The Broad Ax

EXTRA THE BROAD AX EXTRA Rev. J. R. Harvey, for Four Years the Up-to-Date Pastor of St. Mary's African Methodist Episcopal Church, Fifty-Third and South Dearborn Streets Has Resigned and Severed His Connection With the A. M. E. Church. HE HAS ESTABLISHED THE COSMOPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF THE PEOPLES CHURCH AT THE FARREN SCHOOL HOUSE, FIFTY-FIRST STREET AND SOUTH WABASH AVENUE. HE WILL HOLD HIS FIRST MEETING THERE SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30TH. REV. HARVEY, WHO HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE ONE OF THE MOST UPRIGHT A. M. E. PREACHERS IN THIS CITY, WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF PERMITTING BISHOP ARCHIBALD JAMES CAREY AND HIS BOSOM PAL, COL. OSCAR DE PRIEST, TO TRANSFORM HIS CHURCH INTO A DEMOCRATIC MEETING HOUSE AT THE LAST ELECTION IN THIS CITY. The annual conference of this the Fourth African Methodist Episcopal District, has come and gone or passed on into history and it has left a long, very bad taste in the mouths of many of the followers of the sainted Henry Allen, the founder and the father of the A. M. E. Church. One of the many important things which caused a heavy gloom to fall over the brethren and the sisters that after more than sixteen thousand dollars had been collected in during the annual conference ten thousand dollars of that vast sum being "Dollar Money" and the rest in odds and ends and after the big preachers and others running the conference continued to nibble and nibble at the big pile of money, there was only sixteen dollars in sight or left to pay the current bills and it is feared that some of the bills will go unpaid until the next annual conference. That is the slip-shod way that some of the A. M. E. brethren transact business for their Lord and Master. It seems that Bishop L. J. Coppin, who attempts to preside over the Fourth Episcopal District, is nothing more than so much soft clay in the hands of its real Bishop, Bishop Archibald James Carey, the greatest political slight-of-hand trickster in the United States. For it seems that when the time had arrived to elect delegates to the general conference, which meets in Louisville, Ky., in May, 1924, Bishop Carey, who always wants to be the whole show or fireworks, presided over the meeting instead of Bishop Coppin, although Bishop Carey does not belong in this district, but has the brass nerve to attempt to run Bishop Coppin's district and his own district at one and the same time. It is further contended that Bishop Carey and his henchmen had the names of the nine delegates whom they wanted to go to the general conference printed in the form of ballots the night before it was time to vote for them, and if any preacher attending the conference attempted to vote for any one for delegate who was not on the regular slate they were forever damned in the estimation of Archibald James Carey, the political Bishop of the great A. M. E. Church. Shortly after the close of the conference everybody was greatly surprised to learn that the Rev. J. R. Harvey, who had been the honest and faithful pastor of St. Mary's A. M. E. Church, had completely kicked over the traces and had severed his connection with the great A. M. E. Church which he had served for so many years. Rev. Harvey notified Bishop Coppin of his actions and last Sunday morning Bishop Coppin and Presiding Elder James M. Henderson stalked into the church and they both strongly endeavored to throw a whole barrel of oil on the troubled waters. They both had smooth sailing at the morning services but at the evening meeting Presiding Elder Henderson attempted to resort to some rough stuff or bulldozing which caused its members to hiss him and after Rev. Harvey urged them to sit quietly and conduct themselves like true Christian men and women and finally order was restored by Rev. Harvey. In winding up the meeting Rev. Harvey very plainly set forth his reasons for withdrawing from the church of his boyhood and manhood days, among his many reasons that he had grown tired of so much rascality, corruption and rottenness in the administration of the affairs of the church which was so near and dear to his heart, that he always, had been bitterly opposed to holding political meetings in his church; that at the city elections the past spring that Bishop Archibald James Carey urged him to hold a Dever Meeting there and that fifty dollars would be contributed to St. Mary's Church, if the Democratic meeting could be held there; that Greater Bethel Church received one hundred dollars for renting the church to the Democrats; that he did not think it morally right for Bishop Coppin to broadcast it all over Chicago that the members of St. Mary's church and their pastor had transformed themselves into wild-eyed Democrats without consulting him in that respect. That after he had absolutely refused to permit Bishop Carey and his bosom pal Co, Oscar De Priest and their crowd of rip-roaring Democrats to hold a political meeting in his church; that Bishop Carey requested him to let him come to his church the (Continued on Page 2) THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1923 519 HON.

