THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 6. The Afro-American Had the Best of the Battle, in Spite of Nelson's Rough and Foul Tactics. Goldbeld, Nev., Sept. 4—Battling Nelson lost Monday's fight by fouling Joe Gans in the forty-second round of the best and longest fight seen in many years. Both men were tired when the fight ended, but Gans was apparently the stronger. He was a way ahead on points and had smashed and cut Nelson all through the fight without being severely hurt himself. Shortly after the forty-second round began the men were in their usual clinch. Nelson had his head on Gans' shoulder and his arm down. Several times he hit Gans below the belt, apparently feeling for a vital spot. At last he drew back his right arm and hit Gans a vicious blow square in the groin. The colored boy sank to his knees and rolled over on his back. Referee Siler without hesitation ordered Nelson to his corner and awarded the fight to Gans on a foul. Siler's decision received almost unimaginable approval. The foul play was so obvious that not even man who had bet on Nelson could say that it had not been committed. All through the long contest Nelson had employed rough tactics. He repeatedly butted Gans, and had to have his head hauled away by the referee. Referee Siler said that while he would not say that the foul was intentional, there was no doubt but that it had been committed. Nelson, he said, had employed his usual tactics all through the fight and while he knew that Nelson was butting whenever he had an opportunity, he did not disqualify him for that because he saw that it was not hurting Gans and because no other referee had ever disqualified Nelson for doing the same thing. Besides, the people were there to see the fight and he did not want to disappoint them. Siler was loudly cheered as he left the ring, as was Gans, who was carried to his dressing room. Nelson and his seconds were hissed as they departed. Billy Nolan, Nelson's man, was carrying a damaged arm in which he said that Gans had promised not to claim the decision on a foul and yet he jumped at the first opportunity to make such a claim. Al Nelson would say was that Gans was tired and quit. Gans in many ways put up a remarkable fight. His endurance surprised everyone. His work was the more wonderful when it is known that in the thirty-third round he broke his right hand. Never after that did he strike a blow with the exception of a few short arm jolts while clenching. He did all his work with the left hand. Gans' generalship was shown when he broke the hand. In the thirty-third round he landed a hard right hand punch on the side of Nelson's face. A bone in the hand snapped and Gans stepped back with an expression of pain. He limped around as though he had hurt a foot and no one realized that he had injured the right hand. Gans said after the fight that Nelson was comparatively strong and Nelson was growing weaker all the time. "Larry" Sullivan announced for Gans that he would meet Nelson in two weeks in another fight, as he was sure he could whip him and did not want to take advantage of the foul. It is hardly probable, however, that the men will meet again in that time. The first fifteen rounds of the fight were fast. After that the men slowed up and only at intervals was there a rally. Although Gans was far ahead of Nelson in points and most of the time looked like a sure winner, Nelson put up a wonderful fight on his side. The endurance shown by Nelson was extraordinary. Time and again Gans would jolt him on the jaw, sounding the Dane back. His knees would bend and his eyes become glazed, but he always followed a clinch through the ropes, so he would come back fighting as hard as ever. Gans fought a remarkably clean fight. He was fair in everything and twice when he knocked Nelson down picked him up. One time when one of Gans' punches knocked Nelson through the ropes, Gans picked him up and helped him to his feet. As the colored boy stood with his hands down waiting for Nelson to steady himself Nelson gave him a vicious blow in the stomach. Nelson was blissed for this by the crowd. The attendance was about 5,000. About 200 women were present. Mitchell's Record in Springfield. Springfield, O.—About ten years ago Prof. Z. W. Mitchell came to Springfield. Being one of the most affable colored men who ever visited the city, it was not long until he had made friends with a large number of colored people and many of the leading white men. He became identified with the Negro churches and took an active interest in their affairs. Going to Arthur D. Hosterman, who was the owner of the Republic-Times, he made an agreement with him to write a column of colored news for his paper, urging that such a feature would be a good thing for the republican organ of the county. Later on Mitchell induced Mr. Hosterman to aid him financially in starting a Negro paper here called the Loyal Legion, to boost the enterprise he was fostering, whilst was an association among the people known as the Loyal Legion of Labor of the South, a stock company and by giving stocks as collateral secured about $100 from the First National bank. Later Mr. Hosterman gave him financial assistance in the purchase of The Standard, a Negro paper published in Columbus. Mr. Hosterman says he loaned him about $100 and has never received anything from him. Mr. Hosterman says after leaving here Prof. Mitchell went to Chillicothe, where he understands that he had some trouble in the schools, where he was employed, and left there. From there Mr. Hosterman says Mitchell went to northern Ohio and the last heard of him in Akron or Cleveland working his Loyal Legion of Labor movement. Mr. Hosterman says he was an intelligent fellow and a smooth talker. All of the above information was received from Mr. Hosterman, who met him shortly after he came here from the south.—Akron Beacon Journal. The following is from the Seattle (Wash.) Republican of Aug. 24, 1906: Accustomed to clubbing any Negro they had a desire to do the Texas fire eaters were terribly set back one day last week when a number of Negro soldiers not only refused to be regulated, but actually turned regulator themselves.

