THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 35. Spring Styles Most Attractive Notes of Fashions of the Day Though the automobile is with us always, when the ground is covered with snow as well as when grass blows green, just now autos are out in great numbers; and it behooves the autoist to see to a suitable wardrobe. For town and fashion resort one wears clothes of different order from those selected for lengthy tours, and to-day we shall discuss dress for the former occasions. Our illustration shows a fetching motor hat of pleated gray glaze trimmed only with wings. The veil, such a prominent part of the costume of the average motor lady, is gray with black dots. The all enveloping wrap is a gray cloth of heavy material with a collar of glace. For outing wear one sees some very attractive costumes. Whilst volle seems the last thing in the world to choose for rough and ready purposes, it is to be recommended for a walking suit in the city, where there are no nences to be climbed, no stone walls vaulted. It is light in weight and comes in all shades. The following proved a very desirable walking costume, both in regard to comfort and appearance—a short pleated skirt of tan volle relieved by hair lines of green; the jacket a jaunty affair, warm and snug when closed, nice for a warm day when open. From beneath the coat peeped a soft silk blouse of green. The hat was a burnt straw sailor with folded band and high-bowing of plaid ribbon. Sailor hats by the time summer's well here may be worn ad museum, but there is enough variety of styles to give considerable diversity. Those cone-crowned hats when trimmed are really acceptable, and one sees some exceptionally smart ones. The other day I passed the window of a small exclusive shop whose products almost always bear the unmistakable stamp of style, and thought beholders the next 24 hours would be apt to see through rose-colored glasses. Every hat on display was of some shade of old-rose, in most cases toned down with black. One of the cone-crowned sort had a black plume bandeau, and a short black plume that made a low arch on one side. Quite a number of chic hats have their trimming to the right, a decided change from established rules. The bird of paradise is even more in vogue than in the winter, and on a smallish black hat very effective. In Paris doctors disagree, the best gown builders not in harmony as regards modes, some hold to the sheath- Now the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest, now vain woman does likewise. Color, color every where, everything gay and festive the somber and sober, kept out of sight. Such flower gardens as riot on the hats, such light dresses everybody seems having a holiday. There are the bluest, blues, the greenest greens, the rostest reds—no one color monopolizing the field. On the warmest days abbreviated coatees of fanciful sort have part in the afternoon promenade, but for A SMART MOTOR HAT. mornings of the average day many well-fitting long coats are seen. We have chosen for our illustration this week a practical costume of the morning order, a rough brown and blue check; touches of brown, you remember, we made assertion some time ago, was to be very smart this season. The collar, buttons and belt of the brown and blue frock are of dark brown velvet, the hat is one of those summer felts that come in very well on the cool days, and has for trimming a long osprey feather and scarf of blue silk. This would make a very suitable costume for traveling, especially good if the travel was by water. Coats of all lengths are worn; short ones, to be sure, in the lead. But the long redingote is still in good style, the longish box coat a novelty that has found favor, fancy boleros very much the thing. For automobile cloaks rajal silk, of a good substantial sort, is well liked; it sheds the dust easily, comes in attractive shades and in those that stand exposure to the sun. Colored silk lingerie waists are a noveity that appeal to many, and may be had in the usual suit shades. The lingerie waist differs little from that of last year, save that the back is now trimmed. Striped shirtdings in tailored styles have returned to favor, and are a great comfort. The plain waist for mornings has always had a few adherents, and now will have many since it bears the stamp of fashion. Wash neckwear is in highest favor, and the Windsor tie will be worn a known to man. In Union There is Strength. like fit, others are for empire modes and soft fall of draperies. Which makes things rather comforting for her of slender purse; she need not attempt the one new fashion since no one fashion obtains. The Parisians have found a charming combination in light apple-green and autumn brown, the green of the palest tint. A beautiful costume designed for Casino wear, was fashioned of apple-green crepe de chine A PRACTICAL DRESS. with waistcoat of golden-brown panne. Cream lace in chemisette and frills for the short sleeves added to the color scheme, as did the green hat unrelieved by any touch of color. The green hat we have had with us these three years past, but it is as attractive as when first making appearance. On St. Patrick's day one of the shops had a window verdant with hats the color sacred to the good saint, and not one but was charming. An especially attractive moss-green model was trimmed with nothing except a great bunch of pale blue forget-me-nots, and one thought how refreshing this would be on a satyrd day. great deal, coming in the brightest colors and in both pongee and tussore silk. Simple little lawn turn-over collars are in excellent style so dainty and fine, and one may have a number of them at small outlay. Vells of two sorts are seen; the small face veil which ends just at the tip of the nose, and the billowing cloud which makes of the wearer a mysterious velled lady. The princess with double skirt effect is the latest in princess robes, but should not be affected by any but the very tall. The underskirt is long at the back, lies on the floor several inches. A princess combined with empire lines was recently displayed in New York, a gown originating across the water. It had a modified corselet skirt, so high at the back as to almost reach the line of the empire short waist; then at the front it was cut down well below the bust. The skirt was of pink silk, the waist of net, the net forming a fluffy blouse and pretty puffed sleeves, the puff terminating above the elbow in a wide band of lace. Pink velvet straps, passed over the shoulders; the stock and chemisette were of lace. This costume would be very effective worn with coral jewelry of the pale shade, that pure pink which has no yellow in it. ELLEN OSMONDE FIGHTS POLICE IN MIDAIR. Demented Sailor Struggles with Officers on Flagpole of High Building in Cleveland. Cleveland, O.—After rescuing a demented sailor from a wind-blown flagpole, three policemen had a hard fight with the man on the roof of a 16-story building before subduing him. The sailor was from the battleship Iowa, and recently had been confined in the Boston insane asylum. The man had slipped to the roof of the Williamson building unobserved and had begun to climb the flagpole when a flutter of blue caught the eye of Sergeant of Police Hannan. Summoning two policemen, Hannan hurried to the roof. Up climbed the man, and the wind twisted him about the pole, and seemed about to hurl him into the street 225 feet below. Finally the policemen pulled him down by a halyard that had become twisted about his leg, and then the struggle for the mastery started. The man fought fiercely until beaten into submission. Thinking he was a deserter from the navy the officers took him to the recruiting station, where it was learned his name is J. Cline, and that he recently had been confined as insane. Uncalled-For Mutton Hanging to a rafter in a shop at Bourne, Lincolnshire, England, is a leg of mutton 50 years old. It was bought from the present occupier's predecessor by a gentleman who said he would call for it later on. He never did so, and there it hangs today. It has so withered that it resembles a shillalah. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1906.

