Member Ohio Legislature, 1 1894 to 1898. 1 4900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, JULY 28, 1903. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Read our advertisements and patronize those thus represented in our columns. There is going to be a "hot" time this fall—a campaign long to be remembered. The "colored brother" should be an unknown quantity this fall as far as politics is concerned. Send in your subscription for The Gazette and get a good, live race newspaper and advocate. Have we an agent and correspondent in your community? The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a volume, "Speeches and Addresses of William McKinley; March 1, 1897, to May 30, 1900," compliments of Senator M. A. Hanna. Thanks. At both the Philadelphia and Kansas City national conventions the "colored brother" was told in actions far plainer than words that he was wanted this fall only as a "hewer of wood and drawer of water." There is no denying this fact. It is truth. We can shout, carry the banners and water pails and thus help either side on to victory, if we want to. We may even be coaxed to do these things by a few paltry dollars, a jolly or two, or by promises of a few small places which were filled many months ago. However painful it may be, dear brothers, you may as well admit as well as recognize the fact. Stop trying to make others of the race believe that you believe the opposite. You have done it too long already. Last Saturday's N. Y. Age announced editorially that The Gazette is supporting the democratic ticket. Indeed! Timothy Thomas Fortune, how can you? Surely you were joking when those lines were written. We never thought you a willful prevaricator. The publication of suchrot won't enable you to get any nearer to the cash box of the national republican executive committee. You must give better evidence of having swallowed Roosevelt's outrageous Scribner Magazine assault upon the brave black soldier heroes who saved him and his command in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. It is really amusing to hear Fortune talk about this "political creed" after "vibrating" for years between the democratic and republican parties. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a communication from Messrs. J. H. Porter and L. H. Smith, of New Brighton, Pa. Their suggestions are good ones, with the possible exception of the one which calls for a meeting to form an organization for the purpose of raising money to test in the courts the constitutionality of all such laws as Virginia's "Jim Crow" car laws. We desire to say to the gentlemen mentioned and others that the race already has a splendid organization known as the Afro-American Council, which, in turn, has a finance committee empowered to receive their and others' contributions of whatever sums they may elect to make, and we suggest that they not hesitate, but do as quickly as possible what many others have done, and that is, forward as large a sum of money by check or post office money order as they can to the president of the council, Bishop Alexander Walters, 228 Duncan avenue, Jersey City, N. J. Mr. J. E. Bruce, of Albany, N. Y., very pertinently remarks: In striking contrast with the democratic profession that it is pledged to the observance of the principle "that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed," is the manifestation of democratic intolerance of and indifference to the rights and wishes of a considerable element of the people in those states of the south where disfranchisement laws, Jim Crow cars and lynch law give the lie to this declaration. If the democratic party really believes "that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed," why does it not practice what it preaches and allow the outraged and persecuted Negroes of the south, whom it bulldozes and intimidates, to exercise this sovereign right of citizenship? "The consent of the governed" in these states has not been given to the enactment of the odious and repressive laws which practically bar the Negro from participation in the affairs of government. OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE. The democratic "Red Shirts" of North Carolina, with the party's battle cry in that state, "White Supremacy" are already in force, armed and many are mounted. On the 19th the gubernatorial campaign was opened at Lumberton, N. C. More than 1,000 heavily armed men, "Red Shirts," from the rural districts alone, were in the parade and had with them a Gatling gun. Thousands, all wearing red shirts, flocked to the little city from all sections of the state and the "political" battle is on. By grace of the "forbearance" of a national republican administration that failed to punish the murderers of a postmaster(Baker) in a neighboring state, and that has for four years