THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 1. SEIZED A FORTRESS Fight Lasts All Day—600 Are Reported Killed—Mutineers Still in Possession of Fort. Helsingfors, Finland. — The most serious mutiny within the Russian empire occurred Tuesday at Sveaborg fortress, the strong fortress which guards Helsingfors harbor. Fighting of the fiercest nature continued between the mutineers, assisted by the artillery, and the loyal infantry. Up to noon the casualties numbered over 600. The ships took part in the fighting and bombarded the fortress. The reports of the cannon could be heard for miles. Inhabitants of the city and the surrounding country fled. The cause of the mutiny is reported to have been the death of a soldier in the battalions of sappers and miners. His comrades claimed that the death was due to ill-treatment. They rose, and were joined by the artillerymen. Together they outnumbered the local infantry troops, who were supported by their officers. The infantry from the Skatuden barracks, which stands on the sea front in Helsingfors, were immediately ordered out. Nine torpedo vessels living at anchorage off the city thereupon opened with their rapid-firing guns against the barracks, shooting over the heads of the people gathered upon the sea front and causing a tremendous panic. A general strike was declared in Helsingfors by the socialist workmen Tuesday. All factories have been closed. At last accounts Sweaborg is entirely in the hands of the mutineers, who now have in their possession every kind of armament. Horrible scenes occurred during Tuesday night when the fierce fighting was continued. Contributed His Dollar. New York.—President Roosevelt has contributed one dollar to the national republican congressional committee's campaign fund. The contribution was sent in response to a general appeal for one dollar contributions. The president's letter to Chairman Sherman, of the congressional committee, says: "I have your letter of the 24th instant and enclosures. I send my dollar. I think it an admirable plan, and I congratulate you upon the success that bids fair to attend the movement." Will Reduce Passenger Rates. Philadelphia, Pa. — Important changes in passenger rates were announced Tuesday by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. The company has decided to reduce the maximum one-way fares from 3½ and 3 cents to 2½ cents a mile on traffic east of Pittsburg and Erie. The company will increase fares to 1,000-mile tickets, valid only on its lines east of Pittsburg and Erie, at the flat price of $20. These mileage tickets will be transferable. Four Men Killed. Newark, N. J.-Four men were killed and a fifth man is missing as a result of an explosion of gun cotton in the works of the Cooper Chemical Co. on the outskirts of the city, Tuesday. The known dead are: Albert Stark, Charles Zoetzel, Max Mer. Linger and Antonio Buchwald. The missing man's name is not known. It is believed that he was blown to pieces. The building was totally destroyed. Ohio Men Drowned. Michigan City, Ind. — Clarence Hicks and Wesley Martin, both of Dayton, O., were drowned in Lake Michigan, here, Tuesday. They boarded a raft and when the raft started to drift out in the lake attempted to swim. They were selved with cramps and sank within a few feet of the raft. Died at Age of 90. Hartford, Conn. — Dwight Slate, one of the most prominent mechanical experts in the country, died here Tuesday, aged 90 years.

Quick Work Mayfield, Ky. — Allen Mathias, the negro arrested on the charge of assaulting Miss Ethel McLane, in this city, was found guilty of assaulting a legally hanged 55 minutes after the jury that tried him was sworn in. Killed by Lightning Bolt.