The foul was most palpable, and when the excitement of Nelson's foul blow had subsided I immediately awarded the fight to the colored man. "Summed up, the fight was a poor one—that is, from a scientific and clean-hitting standpoint. It was simply a fight of endurance with 'Bat' trying to out-endure the colored man.

The Negro troops of the United States have the praise in all of the posts in the north and west where they have been stationed of the most orderly of any in the army, and it is rather strange that they would suddenly become so desperate as soon as they are sent to a environment. We need lawlessness on the part of the United States soldiers or any one else, but those devils in Texas as need just a little bit more of the kind of regulating that they got from the Negro troops one day last week and then they might be good. Mrs. F. J. Loudin has received a copy of the Norwood (England) News which speaks of Hiawatha, the six year old son of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor, as promising to be a musical prodigy. He recently acknowledged the receipt of some concert tickets by a little note set to music, a remarkable performance for one of his years. His father, the eminent composer, will be remembered as visiting Ravenna a year ago to pay a visit of condolence to Mrs. Loudin, he having been a warm friend of Mrs. Loudin and her deceased husband during their sojourn in England.—Ravenna (O.)

Goldfield, Nev.—Battling Nelson is the occupant of a dark room, shut off from all communication with the outside world and under the constant care of doctors. The Dane is in bad shape after his fight with Gans. His face is bruised and shaded almost beyond recognition, and at times he is delirious.

Both he and Billy Nolan insist they did not get a square deal. Feeling against Nelson and Nolan is still high among the miners. While they saw a good fight they still resent the conditions imposed upon Gans. If Nelson tried to remain here long and go about at all he probably would be called to fight a few battles.

TEX RICKARD OFFERS BIG PURSE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE BETWEEN GANS AND BRITT. Nelson is reported to have declared he will never again fight in Goldfield. Gans has said that if he meets the Dane again it must be for the winner to take the entire purse and a $10,000 side bet. Nevertheless, it is thought that another fight between the two will be fixed up. Geo. Siler has added to the anti-Nelson sentiment by declaring he would never again referee a fight where Nelson was one of the contestants. He said he never saw a fight where one of the principals fouled so reportedly as did Nelson.

William Edward Clemens, fifteenth grand master, was born in Long, Darke county, O. Oct. 15, 1865. The little hamlet was the scene of a happy childhood and youth with the exception of a brief period of two years that were spent at Dayton. On account of superior scholastic and social privileges the family moved to Toledo in 1883, where he has since resided. There he entered the grammar school, was promoted to the Central high, from which he was compelled to leave a year before graduation on account of ill health. After a term at the Ohio business university he entered the employ of J. J. Freeman, leading jeweler. He was a valuable and trusted employee for 15 years, resigning his position in September, 1962, to enter the county treasurer's office, where he has made an enviable record for trustworthiness and ability. Mr. Clemens was billed in Amazon lodge, No. 4, F. A. M., Dec. 7, 1877, passed Feb. 28, 1888, and raised Mar. 6, 1888, and has been prominent in Masonic circles ever since. He has filled nearly every in-person local bodies with credit and for five years has served as master, during which time the lodge enjoyed unprecedented prosperity. He is the king of Maumee chapter. No. 6, R. A. M., generalissimus of St. John's commandery, No. 5, K. T.; a members of St. Matthew's consistory and Mecca temple, nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The grand lodge soon recognized his ability and capacity for hard work and has honored him with several offices. For four years he was deputy grand master and is now entering his fifth year as grand master. During his administrations, the lodges have greatly increased in strength, numerically and financially. A large number of new lodges have been formed. This fact is due to the indefatigable labors of Mr. Clemens. During his administration an official history of the grand lodge, F. and A. M., state of Ohio, was compiled by the late most worshipful and Hon. William Hartwell Parham, of Cincinnati, collated by Most Worshipful and Hon. Jeremiah Arthur Brown, of this city, historiographers, and was presented at the grand lodge in Lima, and session there, an honor never before recorded a grand master during his time as was the presentation of a handsome grand master's apron to Mr. Clemens. Honors have come to him along other lines as well; being an ardent church man he has served Warren A. M. e church for many years, both as trustee and steward and leader, and at present is secretary of the trustee board, over his life is in the Sunday-school, over which he has been superintendent for 17 years. He is a trustee of Wilberforce university and was the choice of the electoral college as lay delegate to the general conference of the A. M. e church which convened in Chicago, May 1, 1904. Mr. Clemens has a handsome wife, two bright boys and a charming daughter, the oldest son, Edward M., and daughter, Ina, being members of the Toledo high school, to make life desirable. The family home on Sherman street is delightfully cozy and a generous hospitality is graciously dispensed. We cannot close this brief sketch without voicing the hope that Mr. Clemens may have length of years in which to enjoy his honors and to help in uplifting his race. Bacon Now for Mammy and Joe. The mother of Joe Gans telegraphed to him at the ringside as follows: Joe: The eyes of the world on you. Young Peter says you ought to win.

