THE Proper Dresses for Girls, Misses and Grown-Ups MARY Designs for Dresses for Seven and Sventeen. With the coming of cooler days one must pick the dresses which will be in harmony with the change, and nothing is finer than the little smocked frocks of alpaca for young girls. They not only can be worn for the end of the summer season, but later on for school. Alpaca is also much to be commended for the making of dresses for misses' wear, as they are not only serviceable but smart. In fact, it will be distracting if for the majority of the young folks' new gowns, the chosen materials are alpaca, covert coat, serve or volle, as then they will do good service right up to the time when winter clothes and furs become a necessity. cinating suggestion of through the semi-trans brodery in the front, though fuller prominence at the Sweet 17, in her turn with just a few modif the same design to her broderie panel being, her case, so graduated the waist and widen on skirt; while a transpa color band of Valencie a foam of frills in the as a fanish to the elbow also be suggested, whil it would be advisable decorative—to outline With the younger girls it is coming more and more to be the custom to wear the lighter washable materials all the year, the needed warmth being supplied by the extra flannel undergarments. And the dress of decorative design is just as necessary for the seven-year-old as for the 17-year-old miss. But for both the choice may well fall upon white muslin or fine pique trimmed with the broderie anglaise, which as it manages to combine daintiness and durability in the most satisfactory fashion, is likely to go on enjoying the favor of fashion and her followers or many, long while not being worn.

What will Mi Lady's fall hat be made of, plumes and wings, and ribbons galore. And that's what Mi Lady's hat will be made of." It will, of course cost a pretty penny, but then generally when a woman is buying a bonnet she doesn't count the cost until after the bill comes in and then with sweetest resignation she lets dear hubby do the worrying. A point of special note in reference to the new millinery is the extreme length of the plumes seen on many of the dressier styles of hats. Some are almost two feet in length and made to look longer by the manner in which they are placed on the hat. Instead of being curled around the latter, they are put on almost straight, thus showing off to full length. Some are ostrich, although fancy effects are seen. As to colors, white and black will be strong factors in the situation, but the other shades will not be neglected. Brown in the entire range will be used, while green and blue effects will be seen, also certain shades of red, particularly of the raspberry order. A new shade also will be introduced, known as princess blue, which is similar to royal although a trifle gray. Ribbons will be much in evidence, and solid color effects in lighter shades on the body of the hat will be particularly good in soft lustrous weaves, while warp prints in light effects will be used for very dressy hats. These ribbons will be manipulated in a variety of different forms, such as DOGS DEVOURED CHURCH. From the lonelest mission station in the world, on an island 700 yards broad in the remote arctic regions north of Labrador, Rev. E. J. Peck has reached England after a perilous voyage in a 50-ton schooner. The missionary's first church at Blackwell's island, Baffin Land, was made of seal skins, but met with an untunely fate, being completely devoured by Esquimaux dogs. In spite of privations Mr. Peck and his collarie, Mr. Bilby, gave reg- clinating suggestion of its presence through the semi-transparency of the brodery in front, though it comes into fuller prominence at the sides. Sweet 17, in her turn, might really with just a few modifications, adapt the same design to her own use, the broderie panel being, of course, in her case, so graduated as to taper at the waist and widen out again at the skirt; while a transparent yoke and color band of Valenciennes lace and a foam of frills in the same soft lace as a finish to the elbow sleeves, may also be suggested, while furthermore it would be advisable—and distinctly decorative—to outline the broderie with ruffled frillings of Valenciennes. For a dress for cooler days one of the fashionable checked volles may be made up into the faithful likeness of the one shown in our sketch, saphire blue, with a contrast on the bodice of black and white, and the softening finish of some ivory-toned lace one of the most effective color schemes. Or, if made in a fine summer cloth 'n black; and white check, it could be worn right on into October, and in this case the waistcoat fronts could introduce some touch of color—old rose for example, would look specially well with borderings of black and white. For the grown-ups already the prettiest of foulard dresses are being made up, to serve a double purpose—that of finishing out the outdoor season, when it is possible to wander around minus a wrap of any description, and an event more important one of being used for a house dress. Hats for Fall Wear the bow in double, triple and even quadruple for matrons, while chou and rosette ideas will be seen among various other forms. Flowers will not be forgotten, the natural effects not being so much sought after as the large silk and velvet roses which are very beautiful and ornamental. These will be seen as a sole adornment and also in combination with feathers and plumes. Fruit, especially the grape, will make a strong bid for popularity, and the natural colors will prevail, while foliage will be very little in evidence. ular teaching to the neighboring Esquimaux and translated the New Testament and Genesis into Baffin Land dialect.

