THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 20. CONCERNING SEPARATE COATS THE DRESSY SHORT JACKET It is a day of the costume, of the tailored suit, and also it is the day of the separate wrap. Which would indicate that this is a time of latitude in dress. And it is a wide variety that bears the stamp of fashion. But just now let us confine ourselves to one garment, the wrap to wear with various gowns. A PRETTY EVENING WRAP A PRETTY EVENING WAP. The separate coat is seen at its best, perhaps, in the evening wrap. Fashion now decrees that my lady appear in a cloak that bears about it no utilitarian suggestion, one evidently designed for recreation hours. Most of the evening wraps are light colored, pale blue very fashionable. And cloths of finest, smoothest quality appear to take lead in materials. Although lace wraps are much affected by some, the fine cloths are as good as anything the season has brought forth. Crepe de chines also are employed, a thick interlining used to make them warm enough. One sees some fur-lined cloaks, but not many; they are as a rule relegated to football games and out-door demands, not for show in opera box and other evening affairs. One lovely pale blue wrap had a deep border of delicate gold embroidery, the gilt not in the least showy. These deep bands are a feature of the winter trimmings, and a late novelty is the border of embroidered white cloth. A very good pale pink wrap For evening wrap and the street suit the long wrap is usually chosen, but for dressy afternoon wear the short jacket holds its own. We confess we a long flowing skirt and cloak with long flowing lines particularly graceful; but we add that there is a lot of style to the short jacket. This year the short velvet coat is very fashionable, and it certainly is fetching with a skirt of broadcloth, whether the same color or not. One of the costumes in highest favor at a recent gathering of Vanity Fair, was a black velvet coat worn with skirt of blue volle; the collars, cuffs and revers of the coat of ermine. Another attractive costume had a broadcloth skirt adorned with velvet trimming in some fanciful arrangement, and the short Eton was of velvet matching the skirt trimming. One sees a number of short fur wraps, these not so good as those of velvet. A black pantne suit, skirt and short jacket, is a good investment this year; the short coat may be worn, and very stylish, with various skirts. The season has offered nothing of better fashion than certain of the black pantne suits. Yesterday we saw a pretty little black broadcloth costume on a young girl, the skirt and coat both short. The narrow girdle of the jacket was lightly trimmed in green broadcloth, and the vest showed a bit of green. The sleeves were short, they and the open front disclosed a white lingera waist beneath. The hat and vell were of green, the neck-piece and flat pillow muff of Persian lamb. It was a cold day, and the girl had to thrust her thinly glad arms deep in the pillow muff. Having spoken of the short, contrasting wrap, we may now call attention to the short basque coat for evening wear in color contrasting with the skirt. It is a quaint fashion, and may be very becoming; or it may be made eccentric; it depends much on the style of the wearer. An excellent model was a pink-flowered pale blue silk worn with a petticoat of white taffeta batiste. This takes us back to the days when grandmame was young. When we speak of short coats you must not imagine we refer to corse-tight designs. By no means, many of the briefer jackets are semi-fitting, there are short empires, there are countless boleros. And even the blouse is not wholly banished. We should say it is the three-quarter wrap that goes in for the close fit, that jackets and evening wraps are as a rule loose. But, as we suggested above, there is no absolute rule as to the pedestrian costume; one sees many a well-dressed woman irudging along in long automobile togs, rain proof, and dust-proof; then there is the girl with the circular skirt and close jacket; and many a medium-length skirt and half-loose jacket is met with. Equally well dressed and suitably dressed may appear the woman with the redingote suit. Fashion does not dictate in this regard with her usual positiveness. In Union There Is Strength. was adorned with gilt tracery, and the hat worn with it had a crown of pale cloth-of-gold, the feathers the exact shade of the wrap. A beautiful new shade in pink is a flesh that, this probably will rival the fashionable apricot, the pinky-yellow. The evening wraps are lined in self-color. There are some magpie effects, black over white. The design here illustrated appeared in the Dry Goods Economist, a black Chantilly lace over white silk; the trimming used, black silk braid and lace frills. Spanish lace is making its way, and no doubt ere long will be well to the fore. It is being