THE The Fashions in General What to Wear and How to Wear It What to Wear and How to Wear It We made a round of the shops the other day and sat to serious study of the modes that promise to be the prevailing ones; and were made reasonably sure of one thing, that there will be less exaggeration, less striving after the unique, than last year. At the milliners especially is this true. To be sure, we find the bowl shaped crowns, but the trimming of these is disposed in such a manner eccentricity gives place to a pleasing effect. Our thoughts are so full of color we feel as though moving in a kaleidoscope, a veritable rainbow, atmosphere. 1 A GRACEFUL PRINCESS. But the coloring is beautiful, not garish, and let us welcome it, let the streets bloom like veritable posy beds. A white shade, a warm shade, a tonal shade, there is such a variety to choose from; one may wear a chapeau with half a dozen colors rioting thereon, or one may keep strictly to one tone. We describe two that illustrate this point. One is a very fine black chip hat, a small affair round as to brim and with a crown on the cone-shaped order. It is trimmed with a loose band—something more than a wreath obtains this season—of lovely blue harebells; these pretty flowers fall over the back at one side far down on the face, a shower of blossoms. Gray-blue ribbon is puffed and Put your clothes on right. When you buy a corset have it fitted to your figure. There are fine corsets made to order, but these cost a pretty penny, and unless you have a very peculiar form indeed you need not strive or care for this luxury. No matter how much the bodice is draped or bloused, it is necessary to have the foundation approximately right. The bodice here displayed is one adapted to a figure wanting curves, the little velvet bolero kindly hides deficiencies. The gown is a high-necked evening dress, such comfort to have among one's stock, and suitable for afternoon wear, too. It is made of oldrose cashmere, of very fine quality, the trimming is velvet of a darker shade and some ivory-tinted lace. A sheer chemisette is tined with chiffon, which does not detract from the airiness and gives body to the deep yoke. In the hair may be worn a twist and knot of HIGH-NECKED EVENING DRESS. old-rose velvet, ornaments in the coiffure being now the proper thing. Vellis are to play their part in dress the present season, and there is needed a word about what not to get. Large dots lavishly sprinkled over the face are seldom becoming, but two or three big dots are good, just mere beauty patches. A very Frenchy vell is a brown cobwebey net worn over a pale blue tulle and two or, three black velvet dots on the outer vell, just enough to enhance the complexion, but not so many as to give a leopard appearance. And, by the way, we would mention that the touch or black is the thing on costumes generally, and that brown is in highest fashion for vellis, robes, laces for the coats, etc. A new color goes by the name of "automobile;" a In Union There is Strength. knotted on the high bandeau at the back, the ribbon the same shade as the flowers. At one side, the right, where the hat unts up perly, a couple of pale pink roses are tucked in among the harebells. It sounds as though it might be fussy, but in reality is not, just suits the fortunate woman whose property it is. The other hat, the simple one, is a blue horsehair turban, one of the long sort. The crown is put on smoothly over the frame, the brim covered with neat folds. Where brim and crown join there is a piping of soft-toned blue and red plaid, and at one side near the front a large knot of the plaid. The only other trimming is a single quill which stands off perkly at one side with a sharp upward slant. Every other woman on the street this spring will remind one of an Indian chief, so many feathers and quills are to be worn. In theory it is ridiculous, in fact quite smart. To turn from headgear to gowns, what graceful and becoming princess dresses have been evolved. Everybody must have at least one one-piece gown in her wardrobe, and more if possible. The model here shown is excellent style, and by means of the trimming used may be made to suit almost any figure. It is of softest pate-blue crepe de chine made over chite China silk. A fichu arrangement at the shoulders relieves the severity of a close-fitting waist, and the bands may be placed at any point desired, depending on whether the person is long or short waisted, stout or thin. The hand embroidery adorns the front of the skirt, the shades tady tones of pink and olive; but this elaboration may be dispensed with or braiding of narrow gallon substituted. The sleeves are mere puffs, very becoming to the woman with a pretty arm. Another lovely princess was brought to our notice, one of pavement gray velvet absolutely untrimmed. There was no break from neck to train, but the long lines now considered desirable. A square yoke of Irish crochet lace quite deep, relieved the grayness, and passing over the shoulders were suspenders of black velvet fastening with silver buckles. It was a charming combination—the gray velvet, rich creamy lace, black velvet lightened with the touch of silver, a picture in itself. It would be beautiful for a woman with white hair or for a dark-haired woman of a clear pallor. This really is a season where one may take an old-fashioned frock and make it over with little