THE The Inter-State Commerce Commission Begins an Inquiry Into a Trust's Methods. Toledo, O.—Judson C. Clements, member of the inter-state commerce commission, on Tuesday began an inquiry in behalf of the government into the relations between the railroads entering Toledo and the ice companies shipping over these lines. Joseph A. Miller, manager of the Toledo ice and Coal Co. and one of the men sentenced to the workhouse by Judge Kinkade for conspiracy in restraint of trade, was the first witness called by the government. Miller's testimony was to the effect that previous to five years ago, when he became manager of the ice company, he was manager of the Ann Arbor railroad, but while he agent for the road he had sold ice for the ice company and was paid by the road and that Wellington R. Burt, president of the Ann Arbor, and Harry Ashley, general manager, were directors of the ice company and that practically all the stock in the ice company was owned by the railroad people. He further testified that the office of the ice company is located on Ann Arbor railroad property, but that no rent was paid. The most important witness of the afternoon was Wellington R. Burt, once receiver and president of the Ann Arbor railroad. Mr. Burt testified he was president of the road when the Toledo ice and Coal Co. organized, that he suggested the organization and coaxed the employees of the railroad to become stockholders in the concern. EXTRADITION WAS ILLEGAL. A Federal Judge Orders the Release from Prison of a Man Convicted of Conspiracy. New York. — Charles C. Brown, former examiner of silks in the government customs service in this city, was on Tuesday ordered released from Sing Sing prison by Judge Hough, of the United States court, on a writ of habeas corpus. Browne was recently brought back from Canada, and died after giving birth and was taken direct to his counsel claimed this was in violation of the extradition treaty between the United States and Canada. Browne was convicted in March, 1904, of having conspired to defraud the government by passing silks at underrated values and sentenced to serve two years in Sing Sing prison. He took an appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals and lost. He then jumped his bail of $12,500 and fled to Canada. The Canadian government refused extradition on the conspiracy charge, but extradited Browne on an amended charge of being a fugitive from justice. A secret service agent started with Browne for New York from Montreal on July 26. His attorneys expected that he be brought to New York, instead United States Marshal United the secret service agent and Browne at Poughkeepsie and took the prisoner direct to Sing Sing prison. Counsel for Browne contended that he was practically kidnapped. In his opinion discharging Browne from custody Judge Hough declared that there is no authority vested in the United States government to seize or hold a person extradited in pursuance of treaty provisions except upon the charge on which the extradition was granted. FROM NEW YORK TO CHICAGO. Joseph Ramsey Plans to Build an Air Line Railroad—Cost $15,000,000. Pittsburg, Pa.—Papers of consolidation of three railroads in different parts of Pennsylvania will be filed at Harrisburg this week, which will constitute the formal announcement of a project of prominent foreign bankers, associated with Joseph Ramsey, Jr., former president of the Wabash railroad, to build a low-grade double track railroad from New York to Chicago by way of Pittsburgh, which will cost about $150,000,000. Complete surveys have already been made, and it is expected that work preliminary to actual grading and construction next spring will begin this fall. It is expected that the road will require three years to construct. It is contemplated to operate it with electric locomotives. It will be known as the New York, Pittsburg Chicago and Line and will be 65 miles shorter to New York than the Pennsylvania and 108 miles shorter than the shortest line between New York and Chicago.

