THE Fashions for Young and Old Millinery and Other Matters At one of the openings last week we were pleased to note provision, after many years of neglect, had been made for the elderly woman, the woman that unshamedly acknowledges she is no longer young. We have grown weary of seeing the grandmothers and great-grandmothers costumed like girls of 16; it is refreshing to find they are offered this season beautiful bonnets and lovely old-lady gowns of times past. Of course, we do not mean we want to see every woman put on black as soon as she has reached that uncertain territory called a certain age, but we very much want to get away from the generations-to-youthful garb. The other day we saw a white-haired woman downtown whom we had before A LATE WRAP. often noticed because of her unusual height and robust appearance. She evidently takes the greatest pleasure in life; by no means would think of being put on the shelf; and as a rule we have gazed at her admiringly. Often the white-haired dame is well dressed, in well-made tailor gown, sightly and unhampering; but the day we speak of, what do you think she had on? A white costume, the waist on the lingerie order, the waist buttoned down the back, the linen skirt jaunty and short! It was anything but appropriate, the style of dress—the white was all right; white, according to our opinion, appropriate for women of all ages; the buttoned down the back was the utterly impossible, and in this case very unbecoming, the dame somewhat round-shouldered. About the same time we were called on to criticise this costume, we were moved to admiration of another one worn by another white-haired lady, but this lady not nearly so old as the other. She was One goes to the milliners' openings, and comes away wondering why members of this calling make most of their hats so ugly and impossible. When new gowns are on display one can always find a number of very beautiful ones; but hats often seem utterly impossible, the whole assortment an assortment of monstrosities. This year, as we wandered wearly about, it appeared to us things were worse than usual, that the headgear was only made to show how much stuff could be put on a single frame, never in the world intended to wear. There were tip-tilted chimney pots with cabbage roses on the back by the dozen; heavy fur chapeaux that looked like fur' heads; there were all sorts of eccentric shapes in the "ready-to-wear." But, thank fortune, we finally came upon some that really could be worn and not call down general notice on the wearer. The one here illustrated is a model that, it seems to us, could not well be bettered for general use. It is the new Amazon shape, and trimmed simply and gracefully with a velvet band, a buckle, and one drooping plume. This style does not need, as do so many of the ultra hats, a special coiffure, looks well with either high or low dressing of the hair. Small hats, in spite of much talk to the contrary, continue in the favor shown them this summer. Also we have the more picturesque quite large chapeau, the Sir Joseph and Gainsborough; for what woman is there that doesn't like to be told she looks like a picture, and must she not win the compliment by possession of a picture hat? The all-black hat vies with the all white, both returning after a considerable absence. A little gift is added to the white hat, the black may be unrelieved. Not alone in gowns are we to see the lavish use of lace, but also in hats. And surely the lace hat is very pretty. Brown, which was threatened with retirement, is still in good style. A red plume is a great favorite, green is liked, an electric blue is coming forward. Three-piece suits are the best style; the white blouse, to be worn all winter, will be varied by the waist of color matching the suit. For the three-piece suit nothing is so fashionable as chiffon, and chiffon in the colors of the day is really very beautiful. Chinchilla is the favorite fur. All muffs are large and flat, neck pieces very much the same as last year. For hats are not to be recommended, though numbers of them are on display; they are much too heating for comfort and for the good of one's tresses. Coats of cla- In Union There Is Strength. a very good-looking woman, her hair beautiful, her face fresh colored and smooth. Her dress, too, was all white, and the waist a thin one, but there was no attempt at the girlishness of a row of buttons down the back. To be sure, an under slip of pink was worn under the waist, but the soft glow it gave was most becoming to her fresh color and lovely hair; didn't seem too youthful. Her hat was of all black; black lace. Which reminds us, we better begin on the subject hinted at in our introductory paragraph, the really elderly gowns and bonnets seen at the openings. A few years ago, and you might walk aisle after aisle of millinery case and find nothing you would consider suitable for your mother to wear. Well, last week I came upon a whole case full of black bonnets, the good, orthodox sort with strings. Most of them were of lace frilled on with medium amount of fulness, and trimmed very simply with a bit of slender feathery white, a very delicate aigret. A few were all black, with a gleam of good jet. One exquisite model had a little real lace for the white touch, and a couple of soft gray silk flowers. A gown of gray crepe de chine, suitable for an elderly woman, was made with front and sleeves of white silk muslin, the only trimming on the muslin the nearest of tucks. And it may be well to mention here that deep frills of fine sheer goods very neatly tucked has taken the place of the ruffles of lace that had become so painfully common. We examined this very morning a white gown meant for evening wear, and observed the short sleeves were edged with frills having