trouble and satisfactory result. Study carefully the lin's approved as fashionable, and then go to work; have a reasonably short shoulder, the sleeves mere puffs and standing out pretty well at the shoulder, the waist line at the most becoming length for your particular figure, the skirt at least touching, if the dress is for evening. And use any little scraps of good lace and ribbon you may have, for trimming to-day seems collected from the scrap basket—a bit of this, a dash of that. witty woman describes it as a shade of rusty iron with a strong dash of heliotrope in it. We are glad to chronicle there is a tendency to fasten dress skirts at one side of the back, not directly in the middle. The unfasted placket has been as much of a worry as the hiatus between skirt and waist, and needed solution by an expert. With the fasteners a little to the side there is not so much strain and less liability to open at an inopportune moment. Keeping the cat straight is also another of the numerous frets that disturb a woman's serenity, and the manufacturers have been at work on this problem. A white ago they gave us enormous gift safety-pins, but we did not think very much of them. Recently we saw a better contrivance and one that can be recommended over the hat pin, which is hard on the hair and, in very windy weather, not to be depended on. The one we refer to is a strong smooth hairpin of silver, wider and longer than the ordinary hairpin; it fits in a silver catch sewed on either side the hat, and is simply pushed through this and into the hair. With the present millinery styles the hair must be fluffed out considerably, smooth, neat tresses do not obtain as a few years ago. Loose waves are much better than stiff, crinkling, and one should avoid trying to look like a model in a hair dresser's window. The fashion for the loose arrangement of the hair may not last long; many are exaggerating it to such an extent, piling puffs up mountain high; with relief we may flee to the flat mode again. Cattle Charmers Curious tales are told of the Masai, one of the most warlike of the native African tribes. They have been attacking the natives in the German protectorate with great daring, driving off great herds of cattle with singular ease. Half the attacking force will sweep down on a peaceful village, engaging in a bloody fight with the inhabitants, while the other half will drive away the herds. The Masai have a wonderful knack in the management of cattle. A German writer says that a single Masai is often able to coax behind him a whole herd of cattle by lightly whistling and tapping with his spear against his huge shield.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1906. THE MAYOR Of Toledo, Brand Whitlock, Magazine Writer, and CLOSE FRIEND OF PAUL DUNBAR. The Dead Poet, Sent This Tribute, and It Was Read at the Funeral Service. Dayton, O.-Dr. Tobey (white) a close friend of Paul Lawrence Dunbar read the following letter at the funeral service: Toledo, O., Feb. 11, 1906. Dear Doctor Tobey: —are denied him, he has the joy of artistic creation, which is the highest man may know. It is enough for the poet that he be a poet, yet this is not his glory. His glory is that through his experience he expresses for the race all joy and grief, all the moods and emotions, exalted or depressed, of the human soul, and myriads of voiceless people, living about him and living after him, find the solace and relief that come of expression, which, were it not for him they would be compelled to go with them, and that would not be able to have spoken of our friend as a poet of his own people, and he was this: he expressed his own race—its humor, its kindness, its fancy, its love of grace and melody; he expressed, too, its great sufferings, and what race has suffered more, or more unjustly, or what race has borne its sufferings with sublimer patience? It is a race that has produced many great and worthy men, in the very face of untold opposition and prejudice, but the work of these men has been more or less confined to their race. But without the least disparagement, I think I can say that Paul's range and appeal were wider than those of any other writer of poetry if they had not been a poet. For the true poet is universal as is the love he incarnates in himself, and Paul's best poetry has this quality of unilversity. I am very glad that he was so thoroughly American and democratic. He might have been a poet without having been an American, but he could not have been a poet without having been democratic, and I believe I may safely add that he could not have been a poet without having had at least the spirit of America. For all the poets have had this spirit; they have loved liberty, equality and fraternity. You know Browning says: "Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for us, Burns, Shelley were with us—they watch from their graves." There was nothing foreign in Paul's poetry, nothing imported, nothing imitated; it was all original, native and indigenous. Thus he becomes the poet, not of his own, race alone—I wish I could make people see this—but the poet of you and of me and of all men everywhere. You and I knew something of his GAZETTE. deeper sufferings, something of the disease that really killed him. I can never forget the things he said about this that last evening we spent together. I know nothing anywhere so pathetic as this