RECTOR BLACKJACKED! THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR. No. 32 A F HONOR MEMORY OF FIRST AUTO A SP A Compile Scott for Don Among by Dr. F. REC A SPLENDID AUDIENCE! Among the many good things raid by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in his speech. Monday evening, at St. John's A. M. E. church, were: "In the matter of the relative number of men of both races who were drafted into the American army, it is highly significant that although our men represented only 8 per cent. of the total registration, 15 per cent. of the total number of men who were called to the colors herein by the race. During the recent war, the Afro-American was represented in practically every branch of military service, including infantry, cavalry, engineer corps, signal corps, in three entire regiments of field artillery, coast artillery, hospital and ambulance corps, stevedore regiments, labor battalions, deput brigades and United States army. The wonderful adaptability of our race to our nation's needs in the critical time of war (as artisans, as mechanics, as patriotic civilian workers and as soldiers and military officers) will furnish the historian of the future a fertile subject for treatment. Whether brigaded with French troops, or with American troops (the 92nd and 52nd divisions for instance) our men must be tests of HRAVERY, FORTITUDE, LOYALTY, INTELLIGENCE, and enforced hardships and privations with human dignity and even good humor. Truly the 'Black Troops' fought nobly, and truly Abraham Lincoln's prohpic words have been realized for the first time. The end of the epoch of FREEDOM the precious jewel of HUMAN LIBERTY. During the great-world war, as in many other crises of our nation's history, the race in this country laid upon the altar of their country's need, their strength, their skill, their influence, the limit of their means, their uninterrupted loyalty and, in many cases, even the loyalty to the STARS AND STRIPES, the only flag they have ever claimed, or will ever claim as their own."

In concluding he said: "The Afro-American (soldier and civilian alike) has been chastened by the rigors of self-sacrifice and the horrors of war. He looks forward to the future, confident that the same principles of civilization and humanity which are to be applied to weaker nations and weaker people throughout the world are also to be usely applied to him, for he feels that the full product of his patriotism". St. John's church was packed to the doors and many were unable to get in to hear Dr. Scott. It was a great meeting—enthusiastic, and a splendid compliment to the speaker and a credit to our people of Cleveland.

Big Steam Wagon Built In Fifties to Cross Western Prairies Went Only Seven Miles. This is the story, not of a new invention, but of an old one that was forgotten, the "father of automobiles." The Kabraka State Historical Association has just erected at Nebraska City a monument to a chimney, unwildly "steam wagon" with which some prophet of half a century ago dreamed he could race across the Western prairies at ten times the speed attained by the famous "bull wagon" which were the chief means of communication between the Golden West and civilization east of the Mississippi River. The monument is erected on the exact spot from which the big steam wagon, the forerunner of the automobile of today, started on its memorable attempt to go from the Missouri River to Pike's Peak. The inscription reads: er West Wind, July 12, 1862. Started for Denver, Sproffel-proclaimed, July 22, 1862. Disabled and Abandoned Seven Miles Out. But it was the first automobile in all the country. The "prairie motor," as it was called, bore slight resemblance to the trim automobile of today. It was equipped with four engines of twelve horse-power each. The drive wheels were 10 feet in diameter and the first, which were of boiler iron, was twice as wide. The steering wheel was 6 feet in diameter. Wood was used for fuel and one cord would drive the machine for eight hours. After a trial trip in New Jersey ap artently demonstrated the success of the steam wagon, the machine was shipped to St. Louis by rail and there loaded upon a steamboat, the West Wind, which brought it up the Missouri River to Nebraska City. In those days Nebraska City was one of the chief outfitting points for Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and the Northwest country. Omaha was a more village, more than half the houses being the topees of Indians. But Nebraska City did a tremendous business. In one year more than 7,000 wagons, each drawn by from four to eight oxen or mules, left Nebraska City for Denver. This does not take into consideration the vast amount of freighting between the Missouri River point and other portions of the West. The swiftest stage coaches, traveling night and day, required a week to go between. Nebraska City and Denver, and the stage fare was $75. It was to capture a portion of this lucrative, traffic that induced Capt. Joseph Brown of St. Paul to build the "pistle motor" and bring it out to Nebraska City. It was his intention should the first one prove as successful as expected, to equip a complete "feet" and monopolize the freighting business of the West. As the prairie motor started off on July 22, 1868, the whistles of the boats, the ringing of bells and the cheering of the people accompanied her. Four miles and a half were covered in less than an hour. But after the big wagon had gone seven miles there was a stop. Something was wrong. A piston rod had broken. The engineer walked back to town, got teams of horses, and returned to the steamer. The loaded wagons were returned to Nebraska City. The steamer was pulled to one side of the road and left standing until a new piston rod could be brought from New York. But the specifications had been misplaced and several letters passed back and forth before the repairs were shipped. And in those days considerable time was required to get an answer from New York. Then the new piston rod was shipped. It became misplaced and never reached its destination. A new one was ordered. Winter came on and the anws blocked the roads. Then the government chartered the Union Pacific Railroad and the promoters of the automobile line to the mountains. saw the end of their dreams. The prairie motor was hauled back to Nebraska City, and put out in J. Sterling, Morton's back yard, where it made a very convenient place for the children and the chickens. It was finally broken up and sold for old iron. The boiler was used in the gas works for several years and afterwards taken to Hamburg, Iowa, where it furnished steam for a grain elevator. When the elevator burned the boiler was wracked. THE GAZETTE A Compliment to Dr. Emmett Scott for the Good Work He Has ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 And Issued Every Week on Time Since CLEVELAND, O..

