THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 10. THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Attractive Tennis and Golf Costumes. Woman's interest and participation in outdoor life and gowns are becoming more and more general, and golf and tennis promise to occupy the young woman's leisure time during the next two months quite exclusively. And every woman who thus indulges desires to play in good form, which term applies more strictly to the costume worn when playing than to the kind of game put up. Unless she has the golfing costume and the tennis gown, just as she has had her yachting dress, and her mountain togs during the summer, she is not apt to find much pleasure in the game. But after all it is not so much the dictates of fashion as the greater comfort and ease gained which impels the woman who indulges in these healthful sports to dress in specially designed costumes. The golf player is bound, and most wisely, by the convention of simplicity, scarcely dare she even take unto herself the light charms of linen, the exigencies of the wind pointing that the way of wisdom lies with serge or tweed. It is some time since the scarlet coat was looked upon as an essential complement to the skilful use of the club or niblick, and although there are a few who hold fast by its becoming and significant influence, the majority is no longer bound by its charms, and the herring-bone serge or the homespun tweed are the most usually favored. An excellent material for the golf links is flannel, and the jatest patterns of these include a variety of black and white stripe, and of brown and white stripe, which latter, when allied to a brown hat and leather belt, would have much to commend it; indeed, it would be hard to beat, and I can picture it well crowned with a panama encircled by a brown gaze scarf with very short ends, or a small toque of brown chip trimmed with ribbons, or the ever-popular tam-o-shanter, or set jauftily upon a bandeau of brown ribbon tied into a bow at one side. The golfer may also take unto herself the satisfaction of a short tweed The Popularity of Black Evening Gowns The Popularity of Black Evening Gowns The black evening gown is always considered useful, in fact they are almost essential to complete the wardrobe of a woman who goes out a great deal. Yet spangled tulle gowns are Effective Costume of Crepe de Chine and Courtauld's Crape. always stylish and becoming, and were never more fashionable than at present, while even women who are wearing light mourning have an opportunity to wear evening gowns made of Chantilly or Brussels net and trimmed with bands of taffeta silk or crape. If skirt and linen coat; so that the armholes be of wide dimensions to allow perfectly free play comfort should wait upon such a costume. A white serge skirt with a butcher blue linen coat I have seen bearing facings of white serge, and crowned with a French sailor hat tied with black ribbon, but perhaps a better effect is gained by the reversal of this order of affairs—the linen skirt and material jacket. A white linen skirt of heavy duck should be chosen by the golfer, and a brightly colored cloth coat, or a fan net coat in black and white strip, looks nice with a linen skirt, and the addition of some brass buttons on the sleeves and down the front. A bright shade of green cloth has charms with brass buttons and a white skirt, and the shirt beneath should be of fine Irish linen, bearing no decoration but hem-stitched tucks, a turn-down collar and a smartly cravat. The tennis player, if she be serious in her labors, dare not concern herself with any details of costume; she must only consider that her belt and her skirt cannot, under any circumstances of the most strenuous exercise, part company, that her hat or cap will remain faithful to her head, and unobtrusive in its brim, that the cuffs and collar-band to her shirt are not likely to be an impediment to her most active movements. Furthermore, she should wear a petticoat with no pendant lace frill, and should be assured generally of her complete comfort. White linen and thin white flannel are the ideal materials, and personally I would eschew the elbow sleeve, but then there is no costume in which I really find this an essential, discovering always and always that the more I meet it the less I like it. But before leaving the subject of tennis players, I would urge that they carry a convenient pocket in their skirts, and supply themselves with a thin light coat there is nothing better than white serge or homespun, and since the like may be secured for something under a sovereign and upwards, it is within the possibilities of most of us. a woman is in very deep mourning she will select an all black lace gown worn over black, which always suggests mourning. An all black lace gown may be relieved by some touches of jet and black velvet ribbon. This produces a charming effect, and may be made more becoming by the use of white lace or bows of colored velvet at the wrists. It is fashionable this season to wear thin black gowns over colored linings and over white or any light shade. This lining makes the design of the lace show off very effectively. Black lace gowns trimmed with white lace appliqued on the black net are sufficiently new in design to be attractive. While quiet gowns are more suitable for older women, they can be given a youthful touch by the introduction of some color in the waist. Bands of jet, not the old-fashioned heavy passementerie, but a much lighter sort of trimming, that looks as though it were embroidered on to the gown itself, is liked for trimming such gowns.