THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 44. Some Pretty White Dresses THE FASHION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY SUMMER GIRLS FEW of the best of the New York shops are showing white frocks with absolutely no trimming save of self material. The fineness of the white stuffs employed needs no elaboration save what can be given by hand-tucks, a trimming in high favor just now. One very pretty graduating frock, which had style as well as daintiness, was made of fine lawn; the shirt gored at the top but full enough to allow of tucks at the waist, vertical tucks over the hips and graduated tucks trimmed the lower part of the skirt. The sleeves, not over full, reached to the elbow, where they were finished with a crushed band of liberty satin ribbon; a girdle of the same ribbon, several widths used to give the proper corselet effect, outlined the waist. Shoes and stockings were of white, and worn with this costume was a white lawn hat with brim of frilled Swiss embroidery, the trimming ribbon to match girdle and sleeve band. A bunch of orchids and maidenhair ferns was worn in the belt. size tall than the curt the wrist and on hat at the void the car, that any su The promise when decolle High elbow that h display fortune, allored More Colore doubt great freshness We dresses anplece In spite of the assertion that this season was to be marked by the strictly tailored shirt waist, simpler and more severe than had been seen for several years, we notice the preference is given for what may be called general wear to the lingerie waist. The latter is universally becoming, makes the mannish waist look too plain by contrast. Not that the other style is necessarily fussy; by no means, the better class of these waists is anything but that. We saw a waist the other day on the train that was made of fine all-over embroidery untrimmed save for tiny ruffles of lace at the neck and wrists. The stock was sewed to the waist, which was cut on the simplest lines, looked delightfully fresh because of being unornamented or any attempt at elaboration. No brooch even was worn, but a string of Roman gold beads, the beads in front as large as marbles and decreasing in Some Late Dress Accessories THE abbreviated sleeve has been finally adopted by the American woman, even to the extent of the one stopping above the elbow. The American woman is criticised for her sharp voice, has she also a sharp elbow? This much is sure, she has been rather slow—she usually is so quick to accept a new mode—to follow the Frenchwoman's lead in the matter of short sleeves. Now she has surrendered, and the wholesale dealers, as well as exclusive SHORT SLEEVE IN VOGUE. gownmakers are turning out the very short sleeve. The three-quarter, too, is to the fore, many preferring that length to either extreme. And quite pretty and becoming is this latter, made on the bishop order, but gathered into a band that is invisible; that is, the band shows only on the wrong side. This fullness coming directly against the arm is softening, relieves angularity. A T size tilt at the back they were no larger than penn. It was a very smart toilet, the cuffs fitting smoothly to the elbow, the waist smooth at back and sides and only slightly bloued in front, the hat a flowered affair the same blue as the voile skirt. It was a costume that did not seem out of place in the dining car, that would look well for almost any summer occasion. The square neck is the cut that promises to be a summer feature, and when it appears in the day time the decollette is filled filled in with net. High neck is de rigueur for daylight, although bare arms are allowable, the elbow sleeve is worn by every woman that has a lower arm which admits of display. Lace mitts and gloves fortunately for the economically inclined, will be good form this summer, more in favor than the warmer kid. Colored gloves are shown, but it is doubtful if they will obtain to any great degree, they so soon lose their freshness. We read of those "simple white dresses" that cost from $200 to $200 apiece, and such are shown and purchased in the cities; at a fraction of the expense they can be made by the home dressmaker, and while the handwork will not be so elaborate, take so many hours of eye-destroying labor, yet the whole effect will be quite as good. Very fine dotted Swisses with the addition of some fine embroidery makes a durable and attractive waist, if cut after a good pattern and well fitted to the figure. Other materials suitable for the white costume are volle, batiste mull and linen. Very tall women generally desire enough trimming on waist and skirt to lessen the apparent height. For these (but never to be followed by the stout and short) are good models that show crosswise ruffles and bands both on upper and lower garment. For the woman with small hips shirring may be used at the belt, it gives ample sweep, a certain dignity, that otherwise might be lacking. When one has a pretty rounded arm—it need not be so plump—the sleeve finished with a band above the elbow is smart and becoming. It is a good idea for a dressy waist to have a finish of ribbon and a perky bow at the back, but this is not necessary. For her of the sharp elbows, the kindly deep frills will have to be employed with the above-elbow sleeve. Undersleeves are more and more in favor, and though getting quite common, we prophesy the fashion will prevail among the fashionables for some time to come. One sees so many chemisettes that are ill-fitting and humpy one fears this pretty fashion may soon wane, although it is to be hoped not, that the charming accessory will not be pushed from place by poor imitation. The trouble seems to be in getting the collar to fit well, in keeping the lower part from bunching on all sides. Nothing is prettier than a well disciplined chemisette, nothing less trim than a bunching one. To go back to short sleeves, the one that is a mere puff stops short on the upper arm, is found less trying to the thin woman than the just above the elbow kind, for the upper arm is less angular than the lower. And the single full puff at the shoulder be added breadth, matter to be taken into account by the very slender. Short, wrinkled sleeves are becoming to the slender woman, and not a few of these are seen, with the Louis bodices that have the tight burs and sharply pointed bodice. While all sorts of belts are worn, even across the water, in Paris there is noticed a tendency to narrow styles: this is a move in the right direction, the waist line should not be made prominent. ELLEN OSMONDE CLEVELAND O., SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1905. DOES NOT DEGRADE Mixed Race Not Degenerate. Deficient or Decadent. Says an Authority. Rape Provoked by Lynching—The South's Double Standard of Morals—An English Colonial Official Talks Interestingly and Truthfully. From the New York Evening Post. Mr. Sydney Olivier, an English Colonial official, who has for three periods been acting governor of Jamaica, has contributed to the International Quarterly a remarkable article on the race question in this country. In writing of "The White Man's Burden at Home," he has the obvious advantage of being a trained foreign observer, free from the prejudices and passions which are apt to beset those who treat at close range the racial relations in America. But Mr. Oliver has not been content to get his opinions about the attitude of the whites towards the blacks in the United States from books or newspapers. On several occasions he has studied the question on the spot, impelled not merely by a personal interest, but by his duty as a colonial official, to watch recent developments affecting the colored people. Mr. Olivier does not hesitate to say that on these visits he has found himself "unable to account for an attitude of mind toward the race question which impressed one as superstitious if not hysterical, and which would appear from the tone of the southern press to prevail widely in America." This is not because there is no race prejudice or hostility towards black people in Jamaica. But such antagonism as appears is unquestionably diminishing, so Mr. Olivier reports. Moreover, a Jamaican of mixed race is not debarred from occupying any position in the social life of the island, including the public service, for which he is qualified. Although the Negroes and mixed blood are in the majority, it has never been necessary to defend race purity by forcing the individual Negro of merit or the race as a whole into an inferior position. Colored men are landowners, elergers, doctors and lawyers, all colored men are registrars and all colored men magistrates in their parishes. The majority of the Negroes are peasant proprietors or employees on sugar plantation. Those who rise to high position "associate with the white residents on precisely the same terms as persons of pure European extraction." Now, according to the theory prevalent in the southern states, this condition of affairs should have but one result—the decadence of the white race. This has not been the case. While there has been and is intermarriage especially between the colonists of Irish, Dutch or German origin and Negroes, as also between croes and wo, men of pure European blood, this former governor of Jamaica has been "unintermarried" with the Negroes, has resulted from their intermarriage. I should rather say the contrary. "What is still more important, Mr. Olivier does not find that "social and professional equality between the two races when resulting from compatibility of temperament and interests, conduces necessarily or strongly to a likelihood of intermarriage." Among the white creoles in Jamaica and other colonies there is a strong repugnance to intermarriage with darker peoples. But as to the mixed race being necessarily "degenerate, deficient and decadent, both in physique and morals," Mr. Olivier says, "we want to the West Indies for the first time under the prejudice of this common theory, he has found it impossible to sustain this view after studying the question in Jamaica, Honduras, the Leeward Islands and elsewhere. Mr. Olivier has even less sympathy with those who would countenance social injustice in order to prevent social equality. As an administrator familiar with judicial statistics, he finds that assaults by black or colored men on white women are practically unknown. The only terrors of Jamaican highways are the white runaways from European vessels. Women and children often live for months on plantations and white people, preoccupied by colored people. There have been, Mr. Olivier reports, "no savage punishments here, nor terrorism, no illegal discriminations against the colored." And he adds significantly, that in his opinion the propensity to the assaults most dreaded by whites south of Mason and Dixon's line seems to him to be stimulated by the very attitude of the whites. He agrees with many psychologists in affirming that there is maintained "a constant storm of suggestion to the most imaginative and uncontrollable of passions in an authoritarian right here. Mr. Olivier is unkind enough to put his finger on the weakest spot in the whole southern attitude." When a class," he says, "makes the preposterous and self-damnatory announcement to another, whose women it has continually made the mothers of its own offspring, that it is of an inferior order, there immediately is aroused all the self-assertiveness of the human claim to equality which is as fundamental in the African as in any other race." Evidently, Mr. Olivier has been in the south and has leveled with amazement that double standard of which in most circles makes it perform to disregard the purity of the Negro race while prating vehemently about the need of defending, at any cost, the purity of the women of the white race. On this point the saddest testimony has come from southern whites themselves. On the political side of the Negro problem Mr. Olivier feels that the bestowal of suffrage upon the newly emancinated slaves was a mistake. GAZETTE. and resulted naturally in efforts to cut down the Negro electorate "by methods constitutionally-indefensible and unjust." But the resulting conditions fill him with alarm. The holding of their positions by the whites by means of unjust devices gives the Negro race "a permanent plea of injustice," results in a situation "demoralizing in the extreme." He is even well enough versed in our affairs to see that in oration his position the minority is "admitted inly inferiorly to blacken the character of the colored majority and depreciate their abilities by all kinds of misrepresentations." A truer word was never said on this point. The resulting situation, as Mr. Olivier sees, stimulates hysteries, which vent themselves in "outbursts of lust of blood and torture," and result "in social terrorism and obscurantism." Finally, Mr. Olivier's opinion that the pressure of this terrorism is so great that "same men in America keep silence, or at best half silence, in their minds," which appears to be developing national danger; constitutes a serious warning to be taken to heart by all who believe in the continuance of truly democratic institutions.

