THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 37. At Faster By Kate A. Bradley MASTER blossoms in the SUN, Sweet and dainty, every one, Like the dawn, so pure and bright, Shedding forth their love and light. Master bells that ring and ring, Making every glad heart sing, Christ like in their very sound, Spreading truth and love around And again the story old To the little ones is told; Story old - yet ever new, Of our Christ - is told to you. And so full His Grace we feel As we at the altar kneel. HISTORY OF EASTER. Day Commemorates Resurrection of Christ—A Movable Festival Among Christians. It is well known that in the early Christian church for a long series of years warm disputes took place as to the proper date on which to observe Easter. The churches of Asia Minor, following what is called "The tradition of St. John," kept the fourteenth day of the Jewish month Nisan. The western churches, however, supported by the church at Jerusalem and a few others, said it was necessary that a Friday should always be set apart to commemorate Christ's death, and a Sunday His resurrection. The contest grew so warm that each side excommunicated the other. Surely trivialities could hardly go much further! It is difficult for us to imagine that our fathers could have disputed, and separated the one from the other, over a matter of this kind; but it is true that the apple of discord which seemed to the people of age to be made of gold, to their successors appears to be made only of iron or clay. With us, as is well known, Easter is what is called a movable festival. It is always held on the next Sabbath with the vernal full moon, with the exception that of the vernal full moon should fall on a Sunday, then, to avoid all conformity with the Jewish practice, Easter is not kept till the following Sabbath. The vernal full moon is that which either takes place on March 21 or on the next date after March 21. If the vernal full moon falls on March 21, and that day happens to be a Sunday, then Easter cannot be held till April 25, which is the latest date on which Easter can fall, the earliest being March 22. This is certainly a very mechanical contrivance, and one which most people find it difficult to understand or remember. Owing to obvious connection between Easter and the Jewish Passover, the French call the former Paques (from the Hebrew Pesche, which means a passing over), and obviously some such title as this would be more appropriate than ours, which comes from the Saxon goddess Eostre, believed to the same as the Syrian Astarte and the Greek and Roman In Union There Is Strength. I wonder if the anguished moon looked down Through all that long last night And buried in her scarred breast, lean and brown, The memory of that sight! I wonder of the 'th anyse birds awoke As glowed that strange, great light Which paled the purple east where morning broke, And sang, inspired by God's own breath, "There is no death! There is no death!" There is no death, O hearts that throb in vain With longing, pulsing tide, Or in love's fullness, nigh akin to pain, Unfearingly abide; There is no death, O soul whom niggard fate Has left unsatisfied. The cycles swain and joy those lips await Who oft have sung on earth in pain, "I rise again! I rise again!" No sacrifice, O Self, can blot thee out, Or satisfy the debt Which binds the to usurer of doubt With interest of regret! Still is not life to even thee denied: One way remaineth yet— As was thy Christ, must thou be crucified. But with those wounds in hands and feet, Even Self finds resurrection sweet! Reloice, O soul whose work is just begun, That all time lies before! Reloice, O heart whose treasures all have won That dimmer, farther shore! The stone that angels moved away that night Was rolled from Heaven's door; Awake and stand forth in hope's sudden哭 And sing as sang the birds that norn: : "There is no death, for Life is born!" -Detroit Free Press. Venus, who was specially worshiped in the spring season as the mother and giver of animal and vegetable life. From the earliest ages various customs and superstitions have associated themselves with Easter. As at Christmas it used to be believed that all water was turned into wine and that all cattle knelt in their stalls in adoration of the infant Saviour, so it was held that at Easter the sun danced in honor of Christ's resurrection—Chicago Standard. THE RABBIT AND EASTER. How the Little Animal Came to Be Connected with the Celebration of the Day. The part the hare plays in the celebration of Easter has nothing whatever to do with the resurrection of Christ. It is a survival of Teutonic folklore of unknown antiquity, and its religious connection is with nature-worship, and that phase of it in which the moon was a chief divinity. The hare became a symbol of the moon, for several reasons—because it comes out at night to eat; because the female carries her young for a month, representing the lunar cycle; because the young are born with their eyes open and were fabled never to close them, thus resembling the moon, "open-eyed watcher of the night"; in one way or another there grew up a fund of stories in which the connection of the hare, the lunar period and the paschal full moon, which fixes the date of Easter, developed so that it gave rise to many popular customs, in Germany, among the Scandinavian peoples and in England. The queerest bit of this folklore is that of the white hare, which the children are told comes into the house on Easter eve and leaves in corners eggs adorned in beautiful colors, which every good child may have. The egg was in religious legend from the oldest times a symbol of opening life and of immortality, and naturally of the resurrection, so here we have the people coupling the two. As for the rabbit, he is not the same as the European hare, but he is his nearest American congener, and other legends concerning the rabbit's foot and the full of the moon exist among the negroes of the south. soms in the SUN, inty, every one, so pure and bright, their love and light CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 14. 1906.