THREE CAUGHT IN NET. ADOLPH SEGAL AND TWO BANK ERS ARE ARRESTED ON A FRAUD CHARGE. Philadelphia, Pa. — Charged with Philadelphia, Sept. 6 — Charged with having defrauded the depositors of the Real Estate Trust Co. of this city, out of many millions of dollars Adolph Segal, a promoter of many enterprises; William F. North, the treasurer of the trust company, and Marshall S. Collingwood, the assistant treasurer, were arrested Wednesday at the instance of District Attorney Bell, who has spent nearly a week in investigating the affairs of the wrecked institution. Segal was held in $25,000 bail and the two trust company officers in $10,000 each. They entered bond and will be given a hearing today. This turn in the affairs of the company is only one of the many sensations expected to develop in connection with the failure, which, it is estimated, will exceed $10,000,000 before the receiver finishes his investigation. The affidavits accompanying the warrants were sworn to by Walter C. Browning, a depositor and creditor of the Real Estate Trust Co. They averted that Segal, North and Collingwood, with Frank K. Hipple, the president of the company, who committed suicide, and with other unknown persons, defrauded the trust company "out of many millions of dollars," and that they fraudulently applied the money to their own use. It is further charged that Segal was an abettor to the embezzlement of many millions of dollars, and that he perjury in knowingly having furnished to the commissioner of banking of Pennsylvania false reports of the value of the company's assets, resources and liabilities. Collingwood and North are also accused of having received money from depositors after they knew the company was insolvent. Adolph Segal, who is looked upon as the principal in the failure of the institution, had nothing to say after his arrest. He contented himself by referring all persons to his attorneys. Segal is a promoter of many enterprises in this city and Pennsylvania. To carry on his operations he borrowed. Receiver Earle says, more than $5,000,000 for which he gave to President Hipple, the only man in the bank he dealt with, securities that were insufficient. It was at first believed that Hipple did not benefit by his dealings with Segal, but later developments showed that he was deep in the schemes of Segal and a partner in some of his companies. A SULZER BOOMLET It Is Let Loose by Opponents of Hearst's Candidacy for Governor. Albany, N. Y.-Two events of importance in preparation for the democratic state campaign took place here Wednesday. First and most important was the conference of democrats from many counties of the state called to discuss the situation in the party, the central figure of which was District Attorney Jerome, of New York. This meeting was aimed chiefly to prevent if possible the nomination or endorsement by the state convention at Buffalo of William R. Hearst. The other incident was a conference of representatives of several radical democratic organizations from which emanated a statement criticizing Mr. Hearst and declaring in favor of the nomination of Congressman William Sulzer, of New York. At this conference was present Albert S. Dulin, of New Jersey, a close personal friend of William Jennings Bryan. In an interview afterward Mr. Dulin spoke in favor of Mr. Sulzer. The democratic conference was addressed by Mr. Jerome and others. Adjournment was taken to September 25 at Buffalo, the day and place of the state convention, and resolutions were adopted setting forth the views of the conference in opposing boss rule. WELCOMED HOME BY NEIGHBORS W. J. Bryan Returns to Lincoln, Neb., After Circling the Globe. Lincoln, Neb.-William Jennings Bryan Wednesday night returned to his home, and the "home folks" welcomed him with every evidence of approval. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as such. Lincoln has more republicans than democrats, but last night there was no line of partisan division and the welcome extended to both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan was sincere and joyful. It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd. It was a half holiday in the city, and every train from over the state arrived loaded down, bringing not only Nebraska people, but many from nearby states. The city was handsomely decorated for the homecoming, the fronts of business houses being a mass of flags and bunting, while in the residence quarters lithographs of Mr. Bryan in the windows, together with the national colors, were everywhere seen. The non-partisan nature of the reception was emphasized in every way. Welcome addresses were made by Gov. Mickey and Mayor Brown, to which Mr. Bryan replied, expressing his gratification at being home again. Was $48,000 Shy in His Accounts. Vicksburg, Miss.-B. S.