shown not only in black and white, but also there are dyed Spanish laces. We always had a weakness for the lace sacred to mantilla of siltana, and welcome it back again right gladly. There is nothing prettier for an evening bodice than a cream Spanish lace waist; the color so soft and very becoming against bare arms and shoulders. Gray is liked for evening gowns as we do not remember it ever before to have been, and in the silky crepe de chines it lights up beautifully. An empire gown of gray musselline de soie was brought to our notice, the skirt bordered with embroidery done in smallest of gold spangles. Gold and gray is an exquisite combination, very Frenchy. Gray taffeta and velvet are combined with good results, and here we will stop to mention the approval given the taffeta silk bodice of the newest velvet gown. Only the sleeves of the silk bodice are of velvet. It is a revival of a fashion of some 15 years back, appears to us a bit lowdy and with very little to recommend it. But many a dame is after novelty, and this probably has been invented for such as seek the novel at the expense of good style. Lace hats continue to increase in number, black ones not seen so often as white. And speaking of hats we must mention a charming small chapeau we saw the other day, one of those neat, low-crowned, turned-up evenly on both sides affairs. The material was silky felt, the color an exquisite violet gray. The trimming was a wide band of shaded violet messalline ribbon wrinkled across the front, and over one side climbed a great bunch of violets. The effect was like the posies, modest and simple and lovely. This hat might be worn day or evening, and would look well with a long cloak of violet chiffon broadcloth. It goes without saying that it would be just the thing for a broadcloth street suit. Even a princess street suit has appeared, the skirt shortish, the coat a fancy little bolero, the sleeves elbow length. But this is, needless to remark, is a costume for show rather than the everyday needs of a robust, athletic girl. That sort may do well to keep to long easy sleeves, snug, warm jacket, a really abbreviated peticoat. And for the out-door girl we would recommend the all-red suit; a dull, not a brazen red. A garnet SHORT VELVET COAT FASHIONABLE. broadcloth with hat to match is fine for winter weather, and may be worn by almost anyone, by blond, brunette, "half-and-half." The invisible plaids in green and blue blendings are among the best street suits, and these are seen both in redingote style and short jacket. The better ones are either close or more than semi-fitting, plaids not dressy enough for the voluminous wrap. In regard to veils, we think preference is given to the vell matching the hat, whether or not dress and hat match. A green vell is unbecoming to the average woman, with the blue and green plaid the blue vell is the choice. Gloves are unobtrusive, one notices fewer colored ones than early prophesies led us to look for. Waiter's Wit "Oilie" James, representative of Kentucky, says that while he and certain friends were studying the bill-of-fare in a hotel on the New Jersey coast a mosquito alighted on the card. It instantly lost its life by a quick blow from the man holding the card, its little carcass remaining on the bill. With a smile the man pointed to the remains and said to the waiter: "Do you ever serve these on toast here?" "They're on the bill, sir!" was the witty retort of the waiter—Nashville American.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON. "The Non-Resistant"—A New Book That Should be in Every Home. The great apostle of abolition, William Lloyd Garrison, was born in Newburyport, Mass., Dec. 10, 1805. The centenary of his birth is suitably marked by the publication of Ernest Crosby's notable book "Garrison the Non-Resistant." It is a sympathetic sketch of Garrison's career which considers slavery and the civil war from an entirely original point of view. In the opinion of the author President Lincoln made a radical mistake in undertaking to coerce the seceding states, and the enthusiasm for the "union" of seceded states was bitter, but the garards as immoral in itself, and the source of profile subsequent eclips, including the growth of the sentiments of imperialism and militarism, together with the foundation of the trusts and the aggravation of the labor problem. That the war failed to settle the race question is obvious. If the "erring sisters" had been allowed to go, slavery would, he thinks, have died a natural death, and the states would have reunited, the race question having been peacefully and genuinely solved. Even those who fail to accept this view of history will find it interesting and full of suggestive and the accretion of Garrison's life, and the record of the personal observations of the author in the south of today are both vivid and entertaining.