nearly, permitted the southern whites to do about as they pleased in all matters directly affecting our people of that section, these red-shirted democratic hoodlums and murderers (of North Carolina) will be enabled to drive or scare the Afro-Americans from the polls in that state in November, and "elect" all their candidates, including congressmen and presidential electors. Three republican congressmen from that state will have democrats as successors in the next congress. One of these three will be Congressman Geo. H. White, the only Afro-American in congress, and doubtless the last one for at least many years to come. There is in all this food for much serious thought, if our people will but stop and consider the matter carefully from a race standpoint only. When we ask you to do this, we are not asking you to vote for or against anyone. But as a loyal member of the race, and a life-long republican, we feel that the thinking period in our life as a race has arrived, and that it is high time we were recognizing the fact. The future of the race is a matter of personal interest with us all, whether we recognize and admit the fact or not. It means much to you and more to your children. Therefore regard the race's future, your vital interests, as paramount always to those of any party. We trust that this is understood by every one of our readers, man, woman or child. Our women should understand thoroughly the all-important condition and matter to which attention is here called. THE "JIM CROW" CAR AND NEGRO. The following leader is from the Philadelphia Odd Fellows' Journal of July 19: Down in Atlanta, Ga., where the intelligent and self-respecting portion of the race has been leading a successful fight against the "Jim Crow" street car, a new element has been injected into the controversy. Bishop Henry M. Turner, senior Bishop of the A. M. E. church, has gone over to the side of the race haters, who delight to heap indignities upon the better class colored man, and is patronizing the "Jim Crow" street car, which has been boycotted by the leaders of the race. So far, he is the only colored man of any standing in Atlanta who has so far lowered his dignity as to accept the humiliation which his enemies have devised for him. He makes two lame excuses for his conduct: 1st, that he is partially paralyzed: 2d, that he wanted the leading colored men to join him in a long written protest against the ordinance providing for these cars and they would not do so. Those who condemn Bishop Turner very properly point to the fact that colored men have vehicles on the streets, in which he could ride at the same figure he pays on the street car; that he has drawn a large salary and perquisites from his race long enough to be able to own a horse and carriage; that the race has done enough for him to warrant him in making a sacrifice for its welfare, and that there can be no excuse for any man's compromising his manhood. The talk about other prominent colored men not joining him in a protest against the "Jim Crow" car system, and thus singling themselves out for persecution, is the sheerest nonsense. The colored man has done nothing since the war but protest. He has protested until the white people who are inimical to his advancement, count upon his protesting and then proceeding to eat his dish of crow in peace and with dispatch. This time the good women who are leading the fight, have profited by past experience, and instead of protesting, have quietly organized and are striking those who would humiliate them, in a vulnerable spot—their pockets. The receipts have steadily fallen off and it has become necessary to find some colored man who is willing to act as a decoy duck to bring the recalcitrant "darkies" back to their support of the street railway, "Jim Crow" car and all. They secured Bishop Turner, to the everlasting disgrace of his denomination and his race. Some months ago in discussing another subject, we said that "Ever since the war, whenever and wherever any individual or number of individuals of the race had attempted anything for its betterment and made a stand against existing wrongs and proscriptions, there has always been some one who posed as a leader, who was willing for some personal consideration to attempt to hinder the cause he ought to help." This is a flagrant demonstration of that assertion. Bishop Turner is an old man and has enjoyed many privileges and received great emoluments, and yet none of those things weigh with him for an instant when an inducement is offered him to help fasten upon those who have honored and supported him and their posterity, this stigma and humiliation. He should be ashamed of himself and the great denomination which he misrepresents should be ashamed of him. New Brighton, Pa., Brevities. New Brighton, Pa., Brevilles. Mrs. J. H.

