Minister Furniss.
Dr. H. W. Furniss, American minister to Halif, who is a resident of Indianapolis, Ind., was in the United States on a vacation recently, and spent the last three weeks there. For eight years he was American consul at Bahia, Brazil, where he served with such distinction that he was promoted to his present position. He handled the affairs of our government ably during the recent revolution in Halif. Dr. Furniss seems to be much impressed with Halif. He has traveled all over the country and is thoroughly acquainted with the conditions existing there. He said:
"Haiti, from a standpoint of natural resources, is a very rich country, and

THE GAZETTE
usually furnished with much taste, the furniture usually coming from Paris. In addition to the houses mentioned, there are many built of brick, or brick and stone combined, with an idea of making them fireproof in case of a revolution. A fact which strikes a foreigner is the entire absence of window glass. Windows are closed by outside blinds, and the better houses have, in addition, inside blinds with slats. The windows are usually wide open during the day, and inside blinds are kept closed. Most of the cities have good water supplies, the water usually coming from springs in the mountains. None of the cities have in operation a street lighting service, though in two or three places plans for such are in course of erection. The better classes of people could not be distinguished from like classes elsewhere. The women follow the fashions, and the more generous have their dresses and their own carriages, while numerous carriages stand on the street corners for hire, and are well patronized. The country people dress very simply, in calco or other cotton goods, usually in bright colors or loud figures. The country people and the poorer classes of the cities live for the most part upon fruits, beans, rice and sweet potatoes, while the better classes eat about the same as like classes elsewhere, with the exception that they are part of the family. In other alcoholic drinks are cheap in Haiti, and though there is neither restriction nor license fee connected with the manufacture or sale of intoxicants, yet one seldom sees a drunken person. Practically everyone drinks alcohol in some form, and it is always offered to visitors. Haitiens have always stood high in French literature. There are numerous authors whose books are based in Paris, and there have been playwrights whose works have met with success in Paris. Pew people know that Alexander Dumas was of Haitian ancestry, and was proud of it. The Dumas estate is still in existence in Haiti.
THAT LOCAL OUTRAGE!
What the Manager, of the Grand
Theatre Has to Say Relative to it
—Appreciates Calling His
Attention to the
Matter.
Cleveland, O. July 9, 1909.
Manager Grand Theatre, East Ninth
Street, Chicago.
Street and Bolivar Road.
Dear Sir: Permit me to call your attention particularly the marked page, the current issue of our paper mailed to you on yesterday. That is a most distressing affair to which Mrs. Ina Perkins calls attention and I think you ought to know of it. It may be possible that no one has called your attention to it, since there seems to have been no usher or person in authority who witnessed the course and low-bred exhibition of himself. Of course, I know such things will happen in spite of all precaution taken to prevent them. They can be minimized, however, with the assistance of some one in authority. Many times, the mere presence of the latter is sufficient, and in all probability would have prevented the affair referred to.
Grand Theatre Manager's Reply.
Cleveland, O., July 10, 1999.
Editor Gazette — Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor (letter) of July 9th, calling my attention to the muckle of the facts, the facts as stated and while I was not at the Graud on the evening of July 5th, I found that it was impossible for me to get any clue to the incident. In cases of this kind, in order to get at the facts, it is always best to repeat them at once to the management, as it then gives us a chance to have the matter straightened out at once. We try to take care of all our patrons in the best possible manner that we know how, and if they will lend us their co-operation, we immediately any inattention, we are always more than willing to adjust same to their satisfaction.
Thanking you very kindly for calling
my attention to this, I am.
Yours very truly,