Washington, D. C.—A revolt of between 300 and 400 male and female students of Howard university occurred last Friday shortly after noon. The student body had assembled in the chapel for the usual noontime religious services, when the president (white) entered and was greeted with a volume of hisses, cat calls, howls and groans. A scene of excitement followed. The students then marched out of the chapel to the campus where the demonstration was continued, and Prof. Gordon was denounced further. The college exercises for the day were abandoned as the students practically were on strike. The occasion of the demonstration is due to his prejudicial talk and conduct toward members of the Gordon has grown until the feeling at Howard is at an end. He must and will go. He is entirely too much a southerner in his sympathies and prejudices. BACK FROM ENGLAND Rev. Dr. M. F. A.

Two other veterans (white) were also among the applicants. The board failed to take action and McDowell will now insist on his rights under the statute unless recognition is given him. Good!

President John Gordon's Rather Comical Announcement of the Impending Storm Against Himself. Washington, D. C.—On Dec. 7 President Roosevelt sent to the senate for confirmation for reappointment the names of six justices of the peace for the District of Columbia, among which was that of Robert H. Terrell whose present term of office expires on the 31st. There were originally 10 justices of the peace, two of whom were Afro-Americans, Terrell and Emanuel M. Hewlett, Esq. At present there are only nine, a vacancy having been caused by death. The age making provision for the appointment of justices of the peace for the District of Columbia, provided that after Dec. 31, 1905, the number should be reduced from 10 to 6. Mr. Hewlett's name was not sent in for reappointment. The position carries a salary of $200 per annum with an allowance of $250 for rent, stationery and other expenses. Squire (he is not a "judge") Terrell is now receiving the congratulations of his many friends. A comical feature of the recent demonstration at Howard university is that it arose immediately after President Gordon had announced the hymn, "Master, the Tempest is Ragging"—a fitting prelude to the finale. And how the students' righteous storm against Gordon did rage! HUBERT JAILED He is Convicted in Buffalo of Illegal Collecting Steroids in Kin- gin. Memorial Seminary. Buffalo, N. Y.—The Rev. P. A. R. Hubert, formerly connected as financial agent with Wilberforce university and Livingstone college, Sallisbury, N.

It is alleged that Hubert without authority, has been collecting funds for the Knights Memorial seminary, a branch of the Wilberforce Rev. Joshua H. Jones president of the university, was the complaining witness. Hubert's wife is a Cleveland girl. Home.Seekers' Rates West, Northwest, Southwest, and South East. 1st and 3d Tuesday of the month.

Murray, ex-congressman from South Carolina, has been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary of that state. The appeal to the federal court was denied. His sentence has caused universal sorrow among our people throughout that state, among whom he was highly esteemed. An English physician named Scholes has written a book of more than 400 pages in which he seeks to establish the fact of the social and intellectual equality of the Negro race. Among many other things he says that the ancient Egyptians were of Negro stock and that European civilization as compared to the civilization of the various colored races is of mushroom growth. The national convention of Negro Baptists held in Chicago some weeks ago appointed Rev. E. C. Morris, Booker T. Washington, E. W. Isaacs, Dr. R. H. Boyd and L. G. Jordan to visit President Roosevelt and request him and congress to join with the 2,000,000 Negro Baptists of the country in protesting against the barbarianism practiced by the Belgium government on natives in the Congo Free State, Africa.

