First White Man Arrested Charged With Murder—Sixty Afro-Americans Indicted. Atlanta, Ga.—The first arrest in connection with the recent massacre which resulted in the death of 18 innocent Afro-Americans and a number of white men was made last week Friday. Walter Edmonds, a butcher, was placed in jail charged with having killed Frank Smith, an Afro-American messenger, while the latter was being pursued by a mob. The grand jury the same day returned 16 killers, all of whom are against white men, charging rioting. In one, found by the grand jury after an investigation of the killing of Heard, a county policeman at Brownsville on Sept. 23, 60 Negroes only suspected of being implicated were indicted on the charge of murder.

"REAPING THE WHIRLWIND" "REAPING THE WHIRLWIND" OF HER OWN SOWING, SAYS BOS TON HERALD—HORRIBLE MAS- SACRE NECESSARY CONSE- QUENCE OF TEACHING HATE OF HER COLORED CITIZENS —MORE WILL FOLLOW. Result of Sentiment that Colored Race Must be Slaves of Whites Who Can be Murdered Without Penalty— Not Due to Crime or Rape —Color is the Crime. --- Makes No Difference How Honest Industrious or Intelligent Negroes Are—Those Killed Were the Industrious Men—Whites Do All the Ruling. Unfair to Ask Colored Men Not to Conceal Their Criminals When Whites Give No Fair Trial—White Men Don't Convict Their Own—All Rane Bad (Boston Herald Editorial.) In this INIQUOTUS, HORRIBLE MASSACRE at Atlanta, Georgia has reaped only what it has DILIGENTLY SOWN for a long term war, and especially during the last year. It is not the first, and IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST, REASONABLE AND NECESSARY CONSEQUENCE OF A CONSTANT INCULCATION OF RACE PRJUDICES AND THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL, LEGAL AND UNCHRISTIAN WRONG. They tell us that the mob which went about the business of indiscriminate murder of Negroes regardless of all considerations of guilt or innocence was largely composed of boys and young men. NATURALLY IT WAS. White Youth Taught to Hate, Rob and Murder Colored People The youth of Georgia have been SYSTEMATICALLY TAUGHT TO HATE NEGROES, TO ROB NEGROES, TO OPPRESS NEGROES, TO CHEAT NEGROES OF THEIR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS AND TO MURDER NEGROES The office of a large portion of the press and the politicians, and, we learn, of the PULPIT, TOO, is to increase scorn and embitter the relations between the races which in the providence of God are living together, must live together, and to create a sentiment that the ONLY SAFE CONDITION OF ASSOCIATION IS THAT OF MASTER AND SLAVE, the master having as aforetime unregulated liberty of oppression and full license to MURDER OFFENDING SLAVES without being answerable to any law framed to SECURE the equal rights of all. Black Rapists of White Women and White Rapeists of Black Women We would be among the last to offer any condensation of the alleged offences against virtuous white women by criminal Negroes, or, for that matter, against virtuous Negro women by criminal white men. If we read our Bible aright God is no respecter of person, and holds a lecherous, white man in no more esteem than a lecherous Negro. But the primal instinct of human nature and the lesson of experience shows that the PUNISHMENT OF THE INNOCENT FOR THE CRIMES OF THE GUILTY DOES NOT DISCOURAGE CRIME. The Crime is Color, Not Idleness—in Does Not Secure Rights. Why should it? If virtue be no protection what is the use of living right? We read in the southern newspapers that idenities is the cause of the vicious tendencies of many Negroes. But this Atlanta mob entered a barber's shop and BEAT TO DEATH TWO NEGROES WHO WERE SERVING THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE CRIME OF THE NEGROES IS NOT IDENESS BUT THE COLOR. Being Negroes they have no rights which white hoodlums who are "out for blood" are bound to respect. For a year past the people of Atlanta and all southern people have been standed against their hoodlums no MATTER HOW HONEST, IN TELLIGENT OR INDUSTRIOUS A NEGRO MAY BE he must not be permitted to vote or to hold office; he must be SUBJECT TO LAWS MADE BY A HOSTLE RACE; he must be an UNCOMPILAINING, enduring and HELPLESS atom of the population with no right to exercise the more honorable privileges of citizenship. Not Fair to Condemn Race for Not In considering this outbreak of mali- ture, it is necessary to remember THAT THE CITIZENS NESSER ITS WHITE CITIZENS. THEY MAKE THE LAWS, THEY EX- FORCE THEM, THEY CONTROL THE COURTS OF JUSTICE. THE NEGROES ARE IMPOTENT. When we read, as we do in countless southern newspapers, that it is the duty of the Negro race to aid the legal authorities in the discovery and punishment of the criminals of their race. we are compelled to ask what assurance they have that the alleged criminals will have a fair trial at the hands of the administrators of the law? It is not quite fair to ask them to surrender members of their race to be arrested without trial and proof of guilt. White Men Refuse to Aid Officers of Law to Convict White Lynchers LAW to Convict White Lynchers. All these fine exhortations have a hollow seeming in view of the practical impossibility of obtaining from white men testimony that will convict one of them of participation in lynch- GAZETTE. ing a black man, although hundreds have knowledge of it. The Negro is under no greater obligation than the white man to aid in the enforcement of justice by the courts. When the murderers in the Georgia mob of last Saturday are delivered up to trial, convicted by the testimony of white men, and are punished adequately, we shall be more disposed to second the demand that the Negroes shall cease to shield their own criminals, whether suspected or known. Negroes not to be Blamed for Shielding Criminals When Murder is Probable Result. Negroes are not more blameworthy than the other race for reluctance to give up one of their number, and especially when they have reason to suppose he will not have a fair trial, or have no trial at all, but be cruelly murdered on suspicion. Those who would have justice must do justice, whether they are white or black. The white race does not exhibit itself in a commendable light, condemning Negroes for imitating their own example in defeating the apprehension and just punishment of wrongdoers. The law in order to be respected must be equally just to all who are subject to it. Not Last of Its Kind. These are some of the reflections that the lawless proceeding in Atlanta has suggested. There are many more that might be presented. This dreadful thing has come to pass as the result of a long course of race in the city, and we stand alone, and we greatly fear it will not be the last of its kind. THAT ATLANTA MASSACRE Ohio's Senior United States Senator the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker's Grand Comment. The following is from the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 27th uitt, and was "very inconspicuous placed" by the editor of that democratic daily, writes our friend, Prof. W. P. Dibney, of the "Queen City," who sent it. "The situation at Attica is too shocking, too uncivilized, barbaric and un-American to be discussed calmly and dispassionately," said Senator B. J. Foraker yesterday. "Others may say what they like in explanation, but I think one of the largest factors in bringing about this deplorable situation was the character of campaign recently made by Hoke Smith for his nomination for governor, and the advertisement in one of the leading newspapers of Atlanta offering a thousand dollars reward for the lynching of a Negro under circumstances similar to those under which a Negro had been lynched a few weeks ago in South Carolina. I hope somebody will call on that newspaper to pay $1,000 reward for the lynching of a murderer he has had a tendency to make it appreciate what a serious outrage it has committed against society. "It may be, as southern men say, that we are unable to understand their situation and their relation to the Negro race. I can understand that they have conditions with which we are not familiar and with which we do not know exactly how the authorities should deal, but all