After all the preaching about the parted pompadour, it didn't come in until the season was well started. Now the smart women are rapidly taking it up. At the opera, at dinner dances, at the theater, and wherever women gather with bare heads the parted pompadour is the mode of the moment. It is doubtful if the small roll of hair over the temples could be dignified by the name of pompadour. It stands out little from the face. It is slightly waved, more often at home than on the irons of the hairdresser. The parting is on the left side and the hair brushed away from it in man fashion. At the right side of the part the hair sweeps down over the brow and across the temples in a large rippling wave. The left side goes back over the ear and is tucked into the small Psyche knot that stands straight out from the head. Every one thought this parted pompadour would be unbecoming; on the contrary, it is quite attractive and a charming relief from the mass of ruffed and rattled hair that we have been wearing over the brow for years. Whatever rats or crepes are put into the hair to keep it out now are used at the sides. They must not go across the back except under the Psyche knot. The correct coiffure adopted by the majority has the hair brushed up smoothly from the nape of the neck to the knot itself. There is no bulging out or sagging down. It is a clean Grecian sweep, usually held in place by a wide barette. A charming revival of the "Marie-Antolmette" coiffure of tulle edged with pearls. Ventilate Raincoats If the raincoat proves too overheating, a circular row of button-holed eyelids may be worked under the arm and a second row on the under section of the sleeve. If kept far enough under, there will be little danger of their showing, and they will do the ventilating act successfully. The excessive closeness of the raincoat is distressing whether worn with a coat or without one. THE GAZETTE HOUSE GOWN AT SMALL COST. Silk and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used with Excellent Results. The girl who wants a pretty house gown at small cost is buying the silk and cotton fabrics that take the place of organdle and other thin materials. These are often flowered in charming colors and also made up in polka dots and fine self-covered stripes. The girl who makes her clothes at home can handle this material quite easily. She wants a one-piece frock of it slightly curved in at the waist, fastening down back and cut out in a slight square at neck. Below the square she insets a piece of embroidered fillet net over white chiffon, or uses a color, as she prefers. Above this she puts a narrow band of lace. The sleeves are half way to elbow, fit the arm, and are finished with a frill of lace and a bow of ribbon. There is quite a new touch in arranging this elbow frill. A narrow edge of lace is used around the inside of the arm, then a double plait at the back that is five inches deep and has a wide square satin bow at the top. This is much prettier than the old-fashioned way of gathering in a lace frill of one width. Physical Culture to Save Figure Physical Culture to Save Figures. New York young women of society have entered with ardor upon a new system of physical culture, with a view to adding harmony to their figures and preserving them from irregularity of line. They have placed themselves under the instruction of an actress who retains her physical symmetry, though she is no longer young. This woman points to herself as proof of the efficacy of her system. It embraces the varied use of elastic devices of various size and weights. These contrivances are used in many ways, the work being graded with a view to individual needs. Medicine balls of graded sizes and weights also are used and the teacher also puts her pupils through vigorous movements of arms and body, which bring all the muscles into play. To Freshen Black Clothe A woman who has worn black for years says she keeps her clothes fresh with a mixture made as follows: years says she keeps her clothes fresh with a mixture made as follows: Buy five cents' worth of borax and ten cents' worth of camphor gum. Put them into a large bowl, breaking the camphor gum into small pieces. Pour over this a quart of boiling water, stirring to dissolve the borax. All the camphor will not dissolve. When cool put it into a bottle and cork tightly. When ready to use it pour a little into a basin, diluting it with the quant of cold water. Wet a stocking with this and sponge your black goods pressing afterward. This will remove all spots and grease and restore the black. A New Veil Pin. The butterfly has made its appearance again in the form of an ivory pin that clamps the vell to the hair brim either back or front. The clamp is worked by pressing to gather the wings. The ornament is pretty, simple and does not detract from the color scheme of a hat. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1909. MOST EMPHATIC AND CONVINCING! MOST EMPHATIC AND CONVINCING! IS MAJOR CHARLES E. MILLER'S REPLY TO A COLOR-LINE CHARGE. A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS Showed Practical Friendship, When I Was Needed, for the Ninth Ohio Battalion During the Spanish- Cleveland, O., March 12, 1909. Major Charles R. Miller, Century Bldg., City. Dear Sir: The impression prevails pretty generally among the 4,000 Afro-American voters of this district, that you favored separate camps for Afro-American veterans of the Spanish-American war, or some other discrimination against this class of Americans, in a meeting of Spanish-American war veterans at Washington, D. C. Boston or elsewhere, in recent years. I have some remembrance of something of the kind, but it is not clear, and may not be correct. Will you please oblige me with a statement of facts as to the matter at an early date? I am moved to send you this communication because the matter has been brought to my attention repeatedly in recent weeks by loyal local Afro-American voters. If I hear from you from Wednesday of next week, it will be possible to publish your reply in the newsletter of The Gazette with this communication. Yours truly, HARRY C. SMITH. Major Miller's Reply. Cleveland, March 13, 1909. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor The Gazette—Dear Sir: I have your favor of the 12th inst., calling my attention to the impression prevailing among the Afro-American voters of the district that I favored the organization Mai, Chas, R. Miller. of separate camps for the colored veterans of the Spanish-American war. Permit me to say that the same is absolutely without even the foundation of truth. I never favored any such a proposition, never even thought of it and never made any such a recommendation. I might further add that I have always been prepared to fore the national organization even for consideration. At the request, however, of the colored veterans of the state of Virginia I did recommend at the Washington encampment that they be permitted to organize a separate department of state organization and I did this only at the request of Comrade Brown, who, on the floor of the Washington encampment, asked for such authority, and at the conclusion of his speech the encampment granted such authority. Personally, I have never thought that any distinction between men should be made, by reason of color or position in life. My own ideas are, that all men should be made to be colored people, what they have done, what they have accomplished in life; in other words, that each man should be measured by himself and what he is. I know of no broader or more humanitarian viewpoint from which to look upon mankind. As to the way I have responded to the colored people can simply say to you that I have always employed them in my family. I have for a number of years employed a colored man as janitor of a block that I own and while in the service during the Spanish war I caused the men to be attached to my brigade, because their relations with the brigade to which they had previously been attached were not pleasant and the boys were so well treated that they forwarded a petition to the corps commander, requesting to be permitted to accompany our brigade in foreign service. I have always been prepared to through your paper to correct any wrong impression which your people may have, and thanking you in advance for calling the matter to my attention, I remain. Very truly yours. CHAS. R. MILLER. A Candidate for the Congressional Nomination. The last of this month a special election will be held in the Twenty-first Congressional district to fill the vacancy made by the elevation to the senate of Hon. Theodore E. Burton and inasmuch as this district is normally Republican he will undoubtedly there is a lively contest for the nomination on the Republican ticket at the present time. Among the four candidates in the arena is Major Charles R. Miller, lawyer, author of legal text-books, and military officer. From the foregoing, one can readily see at a glance that he is a man of experience and knowledge. Major Miller, a cousin of President McKinley, was elected in 1858. He studied law under William and Abner McKinley. After his admission to the bar, he came to Cleveland and went into the office of Estep & Squire. In 1880, he opened an office for himself in Canton. Three years later he married a daughter of ex-Mayor W. G. Rose of this city. In 1901 he settled in Cleveland with his family, and is a member of the law firm of Weed, Miller & Nason, Mr. Miller was a major and a member of the general staff of the Second army corps. Spaniard, he was a judge advocate general of the Spanish-American War Veterans, and commander-in-chief of the organization. In 1896, Major Miller was a presidential elector and acquired quite a reputation in stump speaking as an orator. He is a Mason, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Loyal Legion, the United Spanish War Veterans, the St. Louis Towers, at the bar, too, he possesses an enviable reputation. He has the best qualifications for representing the important and fast growing industries of this district and is much favored by the manufacturing interests because he knows their needs. In his platform, these are some of the imminent harbor, and a larger merchant marine. Local merchants and manufacturers have stepped forward in a very decided manner in indorsing Major Milton. They would like to see him Mr. Burton's successor in the very strong, open letter to the voters, he is indorsed by a large number of the big merchants in the city, and he will well Robert S. Pierce, J. J. Wemple, Stephen L. Pierce, F. J. Smith, A. S. Upson, J. C. Brainard, W. B. D. Alexander, L. H. Kittredge, Thomas H. White, Thomas P. Robbins and E. F. Van Zandt. In this letter they emphasized the need for a well-qualified for the position on account of his experience and ability, but also is particularly well-fitted, because of his large influence and acquaintance at Washington, D. C., among the lawmakers. "TEDDY, THE TERROR." And "Taft, the Timid."