THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 27. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A Few Notes On the Fashions A Few Notes On the Fashions One of the novelties in high-class lingerie waistis is the use of color. The ground may be white, but the embroidery will be in pale blue, or green, mayhap lavender; and there may be medallions in color, these made of tucked batiste and attached to the waist with lace insert. Another new thing in the dressy bouse is embroidered net, this promising to be much more affected the approaching season. And dyed lace, we repeat, to be more and more used for the waist of the three-piece suit, Crepe de chine, a material that seems to fill a long-felt want, will be used very considerably for a suit waist, light fabrics given the preference. One is able to get crepe de chine now in such a variety of tones, it is no difficult matter to find a match. Perhaps many of our readers wonder if "blouse" and "waist" are used interchangeably. Yes, and no. Popularly they are; dressmakers that discriminate look upon the waist as a more simple affair, the old shirt-waist type; and upon the blouse as dressler, the lingerie waist perhaps the best type of this. Wherefore we go on to speak of the new tailor-made waists of linen, and to remark they are to be extensively worn. There are shown a few models in blues and pinks, but most of us are a bit afraid to adopt colors, white having reigned supreme so long. In ginghams and Madras weaves one can find very attractive materials, and need not feel that linen is the only thing for the shirt waist. This being the time of year one begins to have the dressmaker come to make up shirt-waist and shirt-waist suit, we make mention of the excellent The winter girl of 1905-06 has on the whole been a picturesque figure. She has kept to no one distinct mode, but worn now this style of dress, now that. In the mornings she is especially smart and trim, gowned simply in a "strictly tailor-made." In the afternoons she wears a costume reminiscent of the fashion known as Empire, a modern adaptation. In the evenings A CHARMING WINTER TOILETTE she occasionally appears in a soft, clinging Empire; this time a direct copy and not an adaptation; or she may display a gorgeous gown with a Louis XVI. bodice. And each and every toilette is fashioned to suit the style of the wearer, that mysterious "line" most artfully accomplished. The accompanying illustration strikes us as a graceful winter outfit with various good points. Note the sensible shortness of the skirt, the long lines of the wrap, the three- quarter sleeve, the hat excellently in harmony, appearing a component part of the toilette. The coat is simply In Union There Is Strength. crashes and percales. The new suits have the waist outside the skirt, and no belt is used; the tendency not to outline the waist, but to give a princess effect. The short sleeve still obtains, and will for some time to come, in the lingerie styles. We saw a waist the other day which we voted most clever. It was a simple little cream colored China silk, the sleeve had a largish puff from shoulder to elbow, and the lower part was fitted by means of shirts at inner and outer seam, this lower part loose enough that it could be pushed up above the elbow and not spoil the effect at all; the wearer might have elbow or long sleeve, just as she liked. To return to the lingerie blouse. The two models accompanying this sketch have been very good style this winter. The one is made of all-over lace, with a little chemisette of finest batiste finely tucked. The knot of ribbon at the breast gives the touch of color desired, the silk underslip is colorless. The other design is more elaborate and perhaps not quite so good. And speaking of simplicity reminds us that there are displayed some beautiful blouses of sheer silk, these as a rule made with little elaboration. The many cheap imitations of elaborately trimmed high-class lingerie waists, has led to a change in the direction of more simplicity. And it is to be hoped the cheap models will imitate this style. We have all grown weary of multitudes of inset medallions, yards and yards of insertion, frills and furbelows galore. The present feature is that special attention is paid to material, less to complex trimming. trimmed with flat braid, the skirt absolutely untrimmed, the intention to give height and slenderness of effect. To insure this effect a dark material should be employed. This model would make up beautifully in velvet with lace frills at the wrists. A novelty just come over from Paris is the mousquetaire undersleeve, evidently designed for the woman with very slender arms. The dress sleeve with which such an undersleeve is worn is a mere puff at the shoulders; or rather, a very short sleeve with very little puffiness about it. The mousquetaire of sheerest material and unlined, it wrinkles close about the arm, being shredded both at inner and outer seam. Carrying out the fancy for combining heavy material with one very gauzy, these undersleeves are effective additions to a velvet gown. They are recommended for the princess skirt, too, and may be of different material than the bodice. They come down quite long on the wrists and are met by short white gloves. It is a new