The funeral of the late Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, D. D., L.L. D. took place in Galloway hall of the university last week Thursday afternoon and was attend- ing something near 1,300 persons, including the district school, the 12 Episcopal districts and from various conferences throughout the United States. The stage was deco- rated with white crepe and palm cedar, and with plants and beautiful floral designs, in one of which were beautifully woven in white and purple flowers the significant words: "Not dead, but only sleeping." The dead prelate peacefully reposing upon a magnificent couch of bume hue, looked as lifelike as to give emphasis to the design. At the house prayer was offered by President Joshua H. Hones, of Wilberforce university, and the benediction was pronounced by Dr. H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder. Philadelphia, the funeral cortege wended its way to Callaway hall in the following order: Rev. James P. Maxwell, pastor of Trinity chapel, Wilberforce; Bishops of H. T. Turner, J. A. Gaines, B. F. Lee, M. B. Sathers, J. A. Hardy and wife, Evans Tyre, J. A. Berry and wife, C. T. Shaffer, C. S. Smith. Followed the bishops came the general president of the A. M. E. church, the students, and the family. The pallibearers are President J. H. Jones, Rev. J. B. Stanbury, R. C. Ransom, J. H. Webster, R. W. Fickland, I. Derrick, H. R. Cooper, P. S. Hood, W. W.

Arnett. opening hymn, "How Firm a Foundation" was rendered by the university choir, led by Prof. Geo. Simpson. The first Scripture lesson was read by Bishop Tyree, of Nashville, Tennessee, from the 90th Psalm. Prayer was offered by Bishop J. A. Handy, of Baltimore, Md. Then followed a solo, "My Sun Is Sinking," by Dr. P. S. Watson. The second Scripture lesson was read by Bishop Moses B. Salters, of Charleston, S. C. from the 2nd Cor. 15th chapter. Bishop C. S. Smith, of Detroit, read the obituary, he having been made a bishop at the same time that Bishop Arnett entered the bishopric at Chicago in 1888. Dr. Watson sang another solo, "Saviour, Pilot Me." The principal discourse was delivered by the senior bishop, Right Rev. Dr. Henry M. Turner, from Matt. 25th chapter, 21st verse: "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." The bishop made a plain and practical talk, in which he gave the highest encomiums to Bishop Arnett, in part, saying, "that he faithful servant, have increased his knowledge and helped God to make himself (Arnett). He was a hard worker and did more than any other man to give the great A. M. E. church prestige at home and abroad." In closing he said, "It will be a long time before we shall see his like again in the church." Following this address came a duet by Dr. Watson and Prof. Geo. Simpson, "Hope Beyond."

D. Scott, in connection with those above mentioned. The ceremonies at the hall being closed the funeral cortège again took up its solemn mfrch to the beautiful new cemetery on the Wilberforce grounds, where all that is mortal of the preacher, teacher, statesman and leader now sleeps in the windowless palace of the dead. Conference Held at the White House to Discuss Situation in Florida. Washington, D. C.-Slave holding and peonage in Florida was the subject of a conference at the White House Monday between President Roosevelt and Miss Emma Sterling, of Tampa, Fla., secretary of the Florida Humane society, who was sent from there to lay the facts before the government. "Barbarism, atrocity and cruelty are rampant in the slave camps in the southern parts of Florida," said Miss Sterling. "Conditions shocking to the moral sense exist. If present conditions are permitted to continue longer nothing short of a massacre and the slaughter of hundreds of lives will result." "Those responsible for these helpless black and white slaves are not residents of Florida, but come from distant states. The convict labor in itself is nothing but slave holding, for the treatment meted out to them by those who get them for a term of months or years as though they were purchasing cattle, is inhuman in the extreme."

Even in Seattle, hundreds of persons who were only "niggers" where they were born, are influential white men and women in Seattle, and why not? "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform," and perhaps the illicit relations going on between the white men and black women of the south is His way of bringing the two races together in the United States—Seattle (Wash.)

