THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 42. The Fashions of the Day THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION TWO HANDSOME BLOUSES WITH EMBROIDERY WITH INSET LACE MOTIFS. The Matinee-Jacket Girl Shirt waists of snowy white, sheer waist of snowy white, all womankin arrayed in summer stuffs. It is hard to tell where the shirt waist stops and lingerie waist begins, for they are so closely related. One sees a charming negligee shirt waist that looks like a boating shirt, the sleeves short with turn-back cuffs, the collar a lay-down, easy cut of neckwear finished with a soft, easy-looking tie. This promises to be a feature of waists of the summer of 1906, and one can readily see it has considerable to recommend it, perhaps the chief thing the unmistakable air of comfort. The pretty sailor is a very appropriate accompaniment. We must be either very short waisted to day or else very long waisted and svelte—Empire modes or elongated bodice. The models shown in the illustration belong decidedly to the latter class. On the lingerie blouse of latest style we find the trimming slightly different from last year, the chief novelty, perhaps, the use of heavy lace and embroidery on sheer material, used in narrow inset lines. It is a pretty idea, emphasizes the fineness of the material. Not a few of the new lingerie blouses are quite low in the neck; there are some with a square neck, some V-shaped, and The matinee girl and the matinee-jacket girl need not be at all alike; one loves to spend sentimental hours with a stage hero, one loves to lounge in buddoir privacy and comfort. But in summer there are days when we are all matinee-jacket inclined, when even the most energetic is glad to take to comfortable loose negligee and comfortable pillowed couch; wherefore it is well to present a little talk on present-day styles in negligee costume. One may spend a small fortune on tea-jacket and tea-gown, and one may attain very attractive ones for only a small outlaw. Imported, hand-made Minglerie affairs cost way up, are impossible for the average purse; but one may throw together oneself, if at all capable, some filmy stuff and feel quite content with results. There are figured swissies that that need but little trimming and are inexpensive and very appropriate for summer lounging robe and sack; there are wash silks that are likewise inexpensive and pretty mulls, lawns, handkerchief linen—any number of materials. Empire styles are licked, the short-waisted girdle made of insertion and lace like that with the garment is trimmed. The loose sack, loose from short yoke down, is still in favor, and the other day we saw a novelty in the way of one meant to slip on over the head. This had a square neck, the opening large enough to go over the head easily, and there was avoided the usual problem of how to keep a loose sack closed—as a rule always unfastening at the most awkward moment. Of course, sleeves are all short, for coolness, and to give the dressy look desired. Sometimes the sleeve will be a mere ruffle, a deep frill. The flowered dimities and organdies are preferred by some, for the reason that there is less of a night-gown appearance in colored materials. Made up with three tiny frills at the bottom, a lace yoke and lace-trimmed sleeves, there is less of a night-gown appear. The designs of the day, the neat little rosehair patterns, are well suited to these dainty negleagues. Challis is an excellent material to select for the light-weight tea-gown, and the challis of the season are particularly pretty for house gowns, cotton crepes are also effective, very good for the long-training Empire modes. With such a gown one should take In Union There is Strength. others with the round Dutch neck—also styled the Alice Roosevelt. All sleeves are short. One sees such lovely shades of green this year, and though green hats cannot be said to retain the popularity of a couple of years back those that are abroad are generally extremely pretty. The green most approved is a soft gray green, not the brilliant emerald obtaining earlier. There is no color cooler looking in summer, more refreshing, and when becoming it is a wise choice for a warm weather frock. Charming green voilies are noticed, and some charming green taffetas. For evening wear crepe de chine is in high-favor, and a favored trimming is the new ribbon embroidery. Touches of black velvet are much used, very pretty with summer gowns. It is seen rather on evening occasions than for the street, where there is observable harmony than contrast. And speaking of street costumes, everybody is getting weary of corset skirt and abbreviated bolero, the short-waisted jackets that extend below the waist line are in better style; one sees numbers of excellent ones of this sort, they look so simple and neat, not ambitious and obtrusive like the tight-fitting corset. COMFORTABLE AND PRETTY. pains to dress the hair in picturesque, high fashion, and with a careless looseness in harmony with the negligee costume. One can be comfortable and at the same time have regard for appearances—and if this is adhered to we shall find fewer criticisms. Japan and China, lands where women are supposed to spend their days in uninterrupted ease, lend us good ideas for negligee costumes, and we have borrowed the pagoda sleeves, modified the kimona to suit our ideas. We also borrow the foot gear of the orient to a certain extent, their cool sandals and silken shoes. The inexpensive Turkish slippers, which come in such delectable blues and bronzes, often are just the thing to accompany a lounging costume—depending, of course, upon the style and color of the gown or jacket. Dainty underclothes should be worn with: the lounging toilet, let nothing disturb the effect of exquisiteness and repose. It makes one shudder to see an exquisite kimona above heavy calf-skin shoes, and one does not particularly care for a Japanese gown accompanied by Turkish footwear. Just a little thought, attention to details, is needed for right dressing—not a lot of money. ELLEN OSMONDE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1906.