JAMES MONROE GREGORY. Another of His Talented Sons a College Prize Winner—Former Cleveland. Eastampton, Mass.—Thomas M. Gregory, youngest son of Principal James M.

This is the fourth successive time that young Gregory has been on the winning side in these annual public debates at Williston. The representatives of his society argued on the negative of the question, "Resolved, That the United States Government Should Own and Control the Interstate Railroads." His father, Prof. James Monroe Gregory, was for many years a member of the faculty of Howard university, Washington, D. C., and is a native of Cleveland, D., where he is well remembered and known among the older Afro-American residents. IN ITS TRUE LIGHT. The State of Virginia is Shown by its Miserable Assembly. Richmond, Va.—The general assembly of Virginia has completed its labors and made itself notorious by the passage of a general "Jim Crow" street car law. The pen with the governor signed the bill was presented to a briefess lawyer of Newport News, who wishes to keep it as a souvenir of his great legislative achievement. The measure for the establishment of a school for Afro-American deaf, dumb and blind children, which passed the house last week, struck in the senate. The senate reduced the appropriation from $15,000 to $5,000, which is barely sufficient to purchase a site. This means that there can be no school of this kind for Afro-Americans under four years, as there will be no meeting of the legislature till 1908, and then a fight will have to be made for another appropriation. The annuity to the Virginia normal and industrial institute, the only state institution for the education of Afro-American pupils, was increased from $15,000 to $17,500, although it was asked to increase the amount to $20,000, $29,500 was asked for necessities, but was denied while each of the sex white institutions received for improvements an increase in annuities from $15,000 to $20,000. Say what you may that which Virginia votes for the education of her colored population is given not only sparingly but grudgingly. Y. M. C. A. COLOR LINE. Our Branch May Dissolve Because Central Withholds Some Privileges. New Haven, Conn.-The Y. M. C. A. of Goffe street, which is a branch of the Central Y. M. C. A. (white) is on the eve of dissolution. This is due to the fact that some privileges are denied the members of the Goffe street branch at the central association. Because of this palpable unchristian act the secretary of the Goffe street branch is now conferring with the board of directors of the central association in order to reach a satisfactory solution of the question involved. In case the Goffe street branch should fail to obtain an amicable adjustment of the matter they will undoubtedly withdraw from the central association, and revert to the old standard of an independent mixed association. SCORES BIOT CASE JURY. Police Judge Says Action in Recommending Mercy to Rioters in Springfield is an Outrage. Springfield, O.—Police Judge Miller Tuesday fined the youthful rioters $1 and costs each and then remitted the same. Before fining the boys he said: "This matter is an outrage. I can do nothing but inflict the nominal fine of $1, as recommended by the jury. This jury was made up of leading business men and manufacturers and their recommendation is an outrage." Attorney W. H. H. Hart Bankrupt. Washington, D. C.—Attorney Wm. H. H. Hart went into voluntary bankruptcy recently. For a long time he has been carrying a great burden in his farm school imposed upon him by the government of the United States. He has sought relief at the halls of congress for several years, but has been unable to get it, and has had to take the course of nearly all those who have engaged in the great cause of humanity. It is yet hoped that congress will grant relief, but the outlook is dark. 2 THE GAZETTE.

