THE The Important Matter of Dress Pierre-Auguste Renoir (2) Princess robe of pale blue trimmed with raised embroideries in white silk. Artistic Wraps for Fall Wear The tailored coat and skirt in light weight cloths, mixtures, checks, stripes and plain goods will now have their innings. They will be the smartest form of street costume seen this fall. Such costumes depend entirely on their cut and finish for their beauty and smartness. For these costumes, when worn by the women of moderate means, the old-time favorite blue serge will be found exceedingly desirable. One recently seen had a short, walking skirt, having a four-inch hem, and three inches apart—the first one three inches above it—two three-inch tucks. The skirt itself was a modified circular, close at the top. Down the center front was a tapering box plait four inches wide at the belt, by eight at the bottom, the plait taking in the tucked section. Across this plait were loops of blue silk braid, the braiding beamed quite like a cord. The Eton coat was close around the waist line, having a pointed double-breasted waistcoat of tan-colored cloth, closed by loops of the blue cord, and edged at the top and bottom by several rows of the braid close together. This waistcoat pointed down a bit below the belt. The belt also tapered down in a point in the front, and up to the sides, where it was quite narrow, and the narrow width continued around the back. It was made of the blue braid set so closely together that it concealed the foundation. This belt was attached to the coat. There were serge revers turned back from the cloth vest, the widest part of the rev- There seems little doubt now that the ideas embodied in the artistic wraps so popular during the summer time will find further expression in carriage and evening cloaks to be worn during the fall and winter. Cloth, velvet and silk suitable for fall and winter wear are all now made in such soft and supple guise that they lend themselves readily to drapery and ample folds, and fur will but add richness to the models. For that matter, even sheer materials, such as crepe and mousseline and lace, are nowadays pressed into service for winter evening coats, and almost any one of the exquisite summer cloaks, save those of linen, might very well be copied for winter wear. For daytime use the picturesque, voluminous cloaks in which the clic Parisians have revealed this summer appeal to but a small class. They belong to the women of luxurious carriages, of the dainty salons, of the innumerable trocks and hats and wraps, and they are appropriate only in such a rich setting. The woman who walks, who rides on street cars, who climbs elevated road steps, who has few costumes, need not concern herself with Restoration and Louis XVI, and Egyptian wraps in planning her day-time toilers, but even she may give herself over to picturesque in the matter of an evening coat, and to-day any woman who makes even the smallest pretensions to being well dressed has her evening coat. Surely never were materials better adapted to the purpose of that same evening coat than are the fabrics of to-day. The silks and velvets have lost their stiffness, while losing none of their richness and beauty, and lend themselves readily to every trick of drapery and graceful line. The erstwhile stiff and uncompromising broadcloth has become as supple as crepe, almost as lustrous. And behind these heavier coat materials is the bust of soft shimmering silken stuffs included in the list In Union There Is Strength. ers being a little above the waist line; from that point they slanted down abruptly to the belt. The sleeves were full coat sleeves, ending a little below the elbows and having two velvet points overlapping each for cuffs. A gorgeous dinner gown in pale pink chiffon taffeta has lengthwise stripes of pink roses. These stripes are strips of satin ribbon set on, and they show half blown roses and buds in various shades of pink. It is an Empire robe, the slight slanting, in at the waist line being attained by box plains in the soft chiffon taffeta that flare as they descend, ending at the knees. The top of the robe has its neck cut square. Bands of white lace go over the shoulders near the thaoat and extend to the bust line, and between them, in both the front and the back, are squares—not squares, for they are two inches longer than they are broad—of lengthwise tucked yellow chiffon, having three white lace insertions, and wider insertion at the top as a finish. The sleeves are knife-plaited flounces of pink chiffon that begin at the lace bands going over the shoulders and end several inches below the curve of the shoulders, edged with white lace ruffles. These sleeves are cut to taper down to the center bust line, where the white lace straps to which they are attached end, and the under part is turned back and forms a drooping point across the side of the bust that extends to the underarm seam. of evening coat materials. Surely the designer of such coats has his opportunity now, and as surely he is improving that opportunity. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906. Prominent Speakers and Persons in Attendance—Appointments North Ohio Conference Wednesday's sessions were characterized by Bishop Derrick's strong address and the introduction of many prominent men and women to the conference, among the number belg. Rev W. H. Hurd and Rev. R. D. Stinson, of Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop C. S. Smith, of Detroit; Dr. W. D. Chappelle, of Nashville; Mrs. Ruth A. Derrick, of Philadelphia; Mrs. W. B. Derrick, of W. Thomas, Rev. C. S. Gee, of Cincinnati, and Rev. G. A. Hay, of New York. Among the many other good things the bishop said was the following: Advice to the Young Men of the Races "I would advise you to a more diversified industry, as your chances are superior to those of the fathers. You must not continue to be menials—I would not have you misconstrue my meaning, for any kind of labor honestly performed is considered by intelligent people to be honorable. Yet, the Irish and Italianus and other honestly performed men should our shores, were, and are still considered dangerous and coarse classes, so long as the bulk of them remain street sweepers and diggers of ditches. While so employed, they never receive that recognition that is accorded to the more enlightened classes, who are members of the commercial and business interests of the country. So will it be with you, young men. To accomplish this you must find employment. You must make business. For just as long as you are willing to live from the street sweepers, you shall be inferior. You must become acquainted with the mechanism and handicrafts of the day. You must discountance the haphazard or unsteady methods, such as often accompany a disposition to crowd into the larger cities and pick up an uncertain livelihood. This line of conduct must ultimately lead to want and shame, as there is nothing which so forms industrial and regular habits as fixed occupation. You must cultivate promptness, punctuality, strenuous effort, quickness of motion. These traits must be encouraged if you hope to succeed. You must acquire a character for steady industry, for fidelity to engagements, for alertness of movement and for ability in permanent trades and occupations." Thursday the financial reports of the Cleveland and Springfield districts were read and a decided financial increase shown over that of last year. A gratifying growth was also shown in the spiritual work. In the evening an educational meeting was held. Rev. V. L. Masonon, of Morris Brown college, and Professor of the Wilberforce university being the speakers, and Rev. Dr. Charles Bundy, of Cleveland, P. E., presiding. Friday morning the session was taken up entirely in the submitting of the various financial reports of the different charges to the business committees. They showed a nice increase over those of last year. Mrs. Henry Linden gave an address in the afternoon on the condition and future of the Central Y. M. C. A. The missionary society of the conference held a meeting the evening. Saturday used close up the routine work of the conference. In the evening from 6:30 to 10 p. m. the Central Y. M. C. A. gave a reception to it. During the day, in spite of a drizzling rain, an emancipation celebration was held by the citizens. Prof. GAZETTE. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury, was the principal speaker and uniformed Knights of Pythias participated in the parade.

