THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 46. Small Hats and Gay Parasols FOR WARM DAYS. WHEREHER or no, this summer you must carry a parasol; it is a nuisance, but the little hat now reigning demands it. The shops offer an infinite variety, and Fashion demands one have at least two; one for plainer wear, a fluffy bit of folly for dressy occasions. But if economy bid that the two cannot be purchased, it is well to compromise on a parasol that will do double duty. The ponge appears to us as nearest answering the purpose. We do not remember ever having seen such a variety of sun-shades. They are seen in all colors and all tints; plain and furbedulous, checked and embroidered; lined with contrasting color, lined with chiffon. The pretiest of all are the embroidered washable kind. Very lovely ones are of black chantilly lace made over a color matching the costume with which carried. The handle is of black beads. White certain things are deigneur this summer, it is generally a free-for-all season. One may wear a high belt, or a narrow one; a trimmed skirt, or a plain; elbow sleeves, or those with long cuffs, severe waists, or fussy ones. Two points, though, should be observed, no drooping at the shoulders, no yoke coming down over the sleeve; and no full blushing at the belt. The waist line is still brought down pretty low in front, and it is hoped this becoming style, founded on good principles, will continue long. Linen coats are seen more and more as the days grow warmer, even colored ones with white or with black dresses. We saw a very pretty green linen redingole with a thin black gown, and worn with this was a hat trimmed with mignonette and mossgreen velvet ribbon. Short black silk basque coats are very fetching with sheer skirts; the coats, with elbow sleeves and lingerie waist, attractively cool. A made-to-order look is given washable frocks by the use of many dainty little wash buttons, those called lace buttons in special favor, as are also the tiny pearl sort; beautifully worked For Girl That Rides Horseback For Girl That Rides Horseback FOR some reason or other there has started up with much sign of continuance the fashion of horseback exercise. In city parks and country highways one sees groups of riders enjoying themselves in gay unconventional manner. Women riders to-day do not look stiff and manishas as they did years ago; while there is more riding, there is less of certain conventional dress for the sport. Now, shirt waists are considered quite the thing, and on the warm days of spring and summer no coat is worn. Hats are chosen for the sake of shade from glaze, coolness, and general comfort. The tricorne is a favorite, the soft cowboy felt obtains in the country, and in the country some extremists go hatless. It is well to select a hat that will at least modify the sunburn, for though one may prefer to look like an outdoor girl, rather than a rocking-chair damsel, yet an overcountenance is not very beautiful. Cross-saddle riding demands a divided skirt, and tailors have met the demand with an excellent garment, an affair that can be made to do double duty. When in the saddle it is a divided skirt fitting trimly about the hips, falling straight and trim to either stirrup; when the wearer discounts she buttons a plait a bit differently, and there she has a nne pedestrian costume. This year these garments really are very satisfactory; it has taken a lot of experimenting to arrive at this result, however. All sorts of materials are used for the bifurcated garments. The summer girl no longer need swiffer in a riding hakit of heavy wood. For country wear we see not a few wash skirts, which, worn with white waistls, look delightfully cool. They must easily, and many prefer Panama cloth or some substantial medium weight goods. Linen habits are liked, the natural colors in favor, though, in W F buttonholes help out the hand-sewed aspect, and these points are easily seen to by the average home dressmaker. White linen dresses are effectively trimmed with straps of self-material fastened at the ends with rows of the little buttons. This kind of trimming is much better than cheap lace or embroidery. We have noticed a few children's frocks made of colored stuff, with just a wee introduction of white, a square at the neck of finest Swiss embroidery and a collar of the same. We wonder if this could not be copied by the elders. Wash belts are much in vogue. When of the embroidery like that used on the dress they add not a little to the whole effect. Dresses trimmed with the Hardanger embroidery have belts of the embroidery, and unlined collars. By the way, it is a great saving of laundry work to have detachable cuffs. Collars sewed to the dress are the more fashionable, but not so sensible. We should like to emphasize the fact that it is to the everyday clothes, rather than the "best," the appropriate "every woman," for the master of that—should pay the most attention. And to our way of thinking, a woman is best dressed, anyway, when she is in simple walking uniform. Especially is this felt this summer, as one notices the wholesome looking summer girl promanding in short white skirt, neat tucked waist, simple hat and parasol. She looks as fresh as a flower. Short skirts are in assured favor, women walk now with no thought of dragging gown. And we seem to notice a change in the gait since this happy fashion came in, a quicker, surer step. But to return to our text about the desirability of having the common clothes trim and well made. This not only confers benefit on one's associates, but goes far to establish one's reputation as a well-dressed woman. It does not waste time and money on clothes that are to be putaway in trunks, while the owner goes about in down-at-the-heels' traps, things neither in repair nor in fashion. NORFOLK HABIT. midsummer, one may see an occasional extravagant miss appearing on the road in a snow-white riding garb. Straw sailor hats are good form, look trim enough for the folk used to the stiff derby. We must say that while the latter is still seen, it looks rather old-fashioned and uncomfortable. As to gloves, wash gloves are best. Belts may be of kid or of wash material like the waist. Stocks should be washable, for there is no exercise harder on clothes than horseback riding. Have the waist as simple and tailory as possible, likewise the stock. You want no "lingerie" appearance when riding. Norfolk jackets are affected by youthful rlders, and are very becoming, as a rule.

