THE GAZETTE. RUFFLES AGAIN TO BE WORN OHIO LETTERS. TWO LATE MODEL GOWNS. GAIN we must speak of the quaintness of the fashions, and the quaintness promises to be more than ever a feature of gowns. We strolled this week through the costume department of perhaps as beautiful a "store" as is to be found anywhere in the world, and saw one model that seemed an exact copy of a grandmother dress. By a "grandmother dress" we mean no olderly-lady affair, but the sort grandma wore when she was made, and the ruffles referred to was made of pale blue crepes de chine, the skirt full, with three wide ruffles giving it added fuzziness, the ruffles about as far apart as they were wide, and extending from the hem of the skirt to a little within the waist line. The waist had a low neck and short sleeves, and to its fuzziness was enhanced by a row of ruffles. Trimmings of self-material are to be quite the fashion, and they are a relief from the over-ornamentation that of recent years has made use of a whole milliner's scrap basket on a single costume. With the soft wools in vogue, ruffles are especially suitable, and these also carry us back to days of "delaine." Self-trimming include, besides the ruffled bias, bands, straps, puffs and quillings. Puffs, another revival of the old, are beginning to be seen, and are well adapted for soft wools. Rosettes and stiff little bows are trying to make headway, but to us seem to have little to recommend them. Scallops are yet another old-fashioned come back, and these are usually bound with some contrasting color. For instance, a red cashmere would have scallops finished with black taffeta. Surely, there are to walk abroad the very ghosts of our grand-mothers. The square neck is used on evening gowns, and on day dresses with the addition of the chemisette. Sometimes the opening is finished with a narrow bit A PROPHECY OF NEW WAISTS OW is the time when a maiden's fancy turns to thoughts of spring and summer shirtwais, though we shall have real winter with us yet for many moons. But in the lull of the moon's glow, frenzy it is a good time to plan and provide for next season's demands. In the large cities the shops are bowers of summary stuffs, snow outside. 扎. but within filmy light frocks, white walstis, counters and frames entirely given over to cottons and lightweight stuffs. Which reminds us to give some advice regarding choice of waist material. It seems to be getting to be the rule to have the majority of one's A of richly embroidered braid, sometimes with a narrow frill. Dotted nets and muslins are liked for the evening gowns, as well as soft wools, silks and crepes. The girdle continues the proper thing on fancy costumes, but a narrow belt is making progress on shirt waists and shirt waist suits. The reaction noticeable in the way of less elaboration in dress applies to the coifure, too. No ornaments are now worn in the hair save combs, the three-story pompadour is quite gone, and all the mass of hair that for a awlhe lay on my lady's back—to the detriment of her dress, and not particularly effective or becoming, either, save in the rarest cases, is no longer approved. Now the hair is lightly raised above the forehead, but at the back it is worn flat against the head, accenting the natural outline. For wear with a silk shirtwalt suit there should be a white ruche at the neck—and another grandmother touch—a close string of gold beads; or, if one possess it, a short chain of coral beads. These accessories in no way detract from the simplicity of the gown, and at the same time give enough decoration to make it suitable for dressy demands. Although this is what is spoken of as a color season, black is well to the force for evening dress; and thin stuffs are especially liked for these gowns. They should be made a little longer than round length, and the foundation be firm enough to keep the skirt from looking limp. Light crinoline is now used to hold out the sleeves to the shoulder, and may become generally used for dressing in the rain. My mind it has not as yet made much of a show for this purpose. Black dresses and also colored ones, are liberally sprinkled with sequins, put on, not in the old flat way, but in little strings that make a swing and jingle as the wearer walks. Spangles, too, are employed, always very effective on black. shirtwaists made of wash materials; not necessarily cotton, for many of the woolls wash beautifully, and the China silks can be subjected to water and iron. Cashmere, after a long period of lying on the shelf, is now very much the thing, comes in a wide variety of shades. It is an excellent choice for the wash waist, and can be employed for the shirt of service, or, in delicate tint, for dressy afairs. Checks are liked for the severe waist, and as in lightweight woolens, as well as in silks, are popular. Red cashmere makes a very pretty waist, and is fashionable at present. Blue and green checks, have had quite a long day, and still continue in favor. A one-colored waist is touched up with pipings of brilliant plaid, but the style of making should be of taller plainness. Straps and bands,stitched with exactness, give the tailor touch like once more, and plaits and tucks are used. Buttons are used extensively, all the ornamentation is on what may be called the mannish order. The shirtwaist girl of the period is trim, not fussy. That is reserved for the evening dress damsel. One silk waist at least should be included in the wardrobe, and a good choice for this is a rather heavy silk with dark foundation broken here and there by flecks or waves of some vivid color. One fashion expert speaks of this modish material as on the "rug carpet" order, and it is not unlike that floor-covering now only dimly remembered. The model shown in our illustration has style and simplicity, and such a waist has nothing about it that would spoon in the wash. The short yoke is continued in the form of straps on the sides, down the center of the front there is a double box plait fastening with buttons and button holes. The sleeves are decidedly full above the elbow, the long cuff extends from elbow to wrist. And a word of caution in reference to this cuff; it should be fitted with utmost care, to look trim be fairly tight, so tight it will need the buttons for use as well as ornament. A sleeve that slips over the hand easily rises well. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1905. The Week's Doings of Many Buckeye Cities and Towns.

