TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 19. Winter Jackets Winter Jackets THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY These designs are suitable for making up in cloth that may be worn with any skirt; for instance, the first would look well in brown cloth; it is especially good for winter wear, as being double-breasted, it is warm; the collar is faced with velvet, so are the turned-up cuffs. Hat of brown stretched satin, trimmed with satin and wings. Materials required for the jacket: two and a half yards 52 inches wide, five yards lining silk, half yard velvet. The jacket is trimmed with satin. It is very smartly cut, the front being quite short, and fastened on the bust; it is edged with a fold of green and drab finely checked silk. The three-quarter sleeves have deep turn-up cuffs bound with silk. Drab felt hat trimmed with velvet and wings. Materials required for jacket: Three yards 50 inches wide, five and a half yards lining silk, half yard checked silk. AN UNION DESERVES THE WAR These designs are suitable for make any skirt; for instance, the first would likely good for winter wear, as being doubled with velvet, so are the turned-up trimmed with satin and wings. Materials required for the jacket: five yards lining silk, half yard velvet. The second is in drab face cloth. quite short, and fastened on the bust; drab finely checked silk. The three-qubound with silk. Drab felt hat trimmed. Materials required for jacket: The half yards lining silk, half yard checke THE ONE-PIECE GOWN. Fashionable and Becoming, It Is Popular This Winter. Each week gives added popularity to the one-piece frock. It really is cut in two pieces, but that's a mere detail. The gown is the thing this winter. A coat suit is all very well for a workaday world or busy hours, but when one is in the house or going anywhere where friends are gathered together, the one-piece frock is the correct costume. Over it can be dropped a long coat of cloth, satin or fur, which is discarded at the house. These gowns are made of such soft cloth that one of them was run through a bracelet as a test. It was a dull pink messaline, with a full, floppy, untrimmed skirt and a directoire jumper. Others are made of navy blue, black, catawba and wistaria satin and satin cloth. There is no lining, but a great many buttons. In some of them a shallow gulmp with long sleeves is attached but the majority are made up without gulmpes. While they vary in trimming, the general lines are the same; straight, high-waisted skirt, narrow short-waisted blouse, small square sleeves and shallow round neck. These gowns are so soft and pliable that they can be put in a traveling bag without being mussed. There has never been so becoming and fashionable a costume which will take up so little space and have so little weight as this new one-piece frock. The idea is carried out in everyday indoor frocks made of soft woolens, summer cheviots, plaid cashmers. The skirts are cut short and wash gulps are worn under them. No belt is needed, as the high-waited skirt is cut into scallops or battlements and piped and stitched to the blouse. Alcohol for Threat. To obtain the luster of polished marble, which is so admired on throat and shoulders displayed by a decollete gown, do not use powder, as this will surely show. Instead, give the neck and shoulders a warm, almost hot, bath, and while the skin is in a moistened and fresh condition sponge the neck and shoulders with clear cologne water. The cologne will enter into the pores and will make the shoulders appear white and with the coveted luster. Alcohol will serve the same purpose, but the cologne is more refreshing and delicate. Correct Short bones II It is interesting to know that white corsets are longer, the bones in them are shorter. They go over a part of the hip, but do not run down to the end of the corset. These long bones were found disastrous, as they were constantly breaking or bending and pushing the corset into a curve below the waist. Now the bones stop short enough to prevent breakage, and the cottile is strapped and stitched and fitted to the figure for the rest of the length. Net Veils. The vells of Russian net are too be- coming for women to relinquish them in favor of a newer but less attractive weave, and so this popular veiling is included in the new importations. It comes in black, white and the staple colors, with a few of the newer shades. Black and white complexion - vells are worn as much as ever, the fine mesh and small dot being preferred to the coarser thread and large dot. THE GAZETTE Shell-Pink Glace Over Which Is Spot- ted Fillet Net. Spotted filet net worn over shell- pink glace would make this a pretty blouse; piece lace is used for the yoke, which is edged with galloon of delicate shades. Two tucks are made on each shoul- der, and are edged with fold of pink; the sleeves are arranged in tucks from the top to the elbow, each tuck being edged with a fold of silk; a band of galloon finishes the sleeves at the elbow. Material required: $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards net 42 inches wide, $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk, 2 yards galloon, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards piece lace. Exercise for Invalids. When one is coiffed to bed for a long time it is necessary