TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 35. Concerning Some Street Suits CHIO LETTERS. THE COAT What to Wear in the Evening What to Wear in the Evening HECKS are more prominent than they have been in years. They are all well enough for her that can buy a suit and towed strictly to a hotel to do so. A plan to make one costume do HECKS are more prominent than they have been in years. They are all well enough for her that can buy a suit devoted strictly to utility and does not have to plan to make one costume do service on various kinds of occasions. Checks are a relief from the one-tone cloths, and many shown this season are very attractive; but as a rule they cannot be worn so long as plain goods, the wearer much sooner wearying of the fancier material. When it comes to the checked silks of the season, one must confess they are unusually pleasing; checks and hair lines and dots, all of an artistic jumble of color. Checked silks will rival the shot silks this summer; one dare not say as yet which will be winner. The checked wool all come in fine smooth cloth; no rough surfaces are seen. One excellent model is of gray light-weight wool with narrow lines of black marking on narrow lines the trimmings gives style, piping of black and white silk embroidered in pinkish blues and browns. The skirt is very plain, platted about the hips. Another good checked model was a Panama cloth of green and blue. The little coat was trimmed with plaitings of green silk, the green silk waistcoat was embroidered in blues and greens, with little touches of black here and there. This suit should be worn with a green silk petticoat, and a bit of style would be added by a parasol of the same verdant hue. Checks and plaid have brought the circular skirt again into favor. And dressmakers find that the desired flare is given very well by the circular cut. The sensible separate walking-skirt will be of smooth-faced cheek, and worn with a trim little bolero will make a very fetching utility suit. NYTHING, so it it light-colored, light-weight, has a low neck and short sleeves. In in the matter of decollete we are copying more and more after our English sisters, to whom "evening NYTHING, so it it light-colored, light-weight, has a low neck and short sleeves. In in the matter of decollete we are copying more and more after our English sisters, to whom "evening dress" means arms and shoulders bare. A pretty design is here illustrated, the bodice is made of rose mousse de soie, has very full short puffs for sleeves, the neck is square both back and front. The trimming of ruchings and band of ribbon makes this very effective, and also it is easily fashioned. One of the new embroidered ribbons may be used, or a velvet ribbon of a little deeper rose than the corsage. In choosing materials remember that color by day and the same under an artificial light are often very different matters, so different as to make the change from becoming to unbecoming. Colors to be worn in the evening should be selected under an artificial light that one may know just what the appearance will be on the occasions for which designed. About wearing the hair; those that have a goodly quantity of woman's glory should wear it done low—that is if at all becoming that way. The best styles at present, we should say, give the low coifure. To some faces the fashion is very trying, and should be shunned without hesitation. Perhaps there never was a period when more liberty was allowed in the matter of hair dressing; and though the low, flat manner is much to the fore, the soft, moderate Pompadour still has a number of followers. The part in the middle continues in high favor. Bracelets and necklaces are in evidence, old and new fashioned turquoise and amethyst have come back to favor, and one sees beautiful pendants and chains of these. Many a woman will surely be glad to hear that the separate waist is no longer ashamed to show itself, that Paris is sending over lovely old blouses. All through the summer we are to have an infinite variety of white waists sported by the well-dressed girl. Just now the stores are showing some very pretty dotted swiss ones, and a great many of sheer lawn trimmed with eyelid embroidery. China silks continue in favor, and those trimmed with valen- In Unison There Is Strength What some call blurred plaids and checks are really very lovely and come in finest materials. A gray that was almost a green was combined with orange and showed occasional touches of pinkish yellow tones. The trimming was white braid and buttons covered with yellow silk, the waistcoat was of white silk. Even in volles we find these delicate color combinations; delicate grays blending with soft lavenders, green and white prettily contrasted, champagne and pastel-blue. There are no startling contrasts, the softest tones are employed. A great deal of white is introduced in the costumes of the spring, and all through the summer white will have sway. The vogue of chemisettes and deep cuffs of lace, of wide white collares, continues, and it is hoped this quaint, pretty fashion will have a long day. A fashion that is trying to make headway, but which we do not bank on, is the elbow-sleeve for wool street dresses. It is a French innovation, which will not immediately find followers in this practical side of the water. It would quite remain a matter of gloves. The afternoon gown with elbow sleeves is an assured success, and there is reason in this; for gowns for home wear or afternoon tess and card parties we can afford to go in for fanciful apparel, but for the exigencies of shopping and marketing we prefer a simple style of waist and coat—the shirt-waist suit, for instance, the costume evolved in this country. Colored hats are appearing; the milliners tell us we are to wear gray headgear the coming season. Green seems to be having its innings even more than last summer, which was quite green enough, we thought. Maline will be extensively used for crowns and trimmings, and it is generally becoming. Outing hats will be almost universally of felt, on the whole a sensible thing. THE LATE MODE. ciennes lace and insertion are very good style. For those that look upon the silk pet-ticoat as an extravagance, a luxury whose day is too short a one, there is offered a skirt that lasts well, washes well and is silk—the pongee. The one drawback is the softness of the material, but they are now made so full the salespeople declare they are very satisfactory. The deep girdles, or corselets, now so much worn are often attached to the dress-skirt, extend below the belt quite as much as above. The blossy fullness is now liked for the immediate front of a waist, but the sides and back are fitted closely. Unlined waists would better in some instances be boned at sides and back to give this effect. ELLEN OSMONDE A Prescription.