COLOR PROBLEM In This Country Interestingly Discussed by Mr. Daniel Murray, In the Colored American Magazine- An Intensely Interesting Narrative of The New York Journal, November 6th, 1904, under the heading "Love Triumphed," devotes a whole page to the case. If it be as claimed, Mrs. Jordan will have distinguished company. Natalie, wife of Prince Nicholas, of Warsaw, is Puskin's daughter, and their daughter is the wife of the Grand Duke Michael, cousin to the present Czar, Nicholas II. "In South Carolina we recognize octoroons as white people." These are the exact words of Senator B. R. Tillman in the United States senate February 23d, 1903, in answer to Senator Spooner on the Idiana post office case. Had a different classification been urged it would have produced an awkward situation, since, in Charleston, S. C., there stands to day a statue of Henry Nimrod, the first known octoroon, as well known, was octoroon. In the Macon case the claim comes down to quadroon. The case of Vice President Richard M. Johnson is an interesting one of this color-line question, but the case of Thomas Jefferson is equally so and is thus described:— The New York Journal in the June 19th, 1904, issue, published a double leaded article over the signature of the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, in which he speaks of the loose lives of Washington* and Jefferson and their fondness for black women. By another author, Washington is said to have written a letter inviting Jefferson to visit him at Mount Vernon, and says: "I have nothing particular to offer you as an inducement to make the journey but I have had motions for you what I trust will prove most acceptable, as likely black wenches as can be found in the state of Virginia." Watson says Jefferson had many mutilate children. To be continued. *NOTE-General Washington was not above a little duplicity, or as sometimes called "political fnesse," even if we credit him with Weems' story of the cherry tree, which is shown in his offering Patrick Henry an office after first making means to pay for the cherry tree, thus had the credit of rewarding Mr. Henry for political services without in fact giving anything.

HALL MEMORIAL SCHOOL. A Common Pleas Judge's Decision Will Close it if Sustained by Higher Courts. Massillon, O.—Judge Harter, of Stark county common pleas court, has set aside the will of John Hall, who died in this city in 1854. A clause in the will stipulated that after provision had been made for his widow, the remainder of the money realized from the sale of his farm should be placed at interest and it reached the sum of $10,000, when was to be used in establishing a school for the education of Negro children. About two years ago demands were made on the trustee, J. H. Hunt, of the Union National bank, of this city, by representatives of various race educational institutions, and money was given to Miss Frances Riley, president of the Women's Friendly Institute and School of Science, Titusville, M. Miss Riley started a school in this city for the training of young women for domestic service, and to count great success. The division will carry the school to close if sustained in the court courts. Heirs of John Hall appeared and claimed the estate, and Trustee Hunt instituted proceedings to settle disputed points. Interested persons will doubtless take the matter to a higher court. The only heirs known are the children of three nieces of John Hall. Officers and Teachers for 1905.

"Well" muttered the collector, as he sank wearily into a chair and turned to his employer, "there is one old saying that I can vouch for." "What is it?" "The one that says: 'You never find a man out till you trust him.'" DR. CRUM GETS HIS PLACE. Appointment Confirmed by the Senate After Long Fight Led by Tillman. Washington, D. C.—The nomination of Dr. W. D. Crum, to be collector of customs for the port of Charleston, S. C., was confirmed by the senate in executive session on the 6th by a vote of 33 to 17. Mr. Crum had been nominated by the president three times and in addition had received three recess appointments. He is now serving under the last of these recess appointments. Confirmation was opposed by Senator Tillman, who objected to the appointment of an Afro-American. Senator Tillman made a speech devoted almost entirely to the question of the constitutional right of the president to make a recess appointment when no actual recess had occurred, the senate having adjourned one session and begun another at noon of the same day. The race issue played a very insignificant part in the debate, which was participated in by fully a dozen senators. When Dr. Crum receives his commission he will be entitled to receive the salary which has accumulated since his first appointment. Rah! for the president! Olean, N. Y. Items.

Dr. W. D. Crum can give that overwhelming Roosevelt vote of last November the credit for his final confirmation by the United States senate. Emperor William will not forget the hero, Ellis, and we sincerely trust that our government will be even more thoughtful and generous. His saving of the statue, Frederick the Great, at the imminent risk of his life was indeed a brave act which merits substantial recognition from both Germany and the United States. REDUCING REPRESENTA- TION IN CONGRESS. forced according to the constitution, that reduction weakens the oppressor, strengthens the hand of the patriot and sustains the government in the execution of its duties upon an equal and ample basis. Messrs. Platt, Crumpacker and Keifer are not the greatest fools in the world. DOINGS OF THE RACE For the proposed Lutheran college for Afro-American boys at Greensboro, N. C., fifteen acres of land have been bought, and $50,000 will be expended in equipment. Joe Gans, the lightweight champion, has been matched to fight Jimmy Gardner before the San Francisco Athletic club, San Francisco, January 27, at 136 pounds at 6 o'clock for a purse of $5,000. Down in Alabama last week Monday some white brutes celebrated the New Year by lynching an eighteen year old Afro-American. The usual crime had not been committed—only a white man beaten. Miss Dora Young, (German) 17 years old, and Charles Kellems, 28 years of age, were married in Philadelphia recently. Both are from Rockville, Conn., where he "boarded" with her mother. All now live together in the "City of Brotherly Love." The mother willingly gave her consent to the marriage. B. F. Haywood, a member of the race, who lives in Red River, Ark, enjoys the distinction of having produced the cotton which won the gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In addition to possessing superior quality, it approximates two inches in length and when others sold cotton at 12 cents he sold at 18 cents. Bob Cole, the comedian, has recently purchased a fine residence in New York city, which is said to have cost him $16,000. His mother and sister reside in his new home. The Ladies' former husband had an interview with him recently and in April will have an article on the work of the two clever entertainers. Cole & Johnson have recently contracted with Klaw & Erlanger, of New York city, (the largest musical firm in the world), to handle all of their compositions. While a congregation of our people was holding a Christmas celebration in a church at Stouts Mountain, Ala., a volley of shots was fired into the church from the outside. Rev. Clay, the pastor, was shot though the hips and will die. Two other men were probably fatally wounded. The other men hurried out of the building and ran in every direction. Later the miner, who had left the miner, was found near the church with a revolver lying near by. It is supposed he was*a member of the shooting party. ELLIS. A HERO! Magnificent Statue Saved From Destruction at the Risk of His Life Washington, D. C.—An attempt was made Tuesday noon to blow up the statue of Frederick the Great, in the grounds of the Army War college. A soldier on duty in the grounds saw a stranger walk rapidly away from the statue and jump in a carriage. He gave pursuit, but the carriage quickly outdistanced him. At the same time an Afro-American who had observed the incident, hurried up to the statue and found hanging from the fence a smoking object, which he sized and hurled as far as he could. It proved to be a bomb, and it barely struck the ground when it exploded with a tremendous noise. A general call has been sent out by the police to watch all exits of the city for the stranger, who is described as about 35 years of age and of medium height and build. The statue of Frederick the Great was the gift of a member of the German people of the United States and was unvelled only a few weeks ago in the presence of a most distinguished assemblage by Baroness von Sternberg, wife of the German ambassador. From the force of the explosion, after the workman had thrown the machine out on the grass, experts judge it to have contained about a pound of dynamite. In another instant it would have exploded against the statue. The name of the humble hero, who thus saved the German emperor's magnificent gift at the risk of his life, is G. C. Ellis. He is an ordinary day laborer employed about the barracks grounds. REMARKABLE COMPARISONS. Last Year's Lynching Record - Fewer Directed Against Our People. The annual review shows that there were, during the year 1904, 87 lynchings, as against 104 lynchings for the year 1903. In 1902 there were 96 lynchings and in 1901, 135. Of the 87 lynchings, 82 took place in the south and 5 in the north. This would indicate that the mob spirit is still more prevalent in the south than elsewhere. Of the 87, 83 were Negro victims. This would indicate that the spirit of mob violence is directed against the Negro more than against the whites. Mississippi leads all the states, having to its credit for the year 18 lynchings. The alleged causes were: For murder, 36; attacks on women, 20; race prejudice, 19; murderous assault, 4; conspiracy in murder, 2; unknown, 2; insults, 2; threats, 1; robbery, 1; and abuse in this case do not lie, that all the lynchings are not for assault against womanhood. The twenty lynchings alleged for attacks on women would be considerably reduced if there were deducted all cases except those of actual rape or attempt at rape. The truth is, the country should accept the fact that there are fewer cases of rape in proportion to the population among the entire Negro race than there is among the white citizenship of Chicago. During the month of November there was not a reported lynching, and in this regard November, 1904, has a clear page, there being no such month in twenty years previous. Good Time to go South.

