THE The New Fashion in Furs THE LADY OF THE ROOM Some of the New Models in Furs. For what we are going to wear in the way of new furs, we have every reason to be truly thankful, not only to Dame Fashion herself, but to her helpful allies as well, who in the en-terprising fur dealers of the larger cities of the country make it possible for all of us to carry out her latest edicts to our own satisfaction and comfort, even though our purses may be none of the deepest. Our cause for thankfulness is impressed more particularly upon us this season by the fact that sealskin is be more generally and fashionably favored than it has been for many a long day, and remembering—by hearay or pictured and photographic evidence—the shapeless and unbecoming garment, which in the days of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers represented "the sealskin" which it was the prevailing feminine ambition to possess, we have the force of contrast to make us appreciate the delightful smartness of design and detail in the sealskin coat of to-day, with its contrast of ermine or sable; or, again, some deftly introduced touch of silky braid or broidered velvet. And as to the new styles, every figure as well as every purse can be suited. include short short-basqued coat and double-breasted models which degrees of fittin bolos with coats which imitate bat to the waist at able and welcoming the coats in the sleeves.

Among the fur worn, sable worn, will premier place be beauty, while ready said, is t and ermine and smart and serve are also to be which won so m, on has, on account of its inexpensive prominent place the moderate coat in sable There was a rumor that Dame Fashon had pronounced a decree of banishment on the balero, but—luckily, as many will consider—it is still very much in evidence, though those who do not consider it sufficiently protective for wintry weather can either take advantage of a new scheme which allies it to a under-bodice of cloth to match the fur, or can avail themselves of one of the many other shapes which Empire Gowns Win Favor at Last Gowns cut with the elevated waist-line—the distinctive feature of the empire dress—will undoubtedly prevail as the popular style this winter. The vital question has been met by the modistes of New York and their appreciative and—dare we say its subservient—clientage and the decision has been made in favor of the empire, and naturally every other city of the land will feel it incumbent upon her to follow suit. True it has been a Simple Dinner Dress. struggle to win the favor of the American woman to this cut of gown, but at last she has yielded, and by spring the style promises to be quite general. But this is true—the daring, unconventional lines of the empire, which led to first rejection by the women in this country have been gradually modified until Josephine herself would fall to recognize in the present American product, the distinctive dress of her period. But that there are pretty dresses that are not of the empire cut at- include short sacques, smart little short-basqued coats with fitting backs and double-breasted fronts, or longer models which again display various degrees of fitting. Then there are boleros with cape sleeves, and capes which imitate boleros by being held in to the waist at the back, while a notable and welcome feature of nearly all the coats is the extension of the sleeves. In many cases they reach to the wrist, while in almost every case the elbow is well covered, and the cuffs, which come below, can be turned down when desired to give extra protection to the arms, all of which means an increase in comfort and a decrease in our glove expenditure. Among the furs which will be most worn, sable will, as always, take the premier place by right of its exclusive beauty, while sealskin, as I have already said, is to have a great vogue andermine and mink, and the always smart and serviceable Persian lamb are also to be noted. Moleskin also, which won so much favor last season, has, on account of its prettiness and its inexpensiveness, been given a prominent place again this year, while the moderate prices of musquash and squirrel in sable colorings, and, again, of seal musquash, will make it pleasantly possible for every woman to indulce in the furs for we, one and all, have a special weakness. Pointed fox is being more used than ever for the making of the ties and muffs which represent another urgent requirement, and many new effects are being shown this season in the engagement of the heads, paws and tails. tested by the dalty but simple girlish dress of pale blue volle, shown in our illustration. The skirt is gathered at the sides and back of waist, and at the lower part is arranged in three tucks about 1½ inch in depth. The full bodice is laid in three tucks one inch in width; the fronts turn down with small pointed revers of lace; over it is worn a lace zouave. The volle for the sleeves is tucked to match the bodice, lace then forms an epaulette, and is carried down the fore part of arm into a band above elbow, this is finished by a frill of lace. A sash of wide soft glace ribbon is worn round the waist. Materials required: Eight yards volle 44 inches wide, two yards lace 18 inches wide. POINTERS FOR GOLD HUNTERS. What Searchers for Capt. Kidd's Treasures Should Know. Anent the fact that the usual number of Long Island farmers have begun as usual annual search for the treasure buried by Capt. Kidd, the following statistics, gathered from five different historians may prove interesting: In all his buccaneering Capt. Kidd captured only five vessels. In the whole five he did not get over $20,000 worth of plunder. When all expenses were paid and the balance divided up, his share was less than as if he had been the floorwalker in a clothing store. Between his setting out from Boston to become a pirate and his return in chains he did not visit the coast. He had no money to bury on Long Island or elsewhere, and if he had had there was no opportunity for him to bury it. Farmers along the Atlantic coast will, no doubt, find chests of gold if they keep up the search long enough, but they will be chests hidden away in the ground by millionaire peanut sellers instead of pirates.

