THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR. No. 50. IN UNION IS STRONG FORTUNE TELLER MAKES GETAWAY "MADAME" POSED AS MATCH MAKER GENERAL "SEER" AND A HEALER IN CÉORCIA GATNERED IN JEWELRY AND MONEY Negroes Couldn't Get to Her Often Because of White-Folk Crowds. Galinesville, Ga.—Jewelry, money and valuable ornaments belonging to the women of Galinesville—possibly amounting to $2500—disappeared a few days ago when Madame Zelma, clairvoyant, departed without leaving a forwarding address. The contributions were gathered up by the woman whose real name is said to be Mrs. Eva Gallagher, in a first sojourn here as a marvelous forum teller and worker of miraculous curses. It develops now that her most pertinent divining power was her ability to perceive the prosperity enjoyed by the people of Galinesville, in common with the rest of the South, and the gullibility of women spenders. The "Madame" came with a tent and a carnival, expecting to stay a few days and hoping to pick up a fair return for reading the future for the few who ordinarily would be attracted by the Oriental glamor of such an outfit as bors. She spread the word that she was a matchmaker for beautiful lovers and before she could think of departing from town women from the poorest and wealthiest families were seeking advice. It was easy after that. She sent the tent away and rented a cottage where she continued to receive the elect of the town with their offering: of gold and silver and jewels. There was usually a fee—50 cents to $5, according to the ability of the client—and after a preliminary reading the Madam would ask that some piece of jewelry or money that had been worn or carried by the person, be left with her for a few days, in order that through it the spirits might reveal to her the future of the owner. One young woman left a $20 in valentine, a full ring, several diamond rings and others various sums of money. Negro women, pretty well off with cotton money, literally swarmed to the "Madam's" house to hear her words of fattery and rosy pictures of the future, but usually had trouble getting audiences because of the ladies, prior demands upon the former lady. Then Mrs. J. W. W. Simonds, wife of an alderman-W. elect, came seeking a cure, and was told that the cure would be affected if she would wear a necklace made of currency. She gave the fortune teller $2000 in bills with which to make the necklace and received in return a paper affair to wear around her neck. She became curious and opened the thing, finding that it was filled with worthless paper instead of the currency. The madmen however, had hurriedly departed from town, leaving word that she was to meet her husband in Atlanta. She had not had an "opportunity" to return the valuables left with her. Inquiry revealed that she did go to Atlanta, but nothing could be learned about her. So the women of the town are now mainly concerned with hiding their losses from their husbands. FACE OF OLD STUDENT FOUND TO BE D'AUGHTER'S Dean Recognizes Likeness After Thirty Years, Then Girl Clears Up Mystery Eugene, Ore.-Prof. John Straub, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at the University, of Oregon, is noted for his ability to remember faces. Recently he was judge of a Cebate between students of two-grade schools. Miss Velma Kizer was a member of one debating team. As she was speaking, something about her face and manner r called the past to Dean Straub. It seemed as if an old friend suddenly had appeared as young and woman and he two years ago. "Can there be two persons in the world exactly alike?" he asked himself. "Is it true that folks come back? Surely this is Mary Porter." At the close of the debate he spoke to Miss Kizer, asking if she ever had heard of Mary Porter. "I ask," he said, "because to all appearances you are she." "Mary Porter?" Miss Kizer asked in nationishment. "Why, that was my mother's name." "Ah, now I see," said the dean; "so you are Mary Porter's daughter. She was one of my students thirty years ago." The dean had remembered the girlhood face of the mother thirty years and had recognized the striking resemblance in the face of the daughter. —Buy War Savilas Stamps— THE GAZETTE FRESH OHIO NEWS What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical—Marriages, Deaths, Etc.

C.—Once more the attention of the public has been called to the signal service which the black troops of France have rendered to the cause of the Allies. Recently that service was made the subject of a complementary resolution in the French Chamber of Deputies, and it is now announced that a black deputy fromongeed trailing through French Wines with a French wife, having voluntary enlistment among the different tribes that people those vast territories. The announcement could not come at a more favorable time than the present, when the Afro-American newspapers are enthusiastically praising our troops at the front for their bravery, self-abnegation, and exemplary bearing. As for France the French black forces, which number at least 120,000 men, are concerned, their conception of service has assumed a form of patriotism almost religious in its sincerity. STENOGRAPHERS SOUGHT. State of Ohio Needs Workers in Many Departments.

COL CHARLES YOUNG Our people of the world over, more than any other race, group, lend themselves to service and sacrifice for the love of principle or an ideal.

CHARLES YOUNG, Colonel U, S Army, Retired Made to Congress by the National Liberty League. Washington, D. C.—Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, in a petition unanimously passed by the National Liberal Congress which closed its sessions. Congress which passed another request for the abolition of specific race discrimination are advocated by the petitioners as a win-the-war measure. The petition has been placed in the hands of U. S. Senator Penrose, and it is to be presented to the Congress protests that Afro-Americans are discriminated against in public and Federal buildings in Federal territory, in public carriers operated by the government in certain states, in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain states and in the right of voting in certain states asks in view of the military rendered by the race during the present war, that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for Democracy.