(Special to The Gazette.) Nashville, Tenn.—There are two sides to the picture of life in the south. One side is as bright as it could be anywhere in the world, and this is the side usually seen by the stranger. He is quickly captivated by the hospitality and friendliness of the south, for no people can dissemble better than the average southerner, white and black, and the unsuspecting guest returns to his home sounding the praises of a people whom he thinks he knows thoroughly, but, in fact, whom he has seen only in their "Sunday" aspect. Of course the mean and criminal man is in the vast minority, but one man may tear down in a day what it takes him, hundred years, to build. And his self-importance, or fear, or self-interest or inertia compels the majority to silently acquiesce in the deeds of the minority. This condition renders the south a fertile field for the growth of every form of cruelty and injustice. The savage white man finds a very valuable tool in those Negroes who betray their fellows in order to curry favor, and when evidence is not strong enough for their purpose (although in most cases an accusation is proof enough) they soon find enough men to swear to anything, however improbable or even impossible, to hang a man for big treason. Nor does the better class of Negroes who betray their fellows do a fellow man whom slander, treachery and false swearing has put under suspicion for fear that they will be charged with defending a criminal. Under such conditions it is a brave man who does not change his sails to suit the wind. And so when you read of a colored man defending a person or cause connected with the race, mark him as a hero, for he has 'done something'. In the north it would be a matter of little moment, but in the south it is a sign of bravery of a high order. At another time we will write of the bright side, but here are a few incidents apropos to the foregoing remarks: A bill is pending in the Tennessee legislature to have "Jim Crow" street cars. Our people in a mass meeting of about 2,000 resolved to walk after the bill became a law, except in cases of urgent necessity. Red hot speeches were made, but each speaker disclaimed any intention of resorting to violence. They seem to be thoroughly aroused, but that seems to have no effect on the legislation. Ways and means are being considered to transport our people about the city other than street cars when the law goes into effect. A boy had a dispute with a white one. A passing policeman attempted to arrest the boy, who escaped by jumping into the river and whenceupon the policeman deliberately shot him to death. This accident (2) occurred in sight of some of our most prominent men of Nashville, as well as a crowd of people who happened to be there at the time. The policeman—well, "it was only a little nigger boy, anyway." Another policeman ordered two men to leave the vicinity of a saloon one Sunday. One went, but the other, feeling somewhat independent, said that "after awhile a colored man won't be allowed to walk on the street." After awhile the policeman returned and while arresting the man knocked his eyeball out of the socket. The policeman afterwards explained that he thought the man had a revolver. When the man recovers he will probably be fine for creating a disturbance. I a young girl of a prominent family was standing in her yard watching a crowd at a distance. A white woman coming along inquired of the girl what the policemen were doing in the crowd. "I don't know," said the girl, "but if you ask the policemen they may tell you." The white woman was furious. The girl went into the house and sat down to finish some sewing. Suddenly the door flew open and a burly policeman grabbed her, saying "come along with me." "But," said the girl, "you have not heard my side of the case." "That," said the policeman, "is the judge's business. I need to hear only one side." The patrol wagon was sent for. In the meanwhile the girl's father came with a buggy and asked to be allowed to take the girl to the station in his house. This was refused: nor would they allow the girl's mother to ride with her in the patrol wagon. A collection was taken up in charge for the girl's defense. When the call for money was made after the recital of this outrage the people arose on mase and money fell upon the table like rain drops. There is a young man here from Ohio, Rev. D. L. Ferguson, recently made an Episcopal priest, who has made quite a name for himself. It was he who compelled a southern bishop to retract a statement belittling the morals of the race. Rev. Ferguson is a gentleman and scholar of great ability and is likely to be of great service to the race. He is well known in Ohio, having relatives in Cleveland, and has also been a student in Boston. In regard to his noble work for the race The Gazette and Boston Guardian gave him great credit about a year ago. Will E.

