THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 39. The Fashions of the Day Suitable for Mourning Wear There are yokes on everything, short yokes and yokes long enough to meet the corselet skirt; but, one way or another, blouse and even outside wrap must be cut up by gimp or the simulation thereof. The fancy waist here pictured seems to us most attractive, graceful and latest mode. All-over lace is used for the upper part, the lower portion is of soft messaline, a shade darker than the light-weight cloth skirt with which worn. The sleeves come well above the elbow and a band of trimming encircles the arm, giving a full puff at the shoulder. The collar is quite high, a point to note with this new style of blouse. In the street gown suggested, the princess coat is so cut up by trimming as to give the appearance of a bolero. The sleeves are very short, disclosing a puff of lingerie between coat cuff and long glove. Speaking of short sleeves for the street, have you seen the economical silk wristlet an entrepreneurial dealer has put forth? It is merely a long glove without covering for the hands, wrinkles its way from elbow to wrist, where it is met by the real glove. One pair will outwear many pairs of gloves and one need not feel so extravagant about having all one's sleeves abbreviated. Flat braid trimming is very much the thing for the tailored gown, for black, white or colored gown. So far we have seen no white serges on the street, but many very fetching ones have been made up for summer days. White will continue to be immensely popular, and a white wool or mohair frock is a fine thing to have in one's summer wardrobe; there are so many cool pleasant days when one wants to look summery and yet not blue-nosed, and such a frock as this answers the blue-nosed. Fine tucks look neat and trim and we find them employed a great deal on late frocks, much used for fitting in at the waist line bodice and princess. It takes an artist to do this In England the wearing of mourning is much more the rule than on this side; we would say unrelieved mourning is rather the exception here. Of late at the southern resorts where people are wont to flock during the days of early spring, during the impossible days of the northern spring, there were noticeable all-white mourning costumes. These costumes were very plain, severely tailored morning dresses and simply trimmed crepe de chine in the evening. The latter were relieved only by tucks or folds of self-material. This fashion of donning on sully dresses is a very sensible A MOURNING GOWN. one, black stuffs not only look hot and uncomfortable, but are so to a markedly unhealthful degree. The gown here illustrated is of black veiling with trimmings of crape. The model is one of the modified princess robes and exceptionally good. The chemisette is of net crepe folds on the corsage give a curve where otherwise there might be severity of appearance, and the robe is bordered by a band of crape; the rosettes on the bodice are made of this material, and down either side of the front panel are closely clustered crape covered buttons. This last detail may be omitted if considered too fussy. Sometimes puffs of chiffon are used sparingly in trimming a mourning dress, and dull black beads are worn as necklaces. Materials favored for mourning are volle, velling, pongee and a silk that is something between china In Union There Is Strength. well, but the result is most attractive when the skilled one has finished her work. How it is done we do not pretend to know, there are such cunningly hidden gores which come to a mere nothing at the waist and flare out most boudant below. The designers of the 1906 spring gowns have certainly shown much cleverness. The loveliest flesh tones are seen in millinery and gown materials, many variations played on creamy pinks and pinky creams. The so-called "banana" is something much more charming than one would think from the sound, and all the tans are in highest favor, bid fair to rout the much exploited grays of earlier prophecy. Biscuit color we have had with us several years, but the biscuit-colored cloth is as good this year as when first brought forward. Fashion may be capricious often, but she is not wholly flicker, when she finds a good thing holds on to it longer than given credit for. A hat shining splendid from a show window the other day was a lustrous horsehair whose color was neither yellow nor pink, but a mingling of both. The long plume was decidedly straw colored, the whole a very beautiful combination. This would be effective either as a suit hat or to wear with a white lace gown. With black it might prove too much of a contrast. It is surprising how much velvet is to be used this spring and summer. Short coats and bo尔os are to be made of it, and it is employed extensively for trimming. The idea appeals to us, velvet is so generally becoming and such a beautiful fabric in itself. Of light weight, lined with thinnest silk, it need not be so very warm; the little velvet coat may well have place in the summer outfit. The silk glove is fair rival to the kid as accompaniment to the elbow sleeve, and the shops are displaying long silk gloves in about every conceivable shade. They are most attractive and mold themselves to the arm so prettily. silk and pongee. White crepe de chine we have spoken of for the best gown, and of the trim white wash suits. Black pongee makes cool and neat little utility dresses for