THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 28. Fashion Notes and Rumors The Fashionable 1906 Figure Change is in the air. It will be some time before my lady can don new spring gown and Easter bonnet, but she is already making preparation for this great event. Wherefore we would speak of what is to be worn. The "pony suit" surely will meet with high favor, the natty little coat, with no pretense of outlining the figure. Eton suits with short sleeves will continue in favor with not a few. The A POPULAR BOLERO. circular skirt will prevail, and pleated effects by no means be out of style. To still further anticipate, white linen suits will be much the fashion the coming summer, the bolero and Eton the jackets for these suits, a longer coat in wash goods rumpling and immediately looking untidy. We are promised another white season, white to be even more modish than last summer. The rain-coat, shorter than formerly, is by far the best garment of the kind that has been put out. These utility wraps come in fitted backs, in loose ripple backs, and may be in lengths varying from 50 to 58 inches. The materials are very handsome this season, and also the colors. In the spring, as a rule, every section of the As everyone that watches the styles is aware, there is no greater difference between city woman and country woman than the form. Of course this difference is brought about by dress, the cut of the garments and the disposition of the trimming. And today the city woman takes careful note of the waist-line. For some years back we have had the dip-belt craze. Of late the Empire style has gained ground. The happy mean between these two extremes is the all-round belt at the normal waist line, no dip down, no short-waisted encircling; but the present tendency is for the extreme Empire style. Nothing helps the dressmaker more, both skilled and unskilled, than the adaptable little bolero packet. With this abbreviated coat almost any line desired may be obtained for the wearer, be she stout or thin, long or short. The bolero is used not alone as a wrap, but also as part of a costume, and even the little shirt-waist suit may have a simulated bolero. The model here illustrated is typical; one readily sees how the waist line may be changed to suit the passing fancy. For a stout person a slight dip in front may be used. Weddings of princesses always affect the fashions, and now the trousseau prepared for the young sister of the king of Spain has brought forward the beautiful old Spanish laces. One of the trousseau costumes is an Empire gown of Spanish lace. Heavy Armenian embroidery on a thin gauze ground is a novelty in trimming, a very pretty one. A touch of color will be seen on everything. And the various embroideries now brought forth give this touch in a most acceptable way. Sky-blue, which we have not seen for ages, promises to be in high favor, just a morsel of In Union There is Strength. country is treated to goody showers, and a rain coat is almost an essential; then it comes in very handy to take along on summer travels and summer outings. Among the most attractive materials now on display are the rough weaves in silks. They come both plain and figured, and make up nicely for suits, for separate skirts and for waists. We feel tempted to make use with reference to them of the much-abused word "artistic." For spring nothing could be more charming than a silver gray in the rough or semi-rough weave. Some of the grays show a fine hair-line of black, the line so fine that at a distance the goods appear but the one color. Japanese silks make up very nicely for the styles now in vogue, and these are inexpensive as well as pretty. Wash-silk waists are highly recommended for spring and summer wear. Japanese and China silks are coming into common use as foundations and linings, clinging effects now so well liked. Little loose coats of bengaline silk, elaborately trimmed with braid, promise to be the height of fashion; and such a wrap as this is really most convenient for warm weather wear. In spite of predictions to the contrary, the dress spring coat will as a rule have short sleeves and probably be collarless. Linen embroideries on coats of wool or silk will be a feature, and a very charming feature, of spring fashions; the ground of these trimmings cream colored or cern, the embroidery in soft, rich colors. And with reference to the black silk coats, one may use almost any style of silk, remodel very acceptably from old material in the house—so many different black silks now in use, all the way from crisp taffeta to soft peau de soie. Wedgewood blue—certainly an exquisite shade—promises to supplant other blues as the very best style. Soft illac tons are in favor, in spite of the way in which they were made so common the past winter. The oldrose shades continue in fashion, and delicately-toned backgrounds for hairlines will appear with the first pleasant days of the spring. Soft, indistinct plaids will be worn, these so much more attractive than startling contrasts. this bright hue made use of. And