THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 19. Fancies in Feminine Dress One is impressed by the combination of thin stuffs and velvet, almost every good dressmaker will have a model showing this feature of the season's styles. Net and velvet are united, and with good effect, the net heavy and substantial, the velvet used as band at the bottom and rather sparingly otherwise. One excellent model of brown net thus trimmed was brought to our attention, and also a good black, made up over white. The brown had a brown foundation. A peacock-blue broadcloth embroidered elaborately in the feathers of this proud bird, was completed by a hat of . A GRACEFUL GOWN. velvet in the peacock blue, one of the small tip-tilted affairs we expect and see on every other woman we meet. Although the style is common, many of the individual hats are not at all common, still spell style. A peacock green cloth of softest, most beautiful appearance, had one feature particularly noticeable; the sleeves slashed to the shoulder to disclose cream net under-sleeves, and the vest made with a V at the neck to give another hint of the net waist. Brown, which we seemed to think quite out of fashion, promises presently to be in the height of fashion. A warm shade in velvet is most effective when employed with rich dark furs, and recently we were attracted by a handsome seal coat made with rolling fronts and a straight, loose front of brown velvet, embroidered delicately in gold. Brown crepe de chine is exquisite. This well appreciated material now comes in all shades. Crepe de chine loses none of its vogue; we should say it is more in favor than ever. The lovely dahila shades are particularly lovely in crepe; and also the lighter shades of red at present so much approved, the old rose and pinks. Yesterday a girl out for a walk flashed in by a chic costume of rose broadcloth. Icey winds may blow, snow lie deep on the ground, yet Milady appears on the street as well as in the house with sleeves cut off at the elbow. The three-quarter sleeve is a long one these days; banished the one-time wrist length, save for shirt-waist and such strictly utilitarian garment. Of course this means expensive long gloves. What is saved in sleeves is more than lost in "hand-shuhe." The fashionable long glove for evening wear is the white suede, and it is often seen with the dressier afternoon costumes. It makes one long for the excellent and cheap London glove; here in America we have to pay so much for this trifle of the toilette. To those interested in economy we would add that the long black suede glove is in excellent style, and that long glove may mean the 8, 12 or 24 button. A black glove makes the hand look small, and the suede outlines the arm prettily. We note the number of attractive hats that are trimmed with illusion. This morning we saw a very good one with a lace crown, the crown a low cone, the brim edged with white velvet; a ruff of white illusion almost concealed the brim and mounted well up on the crown; a clusted of three camellias nestied in the illusion on one side, well toward the front, and under the turned-up back was a quantity of ribbon the same soft shade as the camellias, a pinky white. A beautiful largish hat—none of the hats this year are very big—of violet pannet, was a dream. The pannet fitted smoothly, this giving a satin sheen much better than folds or puffs would have been. The shape was not unlike a longish sailor of years ago, the only trimming a ruche of white illusion. And concerning the color of hat one should wear, taste is divided between the hat that matches the costume exactly and the one that contrasts. An elegant gray gown and wrap were worn with a hat of peacock blue velvet; the effect very good. Peacock blue and peacock green are in highest favor in both millinery and gowns; the cheap feathers have not driven them out. A maline neck ruff usually proves very becoming, and not a few are seen at opera and theater. They come in the delicate shades, perhaps are most popular in white. For afternoon occasions furs take their place. Afternoon toilets are marked by rich colors, evening gowns seem best this year when in the delicate shades. Nothing is in higher favor than pale blue, pink and old rose. In Union There is Strength. of the Winter the skirt a high princess, the coat short, with waistcoat of lace showing. One meets, day and evening, both light shades and dark; there is not now such criticism of overdressing as once there was. In the current phrase, everything goes. A new shade is apricot, a pinkish yellow that, in