summer. Ribbons are either tafta or grosgrain, the plainest of belting is employed. Nowadays a waterproof crape is to be had and one that does not get limp and bedraggled after a little use. Concerning hats, mourning millinery is not so harsh as formerly, much soft tulle and maline are brought into play, and coarse nets used with good effect. Trim toques are made of draped crape, whose only trimming is rosettes of the material. If a hat that will afford some protection is desired, the popular French sail shape is selected and very simply trimmed with quill and rosette. Most comfortably cool hats are of maline, the trimming perhaps the same as the foundation of the hat, and always kept down to simplicity. Some short sleeves are seen on mourning dresses, but usually the three-quarter length is preferred. WOMAN WHO FINDS FLATS. Remunerative Occupation of an Enterprising Resident of New York. One of the busiest women in the city to-day is a professional flat finder, says the New York Sun. While she is an all the year around flat hunter, just now her entire attention devoted to hunting up quarters for women living in the suburbs or even so far away as Chicago who want to enjoy the delights of winter in New York. "You know yourself," said the flat hunter in explaining the need of her existence, "how the glowing descriptions of agents often turn out. "Bright, sunny rooms turn out to be dark, gloomy cells, and stylish furniture a rickety mess that you wouldn't use in your kitchen. With my knowledge of localities and agents I am able to secure some charming quarters for comparatively small commissions." A Daily Experience.

Former Lieutenant Governor and Congressman Seeks the Republican Nomination for Secretary of State. of the most brilliant receptions that any community in the state of Ohio has ever given its most popular and influential resident. The general will make an ideal candidate for secretary of state on the republican ticket this fall and it will be a pleasure for all classes of republicans to rally to 's support as never before because he is an old soldier, an aggressive republican of the "old school," a jurist, a statesman, far above all of the petty prejudices that dominate so many so called leaders of today. He would be a tower of strength as head of the ticket. Mr. Boyle afterward became private secretary to Governor and President Wm. McKinley, who appointed him consul at Birmingham, England, a position he resigned a few months ago. BEN. GOT I This Time, Good a Plenty, FROM BRAVE SEN. HOPKIN EX-CUBAN GIANTS.

Let there be more $500 suits and a more determined effort generally to compel all to recognize our citizen rights in public places under the law. The Latter "Cleans Up" and "Wipes the Floor" with the Blatherskite, Tillman. Washington, D. C.—Last week Thursday Senator Hopkins of Illinois, delivered the most bitter denunciation of a colleague that has been heard on the floor of the senate since the time of Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. He followed it up with a rough-and-tumble debate with one-eyed Ben Tillman in which it was the general agreement that he "cleaned up" the South Carolinian as he has never been "cleaned up" since he entered public life. When the incident closed, Hopkins was standing at his desk with flushed face and defiant and with a * "Once I dined with an English farmer. We had ham for dinner* * —a very delicious ham, baked. The farmer's son soon finished his portion, and passed his plate again. * "More 'am, father,' he said. * "The farmer frowned. 'Don't say, am, my son, he said; say 'am.' * "I did say 'am,' the lad protested, in an injured tone. * "You said 'am,' cried the father, fiercely. "Am's what it should be, 'Am, not 'am.' * "In the midst of the squabble the farmer's wife turned to me with a little deprecatory laugh, and said: * "They both think they're saying 'am'—(hain.)* * ***************************************************************** trilumphant attitude, while Tillman had sunk in his seat, speechless and completely beaten. The incident developed out of the attack which Tillman made on the enforcement of law in Illinois, and more particularly in Chicago, in the Walsh bank case. Hopkins defended the courts and administration of justice in his state, and followed it up with a denunciation of Tillman for publicly upholding the murder of Affermann in his state whose only crime was to afford torture to voicing constitutional prerogative of voting. Quite apart from the merits of the subject matter under discussion, there is intense feeling of satisfaction over the manner of Hopkins' attack on Tillman, and the evident result of finally and fully beating Tillman into a corner, where he was ready to admit, by manner and tone, that he was whipped. For days Tillman has launched forth into sensational discourses and attacks on different individuals and states. The senate tired of it long ago, but it must be admitted that Tillman has in effect, bulldozed the senate by his sharp tongue and brutal methods of speech talking back. The situation needed just such a personality, and just such a man as Senator Hopkins to meet it. He fought Tillman with his own weapons—bitter denunciation, open and expressed contempt in tone and manner and explicit and repeated charges of unfairness and demagogy, which Tillman could not avoid. More power to Hopkins! THE GREATEST ACT On the Stage Today—Mr. Eph Thompson and His Elephants—Personal Mention, Etc.

