THE The Fashions of the Day Pretty Negligee and Underwear The gown makers continue to turn out skirts in three lengths; the short, practical one; the all-round length for afternoon wear, which just touches the ground; and the really long, long all around, perhaps three inches lying on the floor, the kind supposed to give a statuesque appearance to the wearer. The latter is generally becoming and to be recommended for house wear. Skirts are still sheath-like, perhaps even more so than they have of late been; and there is not quite so much concern for the flare at the bottom, although in some mysterious way a lot of fulness is attained. In Paris the princess and Empire robes appear to have hannished almost everything else, and the bolero is affected by every other woman met GRACEFUL AND USEFUL. with. The tendency is to do away with the waist line, to the waist line of the dip belt; but on this side of the water we are a bit slow to banish the style so becoming to womankind all. It is well to be a little slow in accepting absolute rules, for to-day, if ever, it is the fashion over here to At this time of year the stores display new things in wrappers and tea-jackets, and the latest thing in underwear is now put out for my lady's consideration. We observe in our study of prevailing modes that the princess has invaded negligee apparel, and we vote the princess wrapper a stately and graceful garment. Empire styles are very good also, the skirt and waist joined in lines most becoming to the individual wearer. Sometimes the princess wrapper is cut in one piece, but oftener in two. It is fitted to the figure by means of small tucks that stop just above the hips, simulate a girdle. Not infrequently an elaborate boiler is added to the wrapper, which thus becomes a "house gown" and quite dressy enough to wear at dinner. Such a gown is indispensable to the weared society woman, and the business woman might well adopt it to luxuriate in after the stress of the day is over. The French woman has better taste in underwear than the average American woman; the former goes in for fineness and exquisite handwork, the latter for showy trimming. But there seems some improvement noticeable. ONE OF THE NEW NIGHTGOWNS. lately, and we find the better underwear less elaborate, of superior material. In nightgowns, considerable trimming is allowed, however, and the mode illustrated is a fair sample. It is made Empire style, with a low, square neck, which may on may not be filled in, just as one fanies. The material used is fine nailskins; the vest is of tucks alternating with insertion, and the Empire bolero has turned-back revers trimmed to match. The sleeves, full and short, are finished with a deep, lace-eded frill. This is a very attractive gown, and might do for a lounging robe on a hot summer day. Almost all the pretty night gowns are made with short sleeves and low neck, and one soon grows used to the decollete. Corset covers are less and less ornate, and drawers not so furbelowed. Petticoats come in endless variety. As a rule an old waist does not answer very well for the silk underslip follow no one fashion—and is it not true that the American woman is building up an individuality of style that bids fair to lessen the prestige of the long-ruling Parisian? We have recently had a peep at spring models, and, though it is somewhat early to talk of fashions that are to bloom late in the spring, we feel tempted to let fall a word or two anent soon-to-be shown designs. There are to be some very smart walking suits of the three-piece order, the feature that skirt and waist match and that the jacket is a separate affair; for instance, there will be a shirt-waist suit of brown and blue check, the checks small and neat, and worn with this a jacket of either blue or brown, the whole making for harmony rather than sharp contrast. Brown, that color whose beauties are from time to time brought forward, is now much to the fore as a trimming. It has been found that it serves about as well as black to refine and tone down, and this year we see women wearing a brown hat with a pale blue gown, with the old-rose so fashionable now, and with prunes and plums and reds, a touch of brown with the peacock tones, is the height of fashion, and fancy may have started with the rage for brown fur trimming that has marked the season at the French capital. Again tempted to refer to spring fashions, we would speak of the fact that there are going to be some very attractive long-coat suits in silk. In the same breath we would mention that the short Eton coat will lead for wrap and other costumes. In cloth a long redingote is pretty heavy and burdensome, and save in silk it will not be so popular as it has been. Silk is extensively used for trimming; the plaited frills are new and pretty; there is a liking among dress-makers to make sleeves, girdle and yoke of a wool gown of another fabric, and silk is preferred above others. The all-silk dress for evening wear is the best style, and a more serviceable costume than this cannot be had; with little changes here and there, it will do for any hour of the day or evening. The graceful wrap here pictured is one of those ever-available possessions plain enough for day time, elegant enough for evening; for carriage or for walking, although too cumbersome for a very long tramp. But it is a very desirable wrap to own. to wear with a lingerie blouse; much of the set of the latter depends on the underslip, and slips should be made with that idea in view. They are cut to have a little fullness in front and to fit in the back, the sleeves should have considerable fullness at the shoulder. The new lingerie waists are very lovely, and all signs indicate they will be popular for a long time to come. A very pretty one is made of white crepe de chine trimmed with Valenciennes insertion and frills and large medallions of other lace. Embroidery on sheer net is a pleasing novelty in the way of trimming for these waists, and another variation is a contrasting delicate color; pale pinks and blues appear on a soft cream ground, and the effect is charming. BIRDS SCATTER FISH SPAWN Take Up the Eggs While Bathing and Transport Them to Prairie Ponds. Senator Young asked Del Travis how happened that catfish and sunfish could be found in ponds on the prairie or any place else where there was no connection with running water, and received an explanation which is interesting, relates the Topeka Capital. Every boy knows that he can catch "bullheads" in ponds which have not had running water in them for years, and the boys have had many different ways of explaining it. The favorite explanation of the boy is that it rains fish sometimes. "The reason of it is this," said Mr. Travis. "The catfish and the sunfish lay their eggs in shallow water. In fact, they always get close to the shore as possible to deposit their eggs. The eggs are a sticky substance and when the birds get into the water to take a bath they get the eggs on them. Then, they fly away and the eggs, which really can hardly be called eggs at the time they are in the first stage, become dry. The bird then goes to the first water it comes to and takes a bath. This releases the eggs and they settle in the pond. They hatch in a short time and that accounts for the bullheads in the ponds. "There is another way the eggs are scattered. Many of the wading birds get their feet and legs covered with the substance and they transfer the eggs in a like manner. All other fish in this state excepting the catfish and the sunfish lay their eggs in water so deep that the birds cannot disturb them. This is true of the channel catfish and that is the reason the bullhead is the only catfish found in the ponds." What Is Beauty? Beauty, after all, is largely a matter of opinion. Not everybody considers the face the only criterion of beauty. A graceful figure, exquisite cleanliness, a winning manner, charm of expression, pretty hair, beautiful hands all play an important part in the sum total of beauty. For Every Woman. It is within every woman's power to cultivate some talent or charm of face or figure, all her own, if she will own her own capabilities for improvement. In Union There is Strength. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1906. SQUIRE ROBERT H. TERRELL. Reappointed a Justice of the Peace o the District of Columbia—Something of His and Mrs. Terrell's Interesting Career-- Her Father Wealthy. So much has appeared in the papers recently anent Mr. Terrell that we feel our readers would like to see "what he looks like." Therefore the splendid portrait above, the cut for which we were obliged to secure in the east or rather southeast—Baltimore, Md. Mr. Terrell is in the prime of life and was graduated from Harvard college many years ago. He has taught school and been admitted to the faculty of the peace of the District of Columbia several years ago by the president, he had been principal of the Washington, D.C. colored high school and had practiced law in that city. His wife was Miss Mary (Molle) Church, a daughter of "Col. Bob" Church, Memphis, Teen's wealthiest Afro-American, the proprietor of that city's park and theatre for our people. Mr. Church amassed much of his wealth in the saloon and real estate business. Many years ago, during a financial stringency, he loaned the city of Memphis a large sum of money, and a few years ago when the confederate veterans met there in the saloon, he contributed $1,000 toward the fund being raised to entertain and care for them. At the time this caused much comment of all kinds. Mrs. Terrell, a graduate of Oberlin college, is one of our brightest and best educated women, having studied abroad as well as in this country where she also taught (at Oberlin) some years before her marriage. At the World's Women's congress in Berlin, Germany, several years ago she was acknowledged by both the foreign and this country's press as the best speaker in attendance, delivering addresses in three languages—English, French and German. She and Mrs. Ida Gibbs Hunt, now of Tamaatea, Madagascar, the daughter of Judge M. W. Gibbs, of Arkansas, were classmates at Oberlin college and both were known to, and friends of, the editor of The Gazette even in those days. They are exceptionally talented women of the race, splendid representatives of our best, to-day. Recently Mr. Terrell was one of the six justices of the peace of the District of Columbia reappointed by President Roosevelt. There had been 11, but congress at its session last winter reduced the number to six. E. M. Hewlett, Esq., a well known Afro-American attorney of Washington, D.C., and Mr. Terrell were two of the 11. For a few days recently the latter's reappointment was "hung up" in the U. S. senate as the result of the opposition of Afro-Americans at the nation's capitol who disliked a speech he delivered in the east last fall which questioned the refutation, and criticism of the race, and because Mr. Terrell was secretary of the defunct Capital Savings bank, our only institution of the kind at Washington, D.C. We have never noticed his being charged with responsibility for its being wrecked. DOINGS OF THE RACE. W. T. Menard and A. A. Martin have recently been promoted to be machine operators in the government printing office. Miss Perry, the only Afro-American in a singing contest at Ogden, Utah, won the first prize, a pretty gold watch. The National Memorial association met in Chicago recently and set apart May 24th of each year for memorial services in honor of the memory of such men and women as Wendell Phillips, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stone, Elijah P. Lovejoy, Roscoe Conkling, Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison and Charles Sumner. George Dixon, the former feather weight world's champion, got into the ring again recently at the New York Long Acre Athletic club and showed some of his old-time cleverness. His opponent, a strong and skilful young man, was unable to get near Dixon. The affair was in the nature of an exhibition and was a draw. The sports gave Dixon an ovation. According to a letter from prominent Mississippi Negro unless that state is replenished by immigration from somewhere, farming will be done only in spots, as the Negro is rapidly leaving the state. Too much lynching of the Negro men and seducing the Negro women under Vardaman influence accounts for it—Seattle (Wash.) Republican. The Pythian Mutual Investment association of Charleston, W. Va., paid $7,000 for a lot 70 by 93 feet on "Capitol Square," that city, a year ago. Since it has completed an $18,000 three story brick building, on the ground floor of which Afro-Americans conduct a grocery, pharmacy and barber shop, the last in the rear on a side street. The second floor is given GAZETTE. up to office rooms and the third floor to lodge and assembly rooms. All up to date in every particular. The Detroit (Mich.) Informer speaking of B. A. Morris, who it says graduated from Wilberforce university last year, said last week: "Mr. Morris is alleged to have been married in Chicago Nov. 1st, 1889, by Rev. J. F. Thomas, and again June 29, 1904, in Kansas City, Mo., by Rev. F. J. Peck, Deserted wife No. 2 in Chicago and came to Detroit. Wife No. 1 applied for divorce in Chicago, but dropped it upon learning of his engagements in this city, and certain Detroit maidens now consider themselves exceedingly fortunate that they were not duped into marrying the oft-time groom." TRUTH ABOUT THE CONGO M. De Brazza Accuses French of Harsh Cruelty to the Natives. From the Lagos (West Africa) Week Record It will be remembered that M. de Brazza, who died of dysentery on his way back to the coast, had been sent out by the French government to report upon the conditions of the French Congo. This report is now in the hands of the government. The Petit Parisien declares that it forms a mercelless indictment of M. Gentil's administrative methods. M. de Brazza accuses the commissary general of upholding the Congo merchants in their exploitation of the native carriers. The salary of the native carriers should be 164 a month, but, as he is generally paid in kind, the trader usually succeeds in defrauding him of more than 50 per cent. of his wages. Although it is forbidden to force the natives to such service, the practice is carried on, and the victims of hled and lured are dislodged in swarms. If they fly to the bush in order to escape their tormentors, their wives and children are seized, herded together in "reconcentratos" and held as hostages till the men return. In such camps the mortality is said to be awful. M. Gentil is even accused of having committed acts of cruelty such as led to the recent condemnation of Gand and Toque. At Brazzaville, Grimbingul, and other places natives of both sex have been beaten to death. Others after being beaten have been hung up by their feet. There are charges of summary execution—men shoot without trial. “Terror reigns everywhere,” adds M. de Brazza, “and the native knows not to harm them may appeal in order to obtain justice for the functionaries—if they are not executioners themselves—keep silence, fearing dismissal.” It is stated that M. Gentil visited the Brazza at Brazzaville. The great explorer made no secret of the nature of the report he was drawing up. Gentil's last words to Brazza before hurrying back to France were: “I shall never forgive you for what you are doing. It is a duel between us to the death.” M. Gentil is already in France and being in glowering terror, the flour, sibling soap, and towels. They self admitted that some 20,000 natives had been sacrificed on the “route de Francais” in carrying supplies to the troops of the Tchad—a distance of 175 miles. Obituary—Mr. John Betts Mt.

