THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 36. Vanities at the Spring Openings THE HAT. Fashions for Children It is hard for a mere woman not to fall into temptation when she goes to the great "openings" with which wily shop, merchant and milliner lure her in the days when everything she has worn during the past season begins to look hopelessly shabby. All the vanities of the feminine world are spread out before her; she finds such a lot of things just exactly her style, just to her taste-alas not to her purse. But just when she is beginning to wish she had not come at all, she lights upon what appeals and yet is not out of all reason as to price; for to-day the greatest variety is offered, and if one but be patient and spend time one can get a very good warm-weather outfit without great expenditure. For instance, there are really good lingerie waists to be had at reasonable prices, and ready-to-wear hats in very good style. Yesterday as we strolled through the aisles of a store whose reputation is world-wide, we saw gowns whose cost soared pretty high and also the most fetching bargains in the way of shirt-waists and pretty hats. And stuffs on display ranged all the way from a dotted Swiss at $2.50 a yard to a thin white goods at 15 cents, and in the latter we realized there were wonderful possibilities—fine tucking, a bit of cream insertion with frills of white lace, a modish pattern used in the cut, and a lingerie blouse evolved equal to the one in the glass case over yonder. For the lingerie blouse of the season, the shoulder seam is moderately short; sleeve moderately full and quite short and edged with frills; the back trimmed, not, however, so elaborately as the front. The fluffy blouse is very charming worn with a coarseeps skirt the kind high at the back and cut out in front. It seemed to us all the skirts on display except those of strictly utilitarian sort, were made coresellet Attention was called lately to the coats offered for girls, and as we looked at several models we thought the fashions most commendable this year, so simple and sensible. They were all of light weight and light colored wool and all made on the box order; loose and comfortable, easy to get into and out of. For a girl of 12 there was a three-quarter length coat of tan cloth plaid by lines of soft green; cuffs and collar of green cloth. A twin in design was of tan and red. For an older girl was shown a semi-loose jacket of tan covert cloth, just the thing for cool summer days and very pretty with a sailor of burnt-straw. Lingerie hats, wash hats which can be easily pulled apart and put together again, are in evidence everywhere. They are of white pique, of colored wash materials, and there are some of silk. The best dressed children one sees, almost invariably wear tubable garments; wraps, frocks, trousers all capable of immersion in the wash tub—and many hats nowadays are made with this in view. The one-piece frock continues the approved one for little girls. For a very young lady the skirt is made extremely short, belt placed low, the plats run down to this belt and the fulness below as extreme as the skirt's brevity. There are many short-sleeved frocks; a pretty fashion, for children almost always have such adorable arms. The sailor suit for small boys has returned to favor, and the streets are to be filled with diminutive sailor men. The Norfolk has many adherents, is as popular as any models on the market. Changes in boys' fashions are seldom radical, the mothers do not have much trouble in planning designs for them. And then, too, so many things can be bought ready made, even for Master Three-Year-Old. The tailors provide even him with a natty spring suit; he may go forth—or his mother—and purchase trousers and coat of fine gray cloth, join the fashion. Some exquisite ones were noted; a pink messaile fitted to the waist by smallish tucks, with upper part of soft, creamy radium silk, so fine and sheer and lighted by the faintest blush of roses; a soft blue crepe de chine, the skirt bordered with three large tucks, a lovely flowered organdy much frilled, a revival of an old fashion, reminding of rosebud gardens of girls on diploma day. In the millinery section one saw beautiful colors and enough all-black hats to give pleasing contrast. Here was a pink messaile draped turban, the only trimming a couple of moss rosebuds. Here was a hat adorned with a dozen different kinds of posies, grotesque when off the head, becoming when on. There were sailors galore, most of them trimmed more than they should have been—one had got so used to thinking of a sailor as a simple affair. Here were hats that looked as though they had been used for footballs, a dent here, another illogical one there, and put it on the head, it was chick, very unlike the battered affair of a moment ago. And that is what we have to say about hats; that they look awfully queer off, remarkably well on. Again we are to tilt our headgear, not quite so much forward as last year, but give a tipsy angle to one side. Oh, the vanities and the vagaries of fashion! Yet another word about hats. The bird o' Paradise is with us with a vengeance, its trail everywhere. And peacock tones are with us in a strength in millinery, and in gowns. One sees whole windows of peacock blue dresses so brilliant as to be visible a very long way off. In contrast with this garishness is a new color called "banana," of which there are several shades—the range goes from palest cream to biscuit and reaches its climax in a pale mustard. ELLEN OSMONDE. THE PRACTICAL ONE-PIECE FROCK. promenade with the proud consciousness he is "correct." To be sure, the treasured trousers are almost hidden by the upper garment of "his suit," but they have real pockets, make the little one feel very proud and manly. And nothing gives his elder brother more pleasure than the rainy day coat "just like father's." The other day when skies were lowering, we happened to be out and could not help noticing what smart rain coats were worn by lads of various ages. One boy of 13 or thereabouts had on a straight box coat of dark gray, as trig and neat as could be, and he trudged along in it, proud as a cock. In Union There is Strength. GA CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1906. All Three Equally Guilty—Jerome Throwing Dust in People's Eyes—Black Slaves. New York City—Speaking