fashion, a pretty fashion. Buttons, in spite of affirmations to the contrary, are a noticeable feature of costumes and promise to have much vogue the coming season. The peacock eye is a design found in the art nouveau styles, and a favorite. There are good imitations of Indian beadwork, some excellent glass buttons from Bohemia, and exquisite enameled ones. They are used for trimming quite as much as for fastening. From the first we liked the white coat-sets, the pique and linen collars and cuffs worn outside the jacket; and are glad to learn they will be very good style this spring. Eyelet work on heavy linen seems a favorite, and the plain pique sets are liked. In spite of talk to the contrary, we are to continue wearing the dainty chemisette, too much of a favorite to be lightly relinquished. There seems an infinite variety of turn-over collars, among the best those copied from the Japanese. This sort of neckwear is much better taste than cheap imitation lace or soiled ribbon, and every woman should lay in an ample supply. ELLEN OSMONDE CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1906. HE'S A LIAR! SAYS HY DAVIS! "A Barefaced Lie" Was The Leader's Alleged Davis Interview. HE DEMANDS IN VAIN A "SQUARE DEAL." Contemptible Treatment From a Southern Sympathizing Editor — The Reporter From the South. On Jan. 8 the following alleged interview appeared in the Cleveland Leader and astonished the community, particularly our people among whom Mr. Davis has many warm friends: Says the President Would Win Over the "Solid South" by Favoring Such Move. TO PLEASE DEMOCRATS Declares Roosevelt Should Seek Legislation to Disfranchise the Colored Man. Hy D. Davis says it's up to Roosevelt to win over the solid democratic south to the republican party. He would have the president favor legislation to disfranchise the Negro. He thinks then the old line democrats would scramble for the G. O. P. Such is the plan Mr. Davis evolved while on a month's trip through the south. He got back Friday night, Davis did not devote all his time to the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he is the national president. He looked at things political with the eye of a county chairman. Change Their Politics. "The ratio of four to seven Negroes to one white man is what keeps those southerners democrats," said Mr. Davis yesterday. "Northerners, and I met a lot of them, come down there full of republicanism, but they swing right over to the other side without question, and it is these men who are getting the offices and business and booming the south. "Roosevelt is immensely popular in the south. He would add to this popularity by favoring legislation to disfranchise the Negro or settle the problem in some other way. I feel that he can do it and then make the southern democrats see the error of their ways and come over to the republican party." Talks of Cincinnati's Lid. Although he has been out of the state a month, Mr. Davis kept himself informed somewhat as to state politics. "I believe that both Pattison and Dempsey will not only put the lid on, but keep it up," he said. "I think they will make good it too. Cincinnati, Boss Cox's town, as you say, looked the same to me last night as a year ago, but I guess it would not if I had been a day later. I got out while the lid was falling. On the same day (Monday, Jan. 9) that the above was published the editor of The Gazette wired and wrote Mr. Davis, state fire marshal and chairman of our county republican executive committee, who was in Columbus, asking him if his alleged interview in that morning's Leader endorsing southern disfranchisement, was correct. In the day received the following telegram his reply: Columbus, O, Jan. S, 1906. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette Cleveland, O. Dear Friend: Cannot say. Haven't seen paper. HY D. DAVIS. In The Gazette of Jan. 13 (the Saturday following) we published the following editorial note: Our letter to Mr. Davis on Monday, which he doubtless received Tuesday, also contained the interview in question. To it we have not received a reply. We shall suspend judgment pending the receipt of an answer to our letter, or until we can see Mr. Davis on his return to the city. It is difficult to believe that our friend of years' standing could deliver himself of such "rot." It did not "sound" a bit like the Hy Davis we thought we knew, and still think we know, in spite of the alleged interview. In our issue of Jan. 20 the following letter: On his return to the city last Saturday (Jan. 13) from Columbus Hy D. Davis wrote the editor of The Gazette the following letter: Mr. Davis' Denial. Columbus O., Jan. 13, 1906. Hon Harry C. Smith. Dear Friend: Yesterday for the first time, I saw my alleged statement in the Cleveland Leader to which you refer in your letter. The report of the Leader misinterpreted my statements. I stated to him that the colored people of the south need to be educated and if they were not, it would be better were they together so that they might obtain an education. And I further said that President Roosevelt was in a position now, in the estimation of the south to bring about an adjustment of the race prob- --- GAZETTE. lem. I take it that the colored people of Cleveland know that I am their friend and