We were very muoh disappointed in
not seeing one of the Gazette’s valu
able friends while in Pittsburgh last
Sunday. Mr. B. F. Gross. But we shall
visit Pittsburgh again soon.
Up to going to press we had not re
ceived our usual newsy letters from
Columbus, Chicago, Dayton and sev
eral other places. Too much Christ
mas, we suppose.
Such is the demand upon the col
umns of the Gazette that we are unable
to publish a number of excellent letters.
Among them are J. V. G’s, of Pitts
burgh, and J. S’s, of Painesville,
The editor of the Gazette visited
Pittsburgh last Sunday and was royally
entertained and treated by Messrs.
J. T. Braxton, J. C. Delphey and J. W.
Anderson. The latter named gentle
man’s estimable wife and mother are
indeed treasures that J. W. A. certainly
appreciates.
Pursuant to the call, delegates from
Athens, Clarke, Clinton, Fairfield, Lo
gan, Perry, Hamilton, Delaware, Ful
ton, Franklin, Champaign and Green
Counties assembled in Columbus Wed
nesday and did little beyond organiz
ing. Pernfenent officers were elected
a? follows: President, C. S. Maxwell,
of Greene County, with six vice presi
dents; Secretary, George E. Comley, of
Hamilton, with two assistants.
What ft great thing hap»ene<Hn the North?
Why the appointment of Hon. George L.
Huffin as a judge in the Bay State. Ovations
are being tendered hitn in every city of that
State. But recollect we colored folks down
South have been honored higher than that.
We have had Lieutenant Governors, Congress
men, Senators and in Memphis “half of the
police force'* is colored.— Record.
And if you could get what is your due
according to your numbers, you would
hava all the offices, and nearly all the
Memphis police would be colored men.
For Boston or Massachusetts to have
one colored judge is more than your ‘
having all you have had and still have.
The reporter of the Leader who wrote
the article in Thursday’s issue of that
paper headed “Feeing Waiters,” re
ported the clerk of “one of Cleveland’s
best” hotels as saying that waiters re
ceived “good wages. Those who wait
on the tables nearest the door get $35
and S3B per month. Besides this they
get their board. Hardly any of them
get less than S3O a month. Some of
them make $lO or fls a month extra
by picking up fees from customers.”
These statements are far from the
truth. The average wages received by
waiters in the hotels of this city is $24
per month and board. This being the
case, they certainly need as much extra
a* they can possibly get. And the re
porter of the Leader in trying to create
a gentiment ag in ^giving waiters extra
pay is certainly not doing the square*’
thing. Until the hotels pay living;
’ prices the waiters must look to well
disposed guests who have the means,
to give them extra money, for which
they will receive extra attention.
W« are happy to be able to a: aouncc
totitepatrofis and readers of the Ga
zscrrt that we have succeeds 1 iu ae- j
<*n*C t Mb of “personal I collec
tions” of the chief in Um late

chant pen of our late fellow-citizen.
Prof. Paul Gaston, .of Kansas City,
Mo., whose late series on “L’Histoire
desHeros D’Afrique,” and other com
munications, afforded such high grati
fication to our readers. The series will
be interspersed with occasional essays
of an historical, scientific and domestic
character, and from what we already
know of Prof. Gaston’s versatile ac
complishments, our readers may ex
pect a rich treat in the perusal; of his
articles.
In the “Recollections” we shall
have sketches of Napoleon 111. The
Empress Eugenie. Marshall, McMahon,
Generals Cluseret and Bourbaki, Henri
de Rocheforte, several of whom were
students and graduates with Prof. Gas
ton at Strasbourg. The initial number
will appear early in January. That
our readers are anxious to see more of
Prof. Gaston through the columns of
the Gazette, is manifest by the numer
ous inquiries concerning him made
since the completion of “Le Heros da
Afrique.”

Notes.
DXCKMBER 24.1883.
