THE SOME GOOD MODELS Such heaps of pretty things as we are regaled with this winter, and as many filmy summery stuffs as there are furs and velvets. For evening, women are loth to give up chiffons and like transparencies, and the dress makers have been moved to combine these with velvet to suit the taste of the day. The evening velvets bear the name chiffon, and are not the heavy fabrics of ye olden day. In their lightness and fineness they combine very beautifully with thin chiffon, some exquisite models are shown. One of the imported gowns is a princess of pale lavender chiffon velvet and chiffon, and strange as it may seem, the chiffon apparently forms the foundation, the velvet is built up over the delicate gauze. The edge of the skirt is of the velvet, then there are velvet panels set on over a chiffon skirt body. The bodice, if of accordion-plaited chiffon trimmed with velvet in a way to fit to the form close at the waist line. The sleeves are of velvet with trimming of chiffon. The velvet and chiffon are exactly the same shade. The lingerie waists seem more delicate than ever, with the advance of winter, for the silk underslip worn with such a waist gives necessary warmth. The fancy now is to have the slip the color of the gown, toning in with it. And we would mention at once, lest we forget such an important matter, that a most attractive novelty has appeared in the way of a waist of Spanish lace, that dear, old-fashioned lace beloved of our mothers. Perhaps with a little searching we may be able to unearth a scarf or shawl of this latest fashion in laces, and lucky indeed should we count ourselves if we come upon enough to make an evening waist. One of the best Spanish lace Prevailing Styles of the Season Prevailing Styles of the Season Gray is in highest favor, this quiet color pushed into the foreground; London smoke, nickel, gull, the terms used to describe the quietest tones of the unobtrusive color—the quietest and most favored. And white is the choice for combining with the gray, the result attaining what some one speaks of as "grave chic." A soft gray broadcloth of richest satin sheen, is worn with a waist of white net, and the hat a gray panne whose trimming is a single yellow rose and one white plume. The quiet elegance is charming, all strong contrast avoided. In neckwear there is shown a liking for combining heavy and light materials, a heavy lace with fine net, very pretty chemisettes come in this style, and are worn unlined. The stores offer undersheets of net, both lined and unlined, and the short-sleeved lady, if she have enough money, may easily solve the problem of piecing out the arm covering. A cream net appears to be preferred, and the sleeves as a rule are not elaborately trimmed; a bit of shirring of the net, the use of a row or two of lace. Of course these can be made at home satisfactorily and at small cost. A pretty negligence is indispensable in my lady's wardrobe, and the one here illustrated is simple and pretty. It is made of velling and bordered with a rather broad band of ribbon, and cut with double handkerchief points, the sleeves formed of the upper ones. At the neck is a broad collar of heavy lace, and a large soft bow fastens the dainty garment. The ribbon may be of the washable sort, or tacked on so it can easily be removed when the sack needs washing. Though we have reached the point where we wonder we ever could have liked anything but the long, slender waist, we are called upon to contemplate very different lines, the Josephine dress with the waist way up under the arms. In the course of time we may grow accustomed to it again, but it will take some hard effort. The dressmakers say we shall have to, that the short-waisted Josephines and high-waisted Directoire styles are to oust the low bust and dip belts. The Empire coats have not proved so universally popular as prophesied, and we think it quite possible that the Josephines and Directoires may be classed with the other much exploited style. There are, to be sure, some very beautiful Empire gowns to be seen among evening costumes. One lovely model was of citron-yellow panne embroidered in silver and bordered with a narrow band of dark fur. The short models had for trimming folds of white velvet, the rich cream of the lace very lovely against the snowy pile of the heavier material. The season's millinery is given over to velvets and roses, though rich beavers and felts are having their day, too; and the fur hat is with us, also the lace hat. Yesterday we were impressed by a paradox; that this is the day of studied simplicity in millinery, that this is the day of heavy trimming in millinery. For instance, we saw at one of the best shops a turban of brown mink; absolutely the only trimming it carried, a modest white gardenia, the velvet petals just lightly tinted with pink. The flower, to tell the truth, looked a trifle forlorn, as though it had inadvertently fallen on the fur-bearing animal; and yet it was a relief from the overburdened chapeaux near by. As to veils, as soon as they were promised, just that soon their doom was said to be sealed, because they were bound to be copied in such cheap imitations, the streets filled with bedraped females in all stages of draggedness. Notwithstanding this drag, forboding, we find the draped vell not wholly exiled by the fashionable, and we bear witness that the fashion is a pretty one and kindly. Chiffon velvet is used for the velvet hats of the day, and not a few have for adornment a band of gold or silver braid. Beadwork bands in the lovely blues and greens and old rose are very effective; one model brought to our notice used in combination with the bead band a single rose and a dark green plume. The word "artistic" has been much abused of late years, and still we are tempted to employ it in connection with the best of the winter hats. Hussey Gould waist was of chiffon, the square neck and belt outlined in the dark fur. Lovely tea gowns in Empire style are on display, the fashion particularly adapted to a gown of this sort. And we must acknowledge that very fetching Empire evening cloaks are seen, those of white broadcloth especially good. Pink broadcloth is a favorite tisse season, the after-theater audience marked by the rosy hue wraps and headgear. And we would add that never have we feasted our eyes on such plumes as are now abroad, such coloring of ostrich feathers; there are shaded pinks and greens, lovely yellows, all tints of lavender, and most beautiful grays. We used to think the all white feathers very wonderful, now the dyers are giving us in millinery plumage a veritable feast of color. The all-pink hats are weighted down the old-rose have shaded plumes, the yellows are combined with browns. And the soft blendings of green are among the best harmonies of the season's offerings.

