THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 39. The Fashions of the Day Suitable for Mourning Wear There are yokes on everything, short yokes and yokes long enough to meet the corselet skirt; but, one way or another, blouse and even outside wrap must be cut up by gimp or the simulation thereof. The fancy waist here pictured seems to us most attractive, graceful and latest mode. All-over lace is used for the upper part, the lower portion is of soft messaline, a shade darker than the light-weight cloth skirt with which worn. The sleeves come well above the elbow and a band of trimming encircles the arm, giving a full puff at the shoulder. The collar is quite high, a point to note with this new style of blouse. In the street gown suggested, the princess coat is so cut up by trimming as to give the appearance of a bolero. The sleeves are very short, disclosing a puff of lingerie between coat cuff and long glove. Speaking of short sleeves for the street, have you seen the economical silk wristlet an entrepreneurial dealer has put forth? It is merely a long glove without covering for the hands, wrinkles its way from elbow to wrist, where it is met by the real glove. One pair will outwear many pairs of gloves and one need not feel so extravagant about having all one's sleeves abbreviated. Flat braid trimming is very much the thing for the tailored gown, for black, white or colored gown. So far we have seen no white serges on the street, but many very fetching ones have been made up for summer days. White will continue to be immensely popular, and a white wool or mohair frock is a fine thing to have in one's summer wardrobe; there are so many cool pleasant days when one wants to look summery and yet not blue-nosed, and such a frock as this answers the blue-nosed. Fine tucks look neat and trim and we find them employed a great deal on late frocks, much used for fitting in at the waist line bodice and princess. It takes an artist to do this In England the wearing of mourning is much more the rule than on this side; we would say unrelieved mourning is rather the exception here. Of late at the southern resorts where people are wont to flock during the days of early spring, during the impossible days of the northern spring, there were noticeable all-white mourning costumes. These costumes were very plain, severely tailored morning dresses and simply trimmed crepe de chine in the evening. The latter were relieved only by tucks or folds of self-material. This fashion of donning on sully dresses is a very sensible A MOURNING GOWN. one, black stuffs not only look hot and uncomfortable, but are so to a markedly unhealthful degree. The gown here illustrated is of black veiling with trimmings of crape. The model is one of the modified princess robes and exceptionally good. The chemisette is of net crepe folds on the corsage give a curve where otherwise there might be severity of appearance, and the robe is bordered by a band of crape; the rosettes on the bodice are made of this material, and down either side of the front panel are closely clustered crape covered buttons. This last detail may be omitted if considered too fussy. Sometimes puffs of chiffon are used sparingly in trimming a mourning dress, and dull black beads are worn as necklaces. Materials favored for mourning are volle, velling, pongee and a silk that is something between china In Union There Is Strength. well, but the result is most attractive when the skilled one has finished her work. How it is done we do not pretend to know, there are such cunningly hidden gores which come to a mere nothing at the waist and flare out most boudant below. The designers of the 1906 spring gowns have certainly shown much cleverness. The loveliest flesh tones are seen in millinery and gown materials, many variations played on creamy pinks and pinky creams. The so-called "banana" is something much more charming than one would think from the sound, and all the tans are in highest favor, bid fair to rout the much exploited grays of earlier prophecy. Biscuit color we have had with us several years, but the biscuit-colored cloth is as good this year as when first brought forward. Fashion may be capricious often, but she is not wholly flicker, when she finds a good thing holds on to it longer than given credit for. A hat shining splendid from a show window the other day was a lustrous horsehair whose color was neither yellow nor pink, but a mingling of both. The long plume was decidedly straw colored, the whole a very beautiful combination. This would be effective either as a suit hat or to wear with a white lace gown. With black it might prove too much of a contrast. It is surprising how much velvet is to be used this spring and summer. Short coats and bo尔os are to be made of it, and it is employed extensively for trimming. The idea appeals to us, velvet is so generally becoming and such a beautiful fabric in itself. Of light weight, lined with thinnest silk, it need not be so very warm; the little velvet coat may well have place in the summer outfit. The silk glove is fair rival to the kid as accompaniment to the elbow sleeve, and the shops are displaying long silk gloves in about every conceivable shade. They are most attractive and mold themselves to the arm so prettily. silk and pongee. White crepe de chine we have spoken of for the best gown, and of the trim white wash suits. Black pongee makes cool and neat little utility dresses for summer. Ribbons are either tafta or grosgrain, the plainest of belting is employed. Nowadays a waterproof crape is to be had and one that does not get limp and bedraggled after a little use. Concerning hats, mourning millinery is not so harsh as formerly, much soft tulle and maline are brought into play, and coarse nets used with good effect. Trim toques are made of draped crape, whose only trimming is rosettes of the material. If a hat that will afford some protection is desired, the popular French sail shape is selected and very simply trimmed with quill and rosette. Most comfortably cool hats are of maline, the trimming perhaps the same as the foundation of the hat, and always kept down to simplicity. Some short sleeves are seen on mourning dresses, but usually the three-quarter length is preferred. WOMAN WHO FINDS FLATS. Remunerative Occupation of an Enterprising Resident of New York. One of the busiest women in the city to-day is a professional flat finder, says the New York Sun. While she is an all the year around flat hunter, just now her entire attention devoted to hunting up quarters for women living in the suburbs or even so far away as Chicago who want to enjoy the delights of winter in New York. "You know yourself," said the flat hunter in explaining the need of her existence, "how the glowing descriptions of agents often turn out. "Bright, sunny rooms turn out to be dark, gloomy cells, and stylish furniture a rickety mess that you wouldn't use in your kitchen. With my knowledge of localities and agents I am able to secure some charming quarters for comparatively small commissions." A Daily Experience.

