The Second Annual Meeting of the Niagara Movement The Republican Party Scored for Failing to Enforce the 14th Amendment-A Ringing Address Issued to the Country In Which It Is Urged That the Ballot Must Be Restored to the Afro-Americans-Women Admitted Into the Movement. Vol. XI The Second Niagara The Republican force the 14th A Issued to the That the B the Afro-A ted The Niagara Movement convened at Harper's Ferry, West Va., the past week and its sessions were well attended, some of the most prominent men and women of the race being present. One of the speakers in addressing those who were under the sound of his voice, declared that "God had sent John Brown to Harper's Ferry to become a traitor to the government in order that he might be true to the slave." This same speaker in referring to the political status of the Negro in certain sections of this country, exclaimed: "The present occupant of the white house has been absolutely silent on the question of the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment; while his secretary of war has admitted the violation of the constitution, he has recently in a notable address openly condoned if not tacitly indorsed it, Secretary Taft, speaking for the president, chides us by saying that the Negroes are political children; that they have shown their incapacity to maintain their political rights." "It is true that the Negro had a childlike faith in the Republican party, believing that it would administer the sacred trust which the fortunes of war and the constitution had imposed upon it and that it would not use him like a gambler's stake in the game of politics." "Thank God, at last the scales are falling from the Negro's eyes. He is being disillusioned by the acts of a republican congress, the speeches of members of a Republican cabinet and the silence of a Republican president. He should not hesitate to repudiate his former friends who have betrayed him nor refuse to fraternize with former enemies who are willing to give him aid. While he remains a political issue he must insist upon making his power felt and his rights respected." Other speakers gave expression to the same sentiments, and on winding up its sessions Sunday, the following address was issued to the world, which plainly reminds the so-called Christians belonging to the opposite race in the United States, who profess to have the love of their handmade God encircled in their hearts, and who claim to be the only true followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, that they have in the past and are at the present time falling far short in dealing half-way justly with those composing the Afro-American race. "The men of the Niagara movement coming from the toll of the year's hard work and pausing a moment from the earning of their daily bread turn toward the nation and again ask in the name of ten million the privilege of a hearing. In the past year the work of the Negro hater has flourished in the land. Step by step the defenders of the rights of American citizens have retreated. The work of stealing the black man's ballot has progressed and the fifty and more representatives of stolen votes still sit in the nation's capital. Discrimination in travel and public accommodation has so spread that some of our At Harper's Ferry, West Virginia in Party Scored for Amendment—A Rink in the Country In Which the Ballot Must Be Ree-Americans—Women d Into the Movement "Against this the Niagara Movement eternally protests. We will not be satisfied to take one jot or tittle less than our full manhood rights. We claim for ourselves every single right that belongs to a freeborn American, political, civil and social; and until we get these rights we will never cease to protest and assail the ears of America. The battle we wage is not for ourselves alone but for all true Americans. It is a fight for ideals, lest this, our common fatherland, false to its founding, become in truth the land of the thief and the home of the Slave—a by-word and a hissing among the nations for its sounding pretentions and pitiful accomplishment. Never before in the modern age has a great and civilized folk threatened to adopt so cowardly a creed in the treatment of its fellow-citizens born and bred on its soil. Stripped of verbage and subterfuge and in its naked nastiness the new American creed says: Fear to let Black men even try to rise lest they become the equals of the white. And this is the land that professes to follow Jesus Christ. The blasphemy of such a course is only matched by its cowardice. "In detail our demands are clear and unequivocal. First, we would vote; with the right to vote goes everything: Freedom, manhood, the honor of your wives, the chastity of your daughters, the right to work, and the chance to rise, and let no man listen to those who deny this. "We want full manhood suffrage, and we want it now, henceforth and forever. "Second. We want discrimination in public accommodation to cease. Separation in railway and street cars, based simply on race and color, is unAmerican, undemocratic, and silly. We protest against all such discrimination. "Third. We claim the right of freemen to walk, talk, and be with them that wish to be with us. No man has a right to choose another man's friends, and to attempt to do so is an impudent interference with the most fundamental human privilege. "Fourth. We want the laws enforced against rich as well as poor; against Capitalist as well as Laborer; against white as well as Black. We are not more lawless than the white race, we are more often arrested, convicted and mobbed. We want justice even for criminals and outlaws. We want Congress to take charge of Congressional elections. We want the Fourteenth amendment carried out to the letter and every State disfranchised in Congress which attempts to disfranchise its rightful voters. We want the Fifteenth amendment enforced and No State allowed to base its franchise simply on Color. "The failure of the Republican party in Congress at the session just closed to redeem its pledge of 1904 with reference to suffrage conditions at the South seems a plain, deliberate, CHICAGO, AUGUST 25, 1906 and premeditated breach of promise, and stamps that party as guilty of obtaining votes under false pretense. "Fifth. We want our children educated. The school system in the country districts