He will return to Europe with pleasure when the time has elapsed as he has had quite enough of American prejudice from both his own and the white people.

TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL Cleveland, Saturday, April 28, 1906. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. "YES, SIR," AND "NO, SIR." A city inspector, while on one of his rounds through Memphis, Tenn., accosted an Afro-American cook to know who she was and where she lived. Being asked "was that her place of residence where she was then," she replied "no." Being asked whether she had any manners, she replied "yes." "Well, then," demanded the inspector, "why do you not use your manners?" The woman again responded "I do." "Well, then," rejoined the inspector, "can't you say yes, sir, and no, sir?" "Oh," replied the woman, "I don't need to do so." At once the inspector exclaimed, "I have none of your impudence! I have you arrested." "For what?" asked the woman. "I'll not stand your insolence and abuse," exclaimed the officer. Whereupon he blew his whistle. The city police at once appeared. The woman was arrested and led to the station house, with "the charge of assault laid against her. She was held for trial the next day. Happily, fortune favored the poor woman. She told a plain and simple story to the magistrate which elicited the sympathy and attention of the court. Witnesses were heard, and two white women being in an adjoining house at the time of her encounter with the inspector, testified and corroborated the statement of the cook, that she gave no impudence, nor did she in any instance jesent the treatment of the inspector. She merely said yes and no, and on account of which she was arrested and imprisoned with the charge of assault against her. Such is life in southland, and the unfortunates were to illiterate to afford a consideration reciprocal in their relations to each other. One was arbitrary and cruel while both were illiterate, but the woman was discharged, even without a reprimal. GEN. KEIFER WILL NOT EVADE DUTY. The southern papers may exercise themselves in doing all they can to arouse public feeling against Representative Keifer's reduction bill. The bill, however, is only a matter of business and duty, designed to correct any irregularity causing friction between the states under the rudimentary law. To allow such an irregularity to continue would be an encroachment upon the rights and liberties of the people. The country beholds the iniquity and a leader rises to wipe it out. Where is the consistency on the part of those who profess themselves loyal to the principles of good government and why should the wrong remain as a blot upon our national escutcheon? It is plain to common sense and reason that the Afro-American is a citizen before the law, and it is a fact that in a number of the southern states he has been disfranchised. By such disfranchisement there remains an amount of representation in congress not due. A reduction of representation becomes then an absolute necessity, and unless this is done congress and the government are remiss in the discharge of their duty and are participem criminis to an immense public wrong to the people. Honorable and brave men cannot afford to share in this wrong. The national congress cannot fold its arms upon it, but so long as nothing is done to regulate the present interior workings of our governmental system the responsibility and the blame must rest with the lawmaking men in authority. Delegated by the people to legislate fairly and in keeping with the powers of the constitution, any hesitancy on the part of congress betrays an unpardonable timidity or a criminality which should not be condoned. By a provision of our national constitution which Gen. Keifer is sworn to support, he signals the will of a powerful constituency, the spirit of which is but the expression of the loyal and fair dealing element of the well meaning classes of the masses. It is the law of righteous dealing for which we contend. THE WORK OF THE MOB. The terrible work of the mob in burning the bodies of three Afro-Americans in Springfield, Mo., reveals more clearly the brutal tendency to which human nature is surely drifting. It is bad enough to realize this awful fact, and it becomes the more alarming to believe that in the United States, as in no other country on the globe, such a state of feeling exists. The cause for this abnormal and vicious state of affairs emanates from the dehumanizing influence of American slavery, whose every touch for nearly three centuries has served to warp and vitiate man's moral nature. Especially is it true of those who were the active conservators of the evil, the worst that ever cursed a nation. The mob of Springfield was most beastly and inhuman, in so far that it vented the worst passions in its insane desire to take human life. Regardless of the sacred injunctions of law, the people's only safeguard, the spirit of defiance and lawlessness held sway against every appeal to reason and justice. The homes of the defenseless poor were destroyed, the jail and the dwelling apartment of the sheriff were damaged more than $3,000. But that which was most horrifying and excruciating was the brutal treatment accorded the prisoners. Unwilling to allow the law to have its course, bad men contented