THE Fashions for the Children G Winter Blouse and Shirt Waist Winter Blouse and Shirt Waist Red is the color for the children this year, and as a rule it is very becoming; agrees well with sunny hair, is not too startling for a brown-eyed cassie. Other colors in favor are the pale blues, a faint green and of course white. White for best is ever the taste. Pique and thin materials over colored slips are employed for these dresses, and the latter has much style about it. But speaking of smartness with reference to children's clothes, we recently, in the publication called "Style and the American Dressmaker," came across a design which seemed to us particularly fetching; it is reproduced in the accompanying illustration. The frock is red chaille trimmed with velvet ribbon of shade matching, and designed for a child from four to six years of age. As a rule, little girls' dresses are variations on just two models; the one-piece frock with long waist outlined by a belt passing through straps; and the plaited blouse and skirt. A bolero effect may be given, as in the illustration, with no undue fussiness, but generally the simpler the little dress the better. Square and round yokes give a change, and we have in mind a nice model for the child too young to don the two-piece frock; there is a square neck effect in the gimp of white, and the under sleeves are also of white; the frock is a natty check wool made up in rather wide box plaits, one down the middle of the front, commencing at the square neck, one each side starting from the shoulder; the plaits left free and full at the long waist line. Challie, cashmere, henrietta and mo hair are the materials selected for children's dresses, and generally they are made so as to be tubable; dainti ness is the keynote in the clothes of baby, too, and such lovely, lovely things are to be seen nowadays in the layette. A novelty in an infant wrapper is tuffed silk, the color whatever delicate shade is desired, the tufting affording a delicate contrast. The useful and conventional flannel wrapper is very pretty brush embroidered and the scallops button-holed by hand. A cream flannel hood and cape affor dmed with forget-me-nots is lovely, and a cream grosgrain silk cloak and cap sufficiently beautiful with no other trimming than lace. If some particular color is made use of for the particular baby, the little kid shoes may be of that color rather than white. The sofc moccasins are nice and warm, and the ones now on sale are very pretty. Here we are, as usual, devoting many lines to consideration of clothes for the girls, when our title would lead Heavy tub twalers are well to the store, and for matinee and dressy wear the sheerest lingerie blouse remains in favor. The former keeps its freshness better than the latter, is to be preferred for shopping and such matters. A chiffon blouse the shade of the skirt is ultra, and as pretty a fashion as can be; this kind of waist cleans nicely, some can even be washed. The shirt waists are plain and not too snug, an easy fit again the thing in both waist and bodice. A style much esteemed has a central box plait down the front, and double box plats at each side; the back may be plain, or have a shirt yoke below which a double box plait extends down the middle. On the front side plats pockets may be set, pocket flap and front plait ornamented with pearl buttons. A fancier waist is of fine linen, to be worn with an exquisite fine embroidered gimp. It is plaited from the shoulders to the belt, and cut down a little in a rounded collar, the neck finished with a flat rounded collar, either of white or colored linen. The linen models are copied in other materials, in broadcloth, silk and flannel. One excellent violet waist of heavy silk was fashioned on the same severe plan as the first waist described, the trimming buttons of shaded violet. And we mention here that the shaded buttons give a fine touch to the modish waist, and that shaded buckels also are in fashion. Gray is most fashionable, and we notice detectable tints of this soft color. The other day we met a dark-hairged girl In Union. There Is Strength. the reader to suppose boys, too, were to receive attention. First let us make provision for the very small laddie, the one so young as to have just got into his first knickers. Over these garments will be worn a trim little tunic (note illustration) doublebreasted, fastening down the side with sizeable buttons, open at the neck to disclose a white flannel shield. The belt may be of white kid and the stitched facing of white. If white is not thought practical, a color contrasting well with the material of the tunic should be chosen for shield and the trimmings. The Russian blouse for small boys is longer than it used to be, and for the boy over five there is a decided tendency to make use of the sailor suit. The wearer likes it better, too, is picturesque. For the winter party there may be worn over good thick underwear the pretty white suit of last summer—if it is large enough. One recently brought to our notice was of white linen with collar of pale blue linen, and there were black silk tiks in front which tied with a white cord. A fetching sailor suit had colored trousers with a white blouse, the collar, tie and anchors the color of the trousers. Now let us speak of frocks for the larger girls. For school wear there are such fine plaids this season, the invisible ones especially good. We thoroughly liked the design displayed at one of the good shops, and thought how effective the dress and how easily it could be copied by the home dressmaker. It was of blue and brown plaid serge, the skirt a kilt. The waist had a box-platted back and front, and the plait at either side the middle plait was ornamented with small fancy buttons. There was a pointed voke of the plaid, over which the shoulder plains crossed, and from the point of which the middle plait began. A green leather belt and neat turn-over collar completed the frock. An equally attractive little dress was of green and white checked tweed piped with white cloth. This skirt was made with a broad plait and narrow alternating, the effect that of a broad panel and set-in plait; there was a chemisette of white cloth, and broad bands of piped tweed, the waist had a narrow vest of the tweed piped where it fastened in the middle, a broad band of piped tweed came from the shoulder down either side of the vest, these bands decorated with small white buttons. The sleeves were puffy above the elbow, and where the long close cuff met the uppers was a band of piped tweed. The collar also was piped. PRETTY CASHMERE BLOUSE. attired in gray, the only color that given by a string of dull yellow beads. Her skirt was an invisible check, and of such cut and hang as at once to ruggest a good tailor; the waist was a soft messalime, the design simple but still elaborate enough to make one think the costume suitable for almost any occasion. The lace blouse is a feature of the winter, and as a rule is made with the elbow sleeve. Many of the stores sell undersleeves to go with these waists, but generally they are not so fine as one would like. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1905. FRESH OHIO NEWS.