The few copies of the Gazette that
have reached this city have made quite
a favorable impression, and I infer
from it that an attempt to introduce it
here would be attended with success.
There are few places along the Ohio
where our people, in proportion to their
numbers, read more than in this city.
I d® not claim that all of the literature
read is of the most wholesome charac
ter. Some of it, doubtless, is of the
sensational sort, which excites the fancy
but which leaves no lasting impression.
What we need is to spend a little less
money in this class of reading matter
and a little more to foster and encour
age those newspapers of our own,
which have the interests of the race at
heart and which must continue to be
the exponents of our material as well
as of our intellectual and moral ad
vancement. The exigencies of the
times demand this, our educational
interests demand it, while our social
relations are calling loudly for
a reform in this particular.
It matters not how widely we may
differ religiously. As a factor in Amer
ican politics, and as the one object of
American prejudice, we must recognize
the fact that we yet have a unity of in
terests. The enemies of human rights
are united and are untiring in their ef
forts to prove our citizenship a failure,
and we can in no way so easily disprove
their assertions as by pointing to the
colored press of the country. I take.it
that this press is just what we make it,
and it becomes a power for good in
proportion as the people give to it their
pecuniary and moral support. It is by
this support that it is to attain to any
degree of efficiency and thus become
reciprocally the gauge of the people’s
advancement.
The churches here are preparing for
their annual holiday entertainments,
such as festivals, Christmas trees and
concerts. Next Sabbath will be the
twentieth anniversary of the Wesleyan
Sabbath,school, the oldest school in the
State. They anticipate a pleasant
time.
Miss Carrie E. Williams, the very
efficient teacher in the A Primary de
partment of the Sumner School, has re
signed her position and returned to her
home in Columbus, CK, much to the re
gret of her 'many friends here. Already
several of our young gentlemen are
anticipating visits to Ohio’s capital.
Mr. Fremont Anderson, of Cincin
nati, paid a Hying visit to our city last
Sabbath, returning home the same
evening. I did not ask Miss C. E. W.
why his visit was so short, and I am
very sure no one else can answer. Con
jectures are various.
Miss Campbell, of Charleston, is visit
ing friends in this city. Jolech.
The Dakota Colored Colony.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 19, 1883.
To the Editor of the Cleveland Gazette:
Sm: The rapid development of Da
kota Territory in the last four years
has been the wonder of the whole
American people, and if I have been
commanded to select one place in the
universe to illustrate human develop
ment under the guide and influence of
absolute freedom, and where you can
enjoy equal rights of citizenship with
out trouble or annoyance, 1 could not
have designated a part of the United
States so interesting and desirable as
Dakota Territory. In the year of 1882,
a colony of quite a number of prominent
colored men in Chicago was organized.
The colony was named after Mr. Wat
kins, who was the prime mover of the
enterprise and who is one of our enter
prising citizens, who holds the respon
sible position as chief engineer of en-
Sine No. 21, of the Chicago city fire
epartment. They have taken up sev
eral thousand acres of land at
Villard, the County seat of McHenry
County, located on the Northern Pa
cific liailroad. The land is about
ten miles from the line of the railroad.
They have had part of the land under
cultivation and it has yielded abundant
crops. The soil is rich and productive;
the climate is excellent and fuel in
abundance. Colored immigration is
solicited to this county and purchase
land and secure foryourselves and your
children homes. You will find better
advantages there than in any other place
in this broad land. Arrangements are
now being made for about^ thirty fami
lies that are going to their new western
homes, about May 12, 1884. We have
placed before you an opportunity for
thousands to get homes and become
connected with one of the brightest
futures of any land company under the
sun.
Any information about the matter
can be had by applying to Mr. Watkins,
George Reed or Moses Arnold, at
Engine House, 21 Taylor Street, or the
undersigned, John G. Jones,
8717 Butterfield Street, Chicago, 111.

MASONIC DEPARTMENT.