EVER LOYAL AND HIS PROGRESS, GREATI SAID SENATOR DRAKER, IN. URGING FAIR TREATMENT FOR OUR PEOPLE. Innocent Afro-Americans Struck Down and Brutally Murdered—Should Be Stopped—A Remedy Must Be Found. Chattanooga, Tenn.—Ohio's senior senator, the Hom. Joseph Benson Foraker, made one of the grandest speeches here last week Wednesday evening at the Republican good fortune to listen to. He was addressing the survivors of the army of the Cumberland, being the orator of the day. The senator is a member of the society, having been an officer in the Eighty-ninth Ohio regiment during the war of the rebellion. While the part of his speech published in The Gazette last week was fine and of exceptional interest to our people, the following portion is even better and will be thoroughly appreciated by a grateful people who are daily learning to love Ohio's matchless senator and more. "It seems incredible that the government that is all-powerful to accomplish the long list of splendid achievements mentioned—that is all-powerful to do the works that have been wrought at home and abroad—is yet, nevertheless, incapable of protecting at home, on our own soil, under our own flag, in the enjoyment of all his constitutional and political rights, our humblest citizen. "It is our boast, and has been for 40 years, that we abolished slavery and lifted the Negro up out of his degradation to a plane of political unity with all other citizens, in the presence of our constitution and our laws." "With the encouragement and inspiration thus given him, the black man has, during these 40 years, made a great deal of progress. Own Millions "The four and a half millions of Negroes of 1860 practically owned nothing. Nearly all of them were owned by somebody else. "Without any preparation for freedom and the assumption of the responsibilities of citizenship they might be expected to make but little advancement, even with everybody lending them a helping hand; but particularly so, having to contend, as they did, against all the prejudices and hatreds of born of their previous condition. And yet while we have the new population badly, we have seen them accumulate property, which they today own in their own right, to the amount of more than five hundred millions of dollars. "We have seen them, while struggling up out of poverty, yet seeking and finding education, until, where probably not one man in a thousand could then read or write, today less than half of them are illiterate. Educational Development. "We have seen them establishing schools and colleges and banks and universities of their own and successfully conducting them. "They have their bad classes as every other people have, and many more probably than they should have, all of whom must be rigidly dealt with under the law just as other criminals, but as a people they have ever been loyal to American institutions and loyal to the American flag. "In every war through which the country has passed they have, so far as we have permitted them to do so, borne an honorable part. "And yet it would seem as though this very loyalty and patriotism and progress they are making are today militating against their happiness and their security, not alone in one section, but everywhere, through the whole country—north as well as south. "Innocent Are Struck Down. "Almost every day we read of unlawful outbreaks against them, for which there does not seem to be any adequate power of either prevention or punishment lodged anywhere, except only in local authorities, who too frequently are either unable or unwilling to exercise it. If this violence were aimed at only the guilty, we would be a great crime against police, the law and order upon which the safety of our institutions depends, but too frequently it strikes down the innocent and takes on the hideous form of brutal and indiscriminate murder that shocks and deadens the moral sensibilities of the whole nation. "What the remedy is to be for this condition of things does not seem clear; but that there must be found a remedy is clear, and it is the duty of thoughtful men of all sections and parties to strive to find it. Deportation 'Talk Decried. "While it is not clear what this remedy should be, it is clear that many of the remedies that have been suggested will not be tolerated or would not prove availing if they should be. "To talk about eliminating the black man by deporting him to Africa or some other foreign country to be acquired by us for that purpose is the veriest nonsense. "No such thing is within human possibility, and it would not be desirable if it were. "The thought of exterminating him is a thousand times worse, and mere talk about it, no matter how idle it may be, is a shocking moral crime. Remedy Must be Found. "All attempts by lynching or other forms of violence 'o reduce him to a servile condition will be found, if per- sisted in, just as odious to the American people of this day as was slavery to the American people of 1861-65. "None of these suggestions will answer. Some other remedy must be found, and it must be one consistent with the recognition of his manhood and with his just rights as a citizen of this republic. "I criticise nobody, but I earnestly appeal to everybody, north and south, white and black, democrat and republican alike, to help in the great work of freeing us from this menacing trouble. "It is important to protect Cubans in Cuba, but it is even more important to protect Americans in America." (The Cincinnati Ohio Commercial Tribune of Oct. 18 contains the senator's speech. Send a nickle and get a copy.