Splendid Showing Made at the Memorial Services on Tuesday in His Honor. Many Beautiful Floral Tributes, Resolutions, Letters and Telegrams Sent by Afro-Americans — The Program — Participants— Other Notes. "Scranton, Pa. Nov. 13, 1905. "Guy L. Mills, Secretary, Mayville, N. Y. "Hon. Harry C. Smith and other representative colored men are to attend the funeral of Judge Tourgee. I regret that engagements in the west, long since made, prevent my attending. My race owes much to the average, and helpful work of Judge Tourgee, which we shall not forget Extend to the widow my deepest sympathy. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON." After Judge A. A. Van Dusen had spoken, Charles W. Chesnut, Esq. of Cleveland, read the following resolutions: Whereas, Albion W. Tourgee as a soldier contributed to the overthrow of slavery, and as lawyer, editor, judge and man of letters, was ever the consistent advocate of equal rights and equal justice for the Negro; and, Whereas, It is fitting that those whose rights he so ably defended should make some expression of their appreciation of his services; Now, Therefore, in the name of the colored people of the United States, be it Resolved, That by the death of Albion W. Tourgee the world has lost a brave soldier, a learned jurist, a talented writer, and a rare idealist who placed humanity above race, color and artificial social distinctions. Resolved, That we hereby tender to the widow of the deceased our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in her bereavement, and present to her a copy of these resolutions as a record of the high esteem in which we shall ever hold the name and memory of the deceased. Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, of Chicago followed and spoke briefly, also reading the following extract from one of the last letters written by Judge Tourgee in Bordeaux. It was to the president of a Chicago club. "For more than a quarter of a century I gave my best thought and energies to a study of race relations in the United States and the effort to establish conditions favorable to the enjoyment of equal rights, equal protection, equal opportunity, political and industrial by the colored citizens of the United States. "My reasons for devoting myself to this subject, to the practical exclusion of other personal interests, were: First—A love of justice and a consuming hatred of injustice sunning hatred of injustice. Second—An abiding confidence in the justice of Almighty God as the shaper of national destiny, not by physical and intermittent miracle, but by the development of popular forces SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. through the evolution of general principles. Third—An overwhelming pity for the inconceivable woes of the colored people in the United States. Fourth—A burning desire that American Christianity and American civilization should purge themselves from the shame and stain of such inconceivable atrocities as sprung from the root of slavery. Hon. Harry C. Smith was introduced and spoke briefly of the judge's great services to the race for many years, referring particularly to the fact that Mr. Tourgee had not only drawn the Ohio mob violence bill but that his efforts were of great assistance in securing its passage by that state's assembly in 1896. Mr. Smith also called attention to the fact that some of the representative delegation of Afro-Americans present had traveled hundreds, and, in a few cases, more than a thousand miles to attend the services then in progress and thus help the memory of the race's most aggressive adversary, and his friend of the last quarter of a century. The choir sang, "Abide With Me," and Rev. Dr. Brush pronounced the benediction. While the audience remained standing, Comrade Alexander Johnson, of Jamestown, sounded taps on the bugle. Among the Afro-Americans present beside those already mentioned, were: J. E. Reed, of Cleveland; D. C. Fisher of Lorain; W. H. Talbert; of Buffalo Capt. H. A. Mebane, of Elizabeth City. N. C.; O. T. Barnes, of Olean, N. Y. Geo. A. Miller, of Mendville, Pa.; R. N. Wickfield sr. and jr., and Rev. G. H. Morse, of Jamestown, N. Y., all of whom were at the head of delegations from their several home cities which included in one case (Jamestown) a number of ladies of the race. This excellent showing upon the part of our people was a source of great satisfaction to Mrs. and Miss Tourgee both of whom frankly expressed the warmest appreciation to the editor of The Gazette who, by the way, is certainly entitled to the thanks of the race for the splendid success attained for it at the Tourgee memorial services of Tuesday. He worked long, hard and most successfully indeed. Among the floral pieces were the broken column already mentioned, sent by Hon. Judson W. Lyons and Cyrus F. Adams, register and assist-ant register of the U. S. treasury; Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia; Drs. J. Shadd and A. M. Curtis, Squire Robert H. Terrell, Messrs.

