THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 43. Some Late Parsian Modes Vivy Coud Good Sense Influences Fashion Good Sense Influences Fashion HAT you think of spending nine dollars for gloves to wear with these reigning elbow sleeves? Well, that is what some of the ladies with long nurses are doing. HAT do you think of spending nine dollars for gloves to wear with these reigning elbow sleeves? Well, that is what some of the ladies with long purses are doing. But it would be inexpressibly foolish for the average woman to try to indulge in such an expenditure, and, what is to the point, there is no need for her to do so. The stores offer long gloves in silk instead of the very expensive kid, very pretty, summery ones that really are more suitable to the season than the afore-mentioned high-priced. Everybody is wearing the short sleeve, but word comes from Paris that we must lengthen the short skirt, at least for more formal wear. We rebel; just as we had cut off our trains, comfortably become used to trotting along without the hampering tall over the arm, we are not going to give up the new liberty. Paris may mandate and dictate all she please. Fashion now is not so centered as once. But, in spite of this declaration of independence, it may be well to let the dressmaker have evening gowns at least touch the floor. But fight united against the long skirt for street wear. Rumor, more or less agitated, reaches our ears concerning fashion's ruling in regard to crinoline; one paper remarks emphatically that crinoline has come in sure, another that London is combating the invasion. We think it safe to prophesy that crinoline will not find many followers, that no one need worry she will be a sole opposed of the revived fashion. These scares crop up every now and then, and in the meanwhile we continue to look serpentine and slim, rather than hook-skirting. This spring skirts have fitted as close around the hips as though crinoline had never been threatened, and about the ankles, while full, there has been no obtrusive encroachment on space. And now sleeves are endeavoring to frighten fearful folk away from comfort in possession or those of any considerable size, are promising to dwindle to slight proportions. We must YNICS are apt to speak to the freaks of fashion, of her fickleness, never swell on certain good points that are salient. We illustrate: Caprice said quite awhile ago YNICS are apt to speak of the freaks of fashion, of her fickleness, never swell on certain good points that are salient. We illustrate, price said quite awhile ago that the separate waist was entirely out; fashionable ladies prove by wearing the garment that it is not at all out, that such a sensible and cleanly and convenient shape shall have a long duration. Separate waists are immensely popular, never really were banished after once lady had made their acquaintance. To be sure, we do not now like the strong contrasts that obtained when the waist was more or less of a novelty, we prefer to relate waist and skirt. While the colored shirt waist has not come into the favor we prophesied, yet there is a noticeable tendency to substitute for the white lingerie one of a color toning in with the suit; but if dark, the material must be thin, transparent stuffs are crowding heavy weaves into the background. Here is a charming color scheme recently seen. The suit, a walking costume, of heavy blue linen. The blouse worn with this was of white bobbinet over a turquoise blue silk slip; the net plainly made, with tucks for trimming. The cuffs and collar of the coat were of Cobelein blue linen, the hat, a horsehair braid in two shades of blue, trimmed with velvet ribbon in another tone of blue. A single yellow rose brought out on the blue tones pretly. Carried with this costume was a blue linen parasol mounted on a long white handle, and white shoes and stockings were worn. We may remark, by the way, that blue In Union There is Strength. say, in answer to this, that they are not so large as it seemed earlier in the season that they would be, but there is no very decided change as yet. The French like several materials in one costume, and often when a dressmaker has used a little from each of her many scrap bags in "building up" a gown, admirers are apt to exclaim "Lovely, how French!" The results are not always those across the water, where they certainly can make the most wonderful creations out of bits. For example, given some yards of taffeta, some mousselline and lace and see a charming gown like the one shown in the illustration. Careful looking after detail is also Frenchy, a Gallicism all of us, no matter how much we must economize, may indulge in this. This year it is thought proper to have the parasol in some way related to the gown; well, a few home touches and the thing is accomplished; a plain ponge may be embellished by ready-made strips of embroidery in colors matching the trimming of the gown; the lingerie parasol may be made at home for small cost; hand-painted sunshades are the height of elegance, and one may resurrect sleeping