THE THE WOOL COAT NOT AFRAID OF WEATHER. FIRST precaution, be sure and have a neat petticoat, not to say pretty one. And for untidy March hairs look out and buy one of the new nets that help the locks "to stay put." Veils should be worn this month of tan and freckles for the sake of the complexion, but the nets protect the hair better. I believe they come in shades to match locks of almost any hue. The illustrations seem to us to picture ideal March mails, so neat and trim are they, in spite of blowy skirts. A feature of promenade dress is the tailored touch, the good fit, the simple long lines. Hats, matching, are lightly trimmed. cepted. Last shirt-waist suit this season, where there w light-weight w Whilst many frocks will be there will be to elaboration. To turn to from the pops should like to cloth of very with a skirt fullness turns cording lower it will be popular Elbow sleeve than ever, alas The lady of fashion and the woman of business both court simplicity for the suit of service, and each shows her good taste in so doing. Just here it may be in season to speak of the raincoat, which seems now to have reached the perfection of finish. A great deal of attention has been lavished upon this article of dress, and as a result it is more than utilitarian, though it is that to a degree. The newest ones are made with strict reference to what is liked in sleeves, shoulder lines, long or short waist, and therefore, serve many a purpose other than indicated by the name raincoat. They make a good appearance in travel, for afternoon occasions, and even in the evening are worn by women very careful in matters of dress. They certainly fill a long-felt want. What is a shirt-waist suit? Answer—anything in the suit line that is ankle length—ball frocks of course, ex- The Old Style D The Old Style Droop Hat Again THE HAT REVOLUTION IN HATS DON'T you remember those funny old pictures of youthful looking ladies with great chignons and tiny round hats perched at the edge of the pile of hair and tilting far over the face? Did you make fun of them? You better have not, for probably you yourself will wear one such the coming summer. Yes, as reaction from the cart-wheel headgear, the picture-hat, we are to have a reign of small roundish hats; as a reaction from the off-the-face style, we are to go to the extreme of placing the hat almost on the nose. It will entail very carefully dressed locks at the exposed back of the head, and woe to .er whose tresses are not luxuriant. The hat will be ridiculous enough anyway, but especially so on a small knot of hair. It goes without saying that some women will not attempt the revived mode. Trimmings will be piled in the back. One fashion writer says it will be necessary to walk around the summer girl A D cepted. Last year the most common shirt-waist suit seemed the one of silk; this season, while silk will be much worn, there will be more of a variety, light-weight wools looming up strong. Whilst many of these ankle-length frocks will be built on severe lines, there will be considerable latitude as to elaboration. To turn to afternoon dress, apart from the popular shirt-waist suit, we should like to speak of a gray broad-cloth of very latest mode; it was made with a skirt full about the hips, the fullness turned into a deep puff by cording lower down. Cording and puffs will be popular. Elbow sleeves are to be worn more than ever, and dressy coats have sleeves of this length finished with deep lace frills. Gowns for both afternoon and evening show elaborate elbow sleeves as the most fashionable. The real leg-of-mutton is equally popular for simple coats and waists; and, a point worth noticing, one can easily increase the shoulder puffiness of a leg-of-mutton by gathering a piece of muslin, doubled into an inch or so band and sewing this bit of stiffening into the sleeves just in front of the shoulder. Another point worth notice is that with a full skirt a blouse waist is not effective; a tight bodice for a full skirt. We must mention a charming linen gown we saw recently in the window of a very exclusive little shop. It was a sort of white, but not dead-white, leaned to creamy gray, if one can imagine it; it was made with a yoke of eyelet embroidery, and the puffed elbow sleeves had a deep frill of the same embroidery. Simple and elegant! Droop Hat Again in order to enjoy her millinery thoroughly. The trimming peeps out from under the brim, falls on the hair, very little of it seems on the hat proper, save a soft scarf of tule. Small round shapes, turbans and sailors are to have their day, the sailor also tipped well down over the face. And, a matter we called recent attention to, the lingerie hats, washable affairs, are to be in vogue. These lingerie hats are often prophesied, and we had grown a bit skeptical of hats usually devoted to babies at the seaside ever obtaining among grown women to any extent. But now they are surely to be popular, and come in such attractive designs it is small wonder they have won their way. They are rather largish, on the "picture" order. One designed by an artist had a crown and brim of white, the material the English eyelet embroidery, the trimming a sash of light-blue silk and a bunch of pink roses, the pink that delectable shade that goes so well with pale blue.