Murder of Afro-Americans in Louisiana Results in Resignation of Municipal Government—In Sheriff's Hands. New Orleans, La.—The town of Kenner, Ia., is in the hands of Sheriff Marrero, the mayor, councilmen and other town officials having resigned as the result of the exposures in regard to the recent murders of Afro-Americans there. Cowan, son of the mayor of the town, having turned state's evidence and confessed, the other prisoners arrested, the local judge and town constable, told the story of the outrage. The constable, Ledoux, having had a criminal case with Andrew Jackson, he accompanied by Judge Adams, the mayor's son and a fourth man named Brown, visited the restaurant of Jackson, where the party opened fire on the establishment without warning, killing or wounding five, including Jackson and a woman named Smallwood, the later being killed instantly. The murder was hushed up, a coroner's jury gave a non-committal verdict and the news was given out two days afterward that the shooting was due to a row in the Jackson place. The sheriff, however interfered and brought out the truth Olean, N. Y., News. Mr. Anthony Willis, of Parkersburg, W. Va., visited his brother, London, whom he had not seen for 24 years.

Special to The Gazette. Baltimore, Md.—The voters of this state decisively defeated the Poe disfranchising amendment last week Tuesday, the majority exceeding 32,000. The fact that the measure would disfranchise a large number of white voters was the cause of its defeat. Gov. Warfield favored another bill which the Gorman ring rejected and the governor carried his opposition to the polls. Thousands of democrats sided with Mr. Warfield in his opposition to the Poe bill. The great majority of these democratic amendment voters favor the restriction of the colored vote, offering aFFERING of doing so. Thus the Negro is the winner because of democratic division as to the method. The democrats will have complete control of the next state senate, and will control the house of delegates by a small majority. The closeness in the lower branch will prevent the passing of another disfranchising bill. The suffrage league of Maryland did magnificent work in contributing to the defeat of the Poe bill. It was organized by leading colored Baltimoreans early in 1905. Rev. W. M. Alexander, a leading minister of this city, was chosen president, and the league began an active fight against the iniquitous measure. The Afro-American Ledger, Harry Lawry H. Cummings, the late Hiram Watty and other representative citizens of the race. Meetings were held in various churches, literature sent out and illiterate voters instructed. The funds of the league were raised by collections in churches and subscriptions from well known colored citizens. HARRY L. FREEMAN. According to all reports Ernest Hugan has an exceptionally good show at the Lyceum theatre this week, being remarkably free from the use of the usual derisive terms that are so obnoxious and distasteful to the average theatregoer of color. Harry L. Freeman, a Cleveland boy, is directing the music of the company in a manner creditable to himself and the community. Warren, O. Box, Honored The Richmond Plant in a recent issue is published the following article: "Prof. J. E. Ormes, a graduate of Wilberforce university of Ohio, and Bryce college of Warren, O. has been appointed supervising principal of the Richmond business college, of which Prof. J. H. Blackwell is president. Prof. Ormes is a young man of splendid presentment and is well fitted for the new position he assumes. He bears testimonials of high standing. The college needs to feel congratulated on its success in securing him. Prof. Blackwell has formulated a normal course for the benefit of the young men and women who need this in addition to their business training. A language course is also in course of preparation. Latin, Greek, French, German and Spanish will be taught in the near future. The teachers of this department were educated in England." Mr. Ormes was born in Youngstown Oct. 25, 1883 and is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Ormes, of Warren, O. He attended the Warren high school, and after finishing a business attorney at Warren, he was a clerk in the Pew House, of Niles, for 1903 he entered Wilberforce university and graduated with honor in the June class of 1905.

