For the second time within three years a bomb jeopardized the life of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Times, which was destroyed by dynamite October 1, 1910. That he escaped injury probably was due to the watchful eye of his Japanese servant, who received from the postman an infernal machine mailed in this city and called his employer's attention to it. The discovery of a counterfeiter's den in New York, which Hans Schmidt, priest and slaveslayer of Anna Aumuller, admitted was fitted up by him to make spurious money, led many persons to express the opinion that Schmidt is sane and that further investigation will develop that counterfeiting was only one of his "side lines." They declared their belief that he is feligning insanity. ...

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. THE JENKINS ORPHANAGE. New Yorker Aid Southern Institution at Bin Public Meeting The mass meeting held at Sulzer's Harlem River casino, New York, Aug. 28 in the interest of the Jenkins orphanage, Charleston, S. C., was liberally patronized. Being held in the financial interest of an institution so far removed from New York, the attendance of possibly 2,000 persons was indicative of the growing tendency among our people to co-operate in all matters of importance to the well being of the race. The institution in Charleston was started in 1891 with four orphan children. During the first five years of its existence it cared for 536 children, and the corps of teachers was eight, with two other workers. In 1912 there was a renewed effort over former years to meet the expense of caring for 300 children, besides the other running expenses of the institution. The orphanage owns a 100 acre tract of farm land, which was given by Mr. Joseph Whid of Brooklyn, enabling the management to provide agricultural training for the boys and girls in connection with their literary studies. Much of the money for running the school in past years has been raised through the personal efforts of Dr. Jenkins, founder and president of the orphanage, and through concert and street music given by the orphanage band, which consists of twenty well trained boys and a leader. Dr. Jenkins received much encouragement from his New York effort and returns to the institution with renewed determination to carry forward this much needed feature of charitable work among the colored orphan children in Charleston. Gifts of money, provisions and clothing will be appreciated by the institution and may be sent to the home, which is located at 20 Franklin street, Charleston, S. C. Among the speakers for the evening's entertainment were the Hon. John J. Murphy, who represented Mayor W. J. Gaynor, and Dr. James H. Gordon, superintendent of the Howard Orphanage and Industrial school at King's Park, New York. Dr. C. H. McDonald was master of ceremonies. PETITION FOR SQUARE DEAL Afro-American Citizens Asked to Observe Day of Special Prayer SERVE DAY OF SPECIAL PRAYER. The National Independent Political league requests that every clergyman in the United States observe Sunday, Sept. 14, 1913, as Equal Rights Sunday and special prayers, and more offered for the cause of human rights. Colored American citizens are denied these rights even by the federal government itself. Petition Almighty God and appeal to the people to fight against this sin. Every church among us, every literary association, every lodge, every equal rights society in the United States, is urged to send a delegate to the sixth annual meeting of the National Independent Political league at Boston, Sept. 10-18, 1913. Also citizens who do not belong to any particular organization are invited to attend. MEETING OF INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE SEPT. 16. President Byron Gunner Issues Call For Sixth Annual Convention. Boston—Declaring that "at no time since the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation has there been a time when the civil and social rights of colored Americans were more imperiled than they are today." President Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y., has issued the call for the sixth annual meeting of the National Independent Political league to meet in Boston Sept. 15, 16 and 17. All independent thinkers and voters among colored American are invited to meet in national conference to "devise ways and means for a campaign in defense of our oppressed people." The call declares that unless united resentment is shown the race is doomed to be "the greatest mass of political serfs and social outcasts that ever cursed a civilized nation." As the majority of the league supported the Wilson ticket, it is significant that the call recites "the evil policy of the present national administration in segregating colored employees." This the league urges the race to resent by letter and petitions. The convention is to be a general meeting of colored citizens of various political affiliations who put men and measures above mere party allegiance. All colored Americans who value freedom are urged to join and be present. The league has issued an appeal to all churches in the country to observe Sunday, Sept. 14, as a day of prayer for equal rights—anEqual Rights Sunday. Every colored church is requested to send a delegate to the convention. The meeting is to be held in the Twelfth Baptist church, Boston, for three days. There will also be excursions and outings and a reception to visitors, with a closing meeting in Faneuil hall. Tremendous preparations are being made to receive delegates. Purpose of Educational Congress- Purpose or Education Congress. An educational congress will be held at Norwegian Aeneas church, Newark, N. J., beginning on Monday evening, Sept. 29. The purpose of the congress is to create a greater desire among Afro-Americans for entering the business arena. N. Barnett Dodson of Brooklyn has been invited to make the principal address on the opening night. MOVEMENT TO BENEFIT BOYS How the "A. F." Cadet Corps Idea Was Started. Military Training in the Interest of Irregular Sunday School Lads to Receive Attention—Views of the Father of the Scheme—How to Start a Corps. Nashville, Tenn.—One of the new features brought forward at the recent session of the Sunday school congress held in Muskogee, Okla., was the starting of the "A. F." cadet corps among boys who are not regular attendants of any Sunday school. The movement is already becoming quite popular, and the directors of the congress are very much encouraged over the future outlook for the movement. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the congress, says that the originator of this feature got his inspiration from the enthusiasm displayed by small boys on the street, who often indulge in playing soldier. The father of the cadet corps idea is Dr. W. H. Crawford, superintendent of the Second Baptist church Sunday school in Austin, Tex., of which the Rev. Dr. L. L. Campbell is pastor. This school has the largest enrollment of any in the congress. In speaking of the work Dr. Crawford says: "For years it has been dawning upon our minds that we were fast facing a crisis in our denominational life when we would find ourselves without strong men upon whose shoulders would rest the responsibility of extending the Master's kingdom in the world. We have noticed the scarcity of men in our churches and the predicament of our churches in being hampered because of their inability to find proper material to man the various positions of trust. $ ^{*} $ "We have watched the various men's movements in this country, whose efforts are bent largely on heading off the impending crisis. Both in church and Sunday school the ratio of attendance is easily five to one in favor of the female. Evidently there is a cause producing this effect, and that cause should be discovered and the proper remedy applied. We are of the opinion that we are not paying the necessary attention to the boy, and hence the indifference of the man." The cadet movement, like all