Cleveland, Saturday, Sept. 8, 1906. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Boasted southern "chivalry" is a myth. The Springfield, O., and Springfield Mo., lynchers are still at liberty, with little prospect of proper punishment being meted out to them. This is anything but encouraging to the advocates of law and order. When our people at Atlantic City, N. J., had an opportunity to purchase a suitable piece of ocean front for bathing purposes they failed to do so. Now southern influence has induced the hotel keepers there to exclude Afro-Americans generally, and their employees in particular, The Ohio Afro-American Industrial and Educational fair, held at Columbus recently, was certainly not creditable to our people, if the accounts in the daily papers of that city are to be credited. We were fearful of just such an outcome, and therefore refused to assist in booming it. This is the time of the year when many southern states experience great difficulty in securing farm hands. This year they have been compelled to go to the extreme of paying the fines of able-bodied prisoners and putting them to work on their plantations, taking a chance upon getting an equivalent of the fines in labor. Less mob violence and lynching and little better treatment of the southern Afro-American laborers would work wonders in this problem. Dr. Dobson, head surgeon of the great hospital in China, who is in this country on a furlough, in speaking of tourists and sailors in that country, says: "They drink and carouse and generally create disturbances. It is also well known that numbers of American young men are living with Chinese women whom they have never married. It is done openly." Surely they must be southerners, for this is the custom long followed in that section of this country. Afro-American women being the sufferers and victims. A dispatch from Cape Town, South Africa, recently announced serious riots on the part of unemployed native blacks, and stated that they have just and good grounds for complaint, better than the Russian peasantry, who are acting in the same way. Just as Russia treats its peasantry, England its South African subjects, Belgian its in the Congo Free State, Africa, so does this country treat southern Afro-Americans, the only difference being that many are doubleless killed (lynched) in the south. And yet these (with the exception of Russia) and other so-called civilized countries or powers are sending out bleeding-at-the-heart sympathy for the Russian peasantry. It wearies one—such hypocrisy. GANS AND NELSON At best pugilism is brutal and ought to be stopped in this country. The Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfield, New, last Monday afternoon made this so clear that there is no ground for argument. The brutal blow given Gans by Nelson in order to foul and save himself from being knocked out, is a criminal offense pure and simple. The beating administered Nelson from the first round to the end of the fight was something terrible—inhuman. This was doubtless true in a measure of the few blows Gans received from Nelson. While we rejoice with others in the victory won by Gans, yet there is that feeling that all must possess, which makes a possible repetition of the fight exceedingly repugnant. The endurance that both men exhibited, particularly the victor, was simply wonderful. The following editorial from the Cleveland Daily Leader of Wednesday is pertinent and exceptional: Negro Prowess. "In the arena at Goldfield the Negro showed the more active brain, the quicker thought, the better head—except as to such rather unintellectual use of it as a ram makes when he turns himself into butting machine. The colored fighter was the cleverer and smarter. The white man represented brute force and buldog endurance. "These facts are admitted by millions of men whose views of life are, to say the least, far from sentimental or more abstract philosophy. The impression made by the skill and generalship of 'Joe' Gans will be far beyond the widest limits of more exalted discussion of the possibilities of the Negro race. "Prize fighting is a low and pernict- ous form of human competition, but it may count, now and then, for fairer and more reasonable views of nationalities and races. In that sense it can prove a source of instruction and even enlightenment to men not easily reached by appeals for broad judgment of life and its problems. "It is quite clear that those who insist upon the complete and eternal inferiority and comparative helplessness of the Negro should discourage all such tests of his prowess as that which has been made in Nevada."

Worse Than Barbartans St. Genevieve, Mo.—An Afro-American was injured by a train two miles from here on the 27th ult. He crawled 10,000 yards and a farmer brought him to town. Physicians amputated his foot. After the operation the doctors found themselves in a dilemma. Neither the city nor the county would receive their patient, and after keeping him in his office eight hours Dr. Pinchin came to him to the 'Frisco station where the accident was refused the poor sufferer. He met on the train platform, where he remained dark, without food, drink or attention. A good samaritan of the race then took him in charge temporarily. The New South's "Justice!" Birmingham, Ala.—Earle Fletcher, who was hanged here for the murder of "Bob" Payne, a fellow convict, at Flat Top mines, created a scene by denouncing Criminal Judge S. L. Weaver from the scaffold just before the drop fell on the 26th utl. Fletcher declared that the judge had granted him to John Hammond (white) and saved him but when it came to his (Fletcher's) case, the court went fishing. This is southern "justice" for the Afro-American. As to Social Equality. The black man who says that he does not want social equality with the people of equal standing with himself as a man and a citizen whether they be black or white, simply does not know what he wants; and the black man who does not know the difference between social privileges and those about how he shut tight about the matter when he gets at a point where he does not know whether he is going or coming. —N.

GANS WILLING TO DO BATTLE AGAIN Nelson Can Have Another Chance, But Will Get Short End of Purse. Goldfield, Nev.—Joe Gans is the most popular man in Nevada. The mining men think, him the whitest pugilist that ever stood in two shoes. He appeared Tuesday afternoon on Goldfield's main street, and was accorded an ovation. Joe's features were pretty badly damaged. His lower lip is badly swollen and protrudes in an ugly fashion and there are cuts and bruises on his face. His right hand is badly swollen where the bones were broken. Otherwise he declares himself "fit as a tiddle" and is not over stiff as the result of his long fight. Gans has made considerable money on the fight through private bets, and on leaving here will go to San Francisco. He received scores of telegrams of congratulation, and declares himself willing to fight Nelson again for a purse to be divided in exactly the same fashion as was the purse for Monday's fight. "This time though," said Joe, rolling his eyes comically, "the $20,000 comes to me." Nolan Got Extra Money. It has developed that the purse for the fight was really $33,500. Rex Rickard declares that he voluntarily gave Nolan $2,500 more for himself. The impression prevailing though, is that Nolan 'held the club up' for that amount. Nelson stock is way down below par here. The Dane and his manager are holding themselves aloof from everybody, and are preparing to leave town. Gans declares his belief that Nelson fouled him intentionally, knowing that he had no chance to win and says that he (Gans) was comparably fresh when the cool blow was strickt, and was of things. Had he not broken a bone in his right hand in the 27th round he would have finished the Dane before the 33th round. Jimmy Britt says he is ready to meet either Gans or Nelson. MAKE MONEY!