Cleveland, Saturday, March 31, 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. Why is it Wheeler Kimbro's brothers here in Cleveland do not help him? See Fremont letter in this paper. Great! is the "Old Dominion"—the state of Virginia. Read our Richmond letter elsewhere in this paper. We are sorry for Gov. Pattison and his family. Such illness is a terrible thing. So very much suffering for all concerned. The latest Springfield riot is fully explained in the short letter from that place to be found elsewhere in this paper. Springfield's "best" citizens have at last "shown their hands." The Atlanta News ought to be more fearful of assaults on Afro-American girls and women by white brutes than of such criminal efforts toward white women by "black brutes" in the south because the proportion against the white man of that section and in favor of the Afro-American is easy one hundred to one. Nothing can justify mob violence, lynching in the minds of sane, intelligent people. Joe Gans "has gone and done it again"—whipped another prize fighter (white) another Sullivan too. No wonder Jimmie Britt, the "has been," does not "want" him, and Battling Nelson's wise manager side-steps any proposition from Joe, frankly stating the reason for so doing. It's really too bad Walcott's bad hand puts him out of the game because we need all the glory, even fight glory, we can get these days. The "passing" of Jackson and Dixon lef. a bad taste in many Afro-America's mouths which Gans is doing much to remove More power to him. He certainly seems to be the "greatest" in his two or three classes. The Xenia Standard of Feb. 10 sald, and northeast too; "The $5,000 damage suit against Clark county, Ohio, for the lynching of Richard Dixon two years ago, was compromised one day last week by the county paying his lawyers $125 Dixon's heirs were represented by Sully Jaymes and H. M. Jones, colored attorneys. Why the case was not pushed when the $5,000 was in sight, is a mystery that gives the settlement a very bad coloring." Editor Summers is right in his comment and we more than agree with him. Up to date we have been unable to learn the motif of that shameful "settlement" but we will ere long, even if we have to go all the way to Springfield to do so. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Baltimore Afro-American says the local manager there of the Associated Press admits that the policy of that organization "is to say nothing good for the Negro." Bb this as it may, one thing is and has for years been painfully apparent and that is that the Associated Press liars get mighty busy whenever our people are concerned and always with an eyesingle to publishing all things relative to us in a way most pleasing to the south and of course as a rule equally as hurtful to the Afro-American. That it told the truth about that Louisiana lynching, the result of an Afro-American's butchering a cow which another man (white) claimed to own, is a matter of surprise because it is so unusual. The "heinous crime" charge is as a rule given to justify mob violence of all kinds where our people suffer, by the Ass Press' liars most of whom are in the south. Justice of the Peace Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D. C., in a burst of enthusiastic speech, recently said: "There is no such name as Afro-American in history." Of course not—in ancient history, dear friend, because the word is of too recent coinage. It has not been many years since Everett J. Waring, Esq., of Columbus, Ohio, now of Baltimore or Philadelphia gave the splendid product to our people and the world But it—the word, Afro-American—is in the history of today and it will be in the history of the future. Indeed it is being put there and rightly too, thank the Lord, while we discuss it. We are glad of it, if for no other reason than that the hyphened word is capitalized. For one, for years we have been mighty tired of seeing the scum, as well as others, of every other class, race or nationality on the face of the globe, referred to in the daily papers and elsewhere by words recognized generally as proper nouns and therefore capi- tallized, while the word Negro is rarely ever so spelled outside of some race newspapers and a few, very few, leading daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and fewer books and other publications. Justice Terrell prefaced his remark with the "playing-to-the-gallery" exclamation: "I am a Negro and proud of it!" Why, of course, Robert, so are we. And we are equally as proud of being also an Afro-American. The fact is Squire Terrell in the language of "Uncle" Joe Cannon, speaker of the national house of representatives, is a "durn sight" more Afro-American than Negro when critically considered from a certain viewpoint. But that is another story. Of course we are all proud of being Negroes, Afro-Americans, "Colored" people, etc. Some good bids fair to result from that recent Chattanooga, Tennessee, lynching. The mob took an Afro-American who had been sentenced to hang but for whom the United States court had granted a stay of execution. This is what gives the administration, headed by our brave President Roosevelt, authority and an opportunity to act. Government secret service officers are "rounding up" members of the mob, especially its leaders says an apparently inspired dispatch from Washington, D. C., and we hope it is true. Congress refuses to even seriously consider an antllynching law for the country, with the result that federal action against the mob werever possible rests with the executive and judicial branches of the government. We shall watch this Chattanooga' case with much interest and concern because the outcome, if as indicated in the dispatches referred to, will mean much in favor of law and order and our people. AS OTHERS SEE US. If we could see ourselves in the same light that others view us, the mere seeing might have the effect to change our opinions of ourselves and at the same time to entertain a more kindly view of others. Instead of harboring vain and supercilious notions of our self-superiority and our immense individual importance, we might discover our very littleness and our absolute insignificance compared with the intrinsic, personal merits of those who live in realms of purer thought and action, and upon a more exiled plane. The person who fancies himself a paragon of perfection while he finds no redeeming qualities in his morose, quiet and unpretentious neighbor is not only unfortunate, but is to be pitted. There are just such people in every circle of society, who conceive themselves the best types in excellence and common sense and are so wrapt up in dogmatism and conceit, that common sense and reasoning to them would be a matter of nonsense. Indeed there are such people in the world who are learned in books and languages, who possess a superior talent, yet are woefully ignorant in regard to those courtesies and concessions that are due to the humblemist. Then again, there is the illiterate class, well-blanched and well informed whose general knowledge and intellectual grasp cannot fully comprehend the magnitude and scope of great questions, yet to seem to be wise and learned, are ready at every instance to depreciate superior wisdom as a means of exalting themselves in the estimation of others. Upon a venture they assume an air of knowing what they do not know and cannot substantiate, and consequently through envy and desperation offer themselves as maligners, in the attempt to subordinate learning to presumption. Seeking every opportunity and advantage to seem to be wise, they resort to intrigue and vituperation, imposing contempt where honor is due. Then there is a highly failed class learned in the classics and the sciences, who believe themselves the peers of any and the inferiores of none, who are imperious and arrogant, too ready to assume even against stubborn facts, because of a lack of breadth and knowledge of human nature, and oftimes misjudge those who are better informed than themselves. Then there are those who discriminate on account of race and color, who are eternally parading the mistakes and imperfections of others, while they are landatory and boastful of themselves. They make it a matter of business to assail the innocent and weak, and publish to the world every possible blemish of the Afro-American without scruple or consciousness that all things human are frail and imperfect. But could we see ourselves as others see us and could we unvail to the world the littleness and meanness of our own hearts, or solve the motive and impulse of our degenerate and sinful hearts, we would no doubt discover thousands of living mortals among men and races, who are far better than ourselves, and in seeing ourselves as others see us we might shrink abash in shame and humiliation of the new revelation that is made to ourselves and to mankind. What is a Hypocrite? Rev. Mr. Doan in his answer the other evening at one of the mission services to the question, "What is a Hypocrite?" said: "A hypocrite is a two-faced individual, and there are two kinds in the world, one in the church and one outside the church. There is some hope for the one on the inside because he is learning the truth and having it hammered into him, and the chances for him unmasking are hopeful. But the hypocrite on the outside is hopeless. He finds fault with the occasional hypocrite inside the church, and forgets that he is in a two-faced, and the his condition is far worse than the other. He throws stones but still lives in a "glass house," he pretends to be too good to associate with Christians when beneath all his pretended goodness is lurking some secret sin, or some unexpressed unbelief, and its hard to unmask him.—Port Clinton (O.)