to give the invalid some form of simple exercise. If cost is not an objection, this is best managed by a trained masseuse. She should come every other day or oftener, as the doctor advises. Deep massage will stir up all the organs and prevent sluggishness. Careful rubbing, alternating with gentle pinches to start circulation, is a good substitute for massage, with the advantage that it can be done by an amateur nurse. Care must be taken not to permit an invalid to overtire in her zeal for exercise. The best time to take it is two hours after eating. It must continue but a few minutes at a time and the vigorous movements of health should be forbidden. Blouses of Crepon. Women who are in mourning or who wear black from choice may find the most charming blouses in black crepon at really moderate prices, considering the excellent style and workmanship. Being of a crepy surface very little trimming is necessary. Often it will be only lace or fagoting. One pretty model seen recently had the long sleeves crossed with fagoting, which was effective on the crinkly material. The collar and short yoke was a combination of heavy lace and fagoting. Benzoin in Lotions. When adding benzoin to a cream or lotion it should be added drop by drop at first, and slowly always, or otherwise it is apt to curdle. When used in bath water this effect is not marked. Enough should be poured in to give the water a milk look. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in its Contention, as Usual — Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. For several weeks prior to the recent election we published the following: When you vote on election day in November do not forget to cross Gus Hirstius' name from forget list. As councilman from the Twelfth ward, he not only continues to refuse to cut a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so because coloured street from Cedar avenue and peen in their windows, but also with drew an ordinance which he introduced in the council about a year age (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through), at the request of the above mentioned prejudiced Cedar avenue residents. Last fall when he was re-elected to the council, Hirstius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but up to date has steadily refused to keep his promise. Remember him and scratch his name from his vote on election day in November. Hirstius is the Republican candidate for sheriff. Defeat him! The following is pertinent and self- explanatory and fully justifies our opposition to the election of Sheriff-elect Curtis, because the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1908. Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk, Dear Sire. Just before clearest counselman Hirschus said a statement of political meeting to the effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-fifth streets, a quarter of street, or in that vicinity, which he claimed, through passed by the council in July last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up ever since by Director Springborn or someone else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through, you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever it was, referred to, was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not cut through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your request, you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly. HARRY C. SMITH, Editor The Gazette Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette. Dear Sir; On July 9, 1906, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstius provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The improvement was not made for the reason of his reasons for not wanting it, I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In day of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about opposite Sked street. This improvement was never made or the reason that the money in jeopardy of the proposed place was the sale of bonds was for the opening of dead end streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councilmen for ward improvements, and I feel sure that the only reason the imminent opening was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstius listened to. Would suggest that you call up Mr. Springborn and get from him a confirmation of what I have gives to you as a rumor. Very truly yours, PETER WITT, City Clerk. Nov. 25, 1908 Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette—Dear Sir, Answering your request for the 24th inst., with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue, it would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of our council meetings. We represent representatives of our owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against its opening, and the result was that Mr. Hirstius finally agreed not to have it made, AND ASKED ME TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the building was heard. We have always made it a rule to act in cordance with the wishes of the councilman representing the ward in improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that MR. HRISTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAME FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. W J. W. SINGBORN, Director Board, of Public Service. JUST BY THE WAY. News Items Billed Down and Condensed.