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. The Jamestown (N. Y.) Post in speaking, editorially, of the Tougee memorial services of Tuesday last at Mayville, N. Y., had the following to say of special interest to The Gazette's readers: "The colored people sent a remarkably large and representative delegation from this and other states to testify publicly to their love and gratitude for the years of effort on their behalf, of the deceased." Our people, the country over, have every reason to feel proud of the splendid showing made. It was indeed most creditable. The Post is right in its statement. APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT AND NATION. The New England Suffrage league which convened in New Bedford, Mass, during the month of October adopted strong resolutions urging that petitions be sent to the president and to congress asking that such action be taken as will guarantee equal rights and privileges to all citizens irrespective of race or color. The very fact that the United States government has intervened against outrages in Armenia, in Cuba, China and Russia, only the more justifies the course of the government in the restoration of rights to the citizens of our own country. Some of the most eminent men of the state were in attendance upon the suffrage league meeting referred to. To the thought,ful mind it is quite evident that the growing feeling of anxiety on the part of our people is not without good reason. The state of public affairs is either assuming an aspect for the better or worse. Is it for the better? Why this wide-spread perspiration in persecution and color discrimination? Why these unusual onslaughts in the fourth against Afro-Americans? The enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments was never more imperative than now. And never since emancipation has it been so necessary for our men to prove their vigilance in defending and maintaining the guarantees of their manhood rights. The spirit of the mob still widens in its growth and "Jim Crow" carism and disfranchisement are seeking to make inroads in the north. The time is at hand that our men and women who feel a concern for their race and posterity, should be on guard and should do more than at any period in our history. In the language of the eloquent Henry: "Gentlemen may cry peace, but there is no peace." Our brethren are fast passing down to bloody graves. We must awaken ourselves to active faithful duty or the cause of political freedom and justice is lost to us forever. Already we have plead this cause and have offered up our petitions to congress. But still we are called to duty—we are asked leaders and defenders to guard and rescue the sacred claims of a race fasting, bending and falling beneath the yoke of caste and a powerful southern oligarchy. "Tis hard to believe that in the face of our new civilization and an enlightened Christian religion that our race is to be made victim to the unholy machinations and ruthless hand of lawlessness and violence; but as the fear of reduction wanes, and nothing is yet done to stay the march of tyranny and anarchy, must gird ourselves as peaceable and loyal citizens to repel by moral force every invasion against our rights as freemen. Abroad our government is active in shielding the rights of Americans, let it show itself as ready and as brave in protecting the name of our government against dishonor and shame. We can not longer fold our arms upon the wrongs which are continually being heaped upon us. We must petition, we must protest, we must demand for ourselves the maintenance of those guarantees which are justly ours—ours as men—ours as American born citizens. The reduction of southern representation has been demanded as a matter of justice and fair play to the people and the country, and it should be granted. The suppression of mob violence has been demanded. The demand has been made to make it a crime against the nation, punishable in the United States courts, and providing for a change of venue in all such cases, and we ask that black men shall insist in making the demand. PREDICTS GREAT RACE FOR AMERICA. Luther Burbank, the famous horticulturist, offers a flat contradiction to the theory of evolutionists that heredity plays a more important part in THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1905. the development of character than environment. In the face of incontrovertable and preponderating proof, Luther Burbank tells a powerful truth. Evolution effects heredity, but environment controls the outgrowth of heredity. Heredity is the transmission of human tendencies, but environment develops and shapes human destiny. Character in most instances comes from influences and training and not so much from what we inherit as from environment. It was not the original intention of the colonists to dissolve their relations with the king of England but the force of circumstances and the influences brought to bear drove them to revolution and independence. With all their inherent mental tendencies the colonists might have political dependencies to Great Britain even