I will not cease hoping To kneel at the Throne; But on through the darkness Of trouble and care I go daily praying To find comfort there. I will not cease tolling As days come and go, I will not cease trying To conquer the foe. Till my frail body weakens And sinks to the sod And my soul is uplifted To anchor with God. —LOUISE ALSTON BURLEIGH, in the Colored American Magazine. Editor Timothy Thomas Fortune I was riding horseback far in the country (in Alabama) a few days ago when I came across an unusually poor place. A very old and poor black man was standing before the house. I stopped in front of him and asked; "Who live you uncle?" "No sah; I does not." "I zist 'ere, sah." "How is that?" I asked. that I asseh. "Et it jes' dis way, sah; dis 'ere land is dat poor dat a pusson cain' mek er libin' out 'n it; de mos' hen do is ter 'zlist on et." "Why don't you move, then?" "It's too poor ter mobe, sah; an' ef I staht tero do dat, sah, we're I gwine" And the old man, who had been overtaken in his old age with his hands empty, perhaps by no fault of his, looked far away towards the lowering clouds that kissed the misty hillpits, beyond which he would possibly soon find home and rest from hunger and longeing. MAKE MONEY! The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Springfield, Zanesville, East Liverpool, Wellsville, Urbana, Akron, Ravenna, Oberlin,铅川, Gallipolis, Cambridge, Delaware, Lima, Portsmouth, Chillicothe, Circleville, Kenton, Hamilton and Toledo, O.; Pittsburg, Allegheny, Sewickley, Sharon and New Castle, Pa.; Wheeling and Parkersburg, W. Va., and other places where we have none. We are also of the Gazette Blackstone building, Cleveland, O, and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. WHEN GOING TO PITTSBURG I should say, select the R. R. that has the greatest number of fast trains, has the shortest line from Cleveland and the road that has trains every day, not daily except Sunday, and the road that uses safety block signals, has double track all the way, that charges only 50c for a parlor car seat, that runs a cafe club car, in which you only pay for what you order. If I took a sleeping car I would not wish to pay more than $1.50 for a double berth, with no change of cars, and let pass through Youngstown and the bluff of the Ohio River to Beaver and Ohio Rivers into Pittsburgh City. Then it's the Erie R. R. that I select, for it gives me the above and even more, with seven trains every day. They sell tickets at No. 9 Enclave avenue, in the city of Cleveland. "Abvssinia." Washington, D. C.-Mr. Will Marion Cook has made arrangements with Mr. Malvin B. Raymon to present the two great comedians, Williams and Walker, in the great show, "Abyssina," in three performances and one matinee, April 30, to May 2, at convention hall, this city. This has been one of Mr. Cook's main aims in life—to produce one of his masterpieces in his native town. To bring Williams and Walker to Washington is a very costly proposition, as they are carrying two car loads of scenery and 150 people, which is actually larger than "Ben Hur" carried, but Mr. Cook tells us that it will be the greatest production ever shown south of Mason and Dixon's line. This is the biggest Negro show ever put together. Olean, N. Y., Topics Mr. Henry Brooks, sr. and jr., have returned from Spokane, Wash—Mr. Homer Peterson entertained Wednesday evening.