The Origin of "Pan-Africanism" Attributed to Afro-Americans, Particularly Bishop Turner and Other Officials and Missionaries of the A. M. E. Church—Good Work Spreading the The feeling. There is a movement—also described as "Pan-Africanism"—to consolidate the black natives of the British colonies of South Africa and to stimulate in them pride of race and its assertion. "Africa for the Africans" is its watchword. The bitter opposition of the white inhabitants to the movement is expressed by one of them in the Nineteenth Century. This writer attributes the origin of the movement to "American Negroes, whose teaching, if not deliberately seditious, implants in the native mind crude ideas about the brotherhood of man;" he describes "Ethiopianism" as an importation from the United States brought over by missionaries—"emissaries" he calls them—of the African Methodist church as a means of religious propaganda. These missionaries, "saturated with American political ideas," "go up and down" the land, establish that South Africa is a black man's country and that the blacks must stand up for their rights." For example, he stigmatizes as pestilent and traitorous a remark made by Bishop Turner, a missionary of our Negro Methodists, that "God meant that the Negro shall retain Africa and build up a republic of his own." So strong is this feeling of opposition among the whites that "there are people in South Africa, in Natal and the Transvaal especially, who would bundle out of the country the American Negro, bag and baggage, under a law excluding undesirables." The expulsion of all American Negroes from South Africa was seriously advocated in the Natal parliament at the last session, and "all the South African governments are opposed to the presence of the Negro preachers." Even among the Ethiopians of the Transvaal themselves, this authority declares, "quite recently an agitation has sprung up with the object of expelling the American Negro element." He acknowledges, however, that "Ethiopianism is favored by "the influential native paper Invo, as well as by other native prints," and that "the tendency of the natives, where it is an upward tendency, is in the direction of the white man, and from the white man. Moreover, the African Methodist Episcopal church, the American organization against which he invigores so bitterly, "is, in point of membership and money, probably stronger than all other Ethiopian churches put together." Is not this a very remarkable situation? The white man would close even Africa, the home of the Negro, against the aspiration of the Negro for political equality. Even Ethiopia must not be Ethiopian.—N. Y. Sun. [Note—Our next issue will contain another and more interesting article on the same subject.—Editor.] TO FIGHT A DUEL!

A SQUARE DEAL In Everything, Will Do More to Solve the Problem Than Whitening the Afro-American's Face, Says Rev. Edward S. Doan, in a Recent Letter to a Local Daily Paper—Interesting. We hear much these days about the so-called Negro problem. All sorts of good things are said about our darker brother, and all sorts of bad things. It has been my privilege and duty during the past five years to work among the colored people of Cleveland. * * * REV. EDWARD S. DOAN. Amcng themselves they have the educated and the uneducated, the well read and the ignorant, the virtuous and the vicious, the workers and the shirkers. The Negroes themselves are just as conscious of these differences among them as we are of the same among us.* * * The wisest and most intelligent among them. * * * are constantly measuring a man's standard by his character and attainments. As to prejudice, the white man must remember that this is a two-edged sword. It may be very unreasonable on both sides, but I sometimes think that the Negro is more justified in his prejudice than the white man. The white man's prejudice is oftentimes a dislike for a black face, and therefore very shallow. But not so with the Negro's prejudice. It springs up from the depths of an insulted manhood. Injustice, exclusion from acquiring property where he pleases, insincere treatment, insolent stares and sharp glances on street cars and in places of public amusement, debarment from some of the latter, confinement to the lower walks and mental services of life—all these things and many more certainly develop a prejudice far deeper than that which is developed from minor causes. If the white man's prejudice is born from a fear of amalgamation of the races, which amalgamation has taken place the white man is largely responsible. Look at the multitudes of light-colored people in our country to-day. Where did they come from? Was it from a desire on the part of the Negro for the amalgamation of the races? No, never! The Negroes generally do not believe in the intermarriage of the races. They want their sons and daughters to marry respectable and industrious members of their own race. The solution of the so-called Negro problem can never come through the whitening out of the Negro's face. He realizes to day as never before that he must develop his own resources, and confine the search for higher and better things to a better and higher development of his own nature. Of course, the Negro, like the white man, has his faults and weaknesses, when we consider the 40 years of higher ideals for the one and the turtles for the other, we must indeed stand in respectful admiration for what the Negro has achieved and is achieving in this country of his and ours. The Negro is more and more conscious to-day of the need of wise and intelligent leadership. He is taking more pride in being well represented everywhere in public offices. The best and most influential colored people today are crying out against bad politics in their midst. They want their best and most honored men to lead them, and they want such men recognized in political preferment. Another cry goes up from our darker brother, and it is for better homes. Most of the Negroes are renters from landlords. Such landlords very often are afraid and grasping, and take no pain to mourn the homes of the colored people neat, responsible and sanitary. Such tyranny and base treatment make one's blood boll when he sees it. * * * * Personally, I believe there is a great future for the Negro race in this country. The Negro's desire to learn, his ambition to be something and do something, all are contributing toward a higher type of a Negro citizen which the white man will be bound to recognize more and more in the affairs of men. Along with this development will come also a getting together of the colored people for their own mutual benefit, and eventually, among themselves, they will have all that the white man has to make him happy, prosperous and contented with his lot.

