TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 10. Autumn Costumes The costume at the left is of soft cloth in a "dregs of wine" shade, trimmed with a heavy raised embroidery in the same shade. This embroidery simulates a bolero and trims the underskirt. The princess tulle is ornamented at the bottom with buttons and forms a sort of tabier attached on each side to a girdle of the material, the rounded ends of which are fastened with buttons. The yoke is of white lace bordered on each side with a band of taffeta or liberty. The other costume is of plum-colored taffeta or cloth. It forms a princess tunic with little sleeves and is turned up at the bottom. It is ornamented in front with straps of cord and passementerle buttons, and is finished around the neck and sleeves with a cord embroidery. The undersleeves are of Irish lace colored to match the gown, and the little chemisette is of white tucked tulle. The lower part of the skirt is gathered at the top and set on underneath the tunic, forming a deep flounce. IL VOLUNTARIO PRESENTE Autumn The costume at the left is of a trimmed with a heavy raised embroidered simulates a bolero and trims the underside of the neck.

The undersleeves are of Irish lace little chemisette is of white tucked turtled at the top and set on underneath. YOUNG GIRL'S PARTY Cream sorge costumes are always so nice, and this would be a smart style in which to make one. The skirt is made with a seam up the left side of front, it is wrapped and stitched twice, and has silk-covered buttons sewn on the inside. The semi-fitting coat fastens on the bust with buttons and cords, braid to match is put twice round the entire coat, and also edges the sleeves. Hat of white straw, trimmed with a wreath of flowers. Materials required: Six and one-half yards serge 48 inches wide, seven yards braid, two dozen buttons, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards coat lining. Girl's Preparedness Girls Preparefulness. There is something very pittable about a girl. She wears calico, but talks knowingly about the latest styles in silks. Her home is furnished plainly, but she knows the latest styles in furniture; she knows how the silverware should be arranged at dinners, the latest stitch for the marking of monograms on the finest table damask, the etiquette to be observed at a dinner, a reception or a ball, although she never attended anything more than a neighborhood party in her life. Her father's monthly income is not as large as the pin money a rich girl would spend in a day, but she knows what the rich girl should wear and buy to be in touch with the times. She is, in short, prepared at any time to marry a rich man and become a society leader.—Atchison Globe. Mary Children's Clothes Mark Children's Clothes. Buy a five-cent bolt of white linen tape; cut in small pieces and write a child's name on each piece. Paste their names written in black ink on white pieces, inside each overshoe, gloves, mitten and cap, and as a result the children's garments never get mixed up or lost at school or church. THE GAZETTE CHARACTER REVEALED BY HAT The Observant Can Tell at a Glance What Manner of Person Is Wearing it. That there is any character to be displayed in the choice and manner of wearing a hat will doubtless be a revelation to many girls. But a girl who is at all observing can tell from the hat another woman wears what manner of person it is with whom she is dealing. There is a little round black hat, with scarcely any attempt at trimming, except a flat, black bow. This hat is sure to be worn by a little old maid, one who is sweetened rather than soured by her single lot. She is one who is absorbed in other people's children. A simple little toque worn with a veil indicates the girl of great common sense. Nothing especially startling or original about her. Just a good sort. The girl who chooses a hat with abrupt angles, who always has wings or stiff, conventional trimming on her hats, and who never wears flowers, is another kind altogether. You may always know her to be determined, independent, and if given half a chance, she will be domineering. There is a sort of soft, elusive, feathery kind of creation that is worn by some women. A man would say she was distinctly feminine, womanly in all she did. But she is more than this—she is subtle, elusive and charming. She is the girl all men think they would like to marry, but there are not enough of this sort to go round. Bed Coverings. As fall advances and the country wife is preparing her house for the cooler days, she will find an excellent substitute for filmy swiss and net coverings upon her bed in cotton taffeta. It can be purchased in pretty colors and finished with a flounce of the same material. One can applique immense flower motifs to the cover should a color be desired. There are flower patterns in cretonne that greatly resemble Bierdermier and they look artistic on cotton taffeta. The latest cover is perfectly square and sections are cut out at each corner so that the straight valance can fall perfectly flat around the bed and will not be tucked up at corners. But the feature is this: A strip of lace insertion, cotton oriental braid or some fancy trimming is stitched to outline the top of the bed or box portion, and the edges of the straight valance are trimmed with short ruffles of flowered lawn. These are wonderfully pretty, especially when lawn is used to strip the cover. Blue Tweed Suit A tweed suit for the autumn is or dark blue with a suggestion of purple and sepla in the pattern. It has a long coat, not fastened with the ubiquitous three buttons above the knee, but with a loose drooping belt resting on the hips and falling lower in front like a small boy's "French" suit. This belt and the facings of the coat are of purple kid or fine leather. Toilet Powder. For chafing or prickly heat, brown flour in the skillet and sift twice until fine. For ordinary use a preparation of one-third boric acid to two-thirds cornstarch is sufficient. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

It was reported in this city the past week that Prof. James McHenry Jones, principal of the West Virginia State Colored institute, was dead. He was one of the best known educators and Odd Fellows, a brilliant speaker, and a fine man, genial and most companionable. After serving as grandmaster of the grand lodge of the order, he was sent as its fraternal delegate to England where his exceptionable oratorical powers and splendid ability attracted almost international attention. For years he was principal of the colored public schools of Wheeling, W. Va., prior to going to Institute, W. Va. His death is a distinct loss to the race, thousands of whom throughout the county numbered him among their friends. More than a quarter of a century ago, when we started The Gazette, James McHenry Jones was among the first to wish it Godspeed and to give to this paper material support also. Trust Companies Assign.