of the South is a disgrace and in a few towns and cities are the Negro schools what they ought to be. We want the national government to step in and wipe out illiteracy in the South. Either the United States will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States. "And when we call for education we mean real education. We believe in work. We ourselves are workers, but work is not necessarily education. Education is the development of power and ideal. We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate Black boys and girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire. "These are some of the chief things which we want. How shall we get them? By voting where we may vote, by persistent, unceasing agitation; by hammering at the truth, by sacrifice and work. "We do not believe in violence, neither in the despised violence of the raid nor the lauded violence of the soldier, nor the barbarous violence of the mob, but we do believe in John Brown, in that incarnate spirit of justice, that hatred of a lie, that willingness to sacrifice money, reputation, and life itself on the altar of right. And here on the scene of John Brown's martyrdom we reconstrate ourselves, our honor, our property to the final emancipation of the race which John Brown died to make free. Our enemies, triumphant for the present, are fighting the stars in their courses. Justice and humanity must prevail. We live to tell these dark brothers of ours—scattered in counsel, wavering and weak—that no bribe of money or notoriously, no promise of wealth or fame, is worth the surrender of a people's manhood or the loss of a man's self-respect. We refuse to surrender the leadership of this race to cowards and trucklers. We are men; we will be treated as men. On this rock we have planted our banners. We will never give up, though the trump of doom find us still fighting. "And we shall win. The past promised it, the present foretells it. Thank God for John Brown! Thank God for Garrison and Douglass! Sumner and Phillips, Nat Turner and Robert Gould Shaw, and all the hallowed dead who died for freedom! Thank God for all those to-day, few though their voices be, who have not forgotten the divine brotherhood of all mon white and Black, rich and poor, fortunate and unfortunate. "We appeal to the young men and women of this nation to those whose nostrils are not yet befouled by greed and snobbery and racial narrowness: Stand up for the right, prove yourselves worthy of your heritage and whether born north or south dare to treat men as men. Cannot the nation that has absorbed ten million foreigners into its political life without catastrophe absorb ten million Negro Americans into that same political life at less cost than their unjust and illegal exclusion will involve? "Courage brothers! The battle for humanity is not lost or losing. All across the skies sit signs of promise. The Slave is raising in his might, the yellow millions are tasting liberty the black Africans are writhing toward the light, and everywhere the laborer, with ballot in his hand, is voting open the gates of Opportunity and Peace. The morning breaks over blood-stained hills. We must not falter, we may not shrink. Above are the everlasting stars. "Harper's Ferry, W. Va., August 16-19, 1906." The above address is full of the right sentiments, and what the Negro must first refrain from doing, and that is to absolutely become or to remain the cringing and servile slave of any political party. Then let the Negroes in all sections of this country band themselves together as one man, and be willing to make every kind of sacrifice, either in time or money for the purpose of assisting to restore the ballot to those who have been deprived of it under one pretext or another in most of the Southern states. For without the ballot in the hands of the Negro to protect his civil and political rights he will continue to be looked upon with scorn and contempt by the governor of the State wherein he resides, Congressmen and all other city and county officials including the policeman on his beat on up to the President of the United States, and all of the wealth the Negro may accumulate is nothing in comparison to the ballot or the right to vote, for with all of his wealth and without it, those who make laws to govern him without his consent, and those who rule over him as though he was still a slave and not a freeman, will continue to laugh and mock at him. Therefore, if the United States was justified in waging a war against Spain to compel it to remove its iron heel of oppression from the necks of the Cubans, the leaders of the Afro-American race would be perfectly justified in enlisting the aid and sympathy of Japan or some other strong foreign power to wage an unrelentless warfare upon this nation for the sole purpose of compelling it to freely permit the Negro to enjoy his civil and political rights! JULIUS F. TAYLOR AND WILLIAM H. CLARK INDUCED MAYOR EDWARD F. DUNNE TO SELECT A COLORED MAN AS A MEMBER OF THE NEW CHARTER COMMITTEE. On or about the middle of last November Edward H. Wright, Col. Edward H. Morris, Robert Lincoln Taylor, and a few other Colored men called on Mayor Dunne, with a view of inducing him to appoint Dr. Allen A. Wesley as a member of the New City Charter Committee. The morning following the visit of these distinguished gentlemen to Mayor Dunne, Julius F. Taylor and William H. Clark called on his Honor for the purpose of inducing him to select a nameless Colored man as a member of the New Charter Committee, and when his name was mentioned, Mayor Dunne declared he "had never heard of him," and when Mr. Clark and the writer assured him that this nameless Colored man had delivered several speeches for him, and had worked for his election as Mayor of Chicago, on receiving that information, and after being warmly urged by Julius F. Taylor to select him, Mayor Dunne then and there entered his name in his little red book, and this nameless Colored man was chosen to represent the Afro-Americans residing in Chicago, on the Charter Committee. Then after Mr. Clark, and ourselves, had succeeded in having this great honor conferred upon him, we ran his cut in the columns of The Broad Ax, and praised him up as being one of the best writers and race-loving men in this country, which is evident that THE LADY OF THE ROOM MRS.