Washington, D. C.-The appointment of Charles H. Treat, of New York, to be treasurer of the United States in place of Ellis H. Roberts, and Charles W. Anderson, a New York Afro-American to succeed Mr. Treat as internal revenue collector for the New York district, has been sent to the senate. The changes will not be made until June 1, when Mr. Roberts will have finished an eight-year term. Anderson's appointment will inaugurate President Roosevelt's new policy, under which Negroes will be given good federal jobs in the north as well as in the south. In the distribution of patronage from the White House during the next four years, recognition will be given them in proportion to their percentage of the population, as they are now be solidly republican and New York will enjoy the distinction of being the only big northern city with an Afro-American as one of the government officials. It will be the president's policy to give the large Negro colonies one good job instead of several small places. He figures that there are 57,000 Negroes in New York and the appointment of Mr. Anderson is intended as a reward for their service to the party. A city that can show 100,000 Negroes will get a better place and 50,000 Negroes will be given a smaller one. Anderson was selected because he is the only Afro-American member of the republican state committee of New York and he appoints it is a personal one with the president. It has been agreed to by both of the New York senators. The president has talked his policy over with the northern senators and they are in line with it. Mr. Anderson lived in Cleveland years ago. 2 One Year. £1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Gov. Hoch, of Kansas, is no credit to his ancestry when it comes to matters of vital interest to our race. In nearly all of the president's speeches can be found that grand plea for fair treatment for all deserving without reference to class, color, or religion. Good! President Roosevelt has given a member of the race one of the very best federal appointments in the north, something no other president of this country has ever dared to do. A grand man that! Some of our contemporaries, who several weeks ago were apparently greatly agitated over Prof. Du Bols' $3,000 "Debit and Credit" subsidy charge, will do well to read carefully and thoughtfully the Boston, Mass., letter elsewhere in this paper. It is an expose that will prove valuable in reaching correct conclusions. There is no doubt in our minds but that the editor of the Boston Guardian has rendered the race press signal service in the legal contest he waged against the Boston Colored Citizen and apparently its backer. The few race publications and correspondents that "boom" Booker T. Washington are entirely too quick and too liberal with their contemptable abuse of everything and every body who differs from them ever so little in any estimate of Booker T. Washington's methods, sayings, etc MAINTAIN YOUR ENDOWED MANHOOD. When God made man, He breathed into him the breath of life and man became a living soul. After His own image He made man, and He made him to stand erect, face upward to the heavens. The endowment of mind and soul was no more and no less sacred to one man than to another. The breath of life was and is an immortal endowment, which qualifies all men alike to render homage and obeisance to the God of creation. In paying homage to God, the creature, man was to assert his manhood and to exercise those rights from a high sense of conscious duty, without encroachment upon the rights of others, and in strict obedience to the will of the Maker. Recognizing this fact, all individuals, irrespective of races or conditions, are enjoined to demean and prove themselves men as becometh them. No expediency at any time demands a surrender of those principles which embody true manhood. We speak of that manhood which fearlessly assists the integrity of its cause and bids defiance to bribes, compromise or cowardly truckling in the face of righteous duty. The cause of humanity and God involves too much to generations and races to be tampered with and frittered away by those who aspire to places of trust, of honor and influence, only through selfish ambition or at the sacrifice of principle and honor. Men need to be well guarded in their aspirations to win success or to gain favor, rather than stand bravely for the right. The truckling coward, when known as such, should be shunned as an unsafe man, for if he bends the knee to Baal in one instance, he is likely to do so again. The noblest motive which spurs the soul is the disposition and determination to do right at any cost or sacrifice. It pays all the time and it pays in the end. The inducement to barter with a principle may promise wealth, influence and position, but a day comes when ill-gotten gains perish from our grasp. All history attests the truth of this declaration. How about many of our leaders today? Are they waging a fight for the sake of the mighty principles at stake, or are they striving for ephemeral fame, for a price, and the realization of some vain promise of individual promotion? Is it for self-aggrandization regardless of a name long to be cherished and revered? Let us in all candor answer this question for ourselves. No man should aspire to leadership unless he means to lead out upon a fair and honorable plane; unless he means to play an open and undisguised hand and that shall subserve the best interest of the people, the greatest good for the greatest number. Ambition may impel the individual to assume responsibilities that bring high distinction while at the same time they impose grave and serious burdens. But let the individual meet these responsibilities in entire forgetfulness of selfish gains or personal grandizement and there can be no just cause for