THE Fashion Notes By the Way THEIR DEVILTRY. HATS OF THE DAY LTHOUGH hats are so radically different in shape and manner of trimming than they have been in the memory of womankind, yet there is such a wide variety to choose from that no woman need wear an unbecoming one. Try to withstand the seductive wiles of the girl at the millinery shop, who tells you you look "too sweet for anything" in the first queer bit of headgear mounted on your locks, and patiently study and try on until you achieve something that suits your idea of becomingness. In the variety offered, we repeat, you can be suited. It cannot be said any style predominates, while there are many small turbans, there are also many medium-sized sensible hats seen; while many are tilted over the forehead to the imminent danger of sliding downhill, there are many worn at a sensible center of gravity. And, by the way, the tip-tilted are really no more foolish than those monstrosities of last season that were poised on the back of the head, set to catch every passing breeze. Some fashion wit refers to them as the sail-boat monstrosity pinned anywhere. One very pleasing style obtaining among the best dressed is that of having the vell exactly match the hat. Yesterday we saw a medium-sized chip of pale lilac trimmed with softly-shaded ribbon, and the veil the tone of the hat. It gave to the rather plain tailor costume of light gray a finish that meant style. Speaking of light-weight street dresses, we noticed a refreshing costume one hot day last week that seems worth description; it was a gray and cream checked wool of some thin material, as cool as muslin; the skirt was quite plain and short enough for comfort; the Eton coat was lined with gray safeta and a white helix; the waist was a thin white with little inserts of real Val. a gray silk Dainty Summer Evening Dress Dainty Summer Evening Dress THE design here given will doubtless be good for occasions next winter, and is dressy without being fussy. Above all, it can be cheaply gotten up. The material used is figured net made over thin white silk. The Cecelia neck is used, but it is becoming to only a few, is trying save to one with a beautiful throat. The scrawny, for some reason or other, can better stand a more decollette style, this sound neck emphasizes angularities. For her that can wear it, it is very much of a favorite. The bodice of this model is an exceptionally good one, is made of three pieces of ribbon drawn through three buckles. It gives the medium high bust and also the tapering waist. The sleeves need not be made quite so full, as there is noticed a tendency to lessen the size of this important part of the dress. It is not safe, however, to affirm that the tendency will harden into a popular fashion. The above waist is prettier and more becoming to our way of thinking when made in the cream net than in the white. One sees beautiful cream waists in the shops nowadays, so tempting it is very hard to pass them by. Some white waists are made on cream foundation, and one beautiful white volle had a straw-colored lining. The colored linings are by no means common, do not promise to be so. There is an effort being made to revive the sash, but women do not take very kindly to this style; it looks a trifle too infantile, as though the wearer were endearing to push the babyish style to an extreme. Wear as soft and fluffy waists as you like no matter what your age be, but so a little slow in the mat- F T A DAINTY WAIST belt, brought together waist and skirt. The skirt was a blue-gray chip with a very tall bandeau at the back tilting it way over the faceau; a pink rose lay at the middle point in front, just over the forehead, and two gray-blue wings stretched out either side from it. It was ultra, but the color scheme was so charmingly cool one found the whole good. A large flat hand-bag of light gray alligator skin was carried, and gray silk gloves met the elbow sleeves. What do you think of a five-piece suit? We used to have the coat and skirt of one color; then came the coat, skirt and silk waist of same color; the so-called three-piece suit. The five-piece suit suits extravagant, in a way it is economical, gives a number of changes with the single skirt; it consists of skirt, coat and shirt waist, and a taffeta long wrap for warm weather, a bolero for still warmer. Of course, for this costume, with its many possibilities, one must choose the most becoming of the less conspicuous colors; a novelty worn so often would grow very tiresome. We recommend this for anyone that is to travel and visit a good deal, the five-piece suit should provide the possessor for any emergency. Saxe blue, which is favored this season, is a beautiful shade, and harmonizes well with that old stand-by—navy blue. Saxe is neither cornflower nor turquoise, but a cross of the two; it is worn by fair and dark alike, being such a soft tone it is not a trying color. The Charlotte Corday hats have not lost vogue; most of the lingerie hats are of this model and not a few of the made-up straw braids. Fichus transform old waists into newer fashion. The fichu the latest fancy. It is exquisite made of white silk muslin for a soft white waist, and very picturesque of colored muslin. When the foundation material is one of the handsome flowered brocades. With elbow sleeves it makes a most picturesque costume, and the picture gown is the gown of the day. ter of too profuse combination of baby blue and white. Girdles of flowered ribbon are much seen in the evenings, and also at afternoon affairs. When well shaped they are very elegant, give to a plain dress a touch that transforms it into a costume of fashion. Washable hats are as much to the fore as was predicted early in the season, and none are prettier than those made of embroidery. They are trimmed simply with soft ribbon, and look charming of a summer evening, the rest of the costume correspondingly light and airy. We predict that the summer girl of 1905 will be handed down in picture and