Afro-American women of San Antonio, Texas, presented President Roosevelt with a beautiful silver, gold inlaid loving cup, suitably inscribed when he was in that city recently.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. There is not a town in Ohio with any considerable number of Afro-Americans that should not hold a Tourgee memorial meeting. Our people of Chicago did this promptly. The recent Japanese-Russian naval battle, May 27, showed clearly that the latter were as unskilled as the former were skilled in the use of guns, ships, etc. This explains the result. Of course there are other causes but they are minor. Before the National Afro-American Council was "Booker Washingtonized" two or three years ago, it was sustaining a case in the United States supreme court through Attorneys Pillsbury, of Massachusetts; Birney, of Washington, D.C.; and Romaine, of New Orleans, to test the constitutionality of the disfranchisement amendment to the constitution of Louisiana. Since the unfortunate change of control in the council we have not heard a word of this test case. Will President W. H. Stewart or the chairman of the council's executive committee, Bishop Alexander Walters, tell us what has become of it? The early union of the northern and southern Presbyterian churches and the consequent turningadrift by the former of its Afro-American membership, in compliance with the demand of the latter, moves Bishop McCabe, of the Methodist church, to advocate the union of his connection with the southern Methodist church. The price to be paid will be the same as in the case of the northern Presbyterian church—the elimination of its Afro-American membership. Thus does "Christianity" in northern churches "move on." What a parody on the true religion of Jesus Christ! J. E. Bruce (Bruce-Grit) sneers at the charge of funkism because Charles W. Anderson "drafted the New York civil rights bill, put it through the legislature and personally tested it."-Boston Guardian. The New York civil rights law is a perfect copy of our Ohio civil rights law with one slight change. We well remember sending at his request to Mr. Anderson, years ago, and before the enaction of the New York law, a copy of our Ohio law. However, he deserves full credit for securing a Mr. Malby, a member of the New York assembly at the time, to introduce and pass the bill. Mr. Anderson's efforts were unquestionably the foundation upon which the enaction of the bill into law was built. He also is entitled to full credit for "personally testing it." If what Mr. Bruce writes is true, and we presume it is. In his Decoration day speech at "Arlington," the national cemetery near Washington, D. C., Senator Joseph B. Foraker said among other things: "Time, patience, patriotism and the education of experience may be necessary to practically and in reality secure to the black man, everywhere, all his legal rights and privileges, but his mental and moral growth give the highest assurance that he will eventually vindicate the statesmanship that made him a freeman and a citizen of the republic; while his loyalty and herolism as shown in every war in which we have allowed him to participate will win for him a triumph over all the prejudices that stand between him and the door of hope." "A chunk of wisdom." The senator is right as usual, and it will pay our readers to cut out and file away the above paragraph of Senator Foraker's speech. It states the case concisely and correctly. OUR BEST FRIEND DEAD. The death of Judge Albien W. Tourgee, 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 Anti-Lynching 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 aid in the passage of the bill. The house of representatives was secured and an open meeting held. How members of 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 suffering 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 to "Break the ice in Ohio (pass the bill,) my native state, and others will surely follow." How true! How prophetic! As the judge lay dying, across the water in France last week, the governor of Illinois was signing an anti-lynching bill completing the work which made it a law, that another Afro-American, Hon. E. D. Green, of Chicago, had succeeded in pushing through the assembly of state and which, the dispatches stated, embodies 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 liable—and that it was as old as English law, the foundation of American law, and he was right—so the supreme court of Ohio has repeatedly held. The judge's efforts in behalf of the race extended over a period which covered his entire life, having been born May 2, 1838, in Ashtabula county, Ohio, the heart of the "Western Reserve" and a principle northern end of the famous "underground railway." During the war he was wounded twice—at the first battle of Bull Run, and at Chickamauga—and for six months existed in that "hell on earth," Libby prison. In 1897 he was appointed to the position he held at the time of his death, the morning of May 21, 1905. Dear, good old friend, resquescat in pace. His family have our sincerest, heart-felt sympathy in their great bereavement. DANCES GALORE! The Out-of-Town Guests -- Suppers Galerie-- University-- Personal, Club University-- Wheeling, W.