Tourgee at Mayville, yesterday, scarcely does justice to the colored people of the country, who were at great expense to be represented on that occasion. There were 50 Afro-Americans at those memorial services, representing their race east, west, north and south. They came from New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Illinois. Among them was the Hon. H. C. Smith, the leader of the delegation, who has been a member of the Ohio state legislature three terms who succeeded in having passed the anti-mob law which Judge Tourgee and his law has been the model upon which all others of the kind have been built, and has been most successful in stamping out lynch law in Ohio. Mr. Smith is also editor of the Cleveland Gazette, one of our leading journals. Charles W. Chesnutt, who took part in the exercises, is one of our best writers and novelists along Judge Tourgee's line. He is the author of "The Conjure Woman," "The Wife of His Youth," "The House Behind the Cedars," "The Marrow of Tradition," "The Colonel's Dream" and other such books. J. W. Thompson, treasurer of the National Afro-American council, also made a touching address on the life and services of the deceased, besides bringing a beautiful floral open book from the council. The Rev. Jesse W. Johnson, the repressed your city, while your humiliated was sent by the colored people of Chicago as a whole, and the local branch of the Niagara movement in particular, to represent them. The largest and most beautiful floral offering within the altar was sent by colored people all over the country through H. C. Smith. Two of our national organizations our press, pulpit and literary men participated in the exercises and participated in the tributes they paid were not excelled. The concourse of people gathered within the walls of the Methodist church at Mayville yesterday know that the race for whom Judge Tourgee gave his best endeavors, showed their appreciation of those labors at the large church that does not know and cannot know the whim the only account of it is condensed into the line which says, "Several Negroes came to pay their last tribute." For that reason we would greatly appreciate the publication of the above. IDA B.

Wilkins, Editor of the Chicago go Conservator, Will Help to Frame Chicago's New Charter, And His Name Live in the History of the Great City with the Names of Great Men. Perhaps the only Negro who ever enjoyed the distinction of being named a delegate to a convention to frame a charter for a city of two million inhabitants is D. K. Wilkins, editor of the Chicago Conservator, whom Mayor D. K. WILKINS. Edward F. Dunn appointed Friday, November 10, to this exited position. In making this appointment Mayor Dunn has given another exemplification of his belief and practice of the "square deal" policy. Had the Mayor taken a vote to ascertain the wishes of the people, he could not have made a more fitting selection, nor one more acceptable to the great body of Negro citizens who help to make up the enormous population of Chicago. Editor Wilkins is being showered with the congratulations of his fellow citizens, both black and white, who glory in his high honor. These men look upon the editor of the Conservator as a mainly representative of the race to which he belongs, and His Honor the Mayor in making the appointment thus sets his seal of approval upon manliness. The charter convention will be called to order Dec. 12 and the sittings will last through the holidays. No convention was ever burdened with the framing of a charter of more far reaching importance. This because here by the lake shore is destined to grow the metropolis of the world. Something of the importance of this appointment from a historical point of view may be gleaned when it is remembered that the name of D. R. Wilkins will rest in the archives of the city as long as Chicago stands. It is something therefore to be grateful for, that Mayor Dunne is that type of public official who believes in giving ALL the people representation, and has risen above petty expediency to the high plane of civic obligation, appointing such men as will do their utmost to subserve the best interests of the municipality.