civilized humanity everywhere will cry out against such indiscriminate murder of innocent men as has taken place in Atlanta. Lynch law and mob rule are to be denounced even where the victims are guilty ones, much more where, as in this case, not one of the 30 or perhaps 60 men we have encountered two or three hundred who have been wounded, had any connection whatever with the assaults that it is claimed made by colored men. "There seems to be great concern about the outbreak of an insurrection in Cuba by a lot of irresponsible and lawless bands consisting largely of Negroes and half-breeds 'taking to the bush', to use the vernacular of the island, and warships and marines and troops by the thousands are being mobilized for the maintenance of law and order there. I think what has happened in Atlanta, and what is likely to follow, for I regard that as only the precursor of other things of like nature, are far more serious, so far as we are concerned, than anything that has happened in Cuba and yet there does not seem to be anybody, outside the municipal and state authorities of Georgia, very deeply concerned, although American citizens by the score have been murdered and by the hundreds have been bounded and hounded. "No, I decline to be interviewed for fear I may say something that somebody may take exceptions to, and I should regret that, but I would like to know from somebody who has authority to speak, what protection a citizen of the United States has at the hands of the United States government here at home under the flag, to which he has always been loyal, and under the law, as against which he has never been guilty of any violation whatever?" God bless Ohio's senior senator for the above! Of all the great men in this country he is the only one (white) to so forcefully express himself in public print anent the Atlanta or any other of the many fearful massacres of our people in the south for years. The senator has told the truth and has covered the ground thoroughly. More power to him! There was and is absolutely no good excuse for the Atlanta riots and they were promoted by Hoke Smith's campaign literature and the Georgia daily newspapers. Let President Roosevelt say something if he cannot do anything! The law abiding people all over this land have been waiting patiently for weeks for at least some expression from the chief executive of the nation. American citizens, men, women and children, not Russians or Cubans, were butchered like dogs in the streets of Atlanta! Do your hear, Mr President? BISHOP B. W. ARNETT School Teacher—Minister—Legislator—Bishop—A Race Leader—Eloquent Speaker. Right Reverend Benjamin W. Arnett, who died Sunday evening at his home in Wilberforce, this state, after many months' illness, was born in Brownville, Pa., in 1838 where he received his early education and taught school from 1859 to 1867. He was licensed to preach at Louisville, Ky., March 30, 1865 and on April 19, 1867 took charge of the A. M. E. church at Walnut Hills, now a part of Cincinnati. He also taught in our schools of that city. From there he went to Toledo in May, 1870, where he pastored an A. M. E. church for three years. He was returned to Cincinnati and successfully pastored church where he was at Urbana and Columbus where he was pastored in 1860 when elected financial secretary of the church. Rev. Arnett has been grand director of the Odd Fellows, a delegate to church and Sunday school conventions, at home and abroad, as well as a delegate to many political and race conventions. He was married at Uniontown, Pa., in 1868 and is survived by a wife, several sons and as many daughters. In 1885 he was elected a member of the Ohio legislature from Green county, the seat of which is Xenia. The most conspicuous act of his career was the introduction and passage of a bill which wiped from the statute books of the state the remnants of Ohio's black laws. These latter permitted separate schools and prohibited intermarriage. Later on he was elected to the bishopry of his church and has for years been one of its church and been known and popular bishops. If memory serves us correctly, he was the only Afro-American member of Ohio Archaeological society. He was possessed of great natural ability, a fluent and even eloquent speaker and possessed the happy faculty of making friends. From one corner of this country to the other, heartfelt sympathy will go out to the bereaved family. A FRIEND'S TRIBUTE Truly a mighty one of our race has fallen and all that we who are left behind can now do is to drop a silent tear and pay reverence to his memory. My acquaintance with Bishop Arnett has extended over a quarter of a century, during which time our associations have at times been very close and always enjoying each the confidence and esteem of the other. So his death comes to me as that of a very dear and close friend, beloved for his many and magnificent qualities of head and heart. A few weeks ago I called upon him and, when ushered into his presence by his faithful companion, he greeted me with his accustomed smile and, as of yore, took my hand and clasped it with both of his. Truly it was a sad meeting to me to see this great giant of eloquence lying powerless upon his bed HON. JERE A. BROWN. even not able to raise his head. How my mind quickly traversed our past connections, and my tears at his condition copiously prevailed. We talked of the past, of several memorable events occurring during our intercourse, and his face lighted up with his old smile. It was my good fortune to be associated with him as a member of the Sixty-seventh general assembly of Ohio and know intimately of his grand work therein. When we met and shook hands after mutual congratulations, being sworn in as members, his first words were: "Son, I am so glad to be with you, and be united so as we may accomplish some good." His meaning was that any good we could do in the way of legislation was to be first racial and secondly humanitarian. All who are now living know of his heroic struggle to secure the abolishment of the so-called Black laws, the obstacles he had to overcome, the threats of political annihilation should he persist in his advocacy of the repeal of the objections statutes, the sly and pericidia, workings of our enemies, the untrue charges by friends of the delay in forcing a vote on the bill, would have dismayed and caused many a man to abandon the bill to its fate, but he never doubted, never doubted and today progeny can bless him for his true and manly stand which eliminated all distinctive laws from Ohio's statute books regarding the race. On the day of the passage of the act of repeal the chamber was packed to its utmost to hear his real experience of the passage of the bill. He was in a happy mood of his life and I say without hesitation that no man of color has ever pleaded for his race as he did on that occasion. It takes its place with that of Patrick Henry and every citizen of Ohio should have a copy of it. Again he championed and by his eloquence was instrumental in having passed, as he chairman of the committee on temperance and enacted into law the bill which provides for the teaching in the public schools, "The Effects of Narcotics on the Human System." Again was the chamber packed and this time by the ladies of Ohio interested in the cause of temperance as they had chosen him as their champion Oh. to what heights of eloquence he was made point after point when interrupted with questions by the adversaries of the measure, he was cheered to the echo. And also in this connection he was the main instrument in the establishment of the normal and industrial department located at Wilberforce, O., which is a credit to his foresight and the urgent needs of the youth of our race. Surely the bishop has made the world better by having lived in it and his motto always was "for God and the race," which he fulfilled at all times. Powerful in thought, quick in action, his intentions always for betterment of conditions with which he was equipped. We can write his epitaph, "Stat Magni Nomilis Umbra." Farewell, my brother and friend, until we shall again clasp hands in the glad resurrection morn.

