THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 29. The Fashions of the Day The Princess for Mademoiselle Two features of the styles prevailing this winter we have noted with decided approval; the afternoon gowns of fine cloth, and the cloth suits in pastel shades. Days past and present have brought forth a multitude of very pretty separate blouses, but there is something about a costume, skirt and waist the same color, that makes for harmony and completeness as the other sort of toilet does not. And we would emphasize that a handsome costume of fine cloth is about as satisfactory as anything procurable in the way of clothes. The illustration pictures a simple model, but one with unmistakable attention to cut, unmistakable study of good lines. It is one of the lavender and dark plum combinations, and trimmed with touches of plain dark cloth edged with silver braid and lavender silk pleating. A small unobtrusive hat fits in well with this costume, a lavender panne trimmed with purple plume of darker shade, the chemisette is of white silk with tiny frill of thread lace. This gown might be worn almost any hour of the day, it is a very good illustration of elegant simplicity. The cloth suit in pastel shades is suitable to wear for occasions that require something just short of full dress, and yet some women have been foolish enough this winter to go shopping in old-rose and light gray-greens. We are willing to admit the lingerie blouse is not impossible when shopping, but a very light broadcloth certainly is out of place. To return to the costume in its proper place, discuss the way it is made and trimmed—the best have the long circular skirt with seam in front and a wide swing from below the hips. About the hips the skirt fits smoothly, but there is no shape outlining, just an easy curve. It may be absolutely untrimmed, it may have a milliner's fold near the hem. The coat is fashioned very like a man's four-button cut-out; it is lined with satin a little lighter in shade than the coat material, down the front and adorning the sleeves are large pink velvet buttons with a silver rim. The coat is an old-rose felt trimmed with a pluma of American Beauty red. Other pastel shades we would speak of, are Chinese blue, Parma lettuce green. The blouse to wear with these exquisite cloth suits is the white lingerie over a colorless slip. Have a belt of the dress material. Wide girdles are still in fashion, the Of course it is a draped princess, for the average girl of sweet sixteen would look angular in a tightly fitted frock of this style. And we would suggest that Miss Sweet Sixteen does not sheathe her young form in any stiff cage of steel, but that she affect the small ribbon corset, a mere girdle. This is sufficient to give roundness and neatness to her waist, and does not at all compress the growing figure. The frock here illustrated is made of brown volle, the chemisette and frills are of creamy lace. The bodice is quite full and draped in softest folds, the ankle-length skirt is decidedly full at the hem. Two or three chemisette sets should accompany the frock, that this dainty accessory may always be dainty and spotless. If the frock were blue, it would be pretty to have one chemisette of tucked pale blue lawn, this with the white lace fills particularly fresh and charming. Stockings and shoes must be selected with care, for mademoiselle's feet are rather prominent. With the brown frock, brown hose and bronz slippers would go nicely, and with the blue either black or blue would be ap- THE LADY'S DRESS DRAPED PRINCESS. propriate. This is a season of harmony in color, both for mothers and daughters. A useful and attractive addition to such a dress as here described, would be one of the fetching little boleros. It may be made of the same material as the dress, or of silk the same shade. Make it double breasted and falling in wide box-pleats from a square yoke. It should be very short to give the effect now favored, come well above the waist line. There are all manner of darling little boleros especially suitable for mademoiselle. There is a double-breasted one cut low in the front and fastening down to the waist line with big velvet buttons, the sleeves, of but elbow length, slashed