Fairbanks, Governor A. L. Harris and Booker T. Washington. The exercises will begin with a review of the Ninth Battalion, the Colored troops of the Ohio National Guard, by the Governor of the State and other distinguished visitors. P. W. Chavers, editor of the Columbus Standard, the General Director of the Exposition, and George W. Hays, President of the Board of Manage:s, will make short addresses on the opening day, outlining the purposes of the Exposition and giving its history. Other addresses will be delivered during the week, on Sunday, August 26th, Woman's Day; Monday, August 27th, Business Men's Day; Tuesday, August 28th, Educational Day; August 29th, Ohio Day; August 30th, Military Day; August 31st, Field Day. Among the speakers will be Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, Atlanta University; President Joshua H. Jones, Wilberforce University; Prof. J. W. Gilbert, Paine College, Augusta, Ga.; Senator J. B. Foraker, Mayor Badger of Columbus, Congressman Nicholas Longworth, Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Carrie Cifford, Cleveland, O.; Mrs. Hattie Hall-King, Columbus, O.; Horace D. Slatter and others. One of the principal features of the Exposition will be the exhibits of various articles of manufacture, art and handicraft produced by the Colored people of the State of Ohio. The famous Norwood Dog Kennells will have on exhibition about thirty dogs, all pedigree stock, some having taken first prizes at various State fairs; exhibits from a Colored buggy manufacturing company, a bicycle and motor cycle manufacturing plant, work produced by the only Colored gold melter in the world, plows, fancy work and various other classes of exhibits will be shown. The movement will be made permanent, an opportunity being given the ```markdown ``` Wake Afro-American Business Woman Four years Has Successfully and Manicure Parlors at Street. prominent Colored people from all over the State to participate.—Horace D. Slatter, General Newspaper Corres- pondent. It seems to be the proper thing for President Roosevelt's Cabinet Officers to deliver themselves upon the Negro's status. First came Mr. Root's famous Union League speech declaring that Reconstruction legislation—Negro citizenship and the amendments to the constitution enforcing and protecting the same, were failures. When Mr. Root thus delivered himself the entire country asked if he was speaking his sentients or those of his chief. When Mr. Taft went before the lily-white Republican state convention of N. C., and told the white men of the South, that there was no longer any excuse for the cry of Negro domination for the Republican Party neither judicially nor legislatively was going to interfere with the question of Southern Disfranchisement — again, the same question is this the sentiment of Secretary Taft or is he speaking the sentiments of the President? When Mr. Bonaparte, Secretary of the Navy, gently lambasted the Negrc before the Young People's Christian and Educational Congress at Washington, a few days back, on account of his sloth and profligacy, when he told his audience how the Indian had been pushed to the wall and crushed against it, and warned the Negro that a like fate awaited him—again the question arose—is this Bonaparte's or Roosevelt's sentiments? May be, by the time each one of the Cabinet Officers has had his shy at the Negro, the Negro may awake and set about doing something to recover his citizenship and to prevent his being crushed out of existence against the white man's wall of prejudice and race hate.—The St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va. Last Saturday morning Editor and Mrs. J. L. Thompson and their beautiful little daughter Miss Enola, Des Moines, Iowa, who returned to their home Monday morning after a more than delightful visit with their friends in this city, called on the editor and Mrs. Taylor. Miss Enola is just as bright and as sweet as she can be, and Mrs. Thompson is a charming lady to meet, and Editor Thompson, who is one of our oldest and warmest friends in the newspaper world, is a race man to the backbone.