Beyond the years the answer lies, Beyond whose brood the grieving skies Where faith rod-chastened smiles to rise And doff its fears, And carping sorrow pines and dies—Beyond the years. Beyond the years the prayer for rest Shall beat no more within the breast; The darkness clears, And morn perched on the mountain's crest Her form uprears— The day that is to come is best, Beyond the years. Beyond the years the soul shall find That endless peace for which it pined, For light appears, And to the eyes that still were blind With blood and tears. Their sight shall come all unconfined Beyond the years. PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR. Kimbro Sentenced. Fremont, O.—Wheeler Kimbro was sentenced to three years in the Ohio penitentiary for shooting with intent to kill Rudolph Gommol during the Clausstrike in 1903.

He has brothers in Cleveland who ought to help him get a new trial or carry his case to a higher court, thus saving Martin.

Horrible Find in a Minneapolis House. No Clew as to the Cause of the Deed—Other Occupants of House Have Disappeared. Minneapolis, Minn.—Six murdered Bulgarian laborers were found Wednesday in an old house in this city, and the police are uncertain how or when the murders were committed, although the evidence thus far secured indicates that the men were killed during a fight among 12 Bulgarians who had rented the house. The seizing have disappeared. The police are convinced that robbery was not the cause of all the murders, as considerable money was found on the bodies. They also scout the idea of any secret society with motives of revenge. Four of the bodies, horribly cut and slashed with knives, were found in a room on the second floor, while in the cellar were two others with their throats cut. Near the bodies were found five large bowie knives and a hatchet. The two bodies in the basement, according to Coroner Kistler, had been dead nearly two days. The bodies in the upper rooms appeared to have been killed more recently. The police say that the men found in the basement may have been murdered for their money and that a fight followed upstairs over a division of the spoils. The bodies found upstairs were slashed all over, especially about the faces and the throats. One man had been shot at the hot stove and the right side of his face was burned off. Near the bodies found upstairs were two money belts containing $506 in gold. On one of the bodies was found a watch that was still going. Some of the bodies had been stripped. FIRST ARREST. Grand Larceny Charge Against George W. Perkins, former Vice President of New York Life, in Campaign Contribution Case. New York.—On a charge that his connection with the contribution of $4,702.50 from the funds of the New York Life Insurance Co to Cornellus N. Bliss, treasurer of the republican national committee in the campaign of 1904, constituted grand larceny in the first degree, George W. Perkins, a member of the firm. P. Morgan & Co, and until recently first vice president of the New York Life Insurance Co., was arrested Wednesday on a warrant issued by Magistrate Moss. When a detective went to serve the warrant upon Mr. Perkins he found that a writ of habeas corpus had already been obtained from Justice Greenbaum, of the state supreme court, and the matter was immediately taken out of the magistrate's hands. Mr. Perkins appeared before Justice Greenbaum and at the request of his counsel the hearing in the case was adjourned until Friday. Mr. Perkins was paroled in the custody of his attorney. Mr. Perkins' counsel admitted to Justice Greenbaum that Mr. Perkins had advanced the sum named to Mr. Bliss upon the request of the late John A. McCall, president of the New York Life. He was an award reimbursed upon the action of the company's finance committee. It was contended that Mr. McCall had executive authority to order the payment, and that if any crime was committed it was participated in by every member of the finance committee present when the matter was acted upon. Congressional. Washington.-Mr. Knox, of Pennsylvania, addressed the senate on the railroad rate question on the 28th. He expressed the opinion that Mr. Bailey's amendment depriving the United States circuit courts of the power to grant injunctions would not stand the test of the courts. The remainder of the day was devoted to the bill regulating the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians. The house passed a rule prohibiting limitless points of order in discussion of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. Some progress was made on the bill. Dam Washed Away Casper, Wyo.-The great dam at Alcova, erected at a cost of $100,000 by the government reclamation service, was washed away Tuesday by flood water in the North Plate river.

