THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 31. Evening Gowns for Future Use Mary Cable EVENING GOWNS HE square neck both for evening gowns and for day wear with chemisettes, is one of the newest approved fashions. The design given below is suitable for a party gown for the present end of thing. need no she may For h dresses evening, frivolous the season and will be just as appropriate for wear all the coming season. It would make up exceptionally well in light summer stuffs. The design has all the features now liked; the square effect, the hip-yoke full skirt, large sleeves ending in a deep frill, and the pointed bodice. The material used for this particular model is silk voile made over a white silk slip, red polka dots are woven in the voile, the bodice is of soft red silk. Red is coming to the fore with swift strides now, although as a rule it is not especially popular as a spring color. Passamatter trims the yoke and sleeves, and outlines the upper part of the bodice. The second illustration pictures the first dancing frock for the young girl, simple but picturesque; and seems to us essentially youthful and attractive. Those who prefer may, without spoiling the effect, make the skirt a trifle shorter than the one pictured, but do not go to an extreme and have as a result a golf skirt doing duty as a ball gown. Almost any material suitable for evening wear can be employed for this style of dress, but whatever is selected, remember the petticoat worn under it must be sufficiently stiff to hold the gown out well at the bottom. Young girls that go out a great deal are now using an under slip that can be worn with more than one costume; a combination corset cover and petticoat, which fits closely below the skirts, and at the knees has an extremely full frill. This is generally made of silk. The trimming should be that best suited to the one that is to wear the dress. Fuchs, becoming slender figures, are to be much worn this summer, are now seen on many ball frocks. The fichu may be of the material of the dress, of lace of silk muslin, of chiffon—of almost any Why My Lady Walks Abroad Why My Lady Walks Abroad SPRING STREET COSTUME. LTHOUGH broadcloth is much in favor, there is noticeable in the displays of spring fabrics a return to what has long been termed novelty goods. As many of these multi-colored stuffs are of artistic beauty, we rejoice that they are with us again, that once more we have authority to buy them. One of the criticisms made of the novelty weaves was that they often were so colorless as to be very unbecoming—and always, really, it did seem as though the colorless people were the ones that chose the dullest grays. The artist that designed the accompanying model makes provision against this by having her trimmings vivid enough to compensate for any lack of color; although in this particular instance there is small lack. The material is dull-colored tweed relieved by cross lines of blue, green and dark red. The edge of the side and back of the skirt are piped with red velvet, the shade of the red in the goods; the buttons are covered with red velvet; the collar and revers on the jacket are of red velvet, as are the cuffs; the vest is of cream-colored skilt plated, and a lace tie adds a pretty finish. The hat is a red felt trimmed with a plume and knot of velvet. Silk petticoats are so apt to cut if given hard wear that the sensible thing to do is to have the foundation of the skirt of silica, and on the bottom put as sumptu T S thing. And, by the way, the debutante need not now confine herself to white; she may choose what color she will. For her who does not care to have dresses that can be worn only in the evening, that seldom indulges in the frivolous frock unable to bear the broad light of day, there are offered beautiful fine wools suitable for almost any hour of the day (evening included, of course), and if these are made according to the mode liked for afternoon wear, and if different chemisettes and undersleaves are provided for different needs, behold here is a costume doing duty for several costumes. Elbow sleeves are seen now at elaborate luncheons and at teas as well as in the evening, and this fact is a help to the economical woman, who, in blissful serenity, may wear the gown just described at 12 noon or at 12 midnight. Have we spoken of the manner in which green is modestly pushing itself to first place in the array of colors? We are minded to advise a green gown for this dress that is to do almost universal duty. It is dressy in the evening, if not too dark; all is a grateful shade in the day time. All the shop windows are vernal with green gowns and hats, and the very softest, lovestyle greens seems favored. In every case green