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. THE CHARGE IS UNJUST. It is quite unfair that the Afro-American press of the country should be charged with abuse against the southern white people because it enters a solemn and uncompromising protest against the wrongs and injustice done Afro-Americans by that same people. What in all reason do Prof. Council and men of his kind mean in making such a charge against the friends and advocates of a cause so just and righteous? Religion and humanity demand that oppression and wrong shall be denounced in unsparing terms, and he who does so becomes the friend and benefactor of all men the world over. To protest against the cruelties and crimes perpetrated against our people, particularly those in the south, is a mission as sacred as that which inspired the souls of the apostles to cry aloud and spare not. The friends of human justice everywhere are engaged in the work of defending the poor and the oppressed and it goes without saying that nowhere in all Christianism is to be found more suffering and outrage among men than in the southland. The gospel of Jesus Christ forbids it, the civilization of the world forbids it, the spirit of the age forbids it, and the manhood of black humanity forbids it. These all combine in one, entering their protest against the alarming tortures and crimes inflicted upon helpless and defenseless mortals whose sufferings daily call out to heaven for redress. And now comes Prof. Council, hoping to magnify himself as a central figure and leader among the southern whites, accusing the Afro-American press with vituperation and abuse against the south. But the professor knows better. He very well knows the motive that prompts these faithful few of the nation to plead this cause, and he knows that a bold exposure of wrong and its denunciation is not abuse. Abuse of any kind is underserved reproach upon the innocent and the offending. Who that knows anything of the history of the south in its many years of torturing and bloody persecution, dares deny that the people of the south do not stand guilty? The charge is made and until atonement and exoneration is made, the Afro-American press of the country is pledged and bound to make the protest. This is the mission of the Negro press of America today, and it is the grandest and noblest work to which human hands and hearts have ever been dedicated on earth. No greater mission and no sublimer cause has ever yet engaged the human mind than this. It is the cause of personal liberty and human elevation, it is the cause of free government and Christian civilization, it is the cause of Christ on earth among men and it is the cause made foremost in rescuing and saving a nation from apostacy and from the error of its ways. We cannot compromise nor surrender this cause, neither for mercy gain, nor for life itself. Nor for popular favor, can we turn our hearts from the principles which make for liberty and justice for all men. Let us fear God rather than man; fear to do wrong and maintain the truth at any cost. A QUEER CLAIM The Nashville American, a rather liberal and fair-dealing democratic journal, in a recent editorial, boldly declares that "democrats have favored all that is best in the republican party and that party has appropriated democratic ideas." In the above statement, the American is quite blased in its claims, since democracy favors all that is best in the republican party, yet opposes the party in those measures most vital to the country. The republican party has always contended for equal justice, equal liberty and equal protection to every American citizen. It has stood uncompromisingly for free and fair elections and an untrampled constitution. It has stood for just and wholesome laws which admit of no discrimination on account of color or previous condition of servitude. It has advocated the civil and political rights of Afro-Americans as well as Anglo-Americans. It favors an equal chance in the race of life for all men irrespective of races. It repudiates the aggressive spirit of religious caste, while it recognizes the brotherhood of man and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It "does more—it acknowledges the manhood of the Negro, acknowledges his loyalty and devotion to the country in time of war and in peace, and offers him the patronage of his government as his own just reward and in recognition of his claims as an American citizen. To deny the Afro-American the claims to which he is so justly entitled as a man and a citizen, is unquestionably one of the most unpardonable crimes perpetrated against human governments for which the democratic party now stands convicted. The republican party, though opposed by an inverteate political foe, yet it has done gloriously for humanity and the country. No political party has done as much for the country and free government, and none has so liberalized public sentiment and exalted the American name. But let American democracy of today enumerate its achievements and services to the country, let the leaders disclose the record, and what do we find but one persistent and restless determination to oppose, nullify and undo the work of the republican party. From Lincoln even down to President