It is probable that the republicans will not offer any serious opposition to Representative Doyle after he re ceives the democratic nomination be- cause of his great personal popularity and his vote getting ability.

It is certain that as a member of the national house of representatives he will continue to be an upstanding spokesman for the people. No one who has ever supported Representative Doyle in the past has had occasion to regret his or her vote. Representative Doyle believes that the voters are entitled to an assurance as to what his program will be if honored with an election to Congress. His record in the Legislature is an indication of his beliefs. He voted against the ratification of the federal prohibition amendment and against the Volstead Act. Mr. Doyle voted against the enactment of legislation which would prohibit printing of school books in foreign languages. He took an active part in the movement to fill in Bubbly Creek and open up Thirty-ninth Street. He pledges himself to work and vote for the repeal of the federal income tax as it relates to small wage earners. He pledges active support for the proper hospitalization and decent treatment for veterans of all wars in which the United States has engaged. He has received the endorsement of all ward-organizations in the district and the commendation of all civic organizations interested in the welfare of the small tax payers. A special Primary will be held in the 4th District on Tuesday, October 2nd and a special election November 6th. Remember these dates and give Representative Doyle a vote. Hon. P. J. Carr, the popular and straightforward Treasurer of Cook County and his whole army of friends in the 4th Congressional District are working night and day for his election. Hon. Al. F.

Sullivan; Mr. John Koeznowski, President of the 12th Ward Polish organization and Mrs. V. E. Hojnocki, Its Secretary and all the other leading men and women residing in the 4th Congressional District are leaving no stone unturned to nominate Mr. Doyle for Congressman at the special primary, Tuesday, October 2nd, 1923 The late Congressman John W. Rainey, although a dyed in the wool Democrat, who always stood well with the colored people residing in the 4th Congressional District had the moral courage and was brave enough to stand up in the Lower House of Congress and in a loud voice he voted in favor of the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and on Tuesday, October 2nd, it should be a great pleasure to all of the colored men and women voters in that Congressional District to stand by Hon. Thomas A. Doyle for he will follow in the footsteps of our late lamented friend Congressman John W. Rainey and record his vote in favor of all measures which will redound to the great benefit of all the American people including the colored people. —Adv. ALABAMA JUDGE IS AGAINST MOB LAW AND ITS UPHOLDERS Decatur, Ala.—Persons who take upon themselves the task of inflicting punishment on others may be actuated by highest motives but it is easy for them to debase themselves, according to Judge James E. Horton, in a charge to the Morgan county grand jury on the activities of bands of men. Judge Horton pointed out that activities of these bands were few if at all in this section but warned the citizenship that the jurisdiction of the court in meeting out punishment should not be interfered with. The judge said in part: "There has recently been an unusual number of attacks upon private citizens by masked bands and numerous persons upon one pretext of another have been taken out and whipped and severely beaten. . . . But as a spirit of lawlessness is more or less epidemic it is well we should be careful to immediately suppress any acts of this kind. "There can be but one place for the meeting out of punishment and that is through the courts. The courts are instrumentalities instituted by the people for the punishment of offenders against the law. No matter what the crime, how guilty the party and how united public opinion, there are no excuses for private persons taking the execution of punishment into their own hands. Suppose in one instance the perpetrators are actuated by the highest motives and are seeking what they believe best for their communities. But our better natures are easily debased. Soon private malice and individual hate will become the actuating motive." THE BROAD AX In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue.