talent and a paint one's own parasol. The Louis XV. coat bespeaks Paris, and its big buttons and basques at the back are more and more in favor. Paris wears the ridiculous small hats with unconscious ease, they seem to fit in very well with the fashions of the season. Maybe it is the lack of shade afforded by these hats that makes the parasols so popular now, for we have parasols at present to match various costumes in the wardrobe. The athletic girl banished this kit of frivolity for awhile, proclaimed the virtue or hatless, unshaded head, but back again it is this summer and come many strong. But we need not emphasize luxury and foolish extravagance, when the well dressed woman to-day is the one well groomed, daintily clad, careful of dress accessories—shoes, hose, gloves, veil, hat, belt. A little attention to modes, an adherence to a few good principles of dress, and lo the right idea is reached. and white is a combination looked upon with high favor. With blue suits pale blue lawn and dimity waists are liked, and with brown tan and cream lingerie is considered to have more style than the white. But don't make the mistake in getting thick, plain-looking colored stuffs when you purchase a waist, or you will be waiting in the right 1905 touch. We are told repeatedly that LINGERIE WAIST. plain tailored waists are very much the thing for shirt waists, but we notice the frilly, effeminate affairs put the others out of joint when the two are brought close together. For the morning wear there are seen some neat plaid gingham, but they do not seem to meet with general favor. However, they are a welcome contrast to the one tone goods that have been in vogue for so long. Washable materials of all sorts and prices may be said to be in style.

Dr. Thirkield Astonishes Local White Ministers—"Shame," They Cried—Prejudice in the North as Well as South—A Hot Talk—Good! Rev. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, a little man and a secretary with Rev. M. C. B. Mason, of the American Missionary association, headquarters at Cincinnati, quickly woke things up last Monday at a meeting of the Methodist Preachers' association, in the Y. M. C. A. building. He held of the work of his schools and their Negro students in the south. He didn't think the ministers seemed much interested. "You ask no questions," he said. "That seems to indicate that you are indifferent to this great problem at your doors. This Negro problem is not for southernners alone. It's a northern problem as well, for great centers of colored population are in the north." There are 10,000 here in Cleveland. In two minutes more he had the ministers on the edges of there seats. "Do you want to know why the percentage of crime is greater among the colored people than among the whites? It's because you in the north bar Negroes from your trade unions." Shahee: cried the ministers. "You are barring them more and more of honest toil and the devil always in work for little hands. Your indifference—that's the influence of southern ideas—keeps colored people from your churches. I know of one town in Ohio where there are about 20 Christian colored people. They are too few to have a church of their own and they're unwelcome at the white churches." "Shame!" cried the ministers again. "And I ask you," the speaker said at the echo, "how many of you have said a word to encourage these colored preachers who are laboring with discouragement with us in the faith?" In answer to the following question: "Then do you think, doctor, that intermarriage of blacks and whites—amalgamation of the races—is the solution of the Negro problem?" Dr. Thirkield said: "I have no theories, no prophesies of a solution of this problem. But I have the facts of my long experience in the south. The problem is now all the time being whitened out." And to the everlasting shame and disgrace of southern white. "men," be it said. Jevs. E. D. Dandridge and H. C. Bailt (Baptists) were the only two Afro-Americans present at the meeting.

Her Splendid Paper Paved the Way For Her Election to the Vice- Presidency of Our State Asso- ciation of Physicians. Springfield, O.-At the organization, May 18 and 19, of a state association of Afro-American physicians here, Dr. Jessie C. Dickerson was the only Cleveland physician present, but Cleveland crowned herself with glory, just the same, in having such an able representative. Her paper, "When the Innocent Suffer," called forth loud praise both from the members of the profession and the laity, as it dealt with a subject that all could understand. So well pleased were the members of the profession that it was voted to have the paper published in one of the leading medical journals. Dr. Dickerson was unanimously elected vice president of the association, having the honor of being the first woman of the race to hold such a position. The officers of the association were Dr. J. W. Burton, of Springfield, president; Dr. Jessie C. Dickerson, of Cleveland, vice president; Dr. C. Gordon, of Springfield, secretary, and Dr. W. J. Woodlin, of Columbus, treasurer.

