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. Our candidate for the presidency in 1904 is Thomas B. Reed, formerly of Maine, now of New York City, if Senator J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, is not a candidate. Strange, President Roosevelt persists in refusing to withdraw the nomination of that lyncher, Koester, whom he appointed internal revenue collector for South Carolina. He did not know him then, but does now. The democratic leaders in congress threaten to do all sorts of things to impede the progress of the Crumpacker resolution when it comes up in the house. Nothing more than is expected. It must pass, nevertheless. The republican defeat in this city on Monday was another stinging defeat of Hanna and his friends who conducted the campaign. Last fall's defeat was number 1; Monday's was number 2. There can be no question as to this as it is notoriously true. The senior senator from Ohio, Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, announced some weeks ago that he was for President Roosevelt for the republican nomination for the presidency in 1904. That wipes out even a possibility of Ohio's "being solid for Hanna" (if he is a candidate). The editor of the New York Age will please take cognizance of this fact. That Alabama Afro-American, Will Reynolds, of Tusecumbia, who killed seven men—one the sheriff—and seriously wounded three or four others, all whites, while resisting arrest on Sunday afternoon, sold his life dearly indeed. He was finally burned to death in his home. The poor fellow evidently knew arrest meant death, and as a result, did what any other MAN would have done under the circumstances—defended his home and his life as best he could to the very last. The dispatches do not say why his arrest was desired. May his kind increase in the south, is our earnest prayer. However much the white press and persons of that class may publicly felicitate themselves as a result of the belief that the Afro-American, south or north, or both south and north, regards Mark Hanna as his friend, they are very much mistaken and very foolishly "jollying" themselves. They are not misleading a single intelligent, honorable and loyal member of the race, either. The race's experience with Hanna and McKinley is entirely too recent and distressing to be forgotten, if forgiven in the case of the latter. HANNA IS NOT NOR NEVER WAS A TRUE FRIEND OF THE AFROAMERICAN! As far as we are personally concerned, this is no news to us, because we learned it long ago, as the result of years of personal knowledge and experience with him. OLDEN THE SLANDERER. Rev. E. D. Olden, of Topeka, Kan., seems to be winning unenviable laurels from the southern press, owing to the vile sycophancy which he has so maliciously practiced in maligning his own race. It is said that he declared from his pulpit that: "The trouble with the Afro-American race is that it tries to push itself into intimate association with the whites. I believe in the Afro-American taking a lower seat, until he is ready to go higher. I'll tell you that the white race is made of the right kind of stuff, when it thinks more of its own than some one else's." To the intelligent Afro-American who is at all acquainted with the history of American life, it is well known that the above alleged statement is a cruel and vicious misrepresentation of the truth. If as a rule, or if at all, the race is seeking to push itself into intimate association with the whites, the evidence is not at hand. Afro-Americans are no more disposed to push themselves into the company of the whites than are the whites to do so. There may be existing certain business relations making it necessary for the former to have dealings with the latter, but it is an outrage upon all concerned to attribute to the Afro-American any greater desire of placing himself upon intimate terms. The Afro-American knows that he is regarded by many white men as inferior; then there must be a mutual aversion on the part of either race to be brought upon equal terms. The trouble with Rev. Olden is, that he is seeking to tickle the feelings of a class of whites who foster only hatred and prejudice to the race. He knows very well that the life and dealings of the Afro-American are interwoven in everything that is American, and he knows, too, that by virtue of such dealings the Afro-American is brought into relations which cannot be avoided. But preacher Olden knows a thing or two more. He knows that the so-called question of social equality is the mighty bug-bear of the southern whites, hence he panders to southern feeling as a means of mercenary gain. He de-duces his race, digs ditches for their ruin, while he feign would be the champion of their cause. Does Rev. Olden confess himself particeps criminis to the imputations laid to his own people? Certainly not. Then his charge is libelous and false, while it reflects a hypocrisy which is as black as it is infamous. Hounded, persecuted, tortured and killed the live-long day, the Afro-American has no time to be seeking unwelcome alliances against himself. If he can successfully make terms with his white brother and thereby enjoy a living chance, very good. But he knows the story of his thraldom and long years of oppression, and while he would importune his government for protection and an equal chance in the race of life, he very naturally must court the favor of the stronger powers—he must ingratiate himself into the favor of the ruling class, that he may find himself secure and protected from the dangers and perils of the hard conditions of American life. We say of Rev. Olden, as the lamented Lincoln once said: "He may fool the people sometimes, he may fool some of the people all of the time, but he cannot fool all of the people all the time." Our persecutors are ever ready to find reason to accuse and misrepresent the race, and it is just such vaporings as given out by Rev. Olden that do the race harm. Had the Rev. Olden said that like the BEST whites, we desire to emulate virtue and become like them in things pure, lovely and of good report, he would have expressed the truth; but when he toadies to the base and repulsive sentiment that Afro-Americans have no higher aspiration than that of forcing themselves into the homes of those who have been our greatest dread, he utters language which sooner or later must bring its reward. A FINE ISSUE. The May Number of the Delincuator Is That, and More. Too. The May number of The Delineator is the third of the great spring issues in both fashion and literary features and is the most notable of the season. With the many artistic designs for garments for late spring wear come advance summer fashions from the hands of eminent designers, and in attractiveness these styles have probably never been surpassed. An article of especial interest at this season is on graduation dresses. The literary contribution is "The Educational Value of Some Recent Plays," written by Norman Hapgood, the celebrated critic, and splendidly illustrated. Dr. Elliott's recollections of the child Patti, at the time of her first benefit, make one of the most delightful papers in the series of "Notable Women;" and in a different vein Clara E. Laughlin tells the story of the gifted Shelley's unfortunate marriage and its results. Two very pictorial as well as practical subjects are "Animal Photography," in which some most interesting records of animal life are presented directly from nature, and basket-ball, in the series of "Athletics for Women," the fine pictures being made from photographs from pictures taken during the play. For the children, Lina Beard introduces some new and interesting pastimes. The fiction is "The Hand of Providence," by Luellen Teters, and "The Tourney of Hunting Hill," by Harriet Riddle Davis, both of which are beautifully illustrated. CHURCH A NUISANCE. Ground on Which Judge Cantrill Stops the Building of One of Our Churches in Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky.-Judge Cantrill, of the state fiscal court, on Monday afternoon sustained the injunction case of adjoining property owners against the first African Baptist church of Frankfort to restrain it from building a church adjacent to the governor's mansion. Gov. Beckham, among other white citizens, protested against building the church, and the trustees employed ex-Chief Justice Hazelrigg and other eminent counsel to defend the case, which has been warmly contested since the trustees paid $4,000 for the lot and removed buildings from the property preparatory to laying the foundations in November, 1901. In rendering the decision Judge Cantrill holds the church to be a nuisance. The case will be appealed to the court of appeals, and lawyers say the case may be taken to the United States supreme court if the lower court is sustained. This is the greatest outrage of the age and all the result of racial prejudice. Going to Newark for Girls. Rendville, O.—Miss Jessie Hale, of Middleport, was the guest of Mrs. Samuel Allen at Corning last week. J. L. Jones was in Columbus recently. The recent storm played havoc in the oil fields here.