Keep up the good work! "Africa for Africans" is a splendid slogan, and the fact that Afro-Americans are encouraging it is creditable to say the least. A little late, it is true, but "better late than never." Rev. Edward S. Doan, of this city, is right—better treatment generally, "a square deal" as President Roosevelt would say, is what pur people in this country need most. It will solve "the problem," too.

Fidelity to a race to the exclusion of others disqualifies man to become the servant of the people. To be unfaithful in any respect to the cause of humanity renders a man unfaithful to the cause of his race. Racial discrimination is an encroachment upon the claims of humanity. The home, the church and the state may bestow their best benedictions, but if done selfishly and regardless of the best interest of the community and the state as a whole, the effect must operate deleteriously to the public welfare and hence deleteriously to the home and to all. No man can be regarded as a good citizen who discriminates between the races. His very influence bars the good which he might otherwise as a patriot and benefactor confer upon his own community. May we not justly characterize such a one as an instrument of evil, who discriminates against any member of the social compact? Living under equal laws and restrained by a religion that is purely Christian and without bias, one must appear only in the light of a traitor who teaches any other doctrine or propagates any other sentiment save that of fraternity and good will among men. The grander and nobler life demands a common brotherhood, a mutual sympathy that animates the heart of humanity to pulsate in one harmonious whole. But in this enlightened and Christian period men are too contracted in their views to realize the error of their ways. Joined to the false theory of American education that the folly of ingrained prejudice is a pardonable sin, thousands of our best citizens hold that loyalty to race is a binding obligation sustained in righteousness and justice. Be true to humanity and we can but be true to a race, but it is wrong to say, "I love all the races of men, but I love my own race best." God is no respecter of person, and living as we do under one common government it is wrong that any man should declare himself a lover of his race as against others. Loyalty to humanity and God is our highest and first duty, and no man can be justly depended upon who pledges himself to his race, right or wrong. Only the just and fair dealings can find favor with God. Man's mission on earth is to promote right-earness, to separate the chaff from the wheat, and to glorify God. But in a land where sin abounds, and bad men of all races are allied with Satan against the Kingdom of Christ on earth, it is an assault upon heaven itself that one race should discriminate against another. "Oh," says a white brother, "I go among the black people because I have dealings with them. I find them clever, and by far more hospitable in many respects than many of my own race, but I love my race the best." A Negro may declare as much, but the ethics is bad. Men, irrespective of races, if loved at all, must be loved for their excellences and their virtues. All men should be respected according to their behavior and their merits, and not for racial distinction or complexional differences. No man is broad and generous, and none are true who judge another according to his race. Some black men rise to the highest heights in the scale of being, while some white men have descended to the lowest depths in social life. Some have blackened the fair name of race with crimes most revolting; while others, rising from obscurity and humiliation, have become the brightest gems in the diadem of fame. Verily then, it must afford a rather sad commentary upon the religion, the civilization, and wisdom of Anglo-Americans, that a man's only recognition to manhood and greatness, is derived from the color of his skin. But we are called to dispense a nobler and a more exalted idea of American manhood. Loyalty to humanity is the highest and best type of Christian manhood. It is the truest type of an honest man. It is that which makes us loyal to each other, loyal to man, and worthy to be called the sons and daughters of God. Fighting "Jim Crow" The colored people about Cleveland and in other parts of the state of Ohio are waging a vigorous fight against color discriminations in restaurants, theatres and other public places. They are invoking the aid of Hon. Harry C. Smith's state civil rights law and so far have been uniformly successful. Last week's Cleveland Gazette, of which Mr. Smith is the editor, had an account of a case at Ravenna in which a young man got $50 damages for being refused a ticket at a skating rink. A companion who got a ticket, but was refused the privilege of skating, has a suit which he will undoubtedly win. Still another case is that of a man in Cleveland who had a theatre suit brought for undertaking to assist him to a seat other than the one his ticket called for (and secured judgment for $300). The Gazette calls attention to the "peculiar" fact that the daily