Dear Sir: The Philadelphia North American, the oldest daily newspaper in America, and the leading progres- sive newspaper of the nation, hands you the accompanying editorial, printed on March 1. It is certainly worth reading, and it may be worth reprinting, because it is a just tribute, and will inspire the people of both races. Nine months ago in this column we discussed the Negro's chance to win enviable distinction in the great war. Nearly 100,000 Negro soldiers—several hundred of them, officers—then were serving or training for a Negro regiment—the new famous 367th, the "Buffaloes"—Major General Bell himself had said he would lead them in battle "against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome." At that time we called attention to prevalent predictions that the Negro was "too lazy, too emotional, too unresponsive to discipline to be counted upon as a fighting force, but we must consider how they prefer to be on the firing line. We have no doubt that such as are sent there will account for themselves in the same fine way that Negro fighters always have. We believe the American Negro is going to perform a part in this war which will outline any previous services of his. "It is a wonderful chance for a people to evidence appreciation of a service rendered it, and we think this chance will be eagerly and admirably used." Before the signing of the armistice 42,000 Negro troops had gone into combat. At Chateau-Thierry, Soissons, on the Vesle, in Champagne and the Metz region, these singing soldiers—and how they sang—were in the thick of it. In some of the swiftest and bloodiest battles of the entire war they were given full opportunity to prove their mettle as defenders of freedom, and the have facts of their answer to this challenge suffice to silence forever any doubts as to their courage or effectiveness as fighters.

Pershing; A PROPHECY FULFILLED A PROPHECY FULFILLED three months before one of them—the 372d—was picked for the Vernvian region, to occupy the famous battlecave Hill 304. On that exposed French and German soldiers had fallen as the line swayed back and forth, these American Negroes, fresh from their training with the French, were placed to hold the Hun title. Their first engagement was in a drive for Monton. Here came the enemy, and he said. And, according to this authority, they were eager to get into the fight. "They cheered and sang when the announcement came that their chance had arrived. But the question was: back of their euthanasia mission? Or did they just have European troops through centuries of training in the science of warfare? "This they answered by doing some of the heaviest, and most effective fighting of the day. From June 6 to September 10 they were stationed in the bloody Argonne forest. On the night of September 25 they were summoned offensive, and were in that terrific drive—one of the decisive engagements of the war—until October 7. "In this nine days' battle the Negroes not only proved their fighting qualities in an ordeal such as men have rarely been called upon to face, but these qualities, in deadly, killing crises, stood out with such distinction that the whole regiment was awarded the coveted epix de guerre." In that engagement the Negro soldiers captured 600 prisoners and thirty-five guns and rounded up an enormous amount of engineering materials, brought down three enemy airships. And at a loss of some 500 men in killed, wounded and gassed. At the same time another Negro regiment of the 369th, under Colonel Hayward, was winning deathless fame in action. And there is no telling how far these fearless fighters might have pressed on had not hostilities erased when they did for at 11 o'clock in the morning. And were the furthest east of all the allied fighting forces—the nearest to the Rhine! These two instances are not exceptional. All the way through, wherever a Negro regiment or division went into action, the result was the same. Three whole regiments were given the croix de guerre as units—eyemen, cavalry, and artillery. This badge of honor—and like recognition was accorded an entire battalion of the "Buffaloes." And daughter, Florence, visited in Waverly and at Harris Station, Sunday.

He is a real leader—Mrs. Ida Campbell has returned from a visit with rela- some of the individual exploits cite are thrilling enough for any youth. Guns in particular, deserves widespread: **Lieutenant Campbell, of the 368th Infantry and five of his men, armed only with their rifles, trench knives and hand grenades, picked up from the shell holes along the way, were moving over a road in the Chateau-Thierry sector. Suddenly their course was crossed by the firing of a German machine gun. They tried to locate it by the direction of the bullets, but could not. To their right, a gun covered with thick underbrush, just back of it was an open field. **Lieutenant Campbell, who knew by the direction of the bullets that his party had not been seen by the Germans, ordered one of his men, with a rope which they happened to have, to crawl to the thick underbrush, and the gun covered with thick underbrush; then to withdraw as far as possible and pull the rope, making the brush shake as though men were crawling through it. The purpose was to draw direct fire from the machine gun, and by watching it locate its position. The ruse worked. **Lieutenant Campbell then ordered three of his men to steal out and flank the machine gun on one side, while he and two others moved up and flanked it on the other side.** "The brush was shaken more violently by the secret rope. The Germans, their eyes focused on the brush, poured a half of bullets into it. Leaving the machine gun on one side, flanking party dashed up; with their hard grenades they killed four of the bobes and captured the remaining three also the machine gun." It was in the Marbachie sector that the Negro soldier won from the Huna's complimentary name of "Black Devil". This sector was no sooner taken over by the Ninety-second division than a series of daring trench raids served notice on the Germans that something new was on the program. Up to shargime the Ninety-second never had been in battle. Only one of its regiments had seen a big engagement. The chance for united action came in the morning the day before the armistice was signed, they were notified to make ready. Ear-witnesses say a statue would have been set smiling by the way those big brown fighters echoed the "See it through" slogan of the "Buffalo" when the call came. They then stood at 7 o'clock from Point-a-Mousson. Before them was a valley commanded by the tives in Charleston, W.

