LOUIS FAIR. ‘The Louisiana Purchase Exposition ‘company has paid to the government ‘the ‘first installment on the loan of $4,600,000. Under an act of congress Signed by President Roosevelt on Feb- waary 18, 1904, this sum of money was doaned to the Exposition, the stipula- ‘tion being that it was to be repaid in ®emi-monthly installments, beginning with June 15. At each semi-monthly ‘Payment 40 per cent of the Exposi- tion’s gross receipts is to be paid in- ‘to the federal treasury, with the pro- ‘viso that all the payments, from and after July 1, shall amount to at least $500,000. The installment paid to the ®overnment aggregated only about $195,000 and the Exposition company 4s going “deeper and deeper in the thole” every day because the attend- ance for one reason and another has ‘mot been and is nothing like it whould be to enable the company to live up to its agreement with the government. This is unquestionably the case, at least in part, because of the non-attendance of any consider- mble number of our people who are 0 large a portion of the population ‘of St. Louis, Missouri and that par- Zicular section of the country. The miserable insults and mistreatment wf the few Afro-Americans who have attended the Exposition has had and 4s having the very natural and proper effect of keeping thousnds of others ‘way. This is as it should be ang, we sincerely hope, will continue to be until the affair closes. It is the nly way we can properly resent in- jsulting and humiliating treatment ‘wholly inexcusable. Stay away from ‘the St. Louis Fair should be our slo- an, as far as it is concerned, until ft closes or is closed by the govern- ‘ment because of a growing colassal Rebt_ THE CLAUSE MOST OFFENSIVE TO SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY. ‘ ‘The people of the south have for a time quite well understood the inten- tion on the part of a republican con- gress to reduce representation in those states where the Afro-Ameri- wan is disfranchised. They readily ‘see and recognize the unconstitution- lity of disfranchisement. ‘The mat- ter has been discussed again and ‘again through the public press and it ts not a thing of surprise to the well- Ssformed that the recent national re- ublican convention held at Chicago “should incorporate into its platform ‘cme measure pointing to the duty of wongress in regulating such a miscar- wiage of obligation to the federal con- Stitution. But the toleration of a ‘wBingle act in violation of the funda- mental law means the violation of the law in other respects. Ameri- ‘fans dare not submit to the outrage, for in doing so our great government would soon become as a rope of sand ‘and the power and stability of the na- Zion would be as a tale that is told, full of sound and fury, signifying mothing. The people of the south ave acted upor mad presumption. ‘They very well knew the extent of ‘the law and the limit of their power, ‘ut they simply defied the govern- ment and passed laws which placed ‘themselves in open rebellion to the Waited States. The act was a mere sehallenge to the general government sand at last due notice’ is given -that ‘the challenge is accepted. The Chi- ago convention has served notice ‘What the test must come and that m@omething must be done. ‘The people of the north are cowards by no means, ‘and far less are they disloyal. They @elieve in the supremacy of federal wuthority and in the law as against ‘any invasion or encroachment upon national constitution. Confront- — a terrible dilemma and dazed at ‘Sts own wild emergency, the leaders ‘ef southern democracy in a frenzy of ‘@enpair demand the repeal of the ‘BMeenth amendment to the constitu- ‘tion. But the fifteenth amendment as @ basic principle, it is one ‘of the ‘pillows on which the netion is built, wend can no more be abrogated than ‘to. destroy the government itseif. ‘Whe nation will suryive bécause the gmendmonts will stand; but repeal ‘the fifteenth amendment and at once ‘@eterioration and rebellion will en- wee. Men of the south fail to under- ‘gtani themselves. They fail to com- age the true mission of a free progressive government and it ‘will be only when another generation ome before the southern white _ fustly realize bis proper place Jo the national family.

