THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 15. FREY REV. DR. B. J. PRINCE FIRM. Belleview, Pa., Oct. 30, 1907. Hon. H. C. Smith. Dear Friend: I write to let you know that I am in the city of Pittsburgh, conducting a meeting, and will be in Cleveland as soon as I can Saturday evening. If I do not arrive in time to be at the meeting, please let the citizens know that I am for my race regardless of what may take place along the line of criticism from the "kickers" and traitors of my race. I am more than glad to say that I stand with the army of men who have stood by our race in every trial in this city. If I had ten lives, I would give every one for the cause of my persecuted race. All the money in this sin-cursed, so-called, liberty-loving country which boasts of a high civilization and honesty of purpose, cannot secure my approval of the chief magistrate of the country's burlesque of one of the bravest race this Union has ever seen or that it thoroughly understood that I am one of those men who have at heart a determination to try to defeat a congressman T. E. Burton because he is an enemy of our race, and I want my race of people to understand why we are using the argument that this man is an enemy to us. It is because he has proved himself to be such a man. His GIs are the boots of the president. Again, there is an argument going abroad that the only friend our race has in the halls of congress is willing to help elect this enemy in his strides toward the mayoralty of the city of Cleveland. My brethren that is good for politicians, but not for a race make it a good GIs. His chief magistrate is against the progress of that race. In conclusion, this is the opportunity of a lifetime for you, my brother, to prove yourself to be a man or an enemy of the race. The silly charge that you are a "democrat" if you fail to vote for every "makeshift" the republican party places on its ticket, should be ignored. I do not care what is said to me, but I do not care about my own用心 judge. He knows we are in the right and doing our plain duty in opposing Candidate Burton. Hoping you a successful meeting on Saturday evening, I am, Yours respectfully, (REV) B. J. PRINCE, M. D. First to Get a Carnegie Hero Medal. For the first time since the establishment of the Carnegie hero fund, an Afro-American, John B. Hill, of Atlanta, Ga., received an award.

He was recovering from an operation and was injured again in performing his heroic act. "Great God, is Brownsville Forgotten?" New York City, Nov. 4, 1907. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir; Congratulations! If the eliminators are not eliminated tomorrow, I too, shall cry, great God, is Brownies Forgotten! A. B. HUMPHREY, Secretary Constitutional League. In Union There Is Strength. SOME UNPLEASANT TRUTHS. En Route to New York City, Nov. 3 1907. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: Six years ago I quit the Franklin (O.) county auditor's office as stenographer and clerk to fight a cheap republican official and defeat, if possible, a "yellow dog" republican candidate for congress, Cyrus Huling, by name. I won one bet, the latter, but felt as you do now, no doubt, ungraint. I stood all the fickleness of small Negroes and crazy Caucasians. Death to the black scyphants. I won, yet I lost, for I was no democrat, and the tide flowed back. I hope Burton is defeated. Generally a Negro's battle against a white man, means defeat for the blacks. The whites flock like blackbirds. They want it a white man's country. But whether you win or lose, the national battle is on. "The Black Battalion" will be avenged, I swear it. Hundreds swear it. I have written many letters to the governor, because an absence is my reward. Before a year I hope to have a Spanish-American Veterans' association formed with headquarters at New York, despite any post-mortem consideration Roosevelt may grant us. The black man has been slandered before the world. Ten million blacks cannot afford to have no respectable soldiery. Suppose Japan should attack from our southern shores? Attack Alabama. Bestroy our enemy. Attack Georgia. Bestroy our soldiery! The whites can't even protect one Negro. Well, enough said. I am thoroughly with you. You cannot be bought out. I am doing missionary work, even along my menial lines. To stoop to is to conquer, often. If you don't beat Burton, there is another fight and I'll be one to tell them who Harry C. Smith is, and I know. P. S.—As a postscript I want to say that you have waged a remarkably loyal battle, though a sneer falls upon every Negro's heroism. Roosevelt has slandered the Negro before the world. What black man now desires to say that he was once an American man, but now is forking upon us? I want no final justification. I demand entire honor restored or nothing. Is our destruction necessary before the white man's civilization can be perfected? He has denied us in turn, freedom, wages, civil rights, fraternalism, public respect, a non-respecting God and our valiant soldiery, a non-respecting Forsyth for our next chief. If not his election, then before any Roosevelt type, why an out and out Tillman. No hypocrites for me. I am sick of that species of men always harping upon black criminals, as if color determined crime. As if fairness made fair Evelyn Thaw better in virtue than a black malden with her honor unimpaired. With this thriving financiers, looting politicians, boodling statesmen, dishonest merchants and adulterating manufacturers, the poor black man that steals a ham is unappalled an angel. A. S. P. The American Agriculturist in its report, is scant 24,000,000 barrels, much short of last year. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1907. ONE OF THE BEST TIME NEARLY GOVERNOR W. A. ROGER From "Harper's Weekly." Copyright, 1907, by Harper & Brothers "DISCHARGED WITHOUT HONOR." A RACE TEST! Prof. W. S. Scarborough and Others Flayed. BLACK TRAITORS! Are the Foraker Shouters of a Few Months Ago Who Supported Mr. Burton. (From The Boston Guardian.) We have commented before on the municipal campaign which is approaching the end in Cleveland. We have expressed praise for the manly stand taken by The Cleveland Gazette under the able and courageous editorship of Hon. H. C. Smith, and for the colored ministers who stand with him, and we have before been moved to the most righteous condemnation of the craven and contemptible policy of the Cleveland Journal, a Negro subsidized sheet of the newspaper. E. Burton the former president Roosevelt put into the Cleveland mayoralty field for the one fell purpose of entering the initial wedge to encompass the elimination of Senator For From "Harper's Weekly." "DISCHAR aker. At this late date and at this distance it may be useless to point out to our brethren in Cleveland that the brutal, unprecedented and unconstitutional action of the president in discharging, in disgrace, and without trial, a whole battalion of as brave and loyal black soldiers as ever denounced the uniform of this nation was a reason sufficiently strong to cause every self-respecting and fair man to courage to oppose religiously every man whom the president might set up in nation, state or city to consummate his policies. It may be too late once again to tell these stringted voters of Cleveland, Ohio, that the failure of the president to prosecute or punish white soldiers charged with a similar crime at Athens, Ohio, a year prior to the Brownsville affair, clearly convicts him of having been influenced by base and unworthy considerations