THE THE FASHION OF THE NORTHWEST TWO SUMMER WAISTS. EPARATE white waists are to be worn the coming summer, and never has there been offered such a variety and such lovely ones. Daintiness characterizes them rather than fussiness, tiny tucks, an embroidered stock, elbow sleeves of considerable fullness distinguish the lingerie waist of 1905. They are just the thing to wear with the suit costume, as the skirt and coat combinations are now called. For morning demands the strictly tailored shirt waist is best choice, but for afternoon wear nothing can improve on the lingerie waist. It will appear at church, matinee, even in the evening. So count as a necessary part of this season's wardrobe a goodly stock of lingerie waists. What materials? Anything and everything; organdie, decree de chine, chiffon, plain net over that wash silk—and this very effective—silk batiste, silk dimity,ongee. We must repeat that the elbow is the popular sleeve, and announce that there are strong leanings towards the rather low neck. But only those with almost perfect throat can attempt the trying fashion of the round neck; the average woman will have to content herself with a sheer chemisette that will give the effect of coolness without unbecoming display of the neck. When the sleeve is long, the cuff is very deep—some one refers to it as the jester's cuff, tight-fitting and long. Although dressmakers on the other side have tried to impose on us the angular square shoulder, they have not succeeded to the extent desired. For which we may congratuate ourselves; the short shoulder would have called for tight lacing, to give the tapering waist; we may wear the medium long shoulder with satisfaction, and need not draw the waist in uncomfortably, although there certainly is a tendency towards smaller waists. We show a design having the St. Cecilia neck, collarless. It is of dardifol yellow thin stuff, the voke almost con- Pongee Now a Favored Material HERE are indications that this is to be an early season; already on the streets we see spring hats cropping out, people are buying summer stuffs. And of these stuffs none meet with the approval given the Shantung ponges, those rough, durable silks that come to us from the Flowery Kingdom. Suits and gowns are made of pongee and at the watering places there will be seen some white ponges of much style and beauty. For motor coat, traveling cloak, elaborate wrap and simple, pongee makes appeal. The design illustrated here is a blue pongee trimmed with braid of the same color. Mark the short sleeve with turned-back cuff and lace ruffle, and the small down-drooping hat. This costume would be suitable for many different kinds of social affairs, and, minus the lace, would look trim for a traveling frock. Mohair, especially in the invisible weaves, promises to be the thing for outing wear. Panama cloth, a cross between canvas and wool, is advancing rapidly in esteem. The shoes are full of summer suits made of this material. It is rather wry and of summer weight. Little silk jackets, long silk wraps, frivolous boeiers, of silk will again be fashionable, and interfere somewhat with the reign of the one-piece suit. The covert coat continues in style; there is noticeable but little change in this garment; the shoulder a trifle shorter, the bust a trifle higher, sleeves maybe a little fuller at the top. With the new style hat for spring the short veil will be more appropriate than the long wound-about one or the wide flying sort. Dots, which have been so large all winter, may continue their present size, but the prophecy is the other way. It is a little hard at present to affirm what will and what will not obtain. With the return to the close-fitting waist there returns the attempt to bring into favor the princess evening gown. The very deeply pointed Louis XV. bodice that came in early in the winter, during the summer will hold sway, even an exaggerated point in the front has been noticed at one of the best dressmaking shops. Old-fashioned organzings and silks G T cealed in embroidery, in different yellows—golden-brown silk, gold thread and a dull yellow. The long cuffs are trimmed in the same manner, the neck is finished with the embroidery, the puffs on the sleeves are very full. This waist is to accompany a suit of brown voile, the whole an exquisite harmony of browns and yellows. The other waist is of white filmy stuff, the trimming the revived bertha. The bertha nowadays is not worn low, however; if we do not adopt the squared shoulders, we have gotten away from the exaggerated droop at the top of the sleeve. Crepe de chine, which cleans easily and is a very beautiful material, is a happy selection for one of these waists. A New York designer displayed one lately of unusual attractiveness. It was of twilight blue and trimmed with embroidery of silver thread and blue silk floss. It was made on the surplice style, with a chemisette of gauze embroidered in silver, the long fitted cuffs having the same decoration. Another exquisite model was of the fashionable conch-shell pink. Two-piece negligees are shown for summer wear, petticoats and loose sacks. They are sometimes made of China silk, and challis, which is cheap and very pretty, is frequently employed in this lounging costume. The skirts do not trail, are made about two inches from the ground; both skirt and sack are much beffrilled and belaced. Thin lawns would be very suitable for hot weather wear. Color combinations are above everything artistic, the "stylish color" seems shoved in the background by really artistic sense of beauty. We mention two of the new robes on view; a simple suit of dull gray crepe de chine, with chemisette of old yellow embroidered batiste, a lingerie hat of yellow embroidery trimmed with dull red roses; a costume of brown pongee with collar, cuffs and sleeve ruffle of cream val, hat of brown corded silk. BLUE PONGEE COSTUME. have come in and add their part to the quaintness striven after. Embroidered batiste is to be used extensively, and will be liked particularly for chemisettes and deep cuffs. Hats of this material will be among the lingerie headgear which is to adorn maid and matron as perhaps never before. It seems as if each season there is less and less difference between the costume of child and grown-up. Embroidered, washable belts crest in last year, and this year show more boldness, fill counters and shelves. Linen is to be very prominent as a coat material, its vogue, of course, the midsummer days. Long linen coats are to be had, the trimming the omnipresent eyelet embroidery. Deep collars and cuffs give the plainest linen suit a pretty touch. Patience—How did the duel come off? Patrice—There wasn't any. You see each of the principals chose a girl friend for a second, but the seconds were so long dressing that the principals got tired and called the bout off—Yonkers Statesman.