Clyde Xanders, who was standing near Lorton, was knocked senescles by the bolt, but will recover. Nominated for Governor In Union There is Strength. A BRIGHT PROSPECT. Leaders in the Iron Trade Speak with Less Reserve Concerning 1907—Iron Age Sums Up Condition of Market. New York—The Iron Age says: Simultaneously with reports of a further access of strength in all the pig iron markets of the country, comes the statement of the United States Steel Corporation, showing the largest quarter's earnings in its history. Leaders in the trade now speak with less reserve concerning early 1907, after having for some time limited their predictions of good times to 1906. The volume of orders on the steel corporation's books on June 30, 6,809,589 tons, is the largest mid-year total it has been able to report. Pig iron has been the feature of the week's market. In the east the buying movement in basic iron that was well under way a week ago carried the total purchases of the fortnight above 125,000 tons, some estimates reaching 150,000 tons. The remarkable fact about it is that consumers provided for their needs for the balance of the year with an advance between the first and the last buying of but 25 cents. Foundry iron markets are advancing. Southern irons are 25 cents to 30 cents higher. In the Buffalo district a further advance of 50 cents was made and eastern Pennsylvania makers have marked up their figures. Finished material markets show unusual mid-summer activity, distributed all along the line. At Chicago railroads have entered large orders for track supplies. Rail buying for the week has been light. MINE EXPLOSION Causes the Death of Two People In a Pennsylvania Town. Wilkesharre, Pa.—A terrific explosion occurred in the mine of the Warrior Run Coal Co. at Warrior Run, near here, Wednesday, and John Shu-maker, a miner, was instantly killed. Through crevices formed in the surface by the explosion the gas escaped from the workings below into the houses situated over the mine and, coming into contact with a lighted lamp in the home of John Williams, caused another explosion which resulted in the death of his daughter, Margaret, aged 16 years. The settling of the earth also affected the water mains of the village and as a consequence the home of Williams and an adjoining house were totally destroyed. The town was in total darkness, as use escaping gas made the use of lights extremely hazardous. Becoming Grave. Victoria, B. C.-Advices received by the Empress of Japan say the rising in Kiangland and Chekiang provinces is becoming a grave movement, and many believe the rising will assume similar proportions to the Taliping rebellion. Hein Cheng Hsien, a large walled city, was captured by the rebels and looted. A garrison of 5,000 was left to prepare the city to withstand a siege by imperial troops. Several corps of imperial troops have been dispatched. The Roman Catholic and the Protestant churches and churches, though the native pastors escaped, six converts were murdered. Large bodies of disbanded soldiers are affiliated with the rebels. Cummins Nominated Des Moines, Ia. — Gov. Albert B. Cummins was nominated for re-election by the republican state convention in a harmonious session that belled all prognostications of a possible split in the state party over control for the head of the state ticket. A full state ticket was nominated, most of the candidates being nominated by acclamation. But One Higher. Denver, Col.-The Argentine General railroad, from Silver Plume on the Colorado & Southern railroad to the summit of Mount McClellan on Gray's Peak, was opened for traffic Wednesday. This road reaches a point 14,000 feet above the sea level and is the highest traction road in the world, with the exception of the Peruviian Central, in the Andes. Registration for Lands Cheyenne, Wyo.—The total registration for lands in the Shoshone reservation, which closed Tuesday evening, is 10,583. The greatest registration _was_ at Shoshon, where were registered 4,453. The registration has been much smaller than was anticipated. Assassinated. St. Petersburg. — The report of the murder of M. Herzenstein, the former members of the outlawed parliament, in which he was a prominent leader of the constitutional democrats, is confirmed. He was assassinated at his country house near Terioki, Finland. Noted Geographer Dier Washington, D. C.-Prof. A. H. Thompson, of the United States geological survey, died in this city Tuesday, 10 years. He was a noted geographer. Receipts and Expenditures Washington, D. C.—The monthly comparative statement of the government receipts and expenditures, issued Wednesday, shows that for the month of July, 1906, the total receipts were $65,229,852 and the expenditures $65,813,731, leaving a deficit for the month of $13,514,869. Caused by Alcoholism Youngstown, O.—An unidentified man was found dying in a ravine Wednesday morning by the police. His death at the police station was attributed to alcoholism. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1906. Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey's Protest—Barr the Paper From Your Homes. The News is an American newspaper. It stands for and advocates the loftiest American ideals. The News recognizes merit wherever it may be found. The son of a beggar is lauded with as much enthusiasm, when he accomplishes something worthy, as the son of a millionaire. The same hope is held out for the man who works with his hands as the man who works with his brain. The News is essentially a home paper. We can recommend it to every family. Every family should take a daily paper that makes good impressions upon the mind of the children. A good newspaper helps to educate. It helps to inspire one to live a useful life and keeps him in touch with the events that mould public opinion.