Roosevelt, the greatest of American rulers, there has been one unyielding and untiring effort to abrogate the great work and measures proclaimed and accomplished through the statesmanship of republican leaders and the party. To subserve these interests and to consummate these ends of free and equal government among men, has been the mission of this party. Does democracy indorse these measures and has it in broad and generous magnanimity labored to conserve these ends? If it has, then it has favored all that is best in the republican party. But if, on the contrary, it has opposed these measures, then American democracy now as it has been in all its history, the foe to equal rights and equal liberty, the foe to the American idea and the constitution, and an enemy to progressive free government. It has offered itself as a standing protest against every measure or proposition favoring the amelioration of the condition of Afro-Americans, and in doing this it opposed the cardinal principles upon which the nation must survive and perpetuate its existence. "The American" in sheer offerrancy may ignore the claims of the Afro-American under this government, it may disregard the demands of duty on the part of its own party to shield black and white alike in the exercise of an unencroached citizenship, and it is in this respect that the democratic party criminates itself as the guiltsian and most mad avenging party known since the days of Robert Toombs and John C. Calhoun, when the slave-holding oligarchy invaded the north in search of fugitive slaves. democracy has long stood for oppression and "white supremacy" against righteousness and the Golden Rule. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Andrew Carnegie has contributed $1,800 to Waugh M. E. church, of Cambridge, Md. The amount is one half the cost of a pipe organ for the new church. Rev. A. L. Martin, pastor. The court of appeals, of Maryland, holds the "Jim Crow" car law that state inoperative as far as interstate passengers are concerned. The suit was instituted and conducted by Attorney W. H. H. Hart, of Washington, D. C. a professor in Howard university law school. The decision of the court was predicated upon a number of pertinent United States supreme court decisions. Some "colored" men doing business and depending upon the race for patronage seem to proceed on the assumption that they should be patronized because they are "colored." So they are not accommodating to their would-be customers. They fail to keep goods that are up to the standard. They neglect to keep their places of business tidy and shut out the loafers. As a matter of fact, "colored" men in business should come up to the different respects indicated and then they ought to expect and have the patronage of our people.—Charlotte (N. C.)

FOREIGNERS TO TAKE TOLL Creditors Other Than Those from the United States Would Collect Revenues at Custom Houses and Retain 55 Per Cent. of Their Proceeds. Washington, March 28.—Mr. Dawson, the American minister at San Domingo, has canned the state department that the Dominican government has had before it for consideration several plans for the satisfaction of the claims of foreigners, and to tide over the hiatus caused by the failure of the senate to act upon the Dominican treaty, the Dominican government has about concluded to install foreign agents in the United States to collect revenues, 45 per cent. of which are to be applied to the maintenance of the government and the remaining 55 per cent. to be placed on deposit subject to disbursement among the foreign creditors in the future, after the senate has had an opportunity to again consider the treaty. This proposition was the subject of a conference at the White House Monday between the president, Secretary Taft, Senator Lodge, Senator Spooner and Acting Secretary Adee, but it was stated that no conclusion has been reached. San Domingo, March 28. A note from American Minister Dawson to the Dominican government was published here Monday.

A TEN-YEAR SENTENCE. Judge Tayler Fixes the Punishment for Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick. Cleveland, March 28.—In his argument in the federal court yesterday for a new trial for Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, Attorney Dawley alleged that Mrs. Chadwick was convicted by a jury practically composed of but 11 men. One juror, he maintained, was an illegal juror, in that Butler F. Crane appeared and sat all through the trial. Mrs. Crane pleaded for Bentley F. Crane without divulging his own name. He also accused District Attorney Sullivan of gross misconduct in conducting the case. District Attorney Sullivan followed Dawley in an argument to sustain the verdict of the jury and against granting a new trial. Ex-Judge Wing then spoke for Mrs. Chadwick.

Japs Withdraw from Russian Front. St. Petersburg, March 28. The impression prevalent in some military circles that the Japanese, having removed the possibility of the main army in Manchuria assuming the initiative, will now turn their attention to Vladivostok, is strengthened by an Associated Press dispatch from Gunshu Pass announcing the withdrawal of the Japanese from the immediate front of the Russian army for a distance of 35 miles south.