Tourgee, I knew well, and always honored him and respected him for his real worth as a man and his great genius as an author and publicist. He was always on the right side of justice, the national constitution and civic rights. His "Fool's Erand" will be read with growing interest as the nation increases in strength and greatness. In fact he was one of the nation's builders and preservers. Hon. John C. Dancy. While my duties here, of an official character will not permit me to be present to witness the ceremonies in his honor at his final resting place, my heart goes out to you and the friends who assemble there as they pay the last and best tribute to him, the living can pay to the dead.

This was doubtiess an oversight. MOB VIOLENCE, THE DANGER OF THE REPUBLIC. Bishop C. B. Galloway, of the Ten- messee Methodist conference, stoutly advocates absolute obedience to law. Be says: “I say, more than anything elie, we ‘need in this nation absolute obedience to law. ‘There is great need for the enforcement inviolate of every line of every statute upon our Jaw books. There can be no excuse nor palliation for the failure to en- force what {s declared to be law. When the people of any community upon whatever provocation undertake dy their own hands and without the authority of the law, to enforce ven- ‘geance or administer justice, they shoot & poisoned dart into the very life and fibre of our institutions and imperil the foundations of the republic. There fs no crime, however shocking to the moral sensabilities of the community, however heinous or awful its execu. tion, that can justify mob violence. 1 o not believe that_a Kansas saloon should be destroyed with a hatchet ‘There is and there can be no palliation for the violence of the mob. It Is the ‘worst kind of anarchy that can be con- templated, and means the utter disre- gard of every principle of government and a violation of the most sacred ob- Uigations of citizenship.” ‘The good bishop strikes the nail on the head and speaks in strong and un- ‘qualified language the words of sober. ness and truth. Words more forceful ‘and pointed have not yet been ex. pressed, and it is time that the great and sterling minds, as well as the na- tion, shall awaken to the appalling calamity which is daily but clandes. tinely stealing upon the republic. For eign powers are witnesses of the part ‘that is being played by the insurrec- tionists against our government.

Bishop Galloway De eed Re ne Hen ake tourning: SEPARATE SKOOL LAW A CRIME. A separate school system adopted in Ohio or anywhere else, especially in the north, would be only the counter- part of disfranchisement and “Jim Crow" cars in the south Such en. actments are brought about in utter violation of our national constitution and should not be tolerated under our government. But they exist »in defi- ‘ance of federal law, and the separation ‘of the public schools in Ohio would be @ flagrant wrong and an act of injus. tice too cruel to be recorded upon the statutes of an enlightened Christian mation. School separation means degradation and humiliation. It has slways stood as a burning stigma, in- Wieting the mark of shame and inferi- ‘ority upon a race endowed with the 4nallenable rights of equal privileges and of liberty and happiness. Cattle ‘are separated and confined in box cars ‘as a means of saving the passengers from the infractions of the Srrespon- sible dumb brute. But we are not ‘Drutes and we are not irresponsible for our conduct. Why should a race struggling to commend itself before God and mankind be assigned to an undeserved and ignominicus grade ‘only through the prejudice and hatred sofa dominant class? Already we have ‘been too ions proscribed and diserimi- mated against by the very people who have claime! Christ ar the frlend, Benefactor and Savior of ai! men and God as the dispenser of all good and righteousness, yet’ they follow after ‘vain and strange gods. Nothing among foen is more inconsistent and repuls- gre to human nature than the imposi- tion of wrong and outrage upon any Face of the human family. The Baby- Jonish empire felt the touch of its own @sobedience to the higher law, but Feribution followed in line of its seif- jeaposed penalty.

We are all to be helpers of each other and all men are called to labor for the uplift of humanity. Are we doing this when we devise plans for the humiliation of a race, while others adopt laws for their apparent elevation? But degrade man, and all men are lowered in the seale of helng. Black men may advocate the expedi. ency of a separate school system as a means of affording employment to teachers of their own race. Hut in this they prove themselves the verlest traitors to the cause of elevation and cannot be trusted or depepided upon to maintain the principle of equal justice to all races. It is the sheerest folly that we shall barter away the vital and cardinal principle of equity and right only to gratify a selfish and per- sonal propensity of our natures. Let us rather suffer and perish in our en- deayor to vindicate an eternal, moral prineiple than surrender one Jot or tittle of right for mere personal ends ewe cannot afford to yield one inch of the ground which we have gained, “For right ts right, since God 1s God And right the day must win.

