THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 40. THE WOMAN IN A HAT By now the styles are well assured, one need not wait longer to decide about gown and wrap; and of course by now the new hat is at least all planned out. Hats are purchased earlier than they used to be, even when there are yet a few flurries of snow flying one sees befflowered straws braving a cold and wintry aspect. It is a mistake to get the spring hat late, for nothing looks shabbler and warmer than heavy headgear on the occasional suity day in May. This year flowers amany bloom in the millinery world and, too, there are very good hats whose only adornment is flowered ribbon. The latter make perhaps the best utility hats offered, ribbon keeping its freshness longer than almost any other trimming. Very trim sailors match the street suit in color and the trimming of ribbon repeats the prevailing tone, while pleasing contrast is shown in the fanciful border or flower design. Ribbons now are as attractive as they were in the days when your mamma was young—you all must have about the house scraps of those really beautiful golds and blues that were the delight of girlish hearts long years ago. crystal button the blue of verdancy, and mere sure There is no more chic than they are as m slashed up beaded with frills. We have sive suit of material dark with a skirt figure at the out in some decided finals The jacket wet Etons, gay wilk, most grey. The hood in front, trimmed with veil, one of the three large completed a tume. Actresses it may be wiltume worn the of the most divers of the prudices, soody. We noticed a simple and smart hat recently that might easily be copied. It was a blue and green combination, the green used in small touches and very cunningly disposed. The frame was a dark blue sailor with large Tam O'Shanter crown and a very high bandeau at the back; the trimming, lustrous dark blue ribbon with tiny bunches of green leaves which but peeped out here and there; yards and yards of ribbon were puffed up on the bandeau. This "creation" was worn with a blue silk waist and cloth skirt, the waist trimmed with finest green A Few Notes on What is in Style A Few Notes on What is in Style Although every other woman you meet wears cut-off sleeves and conspicuous long gloves, it really is not incumbent that you feel troubled if a few waists have sleeves coming quite down to the wrist. To tell the truth, city folks are a little tired of the woman with arms akimbo to show she has on a pair of expensive long gloves, and it seems some of the best-dressed women have concluded the thing is A SMART AND SERVICEABLE HAT. being run into the ground, it is time to call a halt. For the lingerie waist and more elaborate cloth costume it is well to keep to the shortened sleeve, but don't bother about anything else for ordinary wear. Parasols are exceptionally pretty this year, and none prettier than the embroidered linens—unless it be those that travel under the name Japanese. So many things these days bear the name of Nipon though also bearing most boldly a United States aspect. But the Japanese influence has worked for good; we now have opportunity to buy at a moderate sum such pretty crystal buttons. In using green with blue the advice is to avoid over much of verdancy, just enough to give life and more suggestion of color. There is nothing in spring styles more chic than the smart little Etons. They are as natty as can be with their slashed-up backs and rounded fronts edged with accordion plaited silk frills. We have in mind an inexpensive suit of very good style, a gray material dark in tone. It was made with a skirt that fitted close to the figure at the waist and then swung out in some mysterious fashion into decided fullness about the ankles. The jacket was one of the half loose Etons, gay with frills of dark green silk, most effective with the slate gray. The hat was a black chip point in front, dented in elsewhere, and trimmed with damask roses. A black veil, one of those affairs with but two or three large dots, "beauty patches," completed a modest yet colorful costume. Actresses set the styles for us and it may be well to chronicle the costume worn the other afternoon by one of the most distinguished women members of the profession. To speak rhapsodically, we would call the costume a spring song—or at least a poem. It was of that loveliest olive green, the green of unopened leaves. The matarial was some silky transparent stuff the skirt had a long train, the coat was tight fitting with very long basques; sleeves came just below the elbow, where they were met by white gloves. The hat was long and nar row and a single plume added to the hat, where they were met. A yell matching the gown exactly was draped over the hat and fell about the shoulders. The charming ensemble besoke a Paris creator. wash silks, and pongees are not so very expensive when you consider their wearing qualities. Pongee dust cloaks are most satisfactory, especially useful for summer and early fall days. A pongee shirt waist suit makes an ideal traveling dress or street dress for the city. In spite of assertions to the contrary, chemisettes are to continue in style; it is a dainty and becoming fashion and one we cling to. Lace-work stockings are favored over embroidered ones, and may be had in all qualities, from the finest silk down to cheapest thick cotton. White shoes and hose will be even more in demand than last year. Where do the intricate crochet laces all come from. The other day we were almost moved to the rudeness of asking a stranger where she had discovered the lovely cuff and collar set of crochet she wore. Her frock was very plain but given distinction by the elegant neckwear. The coat sets now affected look so clean and give just the right amount of adornment to a street suit, and in each letter we feel like emphasizing their desirability. ELLEN OSMONDE. Literally True.

