LYNCH-MURDER IN NORTH TEXAS AND MANY HOMES ARE BURNED!

UNION OF AMERICA
THE OCEAN CABLE CAUGHT A WHALE
The Limit in Fish Stories Has Just Been Received from Far-away Chile
LEWITHAN HELD EIGHT MONTHS
Cable Wouldn't Work—Repair Ship
Gent Out Fishing—Dragged to Surface Whale with Three Turns of Cable Around Its Body.
In November last an officer of the Central and South American Telegraph Company called on the director of the New York Aquarium with a letter from the electrical engineer of the company, who desired to know to what depth a whale could descend and whether an air breathing mammal could stand a water pressure of nearly half a ton to the square inch. It was prompted by an interruption of the ammonia carrying cable between liquefied and aquamarine, Chile, which occurred on August 14 last, and which was caused by a large whale that was afterward drawn to the surface by the repair steamer Friday from a depth of 400 fathoms. an article in the New York Zoological Society's Bulletin, an aquarium number, from which the above facts are taken, continues:
The cable in which the whale was entangled weighed in air, while wet, 1.716 tons per nautical mile and had a breaking strain of 6.08 tons. The weight in salt water was 1.055 tons per nautical mile.
If the whale came to the surface to blow, he must have held two or three feet in suspension. This, however, is unlikely, since it had four terns of the cable around its body; one in its mouth.
the cable was doubled with the cable was discovered, tests from Valparaiso and liqueur placed the break about thirty miles from the latter place. On August 16 the Faraday left liqueur for the position of the break and began grappling in 342 fathoms, with 500 fathoms of rope out.
The cable was hoved up, cut and tested to liqueur. The end was buoyed and, the ship, grappling further out, picked up the cable, which came twice twisted and with increasing strain.
A large whale was brought to the surface completely entangled in the cable. The stench been unendurable, the cable was cut close to the whale and the vessel moved to windward.
Telegra was made and Valparaiso spoke. The ship made four soundings in the vicinity which showed a depth of 415 fathoms (2,480 feet, nearly half a mile).
It is extremely doubtful whether an air, breathing animal can go as deep as 400 fathoms, and as that depth is much below the limit of pelagic life, on which most whales feed, it is not likely that the whale would penetrate such a depth. Total darkness, moreover, prevails in depths of 400 fathoms.
According to the records of whale-wheres have been known to stay under water more than an hour and after, being harponed to have carried out a mile of line before reappearing at the surface, although this does not necessarily mean that the whale was carried down vertically.
The Valparaiso-Iquique cable was laid on January 27, 1906. At first sight it seems unlikely that the whale entangled in this cable could have remained eight months without complete dislaboration or being gradually consumed by small forms of life on the bottom.
The deep sea, however, is intensely cold, the temperature being close to the freezing point of fresh water, and the temperature, unless accidentally attacked, might be more than ten degrees longer than in the warmest surface waters.
Since, from what we know of air breathing animals, it is unlikely that would descend 400 fathoms of its own accord, and as a deep seabed cable is not laid very slack, it is desirable that the whale could have fled to the bottom.
The logical conclusion is that it became entangled during the laying of the cable, eight months before, when there was a considerable length of it in suspension. The twisted condition of the soft and heavy cable about the animal swims, that the energy expended in the rain effort to free itself must have been enormous.
My dear, I was one of the very
best to leave," said a man, who on
remaining from an evening party, was
greeted respectfully by his wife.
"Oh, you always say that," she re-
terred.
"Well, I can prove [t this time, anyone], insisted the husband. "Look in the hall and see the gold-mounted umbrella I brought home."