three rows of fine tucks near the hem. It was real lace, made up over white satin, and the contrast with the plain material was very good. Evening wraps this year, as a rule, are voluminous, do not fit the figure closely. There are modified dolmans, there are big circular affairs, and of course the empire. Light colored ones are favored, cream and blue well to the fore. There are so many lovely lighter blues nowadays, very attractive gray tones. The white gown just described was trimmed with narrow bands of flowered ribbon, the background of which was a soft gray-blue. There are gray-blue tailor-made cloth suits, and some afternoon costumes of thinner material. It is a shade that is very becoming when becoming at all. The neckwear for mornings is either the tailored stock like the waist or a black tailored stock with snowy turnover collar and cuffs. Turned down white collars, both plain and embroidered, will be in good style, and very pretty fancy ribbons are offered to wear with these, either as four-in-hands or string ties. We trust the neat way of dressing the neck with washable collars will long continue. For dressy wear we shall have quite a lot of white fuffiness about the throat, the old-fashioned jabot again in favor. One of the new shirt waists, a very smart one, indeed, is a green silk with a gimpse of gray plaid peeping from under front straps and with the narrowest of plaid pipings further trims the front. The stock matches the waist, green trimmed, with just a touch of plaid. It is especially attractive in these mid-autumn days. chilla are very fashionable; one may say only short models appearing; this year furs are so expensive garments have to be curtailed. Cloth for afternoon wear as well as morning duty is preferred to other materials; for evening 'satin perhaps is in the lead, although crepe de chine is always in good style, and light cashemeres are well liked. It is the fancy to unite thin stuffs and heavy, but one cannot say how long it will last. Long wraps and short are equally good, but the long, tight-fitting coat is a little old. Princess gowns are very much the thing, if possibly my lady should have one or two in AN AMAZON HAT. her wardrobe; but if her figure is not well proportioned she must take great care that trimmings are disposed to conceal defects; she may be too long-waisted and slender, then let her have a boloer to shorten the waist and give curve where the line is desired. Short-waisted effects will be popular, generally; not alone in house gowns, but in wraps and dresses for various occasions. Wide belts are employed to give the Empire short waist, and some of the girdles have little sash ends and bows at top to further the effect. Many waists are made with girdle attached, and separate ones worn should match the gown. ELLEN OSMONDE Oh Joy! "You wouldn't like to have me go away and leave you, would you, papa. dear?"

OVERRIDES PREJUDICE The President Would Not be Prevented ed from Talking to Afro- Americans. Jacksonville, Fla. — A telegram was received on the 16th from Secretary Loeb, insisting that the committee that is arranging for the reception of Presi- dent Koosevelt recognize the Afro- Americans of Florida. As a result, the president will make an address to us while in this city. Our citizens asked that the president address them. The com- mittee replied briefly that it was impossible, as the THEODORE ROOSEVELT Loeb, insisting that the committee that is arranging for the reception of President Roosevelt recognize the Afro-Americans of Florida. As a result, the president will make an address to us while in this city. Our citizens asked that the president address them. The committee relied briefly, that it was impossible, as the plans of the entertainment had been perfected. Then leading Afro-Americans of the city took the matter up with the president, and committee told secretary Loeb that everything had been closed and that to break in upon the arrangements would embarrass them. Then came the message that the president would insist upon stopping at the Florida Baptist academy during his drive about the city and would make an address to our people. Rah! for the president!

Johnson, of Fredericktown, Mrs. Maud Alexander has returned from Hamilton. Some of the Missionary Alliance came down from Cleveland Sunday and held meeting in the A. M. E. church. This is against the expectation to live up to the discipline but that seems out of the question here—Selections ridiculing the race and exploiting its weaknesses, whether they be laughable or not, should not be read for the edification of white people. The Irish, German and other classes will not do it outside of a theatre and precious few do it there. Meadville Pa. Items Madam Hardy has one of the best equipped electric and massage parors this side of Pittsburgh or Buffalo—Miss Birdie Butler will visit Cleveland and Oberlin, O., soon—Frank and Farna Cox, old Meadville boys are here visiting.—Rev.

Abam Appling, an Afro-American engineer of Augusta, Ga., has invented an automatic sliding gate that will revolutionize gate building. The patent commissioner said, in granting the patent, that it could be applied to doors, windows, blinds, etc., and was the most practical invention that has come to his attention in recent years. Hon. Ed H. Morris, of Chicago, Ill., has an annual income from his practice of $29,000 besides reality which brings a rental of $35,000 a year. The other day he walked out of court with $15,000 of his client's money which was confiscated by a raid upon an alleged gambling boat, but Morris won the case and handed the money back to his client. In the call for the meeting of the governors of 12 southern states to hold a hateuttanooga, there is a protest against the immigration of foreigners to the south.