themselves to become miscreants and demons as a heritage to their children and their posterity. Little heed seems yet to be given to these darling outrages against civil authority, and dread seems to be felt for the safety and future of the country. The nation will realize what it has not yet discovered. The warning is already given in the open defiance of law and in the plundering of the most sacred claims of the people's government. It is shocking to witness the blind and calous indifference so long and too long sustained on the part of those delegated to maintain the authority of government and law. It is astounding to see with what complacency the strong and loyal friends of good government content themselves in the face of the spirit of a growing anarchy, which every day brings us nearer the threshold of revolt and dissolution. Every outbreak of the mob is a training school from which men qualify themselves to become rebels and traitors. Men, women and children are training themselves to propagate ideas of disaffection and treason against their own government. Already the spirit of universal lawlessness has reached the masses. Who stands responsible and who shall be asked to answer? We answer, it is the heads and ruling power of the states and of the nation. It is the men who are entrusted with the authority of law and the power of government. Congressman Keifer and Senator Foraker Washington, D. C.-Gen. J. Warren Keifer is trying to force a consideration of the reduction of southern congress representation by circulating a petition for a caucus of republican house members. Good! A committee of the Suffrage league, of which ex-Congressman White is chairman, has undertaken the task of having the Hepburn bill so amended in the senate as to authorize the Inter-state Commerce Commission to regulate and prevent discriminations of persons as well as things. A large number of senators have indicated amendment of this nature, and Senators Foraker, Knox, Dick and Crane appear to be deeply interested. These influential members of the upper house of congress have assured Mr. White and his committee that the rate bill will not be permitted to come to a vote to the amendment they desire to be made a part of the bill is introduced in the senate and voted upon. Again, good! The True Reformers' Trouble The True Reformers Trouble. Richmond, Va.-The True Reformers are having trouble with Mrs. Browne-Smith, the widow of the founder of the Owner Rev. W. W. Browne. Some years ago, the grand gaudoun vowed to Rev. Browne for two copyrights $80,000, which he dying, willed to his widow. Of this amount she has received $29,500 but for the last three years has been paid nothing. She now threatens a lawsuit to secure the remainder. The officers of the order are in a quandary for their order was shut out of the District of Columbia by the insurance commissioners largely on the ground that the $29,500 paid Mrs. Browne-Smith was an improper diversion of money held in trust and should be replaced by the officers. The only way to raise the balance due her seems to be to sue the officers of the grand gaudoun; but there is a question whether such a tax could be enforced. Thorns and Roses The business of publishing an Afro-American newspaper is by no means one of unmixed joy. Perhaps the chief distress of Afro-American editors, who are often talented and ambitious, is the consciousness of high ideals which the resources at their command are utterly insufficient to realize. They find themselves obliged in order to make ends meet, to print columns of stuff which they know is perfectly worthless and to exclude or remove the utterly impersonal. Some of us believe that with equal financial support we could produce newspapers not much inferior to the best white papers; but such beliefs are at present and are likely to remain for a considerable time to come almost hopelessly Utopian.—N.

BLACK PORTIONS SHOW PARTS OF CITY WIPED OUT BY EARTH-QUAKE AND FIRE. Food is in Plentiful Supply—The Mayor Requests That Only Unperishable Food be Sent. San Francisco, April 26—At 3:15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon a number of earthquake was felt. It lasted nearly a minute and caused considerable alarm and one woman was killed. A number of walls of buildings which were burned were thrown down and frail buildings were considerably shaken up, but the damage done was slight. The shock was felt in Oakland and Berkeley, but in these places it was very slight and of brief duration. An idea of the task which confronts the food commission may be gained from that company, rations for 349,440 persons were distributed Tuesday. This is an average estimate based on reports from a few of the food depots. At one point provisions were given out to 672 persons an hour for ten hours. This station is neither one of the largest nor one of the smallest, and so its reports were used as a basis to strike an average. All flour that was received in sacks is exchanged at bakeries pound for pound for bread. Almost all the bakeries in the unburned region have opened and are selling bread at five cents a loaf. There is no danger of a meat famine. Representatives of the Western Meat Co. in south San Francisco reported to the relief committee Wednesday morning that there are now in the yards 1,500 cattle, 3,000 