YOUNGSTOWN—Commenting on the report that President Wilson is in sympathy with the Irish cause and believes that the League of Nations has the right to take up the troubles of oppressed minorities: "The N. Y. Sun" has the following to say: "It is as plain as the nose on Uncle Sam's face that if the League of Nations can take up the Irish question in America, it is as plain as the Negro question in America. It is as plain as daylight that if the representatives of one race can bring its troubles to the League of Nations the representatives of another race can bring its troubles to the same tribunal. And it is as plain as a pikistaff that if the League of Nations interferes in the internal affairs of one nation not involving another, but from interfering in the internal affair of another nation. Now if the Irish question is loaded with dynamite the Negro question is loaded with TNT. Outside of Ireland nobody, questions that legality of the kingdom's rule in that island, and inside of Ireland a good many persons do not question whether they object to it as a political fact. But inside the United States and outside the United States everybody knows that the political condition imposed on the Negro in the South is brutally, openly and completely illegal. That condition is imposed on the Negro in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, and tolerated with the full knowledge and consent of a large majority of the white population of this country, North and South."
DRAWS $8,000 A YEAR
Assistant General Manager of a Great Street Railway System
Toronto, Canada—The prolonged street are strike in Toronto brought into the public eye probably the most successful colored business man in Canada; Fred Hubbard, assistant general manager of the great Toronto street railway system, who draws a salary of $8,000 a year, certainly the highest salary paid to, any colored man in Toronto and probably in all Canada. His grandparents were native of Virginia moved to New York years before the war of the rebellion. His father took an interest in municipal affairs and year after year was elected alderman and controller and on one occasion was acting mayor. He became a municipal authority and his color never prevented him from getting votes. Fred Hubbard entered the municipal city service and when his chief was appalled by the police in the railway system, he was one of two clerks taken along as secretaries. He was rapidly promoted until he reached his present position.
Running a "Jim-Crow" Booth on the State House Grounds
Columbus, O.—Much invidious comment has been caused here by Rev. E. L. Gilliam, pastor of Donaldson St. M. E. church, conducting a "jim-crow" information booth on the state house grounds during the Methodist Centenary. The white Methodists had a spacious and well equipped information department on the grounds, sufficient for all, to where the thousands of visitors would gather for information. The one designated "for Colored people" was a little "jim-crow" arrangement conducted by Rev. Gilliam, who assumed "a big part" in working up the centenary movement among our M. E. churches. For him to pose as president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and at the same time countenance, much less superintend a "jim-crow" information booth with other staff, the capitol of Ohio, is very inconsistent. The prejudice has been growing here by lepsis and bounds during the last few years due to the fact that our people have condoned it, as usual.
His License Revoked!
Mexico City, Mex.—Because he refused to serve Jack Johnson, world's champion heavyweight pugilist, who is making his home in this city, Walter Sanborn (white), formerly of Memphis, Tenn. and Los Angeles, Cal. proprietor of the Sanborn drug store, has had his license revoked by the city authorities here. The revocation of the license came when Generals of the force, Frederico Montes, friends of Johnson, asked that Sanborn be denied the right to do business in this city. Sanborn attempted to reach Johnson to apologize to him, but the pugilist refused to receive the druggist. Good!
EDITOR WM. DUBOIS FAILED
But Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter continues to fight For Us in France.
Paris, France, July 10—Wm. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston (Mass.) Guardian, representing the National Equal Rights League, has sent to Sir Eric Drummond, secretary general of the League of Nations, a long petition asking that certain clauses be inserted in the League of Nations Covenant. The clauses, the petition calls are designed secure for Afro-Americans and other racial minorities "full democracy." The petition told of the part taken on the battlefront by Afro-Americans and the black soldiers of other countries. "It is notoriously indisputa-

ble," the petition said, "that colored Americans were deprived of or denied, either in law or in fact, full liberty and democracy." The petition made the statement that none of the various treaties and conventions, for the League of Nations Covenant continue the work intended to secure liberty and democracy to the colored citizens of the Allied and Associated Daughters of Treason! "His good work reminded us of "Capt." Wm. DuBois, because it is so different from that of the latter. DuBois TALKS and WRITES well, but is apparently useless when it comes to DOING something material or even leading in anything of the kind. DuBois is no leader!
Our National Bar Association will meet in St. Louis, Mo. Aug. 13-15. Records have been made, and placed on the market, of Clarence Cameron White's violin selection, "Chant" and one of Harry T.