photograph because of this extremely picturesque head adornment. It is appropriate for any hour of the day, stands the fierce glare of noon, the demands of afternoon leisure, the requirements of evening costuming. Shoes match gowns as they have not done in years; of course, the average mortal will not be expected to buy half a dozen different colored slippers this summer, but she can in addition to the ordinary black or tan have one pair suitable for party wear; and we advise she decide on some one dress for dressy wear, and let the shoes carry out the key-note. Suppose gray-blue be chosen, and supposing the "best dress" be a gray-blue blouse; then buy a pair of undressed kid slippers this shade primarily for this gown; select for wash dresses ribbons of gray-blue, and to the slippers are just the thing for this costume. ELLEN OSMONDE The mere man stopped in front of a shop window. It was full of large and beautiful hats. "There," he said to the girl with him, "why don't you get one of those and be done with it? See; they are special, too; only $10." "What?" cried the girl, indignantly. Then her tone changed to one of pity. "Come away," she said; "you are but a mere man, after all. Don't you know that this is probably the most conspicuous hat window in town, and thousands of woman have already seen these hats and the prices on them? Of course they are beautiful, but I wouldn't wear one for the world. I'd be a marked woman. Any other woman can tell one as soon as she saw it, know where I got it, and just what paid for it."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Resented It. "Gerald," said the young wife, noticing how heartily he was eating, "do I cook as well as your mother did?" Gerald put up his monocle and stared at her through it. "Once for all, Agatha," he said. "I beg you will remember that although I may seem to be in reduced circumstances now. I come of an old and distinguished family. My mother was not a cook."—Chicago Tribune.

Manning, of Alexander City, Ala., Produces a Strong Argument on a Live Issue—The Constitution. Applicable to the fragrant violation of suffrage rights in the states of the south, and providing sufficient basis for procedure by the congress in relation to this condition, the following direct expressions of the constitution of the United States without doubt authorize action, and it is the prerogative of the congress to act, in the passage of laws necessary to sustain and enforce the constitution: Article IV. Sec. 2. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states. Article IV. Sec. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government. Article XIV. Sec. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Article XV. Sec. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The proposition that "the United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government" is unquestionable, and this proposition necessarily carries with it the guarantee that citizens of the United States, residing in the several states, shall have participation in the republican form of government guaranteed to every state, to the citizens of the United States in every state. The constitution, furthermore, declares "that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of the several states," and it is unmistakable in its language when it clearly declares that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." That several states of the south have enacted and enforced laws which have abridged the privileges of citizens of the United States, denying them participation "in a republican form of government," cannot be refuted. That there are suffrage conditions imposed in certain southern states affecting the declaration that "the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens of the several states" is evident and capable of proof. There are disfranchised voters, under the peculiar forms of strategy in laws of certain southern states, who, were they residents of other states of the Union, would be qualified voters. It is the plain duty of the federal government to protect each and every citizen in his sovereignty right of nationality, when encroached upon by despotic measures of a state or when state authorities fail of protection. If the federal government is without authority of laws to proceed in the premises, then the congress should enact laws which will afford the department of justice power of procedural authority. Of course, those who have uniprop control of the powers of state and have the power of perpetuating this control, having the entire machinery of government in command, will continue to insist that this question be left to the state, "which will adjust its own interior problems." Election outrages in recent years in the states of the south, together with the subsequent constitutional and legislative devices created and adopted for sinister and partisan designs, proclaim to the nation that the masses in the south, whites and blacks, are really without "a republican form of government." If let to the powers of state, from which this intolerable condition sprang, then this but encourages still greater aggression upon "a republican form of government." The question of ballot rights in the south is not to be confounded with any alleged Negro problem or race issue. This question of suffrage has nothing whatever to do with any issue, either real or imaginary, as to "social equality." Prior to the liberation of the chattel slave, and preceding the civil war, the whites of the south were told by the slave holding democracy that the freedom of the Negro would immediately result in efforts at enforcing social equality as between illiterate blacks and the whites of the south. When the white masses were appealed to upon lines of "the democratic race issue" to coerce the masses into secession and war, and now the same "social equality" race issue plea is raised that the oligarchy may exploit its constitutional forms of state government upon the people of the south.