sheep and 500 hogs. More than 200 cattle are killed and dressed daily and sheep and hogs are put under the knife as fast as they arrive. The full quota of employees is at work. Wholesale grabbing of supplies by some, while others are in want, has BLACK PORTIONS SHOW PARTS QUAKE AREA caused the military authorities to order a new system in the distribution of food. Beginning Thursday kitchens and mess rooms will be established where meals will supplied to all, but no food will be given out to be carried away. In the distribution of clothing, precautions against fraud will be taken by squads detailed to visit each tent or shelter and list the occupants and tabulate their wants. Orders will be given out entailing the holders to the needed clothing, bedding or other stores. Pitiful stories of suffering from exposure, ignorance and helplessness during the relief committee from all sides. Of the great refuge camps that in the Presidio, which is under government control, seems most thoroughly systematized, and that in Golden Gate park most disorganized, though it is rapidly assuming a habitable basis. The surgeon in charge of the general hospital at the Presidio states that his force is perfectly organized and that 75 members of the army nurse corps are due at the Presidio from Chicago Thursday. They will be in the Presidio and Presidio emergency hospitals of the city. Since the beginning of the calamity 20 deaths have occurred in the general hospital. That San Francisco is to be rebuilt on better and more beautiful lines is indicated by the fact that James D. Phelan, chairman of the Improvement association of San Francisco, Tuesday dispatched telegrams to Architect Daniel V. Burnham and his assistant to San Francisco, immediately to San Francisco to take up the work planned two years ago. San Francisco, Cal.-Had, it not Refused to Accept a Compromise Wheeling, W. Va.—The miners of the Fifteenth Ohio sub-district, against the advice of many of their leading members, on Tuesday refused to accept the compromise proposition offered by the Lorain Coal and Dock Co. The strike will be continued. China's Ruler Contributes $70,000. Pekin, China—The empress dowager has sent to the American legal court for $50,000 for the relief of the sufferers from the disaster at San Francisco and is sending $20,000 to the Chinese in that city. A Fatal Explosion in a Mine. Cannonsburg, Pa. — Seven men were injured, two fatally, by an explosion of powder Thursday in the Hazel coal mine of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Co. On their trip into the mine one of the men carried a quantity of blasting powder wrapped in a paper. The flame of his lamp came in contact with the powder and an explosion resulted. Darliumia Discoverer Is Killed. Radium's Discoverer is Kemel Paris, France.—Prof. Curle, the discoverer of radium, was run over and killed by a wagon here Thursday. been for the sight of the rude altars set up in the open wherever San Francisco's homeless thousands were camped, one would have had some difficulty in finding any of the peaceful associations of the Sabbath in this city Sunday. Everywhere throughout the burned as well as the remaining section of the city there was the greatest activity. Streets were being lit of debris, laborers were repairing broken water pipes, sewers and gas mains, electricians everywhere were seeking to untangle the confusion of wires—in fact, San Francisco was in the first stages of its regeneration. There are no hungry people, the gaunt spectre of starvation has been banished by the magnificent response of the people of California in particular and by the entire nation in general to appeals that went out for assistance. Food by the carload and boat-load poured into Oakland Saturday night and Sunday in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of which has charge of its distribution. The water situation, while causing inconvenience to the people, is no longer such a problem. About two-thirds of the section of the city which was not burned is being supplied with sufficient water for the pressing domestic needs, but, of course, there is not yet enough to be had for fire fighting purposes. The total number of bodies recovered and buried up to Sunday night was five hundred and fifty-five, at this time, as many bodies have been buried without permits from the coroner and the board of health. The Associated Press representatives covered the entire area of the burned section Sunday. The circumference of the area of the great conflagration as near as could be ascertained by the marking of a cyclometer is 26 miles, and comprises the entire business district, all of which was densely populated. By competent insurance authorities that the loss will aggrigate $200,000,000, and of this vast amount of property the insurance companies carried approximately $175,000,000 insurance. San Francisco, Cal. — The new San Francisco that will rise from the ashes of the old was on Monday in its first stages of rebuilding. After five days of confusion and almost superhuman effort in the great task of sheltering, feeding and otherwise caring for the homeless thousands, complete order has been issued and attention turned to the future. Throughout the great business quarter, where the devastation by fire was the most complete, dangerous walls OF CITY