—Nahum Brascher. Now let us see how the Cleveland Daily News "stands for and advocates the loftiest American ideals" and why it should "be recommended to every family." etc. The following is from that paper of July 12, and was written in Washington, D. C., by one Lee F. Heacock (of Georgia), a reporter on its local staff: "Detroit may have her knockers, Chicago her drunken anarchists and St. Louis her noisy Missouri roustabouts, but for genuine disagreeableness the Washington bleachers have them all faded. Composed of Negroes who have paid 25 cents for the privilege of abusing white men, unkledged, they just busy themselves with this pastime throughout the game. "Negroes in Washington are the most independent in the country. Having heard orateors spouting liberty, equality and the fraternity of the races in congress for so many years, together with the fact that Bocker T. Washington dined with President Roosevelt, it has swelled up the dingy patriots beyond all endurance, and the ball park is about the only place where they may take liberties unrestrained in their speech to white men. The result is that Washington's cheekers are known all over the circuit as the toughest in the league. "The grandstandest, however, is just the opposite. Many of royal blood, together with prominent statesmen, are numbered among the patrons of the game at Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth frequently attend the games when they are in Washington." "Dingy patriots" and "take liberties unrestrained in their speech to white men!" Fine language for a paper that Brascher says "makes good impressions upon the minds of the children," has "the loftiest American ideals," believes in a "square deal" and "stands for progress and success, and steadily advocates things that bring such results." Possibly this applies to white persons only. It certainly has not entered into the News' treatment of local Afro-Americans. How many have forgotten that paper's abuse of our people last winter when the "Smart Set" Co. was here at the Cleveland theatre and the mongrel terms "coon," "darkey," "moke" "blackbirds," and the like were used in referring to members of our race? And this is the paper Brascher says has such lofty ideals and that he would recommend to the Afro-Americans of this community. Great God! The fellow will bear watching who would do a thing. He, evidently, has not been in Cleveland long enough to learn that there are self-respecting Afro-Americans here by the hundreds who know an insult of the most agravating kind when it is offered, and also know how to resent it, even if some individuals do not. If The News ever expects to enter the homes of our people it must stop the use of the mongrel terms and references quoted above and others like them, and cling closer to its alleged lofty ideals, etc. etc. Let it treat our people as fairly as it does other classes. A leading member of the race who lives in Washington, D. C., wrote us under the date of July 26, 1906: "Your letter to C. A. Otis, of The Cleveland Daily News, about roughs at the ball park here is all right. All the parties arrested here for gambling in the bleachers this season, and one for throwing a pop bottle at Jake Stahl (a Washington bassall player, captain and manager of the team) were WHITE." O, dear, dear, dear! what's to be done with Negroes like Braun? There are many in the south, and we presume many in the north, but we had hoped there were none in Cleveland. Letter to Mr. Otis. C. A. Otis, Cleveland, July 13, 1906. C. A. Otis, Cuyahoga Bldg. City, Dear Sr.-I love you will find a clipping from the love book New York July 12, written by on Lee F. Hecock, a "baseball" reporter of your paper. The article shows a maliciousness which is entirely too apparent. Some weeks ago when in Washington. GAZETTE. D. C. I saw thousands of white men seated upon the bleachers occupying 25-cent seats with Negroes. If you have ever attended a ball game there you have doubtless noticed the same thing. The contemptible animus prompting the writer of the article above is characteristic of the Georgia "Cracker," and is what we had to complain of in your paper some weeks ago. At that time I called your attention to it in a letter. While those of my people who have had the privilege of enjoying your friendship thoroughly appreciate it, they also feel as deeply in another way such contemptible publications as the fellow, Heacock, is ever and anon guilty of writing for the News. I trust you will put a stop to it. Let him vent his spleen in some Georgia publication and not in the News. I call your attention particularly to the second sentence of the second paragraph of the clipping. Very truly yours. H. C. SMITH. If Mr. Otis does not "muzzle" the Georgia "Cracker," Heacock, at once, do not allow the News to come into your home and tell all of your neighbors, friends and acquaintances to bar it. Rev. H. C. Bailey Protests Last week I read an article emanating from Mr. Nahum Brascher, viz: "News, Square Deal Daily." I do not understand Mr. Brascher's position for assuming or writing such an article. I am a subscriber of the News, have often rebuked the collector or for the insulting epithets used in that paper in speaking of the colored people, and shall discontinue it, except it ceases to use such words as "coons, darkey, blackbird, etc." How Mr. Brascher can call the News a "square" paper and say that it deals fairly toward the colored people, I cannot now nor have been able to see. Mr. Brascher either does not read the News or he is guilty of misrepresenting a paper that has spoken of us so maliciously. The Plain Dealer and Press have been more fairly disposed to the colored people of Cleveland than the Leader or News. I wish Mr. Brascher to deal square with our people. Respectfully. H. C. BAILEY, Pastor Antioch Baptist Church. ASUICIDEATTEMPT Prominent Pastor of an A. M. E Church—Illness the Cause, It Is Thought. Columbus, O.-Rev. J. M. Henderson, pastor of St. Pan's church, who came here recently from Cincinnati, succeeding Rev. R. R. Downs, created quite a sensation last week Thursday night by what is thought was an attempt at suicide, resentful from insomnia. The following morning he saluted to Mrs. I. T. Bird, with whom he is boarding: "Four times last night I placed this thing (revolver) to my temple with the intention of shooting myself. Four times the thought of my loved wife and four children interposed and staid my finger which was on the trigger." After breakfast he retreated to his room and soon afterward a shot was heard. He was found lying uninjured, face downward, on the bed with a smoking revolver in his hand. A bullet hole in the pannel of the door showed where the bullet had gone. Rev. Henderson seemed to be in a trance, but soon recovered. His wife and children, who are in Chicago, will join him at an early date. WALTER DAMMOND His Great Invention—Patented Here and Abroad—Something of His Career. Detroit, Mich.—Walter H. Dammond, of this city, has invented and patented in France, the United States and Canada what is known as the Dammond cab signal, a contrivance which is a superior to the fixed block system now largely used on railroads and all other similar contrivances.