—Ed.) ALLEGED LYNCHERS Warmly Welcomed at the White House by President Roosevelt. SENATOR JOSEPH B. FORAK "The Treason of Joe" a Reminisce Washington, D. C.-Sheriff Hayes, of Hamilton county, Tenn., and more than a score of citizens of Chattanooga were present in the United States supreme court last week Monday to answer charges of contempt based on the lynching in February last of Ed Johnson, an Afro-American, after a stay of execution had been granted by Justice Harlan. Accompanied by prominent citizens and lawyers, they made the trip from Chattanooga in a special train. They were disappointed in their expectation of an immediate hearing, as Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati, chief counsel for the defense, raised a point that the attorney general was not prepared to meet. Mr. Harmon contended that the court had exceeded its jurisdiction by granting a stay of sentence. He declared that appeal should have been made to the state courts and until the remedies in such courts had been exhausted the supreme court could not intervene, its orders were not binding, and failure to obey could not involve contempt. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT In the party that came on the special train were the alleged lynchers, Sheriff Shipp, Judge McMeynolds, who tried Johnson, and Lewis Sheppard, who defended him at the trial, before the Afro-American attorneys, Messrs Parden and Hutchins, took up his case, and prominent citizens and lawyers of Chattanooga. Judge McMeynolds is giving his moral support to Shipp. As soon as these two got out of court, they hastened to the White House and arranged a reception for the entire party (white) from Chattanooga. President Roosevelt has having a conference on important issues with whom he was involved. Sheriff Shipp awaited an audience, he excused himself and went to meet him. He seized the sheriff by both hands and gave him most cordial welcome. He said it would greatly please him to receive the party the next morning. When told that they desired to leave the city that night, he proceeded to give an informal reception right then and there. Officers of the National Council Officers of the National Council.

"The Treason of Joe," a Reminiscence of the Last Battle of Sherman's Army. Our good friend, Mr. Andrew McSpadden, of Perry, O., a former resident of Cleveland, and a veteran of the war of the rebellion, sent us the following thrilling communication, "The Treason of Joe," published in the National Tribune, of Washington, D. C. Oct. 18, 1906: Editor National Tribune: I have for many years been a reader of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. I have read all the articles on the "Treason of the Senate" that have come from the gifted writer, David Graham Phillips, who talks so eloquently with his pen that he almost believes it himself. My mind goes back to a March day in 1865, in old North Carolina. I hear again, or seem to hear, the roar of the crowd as he falls off to the left as Joe Johnston and Hardee roll back the Fourteenth corps in confusion. I see, or seem to see, the First and Third divisions of the Twentieth corps march to help stem the victorious charge of the boys in gray. The wagon trains are packed, and my own, the Second division of the Twentieth corps in reserve for their defense. I was near the headquarters of Gen. Henry Slocum when he called one of his aids, a young and handsome man, to help him say, "Joe, don't let the grass grow under you from here to Sherman's headquarters," and Joe's reply, "By ——, I'll be there as quick as horse-flesh can carry me." Afterwards the crack of muskety and thunder of cannon off to the right told the fact that the boys of the 40 rounds—the Fifteenth corps—had struck the rebel left, and Joe had done his duty well that day amid the pine woods of North Carolina. We know that Joe loved his country then and did his duty as he understood it. We believe Joe loves his country yet, and always does his duty as he understands it now. We old soldiers of Sherman's army do not believe there is any treason in Joe. He has been tried by fire amid the smoke of battle and the thunder of cannon on many a field where treason was rampant. His loyalty was never questioned by any but David Graham Phillips. We old soldiers are proud of Joe. He was one of us, and we all rejoice in his success and in the honors that crown him and that he has most of his duty as he did that day amid the woods of North Carolina. We rejoice that the people of his state made his a judge and twice sent him to the governor's chair, and his duties were so well performed that they said go higher, and they sent him to represent them in the senate. There Joe still fights in the open for what he thinks is right, and just gives and takes and asks no quarter and no favors. No, David Graham Phillips, we believe in Joe. He wears no man's collar, and all the venomous shafts from your pen must fall harmless at the feet of Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio—N. A. Kent, Co. G, 154th N. Second brigade, Second division, Twentieth corps, San Mateo, Fla. Tim Got His Gun. Jersey City, N. J.