Harry Wills, undoubtedly the best of all present day heavyweight boxers, defeated Sam Langford, the former champion of eight rounds on July 4. Jack Johnson could give this man the training that he needs to whip Jack Dempsey, if he would.
An Afro-American housekeeper, for thirty-five years in the service of Oliver B. Wood, a Camden business man, passed away at $20,000, his residence, motor cars, garage and contents of the home. The housekeeper, M. Annie Blackstone, is the chief beneficiary of the will.
A WOMAN GAVE $10,000
A Member of The Race, 100—Real Race Interest
New York City—Dr. J. M. Caston, chief executive of the Presbyterian board of missions for freedmen, reports a woman of the race, a graduate of Scotia Seminary, a Presbyterian school in North Carolina, left a widow on her own resources, who courageously opened a rooming house in an Ohio city and accumulated $15,000. Of this she has set aside $5,000 for business capital and the remaining $10,000 she presented to the Freedmen's work of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. in order, as she said, "More girls may have the same chance Uldad."
A Hot Reception Tendered Lynch-Murderers Who Sought Jones at Midnight.
Longview, Tex., July 11.—Four white brushes were wounded in a gun battle between Negroes and whites here early today. The shooting occurred, when 15 armed white brushes approached the home of L. Jones, Negro school teacher, to lynch-murderer today for publication of an article in the Chicago Defender, in which he related details of the alleged lynching of a Negro at Longview, June 17. Whites, deny such a lynching took place. According to reports, the white brushes were approaching Jones' morning, when seized Negroes suddenly opened fire on them, wounding Ernest White and Ed Kelley severely, and slightly wounding Grady Bear and Ed Nelson. The article in the Defender, dated July 4, tells of the lynching of Lemuel Walters, who, the story relied upon, jailed following acknowledgment of white murder. The victim he loved him and would marry him if possible. Walters was taken from jail and hanged, the story says, and the news suppressed. White residents, when the story was called to their attention, called on Jones, demanding and yesterday Jones was severely beaten. More than one hundred armed white brushes drove Negroes from the neighborhood of the Jones home this morning Sheriff Meredith said at noon a company of Texas Rangers, for which he telegraphed this morning institution was quiet. He denied the Jones story of the lynching. Dealing it was pure fabrication. Negroes were arrested at noon, but Jones, cause of the triplicate, escaped.
Austin, Tex., July 11.—Appeal for aid to quail a race at Longview was received by Governor Hobby about nontoday. Information was, whites and Negroes were in battle and several Negroes had been killed and a number of Negroes were burned. A number of Negro houses have been burned. Immediately following receipt of advices from Longview, Governor Hobby ordered Rangers to be

Mission Congratulates U. S. on Victory; Brings President Valuable Gifts.
Washington, D. C., July 14.—The president today received the Abyssinian mission sent to this country to congratulate the American government on the victory of the associated nations. Members of the mission appeared in gorgeous costumes of red dress, gold shoes, and jewelled turbans. The presented number of gifts to the president including tusks of ivory, gold boxes and letters from the Abyssinian queen and
sent to that city, and also ordered one troop of cavalry, National Guard, at Dallas, and one troop at Nacodoche to be held in readiness to be moved to Longview in event their services are needed. Right Rangers under command of Capt. Aldredge left Austin at noon for Longview. Capt. Hanson at San Antonio also has been ordered to Longview.
Longview, Tex., July 14.—Martial law was declared yesterday in Longview and the rest of Gregg county as a result of riot trouble here, precipitated by a fight. Friday morning, between white and colored, men and marked by the murdering one, were arrested after they had "resisted atrest." There was no further disorder. Brig. Gen. R. H. McDill of Dallas returned to Longview yesterday and immediately, assumed command of the situation with more than 250 cavalrymen of the Texas National Guard, proclamation of martial law was signed by Gen.

Fourteen white men were arrested, Monday, July 14, on warrants charging "assault," with the pitched gun fight between white and colored men. Friday. The men were released on $1,000 each, pending action by the county grand jury. Two more white men are to be arrested on warrants for same charge. Henselman, the ranger force here, who said still further arrests would be made at once on charges of arson in connection with the burning of six colored persons' residences after the clash, Friday. Kanaka, the ranger force here, Monday took several colored men in custody and placed them under guard at the military camp, pending investigation.
heir-apparent. The head of the mission, Daddazmir Nadeo, addressed the president in his native language and Mr. Wilson replied to the address at some length. In his address to the president, he reviewed the history of his country and expressed the hope that the friendship between the two nations which began with the reign of Menelik II. would continue and develop. President Wilson in reply said: "Excellency: It gives me great pleasure to welcome you as a special mission seat by the Abyssinian government. States on the victory won over Germany and to receive from you the letters of her imperial majesty Saouditu, Empress of Ethiopia, and his imperial highness Ras Taffari, heir apparent to the throne of Ethiopia, present himself pressing the message of closer relations between our countries in the future.
"The history of your government dates back to the remotest antiquity; your people have been constant in the faith of the Old Testament for many centuries and yours was the first of existing nations who embraced docu-
tions of travel by land and sea, our mutual relations in the past have not reached great development. However, bonds of close friendship have been estab-
lished between our two governments, and we know that these bonds will grow still stronger, resulting in greater commerce and easier and more frequent intercourse between Abyssinia and the United
States of America.
"I thank her majesty for her sentiments of good will and ask you to make known to her my sincere wishes, for her personal welfare and the prosper-
ity and happiness of your great country.
"It is a great pleasure to receive you as our guests and I trust your visit may be a happy one."
Abyadiniana Arrive
New York City—When the Cunard liner, "Maurentia," came up the bay, last week, she flew the flag of Abasinia, Africa, the first time it had ever been displayed by a steamship at this port. The flag, of green, yellow and red horizontal strips, with green, sphinx, flew over a mission sent by the French, greeting and congratulations upon the successful end of the world war to the governments of the United States and Great Britain. Prince Nadeo heads the mission and with him are kantiba Gabron, Ato Hirouy, Ato Sinkae and an interpreter to a place in the sun" when warriors defeated those of Italy, many years ago.