In this dread day, when dire attempts are made To stifle thought, and make truth's friends afraid; When Truth and Justice, on all sides oppress, For succor cry to every valiant breast, A champion falls—a champion who forsook Pleasure's smooth path for Duty's sterner book; Whom some denounced, and others did deride Yet turned him not from Justice's quest aside. Tourgee is dead—died serving still the land He helped to save with loyal heart and hand; That heart, whose pulses throbbed with love of right. Failed not its owner in the thick of fight. But nerved the hand that stood against the horde. To aim the gun, or wield th' avenging sword. He loved his country; loved her to th' extent. He'd rather die than see her torn and rent. And yet, had rather seen her life-blood split. Than live, a fabric based on sin and guilt. He knew injustice—call it what we will. Slavry, proscription, 'its injustice still The surtest wedge, as little as some think. The Ship of State, and all on board, to sink. Throughout this land a feeling ought to creep Of deepest awe—a hero lies asleep! Halfmast should float our flags, and tell the earth How much we reverence men of genuine worth. Whether as man of letters or affairs, Tourgee the olive-wreath of glory wears: Tourgee, the soldier, novelist, judge, the man. In all the hope of best American. Tourgee is dead! Tourgee's not dead! For round about his head, Long as the summer suns shall come and go. Glory shall hover in one constant glow. And mention of his name Shall fan to life the flame That flickers in the unconquered breast. Which says, however much oppressed, "Torture as you will, 'Een in the humblest heart that ever beat, Let every Negro, be he where he may, Lift up his voice in holy prayer and say, "Great God, who over fate of men dost reign, Grant that this noble life be not in vain; Since he is fall'n, do thou in mercy raise Another champion, deaf to blame or praise, And teach this nation that its mission is For wider, deeper human sympathies, Which who follows, like Tourgee, shall find Himself a beacon light to human kind, Pointing the wholesome lesson that the fight Is never lost so long's there's one for right, And that, though crimson run the years and long, Triumphant justice shall subdue the wrong." Then shall we know each other man to man, Not black nor white, but just American. JAMES EDGAR FRENCH in Chicago (II) Conservator. Fourteen Motor Cars Arrived POLLENT MOTOR CARS ARRIVED. Nashville, Tenn.—The Union Transportation Company has lived up to its promise, and after so long a time the cars are here. There are 14 in hand and much larger and finer than the four that would not work, and were therefore, sent away. The purchasing, shipping and putting these cars into operation cost the company practically $10,000, but it has kept its pledges without any reference to the cost or the worry. The embarrassment is over and our people are relieved. Nashville has "Jim Crow" street cars. Our people here refused to ride in them and have been walking for months, awaiting the arrival of their company's automobiles. Thank the Lord! They have finally arrived. 2 One Year. $1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 5.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1890 to 1904, 1896 to 1908, 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, Saturday, Jan. 13, 1906. 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. On Monday the editor of The Gazette wired and wrote Hy D. Davis, state fire marshall and chairman of our county republican executive committee, who was in Columbus, asking him if his alleged interview in Monday morning's Leader endorsing southern disfranchisement, was correct and later in the day received the following telegram in reply: Columbus, O., Jan. 8, 1906. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Ethics Department Dear Friend: Cannot say. Haven't seen paper. HY. D. DAVIS. Our letter to Mr. Davis on Monday, which he doubtless received Tuesday, also contained the interview in question. To it we have not received a reply. We shall suspend judgment pending the receipt of an answer to our letter, or until we can see Mr. Davis on his return to the city. It is difficult to believe that our friend of years' standing could deliver himself of such "rot." If did not "sound" a bit like the Hy Davis we thought we knew, and still think we know, in spite of the alleged interview. THE NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. GUILTY OF VILLAINOUS INJUSTICE. The National Cash Register Co., or Dayton, in making the recent change in its janitor force by dismissing its Afro-American employees simply upon the ground of substituting white men to take their places, have done a thing which is at once ridiculous and reprehensible. Manager Chalmers may believe that his action is fully justified and sustained upon the explanation given out to the public. But he must give reasons other than those for removing capable and reliable men from places of trust on account of their color. The position he takes is as untenable as it would be to dismiss all the black-haired men and bring in those having red hair or to dismiss all cross-eyed men and take in their stead near-sighted ones. The managers seem to have some keen construction of conscience in what they have done, for they fully realize their hopeless inability to escape public censure and to conceal the open shame to which they have exposed themselves. They modestly announce that a change has been made in their janitor force designedly to leave the impression that the arrangement was mutual and honorable. But the Afro-Americans have been peremptorily and summarily dismissed because there was no other alternative and with the ultimate purpose of turning them down only, because they are not known as white men. Americans and citizens of the same commonwealth and of one national compact, animated with the same spirit and loyalty to the world's greatest republic, and rendering acceptable service to the common cause, yet the National Cash Register Co., once supposed to be magnanimous and fair-dealing with all men, now resort to petty intrigue and unchristian discrimination. The act is not only a gross reproach to the better American feeling, but it is retrogressive. The company offer bribes to the Afro-American churches, ask that the dismissed employees shall content themselves in suppressed silence and at the sacrifice of their heaven endowed manhood. Not at all dissatisfied with our men or their work, nor because their services have not been fully remunerative to the company, but because "they want to give the young man of the country a chance to work up in business." They want to give the young men of the country a chance! A marvelous want indeed, which now prompts a large and wealthy company to encroach upon the common right of men to earn bread. But who are the young men of the country, unless in truth it embraces all who would worthily contribute to the material growth and development of our national resources, and to whom are all loyal Americans more immediately indebted except to those who mutually labor for the weal of our institutions of government? What right then under American laws has any company to draw the line of distinction in maturing and developing true American manhood? But if in this selfish and cruel discrimina- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1906. tion the company demands that the white young men of the country must have a chance, we ask in all reason and consistency to whom to-day and to whom in all the past have the avenues in business, in trade and commerce been more liberally conceded than to this class of young Americans? It demands a chance for the young white men to work in business to the exclusion of a class who even now under restraint are taking second and inferior places that are scorned and disregarded by the more affluent of the country. Again this very firm declares that it wants to allow every employee a chance for promotion through any of its departments. Here again the company submits a shameful conglomeration in statement, because it "fires" one class of our citizens upon no just ground while it obsequiously proposes the promotion of another. The deal only reveals the uncertainty and treachery of human nature. When the National Cash Register Co. was first organized it very willingly accepted the services of Afro-Americans in their humble grade as janitors. It was even glad to have the labor of black men to do the menial work. Afro-Americans have offered an example of sacrifice and industry to the man of any race who would scorn the drudgery of the company. That company has prospered and enjoys a patronage and wealth not to be despised. With unfeeling ingratitude this "colored" force is now spurned