spite of prejudice, is very fetching, and very becoming when becoming at all. It is especially good in soft clothes and in millinery. Glaring colors and combinations, we rejoice to say, are relegated to the background—are quite banished. Long may they stay away! The peacocks are brilliant, but they are beautifully, not crudely, brilliant. The insel used is not the cheap, showy sort, but of rich beauty, and lovely embroidered belings are seen at the exclusive shops. It may not be out of place to speak of the coiffure of the season and the style of comb in favor. The hair is done high on the head, with a very loose, puffy arrangement at back and sides. The preference is given to a single back comb, a wide, elaborate one. For the puff at the back many make use of the "rat"; alas, many who present a most untidy appearance, the pad showing through and adding to the disheveledness. This style is good when not exaggerated; very bad when untidy. Lovely combs may be had with an edge of gold filagree, the first cost considerable, but they never tarnish, can be handed down as an heirloom. Taken by and large women this year present a neat, smart appearance, the tailored suits to have the credit. To be sure, there are loose effects, but the lines are long and straight. The neat woman does not necessarily mean prim; today it means smart. A few weeks ago we chronicle the use of ribbons as trimming, and would again call attention to the fact that they are distinctly in style. A show window may have on display a half dozen costumes trimmed with ribbon, and to-day we paused before one filled with net evening gowns adorned with rows and rows of ribbon frills, the frills narrow and in colors. One white net had lavender frills; a pretier costume was of pink and white and one equal to this in prettiness was of blue and white. A very white toque went well with the last, its sole trimming a softuff of pate blue high on one side. To obtain the fashionable low flare for the skirt there is now in use a featherbone framework with silk flounce at the foot. It does not interfere with the natural lines of the figure and does hold the skirt out gracefully. Some dressmakers make use of hair cloth flounce, but the featherbone frame has good points. It is not dainty as possible, the bones covered with shirred ribbon. It is not so expensive nor so heavy as a much beffred petticoat, and gives the right hang to the skirt above. A smart raincoat is in box coat style, and has pockets above and below the waist. The favored colors are tans, Oxfords and olive greens, and the coats now come in heavier materials than formerly, meeting the demand for a winter wrap. We separate long coats as in fancy, a coat that is worn with different gowns. Women have got tired of the suit with its tendency for the skirt to fade and presently not match the jacket; welcome the separate warp. CARVING ELEBOW SLEEVEES IN MIDWINTER Soft materials lead, the clinging kind. White lawn and nainook waistha we have an unprecedented vogue: where silk was considered the only choice of waist, now we have the dainty and seemingly simple lawn and nainook. These materials are also forward for chemisette and undersleeve with gown of velvet or broadcloth, the white goods dainty hand-tucked. It is a very pretty fashion. ELLEN OSMONDE Stolen Thunder.

Tourgee, Held at St. John's A. M. E. Church Last Sunday Afternoon, Under the Auspices of the Famous On- ward Foraker Club, of Cleveland. The Tourgee memorial services held at St. John's A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of The Onward Foraker Club, which is a grand success in every particular, and the organization, especially its committee of arrangements—Messrs. J. E. Reed, chairman; Capt. James Starkey, A. T. Abbott and Wm. Howland, secretary—have every reason to feel proud of it. The large auditorium of the church was taken up by as intelligent and appreciative an audience of our people, with a fair sprinkling of whites as is rarely gathered together in this or any other city of the country. The genial pastor of St. John's, Rev. Ira A. Collins, presided and directed the services in a manner both skillful and pleasing, while the committee of arrangements, with the assistance of Mr. Reed, held the large audience as it arrived, and took charge of the liberal collection which it gave the church and its chair at the close of the services. The florist, Kirschner, on the suggestion of Mr. Reed and Undertaker Rogers, had furnished a number of beautiful palms, which were artistically arranged upon the rostrum. Program: Prayer..... Rev. W.