For 14 months after graduating Mr. Dammond was a student with the Westinghouse Electric Co., of Pittsburgh and later was professor of mathematics at Paul Quinn college, Texas and Wilberforce university, O. He has been a civil engineer in the bridge department of the Michigan Central railroad for six years and is a credit to our race. Washington, Pa., Brevities St. Paul's S.

Republican. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, M. S. of Wilberforce, Ohio, stirred the delegates of the National association to a high pitch this morning at the National Association of Colored Women.

Bruce, could not be elected to the presidency on account of her light color.—Washington (D. C.) Record. Secretary Taft's speech at Greenboro, N. C., very likely pleased, in a large measure, southern democrats, and may have flattered the vanity of lily-whitism and independent republican referees of the south; but it awakened no new life and cheer in the souls of men, black or white, north or south, who know and feel the sting of civil and political discriminations heaped upon a people by southern legislatures for no other reason than color.—Pensacola (Fla.)

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. Russia is massacreing the Jews and the United States the Negroes, and all because the two races have physical differences from those among whom they live. And yet the Jew has nothing to say in defence of the Negro and the Negro nothing for the Jew. We thought misery loved company!-Seattle (Wash.) Republican You are wrong, in part, conferee. The Afro-American has always expressed, and freely too, his sympathy for the Jew and also the Irishman, in spite of the fact that we have received precious little in return. The bond of sympathy existing between the three races ought to be very strong, but it isn't. Indeed the antipathy of the Irish and Jews, as a rule, for the Afro-American seems stronger than among almost any other two races or classes of people in this country. Strange, yet true. Would that it were not so. A SOUTHERN JOURNAL ON SENATOR FORAKER. A malicious southern journal is pleased to name Senator J. B. Foraker as one of the ablest men of his party, yet believes him too radical and uncompromising to awaken any desire on the part of the south to see him promoted to the president's chair. But it must be borne in mind, that the south is not in accord with the true American idea and republican principles. The south favors mob law and misrule; while on the other hand, Ohio's great senator stands utterly opposed to any and everything that is disloyal and contrary to our national laws. He repudiates the spirit of sectionalism and individualism, and strikes with an iron-hand any measure looking to the subordination of our federal laws and the disintegration of the general government. So well has he represented his own state and the government of all the people, that we are satisfied there could be no mistake should his party call him to share in her highest honors. Today he ranks among the greatest of great Americans and though a degree of timidity may be felt by one or two southern journals, yet it is not reasonable to indulge scruples in regard to a great leader who fearlessly does his duty as he sees it. He stands closely allied with all the business interests of the nation and is most excellently qualified in oratory, dignity, ability and charm in manner to fill any office in the gift of the nation. The south may fear him; but their fears while they may be the outgrowth of the fact that they believe him to be a man of the purest integrity, yet that very fact alone must dispel all fears and impel the people from all sections to receive and regard him as the noblest exponent of that idea to which the people would rally for certain triumphs and victory. The republican party is destined to lead because it contains within its ranks, great leaders, the diplomats of the nation upon whom the people demand for guidance in time of mighty trials and struggles. In the last congress he became a tower of strength to the republic and rising to the dignity of the occasion he reflected a manhood in statesmanship which proves him to be the peer of the great men of our century. WORRYING ABOUT THE NEGRO. Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts, a descendant of the noted family of Adams, exercises his mind in treating upon the future of the Negro in America. Mr. Adams entertains the same views expressed by that class of men who tax their brain to discount the Afro-American. The disposition to undervalue and degrade the Afro-American can only be accounted for as the result of prejudice and religious caste. Philanthropy, he claims, has nothing to do with the race issue, nor is their any feeling of common humanity involved. In this respect Mr. Adams is sadly in error. Philanthropy aided by a common love for humanity has all to do with whatever concerns a race, and without common interest and love actuating the human heart for the uplift of mankind, the races would find themselves in a condition almost commensurate with that of the lower creatures of earth. He pronounces against the possibility of the assimilation of the blacks by the whites, and against the theory that the infusion of foreign blood can be assimilated by the American community and finally absorbed into it. In the face of all the striking proof THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1906. that this very theory is being carried out, Mr. Adams, without any seeming possibility of refusing the truth, makes this idle declaration. The rattled-brained governor of Mississippi has said even as much, while the great world in self-adjustment adapts itself to the only process known to history. He denies the possibility of assimilation and absorption by the African to the white American because the process would be the result of miscegenation and a mongrel race. By miscegenation Mr. Adams means the result of bastardy. Miscegenation then is criminal. Guarded and sustained by laws, the best known to the world's civilization, there is no reason that the American people should become a mongrel nation. That this Massachusetts man offers himself only as a disturbing element is readily seen from the attitude he assumes. It remains only for the American people to deal justly with all men, and we at once find an easy way by which to overcome all our difficulties and embarrassments. There is no other way by which Americans may hope to conquer what seems to be a growing mischief than by meeting up to every individual his just dues. The scholar and the statesman may argue learnedly and philosophically, but righteous dealing is the most effectual of all means in the solution of any question. If the north or the south has to worry they worry on account of self-imposed evils. Let them do the part of a brave and righteous people, let destiny have its cause and as Frederick Douglass has said, "leave the Negro alone, unhampered and free, and all will be well." Scored Gorky. Huffalo, N. Y.—The fifth annual convention of the American Federation of Catholic Societies opened here Sunday with a mass meeting at Convention hall. The visitors were welcomed by Bishop Colton and Mayor J. N. Adam. Bishop McPaul, of Trenton, N. J., in responding to welcome addresses, spoke against the evils of socialism and divorce. "The stability of this nation rests upon the American home," he said, "Socialism would stretch out her foul hands upon the property of our people. Look at Maxim Gorky, the Russian socialist, coming to America to ask us to turn upon Russia. See him living with a woman who cannot be recognized as his wife. That villain and scoundrel and polluter of womanhood would preach to us the gospel of human liberty." One of Our Philanthropists. Bloomington, Ill.-Any Afro-American in Illinois is eligible to compete at an examination to be held in Jerseyville, August 15, at which the two making the best showing will be given tuition, room rent and board while attending some college or university to be selected by the trustees.