and rejected. What though it has presented the dismissed janitors one week's pay in advance? Was it done through any other spirit save that of humiliation and shame, and was it not designed to mitigate the enormity of the injustice perpetrated against the very men who had been faithful and true to the last? It matters nothing that these misguided men saw fit to endorse resolutions thinking the company for its kind and liberal treatment. It matters nothing that these unfortunates were made the recipients of kindly regard on their leaving. Such treatment but emphasizes the fact that they have been unjustly dealt with and that they deserve the compensation which is due all men, irrespective of color. As the case now stands, these men are without employment, must confront hardships and conditions for an indefinite time while their dependent families must suffer. Honest toil, regardless of color, is always to be commended, and when this is not done it renders the man or the company making the distinction an enemy to society and a traitor to mankind. Certainly, too, it is not a question to be considered as to where our forefathers dwelt. We are all the creatures of circumstances and we are all from foreign lands. There a man to-day who dares not say to himself: "This is my own, my native land?" Then what right has any man the Vanderbilt or the Rockefeller, to say to the poor white man when he shall or where he shall work, so long as that man is honest? And why may any firm deny to the industrious and faithful Afro-American toiler the right to earn a living so long as he is honest? President John H. Patterson of the National Cash Register Co. brought on the removal of the Afro-American janitors and upon him rests the responsibility of the shameful act. He has imposed upon the weak for the strong; has challenged the sacred right of other institutions to employ Afro-American workmen and has offered a premium for high-handed outrage upon the holy precept of our Lord of do unto all men as they would have men do unto themselves. Against such injustice the Christian church of America has a right to offer its indignant protest. KANSAS' "JIM CROW" LAW Permitting Separate Schools in That State, Declared Constitutional by the State Supreme Court. Topeka, Kan.—One of the most important decisions rendered by the supreme court in years was handed down on the 6th in the case of Richardson against the board of education of Kansas City, Kan. The court holds that the law providing for the separation of Afro-American and white pupils in the Kansas City high school, enacted last winter, is constitutional. Our people all over the state opposed the passage of this law and have fought the case through all of the courts. They regard the measure as the opening wedge for the segregation of the races in all schools of the state. It is possible that other communities will ask the next legislature for special acts separating the races or for the removal of the seven justice concurred in the opinion written by Justice Greene, and Justice Burch dissented, giving no specific reasons. The case raised a constitutional question, the attorneys for our people contending that the act was special legislation, such as is prohibited by the state constitution. The court holds that it is within the powers of the legislature to extend the law to regulate the attendance of races in all schools of the state. This decision we feel sure would be knocked out in the higher court—U. S. supreme court. PLAYS HIS LAST TUNE. Aged Afro-American Shoots Himself After a Performance on Banjo. Baltimore, Md.-With a group of his admirers in a circle about him, all in a glee from his stirring music, Jeferson Goldring, an old banjo player, played his last tune recently about 7 o'clock. He was holding a concert at 1026 North Carlton street, when, from a childish impulse, he pulled a pistol from his pocket and began to twirl it about his fingers. Suddenly it went off, the bullet tore a big wound in his leg. It did not seem serious but in a few moments he was dead, Apoplexy, superinduced by the shock of the pain, is said to have been the cause of death. Coroner Baldwin gave a verdict of accidental death and gave permission to take the body to the morgue. Goldring had a reputation in northwest Baltimore for his proficiency in playing old southern melodies and was well liked. MAKES THE BLOOD BOIL. Protests, Local Daily Papers, Especially "The News," Should Heed—The Use of Mongrel Terms. The following paragraph from Monday's News and the following letters are self-explanatory: interesting and important. Read them carefully and the News said on Monday: "The best cono show of the season is at the Cleveland. "The Smart Set" goes "Rufus Rastus" several pegs better and I believe S. H. Dudley, the chief comedian, will please a larger audience than Ernest Hogan. The chorus, like all cono choruses, works as if its several members were doing it all for the fun they get out of it. Some of these yellow ladies are rather pretty to look at and they sing like (black) prima donna of the organization. The prime agement of "The Smart Set" has arranged to hold a dancing contest at the Cleveland next Friday night, when any dancer may show his prowess and try for a ten dollar prize." Mrs. Boyd's Protest! City, Jan. 9, 1906. Editor Gazette, My Dear Sir: As a follow-editor is it not within your power to demand of the editor of that contemptable sheet. The Cleveland News, an apology for the language used in commenting upon the production at the Cleveland Theatre this week? While I admit that the "Smart Set" has a great need of improvement, still is it quite fair that the players should be designated as "coons" and the young ladies spoken of as if they were prize exhibitions at a country fair? I do not know whether a very great many of our people are subscribers to that paper or not, but I hope that after reading such gross insults as were published in Tuesday's edition, they will promptly discontinue reading the paper and allowing it within their "doors. My Blood Boils When I Think of It! "Coons," "black birds!" Is it an intelligent man or a narrow-minded fool who would dare offer such stuff to a reading public? Yours respectfully, Our Third Protest! Cleveland, O. J., Jan. 10, 1906. Managing Edit "The News," City. Dear Sir: The enclosed letter is but one of many received this morning, but is sufficient because it is indicative of the line of thought and protest all are making against something I have protested against to you several times in the past. I have hesitated to ask our people of this city, between eight and ten thousand in number, to attend a sporting event; it is only in the sporting and theatrical departments of the News that these disgusting references to members of my race, occur. In referring to the high-class German the News does not call them "dutch"; in the case of the Irish, "micks"; in the case of the Jew or Hebrew, "sheenies"; and yet these mongrel terms including "coon," "darkey," etc., are synonymous, miserably derives of the class or race the individual or individuals referred too in such a disgusting manner, are a part of. In all the years of publicity of this city have never had such a complaint as this to lodge against this publication, until its recent change of management; and too in this alleged day of progress and civilization. I sincerely trust that as far as the News is concerned there will be no further cause for complaint along this line. Very truly yours, AS A MAN THINKETH A beautiful little volume, the object of which is to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that— "They themselves are makers of themselves" by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness. Contents. Thought and Character Effect of Thought on Circumstances Effect of Thought on Health and the Body Thought and Purpose The Thought-Factor in Achievement Visions and Ideals Serenity It is little books like this that give one higher ideals and renewed inspiration. They make one forget "circumstances" and "environment" and think only of the power that lies within oneself. "Thought tends to take form in action," and Mr. Allen shows how practical this can be made and what a force it can become in the life of you. "You will be what you will to be" is not merely a poetical thought, but a practical truth. With a definite ideal in his mind, believing in it and working toward it, Mr. Allen claims a man can make of himself what he will. "As a Man Thinketh" is a book to make a friend and maybe studied for years without exhausting its truths. 62 pages, 34% x6 inches, printed on exceptionally heavy Canterbury laid paper and bound in Ooze Calf with board backs; handsome cover design and title in Sepia Brown: an exquisite gift volume; first American edition.