hats accompany the green gowns, and the prophesy that the green hat will be worn as much this summer as last. At a box party at the opera the other evening we noticed a harmony in green and white that reminded of snowy lilacs and lilac verdure. The dress was one of the wools to which we have just put homage, and it was a green that, while not dull, was not at all obtrusive. It was trimmed with white fiber insertion, wide bands of it; the bodice was draped and fitted closely, the cut on the high-bust order, which is certainly ousting the reign of the low bust and deep dip front. The skirt was very full, fell in quaint folds that were just the thing for the tight bodice. The hat was one of the flower hats, all white. ous and extravagant a flounce as you like. Some of the rich women choose the silesia to be saved the bother of always wondering if the skirt is fraying and new ones must be looked after. Speaking of economy—economy of money this time, however—one can remodel a frayed skirt by cutting it off about the bottom and adding to its length by means of a broad band of some contrasting material. These bands at the foot of skirts are used now considerably in the way of trimming. Friday Vizer, a familiar negro about town in a certain part of Mississippi, had been found dead, and he being a member of no church or lodge—very unusual for a negro—there was no one to pray for his soul in the great beyond. A few old intimates, however, carried the body to the cemetery in a rude pine coffin, and Bob McRaven, one of the number, an old "beto-dewah dawah dark," was called upon for a few remarks. Bob removed h's hat and stepped reverently and sadly toward the open grave, and in colem, funereal tones, said: "Friday Vizer, you is gone. We hopes you is gone what we spects you ain't!"—Lippincott's. "What a sweet little girl!" exclaimed Mrs. Societie, coming down the front steps. "Haven't I seen you before, dear?" "Yes'm."

SANTO DOMINGO. --- The Little Turbulent Republic of Mulattoes a Part of the Island of Haiti. An Interesting Article on Its People and Their Prejudice Against Americans—The Cause of Their Present Trouble and What the Latter Is. While the wealth in Santo Domingo look with favor on American intervention as a means of protection for property, they would probably just as readily or perhaps more so, accept Spanish, German or British intervention. To them it is a matter of business, of security. Were circumstances such as to permit them to choose, they would probably give their vote to Spain in the first place, to Great Britain next, but to the United States never. This feeling of aversion will stood when it is borne in mind that the United States is cordially hated by the American republics in general and most especially so by Santo Domingo and Haiti. In the last-named countries there is a larger tincture of mixed blood than in any of the others. All the natives who can do so have their children educated in France, Spain, England, Germany and a few in the United States. In the first-named countries whites, Negroes and mulattoes are treated on the same footing; in the United States, where colored blood is evident or suspected, there is a marked difference in the treatment accorded them, and although the colored students are not subject to the same amount of discourtesy in the northern states with which the native American colony are treated, nor in the southern states with whom the native violent hatred evinced for the native population yet such as they do experience ranks in their bosoms and they instill all the bitterness of their resentment into the hearts of their fellow-countrymen when they return home, and, strange to say, they are aided in this task by their white compatriots. Americans Are Execrated. Hence, American in these countries is exorcist, though the educated are too well bred and the lower orders too cunning to permit their American guests to suspect their real sentiments until it suits them to do so, but should some one remark in a playful manner that the Americans are coming to civilize the Dominicans and Haitians, black eyes instantly flash fire, white teeth gleam beneath a disdainful sneer and the retort comes with hissing vehement. "Let the Americans civilize themselves at home before they go abroad," it is said, and then realized than themselves, not even in the center of Africa nowadays is the savage burning at the stake and other horrid and inhuman cruelty permitted as it is practiced in the United States when they inflict their lynch law." Such are the sentiments of the Dominicans and Haitians, and they are identical in by far the majority of the Latin-American republics. Hence, American intervention in Santo Domingo is likely to meet with fierce opposition, and only great tact on the part of the Dominicans and Haitians to Santo Domingo, should such intervention take place, will be the means of avoiding bloodshed and loss of life. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "The administration of President Morales, of Santo Domingo, which is one of the most capable that the country has ever had, saw that the only salvation of the country and to keep the foreign hordes who were constantly intriguing with the revolutionists to wreck the country completely, found a friend in the Roosevelt administration who has come to the rescue of this splendid but impoverished country. "It can be easily seen that in a few years the debt of the country has increased from $4,000,000 to $2,000,000, with the revenues at a little over $1,500,000. It is not possible in a single editorial to give a full detail of this whole procedure, but enough has been said to give the country an idea of the timely interference of President Roosevelt, which is the boldest stroke of international policy ever conceived by any government, and which will surpass in a few years the Panama Canal incident. The taking of the revenues will be housed by American government will at once do several things which will solve the whole problem. It will stop revolutions, it will stop the pillage of government revenues, and it will raise with the present tariff the revenues of the government to quite $3,000,000 a year without any doubt whatever. The revenues will be honestly accounted for: smuggling through the customs houses will be stopped to a great extent, and the government will be the recipient of the honest revenues of the country. The Puerto Plata railroad will become a source of revenue instead of an expense to the republic. Confidence will be established and the many other projects will amphibious state take shape, such as the railroad and mining enterprise owned by a Philadelphi company and engineered by Mr. De Pool, the son-in-law of the writer, and many other projects will give impetus to the trade of the richest and best republic of the Latin-American countries. "It would be well for San Domingo, without compromising its automaton in the least, to give to the United States under the same conditions that the Samana Bay Co. had over Samana, the bays of Samana, Mansanilla, Los Calderos and Ocao, the finest bays in the world, and which would dominate the entire Samana natural defence for the entire Capitol. "We congratulate President Roosevelt upon this bold stroke of international diplomacy and President Mo- rales for the advanced step he has taken to redeem the honor of the republic. It may be harshly criticised by some who do not know the situation and the opponents of President Roosevelt's foreign policy and his methods of upholding the Monroe Doctrine, but before the end of his present administration the result will be so far reaching that both the people of the United States and San Domingo will see the necessity of insisting upon his continuance in office until the consummation of these great enterprises inaugurated by him. The Dominican episode is but the beginning of the general uplift and commercial progress of the entire Western Hemisphere. The writer will describe the president in this and other great international strides in behalf of favorable international comity. President Roosevelt and President Morales are to be congratulated and complimented." — Hon. H. C. C. Astwood, Ex-Consul General to Santo Domingo. INAUGURAL SOCIAL.

MADE THE BEST SPEECH At the Banquet, Did Attorney Charles R. Doll, So a Democratic Paper Said. Chillicothe, O.-The first annual banquet of the Ross county republican club recently was a "hunner." About 250 were in attendance. No attention paid to race or color, or even politics. Said The Advertiser (dem.): "The next in order was Charles R. Doll, and in justice it must be said his was the best address of the evening. Mr. Doll elaborated on his topic and talked of "The Past and Future of Ethiopia." He cited history to show that the colored man did not come to America of his own volition, but had been brought in 1619 as a slave, and for two and a half centuries suffered in bondage. "He challenged any race on the face of the globe to show as much progress as the colored man has made in 40 years, this being the length of time since slavery no longer existed. He gave some good advise to the white man in dealing with the colored folks, and also cautioned his colored brother to know his place. Mr. Doll made a big hit when he said the enemies of the colored man had attempted to make an issue of the Roosevelt-Booker Washington incident and that if Washington had remained for supper also, the country would have made it unanimous."

