THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 3. Styles for the Early Fall JAUNTY STREET SUITS. N THE spring we just have to get clothes; in the fall we just love to. shoulders, and, a departure, they a seldom cut low around the neck. The senseless and dangerous fashion of t which to loiter and study what is being worn, what is to be worn. Well, we are going to have wonderful colors this season, never were they more attractive. They are not vivid, and they certainly are not colorless. A faddy season it is to be, but the shades will not be so delicate as the pastel tones of recent fashion. What are the new shades? There are dull, dark blues, dim plums and the raspberry tints. What are the materials? Velvets and broadcloths are to have great vogue, and our old friend henrietta cloth. The dully fady tones are beautiful in this latter fabric, and it is sure to be in high favor. Chiffon and mousseline de sole will be very popular for evening gowns. And there we are with this diversified fashion knowledge to go by—thick velvets and broadcloth and soft wool daytimes, thin stuffs for evening. The henrietta may be made up in simple shirt-waist dresses, and equally well in more elaborate afternoon gowns. When chosen for the latter costume, it should be made with a full, all-round skirt, and a chemisette and mitten cuffs of Irish crochet to give a dress touch. Although worn by every woman an one meets, the chemisette and undersleeve accessory promises to remain in mode. Poplins and Panama cloth will have vogue, too, following the costlier fabrics which they imitate. It is thought trimnings will be on a monotone, rather than show contrast. Velvet trimnings are almost always becoming as well as rich in effect, and we are glad they are to be used again. Often a woman can wear a black velvet hat when black in any other material would be very trying, and the softness of velvet makes many colors possible that otherwise would have to be rejected. Concerning wraps. There is a separate cloak offered that is very long and full, the fullness much greater in the skirt. Many cloaks are mounted on vokes; sleeves are very full at the The Instep Skirt to Remain HERE is almost always agitation abroad to the effect that the short skirt must go, that French dressmakers have put their ban on it. This fills the timid woman with apprehension, the one that so much desires to wear the right thing, but has no confidence in her own judgment. Authorities declare that Americans should in this matter, as well as in other requirements of dress, be something of a law unto themselves—conditions there being different from those obtaining in France. American women walk more than do the French, and need a suitable pedestrian skirt. There is good promise that the instep skirt, which we did try to do without for a few years, is back again as an established thing, not to be affected by French caprice. Rich and poor all count the walking skirt an institution, absolutely a necessity. The dealers have perfected it so it to-day is a very handsome part of the costume, and comes in several cuts. Once it was strictly utilitarian, and had no style about it; but its deficiencies have been studied, and we find at last that desirable combination of utility and good appearance. It may be kitted, it may be gored, and even some are made of the circular style. One sees no one nowadays holding up a long skirt. For the house the all-round length is favored, but eschewed for street wear. This winter we may have afternoon and evening gowns with longer, fuller skirts, but even this is more or less problematical. For wear with the short skirt, there is strong prospect that the straight front fitted coat will be preferred. Vests may continue to be a feature of wraps, but it is pretty easy to prophecy concerning this. The jacket for the short suit reaches below the waist line, a basqued affair resembling the old-fashioned riding habits. It looks as though the separate skirt were to be very popular again, and that the plated instep skirt were to I T shoulders, and, a departure, they are seldom cut low around the neck. That senseless and dangerous fashion of the collarless coat seems threatened, and every one should rejoice thereat. There was nothing more comfortable and healthful than the high, rolling collar, which could be raised or lowered at will. It was a great convenience, too, one did not have to be hampered with furs. But for some reason or other—maybe the furriers did it—we were forced for several seasons to buy low-necked winter coats. You might hunt the city over and not find one coat or cloak with a collar, unless, indeed, it happened to be an expensive carriage wrap way above your purse and your needs. Both fall and winter wraps are to have collars. There may be one of those high, turned-down collars that really are quite a protection, over a straight, high band. The long separate coat is an economical investment, as it can be made to serve for both day and evening. Of fine broadcloth it is either dressy or plain enough, just as one wishes. These cloaks are made semi-fitting, but the new ones are very shapely. Empire coats are much worn across the water, both the long and the three-quarters. Probably the empire will find favor here only as a carriage wrap; it is not universally becoming and looks more appropriate for afternoon and evening dress. Suits will continue to be worn, long-coat suits and short-jacket suits; although there will be more buying of separate skirts and wraps than there has been the last few years. With a short costume a fitted coat is liked. New lingerie waists are being shown, and will be worn with the underslip until very late, perhaps all winter. The new feature in these waists is for the long tight cuff to reach above the elbow, the spring designs had the puff extend just below. Yokes are seen on most of the waists. The cold days are not to lessen the popularity of the elbow sleeve, the new fall mpdels show the continuation of its vogue. To go from lingerie to furs, mink is to be worn—when the purse will allow of it. Muffs will be large and flat; neckpieces will be fat again, but the round boa is being taken up over in Paris. A keep up its wide popularity. While there is a tendency towards plain materials there are excellent ones on display in a sort of shadow check, indistinct combinations of soft colors. Color is to be prominent the coming season, but for a walking costume there are offered black cloths with a suggestion of white about them, the white sometimes a hair-line effect, again part of the ground. Then there is a very attractive material which presents two colors, but without any definite design; one mixture of blue-plum and red is very rich. ELLEN OSMONDE In Union There is Strength.