Other speakers were Senator Hypes (white), F. D. Patterson, of Greenfield, and M. H. Jones, esq. of Dayton. The case of Rev. Luke White, of Urbana, brought to the attention of the conference by his presiding elder, was referred to a committee of five for a thorough investigation after the courts have decided the case now pending. This was proper. Great crowds attended the conference sessions. Sunday evening conference closed. The appointments of ministers for the various churches in the conference was held.

The Real Warriors of that Country, and Cause of the Present Conflict. Columbus, O,—Speaking of the Cuban-Spanish-American war, a writer in the Ohio State Journal of Sept. 23, said: "Most of the white officers of the Cuban army—and their name was legion—sat on the hotel pizzas at Tampa and Key West, twirled their sword canes and knives and looked prey at the white stock clothes. They were not of the same caliber as Gomez and Garcia and Mendez Capote, and if some one had asked them to "carry a message to Garcia" they would have murmured "manana," and gone to the siega. "While they were thus enjoying the sweets of life, Maceo, the Rabi brothers, the Guerras and scores of other colored Cubans were leading small bands in effective work all over the island, living on parched corn and cane, and eating the sweetest feast if they could bake a yam and grease it with axle grease or car oil, sleeping in the swamps and dying where the fever or a Spanish bullet found them. James Rabi, one of the few black Cuban Negroes in the army, shot through the lungs in a small fight, had his orderly place his head on a saddle on the ground, smoked cigarettes and watched the fight till the last Spaniard was killed or driven from the field, blew the last smoke into the room, and with the words: "It was a good fight" on his lips. I saw his bones there six weeks later, but some one had taken the saddle. "Naturally, men who could do things like this, seeing every day the men who did nothing to place and power, feel aggrieved. It is useless to dismiss the case with a contemptuous remark that their patriotism begins and ends at the pie counter. It doesn't fit the circumstances, and in the second place, it isn't true. And their desire is as laudable as that of the Grand Army man who seeks of fice under cover of the national, state or municipal enactment that, other things being equal, preference shall be given to the soldiers of the republic. And as for fitness, many of them are as fit as the white Cubans who hold the jobs. Titusville, Pa., Topics The W. W. society gave an elaborate luncheon at Mrs. J. Neal's in honor of Miss Hallel Q.