POLICE CLUBBED THE MEMBERS OF A FRANTIC MOB. ALL DEMANDS WERE MET. Hebrews Living in New York Became Alarmed and in the Rush to Draw Out Money Several Persons Were Badly Injured. New York, Jan. 12.—Three policemen and two women were injured yesterday in a run on the State bank in Grand street, in the heart of the East Side. The 5,000 persons crowded about the bank became so insistent that they broke down the iron railings around a light well in front of the building, and it was only by desperate clammy effort that the excited mob was prevented from forcing many of its number into the well. The policemen and women were hurt at that time. An emergency police detail finally restored order. On Tuesday there was a rush of depositors to get their money into the bank in time to begin to draw interest at once, and the long line of waiting depositors convinced excitable Jews that something was wrong with the institution. Five hundred persons waited in front of the building all Tuesday night and their number quickly swelled to 5,000 when the bank opened yesterday, though not all of that number were depositors. The bank, which has deposits of $10,500,000 and a cash, reserve of $4,000,000, and which Cashier Voorhis said earned 244 per cent. profits last year, sent down street for money early in the day and $250,000 was brought by the wagon load, largely in specie. At the sight of the money those waiting became only more impatient to get at it. The bank officers paid depositors off as fast as possible. In all the bank paid out $55,000 and received in deposits $440,000. Immediately upon getting their money into their account, being assured that the bank was able to pay them, the frantic Hebrows became equally anxious to get their money into the bank again and several of them created scenes when the officers refused to accept it.

The survivors drifted for several days without food and water, and they had just cast lots to see which of their number should be killed to provide food for the remainder. The Smoot Inquiry. Washington, Jan. 12.—Testimony intended to prove that the Mormon morale is of the highest type and to refute the word of witnesses who have declared the contrary to be true, was offered yesterday by counsel for Senator Reed Smoot.

French, of Idaho, a member of the present congress and re-elected for another term, were the day's witnesses. Storm Delayed Railway Traffic Storm Delayed Railway Traffic. Detroit, Mich. Jan. 12.

Indianapolis, Jan. 12.—Only 40 minutes were required by the republican joint caucus last night to organize and nominate two candidates for the United States senate, Senator Albert J.

Washington, Jan. 11.—President Roosevelt favors the earliest possible action looking to a revision by congress of the tariff. He so informed the senators and representatives who were in conference with him at the White House last Saturday and he has made plain his position to others since that conference. He will call the Fifty-ninth congress into extraordinary session as soon as the committees are prepared to submit a tariff measure for passage. One of those present at the conference on Saturday said yesterday that the president informed them that while he did not believe in any sweeping revision of the tariff, and would be absolutely the judgment of the two houses of Congress a matter that related so particularly to them, yet he did think that the time had come when the schedules should be examined and there should be a readjustment as to certain of them. While no decision of a definite character has been reached as to the time of the extraordinary session, it is reasonably certain that if one should be held it will be called to meet next autumn, probably in October. On this point it is too early to speak definitely. On another question, however, that of legislation relating to the interstate freight rates of railroads, his mind is quite made up. He will fight for that legislation and fight hard. ON TWELVE COUNTS. A Congressional Committee Prepares Articles of Impeachment Against Federal Judge Swayne. Washington, Jan. 11.—The committee of the house appointed to draft articles of impeachment against Federal Judge Swayne, yesterday completed work by preparation of 12 articles of impeachment. They embrace obtaining money by false pretence, using the property of a bankrupt corporation in the hands of a receiver appointed by himself and without making compensation to the company; for disobeying the law requiring him to live in his district; for "unlawfully and maliciously" fining and imprisoning E. T. Davis and Simeon Belden, attorneys at law, for alleged contempt of the circuit court committing to prison" W. C. O'Neal on the charge that he had committed contempt of the district court of the United States. A minority report signed by Representatives Littlefield, of Maine, and Parker, of New Jersey, dissents to all the articles of impeachment except that pertaining to the falsification of the expense account of Judge Swayne. THE TALBOT INVESTIGATION Members of Board of Inquiry Met, but Lacked a Quorum. Reading, Pa., Jan. 11—Despite the lack of a quorum seven members of the board of inquiry appointed to probe the charges made against Bishop Talbot, of the Central Pennsylvania diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church, by Rev. I. N. W. Irvine, the deposed priest, met in this city Tuesday and after a three hours' conference adjourned to meet here on Friday. The members of the committee informally considered the case in many of its phases and after adjournment it was the consensus of their opinion that the case must be settled to save the good name of the church, as well as in justice to the accused prelate. Withdrew His Endorsement Withdraw His Enclosure. Washington, Jan. 11.—President Roosevelt yesterday withdrew a letter which he wrote last March extending to the American Newsboy's Magazine he wishes for its success.