HOWWEROBBED A Great Showing Made by Afro-Americans of Two Cities— Muskogee and Greater New York— Starks Reappointed — Gov. Warfield's Bad S. W. Starks has been reappointed West Virginia state librarian for a term of four years. Send in your subscription and have The Gazette delivered at your home every week by mail. At Annapolis, Md., the schools for Afro-Americans are kept open for only ten weeks in the year, while the schools for whites are kept open for ten months each year, and yet Gov. Warfield had the effrontery to say in a New York speech that the Negroes had not advanced any since the war. Some weeks ago white toughs ran an Afro-American out of North Lewisburg, O. Afterwards he caught them one at a time and gave them a sound "thrashing." A few weeks ago he was arrested for it, and rather than let him go to jail, 55 white men signed his bond for release. Our people of Muskogee, Indian Territory, have 27 groeries, seven meat markets with branch houses in Wagoner, one furniture store, 25 restaurants, two banks, seven hotels, one livery and sale stable and one jewelry store. A drug store will be opened soon. There are eight lawyers, eight physicians, several real estate companies, one employment agency, three barber shops, one electrician, three newspapers, one plumber's shop, several carpenters, brick layers and stone masons. There are many Afro-Americans in New York who are worth upward of $100,000. The five richest men of the race are James C. Thomas, William H. Smith, James Barefield, Dr. P. W. Ray, and L. S. Williams. All are worth more than $100,000. A large number of our women there are of independent means: Mrs. Lula M. Shepherd owns an apartment building at W. 13th street; Mrs. Hannah Walker has a fine residence on W. 135th, Mrs. Charles Gale owns an expensively furnished home on Penn street, Brooklyn, and in the same block Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Brooks also own two apartment houses. Mrs. Philip A. White, widow of a druggist, owns property to the assessed value of nearly $60,000. After 35 years the Peabody fund commission has been dissolved. The fund was a gift of George Peabody for the education of both white and black children of the south. Of this fund $2,600,000 and its accruements were spent judiciously for southern education and a $1,000,000 residue was left. At a recent meeting at Washingto, having, as it is said, accomplished its purpose, and this $1,000,000 was given to the college for teachers at Nashville, Penn. This college is a white school, and though the fund was originally given for the education of both white and colored people, yet all of the $1,000,000 goes exclusively to the white side—St. Louis Advance. One of the latest publications issued from the press of Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, is a transcription of native African melodies by Mr. S. Coleridge-Taylor, of London. An elaborate preface to this publication, dealing with the history of Negro music, has been written by Principal Washington. The frontispiece of the publication is a photograph of Mr. S. Coleridge-Taylor. Mr. Taylor himself has written the "Forward" to the publication, in which he deals with Negro music and its treatment in this publication. The melodies in this book, as Mr. Taylor says, are not merely engaged but, on the contrary, have been amplified, harmonized and altered in other respects to suit the purpose of this particular book. It is a book of instrumental music, and is a very unique publication—Tuskegee (Ala.) Student. We of the Anglo-Saxon race have many reasons for shame when compared with the Negro; and if we do not appreciate them, that is only another reason for shame. Note this quotation from Booker T. Washington's speech at the Tuskegee conference of Negroes on the 25th: "We want the world to know that we are the strongest and most useful race in the world." The idea of "strongest race" Mr. Washington must have borrowed from the whites. May it be an inheritance from his ancestry or from his usefulness Negro. When the white man braces of his race it is always about its strength and never of its usefulness. isn't this comparison something for the white race to be ashamed of? At any rate doesn't it suggest that a change of the subject of our greatest boasting is to be desired?—Chicago Public. MAHONING VALLEY NEWS.