-Senators For- aker and Dick—A Woman Speaks! Moro, Oregon, March 12, 1909. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: "Enclosed please find a money order for three dollars for two years' subscription to The Gazette. Pray forgive me for rejecting to send it sooner. So "Teddy, the Terrery," is gone, big stick, loud voice and all (if there is anything more of him) and "Taft, the Timid," rules in his stad. A change for the better (it could hardly be worse). "Hile there is no hope of imitation," he says of South, in rest of the Union I think he will to placate them, by being very good. I believe the old abolition sentiment is roused as it has not been for years and he will try to conciliate it. The protective tariff people will watch him closely and he dare not offend them. They are too strongly enticed to support the military. His cabin is both good and bad. Knox and Wilson are very good. Pity he could not find a Republican to be secretary of war. That place should never be filled by a southern Democrat and ex-rebel, for they have to deal with colored troops. Yet, after all, the support of the Brownsville bill, there is a possibility of justice, and we can wait in hope. Foraker sealed his great unselfish actions with his political life. Yet it almost seems like the angel at the tomb of our blessed Lord, we could say. "Why seek the living among the dead?" his popularity seems to be greater than day than it has been for several years. Foraker will be returned to the senate, if he wishes to go. I am not sure but the Ohioans will feel their need of him so much, that they will draft him, if he refuse to volunteer. Senator Dick is a splendid man. Foraker's friends should be more supportive of his leader in spite of all the bribes Roosevelt could offer and all the threats he could use. He has never failed Foraker once. Let us give him a place in our loyal affections only second to the one we give to our greatest and best. Joseph Benson Foraker. THE "NEW PARTY'S" CORRECT NAME. President Taft is ambitious; he wishes to prove that he is not, as many people assumed after his nomination and during his campaign, a mere Roosevelt manikin, or a marlonette, if you prefer this epithet. He is going to form a new party which is to reconcile the discordant elements of the two great national parties of heretofore. He is going to bridge over what little chasm there is between the two little creeks, to which the former large streams have dwindled. As bridge-builder—he has selected a Democrat of the "ardaman" (that is, the "dwarf") of the northern Democrats of the more sober and sane type like Judge Dunne of Chicago, object to Mr. Dickinson's democracy as principled Republicans protest against the selection of such a man (Democrat) also. Now, years ago, we heard of the Poppocrats (Populist-Democrats!) Suppose President Taft baptizes the new brat, DEMOPUPS (Democratic-Republican). That is the correct name, DEMOPUPS would be a fitter than "TACOR GEERTH." A Social Function. Washington, D. C.—The tea gown Sunday evening, March 7, by Miss Lillian Ramsey in honor of Miss Addie Sabb of Cleveland, O. , was one of the many banners displayed at the parlor. The parrons were richly decorated with ferns, palms, and pink roses. The gowns worn by the receiving party were becoming smart and beautiful. Those who made up Miss Sabb were Miss Julia Davis and Mrs. Campbell, Miss Julia Davis and Mrs. F. W. Pettiford. Three Drowned in Reservoir Sidney, O.—Ben Struhkamp, Elmer Tritschu and Charles Wyssong, youths living near Lorami reservoir, were drowned in that body of water while rowing. THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HERITAGE CENTER STAG CLUB'S LINCOLN DINNER Presided Over as Usual by the Veteran Caterer and Leader, Mr. Luther Johnson—Each Dinner Better Than the Last. The fifth annual Lincoln birthday dinner was given by "The Stag club" in the parlors of Woodliff hall, 2400 Central avenue, Sunday, February 14. The ware used from our caterers, Messrs. Luther Johnson and P. Johnson Tarrer, was decided finer than any used previously. The members received from 2 to 4 p. m., during which time they served Mr. Johnson's famous "Baltimore punch." Dorsey E. Moore came home from Youngstown to be present. After the dinner the club held Mr. Charles Geiger in song over the Messrs. Hunt, White, Burns and Thad. Warsaw of Detroit, who were introduced by ex-Stag G. B. Taylor. The ex-Stags present were: Messrs. Dan Fairfax, G. B. Taylor, L. G. Adkins, Charles Cooper and Dr. Clubes L. Season. Songs, paroles in song over the Messrs. Hunt, White, Burns and Thad. Speeches were given in plenty and all thoroughly enjoyed. The dinner cooked by Chef George Berry was also the finest and most tasty of all "Stag" spreads. The service was perfect under the direction of our esteemed service-men, Messrs. Geiger, Wilson and Twelve plates were laid. Appended is the mem, with members present. The club wishes to thank Mr. William Parker-Howard Marriage. Steubenville, O.—Lorenzo D. Howard and Minnie C.