Editor Gomez is a resident of Havana and one of the seven members of the committee appointed by the liberals at a recent conference in Havana to represent the revolutionist in a "triangular" conference, in which Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, representing this country, and a committee representing the Cuban government (Press. Palma) are also to participate. Among the revolutionary generals to take part in the conference which selected the committee referred to above, was General Pino Guerra, one of the best fighters in the recent Cuban war for liberty. Both J. G. Gomez and Gen. Guerra are colored, representing nearly one-third of the population of the island. A GREAT CELEBRATION Splendid Attendance—The Program— A Strong Address Enthusiastically Received. Wheeling, W. Va.—The eighth annual emancipation celebration held at the state fair grounds on the island last week Friday attracted a large crowd both afternoon and evening. Every necessary arrangement for the pleasure and comfort of those in attendance had been carefully made under the supervision of Mr. Henry Allingsworth, president, and Wm. A. Turner, secretary, of the committee in charge. The speaker of the day, HON. HARRY C. SMITH. Hot. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, was met on his arrival at the depot and escorted to the grounds, a carriage being used as the conveyance, and Mr. Allingsworth and two beautiful ladies forming the escort. About 2:30 p. m., after a short introductory speech by Squire Norris, a prayer, the reading of Lincoln's immortal emancipation proclamation, and the rendition of several beautiful selections by the band, Mr. Norris, who was the presiding officer, introduced the speaker of the day, giving a brief sketch of his most creditable public career as a journalist and legislator. For nearly two hours Mr. Smith had the undivided attention of the audience, and assembled, giving a history of the emancipation, recounting the historical acts of our people on land and sea, in the Revolutionary war, that of 1812, war of the Rebellion, and in Cuba, Porta Rico and American war; mob dismused disfranchisement car law, spoke of the prominent men of the race at home and abroad, and concluded with a plain community to bear good audience applauding vigorously. Then followed a demonstration that was very one in the extreme. Nearly everyone in the crowd and shake the hand and congratulate him. It was several and enthusiastic sight. Several tournament races followed, the band furnishing plenty of music. The evening was devoted to promenading and dancing, the large pavilion on the grounds being packed until midnight. The leading orchestra of the city furnished music. In spite of the fact, that there were plenty of refreshments of all kinds on the grounds, all of which were sold, there was not the slightest disturbance of any kind. Everybody seemed happy, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Messrs. Allingsworth, Turner and their other associates in the management of the celebrities of every season to feel bound of it. Theyinnen had success in the face of opposition which was uncalled for Mr. Smith was the guest of Mrs. Lightfoot while in the city. Mrs. Nellie Jack on Jones of Cleveland, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Allingsworth. Mr. Smith left for home Saturday and Mrs. Jones returned Sunday.