BISHOP ROASTS SUPREME COURT BISHOP ROASTS SUPREME COURT DECLARES THAT AUGUST BODY IGNORES AFRO-AMERICAN'S APPEALS FOR JUSTICE AND RIGHT. A VETERAN OF THE WAR OF THE REBELLION Senior Bishop Henry M. Turner of the Great A. M. E. Church Cries Out Against Injustice and Mistreatment—The South's Jealousy and Its Temperence Laws—"Near Beer." --- Bishop H. M. Turner, president of the bishops' council of the A. M. E. church, who was in the city attending the North Ohio conference, severely scored the United States supreme court last week Friday for its failure to heed the appeals of our people for the abolishment of the "Jim Crow" law, which prohibited the presence of southern states. He said the supreme court had shown weakness on many occasions either by refusing to listen to our appeal or holding that the court had no jurisdiction. He said the anti-saloon laws lately enacted in some states south of the Mason and Dixon line had done much for the race. He said the recent legislation prohibiting our forming lodge societies in Georgia. "The supreme court sits idle and lets the Negro plead for the rights of franchise and the abolishment of the "Jim Crow" laws without doing a thing to help us," said the bishop. "If the court would act as it should the condition of our race in the south has better in every way. As it is things are far better right now than ever before. Abolish the "Jim Crow" laws and give us the right of franchise and we will be satisfied." Bishop Turner declared that practically all the troubles of the race in the south were caused by jealousy of a certain class of white people for the Afro-American. He held that the feeling between the two races and our people was good throughout the southern states. He said that in Atlanta, his home city, conditions have changed for the better since the riots as a result of which several thousand Afro-Americans left that city. "The temperance laws in the south have a wonderful amount of good for my race," said the bishop. "But they now sell what they call near-bear, which is pretty bad. It isn't nearly as bad, though, as the real beer and whisky they used to sell." The Song at Eve. By George Keppel Thomas. Sweet strains are but the soft lamp-light of dreams That steals back gently o'er the scenes of long ago. And, like a tickerling o'er the dead, it beams A lingering charm to joys I cherished so. A voice now stilled, a smile no eye can see. Greet me when gleams of music no, the dimlult, mast And pause before a picture that reveals to me The one whose love I shared until the last. Yet no sad longing fills the tender strain. For now years have spread a twilight mantle round. light mantle round The old-time sorrow and have turned the fitful pain To silent beauty: love still more profound. Taft 'Secretary of War Scored! Indianapolis, Ind.-Hon. Wm. A. Ketcham, former attorney general of this state and recently a candidate at Salt Lake City for commander of the G. A. R., showered deserved denunciation on Secretary of War Dickinson in a speech before the G. A. R. gath- ering at Garfield Park. On G. A. Ketham in charge for the secretary to express unnecessary sympathy for the south and referred to Dickinson's statement, which is as follows: "I have in my home in Illinois portraits of Davis, Lee and Jackson, and with them the confederate colors, and it has never occurred to me to offer any words of praise." In the most caustic terms. His words brought forth volumes of cheers from the vet-erans. This Is "Going Some." Mr. Wm. Manafield, of Anderson, S. C. is a well-to-do citizen, owning a whole block in North Main street. He owns a two-story concrete building in which he does a good business, carrying a $6,000 stock of goods. He has been in business about eight years and owns a farm. He works $120. Nine years ago he worked as a railroad porter for one dollar a day. Besides the property already mentioned, he owns three other valuable lots and has four delivery horses. Some Prejudiced White Behind This Some Prejudiced White Behind This Marshfield, Ore. -The young son of Gerald Marshfield, only pupil of the school set apart for colored and Oriental children here. There are several Negro pupils in the town, but their parents object to their being classed with Oriental and insist that they attend school with the children. This the authorities will not permit. All should go to school together. "Begin To." Is Good If this is "a white man's country," where is the Negro to go? Africa used to be recommended; but now Africa also is a "white man's country. None but "persons of European ancestry" are allowed there. If white men are not more careful, black men will begin to regard their good faith with suspicion. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. BISHOPS DERRICK AND TURNER Preside Over the Sessions of the North Ohio Conference of the A. M. E. Church. WHERE THE MINISTERS WILL BE THIS COMING YEAR—GREAT PRAISE FOR "THE GAZETTE"—PROMINENT ATTENDANTS— RECEPTIONS—PERSONAL REFERENCE, ETC. TAFT IS GIVEN "PRAISE" FOR BARRING NEGROES SECRETARY DICKINSON TELLS THE SOUTH THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL MEET ITS WISHES REGARDING OFFICES!! The Twenty-eighth annual session of the North Ohio conference met last week Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in M. In John's church, Bishop W. B. Derrick presiding. Rev. H. F. Fox of Canton, was elected secretary, Rev. J. W. Singleton and W. E. Watson, assistants, and Rev. J. G. Robinson, reporter. The pastors made reports that showed marked increase in finances, etc. The financial committee disbursed the dollar money and paid the superannuated widows and orphans. Many leading men of the church were introduced. The bishop then appointed the committees. These rendered reports on various topics brought before the conference. Revs. R. D. Stinson of Atlanta, Ga., B. F. Watson of Washington, D. C., P. E. Mills and W. B. Anderson of Pittsburg, Pa., Jno. M. Henderson of Oberlin, and F. D. C. Lilman of the church to attend the visitors of the conference. The great auditorium of the church was filled at 8 p.m. to its utmost capacity to hear the reception program. The choir sang several beautiful selections and Rev. J. B. Lee led in prayer. Rev. W. W. Beckett of New York, secretary of missions, was presented by Rev Ia A. Collins, presiding officer. Rev G. A. Clark, pastor of Mt. Jones Convent, delivered the address of welcome, which was responded to by Rev John M. Henderson in a most satisfactory manner. Both were able efforts. Rev. Sterling N. Brown of Howard university, Washington, D.C., lectured to the conference delegates Monday and Rev. Richard D. Stinson, vice president of Morris Brown college, Atlanta, others spoke on the question of education of college students evening, the most telling speech, however being made by Rev. John M. Henderson, private secretary to Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, bishop of this, the Third Episcopal district of the church, who with Bishop H. M. Turner presided over the conference's session of the conference goes of Springfield this year. He is the race's talented ministers. Rev Horace Tolbert, secretary of Wilberforce university, and Rev. F. G. Snellson also spoke ably. Bishop Turner presided and Miss Dazalia Underwood sang most acceptably indeed (as she always does) Mascagni's "intermezzo" with the chorus of "cana," and as an encore selection, "Steel Away to Jesus" without accompaniment. Mrs. Geneva Lucas Mint Nashville, Tenn. — Referring at length and in complimentary terms to President Taft, praising especially his policy in the south, Secretary of War Dickinson, in an address at the Tennessee state fair last week Thursday, discussed the political situation throughout the south. President Taft said Mr. Dickinson, in addition, further than any Republican president to meet the wishes of the south in establishing a policy looking to the promotion of peace within her borders. In this he has not responded to any demand either of er presided at the organ, as accompanist, during the rendition of Miss Underwood's first selection. Bishop Derrick then announced the ministerial appointments for the coming year; Bundy was again made presiding elder; Rev. I. A. Collins was assigned to St. John's church, Cleveland; Rev. T. J. Farley to Toledo; Rev. E. Fort to St. James Cleveland; Rev. D. W. Jackson to Eugeneville; Rev. W. Jackson to Steubenville; Rev. B. W. Lee to Newark; Rev. A. R. Palmer to Canton; Rev. J. M.

