THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 48. LACE COATS. Pau Attention to Your Shoes S UCH light nothings they are, these "confections" which pretend to ward off breezes, but they add not a little to the attractiveness of the summer girl. The fashion writers tell us more or less about capes, but we contess we personally have not come across very many. We see plenty of thin redingotes, numbers of boleros and short coats, but so far the capes have been few and far between, even among elderly ladies. They seem to have vanished with the bonnet-perhaps both will come to life again. There are pretty cape-like wraps worn, and maybe these are what are meant by the arbiter, but surely they differ much from the old ones we remember as coming under this name. But, come to think of it, they are somewhat after the fashions pictured in the old journals, sort of bertha-mantle affairs; and we notice with the suspender dresses, instead of mannish straps, soft folds edged with a ruffle, forming not only a suppositions support for the skirt, but also a graceful, quaint wrap. There are exquisite little lace and linen coats, the former suitable for various costumes, and therefore not an extravagant investment. Our illustrations give two models, one a boloer and the other a pretty surplice effect. Such a wrap as either of these transforms a plain gown into a dressy, summery costume, and adds the last tounto a light, sheer frock. The hat worn with these should be on the lingerie order, or may be an all-black hat of lacey material. And, by the way, the all-black hat, after a period of retirement, is returning to public favor. We noticed a very pretty costume recently, worn by a brunette of the clear-pallor type; a short white linen suit, black patent leather shoes, a smallish black ship hat with no color about it. It looks cool and simple. Which reminds us to make declaration that the best dressed person of a hot day is the one that looks cool and comfortable, who is minus fuss and feathers Bear this in mind when making ready the midsummer finery. The OW that the short skirt rules, we must look well to our footgear. No woman is well dressed that neglects her shoes. Women in this matter are not so careful as men. Go down town ahy NOW that the short skirt rules, we must look well to our footgear. No woman is well dressed that neglects her shoes. Women in this matter are not so careful as men. Go down town ahy morning and casually observe the line of valenciennes lace, are extremely the shabby, stubbed, unpolished ones nine times out of ten are worn by a woman. Patent leather should not be worn all the time, for it is bad for the feet, but THE 1905 SHOES. It is a shoe which always looks dressy. If one can afford but a single pair for "best," we advise patent leather by all means. Hose matching the costume may be worn with these, and if the latter are made with the straps now fashionable' the light stockings will give probably as good effect as though light shoes had been indulged in. The colored shoes come in canvas as well as kid, and we heartily approve of them. They look so cool, give the right touch to a summer toilet. They come in various shades, and with a dress of Alice blue linen one may have In Union There is Strength. The Summer's Excuse for a Wrap. E COATS. girl in all-white, provided it be speckless, is a refreshing object on a torrid day, and many a one will gladden our eyes this summer. It surely is what is called a white season. The other evening a stately vision came our way, a tall young woman all in pure white. The gown on near view proved a soft mull, trimmed with fine insertion and lace, the redingote of white silk. One might think soft white silk not the proper coat material, that it not only would soil too easily but would draw and pull out of shape. This particular one fitted very well, the seams as true as though of firm stuff. It was effective, and not impracticable, gown and wrap both would undergo washing. The hat was a lace lingerie, not too disjointed; picturesque without leaning to the grotesque. As a rule a woman feels more at ease if she have some little 'throw' to wear on the street, and as a rule she looks better. In the past the ostrich boa fulfilled this purpose, but it coat was not a true piece of many. Now we have boa made of tulle and net, which are very frilly and pretty, and reasonable in price. The shops offer an infinite variety; flat ones of no great depth or length; deeper ones with long ends, and more scarfs. One attractive model is short, an end tucks in close at the neck, while the other extends a little distance to one side, and at the fastening is worn a bunch of flowers matching the trimming on the hat. These boas, made of close-set firl of valenciennes lace, are extremely pretty, and generally becoming. The rich scarf is to be had in lovely shades, and shows up well on a light gown. If one has a lace scarf heirloom it would be well to resurrect it this summer, for there is as much latitude in wraps as there is in the styles of skirts. Shawl-shaped fichus are very graceful and are edged with fringe. These on the lingerie order, of soft mull delicately embroidered, are especially charming. A scarf of double width tulle, two or three yards long, makes a pretty accessory to the afternoon or evening dress, and does not cost vary much. Alice blue canvas oxford. A fashion is not so pretty, more forceful, is that of black patent leather with uppers of colored kid. White canvas shoes with patent leather tips are a better novelty. White canvas shoes are easily cleaned, do not cost a great deal, and are recommended both for utility and appearance. Colored shoes all are cooler than black ones, as anyone devoted to the russet low shoe knows. Stockings matching the gown are fashionable, and are in good taste; they really are not conspicuous, carry out the color scheme without calling attention to contrast. There is less open-work this season, perhaps, more embroidery and more variety of shades. Calfskin is not to the fore now, even for outing wear, to the degree it has been, the tan and brown leather having superseded it. Shoes are not quite slightly pointed as the extremists tried to have them, but the doggie toe is utterly routed. Heels are too high again, but need not be the ridiculous Frenchy sort that sometimes sends the foolish wearer to the hospital. In fact, many a well dressed woman, no matter what the fad be, refuses ever to wear the high narrow heel; there are enough of these women that always there are offered the medium shoes in late style of vamp cut and material. The slippers of straps and rosettes is now the mode. The rosette may be of chiffon matching the dress, or it may be of white lace with a big gold button at the center. Shoes are more fanciful than they have been in the memory of this generation; even the canvas ones come embroidered. But the most marked feature of shoes for 1905 is that the old established black has been intruded upon by the colored canvas and kid. ELLEN OSMONDE CLEVELAND O., SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1905.