brave, gentle loving spirit, with its poetic heart, moving among men who, though far his inferior in intellectual and spiritual endeavor, "dashed him out. I must not recall such things now. The deep melancholy this caused him has been expressed over and over in his poems. "The Warrior's Prayer," "We Wear the Mask," and others are veritably steeped in it. Let that suffice. That last evening he recited—oh, what a voice he had—his "Ships That Pass in the Night." You will remember, I sat and listened, sadly conscious that I would not hear him often again, knowing that voice would soon be mute—I can hear him now and see the expression on his fine face, as he prohic "Passing! Passing!" it was prophetic. We shall hear that deep melodious voice no more; his humor, his drolery, his exquisite mimicry—the are gone. And tomorrow you will lay his tired body away, fittingly enough, on Lincoln's birthday. But his songs will live and give his beautiful personality an immortality in this world, and we—we can remember that he is with Theocritus tonight. BRAND WHITTOCK BRAND WHITLOCK Rev. Wm.

The Irish are beginning to protest against their caricature on the stage, and it is about time we were getting busy along a similar line, in- stead of flocking to the theatres when such “shows” or individual performers appear. NOSE AND EYES. ‘There is sald to be a right and a wrong way for every thing we do; hence the sooner we get down to right doing the better for all concerned. Humanity is heir to ills innumerable which with care and precaution may be eliminated. We need not endure ills and infirmities when we learn to avoid the effects inducing them. An eminent medical professor in Eng- land has recently given strong rea- sons why nose-blowing should be made a matter of special care. First fone nostril and then the other should be blown, one after the other but not both at the came time, The two nasal passages are not to be closed at the same time. If obstructed as in the case of cold, the back of the throat at once becomes filled with compressed alr and this together with the dls- charge and the microbes which it con- tains is more than likely to be driven throngh the eustachian tube into the middle ear and lead to serious results. Im many cases ear trouble, and even Intenge headache, are brought on from the straining of the eustachian tube, for it is from this tube mainly that disease of the ear is contracted. It is also a sefentific and hygienic truth that the eves should receive equal care, From the very structure of the eye, 80 necessary for comfort, Mother ‘Nature has afforded it means and pro- tection which must not be abused. ‘The health and care of the eyes de. pend altogether upon the way we treat them. The eye sutfers very ma. terially from mistreatment as from imprudent use and abuse. The sensi. tive retina {s the sereen, and the optic perve carries the impression of this picture to the visual center to the back part of the brain. Any severe pressure upon the pupil af the eye ts hurtful. To relieve the eye from pain it is never right to rub across the cornea, but to draw the finger direct. ¥ from it. The experiment will af. ford a gradual relief not otherwise felt. In that way the retina is re. Weved from irritation and possible harm. The eye and nose are largely in sympathy with each other, for they alike lead to the nerve of the brain +y means of which we see and smell. Treat these well and with greater sare and we preserve unto ourselves more surely our five senses whose service jointly add to our physical and mental happiness. In blowing our nose let us blow one nostril and then the other, and in relieving the eye of pain or frritation, hands off the globe and drew them away from elther side. FIND A HOME ON THE FARM, It should be largely the choice of all Afro-Americans today who desire per- manence in business and to enjoy an independent life, that they seek to find homes on the farm. There is no life 80 free from incumbrance and none that affords so much freedom as that of the farmer. There are thousands of Afro-Americans in the city who are tolling day in and day out as hirelings depending upon some boss to furnish them employment. There are thous- ands who serve as porters in business houses, in banks and stores whose continuance in these places depend solely upon their ability to please. Many again depend upon doing chores and catch-work here and there for a Hvelihood, living from hand to mouth, scarcely realizing means enough to furnish bread for the family. Exposed to countless allurements and expenses unlooked for, they find life hardly worth the living. Others find em- ployment only six or nine months in the year, with little hope of covering their indebtedness until perhaps the courts are called to have a hand in matters which lead on to serious com- pilcations. The city police, too, are ever on the alert to arrest vagrants or to bring to account persons of seemingly questionable character, which leave many a man in the light of @ mere pauper or a dependent. Few ‘men prefer to s0 live. But In this broad and open country where living is quite possible, where thrift and plenty may be assured and where freedom and independence may be en- joyed in the home, we ask is it not better by far that the above class of {tHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0O., SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1906.