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 Cleveland Daily Leader cartoons of Monday and Tuesday as well as its alleged editorial on the Atlanta butchery of the first of the week was an insult of decency. That was miserable treatment indeed accorded the National Negro Business Men's league attendants that left Washington, D. C., for Atlanta, Ga., on that "special" train. They were all nearly starved and subjected to insults and mistreatment, although guaranteed first class treatment by the Seaboard Air Line railroad officials, that almost "beggars discription." They have protested but that is all it will amount to. The money that "special" cost would almost secure a favorable decision from the United States supreme court as to their citizen rights as inter-state passengers on all railroads of the south which have separate cars or parts of cars as the result of "Jim Crow" car laws. When will our leading men stop dealing in "hot air" and "good times" and get down to business and determine their citizen rights, suffrage and on railroads in the south? DO SOMETHING. The National Negro Business Men's league spent thousands of dollars on railroads and hundreds in Atlanta, Ga., a few weeks ago, to meet in annual convention. The Niagara Movement did the same thing when it met at Harpers Ferry, Va., some weeks ago, and the National Afro-American council will do likewise in a few weeks when it also convenes in annual session at New York City or some other place. Speeches, addresses to the country, resolutions and social features characterized the two annual national meets referred to and will that of the council. Absolutely nothing of a practical nature to determine our rights as inter-state passengers on the railroads of southern states having "Jim Crow" car laws; or to wipe out disfranchisement in any state of the United States against mob violence, has been or will be done, although ten times the sum necessary to make such legal and other efforts have been and will be spent for railroad transportation, temporary local accommodations and social doings, by the attendants upon these national meets. How long are our leading intelligent men going to be leading intelligent men indicated? Are we to go on forever meeting in national convention, "resoluting, speaking to the country and indulging in hot air contests" while our citizen rights continue to be abridged, denied and taken away from us? Will Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business Men's league; Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois, leader of the Niagara Movement; Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Afro-American council, and our other leading men in the organizations named, ever stop and think, and get down to a practical working basis in the interest of their long and greatly suffering people? For God's and our people's sake, gentlemen, stop and think—then do something and cease saying so much. ATLANTA HUMILIATES AMERICA the shame of the Springfields, the shame of darkest Manhattan, the shame of wild and bloody Texas are small in comparison with the shame of Atlanta. One of the most modern and progressive cities of the south, famed for culture and refinement, has been degraded so low that the stain of barbarism will cling tenaciously for many a year. For wild fury and utterly heartless savagery Kishenef and Bialystok are nearly equally enlightened Atlanta. Because of the misdeeds of a quartet of Negro miscreants merciless mobs unhalted run their wild riot of murder. Negroes of every quality are torn from their homes, from their shops, from street cars and beaten to death. Inoffensive and industrious men and even women fall before the wrath of creatures that wander the garb and men, but who have lost all semblance of humankind. The police are "powerless." The governor tardily calls for militia, but the militia lags in responding. The community concludes at this carnival of most cruel laughter. Atlanta humiliates America. How can the great republic, the enlightened home of liberty and justice, raise now the voice of protest against the barbarities of the war and the Park—Cleveland Plain Dealer, Monday. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1906. The Atlanta slaughter is a very natural outcome and result of the inflammatory and contemptible campaign publications of the Hoke Smith contest for the democratic nomination for governor of Georgia. He promised disfranchisement of the Georgia Afro-American in event of his nomination which is equivalent to an election, and in doing this through the medium of his press and campaign document abuse of the Negro, he wrought up his adherents to such a state of ill-feeling for our people as to make easy such hellish and barbarous acts as characterized Atlanta the first of the week. We do not believe that "quartet of Negro miscreants" story sent out from Atlanta by the lying Associated Press representative as an excuse for the brutal and cold-blooded murder of more than a dozen Afro-American men, women and children, and for committing other barbarous acts in which our people were the victims. When the truth is finally known, we are satisfied that more than one-yealous Hoke Smith adherent—and they were all "whites" of course—will be found to have been "blackened up" and members of that so-called "quartet of Negro miscreants." Atlanta is a horrible butchery of innocents absolutely without cause and for which a just God will surely punish her. Meantime, let us enlist the sympathy and assistance of President Roosevelt. Surely he will take even more interest in our effort to secure the conviction and punishment of the guilty Georgia barbarians than he did in the American Jews' protest to the Russian Czar as the result of the Kisheren butchery, because those were American citizens who were killed at Atlanta, and they were butchered on American soil! Perhaps among the dead are those who were in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and helped save Col. Roosevelt and those left of his "Rough Rider" regiment after a certain memorable occasion in which they were pitted against Spaniards and at a great disadvantage too. The Busy Little Bee. The commercial statistics bearing upon the subject eloquently answer the question: "How doth the little busy bee improve each shining hour?" She improves them, early and late, in garnering the sweets of buds and flowers, and the sum total of her garnering, it is evident, forms no mean item in the world's affairs. Germany leads with 1,910,000 hives and 20,000 tons of honey last year. Spain is a good second, with 1,690,000 hives and 19,000 tons of honey. Austria-Hungary comes close thereafter with 1,550,000 hives and 18,000 tons of unadulterated sweetness. France supplies 10,000 tons, and Russian bees are credited with 900 tons. The last prompts the thought that if only political hornets were hofey gatherers, etc., etc. Despite the "lapse of centuries the historic "honey of Mount Hymettus," celebrated in Grecian lore, is still on the market of to-day and from 30,000 bee hives Greece produced last year, 1,400 tons of honey. Statistics bearing upon the industry of our own bees have not yet been published, says the Troy Times, but it is gratifying to obtain the advance information that the bee industry is growing here and we have as good "pasturage" for these personifications of industry as any country known. The Thought of Yosemite. The god of things as they should be meant that his worshipers—whose lives are spent in the pursuit of a lost chord, a missing harmony between themselves and things not themselves—should contemplate Yosemite from the standpoint of its meadows, says Arthur Colton, in The Reader. Its spirit is defined, human, sufficient, sheltered from high, desolate and Sierran ambitions. The thought of the Canyon of the Colorado is compact of color and immensity; that of Yosemite is not of size, but of proportion and charm—white water gliding in the shadow, still water reflecting blue; of groves and many colored flowers in level fields; and the right relation of all these to the smooth gray domes, and those framing walls, whose height is not for terror, but to make the pines that feather their keen edges look delicate as ferns. This is to be a great year for fruit as well as for grain. To the big crops of corn, wheat, hay, oats, and the like is to be added a large yield of apples, pears, grapes and other products. The area in western New York where apple growing and grape growing are specialities reports a successful season. The same story comes from many other regions. Missouri, a noted apple state, will have the largest crop in its history. From its 25,000,000 trees Missouri expects to get a yield worth at least $10,000,000. This is indicative of the general situation. And the peach crop was never more satisfactory than this year. Nature has dealt out favors with a lavish hand. The Lady, an English periodical, says woman's admiration for the man with the clean-shaven face is waning and that, therefore, the return of the mustache is imminent. This will be good news to the man who has no teeth in front. One of New York's loveliest and most aristocratic heiresses is to become the bride of a newspaper man. Titled foreigners will regard this as another aggravating piece of affrontery on the part of the press.