CARNIVAL'OF MURDER. Terrorists Attacked Policemen and Soldiers, Dozens of Whom Were Slain in Poland. St. Petersburg—Acting apparently with a definite plan and at a signal, the Terrorists and revolutionists on Wednesday inaugurated a carnival of murderous attacks with bombs and revolvers on the police and troops in various cities in Poland, echoes of which are heard from Samara, Ufa, Yalta, Kiev and even far away Chita, where acting Chief of Police Gorpinchenko was slain almost on his own doorstep. The revolutionist campaign flamed out with especial virulence at Warsaw, where over a score were slain in the streets and many more were wounded. Among the killed were two sergeants of police, eight patrolmen, three gendarmes, five soldiers, a Hebrew merchant and a woman. The returns are not all in. Policemen and soldiers were shot down like rabbits in the streets. Their assailants, who traveled in small bands, almost all escaped among the terrorized but sympathetic populace. The only considerable capture was a band of ten men who had invaded a grog shop and a soldier. These were taken by a passing patrol. Bombs were exploded in an attack on a police station of the Volsk precinct in Warsaw, where a sergeant, two patrolmen and a soldier were wounded. Other Polish cities singled out by the Terrorists were Lodz, where six soldiers, three patrolmen and the wife of a police captain were wounded by the explosion of bombs in the police station and two soldiers and two Terrorists killed in the streets; Radom, where a bomb thrown into the police station killed the wife and child of a captain; Vlotskos, where the chief of police was slain, and Plock, where at a given signal the policemen on all the posts were simultaneously attacked and several of them wounded. On account of the agrarian disorders and several attacks on post trains, the railway between Samara and Zlatoust, which already was carrying guards on all its trains was on Wednesday placed under martial law. Two of these attacks occurred near Ufa, revolutionists in each case flagging a train, bursting open the doors of the mail cars with bombs and riffing the registered pouches. The booty in one case amounted to $15,000. Uzovka, Aug. 16.—A band of passages from a neighboring village on Wednesday attempted to storm the jail at Ivanskova and release some of their friends who had been arrested for participation in agrarian disorders. The Cossack guards fired, killing five and wounding three of the mob. Klev.—Members of the revolutionist committee entered a shop here Wednesday and demanded a contribution of $150. While they were waiting for the money to be brought to them a member of the secret police intervened, whereupon the revolutionists fled. Two policemen who barred their way were shot down. One of the revolutionists was arrested, a second committed suicide rather than surrender and a third escaped. BURNED TO DEATH Two Lives are Lost in a Fire on the Water Front at Buffalo, N. Y. Buffalo, N. Y. — Capt. James Robinson, a veteran lake master, was burned to death; Charles Johnson, a sailmaker, was fatally burned, and a score of other persons had narrow escapes in a fire at the foot of Main Street, near the water front, Wednesday. The fire started on the top floor of Nos. 11-15 Main Street, occupied by the Buffalo Ship Chandlery and Supply Co., and is supposed to have been caused by an explosion. The alarm was given by Johnson, who rushed to the street enveloped in flames. Many of the sailmakers escaped by means of ladders and by jumping to adjoining buildings. Capt. Robinson's escape was cut off by the fire. His body, burned to a crisp, was recovered by the firemen. The fire spread to the St. Charles hotel, but was brought under control before much damage was done to the hotel. The loss on the building and stock of the ship supply concern is estimated at $75,000. An Impressive Pageant. Minneapolis, Minn.—For the fortieth time since their work was finished and their glory won, the men of the Grand Army of the Republic were in line Wednesday. There have been parades more gorgeous, but never in this country a parade more impressive than that which passed through the streets of Minneapolis. The old soldiers were greeted by cheers that drowned the roar and the noise of their bandals and times they passed through living lanes where many eyes were dim as the onlookers, with heads bared in reverence for the old soldiers, watched the veterans file by. Forty People Poisoned Salisbury Beach, Mass. — Forty persons were poisoned by impure ice cream here last evening and six of the victims are in a serious condition. Bank Closed; Cashier in Jail. Parkersburg, W. Va.—The Bank of Smithville, Ritchie county, was closed Wednesday. Cashier George C. Clammer is under arrest, charged with falsifying the accounts of the bank. The shortage is alleged to be $2,000. Claammer waived examination and was sent to jail in default of $2,000 ball. Three Women Drowned. Detroit, Minn. — Fannie King and Nellie and Lena Jordahl, all of Lake Park, Minn., were drowned in Cormorant lake Wednesday. A GEORGIA DEMOCRAT SAYS IT IS ILLEGAL AND BASE. Not every democratic leader in Georgia holds the war amendments to the federal constitution in contempt as against what is called the menace of Negro supremacy in politics. Ex. Congressman W. H. Fleming, of Augusta, through The Chronicle of that city, has addressed a letter to the white voters of the state, urging their nonacceptance of the SECure Hoke Smith's proposal that Georgia shall follow other southern states in disfranchising the Negro. His address is noteworthy for its frank exposition