The initial rehearsal of the Choral union at St. John's church was an encouraging success. The chorus, under the efficient direction of Jay W. Noble, rendered "Praise Ye, the Father," from Gounod's "Galla," very well rendered. All singers are urged to attend the rehearsal Sunday at 4 p. m. Carroll Scott, president. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the principal and trustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute to attend the celebration of the twenty-anniversary of the foundation of the institute held in Tuskegee Ala. April 4, 5 and 6. Additional notice of the celebration will be found elsewhere in this paper in a letter from Tuskegee. Time and again have we warned our people about buying "stock" offered for sale here by promoters of various alleged inventions, business, etc. In the light of almost unvarying experience during the past two or three years, they ought to be able to now acknowledge the wisdom and correctness of the same and give us the credit long overdue. Meantime continue to keep your eyes open. The meeting of the Business Men's league held at H. T. Eubanks' Wednesday evening was most encouragement to the guests at the gala, Walter B. Wright Edward C. Williams, Samuel F. Scott, Rev H. C. Bailey, Rev R. W. Bagnall and P. W. Lemon. Lunch was served. The next meeting will be held at Woodliff hall, April 17. The members of the organization will be L. G. Adkins' guests, the next social meeting. Rev. R. L. Dickerson, the popular and successful pastor of Cory M. E. church, is winding up his third year with his usual marked success. All claims will be met. He will preach Sunday morning and evening. It will be his last Sunday before annual conference at Columbus on the 28th. A farewell reception will be tendered him by the seven classes of the church Monday evening, when Hon. H. C. Smith and our pastors of the city will be present and deliver addresses. The familiar sound of "gum, gum, everybody chews gum," will be missed his summer, as William Early, "early man," aged 25 years from the 15th. He was buried from his home, No. 69 Norman street, Saturday. He leaves a wife, a son, John, a letter carrier; a daughter, Mary, a school teacher in the south; other children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Rev. B. J. Prince officiated at the funeral. Interment in Woodland cemetery. Gee & Wills, undertakers. A SOCIAL REVOLUTION. Threatened as the Result of the EF fort to be "it" of Several Clubs—Personal and Other Local Items of Interest. Steubenville, O—Our society is on the verge of a social revolution. The basis of the trouble seems to be several social and literary clubs striving to be the "social arbiter" of our people here. The new "industries" have brought many new Afro-American residents, with new tastes and ideas, and the old time social leaders are about to be consigned to seas of oblivion. First of all we have the Reading club, containing the older people and a few new-comers, who seem to assimilate to a certain extent. Then the club with the high-sounding title, "Fleur De Lisi," containing younger members not only a member of the community but from its alloy of honors from its older competitor, and dictate the social standard. The "Elite" is also getting its second wind and may make a hot finish. The most exclusive, the Whist club, is small but "Oh! my! It" is claimed that membership in this organization, at least so far as the male members are concerned, is based on the knowledge of and actual experience in "our national pastime." It has almost an entire "allen" membership. Last but by no means least, comes the "Silver Leaf" which controls or seeks to control the destinies of several other organizations, church and state. There are rumors of an Aug. 1 celebration here which promises to eclipse anything ever held in the valley. Some one should issue a call for a meeting and see if the work can't be started. Select a good man as chairman of the church and state. There are contributions can be secured to make it a success. It has been three years since any out door affair has been given by our people here.—The T. T. C. club held a pleasant session with Miss Bessie Lyons' Friday evening. Refreshments. The next meeting will be held at Miss Birdie Grisby's.—Andrew Guy and Isaac Howard was in Smithfield Sunday.—The Ladies' Reading club's annual sermon will be preached Sunday by Rev. Foreman at Simpson chapel, and the K. of P. annual sermon in the afternoon by Rev. White at Quinn chapel—Miss Nannie Harris, of Smithfield, was the guest of theanks Sunday. Miss Miolet Joel Thompson has returned from Mt. Pleasant—Miss Maggie Guy and Mr. Otto Franklin were in Wheeling Sunday. The April Delineator The April Dellineator has two stories by well known writers: "The Flight of Jim Charles," by Albert Bigelow Paine, and "The Stolen Speech," by Joseph A. Altsheler. Also many matters of style. A new series that is sure to please many is "American American Songs." An American lady's housekeeping experiences in Morocco—the Land of the Brigands—will prove interesting reading. "Portia," the noble heroine of Shaksphere's "Merchant of Venice," is the subject of a clever sketch by the author. To the many good things usually pro-To the many children, two exceptionally bright stories have been added; and for the busy woman in the home everything pertaining to the inner working of the household is touched on in the various departments.