For instance reader when you see a store being built in the district where only colored people live you may conclude that it is being built for a colored store. You were never so wrong in your life. It is to be a white man's store and before the foundation was laid he had seen the joyful vision of stalwart Negroes filing into his store. He had had visions of the clerks waiting on colored people, and he had fancies of the ringing of his cash register, his book keeper summing up huge rows of figures, and his imagination had projected up into the years when he had gotten independent and wouldn't have to sell to Negroes any more. That is after he had gotten rich. We have got all kinds of brains in these thick skulls of ours but it does appear that we won't take on the proper phases of manly existence by availing ourselves of opportunities that are whitening to an abundant harvest where we could enjoy ideal monopolies in trade among our kind. We allow others to pluck the ripe fruit which would indeed be sweet to us. If you don't want anything else but religion, and upon religion all else is to depend we are courageous enough to say that its damn poor religion that makes a man satisfied to be a vaga- 1930 [Name] HON.

Here is the conclusion of the whole matter: Ignorance, the great luminary sin of the race has the Negro hogtied to every thing that weighs the race down. Sometimes we grow bellcose over our rapid growth, illucidate joyously over the progress we have made, but in this age of millionaires how many have we made among us? In this age of great stores how many have we built? In this age of great men how many have we made among us? As much as the preacher tells us that we cannot get along without the almighty dollar, we will believe every thing else he tells us but we are so fixed on heaven while our poverty keeps so deep in hell that we won't believe him when it comes to cherishing faith in the right thing, that dollar that can be rated in the stock market. We have nothing but praise for religious people, but they ought to possess something more than merely a religious mania; they should get mania for merchandising, selling something besides sermons that have no commercial value whatever. We wear everything the other people wear; eat everything the other people eat. There is but very little difference in the wants and even the luxuries of the two races. We buy everything there is to be sold, but somehow we don't seem to get it in our heads that our future generations are not to be benefited by all of the fools being on one side and all of the philosophers on the other side, besides why shouldn't 1930 dges of the Superior Court of Be Re-elected to the Superior Coalition or No Coalition, For Record Behind Him. HON. JAMES W. BREEN we have the merchant princes too? We are not being benefitted to all of the time by giving the white merchant our dollars and our business people our nickels. Why may we not turn the strong around and give our own race the dollars and the other folks the pennies and nickels if we must? Sometimes we think that we are a one-sided race and that side the poorest side. It is such a pity that we are so lacking in race pride, and that we are such damn poor excuses for what ought to be called men. A few Chinamen here and among them are several millionaires. A few Japanese and they have some of the most beautiful stores in the loop. A lone white woman has twenty little cafes in the loop. The Jews are united and that means that they own the wealth of the world. But the Negro has got religion, is excited, running from imaginary fires passing up all of the worthwhile things of life to get something in the hereafter, what it is he does not know, has not the feeblest conjecture, but he is going after it with the force and the spirit he might concentrate and use in commerce which would place a multiplied value to his feeblest religion founded for the most part on ignorance that damns his very heart. We have here in Chicago perhaps the ablest Negroes to be found in America, and yet it seems that all efforts to arouse them out of their lethargy is in vain. What are they waiting for? Why can't they see millions of dollars going down town, out of the pockets of their own race month after month and our hands seem palsied to inactivity. What is the use of educating our young people if we have not the sense nor the pride to open wider the gates of opportunity so they may not have to a bunch of servants forever. Obligations press down upon our heads, if we know and will not perform the duties we owe as leaders of our people. Politics is the cheapest thing we may do. It makes a man dependent on it for a support, a thing that must do what he is told to do, and you can not get too high to be told by somebody higher up. Commerce is the success of all of the races. Religion is the failure of the Negro, and it is our abiding faith that if we had more of the right kind of religion we would have more of the right kinds of business. ITALY TO FREE HER AFRICAN SLAVES GENEVA—Italy has officially notified the League of Nations that she has ordered the abolition of the slavery system existing within the Italian Legation in the Empire of Ethiopia (Abyssinia), which recently applied for membership in the League. She has directed the native staff of the Legation, which owns slaves, henceforth to consider them as servants, not slaves, pending Italian arrangements to restore them to liberty, with compensation to their owners. Slavery as it exists in Ethiopia is expected to be discussed in connection with the Ethiopian application for admission to the League, although it is recognized that it is a domestic question.

E BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1923 PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR ACTS PROMPTLY IN JOHNSTOWN DEPORTATION OF NEGROES Complies with Request of N. A. A. C. P. for Investigation—Mayor's Act Costs Him His Job—Mexican Gov ernment Joins in Protest. Gifford Pinchot, Govnor of Pennsylvania, wired the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at National Headquarters, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City, pledging that "the whole power of this commonwealth will be used if necessary to maintain constitutional rights" and declaring that he had "wred Mayor Caufiel for full statement of facts and reason for action taken" in the wholesale deportation of Negroes from Johnstown, Pa. The Governor's wire was in response to a protest from the Association against the action of the Johnstown Mayor in ordering all Negroes in that city who had not been residents for seven years to leave Johnstown immediately following the killing of two policemen by a drink-crazed colored man who was later killed by the police. The Association protested "against this high-handed injustice through such wholesale deportation of men regardless of their innocence or guilt solely because their skins are black" and pointed out that the only action that should have been taken would have been to seek out and punish the guilty. Governor Pinchot's telegram, addressed to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., reads, "Your telegram received. On return to Milford wired Mayor Cauffie asking him for full statement of facts and reason for action taken. The whole power of this commonwealth will be used if necessary to maintain constitutional rights." According to press dispatches, Mayor Cauffiel declared on being asked his opinion of the Association's protest that "I don't care what authority I have; for their own safety and for the safety of the Johnstown public the Negroes are going out of this city. . . . They tell me I am going to get into trouble. I don't care what they say. . . . If the rest of them (the Negroes) don't get out soon I'll arm police and send them into the colonies to walk the Negroes out of town at the point of a gun." Upon being called to account by Gov. Pinchot, Mayor Cauffiel attempted to deny he had ordered all Negroes and Mexicans to get out of town, declaring that he had merely "advised" them to get out in a newspaper interview. However, according to Associated Press dispatches, the arbitrary action of the mayor caused his defeat in the primaries on September 19. In a field of seven candidates he ran a poor fifth. The New York press headed the news account "Mayor's Negro Ban Costs Him His Job." The N.A.A.C.P. has announced that it was determined to push the case against the mayor to the fullest ex- MRS. BERTHA MONTGOMERY ATTENDED THE ANNUAL REUNION OR CONVENTION OF THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR VETERANS AT CHAT-TANOOGA, TENNESSEE Last week, Mrs. Bertha Montgomery, 4735 Indiana avenue, whose husband, Mr. W. H. Montgomery, fought in the Spanish-American war, was one of the Illinois delegates, to the united Spanish-American War Veterans, who held their union or convention at Chattanooga, Tenn. After the Illinois delegates had enjoyed an elegant luncheon at the Palmer House in this city, they departed for that southern city on a special Dixie Flyer train, over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. On the way down, the train crew and some of the delegates from other sections of the country, endeavored to "Jim Crow" and draw the color line on Mrs. Montgomery, but Col. John J. Garrity, former Colonel of the Second Regiment, Illinois National Guard and later on Chief of Police of Chicago, and every member of the Illinois delegation, saw to it, that Mrs. Montgomery was treated as one of them and that she received everything coming to her as a first class passenger Col. Garrity, forced those members of the train crew, who endeavored to prevent her from enjoying her breakfast in the dining room, to apologize to her for the insults and humiliation which they had subjected her to. Out of two thousand women present from all parts of the country, Mrs. Montgomery was the