as other countries. The spirit of liberty which quickened the hearts of Americans was awakened only through the new conditions which confronted them upon the new found land. A new system of education and religion the world inaugurated and, but for knowledge the world might never had known of a Washington, the "Father of His Country." Had Thomas H. Edison remained at his country Milan, O., the opportunity for his matchless developments in science might never have been his. High, native genius affords wonderful possibilities and upon it depends our strongest achievements. But what is genius without the occasion, without opportunity and the inducements to prompt men to deeds of noble daring? Says the immortal Archimedes: "Give me a place whereon to stand and I will move the world." Ah! but outside of terra firma he found no standing place and the things conceived in the mind of Archimedes remain unrealized. Our environments are the impelling, molding forces which lower or lift a man to higher life. Fortunately for Americans, the sentiment here inculcated is a healthy and growing principle and its infusion serves as a wholesome tonic to warm the blood of coming millions. Says Mr. Burbank: "We in America form a nation with the blood of half the people of the world in our veins. We are more crossed than any living people on the globe and here we meet the same results that are seen always in a much crossed race of plants. The worst as well as the best qualities of each are brought out in their fullest intensity, and right here, selective environment counts; and as time goes on, environment will crystallize the American nation. All its varying elements will be unified and the weeding out process will leave the finest human product ever known. What will hasten this development most? The proper rearing of children." Very fine is the above theory but it carries with it a certitude of reasoning that cannot be disproved. Like plants we are transplanted and crossed and the result is a new environment and the infusion of a new and vigorous life. The blood of all nations mingling together becomes a reproductive weeding out process which hastens on the new development. This development must begin with the children. The children must be trained to improve with their advantages, to appreciate the growing opportunities, to depend more upon the gifts of nature, to utilize every means of surrounding life and to build character not so much upon what seems to be promised through heredity as from what they shall make themselves. Through such a process the races in their destined way shall become mutual helpers and shall be mutually benefited to the extent of becoming the greatest people on earth. MORAL OF THE ELECTION I take no delight in the republican defeat being a life-long party man. My confidence in that grand old party is unshaken, but the independent vote has set a powerful lesson that must not be overlooked or forgotten. The people have demonstrated the majesty of righteous sentiment. They believed that things were going wrong, and this is the outcome of their willingness to settle politics right. I have no confidence in democracy. We shall see whether it proposes to hoodwink. But all the people in the country must not be discouraged. Learn a lesson—correct evil and come to the front again. Bossism and the cut and dried convention work is surely disapproved and it will be wise to remember that and find a right way to political business. The temperance people have been greatly confided in. Let us not betray confidence. We must now press the democratic leader and his party for a true stand and moral issues. I do not believe it comes with this victory. If it proves to be, I shall look for the heavens to fall. The foundation of civic righteousness is yet with the republican party, and it becomes the imperative duty of every good citizen to help re-entrance the party in Ohio. J. M. GILMERE. Presiding Elder of the Springfield District of the A. M. E. church. Platt Won't Regain The $685,000. New York City.—The appellate division of the New York state supreme court on the 10th handed down a decision dismissing a suit brought by J. R. Platt (white) against Hannah Elias, to recover $685,000 which Platt asserted he had given to her under coercion. “There are in the complaint,” the decision reads, “many allegations of acts on the part of Hannah Elias which would result necessarily in a decree requiring her to make restitution of what she received from the plaintiff. The difficulty is that none of the allegations of the complaint respecting fraud, intimidation, threats, coercion or blackmail is proven. The plaintiff, in his testimony in court, said that he gave nothing to the defendant, Mrs. Elias, under coercion; that all he gave was voluntarily given. It is also true that the plaintiff said that he gave large sums of money to Mrs. Elias to prevent anything of our relations coming out to the public,” but there was nothing in his testimony to indicate that there was any threat on the part of Mrs. Elias to expose these relations.” Mrs. Elias is a beautiful octoroon.