A Special Announcement WASHINGTON LETTER [Special Correspondence.] The development of new suburbs on the highlands south of the Potomac has been accompanied by a largely increased demand for pure water for drinking and household supplies. As these settlements are situated on the hillsides far above streams and springs, it might be thought that it would be difficult to obtain a good supply of water. Messrs. M. L. Fuller and Samuel Sanford of the United States geological survey recently visited the region and ascertained that in most instances water can be found at a depth of from twenty-five to forty feet beneath the surface. Danger In Surface Water. Although water is present in large quantity, it occurs in such a way that only small supplies are usually obtained by shallow drilled wells. Open wells, however, obtain abundant supplies and if properly protected from contamination should answer every purpose. Such wells should never be located within 100 feet of outhouses or cesspools and when possible should be 150 feet or more away. If these wells are curbed with two and seven-eighths or three foot glazed tiles and every joint except the lowest is made perfectly tight the polluted surface water will be kept out, while the water actually used can enter at the bottom. The joints can be made tight by surrounding the outside of the pipe at the joints with several inches of good hydraulic cement. Depth of Wells. In the granite rocks conditions are fairly promising for deep drilled wells. These will usually find water within 150 feet of the surface, even on the hills, but a well should not be abandoned before a depth of 250 feet is reached. It is not generally advisable, however, to go deeper than this. The investigation which the geological survey has just begun will be extended to include the water supplies of the entire coastal plain of Virginia. Patent Models. A committee representing the Patent Bar association recently called upon the assistant commissioner of patents, Edward B. Moore, and advocated the retention of all or most of the collection of patent models which it is proposed to dispose of under an act of congress. The wide circulation given the report that the patent office had taken steps to get rid of this vast and interesting collection has aroused patent attorneys and inventors all over the country. In view of these circumstances, it is said, the plans of the secretary of the interior may be changed in this regard. Collection May Be Kept. The committee appointed by Mr. Moore to go over the models and select those which are an essential part of patent office records advised that only a very small percentage of the number be kept. It has been stated on good authority that the Union Building company, from which Uncle Sam rents the storage space for the models in the Union building, has agreed to reduce the rent from $19,500 a year to $10,000, which is the amount of the appropriation by congress for caring for the models it may be decided to keep. If this is so, the whole collection may be retained. The Keep Commission. Assistant Secretary Keep, who is the chairman of the departmental commission that is busy seeking to better conditions and methods in the government service, thinks it will take a good many months before his commission finishes its work and hands in its final report to the president. Probably the most important committee now at work is that handling the question of the purchase of supplies by the departments. It was the random, unsympathetic purchasing of supplies by the departments that led the president to appoint the Keep commission. It is probable that the subcommittee will recommend a central purchasing agency, through which every department of the government will buy. Spanish War Veterans. The national encampment committee predicts that the national assemblage of Spanish war veterans, the ladies' auxiliaries and their relatives and friends in this city next October will be the largest ever held. Tentative arrangements have been made for a big parade to include Spanish war veterans, the national guard, regular troops, sailors, marines and the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, Union Veterans' legion and other patriotic and civic organizations. Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte will be requested to order two or more gunboats or other small war vessels to Washington at that time that they may be inspected as object lessons by the visiting veterans and the many strangers that are expected. New Light Artillery Corps. General interest is manifested in military circles in regard to the new light artillery corps of the United States army. The new corps consists of 46 commissioned officers, 46 sergeants, 92 corporals and 728 privates, having 92 Wicker's Sons & Maxim automatic machine guns and 150 horses and 810 mules. This corps is formed from the existing forces and will be divided among the cavalry and infantry regiments so that each regiment will have its machine gun platoon, commanded by a commissioned officer and provided with two machine guns of the type indicated. These guns, popularly known as "screw guns," are capable of a fire of practically 600 shots a minute. The gun platoon, armed with two machine guns, will be able to discharge at the enemy a shower of projectiles equal to the entire firing capacity of all the rest of the regiment. WOMAN AND FASHION For a Wee Girl. Simple little frocks, such as this one, are the best of all for the wee tots. They are charming and altogether attractive in effect, while they hang from the shoulders, so leaving the active young bodies unhampered. This one is made of white Persian lawn, with a frill and banding of embroidery, and is A DAINTY LITTLE FROCK. worn with