THE The Demi-Season Toilets COSTUMES DE DEMI-SEASON. LONG late in the winter we see blossoming forth between-season gowns that give prophesy of what is to be brought forth later. We show in the illustration two that are pretty and suggestive. Soft, pliable material should be used for the afternoon gown with the full skirt and half-fitting bodice. The collar should be of velvet and open over a white chemisette. Velvet buttons ornament the front of the bodice, and the skirt is trimmed with rows of velvet baby ribbon. The other model is of cashmere, the vest the new checked style that promises to be the rage this spring; the one heren depicted is of red and golden brown, and the same checked material is noticed forming the deep cuffs; the tabs on the coat, and the front save a row of silk buttons. The skating costume seen now, for late winter is usually the skating season, is built on sensible lines, comfort and convenience ruling; it is sometimes as much as four inches from the ground, the jacket is always short to allow of unimpeded movement, and the armholes, as well as the waist fastening, is plenty large. Small, flat, oval turbans shown in the windows, summery-looking affairs that seem shivery now; but occasionally one sees them reproduced in winter stuffs, and they look very new and fashionable. Without doubt, they will obtain the coming season. They are simply trimmed, a fold and a chou all the addition put on at the milliner's. The tricorne hat continues in favor, is worn by maid and matron. Generally at this time of year purple begins to blossom forth—maybe because spring produces artificial violets as prodigally as real ones—and already the violet lady is stepping forward. We see violet hats, and once in awhile a whole violet suit. A very pretty spring-suggesting cos- Redingote to Retain Popularity Redingote to Retain Popularity ASHION is nothing if not capricious, there is nothing so fickle, so inconsistent. Last year, at the beginning of the season, we were told that the three-quarter coat was the only thing, wherefore we purchased the "only thing," and behold by the time cold weather had set in, earnest long coats were quite out of favor, short, waist-length jackets the only really stylish ones to wear. But now the long coat is having its innings, for the moment it is by far the most elegant of outside garments. The redingote with long, straight lines is now the wrap most important, bears off the palm for the winter; and with the furs left off it will do excellently well for spring. It has the full bust, generous skirt, large sleeves, and the trimming at the waist line usually needed for the long, princess-like coat. Only the perfectly proportioned can wear the redingote built on regulation lines, simple princess model. But a girdle effect, a bit of trimming at waist or hip, makes the long, tight wrap possible for almost every one. One of the several advantages of the redingote is that it can be worn with wartous skirts; it looks very well with the short skirt, and with the long gown it is elegant. But the skirt over which it is to be worn should not be trimmed very elaborately, as this might interfere with the set of the redingote. The stores are now selling left-over auits of redingote style at very reasonable prices, and as many of these are of light-weight material it would be a piece of economy to purchase one for spring wear. Furs, too, are selling now at wonderfully low prices, even the fashionable and expensive ermine going for but a fraction of what it brought earlier. And ermine seems to be in, and it is a fur becoming to women of all ages, bestows a youthful look on her so fortunate as to sport it. The other Sunday I saw two elderly women on the avenue whose faces looked fairly babyish rising above the exquisite ermine capes they wore. One was gowned in delicate gray and white, and the white, yellow-spotted ermine was just the right finishing touch for her costume. The other wore blue volle, a long gray cloak, a cape-collar of ermine. K F tume noticed the other day in a shop window was of apple green and peach blossom pink, the green cloth smoothly outlining the figure with the higher busi line now preferred; and the pink color came in the hat, the entire brim of the chapeau consisting of small pink blush roses. It looked charming against the foreground of snow without, and appealed to every passer-by, spoke to the winter-weary ones of warm breezes traveling their way. American dressmakers are learning what French ones have realized for some time, that short skirts would be less ungainly if held out at the back—the French dressmakers run ruffles up the back of the pedestrian petticoat. This might be a good idea also for the longer skirts, as they are becoming more and more voluminous about the feet. Capes are making headway, and especially for evening; although a wrap, which looks like a Hungarian army coat, has perhaps more reason for popularity, it being warmer than a cape and allowing the wearer to hold up her trained skirt. It also has this advantage, it can be worn either in the carriage or on the street car. It is loose, sleeveless, and has a deep cap that protects the arms. That the orient is influencing us is shown by the fact that some ladies are wearing regular Chinese coats, great, loose, heavily embroidered, gray colored things. But their vogue will not be great—they cost too much. Short capes as yet are not seen, either the long ones are worn, or else those fitting close at the waist, very much after the style of "wraps" affected ten years ago by elderly ladies, but it is quite possible that by next winter the short cape will have arrived. The good old "circular" is coming back again, and a graceful, sensible garment it is, too. Soft cloth is liked for this in preference to other materials. Vests are a feature of the redingotes, as they have been of the coats and bodices in general all winter. Various materials are employed for these vests, velvet, satin, leather; for the spring pique is promised. Coats can be remodelling or trimming, the formation of a vest, trimming to enlarge the sleeves, and fitting a skirt of some sort SMART REDINGOTE on at the waist line. Wespoke last week of the prospect of coat-tails were to be seen on everything, and the last few days have made us feel more and more that this style is to rule. In selecting the hat to be worn with the redingote, be sure to wear the latter when trying on at the milliners; so much depending for the success of the costume on the lines of the hat carrying out those of the coat. Be careful not to purchase one too high and narrow, or the good lines will be carried to exaggeration, give an unpleasantly drawn-out effect. ELLEN OSMOND SMART REDINGOTE. In Union There Is Strength. GA 7. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1905. TAYLOR'S TALK! The Great Composer, Conductor and Musician Tells of His Visit to This Country in November of Last Year—Wiped His Feet on Her Hair — Presented a Massive Silver Loving Cup—Interesting. Through the courtesy of Mrs. F. J. Loudin, of Raventa, we are enabled to give an interesting account of the return to his home in England of the great Afro-English composer, conductor and musician, Mr. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. It will be remembered that he visited this country in November and December of last year, conducting concerts in Washington, S. Coleridge Taylor. Baltimore and Chicago, and being befited by the best musicians of those cities as well as New York and Boston. The Croydon Guardian and Survey County Gazette of January 7 contained the following and much more, after announcing the fact that Mr. Taylor reached on Christmas eve: "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor gave our representative a very cordial greeting. It did not take a moment to gather that his American tour had given him supreme satisfaction. He talks with great elation, but none the less with the modesty that doth become genius. Washington, New York, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia were the principal cities visited, and in every case overwhelming hospitality was offered to the young colored company who is not yet 20 years of age. "Affectionate warmth of age." Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's leave-taking. There was a public reception in the Colored Odd Fellows' hall, Washington, D. C, U. S. A., which is on M. street, northwest, and the American and British flags were interwoven in gay variety in the decorations. After a prolonged hand-shaking ceremony, the guest of the evening was presented with a massive silver loving cup, upon the three panels of which was the following inscription: A Token of Love and Esteem to Samuel Coleridge Taylor, of London, England, in appreciation of his achievements in the realms of music. Presented by the S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral society of Washington, D. C., to their distinguished guest on the occasion of his first visit to America to conduct 'Hiawatha' and 'Songs of Slavery,' November 16, 17 and 18, 1904. "It is well for us, O brother, That you come so far to see us." "The quotation, by the way, is from 'Hiawatha.' At the close of the reception the members of the chorus sang the following specially written ode to the tune of the British national anthem: O thou illustrious one, Whose genius as the sun Illumes our race; 'Twas love that brought thee here To fill our hearts with cheer, And may our love sincere Repay the grace! Thy music wondrous sweet, With beauties rare replete, Charms every heart; Though praises we have won, Our work has but begun; We'll study on and on, Each one his part. As meeting brought its cheer, So parting brings its tear, Its grief and pain; And when the ocean wide Shall bear the tree on its tide May winds propitious guide Thee home again! Though earthly joys must end, And friend must part with friend, Yet love abuses. Our hearts where morn'ries dwell Worry, worry, worry tell, But, speechless, beat farewell, A fond farewell. Interview with the President "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor cherishes very pleasant memories of a long chat with President Roosevelt at the White House, a valuable memo of which is a photo over the president's own signature. The portrait is a very happy one, doing full justice to what Americans describe as 'the smile that won't come off.' "It goes without saying that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor met Booker T. Washington, the great leader of the social, political and educational amancipation of the Negro, himself a colored man of wonderful intellect and energy. Much time was profitably spent with him, the beginning of what doubtless prove to be a long and intimate friendship. Indeed, Mr. Coleridge-Taylor provisionally accepted an invitation to visit Booker Wash- ington at Tuskegee, in the sunny south where it is a marvelous work of art. "On this question of color, to revert to interview form again. I only had one upset, remarked Mr. Colridge-Taylor. 'It was on the railway, and I was talking to a Yorkshire man when somebody interfered. The newspapers made a couple of columns or so of it, and they took my side. It was like this, as soon as people found out I was English they were quite different. Of course, at first sight they could not reconcile the absence of two wag in a man of color like me, but I was sorry for colored people generally. I heard some pitiful stories about their treatment. I met a young colored lady of great educational attainments and of refined tastes. She was traveling south of Washington, and was turned out of the car. Colored people and whites are separated when traveling on the other side of a line drawn south of Washington. In the car for colored passengers a hulking longer wiped his feet on the hair of her head. Other indignities, too, were perpetrated, for which there was absolutely no redress. Think of it, if the aggrieved parties were whites! When I go to Tuskegee it will be in Mr. Booker Washington's own private car, and someone halfway along it. What is so deplorable to me is that there is as yet little discrimination between the educated decent-minded black, and the idle and semi-civilized man of color. This, understand me, is from an English point of view. The fact is, no Englishman can get quite inside the question, it is really so subtle." "One great point about my visit in the minds of the agents and managers was to see how this color prejudice would come off in my case. When they found that there was no feeling against a Britisher born, though a man of dark skin, they were very anxious to come to terms." Another Visit Next Autumn. "Did you accept any offer, then?' Well, I have an agreement here for the next fall, and it will most probably be settled very shortly. The proposal at present is that I shall conduct some 20 orchestra and choral concerts. I shall then take in Tuskegee. "Further conversation showed that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor will become still more of a star in American musical circles than hitherto. The publishers made many requests for original compositions, almost to dunning point. Mr. Coleridge-Taylor consented to arrange a volume of Negro melodies for the pianas—in fact, it is about ready for publication now—to be added to the valuable collection known as 'The Musicians' Library. He is next going to score them for performance in Boston Symphony and other orchestras. "The composer of 'Hiawata' naturally visited Longfellow's home at Cambridge, Mass., and viewed the poet's study. He also called on Mrs. Loudin, at Ravenna, O., widow of Frederick J. Loudin, of Loudin's Fisk Jubilee Singers, who has many friends in Croydon. Niagara as well came within the tour, the first impressions of which were not of disappointment, for it seemed a 'big thing.' "Talk, of course, ranged over general topics. 