of race prejudice as to the coloration of the uniform. It is not too late, however, to give voice to some reflections for the benefit of decent and many colored citizens outside of Cleveland, Ohio. When such a man as Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce university, a member of the Niagara movement, which declared against Roosevelt last August, with the historic words of Senator Foraker ringing in his ears exhorting colored men to stand up for their friends and oppose their enemies, whoever they may be, or to whatever degree they may be, to visse the colored men in Cleveland to vote for Burton, which really and necessarily means to do the bidding of President Roosevelt, especially as he is an outsider, it is time seriously to inquire whether or not the American --- GAZETTE. Negro is the most naturally service, docile and ungrateful (or politically stupid) of all the children of God? It is safe to say that almost every other class of people in this country similarly branded and insulted by the president would oppose EVERYTHING BEARING THE ROOSEVELT LABEL, ever since we ever yawned yawned untoughet them. It is no concern when we race as a race加持 ingratitude, instability and lack of the manly power of just resentment to our own interracial prejudices against each other, the other races regard us either with humor or contempt or both. To those colored American fathers and mothers who have children upon whose shoulders the great problem of the future should appeal with terrible force, falling upon the cavern and the ingrate like the flaming voice of the Prophet condemning them to utter damnation. A few months ago before the shouting and tumult had died away, every black man in this country, save a few quiet officeholders grunting hog-like at the swill trough, was vowing eternal opposition to the president and all who oppose him. And by the Great Jehovah that Roosevelt and his tribe must perish from the earth. The excitement and frenzy gone the Negro has again sink to his level and reassumed his time-honored estate of service salaaming puppet. To the psychologist and sociologist the Cleveland, Ohio situation presents a theme rich in its biological significance and comnotation. They may want to be Negro. Negro is a child or infant? A man stands up and hits back; a child remembers and doubles his chubby fist—an infant, God pity it, lies supinely and hath GED WITHOU neither memory nor resentment. This of course applies to those colored citizens of Cleveland who shall vote for Burton and to all those who advise them to do so. It is not our purpose to prejudice the black electorate of Cleveland, or to show a lack of appreciation for that gallant band of clergymen and citizens who have rallied around Harry C. Smith. As brothers facing a common danger we deem it our duty to point out just what a colorful and powerful body the colored citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, but to all the Negroes of this country. Burton elected may or of Cleveland will dictate the personnel of the delegation from northern Ohio to the next national convention. This of course means strength for Mr. Taft, who, if anything, outdid Roosevelt in his denunciation of the Negro soldiers and who stands for the national policy of laissez-faire with reference to all the abominable oppressions under which our people suffer. Burton further means that the first concrete and effective move towards the elimination of Senator Foraker shall have been made. The Taftites all over Ohio will gain courage and a rush will be made to get in the Taft band wagon. The moral effect will be to disharten the supporters of the one man who was brave or foolish enough to defend a helpless people whose skins were black. In a word, Burton's election means the undoing and unseating of Foraker. And the national arena, who will there be in the councils of this mighty nation to champion the cause of the wronged and oppressed black man, ungrateful though he may be? --- "BUCKEYES" Letters from Many Ohio Towns Sent by OUR OWN WRITERS Personal, Social, Lodge, Church, Literary and Other Notes of Interest.

THE BURTON And Johnson Fight for the Mayorality CF CLEVELAND, O., As Viewed by Loyal Race Publications—"Grafters, Demagogues, Trusties," Etc. (From The Littleton, N. C., True Retormer.) After reading in our exchanges the conduct of the Cleveland (Ohio) Journal, we desire to pen the following: It has been our hope that the days of disgraceful politics had passed, especially in the great state of Ohio, but if the news regarding the Cleveland Journal is true, there are still some Negro political demagogues of this "Negro" editor of the Journal has not been able to resist the temptations and political poneage of Burton and the administration forces, we are glad to know that the honest and brilliant Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, has. Editor Smith is a star in the banner of the race that will retain its brilliance when ever increasing laurels, when the hour when we are true to the best interest of the race should listen to him and discard the pleadings of the grafters, the political demagogues and traitors of the race. Editor Smith has shown himself true to the race by leading the forces against Burton. He who seeks to destroy the Negro friend the race, Negro friend the race, the race's greatest adversary, To the colored voters of Cleveland, Ohio: We glory in the news that you are steadfast in the spirit of independence. We of the south whose hands are tied, are looking to you men with untied hands to strike a blow in defense of the race. If Burton is the tool of the administration to down the Negro race, Negro friend the race, Joseph B. Foraker, allow no party preferences to stand in the way of the best interest of the race, defeat Burton if you have to do so by voting for honest Tom Johnson, though a democrat. It is far more manly to support an out and out political enemy than to make successful a pretended or deceived attempt to win the voters of the men better understand the political fight we are writing about, we publish below a clipping from one of our exchanges: Ohio Colored Voters Will "Remember Brownsville." Urged on by the desperation of the political managers of the Burton campaign in Cleveland, Ohio, the Cleveland Journal, a colored newspaper published for revenue only, is making a disgraceful spectacle of itself in its attacks upon a man who has the strength to resist the temptations of the charismatic man in the way. Hon. Harry C. Smith, who is marshaling the Negro vote against the well organized and well financed phalanx of the traitorous administration is set upon by the Negro "trusties," who are hired to intimidate colored men who would escape from political peonage and muster their forces against the enemies of manhood equality. Editor Smith, having the welfare of his fellowmen unmindful of his own interest. The Cleveland Journal is unable to appreciate the courage that is manifest in the attitude of Editor Smith, and charges him with ingratitude towards his friends. Because Editor Smith would not believe that when he accused him of favoring the enemy thereby sold himself to him, the Cleveland Journal, surprised and chagrined, throws itself in the way of The Gazette, and endeavors to smother the call of liberty. But they may as well try to change the direction of the whirlwind as to stay the mighty avalanche of votes that are destined to teach President Roosevelt and other politicians that they cannot insult the Negro in any manner.