the washable hats that are so deservedly popular. The little dress is tucked at its upper edge and joined to the scalloped yoke and can be made either with the short or the long bishop sleeves. Lace Gloves the Fashion Lace gloves will be one of the novelties of the fall and winter season. Every fashionable woman will affect them. The largest supply comes from Germany. The gloves are wonderfully fine and of pure silk. They will not be comfortable wear, but who cares for comfort as against a decree of fashion? Lace is not strictly a glove material, but its defect in this respect has been overcome by the insertion of small strips of elastic at all the points where pliability is needed most. These strips are wrought in beautifully and can hardly be distinguished from the lace itself. In the back of the hand the elastic is made to look like threading, but in no degree of quality does the elastic make the glove as easy to the hand as kid. Hint About Waist. A clever way of making the waist seem smaller and the figure more slender is shown in the newest shapes of corsets and waists, so cut that there is as much curve in as possible directly at the back and sides. When this is successfully accomplished the number of inches required in the belt is not so noticeable, and just as a round waist looks much the smallest, so this curved in line at the back and sides breaks the line of the belt in more becoming fashion. Fashionable Wrap. The summer coats have been so exquisitely designed and made of such fascinating materials it would seem that there could be nothing more introduced in this line that would be prettier than those which have gone before. This model, however, has some novel beauty points that earn it instant attention. It is a dark gray cloth coat, the effective lining of dark ```markdown ``` NOVEL LONG COAT. blue china silk, with green centered white rings fastening it. The hood fastens to the coat with a band of plain green silk decorated with buttons, while the straps are made of green silk. Green In Favor. In striking contrast to the many subdued tones and mixtures which have of late been popular are some of the new greens, which give the relief note to many sober hued garments in the form of belts and bordering. Some of the shades are a little trying, however. Apple green is charming, but demands a clear, fair skin. The pastel greens, too, are lovely, while among fawns is a new shade of exquisite delicacy which the French have christened "otale blonde." CHOICE MISCELLANY The Ether Is Cold and Dark. In 1882 there was a total eclipse. The observers saw a comet within a million miles of the sun. Now, the light which emanates from the tail of a comet is less than that of a star of the ninth magnitude. Therefore we know by actual experiment that the immediate neighborhood of the sun was devoid of luminosity. A few days ago a balloon carried a barometer and thermometer 42,000 feet above the earth. This is about one eleven-million part of the distance as commonly given which separates us from the source of light and heat. The temperature was 148 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. Is it possible to imagine a more conclusive demonstration that although the sun is, with the reciprocal action of the earth, the cause of terrestrial light and heat, both these manifestations of force are local? The photospheric diameter of the sun is obviously little larger than the orb itself, and that of the earth is probably not 200 miles greater than its axis. If the light and heat of the earth were due to radium in the sun, why is the ether cold and dark?—Cope Whitehouse in New York Times. Cooly Derricks In Japan. Steam derricks and the methods used in building steel skyscrapers are as yet unknown in Peking. A correspondent writes from that city: "Fifteen of the high poles used for the inner pagoda at the Chen Men have been placed in an upright position during the last ten days. To tell how these poles are raised is a little difficult, owing to the enormous number of ropes employed. From what I could see, the pole was lashed round with a very large hempen rope, the end of which was carried up to the top of the scaffolding and there attached to a pole, and this pole was attached to numerous smaller poles, at the ends of which were tied small ropes. The small ropes came to the ground and were manned by about 200 to 300 coolles, who at the word of command began pulling and jerking. There did not seem to be much exertion on the part of each cooly, but collectively there was considerable raising power in this primitive lever. It did not take more than three-quarters of an hour to see the large pole 100 feet long, with a six foot diameter, put into place." Millionaires and Cape to Cairo. Mr. Belt's bequest of a million and a quarter for the construction of the Cape to Cairo railway recalls the fact that the late Cecil Rhodes was once considered a crank. The story was told not long ago by an old member of the Cape parliament at a meeting at the Royal Colonial Institute. When Mr. Rhodes made his first appearance in the Cape parliament he could talk of nothing but his great idea of a transcontinental railway, and with the aid of a specially prepared map he sought to interest his fellow members in the colossal scheme. Most of them thought him a bore, and some openly called him a crank. His dream is now materializing. Many of us can remember when Wagner was considered a crank also, and when his music was a stock subject of ridicule in Punch. A crank is a man ahead of his age.—London Chronicle. Flies Never Grow.

It is really a jouncing, bouncing, skidding thing of horror. Narrow and high, with crowded roof seats, it is a wonder the thing does not tip over every time it makes a turn.