It Blew Huge Pieces of Timber Out of the Mine Like Skyrockets, 150 Feet in the Air. Monongahela City, Pa., Nov. 16.—Undoubtedly killed and probably blown to pieces, seven men are lying in the depths of the new shaft of the Brazzell Coal Co., on the outskirts of Bentleville, while another outside the mine is dead as the result of a gas explosion Wednesday.

Hoskins, mucker. The Brazell Coal Co. has been sinking the new shaft since last summer. Two weeks ago it was learned that a pocket of gas had formed in the bottom of the mine, which is 185 feet deep. Orders were given for all the men to work with safety lamps and this had been done. Three shifts of men were employed by Contractor Buzzo. Late yesterday Day Boss Farragut, six his men, without thought and deserted into the mine. They were building a concrete water ring or ditch 50 feet down the shaft in order to catch dripping water. About five minutes after the men descended a terrific explosion occurred which blew huge pieces of timber out of the mine like rockets, as high as 150 feet in the air.

Lake Ca-ta-on-la, the sacred lake of the Indians, lies ensconced, as it were, in the deep solitude of the forest which skirts the Attakapas prairie on the east side of the Teche at about nine miles from the town of St. Martinville. The beauty of its scenery and its picturesque landscapes have probably no equal in the state, says the New Orleans States. Its waters have the transparency of crystal, and its depth averages from 90 to 100 feet. The word Ca-ta-on-la means the lake of sacrifice. The following legend, as dramatic and tragical as the Biblical narrative of the death of Jephthah's daughter, gives us the origin of that name. threatened with dire calamity, the nature of which we know not, their praymeries consulted their oracles, and were informed that to propitate the great Maniton and to avert the calamity a fair maiden of the tribe was to be sacrificed to the cruel god and her soul drowned in the placid waters of Lake Cata-ou-la. The beautiful Atta-la, the fair daughter of the chief, offered herself as a willing victim to propitiate the Great Spirit. Dressed in all the finery and picturesqueness of apparel of an Indian princess, she repaired to the lake in whose waters she was to find a watery grave, followed by the weeping maidens and the stern warriors of the tribe. She glided in her light cane on the waters of the lake until she had reached the middle of the stream, and with her eyes upraised and hands extended toward the heavenly mansion of the great Manitou, she offered him her youth and her, life blood as a sacrifice to propitiate him and to avert the calamity that threatened her people. With radiant smile she then turned toward the shore of the lake where knelt the weeping maidens. She waved her hand gently to them, bidding them an eternal adieu, and plunged into its waters, to be seen no more. Superstitious persons assert that even to this day in times of great calamity and misfortune, when the moon spans the sky and shines serene in the high heavens, streaking with silvery fringe the gentle ripples of the lake, a shadowy form is seen gilding on its waters in a light candle, with hands extended heavenward, and they say that all at once, uttering a wild and unearthly shriek, the shadowy form plunges headlong into the waters and disappears, while the terror-stricken denizens of the forest answer the shrieks with howls and lugubrious hootings. From that time Lake Ca-ta-on-la became the sacred lake of the Indians, and every year they repaired to this spot to propitiate the great Manitou with their offerings and sacrifices. Into its crystalline waters they plunged themselves to get cleansed of their moral and physical impurities; into its sacred waters they dipped their amulets and arrows to avert approaching calamities and to protect themselves against the devices of the evil spirit. He who could not make this yearly pilgrimage felt despondent and unhappy, and his inability to follow the others in the saintly journey boded him no good. If while performing his immersion in the lake one should happen to drown, his memory was exercised, and his death was considered the judgment of the great Manitou as an atonement for the crimes committed by him. The lake is still called Ca-ta-on-la in the lake of sacrifice, but the great Manitou, like his Indian worshippers, is now a thing of the past. FAMOUS FOR INDUSTRY. Sobriety and Decency of Life a Mark The bauer (peasant farmer) hugs the soil, and will waste none of it for hedges. He cultivates his land in oh-long plots, each strip carrying one crop—corn, rye, tobacco, beet, mangold, turnip or what not, says a letter in the London Spectator. He works in summer from light to dark; in winter as it suits him. His fruit trees are planted along the roads and field paths which run through and separate the tillaged acreage whereof his village is the pivot. He inherits the land as his father inherited it before him, and each heritable portion is supposed to furnish sustenance for so many lives. He swinks to keep clear of the money-fending shark, and here industrialism helps. For if brothers and sisters strong past ability of support from the land, they take work at the nearest factory, infrequently several miles distant. That eases the ancestral leanness, and makes readjustment feasible. However the bauer may moil week in, week out, his linen is spotless and his clothes unsold on Sundays. His wife would scorn herself were they otherwise. Somewhat uncoath, rough, bluff, shrewd, stanch, the military authorities wisely take heavy toll of his sound lungs and muscular limbs. They know a man when they see one. And women do much of the actual farm work in Germany as a consequence. What hard-working mothers, and wives and daughters are the women of Germany! What splendid women! What does not that great nation owe to its women! Broad-boscmed, deep-chested, wide-backed, big-hipped, rarestly beautiful, but, however plain, pleasant-faced, healthy creatures, no shirring of maternity with them. And their husbands' comrades and sharers of their troubles always, yet always, it would seem, making Peter's injunction their absolute rule of conduct. Inanpronriate Ornaments. On taking their seats for the first time on the bench at the newly erected courthouse at Delmerhorst, Germany, the judges were much perturbed to find that the architect had ornamented the portico with the sculptured head of a fox on one side and that of a sheep on the other.

Class No. 2 of Cory chapel church led by Mr. Corbin, gave a very pleasant entertainment last Tuesday when the chapel to assist them in their rulers, among the numbers on the program was a vocal solo by Miss Edith Norris, a drill by the little children and a dialogue among the young men and ladies in which Mr. B. A. Brown took a prominent part. Speaking of Buxton, Iowa, a writer in the Des Moines State Bystander says: "One of the most conspicuous and progressive men of our race you will meet there is Lewis E. Johnson, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., a Christian, high character gentleman, a race man, one who would make a good representative in the next legislature for the people of Buxton and Monroe county." Roscoe Simmons contributes an article to the November number of The Colored American Magazine on "Europe's Reception to Negro Tailent." "The Way of the World" is strong, and "nice strong language" supports thoughts upon questions varied and timely. This monthly review is considered among the ablest of all New York periodical reviews. T. H. M. Lone writes on "For What We Are Thankful and For What Not." Hon. John E. Miltholl contributes his, "The Negro and the Nation." Justice Terrell's opinion on "The Negro in Domestic Service" appears for the first time in this issue. The illustrations and portraits are especially good.