The frantic man, writhing with pain and strangling, with eyeballs nearly popping out, ran among his fellow workmen. "Unable to explain the reptile, some thought him mad, and fed, others beat him in the back. After hours of terrible agony he finally strangled to death.

St. Louis, Mo.—According to a special dispatch to the Globe Democrat of this city, from Washington, D. C. on May 9, Senator Warner, Missouri republican United States senator, proposed an important amendment to the railroad bill on that date, which was adopted without a roll call, hassim with roll calls had been in order on the other amendments, the Missouri senator was a little surprised, but none the less pleased. The Election amendment had been adopted designed to prevent railroads and other carriers from engaging in the coal, oil or other business in competition with shippers over their lines of road, when Senator Warner offered his. It requires carriers to give "equally good service and accommodation to all persons paying the same compensation." One effect of the amendment, not apparent at once, is that it will prevent the recognition of the "Jim Crow" car in inter-state commerce. Senator Foraker the other day offered a similar amendment, which required "equal or as good accommodations." The wording seemed to Senator Warner to be subject to loo!lib the constitution. Senator Foraker, who readily agreed with him on the wording of his amendment, and he then proposed it, with the result stated.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902 TRADING COUNCIL Cleveland, Saturday, May 19, 1906. 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. We do not believe the Warner amendment, mentioned in our St Louis, Mo., letter elsewhere in this paper, will do what is claimed for it if its wording has been quoted correctly. Somebody ought to tell Fremont's "trash" that the Ohio laws do not permit separate or "Jim Crow" (public) schools. The Ely-Arnett bill settled that question years ago. DOES NOT MEAN THE AFRO AMERICAN. President Roosevelt is too great and good a man to mean that because a few colored laborers from the West Indies are not constant in labor on the Panama, that therefore Afro-Americans will not work. Negro labor from the West Indies has been trained and regulated quite in accordance with the methods and practices of West Indian life. The people in the West Indies irrespective of races are much given to the custom of alternating and working at their leisure. They are a people fond of ease and are so addicted because unlike people in America, they have no labor system, no trades' unions or large combinations to obligate the duties as are adhered to in this country. In fact the people of the West Indies are not to be compared with the hard-working toilers of this country. The very spirit of industry and of our free institutions impel an awakening desire and ambition on the part of the Afro-American laborer to grasp the opportunity and to labor for the best wages. But it is found that even when the white laborer goes on a strike, the Afro-American frequently takes his place. Too often is it the case that he not only fills the vacant place, but he holds it with a persistent will, until upon a compromise with the strikers he is forced to relinquish his post. The president speaks of the Negro laborers of the West Indies. It cannot be that he intended to imply that Afro-Americans will not prove their constancy to duty. It cannot be that the president means that Afro-Americans will not work when indeed there is not a case on record and nowhere to be found where Afro-Americans have offered such an example as is given by the laborers from the West Indies. There are thousands of Afro-Americans having family pride, intelligence and ambition who are hungering for the oppportunity to labor and to accumulate a saving fund for future needs. The noble-president has said: "Every one knows that we cannot get labor from the United States to go down to Panama and work." But let the proper demands be made upon Afro-Americans and let the inducement be offered in connection with the fact that Afro-Americans are preferred and they will be on the ground. Really it has been for some time that white labor was mainly solicited. The managers so announced and required that the application for labor should come from the whites, until finally the call was made for laborers indiscriminately. The Afro-American fully recognizes the fact that he is