SILER HANDS HOT ROAST TO NELSON REFEREE SAYS BATTLING WON DER IS NOW A DISCRED- ITED FIGHTER. CLAIMS MANAGER IS TO BE BLAMED CHICAGO BOXING EXPERT GIVES GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF GREAT BATTLE. Who will be Battling Nelson's next opponent and what fight club in the country will care to deal with his manager, Billy Nolan, are the questions now asked by Goldfield sports and respected citizens of the camp, says Referee George Siler, writing from San Francisco. In all probability the same questions are being asked in various parts of the country. Nelson's style of milling, the style he adopted against Gans, would not have been tolerated in any part of the country except Goldfield, and there, last week Monday afternoon, only because 7,000 or more spectators and promoters of fighting had demanded that the men fight to a finish. They did not desire a battle decided on a trivial or a technical fou. Nelson, to the best of my knowledge, never has been disqualified for foul fighting, but he never fought a foul as he did against Gans. He did not overlook anything in foul or roughhouse tactics in that affair and got away with them only because it was tolerated. Nelson Knew Conditions. Nelson was informed that Gans would not take the battle on a foul and took advantage of it. He overlooked the fact that the foul which incapacitated his opponent would be judged by me, and when he delivered that blow in the forty-second round he presumably expected to be awarded the battle. I wonder what those sturdy and fair-minded miners and respected citizens of the camp and sports from all over the country would have said and done had I awarded Nelson the battle with Gans lying prone on the platform of the ring in agony as the result of the Dane's foul work. And that, too, after Nelson had battled along lines foul enough to send him to his corner a disqualified fighter times without number. Bat not only fought one of the foulsest and roughest battles imaginable, but the meanest. When the match first was arranged Goldfield and the majority of the people throughout the country were with him, principally because his opponent was a Negro. They backed him for thousands of dollars, and would have been with him to the point had he conducted himself in battle Gans. The latter fought like a gentleman; the gentleman was supposed to fight. He assisted Bat to his feet whenever he upset him and was paid for his gallantry and gentlemanly conduct by blows. Once when Gans lent him a hand to get into fighting attitude the Dane, while still grasping Joe's helping hand, walloped him in the stomach. Turns Crowd Against Him. This action, if nothing else, turned the crowd against him. Men who had backed him for thousands of dollars, and who prior to that unmany act had been yelling their heads off for him to win, began rooting for Gans. The feeling against Bat was increased when later in the fight he deliberately struck Gans after the gong had tolled and made a violent attempt to kick him. This last mean and contemptible act left the Dane without a friend outside of his own seconds, and when he delivered the foul blow in the forty-second round which lost him, he even his backers shook hands with him. Nolan's Shylock methods of doing business made enemies for Bat, but he would have regained them had he put up a clean fight. Gans, the disliked and of the unsavory reputation, was the under dog when the match was arranged. He wanted to fight and, knowing that Nolan demanded two-thirds of the purse, win or lose, Gans acceded. Then Nolan, to bring the Negro into the ring too weak to do himself justice, not only demanded that Gans weigh 133 pounds ringside, but insisted he weigh three times before the fight. That was a bit of clever matchmaking for which Nolan relied on it. When, however, Nolan learned that Gans experienced no difficulty in training down to 133 pounds, he conceived the idea of compelling the Negro to weigh in in fighting togs. Not oply that, but he stated that if Gans was one ounce overweight at any one of the three weighings, he would claim his forfeit and then refuse to fight. Nolan is Discredited. Nolan did not intend to spring this new weight wrinkle on Joe until three days before the fight, which would not give Gans, as he figured, a chance to make the weight without weakening him into beatable condition. I informed the club of Nolan's plan and advised a meeting of the members to bring him to terms. The members said they would not stand for Nolan's demand of Gans' last pound of flesh, but Joe, rather than GAZETTE. see the match fall through, accepted the conditions. This last demand was more than the Goldfielders could stand for and Billy received the ice stare thereafter. The last card Nolan played before the battle was the day before the contest, when he informed the press representatives that a job was afoot to have his boy beaten. It was claimed the Frisco sports intended to run things at the arena and rattle me in giving his boy the worst of it. Now it is said he was paving the way for an excuse, should Bat lose the fight. Siler Saw Foul Plainly Siler Saw Foul Plainly. During the fight Nolan coached the Dane to fight close, inferring to wade in head first and to use his head and hands to win. Bat was an obedient scholar and would have buried Gans out had I not checkered him. When the fawn I not checked on the was delivered Bat, who claims he did not foul, did not attempt to follow up the blow, as is his custom when the advantage to wallop presents itself, demonstrating he was fully aware of his foul work. Nolan claims I did not see the foul and demands to know why I did not count over the prostrate form of Gans. The fact I did not count is proof positive I saw the foul blow, it would have been a disastrous state the fawn I not checked on. Joe out and then awarded him the foul. That surely would have given Nolan the opportunity to kick harder than he ever was known to kick. In Billy's talk of being robbed, and that I was a party to it he overlocks the fact that I took a desperate chance, waiting for 42 rounds and until nearly dark to turn the trick, especially when I had numerous chances to disqualify his boy earlier in the game. I will not say the foul was intentional, but Tim McGraath, the paper representatives and others that Nelson got his instructions to hit any old place, as the "old man," meaning me, would not see it. I have not met a person—principally the backers of Nelson, who has not approved of my decision and who has not denounced Nelson for his four fighting and Nolan for his Shylock methods. Goldfielders say they would not go across the street to see Bat fight again, and the general impression is he would make a "grand fight er" if he had horns. ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE. His Mother a Cleveland—His Father, the late Senator B. K. Bruce—The Great Roscoe Conkling. The above is a good portrait of the son of the late U. S. senator and United States register of the treasury, Blanche K. Bruce, of Mississippi, Mrs. Bruce was formerly a Miss Wilson, the first Afro-American to teach in the public schools of Cleveland. She married the senator in this city many years ago and their son was named in honor of the great New York statesman, the Hon. Roscoe Conkling, as a result of courtesies shown Mr. Bruce when a member of the senate. It was the "silver tongued" Conkling who escorted Mr. Bruce to the desk of the United States senate to be sworn in, his Mississippi democratic colleague (white) refusing to do so. Young boys have been one of one of the departments at The College in normal and industrial school even since his brilliant graduation from Harvard college some years ago. He has recently been elected a supervising principle of the Afro-American public schools of Washington, D. C. HE WASN'T LYNCHED. HE WASN'T LYNCHED. Indeed Little or No Attention was Paid to the Dastardly Crime. The following is from the Seattle (Wash). Republican of a recent date: "In one of the hotels of this city one day this week a white man forced a black boy of tender years to perform an unmentionable crime on his person at the point of a gun, he having summoned the boy to his room under the pretext of wanting some money for the crime. The boy was arrested for the crime and tried in the police court and fined the enormous sum of $25 by Acting Judge Alexander. Had a black man abused a white boy in a similar way it would not only have been the town talk, but the Associated Press would have taken it to the utmost ends of the civilized world, and yet it was not even mentioned in the daily papers. If such a black criminal had escaped lynching it would have been a miracle and had some white man caught him in the act he would have shot him down like a dog and a jury would have found him not guilty in one minute after retiring if he had been tried at last. I think of a criminal white crime for which a black brute would probably have been killed. Is justice dead, you ask. Well, if it is not, then it is very badly color blind." Xenia—Rev.

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. Accept sincerest congratulations Senators Foraker and Dick. Someone ask Harry Daugherty, "who struck 'Billy' Patterson?" The republican plurality in Ohio this fall will be at least 35,000. Gov. Harris twice called on Senators Foraker and Dick on Tuesday at Dayton. There was quite a "sprinkling" of Afro-American delegates at the state convention the past week. Referee Siler in an exceptional article on our first page today, comes very near to doing justice to both Gans and Nelson. Senator Dick will make a better chairman of the state republican executive committee than ever before. That is his ambition and he has the experience and ability. We do not believe that the "door of hope" is so nearly closed that the southern howl for the disbanding of the four Afro-American regiments in the United States army will ever be listened to. It (the howl) is positively silly. With Tillman lecturing in the north, Hoke Smith, democratic nominee for governor, of Georgia, and Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, talking in the south, all three doing all in their power to injure the Afro-American in the estimation of the whites, particularly of the north, these are "warm" days in the newspapers at least, for our people. If those warring Ohio republicans will only fight to a finish all will be well—Pittsburg Post. Well, they did, and it was a glorious finish. The peace and harmony and republican success in the future, Senators Foraker and Dick and their friends fought for will now come. All is well and will be well. Watch this prediction, please. Just as we anticipated, Senators Foraker and Dick triumphed at the state republican convention held in Dayton Tuesday and Wednesday, and, thank the Lord, we were there on the ground and active. In congress and out, they are positive friends of the race and it was our duty to do what we could for them in the contest of the past week. Now for republican harmony and success in Ohio for years to come. We are glad the government will give those accused Fort Brown, Tex., Afro-American soldiers a military trial and thus relieve the civil authorities of Brownville, Tex., of the joyful "duty" of condemning them to death or lynching them after they have been brought into the court room. When the truth is known, we are satisfied that the soldiers killed that man and wounded another, in defense of their own lives. The Afro-American Baptists of Kentucky, their patience having been worn out because of the mistreatment of our women particularly, under that state's "Jim Crow" car law, have resolved to appeal to the railroad commission of the state for relief. We believe they are wasting time. It would be far better for them to start a fund to test the constitutionality of the law, using as a basis for the suit their state's discrimination against Afro-American 'interstate passengers, as in the case of Bishop Phillips and his wife. If the test case resulted favorably, they would strike the best blow against "Jim Crow" carism that can be struck at present. Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church who was "Jim Crowed" recently in Tennessee and Kentucky, in spite of the fact that he and his wife were occupants of a Pullman sleeping car, is quoted as saying that "the Negro has his station in the south and should recognize it." We sincerely trust that the good bishop has been misquoted and does not believe such rot. For if he does, he endorses the shameful mistreatment of himself and wife under the "Jim Crow" laws of Tennessee and Kentucky and is therefore a "Jim Crow" Negro. If he fails to contend for his and his wife's citizen rights under federal laws when occupants of that Pullman car, and as a result of the mistreatment received in the two states named, we will know beyond THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1906. all question whether Bishop Phillips is the citizen we have always regarded him as being, or whether he is a "Jim Crow" Negro. 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, Belgium its in the Congo Free State, Africa, so does this country treat southern Afro-Americans, the only difference being that many more are doubtless 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. "FORAKER'S CONVINCING PLEA." Senator J. B. Foraker on Tuesday afternoon electrified that vast concourse of Ohio republicans, about 10,000 in number, that assembled in the convention hall at Dayton, with one of the most telling speeches of his brilliant career. It was just the kind needed, and the convention "went wild" as a result. The ovations tendered him before and after his grand effort were positively deafening and were nearly equalled by the frequent shorter bursts of enthusiastic acclaim during its delivery. The Dayton Journal of Wednesday morning said editorially: "The beauty of Senator Foraker's speech was his logical and straight-forward defense of his rights as a representative of the state of Ohio. The matter has been somewhat obscured, especially by the cranks who want to see the United States constitution amended so as to provide for the election of senators by a popular vote. The theory of these people seems to be that if a man were elected by popular vote he would be amenable entirely to popular opinions and even to popular whims. It is not likely that any man worthy of being elected to the senate would tolerate any such theory of his duties. M. Senator J. B. Foraker. "Mr. Foraker made it plain that he would not. He said in effect that if he could not use his own judgment, the office would be deprived of honor, and without honor the office itself was worthless. His words were more emphatic, the sense of the thing was that if the people of Ohio could not trust him to be a senator without holding him in leading strings, they were welcome to elect any Mr. Pitable they could find for the job. "That is the kind of talk which will appeal to the common sense of the people. They never have expected their senators nor even their representatives in the house to knuckle to them. But they always have quarreled with them and criticized them when things went wrong, and they are likely to keep on doing this as long as popular government continues. The mistake in this matter was pointed out long ago by The Dayton Journal. If the people wished to refuse an endorsement of particular actions, they could do so, but they could not withhold a candid acknowledgment of courage and ability. The chances are that they will never do this, and that they will never seek to take a petty revenge on any official merely because his views as to the duty put upon him differed from theirs. "Senator Feraker was never in better form. His speech yesterday afternoon was a miracle of extemporary oratory. When it comes to making an oration he is one of the models of the age." PROTECT THE SOLDIERS. The following from the St. Louis (Mo.) "Globe-Democrat is worthy of reproduction in our editorial columns: "Let the government in Washington beware lest it be stamped by the clamor which is being raised against the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Several of the soldiers undoubtedly committed offenses against the law. But the aggressors in the first place were not the Black soldiers, but the white citizens. A Negro soldier, in uniform, was knocked down by a white man for passing a party of white men and women on the street. So far as learned, the soldier behaved himself. He offered no insult to anybody. He violated no ordinance, municipal or divine. The streets of Brownsville, in theory at least, are open to all sorts of people, red, black and white, who conduct themselves with propriety. "After the insult and maltreatment to their comrade a party of Negro soldiers raided a saloon, and in the disorder which ensued one or two lives were lost. This is deplorable, and the Negro culprits should be punished. But what about the white offender who started the disorder? Is there no punishment for him? IS THE BLACK MAN, EVEN WHEN HE WEARS THE UNITED STATES UNIFORM, TO BE ASSAILED WHEN HE WALKS THE STREETS PEACE- FULLY? Race prejudice is strong in Brownsville. So it is all over Texas, all over the south, and throughout part of the north and west. This is unfortunate for both whites and blacks. BUT WHEN A BLACK MAN WEARING THE UNIFORM OF THE ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES IS ASSAULTED ON THE STREET FOR NO OTHER OFFENSE EXCEPT THAT OF HAVING A BLACK SKIN, IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT WHICH HE DEFENDS TO COME TO HIS RESCUE. "There are four Negro regiments in the army. Of the 13,000 cavalry approximately 2,000 are black men. There are in the neighborhood of 2,000 black men among the 25,000 infantry. These four black regiments, nearly all of whose commissioned officers are white, have done good service for the government. Their members, on the whole, are well behaved, are obedient and are brave. The 54th Massachusetts, the first regiment of Negroes who were enlisted in 1861-65, did hard fighting at Fort Wagner and in other battles of the rebellion. The only fighting of any consequence which was done in Cuba in 1898 was done by the black and white regulars, THOUGH MUCH OF THE CREDIT FOR IT WENT ELEWHERE. As professional soldiers, however, these black men and white did the fighting as part of their day's work and asked no special credit for ft. So long as the United States enlists black men to help to do its fighting it is in honor bound to defend them against insult or assault when they are violating no law. WHEN THE WHITE DISTURBER IN BROWNSVILLE ASAILED THE BLACK MAN IN UNIFORM WHO WAS QUIETLY WALKING THE STREETS THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT WAS ATTACKED. A government which would refuse to protect a black man, a red man or a brown man who wears its uniform and obeys its laws would not deserve to be defended by white men or any other sort of men."