of the fact that all the schemes adopted and proposed in restriction of the suffrage are flatly antagonistic to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Such laws as have been adopted in Alabama, North Carolina and several other southern states may be fair upon their face, but they carry a fraudulent and unconstitutional purpose within and are intended to be administered unfairly. He says: "It must be admitted that the machinery of the proposed law is admirably suited to its fraudulent purpose. Before the citizen can register to vote he must be able to read and explain the satisfaction of the board of regisitrats any paragraph of the state constitution. Now, we lawyers all know that there are some parts of our constitution that the supreme court itself has never been able to explain. "Of course the officers of registration are to be white. An easy paragraph for a white applicant, a difficult paragraph for a Negro applicant; the acceptance of any sort of explanation from a white applicant, the rejection of any sort of explanation from a Negro applicant—there you have the hidden cards with which the game of cheat is to be played, to say nothing of the illegal device of the 'grandfather clause.' And it is on this miserable harrow of the land of trust that a proud and noble people are asked to rest their safety and their civilization." That is the plain truth of the matter, however unwelcome its public expression may be to southerners. Mr. Fleming warns his fellow citizens that, while so far these devices for Negro disfranchisement have escaped the condemnation of the United States supreme court, this cannot always continue to be fought out." Georgia is in no danger of Negro domination; there is scarcely a single public office in the state by a military company have been disbanded. Every census shows that "the margin of safety for white supremacy is increasing." "We do not know," says Mr. Fleming, what phases this race problem may assume, but we may rest in the conviction that its true and ultimate solution must be reached by proceeding along the lines of honesty and justice; "least of all is a tolerable settlement to be reached by the adoption of "a degrading policy of enforcing ignorance on a weaker race, with its attendant results of ponage and semi-slavery, from which all good men would pray for deliverance." He insists that the race problem and conscience and humane consideration. It is the leadership of such men as Mr. Fleming that the south must fall back upon if it is to meet its race problem successfully or as becomes a Christian people. A decent regard for the later amendments to the federal constitution will not hinder, but assist, in reaching an adequate solution of that problem—Springfield (Mass.) Republican. AFTER MITCHELL! "Prof." Z. W., of "Loyal Legion of Labor" Notoriety, Roasted to a "Turn" by a Prominent Minister—An Expose! Youngstown. O.—"Prof." Z. W. Mitchell, who came here from Akron recently after the hot time our people and the Akron Beacon Journal gave him there, is being "lambasted" and having mighty "rough sledding" here. For many, many months it has been coming and at last seems to have fully arrived. One of our leading ministers sent a letter recently to a local daily paper of which the following is a part: Editor Telegram: In reply to the misleading article in the Vindicator of last Wednesday, permit me to say I with others stipited the call of a mass meeting with no other mass that commenced Z. W. Mitchell as a deceiver of his race and a fraud to the white race. My church, the Mahoning Avenue Baptist, does not owe a dollar to my knowledge, neither GAZETTE. does the Oak Hill Avenue A. M. E. The white citizens have given us all the support we have asked of them and will give it again and again to any worthy cause we may start in our hearts of any charities they do abrogate. Privately Denounced. * * * How is it that Dr F. H. Simpson, director of the Loyal Legion Co-operative Educational forum, declared that he had severed his membership with the Loyal Legion of Labor (and he a brother-in-law to Z. W. Mitchell) and that he only accepted the course he was begged by Z. W. Mitchell. **** Let the white citizens ask Z. W. Mitchell how it is that his executive board of such a large concern as he represents in the United States of America, consist only of three, two white men and himself. Ask Z. W. Mitchell when has the authority been taken from the mayor and given to him to break up Negro dives and saloons and ask how does he go about to break up a Negro dive and saloon. I beg of the wealthy citizens to not take the Negro's word in this matter but as you gave $650 last year use a small portion of such a sum this year and send some one with whom you have confidence to any and every place where Z. W. Mitchell claims to have broken up a dive or a saloon. Let him be sent to every Negro organization in the United States and you will readily find that justice would land him in state's prison. We desire the white citizens to know that the reason the pastors have taken this job begins his work in every city at the Negro churches. The members of our churches have appealed to us for protection against their good intentions. Why not recommend his arrest? I preach not to go to law with a brother but if he proves himself a hypocrite denounce him as a sepulchre full of dead men's bones, as a platter clean on the outside but full of dead flies. Ask Z. W. Mitchell why he issues a pamphlet containing the indorsers of his movement, the names and amounts of the honors and does not show the disbursements. WILLIAMS-LUCAS.