To Make Tea Cloth
A
Design in Outline in Old Blue on Gray Linen, with Fashionable Darned Background.
FTERNOON tea on the porch is graysh linen with outline stitch in one of the most pleasant features dark old blue, darning in lighter blue
possible on a summer day, and it is essential that the appointments of the tea table should be in keeping with the shady coolness of the porch. For this cloth, simple designs and materials of a rather rustic texture are the most effective, such as homepun linen, linen huckaback and crash. Among the most attractive of the tea cloths are those with the design outlined and the background filled in with darning stitch. Such a one is shown in the sketch. The water lily design is outlined with dark green floss, and the background filled in with a lighter shade of green—a delightfully leafy, silvery shade like June foliage. The material is natural color crash, and the Cluny lace edge is dyed to match the darker green in the embroidery.
Another equally pretty color scheme
BLUE SERGE COSTUME.
THE WEDDING COAT
Blue serge is very useful for costumes of this description. The skirt is quite plain, and is finished at the foot by a single row of stitching. White cloth is used for the collar and cuffs of the semi-fitting coat, which fastens down center of front by three large smoke-pearl buttons. Hat of straw, trimmed with a wreath of flowers and two quills. Materials required: Six yards serge 48 inches wide, one-fourth yard wide cloth, three buttons, four yards lining for coat.
Cravat with Double Ends.
If you have a strip or brown silk, taffeta or messaline, and a little silk in pretty contrasting color, such as acru, delicate green or blue, make one of the new cravats with double ends. These are cut like a man's string tie, but with a difference. A perfectly plain bias fold of the silk is used to go round the neck, but where it meets in front each end branches off into two parts, giving four ends in all. These ends are all lined with silk of a contrasting color. The effect when tied is very pretty. The cravat must not be less than a yard in length.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Tea Cloth
y Linen, with Fashionable Darned
round.
is grayish linen with outline stitch in dark old blue, darning in lighter blue, and the lace matching the darker shade.
One motif for the border and one half of the corner are given, to be traced on the linen by means of carbon paper and a hard lead pencil. ▲ plain, two-inch hem is put in, with a row of outline stitch five inches above it, and another row five inches from this, which forms the top of the border. Then the motifs are placed between the two rows, outlined, and the background filled in.
The cloth when completed should be one yard square, with a two-inch edge of lace for a finish. It is advisable to use a good grade of floss, so that it will not fade, and in washing it is well to put a good handful of table salt in the water to set the color. The cloth is quickly and easily made, and the result sure to be pleasing.
NOVELTY IN HOME AQUARIUM
One That Is Made with a Picture
Frame Front and Intended to
Hang on the Wall.
A novelty in balanced or self-sustaining home aquariums is made to hang up on the wall like a picture. The tank is oblong, narrow at the bottom, but wider at the top. The side to go against the wall is vertical, while the front slopes up outward, as a picture hangs, and this outer side is in fact surrounded with a picture frame.
The back and ends of this aquarium are inclosed in a metallic holder, with hooks at the top by which it may be hung, and at the back between this metallic holder and the back wall of the glass tank is inserted a picture, a landscape having at the bottom in the foreground a brook.
The bottom of the tank is covered with gravel, and set in the water is suitable vegetation sufficient to please the eye and to keep the water aerated, and then of course there are the fishes, and when you have it thus stocked you hang this aquarium up on the wall to have the effect of a picture with fishes swimming around in it.
Water.
Are you forgetting to drink the proper amount of water every day?
Do you drink two glasses before breakfast?
You should.
But by all that is hygienic do not take your water until your mouth has been rinsed with an antiseptic and your teeth thoroughly cleansed.
People who know tell us that an acid forms during the night in the mouth and around the teeth. This acid will decay the teeth, therefore common sense tells us it is not good for the stomach; it certainly should not be washed down there deliberately anyway.
But a cool bath for the average stomach is a tonic just as it is for the body. Try it.
To Improve the Neck.
To fatten the neck massage with warm olive oil. A good cold cream is excellent, but the best results are obtained with the olive oil. To apply this first wash the neck with warm water and a mild, pure soap, then rinse carefully and apply a cloth or flannel wring out of hot water and folded several times. This compress is kept on until it begins to cool, and then another is supplied, but do not prolong the treatment more than ten minutes. This softens the skin and opens the pores. The oil, slightly warmed, should be rubbed in, giving especial attention to the hollows, which should be massaged with a firm rotary motion.