Riding on an Ellipse. In Brookside park, Cleveland, a concrete bridge has just been opened to traffic which is said to possess some novel features. It is believed to be the flattest semilipse of concrete ever constructed without a heavy re-enforcement of steel. Its elliptical form is perfect, with a major axis of ninety-two feet and a semiminor axis of only nine feet. In other words, the rise of the arch is less than one-tenth of the span. Dog as Friend and Food. The Germans love the dog. They look after his health; they provide him bathing establishments furnished with every modern comfort—hot and cold water, vapor douches, friction; they appreciate his character, his fidelity, his frankness, and they regard him as food; they like him as a friend and as victuals. In Prussia alone in one quarter 520 dogs were recently killed for food. What's In a Namet That there is more in names than Juliet in her haste and passion would allow is shown in a little town on Cape Cod, where the local lumber dealer is named Lumbert, the milkman is Mr. Waterman, the fish merchant is Mr. Phinney, the minister is Mr. Paradise and the provision dealer is Mr. Bacon. His Candidate. District Attorney Jerome tells of a certain citizen whom he encountered on the last presidential election day. Conversation was somewhat hampered by the fact that the citizen's vocabulary was limited to about eighty-five words. "Who" and "what" were evidently one to him as yet, but he made himself clear on one point. "How long have you been in this country?" he was asked. "Ah bane one month," he answered. "Are you going to vote?" "Yah." "Whom are you gong to vote for?" "Ah bane goin' vote for tan dollars," was the self satisfied response.—Harper's Weekly. Capital Punishment. "Wealth!" he sobbed. "Nothing but wealth, and yet I know it is a sin to die rich. Would that I could get rid of it." Just then another million descended upon his bead. It was too much, and the poor multimillionaire passed away. "Ah," remarked the multitude when they read the papers, "he died of capital punishment"—Detroit Tribune.

Marcy Kline (Inc.), 300 State St., Chicago BREVITIES THE HALL OF FAME. The Duke of Wellington is, by inheritance, a grandee of Spain. Winston Churchill, the young English statesman, is said to be one of the most eccentric of persons. Mayor Ekers of Montreal is addressed personally as "your worship," and in the third person as "his worship." Dr. Walter Volz, lecturer on zoology in the University of Berne, will head an exploring party that is to be sent into the practically unknown hinterland of Liberia. Senator Benson, the successor to Senator Burton of Kansas, was one of the three lawyers in the state senate in 1881 who framed the first prohibition law the state ever had. The queen of Spain is to have a doctor of her own. He will have a salary of $4,000 a year, an allowance for rent, $5 for each visit to the queen and the right to a private practice. Ex-Senator Chandler was asked by a young woman, "Don't you enjoy going into the country in your automobile?" "Yes," answered Mr. Chandler, "but the pleasure is nothing compared with the satisfaction of getting home safely." Miss Alice de-Rothschild, a sister of the late Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, has a collection of Hindoo bulls and zebras and llamas. She is also interested in cattle breeding and owns a large number of exceptionally fine carriage horses. Patti, of all the vocalists in the world, stands alone in earning ability. Her marvelous voice, aided by histrionic ability of high order, has frequently brought her $5,000 a night. Next to her stood and probably still stands Jean de Reszke. Viscount Aoki, the new Japanese ambassador at Washington, has as his constant companion in his home a great maltese cat. Mr. Aoki never receives a guest without presenting him to Peter, who sits on a settee near the diplomat's chair. Brunswick, Me., loses a landmark in the retirement from business of Charles L. York, who has run a barber shop in the town for forty-four years and who in that long period has shaved most of the famous men of the town and of Bowdoin college. MODES OF THE MOMENT. Embroideries and braidings are widely in vogue, and the designs grow more and more elaborate. Colored silk gloves seem to have lost their prestige, tan, white and black seeming to find more favor. The colored linens which are much in vogue show embroideries picked out with seven or eight shades of silk of the gown color. Those who follow the French fashions closely are having their early fall costumes made with basques, the waist line being just as high up as it is possible to make it. Exquisite frocks are fashioned out of handkerchief linen, which may be had so fine as to resemble batiste and is more satisfactory except for the most elaborate occasions, as it has more body and therefore does not become so easily crushed.