Corbett in telling of Peter Jackson's first battle in this country; wrote the following: "The blame thrust upon Billy Denaye for compelling Al Kaufman to meet Jack O'Brien, one of the cleverest fighters that ever lived, before he had met any of the others, recalls an experience in my early California days. It was the first fight Peter Jackson ever had in this country. Joe McAuliffe was then doing ring stunts on the coast under the management of Barney Farley. He had just trimmed up Paddy Ryan and was touted as a wonder. Jackson was entitled to the battle with McAuliffe, however, as he had shown his hand against George Godfrey. "When the time came for the two fighters and their managers to meet to settle on terms, McAuliffe and his manager, Farley, objected to Jackson's demands. Peter wanted a loser's end, as he was 11,000 miles away in the world to get back if he had a chance in which there was no loser's purse. "Farley held out, and McAuliffe stuck for winner take all. Finally Jackson was about ready to give up hope of the match when President Fulda, of the old California club, who had listened to the wrangling and the pleading of the honest Negro who didn't want to become a burden to the people in the United States, stepped in and clinched the match for Jackson." "I'll never forget how Jackson told the story afterward and showed the greatest admiration for Fulda. "Jackson agreed to the demands of Farley and the fight was arranged. President Fulda had promised him transportation back home and $100 if he lost the battle. "Jackson went to work training as he never trained before and when the night for the fight arrived he was in the pink of condition. "Well, if ever a fighter got a beating it was McAuliffe on that night. Jackson pounded him into a pulp and every blow duly reached the sensitive part of McAuliffe's makeup, for it he no accompanied by a stinging remark about his take all." "Jackson won in a walk and won many friends by the way he acted when he received the money from the club. The enmity for McAuliffe he showed in the ring was all forgotten, and he took $500 of his winnings and handed it over to Joe, saying that if he had not been there, there would have been no fight, and that hereafter he would do well to take his opponent into consideration." DANDRIDGE VS. SHILOH CHURCH. Findings of the Permanent Council of the Cleveland Baptist Association. The permanent council of the Cleveland Association of Baptist churches represented by delegates from sixteen (16) churches met in executive session at the First Baptist church Cleveland, O. of Jan. 3, 1906, upon the ex parte one of the Rev.