Its Provisions aréillegs and Un- written--The Meriwether Court-Martial. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 23,—Midship- man Minor Meriwether, jr., of Lafay- ette, La., a member of the ‘third class of the naval academy, was put on trial here Wednesday before a naval court. martial on charges that include that of manslaughter in having caused the death of Midshipman James R. Branch, jr.. of New York, a member of the class above him, as a result of a prearranged fist fight which took place on the evening of Sunday, November 5. An operation was performed on Branch the next night, but he died on the following Tuesday. ‘The first and gravest charge Is man- slaughter in haying caused the death of Branch, but there are two other charges, the second supported by two speciiications and the third by one. ‘The second charge is of violation of the third clause of the eighth article of the rules for the government of the navy. The first specification is that Meriwether applied to Branch the names of sneak and coward and the second that he assaulted him. The third charge, of conduct to the preju- dice of discipline, specifies that Meri- wether engaged in a fight with Branch. ‘The sad incident of the death of young Branch under such circum. stances has called attention to the ex- istence at the nayal academy of an unwritten code governing the student body, but quite outside the authori- tative regulations and generally in violation of them. Under the “code” every detail of these fights is fixed, the midshipmen on duty abstaining from reporting them. These facts were very cleverly brought out both by the judge advocate and in the cross-examination by Lieut. Com. mander Robison for the defense. Midshipman Fitch, who refereed the fight which was followed by Braneh's death, stated that he had of- ficiated in 19 such contests and Mid- shipman MeKittrick testified that he had taken part In nine. Detailed ac. counts were given of the arrange nients by whieh midshipmen on duty acquiesced In absences without leave and other derelictions in order that the fights might go on, and the testl mony also showed that although fre- quently severe injuries resulted from these fights and the recipients often had to he taken to the hospital, noth. ing further was ever heard of them, Interesting side lights to hazing, or “running” as it is called at the acad- eniy developed from the testimony of one of the midshipmen, Meriwether had been generally disliked, he said, because he was too “ratty,” that is, it was explained, that he did not abide Ly the rules laid down for the govern. ment of the lower classmen. Some of these were that he should never enter “Lovers Lane,” an academy walk, that he should turn all corners at ‘right angles, should not look at an upper classman and should answer mest re- spectfully when addressed by one of them, that he must never tonch the table nor ask for anything during a oo CAME WITH GIFTS. An Envoy from Abyssfhia’s Ruler Vis. Hts President Roseewslt, Washington, Nov. 23.—El Hadjie Atallah Bastia, minister of commerce for Abyssinia, called upon President Roosevelt yesterday and presented to him a letter from Emperor Menelik. He also brought gifts for the chief magistrate, ‘The president extended a cordial welcome to his isitor, who first hand- ed him the emperor's letter of greet- ing, Unfoztanately this screed was in the Abyssinian language which no one could Interpret and the president was obliged to defer the reading of the message. Then Basha presented in behalf of Emperor Menelik three ele- phants’ tusks, one being a gizantie specimen nine feet long and of great rarity and value. As his personal of. fering Basha gave the president the skin of a magnificent Numidian lion, ‘The nature of Basha’s mission was explained to the president through an interpreter. Basha already has visited France and England, but regards America as the most desirable field for cultivation from a, commercial point of view. Looking to this country as one without any possible sinister politieal designs upon Abyssinia, the emperor of that country feels disposed to favor American invgstors in the ex. ploitation of his country. Therefore Basha stated that he had with him a number of concessions of yaine for the development of the material and indystrial resources of his country which he was prepared to place in American hands. The president told his visitor that he wished him success.