He saw that Atlantic City would be the playground of Philadelphia, and bought property there for $4,000 which is now worth $100,000. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. Chattanooga, Tenn.—Senator Foraker, of Ohio, in a speech before the survivors of the Army of the Cumberland here Wednesday night made his remarks concerning the trusts and the prosecution being waged against them by the government at the close of an address on the southern question. He said this question was as important as the regulation of trusts or railroads and is right, too. The senator in his address reviewed the progress of our race since emancipation, pointing out the fact that at the time of the war Negroes were without property. Since then, the senator said, Afro-Americans have doubled in population and own property valued at five hundred millions of dollars, and have established and are conducting schools, banks and universities of their own. He spoke of their loyalty to the flag and declared that this very loyalty seemed to militate against them, not alone in one section, but throughout the country. He denounced lynching, and said that many of the remedies for aiding the Afro-American would not do. He said that the idea of deporting them to Africa was veriest nonsense, and the thought of exterminating the race a thousand times worse. The senator continued, saying: "All attempts, by lynching or other forms of violence to reduce the Afro-American to a servile condition will be found, if persisted in, just as obvious to the American people of this day as was slavery to the American people of 1841-65. It is important to protect Cobans in Cuba, but it is even more important to protect Americans in America. "It is important as the regulation of trusts and railroads and business corporations on account of which we have been invoking the powers of the federal government and with respect to which powers the president has recently announced in public speech that they are hampered and hindered by decisions of the courts that he does not hesitate to say are, in his opinion, erroneous, and which should be, therefore, I presume. In some manner reversed or avoided by the president, he has specially undertaken and for which he has so conspicuously labored may be carried beyond anything he has yet accomplished. "If I understand what decisions are referred to, I do not believe that they were erroneous, and I do not like the veiled suggestion that they should be reversed, for I am less afraid of the greed of avarice than I am of the greed of power. I would like to see both restrained with the constitutional limitations our fathers wisely provided. But, if such a change should be wrought, it may be that under the new constitution thus to be established and promulgated by judicial construction, there may be found a way at the same time more fully to protect the life, liberty and political rights of the American citizen, as well as his property and commercial rights. If so, there might be some compensation for the numerous embarrassments and evils that I fear would follow in other respects. But, however all this may be, I have an abiding faith in the patriotism and saving common sense of the American people." * Mondovi, Wis—Mrs. John * Severson, a young Norwegian * woman, seven miles east of * here, in the town of Naples, * gave birth to four baby boys, * October 4. --- Our Park Company Gets Injunction. Jackson, Tenn.—In this city our people have a park owned by R. F. Flippin, A. C. Cain and Albert Twiggs. The company purchased the property before the Jackson Mineral Well was discovered. The latter is just opposite our park on the same street. The Jackson Well is owned by the city, as the city owns the water plant also. This is made a pleasure resort for whites, while we are not all wed on the grounds. Several thousand dollars have been spent in beautifying the place to make it attractive. Our taxpayers are forced to help keep it up without enjoying its privileges. Therefore our property is taxed to afford others pleasure that we are not allowed to enjoy. There is another fountain some distance from the well a side arrangement for Afro-Americans, with no accommodation what ever, as made for the whites, and the other race calls this justice. The street car company is extending its lines to several miles in the country on South Royal street. The mayor and city council granted the company permission to hail its track, but to put it on the side next to our park, so as not to obstruct the passage to the famous Jackson Well, which is mostly frequented by whites. Our park company brought a suit to restrain the company from laying the track next to our park, but to put it in the place of the road, as it has done in other places. We claim the property will be damaged $10,000. Judge Levi S. Wood, of the criminal court, has granted the injunction, thus restraining the street car company from laying its track until the matter is finally settled. True of All Large Northern Cities. In the current number of the Southern Workman, William L. Bulley points out the good effects of an evening school for Negroes opened in New York a year ago. He concludes by saving: "This school has served the purpose already of directing the attention of the community to the better side of the Negro question. There is an alarming influx of Negroes into New York City, many of whom are the dregs of society; there is a constant stream of thoughtless, indifferent young men and women from the south, who are attracted by the name north, without realizing the hopelessness of their situation here. This mass of idle, lazy, worthless Negroes who live by criminal practices, draws down upon the head of the whole race of Negroes, and the circumstances of the community is an admitted fact that prejides against the Negro in New York has increased immensely in the last few years, and it is attributed largely to the vicious lives of thousands of Negroes who have crowded into New York from the south and elsewhere. When the civil and educational authorities awake to the fact that it is money well spent to train in industrial activities these thousands of Negro emigrants; when employers and labor unions realize that opening the door of opportunity is at least partially closing the door to vice and crime, we may expect that the deplorable condition of the Negroes will begin to be only a matter of history. The idle man's head is the devil's workshop. Give the head something worth thinking about; give the hand something worth doing; offer to the man something worth hoping for; then expect a harvest of great industry and more widespread decency."

Smith Peonage Case to be Reheard. Cape Girardeau, Mo.—Another step has been taken in the well known Smith civil rights case, which recently was heard here in the federal court, and which resulted in the sentencing of Charles M. Smith and son and five other defendants to the Leavenworth penitentiary, besides the imposing of heavy fines for holding an Afro-American in slavery in New Madrid county. Counsel for the disease appeared before Judge Tinkham and made application for an appeal, on writ of error, to the United States court of appeals at St. Louis. The appeal was granted, and the seven defendants were admitted to bail, the bond in each case being $2,000. Do Not Serve Them. New York City.—"Such men as Hoke Smith, John Temple Graves, Vardaman and Tillman ought never be able to obtain any service from a colored man," said Oswald G. Villard, editor New York Evening Post, in an address before the Afro-American council in session here last week. "The time is ripe for serving notice on the country," said he, "that further efforts in any section of the land to degrade the Negro to a servile position, to create that impossible thing, a republic with millions of persons, taxed but not represented, shall be fought from now on. Leave the murdering in cold blood to the race that proudly calls itself the superior." Is Telegraph Superintendent. Bolder, Col.-Samuel B. Mackey, this city, is superintendent of telegraphy for the Colorado N. W. E. railroad. It is believed that Mr. Mackey is the only Afro-American in the country holding a position of this kind.

