THE SOME COLD, HARD FACTS FOR THE AFRO-AMERI- CANS OF OHIO. What Voting to Aid Democracy in the Buckeye State Really Means To Our Brothers Who Suffer in the South. "National Soldiers' Home, Virginia, Oct. 29, 1905" 1963. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I am it my duty to write to your valuable paper at this time, stating a few facts for the benefit of weak-neck republicans of your district. The voters in Cleveland have one of the greatest chances of their lives, to vote and support a member of the race who has spent his time, money and energy for the betterment of all in the state of Ohio and has done it with an unflinching valor against the greatest of obstacles. As a reward and as a worthy member of the race, who has the honor and the respect of the entire community, the courage of all good people, and especially those who are crying about the race's privileges. Would that the democratic friend and those that affiliate with other parties other than the G HON. H. A. TILDEN, Republican Candidate for Senator. Mr. H. A. Tilden, one of the leading attorneys of this county, with offices in the New England building in the city, is a candidate for the senate from this county. He is a native of this county, having been born on the bank of Rocky river; he was educated in the common and private schools of the city of Cleveland. He afterward acquired a comprehensive and practical knowledge of the mechanical and engineering trades, and worked in the mills and factories of the city. Then taking up the study of law with the firm of Morrow & Morrow, and attending the lectures at Ann Arbor, he was admitted to the bar in 1893. He is a member of the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges. But as a member of the 74th general assembly, he attained prominence in his efforts to revise the taxation laws. He ought to be re-elected in order to assist in securing better legislation on the subject of taxation. O. P. could come down in this section where we have been for the past two years, and during this time traveled quite a little and at the same time been a keen observer of conditions, persons and things. In this state the old clanage of the state constitution just what democrats in Maryland are now fighting for, cuts the Afro-American vote down to about 10 per cent. of what it formerly was, and I understand that many intelligent people including some lawyers in a certain city could not pass the election board's unfair test and hence are not voters. So you will see the power of the "dissfranchisement" election board of the south. Voters quit your work for a few moments and enjoy your privilege. "Grow" is the rule here and not the exception. Steamboats, railroads, restaurants, churches, theaters that do not allow an Afro-American trone HON. JOHN REICH Who was a member of the 75th general assembly and made as such a good record, is a candidate for re-election on the republican ticket. He is honest and capable and deserves the support of all good citizens. to even play in them! There are streets in Ghent, which is a part of Norfolk, that our people are not allowed to walk on or in, unless it be as a servant in company with a white child or as a laborer on some of the improvements of adjacent property. The ferry boats that are owned by the Norfolk, Co. are "Jim Crow." The In Union There is Strength. A. K. SPENCER, COUNTY TREASURER-CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION. HON. GEORGE W. HAY3 Renominated for a Third Term in the Ohio Legislature—A Good Man. Cincinnati, O.—The subject of this sketch, Hon. George W. Hays, was recently renominated for a third time in the republican convention of Hamilton county. He is a modest gentleman, and an earnest worker for the uplift of his race. He has been an active republican for more than 35 years, and has accomplished much good as a Sabbath school worker and organizer. Mr. Hays served, with credit to himself and his race, for 12 years as one of the five at Columbia school for the blind at Columbus. He has held the position of court crier and librarian in the United States district and circuit courts for more than 34 years. He is a 32d degree Mason, an Odd Fellow from the time that organization was introduced into this city in 1874, and is a True Reformer. town of Hampton is populated by about 5,000 inhabitants, nearly one half Afro-Americans.