of Robert Spriggs, the Afro-American dive keeper recently given a long term in the state's prison, and the so-called "white slaves" of the Tenderloin, Editor T. Thomas Fortune, of the Age, says: Spriggs and his father have been dive keepers in New York for nearly 50 years, the son taking up the business where his father left it off. All sorts of women were fish that came to their nets, and plenty of all sorts of white women came along with the other sorts, for white women are as addicted to the social evil as other sorts of women; and in the large cities of the north and the west a large and increasing number of them appear to prefer association with Afro-Americans rather than with men of their own race. The hubbub which the district attorney's office and the newspapers have had over Spriggs and his wife doings must be meant to cover the blindness with which they have been ignored during a long period of years; because it was not possible for Spriggs and his sort to do business without police protection, without the indifference of the district attorney's office and without the silence of the newspapers; and all this he enjoyed, as his father had before him, up to a short time ago. As far as the district attorney's office is concerned, it looks very much as if the prosecution of Spriggs and the great noise that has been raised by it, is in the nature of a bluff to distract attention from the failure of the district attorney to prosecute the big rogues in the insurance business discovered by the Armstrong investigating committee and from the ugly disclosures in the Berthe Claiche case. The yell of "white slaves" and "black slave master" has been enough to arouse all the people of New York and to distract their attention from other rascalsalities which the district attorney might regard as dangerous to probe too deeply. We have no sympathy with vice of any art, we use "white slaves" or "black slave" and there are plenty of both sorts in New York, made so by necessity or natural deprivacy. Like other violators of the law, the police should deal with them equally, without regard to color and nationality. There is no reason whatever why Spriggs should not get all the law he is entitled to, both from the newspapers and the courts; and there is equally none why the white rascals in the same business should not be made to answer to the law in the same way. In the matter of vice as in that of virtue, the good people of New York should insist that justice is blind and that the district attorney and the police act strictly in accordance with this fact. St. Louis, Mo.—A pocketbook containing four $100 money orders was turned over to Postmaster Wyman March 29 by the finder, Albert Mitchell, an Afro-American, of 1623 Chestnut street. The orders were issued by the postoffice at Iasco, Mo., March 19, to Moses Balea, and were drawn on Cleveland, O. Mitchell found the purse Tuesday in an alley near Seventeenth street, between Pine and Chestnut streets. It also contained credentials authorizing Balea to collect money for a religious organization.

The standers were horrified when his limp body fell in a heap on the barroom floor. On Saturday Williams was found in an unconscious condition in the rear of the same saloon by Fred Valentine and taken to Cleveland General hospital, where he was found to be suffering from morphine poisoning.

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. GREAT ALARM. More than one year ago it was predicted by an aged Afro-American woman of strong religious faith that the city of Memphis would be engulfed into one vast body of water. Some day in March was designated as the day of the disaster. As the day of the "terrible doom" approached, the feeling of dread waxed more intense and thousands of the inhabitants of both races fled with no expectation of returning. A dark and wretched plight confronted thousands of others, who remained as they faltered amid the uncertainty of the situation. Some who remained laughed in seeming mockery of the probability of such an event, while the more credulous resigned themselves hoping that in some way or other they might be miraculously snatched from the awful calamity. That the prediction caused no little bad feeling is revealed in the fact that its author was confined in prison for several days, yet released with the declaration upon her lips that "Memphis must sink." Just why Memphis should sink is a thing which baffles the ken of modern prophecy. But Memphis is a bad city in which the Sabbath day is most wantonly desecrated and hardly does a day pass but that some poor fortunate Negro is murdered. We don't wonder that many people became alarmed and hastened away from seeming destruction. We don't wonder that strong men trembled and qualified under the lash of accusing conscience. But Memphis stands not alone in the catalogue of crimes. It is possible that great cities shall perish from the earth. They may provoke the wrath of Jehovah, but we deem it unmeet in this day more than any other, that mortal tongue finds it possible to foretell the future. GEN. KEIFER THRICE ARMED IN A QUARREL JUST. In all human reason, it remains an answerable question how honest and fair dealing men can oppose Gen. Keifer's reduction bill at present pending before the house of representatives at Washington, D. C. The bill is a protest against southern robbery and injustice and it is an attempt to rectify a glaring wrong to a race, and very especially to the country. Men must be honest with themselves—they must do the right thing with their neighbor and from an absolute sense of right and wrong. There is not an individual, possessing the power of honest discrimination that can with hand upon his carnest heart and lips upon Holy Writ swear in soul conviction, before God that the disfranchisement of Afro-American in those states to which this bill now applies, is right per se. The man that has the exercise of his five senses cannot declare himself honest, who favors the present condition of affairs as they relate to the Afro-American. It is remarkable, too, that there are high-minded citizens professing the strictest regard for morals and honesty who are willing to truckle to this nefarious idea of discrimination and injustice to the Afro-American through sophistry and prejudice. Gen. Keifer is without doubt contending for a righteous cause. No sophistry