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.
Dr. H. W. Furmiss' article on our first page to-day is one of the very best statements anent Haiti and its people we have ever read. It will repay you for a careful reading, for it contains much information all of our readers should be in possession of.
We are indebted to Dr. Booker T. Washington for a copy of the Birmingham (Ala.) Dally News of July 3, 1909, containing a splendid write-up (well illustrated) of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and Industrial school, of which he is founder, principal and promoter.
About the biggest thing in connection with the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, is its banquet, a mighty expensive luxury, when one remembers the tremendous outlay of cash by the delegates in railroad fare, board and lodging expense, etc.
The U. S. commission to Liberia has returned to this country and its recommendations for the relief and assistance of the little African republic are being awaited with some impatience. Few people seem to have any definite idea as to what this country can do and is at all likely to do.
The attorney general of the United States is making an effort to wind up the afaira of the long defunct Freedman's Savings Bank. It failed during the financial panic of 1873 and owed, at that time, $2,939,925.22 to 61,131 depositors. Under a federal commission dividends aggregating 62 per cent have been declared, and of this $1,648,181.72 has been claimed. This leaves $1,291,744.00 still unpaid.
What has become of the "loyal Taft Negro Republican" and "the black bread and butter brigade" (federal office-holders at Washington, D.C.)? They made considerable noise during the national campaign last fall, and this year, until in recent weeks. Has the president's fully developed and infamous "southern policy"—his failure to appoint a single Afro-American to office and his letting out of more than 500 Afro-American federal office-holders in the south since the fourth of March last—finally squelched them? It seems so. Well, "we told you so" last fall and even prior to that time.
The northwest is an open field for the reliable and industrious Afro-American. Within a few weeks there will be thrown open to settlers 750,000 acres of government homestead lands, located in Montana, Idaho, Washington, known as the Flathead, Coeur d'Alene, and Spokane Indian Reservation. Prospective Homesteaders may register at Kalipeh, Mont., Coeur d'Alene, Ida., and Spokane, Wash., until August 5. The drawings occur a little later on, when one may likely become the possessor of 160 acres of good government land homestead land.
WE ARE GOING BACKWARD.
President Taft's effort to bring about a better understanding between the north and the south, evidently is producing results. Atlantic City, N. J., has established a "Jim Crow" bathing beach—Chicago Journal, July 12. This sarcasm is well deserved. Whenever you give wrong the little finger, it takes the whole hand, like the devil in the German proverb. Taft's wrong policy (his new "southern policy"), morally a support for prejudice, does not work for righteousness.
THE RACE STRUGGLE FOR WORK.
"First-class white people, north and south, have ever been friendly towards our people, but God deliver us from the lower grades of whites—the trash." This is the opinion of a Negro, writing from Georgia to The Gazette, of Cleveland, a loyal paper of his own race. The quotation is preceded by a description of a brutal attack by a white mob upon a Negro locomotive fireman during the recent railroad strike in Georgia, from which a white woman of what the writer calls the "first-class" had protected the Negro. It is doubtless true that the brutally cruel treatment of the Negro by some whites at the south comes from what the writer we quote "trash." The aristocratic element are, as a rule, kind to individual Negroes, whatever their views may be of the proper status of the Negro as a class; and equally, as a rule, the poor white working class are apt to be brutally cruel. An instance in point is furnished in this Georgia strike. The white firemen struck to compel the railroad to stop giving Negro firemen better firing work on the basis of
greater length of service; and its ultimate object was very likely to exclude Negroes from that kind of service altogether. The sympathy of the working whites of Georgia was with the strikers in this controversy, while that of the aristocratic whites was with the Negroes. This fact alone is strong confirmation of the contention we have frequently made, that the race question at the south, while influenced by tradition, is at bottom a labor question. If jobs were not scarce in Georgia, the white locomotive firemen would have no incentive to exclude Negroes from that kind of work. But when jobs are scarce, individual fights individual for what jobs there are, and class fights class; and if class lines coincide with race lines, then race fights race. It would be so at the north. It would be so anywhere. It would be the same if the class line were religious, and even if it were a sex line instead of a class line. We might add that precisely as the race question at the south is a labor question, so the labor question there is a land question. If the unused and poorly used land of Georgia were held upon a tenure that made its owners keen to put it to its best use. And it cannot not be scarce. And not it quite natural—human naturally and have no incentive to use it to its best, they shall hold it out of its best use, don't they restrict the demand for work is restricted, aren't jobs scarce? And when jobs are scarce don't men who live by work, scramble for employment? And when there are two distinct races, divided by social lines, among the workers, isn't the scramble certain to generate a race war? And in this race war isn't it also quite human naturally natural—Anglo-Saxonly (composite) natural at any rate—that they who are in the midst of the life and death struggle for employment shall be brutal toward those of the "inferior" race, while the leisure class, personally unaffected by the bitterness of the fight whichever way it may go, are kind? We condemn nobody for this. We excuse nobody. We merely state a broad fact of human experience, and suggest a responsibility which no one of either race can safely evade—Chicago Public.
MORE MONEY FOR BIG DITCH
Forty-Eight Million Dollars Will Be Needed for Digging Panama Canal During Year 1911.
Washington, D. C. — Forty-eight million dollars will be needed by the Isthmian Canal commission to carry on the work of digging the Panama canal during the fiscal year 1911, according to estimates which have been received by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, who prepares an annual book of estimates of appropriations to be submitted to congress.
The appropriation for the current year was $33,638,000. During the present fiscal year contracts will be made for the delivery next year of large quantities of structural steel material necessary in the construction of the gate of the locks to the canal.
Murder or Suicide Pact?
Grand Rapids, Mich.—Escaping gas led to the finding of the dead bodies of Warren C. Rolland, 29, and his wife in a house in which they had recently conducted a rooming house but from which they had removed nearly all of their effects. There were indications of blood stains around the room but the bodies were so badly decomposed that it was difficult to determine whether the woman had been murdered by her husband or whether they had united in a death pact.
Price on Rubber Tires Goes Up.
New York City.—In view of the increased cost of manufacture, the price of crude rubber having doubled within the last three months, the American tire makers have issued a circular to automobile manufacturers and dealers, announcing an advance of from 15 to 25 per cent in all tires.