only colored woman present and she freely joined in all the discussions in connection with the reunion. tent. The Association has a trained investigator in Johnstown who is rapidly gathering evidence which, it is hoped, will form a basis for impeachment proceedings against Mayor Caufiel. It is felt that this will be possible especially in view of the fact that the Mexican Government, through its Embassy at Washington has joined with the N. A. A. C. P. in moving against the mayor. An official note of inquiry was sent by the Mexican Embassy to the Secretary of State of the United States on September 19 requesting full reports on the alleged deportation of Mexican citizens from the Pennsylvania steel town. The Embassy further announced it had instructed the Mexican Consulate at Philadelphia to proceed to Johnstown and report. The Embassy contended the Mayor had no legal authority to expel peaceful Mexican residents. James Weldon Johnson, in commenting on the importance of the case and the far-reaching effects of the successful fight against Mayor Cauffiel's action, said: "Mayor Cauffiel's highhanded and arbitrary action has received a just rebuke. The N.A.A.C.P. regards the outcome of the Johnstown affair as having far-reaching effect upon the vital interests, not only of the Negroes concerned but of all workers. If Mayor Cauffiel had been allowed without rebuke to order the wholesale deportation of 2,000 Negroes regardless of the innocence of guilt of the individuals concerned, he or any other mayor might have issued a similar order regarding colored people or any other group whenever any individual committed or was accused of committing a crime. "The decisive repudiation of the mayor's action nips in the bud similar attempts which would affect seriously the migration of Negroes from the mob-ridden South. Southern white newspapers would have played up eternally the incident in such fashion as to have deterred colored people from seeking greater freedom in the North. Having seen what happened to Mayor Cauffiel other mayors or public officials will hesitate a long time before trying any similar tactics "Again, had the attempt to deport Negroes and Mexicans been successful, invitations would have been extended by that success to the Ku Klux Klan and the mob to murder and harry Negro citizens wherever they chose in the North. Governor Pinchot acted promptly and vigorously and deserves the sincere thanks and praise of all colored people and fair-minded white people. Also the citizens of Johnstown are to be thanked for their prompt and decisive repudiation of Mayor Cauffiel at the polls." REV. J. W. ROBINSON AT SIMP- SON CHURCH Rev. J. W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's church, New York City, preached Sunday morning and evening at Simpson church, Indianapolis, Ind., to large audiences.

Harvey wants it distinctly understood that he has no bitterness in his heart against anyone connected with his former church and that he had simply become tired of the way its affairs have been so disgracefully conducted by so many unfit and un- moral preachers, Rev. Harvey was pastor of St. Mary's Church for four years during which time he paid six thousand dol- ,ars on the running debts of the church and he bought a six, seven and eight room modern flat building for it at $145 and $147 Prairie ave., in which the church parsonage is located and the five rented flats bring in two hundred and eighty-five dollars per month. The building is worth twenty- four thousand dollars with only four- teen thousand dollars against it. Rev. Harvey also established a Mu- tual Aid Society for the special benefit of the sick members of St. Mary's Church. Before coming to Chicago Rev. Harvey was for six years pastor of Quinn Chapel. Louisville, Ky., where ‘the General Conference will be held in 1924. All of the foregoing tends to prove that Rev. Harvey has been of some importance in the Great A. M. E. Charch. MIGRATION DECREASING (Urban League News Service) With the coming of fall a .smaller and smaller number of our people ar coming to Chicago. They began tc come in large enough numbers to at tract attention in the early spring, and the in increasing numbers until. about the first