Cleveland, O., October. 1905. We take this opportunity of calling to your personal attention, and we trust to your favorable consideration, the merits of Albert K. Spencer, country treasurer, who is a candidate for re-election this fall. Mr. Spencer has given to all who transact business at the treasurer's office, kind, courteous and painstaking attention—those essentials to a clean and satisfactory business administration. Upon taking office he surrounded himself with a capable, efficient and gentlemanly working force, all of whom realize that a man in public office is a public servant—a fact often forgotten by public officials. Such men deserve your support. American mobbed not so long ago because he was a republican and was able to teach his fellowman the true aim of the democratic party. An election was held there not long ago and only one ticket was in the field and that was the one of the democratic party. Now my fellow-citizens let me admonish you to stand by the republican party that has done so much for us and will do more. I have told you how thousands are disfranchised down here, let me say there are many of you that disfranchise yourselves by voting for some other party. You all know the excellent record of Hon. Harry C. Smith; you know how hard he has fought for the interest of his constituents and his people and with no motives of selfishness whatever. Therefore stand by him and the G. O. P., that has done so much for the Afro-American and will do as much more if we only prove ourselves loyal to the cause. When election day comes, think of the thousands down this way that dare not go within 50 feet of the election booth because their skin is not pure white. Just think of it—when a man down here is nominated by democrats he is in reality elected. Such is the condition in many sections of the south. The sign, "colored people only" is seen everywhere down here—in front of restaurants, on railroad cars, in steamboats, and it seems to be a growing wrong. Let me tell the Negro that does not CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1905. THE BOARD OF PUBLIC SERVICE. FRANK R. HATFIELD. Mr. Frank R. Hatfield, whose cut appears above is essentially the laboring man's candidate. He has seen but little of public life having served as counselman in 85-86 and was a delegate to the national convention in 1900. This year he was appointed a member of the educational commission by President Orth of the board of education. Mr. Hatfield is today and has been for the past 27 years an employee of the Cleveland Steel Co. being engaged in the capacity of plate roller. He is a man of rare qualities and who would ably fill the position he seeks. He is especially fitted by reason of his many years of contact with workingmen by whom he is highly regarded throughout the city. SPENCER. CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION. Clean cut, of unsullied reputation, with an admirable record as a public official, we most carnely hope that you will not only give him your vote but that cordial support which is so highly prized by men seeking public recognition.

Evers, whose likeness appears above, is the youngest of the trio seeking election as members of the board of public service, has been in the public's eye the greater portion of the past five years. He has served as county engineer from 1900 until this year, having been re-elected in the fall of 1902. He has given the county the best service it has ever received from a like official and not a question was even raised as to his capability or efficiency. Recently wild rumors agitated by the political opponents of Mr. Evers' have been published. The reputation he bears among his business associates and which he has established by his faithful service to the public will however not suffer in the slightest degree. He was born of German parentage in this city and attended the educational schools finishing with a course in Case School of Applied Science. As a member of the board of public service where his technical training and experience as an engineer his services would be very valuable in the discharge of the duties of superintending the various municipal improvements. M. M. WILLIAM H. BOYD, ESQ., REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR Mr. Boyd stands for clean administration; eliminating all the fallacies of fadism and the maintenance of a powerful political machine. No perpetual franchises will be given by his administration; the subservience of private business to the interest of the public is promised and a general reform in the administration. He protests against increased taxation without adequate returns to the taxpayers. His entire time will be devoted to the office and progressive improvements advocated. He declares the use of city department to protect official violators of the law and the gratification of personal spite by officials. Mr. Boyd is making an aggressive campaign and his candidacy is daily on the ascendency, as is evidenced by TALMAR J. ROSS, Republican Candidate for County Prosecutor. If ever a man deserved the support FERDINAND H. EGGERS. Ferdinand H. Eggers, the last of the three nominees for board of public service through his long identification with extensive local business interests needs very little introduction to the public. He has always been recognized as one of our foremost citizens being at all times public-spirited and looking for the improvement and advancement of this city. He is a man of business, pure and simple, into whose hands any large interests might be safely entrusted. He is in thorough touch with all public needs, has the required qualifications, and would ably fill the place he seeks. He was at one time a member of the city council and also a member of the state senate in both of which he acquitted himself with credit. The editor of The Gazette has received a letter from Understaffer A. W. Weatherford, of Texarkana, Tex., in which he makes inquiry for a first class dressmaker, a lady who knows how to sew, cut and fit. He guarantees a splendid field, splendid wages and a grand outlook for the right sort of person. Anyone interested should write him immediately. 1910 the enthusiasm which attends his joint debates with his opponent. It is generally conceded that Mr. Boyd would make an ideal mayor, and one who could not be "bossed" by any person or clique. He is eminently fitted for the position, and his qualifications and knowledge of public affairs are such that fully recommend him for the position by all classes. It is an unwritten law that no man, a republican or democrat, shall seek the office of a third time, and this fact of itself should elect Mr. Boyd to that office. That he will make an efficient official, no one will deny, and every republican in Cleveland should make it his duty to get out and hustle in the interest of Mr. Boyd and the republican ticket. of citizens, regardless of party ties, that person is Talmar J. Ross, for county prosecutor, at the ensuing election. Mr. Ross is one of the best known, best equipped and most genial of our public offices. As an assistant to Prosecutor, now Judge Keeler, he has for several years demonstrated beyond all question or doubt his thorough efficiency, making one of the best Cuyahoga county ever had. This is admitted on all sides. He is a sterling republican, too. Do not fail to vote for him on Tuesday next. Olean, N. Y., Notes.