ITS ORIGIN AND GROWTH
SPLENDIDLY WRITTEN HISTORY OF WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY.
BY PROF. W. S. SCARBOROUGH
President of the Institution—Many Very Prominent Men Were Trustees and Members of Its Faculty—Bishops Daniel A.
HON. ROBERT E. McKISSON,
and Southwest planters. Then came the Civil War, and the school was broken up by withdrawal of its students and inability for further support. Then the opportunity of the A. M. E. church came in the offer made to it of the property for $10,000. It was settled by prayer and faith when Bishop Payne solemnly took it for the church. The articles of association in this reorganization of the university bear the signatures of Daniel A. Payne, James A. Shorter, John G. Mitchell, Daniel Blackburn (mark), and Robert Nicholas (mark).
The signatures of both articles are taken from certified copies of the originals, obtained by the writer but recently from the authorities. As soon as this was done steps were completed to effect the sale of the "Union Seminary farm," which had lived a precarious existence all these years, and after it hit the university. Thus the actual beginning of 1847 saw a new birth in 1863.
The Next Mayor of Cleveland—Fact as to Him and County Recorder Herman C. Baehr.
Before and after he was elected the first time seven years ago. County Recorder Hermann Baehr, who has about 40 male and female clerks and copyists in his office, was asked by the editor of the Gazette to appoint one of our young men and one of our young women to positions in his office as a clerk and copyist, respectively. This was a modest request considering the fact that the Afro-American voters of this county constitute practically one-fourth of its total Republican vote. This entitles us to four positions in the recorder's office instead of two. For seven long years, in spite of the fact that he has a representative of nearly every other class or race of people in the community, in his office as clerks and copyists, Recorder Baehr has steadfastly refused to appoint any member of our race to any position within his gift, and now comes forward as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, begging us for votes. The duty of every self and race-respecting Afro-American in this community is perfectly clear as far as Mr. Baehr's latest candidacy is concerned.
Hon. Robert E. McKisson, when mayor of the city, appointed more Afro-Americans to position than any other Republican mayor in the history of Cleveland. This is a well-known and generally recognized FACT. Then too, he is the only member of the party who, as mayor, has had any opportunity to make a record on the street car question (the burning issue of the campaign) which commends him to the masses of the people of this city. In point of ability and as a campaigner, he is recognized by all men, well acquainted with him and Mr. Baehr, as being greatly the latter's superior. His platform, which he announced recently, is one of the very best things that any candidate for office in the city of Cleveland has ever issued, and has commended his candidacy, for the Republican nomination for mayor this fall, to the great masses of Republicans and intelligent people generally, in the strongest possible manner. It is certainly an exceptionally strong and concise statement, showing unmistakably an exceptional familiarity with municipal affairs, and a most commendable determination to do those things most needed by Greater Cleveland and in the shortest possible time, if nominated and re-elected to the position of mayor this fall. And, that is exactly what we expect to see done because of the phenomenal growth in popularity of his candidacy within the week.
If Mayor Tom Johnson is to be defeated in November, the Republicans of this community must be led by a fearless and sterling campaigner, a man whose exceptional knowledge of municipal affairs, and whose record on the burning issue of the campaign, are such as to commend him to the masses of the people of this city. Such a man, is ex-Mayor Robert E. McKisson.
Jack Johnson has a hard time keeping out of jail long enough to get his meals regularly. Jack is being arrested for almost everything wherever he goes. In Boston they've been suing him for $2500 to $2,500. If he leaves his automobile at a curb he's arrested instantly for obstructing the street, and if he starts the thing and moves away along the road he's arrested for "speeding." There are scores of cops in fully for Johnson's return. He'd be arrested for "speeding" if he was trundling a wheelbarrow.