THE LATTER WAS CAPTURED Togo in a Report to His Government Says that 22 of the Enemy's Ships Were Either Destroyed or Captured During the Battle in the Straits of Korea. Washington, May 31.—The latest official Japanese report on the great naval battle in the Korean Straits Saturday and Sunday is made in a cablegram received last night by the Japanese legation here from the foreign office at Tokio, conveying Admiral Togo's dispatches up to Tuesday afternoon. The report says that Admiral Rojestvensky and another admiral and staff officers were taken prisoners on the sinking of Rojestvensky's flagship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, Saturday night south of Urleng Island, off the Korean coast. The total number of ships lost to the Russians according to Admiral Togo now reaches 22 and he adds that, although the full particulars are not yet in, none of the Japanese ships was seriously injured and the loss to the first division of the Japanese fleet was over. The report says that the armored cruiser Dmitri Donskoi ran aground on Urleung Island; that the battleships Oslabya and Navarin were sunk; that the battleship Sseltel Vikley went to the bottom Sunday morning; that the coast defense ship Admiral Oushakoff was sunk after a vigorous pursuit, her crew being rescued; and gives other details as to vessels sunk or disabled. The Japanese Admiral, Misu, was slightly wounded. The protected cruiser Almaz, which has already arrived at Vladivostok, is referred to in the report as "suspected to have sunk." Tokyo, May 31—The captured Russians Orel arrived at the Mazurz navy yard Tuesday. The battleships Nikolai I. and Admiral Senlavin and the coast defense ironclad Admiral Apraxine have reached Sasebo. Little hope for the Russians can be found in the latest dispatches regarding the naval battle off Tsu Island. Only four of the vessels of Rojestvensky's fleet are known to have reached Vladivostok, the cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat destroyers Grozy, Brava and Terosilayo. The full extent of the Russian casualties in men and officers drowned, wounded or captured is not yet known. The Japanese losses, as reported from Tokio, are only three torpedo boats sunk, three officers killed and one officer wounded. Not one of the big fighting ships of the Japanese navy was lost. It is now definitely known that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky is captured. He is in a hospital at Sasebo, seriously wounded, but it is stated will recover. Interest now turns to the situation in Russia as the result of the naval disaster. The emperor on Wednesday summoned to the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo all the members of the imperial family and later called into extraordinary council Admiral Alexieff and all his ministers of state and a series of conferences took place as to the course to be pursued. The result of these conferences is in doubt, the ministers on returning to St. Petersburg observing a cautious reticence as to what took place. It is believed, however, that the emperor is determined on a prosecution of the war, the government fearing the effects of the disaster on the Russian people. Disastrous Floods. El Paso, Tex., May 29.—A half million dollars is a conservative estimate of the damage done by the overflow of the Rio Grande north of El Paso in the Mesilla valley. Some 7,000 acres of farm lands are under water, crops and farm machinery have been lost and all houses in the path of the waters are washed away. The water in most places is six feet deep. Every house has been washed away and the people fed to El Paso. One family at Anthony was caught in the flood and was two days and nights without food. Refused to Allow Sunday Ball Playing. Refused to Allow Sunday Ball Playings New York, May 29.—As a result of the opinion recently rendered by the corporation counsel against Sunday ball playing in New York, the police refused to permit any games to be played yesterday in the various parks in Bronx borough and on the grounds of the Catholic protectory and St. John's college, Fordham. Ex-Gov. Wilson Dies. Charleston, W. Va., May 23—Ex- Gov. E. W. Wilson, of West Virginia, died Sunday after suffering a year from tuberculosis. The army in Manchuria is not yet aware of the disaster to the navy and, the dispatches say, is still praying for victory. The Russian press, with few exceptions, is openly indignant and is attacking the bureaucracy, one paper saying that "those gullity of the Russian defeat should be overwhelmed with shame." Admiral Voelkersam is supposed to have perished. St. Petersburg, June 1.—The admiral denies the report that the cruiser Vladimir Vladivokh squadron, was sunk with nearly 800 men on board. A message was received from Capt. Brousskoff, her commander, Tuesday night, which it was believed was sent by wireless telegraphy to Vladivostok. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who was reported to be on board the Gromobol, is in St. Petersburg. Tokyo, June 1.—Admiral Tego telegraphy Tuesday said: "The naval battle fought from the afternoon of May 27 to May 29 in the vicinity of Orlengue Island is called the battle of the Sea of Japan." Admiral Togo also reports that Vice Admiral Enquist was captured with Admiral Rojestvensky. The Russian prisoners, Admiral Togo says, will ex- DURHAM SURRENDERS. He Announces that No Opposition Will be Betted Heaver's Appointments. Philadelphia, May 30—State Insurance Commission Israel W. Durham, leader of the republican organization in Philadelphia for the last ten years and whose influence reached far into the interior of Pennsylvania, late Monday afternoon unconditionally surrendered to Mayor John Weaver, who opened the war on the organization last Tuesday. Monday forenoon Mr. Durham sent for the ward leaders, nearly all of whom responded and pledged their fealty to the organization, and it looked as though the fight would be a long one. Shortly after this meeting, however, William S. Vare, recorder of deeds, a close political friend of Durham, called upon the mayor and assured him that he and his brother, State Senator George A. Vare, would stand by him. The four brothers hold large city contracts. Mr. Durham sent for some of the ward leaders and after the conference