There can be no question that I would have put the Dane out in another round or two. He fouled me deliberately, and it was the only way he could save himself from being sent to the floor for the count. He was half blind, and all force had gone from his blows. Only his powers of endurance enabled him to stay from the thirty-fifth to the forty-second round. I might have ended matters earlier, but I meant to take no chances. My task was a simple one, had it not been a bad condition, and this I succeeded in doing. I was extremely confident when I entered the ring, and after the first six rounds I knew there was but one ending. He landed his best on me in the early rounds, and they did not affect me. I think I have proven to the public that I am a good sportsman. I gave them every advantage they could possibly ask for, and then won by square fighting. That the Dane lasted much longer than I anticipated I freely admit. He is game enough and strong enough, but lacks the knowledge champion with. I wish George Silver he refereed fairly and squarely. He had to repeatedly warn Nelson against butting, and had he been a bit stricter he would have disqualified Nelson earlier in the fight. But I was satisfied to have the contest go on to a more satistactory end. JOE GANS. Bradford, Pa., Locals. Mrs. Edith Butler visited Pittsburgh recently—Mesdames Carter and H.

He has made a splendid presiding elder and will be sorely missed by the churches in his district. Ed Dunjill, Gus Eubanks and Sidney Jones, of Detroit, went into Stein's cafe, just off the southwest corner of the Public Square, one day last week, and were "turned down" flat. After waiting about half an hour and seeing others waited upon, they got up and left the restaurant. Dunjill and Eubanks were a few weeks ago admitted to the bar and will surely enter suit against Stein. Ask them about it. The Y. M. C. A., of Buxton, Iowa, of which Lewis E. Johnson, formerly of this city, is general secretary, opened a boy's department on the 6th with LeRoy W. Tucker, another Clevelander, in charge. Secretary Johnson writes the editor of The Gazette: "This was a great night in Buxton" and that "everything went as per program." How could it have been otherwise with "Lewie" and "Roy" in charge? They are always successes. Good! More power and success to you, young gentlemen! H. H, of Ruth, N. 7, extends a cordial invitation to Ohio and Chas. Summer lodges, H.

Delegates Alex Martin and Tom Fleming of this city voted for the Holcomb motion requesting Senator Dick to decline the chairmanship of the state central committee and cooperate with the organization in the selection of a new chairman. This was the insult tendered on Wednesday at the state republican convention held in Dayton. Senators Foraker and Dick will hardly forget them because they have a right to expect better treatment from members of the race they have stood out boldly for in congress and out of it. A gentleman from Washington, visiting in the city last week, went into the Palm (beer) garden at Luna Park for refreshments for himself and company (lady). They were permitted to sit at the table for quite a while—indeed, until he had several times hunted up the proprietor, who hid, and approached several waiters. Finally after persons were served who came in later, the gentleman and lady in question still insisting, were served with refreshments, the normal or twenty cents at greatest, or fifteen or twenty cents at greatest, charge was made for waiter service, as is sometimes the case in some places. He handed the fellow who served them one dollar, from which payment was to be taken for the drinks (one beer and one pop). That worthy disappeared never to return. After waiting a long time the gentleman again hunted up the proprietor, and after a hot war of words and being told that he was charged fifty cents a drink, he secured his change, again sat down at the table with his many and many for quite an hour. There is plenty and good law in the state which will enable our people to put an end to all this mistreatment, whenever they have mistreatment, whenever they have had enough of it and have manhood and womanhood enough to use the law.

(931) STREET RAILWAY TALKS The Forest City Railway Co. is asking for a franchise to operate cars in your street, and is offering to pay three dollars per foot for your consent "as rebate on pavement." 1. The proposed grant is subject to Ordinance No. 42846 (the Denison avenue grant) which provides that The Forest City Co. shall not be required to pay any rebate on pavement. 2. The person entitled to a rebate is he who paid the tax or cost originally, or his successor in the title. The pavement on which The Forest City Railway Co. offers to pay rebates was laid and paid for by The Cleveland Electric Railway Co. 3. The Cleveland Electric Railway Co. claims that its right to operate cars in Central avenue does not expire before 1913. It is asserting this right in a suit now before the supreme court of the United States. This case will probably be decided within a few months. If the case shall be decided in our favor, as we confidently believe it will, the grant to the Forest City Railway Co. will be void. If, under these circumstances, you want to sell your consent, get near enough to the money to see its color. If The Forest City Railway Co. obtains the right to operate the Central avenue line, you will lose your chance to transfer to East 55th street, (Willson avenue) to Broadway, to Union street, to West 14th street, (Jennings avenue) to West 25th street, (Pearl street) to Scranton avenue, to Fairfield street, to Woodland avenue, to Payne avenue, to Superior avenue, to St. Clair avenue, to Detroit avenue, to Madison avenue, to Lorain avenue, to Clifton Boulevard, to Scovill avenue, and to the Union depot. But larger and higher than your interest in your lot, or in your particular line of railway, is your interest in the city of Cleveland. You and your children may not always live on Central avenue. Larger, too, is the interest of all the people of Cleveland in the street railway system of the city. We have made the best proposition to the people ever made by a street railway company anywhere for a renewal of our right to operate, at a reduced rate of fare, not only our Central avenue line, but all our other lines, and to give free transfers from line to line, and double transfers on the cross-town lines. We invite you to consider it. We ask you to find fault with it, if you can. We are trying to get the city council to give you a chance to vote on it. The promises and obligations of our contract with the city will be definite. You will know what you are to get for your fare. You will know what we are to do in return for it. Will you, for the bare possibility of enforcing a promise to pay to nobody in particular, at an indefinite time, three dollars per foot "as rebate on pavement," throw away this opportunity that has come to all the people of Cleveland to make a desirable contract for the continued operation of the present street railway system? Although you are only one of nearly 500,000 people interested in this contract, will not your interest in it be worth more to you and your family in 20 years than $3.00 per foot front, even if the $3.00 were paid you now in cash? Won't you read our proposition? Ask the conductor for a copy of it, or drop a postal card in the nearest letter box and ask us to mail you one. Yours very truly. Starlight's Buffet. A. D. BOYD, Prop.