A Prominent Authority on Sports Says Johnson Was Not Beaten. A Good Description of the Battle—The Referee's Unfairness—The Writer Says: "Johnson Should Have Had No Worse Than a Draw." New York City.—A prominent sporting writer has the following to say: "One of the most remarkable decisions ever given in a boxing bout in America was the one given by Referee Greggains in San Francisco, when he declared Marvin Hart, the southern heavyweight fighter, victorious over Jack Johnson, the clever Negro heavyweight, that is if the accounts from San Francisco are true. "The accounts of the battle go to show that Johnson landed easily three blows to Hart's one, that he left the ring without a mark and in condition to go on for 20 rounds more, while his antagonist, the white man, was a sight. He was battered and punched about; he was tired and he was a beaten man, but the referee liked his gameness, and he also liked Hart's forcing of the Negro for the whole 20 rounds. The decision was not just by any means, and it only goes to prove what has been stated again and again by men who ought to know, that there never yet was a fighter who made a good referee. "He has his own ideas and he will give a decision nine times out of ten the way he himself fought in the past in the ring." "The battle itself was one of the hardest ever fought in the state of California, and never was there seen an exhibition of gameness of the kind that Hart put up. It looked as if he would not last from the sound of one gong to the other, and several times he was hanging on the ropes, but he would back at Johnson a few seconds later like a tornado and would force the Negro all about the ring, despite the fact that Johnson would hand him five blows to his—Hart's—one. "His eyes were closed; he could hardly peep out from under them. His face was puffed and his body red from the glove smashes, but he would not give in. His exhibition of ability to shibari and show his a whimper soon turned to the crowd in his favor, many of whom had wagered on Johnson, but that in one way gave Greggains a license to award a battle to a loser. At the most, according to the accounts, Johnson should have had no worse than a draw. "There is not a man refereeing who is as big a sticker for giving credit to a man forcing a ring contest than I am. I have always contended that the man who leads continually is placed at a big disadvantage, that he in leading leaves himself open, must protect himself from counters, set himself and is placed, as stated, at great disadvantage. As a result, I always give him more than a shade if it comes down to an even up thing. But at the same time if the man who is leading can do nothing but lead, cannot land a one blow to his opponent's five, then things take on another look and the man who has so much, of a lead in points must get the decision, no matter how unpopular that may be." An Old Resident Gone Lockland and Wyoming, O.-Mrs. Rachel Scott, who died March 29th, was a resident of Lockland 33 years, a member of Mt. Zion church over 25 years, was highly respected, a member of club No. 4, and a very liberal giver to the church. She leaves four daughters, three sons and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

Reared and trained towork or business of some kind he takes to the pursuit of labor, and if not thus engaged {tis because thriftlessness and idleness have been begotten in many instances by bad treatment, starva- tion wages and the refusal to employ hhim where he might subserve his best Profits. It is to be regretted that there is so much thriftiessness but force of circumstances have entailed upon the Afro-American many evils quite unayoidable. His servitude and his degradation have been borne un- willingly and much of the sins now Attributed to him are incident to his present enforced condition. Despite all that may be said against the race, it cannot be in truth denied, that AL ro-Americans constitute a most. in- dustrious and hard working element of the laboring masses. Of that ele- ment We have carpenters 21,000, shoe makers 3,000, brick masons 20,000, Dlacksmiths 6,000, engineers and fre- men 10,000, barbers 20,000, farmers 687,000 carriage makers 1,000, unéer- takers 500, merchants 10,000, tailors 1,000, painters 5,000, plumbers 500, upholsters 500, dairymen 500, hatters 400, tobacconists 1,000, silversmiths 800, ginners 1,000, market men 1,000, ress makers 12,000, pharmacists 500, dentists 1,000, artists 1,000, actors 2,000, hostlers and racers 500,000, doctors 20,000, lawyere 1,000, teachers 20,000, ministers 18,000, editors 250, ‘Tiie above only proves and establishes the fact that this race is neither drones nor idiers. No people are con- tributing more to the material devel- ‘opment and progress of the country, yet none find so little encouragement. Against thousands of disadvantages we stand abreast of our opportuni ties, while we forge our way to the front. As soldiers and sailors we hold ® prominent part in the affairs of the nation and in time of conflict and ‘war, we demonstrate our loyalty and fidelity as true patriots. In the pa- tent office at Washington, the record shows 363 patents granted to Afro- Americans, one man of