GERMS IN LETTER Death Lurks in Note Sent to Wealthy Woman. An Unknown Writer Demands That $25,000 Be Placed at Foot of a Monument in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Chicago, Ill.—Millions of deadly germs were found in a "death letter" sent to Mrs. Frederick Steele, a wealthy Highland park resident. Chemists employed by the postal authorities verified the presence of the germs but were unable to determine their precise nature. The letter warned Mrs. Steele that the letter contained 2,000,000 malignant bacillus, and that by opening it she already had become infected with a tropical disease for which the writer possessed the only known cure. He demanded that $25,000 be placed at the foot of a monument in Lincoln park. If this were done a serum cure would be sent Mrs. Steele by mail. The Steele letter follows in part: "Dear Madam: Having received my diplomatic letters and bacteriology at Heidelberg in 1907, I came to the United States to study a serious contagious disease which was most prevalent in the United States. There were over 13,000 fatal cases of this disease recorded last winter, 284 in Chicago. After four years' experiment and study I have succeeded in discovering a serum which will last winter covering a serious form of the germs of this disease in the human body, if used before the ninth day after infection, but I have not yet succeeded in discovering a serum which will act as a remedy in far advanced cases." It continues that the writer has exhausted his means and has been working in the slums, where last winter he cured 100 of his patients. The following was then typewritten in red: "By opening this letter you have liberated about 2,000,000 of healthy bacillus propagated by myself. Without a doubt you are infected by this time, but do not become excited—my prophylactic will decrease your chances of this disease in the body if used before the ninth day. Read further and do not leave the room, as you do not want to infect the whole house. Take off the garments that you wear and then spread them out on the floor or over a chair in the next room. "Next, burn this letter with a match, also in the same room, to avoid spreading of the disease. This letter and further directions you will find in the germ proof envelope, but do not open it until later. *Take germ proof envelope and leave to beadle. Be advisable to keep locked for six months. There followed a description of the disease and its symptoms. GIRL IS AWARDED $3,000 CLAIMS SHE WAS UNWILLINGLY PUSHED OVER BUMP THE BUMPS AND HURT. New York City.—Margaret L. Doran, 18, was awarded $3,000 damages by a jury before Supreme Court Justice Kelby because her spine was injured as a result of being pushed down the "bounding billows" slide at Steeplechase park. Margaret told how she had mounted the long stairway to the sport of "bump the bumps." When she sat down at the top the long slide scared her, she told the jury, and she said she did not dare to make it. An attendant told her she must go ahead, and when she still demurred he gave her a shove. Blasts Fatal to Six. New York City.-Six men were killed, four injured and all Staten island was plunged into darkness and deprived of trolley car service for hours by the explosion of two mammoth boilers in the plant of the Richmond Light & Power Co. at Livingston. A 300 foot section of roof was torn off and tons of debris were hurled 250 feet into the air and dropped in Staten island sound, following a terrific blast. A moment later a second explosion smashed out half the front of the power house. ENDS YEAR OF BIG RESULTS Recent Meeting of Time Honored Religious Organization Held in Nashville Not Surpassed by Any of its Kind-Program of Brilliant Features Showing Progress of Denomination. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Nashville, Tenn.-The session of the woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist convention recently held here, was the biggest and best in the history of the organization. No organization of women is raising as much money and doing so much real work as this organization. Miss Nancy H. Burron is the executive secretary and to her is given the credit for the best "juille" anniversary held this year. The souvenir printed program is a gain. It is attractive and unique, brimful of facts touching the achievements of the race in this country. Her unique arrangement in pyramid form of the achievements of the race MISS N. H. BURROUGHS. has called forth great praise. The jubilee badge was another device that showed the clever work of a master mind. It, too, contained facts touching achievements of the race. A great poster called "Triumphant Trudging" showed the progress of Baptists in every state since the first church was started near Savannah, Ga. The state buttons told the number of Baptists in the state. Miss Burroughs' annual report showed real achievement. The frank, clear, practical discussion of all the big problems stamps the woman most capable for the great work to which she was elected for the twelfth time by acclamation amid cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. Everybody ought to have one of these valuable programs for his library and one of the reports as a textbook on social problems now to be solved. But the biggest achievement was the getting out of the jubilee message—a brand new song book containing 250 brand new selections. Two songs, "We Have Fought Every Race's Battles but Our Own" and "The Prophecy," were written by Miss Burroughs. The former is destined to become as popular among us as "Dixie" and "America" are among the whites of our country. The book also contains ten of the best jubilee songs. The music at the convention was the best ever heard in any great religious gathering. The woman's convention raised over $21,000 during the year and about $3,000 at the Nashville meeting. Great men and women came from every section of the country to deliver addresses, to pledge themselves anew to co-operation in the work of uplifting our people. This meeting was not given up to making big speeches without laying big plans. The women are going to build a memorial arch at the entrance to their training school in Washington. They are to erect a $25,000 building on the grounds to meet the demands of this growing institution. The girls from the training school covered themselves with glory. Every feature of the big program was a star number. The needlework exhibit, under the direction of Mrs. Emma L. Cabanlss, was a great success. Mrs. Eva Hieks and Mrs. Eva Hooper of Chicago had charge of the supplies, and no women worked harder for the success of the big meeting than they. Miss Geneva L. Staniz and Miss Ophela Porter, sweet singers connected with the school, gave unusual service and ingratiated themselves into the hearts of the thousands who heard them sing and saw them co-operating in the work of the convention. Mrs. M. M. Glimore of South Carolina won the jubilee medal for the best field work in her state during the year. Miss M. Helen Adams, the social worker, who has been doing slum work in Glasgow, Scotland, for fourteen years, is to take up work under the auspices of the convention and conduct a center in Washington. The women are certainly planning great things, and then they are pushing the plans. The center opens Oct. 10 and has a great field and, we believe, a great future. WELL QUALIFIED PASTOR. Laborers of the Rev. Abraham Lincoln Demand Cover Wide Field. He has been chaplain of the Iowa state legislature. In the year 1898 he was made a life member of the American Missionary association.

