THE THE FASHION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY The Blouse In Its Latest Aspects. The battle of the dressmakers over the rival merits of the empire, the Directoire, or the princess styles has resulted, as such battles often do, in each army withdrawing within its borders, where it reigns supreme and follows its own bent. The princess robe has still many followers, but it cannot be denied that, even on an imbecile figure and cut by a master hand, the princess robe has a hard, still affect that is displeasing an aesthetic eye. Far more graceful are the long, sweeping lines of the modified empire or directoire styles which, while defining the beauty of the figure, yet leave something to the imagination, which is the secret of success in every art. hand disappears points of the velvet buttons. peliner folds a line of braid ished in front fastened by velvet robe has still many followers, but it cannot be denied that, even on an imbecile figure and cut by a master hand, the princess robe has a hard, still affect that is displeasing an aesthetic eye.

Far more graceful are the long, sweeping lines of the modified empire or directoire styles which, while defining the beauty of the figure, yet leave something to the imagination, which is the secret of success in every art. A description of one of these gowns seen displayed in one of the principal stores is worthy of a place here. The material of the dress was of very fine drape souple, or satin cloth, in the lovely mauve shade known as "elephant" grey, which is so much to the fore this season for those who appreciate quiet tones. The skirt was quite plain except for a band of cloth above the hem, which was cut into mitred tabs, piped with elephant grey velvet, each tab being adorned with a flat button of the same velvet. In front the normal place of the waist was marked by the pointed waist-band of velvet, much braided with a fine old-fashioned narrow silk braid in the same color; but the waist-band narrowed at each side, and rose high at the back, where the fulness of the skirt flowed out in graceful folds, and where the waist- For the Economical Woman of Fashion For the Economical Woman of Fashion The first thing to attend to in preparing the winter wardrobe is the cleaning and freshening of the dresses of last winter that were judged good enough to pack away in the spring, and the dyeing of the light gowns that have faded with the past summer's sun. Fashion changes so quickly that it is more economical to have light frocks turned into a color suitable for wearing out in winter than to lay them by for next summer, when they will be as likely as not too demodes to be worn. If the lining is removable, A Becoming Dressing Jacket. such dresses can usually be dyed whole. One of the very necessary additions to the woman's wardrobe of the winter, is the comfortable and easy dressing sacques or jackets. In our illustration we show one specially designed to be becoming and cosily warm while at the same time giving all the freedom of movement which is so necessary during the hair brushing process. One such garment might band disappeared under the crossed points of the pelerine, fastened by big velvet buttons. These shaped cape or pelerine folds were in cloth, with a line of braid between, they were finished in front with turn-back tabs fastened by velvet buttons, and they were cut very low both in front and behind to show a waistcoat of the grey velvet embroidered in gold and silver thread. This also was cut low before and behind over a chemisette of tucked lawn, with a double kilted frill, like that on the shirts of the dandles of a far-off generation, which adorned the front. The cloth elbow sleeves repeated the arrangement of the original bodice, with buttoned tabs above the lace frills, and a cuff of embroidered velvet below. One of the most obvious facts of fashion this year is the popularity of the three-quarter coat. In every shop window of the big stores it alluringly stretches its length, and I doubt not that it will find its purchasers by the hundreds. It appears in tweed, in cloth, in velvet, and is alike found quite tight fitting, or tight fitting at the back and semi-fitting in the front. Velvets and velvetteens are, we know, to reign supreme this winter, and charming waists and blouses will be made of these beautiful fabrics. A new kind of velvet, soft of surface as chiffon, but as firm of texture as Genoa velvet, is amongst the new autumn possibilities of the wealthy, but for the more frugal, velvetteens has amiably assumed a very soft and supple surface. be made of pale pink zenana, with appliques of lace threaded through with black velvet ribbon, while a second could be made of vijella, which will not shrink when washed. In the matter of coifure, the heads of the fashionable women are still running over with curls, real or artificial. As to which they are seems of little consequence, for every head is piled with curls in more or less unexpected places not always entirely logical; but what is logic in the face of fashion? In millinery, ostrich feathers figure largely for trimming decoration, and the feathers grow hourly almost in width and bulk—and price; the most prodigal style of millinery showing a monster specimen in green on a tucked or stitched silk shape. To quote an authority: "Fashion has gone fairly mad on fur"; at all the great houses one sees other garments pushed out of the way to make further space for the display of sables and sealskins, ermines and caracals, coats small and winsome, and coats long and luxurious. One would think from these last we were going to have an Arctic winter, till one remembered that it is the motor, with its whiz through the air, that calls for these extras. Throw-over ties are less worn now. Muffs are made very large to suit the short-sleeved gowns that foolish fashion still requests women to wear. The newest sort of big muff is not stiffened, but is more like an oval-shaped sack, into which the arms, bare save for their gloves, can be easily thrust up to the elbow; while owing to the same softness of make, if the full size of the muff is not required, it crushes or wrinkles up on the arm to the desired dimensions. Tails are placed on muffs as trimming when the same decoration is used on the collar that the muff will accompany. The harmonious blending of furs and laces is also most fashionable. It is becoming to the last degree, and no better way of displaying a fine bit of old rose or Brussels point can be found than to set it at the throat of a seal, sable, or chinchilla cape; while a corresponding flounce can edge the bottom of the garment if available.