Magoon, the retiring American minister to Panama and governor of the canal zone, arrived here recently from Colon. He is not favorably impressed with the Chinese as a factor in the construction of the canal. "There are at present from 2,000 to 3,000 Chinese on the isthmus," said Gov. Magoon, "and as a citizen, I do not think they make desirable laborers. They cannot be depended on as much as can the Barbados or native Negro. As a result, the government has enough money he starts a shop of his own and the government loses a man. The good results that have been attained in several parts of the world by the use of coolie labor have been due to the great power exerted by the coolie contractors. This would almost be a system of peonage that the United States would not tolerate." New Castle, Pa.. Notes. Rev, and Mrs. Fonville have returned from Philadelphia.

Out of a host of candidates Glenn was named recently as head of the department of languages in the Afro-American schools at Washington, D. C., a $1,900 position. Speaking of the Atlanta massacre the Topeka (Kan.) Plaindealer says: "Let President Roosevelt speak out. A word from him would be helpful and would go a long ways to ameliorate matters in those states where Negroes are not, regarded as citizens. He spoke of the outrages on the Jews in Russia; now, let him speak of his own country, of which he is ruler." Booker T. Washington can say to "retaliate is fatal," but if the Negroes of Atlanta had not retaliated or done something akin to it when they were being murdered, hundreds instead of scores would now be cold in death. The Negroes of Atlanta did the right thing in defending their homes and themselves, for if they had to die, it was better for them to die like men than to die like cowards—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. The time for Booker T. Washington to have gone to Atlanta, Ga., to "sucor his afflicted people," was when the bloody work was going on. Tom Fortune makes the reading public stick, as Washington ten times more harm than he does himself. It is folly to lay that bloody tragedy at the doors of the "poor white trash." It was the bidding of the better class—the growth of the seed the Clansman has been sowing. The "poor white trash" are like the poor black trash, in that both suffer for many things the other classes do. But coming back to T. T. Fortune in feeling for "Dr. Washington," we say—"Good Lord deliver the Dr. from his friend."—Pioneer Press. Our heart goes out to W. J. White, editor of the Georgia Baptist, on account of his enforced removal from his home in Augusta. The reason for him having to leave his home and business is that he had the nerve to criticise Savannah, Georgia's "Jim crow" street car system. Editor Jimrow had a good plant, possessing among his office fixtures a fine linotype, but all his interests and his business must be sacrificed because he essayed to be an American citizen. The worst feature of the affair is Mr. White is an old man and can ill afford to leave his home at this late day. Things are coming to such a pass in this country, that we are almost ready to ask if the government at Washington won't afford the Negro bare protection in life, liberty and happiness. —Pioneer Press. Any farseeing person could peruse carefully the accounts coming from Atlanta during the reign of anarchy, and by reading between the lines would see that murdering innocents never ceased until Negroes began to do some very effective shooting. We are no lover of bloodshed, but as it seemed some had to be spilled before order was restoged, we could see no reason for Negroes permitting themselves to be shot down like dogs and making no resistance. No race on earth has ever gained anything by being one of cowards, and neither will ours. It is the duty of the officers to protect us as they do other American citizens, and if they fail to do so it is duty to do it with such dogged vim file resistance that we will spread terror to the hearts of those who assail us. * * Negroes were wonderfully hands-capped, having to contend with the mob, state troops, special officers and others, it is said by witnesses to the horrible affair that they showed the greatest heroism. It is even said that there were times when as many as 20 white men would be doing battle with one lone black man, and while he would be finally battered down to die, he would invariably give a good account of himself ere he was overpowered—Pioneer Press.

