D. L. Werguson used on our first page to- day. ' ey ‘ Wor more than twenty years The Gazette has been issued regularly VERY WEEK and ON TIME. Its wecord and reputation is known the ‘country over and appreciated. While you are enjoying yourself during these holidays, occasionally call your @riends’ attention to these few facts. | ‘The National Suffrage convention Mheld recently in Washington, D. C, wnly weakened itself with our people igenerally by “squabbling” over an en- idorsement of the Roosevelt admini- stration. That is the one thing it ‘should have done without discussion tbeyond that necessary to politely in- Zorm the president that Booker T- Washington's counsel on all else save findustrial education in the south, swas not best for the race. i ee ! he National Republican commit- ttee at its recent meeting in Washing- tton, D. C., appointed a committee “ta Anvestigate the question of guaran. teeing the rights of Negro citizens.” ‘This committee consists of George F. Sheldon, New York; Myron T. Her fick, Ohio; J. E. Addicks, Delaware; J. G. Capers, South Carolina; J. W. Gyons, Georgia and is all right except that democrat, Capers, whom Chair- man Hanna appointed and has re. stained a member of the National Re- (publican committee in spite of the protests of the republican orgahize- ‘tion of South Carolina. ‘ George Dixon, so long feather ‘weight champion of the world only to lose it about three years ago to ‘Terry McGovern whom Young Cor- Mett vanquished, has in recent months whipped Pedlar Palmer and “all the English pugilists of note in This class, and is coming back to ‘America to attempt to regain the feather-weight championship. This fis not improbable from the fact that tthe present champion and other lead- fing feather-weight pugilists here Ihave outgrown (gotten too heavy for) their class. Stranger things have thappencd too. . WHAT NEXT? » " (United States Marshal Simmons of the Southern district of Alabama, hhas made public his resignation ten- dered to President Roosevelt. Sim- mons holds that the color line is drawn in favor of the Negro and that the door of hope is closed to the white man and he therefore tenders his resignation as marshal of the southern district of Alabama. What folly! what blindness! and indeed what supreme hypocrisy. Simmons is certainly seeking to make a point ‘or to pose as a sort of a martyr to some childish whim which renders him an object of commiseration rather than of respect. Poor white men struggling to earn bread for their families nted to know what they are doing. They as well as others of the laboring and depend- ent class, need to reflect and deter- mine well their line of action before giving up a good job to become loaf- ers and see their families suffer. But Gimmons held a position which no \Afro-American holds under this gov- ‘ernment today. His position was a lucrative one, of which’ any honor- ble and intelligent Afro-American would be proud. But Simmons gives wup his position because he conceives in his mind some “oolish idea that ithe president is friendly to the Ne- -gro. But what else should the presi- dent be? White men ever ‘since we “beeame a nation have been professing ‘Kindly interest in our people. Then ‘why does Mr, Simmons whine and fhecome indignant at what the presi- dent has done? Is it that others have theen ‘less sincere and that Mr. Roose- welt is disposed to act upon what he Y s? Is it really so that Mr. Sens maintains that high integ- sity of his great soul and means to prove himself a man of deeds as well jas of words? But does not Mr. Sim- gmons render himself supremely ridic- ‘lous «nd foolish*in the attitude he thas taken in this matter? He held ‘an office and was receiving an ample eompensation for his services, The wery position which he held may seem to indicate that he was favored son of the republic. Then where is his point and what is his motive ror the he presumes to play? Does it become the tool of some wily poli- tician who is attempting to play his hand ogainst the administration? Meit-do these things ss is well known} yet they do them for some didden gactive. Itis no argument at all that the line is drawn sgainst white men THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1904. when in fact they hold all the fat, places. Is Mr. Simmons crazy? Is. he a knave or is he both? Like the dog crossing the stream with the bone in his mouth, he spied the shadow of that bone upon the water. That dog let loose his bone and