[Name not visible in the image] A. J. HIRSTIUS, Republican Candidate for City Council Twelfth Ward. To the Voters of the Twelfth Ward: In order that the voters of the ward may know my attitude on questions of general public interest, I respectfully submit the following: I am 41 years old, and have been a life-long resident of the ward. I have taken an active interest in public affairs for a number of years, and feel qualified to creditably represent the people of this ward in the city council. If elected I would favor establishing play grounds for the children in congested districts. There are several streets in the Twelfth ward which contain from 125 to 150 children of school age, who at the present time use the public throughfares as playgrounds. The establishment of these breathing spots would be beneficial to give a number of residents of the ward. I would make an effort to secure the opening of dead-end streets, and the extension of such streets as may be necessary to relieve the congestion of traffic in certain throughfares. I would favor a settlement of the street railroad controversy if it can be procured on terms favorable to the city. I would construe favorable terms to be an ordinance which would provide for eight tickets for a quarter, with transfers to connecting lines, and for a third ticket for ordinance that would not give us terms at least as favorable as this, unless otherwise instructed by a majority vote of my constituents. I believe public improvements should be fostered, and we should not be too penurious in regard to municipal expenditures, but I do think that a great error was made in allowing the tax rate to go 2.5 percent from 3.65 in 1902 and 3.17 in 1905 in view of the fact that we have an average annual increase in the tax duplicate of from five to ten million dollars. Admitting that it costs more each year to meet the expenses of the city government, the revenue derived from this increase in the duplicate ought to meet the increased expenditures. While the council does not have much do with the fixing of the rate, I would my official position create a sentiment for a lower tax rate. In conclusion I will say, that it will be my earnest endeavor to carry out the wishes of my constituents, and shall be glad to receive advice and suggestions from them at all times. Sincerely yours, A. J. HIRSTIUS. The McNeal Circle of King's Daughters and Sons held a very pleasant Holloween party at G. A. R. hall on Doan street Tuesday evening.

PAUL SC THE POPULAR CANDIDATE One of the most aggressive campaigns ever conducted is that of Paul Schreiner's, republican candidate for clerk of courts, whose features are displayed in the cut above. The voters, irrespective of party ties, who stand for all that is clean in politics, recognize that in Mr. Schreiner they can safely place their trust for his past record is ample evidence of what might be expected of him in the future. The board of county examiners in their last report saw fit to pay him the high compliment of praising his conduct while administering the office THE WEEK'S DOINGS OF MANY BUCKEYE CITIES AND TOWNS.

Judge Alexander Hadden, present probate judge of Cuyahoga county, was appointed by Governor Herrick to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Henry C. White, whose death occurred last spring. Mr. Hadden is one of the ablest and best known lawyers at the Cleveland bar, and it is unanimous that his consultations that no better man could have been selected as a worthy successor of Judge White. His popularity is attested by the fact that he was nominated at the recent republican primaries without opposition and his friends think he will have a very large plurality over his democratic opponent in the coming election November 7th. Judge Hadden was for two terms prosecuting attorney of our county about 20 years ago and we never had one who took better care of the people's interests than he. Over the years he played a potent administration of our probate court for the next three years will vote for Judge Hadden. Mrs. Ezekiel Smith returned from Carnegie, where they visited Rev. E. B.

He was the only re- publican elected in the spring of 1903, defeating his opponent by some 3,000 votes. Mr. Schreiner was born in this city some 43 years ago, his parents were of German extraction and he re- ceived his education in local institu- tions. He was a deputy under police clerk Cordes and Honecker and the training he received in that capacity has secured for him the place he now occupies. Having had the necessary experience he would doubtless fill the place he is now seeking, inasmuch as the duties of the offices are alike.

Evans have closed their restaurant at No. 31 Chestnut street for lack of patronage. This is a sad commentary on those of our people who dine down town week days at least. There are enough of them to make the few restaurants we have down town splendid businesses from a financial and other viewpoints if they would only patronize them as they should. Those who did and do patronize them deserve credit. The Onward Foraker club meeting at Germania hall Wednesday evening THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY.