have always been ever since I have taken any part in public life. I surely would not at this late date speak unkindly of a race of people that have been my friends. I have always sympathized with them in the struggle they have had to make and have, whenever the opportunity precludes self, urged that they given better opportunity. How that statement will be sufficient to convince you that I occupy the same position with reference to your people that I always have in the past, I am with best wishes. Yours very truly, HY D. DAVIS. A copy of the above was sent to every local daily paper on Tuesday with a request that it be published and not one published it. This includes the Leader and The News, alleged republican papers. The editor of The Gazette of the Cleveland has insisting that he secure the publication of a correction in the Cleveland Leader and on Saturday last received the following: The Leader's Refusal. Cleveland, O. Jan. 27, 1906. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Iy dear Harry: At your suggestion I prepared the within statement and on Saturday last furnished it to the leader expecting that it would appear on Sunday. Not seeing it, and being compelled to leave the city, I authorized the office to make inquiry and find out why it was not published. On my return today, I was informed that the gentleman who wrote the article had refused to change his statement and therefore the city editor stood by the reporter. I called up to find out if Mr. Wright, the managing editor, was at the office, and was informed that he had gone to Columbus and would not return until tomorrow. As I will be compelled to leave the city today and be gone until next week sometime, I will not be able to get to see him until then. As you will note, I was very fair with the reporter. I desired to let him down as easily as I possibly could with his superior. Now, that he takes the stand that he does, I propose to leave nothing undone to show him up in his true light. The statement was a bare-faced lie, and it will doubtlessly cause a bitter veracity between the reporter and myself when the matter is broached to the managing editor. This is the first time in my life I have ever had a question with the newspaper men. I have always felt I could talk to a newspaper man and be properly quoted, and have always gone out of my way to assist newspaper men, and have a very warm place in my heart for them. I have always paper in all my experience in public life, to retract a statement before this time, and I feel that my conduct in the city of Cleveland since a resident and in a public position warrants respectful treatment, and I shall strive to get it in this case. I shall report to you the result of my effort with the manager of the Leader. Thanking you for the interest manifested in this greatest injustice done me, I am. Yours truly very truly. MR DAVIS' LETTER TO THE LEADER Which Up-to-Date it Has Steadfastly Refused to Publish—Contemptible Treatment to Accord Anyone. Cleveland, O., Jan. 20, 1906. My dear Editor Cleveland Leader: Some days ago an interview appeared in your issue purporting to have been given by myself to one of your reporters. I remember very well have heard that you were to my trip through the south in December, and while I do not want to criticise the reporter, as I am satisfied he did not intentionally mean to misquote me, yet. I am certain he misunderstood my statements concerning the colored people of the south. I said to him on that occasion that the colored population of the south was a great problem, that unless they had an opportunity to become better educated it would become a greater question, and that without an opportunity to become educated, they would be better off were they together to themselves and permitted to work out a plan of their own with the government's help. I certainly did not say "That President Roosevelt would add to his popularity by favoring legislation to disfranchise the Nerro or settle the problem in some other way." I did say that President Roosevelt's trip through the south had made him very popular and that he was in a better position now to do something in behalf of the colored race than ever before. I could have no desire in speaking unkindly of the colored people. My sympathies are with them. I know what they have to contend with and I have always, to the best of my ability when the opportunity has presented itself, done all I could in their behalf and shall continue to do so in the future. I hope you will publish this explanation as I have been severely criticised. Thanking you for this opportunity, I am. Yours very truly. HY D. DAVIS. The "Quaker City" Horror. Philadelphia, Pa.—A wild panic, following a loud shriek of "fire," brought death to 18 of our people and injuries to nearly two score of others on Jan. 21 in St. Paul's Baptist church. The tremendous rush to gain the street was of brief duration and that more were not killed in the stampede was probably due to the fact that the church was not crowded. At the time the disaster occurred not more than 300 persons on the second floor of the building, which with the gallery, was capable of accommodating 600 to 700. The fire was a trifling one and was extinguished before the firemen arrived. FRESH OHIO NEWS.