FOR MRS. TERRELL Great and Deserved Praise From a Woman of National Reputation. Washington, D. C.-Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of the famous general, in writing of the recent meeting here of the National Council of Women (white) of the United States, said May 7 in the New York American and Journal: of the ablest addresses of the sessions of the council was that of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell on "Citizenship from a Woman's Point of View," in which she discussed problems confronting the women of her color. She is a woman of rare attainments and culture and in handling her subject displayed logic and courage, and without covering unimportant ground delivered some strong blows. She told some startling truths in a dignified and intelligent way. There was really more in her address than in any other given before the council. Barring Mrs. Terrell's address, there was no valuable suggestion or proposition made to her in the session that could be considered as in any way advancing any project for the betterment of the world."

Washington Has Our Largest Population—Interesting Statistics. Baltimore, Md.—The principal cities along the eastern border as well as all large northern cities show remarkable increase in their Negro population. According to the statistics Washington has the largest Negro population of any city in the Union, and the latest statistics show that Baltimore has a Negro population of 81,381. One twelfth of these were born before the war; 35,241 can read and write; of these there are 17,075 males and 18,166 females. That these people have newly moved in or belong to the transient population is shown by the fact that 21,623 are roomers and 5,498 are teachers. The total number of children in school, or below, the transient population is shown by the fact that 21,623 are roomers and 5,498 boarders. The total number of children in school is 10,398, about one third of the school population in actual attendance upon school. Perhaps one of the most interesting and hopeful showings is that there are 49,563 earners. Of these 19,840 are men, 21,482 are women, and 11,118 are children. These are engaged in 233 different pursuits, including 113 clerks, 38 doctors, 56 carpenters, 17 music teachers, 251 teachers and professors, 4 photographers, 1 artist and 2 draughtsmen, while there are stenographers, typewriters, lawyers, electricians, and engravers, but the number of these in the last named pursuits are not given.