PETER A Self Made Man Who is Entitled to Much More than the Ordinary Amount of Credit for Success in Life Thus Far Won. The* above is an excellent portrait of a young man who came to Cleveland years ago and accepted the hardest work of various kinds with a view to aiding himself in securing the education he was fighting so hard to get. In this effort, as a very natural result, he lost his health. Just as soon however as he regained it, back he plunged into the same old effort, finally to emerge as the rector of an Episcopal mission at Dayton a few years ago. From there he went to Cincinnati, taking charge of a church in the "Queen City." In recent months he received a call from St. Mathews' church, Detroit, and assumed charge there Sunday, Oct. 7th. As many of our readers may surmise, Rev. Bundy is a younger brother of Rev. Dr. Chas. Bundy, D. D., presiding elder of the Cleveland district of the A. M. E. church. We are proud of "George's" success—as he was familiarly called by his good local friends of years ago—an call attention-grabbing way, believing that his success after many trials and tribulations will be an inspiration to the worthy of our youth who are endeavoring to make something above the ordinary of themselves. His Detroit charge is an excellent one. Nevertheless, we expect to see him rise higher because he has the ability, energy and perseverance. Need $1,775,000 for Total Need $1,775,000 for Tuskegee. To raise $1,775,000 to increase the endowment of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute to $3,000,000 is the purpose of President Booker T. Washington and the trustees of the school. Clarence A. Powell is soliciting subscriptions in Cleveland. "We need $3,000,000 to carry on the work successfully," says Powell. "This fund would yield sufficient interest to pay for the education of $1,000 Ours is a public work. More than 1,500 pupils came to our school last year from 36 states and 12 foreign countries. About half of these were taken and others had to be turned away. We employ 154 instructors, and teach our students how to use brain and body. Since the school began, 6,000 young men and women have been sent out to help carry on the work of the world." Personal Mention. Washington, D. C.—Mr. Edward Spurrock, deputy sheriff, and Mr. William Moore, deputy treasurer of Franklin county; Z. R. Jackson, messenger in the state treasurer's office; Mr. G. Jones, letter-carrier, and I. D.

"It is important to protect Cubans in Cuba, but it is even more important to protect Americans in America."—Senator J. B. Foraker. Nashville, Tenn., and Austin, Tex., Afro-Americans are fighting "jim crow" street cars with large automobiles. They have organized strong transportation companies. Good! That Chattanooga, Tenn., Ed Johnson lynching case is soon to be taken up in the United States supreme court. Its decision is being anxiously awaited by thousands of our people because it means so very much to us all. From Maj. Charles R. Miller, commander-in-chief of the United Spanish-American war veterans, is due an explanation, if our esteemed conferee, the Washington, D. C., Record, is right in its statement published elsewhere in this paper. The loud-mouthed, drunken Negro and the "rag-time" singing and whistling young monkey Negro in public places, especially on the streets and in the street cars, are the bane of the race particularly here in the north. They are a positive nuisance and are doing our people incalculable harm in many ways. Let our ministers and other speakers as well as our press "preach it" to our people of every community. Put a dollar bill or more in a letter and send it to R. T. Brown, Jackson Tenn., and tell him it is to help Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. church, fight in the courts for the race's rights as inter-state passengers on the railroads of southern states having "Jim Crow" car laws. This is the duty of every loyal Afro-American who has sufficient manhood and wo manhood to properly value and appreciate their citizen rights. DESERVES UNSTINTED PRAISE. Mr. Felix Rosenberg, of this city, who was a major in an Afro-American volunteer regiment, gave an exhibition of common sense and broad-gauged manhood in a speech at the recent United Spanish-American War Veterans' encampment at Washington, D. C., that was alike creditable to his race (Jew), the country and himself. In opposing the demand from the south for separate camps for Afro-American veterans he said, and quite truly, too: "The colored soldier is good enough to belong to my camp. This is not a question of social equality. That does not enter. It is a question of military service. Black and white stood on equal footing in line of battle. There is no reason for discrimination in this organization of veterans." The colored soldier, he continued, had been found good enough to march shoulder to shoulder with the white in Cuba, the Philippines and elsewhere. He had been found good enough to save the white soldier at trying times, particularly in Cuba. Maj. Rosenberg also cited the navy, where colored and white sailors have always been enlisted on the same footing, and said: "But for politics it would be so in the army, but for politics this question of separate camps would not be raised here." Prejudiced southern veterans not only want the separation noted, but also insist that the word "colored" he officially prefixed to the names of camps and departments so constituted. This is simply a part of the same old continuous effort of the south to humilize, insult, degrade and ostracise the Afro-American whether civilian or soldier, and will be thrashed out at the veterans' encampment next year in Oklahoma. At Washington the fight was between northern and southern factions with Maj. Rosenberg, an ex-confederate officer, leading the former. May he win at Oklahoma is our earnest wish and that of the race. THE REAL REASON. But the masses (Afro-American) have taken no more active interest in the organization and maintenance of the (national) council than they did it in that of the (national) league. The same hundred that laid the basis of organization at Chicago have stuck to the work, with the exception of a baker's dozen, who went off by themselves because they were not allowed to hoose the work when a majority had pronounced against them, and would do it again under like circumstances. —M. Y. Age. It is true that there were those who objected to the way the editor of the age was made president of the coun- cil some years ago, and left the organization. They numbered many more than "a baker's dozen," however. As to the ground for their complaint and action we are not so sure because we were not in attendance upon that or subsequent meetings of the council. There were others, however, beside the writer who lost interest in the organization and left it when it