An intensely Interesting Narrative By One Who Knows—Army Record Alone Secured a White Officer Desired Promotion—Never so in Our Case. The article contributed to The Age by Presley Holliday, sergeant-major of the 100th U. S. cavalry, on "Afoe Americans Barred from Army Promotion" is in many respects, deceptive, not only because the author is far astray as to facts, but because he poses somewhat as an expert on the subject presented. In that article he writes as follows: "I am personally acquainted with a large number of men who were commissioned in the volunteers from among non-commissioned officers of the colored regulars and I have thus far met one—one only—who felt that he was treated unjustly by not securing a commission in the regular army. Inquiry developed the fact that he never asked for a commission, and a close acquaintance further convinced me that he lacked the necessary education to perform the full duties of a commissioned officer, and he knew this as well as I. Then why this indignation about not receiving an appointment he never sought and which he was not capable of holding?" The real truth of the matter is this. Several months before the volunteers left the Philippines for the states to be mustered out, the colonel of the 49th U. S. volunteers (colored) sent lists to each officer of his regiment requesting him to state thereon his age, if he was married or single, and whether or not he desired a commission in the regular army. As to the question of commission, I think it would be safe to say that not more than three officers answered in the list of colored officers considered in an all sufficient application, and this it provided to be in the case of white volunteer regiments. All colonels of volunteers were allowed to designate the best officers of their regiments for examination for commissions in the regular army. Many white officers were selected in this way, but not a single colored officer was given an examination. The colored officers were disappointed that none of them were ordered up for examination on reaching San Francisco, Cal. Why those serio-cinquae inquiries as to age, marital contract, and examination was intended for these officers? In my humble judgment no argument is here necessary. It was a clear case of the boldest species of unwarranted discrimination by a great department of the government. It does not require great capacity to presume, as does Sergeant Aaron Holiday, the incompetency of the volunteer officers to perform the duties of commissioned officers of the regular army. The only fair way was to apply the test. Fair play was all the volunteer asked and intelligent free men should be content with nothing less. There were about 15 officers of the 49th regiment who were graduates from some of our best high schools and colleges, besides others who were more or less educated. Such bright young officers as Captains F. R. Steward, of Harvard; Wm. M. Hawkins, of Washburn; E. D. Bass, of Lincoln; Thomas Campbell, of Lincoln Institute, Mo., and D. J. Gilmer, of Bennett, could have passed any fair mental tests for commissions in the United States army. The sergeant-major has shown himself very distressfully concerned that the colored volunteer officers should be able to perform "the full duties" of commissioned officers. But it is not so obvious to the average man just known by the duties of commissioned officers. Holiday may have had in mind, apart from the ordinary routine, certain technical or scientific duties which many officers now in the service lack the necessary training to perform, especially those who were commissioned from the ranks and from civil life. The military school of Leavenworth, Kansas, was particularly designed for the instruction of this class of officers; but many of them never attend it. Again we quote from the above mentioned article: "Our people should know that the gallant old sergeants with years of honest and faithful service to their credit of whom so much has been written, who generally secure commissions in volunteer regiments and generally go east on muster-out to tell of their unfair treatment, can not be commissioned in the regular establishment because they lack the education and culture so essential to an officer of the army of a great Nation like the United States, notwithstanding their gallantry and long service." The high educational standard set up by the sergeant-major for "the old sergeants" as a condition precedent to their entering the commission ranks of the regular army reminds me of those in unfit. When so many years ago, when Sergeant-Major Holliday was a troop clerk and not so sure of his military knowledge as he now is, a certain army officer with a fighting record, being required to perform certain literary work as a member of a military post lyeum, failed repeatedly; and his colonel, required to explain these failures to the war department, remarked that this officer was a "rough and ready soldier but one of very limited education." Later when this same officer appeared for examination for promotion, the war department suggested to the board that he should pass on his record alone, and he is now a colonel in the regular army. And this is not a solitary instance. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, there were many rough and ready soldiers among the officers of the army whose education was very limited, especially among the old officers, quite a number of whom were commissioned more because of their Civil war record than by virtue of their high education and culture. Then why require so much education and culture for "the old sergeants?" Besides, some of them possessed considerable education. They performed the clerical duties of their regiments before the Spanish-American war with credit to themselves and their commands; their superb military qualities were conceded; their splendid records were well known at the war department. At Santiago and Manila they added new laurels to distinction already achieved in Indian campaigns. Then should not the best equipped of these rugged old veterans of many wars expect recognition from the government? Mark you. I do not under-rate education and culture. An army officer should have both. But is a rough and ready soldier with a limited education and a white skin more to be tolerated in the commissioned ranks of our army than a colored soldier of like character? T. THOMAS FORTUNE. His "Dreams of Life," a New Book Fine Collection of Poems. "Dreams of Life," a collection The sergeant-major, with a sneer, charges "the old sergeants" with going east on muster-out, as volunteer officers, and making complaints of "unfair treatment." We deny the charge that there was any general complaint by these officers. The truth is that they and the other volunteer officers from civil life were entirely too passive relative to so vital a matter. That these colored officers (and I include the officers of the 48th) were not permitted to be examined for commission was, in view of the recent commendable record of the colored troops, the basest ingratiate and a piece of the gossest injustice. And this is the main contention of the author of "Army Door Closed" (Judge R. H. Terrell) and he is correct. Reference by way of criticism to the court martials and dismissals in the colored volunteer regiments comes with bad grace from a colored soldier who should know something of the difficulties by which the colored officers were beset. The colonel and staff officers of these regiments being white, it was due largely to the good sense and tact of the colored officers of the 49th that there were fewer court marshals than there were in many white volunteer regiments. The 49th regiment was particularly unfortunate in its colonel, Wm. H. Beck, who was a man of cranky temper, minus the qualities of a soldier. As colonel of the 49th he was narrow and bigotted, possessed neither tact nor courtesy, and was without affection for his colored officers, whom he but poorly supported even in their efforts to maintain the discipline of their commands. Had he remained all of the remainder of his natural life as an Indian agent, a service to which seemingly he was but had been divested of his military rank, the army would not have suffered.

"Will you push it yourself?" asked the roller chair man. "No," said Dr. Crum, "I want one of your boys to do it." Dr. Wm. D. Crum.

Thomas Fortune, a cloth bound book of about 200 pages, is the newest and latest addition to the literature of the country. The book contains an excellent photogravure of the author. It is published by Fortune & Peterson, of New York, and the price is $1.00. The book is dedicated by the author to his two children, Miss Jessie and Frederick W., "whose affection and devotion," he says, "have been an inspiring and sustaining influence" in his life. In submitting this collection of verse to the public the author says he does not seek to gratify any personal vanity; that during 20 years of active journalism in New York he has found it to be true that the success one achieves in life, of whatever character, usually costs one so much in effort and anxiety that very little capacity for the enjoyment of the fruits of one's labors is left him. We are told that "in our youth we are carried forward by an enthusiasm and confidence which defy obstacles and laugh at criticism and judicious advice; in mature years we are governed by a philosophy which comprehends in its calculation every obstacle and invites rather than repels criticism and judicious advice. The confidence of youth is replaced by the skepticism of maturity." It was during these 20 odd years of Mr. Fortune's life that he composed the many poems which fill the space between the covers of the book. He composed them mainly for his own amusement and pastime. It was after many years of thought and hesitation that he concluded to publish them in book form. The scenes of most the poems in the book are laid in Florida; and Mr. Fortune says that this is only natural, because he was born in that state. Perhaps the saddest and most sympathetic poem in the book is the one entitled "Emanuel." Emanuel was Mr. Fortune's only brother, and was associated with him in newspaper work in New York many years ago; he was the brightest of bright young men, was a deep thinker, a masterful writer and an excellent orator. Emanuel has long since died and is now dreaming sweet dreams in the regions of another world. Another interesting poem is "The Serpent." The author here tells of a time when he was a boy, and attempted to pluck a flower along by the mountain's side; but as he paused a poisonous snake dared him the flower to take. "So, all through life," he says, "a poisonous stream is mingled with the sweetest dreams." A copy of the book can be had by applying to any newdealer or of Fortune & Peterson, 4 Cedar street, New York City. Franklin, Pa.