Former Lieutenant Governor and Congressman Seeks the Republican Nomination for Secretary of State. of the most brilliant receptions that any community in the state of Ohio has ever given its most popular and influential resident. The general will make an ideal candidate for secretary of state on the republican ticket this fall and it will be a pleasure for all classes of republicans to rally to 's support as never before because he is an old soldier, an aggressive republican of the "old school," a jurist, a statesman, far above all of the petty prejudices that dominate so many so called leaders of today. He would be a tower of strength as head of the ticket. Mr. Boyle afterward became private secretary to Governor and President Wm. McKinley, who appointed him consul at Birmingham, England, a position he resigned a few months ago. BEN. GOT I This Time, Good a Plenty, FROM BRAVE SEN. HOPKIN EX-CUBAN GIANTS.

The Latter "Cleans Up" and "Wipes the Floor" with the Blatherskite, Tillman. Washington, D. C.—Last week Thursday Senator Hopkins of Illinois, delivered the most bitter denunciation of a colleague that has been heard on the floor of the senate since the time of Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. He followed it up with a rough-and-tumble debate with one-eyed Ben Tillman in which it was the general agreement that he "cleaned up" the South Carolinian as he has never been "cleaned up" since he entered public life. When the incident closed, Hopkins was standing at his desk with flushed face and defiant and with a * "Once I dined with an English farmer. We had ham for dinner* * —a very delicious ham, baked. The farmer's son soon finished his portion, and passed his plate again. * "More 'am, father,' he said. * "The farmer frowned. 'Don't say, am, my son, he said; say 'am.' * "I did say 'am,' the lad protested, in an injured tone. * "You said 'am,' cried the father, fiercely. "Am's what it should be, 'Am, not 'am.' * "In the midst of the squabble the farmer's wife turned to me with a little deprecatory laugh, and said: * "They both think they're saying 'am'—(hain.)* * ***************************************************************** trilumphant attitude, while Tillman had sunk in his seat, speechless and completely beaten. The incident developed out of the attack which Tillman made on the enforcement of law in Illinois, and more particularly in Chicago, in the Walsh bank case. Hopkins defended the courts and administration of justice in his state, and followed it up with a denunciation of Tillman for publicly upholding the murder of Affermann in his state whose only crime was to afford torture to voicing constitutional prerogative of voting. Quite apart from the merits of the subject matter under discussion, there is intense feeling of satisfaction over the manner of Hopkins' attack on Tillman, and the evident result of finally and fully beating Tillman into a corner, where he was ready to admit, by manner and tone, that he was whipped. For days Tillman has launched forth into sensational discourses and attacks on different individuals and states. The senate tired of it long ago, but it must be admitted that Tillman has in effect, bulldozed the senate by his sharp tongue and brutal methods of speech talking back. The situation needed just such a personality, and just such a man as Senator Hopkins to meet it. He fought Tillman with his own weapons—bitter denunciation, open and expressed contempt in tone and manner and explicit and repeated charges of unfairness and demagogy, which Tillman could not avoid. More power to Hopkins! THE GREATEST ACT On the Stage Today—Mr. Eph Thompson and His Elephants—Personal Mention, Etc. Toledo, O.—Mr. Eph Thompson and his elephants are at the Arcade theater coming from Cleveland and New York. The latter are the best on the stage in any country. He has been in Europe, traveling all over the old world for over 20 years, and only returned to this country seven months ago under contract to remain one year. He will return to Europe with pleasure when the time has elapsed as he has had quite enough of American prejudice from both his own and the white people.