papers failed to notice the case. This brings us to say, that up to the present time no one has been found with the courage and the means to take advantage of the decision in the Hart case, to test the separate car law as applied to inter-state passengers on our Virginia electric and steam roads. While they run the "colored" car out of the depot in Washington into Maryland on the local trains, it seems of doubt of attempt to force colored people into a case. A case in print being that of the wife and children of Prof. Kelly Miller, who rode wholly undisturbed from Washington to Baltimore in a so-called "white people" car" a few days ago—Alexandria (Va.) Home News. Tourgee Memorial Meeting. The Cleveland Gazette suggests that every town in Ohio where there is any considerable number of colored people, should hold a memorial meeting in honor of the memory of the late Judge Albion Winegar Tourgee, who died at Bordeaux, France, May 21, while in the United States consular service. Judge Tourgee was the greatest active friend the colored people have had in this country since the civil war. We say active friend, because he was an aggressive, never-vigorous man, and he gave a lot of money to help our struggling people, but no one, outside of the author of "Bricks Without Straw," ever stood up to shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of the lowly year after year and fought for the eternal principles of right and justice to all men. His expressive friendship for the downtrodden cannot be measured with words. From the time of his birth, in Ashtabula county, Ohio, May 2, 1908, to the date of his death in a foreign land, May 21, 1905, he seemed to have breathed a new life into men regardless of color. His sense of justice was the highest. He was one of the world's noblest men. Let us in Xenia meet and do honor to the name of our departed friend.—Xenia (O.) Standard. Sharon, Pa., Siftings. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Burns were in Youngstown recently.—The ladies' debate at Zion church on "Woman's Right to Vote," at the literary is still discussed.—Thomas Dillard, of Salem, is here.

NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST Happenings of the Last Five Days Narrated in Few Words as Possible. AT HOME AND IN FOREIGN LANDS RUSSO.JAPANESE WAR. An identical note, the text of which by authority of the president, was made public at the White House by Secretary Loeb, has been forwarded to the governments of Russian and Japan by President Roosevelt. In the interest of humanity the president urges the warring nations to conclude peace. It is suggested by the president that the negotiations for peace be conducted "directly and exclusively" between the belligerent nations. Russia is waiting for Japan to fix the time and place when and where the Japanese terms will be placed in the hands of Russia's representative. The foreign office expects that the delay will be brief. According to the best opinion Russia is prepared to abandon the whole of her Manchurian adventure and give guarantees. The Russian government is an indemnity which it is the consensus of opinion in diplomatic circles Japan will exact, but if it should be moderate and sugar-coated so that it could be liquidated by the sale of the Chinese Eastern railroad and the cession of Russian property and leases in the Kwantung peninsula, it might be overcome. Official assurance that the president's efforts to bring Russia and Japan together to discuss peace will be crowned with success was brought to the House by Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, who in the name of Emperor Nicholas formally accepted the president's "offer of good will."

BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE. A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from Miseries of Indigestion. Thousands of sufferers know that the reason why they are irritable and depressed and nervous and sleepless is because their food does not digest, but how to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong digestive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. "They have been my best doctor," he says. "I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pain in my stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been a tragic one. When discomfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Alx-les-Bains, France, but now resides at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco, Cal. He is one of a great number who can testify to the remarkable efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of nausea, pain or burning in the stomach, vertigo, nervousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by drummers everywhere. Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once begun, and a little book, "What to Eat and How to Eat," may be obtained by any one who makes a request for is by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenected, N.Y. This valuable diet book contains the most plentiful means for the cure of constipation. Ancient Egypt Knew the Virtues of the "King of Foods." Since the earliest annals of Old Egypt, wheat has been recognized as the king of foods. It has held its sway down to the present day, notwithstanding the fact that in many forms of making wheat into food products, some of the best elements are lost. Bread has been aptly termed, "the staff of life," as it alone of known foods has all the elements that are needed to sustain life. Egg-O-See contains all the best elements of wheat in a far more healthful and delicious form than any bread, crackers or ordinary wheat foods. In addition to the best whole wheat delicately flaked and crushed, it is made still more digestible by the addition of refined diastase, the highest grade of malt. There are no premiums or gifts in the Egg-O-See package; nothing but full measure of the highest grade of cereal food in the world. Egg-O-SEE A large package at any grocery 10c THE EGG-O-SEE CO.