Macon, Ga.—Developments in the federal postal and revenue service in the central portion of this state seem to reveal a changed policy in Georgia among Republicans with regard to the Taft admittance of non-Americanicans in government offices. A number of Negro mail carriers have been dropped in Macon, and many other changes fully bear out such a view, it is believed here that the Taft admittance of non-Americanicans public interests wherever it can be done for new white forces. A White Man Succeeds Dr. Crum. Washington, D. C.—Taft's shameless southern policy began work Saturday, when it was decided to appoint E. W. Durant (white) of Charleston, S. C., collector of that port, to succeed Dr. W. D. Crum. Mr. Durant, like Dr. Crum, is, of "excellent standing," according to reports from leading citizens (white) of Charleston.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1904 to 1909 1906 to 1908 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, Saturday, March 1, 1909 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 greatest American of the day—ex-Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, a worthy successor to the immortal ex-Senator Charles Summer. The anti-Taft campaign last fall conducted by the independent Afro-American Republicans of Ohio, showed better results than those of all other members of the race or their organizations. "I'm out of office but not out of the Republican party, and not out of commission, and I don't propose to be put out of either."—Senator J. B. Foraker, at Columbus, O. March 12. Hurrah for the senator! Many a good fight in him yet. Retiring President Elliot, of Harvard university, declared last week Monday in a newspaper interview against the Irish marrying Americans and that he is opposed to mixed marriages in general. How very narrow-minded some distinguished educators can grow late in life, in this day and time. Dr. W. D. Crum ought not to have resigned his position as collector of customs at Charleston, S. C., in the face of President Roosevelt's recent reappointment of him, but should have stood his ground like a MAN and forced the issue, even in the face of President Taft's publicly announced, shameless southern policy. President Taft's secretary of war, one Dickinson of Tennessee makes no pretense of having changed his policies. He is still proud of his "Vardaman" Democracy, freely announces that he was loyal to Bryan in the last campaign and voted against the "Republican" (Taft), who has honored him with a cabinet position. No one ever accused a southern politician of lack of "nerve." One F. E. Cramer, Republican candidate for mayor of St. Louis, Mo. with honored words, to our people of that city, publicly endorses a colorline as regards nurses and physicians in the hospitals of that great city, and therefore ought to be defeated. Let our manly voters of St. Louis do their duty. Better an open enemy as mayor than one of Cramer's kind, because these latter harm most. It is hard for us to believe the daily newspaper announcement from Washington, D. C., to the effect that President Taft intends to appoint as an associate justice of the United States supreme court, Gen. Luke E. Wright, President Roosevelt's latest secretary of war, a former governor of the Philippines, (a position he was relieved of because of his racial prejudice and hatred), an ex-rebel, and a Tennessee Democrat. William Jennings Bryan, the frothy Democratic leader, as president, could not do worse from our racial viewpoint. The prejudiced south. "illy-white" Republicans and Democrats, are highly elated over President Taft's statement of his southern policy in his inaugural address and in other speeches made principally in the south since last fall's election. The leading daily Democratic papers of that section are devoting considerable editorial space to an indorsement of it. The platforms of the Republican party, of years gone by, upon which it grew great and powerful, are being wholly ignored by our present chief executive. SHAME! "Jack" Johnson, champion heavy-weight pugilist of the world, is doing things these days, and apparently is a very busy man, socially if not otherwise. He has "fired" his manager, and issued a statement denying the charge, made by the daily press recently, that his wife is white. Johnson claims that she is "three-fourths Negro, even if she does have a very "white" way, as far as color goes, of showing it. He also continues to insist, in daily newspaper interviews, that he stands ready to fight "Jim" Jeffries, (white) ex-champion, anywhere in the world and at any time, and as a result has put a very great damper on the silly "Jeffries" adulation which dominates the sporting pages of many daily newspapers of the country, conducted by prejudiced writers. Too bad, isn't it? DEMOCRATS NEAR TO THE PRESIDENCY. Were President Taft, Vice President Sherman and Secretary Knox to become unable to perform the duties of the presidency. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, a Democrat until the ascendancy in the Democratic party of W. J. Bryan, would succeed to the White House. Were MacVeagh likewise to die or become disqualified for the presidency the next in succession would be Secretary Dickinson, a Democrat now and al- ways, according to his most recent statements. Thus, of the first four potential presidents in accidental succession to Mr. Taft, two are Democrats; one of them an irreconcilable one. It is a curious conjecture in possibilities, the result of appointments made by a man supposedly a Republican, recently elected to the presidency by Republicans. This is doubt less part of his "southern policy!" O, Lord! A "BROWNVILLE" LIE NAILED! Immediately upon the passage of the Foraker-Aldrich Brownsville bill, rehabilitating the members of "The Black Battalion" who may desire to return to the army, restoring to them all rights, privileges, etc., lost as a result of their outrageous discharge "without honor" by President Roosevelt, the Washington, D. C., correspondents of many leading daily papers throughout the country, continued their shameful policy of deception and prevarication in the Brownsville matter, by boldly announcing a lie, to the effect that the soldiers, Companies B, C, D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, were required by the bill as a law "to prove their innocence," in order to secure re-instalment in the army and all other benefits, including the wiping from the army records of the disgraceful discharge "without honor." In a recent letter, touching upon this very thing, Senator Foraker wrote: "There is no ground for the slightest apprehension that such an un-American and unauthorized requirement will be made as that any one shall prove his innocence." In spite of