The author of "Abyssinia" Jesse Jones wrote in "In Dahomey," the "lyrics" by Alexander Rodgers, who wrote "Nobody," etc. The yellow fever of Natchez, Miss., demonstrates that Dr. A. W. Dumas one of our colored physicians, is an eminent yellow fever specialist, he having treated three-fourths of the cases reported here and cured every one. Indeed he was the first to diagnose and discover yellow fever in Natchez, and Dr. Waslin of the marine hospital confirmed the diagnosis made by Dr. Dumas in every case, which is indeed a victory for the race—Church Record. Prof. J. W. Hoffman, colored, the English cotton expert for the colony of Lagos, West Africa, left Charleston for England on Saturday, September 24, by the Gunard S. S. Lucania. On his arrival at England he will go directly to London to address the British棉田 Spinners' association, from the cotton he will go to Berlin, Germany, to speak at the international Association of Agriculture. From there he will go to Brussels, Belgium, and will leave England the last of October for West Africa to again resume his work.—Advocate, Portland, Ore. J. C. Maben, president of the Sloss-Sheffield Furnace of Alabama, says the railroads in Alabama employ about 10,000 Negro section hands, and the furnace companies employ about 5,000 laborers. He contends that these places should be filled by Italian labor. It will show the Negro that white men can do the same work much better and more of it than the Negro. The Negro should go to the railroad company, and the right, Mr. President Maben, the Negro in Alabama is going to the farm. The thrifty ones are going to their own farms. You may have the Italians in the furnaces, but you will pay them better wages than you pay the Negroes or your fires will be put out.—Advance. The Chicago Tribune said recently: "The bulk of Negro workmen never consisted of strike breakers. Nor are Negroes opposed to unions. Many struck with the unions and remained in the furnaces, but you will have the teamster's strike, while there were 800 Negro strike breakers, the unions held a membership of nearly 2,000 Negro teamsters, and one of their number represented the coal drivers at the Philadelphia convention of the brotherhood of teamsters in August. There are a half dozen Negro delegates to the Chicago Federation of Labor, and several Negro local union officers. Yet it still remains that in times of industrial peace the more desirable places are occupied by Negro workers either because the employers will not hire them or the men will not work with them." Senator Tillman is let loose again. We all thought that his throat disease would put a quietus upon his ralbidity. This time he made his white friends the butt of his waspishness. It took place at Batesburg, S. C., at a political meeting a few days ago. He used his many pronged pitchforks on the men controlling the "Whisky Dispensary," and the presachers. Col. Towill called him a liar, an uproar and a rush for the platform followed. Tillman grew white in the face and cried out like a Commanche for "The Mayor! The Mayor!" Just as soon as quiet was restored he let loose again and said that the editor of the State, published at Columbia, "has told enough lies on me to build a railroad of cross ties to hell." We hope that the editor in question will give Tillman one of his mileage books on that railroad, for his passage down to that region or some other place, would cause much rejoicing.—Advance. Disfranchisement is a two-eled sword—it cuts both ways. In Alabama many whites decline to pay the poll tax of $1.50 per year, and those who have not paid since 1902 owe $4.50, and so on it accumulates. The poll tax in 1903 amounted to $123,000, but it has fallen as low as $87,732 for the present fiscal year, and it is calculated that before the next presidential election there will not be over 40,000 legal voters among the white population. In 1903 Alabama franchised the Negro, and then, by self-action, disfranchised themselves. With only one party in the field, there is no contest nor interest in the election, and many white men do not see the need of paying annually $1.50 to vote when one or two qualified voters are all that may be required to carry the majority their way. Russell county, Alabama, has only 153 white persons who have qualified to vote this year, and, considering the fact that there is only one ticket in the field, that is 152 votes more than is necessary to have one ticket the jority. "Talk about lack of public spirit and political 'dry rot,' it has certainly struck Alabama and similarly atrophied the political interest of all the Negro disfranchisement states." Advance. OH. MARYLAND! Senator Gorman's Democratic Fight to Disfranchise the Afro-Americans of His State. Washington, D. C.—Shall Maryland Afro-Americans continue to exercise the elective franchise? This is the paramount political issue in the state this fall. Senator Arthur P. Gorman, leader of the democratic party of the state, says they shall not. Charles J. Bonaparte, secretary of the navy, says they shall. Gorman will direct the campaign for disfranchisement and Bonaparte will lead the fight against it. In Maryland the issue is called the Poe amendment. This is a proposition to amend the state constitution which the legislature at its last session directed should be submitted to the people. Its author is John P. Poe, and the arm and naval amendment combines the grand-father" clause of some states, with the "understanding" clause of others. The "grandfather" clause prohibits from voting any man whose ancestors in 1859 did not possess the right of suffrage. Few Negroes in Maryland had acquired the privilege of voting at that time, and therefore only a handful would be able to take part in elections now. The "understanding" clause deprived any man when challenged at the polls, to read and interpret a clause of the constitution. Few Negroes in Maryland are able to vote, those who are not disfranchised by the "grandfather" clause would be eliminated from the political equation by the "understanding" clause. The extent of this possible disfranchisement may be estimated when it is said the ratio of colored to white voters in Maryland is one to five. Secretary Bonaparte says: "This amendment is essentially immoral and unjust. It leaves the political rights, practically of all of our citizens, at the discretion of the election and registration officials, who often have been in years past men of infamous character. Every applicant for registration comes within the 'grandfather' and 'understanding' clauses, and if these officials are reckless partisans they can disfranchise any political opponent, whatever his ancestry, by refusing to be satisfied with evidence of his qualification:" Olean, N.