McCosh, the well known physician of New York who was injured by being thrown from his carriage recently and later suffered an attack of pneumonia. His death is expected at any moment. Roy Van Housen, formerly a bookkeeper of the wrecked Peoples' National Bank of Franklinville, N. Y., was Wednesday sentenced by Judge Hazel in the United States district court at Buffalo, N. Y., to five years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., but execution of the sentence was suspended indefinitely. All four class postmasters in the states east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river were on Tuesday placed in the classified service by an executive order of the president. Hereafter all the appointees to fourth class postmasters in those states must undergo civil service examinations. The common council of Yonkers, N. Y., Wednesday formally revoked the franchises of the Yonkers Railroad Co. granted in 1899 and 1907 on the advice of counsel for the city. This calls for a forfeiture of the $50,000 bond of the company, but the document is missing. Several of the lines provided for in the franchise have never been built.

If the Republican party will take his advice it will do them some good, no doubt.

New York Campaign Liar Still Busy, Xenia, O.—In speaking of the vote cast at Mound Bayou, Miss., November 3, by Afro-American. The New York Age presumes too much when it says, that is a fair sample of how our people cast their ballots at the recent election throughout the country. To command respect and wield influence, a newspaper must be truthful and reliable. Guess work will do. Do it. The newspaper will outdo a lawyer when you have not the facts and figures to prove an assertion. In Xenia, O., where we had an opportunity to observe the Negro vote closely, we find the following to be true: In the Fourth ward, where there are 450 Afro-American voters, just 195 of these votes went into the Democratic columns. The average Democratic vote in this particular ward for the last 30 years has been a single Afro-American Democratic vote cast in the ward. There are only 13 white Democratic voters in the ward and five of them were shut out in precinct G, because they came to vote after the polls were closed. All Negroes are not sentimental slaves. Mound Bayou, Miss., and Xenia, O., are far apart, but both are in the same country. The New York Age will vote. J. M. SUMMERS Farewell Services at St. John's Farewell Services at St. John's.

An Editor's Congratulations Editor Gazette—Dear Shr: I want to congratulate you upon the bold, manly stand you have taken in defence of our race. We honestly did what we could against those who had deadly assaults, and only must be no let up in our contention—the battle must be pushed to the gates. It was the first time Negroes asserted themselves in that way. It will be easier the next time. Nerve up; don't give down. Your time. R. C. JUKINS, Editor "The Colored Alabaman." 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. The Gazette stands for a morally clean pulpit and press, and none other. We even insist that the smoking, dancing, luscious-lipped Sunday school superintendent be clean physically also. So there, now! as the ladies sometimes say. That Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee, lynching of a recent date in which there was attempted co-operation upon the part of a court, was as ridiculous and thoroughly illegal a proceeding as such an outrageous murder could possibly be, even though it is no new phase of mob violence. The mayor of Chicago has appointed 100 representative white citizens of that city to arrange for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, ignoring entirely the large Afro-American population of the "Windy City." This is enough to make the soul of the great emancipator cry out in audible protest. John G. Wilson (white), a wealthy old bachelor of Canton, Miss., died some months ago, leaving an estate valued at $25,000, to his multitalt housekeeper and their children. Brothers of the deceased contested the will in the Madison county, Mississippi, chancery court, and lost. The jury was out just five minutes. Good! The case will be appealed to the supreme court. The woman and children ought to, and doubtless will, win again. Occasionally "a ray of light" comes out of the south, even from the courts. Now come certain Georgia women (white) with the suggestion that a monument be erected to the memory of Wirz, the jailor of Andersonville prison, where more federal prisoners were beaten, starved, butchered and subjected to tortures, such as only the most barbarous of the uncivilized people in the history of the world ever resorted to, than in any other one-half dozen southern prisons during the war of the rebellion. If there is anything that ought to