W. S. SCARBOROUGH, The Well-Known Educator, Most Prominently Mentioned for the Presidency of Howard University. The following editorial note from the Xenia (O.) Standard is self-explanatory: "We understand that Prof. W. S. Scarborough, vice president of Willberforce university, is being pushed by his numerous friends for the presidency of Howard university, Washington, D. C. "Prof. Scarborough is connected with several of the national and international educational societies, and is one of the best educators in this country. His long service in the republican party, both in state and nation, entitles him to high recognition, and his appointment to the place would doubtless give general satisfaction." We indorse every word of the above author in man of the race, an educator who is in every way fitted for the successful conduct of that institution, it is Prof. W. S. Scarborough. He is not only intellectually fitted from the educational viewpoint but also has the business qualifications, temperament and good sound sense so necessary in any man to head Howard university just at this time. We commend him in the strongest possible manner to the trustees of the institution and know that his selection will not only give general satisfaction the country over all, but also that he will give the university the prestige it is entitled to from the head of such a school. Howard is practically our "National University." Washington, D. C.—Members of congress are laughing heartily over a mishap that befall Representative J. Thomas Heflin in his journey to Washington Jan. 20. He telegraphed from his home at Lafayette, Ala., for a sleeping berth, and was notified that lower No. 2 had been assigned to him. When the train arrived, Heflin was surprised that no berth on any sleeper was to be had, and that none had been reserved for him. He produced his telegraph notice, but it did no good. Inquiry as to the occupant of lower No. 2 brought out the fact that it was none other than Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute. Heflin sat up half the night, and finally crawled into an upper berth, while Washington slept peacefully in lower No. 2. The humor of this incident is emphasized because of the anarchistic speech Heflin made after Booker Washington had been dining at the White House. It was this "man" Heflin who in public speech, intimated that it would be a good thing if some one had dropped a bomb under the White House table while the president and Washington were eating.