Fried Smith: I congratulate you and the firm on your success, the firm and just stand you have taken against Mr. Burton, the outspoken enemy of our friend, J. B. Foraker. The splendid fight of Senator Foraker in behalf of a wronged people should, and I believe will, inspire every loyal Negro in Cleveland to join you in the fight against Mr. Burton. Was my privilege to lead the fight in Dayton, O., a few weeks ago in which we defeated the enemies of Senator Foraker. We shall look for a like victory from the great and splendid colored vote.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1994 to 1998 1996 to 1998 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker We "REMEMBERED . BROWNS-VILLE!" Candidate Burton was defeated by a plurality of 9,313. We're happy. O! so supremely happy. Our fight was right and just—and triumphant! Thank the Lord! The entire republican ticket with the exception of one candidate went down to defeat on Tuesday. Mercy! what a Waterloo in the face of all the "boodle" spent in debauching voters. Even the lying yell of "democrat" by the paid agents of the Burton street car combine did not have any effect upon the fifteen hundred loyal Foraker Afro-American republican voters who opposed Candidate Burton. BRAVO! Blacklist John P. Green & Sons, George A. Meyers, Henry T. Eubanks, Willie Clifford and the other Negro "lesserlights" who forsock Senator Foraker in the time of his direst need here in Cleveland, and ran off after the Roosevelt-Taft-Burton political God. Remember them, particularly next year and the year following. With the same issue of this date, the Boston (Mass.) Guardian, W. Monroe Trott, editor, enters its seventh year. We wish it very many more birthdays and even greater success in every way. It is one of our best race newspapers and advocates, and like the others, deserving, ought to be far better treated in the matter of patronage by our people the country over, particularly those who style themselves "intelligent." Only seven out of thirty-two councilmen were elected by local republicans on Tuesday. The democratic candidates for councilmen-at-large were all elected. Tom Fleming received the least votes of the republican" candidates and was the worst beaten—just as we predicted. Dan Pfahl's plurality over him was the largest, 8,790. Fleming ought never to have been nominated, and would not have been if our people's wishes and requests had been paid any attention whatever, by Candidate Burton and "Would-be-Boss" Bill Crawford. All honor to those brave, loyal and manly Christian leaders, Rev. Dr. H. C. Balley, Rev. Dr. B. J. Prince and all of our local ministry who stood with them like Spartans against Burton, Roosevelt and Taft's candidate for mayor, throughout the recent weeks of "boodle," all kinds of pressure, abuse and insults. They adhered, in spite of it all, to the racial principle involved in the combine fight against Senator Foraker, which centered in the recent local political contest, and are entitled to the warmest thanks and greatest praise of a loyal and grateful people the country over. Now let Senator Foraker lead in the reorganization of the republican party in the state of Ohio. The stinging defeats of Tuesday, make such action necessary. We must shake off the baneful Roosevelt-Taft influence or the party will go from bad to worse, winding up with a democratic state victory in 1908, "presidential" year. The loyal "black troops" fought nobly on Tuesday. More power to them. Persuasion, promises, threats, abuse and "boodle" were all used in vain to drive them "in line" for Candidate Burton. They were and are grateful to our great and good friend, Senator Foraker, and showed it in the proper way. We pity, and in some few cases have only contempt for, the loud-mouthed alleged Foraker Afro-Americans of a few months ago who were so easily proselytized into the ranks of the Burton supporters. How --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1907. can they expect persons to ever again have confidence in them? THE OHIO SITUATION The municipal election results throughout Ohio on Tuesday were unmistakably anti-Taft as well as anti-Roosevelt, and ought to encourage an immediate reorganization of the republican party of this state, if for no other reason than to rid it of what has proven to be an extremely benevolful influence—that exercised from the White House through the Taft forces of the state. It undoubtedly was the direct cause of the loss of mayoralty contests, to the republicans of Cleveland, Toledo, Springfield, Dayton and very many other cities of the state. The one exception to this is noted at Columbus, where its strenuous opposition to the republican candidate was a factor in his trumpthum election. One Wolf, President Roosevelt's central Ohio "refereer," owner of the Columbus, Ohio, State Journal and Columbus Dispatch, fourth auditor of the treasury, Ralph W. Tyler's former employer and political sponsor, did everything in his power to defeat Mayor-elect Bond. The only city in Ohio where the miserable Taft influence did not make trouble of one kind or another was Cincinnati, and only the presence and active efforts of both Senator Foraker and George B. Cox prevented the defeat of the republican candidate for mayor there. BROWNSVILLE REMEMBERED! Nearly fifteen hundred loyal and many Afro-American voters of Cleveland did their duty on Tuesday and were material factors in the stingings and righteous defeat of Congressman Burton, President Roosevelt's republican candidate for mayor of Cleveland. They have covered themselves with glory, and are an honor and credit to the race they have so signally moved. More power to them and more rapid increase to their kind. The Gazette's pleading for weeks past was not in vain. Therefore the result, as far as Burton is concerned, makes us very, very happy indeed. And, then, too, the outlook for Senator Foraker's triumphant return to the United States senate is so very much better, and the political atmosphere here in Ohio correspondingly clearer, that we