Crichlow, a well known local physician, has been appointed by -Gov. Corwell to the superintendency of the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium at the University county, this state. The University prescribes bill providing for an Afro-American sanitarium. The State Board of Control accordingly purchased a large tract of land from a lumber company to build the buildings thereon. Patients will soon be accepted for treatment. IN-UNION IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE GENTS WOMAN SLAYER, TERROR, PAROLED Former Painter of Miniatures Watched Another Man Eat Husband to Death Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. Nellie Pope, whose parole from the House-of-Correction wrought a feeling of intense relief to the officials and inmates of that State institution, whose greatest desire was to be rid of her, is a ward of Capt. Margaret Duffy of the Salvation Army. Co-operating with Capt. Duffy in the effort to restore the woman to a place in the free world are Mrs. Robert Y. Ogr, Mrs. John Trix and Miss Clara Dyar, through whom a certified check for $1000 was placed with the State authorities as a guarantee that she would not become a public charge. The first step taken by these friends of Mrs. Pope toward putting her in the way of earning a livelihood was to provide her with paint and brushes with which to try her hand at miniature painting, a form of art in which she was quite proficient at the time she was sentenced to prison. Mrs. Pope had been in the House of Correction for 21 years when her parole was issued. She had been convicted of contributing to the murder of her husband by a man named Prusssean, who was given a 25-year term in the penitentiary for the murder, was a peculiarly atrocious one, Pope having been beaten to death and the evidence accepted by the trial jury as true was that the wife had coolly stood by as a witness of the tragedy. As a prisoner Mrs. Pope did not merit clemency. On the contrary, her conduct was a continual source of worry to the prison officials and irritation to the other 800 convicts, from whom she was kept sequestered as much as possible. In order to prevent, as far as practicable, disturbance by her of the prison's peace and quiet it was necessary to find work that she could perform alone. When she arrived at the institution she was put to work with the other inmates; but when she had several times thrown the shop into confusion by her charges against her neighbors, work was found that kept her isolated. For a time she darned socks, making as poor a job of it as she could. Then she carded buttons. When plans were made to relieve her of this she stole a quantity of buttons and kept the job going for weeks after the officials had intended to take her from it, making as slow time as possible. Once during chapel, she leaped from the gallery on the heads of the men prisoners below her. Mrs. Pope has a daughter, but her identity is kept secret. She was 7 years old at the time of the mother's conviction, was adopted by a family, her name changed and reared with refining care. She holds a responsible business position in this city and is said to be engaged to marry. Because of fear that her life might be ruined should she become involved in the publicity attending her mother's release, those who know her are doing what they can to avert this turn in the case. Mrs. Pope seemingly is resolved to become a source of gratification to those who were instrumental in getting her out of prison, "I want a chance to be good," she declared after her release. "I want the public, to give me a chance. I want fair treatment. I am innocent of the crime for which I have spent a long-time in prison. And it has been a long time—a long, long time." The effects of prison life upon Mrs. Pope are marked. When she entered the House of Correction, at 35, there were no traces of anxiety on her face, nor was there a strand of gray in her hair. Now, at 57, she is tall, almost caraverous, her sallow cheeks are sunken, her eyes peer out from deep hollows, and her teeth are in bad condition. Her friends maintain that she is really of fine character and that this will rapidly develop in the new atmosphere surrounding her. Porch Lamp is New Novelty.

Emerson for a copy of Congressman Dyer's exceptionally able speech in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., May 7, 18, urging the passage of his mob violence or anti-lynching bill. In publishing the portrait of our greatest race conference, held recently in Washington, D.C., Editor Nelson Crews, of the Kansas City, (Mo.) Sun, numbered the figures in picture and named them with the numbers. No other publication, we have seen has done this. Step up in front, Brother Crews, and be awarded the "palm," by the race press. You've earned it squarely and fairly. The United States has two-thirds of a million fighting men in France The decisive battle of the war is here Can General Leonard Wood be of more service to his country on the battle line in France or in a training camp in the west. This country has many good and gallant generals "over there." Yet which one has had the experience of Gen. Wood? Should experience not be utilized? After the government's training camp for the training of mechanic for war, similar to that at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, now at the State A. & M. College, Orangeburg, S.C., Prof. R. S.