SHALL HE HOLD OFFICE? The Christian Advocate, now published in Nashville, Tenn., from recent utterances, seemingly very unfaithful to its tenets, opposes the civil rights of Afro-Americans and in assuming this attitude, takes strong ground against our holding office under the government. No secular or religious organ, exercising the right of free speech, can consistently take such a position without antagonizing the fundamental idea of constitutional government. But this the Advocate has done, and in doing so it has outraged common justice, assailed the right of citizenship, and has committed an assault against the government of the people. Fair dealing is consistency. The Advocate is not consistent—it is not fair dealing. Its plea is one of robbery and outrage. It recognizes the fact that the amendments to the constitution is a force gone finality from which there can be no appeal. It is now well aware that according to these amendments, the Afro-American is invested with all the rights and privileges equally with all other American citizens. Yet it goes behind these amendments, it goes behind the law and the constitution, behind the nation's honor and demands that liberty and justice shall be betrayed, and that the loyal blacks of the country shall be forcibly and ruthlessly robbed of a right which is theirs to all intents and purposes. The Christian Advocate well remembers the bargain entered into by the American people, when the law was ratified by two-thirds of the loyal states, yet in heartless knavishness, it views the "colored brother" with an eye of an avenging demon and demands that of all the races, the Negro, who has suffered and bled and made innumerable sacrifices for the nation, shall be ostracised, proscribed and rejected among a great and magnanimous people. But the fault, if any, is not with the Negro, but rather with those who would persecute him and grudgingly withhold from him his rights. Like the manger dog, it is not content to enjoy the freedom and privileges so generously provided for all Americans, but in supreme meanness and littleness of heart, it asks that others be excluded from a blessing which it claims the right itself to enjoy. A Christian organ, espousing the sacred cause of the blessed Redeemer, smites the very creature for whose uplift, the crucifixion was made. Triumphantly, this righteous mouth-piece of its kind, adds: "For so long as the Negro is outlawed socially—as he always will—just long so he ineligible for office, outside of the limited number of offices which would bring him in contact with his own people only." But is such an agreement reasonable and just, and can a truly devout advocate of the doctrine of Holy writ, offer such a plea so long as truth and righteousness are maintained as the chief factors in moulding sentiment and guiding the great movement of reform in the world? The government at Washington still lives, but a government that forgets righteousness must reform, must turn from its way of oppression, or that government must go down. "GOSPEL TRUTH." The following editorial from the New York Independent in reply to certain southern critics is entitled to publication in every paper and magazine In this country: "Here is the amazing blindness of our critics. The section (the south) which is dead against social equality is the same that practices it most. Every small southern city has its district where these permanent relations are carried on; for we are not talking of promiscuous immorality, but of unwedded wifehood—in not a few cases unwedded solely because the law forbids. And what is the result? The gradual and somewhat rapid bleaching out of the Negroes' color. Thousands have already passed the line. They have become pure Caucasians. The process will go on, and the farcical thing about it is that the section which pretends to stand most in terror of social relations is that which most supports them. Meanwhile the white race is not being darkened, and appears to be in no danger of it while the black race is steadily whitening, and is likely to whiten more and more by the preference of darker women for lighter men, until in time the black race will be eliminated from the continent. The present efforts of the south to attract European immigrants, especially from Italy will increase this effect, for they have not learned to pretend a race antipathy. There never has been in the history of the world any race antipathy such as would prevent marital relations. White men have shown no such antipathy in the United States or in Latin America, whether with Negroes or Indians, and equally in India, China, Japan, or the Philippines do the multitude of mestizos and other half-castes support our casual remark that race antipathy is a cultivated vice. In Baltimore a Negro was fined $50 for beating a mule, while a white man who beat his wife was set free. Now you can figure on whether this is race antipathy, southern chivalry or a native love for the great American mule. —Cleveland Daily Leader. Great (?) is the American race or color prejudice! The displacing of Afro-American cooks on all the dining cars on the Union Pacific is unfortunate to say the least. The reason given is lack of cleanliness in the kitchen. To compete we must equal or be a little better than others, as there is no sentiment in business. Virginia republicans really seem to have awakened. They have been asleep so long. Ohio republicans are not allowed to slumber—especially this year. Those Memphis, Tenn., Negroes who are opposed to the repeal of the "Jim Crow" street car law know what they want. "You bet they do. They would disgrace any race. HOWARD UNIVERSITY PHARMAC CEUTIC COLLEGE While it is not pleasant to call attention to the color question, yet in some instances it works to our advantage. Throughout the south, and in many of our northern cities, colored people are discriminated against in the dispensing of soda water and other refreshing drinks that help to make the hot days endurable. As result of such exclusion, a number of enterprising young men, and a few young women, have educated themselves as first class pharmacists and have opened up-to-date drug stores, which reflect credit not only upon themselves but also upon their Alma Mater. To young men about to enter the professional field, it might be well to call their attention to the great demand for first class colored pharmacists, such as those of Howard University Pharmacetic college. The secretary of this college is flooded each week with letters from all parts of the country, asking him to supply this or that city with a druggist. Good men receive high salaries, as most of the graduates of Howard University Pharmacetic college are either proprietors of drug stores or already hold well paying positions. In fact, so anxious are the colored people in the cities of the south for drug stores of their own that the only thing the right kind of man needs is the ability to pass the state board examination, as the following letter, which is one of the many received, will show: Can you recommend a first class colored druggist from Howard who will come to West Virginia, take examination and assume control of a drug store. He need not have any capital. Respectfully yours, Walter Hayson Dead. Washington, D. C.-Walter B. Hayson, for many years a teacher in the public schools here and for the pass few years teacher in the M. st set high school, died at his home in Kenilworth, D. C., July 31.