"Dutch" Nelding was helping out the subs, and when he was not in the lows on charge, he and Nelding included full face. Green's head hit Nelding's knee, and he went down and out, the impact being heard all over the field. He was unconscious for fully ten minutes and for a few moments it was thought his neck was broken, though, and attended school Thursday afternoon, but did not show up for practice. The trustees of the Home for Aged Afro-Americans at No. 186 Osborne street submit a report from Oct. 1903 to Sept. 1905 from which we cull the following, lack of space making it impossible for us to publish the report in full: Total receipts for the time mentioned above, $698.98; total expenses $727.73. The total indebtedness of the Home Sept. 1, 1905, was $221.44. The trustees say that much credit for good results accomplished is due Mrs. Sylvia Stevens who acted as president, treasurer and chairman of the board of managers for the past year. There are now seven inmates for whom friends have donated very generously, provisions and etc., during the past year. Lack of funds prevents the trustees from publishing name and amount of each donation. They ask that all persons who send their name and address place their name and address on the same so that the secretary can properly acknowledge their receipt.

Pleasant Wardill, Danville, Va., shook her long black hand before Prosecutor Gott as she gave vehement expression to her feelings in testifying against Henry Johnson, Tuesday, before Judge Fiedler in police court. Sixty-two years ago, when she was a pickaninny of three years, Col. Wardill gave her a diamond cluster ring worth $350. Circling around one big sparkler are seven little gems. To Mammy Travis that ring is worth more than John D's. millions. Col. Wardill was one of the wealthiest cotton growers of the south "before he war." He lived in ease and in a manner of pleasure at the sight of the cute little pickaninny he tossed her the jewel. A week ago Henry Johnson dropped into her little home at 535'5 Erie street to pay her a visit. She was ironing. The night before she had wrapped the ring in a handkerchief and placed it among the clothes on the ironing board. As she picked up the clothes the handkerchief dropped out, and, according to her statement, Johnson picked it up, felt the ring on his finger and hastily departed.

PARALYSIS CURED Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to Dr. Williams' Pink Pins: Mr. Kenney has actually escaped from the paralytic's fate to which he seemed a short time ago hopelessly doomed. The surprising report has been fully verified and some important details secured in a personal interview with the recent sufferer. "The doctor," said Mr. Kenney, "told me that if I wanted to live any length of time I would have to give up work altogether, and he told, my friends that the paralysis which had begun would in time be over. "Just how were you afflicted at this time?" Mr. Kenney was asked. "Well, I had first hot, and then cold and clammy feelings, and at times my body felt as if needles were being stuck into it. These sensations were followed by terrible pains, and again I would have come over me, and I would be able to move. The most agonizing tortures came from headaches and a pain in the spine. "Night after night I could not get my natural sleep and my system was wrecked by the strain of torturing pains and the effect of the opiates I was forced to take medicine. I was not able to terrible suffering I endured during this period I often wonder how I retained my reason through it all. "But relief came quickly when I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The very first box seemed to help me, and seven boxes made me feel better. I am no doubt about the thoroughness of care for I have worked steadily ever since and that is nearly four years." Mr. Kenney is at present employed by the Merrimac Hat Company and resides at 101 Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass. His work has used many satisfactory results, and he is a long-fellows, or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schemacket, N.Y. W.L.

Oliver Peebles Jenkins, of Stanford university, is head professor of the department of zoology. He is a scientist, and therefore a deep thinker, and consequently often prepares for a lecture. He was framed Francisco Chronicle. His most recent adventure attributable to his absent-minded propensities is at present furnishing much material for his evening reading. He was reading one evening after dinner when his wife approached and, touching him, the shirt he removed, remarked soily: "Oliver, the shirt, Mrs. Mrs.," he later, with the visitors had been in the house some time, the hostess excused herself for a moment and slipped upstairs to see what detained Dr. Jenkins. She found him in bed, calmly "On, to be sure, the Branners," he said when she awakened him. "I'll be right down. I guess I was a little absent minded.