Solution of the Race Problem: Wednesday's Plain Dealer said; "Intermarriages with the whites as a solution for the race problem was discussed with considerable interest at a meeting of the Colored Minister's union yesterday morning at the Second A. M. E church on Hudson street. Although no definite measure was taken one of the ministers present made a strong plea in favor of intermarriage. It was brought out in the discussion that as far as the white ministers of Cleveland are concerned, there had never been the least suggestion of trouble from indifference or refusal to associate with the colored people. In fact it was the sense of the meeting that the white ministers had always been especially willing to preach for the colored people." Olean, N. Y. Personals.

Hiram Watty, Baltimore, Md., our only city counciiman there for years, was recently defeated for re-election by a democrat, and in a ward peopled almost entirely by Afro-Americans. ‘This ir the second time they have done this, defeating Councilman Harry Cummings and clecting a white dem- ocrat some ten years ago. Friend Watty has our sympathy. J. R. Clifford, esq., of the Martins- burg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, has our full sympathy in the distressing treat. ment recently accorded him and one of his sons by some of the white brutes of that town, They very nearly eat his child to death and caused Mr. Clifford's arrest and imprisonment in jail for about four weeks. This latter without the shadow of an excuse. The only thing that surprises us is that our friend Clifford did not kill two of the scoundrels when near enough to use his Winchester repeating shotgun, for it contained that many shots. Only his Christian forbearance _pre- vented this. His presence, however, and his shotgun had the desired effect and undoubtedly saved the life of his boy. Would that the race had more men like Editor J. R. Clifford, a con- frere we are always proud of. OUR BEST FRIEND DEAD. ‘The death of Judge Albion W. Tour- gee, consul at Bordeaux, France, has been announced. The best old friend (white) the race had, is gone from us forever! What reader and thinker that does not remember his great race-helps—books—from “A Fool's Errand” to “Pactolus Prime” as well as those wonderfully strong weekly letters in our behalf that the Chicago Inter Ocean published for years! When a student at the Central high school of Cleveland, years ago, it was in the judge's unfortunate business venture, the magazine Continent, that We first noted the ground work for an anti-lynching law, and it was to him ‘we turned in 1894 for the bill that took us three years to make Ohio's Antllynching law! While the bill was pending in the Ohio assembly the Judge came all the way from Indiana where he had gone from Mayville, N. Y¥., his home, to lecture, in order to appear before a judiciary committee of the assembly and ald in the pas- sage of the bill. ‘The house of repre. sentatives was secured and an open meeting held. How members ot both houses and the citizens, ladies and gentlemen, packed the great room and galleries to hear the distinguished jurist, soldier, author, lecturer and man who, as ever since 1861, was suf- fering with the wound which finally caused his death and which at rare intervals he would quietly refer to as having been received “while disputing the right of way with a rebel bullet during the war of the rebellion,” How often he said and wrote us: “Break ithe foe in Ohfo (pass the bill,) my na- ve state, and others will surely fol- low.” How true! How prophetle! As the judge lay dying, across the water in France last week, the governor of Minos was signing an anti-lynch- ing bill completing the work which made {t a law, that another Afro- American, Hon. E. D. Green, of Chi- cago, had , succeeded in | pushing through the assembly of that state and which, the dispatches stated, embod- es the principle of the Ohio law and is very much the same thing. The Judge always maintained that it was good law—the principle of making the county Mable—and that it was as old as English law, the foundation of ‘American law, and he was right—so the supreme court of Ohlo has re- peatedly held. The judge's efforts in Yehalf of the race extended over a period which covered his entire life, having been born May 2, 1838, in Ashtabula county, Ohlo, the heart of the “Western Reserve” and a prin. ciple northern end of the famous “un- @erground railway.” During the war he was wounded twice—at the first battle of Bull Run, and at Chicka- ‘manga—and for six months existed in that “hell on earth,” Libby prison. Im 1897 he was appointed to the posi- ton he held at the time of his death, the morning of May 21, 1905.