other movements for good, is bent heavenward. It seeks to create a wholesome moral and congenial atmosphere around the boy by inculcating in him many unique features which will appeal to that interest universal among boys. The boy likes the spectacular, the nesthetical and the humorous—that which enlivens and gratifies his notions and whims. He is not given to a great extent to the consideration of the serious side of life; hence in order to win him we must cater somewhat to his peculiar traits, but in doing this so maneuver as to fix within him at the same time those basic principles upon which may rest elements of true manhood. This is one of the things that is aimed at in the organization of the "A. F." cadets. Another idea involved is to ever keep in mind that the boy of today is to be the man of tomorrow, and whatever the needs of this time or the needs of the time to come as to disposition, habits, character, etc., should be molded into the life of the boy of today and not wait until he becomes the man of tomorrow. The cadet movement starts in the Sunday school as a distinct department, subject to all rules and regulations of the school. This department its, character, etc., should be molded one boys each, but all under the command of a captain. This division is made on the basis of size. Any boy may become a member of the cadet department who will join and attend the school. LIGE LANE MAY NOT HANG. White Women, In Doubt of Prisoner's Guilt, Petition For Life Sentence. According to an Atlanta (Ga.) report, the first week in September a movement was started by well known and influential white women to prevent the hanging of a Lige Lane, a colored man charged with an offense against a white woman. Acting upon this omen of good will and desire for fair play, Lawyer R. G. Dickerson has petitioned the state prison commission to commute the prisoner's sentence to life imprisonment. Mr. Dickerson told the commissioners that there was grave doubt as to Lane's guilt. Counsel for the confined man also presented a petition for the commutation of the prisoner's sentence signed by 85 per cent of the white women of Homertville, a town with a population of 437. This is said to be the first time in the history of the state that white women have taken such action in a case of this kind. Big Financial Concern In Virginia. The Industrial Savings Loan and Investment company of Danville, Va. was ably represented at the recent meeting of the business league held in Philadelphia by Mr. J. R. Wilson, the efficient secretary for the company, its real estate holdings include a large assembly hall of pressed brick. PHYSICIAN'S FINE RECORD. Successful Work of Dr. G. A. Gerran of High Point. High Point, N. C.—To uphold the highest ideals making for the conservation of health and happiness is very encouragingly manifested in this community by hundreds of Afro-Americans. There is a pronounced interest in civic conditions and the material advancement of the race is largely due to the ability to adhere to the unselfish interests in the welfare of every community. This condition has come about largely through the splendid efforts of Dr. G. A. Gerran, a man of exceptional qualities. Dr. Gerran is a native of Greensboro, N. C., and received his literary training at Bennett college, Greensboro, after which he graduated from the medical department of Shaw university and came to this town in 1897. He had to do missionary work because he was the first Afro-American physician to practice in this section and he had to enter into every movement that would give our people a better conception of the possibilities for their future ad- G. A. GERRAN, M. D. vancement. Few of our people in this section had ever seen a physician of their own race before. Dr. Gerran had to create confidence on their part, and in doing this he has indelibly impressed himself upon the hearts of hundreds of the isboring element, as well as the small coterie of professional and business persons. He has helped to make the relations between the two races, the better element, very good, and one can readily see that there is harmony; so much so that the civic conditions among us here are much better than in the average southern town. Among the white physicians he is considered one of the best authorities in the profession. His work in general has been surgery. He has a lucrative practice and is often called in on important cases by one of the oldest and most influential white physicians of this section. Appreciating the very urgent need of an infirmary for Afro-Americans in this town, he conceived plans for the erection of one, and in October, 1912, with the assistance of several other doctors of both races, his cherished desire of seventeen years became a reality. The High Point infirmary is destined to do great work. He is resident physician for the H. N. I. Institute and finds time to lecture on physiology and hygiene. Dr. Gerran is a factor in the A. M. E. church and is broad and liberal toward all denominations. He is among the oldest Afro-American physicians in the state and has devoted much time in helping to make the State Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association an excellent organization. EMANCIPATION ANNIVERSARY. Citizens of Montclair, N. J., Hold Fine Local Celebration. As a precursor of the semicentennial celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation to be held by the citizens of New Jersey at Atlantic City in October the people of Montclair held a most interesting local celebration on Monday, Sept. 1. The program consisted of songs, choruses, addresses and a grand street pageant. The parade was led by Grand Marshal Burr Lee and Captain B. H. Washington. The oration subject, "The New Freedom," was delivered by the Rev. F. H. Butler, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church. The general officers of the celebration were F. L. Epps, president; Miss Alice Smallwood, first vice president; R. D. Spain, second vice president; Burr Lee, treasurer; W. E. Tyler, secretary, and Mrs. M. Chisbolin, corresponding secretary. Australians Win Great Cricket Game. The West Indian Cricket league of Greater New York played two games with the Australian Cricket eleven at Celtic park, New York. The event created wide interest, as it was the first time that a foreign team of white men had ever played a team of colored men at cricket in the United States. In order to clutch the contract the West Indians had to put up $2,000. The amount was raised in a jiffy, and at each of the two games the spectators numbered over 10,000 persons. The antipodeans won both games, but gave the other side great credit for bravery and skill. One of the Australian players was badly wounded in making a star play in the second game. The best of feeling prevailed, however, and there was no other accident to mar the pleasure of the occasion. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There never was a time in which mankind was absolutely perfect in all things; nor do we believe such will be the state of society before the millennium dawn; but, there have been periods in which existed a more wholesome regard for sacred obligations. The tendency to degenerate from exalted conditions is a growing failure; and the affliction is apparent in every phase of civilized life. The Golden Rule is trampled upon daily, and there is a small inclination to render as we would receive. Sentiments, enthusiastically expressed in favor of religion, fall short in its practice; and promises faithfully given are treated with disdain. Through this medium a lack of confidence is created, and operations are hampered, because faith in integrity is destroyed. There are few who, seemingly realizing that the performance of obligations of individuals to each other is the basis upon which prosperity stands; because a solemn trust between man and man removes obstructions and throws wide the gates of opportunities. But when these are closed on account of man's delinquency and indifference to the duties which should direct his steps, stagnation follows; and general depression reigns where peace and plenty should ablieve. Nothing is so destructive to happiness as the unsettled condition which disturbs the repose of communities; and every act which casts a shade over the conduct of society retards to a certain degree, its onward strides. Little forethought relative to the part each is expected to play in the drama of life is exhibited; and we drift along heedless of inevitable consequences. Very often, diligence in small matters leads to control in great ones; and by our failure to properly cultivate the chances by which our varied careers are affected, we forfeit cherished blessings and lose the reward which faithful service begets. Our understandings are experimental, and we are not wise as to the outcome; but where duty meets its requirements, things may be reckoned with a less degree of uncertainty. The wheel of fortune ever turns; at each revolution somebody wins and somebody loses; but winner and loser alike pursue their occupation in hopes of final success. With faith in the honesty of our fellowman, we rest our hopes of triumph; but should he desert our cause in the midst of action, our prospects are doomed to disappointments. Human interests are so interwoven that whatever injuries one member has a baneful effect upon the other, likewise; therefore, it is fitting that caution in dealing should be exercised lest, in our efforts to handicap the progress of others, we do irretrievable damage to our own. Resolutions declaring that the policy of the administration at Washington in segregating the races is a petty one were adopted by the Illinois State Federation of Colored Women's clubs. The federation promised co-operation in preparing for the semi-centennial celebration of Negro freedom to be held in 1915. The state was commended for providing an appropriation for this event. It was decided to hold the 1914 convention in Moline. Among the speakers were Senator John Dailley of Peoria, Bishop Fallowes of Chicago, Rev. A. J. Carey of Chicago, Rev. Charles Virden, visitation agent for the state board of administration, and Mrs. Nora Taylor of Chicago. The National Negro Business league in an address to the public setting forth the achievements of the race during fifty years of freedom, says that the possessions of Negroes in the United States amount to $700,000,000, exceeding the possessions of the white peasantry of Russia. The address further states that while there were 4,500,000 Negroes at the beginning of the civil war, of whom 3,600,000 were slaves, the number has increased to ten million; that only 30 per cent. of the race owns twenty million acres of land, equal to the area of South Carolina. The annual convention of the league ended with the re-election of Booker T. Washington as president for the fourteenth consecutive time. Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss., was elected vice-president; Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., secretary, and Charles H. Anderson of Jacksonville, Fla., treasurer. The statement has been made that life would be prolonged if persons would acquire the habit of stooping by the hips instead of bending the backbone. Polygamy was declared a felony in England in 1604, but it was not until 1866 that the congress made plurality marriages unlawful in the United States. Bullet-proof armor to protect pilot, passenger and motor is required in the latest specifications for aeroplanes for the United States army. Cremation shows a marked increase in Europe. Last year there were 7,555 cremations in Germany, as against 6,500 in 1910. While the millions of Negroes in the south are largely an ignorant people so far as letters are concerned, they are not as a rule a degraded people, declared Booker Washington at Philadelphia. Some of the finest specimens of physical and moral manhood to be found anywhere in the world can be found among the country people of our race. There is a vast difference between ignorance and degradation. Now as to our program for the future. We should make up our minds thoroughly that there is a permanent place in the country for us, and that we have more friends both in the north and the south than we have enemies. We should make up our minds that we are to use material gain and prosperity not as an end, but as a means towards securing and enjoying the best things in our American life. What are our chances and what is the outlook? The large number of independent, prosperous and lawabiding black people right here in Philadelphia partly answers this question. What hundreds in Philadelphia have done others can do throughout the United States. There is a place for at least 900,000 independent, self-supporting Negro farmers. When I was recently in the far west, nothing impressed me more than to note the large number of educated white men who were beginning life as farmers. Often they started in a little hut or "dug out," and suffered privations, but they were sticking to it. Those are the people who in the future make the great kings of industry. There are openings in the south for 1,000 more saw mills and 1,000 brick yards. It is easily possible to find inviting places north and south where 4,000 more grocery stores can be opened. We need 2,000 additional dry goods stores and 1,500 shoe stores. Our race needs 1,000 more good restaurants and hotels. The officers of the Philadelphia Negro Business League's committee in charge of the recent celebration are: Chairman, Charles H. Brooks; secretary, Charles R. Taylor; treasurer, E. C. Dawkins. Other national officers of the league besides Dr. Washington are as follows: Vice-presidents, Charles Banks, Mount Bayou, Miss.; J. E. Rush, Little Rock, Ark.; S. G. Elbert, Willmington, Del.; Harry T. Pratt, Baltimore, Md., and John M. Wright, Topeka, Kan.; corresponding secretary, Emmet J. Scott, Tuskogee, Ala.; treasurer, Charles H. Anderson, Jacksonville, Fl.; registrar, F. H. Gilbert, Brooklyn, N. Y.; assistant registrar, R. C. Houston, Fort Worth, Tex.; transportation agent, A. B. Jackson, Philadelphia; official stenographer, William H. Davis, Washington, D. C.; compiler, S. Laing Williams, Chicago, III. A truckers' association, composed of colored farmers, was organized at Natchez, Miss. About 100 acres was pledged. There were fifty colored farmers at the meeting who evinced much interest and enthusiasm. The assembly was addressed by Prof. G. W. Brumfield, Prof. S. H. C. Owens, Dr. A. W. Dumas, J. R. Ross and James Boyd. Prof. G. W. Brumfield was elected president. J. R. Ross, secretary, and John S. Toles, vice-president. We must not lose faith in our white friends, and above all this we must have constant and unvarying faith in our own race. We must have pride of race. We must be proud of being a Negro as the Japanese is of being a Japanese. Let us go from this great meeting filled with a spirit of race pride, rejoicing in the fact that we belong to a race that has made greater progress within 50 years than any race in history, and let each dedicate himself to the task of doing his part in making the 10,000,000 of black citizens in America an example for all the world in usefulness, law-abiding habits and high character. If an English engineer's plan to run an electric railroad up the side of Mount Popocatepi in Mexico be carried out, passengers will experience a change in temperature from 70 degrees above zero to 10 below within two hours. The French postal authorities are experimenting with American automatic and semi-automatic telephones in two cities with a view to their general introduction into Paris if satisfactory. A new German machine cleans and sorts medicinal tablets, rejecting broken ones, and packs them in boxes or tubes at a rate of from 150,000 to 200,000 a day. Imports from Brazil to the United States last year were $115,000,000, while exports to that country were valued at $29,000,000.

Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland Ohio, as second-class matter Address all communications to HARRY C. SMITH Editor and proprietor, THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, O. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1898 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1913. Do not forget that The Gazette expects you, dear reader and friend, to help it increase its number of subscribers and agents. Are you trying to? When we wrote Minister Furniss, we felt sure the St. Louis newspaper article was "a lie cut out of whole cloth." Read his letter—it is interesting. As our old friend, Dr. John E. Hunt er, writes: "Time files"! We can hardly realize that "we" are "thirty-one years old"—or young. SHOWING PREJUDICE. The following is from Tuesday's Cleveland Daily News: "The Boxing Commission of New York State Rued Wesily When It Refused to Lift the Ban on Bouts Between Whites and Blacks. "And the commission ruled wisely at that in not lifting the bars against mixed matches, for the Jeffries and Johnson bout brought racial feeling that has done no good for the game. Of course Johnson is now out of the country, and probably out for keeps, but it would be courting a serious blow to the game to allow an important bount in this country between a white man and a Negro. And the only chance the white race should be honor and glory enough for any heavyweight." The above was written by a News reporter, by the name of Ed. Bang. Comment, as far as he is concerned, is really unnecessary because his article so clearly indicates the possession of a silly and inexecutable prejudice that everyone who reads can see for themselves. What we marvel at is, that General Manager Leech of the News and the Leader, whom we understand is a New York journalist of experience, will permit any of his employees to so use the columns of that paper. There are 20,000 Colored people in Cleveland who under ordinary circumstances would prefer to patronize the Leader or the News because of their republican tendencies—the only ones of the kind in the city. This they cannot do in the face of such senseless and insulting attacks. It is not that they care any more for the fighting "game" than they do for "Ed. Bang," but because they would resent in the only way that they can, such insidious and quasilicious attacks. Then too, that sort of "rot" (Bang's) ought not to have a place in any clean, up-to-date newspaper, such as we believe Mr. Leech is endeavoring to give the people of Cleveland in both the morning Leader and the evening News. If the Johnson-Jeffries fight hurt the "game," that is at least one thing, in connection with it, the good people of the country and the world have to be thankful for. Would that something would happen that would not only "hurt" but kill the "game." LUNA PARK AGAIN! Out at Luna Park, nearly every day in the year, our people are refused the privileges to skate, dance, bathe etc., freely accorded to the denizens of the tenderloin, just so they happen to be white, who go out there for them, and who are "Negroes" who will attempt to enrich the treasury of the Luna Park management at least once a year usually in August and September, by attracting a crowd of their own kind to that place of amusement. What has become of the Negro's manhood, self-respect, race pride and about everything else, who will so truckle to anything or anybody in an effort to make a few "tainted" dollars, for themselves or anything or anybody else in such a miserable way? That the alleged "emancipation celebration," on August 4th, and the "picnic" on August 18, were not the successes anticipated, and the "celebration" last year, was a failure, is due to the fact that the great mass of manly and womanly Afro-Americans of this community refused to attend them. The few who did, went with apologies on their lips, a rule, and explained that they were there because relatives, some church or other organization with which they were connected, was directly interested in some phase of the unfortunate affairs. Last year, led by the lamented Dr. G. A. Sissle, and other members, our Ministry's Alliance of this city was active in the support of the position The Gazette has maintained all along in this matter. This year the Alliance failed to take the loyal and aggressive stand of last year, but individual members of it, like Dr. Chas. Bundy and H. C. Bailey, spoke out against the "celebration" like MEN, from their pulpits, prior to August 4th. All honor to them—loyal, fearless and many race men. Again, the privileges accorded Negroes in that park, even on August 4th and August 8th, were limited. We are informed that the dancing pavilion and roller-skating rink were not opened to, them until 6 p. m. and 14:54 p. m., respectively, and that the swimming pool was closed to them both days and evenings, as was the case last year. The crowd in attendance was away below expectations, and the attendance at the dinner of the "association" that promoted the August 4 affair, also fell short, there being many empty plates. The fact that white men and women eagerly entered upon the floor to dance amongst the Negroes, each evening, in spite of the effort to keep them off, stamps as false the statement that they (whites) object to dancing beside or with our people, in this city. It is this false premise assumed by prejudiced management that cause color-lines to be drawn in such public places; and it is our people who, with the law favoring them, permit them to be drawn day after day, and year after year, SHAME, O SHAME! The whole conduct of the entertainments, at Luna Park, August 4 and August 18, showed the indifference of the Negro management, to ward their rights, and the courtesies due their manhood (?) and citizenship. And still our short-sighted Negroes continue "fattening frogs to feed snakes"; for, two more of our organizations are announcing "outings," this and next month, at color Line Luna Park where they are well comed on some "special" or particular day out of the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, and even then, in a restricted or limited way May God help them "to see the light as they should" and stop their efforts at such "business" for any purpose whatsoever.

New York City.—Alfred C. Cowan, a lawyer residing in Brooklyn, died suddenly in Norfolk, Va., Sept. 8. He and Mrs. Cowan were on a vacation Alfred C. Cowan, Esq. trip when he was taken ill.

He received his academic training in the public schools of his native state and studied law at Boston University and New York University. He was admitted to practice a quarter of a century ago. AS TO OUR BIRTHDAY. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 4, 1913. My good friend Smith—I notice that The Gazette is announcing that it is 31 years old. By the way, how time flies! Well do I remember the first copy—I was a student at Oberlin College—or possibly at work at the Forest City House, Cleveland, during vacation. So it has been 31 years? Well, I can't realize it—for I am still a boy. Do not tell everybody that you have edited The Gazette 31 years for the first time. I am a man. Any way, we only grow old just in proportion as we act and feel. However, I wish to congratulate you for the principles you have advocated for the race in your life and trust that you and The Gazette may have many, yes, very many more years of good health and usefulness. By the way, my son—John E., Jr.—stopped over in your city, two days this week, on his way home from the east. I am sure he had a good time if he ran across any of my old friends. I hope you are well. Yours most cordially John E. Hunter, M. D. Send or bring locals and all business matters to The Gazette's new offices, Suite 2, Blackstone Bldg. If you wish to see the editor call there and not at his home. Please remember to make inquiry of him or The Gazette. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1913. WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIA BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRE- SPONDENTS. THROUGHOUT OHIO What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical — Marriages. WARREN.—Mrs. Wallace Ormes of Chicago, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones, was the honor-guest at a corn-rosst, at the Smith home in Mineral Ridge, Wednesday night. She had been in Wilberforce, visiting her son, Prof. J. E. Ormes and family, and has had the pleasure of meeting many of her girlhood friends here in Chicago. Mrs. Ormes is proprietor of an up-to-date needlecraft shop in Chicago. SANDUSKY.—The conference year closed at the A. M. E. church, Sunday evening, with good reports. Rev. J. C. Turner left for Pickaway, to attend conference. Rev. G. D. Smith preached for him, Sunday afternoon, and Rev. J. Yauman preached at the Second Baptist church, Sunday evening. He is a member of Dr. Fisher's church, Chicago. J. R. Davies attended church, Sunday. E. B. Garrett has been faithful in E.B. No. 4. The teacher is in charge. The class got the banner, too. Mr. M. Jones was absent, Sunday.—One of the greatest attractions of the week, was a house-plant at Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Taylor's. It blooms every two years. So she invited friends to see it bloom, Friday at 9 P. M. It had an 8 inch flower that was delightfully fragrant. Then she invited her pastor and other friends to witness another flower open at 9 P. M. Saturday. It was grand. It is the greatest flower-novelty in the city.—Mr. Robert Corom of Cleveland, with his sister, Mr. George Thomas, his sister, Mr. Joseph French has returned from a two month's trip in Europe.—Take "the old reliable" Gazette. It is our best paper and ought to enter every Afro-American home, every week. YOUNGSTOWN.—We are reliably informed that very soon after President Wilson took possession of the White House, Mrs. Wilson, the wife of the president, made a visit to several of the departments. She was surprised and disgusted to find that Colored clerks were working in the room with white clerks. She was even more upset when she discovered that Colored clerks and white clerks ate their lunches out of a bucket, paper bag or basket in the same room. She at once caused a movement to be put on foot by which Colored clerks should be separated from white clerks when they ate their lunch, and starting in this way it was easy for the movement to be stopped, as the two classes of clerks when at their work. Mrs. Wilson was born in Georgia. She has not had a chance to grow much and learn much since she left Georgia. Nevertheless, her narrow and provincial ideas have largely prevailed in the departments at Washington. Colored voters throughout the country should remember that if it is disgraceful for a Colored person to eat a white person with a white person, it will be equally disgraceful for any Colored man in the future to vote at the same ballot box with a white man for the election of President Wilson. SMITHFIELD.—Rev. W. W. Grimes preached his farewell sermon, Sunday, and left, Monday, for conference at Piqua. Rev. D. D. Lewis of McIntyre, also left, Tuesday.