It is said that Mr. Green says his former position of government stamp agent is soon to be abolished and that he credits his loss of the place largely to local quondam friends. Company D. of the Ninth battalion of infantry, O. N. G., will leave for Newark via the Big Four Sunday at 6 a. m. to join the rest of the battalion. Capt. John A. McPheeters with Lieuts. Thomas Adkins and James H. Smith will be in command. The battalion will spend eight days at Camp McKnley. Guard duty and target practice will receive special training. Hempel will be at Charles E. Gordon and the editor of The Gazette registered last Saturday as "candidates for the legislature." The first named was first to do so; Gordon, sixth, and the editor of The Gazette twenty-third to register and still the last named drew second place on the ticket. Twenty-two drew for places before him. Rather lucky, eh? The trustees of St. James' church, East End, are planning for a grand entertainment to be held at G. A. R. hall, corner Doan street and Euclid avenue, on Labor day, September 4, and will be assisted by the auxillaries of the church. Miss Hattie Carroll is chairman of the program committee and Mrs. John Thompson of the refreshment committee. Mrs. Anna Smith, who was until quite recently confined at the home of her mother, Mrs. Fanny Hamlette, 310 Bell avenue, with acute gastritis, has been removed to Lakeside hospital, where her condition still continues critical. Her two sisters, Mrs. Minnie E. Ford and Mrs. Crealea Peyton, of Chicago, are in the city and will remain pending a change in Mrs. Smith's condition. Rev. Edward S. Doan, rector of St. Andrews' mission, has accepted a call to St. Thomas Episcopal church, of Port Clinton, O., and will take up the work there about September 1. He has done good work at St. Andrews' and The Gazette wishes him even greater success in his new field of labor. Rev. Doan is young, earnest, energetic, is well educated and has ability. He has a bright future. Col. W. S. Doston and Capt. James H. Starkey visited Pittsburg Sunday and were royally welcomed and entertained at the Loeni club by Frank R. Stewart, esq., a prominent attorney, that city and chairman of the house committee of the organization is composed of our most prominent professional and business men of Pittsburg and is certainly a model organization. Prayer-meetings were held at Shiloh church Sunday morning and evening, Rev. E. D. Dandridge, former pastor, did not attend. At the evening meeting Mr. Callahan announced a business meeting for this week and also stated that the names of several ministers were under consideration for pastor of Shiloh. It is said that Rev. Dandridge is organizing a church on the West Side. All persons desirous of going to Pittsburgh for the K. P. supreme session will do well to procure tickets before Saturday, 5 p. m. at the Erie passenger office, No. 9 Euclid avenue, Williamson building. Tickets good going Saturday and Sunday, August 19 and 20, returning to the 28th inclusive. Any finding it impossible to go on above dates can secure very low rates by applying before Saturday p. m. the 19th to Col. W. S. Doston, No. 703 Central avenue, or Cap. Jas. H. Starkey, No. 30 Prospect street, or call up Cuy. 332-W, or at Erie passenger office, Williamson building, Euclid avenue. The article on "Cleveland and Its Colored People" in the Colored America can magazine for last month was quite interesting but it fell short of our expectation because many of the real public spirited men and women of Cleveland who stand for the best type of manhood and womanhood were not mentioned: in writing articles of places and their people one should be very careful. Why was the Hon. Harry C. Smith not mentioned in the article? This gentleman has done more for his people, not only in Cleveland, but the state of Ohio, than any Negro mentioned in the essay of Mrs. Carrie Clifford. Hon. Smith conducts the best race paper in Cleveland and his state and yet not a word was said of him; not that he cares but we who know the man and his people, who are dignity. We could name more than a dozen people in Cleveland whose worth should have been mentioned in the article. Do not think that the people do not know anything of the places and the people of the same of which you write. We travel and we read; sometimes we know more about what you have written than you do yourself. Let us not be narrow-minded: give to each son what belongs to him—Key West, Florida News and St. Peter's Journal; Rev. E. Thomas Demby, M. A, B. D, editor and publisher. LEGAL NOTICE.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Resists Upon the Fact that It Really Does Make Slow Women Well Thousands upon thousands of American women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Their letters are on file in Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove this statement to be a fact and not a mere boast. Overshadowing indeed is the success of this great medicine, and compared with it all other medicines and treatment for women are experiments. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished its widespread results for good? Why its it lived and thrived and done its glorious work for a quarter of a century? Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has even approached its success is plainly and positively because there is no other medicine in the world so good for women's ills. The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant—not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the uterine system, positively curing disease and displacement and worsening pregnancy. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures, and physicians who have recognized the virtue in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetables to females of female ills, as they know by experience, that it will effect a cure. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, blasting (or fatulence), leucorrhea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the vagina, "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration, or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences and be restored to health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham, a nurse, to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice. It's free and always helpful. HONEY This Makes Monday Bright and Fair There is an old saying that man works from Sun to Sun but woman's work is never done. This idea was well enough perhaps. In the year 1714 when it was first made public, but if woman's work is never done now it is generally her own fault. Take for instance the matter of washing when no longer any reason to dread "wash day" or to call it "blue Monday" unless you persist in scrubbing your clothes on a washboard over a steaming tub of hot, dirty water and follow all the rest of the old fashioned nonsense the same as they used to do the family washing when Noah was a small boy. Of course if you do your work in out-of-date kind of way, there won't be any rest for you here and not much comfort in life either, because you will always be busy. Now, between ourselves, in the matter of washing clothes—what's the use of making a drudge of yourself when with a Majestic Rotary Washing Machine, which costs little and lasts long, you can almost make a pastime to be the best in the week.

