THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 19. Fashion's Modes and Moods THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Two Handsome Gowns For Evening Wear. The modes of the present season, as known to the multitude, allow of so much attitude and admit of such scope for the exercise of individual taste and ingenuity, that it is the woman of imagination, tempered by knowledge, who triumphs. Although it is practically a case of choose as you will, certain unbreakable rules must be observed. For example, self-respecting sleeves exhibit a degree of fulness at the shoulder, a square effect being achieved, when necessary, by means of a small crescent-shaped pad inserted between the lining and the material at the top the arm. Such cuffs as obtain on dress bodices and blouses are tightly fitting, and reach to the elbow; in addition they boast a number of diminu-time buttons which serve the dual purpose of use and ornament. Skirts are long and clinging and a critical survey of the outline of the really well dressed woman possessed of legitimate claims to elegance, causes the uninitiated to wonder where she bestows her petticoats and to question whether she has not done away with them altogether as superfluous accessories. As I write the question of millinery is exercising the feminine mind to an unwonted extent. Despite the undeniable becomingness of the cachepigne, and the bandeau at the side which lifts the hat to the desired an- gle and invests its weight of coquetry, to forth in Paris that ruthlessly abolished, the average woman is the Frenchwoman's this respect, and it time and much heart she can reconcile her customed mode, and trustful attitude which maintains toward a nature her, for instance in a wide-brimmed hat, the size of a snake a soft, creamy tone, the a soft, creamy tone wreathed with somes and character leaves. It is essential, for plotting of prevalent sider. To this end the devised combinations which are firmly be manner of a stay, the well up to the bustu to below the hips, so is compressed into the compass.

There is as much variety in the styles for the street costume as for those for indoors, and the tailor made suits are if anything displaying more taste and elegance than ever before. American Matches in Scotland A kilted Highlander was in the habit of walking to the nearest town—six miles off—for his provisions. Having on one occasion purchased some matches, he found on his return home that they were useless. On his next visit to town he took them back and complained to the grocer's assistant that they would not light. The latter, taking one, drew it in American fashion across his nether gle and invests its wearer with a suggestion of coquetry, the flat has gone forth in Paris that both are to be ruthlessly abolished. Unfortunately, the average woman is not gifted with the Frenchwoman's adaptability in this respect, and it takes her some time and much heart searching ere she can reconcile herself to an unacustomed mode, and shake off the distrustful attitude which she invariably maintains toward a new fashion. Picture her, for instance, venturing out in a wide-brimmed hat of unstiffened felt, the size of a small umbrella, in a soft, creamy tone, the crown wreath a soft, creamy tone, the crown wreathed with monster magnolia blossoms and characteristic bronze-red leaves. It is essential, for the proper exploiting of prevalent styles, to be slender. To this end the staymakers have devised combinations of woven silk which are firmly boned, after the manner of a stay, the bones reaching well up to the bust and continuing to below the hips, so that the body is compressed into the least possible compass. In our larger fashion plate are shown two evening gowns, the one in pale gray velvet, the other in soft pink satin; embroidered lace traced with palettes and plain chiffon do their duty as trimming. Fashion has decreed that velvet shall be worn and many of the out-of-doors costumes will be made of this material, in fact, a more comfortable feeling or comfortable looking cloth could not be found. In matter of coats the three-quarter length seems to be most in vogue, and all are collarless, although this question, so long in eyewear, is being raised in the fashion centers of Paris and London. After having had our coats and cloaks collarless now-for a good number of years, even in the depth of winter, it has occurred to some of the big furriers in Paris to raise the question of the wisdom of such a fashion and whether it would not be well to revive the high Medics collar once more. Personally, I should hail the return of the Medics or storm collar to our fur garments with joy, for not only did it protect the back of the head and neck, which is one of the most sensitive portions of the human frame, and the one most accessible to neuroglia, but also it framed the face in the most bewitching fashion. But the mere idea of the revival has raised shrieks of opposition from many fair Parisiannelles, who declare that the high collar rumps the hair, though why it should do so, when the hair is invariably worn drawn up to the top of the head, and the Medics collar is always cut to stand out at the top and leave the head free, is difficult to explain logically. Every revival or innovation, however, is nearly always greeted with shrieks of protest by one section or another of the feminine community. garments, and the match lit. But this demonstration, instead of satisfying the Highlander, angered him the more. "And who," he exclaimed, "is going to travel 12 mile to light the matches on your breeks?" Meant to Get the Votes.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1906. FORAKER! Our Senator to the Rescue of FT. RENO SOLDIERS. Rattles Senatorial "Drybones" and Wipes Out an Obsolete Custom—Penrose. Washington, D. C.