the peacock blues and greens will continue to be the fashion. This spring will certainly be a season of color, the coming summer a white season. For evening and elaborate afternoon affairs the flounced skirt will be worn, net and lace the materials used for these frocks. The sleeves are made to match the skirt, just a succession of frills. An addition to my lady's stock of furbelows is the neglege skirt, a moss of fluffy frills. China silk makes a charming neglege petticoat, and has the advantage of laundering nicely—these should be light-colored, and will need be of such stuff as will bear tubbing. Worn with an open tea gown or matinee sack they are very charming and luxurious—and really need not cost a fortune. A petticoat not quite so frivolous as the above is a black and white striped taffeta trimmed with rows of black ribbon edging circular flounces. For the lingerie petticoat, the season's new models show lace combined with embroidery, a rather elaborate trimming, but on the whole very attractive. ELLEN OSMONDE. SIGNS ARE MISTAKABLE. As Is Illustrated in This Truthful Little Story of a Boastful Detective. A young detective at a public meeting was anxious to display his powers of shrewd perception to a friend who was with him. "Do you see that shabby-looking man over there, who has been furtively watching me all the time?" he said. "That fellow is after no good. He evidently suspects who I am, or he would probably be engaged in trying the pockets of his neighbors. Do you notice his shifty eyes and his restless movements? They are unmistakable signs of the thief. I mean to keep my eye on him, or somebody will be the poorer." The young man's friend listened with respectful attention, and watched with some curiosity the movements of the suspected man. To their surprise he took advantage of a lull in the proceedings to approach them. "Excuse me," he said courteously, to the detective, "but your diamond scarf-pin has fallen out of your tie. I have been watching it work its way out for the last ten minutes, but could not warn you before, and have been quite nervous about it." And as he stooped to recover his property the young detective blush-ly reflected on the deceitfulness of appearances. Up to Nature. First Artist—Get any ideas, old man? Second Artist—Well, I guess yes. Got a bang-up sketch of a cyclone in action. "What in thunder can you do with a cyclone?" "Do with it? What do you suppose? I'm going to use it for the hair in my new portrait of the American girl."—Puck. Seasonable. Patience—What color do you think would go with my turkey-red dress? Patrice—Why, crushed cranberry, of course.—Yonkers Statesman. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906. Mississippi Afro-Americans Have that Number. WARD, CALLOWAY, BATESAND TAYLOR Two Win Oratorical Contests—Receives $7,150 a year—Lost All Her Wealth—Bobby Dobbs Wins—Turned Nearly Dr. Henry W. Furniss' salary as United States minister to Haiti is $1,500 a year. Now is the time to subscribe for The Gazette. Tell all your friends and acquaintances. Mississippi Afro-Americans have two banks at Vicksburg and one each at Greenville, Indianola, Hattiesburg, Jackson and Mound Bayou. An Afro-American student from the University of Wisconsin won the birthday anniversary oratorical contest before the Hamilton club of Chicago. Mrs. Laura Avett, the wealthiest Afro-American woman in southern Indiana, died January 15 at Princeton. She was an ex-slave and has a brother and sister living at Oberlin. Bobby Dobbs, who has been living in England for a long time, pulled off another victory at Cardiff, Wales, recently. He won over George Roach on a foul in eight rounds. Dobbs has been doing great work as a boxing teacher across the pond. Samuel Taylor graduated from Shortridge high school, Indianapolis, Ind., entered upon his freshman year with the oratorical honors of the Inter-state debate. He has the distinction of being the first Afro-American to do so. H. T. Calloway, of New Orleans, has established a mail order tailoring business in Chicago, with offices for gentlemen and ladies, and is doing a large business in the south and southwest, giving employment to 16 Afro-American traveling men. He ships over 5,000 suits a year. Stephen Bates, an Afro-American, has been chief of police and city sheriff of Vergennes, Vt., for 26 consecutive years. He was born of free parents at Shirley, Va., nearly 64 years ago. Bates is a very intelligent man, entirely self-taught, and occupies a high place in the estimation of tl community where he lives. In one little town in South Carolina, with a population of 1,400 all told, there are 14 colored churches alone, to say nothing of the number of white churches. And the morals of that village are as bad as they are any other place in the state. Fewer churches means better support and more Christianity—Xenia O. (O. Standard). Cornelius Vanderbilt Washington, a farmer living near Miss, has become wise. He had a strange habit of 12 years ago and began turning white, and with the exception of small spots on his body