The Negroes seemed to realize that here for the first time was the great opportunity to show their mettle—that of the Germans to battle as a division. A sense of race solidarity possessed them, uniting their purpose as no amount of drilling could, and they were literally a terrible for as they plunged forward to Preny. So rapidly did they advance that the list of casualties, considering the number of casualties for the day was Bois-Franch, Picked Moroccan, and Senegalese troops of the French, striking for the same point—in an odd competition of Negro races on this day—were the first to arrive. The Germans, seeing what was up, were pounding Bois-Franch with guns for the Moroccan and the Senegalese. They were forced to retreat. "Were our Negro fighters really going to see it through?" The fight was now getting hotter and hotter, for the Germans were bringing their full resistance to bear. The Fifty-sixth regiment was forced to withdraw, but not before the Germans home a heavy loss. The First battalion of the "Buffaloes," commanded by Major Charles L. Appleton, of New York, with Negro company commanders and lieutenants, was called upon to hold the Germans at bay while the hard-hit Fifty-sixth retreated. Here, in confronting the enemy with an iron fist, the "Buffaloes" won their cross do guerre. "A little later lakes Frechau was taken by the Ninety-second. The Germans directed against the place a more murderous fire, but there was no driving out the Negroes. The Stars and Stripes said of this fight: "Probably the hardest fighting the Germans did, the final battle was that which engaged the troops of the Twenty-eighth, Ninety-second, Eighty-first and Seventh divisions of the Second American army, who launched a fire-cating attack photo Viguelles just at dawn on the fifth. It was no mild thing, that last face of the battle, and the order to the front line until the last moment, when the runners sped with it from fox hole to fox hole." From these accounts, which provide an ample basis for definite formation of opinion, it is evident that the flag never was better or more bravely served than by the Negro troops who of late have been coming back to the front line. What the Negro soldier has done is proof of the ability of his race to meet an occasion when it rises. WELLSVILLE——The Union Missionary mission of Ohio Valley mid, Sunday afternoon, at the A. M.

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1919. South Carolina leads in illiteracy and in Democracy among the whites. The Gazette is indebted to its esteemed contemporary, the New York Age, for the excellent group cut used on our first page today. When the president in his campaign for the League of Nations tells us that it will keep us out of war, who can doubt his judgment? Were we not kept out of war just as he promised in his campaign for the presidency in 1916? Language was given to express thought. Tallierand cynically said it was given to conceal thought. The language of the constitution of the League of Nations seems to have been given to confuse thought, if we can judge by the dispute as to what its verbiage actually means. If our women here in the north do not "get busy," and very soon, too, their "sisters" of the other race will have an unfairly administered literacy test amendment "tied about their necks" like our men suffer from in many states of the south. The Louisiana Federation of Women's Clubs (white) is already urging it. President Wilson encouraged the sending of women labor delegates to the Peace Conference and apparently regards with favor the demand of the Irish for a hearing of their cause but absolutely refuses to permit our delegates to go to France. "The south is in the saddle." If you question this, read the short letter from Camp Sherman, elsewhere in this paper and be convinced. Whenever our New York race papers mention Col. Wm. Hayward of the 369th Infantry we always feel like asking them why the Colonel got rid of the Afro-American line officers of his regiment so soon after reaching France and why he did not give us a few of the forty replacement officers he asked for and received while abroad? Until he answers these questions, little sincerity can be attributed to much that HE says in praise of the 369th. HERE'S THE SECRET A suspicion rife in Washington since the publication of the so-called constitution of the League of Nations has been confirmed by the Echo de Paris, a leading paper of the French capital. "The covenant," says that journal, referring to the new constitution, "years visible marks of the haste with which it has been drawn up. It was necessary to have the goods ready to go aboard the George Washington on a certain day, and from the conflicting material at hand the most valuable has been taken." THE "TS" HAVE IT. Said President Wilson at Boston: "When I sample myself, I think I find that I am a typical American, and if I sample deep enough and get down to what is probably the true stuff of a man, then I have hope that it is part of the stuff that is like the other fellows at home." A little counting shows that this sentence contains six "T's" and one "myself," in a total of fifty-two words. His entire speech, not a long one, contains 85 "T's," 12 "mys" and one lone "mine." Total ego-average, one hundred and one. Patiably the president is never wholly absent from the president's own mentality and vocabulary. But is it not a proper criticism that a man who speaks of himself so much must excessively have in mind his own ambitious designs and fame? As was said in days of old. "Thy speech betayeth thee." In the midst of the measuring pro- German propaganda that is appearing constantly in one form or another, it is refreshing to note that there has been no let up in Marshall Foch's dealings with the enemy. The German armistice commission recently requested a delay in the signing of the armistice terms until the following Monday noon. Foch replied that the armistice expired at 5 o'clock Monday morning, and that 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon was the last hour for signing in order to give him time to move his troops in case the terms were refused by the Germans. If it was not signed by that time the Marshall declared the armistice terms would no longer be in force and he would act accordingly. Marshal Foch has been in intimate contact with the German long enough to form an accurate estimate of his character. Unlike the commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States, who, it is said, refrained from visiting the devastated areas while he was in France for fear he would hate the Germans too much, Foch has learned by hard experience that the only thing they will respect is the energetic application of force. Apparently there is a nasty factional fight or considerable personal feeling existing between certain leaders of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men. Last Monday, according to current