It is declared on very high authority that American intervention in Cuba is certain. Furthermore it is expected that the proclamation for intervention will be issued from Oyster Bay. Peace for Cuba unless accomplished through American intervention, seems to be further away than when Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon began negotiations to harmonize the opposing factions. Gov. Nunez, of Havana province, appealed to Secretary Taft for aid of United States troops to suppress the present insurrection in Cuba. He admitted to the secretary of war that in no other way could the rebellion be crushed.

Read The Alpha's advert elsewhere in this paper and encourage Mr. Williams with a liberal patronage. Last Sunday's Leader contained a ghost story from New Orleans which was most conspicuous because of its frequent use of the mongrel terms "darkey" and "nigger", while Monday morning's issue of the same paper contained a picture showing an Atlanta, Ga., mob of white brutes pursuing and beating to death innocent Afro-Americans. The ordinances of the city of Cleveland ought to make such publications as that of Monday morning a criminal offense, because they do nothing but harm, in that they incite the malicious and ignorant riff raff of the community to similar brutal deeds. In giving space to such pictures and publications the management of the Leader indicates the possession of brutal instincts that are on a par with those shown in Atlanta by mobs the first of the week. Attorney Love, of Fremont, who defended Kimbro, one of the three young men of the race, (Martin, Stratton and Kimbro) who were charged with the murder of one of the mob that attacked them during the Claus Shear strike, about two years ago, was in the city last week and called on The Gazette. It will be remembered that Martin, the first one sentenced to a long term in the penitentiary and that Kimbro was the second to be put on trial, his case coming up the past summer. It resulted in his conviction and sentence to the penitentiary. Attorney Love appealed the case to the higher court with the result that his position in favor of Kimbro was sustained and the latter ordered liberated from the penitentiary. He is now in Xenia with his father. An appeal for the liberation of Martin, which is predicated upon the same higher court decision which secured Kimbro's freedom, is pending and will, before long, result favorably. After the Kimbro trial the case of Stratton was nolled, thus insuring to him his continued liberty. For the final favorable outcome in all three cases Attorney Love is entitled by the court to have $55, of the court. He told Tracie Gazeen that when every cent he had received for his long and trying labor in Kimbro's behalf was $55, the father paid. That did not cover the expenses incurred, to say nothing of his fees. Kimbro is at liberty hearty and able. Then too, he has brothers who are in good health and able. They ought to see to it that Attorney Love is paid, and handsomely too, for the splendid service he has rendered. He was practically the only white attorney in Fremont who would undertake the boy's defense and certainly is entitled to good pay from the Kimbros for faithful service rendered.

Philadelphia, Pa. — The "stay-at-homes" of the Athletics, when the team went west, went to Atlantic City and arranged with the Brooklyn Giants to play a series of five games, the winners of the series to take all the money. The Athletic players saw in this a bunch of "easy money." They played the five games to crowds of about 2,000 daily. The Afro-Americans won the first game, the Athletics the second and the Giants the balance while the Athletics' dream of easy money vanished. The Athletic players it is said walked the ties back to Philadelphia. They depended upon the income from the series to have a big time, but when the amateur team won the series, the professionals were left stranded. W. D.

It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER, and enclose this advertisement. We will also send one nickel plated in a new top plated in a metal puncture closer on the paid orders (these metals are more costless to be used in case of intentional knife cuts or heavy gash). Tires to be returned at OUR expense if for any reason they are not satisfactory on examination. We are perfectly reliable and money sent to us is as safe as in a bank. Ask your Postmaster Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these items, you will not be required to return the postmaster.

Dear Sir: — I was a terrible sufferer from pelvic weakness and had headache continuously. I was not able to do my housework for myself and husband. I wrote you and described my condition and mentioned Peruna. I took four bottles of it and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine and have recommended it to my friends with the very best of results. Either M. Milner. Very few of the great multitude of women who have been relieved of some pelvic disease or weakness by Peruna ever consent to give a testimonial to be read by the public. There are, however, a few courageous, self-sacrificing women who will for the sake of their sisters allow their cures to be published. Mrs. Milner is one of these. In her gratitude for her restoration to health A GRADEFUL LETTER TO DR. HARTMAN she is willing that the women of the whole world should know it. A chronic invalid brought to health is no small matter. Words are inadequate to express complete gratitude. Plans Monument to Negro Poet. The Rev. Dr. David W. Clark, of Cincinnati, is making an effort to secure sufficient money to erect a monument over the grave of the late negro poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. Mr. Clark's father was a slaveholder, but he says "the man who wrote 'When Mandy Sing' and 'When the Corn Pone Is Hot' deserves a monument."