he released them from the pledges to stand by him and made the following announcement: "I have advised my friends not to oppose the confirmation of Mr. Acker and Col. Potter and directors if their are sent to select council by the mayor. WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH. All Efforts to Settle the Teamsters Strike in Ohio Result in Fallout Chicago, May 27. - Rioting broke out afresh yesterday in the teamsters' strike. Although nobody was seriously hurt there were a number of vicious fights in the lumber yards during which the police were compelled to use their clubs and, in one instance, revolvers, to disperse the crowds. The worst fight in the lumber yards occurred at West Twenty-second street and Ashland avenue, where a crowd of men and boys had all through the morning hurled stones and clubs at every passing lumber wagon. Finally a wagon on which Policeman was a passenger came along and the man fled, with the usual volley of stones. They also thwarted to attack the driver and the situation was so serious that the officer, drawing a revolver, fired six shots at the crowd, which fled in confusion. No one was hurt. Errors in the New School Code. Columbus, O., June 1.—Two errors in the new school code were discovered by the supreme court in working over the Coshcton county school cases of Fulke et al. vs. Wright and Scott vs. McCullough, which were decided Wednesday. There is nothing in the code to show when it was intended to go into effect and it does not repeal any of the old school laws. The court ruled that the repealing clause is stopped short of completion and the words "Be and the same are hereby repealed" are absent from the code. Bank Messenger was Held Up. New York, June 1.—Four daring robbers held up Charles Keuhn, a messenger of the Yorkville bank, of this city, in a crowded business section at Houston and Hudson streets yesterday, choked him and robbed him of an empty bag.

Rogers, condemned to death for the murder of her husband. 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 world by being the most mysterious known 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 wonderly and most magnificent specimen of womanly grace and beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums she 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 she himself, can become pretty, shaped and as beautiful as she is." 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 bestowed upon us, there are hundreds of innocent mediums, which, after my long life of study and investigation, I have been able to successfully blend and formulate into various preparations which enhance and preserve the life and beauty of the hair and skin. I owe my own good looks and youthful appearance to these preparations which are the results of my life long work. As to Glossine I have never known it to fall to cause the hair to grow long, straight, soft and full, and to prepare the hair to harsh and kinky it may be and I care not if it be short, broken, splitting at the ends, or falling out, Glossine will positively make it long, soft, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair luster, length of life and beauty, and no head of hair can be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant 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 soft and shiny, and on the temples, where the hair is usually thin and unshady. 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 spurious and harmful compounds for the hair and skin, that cause the hair to fall, thus causing baldness, and mar, 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, Martin has devised to give a full size shirt that can be worn on the back of this paper, male or female, who will send their name and address. Do not delay. Write today. A postal card will do. We will also send our catalogue which describes in detail our hair tones, face bleachers and other toilet requisites. Address, Miss Helen Martin, care of Continental Chemical Co., 9 Governor street, Richmond, Virginia. Tell all of your friends to write me and also send them a box of Gloasse free.

C., correspondent of a local daily paper had the following in it on Thursday morning: "Charges have been filed against John P. Green, the colored lawyer of Cleveland, who is United States stamp agent at $2,500 a year. The papers in the case, including the charges and the reply of Green, will be placed before Postmaster General Cortelyou tomorrow. He is expected to take action on three days, least two candidates from Green's place already reported. The charges relate to difficulties Green is said to have become involved in through trouble of a domestic nature. They constitute no reflection on either his integrity or his efficiency in office. Green complains to his friends that unfair methods have been used against him in the investigation now concluded by postal inspectors; that outlawed matters have dragged in old charges that President McKinley ignored when they were brought to his attention, and that generally his case has apparently been conducted with a view of the future from a standpoint of justice."

Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters. Her first letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: “I have been a sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated from painful menstruation—the pains were excruciating, with inflammation and ulceration of the limb. The doctor says I must have an operation for cannot live. I do not want to submit to an operation if I can possibly avoid it. Please help me.”-Mrs. Mary Dimmick, Washington, D.C. Her second letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: “You will remember my condition when I last wrote you, and that the doctor said I must have an operation or I could not live. I received your kind letter and followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely well. As my case was so serious it seems a miracle that I am cured. I know that I owe not only my health but my life to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your advice. I can walk miles without an ache or a pain. I have every suffering woman would read this letter and realize what you can do for them.”-Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D.C.