of reasoning can impair the truth nor diminish the sacredness of the eternal principle of the issue now being urged by Gen. Keifer for equal liberty and free government. The Moon, an illustrated weekly, belahors itself in giving this bill. But the Moon might better subserve public interest by giving its own honest conviction, a conviction of what is right rather than that of selfishness and religious caste based upon racial distinction and not upon the cause of humanity and righteousness. To say that the president and Speaker Cannon have expressed their opinion that the measure of southern reduction will receive no comfort from them is a base misrepresentation of truth. It is out of the question to believe that any word of dictation has even fallen from the lips of either of these men. As patrols and statesmen and as lovers of a cause that concerns our national destiny, we are convinced that as such, they will favor no influence looking to the suppression of the rights of the people. The Afro-American is part and parcel of our common government. He is to all intents and purposes a citizen under the national law, invested with privileges as sacred, distinct and equal in any and every respect as those of any other man regardless of the color of his skin. But if the law did not accord and does not accord this right, the right nevertheless exists by virtue of God's eternal law; and the individual who would presume to abrogate this right, becomes a usurper, a tyrant and a robber. Gen. Kelfer should receive the unanimous support of congress and the indorsement of all fair minded people. DEGRADES AND NULLIFIES THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. Ed. Johnson, an Afro-American convicted of assault and sentenced to death, was lynched in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Monday, March 19th, by a mob. The Afro-American stood well in the community and many of the best people refused to believe the man guilty of the terrible crime. The victim of the assault herself declared upon the witness stand that she could not identify the accused as being her assailant, but the jury was strongly prejudiced as was seen in the instance when one of the jurors stated to the woman that if she would only believe the prisoner to be the man, he would leave the jury box and cut his (the prisoner's) throat. The law presumed him innocent until his guilt was established. There was strong doubt of the guilt of the man, yet he was convicted under the law with the presumption that he was guilty. His attorneys failed to secure an appeal to the supreme court of the state, from the fact that the presiding judge by arbitrary ruling interposed. At once the case was brought before the federal court and through the action of Justice Harlan a stay of execution was granted. Many of the best white and colored people believed Ed. Johnson an innocent man and it seemed that the opportunity had come for a fair and impartial trial. But the mob became more defiant in the face of the stay of execution granted by the U. S. supreme court. For the first time in the history of the country has a mandate of the supreme court been thus nullified; for the first time has the majesty of an order entered by our highest tribunal been so audaciously outraged. At once the nation is started and Chief Justice Fuller and his associates are called to determine the meaning of their authority. A bold and intolerable contempt has been imposed upon the supreme court of the nation. The highest and best resort of appeal has been spurned, and men are left to ask for the culbona. Yet so obtuse and so blind are we to the real merits of the situation as they confront the sacred rights of the citizen, that we fail to realize the import and danger in which we are placed as patrons and allies of a common cause and of a great republic. But, Ah! says the reckless invader, the defiance was only done in taking the life of a Negro. Let it be remembered that the honor of the nation is now involved, that its life and its institutions have all felt the stroke of the traitorous mob from which there is no palliation. Upon the national brow remains the impress of humiliation and shame, while a powerful government staggers at the thought of its helplessness. After mature deliberation, the supreme court determined in the interest of supreme justice to the cause of the people to stay the execution of a citizen, and a villainous and crazy mob regardless of the far reaching consequences nullified the claims of the government, thus offering a challenge for others to do likewise. United States Marshall Wright will be instructed by the assistance of the court to deal with those guilty of laxity in allowing a person protected by the order of that tribunal, to be put to death in violation of the law. The strictest order was wired in full that Johnson be retained in custody until the case was disposed of at Washington. But the court has been made a thing of contempt and it remains to be seen what further action shall be taken in vindication of the dignity of the highest judicial body on earth. Burned Minister's Home Chattanooga, Tenn.—At an early hour Sunday morning incendias tried to burn the residence of the Rev. Howard L. Jones, pastor of the First Baptist church, who in a sermon last Sunday denounced the lynchers of Ed Johnson in the strongest language at his command. Since the sermon was delivered Dr. Jones has been receiving anonymous letters almost every day telling him that something would happen to him. He is now convinced that not all of these anonymous threats were idle, and has secured the services of a detective who will keep watch upon the house for some time. Our people will resent this sort of thing unless the authorities put an immediate stop to it. Burning is a game two can play at. "Aint It So?" "Here in North America there are so many Teutons, Slavs, Bohemians, Scandinavians, Celts, Negroes, Italians, Hebrews and other races, mingling and coalescing, that the composite product produces a new ethnic group different from any other; so that, until we are classified or named, we here in North America cannot be called the great Anglo-Saxon race. It is this Anglo-Saxon nation and the progressive development of our country is not due to blood, but the CHARACTER OF OUR. OWN CITIZENES, it matters not what their ethnic entity may be."—Rev.