complaining or censure. If we must aspire to the best places or seek that which affords personal remuneration, yet a high public servant must bear in mind that he owes his first and last duty to the people. Duty to our constituents and to those whom we serve is a primary and binding one, so sacred that all other obligations must be subordinate to it. It is a mistake to suppose that a just and righteous cause must suffer because through unwisdom and adverse circumstances we inflict penalties upon ourselves. We thus express ourselves because there seems to be a growing spirit of venality which actuates persons to look out for number one, regardless of plighted vows and the obligations of a brave and unfagging manhood. It is that which the times so much demand; it is that which the need of our own struggling race is now feeling its way upward and grander life. We of all the races must assert the integrity of our souls, and maintain that principle, despite all opposition and despite the seductions of those who by filthy lucre may hope to beguile us to do what manliness and conscience forbid. It is the motive coupled with wisdom that determines true manhood. It is that which degrades or exaltes and, verily, if a selfish and gluttonous motive prompts the individual in the effort he makes whether in private or public life, then manhood and public virtue are despoiled while the cause for which good people labor suffers. We mean to be plain and pointed, that those who aspire to places of trust or who seek to become leaders and guides, may be reminded again and again that in every trying emergency, in every hour and conflict and in the moment of triumph, when the sky is unclouded, manhood—true manhood—is always in demand. And in the moment of trial, of weakness and want, we must stand upon our manhood or we fail. EMMETT J. SCOTT INVOLVED. Two Libel Suits Aired in Court and Tuskegee's "Fine Italian Hand" Exposed. Boston, Mass.—There was a mild sensation among the spectators present on the afternoon of Feb. 21 in the civil business session of the municipal court where a cross-libel suit between the two local Afro-American papers was being argued before Judge Wentworth, when Charles Alexander, editor of The Colored Citizen, referring to an article published in his paper October 8, and after admitting that the word "toad" in said article meant W. M. Trotter, editor of the Guardian a paper well known to be an Booker Washington, replied from the witness stand in answer to the question by the opposing attorney, "Who wrote the word, 'toad', Mr. Scott," the Mr. Scott in question being as previously testified, Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee, Ala., who is private secretary of Dr. Booker T. Washington and the responsible head of Tuskegee institute when Mr. Washington is away. As Attorney Feely, for Mr. Alexander, in opening the case had dwelt upon the hostility of the editor of The Guardian to Booker T. Washington as the motive behind the alleged libel on the editor of The Citizen, the above admission together with the previous statement of Mr. Alexander that Emmet J. Scott was the institigator and in part the author of the article in The Citizen on which Mr. Trotter brought suit, gave the case a which of the word "toad" above mentioned occurred was in an article printed in The Citizen entitled "The Circus Act Again" and under the heading, "Special Correspondence From New York," representing that Mr. Trotter had seen the republican managers relative to campaign fund and had failed to obtain any and read as follows: "If Washington would notice this toad he would be satisfied, and, as a friend of that good man, I would suggest you mentioning to Washington that if he will invite this creature to dinner, or show him any courtesy whatever, he will cease his continued meanness, and sell himself for 'recognition.'" The Rev. Herbert S. Johnson, of the Warren Avenue Baptist church, was called to the witness stand by E. P. Benjamin, Esq., attorney for Mr. Trotter, and testified that the article in The Guardian complained of by Mr. Alexander gave an untrue impression of the respective remarks of Mr. A. exander and of himself especially and had sent Mr. Trotter a letter which the latter had pitted in The Guardian of December 17, giving his version of the episode at his church, at the request of Mr. Trotter who had called on him to find out the facts in the case. Under cross examination of Mr. Alexander by Attorney Benjamin the following was brought out. Referring to an article in The Citizen of October 1 by Attorney Benjamin. Question. To whom did you refer in your article? Answer. The editor of The Guardian. Q. By whom was it written. A. I assume the responsibility of its authorship. Q. By whom was it written? A. I assume the responsibility of it I could not tell who wrote it. In fact I wrote some of it. Q. How did you get it? A. Through the mail. Q. Do you know who sent it? A. Yes. Q. Who sent it? A. Mr. Emmet J. Scott. Q. Where does he reside? A. In Tuskegee, Alabama. At the conclusion of the examination of Rev. Johnson the case was continued. When to Oppose Candidates for Office. Springfield, O.—Our people of this city can not afford to support as a candidate for office any man of any party who is known to be prejudiced against, or in anyway inimical to the interests of the race. They should exercise great care in the selection of all candidates to support for local offices especially. This includes county officials. When we know a man has done the race or a member of it injury or held him or her back, solely on account of race or color, or both, we should not support him for office under any circumstances. Do not forget this for a moment. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1905. OHIO LETTERS. (Continued from First Page.) ing.