feel that the senator's re-election is NOW practically assured. Last Tuesday's defeat of Burton is indeed a grand victory, and a great rebuke to President Brownville Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Taft, who publicly urged the Burton candidacy on the long suffering republicans of Cleveland, who were, to say the least, deserving of better treatment at their hands. But the men who helped to defeat local republican tickets throughout Ohio two years ago and gloried in their "reform" act, have been repaid, and with a vengeance too, in Tuesday's stinging defeat of their candidate. THANK THE LORD! POLITE AND DESERVED SARCASM! The fact that Bishop Potter, who is attending the general convention of the American Episcopal church at Richmond, entertained a Negro at his dinner table Friday evening has convulsed the proud Virginia city. It happens that the offending Negro is Bishop Ferguson, of Africa. By the time the news spreads the whole south may be expected to rise in rebellion. It is not only that Bishop Potter reiterate that Bishop Ferguson at his table, where Mr. W. R. B. Ington, of Grace church, New York, were also present. That perhaps might be overlooked if it had been done in New York after proper precautions of secrecy. But Bishop Potter presumed to offer his hospitality to a Negro in a southern house, and Bishop Ferguson to dine in a southern house. They rode together through the streets of Richmond in Bishop Potter's carriage. This attempt to establish "social equality" in Richmond of all places is an assault on the most cherished of southern religions. This crime and enough to make the blood of the Tillisons boil and to start a tidal wave of furious oratory from Aransas Pass to the Potomac.—N. Y. World. Disgraces to the Uniform! Diagnoses to the Uniform. Washington, D.C.—There is trouble in the ranks of the Spanish-American war veterans. It is the fact that a few of the prejudiced white eras did not want to recognize their Afro-American comrades. The result of the disturbance was that Commander-in-Chief Walter S. Hale, of Boston, visited the city recently and took testimony in regard to the affair. The testimony will amount to 150 pages of closely typewritten matter. At a meeting of the Washington camps at Grand Army hall recently the memorial was held, the camp, clad in new uniforms of blue and white, and took seats on one side. Most of the white camps were seated on the other side and but few of them were in uniform. Miss Isabel Worrell Ball (white) made an address in which she stated that the Spanish-American war had wiped out Mason and Dixon's line and the color-line. Some few white brutes were low enough to hiss her remarks. Commander Hale called on Chaplain W. H. Coston, a member of the White Corps, to conclude the session with prayer. At this a number of the white brutes got up and left the hall. Commander Hale returned to Boston and will render his decision after he has carefully considered the evidence. Sought Life of Aged Peddler Columbus, O.-J. McAllister (white) an aged peddler of toilet articles, was rescued recently from a mob of angry Afro-Americans by the police and held pending an investigation. McAllister, in his rounds, called October 25 at Henry Pace's. The peddler showed his wares, so he said, to a girl who was alone in the house. When the mother came home the child charged that she had been assaulted. McAllister returned to the neighborhood later in search of an order book he had been accused of borsing of the child's story. In an instant McAllister was surrounded and badly beaten, and but for the father of the accuser probably would have been killed before the police arrived. "BUCKEYES" (Continued From First Page.)

Baltimore, Md.—Joe Gans, the lightweight champion, has offered to help George Dixon, the dethroned featherweight title holder. Dixon is now an object of charity in New York City. He has lost all of his craft and strength, and is not able to cope with a fourth-rater. He has had several benefits, but his money has been spent and he has been roaming around New York gaining a precarious existence. Gans will open a hotel in this city next week. It is to be called "The Gans Field" in honor of the Nevada city in which he defeated Nelson. Included in Gans's contributions for his guests is a big bar, Gans' Dixon's poverty, and he has written to friends in New York to find Dixon and send him to Baltimore to become head bartender of the hotel. African Bishop's View. Charleston, S. C.—Bishop S. D. Ferguson, the first and only Negro Bishop of the Episcopal church, who recently dined with Bishop Potter, of New York, in Richmond, Va., is in Charleston visiting relatives. To a reporter he used Bishop Potter's statement that another bishop strange in the dinner, "Ah, dearest," said the first time I have dined with Bishop Potter. We have been good friends for many years, dating from the time that he with four other bishops laid solemn hands on me in the solemn rite of consecration at Grace church twenty years ago. Bishop Ferguson lived in England on November 16 and proceeded his bishopric at Monrovia, West Liberia. He is a native of Charleston. If True, Lord Should "Get Busy!" Bridgeport, Conn.—A sensational divorce action, in which there are many parallels to the Hartje case in Pittsburg, has been instituted in the supreme court of Fairfield county by Henry J. Lloyd (white), a wealthy resident of Trumbull, six miles from this city, in which he accuses his wife of intimacy with their Afro-American coachman, Henry Cameron. Mrs. Lord was Augustina Emanuel, a South Carolina woman who on their marriage brought a considerable fortune to the one already owned by her husband. She is an exceedingly handsome woman and excels in horsemanship. The Outcome. The Negro citizens throughout await with abated breath to see the outcome of the Cleveland election.

Mitchell stabbed the sergeant and then walked to the police headquarter nearby and surrounded White men insist on "loving" some of our women, it seems, even if the latter are married.