Senator Ben Tillman still holds his place in the United States senate as the vengeful and eccentric member from South Carolina. When first elected to a seat in that honorable body, Mr. Tillman announced that he was going on to the capital with pitch forks and pruning hooks. The old world stood agasth and Americans became amazed wondering what mighty impulse had seized this modern Caezar. Few men believed that that the South Carolina senator had conceived in his mind some sublime and wonderful problem to be solved in exaltation of the American. But it soon became manifest that Ben Tillman meant only to wage an infernal war upon the Negro. Like the canine kind when they spring a cat, instinctive nature prompts it to pounce upon and devour everything of the cat kind. The country was anxious to see what mighty issues were to be brought on and fought by the South Carolina man. Lo and behold! the propitious moment came and it was found that Tillman meant fight against the Afro-American. And to this day he has pressed the battle against them. So disgusting, too, has this man rendered himself that when speaking upon the senate floor—democrats have been forced to leave the senate chamber and hide themselves in the cloak room until he had finished. This was a most pitilous sight for a man to find himself snubbed and foraken by his own cluware. Tillman occupied the floor defending the war. He so justified the inhuman crime of men in bondage that almost every democrat stole away from their cloak, leaving a single man of his party (Teller) holding his. It was a thrust almost unendurable when democrats fled from their leader belching forth vitriol and gall. Republicans gazed on in intense amusement to find that democracy was being championed by one of its radicals who had become a monomania upon the "Negro question." Mr. Tillman was reckless enough to defend slavery, believing, we suppose, that his hour for promotion had come. It did come, but it came in humiliation and shame, and Tillman felt the little,ness and meanness of himself as never before. Far be it from us to indulge in any rhetorical impurity, but the very utterances of the South Carolina senator were a contamination to the English language and American sentiment. Defending human slavery now, or at any subsequent time, means ostracism and political death. NOT THE MAIN ISSUE. It is argued by some political leaders that the beef question will be a prominent issue before the country in the near future. In what respect this can occur, we fail to see. We agree that there is need of prompt legislation in order to suppress monopolies and bring combination to know the extent of their power. The recent decision of the United States supreme court in the beef trust case declares that the government has power to interfere with and suppress monopolies operating in restraint of trade and commerce. This decision denies combination the right to suppress competition in the sale of cattle at the stock yard, which is a matter of great concern to the farmer and cattle raisers. But this is a matter which is destined to settle itself through the common sense and better judgment of the people, even had there been no decision from the supreme court. The pockets of all the people are mutually concerned and a monopoly of the packers controlled by arbitrarily fixing the price of cattle on the hoof thus depressing price at will and robbing the farmers and cattle raisers and depriving them of the opportunity to sell to competitors, forces a measure before the people which demands adjustment at the hands of the parties concerned. The packers' combination too often constitutes the purchaser, and the combination fixed the price to the consumer. The consumer must pay it or go without beef. The combination buys on its own terms and sells on its own. the producer and consumer are allike made to pay heavy tribute to the trust, or he goes without beef. In this matter, the combination, the producer and consumer are enlisted in a contest in which is involved the rights and liberties of all alike. It is an issue which may be determined with no unsafe risk or loss to any one. But there is an issue in which the rights and liberties of the people are placed in peril and upon which depends the stability of the government. It is the paramount issue, the right of making every citizen secure in his life. This is the supreme issue and it is the in which all citizens should feel a concern, whether they will or not. We cannot evade this issue. The preservation of individual life upon lawful terms, means the preservation of national life, and the sacrifice of the life of an individual means the sacrifice of the life of the nation. It is a question upon which the nation can not fold its arms. The Afro-American press of the country may warn the people and it may be done all in vain, but it warns, because of a deep and bleeding concern for those whose lives are taken without judge or jury. But in the long series of cause and effect, when the lives of white and black alike will be placed at a discount, it will be realized that the beef trust question and all others will pale into insignificance by the side of this living and overwhelming issue, the life of the humblest as well as the greatest. THE MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE. Senator A. J. Beveridge, of Indiana, made the mistake of his life, when he allowed Senator Ben Tillman to beguile him into the act of submitting his report in favor of separate schools for the territory of Oklahoma soon to be admitted into the sisterhood of states. Ben Tillman is a man of pragmatic tendencies and is given to broils and wrangling without reason. Just why Senator Beveridge should allow himself to be led into the act of doing a thing so much in accord with the sympathies of southern practice, a thing so anti-national and altogether contrary to free institutions, is at once perplexing. A majority of the northern states have favored mixed schools and thereby have relieved themselves of needless