Never was there a time when the necessity was greater of getting together and counseling with one another and taking us wisely to meet the present conditions. In central locations, here and there, race gatherings are being held and the effort is being made to bring our people together and cement them in thought and purpose and effort in a way that will make for the greatest blessing of the race. Following this thought the colored ministers union of Cleveland have decided to call a conference of colored men and women interested in the progress of the race, within a state of Cleveland, to meet in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, May 15th, in Antioch Baptist church. At this conference there will be three sessions, morning, afternoon and evening. At the morning session there will be a conference of the delegates and reports of race conditions in communities from which the delegates have come will be heard. At the afternoon session there will be speeches by representative men and women on questions of vital race interests. At the evening session there will be a very interesting program. Some leading man of the race, or friend of the race, will make the principal address and special music will be provided. You are requested to attend the program and to present you in your community. Please notify Rev, J. S. Jackson, 39 Newton street, Cleveland, of the number coming from your organization as soon as delegates are elected, so that the program may be completed. Accommodations will be provided for delegates at a reasonable price. Signed—H. C. Bailey, I. A. Collins B. J. Prince, J. S. Jackson, represent ing the Ministers union. Cleveland, April 2, 1906 FIVE INDICTED FOR RIOTING Grand Jury at Springfield Still Investigating the Recent Mob Disturbances in that City. Springfield, O.-Five indictments were returned Saturday afternoon by the grand jury against persons found guilty of participating in the rioting and the burning of the jungles and other buildings. William Wood, alias the "Cincinnati Kid," and Charles Ross, known as "Poodle," two of them, were arrested Saturday evening. It is said that the jury has found Edward Dean guilty of shooting Mark M. Davis and an indictment for murder in the first degree will be returned against him. Preston Ladd, with him when the shooting occurred, testified before the jury that Dean shot Daniel Simpson and Charles Beltz were arrested late Saturday on the indictments returned by the grand jury for rioting. Simpson is also charged with nettle carceny. MAKE MONEY!

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 Travel "for Fun." Great expectation seems to center around the result in Ohio of the recently enacted two-cent rate law, reducing passenger fares from three to a two-cent per mile basis. It is anticipated that the result of the reduction in rates will perceptibly reduce passenger fares and traveling. In fact, under the new conditions, in future a solitary passenger will be looked upon with suspicion and shunned for selfishness, at least.

Jennie Loper, who weighed 700 pounds, died recently at Chester, Pa. The fund of $150,000 which was raised by the friends of late W. H. Baldwin Jr., in his memory was presented to Tuskegee institute at the recent quarto centennial. John E. Spurlock, the noted Afro-American gunner, who formerly lived in Manchester and Richmond, Va., is heir to $1,175, which has been left him by Captain H. C. Taylor, of the navy. Rev. Washington E. Gladden, pastor of St. Jonah Baptist church, Colorado Springs, Col., has been appointed chaplain of the 24th U. S. infantry to succeed Major Allen Allensworth who has been placed on the retired list. The Afro-American should learn never to submit voluntarily to his own degradation, especially when he has to pay for it. Let him taboon churches, the剧院 and all other resorts where he is "Him Crowed" and not give his money to keep them up and himself down. A steadfast adherence to this rule will in time prosecute effect—St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. Out of the 25 applicants who took the examination recently held by direction of the war department at Fort Robinson, Neb., two were Afro-Americans and they passed. In order to be successful it was necessary to make not less than a 90 per cent. average. As a result W. H. Hill, of the Tenth cavalry, has been promoted to post commissary sergeant. Our other applicant was the Sergeant Major Slaggett, fifth infantry. Daniel Webster, for 30 years a member of the Twenty-fifth infantry, recently brought to the White House from the Philippines costly wedding presents, valued at $4,000; from Major General Wood to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. The gifts are three in number, consisting of a gold and silver hand-carved Chinese tea set of 18 pieces, a shawl, woven of pure gold and silver threads, and a piano cover of the same material, with a hand-carved border of jade. Mr. Webster is about 60 years old and was color-sergeant of the 25th infantry when he received his discharge in 1902, after 30 years continuous service in the regiment. The absolute curse of many colored children is their lazy, shiftless, unnatural mothers and beastly fathers. Home training in politeness, self-respect and veneration for the church and God is a lost art. As a result our jails and state prisons are filled with people who have bellum times but the youth of the race. While the church is wrestling with the vexed problem as to how the young people may be attracted to the church, rowdyism on the part of our young men and the uncivil boisterous conduct of our girls day and night in the streets of our cities, is an evil force that causes a dishonorable bloot upon our racial standing in this country.—The Baptist Record. 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 want to pay more than auble auble bank or a range of cars and let me pass through Youngstown and along the banks of the picturesque Beaver and Ohio Rivers into Pittsburg 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 Euclid avenue, in the city of Cleveland.