Shows Clearly Why Ben Tillman Should Not be Brought to Cleveland by Public School Teachers. SPECIAL. Cleveland, O.—Announcement has been made that the lecture engagement of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, which was to have been filled in the teachers' course in this city Dec. 19, has been canceled. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, has been selected to fill the engagement and will appear Dec. 11. When it was announced about two weeks ago that Senator Tillman had been engaged to appear at the teachers' lecture course, representative Afro-American citizens protested against the appearance on the platform in Cleveland. Later it was stated that if the senator did appear he would be muzzled and that no phase of the race question would receive his attention. It was supposed that this stipulation was not satisfactory to Senator Tillman. Port Clinton, O., Nov. 14, 1906. Hon. H. C. Smith. Editor Gazette: EDW. D. DEAN, Rector of St. Thomas'. AMERICA'S TRAGEDY OF COLOR. Each Educated Negro Called an Ambassador to Civilization. Whatever America has to show in heroic living today, I doubt if she can show anything finer than the quality of the resolve, the steadfast effort hundreds of black and colored men GAZETTE. are making today to live blamelessly, honorably, and patiently, getting for themselves what scraps of refinement, learning and beauty they may, keeping their hold on civilization they are grudged and denied. They do it not for themselves only, but for all their race, says Harper's Weekly. Each educated colored man is an ambassador to civilization. They know they have a handicap, but they are not exceptionally brilliant or clever people. Yet every such man stands, one like to think, aware of his representative and vicious character, fighting against foul imaginations, misrepresentations, injustice, insult and the cruel manners of base antagonists. Every one who keeps decent and honorable does a little to heat that opposition down. But the patience the Negro needs! He may not even look contempt. He must admit superiority in those whose daily conduct to him is the clearest evidence of moral inferiority. We sympathetic whites, indeed, may claim honor for him; if he is wise he will be silent under our advocacy. He must go to and fro self-controlled, be reef of all the qualities that the great flag of America proclaims—that flag for whose united empire his people fought and died, giving place and precedence to the strangers ignorant even of its tongue. That he must do and wait. The Welsh, the Irish, the Poles, the white south, the indefatigable Jews may cherish grievances and trail aloud. He must keep still. They may be hysterical, revengeful, threatening and perverse; their wrongs excuse them. For him there is no excuse. And of all the races upon earth, which has suffered such wrongs as this Negro blood that is still imputed to him as a sin? These people who disdain him, who have no sense of reparation towards him, have sinned against him beyond all measure. CASE OF MURDER. Hon. W. R. Stewart the Defendant's Attorney—Children's Surprise—A Sad Death—Personal Mention. Youngstown, O.—Will E. Saunder's brother, who had been ill in the hospital, while enroute home from there recently, wandered miles into the country after taking the wrong street car, and died as a result of exposure. It was a very sad case—Miss Dora Johnson, formerly Norwalk representative of The Gazette, who has been teaching in the south for several years, is residing with Dr. Consuela Clark Stewart. She is an expert stenographer. Hon. W. R. Stewart spent several days in Mercer, Pa., this week representing an Italian charged with murder. The case was on trial Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Wm. R. Stewart, of 522 North avenue, a Hallowe'en birthday surprise party Friday evening, Nov. 2. The youngsters were white sheets over their shoulders, white masks over their faces, and carried Jack-o-lanterns in their hands. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing old-fashioned parlor games. Refreshments were served at 9 o'clock by the hostess, Dr. Consuela Clark Stewart, assisted by Miss Dora Johnson, Mrs. Geo. Lucas and Mrs. T. D. Berry. The merry party dispersed at 10 o'clock.