Johnson, C. Sandridge and Mrs. George White attended Mrs. Moore's funeral at Middleport Thursday. Rev. Merritt is visiting in Mechanicsburg.—W. A. Payne was in Athens Saturday.

John McKee, the wealthiest Afro-American in the city, if not in the country, is dead. His estate is estimated at about $1,500,000. At one time he owned more than 1,000,000 acres of land. He conducted a restaurant in this city until 1866, when he retired and engaged in extensive real estate operations. He was $1 years old. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1902. DEPLORABLE. Time for Action - Picayune Social Club's Entertainment - Easter Fittingly Observed. Peoria, Ill.—Picayune Social club gave an entertainment and ball April 2. The program consisted of several choice numbers. Dancing was engaged in until the small hours of morning. It was the swelest affair Peoria has witnessed for many years and everyone present seemed to enjoy the event.—Easter was observed by the A. M. E. church. A number of selections were rendered. They were appreciated by the large number present.—Mr. Henry Hughes, who went to Cottage hospital to be operated upon, is improving very rapidly and will soon be able to meet a host of friends who will be pleased to see him about again.—Mr. William Davis, who has been sick at his home for some time, was taken to the Cottage hospital on Monday night, owing to the severeness of his injuries.—The ladies of Mt.

In the Third ward there will be a warm contest. The trouble with some of our people here is that they will not stand for principles, but will sell their vote for a drink of whisky or a few cents, and it is deplorable and calls for immediate attention.