Possibly the only Negro who respects Mr. Tillman, and he has written to Mr. Tillman calls him, who has charge of Mr. Tillman's plantation.

Every trace of "Nigerism" has been obliterated—no chicken stealing; no razors; no policy and crap shooting (Thank the Lord!). Therefore, the majority of theatre managers have been opposed to "Abyssinia" because it shows the bright and intelligent side of the Afro-American, which Tom Dixon and others have tried to suppress.

In some parts of the county Negroes have been ordered to leave and threatened with dire punishment if they do not. The poor fellow exhibited to the judge many bruises and hurts as a result of the whipping, and the determination to inflict punishment on the perpetrators has been favorably received. ```markdown ``` "An Evening with Negro Authors."

S. Treasury—The Fights on Vernon, Wright and Adams. Hon. Judson W. Lyons, appointed register of U. S. treasury eight years ago by President McKinley, retired from office last week Friday, as the result of his resignation tendered after President Roosevelt had, some months ago, appointed to the place Prof. W. T. Vernon, president of an A. M. E. school at Quindaro, Kan. Strong opposition to the latter's confirmation by the U. S. senate has developed, and it begins to look as if Prof. Vernon will not get the place. Ed Wright, of Chicago, an ex-excommissioner of Cook county, has the support for the place of some of Illinois' congressmen, but lacks that of his state senators who, for factional power rea Cyrus Fields Adams. sons, are opposed to his candidacy, it is said. Cyrus Fields Adams, of Chicago, who some years ago was appointed first deputy register of the U. S. treasury, is temporarily in charge of the office. The division among the Illinois political powers-that-be may not only result in keeping Mr. Wright out of the race, but also in the displacing of Mr. Adams. Capt. Lyons is a member of the national republican committee from Georgia and was the most prominent candidate for the postmastership of Augusta when appointed register of the treasury. INTELLIGENCE AN OFFENCE! INTELLIGENCE AN OFFENCE! "Mammy" Marlow and Mrs. Mollie Terrell Contrasted—This is Rich. The Atlanta Constitution thus mentions a funeral procession which recently passed through the streets of Milledgeville, Ga.: "The procession was headed by Rev. D. W. Brannen, pastor of the Presbyterian church of that city; then the hearse, containing all that was mortal of Aunt Mary Marlow, an old Negro woman, who for nearly 99 years had been known to that community. And the palesters of this old woman, walking by the hearse, were six young white men, sons of the leading families of that community." Aunt Mary Marlow belonged to the class of women who, according to d叮xionx, "don't know what virtue is!" But it seems that Tom has never informed the citizens of Millegville of his discovery, or that they considered it too nonsensical to receive any attention. The Appeal cannot help thinking that if such a brilliant woman as Mrs. Terrell or some Afro-American woman of education and refinement had died in Milledgeville, the Presbyterian pastor and the six young sons of the leading families would not have taken such conspicuous parts in the procession. What facture is that Aunt Mary Marlow we the facture that as was entirely illiterate and, as trained by long years of servitude to have no other aspiration than to serve, as a southern writer said of another black mammy, with "dog-like fidelity." Intelligence in an Afro-American is an offense to the south. St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. Won a Point for the Race Washington, D. C.