almost to the shoulder and filled in with lace frills. This bolero in fact constitutes a bodice In Union There Is Strength. color matching the gown and no contrast see save perhaps a narrow trimming of gold or silver braid. This morning at one of the exclusive shops we noticed something in trimming on a white gown, a sort of cord of white satin used as braiding. The design was simple, the effect good. At the same house were seen two white wash frocks; one was elaborately embroidered in open work and leaves; the other a bolero quite elaborately braided with heavy braid. It would seem the bolero is to be more than ever in evidence the coming season. An inexpensive evening dress may be made of remnants of cream net and ceru lace. Tuck the net and alternate groups of tucks with inset of the lace. Make a fichu of net, and let the long GRACEFUL AFTERNOON GOWN. ends fall below the waist. Worn with this should be a girule of cream silk ribbon beflowered with pink rose-buds and in the hair about the coronet braid it would be effective to twine a wreath of buds and blossoms—flowers now playing an important part in coiffure decoration. Last year we had enormously long fur pieces, and this year we see both long and short. One of the prettiest things, and most becoming and daly, is the unobtructive smallermine neckpiece. It gives a lovely touch to a cosmetics cabinet of its modesty is superior to cambersome, flaunting capes and pelerine. when worn over long chemisette of lace. Another little jacket effect is given by a prettily rounded bolero worn over a fluffy bodice of net or lace, the one quite short all around. The bolero should always be cut to suit the individual figure; this girl needing to have the waist lengthened, that girl needing more kindly curves. The bolero is a good friend to the slender miss. The frocks and accessories mentioned above, of course are meant for dressy wear. For everyday, mademoiselle if she would be truly "smart", must eschew furbelsow and fuss. For everyday wear nothing is better than a full-box-pleated skirt of dark serge worn with a trim white shirt waist and belted perhaps with a gay red leather belt. The big ribbon hair bows that stand out with such butterfly spread, would give a finishing touch to this jauyn toilet. The separate coat of three-quarter length, warm and heavy enough for the coldest days, is the sensible wrap of the season. THE FLOWER GARDEN. The Permanent Flowering Plants Require the Least Care and in the End Cost the Least. May is the great month in the flower garden, for most flower seeds are planted during the first two weeks in May. The exceptions are those extremely hardy things like sweet peas, mignonette, Drummond phlox, sweet alyssum and California poppy, which may even be sowed the fall before for earliest spring bloom. To many people a flower garden means only a small inclosed place where chickens and dogs are not supposed to break in and where backache and annual flowers are cultivated. Yet the whole lot upon which the house stands is, or ought to be, a garden, and the relative importance of the various departments of an outdoor living room are about as follows: 1. The trees and shrubs near the house and on the borders of the place. 2. The vines on the walls and porch. 3. The lawn, free from flower beds. 4. The informal border of hardy perennials. 5. The annual flowers that fill in the gaps. 6. The coleus and other gaudy bedding plants. The most permanent plants, like the flowering trees, shrubs and vines, are the ones that require the least care, and cost the least in the long run, as compared with annual flowers, the seeds of which must be sown every year. It is human nature to think last of trees, shrubs and vines, because their first cost is greater, but let us resolve to put all our spare money and strength into the permanent things this year and depend on the bounty of friends, if necessary, for flower seeds.—Wilhelm Miller. To Take Out Iron Rust To take out iron rust dip the spot into a strong solution of tartaric acid and expose to the sun. When dry wet the article with warm soapsuds; rub the stain with ripe tomato juice, expose to the sun again, and when the stain is nearly dry wash in more suds. This is a good method.