Y., practically destroyed the Evening Times building, causing a loss estimated at $200,000. Advocates of a Higher Rate of License for the Saloons Were Also Successful. Chicago, Ill.-Under the result of the city election held Tuesday, in which the question of municipal ownership of the street railways was the vital issue, the city of Chicago can proceed to acquire and control the railways, but cannot operate them. At the same time the voters, while declaring that the city shall not proceed to operate the railroads, declared that as a question of public policy it would be desirable for the city to do so. Three propositions were submitted to the voters, the first of which was: "Shall the city of Chicago proceed to operate street railways?" This proposition required 60 percent of the total vote cast in order to become effective. The total vote was 231,111, number the proposition to proceed to the immediate operation of the street railways secured 120,911 votes, or 17,792 short of the necessary three- fifths. The second proposition involved the approval of an ordinance previously passed by the city council providing for the issue of street railway certificates in amount not to exceed $75,000,000 for the purchase, ownership and maintenance of the street railways. "This was carried by about 3,800 votes." The third question, which was simply on the question of public policy and has no legal effect whatever, is "Shall the city council proceed without delay to secure the municipal ownership and operation of the street railways under the Mueller law, instead of granting franchises to private companies?" This proposition was carried by about 3,800 votes. Besides the question of municipal ownership the issue was made in many of the aldermanic contests of whether the saloon licenses of the city shall be $500 or $1,000. The low figure was in existence up to March 5, when the city council passed an ordinance that would cost $1,000. The liquor interests made a strong fight against all alderman who was up for re-election who had voted for the license of $1,000. Of the 15 men against whom they put their influence 12 were elected and three defeated. Of the nine aldermen up for re-election who voted for the continuance of their seats in the council. There is little danger, however, that the high license will be repealed. ELECTIONS IN THE WEST. The Republicans Win at Milwaukee and Kansas City. Milwaukee, Wis.—Sherburn M. Becker, the young republican candidate for mayor of Milwaukee, was on Tuesday elected over David S. Rose, democrat, who has for the past eight years been the city's executive head. Unofficial figures give. Becker's plurality 1,555. The indications are that Becker also carried with him the balance of the republican city of Milwaukee. Mr. Beardsley ticket headed by Henry Beardsley for mayor was elected Tuesday, Mr. Beardsley's majority over Robert L. Gregory, democrat, being estimated at 1,200. The issue of the campaign was restriction of public service franchises, both platforms endorsing the principle of municipal ownership. Four of the six wards in Kansas City, Kan., having declared in yesterday's Republican primary Rose's policy of licensing liquor joints, the mayor sent his resignation to the city council last night. The resignation was accepted. Made No Progress. New York. — The subcommittees representing the anthracite operators and the mine workers of eastern Pennsylvania held their first joint meeting here Tuesday and after nearly a three hours' session adjourned until Thursday without coming to an agreement. Each side to the controversy had refused to make the slightest concession, and the whole question apparently is as far from solution as it was before the conference began, a time before the trip of the anthracite industry remains complete, without indications that a resumption of mining will occur very soon.

In every big city there are several dozen dreadfully formed creatures who could make huge incomes in museums, but who, having money, prefer to remain unseen. They are monstrosities, beings so terribly unlike ordinary men and women that if they ventured out upon the street, they would instantly be surrounded by an enormous and shrieking crowd. The monstrosities must have air and exercise. They take it before dawn, between four and five, for then the streets are most nearly empty. I see them on my beat, moving slowly in the dim light, like the creatures of a nightmare. The dim, still hour before dawn is theirs. I call it the ghastly hour." Tit for Tat. They had a quarrel. "I won't say marriage is a failure," he said, angrily, "but some are more fortunate in what they get than others." She laughed annoyingly. "You are right, dear," she said. "You, for instance, got me; but I— "got only you." - Cassell's Journal. He Wa3 Busy Noozy—Never saw so many idle men as there are around here, especially down at the next corner.