AMERICAN LEGATION, Port at Prince, Haiti, September 6th, 1913. Hon Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith: I am in receipt of the clipping from the St. Louis "Globe-Democrat" of August 11th, 1913, said clipping being held by the New York Times. This clipping is an extract from an article of more than a column in Dr. Henry W. Furniss. length which appeared in the New York "Evening World" of August 11th, 1913, purporting to be an account of an interview with one Mr. Marfield Kemp. The clipping you sent me constitutes nothing more than a lie on a par with other lies in the New York "Evening World" article. I was present, in my official capacity, at the funeral services of President Tammel Prince at the Cathedral, on the 4th day of May last, and I have to state that there was not one shot fired into the coffin, nor is such action customary in Haiti, as Mr Kemp would have it appear. Contrary to Mr. Kemp's alleged statement, General Tancrede Auguste was generally well liked. It is true that, during the funeral services there was some disorder due to the fact that one of the would-be candidates for the presidency of Haiti caused some shots to be fired in the building at the Cathedral, which caused a slight panic. This was soon abated, the services concluded and the funeral cortege proceeded to the cemetery. Mr. Kemp, in the "World" article, is made to say that he was the only American present. This is also a lie. As I said before, I was present in my official capacity, and with me was the American president, and with me was also Mr. F. Henry Berlin, an American engineer of Philadelphia, Pa. There may have been other Americans present, but on account of the great crowd it is impossible to say definitely. I have been told, however, that Mr. Kemp was not present. Your I. H. W. Furniss, American Minister. HON. HARRY C. SMITH Race-Lovelist Editor—Ex-Member of the Ohio Legislature. We heartily commend the following comment of the Pittsburgh Courier; "The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette has appeared weekly for 31 years and the Hon. Harry C. Smith, its publisher and editor, gave in the last issue a short resume of his achievements. We congratulate him and his journal and wish them permanent success. Mr. Smith has always fearlessly stood for human rights at whatever he at many times at the height of his personal fame. He was at one time a member of the Ohio State Legislature where he championed the cause of the race with untiring zeal. There are few like him in this country and we hope that he and the great work he is doing will be more fully appreciated." In addition we add that The Gazette is one of the few really anti-Jimmy Carter papers in the country. It is free from that inconsistency and surrender policy of tacitly supporting separate institutions of a semi-public and philanthropic nature. — Boston Guardian.

Blodgett of Jacksonville, Fla. owns a beautiful mansion and nearly 300 other houses, as well as a $5000 touring car. Color lines, &c., are drawn on him, everywhere in Jacksonville and vicinity, just the same as if he hadn't a nickle. The editor can prove clearly that Alexander Hamilton was half Negro. He was born in the West Indies. His father was white and his mother black.—Martinsburg (W. V.) Pioneer Press. Jack Johnson signed up, recently, in London, England, for a month's engagement, at $5,000 a week. He is slated to fight Al Qaeda in American pugilists in Paris, France, this fall. More easy money for Jack. Wm. McLean of Beverly, N. J., went home, Sept. 10 and found Capt. Frank J. Toner, commander of the Beverly company of the New Jersey National Guard, one of the crack commands of the state, member of a large liquor firm, a married man with two children, and one of the most prominent officers in the state, with Mrs. McLean, Capt. Toner had been warned by McLean to stay away from his home. He shot Toner, wounding him in the left leg. The latter then shot McLean in the right leg. Both men were arrested and put under $500 bail for appearance in court. Mrs. McLean was put under $200 bail as a witness. All gave the required bond. The shooting is the outcome of a long period of infatuation of Toner for Mrs. McLean Toner, warning, would pretend to be delivering liquor to McLean's house as an excuse for going there. He would enjoy "social equality." Race discrimination is foreign to the great mass of intelligent Americans. The race prejudice fostered by the proprietors of certain hotels and restaurants is fostered for business reasons only. It is done to please a comparatively small class. While there are signs of increase in discrimination against the Negro in the north here and there, these do not prevent the widening of the divide. Race prejudice cannot gain headway against the stream of intelligence or overcome the fusion of our common life—Chicago Daily Tribune. Cyrus Field Adams, assistant Reg. sister of the Treasury, Washington, D. C., under Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, has been discharged from the Government service. Just before Taft's term was up the covered Adams in under the civil service and transferred him to a per diem clerkship at Chicago. The Democrats discovered old charges; on file, against Adams. **PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.** To submit, in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and the few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. A FREE OFFER. In a Great Effort to Raise a Fund to Pay Off Debt on the Douglas Home — Generous Friend Offers New York Property The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association has inaugurated a movement to raise sufficient funds to pay off the mortgage on the home and provide funds to put the home of the late, and illustrious Douglass in excellent shape. The residence on Cedar Hill, at Washington, with all the furniture, books, curios, etc., belonging to Mr. Douglass, within ten minutes ride on street cars to the White House, was bequeathed to the race to be maintained forever as a memorial and as a retreat where all might go, without charge, and enjoy it and everything which once was the property of the great apostle of freedom. A mortgage hangs over the home, which the trustees for years have been trying to pay off. For lack of funds, the beautiful, historical old house is raped and is repaired, would last disarrange were this home to fall into the hands of the white man, or were its valuable furniture, books, papers, works of art and curios collected by Mr. Douglass to become lost through decay because the race he labored so hard to make free lacked sufficient respect and reverence for his memory to pay off the debt on the home and put in repair the historical old mansion. We call this the New York building in another part of this newspaper offering two New York building lots absolutely free to the largest number of coupons. We urge men and women, boys and girls to enter this contest and assist to raise the necessary fund to pay off the mortgage on the home of our Great Douglass. Start at once, and begin collapsed. forwarding the money, we coompanied by five cents for each coupon sent in. There is an opportunity to secure a valuable lot, which may be worth several thousands dollars to you in a short time, for New York real estate increases in value amazingly fast, and at the same time you will help raise the fund required to preserve the home of that illustrious Negro, Frederick Douglass. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in The Gazette certainly care little, if at all for it. Therefore, we urge you to treat all of our friends to patronize those who ask for your trade in this paper. When your Gazette are not delivered on Friday mornings, call at your Central Postoffice General Delivery Window for them in the afternoon of the same day. —Editor.

E. church, Sunday evening, was fine and worthy of a much larger audience, only 53 being present. It was the best thing of the kind given in that church in years.