'The only alarming part about my American experiences.' Mr. Coleridge-Taylor opined with force and feeling, 'was the recklessness on the railways. Human life seems very cheap indeed when in transit. I happened to pass the scenes of three recent smashes. As I have lived in England all my life, and have never seen one here, naturally I did not trust my self with blithestone eyes to the role of the railway. Of the railway and rolling stock. Of course, the appointments of the cars are most elegant and comfortable.' "To show how promoters of concerts can 'hustle,' Mr. Coleridge-Taylor instanced one being arranged for him in Chicago at only ten days' notice. The hall, by the way, was full, though there were nine other concerts the same evening. "A tremendous number of presents were brought back, the photo memosites alone making a big display. The Washington Normal school and the Armstrong Manual Training school, in the same city, both institutions for colored people, made valuable gifts to their dark-skinned friend. The most ancient native workmanship, from the handful of survivors of the one-time warring and scalp-hunting tribe of Zunis. "An unusual custom which Mr. Coleridge-Taylor had to face, and take with sang-froid, was the frequent public presentation of baskets of flowers. These, no doubt, were accepted with the grace of a lady. Of such he received about 50, and brought the faded remains of one home as a kind of curiosity. In answer to a candid final question by the interviewer after plucking up some courage, Mr. Coleridge-Taylor said: "You may tell your readers I certainly prefer England, but—well, to be truthful, America as a country for an occasional visit is very fine indeed."

In This Country Interestingly Discussed by Mr. Daniel Murray. Many Leading Statesmen Had "Colored Blood" in Their Veins—An Intensely Interesting Narrative of Facts—"Stranger Than Fiction." PART IV. (Continued from Last Week.) This recalls an incident well-known to scholars of American church history. In the "Annals of the Free-will Baptist Church and Ministers," there is given the facts in relation to the parentage of the Rev. Charles Bowles, who in his day was one of the most famous preachers of that domination in New England. Dr. Bowles was a quadron and was cousin to General Daniel Morgan of revolutionary fame, his father being a mulatto servant in General Morgan's house, and his mother General Morgan's niece. There is also a separate life of Rev. Charles Bowles in which the same facts are narrated. Mr. Bowles married a very estimable white lady n Vermont, by whom he had a large family of children, some of whom attained to the distinguished. All scholars know of the celebrated Mr. Bowles Haynes, a mulatto, who for years worked at Vernon, New York churches in the Congregational faith. Like Dr. Bowles his mother was a white woman, while his father was a colored man. These facts in his history were well-known since they were published in book form in T. M. Cooley's "Sketches of the Life and Character of the Rev. Lemuel Haynes, A. M." New York: Harper and Brother, 1839, and attained to several editions. Nobody cared or in any manner objected to Mr. Haynes, who married, September 22nd, 1783, Miss Elizabeth Babit, a member of one of the most prestigious white families in Connecticut. She bore him nine children, some of whom attained to high distinction in New England. Mr. Haynes was born at Hartford, Conn., July 18th, 1753, and died September 28th, 1833. Haynes was noted for his intellectual gifts, and attained to fame as a preacher, particularly funeral service. He also no longer to no preacher in New England in his lifetime, and the many instances, scattered through the animals of literature of man with the African race in some degree, who have attained to high fame in the world of letters and whose fame the African race is entitled to share, but who have lost by non-association their connection with the race, and people have either forgotten the facts or the principals have conspired to conceal it. Therefore a systematic effort should be made to get this credit. I have it from the highest authority, from a gentleman who at one time represented this country abroad in a high diplomatic station, and who knew him intimately in Cincinnati, that the late Lafcadio C. Hearn, was undoubtedly a quadron. The very equivocal or ambiguous biographical account of his birth, etc., given by him and found in the books, is so incredible that one, after reading it, is ready to believe that he was a quadron, as is herein set forth. a gentleman who for years worked on the Cincinnati Inquirer, who is in the government service at Wellington. I sought him to learn whether he knew anything confirmatory of the above information. Mr. Hearn. He recalled at once a conversation with the editor when the fact came out that there was, before his connection with the paper, a colored man of whom he often heard them speak, who was very brilliant and who had gone to the east and married a princess, he believed. The truth is that Mr. Hearn went to Japan, married a Japanese woman and died there September 16th, 1904. It is known that Mr. Hearn lived for years in Louisiana, and there it is claimed he was born, and that he was a Creole or of mixed blood. In the catalogue of books written by him there is seldom mentioned made of one on the Creole idioms of Louisiana, a dictionary of Creole proverbs selected from six Creole dialects, etc. This was published in New York in 1882, a copy of which is in the Library of Congress. This rather suggests that Mr. Hearn was longer in New Orleans, or Louisiana than the short time indicated in the biographical accounts of him, and rather confirms, by his intimate knowledge of their various dialects, that he was of Creole mixed blood. From my investigation of the color problem made with a view of publishing a history of the intellectual development of the colored race, I believe the solution will come sooner than many believe and that the intense feeling in the south on this color question, which is pictured by the New York Mall as nothing less than "race mania," will give way to reason and disappear, and the relations of the races will be as is now the case in the West Indies and the island of Mauritius. No man with a brain of intelligence believes that the Negro can force himself into the society of a white man who does not want him. To believe otherwise and the talk otherwise is indeed race madness. In every case where a black man and a white man is seen in intimate business or social relations, it follows, as the night the day, that it is mutually agreeable to them and in no manner concerns anyone else. Says Mr. W. P. Livingstone in "Black Jamaica" 1889, "There is no (Continued on Third Page.) 2 THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY.