his skin is entirely white. His hair and other distinct characteristics remain. He is 45 years of age. Others near Durant are becoming spotted and it is believed they will also turn white. The Co-operative Tropical Fruit Co., which owns a 10,000-acre banana plantation in Honduras, C. A., has completed arrangements with Booker T. Washington to employ 5,000 southern Afro-Americanians. The president of the company says they are adapted to the kind of work. This is the first practical effort of the kind in favor of the Afro-American from a purely business standpoint. J. D. Ward, of Indianapolis, Ind., is said to be a master architect, a high class artificer and commands a great business in the most careful construction of plans for fine buildings. He is an acknowledged authority on all technical points. A well known Indianapolis contractor said recently: "I consider Ward an architect of the first water because I have handled his plans with so great a success that I think capable of most anything in architecture." Mrs. Douglass, of Quincy, Ill., a widow of a soldier who received a pension, was a member of the A. M. E. church there and several secret societies. She lost her wealth as a result of giving her money and property while ill into the hands of an evil-minded white man, who did not even attend her funeral or hire a nurse to attend her while sick. Rev. Giles, pastor of Bethel church, visited her a few hours before her death and found her alone. She begged him to have her removed to a hospital. "Do not let me die like a dog," she cried.

Lyons, register of the treasury, in a formal statement declares that an article published in a weekly newspaper in New York, written from Washington under date of January 28, which says that he gave out or inspired the statement published some two weeks ago that the president would replace all Afro-Americans holding offices in the south by white men, "is untrue and without one lota of foundation, so far as it makes me the author or inspiror of that statement."

State Fire Marshal and Chairman of the Cuyahoga Republican Executive Committee—Former Mayor of a Southern Ohio City—A Friend of the Race. We give above an excellent portrait of Hon. H. D. Davis whose miserable treatment by an alleged republican daily paper of this city was detailed at length in our last issue. It was our intention to give Mr. Davis' portrait in connection with that publication but were unable to do so. Ever since his advent into the city some eight or ten years ago from Hillsboro, O., where he had served two terms as mayor, Mr. Davis and the editor of The Gazette have been good friends, and we were pleased very much indeed to be able to give in our last issue his letter branding as "A Bare-Faced Lie," the alleged interview of the administrative local daily paper in which he was asked to indorse southern disfranchisement. It was so very pleasing to be able to publish a statement which pledged anew in no uncertain terms a continuance of his life-long friendship for and interest in the race. Hy is the "right sort" and will be so regarded by our people of this city in spite of the Cleveland Leader's contemptible interview and mistreatment. THEIR ANNUAL DINNER.

Columbus, O.—In 1887 the legislature passed an act, establishing, in connection with Wilberfore university, a combined normal and industrial department. One-half of the money appropriated by the state was to go to the university, which was not a state institution, for the use of its buildings and other property. The other half—$2,500—was to be devoted to the work of training teachers. 2 ——E———EE THE GAZETTE. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, ‘SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

SaaS CRAZY TOM DIXON. This man Dixon we have recently learned was not an apt and bright stu- dent while at school, but a boy inclin- ed much to caricature and exaggera- tion. As an essayist he sought to be sensational, and as a delineator he placed the ideal for the real, ofttimes substituting falsehood for truth. He was an alarmist as well as an extrem. Ist and not infrequently terrorizing the minds of his fellow students with some frightful foreboding of the im- possible. He delighted to have around him groups of listeners, who regarded him as being visionary and unsafe as, @ leader. From any point of view he was pessimistic and a purely eccentric being. Were his relations with the people the se as those sustained with his fellows at school, he would be better understood and known as a mere mediocre and a man of small calibre, elther intellectually or mor- ally. If he has ever advanced a single great thought in all his mad thrusts against the American Negro, the world has not yet discovered it. He Indulges now in the same idle flings against our people that he was wont to do, when at school he made the abuse of the Negro boy his hobby. He has finally become a confirmed inebri- ate, no extremely intemperate upon the race question that he never finds time to deal with any matter save that of hounding the Afro-American from