—New York Post. CLEANING AGENTS Hot vinegar will remove paint from cotton fabrics. Spirits of hartshorn applied to acid spots in cotton or wool will remove them. Use vaseline to clean and preserve the shoes, applying with a soft woolen cloth. Rub magnesla well into an ordinary stain and allow it to remain for two days if possible. Brush away and the stain will have disappeared. A solution of equal parts of ammonla and spirits of turpentine will prove effectual in loosening dry or hardened paint in any fabric. One part alcohol and three parts water is a good solution for use in freshening black goods. Sponge the material on the right side and press on the wrong side while damp. JEWELRY JOTTINGS. A necklace of uncut stones is one of the latest ideas. A gold hunting horn, winding once around an oval ball, is a peculiar and original design in scarpins. A fancy ring top shows an open design outlined in diamond scrollwork and enclosing a fine, round pearl. Pendant brooches are a pleasing variation on the usual styles, some being extremely ornate, with pendants varying in size. Diamond tiaras and diamond topped back combs are sometimes pointed with clusters alone or in alternation with the single diamond points. Jeweler's Circular-Weekly. PITH AND POINT. It is foolish for a man to kick himself when he's down. Gooseps might be appropriately termed misfortune tellers. The school of experience is open twenty-four hours each day. Some people pray as if they thought the Lord needed their adryce. Don't expect to tower above your neighbors by standing on your dignity. When a man combines business with pleasure business usually gets the short end of it.-Chicago News. 14 PLAYS AND PLAYERS. Consueio Bailey, a newcomer to the stage, will be leading woman in an eastern melodrama this fall. Irving S. Finn, a singer and composer, who just closed a successful season with Klaw & Erlanger's "Ben Hur" company, has been engaged for opera work for next season. Frank B. Hatch, who for a number of seasons has been William A. Brady's general stage manager, has been engaged in that capacity by the Shuberts for the nonmusical productions. Henry B. Harris has decided on Sept. 16 and Hartford, Conn., as the time and place for the initial production of Charles Klein's new play, "The Daughters of Men." On Sept. 23 it will begin an engagement at the Colonial theater in Boston. The new Astor theater in New York will be opened Aug. 30 by Wengahls & Kemper. William Grenoble, the authority on Grecian architecture, was brought from London to make final suggestions on decorations. The house will be opened by Miss Annie Russell. Arnold Daly has secured the American rights of Cosmo Hamilton's new one act play, "Gran'father Coquesne." The scene is laid on the banks of the Meuse during the Franco-Prussian war. Grandfather Coquesne, cobbler, was once a sergeant in Napoleon's guard. SHORT STORIES. In Mohammedan countries women are not admitted beyond the doorways of mosques. Only about one person in a hundred lives to the age of sixty-five, one-half dying before reaching the age of sixteen. With the exception of food, the fibrous plants of field and forest furnish all the necessities of life for the Fillipino. Bolivia's population is given as 1,800,000. About one-half of these people are native Indians, and only some 12 per cent are classed as whites. The latest theory regarding seasickness is that of a doctor on a German steamer who believes it is caused by the irritation of the brain due to its pressing against various parts of the skull following the motions of the ship. Congressman Garnier of Texas represents the greatest goat raising region in the world. There are more than 300,000 "Nannies" and "Billies" in the twenty-two counties composing his district. Uvalde county alone has 80,000. ENGLISH ETCHINGS. There are seventy-seven distinct dialects spoken in England. A constable who arrested four men on a country road in England the other day for gambling told the magistrate the men played cards as they walked along, stopping to deal. The will of John Crowle, a well known merchant of London, gives $1., 250,000 for the promotion of temperance in England under the direction of the Wesleyan Methodist conference. A woman at Keighley, England, summoned for not sending her boy to school, explained to the bench that when she attempted to chastise him for not going he threatened to report her to the cruelty inspector. The education committee of the London county council has been revising the list of prize books given to pupils. Among the books struck out as "not quite suitable for children to read" are "Vanity Fair," "Dombey and Son," "Pendennis" and "Great Expectations." EDITORIAL FLINGS.