Being asked “was that her place of residence where she was then,” she replied “no.” Being asked whether she had any manners, she replied “yes.” “Well, then,” demand- ‘ed the Inspector, “why do you not use your manners?” The woman again Tesponded “I do.” “Well, then,” re- Joined the inspector, “can't you say yes, sir, and no, sir?” “Oh,” replied the woman, “I don't need to do so.” At once the inspector exclaimed, “I'l have none of your impudence! I'll have you arrested.” “For what?” asked the woman. “I'l not stand your Insolence and abuse,” exclaimed the officer. Whereupon he blew his whistle. The clty police at once ap- peared. The woman was arrested and Jed to the station house, with “the charge of assault laid against her. She was held for trial the ,next day. Happily, fortune favored the poor Woman. She told a plain and simple story to the magistrate which elicited the sympathy and attention of the court. Witnesses were heard, and two white women being in an adjoin. ing house at the time of her encounter with the inspector, testified and cor- roborated the statement of the cook, that she gave no impudence, nor did she in any instance yesent the treat- ment of the inspector, She merely sald yes and no, and'on account of which she was arrested and impris- oned ‘with the charge of assault against her. Such is life. in south. Jand, and the unfortunates were too Mliterate to afford a consideration re- clprocal in thelr relations to each other. One was arbitrary and cruel, while both ‘were illiterate, but the woman was discharged, even without ‘& teprimand. GEN. KEIFER WILL NOT EVADE purty. ‘The southern papers may exercise themselves in doing all they can to arouse public feeling against Repre- sentative Kelfer’s reduction bill. The Dill, however, fs only a matter of busi. ness and duty, designed to correct any irregularity causing ‘riction between the states under the tundamental law. To allow such an frregularity to con tinue would be an encroachment’ upon the rightssand liberties of the people. The country beholds the infquity and a leader rises to wipe It out. Where fs the consistency on the. part of those who profess themselves loyal to the principles of good government and why should the wrong remain as a blot upon our national escutcheon? It 4s plain to common sense and reason that the Afro-American 1s a citizen before the law, and it fs a fact that in a number of the southern states he hag been disfranchised. By such dis- franchisement there remains an over ‘Amount of #epresergation in congress not due. A reduction of representa- tion becomes then an absolute neces- aity, and unless this 1s done congress and the government are remiss in the @ischarge of, their duty and are par- ticeps criminis to an {mmense public wrong to the people. Honorable and brave men cannot afford to share in this wrong. The national congress cannot fold its arms upon it, but so Jong as nothing is done to regulate the present interior workings of our governmental system the responsibil. ity and the blame must rest with the Jawmaking men in authority. Dele- gated by the people to legislate fairly ‘and In keeping with the powers of the constitution, any hesitancy on the part of congress betrays an unpardon- able timidity or a criminality which should not be condoned. By a provi- sion of our national constitution which Gen. Keifer 1s sworn to support, he signals the will of a powerful con- stituency, the spirit of which is but the expression of the loyal and fair dealing element of the well meaning classes of the masses. It is the law of righteous dealing for which we con- tend. THE WORK OF THE MOB. ‘The terrible work of the mob in burning the bodies of three Afro- Americans in Springfield, Mo., reveals more clearly the brutal tendency to which buman nature is surely drifting. dt ip bad enough to realize this awful fact, and it becomes the more alarm- Ang to believe that in the United Btates, as in no other country on the lobe, such a wtate of feeling exists. The cause for this abvormal and vicl- ‘pus state of affairs emanates from the Aehumanizing influence of American ‘Slavery, whose every touch for nearly three centuries has served to warp jand yitiate ‘man's moral nature. Es- pecially is ft true of those who were the activo conservators of the evil, the worst that ever yet cursed a na. tion. The mob of Springfield was most beastly and inhuman, in so far that it vented the worst passions In its insane desire to take human life. Regardless of the sacred injunctions of law, the people's only safeguard, the spirit of deflance and lawlessness held sway against every appeal to reason and justice, The homes of the de- fenseless poor were destroyed, the jail.and the dwelling apartment of the sheriff were damaged more than $3,000. But that which was most hor- ritying and excruciating was the brutal treatment accorded the prison- ers. Unwilling to allow the law to have its course, bad men contented themselves to become miscreants and ‘demons as a heritage to their children jand their posterity. Little heed seems yet to be given to these daring out- Tages against civil authority, and little dread seems to be felt for the safety Jand future of the country. Unawaken though the country seems to be, yet there Is danger ahead, and sooner or later a shock will be felt more sensibly than now. The nation will realize what it has not yet discovered. The warning is already giyen in the open defiance of law and in the plundering of the most sacred claims of the peo- ple’s government. It is shocking to witness the blind and calous indiffer- ence so long and too long sustained ‘on the part of those delegated to main- tain the authority of government and law. It is astounding to seo with what complacency the strong and loyal friends of good government content themselves in the face of the spirit of a growing anarchy, which every day brings us nearer the thresh. old of revolt and dissolution. Every outbreak of the mob is a training school from which men qualify them- selves to become rebels and traitors. Men, women and children are training themselves to propagate ideas of dis. affection and treason against their own government. Already the spirit of universal lawlessness has reached the masses. Who stands responsible and who shall be asked to answer? We answer, it is the heads and ruling power of the states and of the nation. It is the men who are entrusted with the authority of law and the power ‘of government. Congressman Keifer and Senator Foraker. ‘Washington, D. C.—Gen. J. Warren Keifer is trying to force a considera- tion of the reduction of southern congress representation by circulating a petition for a caucus of republican house members. Good! A committee of the Suffrage league, of which ex-Congressman White Is chairman, has undertaken the task of having the Hepburn bill so amended in the senate as to authorize the Inter-state Commerce Commission to regulate and prevent discriminations of persons as well as things.