THE SON OF THE LATE SENATOR BRUCE. Young Roscoe Conkling Bruce betrays rather a niggress spirit in his attempt to traduce his own race, rather than exhibit their redeeming parts. It is the custom of the southern press to depreciate and denounce the Afro-American, to tell of his vices and to know nothing of his virtues. In this, Mr. Bruce has simply followed in line with the most malignant feeling that characterizes American life. He has much yet to learn before he shall have acquired even the wisdom and experience of those less in years than himself. He takes the ground that northern Negroes are excessively criminal. It goes without saying that in thus criminating the race, that he himself is in criminal error and even though he knew not whereof he was speaking, he is not to be excused. This is not the first assault he has made upon his own race. Yet we fail to discover one brave and honest motive for such conduct. We suspect, however, that the young man is inclined to truckle to southern sentiment. Nothing more and nothing less, for we observe that on other occasions he has been a ready tool in striking at "the under dog," yet he dared not once lift a hand to smite the dog that is on top. His mother was for many years an honored public school teacher of this city, but Bruce ignores this fact and spirit which in so many instances contributed to the worth and honor of Negro character in the north! Perhaps Mr. Bruce believes himself a competent advisor for his people, and the taking of an ordinary prize at Harvard college may have in some way affected his brain. But this should not be, for, far back in the 50's of the last century, our boys did as much. Leaving college, he has now and then appeared before assemblies of our people in the south only to humiliate and disgust them with the unpardonable presumption that he has an endowed right to subordinate the minds of his hearers. Poor Roscoe Conkling Bruce! Let him bear in mind that man is not necessarily a horse, because born in a stable, neither is he more safe in counsel to his race upon whatever grounds he bases his assumptions. Is he the son of Senator Bruce? NO CONFLICT IN THE LAW. One of our able contemporaries expresses surprise that we demand a reduction of southern representation. Well indeed the demand is not made as a remedy for southern disfranchisement but as a restriction upon those states that are now exercising usurped authority. It is done most assuredly to curtail unwarranted power to those who have suppressed Negro suffrage. Then let the reduction be made and the defendant states in question must in course of time discover their own blunder and be forced to repeal the law which disfranchise the Negro. Congress is the law making power of the government and we can reach no other conclusion, but that amendments remaining unchanged, it is designed to right and redress the wrong done to the disfranchised citizen. We, too, are doubly surprised that our contemporary friends should feel any alarm as to what congress may do in this direction. The fourteenth amendment does not sanction and legalize the disfranchise of citizens upon any cause. The spirit and import of that amendment favors emphatically and without any exception, the enfranchise of American citizens. It means that in every instance, and in no way contemplates disfranchisement. Certain southern states, contrary to the constitution, have denied to Afro-Americans the right of suffrage, and the fourteenth amendment simply declares that the rate of representation in said states shall be reduced. To reduce representation in any state of the union is but to regulate the apportioned numbers in population according to what the law demands. Why should any of the defendant states be allowed representation not justly theirs? Who dares offer himself as the representative of a disfranchised constituepcy? It is an imposition upon all states loyal to the sisterhood that these defendant states should be allowed their exercise of a privilege not guaranteed under the constitution. In the face of enlightened wisdom and our federal constitution Afro-Americans have been openly and flagrantly robbed of the right of suffrage. Instead of imposing the mild restriction of reduction in representation, the congress of this nation should declare martial law over those states which are in fact in downwright rebellion against the government of the United States. Would martial law affect the constitutional rights of American citizens or would it not serve as a means of bringing the rebellious into submission to law and order? We deplore this "Rip Van Winkle" idea that harm must come to the wronged and innocent, because justice demands the enforcement of the law. Then how, in all reason, can it be argued that the fourteenth amendment has no bearing upon the question of Afro-American disfranchisement? Reduction in representation points immediately and directly to disfranchised citizens unduly represented. Neither Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, nor John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, are entitled to represent disfranchised Afro-Americans who have no voice in choosing who should represent them. It is contrary to the spirit and genius of American statutes that any proposition of law is designed to refute the other. No two propositions of law diametrically opposed to each other are contained in the constitution and it is misleading in the extreme to hold that the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment involves the abrogation of the fifteenth.