dropped its antidisfranchisement suit which was pending in the United States supreme court when Timothy Thomas Fortune, the editor of "Age, Age, was made president, and which has never been heard of since. All of us had given of our hard-earned means to help raise the retainer fees of the two lawyers (Messrs. Birney, of Washington, D. C., and Romaine, of New Orleans), a third, a Mr. Pillsbury, of Massachusetts, (if memory serves us) refusing to accept any fee because of his interest in the race. Money for other purposes in connection with this suit was freely given in addition to the large outlays necessitated in attending meetings of the organization and its executive committees. This will explain why many others, beside those who objected to the way Mr. Fortune was made president of the council first, became discouraged and dropped out of the organization. They wanted tangible and telling results of material good to the race or at least some real effort to secure them, and withdrew when the organization discontinued its only good excuse for existence. When Bishop Alexander Walters succeeded to the presidency a year ago we hoped—but in vain. We hoped because it was during his incumbency of office prior to Fortune's election, that the suit referred to was started. We have written the bishop repeatedly in the last few years inquiring about that suit only to receive answers to every other question except those relative to it. The real reason the league died and the national council has been dying for several years is apparent and was again made plain at its annual meeting in New York City last week—it is nothing but a "windjamming" affair. This is true of every one of our so-called "national" organizations. They are positively no material good to the race and ought to die. The following editorial note from the Age written last week while the council was in session in its city, is highly suggestive: "The Afro-American people talk more about their wrongs and do less to have them righted than any other people on the globe. Talk never won a victory. They take, intelligent organizations back, hard cush to accomplish anything." Had the council backed up its suit in the United States supreme court there would have been a death-blow struck to disfranchisement and as a result absolutely no limit to its strength and popularity with our people. Let any one of the several "national" organizations accomplish practical results for the race in the courts against disfranchisement or "jim-crow" cars, or practical results in congress or a state assembly which is the better course to pursue against mob violence, and our people of this country will rally to its support with cash and all else necessary to make it the powerful organization needed, in such a way as to make even the editor of the N. Y. Age acknowledge that they will support, and splendidly too, real national organizations. Only results however, not wind, will or should cause them to lend such support. What a tremendous amount of money and excess wind have been "blown in" at the annual meetings in recent months of the National Negro Business Men's league, The National Federation of Women's clubs, The National Niagara movement and the National Afro-American council! Good Lord! Deliver us! One tenth of the money squandered in attendance upon any one of these meetings would defray all the expenses of a suit in the United States supreme court against disfranchisement, or to determine the rights of our interstate passengers on all railroads operating in southern states that have the degrading "jim-crow" car laws, Waiter Arrested for Refusal. Xenia, O.—William Eyler, (white) a waiter in a restaurant, was arrested recently on a warrant charging that he refused to sell a cup of coffee to David Maxwell, son of Hon. C. L. Maxwell. Young Maxwell says in his affidavit that he was discriminated against, because of his race, while the waiter, of course, denies it. Twenty More Indicted. Atlanta, Ga.—The grand jury last week returned indictments against 20 white men, charging them with rioting in Atlanta on Sep. 22. The names of those indicted have not yet been made public. Previously, two white men had been indicted on the same charge. "Bleeding Kansas." Offeville, Kas.-Not content with enforcing the separation of the races in public schools according to the state law, the school board of this city forces Afro-American children to enter and leave the school here by the back door, while the whites use the front door. Opens $20,000 Hotel Philadelphia, Pa.—The opening of the Hotel Scott, a new $2,000 hotel, owned and controlled by Amos Scott, an Afro-American, took place recently. The house is modern in all its appointments. Killed Him. Manila, Phillippines—First Lieutenant Robert B. Valvert, (white of the, Twenty-fourth Infantry, U. S. A., has been killed by Sergent Taylor, of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, at Alberna, province of Leyte. Thomas O'Regan, a baker, of Maysville, Ky., shot and killed Mrs. Becky Bradford and later threw himself in front of a moving train and was instantly killed. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1906. Pretty and Serviceable Dresses for Women THE LADY'S DRESS Matinee of Yellow Silk Embroidered in raised Work, and Pale Pink Chiffon Cloth Embroidered in Garlands of Shaded Pink Flowers. More Concerning Headgear and Coats --- The smartly dressed woman looks to Paris for ideas in dress. Her American independence is too pronounced, however, to always take in entirely the styles as turned out by the modistes of the gay French capital, but she readily adapts them to her own tastes and needs, selecting the prettiest and best of the modes and discarding those which fail to meet her fancy. But it is probable that the small smart coats which are the special delight of the French woman will be adopted quite in toto by American women. These coats are of various sorts, either matching the costume or in silk or some other material that makes crisp and fancy costumes. Most of those worn in Paris up to date have elbow-length sleeves—that is, they come just below the elbow, while a few end halfway between elbows and wrists, and a still fewer number have sleeves extending as far as the wrists. Some of these coats are wholly loose, others three-fourths fitting; Matinee of Yellow Silk Embroidered Cloth Embroidered in Garlands some are half fitting in the back and loose in the front, and many partake of the nature of the pony coat. A delightful little coat for a long-waisted woman has arrived this side the water from gay Paris in a color quite gay enough to match that city. It is a red serge, and the skirt, of walking length, is laid in side plaits that are loose, so far as their outer edges go, from the hem to within a few inches of the waist line. Of course, such a skirt is suited to