Southern white men thought the same way during slavery days and—well, it is unnecessary to say more. That Atlanta grand jury last week Friday indicted sixty Afro-Americans only suspected of the murder of a white policeman the day following the massacre, and for the killing of eighteen or twenty and wounding of three or four hundred of our people in that awful affair it has indicted three or four of the thousands of white mob murderers and criminals. Comment unnecessary. That firebrand, Ben Tillman, broke out again the past week, and in speaking of the Atlanta massacre said things which are a positive menace to the safety of thousands of communities. It seems to us as if it is about time for some loyal, self-respecting Afro-American to close his mouth if the federal government cannot or will not. It was this same blatheskite—Tillman—who assailed the chastity of all our women and in public speech, too. That was the limit! The death of Right Reverend Benjamin W. Arnett, a bishop of the great A. M. E. church, is a distinct loss to our people of this country. Ohio's laws and its people, without reference to race or class, are better as the result of his life. He had exeptional influence for good along both secular and religious lines among our people of the entire country. He was active, aggressive and loyal in his effort for God and the race, as well as the country at large, and all peoples of all the world. His family, for whom he has done so much, have the heartfelt sympathy of all Afro Americans, especially those who reside within the confines of this state. PROPER INDEPENDENT ACTION The Afro-American republicans of Mercer county, West Virginia, met recently in convention at Bramwell and nominated a ticket from among their number, endorsed President Roosevelt's and Gov. Dawson's administrations, reaffirmed their allegiance to the principles of the republican party and in strong and unequivocal terms denounced the "political demagogs, who claimed to be republicans, because of their very unreasonable and unfair treatment of its colored citizen voters." This last means Mercer's white county officers. This same sensible disposition to rebel in a proper way and for similar reasons, seems to be spreading and has cropped out in western Pennsylvania as noted in their last issue, and in the third congress district of Virginia. It is encouraging to say the least because it is certainly needed and long overdue. The fate mistake made in the past by dissatisfied Afro-American republicans was that they joined the democratic party and in so doing not only lost the influence of a just cause but killed all chances of a just cause by "bumping from the frying pan into the fire." Stay inside the party ranks and do your fighting. Do not join the democratic party or permit any one, or democrat, to force you out of the republican party, regardless of what you feel it your duty to do in order to rebuke either the party or its ungrateful leaders. Mercer county, West Virginia, Afro-Americans have taken the right and a very proper course, and have our sincerest best wishes for the success of their movement. May their kind increase. The republican party, generally, needs greatly just the kind of an awakening only such efforts will bring about. Nothing else will ever force it back to its former moorings and cause it to retake the old stand for liberty, rights and manhood for all citizens without reference to race, color or previous condition, that made it the grandest political party on earth. A MISTAKE! The meeting held in Clayton hall Saturday evening for the purpose of promoting a movement to purchase the Disciple church on Cedar avenue, with a view to making of it a social settlement house or "Jim Crow" Y. M. C. A., was poorly attended, possibly a dozen and a half people being pres THE GAZE11E, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1906. ent. Rev. B. J. Prince presided. The outcome of the meeting showed conclusively the sentiment of a majority of our thinking people of this community. The movement was frowned upon. A majority of those present were decidedly opposed to it and expressed themselves more or less less. Prejudiced whites of this community are drawing enough color lines without our people going to great and unnecessary expense to add to it. Then too, the financial condition of nearly all of our churches is such as to stand the assistance of all the money from proper sources their ministers can secure for them, and there should be no additional burdens in the nature of charitable or dependent institutions foisted upon our people of this community because they show that they are hardly able to properly support those they have now. There is no crying need of a social settlement house or "Jim Crow" Y. M. C. A., but there is for decent homes which our people might rent. A movement to organize a stock company for the purpose of securing decent places to rent to our people would indicate far better and more practical judgment than the one sought to be inaugurated by those who promoted the meeting of Saturday evening. With a little proper effort our Ministers' union can reopen the Y. M. C. A. to the deserving of our people, and it will prove all the social settlement house necessary, as far as we are concerned, for years to come. Persons who have located in the city in recent years—less than 10 or 15 years—ought to be very careful and move slowly in matters of this kind. It is so easy to make mistakes from all of our people of this community will suffer for years to come. Because our leading and best people of many years' standing are conservative and slow to resent and rebuke, is no reason that these good traits should be taken advantage of by persons who are practically new residents, and too, to the detriment of the latter. TIME FOR ACTION The persistent criminal outbreaks among the young men of our race cannot be overlooked. Nearly all of the revolting crimes that make decent, self-respecting Negroes drop their heads in shame are committed by young, ignorant, wayward Negroes. In utter helplessness the better class of Negroes ask themselves what can be done to correct this increasing criminal tendency that is making the very name of "Negro" a word of hate and contempt the country over. Unless some means can be found to increase the confidence of our fellow countrymen in our honor and trustworthiness, our case will go from bad to worse, until we are outlawed by the American people. We do not say for a moment that the accusations are often laid at our door are true; on the contrary, in many instances we believe them to be the result of prejudice, but the fact remains that common report says they are true and public opinion is the result of current report. All of the assaults may not be true, but too many of them are true. All of the loudness, lewdness and rowdyism in public places of which our youngsters are accused may not be true, but too much of it is true and we must stand condemned by public opinion. Nor is it by any means the case that the accusations that attracts public attention to our misbehavior is the work of the so-called ignorant and vicious. We are discriminated against on the street cars and in public places of amusement and pleasure as often on account of the actions of the young under-done Negro sport of good parents and better raising as by the Negro with poorer opportunities for knowing better. * * * * One of the chief causes for crime among us is lack of proper home restraints and training.—Charleston (W. V.) Advocate. The editor of The Gazette has talked so much in recent years to our people of this city and elsewhere, along the line of the above excerpt, that he has only to call attention to recent murders in Cleveland in which Negroes were the principal offenders, even in the cases where members of the race lost their lives, to emphasize what our esteemed confrence of the Advocate has so well said. That the whites do even more proportionately that is coarse, loud, bad and criminal than Negroes is no excuse and does not help our cause in the slightest. We are in the minority here in the north and cannot control public sentiment, which has everything to do with our life success in every community. We will be successful, too, just in proportion as that public opinion or sentiment is favorable to us. It is so strange that our people of every community, north especially, ninety-nine per cent. of us are of the working class, do not see this and attach vastly more importance to it. It has to do with every Afro-American bread-winner, with the home and fire side, far more than is generally understood, and no one is too ignorant to understand it. Every loyal minister, speaker and publication of the race should "harp upon" this all important theme until a restraining influence is worked up among our people that will cause at least a seventy-five per cent. decrease in the things complained of. Either this will be done or we will go on losing ground until those of the race who are what they should be, will be unable to remain in the country and live, to say nothing of retaining a single spark of self and race respect.