In a recent article on Americans an English writer gives the following as a characteristic American after-dinner story. its subject being a politician in bathing: "All at once a shark, a maneater, was coming the other way, and swam up squarely in front of him. They eyed each other for a moment and then the shark—blushed and sped away." Locker Sampson, whose name is inseparably connected with the Rowfant library, now awaiting some ruch customer on the shelves of a New York book house, once complained to Bedford, the bookbinder, that one of his recently bound treasures "cockled," that is to say, opened of its own accord. Bedford, scrutinizing first the book and then the owner, said with great severity: "You've been reading it." An Englishman in Canada writes home in considerable excitement as follows: "The majority of Canadians never read an English paper of any kind whatever; all their literature is American. All the booksellers' shops are filled with American books, American reviews, American papers. And with what result? There can be only one result—Canadians will think 'Americally.'" Gen. Miles has a story of a corporal in a regiment under his command in the old Indian fighting days. This corporal was much chaffed by his comrades for his off-repeated expressions of belief in "fatality" and "destination." One day it appears that the corporal, while off duty, was preparing to take a little horseback exercise and recreation. A private observed that the corporal took care to attach a brace of pistols to his saddle. "Hello!" shouted the private to the corporal, "what are you taking the guns for? They won't save you if your time has come." "True for you," grimly responded the corporal, "but I may happen to meet an Apache whose last day has come." RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION Biennial Convention of Conductors Ask Congress Not to Pass Adverse Railroad Laws. At the biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors recently held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway law legislation on the 1,300,000 railroad employees, whom they in part represented. These resolutions "indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads of American Railways, who, with practical unanimity, have joined with the President on this question." They then respectfully point but to Congress the "inadvisability of legislation vesting in the hands of a commission power over railway rates, now lower by far in the United States than in any other country," because such regulation would "result in litigation and confusion and inevitably tend to an enforced reduction in rates, irrespective of the question of the ability of the railroads to stand the reduction, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials." They further protested against such power being given to the present Inter-State Commission because "the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of American jurisprudence, inasmuch as it contemplates that a single body shall have the right to investigate, indict, try, condemn and then enforce its decisions at the cost of the carriers, pending appeal, which is manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such legislation if any, as would "secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned" on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant improvement and development of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among employees in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest wages to employees obtain." In pressing their claim against legislation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent. of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country." "Is it true that the Bloptons are living beyond their income?" "Worse than that. They're living beyond their credit."—Brooklyn Life. THREE YEARS AFTER. Eugene E.

Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. ALICE and Jennie and Marchesa have taken luncheon together once a week for some months past, and although "Dutch treat" has been the rule of their financial intercourse mutual help occasionally has been extended between all three members of the group. Wherefore came about the embarrassing situation in which the trio was placed last week. As luck would have it, they chose a new place of meeting for that unhappy Monday, and Alice, who was first at the trysting ground, refrained from ordering until she was ashamed to hold a table longer. She had nearly finished her real, when Marchesa hurried in, breathless with haste and the tale of her unexpected detainment. Alice had a second cup of coffee with the two shared a salad with similar interest after Jennie's still more tardy arrival. "I'm in luck to find you two still here," laughed Jennie, studying the bill of fare, "for this place seems to be pretty expensive and—" A delighted duo of admiring exclamations greeted the first glimpse of Jennie's new blower, and the resigned looking watch visibly gathered new "patience wrinkles" as the moments passed. At last Alice saw him and recalled Jennie's attention. "Oh, dear," sighed the latter, beginning afresh. "I haven't the least idea what to order! Everything that looks good is so expensive and the things that aren't expensive don't appeal to me at all." "Oh, well! Order something, for goodness sake." Alice adjured her, suddenly conscience-stricken. "Here, I'll order for you. Chicken salad, coffee and she directed me," she directed waiter, who started into grateful life at the word. "Stay, you may bring us an ice all round." "We've held this table 'most an hour and they don't know us here,' she explained to the others as the waiter departed. "It doesn't seem right not to keep eating so long as we keep four chairs." "Well, I hope," began Jessie and Marchesa simultaneously, but Alice was not listening. A stylish young