E. districts presented Bishop Derrick with pursues amounting to eighty-five dollars, which Rev. Ira A. Collins and Rev. J. G. Robinson handed to him with suitable remarks. He responded. Rev. Gilmore was then presented with a fine suit of clothes by the members of the western district. He also responded to proper manners. Conference resolution adopted. St. John's congregation and the people of the city generally for the hospitality extended during its sitting and special thanks to The Gazette and its editor for courtesies extended. Some Personal References. Rev. J. D. Singleton has the best written and finest conference records (we verily believe) in the country. The pages actually have the appearance of having been engraved. The writing is large and so plainly written as to be read easier and with more satisfaction than printed pages. How pleased we all were to greet and welcome Rev. J. Grazaway and Rev. W. J. Johnson of Cadiz; Rev. W. T. Maxwell, Rev. J. C. Turner, former pastors here, and Rev. E. R. Goens and Rev. W. B. Lee, former Clevelanders, as well as many other old friends among the ministers. The two veterans, Rev. John Dickerson, and Rev. John Coleman of Dayton, have a host of friends here. Everybody was pleased to see them. There were as affable and genial and yong as every other. The ladies of St. John's church, who had charge of the meals served in the basement during the sitting of the conference as well as the choir for its excellent singing, deserve great praise. The arrangements for entertaining the visitors, clergymen and others were as pleasing as A. Collins is certainly a success as a leader in such movements as well as a church-builder. His and Rev. Forte's reappointments are deserved, and Bishop Derrick deserves the thanks of the community for making them. Bishop Turner's continued activity (vitality) is as remarkable as his wonderful ability and courage. He was well known to the time man, greatly assisted the presiding bishop, whose health, while on the improve, is not the best. Rev. Horace Tolbert, secretary of Wilberforce university, has a smile that is contagious. He used it to good effect when he met at the educational meeting on Monday evening when disposing of dozens of pamphlets. Rev. Stinson did thirty odd dollars worth of good work for his school at the same meeting. There was a goodly number of visitors to the conference, so we see the conference in session and to meet old friends among its members as well as local residents. his party or the people of the north. I am confident that no thought of winning its votes has influenced his course toward the south." Referring to the question of appointing Negroes to federal positions in the south, Mr. Dickinson said: "I deeply understand that this is a broad, deep, unquestioned that can not be ignored or argued out of existence and that for the peace of both races it is the part of wisdom that such appointments should not be made. He has publicly declared this to be his policy and has carried it out."

SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio 1894 to 1895 Member Ohio Legislature, 1896 to 1898 1890 to 1892 Cleveland, O., October 2, 1909. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, anil 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. Prejudiced whites are behind that "kick" of those Marshfield, Ore., Afro-Americans. It is certainly very encouraging indeed to read such splendid reports as the one contained in the Buffalo letter in this paper. Hurrah! for Gen. Ketcham! (See Indianapolis letter elsewhere in this paper.) It is certainly good and encouraging to learn that there are still a few of his kind left. More power to him. Hit him some more, General! Secretary of War "Jake" Dickinson, the Mississippiian member of Taft's cabinet (by way of Chicago), certainly must have a big mouth as well as a very large foot, judging from the way he is jamming the latter into the former, these days. He is stirring up the dormant north, however, and doing that much good anyhow. The N. Y. Age circulated a story last week to the effect that delegates to the national Baptist convention held several weeks ago in Columbus, were "sore" because Senator Foraker, who was away up in Maine at his summer home, did not attend the meeting when he never even promised to do so. There is and was absolutely no ground for that paper's "dig" at the senator. It is not the first one by many, either. Small and dirty business, that. Practically all of the four hundred census supervisors have been appointed. Not a Negro appears on the list. Ten million Negroes are to be enumerated and practically every Negro that cast a ballot a year ago voted for the present administration.—N. Y. No, they didn't! Well, we warned you of Taft last year but you and others would not listen. Take your "medicine" and don't "grow." We are very proud indeed of the splendid showing, and impression upon this entire community, the North Ohio conference of the great A. M. E. Church Connection, headed by Bishops W. B. Derrick and H. M. Turner, and President Charles Bundy and J. M. Gilmore, made last and the first of this week, while in session at beautiful new St. John's church. The clergy men and laymen, members of the conference, "made good" in every way and helped our people of this community far more than many think. There were some brilliant scholars and orators in attendance; some modest, unassuming and equally able gentlemen of the cloth also, and to lead them all, two as able bishops as any Church Connection in this country, black or white, can boast of. Come again, gentlemen! "NOT A NOTABLE SUCCESS." Under the above caption, the Chicago Abendpost (German) of the 24th ult., has this to say editorially (translation by "Jacob Egberph"). "With the most friendly intention imaginable, the secretary of war has done Mr. Taft immeasurable damage. To prove to the 'south' that it has good reason to expect the most loving treatment at the hands of his administration, the general (Dickinson) asserted 'that the people of the north had not only forgotten the slaveholders' rebellion and forgiven them for it, but that they even admired the patriotism and the principles of the heroes' of secession! So much honey may taste good to the south, but most assuredly there are rather many people in the north, who will find it, to say the least, rather unbecoming in the secretary of war of the United States that he publically boasts of his admiration for men, who had taken the utmost pains to destroy these same U. S. and to perpetuate the accursed system of slavery for all time to come. It is even within the range of possibilities that the president will be sharply rebuked, for having entrusted a man with such principles with the administration of the American army affairs. Instead of winning the 'west' and reconciling 'the south,' Mr. Taft may finally lose "the north!" AMEN! OUR RIGHT IN AMERICA. A N. Y. Journal, Chicago American and San Francisco Examiner editorial takes the broad and very correct ground that the Afro-American's "right in America is as good as any man's" and- if anything, "a little better because he was brought here against his will." Good! Continuing it says: * * * If any one wants to make himself useful, if he wants to solve the race problem, let him do two things: First, treat the Negroes with absolute justice; see that they have all their rights without allowing them to infringe upon the rights of others. Second, make up for the injustice and brutality of the past days of slavery with kindness and opportunity NOW. Infinite justice and wisdom created THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1909. the colored man as well as the white man. Colored men and white men were put on this earth together, each to do his work. The colored man has lived at a great disadvantage through the centuries. * * * * * * * * If infinite wisdom decided that white men and colored men could live on this little planet together, it is also certain that they can live here in the United States together. And they will live here together, and settle their questions here. The colored man will not send the whites out of the country and the whites won't send the colored men out. They will live and work side by side, each respecting the rights of the other. The white man who wants to keep separate from the colored man will do so; the colored man who wants to keep separate from the white man should be allowed to do so. They must respect each other; each must remember that the other is a citizen, with all the rights of citizenship, including the right of full protection in his property and in every court * * * * . "SOME COOL AND TIMELY FACTS." Under the above heading, the Chicago Inter-Ocean of a recent date, published the following editorial which was made the principle leader for that issue of that paper. We commend it in the strongest possible manner especially at this time because it comes as a ray of sunshine on the darkest day, so lax along this line in recent years have become both the northern press, publit and people; "The secretary of war for the United State government saw fit on Wednesday, day to boast before a southern audience that, in his home, he always kept "conspicuous displayed" the portraits of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee, "and with them the confederate colors." What Jacob Dickinson does as the head of the house in his own home is a matter of no public importance. But when, as secretary of war, he sets forth publicly his private conduct for general edification, he makes that conduct a proper subject of comment. Therefore we are moved to say that for a high officer of the United States government, a member of the president's cabinet, to display as the emblem of his American can faith the flag of the American citizens who sought to subvert that government, to display with the flag the portraits of the American citizens who took a most conspicuous part in the effort to subvert that government, and then to proclaim this conduct from his present seat in that government, is as bad taste as we can well imagine. This is said without heat. It is said in full consciousness of the private virtues of the southern gentlemen whom the secretary of war has selected for his homage. The point is simply this: These are not the men and theirs is not the flag for a high officer of the United States government to pay his public homage to and that is what the head of the war department is done. As long as some things are eternally right in this world, and others are eternally wrong; as long as this North American Union is a government worthy of our love and deserves to be continued on the face of the earth; as long as an oath of allegiance is more than a scrap of paper and our love of country is more than a mere fiction, it is at least unfit, grossly unfit, for a member of the United States government to proclaim even his personal and private fealty to the cause which sought to abolish this nation. All things are not as they seem to all. A man can think he is right and be wrong. Millions can do the same. But the everlasting verities abide just the same. Jacob Dickinson of Chicago (a native of Mississippi where his home is) is free to accept or deny this, as he pleases. But the United States secretary of war is not. He has no alternate. He must accept, and act on it, or be condemned." Deserved Promotion, and Intermarriage. New York City. -The recent promotion of William C. Greene upon the recommendation of Postmaster E. M. Morgan from clerk in charge of the office of general superintendent of city delivery of the New York postoffice to that of assistant superintendent of city delivery is cause for congratulation to both Postmaster Morgan and Mr. Greene who has been in the service for 20 years. Two licenses for "mked" unions were issued in New York City recently. William Cunningham, a waiter, 39 years old, obtained a license to marry Kate Norman (white), a widow, seven years his junior. Ernest Surdez, a Swiss, 47 years old and a watchmaker by trade, took out a license to wed Minnie Smith, a dark mulatto woman, born in Atlanta, Ga.

All Europe for centuries was covered with it, but the quick, strong reactive blood of the white race strangled the germs of death, so it is doubtful if whites could ever be pestered much again. Yellow races, of alower, weaker blood, are still slowly stewing with it. "Common People Sore."