D., after twenty-two years of service in his church is one of the leading colored Congregational ministers of the United States. SCHOOL AT NEW AUGUSTINE INCREASING IN USEFULNESS. What Principal E. H. Woods Is Doing For St. Augustine Institute. The St. Augustine Industrial institute at New Augustine, Fl., is steadily coming into prominence and greater usefulness as an educational center for the people of that section of the state. The school was founded in 1903 and is chartered under the laws of the state, but not under its control. It is mainly supported by voluntary contributions. Instruction is given in English and the various trades under competent teachers. The principal of the school is E. Howard Woods, a young man of sterling worth and character, who is intensely interested in the development of the work. Mr. Woods spent the summer in the north working in the interest of the institution, and met with much success in acquainting the public with the work and needs of the school. The board of trustees is co-operating with the principal in the work with much earnestness and vigor. The outlook for the present school year, which began the first week in October, is very promising for a large enrollment of students. The members of the board of trustees are: Dr. D. W. Roberts, chairman; E. H. Woods, secretary; S. M. Mayes, treasurer; Rev. G. M. Ellott, D. D.; L. Daniels, Rev. C. S. Daniels, D. D.; R. B. Bassa, H. H. Williams and E. L. Anderson.

Mrs. Dora Cole Norman has been selected to direct the dancing, with instrumental music under the direction of Augustus G. Dill. The stereopicture picture show promises to be a great feature of the exposition. Mrs. Marle Jackson Stuart will assist Mr. Burroughs in the arrangements for the pageant. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS UNREST IN RANKS OF ODD FELLOWS CAUSE OF PRESENT PLIGHT. Failure to Elect Chief Officials at Last Biennial Meeting Held in Atlanta May Embarrass Friends of Grand Master Edward H. Morris, Who Favor His Re-election. Boston.—The next meeting of the biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held in this city in September, 1914. The meeting will be a notable one because of an effort on the part of some of the members of the order to get control of the affairs of the fraternity. Edward H. Morris of Chicago, the present grand master, is being groomed by his friends for re-election, it is said. He has already received the endorsement of several district grand lodges. Mr. Morris has served seven years as grand master, but there was an intervening period during his occupancy of the position. As the last session of the biennial movable committee, held in Atlanta, failed to elect his successor, therefore he and the officers elected at Baltimore three years ago are still holding on. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the present deputy grand master of the order, is also being strongly backed for the position. He has the backing of his jurisdiction—Georgia—and has received assurances of support from various sections of the country. At the last session of the biennial movable committee Mr. Johnson would have probably been elected grand master of the HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. order if he had not declined on account of his having been committed to the candidacy of Benjamin J. Davis. The latter has declared that he will not enter the fight next year, but will devote all of his energies to the continued upbuilding of the order. Mr. Johnson is the present recorder of deeds at Washington. He is a graduate of Atlanta university and the University of Michigan law school. He has been prominent in the affairs of the order for years. His friends say that his election will make for the conciliation of the various factions in the order. There are many candidates in the field for the other prominent offices in the order. Benjamin Nelson of Harrisburg, Pn., is being talked of to enter the race against James H. Needham of Philadelphia, who has been secretary for many years. Julius C. Johnson of Baltimore will have opposition for reelection as grand treasurer, and should there be a new subcommittee of management selected Hary S. Cummings of Baltimore may lose out as attorney general of the order. The biggest fight will take place over the question of the abolition. Grand Master Morris is said to have been one of the most enthusiastic champions of its creation, but he and his followers in the order are now regarded as opposed to its continued existence. One of the anomalies of the situation is that those who will most likely be rival candidates at the coming session were formerly working in unison when it came to matters affecting the order. The Atlanta Independent declares that "Johnson's election means freedom of speech and freedom of action among all the members of the order." The friends of Grand Master Morris claim that he is the ideal candidate and that the fact that he has served a previous term of four years and that also he will have been in office another four years when the clans meet again next September does not legally bar him from re-election, as the law provides that no officer save the grand secretary shall be elected for more than two successive terms, and this does not apply to Morris since no election has been held. Energy of Brooklyn Mothers' Club. The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Mothers' club will celebrate the third anniversary of its founding Oct. 30 by giving an exhibition of the home work of its members, such as plain and fancy sewing, embroidery, cooking and preserving fruits of various kinds.

Enlisted Men Were Enroute to Mississippi-Alabama Fair at Meridian Where They Were to Have Given Drills. Mobile, Ala.—At least 25 soldiers were killed and more than 100 injured when a special train carrying 175 enlisted men of the United States coast artillery jumped the track on a high trestle near here, according to a report received by Assistant General Manager M. J. Wise of the Mobile & Ohio railroad. The train was a special running as the second section of a regular passenger train on the Mobile & Ohio railroad. The soldiers were bound from Fort Morgan for Meridian, Miss., to give an exhibition drill at the Alabama-Mississippi state fair. The wrecked cars are down in a ravine 60 feet deep and the suffering of the injured has been terrible, although the soldiers who escaped injury have done noble work. Every effort to obtain names of the dead has been futile on account of the great distance from a railroad station. The trestle on which the tran was wrecked was totally destroyed. The tender, baggage car and coaches either followed the engine into the ravine or rolled over a high embankment that was the approach to the bridge. Harvey E. Jones, the passenger agent in charge of the train for the railroad, was internally injured, and S. R. Prulttk, the train conductor, had both upper and lower jaws broken. The officers on the train were Capts. T. Tolbert and the former in command, and Lieuts. Edward Barlow and Calvin M. Smith. The men were the crack members of their respective companies, having been chosen for their excellence in drill and other maneuvers. HURT, SPURNS FIRST AID Miner, With His Back Broken, Refuses Help Until His Two Daughters Arrive. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—As Thomas Pointon, 50, a miner in the No. 8 colliery at Avoca, lay with a broken back in the chamber, where he was caught by a fall of coal he refused to permit first aid men to give him any help until his daughters, Elizabeth, 11, and Catherine, 14, were brought to his side. The girls were lowered into the mine and hurried to their father. Pointon, who knew his back was broken, refused to go to a hospital and was taken home, his daughters accompanying him. He was told he could live only a short time. Woman Claims $300 Columbus, O.—State Treasurer John P. Brennan has found a claimant for $300 conscience money that recently came to him from Hamilton, O. Mrs. Glenna Stewart, a former Ohio woman, superintendent of schools at Canton, Mont., believes it may be hers. She was robbed of $300 by a purse snatcher here last winter. She enclosed an unsigned letter in which the writer tells her the stolen money has been turned over to the state treasurer. Train Hits Auto, Two Die. Dayton, O.—Walter Kreitzer, 30, a plumber of Trotwood, about six miles west of here, and his wife, Ruth, 25, were instantly killed and Wilbur, their four-year-old son, fatally injured while returning from the country in their automobile, which was struck by a Pennsylvania passenger train. It is believed the occupants of the car failed to note the approach of the train, as the curtains of the automobile were in place to protect them against rain.