HOW CHINESE WOMEN "CALL" Elaborate Ceremony Prescribed by Rules of Fashion and Established Etiquette. The Chinese woman has a calling substitute called a carde de visite. It is really a sort of social information bureau, as it conveys to the recipient the name of the caller, her address and the day on which she is to be found in her own house beyond question. If I should call on Monday, when her "card" read "Thursday," she would send down word by the maid, who would report to the housekeeper, generally a negro, that she was "not at home." You will remember how the missionaries impressed upon us that "truth" was the corner stone of Christianity. But I digress. Now these "calling cards" could be mailed or sent by a servant just as well, for the visiting lady does not go in. She rides up to the house in state, the footman opens the door, receives a card delivers it to the servant, and they proceed to the next house on the list, which the driver carries. Now the curious part of this ceremony is that the party called upon does not know that the lady called in person, and there is consequently no objection to the caller putting herself to the trouble, but it is the "fashion."—Metropolitan Magazine. HELPS IN PRACTICAL WAY. Wife of City Dentist Makes All of Tiny Napkins Husband Uses in His Work There is a city dentist whose wife helps him in a wholly feminine and money-saving way. The makes all the tiny linen napkins he uses to tuck—into the mouths or collars of his patients, and makes them all by hand. Not a bit of machine stitching is ever seen in his office linen, and there is an odd reason for it. She did the first lot soon after her marriage, when she knew little of sewing, and could not run a machine. By the time she had finished four dozen she had become a fine sewer, and then disdained to use the machine at all. That was some years ago, and now her husband could well afford to hire the work done, but she still clings to the idea of helping him, and every summer when other women on the hotel plaza bring out their embroidery and fancy work she produces her tiny squares of linen and hems away. Last summer she made 12 dozen. Great Tunnels Projected Two projects for the construction of railway tunnels of unprecedented magnitude are now under discussion. One of them, which appeals strongly to the imagination if it does not enlist much sympathy among practical men, is M. D. De Lobel's plan for tunneling Behring strait to connect Silberia with Alaska. The author of this plan explained it before a large meeting of the Navy and Military club at St. Petersburg recently. Behring strait, he said, is about $38\frac{1}{2}$ miles broad and 167 feet deep, but it has two islands so situated that the tunnel could be divided into three sections of about $12\frac{1}{2}$ miles each. The other project is older, and relates to tunneling the English channel between Dover and Calais. French engineers have recently been studying the enterprise anew. The distance is about $23\frac{1}{2}$ miles. The work would be relatively easy, because the tunnel would run through chalk.-Youth's Companion. Fortunes Made by Vocalists Of all vocalists the world has ever known Patti stands alone in earning ability. Her marvelous voice, aided by histrionic power of *a* high order, has frequently brought her $5,000 a night. Next to her stood, and perhaps still stands, Jean De Reskez. When he first visited this country he commanded $1,000 at each performance, but so great was his success that he demanded higher terms and Maurice Grau was glad to grant them. For some time his nightly honorarium was $1,200, and later on it was raised to still higher figures. During his last season in New York he averaged about $2,400 a night, which included a guarantee of $1,800 and a percentage of the box office receipts. He is now living on his well-gotten gains in his Parisian home and is teaching singing to pupils at the comfortable rate of $25 an hour. Royal Child Had Her War Royal Child Had Her Way. An amusing story of the little Grand Duchess Marie is now going the rounds of St. Petersburg. The child, who is now six and one-half years old, when walking with her German governess met a white-haired muzik, one Ivan Leiken, who complained of hunger and asked for alms. Having no money, the child applied to her governes, who, however, declined to give it, and advised the old man to go to the Tsaritsa's labor colony close by. Piqued at the refusal, the grand duchess took off her hat and gave it to the peasant, who walked away. The governess then, being afraid to take her charge home hatless, ran after the muzik and demanded the hat; he refused to give it up, except in exchange for a ruble, and got the money. Vibration of Vocal Chords It is simply the vocal chords which vibrate, not the throat. In the lower notes the whole length and thickness of the vocal chords are used, the thin edges being employed for the highest ones. Thus in speaking for a minute or two there is sufficient vibration engendered in the throat, were its walls of a solid nature instead of soft and flexible, to shatter and destroy it. Every minute we speak the vocal chords vibrate from 20,000 to 40,000 times. Three Grades of Hushands A woman who shall be nameless furnishes the following essay on husbands: "There are three kinds of husbands: The young Husbands who make us unhappy because we are so jealous of them, the middle-aged husbands who break our hearts because they would rather make money or play golf than devote any attention to us, and the old husbands who sicken us with their silly objections whenever we turn to look at younger men."