"The trouble has grown out of a disgruntled element in the church. A few women belonging to the disgruntled element taking advantage of my absence appeared before the board of deacons and without my knowledge presented charges of unbecoming conduct against me as a minister. The deacons received the charges and appointed a called meeting for the next Monday night. "I informed the deacons that the meeting called for Monday night would be entirely out of order. Instead of listening to me they went ahead and held their meeting on the Monday night. I had publicly announced twice at the Sunday service the day before that there would be no meeting on the following night. Confusion broke up the communion. On the strength of this disturbance I had the two deacons arrested. "On May 22 the church attempted to hold a called meeting, but this also broke up in confusion. There seemed to no effect by to settle the trouble except by a council, and this the deacons and witnesses did for the evening of May 29. This council acquitted me of every charge preferred against me. "The regular quarterly meeting of the church was held Monday evening of this week and it was at this meeting that all the recent trouble which resulted in the cutting of two Negroes and the injuring of a number of others occurred. I took charge at the opening of the meeting and appointed Deacon Callahan as chairman of the meeting. Almost immediately confusion began. "At 11 o'clock one of the trustees, G. L. Randolph, chairman of the board, made a motion to adjourn because of the fact that the meeting was out of order on account of the confusion. Some of the opposing faction yelled out that the meeting would not adjourn, but would continue. When I could get anybody to listen I explained that the meeting was out of order and insisted that they adjourn. So one was able to establish anything like order. Randolph and Callahan had some words because, it was claimed, Randolph spoke to Callahan's wife in a louder tone of voice than heought. Callahan struck Randolph in the face and this was resented, of course. In the confusion which resulted Thomas and White were cut and the meeting was finally brought to an end by the police."

GREENER Ex-Consul to Vladivostok—Why He Was Recalled Recently. There were many conjectures why Prof. Richard T. Greener was recently taken from his position as United States commercial agent at Vladisvostok. The state department finally answered by issuing a statement that the removal was due to undiplomatic procedure. It appears that Mr. Greener turned over the Japanese consular building, which was of course, vacant, to the Russian Red Cross association, for the housing of the sick, without notifying the American ambassador at St. Petersburg. After war began all Japanese consular matters and property were put in charge of the American ambassador. When the secretary of state was informed of the action of Mr. Greener, he wrote Japanese minister in Washington, expressing regrets at the action. The latter has announced that Japan did not object to the Russian Red Cross association using its buildings, and that the blunder of Agent Greener was overlooked. And then that Mr. Greener strained his authority on the impulse of humane necessity, acting hastily, but, as it proved later, in a way that Japan would hardly object to. It is to be hoped that the president will soon give the professor a better berth elsewhere in the diplomatic service. Wheeling, W. Va., News.