(350) SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S EVENTS MOST IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS AT HOME TOLD IN CON- DENSED FORM. LATE FOREIGN DISPATCHES Interesting Items of News Gathered from All Parts of the Globe and Outlined in the Briefest Manner Possible. POLITICAL William Jennings Bryan made personal appeal to the Democrats of Illinois to drum Roger C. Sullivan out of the national committee. In a carefully prepared statement, the Nebraska brought pandemonium to the Jefferson club banquet at Chicago by announcing that he took his indorsement by the Peoria convention as far from a compliment, that he rejected Sullivan as a political associate and that it is up to the party to "sprew out those who traffic in politics." John M. Nelson, Republican, was elected to congress in the Second Wisconsin district for the unexpired term of Henry C. Adams, deceased. James C. McLaughlin, of Muskegon, defeated Congressman Roswell, P. Bishop, of Ludington, for congressman from the Ninth Michigan district. Congressman Washington Gardner was nominated at the Third Michigan congressional district Republican primaries. T. H. B. Jones was nominated for congress by the Democrat of the Tenth Ohio congressional district. The Democrat of the Third Ohio congressional district nominated E. J. Jones for congress. Not only was Gov.

Returns from the primary elections throughout Wisconsin indicate the nomination of Gov. James O. Davidson, Republican, for governor, over Irvine L. Lennoot; John A. Aylward, Democratic for governor, leads Ernest Merton. William J. Bryan was given a rousing welcome in New York, which culminated in a meeting at Madison Square Garden, where to a crowd of 20,000, he outlined his political creed, declaring for war on the trusts, for the revision of the tariff and for public ownership of railroads. Democratic leaders from all parts of the country took part in the homecoming celebration. W. J. Bryan told a Labor day crowd in Detroit that he favors shorter hours for the workman.

The slogan "one hundred million dollars for reclamation," was brought before the irrigation congress at Boise, Idaho, by Fred J. Kelsel, of Ogden, chairman of the Utah delegation. Mr. Kelsel said the west must go to congress with the same mind. He would not, he said, insist on this whole amount in one lump appropriation. He was willing "to be dealt with and hagged with a little." President Rickard, of the Goldfield Athletic club, said: "Young Roosevelt was not at the ringside during the fight, nor has he been in Goldfield. A lawyer of New York told Larry Sullivan that Roosevelt, Jr., was present, and Sullivan announced it." W. R. Hearst in an address in Syracuse, N.

Pack, one of the pioneers in the lumber trade of the northwest and formerly a resident of Cleveland died at his summer home at Southport. The hopes of those who tentatively suggested a proposition of mutual concession as a means of ending the Cuban rebellion were shattered when President Palma called Gen. Cebreco, one of the proposed peace commissioners, to the palace to inform him that the government had no concessions to offer or accept and no intention other than fighting the matter through and suppressing the insurrection. As days and weeks pass with no appreciable diminution of the Cuban revolution, apprehension increases.

Now, the mistress' master was a critic of renown; that is, in the winter. In the summer he was a seeker after amusement, so when he heard of the cook's confession he made a bee line for the kitchen porch, where Mary sat peeling potatoes. "Mary, I hear that you love art and literature," was his greeting. "Oh, don't just!" and Mary threw him a soulful glance. "Then what do you think of Dbsen?" Wicked little devils were dancing a can-can in the master's eyes. "Dbsen?" Mary became thoughtful. "Now, I don't believe I know him." "Oh, you must, Mary, Dbsen; now think." Mary's hands flew up in surprise at her own stupidity. "Dbsen, of course, the gentleman what draws the Dbsen girls. Well, I guess I do know him; and I love him, Mr. Brown, simply love him."