Mr. Macpherson's gas bills were so quarterly triumphs "Man, they're simply exor-bитant," he remarked one day to his friend, Jerry, and appagt. "He was a man of resource, and suggested a remedy. 'Ye see, it's this way,' he said. "In the gas meter there are a lot o' we wheels which revolve as the gas pasees through the street. He summed to be registered. Noo, every night when ye gang to bed and turn out the light, ye maun just, blaow doon the pipe, and the wee wheels will revolve in the amount of gas ye've been extract from the amount of gas ye've been using. Man, you'll find it a grand saving." Mr. Macpherson practiced the remedy for exorbitant gas bills religiously during a week. Then came the gas inspector on his usual round. He examined the register, looked at, the entry for the previous quarter, and then referred to his book. Again he came to the gas station, air became one of the greatest perplexity "Whaur the matter?" said Mr. Macpherson, who was standing by. Weel, Mr Macpherson, said the gas inspector, what he been penning to your gas meter, but I find the company ye exactly £15 ltd. Ild. Gratitude Well Expressed Saulk St. Marie, Mich., Aug 14th, Mr. C.

Smith, painter and decorator, whose home is at 30% Anne street, this city, makes the following statement:—was laid with some kind of paints, and was lawful with others Sociation, and others again Rheumatism. A few of my friends suggested that it was lead poison, but whatever it was it gave me a great deal of pain, in fact, almost all canes to walk about, and even then it was a very painful task. A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I began the treatment. After I had finished, they any more canes to walk about, and even then it was considerably improved. The second box straightened me up so that I could go about five miles painless any more than I could with some pain after it cured, well and happy, without a pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go right to the spot in my case, and they will always have my greatest praise." A man's family went away for a summer vacation and left him at home with the parrot. When his wife returned she smiled at the parrot. The parrot shook itself and replied: "Gimme a stack of whites." FIFTEEN YEARS OF TORTURE Itching and Painful Sores Covered Head and Body-Cured in a Week by Cuticura. "For fifteen years my scalp and forehead was one mass of scabs, and my body was covered with sores. Words cannot describe pain.

RECENTLY RELATED President Sprague, of the Union Dime savings bank, of New York, says that he was called up on the telephone one day and addressed thus: "Is this the Union Dime savings bank?" "Yes." "Well, I want to know if a non-union man can deposit in your bank." A well-dressed man who registered at a hotel in St. Joseph, Mo., casually remarked that he never traveled without his own fire-escape, at the same time exhibiting the contrivance he carried. "In case of fire," he said, "I can let myself down from any hotel window." The landlord gravely: "Our terms for guests with fire-escapes are cash in advance." William H. Crane, the actor, says he first learned what true love is by accidentally overhearing a brief conversation between a young man and a very pretty girl. "And you're sure you love me?" she said. "Love you?" echeol the young fellow. "Why, darling, while I was bidding you good-by on the porch last night your dog bit a large piece out of the calf of my leg, and I never noticed it till I got home." Abe Gruber, the New York lawyer, tells of a southern friend who was visiting him. Mr. Gruber, wishing to be hospitable, brought forth a whisky bottle and placed it on the dining-table. He went to the china closet to get some whisky glasses. On his return he was surprised to see that his friend had filled up an ordinary water glass to the brim and was about to drink it. "Say," said Mr. Gruber, "what are you doing? You drink that as if it were cider." "Cider?" said the southerner, draining the glass, "do you think I'd take that much cider?" BITS BY THE BABES.