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. Have our people of your city or town held a Tourgee memorial meeting? Do your duty? Mr. Foster Williams, of Coffeyville, Kas, a member of the race, is worth $75,000. He owns a large dry goods business. The ex-slave pension fake held a "national" convention at Washington a few days ago and made the stereotyped and worn out "appeal" to congress. Charles J. Bonepart, the new cabinet official, is getting his mug in the paper just about as often as is his name, and all because he halls from a southern hotbed of damphooldom.—Seattle (Wash.) Republican. Afro-Americans of Georgia paid taxes for 1905 on 1,175,291 acres of land, and upon an entire property aggregating $15,188,669 in assessed value. This means, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that our people of Georgia, or, broadly speaking, the south, are accumulating property and acquiring homes. Dispatches to daily papers, a few days ago, told how white people at a camp-meeting in southern Ohio were shouting and working themselves into such a "religious" frenzy that some of the participants were losing their reason. This is not an isolated case, either. Reaching a conclusion as many whites do in discussing various phases of the so-called race problem, we would say that the religion of the whites is "entirely too demonstrative." Afro-Americans of Richmond, Va. have four banks and all are prosperous too. The state corporation commission of Virginia recently made the following statement relative to them: "The Savings bank of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, (established April 3, 1889) $528,754.34; St. Luke Penny Savings bank, (established Nov. 2, 1903) $41,315.23; Mechanics Savings bank, (established Jan. 1, 1902) $74,242.31; Nickel Savings bank, (established May 1896) $15,921." WHITE MEN DISFRANCHISED The Nation, a paper edited by William Lloyd Garrison, cites public attention to the fact that in Alabama, white men are actually disfranchised as a means of keeping them from voting the republican ticket. It may be a little puzzling to see how the method of disfranchisement is conceived and carried out. For years the town Courtland in Courtland county has been republican. There are no Negro voters in the town at all, yet Courtland is thoroughly republican, save a very small exception, and the last census showed in all only 21 Negroes in the whole county. But the same spirit which has for years actuated unscrupulous bad men to take advantage of and deny black men the right of suffrage, now tries its ugly hand in robbing white men of the right to vote. Five years ago the legislature passed a law empowering the governor who is always democratic, to appoint both mayor and aldermen for the town of Courtland, thus denying free white voters the right to elect their preferred officials. No other town their preferred officials. The law provides for a free and uniform election throughout the state, but the legislature of Alabama, in utter violation of a fundamental regulation, specifies the little republican town of Courtland as the victim of treachery and spite, in order to carry out the malignant purpose of depriving intelligent and loyal white men of the right of suffrage. Through this broad land, white men exercise the undisturbed right of casting a free vote under the constitution of the government of which they are a part. But behold the daring villainy of a democratic legislature stooping to a cowardly and unfair deal only to rob men of their just and inenable rights. Now since this is true and since those in authority and those who are called to represent the people may be allowed to thus take advantage of their fellow citizens, how long before it may be that other states shall be found perverting the truth of law, corrupting the principles of government and despoiling the fair name of republican liberty. Indeed the legislature of Alabama has offered in effect an example most de- moralizing to public justice. The audacity of this action makes null and void the true intent of the fundamental law. Already it has ventured too far, too far in its encroachment upon the rights of the people; too far in tramplung upon the suffrages of enfranchised black men, until now it challenges white men in the exercise of a just and equal privilege under a common law. The law provides against unjust discrimination and it becomes the aggrieved of all races to appeal to the higher court in vindication of the claims of outraged citizenship. The Afro-American in his helplessness should maintain the right of the citizen by an appeal to the higher court. By all means we do not and we can not expect disfranchised white Americans to submit to an injustice so threatening to liberty and free government. As is said by the Nation, "The ballot is in danger and unless this spirit of disfranchisement is throttled, the time will come when white men will be no more secure in their rights than Afro-American." Agreed! The Colored Catholic Herald which was erected out of the wreck of the Colored American had a short fiftielf existence and — died. — Alexandria (Va.) Home News. That fellow, E. E. Cooper, who "starred as "publisher" of both, is courageous to almost anything in the shape of a newspaper he is connected with in a controlling capacity even in part—Cleveland Gazette. Suppose we call him a national paper killer? Helped to kill many a little one when he posed as the editor of "the only great race newspaper."—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Mrs. Carr's Thanks.