A COLONY FOR MEXICO Promoter Plans to Take 10,000 Afro-Americans Across Border San Antonio, Tex.-D. F. Whitaker, president of an emigration company, has secured valuable concessions from the Mexican government and proposes to establish in that country a gigantic Afro-American colony for the purpose of growing cotton and other products with which the Negro is familiar. He has completed the purchase of 85 square miles of land in the southern part of the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, about 65 miles from Tampico. It will be divided into 40-acre farms and sold on easy terms. He claims he will move 10,000 into Mexico from the southern states in a year. The land secured is in a fertile belt, which has been proved good land for the cultivation of cotton, and the climate is good and warm.

C.-Geo. B. Hall of Montgomery county, charged with being one of the leaders in the lynching of two Afro-Americans here on last week Monday night, has been tried in Rowan superior court, convicted and sentenced to 17 years, the maximum of the law. It is the first instance in the history of the state when a prisoner charged with aiding in a lynching was convicted. Lorain, O.—William Hardman, porter in a saloon, committed suicide on the 9th by swallowing an ounce of carbolle acid. Hardman, who was about 25 years of age, came here from Akron. 2 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. Our Odd Fellows of this state seem to have taken on new life. Good! "Prof." Z. W. Mitchell's "Loyal Legion of Labor" scheme seems to have exploded at last. We are not surprised The Negro who urges his people to patronize a paper that characterizes them as "mokes," "coons," "darkies," "blackbirds," "dingles" and "niggers" is too despicable to be tolerated in any community and ought to be "fired out" bodily. Bar the Cleveland Leader and News from your homes at least until they stop it. Before prejudiced southerners became connected with these papers, we had nothing of the kind to complain of. The Niagara Movement, the National Business League and the National Council, all of which are soon to convene in annual session, will please do something as well as say a good deal. "Jim Crow" carism and disfranchisement offer splendid inducements and opportunities to them all. Our people are tiring of national windjamming organizations and want something done, at least as an earnest of good intentions. "PERHAPS A TYPICAL CASE." In Ohio, not many years ago, a young child told a horrible tale of mistreatment by a Negro farm hand. The man was arrested and barely saved from lynching before the child was brought to acknowledge that her mother (white) had compelled her to tell the story, which was entirely without foundation in fact. The woman owed the Negro a considerable amount in back wages and had devised this plan to get him out of the way—Cleveland Plain Dealer. What about the case of the Elyria minister's wife (white) who had an Afro-American sent to the Ohio penitentiary some years ago for criminal assault when he had only been doing her blinding in the frequent enforced absences of her husband who traveled a great deal. After a few years she repented, told the truth and the AfroAmerican was liberated from the penitentiary. No "perhaps" about it, these are "typical" cases and there are hundreds, yes thousands of others, most of them in the south. EX-CONGRESSMAN FLEMING, OF GEORGIA. From Collier's. Weekly we quote the language of this nobleman, where he says: "We of the south cannot afford to sacrifice our ideals of justice, of law and religion for the purpose of preventing the Negro from elevating himself. If the southern whites wish to preserve the wide gap between the races, it should be by lifting up themselves, not by holding down the blacks. If the Negro is to fall, let him fall by his own inferiority and not by our tyranny. No power on earth, he declares, could have induced John C. Calhoun to resort to the base methods already carried out in order to hamper the Negro in his efforts to rise in the scale of being." The above are sentiments worthy to be cherished in the hearts of all true patriots. They strike the keynote in the guiding and formation of the real spirit which should actuate American manhood and American justice. The language of Mr. Fleming covers the entire route on which all Americans are called to journey. It covers the broadest wisdom and all that leads to our highest and sure destiny. The Pilgrim Fathers sought these shores in order to set up a free and independent government and our forefathers gave their lives to establish here a free and untrammeled liberty for all men. Couvinced of this fact and nerved by a holy and righteous impulse to maintain this idea uppermost in the hearts of the people, Mr. Fleming challenges the right and questions the justice of any state to impose restrictions preventing the Negro from doing his part for race elevation. The institution of slavery was wrong—it was wrong and cruelly wicked in every conceivable manner—and any attempt that may be made, encroaching upon any man, white or black, is equally as unjust and wicked and admits of no words in mitigation of the terrible crime. It seems not a little startling that the people of the south have not long since awakened to a sense of the appalling guilt which today confronts them in their ciharyan and high-handed villainy against those whom they once held as slaves and the latter's descendants. Mr. FHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1906. Fleming calls upon the people of the south to deal justly with all men, if they would be deemed honorable and merit the approbation of enlightened mankind. We cannot disguise the truth that though enjoying a seeming prosperity in what seems to constitute growth, development and a high civilization, yet none of these can avail against the abomination of desolation which rises as a nightmare to baffle the ambition of a people in their tyranny over another race. We commend the brave words of ex-Congressman Fleming and we welcome the day when all southland and our whole country shall unite in making common the doctrine of Georgia's noble son, and when the patriot and philanthropist shall vie with each other for the general up lift of all races whether bleached by the snows of Russia or blackened by the suns of Africa.