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1906. OF POPULAR FEELING IS DOWNWARD AS FAR AS THE AFRO-AMERICAN IS CONCERNED. HOW TO CHANGE PRESENT CONDITIONS—TO GAIN FRIENDSHIP AND ACTIVE SUPPORT, ETC. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: You have noticed, perhaps, nay, more, you are even now noticing that the trend of popular feeling towards our class of American citizens is rapidly downwards; to such a degree, indeed, that in the south the colored man is no longer regarded as "a man and a brother." On the contrary, he is, generally, treated as being half human, half beast, is deprived of rights of citizenship, prohibited from voting, excluded from juries, tabooed as to public places of accommodation and unimposed harden in separate cars, and in some portions of the society even refused adequate educational facilities, on the ground that he is not a taxpayer, notwithstanding that he is the chief laborer in the field and is largely the producer of the enormous crops of cotton and tobacco which are now enricting the white people there. HON. JOHN P. GREEN. The foregoing being true, it need occasion no surprise to learn that everywhere, both in the United States and "within the sphere of her influence," colored troops are looked at askance and in some portions of the south insulted and assaulted. You will recall that at a time during the first days of the great rebellion to destroy our Union, white soldiers, wearing the Union blue, were similarly assaulted by the rabble (?) in the streets of Baltimore and ruthlessly shot down. I wonder does an imposing monument stand on the spot where they fell, those white sons of Massachusetts, a silent witness to the memory of those martyrs whose patriotic blood stained the stones on which they lay! It is no wonder that the sight of brave Negro troops in blue makes the gorge of the average southern rise, for they have not yet forgotten, nor will they ever forget that 200,000 of them helped to whip into submission the vaunting legions of "Dixie," who were for five years arrayed in arms against the constituted authorities of the republic which stands to-day conscious of its might in spite of them. The most important question confronting the colored people of the United States to-day is how to change conditions for the better; how to ameliorate the condition of the Colored-American. There are a few propositions having almost axiomatic force which, I believe, thoughtful men of both races will concede. a—The numerical proportions of the respective races in this country are about as eight to one in favor of the white man. b—The powers of the country of an intellectual and financial nature are largely with the white race. c—As a sine qua non of development along the lines of moral, intellectual and financial power, the Negro needs the friendship and encouragement of the white man. d—Therefore, to succeed in the solution of the so-called race problem (which is nothing more than the establishing of harmonious relations between the two races), the Negro must gain the confidence, respect and support of at least a considerable faction of the white people of this country, both north and south. It being conceded that numerically the Negro is in the minority here, as one is to eight, and that well nigh all the available power and resources of the land are possessed by the white man, it is easily evident to the most casual observer that physicist opposition on the part of the weaker man is utterly impracticable and entirely out of question, not to be considered for a moment. All the army, navy, forts and munitions of war are in the control of the white man. Even dynamite, that all potent leveler of the weak and the strong, which is being used with such horrid and telling effect by the revolutionists of Russia, is mewed up in the custody of the majority. The railroads, ships and shipping, canals and every other means of transportation are all in the hands of that same faction. Mines and mining, banks and banking, all the silver and gold, all the foreign credits, nearly all the harvests in field and barn and the "cattle upon a thousand hills," all belong to the elder brother. Moreover, they have GAZETTE. the esprit du corps, the corporate or aggregate pride, so that they act as one nicely adjusted machine, white we colored people are weakened by petty jealousies and a lack of accord in whatever we attempt to do. We are terribly handicapped, too, by the fact that in dealing with us the white citizen has departed from the fundamental idea and theory of a republican form of government and society, and whereas they live and thrive on an individual basis (which underlies every democracy) while all doors are open to every worthy white man along every avenue of life and endeavor, yet the colored citizen (?) is governed and ruled by the standard prevailing under a monarchial form of government, as in England, Germany or Russia, and is subjected to class rule and distinctions, and the same ambitions or merits, must wear the same mark and suffer death if he dares to venture beyond