HEART RIGHT When He Quit Coffee. Life Insurance Companies will not insure a man suffering from heart trouble. The reason is obvious. This is a serious matter to the husband or father who is solitous for the future of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble is caused by an unexpected thing, and can be corrected, taken in time and properly treated. A man in Colorado writes: "I was a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I became a practical invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indigestion and nervousness to an extent that made me wretchedly miserable myself and a nuisance to those who witnessed my sufferings. "I continued to drink Coffee, however, not suspecting that it was the cause of my ill-health, till, on applying for life insurance, I was rejected on account of the trouble with my heart. Then I became alarmed. I found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly so I quit it altogether, and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee, I began its use. "The change in my condition was remarkable, and it was not long till I was completely cured. All my alliments vanished. My digestion was completely restored, my nervousness disappeared, and most important of all, my heart steadied down and became normal, and on a second examination I was accepted by the life insurance Co. Quitting Coffee and using Postum worked the cure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason, and it is explained in the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in each pkg. HAVE AGREED ON SEVEN ARTICLES HAVE AGREED ON SEVEN ARTICLES Peace Negotiators Made Rapid Progress During Conferences This Week. AGREE TO GET OUT OF MANCHURIA Russia Recognizes Japan's "Prepon derating Influence" in Korea and the Chinese Eastern Railroad is to be Ceded Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.—Although very rapid progress was made with the peace negotiations Monday, three of the 12 articles which constitute the Japanese conditions of peace having been agreed to by Mr. Witte and Baron Rosen on behalf of Russia, neither of the two articles to which Mr. Witte in his reply returned an absolute negative was reached. The three "articles" as they are officially designated in the brief communications authorized to be given to the press which were disposed of Monday are as follows: First — Russia's recognition of Japan's "preponderating influence" and social position in Korea, which he henceforth agrees is outside of her sphere of influence. Japan bind herself to recognize the suzerainty of the reigning family, but with the right to give advice and assistance to improve the civil administration of the empire. Second—Mutual obligation to evacuate Manchuria, each to surrender all special privileges in that province, mutual obligation to respect the "territorial integrity" of China and to maintain the principle of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations in that province (open door). Third—The cession to China of the Chinese Eastern railroad from Harbin southward. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 16.—The crisis in the peace negotiations on which the eyes of the world are fastened is approaching rapidly and the end of this week or the first of next at the least should witness the deadlock and the end, if the conference is to go to pieces. Two more of the 12 articles, Nos. 4 and 6, were disposed of Tuesday. Article 4 consists of mutual pledges to observe the integrity of China and the policy of the "open door" for the commerce of all nations, and Article 6 covers the surrender of the Russian leases to the Liao Tung pennula, Port Arthur, Dalyn and the Blondo and Elliott islands. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 17. —The prospects of peace are distinctly brighter. The plenipotentiaries are laboring with an earnestness which leaves not the slightest doubt that both are anxious to conclude a treaty. Though the main points remain to be contested and the tlenipotentiaries of each side speak 23 though the conference would go to pieces, unless the other side gave way, the spirit of compromise from an authoritative source it is now possible to forecast with a fair degree of accuracy that the crisis will come on next Monday. Articles 7 and 8, dealing with the fate of the Chinese Eastern railroad, having been disposed of Wednesday, there remains in addition to the cession of Sakhalin, which was passed over, the question of indemnity which comes up to-day as article 9, the limitation of Russia's sea power in the far east, the surrender of the interned warships, the give to Japan of fishing rights in the littoral north of Vladivostok. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 18.—The crisis in the peace conference has been reached and pessimism is again the note. But the darkest hour is just before the dawn and there is still hope. Predictions of a final rupture to day certainly will not be justified unless Baron Komura figuratively picks up his hat and announces that it is useless to proceed further. Mr. Witte, at least, will not be precipitate. At today's session, after Article 11 (the limitation of Russia's sea power in the far east) and Article 12 (fishing rights on the Russian littoral) are disposed of, he will favor an adjournment until Monday to hear the last word from St. Petersburg. The pessimism is based upon the fact that no progress was made Thursday. The exchange of views at the morning session on Article 9 (remuneration for the cost of the war) showed at once that the plenipotentiaries were as far apart as the poles and it was passed over. Article 10 (the surrender of the interned Russian warships) was also passed, not, in the opinion of one of the plenipotentiaries when the Associated Press correspondent saw him last night, because it could not have been arranged, but because, with the shadow of the two main points in dispute hanging over the conference, both sides agreed and preferred to announce it to the end. Article 11 (limitation of sea power) is also adjustable after modification. Schooner and Crew Lost. North Sydney, N. S., Aug. 15.—A small schooner which was sailing along the coast off Lingan Head was struck by a severe squall yesterday and capsized.