ITS ORIGIN AND GROWTH
SPLENDIDLY WRITTEN HISTORY
OF WILBERFORCE UNI-
VERSITY.
President of the Institution—Many Very Prominent Men Were Trustees and Members of Its Faculty—Bishops Daniel A. Payne and B. F. Lee—"Tawawa Springs."
Willberforce University may be said to have three beginnings. As far back as 1833 the youngest of the conferences in the A. M. E. church, the Ohio or Pittsburg, uttered a word in favor of education. This was followed by other
P
conferences, and in 1838 the Ohio conference required discourses annually on education. By 1843 the requirement was made of all local ministers. Then in 1844 a plan was formed by which a committee from the Ohio conference was to select a tract of land and establish a "manual door Plan," and to educate young for the ministry. It crystallized in 1845, when the committee appointed reported as having selected a location twelve miles west of Columbus, Ohio, costing $1,700. The purchase was made, and thus "Union Seminary," as it was named, was the first school for colored pupils in this country. It was opened in 1847 with Rev. J. M. Brown, and in 1848 with Rev. M. M. E. Watkins Harper, as teachers. This was the germ of the real beginning of Wilberforce University.
It was in 1853 that a decisive movement began in the Cincinnati conference of the M. E. church, looking to the education of the colored people. A committee recommended "the establishment of a school for a 19th order in the West for the more effectual training of distinguished usefulness," but more especially to "prepare a sufficient number of teachers, male and female, to supply their schools with competent and well-trained teachers wherever colored may be needed." The report recognized and qualified ministers and teachers among the colored people, and we can think of no better plan than this to supply the lamentable deficiency. It is probable the number of colored people in our midst will greatly increase, hence the greater necessity of increasing the number of colored ministers and teachers to educate and train the race in a proper manner."
In this movement Rev. John F. Wright was chairman of the committee, and later became the general agent for the conference to take the first steps for a college for colored students. The State Department, 1855, the committee authorized the general agent to negotiate with the owners of certain "Xenia Springs property," as being the most eligible location for such an institution. When negotiations seemed about to fall, Mrs. Judge McClean exerted her influence, and the state commissioner, county, Ohio, about three and one-half miles from Xenia, including 53 acres, with a large frame building and several cottages, was purchased for $13,500. It had been fitted up for a fashionable watering place, midway between Cincinnati and Columbus, at a cost. In the report this clause is found:
"It has been stated already that a most desirable location and buildings have been procured, which will, in a short time, be ready for occupancy. The project is regarded with great favor by all the prominent friends of the institution, and the committee have been ascertained, and the committee are informed, upon reliable authority, that the colored people themselves, especially in the neighborhood where the institution is located, are delighted with the enterprise. It has also attracted the attention of some students, and the committee have slaves whom they wish to emancipate and educate, and two such slaves have been emancipated already and are now in Xenia awaiting the opening of the school. It will probably be necessary to place the institution under the superintendence of a letter of recommendation by the design is to make it emphatically a colored people's college."
The enterprise was carried through by the exertions particularly of two parties, Messrs. Wright and French. The 24th of May, 1856, saw the matter closed, and Wm. Wood, John Elstner and W. B. Smith & Co. had faith and humanitarianism enough to endorse the necessary note to meet the conditions on time.
It was on the 30th of August of the same year that at Tawawa Springs "Wilberforce University" was organized and constituted by corporate by C. L. Merick, P. T. S. Towles, M. French, M. D. Gatch, A. Lowery, M. D.ustin, P. Merrick, Uriah Heath, M. Dubois, John Poffo, Bishop Daniel A. Payne, Wm. Moore—all white but D. A. Payne.
A board of trustees was elected and organized in the office of Lawyer M. D. Gatch in Xenia, Ohio—then a senator in the state legislature. Of the 24 members four were colored, Mr. Ishmael Keith of the Baptist church, Rev. Lewis Woodson, Mr. Alfred Anderson, a member of the congregation of the A. M. E. church at Hammelville, M. D. E. church at 20 white members, one was Gov. Chase of Ohio, who became Secretary of the United States Treasury and later Justice. The first president was Rev. Prof. Merrick, but he did not serve at the school. Rev. M. P. Gaddis, Jr., was the first teacher, who, with his wife, served six months, when Prof. James K. Parker took charge for two years. On his retirement and Prof. Merrick's declination of the presidency, Rev. Richard S. Unger, elected in 1858 and entered upon active service. He in later years was the leading secretary of the Freedman's Aid society and a friend of the school till his death, about two years ago.
For five years the work went on, Bishop Payne lived upon the campus from the first and had much of the actual care and control of the institution. The full story of these years I fear is lost to history, save as it is found in the diaries of Bishop Payne. The school catalogue of 59-60 showed 207 students, the majority of whom were the natural children of South
and Southwest planters. Then came the Civil War, and the school was broken up by withdrawal of its students and inability for further support. Then the opportunity of the A. M. E. church came in the offer made to it of the property for $10,000. It was settled by prayer and faith when Bishop Pawle solemnly took it for a mission. The articles of association in this reprint are the university bear the signatures of Daniel A. Payne, James A. Shorter, John G. Mitchell, Daniel Blackburn (mark), and Robert Nicholas (mark). The signatures of both articles are taken from certified copies of the originals, obtained by the writer but recently from the authorities. As soon as this was done steps were completed to effect the sale of the "Union Seminary farm," which had lived a precarious existence all these years, and to merge it into the university. And in 1847 saw a new birth in 1882.
Bishop Payne was the first president and Prof. John G. Mitchell became the first teacher. From the first, Bishop Payne sought for the best, and the university has had associated with it many men and women of name and worth, of education. They came from Amherst, from Mt. Holyoke and Oswego State Normal, but principally from Oberlin, which furnished the largest number in Prof. Mitchell. Rev. Henry C. Fry, Prof. John Smith, Prof. B. K. Sampson, Mrs. Maltyb, and Miss Anna came from Mt. Hoyoke and H. J.
Neither time nor space will permit the detailed account of the years; but all went well until 1865, when the buildings were fired by an incendion while the school was in Xenia at the celebration of the fall of Richmond. Miss Esther T. Malbty of Oberlin, a goodly, brave woman, was there alone, and the trials so broke down her health that she was forced to leave. She still lives and works for God's poor as a missionary in Macedonia under the American Board. But the building arose again by the efforts of Bishop Payne and earnest friend² and struggled on. It grew as well. Rev. J. H. Jones, the missionary, succeeded to the presidency in 1870. He was in turn succeeded by Prof. S. T. Mitchell in 1884, who resigned in 1900, and laid down his earthly labors in the following year. He was succeeded by Rev. Dr. J. H. Jones, who held the position until 1908. The writer succeeded him.
"Tawawa Springs" in 1855 was made up of 53 acres of land, finely timbered and watered by mineral springs, with frame cottages, summer houses of distinguished people, lining the approach to the main frame building, and a school. Its theological and classical departments were opened in 1866, its scientific in 1867, and its normal in 1872. In 1891 Payne Seminary was purchased and the theological department took on enlargement, with its first departmental faculty, Bishop Priolean and Prof. W. S. Scarborough. In 1887 the State of Ohio reached out its arm to assist the university, and, because we were deprived as a school of a share in the land grant for education in the state, it exerted itself to give us what aid it could legally by supporting the normal and industrial schools, which was given to Ohio State University, because no distinction was made there on account of color.
Over 50 years have passed. We have grown. Wilberforce University stands to-day with these three great departments, aside from the military, which is supported by the national government. The classes includes classical and scientific courses, music and art, and preparatory work. It covers now with five large brick buildings, including a Carnegie library, and 15 classrooms, brick and frame, power houses, barns, workshops, and homes for teachers. There are 32 members in the faculty, and to the higher work already named has been added a business and typewriting course and 11 working industries, with several others yet to be added.
Wilberforce stands for the highest education of brain, heart and hand. It is located so as to carry on all with no hampering conditions, turning out young men and women with a full all-around equipment, who are brought under a social environment unique and unusual, found in a cultured community of Negroes who own their own equipment, raised in a higher living that is a constant inspiration to the young. Wilberforce University is at a point in its career where it should be fostered to the utmost as the great institution for higher education for the church and race. It can easily draw to it those who come from preparatory courses of other schools. The endowment it is built upon raises a sense of pride. With the loyalty of the alumni, the encouragement of the entire church, and the union of endeavor among all concerned, the school has a great future before it. It celebrated in February its Founders' Day (the twenty-fourth) with an enthusiasm and interest never before witnessed. With that interest spreading throughout the connection as it should for the oldest Negro school of the country, the school has a history there is no question about its enlarged future usefulness and growth.