the race, Granville T. Woods, claiming to his credit alone, 35, Many of these pat ents now in use are preferred over others for service. It rather does appear then that while idlers and Joafers are found among all races, the Afro-American element is not only a helpful factor on railroads and steam. doats, but along all lines. The black man is pushing on the work of indus- trial enterprise and internal im- ite ae THE PROOF OF STATISTICS. Statistics are given from official authority showing the present status ‘of our people in this country, which im many respects become a matter of interest to the race in general. Nor 4s it uninteresting to those who feel any concern in the destiny of the American republic. Whatever con- cerns the individual concerns the masses, and the Afro-American as‘ a factor Is interwoven into the very being and fibre of our national life. It fs announced that the race is‘on a material decline, it being now only $,204,581 strong, including those in Porto Rico and Hawaii, while in 1890 We were more than ten million. But there are ample and significant rea sons to account for this seeming de- line. It is not that the race is dy- ing out. Our illiteracy has shrunk from §8 to 42 per cent. fully 16 per cent. less than what it was ten years ago. ‘These figures ‘afford very good reasons why the race is not as strong in numbers. But in proportion as a people become enlightened to that same extent, s0 they realize the ne- cessities and demands which are placed upon them. The Negroes of ‘America reallze that conditions are not as favorable to them as to other citizens, They well understand that sentiment does not favor them to the ‘extent of an equal citizenship. Of the “colored” people in these United States, nine.tenths of them live in ‘the south and 77 per cent. work on 746,000 farms, of which 21 per cent. are absolutely and 41 per cent. par- tially owned by Afro-Amer'cans. By means of education and wealth, they have acquired @ higher appreciation ‘of freedom and of human responsibil- ity; hence already thousands have left home and country to dwell in more Dospltable climes. The white races are quietly finding habitation in ‘america, while Afro-Americans are gradusily drifting to other quarters, The history of the world has long since demonstrated the truth of this declaration. Human nature has ever attested the Instinctive tendency of man (o relieve himself from oppres- sion and-casts, The very feeling of unrest impels’ men to seek better con- ditions, and {t is as natural for man- kind as it is for the heart to pulsate. Such will be the aspiration of Afro- Americans and of every people op- Dressed by a stronger power, and it must continue s0 to be until oppres- sion shall cease, We are, neverthe- less, a hopeful people, relying upon God for the final triumph of a just cause. With such reliance the great body of Afro-Americans will remain in America, contributing their part in preserving and perpetuating the grandest system of free government on earth, We cannot and we do not hope to become a paramount power in the affairs of the nation, but we do insist upon and demand the rights of an impartial and equal citizenship; nething more and nothing less. With- in the last 45 years, the race has in- creased more than five and a half millions, but the fact that,we are be- coming a migratory people, leaves the assurance that there is nothing in this increase to warrant the belief that the “colored” race will or has any dis- position to become dominant in the United States. The idea is prepos. terous, for the ratio of increase among the whites is largely in the excess of the former. Supremacy of one race over another {s from any view con- sidered immoral, unjust and anti- national and should not be entertain. ed. But let the masses, irrespective of races, without elbowing, and with- ‘out discrimination, unite In one com- ‘mon cause, for a common interest in jencouraging . peace, happiness and prosperity and in maintaining. the unity, the greatness and glory of the aadion: An Execilent Offer from 8.

She is a wonderful and most magnificent specimen ot womanly grace and beauty, and al- though now S8 years of age she scarcely looks to be 0, When asked by what mediums she had been able to so miccessfully preserve the attrac- veness and beauty of youth, ass Martin said, “Why it is: very simple to me and every woman, be she white or colored, yourg or old, or as ugly ‘as sin itself, ean become pretty, shape- Ay and graceful if she will only do as T advise, As a child 1 never was considered pretty, in fact I was not even thonght to be good looking, and for this very reason ever since I was a girl of 16, I have made a study of ‘such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. "In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bounteous- ly bestowed upon us, there are hun dreds of innocent mediums, which, after my tong life of study and inves: tigation, I bave been able to success fully blend and formulate into various preparations which enhance and pre~ Zerve the life and beauty of the hair jand skin, Lowe my own good looks ‘and youthful appearance to these ‘preparations which are the results of my life long work.