tail or thin figures only, and this is what its wearer is. The skirt is perfectly plain. The coat has a pony back, bebbing up in what would be ridiculously short-waisted fashion on any but a tall, thin woman, and even then, unless she possesses grace—and alas! that type seldom does. In this in- The small hat will abound this year, that is, if we follow the styles as set by our French sisters. One of the richest and most handsome of the hats is a cream-white felt, very thin, soft and light in weight, trimmed with ```markdown ``` Gray Cloth Coat. small shaded dahillas, tulle, and velvet to match. The shape is moderate with a tulle with a trimmed flame shown on the left side is raised to show the trimmed bandeau, but is not tilted. WHEN AN OLD MAN TALKS. Uncle Dan Preaches a Homily Concerning the Objections of Friends. "I surely run up against a stump," said old Uncle Daniel, as his friends call him, and who is now verging on to his allotted years of three score and ten, "when I informed the folks who have always, in one way or another, been dear to me. that I was contemplating another embarkation on the sea of matrimony. "I have a fairly decent income," continued the old fellow, "and there is no one dependent upon me, so what's the use of all this howl?" he queried. "Even yesterday," he went on, "the man who has been my bosom friend almost since we were children, said to me: 'Now look here, Dan, this will never do; you white-haired old ghost. If you get married again I'll shak your name off my list of friends.' That's what he told me. "Now," said Uncle Daniel, "I'm prepared to preach a sermon or deliver a lecture or whatever you please to stance, however, the woman is slender rather than thin, and has none of the jerky, angular movements going with the angular frame. The coat trouss are quite new. They slant down from the back and the under-arm seams, and then they round up to the center, parting and swinging loosely apart. There is a seam some five inches from the edge, partially shaping the coat, and where the coat rounds over the bust five or six little tapering seams, like those used in or in making darts, slant in from the edge, and where they end, about the center of the breast, there is an aplique of two crescent-shaped ornaments in shaded reds picked out with silver, and at each end of the crescent are small, round medallions of very dark red velvet. These five-inch sections of the coat are faced with dark red velvet, and there is a narrow, tapering collar of red velvet around the neck, ending on a line a little above the crescents, the ends of the collar slipping through, or rather un- in raised Work, and Pale Pink Chiffon of Shaded Pink Flowers. der similar crescents, each ending in a short, sash-like arrangement of the velvet. The ends of the velvet come a little below the bust line. This velvet, being a fine pane, is as supple and graceful as satin. The sleeves end just below the elbows. The full tops are plaie I into the armholes and in the center of the sleeves four inches above the lower edge the fullness is laid in four plaies, two on each side, turning toward the center. Across the top and near the bottom of these plaies are small crescents, matching the larger ones, with smaller blits of velvet at their ends. The bottom of the sleeve is finished with a band of velvet shaped to fit the slight flare outward of the sleeve's lower edge. Narrow red silk braid finishes the outer edge of the velvet bands on the sleeves and the inside of the collar. The back brim bends down a bit over the collar, and is filled in with shaded yellow and orange and brown tulle. At the left side appears tulle and loops in the several shades of yellow, and brown velvet ribbon is looped in with it. Around the crown and also nearly covering it are masses of small velvet and satin dahilas of differing sizes, and shaded grasses, all the latter being in dull browns and yellows. A loose spray of the dahilas and grasses droops far down on the left side under the brim, and is caught back so that it rests against the hair. The growing popularity of motoring has created a demand for the motoring coat, which the manufacturers have been eager to satisfy. But if a coat especially dedicated to motoring is too neat a luxury, one may choose a coat that will answer for numerous occasions—for driving, travelling and general rough weather wear. The Scotch and English manufacturers are having their innings in the furnishing of material for such coats, and servicable tweed and chevot mixtures and other rough, loose woven stuffs are the popular choice for the big, loose, cleverly tailored coat. Check and plaid effects innumerable are produced in these materials, but as a rule, the colors are so blended, and the lines so vague that there is nothing spectacular or loud about even the plaids. It is in the black and white novelty checks and plaids that the most pronounced effects are shown, and even here the preference is for irregular designs less bold than the big block check of the spring season. call it upon this subject. This objecting friend of mine has a wife and a loving family of children. They are all grown and he is as happy as a man can be, while I am entirely alone, if I was a millionaire or anything like that do you suppose my good friends would get up on their hind legs and denounce me as an old imbecile and in my second childhood when I announced that I intended to remarry? Oh, no, siree; you can bet your boor they wouldn't!" emphatically remarked the old man. "It would be 'glad of it' from everybody. They would express their best wishes and declare that I ought to have some one to look out for me and all that. Look out now and see if you don't get an invitation to my wedding in the course of time." Uncle Dan's friends are mean enough to say that he only thinks he should take unto himself a wife when he is troubled with a bad case of liver trouble, and then he is in that condition there is no woman in the universe so unwise to consent to be his helpmeet. RUN DOWN FROM CRIP Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Have Cured This Form of Debtiness in Hundreds of Cases. "Four years ago," says Mrs. F. Morrison, of No. 152 Carson street, South Side, Pittsburg, Pa., "I took a cold which turned into the grip. This trouble left me all run down. I was thin, had backache much of the time, had no appetite, my stomach was out of order and I felt nervous and unstrung. "While I had the grip I had a doctor, but I really suffered more from the condition in which the influenza left me than I did from the disease itself. I felt generally wretched and miserable and the least exposure to cold would make me worse. I couldn't seem to get any better until I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I very quickly noticed a benefit after I began taking them and they restored me to good health and strength. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks to them I am now in fine health and have had no return of my former trouble. I recommend the pills to everyone who is ailing and take every opportunity to let people know how good they are." Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs. Morrison because they actually make good, red blood. When the blood is red and healthy there can be no debility. The relation between the blood and nervous system is such that the pills have a very decided action upon the nerves and they have cured many severe paralysis, locomotor disorders, such as partial paralysis, locomotor dance, that have not yielded to ordinary treatment. Their double action, on the blood and on the nerves, makes them an ideal tonic. All drugists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectadet, N.Y. Animals Do with Little Water. Animals Do With Little Water. There are some animals which rarely drink; for instance, the llamas, of Patagonia, and certain gazelles of the far east. A number of snakes, lizards and other reptiles live in places devoid of water. A bat of western America inhabits waterless plains. In parts of Lozere, France, there are herds of cows and goats which hardly ever drink and yet produce the milk for Roquefort cheese. KING OF SAFE-BREAKERS Marvelous Delicacy of Hearing Possessed by Milner James. "Milner James was the most artistic safe-breaker in the business," said Lecoqe the detective. "He is dead now. He opened in his time over 700 safes without tools or gunpowder solely by working out the combination with his delicate and patient fingers. "It took me a year," he once said, "to learn the trick of picking combinations. I studied all the locks there were and I had three safes of different makes to practice on. The ear is the most important factor in my method and it must be held tight against the safe door on a line with the tumblers. When the knob of the lock is turned slowly and one of the tumblers reaches the notch corresponding to the first number of the combination the tumbler will fall with a little click. Care must be taken not to displace this tumbler. You keep on trying the knob back and forth gently till each of the tumbler drops. Then the door opens. Hardly one man in a thousand has an ear delicate enough for this work and to be a success at it you've got to give up tobacco and alcohol." DAY OF TRIUMPH POSTPONED. Dudekins* Has Yet to Get Even with Witty Charmer. She had been having fun with poor Dudekins for a long time, and he was wishful to get even with her. His idea took the form of a brilliant conundrum, whose answer Dudekins thought was locked in his manly chest. "I hve a conundrum for you, Miss Frances," he said, when he next met her. "Ah!" she responded. "What is it? Who gave it to you?" "I made it up myself!" he asserted, bridling somewhat. "Indeed! What is it?" "Why are my clothes like the moon?" She hesitated a moment, and Dudekins began to look triumphant. "You may think," she said, slowly—and Dudekins somehow felt the sand slipping from under him—"it is because you have a man in them, and have received him to think as you please. But, Mr. Dudekins, opinions differ!" NO DAWDLING. A Man of 70 After Finding Coffee Hurt Him. Stopped Short. When a man has lived to be 70 years old with a 40-year-old habit grown to him like a knot on a tree, chances are he'll stick to the habit till he dies. But occasionally the spirit of youth and determination remains in some men to the last day of their lives. When such men do find any habit of life has been doing them harm, they surprise the Osteries by a degree of will power that is supposed to belong to men under 40 only. "I had been a user of coffee until three years ago—a period of 40 years—and am now 70," writes a N. Dak. man. "I was extremely nervous and debilitated, and saw plainly that I must make a change. "I am thankful to say I had the nerve to quit coffee at once and take on Postum without any dawdling, and experienced no ill effects. On the contrary, I commenced to gain, losing my nervousness within two months, also gaining strength and health otherwise. "For a man of my age, I am very well and hearty. I sometimes meet persons who have not made their Postum right and don't like it. But I tell them to boil it long enough, and call their attention to my looks now, and before I used it, that seems convincing. "Now, when I have writing to do, or long columns of figures to cast up, I feel equal to it and can get through my work without the fagged out feeling of old."

Further notice of the affair will appear in our next issue. The new officers of the Old Folks' Home are: president, Mrs. Aria Sellers; 1st vice president, Mrs. L. A Cunningham; second, Mrs. Cornelia Blue; corresponding secretary, Bertha J. Blue; financial secretary, Mrs. Cornelia F. Evans; treasurer, Mrs. Henry C. Walker; chairman board of lady managers, Mrs. Rosa Brooks. Mr. Edward Buchanan was buried Wednesday at 10 a. m. from Boyd & Dead. He married Miss Nora Davals, of her marriage about 18 years ago. She is also dead. Mr. Buchanan was a member of the Caterers' association, which had charge of the funeral. He had made many friends since his return to the city a few years ago. Mr. Neil Finley, of 42 Longwood avenue, and Miss Anna Bardwell, of 4812 Payne avenue, were married at St. John's church October 9. The reception at 42 Longwood avenue was largely attended. Helen Bolden was bridesmaid and Mr. Ed Duprée best man. Mr. and Mrs. Finley received some handsome presents. We wish them a long and happy married life. So many complaints of inattention, slighting patrons and the like have been recently made against white undertakers by Afro-Americans that we are at a loss to understand why any of our people persist in ignoring our own men in the undertaking business and patronizing others. A little self-respect and race loyalty is what some of our people need greatly. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Burris, of Wakeman, and Mr. Lindsey Pulley, of Lorain, Mrs. Burris' father, spent Monday in the city and called on The Gazette. Mr. Burris is a rural free delivery mail carrier. In all probability the only Afro-American rural carrier in the north and possibly in the country. He succeeded in securing the position after a civil service examination and a protracted contest. A social will be given at Mrs. L. Jones', 604 Sterling avenue, corner of Pine street, Tuesday evening for the benefit of St. Andrew's church. A fine program will be rendered. Among the participants will be: Mrs. Beulah Griffin est, our prima donna sojourn, Pearl Miss da Grant, Pearl Miss Fiona Wm. Anderson, a quartette of little boys, Mr. Sissle, Misses Allie Riddle, Dorothy Stanley and Master L. Jones, the baby violinist. Adults 10 cents, children 5 cents. Be sure to attend.