ANTI - PROHIBITIONISTS WIN
Local Option Fight in Bristol, Va., One of the Hottest of the Kind in the South.
Bristol, Va.—By the narrow majority of 32 out of a total of the 840 votes polled, the anti-prohibitionists won the local option election held here, following one of the most hotly contested campaigns of its kind known in the south. Pandemonium reigned in that part of Bristol which lies in Tennessee as well as in the half which has declared for the sale of liquor after a two years drouth. Preparations are already being made for opening saloons and wholesale houses for supplying not only the immediate territory but that of the dozen nearby prohibition states.

Speaker Cannon refused to appoint as a confeerate on the tariff, Representative Hill, who was chosen by President Taft. By a vote of 317 to 14, all of those opposing being Republicans, the house adopted a resolution submitting the income question to state legislatures for a constitutional amendment. President Taft officiated at the ceremonies attending the corner-stone laying for the new Ingram Congregational church in Washington. Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, in a report to President Taft, pointed out the lack of unity in the waterway systems of the United States. One of the Republican senators who voted against the tariff bill said President Taft asked him to do it so as to strengthen his hand in the fight for revision downward. The tariff bill reached the house from the senate and then was sent to conference where it may be completed in ten days.
The senate passed the tariff bill by a vote of 45 to 34, ten Republicans voting against it and one Democrat for it. Representative Rodenberg of Illinois introduced a bill in the house providing the death penalty for kidnapping in the District of Columbia.

Do You Want a Nice Baby?
General Agent A. B. Williams of the Humane society, 406 City Hall, Cleveland, O. has sent the following letter to the editor of The Gazette:
"I wonder if, through your paper, you could help us in placing a little Colored child for adoption. The child is a girl, born in December, and is one of the most attractive babies I have seen for some time. She is legally in our possession; so if we could find a family which, on investigation, would prove to be the right sort of child to take a child for adoption it up, we could turn it over to adoption. The child, I am sure, would brighten and cheer a home where there is a real desire on the part of the parents for a baby. If you can be of any assistance in the matter, it will be greatly appreciated by us."

MORE PINKHAM CURES
Added to the Long List due to This Famous Remedy.
Camden, N.J.—"It is with pleasure that I add my testimonial to your already long list—hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of this valuable medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Ve getable Company. I suffered from terribly headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Ve getable Company stored me to health
this valuable medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham Compound. I suffered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so we wanted to stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound restored me to health and made me feel like a new person, and it shall always have my praise." Mrs. S.A. W. W. BAYNE, 692 Lincoln Avenue, Camden, N.J. Gardiner, Me. — "I was a great sufferer from a female disease. The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound completely cured me in three months." — Mrs. S.A. W. W. BAYNE, R.F. D. No. 14, Box 39, Gardiner Me.
Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases or female ills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, infections, pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and nervous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it, and the result is worth millions to many suffering women.
STOPPED HER SONG OF JOY.
Slight Forgetfulness That Marred the Full Appreciation of the Welcome Rain.
"Isn't that a lovely shower!" exclaimed Mrs. Randall to her friend in the parlor as they gazed out on the sudden doorbell.
"Yes we need it so badly."
Yes, we need it so easily.
"Need it? I should say we did. It's a God-send! Why, our golden glows, hyacinths and roses out in the back yard are shrinking for the want of rain. The sprinkler can't take the place of rain, you know."
"Indeed it."
"Oh, I tell you this is just lovely! See how it pours! And to think that just when everything threatens to dry up and every one is praying for rain nature answers these appeals and sends us beautiful—Good heavens!"
"What's the matter?"
"I've left the baby out in the yard!"
—The Circle.
NO TIME LIKE THE PRESTNT.
"Why, Mrs. Jones, what are you doing out in all this rain?"
"Oh, I just ran out to buy an umbrella!"
Some ladies were visiting at Blanche's home one day. During the conversation, while the visitors were there, one of the ladies was describing how the blowflies laid eggs and they hatched out as maggots. Four-year-old Blanche did not seem to be interested in the conversation nor pay any attention to what they had been talking about. After the visitors had gone, Blanche said:
"Mamma, I don't believe files lay eggs."
"Why?" asked the surprised mother.
"Because I never heard one cackle," explained the doubting Blanche.