He was kind and considerate to the humblest as well as to the more fortunate of his fellowmen. The funeral was conducted by J. C. Jackson, of Lexington, Ky., who was one of his dearest friends, with which there had been an understanding for more than a year that if he should be called to the "Sweet Bye and Bye" he should superintend his funeral. Quinn chapel was packed to its utmost capacity, and hundreds of people had to remain on the outside, but Mr. Jackson handled the large crowd splendidly, without the least confusion.

Porter, of Cincinnati, O.; Mr. and Mrs. Preston Sherley, of Davant, Ky.; Mrs. Henderson, of Indianapolis; Miss Fletcher of Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. E. Jackson of Nashville, Tenn.; and many others.

CLEARS UP A MUDDLE Bishop Derrick Says Wilberforce Fund Was to be a Surprise—Solicitor Released. Flushing, L. I., N. Y.—Philip A. Hubert, a former minister of the A. M. E. church, who was arrested in Buffalo on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, has been released at the instance of Bishop Derrick and is a guest at the bishop's home here. Hubert was solicited in Buffalo for a scholarship of $50,000 for Wilberforce university when Dr. J. H. Jones, president of that institution, hearing of Hubert's activities, declared that he had never heard of the proposed scholarship. Hubert's arrest followed, and he defended himself by asserting that he began to solicit under authority from Bishop Derrick. The Bishop cleared up the matter by explaining that he had designed the scholarship as a surprise for Wilberforce and had therefore let President Jones know nothing about Olean, N. Y., Items.

Atlanta, Ga.—A few days ago Internal Revenue Collector Rucker said: "I have now five Afro-American deputies and have had more but some of them lost out when the force was reduced by order of the commissioner. The same is true of white men who were once connected with the service, some of them being dropped because no allowance was made for their retention." Rucker, Hon.

The Best Desk Calender. The Pope calendar for many years has been publishing the specially contributed opinions of eminent authorities on the benefits of out-door life.

Women and men who had suffered from a sedentary life came closer to nature, breathed her inspiration and revived. As a result of all this we are today an out-door people, and the coming of the automobile is but a step in a wonderful evolution. Colonel Albert A. Pope, the founder of the manufacture of bicycles (chain, chainless and motor) in the United States and the pioneer in the great movement for better American roads, is today president of the Pope Manufacturing Co., Hartford, Conn., and the Pope Motor Car Co., Toledo and Indianapolis, the former a parent, the latter a sub-company, both members of the company. The automobiles and bicycles manufactured and marketed by these companies are known throughout the civilized world. MAKE MONEY!