convince the north, and particularly all the old soldiers still alive, that the new south temper is no different from that of the old south, it is this suggestion, because it is a true indication of the real feeling existing generally among the native whites of that section of the country. It is even more virulent than the prejudice against all indications of equality upon the part of the Afro-American in the south. THE SLEEPING CARPENTER An Open Letter to Interstate Com Dec. 2, 1908. Messrs, Lane and Prouty. Interstate Commerce Commission ers, Washington, D. C. Dear St. In view of the long-time and unreasonable outcure upon the part of the public against "tips" to sleeping-car porters, and as a matter of fairness to them at least, it seems to me that your investigation of the Pullman company should include a careful looking into the matter of salaries paid its porters, and a statement to the public that will show that the porters receive less each month as pay from the company than is really necessary to cover their living expenses while away from home and in the service of the company, not taking into consideration the care and keeping of their families at home during their absence. From $18 to $24 a month is substantially what the great majority of sleeping-car porters receive, some even getting less, although running regularly. All sleeping-car companies pay their porters less than one-half that they should, depending upon the public to make the balance in "tips," in addition to paying for their berths, seats in chaircars, etc. This has been the case for many years and the public at least should be made acquainted with the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1908. fact in your support of the investigation of the Pullman company you are about to enter upon. The sleeping and chair-car conductors are about as necessary, as a rule, with an intelligent porter in service, as the fifth wheel to a wagon with four good ones, and yet this expensive company-luxury is paid from three to four and six times the amount paid each month to the hard-working porter who does about nine-tenths of all that is required of both conductor and porter in sleeping and chair-cars. There is much else interesting that you will find. I am sure, as the result of your investigation, if you care to do so, that will not only prove interesting and enlightening to the public at large, and possibly bring about a change or two, that will not only materially benefit the traveling public but also the poorly-paid and greatly-abused porter who is about as near a slave in the points of work-done and pay (?) received, as the Peons and convict-lease victims of the south. Yours respectfully, HARRY C. SMITH. ROOSEVELT, HARRIMAN, STAND- ARD OIL. The following editorial from the New York Sun, 'though published prior to the election, is as interesting and truthful today as it was then, and is worthy of reproduction at this time: "Who but Theodore Roosevelt would have sent for 'My dear Harriman' to raise money on the eve of an election, coupling with the invitation the stimulating assurance that 'a few weeks hence, before I write my message, I shall get you to come down to discuss certain government matters not connected with the campaign?' A Tammany mgrater taking his toll of suffering and shame could not have been more direct. "Who but Theodore Roosevelt would have directed two years later an investigation by the interstate commerce commission of the Union Pacific railway system, upon the receipt of information conveyed by Mr. James Schoolcraft Sherman that Mr. Harriman declined to be muted further for campaign contributions? "Who but Theodore Roosevelt could have detached from his cabinet the secretary who was officially most intimately connected with commerce and industry, and therefore with great corporations, and make him the chairman of the Republican national committee? "Who but Theodore Roosevelt would have sought, through his personal selection of such chairman, a contribution of $100,000 from the Standard Oil company to help re-elect him?" "Who but Theodore Roosevelt would for his own protection have written simultaneously a letter which directed Mr. Corteloy to return the Standard Oil contribution and then tacitly permit its retention and actual use in the campaign? "Who but Theodore Roosevelt, with the money of Mr. Harriman, the Standard Oil company, and the insurance companies actively in use for his re-election, could write a letter to his rival candidate for presidential honors so full of assumed indignation and righteous horror at a truthful accusation that his countrymen gladly accepted the false answer for the true charge and triumphantly carries the recipient and chief beneficiary of the corporation contributions to a great personal triumph as the very exemplar of moral probity and superior righteousness? "Who but Theodore Roosevelt could so steal 'the livery of the court of heaven' by clothing that which closely bordered on executive blackmail in a cloudy veil of smug hypocrisy? "Notwithstanding Mr. Roosevelt's special qualifications as a campaign collector we venture the prediction that the contributions which will follow his intervention will not fall as thickly as do the autumn leaves. "At least, the thinking portion of the American people know Mr. Roosevelt better than they did four years ago." Election Returns Are Now Correct. Columbus, O.