BRICKS, IRON SLAG AND CLUBS FLEW
EMPLOYES OF PRESSED STEEL
CAR CO.'S PLANT AT McKEES
ROCKS, PA., STRIKE.
POOLING SYSTEM THE CAUSE
Six Persons Are Wounded, Two Fatally, and Fifteen Seriously Injured—Trouble Came as
Pittsburgh, Pa.—Six wounded, two fatally, and fifteen seriously injured by flying bricks, iron sigal and clubs sups up the result of the first day's "surprise strike" by the men employed in the Pressed Steel Car Co.'s plant at McKees Rocks. The rioting, starting shortly after noon and continuing until late at night, came without much apparent reason or preparation on either side.
The striking men, composing for the greater part the foreign element of McKees Rocks, claim that since a pooling system of pay has been introduced they have been receiving less pay for the same number of hours they worked previous to the change. On the other hand the Pressed Steel Car Co. claim they are paying higher wages than before the pool wage system was in effect and are willing to open their books for public inspection to prove their assertion. The men employed by the Pressed Steel Car Co. are not members of any particular union or organization.
Following the striking of about half the force of the Pressed Steel Car Co.'s employees at McKees Rocks near here early in the morning the entire plant was closed down at noon immediately after which rioting commenced between 2,000 strikers and those employees that had remained at work. When the first of the workers reached the outer gates of the plant they were attacked by strikers armed with pieces of slag, iron and other missiles and special watchmen stationed there commenced to fire revolvers over the heads of the crowd. One man was struck by a bullet and slightly wounded and another arrested. He was rescued by friends and the watchman was compelled to flee for his life.
Several thousand strikers gathered about the gates of the company during the afternoon and fights and rioting continued. More than a hundred were more or less seriously injured by the strikers, and only the arrival of a sheriff's deputy and a squad of special officers prevented serious trouble when the night force started to work
VON BUELOW LEAVES OFFICE
Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg Is Now Chancellor of the German Empire—Other Changes Made.
Berlin.—Prince Von Buelow, chancellor of the empire, has retired from office and was succeeded by Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg. The latter was succeeded by Herr Delbrueck as minister of the interior and vice chancellor; Herr Sydow, secretary of the imperial treasury, has been appointed to the department of commerce, while Herr Wermuth, under secretary of the interior, is the new secretary of the treasury. Herr Von Trott Zu Solz, president of the province of Brandenburg, succeeds Ludwig Holle, Prussian minister of public instruction, who has retired on account of ill health. Various other minor changes have been made, after conferences which the emperor had with his ministerial advisers.
The emperor, departing from all court traditions, transacted the business pertaining to the change of chancellors with the broadest publicity during three hours for all Berlin to see. His majesty received Prince Von Beulow upon a small garden terrace between the palace and an arm of the Spree in view of a great crowd of spectators who had gathered on Electors bridge, some 50 or 60 yards away, and in Burgstrasse on the other side of the narrow stream.
Crew Attacked: Three Missing
Buffalo, N. Y.-About thirty men, believed to be marine strikers from Buffalo, attacked the crew of the steamer John J. Boland, moored at the dock of the Wickwire Steel Co. between here and Tonawanda. There was a stiff fight between the invaders and the crew, during which, it is said, two men fell overboard. When the decks were cleared it was found that three of the crew were missing.

President Taft's Willful Misinterpretation of Little Girl's Intended Haughty Rebuke.
President Taft is fond of children, with whom he is a favorite. A charming story on this head comes from Cincinnati.
Once, when a pretty Cincinnati girl was a child of six or seven, Mr. Taft calling at her house, found nobody home excepting herself. She entertained him a little while, and when he rose to go, he stooped down and kissed her.
"Here's one," he said, "for the baby. Here is another for little Jim. And here is a third for Billie-boy."

TRUE RESIGNATION.
Old Maid—Is it really true that marriages are made in heaven?
Doctor—Yes, I believe so.
Old Maid (resignedly)—O, then, doctor, you needn't call again.
The Courier-Journal tells of this embarrassing statement made by a well-known Louisville woman who is known as "saying things without thinking." Her daughter was enter your room on the front porch and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over a year old, and it was trying to walk. "You shouldn't let it walk so young," advised the thoughtless matron. "Wait until it's a little older. I let my daughter walk when she was about that age, and it made her bow-legged." The young man began to talk energetically about the weather.
Sex in Cromwells.
Of course with the sexes on a footing of equality as regarded opportunity, it would not be long until a female Cromwell made her appearance, and, having made her appearance, was getting her portrait painted.
The painter, once more a fawning, courtly fellow, would have the picture a flattery; but she rebuked him in words that became historic!
"Paint in the hips!" she commanded, sternly, showing that she could be more rigidly devoted to the truth than Oliver himself.—Puck.
Next Best.
A certain young minister in Philadelphia, recently ordained, is still very nervous and sometimes his remarks do not convey exactly the meaning he intended. A few Sundays ago he rose, fumbled with the papers on his desk, blushed, and then said:
"My Friends: 1—I am sorry to say that I have lost the notes for my sermon, and I therefore cannot deliver it. I will have to do the next best thing, therefore, and read a few chapters from the Bible!"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine.
ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food,
The story of the great discoveries or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdiness and marked activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in piks, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a reason."