THE ELECTIONS IN CITIES OF OHIO TOM JOHNSON IS RE-ELECTED MAYOR OF CLEVELAND. WHITLOCK WINS IN TOLEDO.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6—The state crop report for November 1, issued by the state board of agriculture Tuesday, indicates a short wheat crop for the harvest of 1808 in Ohio, even though the conditions for the growth of the crop should be unusually good. Our Fashion Letter AVISITING GOWN GRACEFUL EMPIRE GOWN A PRETTY NEW DESIGN Fashion absolutely defies economy even in matters sartorial, and just as we have grown used to short sleeves and have had our coats cut off to the elbow, the fickle jade declares that we shall revert once more to long sleeves. Many a dinner-dress, for instance, with a low decolletage shows the sleeve worn over the wrist. Taking it all round, especially in tailor-made, I consider the long sleeve is a boon to the generality of womankind. To begin with, it is practical, and nothing was more incongruous for ordinary everyday use than a sleeve which left exposed half a bare arm! When a blue serge frock was finished just above the elbow and the glove was not long enough, it did not seem to me to savor of good style, to say the least of it, for traveling, or indeed for any occasion on which we wear the tailor-made. Among the definite fashions for the fall and winter season are longer sleeves and shorter skirts, with coats fending towards greater length. In graceful garments, and especially in furs, the kimono sleeve is giving place to what is known as the "bat" sleeve, consisting of a wing-like drapery which in reality is not a sleeve at all but forms a cope effect. At the same time, the kimono has by no means died out, but is produced in other forms and is relegated to the superior fabrics rather than to the cheaper ones. I must say I should like to hedge a little in the matter of sleeves. Although a great many long, tight, mitten sleeves will be worn there are some people they do not suit, and these will try to remain faithful to the puffs. But the puff cannot be said to be a future vogue. The Empire puff is seldom seen, but rather popular is a little plain, tight sleeve consisting of open-work lace and trellis-work of jet or embroidery. Further picturesqueness is attained by wing-like draperies at the top of the arm weighted by a fringe—for, by the way, fringes of every kind are a feature which many dressmakers will try to revive. There is some sense in the fringe, and tunic, polonaise, and princess effects are infinitely improved when weighted with heavy silk or chenille fringes. Though there is no very startling change to chronicle in the general fashioning of furs this season, there are any number of distinctive details which will proclaim the wearer of the really up-to-date coat or wrap. The kimono continues to exercise on furs the all-powerful influence which it first displayed on clothes and satins, and it certainly makes for grace of outline, as well as comfort, and as a carriage or theater wrap finds practically no rival. Its wide sleeves also figure on the sacque coatées which are to be very much worn, though, once again, fashion has been most thoughtful of "It is astonishing what faith the old-school farmer used to put in his almanac," said a farmer of the new school, a graduate of an agricultural college. "My father was an old-school farmer, and June he would consult his almanac to see if we were going to have a clear Christmas. What though the almanac usually went back on him? Sometimes its predictions were true, and one accurate prophecy counterbalanced. in my father's mind, 50 miscues. "Once I crossed the ocean with the old man. We sat at the captain's table, and the first night out my father, laying down his spoon, said anxiously: "Captain, hey ye got an almanac on board? "No, the captain answered. "The old man frowned and shook his head. "Then, by gosh, he said, 'well just hev to take the weather as she comes.'" You are a man, remember, not a hen.—Epictetus. her followers' varying figures and requirements, and so includes in her list for the season a smartly simple and short basqued coat, which fits closely at the back and has straight, double-breasted fronts and long sleeves. And now a word about the dresses displayed in our illustrations. The tailor-made shown in our larger picture is made of reseda green cloth, and is trimmed with braid in a darker shade, tiny brass buttons being used most effectively as a final trimming. The blouse is of coarse white lace, while the hat is of white crinoline with dark green and white striped ribbon. The modified Empire style will still be very much in evidence in evening gowns, and I have seen some charmingly pretty bodices with just that rounded fullness of effect which is so much desired by the fair wearer. One new model, in white Oriental satin, is gathered below a little chemisette of chiffon and has all its soft folds encircled by crossed bands of paleest green satin, set with clusters and trails of wee pink chiffon roses and green silken leaves, a border of the embroidered flowers being the only trimming for the plain, gracefully hanging skirt. The design shown is simple and yet beautiful. The waistband can be either in souple satin or silver and pink tissue, the ends crossed in front and fastening with tiny flower-like rosettes. This waistband can be lowered to the waist-line in front if one chooses and still keep the upward Empire line at the back. The hat pictured for you this week is strikingly smart, and is of a fine quality of felt with a mushroom brim raised on a bandaue, and its attractiveness is enhanced by the fact that the crown is a very becoming large shape trimmed with full bows of silk glace. The coat and skirt costum displayed in our single column illustration shows an effective style for those who cannot wear those very fashionable long coats because of lack of stature. Fashion is delightfully accommodating this season, and everyone's figure can be suited if a little discretion is used. The striped material will also tend to give you the effect of an extra inch or so, and as to colors, purple or green and black or dark blue and brown would be both smart and serviceable, the color of the stripe being repeated in the velvet of collar and cuffs. Horse as Executioner A farmer named Courtois, whose engagement was broken off recently, hanged himself from his horse's neck. He was working the plow, and he tied the reins of one of the horses round his neck. The horse, tossing his head, broke his master's neck—Paris Dispatch in London Express. The first thought of almost every wage earner, overtaken by his perplexity, is that somehow his income must be increased to meet the enhanced cost of living. But after employees have been painfully convinced, and after successive ranks of workers, in all callings, have been granted an increase of pay computed to offset the general increased level in the prices of the necessaries of life, it is just as like as not that the old problem still remains to be faced. For when all employers have to pay high wages, they necessarily, in most cases advance the price of product or service, so that the increased wage buys no more than the old one. How the Rattles Are Worn The rattles lie edgewise. It is evident that they must do so, inasmuch as they are but continuations of the backbone. The snake carries the rattles on the ground except when he raises them to sound his warning. This will be evidenced by the fact that in every snake of any size that is killed the rattles are worn through on the under side.—Forest and Stream Notice to Subscribers. — Subscribers not receiving The Gazette regularly should notify us at once.