A. H. MARTIN, ESQ. The above is an excellent portrait of Attorney Martin, who in the last few days has won a hotly contested law suit for Mr. S. C. Green, of the New Leonard Sofa Bed Co., in which more than $20,000 were involved. The suit was the outgrowth of a disagreement between Mr. Green and Welcome T. Blue, who held a controlling interest in The Mohawk Realty Co. Mr. Blue's side of the case was looked after by three lawyers (white). Against such odds, nothing except right and an exhibition of superior legal knowledge and ability could possibly have won success and Mr. Martin has every reason to feel proud of his victory. MR. S.

The property involved is that on Central avenue, between Laurel and Greenwood streets, upon which is being erected a three story brick block. FIFTH APPOINTMENT. New York City.—At the instance of Hon.

Since the anniversary comes on Sunday, perhaps one method of celebration might be to have addresses, ceremonies bearing upon the life and services of Mr. Garrison delivered on the day in all our churches throughout the country.

Cleveland, Saturday, Oct. 21, 1905. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST and BEST in the country. Ensley, Ala., has a new code that went into effect this month. It prohibits white men from being shaved in Negro shops and from playing any sort of games in saloons or other public places with Afro-Americans. The penalty for breaking these laws is from $1 to $100. Other ordinances of that "burge" are equally as silly, obnoxious and insulting. Here is exhibited the very quintessence of prejudice-hatred by our "best friends, the southern people." That such laws are unconstitutional there is no doubt, but we presume it would cost the life of any Afro-American in Ensley to contest them in the courts of Alabama. MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE. The idea of barring white men from equal privileges in an Afro-American park is preposterous in the extreme. Not a few white men in America would only too readily use that as a justifiable reason why white men should proscribe Afro-Americans and deny them the rights of men and of an equal citizenship. So long as God lives and reigns there never will be any just and honorable ground why black men should be discriminated against on account of color. The sole reason today for so much friction, strife, contention and bad feeling among the people is because a majority of illiterate and unthinking white people are possessed with a spirit of vanity and pride of color and a contempt of dark-skinned people. An unaccountable aversion of races impels men to assert their self-superiority, which after all is nothing more than the prompting of a selfish and wicked heart and should not exist. The world has long seen the folly of such an anomaly in American life and has been startled at the daring presumption of an enlightened and Christian people in promoting such a practice. The heathen in foreign lands might lend ear to such a practice and enlightened mankind might conden the birthright, freedom of humanity, then become a creature of abomination in the sight of his Maker. It is谎言 that on all sides we are confronted with these degrading and humiliate the shameful demon of caste and prejudice faunt their implims front in our teeth. But it is all wrong. It is wrong in any possible conception. It is wrong because it is repugnant to human nature and because God never willed it. Then because it is wrong it certainly would be criminally wrong for our men to adopt measures discriminating against the white race. St. Louis, Mo., Afro-Americans propose to lay out an immense pleasure park in which equal privileges are to be denied to white men. It is claimed that to do so is both expedient and necessary for the mutual protection of the rights of Afro-Americans. But other safeguards for protection may be inaugurated with the amplest guarantees without any encroachment upon the rights of citizens. We need to offer and maintain such an example before all the world, that mankind may be taught of us and know that though other races in their moral blindness may discriminate against and oppress the children of men, yet we for ourselves are free from the sin and crime of dehumanizing and brutalizing man, the noblest work of God. THE MAGNANIMITY OF AMERICA'S GREAT PRESIDENT. Dr. Julius Goebel has recently been dismissed as a German professor at Standford university by President Jordan for sharply criticising President Roosevelt's book on "The Winning of the West." Dr. Goebel was not less severe than indignant and his displeasure arose from the fact that President Roosevelt as he believed and failed to give deserving credit to the German pioneers in his work. At least Dr. Goebel felt that a measure of partiality was due these pioneers, and he indulged in a criticism that was both caustic and bitter. The German press was divided in their opinion as to the wisdom of the attack upon the president, but President Jordan of the university viewed the comments of the professor as being undeserved and unjust. Prof. Goebel was dismissed much to the regret of President Roosevelt and he did not hesitate to make known his disapproval. Under almost all circumstances, great men, known