Y.—The following, from the Buffalo Echo News of the 16th ult., written by a white resident, is self-explanatory: Editor News: I move that we give a vote of thanks to the colored troops stationed at Fort Porter. They have been away ahead of the white troops in their behavior and I, as a neighbor, tender my sincere thanks. A NEIGHBOR. RYAN PICKS JOHNSON TO BEAT JEFFRIES IN RING. Tommy Ryan, who has a very good line on fighters, and especially Jim Jeffries, has the following to say on the Jeffries and Johnson fight: "I honestly believe that Johnson will win. In the first place Jeff never met a man of his own bulk, and in the Negro he will hook up with a man who is his equal in poundage. "Then Johnson is not only as clever as Corbett, but he is a punishing kicker. He knocks a boy on his knee. He has one punch that will land Jeff—the uppercut. I look to see Jeff fight himself out in ten rounds and then go down from exhaustion, as did John L. Sullivan when he fought Jim Corbett." Factory and Residences Burned. Indianapolis, Ind.—The G. P. McDougall & Son kitchen cabinet factory, one grocery store and 11 residences in South Meridian street were destroyed by a fire which started in the cabinet factory. Missionary Boat Capsizes Victoria, B. C.—The American missionary yacht Hiram Bingham capsized at Jaluit in the Marshall group and Rev. T. Walkup died from exposure. The others passed three weeks in an open boat without food. Vessel Run Down and Sunk. Norfolk, Va.—Capt. John T. Taylor of the Bugeye motor boat White Wings arrived here and announced that his vessel had been run down and sunk near Wolf Trap Light by the fishing steamer Emily Foote. Three Men Guillotined Valence, Drome, France.—Three desperate men, Berruyer, David and Liotard were guillotined here for a series of atrocious crimes in the department of Drome which created a reign of terror. Four Race Horses Cremated. Toronto, Ont.—Four race horses belonging to Adam Beck, electric power minister in the Ontario cabinet, were burned to death in a box car in the grand trunk yards. Ten Men Killed. Chicago, Ill.—Ten men were killed and six probably fatally injured when a train southbound for Cincinnati on the Pennsylvania railroad crashed into the caboose of a Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul cattle train. For jumping into the river at Detroit, Mich., and rescuing James F. Joy, a Detroit lawyer, in August, 1895, Secretary of War Dickinson has been presented with a gold medal. William Smith, who had his stomach removed three weeks ago in the Bushwick hospital, Brooklyn, has left that institution thoroughly cured, the doctors say. There is now no reason why Smith cannot live for the balance of his natural life, according to the surgeons, and his only handicap will be that he must eat nothing but predigested foods. JOY REIGNS IN SPAIN'S CAPITAL PEOPLE CLEBRATING THE SUCCESS OF SPANISH TROOPS IN AFRICA. WAR IS PRACTICALLY ENDED Mount Guruga, the Moorish Stronghold, Occupied by Spanish Soldiers—Gen. Mariana's Operations Successful. Madrid, Spain.—Madrid is begged and illuminated in celebration of the success of the Spanish arms in Africa which were crowned by the occupation of Mount Guruga, the Moorish stronghold. Crowds fill the Puerta Del Sol and the surrounding streets acclaiming the news which makes a glorious ending of the war and the early return of the troops. Gen. Mariana's successfully planned operations are the subject of much praise. After the reverse of July 27 and the subsequent losses suffered, Gen. Mariana decided that it would be a useless waste of life to proceed on a small scale in the operations and that the Moors, who have been making raids from the rocky fastnesses of Mt. Guruga, must be dislodged or outflanked. Accordingly he withdrew his advanced posts and waited until he had concentrated 60,000 men and 68 cannon, which were divided into the two columns on September 20. One column was sent north to Cape Tres Forcas, to prevent the possibility of a rear attack and the other was sent southwards. Both operations were successful and, after Nador and Zeluan were taken, the Moors evidently found themselves outfanked and evacuated the territory, for no resistance was encountered when the Spanish forces scaled the sides of the mountain and planted the flag on its summit. Official circles seem convinced that the Moors are thoroughly discouraged, and the successful windup of the campaign is expected to arouse a wave of patriotic enthusiasm, which will greatly strengthen the Maura government, whose enemies counted upon a protracted struggle, with perhaps serious reverses and possibly complete failure. Abroad the victories are expected to enhance Spanish prestige greatly, and the policy of non-interference, to which the powers subscribed, will give the Spanish government an opportunity to reap the full benefit of the country's military success. As it is manifestly impossible for Morocco to pay the indemnity which Spain will demand, Spanish occupation can be protracted for many years. The mines, which were the cause of the original trouble, are considered immensely rich and much is expected from industrial exploitation. NEWSPAPER OWNER KILLED Garage Proprietor Also Meets Death When an Auto in Which They Were Riding Dashes Into Pole. New York City—Parker Norton, owner of the Mineola Press, and Edward Baker, proprietor of the Mineola garage, were instantly killed in an automobile accident near Mineola, L. I. The two men were returning to the village with the balloon of Leon Stevens, the aeronaut, which had just descended from a long flight across New York City and Long Island. With the deflated balloon packed in the bottom of the car William Watson was driving the car at a moderate rate of speed along a heavily shaded stretch of road when suddenly he saw a heavy farmer's wagon loaded with garden truck ahead of him. To avoid collision he turned quickly to the right. His machine struck a deep rut and then swerved into a telegraph pole. Watson was thrown head first over the steering wheel and landed almost uninjured in a sand bank. Both his companions, however, were thrown heavily against the telegraph pole. Their skulls were fractured and both must have died instantly. MARY BAKER EDDY SCORED Christian Science Leader Bitterly Attacked by Boston Lawyer in City of San Francisco. San Francisco, Cal.-San Francisco Christian Scientists and anti-Christian Scientists are aroused over the bitter exorcism of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy by Frederick Peabody, Boston lawyer, before a big audience here. Peabody accused Mrs. Eddy of "standing before the public in the guise of a benefactress and bringing suffering, pain and deud to thousands of children and deluded dupes. "Nothing justifies a man in attacking a woman in private life," he said, "but Mrs. Eddy has become a public character, and I consider it my duty to oppose the machinations of this adventures and charlatan." Wright Encircles Statue of Liberty. New York City.—Wilbur Wright circled the great Statue of Liberty at the entrance of New York harbor in his airplane September 29, while in the upper part of the city two huge dirigible balloons failed ingloriously in their task. Both Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss soared successfully from the aerodrome of Governors Island in their motor-propelled biplanes; both great dirigibles, entered in the New York World's $10,000 New York to Albany race, were forced to descend because of mechanical difficulties. Death at Auto Race. Riverhead, L. I.—The smashing of every existing American record for automobile racing on the open road and a spill which cost the life of Mechanician James Bates and serious injuries to another, Herbert Lytle, a well known racing driver, marked the running September 29 of the Long Island Automobile derby. The event was a stock car sweepstakes and was run over 22 miles of hitherto untreated road at the eastern extremity of Long Island, between River Head and Mattinuck. DR. BOOKER T.