WILL ACCEPT THE $100,000 Commissioners for Foreign Missions Intend to Use Cash Given by Mr. Rockefeller. Boston, March 30—The American board of commissioners for foreign missions announced yesterday that its prudential committee had accepted a report of the sub-committee, re- commending the acceptance of the gift of $100,000 by John D. Rockefeller, but that final action on the matter had been postponed for two weeks. The committee in a public statement says: "Your committee sees no reason why we should have departed from the custom of the board and made our committee practically a tribunal to decide whether gifts are to be received. "It it seems to us that it would have been an usurpation if we had tried to atop the money of any man who wished to give it for missionary work. The reason assigned for rejecting the recent gift is that gifts constitute a relation of 'honor' between the recipient and the donor. This gift was made without conditions. This means that the donor has no obligation to the donor. The church must make such an assumption about all its gifts or receive none at all." FIRE FOLLOWED EXPLOSION Collision in the New York Subway Caused All Kinds of Trouble. New York, March 30—A severe explosion, followed by an outbreak of fire, which up to a late hour last night defied all the efforts of the firemen to completely extinguish it, occurred Wednesday in the unfinished section of the subway at Broadway and One Hundred and Sixty-seventh street. The road at that point is 125 feet below the surface. The explosion followed a collision between an empty train, which had been run too far beyond the terminal switch, and a flat car on which were several Italian laborers. It was rumored that the shock detonated a box of dynamite cartridges on the car, although all the men on the car escaped uninjured. General Manager Hedley stated that there was no dynamite in the tunnel and that the explosion was caused by a short circuit on the third rail and the fire which was extinguished, which set fire to some of the timbers used by the contractor in shoring up the tunnel. No person was injured. THEY ALLOBEYED PROMPTLY Panama Canal Commissioners Resigned When Requested by Senator Bernie Sanders Washington, March 30.—The first practical step having in view the reorganization of the Panama canal commission was taken Wednesday when, in compliance with instructions from President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft requested the members of the commission to tender their resignations. This request was promptly compiled with by those members of the commission now in Washington and their resignations will be in the hands of the president to day. It was believed originally that better results might be accomplished by the commission than that now existing, but a recent opinion of Attorney General Moody held that under the law the president was required to name seven members in all. The appointments probably will be announced by the president during his southern trip. Japan Demands Huge Indemnity. St. Petersburg, March 30.—Officially the authorities deny that Russia has made any proposals to Japan. It is asserted in well informed quarters that Japan Las permitted Russia to learn that the peace conditions will be severely rigorous. In particular it is said that Japan's indemnity figure is $800,000 and that this stupendous man has proved to be a stan diplomacy that it is the chief cause why the peace preliminaries do not advance to a decisive stage.

Jackson preached an interesting sermon. In view of the fact that the new home for the old folks has been occupied three years, it has been devised to hold a public reception next week. Wednesday evening, serving supper. All interested are cordially invited to be present and see what has been accomplished during the last year. The Ladies' Progressive Art Needle work club entertained the Ladies' Wednesday Art club at the home of Mrs. G. Jones, Quebec street, last week Wednesday evening. The house was tastefully decorated with palms and cut flowers. A fine literary and musical program was rendered by the members. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, of Oberlin, were visiting guests. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Hallstock and son, of Akron, were in the city Sunday, guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Henderson, of Newton street, Mr. Hallstock is in more Edinburgh. Mr. Hallstock will occupy Mr. and Mrs. Henderson residence, 49 Grant street, the last of next week. Mr. and Mrs. Bolden have gone out on the Lake Shore, west of this city near Dover, to take charge of a beautiful country residence. Mrs. Andrew Tolbert and daughter, Miss Emma, of Hackman street, entertained Tuesday at an eight course dinner in honor of Miss Halle Q. Brown and Miss Clark, of Wilberforce, the following named persons: Mrs. Weaver and daughter, Miss Martha, Misses Addie Hackley, Willa M. Shook, Mrs. Palmer, Miss Perkins, Mrs. S. T. Boyd and Mrs. "Caddie" Clifford. A reception from 2 to 5 participated in by about 50 friends, followed the dinner. Rimes, the news, notion and cigar storekeeper near the corner of Sterling on Central avenue, who attained considerable notoriety about a year ago, as the result of kicking Jim Gray's little six year old motherless boy, has sold his business and moved to the south side. Mr. Gray, who was seriously injured in the Pennsylvania wreck on the 3d while enroute to the inauguration, is slowly convalescing. Many of our people refused to patronize Rimes as the result of the incident referred to above, and doubtless caused his change of base. They IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