the senator's public refutation of the lie, we have yet to see a daily paper that has corrected its willful mis-statement. Here we have another of the many striking illustrations of the necessity of our people's reading regularly, at least one of our own good newspapers. It is from them only, often, that the truth, as to matters of importance and even vital racial interest, is secured. TRAITOROUS "POLITICAL" SCUL LIONS. In a letter for publication, received this week from our Xenia correspondent, Mr. J. M. Summers, the following occurs: "The more bad treatment the white man gives the average Negro, the better he likes him. This is strange, but it is true. And that is the one great reason why the Negro does not command more respect than he does. You can see the Negro, now, making a kinds of palliating excuses for President Taft's southern policy. The average Negro is born without courage or foresight, and when it comes to contending with the whites for his own rights, he 'falls down' and 'throws up' his hands every time. To him, everything the white man does is right." Not only the "average" Negro, but many of those above the average, are unfortunately open to the same charges. Almost every day the spectacle is presented of some more or less prominent member of the race posing in the lime-light as an apologist for Taft's un-Republican, insulting, shameful and disgraceful southern policy, with a view solely to assisting to boost himself into a political job somewhere. This is particularly true of prominent Afro-Americans in and about Washington, D. C., and throughout the south. It is not only an outrage upon the race but also upon decency. Would to God that we could rid the race of such despicable hindrances to its growth of self-respect and to its progress. AS TO TAFT'S SOUTHERN POLICY As The Gazette predicted several weeks ago, the Afro-American federal office-holders in the south are being supplanted by white men. Dr. Crumt's successor, a member of that race, has been appointed, and an announcement comes from Washington, D.C. to the effect that Postmaster Wilson of Florence, S. C., Collectors Deveaux of Savannah and Rucker of Atlanta, Ga., Joseph Lee of Jacksonville, Fla., and other Afro-American federal office-holders in that section of the country, including letter-carryers and mail clerkes, will also soon lose their jobs to members of the other race. This is in accordance with President Taft's off-expressed southern policy, and is no surprise except to those of the race who refuse to accept his recent statement relative to his recent determination not to appoint Afro-Americans to southern federal positions where there is objection to them. This, of course, means ALL of the south because prejudiced whites of every part of that section will see to it that the objection necessary is always forthcoming even if it is necessary to manufacture it by those (Democrats or "Republicans") who want the offices. This is even worse than President Roosevelt's southern policy, "referee" system and all. When it is considered in connection with President Taft's appointment of Secretary War Dickinson, a southern Democrat and ex-rebel, who is not only proud of his membership in a confederate veteran's camp but also of his "Vardaman" Democracy, one will have no difficulty in understanding just where we, as a race and a potent factor of the Republican party, "are at."

Bill Passed by the U. S. Senate so Amended and Passed by the House—What Congressmen Burton and How- land Say. Cleveland, O., Feb. 24, 1909. Hon. T. E. Burton, M. C. Washington. D. C. Dear Sir: I notice in a Washington dispatch to local daily newspapers under the date, February 18, 1909, that the house of representatives on that date passed a bill, revising, amending and certifying the penal laws of the country; a somewhat similar measure had previously been sent to the senate for measures are in the hands of a committee on conference. The house bill was amended by a Mr. Bartlett of Georgia so as to allow a color line in juries by repealing the law in force which made it a crime for state officers to disqualify certain persons from serving on juries on account of race or color. It is not possible to call your attention to the necessity of securing the REJECTION of the Bartlett amendment by the committee on conference and if this is impossible, the necessity of securing the same result when the conference committee's report is being acted upon in the senate. It does not seem posed to be a problem, and could accept, to say nothing of adopting, any such bill as amended by Mr. Bartlett of Georgia. Whither are we drifting? Yours respectfully. HARRY C. SMITH. Committee on Rivers and Harbors, House of Representative, Washington, D. C. Feb. 26, 1909. Philip H. Carr, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, Q. My Dear Sir: I have your note of the 24th. The provision which you mention is really new to me, namely, that the color line can be established in the selection of juries. Of course, this winter I have been able to pay very little attention to general legislation. My absorption of the work of care has been such that I could not carefully follow general legislation. Washington, D. C., March 3, 1909 My Dear Mr. Smith: I have not yet had time to give very careful attention to the provision in the revised code, of which you wrote. It is not all probable that I will be adopted at this session, and as soon as I am free from the present rush I shall give the whole subject careful attention. Yours very respectfully, T. E. BURTON. House of Representatives, U. S. Committee on Public Lands, Washington, D. C. Feb. 27, 1909 My Dear Mr. Smith: I have noted what you say with reference to the Bartlett amendment to the penal code and I do not know what the conferences will do with it, but am of the opinion that it will never become a law.

Johnson and other local visitors to the inaugural at Washington, D. C., returned the last of last and the first of this week well pleased with the inclement weather that prevailed at the capital during their stay there. The musicale given at St. James' church Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Freeman and son, Valdo, proved an enjoyable affair, credit for which should be given to Mrs. Fred Berry and other members of the Fred Berry and other members associated with her in the work. Our people who purchase from the small store on Central avenue, conducted by persons other than members of the race, ought to be more careful to see to it that they get just what they pay for and nothing else. This latter is oftener the rule than the exception. The way many of our people only pay in that section of the city, but others also, is something terrific. Be more careful in the future.