The president says: "Certain facts have come to me as to the character of certain persons interested in the corporation, as well as the methods they have adopted for the disposal of the stock, which makes me unwilling to permit the use of my name in connection with the enterprise."

Hundreds are Turned Back New York, Jan. 11—During the last five months the number of Russian Hebrews arriving at this port has exceeded that of any other nationality and amounted to 75,160.

In ten days they have sent back by the steamers on which they came 528 immigrants. Judge Enjoined an Artist Judge Enjoined an Artist. Evansville, Ind., Jan. 11.—While seated in the court room yesterday during the trial of Nicholas Trau-veter, charged with criminal assault, Irvin Alexander, an artist employed by a local newspaper, was served with an inunction signed by Judge Rasch restraining the artist from completing a sketch of the prisoner.

With her clothes pinned on her with nursery pins, Catherine Thurman faced the desk in police court Tuesday. Her blue jacket and waist were so tattered that her underwear was obvious and her plaid skirt hung in ribbons. Even her hat was desolate of trimming, though thoroughly ventilated. "I got her at 41 Walnut street" testified Patrolman Cress. "Another lady broke a window and got in where she was in bed and chased her out of the house. Her mother got away the other lady chopped 'em into mincemeat with her razor. The other ' lady' is colored, too." The case was continued. Senator Depew, at the New England dinner in Brooklyn on Dec. 21, related the following incident which shows that even southerners have their lucid intervals. The senator said: "As I came out of the president's office yesterday I met Gov. Taft. He said: 'I have just been talking with Griggs, of Georgia, member of the democratic campaign committee. He said: 'Mr. Secretary, we pranced all around this country trying to defeat Roosevelt because he had lunched with Booker T. Washington. From the character of the returns I am inclined to believe that if we had stayed to supper, Roosevelt would have had a unanimous vote."

Crosby, one of the editors of a Buffalo, N. Y., daily paper, Mr. James French, of Sandusky, and Miss Edith Robinson, of Wellington.