Here are splendid openings for competent members of the race. Pass the word along, please. Address President Wilkinson. Major Geo. W. Prioleau, chaplain of the 25th U. S. Inf. Reg., is home from Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, Hawaiian Territory, on two months leave of absence, and desires The Gazette to notify the pastors of the North Ohio A. M. E. Annual Conference and others that he will be glad to be with them to preach or lecture while in this country. His address is 405 State Ave., Kansas City, Kansas. The major has been abroad and in the army service so very many years that a lecture by him would be a treat for any community. The barring of our chiropodist members of the National Association from its annual meeting at St. Louis, next month, is unfortunate and seems to have been carefully planned. The worst feature, next to the exclusion, is the fact that there will be absolutely no check on the action of the convention and there is no telling what will be done in the absence of the Afro-American members of the Association. They should have representation in that body, anyhow. We publish elsewhere in this paper the president's letter of "explanation" to George H. Turner of this city. Our employees of the Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C., are very much perturbed over the issuing of insulting orders designating what lavatories they may use. A- though in the treasury building under Secretary McAdoo, a "jim-crow" lavatory is maintained, no other department had initiated such discrimination until the Government Office so ordered, recently. Another unfortunate phase of this new governmental department insulting discrimination is, it is spreading through the north, having reached Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and other industrial plants working on orders from the government. We must stop it! ```markdown ``` Ohio has thirteen members of Congress who are of the majority democratic party. Who, of the thirteen, is of national reputation? Who, of the thirteen, ranks high in Congress? Who is one of its leaders? Who excels in debate? Who is looked on as one of the strong men of the national House of Representatives? Is it not true that they could all be readily spared from Congress without the slightest drawback to the public welfare? Ohio has been doing a good deal to give democratic congressress a chance to make reputations but what have they done toward making a reputation for either themselves or Ohio? The Cleveland Association of Colored Men is again advertising what it terms an "annual emancipation celebration" to be held, next month, at color-line Luna park. SHAME! The worse some people are treated in some public places the better they seem to like it, it seems. And still this does not justify the tolling of thousands of others of our people to such a place for the purpose of fattening the treasury of the Luna park management at the expense of our poor people, many of whom do not know or understand the insulting color-line conditions existing the year around at the park. The "Negroes" responsible for this "annual" Luna park affair ought to be disciplined by the loyal self and race respecting manly and womanly of the race in this community in such a way as to make them properly appreciate the seriousness and enormity of their offense against the race. MORE POLITICAL JOBS the democratic party is getting scared about the fall campaign. Fearing that the elections will go against it, it is trying to add to its patronage assets by passing the bill for the census of 1920 a year ahead of time. The number of supervisors of census is increased from 330 to 400 and additional help of various kinds is to be provided for. About 200,000 enumerators will be appointed. Think of the tempting opportunities which this will give to the hard driven democratic candidate for Congress this fall! The bait of the census job can be dangled before many a patriot who wishes a civic job in time of war. It will also give great comfort to the hard-driven candidate that only the promises have to be given before the election. The positions themselves are to be given later. Candidates should be free from guile and duplication of promises, but, aslas, history so often records that they are not. In politics, at least, it must be confessed that the democratic party is always proficient in preparedness. TRICKING A PARTY Michigan is a republican state. No democratic candidate for president ever carried it. The republican majority is 100,000. It has two republican Senators and eleven republican Congressmen out of thirteen. All have been one hundred per cent loyal in supporting the war. The republican state administration and the republican party in Michigan have been one hundred per cent loyal in every matter pertaining to the war. If there is any state in the Union where democrats should have "adjourned politics until after the war," it is Michigan. To attempt to manipulate Henry Ford into the U. S. Senate from Michigan as a republican is a piece of political thimble-rigging. He supported President Wilson in 1916, spent large sums in advocacy of his election, is a freerider and an internationalist. He is not a republican in principle and does not claim to be. Yet under the vicious primary law of Michigan any one can vote in the primary of any party. Once a petition is filed for Mr. Ford in the republican primary, democrats, socialists, nationalists and internationalists, can and will flood the republican primaries to vote for Ford. With the republican vote divided among four republican candidates, it is quite a possibility that Mr. Ford may win as a plurality candidate. Thus may the republican state of Michigan be thimble-rigged out of a true representative of its principles. Fine piece of work, is it not, for all engaged in it? Does this conform to your ideals? It is either right or wrong. What do you think about it?

In your judgment of men, have you been always fair, Have you learned to forgive in the face of despair, Have you fought against greed, or succumbed to its lust, Have you learned what it means to protect and to trust? Oh, it's easy to preach and it's easy to tell Of the other chap's faults—but our own faults, oh, well! We are cowards at times, and the truth, you will find Is a thing we dislike, for its rather unkind. But the Past, let it rest. Give a thought to Today And Tomorrow, as well, for the Time's growing gray; Do the things that you should, do the best that you can; Crown your Life with your ideals—be a red-blooded man! WoW Be A MAN REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who considers richest a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise? The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may be he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to distract his imagination. It is a good time to "greet awake." ANOTHER NEW BOOK "Your Negro Neighbor," by Bori Brawley, The MacMilan Co., 66 Fifth Ave, N. Y.