WARMLY COMMENDED By Ohio District Conference is that "Religious Warrior," Rev. Dr John Dickerson, P. E.—Royally Treated. Rendville, O.—The Columbus district conference of the A. M. E. church was held here. Rev. John Dickerson, P. E. of the district, with dignity, ability and precision. Several of the brethren were absent owing tp the change of meeting place from Mt. Vernon Street church, Columbus. The session was very interesting, the papers and discussions inspiring and uplifting. Mr. Henry Redman, of Circleville, was elected lay delegate to the annual conference at Barnesville Sept. 12, and J. Edmon Viney, of Lancaster, alternate. The pastor and audience were present. The conference royalty. They could not have done better, neither could Mt. Vernon church and people have entertained it any better. The following resolution was offered in the conference, and unanimously adopted: To the Presiding Elder and District Conference: Whereas, We recognize the fact that we have with us as presiding elder of the Columbus district, in the person of the Rev. John Dickerson, a man of God, possessed of true Christian piety and executive ability; a man who believes Christian character and intellectual ability to be two of the fundamental principles of a sound and progressive Christian ministry; and Whereas, We see that he does not look upon one minister as being the superior of another simply because he hampers to be serving a larger charge than he can perform, with titles moving in an easy circle and commanding a handsome salary; and Whereas, we see that he is trying to purify the church through the ministry, therefore be it Resolved. That we, the ministers of the Columbus district, do hereby pledge ourselves to stand by him in every measure he institutes for the purification of the ministry and the church, the betterment of society and the general uplift of humanity by preaching a simple pure gospel, and ordering lives by the same. Respectfully submitted. W. P. MEYERS, C. E. WILLIAMS, J. EDMON VINEY. Rieter Curses Court Springfield. O.—Because no convicting evidence could be secured against David Johnson, the Wittenberg student, and John Lightly, arrested on the charge of rioting, Sergeant W. E. Johnson Friday asked that the affidavits be withdrawn and Police Judge J. J. Miller dismissed the two prisoners. When Lem Copenhafer was asked by Judge Miller why sentence should not be pronounced on him for carrying concealed weapons during riots, he cursed the court and called the judge vile names. An additional charge of contempt was placed against him. Susan B. Anthony. Rochester, N. Y.-Miss Susan B. Anthony, the leader of the cause of woman suffrage and an ardent anti-slavery advocate in the '50s, died at age 85. Her death was due to a complication of pneumonia and heart disease. JUST BY THE WAY. News Items Boiled Down and Condensed. At Memphis, Tenn., Leon Croft, a night watchman, shot and killed his divorced wife, Mrs. Lena Croft, and then committed suicide. Great battleships like the 18,000-ton English battleship Dreadnaught are the crying need of the American navy, according to Admiral Dewey. The three-masted schooner C. C. Lane ran ashore on Boston Light ledges, below Boston harbor. The crew were rescued. The schooner is a total loss. Mrs. Florence Siegel was killed and her husband, Samuel Siegel, had a leg broken as the result of jumping from a third-story window of their home at Trenton, N. J., while the house was on fire. Stratton D. Brooks, superintendent of schools at Cleveland, who recently was offered the position of superintendent of the Boston public schools, has notified the Boston school committee that he accepts its offer. He has forwarded his resignation to the Cleveland school committee.