the dead line drawn for his whole class. A knowledge of these facts is well nigh fatal to the aspirations of the ambitious, energetic colored youth, for he knows that every discrimination which confronts an unworthy member of the race must be shared and endured by the most worthy. If the schools are closed against one, all must equally be herded together; if the cars are "jim-crowed" because of the lewd, bolstered and malodorous, in equal degree the chaste, refined and unadorned, in the same manner as with them; if restaurants are accessible to "gentlemen and ladies" only, the term is construed to exclude all colored people; and if, at places of public entertainment and amusement, the vulgar, coarse and crude, Negro is discriminated against, there is no exception made in favor of the refined and well behaved colored man or woman, all must wear the same galling yoke; all must know and feel that they are members of a hated and despised class, and that while smallpox, cholera, yellow fever, bubonic plague or even leprosy may be healed, there whose waters are not often cleanse them from the frightful and fatal effects of color caste and proscription in the United States of America. I speak of the rule. Thank God there are, once in awhile, to be found a person sufficiently broad, cultured and humane to risk social proscription and grasp the hand of a fellow mortal, regardless of his complexion, the crimp of his hair or the cast of his features! There were such during the slave and reconstruction eras, and they are still to be found, often when others were there. Now, how shall we gain the friendship and active support of that portion of the white people in the United States who are fair-minded and willing to be just, if not generous? I answer the question by saying study, first of all, to know the white man, his characteristics, his likes and dislikes, and having ascertained them, try to meet them. If we find that the white man is indulgent, let us cultivate industry, does she display a partiality for knowledge, we will "burn the midnight oil" even in our efforts to obtain knowledge; is he still reaching out for gold? then by industry, coupled with economy, we, too, will be found in the markets of the world, exchanging with him values which lie near to his heart; or is it that moral stamina which alone can raise a man up out of a slough of social degradation and place him upon a pedestal of honor, fame and success? then, verily, we will "search the Scriptures," which are to everyone an unfamiliar and place them in an brief, we will strive to understand the fair-minded portion of the dominant class, and having become wise in that behalf, we will, in every manly way, strive to woo and win him. Naught of the sycophant, do I advise; no bending of the "supple hinges of the knee" that thrift may follow fawning, but open, stalwart, many contention along all consistent lines which lead to the commendation and respect of those who are always ready to espouse with head, heart, hand and purse every laudable cause which pleads for assistance. While legislation and agitation are of value, within their several spheres of influence, yet neither can avail us unless we, ourselves, by individual and to some extent concerted action, as indicated in the foregoing, create and sustain that good opinion which is the "power behind the throne."

Smith, his son and five farmers for more or less long terms in the Leavenworth federal penitentiary, in addition to the imposition of heavy money fines, the famous civil rights, or peonage (slavery) case came to an end on Sept. 21. The two Smiths, who are among the most prominent people of Sikeston, Mo., and the five farmers who are alledged to the jail in Iowa from them, expressed themselves in stern language after sentence had been imposed by Judge Pollock, of the United States court. The seven men must also, in addition to the main penalties pay in equal shares the costs of the case, and as nearly 300 witnesses, besides the jury, were detained two weeks, these amount to nearly $5,000. The jury had been out 24 hours when the signal came from the jury room that a verdict had been reached. Olean, N. Y., News Rev. Norris, of Brooklyn, preached Sunday afternoon and Rev.

OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE OF WESTERN PENNSYL VANIA AN OVATION GIVEN THE PRINCIPLE SPEAKER—NEW PARTY ADVOCATED. REPUBLICAN PARTY ENDORSED AND CRITICISED—OFFICERS ELECTED, ETC. Beaver Falls, Pa.—The opening session of the annual meeting of the Afro-American league of western Pennsylvania was held in the Carnegie library auditorium last week Wednesday morning, with the president, Mr. Frank McDonald, presiding. Mayor Corbus delivered an excellent address of welcome. The convention was cared for by the local league (Beaver county) Louis P. Costley, of New Brighton, president; John R. Johnson, of Beaver Falls, secretary. The auditorium was filled with delegates and others interested. Little was done however beside organization. In the afternoon the session was devoted to the appointment of committees and receiving the report of the one on credentials. There were no contests and some interesting short talks. At 11:30 a. m., a committee headed by J. H. Porter, met the Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, O., editor of The Gazette, at the Erie depot and escorted