One Member of the United States Senate Upon Whom We Can Depend — And There Are Others. Hon. H. C. Smith. Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: I thank you for sending me the clipping from "The Guardian." The deductions it makes have not occurred to anybody else, so far as I am aware. I amended my amendment in the way The Guardian mentions at the suggestion of Ex-Senator Blair and a number of others in order that we might have in the law a provision on which the commission can base orders enforcing proper treatment of colored people, and all others who may not be given good service and equally good accommodations. When I drew the amendment I put in a requirement for equally good service. I thought that broad enough to accomplish everything, but finding they would be better satisfied to have in the words "equally good accommodations," I amended my amendment accordingly. I think you will agree with me that we could not possibly get more, and I shall be highly gratified if we succeed in getting this much into the bill, for then we will have ample authority for the commission, if so disposed, to enforce equal rights. Very truly yours, etc. J. B. FORAKER. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. The following clipping, from one of our race publications of the nation's capital, is pertinent: "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 the associations sons as well as things. A large number of senators have indicated their willingness to befriend an amendment of this nature, and Senators Foraker, Knox, Dick and Crane appear to be deeply interested. These influential members of the upper house of congress have assured Mr. White and his committee that the rate bill will not be permitted to come to a vote until the amendment they desire to be made a part of the bill is introduced in the senate and voted upon."

Further down Cherry street the team was stopped. As Mrs. Thompson jumped to the pavement she fell, striking her elbow and fracturing one of the small bones. She also struck her head, fracturing the nose and orbital ridge above the Dr. Henzer, who was carried into the office of Dr. Henzer, for a paternary treatment and sent her to the hospital with Mr. Pearl Barber, who escaped with bruises about the head and body.

THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has, the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The best friend of the race in the United States senate is Senator Joseph B. Foraker. SAYS THE RACE IS DYING OUT. Dr. Zeale Harris, professor of medicine in the University of Alabama, speaking to President Roosevelt recently in regard to the ravages of consumption among Afro-Americans of the south, expresses the "fear" concurred in by the medical fraternity generally in the south that our race is likely to become extinct in this country through the ravages of disease, especially consumption. He reaches this conclusion from statistics showing that the death rate is much greater than the birth rate. This statement is very often so given, and if it be true that the death rate of any people is greater than their birth rate, then there is ground for fear. But our people have been on the increase in this country from the time of the introduction of slavery, in 1620. In every decade of years when the census is taken on the part of the national government, it is known that in almost every family of our people the number of children averages from five to eight, while in the white families the average stands from three to six. This means that the Afro-American is recuperative, and if the mortality is greater than the births, it must be attributed to causes which may be overcome in the course of time. We do not believe that the death of the Afro-American is brought about so much from disease as from exposure and other causes. Were this true, the race could not prove itself so recuperative. The reproduction of a race cannot be the outgrowth of disease and consumption, for in most cases almost all diseases are hereditary. Medical men, therefore, may find due cause for this excess of mortality over the birth of the Afro-American without attributing it to disease. The Afro-American possesses the richest, the warmest and strongest blood of any people on the continent. As a labor element, that blood remains warm and strong which necessarily renders him a recuperative force. The race is progressive and is taking advantage of its opportunities. On every hand we have the evidence of growth, progress and development along lines that are healthful and saving. Already they have fallen into the practices of American life. The churches and the schools are the common nurseries of all, and by the cultivation of good principles and virtuous habits a large majority of the race hold high rank in morality, in religion and a well ordered life. All races are subject to deteriorating influences, all have their imperfections, but against these agencies the Afro-American is rising to grandeer and nobler life. SECRETARY TAFT MAKES A BAD LEAD. The position that Secretary Taft now takes in justifying the exclusion of the Afro-American from the use of the ballot shows the gradual venture he makes in his bid for the presidential nomination. In his bold presumption to gain popularity, he protitutes the great principles of constitutional government to gluttony and ambition, and through a selfish desire to succeed, he makes the poor Negro his hobby horse. We have no doubt but that Secretary Taft has a conviction; but has he an honest conviction? Has he a well conceived motive of righteous duty actuating him to deal fairly with the present generation for the welfare of posterity? This is the momentous question which should concern statesmen and philanthropists and the American churches. The man who would subserve the best interest of his country, must deal fairly with all citizens. He must conform to the mandates of enlightened conscience. From recent utterances the secretary places himself in line with the most virulent demagogue in pandering to the passions and prejudices of the less thoughtful of the American people. The training and education of the American mind has been from the very introduction of slavery into the colonies, against the Afro-American. The sentiment which degraded the slave, also degraded the master, and popular feeling itself has been one cecpool of iniquity and deprivacy whose very breath permeated the entire body-politic and all the ramifications of American life. The master may have learned the letter, but the spirit and precepts of the moral law, as proclaimed under the new dispensation and according to the Apostolic idea, were never indoctrinated into the hearts of those who oppressed the Negro and violated the ten commandments. Just now Secretary Taft is feeling his way into the popular mind with a view of ingratiating himself in favor with an element which has always hated and opposed the Afro-American. Despite the fact that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have provided equal citizenship and equal suffrage for Afro-Americans in common with all other citizens of the republic and despite the fact that our people of America are rapidly improving their opportunity and educating themselves along lines with all other races; yet the great Secretary Taft, after nearly half a century of freedom and constitutional guarantees and in mean emulation of the spirit of caste, and the propensity of a wolf, like a traitor joins the enemy of his country and makes the Negro his hobby horse by which he hopes to ride into office. In other days men have sought to find some engrossing theme upon which to address popular audiences, but today the politician and the demagogue dare to go behind the constitution, to ignore the majesty of law and to nullify the basic principle upon which governments are founded. Secretary Taft enrolls himself with this class of men and demands that all Afro-Americans shall be denied the right of the ballot. He not only makes this demand but he further requires that Afro-Americans (many of whom being his peers) shall be restricted to certain places under the government. To whom does he make this appeal? He very well understands the terrible state of feeling in this country incident to the condition of slavery to which black men were once reduced and he knows that even now a mad, unnatural and unchristian feeling is still rife in the hearts of a manhating element, and he reports himself at the bar of public opinion that "I too," Secretary Taft, "have joined this band." Through mere speculation, he offers himself as the avowed champion of proscription and discrimination, and the advocate of persecution and mobocracy. During all the years of freedom to the Negro Mr. Taft has tacitly acquiesced in these guarantees of Negro suffrage. But he wants something, and he wants it badly. He wants to be president of the nation, and he believes that a few well directed blows upon the head of the Afro-American may prove a helpful means in landing him in the presidential chair. His course how ever is one of injustice and wrong; and his very attitude before the people means subversion to the constitution and disloyalty of the American heart to a race that has ever stood for good government and free institutions. So well versed is Secretary Taft in all the affairs of the nation, and so trained is he in the principles of jurisprudence and political ethics that we are forced to the belief that the secretary is not satisfied with his utterances and being dissatisfied he cannot be honest in the position he now takes against Afro-Americans. The Penalty. "If this country is to continue to be a Republic its task will never be completed as long as seven or eight millions of its people are in a large degree regarded as aliens, and are without voice or interest in the welfare of the government. Such a course will not merely inflict great injustice upon these millions of people, but the nation will pay the price of finding the genius and form of its government changed, not perhaps in name, but certainly in reality, and because of this the world will say that free government is a failure."—Booker T. Washington. To Hang the Lynchers. Jefferson City, Mo.-Gov. Folk be fore departing for St. Louis, said: "Every man who had anything to do with the murder of those Negroes at Springfield should, be hanged.