THE REGULATION OF OUR RAIL- WAY SYSTEM. Many of thoes who ‘write and: talk about railroad matters seem to ex press themselves as having been told what to say. The railway managers have taken the stan® that it would be unwise to arm the government with authority to prosecute, defend and Judge so important a matter as the Fate that shall be paid for the trans portation of freight on our railway systems. It is held by some that as- “sistance given an employer Is treason to labor and evidence of organization Weakness, But we cannot view it in that light. The question of railway rates, rebates, private car lines and the like is greatly. misunderstood by the average man who now joins in the @emand for rate regulations. But it fs not s0 much @ matter of rate making as it is of rate cutting. The railway lines brought on the agitation them- seives of government regulstion. They entered into private agreement with large companies and are now ready to abandon their own proposition, accept the principle of government regulation tnd supervision to secure to them. selves a law that defends them from the demands of large corporations. The intelligent mind fully agrees that the right of supervision, and the power to demand and enforce fair treatment to shippers and rights that are already in the hands of the gov- ernment, should be conceded. But to place in the hands of @ commission Whose members have no training In railway operation and know not the necessities and methods of rate mak- ing, the business and power to make a rate, defend and enforce it, and to practically operate the system with no responsibility to the company for re- sults, is the thing to be considered by the law making power of congress. The present question of railway man- ‘agement involves a complication of Is. sues, but we expect increased burdens whieh cannot be eliminated in the operation where the system itself and public demand make it necessary. The public is asking for safety plans, for liability laws and for such ar- rangement as shall assure a pension to the railway employe who may be injured or lose a life. If such provi- sions are made, it certainly must. be ‘Mais ati dekcaind A FAIR DEAL FOR ALL MEN. So glaring are the inconsistencies fof the American mind in its dealings with manhood rights and citizenship that it becomes both appalling and sickening to contemplate the fickle. ness and treachery of men in their relations to races. ‘The manifesta. tlon of character as disclosed in the unrelenting vindictiveness of | the vicious element against the common eltizen, though of another race, and the ready appeals of the better class of Americans pleading for equal rights and fair play according to the sacred word and the Jeffersonian idea of freedom and independence, involve a problem quite perplexing, when borne in mind how unscrupulous we lo appear when selfishness and preju- Joie wield the sceptre. We are more or less predisposed to adhere to the |inttuence of our environments and we fare largely controlled by hereditary ‘mind, morally trained to discern the right from the wrong and to base our actions upon the precepts of truth and righteousness, there can be no pallia- ‘tion, nor apology for the crime of un- just discrimination against men. There ‘ean be no excuse for the merest en- croachment upon moral truth. Re- gardiess of all conditions men are bound to regard whatever equity that ‘belongs to individuals. The eternal principle of justice is the vital spark which illumines the world and pre- serves mankind, and without it as a guiding force creation and heaven ‘would be vold.

Recently in a certain southern elty there appeared an Afro. American applicant to be examined for a position as teacher in the public schools. His percentages in the dif ferent branches were excellent, but he had only one arm and the superin. tendent refused to allow the candidate a certificate. In the same city where the white applicants were being ex- amined a white man made a tolerably fair certificate. He had, however, only one eve. But it did not matter, the applicant was a white man. He se- cured his certifieate and proved to be one among the best teachers in the country. It offers a sad commentary upon the judgment and integrity of in. telligent white men who would so wantonly draw lines of distinction against merit and capability and against the very essentials which they 89 much profess to commend. The American government cannot afford to discourage genuine merit, neither can firms nor the people endorse such action, for it means a blow against every strong arm lifted in the interest of our home industries. The common effort must be maintained and encour. aged or trade langulshes and business stagnates.