report, Geo. A. Myers was treated with scant courtesy by those in charge of the entertainment of the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, who was here for the purpose of delivering an address at St. John's A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the C. A. of C. M. They not only made it impossible for Mr. Myers to entertain Mr. Scott, as planned, the intended guest being notified of the dinner before reaching the city, it is said, but apparently purposely kept Mr. Scott "on the go" in such a way as to make it forable for many others of his long-time friends and acquaintances in this city to meet him. Such action is childish, silly and ill-becoming men of mature years, even if limited in other essentials, and Mr. Scott should know that the guilty parties are NOT representative and leading men of our people of this community. We do not intend, however, to convey the impression that some of these latter were not busily engaged, Monday, in an effort to help entertain Mr. Scott and are in nowise responsible for the reprehensible action to which we call attention but regret it as much as do many of our best citizens of this community. St. John's church was crowded to the doors and many were unable to get in to hear Dr. Scott, Monday evening. This was a testimonial to the man and not to the organization or the men it placed in charge of the affair. The luncheon it gave him at Hotel Winton, at noon that day, was, too, characteristic of those in immediate charge of it—a far too limited an affair for a guest of Dr. Scott's position, prominence and large acquaintance. CLEVELANDERS IN FRANCE. What Our Boys of the 813th Pioneer Infantry Are Doing—Where They Are. Paris, France—Capt, David Ford young Clevelander spoken of as likely to play a prominent part in the future life of his native city, was here Monday making inquiries about the army educational program. He expects to study at the Sorbonne, the university of Paris, for a little time. He has been with the 813th pioneer infantry, an Afro-American unit in which they are a number of men from the Central and Scovill Ave. districts of Cleveland. Maj. W. K. Gunn, formerly a teacher at the University School in Cleveland, also was with the 813th. The unit is officered entirely by white men. The regiment was going into action at Verdun on the very day that the armistice was signed. Since the signing of the armistice, according to Capt. Ford, the 813th has been located in and around the St. Mihiel salient. Its principal duties have been the salvaging of war materials and repairing the badly damaged roads of the area. The unit was trained at Camp Sherman and came over here with the Eighty-third division. Europe's Crack Band to Tour Country. Camp Upton, L. I., N. Y.—James Reese Europe and his world famous 369th Infantry band are scheduled to tour the country, starting in the near future. The band left the service in a body, Feb. 22. All the large cities in this country and Europe are included in the schedule. Among the many honors showered upon it were compliments from Generals Foch, Joffre and Pershing, a concert for President Poincaré, a request for a concert by the Prince of Wales, and the newspapers acclamation of its being one of the best four bands in the world. Soldiers to Be Given New Trial. Chicago, Ill.—Eighteen Afro-American soldiers convicted of an alleged attack on a woman visitor at Camp Grant last May are to be given a new trial, as the result of an opinion by the judge advocate general that they were not fairly tried. It was said presentation of the case to the president had resulted in an order from him for a new trial. The Central Ave. and St. Clair Ave. bathhouses to be erected at a cost of $45,000 and $125,000 respectively will be started in March. The Central Ave. bathhouse, to be located at E. 25th St., will contain 33 showers. The other, to be located at St. Clair and E. 87st St., will also contain 33 showers. Both are to have "33 showers" and yet the St. Clair Ave. bathhouse is to cost nearly THREE TIMES that of the Central Ave. district. WHY? Is this the sort of unfair discrimination, Councilman Tom Brennan of the kind of a representative Ward. should have in the city council? We want to know what our thoughtful people of that ward think about it. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, MARCH 8, 1919 Influenza and kindred diseases start with a cold. Don't trifle with it. At the first shiver or sneeze, take HILL'S CASCARA QUININE BROMIDE Standard cold remedy for 20 years—in toilet form—safe, sure, no opiate—breaks up a cold in 24 hours—relieves grip in 3 days. Money back if it fails. The genuine box has a Red top with Mr. Hill's picture. At All Drug Stores. There is a letter at The Gazette office for W. L. Downing. Tell him to call for it, at once, if you know him Again The Gazette warns our people of this city to STOP buying lots in other states and subscribing to "defense" and other funds that you do not KNOW, personally, are what they are alleged to be. It seems that Cleveland is a mecca for this sort of thing, these days. Some of our people are so "easy" to separate from their hard-earned money that it is just like "taking candy from a baby". You are going to need your money before the year is out, especially next winter! It is rumored that the collection taken from those who attended the Ministers' Alliance "emancipation celebration", held in St. John's A. M. E. church, early last month, was given to W. H. Crabble to help him pay his expenses in the $10,000 damage suit instituted against him (Ormond Forte and the Western Newspaper Union) by the editor of The Gazette, last November. Members of several churches, who were present, are very indignant and claim they were taken advantage of. If the farmer is true, it certainly a dirty trick to prosecute them and the rest of the public in attendance upon the affair. Crabble presided at the "celebration." BEST FOR THE BLOOD — Puro Herbs. Sold only on Brown Drug Co., cor E. 28th St. and Central Ave.— Adv. FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods. The Best Advertising Medium is "The Old Reliable" GAZETTE. 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 riches 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 imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." You should take PURO HERBS, the great blood purifier and system cleanser. On sale only at the Brown Drug Co., 2742 Central Ave., cor. E. 28th St.—Adv. PREJUDICE "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. "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. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. That human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been rallied against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition 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. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant 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.