The race meeting at Wooddiff hall last Saturday evening was a grand success, in spite of the extremely inclement weather. Regardless of the down-pour of cold rain, the hall was filled with an intelligent and enthusiastic audience of voters and about fifteen or twenty ladies. From 7:45 until 8:30 p. m. the Carroll Mandolin club furnished excellent music, and was frequently enceded. The editor of Brown's presidential officer, and he in turn introduced in a few chosen remarks Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey as the first speaker of the evening. For nearly an hour those present listened to one of the strongest and very best arguments delivered to an audience of our people of this city in a long time. As point after point was scored by the eloquent pastor of Antioch church, the audience thundered its applause for the endorsement, did unanimous support in favor of opposing on election day Candidates Burton and Hirstum. Before introducing the next speaker and after the Mandolin club had rendered a very pretty selection, Chairman Brown explained to the audience why he was not an independent republican candidate for the council in the Twelfth ward, and showed how he had been taken advantage of by John W. Wilson, his petty friend, as explained last week of the issue of The Gazette. This rephensible action was for the purpose of promoting the candidacy of A. J. Hirstum, republican candidate for the council in the same ward. Mr. Brown not only announced his intention to scratch Burton's name from the republican ticket, but also that of Hirstum, because he believed both of them in the local offices they sought. He also expressed interest of the race, as well as that of the masses of poor people of this community. The third and last speaker of the evening was the editor of The Gazette, who for more than an hour held the undivided and enthusiastic attention of the large audience, making an appeal from a race viewpoint such as those present will not forget for many years to come. He disliked and frankly Candidates toward our people, their courses in congress and in the Cleveland council, respectively, from the Afro-American's viewpoint, and showed how it was simply impossible for an intelligent and loyal member of the race to support either of the persons mentioned upon election day—Tuesday. Throughout his address he was frequently interrupted with spontaneous applause, which minated in the audience as he rapidly as possible at the close of the meeting. It was clear that practically every voter in the hall Saturday evening was determined to so cast their THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1907. vote on election day as to help bring about the defeat of Burton because he is opposed to the re-election of Senator Foraker to the U. S. senate and as mayor of the city of Cleveland, would do everything in his (Burton's) power to help President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft eliminate from public life our only friend in congress. Those who were meeting had been warned to be on the defensive for certain individuals who had been encouraged to attend for the purpose of disturbing it. However, practically the only evidence of anything of this kind was the silly attempt of John Fulton, noticeable and heard by a number in the audience, which was nipped in the bud by his prompt and inglorious speech to the police officer. The meeting was brought a close at 10:30, standard, and voted one of the grandest successes ever had by our voters in this city. A VOYAGE ABOVE THE CLOUDS. Two Aeronauts Cover a Distance of 140 Miles—One Made His 1,100th Ascension. Springfield, Vermont.—The balloon containing Charles, Charles Glidden, of Loyola, and Leo Stevens, of New York, which descended from Pittfield, Mass, at 10:45 Tuesday morning landed in North Springfield at 2:18 in the afternoon. The distance covered was about 140 miles. The landing was accomplished safely in a field, the descent being so easy and gradual that Mr. Glidden declared an egg would not have been broken by the jar when the basket hit the ground. The voyagers were enthusiastic over the storm, which they said that a storm which they ran into just after they had crossed the Massachusetts line near Readsboro, VT, caused them some inconvenience. To get out of the storm Mr. Stevens, the pilot of the balloon, allowed it to go above the clouds until it reached an elevation of 5,500 feet. During this temperature were very sudden, the air becoming colder with a rapidity which surprised even Mr. Stevens, who yesterday made his 1,100th ascension. As We Saw it and Understood it, We Did Our Duty. The whole world is in a state of revolution. It is pushing forward to a goal. We, too, as a race, must have new ideas; new visions in the religious, political and industrial world. Party names and lines hold not the thinking and intelligent voters as of today, but the things of the hour. Our ministers should be in the van of all these great movements. He is not a bric-a-brac—something of antiquarian days. The mothe; of all virtues (thankfulness) has been expressed by many of our ministers.

Another factor in the decision is the relatively high price of wheat, which has operated to raise the cost of flour to a point where buyers are waiting in the hope of saving money. Cortelyou Will Help Washington, D. C.—Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, reached here Monday with a delegation of bankers from St. Paul and Minneapolis and had an audience with President Roosevelt. Secretary Cortelyou said measures for the relief of the grain men of the northwest were talked of and it was announced that the secretary had agreed to extend help, and to do everything possible to expedite the movement of grain. $300,000 Fire Loss.

Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-IND is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 25 cents, one coke of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Staen, San Antonio, Tex. writes "During 1901 I suffered form nasal catarrh, which various other remedies fail to relieve. "Nix bottles of Peruna, which I took, entirely entire me, the catarrh disappearing and never returning. I therefore cleverly recommend Peruna to all similarly afflicted." Mrs. Ellen Gail, 414 4th street, Green Bay, Wis., writes: "I have often heard Peruna praised and it is more widely known here than any other medicine, but I never knew what a splendid medicine it really was. I had never heard of a bad cold which settled all over me. "The doctor wanted to prescribe, but I told him I was going to try Peruna and sent for a bottle and tried it. I felt much better the next morning and with it I got not a trace of any lameness or any cough. "I consider it the finest cough remedy." PERUNA TABLETS:—Some people prefer to take tablets, rather than to take medicine and with it. Such people can obtain Peruna tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredients of Peruna. The Bright Firstborn. They were discussing the law of entail—the English law bequeathing the bulk of the family property to the eldest son. "There is 50 per cent, of logic in that law," said a physician, "and if the family property went to the firstborn, whether son or daughter, the law would contain 100 per cent, of logic. For the first born child is practically always the 'best—best in brain, in build, in beauty, in everything. "Why is this so? It is because married people love one another more profoundly at the beginning than afterward; for love, like all things, grows old, grows weak, often dies. "Mrs. Craig—John Oliver Hobbes—was a first born child. So was Marie Coreil. So was Richard Mansfield. So were Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Kitchener, Max Muller, Henry Irving, George Meredith. "Look back into the past, and we see again the prominence of the first born, among them Mohammed, Confucius, Raphael, Milton, Dante, Goethe, Byron, Shelly and Heine." She Did Not Fear Death An old lady on her seventy-third birthday once said, "I do not mind getting old, and I do not fear death, but I live in constant fear of paralysis." "For some time I have been wanting to tell you of the great good your wonderful Sloan's Liniment is doing here," writes Mr. James F. Abernethy, of Rutherford College, N. C. "In fact, all your remedies are doing noble work, but your Liniment beats all. In my eight years' experience with medicine I find none to go ahead of it, having tried it in very many cases. I know of one young man, a brick-mason, who suffered from a partial, yes, almost complete, paralysis of one arm. I got him to use your Liniment, and now he can do as much work as ever, and he sings your praise every day. I get all to use it I possibly can and know there is great virtue in it. I have helped the sale of your noble remedies about here greatly, and expect to cause many more to buy them, as I know they can't be beat." Preparation. "I suppose you will be glad when congress assembles again." "Not exactly glad," answered the statesman. "But, of course, we must expect to spend some time in getting material for new books and lectures.