A Former Victim of Locomotor Ataxia Now Free from Suffering and Actively at Work. "Yes," said Mr. Watkins to a reporter, "it is true that I have been cured of ataxia by Dr. Wilhams' Pink Fills." "Are you sure you had locomotor ataxia?" "The doctors themselves told me so. Besides I recognized the symptoms." "What were they?" "Well, the first indications were a stiffness about the knee joints that came on about four years ago. A few months after that appeared, my walk got to be uncertain, shaky-like. I lost confidence in my power to control the movements of my legs. Once, when I was in the cellar, I started to pick up two scissors of coal, and my legs gave way suddenly, and I tumbled all in a heap in a basket. I couldn't close my eyes and keep my balance to save my life. Then I had fearful pains over my whole body and I lost control over my kidneys and my bowels." "How about your general health?" "Sometimes I was so weak that I had to keep my bed and my weight fell off twenty pounds. Things looked pretty bad for me until I ran across a young man who had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and who advised me to try them." "Did these pills help you right away?" "I didn't see much improvement until I had used six boxes. The first benefit I noticed was a better circulation and a picking up in strength and weight. I gradually got confidence in my ability to direct the movements of my legs, and in the course of seven or eight months all the troubles had disappeared." "Do you regard yourself as entirely well now?" "I do the work of a well man at any rite. I can close my eyes and stand up all right and move about the same as other men. The pains are all gone except an occasional twitch in the calves of my legs." Mr. James H. Watkins resides at No. 73 Westerloo Lake, Albany, N.Y. Dr. Williams of Oak Pills can be obtained at any store. They should be used as soon as the first signs of locomotor ataxia appear in a peculiar numbness of the foot.

Most notable in his speech was an expression of his hope that as the nation increased in strength there would come a corresponding increase in its sense of responsibility which should prevent its people from either injuring or insulting other people; his declaration that the surest way for a nation to invite disaster is to be opulent, aggressive and unarmed. Significant, in the light of recent events, was his assertion that: "If our navy is good enough we have a long career of peace and prosperity before us, and the only likelihood of trouble ever coming to us as a nation will arise if we let our navy become too small or inefficient. A first class class will be able to all first class in point of efficiency and the individual unit as units in combination are the surest and cheapest guarantee of peace. I should think that any man looking at what has happened abroad and in our own history during the past few years must indeed be blind if he cannot read that lesson clearly." The president arrived in Jersey City at 7:08 a.m. and was met by a president of President Gunnison, of the Union League club, W. E. Pulsifer and ex-Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn. The party immediately boarded a ferry boat for Brooklyn and were landed at the foot of Fulton street, Brooklyn. There the party was met by Troop C and escorted to the Union League club. Along the route flags were flying and thousands of people lined the streets. Mr. Roosevelt was constantly acknowledging the enthusiastic reception tendered him. Breakfast was served to a party of 100 at the club, after which there was a brief reception. Leaving the Union League club the president proceeded between cheering lines of people to the plaza where the great bronze statue of Gen. Slocum, by Mayor McClellan, unveiled. Two great banners facing the statue filled with people. The arrival of the presidential party was signalled by the firing of a salute of 21 guns. Mayor McClellan greeted the president. The exercises at the unveiling began with an invocation by Right Rev. Bishop Burgess, Episcopal bishop of Long Island. The statue of Gen. Slocum was unvelled by Gertrude Slocum, the 17-year-old granddaughter of Gen. Slocum. The presentation of the statue was made by Park Commissioner Ken O'Neill, offered the statue to Mayor McClellan. In accepting the statue Mayor McClellan made reference to President Roosevelt's service as a soldier and said that it was fitting that the chief magistrate of the country, "himself a gallant soldier," should be present at the unveiling of a statue to one of the nation's greatest heroes. The crowds rose and stood bareheaded while the band played "The Star of the Night" after the mayor had concluded his speech. As the last note of the hymn died away the president began his address. After the address Bishop McDonnell delivered the benediction and the president and party walked across the street to the reviewing stand. There the president, the mayor and other officials reviewed the Grand Army parade and then the president made a hurried dash to the naval Young Men's Christian School. A rapid inspection of the building, the gift of Miss Helen M. Gould, was made and then the president delivered a 20-minute address. STEAMSHIP ASHORE. The French Boat Pro Patria is Wrecked on the Coast of Cape Breton. Forchu, C. B., May 31.—The French steamer Pro Patria is ashore off this port in a dangerous position, with her holds full of water. The passengers and crew have been landed safely. The Pro Patria, which was bound from St Pierre, Miquelon, for Halifax, with mail and passengers and a small cargo, lost her bearings Monday during a dense fog and ran out of her course 25 miles. The fog continued during the evening and when off Bear Cove, a mile from this village, the vessel struck bottom. A moderate sea was running and a hole was knocked in the hull of the vessel. Decorated the Graves of 14,000 Men. Chattanooga. Tenn. May 31.—The graves of 14,000 Union soldiers buried in the National cemetery here were decorated yesterday. A feature of the exercises was the presentation of a stand of colors by the citizens of Chattanooga to the Seventh cavalry, located at Fort Fortgeorghorpe. An Ancient Jockey Drove the Winner.