Honor "Stonewall" Jackson's Memory Roanoke, Va.—A beautiful memorial window of Gen. Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson was unveiled in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church July 29. The window was erected by the pastor, Rev. L. L. Downing, the money for its purchase coming wholly from our people. The exercises were largely attended by both races, the confederate camps of Roanoke and Salem and the chapels of the Daughters of the Confederacy of the same place being well represented. Downing's father and mother were members of a Sunday school class of slaves taught by Jackson at Loxington before the war, and the memorial window exercises marked the realization of an ambition Mr. Downing has had since boyhood to pay fitting tribute to the confederate commander. The picture presented in the window is that of Jackson, who was a stream, the inscription underneath being Jackson's last words: "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees."

A., of this city, more than for Afro-Americans to go to its management and ask for a "Jim Crow" Y. M. C. A. to yell at the Y. M. C. A.

The case was so clearly against the man that he was fined $50 and costs and given 20 days in the workhouse. This fine Judge Fiedler suspended. Why, we are unable to learn or understand. James R. Snyder and the editor of The Gazette spent Sunday on the Hillsdale farm, five miles east of Painesville, guests of Mr. Andrew McSpadden, formerly a resident of the East End. "Mac," as he is familiar called by a host of friends in this city, is delightful located and named Heckman. He occupies three others, all fine people. Clevelanders, in the conduct of the farm—a beautiful place of 70 acres about a mile from the lake shore. The two ladies of the household claim that "Mac" has become so enthusiastic a farmer that he sleeps with one of the farm's fine potatoes on top of the bed and a big (average) ear of corn on the floor where his eyes can rest on it. The first thing in the morning and evening is to watch the dale farm showing thus far this year is a credit to all concerned and the future is especially bright and promising. "Mac," and all concerned, have our sincerest best wishes. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. H. St. John, of 889 Giddings avenue, entertained on Tuesday evening most delightfully.

Like the lunchcon served by the host and hostess, they were far above the average and highly appreciated by the fortunate guests.

C; Mrs. Lizzie Yancy, of Richmond, Va.; Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. McAdoo, Miss Underwood's guest; Nahum Brasscher, Mrs. Wm. Scott and daughter, and the editor of The Gazette. The Negroe's Offense The offense to which the refined and cultured Negroes object in this country, is not the white (?) man's possessions, not his learning, nor his dress and number and splendor of his changes, but his contempt. That he possesses great fortunes and a white (?) skin does not disturb us; but that he throws his mud over us, shows by his whole attitude that we count for nothing in his eyes, because we are not rich; and how could we be when our parents were robbed of 250 years of unrequited labor. Their prejudice against us is because the masses of Negroes are uneducated and have not a pale face like themselves. The above mentioned results of the white man are what affronts us and righteously so. He heaps suffering upon us needlessly and humiliates us by our gratitude. It is not what is vulgar within us, but that which is noblest and asserts itself in the face of this offensive pride. Do not accuse us of envy—we feel none. It is our manhood that is wounded. Accord to us that which you would have us accord to you. Let me say in conclusion: Not all white men feel thus toward the refined and cultured colored man. The rich and deeply cultured white man thinks, and acts differently. Good taste and modesty always hinder the well-bred gentleman and lady from flaunting his or her superiority over the unfortunate. The great need of today is, well-bred men of good taste and modesty for reporters on our great daily papers and the associate press; men who are so well bred that they have regard for the weakest ciliate and republican dress of his color, previous condition of his hair; men who would not speak of a colored man or woman as a "coon," "moke," "darkey," "dingy," or "nigger" and the like; or a Jew as a "sheeeney," and Irishman as a "mick," a German as a "dutchman," an Italian as a "daage," etc. No well bred man of good taste and modesty will do it. The same is true of newspapers and all publications, as of individuals. H. C. BAILY, Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church. "OZONIZED OX MARROW" so The Ozonized Ox Marrow Co.