Now that appendicitis has become so common the wealthy are taking more and more to the fashion of getting hurt in automobile accidents.-Chicago News. A New York court has decided that theater managers can keep people from going to the theater just because they want to. Judging from the shows, they want to.-Detroit Free Press. Since several railroad companies have been heavily fined of late for giving rebates the question naturally suggests itself, "What use will the courts make of this tainted money?"—Kansas City Star. FACTS FROM FRANCE. In France it is illegal to capture frogs at night. The labor troubles in France have resulted in a greater concentration of business in certain lines to the large firms. Among the members of the French parliament there are 119 lawyers, 46 physicians, 29 journalists, 26 teachers, 11 authors and 9 apothecaries. The Paris jehu, not noted for the mercy he shows his horse, is of the opinion that the sunbonnet is too hot for the beast. Therefore some of the drivers have provided their animals with parasols strapped to their heads. Dr. Colmette, head physician of the Pasture institute at Lille, France, has recently declared that even sterilization by heat of the milk from tuberculous cows does not render it safe to drink. In his opinion the only safety lies in a rigorous inspection of dairies. HOW JAPAN IS GOVERNED. An Impressive View of Her Quiet, Self Contained Statesmen. Sit in the gallery of the lower house of the Japanese national parliament and observe thence the new force that civilization and education have loosed won the rest of the world. The chamber is about as large as the house of representatives at Washington, comfortable, convenient and planned for business. The members sit at desks facing the speaker's high dals midway of the long side of the room. Ten or twelve members wear the almost obsolete native costume; the others are garbed like Europeans. You will notice first of all that these men do not sleep, like members of the British house, or read or write or transact at the desks their private business, like the representatives at Washington. They listen to every word of every speech. They are liberal of applause and dissent. Everything that is said seems to mean something to them. There are no long, dreary harangues and no permission to print in the Record. Members that address the house mount a rostrum just below and in front of the presiding officer. Their speeches are short, sharp, direct and full of point. Often they are witty and very often eloquent, but never are they entered for endurance prize. You observe the faces' intent upon the speakers, the lines of long, strong, square jawed, brown faces, and it startles you to reflect that the powerful, indomitable nation of which this grave deliberative assembly is the symbol has been created in fifty years from the least promising of materials; that in fifteen years it has been lifted to the front ranks among peoples; that all the world has been amazed by its performances. And then you will suddenly perceive that in your eyes every face before you is an impenetrable mask. From each you receive a definite impression of power—quiet, self sufficing, conscious power—but beyond this nothing. All you can see are eyes, nose, mouth and the blank stone wall of an expression from which no amount of scrutiny will enable you to draw a hint of the trouble within—Everybody's Magazine. Extension Table of Rare Sort. Something original in the way of a dining room table has been made by a skillful cabinetmaker for Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney's home in Newport. In its first form it is a perfectly plain round table, six feet in diameter, made of the finest and most beautifully grained mahogany, with simply carved legs. Belonging to it are a series of pieces of the mahogany, the shape of eight sections of ple, with the point cut off in a curved line. They are matched so beautifully that a series may be added to the table, making it ten feet in diameter, without any one not acquainted with its mysteries knowing it was not made in one piece. Still another series of pieces to be added in the same way make the table fourteen feet in diameter. The legs are arranged so that their tops unfold and extend to support the added pieces. —New York Press. American Yarns In Paris. Parisian correspondents have been listening to some queer yarns told by members of Sarah Bernhardt's company after their return from the United States. One gentleman declared that on the banks of the Mississippi he saw a child riding an alligator. In place of a whip the infant had a long stick with a piece of meat at the end of it, which he held just in front of the alligator's smile to induce him to hurry. At Chattanooga the inhabitants offered to lynch a colored citizen if Sarah and her troupe would wait and see it done. At San Francisco one of the troupe had a long talk with a young woman who had been living on the top floor of a hotel when the earthquake occurred. The earth opened and swallowed up all the hotel except the chimneys, and it was through the chimney of her room that the young woman escaped. The Old Santa Fe Trail. The old Santa Fe trail is to be marked this summer. The school children of Kansas have contributed nearly $3,700 to buy markers for the route. The trail dates from 1540, but was chiefly used in the building up of the southwest. The distance from Kansas City to Santa Fe was 800 miles, and a round trip consumed about 110 days. Day and night in all seasons the caravans pushed their way. In spite of strong military escort the trail was blood soaked for many years and was marked by hundreds of graves of the victims of the murderous Apaches and other tribes. Nearly every mile of the trail has had its ambush, its surprise, its attack and torture. The last wagons were sent out in 1865. Since then the trail has been a memory. Cautious Senator Platt. Senator Platt of New York was asked to write his personal reminiscences of politics for the last half century. "Would you want me to write this history as I know it to be or as somebody else might imagine it to be?" he said. The reply came, "I want the exact truth." To this Platt answered: "My young friend, come around about twenty-five years after I am dead. It might be safe and proper to do it then, but not now—by all means, not now." Breaderumb Modeling France's government has bought for the Luxembourg gallery an apple tree in bloom fashioned by Mile. Suzanne Meyer out of soaked breadcrumbs. Mile. Meyer has cultivated the art of breadcrumb modeling for three years. She soaks the crumbs in liquids of various colors and then works with the paste from a palette. She has invented a process for making the crumbs elastic and virtually unbreakable. J. A. O'Donnell, H. D. Coghlin, O'Donnell & Coghlin Attorneys at Law Phone 264 Main Metropolitan Block N. W. Cor.