At 7 years of age he was taken to Kingsville, same county, where his boyhood days were passed. He was a student in the University of Rochester, N. Y., when the war of the rebellion began. He enlisted in a New York state regiment and was wounded in the first battle of Bull Run. While temporarily -incapacitated for military service he completed his college course, graduating in 1862, and in the same year re-enlisted in the army as a lieutenant of the One Hundred and Fifth Ohio volunteer. He served in the cavalry and spent six months in the notorious Libby and other southern prison. Soon after his exchange his old wound, an injury to the spine, forced him to resign his commission. Prior to this, however, he had fought at Chickamauga, the bloodiest battle of the war for the western armies, and was wounded again. In 1863 he was married to the splendid woman and helpmate with who death survives him, and in 1864 he was admitted to the bar here in his native state, at Columbus. At the close of the war he moved to North Carolina, where he lived from 1865 to 1881. In the reconstruction period he was exceedingly active and influential, holding office as a member of two constitutional conventions, as judge of the superior court of the state from 1868 to 1875, and as a member of a commission for the time of Judge Tuegeorget left the south his books, "A Fool's Errand" and "Bricks Without Straw," made a great and wonderfully favorable impression, making him a rich man. All of his wealth and more, too, was, however, sunk in a vain effort to publish a magazine, "The Continent," from 1881 to 1884. Since he has written 15 or 16 novels on social, financial and legal subjects, and also lectured, in addition to contributing to many leading magazines, daily papers and periodicals. --- GAZETTE. The soldier, jurist, officer and diplomat never fully recovered from the wound which finally caused his death. In 1897 President McKayley appointed him consul to Border N. France. President Roosevelt elected him to the position of consul general at Halifax, Nova Scotia, but he declined it because of the state of his health and remained at his post in France until death claimed him, on May 21, 1905. He was 67 years of age. Since leaving the south Judge Tourgee made Mayville, N. Y., his home, where on November 14 were held the final services. He touched life at many points, always with force and effect, and for a time his name was among the most conspicuous in the world of current literature. The opening and closing choruses had been carefully prepared and were a most agreeable surprise, the attack and ensemble work, of the choir being above the average and extremely creditable to its director and members. St. John's choir is certainly coming fast. Charles Sumner Sutton read exceptionally well a selection, "Be a Man," from Judge Tourgee's work, "Letters to a King." It is a splendid and most appropriate selection, and was placed on the program on the suggestion of E. K. Tourgee, widow of the judge. MISS DAISY UNDERWOOD. One of the sweetest, most soothing and delightful legato selections for the voice extant is Mascagnini's "Ave Maria," and it was sung by Miss Daisy Underwood in a charming delightful manner. It was indeed a treat. Miss Daisy's splendid voice and personality is too well known and generally recognized in this community, her home, to make necessary further comment in her case. Her's is a brilliant future as a soloist. As usual Rev. Dr. Bailew made an exceptionally strong and interesting accent, handling his subject, "Our Great and Good Friend, Judge Tourgee," with consummate skill, drawing conclusions of a practical nature eminently beneficial, pleasing and wonderfully clear. His reference to the judge's contributions, under the head of "A Bystander's Notes," to the Chicago Inter Ocean, covering a period of ten or more years, and his deductions as a result, evidenced an originality of thought which was extremely pleasing to and greatly appreciated by the large audience. Mr. William Franklin's tenor solo proved a surprise of the afternoon, being practically a stranger in our midst. He has a fairly strong and exceptionally sweet voice which handles the young voice. He has a most promising future as a vocalist. Mr. Franklin certainly made a host of new friends Sunday afternoon. Another one of the most distinguishing features of the services was Mrs. Gertrude Hawk Jones' beautiful soprano solo, "The Publican." It was a gem. Though a sacred selection it was given a dramatic rendition, showing to splendid advantage a powerful yet sweet voice under exceptional control. Our people of Cleveland are indeed fortunate in the possession of some exceptionally good musical talent. One of the most important events of the afternoon were the resolutions of respect read by Rev. Dr. J. S. Jackson which were adopted unanimously by a rising vote, the large audience, on the suggestion of Rev. Collins, remaining standing a few moments with bowed heads. The Resolutions. We, Afro-Americans of Cleveland, in regular session convened, here and now express our profound sorrow over the death of that great benefactor and friend of the race, Judge Albion W. Tourgee. In the vigor of his splendidly mature years, his voice is silenced and his forceful pen falls—an incalculable loss to our race and nation. As the greatest beneficiaries of his life work, we mourn for him as a friend whose faith never wavered, whose courage never failed and whose loyalty was free from a "shadow of turning" to his dying day. We recall with gratitude beyond our powers to express, his two score years of earnest endeavor to so arouse the conscience of the country that justice should know no color or creature. Our greatest defender of his country's flag in time of war, he was no less valiant as a protector of its honor in time of peace. To the full extent of his masterful power, he urged the nation by tongue and pen to its duty to every man whose foot pressed American soil. "With malice towards none, but with charity for all," he proclaimed that spirit of true Americanism which must inspire every citizen of this Republic, before our country shall attain to that high ideal liberty dreamed of by our fathers and fought for by their sons. May his work, unfinished, grow with the broadening spirit of the coming years: may his devotion encourage his earnest co-workers to persevere in their self-sacrificing