BLOW AT OUR ELKS. Afro-American Arrested for Wearing Elk Pin; She Head Right To. New York City—Recently O. R. Johnson was arrested for wearing on the lapel of his coat an emblem of the Order of Elks. The arrest was made under section 674-A of the penal code, otherwise known as the Grattan bill, which was not any unauthorized person to wear the insignia of an order which has had ten years' standing in the state. Johnson claimed that he had a right to wear the pin, as he was an Elk of good standing in an Afro-American lodge. But white Elks claim that there are no Afro-American Elks at all, and that the Afro-American Order of Improved Elks is spurious. The result of the case is awaited with interest. The Grattan bill was introduced by Amblybman William J. Grattan, of Newman man and aimed at our Elks. They, however, made no effort to fight it before it was adopted. --- The term Negro has not even a respectable tribe in Africa to dignify it.

My backaches and headaches are all gone and I suffer no pain at my monthly periods, whereas before I took Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain."

THE PANAMA CANAL Congress Not Likely to Legislate for Lock or Sea Level Type. Washington, D. C. — Congress is not likely to pass legislation determining the type of canal to be constructed across the isthmus of Panama. Although no vote was taken, that was the drift of a discussion by the senate committee on inter-oceanic canals, which was in session for three hours Wednesday. The sentiment expressed by an overwhelming majority of the committee was that the present law, the Spooner act, intended to provide for a leek canal and that congress having once decided this question should not be denied as specially as the administration charged with the construction favors that plan. During the discussion, Secretary Taft's report was quoted, as follows: "If congress decides in favor of a lock canal, or if it chooses not to make any decision at all and is willing to leave the situation upon the law as it is, the president will not hesitate to adopt the plan recommended by the minority, with some possible modification, and proceed to the speedy construction of the great waterway and 55-foot level." The isthman canal commission Wednesday decided to ask for an appropriation of $26,348,281 to continue the construction of the canal during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907. The estimates are for a lock canal. Can be Admitted to Bar. Columbus, O. — S. S. Wheeler, Dennis F. Cash and F. C. McGown, a committee of lawyers appointed some time ago by the supreme court to investigate educational institutions in the state with a view of ascertaining what ones had courses entitling their graduates to admission to the bar examinations, made their report to the court Wednesday. They state that the college's mission is to Mary's institute; Dayton; St. Ignatius college, Cleveland; St. Xavier college, Cincinnati; St. Joseph college, New Concord, O.; Normal university, Ada, with a degree of B. A., shows the completion of a four-year high school course, such as fixed as the standard by the court. Sued Secretary Shaw. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Shaw Wednesday was made defendant in a petition for a mandamus filed in the district supreme court by Emily E. Parish, of St. Louis, Mo., as administrator of John W. Parish, to compel him to turn over to her $181,358. The suit grows out of a claim made by Parish for payment for ice furnished the United States army in 1863 in Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee. Congress authorized the payment of the claim. Secretary Shaw has refused to turn over the money because congress failed to specifically appropriate it. Damage by Storm. Fort Smith, Ark. — Huntington and Mansfield, Ark., were damaged by a violent wind and rain storm Tuesday night. Wires were blown down, cutting off communication. The streets of Huntington were flooded to a depth of two feet. Houses were unroofed and a number of buildings demolished. At Mansfield, three miles from Huntington, large tracts of timber were leveled and fences for miles destroyed. The warehouse of the A. T. Booth Wholesale Grocery Co. was destroyed and the St. Louis & San Francisco bridge was twisted out of line. Heavy Rains Damage Railroads Dallas, Tex.—Extremely heavy rains, destructive winds and lightning have caused serious washouts on the railroads and much damage in northern Texas.