—Harry West, messenger to the committee on rivers and harbors, of which the Hon. T. E. Burton, of Cleveland, is chairman, was ejected from an elevator used by the U. S. senate, while on business for the committee. Feeling sure a color line was being drawn by officious prejudiced servants (elevator men) he immediately registered a decided protest with the proper members of congress and senate officials, with the result that all who now ride in the car are treated alike without any regard to race. This a deeded victory for which West is entitled to great credit because so many of our employees of the departments here accept like insults without a murmur, fearful that if they do their duty to themselves and the race, they will lose their jobs. May his tribe increase hereabouts at least. enn) ———— THE GAZETTE 5 PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

GREAT AND PROSPEROUS, ‘ Mound Bayou, Miss., was founded nd built up through the ingenuity end industry of a class of Afro- {Americans who today occupy a promt. nent place in the business affairs of ‘american life and enterprise. No place among our people leads more than this in the spirit of actual de- Nelopment and progress. Forty ‘square miles of territory surrounding en incorporated town containing ‘many mercantile houses, a bank, gins ‘and saw mills without a white in- habitant to supervise and direct in ‘the upbullding. Among the 2,000 In- habitants of the colony, crime is un- ‘known. ‘The marshal and his depu- tles are Idle because they have noth- 4ng to do and this is the only town itn the United States in which every official is an Afro-American and It 1s five miles from any white settlement. it Ie remarkable that every man is Kept busy and is actively engaged in pushing business from morning til! ‘night. The town of Mound Bayou has about 500 population and covers 45 acres of ground. It has 30 mer- eantile houses, including one drug store and an aggregate annual busi- ness of $100,000. There are threo Diacksmith and wagon shops, two weekly newspapers, three doctors, ‘one lawyer, one photographer, one harness maker, one restaurant and a ‘boarding house, one combination gin ‘and a sawmilll, three gins and a bank. ‘The business all told amounts to about $250,000. The railroad also does ‘an annual business of some $20,000, while the postal money order re- ceipts and payments amount to even ‘as much. The Afro-American owners ‘and agents do an annual business of ‘about $300,000. The bank of Mound Bayou was organized in 1904 with an ‘authorized capital of $10,000 of which $6,500 1s already pald in. For a while ft pald 17 per cent dividends and is now paying 25 per cent. A dozen or more of the prominent Afro-Amert- cans compose the directors. Every ‘cent of stock and every deposit is ‘owned by our people. But the Mound Bayou bank Js not the only financial ‘effort of the place, for practically all the land was bought subject to lien for deferred payments, and now all ‘he original purchase money bas been pald off. The people are prosperous, as fs shown in the fact that nearly all the heads of families own proper- ty in bulks of 40 acre tracts of land. In an educational way they have a Baptist high school which cost. $26,- 600, An American missionary. so clety institute costing $4,000, a public school with four teachers and four public schools at other points in the colony. It ts highly commendable to this people to say, all things consid ered, that the moral condition of the town is most excellent.