endeavor, even at times, at times success is uncertain and defeat seems sure: may the nation whose highest welfare he loses no opportunity to serve, give heed to his words of patriotic pleading; and may we, whose travail and sorrow bore upon his heart and soul through all his manhood years, gratefully recognize his worth and work and do all in our power to make ourselves worthy of all his patient striving. Finally, may the inspiration of his noble life be as "bread cast upon the waters" returning after many days to bless the nation by bringing to the service of the oppressor and oppressed, other great minds whose aim shall be to strengthen the "Golden Rule" that it will not waver or fall in its measurement of justice to the "brother in black." Another delightful musical selection was the quartette. It was splendidly rendered, the voices blending exceptionally well and making all who had heard it with delight more. Measdames Jones and Minter, Messrs. Hicks and Scott are certainly to be complimented on their good work in "Crossing the Bar" by Haydn. With the exception of the quartette, which Miss Roberts accompanied, Mrs. Geneva Minter accompanied all the other musical selections using both the organ and piano so satisfactorily that words of praise seem inadequate to give her all the credit she is really entitled to. Mrs. Minter is a clever, painstaking little artist who always does her best and thoroughly satisfies. That is why she is so popular and pleasing. Rev. Dr. W. T. Maxwell and Rev. Dr. R. L. Dickerson were also important factors in the services and Mr. Carroll Scott, director of St. John's choir, has every reason to feel proud of that organization. The editor of The Gazette devoted the major portion of his address to reminiscences, personal and otherwise, of Judge Tourcee, giving an in-depth account of his life. Mayville on Nov. 14th, a vivid description of how the judge broke up Ku Kluxian after a five years' effort in South Carolina, and speaking at length on his career as soldier, jurist, author and diplomat. He closed, reading the following from a letter sent to the president of the Appomattox club, Chicago, by the Judge from his far away post of duty in Bordeaux, France. Speaking upon the theme ever first in his thoughts, Judge Tourcee said: "More than a quarter of a century I have 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: 1. "A love of justice and a consuming hatred of injustice. 2. "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 through the evolution of general principles. 3. "An overwhelming pity for the inconceivable woes of the colored people of the United States. 4. "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. Our portrait of Judge Tourgee is from a photograph taken in Bordeaux France, about a year before his death It is the latest and best. The Judge's Widow Writes. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazzette, Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of the clippings returned and the program of the memorial services of last Sunday which showed the grateful appreciation in which the memory of my dear husband is held by those for whose uplifting he sacrificed so much. I thank you all with my whole heart. If you could send me a dozen or so of these programs, I would like to send them to English friends, who are much interested in the race question in the United States. A Quaker publishing firm in London is contemplating bringing out an English edition of the Judge's books bearing on this session. I find I have a dozen or so of "Letters to a King" in our library. If any young man of your race would like a copy, $1 will buy one. It is good reading for any American "King." no matter of what race Yours. E. K. TURGGE Olean, N.

CHESNUTT, ESQ. A Review of His New Book—Author of "Marrow of Tradition," Etc. Recently The Gazette received from the author a copy of his latest work "The Colonel's Dream" which as yet we have been unable to read owing to lack of time. However we take pleasure in appending a brief review from a leading daily paper, the Cleveland Leader; What I like most of all about "The Colonel's Dream," by Charles W. Chesnutt, is its moderation. Writing of the wrongs of his race, he might have grown hysterical. Instead of this, he has simply told his story and left the matter of indignation or the reverse to the man who reads the book. In this respect he is a delightful contrast to the Rev. Thomas Dixon, who froths at the mouth every time he considers the Negro question fictionally and whose literary progress is made to the music of a brass band and the light of torches. Mr. Chesnutt tells the story of a New York banker, rich, bereft of wife and with a sickly son, who goes back to his southern home to save the lad's life. He takes there his northern zeal and begins at once to regenerate the town. He starts to build a cotton mill, but the enterprise is a failure because whites and blacks will not work side by side and they have the same antagonism in everything but the same chief oppressor of the colored the descendant of the poor whites whom the war and its aftermath made rich. The planters would like to see the Negro rise but are too lazy to help him. Finally he finds his task is hopeless and he goes north again where his energy can have its rightful outlet and its proper appreciation. The story has abundant entertainment. It has, too, an especially dramatic episode in the relations of old Ralph Dudley and the slave Viney. This, I think, is one of the strongest Chesnutt has ever done (Doubleled, Pace & Co., New York, Price $1.50). Mr. Chesnutt attended the "Mark Twain" dinner at Delmonto's in New York City on Tuesday evening given authors in honor of Mr. Clemens' 70th anniversary. Mr. Chesnutt was the only Afro-American present. WANTED DISFRANCHISEMENT Noticed in the President's Message—Would Annex Haiti and San Domingo—Aid Education—Sleeping Car Porter. Washington, D. C.