FAKE ROBBERY
GAME FAILS
Thieving Agent of Wisconsin
Corporation Nearly Got
Away With Bundle
Resort was Had to an ingenious and Elaborate Ruce—The Counter-Fake—How it was Worked—Got the Victim's "Goat" and He Confessed.
It was a fashy looking story. The local agent of a New York corporation out of a Wisconsin town, handling its funds daily, reported a robbery. Two men had come into the office late at night, when he was at work on the books, and at the points of pistols he had yielded up $3,000 of the company's funds. Two days later the confidential traveling agent of the corporation dropped into the town and talked it over with the local man in a quiet way. "In five minutes," he told Tip, "I knew there had never been any robbery. How did I know? Instinct. The story, he told was too sweet. There wasn't a fawl in it. It was like a framed alibi. You know the best alibi, until you can knock it out, is the one that is 'invented for the occasion.'"
Queercest of all things, the "victim" had no bad habits. There was no sign of extravagance anywhere to confirm the visitor's impression that the robbery was a myth. Yet, he could-not get the convolution out of his mind that the thief was the employee. With the time of the alleged up-fixed by the suspected one, resort was an ingenious man, and when it was disposed to the Chief, of Police he revolted. The Third Degree! He was willing to get into trouble with those New York tricks. Our agents argued the interests of justice. At last persuasion won.
There was one _policeman who stood ready to assert that at the hour the local agent had fixed for the bolt-up by his two men in buckram he and another _policeman were in front of the office where the mythical robbery had _occurred. "An accommodating bartender, slinking home, as he said, from a clandestine rendezvous, had passed the spot at the same hour and had seen the policemen. If there had been a robbery, if there had been any men near the office, they would have been sure to see it come off. Oh, yes, they had looked in the windows and there was no one in the sure of that. "But-suppose this officer doesn't work?" demanded the Chief of Police. "A fine mess my policemen will be in!" The confidential agent met this quickly: "They will not be under oath. If the trick doesn't go through, then the policemen can come out and swear to the truth and no harm will be done."
The frame-up complete, the victim of the supposittive robbery was taken to Police Headquarters. Again he repeated his story, which was taken down by a stenographer. Then the policemen and the bartender, in his presence, related thethes. A consentent 'judge,' who threw himself on question paper, was deferentially led by the skillful investigator, lent to the impression upon the mind of the culprit that he was about to confront with an accusation of theft and that the circumstantial proof against him was overwhelming. Next came a private interview with the enemy from New York, and in exactly seven minutes the two men went to the spot where the $5,000, down to the last dollar, had been hidden by the local agent. Not a threat had been used against him, and he went to the house and took his down without a murmur—one year in the penitentiary—and unless he chances to identify himself with these lines he does not know how, he got his tumble, how nearly he got away with his little pla—Tip. in the New York Press.
Talk of dime novels? are alamed the insurance man. "You ought to read a Pikerton report on an insurance case if you want a utilier. Our company carries a great deal of burglary insurance, and, of course, when a robber occurs to any of our customers we put detectives on the case. The reports that these men send in are simple statements of facts, bold down hard, and containing nothing but what is absolutely essential to the business, but for intense interest they beat any novel I ever read or expect to hear. Our business is Raland and has become ancient history. I get out these reports and read them to a group of friends, and no play can hold a more absorbed audience. The actual trailing of a criminal by detectives and the marvels of ingenuity on both sides are world beasts for dramatic situations and excitement.