Haiti Declares War Port Au Prince, Haiti.—The council of state, acting in accordance with the legislative powers given it under the new Haitian constitution, has unanimously voted the declaration of war upon Germany demanded by the president of the republic. The black republic is the twenty-second nation to declare war upon Germany. Seven other countries have broken diplomatic relations. Germany covered diplomatic relations with Haiti in June 1917, after it had protested against German warfare and demanded compensation for losses to its commerce and life. OUR CHRIOPODISTS Are Barred From the National Association Meeting, Aug 5, 6, 7 and 8—A Smooth Piece of Work. Boston, June 23th, 1918 Dr. G. H. Turner, Chiropodist, Cleveland, Ohio. Doctor-Assistant has come to the attorney's office of N.A. C, that it is an inflexible side of the Planters Hotel that colored men or women are not admitted to any of its rooms, parlors or cafes. Immediately this became known the other hotels were approached and it was found that the same rules were in force at all Louis hotels. The late date of the receipt of this information and the limitations of the powers of the officers of the N. A. C. to make any change in the convention city makes it imperative to carry out the program as voted at the last convention. The officers feel that the situation which is beyond their power to change is to be regretted most deeply and it is to prevent any unpleasantness to the colored members that this letter is being sent. This is but one of many difficulties which the present administration has had to meet in order that you will appreciate it. Hopefully, to organize the fact that we wish to spare the colored members the humiliation which would result if they were not informed of the conditions which would be met at St Louis. Very truly yours, HARRY P. KENISON, President of the N. A. C. Additional Locals "Wonders will never cease." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as represented by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and the Booker T. Washington ideas, as represented by Dr. R. R. Moton and Hon. Emmett J. Scott, supplemented with the association of Hon. Harry B. Cox, as represented by Hon. O. Gazette, "a free lance," so to speak, and as unbridled in his thought and ideas as a Texas mustang on his native heath is free, all meeting together and reaching a harmonious conclusion relative to affairs affecting the race and agreeing upon a joint statement, is one of the anomalies and surprises of present day hapiness in Richmond (Va.) Planer The latest figures for church membership have been given out by the census bureau for the ten year period ending Dec. 31, 1916; Our Baptists report 3,081,314 members; with 19,423 ministers; the A. M. E. have 552,262 members; with 8,175 ministers; the Zion Methodists have 258,433 members with 3,962 ministers; the Colored Methodists have 245,749 members, with 3,402 ministers. Others of our Methodist bodies have 16,875 members with 598 ministers. As compared with the last report (1906) this shows an increase of 750,000 members for the Baptists and 75,000 members each for the A. M. E. Zion Methodist and the C. M. E. church. George T. Smith, 2531, E. 40th St. charged with contempt of court, was fined $400 and sentenced to ten days in county jail, June 27, by Judge Levine in criminal court. Smith was summoned into court to explain his connection with attorneys who had collected over $200 in fees from Cicero Hawke, 2934 Orange Ave., a prisoner in county jail. When Smith abused the court and made threatening remarks, Levine charged him with contempt and imposed the fine. Hawke was sentenced to the penitentiary, June 26, on a charge of cutting to kill. Judge Levine again is entitled to the thanks of our good people of this community for his action in the case of George ("Tibbitts," "Whispering") Smith. The latter has, at last, received only a part of what he has long been entitled to. EVERYBODY READ THIS! If you are not satisfied with your glasses or vision see JOHN S. HALL at once.

Childers, spoke in the morning on the subject "Room for All in the Economy of Grace," and in the evening on "The Teaching of Jesus About Hell." Seven persons joined the church. The Sunday school gave a lawn-fete. Tuesday evening, in the interest of the building fund The church has been completely reorganized and has began a "drive" for a building fund. It is the purpose of the members to move to a new location soon. The Mothers and Homemakers' Guild was organized last Thursday, with Mrs. Emily Ferris, as president, and Mrs. Arie Patterson, see. The Adams-Ramey Men's Guild subject, Sunday, was "Lyning, its cause and care." Several men recently borrowed, mentioning things they had seen. Making lyning a federal crime—if such be possible—was the remedy for Ohio's anti-lynching law and its "father." The Allen League was led by J. B. Calhoun. An elaborate program is being prepared for Educational Day, Aug. 4.—The "Gassie Berry Woman's Guild" held a "baked goods" sale. Saturday was their first effort and quite successful. The S.

DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty驾到 to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

WOMAN GIVES AWAY HER $200.00 MANSION Presents it to Salvation Army on Condition Costly Statuary Will Not Be Draped. Covington, Ky.—'A $200,000 mansion, furnished complete, is yours for the asking, if you do not drape or disturb the statuary therein." This is what the Salvation Army in this city was told and the mansion and its contents have been accepted, as well as the conditions laid down by the giver. Here is the story: Several months ago a meek, retiring woman called upon Brigadier Dunham, the representative of the Salvation Army at Cincinnati. She informed him that she was Mrs. Bradford Shinkle of Covington. She said the family had decided to give the home-steed to the Salvation Army, to be used as a woman's training school, where domestic science would occupy first place in the curriculum. But the quiet woman stipulated that none of the statuary should be removed, draped or in any way tampered with. She declared that no member of the family would tolerate any attempt on the part of any person to improve on the work of the famous sculptors. Bridgier Dunham communicated the wonderful offer to headquarters and also the conditions under which it was offered, which by this time had become neighborhood gossip and it was being said that every piece of sculpture would suggest evil thoughts and the gossips pretold terrible things for the girls who would come within the compass of their malign influence. Commander Eva Booth commissioned Col. Margaret Bevill, who is secretary for the woman's and children's departments, to go to Covington, look over the ground and report if the objections were well founded. Mrs. Bevill who is the mother of five children visited the home and after careful examination, strongly recommended that it be accepted and that all the conditions be scrupulously observed. "There is nothing that any pure minded person could possibly regard as greesive in the statuary," Mrs. Bevill said. The Shinkle mansion is one of the best appointed private dwellings in Kentucky. It is situated on a soft enclosure which commands Covinston, Cincinnati's Gretta Green. It is surrounded by gardens and lawns, in which fountains play continually. Playgrounds, walks and other attractions are found on the two acres of land surrounding the mansion. The interior of the house is gorgeously decorated with some of the finest specimens of the painter's art, Thirty-five rooms are at the disposal of the young women. Among these is a classroom, where all arts which concern the housekeeper will be taught. It is planned to receive as guests only such young women as are willing to quality themselves for the proper conduct of a household. "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it is a law of nature."—John Stuart Mill. 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 insult, the repudiation yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. HENRY L. THOMAS Attorney and Counselor at Law 512 Superior Building Cleveland, O.