IN STRICT CONFIDENCE. Women Obtain Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Help. She Has Guided Thousands to Health. How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Cured Mrs. Fred Seydel. It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness and know that her letter will be seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to anothertelling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that she can be seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has had more money creating female illus tions. Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidences of women, and every testimonial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been. Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: "Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as I had female ills and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your letter of instructions and followed your advice, and I received a beautiful sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl.

"They are perfectly fascinating to me. I'd like nothing better than to have a child with me all the time." She looked so pretty when she said it that I longed to fall on my knees before her. Miss Dalrymple was the idol of my heart, but I was not happy, even in her society, for I had a rival. My rival was a young widower with a three-year-old child. As I saw the look of satisfaction that spread over his face at this remark, I ground my teeth. Why AN INSTANT LATER I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT AN INSTANT LATER I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT. should he have such an advantage over me? I turned aside less he should see my disturbance and in doing so I happened to glance at Miss Dean. Miss Dean is Miss Dalrymple's cousin, who is taking a rest after the ardors of a three-years' training as a nurse in a well-known hospital. I thought her a pleasant sort of a girl, although I did not approve of women's taking courses of any kind. To my mind their place is at home. But beside Miss Dalrymple's glowing beauty, Miss Dean paled into utter insignificance. In truth it sometimes passed through my mind that my charmer kept this plain cousin beside her for the sake of the contrast. As Miss Dalrymple went on telling of her love for children, I saw a peculiar look on Miss Dean's face. But an instant later I forgot all about it, for a blessed interruption carried off my hated rival, and my adored one, with her cousin, was promising to go to the great Fourth of July picnic in company with me. I walked on wings the next few days. My only concern was a blissful anxiety to think of what would please my charmer most. At the door of my sister's house I had an inspiration. "Bertaa," I said. "I wish you,would let me take Alice with me to the picnic." Alice is my two-year-old niece. She is a beautiful child with great brown eyes, red cheeks and flaxen hair, as like a walking doll as can be imagined. Our acquaintance was not very extensive, for my sister had only lived in the city a few weeks, but already we were in love with each other. A look of actual relief cane over my sister's face. "Oh, John. I should be glad to do it." she said. "I want to go to Rosedale and I can't take baby there." "Let me have her. I'll take the best care of her," I said, imagining how Miss Dalrymple's face would light up at the vision of baby loveliness. She was a vision of loveliness in her white dress and blue ribbons, but Miss Dalrymple didn't seem so pleased as I had thought. "Her ribbons don't match with my lavender dress," she said with a charming little bout. "You'll have to keep her with you. Cora." But Alice objected. "I want to 'tay wiy my Uncle Don," she twittered. "Alice, be a good girl and sit back here with the lady," I coaxed. "No, no!" answered the baby. "Wants to sit wiy Uncle Don. Wants to sit wiy Uncle Don."

"Alice." I said, decisively, "sit right here where uncle puts you." Then Alice's little chin began to work, her nose to wrinkle up, her eyes to shut and her lips to quiver. Ye gods! What a wha! Who would have thought that such a noise could ever have proceeded from the mouth of so little a child! I shook her. She howled louder. Never was a young bachelor in a more conspicuous and embarrassing position. "Let me take her.

Of Wide Interest Breed, Wis., June 26.—Special-Chas, Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace forico Co. has delivered a judgment thatPut briefly, that judgment is “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the market to-day.”And Mr. Peterson gives his reason for the judgment. He says: “Last winter I had trouble with my kidney, so much troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straighten my back. I did not know what it was but an advertisement led me to tip Dodd’s Kidney Pills, which I only say may have done more for me than expected as I feel well now as ever I did before.”Pain in the back is one of the first signs of my kidney not cured by Dodd’s Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or some of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIES FROM EXTREME DEBILITY. Husband's Strength Had Been Waning for Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap but was tired and listless all the time," said Mr. Goldstein. "I went to bed completely used up by my day's work, and when I got up in the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too, and my kid's problems caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I could not stir from bed for three weeks." Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of his own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says: "For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in succession under a physician's care. I had headaches, kidney trouble, pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms connected with that weakness to which my sex is peculiarly subject." Trouble had invaded this household and settled in it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. "I was utterly discouraged," said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve remedy which was said to be wonderfully successful. Within a month there were unmistakable signs of improvement and the result was a completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now as good health as ever I had in my life." Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband led me to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months' treatment cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic and regulator, they make pure, rich blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that is what the system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein live at 38 Gove street, East Boston, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by druggists everywhere. or when roasted?