STRIKE MOVEMENT SPREADS While St. Petersburg and Moscow Arr Calm, the Workmen in Poland and a Siberian City Continue to Cause Trouble. St. Petersburg, Feb. 2.—Personal assurances of his intention to ameliorate the conditions and remove the causes, in so far as they are economic, which led to the recent strike, were delivered by Emperor Nicholas yesterday to 34 workingmen representing all the leading factories of St. Petersburg, who, at his invitation, journeyed to Tsarskoe-Selo and were received in audience in the hall of the Alexander palace. This interview face to face with their "little father," in whom their faith has not been shaken by the events of the bloody Sunday of January 22, has had a far greater and more reassuring effect than any number of proclamations by ministers and governor generals, and the workmen of St. Petersburg are now generally inclined to accept the promises of Gov. Joseph Koehler, the Minister Kekovseff at their face value. The gift by the imperial family of $25,000 to aid the families of the victims of the conflict on January 22 also has had an excellent effect, and as the news slowly permeates the laboring classes of Russia it is expected that it will make them content to wait for the promised reforms. Like a wave caused by the falling of a stone, the strike movement, however, is spreading over the great sea of Russian industrial life, and while St. Petersburg and Moscow, where the trouble began, are now placed in the heart of Poland and other provinces are not yet calm, and the ripple has reached to far off Irkutsk and other Siberian towns. Emperor Nicholas adopted the traditional fatherly tone in his talk with the workmen. He chided them for allowing themselves to be misled into engaging in a movement imperilring the internal order of Russia and aiding the foreign foe and for attempting to demand by force what he otherwise would be willing to do voluntarily. The workmen received the royal assent, and were instructed to attend after a lunch at the imperial table returned to St. Petersburg in the best of humor to report to their fellows the words of his majesty. The action of the St. Petersburg manufacturers in placing themselves in the hands of the government in the matter of the adjustment of the main points of the dispute and to grant the men pay for the time they have been on strike, not as a matter of right, but as a matter of duty, in aid of the sufferers among the families of their workmen, are expected to add to the prevailing good feeling. The gossip to the effect that M. Bouligan, former governor of Moscow will succeed Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky in the ministry of the interior is another straw tending to confirm the surmise that Grand Duke Sergius is the dominant influence in the grand ducal faction. The appointment of Gen. Treppoff to the governor generalship of St. Petersburg, who was Sergius' nominee, narrowed the power of the minister of the interior. A STRANGE STORY. A Young Woman Sweats in Court that Herself Barely Wearing Her Restored by Prayer Chicago, Feb. 2. A miracle, brought about by prayer, was sworn to in court yesterday by Miss Inga Hanson, a former member of the Salvation Army, who is on trial here charged with perjury in connection with a personal damage suit brought by her against the Chicago City Railway Co. Under oath she testified that the alleged miracle restored her sight, speech and hearing. This remarkable explanation came from the lips of the young woman as the answer to a charge that her alliments had been conceived to further a $50,000 conspiracy, had been adroitly simulated through five years of litterally illogically ceased. The scene of the alleged violation was in Richmond, Va., and, according to the girl's claims, was produced by prayer with an itinerant Methodist missionary who visited her. Miss Hanson lost her suit against the street railway company. The Battle Decided Nothing. Russian Headquarters, Huan Mountain, Feb. 2.

Cotton weaving has done more for Great Britain within the last century than any one other industry. The Indians of Central and South America have for centuries used a loom so elaborate that ours is, comparatively speaking, but a slight improvement upon it. Another purely savage invention, which is perhaps the most familiar object of modern life, is the tobacco pipe—not only the common clay which the North American Indians molded centuries ago out of the red sandstone of Colorado, but the wooden pipe, the prototype of the every-day brier. We should never have had the Panama hat but for the quick-fingered Indians of the Isthmus of Panama. Even to-day their secret process of seasoning the grass blades used in weaving these hats remains unrivaled. Basket makers of the same region make baskets which hold water without leaking—another invention which is quite beyond us. Felting was invenved by Polynesian savages, and brought by the Hawaiian natives to a perfection we have never excelled. They not only make coverings for their houses and blankets out of the felt, but by pounding the inner bark of certain trees succeed in producing soft and comfortable seamless garments of this material, such as sleeveless coats and cloaks. Mortar was made by the people of Tahita when our ancestors were shivering in holes in the rocks. They dived into the sea, brought upumps of wood for burned in plug, using wood as a mold mixed the lime they got in this fashion with sharp sand and water. With this mixture the ingenious savage plastered the walls and floors of his house, and a better mortar could not be obtained. BITS BY THE BABES. Old Gentleman (to little girl who is weeping bitterly)—Why, what are you crying about, little girl? Little Girl—Oh, I don't know, 'Cause I'm a woman, I s'pose. Mamma—Harry, you have again failed to do as you were told. I am afraid that everything I tell you goes in at one ear and out at the other. Harry—Well, mamma, why don't you stop one of 'em up? Margaret, who is half-past three, is fond of corn, which she had been accustomed to eat off the cob. One day this summer some cut-off corn was passed to Margaret. "Oh, I don't care for that," she said; "I want the corn with a handle to it." Little Bertle saw his mamma oil the hinge of the kitchen door when it squeaked. That evening when he heard a cricket