an oppressed citizen in his own home—therefore he is naturally an adventurer. He shares in the spirit and ambition of American enterprise and he will seek a foreign home where he may find employment six days in the week, where he may work with a will and earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. "JIM CROW" CARS THE SHAME OF THE SOUTH. The institution of southern slavery in its day was a disgrace to American civilization and is no apology under any circumstances for the barbarous and inhuman practice of the "Jim Crow" car system of today in the south. Slavery prostituted the owners of slaves and stands as a reproach to every man who dared to advocate it or become a party to the horrible and detestable crime of robbery and outrage. Yet these unscrupulous men still engage in the work of oppression and proscription by placing Afro-Americans off in pens on railroads and street cars as though they were smitten with the leprosy or some deadly contagion. The shame becomes revolting when it is seen that those who authorize the separate car law seem to exult in the infamy as though they had won a righteous triumph in the cause of humanity and God. It is a most humiliating spectacle to see Afro-Americans corner- ing themselves off in one end of the car like Siberian culprits being lead away to prison. It is the more intensified to hear the conductor yell out, "get back there! tumble over where all niggers belong." It seems no matter to what inconvenience or humiliation Afro-Americans are subjected in enforcing these wretched regulations. Of all Americans, the southern white people more than others, profess a high sense of justice and propriety, and manifest a spirit of extreme indignation to have their honor impeached. Just why after so many years of progress and development, they should cling to prejudices so debasing and corrupt seems bewildering to the intelligent mind. We have seen dark skin people sit with the whites because they were known to be of the white race and we see persons fairer than the so-called whites sit with the blacks, because they are said to be Afro-Americans. Can anything be more disgusting to find among Americans a law enforcing such a conglomeration of living mortals. Yet there are professed Christian people in this foremost, civilized country of the world, who are constant in advocating such degradation. Are people in the south, who are purely white, yet subject themselves to this humiliation of the separate car law, because of certain, relations they have clandestinely born with the colored race, and there are fair skinned cectorors and who rank with the whites only because the conductors and proprietors of the roads are unwilling to have it otherwise. From any view of this abominable restriction imposed upon human beings made in the image of the Almighty, it is simply nauseating to one having a just conception of the moral law and the requirements of those duties assigned to all men and the human family by the infinite mind. We fancy that nowhere among enlightened men can there be found another such exhibition of man's inhumanity to man. In the open day of our great southern cities, Afro-Americans are stalled off like brutes to share in the needless and barbarous regulation imposed by those who profess themselves to be the humble followers of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of all men the Redeemer of mankind. American justice and American civilization, though scouring every iniquity of wrong, place no restraint upon those so proscribed; thus through this degradation, an incentive for rowdyism is given whereupon the wildest scenes are induced in defiance of all rules of decency and decorum. We need not wonder that in the sweep of time calamity comes when retribution sways the sceptre in bringing to naught the sinful ways of an ungodly people. HEAR THE MUSIC OF THE PINES. Hear the music of the pines! Murmuring through the climbing vines, Sighing through the tree-tops high, Floating upward to the sky. Thence descending where I lie Hear the music of the pines! What sweet thoughts the music brings. What new gladness from it springs? As reclining in a dream, Watch I, listless, a sunbeam Dancing in the silvery stream What sweet thoughts the music brings! Hear the music of the pines! How it round my fancy twines? While fragrances of flowers fill All the pulses my heart As I, lingering, linger still Hear the music of the pines! —T. Thomas Fortune.