Dear Mrs, Doston: Twas very much surprised and ex- tremely pleased at receiving your note last night and thank you for tak. ing the trouble to answer {t, at this late date, for I had long ago given up any expectation of hearing from it again. 1 knew your grandfather a little and had the pleasure of talking with him in the publisher's office where I was employed and where he was always a welcome visitor; they always called him “Unele Tom’—the last’ Ume I saw him was when he passed through Boston on his way to England, to make a visit to Queen Victora on her invitation; on his re- turn he called again at the office and to my great disappointment 1 did not see him, as I was out, and they told me that he showed them the Queen's picture ina gold frame, which she gave him. I also read with much In- terest his experience which he re- lates in his book, with Mr. Edward Riddle, United Siates commissioner to the first world's fair held in Eng- land, when Riddle would not allow him ‘to take the black walnut boards from the United States exhibit, which, although brought across the water in a United States vessel, belonged to him and were the work of the fugi- tive slaves, eseaped from United States to Canada; and when he found he could not get them, he painted that fact in white lettering on the hoards, and then Mr. Riddle was only 100 slad to have him take them from the United States exbibit, New Mr. Rid- dle was a resident of Charlestown, the town adjoining Hoston, and since an- nexed to that elty—ihe town where I was born and raised—and Mr. Riddie’s wife used (0 be my teacher in the pub- ic school of Charlestown, and his son, George Riddle, now a famous reader and elocutionist, was pupil of my sister, in one of Charlestown's public schools. I read your grandfather's first autobiography once, borrowed tt to read many years ago; the one pub- ished in 1859, by Jobn P. Jewett & Co, and’ wrote to the hers, afer his death, hoping to get a copy of my own, pitt’ never hearing from them, gave iu up. In 1882 T saw in the pa ‘per, and cut it out. an obituary notice ‘of him, which 1 kept among my other ‘choice clippings, Tt was quite @ long notice and stated many of the facts told of in his life. ‘Three or four years ago, | bought and read Booker Washington's “Up From Slavery,” in which Twas much interested.” My father in the olden days was'an ar dent abolitionist and 1 drank in a haired of slavery almost from my eradie. While I was reading Booker Washington's book I was axain seized with a desire to possess the life of your grandfather, whieh I remember $0 well, and which had made such a vivid impression on my mind for I thought, “Well, Booker Washington is a wonderful man and is doing a great work for his people, but Father Henson was more wonderful, for he ived In Worse and harder tinies than Booker ever ‘knew, and attained to the prominence and eminence of his life, without any of the help that Booker had; and he did more for his people and was a hero of the great- jest and most fearless type, when ho ‘deliberately went back Hlght into the teeth of slavery, laying himself liable every time to be caught by men who ‘would like nothing betier than to put him to death by the extremist torture, Hehe had en betrayed oe taken, and this he did six or seven times, for the sake of safely conducting parties of his timid and, fearful down-trodden bare to a land of freedom. It makes one shudder to think what risks be Tan and what would have been his fate had he been taken.” Oh, | think he was one of the grandest men I ever Knew: fit to rank with our own first ‘president, Washington, and our mar- tyred president, Lincoln, Well, as I said, I was again desirous of having ‘in my possession his tife and one day, as I was in Boston, to which Sommer. ‘ville is now the adjoining town, and js within walking distance of my home in passing by a second hand ‘and antique book shop, 1 happened to ‘think I'd call and inquire, withont the least expectation of getting it, when lo and behold, the salesman produced a partly worn copy, to my delight, and “Up From Slavery” and “Father Henson's Story” stand side by. side Im my bookease; and when anybody in my hearing praises the former and tells what a wonderful man he is, I say, “Yes, it Is all true, but I have the’ story of @ still more wonderful man, a still greater hero, which you ought to read;” and then I lend it to them and after reading it they fully agree with me, I hope you have his book and I hope you are as proud of him as you ought to le, and T am very glad to have @ letter from his granddaughter. She ought to be a noble woman coming from such rare and noble stock. I think I shall try to get the later edition of his book, for T'@ like to know about the years of his life after his people were eman- cipated, and till nearly its close; for my paper cutting gives the dates of his death as 1883 and the last book you say was up to 1879. God bless you. Thank you very much for writ. ing. Allow me to wish you a “Merry Christmas” and “Happy New Year” and may God make and keep you such a good woman, that when this life Is over, You may meet your good grand. father in Heaven, for he loved God and tried to ferve him.

WHEN GOING TO BITTSY I should say, select the R.

If I took a sleeping car I would not wish to pay more than $1.50 for a double berth, with no change of cars, and let me pass through Youngstown and along the banks of the picturesque river City. Then it's the Eric R. R that I select, for it gives me the above and even more, with seven trains every day. They sell tickets at No. 9 Euclid avenue, in the city of Cleveland. Mercer, Pa., Items.

I am a practicing physician, and very often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Soap in where other formulas have failed. I am not in the habit of endorsing patient medicines, but when I find remedies possessing true merit, such as the Cuticura Resolvent, I am reminded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world.

