GRANVILLE AND TROT-
TER JAILED.
Thirty Days for Disturbing Mr.
Washington's Meeting.

The Superior Criminal Court
Room was crowded yesterday af-
ternoon by colored people, attract
ed there by the fact that Martin
Granville and William T. Trotter,
the two men found guilty of dis
trubing a meeting in the Colum-
bus Avenue Colored Church,
when Booker 7. Washington was
present, were to come up for SEN
tence.
Clement Morgan, the lawyer,
who appeared for the defendants,
offered a motion for a new trial on
the ground that the verdict was
against the evidence and the
weight of the evidence, but this
the court overruled, and then Mr..
Mclaughlin, the assistant district
attorney, moved for sentence.
Counsel called seven gentlemen
to speak as to the character of the
men. which was more than usual
ly good.
Judge Sherman, after listening
patiently to all these witnesses
said:
"It is most unsatisfactory
thing to pass sentence in such a
ease. This is a very sad case.
Here is a race that in certain parts
of the. country have prejudice
enough against them. But here II
he CITY of Boston we try to give
them their rights, and that at a
meeting called for a lawful pur-
pose, and to hear one of their own
distinguished men, there should
have been this disturbance by such
men as these is disgrace. :"
Clerk Manning then read the
sentence committing the defend
ants each to 80 days in jail.-Oct.

A "FAIRY" CALENDAR,

The constant improvement in calendars
is becoming more marked each year. The
creations III this line, which a score o.
years ago, would be deemed works OF
art are now cassed with those varigated
mental compositions of which Poor Rich
ards Almanac was a vertable proto-
tyne.
This great advancement in the art of
making typographical charts by which
the passage of the year can be accu-
rately gagged is mainly-if not entirely
due to the perfecting and cheapening OF
the various processes of printing. These
have developed TO such a state that to-
day, the work of the printing and litho-
graphic press rivals that OF the painter
himself. In fact, it is possible by the
expenditure of great care and skill to so
reproduce a picture that it will at a short
distance puzzle even an expert to tell
whether it is genuine or not.
AS an illustration. of this fact, the 1904
Calendar just issued by The N. K. Fair
bank Company is an example. For years,
the Fairy" CALENDARS of this compan'-
have ranked among the leading annual
art creations, but in the present instance,
they have fairly outclassed previous eff
| forts.
The Calendar is composed of seven
sheets, 10 by 13 inches in size, printed on
heavy glazed paper and executed IN twelve
different colors. The first sheet represents
an idealic figure of young woman who
is Ranked each side by a broad, wavy
blue scroll on which appear the different
monthly indices, twelve in all. The 9th
er six sheets are devoted to six individual
bust studies of young women from the
brush of C. Warde Traver, an artist Of
natural repute.
Each head is given a frame effect in
imitation of burnt leather, with borders
and decorations in L'Art Niuveau (The
New Art) which is the latest French
treatment for decorative effects and is all
the vogue
Taken altogether, the Calendar is n
distinct and remarkably beautiful work of
art which should be in the possession Of
every lover of the ''home beautiful
me new calendar is being given in
return for ten oval fronts from Fairy
Soap boxes or 25 cents in stamps and can
be obtained from The N. K. FairbanlI
Company, Chicago.

bers, the Republicans have eleven mem
bers and the Democrats six. This, he
said. was unjust and unfair and was an
outrage to minority which, he said, Is
entitled to a larger representation. Mr..
DeArmond also charged that the com
mittee were made up for partisan pur-
poses. He said he would propos rso-
luton with viw to adding on Demo-
crat to each of the sixteen committees.
Mr. Olmsted (Rep., Pa, said that Mr..
Clark whom he designated as 1.-The Demo-
cratic statistician, wit and prophet" had
already predicted a Democrat President
and House in 1904, and added that if this
prophesy should prove true, it would
drive hundred million dollars into hid
ing within thirty days. He characterized
Democratic doctrine as "a Happy Hooli-
gan brand of craftsmanship which brings
disaster upon everybody concerned"
Mr.. Williams (Dem., Miss.), challenged
a statement by Mr. Olmsted that wages
were never higher than now. He said the
Republicans were so insstent on the pro-
tective policy that they want to give
things to people who do not want them.
Mr.. Payne referred to the criticisms
of the committee assignments made by
Mr. DeArmond. He reviewed the record
to show that the Speaker had not de
parted from precedents.

1T is TOWARD REDUCTION.
Tendency in Classification Ratings.
Classification Committee Adjourns.
(By The Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 5.-The Southern
Classification Committee, of which p. F..
McGovern is chairman, had adjourned
after three days session at the Raleigh
Hotel. Nearly one hundred items OF
classification were discussed by she mem
bers of the committee, and several rep
resentatives Of the shipping public were
heard.
Reports that the classification ratings
were to be advanced as a result of this
meeting were erroneous.
In a majority of cases the ratings We're
reduced, some changes being made in the
wording to prevent any misunderstanding
as to the purpose of the classification.
Out of a total of ninetynine subjects
discussed only three changes were made
which indicated an advance, one OF these
being on locomotives because OF the
greatly increased weight Of the locomo-
tives manufactured in recent years. The
other two advances were unimportant.
The chairman stated that the tendency
in classification ratings IS in the direction
of reduction, and this meeting was no
exception to the rule.

Colds Lead to Chronic Catarrh.

A common cold is acute catarrh, which
quickly becomes chronic catarrh if al
lowed to remain.
Every cold snap leaves in its trail
thousands of cases Of catarrh, many of
whom for want of an effective remedy,
will suffer from this disease the rest of
their lives.
Is there anything that can be done to
prevent all this?
In the first place, Peruna used at the
proper time will prevent taking cold.
In the second place, Peruna will cure a
cold in from two to five days.
Again, Peruna will cure catarrh quick
ly in the first stages, and finally Peruna
will also cure chronic catarrh, if used
properly and persistently.
Peruna kept in the house and prop
erIy used will therefore not only act as
q safeguard against the ailments which
result from sudden cold waves, but
will also prove a sure remedy for this
class of ailments.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