[mocraey, that as a party it fs hardly ‘even now showing any sign of life, "When a president like Theodore Roosevelt, a consistent. and orthodox republican, 1g welcomed with bursts and in the democratic Iroquois chit of ‘Chicago, we may well liken the pres [ent to the era of political good feeling which prevailed early in the last cen. tury.” The secretary rapidly sketched the attitude of the republican party on the currency question since 1806, referred to the Spanish war and then sald: “In the campaign of 194 the demo- cratic managers iznored the fact that it ever had been in favor of free silver and sought to make the chief issue the personality of Theodore Roose- velt. Against him they charged im. perialism, militarism, usurpation of power, violations of ‘the constitution, & dangerous foreign policy and an at. tempt to Introduce a personal govern ment.” ‘This, the secretary said, brought in review’ the action of the president in various matters which he pointed out, notably the recognition of the republic of Panama, the settlement of the an- thracite stile, the bringing of the Northern Securities suit and his Philippine policy. “It made manifest,” the secretary continued, “the consist cent attitude of Mr, Roosevelt in that he was neither a plutocrat nor a mobocrat.” ‘The secretary sald that the inter- state commerce law had accomplished much, but that inequality and injus. lice remained. Discussing the pro- posed remedial bill as It passed the house of representatives the secretary sald {t “attempts to give more power to the railroad commission, so that its orders when made shall be effective until set aside by judicial hearing, It does not as yet,” he said, “provide for a general fixing of a table of rates by the commission, but only calls for a fixing of a maximum rate upon com. plaint with respect to a specific In stance ofeinjustice. It seems a moder ate measure, calculated to give the ‘added power to the commission neces- sary to effectiveness in remedying specific wrongs in rates without cre- ating an all powerful tribunal which shall In advance take away from rall. ways the power of rate making and of clastically responding to varying con- sitions.” Secretary Taft sald that if the de. ficit continues, either our taxation on imports or our internal revenue sys- tem must be changed to meet the shortage, with every effort to cause the minimum of business disturbance. He said that an extra session of con- gress would be called to meet in the fall, to legislate in regard to the regu lation of railroad rates. Secretary Taft sald that never be. fore has the influence of the United States for good been greater than to- @ay, because It 1s known not to desire an increase of territory and because It is known that with a navy of most respectable propertions should 1 un- fortunately be engaged in such a con. filet, It is ready to protect itself, “Beople,” he continued, “are prone to say that a large navy induces bravado, pugnactty and a recklessness of peace. In one of the South Ameri. can republics we are at present en- gaged in attempting to rescue the property of American citizens from what 1s said to be an unjust confisca. tion by the sovereign under color of Judicial sanction. We have asked for arbifration and it has been refused, and /we are waiting now until congress meets before submitting the facts to it for its consideration. - Meanwhile we are exercising towards this repub- lie all the forbearance that is due to a weaker nation. And so it is with the general policy of Theodore Roosevelt, that while he insists upon earrying & ‘big stick,’ he does in fact speak softly and exercise a degree of forbearance that the confidence of strength and a righteous purpose justifies.” “We have been fortunate in having in the gubernatorial chair in Ohio in the last two years a clear headed business man who has not hesitated to cut down the appropriations pre~ sented to him in order that the credit, of the state might be preserved. He has been attacked with bitterness by gentlemen who have differed with him In respect to his course on the liquor question. If { understand the situa lion aright, to-day the Ohfo liquor law is a law which leaves to the peo- ple living in a community of resi dences the right to exclude an objec tionable saloon from close proximity to them, whether in the country or in residential parts of the city.

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, nota sample, but fa 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 ton- fes) 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 eareful study and the earnest researches of Miss Helen Martin, a beautiful and attrac. tive woman who is acknowledged the most skillful and famous beauty doc. tor of the day. Sho is a wonderful and most magnificent specimen of womanly grace and beauty, and al- though now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30, When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully preserve the attrac tiveness and beauty of youth, Miss Martin said, “Why it ts very simple to me and every Woman, be she white or colored, young or old, or as ugly as sin itself, can become pretty, shape- ly and graceful if she will only do as [advise As a child I never was considered pretty, in fact 1 was not even thought to be good looking, and for this very reason ever since I was fa girl of 16, | have made a study of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person.