—Senator Hepburn has introduced a resolution providing for the annexation of Santo Domingo and Haytl to the United States. Speaking of the president's message to congress the first of the week Senator Dick voiced the sentiments of Afro-Americans generally when he said: "The recommendations of the president for the correction of some of the evils in federal elections are good, but I wish violations of the constitutional amendments might also have been called to the attention of congress." Among the bills so far shot into the hopper of congress is one by Representative Brownlow, of Tennessee. It prohibits the sleeping car porter from letting down an upper berth in a railroad train unless it has been sold in advance. National aid to education is a subject that is to receive serious attention from the 59th congress. Senator Dolliver, who will be the head of the committee on education and labor, will introduce a measure on this subject before the session is far advanced. It is likely the bill will propose to give $50,000,000 to the aid of education, to be distributed among the different states in proportion to illiteracy. Bills have been introduced in the lower house of the congress: By representative Crumpacker (Ind.) to protect foreigners in the United States from lynchings. It provides that death or imprisonment shall be the punishment for three or more persons lynching a subject of a foreign power. By Representative Lamb (Va.) appropriating 250,000 for the Negro development and exposition company to be used in making an exhibit at the Jamestown exposition showing the progress of Negroes. Mercer, Pa., Brevities. Irene and Mary Rinehart are guests of Mrs. H. B. Smith, of Franklin—J. F. Reed was in New Castle this week. Ralph Richard, of New Castle, spent Thanksgiving with his parents. Lizzie Stoney, of Sharon, was the guest of Miss F. Richard. Miss M. Brown has returned to Sharon after a pleasant visit with her mother. Mrs. Geo. Lewis entertained the Misses Stoney, Richard, Fitzhugh, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Allen and Mr. Jas. Ford at dinner Thanksgiving. 2 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. Do not begin criticising, Judge Crumpacker for the introduction of his lynching-forlegends bill until you learn the reasons for such action. The first impression is not good we confess. It is said that Hon. Judson W. Lyons, register of the U. S. treasury, Washington, D. C., is to be succeeded in April. Mr. Lyons is from Georgia and will have finished eight years in office next April. The junior senator from Ohio, Senator Charles Dick, certainly voices the sentiment of our people of the entire country in his comment on the president's message published elsewhere in this paper and we thank him for it Congress has begun its annual "grind." Keep your eye on that brilliant statesman, the senior senator from Ohio, the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, about the only consistent and conspicuous friend of the race in the upper branch of that august body. Cleveland Afro-Americans did themselves proud last Sunday afternoon in so honoring the memory of our great and good friend, Judge Albion W. Tourgee. The Onward Foraker club has added another brilliant feather to its already well-filled cap. On with the good work! One of the strong arguments in favor of the federal aid to education is the recent bulletin issued by the census bureau dealing with illiteracy and containing statistics obtained in the last federal census. This showed that one-tenth of the population could not read and write and that out of every 1,000 foreign-born whites 128 were illiterate. In our case the proportion reached 444 per 1,000. Senator Dolliver's bill ought to pass congress. "WHAT NEED WE OF SUCH PEOPLE HERE?" THE GAZETTE,CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. lived here to the manor born. Fidelity to American laws has been a rather distinguishing feature among them. Unobtrusive and rather submissive, reticent, and at times vindictive, yet they are worthy and conciliatory and deserved not only our sympathy, but the care and protection of the government. THE EVIL AND DISGUST OF GUM CHEWING. More than three decades or more, a committee of the medical fraternity of Boston, after a thorough and exhaustive investigation of the habit of gum chewing, the practice was declared to be a hurful evil, tending to impair the salivary glands, to affect the nervous impulse and to derange the facial expression in its predisposition to a symmetrical development. Gum chewing not only impairs the normal action of the salivary glands, but it unifies them for the healthy performance of their functions. The cow chews its cud because it is the nature of the animal to do so, but it was never ordained that human beings should transform their habits in emulation of the beast. It is a fact that we thoughtlessly allow ourselves to fall into practices that culminate in widespread mischief. The young may be warned and persons of riper years may hear words of warning and still persist in the evil, but a close observer may discover that the practice causes a gradual wasting of the system. The salivary glands are unduly excited and in time of digestion the acidity of the stomach is neutralized and the parisital movement is seriously interrupted. This movement being impaired digestion is delayed and the generation of microbes becomes quite possible. In the same way, too, the nervous impulse is affected, from which is caused other maladies. The stomach, the nerves and the circulatory organs are all mutually disturbed. Instead of enjoying that natural quietude of mind, there is a feeling of unrest that strengthens the propensity of the evil, until the victim becomes a confirmed slave to one of the most disgusting habits known among an enlightened people. The beauty of the mouth and chin are destroyed and the long-jawed and angular face has become the prominent features of the physiognomy. Long, scrawny, ugly lines have now become the expression to the once beautiful young girl, unable to account for the visible change in her countenance. Pevish and frettful for almost any little annoyance, she becomes repulsive with no little reason. We meet these victims in public places, in the churches and the theaters on the railroads and in the street cars, on the streets and in the public parks, like the cow chewing her cud. Incessantly and to the disgust of the more refined, the gum chewer chews with empty gaze as though unconscious and unseen by the curious onlookers around. Eternally that jaw is wagging in seeming delight of a practice which awakens only disgust to those who have the merest regard for the rules of propriety. The habit is not only disgusting and distasteful, but it betrays every manifestation of unpardonable rudeness. Beaver Valley Pa Notes Beaver Valley, Pa., Notes.