A CHURCH COLOR LINE. Says the the Pathfinder: "Forty years have passed since the civil war and all agree that the country is united in the secular sense, but the spirit of toleration and forgiveness has not yet prevailed to close the breach in the churches that was produced by sectional issues." There has been for some time a movement toward the reunion of the progressive church, north and south, and a definite proposition has been made looking toward Presbyterian union. But the recognition of the Afro-American became the stumbling block as in other questions arising between the north and the south. A wild and stormy time came on when the vote was to be taken, whether colored men should be recognized and retained in that body. It was a trying moment with white men of that connection who believed in the one God as our common Father. Again professing Christian white men stood point blank at variance with the Ten Commandments, the New Testament and the teachings of Christ. Men ignored the fact that one blood God had made all men to dwell upon the earth. Very significant, too, that they should live in peace and fellowship with each other, acknowledging only the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. But the white brethren, followers of the blessed Savior, met and joined in worldly conflict against the very principles which they so vauntingly profess. A fiery wrygle entailed and the Washington presbytery voted to expel all Afro-Americans from recognition in the church and leave them to set up separate presbyteries for themselves. Great men sat in in their courts and looked on in amazement! Most starled, that in the midst of one body the church on in issue so关爱 the Christian an issue could arise, they sat in almost speechless silence, while prejudice and caste revealed the spirit of human antipathy. Supreme Court Justice Harlan pleaded against the drawing of the color line saying: "The word race is not in the constitution and it should not be in the standard of the church." But the opposition defied the pleading of the eminent judge, pressing their claims for the separation. Rev. Mr. Grimke, the learned Afro-American divine, made a strong appeal for the race and said: "Christ was not ashamed to eat with publicans and sinners and He drew no distinction among men on account of their color. He died for all races. It is not the spirit of Christ to humilate a race and ignore their manhood. Our duty is to face the issue squarely. We must hold up the standard as have all true followers, hold up the standard of the blessed Savior or sever our connection with Him." Strange, indeed, that in this advanced stage of the world we find professed Christians like heatens fighting against the very doctrine they profess. GOV. HOCH'S STIGMA. The Topeka Plaindealer gives a rather sad account of the action of Gov. Edward W. Hoch in giving his support to a "Jim Crow" school bill. All along in Kansas white and colored children enjoyed equal privileges and were admitted into the high schools of the state upon equal terms. Representative Robinett introduced a bill to separate them in the public high schools in cities of over 50,000 inhabitants. The bill was rushed through both houses of that state's assembly. Gov. Hoch claimed to be a staunch republican of the Lincoln, Sumner and Roosevelt kind. He might have voiced that bill; he might have saved Kansas from an infamy so blasting to the fair name of the state. But in the face of a solemn oath to support the constitution of the United States, the laws of Kansas and to faithfully discharge the duties of the infamy, he offers himself as a nightmare and a stumbling block to the vast evolving interests and best prospects of a great commonwealth of the mighty west. Placed at the helm of state, the more progressive and Christian element expected Gov. Hoch to maintain its honor and integrity. Politicians and tricksters might, if they would, resort to them scheming project in order to bring themselves into prominence, but a far more ennobling prominence and a lasting honor might have been gained to the man who, knowing his duty, dared to do that duty in the face of all odds. The world is fast becoming one vast school of learning. The moral and the ethics of human action are every day being made the test of individual character. The consciousness of right action is indelibly fixed in our natures, and men can no longer compromise with wrong and the devil and hope to escape the frowns and reproaches of an indignant people. The world's humanity, the manhood of the nation, and the growing sentiment of righteousness on the part of a just and brave constituency will forever despise the littleness of the man who in cowardly betrayal allowed a stigma so base and unjust to be imposed upon Kansas. Gov. Hoch could have killed the serpent and saved the state from a burning shame. But looking back upon the black clouds which to-day hang as a mighty pall over the states which have already enacted laws repulsive to the wisdom and humanity of Americans struggling to better conditions, he walked into the darkness of night and like Pilate surrendered his most sacred trust into the hands of men concerned only in asserting their selfish and ambitious designs. The plans and purposes of the democracy of Kansas were well known to the public. But the best people, Gov. Hoch to stand upon his record and prove himself loyal and true to the cause which he had long espoused. Instead of that he repudiated his obligation to his fellows, and we need not but know the