THE "ROUGH RIDERS" IN CAMP. The Order of the Day Last Sunday— Interesting Notes, Etc. Company D, the "Rough Riders" of the Ninth battalion, were again in camp Sunday, July 22, at Horse Shoe Glen and had the largest "turn-out," 52 men being out. Camp was opened Friday night and tents were struck Sunday night, giving the boys two days and two nights. Sunday was spent drilling. At 5:35 o'clock Lieut. Hall marched the boys around a 50-acre field for mornning exercise; at 7 o'clock breakfast; from 9 to 11:30 a. m. drill in extended order; dinner at 12:30; charge of "San Juan" hill at 2 p. m. The visitors were greatly amused by the old "vets" spanking the "recruits" on the company street. At 5:30 supper was served; 6 o'clock, battalion drill until 7:30. The company was divided into two divisions, Lieut. Drayton commanding Company A; Lieut. Hall, Company B; Capt. Moore, major. This drill was the best of the day., Company D will go into camp next month. The camp was christened "Camp Fulton," in honor of the major. Camp Fulton was in its glory Sunday. All Chagrin Falls turned out. The guests were delighted with the camp. Privates Joe Howard and Doc Williams had the finest quarters in camp it was a perfect Euclid avenue. Putting all jokes aside, that "bull door" cook can certainly cook beans. dog" cook can certainly cook beans. Van Dusen's Jubilee club had things their way on the hill singing all the latest songs of the day. Sergeant Hackley arrived at noon with a little Cuban boy as mascot. We named him "Cuba." Company D has the finest official staff in the state from a standpoint of ingenuity and intellectually. Trumpeter Harry Wilson wants to know whether or not Corporal Henderson is a real Spanish scout. Charles fell at first shot and almost rolled into the lake during the charge on San Juan hill. Pebbs, of the company, had a big day of it Sunday. Judge Advocate Sellers had him and others up in blankets. Everything else goes with initiation. "Little Chief" with his big gun and his tribe, big Indan Charles Marshall, gave an enjoyable war dance. Sergeant Bowles is able to resume his old position after six months' illness. We are glad to see him back. Sergeant Robinson enjoys early morning boat rides and drifting into the lake. Corporal Henderson says he doesn't like snakes. He slept the three nights with his eyes open. Mr. and Mrs. N. Smith, of Sked street, visited their son, Private Ernest Smith. Ask Clerk George Scott and Private George Mickey if we had a chicken-pie dinner Sunday. Mrs. James Jackson and Miss Pearl Lyons had a fine spread for a few of the boys. Corporal C. S. Royal and Private Walter Jackson congratulate themselves as being members of the lucky party. No one must mention Battery A to Bert Miller, or anything about that battle of San Juan or the cannon.

Sam De Graw, the Superior street saloonkeeper who was arrested Sunday for keeping open on that day, is the fellow who will sell drinks to our people at his bar and then refuse to permit them to sit at the tables in the rear of his establishment and enjoy them. Director Barrett deserves credit for ordering the fellow's arrest and our people will appreciate the act. Cleveland is no place for such prejudiced individuals and De Graw will find this out in time. J. L. Nichols & Co., of Naperville, Ill., who are handling the book, "The Story of My Life and Work," by Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee normal and industrial school, desires agents.

Deacon & Co., Indianapolis, Ind., a very pretty and unique button with the American flag in the background and a large letter P, indicating the words, "Patriotism and Prosperity."

"The people will not vote themselves into the poor house twice in eight years." Miss Florence Nunn and Mr. and Mrs. Bell, of Louisville, Ky., guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Embry, returned home the past week after a delightful visit here and in Detroit.

To cook potatoes au gratin, chop cold boiled potatoes rather fine; mix them with an equal quantity of cream sauce; turn them into a baking dish, cover the top with Parmesan cheese and bake in a moderate oven until a golden brown.—July Ladies' Home Journal. To make corn pone, put one pint of meal into a bowl; pour over sufficient boiling water just to moisten it; it must not be wet. Cover, and when cool add a tablespoonful of shortening, melted, and two eggs lightly beaten. Add a pint of thick sour milk to which you have added a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of water and mix thoroughly. Turn into a shallow pan and bake in a moderately quick oven for half an hour.—July Ladies' Home Journal. The discrimination of labor unions against Negroes may cut some figure in politics this year, and ought to do so. An organization in Ohio has pledged itself not to support any candidate for office who is a member of a trades union unless said candidate goes on record as favorable to the admission of competent Negro mechanics. It further declares that it will refuse support to any employer who goes out of his way to snub colored laborers. They are getting the idea! Miss Nellie Stratin, of Portsmouth, O., is the guest of her mother, Mrs. Stratin, of Forest street. Mr. Walter Stratin, of Portsmouth, will resume his old position in the Weddell house. Mrs. Woods, who was the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Stratin, will leave for Urbana Sunday to visit her sister, and from there will return to her home in Ironton.