A special military commission is now sitting in Berlin considering the best means of making cavalry as invisible as possible in warfare. Although more than 20 policemen tried to capture a thief in the West End of London, he did some daring climbing over roofs, and eventually escaped. Fearing that he would be punished for spending sevenpence on sweets instead of buying fruit for his mother, a schoolboy at Adorf, Saxony, threw himself in front of a train and was killed. Court suits, such as the one that John Burns, M. P., has reluctantly donned, cost at least $150. The sword, with cut steel hilt, costs $19; the "dress breeches, lined silk, cut steel buttons, $23.50. An order was made by Justice Warrington, in London, the other day, for the distribution of an estate that had been in the court of chancery for 100 years. In that time its value had increased threefold. It has been discovered that a mass of ancient coffins, hundreds in number, lie under the Church of St. James, Clerkenwell, London, the topmost being within only a few inches of the floor of the crypt. The Peninsular & Oriental steamship Himalaya landed at Plymouth, England, recently, 300 boxes of gold of the value of $9,618,285, mostly from India. It is said to be the largest amount of gold ever carried by a ship. Last June Lord Roberts made an appeal to the British public for subscriptions for the establishment of rifa clubs. He asked for $500,000. Thus far only $10,000 has been subscribed and the old general is much disappointed. The keeper of the only public house in Gelterkinden, a little village near Bale, Switzerland, having raised the price of beer a halfpenny a glass, all the workmen of the village have agreed to give up drink until the old price is restored.

While Mr. W. S. Geisel, of No. 123 East Coutet street, Moberly, Mo., was steadily working at his trade in a foundation at that place, he became the victim of an attack of rheumatism, and his experience is that of thousands who are compelled to work in similar surroundings. He describes his situation as follows: "I had been at work for a long time in a foundry where I was exposed to dampness. First my feet began to hurt and to swell, then my knees and my shoulder joints began to be affected in the same way. Finally I could not walk without great difficulty and suffering and had to stop work altogether. My appetite was feeble and I grew very pale and weak. I began to have pains about my heart and it fluttered a great deal. I became greatly alarmed about my condition. My mother knew about the virgin Dew William he health which had given her back her health was nearly wasting to death, and when she found that they were good for rheumatism too, she began to give them to me about a month after I was attacked. That was in the early part of March, 1903, and by June they had driven away the pains and swelling and had restored my appetite and color. Then I felt that I could take up a line of outdoor work and had garded myself as entirely well and I am about to go into a foundry again at St. Louis."

Indianapolis, Ind.—The second joint conference of the coal operators and miners of the central competitive district, comprising the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, which is the result of efforts of President Roosevelt to effect permanent peace in the coal industry throughout the United States, adjourned Tuesday afternoon after referring the demands of the miners to the federal scale committee. The conference was called to order by President Mitchell. The conference organized by the election of the following officers: George W. Tracer, an operator, of Chicago, permanent chairman; secretary, W. B. Wilson, of the United Mine Workers; assistant secretaries, Frank S. Brooks, Columbus, and C. L. Seroggs, Chicago. On motion of President Mitchell the rules of the previous joint conference, requiring that the vote of the miners and operators on "all main and principal questions" be cast as a unit, were adopted. President Mitchell delivered a brief address in which he outlined his views as to the purpose of the joint conference, at the close of which he moved the adoption of the scale of wages demanded by the miners in the joint conference which adjourned February 2. The scale provides for an increase of $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. The motion was lost on a strictly partisan vote, the operators voting unanimously in the negative, while the miners voted as a unit in favor of its adoption. New York—George F. Bacr, chairman of the committee, of governor of the nineteenth institution, has addressed a letter to John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, accepting Mr. Mitchell's proposition to have another conference. ANOTHER MUTINY. Russian Sailors Are Reported to Have Inaugurated a New Rebellion at Sebastopol. St. Petersburg, Russia—Most sensational reports are current that the execution of Lieut. Schmidt, which has made a deep impression throughout Russia, has been followed by an extensive mutiny of sailors at Sebastian's shipyard, and firing by the fortress upon the city. The truth of the story is doubted, this being the "psychological moment" for the appearance of such wild reports. No press dispatches confirming the story have been received, but if the report should prove true the abolition of the punishment for by the imposition of a censorship. The alleged news came in the form of two cipher telegrams to a prominent member of the social revolutionary party, such as the revolutionaries