This is the first week of vaudeville at the Coliseum Gardens and nearly every one of the acts is above the average. A. C. Carleton really has something new and very entertaining in his monolog. The "Keatons" are well established favorites. Grace Childers and her dog do some exceptionally pleasing things, especially for ladies and children. Cornalla and Eddle are very good comedians and jugglers, and Mitchell and King are certainly odd conversationists. Baby Mignon in singing and dancing furnishes another splendid act. The Zarrow trio in their original bicycle pantomime do many wonderful things on their wheels. The vitagraph views are exceptionally good, but the act that towers above everything else on the program is Lasky, Rolf & Company's 14 black Huzzars, ten women and four, under the direction of Prof. Henderson Smith, the well known bandmaster and cornetist. Their beautiful new instruments and brilliant uniforms, their fine playing and drilling, comedy work and singing combine to produce an act such as is seldom seen on any stage in any country. With a beauty which is known as "the base drum trust" which is extremely amusing and a fitting elimax. The Hussars and men and women, indicate an unmistakable artistic trend in their handling of the instruments producing pleasing melody at all times and not noise. They pass from one move to another with a smoothness and rapidity, always satisfying and never allowing the interest to lag for an instant, that is a revelation. They give a clean, wholesome and delightful 15 or 20 minutes' entertainment which the large audiences at the Coliseum appreciate and receive with thunderous applause. The Hussars are making weekly stands and are booked up for many months to come, summer and winter, and are due to put in a season abroad visiting Berlin, Paris and other large cities in the old country, at the conclusion of their American engagement. Manager Kline, of the Coliseum, is to be congratulated upon the splendid program he is giving this week. It so greatly outshines those of all other local amusement houses that there can be no comparison. Oil City, Pa., Topics.

In Session in Washington—Bishop Gaines Speaks on Treatment by the Whites. Washington, D. C. — The Negro Young People's Christian and Educational congress, having for its object the educational and moral uplifting of the race, began a five days' session in this city Tuesday. Several thousand delegates are in attendance. The first day's session was devoted to addresses of welcome and speechmaker Gaines, J. Gaines, of Atlanta, and Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte being the principal speakers. Taking up the question of the attitude of the whites toward the negroes, Bishop Gaines said: "We look for Christianity to soften the hearts of the white people so as to give us a chance to help ourselves and not to strive with unchristian spirit to crush us and prevent us from doing what we can. We have made great progress, though we have still a giant burden of ignorance and lawlessness to carry and to endeavor to destroy as we move upward. Yet I find I can thank God that though we have so many must say we are not without friends. I must say we are not without this country if we were not for our white friends and their strength of character." Bishop Gaines then specifically named as avowed enemies of the negro Senator Tillman, of South Carolina; Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi; Gov. Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas, and Thomas Dixon. He added that John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta Journal-Post, was among them "as the most dangerous of the group, because he is the most highly educated." Mercer, Pa.. News. Rev.

Hayden & Co., dry goods merchants, of Albert Lea, Minn., says: "I was so lame that so take this I could hardly walk. There was an uncountable darkness of the back, constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night. As my health was good in every other way, I could not understand I could hardly walk. There was an unaccountable weakness of the back, and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night. As my health was good in every other way, I could not understand this trouble. It was just as if all the strength had gone from my back. After suffering for some time I began using Dean's kidney Pills. The remedy acted at once upon the kidneys, and when normal action was restored, the trouble with my back disappeared. I have not had any return of it." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N.Y. SENTENCE SERMONS. Fear and fret makes life's friction. Heaven helps those who help others. Heaven despairs of the man who despises men. True religion nourishes the roots of right doing. The church that courts the rich loses its riches. Sometimes hiding another's faults heals our own. The man who is too previous is sure to get procrastinated. The hardest work some folks do is telling how busy they are. You cannot keep your eyes on your watch and your heart on your work. It does not make a man brave to lay his cowardice on his conscience. No amount of laundry in your religion can make up for a lack of love. There's no special merit in casting bread on the water with a hook in it. Many a man's religion would be worth more if it had more office practice. It's no use looking for a man's religion when it doesn't get into his looks. Two strings to your bow may be all right if you can keep them clear of your neck—Chicago Tribune. Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE." The man who preaches the best sermon; the man who tells the funniest stories; the man who keeps the best store; or the man who makes the best goods soon finds that people come to him. Merit is the best advertisement in the world. People speak well of things they know are good. They pass the good word along. The best breakfast food is EGG-O-SEE, for it contains all the life-giving properties of nature's best food, which is wheat. EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the thousands of wives and mothers who use it in their homes, for these good women tell their neighbors about this great food. Children and aged persons alike are friends of EGG-O-SEE. Merit and common sense are the things that advertise EGG-O-SEE most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent package contains ten liberal breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere. Grocers must keep it if they want to keep their good customers, for good customers insist on buying EGG-O-SEE. The fact that no preparation, no cooking is required, makes EGG-O-SEE very popular. Open the package; put as much as you like in a dish; pour on milk or cream and eat. It is delicious. It is wholesome. It makes you strong. A lot of interesting facts about EGG-O-SEE have been published in book form entitled, "Back to Nature." This book also has a course of physical culture—fully illustrated. Anyone wishing this book will receive it free by addressing EGG-O-SEE Company, 10 First St., Quincy, III. Throws Rays Half a Mile Light rays half a mile long and 24 times as powerful as the sort commonly in use are the new oxy-petrol lime lights that have been invented for the motorists. The lamp consists of an oxy-petrol blowpipe flame playing on a piece of specially refractory material. A reservoir of material is to be carried on the car; and also a cylinder of compressed oxygen. Presumably a stream of oxygen under pressure is saturated with petrol vapor and burnt in the blowpipe and a small, extremely hot flame is produced, this being caused to impinge on something more refractory than lime. The Erie Railroad has just placed orders for 1,600 new freight cars. From the Standard Steel Car Company, to be built at the Butler, Pa. shops, have been ordered 500 drop end steel-underframe gondola cars of 100,000 pound capacity, weighing 420,000 pounds each, and 45 feet in length.