Should Billy Roche (white) become Joe Gans' manager, it is believed that it will cause Joe to leap suddenly again into the ranks of the pugilistic world. Joe has always been a very powerful man and is today, and yet able to defend his title if he is given the chance. All that has ever been lacking with Gans is the much needed "square deal" managers. All Harvard has always been a manager of the tricky sort, one who is ever able to win a few paltry dollars. He has done nothing for the coin, never caring what hardships he brought to his men. It has always been his gain and the pugilist's loss. We hope that Gans will not go back to him any more. By all means he should double up with Billy Roche, because of Mr. Roche's record as a fair minded manager of the "square deal" order—Ex. From the accounts given by one or two of our prominent Afro-Americans who recently visited Rev. Alexander Dowie's Zion City, near Chicago, that city is the ideal place for our people. Rev. D. A. Graham, T. Thos. Fortune and Mrs. Fannie Barrier, Williams have much to say concerning it. In all the industries, of which there are many, the Afro-American has his share of employment. He is largely represented in the great Tabernacle choir; has offices in the governing life of the community and in no way is he made to feel his inferiority on account of his skin. Realizing the sincerity of his mind, understanding Rev. Dowle and of his followers, many of our people have united arms are still being used to the cause, and in Zion City, mores than in any other city in the United States, enjoy their rights and privileges as other men.

Comrade Robert McDowell, of Ravenna, a veteran of the civil war, knows his rights under the law and insists upon them in a very proper way. We commend to our readers the example he is setting. Lyons and Dancy did herculean work in the Ohio and Maryland campaigns for republicanism.—Indianapolis Freeman. Our contemporary is a trifle too generous in its praise in the above, at least as far as Ohio is concerned. The demonstration of three or four hundred students at Howard university, Washington, D. C., last week Friday, was a remarkable revolt against that institutions' white president Prof. John Gordon, who during his short incumbency of the office has shown a determination to draw social and other color lines, wholly unnecessary in the university, that should have secured his dismissal long ago Our bishops are entirely right in their demand for his removal. MRS. BOOKWALTER INCONSISTENT Mrs. E. L. Bookwalter, of Springfield, this state, and so well known as the president of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs (white), was called to Columbus to talk civic reform to the Alturian club. She charged mis management of the state girls' industrial school, near Delaware, and demanded that the institution be no longer used as a prey for politicians. She appeared as the earnest and true advocate of reform and as the friend and champion of American youth. In special reference to girls at the industrial school she was forceful and consistent in her plea that the girls shall not be made to feel themselves the inferior of the teachers and officers of the institution by impressing their minds with their own badness. As a school of reform, Mrs. Bookwalter insisted that it was designed to inspire the best thought and relieve the youthful mind of all seeming inferiority of self. She condemned the idea of girls who have broken some rule to be required to attend chapel services in their soiled clothes. She took high ground against anything that is repulsive and degrading in forming character. She was very justly severe in her criticism and deserves to be commended for the position she took in the interest of reform. But Mrs. Bookwalter suggested certain other strictures that common reason must admit to be morally wrong. She requires that there be a "colored" matron and that "the white and colored" girls shall be kept separate." She herself appears as an advocate of reform and honest dealing. She repudiates the unfeeling practice of treating the girls as being the inferior of the teachers and officers. She opposes the slightest action tendring to degrade and depress young womanhood, yet as though she would resource her own convictions, she requires the proscription and degradation of the "colored" girls in the school by their separation. The demand serves as a reflection somewhere. Does she mean it for the white girls? Certainly not, for she pleads for discrimination against "colored" girls, regardless of the humiliation and the stamp of inferiority which is intended to place them in the condition as inferior to the teachers and officers. She pleads that they shall not be made to feel themselves the inferior of teachers and officers. while at the same time she asks that "colored" girls shall be separated from their own mates, thus lowering them as being unworthy the amenities and kindly, recognition of the pupils of the school. Mrs. Bookwalter may afford proof of sincerity in her plea for the better treatment of the girls of the institution, but sincerity is not fair dealing and cannot be received with any degree of serious consideration so long as she would humilate and oppress one class and would relieve and help the other. Does Mrs. Bookwalter plead for equal justice among the people? Then let justice be done. SENATOR CARMACK'S RIBALDRY Senator E. W. Carmack, of Tennessee, is making herculean efforts to be returned to the United States senate and is resorting to methods not at all altered, nor helpful to his cause THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1905. Alarmed almost to frenzy that Gov. Robert Taylor will possibly become his successor, Senator Carmack entreats his constituents to bear in mind that if he has done nothing during his present term that may commend him as a great statesman, he at least dared to attack the executive of the nation. In a public address recently delivered in the court house at Paris, Tenn., Senator Carmack relieved his soul in his usual bitter anathemas against the administration, the republican party and the Afro-American. It was a sight almost appalling to look upon, this man with blanched cheek, pouring forth contumely against the president and curses upon the defenseless Afro-American. He was vindictive and incendiary from the beginning to the close of his speech, and betrayed an indiscretion that provoked only the suppressed pity of his most ardent friends. Painfully emotional and sometimes eloquent, yet he showed much feeling and a lack of confidence in his cause. It is so with all bad men who have no high convictions of duty to their fellow-men and no regard for the righteousness of their cause. The man seems possessed of a supreme conceit of the unspeakable sacredness of his own utterances. In manner he acknowledges no superior and at once challenges the right of the abest to disguise his ipse dixit. Like Diogenes under his tub, he concedes nothing to give gospel that is revealed to his own mental vision. He reviewed the record of the republican party from the time of Lincoln's inauguration, and exultingly predicted the triumph of the democratic supremacy of a "white man's government" through the universal disfranchisement of Afro-Americans, and the absolute exclusion of all Negroes holding office. He roamed with old Romulus, ripped with Euripides, strode with old Socrates, and then with face uplifted he said: "But, my fellow citizens, if I have done nothing worthy the name of a great senator, I failed not to obey the injunction of the wise man, Solomon, who commanded that we spare not the rod and spoil the child. It was I who upon the floor of the United States senate dared to administer the lash to Theodore Roosevelt, and to-day you have a man at the head of the nation who is far more generous and kind in his dealings with the people of the south. Oh, my countrymen! It was I who bearded the lion in his den and piled the lash till this proud and defiant beast was made to crouch and cower before a master. Once more your party moves on to signal victory. My record is before you, and I commit my case into the hands of my friends." Shall it be Taylor or Carmack? BURNED THIS MORTGAGE.