—The state canvas-ing board on Wednesday went over the election returns for state officers and members of congress, as returned by the tabulators in the secretary of state's office, and certified to them as being correct. Thus it is important to certify the election, that Judson Harmon is elected governor, D. S. Creamer treasurer of state, while the remainder of the state ticket is Republican. A number of members-elect of the legislature have been sending in their certificates of election to the secretary of state accompanying them with $5. This was an unnecessary proceeding arising from a misapprehension of the law. In each instance the certificate and money have been returned. Mayor's Daughter Seeks Divorce. Cleveland, O.—Through City Solicitor Newton D. Baker, Mrs. Bessie Johnson Mariani filed a motion with the county clerk Wednesday asking for an immediate hearing of her suit for divorce. The grounds of the request for an early hearing allege that the case has been on the docket over six months and that Frederico Mariani, the husband, has made no answer to the application of his wife. The motion will be on hearing before Judge Ford Thursday morning. If allowed the case can be heard in ten days. Secrecy surrounded the filing of the motion, which was dated three days ago, although it was only filed Wednesday.

Ohio Soldier Dies. Alliance, O.-J. H. Sharer, commander for Ohio of the Grand Army of the Republic, died Wednes day at his residence here. He served throughout the civil war. "THE NEGRO VOTE IN OHIO." Taft lost 30,000 Ohio Afro-American votes at the recent election and the result shows it. Roosevelt's plurality of 255,421 four years ago was out to about one-fifth of that number (for Taft), and the Ohio Negro was one of the most important factors in bringing about this excellent showing. Ten, Harris, the defeated Ohio Republican candidate for governor, lost almost as many Afro-American votes as did Taft. Half of those lost would have made him victorious. In Cleveland "the Colored troops" certainly "fought nobly," doing their full share of this good work. They, too, "remembered Brownsville." The night before the election, Woodliff hall, Cleveland, a place that accommodates about 500 people, could not hold the people ("Negroes" if you please) who tried to crowd into it to hear anti-Taft speeches and to show their hostility to the Republican candidate for the presidency. While Clayton hall, two blocks away, on the same side of the street, a place that has half the capacity of Woodliff hall, contained only six persons ("Negroes") and a band, at a Negro meetings. and a condition of affairs obtained throughout Ohio as far as we were in a position to observe the Negro votes in every section of Ohio, having campaigned throughout the state for at least three weeks prior to election day. Two or more anti-Taft meetings were held during the last two weeks of the campaign in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Springfield, Columbus, Xenia, Pina, and least of all Greenville. In Greenville, Lovain, Akron, Klinn, and other Ohio cities and towns where there were any considerable number of Afro-American voters. The campaign subsidized Taft newspaper liaught to close shop after election. Many of them have had to do so, owing to the enforced discontinuance of their campaign sheets as a result of the closing of the "Taft bar." Yes, indeed, the "Ohio Negro," (especially those in Cleveland), remember Brownville's "troops" certainly "fought nobly" and to much purpose. They showed manhood, self and race respect. The great mass of Ohio Afro-Americans are not political slaves. THE CRUCIAL PERIOD. Virginia, North and South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Georgia are the eight southern states that have adopted disfranchisement laws in direct conflict to and in defiance of certain sections of the United States constitution while Republicans were (and are still) in full control of all the branches of the government with full power to put a stop to it. Notwithstanding their caths of office—to uphold the fundamental law, the United States constitution—and in spite of the fact that about one million Arreo-American voters (nearly one-half of