Williams, librarian of Adelbert college, and Miss Emma Tolbert. The caterer was McNaughton, and the decorator Wagner. Music was furnished by McAfee's orchestra. It was a distinguished gathering and the affair was an extremely enjoyable on... It seems impossible to hold a meeting of the stockholders in the practically defunct "Rover Safety Rack Co." Several unsuccessful efforts were made in November and December. C. H. Garland sent out a circular notice under the date, Nov. 3, in which he announced the "revocation" on Jan. 1, 1905, of his "license" to the company. This is amusing as his alleged invention has never been completed except on paper (if there), and the company ought to commence legal action to recover the $600 it paid to a company to acquire a completed article which they were 'to use, manufacture or vend.' This they were never able to do for the reason stated; therefore they are entitled to recover. In an alleged effort to perfect and promote the alleged invention, over $1,100 more of the stockholders' money was consumed. This almost equals that Douglass Automatic Straw Binder scheme. The Delineator for February, with a beautiful art cover and a varied table of contents, is a most attractive number. As a special feature, Lionel S. Mapleson gives an account of Grand Opera on its travels, a paper that is full of humor as well as of genuine interest and is strikingly illustrated. The romance of Chopin and the beautiful Countess Delphine Potocka is charmingly related by Gustav Kobbe in the "Composers Series," and in an interesting paper Allan Sutherland tells something of the origin and romance of that matchless hymn of Henry Francis Lyte, "Abide With Me." There are also good stories by Mary Stewart Cutting, Anne O'Hagan and Owen Oliver, in addition to the children's corner, in the book of L. Frank Baum's "Animal Fairy Tales" "Soa Riley Rabbit" story by Grace MacGowan Cooke. Some of the early spring styles are shown, and of fur, her interest to women is the chapter on "The Making of a Housewife," containing a world of suggestion. The department "Good Looks," which discusses the forehead, and Mrs. Theodore W. Birney's contribution on "The Mistakes of Mothers" are other items especially helpful. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Ricks, of Cory avenue, left Monday for an extended trip to Key West, Fla., and Cuba. In the first named place she will visit her son-in-law and daughter, Rev. and Mrs. E. Thomas Demby, of St. Peter's rectory, one of the largest Episcopal churches (and school) among our people of this country. They will not return to Cleveland until some time in May. Mr. and Mrs. Ricks are among our oldest and most highly esteemed residents and it is a pleasure for The Gazette at this time to call attention to the fact that theirs has been a most pleasing career in this community, extending over more than 30 years. In this time both have worked hard, long and faithfully, with resulting results that are most creditable to them and the races. Beside rearing their daughter, educating her and seeing her graduate with honors as a trained nurse from the medical department of Howard university, "Washington, D. C., they had the pleasure, in common with their many friends in this community, of seeing her successful as head nurse of one of the most flourishing medical institutions of our people in the west (at Kansas City), where she met Father Demby. In addition to this they have accumulated sufficient to provide a beautiful home on Cory avenue, which is entirely free of debt, and which is not covered by the universal "rainy day," and for the first time in their lives enjoy a vacation—one that could not help but please anyone. The satisfying thing about it is all that is long and faithful united effort upon their part has resulted so favorably. We trust that our people generally will note this fact. Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. In order to prove to the public that Glossine is the greatest and most meritorious of all hair tonics we will give free to every reader of this paper, not a sample, but a full size box. If Glossine was not the best hair tonic in all the whole wide world this offer would bankrupt us. Glossine (Queen of all hair tonics) is the most wonderful remedy for the human hair ever discovered and used. It is the most miraculous and mysterious power in lengthening, straightening and beautifying the human hair. It is the result of long years of careful study and the earnest researches of Miss Helen Martin, a beautiful and attractive woman who is acknowledged the most skillful and famous beauty doctor of the day. She is a wonderful and most magnificent specimen of womanly grace and beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely toools to be 30. When asked to so successfully preserve the attractiveness of her beauty, the master said, 'Why it is very simple to me and every woman, be she white or colored, or old or, as ugly as sin itself, can become pretty, sharply and graceful if she only do as I advise. As a child I never was considered pretty, in fact I was not even thought to be good looking, and for this very reason ever since I was a girl of 16, I have made a study of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bounteously bestowed upon us, there are hundreds of innocent mediums, which, after my long life of study and investigation, I have been able to successfully blend and formulae into various preparations which can be used to beautify the life and beauty of the hair and skin. I owe my own good looks and youthful appearance to these preparations which are the results of my life long work. As to Glossine I have never known it to fall to cause the hair to grow long, straight, soft and luxurious. It matters not how harsh and kinky it may be and I care not if it be short, broken, splitting at THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1905. the ends, or falling out, Glossine will positively make it long, soft, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair luster, length of life and beauty, and no head of hair can be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease and in any prevailing style desired. It will restore gray hair to its former color, make the hair grow out on all bald spots and on the temples where the hair is usually thin and unsightly. Glossine is highly, sweetly and most delicately perfumed, and its color and subsistence is very attractive to all." Seeing our great success and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of honest dealing, numerous unscrupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spurious and harmful compounds for the hair and skin, that cause the hair to fall, thus causing baldness, and mar and deface the delicate texture of the human skin. In their wicked desire to gain money, these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life itself. In order to discountenance and condemn such dishonest methods, we have a size package of Glossine to any reader of this paper, male or female, who will send their name and address. Do not delay. Write today. A postal do will do. We will also send our catalogue which describes in detail our hair tones, face bleachers and other toilet requisites. Address, Miss Helen Martin, care of Continental Chemical Co., 9 Governor street Richmond, Va. The first half of the week in court room eight was given up to a trial of George Sisco's case against one Clark, proprietor of several dairy lunch rooms in the business section of the city. Monday, Tuesday and a third day, the judge voted to the examination of witnesses on both sides. It seems that Sisco and several companions some months ago went into the Clark plACE in the Schofield building one evening at 8 o'clock for lunch and were refused service by an employee. They were en route to the theatre. Among the victims were the Clark (the co) who sued Clark for $500 damages under our Ohio Anti-Lynchming law Bohringer was a Mr. Spain, who testified that he had gone into the Clark place at the corner of Superior and Bond streets about six months ago, and was refused service by a waitress; that he appealed to Propritor Clark who said, "You colored boys hurt my trade. You must stay away." Another to testify was Ed. Dunjill, who claimed that he had visited the same restaurant with a friend from Oberlin or Washington, and received somewhat similar treatment, the difference being that when he appealed to Clark, he was ignored, the propriator taking refuge in the kitchen where he remained until Dunjill and friend, tired out with waiting, finally, he returned to work. Sisco's favor was Willie Green, son of Clerk John Green, of the government stamp department, Washington, D. C. He testified that he and Eugene Tobert went into Clark's place in the American Trust building in June, for lunch and was told by the server. Green insisted, and the waiter called a policeman, who upon his arrival refused to interfere. Then an attorney was telephoned for, and the waiter finally decided to at least make a pretense of serving the two he and Tobert sat upon, were unscrewed and taken off by the porter, who with the assistance of the waiter began moving the dishes from the counter. The porter then began varnishing the counter. Finally the waiter left the house with two halves of water and half water, without saucery, and two very lame ham sandwiches without plates. Upon being asked the cost, he replied, "no charge." Green said he gave him ten cents, which the waiter refused to accept, either throwing the money at him or upon the floor. The Plain Dealer of Tuesday said, "Green broke down and cried while on the witness stand in Judge Kennedy's court room yesterday afternoon * * * In the Z midst of his recital Green became so affected that he broke down, and the trial was suspended for several minutes, until his burst of tears had passed away." Like father, like son. It will be remembered that some years ago, in a case in the criminal court room, when present Judge Strimple (if memory serves us correctly) was prosecuting attorney or an assistant, John P. Green, Willie's father, both cried and prayed, this latter being done on bended knees, O! that bleeding heart! It was some time after this occurrence that The Gazette found a necessary solution to cut which the two striking portraits given in this article are produced. Frank A. Scott, of Newburg, was Clark's attorney, and vented his spleen against the Negro to his heart's content. At 2 o'clock Wednesday the judge completed what Attorney W. J. Hart, Sisco's legal representative, characterized as a fair charge to the jury, and the latter retired to endeavor to reach a verdict. Mr. Hart's conduct of the case including his eloquent and telling plea before the jury Wednesday morning, was one of the most pleasing efforts of the kind that have been offered in the court rooms of this city for many years. He is not only a fluent speaker, and logical reasoner, but also an aggressively enthusiastic worker in behalf of his clients. Correspondents Wanted. The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Wing's Decision Is Reversed. Washington, Jan. 10.—The supreme court of the United States yesterday reversed the finding of the district court for the Northern district of Ohio in the three Chinese exclusion cases of Jock Coe, Woo Joe and Bong Meng. The case had acquired some notoriety through the action of Judge Wing, of the district court, in refusing to file the papers in the case with the clerk of the court, on the ground that the district judge had not jurisdiction judge and not as district court. He had held that the Chinamen were not liable to exclusion. Emergency Board Gives Out Money, Columbus, B.