WIPED OUT BY EARTH- ND FIRE. were razed, buildings that had not been disintegrated by fire were inspected with a view of reoccupancy and ground was cleared for the immediate erection of buildings in which to resume business at the earliest possible moment. The generally encouraging situation temporarily suffered a setback early Monday because of a chilling rain which fell on the thousands protected only by canvas coverings and even the rain caused considerable suffering for the time being, conditions were quickly ameliorated by the prompt action of every relief committee, as well as by the voluntary acts of householders. Homeless people were fed in a systematic manner. From the water front, where the boatloads of provisions docked, there was an endless procession of carts and drays carrying food to the 52 sub-stations established throughout the city and the parks. At these stations food and drink, comprising bread, prepared meats and canned goods, milk and a few other items, were served to all those who applied. About 1,500 tons of provisions are moved daily from the water front. Large supplies of blankets, tentings and other material to provide coverings for those who have been scantily supplied are reaching the supply stations rapidly. Barracks have been completed at several points and in these many persons have found comfort and shelter against the inclement weather. The barracks in the congested camps, such as Gold En gate park and the various public squares throughout the city, has been considerably relieved by the departure of many persons for points on the Nineteen Were Killed. Trinidad, Col.-It was officially announced at the office of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. here Monday that the number of miners killed by the explosion at Quarto on Sunday was 19. Three men taken from the mine unconscious and at first supposed to be dead will recover. Died at the Age of 118 Years. London, England—The death was announced in County Tyrone, Ireland, Monday, of George Fletcher, the old man, who was far as known He was 118 years old. Receiver Appointed. Trenton, N. J.-The court of chancery on Monday appointed Charles M. Myers, of Newark, receiver of the Telegraph and Telephone Company of America, a large holding company with $30,000,000 capital stock. The liabilities are placed at $25,526. The assets are $2,951,171. Ship Foundered—34 Lives Lost Dover, England. — The Belgian training ship Count De Smet de Naeyer foundered off Prawle Point Monday. Her captain and 33 of those who were on board were drowned. other side of the bay. While the number of persons leaving the city is nothing like the vast crowds that packed the ferryboats during the first two days following the earthquake, the number was sufficiently large to sat the relief committee that its task will be less difficult from day to day. General health conditions are satisfactory. While the number of cases at the various hospitals has increased each day, sickness is mostly due to exposure and worry. The most encouraging feature is the absence of anything like contagion or an epidemic of disease of any nature. The following telegram from J. C. Stubbs, traffic director of the Southern Pacific railway, was sent Monday to Assistant Traffic Director McCormick in Chicago: "Please ask the press generally to advise all people not to try to reach San Francisco. Outsiders are not allowed to land here. They would only add to the congestion of the cities around the bay and it would be impaired to them to locate anyone. All the people are being well taken care of and there will be no trouble if supplies are kept coming. The condition of the 500 persons camped in Jefferson square is terrible. Not more than 5 per cent. have even an army tent, and makeshifts are constructed of carpets, bed sheets and every imaginable substance. H. C. Tilden, one of the most prominent members of the general relief committee, was shot and almost instantly killed in his automobile Monday morning at Twenty-second and Guerrero streets while returning from Menlo park. He was shot by members of the citizens' patrol. Hugo Alschull, a coachman, who was in the automobile, was cut in the face by a bullet and another ball pierced the seat and struck in the back of R. G. Seaman, acting lieutenant of the second company of the signal corps. Seaman was a prominent commission merchant of this city and was one of the foremost workers in the general relief work. The three men under arrest are E. S. Boynton, a telephone inspector, George W. Simmons and Malcolm Vance. They are all young men and members of the citizens' patrol. Boynton declares that he did not see the Red Cross flag on Tilden's car and when the latter did not stop when challenged he fired. The coachman in the car then began shooting and Simmons and Vance replied. San Francisco, Cal.