HOPEFUL SIGNS OF THE FUTURE! 8PLENDID SHOWING IS MADE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF REAL ESTATE IN THE THIRD LARGEST AMERICAN CITY By Our People of Philadelphia—Valued at More Than $10,000,000—Thirty-two Incorporated Business Concerns—Professional and Other Workers, Lodges, Churches and Other Organizations. Philadelphia, third largest city of the United States, has an Afro-American population of 83,000, according to a census just taken under private auspices. In such population Philadelphia is exceeded only by Washington, Baltimore, and New Orleans. Among the most interesting facts shown by the "Colored directory" of Philadelphia, just published, are these relating to taxation. $10,000 or over..... 169,500 The cash value of Philadelphia real estate owned by our people is conservatively estimated at over $10,000,000. The average price of 6,800 Negroes in the Quaker city. Today it has over 20,000 voters, of whom 2,190 are classed as illiterate. There are about 53,000 between the ages of 10 and 21 years, of whom one-tenth are illiterate. According to the latest census the workers are thus divided: Agricultural pursuits, 214; professional service, 585; domestic and personal services, 214; manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, 3,051. Classed as "professionals" are 14 lawyers, 11 dentists, one drugtail, 28 physicians, six artists, four chiropractors, two oculists, two electrical engineers, 50 public school teachers, 4 private school teachers, 18 graduate nurses, and 22 music teachers. Thirty-two incorporated business concerns of Philadelphia are operated by AF and AH companies. The control five insurance companies, mostly weekdays. Their charitable and philanthropic number is 35. There are three day nurseries for children, 13 missions, eight social organizations, and four associations for the protection of civil rights. There are over 80 churches, with a membership of near 100,000 church members are Baptists. Of fraternal societies there are 20 lodges of Odd Fellows, one lodge of Elks, 19 Masonic lodges, with six chapters of the United Grand Chapter, four commanderies of Knights Templar, and three divisions of the Scottish rite. There are two Grand Army posts, and two two camps of Sons of Confederate Warriors. There are two religious and social organizations, four literary societies, and 26 social, beneficial and industrial organizations, ranging from an auxiliary day nursery club to one of Pullman car porters. Commenting on the real estate holdings, the Odd Fellows Journal says: "Just how much the wealth of the Philadelphia Afro-Americans is cannot be told. For real estates, there are two camps of the male mate of $10,000,000 is not too high. Considering the general economic disadvantages in the large northern cities the accumulations of our people in Philadelphia constitute a hopeful sign of the race's future." Councilman Granted New Trial Ashtabula, O.—Councilman George Aunger of this town convicted on charges of soliciting a bribe of $1,200 from the Ashtabula Gas Co. and sentenced to serve 18 months in the penitentiary, has been granted a new trial in the circuit court. The court reversed the previous decision on the ground that improper evidence was admitted in Aunger's cross-examination during his trial. To Extend Mission Work New York City.-The commission of the Methodist Episcopal church which is raising $300,000 to extend mission work in Africa, announces that $182,000 has been raised.

This institution of our city is great in its broad acres—nearly 2,000; great in its altitude, at the highest point, 675 feet above the lake level; great in its industrial possibilities, through the fertility of these many acres; great in beauty, comfort and beauty; great in the meeting the ends of their erection; great in comprehensiveness for the care of the infirm, the aged, those scourged with tuberculosis, the feeble-minded, and for the housing, working and otherwise taking humane care of prisoners; and great in the promise of vision of the large heart and big brain of Dr. Cooley, and enthusiastically seconded by his able assistant, Mr. Vining. I was impressed greatly with the zeal exhibited by all in charge to make this plant the foremost of its kind in the country. In fact, I have always hardened my mind which equals it. It is a most happy combination of the industrial idea, a most restful home for the unfortunate aged, a hospital for the proper care of the sick, together with the most humane prison life, appealing to these to get back to their better work, meditation, wholesome reading and schooling where needed. When I looked at the beautiful buildings, the fine machinery doing the work of the institution, the modern kitchen equipment, the live stock, the beautifying of the grounds, the building of roads, bridging the depressions, the grounds, and the purchase-prices of the land, together with the nearness to the city. I could not have been more surprised when I inquired the cost of all these, to date, and was told that it was only about $800,000. If put on the market to-day the city could realize almost double that sum, on the investment. The good already done for those needed for there, the moral and the honesty of its management and the honesty of its management is an honor to all concerned, and enhances the glory of Cleveland far above any money consideration. My prayer is that the despoiling hand of partisan politics, and the greed of grafters may forever be kept off of that institution and ours in management. I am sure true that the average law-breaker is far better off on the farm than at liberty. First, he is made to work in a manner and under conditions infinitely better than exposure to temptations and leading an idle life. He has a clean, comfortable bed, cared for by himself. He is housed in a well-lighted, well-ventilated building, and other amenities, food, and the right sort, and properly prepared. The method of control is in accordance with the best civilization, heightened by Christian influences. The average criminal cannot escape coming back to liberty a better man or woman, and with a higher self-respect. In fact, it is there conceded that even a criminal has rights that are respectable, and in evidence as is indicated in the provisions there provided for worship. By using the labor of the inmates, thousands of dollars are saved to the city in the use of products of the farm. It is a bee-hive of industry. There are the products of the land, the dairy, the barnyard; and there will be, from the prospective orchard, the luxury of the farm. One of his latest efficient assistants are spared to carry out their dreams to a conclusion, and all is practicable, this already great institution, in the future, will be a glory to Cleveland, and the present greatness will be but a small thing in comparison. Let our people visit the Cooley farm at Warrensville if they desire wholesome information, to learn what great work is being done there for the unfortunate and the needy. No words will do justice to it; neither can my pen sketch it satisfactorily. For one, I should like to see the present management continued. Thus and only thus can the plans now conceived be most surely realized. Local News Notice to Subscribers - Subscribers not receiving The Gazette regularly should notify us at once.