Comedian Ernest Hogan's new play, at the Lyceum theatre last week is beautifully staged and costumed and splendidly given by a company of exceptional merit. It packed the theatre at every performance as it did in Detroit the week previous. The company went to Chicago from this city. Its several sopranos are very good, and the chorus one of the best we have ever heard. The company must an excellent impression in "Consolation" by Lemonier. Miss George Mickle has a phenomenal contralto voice and is known as the "Lady Baritone." It is exceptionally strong, smooth and good. A number of the musical selections of the play are compositions of Harry L. Freeman, formerly a resident of this city and director of the "Rufus Rastus." Co. His sexette, "The Lily" is a splendid thing—strong, melodious, a superior product. It certainly reminds one of the sexette from the opera "Lucia." Hogan's song, a Dream which is a splendid manner, the tenor solo referred to and "The Lily" were the three brightest gems of the musical comedy. Miss Anna Cook, Joe Jordan and others, who time and space will not permit us to mention are important adjuncts of the organization. The other characters of the play are all well taken. Jamestown, N.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1905. Early in this month the News published an alleged interview with Sheriff Mulhern in which it was stated that the latter had refused to permit an Afro-American and a white woman who were under arrest for illegally living together, to secure a license to marry, the ground in the case that would defeat the goal of justice by so doing, and also because he, the sheriff, was opposed to intermarriage of races, adding that the sheriff said that he would not allow it because he was opposed to whites and blacks in intermarrying. Meeting Mr. Mulhern in the square a few days thereafter, a representative of The Gazette questioned him and he denied all of the alleged News interview except what is embodied in the communication anent the matter published below, which he sent us recently in reply to one we sent him requesting that he make some denial of the alleged interview in the News. Up to date he has failed to do so. The sheriff's letter: Cleveland, O. Nov. 13, 1905. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Your communication of Nov. 11 received. In regard to a certain statement said to have been made in a certain paper I wish to deny the same. The only statement I made was that I did not believe in any marriages made by criminals in jail may be white or colored when imprisoned by law. Yours truly, GEO. MULHERN. Now let Mr. Mulhern be brave enough to publish the above denial in The News where it should have been sent first. According to Mr. Mulhern the News has a liar on its staff—the fellow who misquoted him in that contempelle News interview. Will be rest under the charge of lying? We shall see. MAKE MONEY!

CONSUMPTION HOSPITALS CROWDED Mrs. Pinkham's Advice Saves Many From this Sad and Costly Experience. It is a sad but true fact that every year brings a decrease in the numberofoperations performed upon women in our hospitals. More thanthree-fourths of the population on these snow It is a sad but fact that every year brings an increase in number of operations performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from operations made necessary by neglect. Every one of those patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhea, dizziness, fatulence, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not treated the fright will make headway until the severity has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. The following letter should bring hope to suffering women. Miss Luella Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "About two years ago I was a great sufferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I felt that this was my death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. I was an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumour. I was able to improve in health, and I was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation." Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from tumour, the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and nervous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. Address, Lynn, Mass. Not a Lightweight.

DAM BUILT ON LAND 70-FOOT CONCRETE TOWER TO STEM NIAGARA'S WATERS. Gligantic Mass to Be Tipped Over Into the Torrent to Increase the Water Supply of Canadian Towns. When Mr. Beaver would build a dam he picks out a suitable tree standing conveniently near the water's edge and then proceeds to chop it down with his sharp teeth so that it will fall into the stream in such a way as to stem the current and give him the depth of water which he desires for his home. Whether the engineers who planned the dam to be soon thrown into the Niagara river just above the falls had the example of the little dam-building animal in mind or not we do not know, but certain it is that the methods of both are practically similar. It is doubtful if ever before man has built a big dam as the one now towering over the cataract on the Canadian side was constructed. The commissioners of the two great free parks at Niagara, the power companies on both sides of the river, as well as the representatives of many industries, have protested against damming the Niagara near Buffalo, but this dam of novel construction is being built within 600 feet of the break of the Horseshoe or Canadian fall. Its construction and form are just as remarkable as its location. From time to time the city of Niagara Falls, DAM BUILT IN THE FORM OF A TOWER Ont., and the Niagara Falls Park & River railway, which get their water supply from a joint intake on the upper Niagara in Victoria park, have made complaint to the park commissioners that the water levels at the intake had been lowered by works of construction for power development. While the park commissioners did not feel that the complainants had fully proved their case, it was decided to grant a measure of