grapped at the shadow Simmons has lost. (ete THE NEW YEAR, Every new year marks the begin- ning of a brighter and more glorious era in the life of man, or one of less achieved worth and fame. But it de- pends upon ourselves, whether we shall move on to nobler things or re- linquish our endeavor= to win the goal. It is not enough to share in the triumphs of the past nor to con- : tent ourselves with advantages al- ready attained. The age is still ad- vancing and we must keep step with the onward tread of the moving mil- lions. Onward must be the watch- word of the hour. We must profit by the past, we must grow in every- thing that is helpful to the cause of humanity and the werld. We live in a dark and desolate earth burdened with the sins of the poor and deluded of Adam’s race. But we live for no- ble lives, Invention, discovery, and science are evidenced in proof that the natural tendency of mankind is to develop whatever faculties are of- fered in the intellectual, moral and physical life. To utilize and develop the means of grace incident to our condition is the mission, to which all men are called. But do we realize this trath and are we fully conscious that to develop every favorable means that we are strictly answer- able to him, who is the giver of every godd and perfect gift? Dur- ing the last gear, thousands of clever people were wholly indifferent in regard to their own mumner of life. ‘They put off for tomorrow what Should have been done today. Such seems to be the universal ten- dency of human nature, so that the new is too often lost in absolute for- getfulness of what is promised in the future. But “Now is the accepted time,” says the written word. God has signified his will and intention in his own spoken word and if we would grow in the ways of wisdom and righteousness, we must improve the time which is ours. The mew year is upon us and if we mean \to make hallowed our opportunities, we must start out with renewed energy and zeal, and press the battle to the gate. ‘Trust no future, howe’er pleasant, (Let the dead past bury the dead, Act, ACT in the living present, Heart within and God clerhead. Oh! we wonld that ‘every living mortal could more fully realize the yalue of time and conld amore justly appreciate his responsibility to his maker. Think you, dear meader, that coming years would mot exceed the peace and happiness of ‘the time al- ready spent? Think you, that the arth im all its bitterness, sorrow and woe would not enjoy a sweet respite from the cgndemnation which so often overtakes us in our folly and moral blindness? The present new year is a blessed offering to the chil- dren of earth. It dispels the sad murmurings, which are heard in the darkness, and felt in every guilty conscience, uttering loud these words: “Ye knew your duty, but ye did it not" There is a promise of re- ward for us all in all / succeeding years. The star of hope leads on to the better-coming day. How rich in all that is precious, is the hope, that inspires the soul of him, who perse- veres and presses forward to nobler life! To our patrons and_ loved friends and to those who feél with us a brother's care, we offer fond greetings, wishing you a Joyous and happy New Year. Let the New Year awaken all of us to higher resolves, when other years shall in marvelous rapture and melody welcome us to the general jubilee, where Wwe shall find seasons of rest and triumph in eternity, where angels shall tell of promises fulfilled in the matchless glories of God, our father.

Six Hundred People Perished in the Iroquois Theatre. It was an Awful Catastrophe--- Women and Children Fatally Burned in Their Seats. Hundreds of People Trampled to Death in the Wild Rush to Es- cape from the Burning Building---Explosions of Gas Added Terror to the Dreadful Scene. “hieago, Dec, 31.— About 550 people were killed in ten minutes Wednes- day afternoon during a fire in the Iroouois Theatre, the newest, the largest and as far as human power could made it, the safest theatre in Chicago. Estimates of the dead and injured vary. The police account of the dead is 36. The estimate of the newspapers is 562. Besides this there are 55 people missing, the majority of whom are probably among the dead in the morgue and various undertak- ing establishments. Eighty-six of the dead have been positively identified and 92 others are known to be in jured. A few of these people were burned to death by fire, many were suffo- cated by gas, and scores were tram- pled to