woman had entered and was walking toward them. Alice finally succeeded in attracting her attention. "It's Mary Graham," she cried, as the others turned in amazement, "and not one of us has seen her since she came back from her wedding trip. I'm going to make her sit down right here." The newcomer couldn't do this, because her new husband was waiting for her on the opposite side of the room. But she lingered to chat a few moments, and the others talked about her until the last of the ices had disappeared. Then Jennie, drawing on her gloves with the leisurely air of a satisfied appetite, lightly flicked her check over toward the others. "I'm not particular which of you sweet creatures pays for my luncheon," she smiled, "so long as you don't quarrel over the privilege. But one of you must pay for it, because my pocketbook is all but empty, and I don't get paid until after luncheon to-morrow. I really think you ought to look after me to-day, Alice, because you would have me order such an expensive meal." "But I don't believe I've more than a quarter," gasped Alice, beginning a frantic search of all the side pockets and receptacles in her bag. "I only ordered your luncheon because you wouldn't order it yourself, and wed waited so long for you. That's why I had the ice, too, and ordered one for Marchesa. I was going to ask you to pay for my ice for that matter. I thought you got paid to-day." "I do get paid on Monday usually," explained the distressed Jennie, "but the new rule about paying on Tuesday goes into effect this week. I meant to ask one of you girls to pay for my luncheon in the first place. How about you, Marchesa?" "I've-I think I've got a dollar," sighed Marchesa, also distressed and breathless, "but I've also got to take dinner downtown to-night, and keep car fare for to-morrow morning. I'm not so fortunate as you girls; I have no mother to lend me car fare. And I won't get my salary until to-morrow night." "And then it'll be a check and you can't cash it until the next day," grouned Alice, with sympathetic comprehension. "Well—nobody knows us here so we can't ask them to trust us. And we haven't, any jewelry or anything we could leave as security, even if we wanted to. We'll have to pool our expenses and money and do the best we can." The contents of the three pocket-books were emptied on the table, under cover of a bunched napkin, and breathlessly counted. The combined wealth of the trio amounted to $2.04, the sum total of the three checks $1.95. The girls laughed nervously, and Alice, always the spokesman, took charge of the affair. "There's a nickel for your car-fare home, Jennie," she decided; "you'll have to do the best you can about lunchen to-morrow. Try to borrow a dollar, and I'll do the same, and you telephone me to-morrow morning. Then whichever of us is in luck will take the other out to lunchen." "I've got a railway ticket home, so I can do without car fare, but here's a dime for you, Marchesa. I don't know what you'll do about dinner, unless you can catch your cousin and get some money from her. You simply can't have enough money from here to pay car fare home to night and to-morrow too. As it is we have only nine cents more than we need, and we've taken 15 out. We're six cents short of this bill." More calculations were undertaken, excited discussions ensued, but the result remained unaltered. Car fare must be retained, since all lived some distance from the city, and later the city's reputationally studied by the anxious young women, were decided as quite impossible in the way of explanation and appeal. The minutes flew, and all three were overdue at their respective stations of duty. It was Jennie who at last rose to the occasion, with a gulging sigh. "There's no help for it. I'm ashamed to death, and shall never be able to look my fellow creatures in the face again, but—here goes!" she exclaimed, wretchedly. "Fortunately we've a lot of pennies in that unholy heap of lucre. You two go to the door quickly, when we start, and I'll scatter the money all over the cashier's desk. You call me to me hurry, and we'll all dash out while she's picking up and counting the change." "Our little all!" grinned the irrespressible Alice, pouring the collected coins into Jennie's palm, but Jennio was past smiling. With the air of one going directly to execution, she strode to the desk and duly scattered the money, while the others adjured her to hasten in nervous, excited tones that they vainly strove to render steady. Some of the money rolled to the floor, and the head waiter and manager, stooping to assist the cashier to recover it, looked curiously at the departing trio. "Thank heaven, that's over!" exclaimed Marchesa, as they slipped dexterously into the next building and out into the nearest intersecting street. "You did that beautifully, Jane; I'm proud of you. Now they'll never be quite sure whether they lost the odd pennies or not." "But how are we to pay them?" moaned Jennie, while Alice admitted that she, too, felt like a criminal. "I couldn't look in the mirror or say my prayers, knowing I'd cheated a restaurant out of six cents, and I'd rather die than own up that we knowingly gave them short change." "Same here," was Marchesa's answering groan. "We'll send them three postage anonymously," was the brilliant final decision, attained after much anxious study, and this was presently accomplished. But to each member of the group that particular restaurant will always remain a place to be avoided because of its unpleasant concern concerning the weekly luncheons has been rigorously reinstated "for keeps." —Chicago Record-Herald. RUSSIAN LIQUOR MONOPOLY Revenue from Taxes Amounts to a Large Sum in the Course of a Year. The two purposes of Minister Witte in establishing a government monopoly of the liquor traffic in Russia were to diminish drunkenness by making it