to be broad and generous, find pleasure in rebuking an opponent, and it would seem that the removal of Dr. Goebel from the professor's chair at Stanford university would be a matter of extreme gratification to President Roosevelt. But not so. He rather deplored the unfortunate circumstance which caused the dismissal of the professor and deemed it a needless rebuke. The professor however was asked to resign. He did so, not knowing what was the outlook for the future. At the instance of our great executive Prof. Goebel was asked to accept the head of the German department at Harvard, where he holds control as a member of the faculty of the great college which gives impulse to the American idea, as maintained in our great national head. The effort of President Roosevelt in securing the appointment of the German professor to his present position, was a masterly one and proves the greatness and magnanimity of the man who administers the affairs and directs the destiny of the greatest people on earth. Very few are the examples of this character to be recorded among men. We care for whatever laurels that may justly come to ourselves and we are little concerned in bestowing charity upon those who seek to depreciate the rewards which we seek at the hands of the public. But magnanimity warms in the bosom of the great man at the white house and in him we find an example well worthy the noblest of men and unmarpassed in any age of the world. It is remarkable that history records the deeds of men who have been illustrious in achievements and in triumphs that have won the admiration of mankind, but the act of our chief executive in extending a generous hand to one who might have incurred the displeasure of thousands of others, reveals a magnanimity of heart that remains without a challenge among men. MAJORS' TREACHERY. Dr. M. A. Majors, an Afro-American physician, has recently declared that civilization has blighted the Afro-American physically and has added nothing to his mental capacity. The doctor is accredited with having traveled in all parts of the world and studied medicine under the noted Dr. Hazen. It may be true that he has traveled and has seen much of the world, and granting that he was a student of Dr. Hazen, yet it becomes the more surprising, that having seen so much and enjoyed such rare advantages, he has acquired such a limited knowledge of the history and affairs of men. He may hold rank as a man of authority on the chronic diseases of American Negroes and he may have the reputation of being foremost in anthropology, but the statement he makes that civilization has blighted the Negro physically and added nothing to the intellectual and moral powers of the Afro-American, only betrays a mental deficiency and weakness on the part of Dr. Majors, who, like scores of others, are striving upon mere speculation to offer something strikingly smart about the Negro. If the truth of mental science is at all to be received, then the doctor himself and thousands of equal attainments with himself, are a point blank contradiction to his own proposition. He cannot exclude himself and others of his calibre from the line of living evidence which refutes the position which Dr. Majors has taken. He is emphatically and absolutely a Negro, and he only degrades himself when he declares that civilization has blighted the Negro physically and mentally. How fortunate for our poor, struggling race, that we find in our midst some of our ablest minds aping the proud caucasian in hurful and savory reflection against themselves. Surely, it does not speak commendably for such who do so, nor does it reveal an extraordinary ability and skill of those who offer such taunts. The civilized world is the best judge of the fruits of civilization in any age of, man's history, and the universal verdict has been that civilization is progressive and humanizing. For, back from the earliest ages, it has in its mighty strides lifted the millions to a higher plane, and every evidence has substantiated the fact that the Afro-American is not an exception. But had we no Dr. Majors and had we no great minds bearing testimony as to the glorious achievements won by the hands of the Negro race, we nevertheless have the fruits of the mighty trumpets of this people along the common walks of life. We have inventors, heroes and statesmen who already have joined with the races of mankind in recording the magnitudes of God's humanity. We have among us men of all professions, who have exalted the intellectual and moral status of the world and have glorified the name of Deity. What indeed does Dr. Majors mean in making the idle declaration that the Negro has deteriorated before the march of civilization? To what sentiment does he cater when he degrades and prostrates himself in the dust of self-humiliation and shame? He himself has lived only within the brief period of a few decades, Evolution has not vouched to him the right of some new revelation. Then from what source does he more than others gather this untenable and unaccountable charge which he attributes to the Negro race? The attitude taken by Dr. Majors is simply puerile, ridiculous and affords undisputed proof of a truckling disposition to slander and outrage his own household. Further comment is needless. Caesar had his Brutus, the Afro-American has his. Quintessence of Damphoolism. According to the daily papers Battling Nelson says: "Gans can claim the title of lightweight champion and have all the fun out of it he wants to, but it won't get him a fight with me. As a matter of fact, I would not fight Gans if he was as white as snow. I think that anyone that will fight an acknowledged fakir is as bad as the man himself. It is the best place, what credit would I get if I whipped Gans. The public would say he laid down, and if he trimmed me they would say it was a fake. He has engaged in so many funny looking fights that no one wants him nowadays." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1905.