Phone Main 214 YARNS WITH A LAUGH Mark Twain tells a story that while traveling in Germany a man sitting next to him at a dinner in a hotel ordered a bottle of Johannesburg wine. When it was brought he saw on the bottle a label of Moselle, and called to it the attention of the manager, who exclaimed: "Ach! what a stupid donkey; I distinctly told him to put on the Johannesburg label." A blushing and pretty Swedish girl just arrived from the old country attended evening services at a Duluth church. The minister, seeing she was a stranger, shook hands with her at the close of the meeting and said he would find pleasure in calling her soon. Whereupon the girl hung her head and bashfully murmured: "Tank you, but ay have a fella." Mr. Campbell, the Irish solicitor-general, speaking the other day upon delusions, told a story of a north of Ireland Protestant who was perfectly sane save on one point. This stanch Protestant harbored the delusion that one of his legs belonged to a Roman Catholic and therefore when he went to bed every night he used to leave the Catholic leg outside the blanket by way of punishment. There had been a railway collision near a Scottish country town, and an astute local attorney had hurried to the scene of disaster. Noticing an old man with a badly damaged head lying on the ground, he approached him with notebook in hand. "How about damages, my man?" he began. The injured man waved him off with the remark: "Na, na; ye'll get nae damages fa me. It wasna me that hit yer bloomin' auld train." Many years of hard work on the farm had made the old man round-shouldered and his coat fitted badly. His son in the city sent him a coat stretcher on which to hang the coat at night. On his next visit to the farm the young man asked how the coat stretcher worked. His son told him "little embarrassed and then confessed: it on." said he. "It was real good if it send it. Your mother fastened it to my coat with tape, but I wasn't comfortable in it and I had to take it off." CHURCH PERSONALS. Bishop William T. Manning, of the recently created diocese of Herrisburg, will be one of the youngest, if not the youngest, of the Protestant Episcopal bishops. Mgr. Serafini is to be made a cardinal of Mexico, in appreciation of his latest work in bringing about harmony and improving the discipline of the churches in that country. Rev. Father Albert Nechauqet completed his four years' course in the propaganda at Rome this year. He said his first mass in August in Oklahoma City, and now assistant pastor at Muskogee, I. T. He is a full-blooded Potwatatonie and the first Indian priest. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, D. D., of Washington, D. C., who has just been accorded the honor of being elected chairman of the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal church, for almost 40 years has been one of the most prominent clergymen of his denomination. In connection with the consecration of Bishop Spalding, it is of interest to note that he was born at Erie, Pa., when his father was rector of the parish which he is now himself about to leave, and that a part of the present district of Salt Lake was once included in the jurisdiction of his father as bishop of Colorado. Dr. Macnamara, M. P., said at a clerical conference the other evening that if the clergymen of London were to spend a week under the present housing conditions of the poorer classes they would return to their homes the most violent set of socialists that ever breathed, and their first act would be a demonstration in Hyde Park.