Let us have the opportunity. | lppety aneD THE SOUTH: ‘The part of Secretary of War Taft's speech at Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial School institute's. brilliant twenty-fifth anniversary celebration (silver jubilee), which touched on dis- franchisement, seems to have given the southern democrats in congress and the white south generally, great pleasure. “It certainly indicated,” says the Boston Globe, “that if given a seat on the bench of the United States supreme court he will not be Mkely to come to a different conclu- sion than the court has already reach- ed respecting state laws that on their face are impartial as respects the two races. As to whether they are ad- ‘ministered impartially he did not un. dertake to express an opinion. Un- doubtedly, as a statesman he knows, as everybody else knows, they are not.” Evidently as between the con. stitution (as far as our citizen rights fare concerned) and the south, Secre- tary Taft has chosen the latter. He eliminated himself last fall, here in Ohio at Akron, as a presidential possi- bility, and if the Globe has gauged him correctly as the result of his re- cent speech at Tuskegee, we sincerely trust President Roosevelt will not ap- point him to membership in the Uni. ted States supreme court. Both Springfield, Ohio, mob demon- strations, one a lynching—that of two Years ago, were the direct results of bad administration upon the part of the local authorities and three bad Nogroes, at least two of whom came to Ohio from Kentucky about a year before the troubles. That that town's offlcials are uot what they should be is a third time made clear and plain in the recent trials of rioters. Al- most as fast as they are convicted many of them are set free on one pre- text and another, even the jury of leading business men becoming a party with the judge in thus placing a high premium upon crime. Two years ago the police, local militia, fire companies, other officials and citizens generally showed clearly their pur- pose to “permit” the lynching of Dixon, and the mob demonstration of Some Weeks ago in these respects showed little improvement on the condition that existed there two years ago. Mithide (Cite onthe Lake: Preparations are now being made to open the White City on the Lake in @ most appropriate way about the middle of May. During the winter a large number of new and novel fea- tures have been booked in New York. A large bathhouse will be built and many Cleveland people will be sur- prised to see the fine beach which has been formed at the park by means of Jetties. The park will be under the management of Mr. Joseph Immer- man, who last year conducted {ts af- fairs so successfully. Mr, Edward C. Boyce, the president of the company, has a national reputation in that line. Mr. Clem V. Jacobs, a former local newspaper man, has been appointed director of publicity, and has estab- lished offices at 309 Blectric building to take care of the booking of pienics and excursions and other preliminary work connected with the park. Sees Merger of the Races. Greensboro, N. C.— Jerome K. Jerome said Wednesday: “I believe ‘that three generations hence will wit- ness social equality between the ‘white and black races in the south. ‘The future will no longer know the black man, as I predict there will eventually be an amalgamation of the white and colored races, due to the low moral code of ethics that now prevails.” The “social equality” of white men and colored women here In the south has staggered Mr. Jerome. ‘Then, too, the thousands of light colored children whose fathers are white men.

The Anthracite Mine Owners Offer to Submit Two Questions to Ar- bitration. New York—The anthracite oper- ators at their conference with the mine workers here Tuesday declined the proposition to have the conciliation board arbitrate all eriev- ances submitted by the wage workers aad made a counter proposition that the commission appointed by Presi. dent Roosevelt in 1902 be requested to decide whether any changes in con- ditions In the hard coal regions have occurred which require that tho award of the commission should be modified. The mine owners limit the inquiry to two grievances—wages and a method for the adjustment of ‘complaints. ‘The miners haye taken the proposal under consideration and may give the operators an answer on Thursday, when another conference between the sub-committees of the two parties will be held. In the meantime the miners’ committee of 36 will hold sessions and agree on a reply. In connection with the conference George F. Baer, chairman of the mine owners’ sub-committee, made public a letter sent to the committee by the Independent operators in which they give their views on the situation and express their firm conviction that “any agreement to arbitrate with the Vnited Mine Workers will be an un- Justifiable surrender to anarchy and tbls Widlenee”” THE RETURN OF DOWIE.

Corporal Stauberry declared also that Jones had sald that if he were sure that he would recelve only a light sentence for perjury he would come north and “tell the whole truth.” ‘The testimony was given at a hear- tng on the question whether Patrick shall have a new trial on the charge of the murder of Rice.