The company asks for a new trial. It is claimed that the verdict appeared to be given under the influence of passion and prejudice. The verdict ought to have been larger and we think the higher courts will increase it. Attorney Stearns is making a great fight for Miss Jackson. Hon. John P. Green, stamp agent Washington, D. C., writes The Gazette that he has accepted an invitation to address the graduating class of the Manassas industrial school, May 30, and that at the annual election of St. Luke's high school, D. C., Easter Monday night, he was for the fourth time elected a vestryman. Also that his daughter, Clara A. Green, who graduates this year from Armstrong high school, has been elected valedictorian. Mr. Green's department is to be abolished July 1, it is said. A committee of the Business Men's league headed by J. Walter Wills have been successful in securing the appointment of Miss Lucy James, a trained nurse, to the staff of the Visiting Nurses' association. The organization, a charitable one, composed of some of Cleveland's leading ladies, has a staff of 10 or 12 nurses who are all $200 plus. They also furnish free, clean linen to those who need a nurse's service and are unable to pay for the same. This is one of the most deserving charitable organizations in the city and has been very helpful to thousands of poor of the city and too without any reference to color or class. Our people should help that organization, the Protestant Orphan asylum, St. Alexis and Charity hospitals, and all other institutions that assist the poor in need of color. It is time we were giving something in return for the great assistance continually rendered (and at considerable cost) our needy and deserving by such organizations. Mr. Geo.

Finnegan, a Cincinnati widow, on Tuesday lost by a decision of the supreme court a $10,000 life insurance judgment against the Mutual Reserve Fund Life association.

Thousands of Cars Being Burned. Columbus, O., May 16.—The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. is burning up 10,000 old freight cars which were in use on lines west of Pittsburgh.

Four thousand of the cars are being burned in the yards here. Many fire alarms are installed, and who have seen the smoke from the burning cars and supposed that there was a big fire in the End East.

Blair pitched headlong from the platform between two coaches. He was going to the Battle Creek sanitarium and was also commended by his wife and two friends. He has greatly worried of late over the disclosures of the Drake commission and deemed it advisable to go to the sanitarium. They Sell Intoxicants to Children. Cleveland, May 17.—Some Cleveland saloonkeepers sell intoxicants to mere children as they please. They are practically immune from punishment, though the juvenile court sometimes punishes the children. In the last case of the kind to be called to the court's notice three boys, none over 10 years, bought half a pint of whiskey at a Croton street saloon, drank it and went to their room at the Case Woodland school in varying stages of intoxication.

CORDIAL INVITATION CORDIAL INVITATION ADDRESSED TO WORKING GIRLS Miss Barrows Tells How Mrs Pinkham's Advice Helps Working Girls. Girls who work are particularly susceptible to female disorders, especially those who are obliged to stand on their feet from mornings until 4 p.m. in stores or factories.

Barrows Day in and day out the girl toil, and she is often the bread-winner of the family. Whether she is sick or well, whether it rains or shines, she must get to her place of employment, form the outfit of her smile and be agreeable. Among this class the symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach. In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, periods become there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden. All these symptoms point to a derangement of the female organism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Billy by Y. Barrows, Nelsonville, Ala. Co.

Before took them I was very nervous, and dull heart. After I was cured, I had been to several doctors, and they did me no good. "Your medicine has made me well and strong. I can do most any kind of work without complaint, and my periods are all right. "I am in better health than I ever was, and I know it is all due to your remedies. I wish your advice and medicine to all who suffer." It is to such girls that Mrs. Pinkham holds out to help hand and extends a cordial invitation to correspond with her. She is daughter-in-law of Lyda E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge.