Twenty young ladies and several small boys took part in the play. About $15 was realized. The convention was given under the auspices of "The Young Gleaners," a society composed of young people, formed last fall, for the purpose of helping to buy books for our new church. Miss Susie Tucker is president of this society and Miss Esther Irving secretary. Miss Florence Richardson and Mr. T. J. Shauter were quietly married last week Thursday evening. Mr. John A. Mitchell and Miss Kittie Skeen are to wed next Wednesday evening. Rev. E. D. Dandridge left Thursday on a five weeks' vacation, going first to Mt. Pleasant, Pa., thence to southern Ohio, where he will attend a Baptist association meeting. The elder has certainly earned the vacation and we hope he will have an exceedingly pleasant time. Our people should patronize Madam Johnson, who conducts a millinery and dress-making establishment at No. 677 Central avenue. We are always pleased to see as many of our race as possible go into business for themselves, and the people of this city should assist her as much as possible in her undertaking. If you intend purchasing any hairdressing article, before doing so read carefully the "Ozono" advertisement in our paper and you will quickly see the opportunity before you to get a good and cheap tonic for the hair. The editor of The Gazette received an invitation last week from Mr. J. B. Perkins to meet him and members of the Cuyahoga delegation in the 74th, general assembly, at the Cricket club in the West End and take a drive through our park system. Eight of the delegation responded, and were taken in a fine tally-ho through Edgewater and Clinton parks and over part of the boulevard system to the Roadside club, where a fine dinner was served under the direction of "Colonel" Edward Daw, who is now in charge of the dining room, etc., there. After dinner Mr. Perkins conducted them to the Driving park, where a gentlemen's matinee was being held, and secured all passes for this week's races. Afterward the drive was resumed, passing through Gordon and Wade parks over more of the boulevard system, thence back to the heart of the city. Mr. Perkins is one of our leading public citizens and a member of the park board—a fine man, a gentleman, always, whether coming in contact with the rich or poor, black or white. The editor of this paper thoroughly enjoyed himself and returns thanks for the same. The Cleveland Protestant orphan asylum, 1460 St. Clair street., has a nice little colored boy six months old, one colored girl eight years old, one colored girl ten years old and one colored girl twelve years old.

Rathbone, late director of posts in Cuba. He also added that Gen. Wood did not issue orders to the courts of Cuba. He then explained that the Bristow report had been forwarded to Gen. Wood by mail, but as this could not reach him soon enough the main features of the report had been already placed in his possession, and was also in possession of the proper authorities in Cuba.

Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions; don't ask you to write the names for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but don't do it. You must be dorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short of success or bad luck, success when all others fail. Positive feedback or distraction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now Rich. Happy and Successful Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against power and influence. He is the edge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited: the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and love. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder. 47 Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder, south Brooklyn. All he has known hints that the lives of the people test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. Please Read the Following: Please Read the Following: "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.—This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I did. I was a friend of a friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I had Dr. Shea. I would advise all in bad luck sick or in trouble to go to him alone. Sincerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2937 Atlantic avenue." "BROOKLYN, Aug. 15, 1891.--This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of £3.00. I will be very sorry. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I did find it as he told me. I thank God there is a man gifted in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do. Sincerely, Mrs. MARY MILLER. South Plainfield, New Jersey. DR.

No. 348 Superior St. Cleveland, O. 3 CLAIRVOYANT. MRS. MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANCE CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estringements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon affairs of life, love, Courtship, marriage, etc. with expertise of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, manly manner, and in a deep trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Mamaeus is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people share the same name with what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started.