"If you let me telephone to 26 Broadway it will be here right off," he continued. "The number you give is the Standard Oil building, I think. It sounds all right," said Magistrate Cornell. Durrell was a little bashful at first about telling the name of his employer. Finally he said: "I'm the personal bodyguard of Mr. John D. Rockefeller. I stand outside his office door." The dollar came by a messenger boy. It was a new crisp bill. "I guess it isn't tainted money," said the clerk. A Painful Blow!

Boston, Dec. 14.—A sequel to the Boston suit case tragedy developed yesterday when Mrs. Mary Roberts was arrested for the Philadelphia authorities on a warrant, charging her with being a fugitive from justice, Mrs. Roberts is known as the wife of William E. Hunt, who is now serving a sentence of from six to seven years in the Massachusetts state prison for being an accessory to the death of Susan A.

HOMEANDABROAD News of the Busy World Boiled Down So that It Can be Digested at a Glance. CONGRESSIONAL. The subject of campaign contributions by insurance companies occupied the major portion of the time of the senate on the 7th. The resolution directing the secretary of the treasury to report whether the reports of the national bank examiners show that the banks have made campaign contributions in recent years was adopted. An appropriation of $11,000,000 was voted by the house toward the construction of the Panama canal. The amount was a compromise between the $16,500,000 carried in the bill under consideration and an estimate of something over $6,000,000. Mr. Williams, the minority leader of the house, "stepped on the lid" on the 11th just in time to prevent revelations in the nature of open criticism of the committee assignments, which had been announced by Speaker Cannon, of certain of his colleagues for which he is responsible. With spirited debates on the subjects of railroad rate legislation, arising through the introduction of a bill by Mr. Tillman to authorize the inter-state commerce commission to fix maximum rates, and the Panama canal, due to a controversy over the reference of the emergency appropriation bill to a committee, the session of the senate continuously proved interesting for more than four hours. Senator Mitchell's name was erased from the rolls. The senate on the 12th passed its first bill for the session. It was a measure authorizing the Rock Island, Arkansas & Louisville Railroad Co. to construct bridges across the Ouachita and other streams in the state of Arkansas.