Many tourists in Switzerland were astonished this summer to see villages in the Rhone valley, near Brigue, which looked as if they had been bombarded. On inquiry they found that the demolished houses were mostly temporary boarding places for the Italian laborers who made the Simplon tunnel. After their departure these houses were offered for sale at $50 each—not, of course, including the ground on which they stood. Practiced What He Preached. Rev. Denis P. O'Flynn, of New York city, used to say that priests ought to die poor and he practiced what he preached. Aside from a valuable library given to the Paulist fathers he has left no discoverable estate—no money in bank, no money in the rectory. "He died as poor as the proverbial church mouse," says his assistant, Father Corrigan. "What little insurance he carried will barely cover the funeral expenses. He never saved a penny for himself. After keeping the house on his meager salary he gave away all he had."

HE IS A MIGHTY HUNTER OF GAME ANIMALS. Never Reaches the Size of a Wolf and Is of Peculiar Shape—To Be Found All Over Asia. The red dog never reaches the size of a wolf, though it exceeds that of a jackal, says the Saratoga Review. Its shape is uncouth, the body narrow and low in the forequarters, with loose limbs ending in large awkward paws, the head and brush carried low. The head, remarkable for the large blunt furry ears, is intermediate between the dovecrie dog and fox, without the honest look of the one of the quick-witted sharpness of the other. Against these disadvantages the bright chest-hue of the wild dog's coat, shading into black at the end of the brush, does not avail for handsomeness. Over most of India it is to be found, on mountains and plains, in forest, where forest grows and about the bare slopes where the hills have not vegetation. East of India, a very similar bark ranges even to Java, and another, paler and shaggy, haunts of Silberia and Sakhalin, so that over most of Asia one form or other is to be reckoned with. Naturally the Indian species is the most known, yet it is not known at all intimately, for though so wildly spread it is not a common animal and the field naturalists of India have little to say of it. But it is clear that the red dog is a very different animal from the wolf and far superior to any other eastern canine. Most of the wild relatives of our dogs are cowardly beasts, feeding on carrion and small animals and only attacking large ones when hard pushed by hunger. Such is the wolf's way of life, while the jackal skuks round villages and sometimes enters large towns in search of scraps, making night hideous with his howls, even in Calcutta. But the red dog is a true hunter, the deadliest foe to the game animals that is known in the east. He is not very swift—less so than the jackal—nor is he adroit to graceful in his actions, but he follows the scent mostly in silence, with a deadly persistence, and however long the trail may be the pack runs into their victim without fall in the end. They do not go in large numbers—a dozen would be a big pack—but what they want in force is replaced by their courage and cunning strategy in attack. Their ordinary prey is the powerful sambur deer and the beautiful spotted axis, corresponding to our red deer and fallow deer, the various antelopes of the plains and wild goats of the hills. All of these they harry in turn for a few days, then the terrified beasts forsake that section of the jungle and the red pack must range far afield again, not to return till long after, when the terror of their raid has subsided in the locality. Their methods of attack are terrible in the extreme; some of their devices, indeed, can hardly be mentioned here. Suffice it to say that their ordinary plan, whenever possible, is to disembowl the victim. Deer are not the only prey on which these terrible creatures adventure; the biggest horns known of the gaur (bos gaurus) came from one said to have been killed by wild dogs, of the Burmese race in this case; and yet this gaur, the largest of all wild oxen, is too much for the ordinary tiger; and the tiger often falls with the bear, the most gallant of all wild animals, but the red pack will bring him to his end. Their fellow carnivores even are not safe. The black bear of the Himalayas, although the fiercest of Italian bears, has been seen in his last struggle with the pack, with torn coat and flesh in strips, fighting game-ly still. Chinese Are Workers. Everybody in China works hard, even those who have reached the highest positions. It is related of a member of the Chinese cabinet that he left home every morning at two o'clock as he was in duty at the palace from three to six. As a member of the privy council he was engaged from six to nine. From nine until eleven he was at the war department, of which he was president. As the member of the board of punishment he was in attendance from 12 till two and as a member of the foreign office he spent every day from two till five or six there. In addition he frequently served on special boards or commissions. A Big Cruiser. The armored cruiser Washington, which has been formally accepted by the government, has 14,500 tons displacement, with a speed of 22 knots and a main battery of four ten-inch guns and 16 six-inch rapid rifle fires. She also has ample coal capacity, and a fair amount of armor protection. Her battery verges on that of the battleship class and her speed would enable her to accept or see combat as her commander might see fit. Mrs. Jones—That lamb you sent me was the largest and toughest mutton I ever saw. Mr. Suet—Ah, mum, it's that boy of mine been loitering again. It was the sweetest little leg of lamb you ever saw when it left my shop, and I gave him strict orders to deliver it at once as you wanted it young. DOGTOR DESPAIRED Anamiee Woman Cured by Dr. William Sullivan in the South of the Pulaski in All Others Woman Sutter Anemia is just the doctor's name for bloodlessness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anemia as food cures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thomas J. McGaun, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. J., who says: "In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning and soon afterward I began to have the most terrible headaches. My heart would beat so irregularly that it was painful and there came a morning when I could not get up. My doctor said I had anemia and he was surprised that I had continued to live in the condition I was in. I was confined to my bed for nearly two months, the doctor coming every day for the first few weeks, but I did not improve to amount to anything. Altogether I was sick for nearly two years. I was as weak as a rag, had headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of appetite, cramps in the limbs and was unable to get a good night's sleep. My legs and feet were so swollen that I feared they would burst. "Before very long after I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I felt a change for the better. I have taken about twelve boxes and although I was near the grave as could be, I now feel as if I had a new lease of life. I have no more headaches, the heart beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and I feel ten years younger. I feel that I have been cured very cheaply and I have recommended the pills to lots of my friends." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail on receipt of price. 60 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