She clung to the fender, though seriously and painfully bruised and injured. Rare presence of mind for one so young. Either the brake or motorman on that car was to blame. Benjamin Crowler, eldest son of son and Mrs. Crowler of East Thirty-third street was totally burned Tuesday at the end of an explosion of gas. The contents of their home were entirely destroyed. Their grandson, Richard Cheatham, was badly burned and sent to Charity hospital. The rest of the family were rescued through the windows. The young man had only been home two months. Mrs. Edith Woods of East Ninetieth street entertained in honor of the Olympia Ladies' quartet Monday even- ing. Forty guests were present.

The Misses Underwood and Brown, the Meedames Smith and Payton constitute the organization this fall. The editor of The Gazette, on the invitation of Bishop Derrick, addressed the A. M. E. conference in session at St. John's church, last Saturday morning. He was given a splendid introduction by the good pastor and was warmly congratulated by him. Bishop Turner and the leading ministers of the conference, as well as those in attendance from the Ohio conference (southern part of the state) at the conclusion of his address. A Louisville, Ky., correspondent wrote the following last week: "Mr. Columbus Johnson, a graduate of the Central high school and Ohio State University, has been in the city seven years. Mr. Johnson is now Mattle Johnson. Mr. Johnson is now of Cleveland, O. where he is running a successful drug store. Mr. Johnson forged his way forward in the business world and is now recognized as one of the leading young men of that city. He is a proud graduate of his success and while here he was given a cordial welcome among the best friends of the city." Jack Johnson is a 10 to 4 favorite over Stanley Ketchel for their fight, which takes place this month, but there probably won't be any money to speak of bet at that price, or any other price, for that matter, on the cowboy, as there is not a real student team. It is also a chance against the clever Colored champion. They are also betting even money that Johnson scores a knockout. It is pretty generally believed that Ketchel's manager was largely responsible for the effort that the team had to state to call off his fight with Sam Langford, last week. Stanley knows that he cannot whip Sam. In the contest started to set aside the injunction obtained by Rev. John F. Hamilton of Delaware, against the conference, restraining it temporarily from ousting him from membership, was involved the question of court jurisdiction in church affairs. A motion filed by W. H. Boyd, attorney for the conference, set forth that no court has the right to interfere by way of injunction or otherwise with the government and management of a religious organization. The hearing on the injunction was commenced Monday and resumed Tuesday and Wednesday, with Rev. W. H. Boyd, $10,000 damages against Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, bishop of this Episcopal district of the church, and six other members of the conference. Rev. Hamilton charges that he has been seriously injured in his reputation as a preacher. Judge Phillips dissolved the injunction and dismissed the case just before noon on Wednesday. Rev. Hamilton charges against certain members of the conference still remains to be tried. As Mr. Will Cook lived for years in this city when a boy the following from Chicago will also be of local interest: "Miss Abble Mitchell, who is playing an engagement here at the American Husic hall, feels very embarrassed because she has not been able to change from the Red Moon to the vaudeville stage and wishes to put the matter clearly to the public. First, she did not have any trouble in any way. It was no secret she was dickering with William Morris about booking her in vaudeville. It was only the difference of money. It was understandable that her entreaties were arranged. There was not any trouble at all between Mrs. Alda Overton Walker and myself. We are good friends; have worked before in the same show and our acts are entirely different. Here it is in plain words. My life's ambition has been to be in vaudeville alone, so I have been working with her husband, Mr. Will Marion Cook, will make the tour with me, personally conducting the orchestra at every performance that I appear." Tax Valuation Boosted. Columbus, O.-The state board of assessors and appraisers has swelled the tax valuation of express, telegraph and telephone companies by more than $600,000. The state board of equalization for banks also has finished reviewing the work of the county auditors, who raised the tax valuation of banks by $1,750,000.

Complete Cure by Cuticura. 3 "About fifteen or eighteen years ago eczema developed on top of my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best in town. He told me it was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further. I finally concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies and found relief in the first trial. I continued until I was completely cured from the disease, and I have not been troubled since. C.

It was not until 1826 that the government lotteries were abandoned in Britain. For the thirty years preceding an average annual profit of over $1,725,000 was accrued, one contract or alone spending $150,000 in advertisements in a single year. The money was used for theatrical or art purpose, such as the improvement of London, the purchase of Tompkins picture gallery, or the repair of varlous harbors. From the seventeenth century to the reign of George IV, the crown repeatedly drew considerable revenues from such sources. Mars the Next Field. There are many who will part from the north pole with regret. All their lives it has seemed the one unconquerable salient of nature's fortress, the very synonym of the impossible goal of human endeavor. With the pole itself succumbing, the world is no longer the same, and everything seems within the realm of mortal achievement. We must now think of talking with Mars with more respect.