THE CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION Ministers Take Action Favorable to It-Rev. M. F. A. Easton a Loyal Race Man. Salem, O.—The members of the local Ministerial association with the exception of Rev. Cope, met Monday at the residence of Rev. W. F. McCauley. Several of the pastors present reported on matters that had been assigned to them for investigation. Rev. M. F. A. Easton (the only Afro-American member of the association) brought up the Crumpacker resolution, which is a measure now pending in the house of representatives at Washington, D. C., to investigate the election laws of the various states, to see if there has been any disfranchisement of voters, and it was discussed at some length. It was the sense of the association that the Ohio representatives in congress be asked to support the measure when it comes up for final action. The position of the association in regard to the resolution will be communicated to Congressman Tyler at once. This is a great victory for our minister, Rev. Easton, who has worked faithfully for the action taken, and entirely and most creditable indeed also to every other voter member of the association.

A Change Needed. If President Roosevelt is the courageous man whom we all believe him to be, he will see that the present United States district attorney in Georgia, who a few days ago referred to the colored firm of Pledger, Malone and Johnson, as "nigger attorneys" in open court, shall be removed from office. So far as we know, this is the first occasion on which such utterances have been made in court. Brother Pledger should not allow this outrage to go unchallenged and unpunished. This man should be removed from office. He is unfit to serve under any president, much less a republican president. Let us see whether the republican organization in Georgia has manhood enough to resent the insult and the president grit and backbone enough to make an example of the prejudiced scoundrel who uttered it.—Philadelphia Odd Fellows' Journal.

Will Have a Capital of $120,000,000-General Headquarters to be in St. Louis--Local Concerns to Make Their Own Selling Prices. New York, April 10.—Authoritative announcement of a consolidation of the great hardware jobbing interests of the country in a combination capitalized at $120,000,000 is made by the Iron Age in its issue to-day. The consolidation embraces the Simmons Hardware Co., of St. Louis; Bindley Hardware Co., of Pittsburg; William Bingham Co., of Cleveland; Supplee Hardware Co., of Philadelphia, and 46 other houses representing nearly every important trade center of the country. Negotiations are still pending with other houses, and it is expected that there will be further accessions to the number already enrolled in the combination. The Iron Age says: "The organization not being technically completed, there has been no formal choice of officers. The financing of the company is attended to by Moore & Schley, of New York, and George B. Hill & Co., of Pittsburg, Pa. It is intended to incorporate under the laws of New Jersey with a capital of $120,000,000—$40,000,300 preferred and $80,000,000 common stock. The general headquarters for buying and selling and transportation of goods will be in St. Louis. The eastern headquarters will be in New York City. "The principle of home rule will be recognized in connection with the local houses, who will make their own selling prices, except so far as this may interfere with the buying department or the expressed wishes of the manufacturers, which it will be the policy of the company to respect. Each house will be held responsible for the results of its business and if these are not satisfactory, the house will be closed up. "As at present constituted, it is estimated by the company that they embrace something like two-thirds of the distributing efficiency of the jobbing trade of the country in the hardware line. They are content that the other third should remain competitors, as it is not intended to monopolize the jobbing business." AN APPEAL. Will Try to Raise $5,000,000 for Re- Her of Boer Women and Children. Chicago, April 10.—The Gov. Yates Boer relief fund committee yesterday issued the following appeal to the public: "The entire population of the two South African republics at the beginning of the war was less than one-tenth that of the population of Cook county, Ill. This handful of people have for 30 months been at war with soldiers gathered from all over the world by Great Britain. For more than one year the women and children have been herded in reconcentrado camps, being thus deprived of all means of self-support. They are now totally dependent. One-half of the children are dead, but there is still time to help the other half. The mortality amongst the women has also been frightful. "We desire to collect $5,000,000 checks and drafts of one dollar each, from all parts of the United States, payable to Theodore Roosevelt, to be presented to him as a petition for such aid as he may be able to render these people, and as a practical and beneficent demonstration of the sympathy of the people of America for these reconcentrado camp sufferers. These checks and drafts should be sent to Peter Van Vlissingen, 172 East Washington street, Chicago." MURDER AND SUICIDE. Terrible Tragedy in a Washington State Home. Everett, Wash., April 10.—A shocking tragedy occurred last evening, when Mrs. Shepard R. Bucey, wife of the assistant cashier of the American national bank, killed her husband, their 4-year-old son and herself in a fit of insanity. In the parlor lay the form of Mrs. Bucey, shot through the heart. By her side was her 4-year-old boy, Eugene, with a bullet hole through his head. In the dining room adjoining the parlor was Mr. Bucey's body with two bullet holes behind the left ear. The most reliable account of the tragedy is told by a servant, Elizabeth McNulty, who said: "I was in the kitchen when Mrs. Bucey fired the first shot. I started in, but seeing her approaching with a smoking revolver I returned to the kitchen, where Mr. Bucey's mother was with the 18-months-old baby. With the second shot the old lady started into the room, when Mrs. Bucey ran up to her husband and fired two shots through his head. His mother cried out, 'Oh, she has killed my boy.' She then killed herself. There was no cause which I can imagine that would cause the tragedy." Suicided in a Cemetery. Minneapolis, Minn., April 10.—Just as her husband entered the gates of St. Anthony's cemetery yesterday, where she had summoned him, Mrs. Annie Schlosa, standing among the graves, fired a bullet into her head with fatal result. She had been missing since the evening before, after a quarrel with her mother, and nothing could be learned of her whereabouts until she telephoned her husband at his place of business, asking him to meet her at the cemetery. He hastened to the place, and as she saw him approaching, she shot herself, Receipts Exceeded Expenditures. Washington, April 10.—The largest quarterly receipts in the history of the postal service are recorded for the three months ended January 1 last, figures for which have just been completed.