Commissioner Host, of Wisconsin, Tells a Sensational Story to a Legislative Committee. Milwaukee, Wis.-The most sensational testimony which has been presented to the special insurance investigating committee of the Wisconsin legislature was given Wednesday when Insurance Commissioner Host, of the Wisconsin department of insurance, testified before the committee that on June 16, 1903, the day on which the hearing in the case of the state of Wisconsin against the Equitable Life Assurance Society for a compulsory distribution of the surplus of that company to Wisconsin policyholders was to be held by him, Secretary of State Walter L. Houser entered the insurance commissioner's office and said that if Mr. Host would render a decision in accordance with slip handed by him, Houser to Mr. Nichols would have been a decision favorable to the Equitable company, that the Equitable Life Assurance Society would give $2,000 toward a campaign fund for a renomination of the state officers in the next campaign. The slip which Commissioner Host testified Secretary of State Houser handed to him was presented to the commissioner and contained on it these words: "Petition is denied and same is dismissed for the reason that a determination of the subject thereof requires the exercise of a judicial function that cannot be performed. "It is further announced as a rule of this department that no similar proceedings be entertained until a final adjudication of the same is had in the courts of the state." Mr. Host testified that he told Houser that he would think the matter over. Host's decision was against the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which afterward took the case into the courts and obtained a rule adverse to Houser's order for a compulsory distribution of surplus on deferred dividend loans. Mr. Host also testified that Robert Luscombe, who for years represented insurance companies before various legislatures, telephoned to him three times between June 16 and July 31, 1903, and asked Host to explain the argument which would convince Host that the law in question was not compulsory. MEDALS AND MONEY. They are Awarded by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. Pittsburg, Pa.—Twenty-one awards of medals, and money were made by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission at its meeting Wednesday. It is expected the medals will be ready for the award about July 1. Among the awards are: To the widow of Michael Gismondi, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa., a silver medal and death benefits amounting to $000. Gismondi lost his life while trying to rescue a 14-year-old boy who was in an unfinished well in September, 1905. A silver medal and $1,200 to liquidate indebtedness on his property was awarded William Watkins, a coal miner of Edwardsville, Pa., for rescuing three miners from death by gas in an explosion in the Kingston Coal Mine, September 1904. A medal and a like sum for the same purpose was given Timothy E. Heagerty, a lake pilot of Ashtabula, O., who in April, 1905, rescued the captain and crew of the schooner Yukon in a gale on Lake Erie. A bronze medal and $500 was given Robert W. Simpson, the engineer of the tug of which Heagerty was pilot. This award is made in connection with the same rescue. Michael Sasso, the fireman, also of Ashtabula, is given a bronze medal and $500. George B. Williams, of Elizabeth, Pa., in October, 1904, lost his life in trying to rescue a man from electric cables which were burning him to death. Williams was knocked off a bridge and fractured his skull. A silver medal is awarded to him. Walter H. Murbach, of Elyria, O., for the rescue of a school boy from drowning. Harry E. Moore, a railroad conductor of Alliance, O., lost part of his arm in trying to rescue a man that had fallen asleep on the track and he was awarded a bronze medal and disability benefits of $500.