him in a carriage, headed by a brass band to the auditorium and thence to the Seventh Avenue hotel where he dined and stopped while in the city (until Thursday noon). Mr. Smith was the principal speaker in the evening, delivering in about an hour one of the most forceful and practical political and racial addresses it has ever been our good fortune to listen to. The audience was thoroughly enthused and at its conclusion made its way almost enmass to the stage to shake his hand and thank him for it. It was but a repetition of the address given by the editor of The Gazette last year on Emancipation day when he spoke in the park just outside of New Brighton. He is always more than welcome here, as indeed he is everywhere he has spoken, or his paper has been or is circulated. Splendid though short addresses preceded that of the Hon. Mr. Smith—one by Geo. A. Neale, of Pittsburg, and the other by that sturdy veteran, the Rev. Kincade, of New Castle. Both stirred the audience to applause repeatedly and made excellent impressions. On Thursday the delegates "got busy," very busy at the morning session. Rev. A. W. Puller presented the strong report of the committee on the formation of a new (race) political party which was adopted after stormy debate. In the afternoon a strong set of resolutions endorsing and criticising the republican party's course to date was adopted, leaving the league in a rather peculiar position from a political viewpoint. Then followed the report of the committee on nomination, which was adopted. The officers of the league were going year after year as follows, President, G. A. Neale; vice president, James A. Monroe, of Greensburg; second vice, Andrew Bolden, of Oil City; third, W. A. Troy; corresponding secretary, J. N. Smothers, of Uniontown; recording secretary, S. L. Pangburn, of Washington county; treasurer, N. T. Vealer, postmaster of Brinton; state administrator, Rev. G. W. Kincade, of New Castle; chaplain, Rev. P. A. Allmond, of Johnstown; chairman of executive board, William H. Ford, of Monessen. President Neale appointed Mr. Frank McDonald, of Beaver Falls, as chairman of the committee on organization and Harry M. O'Donnell, of Allegheny, secretary. After deciding to hold next year's convention in Oil City, Veranach, the league convened a session full of spirit and energy. Our people here have civil rights suits against several of the local hotels. The result is, nothing is too good for an Afro-American in any of them these days. On with the good work! Among the most potent factors in the success of the recent league meet from a local viewpoint were J. R. Johnson, genial Frank McDonald and J. H. Porter of this city. They are ever ready to promote anything which means race progress and success. More power to them. All on Account of Ducks. Youngstown, O—Miss Lettie Logan is still on the trail of Patrolman Thoa. Lonesome, because of a duck episode several weeks ago. Attorney George Swanson (white) filed a suit before Squire Jones against Mr. Lonesome to recover $10 for two ducks which Mrs. Logan declares the policeman secured from her chicken coop despite her verbal and physical protests. The officer offered to return two ducks after Mrs. Logan had taken the matter before his superiors in the police force. But the latter disdainfully refused the proffered ducks, declaring that they were exceedingly skinny in comparison with her pair of luscious, fat, web-footed fowl. Bradford, Pa., Brevitics The E.

Don't fail to read carefully Senator Foraker's comment on the Atlanta riots. Then think! The editor of the Pittsburg Sun, like Senator Foraker, cannot be given too much praise and credit for his splendid expressions anent the Atlanta riots. He, too, is a broad-gauged American—a scholar and a gentleman. May their kind multiply by the thousands. The country certainly needs them. The verdict in the Missouri peonage cases, noted elsewhere in this paper, is a glorious victory, and we believe, surpasses anything of the kind to date. It is indeed encouraging and shows beyond all question or doubt that the Roosevelt administration "means" something to us as a race, or class of Americans, if not all we would have it to. "A prophet is not without honor," etc. After Joe Gans defeated Battling Nelson, his native city, Baltimore, Md., passed a law prohibiting white boxes from meeting Afro-Americans. Isn't it rich? How very, very silly in the eyes of the entire country, prejudice oftimes makes southerners and frequently the entire south. The Roosevelt-Washington dinner aftermath from that section, for instance, THAT ATLANTA MASSACRE Speaking of the recent riots in Atlanta, Ga., the Pittsburgh Sun very pertinently says: "Mobs are always made up of the worst elements, in the community. Hoodlums, the vicious idle and the petty criminal are always the ones whose righteous indignation at great wrongs, public or private, gets too strong for them. These men ever find the law too slow. They never can get along with it anyway. They run amuck as far as public sentiment will let them go. "The mob is the most menacing evil of to-day. Official authority should be encouraged to make quick, sharp work of any opposition it offers. Stern measures are all that can hold the demon in check. "In spite of the lying, craven excuse of Atlanta, that 'our women must be protected,' there is plenty