All arrangements for these will be in the hands of M. A. Porter, undertaker, Mayville, Chautauqua county, N. Y. MAKE MONEY!

Attractiveness will contribute much to your TAKEN FROM LIFE AFTER TW When you meet a person your first impression is given to you. But appearance. The same applies to you. Nothing adds to or detracts from a lady's or gentleman's appearance so much as the hair. Nothing indicates their character, their gentility, good breeding, their taste, so much as the hair. We all know how much care is taken of the hair by all the leading society ladies in all the large cities. We know how much time a successful man takes in his personal appearance. If you have no individuality you enjoy no advantages. There is one way and only one way in which you can overcome this great handicap and make your hair as beautiful, rich and attractive as the finest head of hair you have ever wished for. Curl-I-Cure, a cure for cuts, will do it. It is different from anything you have ever heard of or seen. It is new to you but old in itself. Curl-I-Cure is but another name for one of the greatest and most wonderful preparations which has ever been discovered. It has been used by the leading doctors all over the world, every nation for many years as a private formula for hair and scalp defects and always brings perfect results. ```markdown ``` 3 3 success—both socially and commercially.

The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis. Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seamstresses are most threatened in this way with the loss of their power to earn a living. The following instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs. Williams, a former horseman, broadway street, Mansfield, Ohio, says: "For years my hands would become so numb at times that I would drop anything I attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that I could not see any longer, and at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the prickling sensations would come on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that I dreaded to go to bed. My family doctor gave me some nerve tablets. They helped me a little, but for a short time after he had taken them and by day or day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally I got a doctor of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began to take them. "The result was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now all right. I can sleep undisturbed by pain, and for two years I have been as well as ever. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed the nerves by making them rich blood and in doing so cure nerved nervous diseases of every description from simple restlessness to paralysis. They have banished the tortures of neuralgia, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and awful pain of locomotor ataxia.

A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general nervous prostration which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial leaving off coffee and using Postum is sufficient. All grocers THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1905. EXTENSIVELY USED. COCOANUT SHELLS FIGURE AS GOOD ADULTERANT. These and Other Foreign Products Enter Into Composition of Spices and Other Commodities. All sorts of queer things crop up as imports. Hundreds of thousands of cocoanuts come here. Most people have an idea that the meat of the nut is worked up into cakes and pies. Possibly it is. What becomes of the shells? The nut can stand about 20 days before it deteriorates, and when a cocoanut goes bad it has the flavor of an overripe egg. The importers were never known to throw a nut overboard, so the presumption is that none is lost, says the Brooklyn Eagle. One man who has been in the trade denies that coconut shells are ground up for coffee, but admits they are possibly used to mix pepper. Several hundred bags of crushed olive nuts reached here lately from the Mediterranean. There were previous shipments. These may form part of the pepper that you will use a few weeks from this time. "What is the use," said a man who has been in the grain business for nearly half a century, "It is only prejudice, anyway. If you take the cleanest wheat or flour, put it in a bottle, seal it hermetically, and in a few days it will develop weevil. The weevil is harmless outside the fact that he is the greatest destroyer of grain known. Magnified, he looks like a tapir, with a long snout. He doesn't bite a human like a mosquito or a flea, but he works woe to the men in the grain trade." The West Indian cockroach is said to be about destructive to coconuts as the weevil is to grain here. Only a man who has sojourned with West Indian cockroaches on the San Blas coast can properly appreciate them. Some day an enterprising citizen will organize packs of Bashi Kouay ants to end the cockroaches. Then it might be like the mongoose and the rat. It would be all mongoose, and nothing left. As nothing has ever been known to withstand the onward march of the Bashi Kouay, it is perhaps as well to bear the ills we have as to fly to those we know not of. All the same, the West Indian cockroach is said to be responsible for much of the loss of coconuts. He is reported to have a habit of boring into the eyes, or "monkey face," that destroys the fruit. This is a serious proposition. The coacouan is a standard of values. The copra of the South Sea islands is the disselcated cocouan of the East Indian trade, and the main medium of commerce in the South Pacific. There is a story, little short of romance, connected with the coconut and a Brooklyn man. The fiber, or husk, of the nut, is converted into a thousand uses. The first one to handle it here was a little Irishman in Williamsburg. There was money in it and after turning the matter over in his own mind, he saw that native labor on the Malabar coast was cheaper than in the East river. He collected his few assets and settled down