Hotel Raleigh, Washington, D.C, has changed back to white waiters, notwithstanding the fact that the Colored waiters rushed in during a strike, about a year ago, saving the management from embarrassment, in- convenience, &¢, It was the white waiters’ organization that finally re gained, for them, the ground lost dur- ing the strike. When will our waiters and others—learn the lesson this teaches? —— Aldwin C, Babb of N. Y. City, Aras recently awarded judgment for $100 against Ralph Hlsinger, an “Empire City” saloonkeeper, who refused him “accommodation” ‘in that “public place.” This is the first Atro-Ameri- ean victory under N. Y. state's new civil rights’ law, known as the Levy law, the enaction of which was se- cured by the Jews - of that state. Blsinger was also assessed the costs (of the case) which would naturally increase his outlay to about $200 or $250. Good! Wonder If Plsinger is a Jew? Superior Court Judge Marcus of Chicago, and Gen. Botha, the new Minister of Native Affairs, South Af rica, have recently delivered strong pleas for justice for the Afro-Ameri- ean and native African of color, re- spectively. There are other evidences, fat home and abroad, that even the “dark clouds” of the present day race. prejudice and the consequent pro- seription—worse than ever before— have their “silver lining." We won- der if these and other similar evi- dences are indications of the growth of a reactive sentiment that will help to regain the ground lost in the last twenty years and to materially im- prove the condition that existed at that time? We sincerely hope so. OUR OPPORTUNITY. ‘The meeting of the’ Progressive Re publicans in Chicago, some months ‘ago, ought to put our people on thel mettle. The attempt to reorganize the party by eliminating voters o the south was made, The southern states will not have the representa tion in the national convention they have had. heretofore. Every republt ean in the south, white or black should fight this to the finish. The suggestion to do this is most coward ly. It 1 @ surrender on the part ot so-called republican progressives. to ‘the unjust political laws of the south. ‘To do this, far as the republican par ty is concerned, is to say to the dem ocratic south, we leave the field t you, do with it as you please while ‘we shall attempt to inveigle the north, east and west into supporting our “white government scheme.” If Sen- ators Borah, Cummins and the fest believe that this 1s progress, they are much mistaken, It is the acme of retrogression and reaction. It was Mr. Borah who accused the republi- can party of being insincere on “the ‘Nogro issue,” during the discussion on the amendment to the U. S. constitu: tion for the election of Senators by the people. The south desired it but Wished each state to be judge of its electorate. Republicans desired su pervision by the federal government. In his proposal to curtain the represen: tation from the south, he convicts himselt of unfairness to both white ‘and black republicans there. The south is solid by reason of ballot-box ‘stuffing, fraudulent counting, deliber- ‘Ate stealing of ballots and intimida- tion. The machinery of election is in the hands of democrats, and with this they do whatever pleases tHem. There never Was a more diabolical machine fa the worid than the present demo- cratic political machine now operat- ing ju the south. With an honest count, with conscience and right rul- ing at any election, the democratic tower in the.south would crumble and fall. Republicans know this. ‘The oft- repeated lie that this condition exists there to save the south from “the blight of Negro domination,” is decep- live and misleading, It is said that jn the south would go if the Negro was given free- dom at the polls, and to avoid this, democrats resort to violation of jus- Hee, stuitifying of conscience and de- berate destruction of our republican form of government. The democratic machine doce this to keep decent white men from taking the govern. ment. Sonic of the best white men of the south are in the republican party. Many more would enter if there were an opportunity, Republl | caps may get ten votes to democrats’ unworthy of a United States Senator to propose what he knows is the legal izing of one of the worst crimes against the elrstorate of this country that the world*has ever seen. If this is progressive republicanism, give us the most pronounced reactionary. If Mr. Cummins and Palmer would re organize the republican party to Win, let them have courage of statesmen. Let them follow Lincoln. ‘The south has no right to the representation it has-in Congress. It has disfranchised half of its electorate ; yea! more than half, but it still enjoys the represen: tation of this disfranchised half. If these gentlemen would take time to refresh their minds on the require: ments of the fourteenth article of the constitution and the second section of this artiéle, they would retuse to be parties to such a scheme. The demo- cratic south, if it-had the justice of the constitution applied to it, would not have half of its present represen: tation in Congress or in the electoral college. Do these -epublican gentle- men believe that the progtessive world will accept this as a real reor- ganization of the Republican party? If 0 they aré mistaken, The reason why our white republican friends re- fuse to interfere with this democratic chaos in the south is, they are afraid they will be styled “Negro lovers” against “white supremacy.” Justices, gentlemen, knows no color. The fact [is, the present rule of democratic ruin in the south is just as disastrous to it now as was slavery years ago. ‘There is no democracy in the south, It, is simply an oligarchy. Under democratic rule in the south for the last twenty-five years, the civilization of the south has gone back fifty years. ‘The whites are more illiterate today than they were twenty-five years ago. ‘The respect for law was never less in barbarous country than it is now in the south. ‘The arms of civilization and christianity were never more par. alyzed in any country than they are at present in the south. The influ- [ence of the politcal machine per. vades everything. The pulpit became its loudest herald and the press its Diatant promulgator. "The red shirt, the emblem of murder and death, was jand is its sign of terror. ‘The walking jarsenal 1s the wateh-word, for every man, upon the least provocation, can send forth bullets whether in church or on the streets. ‘The courts are sim- ply a farce. They know their masters and they seek to please them. The oath of an officer is not worth the pe per that will hold:the words contained in it, The “poor white trash” is given absolute liberty to do what it pleases with Negroes while they themselves are