Harry S. Cummings, Esq., an able young Afro-American from Maryland, was assigned the duty of seconding the nomination of President Roose- velt. He followed Harry Stillwell Edwards, of Georgia, and very grace- fully and pertinently did our orator suit words to the occasion. At no time in the history of the American people has it ever been so necessary ‘that the Afro-American should be heard and put on record. At no time in the life of the nation has there ever been an effort so persistent and unblushing to humillate and reduce the Afro-American to the condition of a human chattel. The country and the civilized world have stood in wild amazement as the worst elements against this race hurled the bolts of their wrath against a people strug- gling for life and liberty. In the mo- ment of the mighty issue, the old guards of the republic and the young blood of the nation with vigil eye still kept watch. The mad murmur- ings of the rabble but told the story of a socialism in its dying agonies to quench the spirit of true Americanism upon the continent. A Harry Cum- mings was needed to again certify the Lele § long declared, that with American’ and by Americans the spirit of caste, of bourbonism and a socialism must die. Upon the ros- trum he stood as a living protest against the attempt to ingraft into this government the guilty phantasy of a proud and cruel oligarchy. Every utterance of the orator was in repudiation of the wicked theory that the anarchist should hold sway on American soil. Again and again his words told of the rising spirit which is every day. brewing to confront the demon of open wrong and unrebuked crime. The nation’s head has been persecuted and traduced as no other of our presidents, and all because he has stood with unfaltering nerve for the right. The Afro-American has been slandered, outraged, dehuman- ized and killed, and more because of a determined purpose of eliminating him from public life and destroying within him the hope that he shall ever be more than a dependent hire- ling. But there were wise and true men at the great republican conven- tion and it was decreed that Attorney Ha?ry Cummings should represent the cardinal idea uppermost and fore- most in the minds of the people— that American citizens must be and shall be free. Bourbon democracy dared to betray its cloven feet, dared to reveal the teeth of the dragon, long after the death of the monster slavery, but the republican _ party, yiewing the situation from afar, ral- lied again the cohorts of freedom and called in her black allies, to declare again for the doctrine of human equal- ity and reaffirmed those eternal prin- ciples which must remain forever the watchword of our country. Harry Cummings was the instrument in the hands of the ruling millions and we thank God that there {s a Divine hand that rules in the affairs of men. _ Counterfeiters Give $3,000 Bail. ‘ Cleveland. July 7—Franklin H. Green and his brother; George, who were arrested by the police and turn- ed over to the United States authori- ties on the charge of making and pass- ing counterfeit money, were arraigned before United States Commissioner Schwan Wednesday.

Cleveland, July, 6—When thé grand jury convened Tuesday to investigate charges of jury bribery in insolvency court, Capt. Carlton Graves made the statement that he had been approach. ed before he came to court. A man who expected his conduct to be inves- tigated by the grand jury, sought an introduction to Graves and conversed with him about the charges of bribery, Graves said, Judge Phillips consid. ered Graves’ testimony so important that he had it recorded. The alleged bribery of jurors or attempt to bribe them was made public by Judge Cal- laghan, of insolvency court, several weeks ago. Flickencer Gave Himself Up. Cleveland, July 6.—Edward Flick- inger, president of the Flickinger Wheel Co., of Galion, O., surrendered himself at the federal building Tues- day. The charge against him is aid- ing O. L. Hayes, president of the Gal- fon national bank, in making in the bank books an entry alleged to be false. The transaction was on a $9,- 000 draft purporting to have been drawn by the Flickinger company on the Vehicle Wheel Co. and accepted by the latter concern. The entry, it is charged, was in favor of the Flickin- ger concern and was intended to de- fraud the bank. He was released on $5,000 bail. <nhes Incorporations.

Big Crowd of People on Hand When the Rosebud Reservation was Open. peyiperraty Bonesteel, 8. D., July 6.—The gov- ernment registration books for entry on the Rosebud Indian reservation were opened Tuesday.

Barnes, of New York City, was the first man to be registered, having taken his position at the hall door at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. At the Baptist church, where ladies and old soldiers were registering, only a cor- poral’s guard of the men waited through the night and were on duty at sunrise.