Dayton, O.—The final chapter in the career of the dead poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, was closed Monday afternoon with the consignment of the earthly remains to the receiving vault at Woodland cemetery. The funeral services were conducted at Eaker Street A. M. E. church, of which the deceased was a member. Although the program of the churches was elaborate in detail, there was an absence of ostentations display, which was in perfect keeping with the life of the dead poet laureate. The remains lay in state at the residence on North Summit street from 9 o'clock until shortly before the funeral hour. During that time hundreds of friends and admirers from DUNBAR AS A LAD. all stations of life of both races called and in silent sorrow passed the bier of the dead. The casket, a handsome steel gray of the couch pattern, reposed in the front parlor of the Dunbar residence, and around it were banked a multitude of handsome floral designs, notable among which were two handsome blanket pieces one from James Whitcomb Riley, the "Hoosier" poet, consisting of white lilacs and lilies; the other of American Beauty roses from Steele high school. These two designs completely covered the casket when it was placed in the hearse; other designs were placed in the hearse and indented and were in profusion. Those who acted as palibearers were selected from his classmates at Steele high school, and from his intimate friends. They were: Ezra Kuhn, Dr. Walter L. Kline and Harry Eckl, classmates, and Charles Higgins, Edward Deaton and Adam Hickman, who were with the poet the greater part of the time before he died. The service at the church opened with the reading of a hymn by Rev. Bass, followed by a prayer by Rev. Dr. Harper, pastor of Zion Baptist church. The invocation was followed by a quartet, who sang "Lead, Kindly Light." Rev. Geo. Bundy, rector of St. Margaret's mission, then read the Scripture, which was comforting and beautifully appropriate. Dr. Drury, of the Union Biblical学会, read St. Margaret's mission, which received in brief the life of the deceased. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Woodson, pastor of Eaker Street church. Following Rev. Woodson, Prof. Simpson, of Wilberforce university, sang "Far Away." An address by Dr. Funkhouser, of the Union Biblical seminary, then followed. Dr. Funkhouser paid a splendid tribute to the memory of the dead, touching upon his life work, the influence the poet had been to his race and all mankind, and the great irreparable loss his death has been. Dr. Tobey, of the State hospital, of Toledo, magazine writer, and close friend of Paul掌握 Dunbar, Ray G. Woodson, of Toledo, which was followed by an address by Prof. Scarborough, of Wilberforce university. "Only Remembered by What We Have Done" was sung by Mrs. T. W. Woodson and Miss Lulu Henderson. The services closed with a prayer by Rev. Dr. Clark, of Cincinnati. The casket was taken at the church, for a leave-taking by the friends. Long before the hour of the funeral the capacity of the church was taxed by the friends, who each attended the funeral with a feeling of grief and personal loss. It was the largest attended in the history of Dayton. There were a large number of persons from out of the city attending who had been personal friends of the poet. Despite the announcement from Willingham, Delia, that Mrs. Alice Dunbar, the wife of the deceased, would attend, she did not make herself known to any of the family immediate friends. A large number of telegrams and messages of condemnation were received at the Dunbar home Monday from persons prominent in all walks of life, each expressing the deepest sympathy for the aged mother in her hour of grief. It was at the request of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar that the remains were placed in the receiving vault at Woodland, where they will remain for a few months before being interred in the family loe. Although the greater soul of the poet has departed and his songs will no longer be heard from his lips, yet his beautiful lyrics will ever remain a sweet memory to all. It was a beautiful consolation to the aged mother that her son was conscious to the last, and his thoughts were filled with faith and hope. His last words were a fragment of the 23d Psalm. Just as the ice hand of Death began to close upon the soul, the feeble voice repeated, "zea, though I pass through the valley and the shadow of death, I—" there was a gasp and the spirit followed the bidding of the death angel, Paul Laurence Dunbar was no more.

After an illness of seven years, the last three of which he suffered greatly, Paul Laurence Dunbar, of Dayton, the poet, died at his home there at 3:30 p. m. last week Friday. Consumption and stomach trouble were the causes of death. Despite his illness, Mr. Dunbar kept at his work intermittently and wrote his last poem just before Christmas for his book entitled, "Howdy, Honey, Howdy." His best known poem is, "When Mallinda Sings," which was dedicated to his mother. His Best-Known Works. His authorship includes the following: "Oak and Ivy," published in 1893; "Majors and Minors," 1895; "Lyrics of the Lowly Life," 1896; "Folks From Dixie," 1898; "The Uncalled," 1898; "Lyrics of the Heartside," 1899; "Poems of Cabin and Field," 1899; "The Strength of Gideon," 1900; "The Love of Landry," 1900; "The Sport of the Gods," (novel) 1901; "The Fanatics," (novel) 1901; "Candle-Lightin' Time," (poems) 1902; "Lyrics of Love and Laughter," (poems) 1903; "Heart of Happy Hollow," 1904; "Lil' Gal," (poems) 1904; "Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow," 1905; "Howdy, Honey, Howdy," 1905. Mr. Dunbar was born in Dayton June 27, 1872, and made money enough to attend school by selling newspapers and running an elevator in a hotel. Although he began to write verse when seven years old his work did not attract attention until he was in the high school. His first effort of note was "Oak and Ivy." Dayton High School Graduate.