Jere A. Brown,Grand Secretary of th* Grand
Lodge, of Ohio, Editor.]
We cordially solicit news of any and all
description from the Lodges, Chapters,
Commanderies, and other Masonic or
ganizations, not only of this State, but
from other Jurisdictions as well. Ques
tions pertaining to Masonic Jurispru
dence and the Order in general will be an
swered according to the best authorities
and the practice of this Jurisdiction.
. We commence, with this issue of the
Gazette sketches of distinguished
mea of our race who are connected with
the Masonic organizations of this State.
As the starting point is in the lodge, we
shall also start there and present to our
readers
SAMUEL W. CLARK, ESQ., OF CINCIN-
NATI, OHIO,
who was born in that city July 25/1847,
attended the public schools of Cincin
nati, 0., completing the course in 1860.
After leaving school, served an appren
ticeship at the tinsmith trade and en
gaged at steam-boating until 1868,
when he had saved enough money to
take a two years’ course in higher
mathematics, book-keeping and the
natural sciences at Adrian College,
Adrian, Mich., admission to the high
schools and business colleges of Cincin
nati, 0., being denied on "account of
race prejudices. After leaving Adrian
College he still continued his efforts at
gaining a thorough education through
private tutoring and self-application,
which he finally accomplished. In 1865
he was chosen as a teacher in the pub
lic schools of Cincinnati, 0., which po
sition be has held with credit to himself
and honor to his race until
the present without any interruption,
except being promoted to a position in
the Gaines High School.
MASONIC RECORD.
In 1870, on April sth, he was initiated
into the mysteries of Masonry in True
American Lodge No. 1, Of Cincinnati,
0., subsequently being passed May 9th
and raised June 17th of the same year
and in the same lodge, where he still
holds and has held his membership.
After serving successively as Senior
Deacon and Senior Warden, he was, in
1872, elected as Worshipful Master,
serving two terms, and again in 1879
being re-elected to the same position,
serving one year. In 1871 he was ex
alted to the Holy Royal Arch, serving
as Principal Sojourner. In June, 1872,
was elected High Priest of Prince White
Chapter No, 1, R. A. M. of Cincinnati,
0., in which he now holds his member
ship. In 1873 he received the orders of
Christian Knighthood in Zerubbabel
Commander? No. 1, K. T., of Cincin
nati, 0., and was elected Captain Gen
eral of said Commandery in 1874, being
re-elected to said position for five con
secutive years. In 1872, while attend
ing the Grand Chapter for the State of
Ohio at Cleveland, 0., as the represent
ative of Prince White Chapter
No. 1, was elected M. E. G. H. P.,
serving as such until 1876.
In 1875 was elected Grand Captain Gen
eral of the Grand Commander?’ for the
State of Ohio, serving as such until
1877, at which time he was elected to
the office of Most Eminent Grand Com
mander, serving as such until 1880. In
1879 he was elected to the honorable
position of Most Worshipful Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge for the State
of Ohio, being re-elected in 1880-81-82-
83. At present he is an honorary
member of the Supreme Council of
New York, A. A. S. Rite Masons, 33d
and last degree. As a citizen he is
highly respected in the city of his na
tivity. Having been for eighteen years
a popular teacher and educator,
many of the younger men of Cincin
nati, sat and learned under his tutorship.
In the Fraternity there is no member
who holds a closer relation to his breth
ren than he. This is evidenced by his
rapid advancement, from the date of
his entry in the Fraternity, and his suc
cessive re-elections to the highest po
sitions known in Masonry. As a Ma
sonic Jurist and Ritualist, lie is the peer
of any Mason in the State of Ohio to-day.
While there has been some who, either
from jealousy or prejudice have assailed
him, in a manner beneath the dignity of
any honorable person, his brethren have
met the charges of his calumniators
and answered them by an unanimous re
election to the honored position he now
occupies. This is or should be con
clusive evidence of the success or
failure of any administration, and so we
regard it, for on the submission of his
official acts he has never met with
nothing but approval.