Miners' Monument Is Dedicated. Pittsburgh, May 31—In memory of the Harwick mine disaster of over one year ago, in which 189 men were killed, about 2,000 miners gathered at the Springdale cemetery Tuesday to witness the dedication of a magnificent monument, donated by the miners of western Pennsylvania. Strike Is Spreading. Lodz, Russian Paland, May 31. — The strike here is extending. About 35,000 workmen are now out. A police sergeant was shot and killed in the street Just Discrimination in Railway Rates All railroad men qualified to speak on the subject in a responsible way are likely to agree with President Samuel Spencer, of the Southern railway, when he says: "There is no division of opinion as to the desirability of stopping all secret or unjustly discriminatory devices and practices of whatsoever character." Mr. Spencer, in speaking of "unjustly discriminatory" rates and devices, makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. There may be discrimination in freight rates which is just, reasonable and imperatively required by the complex commercial and geographical conditions with which expert rate makers have to deal. To abolish such open and honest discrimination might palate the industries of cities, states and whole sections of our national territory. CHANGE IN THE CABINET. Secretary of the Navy Morton is to be Succeeded by Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore. Washington, June 1—President Roosevelt yesterday authorized the announcement that Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, would be appoint- tary of the navy to succeed Paul Morton, who earlier in the day stated he would retire on July 1. The president also authorized the statement that no other change in the personnel of the cabinet was likely to occur in the near future. Secretary Shaw already has indicated his inten- tion of retiring from the cabinet, prob-ably next February. Rumors of the retirement of Attorney General Moody have been published, but it is under- to be his intention now to con- GOT AN EXCUSE TO TALK.

"I was in a Long Island village last summer," said a New York lawyer, acco- rding to the Cleland poster, "when a Bate- tiful came tearing along, and just in front of the office it struck and killed a big hog belonging to a vil- lager who was leaning over his gate at the time.

"Yes, I suppose so, but I don't think I shall fool with the case. "Don't you think the hog is worth going to law about, ch?" "He was a fine hog, and I ought to be paid for him, but me and the old This distinction between just and unjust discrimination is clearly recognized in the conclusions of the International Railway Congress, published yesterday: "Tariffs should be based on commercial principles, taking into account the special value of the like and unlike conditions the value of the services rendered. With the reservation that rates should be charged without arbitrary discrimination to all railroads, making of rates should as far as possible have all the elasticity necessary to permit the development of the traffic and to promote the public and to the railroads themselves." The present proposal is, as Mr. Walker D. Hines, of Louisville, showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the senate committee at Washington, to crystallize flexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed government rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some government tribunal, and by this very process to increase "the temptation to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet some overpowering and urgent commercial condition."—New York Sun.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play? When the Garfield report on the business methods of the packers appeared, after eight months' investigation, it was severely criticised and roundly denounced. After three months of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to controvert the figures contained in that exhaustive document. The public is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling is rapidly growing that the sensational charges out of which the "Beef Investigation" arose were without foundation. If the official statements of the report are susceptible of contradiction, a good many people are now asking why the facts and figures are not furnished to contradict them. The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensational assertions. A flagrant example of this appeared in a recent article in an Eastern magazine, to the effect that "forty Iowa banks were forced to close their doors in 1903-4 by the Beef Trust's manipulation of cattle prices." Chief Clerk Cox, of the banking department of the Iowa State Auditor's office, has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly untrue. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states that they have been caused by unwise speculations and by reckless banking methods. It may be well to suspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proved. Similar Symptoms. "Are you a married man?" asked the lawyer, who was doing the cross-examining.