REPUBLICANS WIN BY BIG MAJORITIES IN PENNSYLVANIA, MASSACHUSETTS AND NEBRASKA. Republican Candidate for Governor of New Jersey Won by 7,000—Democrats Defeated Fusionists in New York City. PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—John O. Sheatz, of Philadelphia, republican, was elected state treasurer over John G. Harman, of Columbia county, demesylvania by 175 votes; election in Pennsylvania by 175 votes; unanimity was the only state office voted for and a light vote was polled in nearly every county. The judicial contests in Luzerne, Northampton and the Schuylkill brought out a large vote in those counties. The vote was little interest in the contests in other counties which elected judges. NEW YORK New York. Nov. 6.—Sufficiently complete returns to make certain the ultimate results show that republican and Independence league fusion in New York county was defeated Tuesday by a straight democratic ticket; that the Independence league ticket for associate justice of the court of appeals was overwhelmingly beaten by the titleholder of publicans and democrats and that there will be slight change in the makeup of the state assembly. MASSACHUSETTS Boston, Nov. 7.—Politicians throughout the state were much interested Wednesday in examining the returns from the election and considering their bearing on next year's contest. The state Democratic regime maintained its place as the political leader of the so-called anti-merger party, by polling a trifle over 3 per cent of the total vote, also will be in the race next year to hold a convention and to place candidates on the official ballot. The plurality by which Gov. Gwilam Weld won the 2013.351 is the largest given the successful candidate for governor since 1898. VIRGINIA Richmond, Va., Nov. 6. —The election in Virginia was only for candidates to both branches of the legislature. The democrats will control both home and the usual majorities. In the Election of 2012 (district C. C. Carlin, of Alexandria (dem.) was elected to succeed Congressman J. F. Rixey by an overwhelming majority. NEW JERSEY Trenton, N. J., Nov. 7.—Frank S. Katzenbach, jr., democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, last night conceded the election of John Franklin Fort, his republican opponent. The latest figures give the state to Judge Fort by about 7,000. This change was brought about by the reduced democratic majority in Hudson and Tuskegee. Tuesday night, he nounced that Katzenbach had carried Hudson county by about 15,000. The revised figures as semi-officially computed give Katzenbach only 6,900. KENTUCKY Louisville, Ky., Nov. 6.—Practically complete returns from six counties exclusive of Louisville and Jefferson county, give Wilson, rep., a plurality of 1,600 over Hager, dem., for governor. This is a republican gain of 1,600 counties. Later reelection show that Augustus E. Willson, republican candidate for governor, and the entire republican state ticket have been elected. RHODE ISLAND Providence, R. I., district 6—With 37 of the 157 voting districts in the state to be heard from, Gov. James K. Higgins, the democratic candidate for re-election, and the opponent, Lieut. Gov. Jackson, by less than 1,000 votes. There are three cities and two large towns to be heard from, and as they are known to be the most likely to be thought that the present governor will be-elected by a plurality of about 1,700. MARYLAND Baltimore, Nov. 7. -Complete returns from this city show that it was carried by Austin L. Crothers, the democrats candidate for governor, by plurality 34%. Returns from the counties continue to strangle in, but at least a third of them were still missing last night. From those at hand, however, it is certain that the democrats will easily win, and that Crothers is elected governor. UTAH Salt Lake City, Nov. 6.—Municipal candidates of the American (anti-Moron party) probably will have the largest plurality ever given in this city. Bransford for mayor will have 7,000 to 10,000 plurality over Plummer, rep., and Morris, dem., whose strength is evenly divided. NEBRASKA Omaha, Nov. 6.—That M. B. *R. Beese* republican, has been elected justice of the supreme court by a majority of 12, 000 votes is the indication from returns made unusually late because of wire trouble. Missing Whalers are Safe San Francisco, Cal. — The five whaling vessels of the Pacific coast fleet which were thought to have been caught in the Arctic ice floes and for the which grave fears entertained, are both safe and should arrive here shortly.