Dismissing the Troops. Washington, D. C.—Arrangements are making at the war department for the execution of the order for the discharge of three companies of the 25th infantry who were at Fort Brown, Tex. Each separate certificate shows that the man named was discharged without honor by special order of the president, and recites the reasons therefore. Sympathy is expressed for many of the Afro-American soldiers and non-commissioned officers who are affected for the reason that they have been between 30 and 40 years old. They were awarded credibly in campaigns against the Indians and in Cuba and the Phillippines. Some of these very soldiers helped to save the lives of Col. Roosevelt and his “Rough Riders” in Cuba.

Porter, of this city, petitioned Judge Holt to revoke the licenses of five or six hotel keepers in New Brighton and this place on the ground that they had refused lodging to Afro-Americans. On the 25th ult. the court ordered all the cases dismissed on the ground that there had been no refusals proved as indicated in the petition, but in the cases of three hotel proprietors, assessed the costs of the legal proceedings. Judge Holt also concurred in the opinions of other judges throughout the state, that hotel and restaurant keepers have no lawful right to disclaim against any decent well-behaved person on account of their race; and that they (the judges) will refuse to renew the license of any person who willfully violates such rights. Regardless of the outcome of Mr. Porter's petition, he and his close friend, Mr. Frank McDonald, leaders among our people in this section of Pennsylvania, scored a distinct victory which will have influence for good along a citizenenl's line. In conclusion Judge Holt said that it would be a good thing for all hotel keepers to fully comply with the law and entertain all strangers and travelers who are decent and orderly, without regard to their race or color. Good for Judge Holt. THE 'YELLOW' JOURNALISM Of Many Daily Newspapers in North and South Very Hurtful to Our Race Especially. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The following excellent communication was sent all local daily publications recently by leading men. It is self-explanatory: Dear Sir; I have read with much pleasure and gratification your strong and many editorial in the Sun of recent date—"Bad Excuses for Evil Conduct." The unvarnished truth should not hurt anybody, north or south, white or black, and many of the troubles of today can be truthfully charged up against yellow journalism, which played a very important part in the troubles in Atlanta. If they would only read history with their eyes, and not with their prejudices. You have certainly taken a strong stand for a "square deal," and will make many friends for the Sun among the colored people of Pittsburgh, who are law-abiding and helping to uplift the human family, and not trying to destroy the church, home and country. It is no longer a question of party, or race, whether he be a republican or democrat, but it is the individual with honest and sincere motives that counts today, as exemplified in Mayor Guthrie, who is giving every man a "square deal" that may help to save the world, a pledge of doing their own blinding. I shall take great pleasure in bringing this editorial to the attention of the leading members of the race. Hoping that the Sun may always shine, and give us the truth, praise us when we deserve it, and censure us when we do wrong, I am.

Dunn is dying and Stewart is in jail. Dunn entered a restaurant and found all the chairs occupied. Going over to Stewart, he ordered him to give up his seat, saying, "This is no colored restaurant. We were elected by a proprietor, but we were renewed in the street and Dunn got what he went after, poor fool." 2 One Year. $150 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- ence money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898. 1896 to 1898. 1890 to 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We are glad to say that the Rev. J. G. Snedicor, mentioned editorially in a recent issue of this paper, is a white man and not an Afro-American. We are indebted to a friend in the south, who is in a position to know, for this information. The school board (white) of New Orleans recently raised the salaries of all the white teachers in the public schools of that city. Even those who teach in the Afro-American schools were included in the raise, while every Afro-American teacher was refused an increase. This is the limit. Contemptible! It should not be forgotten these days that the secretary of war is an Ohioan, the Hon. William H. Taft, of Cincinnati. What kind of a member of the U. S. supreme court or president of the United States would he make, from a race viewpoint? The dismissal of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry was hatched up in his department and submitted to the president for the endorsement too readily given it. If the latter does not right the wrong before congress convenes there will be something "doing," with another and a very different Ohioan at the helm—the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, the "Buckeye state" senior senator. The man who made the "welkin ring" in Cincinnati, on the Atlanta horror, and more recently in Chattanooga, Tenn., can and will stir up the "dry bones" at Washington, D. C., this winter, if necessary. The despicable methods resorted to by prejudiced Chicago newspapers and persons to defeat Judge-elect F. L. Barnett at the recent election are characteristic of the most prejudiced