truth that Gov. Hoch was secretly concerned in having the bill put through. He knew his power and most assuredly he could have defeated the measure. But what does he offer in palliation of his treachery. He says: "I have watched with increasing admiration and pride the wonderful progress made by this people since the immortal Lincoln made them free. Without yielding an lota of my conviction in reference to the race problem, with all my sympathies going out toward these struggling people and with no sympathy or patience with those who would put a straw in the way of their progress, I have come to the conclusion that under present unfortunate local conditions the best interests of black and white alike will be subserved by permitting this bill to become a law." The governor expresses profound sympathy for this struggling people, and having no sympathy for those who would place a straw in the way of their progress, yet he coolly supports his support to a measure which means proscription, degradation and humiliation to them. In thus yielding he comes to the conclusion that it is best to degrade them than to incur the displeasure of those who would oppress the Afro-American. He permits discrimination and oppression to rule rather than relieve men of their disabilities. SOME SPLENDID CONTRACTS Social Functions at the Club, Brilliant Successes, and Other Items of Interest To Prosecute Lynchers Jefferson City, Mo.—Gov. Folk deprecates the lynching of Witersham at Belmont recently. He said: "No matter how deserving of death the Negro might have been, nor how dastardly his crime, it was murder for the mob to hang him. It is just as much an offense in the eyes of the law for the mob to kill a guilty person, as for it to lynch an innocent one. The attorney general has been directed to investigate the matter and assist the prosecuting attorney of the county in bringing to justice those participating in the crime." News of Beaver Valley, Pa.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1905. THE STRIKE IS TOTTERING Belief that the Labor War in Chicago Will Soon be Ended Is Expressed by Employers and Strikers. GOMPERS ARRIVES IN THE CITY His Influence Will be Thrown in favor of Peace—Ringleaders of Strikers at Public Schools Are to be Arrested, Also the Parents of Many Pupils. Chicago, May 17.—Although no facts have as yet transpired to fully warrant the prediction, it is asserted both by members of the Employers' association and by the conservative in the ranks of the teamsters that the present strike will be called off, probably within 48 hours and certainly by the end of the week. Chief among the causes which led to the prediction of a settlement are the firm stands taken yesterday by Mayor Dunne when in conference with President Shea and officials of the local Teamsters' union, he assured them that any further spread of the strike would certainly make it necessary for him to call for troops, and the arrival of President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, who reached the city last evening. Although not possessed of executive power in the settlement of the strike, President Gompers declared that he had every hope that its end was not far distant. Immediately after leaving his train President Gompers went into conference with President Shea and the officers of the local Teamsters' union. The Employers' association and the express companies increased their scope of delivery still further yesterday. Something over 2,000 wagons were in use and business for the most part was transacted without hindrance by the company, cases of rioting which were dispersed by policemen who used their clubs in vigorous fashion. Warrants were sworn out before Judge Mack by Superintendent of Compulsory Education Bodine for the ringleaders of the "strikes" at the public schools and also for the parents of many of the pupils whose children have not returned to school. The school officials decided to put down the school "strikes" if it should be necessary to take several hundred pupils and their parents into the courts. Chicago, May 18.—It is highly probable that the next 24 hours will see the end of the teamsters' strike. Although none of the labor leaders will so acknowledge, it is generally understood that the program for calling off the strike has already been arranged. This morning a meeting will be held between the teamsters' joint council and a committee representing the Teamsters to approve the plan made plain to the teamsters that the business interests of the team owners render it imperative that the boycott should be lifted. It will be then agreed, it is said, by the team owners and the teamsters' joint council that the demands of the teamsters be submitted to arbitration. This arbitration is to concern only the Team Owners' association and the teamsters, the members of the Employers' association being in no way interested in it officially. Pending the decision of this board of arbitration the strike is to be called off and such members of the Teamsters' union as are able will secure their old situations. This will end the strike with the accession of the strike against Montgomery Ward & Co. it is expected that the trouble in this direction will die out gradually. The authorities have taken hold of the strike fever in the public schools with a firm hand and yesterday Judge Mack, of the juvenile court, sentenced one boy to the John Worthy school, which is a branch of the house of correction, and sent two to the parental school, while a fourth was released on probation.