Hicks' was an enjoyable affair netting quite a sum for the church. The Telephone club of the Old Folks' Home held a very interesting meeting at Mrs. S. W. Jones, 15 Mayflower street, Friday evening week. The program was very good and the study of Dunbar was taken up. Company D, Ninth battalion, O. N. G., captain, John McPheeters, of Cleveland, is ordered mustered out of the service for inefficiency, as the result of the mustering order made. The mustering out order was issued by Adjt. Gen. Hughes Monday at Columbus. The annual thanksgiving sermon of the Independent, Order of St. Luke will be held at Antioch church Easter Sunday evening. A special choir under the direction of J. W. Noble will furnish the music. At this service Mrs. Grace Brown and Mr. Noble will render "The Crucifix." 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 you to attend. Have you tried them? The best ever. Rev. M. M. Ponton, at Atlanta, Ga., a former resident of this city, field agent for the John C. Martin educational fund, has been appointed a member of the board of directors and general superintendent for the south. The amount of money which Dr. Ponton helps to disburse is fully $3,000,000. The following persons will sing solos at Mt. Zion church Sunday evening: Miss Addie Hackley, Mr. James Lewis and Mr. Fred Hackley. A quartette by Misses Elizabeth Emery, Eda Ball, Bertha Sutton and Addie Hackley; several choruses by the school and recitations by the children will also be given. Don't you want to buy some Rover Safety Rack and Douglass Automatic Straw Binder stock? Are there those in the city who would like to sell some and can't? Buying stock is very expensive business oftimes, as many can attest. Wonder if it isn't pretty near time for another assessment to be levied on the straw binder stock. W. H. Thomas, the well known basso profundo, who has been traveling in the north and northwest all winter with his quartette, was in the city the past week and called on The Gazette. They concerted at a church in Collinwood Wednesday evening and are in Akron at the Y. M. C. A. this evening. They will be in the city again soon. Rev. Geo. R. Jackson, who has been assisting Rev. A. I. Collins for two weeks at St. John's church in revival services with great success, will conduct a union meeting at Antioch church all next week. Our Minister's union resolved to give it their presence and united support. All their congregations are cordially invited to unite in these services. There is no excuse for a failure on the part of any of our people to patronize at least one of our two undertaking firms, Messrs. Gee & Wills and Messrs. Boyd & Dean. All four of the men are gentlemen, sober, intelligent, energetic, polite and accommodating. If we do not patronize our own business men, it is simply worse than silly to expect others to do so. Walter Morr's, a nice looking young man, who jumped his ball bond about two years ago and was later arrested in Cleveland, was convicted of breaking into and entering a Michigan ave- nue store and sentenced to not less than two years in Jackson prison last Tuesday by Judge Phelan. The prisoner was given a choice between the House of Correction and Jackson.—Detroit (Mich.) Informer. At St. Andrew's mission special Easter services Sunday. At 6 a. m., holy communion; at 7 a. m., holy communion for those confirmed only; at 10:30 holy communion and sermon; at 3 p. m., special services and sermon to Ezekiel and Red Cross commanderies, K.

Leave your order and money for one at The Gazette office. You can get them from $3 up to $6. Mrs. Sarah Griffin, mother of Messrs. Chas, and Frank Griffin, Mrs. Beulah Griffin West and several other daughters, died Wednesday morning after a lingering illness. She was one of our older residents well known and highly respected. Rev. Bagnall baptised Mrs. Griffin last week and Bishop Leonard confirmed her Saturday. Funeral services at St. Andrew's mission today (Saturday) at 2 p. m., the rector officiating. Her sons and daughters have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends. Arthur Williams did not die in a saloon as first announced in the daily papers, nor was he under the influence of liquor at the time of his death. The fact is that he was digging a post hole in the rear of a Central avenue grocery store and fell unconscious while at work. He was carried to a saloon across the street and amputated until Tink & Wright's ambulance arrived and took him to the Cleveland General hospital, where he died the next morning. The cause of death was cerebral apoplexy. Some weeks ago, and about a year ago, Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor of Mt. Zion church, spoke his mind pretty freely on the