A SOUL LET LOOSE A PSYCHOLOGICAL NARRATIVE JOHNSON had one pet theory which he was everlastingly letting loose upon me. His notion was that at night when the body was resting the spirit was not, and so-called "dreams" ensued. He saw no reason why the spirit need lay in the body during the night; in fact, he was quite certain that many a time his spirit has floated away to another spot, and had acted in divers ways, and what had appeared to him on the morrow to be a dream—or nightmare—was nothing less than a reality. His only regret was that his brain had no control over the doings of his spirit whilst his body slept. He insisted on dreaming about me one night, and got me to promise to keep wake and look out for him. I got a nasty cold by keeping the window open, but he never came—nether in substantial nor shadowy form—to the best of my knowledge. But he came the next morning in person and appeared to be mightily pleased with himself. "Well, old boy?" he said, as if he expected me to say something pleasant. "No, I'm not well," I thundered, "I've got a liquidified probabls through your tommofoery." "Wha—at?" he queried. "Why, I thought it worked well. I can swear in a court of law I dreamt about you, and distinctly remember speaking to you." "Get any answer?" I asked, cynically. "My dear fellow, we were chatting together for more than half an hour. Why I remember it as well as anything." "You've really got to get something for it, Johnson." I said. "You've got it bad. If anybody else said that to me I should immediately put him down as a raving lunatic. Do you mean to say that you pre-arranged to come here and that you came?" Johnson nodded, with the air of a man who had done something great. "Johnson," I said. "I don't want to call you an untruthful prevaricator, and I don't want to call you something that rhymes with fire—" "How long did you lie awake?" he questioned. "Like the bithering idiot that I was," I informed him, "I did not shut my eyes until after one o'clock—although I got to bed at half-past ten." "Awfly wrong, old chap," he said, apologetically, "but I don't think I left the house until—quite three. We must try again." I shook my head very decisively. "I'm not going to get another running nasal organ for anyone," I asserted. "As a friend—" he began. "No friend would wish me to go to the expense of purchasing extra handkerchiefs." "You see," explained the theorist, "the business didn't thoroughly work—except in my own case. I'm quite satisfied that I—or part of me—came, but that's not enough; I want you to behold me." I quoted a passage I learnt when an infant, and which I said I always acted up to: "Be the matter what it may Always speak the truth; If at work or if at play Always speak the truth." I thought Johnson looked in a trifle hurt, but, being enthusiastic, his ardor was but little damp, and he said that he did not wish me to say anything untruthful in any way; he simply wished me to quote facts. "To prove the case once for all," he said, anxiously, "I want you to come to me!" I absolutely refused. "Don't be so excessively skeptical and backward," he said. "It's all in the interest of science and science. I've proved to you—that is, I've told you—that I visited you last night. Evidently you don't know a spirit when you see one. Now I want you, directly you know. You don't know a spirit when thoughts entirely upon my rooms. I desire that you should for the time being endeavor to be oblivious of everything else, and try to force your spirit out of you by your will power." "And then—what?" "Then will it飞 to my rooms by thoroughly concentrating your thoughts upon the position of the same. Keep that up until you lose consciousness—and then we will see." "If I don't come by half-past one," said scantically "don't sit up for me." said, scceptically, "don't sit up for me." "You--you'll try and come, won't you?" he pleaded. I never saw him look more anxious. "But how--how shall I be dressed?" I asked, anxiously. "Don't be silly. No one can see your spirit." "But I shall be jolly cold, dressed like—that, shan't it? I'm not going to get rheumatism for anybody," I asserted. "You silly fellow," he explained, "why, your body will be in bed all the time; it's only your mind, as it were, that's coming to see me." "But how--how shall you know me?" I asked, somewhat uncertain. "Look here, if I'm coming in my clothes—I'm not coming fooling round in that draughty condition." "As you like," almost groaned Johnson. "But half a minute," I said; "if this sort of thing goes on, you know, perhaps my spirit will be getting loose when I don't want it to—and be wearing my clothes out. I'm not going to pay any more taller bills, I tell you." "Your brain will be perfect master of your mind," philosophically put in Johnson, with a superlative learned air. "But how on earth am I going to get from our house to yours? Shall I bring my legs with me?" "Thought travels quickly—you think and you act. You've heard the phrase 'quitk as thought.' Well, directly the thought thoroughly masters the mind the action will take place." "How shall I get in your room? Shall I knock? Or, perhaps, I shouldn't be bringing my knuckles with me! I say—I guess I shall look jolly funny. Do you think a policeman will stop me?" I asked. "To the outsider you will be invis- ible. The body is all that is visible in man—the spirit for what it looks like might be 'night est.' There is nothing to see." "And yet it's I all the time?" I said, with a huge laugh, which disconcerted Johnson. "But—how shall you know me?" "I shall expect you. It is mind to mind. Our minds will work in unison, and your thoughts will be my thoughts. I shall keep my whole energy transfixed upon your coming. I shall speak with you, and you will reply." "Then it is usual for a spirit to bring his throat and lungs with him, is it?" I queried, incredulously. "I say—it will look beastly funny to see a throat and a set of lungs waltzing about, not it?" "You're frivolous," he chastised me with. "You do not see the possibilities." "I see the impossibilities, though." I ventured. "First of all, as I asked before, how am I—even if I consent to my invisible portion taking a constitutional after supper—to get into your house? Please don't suppose, my dear Johnson, that I'm going to fly through your bedroom window. I'm not; flying is entirely out of my line. If I have the control of my spirit to will it to come I'm not going to treat it shabbily by making it fly through a window. If it comes at all, it's coming in the orthodox way. But again, I summed up, how "can I knock at your door when my knuckles are with the other part of me in bed? I can't ring the bell, either. Furthermore, I can't turn the handle of the door even if you promised not to fasten it." "You're getting practical now, old chap," said Johnson, looking pleased. "I agree with you—there must be no obstruction in the way. And there shall not be. I will leave the door ajar, and sleep in the room nearest, and greet you as soon as you come in." "You--you're sure you'll know me? I shouldn't like to come all that way and feel like a perfect stranger, of course. And I don't want to get in the wrong room, do you hear?" I said, emphatically. "Just for this once I'm going to do the thing you ask, but I'm going to do it properly, and if everything isn't just as I want it, I shall go back. I suppose you'll have a little refreshment ready for me on my advent? Oh, I forget, of course—I shan't have any—any accommodation for holding supper with me, shall I? Of course not. But I shall expect a drink of some sort, because I understand that I shall have my throat." Johnson agreed. "It's a bargain," he said. "I shall be anxiously waiting for you from half-past one until three o'clock." "And if I miss the train—miss the connection as you might say—you won't wait, will you? I'll try and leave our house—weather and other circumstances permitting—at 1:30 a.m. Shall come in my brown suit, old chap, because I shall feel more comfortable—and refined—if I'm properly attired. Shant's bother with a collar, because shall have my throat with me. But one word—what about me returning home? Shant's I be too tired? Besides, it will be getting light, and I don't want a crowd following me home." "You'll stay overnight; of course," said Johnson. "We'll make a night of it." "Good," I said. "I'll come—of course, all being well. You'll send a cab up to our house for my other part, because we shall have to go down to business together." We shook hands on it. "Half-past one," he said, "you'll start the thought." I agreed. "Yes, don't be late." were his last words, and I went into the house. That night I went to bed after midnight, and wondered what was going to happen. Johnson is, as I said before, beyond me in many respects, but I tried to pin the full force of my faith in him and his theory, just for this once. I jumped into bed—leaving my window open again—and started on my thinking mission. I pictured Johnson's rooms, and again and again I pictured them—until I got completely sick of the sight of them. But I persisted gamely, and at times I almost felt myself moving. I conscientiously tried my best for the good of the cause, and more than once I called myself and my adjunct sundry uncomplimentary adjectives for their inability to separate. I had fairly got Johnson's bedroom now into my brain, a drowsiness came over me—and I lost consciousness. . . When I awoke the next morning I was a firm believer in Johnson and his pet theory. I had certainly been dreaming—(in my ignorance I put it that way)—and I recalled how I had spent a portion of the night at his residence. I was sure he'd be pleased with me. He called round the next morning, looking most disappointed, however. "You—you never came," he said, sullyly, "and I left the door wide open all night for you." I assured him that, as far as I could say, a portion of me had called upon him in the interim. His face lighted up in an instant. "Oh, then it was you, after all," he said, looking relieved. "That's all right." "Then some—somebody came all right?" I queried, nervously. "Yes, and—and they took my best clothes! And—and my watch has gone! One of your jokes, I suppose?" "I—I never saw any watch nor clothes," I stammered, confusedly. "You asked me to leave the door open—" "My dear sir—" "You say you came." "My dear Johnson—" "You deny having taken them?" "Certainly. In fact, I'm really—I'm really not sure whether I came at all," I blurted out. "None of your larks. Hand over the articles, old man." "Don't be such an unmitigated ass. You know perfectly well that—I even if I did come—could not possibly, having no arms of substance, have taken away your things. I'd no watch-pocket on me, had I7. And, look here, Johnson—I said, savagely, "this is all the thanks I get for ever seeing my precious invisible journey to the dangers of a midnight journey—we'd better part. And, mark you, if ever your confounded spirit comes dodging through my windows again—I'll break every bone in its blessed neck!" And I banged the door in his face—Ally Sloper.