of law in Georgia to give them protection. And even if there are no law, the solid business and professional element, the honest mechanics and industrious workingmen, would not leave the avenging of their women's wrongs to gangs of frendled hooligans whose glance toward a decent woman is pollution. Atlanta used fair words and a fire hose against the disturbers of the peace where a gatling gun was needed. Her shame is that she now tries to cover it up. "There should be one law for all brutes and criminals, black or white. Punishment should be swift, terrible and certain to all evil-doers irrespective of color. Equality before the law and security in life, person and property need not also comprehend an equality or intimacy in social relations. "These rights have been denied the Negro. He has never had a fair chance. He has been well patient under his wrongs. But for how long will the God of righteousness and retribution stay? Hand against those who are provoking him to anger. "Is he not also the God of the black man?" The following is from the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 27th ult., and was "very inconspicuously placed" by the editor of that democratic daily, writes our friend, Prof. W. P. Dabney, of the "Queen City." who sent it: "The situation at Atlanta is too shocking, too uncivilized, barbaric and un-American to be discussed calmly and dispassionately," said Senator J. B. Foraker yesterday. "Others may say what they like in explanation, but I think one of the largest factors in bringing about this deplorable situation was the character of campaign recently made by Hoke Smith for his nomination for governor, and the advertisement in one of the leading newspapers of Atlanta offering a thousand dollars reward for the lynching of a Negro under circumstance similar to those under which a Negro had been lynched a few weeks ago in South Carolina. I hope somebody will call on that newspaper to pay $1,000 reward for each of the murders it has helped to incite. That would at least have a tendency to make it appreciate what a serious outrage it has committed against society. "It may be, as southern men say, that we are unable to understand their situation and their relation to the Negro race. I can understand that the race condition is not familiar and with which we are not familiar and with which we do not know exertely how the authorities should deal, but all civilized humanity everywhere will cry out against such indiscriminate murder of innocent men as has taken place in Atlanta. Lynch and mob rule are to be denounced even where the victims are guilty ones, much more where, as in this case, not one of the 30 or perhaps 50 men who have been murdered, and the two or three hundred who are guilty of any connection whatever with the assault that is claimed were made by colored men. "There seems to be great concern about the outbreak of an insurrection in Cuba by a lot of irresponsible and lawless bands consisting largely of Negroes and half-breeds 'taking to the bush', to use the vernacular of the island, and warships and marines and troops by the thousands, to take to the bush, for maintenance of law and order there. I think what has happened in Atlanta, and what is likely to follow, for I regard that as only the precursor of other things of like nature, are far more serious, so far as we are concerned, than anything that has happened or is likely to happen in Cuba; and yet there does not seem to be anybody, outside the municipal and federal areas, deeply concerned, although American citizens by the score have been murdered and by the hundreds have been wounded and hounded. "No, I decline to be interviewed for fear I may say something that somebody may take exceptions to, and I should regret that, but I would like to know from somebody who has authority to speak, what protection a citizen of the United States has at the hands of the United States government here at home under the flag, to which he has always been loyal, and to which he has always against any violation never been guilty of any violation whatever?" God bless Ohio's senior senator for the above! Of all the great men in this country he is the only one (white) to so forcefully express himself in public print anent the Atlanta or any other of the many fearful masacres of our people in the south for years. The senator has told the truth and has covered the ground thoroughly. More power to him! There was and is absolutely no good excuse for the Atlanta riots and they were promoted by Hoke Smith's campaign lit erature and the Georgia daily news papers. Let President Roosevelt say something if he cannot do anything! The law abiding people all over this land have been waiting patiently for weeks for at least some expression from the chief executive of the nation. American citizens, men, women and children, not Russians or Cubans were butchered like dogs in the streets of Atlanta! Do your hear, Mr President? Automobile Accident was Fatal Denver, Col.-A large automobile in which Joseph M. Phillips, his two small daughters and Thomas Close, a brother-in-law, were riding collided with a tramway car here Monday. The force of the collision threw the party to the street and Norma, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. Phillips, was killed, being crushed to death under the roof of the street car.