Butler Tells How to Eat and How to Assimilate Dr. George F. Butler, medical superintendent of the Alma Springs Sanitarium, Alma, Mich., in the October number of "How to Live," gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for acquiring and keeping health. He says: "Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests with the appetite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain guide; for the palate will often induce a desire and relish for that which is most mischievous and indigestible. The old saying of 'eat what you like' is now shunned by everybody of 20 years' experience. Still, without appetite, it is a very difficult affair to subsist—for the pleasure depends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may become, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but it is quite possible to make the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, as enamored of what is wholesome and nutritious, as of that which is hurtful, and not conticible." Again he says: "The delicate should feed carefully, not abundantly; it is not quantity which nourishes, but only that which assimilates." "Be careful of your digestion" is the keynote of the doctor's argument. He says: "Health in man, as in other animals, depends upon the proper performance of all the functions. These functions may be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue change; (2) removal of waste; (3) supply of new material. For the activity of man, like the heat of the fire by which he cooks his food, is maintained by combustion; and just as the fire may be prevented from burning brightly by improper disposition of the fuel, or imperfect supply of air, and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man's activity may be lessened by imperfect tissue change, and may be put an end to, by an insufficient supply of new material and imperfect removal of waste products. "We should see to it that free elimination is maintained, for the ashes must be kept out of the system in order to have good health. The skin, kidneys and bowels must do their eliminative work properly. If the bowels occasionally become turdify, try to regulate them with exercise and proper food, such as fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry, light soups, etc. Plenty of water is also valuable, and a glass full of cold or hot water the first thing upon rising in the morning will aid much in overcoming constipation. Regular habit, cold baths, and massage are very efficacious. In case the constitution does not yield to these hygienic measures, some simple, harmless laxative may be required, such as Callia formia Syrup of Figs—a non-irritating preparation of senna in fig syrup. Laxative mineral waters are beneficial in some cases, but not to be employed continually. "Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness, cheerfulness and love, and do not forget that 'we shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that we do, or any kindness that we show to any human being, let us do it now. Let us not defer it or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again." YOU MAY NOT KNOW.

"I began to use Postum because the old kind of coffee had so poisoned my whole system that I was on the point of breaking down, and the doctor warned me that I must quit it. My chief ailment was nervousness and heart trouble. Any unexpected noise would cause me the most painful palpitation, make me faint and weak. I had heard of Postum and began to drink it when I left off the old coffee. It began to help me just as soon as the old effects of the other kind of coffee passed away. It did not stimulate me for awhile, and then leave me weak and nervous as coffee used to do. Instead of that it built up my strength and supplied a constant vigor to my system which I can always rely on. It enables me to do the biggest kind of a day's work without getting tired. All the heart trouble, etc., has passed away. "I give it freely to all my children, from the youngest to the oldest, and it keeps them all healthy and hearty."

Horse-Show Sumptuousness theatre Show Dumptousness FINE FEATHERS MAKE FINE BIRDS The horse show has been in town. With ladies on parade. Such clothes, such hats, such furs! They all looked as though they should be put in glass cases, and kept there. But it is not intended they should appear on a day; this the great week of year. The picture as a whole was that of a mass of creamy lace and rose chiffon set off by glitter of jewels, a touch of dark fur, the vivid note of roses here and there. Pink was well to the fore, and there was not a little light blue And black velvet, and real lace, enough to bring back a procession of grand dames of ye old day, when regal velvet was the dress to affect. tilted over the face of saffron and plover and standing hair.

There were reds and prunes; would be a beaver, a suspicion of a w trimming a w The shop windows the past week have had before them a deep crowd of feminine adorers, the streets fairly obstructed by the numbers. And we noticed not a few men, too, gazing admiringly at the vanities displayed; they appear to like the fine feathers themselves. Let us see if we can extract from the many a few special fine feathers—there was one exquisite gray chiffon broadcloth wrap over a white lace gown; the yoke of the wrap of gray panne velvet intrusted with pink flowers, the materials combining very beautifully. The wrap was very broadshouldered and very full, and in length did not quite reach to the bottom of the gown. To wear with this was as charming a hat as we have seen this year, a round turban of white ostrich feathers. One might suppose plume best to form a turban would be strings and loose, but it was not so in this case, the turban a symmetrical shape covered with loveliest soft white fluffiness; the only trimming was some silly tinsel across the front, imbedded in a plume. Another costume of soft coloring was warm buff of finest cloth with a long cloak of buff pannel velvet. Either the lining was of pink or there was some mysterious shading of the goods to a rosy hue, for here and now one would see salmon tints, again one would swear the gown was just a plain buff. The hat was simple, yet just the thing; a felt of the shade of the gown and cloak, a round sailor affair, tip- Some of the Fashions of the Day Some of the Fashions of the Day Brown is employed as trimming as we do not remember this color ever before to have been. It is one of the latest of the Paris fads. Personally, we prefer the touch of black, which is also a late style. We find the bit of brown on cream gowns, on those of pink, pale blue, etc.; appearing in vel- AN AUTUMN BLOUSE. vet bands of incrustations. On brown hats contrasting shades are liked, or better, delicate colors. In spite of our preference for the black garniture, we must acknowledge that a white gown trimmed with some gold-embroidery-light brown velvet is exceedingly good. For white lace walters, there is used a delicate ribbon embroidery in pastel shades, faint pinks and greens and pals blues. It is very pretty indeed. Chiffons and gances, as well as all-over laces and embroideries are brought into requisition for the upper part of the Incentives to Marriage.