REFUSE TO BE PAROLED GENS.FOCK AND SMIRNOFF HAVE DECIDED TO GO TO JAPAN AS PRISONERS OF WAR. JAPAN INTENDS TO FLOAT A NEW LOAN Nearly 900 Russian Officers and 23,491 Men Surrendered at Port Arthur —Russian Ships Retrace Their Way to European Waters. Tokio, Jan. 9.—The Japanese intend to establish a naval station at Port Arthur, Vice Admiral Shibayama will probably be placed in charge of it. The military administration at Port Arthur will retain only a small garrison as soon as the prisoners are withdrawn and order is restored. The fleet is busily engaged in clearing mines, but owing to their great number navigation will be unsafe for a long time. Only government craft will be allowed to enter the harbor. It is proposed shortly to float a fourth domestic war loan under the same conditions as the third was negotiated. The transfer of prisoners at Port Arthur was completed Saturday. The total number of officers transferred was 878; men 23,491. Headquarters Japanese Army at Port Arthur, Jan. 9.—Lieut. Gens Fock and Smirnroff have decided to go to Japan as prisoners of war. Smirnroff was in command of the forts at Port Arthur and Fock commanded the fourth division of the army there. Gen. Fock says he will drill his men in Japan. Fifty per cent' of the Russian officers will go to Japan and share with their men the fate of prisoners of war. There are five Russian admirals at Port Arthur, one of whom will go to Japan. Among the admirals is a prince. Suda Bay, Jan. 9.—Admiral Volkorsam's division of the Russian second Pacific squadron, consisting of the battleship Oleg, the cruisers Izumrud, Dnieper and Rilon, and the torpedo boat destroyers Grozny, Gromk and Rezity, left 'Sunday for Port Said. These vessels passed through the Sea canal, eastward bound, early in December, and are now seemingly retracing their way to European waters. St. Petersburg, Jan. 9—Gen. Kuropatkin reports the frustration of a Japanese attempt to surprise his center front the night of January 6 and the bayonetting of 21 Japanese the night of January 3 by a cavalry reconnaissance in the valley of the Tatts river. The conferences which Emperor Nicholas has been holding with members of the council of the empire, M Witte and other advisers on the internal and external situation have not been concluded, but nothing has occurred which would indicate that the government is prepared to depart from its present program of continuing the war to the bitter end. Nevertheless, talk of peace was heard Sunday in many quarters, the foundation for it being ascribed to Foreign Minister Lamsdorf's alleged position on the ground that, as allies from the humiliation to military prestige involved, it would only mean the relinquishment of Manchuria, to which Russia already is formally pledged. The belief which existed in exceptionally well informed diplomatic circles that Japan would follow the fall of Port Arthur with moderate peace propositions has not been realized. RAN INTO A FREIGHT TRAIN. Locomotive of a Flyer Demolished a Caboose and Six Freight Cars. Bradford, Pa., Jan 9.—The Pittsburg and Buffalo "flyer" northbound on the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh railroad, crashed into the rear end of a freight train standing near River side Junction, N. Y., yesterday. A flagman, it is claimed, was sent out to warn the approaching "flyer," but he was not seen by the engineer of the latter train. The passenger locomotive was derailed and overturned in the coach of the onrush coaches and averting perhaps great loss of life, as the train was under full headway. The caboose and six cars of the freight were wrecked. But one passenger, Fred Leyde, of Punxsutawney, Pa., was hurt. A Maryland Town Is Flooded. Port Deposit, Md., Jan. 9. -Serious trouble from the ice and high water is feared by the residents of this town. A gorge at Perryville, three miles below here, has backed the water up to a depth of six feet above high water mark and it is slowly rising. In the lower part of the town the railroad tracks for a distance of four miles from a station stroyed and the roadbed is covered with ice and wreckage for a distance of three miles to the northward. SCIENTIFIC STATEMENTS Nearly the entire output of radium is now obtained from American ores. Statistics show that from 1801 to 1892 more than 230 periodic comets have been observed with precision. Before the Paris Academy of Sciences M. Bouchard stated that mice exposed to examinations from radium died in six hours. An old idea was that magnetism is due to some perularity of the iron atom, although this metal is not magnetic when heated, but it now appears that magnetic properties now depend upon some special grouping of the atoms within the molecule. Renewed speculation as to the cause of the mysterious force known as magnetism has naturally followed Dr. Hensler's production of magnetic alloys from non-magnetic materials. One of his alloys—containing 60 per cent. of copper, 26 of manganese and 14 of aluminum—proved practically as magnetic as iron, but it is not as strong and capable as or forged. On attempting to increase the maleability by adding iron, all magnetic properties astonishingly disappeared. WENT TOO MUCH BY NAME Lady Hotel Guest Receives Some Enlightenment from Colored Waiter. A woman lives at one of the Kansas City hotels who has the reputation of being rather finicky and hard to please in manners. Mannerly day or no, we ate at the related Kansas City hotel, after looking over the dessert list, she decided or some ice cream pudding. The meal had been one with which she had been able to eat but when she had about half finished the dessert she called the wafer over and said, "George, what do you mean by calling this ice cream pudding? There isn't any ice cream about it, and you know it." "Yes'm," said the wafer. "I know dereen't no ice cream in it. Dae's jen' a snowball. I don't know. I do 'Well,' she continued. "I think that if they give a dish such a name they ought to make it conform to the name, and if you call this ice cream pudding, ought to bring some ice cream with it." "Yes'm," answered the servant, "but you know we can't allus to it that way. You know we want to bring a cottage in with cottage pudding." The waiter's reply brought a burst of laughter from the people who heard the conversation, and since then the woman's discourses of the menu have been few and infrequent. SAN FRANCISCO'S CLIMATE.