death in the panic that fol- lowed the mad plunge of the fright- ened audience for the exits. ‘There are ‘bodies lying by the dozens in thé undertaking rooms, in the police stations, and in the hos- pitals from which nearly everything that could reveal their identity to those who kkew them best is gone. Their clothing is torn to rags or burned to cifders and their faces jhave been trampled into an unrecog- nizable pulp by the heels of the crowd that trampled them down as they fled for safety. ‘The fire broke out during the sec- ond act of the play “Mr. Blue Beard,” which was the first dramatic produc- tion given in the theatre since its erection. The company, which was very large, escaped to the street in safety, nearly all of them, however, being compelled to flee into the snowy streets with no clothing but their stage cestumes. A few mem- bers of the company sustained minor injuries. |The accounts of the orlgin of the fire are conflicting and none of them certain, but the best reason given is that an electric wire near the lower part of a piece of drop scenery sud- denly broke and was grounded. The fire spread*rapidly toward the front of the stage, causing the members of the chorus who were then engaged in the performance to flee to the wings with screams of terror. The fire up to this time was not serious and probably could have been check- ed had not the abestos curtain failed to work. As soon as the fire was dis- covered, Eddie Foy, the chief com- edian of the ,eompany, shouted to lower the ‘cuffsin, and this wes im- mediately done. It descended about half way and then stuck. , ‘The fire thus was given practically a flue through which a strong draft was setting, aided by the doors which had been thrown open in the front of the theatre. With a roar and a bound, the flames shot through the opening over the heads of the people on the first floor and reaching clear up to those in the first balcony, caught them and burned them to death where they sat. Immediately following this rush of flames there came an explosion which lifted the entire roof of the theatre from its walls, shattering the great skylight into fragments. As soon as the flames first appeared be- yond the curtain a man in the rear of the hall shouted “Fire! iret” and the entire audience rose as one person and made for the doors. It is believed that the explosion was caused by the flames coming in | contact with the gas reservoirs of the | theatre, causing them to burst. As near as can be estimated about | 2,800, people were in the theatre ‘Three hundred of these were on the first floor, the balance being in the two upper balconies and in the hall- ways back of them. ‘The theatre is modelled after the Opera Comique.in Paris and from the rear of each balcony there are three doors leading out to passageways to- ward the front of the theatre. Two of these doorways are at the end ot the baleony and one in the center The audience in its rush for the outer air seems to have, for the greater part, chosen to flee to the left en- |trance and to attempt to make its | way down the eastern stairway lead- ing into the lobby of the theatre. Outside of the people burned and suffocated by gas, it was in these two doorways on the first and second bal- conies that the-greatest loss of life occurred. When the firemen entered the building the*dead were founc stretched in a pile reaching from the head of the stairway at least eight feet from the door, back to a point about five feet in the rear of the door. This mass of dead bodies in_ the center of the doorway reached to within two feet of the top of the passageway. All of the corpses at this point were women and children. The fight for life which must have taken place at these two points is something that is simply beyon¢ | human power adequately to describe Only a faint idea of its horror could be derived from the aspect of the bodies as they lay. Women on top of these masses of dead had been over: taken by death as they were crawling on their hands and knees. over the bodies of those who had died be fore. 7 Others lay with arms stretched out in the direction toward which lay life and safety, holding in their hands fragments of garments not NED TRO TN ee Me ree | ‘fhree Mem are Cremated. — ee ® oe he See, Merny gee Tlough, aged 89 years, the nestor of the kenssalaer county bar and the last survivor of the class of 1834 of Dartmouth College; William Shaw, head of the law firm of Shaw, Bailey & Murphy, and Benjamin W.