being reduced to barbarism. The | democratic south knows what we say is correct and the world knows it. ‘The “namby-pamby” republicanism now attempting to rehabilitate itself, must fail. Had the republican party had courage to pass the Lodge Bill of the “eighties,” it never would have been in its present plight. Had it lis- tened to the warnings of Crumpacker of Indiana, mo Progressive party would have been possible. Lodge and Crumpacker were right then and their principles will “apply now. If the south is determined to distranchise half of its electorate, then it should re the consequences. As it is to- ad; it has the advantage over the other portions of the country. The Progressive republicans desire _to make it permanent. Because Mr. Roosevelt objected to the southern delegation last year, 1s no reason why the south should not have its proper representation. If that rule is applied to the south let it be applied to every state in the union. But to apply it to every state would be dodging an issue TWO—Garette 0. eee eee ee of righteousness. WE WANT THE CONSTITUTION APPLIED TO THIS CONDITION. Colored voters every- where ill resent this discrimination because it is done because of color. Any party that is too cowardly to take up the U. S. constitution. and apply it to the south, does not deserve sup- port. If conditions now were re- versed, the south would apply the axe, and that without hesitancy. It would be doing right. It has the courage of its convictions even if they are half f the time wrong. The party of Lin- coin is now minus the courage and righteousness of Lincoln. There should be @ national gathering of Col- ored men this year or early in next. ‘These men should come together not as democrats, republicans and pro- gressives but as Colored men fighting for thelr rights as American citizens, Great policies should.be discussed and unity of aetion decided upon, WE MUST BE FREE MEN WITH THE BALLOT, OR SLAVES WITHOUT IT, A Colored man, like all other men, has the right to vote as he pleases; but flrat of all, he should seek to have his people secure that right asa race. This we have not done. ‘There is too much voting for political “PIE.” The “ple” too, does not “cook” very fast under some conditions.

Wer Should Vote or e She Mr, Terrell, whose likeness appears above, is a candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Cleveland. His candidacy is particularly pleasing to the mass of people who for years have been clamoring for the educated and able man to take a greater part in municipal and governmental affairs. This is not, however, Mr. Terrell’s first appearance as a candidate before the people of Cleveland. He was for four years @ city magistrate and as such helped to bring order out, of chaos in. that branch of the city's courts. His administration of that offlee has been highly commended by many of the prominent lawyers in the city, Mr. Terrell was also a member of the last Legislature and took a Most active part in the deliberations that meant so much to the people of Ohio, following, ax it did, the adoption of the new constitution. "The last ses sion of the legislature was the most important that has convened at Co- lumbus in the last half century. In this session of the Legislature Mr. ‘Terrell proved his ability, broad: ‘mindedness and spirit of fair dealing ‘with all classes of people affected by the varlous legislative matters brought before them for consideration. Through his efforts much” valuable constructive legislation was enacted into law sand many obnoxious pro: ‘visions were eliminated from other bills. Especially was he very acttve ‘in bringing about the defeat of that ‘Nicious. dill known as house bill No. 27 by Mr, Reppert, which soight to discriminate against the Colored race anid open up the old question of race ‘prejudice, Mr. Terrell is at present engaged in the*xeneral practice of law with the firm of Dawley, Ewing, Counts and Terrell at #11 American ‘Trust Bldg. His past experience in Judicial office and as a practicing lawyer well fit him for the position of Judge of the Municipal Court, He Is absolutely fair and fearless and pos- Sesses natural judicial temperament, which qualities. make him an ideai candidate for Judge. Mr. Terrell Is married and his family is: blessed with four children.—(We ask our peo Ble to vote for Mr. Terrell becauize he showed practical friendship for the race when he led the fight for us on the floor of the House of Representa: tives against that vicious anti-inter marriage bill, last spring, He Is capa bie, a gentleman and a friend of the race, DO YOUR DUTY!—Eaitor,) (Ady.). Last Monday about 2 p. m., while a representative of The Gazette stood in a drizzling rain, on Euclid Av., near E. 9th St., waiting for a car, a young man of the race, about 23 years Of age, who claimed to be in the city from Montgomery, W. Va., and in the employ of a wealthy mine-owner, ap- proached and asked the whereabouts of the “New Southern Club,” saying that the night before two white men, whom he had met on the street, and who had warned him against going among his own people in Central Ay., had taken him out “for a good time.” with the result that he had lost $45 and his employer's gold watch and chain. He said that they had_prom- ised to return the watch and $25 if he appeared at the club, Monday after- noon, with $200, he having told them that ‘he had $800; that his boss paid him $70 a month, and was very good to him, He showed the representa- tive of The Gazette $200 and claimed to have $800, saying this was his first trip away from home. We learned Jater that the same individual was Seen up Central Ay.; several weeks ago with $500 in packages of $100 each, and diamonds galore, in addition to pocket money, At that time, it is said, he fell into the hands of gam- blerg, He claimed then, that he and his boss were en route to California, The boy seemed of unsound mind, as well as very “green.” The last’ we saw of him, Monday afternoon, he was being chaperoned by a tall, very neatly dressed, good looking “sepl- brown” member of the race, who im- rested us as being able t@ do for the young man even more than‘the 2 newly- made white acquaintances did on Mon- day evening. We tried to save the young man but in vain and were very forcibly reminded of the old saying, “that a fool and his money soon part.” The “seal brown gentleman” had Promised to help him find the two white fellows who relfeved the young man of his cash, and his employer's watch and ohain on Monday night, but, of Goutes,. didi't. FOVARGUE ABLY ANSWERED! October 18, 1918. Hon, H. C. Smith, Editor, The Cleve- land Gazette, City. Dear Sir,—I read with some amuse- ‘ment the letter from that unfair man, L. N. Fovargue, candidate for the City Council from Ward 11, in your issue ‘of October 18. . I am surprised that a man with such hatred in his heart for my race, as Fovargue has, would send a letter to a newspaper printed in the Interest of the Colored people. This man Fovargue, two years ago, ina letter he wrote to Mr. I. D. Lafferty, then a member of the City Councii from Ward 26, objected to having E. 25th Place opened through to Cedar Ave., because he (Fovargue) did not want Colored people on Cedar ‘Ave,,.where he owns property. In this” same letter he asked Mr. Lat- ferty to use his influence against this street opening. Here is the exact language this man Fovargue wrote to Councilman Fitz: gerald, speaking of me, dated July 3, 1913: “Besides making the letter public which I (Fovargue) wrote to Mr, Lafferty in regard to the open- tae of Re eh PDR: ofa Wve the pepple responsible 8. because the letter was private and personal tos brother belonging to the same Lodge as I do, Woodward Num- ber 508. 