expenses. They have sought to eliminate a growing feeling of antipathy and misanthropy between the races and place themselves in line with the progressive ideas of equal justice and right dealing. If Senator Beveridge recognizes the fact that under the United States government according to the spirit and letter of law, no such discrimination is to be tolerated, then he must see the injustice and criminality of his act. Mr. Beveridge has done a thing that is morally wrong and absolutely at variance with our Christian civilization. Indeed he has emulated the example of southern defiance to our national laws and has given sanction to the unjust and wicked discrimination enforced in the southern states. The sentiment and feeling of the people of Oklahoma territory did not require such discrimination and hence it was an unpardonable blunder on the part of the senator to consent to such an outrage upon humanity and the citizens of that territory. In most parts of Oklahoma at present, the people have mixed schools which are managed peacefully and credibly under territorial regulations. The organizers anticipated the necessities of the occasion in avoiding future agitation and annoyance. But Senator Beveridge abused his opportunity, outraged common justice and imposed upon the people of Oklahoma a law only to gratify the whim of a man known as a pest and a menace to the dignity of the senate and the peace of the country. But if the laws of Oklahoma did not allow equal rights and privileges in the free schools of that territory and without discrimination, it was the duty of the senator of Indiana to give his influence and support to such a measure. He failed to do this and in such a failure he proves himself unstatesmanlike and wanting in the qualities most essential as a bold and aggressive leader. Mr. Beveridge has been more than once named as a possible candidate for the presidency of the United States, and it is claimed that he will lead a winning ticket. Perhaps in this Oklahoma affair he was shaping the way for coming events, and it may be that Ben Tillman has made some flattering promises, but Tillman's promises are empty. Senator Beveridge has made the mistake of his life and no republican senator in the days of his party has blundered more. "The Ownership of Land." "The Ownership of Land."

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1905. ONE WIFE WHITE. UNITED STATES MINISTER DAWSON, at For a Money Caused a White Motorman to Overlook or Discard His Prejudice. Newark, N. J.—Frank Carey (white) a motorman on a Court House line trolley car, was arrested last October on two charges—bigamy and swindling—and brought back here. The charges were made by Mrs. Carey No. 2, of this city. She also accused Carey of swindling her out of $1,800. Carey is a fine-looking man and was known among the motormen as "Handsome Frank." Mrs. Carey (white) No. 1 is a pretty blonde woman, who also lives here. Prosecutor's office said she is elderly. County, has been on Carey's trail for two months. According to Mrs. Carey No. 2, she and Carey were married on April 16 last. A short time after a pet fox terribility to her strangely disappeared. A few weeks after, while out walking, she saw the dog at a window and recognized it as the missing fox terrier. Mrs. Carey No. 2 went to the front door of the house and was admitted by Mrs. Carey No. 1. The dog recognized its former mistress and barked loudly. Mrs. Carey No. 2 claimed the dog, which the white woman said was a gift from her husband. Suddenly she was in a two-tiered room and asked Mrs. Carey No. 1 if it was her husband's picture she was wearing in a jacket hanging at her throat. No. 2 looked long at the picture and then said Carey was her husband, too. Mrs. Carey No. 1 fell to the floor in a faint. A friend of Carey's posted him that the police were after him and Carey "lit out." He is 35 years old and he and Mrs. Carey No. 1 were married seven years ago. He was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Mrs. Carey No. 2 was at the trial dressed in the very height of fashion—illies, a white dress and jeans and even very much in evidence. She has brought suit for her divorce, and will make an exhibit of his photos and marriage certificate to Mrs. Carey No. 1 in the divorce proceedings. It is said that Wesley's white wife (No. 1) will also bring suit for divorce. JIMMY WINKFIELD The Great Little Jockey Preparing to Return to Russia in the Spring. New York City—Jockey Jimmy Winkfield expects to return to Russia next month, unless he is able to get a good fat contract on this side. Winkfield rode last season for Count Luzaroff and received a retaining fee of $7,500, and with $25 for winning mounts and $15 for losers his income went over $10,000. He is a rider in Class A, and sits and rides like the late Isaac Murphy. At the finish he is an artist, and no one can send a tired nag along in the last few strides like Jimmy. "I know that just race prejudice keeps me out of my country, but at that I am well satisfied with my berth in Russia. I rode for a powerful stable last year, one that swept the boards and won so many races that the horses had gone the limit in earnings before the fall meeting at Warsaw began, and in consequence M. Lazaroff's horses were barred. Many prophesied then that I would back as a rider, as I always had, but the beasts rulled, but I just kept on winning." The Lazaroff stalk appears to have all the Derbies at its mercy this year, as there are six two-year-olds in the barn that have never been beaten. Winkfield thinks that Russian thoroughbreds are as good as any in the world. He says that they run miles in about 1:42 over the turf with big weights up, and are grand looking animals. He can talk a bit of Russian, a little more Polish, and has a very fair grip on the German language. The great little rider has laid away something for a rainy day, and has invested some of his earnings in real estate in Lexington and Louisville, and his interests are looked after by Jim Dancer when he goes abroad.