the total number) and two hundred and fifty thousand and white Republicans, have thus been robbed of the right to vote for candidates for presidential electors and for congress (federal law) as well as for state and local office, the Republican president, United States supreme court and congress make absolutely no effort at all to wipe our disfranchisement and thus compel the fundamental respect and regard for the fundamental law of the land. In addition to this, as a race and an integral part of American citizenship, we have had decisions handed down by the Republican United commerce court and interstate commerce commission that have narrowed and curtled our rights until we can now hardly lay claim to even full lawly lay claim to even full civil rights citizenship. And still the vitally injurious work goes on as indicated by the most recent United States supreme court decision in the Berea, Ky., college case, which is but little less harmful than that august body's decision of years ago murdering the Charles Summer civil rights law in all the states of the Union; and its earlier and most infamous "Judge Taney" decision which practically announced that a Negro had no rights that a white man was bound to respect. When all this, the "Jim Crow" car laws, and the wholesale lynchings of the south are considered, it seems high time for the great mass of Afro-Americans to stop and begin a course of deep thinking and far wiser action in matters political in the future than has characterized any considerable number outside of the state of Ohio at any time in recent years. This is indeed a crucial period for us, and it will not remain so forever. We must learn to act, strike in our own defense, and quickly, too, or it will soon be too late. Recommends Big Sum for Recommended Big Calls for Presence Dayton, O—The special committee appointed by the last legislature to investigate the needs of the state penitentiary in Dayton Wednesday afternoon and on Monday, recommends that $800,000 be spent in preemployment of the prison. The action of the committee is a sequel of the governor's veto of the measure passed some time ago, providing for an appropriation of $2,500,000 for a new penitentiary. Besides providing for penitentiary improvements the committee recommended that the prohibition of contract labor among prisoners be continued. Governor Gives Warning. Columbus, O. — Gov. Harris announced Wednesday in an interview that one of the matters to which he will call the attention of the legislature in his message to the extraordinary session will be the immediate necessity of taking some action to put into force the Wertz law in the Ohio penitentiary. The law is the one which abolishes contract labor by convicts and will put them at work making various articles needed by state institutions and at road making. State Auditor Appoints Assistant.

All the new light thrown on the murder of Adolphe Steinheil and Mme. Japy, which occurred in Paris on the night of May 31 at the home of the artist, only strengthens the conviction that Mme.

OHIO SUPREME COURT DECISIONS SEVERAL OF SPECIAL INTEREST HANDED DOWN AT COLUMBUS. TESTIMONY OF WIFE IS N. G. Can't Convict on It in Criminal Action —Union Label, Personal Injury Columbus, O.-An important decision was handed down by the supreme court Tuesday which materially weakens the law against the failure to provide for minor children. The case, styled the state of Ohio vs. Arthur Orth, was brought up by the prosecutor of Hancock county on exceptions, which exceptions the supreme court overrules. Orth was tried on a charge of failure to provide and his attorneys held that he could not be convicted on testimony of his wife. The court holds likewise, on the old ruling of the use of the testimony of a wife or husband against a life partner in a criminal case. Charles C. Myer and Louis Wenzel started a saloon in Cleveland and bought their fixtures from the Cleveland Store Fixture Co. George F. Gunn, president of the Gunn Brewing Co., became surety for them on condition that the fixtures should bear the union label, this being an extra agreement and not a part of the contract. When the fixtures were delivered, only part of them bore the union label. Gunn refused to pay the bill. The fixture company then agreed to saw out a part of the bar and have a new part put in by union labor which should bear the label. Gunn would not agree to this and suit was entered. Gunn lost in the lower courts and the supreme court has affirmed the decision. A Cleveland case decided Tuesday was the C. C. C. & St. L. railroad vs. Frank Curran, a minor. The boy, 12 years old, was at the Cleveland stockyards to see about a carload of poultry when a loose door on a passing train struck and injured him. The common pleas court reverses the circuit court and