Although the doomed men were seen at the windows, nothing “could be done to save them,.s9. dense was the smoke and so rapid the progress of the flames. The loss is $55,000. their own. They were evidently torn from the clothing of others whom they had endeavored to pull down and trample under foot as they fought for their own lives, As the police removed layer after layer of dead in these doorways, the sight be- came too much even for police and firemen, who were hardened to such scenes, to endure, ‘There were women whose clothing was torn completely from their bodies above the waist, whose bosoms had been trampled in- to a pulp and whose faces were mar- red beyond all power of identifica- tion, Bodies lay in the first and second balconies in great numbers. In sone places they were piled up in the aisles three and four deep, where one had fallen and others tripped over the prostrate forms, and all had died where they lay, evidently suffocated by the gas. Others were bent over backs of seats where they had been thrown by the rush of people for the doors and killed with hardly a chance to rise from their seats. In the aisles nearest to the doors the scenes were harrowing in the ¢x- treme. Bodies lay in every corceiv- able attitude half naked, the look on their faces revealing some portion of the agony which must have preceded their death. ‘There were scores and scores of people whose entire face had been trampled completely off by the heels of those who rushed over them and in one aisle the body of a man was found with not a vestige of clothing, flesh or bone remaining above his waist line. The entire upper portion of his body had been cut into mincemeat and carried away by the feet of those who trampled him. A_ search was carefully made with a hope of finding his head, but at a late hour last night it had not been discovered and all that will ever tell his friends who he was is the color and appear- ance of his clothing on the lower limbs and this is in such a condition as to be hardly recognizable. ‘The theatre had been constructed but a short time and all its equip- ment was not yet in place, This was unfortunately the case with a fire es- cape in the rear of the building. The small fron balconies to which the iron ladder was to be attached were up, but the ladder had not yet been constructed. When the panic was at its height a great number of women ran for these fire escapes, only to find as they emerged from the door- way up on the little iron platform, that they were 30 to 50 feet from the ground, a fire behind and no eseape in front. ‘Those who reached the platform first endeavored to hold their footing and to keep back the crowd that pressed upon them from the rear. ‘The effort was utterly useless and in a few moments the iron ledges were jammed with crowds of women who screamed, fought and tore at each other like maniaes. This lasted but a brief interval, and the rush from the interior of the building became so violent that many of them were crowded off and fell to the granite- paved alley below. Others leaped from the platform, fracturing legs and arms and two were picked up at this point with fractured skulls, hav- ing been killed instantly. ‘The building in which the calamity occurred stands midway between State and Dearborn streets on the north side of Randolph street, Although all the patrol wagons and every ambulance owned by the city was pressed into service, they were utterly inadequate to carry away the dead and in a short time there was a line of corpses 50 feet long piled two and three high on the sidewalk in front of the theatre. Doctors and trained nurses were on the ground by the score within ‘half an hour after the extent of the jealamity was known, and every wounded person who was carried om the building receiving prompt medical aid) A number of doctors ‘waited at the entrance to the theatre ‘with stethescopes in hand and as soon as a body which looked as though it might possess life was car- ried out, it was at once examined and if dead placed on the pile lying on the sidewalk. The others were at once placed in ambulances and whirled away to hospitals or to the offices of physicians in the immedi- ate neighborhood. While scores of men were busy car- rying out the dead and injured, others, fortunately few in number, searched the aisles and seats/for val- uables. Two men were found who had provided themselves with baskets and were filling them with the prop- erty of the dead. They were immedi- ately arrested and the theatre ushers and stage hands were given the work of collecting all the valuables on the floor of the theatre. During the evening the police arrested over a dozen men accused of being thieves and pickpockets. The Iroquois Theatre was com- pleted less than two months ago at a cost of $500,000 and was the finest playhouse in Chicago. It was opened to the public on the night of Novem- ber 23 with “Mr. Blue Beard.” _ It had a total seating capacity of 4,724 chairs, with plenty of standing room on each floor. The balgony had seatings for 475 persons, | MMiiners Strike, Hazleton, Pa., Dee. 31.—Operations at the Silver Brook colliery of J. S.