Nearly 700 Danish and Norwegian Emigrants Bound for New York Believed to Have Been Diswned: London, July 5.—Of 774 souls on board the Danish steamer Norge, 128, including Capt. Gundel, are known to have been saved. One of the children died in a life boat which brought oth- ers safely. Of the missing 646 persons small hopes are entertained. The enormous death roll which was feared with the first news of | the wreck has been decreased 102, that number of survivors, after many ‘privations, having been landed at Stornoway yesterday. Grimsby, England, July 5.—A lone pile of granite rising sheer out of the Atlantic 290 miles from the Scottish mainland is now a monument to al- most 700 dead. Bodies wash against the rocks or lie in the ocean bed at its base. Nearby, completely hidden in the water, is the Scandinavian-Ameri- can liner Norge, which was carrying 800 Danes, Norwegians, Swedes and Finns to join friends in America. Of these only about 180 were saved. No tragedy of the sea has more ap. palling consequences and none has oc- curred in a shorter time. The passen- gers were suddenly aroused from their sleep, terrified by the contact of the bows of the ship with the solid gran- ite, followed by a grinding, rasping sound as if the hull was being shored over huge rocks. Then silence, as the clanging bells brought the engines to a stop. Those of the passengers who were standing at the time the steamer struck the rock were thrown against the bulkheads or on the decks and had not recovered their feet when a sten- torian voice gave the terrifying order: “All hands on deck! Hurry, or you may sink!” ‘ Immediately there was a rush for the narrow companionways and men, women and children struggled to reach the deck where the boats swung from the davits. Many persons, re- taining their presence of mind, seized life preservers only to find in some in- stances that the strings were rotten and they could not be quickly put around their bodies. Those who reach. ed the deck saw the nose of the Norge pinned directly against the rock. It remained there only a few min- utes, for Capt. Gundell, who had gone to the bridge, gave the order to the engine room to reverse the engines. Some men of the engineer force had relatives among the passengers and after seeing them safely to the boats they returned to their stations below. Slowly the ship backed off and as she gained way it was found that water was pouring into her hold. This an. nouncement added to the supreme fright and agony. Suddenly one man threw himself overboard and another followed his example. Still another jumped into the water and soon round the ship hundreds of persons were struggling in the sea, Three boats successfully reached the sea : The women im the boat which reached Grimsby hid thelr eyes, but the men who were &itting facing the Norge said they saw the captain still on the bridge and the passengers on deck in attitudes of resignation. While they looked the Norge plunged forward, her stern shot up in the air and she disappeared. The swimmers in the vicinity of the ship were drown into the vortex, around which they swirled like chips in the mael- peroneal: A RAILROAD HORROR. field, I1.-Twenty People Killed and Dozens Injured. St. Louis, July 4.—A special to the Globe Democrat from Litchfield, Ill., says that the Chicago limited on the Wabash railroad, due in St. Louis at 7 o'clock last night and half an hour late, was wrecked inside the city lim- its. The train struck an open switch and was overturned and seven of the nine cars were burned. It is believed that 20 persons perished in the burned and wrecked coaches and that 40 were injured. The engine after running into the ‘switch struck @ string of freight cars and with the first three coaches was piled into a heap across the track and caught fire immediately. ‘The track was reported clear at the last station and as the train was running about 50 miles an hour, the open switch was not noticed. Nearly all the passengers were bound for St Louis and those not injured left on the Ilinois Central train an hour later. Three of the injured have since died. Interviews with several of them elicited the information that the train consisted of seven cars, all heavily loaded with passengers. Tbe three rear cars, a diner and_ two sleepers, were not derailed. The other four cars were piled up in an indiscrimi. nate mass and with’ the crushed freight cars on the siding took fire. A rumor spread that one of the freight cars was loaded with explosives and for the time this had the effect of re. tarding the work of the rescuers, Four People Drowned. Muskegon, Mich., July 5.—A sail boat containing seven pleasure seek- ers was capsized in Muskegon Lake Monday and four of the occupants were drowned. The party consisted of, Albert Kennicott, his wife and thice children, Linda, 4 years of age and two other little girls, aged 3 years and 13 months respectively, and two sisters, Misses Adeline, and Georgette Emerson.

Riggs, of Dayton, and a number of other visitors in the city last week called' on The Gazette, on Friday. The Woodliff hall restaurant will be open all night hereafter. This paper will be on sale there, as well as an up-to-date meal or lunch at all hours. Mrs. Carrie O. Jackson and Miss Roberta James, of Linden street, are visiting relatives at Washington C. H. Mr. Wm. Goodrich is also there. Chas. Fauntelroy Marshall returned to the city recently from New York city, to visit. "Charlie" has employment in a large department store there. Mrs. Ida Marshall, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Dora Harris, of Pittsburg, visited their brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Boone, of No. 403 Central avenue, recently. A concert was given at Tried-Stone Baptist church last week Thursday evening for the benefit of the pastor, Rev. W. R. Wilson. It is rumored that the pastor has resigned. Messrs. James A. Smith, of No. 282 Central avenue, and nephew, H. L. Taylor, returned Tuesday evening from a two weeks' visit in St. Louis. Of course they attended the fair. A bright, healthy, well disposed girl, about four years old, rather dark colored, can find a good home, with a good colored family through the Cleveland Protestant Orphan Asylum. The picnic at Mulberry park on the 4th, given by the Ohio State band, was a "frost" because of a failure to advertise. Those who did attend were very sore, as there was neither music nor ice cream on the grounds. Joseph R. Mackey, in business at Painesville and Canton with headquarters at the latter named city, was in Cleveland, (his former home), the past week circulating among his many friends. "Joe" is well and doing likewise. The Sunday evening services at St. Andrews' Episcopal mission, commencing tomorrow, will be held at 3:30 p. m., instead of at a later hour.