affirms the decision of the common pleas court, so the boy gets nothing. Charles A. Turner likewise loses his personal damage case against the Pope Motor Car Co. and the Baker Motor Vehicle Co. He was attending a race at Cleveland between cars owned by these companies and was injured. The law that the tracks of an interurban company may not cross the tracks of a steam road at grade, unless it is absolutely necessary that it do so in order to reach its objective point, may not be evaded by selection of a point of crossing by the junior company where separation of the grade is impossible, according to a decision of the supreme court Tuesday in a case which railroad all over the state have sued. The suit is titled "In the matter of the application of the Toledo, Findlay and Fostoria Railway Co., to ascertain and define the mode of crossing the tracks of the Pennsylvania company." The common pleas court held for a crossing at grade. The circuit court reversed the common pleas court and the supreme court upholds the latter. The case is reported. Another grade crossing case decided was that of the Toledo Railway & Terminal Co. and Judson Harmon, receiver of the Toledo Railway & Terminal Co., vs. the Lima & Toledo Traction Co. The terminal company loses its case and the traction company gets the crossing. The case of the Union Savings Bank and Trust Co. of Cincinnati, executor, plaintiff in error, vs. the Western Union Telegraph Co., defendant in error, in which the important question as to the right of a trust company to act as executor was brought up by the telegraph company, was disposed of Tuesday without a decision as to the main point at issue. The court holds that the telegraph company cannot properly bring up the question in the suit being tried. The suit grows out of a minor case. Adolphus H. Smith of Clark county got damages against the Western Union because it killed some shade trees, but he never collected. The trust company was appointed executor of his estate and revived the judgment and sought to collect. The Western Union brought up the question as to the trust company's right to act as executor, and the court decided against the trust company. The case was brought up again for a rehearing, the former judgment vacated, the circuit court reversed and the common pleas court affirmed. The court holds that if the right of the trust company to act as executor is to be attacked it must be attacked directly, and not collaterally, as is done in this instance, Chief Justice Price dissents. The case is reported. 1,000 Men Resume Work Chicago, Ill.—After an idleness of 13 months, the old open hearth department of the Illinois Steel Co. plant at South Chicago was reopened Tuesday and 1,000 men resumed work. Preparations are making to open five other blast furnaces. Martial Law Because of Race Riots.

Ernest Perris, suicide at a hotel here on Tuesday by drinking carbolic acid, after forcing a fatal dose of the poison down the throat of her 7-year-old daughter. American Tretting Association Chicago, Ill.—The annual meeting of the American Trotting association began Tuesday in the Auditorium. About 145 minor cases, mostly appeals from decisions of track judges, were taken up Wednesday. TAKES REFUGE ON BOARD A FRENCH TRAINING SHIP. Port au Prince in Hands of Revolutionists and a New President Has Been Proclaimed. Port au Prince, Haiti.—President Nord Alexis has been deposed and is now safe on board the French training ship Duguy Trouin and Port au Prince is in the hands of the revolutionists. Gen. Antoine Simon, the leader of the insurgents, is marching up the peninsula with an army of 5,000 and a new president, Gen. Legitime has been proclaimed. At the last moment President Alexis yielded to the urging of those about him and decided to take refuge aboard the French warship. At 5 o'clock a salute of 21 guns announced his departure from the palace. Thousands had gathered there early in the day and they had surged around the entrances, threatening to tear down the walls to drive out the president and his loyal followers. As hours passed, the great crowd became accustomed to being led for him to leave the country. The mob was armed and men and women heaped curses upon the head of the aged man who had been deposed from the presidency. So serious was the situation that the French minister, M. Carteron, and other foreign representatives, together with members of a specially appointed committee, forced themselves upon the president, who finally consented to withdraw. Shouts greeted him as he stepped from the precincts of the palace and into a carriage which had been provided. M. Carteron, carrying the French tricolors, sat beside him and the minister threw the folds of the flag over the shoulders of the deposed president to protect him. All along the route