Following considerable agitation during which charges of race discrimination on the part of authorities at Washington were made, Afro-American trained nurses are to be sent abroad to serve with the American troops. Mrs. Marie Cross Newhous, chairman of the Woman's Civic Club Committee of Justice, stated in New York, recently. Some time ago the great General Gourand placed in my hands the sum of 100 frames to be sent to the family of the first one of my soldiers wounded in the fight with the enemy under heroic triumph, and inasmuch as these boys, Wm. Johnson and Needham Roberts, were wounded simultaneously, and both displayed great heroism, I think it but fair to send to each one-half of this sum—Col. Wm. Hayward of the former 15th N. Y. Reg., now in France. The Cleveland & Southwestern Rye Co. is offering its used ties to the U. S. Fuel Administration for distribution to the needy of the public.

Segregation was attempted at a Hydraulic Pressed Steel Co. plant, the first of the week, and many of the workers quit their jobs there. That's the way to stop it! Do not submit to such "southern" methods in any of the plants. They are not only unnecessary, but rank insults to our men and the race. This is what caused about seventy of our men to leave the American Ball Bearing plant of the Standard Parts Co., recently. Miss Faustina Trimble of Lakewood entertained a number of young people at a farewell dinner, Tuesday evening, for Mr. Warner Purdy who left, Thursday, for Camp Sherman.

An exceptionally enjoyable social function resulted. People who have purchased Liberty bonds can do themselves and the nation a good turn by trying to maintain those bonds at par value. Don't offer your bonds for sale unless absolutely compelled to do so. If you hear of any of your friends who are embarrassed and you contemplate disposing of their Liberty bonds, offer to take the bonds at par, thus preventing their sale at less than par. Thus you will maintain the value of your own bond and support the credit of the government. The remains of T. M.

Don't Throw Away Your Copy of THE GAZETTE After Reading it, but Give It to a Friend or an Acquaintance who Might Subscribe after Reading a Copy of It FINDS FOE IS HIS FRIEND CIVIL WAR NAVAL COMMANDER SURPRISED BREAKFAST Old Pal Receives Him in Regal Style After Defeat. In the days before the civil war Peter Murphy was a lieutenant in the United States navy. In a number of ways he befriended midshipman James Jouett because of a natural liking for him and a warm friendship grew up between the two men. When the war broke out Murphy resigned and joined the confederate navy. When the battle of Mobile Bay occurred Jouett was in command of the U. S. S. Metacomel and Murphy commanded the confederate gunboat Selma. Shortly before the battle, Jouett, while at Pensacola, bethought himself of Murphy's fondness for certain delicacies of the table and bought a quantity of oysters crabs and other tidbits which he placed on ice evidently that his old friend was about to become his prisoner. Knowing that Murphy was in command of one of the vessels which the union ships were about to engage, Jouett informed some fellow officers that he was fond of "Pete" Murphy and that he hoped to catch him. He told them of how he had prepared to entertain him and of the stock of wine and cigars he always kept on hand in anticipation of the time when his "friendly enemy" should fall into his hands. In the course of the battle the Meta-comet was ordered to pursue the Selma, and as Jouett had planned, Murphy became his prisoner. At the conclusion of the fight Jouett ordered his steward to prepare a fine break fast. The Selma struck her colors and Murphy carrying one arm in a sling on account of a wound received in the battle came aboard the Meta-comet to surrender his sword. In order that his old friend might be spared all unnecessary mortification Jouett had sent all of his men forward, leaving only two officers at the gang-way when the defeated officer came aboard. Murphy drew himself erect, presented his sword in surrender and started to deliver a speech when Jouett took him by the hand and exclaimed: "I'm mighty glad to see you Murphy. Come below. Your breakfast's been waiting for you for some time." When they reached the cabin where the table was spread with various palatable dishes, particularly those of which Murphy was specially fond, he turned to Jouett and gasped out in astonishment: "Why didn't you tell me you had all this? I think I'd have surrendered long before I did." The two old friends then sat down and ate as if there had never been a war in which they had aligned themselves on opposing sides.—The Pathfinder. FREES BIM FROM TIRE New Device Reverses Process in Case of Blow-Out. A tool has been designed which is intended to lessen the labor of taking off rims. It removes the rim from the tire, not the tire from the rim—the ordinary method. No hammering or prying is necessary, and the rim and tire are therefore undamaged by the operation. To remove the rim the tool is placed with the three hooks over the edge of the rim and the lever pressed down. This motion contracts the rim causing the one end to lap over the other, and the whole to come off the casing easily. The tool consists of a handle to which are attached three arms with books, and a lever. When pressed down this lever causes one arm to be pulled, thus loosening the rim and lapping that end of the rim under the other end. Wobbly wheels, caused by hammer ing them off, are impossible when the tool is used. The remove can be used with any split rim now in use, and a modification of the device is made for use on solid rims.-Popular Science.