Marines landed in Havana to protect the treasury, and Secretary Taft will issue a proclamation creating himself provisional military governor, after which a further force of American marines will disembark. The end came to the Cuban republic through the refusal of President Palma to withdraw his resignation and the action of the moderates in declining to attend the session of congress. "Vive the Republic of Cuba," cried Gov. Taft at the conclusion of an address at the University of Havana. This was the keynote of his statement, which is taken as an official pronouncement. It is certain that a sufficient force of American troops will be maintained in Cuba to support the provisional government and to insure security to life and property pending the establishment of a stable government by the Cubans. American troops are moving toward Cuba. Mobilization of the force will be at Newport News, Va., for the most part, although a part of the first expeditionary force to Cuba will be sent from New York and Tampa, Fla. Senor Quesada tendered to the provisional government of Cuba his resignation as minister to this country. Former President Palma left the capital so quietly that the public did not realize he had gone until the news was given in the afternoon papers. MISCELLANEOUS.

Inspector McLaughlin, who was sent by the bureau of Indian affairs to induce a wanderling band of 200 Utes from Utah to return to their homes, is now in Wyoming, but is having difficulty in locating the Indians.

Green said to a newspaper man: "Roosevelt is not so popular with the Negroes as he was when he became president. The press is very busy about peonage lynching and the disfranchisement of Negro voters has largely alienated our race. Senator Foraker is the choice of the Negroes for president." The Sisco-Clark civil rights case was again on trial in common pleas court room 5 this week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There was some interesting testimony against the restaurant keeper which we may note at length next week. Attorney W. J. Hart (white) made a "game" fight for Sisco and we think will win the case for him. Last winter's jury disagreed—S for Sisco and 4 against him. It is said that the Lyric theatre management restricts our people to a sort of a "cubby-hole" section of the gallery, and yet there are those of the race who will quietly submit to such treatment. There is plenty of law to stop such degrading and insulting discrimination in public places, and it will be used when our citizen rights are properly valued and we have been humiliated enough in public places of amusement and entertainment. Miss Elizabeth Dixon, aged 33 years, died at 72 Mayflower street September 26. Funeral services at St. John's church, September 28, Rev. I. A. Collins officiating.

Mr. Clarence Powell, a representative of Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and Industrial institute, who has been in the city some weeks, called on The Gazette last week Friday morning. At that evening's midweek prayer meeting in the Old Stone church (white), Flood Agent Powell talked interestingly of the work being done at the school and made a plea for financial aid that the immediate plans of the management might be carried to successful 'suee. He said that at present the capacity of the institute is limited to 1,500 persons annually. No more will be taken, and this year that many applicants had been turned away. Of the 6,000 graduates from the institute, constant report is being received from 95 per cent, all of whom are making their way in life with pleasing results. The present expense of conducting the institute averages $180,000 a year, but the work being accomplished for the race, he said, made that cost insignificant. $100,000 ANNUAL INGOME The Result of Perseverance and the Gift of a Couple of Ostriches. Los Angeles, Cal.-About ten years ago Mimi Matilda, daughter of Henry Washington, an express wagon driver, was given a couple of ostriches. About a year later the ostriches grew fine feathers which she had made into trimming for her own and her mother's hats and gave a good many away. One day Matilda thought she would like to learn the trade of ostrich feather fixing, so at a very low price she hired herself to a feather factory in southern California and in due time she bought a feather manufacturer. She then tried to train her feather feathers to the tradesmen of Los Angeles, they would not buy because they said the people wanted genuine African feathers. The girl was disgusted, for she thought her time had been thrown away. After another year had passed she thought she would advertise in some of the ladies' magazines in the east. So her father gave her $50 of his hard earned money and she sent small advertisements to several ladies papers. The first day she received $1.50 and as days passed the amounts became larger. At the end of two months her supply was exerted and she had to buy from ostrich feathers in town. In less than a year Henry Washington was hauling no more trunks and is now living in a fine mansion entertaining lavishly and is highly respected. Thus it will be seen how a couple of ostriches, properly engineered by a young lady, resulted in the salvation of the Washington fortune. New Castle, Pa., Notes.

They weigh more than one ordinary tire, the puncture restoring qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have their fun here and around. There will be a change for the better or for the better if the system is purified by such a tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. D. C. Welding, of Hartford, Ky., writes as follows concerning the difficulties which afflicted her: "I was seriously ill and was confined to my bed for six or eight months in all, during two years. I had chills, fever, rheumatism. My stomach seemed always too full my kidneys did not act properly, inactive, my heart beat was very weak and I had dizziness or swimming in my head and nervous trembles. "I was under the treatment of several different physicians but they all failed to do me any good. After suffering for two years I learned from an Arkansas doctor about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill therapy them. The very first box I took made me feel better and when I had taken four boxes more I was entirely well, weighed fifteen pounds more than when I began, resumed my household duties, and have since continued in the best of conditions recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pill count of what they did for me, and I feel that I cannot praise them too strongly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored Mrs. Wedding to health because they actually make new blood and when the blood is in full vigor every function of the body is restored, because the blood carries to every organ, every muscle, every nerve, the necessary nourishment. Any woman who is interested in the cure of Mrs. Wedding will want our book, "Plain Talks to Requests" from the drugstore.