The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Daily Leader for its excellent portrait of Paul Laurence Dunbar His aged mother has the sympathy of all. May God bless and comfort her. We knew Paul Dunbar from boyhood and loved him. He was our friend throughout his career and but a few weeks ago sent us his last communication. May his soul rest in peace. TOADYING TO DR. WASHINGTON Conscience smitten and goaded Tom' Dixon, the incomparable defamer, offers Prof. Booker T. Washington $10,000 upon conditions not to be determined. In addressing Mr. Washington, he says: "I hereby propose to contribute $10,000 from the profits of The Clansman to Tuskegee institute, provided you give complete and satisfactory proof that you do not desire social equality for the Negro and that your school is opposed to the amalgamation of the races. Sincerely yours, Thomas Dixon, Jr." The above evidences only so much of superlative nonsense! What if Mr. Washington does not desire social equality and what though the school stands opposed to amalgamation? That would not justify the principal of Tuskegee school accepting a donation secured at such a terrible cost to the race. "The Clansman" is designed from its very nature to darken every pleasing prospect of Afro-Americans and to anathematize them beyond all hope of ever being more than hewers of wood and drawers of water in a land noted for its claims to the broadest principles of freedom and humanity. The book is well known to a majority of our people, and should Mr. Washington accept the offer we believe that the judgment of Almighty God would doom the school to irretrievable repudiation. Tom Dixon is designing and seeks to be sensational. We do not doubt his desire to have his book placed upon the market. He assumes that the Negro is unscrupulous and void of principle, yet he would have Mr. Washington and his adherents aid in what fairest possible book. But for no price and under no consideration will the better class of our people give ear to a proposition that is at once base and degraded to the race. It is too well known that Afro-Americans as a people are wholly and absolutely unconcerned in regard to the blind subterfuge of social equality. The phrase is too meaningless and empty in the face of the enforced intermingling that is so defiantly maintained on the part of the corrupt dominant element in the south. We are satisfied that the principal of Tuskegee is opposed to the mixing of the races in the south and is as earnestly opposed to bringing the two races in that section into social relations, from the fact that circumstances forbid such a condition of things. Hence Mr. Washington is not prepared to accept the idle offer, for knowing that the book itself, in the language of William Lloyd Garrison, "is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell," he would prove himself a base traitor to enter into such a bargain. THE MOB PLAYING WITH FIRE. Mob violence seems to be on the rage in Tennessee. Why all this mad outbreak against the defenseless blacks is offered is still the perplexing problem. Only about two weeks ago a foolish prank was played by an unknown person visiting the home of a white family attempting, it is believed, to commit an assault upon a young girl. The stranger was hunted down and shot to death. Of course the conclusion reached was that a Negro was the culprit and men of the race were sent to receive the body and give it a burial. Afro-Americans repaired to the place where the body then laid. To their great consternation, it soon became known that the unknown person was a white man with a blackened face. Our men turned away and reported the case to the authorities. White men would hardly believe their own eyes. But seeing was knowing. At once words of regret were audibly heard, for a white scoundrel was murdered in the open day without judge or jury. The realization was stunned in the extreme, for there was an absence of vindictive wrath in the face of the terrible truth that a white brute was murdered through a mistaken public opinion. Men dared to THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1906. investigate in order to determine who was who, and reached the startling fact that they had killed a white cur, believing him to be a Negro. There are, however, hundreds of cases which still remain unrevealed. Only a few days ago Chattanooga was in a heated excitement aroused through the action of the mob seeking the life of an Afro-American. At the instance of Hon. H. Clay Evans, at the head of a strong committee, the crowd of more than a