Morris now being electrically equipped. Four of these are passenger cars and the fifth a combination passenger and baggage car. Each will be equipped with four 75horsepower Westinghouse motors.

LIKE EDGE OF THE WORLD Unalaska, in the Alaskan Islands, a Dessolate Spot—Where White Men May Not Land. Unalaska resembles other northern stations, having warehouses, docks, the inevitable Greek church and a score of wooden cabins. Whalers leave here for the Arctic regions. Dutch Harbor is a station for our revenue fleet. There is much coming and going of ships of all nations; there are quite a formidable fleet, and only two ships out of twelve carry colors of the same country. Just before entering the harbor one notices a detached rock high against the side of the cliff. It bears a striking resemblance to a Russian priest in full robes. Touched by the sunset light, he seemed to stand blessing the harbor. Sailing north out into Behring sea, one looks back at the desolate, silent, treeless islands, which seem to wall the edge of the world. Hundreds of miles west they run toward Vladivostok. Two hundred and forty miles north of Unalaska are the Priblof islands; not large, but the greatest seal islands in the world. There are many fur scals around the shores of Behring sea and the Aleutian islands, but the great mass of them are bred on the Priblof group.

Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh —Had to Use Crustaches—¹Cuticura Remedies the Best on Earth." "In the year 1899 the side of my right foot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physician who had charge of me was trying to sew up the side of my foot, but with no success. At last my whole foot and way up above my calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suffered untold agonies for four years, and tried different physicians and all kinds of ointments. I could walk only with crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw a change in my limb. Then I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during the day, and kept it up for seven months, when my limb was healed up just the same as if I never had trouble. It is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the best on God's earth. I am working at the present day after five years of suffering The cost of Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $6, but the doctors' bills were more like $600. John M. Lloyd, 718 S. Arch Ave., Alliance, Ohio, June 27, 1905." LOVE LORE. It is easier to love and be wise than to be generous and have money. Jealousy is green and does not harmonize with Love's hair and eyes. Love laughs at locksmiths, because parents don't lock up their daughters any more. When Poverty comes in at the door Truelove engages her on the spot to do the cooking. The pity of Love's blindness is that marriage is the only oculist that guarantees to restore the sight. Don't complain of your lover's amateurism. In this you have proof positive that you are the first. Show me the sweethearts of the land, and I will confess myself that much more puzzled about the men. Life gave a dinner, and, while it may not have been a feast from an epicure's point of view, it was a great success. The guest of honor was Love. When Love begins to sicken and decay, sometimes the tonic of indifference will effect a quicker recovery than all the careful nursing in the world. Iodine a Cure for Snake Bite For a sure cure for snake bite, take about seven drops of iodine, scarify and bathe the wound also with iodine. This remedy was first used by a medical officer in British service in India. It has cured both man and a number of animals; it never falls; it is really wonderful in its effects. One instance I will relate. A young man working for me in the harvest field was bitten by a very large rattlesnake on one of his large toes. I gave him about seven drops of tincture of iodine on a little sugar, and to make doubly sure repeated the dose an hour later. His foot swelled, but next morning he was all right. I have had animals whose bodies have swelled considerably, but all have recovered from the bite.—Topek Capital. "Cruising for Salvage" One man in New York says he makes a good living by what he calls cruising for salvage. He goes about in an automobile and follows novices trying to operate recently purchased machines. If the machines break down or stop he comes up in time to offer his services as a tug or to offer about half the value of the machine if the owner is so disgusted that he wishes to sell.