The Sexton's Orders The late Bishop Seymour of Illinois was remarkable for the power and beauty of his sermons. A Springfield man said to him the other day: "At the eastern celebration in one of our churches Bishop Seymour and a half-dozen other divines were present. "One of these divines, a stern, stately old fellow with white hair, told Bishop Seymour in my hearing that whenever any one went to sleep in his church the sexton had orders to wake the man up. "Bishop Seymour smiled. "Wouldn't it be better, he said, 'when any one goes to sleep under your preaching for the sexton to have orders to come and wake you up?' Such a Bluff. "Congressman Nervey's outside," said the usher, "and he wants yer to pass him in." "Tell him," replied the manager of the prize fight, "that we can't pass nobody but newspaper men." "I did and he says he's sportin' editor of de Congressional Record."—Philadelphia Press. Color Blindness Color blindness is more prevalent among raven than women. BEST EVER WRITTEN PRESCRIPTION WHICH ANYONE CAN EASILY MIX. Said to Promptly Overcome Kidney and Bladder Afflictions—Shake Simple Ingredients Well in Bottle. Mix the following by shaking well in a mix, and take in teaspoonful doses after meals and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless ingredients can be obtained at nominal cost from any druggist even in the smaller towns. The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Bladder weakness and Urinary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. Those who have tried this say it positively overcomes pain in the back, clears the urine of sediment and regulates urination, especially at night, curing even the worst forms of bladder weakness. Every man or woman who feels that the kidneys are not strong or acting in a healthy manner should mix this prescription at home and give it a trial, as it is said to do wonders for many persons. The Scranton (Pa.) Times was first to print this remarkable prescription, in the office, of 1906, since when all the leading doctors of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other cities have made many announcements of it to their readers. WILD TRIBE OF POETS. Picturesque People That Are Found in the Philippines. Among the wild tribes to be found in the Philippines are the Bogobos, the most picturesque people in the tropics. Their origin is unknown, and all sorts of opinions have been expressed concerning them. One tale told of them is that their first ancestors were all poets and musicians, and that the dislike for the practical which is always noticeable among them has come down through the generations. Those that have taught among the Bogobos say that given a sorg or a poem to learn and they will study and dream over it for hours, but give the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic and he immediately becomes ill and wants to go home. Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago university woman, who is collecting everything peculiar to the Bogobo. It has been found that the beadwork done by them is quite like that of the American Indian, but there is no other likeness in the races beyond that. Mansfield's Rebuke A group of theatrical men were talking in New York about the late Richard Mansfield. "Mr. Mansfield," said one, was a delightful humorist, a splendid raconteur in society, but at the same time he had a certain proper and becoming sense of his own dignity, and it never paid to be unduly familiar with him. "He was, as we all know, rather bald. He resented, from barbers, or friends, any allusion to his baldness. "Well, one night at a party, a man came up behind this great artist, staggered him with a violent slap on the back, and exclaimed in a loud, jovial, familiar voice: "Hello, Dick. How are you? Every time I see you, you get balder and balder." Mansfield drew himself up. He sneered at the other. "Hello," he said. 'I don't know who you are, but every time I see you get ruder and ruder.'" Taken At His Word. Master Walter, aged 5, had eaten the soft portions of his toast at breakfast, and plied the crust on his plate. "When I was a little boy," remarked his father, who sat opposite him. "I always ate the crusts of my toast." "Did you like them?" inquired his offspring, cheerfully. "Yes," replied the parent. "You may have these," said Master Walter, pushing his plate across the table.—Harpers' Weekly. HER "BEST FRIEND." A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies for it stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug—caffeine—which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if its use is persisted in. "I had heart palpation and nervousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not," writes a Wis. lady. "On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee and it so satisfied me that I did not care for coffee after a few days' trial of Postum. "As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it a year now, and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. "My children are very fond of Postum and it agrees with them. My sister liked it when she drank it at my house, but not when she made it at her own home. Now she has learned to make it right, boil it according to directions, and has become very fond of it. You may use my name if you wish, as I am not ashamed of praising my best friend—Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Welville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason" GEORGE KIOPT HIM BUSY. Matrimonial Engagements Seemed Always in Order. A well-known Virginia clergyman, onetime president of William and Mary college, was married three times and on each occasion the ceremony was performed by his brother, an even more renowned bishop. When the first marriage took place, the bishop had to refuse a tempting invitation from an old friend because—so the letter ran—"I am going up to Williamsburg on that date to marry my brother George." The same friend happened to be on the train with him, years afterward, when he was traveling to the second ceremony. "I am going to marry my brother George," the bishop explained, benignly, after the business of greeting was over. Again many years passed, and the same journey was taken once more for the same purpose. By a strange co-incidence, the identical friend ran into the bishop as they hurried through the depot to their respective trains. "Where going bishop?" the former sang out as they grasped hands and dashed by each other. "I am going where I am always going," the answer came back, ponderously, "to marry my brother George!"—Harper's Weekly. Model for Rest of the Force. While Oil City cannot, perhaps, boast of being a strictly cold-water town, she can, we believe, lay claim to having among her residents the champion temperance man of the state, if not of the entire country. Not only has he never drank any kind of spiritous or malt liquors, but he has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup or any kind of milk to pass his lips since he was a child. He is a colored man, was born in slavery, and because his father frequently drank more whisky than was good for him, he resolved when a boy to never drink anything but water. And he has reliously kept the resolution. He is a member of the Oil City police force, and his name is Major Franklin—Oil City (Pa.) Blizzard. What He Learned.

For two days I could not move and after that I had backache and dizzy spells all the time. My ankles swelled and I ran down, dreadfully. I was nervous and had awful headaches. I wonder that any medicine could do what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me. They cured me four years ago and I have been well ever since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster Nilburn.

A gentleman of the most cultivated musical tastes, wishing to change his residence, advertised for rooms in a private family "fond of music." The next mail brought him the following reply: "Dear Sir; I think we could accommodate you with rooms, and as for music one of my daughters plays the parlor organ and gitar; another one plays the accordion and banjo; I play the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays the harmonica and my son the flute. We all sing and if you are good at tenner singing you would fit right in when we get to singing gospel hims evenings, for none of us sings tennor. Or if you plays the base vial we have one right here in the house. If you want music as well as rooms and board we could accommodate you and there would be no extra charge for it. Linpincott's. FAMILY'S SKIN TROUBLES Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affections Afflict Different Members, "My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for failing hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than anything else.