The Metropolitan band furnished music for the Newburg Gerrian club on the 4th.

Do not fail to see Mr. Garland's advertisement elsewhere in this paper, if you want a home, or want to stop paying rent, or want to live right. You don't need a whole lot of money to start with, either. He'll build you a home. Phone or call upon him at once. A little Afro-American newsboy hero saved the life of a little child (white) one afternoon last week near the old market house on Ontario street. The latter became separated from an aged woman in charge of it when crossing the street and was almost run over by a car. Wm. Douglass, of the Douglass Automatic Straw Binder Co., has again returned to the city. Now is the time for action on the part of those who have purchased the "stock." We haven't heard what "furrin parts" money is needed this time to patent the alleged invention in. Master Howard Fields, six years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fields, of Norman street, had a sixth birthday celebration July 1, from 1 to 6 m. There were forty present. Light refreshments served. Misses Bertha Blue, Bessie Escue, Louise Snyder, Cora Cunningham and others helped Mr. and Mrs. Fields entertain the little ones. Attorney Dunlap thinks that there is evidence enough to secure the indictment of two persons implicated in the "hurry up" settlement of the Gross boy's case, as soon as that august body is impaneled. Six hundred dollars will hardly secure artificial lower limbs for the lad. There is going to be a "hot time" when this case is opened. Mr. LeRoy Douglass, a member of Co. D. Ninth battalion, as well as one of a social set of young folk, one evening last week prepared to entertain a visiting lady from Springfield, when a detail of his company arrived and placed him under arrest for failing to attend drills. Douglass accompanied them to the county jail, where he spent several days. He is now recuperating in Detroit. James C. Carty, stationary engineer, of Pittsburg, formerly of Urbana, and Mrs. Lillian Bush, of Sewickley, Pa., formerly a resident of this city, were married in Sewickley, June 28, and will reside in Pittsburg, Mrs. Bush, who has a host of warm friends here in her old home who wish her God-speed, was in the city, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Montgomery, of Lincoln avenue. During the last two years business among our people of this city has been steadily growing, until now we have a great number of places that are doing fairly well than ever before. On Central avenue alone we have five barber shops, four restaurants, two undertakers, two ice cream and confectionery stores, three tailoring establishments, one second hand clothing store, one bicycle repair shop, three saloons and several other places. How soon will we have a grocery, shoe and dry goods store? They are greatly needed. Rev. J. M. Gilmere, of St. John's church, announces that on Sunday, July 17, he will hold "a free and easy" service. He desires the ladies to wear loose gowns and bring their fans, so that they may enjoy some comfort. We presume the men will be permitted to wear shirtwaists. Miss Helen Bolden will read a paper devoted to the young men. We hope she will properly characterize those who have a habit of calling young women on Central avenue by whistling for them much as one does his dog. Comment unnecessary. The way copies of The Gazette were "gobbled up" last week Thursday by the visiting sir knights, ladies and others, as soon as they were off the press, astonished the "local natives." Nearly all of them were regular readers of the paper in their respective communities throughout the state, many having taken The Gazette for 10, 15 and 20 years respectively. At 6 p. m., last week Thursday, every copy of the paper of July 2 issue was sold and many requests for copies still remained. And the editor took supper at Crawford's "Gem" restaurant. One of the neatest business places in the city is that of I. B. Bowman at No. 569 Central avenue, opposite Laurel street, Mr. and Mrs. Bowman have the best ice cream, soda water, candies, cigars and flowers for sale and in a few days will be prepared to serve light lunches. Our people should take pride in patronizing them, because their charges are as reasonable as any, and they give the best service. Across the street at their old stand, No. 580 Central avenue, Mr. Bowman is conducting a news-stand and shining parlor, which ought also to be patronized liberally. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wright, of 74 Eliot street, delightfully entertained at an informal seven course dinner, Wednesday evening: Mr. and Mrs. George Sampson, Jr., of Florida, former residents of this city; Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Dale, of Steubenville, also former residents of this city; Mr. Walter Wright, Jr., whose wife's illness prevented her being present, and the editor of The Gazette. Mr. and Mrs. Wright have a lovely home and are as successful with their social functions as any person or persons, it has been our good fortune to meet, here or elsewhere in the country. The usual services at Antioch church, Sunday. In the morning, an unusually large attendance. The pastor spoke principally upon the "Existing Evils of the Day." Every inch of available space was occupied at the evening service. The "Lord's supper" was administered. The church's building committee has secured the building permit and the architect is busy preparing specifications. The committee has found that it will be impossible to use the old church and it is for sale or will be torn down. The deacons are quite busy trying to find a place in which to hold service during the building. The Colored American does not seem to be so prosperous as formerly. We have not seen a copy of it for more than three weeks. Hope it has not gone into innocious desuetude. By the way, while talking about newspapers, what has happened to the Indianapolis Freeman of late? One man, and he not a very brilliant one, seems to be doing all the writing for the Freeman. Has the Freeman also fallen on evil times and backtracking, or is it economizing on a penny-a-liner, and a poor one at that? We are sorry to see two good papers getting so far in the back ground. Brace up a little, fellows.—Baltimore, (Md.) Afro-American. Services were well attended at Cory Sunday. Dr. R. L. Dickerson preached two able sermons to large and appreciative audiences. His subject in the morning was "The Difference Between a Christian and a Sinner;" evening, "The Sunrise and Sunset of Life." The last named subject was handled with a marked degree of eloquence and power. There is a growing improvement along all lines at Cory. The sub-division of the Epworth league held its convention Thursday and Friday. Quarterly meeting Sunday. Rev. H. W. Simmons, P. E., and wife will be present. He will preach and conduct the services. Sacrament at 3 p. m. Baptism of children, 11 a. m., by the pastor. Madam Selika's coming is a ray of musical sunshine greatly needed. She was always a favorite here in Cleveland, where she lived and taught music many months some years ago, and we predict an audience to greet her at St. John's church on Wednesday evening, July 20, that will tax the capacity of the large auditorium. The madam has been our greatest and most dignified classical singer so THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1904. long that our people of this city cannot show her too much honor by their presence on the evening in question, after years' absence from the city and in the midst of her concern as the result of a stroke of paralysis sustained by her husband, the popular baritone, Signor Velosko (Mr. Sampson W. Williams). Let us make the madam's heart warm, extremely so, by a generous outpouring at her recital and an enthusiasm upon her appearance that will make everybody happy. Wm. McRoss was the owner of the news stand near Bond and Superior streets before he began to follow the running horses. McRoss had a system by which he could beat the "jumpers" and he played his game clear through to the end of the string. Now he has no stand, but he has an action in common pleas court against the men that he says have his money. "Ab" Morris and Geo. E. Smith, alleged to be proprietors of the Home Stretch club, who it is claimed run a pool room at Rocky River, are the defendants. In his petition McRoss says that he commenced reading the "dope" sheet and laying bets while the defendants had a room in Glenville. When they were driven out of that place by Mayor Goff he followed them to Rocky River, he says. He was an everyday attendant at the rooms and although things were breaking badly for him he stuck, the petition says in all he claims that he lost $2116.35. He asks that he be given judgment for that amount and in addition he wants $500 exemplary damages, the amount fixed by law. All of this money was lost by McRoss within two years he says.