Springfield, Ill.—Unless all signs fail the state of Illinois is to have an anti-lynching law on her statute books as the result of the efforts of our present representative in the lower house of the general assembly.

Green, of the first senatorial district, (Chicago) has introduced a bill in that body which makes mob violence a felony punishable by fine and imprisonment, with a provision for damages to the families of parties lynched, etc. The bill, in some respects, is similar to the Smith anti-lynching law of Ohio, and like it, is thought to be so carefully and skillfully used to stand the test of the supreme court. Mr. Green has sounded the feelings of a large number of the members of the house and senate and says he is confident the measure will pass both houses without any considerable opposition. Governor Deneen is said to favor the bill and will give it his endorsement in the assembly. Three divinity schools have been established in Little Rock, Ark., by the John C.

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, in 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 has astounded the whole world by its miraculous and mysterious power in lengthening, straightening and defining the hair. It is the result of the many 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 looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully preserve the attractiveness and beauty of youth, Miss Martin said, "Why it is very simple to me and every woman, be she white or colored, young or old, or as ugly as itself, can become pretty, shapely and graceful if she will 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 such agencies and materials which I identify and the human world. In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bountifully 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 formulate into various preparations which enhance and preserve 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 fail 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 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 look as if it was dressed with ease and in any prevailing style design. 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 are substitution is very attractive to all." Seeing our great success and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of dealing, numerous unscrumpulous 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 ruin, 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 to sell the people many 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 card will do. We will also send our catalogue which describes in detail our hair tonics, face bleaches and other toilet requisites.

The entertainment given Monday March 6th, by the Ald society of St James' church, at G. A. R. hall, corner Doan and Euclid, was a complete success. The program committee has the congratulations of an appreciative audience for the promptness with which they opened at 8 p. m. sharp. They have set the pace, let us keep it up. An attractive feature of the evening was a recitation by Mrs Jamieson. It was well received, she being cited back several times. It is hoped to have Jamieson again the near future. The Men's club is contemplating a quiet "talk" at which time the Hon. H. C. Smith editor of The Gazette, is expected to deliver an address. As the result of Rev. J. S. Jackson's caustic comment upon the attendance of certain members of Mt. Zion church upon the recent charity ball, it is said that the Hon. Jere A. Brown, local government immigration inspector, and for years one of the most prominent members of the church, has asked for his letter, which, if granted, will sever his connection with the church. It seems that the pastor was unduly severe in the criticisms mentioned above, and that the dissension caused thereby has steadily increased until a rupture in the membership seems imminent. There is a very dark squall in Mt. Zion's horizon these days, which seems to be approaching rapidly. The crisis cannot be far off. Rev. H. C. Balley, pastor of Antioch church, preached a very interesting sermon Sunday morning. Subject "Will a Man Rob God?" Rev. Matthews read the scripture Sunday evening, at which time communion was celebrated. Instead of preaching the service consisted of songs and testimonies. The Y. M. E. S. will hold its meeting every Tuesday evening at 7:30 sun time.