The ladies of Cory chapel held a very successful benefit social for Mrs. Maria Hawkins at Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Jackson's, 55 Linden street, on the evening of Nov. 28. An interesting program was rendered. Among the many donations were: 20 pounds of sugar, 8 pounds of beans, 6 pounds of rice, 5 cans of jam and peas, corn, salmon, tomatoes, one bushel of potatoes, one-half peck of onions, and other groceries for all of which the committee, Mrs. J.

Understake James Rogers and Messrs. Warrick and Jackson of the East End who used their wagons to move the gifts from the school to the Home. Monday's Cleveland Plain Dealer said: "Speakers at the memorial service to Judge Allison W. Tourgee, late consul to Bordeaux, held in St. John's A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon alluded especially to Judge Tourgee as the friend of the Negro and one of the vital forces in the reconstruction of the south. Addresses were made by Rev H. C. Balle and Hon. Harry C. Smith. A communication from Mrs. Tourgee was read also. Mr. Smith in his biography referred to Judge Tourgee as one of the chief figures of the reconstruction movement in the south and stated that Judge Tourgee broke up the famous "Ku Klux Klan." Tourgee joined the band himself, said Mr. Smith, and as a member became acquainted with the men by attending their meetings. He secured warrants against the whitecappers, and as judge of the superior court of South Carolina he drove the gang from the state. Mr. Smith was a personal friend of Tourgee's and was able to illustrate his biographical remarks with much interesting reminiscence." Cradle: Roll Rally. The cradle roll rally at Cory chapel Thanksgiving evening was the grandest thing of the kind ever held in Cleveland. Cory is the only one of our S. S. that has a cradle roll. The opening speech on our large hearted men and women of the church, by Rev. R. L. Dickerson, was fine, and full of good thoughts and encouragement. He was followed by the Hon. Harry C. Smith who spoke on the life and death of our beloved friend Judge Tourgee. It was of great benefit to those interested in the welfare and doings of our race, and if the advise he gave to the old as well as the young was taken as given, it would be much to wish for. In the young men and women, of not only the present, but future generations, if we had a few more men like Mr. Smith who were interested in our people as to their moral and social qualifications and the betterment of their condition as a race, we would feel that the light of morality was dawning for them. He also spoke of his love for the babies and their place in this great universe. The remarks by Mr. F. W. Corbin, the superintendent, just before presenting each of the babies with a silver dollar, was very good and showed his great interest in this rising generation. There were 19 babies present, each of whom was the prettiest, cutest and neatest dressed as every one received the same tiara and a small American flag, which wounded him in this encounter's wife. The choir sang some of its beautiful songs and closed with "America," after which Mr. Johnson, the photographer, took the babies' pictures. The Thanksgiving dinner was the finest ever served in any of our churches of the city. There was plenty of everything and you got all you could eat for 25 cents. There were 27 free dinners served to the aged and children; $21 given away to the babies and $16 cleared to turn over to the S. S. treasurer for Christmas. This is the result of selling 591 tickets at 10 cents each. 709 Central Avenue Send Immigrants Where Needed. New York, Dec. 7.—The statement that over a million immigrants have come to the United States during the past year and that the south and the west, the sections of the country which needed and wished for these new citizens did not get them, was made yesterday by Frank P. Sargent, United States commissioner general of immigration, in a speech before the United States House of Representatives. Mr. Sargent proposed that the United States hereafter take steps to distribute immigrants according to the needs of the country. Not Entitled to Land Washington, Dec. 7.