Ralph Moore, and many other local boys of the 372d Inf., arrived from Camp Sherman, Wednesday. O, yes! the editor of The Gazette was at the armory, Feb. 22, to see our soldier boys return. This, to satisfy a few inquisitive ones. Friends in Cleveland of Mrs. Mattle Guy Harris and niece, Miss Eva Guy, for many years a public school teacher, and daughter of the late James Guy, be pained to learn of their deaths in Zanesville recently. Mrs. Margaret Turner of Mt. Vernon, mother of Mrs. J. H. Ferguson and Geo. H. Turner of this city and Messrs. Frank and Jesse Turner of Mt. Vernon, died recently. She was highly respected wherever known. Dennis Fowler, an assistant superintendent at the city's garbage plant, has been "let out," it is said, and "Germany" Hudson given his place, Dennis is to take a job with a Youngs-town hotel, report says.

THE ALL-STAR BOXING TOURNAMENT scheduled for ACME HALL, Tuesday evening, MARCH 18 19, promises to be the BIGGEST THING of the kind our people of this city has ever had. DON'T MISS IT!

Antioch Sunday school gave its annual banquet, recently, 120 partaking of the fine repast. A splendid program was rendered after supper by representatives from the different departments. The historian gave a resume of the work for 1918, which showed the school prosperous and growing and had answered the question of the call's call. The address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Brown of Lane Memorial church. The birthday party given "Starlight" (A. D. Boyd) at his residence in Carnegie Ave., recently, was a very pleasant affair. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hudon, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kersey, Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. E. Drake, W. Josephson, E. W. Sellers and Councillor Tom. Fleming "Star" wouldn't tell his age, saying he was "hashful" as a woman on that particular point and we don't blame him. Mrs. Fleming's absence was noticeable, it is said. Strangers in Cleveland, and others are renewing the vain effort to start a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A, it is currently reported. They want to get our sixty odd teachers out of the local public (mixed) schools, have "jim-crow" schools here, like the same kind of "jim-crow" Negroes forced on Dayton, Columbus, Philadelphia and other words, they would have here in Cleveland and the very condition that drove most of them from the south to this city. LORD HAVE MERCY! At the seventeenth anniversary of the Hiawata Club at Mrs. Walter Wright's, W. 85th St., recently, the opening address was delivered by the president, Mrs. Carrie Crawford, and interesting talks were given by Mrs. Sada Anderson and Miss Florence Thomas. Mrs. Robert Corom and daughter, Mrs. Hazel Blake, sang. The secretary reported over 700 given to charity since its inception. The meeting, Monday evening, at Mrs. Minerva Taylor's, E. 49th St. was also very interesting and beneficial. The Afro-American's contribution in winning the war was told by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Baker, at a lunchon at the Hotel Winton, Monday noon, and at St. John's, A. M. E. church, Sunday evening, and A. M. E. under the auspices of the C. A. of Mr. Scott and Dr. E. A. Bailey are both Texans and old friends. That is why the latter's fine new "Hudson Six" was at the former's disposal while in the city, Monday, Chas. W. Chesnut, Esq., entertained Dr. Scott at dinner, Monday evening, and the Caterers' Association entertained him at a "smoker" after his evening for their efforts to help make Mr. Scott's short stay in the city as pleasant as possible under the circumstances. On Friday, Feb. 28, '19, Mrs. Anna Twine, president of the Helping Hand society; Mrs. Bessie Carter, vice-pres; Mrs. Lizzie Hamilton, sec.; Mrs. McHenry, Mrs. Nancy Hollingsworth, Mrs. Sadie Houston, Mrs. Rebecca Corom and Mrs. Carrie Scott, remembering the home home of Mrs. Delta Bottas, Allendale Ave, E.C., where they had been entertained. When they started to go from a Euclid Ave. car, in charge of Conductor 822, to its trailer the latter yelled at them in a most insulting way, calling them "cattle," according to Mrs. Carter, who called at The Gazette office to ascertain the proper course to pursue or cooperate with the proper spirit, Mrs. Carter. Let all who are treated improperly on public conveyances and in public places emulate her example.* "Ex-Judge Mayo of Chicago," who claimed to be here from Gary, Ind, selling lots, raised $1,000 at Shiloh Baptist church on a recent Monday evening, it is said. On the following afternoon he appeared at the church and was paid that amount for lots. The next day, Wednesday, in the church when he appeared at the church as a pastor, he was arrested and released on a $2,000 bail bond furnished* from Chicago, after being compelled by federal authorities to deposit $750 of the $1,000 in a local bank, it is said. This amount was to be returned to the would-be lot buyers, Wednesday of this week. so we were informed by an officer of the church. The $250 balance, it seems, is to be lost. The "sufferers" also paid an attorney $500 which was paid to the less $300. Mayo also appeared at Mt. Haven Baptist church prior to his going to Shiloh, it is said, and wanted to get into St. John's church. The Cleveland Daily News' illustrations and account of the home-coming of the Old Ninth Ohio Battalion, February 22, was on the whole not only insulting but positively disgusting, and must have been written by a southern "cracker." How any city editor of a local daily newspaper, unless he too was a "cracker," could possibly tolerate such is beyond us. The attempt of the reporter to write the southern dialect was positively silly, it was so crude. Then, too, those he attempted to quote, as a rule, speak better English, we feel sure, than the aforementioned re- porter, judging him by his last Saturday's "output." In marked contrast, were the illustrations and account, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It was fine and free from the many objectionable features that characterized the News' account. It was decidedly the best of the three daily papers and The Gazette felicitates Managing Editor Erie C. Hopwood on the same. Dr. Oliver A. Taylor, one of Cleveland's prominent physicians, is the second physician of our race to be made an active member of the Cleveland Academy of Medicine, in Prospect Ave. Dr. Mottley (deceased) was our other member. Dr. Taylor thus becomes a member of the State Medical society through his membership in the local academy. Dr. Taylor is already a member of the National Medical Association, a Fellow of the American Medical Association and a graduate enrolment. Before coming to Cleveland he resided in Topka, Kan., where he was known as one of the most skillful and successful physicians in the state. For ten years he served as railroad surgeon for the state of Kansas, while for over fifteen years he was a member of the staff of the leading hospital of Topka, i. e., the Stormont hospital. Many of Cleveland's prominent white physicians met him while he was still in the west. His wife, Mrs. O. A. Taylor, is a pharmacist and a great teacher in many schools. Miss Threlma, their daughter, is a violinist of ability and an accomplished pianist. Miss Taylor is a student at East High school and a member of its orchestra. Dr. Taylor and family reside on Crawford Rd. St. James A. M. E. church was filled at all services. Sunday. The occasion was the opening of the revival.