of August, when the first fal ing off. was noticed. ‘While the movement was at its height the Urban League and its good friends made 2 check up and discov. ered that on four Sundays a total of ‘over 3,600 filed through the gates of the Illinois Central and Dearborn Stations. If due allowance be made for those who came in other days of the week and for those who were merely passing through, it is entirely likely that from January up to August 1, Chicago’s population was increased on an average of 2,000 colored people each month. ‘Another ® check up made for all trains from the South every day over the Illinois Central Railroad for the period from July 3 to September 3, showed a total of 6314 Negro travel- ers, or 3000 2 month. From this it can be seen that the migration is de- creasing, but is by no means over asyet. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, SE cee seeing TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THEBROAD AX, ISSTILLCON-| » FINED IN THE HOSPITAL AT SAN|:; FRANCISCO, CALIF, AND HE RE-|i- QUESTS HIS MANY FRIENDS TO): WRITE TO HIM AT 2462 vecual STREET THAT CITY. Z San Francisco, California—All the delegates to the National Baptist con- vention have nat returned home, and I fear that some of them may never return, for they have decided that this is the promised ‘land and. here they will abide until called home to their ternal rest. Perhaps this will be a good thing’ to’ do, because President Warren G. Harding gave up the high- est position in the gift of the people Yo go to heaven from San Francisco. Now, here I am still in this place and do not know how long I will have to stay here, for the doctors of Lane and Stanford hospital have hold of me, and they do not know when they can turn me out, or I may have to follow in the wake of President Harding. Some people in this. world would be sorry to learn of my going home, and while there would not be a special train to convey me to my last resting place, yet there would be sad hearts just the same, The National Baptist convention has made a great impression out here, and people are delighted to see those who belong to that great organization. Dr. L. K. Williams has proved to be just the right man for the place, and he is 2 wonderfal character. “L. K.,” as he is called by his immediate friends, is following in the steps of the Elias Camp Morris, getting into the hearts of the people, and we should all join in rejoicing that we have such a man. He has a wonderful program for the Baptists as well as for his own people. Let me step back to say to those who are friendly to me and desire to drop me a line, send it to 2462 Clay street, San Francisco, Calif, T will get it and will be delighted to have a line from you whether you want to do so or not. I want to know that you are thinking about me way out here in this country alone sick. A fellow must get sick sometimes. I have searched this country for information to give to you, and now I am down. T have seen some of the preachers and some of the women passing through here, and it was a pleasure to see them. Saw Rev. C. T. Stamps of Mississippi here yesterday, and he wanted to get a place to preach Sun- day morning where he could get a collection, He was desperate, but I did not have a pulpit in which T could send him. He wanted that I tele- phone the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, and ask him to let Dr. Stamps preach for him Sunday morning. I told him that it was the last Sunday before conference and this minister was going to have his bishop Sunday evening and could not provide for him. Men on long distances like this and then going sight secing should pro- vide themselves with the wherewithal and not depend on collections when they get away. He is‘purely on a sight seging tour now, and if the Lord wants to use him He will do so, and he will not Have to go begging for a place. T must not say anything about Brother Stamps, for here I am out here, yet I feel that I will not have to ask for a collection from any churches. He will provide for me. 1 am on the Lord's side, and He will take care of His own. ‘ ‘They tell me that it is true about the split from the split in Fort Worth, and that Rev. E, P Jones, D. D., L:L.