more difficult to obtain intoxicants, and to increase the revenues, states the Philadelphia Ledger. The time is still too short to determine fairly the effect of the system on inebriety, but there has been a positive financial gain to the government. It cost $72,000,000 from 1893 to 1901 to put the scheme in operation. During that time the income from the business covered not only this outlay, but also the running expenses, the rebates of duty (more than $17,000,000), and the $600,000 donated to temperance societies, and left a surplus of $850,000. In the year 1901 the receipts from the traffic were $81,700,000 and the current expenses were $62,500,000, leaving a net profit of $19,200,000. In addition, the tax on liquor returned $108,800,000. The year's sales from the government stores amounted to 133,600,000 gallons. The moral effect of the monopoly is less apparent. In 1899 there were 10-234 government stores for the retail sale of liquors, and there were discovered 9,203 illicit stores or "speak-easies." The peasant members of the conference in the district of Saratov declared that there is no apparent decrease of drunkenness, and that, as there are no drinking saloons, the people get drunk openly in the streets; that the secret and illegal sale of liquors is extending, and that the rural communities have lost the considerable revenue formerly derived from saloon licenses. Blasts Rout Sitting Hens. Farmers along the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad near West Chester, Pa. have a somewhat unusual complaint. They will probably not bring suit against the company, but they claim their hens will not sit, and that the company is to blame. The building of the new low grade freight line is causing all the trouble. A large amount of blasting is being done, and the farmers claim the hens will not remain on the nests while it is in progress. They also say the shock of the blasts kills the little chicks before they are hatched. There will be few little chickens along the main line this spring. Real Necessity.

STEPHEN D. LEE PRESIDES Gen. Joe Wheeler, Gen. Buckner and Other Leaders of the Confederate Armies Are Given Enthusiasiastic Receptions by Their Comrades. Louisville, Ky., June 15.—Louisville yesterday welcomed the thousands who have come to attend the fifteenth annual convention of the United Confederate Veterans. The attendance exceeds expectations. Preparations for the accommodation of the old soldiers have been made on a lavish scale. At several points in the city barracks have been provided and a few guests from each is the restaurant which 24 hours out of the day serves free meals to the wearers of the gray. Col. Bennett H. Young, of Louisville, commanding the Kentucky division, called the vast assemblage of veterans to order Wednesday afternoon in the horse show building. The invocation was by Chaplin General William Jones. The chaplain asked that the blessing of God descend on the president of the United States, that he might be the president of this couple because of his service After A. E. Richards had welcomed the visitors to Louisville, Gov. Beckham extended the hospitality of the state. Gen. Buckner welcomed the veterans on behalf of the Confederates in the state at large. The venerable soldier and statesman was given "three cheers and a tiger." Gen. Young was about to introduce Gen. Stephen D. Lee, the commander-in-chief, when Gen. Joe Wheeler, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Carrie Peyton Wheeler, the spooner for the search, and her mid-horror were seen making their way to the stage. The chairman lost control of the convention and the veterans cheered themselves hoarse over the sight of their famous leader. Gen. Wheeler acknowledged the greeting in a brief speech. A rousing reception was given the commander-in-chief, Gen. Lee, when he arose to respond for the veterans to the addresses of welcome. The generals' speech was interrupted by the Cheers of the few remaining great figures of the Confederacy as they made their appearance. Gen. Lee will use in presiding over the deliberations of the convention a gavel made from wood found in Fort Sumter at the opening of the war. A LEAF FROM TOGO'S BOOK. It Will be Utilized by the Men of Our Navy in the Placing of Range Finders on Battleships. New York, June 15—Orders were received at the New York navy yard yesterday from the navy department at Washington to remove the guns from the fighting tops of the battle ships, but the department is issued also that the guns are not to be replaced on the fighting tops of the battleship Indiana, which is being repaired. It is reported that the guns are to be replaced by range finders and that similar orders are to be issued regarding other battleships. The victory of Admiral Togo in the battle of the Sea of Japan is said to have impressed the navy, which finds in place of the one-pounders which have occupied the tops. The fate of the battle was decided by the superiority of the work of the Japanese gunners, while the ships were still at long range. The department was informed that the aim of the Japanese gunners was due to the efficiency of the men with the range finders whom the Japanese had placed in the fighting tops and were thus able to "pick up" the Russian ships at a far greater distance than the Russians could locate the Japanese. Washington, June 15.—For some time past the navy department has had under consideration the expediency of installing range finders in the fighting tops of war vessels in place of the one-pound guns which have occupied places there. There is a two-hour delay in this change. It will give the officers in charge of the range finders a more comprehensive view of the horizon and the possibility of locating an enemy than is now afforded, and also will enable them to control the batteries with better results than at A.