-Tuesday was the second day of the earthquake jarred the city and started the fires that laid it in ashes, and as on the preceding days, Tuesday took up the accumulated impetus of Monday and added much volume of force of its own, so that Wednesday dawns on a situation that is a long way towards the normal. One of the gruesome scenes that followed the fire was that witnessed on Telegraph and Russian hills and along the entire North Beach front of the city Tuesday morning when scores of half starved dogs were found eating human bodies. The animals were discovered gnawing and tearing at the corpses half buried in the ruins. Where only a leg or an arm protruded the dogs were digging for the rest of the body. All morning, rifle reports could be heard on the hillside and along the beach as the dogs were killed. Men were pressed into service either to help the dogs or to throw the bay. In a few places smoldering fires were found and there it was possible to cremate the animals. It was not believed that there were so many dead in the ruins of Telegraph and Russian hills until the dogs were found there digging for the bodies. Coroner Walsh estimates that the total number of dead will not be less than 1,000. His reports are complete and his estimate is made up from all the data he has been able to collect. No thorough search has been made of the district where Market street or other nearby quaint towns. Many must have been lost in these sections. South of Market street are the cheap lodging houses and many of these collapsed from the earthquake. There is little chance that half of the inmates of the collapsed buildings had opportunity to escape. Conditions at the Presidio are being rapidly reduced to a systematic basis. The great excitement following the earthquake and fire have subsided and the efforts of the authorities are now directed to the organization a perseverance for the control of huge sands of people who have sought refuge within the reservation. During the past few days thousands have left the reservation, having found homes with friends in this city or gone to Oakland, Alameda or other places. The number of campers on the grounds has now been reduced to less than 8,000. A few days ago over 30,000 persons were camped on the reservation. Excess tents will be taken to other camps throughout the city and distributed. In a few days tenture sufficient to house 150,000 persons will arrive in this city. Temporary structures have been erected in Golden Gate park for the housing of 40,000 people. This work was commenced Tuesday by the shelter committee. The seizure of all vacant houses in the unburned district is still under way. Many vacant flats have been taken, where the homeless are housed and the sick given accommodations. New York State Donates $250,000. Albany, N. Y. — Both houses of the legislature Monday night, acting upon the recommendation of Gov. Higgins in a special message passed a bill appropriating $250,000 for the relief of the people of San Francisco and the state of California. The Tenth Victim Dies Washington, D.

Bataiay, N. Y.—Before an ecclesiastical tribunal in the Batavia court house Rev. Algernon S. Crapsy, rector of St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal church, Rochester, N. Y. Wednesday listened to the first testimony on the charges made against him of heresy and violation of his ordination vows. A motion of counsel for the defense for a postponement of the hearing was denied by the court and the examination of witnesses was begun at the Wednesday afternoon session. John L. O'Brian, of Buffalo, is leading counsel for the prosecution. Dr. Crapsy is represented by Congressman James B. Perkins, of Rochester, and Edward M. Shepard, of New York City. The book of common prayer was introduced in evidence as one of the principal pieces of documentary evidence against Dr. Crapsy, as well as a book of his own writings, or sermons, published by him under the title "Religion and Politics." There is no dispute as to what Dr. Crapsey said. The question that will be at issue upon that trial is whether his questioned preachings do or do not violate the doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal church. The presentment against him contains 15 extracts from his book, the charge being that he intentionally expressed disbelief in these doctrines of the church: The divinity of Christ, the Conception of the Holy Ghost, the Virgin Birth, the Bodily Resurrection, and the Trinity. COAL AND OIL. Hearing of Testimony by Inter-State Commerce Commission. Washington, D. C. — When the hearing before the inter-state commerce commission in the investigation being conducted under the Tillman-Gillespie coal and oil resolution was resumed Wednesday, A. C. Fulmar was the first witness called. He said he was formerly in the coal business near Morgantown, W. Va. He stated he leased some coal property from G. C. Sturgis, who, he said, was president and the principal stockholder in the Morgantown & Kingwood railway, which connects with the Baltimore & Ohio at Morgantown. A spur track connected Mr. Fulmar's mine with the Morgantown & Kingwood road. He said the road passed into the railroad and understood that it went to Stephen B. Elkins. Davis Elkins, he said, became president of the road. He said the Elkins opened some mining property near Morgantown, but not on the Morgantown & Kingwood railroad. He was asked as to what cars he obtained after that. He said he could not get as many as he wanted. He gave the number of cars furnished him during 1903 up to June, after which he said he got none, because they refused to let him have any. It was claimed, he said, that the branch was as in dangerous condition of the branch had been torn up. The witness said the Elkins mines got cars after he had not been able to get any.