BRAVED ANGER OF KING. Lafayette Flauted Liberty Medal In Face of Louis. Shortly after Lafayette's return to France from his second sojourn in America, he was at Versailles, where the king was about to review a division of troops. Lafayette was asked to join in the review. He was dressed in the American uniform, and was standing by the side of the Prince de Conde, when the king, in his tour of conversation with the officers, came to him, and, after speaking on several topics, asked him some questions about his uniform and the military costume of the United States. The king's attention was attracted by a little medal attached to the general's coat, and he asked what it was. Lafayette replied that it was a symbol which it was the custom of foreign officers in American service to wear, and that it bore a device. "And what is the device upon yours?" asked the king. "My device," said the young general, pointing to his medal, "is a liberty pole standing on a broken crown and scenter." The king smiled, and with some pleasantry upon the republican propensities of a French Marquls in American uniform, turned the conversation into other channels. Conde looked grave, but was silent.-The Sunday Magazine. BEGGAR WORE SILK HAT. Attire of Mendicant Surprised Visitors in London. The visitors from the country turning from a London railway terminus into the street on Saturday stopped to gaze aghast at a man standing in the gutter, "Look," said one, nudging the other, "even the beggars wear 'toppers' in London!" It was true in this case, at any rat. Here was a man of about five and thirty, dressed like a city clerk, in a good morning coat and trousers, sound boots, clean starched shirt and collar and a well fixed tie. He was crowned with a silk hat, well brushed and ironed. But there he was in the conventional attitude of the curbstone merchant, one foot on the pavement, the other in the gutter. One hand held out for sale half a dozen boxes of matches, the other invited alms. A man keeps a nice little place in the country from the profits of his pitch on the payment in the Strand, but his workaday clothes would not fetch as much as this man's hat cost to iron.—London Evening Standard. Thunderstorms on the Water. "On the water," said a grizzled old bayman, "when you see a thunder-storm rising you want to keep an eye on the lightning. If you see it in the distance striking down further and further to the right from where you first saw it, or further and further to the left, why, that indicates that the storm is working to the right, or to the left, and it may pass around you. "But if you see it all the time coming down in the same place and all the time getting brighter and brighter, why, that indicates that it's coming straight toward you; and that's the time, son, when you want to make for home, or get in your sail and make everything snug till the storm passes over."

In the province of Nueva Ecija alone some five or six modern rice hulling mills have been built since the completion of the railroad, and most of them are owned and run by Filipinos of the province. At several stations along the new railroad modern plows and harrows have been unloaded for farmers, who are becoming discontented with their antiquated implements. Only a few days ago, says Philippine Education, published in Manila, a traction engine and a three gang steam plow were sent to Nueva Ecija for one of its wealthy and progressive Filipino farmers. This man has 150 hectares of land. In 1967 300 carabas and scores of men from two to three months to till this land. By the new method two or three men will do the same work a great deal better in one-third of the time. THE WAY TO HIS HEART. Sylvia runs her motor car, while Clarice goes canoeing.