AN OCEAN YACHT RACE BEGINS AN OCEAN YACHT RACE BEGINS Eleven Vessels Start from Sandy Hook for a Race Across the Atlantic Ocean. FOR EMPEROR WILLIAM'S CUP The American Schooner Atlantic Led the Way at the Start, with the American Yawl Ailsa Second and the German Schooner Hamburg Third. New York, May 18.—A splendid array of sailing yachts swept across a starting line at Sandy Hook lightship at 12:15 p. m. Wednesday and with the queenly American schooner Atlantic leading the way, headed out into the broad Atlantic Ocean on a race of 3,000 miles to the English coast for a $5,000 cup offered by Emperor William, of Germany. When last seen as they vanished into the mist they were strung out in a line six miles long heading southeastward and pointing as nearly as possible to a wind that was dead ahead. A quarter of a mile asterin of the Atlantic was the 90-foot American yawl Ailsa, which was having a hot brush with the German schooner Hamburg, while all three of the leaders were slowly dropping the Philadelphia schooner Hildecardle. Next was the Endymion, holder of the trans-atlantic yachting record. Almost a mile astern of the Atlantic and more than half a mile astern of the Endymion were the Thistle and Fleur De Lys. Strung out behind were the American barque Apache, the British topsail schoner Sumbeam and, five miles astern of the leader, was the American three-masted schoner Utowana. Bringing up the rear was the British clipper ship Vallahla. These two had been delayed by a bad storm. Leaden skies, low hanging mist-laden clouds and a moderate east wind were the unfavorable conditions under which the great ocean race was started. The race is notable for the variety of build and rig of the vessels taking part in it, for the great distance to be sailed and possibly severe weather that may be encountered, and from the fact that it affords a test of heavily built ocean-going craft. Yachters regard it as a move toward the substitution of a more seaworthy type of craft in international races in the place of the racing machines which have contested for the America's cup. Rarely has a more varied fleet in size, rig or type of design been assembled in one fleet to race in the same event. The stately British clipper ship Valhalla, whose towering spars spread aloft a cloud of canvass, is seven times as large as her smallest competitor. The little Yankee schooner Fleur De Lis, yet the larger ship Fleur De Lis awaits in favor of the smaller. The first vessel on cross the imaginary line at the Lizard lighthouse will win the emperor's cup and an ocean blue ribbon which in the estimation of many yachtsmen will eventually rival in importance the famed America's cup. The starters and their owners were: Schooner Atlantic, Wilson Marshall, American, 206 tons. J. T. Wagner, H. S. Redmond, American, 116 tons. Schooner Hamburg, a syndicate, German, 185 tons. Schooner Hildegarde, Edward R Coleman, American 146 tons Schooner Endymion, George A. Lauder, American, 116 tons. Schooner Fleur De Lys, Dr. L. A. Stimson, American, 86 tons. Schooner Thistle, Robert E. Tod, American, 235 tons. Topsail schooner Sunbeam, Lord Brassey, British, 227 tons. Barque Apache, Edmund Randolph, American, 307 tons. Schooner Utowana, Allison V. Armour, American, 267 tons. Ship Valhalla, Earl of Crawford, British, 648 tons. WANTS SURPLUS DIVIDED. A New Lawsuit Against the Equitable Life Awaits You. Begun by an Old Vicarian New York, May 18.—Papers in a new suit against the Equitable Life Assurance Society, based upon an entirely new phase of the insurance law, were served yesterday upon counsel for the society by Alexander S. Bacon, as counsel for Rowland D. Buford, a resident of Virginia. The suit is brought in the supreme court in this city. Mr. Buford, who is nearly 80 years old, and who has since 1871 kept up his payments upon one of the original old line policies, complains that in accumulating a large surplus over the legal requirements the Equitable is not carrying out its contracts with him. He asks the court to order the directors of the society to divide the surplus, so that he will get an "equitable" share: to cause the directors to change their policy of accumulating a surplus above what is actually required by law, and to remove the present board of directors and put others in their place unless they carry out the order of the court.

TALK IS CHEAP And Actions Speak Louder Than Words. 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, not 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 beautifying the human hair. It is the result of long 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 hair in lengthening, straightening and though now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums she have 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 sin 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 of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bountifully 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 broken, splitting at the ends, or failing out, Glossine will positively make it long, soft, straight and luxurious. It matters not how harsh, length of life and beauty, and no head of hair can be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so plant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease and in any prevailing style desired. 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 and subsistence is very attractive to all." Seeing our great success and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of honest dealing, numerous unscrupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spiros and harmful compounds for the hair, growing out, 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 Miss Martin has decided to give a full size package of Glossine to any reader of this paper, male or female, who will send their name and address.

We will also send catalogue describes in detail other toilet requisites, other toilet requisites, Address, Miss Helen Martin, care of Continental Chemical Co., 9 Governor street, Richmond, Va.