Mitchell died at the Good Samaritan hospital in Portland, Ore, death resulting from complications which' followed the removal of four teeth at a dental office.

A national report of the bureau of immigration, Commissioner General Sargent refers to the magnitude and gravity of the problems presented by the growth of the alien population of the United States.

Of the increased arrivals Austria-Hungary sent 98,537 over its quota of 1940: Russia sent 89,537. It is the United Kingdom 49,544. This increase is somewhat offset by decreases from Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. The engineers and firemen of the Atlantic & Birmingham railroad went out on strike recently. Not a train is moving and traffic over the line is blocked completely. A verdict of murder and suicide was returned by the coroner of Newport, Ky., in the case of Robert McDyer and his wife, Lizzie McDyer, who were found dead in Melbourne, Campbell county. The anniversary of William Lloyd Garrison's death was celebrated in all the negro churches of New York City. At the Bethel Methodist church Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker. A. E. Mendenhall, a real estate dealer, was found dead in his office at Mt. vernon, O. The fact that his pock-book cannot be found has caused a suspicion of murder. Pickpockets stole $6,000 worth of diamonds from Mrs. William H. Crane, of Staten Island. The stones were set in six rings which she was carrying in a small handbag. Eight masked men entered Reading Mass, captured and locked up the two policemen who were patrolling the main street and then forced entrance to the mechanics' bank, where they set up a bar with dynamics. They measured $400. Joseph W. Fairbanks, one of the founders of the republican party, died at Farmington, Me. Many officers are being killed by rebellious troops at Harbin, Manchuria. Reserve officers are not permitted to return home. The scheme of Baron Lobel, the French engineer, for the building of a railroad from Siberia to Alaska has been approved by the Russian government.

The secret service announces the discovery of a new, counterfeit $10 United States (Buffalo) note, series 1901, Lyons register, Roberts treasurer. The appearance of the note is deceptive. Without a tremor and without a wreck, Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers marched to the court of the state prison at Windsor, Vt., and paid the penalty of murdering her husband, Marcus Rogers, at Bennington, on August 13, 1902. Attorney General Carson, of Pennsylvania, recommends in an official opinion to Insurance Commissioner Martin that the commissioner require all life insurance companies doing business in that state to give a written ten agreement to abolish rebating. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman drove at the palace at London recently to advocate of King Edward at which his majesty signified his approval of the new government of which Campbell-Bannerman is prime minister. It is learned on high authority that the Russian government has finally decided against universal suffrage and practically in favor of the old project. However, the law must still pass the council of the empire and receive imperial approval. The convicts in the penitentiary at Havana, Cuba, mutinied and a fierce fight between them and the guards followed in which two of the prisoners were severely wounded. 16 seriously wounded and three of the guards badly injured. Announcement is made by the American Tobacco Co. that the big Weyman factory in Duquesne Way, Pittsburgh, will be a thing of the past so far as that city is concerned after January 1, 1906.

After this the entire crew of 21 men were brought safely to shore in the breesbrues b哼. Following a shooting affray at New York in which one man was killed and another perhaps mortally wounded, three men charged by the police with having been concerned in the affair barricaded themselves in a tenement in West New Brighton, Staten Island. Until the doors were battered down they with their friends defied the police of the district to come and take them. Postmaster General Cortelyou in his annual report for the past fiscal year says that while a self-sustaining condition of the postoffice department would be graftifying, he is less concerned about the deficit than the efficiency of administration.