THE COAL WAS DELIVERED. However the Man Who Brought It Dumped It Into the Wrong Hole. A confectioner at 475 Fourth avenue ordered three tons of coal to be delivered the other day. A driver, with a three- ton wagon, went to the store late in the afternoon, and the sidewalk near the curb, and chucked three tons into the dark hole. Then he drove away, says the New York Times. The confectioner went down to the cellar, where he worked, and found none. He wondered for some time, as he remembered seeing the coal wagon in front of his store, but he told the company he had received no coal. The driver went to see about it. "What's the matter?" he asked. "You got your coal. What ye kick in' about?" "Didn't get any coal. Come down into the cellar and see it," into the coal hole "Why, I dumped it into the coal hole out there!" "Which hole?" "That one," said the driver, pointing to the cover near the curb. "Himmel!" exclaimed the purchaser, in agony, "then't the cool hole, the water." What They Say. It is not often in these busy times that people comment favorably upon things in general which appeal to them in a satirical manner, perfunctory, not meaning what we say. This, however, was not at the spirit in which the following letter was recently written to a ticket agent of the Rockland Hotel, "Los Angeles, Calif, Jan. —, 1905. "Dear Mr. —: We arrived here Saturday safely and enjoyed our trip very much on the Golden State Limited. In the final that they have ever traveled on. The accommodations were first class in every respect—the Sleepers, the Observation Car, the Diner, the Buffet-library smoker, with bath and barber could not have been more gentlemen and very obliging—doing all they could to make everybody enjoy themselves and feel at home. I shall try to get my friends and relatives to us tran when coming to California." John Sebastian, passenger traffic manager, singles this out as one of the many commendatory letters that have been received from him. Limited is maintaining first place among transcontinental limited trains. San Francisco is putting on additional metropolitan airs every day. Her police force now is found to be utterly corrupt. —Los Angeles Express. SKIN PURIFICATION.

Chicago, Ill.—Miss Daisy Underwood, (Dazalia "Mundoora") of Cleveland, was the star attraction at a concert at Bethel church on the 27th. Although the audience was not large it was quite appreciative and was keenly alive to Mile, Mundoora's vocal excellencies.

Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange Spells of Numbness and Weakness Recovers Perfect Health. When she was fourteen years old, Mrs, Ida L. Brown had St. Vitus' dance. She finally got over the most noticeable features of the strange ailment, but was still troubled by very uncomfortable sensations, which she recently described as follows: "One hand, half of my face, and half of my tongue would get cold and numb. These feelings would come on, last for about ten minutes, and then go away, several times a day. Besides I would have palpitation of the heart, and my strength would get so low that I could hardly breathe. As time went on these spells kept coming offener and growing worse. The numbness would sometimes extend over half my body." "How did you get rid of them?" "It seemed for a long time as if I never could get rid of them. It was not until about six years ago that I found a remedy that had virtue enough in it to reach my case. That was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have since entirely cured me." "Did it take long to effect a cure?" "No I hadn't taken the whole of the first box before I saw a great improvement. So I kept on using them, growing better all the time, until I had taken eight boxes and then I was perfectly well, and I have remained in good health ever since with one exception." "What was that?" "Oh I that was when I had the grip. I was in bed, under the doctor's care, for two weeks. When I got up I had dreadful attacks of dizziness. I had to grasp hold of something or I would fall right down. I was just miserable, and when I saw the doctor was not helping me, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills again. In a short time they cured me of that trouble too, and I have never had any dizzy spells since." Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 DeWitt street, Mattono, Illinois. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are without an equal for the rapid and thorough cure of nervous prostration. They expel the poison left in the system by such diseases as grip and are the best of tonics in all cases of weakness. They are sold by every druggist. RAILWAY RUMOR The German government railways employed 559,451 persons in 1903; the number of locomotives in use was 20,845. The total length of the Russian railway system on January 14 was 37,571/2 miles. In 1904 there were thrown open to traffic 679 miles. The final spike in the railroad from Canton to Samshul was driven the other day. But before it had been driven down 24 hours it was stolen by the Chinese. English railroad directors give prizes to station masters who keep the best cultivated flower beds at their respective stations. Some of the gardens thus maintained are beautiful. In 1898 the butter hulled over the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad was 400,000 pounds. Last year it was nearly 14,000,000, the gain coming wholly from developments of creameries along the railroad. A report from Teheran, the capital of the shah's empire, is to the effect that the Persian government is negotiating with Russia for the purpose of building a railroad from the Russian frontier to the capital of Persia. Traffic through the railway tunnel at Port Huron, Mich., will soon be handled by six electric locomotives. The third rail system will be used, with the rail placed at the side of the tunnel to avoid accidents to workmen. Thomas Fitzgerald, who has been appointed general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, entered the service of that corporation as water boy in 1867 and has never left it. He was born of irish parents in Fairmont, W. Va. THE TRICKS Coffee Plays on Some. It hardly pays to laugh before you are certain of facts, for it is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. "When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. "So I commenced it again and continued about 6 months until my stomach commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. "One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my husband hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doctor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. "My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee. But I said: 'Take that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of coffee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.' He and the others laughed at me and said: "The idea of coffee killing anybody." "Well,' I said, 'it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it.' "In the grocery one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how good it was but said nothing to the hired men and they thought they had drank coffee until we laughed and told them. Well we kept on with Postum and it was not long before the color came back to my cheeks and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did in my life. I have no more stomach trouble and I know I owe it all to Postum in place of coffee. "My husband has gained good health on Postum, as well as baby and I, and we all think nothing is too good to say about it." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. WASHINGTON'S' ADVISE. Tells Our People to Get a Home and a Bank Account. New York City—"Eschew cheap jewelry," "Quit taking $5 burgies on $6 a week," "Don't buy a $5 hat for a 5-cent head" were some of the admonitions of Booker T. Washington at the New Rochelle theater recently. "Get a bank account," he continued, "and get a home of your own. Get some property. Get a start in the world in some way. What good is it to you northern Negroes that you live in cities with paved streets if you don't own anything? Don't be satisfied with the shadows of civilization; get some of the substance. "There are now about 10,000,000 of us in this country," said Mr. Washington. "Quite recently about 600 Negroes set out for Africa and some wiseacre saw in this a solution of the problem. But, ladies and gentlemen, on that same morning about 600 new Negro babies made their bow into the world down in the south. "Another suggestion is to just let the matter drift—that intermarriage of Negroes with other races would soon wipe them out. We all know better than that. It takes 100 per cent. white blood to make a white man and only one drop of Negro blood to make a Negro." Wheeling, W.