Now that Mr. Wilson is back for the summer, he might with profit to himself and benefit to his country read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
Editor W. P. Kemp of the Detroit Leader will please accept our sincerest congratulations and very best wishes on the recent entrance of his excellent race publication upon its eleventh year. More power to you and even greater success confere.
Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Praindaleer and president of the Kansas Afro-American Council of Defense, is still bombarding President Wilson for the mistreatment of Afro-American soldiers at home and abroad by prejudiced American officers, and is doing a good job of it, too.
"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unknowledge by our laws." Now, Democrats will say that this is a criticism of President Wilson. Really it is an innocent excerpt from the Declaration of Independence levelled at George the Third who was an autocratic ruler of his day.
In 1918, sixty-three Afro-Americans were lynch-murdered and twenty-eight since the first of this year. Five of these latter were burned at the stake. On May 16, one thousand white men, women and children watched an innocent Afro-American tied to a tree, riddled with bullets and burned to a crisp. This is American democracy in the South.

The Republican party does things. In forty days it passed nine great appropriation bills. Army bill 766 millions, navy 616, railroad 750, sundry civil 800 millions, the principal ones. Net saving from the Democratic bills of the last Congress, $1,500,000,000 in round numbers. We could take more words to tell it did not the record speak for itself.
"Punitive damages, the dismemberment of empires, the establishment of selfish and economic leagues, we deem inexpedient and in the end worse than futile; no proper base for peace of any kind, least of all for an enduring peace." This was said to the Pope August 27, 1917, by Mr. Wilson, before he saw a vision of the presidency of the League of Nations.
ONLY ONE; NOT BOTH!
If the League of Nations guarantees peace, what is the need of the treaty with France guaranteeing to go to war for her whenever she needs us?
If the treaty to go to war for France is necessary, then how can it be claimed that the League of Nations guarantees peace?
If we have to have the French treaty, why the League of Nations?
Why make one agreement for peace and another agreement for war?
Why take poison in order to get the antidote?
The president has brought home at least one treaty too many.
COMPLETE MORAL BREAKDOWN
It may never be known to what extent the league of nations was endangered when the fate of Shantung hung in the balance at Paris. It is openly hinted that had not Japan secured control of the peninsula she would not only have refused to become a member of the league, but would have joined hands with Germany in the formation of a counter organization. China, although great
in population and natural resources, is not powerful in a military sense, and was in no position to enforce the rightful return of her territory. Japan was ready with armies and fleets to wreck the league. Under the circumstances Mr. Wilson did not hesitate. Shantung, one of the richest provinces of China, was handed over to Japan. With it went upwards of 40,000,000 population, valuable mining rights and privileges, the only railroad that connects the province with other transportation lines, the submarine cables that furnish communication with the outside world—all these were violently separated from China and arbitrarily transferred to Japan. "The Shantung affair," says Senator Borah, "is perhaps the most complete moral breakdown in the history of treaty making." Other Senators take a similar view of the disgraceful transaction, and it is likely that the Shantung provision will prove almost as grave a stumbling block to the ratification of the treaty as the league of nations itself. Not only does the transfer create a distressing present condition, but the situation established by it is forever guaranteed by Article X of the league covenant. That feature of the dispute is what finally caused the Chinese delegates at Paris to withdraw from the conference and refuse to attach their signatures to the treaty. They went so far as to accept the disposition of Shantung as a temporary solution, but insisted that if they signed it would be with a reservation that at a specified time in the future Japan should restore the province to China. Mr. Wilson and his colleagues would not agree to that proposal, and the result is that China is excluded from participation in the league, and remains independent. "The Chinese delegation had no course open save to adhere to the path of duty to their country." That is the lofty sentiment contained in a statement given out by them on the day the other nations signed the treaty. China is helpless. She can make no effective protest against the ravishment of her territory, but though peace for the moment has been achieved by the forcible partitioning of the Chinese Republic, the seeds for future wars are surely sown thereby. Not only will China never forget the injustice that has been done her, but other nations will see in the Shantung incident conclusive evidence of the inconsistency and insincerity of the whole league of nations project, and be quick to question the morality and justice of every decision that the council may make. Do the people of the United States wish to see their country placed under the domination of a league brought into being under such circumstances? If gross iniquity, profound injustice, and glaring hypocrisy mark the birth of a league of nations, accompanied by the brandishing of the might of strong nations over the heads of the weak, is there any reason to expect that a different code of morals will govern the transactions of that league in the future?
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor' had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894;
The General Code of Ohio
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned less than fifty dollars nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.