Pretoria, April 10.—The British authorities are making preparations for a great series of "drives" on the arrival of reinforcements.

Brown and Mrs. A. I. Williams, respectively. The last two were the means of adding the names of 150 Afro-American women to the registration list. The editor of The Gazette received from Mrs. Edwardina M. Grant an invitation to attend the commencement exercises of the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical college Wednesday evening at Epworth Memorial M. E. church, Willson avenue and Prospect street. Owing to a previous engagement the editor was unable to attend. Mrs. Catherine Avery, wife of Elroy M. Avery, for many years a teacher in the Central High school of this city, spoke very highly and at some length of the editor of The Gazette at the political meeting held in Metropolitan Band hall last week Wednesday evening. She was one of his teachers and is perhaps the leading active lady of the other race in this city. Mr. Poindexter Black, who recently opened the fine restaurant in the block at the southeast corner of Central avenue and Greenwood street, is doing a splendid business, as he deserves to. Mr. and Mrs. Black are courteous and genial, and furnish the best of everything in an up-to-date style at most reasonable rates. Our people should take pride in patronizing them. Wm. H. Clifford ("Little Willie") arrived last week from Washington, where he holds a clerkship in the departments, for the purpose of helping republicans carry last Monday's election. This doubtless accounts for the unfortunate result of the election (at least in part) as far as the party is concerned. "Wee Willie" entertained a few of his political friends at a stag Monday evening. Wonder if Charley Black of the Z club was present? Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burch, of Oil City, Pa., have sold the property on Laurel street, occupied by their daughter, Mrs. George Miller, and purchased the residence at No. 463 Central avenue, where they will reside and open a first-class lodging and boarding house. Mr. and Mrs. Burch are splendid business people of years' experience, and are quite an addition to our population of this city. We wish them every success. See their advertisement elsewhere in this paper. The Young Ladies' Loyalty club, composed only of the young ladies of Shiloh church, was formed recently for the purpose of giving entertainments to raise funds in the interest of the church. The following officers were elected: Miss Esther G. Irving, president; Mrs. Fred Louis, vice; Miss Mattie Curtis, secretary; Miss Maud Smith, assistant secretary and treasurer; Miss Susie Tucker, chaplain. Their motto is, "Laugh at discouragement and press onward." If the young ladies keep that motto before them all the time, there is no doubt but that unqualified success will be theirs. Last Sunday afternoon's "pop" concert was another gem—most creditable indeed to the participants and the manager, Mr. Conrad Mizer. Mr. J. C. Beevar, soloist for the occasion, played three numbers, one with orchestral accompaniment and in a masterly manner. He is a pianist far above the average. Next Sunday, in addition to the orchestral numbers, Mrs. Lester Sehon, a fine soprano, will sing "Elsa's Dream" from "Lohengrin," and two of the three Machan "tots," very small and young children, will play on the piano Mendelssohn's Wedding March arranged as a duet, and the thrid will play a solo by Mozart, all three joining in a festival march by Behr, arranged as a trio. Mr. Douglass, formerly of Chicago and Kansas, of the Grain Binder Co., seems to have located in this city. Another meeting was held at Shiloh church Wednesday evening for the purpose of "raising money to pay the expenses of a Mrs. Harris, who went with Mr. Douglass to Washington" recently. We advise our people to stop putting money into the Grain Binder Co. or raising money for Mr. Douglass or any one concerned with him, until he patents the grain binder, as he promised and failed to do over a year ago. Enough money in the purchase of stock and for other purposes has been raised in Cleveland for him and his alleged invention to warrant more and better results than he has seen fit to give the investors and contributors up to date. A very pleasant Easter party was given by Misses Annie Howard and Daisy Noble at Mr. and Mrs. Howard's, 236 N. Perry street. The following were present: William N. Alexander and Miss A. Reed, Garfield Martin and Luella Alexander, William Akins and Lilly Brooks, Walter Jackson and Flora Corum, Fred Wicklift and Lulu Noble, Eugene Howard and Pertha Williams, George R. Alexander and M. Hamens, A. Hamens and Lucy Stewart, Claude Akins and Pearl Henderson, Joseph Jackson and Edith Berry, and Messrs. William Brown, Grant Russell, Elmer Riddle, Edward Sweet, James Brown, Dennis Fowler, Charles Scott, George Jackson. William N. Alexander acted as chaperone. There were games and dancing. Refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Corum, of Glenville, were also present. The first Johnson Colored Democratic club held an enthusiastic mass meeting at Woodliff hall last week Friday evening. Walter L. Brown, president of the board of directors, was master of ceremonies. Mr. Starr Cadwallader, Mrs. Amelia Whitaker, Mr. Gehring and others delivered addresses. In accordance with the invitation of Mr. Brown "Little Willie" Clifford addressed the gathering. Among the many things he said which elicited the ridicule of his audience was that he ("Little Willie") came THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1902. ALL THE WAY from Washington to bend his efforts and use his voice in the Fourth district councilmanic fight that the Afro-American voter should support none but the "Grand Old Republican Ticket," that the Cleveland park system was in the worst condition of its history and that he didn't see any reason for the Afro-American supporting the democratic ticket, etc. Eubanks, Marshall and others of the Clifford band wagon were present to lend a helping hand. W. T. Webb was called upon next. He refuted "Little Willie's" assertions in an able manner. He said that the reason he (Little Willie) and others don't know anything but to support the "G. O. P." ticket was, they are just as the poet says, "Wise men change their minds, but fools never do," and furthermore the Afro-American has never been in a position to expect recognition from the democratic party because they have never given them their support. Sidney Thompson and others of the club spoke.