The civil service examination for candidates for the railway mall service was held at the Spencer Business college, Baldwin avenue and Eighteenth street, Thursday. Our young men should take advantage of these opportunities. Alexander Turner, of Ravenna, and two other Afro-Americans took it. Geo. W. Johnson cannot get a pension until he can get in communication with some old comrade who was a member of Company A, Fourth Maryland regiment, war of the lion. When Mr. Johnson enlisted a careless officer who wrote his instead a simply George Williams, instead of George William Johnson. One witness is all a special act of congress requires to prove that George Williams of that war time is the George William Johnson of to-day. Mrs. Johnson is the famous Lucy, the last runaway slave to be taken back south before the civil war. The Knights of Pythias' annual services at St. John's church last Sunday was a brilliant affair. The three lodges of Sir Knights in new uniforms and headed by the Metropolitan and Buckeye State bands marched from Woodliff hall down Central avenue to the church, presenting a very pleasing spectacle. Rev. Ira A. Collins preached eloquently. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend "The Bachelors" fourth annual reception Thursday evening, April 19, at Cyclorama parliars, Alegheny, Pa.

The Batson and Millar entertainment at Shiloh church Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Kentucky club was a musical treat. The program which follows was most enthusiastically received. Invocation, Rev. Dr. Prince; plano solo, Mrs. Maud Noble; "Swiss Echo Song." Miss Batson; encore, "An Ode to Paul L. Dunbar;" bass solo, Mr. Millar, enced twice; baritone solo, Miss Batson; imponations by Mr. Millar. At this time he paid The Gazette a clever tribute; descriptive duet, Miss Batson and Mr. Millar. He is the author of the excellent poems, "Jim Crow" and "Vengence is Mine, Saith God." Rev. Byron Gunner, who recently resigned the pastorate of Union Congregational church, Newport, R. I., has not left the ministry but has under consideration calls from Ballixore and Philadelphia which he will not consider until fall, owing to the need of rest after a number of years of printing establishment, which he purchased nearly a year ago to aid in his support and that of his family, will be disposed of between this and fall. The reverend was a printer before entering the ministry. The missionary aid given Union Congregational church was withdrawn about two years ago, thereby making it necessary to have a mentary aid from another source other than his charge. This explains the purchase of the printing plant. The contest between Teddy Green, Reserve's spinner, and Mount Pleasant, the champion Indian runner, will be a feature of the great Pennsylvania relay carnival, April 28. In the 100-yard dash Green has no equal in the state. Green will represent the red and white in the 100-yard event at the relay carnival, and Mount Pleasant will be on hand to compete for the honor of Carlisle. It is doubtful if there is a faster spinner in any of the big colleges than Green, and Mount Pleasant has the other Indians beaten a block. At the time of the Carlisle-Massillon Tiger game here last fall, in which the Indian participated, the possibility of a match between him and Green was discussed. When the anthem was composed that Reserve is classed with such schools as Carlisle, Maryland and Virginia, it was at once seen that a match between Green and Mount Pleasant was practically inevitable. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. St. John, of Gildings avenue, gave a brilliant reception Saturday evening in honor of Miss Flore Batson and Mr. Gerard Miller. Others present were: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel T. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Riks, Misses Dazella Underwood, Adalela Sabb, Elizabeth Black and Mrs. Geneva Minter. The table was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and wax fruit cases, the shapes of peanuts, and the flowers being filled with assorted french candies. The supper was a masterpiece of culinary art and showed many artistic touches that have made Mr. St. John quite a reputation in this particular place. The musical program was a fine one. Miss Underwood's solo was a gem. Mr. Miller sang an Arabian romance. Miss Batson's two selections, "Ecstacy and "The All Eyes in showcase that her voice has gained in voice and nados. Mrs. Minter at the piano did much as usual to hold up Cleveland's musical banner. Miss Blackwell's piano solos were exceptionally good. Carriages were called at 2 p. m. Over 2,000,000 Illiterate Whites. New York, March 31.-Mrs. Martha S. Girlow, of Alabama, president of the Southern Industrial Education association, in an address in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, gave some astonishing statistics on southern illiteracy. Mrs. Girlow said there were 2,000,000 native whites in the Appalachian region alone unable to read and write. The republicans of Trego county, Kansas, have adopted a platform which for brevity probably beats any political declaration ever before made: "Resolved, that we let well enough alone."