1 had the misfortune to put a “sentence in this letter which was fanned into a flame by some for per- sonal gain and by others for revenge.” Again, Mrs, John Sheeuan, white, one of his tenants on Cedar Ave, brought suit against Fovargue last pring for foreibly ejecting her from his property. I was reutined by Mrs, Sheehan to represent her in this mat: ter. In court during the trial this fel- low Fovargue said on the witness stand that he could not understand why Mrs. Sheehan went on Central Ave. and retained a Colored lawyer, He also wrote to Mr. Fitzgerald of July 3, 1913, these words: “How he (Fleming) got to giving this woman his council I do not know, for she was a white woman by the name of Shee- han.” When Fovargue says that Mr. Fitz: gerald removed me from Precinct F, Ward 11, as clerk, he tells a deliber- ate falsehood. I resigned on my own accord, as Mr. Edward Horn, then Deputy Clerk of the Board of Blec- tions, will testify, for the teason that my business was such that I could not spare the time, I ask Fovargue: Why prevarieate about Mr, Fitzger- ald? In view of thege facts, let me ask, How can any self-respecting Colored man in Ward 11, vote for such an enemy of the race as Foyargue? God forbid that there should be one, Very truly yours, ‘Thomas W, Fleming, Ady. WRITTEN BY “THE OLD RELIA. Ble” cazerre’s conAE. SPONDENTS.

As every one knows Shelton Brooks and Bowen are two of the greatest and best song writers, singing and dancing comedians on the stage. When it was announced, the first of the week, that they were to be at The New Ogden theater, the week of Nov. 17, with two other first-class vaudeville teams, in addition to exceptionally well-received station was immediately created among our people of the Central Av. section of the city. Miss Ogden, an experienced entertainer, on and off the stage and a member of the race, has not only made a decidedly favorable impression upon all with whom she has come in contact but has thoroughly established herself in the good-will of hundreds of motion-picture and vaudeville theatre enthusiasts. In addition to the great show at the New Ogden next week. There will be three fine, new vaudeville acts direct from the east, in addition to the motion-pictures. -Adv. Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, former resident of this city, now located in Washington, D.C., where her husband has a clerkship in the government departments, is in Paris, France, "seeing the sights and taking lessons in French language." She has already visited many points of interest on the continent and "is studying social and industrial conditions in the countries" through which she travels. Mrs. Clifford inherited money and some valuable property here and in Columbus, as well as a business (hair store, &c.) here, on a loan, and a mother, some years ago. Since she left Washington, Mr. Clifford's salary ($1,400 year) has been reduced $400 by the democrats, according to the Washington, D.C. correspondent of the N. Y. Amsterdam News. The same writer stated that he was likely to lose his job because he would have a swell dinner in honor of the manager of the Howard Theatre, Washington, D.C. Last Monday evening at the cozy home of Mrs. Josie Crawford, a linen shower was given Miss Cora P. Johnson by the Thimble club, the Junior stewardesses and Junior teachers of St. John's church, and a number of other friends. The party resolved to have Miss Johnson was thoroughly tested on matters pertaining to household economy. She was successful in all her "exams" and pronounced worthy of becoming a member of the club. The last test found her climbing the attic stairs and taking from the line the many splendid pieces of linen given her by the friends present. The out-of-town guests were Mrs. Esther and her mother, of the bride-to-be; Miss Frances Morton of Pomeroy, and Mrs. Dolly Moore Oliver and mother of Albany, N. Y. Mrs. Eugene Adams, as hostes, superintended the serving of dainty refreshments. Old fashioned "motto hearts" flowers and huge bows of ribbon, worn by the ladies, were much in evidence. The evening proved a happy one and the evening proved a happy one. Assistant Johnson weds a Mr. Jack son of Akron, at Mr. and Mrs. Wm McIntire's, (the latter a sister) this Saturday, evening. N. TOMAROE Republican Candidate For the Council in the 11th Ward. Mr. L. N. Fovargue, one of the three republican candidates for the City Council in the 11th Ward, who resides at 2256 Carnegie Ave., was born in Cleveland, thirty years ago. His parents—Captain D. F. Fovargue, who served through both the Civil War and the Spanish American conflict; came to Cleveland in 1840; and his mother, Alice E. Mather, whose parents came to Cleveland from the east in 1825, being of the early settlers of America. Mr. L. N. Fovargue received his education in the Cleveland school system three years in a private school, has read law for the past four years, and has had ten years' business experience with one of the largest commercial houses in Cleveland. He also runs a truck farm in the suburbs of Cleveland and owns real estate in the eleventh ward. Mr. Fovargue has been a consistent worker for the extension of Central, Cedar, Carnegie Aves., and the Chestnut Hill School. He is 25th Place cut through rightly, making a real street and not a narrow "Bernstein-elbowed" alley as he has been advocated by previous councilmen. He is one of the everyday people of the ward and, if elected, will work for the best interests of the ward and for the many different races and nationalities living therein, whose welfare has been forgotten by former candidates as soon as elected. He is a son of a veteran; and the Civil League considers him qualified for the position. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION, OF OHIO SHORT BALLOT FOR STATE OFFICERS.

BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS PATRICIA IS ENGAGED DUCHESS OF MANCHESTER HAS TIGHT PURSE STRANGER TO CAPITAL CITY SOCIAL LIFE GEORGE W. GUTHRIE. AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN Princess Patricia is engaged. At least that is what the Londoners are saying. They have said it before, many times. But this time "they say" it is so. And this time there is good reason to believe that they are right. It is quite probable that an official announcement will soon be made of the beethrothal, this beethrothal that will be a real one. The wedding will probably take place the early part of next year. ```markdown ``` Prince Adolph Friedrich, heir to the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, is the lucky man. Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, sister of the late Duchess of Teck, and consequently an aunt of Queen Mary, is said to be responsible for the royal match, for there are matchmakers in royalty as well as among ordinary non-titled folk. At present the direct line of the grand ducal family of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is in danger of dying out. That is one reason why Grand Duchess Augusta is so anxious for the young people to marry. If this match succeeds she has reason to be quite proud of her ability as a real matchmaker. She will be second to none. She will have succeeded where the late King Edward, as well as many other people of title, have failed. "Marrying Patricia" has been one of the problems of royal English society Recent news from London that the duke of Manchester was again in the m London that the wrist was again in the hands of loan sharks, and that Papa Zimmerman had once more come to his rescue, is really nothing new. Never since the duke became of age, his grace been a going concern that paid dividends. He has always been in the hands of receivers. And worse yet, no amortization fund is in sight to retire his outstanding liabilities, for. hands of local sharks, and that Papa Zimmerman had once more come to his rescue, is really worth new. Never since the duke be came of age, has his grace been a going concern that paid dividends. He has always been in the hands of receivers. And worse yet, no amortization fund is in sight to retire his outstanding liabilities, for unfortunately, he has no means of renewing his ducal franchise. It was something of a shock to Mr. Zimmerman when he learned. November 18, 1901, that his daughter had eloped with the duke and been married very quietly in London. Miss Helena had been traveling abroad with her aunt as chaperon. The duke had been attentive to her for more than a year, but denials always followed rumors or an engagement. London knew very well that the duke had been adjudged a bankrupt in August preceding his wedding, and that his career as a young man had been wild and filled with unusual escapades. Mr. Zimmerman made the best of what he considered a bad bargain. There is nothing wrong with the duke's title. He is William Angus Mrs. William H. Thompson, wife of the senator from Kansas, and one of Kansas, and one of the recent arrivals at the capital city, is as yet, an utter stranger to official life there. She is typical of the energetic, capable woman of the middle west, and so youthful in appearance, that it seems incredible that a pretty young daughter just turned eleighen, may be among the season's buds. The Kansas statesman and his wife have just twelfth anniversary celebrated the nine of their marriage. It has been made plain by the Japanese people' that George W. Guthire, college the new American ambassador to Japan, is the most popular en voy that Uncle Sam has ever had in the land of the mikado. On his arrival on Aug. 2, an enthusiastic reception w a s given him and his popularity h a s been growing every hour since. JOHN H. HARRIS Ambassador or Guthrie was former mayor of Pittsburgh and on appointment, Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador at Washington, said that both the United States and Ladies' cricket matches were not uncommon in the eighteenth century, and were apparently highly popular. In 1747 a game between the Malds of Charlton and the Malds of Singleton in the artillery ground, London, attracted "the greatest number of spectators ever seen at any public diversion." In fact, the finish of the game had to be postponed owing to the breaking in of "the company" whereby "some of the players were very much frightened." In 1758, too, for several years. It has been a difficult problem. Princess Patricia is beautiful. She always has been. Marrying her to a suitable prince was not difficult because of her lack of charm or beauty, for she is one of the most attractive and popular of the royal family. There were suitors from far and near. But Patricia herself was the problem. She smiled on them or at them. She coqueted and flirted. She led them to believe that perhaps she really cared. But in the end, when the fatal question was asked, Princess Patricia laughed, and the answer was always "No." Princess Patricia is twenty-seven years old, old enough for even a royal princess to consider matrimony seriously. Years ago, when royalty married at sixteen, she would have been considered an old maid. Today she is "just the right age" for matrimony. She was born on March 17, 1888. St. Patrick's day and her own name, Patricia, evolved the name "Pat," and as "Princess Pat" she is known to her dearest friends and to the people who are most interested in her. `Princess "Pat's"` whole name is Princess Victoria Patricia Helen Elizabeth of Connaught. She is the daughter of the Duke of Connaught, governor general of Canada, the only brother of the late King Edward. Princess "Pat," in spite of her title, was brought up simply at Bagshot. The Duchess of Connaught had her own ideas as to how a princess should be trained and educated. She brought up her two daughters according to those ideas, with the result that the two princesses, Margaret and Patricia, were considered the most beautiful girls in England when they were first formally presented at court. Drogo Montague, duke of Manchester, earl of Manchester, Viscount Mandeville and Baron Montague. He inherited from his father proligate tendencies and the ducal seals of Kimbolton castle, Brampton park, Huntingtonshire and Sanderangn castle, in County Armagh, Ireland. But these properties were hopelessly mortgaged before Manchester began his search for an heirness. There was no marriage settlement, but the duke confidently expected that Mr. Zimmerman would, once the duke had captured his daughter, open his heart and his safe deposit box. But Mr. Zimmerman knew more about the duke than his grace reckoned on. He had heard, doubtless, about his escapades. So, when Kylemore castle, a beautiful estate comprising 13,000 acres in County Connemara, Ireland, was bought to provide a permanent home for Manchester and his bride, it was learned that the purchase price of $15,000 had been