The following clipped from the correspondence columns of the Eau Claire, (Wisconsin) Leader, is but one of many letters of a similar character that might be published concerning Western Canada, the land of No. 1 Hard Wheat and the best cattle on the continent. It is a simple matter to reach the lands spoken of, the Canadian Government having agencies established at St. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota; Grafton. North Dakota; Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indianapolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Columbus, Ohio, and by writing to or calling upon any of these Agents at these points full information can be secured. This is a great opportunity to secure a home free of cost or if you desire to purchase lands; they can be bought now at prices much lower than will exist in a few months. But read what the correspondent referred to has to say of one particular district. To the Editor of the Leader: "The rush of the land seekers will be to the prairie provinces of the Dominion of Canada. The allurements of a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre are too great to be resisted, and an immense migration from this country may be confidently predicted. People here laughed at first at the idea of any one leaving the United States for Canada, but the Dominion authorities knew they had a good thing and they stuck to it. Their officials evidently knew the value of printer's ink. They spared no expense in letting the people of this country know that these lands were there and that they were exactly as represented. They did more. They sent out specimens of the crops raised and samples of the grain. We had them here at four consecutive street fairs, presided over by one of their ablest immigration officers. This gentleman spared no paths. He explained the value of the lands and the richness of the soil from morning to night to all comers. "All this told in the long run. Several went up from here to spy out the land, and, like Caleb, the son of Jepunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, brought back a good report, and now some ten families will leave here in a few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon farms there, and others are preparing to follow. Of course many will appear shocked at the idea of any one leaving the stars and stripes for the Union Jack, but patriotism is but a nomenclature after all, and our experience has been that in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand, a man is the most patriotic where he can make the most money and do the most harm to those whom he hates."

In pearl gray, willow green and, soft dove color these are suitable for dressy toilette and dust cloaks. Favorite trimmings for alpaca are coarse cream lace—Irish or Venetian point for preference—and ecru applique with an edging of gold thread. Foulards in silk, and in their excellent cotton counterfeits, are prettier than ever, and are especially suited for wear in this month of tears and smiles. Rose-pink in rather a deep shade is charming in foulard, trimmed lace insertion and knots of black velvet ribbon. Delaines, in exquisite colorings and designs, are not only stylish for dresses, but are much used for blouses, of which the narrow turnover collars and cuffs are fashioned of hemstitched or lace-edged silk, matching the prominent shade in the pattern. All transparent fabrics over silk will be much worn. Sometimes the silk underslip is of a contrasting shade, such as green under pink, yellow under mauve, etc. Very beautiful are the clinging English-made crepes, with satin striped cream background, on which are printed clusters of lovely pink roses, chrysanthemums or honeysuckle.