The oriental monarch amused himself by giving a hungry guest a phantom banquet. Squire Hamilton, says the Boston Herald, one of the best-known members of the Maine legal profession many years ago, once sat at a meagerly laden board, and in this case the starving guest was the humorist. The dining-room had been newly and splendidly furnished, whereas the dinner was very slender. While some of the guests were flattering the host on his taste in decoration, Squire Hamilton said: "For my part, I would rather see less gliding and more carving." She Sees to It. "I often wonder what makes you so thoughtful of your wife?" "You wouldn't wonder if you knew my wife better." - Houston Post.

Mr. Joseph Robinson, of 62 Wilson place, has purchased a fine team of horses and has gone into the teaming business as a side issue. It is currently rumored that Miss Lora Mayo, formerly of this city, was 'recently married in Akron where the family have lived for a year or more. The Haydn Musical club, which promises to become quite a thriving organization, met at Miss Daisy Underwood's, 35 Harper street, Wednesday evening. Mrs. Fannie Benson, who is ill in St. Paul with her daughter, Mrs. Ida Leatad, remains about the same, improvement slight. Mr. James Benson is not well. The Odd Fellows and Households of Ruth's annual sermon will be preached in May. Mr. John Thomas, chairman, and Mr. Smith, secretary of the committee. Congratulations are in order for "Grandpa" George Carroll and "Uncle" Will. Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Carroll, of Columbus, received an eight-pound boy last Saturday. A fur boa and a pocketbook containing money was found last week at the White recital. The owners of the same can get them by applying to Mr. Henry Taylor, manager of the affair. D. C. Fisher and Rev. A. E. Simmons of Lorain were callers at The Gazette office last week. Also Dr. W. A. Jackson, of Covington, Ky. they dined with the editor of The Gazette. Our patrons will please notice the change in the address of Mr. David Rosenzwelg, the tailor, who recently removed his establishment to 702 Central avenue, two doors west of Hackman street. Mr W. A. Jackson, P. E., of the C. M. E. church, preached exceptionally able sermons Sunday at Lane Memorial church, Rev. W. M. McElroy, pastor. There was a large attendance all day. Sunday's Plain Dealer had a San Francisco communication that was not satisfied with the use of the mongrel term "darkey" but unearthed another—"dinge." How do you like it? Stop taking papers that so insult you and the race. Miss Flora Batson, prima donna soprano, and Mr. Gerard Miller, the basso profundo, rendered beautiful selections at St. Andrew's church Sunday. Their concert at Woodliff Hall Thursday evening for the True Reformers was a musical treat. Miss Ella Seldon, of Cleveland, O., who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. S. James, of Dearborn street, this winter, left for home last Tuesday. Miss Seldon is one of Cleveland's talented young ladies, being a pianist of marked ability—Chicago Leader, March 24. So many persons can give testimony to the splendid 15 cent business lunch served by W. T. Coleman from 12 to 2 p. m. dally upstairs over the Z club and his 25 cent dinner from 5 to 8 p. m. that it is not necessary for us to say more at this time. Have you tried them? The best ever. Harvey Jackson, who spent his boyhood days here, now a letter carrier in Detroit, will marry in June. His mother lives with him. His sister, Miss Cora, a graduate of the University of Chicago, also well known here among our older residents, is a teacher in our high school at Baltimore. The Clarence White recital last week Thursday evening was as anticipated in a musical treat. There has been much dissatisfaction, however, as result of the apparent deception of the management in securing the dining hall on the third floor of the building instead of Gray's Armory as advertised. About 200 people were in attendance, a number coming from THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 31. 1906. nearby cities and towns. The Olympia quartette were each presented with a beautiful bouquet. Instead of an orchestra for the ball as advertised, there were only four musicians. The concert participants all acquitted themselves most creditably indeed. Class No. 6 of St. John's church returned the compliment of class No. 12 last week Friday evening, entertaining the latter at Mrs. Carrie Scott's, Chadwick street. Thirty-six were present. Also the teachers of the two classes, Mr. Carroll Scott and Mrs. J. M. Gilmere. A very enjoyable time was had and an excellent lunch served by class No. 6. Mrs. George W. Fields, of 71 Norman street, celebrated her birthday with a luncheon Sunday. Covers were laid for Misses Louise Snyder, Bertha Blue, Mr. Wm. Franklin and Mr. Andrew Edwards. Mr. Edwards returned last week from Chicago where he has been taking a course in piano tuning. He is still in the employ of the Hart Piano Co. Again we call attention to the fact that one of our best friends (white) in the city has opened a cafe on Sheriff street, in the rear of the Opera