Browne, Some years ago the grand fountain voted to Rey. Browne. for two copyrights $50,000, which he, dying, willed to his widow. Of this amount she has received $29,500 but for the last three years has been paid nothing. She now threatens a law- sult to secure the remainder. The officers of the order are in a quand. ary for their order was shut out of the District of Columbia by the insurance commissioners largely on the ground that the $29,500 paid Mrs. Browne- Smith was an improper diversion of money held in trust and should be re- placed by the officers. The only way to raise the balance due her seems to be to levy a special tax on all mem- bers of the grand fountain; but there is a question whether such a tax could be enforced. eee re ..

KILLED A WOMAN. Food is in Plentiful Supply—The Mayor Requests That Only Un- perishable Food he Sent. Sua Francisco, April 26—At 3:16 o'clock Wednesday afternoon a shock of earthquake was felt. It lasted nearly a minute and caused consider- able alarm and one woman was Killed. A number of walls of buildings which were burned were thrown down and frail buildings were considerably shaken up, but the damage doue was slight, ‘The shock was felt in Oakland and Berkeley, but in these places it was very slight and of brief duration, ‘An Idea of the task which confronts the food commission may be gained from the fact that (hroaghout the city rations for 349,440 persons were dis. tributed Tuesday. This is an average estimate based on reports from @ few of the food depots. At one point pro- visions were given out to 672 persons an hour for ten hours. ‘This station is neither one of the largest nor one of the smallest, and so {ts reports were used as a basis to strikean average. ‘All flour that was recelved in sacks Is exchanged at bakeries pound for pound for bread. Almost all tho bak- erfes in the unburned region have opened and are selling’ bread at five cents a loaf. ‘There is no danger of a meat fam- ine. Representatives of the Western Meat Co. in south SaniFrancisco re- sorted to the rellet sopmmittes Wea. hesday morning that thére are now in the yards 1,500 cattle, 3,000 sheep and 500 hogs. More than 200 cattle are killed and dressed daily and sheep and hogs are put under the knife as fast as they ar- rive. The full quota of employan is at work. Wholesale grabbing of supplies by some, while others are In want, has caused the military authorities to or- Ger a new system in the distribution of food. Beginning Thuysday kitchens fand mess rooms will bo established where meals will supplied to all, but no food will be given ouf to be carried away. In the distribution of clothing, pre- cautions aganst fraud will be taken by squads detailed to visit each tent or shelter and list the occupants and tabulate thelr wants, Orders will be given out entitling the holders to. the needed clothing, bedding or other stores. Pitiful stories of suffering from ex. posure, ignorance and __ helplessness are flooding the relief committee from all sides. Of the great refuge camps that in the Presidio, which is under goverhmént control, seems most thor- oughly systematized, and that in Gol- den Gate park most disorganized though it {s rapidly assuming a habit- able basis. ‘Tho surgeon tn, charge of tho gen. eral hospital at the Presidio states that his force is perfectly organized fand that i members of the. army hurse corps are due at. the Presidio from Chicago Thurs¢ay. They will be divided between the Presidio and emergency hospitals of the city.

