Feeling of the COIored People In
Cleveland.


CLEVELAND, o., April The shooting
of the negro, Charles Stanley, by Hoyt, an-
other negro, last Sunday night, has caused
great deal of feeling among the coored
citizens. 1t now transpires that Stanley
had girl who worked for the Hoyts and
was anxious to get her out of tho house on
tho night of the fatal shooting. 1t ap-
pears that the girl had been out of the city
and he did not know whether or not she
had returned. And he took the hazardous
means of looking into the window to learn
whether she was in the house. The excite
ment among the colored people in Cleve-
land all day Monday and in the evening was
intensified by the reported fatal illness of
StaIley's mother, who had received seri-
Gus shock by her sons death.
About thirty colored men met in secret to
discuss the matter. During the meeting
the feeling against Hoyt became very
strong and when one Of the men rose to
his feet and cried, "Let us lynch him {"
they all cheered the sentiment. few
influential colored men, however, prevailed
upOn the crowd to observe tho law and lot
it take its course.
LATER--It is learned this morning that
Hoyt has committed murder before. For a
fancied insult a few years ago he shot a
telegraph operator at Lawrence, Kan, dead
in the presence Of his family. Hoyt was
himself an operator and had quarreled
over the wire with his victim. He escaped
punishment through a legal technicality.

The Queen Sails.

LONDON, April 1.-The Queen, accom-
panied by Princess Beatrice, sailed from
Victoria and Albert. Their Royal High
nesses passed the night on board the ves-
sci, which lay at anchor in the harbor, A
large assemblage of people gathered on the
docks in the vicinity this morning and
heartily cheered as the yacht weighed
anchor and moved out to sea. Their desti-
nation is Aix-les-Bains. The yacht will
proceed to Flushing, from whence the
royal party will go by rail to Darmstadt
and AK les Bains

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Persistent AbsenIeeisin ON the Part
Of Certain Members.

There was not quorum of the School
Beard present last night, only Trustees Bir
ney, Curtis, Purvis and Smith being present,
and no business was transacted. This is the
eighth consecutive week that there has been
less than a quorum present. The business
before the board is the revision of the rules.
General Birney says it is evidently con.
certed movement ON the part of these absent
gentlemen to prevent any action on the part
Of this board. DIR. Purvis thought that If
the gentlemen were too much occupied to
attend the meetings it would be we'll to Pc
tition their removal. 1t was determined,
however, to attempt another meeting to.
morrow night, and If this was not more sue
cessful than the former efforts, probably
some steps will be taken to coerce the other
members of the board, either to take some
action or to cause their withdrawal.

A sKllfUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr. Kssson, has lately forwarded 10 his
Government an interesting account OF Il
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, OF
Vienna, which, wonderful TO tell, con.
sisted in the removal of a portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly onc.third of the organ-and,
strange TO say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms:-The appetite
is quite poor. There is n peculiar indies.
cribablc distress in the stomach, a feel.
ing that has been described as faint
"dH eoHc' sensations a sticky slime col.
lccls about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensations but, on the contrary, it
appears 10 aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sunkcn, tingcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore.
bodlngs. When rising suddenly from
rccumbent position there is dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costivc, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood bccom.
ing thick and stagnant, and docs not
circulate properly. After n time the
patient spis up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fermcnted con.
dition, sometimes swcetish to the taste.
Oftcntimes there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the intes.
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and nincty-nine cases out OF
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, a disease easily removed If
treated in Il proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Scigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-.
paration sold by all chemists and medi-
cine vendors throughout the world, and
| by the proprietors, A. j. White QIimit
| cd), II, Farringdon-road, London, Z. c..
| This Syrup strikes at the very founda
! ton of the disease, and drives it, root
| and branch, out of the system.

November, Goth, 1881.
Sir,-lt gives me great pleasure TO in
| form you of the benefit have received
from Seigel's Syrup. have been troub-
led for years with dyspepsia; but after
few doses of the syrup, l found relief,
and after taking two bottles Of it feel
quite cured.

PLANTS IN BEDROOMS.

The controversy as to keeping live
plants in q room at night continues
to he carried on with vigor aud acri-
mony, although most people have
probably supposed that it was long
since set at rest. Not so very many
years ago the danger of keeping such
things in bedroom was good deal
poohpoohed by practical persons,
who regarded the stories told in that
connection as old womcn's tales,
belonging to the same category us
the myth about sleeping under the
moon, or taking siesta under a
view tree. But then there were pub.
lished terrible accounts of fair
danes, who, despising the warning
in question and depositing bouquets
or flower-pots in their rooms at
night, had met with fate almost as
tragic rs that recorded in the dole
full ballad of the "Nistlctoe Bough."
Thercupon the scientific world, with
the whole crew Of unlcarncd folk at
its heels, rushed to the opposite con-
clusion and adopted a theory that
Hines. and even death might result
from sleeping in an apartment which
was adorned with living plants or
fresh cuttings. And now it turns
out that in going as far as this we
have gone good deal too far. AT a
medical conference recently held in
France it was demonstrated to the
satisfaction of all the savants there
present, that plants, as long as they
are plants only, may safely, and
even with advantage, be admitted to
the elysium from which they have so
often been c1iled. These pretty or
naments, as learned writer now
declares. "far from being hurtful,
are beneficial, inasmuch as they ex-
hale certain amount of ozone and
vapor, which maintain healthy
dampness in the air, and besides
that are destructive of the microbes
which promote consumptive tendon
cies in human beings. 1t is only
flowers and not the plants which bear
them that do the damage. Ferns
are innocuous roses and sunnowers
are pernicious-at least during the
interesting period while they are in
bloom. "-LOnlOn Globe.