thousand men was dispersed, Mr. Evans barely escaping with his own life. Almost about the same time of the above riotousness a drunken white loafer called at the home of a respectful Afro-American family where he knew were certain handsome young women of the race. He demanded admittance, but was refused. He offered threats and abuse, but was repulsed. Hardly had he left before he again returned. He demanded admittance, but to no avail. He broke in the front glass and emptied his revolver indiscriminately into the front room and into the midst of the inmates. The women screamed and begged for protection and strong men scrambled into the back yard to escape being killed. The women never thought of leaving the room. Crouching down in one corner he called to his terrible foe to desist his shooting. "Ah," said this drunken foe, "you are there, are you?" The white brite fired upon the Afro-American. The latter bravely responded and killed his antagonist. It was a moment of awful suspense, for the family now feared for the worst. The father and husband, defending his home and loved ones from a nefarious attack, knew not what he should do. To go and surrender himself meant certain and immediate death from the mob. He concealed himself around the home. Very early in the morning the word was spread abroad that a negro had killed a white "man." A large mob gathered to do their bloody and lawless work. The Afro-American was spirited away, but the mob moves on his trall, building a fire against the government of the nation. Returned $1,600. Springfield, O.—David Jones walked into a large clothing store and bought a quarter pair of suspenders. He made the purchase just as the cashier was wrapping up the day's proceeds of the entire store to take to the bank. She used the same kind of paper to wrap up the money and the suspenders and got the two packages mixed. As a result the Afro-American got an even $1,600 and the girl gave the suspenders to the manager to take to the bank. After the mistake was discovered the whole force turned out to watch trains and depots, but to no avail. At 5 o'clock the man walked into the store with the money, his wife having discovered the mistake on opening the package. This reminds me of the Amber and the Hollened house, Cleveland, who recently found $5,000 worth of jewels a guest had misplaced and promptly turned them in at the office.

We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Springfield, Zanesville, East Liverpool, Urbana, Akron, Ravenna, Oberlin, youngstown, Piqua, Bellaire, Gallipolis, Delaware, Lima, Lorain, Portmouth, Circleville, Kenton, Hamilton, Sandusky, O.; Pittsburg Allegheny, Wickley, Sharon and New Castle, Pa.; Wheeling and Parkersburg, W. Va., and other places where we have none. The author of The Gazette Blackstone building, Cleveland, O, and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. WHEN GOING TO PITTS I should say, select the R. R. that has the greatest number of fast trains, has the shortest line from Cleveland and the road that stops Sunday, that uses safety block signals, has double track all the way, that charges only 50c for a parlor car seat, that runs a cafe club car, in which you only pay for what you order. 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 Beaver River. Then it's the Erie 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. Treatment Varies. Topeka, Kan.-The state supreme court has ruled that our children must be admitted to the same schoolrooms as white children in Kansas cities of the second class. The decision does not affect that recently handed down by which the court ruled that in cities of the first class our and white children shall occupy separate rooms. Neither of these decisions would stand the tests of higher courts. Our people should carry both cases up and wipe out the part color line in the schools of this state.

Then he stooped over and said: "I had an uncle, ma'ma, that had just that same affliction." "Sir," said the stout lady, with quite an insulted air. "Yes," continued the angular man, "he couldn't pronounce any word beginning with 't' to his save his neck. He'd stutter and stammer, and the best he could do would be to give it the sound of 's'. It was a dreadful affliction. His eldest son was Theophilus, but he called him Sophilus. Have you had it long, ma'ma?" The stout lady was dark-red with vexation and mystification. "Well, I don't wonder you hate to hear anyone refer to it." said the man, with cheerfulness. "But I couldn't help noticing it when you took my seat and wasn't able to say 'Thank you.'