Similar conditions exist on the Missouri Kansas & Texas. Red Cross Relief Fund Washington, D. C.—The total amount of money raised by the American Red Cross to date for the relief of San Francisco sufferers is $1,738,000. Of this sum $400,000 has been sent in cash to San Francisco, $34,400 was spent for blankets, forwarded for the relief work, and $2,000 was used in building provisions. The present balance is $1,302,000, which is being held at the disposal of the San Francisco Red Cross and relief committee. Charged with Padding Pay Roll. New York. — John P. Brosseau, until ten days ago custodian of Tiffany & Co., jewelers, was arrested Wednesday, charged with the theft of $5,000 from the company's pay roll of the repair department. The company charged amounts larger than they actually received, keeping the balance himself. Congress. Washington.—In the senate on the 25 Mr. Daniel concluded his speech on the railroad rate bill. The army appropriation bill was read, but its consideration was not concluded. The cultural appropriation bill. The bill carries $7,481,440. The military academy bill was also passed.

AWFUL SUFFERING From Deadful Pains from Wound or Foot—System All Run Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been ill for a long time. My blood was so bad blood poisoning had occurred in several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital, where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark spots on my feet and ankles in places, and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not improve, I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and I was not able to wear a shoe and about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and I was not able to wear a shoe and application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle, for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before application at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during the illness and who have seen it were not able to wear a shoe. Robert Schoenhauser, Newburgh, N. Y., Aug. 21, 1905."

"Got to have it," replied Clancy, cheerfully, "for mechanical purposes. I'm going to raise a barn." HE HAD ENERGY TO SPARE HE HAD ENERGY TO SPARE A man in the southwest had so much nervous energy to spare that when his mule's will and his crossed he tried to peruse it, and the man pulled by the mule in well-placed kick located on the mule's abdomen, relates the Minnesota Journal. You should never play another's game with him and expect to show up well at the mule's door. You can be the graceful art of kicking, but he has the science of it by heredity and by enjoyment of the game. He kick he saw with the white of one of the eyes the man recovering from the recoil of the kick, he merely moved his left rear corner slightly and rubbed his hoof on the owner so severely that it was hard to see. And has had 14 stitches taken on his bump of perspicacy. The foolish man sits in at the mule's owner and man peruses his to try it and watches results from a position 30 yards to the left.

WAS WEAK AND DIZZY WAS WEAK AND DIZZY Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Restored the Patient to Perfect Health And Strength. Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. 576 South Summer street, Hollyoke, Mass., has passed through an experience which proves that some of the greatest blessings of life may lie within easy reach and yet be found only by more chance. A few years ago, I employed in the mills she was suddenly seized with dizziness and great weakness. "I was so weak at times," she says, "that I could hardly stand, and my head became so dizzy that it seemed as if the wind was blowing." "My condition at last became so bad that I was obliged to give up work in the mill, and later still I became so feebly that I could not even attend to me household duties. After the slightest drop it did down and rest until I regained strength. "A friend who had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to try them. I bought a box and began to take them. The benefit was so positive and so quickly evident that I continued and took them altogether six boxes. By that time I altogether cured, and for two years I have had no return of my trouble. I am now in the best of health and able to attend to all my duties. I am glad to acknowledge the benefit I received and I hope that my statement may be the hope of inducing others who may suffer in this disease. I am grateful to the Secret of the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of doobility, such as Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact that they make new blood, and every organ and even every thy nerve in the body feels the stir of a new tide of stress."