DARE-TO DO YOUR DUTY

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 19, 1919.
RATTLESNAKE ISLAND
One of those strange freaks of animal and reptile distribution that puzzle the naturalist is found on Rattlesnake island in Lake Winnipegaukee, N. H. The lake contains fifty-seven islands of all sizes, from a few square feet to hundreds of acres, but only on Rattlesnake is there to be found anything more alarming than the harmless and pretty garter snake, says an exchange. The country surrounding the lake) mountainous and well wooded, but it is free from snakes. Rattlesnake island has a monopoly of rattlers.
The island is one of the largest in the lake as well as the most picturesque. Its name forbids trespass and it remains to-day as virgin as when the Indians gave the lake its musical name.
Just why the snakes should have chosen this particular island for their abode is a mystery, although an event of a few years ago made it clear how they might have reached it. Rattlesnake island is some miles out from the mainland and several hundred yards from any other island. Some years ago a fisherman, holder than his fellows, landed on the island and there cooked his lunch.
Perhaps he was a bit nervous, for he forgot to put out his fire and the wind fanned it into a blaze. A large part of the island was burned over and during the next few days many rattlesnakes were found on the mainland and the neighboring island.
Within a week, however, the snakes were gone from the mainland, and not one snake of a venomous kind has been found outside of Rattlesnake Island and since then.
The snakes confine themselves to the rocky cliffs that form the uplands of the island and are seldom seen. One doubting Thomas who reasoned that there couldn't be any snakes on the island because he had never seen any, went ashore there one day and tramped about in his bare feet. As luck would have it he never saw a snake. The barefooted explorer nearly falted the next day when a friend armed with a shotgun explored the place and came back with a five-foot rattler. This led to the organization of a hunting party. The hunters wore high boots and looked the ground over carefully before taking a step. They found snakes in abundance and the numbers of the rattlers got on their nerves. After killing five unusually large snakes the party chose a large flat, rock near the water's edge and well out of the snakes' habitat for a resting place.
One of the hunters is a professor in a New York college. He doesn't teach natural history and his knowledge of outdoor life is not very extensive. As he sat munching a sandwich a cicada set up its shrill cry. Still holding firmly to the sandwich, the professor gave a wild leap that landed him in the lake. The cold water and the laughter of his friends restored his reasoning faculties, but he is still of the opinion that all the snake skins in creation would not tempt him to visit Rattlesnake island again. The beauty of the island has caused many people to covet it as the site for a summer home and the suggestion has been made to import a bird of hogs to exterminate the snakes.
Dr. Johnson on Good Breeding
When Boswell suggested to Johnson that "Gen. Paull," whom they had just left, "had the loftiest port of any man he had ever seen." Johnson denied that military men were always the best bred men. "Perfect good breeding," he said, "consists in having no particular mark of any profession, but a general elegance of manners; whereas, in a military man, you can commonly ditsinguish the brand of soldier."
Her Company.
Don't judge a woman by the company she is compelled to entertain.
Condemnation of Envy.
Envy is almost the only vice that is practical at all times and in every place, the only passion that can never He quiet for want of irritation; its effect therefore, are everywhere discoverable, and its attempts always to be decared—Dr. Johnson.
JUST WHAT IS
HYPOCRISY.
Of all the indispensable virtues known to man hypocrisy is the only one that has not been officially recognized.
Hypocrisy forms the basis of our daily lives, and no government could run without it for a week. It elects candidates, wins battles, preserves patriotism, and is the basis of most relations.
It is really laughable to see the efforts made by children to be natural, before they have acquired the art of hypocrisy. They tell the truth without the least regard to anyone's feelings, and with one fell swoop often undo the work of days. Fortunately, however, they are learning now more rapidly than ever before, so far as we know, and soon acquire enough hypocrisy to know how to be ordinarily polite.
Hypocrisy is practiced by all successful people. Indeed, its absence indicates failure. It begins in the nursery, when the sugar bowl, minus one lump, is made to preserve its former appearance, and ends in the graveyard with the last enology.
To be successful at hypocrisy, one must not know that one is practicing it. That is the reason why Mr. Rocko cefieler is at the head of his class.
Gorilla Closely Resembles Man
Gorilla Closely Resembles Man.
The gorilla is man's nearest relative on the earth today. He is so much like a man that in all likelihood, according to Doctor Gregory, he would in the course of ages develop into a very human sort of creature, if his apes were permitted to survive. Unfortunately, he will not enjoy the opportunity, because his race is being rapidly exterminated.
The car was crowded when the young woman entered, and almost immediately a tall man arge and offered her his place. He was reading a newspaper when she came in, and so had an excellent excuse for not seeing her, but he evidently considered virtue its own reward, and took pleasure in well-doing.
The young woman accepted the seat gratefully and sank into it with a sigh of relief while her benefactor held on to a strap with one hand and read his paper with the other as, our Irish friends would say. Hail a mile further uptown the woman signalled the conductor to stop the vehicle, and at her motion, an arrogant-looking individual who had been standing with his back against the front door, started down the aisle at a great pace. The car was still crowded, he tripped over an old gentleman's cane and a German woman's market basket in his flight, but notwithstanding these misfortunes, he arrived at the place where the young woman was sitting just in time to sink into it when she arose.
The original owner, standing immediately in front of it, said something under his breath that did not sound like a blessing, and two or three women who were also holding on to straps remarked tersely: "Well, did you ever!" but none of these things disturbed the arrogant man. He read a time-table for four blocks and then aligated apparently very well satisfied with his coup de main.
How Cloves Are Gathered.
More cloves are said to be used in America than in any other country, England and France following in the order named. In this country and in Great Britain they are used almost wholly as a condiment, but in France, they are used largely in the manufacture of certain liquors. To some degree they are employed in medicine for their tonic properties.
The name clove is from the French clou, meaning a hull. The tree is an evergreen, growing from forty to fifty feet high, with large oblong leaves and crimson flowers at the end of small branches in clusters of ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same family as the guava, the pomegranate and the rose apple. The cloves are at first white, then light green, and at the time of gathering bright red. Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees at harvesting time, and the branches are beaten gently with bamboo sticks until the cloves drop. They are dried in the sun, being tossed about daily until they attain the rich dark color which proclaims them ready for shipment. A clove tree begins to bear at the age of ten years, and continues until it reaches the age of seventy-five years. There are two crops a year, one in June and the other in December. Hot weather is favorable to the crop, although a little fog is said to improve the flavor.
CONNECTING LINK OF CIVILIZATION
How can there be a great worldwide culture without one common language? Even what unity there now is in the world was created by the Church with Latin ritual, and its constant teaching of Latin as the tongue of educated intercourse. Had this not been the case the great nations of Europe would now stand asounder to an extent almost inconceivable. But the great king pin and connecting link of civilization was the rude, common Greek speech. It helped advance the world with a rapidity that can be compared only to the effects of the press, steam and electricity on modern intercourse.
The true negro is not only the happiest, most care-free man and woman and child the world ever saw, but he is the truest and most loving, loyal and guileless friend the white man ever had. They have little white cunning and perfidy, and when they truly love a sure enough white man they are as happy in his service and adoration as a bumblebee in the heart of a Rose of Sharon. Your Uricle "Tommy" Jefferson and the "Great George" knew the hearts of them like a book, and loved them perhaps more than the great world they so greatly moved in.
Hot temperature more than anything else affects the emotional states which lead to fighting. The fight line on the chart rises beautifully, steadily, from the coldest to the hottest month, and then falls slowly to the coldest. The drunk line is exactly the reverse: 47 per cent, fewer arrests for souses in July than December. Suicides poetically fly the coop mostly in the pretty months of spring and fall.
LEAVING THINGS ALONE.
Some grow weary of those who constantly cry out for progress. To them are commended Mr. Chesterton's words:
"But all conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change. If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must be always painting it again. . . . But this which is true even of inanimate things is in a quite special and terrible sense true of all human things. An almost unnatural vigilance is really required of the citizen because of the horrible rarity with which human institutions grow old."
First Money You Earned.
Do you remember the very first money you ever earned through your own initiative, your own endeavor? Didn't you feel as if you and conquered the world? Didn't it give you a new strength, a new purpose—didn't you feel that you had found your place that fear had slipped away from you that lanceforth you were a new person, bound to win and be able to look the world in the face—Irish World.