-T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the N. Y. Age, whose home is in Red Bank, N. J., was fined $25 here recently for carrying a loaded revolver. Fortune went into the New Jersey Central railroad restaurant at Communipaw to have a meal. There was a dispute about the coffee and Fortune, it is alleged, went to the waiting room and after taking a revolver from his satchel, returned New Jersey Central railroad restaurant at Communpaw to have a meal. There was a dispute about the coffee and Fortune. It is legged, went to the waiting room and after taking a revolver from his satchel, returned to the restaurant. The waiter called Policeman Quinn, who arrested Fortune. He was arraigned before Judge Higgins. What Stops Mobs! Washington, D. C. -With respect to mobs, lynchers and mob law, Rev. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church, said recently: "The duty of the Negro is to make it as perilous as possible for the mob. When the mob understands, and understands from actual experience that there are blows to take as well as blows to give, it won't be so quick to organize. The only thing which these cowards respect, who organize, mobs, is force, brute force; the only thing which makes them think twice before acting is the fear of being injured. There is but one way to deal with mobs and that is to shoot it to death, to reel in bullets or dynamite it; and the Negro will be doing himself and the whole south a service by being prepared to make it as perilous as possible for the mob." 2 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. For president, the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, senior senator of Ohio. "It is important to protect Cubans in Cuba, but it is even more important to protect Americans in America."—Senator J. B. Foraker. President Roosevelt has appointed an assistant United States attorney general, a southern democrat, to investigate thoroughly and institute criminal prosecution in all cases of peonage (slavery) in Florida and other parts of the south. The loud-mouthed, drunken Negro and the "rag-timed" singing and whistling young monkey Negro in public places, especially on the streets and in the street cars, are the bane of the race particularly here in the north. They are a positive nuisance and are doing our people incalculable harm in many ways. Let our ministers and other speakers as well as our press "preach it" to our people of every community. Put a dollar bill or more in a letter and send it to R. T. Brown, Jackson, Tenn, and tell him it is to help Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. church, fight in the courts for the race's rights as inter-state passengers on the railroads of southern states having "Jim Crow" car laws. This is the duty of every loyal Afro-American who has sufficient manhood and womanhood to properly value and appreciate their citizen rights. BLACK TRAITORS Rev. J. G. Snedecor, president of Stillman institute, Tuscaloosa, Ala., said to be an Afro-American, is quoted by the St. Louis (Mo.) Globe-Democrat as saying in an address to the Presbyterian synod (white) of Arkansas in session at Newport, Ark., last week, that he did not blame whites of the south for their hatred of the southern Negro. A Mrs. Rachel Elliott, of Arkansas, also said to be a member of the race by the same paper, is quoted as saying to the Mississippi County Baptist Women's association last week that: "There must be a complete separation of the races along social lines." We presume she means in the south, of course. It will never come to pass in the north. However, we call attention to the Snedecor and Elliott statements to show how some Negroes (if the two persons mentioned are members of the race) can help themselves and all of us far more by keeping their big and loose-joined mouths shut, rather than by opening them when they haven't something to say and to us. It is just such traitorous Negroes who are continually putting clubs in the hands of the race's enemies, south and north, with which the latter seek to beat out their brains, so speak. It is high time to kick out or get out any way we can, the scullon Negro who would cut out the race's heart if he could, to secure far, vorge, or small, from white peole. If there is anything calculated to make one advocate mob violence it is that contemptible being, the truckling unprincipled, traitorous w. m.'s Negro. We dislike to believe that Snedecor and the Elliott woman are members of the race. Indeed we do not believe it. The Globe-Democrat surely has erred, intentionally or otherwise. In all probability intentionally. PROPER ORGANIZATION Gov. "Jim" Vardaman, of Missisippi, landed in Chicago last week and at once rushed into the newspapers like Senator "Blatherskite" Ben Tillman does at every opportunity charging the "southern Negro" with "becoming more criminal every day," and advocating "the abrogation of the fifteenth amendment to the United States constitution." He is trying to break into the United States senate from his state in the same reprehensible way that Hoke Smith made himself governor