School for Policeman There is a policemen's college in St. Petersburg to train applicants for the force. It consists of a museum combined with the school, where the pupils make themselves familiar with the tools of criminals—jemmies, drills, chisels and contrivances for robbing collection boxes, a special, field of Russian thieves. The Russian passport system is studied in detail. The duties of the dvorniks, a sort of assistant police are taught. They keep watch on the residences, report on the habits of tenants, their visitors, examine the papers of new-comers, and direct them to report themselves at the police station. Hunters Mauled by Lioness. A fight between two hunters and an infuriated lioness is reported from British East Africa. Messrs. Lucas and Goldfinch left Natrobl on a shooting expedition, and when five miles from the town the lioness was observed. While the men stood at the edge of the thicket the brute pounced on Mr. Goldfinch and threw him to the ground. It bit him on the thigh before Mr. Lucas lodged a bullet in its neck. Maddened by the wound, the animal turned its attention to Mr. Lucas, whose horse it felled and then plinned the rider to the ground, inflicting lacerations on his face and biting his right arm. He was saved by Mr. Goldfinch, who, sitting up, rolled the lioness over with a well-aimed shot. The beast was about to spring on its victim again when another discharge from the same weapon proved fatal. The wounded men were taken back to town, where they received medical aid. THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitions but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish her the peace of health. "From infancy" she says, "I have not been strong. Being ambitions to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous prostration and hysteria. "My food did not agree with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines. "This wretched condition continued until I was twenty-five, when I became interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were being cured by eating Grape-Nuts. "I had little faith, but procured a box and after the first dish I experienced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and rested better that night and in a few days began to grow stronger. "I had a new feeling of peace and restfulness. In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headaches and nervousness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studies and later taught ten months with ease—of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I began to use Grape-Nuts, I am the mistress of a happy home and the old weakness has never returned." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