Sixteen pounds is paid to the man who marries the ugliest, while but £12 is the reward for the one marrying the cripple. All women over 40 who have been flitted at least twice bring their spouses sums which vary according to the state of the fund, which was tilted over the face, at the back a mass of saffron and pink roses falling low over and standing high up from the hair. Another hat of somewhat the same coloring was a large flat with a crown of very dull gilt shading of pink, with a black base on the trimming black plumes and salmon pink roses. There were a goodly number of white lace hats, and it seemed to be the fashion to trim these rather simply; perhaps a band of gift gilton, perhaps a roll of mink and a single pink rose. There were beautiful subdued reds and prunes; perhaps the hat would be a beaver of a warm gray with a suspicion of rose color about it, and the trimming a wreath of dullest red roses and velvet of the exact shade as the flowers. One longish turban, not the frail finery of the others described, was of the shaggiest blue beaver, like very deep fur, a draped turban and the only trimming a quilled gobelin-blue flowered, green gleams in the gobelin blue. It would be just the sort of hat to choose if one required a single hat to do duty for all occasions; there was style to it and the sort of coloring affected just at the present, subdued tints and yet by no manner of means a colorless effect. We would bear witness that the finery in general seemed to us this year to have more artistic meaning than usual; it was not a mere display of a lot of money expended, the coloring as a whole was beautiful. Of the furs, perhaps ermine, or something ably imitating ermine, was most noticeable. There was much wearing of white feathery neck-pieces, too, and these were largely the same shape as the furs, large flat shoulder pieces as well as ruffs. Color was introduced sometimes, there would be a pink or blue band down the middle of the feather piece. Baby blue and baby pink seemed well restored to favor, and as a rule were becoming. Old-rose colored hats looked most attractive when the wearers had about her throat billows of white ostrich feathers, the latter softening the deep color of the headgear. Really, the horse show was like a flower show, one walked in a garden of beauty. fashionable Princess bodiceless gown We notice much fluffiness worn, and this is a boon to women, for not many possess a perfectly rounded figure, perfectly rounded arms, fine shoulders. Green does not promise to be quite so favored; brown surely is back again. Vesuvius red—a red with a leansing toward blue—is very smart, and yellow is modish. In buying the silk petticoat, one harmonizing with the suit is best. There are wine reds, and deep plums to go with the costumes now to the fore, and the plaid walst whose tones blend with the suit are well liked. The mohair petticoat is growing in popularity very fast, and deservedly so; it holds the dress out better than any other, shakes the dust off readily, is durable. Drop-skirts are not in use as a rule, the preference being given the silk petticoat with its many frills. In millinery, "dress-of-wine" is very ultra, and it is a tint of great richness, although rather trying to wear. Beautiful velvet foliage in richest rises is a feature of the winter millinery, and flowers are in great demand for trimming. Roses are the most popular of the posies, either the single flower or a wreath the approved thing. Such pretty, pretty waists are out now, lovely plaids in green-blue, bluecreams, wine reds and browns. As we mentioned above, they always tone in with the skirt, but give an air of gayety to the street suit that the plain waist lacks. Some people object to plaids, however, and we present a design for a plain nun's velling, a material now popular for the waist of the three-piece dress. It is made with silk braid arranged to form a square yoke, and the ladder-like pattern gives a desirable fancy touch. The sleeves are full above the shoulder, the cuff long and tight-fitting, the girdle is the pointed sort still most favored. left by a rich resident of the town. The average price paid is £10 to each, unless they should be unusually numerous; while the trustees are empowered to pay a larger sum when, in their judgment, it seems wise to hold forth a special inducement to procure the marriage of some particularly undesirable woman.

Hinton, Ky., Oct. 30th (Special)—It has long been claimed that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence contrary. The doctor Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years, and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease, and the kidney disease that Dodd's Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered.