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.
DISCOVERY IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Light Controlled Device for Timing Exposure
Disgusted with poor results obtained when he photographed his young baby with a small camera three years ago, Roy Steckle of Los Angeles, Cal., decided that his main trouble lay in the fact that he had no knowledge of light necessary nor the time to allow in taking a picture, according to the variation of light. Thus an idea was born, and for the last two and a half years Steckle has been perfecting the device on which patent has been granted, and feecs now that he has a nature controlled timing device.
This consists of a box one inch wide, three quarters of an inch deep and one half inch wide, placed in the camera. A scale is shown at the top, on which the various time intervals are printed. Inside of the box is an aluminum disc, entirely black and not reflecting. By the light of this disc a heat is caused, varying in strength according to light. The disc recalls from the heat, moving the small needle on the scale. When the disc has moved as far back as the intensity of the heat demands, it stops, and the needle registers the exact time necessary for a perfect picture.
HIS DEVICE PRINTS ON TIN
Illinois Man's Automatic Machine Is
Operated by Electricity
Operated by Electronics
After months of patient experimenting Harry Morse of Morrison, Il., has perfected an automatic electrical stamping machine for printing ink upon the sides of the tin cans. The invention is now being used in a local plant for stamping the batch number and factory letter upon the sides of tin milk cans while they are being filled.
The machine itself is a small nickel plated affair 7 by 7 inches in height and width and 10 inches long, and is very light in weight. The necessary amount of electricity for running it may be furnished by batteries or by city current.
In working it is almost as fast as the flash of electricity which runs it, having a capacity of 130 cans per minute.
The device is fitted with a quick detachable type holder, and type can be set at the beginning of the days work for as many batches as will be run through on that day. Patent has been granted.
GETS PATENT ON OAR LOADER
Machine Tested, Improved and Now Protected
Patents on a new ore loading-machine have been issued to Capt. Samuel Hore of Virginia, Minn. The machine has been in the stages of development for a year. It is designed to work under ground in restricted places. The device was tested during the summer at the silver mine. It has been loading ore at a rate of twenty or thirty tons per hour. It is expected that when the machine is properly made it will load ore at the rate of double this amount.
BOAT GOES 90 KNOTS AN HOUR
Craft Invented by New Yorker Has Five Propellers
Edward Fairfax Nauty of New York City claims to have invented a boat capable of developing 90 knots an hour speed.
He said that while he was on the steamer Philadelphia, off Sable Island, he had thrown a small model of his vessel in the water. In it was a note asking the finder to return it to him in New York.
His invention, he said consists of a porpoise shaped boat with five propellers, two forward, two aft, and one in the middle.