It matters not’ how harsh and kinky ft may be and I care not if it be short. broken. splitting at the enas, or tailing out, Glossine wilt positively make It long, soft, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair luster, length of life and beauty, and no head of hair ean be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease and in any prevall Ing style desired. It will restore gray hair to \ts former color, make the hair grow ont on all bald spots and on tho temples where the hair {s usually thin and unsightly. Glossine is highly, sweetly and most delicately perfumed, and its color and subsist- ency 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, nu- merous tinserupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spurl ous and harmful compounds for the hair and skin, that cause the hair to fall, thus causing baldness, and ruin, mar and deface the delicate texture of the human skin. In thelr wicked desire to gain money, these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life ltself. In order to discountenance and condemn such dishonest methods Miss Martin has decided to give a full size package of Glossine to any read er of this paper, male or female, whi will send thelr name and addres: Do not delay.

The cornerstone exercises of Antioch church last Sunday afternoon drew a crowd of people that packed the church and obstructed the sidewalks and street in front of it. The program, as announced in our last issue, proved an interesting one. Over $500 were raised. The pastor, Rev. H. C. Bailey, and the members of his church are very greatly pleased and encouraged as a result. Antioch church wishes to extend its warmest thanks to the many friends and well-wishers, especially the ministers who assisted, for kind co-operation at the cornerstone service Sun afternoon. Amount raised $575,700. Beside the pastor, Rev Dr. H. C. Bailey, Revs. Dillene and Stillwell (white) pastor of the First Baptist church spoke ably and interestingly About 800 people attended the service.

Mr. Edward Daw and Henry T. Eubanks were St. Andrews' delegates. As a result of the trouble in Shiloh church "Deacon Richard Callaghan and W. T. Jones are at present out on $200 bill," says Monday's Plain Dealer: "Trouble camped 'last night in Shiloh Colored Baptist church on Sterling avenue and until nearly an hour after midnight the members talked over their many differences in anything but a calm and peaceful fashion. Meeting was called to order by the pastor, Rev. Edward D. Dandridge, with both factions present. Although at times there was considerable feeling expressed there was no definite action taken. The pastor dismissed him and with a few of his followers went home. The rest of the church members, however, refused to be dismissed and continued to talk until 12:30, when they finally adjourned. Outside the church there were three policemen to keep the peace, but they were not needed, tor there was no disturbance." Walter Brown and Albert Williams through Attorney Thomas Dunlap instituted suits under our Ohio Civil Rights' law against a restaurant keeper (white) on Sheriff Street, in the rear of the Opera House, the past week in Justice Nellis' court. Mrs. Nellie Jones did the same thing against the Lyric theatre where so many of our people have been forced to sit in the gallery, and not allowed to occupy seats on the floor of the house. This is the custom in vogue at the Empire, Keith's and, we understand, the Colonial theatre also. It is said the Cleveland theatre restricts our people to the rear portion of the floor seats and to the galleries. This leaves the Opera House and Star theatre as the only ones where it is said no discrimination on the score of color, race or religion is practiced. Since Messrs. Drew and Campbell of the theatre land (taken direct control of the Colonial, it is hoped that there is an end to the discrimination heretofore complained of at that theatre. If this be not true, there is a way to put an end to it at that theater as well as all others in the city and state of Ohio, if our people will only take the necessary legal steps, in recent weeks they have made a praiseworthy start in the courts. Keep it up! The grand jury did not indict the man, (white) charged with a heinous crime in the case of the child, an adopted daughter of Mrs. Morrison, of 088 Central avenue. It is said that Mrs. Serena Brown appeared before the grand jury in the interest of the white man who claims to be a Christian worker at the Friends' church. The editor of The Gazette has interested Revs. R. L. Dickerson, H. C. Balley, E. D. Dandridge, J. M. G mere and other pastors that the jury reopen it. Revs. Bailey and Dandridge and the editor of The Gazette held an informal and preliminary conference with assistant County Prosecutor Attorney Thomas Ross, Monday morning in the new court house and our Pastor's union took up the mat- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1905. ter later on. Mr. Ross agrees heartily with us in the opinion that that man ought to be indicted. Mignaud, or whatever the man's name may be, was charged with and, the assistant prosecutor tells us, admitted having kept the child in his room which was a very small one all night long and until eight o'clock next morning. Dr. Howard's testimony was of such a nature that it justified Mr. Ross's opinion and those of others we have heard express themselves in the case. There are a number of distressing rumors which are serving to aggravate very greatly indeed those interested and to disturb the situation. Something should be done!