pillar to post. He hears the call of the hunter's horn and at a single bound he is on the trail of his victim, yelping and barking with no certainty as to whether he had scented a harm- Jess lamb or tho carcass of some worthless traducer. Tom Dixon has ‘not lost his reason, he has not pos- ‘sessed it to that degree to enable him to adduce an original thought. He de- pends rather upon those attainments which he acquired from long disci- pline and by singleness of purpose. He thas attained distinction as a maligner and s trailer, yet llke @ mad demon ‘nd @ monomaniac, breeding discord and venting his spleen against his brother man. Ob, says he, "if I were keeper of hell I would not admit a Ne- ro into {ts confines.” This poor worm of the dust offers such a declaration as a home thrust to exclude the Ne- gro from any place in God's universe. ‘The remark is not ofily the emanation of brutality, but it is the outcropping ot a depraved and insane mind. To say the least it was cowardly, because it would never have been uttered ‘through fear of a dreaded enemy, but throughs morbid and truckling sensi- ‘bility toward the “superior” race, to whom all sycophants very naturally bow. No one can truthfully deny that Tom Dixon is a disvensionist and’ a consummate traitor to humanity. He has no honest conception of his ob- gation to mankind, for like a devour- ing beast, he ventures forth to destroy ‘his brother In black only to gratify the propensity developed in his doyhood days. Author of “The Leopard 8} "he offers now his fatest wore "The Clabeman,” with plans stmilar in purpose and nature to that of the old Ku Klux Klan, which proved iteelf so destructive and venge- ful under the leadership of Gen. Bed- ford Forrest, of Memphis, Tenn., the chief of Negro haters. Dixon endorses ‘the cruel and bloody methods of the Ku Klux Klan in “The Clansman” and recommends their reorganization. But the better element of the south protest against such madness. 9> when certain citizens of Birmingham, ‘Ala, informed him that an organiza. tion of the “Sons of @lansman” has been formed, he sees the perfidy of his erime; he pauses and then writes to his misguided allies whom he has so shamefully beguiled and says: “I fear the organtzation of the ‘Sons of Clans. man’ is a little premature." This bad man shows the design of an evil heart, especially so since he plots desolation ‘and death against his own fellow countrymen, But he pauses at the magnitude of bis terrible crime and pleads that he fears that the under- taking is “premature.” Premature! Premature, to begin the butchery of outhern negroes. With bewitching fnsinuation he colls himself in the work of fiction and like serpent fastens his fangs in the bieeding, pros rate form of the ae nent and persecuted Negro, and demands that be shall now die at the bands of the midnight assassin. But conscience (whips the man itke e guilty miscreant. Polly realising that the sentiment of ‘country ie not in sympathy with Iie (reasonable designs, he Dewails the mingling of white and colored peo- pie together sn northern cities and povdoles the action of four southern Pe Geeta who he THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906. fara, are now favoring amalgamation of the races. He felgns to be alarmed for American civilization and In piti- ous whining declares that at the in. stance of Bishop Gailor, of Tennessee, he has been importuned to lend his in- fluene> to s4ve southern civilization from the corruption of the Negro. What imbecility! What blindness in the man, that the growing wealth, the broad intelligence, the culture and high civilization of @ grand and pow- erful race are to deteriorate and be- come corrupted by a people, the crea- tures of one blood and of God's own creation. But Dixon offers no protest against the clandestine meeting of southern white men with sovthern colored women. He sees no shame in the evil of such unlawful cohabitation. He finds no time to Impose restraints upon shose who violate laws, Without fone plea for justice or the mutual maintainance of the moral law and the brotherhood of man, he wages a relentless fight against those to whom he is called to rescue and to save Blind to every sense of duty and honor as a citizen and a man, and hav. Ing no concern as to the Interior workings of the nation and the mighty evils of religious caste, of idolatry and Godlessness, he beats the wind and spreads the deadly leprosy of so. clal disease, discord, disaster and Jdesolation among the people.

BLAIR'S SUCCESS, Fairbanks, 8, D.—The following is from the Sioux Gly Journal of Satur- day: “Interest at the stock yards yester- day was centered in a load of hogs re celved from 21 miles north of Plerre, 8. D. They were shipped by B. Pi Blais, a progressive (Afro-American) farmer of Hughes county. A more flattering compliment could not be pald Co this apparenuy new industry of that section than the fact that these hogs commanded the top of the market. ‘This was the second load of hogs to be shipped out of Plerre, the other load being sent out by Mrs. P.