But “I told you so,” it is not in the blood of the Rev. Dr. Edward P, Jones, to give up. When he once gets in a good place, he wants to re- main until separated by death. I had the pleasure of coming *in touch with Noah D. Thompson while in Los Angeles, and believe me he is one more busy man. He is doing the newspaper stunt right along, and was ready to show any possible courtesy I was delighted to have the pleasare of looking in’his face, and talking with him. Then I had the a of see- ing Sam Thompson. He is one of the factors in this section of the country, and he believes in doing things. Some people will remember, him, and there are others who will not. Life is just life, that's all, T have been to Los Angeles again. I got the doctor to excuse me to go back to fill some engagements I had there, and, -honey, they have been filled, and Tam back. I spoke on Sunday morning to the First African Methodist Episcopal church, of which the Rev. Dr. Wart is pastor, and they were out in full. bloom, believe me When I faced that large, intelligent audience, it was all I could do to keep my heart from jumping out of my mouth. “With the proper effort, I suc- ceeded, and preached the word to, the people. I did not know that the peo- ple would do such in California. They shouted, and some of them cried, and then when I was through 2 number of them joined the church, and ‘then gave to the preacher about $27, and that was going some. © Tuesday night, I spoke at the Inde- pendent Church, of which the Rev. Mr. Greggs is pastor, and they had some crowd there to greet me. 1 borrowed some: thunder from Charles Stewart, and delivered his pet lecture, “Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked.” 1 spoke, and some of them declared that I could deliver it better than Stewart, and they want,to hear me again. I had people to tell me that I look so much like him. Perhaps I do, be- cause I use my eyes for looking. I spent the few days with Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Cooner, and the bride, and had some good time. They are royal entertainers, and it was a pleasure for me to be with these people. I met Mr. and Mrs, Dean, his name is Homer Dean, and his wife is Mrs. Sadie Dean, and they make their home at Santa Monica, where ‘they wanted that I should go and spend the night, and enjoy myself with them in their home, but I could not go, because of making the return to this place, to sec the doctor. He was kind enough to let me make the trip and I had to return to the hospital on time. They have been putting me through some wonderful tests. I have promised to go to see Mr. and Mrs. Dean, and spend a night and day at their home if I do not go to heaven ‘from this point. They were so pleased with “Sambo Waxed: Fat and Kicked.” until they want me to come out there and deliver that same lecture. I think I have as much right to deliver it as Stewart. I know as much as he knows and can speak as well, if not better, and why not? I think I shall have to bring this letter to a stop. I have many thirfys to say to you later about San Fran- cisco. Our schools are opening all through the country and the people are getting in’ them. 1 think I will have to get me some more education in order to be able to shine. God bless you. CHARLES E.

I enclose herewith Two Dollars, the annual subscriptions to same, or One Dark Blue in Favor Dark blue is the leading color for street and morning wear, asserts a correspondent in the New York Tribune. There is no dissension about this, all the courtiers being agreed, even Paul Pofret, whose creations differ so strikingly from all others. The light Havana brown claims a certain popularity. Gray and beige are very good for the tailleurs and dresses designed to be worn in the summer. These are the leading colors, black having very little place in this class of garment. We find dark blue in combination with widely varying detail, differing according to the house which shows it. Jenny uses Roman stripe braid, ribbon or silk to trim her street costumes, which are always straight of line, usually with very short unbelted jackets. She secures the Roman stripe effect on some of her morning dresses and tailleurs by many rows of narrow ribbon overlaying each other. She also shows the dainty lingerie blouse to accompany her tailleurs. Jenny still adheres to her beloved braid trimming for simple frocks and suits. Doucet's tailored costumes have sober and youthful lines, now narrow and straight cut, now fanciful, with the circular tunic jacket. Martial et Armand incline to three-piece suits. Printed fabrics of brilliant color form the contrasting notes to sober fabrics in these creations. Jackets of such suits are insignificant affairs as to size, but very distinctive in cut. They favor the cape or cape jacket. Their simple dresses have as their base dark blue, beige or gray wool, and display some charming fancies in the way of collars, cuffs and trimming. One interesting chemise dress has a collar and mousquetaire cuffs of green, yellow and brique bands of organdie, alternating. Another has a single triangular breast pocket of brilliant embroidery. Almost every woman has in her closet a last year's silk dress of plain standard lines that is perfectly good excepting for the one fact that it is last year's and shows that it is. The great variety of ribbons furnishes many ways of altering such a dress, depending upon the material and the color. If it is a dark heavy silk crepe it may be brought up to date by the application of narrow Roman striped ribbon, or any narrow ribbon in vivid colors. The ribbon should be applied in large designs on the dress so that the effect is that of the new fashionable blocked material. Likewise, neck and sleeves should be outlined with ribbon. If the dress is of a lightweight silk of any pastel shade it may be treated in the same way, employing, however, a more delicately toned ribbon; for instance, a narrow ribbon of ceramic blue displaying a Dolly Varden design and edged with gold would be charming on a frock of fallow tan.