The blade is attachrd to a foot power drillist drill and will saw the hardest of lumber with ease. Thomas uses it for sawing groves in the edge of violins to insert the variegated wood. Had Seen Them Growing. Pat Murphy was at a party given by his landlord and when the fruit was served Pat selected an orange, the host saying to him: "You have never seen oranges growing Pat?" "Troth and I have," replied Pat. "You have been abroad then?" said the host. "Never a foot sir," said Pat. "Then where have you seen them growing?" "Bedad," replied Pat, "isn't this one in my hand growing smaller every minute?" Aged and Needy Recipient Made Com- fortable With $200 Gold and $400 as Interest Somerset, Pa.—William Speicher, of Kanter, a news agent on the Somerset & Cambria Branch Railroad received a letter from an aged resident of quemahoning Township, in which is told how a man with a troubled conscience returned, with interest, $290, the theft of which enabled him to grow well off while the owner of the money was made poor for life by the loss of it. "On May 31st, thirty-one years ago," wrote the aged man, "I started for Stoveyestown with a pocketbook containing $200 to make the first payment on a home that I had purchased. When I arrived there the package was missing. I returned home at once, but could find no trace of it. it was money that I had earned by hard labor. I was much broken up over the loss, ill health followed and I never had a home of my own. 'A few days ago there came a rap at my door. I opened it and a stranger stood there. I invited him in and he seated himself. He sized me up, but spoke little. After inquiring about my identity he took from his pocket $200 in gold and counted it out to me. He said it was my money and asked me to accept it. 'I owe you interest on it for 31 years,' he went on. 'Here is $400 more to cover that, Thank God, I am free once more,' he said. I was amazed. I could not understand his actions and asked an explanation. "*Thirty-one years ago,* he replied, I was on my way from a part of Somerset County to Johnstown to take a train for Kansas. I had but a few dollars in money. I was walking on the road behind you while you were driving to Stoyestown and saw you crop the money. I picked it up and stowed it away in my pocket. At the latter town I got your name and went out West. I took up land near Leavenworth, Kansas, and fortune came my way. I took up more land, Returning to my native county I got married. I grew wealthy and I can now count my wealth by many thousands of dollars, but having your money in my possession always worried me, so I decided to return it to you and confess that I took it.* "He said that he found out that his conscience, was worth more to him than his wealth, then he bade me goodby." From almost destitute circumstances at 75 years of age, the old man has been placed in comparative comfort. YOUNG MEDICAL GRADUATE WANTS WIFE WITH CASH Particular as to Beauty and Character, but Alabaman Desires Financial Aid Especially. Birmingham, Ala.—A struggling young medical graduate of this city offers himself to some young woman as husband. But candidates for his favor must have money, good looks, talent, and maze. In filling their applications, give family history, nationality, education, religion, age, morals, talents, height, weight, color of hair and eyes complexion and such other details as they can submit that, are likely to advance their chances. In his announcement to the world, through a letter to a newspaper, the young medico, whose address is given as "Doctor," 1150 South Twelfth street, says: "I am a young doctor, who wishes to marry any lads between 18 and 24 years of age who has cash, or other financial assets with which she would finance her husband to success. "I am a recent graduate of a State university, class A medical college. I feel sure success would be attained much more quickly if Cupid would step in." Stray Canine Is Given Official Collar by Postmaster-General Washington, D. C.—The faithful work of Sam, a stray dog, which assumed the task of guarding bags of mail at Mt. Carmel, Pa., has been recognized by the Postoffice Department. The dog now has locked upon his neck a heavy brass-studded collar bearing a plate engraved with the words "U. S. mail. Presented to Uncle Sam's faithful friend by Albert S. Burleson, Postmaster-General, October 25, 1916." Sam's special self-assigned task is the guarding of a parcel post wagon while the carrier is delivering. He never misses a trip. An admirer wrote to the department suggesting that as Sam is nobody's dog, recognition such as might insure him more consideration should be accorded. MAN TRIES NEW CORN CURE And He's Rid of One Offender, That's Certain. Grandview, Wash.— Jones Forsell, retired and wealthy farmer, has a new corn remedy. He was troubled for years by the pain if a corn. He has a neighbor who is a carpenter. One day last week he went over, borrowed a chisel and adjourned to his own back yard. Placeing his toe on the chopping block, setting the chisel between joints and firmly grasping a hammer in the right hand, he cured his corn. "I'm rid of that corn," he told his wife, "but I'm also minus aoo." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 20, 1918 OPEN AIR SCHOOL PLAN SPREADING OPEN AIR SCHOOL PLAN SPREADING OUTDOOR CLASSES FOR NORMAL AS WELL AS TUBERCULAR CHILDREN MULTIPLY German Educators Adopt Plan First to Solve Problems. There seems to be a general agreement that open air schools for euaemic and tubercular children established in various cities during the last few years have met with success, and at present, a movement is on foot to extend the open air methods to the instruction of normal children. What has proved beneficial in building up the health of the sickly pupil, it is argued, will be equally beneficial in keeping the normal cell well and strong. With this plea in view school buildings have been reconstructed and teaching systems rearranged in Chicago, New York and in kindergarten throughout the middle west. The growth of the movement and its effect upon the health and educational development of the pupil are described by a writer in the Century. The open air school idea originated at Charlottenburg, Germany, eleven years ago. Finding certain pupils backward in study and not physically robust, school authorities conceived the idea that there was a connection between the two conditions. The sickly children were isolated and housed in rude sheds, open on one, two and three sides. The motive was primarily to build up the health of the children and formal