Rumor it that John Stanley, Jr., for years cashier at the Hollendent House barber shop, has left his job and the city. The I'Allegro club was well represented at the Lewis funeral and sent a letter to floral tribute. Members also acted as palibarkers.

Porter will open a five cent restaurant at No. 53 Quebec street on the 19th. Watch for the opening announcement in the next issue of The Gazette. Selling "stock" and "promoting" the organization of "companies" and "business enterprises" is getting to be somewhat of a fad with a certain few of our people. Be careful. Mrs. L. G. Adkins, of Central avenue, left Wednesday for a ten day visit in Altoona, Pa. While there Mrs. Adkins will attend the golden wedding anniversary of an uncle and aunt. Mr. Thomas Howard, manager and conductor of the famous People's band and concert orchestra of Columbus, was in the city Wednesday, looking after the interests of its Easter Monday night concert and ball. He called on The Gazette. The funerals of the young men Lewis and Huff, killed Sunday evening, were held Wednesday afternoon, the former from the house and the latter from Shiloh church. Revs. J. S Jackson, R. L Dickerson, E. D Dandridge, H. C. Bailey, E. S. Doan and J. Gilmer officiated. Rogers, Gee & Wills were the undertakers in charge Hon. Henry T. Eubanks, it is said says he was an uninvited, unexpected and unwelcome participant in the reorganization meeting of the Y. M. Foraker club on Monday evening. They certainly endorsed everybody but Senate. Dick and Eubanks. They even included the dead—McKinley and Hanna—it is said. The Onward Foraker club will meet officials. The date will be announced later. At this meeting the executive committee will be named, additional officers elected, various committees selected and much other routine business of importance transacted. There should be a full attendance. At the meeting of the Antioch B. Y. P. U. Mrs. Sarah Mitchel Baile read a fine paper on "The Spiritual Food of Christians." The meeting was of unusual interest. Little Lillian Field also had a well written paper. Francis Holt, president. The Home and Foreign Missionary society will meet with Mrs. Bailey, 45 Livingston street, Wednesday evening. Charged with criminally assaulting Flossie Morrison, a little girl 11 years of age, Maurice Mignard, a Frenchman, 24 years of age, who gave his address as No. 43 Eagle street, was arraigned in police court before Judge Whelan last week Thursday morning. An examination was had and he was bound over to the common pleas court. Ball was fixed at $3,000. Myers' and Clifford's Western Reserve league club) is evidently very dead, for they got together Monday night with Capt. Rhodes, Will Hunley and about nine or ten others in a room at 354 Ontario street and proceeded to "reorganize" the Young Men's Foraker club, which they allowed to die many years ago because Hanna did not like the name. Hanna is dead and his followers are being so rapidly disorganized in this community that the boys finally concluded to try to get into the "band wagon," with the result mentioned above. Good! There can't be too many Foraker clubs. The mere fact, that Hunley was elected president determined the status of the reorganized Y. M. F. club. Walter C. Wright was elected secretary. Services at St. Andrew's Sunday as follows: Holy Eucharist 8 a. m., morning prayer and special instruction at 10:30, Sunday school at 12 noon. Afternoon service and sermon at 3:20, special Lenten song service at 8 p. m. Kindergarten every Saturday in the basement of the church from 9 a. m. to 11:30 a. m. The bishop will visit St. Andrew's Wednesday evening to administer confirmation. The services will begin at 8 o'clock. Come early. In his sermon last Sunday afternoon Rev. Doan warned young men against following after the sins of the flesh and rebuked the attitude of women, married or otherwise, who encourage such young men in evil ways. In these way, he said "there was nothing but jealousy, hate, murder and hell." The People's band and orchestra of Columbus, which will give a concert and ball at the Grays' armory on Eas- ter Monday, is one of our best organizations, and comes to us with such recommendations. You will certainly enjoy a rare treat in hearing this wonderful band and in dancing "after" their fine orchestra. This is the band that has played for the last five years at the great Afro-American state fair held annually at Lexington, Ky., and was the official band at the Ohio state fair, Columbus. It has played in public park concerts for the last three years, and when we say they are first-class we mean it. The People's band and stands ready to defend the claim at all times against any similar race organization in America. Their concert and ball will prove a grant treat for all who love good music and wish to enjoy an evening in dancing. Messrs. William Rogers and Joseph Simmons were refused seats anywhere except in the gallery of the new Lyric theatre on Erie street, on the ground of their color. Dr. Jessie Dickerson and Dr. Motley's two daughters had their seat checks "switched" at the Empire theatre one evening last week, with the result that they were given inferior accommodation. This, too, was