Group No. 9 gave a supper at Mrs. Emma Anderson's, Quebec Ave, recently. Group No. 10, held a foot sale, last evening. The church is all alive earning funds with which to move to another location. The pastor and Major Anderson spoke to the congregation at Collinwood, Sunday at 4 p. m. Mrs. Clara Harris and the Warrick family have been quite ill. Mr. C. T. Bundy of San Diego, Cal. writes the editor of The Gazette as follows, under date, Feb. 24, 199: "I is with pain and sorrow I write to inform you of Mr. J. C. Brown's death which occurred, Monday, Feb. 17, at 6:30 a. m., here in San Diego. For the last three and a half years he had been with us (Mr. and Mrs. C. T.

Sloan's Liniment Kills Pain how one feels when they meet in a strange land persons whom they have in former years. It is almost like meeting some near relative. As Mr. Brown had always been so nice to us we just felt as though he was one of the family and looked upon him as such. He always called us up on the phone or came over to see us frequently to let us know how he was getting along. As he was sick only a short time, his death was a terrible shock, which we will not get over for a long time. He was taken sick on Tuesday, Feb. 10, called the doctor on Wednesday morning, Feb. 16, was examined and found to be outwardly sick to the hospital and was sick only five days. I called up the hospital three or four times, daily, so as to be informed of his condition and always got favorable reports until Sunday, Feb. 16, when they discovered pneumonia had set in. They stimulated him, trying to scatter it and at first seemed to check it and at first seemed to check it. On Monday morning just 30 minutes before he passed away, the nurse said he told her he was sick and he had been sick for his best but his bed she found he had passed away. So I notified Mr. Earl Parker and he took charge of his belongings, and after notifying his daughter in Pittsburgh made arrangements for the fu...ral, which took place. Thursday, at 2:30 p. m., Feb. 20, from the beautiful parors of the Johnson-Saun Company's undertaking establishment, the finest in southern California. A large number of the most respected citizens gathered there to pay their last respects to him. He had made a lot of friendships and had best people address him. A short but excellent address was delivered by the Rev. B. W. Guy of the A. M. E. church. The choir rendered beautiful music and sang his favorite hymns, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "Rock of Age," and "Neaver, My God, to Thee." There were many moist eyes among his friends who sincerely mourned his departure. Their tokens of esteem were much in evidence by the many beautiful floral pieces which were banked about the casket. Burial was in M. Hope cemetery to the right of the cemetery Mrs. C. T. Bunny = Miss Jennie Patterson, a highly esteemed resident of Cleveland, many years ago. Mr. Bundy desires to be remembered to Mr. Sam Pentecost and others. --- Brownell Drug Company Successors to Sachs-Mitchell Drug Co.