Sham Battles of the Troops Excite the Risibilities of Those Who Witness Them. Sham battles form a large part of the drill of the Chinese troops. These are terrible affairs in the eyes of the natives, but to a foreigner they are extremely farcical, says a foreign exchange. People living near a military post are awakened nearly every morning by reports of firearms in sufficient regularity to indicate some intention in the discharges. This firing is part of the exercise which a battalion goes through regularly. The exercises of the battalion—part armed with muzzle loaders and part with breech loaders—is in the genuine Chinese style. Flags form an important part of the display, writes a recent observer of one of these affairs. Eleven flags stood 30 paces in the rear of the line, two large ones in the center, and one planted 50 yards in front of the center. Two officers stood facing the front of the line near a drummer, the former with his instrument on a stand. The battalion having gone through some volley firing by "sections" of six men each, regulated by the lowering of the furled flag, the drummer gave a signal, the flags were unfolded and the variously costumed soldiery wandered off in single file in a kind of pantomime circular countermarch, at the end of which line formation in single rank was assumed. "Battalion" volleys were then fired, the furled flags lowered and the bearers pranced out, going through a queer bit of a lance exercise, characterized by a skip and caper and twirl between each point, accompanied by a shout when delivered. This seems to have been intended as a comic interlude while the musketeers went through the serious business of loading, and was repeated between each volley until the drum again gave the signal for the pantomime, countermarch. On re-forming the line began file firing to the tap of the drum, single shots running up the rear and down the front rank, the latter kneeling to fire. The walk round was repeated and, the line having been reformed, circular groups of six musketeers formed round each flag in the line, and, moving round the flagbearer, each man discharged his rifle as he came to the front, reloading as he circled. This ended the show and the performers marched off in single file, executing a "maze," and the drummer, who had regulated everything with his taps, disappeared with his companion, the gongman, who seemed to have chimed in whenever he thought it would sound well. Of the artillery drill the observer says: "The guns were small modern Krupps, not horsed, but 'manned' with drag-ropes. Each gun was accompanied by a huge flag to enable the enemy to find his position. Sometimes the guns were aimed, blank cartridge being fired, and followed by a great waving of flags. The whole detachment was too crowded and offered a splendid target." PLEASED WITH THE SHOW. A Bibulous Maine Lumberman Who Was of the Genuinely Appreciative Kind. The leading man of the Wide-Awake theatrical troupe happens to be an acquaintance of mine and he was in town the other day. Said that he had just finished his season up in Aroostook. The troupe had been making week stands in the small towns, says the Lewiston Journal. "Funniest thing on the whole trip was this," said the leading man. "I've been saving it up to tell you. The hall was so small in one place that we had to unpack on the stage. Had no dressing rooms. We were busy about 7 o'clock in the evening, when all at once there was a banging on the outside door. The manager went to see what it meant. A man was there pounding with both fists. "Let me in; let me in,' shouted he. "Who ever heard of you?' asked the manager. 'What do you want?' "I'm just down out of the woods, by thunder, and I want to see this show. I'm just bustin' to see a show. I want to come in.' "Well, you can't come in now,' said the manager. 'The show hasn't begun.' "But the man still pounded. 'Open the door,' he yelled. "Come back in a little while,' said the manager, and he left the door. "But the man kept on pounding. 'I've got money and I want to see the show,' he cried. 'Open up or I'll kick the door in.' "Let him in,' said I. 'He'll be less trouble in here than outside there making all that hoorar. Folks will think there's a riot on.' "Well, come in,' said the manager, and he took the man's money and gave him a seat down close to the stage. He had a most beautiful Aroostook accumulation on board and had evidently been attending strictly to that business during the day. But after he got into his seat he was as quiet as a kitten. "You needn't be afraid of me, boys," said he. 'I've had a few since I struck town, but I won't 'sturb yer show, not for no money. I wouldn't have made as much noise out t' door, but ye see, I didn't wanter miss zis show. "In a minute we had forgotten all about the man. We went on unpacking and whistling and singing. We were feeling pretty gay and had been having a good business and so we joked with one another and skylarked around more or less. "At a quarter of eight the manager said: 'Well, boys, pull the curtain and make less noise. I'm going to open the doors.' "When the curtain had been dropped our friend in front struggled up and after a great effort got one arm into his overcoat. Then he waved his other arm impressively and sald, with the overcoat flopping as he made his gestures: 'Genklum. zish's goo' show—ish's goo' a show zevver I see in my life. Ish all right an' ish's 'fernal shame ain' a bigger orjence—but zish was allus por show town. Goo' night." "I'll toss you to see who stays," said the bull. He tossed and the man lost. The moral is that it is never safe to indulge in games of chance, especially when all the odds are against you. Philadelphia North American. Beauty of the Summer Gowns at NEWPORT There Are But Few Novelties in the Way of Materials, but the Costumes Were Never Handsomer Than Now SOME MEXICAN PROVERBS. GLOSSARY OF CHINESE TERMS. STAYS, the steels and bones that have so long agitated the dress re- formers, are at last going out. The girls we see at Newport to-day have discarded all of them save a small girdle, and the result is a willowy