The others returned to Cleveland arriving late Wednesday morning. Mr. Reed was very successful as a special committee on transportation and floral design and is entitled to much praise for excellent results attained. This is a sample of what the Leader and the News, local daily papers, are dishing up to their readers these days: "Ernest Hogan, the "unbleached" American and his big company of Negro performers, who have just finished an engagement on Broadway, New York, to be the Lyceum next week in "Russ Rasheed's uphill play of darky life. There is plenty of wholesome comedy in it, emblematic of the Negro race, which is depicted in every form from a southern moke to the ebony-hued fashion-plate of the north. Hogan plays the title role, that of a southern coon who has a pendant for getting into trouble and ridiculous situations. There will be lots of energetic singing and dancing." How do you like it? Both papers are under new management—not as good as the old, if the above excerpt is a true indication of the course to be pursued toward the eight or nine, as American and Cleveland. We sent a protest last week to the managing editor of the News and trust it will not be necessary to send one to the Leader after this publication. Does Not Absolve the Company. Columbus, O., Nov. 15.—The posting of notices warning passengers that they are not allowed to ride on the platforms of traction cars does not absolve the company from liability for damages sustained by passengers when the car is crowded and the person injured is compelled to stand on the platform, according to a decision handed down by the supreme court yesterday. The decision was rendered in the case of John W. Kent vs. the Cincinnati, Dayton & Toledo Traction Co. Kent was injured by a trolley pole falling through the roof of a car.

PAINFUL PERIODS A SINGER'S CAREER Suffer Miss Nellie Holmes Miss Nellie Holmes Mrs Tillie Hart While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should show a preference for a severe strain on a woman's vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious disagreement of the whole female organism. It provides a safe and sure way of es- sence building and danger of weak- ness and disease.

The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Division Street, Buffalo, N.Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down stress, but failed to get any relief. A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods were more severe, and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Laramore, N.D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: THE BEST COUGH CURE Cough syrups are all cheap enough, but if you should get a gallon of cough syrup that does not cost for the price of a small bottle of Kemp's Balsam the best cough cure, you would have made a bad bargain—for one small bottle of Kemp's Balsam may stop the worst cough and save a life, whereas the cough "cure" that does not cure is worse than useless.

But speaking of that habit, says a writer in the Kansas City Times, "I was sitting on a train on which I was riding, I was sitting by a man who moved his lips when he read. While he apparently made no sound he really shaped his lips to each other, and I was reading a news article and then was I. I was seated next to the aisle. After we had been reading a little while I felt some one touch my arm. Looking around, I saw a little girl seated by a woman across the aisle, was saying "Please, air," she said, "would you hold your paper lower?" Of course I was surprised at the request, and asked her why. "I was my mamma here, who is deaf, wants to be able to watch your friend's lips so she can get the news. She can tell what he is reading that way. It hurts her eyes to read print on a moving train." A happy thought, Mrs. Austin's Pancakes for breakfast. Ready in a jiffy.

I have used the Compound every month, as it mount so much pain and suffering for me, but after I had used the Compound two months I became regular and I was able to suffer from pain at my monthly periods. I am very grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. Such testimony should be accepted by the authorities, and evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing lills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the woman's gratitude of American women. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation: of the uterus, uterine wall, uterine leny), general debilitation, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's treatment, which moves such troubles. Refuse to buy any medicine, for you need the best. Don't hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about your sickness you do not understand. She will treat you with a prescription, free. No woman ever regretted writing her and she has helped thousands. Address Lynn, Mass. in Best Understands a Woman's Ils. THE WORLD OVER.