Address, President the Curry Institute, Urbana, O. 2t A WEEK'S NEWS IN CONDENSED FORM A WEEK'S NEWS IN CONDENSED FORM RECORD OF MOST INTERESTING EVENTS TOLD IN BRIEFEST MANNER POSSIBLE. HOME AND FOREIGN ITEMS Information Gathered from All Quar- ters of the Civilized World and Pre- pared for the Perusal of the Busy Man. THE CUBAN SITUATION. Charles E. Magoon, the newly appointed provisional governor of Cuba, has arrived at Havana. Coincident with his coming Gov. Tatt gave out a general decree proclaiming amnesty not only to the rebels, but to all persons charged with political offenses or crimes in any way connected with the revolution. The factional ill feeling that has existed at Cienfuegos since the presidential campaign of 1905 resulting in the death of Congressman Viluendas and Chief of Police Illance, increased during the recent revolution to such an extent that the return of the rebels from the field is causing a dangerous condition which the provisional government considers it highly necessary to end. The first landing of American soldiers in the present occupation of Cuba was accomplished at Havana with marvelous promptness, and 500 men of the Fifth United States infantry and 350 men of the Second battalion of engineers are settled under canvas in Camp Columbia. Now that the disarmament of the revolutionists and the government volunteers is progressing steadily, the thoughtful portions of the public of all nationalities are animatedly discussing the possibility of Cuba's future form of government. The desire for annexation, which has been carefully concealed for the past four years, is now voiced openly, and the wish that the United States retain some measure of actual control in Cuban affairs is heard more insistently than ever. Although the surrender of guns has not been made compulsory, either by the provisional government or the disarming commission, rebel commanders have all given their followers to understand that it was expected and that the laying down of their arms was a matter of duty. The result of this has been that the number of rifles surrendered is larger, in proportion to the number of men disbanded, than the government expected. MISCELLANEOUS Invitations for proposals to complete the Panama canal were issued by the canal commission, and the form of contract under which the work is to be done was made public by Chairman Shonts, who also gave out a letter written to the secretary of war giving the commission's reasons for contracting the work. The Wisconsin Central Railway company was formally transferred into the control of new interests at the annual meeting of the stockholders, which was held at te general offices of the corporation in Milwaukee.

The Japanese authorities refuse to allow an American company to ship goods over the Newchang railway unless a Japanese name is used.

Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, sold 750,000,000 tons of ore to the United States Steel corporation for $400,000,000.

Frank T. Hughes, who recently was found guilty of perjury in swearing that he was injured in the Colorado Midland wreck at Culbert's Siding, in June, 1903, when in fact he was mining 20 miles from the scene, was given a sentence of from three to five years in the Colorado penitentiary. George B. Schooley, of Philadelphia, cousin of the late James L. Crawford, a millionaire coal operator, has begun a contest of the latter's will. In the will that was probated immediately after his death, Crawford left all his property to his widow and his stepson, James G. Shepherd. While off. Singapore homeward bound from Hongkong, the British battleship Terrible lost her starboard propeller and eight feet of her tail shaft. "No matter what Mr. Hearst does, we are going to support him," said Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany hall. Nathaniel R. Hart, a prominent lawyer, was found dead in his office at Stanford, Conn., having shot himself during the night. Mr. Hart formerly was assistant United States district attorney and was 55 years old. The Wisconsin supreme court rendered a decision that cities must go to the legislature to get a remedy against high prices for gas. The city of Madison sued for inspection of the local company's books. Frank Kelly, aged 89, night superintendent at the Macbeth-Evans Glass company's plant at Charlerol, Pa., was murdered as the result of a quarrel over a game of billiards. The real secret of the recent illness of the sultan of Turkey was that he was shot in the abdomen by a Kirdish woman who was jealous of his latest favorite in the harem, a beautiful Circusian girl. The commissions appointed by Emperor Nicholas to investigate the causes of the Severn and Cronstadt militias have found that the blame was largely attributable to the negligence and inefficiency of the officers.

The vendetta existing between Oakford and Hemlock, rival villages in Indiana, has broken out afresh. The feud is confined to young men and boys, and when a man of one village calls upon a young woman of the other town it is a signal for bloodshed. It has been finally decided that the Panama canal will be completed by contract. This change in the building of the canal will in no way affect the employment of Chinese labor. The Trans-Atlantic Fire Insurance company loses in the first decision to be rendered in the San Francisco courts regarding the liability of companies which have refused a dollar for dollar settlement.

TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman. P O.

Nettle Williams, of Chicago, Ill. writes that "Mr. Eugene Manns, formerly of this city, was recently married to Luu Mills, of St. Paul, by Rev. J. C. Anderson, of the West Side, Chicago" and that "Mr. and Mrs. Manns live at 3125 Dearborn street, Chicago."