Puts Blame Up to Owners.
Following a series of fatalities in New York, Judge Swann has laid down a rule of law which may help to fix the public regulation of automobile traffic. "The law presumes," said the judge, "that when an owner puts in his machine a reckless chauffeur he knows the ordinary act the man is going to commit."
Sticky Literature.
"Honestly, I believe 'The Kissers' is about the most sentimental novel I have ever read."
"You don't say so."
"Yes, indeed. A page torn out of that book would make first-class fly paper."
Possible Reason.
Puck-I wonder what caused the Hon. Thomas Rott to resign from the legislature?"
"Maybe he feared the Society for the Suppression of Useless Noises would turn its attention to his case if he ulcered."

"Here's one," he said, "for the baby. Here is another for little Jim. And here is a third for Billie-boy."
The little girl, drawing herself up, said haughtily—she had been reading a novel:
"Mr. Taft, you forget yourself!"
He bent down again.
"So I did," he laughed. "Well, here's one for myself!"

Delay is dangerous. Alonzo Adams, Osceola, Iowa, says: "My kidneys failed me. I suffered awful pain and was so weak I could not work, and often had to take to bed. I was dull and exhausted nearly all the time. I consulted doctors and used medicines, but only Doan's Kidney Pills helped me. Soon I was permanently cured." Remember the name—Doan's.

DREADEFUL DANDRUFF.
Girl's Head Encrusted—Feared Loss of All Her Hair—Baby Had Milk-Crust—Missionary's Wife Made
Two Perfect Cures by Cuticura.
"For several years my husband was a missionary in the Southwest. Every one in that high and dry atmosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughter's scalp became so encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair. After trying various remedies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a complete success. I have also used successfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head. Cuticura is a blessing. Mrs. J. A. Darling, 310 Fifth St, Carthage, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1908."

The Happiest
In the smoking-room of the Finland, discussing a June wedding, Andrew Carnegie said: "And thank goodness it wasn't an international marriage, though the bride did have 18 millions. "Not," appended Mr. Carnegie, "that I object to international marriages wherein the two parties are good and honorable and well matched. But so many of these marriages are like one that a Boston cynic described to me. "Was it a happy marriage? I asked this Bostonian. "Oh, quite," said he. "The bride was happy, her mother was overjoyed. Lord Lacland was in ecstacles, and his creditors, I understand, were in a state of absolutely delirious and uncontrollable bliss."
The Same Old John L.
Old John L. Sullivan always had a fine Irish wilt, and it remains with him in his advanced age. Not long ago he was appearing in a Baltimore theater and the manager, for business reasons, introduced him to a wealthy youth of the town. The youth was a typical Chollyboy, the sort of a spectator that old John abhors. Sullivan was washing his face in the theater dressing room when the two arrived, and they waited patiently until he had finished his ablutions. When John had dried his countenance he gave the dude one look, and then said to the manager: "Well, I congratulate you, Jack, is it a boy or a girl?"
Let's Be Fair.
The wires have flashed the news that a "peach basket" hat worn by a woman in a canoe, and rendered lopsided by the carless zephyr, caused a list and overturned the craft. At this point the correspondent, evidently male and prejudiced, stopped short. If he wished to be fair he should have gone on to tell that the occupants of the boat grasped the hat, climbed aboard of it, and until their rescue fared sumptuously on the fruit and garden truck which constituted a part of its artistic decoration. The true news expert never is biased—Philadelphia Ledger.
The Ins and Outs of It.

"Not a crop failure in 18 years."
"Can raise more here than on Eastern land costing five times as much."
"Came here 4 years ago with $800; now have $4,500 in bank;"—Said of Panhandle and South Plains Country.
"Built me a house and broke about forty acres of land the first year, then I had enough left to winter thirty-five head of cattle and horses. The second year had 120 acres of buildings and wintered forty-five head of stock. The fourth crop is not yet harvested, except the potatoes and meadow to buy me about $400, and expect to get about $1,000 out of the balance of the crop, besides wintering my stock.
"I now have 165 acres in cultivation. I raise wheat, oats, June corn, milo and wheat, and I am ready to bring all cotton, and all kinds of vegetables. I came here with $800 and could make my check out now for $4,500."

Mother Bird Drove Boy Away.
People on Main street, Dallastown, Pa., witnessed an amusing sight the other morning, when a curious small boy who climbed into a maple tree for a closer inspection of a nest of young robins was put to flight by an angry mother bird. Discovered by the old bird after he had clambered into the tree the youngster was savagely attacked. The bird pecked viciously at his bare hands and face, causing him to retreat to the ground, and then driving him home.
Hospitals a Benefit to Property
The National association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has recently concluded an investigation, which shows that 67.5 per cent of the tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals of the United States have been a benefit to the property and health of the communities in which they are located. In the case of more than 62 per cent of the sanatoria the presence of the institutions has helped to increase the assessed value of surrounding property.