There is & parailel in the old eastern story of Nasr Eddin Hodga. He met a peas: ant one day with a donkey, over whose back hung two sacks, one filled with stones, the other with wheat, the stones having been added to bal ance the wheat. “Why not divide the wheat into {wo parts instead?” Sus gested Nasr Eddin Hodga. Delighted with the Idea, the peasant did as he was advised, and bung the two sacks of wheat over the donkey's back. “And where are your lands, 0 wse stranger?” he asked, humbly. “i have no lands," answered the other. “Your estates, then, and your palaces?” in- ‘quired the peasant. “I have none,” ‘said the other. “Then your houses, ‘your gardens, your orchards?” persist ‘ed the man, amazed. “What!” eried ‘the outraged peasant. “Do you, who have no lands and no_ possessions, presume to give advice to me?” and ‘he unloaded the donkey, rearranged ‘the wheat and :tones as tefore, and ‘proceeded on his way.

Gentlemen of thee ot ee New York, Aug. 30.—The prelimi hary statement of the Erie Railroad for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1906, made public to-day, shows gross earnings of over $50,000,000, an in. crease over the previous year of $1. 277,000, and an increase in net of $1,547,000. Of the increase in working expenses, $2,780,000, an expenditure of — more than one million dollars was in main- tenance of the roadway, which was given an unusually liberal allowance of new steel rail and ties. Operating expenses during the same period had an additional charge of $1,000,000, in rehabilitating the equipment, the re- sult being that the power has been placed in ap} excellent condition for increased business. The additional expendituresin the tmprovement of the roadwayeand equipment are mani- festly In the right direction and are a dircet addition to the assets of the gompany. Not the least interesting showing Is that the Company incurred an addi tional expense of only $100,000, in con- dueting the transportation of over $4,000,000, additional gross earnings, ‘This is a further indication that the improvements which have been com- pleted are producing tho desired re. sults in lessening the cost of transpor- tation.

The poem has never before been pub- lished.] With what thou gavest me, O Master, I have wrought. Such chances, such abilities, to see the end was not for my poor eyes, Thine was the impulse, thine for forming thought. I have wrought, And these sad hands have, right to tell their story. It was no hard up-sriving after glory, Caterpillar and losing, gaining and falling. Ragging me back at the world's raucous railing. Simply and humbly from stone and from wood.

SYNOPSIS OF PLATFORM For 50 years the republican party has commanded the confidence of the American people by its patriotism, by its ability to deal wisely with great public questions, and by the moral program of its leaders. "In the administration of state affairs we have been equally successful. Our finances were never in better condition; our state institutions are administered wisely and well and as economically as a just and liberal policy will permit. Our emergency legislation has been upon the republican lines of high taxation and of local option, which principle we affirm has proved successful, and has been followed in other states. effective work and Dick immei- nents and re- "We favor promote labo- point with re- enacted for or of the labo- the protecting the livi- mine and mine and child lessening of child ever reasons.

Harris to the governorship of Ohio found him fully prepared by ability and extended public service, sincerity of purpose, deference to the people, independence. His administration, ministration of all the state officials, merit the approval of Ohio people. "The republican policy of protection must be sacredly maintained. It is the foundation of our gratifying and unparalleled prosperity and commercial eminence. Eventual correction of schedules along protective lines must be made by the republican party, whose devotion to the policy of American-markets for American industry is the guarantee of the confidence of the manufacturing world. "The republican party has enacted all the effective legislation in restraint of monopolies, trusts and unlawful combines, and to prevent railway and other trade discriminations, and will provide such further enactments as experience proves necessary for the correction of private or corporate abuse. "We most heartily approve and indorse Theodore Roosevelt and his administration of public affairs. True to the principles of the republican party as enunciated at Chicago in 1904, he has more than met and fulfilled our high expectations. His sagacity and patriotism, commanding honesty and courage, his lofty ideals of public duty and of private citizenship, have won for him a unique position in the defense and regard of the American people. "We most heartily and without reserve approve and indorse our distinguished senators, Joseph Benson Foraker and Charles Dick. Ohio's representatives in the senate have ever held a commanding position among the statesmen of the nation, and we glory in the conspicuous and Dayton, O.-In Welfare hall, the immense dining room of a local manufactory, arranged with a seating capacity of nearly 7,000, O. B. Gould, chairman of the state central committee, called the republican state convention to order at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The temporary organization was announced as agreed on by the state committee, with ex-Gov. Myron T. Herrick as temporary chairman, John R. Malloy, of Columbus, temporary secretary and Richard Gilson, of Steubenville, sergeant-at-arms. Because of the unusual nature of the contest before the convention great interest was manifested and the big hall was well filled when the temporary chairman was announced. Promised to be simply a routine beginning of the work of the convention developed into a somewhat remarkable discussion of party policy. MYRON T. HERRICK. The speech of Ex-Gov. Myron T. Herrick, temporary chairman, was accepted as the keynote of the campaign. Ex-Gov. Herrick said, in part: "I desire to thank you for this greeting and to express my appreciation to the state central committee that offered me the opportunity for deliberations. Democratic victories are so infrequent in Ohio that I find myself in a position almost without Told of Slavery in Missouri Cape Girardeau, Mo.-John Reed, a negro, who served in the Tenth cavalry in Cuba during the Spanish war, was a witness Wednesday for the government in the trial of Smith brothers, wealthy land owners, charged with violation of the peonage statutes. "I never received a cent for my labor all the time I worked for the Smiths," said Reed. "I was forced to work under the authority of the war under Missouri pretense that I was to work in a four mill. Fifteen other negroes came with me." For State School Commissioner, EDMUND A. JONES, of Massillon. For Member Board of Public Works GEORGE H. WATKINS, of Wacery. effective work of Senators Foraker and Dick in legislative accomplishments and republican leadership. "We favor just and liberal laws to promote labor's truest interests. We point with satisfaction to the laws enacted for bettering the conditions of the labor, including statutes for the protection of health, safeguarding the lives of those who toll in mine and mill, and for the suppression of child labor; and we favor the lessening of the hours of labor whenever reasonable and practicable. We urge the enactment of a state banking regulation, such thorough regulation and inspection as to safeguard the interests of all depositors. "We favor a law providing for the nomination by popular primary elections; such primaries to be held by all parties at the same time. Until otherwise provided by law when a United States senator is to be chosen, notice shall be given to the republicans of the state that the delegates to the convention may be added to making other nominations, shall indorse a candidate for United States senator so that at the primaries the republican electors of the state in the selection of delegates to the state convention may have opportunity to express their preference as to candidates for that office. "We favor the reduction of representation in congress and electoral college in all the states of this union, where white and colored citizens are distranchised. Republican legislators have reduced the state tax love more than one-half, and we will, by further legislation, wipe out that key entirely so far as permitted by constitutional limitations. "We glory in genuine leadership, but we declare our hostility to all attempts to trammel or control the free action and will of the people either upon measures or candidates by individuals, or committees, and we hereby instruct the state central committee of this convention, in making its needs for a statute convention to give notice that delegates must be chosen in properly called delegate conventions or amply advertised primaries to secure admission to that convention. "Finally, we appeal to all the people of Ohio, by the great achievements of the republican party, by all that it has accomplished and is accomplishing for the welfare and prosperity of the people in the state and nation, to loyal support of the party in the present campaign." precedent, but I remember that we were glad to confer a similar honor upon an illustrious predecessor of mine, Gov. Foraker, in 1890, after the disastrous campaign of 1889 "For the second time in the history of our commonwealth our chief executive has died in office. Though we differed in politics, no man ever held the integrity of purpose of John M. Pattison in higher esteem than L. At the death of Gov. Pattison there came into office a man who has ever filled the full measure of his duty. At the fateful call to arms in '61, and in the no less momentous times of peace, one who stood at our beloved McKinley's right hand through two state administrations, loved and respected by him. Andrew L. Harris has ever met the responsibilities devolving upon him with patriotic purpose, manly courage and undivided devotion to his sense of right. We represent the people of Ohio in paying tribute to the dead and pledging allegiance to our present governor. "The tariff problem is again to the fore. It is no longer a question of advisability of its discussion. It is here and will not down. Let us meet it. We frankly confess that the present tariff law is not perfect. No tariff law ever has been perfect. Every tariff law has been a compromise. When our democratic friends, with all their confident promises on the subject, tried their hands at the business, did they succeed? Has anyone forbidden the chagrin they betrayed after the passage of the Wilson bill? We set up no claim to infallibility, but, bad as excessive protection of certain commodities admittedly is worse than this is constant tariff tinkering, and worse than all is free commodities for revenue only, as applied to the whole civilized world is theoretically correct, may be expedient for some nations, but that been thoroughly demonstrated to the satisfaction of the majority of the people that it is not expedient for this nation.