Minneapolis, Jan. 11.—Eight persons dead of suffocation or injuries sustained in leaping from a "fireproof" hotel building, a score of persons injured and a building damaged $25,000 by fire, smoke and water, is an epitome of the rapid ravages caused by a disaster which befell the West hotel yesterday, throwing 700 guests and employees into a panic. The dead: Fire Captain John Berwin, fell from the fourth floor to the sidewalk while attempting to save a woman's life. W. G. Nickels, Minneapolis, suffocated in his room on sixth floor. Thomas Summerville, Springfield, Mass., salesman for Atkins & Co., Burnside, Conn., suffocated in his room on the sixth floor. J. E. Wolf, northwestern agent for Sperry & Alexander Co., of New York, suffocated in his room on seventh floor. Clinton B. Lamme, New York, traveling man, suffocated in his room on seventh floor. J. B. Peisinger, New York, traveling man, jumped from the seventh story. Mrs. M. E. Hodges, Minneapolis, jumped from seventh story. William Black, New York, suffocated in room. The fire was confined to the elevator shaft and the two top floors in one corner of the building, but a dense smoke pervaded everywhere and the wild excitement which followed the first alarm hurried people into halls and out on window ledges in a frantic attempt to save themselves. There was so much choking smoke that guests, the moment a door was opened, were compelled to crawl to the windows to avoid suffocation. Many were hurt by breaking windows with hands or feet. Many persons were not dressed when the fire starters were called, and the crowd that gathered saw the high windows at the corner of the hotel occupied by men and women with bleeding hands and feet, are dressed in negligence. Frantic cries of "don't jump" from the spectators prevented most of these persons from leaping to the pavement to escape the smoke that poured from the broken windows. The smoke spread to most all parts of the hotel, causing many persons to lose their breath. The rooms were found suffocated in the rooms after the fire was out. Capt. John Berwin, of a hook and ladder company, having broken open a window on the seventh floor which he had reached by means of a scaling ladder, stumbled onto the body of Mrs. Emeline Barlow, an aged woman. He strapped the unconscious form to his back and started down the ladder. When midway between the seventh and sixth floors the strap broke. Bending over to balance the body for a moment, he leaned, at the risk of his life, and threw the woman toward a projecting ledge on the floor below. Apparently being revived by the fresh air or by the shock, the aged woman grasped the projection and held on. Later she was rescued. But in throwing the woman to safety Berwin lost his balance and fell to the pavement. ANSWERED DEATH'S CALL. President Harper, of Chicago University, Has Passed Away. Chicago, Jan. 11.-William Rainey Harper, LL.D., president of the University of Chicago since its inception in 1891, regarded by many as the foremost Hebrew scholar in America, and equally renowned as an educator and business man, died Wednesday of cancer of the intestines at his home on the university campus. Although his death was known to be inevitable within a comparatively short time, the end of his life, due to physical exhaustion, came suddenly. He was 49 years old. Three years ago Dr. Harper underwent an operation for appendicitis. Cancerous symptoms followed recovery from this operation, and on Feb. 16, his operation was decided on to determine the cause of severe abdominal pains. Dr. McBurney, of New York, came to Chicago expressly for the operation, in which he was assisted by Drs. Billings and Bevan of Chicago. It was discovered that Dr. Harper was suffering from a cancer at the head of the large lestestines, and that the malady had progressed so far that an operation to remove it would be fatal to the patient. The surgeons decided that the only hope of Dr. Harper lay in medical measures. In a short time he left the hospital, knowing that his disease could not be cured and that his death must ensue within a short time. Mrs. Tolia Is Reprieved. Trenton, N.

SOME STAMP NOTES. At a recent London auction sale a 12 pence, 1851 Canada, imperforate on laid paper, realized $200. Of the three provisional stamps recently issued in the Danish West Indies made by overprinting four, five and eight-cent values "5 BIT, 1905," none are now obtainable. A book will soon be issued by the Junior Philatelic society of London, "The Stamps of the United States," treating in a popular style our regular postal issues. Obook is a French possession on the Red sea, and it is reported that its capital city is a village of huts. It is nevertheless civilized enough to have postage stamps as witness 22 different varieties during the years 1892, 1893, 1894. A very efficient committee has been given charge of arrangements for the annual convention of the American Philatelic association to be held in Boston next August. As the leading stamp society in the country a very large attendance will be planned for. The earl of Crawford is adding to his laurels by calling at the islands of Tristan da Cunha in the capacity of mail carrier. One thousand miles west of Cape of Good Hope, isolated as they are, the barely 100 inhabitants of this group of islands will appreciate the favor done them. It looks as if John P. Green, United States postage stamp agent, will be minus a job one of these days, the recent reorganization of the post office department leaving nothing for him to do. When the next appropriation is made there is no salary in it for a stamp agent. That work in future will be under the stamp division. The public is warned against writing anything except the address on the face of pictorial cards intended for parties in the Netherlands. The Dutch postal law provides that in case there is writing on the face of the card the recipient is fined in the sum or six cents, our money. The card with writing on the face is regarded as a letter underpaid and the rule of assessing postage applies. The same rule also applies if the words "Post Card" are not printed on the face. LEARNED OF LITTERATEURS. The manuscript of *Swinburne's First Book of Ballads*" has been sold for $1,000. M. Rostand is said to have declined an offer of $2,000 for a single magazine publication of his new play, "Chanticleer." He believes he can get a larger amount from the play in book form. Now that the late William Sharp turns out to have been "Fiona Macleod," the description of the latter in England's "Who's Who" is rather amusing. It says: "Macleod Miss Macleod author." Then it gives a list of her publications, and adds: "Recreation, sailing hill walks, listening, Address, care Chapman & Hull, London." Emil Zerkowitz, the noted Hungarian author, who has been commissioned as special envoy by his government with the purpose of establishing important commercial relations between that country and this, recently arrived in New York. He has a boy named George Washington Zerkowitz, who was born on February 22, 1903. When Henri Rochefort first published his Lanterne, once a week, his articles were eagerly read all over Europe. To-day his rantings are little heeded even by his followers. One of his admirers has recently done some figuring. For nearly half a century Rochefort has written nearly every day a newspaper article. These articles if reprinted in book form would make a library of at least 300 volumes. Opie Read is very superstitious.

The happy wife of a good old-fashioned Mich. farmer says: "In the spring of 1802 I was taken sick—a general breaking down, as it were. I was excessively nervous, could not sleep well at night, my food seemed to do me no good, and I was so weak I could scarcely walk across the room. "The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confinement and that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months I took one kind of medicine after another, but with no good effect—in fact, I seemed to grow worse. "Then I determined to quit all medicines, give up coffee and see what Grape-Nuts food would do for me. I began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter three times a day. "The effect was surprising! I began to gain flesh and strength forthwith, my nerves quieted down and grew normally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me. In six weeks' time I discharged the hired job and commenced to do my own housework for a family of six. This was two years ago, and I am doing it still, and enjoy it."