Artificially aerated drinking waters were the invention of the chemist Joseph Priestley, who in 1772 published his "Directions for Impregnating Water with Fixed Air in Order to Communicate to It the Peculiar Spirit and Virtues of Pymtum Water and Other Mineral Waters of a Similar Nature." Some one has calculated the consumption of aerated waters in Great Britain and Ireland to amount to 200,000,000 gallons a year. CURED OF GRAVEL. Not a Single Stone Has Formed Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills. J. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, of Suffolk, Va., says: "During two or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed about 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed about 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, pain in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that is not one-quarter of the whole number. I consider Doan's Kidney Pills a fine kidney tonic." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Duse Refuses Jubilee Eleanor Duse, the famous Italian actress, has positively vetoed a plan to celebrate her jubilee as was done in England and France for Ellen Terry and Bernhardt. When the subject was broached to the signora she thanked her friends but declined the honor. She enjoys the distinction—almost unique in her profession—of shunning everything in the shape of publicity. As a general rule she also scorns the usual artifices of her sex on the stage in the matter of paint and powder, appearing almost as nature made her, rapidly graying hair and all. Bird Breeding Islands During the last year the Audubon Society of Louisiana has rented some 17 bird breeding islands, located in the waters of the gulf. Last year the islands were watched by two wardens, whose wages were paid by the national committee of Audubon societies, and although they were not wholly able to prevent trespassing and egg stealing nevertheless the results attained were wellnigh marvellous. On their own and the neighboring islands of Breton reservation, owned by the federal government, by these simple preventive measures, there were hatched and raised all of 40,000 birds, composed of the following species: Common terns, foresters, terns, royal terns, laughing gulls, black skimmers. —Country Life in America. Aunt Mary's "Quict" Funeral. A dear old New England spinner, the embodiment of the timid and shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad, where she had gone for her health. Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, ordered the body sent back to be buried—as was her last wish—in the quiet little country churchyard. His surprise can be imagined, when, on opening the casket, he beheld, instead of the placid features of his aunt Mary, the majestic person of an English girl. He fell reminiscent, whom he remembered had chanced to die at the same time and place as his aunt. At once he cabled to the general's heirs, explaining the situation and requesting instructions. They came back as follows: "Give the general quiet funeral. Aunt Mary interred to-day with full military honors, six brass bands, saluting guns." WHO PAID FOR THE DRINKS? Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty Men on the Mexican Border. "Now, here is the best yarn of the lot and a good puzzle for the Sunday papers to print," said the man with the alkali in his whiskers, when he had settled down in the hotel lobby after a long day on the rubberneck wagon. "Several years ago American silver coin in Mexico was on the same basis as Mexican silver was at that time and still is in the states; it passed at half its face value. Drinks in El Paso and in Juarez, the Mexican town across the line, were a bit apiece or 12% ceas, as you easternners would say. "In those palmy days a citizen of El Paso could go into a drinking emporium and buy a drink, paying for it with an American quarter. The bar tender would hand him back a Mexican quarter, which was, of course worth 12% cents in Texas. "Then with this Mexican quarter in his hand the citizen could cross the bridge to Juarez and there buy another drink, laying his Mexican quarter on the bar. "If the Greaser barkeep should give him in change an American quarter of his cents to Mexico, Syron citizen coats him a Uncle and a back yard and repeat the process. "Now, the question is: Who paid for those drinks?"—N. Y. Sun. RIGHT HOME. Doctor Recommends Postum from Personal Test. No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the doctor. When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A M. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says: "I wish to add my testimony in regard to that excellent preparation—Postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach." "When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system. I shall continue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to."

Ears Looked as if They Would Drop Off-Face Mass of Sores-Cured "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born baby's. I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steese, 701 Colburn St., Akron, Ohio." Stuttering. Of the etiology of stuttering we know nothing definite. Direct inheritance is rare, and possibly imitation is the chief factor when father and son are affected. There is usually a well marked neurotic inheritance, others in the family having various forms of nervous complaints. But I have not been able, to confirm Charcot's statement that stuttering and ordinary facial paralysis frequently occur in the same family. Shocks, frights and debility after some acute illness are the causes to which the onset is most frequently attributed by parents. Imitation is undoubtedly an occasional cause, children having often been known to start the habit when put in charge of a stuttering nursemaid. A friend of mine, who was extremely fond of horses and was hardly to be kept out of the stables, acquired a most obstinate stutter from the groom. Adenoid vegetations are often met with and are important as a predisposing cause, since they tend to prevent the proper filling of the chest with air. When present they should be removed as a preliminary measure, although it must not be expected that their removal will lead to a prompt cessation of the stutter.—Lancet. How's This?

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies; those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome California blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

Strange World Tour A story is told in Paris of a titled palerite's pilgrimage. Ten years ago Viscomte Jacques de Gruart laid a wager of $60,000 that he and his bride, to be married in the day of departure, could make a tour of the world, living on the earnings of the vicomte's brush. There was no stipulation as to time. The pair have just reached Paris on their return, after successfully accomplishing their undertaking and winning their bet. They have traversed Europe, America, Africa and Australia, living on nothing but the meager profits of the vicomte's brush. LUMBAGO AND SCIATICA TRADE MARK ST.