Mrs. Van Scor Experiences Dangerous After-Effects from Grip and Learus Value of a Blood Remedy. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin skin, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration, and even consumption. He very told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at the base of the skull; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anemia or scatiness of blood; another had horrible headaches, was nervous and couldn't sleep; another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case relief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve-tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and thoroughness of action nothing is known that will approach it. Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that supports this claim. She says: "I had a severe attack of grip and, before I had fully recovered, rheumatism set in and tormented me for three months. I was in a badly run-down state. Soon after it began I was so lame for a week that I could hardly walk. It kept growing steadily worse and at last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't bend them, and my hands were perfectly helpless. Then the pains began to threaten my heart and thoroughly alarmed me. "While I was suffering in this way I chanced to run across a little book that told about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements in it impressed me and me to buy a box. These pills proved the very thing I needed. Improvement set in as soon as I began to take them, and it was very marked by the time I had finished the first box. Four boxes made me a well woman."

CONSUMPTION WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH All Efforts to Settle the Teamsters Strike in Chicago Result in Failure. A BATTLE IN THE STREET A Negro Non-Union Teamster Was Killed and a Bartender Was Fatally Wounded During a Riot in Which a Saloon Was Partly Demolished. Chicago, May 24. All prospects of peace in the teamsters' strike have disappeared and it will be open war from this time on. The last conference looking toward a peaceable adjustment was held last night between James B. Barry, business agent for the Express Drivers' union, and the local managers of the seven express companies. The conversation was brief and pointed. Business Agent Barry opened the negotiations by saying. "Our position is this. I want all the men reinstalled except those who have been guilty of violence. I cannot do anything different. That is what the local union wants and that is what the local officers have told me to demand. That is all I can do. The men told me they all want to go back in a body or they won't go back at all. That is the position of the union and the union officials." The reply of the representatives of the express companies was: "Our opposition to the reinstitution of the men will be the same four years from now as it is to-day. We will not take them back under any circumstances. Chicago May 22 —Rioting resulted last night at Twenty-ninth and Dearborn streets when James Gray, a negro non-union teamster, was shot dead by Harry Bernstein, the tender, during an argument over the teamster. Bernstein was mortally shot by Policeman Tinsley, colored, and 1,000 persons partly demolished a saloon into which Tinsley had taken the unconscious bartender. Chicago, May 25. - Final rejection of union teamsters' demands, especially those of the express drivers, was officially announced Wednesday by the employers, thus annulling any present settlement of the strike. The employers demand unconditional surrender. The employers sent their goods all over the city under police protection without encountering violence. The strike in the lumber yards spread with great rapidity and nearly all lumber business is at a standstill. A number of planting mills and sacks and lumber mill equipment are supplied shorten operations and by Friday will be compelled to close entirely if the supply of lumber is not largely increased. A $300,000 FIRE LOSS Crossed Wires Caused a Disastrous Blaze at Wilkesbaro, Pa. Wilkesburre, Pa., May 22.—One of the most disastrous fires that has occurred in this city in some years started at an early hour Sunday. The loss entailed will reach $300,000. The fire originated in the millinery department on the second floor of the issaul house in the Welles buildings on the public square, one of the handsomest and costliest structures in this city. When first discovered the flames were controlled by the firemen in less than an hour. A second fire broke out in the basement of the building. A careful investigation was made by electricians, who declare the fire was first caused by the crossing of two electric wires, the water used to stop the fire, and some of the wires into the basement building, where a short circuit was formed, causing a flash from a large dynamo which started the second fire. A GIRL'S CRIME. She Stole a Child and Threw It Over an Embankment. Toronto, Ont., May 22. — Josephine Carr, a 13-year-old girl, has confessed to the murder of William Murray, a nine-months-old infant. It is claimed of the Carr girl that she has been in the habit of stealing baby carriages from the front of a department store and the parents were indicted shopping. The police have recovered aerial of these carriages, which had been sold to neighbors. Last Friday the girl went to a department store and found a baby in each carriage in front of the store. She picked out the best looking baby carriage of the lot, which contained the Murray child, and made off with it. She took the child to the wood near her house, the east end of the city, and stripped it of its clothing, threw it over an embankment and caused its death. Man and Wife Drowned Benton Harbor, Mich.