Mr. Dudley was toastmaster and members of the company gave specialties. Chas. Smith, secretary to Chief Kohler, made a fine speech. Mr Dudley made a decided hit in song when presented with flowers by members of the loyal lodge when he sang "They certainly look good to me. Because he was a member of the I. B. P. O. E." He characterized the affair as the most enjoyable yet tendered him and the company. entirely on the development of the orders to devise methods; I also know and can see to broaden and grow we should come in contact with each other and be more united.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" 80 Herculean Club Pleasant Club Rooms and Cafe The Negro Massacre at Atlanta The Negro Massacre at Atlanta Little is lacking now to demonstrate the injustice toward the Negro of the white people who administer affair in Atlanta. They make loud professions, their larger action speaks more than their words. A local newspaper, by false reports of Negro outrages upon white women, stirred up a murderous white mob, which wantonly assassinated a score or more of peacable, decent and law-abiding Negroes (pp. 601, 607). This reign of white terror lasted long enough for a few practically helpless Negroes to fight back and kill a white man or two in self-defense. Now note the official action. The grand jury indicts 60 Negroes for murder, and 16 white men for riot! If that is white Atlanta's official expression on the subject, then the assault for anybody to pretend that Atlanta has any sort of justice. The white assaults upon the Negroes were horribly savage; but worse than the savagery of the assaults is the subject cowardice of the white community which deliberately tolerates them. —Chicago Public. Who Is Mai, Charles R. Miller? Commander-in-Chief Charles R. Miller, of the United Spanish War Veterans, is drawing the color line in this organization. Maj. Miller comes from Ohio where there is least distinction as to color prejudice, and we are surprised that being a "Buckeye" he would attempt to segregate the colored veterans. Maj. Miller has attained much prominence by reason of having been elected to the highest office among the young veterans and it is not likely that his colored comrades in Ohio will forget his recommendations to draw the color line. During the Spanish war Ohio sent to the front one colored battalion. The records of the adjutant general's office show that his soldierly bearing this organization was second to none, and now for him to say that his comrades in black shall be set off to one side, is a very bitter attack upon the loyalty of the Negroes from Ohio. Maj. Miller may have cause to refute this statement at no distant time.—Washington (D. C.) Record. Traveling East or West.

At the first indication of ill-health, painful or irregular periods, headache or backache, secure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and begin its use. Mrs. Chas, F. Brown, Vice-President Mothers' Club, 21 Cedar Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For nine years I dragged through a miserable existence, suffering with inflammation and pain and awakening. I came out, pain and awakening, one day not satisfied by a woman suffering as I was, but who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I determined to try it. At the end of three months I was a different woman. One ever remembered about it, my husband fell in love with me all over again. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound built up my entire system, cured the pain. I am sure it will make every suffering woman, strong, well and happy, as it has me."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS. They Are of the Greatest Benefit to Growing Flowers. Prof. Darwin said that if it had not been for insects we should never have had any more imposing or attractive flowers than those of the elm, the hop and the nettle. Lord Avebury compares the work of the insect to that of the florist. He considers that just as the florist has by selection produced the elegant blossoms of the garden, so the insects, by selecting the largest and brightest blossoms for fertilization, have produced the gay flowers of the field. Prof. Plateau, of Ghent, has carried out a series of remarkable experiments on the ways of insects visiting flowers. He considers that they are guided by scent rather than by color, and in the connection he is at variance with certain British naturalists. Whatever may be the attraction in flowers to insects—as yet, it appears undefined—it is certain that the latter visit freely all blossoms alike, making no distinction between the large, bright-colored ones and the less conspicuous blossoms like those of the currants, the lime, the planetree, the nettle and the willow.

The mud lumps are broken open, and the fish, perhaps eight or ten inches long, will be found alive, and often frisky, as if just removed from their supposedly native element, the water. Maizy Pop and Lemon Squash. After generations of conquest in the United States—where it began its career humbly in the child's little patch on the farm hillside and at last rose to the glorious height of resort fame, along with peanuts and salt water taffy—popcorn has invaded England. This seductive product worked its way through the middle west as "crackerjack," and attained favor in Boston and Coney Island as "crispettes," but in the south it has won its place without disguise and still bears the wholesome old name of popcorn. In England, where they are wont to call American corn "malize," popcorn has bloomed out with a molasses flavor in pink and white cakes and wearing an outer garment of oiled paper. As a concession to English prejudice, its introducers have christened the new delicacy "malzypop," and it has immediately popped into popularity. Jans Adopt American Method.

Bruashed Scales from Face Like Powder—Under Physicians Grew Worse—Cuticura Works Wonders. "I suffered with eczema six months. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on me without touching eczema. My face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want everybody far and wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrie Place, Camden, N. J., April 25, 1905." Tricks of Smugglers Tricks or smugglers. Double-bottomed bottles and other vessels are common contrivances for smugglers. In order not to awaken suspicion they are usually filled with some beverage, beer or wine, and this is duly declared by the man in charge of the vehicle in which they are carried. At the present time, however, the officers are never deceived by the double-bottomed bottles, nor, for that matter, by the hollow horse collar, which at one time was a favorite dodge for the alcohol smuggler. CCPPER SAFE FROM LIGHTNING Belief Firmly Held in Many Parts of the Country. "This matter of superstitions is a queer thing," said the man as he carefully avoided walking under a ladder, "for even those of us who are skeptics have at least one superstitions falling, and mine is walking under ladders. "In the country this summer I met a new one, which was firmly believed in by several farmers, and that was that a thunder storm never passed over a copper mine or copper vein. The old fellow who told me about it pointed out again and again that although black clouds might roll up and lightning flash, the storm always went around a certain spot in his farm. "Such actions on the part of a thunder storm could mean but one thing, he said—that there was a copper vein. So sure was he of it, that he was putting by a little each year to have the spot investigated to see if there was copper enough in it to work." INTERESTING CONTEST. Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage. One of the most curious contests ever before the public was conducted by many thousand persons under the offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words out of the letters Y-LO-Grape-Nuts. The contest was started in February, 1906, and it was arranged to have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906. When the public announcement appeared many persons began to form the words from these letters, sometimes the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amusement and education. After a while the lists began to come in to the Postum Office and before long the volume grew until it required wagons. to carry the mail. Many of the contestants were thoughtless enough to send their lists with insufficient postage and for a period it cost the Company from twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid mail. Young ladies, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these lists and count the correct words. Webster's Dictionary was the standard and each list was very carefully corrected except those which fell below 8000 for it soon became clear that nothing below that could win. Some of the lists required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately but, the company had no idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so generally, and they were compelled to fill every available space in the offices with these young lady examiners, and notwithstanding they worked steadily, it was impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 29, over six months after the prizes should have been awarded. This delay caused a great many inquiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report in practically all of the newspapers in the United States and many of the magazines in order to make clear to the people the conditions of the contest. Many lists contained enormous numbers of words which, under the rules, had to be eliminated "Pegger" would count "Peggers" would not. Some lists contained over 50,000 words, the great majority of which were cut out. The largest lists were checked over two and in some cases three times to insure accuracy. The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese, 1227-15th St., Denver, Colo., with 9941 correct words. The highest $10.00 gold prize went to S. K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 correct words. A complete list of the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal card. Be sure and give name and address clearly. This contest has cost the Co. many thousand dollars, and probably has not been a profitable advertisement, nevertheless perhaps some who had never before tried Grape-Nuts food have been interested in the contest, and from trial of the food have been shown its wonderful rebuilding powers. It teaches in a practicable manner that scientifically gathered food elements can be selected from the field grains, which nature will use for rebuilding the nerve centres and brain in a way that is unmistakable to users of Grape-Nuts. "There's a reason." Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. THE WINNING STROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO Louisville, Ky. San Francisco, Cal. New York, N.Y. LITTLE THINGS AND BIG. Differentiate Between the Essential and the Non-Essential. Little things are often of great importance, but when they are so they are not little. The pinion of a watch wheel, for example, in one sense is little, in another sense it is not so at all; for when it is not perfectly adjusted, the watch is worthless for timekeeping. It is not size that makes a thing little or great, but its relation to the end for which a number of things are combined. If a thing is essential it is important. Because so many of the people who are always preaching the importance of little things fail to discriminate between the little and the non-essential, they often make a wretched mess of the management of their own and other people's affairs. Theoretically, if every factor that contributes to a result is perfect, the result will be perfect; but practically, for want of time, strength and opportunity, the efficient man is compelled to neglect some things for the sake of others; and, in order to do this and yet secure the main end, he has to discriminate between the essential and the non-essential. The one who is thoroughly imbued with the false doctrine of the importance of little things, spends his strength without discrimination, and usually succeeds in missing the main chance.—The Watchman. FRANK J. CHENY makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J. CHENY & Co., doing business in the City of Chicago and attends meetings, and that said firm will pay the sum of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS that cannot be cured by the use of HALL'S CATARNE CURE. FRANK J. CHENY sworn to before me and subscribed in my presence this 6th day of December, A. D. 1886. W. GLEASON, [REAL] Microbe of Gray Hair. They have discovered a new microbe in New York and it is quite popular among actors and society women. It is called the chromophage, its special function being to turn the hair gray at a comparatively early age. The handsome actor who has those white hairs on his temple that the women admire so is full of the chromophages. Baldheaded men are immune from the microbes. He only attacks the hair, and a man without hair need not worry about the chromophage. For years it was thought that a process of the blood killed the coloring matter of the hair cells, but scalpologists in New York combat that theory. They say it is the chromophage. The microbe does not like heat and for that reason the woman who uses the curling tongs is less likely to have gray hair than the one who puts her hair up in papers.

Lower Animals In Sickness Lower Animals in Sickness. Man might often take from the lower animals a lesson as to the care of himself when ill. All sorts of animals suffering from fever eat little; he quietly dark, airy places, and drink quantities of water when a dog loses his appetite he knows, and a dog grass, which acts as a purgative and emetic. Sheep and cows, when ill, seek certain herbs. Any animal suffering from chronic rheumatism keeps as far as possible from the sun.

Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropsy. I was weak and help- says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropy. I was weak and helpless, having run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural, and all my taps and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Kept Tax Receipts Long. Charles King, of East Liberty, a suburb of Pittsburg, is what might be termed a careful man. He has been a voter in the East Liberty district since 1857, and when asked on the last registration day if he had a tax receipt he pulled from a pocket tax receipts for the last 41 years. When asked by the registrar if he had any more he replied that if he went down deep into his "strong box" at home he might possibly find a few dating long back before the oldest member of the board was born. Mr. King is now 78 years old, having been born in Baltimore in 1828, removing to East Liberty in 1857. His first presidential vote was cast for John C. Fremont and his last for Theodore Roosevelt. He is a stanch Republican and as a contractor and brick manufacturer for half a century has contributed much to the upbuilding and growth of East Liberty. Industrious French Workmen. Industrious French Workmen. Nearly all the workmen employed in the naval arsenal at Toulon, France, add to their salaries by exercising another trade during their leisure hours, are hotel carpet beaters, others distribute prospectuses and handbills, or act as parcel carriers for local shop owners, who many joined recently in all service jobs that he was so overworked at the arsenal that he had no time to exercise his profession of masseur. A number of arsenal hands actually carry on their supplementary trades in the yards. There are amateur shoemakers, watchmakers and barbers, who carry on a thriving and lucrative business among their comrades. The ameer of Afghanistan has engaged an electrical engineer to install electrical machinery in the factories in the new town which he is building, 30 miles north of Cabul. The arms and ammunition factories will probably be moved there, and manufacturing industries started. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of Charles H.