Washington, June 1.—President Roosevelt yesterday authorized the announcement that Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, would be appointed secretary of the navy to succeed Paul Morton, who earlier in the day stated he would retire on July 1. The president also authorized the statement that no other change in the personnel of the navy would occur in the near future. Secretary Shaw already has indicated his intention of retiring from the cabinet, probably next February. Rumors of the retirement of Attorney General Moody have been published, but it is understood to be his intention now to continue in the cabinet for a year and a half and perhaps longer. To all except President Roosevelt's closest advisers, the announcement of the selection of Mr. Bonaparte as the head of the navy came as a surprise, although the president for some time in anticipation of Mr. Morton's retirement. Paul Morton will go to New York to live and will become associated with Thomas F. Ryan. Mr. Morton will at once take active charge of the plans for the construction of the proposed comprehensive system of underground rapid transit lines in New York City for operation in connection with the existing surface lines. Mr. Ryan is a well known capitalist of New York who has control of a large portion of the surface street car lines of the city and proposes to construct a large subway system. He was one of the supporters of Judge Parker in the last presidential campaign. TURNED STATE'S EVIDENCE. George E. Lorenz Testifies for the Governor and the Crawford Conspiracy Trials Washington, June 1.—George E. Lorenz, of Toledo, who was convicted with August W. Machen and Samuel and Diller B. Brog, on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with contracts for furnishing supplies for the postoffice department, yesterday turned state's evidence in the trial of William G. Crawford, of Moundsville, for conspiracy. Machen and Lorenz were jointly with Crawford. The former pleaded guilty and was sentenced to an additional two years in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va., and Lorenz was granted a severance for trial. It is generally credited that Lorenz is testifying for the government under an agreement that he shall not be prosecuted under indictments pending against him. He has been sentenced to two years at Mountsville in aspiring with Machen and the Groffs. RULERS' LIVES IN DANGER A Bomb la Thrown at a Carriage Containing the King of Spain and the President of France. Paris, June 1—An attempt to assassinate King Alfonso was made last night. As his majesty drove with President Loubet from a gala performance at the Grand opera house, a bomb thrown by an anarchist exploded near the royal carriage. As if by a miracle both the king and president escaped but fragrant of the mislaid seriously injured, five killed or maimed a number of cavalry horses forming the escort and knocked out a child's eye. Intense excitement followed. The king and president retained their presence of mind, his majesty sending back a member of his suite to make inquiry as to the wounded. The bomb has been arrested, with two others believed to be implicated in the plot. FIVE MEN WERE KILLED. Cave-in of the Irrigation Tunnel at Montrose, Col., a Serious Affair. Montrose, Col., June 1.—At least five men were killed and two seriously injured by the caving in of the Gunnison reclamation mine tunnel. The dead: James Cassidy. C. Taylor and Fred Groff were pinned under heavy timbers and terribly injured. They would have been drowned but for the efforts of their entombed companions, who improvised a dam to hold back the water which poured in the tunnel for a time. Twenty-one men were rescued uninjured, but exhausted. They were hoisted with ropes through a shaft which had been sunk* 60 feet. Lobley's Trial Begins. New York, June 1.—Charged with the larceny of $27,816 from the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Samuel A. Lobley was put on trial in Brooklyn yesterday. It is alleged that Emil Neumer, a former employee of the Equitable Society, abstracted from its vaults a $50,000 policy on which Lobley is alleged to have borrowed $27,816 from the Equitable with Neumer's aid and was about to repeat the operation when suspicion was aroused before payment had been made on the second check.

Wanted to Say Something to the Old Woman and the Way Was Opened. "I was in a Long Island village last summer," said a New York lawyer, accusing the man of driving a big automobile came tearing along, and just in front of the post office it struck and killed a big hog belonging to a villager who was leaning over his gate at "How fast was the machine going? I asked of him, as he came out and looked after the flying auto." "For what hour, he replied." "Then you can make the owner pay for your hog." "Yes, I suppose so but I don't think I should go to the case." "Don't you think the hog is worth going to law about, eh?" "He was a fine hog, and I ought to be a lawyer, and I am and old woman have been grunted at each other for a week, and I've been aching for a chance to open out on her. This is just what wanted me, and auto go to tell her some thing she won't forget for the next 30 years!" TELEPHONE AS REFORMER. Morals. Congressman Bingham, at a dinner of the Philadelphia Clover club, spokes of modern life in the most optimistic way, recounts how the telephone has "grown better," he said. "Daily it becomes cleaner, kinder, and more upright. Nearly everything makes for reform. Even the telephone has a treemark, reforming." "Let me give you an example of the surprising effect that the telephone exercises over our morals. "A certain man, at breakfast one morning, said to his wife: ing, please. I love you." My dear. I'll be home to dinner to-night, and you had better not sit up for me, as I shall be detained very late at the office posting my books." "Very well," the lady answered. "Before I leave, you say good night to you over the telephone." The man had forgotten, you see, that a telephone now connected his office and his house.

For two years I had what the doctors called rheumatism. I could hardly walk around in the house, I could walk around in the house, legs. I tried everything but nothing helped me till I got Dodd's Kidney Pills. "Two days after I took the first dose all pain left me and it has never come back I won't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too much."

Long Island as a summer resort grows in popularity each year, for once a dweller on this exceptionally favored Atlantic 岛, being the dweller is the rule. Its natural attractions are marvelous in variety, its South or Ocean Shore is most widely known, for here the surf bathing heat, so often encountered at other heath, so often encountered at other Atlantic points, is a thing unknown, because this beautiful Island alone trends East and West directly across the Summer with blowing fresh and cool over the Atlantic. It has besides the open ocean the Great South Bay and other inland seas further to the east where safe sailing and still sea travel is possible. On the North or Sound Shore the attractions of salt water are also most excellent; the surf of course is lacking, but instead this shore has bluffs and hills trees, rocky coasts and fresh water. Fishing both in fresh and salt water is a noted attraction of Long Island. Golf and tennis enthusiasts are splendidly cared for, as L. L. links and courts are unsurpassed. The splendid system of highways has always attracted the rider, driver and automobilist. Hence, all in all, for rest or sport afoot on ashore no coast resort has more to offer.