—Justice Duell has rendered a decision affirming the judgment of the district supreme court in the case of Willis C. West against Secretary Hitchcock. West having married an Indian woman, claimed that he thereby became "by adoption" a member of the Choctaw tribe, to which the woman belonged, and was entitled to an allotment of land in Indian territory. The secretary denied West's application to the ground that the alleged adoption had never received the approval of the interior department. Female Bandit Surrendered. Girard, Kan., Dec. 7—Mrs. Ina Berry who, since Friday of a Frisco railway coach on the tracks here, was removed yesterday shortly before noon, after she had been partially overcome by the fumes of amonia. A bundle of rags saturated with the drug had been pushed through the window of the toilet room. Before surrendering Mrs. Berry fired one shot at her captors. Of Interest to Soldiers' Widows. Washington, Dec. 7. —The restoration of pensions to remarried widows after their second husband has died or the woman has been divorced through no fault of herself, is provided for in a bill introduced in the senate yesterday by Senator Burrows. The bill prescribed that the woman shall have the same pension as she received as the widow of a soldier, providing the death of the man she had remarried left her in want. Kenyon College Receives Judgment. Columbus, O., Dec. 6. —Kenyon college was given a judgment in Judge Dillon's court Monday afternoon in the sum of $4,422.42.

One of the machines exhibited at the dairy show recently held in London ‘was a neat contrivance by which but- ter could be made out of fresh milk in 60 seconds at the tea table. ‘Thewest'sgold output may be doubled by the invention of a resident of Colo- rado City. It is a simple machine for saving flour gold, is run by a gasoline engine, and may be taken anywhere Experiments on twice-treated tailings or mine refuse show an accumulation of five and one-half pounds of gold in ten days. An ingenious respiratory apparatus for the use of firemen has been in- vented by Charles E. Chapin, of Berke- ley, Cal, It consists of a hood lined with oiled sill to cover the head, and an air cylinder whicn is strapped on the back. ‘The cylinder js divided into three chambers, carrying under a pressure that can be regulated enough air to Inst an hour, The best paper cloth so far pro- duced seems to be that made by a patented process used in Saxony. One kind is spun and woven from narrow Strips of paper; a second variety con- tains cotton with the paper; and a third grade—the best—results from a mixture of wool and paper. The new material—though not so strong and durable as ordinary cloth — yields cheap, serviceable, and even washable clothing. An electric generator to be drives by the draught of a locomotive is a curious recent invention. The entire apparatus comprises a fan motor placed in the smoke stack, an electrio ‘generator and auxiliary flues near the bottom of the boiler. ‘The theory fs that under certain conditions tho Graught from the smoke box will sup- ply the fan with considerable power. ‘This will operate the generator, cause fan electric current te heat the aux- fliary tubes, and thus deliver the ex- cess of energy of the exhaust to heat the water in the “dead” space of the boiler. THE “COFFEE HEART.” It Is as Dangerous as the Tobacco or Whisky Heart. “Coffee heart” is common to many coffze users and is Hable to send the owner to his or her long home It the drug is persisted i. You can run 30 or 40 yards and find out if your heart fs troubled. A lady who was once a ae of the “coffee heart” writes from Oregon: “L have been a habitual user of cof- fee ali my life, and have suffered very much in regent years from ailments which I became satisfied were direct- ly due to the polson in the beverage, such as torpid liver and indigestion, whien in turn made my complexion blotchy and muddy. “Then my heart became affected. It ‘would beat most rapidly just after 1 drank my coffee, and go below normal ‘as the coffee effect wore off.” Some- times my pulse would go as high as 187 beats to the minute. My family were ‘greatly alarmed at my condition and at last mother persuaded me to begin the use of Postum Food Coffee. “1 gave up the old coffee entirels ‘and-ebsolutely, and made Postum my sole table beverage. This was 6 months ago, and all my ills, the indi- gestion, inactive liver and rickety heart action, have passed away, and my complexion has become clear and natural, The improvement set in very soon after I made the change, just as soon as the coffee yoison had time to work out of my sysiem, “My husband has also been greatly benefited by the use of Postum, and we find that a simple oreakfast with Pos- tum fs as satisfying and more strength- ening than the old heavier meal we used to have with the other kind of coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Government Experts at Work Con- structing “Sand Catchers" to Pre- vent the Total Destruction of the End of Cape Cod, ‘When the mighty forces of nature combine to rob a man of his heritage, the latter sets his skill and learning ta Work to stay the relentless destroying hand, There ts a heroic battle on al the present time away down on Cape Cod, and as to the outcome of the strug: gle ‘with the mighty and relentless ‘ocean one can only conjecture, but, as human skill has so often conquered na. ture