For Separate Presbyteries New York City.—By a vote of 21 to 18, the Brooklyn Presbytery has gone on record as in favor of allowing the organization of separate Presbyteries for Negroes within the bounds of Presbyteries established for white persons. Shame! Rev W. A. Alexander, pastor of the only Negro church in the city, opposed it vigorously, declaring it was unscriptural, un-American, contrary to the spirit of the declaration of independence and adverse to the progressive sentiment of other denominations. Wagoner's Trial Is in Prog Akron, O, March 8.—The trial of Capt. Aaron Wagoner, cashier of the Akron savings bank for many years, began Tuesday under a perjury charge.

Wagoner is president of the state penitentiary board of managers. Incorporations. Columbus, O., March 9—incorporations yesterday: The Continental Sugar Co.

A salesman in a department store who possesses considerable wit entered a restaurant in the central section of the city the other day, and, finding the waiter had been a recent arrival from Ireland, told him he wanted two fried eggs, says the Philadelphia Press. "I want them on one side, and the other egg fried on the other side, and I want them quick," the salesman added. "Would you kindly write that on a piece of paper?" said the waiter. "Haven't got time. Be quick, I tell you." "One fried egg fried on both sides and the other fried egg fried on the other side," muttered the Irishman as he was leaving the table. In a few minutes the salesman heard much noise in the kitchen. There were loud words and they were punctuated with sounds which seemed like blows. Presently the water appeared much excited, and, rushing up to the salesman, exclaimed, "And had a terrible fight wid the cook about those eggs and you'll have to take them scrambled." Doing Great Work. Ward, Ark., March 6th. (Special)—From all over the West reports come of cures of different forms of Kidney Disease that are not without evidence of the great work the Great American Kidney Remedy is doing. Among the cured here is Mr. J. V. Waggen, well known to the public in interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills have done wonders for me. My kidneys and bladder were badly out of order. I used many medicines but got nothing to cure me. Two boxes of them fixed me up so that I have been well ever since." "Tell the poor kidney and bladder diseased people to take Dodd's Kidney Pills and use no case of kidney complaint is too far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure. They are the only remedy that has ever cured Bright's Disease. The attempt to discipline automobile owners by filing the chauffeurs has not proved the success that was hoped for.

Is there any stronger proof of merit, than the Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless the yeast patient seldom survives, the yeast patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that it is the correct complement of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially useful in such cases, sands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it.
