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.

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.

There is no question re: garding the success of the "NEW OG. DEN” as Miss Ogden exemplifies not only all the womanliness of a true woman, but combines 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 ehe 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 of the thousands of friends she can number among the crowds to whose entertainment she has already ca- tered. With her usual diplomacy she has secured the exclusive franchise, for Cleveland, of all the attractions playing the “Dudley Cireuit” which is the only acknowledged Colored Vaudeville Circuit im the world, and she will present weekly attractions of sterling merit. In the Photo-Play Gepartment she has entered into a special contract calling for the lead: ing and best picture films as they may be released.