Styles for The Juveniles Styles for The Juveniles The smart coat of the season is the red serge coat, trimmed with either brass or pearl buttons and with collar and cuffs of hunter's green. It makes a decidedly cheerful spot in the summer landscape. Daintiness is ever attractive in the small girl's get-up, and the separate wash collar for the cheerful coat is a pretty touch; it may be of lace, or better, of embroidered linen. Some prefer the heavy linen with button-holed scallops; some mothers delight to linger over fine hand embroidery with insets of lace and lace frills. Linen and cambric frocks made in simple style should be included in miss's wardrobe, for these frocks are both modish and practical. Even khaki, which is popular for the small boys, is used for girl's dresses, the DAINTY DAINTY DRESSES kind made straight and very simple. For the heavier frocks a washable braid is the approved trimming. Much handwork is seen on girls' clothing nowadays, there being such a revival of embroidery and the finer kinds of needlework. Buttonholed scallops are pretty and not hard to do after one has got into the swing of the thing. Nothing better than the hand-made tub hats has been introduced in children's millinery for a long time, and the mob caps are universally becoming. They shade the face well, are easily kept clean. The round Dutch neck and elbow sleeve is the order of the day for misses' summer dresses. Last evening we noticed a pretty girlish form robed in a white frock; a short untrimmed skirt, a full bodice with modestly high neck, the sleeves just to the elbow. The girdle was of flowered blue ribbon in palest tones, sleeve garters of the same; it was a charming costume for a girl of sweet sixteen on a summer evening—to be sure on the conventional order of sweet simplicity, but this conventional type is not to be scorned. Fashions of Midsummer The best dressed woman one sees now is the one that presents the coolest and freshest appearance rather than the one arrayed in gorgousness and elaboration. And just now it seems there are a goodly number of well dressed women. Let us speak of a few costumes that lately came to our notice. Here is a delectable one—a coat suit of butcher blue linen. The shirtwaist is of white Irish lawn, fine and exquisite; it is delicately hand embroidered, worn with a necktie of pule blue velvet tasseled with black and white silk. The Panama hat is Henry Gould encircled with a scarf of pale blue crepe de chine, fringed with black and white, and has a bunch of glowing red cherries to the front. The whole is cool and crisp and colorful. Cambric is a favorite material, and as it launers so well has much to recommend it. The pink cambrics are very pretty—as seem all the pinks THE POLITICAL ASPIRAN WHAT WILL I TAKE? WHAT WILL I TAKE? SENATORSHIP GOVERNORSHIP GOVERNORSTATMAN JOHN RIFFLE CHARISMALE WON GROWER DREAM BOOK FAIRY TALES ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC AN EVENING DRESS A younger girl, perhaps 13 years old, wore on embroidered pink camric. Her light yellow tresses done up on top of her head, it being such a warm evening, she presented a quaint grown-up appearance. Her bodice was cut V shape back and front, the pink embroidery edges showing pretty against fair neck and at dimpled elbow. She wore no "ornaments" whatever, not even the beads dear to the average girl's heart, and looked as fresh and simple as a peach. The gulmphe the thing for the child's dress, the easily soiled portions can be removed and washed and while one set is in the tub another be worn. The rolling collar of the day is particularly becoming to your youthful friends and may be worn with a bow or tie. Some young la DRESSES. dies appreciate the value of the simple gold fastening pin; like many of us, extremely tired of the ornate and gladly going in for simplicity. A good, solid, gold safety pin of fair size is the sort to choose. The child of to-day is a picturesque figure. Take the wee toddler in her straight frock and puffs for sleeves. Or her elder sister, attained to the dignity of belt and skirted dress and rolling collar and flopping hat. And the still older sister, with neat bodice and pleated skirt, square neck and short sleeves, hat trimmed with a pompon. At least a line or two for the neglected boys. Let us speak of their negligee shirts, very like father's, with soft tucked bosom and tie matching the shirt material. The favorite materials are pongee, madras and wash silk. On very hot days the smaller boys may wear their sailor waists with dickey discarded, and thrust bee feet into cool sandals that are simply soles strapped on. There are wash hats for small lids too, and these are nice and cool; and caps of all sorts. this year—and the hats of midsummer are most attractive with them. And while speaking of the charm of the summer frocks, let us not forget that petticoats, which, too, come in for display, are not to be neglected. One is very tired of cheap trimmings, therefore with the more zest calls attention to a petticoat of dotted muslin made up with a tucked ruffle and no lace; the ruffle attached by a wide beading through which is run a colored ribbon tying in bow and long loops. A lovely gown of oyster-white muslin was made in picturesque style with a fuchi crossed at the bosom. The high girdle was of pale blue liberty satin, the picture hat was adorned with white feathers. A more costly gown was of blush-rose India muslin made up over soffest white silk. This also had a fuchi draping the shoulders, the fuchi and hem of the dress bordered with fine thread lace. The picture hat was wreathed in plumes of a rose shade somewhat deeper than the gown. Still another frock calls for description, a colweby muslin in a delicate peach color, with insertions and floures of creamy old lace. Soft peach colored ribbons shone on sleeves and bodice, there was a high girdle of peach colored suede with dull silver art nouveau buttons adorning the same. The hat was of smoke-gray, with plume of the same color From the above it will be seen there is a liking for lovely soft combinations, but we must mention that there is also a liking for the use in millinery of big, brilliantly-colored cherries. This form of trimming is rather heavy and cumbersome, but gives a striking effect. The picture scarf is affected by tall "picture" women, and little shoulder capes are surely advancing in favor. Some women have taken to shawls, but these are very courageous. Emotional insanity which has been defined as insanity while you wait, contains about 99 parts of emotion to one part of insanity.

WHO SHE WAS And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. 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 Yours for Health Lydia & 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 herbs, nature's own remedies—and physical, psychological, 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 to find them, in the roots and herbs of the orchards, we pressly 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 choiceest medical roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured 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 the Pinkham family, as this class of people were so fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lyda E. Pinkham's valuable compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to ALLEN'S FOOT-EAS A Certain Cure for Tired, Hot, Aching DO NOT ACCEPT A SUBSTITUTE SICK HEADACHE CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS.

They argued that the medicine which was so good for their women 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 seeds were kept on the gradually filled grass of 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 vegetable, self-advertising, for which used it recommended it to others, 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 Lyda E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lyda E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work, but to help her award years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing 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 child would be republished with valuable and there were thousands—received 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. The information of information 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 in all her hard-won knowledge, and she was also 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 mother, the pen, 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 is well versed how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs; the one used for women's siliments, and the fitting manure for the noble woman whose name it bears.