instruction was limited to short periods between times of physical recreation. The actual study period covered a stretch of only two hours and the rest of the day was given over to teaching the children to observe and use their powers of reasoning and adaptation through actual contact with the problems of life in the garden, field and woods. Thus, arithmetic was taught by laying out gardens and working out concrete examples in measuring and building. The pupils showed an improvement in bodily health and were in some cases, entirely cured of inpatient disease. In addition they did not fall back in their studies, but were easily able to rejoin their classmates in the regular schools, although they had spent much less than half as much time in school work. One of the first experiments of the kind in the United States for normal children was undertaken six years ago by the Graham school, Chicago. This resulted in the reconstruction of a large and modern high school in Chicago, where, it is said, the free admission of air has raised the standard of scholarship 30 per cent, while expenses for light and fuel were reduced $3,000. In New York the open air schools have gained a firm foothold. There are now over a hundred of them scattered over Manhattan and Brooklyn, the most of which have been established in the last three years. One teacher writes: "For the last few years I have been troubled with tinnitus. This year not at all. The effect of some of the children has been very marked. A few of my children were out a great deal last year on account of colds and coughs. Very rarely have the children had colds this year in the same class." Much the same testimony comes from other teachers. There are fewer absentees, and the children are brighter and more responsive. It seems to be fairly well established, also, that the pupils in the open air schools ad vance more rapidly in Study. Mr. Watts of the Graham school found that, in many cases classes were ready for promotion in half the usual time. Discipline was more easily maintained. In many of the schools efforts are made to keep the children out of doors altogether, and classes are held in the parks and woods, and, in congested districts on roof tops. In most of the schools emphasis is placed on practical training in handicraft, gardening, etc., and provision is made for systematic physical exercise between recitations. Core, of course, must be exercised in transferring children from ordinary closed schoolrooms to exposed rooms or the open. —Indianapolis News. OILCAN HAS BELLOWS The usual oil can gives only a small spurt of oil when pressed, and to eject any considerable quantity, the pressure must be repeated many times. In order to obviate this a new oil can has been made with a metal belows within it, which is entirely free from the sides. As long as pressure is maintained on the belows, oil is released out of the spout in a steady stream, and in a quantity dependent on the force placed behind the operator's thumb. When the pressure is released, a spring forces the belows open again, thus drawing back all the oil in the spout, preventing untidiness and waste. When the belows is fully extended, a valve is closed over the opening into the spout, so that oil can not escape even if the can by some chance should be upset. The can is said to be winning considerable favor. —Illustrated World. LAYS SPREAD OF DISEASE Kansas Healin Board Finds Problem in State's Dirt Roads and More Than 103,000 Cars. Topeka, Kan—To the more than 100,000 automobiles in Kansas, most of them used for pleasure driving, Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health, attributes the spread of typhoid fever, tuberculosis, infantile paralysis, diphtheria and possibly, smallpox. He says that is is also possible that the large number of whooping cough and measles cases in every section of Kansas is due to some extent to those machines. The basis of this verdict against the auto is the dust cloud created by it and sent flying into the homes along the routes of travel. In the whole of Kansas there are less than 1000 miles of rock roads and not much more than that of oiled roads. The balance of the highways are untreated dirt, heavy travel over which keeps them cut into dust, and when the multitude of cars is turned loose upon them daily the effect is a real problem for the Health Board. The situation is aggravated by the habit of the Kansas wind of being constantly on the move. "The folks who drive and ride in the cars do not know of the discomfort and sickness they may cause to those less fortunate than themselves," Dr. Crumbine said. "The matter of dust is a really serious proposition. The dust ordinarily does not bother the motor car party, as it rolls behind them and is blown off the road by the wind. But to have clouds of dust rolling through your windows throughout the day and evering is no joke to the folks who live along the main highways." The State Health Board has been studying the problem of dust prevention for some time and is watching experiments being made in several sections of the State. CALIFORNIA MAN RECEIVES DISCHARGE FROM UNION ARMY Los Angeles, Cal.-Clinton A. Barre- of Pasadena, has received from the War Department his discharge from the Union army in the Civil War. He believes he is the last veteran of that war to be mustered out. "I enlisted," he said, "in 1861 in the Seventh Illinois Infantry, but that was only for three months. I never got my discharge, as there were rumors that the company's papers had been lost. "Then, in 1863, I enlisted in the Seventeenth Illinois Cavalry. I served in this regiment until the end of the wa and got my discharge from it. "As years went by I thought I should like to get my discharge from the first regiment in which I had served, but the only way I could do was to get two aviators from com- munes who had also served with it. "One of these comrades was Capt. George Wheeler. I searched for him for several years, but could find no trace of him until a short time ago when I ran across him at the Soldiers' Home in Sawtelle, when I got this affidavit. "A few weeks ago I met, at a neighbor's house, R.Tucker, another schoolmate who had served in the same company with me. I procured an affidavit from him and now have my discharge." COMES BACK WITH $125,000 FORTUNE Wife Had Married and Buried Another Husband in His Absence Matttoon, Ill.