Everywhere throughout the burned as well as the remaining section of the city there was the greatest activity, Streets were being cleared of debris, Inborere were te- pairing broken water plpes, sewer and gas mains, electricians every- where were seeking to untangle the confusion of wires—in fact, San Francisco was in the first stages of its regeneration. There are no hungry people, the gaunt spectre of starvation has been Danished by the magnificent response of the people of California in particu. lar and by the entire nation in general to appeals that went out for assist ance. Food by the carload and boat. load poured into Oakland Saturday night and Sunday in sufficient quan. tities to overwhelm the committec which has charge of its distribution ‘he water situation, while causing inconventence to the people, is no Ionger such a problem. About two. thirds of the section of the city whict Was not burned is being supplied with sufilelent water for the pressing do- mestic needs, but, of course, there Is not yet enough to be had for fire fight. Ing purposes. ‘The total number of bodies recover. ed and buried up tp Sunday night was 500, No complete’ record can be had at this time, as many bodies have been buried without permits from the coroner and the board of health. The Associated Press representa. tives covered the entire area of the burned section Sunday. The circum- ference of the area of the great con- flagration as near as could be ascer- tained by the marking of a cyclometer fs 26 miles, and comprises the entire business district, all of which was densely populated. It 4s estimated by competent insur- ance authorities that the loss will ag- gregate $30,000,000, and of this vast amount of .property the insurance companies carried approximately 175,000,000 mmsurance, San. Francisco, Cal. — The new San Francisco that will rise from the ashes of the old was on Monday in tts first stages of rebuilding. After five days of confusion and almost superhu. man effort in the great task of shel- tering, feeding and otherwise caring for the homeless thousands, complete order has been established and atten- tion turned to the future, ‘Throughout the great business quar- ter, where the devastation by fire was the most complete, dangerous walls |were razed, buildings that had not |been disintegrated by fire were In- spected with a view of reoccupaney and ground was cleared for the imme- @jate erection of buildings in whlch to resume business at the earliest pos- sible moment. ‘The generally encouraging situation temporarly suffered a setback early Monday because of a chilling rain which fell on the thousands protected only by canvas coverings and even Jess imperious shelterings. While |the rain caused considerable suffer- ing for the time beng, conditions were quickly ameliorated by the prompt action of every relief commit, [foor an well ay by tho voluntary act of householders. Homeless people were fed in a sys- tematic manner. From the water front, where tha’ boatloads of pro. visions docked, there was an endless procession of carts and drays carry- ing food to the 52 sub-stations estab- lished throughout the city and the parks. At these stations food and drink, comprising bread, _ prepared meats and canned goods, miik and a limited amount of hot coffee and even {frat were served to all those who ap- plied. Abont 1,500 tons of provisions |are moved dally from the water front. Large supplies of blaukets, tentings and other material to provide cover- ings for those who have been scantily supplied are reaching the supply. sta. tions rapidly.