the result of colored prejudice. There is but one way to stop this sort of thing, and that is the one adopted by Rev. Bailey recently when he won his case in the court against Cole, the restaurant keeper. Just so long as our people will contend with maintaining such treatment, just so long will it continue to increase. A civil or citizen right that is worth exercising, is at least worth contending in the courts for, and those worthy of rights denied them in public places will contend for the exercising of them in the proper way. The pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson, preached an able sermon Sunday evening at Cory chapel. A fine program is being arranged for Easter afternoon and evening. The superintendent, F. W. Corbin, and his uniting assistant, W. J. Thomas, expect to make this the banner missionary day in the history of the church. They have out 50 Easter hatz and the scholars are united in their efforts to fill them. The sub-district meeting of the Epworth League and S. S. will be held in Lorain the 14th and 15th. There were 35 representatives of our people at the reception tendered Bishop Vincent by the Epworth League at the new First M. E. church. It was a treat. The Junior league reception at the reception tendered M. R. L. Dickerson, was the finest of its title in the history of the organization. It is the banner junior league of the district. A presentation speech by little 10-year-Annie Allen was very good. The present was a large bouquet of carnations and roses. The heartfelt sympathy of every mother goes out to Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Huff. That was a most distressing affair on Central avenue, Sunday evening about 9 o'clock when William Hill, 24 years of age, of 620 Sterling avenue, shot and killed Ralph Lewis and Jas. Huff, each about 22 years of age, and of 61 and 43 Forest street, respectively. The tragedy was enacted on a Central avenue car near Greenwood street, and was witnessed by many people. After shooting, Hill and his wife fled from the car. Shortly afterward however, he reported at the Central station and was locked up. It seems that there had been much bitter feeling between the three boys. Hill came here recently from Cinchinatti and was a bartender in a Bolivar street saloon. Hill and Lewis quarreled in a Central avenue pool room last week Friday night. The quarrel started, it is said, as a result of Lewis' attentions to Hill's wife. At the time both had revolvers, gave them to the proprietor, and agreed to fight it out with their fists. This, however, was prevented by the interference of other parties. Sunday night the three boys accompanied by his wife, and Lewis was with Lillian Powell. Hill went back home to get something he had forgotten, leaving his wife in the place. When he returned, he says she told him that the young men had insulted her. This caused a renewal of the quarrel. The men again agreed to fight and repaired to the yard in the rear of the place, but this time Mrs. Hill interfered and boarded her husband to leave. They boarded a car going down town, Hill standing upon the platform, while his wife seated herself inside close to the door. Lewis and Huff followed, having boarded the car just as it started and while it was going at a fair rate of speed. Hill pulled a revolver from his overcoat pocket and exclamating: "You will not board this car," fired two shots in rapid succession and with unerring aim. The first struck Lewis above the right eye and he fell from the siege of the car to the street. The second shot hit Huff between the IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

Cleveland, O., March 31, 1905. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, My Decar, Sir: My attention has just been called to an article that appeared in the issue of The Gazette of February 4 last. In it you say that I told Albert Williams that both Booker T. Washington and Charles Chesnutt satt silent at the banquet given by the Council of Sociology, notwithstanding the fact that mean and contemptible things were being said of and about colored people. In crediting me with this statement you do both Messrs. Washington and Chesnutt, a great wrong. Both gentlemen not only replied vigorously to Mr. Heron, who read the paper at that banquet, but with argument completely annihilated the statements made by him. Trusting you will publish this and set both of these gentlemen right before the readers of your paper, I remain very truly yours. PETER WITT. [Mr. Witt is in error. We did not say that he said anything. Albert Williams did that, and we simply published what Albert said Mr. Witt said. This, to the editor of The Gazette in person, too. Therefore, if anyone has done Messrs. Washington and Chesnut "a great wrong" it is Albert Williams, the individual who made the statement, and not The Gazette. We are glad to know that Albert was wrong and that the two gentlemen in question did their duty on the occasion in question. It is now up to Albert, Mr. Witt. Discipline him for talking too freely and too carelessly.—Ed.] ROBT. W. HILL. "Slim the Barber." FRANK WILLIAMS. Tonsorial Artists, 35½ Chestnut Street. CLEVELAND O. JOHN S.