It has been discovered recently that the slime or residuum from the thermal springs at the city of Baden-Baden, Germany, contains very powerful radium. Prof H. Gertel of Wolfenbuettel, Germany, says this radium is 40 times more powerful than that found in the residuum of cold-water springs or in mud baths. Work for the insane is a special study at the Villejuif asylum, Paris. Painting, carving, sketching and even tattooing are included, and recovery is often due to the employment. In other cases the condition of the patient's mind is mirrored in the work done, aiding the physician in his study of the case more than any amount of discussion or consultation. The earth's interior, instead of being fluid, is now known to be exceedingly hard and rigid. This is due to the inconceivable pressure, and Prof. T. J. . See points out that as the heat is beyond the critical temperature of every known element, the matter must be essentially a gas reduced by pressure to a hardness and rigidity possessed by no substance known to us. Authorities of the geological survey having charge of the mineral resource work for the territory in question are confident that as a result of the plans mapped out for an examination into the platinum resources of the United States that valuable metal will be found in commercial quality, in Utah. The demand for platinum continues to Increase, the present market value being $21 an ounce. Since the introduction of the incandescent gas burner a new lease of life has been given to gas undertakings, according to the chief engineer of the Manchester (England) gas works. These gas works are owned by the municipality. He says that gas hag now been placed in the front row as the cheapest illuminant. The Manchester engineer shows that electricity, light for light, is eight times dear than Manchester for light. He demonstrated that to produce a light of 1,000-candle power it would cost 3.72 cents if gas were used and 30.1 cents if electricity were the illuminant. Railroads and Progress. In his testimony before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce at Washington on May 4th, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer, of Chicago University, an expert on railroad management, made this statement: — "Let us look at what might have happened if we had heeded the protests of the farmers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the seventies when grain from the west began pouring to the Atlantic seaboard) and acted upon the doctrine which the Interstate Commerce Commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi River who could have used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have today east of the Mississippi a steel and iron producing center which is at once the marvel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built a steel and iron industry if there had been no market for its product. "We could not have in New England a great boot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing industries of the most diversified kinds, because those industries would have no market among the farmers west of the Mississippi River. "And while the progress of this country, while the development of the agricultural West of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricultural value east of the Mississippi River that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant incidentally the building up of great manufacturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things were not foreseen in the seventies. The statesmen and the public men of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the West was going to play in the industrial development of the East. And you may read the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this larva way. "The Interstate Commerce Commission never can see anything more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a production of 50 barrels a day is being crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means' the building up of farm values in that place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the industrial and manufacturing development of this country. And if we shall give to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmen, who really have been great builders of empires, who have had an imagination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of the greatest military general. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureaucrats, whose besetting sin the world over is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way, and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; that that evil is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected." THE SIGN OF THE PATCH. Mrs. Murray had advertised for a skilled gardener to work by the day in her yard, and, somewhat to her embarrassment, she was obliged to choose between two appointments. As she stood on her doorstep, questioning first one and then the other, relates Youth's Companion, she became the porch chair, the porch a short distance from the men and directly behind them, was frantically gesticulating. Youth satisfied at last that she had attracted her daughter-in-law's attention, pointed her daughter-knowingly the less prepossession of the two men; and the younger woman, supposing that her relative had some personal knowledge of the children, "Has that man ever worked for you, mother?" asked Mrs. Murray, when the two women were alone. "Has that old lady," "I never saw or heard of either of 'em until now." "Then why in the world did you choose the shorter man?" The other had a much better face. "I returned the old lady, briskly." "When you pick out a man to work in the garden you want to go by his overalls. If they are patched on the knees you want." "If the patch is on the seat, you don't." Back at Work Again.