BAD NEGROES. wo of Them Narrowly Escape Being Lynched at Council Bluffs, ta. Counell Bluffs, Ia., Dec. 30.—Neely Zimmerman and George Burke, the negroes who on Monday night nar- rowly'escaped lynching at the hands of an infuriated mob, were last night taken to the state penitentiary at Fort Madison, Ia., for safe keeping. During the afternoon the men were taken before Judge Wheeler and waived preliminary examination. The judge then signed an order for their removal. ‘The men were hastily spirited away and Sheriff Cousins left with them on the first train for Fort Madison. a During the day Sheriff Cousins learned of an organized plan to lynch Zimmerman and Burke last night and again made a request for a com- pany of militia to guard the county jail and arranged for a heavy force of city police to assist in'case their services. were required. Feeling against the prisoners increased and during the afternoon small groups of men gathered in the vicinity of the jail to discuss the matter, Sheriff Cousins then decided that the safer course was to remove the men from the city and applied for an order of removal. Four assaults within a week similar to those made on Mrs. Sparks and her daughter had wrought up the working people of the city to a pitch of feverish excitement and this feel4 ing was freely voiced on every cor- ner. Monday night’s experience and yesterday's developments were suffi- cient to lead the authorities to the belief that a bold attempt would be made ‘by a well organized mob to lynch the negroes, and they then de- cided to avoid all trouble by remov- ing the cause for a repetition of the Cem e WILL NOT ARBITRATE. Chicago Liverymen Reject a Proposal Made by Strikers. Chicago, Dec. 30.—A positive re- fusal to arbitrate was the decision of the joint associations of liverymen last night on the proposal submitted by the striking livery drivers. The strikers asked that the adjustment of the whole difficulty be placed in the hands of former members of the Chicago board of arbitration. The reason given by the livery owners for their refusal of the proposition of the men was that the selection of the arbiters by the drivers gave the employers no voice in the matter. Many desertions trom the union were reported yesterday, At the headquarters of the Liverymen’s as- sociation it was claimed that fully. 60 strikers had applied for their old jobs and had heen put back to work, Sued for 8405,.000, New York, Dec. 30.—Proceedings to recover $405,000 damages for the sinking of the steamer Kiowa in Bos- ton harbor by the steamer Admiral Dewey on December 26 were begun here Tuesday when proctors for the Clyde Steamship Co., owners of the Kiowa, filed in the United States dis- trict court a libel against the Amer- fcan Steamship Co., owners of the Admiral Dewey. The proctors ask for $300,000 for the loss of the Kiowa, $100,000 for its cargo, and $5,000 for the effects of its officers and crew. ‘The libelants charge that the Admiral Dewey's officers were responsible for the loss of the Kiowa.

OUTLOOK FOR 1904. Ce ee tions—Country Stronger Financially” ‘Than Five Years Ago—Satistactory Business may be Looked For. New York, Dec. 31.—In its annuab review of the business year of 1903, Bradstreets says: Nineteen hundred and three was year of irregularity in speculation, distributive trade ‘and industry—im some cases of severe strains vari- ously applied and as differently with- stood. As the residuary legatee of ab least five years of great prosperity, ‘it had to bear cumulative effects of previous years’ mistakes, and at the ‘same time to earry burdens having” their inception in the year itself. Yet the tests were well withstood and, while excess occurred, the course of events so far has proved that, the general trade foundation ‘was essentially sound, and that the structure reared upon it was‘in the main well built. Summarizing the year’s develop~ ments, the review calls attention to the excellent condition of trade and industry during the first quarter and the multiplication of labor troubles. ‘during the second quarter, June & seeing the largest number of mew out of employment in many years. Building construction at many large cities was checked, and it was prac~ tically at.a standstill at New York. throughout the summer. The high price of cotton caused the more or less constant idleness of 2,000,000 spindles and 100,000 operatives in the middle of the year, while reductions in wages of many thousands of work- ers in the last months Impaired the: purchasing ability of the industrial element. It is with a chastened spirit, coupled with some doubt, the review concludes, that the business commun- ity awaits the developments of 1904. Unsatisfactory conditions are suffi- ciently widespread to take away some of the buoyant feeling with. which the advent of recently preced— ing years has been contemplated: Efforts to revise costs of productiom. and readjustments to meet changed demand and supply conditions have made good progress. ‘The presidential campaign may be unsettling, though not, as in pre- vious years, a source of financial dis- quiet. The strength of the agricul tural interest makes for confidence in good trade in the country's basic industry. Building operations bear a better appearance. Free exports of excess manufactures and minerals: are to be expected, but as yet no evi- dences exist of overproduction, Up to the middle of 1903 the country had been traveling at a swift pace, but no marked signs of over extension are visible. Moreover, tie United States: of today is in a far stronger position: than it was ten, or even five years. ago, and we owe less abroad tham ever before. There are still some cloud shadows, but the barometer” has begun to rise, and the commer- cial world may expect a fairly satise factory business. BOODLERS BUSY. More Evidence as to Crooked Work: by the School Board of Kansas City, Kan. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 31.—Further’ evidence of boodling on the part of members of the board of educatiom of Kansas City, Kan., was presented before the grand jury yesterday. George McL. Miller testified, it is: said, that another member of the: board had agreed to secure for the agent of a Chicago book firm, for a bribe of $700, the contract for supply- ing the public schools of the city with books. George Morrison is said to have tes- tified that when he tried to sell the board of education a site for a schook building for $3,000, agreeing to divide: his commission, that the member told: him that he came too late. Later another real estate man sold the same site to the board for $4,000. Mr. Morrison also testified that he had paid rebates on insurance to a clerk of the board. An Important Decision. Pittsburg, Dec. 31—In the United States circuit court yesterday Judge Acheson handed down an opinion im the case of William Doyle vs. the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. which will be far-reaching in its effect. In. the opinion Judge Acheson virtually says that a railroad company is re~ sponsible for the full value of goods: lost in transit, notwithstanding the printing of a clause on the face of the bill of lading calling for a maxi- mum allowance for release, unless the agreement as to value shall have: been made between the railroad and the shipper, and also agreement as to: freight rate, and the signature of the: shipper secured to the agreement. A Republican Love Feast. Indianapolis, Dec. 31.—Republicans: from every section of Indiana at- tended the annual “love feast” of the: party in this state yesterday. Sena- tor Charles W. Fairbanks made a brief address in which he said he had no doubt that President Roosevelt. would complete the work of the isthmian canal without any act of na- tional dishonor, although his way is beset by serious embarrassments. Senator Beveridge also spoke. Explosion in a Brewery. Quincy, Ill, Dee. 31—By an explo sion of a rice cooker in the main building of the Dick Brewing Co. yes- terday the building was almost com- pletely wrecked.

Lockett, the con- fessed counterfeiter arrested at- Leavenworth and containing ten pounds of melted silver, was found. yesterday in his room on a farm north of Atchison where Lockett had worked as a farm hand.

The fifth educational session of the Loyal Legion of Labor at Cory chapel last Sunday. evening was even more poorly attended than the fourth ses- sion at St. Andrew’s chureh, The or- ganization has clearly “lost ground” in the last few weeks. This is pos- sibly due to the absence in Toledo of Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, the supreme royal master, and the non-appearance of the Loyal Legion Educator and ether literature of the order which had a tendency to’ keep alive an in- terest. that now seems dormant throughout northern Ohio at least. ‘Among the persons whose names were presented for tndorsement as candidates at the little “Black Tam- many” meeting of last week were: W. H. Patterson, W. E. Beidleman, J. E. Edwards, John Brock, and Sam Moore. It is said, Mr. Edwards is not.a member of any of the clubs. The little “Black Tammany” had things its own way at its meeting last week in ‘Woodliff hall. The “Grafters” were represented by dele- gates who refused to participate. This, because their alleged organiza- tion, the so-called Twelfth ward Re- publican league (club), was limited to a small representation, a few delegates in the meeting, and other clubs were likewise treated, while the Central Republican league (club), better known as the little “Black Tammany,” voted its entire mem- bership present, on all questions. The result was that two “Tammany” members, John Brock and Sam Moore, were indorsed for porterships in the house of representatives at Columbus and none of the other clubs received any recognition whatever. ‘This has caused no end of soreness in the East End Republican club, the “Grafters” and one or two minior or- ganizations, The “Grafters” are quiet- ly booming. one of their members with a view to knocking out either or both of the “Tammany” candi- dates for porterships. ‘hey also ‘claimbghat it is‘an outrage for John Fulton to be holding the place in ‘Judge Wing’s court rooms made -va- eant by the resignation of Mr. S. T. Boyd when he became a letter car- rier, and that they propose to have that messengership for one of their number or a member of the East End Republican club. Things are going to be real hot for tne next ten days. Very few seem willing to brave the eold weather and make the trip to the Columbus inauguration even though transportation is given them. Everybody seems opposed to Fulton's eandidacy for that clerkship in the adjutant general's office at Columbus. Write. the governor your objections. For Rent—Rooms.—Mrs W. R.