TRAIN PLUNGED INTO AN ABYSS Excursion Train Ran Through the Open Draw of a Bridge at Bruce Station, Va. AIR BRAKES FAILED TO WORK Twenty or Thirty Persons Were Killed or Injured—Locomotive and One Coach Were Completely Submerged—Most of the Victims Were Negroes. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 18.—Between 20 and 30 negroes, occupying the first car of an Atlantic Coast Line excursion train from Kinston, N. C., to this city, were killed or injured six miles from this city shortly after noon Thursday. The train, consisting of the engine and six coaches, plunged through an open draw of the bridge over the Elizabeth river at Bruce Station, the engine and one coach being completely submerged in about 12 feet of water and the second coach partly submerged. It is difficult to estimate the number of the dead. It is believed that every person in the first car perished, none having been accounted for. Up to a late hour last night only seven bodies had been recovered from the wreckage. The list of injured, so far as can be ascertained, numbers nearly 100, though most of these are slightly hurt. With the exception of the train crew and the promoters of the excursion, all aboard were colored. The engineer, fireman and conductor escaped. The death night. Collins Ferguson, the colored bridge tender of the Atlantic Coast Line, knocked from the bridge by the impact. Edward Jolly, white, one of the promoters of the excursion. The injured: Atkins Kinson, colored. Greenville, N. C., left leg severed, will die. Edward Forbes, white, of Greenville. The train was running at a rate of 15 or 20 miles an hour as it approached the bridge. The specific order of the road to stop all trains at the bridge whether the draw is open or not was apparently ignored. The train plunged into the abyss. Both engineer and fireman discovered the open draw too late to stop the train. The air brakes were applied, but did not work properly. The scene following the wreck was one of indescribable horror, with the shrieking of men, women and children who were drowning, struggling out of the partly submerged coach and floating in the river. MONEY IS NOT EXHAUSTED. Chairman Shonts Makes a Statement Regarding Suspension on the Parks Canal. New-York, Aug. 18.—Replying to the report that the report of digging operations on the Panama canal has been caused by the exhaustion of the congressional appropriation for constructing the isthmian waterway, Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama canal commission, said yesterday: "It is not true that there has been any shortage, or that our plans for forwarding the work on the canal were not made, when an order was issued that the building of terminals, of houses for the employees and of better commissary should precede any further work in the actual excavating. "The question of funds has not interfered with our plans at Panama in any way. Whef last the commission met to project work on the canal there was still a surplus of about $1,300,000 which would have been left over on January 1, 1906, out of the funds then availed. Shonts said that this has been expended in the purchase and equipment of two steamships. "No financial difficulties that I know of have since arisen. There is, however, scarcely a possibility that the work could be impeded for lack of funds, because the commission has the right at all times to contract against the appropriation of congress. The order issued by the commission must be visited to Panama to cease excavation on the canal was due to the fact that before the men could dig with steam shovels they must have railroads laid to carry away the dirt. It was further issued because the employees had to have a place to live in before they could be expected to work, and because a good commissary was imperative. Finally there was a need for the railroads and for the ocean shipping, 5,000 tons of which lay plunged in with no means of handling it. "This is all preliminary work which ought to have been done at the outset of operations on the Panama canal, but which was not done then. It is not a fact, as has been stated, that this preparatory work will occupy an entire year before the actual construction of the canal can be resumed. I cannot predict the exact length of time in which the preliminaries will be finished, but it will probably be three to four months." Cruiser Ran Aground. San Francisco, Aug. 18.—The cruiser Chicago, flagship of the Pacific squadron, went aground yesterday and later collided with the Bennington close to the lighthouse on Angel Isla, near San Francisco, harbor, on arrival from San Diego. Messenger Fled with $10,000. Chicago, Aug. 18.—Gus Bobbs, a messenger employed by the dry goods house of Charles A. Stevens & Bros., has disappeared with $10,000 of the firm's money and a reward of $500 has been offered for his capture. A New Counterfeit. Washington, Aug. 18.—Chief Wilkie, of the secret service, announces the appearance of a new counterfeit $5 silver certificate. It is of the series of 1899, Lyons register and Roberts treasurer. It is a poorly executed note printed on two thin pieces of paper. One Hundred Lives Lost. Sydney, N. S. W., Aug. 18.—Confirmation of the report that the Marshall islands were visited by a hurricane and tidal wave on June 30 has been received here. One hundred lives were lost. A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. The President Signs Proclamation Giving Over a Million Acres of Utah Land to Home-Makers. Another golden opportunity is offered the home-makers of America. It comes in the form of the opening for settlement in the state of Utah, which has Reservation in Utah. This great reservation comprises 2,444,000 acres, of which 1,069,160 have been thrown open to settlement by the proclamation which President Woodrow Wilson issued in 1914, and which takes effect on August 28. The mode of procedure in making the allotment of these lands is similar to that of the land-grant counties in the Rosebud Indian reservation, in 1941, when the Chicago & North-Western Railway carried thousands of settlers into the trans-Missouri country to look for new homes. The United States land offices at Grand Junction, Coll, at Vernal, Utah, Price, Utah, or Provo, Utah, are the offices of the United States above the age of 21 years, or the head of a family, though younger, widows and deserved wives may register for a home-grant. The property to be made in person by registering at one of the U.S. land offices named, except in the case of honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, who may register through The Uintah Reservation lies in the north-central portion of the state of Utah, in Uintah and Wasatch counties. It extends from the Green River on the east to Heber, county seat of Wasatch county, and includes the great Uintah Mountain Range on the north, comprising land rich in agricultural and mineral possibilities. A large portion of this tract of land is remarkably fertile and sunny, almost perpetual summer. The altitude is from 4000 to 6000 feet above the sea. In addition to the agricultural lands, there are also large quantities of grazing and land on which cattle are raised. The area is watered with great success. The lands are watered by the Duchene and Uintah rivers. The passenger from the east can best reach the Reservation via 'he Chicago, Union Pacific & North Western Line to Chicago, which is a longer route from Chicago and the D. & R. G. or Colorado Midland from Denver. There is daily service from Mack to Dragon. The apple may have caused man's first fall, but the banana peel has been working over-time since-Chicago Chronicle.