The modern tendency is to take less medicine and buy more substitutions of proper food. All physicians and food experts agree that the whole wheat grain propels food in the most healthful and nutritious form of food known. Common door losses some of the essential elements of food, other cereal health and are indigestible. EGG-O-SEE is the ideal whole wheat food. It is scientifically all-tight sanitary ovens, and its preparation returns all the elements of wheat necessary for health and strength. EGG-O-SEE is not only healthful, but it is addictive and not only nourished of all naked wheat foods. It will please the discriminating taste. There is only one way to know the real merits of EGG-O-SEE, and that is to eat it. "Hearty Everybody Eats It Now." PAINFUL SCIATICA EVERY SUFFERER WANTS THE VERY QUIOKEST OURE. Mr. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by Him with Such Remarkable Success the Dest—Cured by Five Boxes. "Men who have to do difficult and dangerous work on electric lines at any hour of day or night, can't afford to have anything the matter with their health," said Mr. Donovan. You can imagine, therefore, how much I was alarmed one winter's day in 1903, when I was seized by a pain just behind my right hip that made it difficult for me to walk home. It was so bad by the time I reached the house that I was obliged to go straight to bed." "Did that relieve you?" "No, the pain grew more severe and kept extending downward along my leg. I sent for a physician, and he soon decided that I had sciatica. In a few days the whole nerve was affected, and the least movement brought on terrible agony." "Did your condition improve under the doctor's treatment?" "Quite the contrary. At the end of two months I wasn't a bit better, and at times I feared that I would never be able to do it." "How did you get out again?" "When I was lying in bed, unable to move and wasting away in flesh, a friend visited me and told me about the wonderful cures brought about by a great blood and nerve remedy, Dr. Williams" Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try them, and I luckily had sense enough to take his advice." "Did you meud quickly?" "Yes, that was the astonishing thing. I noticed a slight improvement before I had quite finished the first box of the pills, I could get out of bed while I was on the third box, and I was entirely cured by the time I had taken five boxes." Mr. Joseph A. Donovan is living at Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and Plaistow Electric Street Railway. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the remedy to use when the blood is thin, as in anemia; or impure, as in rheumatism; or when the nerves are weak, as in neuralgia; or lifeless, as in partial paralysis; or when the body as a whole is ill-nourished, as in general debility. They are sold by all drugrists. HAVE YOU COWS? If you have cream to separate a good Cream Separator is the most profitable investment you can make. It means daily waste of time, labor and product.

An old lawyer tells, in the Brooklyn Eagle, this story of one of his experiences, years ago in cross-examination. The witness seemed to be disposed to dudge his questions. "Sir, said the lawyer, sternly, "you need not stare impressions. We want the facts. We are competent to form our own impressions. Now, sir, answer me categorically." From that time on he could get little more than "yes" and "no" out of the witness, respectively the lawyer said. "You say you live next door to the defendant?" "Yes." "To the north of him?" "No." "To the south?" "No." "Well, to the west, then?" "Yes." "Ah," said the lawyer, sarcastically, "we are likely at last to get down to the one real fact. You live to the east of him, do you?" "How is that, sir?" the astonished attorney asked. "You say you live next door to him. Yet he lives neither to the door or of you. What do you mean by that, sir?" "I thought perhaps you were competent to form the impression that we live in a fau" said the witness, calmly; "but I see you form that you he lives next door above me."

MOTHERHOOD Actual Sterility in Women Is Very Rare—Healthy Mothers and Children Make Happy Homes. MRS. MAE P. WHARRY MRS. L. C. GLOVER Many Women Have Been Benefited by Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Medicine. Truths that Strike Home Your grocer is honest and—if he cares to do so—can tell you that he knows very little about the bulk coffee he sells you. How can he know, where it originally came from, In each package of LION COFFEE you get one full pound of Pure Coffee. Insist upon getting the genuine. (Lion head on every package.) Many women long for a child to bless their homes, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E.

A woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Is she able to prepare for a healthy maternity? If expectant mothers would fortify themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for thirty years has sustained thousands of women in this condition, there would be a great decrease in miscarriages, in insecurities, and in disappointments at birth.