The latter went to Ravenna for a few days' visit and the former to New York City. The Starlight Champs played an errortess game Sunday and, backed by the perfect pitching of Bright, who did not allow a hit, shut the Generchaks out by a score of 6 to 0. Bright fanned 13 men and gave but two basks on balls. Mrs. R. G. Walker, Mrs. David Wilborn, Mrs. Mayme Jackson Brown and Miss Eva Radden, of Springfield, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McIntire Miss Carrie Brown and Mr.Hooker Page spent Sunday week at Niagara. The Springfield ladies returned home last week Wednesday. Mr. Henry Allingsworth, of Wheeling, who lived here about 25 years ago, was in the city Sunday and Monday. He is president of the eighth annual Enamination celebration to be held in the city Sept. 21 on the West Virginia state fair grounds and came to Cleveland to engage the editor of The Gazette as the principal speaker of the day. The reception at St. James' church, East End, Thursday evening, for the pastor, Rev. Maxwell, was a glorious affair. A fine program was rendered, the editor of The Gazette being the speaker of the evening. The pastor responded in his usual forceful and pleasing manner. Refreshments were served. Rev. Maxwell is deserving of all the honor shown him. A goodly number attended the excursion to Put-in-Bay recently. The presence of policemen had a salutary effect upon those who had been in the habit of creating disturbances in past years. The Detroit people who were at the Bay the day same day had trouble on their return home as the result of a white brute repeatedly slapping one of our women on the boat. He was nearly killed and only got what he deserved, if reports be true. This is the truth and the daily papers' Associated Press story of a "race riot," etc. was almost wholly fiction. Mr. Charles Sides died last week Wednesday after a brief illness and was buried Friday afternoon from the family residence, 76 Mayflower street, J. S. Jackson of Mt. Zion church officiating. A quartette from the church choir furnished music. His brother, Mr. Richard Sides, of "Yellow Spring," and sister, Mrs. Byrd, of Xenla; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jones, of Daxton, the last named another sis- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1906. ter, attended the funeral. Mr. Slides leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters to mourn his demise. All have the sympathy of the community. He was a good husband and father and was highly esteemed. The meeting at Antioch church last week Wednesday evening to raise funds to assist Attorneys S. L. Hutchins and N. W. Parden, of Chattanooga, Tenn., held under the auspices of our local Ministers' union, drew an audience which filled the pretty church to the doors. The pastor, Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailley, and a number of our pastors were seated upon the roostrum, Messrs. Hutchins and Parden, who were attorneys for Edward Johnson, the Afro-American lynched at Chattanooga last March, three days after a stay of execution had been granted by the United States supreme court, gave graphic descriptions of the victim's terrible treatment during the various trials in that city and Knoxville, Tenn., and of the lynching. Also of the various phases of the case, and what it means to our people generally. The sheriff of the county in which is located Chattanooga, nine deputies and 15 citizens have been indicted for contempt of court and will be tried in Washington, D. C., on Oct. 15. The two attorneys mentioned were compelled to leave Chattanooga and dare turn in. They are holding meetings in number. Washington with a view to raising means to help sustain them and their families until after the Washington trial when they will either return to Chattanooga or more likely locate elsewhere. Fifty dollars was raised at the meeting at Antioch last week. At the close of the attorneys' pathetic and eloquent addresses the audience called for the editor of The Gazette, who was present in the audience and responded with a brief and forceful address as usual. Messrs. Parden and Hutchins last left week Monday for Youngstown where they held a meeting in the evening. Last Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock two youths of the race were arrested near the corner of Sterling and Central avenues for loitering. It is a well known fact that a crowd of very rough, noisy and bad boys of the race make their headquarters in that vicinity. A crowd of two or three hundred persons collected, nearly all of them seeing one of the officers repeatedly strike one of the boys after he had been placed in the patrol wagon. Some very bad stories are also told on this particular officer, while both of the policemen say that some very harsh and threatening language was used by one of the boys to them. This the boy endorsed in a speech with a representative of The Gazette at the station about 6:30 p.m. there was much talk Sunday and Monday of a purpose to punish the officer who beat the boy in the patrol wagon, not only for that, but on account of several other very bad things certain 'persons in conversation charged him with. Crowds of our people hung around the corner of Laurel, Sterling and Central avenue, from the time of the arrest until long after dark. The Sayles boy, who was beaten by the officer, after being liberated from the third precinct police station, came back to the corner where he was arrested and told a number of persons he was not beaten, that he was no hurt much, this was the same kind of talk, with the officer that he endorsed all Officer Crone said about him in conversation with his arrest, that he indulged in to the representative of The Gazette at the jail earlier in the evening. This in the face of the fact that fully 150 people saw the officer beat him so badly to blood-shot both of his eyes and raise big lumps on his head. If the several charges brought against this officer have any foundation in fact, something should be done. The other boy's case was postponed in police court Tuesday morning.

"The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thankful to you. My trouble was eruption of the skin, which broke out in spots all over my body, and caused a continual itching which nearly drove me wild at times. I got medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure me, and when I saw in a paper your ad, I sent to you for the Cuticura book and I studied my case in it. I then went to the drug store and bought one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura Pills. From the first application I received relief. I used the first set and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and was completely cured. I had suffered for two years, and I again thank Cuticura for my cure. Claude N. Johnson. Maple Grove Farm, R. F.

At the muzzle the velocity of the bullet is 2,300 feet a second, which means 2,760 turns a second, assuming that the bullet does not strip in the rifling. The circumference of the bullet is .942 of an inch, which gives a peripheral velocity of 2,600 inches each second, or 13,000 feet a minute. European Nations In Africa.