Man with Stock Took the Wrong Course to Get It Off His Dr. William's Pink Pills Make New Blood, a nightlight at the Root of blood. Hands. Anemia is just the doctor's name for bloodlessness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They cure anaemia just as food cures hunger. They cure Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N.J., and they can do as much for any other pale, weak, siling, bloodless person. Dr. Washington Gladden was talking to two young men about the evil of speculation "because speculation is gambling," he said. "It is injurious to the morals always, and in the majority of cases it is injurious to the public." "Whenever I am tempted to speculate, I think of Ben Smith and Asa Jones, of Pottsgrove, my native place. This thought "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning," says Mrs. McGann, "and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and there came a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anaemia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly a month, and I did not day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. "I and Asa, out walking one afternoon, got to talk about money matters. "I have some lying idle," said Ben Smith. "I think I take a flyer in the stock market. What is the best stock to buy?" "Greenland Improvement Preferred is the best thing I know of," Asa answered, "Where can I get some of it?" said Ben. "Asa replied promptly: "I can let you have all you want." "Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My mother, who swollen that I feared, would burst. Everybody loves juicy, tender radishes. Salzer knows this, hence he offers to send you absolutely free sufficient radish seed to keep you in tender radishes all sum up. "One day, while I was wondering how long I could live, feeling as I did, I received a booklet telling about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I saw the book and got to see the pills. Before the book was gone I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was as near the grave as I could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headache, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I am as cheaply and I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to lots of my friends." SALZER'S BARGAIN SEED BOOK with its wonderful surprises and great bargains!

It begins to be embarrassing to a high rank minister, and all are miserable sinners. The prayer book says so. To have from a third to a half of our friends caught in some of their sins while our continua private is conducive to self contempt, we must serve us out of a sackcloth apiece and ring in a general confession.-Life. WILD WITH ITCHING HUMOR. Eruption Broke Out in Spots All Over Body—Cured at Expense of Only $1.25—Thanks Cuticura. "The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thankful to you. My trouble was eruption of the skin, and I was very tired of my body, and caused a continual itching which nearly drove me wild at times. I got medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure me. I went to the ad, I sent to you for the Cuticura book and I studied my case in it. I then went to the drug store and bought one cake of cuticura, and I went to the ment, and one vial of Cuticura Pills. From the first application I received relief. I used the first set and two extra sets of cuticura. I was certainly cured. I had suffered for two years, and I again thank Cuticura for my cure. Claude N. Johnson, Maple Grove, F. D. 2.

Former Minister to China Says that Uncle Sam should help Chinese to Keep the Peace. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 15.—Edward M. Conger, for many years United States minister to China and who is staying at Pasadena for the winter, is quoted in an interview on the present anti-foreign agitation in China as follows: "The United States should warn China against a repetition of the terrible riots of a few years ago. "A show of warships should be made to impress upon the government of China that the trouble must not be repeated and will not be tolerated. "I am satisfied that serious trouble will come, but do not expect that it will be directed especially against the United States, but will be against the reigning Manchu dynasty. "The Manchus are insignificant in numbers and the present uprising is for the purpose of establishing a new dynasty and not to oust foreigners," continued Mr. Conger. "The most violent disturbances will be in the southern provinces and will endanger all foreign interests." "Americans within the zone of the rebellion are liable to get hurt before they can get out, and that is why the United States should let China know that it will not tolerate for an instant anything infimical to the interests of its citizens. "If China is permitted to think that it can ignore our interests something terrible will happen. "The trouble now will be a great struggle within the empire—a battle of a popular majority against the dynastic minority. It has been brewing for many years and has now apparently reached a climax." A FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE. Crews of Two Fishing Tugs Had a Narrow Escape from Death. Au Sable, Mich., Feb. 15—The crews of the fishing tugs Pierce and Deer, 12 men all told, had a thrilling escape from death Tuesday night in the severe storm which swept over the west shore of Lake Huron. Both tugs are on the beach a short distance south of Au Sable. The tugs were coming when the steering gear of the Pierce gave out. The tug drifted on a sand bar. Lines were thrown to the crew from the Deer and the six men were dragged through the icy waves to the deck of the Deer. Then the Deer went around and the two crews were forced to huddle the rest of the night in the pilot house, where they suffered intensely from the cold. Early yester-day they left the Deer and made their way over the lee in a blizzard. All were frost-bitten, while Capt. Lebaum, of the Deer, was badly frozen and Capt. Hurkett, of the Pierce, was injured by being caught in a hawser. Passed It Over His Veto. Chicago, Feb. 15.—The city council yesterday pasted an ordinance fixing the price to be paid for gas in this city at 85 cents per thousand feet. The ordinance was vetoed by Mayor Dunne, but the council passed it over his veto by a vote of 57 to 10. The mayor based his veto on the declaration that he considered 85 cents too high a price, and 75 cents a proper figure. He also asked that the gas companies be compelled to furnish free of cost to the city such gas as it needs for street lighting purposes. Voters Will Decide in April Chicago, Feb. 15.—At a special meeting yesterday of the city council an ordinance placing the saloon license at $600 instead of $500, the old figure, was favored by a vote of 35 to 32, but failed of passage by one vote, a majority of the whole council being 36. It was also ordered that the question of voting $75,000,000 for the purchase of street railways by the city be submitted to the voters of the city at the next election in April. Balfour Surrenders.