LAST NOTICE to delinquents. E. J. Lucas, secretary of the committee in charge, writes us that Edwin Cowles, Western Reserve and Cilimax lodges, K. P., will hold their annual thanksgiving services at St. John's church in the city, which is held at J. H. Wilson of Springfield, G. C. of the state, will be master of ceremonies and lodges from Lorain, Painesville and Sandusky will attend. These services are, as a rule, exceptionally entertaining and we suggest that our readers make it convenient to attend on the 28th. The remains of Mrs. Hezekiah Jackson, for many years a resident of this city, whose husband, a well known citizen, died several years ago, taught this city from a cage the first of year for burial. Mrs. Jackson had not been in good health since the death of her husband. Nevertheless she was active in both lodge and church work, and leaves a host of friends in this city and wherever she was known. She died at the age of 81, and she panied the remains to this city. She has the sympathy of the community, as her mother's death is a positive loss to the race. The dedication of the new and beautiful edifice, St. John's A. M. E. church, which included, in addition to the elaborate services of Sunday morning, afternoon and evening, those services which included Friday evening, was a grand success, in which Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, presiding bishop of this, the third Episcopal district, Rev Dr. Charles Bundy, P. E., E.J. M. Glimere, P. E., C. S. Gee, P. E., W. B. Anderson of Pittsburgh, many other prominent clergymen, church, parish, church churches, and participated. Exceptionally large audiences attended all the services and were not only delighted, but E THE GAZETTE" AT Boga Building. Open Sunday. 8221 Central Avenue. Open Sunday. 815 Central Avenue.

St. John's choir, the Mozart club, a male quartet, the S. S., its orchestra and the junior choir furnished nearly all of the services for the Duke's dedicated services. St. John's is certainly to be congratulated upon its most auspicious opening of what bids fair to be not only a new but the most successful era of its long and interesting history. The Gazette was the first to publicly suggest East Forthtie or East Fifty-fifth streets, in Chicago, as the best places for the location of the beautiful new church edifice, which is located on the first named street near the avenue. In Darkest Texas. Texas civilization has been again proclaimed by means of a bonfire with a living, writhing Negro in the center of it.

WINS MARTAHON SUPREMACY Dorando Pietri Takes Rubber Match from Johnny Hayes at Madison Square Garden. New York City.—Before 10,000 spectators, a large majority of whom were his countrymen, Dorando Pietri last night defeated Johnny Hayes in the rubber match for Marathon supremacy at Madison Square Garden. The race was at the regulation distance, 26 miles 385 yards and was run over a ten-lap track. Both men were in excellent condition and Dorando proved himself to be the master of Hayes at the game of long distance running. From the starter's gun to the end of the race the Italian led the American boy, throughout being spurred on by the cheers and plaudits of his emotional countrymen. In the seventeenth mile Dorando started a heart-breaking sprint which Hayes was unable to follow, and before half a mile had been run the foreigner had gained a lap. Again in the eighteenth, after he had taken a breathing spell, the Italian again set out at a pace Hayes was unable to follow. RESTAURANT IN NAVY YARD Daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan Will Provide Men Who Work There With Better Food. New York City—Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, will open a restaurant in the Brooklyn yard about day 1. As chairman of a committee appointed by the New York section of the National Civic Federation Miss Morgan has just received her authorization from the government to carry out this plan, which aims to provide for the men who work in the navy yard better food at less money than they can now obtain. The government has granted the use of a large warehouse building for the purpose. The building is 65 feet wide and 240 feet long and 700' men can be fed without difficulty. Miss Morgan's youngest sister, the wife of Herbert U. Satterlee, former assistant secretary of the navy, is also interested in the restaurant scheme. WAS DUCKED IN ICY WATERS Student Who Stole Articles from Fellow Students Roughly Treated by a Mob. Morgantown. W. Va.—After his rooms had been searched and a number of articles said to have been stolen from other students had been discovered Ralph McCune, a student in the West Virginia university here, was seized by a mob of more than 400 students as he was being taken to jail in the custody of a deputy sheriff and was escorted to the Monongahela river where he was ducked in the icy waters. The mob, augmented by a force of at least 100 more students, then dragged the youth from the river and took him to the Central Square where he was placed on an impromptu platform and is said to have contested many petty thefts. After this he was ordered to leave the city on the next train. He obeyed. notify us at once if your Gazette fails to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1909. WHEN SNOW WAS 40 FEET DEEP. Took 600 Soldiers to Clear the Way in the English Blizzard of 1836. The mogul engines which were stalled in the recent blizzard out west do not appear to be worthy successors of a certain Hercules engine which cut a noble figure in the English blizzard of 1836. To appreciate the role played by the Hercules some idea must be given of the effect of the storm on other methods of travel. Fourteen mail coaches were abandoned on as many roads. Another was dug out of drifts five times between Exeter and London. Straighten Your Hair DEAR SIRS: I have used only one bottle of your pomade and now I would not be without it. For it makes my hair soft and straight. DRUG STORE SPECIAL ATTENTION TO PRESCRIPTIONS "Nooralgia" Headache Powders The Knopf Pharmacy J. J. MACK, MGR. Another was buried so deep that it