chirp he said: "What is that noise, mamma?" "That is a cricket, Bertle," his mother answered. Then suddenly Bertle ran for the machine oil can and said: "Let's oil it, mamma; it squeaks." Wee Hostess-Mamma, shall I invite Lucy Littaway to my party? Mamma-Certainly. She is the minister's daughter. "Do minister's daughters get invited everywhere?" "Always." "They has lots of fun, I s'pose? I wish my papa was a minister 'stead of a miserable sinner.'" FLINGS AT THE FAIR. When a poor girl is said to be pretty she must be positively handsome. It is quite surprising how bashful a girl isn't after she has been a bride two or three weeks. The masculine idea of an intellectual woman is one who is thin as a match and wears glasses. During courtship it is a case of suspense with the girl and mostly a case of expense with the youth. A woman doesn't expect a man to be honest with her in making love, but she does want him to be enthusiastic about it. A woman is generally more favorably disposed toward platonic love before she has given it a trial than after the plate wears off. When a woman is a little flirty, it is a great shock to her to find a man who will not return the ball when she throws it to him. A WOMAN'S MISERY. Mrs. John La Rue, of 115 Paterson Avenue, Paterson, N. J., says: "I was troubled for about nine years, and what I suffered no one will ever know. I used about every known remedy that is said to be good for kidney complaint, but without deriving permanent relief. Often when alone in the what I suffered no one will ever know. I used about every known remedy that is said to be good for kidney complaint, but without deriving permanent relief. Often when alone in the house the back ache has been so bad that it brought tears to my eyes. The pain at times was so intense that I was compelled to give up my household duties and lie down. There were headaches, dizziness and blood rushing to my head to cause bleeding at the nose. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills benefited me so much that I continued the treatment. The stinging pain in the small of my back, the rushes of blood to the head and other symptoms disappeared." A Desperate Remedy ```markdown ``` "SOMETIMES the vigilantes were all right," remarked the man from Arizona, who squirted six drops of tabacco into each drink that he poured out, "and sometimes they were all wrong. In my opinion they were oftener dead wrong than half right. But this may be prejudiced testimony. I never liked the vigilantes' methods. It is undeniable that they were what you might call a necessary evil in some parts of the west. But they always overdid the thing. They grew arrogant, domineering. They generally wound up by wanting to be the whole works. Then, in most cases, something would turn up to finish the vigilantes. I happened to be on hand when the something happened that pulled the curtain down on the vigilante business in Arizona. There has never been a vigilante in Arizona from that day to this. "It happened in Flagstaff, in 1884. They were never called vigilantes in Arizona. They were referred to as Stranglers. The Stranglers got a pret-tight hold on Flagstaff. They weren't popular, but they had a majority. They called themselves a sheriff's posse, and for awhile they rode over Flagstaff proper. They turned several tricks, with the aid of the rope, that were nowhere near on the square, and they killed several men who were pretty generally thought to be innocent by Flagstaff folks who didn't take any stock in the Stranglers' hapazard way of doing things. So that when this thing happened I'm going to tell you about, there was a pretty strong under-current of feeling in Flagstaff against the Stranglers. "the beginning of the Stranglers' wind-up was when one of the most prominent of their number began to pick on the Burns boys, Charley and Frank. Old man Burns ran the Burns house in flagstaff, and these boys were his sons, Charley was about 33 and Frank was 28. They were both square men, as men went down in the southwest in those days. They didn't pretend to be sanctified, but they kept as well within the law as any of us. There was no reason on earth why they should have been singled out to be picked on by the Stranglers, but they were. One day the prominent Strangler that I mentioned walked into the Burns house, Charley and Frank were playing seven-up for dollars at a table not far from the desk. A few bystanders were poking around. This Strangler man began shooting it into Charley Burns in a pretty strong way of hinting about a stage robbery that had been pulled off not far from Flagstaff a couple of weeks before. Charley wasn't a coward, by a whole row of 'dobes, but he knew that if he went at the Strangler he'd not only get it himself, but that his brother and his old father would probably have to dangle. Anyway, he wasn't fixed. He had laid aside his belt for more comfort in sitting down. So he didn't say much in reply to the Strangler's digs. Frank, his younger brother, fumed, but he didn't in until the Strangler walked to the bar at the end of the office to get a drink. Then he said in an angry undertone to his brother: "Charley, if you're not man enough to take your own end against that juniper, I am." "I'm not fixed." said Charley. "Frank passed his brother a gun under the table." "Now call him." he said. "Charley sort o' hesitated. He was a cooler man than his brother, and he wanted to keep out of trouble if he could. So he jammed the gun into his waistband and sat in a sort of a guess. The Strangler walked from the bar toward the door. "You may hear something,' he said, stopping at the door and looking at Charley Burns significantly. "Just wait a minute,' said Charley, getting up from the table and walking over to the Strangler. 'Let's hear it now." "They got together right then. It happened pretty suddenly, but the only man struck by a shot was the inevitable innocent bystander. He was killed as dead as a mackerel. Then the Stranglers seemed to come out of the ground and three minutes later both of the Burns boys were landed in separate cells in the calaboose. That night the Stranglers broke into the jail and shot Charley Burns to death in his cell. They shot Frank up a heap, but he was CHOOSIN' WEATHER Ef th' weather man 'ud ast me what I wanted, rain er shine.