It is only a few short years since the impression prevailed that a large portion of the Canadian West was un fitted for agriculture. To such an extent did this impression prevail that districts larger than European principalities were devoted solely to raining purposes, and flocks and herds roamed the ranges. But the agriculturist was doing some hard thinking, and gradually experiments were made, slowly at first, but surely later on. As a result, to-day in Southern Alberta, which was looked upon as the "airbelt," large quantities of the finest winter wheat in the world are now grown, and so satisfied are the farmers and buyers that the industry has passed the experimental stage that elevators by the score have been erected in the past two years and others are in course of erection, to satisfy the demands that will be made upon them in the near future. Manitoba "No. 1 Hard" spring wheat has achieved a world-wide reputation, and there can be no question that ever long "No. 1 Hard" wheat winter from Alberta will attain similar repute. The great market for this production will undoubtedly be the Orient, and with increased railway facilities and the erection of additional elevators and flouring mills, a largely increased acreage will be broken to winter wheat. The increase of population in Southern Alberta in the past year has been largely due to settlers from the United States, who have brought in capital and enterprise, and who have been uniformly successful in their undertakings. A few more such years of growth and "Turkey Red" winter wheat will wave from Moose Jaw to the foothills. Information regarding lands in the Fall and Spring Wheat belts may be obtained of any Canadian government agent. Only he that knows what it is to be down can appreciate being up in the world. N. O.

Of Late Years the City Has Broken Out Overhead in Electric Illuminations. The other evening I was dining with a Parisian who had been abroad for several years, and asked him what had impressed him most on his return, says a writer in St. James' Gazette. "When I went away people called tea 'tilenil', and drank it when they were ill. They had never heard the name of toast in those days, and 'pains grilles' were things to be eaten sparingly with chocolate after the theater. As for the electric sky signs, they make me quite giddy on the boulevards now." It is quite true. Paris, of late years, has broken out everywhere into electric sky signs, and if the craze for them continues it will be useless for a shop to advertise its whereabouts except with lettering which can be illuminated at night. On the Place de l'Opera and all along the boulevards the sky signs twinkle in and out like gigantic caterpillars in a made Christmas pantomime, some lighting at once, others letter by letter, others again lighting in different colors, and gong out at one end as the other end is illuminated. As for the cinematograph displays on curtains, these have become comparatively common, and the crowds which used to gather outside and stare up at the Theatre Robert Houdin now have a round half-dozen moving picture shows to choose from, and nothing to pay for any of them. We shall soon be quite Londonized if we do not happen to become Americanized first. Swift & Company The total distributive sales for 1905 exceeded $200,000,000. This total is realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-products derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. Margin of Profit. The industry is operated on a margin of less than 2 cents to each dollar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughterers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competition with the packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in competition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. Economic Advantages The large packing houses will, however, always have these advantages: Locations at the chief live stock centers, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of expense; utilization of all waste material; refrigeration; mechanical appliances; highly efficient business management. These advantages are reflected in the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development in the products bearing the name and brand of "Swift." Purchasing Live Stock. The principal live stock centers are Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. A whiskey without a headache is being advertised. It is dangerous if true. The headache is what saves most men.

Margin of Profit Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort Worth. The same methods of purchasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at all cities. At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers, local slaughterers in various cities, and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company. The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commission firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commission dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates. All buying must be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and naturally strives to get the highest possible price for his client. Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the inside being lined—floor, walls and ceiling—with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered daily with fresh sawdust and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses in various cities of the United States, and the public is all ways welcome to visit them. Packing Plants. All the Swift & Company plants are located at the great live stock markets, in the heart of the great agricultural sections, where can be purchased the finest grades of cattle, sheep and hogs. We have seven packing plants, employing at each from two to eight thousand persons. The following gives the locations and sizes of the different plants.