Not more than 5 per cent. have even n army tent, and makeshifts are con- structed of carpets, bed sheets and every imaginable substance. H.C. Tilden, one of the most promt. nent members of the general reliet committee, was shot and almost in stantly killed in his automobile Mon- day morning at Twenty-second and Guerrero streets while returaing from Menlo park, He was shot by members of the citizens’ patrol. Hitgo Altschull, a coachman, who was in the automobile, was cut in the face by a bullet and another ball pierced the seat and struck in the back of R. G. Seaman, acting leutenant of the second company of the signal corps. Seaman suffered no injury, Tilden was prominent commission merchant of this city and was one of the foremost workers in the general rellet work. The three men under arrest are B, S.

Boyn- ton declares that he did not see the Red Cross flag on Tilden's car and when the latter did not stop. when challenged he fired. The coachman in the car then began shooting and Sim- mons and Vance replied, San Franciico, Cal—Tuesday was tho seventh day since the earth- quake jarred the city and siarted the fires that laid it in ashes, and as on the preceding days, Tuesday took up the accumulated impetus of Monday and added much volume of foree of its ‘own, so that Wednesday dawns on a situation that 1s a long way towards the normal, One of the gruesome scenes that followed the fire was that witnessed on Telegraph and Russian ‘hills and along the entire North Beach front of tho city Tuesday morning when scores of half starved dogs were found eating human bodies, The animals were dis- covered gnawing and tearing at the corpses half buried in the ruins, Where only a leg or an arm protruded the dogs were digging for the rest of the body. All morning, rifle reports could be heard on the hillside and along the beach as the dogs were killed. Men were pressed Into service elther to: bury the dogs or throw them into the bay. In a few places-smoldering fires were found and there it was possible to cremate the animals. Tt was not belleved that there wore so many dead in the ruins of Tele- graph and Russian hills until the dogs were found there digging for the bodies. Coroner Walsh estimates that the total number of dead will not be less than 1,000, His reports are complete and his estimate 1s made up from all the data he has been able to collect. No thorough search has been made of the district south of Market street or the Chinese quarters. Many lives must have been lost in these sections. South of Market street are the cheap lodging houses and many of these col- lapsed from the earthquake. There 1s little chance that half of the inmates of the collapsed buildings had oppor- iunity to eseape,. Conditions at the Presidio are being rapidly reduced to a systematic basis. The great “excitement following the earthquake and fire have subsided and the efforts of the authorities are now directed to the organization of a per- fect system for the control of thou. sands of people who have sought refuge within the reservation. During the past few days thousands have left the reservation, having found homes with friends in’ this city or gone to Oakland, Alameda or other places, ‘The number of campers on the grounds has now been reduced to less than 8,000. A few days ago over 0,000 persons were camped on the reservation. Excess tents will be taken to other camps throughout the clty and distributed. In a few days tentaze sufficient to house 150,000 per- song will arrive in this elty. ‘Temporary structures have been erected in Golden Gate park for the housing of 40,000 people. ‘This. work was commenced Tuesday by the shel- ter committee. ‘The seizure of all vacant houses in the unburned district 1s still under way.