Mr. Edward Hunt, a prominent young business man of Toledo, and Miss Alberta French, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert French, of Blair street, were quietly married Sunday at 2 p. in. at the brides' parents' residence by Rev. R. W. Bagnall of St. Andrew's mission. They left immediately for the "Maumee City" bride, the redee, and Mrs. Charles Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hunt, parents of the groom, and son, Henry, of Toledo, were here to attend the wedding and returned with the bride and groom. The meeting held at Clayton hall Saturday evening to determine whether our people of this community should purchase a site for a social settlement house or "jim crow" Y. M. G. A. was attended by about two dozen persons. Rev. B. J. Prince opened the meeting with a statement, and presided. Rev. J. S. Jackson spoke in favor of such an effort and left the meeting before adjournment. The discussion that followed was very heated and decorum at times hard to maintain. The opposition led by Geo. and Chas. Sutton, A. H. M. Eag, Eeq. Edward Daw and Geo. W. Johnson was successful in defeating the movement. This is as it should be. The gentlemen named are entitled to great praise for the position they took and maintained so successfully. The jury in the Sisco-Clark case on trial in Judge Tait's court room last week, much to the surprise of every one brought in a verdict for the defendant late Thursday afternoon. We have yet to find a single person who heard the case tried, outside the memburs of, that "wonderful" jury, but THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1906. what does not express himself freely to the effect that the verdict was unquestionably contrary to the law and the evidence in the case, to say nothing of the judge's charge to the jury. So flargent was it as to justify one in believing that race or color predice, or both, were alone responsible for it. W. J. Hart, Esq., Sisco's attorney, who also has a case against Clark, the restaurant man, for Mr. Roy Bundy, tried the case well and made an exceptionally eloquent plea in closing, which under ordinarily fair circumstances would have won half a dozen such cases. He deserves unstinted praise and credit for the same. That our readers may know who the individuals were who constituted that jury, and be able to have a list for future reference, we herewith give information: Frank Stacey, 226 Oakdale street, L. P. McMahon, 539 Pearl street, D. Sisholz, 394 Scovill avenue; L. D. Bullard, 169 Woodland avenue; W. E. Miller, 169 Woodland avenue; W. E. Miller, 62 Barber street; Geo. O. Smith, 665 Hugen avenue; Frank Stacey, 78 Alexander street; Chas. Loesch, Parma, O.; Frank Bouska, 36 Ham street; Chas. C. Heyner, 1670 Broadway and Frank Smith, 38 Seymour. It is hardly necessary to add that Attorney Hart has filed a motion for a new trial which we feel sure Judge Frederick L. Tatt will grant because the jury's verdict was not only contrary to the law and evidence in the case, but equally so to his very fair charge. Early in the case the judge readered a decision on a legal technicality brought out by Clark's attorneys, which should be he was in possession of exceptional evidence, a special importance in the trial of all civil rights cases. It favored Sisco's side of the case and was eminently right and proper. All of our people of this community who properly value their rights under the law will center their eyes upon Judge Tatt, and await more or less impatiently his decision on Attorney Hart's motion for a new trial. We hope to be able to announce it in our next issue. More Indictments for Peonage. Knoxville, Tenn.—With the surrender of R. B. Oliver and G. S. Kuilbert the government now has under bond all of the seven men recently indicted on charges of poonage in connection with the revelations of slavery, cruelty and even alleged murder in the railroad contractors' camp near Maryville, Blount county, this state. Fifty of the Negro witnesses who will tell the horrors in the camp at the special term of federal court to be convened October 22, have been removed from the boarding houses here, where they were living at government exhouses in Maryville, where they will be kept under surveillance to prevent intimidation should such be attempted, until time for the hearing. Their testimony will be strengthened by seven white men who were employed at the camp, or by others in the neighborhood. Will be the Best Warships London, Eng. — The Daily Telegraph says that three armored cruisers now under construction, the Inflexible and Indomitable on the Clyde and the Invincible at Elswick, about which much secrecy has been maintained by the admiralty, are in reality battleships of as heavy broadside fire as the Dreadnought, but much faster. These vessels are in fact the naval capital of the battle for any navy, in that they will have greater offensive power than any two battleships in now commission in any fleet in the world, combined with extraordinary speed far in excess of anything hitherto attained. Decision Is Against the Companies. Baltimore, Md.—The decision of the state bureau of statistics and information as to the merits of the controversy between the Baltimore, Cheesapeake & Atlantic and the Maryland, Delaware & Virginia railway lines and the resigned captains of their steamboats, announced last night, is adverse to the companies and the Pennsylvania railroad, which controls them, and recommends that the governor compel the companies to perform their obligations as common carriers or vacate their charters.

In one case known to the writer a lady starting on an overland journey of several days' duration was, before many hours had passed, attacked by the usual symptoms. She decided to try the new remedy, whatever it might be, that she had been assured she would find in a good size box that had been given her at her departure. Although rather incredulous, the traveler tried the popcorn she found in the box, and to her gratification the nausea gradually disappeared. She ate freely of the corn every day whenever there was the slightest indication of nausea, and thanks to this simple precaution the journey was accomplished with her unwanted degree of comfort.—Harper's Bazar.

NERVOUS DEBILITY A Scranton Woman Tells How Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla Made Her Well and Strong. Nervous debility is the common name for what the doctors term neurasthenia. It is characterized by mental depression, fits of the "blues," or melancholy of energy and spirits. The patient's eyes become dull, the pink fades from the cheeks, the memory becomes defective so that it is difficult to recall dates and names at will. Some of these symptoms only may be present or all of them. The nervous system in tooning up the nervous system is no medicine better adapted for this purpose than Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla. Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 Warner street, Scarborough, Pa., says: "Some years ago I became greatly reduced in health and strength and my nervous system became so debilitated that I felt wretched. I could not rest or sleep well at night and woke up as weary and languid in the morning as I was when I morning and afternoon here was a pain in my right side which was worse when I sat down. My nerves were very tight, the time, every little noise bothered me and I was generally miserable. Then I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, as my husband and taken them with good results, and they did wonders for me. Now I have no more pain in my side, no more headaches, I sleep well and feel strong and able to do my work. Mrs. James' Pink Pills cured Mrs. Davies and they can do just as much for other weak, pale, slinging men or women who are slipping into a decline. They strike straight at the root of all common diseases caused by poor and impoverished blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on account.