Newcomb, of the District of Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics showing that 5,174,718 depositors in savings banks of six eastern states are directly interested in the joint ownership of $42,354,086 of steam railroad securities, that insurance companies doing business in Massachusetts hold $45,859,083 of steam railroad stocks and bonds, and 74 educational institutions depend on $47,468,237 invested in similar securities for a portion of their income.

CULLED COMICALITIES "Men and women are the hooks and eyes of society," remarked Miss Smith. "And they are constantly becoming unfastened," natively put in the divorcee. "A thousand stars are looking down on you this night!" said the poetical young man to the girl. And she unconsciously put her hands up to arrange the position of her hat. "She thinks her husband is one man in a thousand." "Yes; and what's more, she thinks he is not only the one in the 1,000, but that all the others are represented by the 000." "Prof. Skiggs has a wonderful mind." "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne. "When you think how hard one of his lectures is to listen to, you shudder to think of the cerebral strain it must have taken to evolve it." They were lingering in the hall. "Just one kiss, darling," he pleaded; "then I'll go." "For goodness' sake, give it to him, Maud." exclaimed a hoarse voice from the head of the stairs, "or he'll stay to breakfast." "Well," said Mrs. Oldflame, "your daughter may not be beautiful, Mr. Skadds, but she is perfectly sweet. There is something so dear about her-" "Yes, there is," growled Skadds. "I suppose you mean that ermine boa." "Why is it that a man of Bilgigins' undoubted mental capacity is no more successful?" "The difficulty is that he has so many different kinds of wisdom heaped together that he can't put his hands on the exact article he needs in an emergency." EDUCATIONAL NOTES The primary schools of Bangkok are now attended by over 10,000 pupils of both sexes. By the will of the late James C. Carter, of New York, $200,000 is bequeathed to Harvard college. Prof. Trombetti, recently appointed to the chair of Semitic philology at Bologna, was once a barber. Robert Friesen a German traveler recently returned from Ireland, says the Icelanders are the most highly-educated people in the world. Sweden and Norway are the only countries where practically every grown man can read and write. Bavaria comes next in this respect. Dr. Ludwig Boltzmann, professor of theoretical physics at the University of Vienna, will be a member of the teaching staff at the University of California summer school. The Year-Book of the German universities, just published, makes it clear that Berlin university is the most numerously attended seat of learning in the world. It contains 7,774 matriculated and 1,330 non-matriculated students. All the states of Germany, and every country in Europe, from Norway to Sichly, from Ireland to Russia, are represented in its class-roohs. Sir Oliver Lodge, in an address to teachers at Birmingham university the other evening, described arithmetic as being one of the most absurd of the complexities of pretended commerce. The terms of arithmetic were the worst things ever concocted, by a nation emerging from semi-barbarism. They were, he said, neither arithmetic, mathematics, nor common sense. Mastering them was merely wasting a child's time. CHILDREN AFFECTED By Mother's Food and Drink. Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their mother's milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food they use while nursing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother is a case in point: "I was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But I found at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added, two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, it. too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk. I have ascertained that it really dries up the milk. "So. I quit coffee, and tried tea and at last coffee. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, mind spells, pain in my heart or sour stomach. Postum had cured them. "Now we all drink Postum, from my husband to my seven-months-old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever drank." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich: There's a reason. Get the little book "The Road to Welllyca" in each pkg. DEMOCRATS WIN IN CHICAGO Judge Dunne is Elected Mayor by a Plurality of 24,000 Over Mr. Harlan. Chicago, April 5—A political tormento yesterday overwhelmed one of the most ruggedly unique leaders in the country. Incidentally, the republican party met defeat in a memorable effort to capture the mayoralty of Chicago. As a direct result the city is officially committed to the policy of the quickest possible cessation of private franchises for public utilities. Municipal ownership is especially threatening street car lines, valued high in the polluters. After winning successively four remarkable fights of independents against the regular republican party organization here, John Maynard Harlan, son of Associate Justice Harlan, of the United States supreme court, was yesterday a loser as republican candidate for mayor. The defeat is attributed to an extraordinary whirl of causes, starting with political revenge and taking in a wide sweep, embracing the most up-to-date socialism as a factor. The victor is Judge Edward F. Dunea, democrat. The candidate suffered heavily from campaign attacks charging that he was a political assassin. An upheaval among temperance advocates against Harlan undoubtedly did much to ruin his chances. One of the amusing features that is recalled as tending to center good