Mr. Jackson with his interesting family of three, a wife and two young daughters, is a resident of Quincy, Mich. He was born near Cadiz, this state, and taught school there three years beginning when 17 years of age. He commenced preaching at 19 and entered the evangelistic work at 20. Rev. Mr. Jackson is one of the best evangelists in the field. For years he was a member of the Quaker church but now is connected with the church. At 15 years he has been engaged exclusively in white congregations of his church in Michigan and with great acceptability and success. Rev. Jackson has traveled through several states, and for the first time in the period mentioned is doing evangelistic work among his own people. Our local pastors are gi'ing their presence and support to the union revival meeting at Antioch church and are urging their members to do likewise. The result is the meetings are exceptionally successful and very much being accomplished. Being accomplished Evangelist Jackson's singing like his preaching is above the average. Mrs. Jackson arrived from Michigan the first of the week and is of material assistance (singing) to her husband in his work.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. WHAT AILED JACK'S STEED. He Had "Trimmed" the Old "Craft" Shipshape to Facilitate Navigation. With many a hitch of his trousers and pulls at his forelock in respectful salute to justice, Jack Collins, able seaman, was navigated up to the court-round railing on a machine on a charge of cruelty to animals. "He had a paving-stone tied to the tail of the horse he was riding, your worship," said the officer who had arrested him. "What was that for?" sternly asked the magistrate. "Well, admiral, that wasn't no cruelty to animals, as this officer says, at all, blurted out Jack. "hired that bony craft outside for a short cruise ashore. Soon after getting under way I found the bloomin' old packet wouldn't steer a little bit. She was all down by the head and tacked about the street when the wind was fair astern. Try as I would I couldn't get steady steerage way on her, and she drifted to windward just as often as she did to leeward. Then, thinks I she's too light by the stern, as her heels were constantly liftin' and racing just for all the world like our propellers on the ship when she tosses on a big sea. She wants more weight aft," says an old shipmate of mine that I met, and then I just got him to help me come to an anchor while shipped a little ballast and that's all, your worship. All shipshap and above-board, and no reason in the world why this blue and brass-bound corvette here should have overhauled me at all." "Dismissed," said the justice, after Jack had agreed to jettison the ballast and taken the "craft" home in "tow" which meant lead the ancient steed back to the stable. GAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER. How the Late John Hay Displayed His Aptitude for the LAW. When the late Secretary Hay applied for admission to the Army of Illinois he was summoned to appear before a committee of prominent Chicago lawyers to be examined as to his qualifications, relates the American Spectator. He went to the place appointed and the committee assembled; but for a long time they took no notice of the young candidate, but continued to talk vigorously together on various subjects. At last one of the lawyers, turning to him, said, "Mr. Hay, what would you do if a client should come to you with such a case as this?" and he proceeded to describe very elaborately a complicated legal case. "Promptly replied to a retaining fee of $30," promptly replied to Hay, "and叫 to call-morrow." "Mr. Hay, you are admitted," said the gentleman, and with a hearty laugh from all present the proceedings closed. Garfield Tea keeps the digestive organs in condition.

Cincinnati, O. — The legislative investigation of corruption in Cincinnati was resumed Tuesday by the Drake committee. Burton C. Hollister, one of the first witnesses, testified that he had been told by Alex Cunningham, president of the Lahrig Coal Co., that before the company was able to secure a contract with the city it had been necessary to give money to Councilman Michael Mullen. After handing a package of money, which the witness thought contained either $1,500 or $2,500, to Mullen, Cunningham, it would to visit the city hall. There Cunningham signed a contract for coal. Testimony by Isaac M. Jordan tended to confirm Hollister's statement. Cunningham was served with a subpena to appear as a witness, but did not respond. E. O. Eshelby, president, and John L. Steele, business manager of the Commercial-Tribune, and C. H. Rembold, manager of the Times Star, testified to the payment to county sheriffs of commissions on collections for county advertising. Similar testimony was given by Col. Markbreit, publisher of the Volksblatt, who considered such payments a hardship, and especially in view of the fact that public advertising rates were lower than to other advertisers. All Cincinnati councilmen have been paid their full salaries of $1,150 a year whether they attended council meetings or not. For six years the pay of the council have shown no absence, though Attorney Roettinger, of the Lexow committee, declared before the committee that the councilmen have received $7,999.50 more than entitled to. Cincinnati, Ohio. — The probing of the Drake committee Wednesday brought out the fact that Cox and Garry Herrmann had agreed to take $50,000 for a telephone franchise in Cincinnati. John J. Downey and Sol P. Kineon sought the franchise. They had extensive telephone interests in Kentucky and wanted to enter Cincinnati. They testified before the Lexowers Wednesday.

Two Relate their Experiences. Mrs. A.E.G. Hyland The "change of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who neglects the care of her mother invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. Cancerers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregular heartbeat, variable appetite, weakness, inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to attend a special event and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant before her decease, and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely given to sick women. Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I had been suffering with displacement of the organs for years and was passing through a period of illness.