of Georgia, by abuse of the Negro. There are more white criminals, proportionately, in and out of jail in the two states named than Afro-American, and Smith and Vardaman know it. Yet they "harp" on the poor Negro. It pays in their section to do so, and hurts the Afro-American in the north. This they also know. Meantime what is the Afro-American, south and north, doing to combat the advance such contemptible beings as those mentioned, Tom Dixon, John Temple Graves and other southerners of their ilk are making? Southern capital, intimately to the race, has in recent years THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1906. secured control of many northern daily newspapers, as well as the Associated Press. Prejudiced young white southerners by the dozens have secured more or less prominent positions on the staffs of many other northern dailies. All use every means at their command to discredit the Afro-American, south and north, in the eyes of white residents of this section. A case in point are two alleged republican daily newspapers in this city. In spite of all this and much more, known to many if not all of our intelligent people, the race, south and north, is not sufficiently concerned to take proper cognizance of the fact, to say nothing of doing something in an organized way to offset the baneful effect. Would any other class or race of people on the face of the globe be so indifferent and negligent when their most vital interests were so jeopardized? Ask yourself the question as well as others. Is there anything that will cause us to properly organize in every community where there are a dozen or more of our people? OUR SENATOR FORAKER. More power to Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, the only outspoken American statesman of the day! Ohio is justly proud of him! He is a worthy successor of those grand old patriots, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner and Judge Albion W. Tourgee. He, too, holds that the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is of far greater concern to the government and the country than the protection of Cubans, Filipinos or Porto Ricans, and the regulation of Hawaiians, the trusts, including railroad corporations and all other large and small commercial and industrial combinations. How true it is that commercialism is sapping the very life-blood of the nation. To-day no man stands the peer of Judge Foraker in the estimation of every loyal Afro-American and thousands upon thousands of patriotic, broad-minded white American citizens. Watch him grow—to the presidency of this great country. It needs such a strong and exceptionally able mind to succeed President Roosevelt. One or more of the United States circuit courts of the north have already questioned the constitutionality of the new railroad rate law, thus early confirming the senator's predictions on the floor of the United States senate when the bill was pending there. Every conviction the government has secured to date in its legal fights on the trusts and corporations has been won under laws enacted years ago, many of them with the assistance of Senators Foraker, Elkins and other republican colleagues, thus confirming the former's statement in the upper branch of congress that better results were obtainable under these same laws properly amended than by the enaction of a railroad rate law. It will pay citizens, generally, who are so quick to reach conclusions on the matter of the regulation of railroad rates and kindred subjects, to suspend judgment awhile and wait. The man who has been strong enough, intellectually and physically, to literally forge his way to a leadership in the United States senate in less than ten years must have commanding ability, an exceptionally strong mind, wonderful energy, the true grit and sterling manhood. His judgment and stand in any matter of so great public concern are entitled to exceptional consideration and respect, to say the least, and the fair-minded person of intelligence will be very slow to condemn, even if they criticise, until a reasonable time has elapsed in to reach an intelligent conclusion. This will be when the new railroad rate law has had a fair trial, and not before. Meantime we doff our hat to that patriotic and loyal old soldier and true American, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, the man who dares in this day and time—the worst since the close of the war of the rebellion—to champion in the face of the Atlanta massacre, and even in the lynching town of Chattanooga, Teen, the right of the most downtrodden class of his countrymen, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. May God strengthen him in the work is our earnest prayer. Everybody Ought to Know Everybody Ought to Know. Mobile, Ala.