before, it is more than probable that in this instance the government engineer in charge of the work will be Victorious. Storm and tides have re- Peatedly swept through the sand dunes, and have already made an island of that part of the tip end of Cape Cod between Abel hill and the Point light, and where the destruction will stop 4€ something 15 not done is hard to tell, And not only is the land being swallowed up, but the heading waters are carrying the sand and depositing it in the harbor at that point. In view of all this the government has a large force of men, under the di- rection of Edward Atkins, of the United States engineers’ office of Bos: ton, coustructing “sand catchers” to hold the shifting soil in its place. Ever since the memorable gale of November, 1898, when the sea broke through the beaches at Abel hill, the neod of the “sand catchers" has become more and more apparent. ‘Phese “sand catchers” are construct: ed of heavy planking, bolted together and laid in the beach in such a way as as to prevent the waters lifting tne sands and carrying them off. It is ex- pensive work, even with planking, and already over’ $5,000 have been ex- pended in the work and only a begin- hing has been made. ‘The “sand catch- ers” are placed about 25 feet apart from low water mark to the sand @unes, and along the shore great boxes 60 fect in length of varying width are built and filled with sand. ‘This makes quite a solid bulkhead and the boxes being practically water tight, the sand cannot escape. In speaking of the work, the engineer said that the only permanent way of doing the work was by constructing stone bulkheads, Tt seems that the ice of the winter causes the greatest amount of trouble. Forming on the shore as it dees, it cuts great holes in the beaches when At moves with the tides. and the sea then continues the work of destruc- ‘tion by boring under the sand dunes ‘and washing them away. The high tides then rush over the beaches, a channel is quickly formed and_thou- sands of tous of sand are carried to the low lands and the harbor beyond and deposited there. Engineer Atkins is not altogether certain of the wisdom of building the Dulkheads of wood, for says he: “The heavy seas kicked up by the “winter gales, together with the great a — mountains of ice which pile up along the coast, damage the wooden sand catchers Considerably. What ought to be built are stone bulkheads. Such bulkheads would last for all time if properly constructed, and neither the Sea nor ice pack would have any very damaging effect on it.” ‘This opinion of the engineer gener- ally prevails, and it is believed that it would be cheaper in the end for the government to put in the permanent bulkheads of stone. Grave doubts are expressed among the old sea captains fas to whether the wooden “sand catch- ers” will be of real yalue after they fare built, But historic Cape Cod ts not the only coast line which has to fight with the releatiess ocean for existence, It seems that Great Britain is constant- ly suffering from erosion by the sea, and that her island domain is con- stantly growing less, There is some- thing alarming in the thought, but the statements of engineers that it takes hundreds and thousands of years to make any appreciable difference in the coast line is reassuring. Wherever ‘oceans or lakes roll their waters, or rivers flow, there is a steady alteration in the contour of the land. Some years ago the people of the middle lake states, and especially the territory in and xbout Chicago, were startled by the declaration of some wise man that eventually the waters of Lake Mich- igan would sweep over its present boundaries and engulf everything be- fore it, for it is declared that there is '& gradual tipping of the land in such @ ‘way as to in the far distant future so alter the present relations of land and lake as to cause the latter to empty its mighty depths upon the land. No “sand catchers” or stone bulkheads would avail in such a case, which re- minds us that notwithstanding the fact that the engineering skill can in large measure overcome and nullify the destructive forces of giant Nature, still after all man is but puny and helpless before the disintegrations and constant decay of the elements. Man may win temporary victory. only to come face to face with conditions be- fore which he is absolutely helpless, ‘The “sand catchers” along the coast of ‘o\d Cape Cod may stay the inroads of the ocean for a time, but who can know what changes in the map will be wrought in the centuries to come? ‘The geographer of the year 5000 may Jook at the atlas of to-day and marvel at what he may consider the inaccu- racies of the map makers of to-day. But it is comforting to think that dur- ing the present generation at least we shall keep Cape Cod with us.