The prosperity which sheds its beneficence upon all of our people is due largely to the established and determined maintenance of this domestic policy. With it has come abuses—abuses which should be remedied. How? SENATOR DICK. "The faith of the people in the business ability of a republican administration to deal with this question is such that confidence would at once take the place of a growing apprehension that the enemies of the protective tariff may again lay hands on our industrial system. If the people of Ohio were to definitely and flatly recommend this, it would tend to inspire, rather than to shake, confidence, and when the time came we would have a reasonable and fair revision as we did over the resumption of specie payment, which was the bogie man of several campaigns. "The republican party of Ohio would be untrue to the memory of President McKinley, would show little appreciation of the great work done by Mr. Hanna in his last campaign in informing the people of the necessities of the merchant marine, would be unmindful of the desires and wishes of President Roosevelt, if it does not speak in forceful terms urging congress to immediately take some appropriate and just action to aid in upbuilding American shipping. This should be done on or before the completion of the Panama canal, so that our own goods may be carried in our own ships, in ships and Stripes, into all the ports harbors of the world, and keeping for our own people the money now paid by them to foreign owners of foreign vessels for the transportation of our crops and manufactures. "The problems confronting the people suggest the man who, equipped by nature and empowered by law, is more responsible than any other citizen for their proper solution—Theodore Roosevelt!—the embodiment of all that is epoch-making and progressive in recent American growth and life. At our last convention, one year ago, I said that the people of Ohio stood for Theo Awe Roosevelt and all people of Ohio stand for Theodore Roosevelt and all that he stands for!" "The laws and rules of party government, as well as the laws of the state, should make it as easy to dis HARRY M. DAUGHERTY lodge as to install a chief leaders. While regulation may be of material assistance, laws alone cannot automatically compel a citizen to perform his full civic duty. The present statutes are adequate for the destruction of any officeholder or 'boss', were the citizen willing to devote some small portion of his time to the common cause, on which the perpetuity of the government depends—pure government. "Boss-baiting" would be an unknown pastime had the citizen exercised his right and performed the full measure of his civic duty when the opportunity was his. Whether the motives of the man groomed the he ceases to be a leader and becomes a boss, he maintains and perpetuates himself in power by political patronage and a machine contrary to the will of the people. Bossism is a disease of the body politic, contracted by reason of neglect by the citizen. It is a germ disease. The germ has been discovered. The doctor is the people, and the hopeful sign is that the doctor is now sitting up with the patient." At the conclusion of the speech, before other business could be transacted, the crowd insisted on hearing United States Senator Foraker, who had been given one of the heartiest of the numerous cheering welcomes given the various leaders as they entered the hall. After some urging the Senator delivered a characteristic address. Senator Foraker, when called to the stage after Gov. Herrick's speech, threw the convention into turmoil by his reply to his critics. He preceded the fiery discussions of the attack on its senatorial actions by praising Gov. O. U. A. M. Convention in Session. Canton, O. — More than 1,000 delegates and visitors are here from various parts of Ohio to attend the annual session of the state council of the Junior O. U. A. M., and the thirteenth annual session of the D. of A., the affiliated organization's state council. There are over 500 delegates. Harding Nominated for Congress. Dayton, G. — State Senator Eugena Harding, of Middletown, was on Tuesday in this city nominated by the Republican caucus to succeed, Hon. Robert M. Newin. Harris and urging Ohio to stand with Roosevelt on a policy of "no tariff revision," not with Gov. Herrick, who had advocated revision at once. He declared the convention must decide whether to "stand pat" with the president, or with Herrick. Continuing, he said: "Just another word. I am a little touchy about some things. When I am told that I am to stand for whatever other man stands for, no matter what it may be, I am not going to subscribe to it. It has been my pleasure to stand with President Roosevelt on most of his recommendations, but I cannot go with him on all of them. "I have always thought it was a great honor to be a United States senator from Ohio. Why? Not because of the salary. Not because of the position, but because I have always understood that when my constituency elected me, it was because the voters had the impression, at least, that I possessed the qualifications of a senator. That I had some ability and that I had good character; that I would stand hitched—did not have to have somebody overlooking me. And that when a great question arose I would be expected, speaking for this mighty and splendid constituency, to bring to bear in the discussion of it, all those qualifications. I never understood that somebody was to tell me how to vote, either at that end of the line or at this end of the line. Especially not about great and profound constitutional questions about which lawyers differ; I thought I was to work them out; I was to speak for you. GOV. HARRIS "I pursue that policy. If that is not right, if, on the contrary, a man is to be rebuked because he exercises the qualifications with which he is blessed, then you take all the honor away from the office, and, so far as I am concerned, you can take the office with it. "I am here representing a great principle, as I understand it, which reaches, as Gov. Herrick has said about the republican party, far away and beyond any individual; it is a rule of action that the great parliamentarians and leaders have contended for and have observed from the day when Edmund Burke, in the English parliament, defended himself on the same ground. I am contending that a man has a right to act freely today, down to the latest expression on that subject, in both the house and the senate of the United States. "Why, Mr. President, it is the man who does, not accept everything as it is ordered, but looks into it, examines it upon conscience and according to judgment and discusses it according to his ability, that renders the greatest service in legislation. No man in congress has done more to enact safe and sound legislation than Theodore Burton. I kick over once in a while whenever I think I ought to and I don't ask anybody's permission—and he does the same and I honor him for it, for I believe he always acts, although frequently not in accordance with my judgment, according to his own judgment and his own good conscience." Although other speakers were called for by the crowd none responded and after the usual announcements of committees, the convention adjourned till 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. That Senator: Dick had won the contest for chairmanship of the state executive committee, carrying with it the state leadership, was apparent when the district delegations met in the afternoon. Enough had been learned during the early part of the day to show that with two districts classed as in doubt lacked but one vote of the number needed to win. Senator Dick secured a re-election to the state leadership or rather to the chairmanship of the state executive committee, by the decisive vote of 7. As a minor point of interest came the defeat of John R. Malloy as permanent secretary of the convention. The committee on permanent organization decided on Gov. Harris for permanent chairman and Wade Cushing, of Cinchnati, for secretary. By the latter selection Temporary Secretary John R. Malloy was retired, but Mr. Cushing declared that he would decline the office and move to name Mr. Malloy in his stead. The members of the new state central committee, by whom the next chairman of the executive committee was chosen, were selected by the various district delegations in the afternoon, as follows: First District—Fred Bader, Cincinnati Second—Peter W. Durr, Cincinnati Third—D. W. Allaman, Dayton. Fourth—J. Hess, Shelby county. Fifth—William H. Phipps, Paulding county. Sixth—George King, Warren county Seventh—H. H. McCloud, Madison county. Sixth—N. T. Overturf, Delaware. Ninth—Walter F. Brown, Toledo. Tenth—Orrin B. Gould, Jackson county. Three Boys Indicted for Murder. Wooster, O—Among indictments reported on Wednesday by the grand jury was one charging Allen Miller, William Everhard and Harry White, all of Alliance, with first degree murder for killing Thomas Dye, aged 14, of Orville, on the night of April 12.