—The missing father of Richard Mitchell of this city has come back after 25 years and is outdoing the story of Enoch Arden by bringing with him a fortune of $125, 000 for his two children and his wife, who married and buried another husband in his absence. Clarence Mitchell, an Englishman, married a young woman in an Indiana town 27 years ago. Two years later, when two children had been born to them, he was called by his Government to do army service in India. At first he corresponded with his wife, but after a few years she heard no more from him. She waited 10 years and then, believing he had been killed, married again. She went to live in Detroit and a few years ago her second husband died. A few months ago Mitchell came to America and began a search for his wife and children. He found his wife in Detroit, his daughter in San Francisco and his son here. He is planning to take them all to England and to claim there the estate of his mother, who had died two years ago. Lawyers say the second marriage of Mrs. Mitchell was invalid and does not affect her rights as the wife of Mitchell. BURCLAR STEALS — A BATH! Effete Robber Scorns Cash Register Nate Newton Rash Shon Omaha, Neb.—Found, the effete burglar! He broke into John Konvein's barber shop here a few nights ago. When Konvein made an inventory on arriving at the shop in the morning he found the cash register had not been disturbed and every razor in its place, but there was one theft to be charged up to the burglar. That was—a bath! Get Out to Save Letters to Daughter, New York.—At last—a family newspaper which is all that the name implies. When the first one of William K. Jameson's children went away to school, every member of the family soon began to suffer from writer's cramp, for Mary had to be told everything that mother, father and the rest of the children were doing. Finally the children "had a hunch." They doubted whether it would make a "bitch" with dad, for it meant an expenditure of money, but to their surprise father, instead of balking, praised the idea and dived into his money pocket as if it were a pleasure. The result was the family newspaper, for the money went to buy a small printing press. Doo is more than happy now, for he has found the editing by the children of their newspaper has proved of far greater benefit than the relief of writer's cramp. It is doing much, he declares, to teach the children English composition, spelling, punctuation and capitalization, and what is more the children get great enjoyment from it. As every one knows who has experienced it, an error stares at one far more persistently and boldly from a printed page than from a written one, even a typewriter one. There is something in cold print which makes the stoutest heart recoil from a misspelled word or an obvious grammatical error. The children took great pains with their newspaper after one or two examples of how very wrong a wrong thing may appear when it gets into print. Then, too it is really ever so much more interesting to be working on a private publication of this order than to be writing essays for teacher, Grammar, spelling and punctuation often demonstrate their real importance to the children for the first time because they are part of the product which the children themselves are trying to get out. It is remarkable the amount of interesting news that may be gathered in a large family in the course of a week. There are plenty of subjects also worthy of editorial discussion. For instance, the Jameson family discussed at some length, and with great gravity, the right make of car to get when the spring came and the family purchase was in order. In the end the head of the family harded down a decision that the old car would do with renovations. This, however, did not detract in the least from the joy of discussion. There are tiny printing presses for children that can be bought for a few dollars which include all the equipment for setting type and running the paper off the press. Not a very large paper can be printed, but even with the small presses much can be achieved. THREW AWAY MILLION; NOW SPURNS ANOTHER Inventor Who Spent Fortune With Bride Keeps Secret of Noiseless Gunpowder. Des Moines, Iowa.—To inherit a million dollars as a boy, throw it away in riotous living, then earn a million more by the fruits of one's brain, only to change one's mind later and refuse it entirely, is not the lot of every man. But August Ackerman, a hermit philosopher and inventor, can lay claim to all of these things. As a youth he was educated in Heidelberg, where his father was professor of chemistry. There he developed a fascination for chemistry, part of which was due to inherited instinct. Just coming of age, he inherited a vast fortune for those days, married a French actress, spent it in all three fast years, and on his twenty-fifth birthday found himself a beggar on the streets of Paris. Deserted by wife and friends as soon as his fortune had taken wings, broken-hearted August fled to America, to forget and to start anew. He came to St. Louis long before the Civil War, worked on the railroads and built a little cabin in the woods in Gravois country. Ackerman's love for chemistry and experimentation did not leave him, and with his own means and his own hands he rigged up upride apparatus to carry on his experiments. Ackerman, who is now more than 90 years old, keeps a pack of hounds and an old horse for company. All these beasts live in the cabin with the old man. Here democracy rules supreme! Komor had it that the old man had discovered a smokeless and noiseless gunpowder. Hundreds of persons want to see him, seeking to induce him to disclose the secret. But the old man steadfastly refused. "What I know I keep!" he told the correspondent, punching his breast vigorously with his hand, and then he turned to show trinkets he had saved from the gay life in Paris seventy years ago. It is said that Ackerman was offered $1,000,000 for his secret of the new gunpowder, but refused to disclose it for humanitarian reasons. Driving his auto to Independence Me, from Chicago, where it was recovered after being stolen, owner was arrested in every town because description of car had been sent broad coat to constables. To The Loyal! Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. 'Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention. These five boys have a chance to live, if the President says so. "The Gazette" urges our people to fill out the appeal to the President, to be found on this page and also to write a letter to his or her U. S. Senator and Congressman asking that the President be urged to save these boys. They are victims of peculiar circumstances and conditions born of prejudice and hatred. Write today; help to save them.