at Travancore. He made a big success of the venture, and established a great East Indian importing house in Manhattan. It is there still, in the hands of his descendants under man who came here. The Williamsburg man who ventured his all acquired such an ascendancy over the rajah of Travancore that his word was practically law. He was allowed to coin his own money, and when on his way home here some years ago he died at Cairo. And then what becomes of the coconut shells, coconut shells, crushed olive nuts, and the thousand and one imports that seem valueless to the average man. They are all used in one way or another. The shells of the cocoa bean make a good substitute for ground cinnamon or cassia. There is a use for everything in the modern market. A few years ago, in Argentina, the cattle, sheep and horses were slaughtered for the hides and skins, the carcasses being thrown into pits, Baron Liebig revolutionized all that. To-day there is not an ounce of waste in the abattoirs along the River Platte any more than there is in the most advanced plant in the United States. Every scrap of hide is sent here to be converted into glue stock. Some of the imports on the manifests would not look well in the newspaper columns, but they have a great economic value, and nothing is wasted to-day. Gigantic Gorilla. The French periodical, La Nature, publishes two photographs of a gigantic gorilla, the largest ever seen, which was recently shot in the Camerons by M. Eugene Brusseaux and a party of sportsmen on the banks of the Sanga river. It was one of a family of three, whose footprints could be easily made out along the shore of the river. Its height was eight feet. The width across the shoulders was four feet six inches, and the right hand alone weighed over five pounds. The body of the animal weighed more than 700 pounds, and it required eight men to carry it to the residence of the sportsman who shot it. The carcass of the gorilla, which was only killed after eight rifle bullets had been fired into it, is being prepared for exhibition at the Berlin museum of natural history.

THE BUMPER WHEAT YIELD OF CANADA 100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat from 4,000,000 Acres of Land. In order to secure the attention of the reader to any special article that is brought before the public, it is often the custom to lead the reader on by the introduction of an interesting story until, by one bold jump, he is introduced to the subject that it is desired shall be brought to his notice. This is not fair to the reader, and it is not the intention to do that in this article. It will discuss in the briefest way "Western Canada" and its possibilities for settlement. For the past six or seven years the Government of the Dominion of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers throughout the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of, the large area of fertile lands was discussed, the possibilities of the country as a graingrowing district were talked of, and the story of the success of farmers from the United States was told. The story is not yet an old one. The two hundred thousands from the United States, who have made Western Canada their home, have made advantage of the 100 acres of land that the Government gives free to actual farmers are telling the story to-day to their friends. They have proven the statements made through the columns, and by the Government Agents. They have produced from their land twenty, thirty, forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre, and netted profits ranging from three to ten and more dollars on every acre tilled. They have found the climate fully as good as they were told it would be, schools were convenient and easily organized, railways were not far distant, and markets close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them, and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land, because it was low-priced and good, and hundreds of cases could be cited where the purchase price of the land was paid out of the first crop. The writer knows of cases this year where the farmer, as a result of the yield on his farm, was put in a position that would enable him to increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for it. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada. But what may be said of this year? We are now in a position to speak regarding it. The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have been remarkably favorable. Had conditions been no better than in past years there would have been every cause for congratulation. We find, though, all previous records broken, and that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hundred million bushels of a yield—or 25 bushels to the acre. Could anything better be desired? Covering the entire country the same splendid reports are being received. The following dispatch was sent by Mr. F. W. Thompson, Vice President of the Ogilvie Milling Co., one of the most careful grain men in America: "Have just returned from covering several hundred miles of the crop district. I never saw anything like it in this country before. The average yield and quality far exceeds our earlier expectations. It is an immense crop. The weatner is extremely favorable." Up to three weeks ago it was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the crop would not reach general expectations. F. W. Thompson sends another telegram from Winnipeg to night, saying that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred million bushels. Before he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure. The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a decision if you wish to better your condition; or, if you have a family of boys that you wish to become settled on farms, it is a safe proposition to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian Government Agent, and get particulars as to most suitable districts and railway rates.

GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS MARK CRABS AND LOBSTERS. Method Adopted for the Purpose of Tracing Migrations—Experiments of Fisheries Bureau. Ingentious government scientists have devised a novel and curious means of keeping track of the movements of marine animals—such, for example, as the edible crab, whose perambutals in its native waters have been found worth studying, says the Chicago Chronicle. It has been ascertained that, for some unknown reason, nearly all of the female crabs in the Chesapeake are in the lower bay—a fact in all probability having something to do with the density of the water—and the United States fisheries bureau wants to learn whether any migration occurs, of males or females, and, if so, at what season of the year. Information on this point might be useful in the experiments now contemplated for breeding these crustaceans, which are threatening to become scarce, artificially. It is proposed to catch a few dozens of both sexes and fasten securely to each specimen a small copper tag bearing a number, thereupon restoring the animals to their freedom. Each tag would also bear a request for its prompt return to the fisheries bureau at Washington, by anybody chancing to capture the wearer. The tags being numbered consecutively and memoranda being kept of the place at which each crab was liberated, the journey made by the crab between the date of consigning it to the water and the date on which it was caught would be exactly known. This method has been practiced with considerable success in the cases of lobsters, 479 of which were liberated recently in Buzzard's Bay and adjacent waters. Notwithstanding the fact that the Greek and Portuguese fishermen who own most of the lobster pots in that vicinity were disposed to retain the tags in their possession for use as charms, 76 were returned. When the data thus supplied were reckoned out much useful knowledge about the movements of the animals was secured and incidentally it was discovered that these crustaceans are much more rapid travelers than had (been supposed. Some of those released were found to have journeyed ten miles or more within 48 hours. One naturally thinks of the lobster as a slow-moving creature. It is such, indeed, on land, but in the water it can not only run with great rapidity, but swim also with a swiftness that would do credit to a fish. It is known that boosters migrate from the shallows to the deeper water in winter to escape the cold, returning shoreward in the spring; but it is likely that they travel at other times in pursuit of the food of which they are most fond—such, for instance, as the shellfish, which they crush with their powerful claws. A lobster, of course, has one claw for crushing and another for cutting, the two being quite unlike in structure, as anybody may see for himself. The tags were fastened to the lobsters' noses. When experiments were made by the fisheries' bureau, not long ago, for the purpose of keeping tab on salmon after they went to sea, the pieces of copper were attached, necessarily, to the back fins of the fishes. The salmon, as everybody knows, is a deep sea fish, which run up the rivers to spawn. Hatched in the upper waters of a stream, the young salmon makes its way to the ocean and stays there until it is ready to reproduce its species. But what sea it do meanwhile? How far it goes away from the table of its native river? How old is it when it seeks fresh water to spawn? These were one or two of the questions which the experts were unable to answer. By tagging many of the young fishes, however, and liberating them, the requisite information was obtained with the utmost accuracy. Each tag bore a date showing the age of any adult fish salmon that was afterward caught thus ticketed. The age of spawning was found to vary a good deal with the species, but the tags used in a number of rivers on the west coast proved that these faint creatures never go far away from the mouths of the streams in which they were hatched and to which they return when they are old enough to breed. Some of the tagged salmon, by the way, were caught in the deep sea off the coast by fishermen. It used to be supposed that shad made an annual migration up the Atlantic coast, entering the rivers successively as they proceeded northward; but now it is known that they spend most of the year, like the salmon, in the deep sea off the mouths of the rivers in which they were hatched, feeding on the bottom and never going very far away. When they are old enough they enter the rivers to spawn. Perhaps some more facts of interest and value might be ascertained about the shad by utilizing the tagging plan with them. Some Physical Facts A person's eyes are out of line in two cases out of five, and one eye is stronger than the other in seven persons out of ten. The right eye is also as a rule higher than the left. Only one person in fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest percentage of defects prevailing among hair-haired people. The smallest vibration of sound can be distinguished better with one ear than with both. The nails of two fingers never grow with the same rapidity, that of the middle finger growing the fastest, while that of the thumb grows slowest. In fifty-four cases out of one hundred the left leg is shorter than the right. Nervy Prince.