Dayton, O.—The republicans of Ohio on Wednesday held one of the hottest state conventions in the history of the party in this state. And still more remarkable was it for the fact that the contest was not over the naming of candidates for the state offices, for which the convention had offered, but over the selection of a chairman of the state executive committee, involving the state leadership of United States Senator Dick The senator won not only on this proposition, but also on the question of endorsement of his work and that of Senator Foraker in the United States senate, many of the republicans of the state having taken the position that in view of the fact that the senators had not entirely agreed with the policy of President Roosevelt on the issue of inconsistent to give in endorsement of equal force to both the president and the two senators. In winning a victory over Congressman Burton and Harry M. Daugherty on these two questions Senator Dick retained his chairmanship and prestige, but on the other hand the platform, in which appeared the merger of the two plans indicated that Mr. Burton had not been idle in other directions, for the Cleveland leader's views were clearly imbedded in some of the best parts of the platform. On two points, primary voting for United States senators and tariff revision, one of the Cleveland leaders, under minority report these two planks, jointly with the approval of Mr. Burton, and the convention defeated both. EDMUND A. JONES When the convention assembled James Holcomb, of Cuyahoga county, moved that "it be the sense of this convention that Senator Dick be requested to decline to act as the chairman of the state executive committee and that he co-operate with the state council in the selection of a chairman thereof to manage the pending state campaign." Congressman Burton took the platform and spoke in support of the motion. Cries of "Foraker" brought Senator Foraker to the front of the platform. He addressed the convention briefly, declaring that he "knew of no reason why a man who was good enough to be a chairman for William Kinley and who is acknowledged to be one of the best chairmen ever known" could not be continued in that position. The convention was in turmoil as he concluded and the chairman had difficulty in securing order. Finally Harry M. Daugherty, associated with Burton in the anti-Dick contest, was recognized. He declared there "was nothing personal in politics with me," and the convention was again in a roar of disorder. At last he said: "I am not here to pluck a feather from the honor of any man." He declared himself ready to sign an agreement that he would never be a candidate for any office. He recognized the superior qualities of the chairman, but he maintained that under existing conditions a change was advisable. Congressman Robert M. Nevin followed in a strong "protest against the humiliation of a man who has served you so long and so ably as Senator Dick." U. V. L. Encampment Begins.

Large delegations are here from Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Twenty People Injured Detroit, Mich.—A score of persons were injured, one possibly tally, when a Detroit, Monroe & Toledo crash last night dashed into an open switch. A vote was taken and the roar of "Nos" was followed by a prompt declaration that the motion was lost. However, on demand, a roll call was order. The motion was lost-573 nays to 285 ayes. Senator Dick took the platform on the announcement of the vote and expressed his thanks for the call to "once more lead the republican party in the fight against the preferences and had a right to them, he said, and then appealed for the writing of a "platform on which all republicans could unite," and "from this on let all republicans look alike to us," following with an urgent plea for united effort for "renewed victory and great success." He closed with an assurance that he bore ill will to no man, but wanted to give to every individual the same right he claimed for himself. The motion of the committee on permanent organization was amended on motion of Wade Cushing, whose place as secretary was taken by John R. Mallow. Gov. Harris, who was named for permanent chairman, was given a cordial greeting and delivered a brief speech of acceptance. Chairman Harding, who presented the report of the platform committee, first presented the following as a separate report and it was adopted: "The republicans of Ohio, in state convention assembled, desire to pay a sincere tribute of respect to the memorial of Mr. M. Pattison. He was a loyal and devoted son of Ohio and always had at heart the best interests of the state. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his immediate friends, and HON, THEODORE E. BURTON. especially to his family, whose loss is keenest and greatest." Congressman Burton gave out the following statement last night: "Of course I had hoped for more successful results, but so far as my own efforts are concerned, no beginning was made until the end of last month, while on the other side was an organization which has been formed for many years and which is extremely powerful in state politics. The House of Representatives will for or essential principles for which I have contended. It is my desire to avoid factional differences as much as possible and also to oppose bossism and the centralization of power in a few political leaders, both of which have become so marked in American politics in recent years. I do not believe conditions are nearly as bad in Ohio as in some other states, but the House of Representatives must improve. I am confident that when the next republican convention is held the popular mind will be more thoroughly awakened. "It will be my earnest effort as well as that of others with whose views I coinide, to secure needed reforms in state legislation and party management through the agency of the republican party. I can give cordial support to the ticket. "The platform is disappointing to many of us because it is not progressive enough. I think there would be plank in favor of nomination of United States senators by popular vote and favoring tariff revision, but these will come in time." One little incident of the convention that almost escaped notice came immediately after Senator Dick had concluded his speech thanking the convention for the vote just taken in his favor. Senator Foraker had been occupying a seat just back of the chairman and he stepped to the front and called Mr. Burton, in the front seat of the Cleveland delegation, to speak on the platform for a talk. The congressman listened quietly as the senator asked him to smooth things over by moving to make the Dick endorsement unpaid. GEORGE H. WATKINS mous. With a wave of his hand in protest and a vigorous shake of the head Mr. Burton replied "Not just now," and the incident closed, both men returning to their seats without many of the delegates having noticed the incident.

It is caused by some irritating substance in the atmosphere during the later months of life, generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous dust carried by her sweat. She carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna for this purpose.

STOMACH PAINS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Brought Relief, and Cure for Splitting Headaches as Well. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a remedy which has been before the American people for a generation, is still accomplishing wonderful results as is evidenced by the following interview with Mrs. Rachael Gardner, of Wilsey, Kans. "It was very strange," she says, "I never could tell what caused it and neither could anybody else. For a long time I had bad spells with my stomach. The pain would commence about my heart and was so deadly agonizing that I would have to scream aloud. Sometimes it would last several hours and I would have to laudanum to stop it. Besides this I had a headache almost constantly, day and night, that nearly crazed me, so you see I suffered a great deal. And when I think of the agony I endured it still makes me shudder. "Doctors,' did you say? Their medicine made me sick. I couldn't take it and I kept growing worse until a friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I did. I began to feel better and was soon wholly converted to this wonderful medicine. It did me more good than I had ever hoped for. I kept on with the pills and now I recommend them to all who suffer."