Miss Frankie Orser Miss Pearl Ackers Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fail. 4 All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. are subject to the same physical laws as folks走 from the physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displacements or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, nervousness, stability and lassitude, especially when an invigorating, sustaining medical treatment will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or cause pain, the origin of every movement or cause to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Orser, of 14 Warrenton Street, Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I suffered misery for several years with female irregularities. My back ached; I had a bruise." THIEVING SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF Robins Successfully Defend Nest Against Marauder. A pair of robins proved too much for a marauding squirrel in Independence square yesterday. While on a midair cruise he suddenly stopped as though something special had attracted his attention, and then he came down the tree in a slow, unconcerned manner. The secret was out when he shyly began the ascent of another oak, in the branches of which a pair of the redbreads had built their nest. His little eyes glistening and his whole manner that of a thief, he moved up the tree trunk, and had almost reached the little blue eggs in the nest when the mother bird and her mate saw him and flew down from their upper perch. They were on Mr. Squirrel in an instant, and the fur flew when their beaks got into action. The retreat of the squirrel was quickly effected. The watchers were amused. Then a second time the robber advanced, and was so successful as to get one of the eggs in his paws before the birds came to the rescue. The squirrel was nonplussed, as he couldn't back down with the egg with the birds pecking him, and he was loath to relinquish his hard-won prize. His hesitation was fatal, though, as the birds, with a concerted rush, fairly shoved him out so quickly and furiously that the egg was dropped and smashed on the ground. The squirrel then gave up his purloring expedition.—Philadelphia Record. The first melodrama was produced at the Covent Garden theater on Nov. 14, 1802, and was called "The Tale of Mystery." Good intentions should be covered with asbestos. You know what's paved with them. AN OLD TIMER. Has Had Experiences. A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since it came upon the market 8 years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum, and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terrily. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him." "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with completely satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. Look in pkgs. for "The Road to Wellville." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1906. I could not sleep and could hardly drag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham, a doctor from Nashville, and I surprise, every ache and pain left me. I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health." Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Summer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Dear Mr. Pinkham: "I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the abdomen; was very nervous and irritable, and my trouble grew worse every month. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and I no longer fear my monthly periods." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more erush you.

The University of Notre Dame, it appears, has some features that can not be duplicated in any other school. It is one of the most beautiful buildings, with settled traditions reaching back sixty-four years, with a distinguished staff of prosecuents and excellent library and laboratory facilities. It has a paternal kind—strong without being oppressive; and as it embraces in its scope the grammar school, high school and college, it has a strong and potent. Perhaps the most remarkable feature, is the famous Indiana university, however, is the fact that it has its present marvelous development absolutely without endowment. An announcement of its present prowess is provided at Notre Dame appears on another page. Smokers Shown by Handwriting. Mr. Saunders, a former schoolmaster, told the British house of lords committee on juvenile smoking that he could detect smokers by their handwriting—that of boys who smoked being a loose, flabby kind. Handwriting, he said, was a cinematograph of the heart. BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING It Is Dedicated by the W. L. Douglas Co. at Brockton. The dedication a short time ago on the new administration and jobbing house building erected by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mammoth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all its undertakings. The dedicatory program included open house from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. with concert by the Mace Gay orchestra, and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all. The building itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out, including over 11,000 to the retail dealers in the United States who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to shoe manufacturers and all allied industries in Brockton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interested call and inspect the new plant, and says "the latch string is always out." All departments of the plant were open for inspection, the three factories as well as the new building, and visitors were received and escorted through the industrial maze by ex-Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads of the various departments. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and customers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received. The new building is 260 feet long and 60 feet wide and two stories in height. The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor. The jobbing department will carry a complete stock of men's, boys', youths', masses' and children's shoes, slippers, rubbers and findings equal to any jobbing house in the country. Buyers are especially invited to come here to trade, and every effort possible will be made to suit their convenience. There will be a finely appointed sample room on the second noor, with an office in which both telephone and telegraph will be installed, with operators, both Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires to be used. There will also be arrangements for the receipt and despatch of mail. Our Pattern Department PRINCESS HOUSE GOWN. $645.

There is no frost deep in the wood to make trouble for even the best job of painting, and the general seasoning of the summer has put the wood into good condition in every way. The weather, moreover, is more likely to be settled for the necessary length of time to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a very important precaution. An old and successful painter said to the writer the other day: "House owners would get more for their money if they would allow their painters to take more time, especially between coats. Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,' several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through. It is inconvenient, of course, but, if one would suffer this slight inconvenience, it would add two or three years to the life of the paint." All this is assuming, of course, that the paint used is the very best to be used. The purest of white lead and the purest of lined oil unmixed with any cheaper of the cheap mixtures, often known as "White Lead," and oil which has been doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn oil or other of the adulterants known to the trade are used, all the precautions of the skilled painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly in a year or so and therefore, make painting bills too expensive. House owner should have his painter bring the ingredients to the premises separately, white lead of some well known reliable brand and lined oil of equal quality and mix the paint just before applying it. Painting need not be expensive and unsatisfactory if the old painter's suggestions are followed. Mexican Coffee Kaiser's Favorite.