relief, and for this reason they consulted Isham Randolph, consulting engineer of the Chicago Drainage canal, to see what could be done. Engineer Randolph advocated the construction of a dam to raise the water levels in the intake, and when he planned how this was to be done in the swift current he advised the commissioners to erect a concrete column on the river bank and then tip it over into the river, so that it would serve as a dam. It seemed a strange way to accomplish the desired result, but the park commissioners went about the work, and to-day there is a concrete column standing close by the brink of the Horseshoe falls drying out preparatory to being topped over into the torrent that plunges toward and over the Canadian fall of Niagara. In height this column is 50 feet. It stands on a trestle 20 feet above the ground level, so that from the ground to the top of the column it is 70 feet. The column is seven feet four inches square. It is built of concrete made of one part of cement, three parts of sand, five parts of brick. About every eight feet in its height a wooden wedge is inserted and extends nearly to the center, each wedge being 12 inches thick on the outside and tapering to about six inches. The purpose of these wedges is to break the shaft into six pieces when it falls. While the column will be thus broken, the pieces will not be allowed to roll around with the current and be swept over the Horsehose, for running from top to bottom through the center there is a chain that weighs about 800 pounds, and this will hold the various parts intact. When it is prostrate, the column will be 20 inches higher than the ground level and an opening will be left between the end of the dam and the edge of the river in order that any ice which may be floated down stream in front of the intake may be carried away. It is not expected that the column will be tipped for several weeks yet, as it must be allowed to dry thoroughly. When the time comes for tipping it jacks will be placed under timbers at the base of the trestle, and the giant column will be allowed to fall a little bit up stream.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS Sure Sign That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Are Needed to Tone Up the Digestive Organs. Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of utter weakness—these are symptoms that are familiar to most sufferers from stomach trouble. Too often the ordinary doctor's treatment serves but to weaken the diseased organs. The new tonic method of treating disorders of this kind does not aim to do the work of the stomach, does not demand that the food be pre-digested, but builds up the weakened organs, so that they can do the work that nature intended. Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 324 North street, Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while we were living on a farm in this neighborhood, I became generally debilitated as the result of overwork. I had serious injuries from a case of suffocation and from obstruction of the circulation, so that artificial means had to be used to restore it. After suffering for months without finding any relief, I tried a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills of which I had read in a newspaper. The first few boxes made it easier to use using the third box I felt entirely well. "I am now in excellent health and am able not only to take care of my house but also to assist my husband in a store which he has lately taken. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I can recommend them. They are so simple, so taken and so prompt in their action." Remember Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. In this way they carry health and vigor to every organ and fiber of the body. They are sent to be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y. ODDITIES OF INVENTION In Germany clocks have been run by wireless telegraphy. Portable wireless stations, so light that they can be carried by men, have also been devised by German inventors. A recent French invention which utilizes electrolating for the deposit of extremely thin coatings of precious metals is said to make possible the gold plating of lace, without stiffening the fabric. Silver is used in the same way. A machine has been invented for manufacturing cotton automobile tires. The tires are woven something like lampwicks, only they are heavier and of coarser texture. They are said to resist a pressure of 6,000 pounds to the square inch. Although not yet perfected, the Matorama telephone blds fair vastly to extend the field of usefulness of the long-distance telephone by rendering audible vibrations too faint to actuate the disk of the ordinary receiver or even the microphone instruments. An automatic fire alarm recently patented in England sounds an alarm in a hotel office 12 seconds after a fire starts in any of its rooms. The apparatus is simply an application of the fact that heat causes expansion, sufficient in this case to complete an electric circuit. Aluminum is being used in France to make alloys of brass for the construction of submarine boats. It has been found that the admixture of aluminum produces extraordinary changes in the color of the compound. A little aluminum makes it deep gold, and at a point where between five and ten per cent of aluminum is used it becomes rose-red. Over ten per cent of the lighter metal makes the alloy white. NATIONALITY IN FIGHTING. "A German—methodical, precise—folds his coat in a neat bundle and lays his hat on top of it to hold it down. "An Englishman, when he is going to fight, throws his hat and coat in a blustering, bluffing way on the ground. "An Irishman appeals to the crowd to hold his coat. The Celtic nature desires sympathy and tries to build it up. "A Scot pulls his hat down tight on his head and buttons his coat carefully. The canny Scot is not going to endanger any of his property. "An American is so anxious to pitch in and have the thing over that he starts fighting without giving a thought to hat or coat." PASSING