subject of charity balls, and particularly the attendance upon them of church members. A good deal of discussion was indulged in generally at the time and yet no one has had the courage to undertake to refute in print Mt. Zion pastor's statements. A pretty close watch is to be kept on all church members who even attend the coming charity ball and many expulsions may follow church trials which will doubtless take place in the near future. Mr. Sanford Anderson, manager, assisted by P. L. Howard successfully presented to a crowded house the new play "Colored Aristocracy Abroad" at Woodliff hall Wednesday evening week. Principle characters: Miss May Goode, "Miss Fay Templeton" (leading lady); Miss Louise Honley, "Miss Hilda Laylin"; Howard Yates, "Dr. Boyer"; Preston Howard, "Joe, the waiter"; Walter Henderson, "Mr. Van Clayborn" (leading man); Burt Vincent, "Chas. Willie Holy Smook," the comedian, Gibson and Swinton, buck and wing dancers. Stage director, Mr. Walter Henderson. The Ladies' Benevolent club met at Mrs. J. M. Gilmere's, 75 Plymouth street, Thursday afternoon. After regular business lunch was served by Mrs. Gilmere. The club had as its guest Mr. Silas McElroy who was pleased with the organization that he readily joined. It now has three gentlemen members: Mr. Frank Lee, Mr.Winton Crowler and Mr. McElroy. The club adjusted to meet Mrs. James Putnam's, 15 Laurel street, next Thursday afternoon. It will give a social and musical at Mrs. John Cook's, Central avenue, near Brownell street, on Thursday evening, April 26. Mr. Perry D. Winslow and Miss Jessie M. Brannum were quietly married *Monday evening by Rev. Ira A. Collins at St. John's parsonage, after which the bridal party consisting of eight were served a fine wedding supper in the parlors of L. G. Adkins' cafe on Central avenue. The bride and groom have started housekeeping at 717 Sterling avenue, where they have a home beautifully furnished. The bridal party, which consisted of and Mrs. D. Winslow, Mr. and Mrs. D. Winslow, Mrs. D. Williams, Miss Rhoda Brannum and Fred V. Wells were serenaded by the Amity club quartet and it was highly appreciated. We wish them much success and happiness. Others present at the dinner given last week in honor of Mr. Glarid Millar and Miss Flora Batson by Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Boyd, of Edwards avenue, were: Rev. J. S. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. St. John, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Palmer and little Miss Palmer, who is quite a whistler, Hon. H. C. Smith, Mrs. Hattle Walker and Miss Mamie Gilbert. Mr. Millar and Miss Batson sang several beautiful solos and Ants, Miss Gilbern accompanied splendidly by piano. Gilbert has a strong, flexible and excellent voice of exceptional range, which is used exceptionally well. He is very versatile indeed, and his impersonations and other readings, especially in the dialect, are fine. Miss Batson's splendid voice is so well known the country over, in Australia and other foreign lands, that it seems almost superfluous to comment upon her work. In the duets and a solo, we had the pleasure of hearing, some of the richest and most sonorous contralto or "baritone" tones that we have ever heard were produced by her voice. The power she still possesses, after years of exacting work on the concert stage at home and abroad. Too much praise cannot be given both Mr. Millar and Miss Batson, and also Miss Gilbert, who played "at sight" difficult accompaniments like a veteran. She has a most promising future indeed. Wm. Buchanan, a waiter, was employed by Ernest H. Heyse, (white) caterer, corner Woodland and Central avenues to work at the Masonic temple from March 6 to March 9, and reported March 6 at 8 a. m. as ordered. He was told by the man in charge, representing Mr. Heyse, that they had to "cut off" three men and he was selected as one of them. Buchanan had refused other employment for those dates and therefore insisted upon payment from Heyse for the three days mentioned. This was refused. In Justice Morrow's court THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 14. 1906. Naples.—The volcano is resuming activity, especially at Cercola. The stream of lava which started anew in the direction of Torre Anunziata reached the cemetery of that town and then turned in the direction of Pompeii. A violent storm of sulphurous rain occurred Tuesday at San Gluseppe, Vesuviana and Saviano. When morning broke Tuesday the outlook was promising for an amelioration of the conditions consequent upon the activity of Mount Vesuvius. The hopefulness of the populace, however, was short-lived and the Neapolitans were plunged into a condition bordering on frenzy by the collapse of the Mount Oliveto market, which covered a plot of ground 600 feet square, the structure falling upon 200 or more persons, of whom 12 were killed and scores crushed and mangled. Naples.