form that has an ease of motion unknown for many years: The dress reformers were right; the girl without stays is better than the girl with them. The garments of the day are no longer tight fitting at the waist line, but have a soft and not too clinging outline, back and front. But the lack of stays has not in the least changed the beauty of the sum- A DAINTY GOWN OF WHITE MUSLIN. mer gowns. The materials that are being worn were never handsomers, though there are probably fewer real novelties than for several years past, but there are many old reliables in new designs that make exceptionally attractive gowns for practically all purposes. Especially is this true of the lighter materials for evening gowns, and those that one meets with on the evening promenades. Of these some of the new delaines seem to be in favor, judging by the number of gowns made of them that are to be seen. "Toile delaine" is one of the most practical, making up very neat, becoming costumes. It is to be had in a few shades only, four shades of gray, from light to dark, and three shades of beige from sand to wood color; a grayish-blue and a bluish-mauve complete the series. Mohair is a very fashionable and appropriate material for walking costumes, either tailor-made or not. It has the advantage of being more or less dressy, according to its shade of color, and is manufactured in almost every variety of shade. Beside gray and beige tints it appears in both dark and light blues, dull and brilliant reds, slate, aubergine, havanah, terra cotta, russet and lemon, cream and chalk-white. One of the latest modifications of mohair is "pique mohair," speckled with tiny dots, red, mauve, blue or black, over a white ground, or white over a blue or black ground. Another style is a mixed texture of two shades of color; another again is a very small check in soft colors, such as light beige OF FLOWERED MUSLIN AND LACE. and white, pale blue and white, and various shades of gray and white. All these tissues are made up into tailor costumes. Softer woolen tissues, more suitable to a looser style of dress, are also manufactured in a great variety of shades. One of the prettiest is Malgache toile, especially pretty in mignonette-green, periwinkle-blue, lavender, abricotine and cloud-gray. It is either self-colored or of one light shade of color mixed with white. There's no gain without pain. To the hungry no bread is dry. Wind and good luck do not last. He who has little has little to fear. Don't take a pawn that must be fed. A cat in gloves will never catch rats. The good laundress washes the shirt first. A frugal, rich father and a spendthrift son. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1900. More expensive and more elegant than the above, crepon is in great favor. You would find it useful for more dressy occasions. It is almost as silky as crepe de chine, and is, indeed, mixed with silk. One of the prettiest varieties is Messaline crepon, soft, light and glossy. It is not exclusively a plain tissue; it is sometimes brocaded in waved lines, intersected leaves or small dots. These wool and silk brocaded crepons are charming, in all new shades of color; they make up pretty summer dresses, soft, cool and elegant, lighter and quite as dressy as silk ones. Silk crepon is too fine and delicate a texture for any but a ball dress, but it is exquisite for chemisettes and plaited plastrons. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt's whist parties afford an excellent opportunity for the study of the most charming class of the summer gowns. The one that comes between the elaborate evening affair and the plainer ones of the afternoon. And, by the way, whist is one of the popular forms of amusement at Newport this season—one that has taken the place of dancing and dinners of past seasons. There is a whist teacher, for even the fashionable folks are not above a little learning, and whist parties have been arranged for three evenings each week. Of the materials that one sees at these parties the new summer silks dominate. Their patterns are in imitation of the lovely embroidery designs so fashionable this year. Some have arabesque patterns in black over a light red, amethyst, turquoise, silver-gray or creamy white ground. The pattern is edged with a fine outline in relief which simulates silk cord; others are brocaded with tiny spots and a running pattern of floures, leaves or berries, all in camaeiu shades of one color, the spots being lighter and the running pattern darker than the ground of the material. This is very effective in pearl-gray, coral-pink, lavender-blue, and so on. Others again have patterns of leaves or of well-defined blossoms, such as china-asters, tulips, marigolds, A PRINCESS GOWN IN YELLOW. anemones or pansies, outlined with an edging closely resembling chain-stitch. Besides these patterns, which stand out in relief, there is often a sort of camaleu pattern running in between. But I cannot resist the temptation of describing two or three of the charming summer evening gowns just for the sake of illustrations. One in a pink and white mousseline was particularly charming. It was trimmed with narrow valenciennes lace on both skirt and bodice. The skirt was tucked all the way around from the low bust line to just below the hips, then spreading in great fullness, with eight narrow ruffles edged with lace on each side, and the lace at the bottom in front and back. The bodice had a chemisette of lace with a puffing of mousseline across the bust. A finish of white chiffon and yellowish lace folded around the shoulders in fichu effect. The sleeves were puffed at the top. A second was of flowered muslin. Of this the skirt was plaited and opened fully around the foot. The bodice had a high stock and rounded yoke of tucked muslin, with a fuchu of ivory chiffon and lace, the stole ends caught into the waist with straps of ribbon and fastened with three brilliant buttons. A third had a princess effect and was made with a low-pointed decollette and plaited sash across the shoulders, with a full lace flounce to finish. It was fastened at the side with a large buckle.