OF PORRIDGE Makes Way for the Better Food of a Better Day. "Porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home," writes a loyal Britain from Huntsville, Ont. This was an admission of no small significance to one "brought up" on the time-honored stand-by. "One month ago," she continues. "I bought a package of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an invalid for over a year. He had passed through a severe attack of pneumonia and la gripe combined, and was left in a very bad condition when they passed away. "I tried everything for his benefit, but nothing seemed to do him any good. Month followed month and he still remained as weak as ever. I was almost discouraged about him when I got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has compensated me for my anxiety. "In the one month that he has eaten Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds in weight, his strength is rapidly returning to him, and he feels like a new man. Now we all eat Grape-Nuts food, and are the better for it. Our little 5-year-old boy, who used to suffer from pains in the stomach after eating the old-fashioned porridge, has no more trouble since he began to use Grape-Nuts, and I have no more doctor's bills to pay for him. "We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet cream, and find it the most tasty dish in our bill of fare. "Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, nothing else, then set to work and got my morning's work done by 9 o'clock, and felt less tired, much stronger, than if I had made my breakfast on meat, potatoes, etc. as I used to. I wouldn't be without Grape-Nuts in the house for any money." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." in pigs. TRAP AND TRAPPER TRAP AND TRAPPER A CAPTURED ANIMAL'S SUF FERINGS OFTEN PROLONGED. A Man That Was Caught in a Bear Trap — Ineffectual Struggles to Free Himself—Agony Ends Last winter while riding in an electric street car, I noticed a sweet-faced woman on the opposite seat absorbed In the pages of that good little magazine, "Our Animal Friends." A few minutes later, as the car stopped to take on a passenger, we heard a connection in the street outside, and looking we saw a man beating a horse which had fallen on the ice pavement. The sweet-faced woman sprang to her feet, and with the single ejaculation: "Oh! You brute!" hurried off the car and summoned a policeman. I followed to see that the fellow got all that was coming to him, and he got it, too, before "The Society with the Long Name" had finished with him. But there was just one amusing thing about this whole affair—the sweet-faced lady who pushed the case with so much courage and energy, wore on her person a set of furs which had cost the lives of 20 animals, each one of which had probably suffered far more pain and misery than the horse, over the treatment of which she had been so wrought up. Of course, had she seen those animals suffering, it would have wrung her heart, but as she did not see it, and as in all probability no one had called her attention directly to the matter, she simply wore the furs and thought nothing about it. Most of the fur-bearing animals are very tenacious of life, and when-caught in a trap are apt to live for days unless killed by the trapper or by some other wild animal. Trappers in a small way of bustiness set a few traps and are able to visit them every day, and in such cases the captured creatures cannot suffer for more than 24 hours. But even so, think of the torture endured by a wild thing lying in the jaws of a steel trap for a single night. You simply cannot imagine it, unless you happen to have an experience similar to that of a trapper I met some years ago. He was returning to camp after a long and wearisome day, during which he had had nothing to eat since four in the morning. He still had five miles to go, when, as he made his way through a narrow ravine in the woods, something jumped from the ground and seized him violently by the leg. He had stepped into a bear trap. At the first fierce grip of the devilish jaws, which drove steel spikes into the flesh of his leg to the very bone, he involuntarily screamed out with the pain. The cry echoed through the hills, and then there was silence, and with it the realization that no sound he could make would be heard by any human being. In a moment of panic he struggled violently, but he only intensified the pain by tearing his flesh. Then in spite of the torture he suffered, he carefully examined the trau IT WAS A BEAR TRAP. to see if there was not some way in which he could open the jaws. But it was the work of two men to set that trap, and then it could only be done with the aid of an instrument made on purpose. He tried to move it bodily, but it weighed several hundred pounds, without counting the chain and the heavy log to which it was stapled. In spite of the low temperature the perspiration burst from his pores, and in his agony he clenched his fists and dug his nails and even his teeth into the earth and the bark of near-by trees. Night was coming on, and a cold wind sprang up, driving before it a furry of snow which hissed among the fallen leaves. By and by he felt easier—the pressure of the steel jaws upon his leg had stopped the circulation and the limb was becoming numb. Presently the pain ceased altogether, but there was little comfort in the fact, for he knew that the leg was gradually freezing solid. Then he gathered his remaining strength and shouted over and over again, and the despairing cries echoed back and forth from hill to hill. But the only answer was the hoot of an owl, and as he realized his probable fate, he broke down and groaned. When he left camp that morning he was a strong man, but hunger, exposure and the mental and physical suffering to which he had been subjected had made him as weak as a child. Fortunately Nature had mercy on him, and he fainted, and knew nothing more of the snow which was slowly shutting off his last chance of rescue by hiding him from those who might possibly go out to search for him.