—Monday was a day of terror for the cities, towns and country about Mount Vesuvius. Unconfirmed reports place the number of dead and injured at several hundred, but not many facts can be obtained upon which to base an accurate estimate. Reports of fatalities consequent upon the eruption are coming in. According to information received last late night more than 200 perished in the district of San Guisepe, while from the ruins of a church which collapsed owing to the weight of ashes on the roof 49 corpses were extricated, and it is asserted that at Sorrento 37 persons were killed by falling houses. Almost equally with the devastation wrought by the lava is the damage done by cinders and ashes, which in incredible quantities have been carried great distances. This has caused the practical destruction of San Guisepe, a place of 6,000 inhabitants. Naples.—Conditions in the section affected by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius are greatly ameliorated. The fall of volcanic ash has diminished, and scientists express the opinion that the volcano has spent itself. All the papers advise the public to be calm, pointing out the improved condition of affairs. The papers also eulogize Director Matteucci for his courage in returning to the ruined observatory on Mount Vesuvius and sending from that place messages of encouragement and expressions of confidence that Vesuvius will soon quiet down. Monday afternoon Buchanan was given judgment for six dollars, the amount he would have earned providing he worked three days referred to. The court costs which fell on Heyse were about five dollars more, making a total expense to him of about $12. While we are on this matter it is well to say that caterers or other employers cannot under the law reduce the amount of pay promised waiters or others after the service has been rendered. This is often done however, and the same way Buchanan solved his problem, one that waiters are frequently and unfairly required to submit to. These two problems and others ought to be taken up by our Caterers' association and preparations made to put a stop to all of them. The inauguration of a movement to increase the pay of party waiters as well as others ought also to be considered. Eph Thompson, a member of the race who has been abroad 21 years traveling in many countries, and his trained elephants made such a hit at the Lyric theatre last week that it was found necessary to keep them there this week in order to meet the public clamor over them. In all its history the Lyric has never enjoyed such patronage as that of last week, and thus far this. In spite of the fact that three performances were given, enough people were turned away from each to have nearly filled the theater over again. Mr. Thompson and his colleague, whose clientele also led the Cleveland has seen some marvelously trained animals before, but none that can compare with them. It is not alone that they do seemingly impossible things, but the way in which these feats are accomplished lifts their act far above their rivals. The feats seem more the result of thought on the part of the elephants than mere training. None of the things which these elephants do is timeworn and most of their tricks are entirely new. They juggle with dumbbells, answer the telephone, conduct a barber shop, with one elephant stropping a razor with dextrous sweeps of his trunk, and like novel feats. The most astounding thing, however, is the somersault turned by one of the elephants in the accomplishment. Mr. Thompson and his elephants (for he owns them and others) will go through their wonderful performance twice every day at the Lyric for the rest of this week, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. It is safe to prophesy they will continue to pack the theater at every performance. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Simmons, of 15 Newton street. Cleveland, April 10.—By holding that the franchise of the Cleveland Electric Railway Co. for the operation of cars on Woodland avenue does not expire until February, 1908, the United States supreme court on Monday administered supreme defeat to Mayor Johnson in his effort to inaugurate three-cent fare in Cleveland. The decision means that the Forest City Railway Co. cannot, for two years at least, undertake to operate cars on that thoroughfare. It also strengthens the position of the street railway company in the fight it has been making and is disappointing to the mayor. Starlight's Buffet. A. D. BOYD, Prop.