WHY SHE DIDN'T WIN. They were at Monte Carlo, and, like other visitors to that insidious paradise, they considered the Casino a place which ought to be visited. They stood hesitatingly before one of the tables, and at last the temptation to join the players proved too strong for the lady. "I must just risk one £10 note," she said to her husband. "Give me one, darling, and I will put it on the number of my age. That will be lucky." Hubby was inclined to be skeptical; but he might have spared himself the trouble of grumbling, and the £10 note was duly deposited on No. 24. Alas! No. 36 proved to be the winning numeral, and the lady gave a gasp of despair. "Serve you right," said her husband. "If you'd told the truth you'd have won." Turkish Idea of Pure Water. "Turks are extremely particular," writes a traveler, "in regard to the quality of the water they drink, and are willing to be at much trouble and expense to obtain water of the kind they prefer. To be a perfect beverage, water must issue from a rock, fall from a height, be of medium temperature, flow rapidly and copiously, taste sweet, spring in high and lonely ground, and run from south to north, or from east to west. The excellence of any water is accordingly determined by the number of these conditions it fulfills." A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. Burning Off Paint Makes Insurance Void. It seems that considerable danger to property exists in the practice of burning off old paint before re-painting. The question has long been a subject of debate in the technical journals, and now houseloaders and the newspapers have begun to discuss it. Those of us who, with trembling, have watched the painters blow a fiery blast from their lamps against our houses, and have looked sadly at the size of our painting bill because of the time wasted on this preliminary work, are interested in the investigation by the Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette and Courier, which gives considerable space to the reasons for the practice, questions its necessity and suggests ways to prevent the risk of burning down one's house in order to get the old paint off. It says: "There is a good deal of discussion among householders as to the desirability, in painting houses, of burning off the old paint, a practice that has grown very common of late in Greenfield and elsewhere. Insurance men are strongly opposed to this method. It makes void insurance policies for fires caused in this manner. Several houses in Greenfield have gotten alfre as the result of this method, and in some places houses have burned as a result. "It is undoubtedly true that when a house has been painted over and over again there comes to be an accumulation of paint in bunches. If new paint is put on top of these accumulations it is almost sure to blister. To burn it off is the quickest and cheapest and perhaps the surest method of getting rid of this old paint." The Gazette and Courier quotes certain old patrons to the effect that accumulations of paint are unnecessary. These old-timers lay the blame partly on the painter who fails to brush his paint in well, partly on the custom of painting in damp weather or not allowing sufficient time for drying between coats, and partly to the use of adulterated paints instead of old-fashioned linseed oil and pure white lead. The paper says: "Many of the old householders say that if care is taken at all these points it is absolutely unnecessary to have paint burned off. They advise that people who have houses painted should buy their own materials, and to have them put on by the day, so as to be sure to get good lead and oil. Of course the burning off of paint greatly increases the cost of the job." The trouble householders everywhere have with paint is pretty well summed up by our contemporary, and the causes are about the same everywhere. By far the most frequent cause of the necessity for the dangerous practice of burning old paint is the use of poor material. The oil should be pure linseed and the white lead should be real white lead. The latter is more often tampered with than the oil. Earthy substances, and pulverized rock and quartz, are frequently used as cheapeners, to the great detriment of the paint. Painters rarely adulterate white lead themselves and they very seldom use ready prepared paints—the most frequent causes of paint trouble. But they do often buy adulterated white lead because the property owner insists on a low price and the painter has to economize somewhere. The suggestion is therefore a good one that the property owner investigate the subject a little, find out the name of some reliable brand of white lead, and see that the keg is marked with that brand. The linseed oil is more difficult to be sure of, as it is usually sold in bulk when the quantity is small; but reliable makers of linseed oil can be learned on inquiry, and, if your dealer is reliable, you will get what you want. Pure white lead and linseed oil are so necessary to good paint that the little trouble necessary to get them well repays the house owner in dollars and cents saved. Proved Effectual It is 900 years since the failure of a bank in China. On the last occasion when such an event happened, the emperor had the failure investigated, and found it had been due to reckless conduct on the part of the directors. He at once issued an edict that, the next time a bank failed, the heads of its president and directors were to be cut off. This edict, which has never been revoked, has made China's banking institutions the safest in the world. WORST FORM OF ECZEMA Black Spotches All Over Face—Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever—Cured by the Cuticura Remedies. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. Finally my husband purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well. Lizzle E. Sledge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma, Ala., Oct. 28, 1905."

Tired, Nervous Mothers Make Unhappy Homes—Their Condition Irritates Both Husband and Children—How Thousands of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and Made Strong and Well. Mrs. Chester Curry Mrs. Chas. F. Brown Ask Mrs. Pinkham's Advice-A Woman Best Understands a Woman's Ills. A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysteresis, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mother is due to the fact that the mother has female fitness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nineteenth of the nervous prostration, nervousness, and nervousness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel lively? Do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders; bearing-down and almost continually cross and snamp? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostration than a table Compound; thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact.

The New State of Oklahoma Bigger than Missouri; as big as Ohio and Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with all the crops that any State raises, OKLAHOMA—the new State—is destined to occupy first rank in a few short years. Here at the present time over a million people are duplicating the life which is going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their houses, their towns and their schools are newer but in nothing else do their surplus crops grow. Their cities and towns are growing and expanding with the impetus of a fertile soil, and a pushing, wide-awake citizenship. Her settlers, mainly from the older States, see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of every kind and the needfulness of getting more and better facilities; of getting more hands to develop the country. In brief, conditions to-day are simply the same. OKLAHOMA is in need of save plants, more farmers in the cities and towns; more farmers for the vast areas of unimproved land not now yielding crops of which it is capable. There are openings of all sorts, for farmers and artisans, for mills and manufacturing plants, for small stores of all kinds.