natured feeling in Judge Dunea's behalf is his record as a father. He is the happy father of 13 children. This phase of the campaign was attended to by "Pop" Anson, who has almost equally meritorious record in family matters. Anson, the old-time hero of the baseball field, was the democratic candidate for city clerk. His popularity was being doubt a major opponent of democrats, so seemed to hugely appreciate his campaign statistics designed to prove that the democracy, at least in Chicago, are the original and only genuine opponents of race suicide. Judge Dunne was elected by a plurality of 24,248 and received a majority of 945 of all the votes cast. He also received the greatest vote ever cast in Chicago for a candidate for governor of Illinois in 1918, out of a total of 322,373. Mr. Harlan received 137,411. Collins, socialist, 20,233, and Stewart, prohibition, 2,980. John F. Smulski, republican candidate for city attorney, was re-elected by nearly 15,000 votes. The other candidates on the democratic city ticket were elected by pluralities somewhat smaller than Judge Dunne, Frederick W. Black was elected city treasurer and Adrian C. Anson city clerk. The new city council will probably be republican. THREE MEN WERE KILLED Explosion in the Cartridge Factory at Bridgeport, Pa., Caused Fire, and Bank. Bridgeport, Conn., April 5.—In a terrific explosion that blew to pieces of the brick buildings of the Union Metallic Cartridge Co. shortly before the close of the day's work Tuesday, three men were instantly killed. Great crowds gathered and in the panic that followed women fainted and made frantic efforts to get within the walls surrounding the plant, as it was reported that many lives were lost. They were held in check, however, and the employees in the other buildings made their escape. The apparent horror of the situation was increased by the breaking out of fire and the appearance of ambulances and morgue wagons, which rattled up to the factory. A few moments after the explosion occurred the fire department arrived on the scene and succeeded in checking the flames quickly. The only man in the building at the time, John Meary, was blown through the roof, with a great mass of debris, and came down dead. Two helpers, Michael Hurley and William Bayliss, working near the building, also were killed. The explosion occurred in the dry house where primer caps are dried on long steam pipes. In some manner one of the caps was discharged and the explosion followed. The foundations of every building were shaken as if by an earthquake and the explosion was felt in houses within a radius of a mile. Superintendent Ryan said that the loss to the company would be about $20,000. Negro Killed Four People. Batesville. Ark. April 5.—John Dow, a negro, went to Sulphur Rock yesterday to see his wife, who was at her father's home, and because she refused to return with him he drew a pistol and shot her dead. He then shot and killed his wife's mother and another negress. His father in-law seized the pistol and killed him, totally the latter being able to return the fire, killing his father in law.

A burglar who entered a Harlem house suffered a unique form of punishment. 13 happened, says the New York Press, that he stole a piano, then consequently ransacked it and before he had half finished his work he heard a step on the stairs. Quickly gatherup his booty, he slipped behind the piano, inadvertently made his escape as soon as opportunity offered. But opportunity did not offer, for it appeared that the step he had heard was the one he had come down to the parlor for a couple of nouns' practice before breakfast. When she had finished another daughter was standing ready to occupy the stool beginning to sit, she sat at the piano, began hearing him. But this was too much. The burglar rushed from his hiding place. "For heaven's sake have me arrested," he said. "At least there are no pianos in jail."

"I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many people," said Mrs. Gossett, "because I have seen such good results, time after time, right in my own family. There are three of us who have no doubt about their merits. We do not need to take anybody's word on the subject for our own experience has taught us how well they deserve praise. "It was just about ten years ago that I first read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and bought my first box. I was at that time all run down, weak, nervous and without ambition. I had been doctoring all summer for malaria and stomach trouble. Everybody thought I was going into consumption, as my mother had died of that disease. "Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now alive and hearty. I began to improve as soon as I began to take them, and when I had taken three boxes I was a well woman. Everyone wonders how I keep so well and am able to care for my home and six children without help, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills explain it. "My oldest girl's health began to fail when she was about fourteen. She was nervous, complained of sharp pains in her head, would get deathly sick and have to leave the school room to get fresh air to revive her. I gave some pills to her. She took only a few boxes, but they cured her troubles, and caused her to develop into a perfect picture of health. Then my husband took them for rheumatism and found that they would cure that too. So you see we have all got great good from using them, and that is why we recommend them to others." Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at Ultrichville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and is well known, as she has resided in the same neighborhood for more than thirteen years.