The invitation was signed by S. C. Kingsley, director of the Welfare Federation of Cleveland.
Nearly every voter one meets in ward 11 is opposed to the candidacy (for re-election to the Council) of Councilman Tom Fleming. The church people have apparently awakened at last. "Starlight" and some of the ministers, his and Tom's friends, can fool them no longer, they say. Is there anything Tom has done, in or out of the City Council, that our voters in that ward are proud of? Two years ago the Davis administration made Attorney Alex H. Martin and his friends believe that it would place him on its slate for "Muny" judge but secured the election of Judge Walter H. McMahon instead. Now it is trying the same case too. I do not again support the Davis administration at the election, this fall, with the Martin candidacy. Don't be so easy!
There was a rather impressive imitation of July 4 celebrations in E. 28th St., between Central and Scovill Ave.'s, Saturday night.

A letter, dated June 29, and post-marked Laurel, Miss., containing a photograph of lych-murdered John Hartfield, dangling from a limb of a tree, was received by Harry E. Davis, last week. Pinned to the picture was a newspaper clipping detailing the anti-lynching platform of the N. A. A. C.

On the back of the picture was written: "This is the way we'll give you your rights. Come down here and get a little of the medicine yourself." And they do say that Harry slept little, the night of the day the letter was received.
An interesting program and light refreshments were the features of the reception tendered the 179 new members of St. James A. M. E. church, Wednesday evening, at the church in Hudson Ave., E. Addresses were delivered by the pastor, Messrs. Reed, Williams and the editor of The Gazette who was the speaker of the evening. "Organization" was his topic. How well he pleased (as usual) can best be told by those present. A beautiful solo, selections by St. James' choir and orchestra, delicious ice cream and cake in an array that is pleasing to the materially to make it one of the most enjoyable social affairs ever held at St. James. The recent drive that netted over $2,000, making the new church fund total about $3,000 was the source of almost as much satisfaction as the greatly increased membership of the

Lieut. J. W. Clifford's Thanks
Washington, D. C., July 14, '19.
Hon. Harry C. Sr.
Editor Gazette,
Cleveland, Ohio.
My dear Sir: I wish to thank you for the mention you made of my appointment as special assistant to the director of insurance, Washington, D. C., in The Gazette of recent issue.
We are endeavoring to conserve one billion dollars, worth of insurance for the protection of discharged Afro-American soldiers and sailors and their wives and families, and I am sure you can realize what a step in the direction of greater financial independence and a larger measure of respect will be made if this is possible.
With complimentary expression for the city of Cleveland, the home of my youth and the splendid group of persons who live there, I remain.
Very truly yours.
J. Williams Clifford.
Special Assistant, U. S. Treasury Department, Bureau of War Risk Insurance.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING
While it is time 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."
OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very interested by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.
—George W. Blount.
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 judgement, 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.