We see how little the heart of woman has changed when it comes to a question of beautiful clothes as displayed in the leading atellers of the Rue de la Paix. It seems to me that neither English, French nor American women are in the least considering the cost of their best frocks, by which I mean the toilette de reception and the evening gown. They do, however, affect a delightfully chic simplicity in the wearing of linens and white serge for the mornings, but their evening toilettes are really splendid creations. I will tell you now of a simple evening gown worn by a well-known debutante. It is composed of white silk muslin, gauged in at the waist, and finished down the front by quaint little ruches of white taffeta, a thicker ruching also appears at the feet, headed by a narrow border of pearl trimming. The bebe bodice is trimmed with ruchings of silk, and the decoletage is outlined with the pearl trimming, which rests on the neck. The sleeves are nothing more than early Victorian puffs, and round the waist is a very wide sash of Romaney blue satin. Enamel work is much used in parasol handles, some of which are very quaint and pretty. We are fastidious in trifles of this kind, and do not care for over-elaborateness. A handle of three well-blended enamels is an adequate finish to a plain colored parasol or en-tout-cas. The sketch is of two pretty summer outdoor toilettes, suitable for fete or race occasions.

With three-fourths of his stomach in a pickle bottle, John Maguire is enjoying appetite and a renewal of health in Crozier hospital, Chester, Pa. The operation which brought the stomach within the bottle was performed recently by Dr. William B. Van Lennep. It was the last desperate effort to save Maguire's life. He was a sufferer from cancer of the stomach and the involvement was so great that death seemed to be imminent. Every precaution was taken to prevent recurrence of the malignant growth and to insure against blood poisoning. Removal of the diseased part was made with instruments heated by an electrical battery. A flap of the intestines was then sewed to the small pocket left by the remaining portion of the stomach and the usual openings left for drainage. It was said at the hospital that all indications pointed towards complete recovery. While the stomach will hold only one-fourth as a result of the portion he lost, the deficiency will be made up for a time by more frequent meals. Nature, after awhile, will accommodate itself to the new condition by accelerating the processes of digestion in the intestines. The operation has excited extraordinary interest in the hospitals and among surgeons. It is as rare as it was daring. Both Profitable?

WRONG TRACK Even the most careful person is apt to get on the wrong track regarding food sometimes and has to switch over. When the right food is selected the host of ails that come from improper food and drink disappear, even where the trouble has been of lifelong standing. "From a child I was never strong and had a capricious appetite and I was allowed to eat whatever I fancied—rich cake, highly seasoned food, hot biscuit, etc.—so it was not surprising that my digestion was soon out of order and at the age of twenty-three I was on the verge of nervous prostration. I had no appetite and as I had been losing strength (because I didn't get nourishment in my daily food to repair the wear and tear on body and brain) I had no reserve force to fall back on, lost flesh rapidly and no medicine helped me. "Then it was a wise physician ordered Grape-Nuts and cream and saw to it that I gave this food (new to me) a proper trial and it showed he knew what he was about because I got better by bounds from the very first. That was in the summer and by winter I was in better health than ever before in my life, had gained in flesh and weight and felt like a new person altogether in mind as well as body, all due to nourishing and completely digestible food, Grape-Nuts. "This happened three years ago and never since then have I had any but perfect health for I stick to my Grape-Nuts food and cream and still think it delicious. I eat it every day. I never tire of this food and can enjoy a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream when nothing else satisfies my appetite and it's surprising how sustained and strong a small saucerful will make one feel for hours."

The Pretty Summer Fabrics Evening and Fete Gowns HE fashion of piping, gauging and ruching is splendidly adapted to thin summer fabrics and more especially to muslins. Nothing was more IE fashion of piping, gauging and ruching is splendidly adapted to thin summer fabrics and more especially to muslins. Nothing was more unsightly than the serpent-like skirt of some few seasons ago in muslin. A great many people looked extremely well in these tight draperies, but they certainly require to be arranged in more substantial material THE LADY IN A PLAID DRESS DAINTY MORNING GOWN IN CHECK VOULE STRAPPED WITH WHITE CANVAS. than muslin. The effect at some of the big gatherings was not only deplorable, but often ludicrous. Very different are our modes of today, and the quaint old delaines and patterned muslins are delightful made up with pipings, ruchings and plaitings, the full gauged skirt hanging in graceful folds from waist to feet, the pouching bodice, the elbow sleeves and long shoulder, surmounted by the simple picture hat. Look, too, at the hundred-and-one dainty little accessories you can add to your muslin frock! I will tell you of some quaint and simple muslin gowns suitable for the deburante's wear. One is in cream pin-spotted muslin, the skirt of which is gauged in at the waist and then inserted with plaited muslin edged on either side with tiny ruchings of blue bebe ribbon. These insertions become fuller and wider as they near the feet, finishing at last in a mass of billowy frills; as the wearer lifts her frock one catches glimpses of a much-beflounced blue glace petticoat. The bodice fastens at the back, and is adorned with a scroll pattern of plaited muslin edged with the bebe ribbon ruching; above this is a deep yoke shaped empiecement of purest white dentelle Irlandaise, lined only with ARIS.—Taffeta changeante and shaded chiffons are two very noticeable features of this season's fashions. Some of the embroideries are so lovely that it is not ARIS.—Taneta changeante and shaded chiffons are two very noticeable features of this season's fashions. Some of the embroideries are so lovely that it is not surprising that opera cloaks and evening dresses are especially charming this season. Many kinds of trimming are made of shaded panne and velvet leaves appliques on to lace. There is, without doubt, a growing fancy for green in beautiful soft shades. Consequently, emeralds are gaining in favor, and we also see other curious green stones. Jewels are mostly in Louis XV. settings, varied by wonderful oriental stones and very fine specimens of Italian enamel. We Parisians are great admirers of Italian art; and many of the newest models of tea gowns are sufficient witness to this. DD BITS FROM ABROAD. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, JULY 9. 1904. chiffon. The elbow sleeves are finished with ruchings and plaitings. This is to be worn with an enormous picture hat of leghorn, the only trimming on which will be a band of black velvet and two huge cabbage roses with their own foliage. A touch of black will also be introduced in the parasol, which is of gauged black chiffon lined with palest pink. Such a frock as this would be charming at London's big garden party. A lovely example of the painted muslin gown is in pale pink, with a pompadour design of rings of deep red roses and foliage painted thereon. The frock appears to be cut all in one, and is gauged from several inches above the waist to about three inches below it. The hip pieces are cut open and inserted with tiny tucks or box plaits, which give the necessary amount of fulness to the long skirt, which is finished with two enormously thick ruches of taffeta changeante taking in various shades of pink and green. Some smaller ruches of the same fabric are arranged over the yoke and shoulder to give a pelerine effect, and the elbow sleeves are finished with soft gaugings and frills, worn with long mousquetaire gloves. This is surmounted by a hat of white chip, with an inner brim of black straw, giving a be- J. M.