Haverstraw, N. Y., Jan. 10.—Seventeen persons are missing and are believed to have gone to their death when 13 houses on Rockland street in Haverstraw toppled over late Monday night into a pit 60 feet deep which had been cut by clay diggers in connection with the brick, making industry here. Twelve of the persons missing were occupants of the fallen houses; five were among the rescuers who went to the aid of neighbors after the first house fell and were carried down when the 12 other houses went crashing over the preciice. The wreckage quickly caught fire and those who were in the mass were either crushed or burned to death. There is grave fear of another cave-in along the same street and the occupants of seven or eight houses have moved away. The landslide which carried away the 13 houses was caused by the falling in of the bank under which the excavators for the brick manufacturers had been working for a number of years. The ground began cracking and showing seams at noon Monday and some of the occupants of houses were taken to the ground and left. Others believed that nothing serious would happen and remained. When the breakage occurred in the long line of land which formed the ragged edge of Rockland street, one house toppled over into the pit with all who were within its walls. The other occupants of the houses prepared to leave their homes in the face of a blinding snow storm. A number of families, their aid and were assisting them in getting out when 12 more houses went down, carrying with them not only the families who occupied them, but also several of those who had gone to their assistance. Overturned stoves set fire to the buildings and firemen cana from miles around, but when the land occurred it broke the water main, thus cutting off the entire supply. A BROKER SUICIDES L. W. Prior, of Cleveland. Kills himself in a Hotel - Starting Developments Follow. Cleveland, Jan. 10—L. W. Prior, junior member of the stock brokerage firm of Denison, Prior & Co., shot and killed himself in a room at the Hollenden hotel Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Prior was 44 years of age, married and had two children. Mr. Prior was formerly president of the Cleveland Stock Exchange. He was also a member of the New York Stock Exchange, having stockbrokered for two years ago, as well as a member of the Chicago Stock Exchange. Mrs. Prior is the daughter of C. F. Emery, the well known street railroad man. Fortunately for all those who have done' business with Prior's house his only partner, Charles E. Denison, happened to be in the city. Mr. Denlon ever since the organization of the firm has lived in Boston and had exclusive charge of the municipal and corporate bond department for the east and has had nothing to do with the management in this city. Mr. Denlon gave out the following statement for publication: "I realize the importance of having the affairs of my firm administered in the best interest of creditors and debtors alike and being wholly unacquainted with the Cleveland branch of the business, closed it and requested a committee consisting of Mr. H. R. Newcomb, Gen. George A. Garrettson, H. P. McIntosh, E. G. Tillotson and John Sherwin to assist in making a complete investigation of the affairs of my firm, and all the above named gentleman have consented to act and with me will in due course of time make a complete report to all persons interested. Creditors and debtors alike may rest assured that during the time this investigation is being made I will permit nothing to be done pertaining to the affairs of the firm except to the affairs of the committee and every effort will be made to protect the rights of all persons as they exist to day. I believe it will be found that large stock transactions were the cause of Mr. Prior's act." It is alleged that Mr. Prior had used the firm's money in playing the stock market.

The eastern farmer who travels through the west for the first time is likely to be astonished upon observing the wastefulness of western methods. It is said that the average European rural family could subsist for an entire year upon the amount which the American farmer wastes in the same time. And the wastefulness of western methods is exemplified in no way more clearly than in the treatment accorded by the agriculturist to his machinery. Many a fence corner, which might be used to better purpose, is the resting place during 11 months of the year for some expensive piece of machinery which is doomed to early dissolution through neglect. No more significant change is taking place in American agriculture than the extent to which different kinds of motive power are taking the place of animals and men. The use of the traction engine and the automobile in the place of the horse on country roads, wind and electric power to operate mowers, threshers, plows, food cutters, corn huskers and dairy machines are the illustrations of epimekaking changes that are now undoing on the modern American farm. On one ranch in California there is $0,000 worth of farm machinery operated by some other power than animals or man. For want of proper information these changes are involving farmers in serious mistakes and large losses. They buy motors not suited to their requirements, or which they do not know how to operate. They buy machinery not adapted to conditions and cause its rapid destruction by not knowing how to care for it. The department of agriculture reports that there is made and sold in this country each year about $100,000,000 worth of farm machinery, fully one-half of which goes into the hands of men who do not know how to select wisely or keep it in proper condition. In order to alter this condition for the better, many agricultural colleges and experiment stations have instituted courses of instruction and have begun systematic experimentation for the purpose of bringing about a general diffusion of intelligence about this feature of farm work.

The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

"I suffered from leucorrhoea and other troubles that, I presume, were caused by the weakness it produced. I had sinking spells, nervous headaches, was weak and clammy, and time and looked like a walking skeleton. "My back and limbs would ache almost continually and there were days when I was absolutely helpless from sick headache. I tried one doctor after another but cannot say that they helped me at all. My liver was sluggish and I was sick. One day a physician who has now retired from practice met my husband on the street and inquired about my health. He advised my husband to get some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for me, said they were a good medicine, better for my trouble than he could put up. I was very sick and was entirely cured. As soon as the leucorrhoea was cured the headaches and other pains stopped. I am entirely well now but intend to continue to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a spring tome.