A mailing stick that has probably traveled through American mails for a hundred thousand miles or more, going to and fro between Washington and various internal revenue offices, is in the possession of Collector Cham- berlain, waiting to start on another trip to the national capitol, states the Hawaiian Star of recent date. It is decorated nearly afl over with the stamps of revenue collectors from Honolulu to Brooklyn. The stick is used to wrap monthly reports around before they are mailed, and the col- lectors have a habit of putting their rubber stamps on it before remailing it. ‘The stick appears to have begun its career in October, 1892, by a trip to the collector at Cleeviand, 0. Since then it has been here twice, and has been one or more times to Arkansas, Illinois, New York, Texas, South Caro- lina, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, California, Tennessee, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan and Massachusetts. After each tfip there is a return to Wash ington with a report. ‘The department at Washington re- turns it with a report. The various collectors report monthly, so that the sticks are going all the time. “There are many of them going to and fro all the time,” said Collector Chamberlain, “and when they get, all covered over some one is likely to hold on to them as souvenirs.” watterer. “Lady,” said Meandering Mike, “I'd Uke to trust to yer generosity fur somethin’ to eat.” “You're the same man that I gave a meal to day before yesterday.” “Tam, I couldn't keep away from de cookin’."—Washington Star.

Mrs. Machelle Lyon, | six, the Washington, D. C.—Anarchism in the United States will be put down with a firm hand. ‘The information which has reached the government of. ficiais here that large numbers of Italian anarchists have arrived at San Francisco and Baltimore has resulted in the adoption of extreme measures to apprehend these men, While many have arrived in Baltimore and are making that city their headquar- ters, a number have gone to other places and the police have been noti- fied to be on the lookout for them. Tt was sald Wednesday at the de- ‘partment of commerce and labor that the Italian government, through its ‘consul at Baltimore, had furnished ‘the name of one man whom it regard- ‘ed as particularly dangerous, and the ‘immigration officials are | bending ‘every effort to capture him. It is be- leved here that he is the ringleader “tthe band. that has come to. this country through the port of Baltimore ‘and his apprehension is regarded as “of especial importance. Some idea of the character of the dealing may be gathered from a re- cent incident in San Francisco. With- in the past month an Italian was re. leased from prison in that city and upon being questioned by the immi- gration authorities openly declared that if he was allowed to pursue his course he would kill the president of ‘the United .States, The man was ‘taken in charge, conveyed across the “country to New York and deported to Italy. He would not disclose, how- “ever, that he was a member of the or ganizations whose presence here has placenta seat INDIANA REPUBLICANS CONVENE. Resolutions Committee Refuses to Endorse Gov. Hanly’s “House ‘Cleaainn” Policy: Mndianapolis, Ind.—Indiana_—_re- publicans on’ Wednesday opened a state convention to nominate candi- dates for all state offices except gov- emor, Heutenant governor and re- porter of the supreme court. Ad- dresses were delivered by Congress- man Abraham L. Brick, temporary chairman; Senators Beveridge and Hemenway and Gov. Hanly. ‘The convention adjourned until to- day, when the committees on rules, ‘organization and resolutions will re- ‘port. Nominations will follow. The Fesolutions committee, afior a session lasting three hours, ‘modified ‘the plank endorsing the administra- tion of Gov. Hanly which bad been ‘as adopted by the committee follows: “The present state administration from its inception has stood for the “wise enactment of laws and the fear- ‘less enforcement of laws enacted. It has been and is characterized by jeal- ‘ous regard for the tax paying public and for the promotion of hhish stand. ‘ards in the administration of public affairs. The administration will long be remembered by reason of the fidel- Ity and sturdy integrity of Gov. J. ‘Frank Hanly, whose administration ‘we most heartily and unreservedly ‘commend and endorse.” "The committee also refused to al- low a clause to appear endorsing the “house cleaning” policy of the gov- ernor. This sentence referred to the governor's ousting of Secretary of State Storms and Auditor of State David B. Sherrick, Sherrick ts now inthe penitentiary. EPIDEMIC IS UNCHECKED. Typhoid Fever Finds Scores of New Victims in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa.—Fifty-eleht cases of typhoid fever were reported ‘to the bureau of health on Wednes- day, ‘These were new cases that de- veloped within 24 hours. A new and more serious phase has come over the situation in the reports from the schools about the city. ‘There are about 1,000 pupils absent from school because of illness and a great many of them are suffering from typhoid. Superintendent of Schools Samuel Andrews attributes these cases to the ‘unfiltered city water supplied to the ‘schools. Congress.

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