HIS CHANCE. "Hey, mister! Gimme a nickel an' I'll tell youse who trew dat peel down dere!" As St. Louis Lawyers Talk Circuit Judge Reynolds had announced that he would hear jurors who had excuses to offer for not serving, and a dozen American citizens crowded up to the bench to tell their troubles. Their excuses were as varied as those who were blind to the feast that the bible tells about. One had an important engagement and another could not hear very well, and another had sickness in his family, and another had duties to perform which nobody else on earth could perform, and another was going on a journey. And so it went. The last man in the line wanted to be let off because he was a German. He might have been excused if he had not presented his excuse wrong end forward. "Judge," he said, "I can't understand good English." Oh, you'll do all right," said the judge. "There is no good English spoken in here."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. They Didn't Have to Change. During the years in which our pure food laws have been put into effect there has been a great hurrying and scurrying on the part of the food manufacturers to change their methods to make them conform to the law. The Quaker Oats Company is a conspicuous exception. It was admitted that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an fortunate thing. It is so cheap that any one can afford it and so nourishing that everyone needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endurance of muscle and brain. The Quaker Oats Company meets and adopts the way it packs Quaker Oats; regular size packages and the large size family package; the latter, both with and without china. Ring of Chinese "Grafters." Ring of Chinese "Grafters." Prince Ching, head of the foreign department, is pictured as an eminent oriental grafter by the Peking correspondent who wrote "Since the downfall of Yuan Shikai the Wakwu-pu (foreign office) has relapsed into its former state of incapacity, and for this Prince Ching is to blame. Amable but corrupt, he has stood for a generation for all that is worst in Chinese officialdom. All stories tell of his rapacity, his greed, his unscrupulous sales of office, his indifference to the affairs of state. His wealth is enormous, yet no generous or charitable action has ever been recorded in his favor. Every new minister in every office of emolument has to pay him toll." "Eilthy Lucre." The expression "filthy lucre" is of biblical origin, and is to be found in the third chapter of the first book of Timothy, where the qualifications necessary for the office of a bishop are thus set forth; "This is a true saying. If a man desireth the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop must then be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous."

"Electrician, Columbia university," was the response. "What would President Butler do if he knew you were this way?" "He'd discharge me; and say, your honor, take a tip from a wise guy like him, and do the same yourself." Swarming Bees' Scout Swarms of bees are sometimes compelled to take refuge in very remarkable shelters. A peculiar and instructive instance was observed by the writer in the spring of 1908. The swarm flew over a large vineyard which contained few buildings. One of these buildings was constructed of hollow concrete blocks. The swarm flew directly toward a small hole in one of the blocks and disappeared in the interior. No doubt the swarm had rested on a tree or shrub on the proceeding day and had sent out scouts to seek a home.—Scientific American. Fair Warning. "You are a likely-looking chap," said the gib-tongued proprietor of the summer hotel, "and there are lots of pretty girls around here. Why not spend your time love making?" "I may," responded the young salesman on vacation, "but there is just one thing I wish to impress upon your mind." "And what is that?" "I am not one of those chaps who would rather make love than eat."

OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD According to Scientists Our Earth Had Its Origin in the Lauren- Stretching across Canada, north of the St. Lawrence, and ending in the regions about the source of the Mississippi, is a range of low granite hills called the Laurentian highlands. These hills are really mountains that are almost worn out, for they are the oldest land in America, and, according to Agassiz, the oldest in the world. In the days when there was nothing but water on the face of the globe, these mountains came up—a long island of primitive rock with universal ocean chafing against its shores. None of the other continents had put in their appearance at the time America was thus looking up. The United States began to come to light by the gradual uplifting of this land to the north and the appearance of the tops of the Alleghenies which, were next in order. Later the Rockies started up. The United States grew southward from Wisconsin and westward from the Blue Ridge. An early view of the country would have showed a large island which is now northwest Wisconsin, and a long thin tongue of this primitive rock sticking down from Canada into Minnesota, and these two growing states looking out over the waters at the mere beginnings of mountain ranges east and west. They were waiting for the rest of the United States to appear—The Atlantic. STARTLING NEWS. Old Skinflint—Here, boys, what's this you were shouting? "Great swindle—60 victims!"

It is a common occurrence nowadays to hear a man remark with disgust: "It is impossible to have good painting done these days; either the paint is not good or there are no good painters." This, however, is not true. There is good paint, and there are good painters. But the question is, bringing them together. One cannot expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you are getting pure white lead without testing it. See that the keg bears National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. However, anyone can test white lead. National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, will send you a lead tester and painter's outfit, consisting of book of color schemes, specifications, etc., upon request. Changed Farm Life Changed Earth life. The dual silence that hung over that New England sunlight table has been lifted of late. It is gone like the dew in the sunlight of the new social influences. The isolation of the farm was the chilling cause that drove men into the cities. Now, by telephone and free mail delivery, all the warm world currents are being carried to the country and are vitalizing the rural community into a life that is rich and abundant in the variety of its interests. A real heart hunger has been answered. Over hill and down dale flashes the impulse that electrifies existence with the thril of human life touching other human life.—Delineator. Puzzle for the Girls Every instructor at Chautauqua is required to fill out a paper answering a number of necessary and unnecessary questions. One year there was a remarkably handsome male member of the faculty in whom all the girl students were much interested. "Is he married or unmarried?" became an all-absorbing question. Finally some of them had the courage to approach the college secretary and ask if the files might be looked over. And there the handsome professor, anticipating some such investigation had recorded his matrimonial pretensions as follows: "Married or single?—Yes."