The Australian duty on American harvesters has been definitely fixed at $138.32, writes Consul General Bray, of Melbourne, the former rate having been $187.35. The protest of importing companies was without avail. American ice and refrigerating machinery will be in demand in Canada this spring. Consular reports indicate that many ice factories will be started, as the mild winter has prevented storage of natural ice in usual quantities. Commercial Agent Benedict, of Campbellton, states that Canadian manufacturers are said to be inquiring in the English markets for supplies of steel strips for tube making, claiming that they are not able to obtain sufficient supplies of this material in America. According to late advices the erection of cold-storage establishments in Argentina has received fresh impetus, owing to the fact that a law has been passed permitting free entry of apparatus for such purposes. Refrigerating machinery is manufactured in America, and Argentina announces her need of it. Positively cured by these Little Girls' Dairy Disrespect from Dysppepsis. Indigestion and Too Heavy Rating.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY Dr. Williams' Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Alling and Bloodless. When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless a wasting illness has preceded, or the sufferer happens to be a girl on the verge of womanhood. Obscure influences, something unhealthful in one's surroundings or work, may lead to a slow impoverishment of the blood and an enfeeblement of the whole body. When a serious stage has been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it. M. C. E. Legg, of Ftiont, W. Va., has found a successful method of treating weakness and bloodlessness. He says: "I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for weakness caused by a lingering malarial fever that began in the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were indigestion and a bad state of my blood. I was ammicic, as the doctors say. People had blood enough, that I didn't have the right kind of blood; mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of order. I was badly annoyed by sour rinsings from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, in my back and under my right shoulder blade. I had the cures that I troubles last?" "For over two years. For four months of that time I was under the care of a physician, but his medicine did me no good. Meanwhile I learned of the cures that had been wrought by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." "You owe your cure to these pills?" "I certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others to whom I have recommended them. That merit and I know of nothing that would take their place." For further information and valuable information, call Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y. PERSONAL PARTICULARS. Ralph D. Blumenfield, editor of the London Express, is an American, having been born in Milwaukee. He learned his profession in Chicago and New York. Gov. Guild of Massachusetts has appointed Miss Marie Rose Collins, a daughter of Former Mayor Collins, of Boston, as state prison commissioner. She has given the subject of prison work much attention. Ex-President Cleveland has sold his farm lying a short distance outside of Princeton.

In a way is twice an American citizen. He came to this country over 20 years ago and was naturalized in 1888. Not long ago a building in which he had some papers was burned, his naturalization papers going with the rest. Patrick at once made application for a new set and now is able again to give documentary evidence of his American citizenship. TRENCHANT TRIFLES We could be virtuous if we practiced enough. A real Christian doesn't have to use words to tell it. A great many people believe that sin is only a wrong found out. Some men loudly demand justice while softly praying for mercy. A shrewd man may be both wise and honest, but the odds are against his being either. The prophet who is always foretelling disaster never secures a large and admiring constituency. We lose more time in growling at the weather than we do in chinking the cracks in the shutters to keep it out. "COFFEE JAGS." The Doctor Named Them Correctly. Some one said "Coffee never hurts anyone." Inquire of your friends and note their experiences. A. Phila, woman says: "During the last 2 or 3 years I became subject to what the doctor called 'coffee jags' and felt like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. I nauseated me, and I felt as though there was nothing but coffee flowing through my veins. "Coffee agreed well enough for a time, but for a number of years I have known that it was doing me great harm, but, like the rum toper, I thought I could not get along without it. It made me nervous, disordered my digestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distressing headaches. "When I got what the doctor called a 'coffee jag' on, I would give up drinking it for a few days till my stomach regained a little strength, but I was always frettful and worried and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug. "About a year ago I was persuaded to try Postum, but as I got it in restaurants it was nothing but a sloppy mess, sometimes cold, and always weak, and of course I didn't like it. Finally I prepared some myself, at home, following the directions carefully, and found it delicious. I persevered in its use, quitting the old coffee entirely, and feeling better and better each day, till I found at last, to my great joy, that my alliments had all disappeared and my longing for coffee had come to an end. "I have heretofore suffered intensely from utter exhaustion, besides the other alliments and troubles, but this summer, using Postum, I have felt fine." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Restaurant cooks rarely prepare postum Coffee properly. They do not let it boll long enough. FATAL FINISH Of the Balloon Voyage of Paul Nocquet. He Started from New York City and His Balloon Landed on South Shore of Long Island. New York—Death in the waters of Bass creek, a small stream winding through the meadows along the south shore of Long Island, between Jones Beach and Amityville, ended the daring balloon ascent Tuesday afternoon of Paul Nocquet, a French sculptor of note and an enthusiastic amateur astronaut. The body was found last night on the muddy shore of the creek, where the tide had left it, and not a great distance from where Nocquet's collapsed balloon was discovered late Tuesday night, by the life savers of Jones Beach. The discovery of the body put an end to a search which had included ocean, land and marshes and which had been begun under the direction of the Aero club of New York as soon as the balloon was received that the balloon had been found, with no trace of its missing occupant. Nocquet apparently landed safely with his car and in fighting his way out of the meadows in the darkness had traversed about two-fifths of the distance from Jones Beach to Amityville, several miles, when he died. He had crossed 13 or 14 different islands and had swum or waded through the rumlets between them. He had crossed 13 or 14 different islands and had swum or waded through the rumlets between them. He must have staggered the last mile of the two he traveled under fearful difficulties. He essayed a trip that few men could possibly complete in daylight. When Nocquet started on his flight Tuesday afternoon the wind was blowing out to sea. This meant that unless he should come down after being up but a short time—having started from the Bronx—he would surely be over the ocean. A life preserver was strapped inside the basket and the word to let go was given. The balloon in its flight passed over Jamaica, Garden City, Westbury, Jericho and Cold Spring Harbor, then darkness came and shut it from view. What its course was after passing over Huntington at about 8:15 p. m. there is no means of knowing. Nothing further was heard of it until its discovery on Jones Beach was announced. Paul Nocquet had made many successful attempts at aerial navigation. It is not as an aeronaut alone that Nocquet has attained distinction, however. He is almost equally well known as an author, sculptor and artist. Wide attention recently was attracted to his work as a sculptor by a bronze figure of President Roosevelt, entitled "A Freedom Preserver." He represents the president dragging a bear by the ear, while in his right hand he holds aloft a cub. RAN INTO AN OPEN SWITCH A Passenger Train on the Norfolk & Western Road is Wrecked. Norfolk, Va. A serious wreck occurred on the Norfolk & Western railroad between Suffolk and Norfolk, Wednesday, when the "Cannon Bali" train, bound from Richmond to this city, ran through an open switch at Juniper sliding. Seven persons were injured in the wreck and but for the vigilance of Mark Noble, engineer of the train, who was watching for just such a thing as an open switch, which caused the wreck, probably many of the 50 or 60 passengers aboard would have been killed. The train was running at the rate of 75 or 80 miles an hour when Engineer Noble spied the open switch 30 yards away. Immediately he threw on his emergency brakes, reducing his speed to about 30 miles by the time the engine struck the switch. The train jumped the track, then jumped an adjoining ditch and ran headlong into neighboring woods before it stopped. Congressional.

"Now, my 'damages' had seen me a little while, and I received a gift of $1.50 single, and $1.25 double, and I thought it was a pretty good thing. So in the morning I presented my little slip, saying: 'I have us special rates, I believe $1.5 a day.' "Yah, dot it right," answered mine host. "One dollar and a half is special." "I paid him 15 cents, on which he made me a tip," he said, my way, rejoicing as much as I could. I strolled down to the depot with a commercial missionary, who seemed very much pleased about something, and presently in a very high state of chuckle, he said, "Mr. Hawks, I laughed with you last night, but I had to laugh at you this morning. What's the joke?" I asked, for I didn't see any. "That landlord gave you a special rate of $1.30 per, did he?" I did not answer. "Well, that's the joke; his regular rates are one dollar a day." TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR. Head Covered with Humor Sores, with Loss of Hair—Another Speedy Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "All my life I had been troubled more or less with humor in my scalp, but about a year ago it became worse, and when it became worse, which it itched so it nearly made me crazy, my hair also began to get dry and tail out. I tried all kinds of hair restorers and I found the best one, aged; but one day I was reading in a paper what the Cuticura Remedies had done for scalp diseases, and decided to make a box. I got a cake, Cuticura Soap, a box of Myriad Infused Cuticura Resolvent Pills. I used them according to directions, and soon noticed a difference: the tiny sores on my scalp began to grow. I began to grow thick. I used only the one cake of Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vid of Ointment, and now I have no sores on my scalp, and silky. Miss Mayzie C.

CO. 17 State Street. NEW YORK This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert Years for Health Lydia E. Parkham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and other plants, calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so boundly provides in the harvestfields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds, so, if we but take the pains of the compound love and care of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia P. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned about compound love and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. Some of this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable compound was made known to the world.

They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove and used to grow good bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her rewarm years but not till she was provided means for nurturing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for active employment, the hard work required careful study, and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a need for her attention regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham, she was carefully instructed to follow woman knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the nurse opened, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other woman, she has vised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Heath," freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from the leaves of one great medicine for women's ulcers and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.