took 300 men, principally sappers and miners, several hours to make a passage to the coach and rescue the mails and passengers, while near Chatham the snow lay to a depth of 30 or 40 feet, the military being turned out to the number of 600 to clear the way. In London the drifts were ten feet deep and hundreds of men and carts were employed hauling snow out to the fields in the suburbs. The markets were in a bad way. One day only four stall holders were able to reach a main market. Greens which a few days before the storm were being sold for three pence a bunch at market, now fetched from ten pence to one shilling, turns, carrots and celery becoming equally dear; while one penny handful of parsley realized two shillings sixpence, and the happy possessor of a bunch which he had previously purchased for ninepence realized for his prize no less a sum than £1 2s 3d. Amid all this confusion the pioneer railways covered themselves with glory by running trains almost without interruption. There was a deep cutting on one line where the snow had drifted badly and, according to the Queen, great numbers of people turned out to see how the Hercules engine would get along. They imagined, of course, that she would be stopped, but to their astonishment the engine dashed right into the drift, "clearing her way through apparently without the slightest difficulty, the snow at the same time flying over the top of the engine chimney like foam from the broken waves of a violent sea, and notwithstanding obstructions the train came down from Greenhead (20 miles) in one hour and a quarter." When a Tooth Is Not a Tooth When a Tooth Is Not a Tooth. In Seattle last year a man was charged with and tried for practicing dentistry without a license. Each particular piece of evidence necessary to make out the case on the part of the state was proved, except that the prosecutor, having procured the prosecuting witness to exhibit his batched tooth to the jury, either forgot or didn't think it was necessary to ask the witness if it was a natural or an artificial tooth, and so lost his case. It seems the statute made it a misdemeanor to mend a "human tooth" for a fee without a license. Now the sensible presumption—the presumption that men cr judges would naturally indulge in if they had not become imbued with the passion of peering for loopholes—would be that the tooth was natural and not artificial. But if we presumed that, the law would cease to be an "exact" science, and many gaping spectators on the back benches would be deprived of the joy of watching to see which lawyer came out winner in the match of wits.—Collier's Weekly. Secret of Successful Oratory "The most effective orator I have ever heard," says a writer in the Windsor, "was an Italian ex-friar, an old Garibaldian, Sig. Gavazzi by name, who lectured in England when I was in my teens. He was addressing some 5,000 men and women of the hard-headed north country type. He was speaking in English, which was to him an acquired and foreign language. He played on his hearers as if they were an old giddle in the grasp of Paganini. He made them literally laugh and cry at will. He would one moment hush them in spellbound silence, and the next, by a word or gesture, he would explode the charged mine of their enthusiasm into deafening cheers. As I listened to him I first understood why Demosthenes insisted so strenuously on action—action or delivery as the first, second and third secret of successful oratory." A. Dermatologist. A young man who described himself as a medical student was before Magistrate O'Relly in the Manhattan avenue court, Brooklyn, charged with abandonment by his wife. "What does your husband do for a living?" asked the court. "He has a lot of instruments," was the reply, "and with one of them he makes injections in the skin." "Then he is a skin doctor." "You can bet your life he's a skin doctor," agreed the aggrieved wife readily. "He skinned me and he skinned my father. Dad loaned him $100 to which he has bidden a fond farewell, and he hocked some of my jewelry. If he a skin doctor? Surrest your thing you know!"—New York Times. Had to Have Her Cigarettes Because the management of the hotel after a frantic but fruitless searching of the city, was unable to provide any of the peculiar brand of London cigarettes which she is accustomed to smoke and which she says are absolutely essential to her happiness, Mrs. George Wyndham, a wealthy and pretty young English woman, from exclusive Hyde Park, London, gave up her handsome apartments in the Hotel Plaza in New York. With her pretty and demure English mild she went to visit friends in Tuxedo park, where, she said, she would have no trouble in getting all of the cigarettes of the brand she so much desired, but of which she has been deprived. Two of a Kind. A distinguished specialist in Washington was called upon a week or two ago by an eminent government official, for treatment for a nervous ailment. "The first thing you must do," said the physician, after an examination. "Is to give up both smoking and drinking." Whereupon the eminent official became real peevish. "Look here, doctor," he burst into, "now you're talking just like my wife!"—Lipnoutt's Straighten Your Hair DEAR SIES: I—I have used only one bottle of your pomade and now I would not be without it, for it makes my hair soft and straight and it keeps my hair shiny.

The apparatus consists of a platform, on to which the snow swept off the roadway is shovelled, and beneath which are a series of pockets formed of thin metal kept hot by electrical radiators. The snow falls from the platform into the pockets, and is discharged as water from the hoppers. The platform may be mounted on wheels for transport to various parts of the town, and may be stationed near the street drains, so that the water can run off, or the heaters may be erected at special depots, to which the snow is conveyed. The requisite current may be taken from the town mains. Real Grief. "Jones is an honest fellow, and not a bit mercenary." "What makes you think so?" "I saw bim weeping because his rich uncle died."