Bowles) Paxley was very fond of children. Everybody knew that, from the scrub woman, who invariably did him out of sundry dollars when there was an extra cold spell in winter or a particularly unhealthy spell in summer, to the chief himself, who always showed him the latest pictures of his own small flock and let Flossie, the smallest, go to the big outer office to kiss "her Paxley whenever she came downtown to visit. there was some pittiful about it over joking him done, and nobo affairs, especially suggested that and only Jam should be put Paxley glare turned the sun unhappy sort nobody menti At the same time, Paxley abhorred women, and insisted that he would never marry. People said it was too bad, for Paxley made a good, comfortable salary, was well enough to look at, and as steady a chap as one would care to meet. Paxley himself always declared that he was going to devote himself to an orphan asylum, and actually haunted two or three until scared off from each by a succession of wily and designing nurses, who made his life a burden. Then he fell back on newsbogs and stray acquaintances of the parks and street cars, until one morning he electrified the office with the news that he had acquired a baby. "I really suppose I ought to feel mournful," said he, as he explained matters to the interested but bewildered crowd that gathered about him; "but I'm not—I'm gleeful." You see it's this way. The baby's my cousin's. You remember, maybe, that I had a cousin who died last spring? Well, this kid was only about a month old at the time. Now, eight months later, the mother dies, too. She had no parents. My cousin didn't any. There's no one for that blessed baby to fall back on but me! And I've got him!" Paxley went systematically to work to enjoy his new blessing. He left his comfortable bachelor apartments, where he had been en- A Wheeled Around and Nearly Knocked Haines Down. scenced for years, and set up a small house in the suburbs because he said that city air was bad for children. He imported an aged relative of the feminine persuasion to look after the baby, and hired a waiter with whom he had grown familiar at his restaurant, to go out and do the cooking and first cooking. Most of the people in the office felt rather sorry for Paxley, in spite of his evident joy. But he bore the hurried rush for his suburban cars, the long rides, and the lack of many of his old amusements with a smile, and, if he minded, he never told. In some ways Paxley was a hero. When the baby first arrived upon the scene he had remarked to his cronies, inside the office and of it, that as soon as the youngster became interesting they should come out. It was Jenkins who first noticed the change in Paxley. Jenkins was too busy, both at home and at work, to see much of the other fellows, so when he did happen to wake up and look at them he was the more apt to notice slight changes. And in July he announced that Paxley was looking tired. When Jenkins spoke of it, the rest realized that it was true. "I don't think very much of that kid of yours, Pax," announced Haines one day with a sounding thwack on Paxley's shoulder. "He can't be very bright." Paxley, red as a turkey gobble, wheeled round, and nearly knocked Haines down before that astonished gentleman could conclude—"or he'd be saving of the strength of his guardian angel." When Paxley heard that he calmed down and apologized to Haines, and took the whole crowd out to dinner. The boys told him his outlandish nervousness was only another proof that he was worn out and needed a rest. Paxley said he guessed they were jolly near right, and the next day he asked for his vacation. He got it in August and went away. But every one groaned when they heard that he had not gone to the country, but to New York, and that he had taken the ancient relative and the baby along with him. "Most foolish thing I ever heard off!" stormed Haines one night, as a crowd of Paxley's friends hung about the cock club library. "Of all them to take a kid along on your vacation. And then, to go to a hot, jammed up city! What'd you let him do it for. Doc?" But Dr. Donald McArthur, Pax's chum for 20 years and family physician for seven months, only shook his head. "Don't ask me," he remarked brokenly, as he ate the ice from the bottom of a tall, cool glass, "the movements of Paxley, and of young James Chesterley Braden are quite beyond my authority. But I tell you what," and the doctor rose and stared across the table at the rest impressively. "Pax knows what he's about. Don't meddle." And he stalked away. When Paxley came back, it was easy to see that the vacation had done him not the least particle of good. He was not only tired—he was thin, and there was something fierce, and yet pitiful about his eyes. The boys got over joking with him as they had done, and nobody spoke of his private affairs, especially after little Cummins suggested that it was time the great and only James Chesterley Braden should be put on exhibition. Paxley glared at him so darkly, and turned the subject in such a queer, unhappy sort of way, that after that nobody mentioned the child again, till Paxley himself began to do it. It was after Jenkins had been telling of some of the funny sayings of his little brood. "Jim gets off a good thing occasionally, now he's beginning to talk," said Paxley, and every one felt better. It was so unusual not to be able to talk about anything and everything with Paxley. The next day he had some bright saying to retail, that made the boys laugh heartily and honestly—not the conventional giggle that is generally reserved for such accounts of juvenile wit. Paxley smiled. In fact, Haines, still resentful, asserted that he smirked like a self-satisfied woman. But things were easier at any rate, and from that time on, Paxley talked of the boy freely, and told a store of funny things that became famous throughout the office. The respect for "Paxley's kid" grew. That he was an exceptionally bright and clever little fellow everybody admitted, and Cummins, who went out with Pax and the doctor one Sunday night and saw the boy in his crib, gave an enthusiastic account of his beauty. The crash came one stormy December night, when Paxley had been a parent-in-law, as the boys expressed it, for about a year. A number of his friends, Haines, one or two more from the office, and others who were members of his club, were gathered again in the library as they had been the summer before. As usual, Haines started the conversation. "Paxley's clean daffy over that kid of his, isn't he? Can't hire him to go out this winter, and he's thin as a wire fence." The others grunted. Then little Cummins, rather red and altogether embarrassed, spoke. "Well," sputtered Cummins, "you know that story he told about the boy's asking if the clouds were God's dust cloths?" There was a grunt of assent. "Too preocious--too preocious by far," muttered Jenkins, who had got a night off, and was enjoying the society of adults unmixed with children. "I don't know about that." went on Cummins, "for I don't know anything about children. But I do know that that's an old story. I read it myself in a magazine last night. And the magazine was dated more than a year ago." There was an odd, strained silence. "Yes," said another man, "I—I've had my suspicions myself. I told two or three of Pax's stories at a dinner not long ago, and the people just howled—said they were every one of them gray-bearded with age." "I've done that, too," remarked Haines, "but I thought maybe two kids could say the same funny things—they're capable of anything, you know." The doctor rose and walked undecidedly up and down the room a few time. Then he stopped by the table, leaning forward, with his long fingers resting lightly on the polished wood. "Boys," he said, and there was something solemn in his voice which made the others lay down their cigars and look expectantly at him. "Boys, I am going to do something I've never done before—I'm going to betray the confidence of a friend." The men sat very silent, gazing up at him. "If you would stop and think," the doctor went on slowly, as though choosing his words, "I would not have to tell. You would understand. But you have not seen, and you must—for your own good, and Paxley's and little Jim's. Do you remember when he flew at Haines when he said, jokingly he didn't think much of the boy? The strange trip to New York? The anxiety and the sorrow in his face for months now? And these stolen stories? For they are stolen, every one. He's stolen them for Jim. He's been learning them for months. They've been his last weapons in the hardest fight he's ever fought. For he's been fighting against God this year. And he has not won. Oh, don't you understand?" For the first time the doctor raised his hands and threw them out as though asking help and strength from the men before him. "Don't you see? Little Jim will never say any bright things of his own. Because"—and unconsciously the doctor "padded into the Scottish tongue of his boyhood days—"because, lad's Paxley's found his wee lamb is one of God's poor incensors." And only the waiter, who had just come in, noticed how blindly the doctor walked across the room. For all the other men were strangely blinded, too. Jinks—Has a husband a right to open his wife's letters? Blinks (a lawyer)—Certainly, sir; certainly; open all you please. "Well, here is a letter my wife has written to your wife, and handed me to deliver. I feel pretty sure there's something unpleasant in it about me. I wish you'd open it, and if there is, just burn it." "Humph! Does my wife know your wife is going to write to her?" "Yes." "And if my wife doesn't get this letter she'll soon find it out, won't she?" "Of course." "On second thoughts, I believe there is a new law which makes it a penitentiary offense to open a wife's letters. I couldn't take the risk, sir; indeed. I couldn't."