MOM. in Houston Post. No Frogs in Rocks or Trees. Dr. C. R. Eastman, of Harvard, calls attention, in Science, to the "astonishing longevity of the popular delusion," to which even educated people at the present day give credence, that living frogs, toads and other animals are sometimes discovered in hermetically sealed cavities in tree trunks and rocks. After quoting a number of remarkable instances of these alleged discoveries, Doctor Eastman says that a little reflection shows, from the very nature of things, that such tales are incredible, and that those who vouch for them must be mistaken in their observations, as the most sharp-sighted persons are deceived by the feats of a prestidigitator. still breathing when they pulled him out of his cell and strung him up. "Now, here was a dirty bit of work. It got on the nerves of all of us, more or less, who didn't belong to the Stranglers. There was a plenty of ugly talk around Flagstaff from that night—plain talk, spoken right out loud. Among the people who didn't hesitate to express themselves audibly were Ed Fay and Doc Radde, both of whom dear fato in Dave Black's big place. They were both quiet men, and game. But that Burns job got them on the raw, and neither of them hesitated a minute in saying so. The result was that one afternoon they got a joint invitation, conveyed in writing, from the Stranglers, to leave Flagstaff on the 11:30 train out that night. "Are you going, Doc? Fay asked Radde when they'd read the note. "No, said Radde. "Neither am I," said Fay. TEN WOMEN KILLED. A Passenger Train Crashed Into a Bob Sled that Contained Thirteen Ladies. ACCCIDENT IN EMPIRE STATE All the Victims Were Members of the Ladies' Aid Society of a Universalist Church at Hornellsville and All Were Married. Hornellsville, N. Y., Feb. 2.—A passenger train on the Pittsburg, Shawmut and Northern railroad last night WHY HE NEEDED A SPADE. Drummer Wanted a Bath and Would Have to Dam the Creek to Get It. Congressman Brownlow is from one of the mountainous regions of Tennessee. He comes from that part of the world where the crests of rock are so high that Gov. Bob Taylor once said of them that small children could stand on tip toe and tickle the feet of angels with very short straws. He is interested greatly, Mr. Brownlow, says a Washington letter to the New York-American, in the good reads more soon. In some parts of Tennessee it is difficult for a stranger traveling from New York, for instance, to imagine that the light of civilization ever has penetrated there. The houses are built, the roadways mere blazes, the post offices sometimes 50 miles apart. Mr. Brownlow tells a story of a Philadelphia drummer having reached one of the villages late at night; and on being awoken early in the day "They took the Stranglers' invitation to Dave Black, their employer. There never were any better nor gamer men in the southwest than Dave Black. He was a man of absolute integrity. He had a heart as big as a bullock's under his vest. But he was agin the Stranglers from way back. The Stranglers' note to Fay and Radde made him hostile instantly. He pasted the note against one of the walls of his place. Then he outs with both of his guns, and he describes a pretty exact circle on that piece of paper with bullets. Then he took a pencil and wrote across the whole face of the punctured note: "Stranglers, take warning." Dave Black was on the warpath. He walked out into the air for awhile and studied the situation, and then he returned to his place, where his two warned dealers, Fay and Radde, were waiting for him. They had a talk. At the conclusion of the talk Black handed each man a $500 bill. "In case the play doesn't go through, he explained, 'and you boys have to drill you'll need the money.' "Then Dave went around and had a few quiet talks with some Flagstaff man who he knew would be with him in the little undertaking he had in mind. One was his brother, Charley-Black. Another was Mysterious Dave, surname unknown, an ex-Wells-Fargo messenger, who had never been known to back water. Then there was Virgil Earp—I needn't say anything about Virgil. I always figured him to be the best of all the Earp boys. Doc Holiday was another, and a good man in a tight pinch, and John Burns, no kin to the Burnes who had been murdered by the Stranglers, took on. The famous Shotgun Collins joined the bunch. There were 11 of them. There wasn't a desperado or a lawbreaker in the lot. But they were tired of Stranglers. "The two warned-out men, Fay and Raddie, dropped at 11 o'clock that night into Wah Jim's Chinese restaurant. They sat on rough stools before rough tables, side by side, and facing the front. They didn't appear to be bothered about the near approach of their warned-out hour, 11:30. They heard the train come in, and they heard the train go out. Then they began to wait for something to happen. It was pitchy dark outside, but when, three or four minutes after the train pulled out, the two dealers saw by the light issuing from the Chink's windows a number of men approaching the restaurant they knew the game was on. They waited for the first of the dozen or so Strangers to get into the frame of the door, when they kicked their stools from beneath them, and were lying flat on their stomachs on the floor. They were no sooner down than from the rear of that Chink's eating house there same a volley the like of which I bet no Stranger or vigilante in Arizona or anywhere else had ever gone up against, before. The volley was made by sawed-off shotguns, loaded with slugs, and Dave Black and his bunch of anti-Strangers, planted in the dark in the rear of the Chinese shop, were the makers of it. It just tore the whole menu of the Chimana's restaurant to splinters. Five men of the squad of a dozen Strangers lived long enough even to be surprised, and those five were too much plugged to care much one way or the other. "Ambuscade? Of course it was an ambuscade! But you've got to remember that there's such a thing as fighting fire with fire. When you dig down to the root of it, what was the spirit of the whole vigilante business but the ambuscading spirit? When you're fighting Injuns you do better when you fight Injun-wise. I don't ask anybody to fight Injun-wise, but I think the vigilantes of Flastac get what coming to them. The Stranglers' organization fell apart after that night, and it was never patched together again."