When a property-owner knows nothing about paint it is bad for the property-owner, and bad for the painter. It would not be so if the property-owner would always hire a skilled painter, and then really leave everything to him. But the house-owner so often fools himself on one or the other of these things. The skilled painter in every community has some of the most incompetent competitors that ever vexed a conscientious workman or contractor, and the incompetents get jobs generally by working cheap. In the next place, when the skilled painter is hired, they do not leave everything to him, as so many property-owners boast they do. They interfere most ignorantly and most fatally. They insist sometimes on using paint materials without investigating whether they are good or not. Or perhaps they insist on the painter's hurrying the work. "I'm not going to have that painter's mess around my house a month," the wife says, and what wife says goes—at the cost of a lot of wasted painting money. If the painter stays away a few days to allow the pain to thoroughly dry the owner says: "That painter's neglecting this work—guess he's side-tracking me for Jones' work. I won't stand it. What chance does a painter have to do good work for man who is continually nagging at him or otherwise capping him (without meaning it, do course)? A poor job is the inevitable result of such interference Poor painting costs the houseowner money—don't forget that. It might pay you to get the practical paint book, painting specifications and instrument for detecting paint adulterants, which National Lead Co. are offering under the title of House Owner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Address National Lead Co. 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City.

Unfortunately Expression That fruittual source of mirth, the metaphror, is ever with us. It illustrates on almost every appearance the truth of the saying that the sublime and the ridiculous are but a step apart. In a book on the laboring man, containing some excellent ideas, there appeared the following sentence: "What manner of woman is she who would turn her eyes toward other things, which would become ashes on her very lips."

FATHER HAD A GRIEVANCE Some Excuse for His Violent Assault on Managing Editor. Lina Cavalieri, the beautiful Roman prima donna, said recently of her "beauty parlor" in New York: "Beauty is woman's most important attribute. She who increases beauty is woman's greatest benefactor. Husbands, brothers, even fathers—In their inmost hearts beauty is the thing they desire most to see in their feminine relations." She laughed. "Only the other day," she said, "a gray, fat old gentleman entered a newspaper office and said: 'Are you the managing editor?' 'Yes,' was the reply. "I suppose that on you, then,' said the visitor, 'rests the responsibility for this morning's reference to my daughter Patty as Fatty. Take that!" DIDN'T REALIZE How Injurious Coffee Really Was. Many persons go on drinking coffee year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments. The drug-caffeine—In coffee and tea, is very like uric acid and is often the cause of rheumatic attacks which, when coffee is used habitually, become chronic. A Washington lady said, recently: "I am sixty-five and have had a good deal of experience with coffee, I consider it very injurious and the cause of many diseases. I am sure it causes decay of teeth in children. "When I drank coffee I had sick spells and still did not realize that coffee could be so harmful, till about a year ago I had rheumatism in my arms and fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep, and was all run down. "At last, after finding that medicines did me no good, I decided to quit coffee entirely and try Postum. After using it six months I fully recovered my health beyond all expectations, can sleep sound and my rheumatism is all gone." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

They are genuine, true, and full of human WHAT A FORMER OREGON FARMER THINKS OF WEST- ERN CANADA. Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Oregon, in Sept., 1994, for the great Canadian prairies. To quote from his letter: "I was greatly surprised to find such an immense stretch of rich virgin prairie still almost unoccupied in the very heart of North America. The splendid crops of oats, wheat, barley, potatoes and hay I beheld in the settlements made me very eager for a piece of this rich soil, and I soon located in the Goose Lake country. We have here a great stretch of the rich, deep clay loam of the Saskatchewan—a soil heavy and hard to break, but particularly well adapted for the retention of moisture and production of the bright No. 1 hard wheat, and great crops of oats, barley, flax and potatoes. I had 60 bushels of oats, weighing 441 lb, to the bushel, per acre. Some of my neighbors had still greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. We have all done well here, and I could name many Americans who came here with means to go ahead, who have done big already. For homesteads one has to go further west, but the best prize can be bought here for from $12.00 to $16.00 per acre. The climate is dry and healthy. This is the regular Saskatchewan fall weather—frosty nights, and bright, sunny days—ideal for threshing and hauling out of wheat. The trails are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams are moving towards the elevators. "The sight of it makes one stop and wonder what it will be in a few years when the immense prairies get under cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the exception here. Snow generally falls in December and goes off in March. It sometimes gets very cold, but the Saskatchewan farmer does not fear the cold. Winter is his season of rest. The first or second crop he builds a comfortable house for himself, and warm stables for his horses. He need not, like some, be poking about in the mud all winter attending a few beasts for a livelihood." ATTENUATED He—See, Samantha, that shows how terribly thin some folks are.

His mother cautioned him about eating many, fearing they would make him sick. Presently he came in, his hand on his stomach and a very distressed look in his face.