Fannie Fox Miss Luella Adams Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound: a Woman's Remedy for Women's Ills. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy, Tumor.

"In looking over your book I see that your medicine cures Tumors. I have been to a doctor and he tells me I have a tumor. I will be more than grateful if you can help me with an operation."—Fannie D. Fox, Bradford, Faia Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — (Second Letter) "I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine." "Eighteen months ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so badly I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician. I got a diagnosis and would have to undergo an operation." "I soon read after read your advertisements and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham a treatment. I got it and things like bottles as directed, the tumor is entirely gone. I have again been examined IN MEDICAL CIRCLES Austrian and German physicians have fixed on coffee as one of the causes of epilepsy. Many cases of deafness now under treatment by London physicians are attributable by them to influenza. Apparently healthy persons frequently carry diphtheria germs in the mouth, thereby infecting eating and drinking utensils, and in this way they may be instrumental in spreading the disease. Dr. Koch, the famous German scientist, is to take charge of an expedition to investigate the sleeping sickness in German East Africa. The German colonial department has, it is said, given a great sum of money toward the expenses of the expedition. When the floor of the operating theater of the old hospital at Canterbury, England, was torn up the other day the rings were discovered through which were passed the cords for tying patients down on the operating table prior to the discovery of anesthetics. An application has been made by the Japanese government to the British General Medical council, asking it to recognize the degrees of Japanese medical practitioners in various parts of the British empire. It is in the Straits Settlements that the Japanese doctors particularly wish leave to practice at present. A member of the British Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons says: "The growth of quack dog doctors and bogus medicines during the last few years has been simply appalling. These "dog specialists," as they call themselves, are usually dog dealers with good knowledge of canine habits but absolute ignorance of medicine." A Japanese scientist named Matsura has been studying the effects of diseases and the varying physical state of the body upon the growth and thickness of the hair. He finds that hair, especially in the case of persons whose hair is of coarse structure, is so sensitive to bodily condition that it contains a veritable history of the state of the individual to whom it belongs, for the period covered by its growth.

A BOY'S BREAKFAST. There's a Natural Food That Makes Its Own Way. There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls, N. Y., who is growing into sturdy manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It might have been different with him, as his mother explains: "My 11-year-old boy is large, well developed and active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape-Nuts food. At five years he was a very nervous child and was subject to frequent attacks of indigestion which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. He never seemed to care for anything for his breakfast until I tried Grape-Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always relished by him and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal. "Better than all, he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervousness, and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he began to use Grape-Nuts food." Name given by Postum Co.

Another Case of Tumor from Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Dear Ms. Pinkham: Prof. Dimitri Ivanovitch Mendleel, one of the world's greatest chemists, received Sir Joseph Cowley's gold medal recently at the meeting of the Royal society. The medal is esteemed among chemists a high honor. Prof. Mendleel, who was born in Tobolok, Siberia, in 1834, possesses qualities of the most varied kind. He is chemist, geologist, philosopher and educationalist united in one personality. Lleut. Gen. Sir William Butler, who has retired from the British army, having reached the age limit of 67, was recalled from South Africa for insisting to the home government that the latter did not realize the fighting strength of the Boers. His warnings prior to the outbreak of hostilities roused the malignity of imperialists and were unheeded. His complete vindication came with time. In 1877 he married Miss Elizabeth Thompson, whose military pictures, including the celebrated "Roll Call," made her famous. The proceedings in connection with the separation of Norway cost Sweden $277,775 according to the Swedish bud- get.