-Gov. Jeiks, in a recent address, bears testimony in the most positive manner to the general innocence of the Afro-American of the charges of rape. He said: "About twelve women in the juveniles in the governor's office, I was confronted with a lynching in one of the counties in this state. It was an unprovoked murder of an absolutely innocent man. A brave judge and a brave solicitor, with the help of some special counsel furnished by the administration, convicted something like a half dozen of the self-constituted guardians of the law, and sent them to the penitentiary. The great mob spirit, in the presence of this triumph of the law, hesitated and halted, and almost went out of business. When I had been in the governor's office three years, carefully inducted into the army of every of the five lynchings that had taken place. It would astonish you to know that out of the five who had met violent death at the hands of a criminal mob, three of them were without offense before the law." Eilipinos Warned! Manila, P. L. — Secretary Tait's miserable North Carolina speech against Afro-Americans has dragged his name down to the gutter here in the estimation of the Filipinos. El Renacimiento lined the Filipinos up on the side of the Negro in discussing it, and said: "What may we expect from a nation so heartless and so hypocritical as to raise to the citizenship its black people to turn immediately around and thwart the purpose of its acts by chicanery and unamenable devices. Filipinos should never lose sight of how the nation that 'promised' them so much treats the Negroes, and judge their fate accordingly." The Washington (D. C.) Bee is authority for the statement that a white man has been appointed to succeed Hon. John P. Green as a stamp agent in the departments at the nation's capital. Cleveland, O., Oct. 20th, 1906. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: The foregoing is clipped from The Gazette of the 20th inst. Here are the facts: The position to which I was appointed in 1897 and held for nine years (being one year longer than any one else, in 51 years, ever held it) was that of United States postage stamp agent. That position ceased to exist for the want of an appropriation July 1st, 1906. It is dead—as dead as Julius Caesar. Nobody holds it—white or black. The place was created in 1855 and maintained at New York as long as the postage stamps were manufactured by the American Bank Note Co., in order to supervise the manufacture and distribution of them. The stamps are now manufactured at Washington by the bureau of engraving and printing under the supervision of the third assistant postmaster general. Hence, a stamp agent is no longer needed. It was a sinecure while I was employed and after recommendation that it be abolished, spending ten or more years, it was finally abolished. I kept it alive, after McKinley and Hanna died, by going to congress and "lobbying" my appropriation to run it, through. The position The Bee refers to is a collateral one, the duties of which I performed at my own suggestion, and which I could no longer perform after the agency ceased to exist. The "white" man who is now performing those collateral duties holds a place which is in no way similar to the late agency. Respectfully. JOHN P. GREEN New Castle, Pa.

The Gazette received a pleasant visit from Messrs. Harry L. Freeman, musical director, and Frank Fowler Brown, tenor soloist, of the Ernest Hogan "Rufus Rastus" company. The failure of many local race enterprises can be attributed principally to their failure to advertise. Our business men should use the columns of The Gazette. If they would succeed. Thomas Johnson, Edward Jackson, Walter O. Lee, Frank Scott and Clarence Brown. Jr., were all appointed this summer to positions in the post-office as the result of civil service examinations.

Not need of going to New York or elsewhere to invest in such an organization. J. W. Alexander, who came to Cleveland from Columbus about two years ago, where he was a guard in the penitentiary, died at M. Pleasant, O., last week. He moved there from this city after closing his restaurant on Chestnut street. Mr. Alexander is survived by his wife and a daughter, the wife of Rev. E. W. Kinchen, of Lorain. So many complaints of inattention, slighting patrons and the like have been recently made against white undertakers by Afro-Americans that we are at a loss to understand why any of our people persist in ignoring our own men in the undertaking business and patronizing others. A little self-respect and race loyalty is what some of our people need greatly. Edward P. Jones, whose death and burial was noted in our last issue, was a veteran of the war of the rebellion and the oldest barber in the city. He shaved Presidents Johnson, Lincoln and Garfield. For the last 25 years he conducted a shop at 606 St. Clair avenue N. E. Mr. Jones was a member of the First Methodist church and is survived by his wife. Rev. H. C. Bailey of Antioch church preached an exceptionally able sermon Sunday evening in which he referred in a most complimentary and praiseworthy manner to Senator J. B. Foraker's matchless effort at Chattanooga last week Wednesday evening. The portion of the senator's speech of most interest to our people appeared in last and this week's Gazette. Be sure to read it carefully and have your friends do so also. Mrs. Wm. Loyd Bowman and Mrs. J. Henry Bolden (nee Miss Sadie Clioo) of Chicago, are visiting Mrs. Wm. McIntire and Miss Ida M. Brown, Gldings avenue, for ten days. They will also visit Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Massillon and Wooster. Mesdames Bowman, Bolden and McIntire are spending a few days at Massillon and Wooster visiting a brother and friends. The twin sisters (Mrs. Bowman and Mrs. McIntire) celebrated their (*) birthday Thursday at Mrs. McIntire's. A truckling Negro journal of Cleveland, Ohio, which sucks all its brains from Tom Fortune's old boots, is having spasms because the Chicago Conservator and the Boston Guardian have emphasized what the southern white dailies say of what Washington is doing to help them to keep the Negro in his place. It says these papers are not decent for doing such. Nor was William Lloyd Garrison's paper thought decent by such dough faces when it contended for Negro liberty. —Chicago Conservator. A committee of local public school teachers (white) have engaged Ben Tillman for a lecture in December on the "Negro Question." Our Chicago school teachers and leading men "got together" a few week's ago, and caused a Chicago lecture bureau to cancel its Tillman lecture engagement. Are the Afro-American school teachers of the racially diverse and so lacking in self and race pride as to even try? Where is the womanhood, pride, intelligence and courage they boast of in their "Federation" meetings and in their homes? The Fisk university quartet sang before a large audience Monday evening in the Euclid Avenue Congregational church. The concert was under the direction of Mrs. N. Stone Scott, and was given for the benefit of the choir chorus of the church. Nearly every selection was enclosed. The program consisted of plantation songs and lullabies, and readings from Dunbar's poems by J. A. Myers. The tenor solo, S. Coleridge-Taylor's "On-a-Way," was enthusiastically applauded. The members of the quartet are: J. W. Work, tenor; J. A. Myers, tenor; A. E. King, barbone; W. W. Ryder, basso. The first named is professor of Latin at Fisk university and the other three are students. The editor of The Gazette was greatly pleased as the result of a visit from his old friend and co-worker in the journalistic and political field (national) Major R. R. Wright, of Savannah. President McKinley appointed Prof. Wright a paymaster with the rank of major when he was president of Georgia's state college for Afro-Americans, the position he resumed on resigning from the army a few years ago. The major delivered a fine address to the American Missionary association at Oberlin Tuesday and was enroute home. During the McKinley campaign Prof. Wright was one of the speakers at the great army and navy hall meeting, many of our people will remember and over which the editor of The Gazette presided. The memorial service in honor of the late Bishop Arnett at St. James' church Sunday evening was a very interesting and impressive affair. There was a large audience in attendance. The exercises consisted of prayer by "Father" Adams and appropriate songs by the choir. The pastor made a short address on the life and character of the bishop. Miss Mabel Blue read an excellent paper on "The Value of a Noble Life," after which Mrs. Ashton, of Boston, sang a beautiful and touching solo. Mrs. Gussie Berry read a sketch of the life and public services of the bishop, which was followed by this beautiful song by the choir, "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?" The services left quite an impression on the congregation. The church will be draped in mourning for 30 days. Mrs. Lane, financial agent of Lane college, of Jackson, Tenn., who was in the city the past week soliciting funds for the rebuilding of the girls' dormitory which was burned about two years ago, paid The Gazette sanctum a very pleasant visit Monday afternoon. She was accompanied by Mrs. L. E. Shy. Mrs. Lane went to Buffalo from here and will return for the purpose of addressing a number of meetings to be held in the interest of her work. She is a graduate of LeMoyne institute, Memphis, and a school teacher of years exp. prior to college to pro- James Franklin Lane, a son of Bishop Lane, of the C. M. E. church, who is a member of the faculty of the college named in honor of his father. Mrs. Lane is a woman of exceptional qualities and is also the happy possessor of a charming simplicity. Household of Ruth No. 7's reception to Mrs. Louse Douglass, D. M. N. G. of the Households in the jurisdiction of Ohio district grand lodge, was a most enjoyable affair. The program: Invocation, Rev. Ira A. Collins; piano solo, Miss Florence Johnson; addresses, Mrs. Maggie Jones, M. N. G. of Household 1375; Rev. W. T. Maxwell and the editor of The Gazette; piano solo, Miss Johnson; remarks, Rev. Ira A. Collins and Nahum Brascher; paper, Miss Emma Williams, N. N. G. of H. R. No. 7; response, Mrs. Douglass; music, Miss Johnson; refreshments were served in the paper. Miss Emma Williams spoke highly of Douglass' dedication to her family, church and lodge, referring particularly to her efforts to relieve the sick and distressed. References to her long and continued efforts for Household of Ruth No. 7 elicited warm applause. "I believe that kind words and flowers should be given to the living as well as the dead," said Miss Williams, and she is right, too. "And so I charge ye by the throny crown, and by the cross on which our Savior joke, and by your own soul's hope of fat, renown, let me know," said Miss class' response was a very feeling one, which the audience appreciated greatly judging from the applause which followed.