Dress skirts made of diaphanous materials are often gauged at the back, or flat plaits employed to give substance to the back width. There is less tucking on skirts, but more flounces and frills. For country and morning wear short all-round skirts with boleros of square-cut pretensions, or with simulated basques, are seen in light tweed, covert coating, linen, pique and drill. Blouses, or rather slips, as they are termed, are daintiness personified in fancy and embroidered muslin, and especially in black, white and cream d'esprit net. A net blouse in the latter shade looks delightful made with quarter-inch tucks and yoke of cream lace across which are bretelles of black ribbon velvet with a tiny gold clasp in the center of each. Then sewn at intervals over the bodice and sleeves are black lace butterflies. Black net slips have appliques of cream lace for garmiture. The mixture of black with cream or white is very modish; and pale blue—real Cambridge blue—is one of the spring colors, and is seen in all dress goods, and also in millinery. A note of black is usually introduced with it. Green also, in the shade of tender leaf green, promises to be very popular. It has a silvery bloom on it that is very soft and becoming. Full neck ruffles of chiffon, net and tulle fasten at the neck with long streamers of black ribbon velvet. Some are furnished with a wide frill.

All the smaller yet now essential dress accessories are very pretty, and much skill is expended on their manufacture. Narrow collar and cuff bands are made of lace or finely embroidered muslin, and used to decorate cotton and silk blouses. These trifles are easily fashioned by the home worker, as well as embroidered waist belts and sashes. There is also ample scope for the artist to achieve beautiful decorative effects in the painting of satin, muslin, chiffon and lace. Transparent lace yokes and collars are worn. These should be lined always with white chiffon, as it makes the skin look whiter, and also affords more portfection from the too ardent attentions of King Sol. Dress collars are generally soft and dainty looking, or, more often than not, are conspicuous by their absence. Silk petticoats have deep flounces of muslin and lace made to button on, so that they are easily removed for the laundress. The petticoat worn should, if possible, tone with the predominating color in hat or costume. For instance, a pale blue hat, trimmed with black, and costume of the two colorings, would be worn with a pale blue underskirt. Thus one could have flounces of different colors to fasten on to the same upper skirt. Cream lace veils are la mode, worn either as a veil pure and simple or draped carelessly round the brim of the hat to end in a cachepeigne drooping over the hair. The smartest sailor hats have cream lace veils draped on the brim. MARIE BAYARD. Why Everybody Laughed. A Baltimore lady donned an $15 new hat for a promenade and wondered why the first admiring glances on the street were changed to stares.

Spring Fever is Spring Catarrh. Peruna Cures Catarrh. Lena Hilton A Beautiful Club Woman's Recovery. Los Angeles, Cal., 539 S. Olive street, May 5, 1901. Gentlemen:—"I suffered with pain in my right side for over eight years. Doctors said my liver was affected. My complexion was dark and yellow, I had a bad taste in my mouth, and was tired all the time. I took a great deal of medicine, but nothing seemed to do me any good. I read in the paper of Peruna, and decided to give it a trial. I felt better before the first bottle was gone, and after taking three bottles I was cured, and I have enjoyed perfect health since." LENA HILTON. As a spring medicine Peruna is a never failing remedy. It cleanses the blood through digestion, and gives tone to the whole system by increasing the nutritive value of the food. "Spring fever," as it is sometimes called, which produces a tired out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do much mental or physical work, is the result of a sluggish digestion. The great popularity that Peruna has is due to the fact that in all such cases it at once corrects digestive derangements and enriches the blood by purifying this very important source of that vital fluid. Mrs. J. E. Finn, 82 East High street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "A few years ago I had to give up social life entirely, as my health was completely broken down. The doctor advised a complete change and rest for a year. As this was out of the question for a time, I began to look around for other means of restoring my health. "I had often heard of Peruna as an excellent tonic, so I bought a bottle to see what it would do for 223, and it certainly took hold of my system and rejuvenated it, and in less than two months I was in perfect health, and now when I feel worn out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all that I need." MRS. J. E. FINN. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