Wolfe, Once a Teacher in a Mormon College, Gives Evidence to Senators. Washington, Feb. §—Exposure of Mormon polygamous marriages and of the secret oath of vengeance taken in the “Endowment House” at Salt Lake City were made Wednesday by Prof. ‘Walter M, Wolfe, formerly professor in Brigham Young college at Logan, Utah, “but now an. apostate of the church because a month ago he te- fused longer to comply with the de- mand for tithes. His testimony: was taken before the senate committee hearing evidence against the seating of Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, which has already continued intermittently through two sessions of vongress and will probably drag along until the end of the pres- ent session. “twelve times," answered Prof, Wolfe when asked how many times he had been through the endowment house or temple, he explained, as the endowment house was torn down many years ago. “Did you take any oaths when you went through?” asked Mr. Carlisle. “Every time,” he replied. Asked to detail them, he said there had been obligations of charity, sacrifice and vengeance. “"What do you mean by vengeance?” asked Mr. Carlisle. “Do you mean ‘there was a promise or pledge given ‘to avenge something?” ‘The witness then said that this oath had been taken: “You and each of ‘you do covenant and pray, and never ‘cease to pray God to avenge the blood ‘of the prophet on this nation.” “Mr. Worthington asked concerning ‘the oaths in the temple and the wit- ness sald he believed that in the obli- ‘gation of vengeance, “the seed of trea. Son is planted." He said he realized that within an hour after he had taken the oath and had taken it only once for himself. The other 11 times, he ‘sald, had been for dead persons. ‘An qffort was made by Mr. Worth. ington to procure an unqualified an- swer as to whether there was anything in the endowment house ceremony which would interfere with anyone taking it serving in the United States senate, and whether such per- son's dutles to the church and country would conflict. ‘The witness declared ‘that every Mormon’s first duty is to | the Church of Latter Dey.

New York, Feb. §—From drinking too freely of wood alcohol which had been smuggled into Castle William, the military prison on Governor's Isl- and, one soldier is dead, another is dying and eight are seriously ill in the hospital. Gen, Grant, in command of the Department of the East, has or- dered a rigid investigation ‘Robert Elwell, 26 years old, a priy- ate serving a two years’ sentence for desertion from a New England post, was the first to show the effects of the alcohol. Early yesterday he aroused the entire castle with cries of “Help. I am burning up. Will nobody help me? I am burning up.” When the guard reached his side he was writh- ing in pain, shrieking and crying for help. He was removed to the hospital and the post surgeon was summoned. Restoratives failed and he died in a few minutes, Scarcely had his cries ceased when screams came from the cell occupied by Richard Sullivan, a private, also 26 years old, who is serving a short term for desertion. Sullivan was removed to the hospital and at a late hour was reported unconscious with little pros. pect of recovery. It was not until efght other prisoners were found writhing and moaning from pain that the real source of the trouble was learned. TOO MUCH RED TAPE.

WESTERN CANADA'S: MARVELOUS RETURNS. ‘The increase in the crop returns of tho Canadian West, in the past seven years, has approached the marvelous, and there is no reason to believe that a corresponding increase will not re- sult for many years to come. The in- crease has ‘been particularly noticeable in what was formerly known as the Northwest Territories, but which, on September 1, 1905, became the prov inces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. From theofficial returns we find the following results in the acreage sown to wheat, oats and barley in the years mentioned, and a more favorable show- ing cannot be pointed to in any other country during a like period, ‘Wheat. Oats, Barley, 1898......207,580 105,077 17,092 1899...,..368,623 134,038 14,276 1900......412,864 175,499 «17,044 1901......504,697 229,499 24,702 1902......625,758 310.367 36,445 1902......887,234 440,662 68,974 1904...2..965,549 523.624 98,154 ‘The yield has been uniformly. good every year except 1900, when there ap- pears to have been a slump all along the line, This, however, was more than compensated for in the following year, when the bumper crop in wheat, oats and barley put the returns of all previous years completely in the shade and gave an impetus to settlement in the west which has prevailed to the present, as the following table by bush- ‘Wheat.