ORTENTHEBESTPARTOFLIFE Help for Women Passing Through Change of Life Providence has allotted us each at least seventy years in which to fulfill our mission in life, and it is generally our own fault if we die prematurely. Mrs. Mary Koehne Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement is the positive truth. When everything becomes a burden and you cannot walk a few blocks without excessive fatigue, and you break out into perspiration easily, and your face flushes, and you grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and then cannot be crossed in any way, you are have out; you need building up at once! To build up woman's nervous system and during the period of change of life we know of no better medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here is an illustration of Lydia E. Pinkham's Garfield Avenue, Chicago, Ill. writes: "I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for years in my family and it never disappoints; so life is felt that I was always with it. I took in all about six bottles and it did me a great deal of good. It stopped me from headaches with which I had suffered for months before taking the Compound. I feel that if it had not been for this great medicine I would not be to-day. It is splendid for women, old or young and will surely cure all female disorders." Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia, Pinkham of Lynn, Mass., invented the Compound for her advice. Her great experience is at her service, free of cost. 'FRISCO'S CROP OF GENIUS Second Only to New York in Vigor and Freshness of its Literature. New York is of course the great American market for literary wares, says E. S. Martin in Appleton's Magazine. There is also a measure of hospitality shown to writers and their products in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Indianapolis. But San Francisco for thirty years past has beaten all four of these subsidiary literary centers in the freshness and vigor of its inspirations. It has had an ocean of its own to stimulate its imagination, a new country behind and about it and an adventurous and virile population that has liked to live its own life in its own way and dream and live its own romances. It has had money, too. It has sent out its envoys to view the world (and a good many of them have stayed away), and because it has been one of the world's great starting places and landing places it has viewed habitually from its own doorstep pretty much every kind of human creature that has been worth looking at. Altogether, San Francisco has been like no other city of our republic. Atmospheric Poisoning. Atmospheric Poisoning. The protests against the automobile omnibuses of London have received a powerful reinforcement by a declaration of Sir James Dewar on the chemical basis. He is undoubtedly among the high chemical authorities of the world, and his condemnation of the motor buses and freight vans seems conclusive unless invention provides innocuous motive power. Sir James Dewar states that the combustion of petrol or gasoline in these motors throws off vast quantities of noxious gases. Some of these are absolutely poisonous and all injurious. He holds that the air of London is bad enough already without the addition of carbonic acid gas, the sulphurous gases, and, worst of all, the asphyxiating carbonic oxide. Moreover, while he admits that science can improve motors, he declares that it is impossible for it to burn petrol and render the resulting gases innocuous. CAINED 34 POUNDS Persistent Anemia Cured by Dr. William H. Hodgson Remedies Had Failed, "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine. "I was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble anemia. I had spells of vomiting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare to, I had such distress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache I suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast that I could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never left me for seven weeks. About this time I had several numb spells. My feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over, me. "Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me and am perfectly in pain. The distress after eating disappeared and in three weeks I could eat anything I wanted and suffer no inconvenience. I also slept soundly. I have taken several boxes of the pills and have gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly in pain. Now I can cure anemia because they actually make new blood. For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous headaches and many forms of weakness they are recommended even if ordinary medicines have failed. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six weeks after purchase. Medicine Company, Scheracally, N. X. BLESSING OF TACT OF MORE VALUE THAN BEAUTY, SAYS PARISIENNE. Possessing This Quality, Woman Ha- Power to Charm All That Come Within Radius of Her Personality. What is the most popular quality in woman? "The question was sug- ged," writes a Parisienne, "by a cosmopolitan reunion of friends in Paris one night recently, and the various opinions given supplied food for thought. The European countries were well represented—half a dozen Parisians, four Spandards (two of each sex), a Russian, who had been a famous beauty in the years that are gone by, and one Irish woman, who had to represent the British empire in her own person. "The Parisians, without exception, declared that 'esprit' was the quality which gleaned most love, the Spaniards voted for beauty and the Russian for personal magnetism. The Irish woman tentatively uttered the single word 'tact'. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and every one took part in the discussion with real pleasure, but when 'tact' was used it infuriated the audience of 11 voices to one. They all agreed that this quality, though eminently desirable, was too impersonal to attract love. "I wonder if readers of this paragraph will also decide 'tact' as a magnet for love. Personally I think it represents the axle on which the wheels of happy life revolves. Beauty is adorable—the best introduction a woman can have, and one which gives her the right of entry into most places, but it is not enough. 'Esprit' is a dangerous will-o'the-wisp, which leads its worshipers into uncomfortable positions, for a noted wit can rarely resist the temptation to say a clever thing even when it gives untold pain to some other person. "If you will think the matter over," continues this critic, "you will see that 'tact' has much to do with the attracting and capturing of the mischievous little blind god! The most beautiful woman in the world will quickly become undesirable if she does not take the trouble to rub one's fur the right way; or, at least, if she does not avoid rubbing it backward! 'Espirit' is a delightful quality in a salon, but do we care to live with it when life is clouded over and when the sun of success refuses to shine? Tact—at its best—is a gift of nature; certainly it cannot be learned. Of course, we can train ourselves to avoid giving offense, and we can cultivate a 'sweet manner', but the true tact which attracts universal love is born, not made, and of all nature's gifts it is the most desirable. "The woman who possesses it will never give or permit one kiss too many; she will never ask undesirable questions, she will never see the things which she is not expected to see. The woman of inborn tact is a creature of whom men never tire, to whom girls cling. If she be beautiful and witty, so much the better; but she will not let either of these qualities leap to the surface. It is a well-known fact that forgiveness may follow in the train of physical injury, but never in that of wounded vanity; it is equally true that most persons deeply resent being reminded of weaknesses when the weak moment is past. The woman of tact sees all—and sees nothing; hears all—and hears nothing." Take Quail in Nets Netting quail for market is a business of considerable extent along the northern shores of the Mediterranean sea and particularly in Egypt. The first netting takes place in the autumn, when the birds pass from their northern breeding grounds to spend the winter in the south; the second is in the spring, when they journey from their winter resort back to the familiar breeding grounds. Made of gray twine, so as to be as near invisible as possible, these long nets are spread across the line of flight of the birds, the quail are attracted to their doom in various ways. Sometimes artificial calls are used with great effect. In certain parts of the Greek archipelago the first victims are made to entice others into the nets. These early captives are blinded and set in cages in the sun. They begin to sing and the great flocks that follow hear the song and seek to learn its sources. Keeping Fruit Without Decay. It is claimed in France and England that fruit which is subject to early decay can be kept sound for a remarkable period by the immersion in cold water containing three per cent. of the commercial solution of formol. The bath in the water so tinctured with chemicals lasts only about ten minutes. Then, when the fruit has a skin which is eaten, like cherries, berries and grapes, it is placed for five minutes in clear cold water and afterwards spread out to dry. If the skin is not to be eaten, as in the case of oranges, for instance, the formol solution is used without any subsequent bath in water. Gold Job for the Under Man Some years ago an Irishman, not long from the old country, secured a job cutting ice. The foreman gave Pat an ice saw (in those days was cut by hand) and told him to go on the pond and go to work cutting ice. Now, Pat had seen a crosscut saw that is used in cutting logs, that requires a man on either end, and, as the saw that the foreman gave him resembled the crosscut he had seen, he supposed it required two men to work it; so, seeing another man standing near, when he was to commence cutting, he said: "Say, friend, I'll toss up a cent to see who goes below." Down on the Beach. Miss Passe-I don't see why the man should mime. Me. last year they said I was a peach. Miss T拉斯co-Yes, but last year's peaches are not very much in demand this year, you know. THE WINNING STROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.