Capt. Elsays: "I contracted kidney trouble during the Civil War, and the occasional attacks finally developed into a chronic case. At one time I had to use a crutch and cane to get about. My back was lame and weak, and besides the aching, there was a distressing retention of the kidney secretions. I was in a bad way when I began using Doon's Kidney Pills in 1901, but the remedy cured me, and I have been well ever since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box, Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. Chamis Skin of Commerce. Chamois Skin of Commerce. Charles C. Druedling, of Philadelphia, has written an article for the American Journal of Pharmacy on the subject of chamois skins. What is known in the market as chamois skins, he says, is really an oil-tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply of skins from the chamois animal is very limited—enough could not be obtained in a year to supply the United States for more than a single day. He made special inquiry on a recent visit to Switzerland about the annual crop of the chamois skin and ascertained that from 5,000 to 6,000 skins would be a fair average yearly crop. This skin is heavier than the skin of the sheep or lamb, also much coarser. For strength and durability the chamois skin is preferable, but for ordinary use and appearance the oil-tanned sheep skin lining would, in most instances, be preferred. World's Cotton Consumption. The consumption of cotton from 1893 to 1898 averaged only 9,000,000 bales annually in the whole world, but from 1898 to 1903 the average was 10,684,146 bales annually, and the average price was three cents per pound greater than for the previous period. If the consumption increases at the same ratio during the next five year period the average will be nearly 13,000,000 bales annually, and the prices will be much higher than in the previous period. This indicates a prosperous future for the cotton producer and manufacturer, as well as for the export trade. A WINNING START. A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force for the Day. Everything goes wrong if the breakfast lies in your stomach like a mud ple. What you eat does harm if you can't digest it—it turns to poison. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says: "Two years ago I contracted a very annoying form of indigestion. My stomach was in such a condition that a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great distress. "I was slow to believe that trouble could come from such a simple diet but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course and have not suffered except when injudiciously varying my diet. "I have been a teacher for several years and find that my easily digested breakfast means a saving of nervous force for the entire day. My gain of ten pounds in weight also causes me to testify to the vajue of Grape-Nuts. "Grape-Nuts holds first rank at our table." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

The idea that fashionable women are too busy and had too many interests to feel acute sorrow over their broken crockery was disproved the other day when Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish went into the principal dry goods store in Newport with a friend who stopped to watch a man who was selling cement for cut glass and called to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is a cement for cut glass which not only mends it but makes it ring as clearly as if it were new." Mrs. Fish called back: "My servants break so much of my glass now that it is heartbreaking and if they knew it it were possible to mend it they would break it all, so I don't care for any, thank you." SORES ON HA2IDS. Suffered for a Long Time Without Relief—Doctor Was Afraid to Touch Them—Cured by Cuticura. "For a long time I suffered with sores on the hands which were itching, painful and disagreeable. I had three doctors, and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; another said I never could be cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands in the water in the dye-house where I work. I saw in the papers about the wonderful cures of the Cuticura Remedies and procured some of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In three days after the application of the Cuticura Ointment my hands began to peel and were better. The soreness disappeared, and they are now smooth and clean, and I am still working in the dye-house. Mrs. A. E. Maurer, 2340 State St., Chicago, Ill., July 1, 1905." A novel method of preaching the gospel was recently tried in France with striking success. Pastor Delattre from Roame (Reformed church), in company with Pastor Sainton, of the Baptist church, in Paris, visited with an automobile the departments of Loire, Rhone, Allier, Saone et Loire, within a radius of about 90 miles. Pastor Delattre writes: "During nearly two months, from our automobile, we have been able to preach the gospel on market places, from fair to fair, distributing thousands of tracts and selling no less than 2,600 copies of the New Testament."

The vital nicotine is garnered in these pearlike hairs, but as it is impossible to shave off these hairs, and would be a scarcely commendable achievement if it could be undertaken, it becomes necessary to preserve the whole foliage for commercial purposes."