—Washington Star. SAILING IN AN AIRSHIP. Many Queer Sensations Visit the Aeronaut—Feels No Sense of Motion. "It is a singular fact," says A. R. Knabenshue, in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, "that when one is going as much as 15 or 20 miles an hour in an airship one has no sensation of moving whatever. The air beats in your face as you move along, but it only creates the impression that one is standing still in a strong breeze. "There are no objects flying past you as when you are traveling on the surface of the earth, and as you must keep your eyes looking ahead of you you observe only distant objects, so distant because of your high point of view that you approach them apparently so slowly you do not seem to move at all. I consider this one of the queerest sensation in a trip through the air, and the impression of scarcely moving or of not moving at all is so strong, even on the most experienced aeronaut, that it is probably due to this so many of them push their motor to the extreme limit and it dies" in consequence. When a speed gauge is invented for an airship it will cause fewer breakdowns of motors due to crowding power." Solution Simple. Dr. Spitza says the brains of criminals are in no sense abnormal. If the whole truth were known, it would probably appear that a majority of the criminals are merely too lazy to work. Both Treacherous and False The explosion of that Galesburg woman's false teeth marks the advent of a new terror. To their well-known falsity such teeth have begun to add treachery. TEN WOMEN KILLED A Passenger Train Crashed Into a Bob Sled that Contained Thirteen Ladies. ACCCIDENT IN EMPIRE STATE All the Victims Were Members of the Ladies' Aid Society of a Universalist Church at Hornellville and All Were Married. Hornellville, N. Y., Feb. 2.—A passenger train on the Pittsburgh, Shawmut and Northern railroad last night crashed into a sleigh containing 13 women, killing seven of them outright and so seriously injuring the remaining six that three of them died after being taken to a hospital. The accident occurred near Arkport. The sleigh was one of three carrying a party from the Universalist church of this city. The dead: Mrs. Fred Boughton. Members of the Ladies' Aid society of the Universalist church went to a farm house near Arkport to spend the afternoon. It was nearly dark when they started on the return trip to the city. The occupants of the leading sleigh saw the train approaching as they neared the Shawmut crossing. The driver urged his horses ahead and the sleigh passed over the tracks in safety. The women in the first sleigh then attempted to warn those in the one following of the danger and they did succeed in directing their attention to the rapidly approaching train. The driver pulled up his horses, but not to check the heavy boots quick enough and when it came to a standstill the box of the sleigh was directly across the railroad track. The pilot of the engine struck the sleigh with great force, reducing it to splinters and hurling the women in all directions. Every woman on the sleigh was killed or injured. The other members of the party hurried back to the assistance of their unfortunate companions and the train was stopped and backed up to the crossing. The bodies of the dead were placed upon the train and the injured were laid upon improvised cots in the baggage car. The train then proceeded to Hornellville. The news of the accident had been telephoned to the city and hundreds of friends and relatives of the unfortunate women were waiting at the station. The dead were at once taken to the morgue and the injured were taken to Mercy hospital. An Investigation Has Begun Springfield, Ill., Feb. 2.—An upheaval in the Illinois legislature, possibly rivaling the recent bidding exposures in the legislature of Missouri, may be the outcome of an address by Representative Frank B. Comerford, of Chicago, to the students of the Illinois college of law a few days ago. The general assembly yesterday appointed a committee of seven to investigate Mr. Comerford's charges, which alleged "that the Illinois legislature is a great public auction, where special privileges are sold to the highest corporation bidders, and that without respect to party affiliations the 'grafters' seem to be in the majority." Feud Led to Murder. Abbeyville, Ga., Feb. 2.—One person was killed and five wounded as the result of a feud over a line fence near Rhine, seven miles west of here. The dead: W. H. Livingston, ballill. The wounded: M. A. Burnham, W. B. Bryant, W. T. Bryant, Tom Coffee and Mrs. George Ray. Livingston and one of the Bryants, it is alleged, attacked and seriously beat a son of M. A. Burnham. Mr. Burnham last day, the next day, Bryant and thrashed him. When the aggrieved men and their relatives met the shooting began. Mrs. Ray, a sister of the Bryants, rushed to the scene and was wounded by a stray bullet. Convicted of Manslaughter Chicago, Feb. 2. —Attorney Victor R. O'Shea, on trial charged with shooting and killing his wife, was yesterday convicted of manslaughter. The verdict carries imprisonment from one year to life, at the discretion of the court. After killing his wife O'Shea attempted suicide, inflicting wounds which confined him to a hospital for almost a year, O'Shea and Amy Hogenson were secretly married and never lived together. Public Debt Statement Washington, Feb. 2.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business January 31 the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $988,929,619, which is an increase for the month of $1,380,298. This increase is principally accounted for by the decrease in the amount of cash on hand. The debt proper shows a decrease for the month of $1,586,555. Cold Wave Covers Much Territory.

Mr. Brownlow tells a story of a Philadelphian drummer having reached one of the villages late at night, and on being awakened early in the morning he went to a bar for a bath. In a few minutes the landlord returned with a spade, a hickory towel and a gourd of soft soap. "What do I want with the spade?" asks the landlord.

"Play the 'Amber Ear,'" said the waiter to the leader of the restaurant orchestra, while the table at near-by tables ducked relates the New York Press.

"You go back and ask her again," said the leader with a laugh, and he watched the water make his way across the room. "I asked the lady, and she said she wanted you to play the 'Amber耳' he said, with a touch of vexation. "She asked to know it if you are a musician." "Wait a minute," the leader said.

WOMEN'S NEGLECT WOMEN'S NEGLECT SUFFERINGTHESUREPENALTY Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, fatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea, that there is danger sheer, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I have naturally dislikes to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has so much to me that I cannot help from telling me for the sake of other suffering women. I have untold agony with a uterine problem and irregularities with a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has entirely comforted me, and made me well and strong, and what I feel is the恢复 of woman what a splendid medicine it is."