From a beautiful farm down in Texas, where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through flowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit. "When my baby boy came to me five years ago, I began to drink Postum: Food Coffee, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I was not disappointed in it, for it enabled me, a small delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing healthy baby 14 months. "I have since continued the use of Postum, for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a billious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year. Causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself. "My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off the old kind of coffee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. "In fact the entire family, from the latest arrival (a 2-year-old who always calls for his 'potie' first thing in the morning), up to the head of the house, think there is no drink so good or wholesome as Postum." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." in pkrs. MUST NOT OVERSTRAIN DURING FIRST YEARS OF STUDY. Avoid Worry Over Sore Throat—Practicing of Scales and Breathing Exercises at Regular Intervals—Much Rest Required. Mme. Alice Esty, the gifted and famed prima donna, gives in the article below, many valuable bits of advice for talented ones who would enter upon the career has followed for many years. Her word deal with the production and preservation of the voice and the system which may be employed to the best advantage. The career of a singer should never be entered upon in a serious manner until the age of 17 is reached, although training from the age of four should be productive of the best results. The voice being a very delicate organ, it is the height of folly to try to force it, and the greatest care should be taken, during the first years of study, not to strain or overwork it in any way. Never practice longer than five minutes if that amount of practice makes you tired. Rest brings best results. Indeed, it is an excellent method to A. work for five minutes and rest for a quarter of an hour. Twelve times five minutes during the day make an hour, which is quite enough for a beginning, Without a doubt the first thing to be considered in the study of singing is breathing, which is the foundation of everything. Long, deep breaths should be taken, not from the chest, but from the diaphragm. Some people are taught to breath from the chest, but I am convinced that this is bad, for the chest is thus overworked and the diaphragm does not do enough work. Miss Clara Smart, of Boston, taught me during the early part of my career to sing with my mouth closed. Do not for a moment think that my throat is closed as well as my mouth, or that my tongue does not lie flat down. On the contrary, my throat is as wide open as it can be, and when I gradually open my lips after singing two or three bars with my mouth closed, you can hear the volume of sound which comes forth is not "closed." There is certainly a danger with this method—the sound has a tendency to sometimes become nasal; but, as I said before, the pupil must never hesitate to exercise her intelligence. She should listen to herself and the moment she hears a nasal sound she should check it. Besides bringing the voice forward, this method has the great advantage of permitting you to practice without tiring the voice. Perhaps the greatest advantage of all is that you are opening up the nasal cavities, for, of course, I need not emphasize the fact that it is dangerous to breathe through the mouth. This is the only voice production I have had. All my scales I learned in this way, practicing them and breathing exercises at regular intervals. This is how the voice is placed and nothing can be done in the way of singing until one arrives at this stage. A great deal too much attention is paid, too, I think, to the sore throat. A gentleman of my acquaintance, whose hobby was singing, studied the throat in every conceivable attitude. He cultivated the acquaintance of singers and no sooner had he heard singers than he desired to see their throats. He was always dreading "sore throat," and I am convinced that by constantly thinking of the subject, he actually got it. A singer must take care of his throat, naturally, but I think it is folly to cuddle it, and I must say that I prefer to think like my teacher—"I have no throat, it is my head that sings." As to expression and modulation of the voice, it seems to me that as far as possible this should be left to the singer herself. She ought to be able to understand what the composer wants and endeavor to do it. At first the pupil must have the beauties pointed out, but by degrees she will see them herself. There is a great difference between the concert platform and the operatic stage, and, of course, no comparison. The former is difficult, but the latter is ten times more so. Unless the voice is strong, it will be useless to attempt it. Nor need I say that it requires a much stronger constitution for operatic singing, for an evening's operatic work is very trying. Dramatic ability and temperament, too, are necessary for success in this, and, indeed, in all singing. A singer's first thought has to be to keep in health and free from colds. In order to do this, pleasure has often to give way to art. Many would be astonished at the monotonous life I lead. If I am singing in the afternoon or evening, I am resting in the morning, and very rarely I have the pleasure of visiting my friends. Diet, too, is a consideration. Nothing indigestible can be eaten, and it is a well-known fact that one has to wait several hours after a heavy meal before singing. Personally, much as I should like it, I can never indulge in violent exercise. I take a long walk often, but at the first signs to weariness I must give up the recreation and return to a restful attitude. Violent exercising is bad for a singer in this way.

A story told of the late James F. Joy is at least characteristic. He is never weak in his likes or dislikes, and among the things that he bearly liked were humble people. He appears what one were not was to antagonize him, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, and had many positions at his disposal, an applicant for one of them came with gilt-edged credentials. The young man presenting them was of good appearance, finely educated, and the son of one whom the financier had respected. He was the tongue the youth would have a walkover. The older man purposefully engaged the younger in conversation. The latter relied in smooth sentences delivered in detail, and would make statement carrying an opinion, and there would be unctuous approval from his caller. This got on to the nerves of the young man, who asked an opinion diametrically opposed to the one delivered but a few sentences before. The youth was right there with his old approval. The railroad magnate showed how far it would go, and put the test: "Don't you think that this is a much warmer summer than last?" "Inquiescently." The railroad thought it considerably cooler. "Young man, you are so persistently agreeable as to be disagreeable." No Reason to Complain "The independence of the American waiter is a great and glorious thing," said Mr. Browne, who has been roaming about in this broad western hemisphere, breathing the air of freedom and an independence until he is married with it. He said the other day I said to a waiter in a cafe: "Waiter, is this a pork chop, or a mutton chop?" "Can't you tell by the taste?' asked the waiter, murmurially disinterested in the identity of the chop. "Certainly cannot.' I replied. "Then what difference does it make?' replied the waiter." -San Francisco Chronicle. Get at the Cause. Sacramento, Ky., Nov. 13th (Special)—A physical illustration of the way Dodd's Kidney Disease Rheumatism is well told by Catherine Dure, who is very well known here. She says: "For over four years I was greatly troubled with Rheumatism. It used to take me worst in my legs and feet. At times I would be so bad I could not put them on. I was so bad I am over seventy-three years of age. I think I was too old to get cured and should have to bear my Rheumatism the best way I could. But I heard about Dodd's Kidney Disease and thought I would give them a trial. But I had began taking them. Well I must say Dodd's Kidney Pills did me a wonderful lot of good. They eased the pain from the first, and to-day I am in better health than I have been for many years." Resorting to the Higher Methods. The pickpocket had been caught in the act and arrested. "What is the meaning of this?" he exclaimed, pale with indignation, an angry rage! I can explain it all. You have no right to meddle in my business affairs! Besides, I can prove an alib!"