People with inflamed and aching Joints, or painful mascles ; people who shuffle about with the aid of a cane or 8 crutch and cry, Oh ! at every slight jar, are constantly asking,““What is the best thing for rheumatism?” ‘Te nttempt to cure rheumatism by ex- ternal applications is a foolish waste of time, ‘Tho seat of the disease is in the blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing Jotions aud grease on the skin the poison in the circulation is increasing. Delaysin adoptingasonsible treatment fare dangerous because rheumatism may at any momentreach the heart and prove fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic ‘sufferers is to get the best possible blood remedy at once. Mr. Stephenson's experience with thts obstinate and distressing afliction is thatof hundreds. He says: “About a year ago I was attacked by severo rheumatic pais in my left shoulder. ‘Tho pains were worse in wet ‘weather, and né these periods caused mo the greatest suffering. I tried a number of treatments and ointments, but they failed to alleviate the pains.” ‘Thon he realized that the cause must bbe deeper and the pain only asurface in- ication. He adds: ‘Thad heard Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People recommended as a cure for rheumatism, and when T found that Iwas getting no relief from applications, I made up my mind that I would try thom, Before the first box was gone I noticed that the pains were becoming less frequent, aud that they were not 60 severe as before. After the second box had been used up I was entirely free from discomfort, and Thavehad no traces of rheumatism since."* ‘The change in treatment proved by almost immediate results that Mr. ‘Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.115 Greonwood street, Springfield, Mass., had found the true’ means for the purif ‘cation and enrichment of his blood. ‘Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are without oubt the best: of all blood remedies. They effect gennine and lasting cures in theumatism. ‘They donot merely deaden the ache, but they expel the poison from the blood. “ese pals are wold by” all @roggists, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, -0., SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1905. i Caer Be oten: io) FT ne aes chan, Ca moe © Mesdames Hopson, Chambers and (Goats, ant Mr J.

The Czar Is Willing that It Shall be Established Within His Sominione: | St. Petersburg, March 2.—The over- shadowing question for Russians, that of granting the people a yoice in the government, remains undecided at Tsarskoe Selo. Emperor Nicholas has hot yet given the final word. | The proposition which the emperor is now considering with the council of ministers is the establishment of a na- Uional assembly based on direct class representation, to sit In a consultative capacity and propose laws—in other words, yielding the form while retain ing the essence of autocraey, ‘The ma- Jority of the ministers have joined in expressing the opinion to his majesty that such @ measure, coupled wich the reforms enunciated In the manifesto of December 25, 1904, guaranteeing ‘equality before the law, responsibility of officials and practical freedom of the press, will meet the present situ- ation. All, however, recognize and so a4 vise the ezar, that such a solution can be only temporary. An assembly of this kind must soon give way to a regular parliamentary body. This fact fs recognized by the liberals, whom the proposed form would not satisty, but who are conyinced that this would be a forward step and who would hail it as a practical victory for future con- stitutionallsm, ‘The People’s palace here was the scene of a remarkable convention Wednesday when workingmen repre- senting 160 factories of this city met for the first time in their lives with freedom of speech and assembly guar- | antved them.