WALL STREETERS OUTDONE Bright Boy Gives Famous Financier an Example of Fine Fig- uring. Thomas W. Lawson, himself an adept in unconventional sports, specifically an received a shock at his own specialty, states Success Magazine. He was driving a spirited horse to a light vehicle. Having occasion to leave it in order to enter an office building, he called to a street urchin. "Sonny, hold my horse?" "Cert," was the pert reply; "what do I sit?" "A dollar an hour," said Mr. Lawson, laughing. "By that clock?" continued the lad, pointing to a street clock in front of a jeweler's. "Yes," said the financier, much amused. "All right," assented the boy, with a sudden in contrast with his previous hesitation. Mr. Lawson performed his ergand and emerged again from the office building, much do I owe you?" he asked the boy. "Two hundred and seven dollars." "What?" he asked. "By that clock, mister." Mr. Lawson glanced at the clock—an advertisement. It contained no works, but was operated by currents of air, and the hands were revolving with the rapid- "I thought Wall Streeters could do more business on wind than anybody else," gasped Mr. Lawson, "but this takes my time!"

At the conference of the Managers of the New York Central Lines, held in New York June 6th, all lines being represented by their General Managers and Passenger officials, it was decided, beginning their work on June 18th, to quicken the speed of the "Twentieth Century Limited" so as to make the time between New York and Chicago eighteen hours instead of twenty hours. The managers made the twenty-hour time during the past three years, and having also made the run between New York and Chicago in twenty hours with their "Exposition and eighty days of the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, twelve years ago." point that the New York Central has had in service the "Empire State Express"—which has been the fastest train in the city for over 100 years, having held the world's record for that time, and for three years and 180 days having held the world's record for that time. The proposed schedule of eighteen hours is simply the extension of the time of the "Empire State Express" through from Buffalo to Chicago, the time having been from Buffalo to New York and Buffalo. On this new schedule, the train will leave Chicago at 2:30 p. m.; the train will leave Chicago at 3:00 p. m.; at 9:30 next morning, and, returning, will leave New York 3:30 p. m., reaching Chicago 8:30 a. m. following day. The train will leave Chicago at 8:30 p. m., be quickened up an hour and will make the time from Chicago to New York in 23 hours instead of 24, leaving Chicago 5:30 p. m. by the Lake Shore Limited. It will be quickened up an hour and will make the time from Chicago to New York in 23 hours instead of 24, leaving Chicago 5:30 p. m. by the Lake Shore Limited.

Long Island as a summer resort grows in popularity each year, for once a dweller on' this exceptionally favored Atlantic coast can enjoy the same pleasure; its natural attractions are marvelous, variety, its South or Ocean Shore is most widely known, for here the surf bathing is particularly fine and the sweltering conditions are mild. The Atlantic points, is a thing unknown, because this beautiful Island alone trends East and West directly across the Summer South Sea, blowing fresh and cool over the Atlantic. It has besides the open ocean the Great South Bay and other inland seas further south, where the sailing and still salt water bathing is at its peak. On the North or Sound Shore the attractions of salt water are also most excellent, the surf course is lacking, but the salt water is more extensive and hills tree-clad to the high water mark. Fishing both in fresh and salt water is a noted attraction of Long Island. a noted attraction of Long Island. Golf and tennis enthusiasts are splendidly cared for, as L, I, links and courts are unsurpassed. The splendid system of highways has al- l-ways reacted the rider, driver and automobilist.

Or can we often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly"; or, "Don't speak to me." Mrs.M.E.Shotwell me." Little things annoy you and make you irritable; you can't sleep. you are unable to quietly and calmly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and generative organs in women is so close that nine-tenth of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or restlessness and irritability. Spirits easily afflicted so that one minute she languishes, the next one she ovaries and between the shoulders. Loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry at the least provocation. All this points to nervous prostration. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and prevent months of prostration and suffering so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatnish Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I cannot express the wonderful relief I have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, backache, headache, loss of appetite. I could not and would walk the floor almost every day." "I am a well woman, my nervousness is all gone and my friends say I look ten years younger." Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all women of its virtues? Surely you cannot wish to remain sick and weak and discouraged, exhausted each day, when you can be as easily cured as other women.