The Soil Must Be Moist and Contain a Considerable Percentage of Clay. The department of agriculture has in press a number of farmers' bulletins which should appeal to the farmer. One of these, which will be Farmers' Bulletin, No. 248, is written by L.C. Corbett, the horticulturist in charge of the Arlington experiment station, on "The Lawn." Mr. Corbett contends that the lawn is a signal of the inner soul of the householder, showing an appreciation of beautiful home surroundings. A lawn is the accomplishment of every effort on the part of man to beautify the surroundings of his abiding place. The great increase of interest in suburban and rural life has caused a corresponding increase of interest in matters pertaining to the making and maintenance of lawns. Suburban railroads, the extension of electric lines into the country and the return of man to natural ways of living are all features contributing to the growing interest in matters pertaining to lawn making. Mr. Corbett believes that a lawn should be beautiful and at the same time useful. Its beauty depends on the contour of the land, the color and texture of the grass, and the uniformity of the turf. The use of the lawn provides a suitable setting for architectural adornment and landscape, valuable The ideal soil for grasses best suited for lawn making is one which is moist and contains a considerable percentage of clay. A strong clayey loam or a sandy loam underlaid with a clay soil is undoubtedly the nearest approach to an ideal soil for a lawn. Since the lawn is a prominent feature it is hardly possible to make the soil for the lawn too rich. Stable manure posed and rotted and which is as free as possible from detrimental weed seeds is undoubtedly the best material to use in producing the desired fertility of the soil. After a lawn has been established and it has gone into winter quarters, it is well to give the young grass a mulch of well decomposed stable manure which shall not be heavy enough to disfigure or mar the lawn, but should be so fine and well decomposed that it will be carried beneath the surface of the grass by the rains and snows of winter, leaving very little rough or unsightly matter to be raked off in the spring.—Prairie Farmer. FOR BEAUTY OF THE EYES It was a matter of surprise to Emerson that the following little piece of advice by De Quincey should not have attracted more attention: "The depth and subtlety of the eyes varies exceedingly with the state of the stomach, and if young ladies were aware of the magical transformation which can be wrought in the depth and sweetness of the eye, by a few weeks' exercise, I fancy we should see their habits on this point altered greatly for the better." He then describes the effect of walking as he had noted it in the eyes of the poet Wordsworth. "I have," he says, "seen Wordsworth's eyes sometimes affected powerfully in this respect. His eyes are not under any circumstances bright, lustrous, or piercing, but after a long day's toil in walking, I have seen them assume an appearance the most solemn and spiritual that it is possible for the human eye to wear. The light which resides in them is at no time 'a superficial light, but, under favorable accidents, it is a light which seems to come from a depth below all depth; in fact, it is more entitled to be held 'the light that never was on land or sea'—a light radiating from some spiritual world, than any that can be named."—Good Health. Peanut Candy Two cups of New Orleans molasses. Two cups of soft A sugar. Six quarts of peanuts. Put the butter, sugar and molasses on together, adding the salt after it comes to a boil. Boil until it forms a soft ball in cold water, then take from the stove and beat vigorously ten minutes. Return to the stove and boil until a spoon drawn through it makes a slight path. Add the vanilla and heat again. When beginning to grow cold, stir in the peanuts and pour into buttered pans. Baked Rhubarb. Rhubarb is almost a specific for curing the various small indigestions that accompany the early spring season. And it is so much nicer when baked than stewed, although I usually say "stewed" as a breakfast dish. But if peeled, cut into inch bits and plenty of sugar sifted over, it is set in a rather cool oven and allowed to cook it will be found so much less trouble and more delicate. Stir once in a while with a silver fork, and do not add any water. When cold it may be serve! in patty shell or tarttails, in a bowl that has been lined with macarons or in pies. The Old Morning Glory The old-fashioned but ever popular morning glory still claims a prominent place as a quick-growing and beautiful vine for either foliage or flowers. Appearing every morning in all the richest shades of white, blue and red, often variegated and striped, the silky flowers add much to the beauty of the home and materially increase the charms of summer and autumn mornings. The morning glory has recently undergone some improvement at the hands of the professional florists, but it is an easily cultivated flower and should be a part of the floral display of every home. Present for a Baby's Basket You can make a very dainty little present for the baby's basket by taking ribbon an inch wide in pink or blue, and sewing it in four long loops, leaving enough ribbon at one end to form a rosette at the top. On each loop place a crocheted silk ring, about the size of a quarter, and attach to these rings safety pins of various sizes. This is easily made, inexpensive and always a welcome gift. Don't Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison."