have sometimes been able to transmit through accomplices in the telegraph offices when the public, and even the government, has been unable to communicate. As translated and displayed here, the telegrams call for news here, the telegrams say briefly that the sailors, infuriated by the refusal of Emperor Nicholas to pardon Lieut. Schmidt and their fellow sailors, rose in their barracks and seized and imprisoned the majority of their officers. The dispatches add that the city of Sebastopol is almost entirely in flames. It is also stated that a student at the Technological institute has received a similar telegram. The admiralty affects ignorance as to the occurrence of any such affair. The officers, in press, mention of the new press law which provides that they may be closed up for spreading false reports affecting the army or navy, are afraid to take chances by publishing the story. A SEIZURE OF JEWELRY. Canadian Customs Officials Confiscate a Lot of Gems Alleged to Have Been Smuggled by a Woman. Detroit, Mich.—An amount of jewelry which has not been appraised, but the value of which has been estimated at from $2,000 up to $40,000, was seized Monday by the Canadian Customs authority on the ground that it had been smuggled from the United States. Part of the jewelry was taken from a young woman known here as Mrs. Gus Kleiser, of Toronto, when she crossed the Detroit river from Detroit to Windsor. The remainder was seized at her home in Toronto almost simultaneously, word having been sent there by wire as soon as she was placed under surveillance here. The woman is said to be the wife of a Truck driver and to have been for ten years a commercial tracer, selling jewelry all through Canada as far as the Pacific coast and carrying values as high as $10,000 to $12,000. It is said that she was just about to start on a four months' trip when the seizures were made. A Day in Congress.

Examinee Who Could Hear the Tick of a Watch When Not Running. "The physical examination of new policemen often furnishes a lot of amusement," remarked Chief of Police Hays. "The police department mood, relates the Kansas City City Independent. "Catch questions don't go, of course, but every now and then they are asked to come in and then turned a fellow—he's now a sergeant—who fell into a trap the prettiest you ever saw. The doctor had examined him up and down and then turned around and heard he would make a test of his hearing. Taking a watch out of his pocket, with a wink at me, he asked: "Do you hear that way of a path?" I answered a young man answered. "Yes, perfectly," the young man answered. "He held a foot from the applicant's ear." "Still hear it?" he asked. "Yes, sir." "Now stand back three spaces." "If you were man did you?" "Now, said the examiner, 'do you hear it from that distance'." "The applicant listened intently. Then he smiled and nodded. "I still hear it, sir," he said. "You certainly have the most remarkable face and across," the examiner. "That watch has not been running for three weeks."

"Six months ago I would have laughed at the idea that there could be anything better for a table beverage than coffee," writes an Onio woman—"now I laugh to know there is." "Since childhood I drank coffee as freely as any other member of the family. The result was a puny, sickly girl, and as I grew into womanhood I did not gain in health, but was afflicted with heart trouble, a weak and disordered stomach, wrecked nerves and a general breaking down, till last winter at the age of 38 I seemed to be on the verge of consumption. My friends greeted me with 'How bad you look! What a terrible color!' and this was not very comforting. "The doctors and patent medicines did me absolutely no good. I was thoroughly discouraged. "Then I gave up coffee and commenced Postum Food Coffee. At first I didn't like it, but after a few trials and following the directions exactly, it was grand. It was refreshing and satisfying. In a couple of weeks I noticed a great change. I became stronger, my brain grew clearer, I was not troubled with forgetfulness as in coffee times, my power of endurance was more than doubled. The heartble and indigestion disappeared and my nerves became steady and strong. "I began to take an interest in things about me. Housework and home-making became a pleasure. My friends have marveled at the change and when they inquire what brought it about, I answer "Postum Food Coffee, and nothing else in the world."" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pigs. A TRAINED NURSE Mrs Martha Pohlman pains down through my limbs so I could hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female pain as it was for a man. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however, cured me within four months. Since that time I have had occasion to recommend it to four women, and I have forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprofessional to recommend a patient dictionnaire, I can honestly recommend Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for I have found that it cures female illness, where all other medicine fails. It is a grand medicine for sick women." Money cannot buy such testimony as this—merit alone can produce such recovery, and I agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most universally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, scars, displacement or ulceration or other complications, they can down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or fatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms.