FORMS PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT Terrible State of Affairs Throughout Livonia — Government and Other Russian Officials Prisoners. St. Petersburg, via Helsingfors, Finland and Berlin, Dec. 14. Two messengers who arrived here from Riga yesterday, having walked about 130 miles to catch a train at Plock, not only confirm the report that a provisional government has been set up in Livonia, but they say that many of the troops have gone over to the insurrectionists. Dvina fort, commanding Riga harbor, is in their possession and the governor and other Russian officials are prisoners. The messengers add that the provisional government exercises authority throughout Livonia and part of Courland. The new government has declared the separation of the Lithonian people from the Russian empire. They have chosen new local officials and have decreed the closing of the spirit shops and breweries and the annulment of contracts between the peasants and the land owners. There is a general uprising of the native peasants, who are traveling in armed bodies, attacking the cities and driving off or killing their owners. The position of the peasants in these provinces has been the most deplorable of any in the entire empire. Conditions almost approaching those of the system have been continued down to the present time. They practically have kept the peasants in a state of vassalage, placing them at the mercy of the German barons. The Russian officials are being expelled from the provinces and many of them have been killed in the streets. There is a reign of terror at Riga. SOME IMPORTANT CHANGES. Perkins Resigns as First Vice President Elected President of Natural Life New York, Dec. 14.—Two incidents affecting the life insurance situation in New York yesterday overshadowed the legislative committee investigation.

COURT DECIDES AGAINST HEARST. Cannot Order Ballot Boxes Opened Nor Recount of Ballots. Albany, N. Y., Dec. 14.—The court of appeals, in a decision handed down yesterday in the New York ballot box case, sustains the contention of counsel for Mayor George B. McClellan, and denies that of attorneys for William Randolph Hearst and his colleagues on the Municipal Ownership league ticket. The court holds, as was argued by ex-Chief Justice Parker and his associates, that the courts have no power under the election law to order by mandamus the opening of the ballot boxes and a recount and recavanness of the ballots. The case relates directly to the vote for mayor, comprother and president of the board of aldermen cast in the Second election of November 7 last, but is of the utmost importance in Mr. Hearst's contest for the mayoralty of New York City, and is fundamental in its effect upon the electoral system of this state under the present election law. The decision was rendered by a divided court, five to two. INDICTMENT AGAINST A RAILROAD Charged that the Road, with the Sanc- tion of Two Ex.-Officers, Paid Illeg- al Rates to a Packing House.

Leon Foster, of 162 Greenwood street, a porter at the Bismarck Cafe on Huron street, was attacked Sunday evening just outside of the front door of the place by three delegates of the Waiters' union, lead on by Thomas Farrell, business agent of the organization whom he shot in the breast while they had him down on the ground beating him. Farrell's wound was slight, owing to the heavy overcoat he wore, Foster's injuries were scalp wounds. The strangest part of the proceeding was that Farrell and his two associates were allowed to return to their homes, while Foster was locked up at the police headquarters with the charge of shooting with intent to kill. "I have been on the scene so soon," years, and pickets of the Waiters' union been continually in front of my place," said Albert Menjou, proprietor of the Bismark. "I employed Foster on account of his size and strength. His duty was to stand in front of the place and assist customers from their carriages. I did not know that he was armed."

Chan Chun Man, the head of a Cantonese firm employing over 10,000 hands, has been studying American industries. In Philadelphia, apropos of the Chinese awakening, he said: "China has for thousands of years been highly enough civilized to despise war. Her new-born respect for war is not an unmixed good. There is, perhaps, a little of degeneration, of barbarism, in it. "But at least China will no longer be the laughing stock of nations more warlike than herself. It will no longer be possible to say to her, as the Japanese once said, that a Chinese general explained a oefat with such a report as this: "The ignorant enemy, unaware that guns could not be fired against an object behind them, came upon us from the rear, and thus rendered all our cannon useless." —Boston Advertiser.