Once more do we urge our people to preserve their self and race respect by staying away from Luna Park. Don't be "used" in any such way. People only respect those persons who show some respect for their own as well as for themselves. Have you read carefully our editorial, "Luna Park Again?" Mrs. T. W. St. John gave a very delightful garden-party, Sept. 10, in honor of her guest, Mrs. Florence Clarke of Washington, D. C. The garden was beautifully lighted with numerous Japanese lanterns. Mrs. St. John is indeed a most amiable hostess—all agreed. Mrs. Clarke returned home, Thursday. The social and pin contest given by our City Federation of Women's clubs, at Mrs. D. Quinn's, chairman of the ways and means committee, was a delightfully successful affair. She deserves much praise. An excellent program had been arranged. The recitations by Mrs. Anderson, pres. of the Mothers' club, were repeatedly encorched. The Federation specializes in assisting young girls in securing an education. One is attending Oberlin college, and the other is trying to complete a high school course. Both girls are highly recommended, and dependent on their own resources to complete their education. The president of the Federation is greatly encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by the clubs and predicts a successful year. The public is invited and eager to thank all who contributed to the success of her social. * * * * Mrs. Robert Anderson of Newark, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O..SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1913. and her sister-in-law, Miss Dora Anderson of Lancaster, who have been visiting their cousin, Mrs. L.

HELEN OGDEN BACK There was a great feeling of sorrow and dissatisfaction when Miss Ogden terminated her relationship with the Ogden Theatre, which has since been known as the Alpha Theatre, the same as during the S. C. Green regime. At last, with pleasure she returned to her family among her friends. She has secured a lease on the Orile Theatre, and it is now "THE OGDEN," and she pur- THE LADY Miss Helen Ogden. poses to conduct it upon the same plane of respectability and social affability which she showed during her former business connection on the avenue. There is no question regarding the success of the "NEW OGEN" as Miss Ogden exemplifies not only all the womanishness in her business, but with those traits, a business personality rarely found in the "weaker sex". There were certain opposition interests on the "Avenue" which tried hard to keep Miss Ogden out of business but she has overcome all obstacles and is now starting in the path which will mean not only success to herself, but will mean the personal gratification that she has earned. The number among the crowds to whose entertainment she has already catered. With her usual diplomacy she has secured the exclusive franchise, for Cleveland, of all the attractions playing the "Dudley Circuit" which is the only acknowledged Colored Vaudeville Circuit in the world, and she will present weekly attractions of sterling merit. In the Photo-Play department she has been calling for the leading and best picture films as they may be released. So, "Helen", we welcome you back, we are coming often to hear you, say "thank you", and to see that broad and happy smile which is a part of your very self.—Adv. The Church of God and Saints of Christ, E. 37th St., near Central Ave. has been newly decorated on the inside and painted on the outside, and the furnace has been overhaulied. So the church is ready for the hundreds who attend. A fine picture of Bishop W. S. Crowdy, founder of the church, hangs on a side wall and the ten commandments are back of the pulpit, on the wall. The congregation furnishes the music instead of a choir and organ. Foot-washing is one of the commandments and members salute the pastor on arriving with a religious kiss. Rev. J. E. Davis, the pastor, will have a big rally, Sept. 28, to help raise the next $500 payment on the church property. If you were too black to be admitted to Luna Park roller rink all summer, except "jim-crow" days—Aug. 4 and 18—we would be too black to be "used" on Monday and Tuesday evenings now that the park is closed, even if "COLORED PATRONS" are especially solicited on these evenings. Tell Fred T. Berry and every one else who may think differently. Have some of our people do like some of our people will do, and submit to, almost anything to make an "easy" dollar. The following was received last week: "Wm. R. Irving of 9515 Gibson Ave., S. E., announces the marriage of his daughter, Esther Georgia, to Sergt. George P. Cooper, Wednesday, Sept. 10, at dr. and Mrs. George Richardson and Mrs. Washington C." The family couple will be "at home" after Sept 24, at Fort Myer, Va.

KILLS A COLOR RESOLUTION. Courageous Army and Navy Conven tion Commander Says Colored Man Has Won His Philadelphia, Pa.—The Color line was barred in the convention of the Army and Navy Union here, Sept. 10, Asserting the Constitution of the U. S. has no Color line in it, and neither has the constitution of the Army and Navy Union, National Commander George Russell Downs declared Captain John C. Daly, department commander of the District of Columbia, out of order when Daley at the time of his arrest, which it was said, was designated to segregate the white and Colored members. Daley, who is a captain of police in Washington, took the floor and was about to offer his resolution, when other members and delegates from various sections of the United States refused to listen. Cries of "Sit down!" "Out of order!" and other remarks were made, when National Commander Downs said that an effort to the union vigorously rapping for order. "The black man has won his right to be in the ranks of the Army and Navy," said Commander Downs, "by standing up with us shoulder to shoulder and fighting for the preservation of the country." DIVIDES HIS PLANTATION Among Former Slaves—Only Condition That They Must Not Borrow Any Money on Them. New Orleans, La—Thirty Colored people at Monroe, La, were made happy, Sept. 10, when William Reilly, president of the Luzianne Coffee Company, notified them that his fine plantation would be divided among them, and good houses erected on each subdivision. He enjoined, however, that they must not buy a farm of the crop lien system. Recipients of Mr. Reilly's bounty are descendants of his father's slaves. In announcing his intention, the benefactor said: "You must not buy anything on credit. I have arranged with a bank to give each of you what you need, and you must me know how to cultivate this is only on one condition—that you ask credit of no one." Will some one of our readers name the local Afro-American ministers who attended the Aug. 4 and 18, 1913, "jim-crow" celebrations at Luna Park and thus showed their favor of "jincrowism" and the whiskey, wine and beer selling, out the whiskey. Who are they now? The extent of the last year and the years previous. L. S. Oliver, Robert Corom and Miss Janet Brown visited in Lorain recently. After spending two weeks in Baltimore and Philadelphia, Mrs. Ida Fountain went to Atlantic City, N. J., where she is enjoying the ocean backyard. Mr. James Smith, central P. O. employee, returned from Baltimore, early last week, very ill. Current rumor has it that the Union Club of St. Andrew, has been disbanded and that Rev. B. W. Paxton director of the B. P. W. Paxton office "tickets" at the dance at Puritus Springs, given recently by one of the church organizations. Rev. J. E. Thompson, former pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, East End, now located in Columbus, where he has a good charge, recently returned from Winfall, N. C., where his father died, Aug. 19th. Rev. Thompson writes the Gazette that he is "a good field friend, preaching the gospel, also living it." Commodore Perry in his great battle of Lake Erie, had 430 seamen, 109 of whom were members of our race. So one-fourth of his men were our people, and not one-sixth or one-seventh as in Noah Chamitai's chanitai week. A least one battalion of the regulars, in attendance upon Cleveland's, and all other "Perry" celebrations should have been composed of Afro-Americans, thus paying tribute to one-fourth of Perry's fleet crews. Mr. and Mrs. Robert White of Milwaukee, who are visiting her mother, Mrs. Caroline Clayton of 2343 E. 30th St. Mr. White left, Wednesday, for Norfolk, Va., to visit his daughter whom he has not seen for 17 years, and whom he did not hear from for ten years.