"EMBROIDERED FURS. A Large exberugs of the Season's Garments Are Trimmed and Fringed. Furs are expensive this year, and for that reason it would seem more than @ pity to trim them or mutilate them in any way. Yet a great proportion of the new furs are trimmed, says the Brook- lyn Eagle. The other day there were seen two fur coats. One was a short; plain little coat of seal, the most service- able little coat imaginable. It was not quite three-quarters length, tight fit- ting and buttoned with big silver but- tons, a coat which one would admire any- where for its serviceability. But with the woman who wore the plain little seal coat there was another woman, and this one wore a blouse coat of moleskin, that skin for which there is such a demand this season. The blouse was hip length, pouched in front and belted with a belt of embroidered gold. The front was. buttoned with four large gold buttons, round as glbbes. It, ‘was open nearly to the belt, and the lapels were turned back to show a wealth of embroidery. The embroidery was in the oriental colors, brilliant blues, yellows, reds and greens, all put together with the recklessness of the Parsee em- broiderer and worked out right in the fur. It made a lovely display of color, but was recklessly extravagant, for the embroidery certainly does spoil the fur. It seems nothing less than a sin for Dame Fashion to set the style of em- broidery and ruffied furs, yet when one comes to examine the models closely one may come to the conclusion that there is economy in the method. And to prove this take an instance of a stole of otter, that fur which is enjoying a renais- sance. The collarette Which came just over the shoulders had two long ends which hung far down the front. The back was composed of gores or sections, each alternate one of fur, the other of vel- vet. The two sections were joined to- gether with a little very nice Armeniar. passementerie. Then came the em- broidery which entirely covered the vel- yet sections and was delicately traced upon the fur. The stole ends consist- ed of bands of fur and velvet put to- gether alternately and fully embroid- ered. It is easy to see how such a patchwork design might be carried out with the aid of a little old fur and a little new vel- vet, and how the result would be ele- gantly complete, as good, in. fact, as ‘though all new material had been em- ployed. Tails are very fashionable this year, and they are worn in all sorts of ways. Whole muffs are made of them,one tail next the other like a fringe, and those who can afford the luxury can make a very fashionable stole all of tails, with silk fringe underlying each row of tails. And, speaking of fringes, their uses re manifold and particularly are the white fringes used. White silk fringe, even a few inches of it, is valuable, for it can be used so very effectively upon the winter clothing. Coats can be trimmed with it, cuffs can have an edge of it, muffs are beautifully decorated with it, and winter bodices receive their finishing touch with a finger or so of handsome fringe. THE BANE OF BASHFULNESS. How the Shy Young Girl May Over- come the Miseries of Self- Consciousness, _ The shy little girl who buries her face in her mother's skirts on the approach of a stranger makes a charming and pic- turesque figure; that same child, be- come a young woman and suffering tho agonies of diffidence’as a wall-flower at a party, is an object of pity, says Youth’s Companion. No woman can be unsympathetic with the sufferer if she has herself once en- dured the miseries of self-conscious shyness; the fear of social blunder; the sense of physical awkwardness; the envy,, detested, yet cheristied, of the more easy and graceful friend; the bit- ter apprehension that no one will ever have the desire to break through the bar- rier of apparent coldness and discover the real woman. Yet this shyness has its root in a quality of character both noble and serviceable—in that admiration of the admirable which reaches to fear. The Germans have two words for fear— Furcht, which represents the fear of the coward, and Ehrfurcht, which repre- sents the fear of the man already wise, as he stands before his superior in wis- dom—honor-fear. It may seem idle to try to overcome girlish diffidence by an ethical argu- ment; but if once the timid girl can bring herself to’ regard the terrifying social group as simply her lessons and examples, she may gradually find her fear melting into admiration, and so into a wholesome imitation. Social grace is largely the self-forget- ting ability to put oneself in another's place. All the easy give-and-take which is the chief charm of the husk- ing in the country or the afternoon tea in the city, is the result, not of genius for conversation, but of practice in the art of entertaining. That art is ac- quired with far less tof! than skill in playing the piano or in embroidery or in cookery. : Olive O11, Olive oil should always be treated carefully to insure its continuing of good quality. Never allow the oil to remain exposed to a glaring light; a dark closet or cool cellar is the best place, and the bottle should be care- fuliy corked. It is also well, when the cork is first drawn, to wipe the mouth of the bottle carefully, and then use a fresh cork, discarding the old one pierced by the corkscrew. When care- lessly treated even the best oil de- teriorates rapidly, and dissatisfaction results.—Rural New Yorker. Exports of nig Countries. The United Kingdon has increased its export trade about 7% per cent. since 1872. Its population has increased 30 per cent. in thé same time. It exported to the United States and Germany $50,000,000 worth of goods in 1872, and only $365,000,000 in 1902.

Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can_understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking “the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health, A “trial will convince anyone, I was a constant sufferer for a number of years with weatness of the Kidneys: and, back and frequent desire 10 urinate, but after using Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, I am entirely cured and cheerfully, recommend this wonderful femedy to any who may eulfer trom these common com- plaints.

Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach -and liver trouble, you eet a sallow, yellow com- plexion, makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but :mo_strength; get*weak and waste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, ‘he world-famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect rhealer and gentle aid to the kidneys that has ever been discovered, * If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust set- tling, or if small particles float about in it, your Kidneys are in need: of immediate attention, Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used sin the leading hospitals, recommended by physi- -cians in their private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves who have kidney ailments, because they recognize in it the greatest and most successful remedy for kidney, liver and bladder troubles.

Though Rafael Lopez’ father . has married the sweetheart Rafael has -courted since their childhood days, neither the young lovers nor the father regrets the step that has been taken. The father of Rafael Hildalgc Lopez, of Paterson, N. 1. lives in Cu: vba, The father, Senor Hidalgo y Li- viano, has married the beautiful Sen. -orita Anna Rosa Fernandez Wegener, isweetheart of Rafael, Anna wanted to marry Rafael, and Rafael wanted to marry: Anna, but chis father, the senior Hidalgo, was the groom, At first blush one would put the senorita down as a victim »the young Rafael as another, and the father as a hard-hearted wretch. In- <stead of that, Rafael is happy, Seno- rita Anna is happy, and the father is a good-natured, obliging man whom any young person would be proud to have as @ parent. ‘The solution of this mystery lies in the fact that Senor Hidalgo y Liria- no acted thus opligingly in marrying his son’s fiancee by virtue of a power of attorney. The father merely rep- resented the son at the altar. Senorita Anna is an orphan and one of the ‘wealthiest young women in Havana. She also has the distinction -of being beautiful. She and Rafael haye known each othey since child- hood. The girl was of Spanish and German parentage. Since they have teen old enough to understand the meaning of an engagement they have been betrothed. . When Rafael left Havana three months ago to become an American -engineer, having obtained employ- ment in the locomotive works at Paterson, the girl promised to wait for him until he had made his name and fortune in the United States. The young student recently heard Aisquieting news from home. He de- termined to marry his fiancee at -once and wrote, asking if she werc willing to marry him. by proxy. »She ‘was loyal and said yes. Knowing that the laws of Cuba did not recognize 2a church marriage, but held a civil -contract marriage binding, young Lo- pez wrote to a friend, who is an at- “torney in New York, to have a power -of-attorney drawn to his father. Thereupon the attorney had the -fellowing document prepared: “Know -all men by these presents that I, Ra- fael Hidalgo Lopez, of Paterson, N. J., have made, constituted, and ap- pointed, and by these presents do “make, constitute, and appoint Rafael Hidalgo Liriano, of Havana, Cuba, my true and lawful attoraey for me and ‘jn my name, place and stead, to per- form a civil marriage contract in my name with Anna xosa Fernandez “Wegener, of Havana, Cuba.” To make doubly sure of the legality -of the power of attorney, the Cuban consul in New York signed the docu- ‘ment and the county clerk indorsed it. Young Lopez forwarded the’ for- ‘midable looking document to his father and the marriage followed. Investizating Human Voice. Prof. Edward Wheeler Scripture, director of the psychological labor- atory of Yale university, has arrived -at Munich with the object of conduct- ing experiments in the dissection. of the human voice ‘by. means of the gramophone, The Hanover Courier -ealls attention to the frequent trips of American scholars to Germany for the purpose of conducting investiga- tions for which America is unable to ~provide satisfactory material.