A Young Wife Demonstrates to Her Husband that He is a Mere Theorist. They had been married six weeks. He had delivered daily lectures on the expense of the dove cote. It is not unlikely that she had acted upon her own judgment, says the New York Sun. Evidently she knew more about some things than he. Looking up from his newspaper, in manipulating which he overturned his cup of coffee, he said: "I see that ice has been reduced to 40 cents." She was engaged in pouring his second cup. He repeated his remark. "Yes, dearie," she replied. "I heard you." "Then there is a small reduction there. My sainted father, to whose financial acumen we are indebted for a good many things in this apartment, used to say to me when I was a boy that it was the spigot saving which offset the waste at the bung-hole, or something of that sort. You know where the spigot is, of course, sweetheart." "I have seen it diagramed," was the reply. "Of course, because ice has been reduced from 60 to 40 cents is no reason why your girl should be allowed to chop the ice to powder, or to use it more recklessly. That would not be economy. If she did that it would make no difference to you whether ice was 40 cents or a dollar. You get the drift? It is applicable to all expenses." "What is the weather forecast, dearie?" "I haven't seen it. I was talking about our household expenses. I hope you heard what I said about this ice business." "Why, certainly I did, but I did not know it called for special reply." "I only want you to cultivate the financial hints which I throw out, because I cannot look after details of the house and watch the ticker at the same time." She was busy with her pencil. "Making out your order for the day?" he asked. "No, dearie, I was thinking of a little problem in geometry—one of the last we had in our class." "What nonsense! A woman has about as much use for geometry as a hen has for a life preserver." "Won't you look at these figures, dearie? I have drawn them hastily," and she shoved over a sheet of paper on which there were three squares, the first being the biggest. He gave the drawings a hasty glance and said he supposed they were correct, but he hoped she would permit herself to think of more practical matters. "That is what I thought I was doing, dearie," she replied, with a slight tremolo in her voice. But in spite of it she proceeded to demonstrate: "Let the largest square represent 25 pounds of ice when the price was 60 cents. Then let the second square be equivalent to the first when the price was 50 cents. Then according to the rule of ratio the smallest square will represent the chunk of ice I receive after the congealed necessity has been reduced to 40 cents. I have forgotten the geometric formula, dearie, but you get the drift. In other words, dearie, what difference does it make to a housekeeper who buys by the chunk whether ice is 60 cents or 40 cents?" As he had less than nine minutes to make the last express he had no time to discuss her demonstrations, but he admitted to his partner at luncheon that no woman was fit to be a housekeeper unless she was proficient in higher mathematics.

It's about time the poor little critter had some rest. I tell you what it is, if Mandy had washed its head with CUTICURA SOAP first-off, and put on some CUTICURA Ointment when her baby's head began to get crusted, she'd have saved herself heaps of trouble, and the poor little kid would have been a different being. Think of the days and nights Mandy's walked the floor with that baby. I ain't got no kind of patience with people that has to be told about a thing a hundred times before they begin to believe in the virtue of it. "Now, I told Mandy more'n three weeks ago about CUTICURA SOAP, and she knew just as well as you do, Liz, that we'd used it here going on five years or more, and that none of our family ever had a pimple, or any kind of irritation of the skin since we first begun using it. She was that contrary that I couldn't get her to try it on her baby, even though I offered to give her a cake of the soap and some of the ointment from our box. "But now she comes here about every day to thank me. Fact is, the youngster's head is as clean as a whistle, and her skin is just as pretty as you ever see on any baby." MOTHERS: Mothers, to know that a warm bath with CUTICURA SOAP, and a single anointing with CUTICURA, the great skin cure and purest of emollients, will afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep to both parent and child, and point to a speedy cure, in the most torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, crusted and scaly humors, rashes, and irritations, with loss of hair, and not to use them to fail in your duty. Think of the years of suffering entailed by such neglect. Cures made in childhood are speedy, permanent, and economical.