PALMERS SKIN'S SUCCESS Soap 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 HE WAS ALWAYS ON THE LEVEL The Reason Why John L. Sullivan Has Always Been the Pugilistic Idol of the Americans. Just think of a professional boxer who could not walk the streets of any large city in America without the crowds who are eager to catch a glimpse of him causing a congestion of traffic. If you can picture this man to yourself, you have the writer's choice of the best heavyweight ever developed in this country. Twenty-five years ago it was freely asserted that if John L. Sullivan were to walk on Broadway or Chestnut street on one side, and the President of the United States were to go down on the opposite side, there would be more people following the then heavyweight champion than the executive of the nation. Such is hero worship. And the assertion was often proven to be true. Owing to the constant adulation, Sullivan rarely would walk from the railway station to the hotel, nor could he go shopping from store to store the same as any other human being. He always was obliged to ride in a cab. What was the magnet that so attracted mankind to Sullivan? What were the attributes of character that so endeared him to the sportsmen of America? It was because John L. Sullivan was always on the level. He always fought to win. And in the 12 years which he held the championship title, the money which followed him generally came back doubled. On September 7, 1882, when he was virtually beaten down by James J. Corbett after having a target for the California bank clerk's blows for more than one hour, he pluckily struggled to his feet, toottered to the side of the ring and clutched the ropes. As soon as he was able to speak he made one of the manliest speeches ever uttered by a beaten boxer. With his lips quivering he said: "I have been defeated fairly and squarely, but I am glad that my title has been won by an American." Sullivan never fought thereafter. He realized that the pace of the Marquels of Queensberry code had so quickened that he was unable to keep up with the procession. He gracefully retired. Humiliated by his defeat and troubled because those who had such confidence in his ring ability had lost thousands of dollars in wagers. Sullivan told the writer he would never fight again. "No one will ever lose a cent on me again," he added firmly. The next morning after the great battle, with the late Thomas J. Ryan, who was then harbormaster of Philadelphia, the writer sought Sullivan in the Turkish baths at the Young Men's Grynnastic Club in New Orleans. Later the little party was joined by Jack McAuliffe. We were the solitary visitors to the defeated man. Corbett, the new champion, had the crowds. Sullivan, so confident of his ability, fought for all he possessed. In fact, the winner took all. Sullivan's only asset was a $20 note, and his heart was so big that he was willing and even eager to spend that on his trio of friends. That was the real man. He valued friends and they valued him. His financial distress was not of long duration. On his return north a benefit was arranged and Madison Square Garden, New York, was crowded t the roof to pay homage to the man who had so honored the American ring. He was again started in life. No matter what his takes Sullivan made, he was the chief sufferer, and he was always the idol of the American sporting public. Sullivan was a man with great force of character and will power. Seven years ago, when he was approaching 50 years of age, he looked back over his varied and, shall I say checkered career, and determined to cut out the drink. "As strong as I am I cannot handle it," said Sullivan. From that day began his restart in life. With Frank Hall, who also made the row with Sullivan, he began a tour of the country. The "Big Fellow," as he has frequently been alluded to by his legion of friends, retired last year, giving his last public performance as a monologue artist in this city. The William Penn theater, in West Philadelphia, was crowded afternoon and night, not by a sporty crowd, but by gray-haired men and children. The man the other side of the footlights, now with silvered hair, was a great object lesson. A clean moral followed in the wake of his performance. No man ever received a greater ovation than did Sullivan at those 12 entertainments. He is now retired to his New England farm, with the ownership of a moving picture house in the village nearby to occupy his mind during the winter. His wife is the sweetheart of his school days. She waited for John until he gave up drink. Who knows but after all she may have been the direct inspiration. Of his ring history volumes could be written. It was marvellous when contrasted with the boxers of today Space will only permit the writer to allude to it in abstract. He did what no other living man ever attempted, let alone accomplished. He was born in Boston, October 15, 1858. His nationality is Irish-American, and it proved a splendid combination, for Sullivan's heart was as stout as his body was rugged. On February 7, 1852, he fuddled Paddy Ryan at Mississippi City with bare knuckles for a wager of $5,000 a side and the heavy weight championship, and Sullivan won in nine rounds. In that bout with bare firsts he developed wonderin' punching ability. With his hands on cased in five ounce gloves, his backers believed that there was not a man in the world who could stay four rounds with Sullivan. He was virtually the originator of the knockout blow, a short right swing to the jugular vein. In September, 1883, Sullivan started on a tour of the country, first offering $50 to any man who was on his feet at the end of the fourth round. He performed the feat night after night in this city at Clark's Boxing Club, which was located at Eighth and Vine streets. He mowed his opponents down in short order. Few lasted beyond the second round. Men who were eager to win the $50 became scarce. The offer was gradually increased until it reached $1,000. From city to city Sullivan traveled, and in that year knocked out more than 50 men. Not one succeeded in winning the purse. Prior to this tour Sullivan met Tug Wilson, a busy English heavyweight, in Madison Square Garden. They boxed for 65 and 35 per cent of the receipts. Wilson to receive the greater percentage if he remained four rounds. The bout almost caused a riot. Wilson dived in at the bell in each round, catching Sullivan around the waist and holding on until torn away by the referee. He repeated the trick in each round, and should have been disqualified. But he was there at the finish, and several days afterwards sailed back to England with $17,500 tucked away in his jeans. He had outwitted the referee, Sullivan and all connected with the show. After boxing with gloves from 1882 to 1888, John L. was induced to go abroad, where he fought Charley Mitchell with bare knuckles on the turf at Chantilly, France, March 10, 1888. Sullivan suffered a broken arm during the bout, but he managed to get a draw in the thirty-ninth round. He then returned to America and was stricken down with typhoid fever. For weeks he hovered between life and death. He finally rallied and again his extraordinary physique won. After the fully recovered he was again challenged by Jake Kilrain for the heavyweight title. William Muldoon took hold of Sullivan and trained him as he had never trained before. He im pressed Sullivan with the fact that he had a new lining to his stomach and was in reality starting life over again. Kilrain and Sullivan met on the turf at Richburg, Minn., July 8, 1889, for a wager of $10,000 a side and the championship, with bare knuckles. Sullivan won in 75 rounds. The men fought under a broiling sun and the work of the "Big Fellow" was a tribute to Muldoon's superb training. It was virtually the last fight in America under the London prize ring rules, and it can be written without fear of contradiction that John L. Sullivan was never beaten under those rules. Two years later the wily James J. Corbett lured Sullivan into a fourround exhibition in San Francisco. It developed later that the bout was arranged merely for Corbett to test his skill against the rushing, slugging tactics of the champion. Corbett outboxed Sullivan, but no damage was done by either. The California bank clerk had accomplished his purpose. Later his manager, William A. Brady, made the match, which was decided in New Orleans September 7, 1892, the result of which is now history. It is roughly estimated that in his 12 years as a ring title holder Sullivan made more than $3,000,000, but he squandered it all. At 50 he began to collect again. This time as he earned he garnered, and today he is comfortably rich, enjoying the autumn of life on his New England farm—Philadelphia Record. STRENGTH OF INSECTS It is an old story that a flea can jump 200 times its own height in the air. Insects are so far beyond man in muscular development that the most highly developed human being could not hope to compete with one of the smallest of them if forced to do so on equal terms. Recent tests have shown the remarkable pulling, lifting and leaping ability of insects. A wood beetle less than two inches long, for instance, proved that it could pull a wagon loaded with thirty times its weight in sticks. When forty-five times its weight was added to its load it continued to pull and succeeded in moving it an inch. When the legs of the beetle were attached to the small meter by which its strength was being tested it exerted force equal to that a man 250 pounds in weight would exert if he were able to lift a ton. A Hercules beetle proved its right to that name when put to the extreme test. Although it was but three inches long it pulled more than twenty times its weight and walked away with a weight of five pounds on its back. A proportionate weight upon the shoulders of a man would crush him to death. A house fly, held by the wings and brought close to a match, lifted it up with its feet. To perform a proportionate feat a man would have to lift a beam twenty-six feet long and thirteen inches thick. FINDS IDEAL VIOLIN WOOD Oregon White Fir Pronounced Best for Purpose. J. L.