York building lot Free BASEBALL Mike Mitchell is holding down center field for the Pirates in grand style. Dauss is considered by far the most reliable twirler on the Tiger staff just now. Bill Dahlen, it is said, is threatening to give King Cole a chance with the Dodgers. Water baseball is all very well for the players, but it does not cool off the spectators on a hot day. A Brooklyn paper carries openly the odds quoted on all ball games in both leagues each day. Joe Boehling is said to be pitching better ball since his winning streak was broken than before. Carl Lundgren, once with the Chicago Nationals as a pitcher, will coach the University of Michigan baseball club. Bill O'Connell, former Roxbury, Mass., high school athlete, probably will be given a tryout with the Red Sox. Umpire Klem's feelings were damaged $10 worth, it seems, when George Pierce called him a "fish" from the bench. Now that he is hopelessly out of the pennant race, Tinker is going to devote most of his time to trying out recruits. It is said that the Quakers wanted Josh Devore because of his inside knowledge of the methods used by the Giants. The Browns have only Stovall, Pratt and Shotten batting at all respectably. Most of Stovall's club own averages around .200. Ping Rodle has been quite a while coming into his own, but now that he has arrived he says that he is going to stay. Fred Clarke says this season has been his most trying year in baseball, and he has had a great many years in the game. Roy Patterson, former Sox star, but one of the Millers for many years past, is pitching as good ball this year as he ever did. Casey Hagerman comes back to the big leagues as a Cincinnati Red after a brilliant record with Denver in the Western league. Ray Caldwell, besides being classed as a coming pitcher, does good work in the outfield when called upon to fill a gap there. Elmer Brown, the new $7,000 Brooklyn pitcher from Montgomery, was once a member of the Cincinnati Reds under Clark Griffith. Ira Thomas, catcher for the Athletics, is said to be dabbling in politics, with the ambition of some day becoming an alderman. Joe Tinker will get another chance to lead the Reds without much doubt. Joe has made a better showing with the team than was expected. It's a pretty safe bet that the New York National's option of $500 on the services of Outfielder David Robertson of Mobile will be exercised. A St. Louis umpire wants $25,000 because a ball player spoiled his nose. He seems to have a high opinion of what his beak used to be. New Orleans papers are beginning to speculate on just when the Charlie Somers league will start protecting Frank's players from the draft. Miller Huggins is out to build up an entirely new team, he says. He is willing to trade anything and everything he has if he can see any advantage in it. Eddie Collins of the Athletics is the leading run getter in the American league while Miller Huggins of the Cardinals enjoys the same distinction in the National league. A report comes from New York that the district attorney's office has determined to put a stop to the baseball pools and has arrested one man charged with running a pool. Boston has been no pleasant place for the Cubs all season. George Stallings has some way of getting the Braves worked up to a winning point whenever they try real hard against the Cubs. Nearly 70 per cent of the cerebrospinal meningitis cases are now cured in the Rockefeller institute, which goes to prove that Johnnie Evers is not doing all the important work in the world. Outfielders Wilson and Duncan, purchased from Dallas by the Boston Braves, are two of the strongest hitters in the Texas league. Pitcher Cutting of Milwaukee has made a good record of wins in the American association this season and is likely to advance next year. Joe Birmingham of the Cleveland Naps says Johnny Evers may he champion crab, but he wishes he had nine crabs on his ball club just like the Trojan. BIG RECORD FOR YOUNGSTER 1 Joe Boehling of Washington. Joe Boehling, a youngster with Clark Griffith's Washingtonians, won eleven straight games for his team recently. Should Boehling keep up his good work the climbers may have a chance for the big flag next year. as Washington would then have two of the best hill men in organized ball in Johnson and Boehling. Pittsburg has six scouts on the road. William Hodge, star pitcher of Williams college, is to get a try-out with the Browns. Outfielder Collins, who was sent to Buffalo by the Braves, probably will be used as a pitcher. Cravath's ambition is to put a ball over the left field wall at the Philadelphia National league park. Billy Grayson's bomb labeled "war on organized baseball" made a noise resembling a fluke firecracker. Jim Scott is not far from being the leading pitcher in the American league, on the basis of earned runs scored off pitching. Frank Chance says that Joe Boehling will curve himself out of the big tent in three short seasons. "Tis better to have curved and blown than never to have curved at all. Bill Phelon says Tinker is figuring out some way to poison Chief Johnson. The Chief recently complained of potamine poisoning and then went out and pitched a three hit game. Bill Lathrop, a big recruit pitcher of the White Sox, thinks the Cubs have picked up a wonder in Williams, its new left fielder. Lathrop and Williams played on the same team at Notre Dame. SPORTING WORLD It's about time to hear from Gotch, Zbyezko, et al. Norman Taber, National mile champion, will do no more running this year. Los Angeles wants 1914 national lawn tennis tourney, usually staged at Newport. Yost has invited 35 men to report for work on the Michigan football field this fall. Queen Mary of England is said to be a golf enthusiast and may play at Balmoral this fall. Tom Jones announces that his man Wolgast will get a fight in the fall with Champion Ritchie. Members of the Leland Stanford Rugby team have started their practice for the coming season. Alf Shrubb, the Harvard cross country coach, will call his men out to practice as soon as college opens. J. B. Joel, an English turfman, recently paid $236,550 for Prince Palatine, said to be the best horse in the world. Joe Malcolmson, ex-National A. A. U. low hurdle champion, is now in business in Chicago, and has hung up his spikes for all time. James I. Wendall, Wesleyan, 13. a member of the American Olympic team in Sweden, has quit athletics "while he is good." For the first time in many seasons the Polo grounds will harbor one of the big college games. Dartmouth meeting Carlisle at the home of the Giants. "Fighting Fred" McKay, of New York was knocked out by Carl Morris of Oklahoma in the third round of a scheduled twelve round bout at Winnipeg, Man. Crescato races better in front than anywhere, which is a family trait, as his granddam, Fantasy, was notorious for her dislike toward any position but the one where there is no dust. English polo players have already started practice and are laying plans to take another shot at the big cup which they failed to lift this year. Tommy Ryan, the ex-welterweight boxing champion, is going to open a boxing club in Syracuse and is also thinking of again entering the ring. Uhlan, the world's champion trotting gelding, stepped the first two-minute mile ever recorded in Michigan when he was driven at 1:52 3-5 at Grand Barida. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1913 HUNGARY OLD STATE HUNGARY OLD STATE Has Been an Independent Country Since Year 1001. is a Beautiful Land of Immense Endless Plains, Great Rivers, Lovely Lakes, Deep Forests and Most Magnificent Mountains. London. Although tourists in Hungary have discovered mineral springs in the valley where visitors contain medicinal properties they have not yet invaded the charming country districts. Not far from the fashionable hotels and sanitariums, are queer, quiet lit the villages never seen by travelers of the beaten path. It is a beautiful country of immense endless plains, great rivers, lovely lakes, deep forests and magnificent mountains. Since 1001 it has been an independent sovereign state and a kingdom, over which at present his majesty, the Emperor Franz Joseph, ie king. His subjects include 9,000,000 Magyars, light and handsome, who occupy the fertile plains; 5,000,000 Slavs in the outlying districts and Croatia; 3,000,000 olive-complexioned Roumanians on the hills and mountains; 2,000,000 Germans on the edges of the Carpathians and Transylvania; 1,000,000 mixed races, a large part of which are gypsies or Jews. There is plenty of room everywhere and everything is far apart. A church, an inn, and a few rows of neat little houses make up the villages. Some of the very best residences are surrounded by specious grounds and a high-spiked fence. Many of the cottages are painted in pale yellow ochre and have roofs of brownish-gray tiles. A blue band about two feet wide is painted around it just below the eaves, and is stencilled by the women with red and orange fruit and flowers. A narrower plain blue stripe surrounds the bottom of the walls. This color denotes that the occupants are of Slavonic descent. Gypsies use yellow instead of blue. The gable end of the house is usually next to the road, and stretches back a long distance into a yard, where the house is located. A arch over the doorway may be seen a picture of the Madonna. It is not customary to knock before entering any house or room, and all doors contain so much glass that there is very little privacy even in bed chambers. The small homes are immaculately clean and neat and there is usually a green-tiled stove. Tables, chairs and boxes are richly carved in old native designs. Strips of handsomely embroidered linen done in indigo color or white are on the walls. The towns are patrolled at night by watchmen who are Typical Hungarian Village. obliged constantly to blow a long, low note to prove beyond doubt that they are not asleep! Everybody dresses elaborately in a riot of vivid colors, the different villages clinging to different styles. Peasant women of Agram wear snow linen made with many pleats; jackets and sleeves are richly embroidered in red and orange; purple line drapes the head. In Zsdjar bodices are ornamented with broad bands of gold and silver embroidery; sleeves being of white linen with crimson at the shoulders. Girls go bareheaded with hair oiled down tight and flat. Fastened to the back of the head is a tomato-colored sash which separates into three streamers that pass beneath the waist band and reach to the knees. On their feet are block top-boots with fancy heels. WOMAN MARRIES HER JAILER Miss Jesse Carmen, Who Killed a Man, Weds Sheriff in Wyoming While on Parole. Sheridan, Wyo.—While on parole from sentence of from four to fourteen years for voluntary manslaughter, Miss Jessie Carmen of this city married Former Sheriff Jack Neal of Bufalo, Wyo., who was sheriff of the jail in which Miss Carmen was incarcerated during her trial for the death of James McCoy of Sheridan. The young woman was convicted April 10, 1910, of voluntary manslaughter and the case was one which attracted wide attention. It was during her imprisonment in the Buffalo jail that the romance which culminated in her marriage to her jailer was begun. SLEEPS IN TREETOPS, IS SANE Man Tried for Sanity on Complaint of Neighbors Is Released From Custody. Northwood, N. D.—Arrested because he persisted in sleeping in trees and making himself at home generally among the branches, Oscar Johnson appeared before a board of commissioners on insanity. He was pronounced sane. Neighbors of the man declared he slept with apparent comfort in the tree tops, where he is said to have passed most of his time. Officials said he might continue to make his abode in the tree tops without further molestation. NEW YORK'S BRITISH SECTION New York—The British, like the French and the Germans, love their own quarter of the city. Here, south of Fourteenth street, is almost the only part of New York where you may hear the Cockney dialect. A few millions of New Yorkers do not suspect that any such quarter exists, but it must have been familiar to many a prosperous British resident in the days when he was a homesick newcomer to find the "mutual comfort of the mother tongue" among his fellow Britons in the characteristic resorts of the region. For a generation or more a saloon of the quarter, not many years ago owned and conducted by a man with a characteristic lowland Scotch name and a taste for the ruder sports that Britons love, has been the resort of Like a Bit of Old England. Englishman, Scotchmen, Welshman, rarely of Irishmen, and never, except by accident, of anyone speaking a foreign tongue. Here unmistakable Britons of many types gathered to eat luncheon of cold roast beef off the joint; drink the imported English malt liquors, talk horse and scare the ticker for news of the races while yet racing flourished as a tolerated form of commercialized sport in New York. The talk is of sport rather than politics, of Great Britain rather than America. The place has long been a sort of second home to the homeless newcomer, though it begins to show signs of coming change. The British quarter would be an admirable place for an English speaking man to live if he wished to disappear from the ken of the great world unptown. All over the less active streets of the quarter are sunny, respectable looking houses of no great size, where lodgings may be had within a stone's throw of one or another quiet, shady little park. Indeed, it is almost the only quiet part of lower Manhattan. Bleecker street would be the anchorite's shopping district, and he would find here and endurable restaurants. Indeed, a man with a taste for study and the quiet life might do far worse than to bury himself in the British quarter under a vow never to venture outside the limits of its soothing domain. BECOMES AUNT TO HERSELF Now Young Bride Has Learned That Her Marriage Was Unlawful in New York. New York—Because American law does not permit a lady to become her own aunt, little Mrs. Annie Ergas of 4 West One Hundred and Fourteenth street will lose her husband. Eight months ago, as Miss Annie Ergas, fifteen, she traveled to the United States from a little village close to the Dardanelles to join her family. It was a case of love at first sight when her uncle, her father's youngest brother, saw her descend the gangplank. The parents smiled and agreed when he asked her in marriage. The Ottoman law does not prohibit such an arrangement, and there is a Biblical sanction for it. Four months ago the couple were married by an alderman. Ignorant that they had disobeyed the law here, they lived happily together until two weeks ago. At that time the Federation of Oriental Jews heard of their case and explained the situation to them. Then they were eager to right the wrong. At the request of the federation Monroe M. Goldstein, an attorney of 140 Nassau street, brought for them a suit for annulment of the marriage. This is now pending in the supreme court. MAKES RAID IN DRESS SUIT New York Police Inspector Poses as a "Man About Town" and Raids Gaming House. New York—Inspector James H. Gillen of the Third police inspection district posed as a man about town in order to gain entrance to an alleged gambling house on East Thirty-eighth street, near Fifth Avenue. In immaculate evening dress he presented himself at the door of the place and was admitted. Having satisfied himself of the character of the place, he called in three of his detectives, who had been waiting outside and carted away a costly roulette layout. No arrests were made. The names of five patrons of the place were taken. Young Woman Autolist Fined. Lawrence, N. Y.-When hauled into court on the charge of speeding her automobile at a forty mile an hour clip, Miss Stella Weingartner, pretty, aged nineteen, of Edgermore, N. Y., admitted to the judge that she knew fifteen miles an hour was the limit, "but, judge, fifteen miles is just a crawl—I couldn't think of having my machine crawl like that." The judge fined Stella $10 for not "crawling," whereupon she said that she'd left her pocketbook on the piano and would be back later in the day and "cough up." ON THE FUNNY SIDE The stout party had been in the boot shop for over an hour, and the patient shop assistant had had half the shop down for her inspection.