the people who lined the streets shouted, jeered and cursed at the fallen president, but when the landing stage was reached the mob lost all restraint. The scene was tragic and shamful. Infurited women broke through the cordon of troops and shrieked the coarsest insults into the very face of the president, who strove bravely to appear undismaved. They tried to hurl themselves upon Alexis and fought with hands and feet against the soldiers, who found difficulty in forcing them back. In order to disgage him the troops discharged their guns, several shots being fired. During this time a space was cleared and Nord Alexis, with the French colors draped about him, was hurried aboard a skiff in tow of a steam launch, his suite tumbling into the skiff after him. As the launch drew away three Haitien gunboats and the French and American warships in the harbor fired a salute to the fallen president. BURGLARS SECURE BIG HAUL They Dynamited Bank Vault Three Times and Make Good Their Escape With $14,000. Pepperell, Mass.-Fourteen thousand dollars in cash was secured by burglar, who early Wednesday blew open the vault of the First National bank here. The thoroughness and skill with which the work was performed has convinced the police that the burglar were professionals. Three men were in the party, and although they were seen escaping in an automobile, all trace of them was soon lost and the authorities were unable to ascertain in which direction they departed. It is believed, however, that the burglar went from here to Groton The bank vault was blown open about 2 o'clock at which time the last of three explosions was heard by Ernest Tarbell, who was sleeping next door. The two earlier detonations had aroused him, but he was uncertain as to their origin, as the sound was muffled. The third explosion, however, was less guarded and was followed by a crash and rattle, as the vault door fell away and interior glass fittings were broken. Tarbell armed himself with a revolver and started to investigate, only to find the door of his own barreled from the open side. He succeeded in breaking open his door and immediately started for the bank. Tarbell reached the bank just as the robbers were leaving in an automobile. After shouting an alarm Tarbell fired several shots at the burglar. The shots were fired at a distance of some 20 feet, but there is no indication that any of them took effect. Tarbell, who followed the automobile for some distance along the main street, is reasonably certain that the machine took the road to Groton. Cashier Henry F. Tarbell, who was immediately notified of the robbery, came to the bank. He found a quantity of bills and silver scattered about the vault, giving evidence of the hurry with which the burglar secured their booty. Pittsburg Brokers Make Assignment Pittsburg Brokers Make Assignment. Pittsburg, Pa.—Owing to their inability to realize on paper in their possession John D. Armstrong & Co., well known stock brokers, with offices in the Farmers' Bank building, made an appearance Wednesday to Walter P. Rainbow of Chapman & Rainbow, attorneys. Both Armstrong & Co. and Attorney Rainbow state the sets will exceed the liabilities. Mr. Rainbow said: "I know very little concerning the matter. I have not had time to thoroughly acquaint myself with details." Captured Daring Robber Pittsburgh, Pa.—While the principal business street of the North Side (formerly Allegheny) near the Pennsylvania railroad station, was crowded with people hurrying to or from suburban trains Wednesday night, a robber fastened from the outside the door of Theodore Frey's jewelry store, imprisoning the proprietor and his clerks, and then smashed the big plate glass show window, secured two trays of diamonds and jewelry valued at $12,000 and ran away with them. Later he was captured. | Local News Notice to Subscribers.—Subscribers not receiving The Gazette regularly should notify us at once. We desire every copy delivered promptly.

"Ob," was the reply, “It's such a quiet street for the horses!” He also tells of a playgoer who re celved no response to his repeated re quests to a lady in front of him to Femove her huge hat ‘At length, exasperated, he sald: “I you won't take off your hat, my dear madam, will you be s0 kind as to fold back your ears?”—Woman’s Life.

Although most of us would hesitate to express what might be termed the face value of the “modern smile,” we certainly realize at times that it Is e form of currency which is depreci- ating. In the “modern smile” we recog: nize the crude, official thing which neither iHuminates, cheers nor bridges awful gaps of siJence. It may savor Of suggesting a wave of imbecility to declare that’ we ought all to siaile more, but it is certainly true that the charm of a woman's smile was once esteemed even above beauty.