BIRDS CHIEF AID IN MINE RESCUE Canaries Which Show Location of Good Air Now Necessity After Every Disaster. Canaries are used in mines to test the quality of the air after accidents in mines. The experiments with birds proved so successful that canaries are now the chief reliance of the United States Bureau of Mines in the rescue of entombed miners, and it is estimated that during the short time they have been used more than 5000 lives have been saved. The rescue of miners from the after perils of mine explosions is one of the principal functions of the United States Bureau of Mines, which was organized after the terrible disaster in the Monongah mine, in West Virginia, in 1907, in which 356 men were killed. So effectively does this bureau work that the average annual death toll in the mining industry has been cut down from 3000 to 2000, or from seven men for every 1,000,000 tons to 429 men for every 1,000,000 tons. Without canaries, however, this work of rescue would not be nearly as effective. When there is an explosion or a cave-in at a coal mine, and miners are entombed, a specially equipped life-saving railway car is rushed to the scene. Following a mine disaster there are always places in the passageways where the air is pure, and if the victims could be dragged to them there would be no necessity of wasting the time to carry them to the surface. The difficulty which rescue parties invariably encountered before canaries were used was in finding these pure air spots. The leader of the rescue party, however, is now equipped with an ordinary brass bird cage in which a wide-awake canary hops. The bird is taken into the mine under the ever-watchful eyes of the leader of the rescue party. As long as the bird continues to chirp and hop about in the cage the rescue party continues on its way. But as soon as the bird's activity begins to waver the progress of the party is halted. The fact that the canary begins to feel "wobbly" is an indication that the air is impure, and that such victims as they find will have to be carried beyond this place if they are expected to recover. The party retraces its steps, carefully watching the physical condition of the bird in the cage, until a spot is reached where the '.cd' revives. Here one of the rescue party is left with the bird to refresh it with his supply of oxygen and to await the return of the rest of the party with such victims as they may find. The rescuers then proceed, minus the bird, penetrating into the farthest depths of the mine until they come upon the entombed miners. The victims, usually unconscious, are carried to the place where the canary, again apparently perfectly lively, is now stationed. If at any time in the course of the rescue work the canary again shows evidence of being affected by the atmosphere in the mine he is moved back to a place where he revives. Canaries were chosen for this work after other animals were found to be unfitted for it. At first the bureau tried mice. It was found, however, that the little creatures were too untrustworthy. They are inclined to be sulky at times, even when in good physical condition. The canary, on the other hand, remains cheerful and active as long as its physical condition is sound. All that it requires is pure air. Latin Names Needed What is called a cruller in New York is called a doughnut in Boston, and what is called a cruller in Boston is called a doughnut in New York. And so on through the list. There is no more certainty or fixity about the popular names of dishes than there is about the popular names of flowers and birds. At least 30 different flowers are known by the name of "mayflower" in the United States. The mayflower of New England is the arbutus of New York and the wax myrtle of the South. To obtain certainty in such matters it is necessary to have a scientific classification and a Latin name. When you speak to a botanical gentleman about a "mayflower" he knows not what you mean, but if you refer to the Epigaca repens he knows exactly what you are talking about. Consequently we shall never have any certainty about what a dish is until we have a regular scientific classification, with Latin names, for all dishes. In that case the "botanical name" of Vermont hasty pudding would be something like muslius cormealeensis, and no chance for controversy.—New York Mail. Had "Queer" Money 1,600 Years Ago The fact that counterfeiting in coins existed sixteen hundred years ago has been brought to light, the University of Pennsylvania Museum announcing that among Egyptian reliefs recently discovered are counterfeiting outfits. The moulds are of brick. The plan was to make impressions of each side of a coin in soft clay and then burn the two sides. An opening was left at the top, in which molten metal was poured. The rogues flourished in the reigns of the Roman Emperors Maximus, Licinius and Constantine, from 313 to 367 A. D. There is but one suit that seems to fit, and it is a suit for damages.