provided by Mr. Zimmerman, who went a step further and protected himself by taking title to the estate. The duke really became a tenant of his American father-in-law. The duchess of Manchester carried the same shrewd American business sense into the management of her household affairs. She holds the purse strings and has had a constant struggle to keep the duke within reason in his expenditures. Mr. Zimmerman has never made a settlement upon his reckless son-in-law. He has provided handsomely from his millions of securities, consisting of railroad, industrial and mining stocks, for the two children. Mrs. Thompson pleads guilty to the full indictment of being a clubwoman but all the organizations to which she gives allegiance are concerned with affairs of moment to the state and to the nation generally. Believing fervently in the useful woman, Mrs. Thompson long ago joined the temperance crusade and she has always earnestly, by word and deed, promoted its tenets. She is perfectly logical in her position and believes that statewide prohibition is the one way to combat the alcoholic evil. She holds the other method of throwing precautions about the sale and regulating the traffic has not resulted in sufficient benefit to warrant continuing this way. What is of reach of all, the strong as well as the weak, ceases to be a temptation, and for this reason, she has thrown all her enthusiasm and personal influence against modifying the strict laws which now hold against the sale of strong drink. Japhan were to be congratulated upon the appointment by which the important, mission of representing the United States in Japan had been placed in hands so able and distinguished. "He is the right man in the right place," said Viscount Chinda. That the mikoado holds the same opinion extended to Mr. Guthrie on his arrival in Tokyo. The imperial coach was sent to meet the American envoy and he was escorted through the streets of the city by a regiment of cavalry. Two Opinions Mr. Crimsonbeak—This paper says that undoubtedly the longest lived animal is the whale, its span of existence being estimated at 1,000 years. Mrs. Crimsonbeak—Now I hope you see the advantage of sticking to water. "Well, who wants to live to be 1,000 years old, anyway?" at Upham, in Wilts, eleven married played eleven single women for a plum cake and a barrel of ale. The cake and ale went to those who lacked husbands—London Chronicle. A Poor Stick. "I'll never go joy riding with that Johnny again," declared the first chorus girl. "Why not?" inquired the other half of the sketch. "He wouldn't smash his auto, badly as I need advertising." THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 25. 1913. SPORTS Football is going to be introduced into Iowa prison. University of Texas has a player named Slaughter. Chicago expects Stagg's team to win the conference title this year. Snow, Llewellyn and Whitney form a sturdy trio in the Dartmouth back field. Brown has only five veterans, Captain Henry, Bean, Mitchell, Casey and Andrews. Walter Eckersall says the new rules are better than any others in the history of football. Germaine, a former Carlisle star, has been engaged to coach the line candidates at Villanova. Eddie Vanderboom, former Wisconsin halfback, is assisting Head Coach Juneau with his alma mater this year. Penn's strength this year is said to be in the line instead of the back field, as has been the case the last few years. John McGovern of Minnesota, former All-American quarterback, has signed to coach McAlester college in St. Paul. Boland, whose name appears from time to time in reports of the Princeton practice, is the former Mercersburg and Lafayette star. Jack Bennett, Penn's best end in the early '90s, says that the present Quaker squad looks better to him than in any recent years. Barrett, who is starring at Cornell, is a brother of the Barrett who played on Penn State several years ago. The brothers hail from Cleveland. Law is proving a more consistent drop kicker than Hobey Baker at Princecon, but the latter can get more distance into his attempts. Howard Jones, the new head coach of Tate, says if men on his eleven get hard knocks he does not intend that they should expect apologies. Harry H.

CHANGE IN DRESS STYLES AT·HAND Long Waist Line Is Surely to Have a Return to Former Popularity. FASHIONS' LEADERS LIKE IT Already Seen in the Gay City, and This Is Taken to Mean its Adoption—Fox Skins in White and Black Always in Demand. Paris.—In a recent article I spoke of the newest waist line; the ultralong waist which has taken everyone by complete surprise, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. It must not be supposed that this waist line, as applied to blouses and coats, is in general use. This is not the case. But it is quite certain that this new outline is making itself felt, and strongly, in the world of afternoon wraps and autumn costumes, generally. A few very smart Parisiennes have been wearing, with great success, long waisted blouses which closely resemble a schoolboy's pinatone. These have been seen on the Grande Plage of Blirrtz and on "Les Panches" at Trouville, but of course they are too eccentric to be adopted by the average woman. Every one, however, will be made to realize that a change has taken place in the world of dress—a sudden change which has thrown many calculations completely out of order. If you carefully study the latest fashion plates you will learn something of the change to which I have just alluded. In a black taffeta costume which is trimmed with bands of white fox, the waist line is hardly indicated at all; but the peculiar straight "up and down" outline, now so popular, is shown. Model is Redfern's. This is a new and very original model by Redfern. Another of the late styles shows one of the newest long-waisted coats. This costume was specially created, in Paris, for the Duquesa de Arion, a lovely woman who is attached to the Spanish court. The material was a heavy make of peau de soie, in two contrasting colors. This is the latest idea, and it is an admirable one. Bright colors are often chosen for these silk costumes, and they are almost always trimmed with bands of handsome fur. The original was made of a rich quantity of peau de soie in fuchsia-red and dark powder blue. The blue skirt was softly draped in front, and it lay in folds over the hips. Then the Russian blouse was made of fuchsia red silk and bordered with black fox. Wound around the figure, well below the normal waist line, was a wide sash of soft black silk. The coatée bloused over the sash in a marked manner, and in front it opened in a deep V over a smart chemisette of ivory white muslin, inset with lace and enriched with fine embroideries in the two colors of the silks. All sorts of full colors are combined in this way, such as smoke gray and lizard green, rust red and Egyptian blue, violet and japonica. When bands of black fox or of sable are introduced on these bright silks the ensemble is exceedingly