CRAPSEY, Of Rochester, N. Y., on Trial for Heresy. THE CHARGE BEING That He Intentionally Expressed a Disbelief in Some of the Doc- trines of the Church. Bataiav, N. Y.—Before an _eccle- ‘siastical tribunal in the Batavia court house Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey, ‘rector of St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal church, Rochester, N. Y-, Wednesday listened to the first testi- mony on the charges made against him of heresy and violation of his ordination vows, A motion of counsel for the defense for a postponement of the hearing was dented by the court and the examination of witnesses was begun at the Wednesday afternoon session. John L, O'Brian, of Buffalo, is lead- ing counsel for the prosecution, Dr. Crapsey is represented by Congress- man James B. Perkins, of Rochester, and Edward M. Shepard, of New York City. a The Episcopal "book of common prayer was introduced in evidence as ‘one of the principal pleces of docu- mentary evidence against Dr. Crapsey, as well as a book of his own writings, or sermons, published by him under the title “Religion and Politics.” ‘There Is no dispute as to what Dr. Crapsey said. The question that will be at issue upon that trial Is whether his questioned preachings do or do not violate the doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal church. ‘The presentment against him con- taines 15 extracts from his book, the charge being that he intentionally ex- pressed disbelief In these doctrines of the church: The divinity of Christ, the Conception of the Holy Ghost, the Virgin Birth, the Bodily Resurrection, and the Trinity. COAL AND OIL. Hearing of Testimony by Inter-State ‘Commerce Commission, Washington, D. C.— When the hearing before the inter-state com merce commission in tho investiga tion being conducted under the Till man-Gillespie coal and oll resofution was resumed Wednesday, A.C. Ful- mar was the first witness called. He said he was formerly in the coal busi. ness near Morgantown, W. Va. He ‘stated he leased some coal property from G, C. Sturgis, who, he sald, was president and the principal stockhold- ‘er in the Morgantown & Kingwood railway, which connects with the Bal- timore & Ohio at Morgantown. A spur track connected Mr. Fulmar’s mine with the Morgantown & Kingwood road. He sald the road passod into other hands in December, 1902, and he understood that it went to Stephen B. Elkins. Davis Elkins, he said, be- came president of the road. He said the Elkins opened some mining prop- erty near Morgantown, but not on the Morgantown & Kingwood railroad. He was asked as to what cars he obtained after that. He said he could not get as many as he wanted. He gave the number of cars furnished him during 1903 up to June, after which he sald he got none, because they refused to let him have any. Tt was claimed, he said, that the branch track was in dangerous condition. He also said that a portion of the branch had been torn up. The witness said the Elkins mines got cars after he shad not been able to get any. THE NATIONAL LAWMAKERS.

Jackson has traveled through several states, and for the first time in the period mentioned is doing evangelistic work among his own people. Our local pastors are gi'ing their presence and support to the union revival meeting at Antioch church and are urging their members to do likewise. The result is the meetings are exceptionally successful and very much being accomplished. Being accomplished Evangelist Jackson's singing like his preaching is above the average.

MAKE MONEY! The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Springfield, Zanesville, East Liverpool, Wellsville, Urbana, Akron, Ravenna, Oberlin, Plaqu, Gallipolis, Cambridge, Delaware, Lima, Portsmouth, Chillicothe, Circleville, Kenton, Hamilton and Toledo, O.; Pittsburg, Allegheny, Sewickley, Sharon and New Castle, Pa.; Wheeling and Parkersburg, W.

Our editor 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 WHEN GOING TO PITTSBURG 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 has trains every day, not daily except Sunday, and the road 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 car, and let me buy a cafe club car along the banks of the picturesque Beaver and Ohio Rivers into Pittsburg City. 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. Starlight's Buffet.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. WHAT AILED JACK'S STEED. He Had "Trimmed" the Old "Craft" Shipshape to Facilitate Navigation. With many a hitch of his trousers and pulls at his forelock in respectful salute to justice, Jack Collins, able seaman, was navigated up to the court-round railing on a machine on a charge of cruelty to animals. "He had a paving-stone tied to the tail of the horse he was riding, your worship," said the officer who had arrested him. "What was that for?" sternly asked the magistrate. GAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER. How the Late John Hay Displayed His Aptitude for the LAW. When the late Secretary Hay applied for admission to the Army of Illinois he was summoned to appear before a committee of prominent Chicago lawyers to be examined as to his qualifications, relates the American Spectator. He went to the place appointed and the committee assembled; but for a long time they took no notice of the young candidate, but continued to talk vigorously together on various subjects. At last one of the lawyers, turning to him, said, "Mr. Hay, what would you do if a client should come to you with such a case as this?" and he proceeded to describe very elaborately a complicated legal case. "Promptly replied to a retaining fee of $30," promptly replied to Hay, "and叫 to call-morrow."

Two Relate their Experiences. Mrs. A.E.G. Hyland The "change of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who neglects the care of her mother invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. Cancerers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregular heartbeat, variable appetite, weakness, inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to attend a special event and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge.