Nero Perry an old Chickasaw freedman, who lives on Caddo creek, in the Chickasaw nation, supports himself by hunting game with a bow and arrow. Though 76 years old, he can send an arrow into a squirrel in the tallest tree. Perry went to the Chickasaw country in 1838 from Mississippi with Jim McLish, his old master. They settled on the banks of the Caddo creek, where they built the first house erected in the Chickasaw nation. Here they lived until 1861, when McLish died, then the old place reverted to Perry, and there he still lives. New York's Great Ocean Trade. New York is the second great seaport of the world. In 1903, over $9,000,000 tons of imports and 8,700,000 tons of exports were cleared through New York harbor. London is the greatest seaport, exceeding New York in imports, though not by exports.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1906. The Popularity of the Tailor-Made Gown THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Tailor-Mades—One a Corsetel Skirt with Bolero Fastened Together with Straps, and the Other a Mantle of Faint, Cream-Colored, Face, Cloth Women's Waists for Winter Wear Women's Waists for Winter Wear At the present moment the tailor-made gowns loom large on the horizon of the fashionable woman's sky, and some of the newest models are charming. I have been specially captivated with the three-quarter length Louis XVII. coats, which will be so very fashionable this coming winter. They are eminently becoming to well-set up figures, and they have a careless grace which is all their own. These coats are shaped to the figure, yet they give the impression of looseness; they are rarely worn fastened in any way in front, and they fit after the manner of a driving glove; moulded to the figure, and yet—loose. One of the new models which won Tailor-Mades—One a Corsetlet Skirt Straps, and the Other a Mantle of Fin my unqualified approval was composed of chiffon-cloth in pastel pink—a dull shade which had in it a touch of mauve as well as salmon. The round skirt cleared the ground and was set in at pleats—the latter being neatly stitched down from waist to hips; the three-quarter coat in Louis XVII style, had some handsome silk embroideries on the pockets and on the large cuffs, and the lining was of black and white taffetas in narrow stripes. The embroideries were worked in silks which matched exactly the cloth and the whole effect was most original and attractive. Another walking gown of the same genre was made of pearl gray serge, with elaborate machine stitchings on the round skirt and on the cuffs and pockets of the coat; in this case the coat was lined with the new gray-blue satin and there were Waists and blouses for fall and winter wear will be trimmed with lace and handwork as have the waists of the dresses. The blouses are Cashmere, volle with baby Irish all S. BRACEIM over and silk are combined in one development of dressy waist, white French headdress with hand embroid He who maims and speeds away will live to drive another day. Faint-hearted driver never won fair lady. "Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt, thaw and resolve itself into a dew"—so as not to make a jar when the machine strikes it. Don't cry over split milk—be thankful it wasn't the gasoline. But trailing clouds of gory do we come. Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to let them know you got it in a raffle. let them know you got it in a table. Man wants but little more below. (This makes no reference to the police judge). A very ancient and fish-like smell. A brine in time saves a fine. There is so much bad in the best of them: There is so much good in the worst of them. That it does not behoove us owners of any of them: To talk about the machines of the rest of them. —By Gasoline, in Life. some lovely buttons, in Art Nouveau style, of gray-blue caamel and dull silver. Round skirts will be more worn than ever this autumn—especially with three-quarter coats; it would seem as if these important looking garments ought to be accompanied by a trained skirt; but no, they look exceedingly smart and trim with a well-cut round skirt which clears the ground. Some exquisite tea gowns which I saw were made of the cobweb muslin, with lavish incrustations of Brussels point de gaze and with raised embroidery work in fine white threads. The gowns were cut on princesses, and had a quantity of lace arranged in soft frills on the bodice and elbow sleeves. rt with Bolero Fastened Together with e Cream-Colored Face Cloth. Crossed over the breast and tied behind in a big "Mousseme" bow wore lengths of crepe de Chine, embroidered and fringed with silver! For tea-gowns and for dinner dresses of a somewhat picturesque order the "Mousseme" sash will be a leading feature this autumn; to very slender figures it is eminently becoming, but it is not for the many. With regard to the hats for autumn wear, it is difficult to speak. They are for the greater part so wonderful and yet so simple. The most popular mode of the moment is the elche brim mounted by an immense crown of taffetas; round this crown a length of ribbon is twisted and tied in a large bow at the left side, towards the front, and the hat is raised on an amazingly high bandean—the latter covered with loops of ribbon. ery are utilized in others. All soft woolens and silks are adaptable for the blouse waist, and the short sleeves will be quite as much worn as during the summer. An effective elaboration may be found in French veiling with Irish and Val lace, silk poplin with repousse lace, eyelet needlework and fancy galloon, and also in crepe de Chine with hand embroidery. Wide and narrow tucks are being shown on the up-to-date shirt waist. One effective method of treatment is a group of fine tucks taken up at each side of the back turn from the center and continued to the waist line. Two similar groups are arranged at the front, where wider ones are also made, the first two extending to the lower edge while the others terminate at yoke depth, allowing the fullness to remain free over the bust. When blouses are made of glace silk the best effect is obtained when they are made plain. In our illustration we show a waist made of cream glace, which is of the simplest possible pattern fastened at the back. The trimming consists of a boxpeat up the center of the front and a square-cut piece at the neck. Both these are edged with silk frills headed by narrow insertion. The sleeves are gathered into the armhole, and below the elbow into a band that is finished by a drill. The fastening is down the back. As a becoming hat for this shirt waist a Tuecan hat trimmed with ribbon and an osprey plume is effective. The materials required for the blouse are four yards of silk 22 inches wide and three yards of trilling. PLEASURES OF CAMPING OUT. Have you ever under a tent— Spent A few days of unpacked bliss?