House. We ought to go in to see and patronize him. Afro-Americans of Cleveland, many of whom know Frank C. Base, cannot afford to neglect him. He is of the "salt of the earth" when it comes to friendship for our people. The Ladies' Benevolent club met at Mrs. Slater's on Thursday afternoon, March 15. The meeting was very successful. Lunch was served by the hostess. The club adjourned to meet with its president, Mrs. J. M. Gilmere, No. 75 Plymouth street, on Thursday afternoon, April 5. A musical and social will be given by the organization on Easter Monday evening, April 16. Additional notice later. Misses Blanche and Ruby Johnson, 128 Brooker avenue, entertained Friday evening in honor of Mr. Alexander Turner and Edward Gray and sister, Lillie, of Ravenna. Others from that city here last week were: Mrs. Jessie Proctor and Miss Daisy Johnson who stopped with Mrs. Freeman, of 70 Brooker avenue, and Miss Gertrude Goins, of Massillon, guest of Mrs. Wm. Scott, of Giddings avenue. St. Andrew's mission, Sunday; Holy communion at 10:30 a.m., m. choral services and sermon at 3 p. m. and Sunday-school at 12 o'clock, noon. Special mission services will be held each night beginning Monday at 7:30 p. m. Rectors in charge: Monday, Dr. Rev. Avery, of St. Paul's church, East Cleveland; Tuesday, Arch- deacon Abbott; Wednesday, Rev. E. W. Worthington, of Grace church; Chursday, Rev. Mr. Awood; Friday, Rev. Mr. Awood, recital of Andrew's. Good preaching and good music. The public is invited. St. Andrew's largest confirmation class will meet Bishop Leonard at the church Wednesday, April 11. This speaks volumes for the energetic and able young rector, who arrived but a few weeks ago, March 1. The Clarence Cameron White recital in the banquet hall, Grays' armory, last week Thursday night was unquestionably one of the grandest affairs ever given in the city. A very large and appreciative audience greeted Mr. White. They fairly bubbled over with enthusiasm, and it was the opinion of all present that he stands pre-eminently at the head as an Afro-American violinist. The Olympia quartette, composed of Miss Dazalia Underwood, Mrs. Anna Smith, Mrs. Geneva Minter and Mrs. Florence Dunjill Fester, sang beautifully. They were recently organized. All have splendid voices, two of them having taken vocal instructions from Mr. Harry A. Williams, the marvelous tenor, who accompanied Mr. White in his usual artistic manner. The playing of Mrs. C. M. Payton elicited great applause. After the concert the terpsicorean art was indulged in until 2 a.m. Everyone left at that hour highly pleased. The reception Monday evening at Cory chapel tendered Rev. R. L. Dickerson, pastor, who left the next day for conference, proved not only an enjoyable affair, but in at least one respectable exception. In spite of the inclementity of the weather the church auditorium was comfortably filled. The orchestra and choir, under the direction of Chorister Thomas, rendered about a half dozen selections very satisfactorily indeed. Miss Ball played a piano solo most acceptably. She has a very promising future. A Mrs. Smith then read a very pleasing selection. The treat of the evening, however, was Mrs. Joseph Seeligs' solo, "Fabri's Bird Song," by Gumbert. She was in splendid voice and rendered the beautiful selection with a deliberateness indicative of thorough confidence and splendid ability. It so thoroughly pleased the audience as to secure for her the most pronounced encore of the evening. She responded with "Sing Me To Sleep," by Greene, the rendition of which but added to her praise, on the lips of everyone at the close of the reception. The speakers of the reception included Rev. A. Collins, E. Dandridge, J. S. Jackson and W. M. McElroy, Messrs. Henry T. Eubanks, Nahum Brascher and the editor of The Gazette. To the remarks of the speakers fallicitating him upon his successful three years' pastorate of Cory chapel, Rev. R. L. Dickerson responded in his usual suave manner, thanking his congregation and many friends and indicating thorough appreciation of the many good things said about him and his work which he has left in so splendid a condition. Supper was served in the basement of the church. The exceptional feature referred to above was the enthusiasm of the audience during and at the close of the practical talk given by Hon. Harry C. Smith and the "sideswipe" given the social settlement house idea being urged upon the local Chamber of Commerce by Chas. W. Chesnutt, esq. We shall have more to say of this later on. Baptists Very "Sore." Louisville, Ky.—The Baptists are irritated over the compromise of Dr. E. C. Morris, president of our national Baptist convention, in consenting to have only 35 or 40 Afro-American delegates to the national Baptist convention (white) which convenes here in May. It is further reported that Dr. Morris suggested that the Afro-Americanists be restricted to certain sections of the church. George Barney and George Isock were burned to death near Scranton, Pa., while fighting a fire at the Dodge colliery. 166 Brownell St. J. C. BROWN and JOHN CROCKETT, Mixologists. Bell, North 237.