The gauging gives the necessary fullness and flow to the apparently simple skirt, and one of the newest effects is arrived at by the zonave of brown taffeta, with orange and blue velvet straps. The sleeves, you will observe, reach only to the elbow (as is the case now with all the smartest Parisian toilettes), and are finished by gaugings of chiffon, and plisse frills of the same. This toilette is completed by an en tout cas of brown, with an orange and blue border. The hat, of brown chip, has a simple band of blue velvet and a 706 TWO PRETTY FETE GOWNS. bright orange Paradis plume shading into yellows, browns and blues. Most ethereal is the toilette worn by the lady on the left; this is suitable for a hot July day, being in palest blue soie-de-Chine, with insertions and filmy flouances of blonde lace edging the box-plaited frills of soie-de-Chine. The bodice consists of lace and strappings of the soie-de-Chine, the sleeves being finished with great folded pieces of pale blue chiffon and touches of black velvet. The hat is of blue chip, veiled with blonde lace, and adorned with a huge cabbage rose and green foliage. Last, but not least, note the parasol, of pale blue chine silk, with deep puffings of shaded blue chiffon. each a voice and meaning.

Famous Writer Received First Substantial Recognition from "The Black Cat." Boston, July, 1904.—I mere is an old adage that no door shuts without another opening. With the necessaries of living constantly mounting higher, old sources of income disappearing and old lines of effort closing up, it is encouraging to find that the ceaseless change and progress of the times is opening new fields of endeavor to the intelligent and ambitious. The Boston Daily Globe gives a notable example in the case of the famous Jack London, the brilliant war correspondent, now at the front, who secured his first substantial recognition as a writer right here in this city, when he was just about to give up in despair. "Nothing," he says, "remained but to get out and shovel coal. I had done it before, and earned more money at it. I resolved to do it again, and I certainly should have done it, had it not been for The Black Cat. "Yes, The Black Cat. The postman brought me an offer from it for a 4,000-word story which was more lengthy than strengthy, if I would grant permission to cut it down half. Grant permission? I told them they could cut it down two halves if they'd only send the money along, which they did, by return mail. I forgot my coashoveling resolution, and continued to whang away at the typewriter. As for five dollars offered at some indefinite time by a big magazine, for a story of similar length, I finally received it, after publication and a great deal of embarrassment and trouble." Nor is Jack London the only writer who has been lifted from obscurity to prominence by the lucky Black Cat, which, as the New York Press has truly said, has done more for short-story writers and short-story readers than any other publication. Newton Newkirk, the popular writer, who hails from an obscure Ohio town, achieved success through The Black Cat; so did Stanley Edwards Johnson, the New England author, Frank Lillie Pollock, of North Carolina, and many others. Each of its famous prize competitions has brought new writers to the front. In its most recent, the $2,100 prize was won by a young Texan who had never before written a story, and the second, $1,300, went to a lawyer's wife in an obscure Missouri town. It has just inaugurated another contest in which $10,600 will be paid to writers in sums of from $100 to $1,500. This will, no doubt, add many new names to the list of those who have "arrived" through its recognition. The conditions are announced in the current issue of The Black Cat, and will also be mailed free to any one by the Shortstory Publishing company, Boston, Mass. Even those who cannot write a winning story themselves may earn ten dollars by giving a timely tip to some friend who can But all should bear in mind that it will be entirely useless for any one to send a story to The Black Cat contest after October 1, or without first reading and complying with all the published conditions. Here is a chance for the reader to dig dollars out of his brain, for what life does not contain at least one tale worth telling? A WORTHY BENEVOLENCE. Twenty-one years ago Rev. J. G. Lemen, pastor of a large church at Council Bluffs, Ia., took into his home three orphaned children in need of such a refuge. Learning of other homeless little ones he soon filled his house with them, until his own resources were exhausted, and he saw the necessity for larger quarters, which he secured. Out of this benevolent movement has grown a well-established and well-appointed permanent home for needy orphaned little ones, and it is stated about 215 such children are now being cared for in the 25 cottages and other buildings belonging to the organization founded by Mr. Lemen. The Home is non-sectarian and is indorsed and supported by all denominations. Children are frequently adopted by families whose good character has been vouched for. A valuable little paper, the subscription price of which is 25 cents per year, is published by the workers. It is called "The Word and the Way." Information regarding the carrying on of the good work may be obtained by addressing the Christian Home at Council Bluffs, Ia. A Lasting Cure.