We have received a communication
from Brother John G. Jones, of Chi
cago, which, owing to the publication
of the Ohio sketches and the demand
upon the column, will appear in the
future.
Railroad Notes.
Owing to the wreck of a freight train
between Danville and Lafayette, on
the W., St. L. & I. Road last Sunday,
passenger train No. 2 was ’rid out sev
en hour's, but arrived in Toledo in time
to connect with No. 20 on the Lake
Shore Road.
Mr. Ackers, of the Union Depot din
ing hall at Cleveland, arrived home
last Wednesday evening, after a long
visit East.
Mr. William Allen, of Toledo, has
been reinstated in the Wagner Car
Company.
The last severe snow storm caused
considerable trouble among train men
and delay of trains on the several
roads.
The D., L. &W. station at the foot
of Lloyd street is apparently of very
ancient origin, and had been used some
years ago for other business purposes.
A train which had hauled up in front
of its waiting room was the only object
of interest which attracts news seekers.
Mr. A. Anderson, who runs a Pull
man sleeper over the Chicago & Alt n
Road, made a short visit to the city
during the holidays.
Mr. Cottrill, of Toledo, was the guest
of your correspondent from Toledo to
Cleveland over the Lake Shore Road
dn the 25th. Mr. Cottrill, the corre
spondent is glad to know that your dis
patch arrived safely.
—England spends six times as much
money for wars actual and possible as
she does for education. France spends
fifteen times as much, and Russia eighty
times as much. Even this country,
where the army is upon a footing of the
least possible proportion, and the navy
is scarcely worthy of the name, much
more is spent upon them than upon the
public schools. —JV. F. Herald,

THE NEW AND REVISED EDITION
, -OF THE—
Underground Railroad,
BY WILLIAM STILL,
WITH A LIFE OF THE AUTHOR.
A large, handsomely printed, highly illus
trated and beautifully bound book, which ex
plains the mysteries of Ti>e UndtrSToUMS
ItallroHd, and preserves the only records,
made at the time, of the escapes of slaves and
their heroic struggles to obtain freedom.
These records were faithfully taken from
the lips of fugitives. Their making and pre
servAtion would have cost the life of the au
thor had he beep detected. They are therefore
history which would have been lost but for the
risk he took. And what wonderful, stirring,
thrilling history, tod! How it rounds out and
completes the history of out country! How
momentous it is to the colored race! It is their
exode from Egypt, their grand march through
the wilderness, their entrance into Canaan.
All would ktiow it. All will know it.
This new Edition contains much matter not
In the old, among which Is a carefully pre
pared life of the Author, written and pub
lished at the request of many friends, and in
serted in his book with the hope that it may
encourage his brethren everywhere to do what
men must de) in order to succeed. This life
also contains many pleasant allusions to the
great anti-slaverv leaders, such as .Sumner,
Wilson, Greeley, etc., sac similes of their hand
writing. In it are found, too, many bits of
history which have never before seen the
light, as, for instance, the escape of several of
old John Brown’s officers, and the way they
got passage on the Underground Railroad to
places Of safety. _
Altogether tni«book is one which must prove
interesting and profitable to every reader; and
to the colored race, whose heroism helped to
make it, it must prove a history at once in
structive and inspiring.
A commanding volume of 850 pages and >0
illustrations. A work which sells readily.
Agents wanted, with whom liberal terms will
be made. There is money in it for energetic
canvassers, male and female.
Sold only by subscription. Price $4.50.

—f oreman Allin, of the Springfield,
Mass., armory, who is something of a
meteorologist, has a novel explanation
of the gradual equalization of climate
north and south —that at the south be
coming colder as that of the north e
comes warmer. Every storm he thinks,
is due to electricity, and the railroads
and telegraph lines, with their steel
rails and wires, forming as they do a
network of conductors all over the
country, tend to equalize the climate.