Cruising for Derelicts The excellent work in destroying a dangerous develoat last week, begun by the Tacoma and completed by the Columbia, gives renewed point to the suggestion hitherto made in these columns that vessels of the navies of the world might with peculiar profit be employed in tracking and destroying the abandoned huks which dot the seas and which present one of the one of the most serious dangers to navigation, says the New York Tribune. Of the need that derelicts shall be destroyed as speedily as possible there can be no question. Many known accidents and disasters have been due to them, and there is reason for supposing that many, perhaps most, of the mysterious disappearances of vessels might truly be explained on the ground that they had come into collision with those wandering destroyers. Carrying no lights, making no noise, giving no signal of any kind, often lying so low in the water as to be scarcely perceptible, and heavy and solid almost against which a vessel can scarcely be guarded in the dark and collision with which is always serious and often disastrous. North Dakota Solves the Adulteration Problem. North Dakota secures to have found the key to the question, "How shall we protect the people from frauds in manufactured products?" A new law has recently gone into effect designed to make it impossible to deceive people into buying inferior and adulterated paint under the impression that they are getting real paint, viz.; pure white lead and linseed oil. The North Dakota lawmakers did not attempt to absolutely prohibit the inferior pigments, or mixtures of pigments. They adopted the slogan, "Let the label tell," and then left to the people to buy whichever they wished. Under this plan, if any one wishes to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground quartz and other cheap elements which are found in many paints and so-called "white leads," no one can object; for they do it with their eyes open. But if they prefer genuine white lead and linseed oil, they can be sure of getting it, for none but the genuine article can bear a label which says "pure white lead." In all other States mixtures are often sold as pure white lead which contain little—sometimes no—real white lead. It would seem that were this same principle applied to food, beverages and all other prepared articles, where deception is practiced upon the buyer, the question would be solved. It gave us free power, we pleased, and we would protect us from unwittingly buying what we did not want. Beit's Deed of Generosity. One of the many persons whom the late Alfred Belt had befriended repaid him with gratitude and abuse. Later the ingrate fell on evil times. Though down in the gutter, he still had a little shame left and would not ask Mr. Belt for help. The South African diamond magnate sent for one of the unucky one's friends and said: "Go and see So-and-So, ask if he wants any help, and give it to him, but don't let him think it is from me. I have had a difference with him and perhaps it would annoy him!" Crucial Test, "Yes, the prisoner was a woman of extraordinary nerve. They tried in every known way to make her nervous." "That so?" "Yes. They shot off a gun unexpectedly, yelled 'Fire!' and told her a distant powder blast was an earthquake. Still she was unmoved. Then they liberated a mouse." "I wager a bank roll against a stogie that the mouse made her nervous." "Not at all. She only stepped on it and laughed." "Great Jupiter! Such a woman as that wouldn't lose her nerve if the earth exploded." "Oh, yes. One of the detectives stepped up and whispered in her ear that her hair had been mussed up for two hours, and then she collapsed." It is usually a great shock to a woman to discover later in the game that her husband knew exactly what he was talking about.