Few people realize the amount of money which has been expended by the United States government in carrying on its war with Spain and the attendant fighting in the Philippines. From the beginning of the Spanish-American conflict to the end of the present fiscal year, June 30, 1904, according to statements compiled by Edward Atkinson for the government, the cost of waging warfare aggregates over $1,000,000,000. Each American citizen contributes to the support of the forces and it costs every individual a little over two dollars. The Spanish-American war cost the United States $300,000,000, a large amount of money being devoted to pensioning veterans. Warfare in the Philippines will, by the end of June, have cost $700,000,000, and as the population of the country is about 82,000,000, nearly $165,000,000 is annually paid by the people toward the war fund. The war taxes are laid indirectly, every article of necessity, comfort and luxury, such as sugar, potatoes, fish, beer, spirits, tobacco, wood, leather, fuel, metals and clothing being subject to the duty. A TRACKLESS RAILWAY. New Departure In Railroading in Germany Gives Every Promise of Success. United States Consul Langer, at Solingen, Germany, reports to the department of commerce and labor that a trackless railway is being erected by the community of Monnheim, which will be the first of its kind in Prussia. It will run from Monnheim to Langenfeld, about $2\frac{1}{2}$ miles long, with two short branches intended for freighting purposes. For entering farm yards lying close to the road a connector and flexible cable 50 to 70 feet in length will be used to transmit the current to the motor car. When these trains pass each other one will remain standing under the wires and disconnect its current until the other has passed. Farmers' wagons can be attached to the end of the train, provided the ordinary tongues are replaced by shorter coupling tongues. Consul General Cole, at Dresden, Germany, reports that experiments also have been made near Dresden with railless electric roads, but it seems that the lines did not prove a marked success from a financial point of view. Finds Curious Old Flag. An old flannel American flag with a history has been found by Max Tewel, a York, Pa., tailor, in a disused corner of the attic over his shop. On a paper, yellow with age, in which the flag is wrapped, is written: "Take good care of this flag. It was made in 1778." Inasmuch as the first flag of its kind was made by Betsy Ross a year later, Mr. Tewel does not vouch for the correctness of the note. The flag is plainly of home manufacture. It has 13 white stars on a blue field. Stars and stripes were cut out by hand and sewed together with apparently much care and labor. Scalded in Queer Manner. Mrs. J. E. Richey, of Lebanon, Ind., was severely scalded the other day by the explosion of a can of asparagus, which rested on the warming shelf above the kitchen range. Mrs. Richey was standing near the stove when the explosion came, and the contents of the can struck her in the side of the face and ran down her right arm, scalding it from the shoulder to the tip of the fingers. The side of her face also was scalded.

"Which eye, dearest?" "The right one, love. Did you get anything in yours?" she asked anxiously, seeing his handkerchief appear. "Yes, darling." "Which eye, dearest?" "The right one, love." "How sweet!" she exclaimed, with a sad light glowing in her well eye. "Do you suppose, dearest heart, that it could have been part of the same piece of dust that got into our eyes, darling?" "I hope it was," he said, beaming with one eye and wiping the other. "Wouldn't it be sweet, dear?" "Wouldn't it, love?" And the wind howled around the corner as though it was in pain and from the house three doors below a dentist's sign fell off into the street. It Boys to Read News Cox, Wis., July 4.—Frank M.