Scott, meat dealer, Vergennes, Vt., Past Commander of Ethan Allen Post, G. A. R., says: "A severe attack of typhoid left me with weak kidneys. Every night I had to get up frequently to pass the urine, which was ropy, dark and very painful to void. I had to apply dextran water continually without being able to quench my thirst. of typhoid left me with weak kidneys. Every night I had to get up frequently to pass the urine, which was ropy, dark and very painful to void. I had no appetite, but drank water continually without being able to quench my thirst. Terrible headaches and dizzy spells oppressed me and my back was lame, sore and stiff.

THELEGALITY Of Contributions by Insurance Companies to CAMPAIGN FUNDS To Be Tested by District Attorney Jerome—May Involve Members of National Committee. New York.—District Attorney Jerome appeared before Magistrate Moss in the Tombs police court Tuesday and applied for warrants to be used in testing the legality of the contribution of insurance companies' funds to political campaign committees. The name of no person was mentioned at the time. After listening to Mr. Jerome, Magistrate Moss said that before he would issue any warrants in the matter, evidence would have to be presented that a crime had been committed. To establish this evidence Mr. Jerome asked for the issuance of a number of subpenas in blank to be used in "John Doe" proceedings before the magistrate. Late in the day these subpenas were issued. In taking this action Mr. Jerome is carrying out the policy he announced last Friday in the court of special sessions last Friday when he defended the opinion he had previously rendered that there had been no crime committed in connection with the campaign contributions. Mr. Jerome also suggested at that time that if contributing to campaign committees by officers of the insurance companies constituted larceny, the matter involved chairman George B. Cortelou and Treasurer Cornelius B. Cornelius and Republican national campaign committee, in matter of receiving stolen goods. REBATE CASE First to Come to Trial in Pennsylvania Under the Elkins Law.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—In the face of denials by government officials it was learned Tuesday from an authoritative source that warrants have been issued for four other persons in connection with the bank of the Entebbe national bank, last October. These are in addition to the six persons now under arrest, five of whom were arrested Monday and the sixth, ex-Paying Teller Thomas W. Harvey, who surrendered himself Tuesday. The federal officials declare that the arrests made conclude the criminal proceedings for the present, but it was learned from another source that the officials will not admit the existence of the other four warrants until they have been served. The examination of the affairs of the bank has by no means been concluded and further investigation may result in more arrests. Assistant United States Attorney Robert M. Gibson said the transactions disclosed by the investigation so far made involve close to $1,000,000. Congressional.

Partitions divide it into 100 compartments, each accommodating two trays. The trays have wire bottoms, and hold 75 eggs each.

The incubator will do the work of 1,000 fowls. STOP, WOMAN!

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA Brushed Scales from Face Like Powder—Under Physicians Grew Worse —Cuticura Works Wonders. "I suffered with eczema six months. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so that I hardly put my foot on without touching eczema. My face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it. My face was a very good thing but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. I tried to be a markable cure. I feel so thankful I want everybody hard and wise to know that Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Canden, N. J., April 19, 1957.

Philadelphia, GET RID OF THE CAS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Strengthen the stomach and Enable It to Do Its Work. When the stomach is feeble the food lies in it indigested, decays and throws off poisonous gases that distend the wails of the stomach and cause interference with other organs, especially with the action of the heart and lungs. These gases have other ill effects. The nerves and the brain are disturbed and discomforts such as dizziness, hot flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and despondency originate from this source. Experience shows that these tremors vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to distend the food. In other words, its powerful tonic that will rouse it to do the work of changing the environment. Miss Minerra C. Ladd, of Ipswich, Mass, says: "I had a weak stomach from the time I was a little child. Whenever I took heavy food it would cause terrible faintness, and I would finally vomit what I ate. At times the food would be the most intense through the upper part of my body. For days in succession, I would have to lie down most of the time. The distress was often so great that I could hardly bear it, and the frequent and violent belching spells were very disagreeable, too. "My doctor's medicines gave me little relief, but not until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I found a cure. Within three weeks a decided improvement was noticeable. The belching spells were less frequent, the pains through my body were not so intense, my food was retained and after taking the pills for a few weeks longer I found that it was altogether free from the pains.