Do you believe that all the wonderful achievements of the nineteenth century—the railroad, the telegraph, the telephone, electric light, kerosene, sewing machine, agricultural machinery, steamships, trolley cars, etc.—have made life easier and better worth living? I do. I believe that a man who lives 40 years under modern conditions has experienced more life and better life than Methuselaem, though he had lived 20 centuries of his time. The triumphs of the nineteenth century were triumphs of human service—the placing of knowledge and the fruits of knowledge within the reach of the common man. Every man's life is better, happier, more secure because of them. We live more comfortable, more sociable lives in better and more comfortable houses because of them. Even the hopeless dweller in the worst city slums is more comfortable in his physical conditions than the middle-class citizen of the days of George Washington. In little things as in great, comfort and convenience have been the legacy of the "Century of Improvement." Paint, in a certain sense, is a minor matter, yet it gives beauty, healthfulness and durability to our dwellings. Fifty years ago painting was a serious proposition, a luxury for the owners of stately mansions who could afford the expense of frequent renewals. Today ready mixed paint is so cheap, so good, and so universal that no house owner has an excuse for not keeping his property well painted. A small thing, indeed; yet several hundred large factories, employing thousands of chemists and skilled workmen, are running every day in the year to keep our houses fresh, clean and wholesome. A small thing, yet a can of good ready mixed paint, such as one may buy from any reputable dealer, embodies the study of generations of skilled chemists, the toil of a thou-sand workmen in mill, laboratory and factory, and the product of a long series of special machinery invented and designed just to make that can of paint and to furnish us an infinite variety of tints, colors and shades. It was a wonderful century, that nineteenth of our era, and not the least of its wonderful gifts was that same common place can of paint. Uruguay's Financial Condition. Uruguay reduced her national debt by $1,570,450 during 1905. The total debt on January 1, 1906, was $121,455,747, of which about 80 per cent. was external. Uruguay is a prosperous country, and in her prosperity is a good customer of the United States. Exports of merchandise from this country to Uruguay for the nine months ending March 31, 1906, amounted to $2,172,276, against $1,200,542 in the same period of the previous year.

Experience of Winston Churchill Familiar to Many. Winston Churchill in an address that he made in Concord recently praised the New Hampshire farmer. "Ours," he said, "is a state fitted above all others for a summer resort. New Hampshire, with its superb climate, its mountains, its lakes and forests, will in a generation or two be one great pleasure ground—a vast park, dotted with beautiful villas, to which will come each summer families from all parts of America. "In anticipation of this many farmers are learning to conduct hotels. They are building cottages for summer visitors. Some of them, too, are taking boarders. "And I am glad to say that the New Hampshire farmer is in a position to take boarders, because, unlike the farmers in other states that I could name, he does not send all his good things to the city. I once boarded at a fine big farm, but the fare was wretched—canned vegetables, condensed milk and so on. "By Jove," I said one morning at breakfast, as I pushed my egg cup from me. "these eggs are really not as fresh as those I get in New York." My farmer host snorted. "That's rank prejudice on your part, Mr. Churchill," he said. "It's from New York that all our eggs come." LOOSE TEETH Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts. Proper food nourishes every part of the body, because Nature selects the different materials from the food we eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, muscle, teeth, etc. All we need is to eat the right kind of food slowly, chewing it well—our digestive organs take it up into the blood and the blood carries it all through the body, to every little nook and corner. If some one would ask you, "Is Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?" you'd probably say, "No, I don't see how it could be." But a woman in Ontario writes: "For the past two years I have used Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent results. It seems to take the place of medicine in many ways, builds up the nerves and restores the health generally. "A little Grape-Nuts taken before retiring soothes my nerves and gives sound sleep." (Because it relieves irritability of the stomach nerves, being a predigested food.) "Before I used Grape-Nuts my teeth were loose in the gums. They were so bad I was afraid they would some day all fall out. Since I have used Grape-Nuts I have not been bothered any more with loose teeth. "All desire for pastry has disappeared and I have gained in health, weight and happiness since I began to use Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

The British trade unions had not in their origin any direct concern with education, says the Fortnightly Review. But it is a fact of no ordinary significance that some of the leading unions should be taking very great interest in the higher education of the workman. For the last three years some 100,000 workingmen, members of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, have made three levies of one penny each to help on the work of Ruskin college at Oxford. This levy produces over £200 a year, and by means of it six engineers are maintained for a year's course of study at the college. Smaller but substantial sums have been contributed to the same institution by the London Society of Compositors, by the Lanarkshire Miners' County Union, by the Amalgamated Association of Beamers, Twisters and Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners and the Durham miners, while a large number of other societies appear among the donors and subscribers. NO REST NIGHT OR DAY. With Irritating Skin Humor—Hair Began to Fall Out—Wonderful Result from Cuticura Remedies. "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and fried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319 N. Del. St., Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 27, 1905" Chandler's Joke on Conkling Chandler's joke on Conkling. Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer and quite proud of his skill. One evening after considerable banter he induced Senator Chandler to "put on the gloves" with him. He played with Chandler for a few rounds, much to the discomfiture of the downcaster. The latter bled his time and some time later quietly brought a professional pugilist to dinner where Conkling was a guest. In the course of the evening "Mr. Smith" was induced to engage in a boxing bout with Mr. Conkling. The professional danced around the senator, landing when and where he wished, playing with him as he would with a punching bag. The elegant New York senator was dazed, overwhelmed, humiliated, crushed. When he surrendered and called enough, as he did at last, Senator Chandler smiled blandly and presented the pugilist in his true colors. The kidneys have a great work to do in keeping the blood pure.

A few doses of Donan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Donan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

WHO SHE WAS And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of'73" Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their women friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it for always before they hired a job. It was then that a printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household items of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinchuk herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick child who applied to her for advice and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment, the authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equalled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast experience. To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, some as Mrs. Pinkham and others, Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Which is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.

Pankham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa thetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make it their duty to nurture herbs and herbs, nature's own remedies, calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their character and power over disease. She maintained the knowledge boundly provides in the harvest-fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it is therefore important to prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choiceest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the lills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from the depression, so when the Centennial event happened it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.