sections of the south and are true indications of the advance and inroads made in the north by such enemies of the race as Tillman, Dixon, Vardaman, Graves and their miserable kind. The efforts of the Chicago Examiner and Evening Post since election to stir up feeling along a prejudiced line for the purpose of inducing Mr. Barnett to retire from the post of honor to which he was recently elected are additional indications. One democratic candidate for a six years' term as municipal judge who was defeated, received 1,500 more votes than did Mr. Barnett, who received the lowest vote of all the associate justices-elect. This is about the only thing the papers advance in addition to the fact that Mr. Barnett is an Afro-American, in favor of what they are insisting upon. There is, however, no danger of his doing any such foolish thing. On the contrary, he insists that he will serve the people have elected him for, and Chief Justice-elect Olson, of Chicago's municipal court, declares that all complaints against Mr. Barnett will be of no avail; that they will not effect his assignment or that of any other associate justice, and that he will assign all of them, including Mr. Barnett of course, as best he can in view of his long acquaintance with many of them. Good! THE PRESIDENT AND OUR SOLDIERS The president has acted with his characteristic precipitateness in discharging offhand and without honor on his own authority and without pretense of trial or conviction, an entire battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, a colored regiment with an admirable record for discipline and which has done as much and as hard fighting, for 40 years and in two hemispheres, as any regiment in the service. The men are not only dismissed in disgrace, but are disqualified for holding hereafter any military or civil position in the government service. This would be a severe penalty to be inflicted upon any prisoner, civil or military, after that trial to which all offenders are entitled; yet it has been visited upon a whole battalion of soldiers for the offense of a mere handful, and with no pretense of a trial for any. It is admitted that a handful of those soldiers, acting under no real provocation, started a deadly riot at Brownsville, Tex., and that when the matter was investigated every man in the regiment refused to reveal the guilty ones or to throw any light on the subject. There was apparently a "conspiracy in silence" to protect the culprits. Doubless the offense was grave and deserving of severe punishment; yet men, many of them in the service, are punished and disgraced. The officers had suddenly had no hand and to a great extent no knowledge, except mere hearth. Even if they did refuse to tell what they knew they were within their rights, since the inspector who made the investigation could have assumed no judicial functions, and to be THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 1906. in contempt of him would have been impossible. The president's action was unprecedented and the penalty too severe, unless all the men had been actors in the riot or accomplices before the fact. Moreover, the penalty should have been imposed by "due process of law," and there was no trial and no legal investigation which serve as a basis of a civil indictment, or, probably, of charges that would hold before a court-martial, in spite of the wide latitude allowed to the latter tribunal. Gulity knowledge on the part of all hands would have to be merely assumed. In the meantime no action has been or is likely to be taken against the officers, who have invariably been held responsible in the past for such exhibitions of lax discipline. When a mob of white soldiers from Walla Walla stormed a jail a few years ago and lynched a prisoner charged with murdering a soldier, the entire garrison was not dishonorably discharged, but the war department put the responsibility where it obviously belonged and has always belonged, before and since, until this last affair, upon the post commander and others charged with enforcing discipline, not once in a while, but for every minute. In the Walla Walla case it was the post commander who was made to suffer, not of the crime of the soldiers, but for his own misdeeds, them to get so hopelessly out of hand. Fort Brown where was the officer of the guard or the officer of the day? Unless there is some pretense of calling to account the officers who have never escaped responsibility, discipline in the army will become a sham and the "square deal" something like a byword.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. We endorse every sentence of the above editorial, except the opening one of the second paragraph. The men acted under real provocation and in defense of their lives. This has been thoroughly established and published repeatedly in the press of the country. What makes the action of the president in this case especially and particularly aggravating to the great mass of our people the country over, is the knowledge of the facts that it is an undeserved and unmerited triumph of southern prejudice against our people, especially the Afro-American soldier, and also that among the men dismissed from the army "without honor" are those all innocent of any connection with the Brownsville affair, who have spent 30 and 40 years in the service, and some who were among those who saved the lives of Col. Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" on a memorable occasion in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Here is another opportunity for our several alleged national organizations. Negro Honor and Army Disgrace. In degrading a whole NEGro battalion in the army because some of its members were criminal and disorderly and some others refused to volunteer testimony against them, President Roosevelt has done an unjust thing. We are not especially concerned about it, because the more the autocratic character of army life over private soldiers is disclosed and the less army life is preserved in the real degradation, the better. But here is an interesting case. Such members of the battalion as knew of the alleged crime would have been forced to testify as witnesses; but what the president demanded was that they should trot up to headquarters and volunteer tales which, if volunteered by one commissioned officer with reference to another not under his command, would have brought him into contempt. And because some members of the army may have known did not tell, President Roosevelt dismisses the whole battalion in disgrace. These Negroes are to be congratulated upon being put out of the man-killing trade, but President Roosevelt is hardly to be congratulated upon his ideas of fair play as exemplified in this case—Chicago Public. Encouraging. Relative to a lynching in that state the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser said recently: The shame consisted in the fact that we have a well established code of laws, an honest judiciary and law officers whose duty it is to enforce the law. The mad dog loose is a common enemy liable to untold damage. The Mobile prisoners who were lynched were not free, but bound strong and fast. They were in charge of the officers of the law. The court was ready to try them and they would surely have paid the penalty which attaches to their crime. It was a shame upon Mobile and the court that the law was not allowed to take its place, and the police could have had no apology to make if this had been done, whereas now we are subject to reproach and condemnation. Mob law is a crime and those who engage in mobs are criminals." Three Afro-Americans Elected. Chicago, Ill.-At the recent election Mr. Oscar DePriest was re-elected county commissioner, Dr. Alexander Lane was elected a member of the legislature, and E. L. Barnett, Esq. assistant state's attorney, was elected a municipal judge for two years. Mr. Barnett said a few days ago: "When, after the cases are assigned, I find that anybody has a distinct prejudice against being tried by a Negro I shall grant him a change of venue," he said. "It merely is a question of race prejudice, and I don't blame anybody for such feelings, as I don't suppose that they can help them. I do not believe, however, that such feelings should interfere with me in the discharge of my duties. A negro or a white person will get justice in my court the same as he would elsewhere." Postmaster Horner: Prof. Chas. D. Horner, of Cincinnati, former principal of our school at Newport, Ky., now principal of an Indian school at Tuba, Arizona, has been appointed postmaster of that school. His position does not interfere with his duties as principal of the school but adds materially to his salary. Do You Know the Gossetts?

Caused by Female Disorders and Cured by Lydia E. Pikhanka's Vegetable Compound A great many women suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary treatment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary intestinal disease the medicalian usually prescribed do not seem to restore the patient's normal condition. Mrs. M. Wright Mrs. M. Wright Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes a disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but also causes a tonic effect on the female organism.

He addressed a large gathering of colored people at Ypsilanti last evening in a ‘most effective manner and aroused his listeners to a high pitch of en thusiasm.” Mr. Johnson returned to the olty Tuesday trom Detroit. _ Amateur night will be observed each Friday night at the Empire thea ter, Cleveland, O., at the conclusion of the regular performance.

Doan (white), of Port Clinton, a former pastor of St. An- drew’s mission, this city, continues as ‘one of the race's aggressive and good friends. Read his article on Page 1, anent the advertised Tillman lecture. In our judgment it strikes at the very root of the matter. Why do our pub- Me school teachers persist in refusing to send a committee from among their number to confer with Prof. Wel- mer, of the Central high school, and his committee of the Teachers’ Insti- tute lecture course? Ask them as you meet them. Writing letters to people easy of access in the same city, in a matter of this kind, is an indication of lack of courage to face them, to say the least. Many of our teachers have course tickets to all the institute lec. tures’ and concerts. Do they want to hear Tillman abuse the race in his lecture or in interviews published in the daily papers which these latter will hasten to secure as soon as he ar. rives at the hotel in this city, and which the Teachers’ Institute lecture course committee will have no right ‘or power to prevent the giving or pub: Heatfon of? The free advertising in the local dailies already given, and most ill advisedly, too, have made certain and sure the aforementioned ‘Tillman interviews, just as made clear in Rev. Doan's communication. Even a ‘knowledge of this fact seems insu. ficient to move our teachers to proper action. A sad commentary indeed on their boasted intelligence, self and race pride, womanhood and courage which we sincerely trust they will per- | mit to stand not a day longer.