—N. Y. Weekly. Too Great a Risk. DELIGHTS OF RAILWAY TRAVEL THROUGH HONDURAS. The vicissitudes of a trip over the Inter- Oceanic railway are numerous and harrowing, says a writer in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, dating his letter from San Pedro Suu, Honduras, which he reached after a journey of 37 miles in 18 hours. Our leaving time was six o'clock, says the writer, but we didn't pull out of Puerto Cortes until ten in the morning. The nondescript affair which they call a train down here, consisted of a wood-burning engine, four flat cars and a passenger coach. Our crew was composed of an engineer, a half dozen firemen, one brakeman and the conductor. There was an extra man, but in the whole vocabulary of railroads I find no name for him. His position, however, was a commanding one, and as important one. He perched himself on the front of the engine, above where the cowcatcher should be, and upon occasion industriously ladled sand from a box beside him to the rails in front. Our numerous firemen passed the wood from the cars to the engine, and at various points along the road turned into a bucket brigade and supplied water from nearby streams to the engine. The engineer was a Jamaican imbued with an extraordinary pride for the land of his nativity and given upon occasion to declaring that he was not a native of Honduras—he was a British "object." Jerry, I fear, is something of a gay Lothario, and on his frequent trips over the road has worked sad havoc in the hearts of dusky maidens all along the line. He invariably announced our approach to a village by putting the hard pedal on the whistle, and the entire population turned out to greet us. Jerry's strenuous musical efforts came near causing a catastrophe at one point where we encountered a very heavy grade. Just before we reached the top of the hill Jerry thoughtlessly pulled the whistle cord, and in the screaming blast that followed the steam gave out and the train began to slip back. Although the cars were without brakes of any kind, the company had prepared for such emergencies by providing a mahogany log on the rear platform, to be dropped under the rear wheels. Unfortunately the rear brakeman was asleep on a flat car in front, and before he awakened the momentum of the train was so great as to render our remedy unavailing. We ran so fast and so far in the next 15 minutes that it took us four hours to get back. Leaving Laguna, the train plunged into a tropical swamp and forest. The foliage was indescribably luxuriant and beautiful. Mile after mile we passed through archways of bending palms, gigantic in size, and through groves of corozo trees. To my mind the latter is the most perfect representation of the picturesque in tropical vegetation. Its trunk is clad in the richest attire of parasitic life; its wonderful feathery leaves, often 30 or 40 feet in length, bend in elegant and graceful curves under the weight of their own luxuriance or the burden of ornamental vines, while beneath all this mass of tropical richness may be seen clusters of those delicious cahorn nuts hanging like immense cornucopias and containing two or more bushels. For a distance we passed beside a deep, swift stream, which flows for miles through a wild jungle, in the eternal shadow of the gigantic celabar and rubber trees, between whose moss and vineclad trunks grow palm trees of every description. Nature, all giving and bountiful, is here revealed. Precious woods are so common that rosewood is often used for telegraph poles, and the ties are of mahogany. Emerging from the jungle, we came to the banana plantations, and here I learned that this remarkable railroad transports to the steamers 60 per cent of the bananas which enter New Orleans. Practically all of the bananas consumed west of the Ohio river are carried on the railroad to the sea coast. Novel Invention Is Out A. M. Cleland, general passenger agent of the Northern Pacific, has perfected a novelty for the use of women travelers on sleeping cars which is pleasing the passengers. It is a tough paper bag, with "puckering strings," for holding hats, gloves, veils and other light articles of wear which are not in use on the car. The bag can be bung on one of the coat hooks and be entirely out of the way. Orders Thirty-Two Oil Burners. The Mexican Central railroad has ordered 32 consolidated engines, equipped with oil burners, delivery to be made in November, December and January. The engines will be built by the American Locomotive company. Native "Doctoring" a Failure. In a telegram from Natal it is said that the rebellious natives are losing heart because the "doctoring" of the medicine men has had no effect against the bullets of the whites. This "doctoring" is still one of the surest signs of disturbances. A British officer reports: "Faku (one of the chiefs) is reported to have doctored his tribe for war, but when I taxed him on the subject, he denied it. However, I had information that he himself had two small scars on his forehead, which were hidden by his headdress, which on removal exposed two small marks. He then admitted having doctored himself, but explained that it was on account of the illness of his child." Their Reason. "I wonder why the members of the douma went to Finland and then came back to St. Petersburg." "Perhaps because they hadn't been long at the business of representing the people and thought they had to have something to show to collect their mileage." Speculative Days Have Gone By for All Time. The railroad business, as it was developed in its earlier stages, was largely speculative, declares the Review of Reviews. A great part of the railroad mileage of the country was built in advance of actual needs, and the population and wealth of regions traversed by the new lines had to grow up to give solid value to the transportation properties. Thus, the railroad trafficked in lands, promoted manufacturing by special rate concessions, made bargains with grain companies and elevator lines, and entangled themselves with all sorts of side enterprises for the exploitation of the country. It was customary to look upon railroads not merely as private enterprises, but as of a highly speculative and hazardous nature. Most of the railroads at one time or another went into bankruptcy, and several of them went through more than one period of receivership and reorganization. As the country matured railroad property became more stable, until finally the great systems were well beyond the danger of seriour financial reverse. Business interests all along the lines became diversified, and it was no longer necessary for the railroads to secure traffic by endeavoring to locate and build up particular interests. The time came when there emerged the clear conception of the railroads as a great necessary public servant, with all the obligations of a common carrier, and with no right, therefore, to discriminate for or against any of those business required them to make use of the public highway. The whole thing has come about by evolution from transient, speculative, immature conditions to those of a riper period of industrial life and civilization. Yet abuses even when naturally outgrown are often hard to destroy. For even as the tree grows great, so, also, will the entwining parasite often have the stronger clutch. And many of the privileged industries built up on special transportation favors have been in a position powerful enough to make it difficult for particular railroad corporations to relinquish the rebates or the other forms of favoritism. It is probably true, however, that even if there had been no interstate commerce legislation the very growth of business conditions would have compelled the railroads to cease discrimination and treat all comers fairly. $10,000,000 to Save Half Mile The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad is spending $10,000,000 to save six and seven-tenths miles. An army of men and machinery are working day and night to complete the new Belen cut-off between "Texico, N. M., on the Pecos Valley line of the Santa Fe, and Rio Puerco, 30 miles east of Albuquerque, N. M. The length of the main line to Emporia is 124 miles, while by the cut off it will be 109.9 miles. It is asked why this vast expenditure of money if the distance saved is only 6.7 miles? As a matter of fact, the Santa Fe is really spending this money for the purpose of avoiding half a mile between Albuquerque, N. M, and La Junta, Col. The other 6.2 miles saved is not material. It is the 2,000 feet difference in altitude between the Raton Mountain, the highest point on the present line, and the Abo Pass, the highest point on the proposed cut-off, that is really material. But Men Must Work. In the tunnels in New York some bad accidents have occurred. In the locks used on these tunnels the compressed air escapes through the soft mud of the river as the heading is pushed forward. Every now and then an airhole is found and a "blowout" follows. This instantly reduces the pressure of the air in the chamber, and a fresh supply of air has to be introduced at great speed to catch up with the escape. During this short time the pressure may reach 40 pounds or more, and the effects of the violent fluctuation tell terribly upon the workmen. But the task must go on. As some men are borne off to a hospital others are ready to take their places. Every expedient that science has suggested is being adopted by the contractors, but victims continue to perish as a sacrifice to progress. Bailway with 728 Bridges: Archduke Franz Ferdinand opened the new Wocheiner railway from Assling to Trieste, which is one of the most remarkable engineering feats in the world, says a dispatch from Vienna. It is the first section in a new route through the Alps by which southern Germany will be connected directly with Trieste and traverses a beautiful but exceedingly difficult mountain country, which has necessitated the excavation of 47 tunnels and the building of 679 small and 49 large bridges. The bridge on the Isonzo river is the largest stone arched railway bridge in the world. Its span is more than 270 feet. Seagulls Attack a Man. A Danish sailor has had a narrow escape from meeting death from a flock of seagulls. His ship, the Flandria, from Cronstadt to Copenhagen, was within 50 miles of her destination when he was washed overboard by a heavy sea. He was a powerful swimmer, and divesting himself of his clothing, prepared to make a stout battle for life. No sooner, however, had the man got clear of his garments than a great flock of seagulls gathered around and began a fierce attack upon the intruder into their quiet domain, whom they peeled at remorselessly with their beaks. For six hours the man contrived to keep himself afloat, warding off his persecutors as best he could, one or two ships passing without noticing him. When at last a Russian steamer, the Elisa, took him on board his strength was utterly exhausted. Belgium will soon send a mission to Abyssinia in order to negotiate a treaty of commerce. The envoys will carry as presents to Emperor Menelk arms and ammunition of Belgian make, various scents and a silver toilet set. STOP, W AND CONSIDER THE ALL-IMPORTANT FACT STOP, WOMAN!

Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E.

But alum baking powder biscuits are never mentioned in this respect. Why? Because it is the cream of tartar that is objectionable and injurious, and yet there are some people who to-day continue to use the old cream of tartar baking powder, and wonder why they are always ailing.

Why a Little Village May Have Big Numbers in Its Post Office. The man who was spending his summer vacation in the country was looking quizzically at the mail boxes in the rural post office. "I did not know this was such a large place," he said. "I thought it had a population of only about 4,000, but the mail box numbers run much higher than that, and I don't suppose every one in town rents a box either." The postmaster peered out of his little barred window. "I can explain that," he said. "You see the country post offices never get new boxes, but we have those left over when the city establishes make over their offices and get new boxes. So you see lots of country places are bound to have high number boxes. "Although our numbers run over 4,000, you won't find any less than 1,000, some other country post office drew the lower ones. I myself would rather get the big numbers, for it makes us seem like a bustling little city." Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE."