After many months painful illness Mrs. R. J. Johnson, wife of Rev. W., J. Johnson, died Monday at the hospital. The funeral was held Thursday from the residence, 286 Cedar avenue, and was attended by the members of St. Johns and St. James' churches, both of which Elder Johnson has pastored in recent years, and by a large number of people throughout the city. Although in feeble health for many months, Rev. Johnson has been wonderfully active. He is extremely popular because he is a Christian gentleman of broad and general sympathies and has the heart-felt sympathy of the entire community in his great beaement, although it has been expected for many months. Mrs. Johnson was exceptionally strong intellectually, and an active Christian worker as long as her health would permit; a very lovable woman. At the earnest solicitation and repeated requests of J. E. Reed and George W. Johnson, the editor of The Gazette invited the members of the Onward Foraker club, a republican organization which has been in existence for about 10 years, and others to meet in the office of Squire Brenner, Blackstone building, on Tuesday evening, at 5:30 o'clock. Complying with the notification-request fully 40 members and friends of that sterling organization assembled promptly, and electing former president J. E. Reed, temporary presiding officer, and W. J. Howland, temporary secretary, with L. J. Dean as an assistant, proceeded to canvass the matter of reorganizing. Every man present spoke in most enthusiastic terms of the movement and the organization, not only to the organization and especially its officials, but also to republican principles, our grand president, Theodore Roosevelt, and that leader of leaders, jurist, statesman and faithful friend of the race, the senior senator from Ohio, the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, in whose honor the club was originally organized, named, maintained and is being reorganized. After the spontaneous speech making, Hon. Harry C. Smith was elected president; Messrs. Luther Johnson, Daniel Falfax and James Jordan, first, second and third vice presidents respectively; James H. Starkey, treasurer; W. J. Howland, secretary, and Martha Johnson, sergeant-at-arms. After making a presentation business and making provision for the selection of an active and excellent executive committee, the meeting of the Onward Foraker club adjourned to meet at the call of the president. Just prior to adjournment a resolution was unanimously adopted thanking Mr Brenner for the use of his spacious rooms for the meeting. The fight for a place in the sheriff's office was very spirited last week for a few days. The two original contestants for the place, James H. Starkey and Henry Taylor, were not in it at all at the finish, because of the sheriff's desire to have a stenographer and because of the attack the Little Black Tammany made upon Henry Taylor. It seems that a week ago Sunday Sheriff Mulhern told the Hone Jere A. Brown to find him a man for the place who was a stenographer. He selected Alvin Sellers and presented him. Wille Clifford, who had been backing Starkey, dropped his candidate and with Charles Gordon and George Myers went to the support of Sellers. In the meantime, some of the county republican officials (white) brought out Edward Ellsner and urged him upon the sheriff for the place. On last Thursday afternoon Brown, Myers, Clifford and Gordon held a conference in which they were joined by Henry Taylor, and decided to send Messrs. Brown and Myers to the sheriff the next morning at 10 o'clock in the interest of Sellers. In spite of the fact that Henry Taylor's ambition to get into the office had been killed by the Little Black Tammany, he attended the conference as stated above, so Messrs. Brown and Myers called upon the sheriff and were told that he had decided to give the place to Ellsner. This, very naturally, made Jere very angry as well as Myers, both of whom we understand told Mr. Mulhern very plainly that they would not support his candidacy a year from next fall when he seeks renomination and relection. The appointment of Ellsner, while a good one, was an awful downfall for the Little Black Tammany, and "The Grafters" who were represented in the conference by Taylor. That the sheriff was ever hood-winked into paying any attention to the alleged "Twelfth Ward Republican club," better known as "The Graffers," is what surprises us as much as his turn-down of the Hon. Jere Brown, after asking him to find a suitable person for the place. Thus doth harmony and recognition fit from the Hanna-ites of color as well as their white co-laborers of the same factional political persuasion. WONDERFUL DISCOVERY Curly Hair Made Straight By OUR "QUEEN OF SONG" Madam Marie Selika CAN BE ENGAGED FOR CONCERTS, A man by the name of Koler, who conducts a tailor shop at 163 Erie street, has the rental of a double house on Marion street, a part of which has been vacated for some time. Mr. Wheeler, who conducts Bell's barber shop on Central avenue, near Sterling avenue, applied to him recently to rent the rooms and was refused, them—he says—on the grounds, as Koler said, that the other tenants, of which there are several in the same yard, and the landlord, had reached an agreement which was in effect that no colored tenants were to be allowed on the premises. Mr. Wheeler says, that the German family, who occupies one half of the double house, stated plainly to him and his wife and daughter, that they had no objection to our people, or any one else as co-tenants, which makes it clear, if all the reports are true, that the responsibility for the discrimination is to be placed at Koler's door or the landlord, if he is not the landlord. Those of our people who live in the vicinity of his tailor shop on Erie street, know of Mr. Wheeler's experience and see that others of our people in that vicinity are also made acquainted with the facts. There is no use longer ignoring the fact that we have to "strike back" if we are ever to secure justice and fair treatment. Rah' for Rev. H. C. Bailey. Mr. Wheeler, who is employed in Bell's barber shop on Central avenue near Sterling avenue, told a representative of The Gazette recently that when he approached the saloonkeeper at the corner of Central avenue and Laurel street, to rent the vacant rooms above his place, the saloonkeeper's reply was: "The Brewing company will not permit me to rent the rooms to colored people." Those of our people who patronize this sativa grow in the area, more because he pays the money they spend with him to this very same brewing company as he purchases his beer from them. There are many who believe that the brewing company has never taken any such stand and that the saloonkeeper alone is to blame. Tell this to every man of the race who is seen entering that saloon. Directly across the street from him is a much nicer place of the same kind, conducted by 'Mr. Van Dusen, a member of the race. Therefore there can be no further excuse for patronizing such an individual as the one we have referred to. Pass the word along so that every man of our people in the vicinity may become familiar with these facts just as soon as possible, and it will not be long before that saloonkeeper will change his tactics or will have to do as Rimes has been compelled to do—move to another section of the city. The bulk of his trade is from Afro-Americans. Is Expected to be a Wonder. Cleveland, March 29.—A motor boat designed to startle the world of marine racing is being built for Alexander Winton, of Cleveland. Bowdy Crownshield, most noted of auto boat builders, is working on the hull and the machinery is being perfected at the Winton plant in this city.

H, Rynhard, of Starbuck, Man- itoba, Canada, gives an excellent idea of the prosperity of those who have gone from the United States to Can- ada, He says: “L bought, August, 1903, 480 acres of land, paying $12,000 for it. We threshed 2,973 bushels of wheat and between 1,200 and 1,300 bushels of oats and barley from 200 acres. But part of the wheat went down before filling, and was not harvested except for hay. The crop was worth at threshing ime $3000. Besides 120 acres laying idle, except a timothy meadow. which is not included in this estimate. Counting the value of the product and the Increase of value of land will pay me more than 26 per cent. on the investment. Two broth- ers in the same neighborhood bought 160 acres each six years ago. They have not done a single thing to this Jand except to fence it and break and cultivate about one-half of it, Har- vested last year 28 bushels wheat per acre. This year 27 bushels per acre. ‘They can get any day $25 per acre. These are only a few of many hun- dreds of such chances, It looks lke boasting, but truth is justiable, aad the world ought to know it, espectally the home-seeker. I know of quite a few farmers that have made fortunes jo from 10 to 20 years, retired with from $20,000 to $100,000. Writing concerning another district in the Canadian West, S. L. Short says: “Dear Sir:—I have to inform you that I have Just returned from the Carrot River Country in Saskatehe- wan, where I located land of the very finest black vegetable loam, which I am proud of, and will move in the spring. Farmers are still plowing, there. A mild climate and beautiful country to behold. Cattle are fat and running outside, Wood and water good. Saw oats weighing 42 pounds to bushel. Potatoes large and well ripened; also wheat that brought thera 82 cents. ‘The country exceeded my expectations. Saw oats in stock, thicker on the ground than appears in many of the illustrations sent out in descriptive pamphlets. I have bean fn many western states, but the soll excels any I ever saw.” ‘The Canadian Government Agents at @ifferent points report that the in- quirles for literature and railroad rates, ete., to Western Canada are the greatest in the history of their work.