harmonious and attractive. Russian and Persian Tunics. On many of the new winter models we find Russian blouse tunics introduced; also the Persian tunic to which I have just alluded. The Russian blouse style is more popular than ever this season. It is specially suitable for the supple clothes and liberty cashmere which are now so much used by our best dressmakers and tailors; and then the richest furs can be successfully introduced on blouses and coats of this order. This will be essentially a fur season. The most costly borders and bands will be seen on the best of our winter walking dresses and the most fragile evening gowns will be trimmed in the same way. It seems strange that we should have a fur season just when all the most popular skins, such as black and white fur and sable, are especially rare and costly, but the truth remains. We must be largely trimmed with fur if we wish to be in the fashion! I spoke in one or two of my recent articles of the growing popularity of fox skins. It really seems that the Parisiennes can not have enough of this soft fur in pure white or dead black. The rage for red fox continues unabated, but none of the really exclusive women of fashion will accept this style, except as a passing fancy. They are already utterly tired of seeing red fox skins hung up, in hundreds, in the windows of the big stores; and they are disgusted, naturally, with the blatant imitations which are being freely sold in Paris bearing the label "Real Red Fox." One of the furs which will be very fashionable in the coming season is stone-marten, cleverly tinted to the Russian sable shade. This is a rarely lovely fur and very becoming. For the collars of big, picturesque wraps, or for straight stoles and muffs it is ideal. The Paris furriers tint these skins to perfection. They manage to Life Need Not Be Narrow. Our life is just as narrow as we let it be. If we live in a lonely country place miles from a railway, we can study the plants and animals about us until we come to understand something of the secrets of the universe. If our lot is in a great city, we have opportunities of studying human nature—seeing with our own eyes the development of characters as strange as ever novelist put into his books. Multitudes of men walked the same streets with Dickens without seeing a make them look absolutely natural and the applied dye never wears off. A really fine set of tinted stone-marten is a valuable possession, and this winter it will be the light of the fashion. Notes on Winter Millinery. I mentioned in one of my recent articles that velvet is going to be the leading material of the winter season; and this is specially the case where hats are concerned. For special occasions white velvet hats and toques will be very much worn and black velvet will be seen on all sides and on all sorts and conditions of hats. Short-haired furs will also play important roles in the millinery world, especially that lovely, very costly fur known as bretschwanz. On the bead I have sketched this week you will find one of the newest toque models, carried out entirely in bretschwanz. This is a Cariller model, and it represents the latest ideas of the most famous milliner in the These soft-crowned tam-o-shanter toques are going to be very popular. They will be worn with plain tailored suits and also with the picturesque dress now so popular, which consists of a plaited skirt and a loose mantle. A toque now being worn is quite supple. The beautiful silky fur seems to frame the face and hair, and the juanty looking mount of black feath- Copyright Underwood & Underwood Model of Sand Tissue Trimmed With Braid Motifs.

We are going to wear a good many close-fitting hats and toques this winter; and side by side with these we shall have picturesque shapes in beaver and velvet which will recall the wonderful hats shown in Winter-halter's paintings. COPIED FROM BABANI ROBE Maternity Gown That Is Rapidly and Deservedly Coming Into Favor. A maternity gown which is rapidly coming into favor because it is easily made as well as becoming and graceful, is copied from the Babani robe. If the material chosen for the garment is very wide, the gown may be cut in two pieces so that the seams shall join under each arm and up each sleeve as far as the shoulders where the edges button or hook over from front to back—after the garment has been drawn on over the head. Crepe—silk or cotton—is an excellent material for the Babani maternity gown as it is usually very wide and cuts to the very best advantage. Moreover, the fabric lends itself readily to stenciling and there are innumerable charming designs which may be produced as a bordering for a skirt, the loose sleeves and the rounded-out neck of the robe. Gold on blue, rose, green, brown or gray makes an effective bordering and silver is lovely on black, mahogany, flame, male or maue. The Babani does not literally drag upon the floor but when the model is used for a maternity gown, it is always better to have it long enough to entirely cover the feet as otherwise it will lead its wearers an awkward appearance. Odd Handbag. An odd handbag in white suede has a spray of flowers cut across the front. This resembles the English openwork embroidery, for the edge of the cuts are embroidered. A dull blue satin was placed under the flower design, while green was placed under the leaves. hundredth part of what he saw.

The colonel of a certain regiment sent for the bandmaster one day and complained very bitterly of the band, which he described hotly as a "disgrace to the regiment, sir." Naturally the bandmaster, who was very proud of his band, was most indignant and demanded to know what was the complaint about it. "Why, sir," said the irascible colonel, "the men who march in the front rank and play those instruments they push in and out"—meaning the trombones—"cannot keep time, sir! They never by any chance push in and out together. I'll have it changed, let me tell you." It was no good the bandmaster explaining that each man played a different note and that each note was formed with the slide in a different position. The colonel still persisted that the effect was not uniform, and vowed that he would order the men to be drilled until such time as they could push in and out together!—Strand, Magazine. Muffled Knocks. "Certainly, Brinkwell, my dear fellow; you might just as well take a month's vacation as not. It won't make a particle of difference in the bustiness." "Mr. Scorjel, your eyes don't need any professional treatment. I shall merely recommend that you wash them in water—just plain clear water—at least once a day, when you are giving your face its regular ablation."

"Anything unusual about this suicide case?" asked the city editor. "Yes. There were bichloride of mercury tablets in the house," replied the reporter. "Nothing unusual about that," snapped the city editor. "Yes, there is," retorted the reporter. "The fellow was so old fashioned he hanged himself."—Detroit Free Press.