A Fourth of July Change of Heart By BERTHA E. BUSH ADORE children," said Miss Dairymple. "They are perfectly fascinating. "You don't have anything better than to have a child with me all the time." She looked so pretty when she said it that it longed to fall on my SHE WAS A VISION. the low sweet voice that spoke to the child was heard through it all. We had no more trouble with little Alice while Miss Dean was with us. Indeed, beyond the purchase of a package of candy and a toy balloon for her, I scarcely told of the child. But in another hour Miss Dean went away on an errand and then my trials began. I had looked forward to this season with my beloved with only the unconscious child as a witness ever since the expedition was planned. I had thought that at last I would find an opportunity to offer her my heart and hand. But had sweet baby Alice been a malignant demon, she could not have interfered more with my purpose. In five minutes after Miss Dean had left, she had streaked her white dress with dust stains and candy juice from top to bottom. Her face was worse than her dress and her hans were worse than either. Yet she insisted on patting Miss Dalyrmple's dainty lavender gown and my once immaculate shirt-front with them necessity. I washed that baby's face with my best hand-worked handkerchief ten times in the next hour, with no permanent effect save that the contrast between it and her dirty frock grew more pronounced. At last, in sheer despair, I decided to let her go. Charging her strictly not to go out of sight, I turned to devote to Miss Dalrymole the few minutes before Miss Dean's return. In three minutes I had forgotten everything else. A puff! A bang! A shrill! People began running toward a corner of the park. There had been an explosion of a toy cannon. Where was Bacy Alice? I searched frantically here, there and everywhere. No sign of her, although the murmur of "A baby hurt" filled me with dismay. At last I found her and she was the victim. She was in a policeman's arms screaming lustily and blood was mingling with the dirt on her little white dress. Miss Dialrymple fainted at the sight of the blood, but I did not think of her. I thought only of what Bertha would say when I carried home her baby dead. I was sure she would die. I did not have enough wisdom in naby lore then to know that a child who screamed so loud could not be seriously hurt. I snatched her from the policeman, but she did not stop her screaming. "Oh where is a doctor? A nurse?" I cried, frantically. "I am a nurse." A slight figure in gray was moving softly through the crowd that divided to let her pass and the baby stretched out her arms, for the woman who came to her with a face full of tender pity was Miss Dean. In a twinkling little Alice's screams had turned to sobs as the slim, skilful fingers felt her all over and an- SCREAMING LUSTILY. plied improvised bandages to the bleeding arm that had been torn by a scrap of firing iron. It was not a serious injury. In a few days the baby had entirely recovered from it. But it was enough to give me a chinage of heart. I am about to set up a home beside my sister's, but the mistress who is to preside over it is not Miss Dalrymple, but a gender, more lovable mistress who is and glory in the fact—a trained pural!

Spear, cashier of the "Chad-wicked" Oberlin bank, has entered upon his seven-year term in the penitentiary of Columbus, O. It was supposed, says a local report, that he would be given a clerical job in the prison, but Warden Gould already has ten convict bankers in his establishment, all of whom have been assigned to that kind of work, and Spear may have to content himself with something of a more menial character. A POPULAR WORK ILLUSTRATED "The Moment After," by Robert Buchanan. Don't Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, come, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

Nothing ever became popular—here or in any other country—without a reason. Popular men have merit of some kind, more than beauty. They must have exceptional merit and wonderful character if their popularity increases with time. They must have goods. So with any article that is on the market, it cannot increase its sales, it cannot be adopted as a standard article, it cannot survive generations unless it have real, inherent millions of dollars without merit, are just wasted, so far as continued sales are concerned, or are not being sold. It pelled to buy when they do not approve of. That much is a self-evident fact. It cannot be gainaid. But it tells its own story. It is not a coffee that has been the leader of all package coffees for more than a quarter of a century, that has steadily grown in the affections of millions of American men, the first introduction, long ago. Its unexcelled flavor, perfect purity and uniform quality; its absolute cleanliness and neat appearance, have endeared it to me. Good grocers will tell you this, but those who drink coffee ought to know much more about quality than they who simply see. Insist on Lion Coffee, buy no loose coffee (in bulk)—you don't know what you get. How can your grocer?

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.