—The feature of the congressional opening Monday afternoon was a sharp challenge by Senator Foraker of President Roosevelt's act of arrest and the American soldiers at Ft. Reno. As the senator states the question, it is "whether or not a man can be convicted of felony by order and whether, following such a conviction, sentence may be imposed and punishment inflicted by order." Scarcely had the formalities accompanying the opening of the session been disposed of before Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, was on his feet to offer his resolution. The chair called attention to the custom that no business should be transacted until the president had been officially heard from Penrose insisted. When he was informed that the rules stood in the way he asked unanimous consent that his resolution be received and read, which was done. It was a brief, perfunctory document, requesting the president "if not incompatible with the public service" to communicate to the senate facts in connection with the discharge of the troops. Before the reading of the rather weak Penrose resolution was completed Senator Foraker jumped to his feet to offer a resolution, for which he considered as substitute for the one assistance by Penrose. The Foraker and directors of the committee, and directors of the secretary of the Senate, the complete official record in the case, together with similar cases, if there have been any, and a complete history of the Twenty-fifth regiment. It was read on the suggestion of Aldrich, of Oregon Island. As Senator Warren, of Wyoming, chairman of the committee on military affairs, objected, both resolutions went over for consideration later in the week. It is said that the weak Penrose resolution was inspired by friends of the president to anticipate a strong resolution such as that offered by Senator Foraker, and that its adoption is sought in order that in making a report the president may address a communication to the senate in which he may explain and justify, if possible, his drastic action. Under the Foraker resolution no communication from the president is called for. There may be directly over the resolutions, involving a debate with variousatures. Senator Foraker is known to be prepared and anxious to speak in support of his resolution, which is apparently framed to show whether, in issuing his orders, the president did not attempt to exercise judicial as well as executive functions. After adjournment Monday afternoon Senator Foraker was besieged by newspaper representatives and finally gave out an interview regarding his resolution. He said: "The resolution speaks for itself. I have no purpose of raising the race question. The question involved is broader. It would be unfortunate to have it narrowed by drawing a color line. It concerns white as well as colored soldiers. It's a question of constitutional power on the one hand and constitutional and statutory rights on the other. Until we have a complete record I do not know just what questions will arise, but we may have to consider whether or not a man can be convicted of felony by order and whether, following such a conviction, sentence may be imposed and punishment inflicted by order. We may be granted where they are not banded on an offense against the law of the land, the commission of which is denied, and where no punishment follows; but where there is conviction, sentence and punishment, I have always supposed that there would also have to be trial in a civil court or in a court martial or before some other tribunal thereunto duly appointed by the law. But it is idle to discuss any of these questions until we know whether they are raised by the record." AGAIN "UP TO TEDDY." That is Where that Soldier Matter is—Attorney Gilchrist Stewart Talks. El Reno, Ok.—"Here goes the last of the best drilled, best behaved, and best regulated battalion in the United States army," said Major Penrose, (white) of the Twenty-fifth infantry, as the last of the members of the outraged companies, B, C, D, were mustered out of the service on Monday of last week. "Is that statement for publication?" was asked him. "It certainly is, and I will vouch for it anywhere, backed by my army record," he replied. "I will add that there was but little evidence to convict these brave men. No court in the world would consider the charges seriously." In the evening Major Clark and the battalion left for Texas. In the final act of the sad drama the officers at Fort Reno seemed more affected than were the men. Especially was this so in the case of Captain Lyons, of Company D. in blinding the men good-by the officer manifested consid- GAZETTE. erable emotion, and more pairs of eyes than his were wet when the parting words were said. Major Penrose expressed warm indorsement of the men's deportment and good conduct. Evidence for Appeal. Gilchrist Stewart, the attorney, left last week Tuesday for Washington with innumerable affidavits and copies of orders. He stated that six of the sergeants of the three companies would accompany him and be present when the appeal is made to the president. In the meantime, the other men have scattered out, some to Chicago, some to New York, but their addresses are all known. Mr. Stewart stated also that private detectives who have been operating at Brownville, Tex., and vicinity have discovered strong evidence that the soldiers were not involved in the trouble. "The substance of my investigation, supported by over 100 affidavits from the members and non commissioned officers of the companies, to this." That the citizens did not want Negro soldiers in Brownville. "2. The that feeling became so intense that on the very night in question Major Penrose issued an order and sent our patrols through the town that all men should be in by 8 o'clock, whether on pass or not, and Captain Mackin, officer of the day, reported that all men were in except three on pass. 3. That the firing that night was of mixed arms. Prejudiced Against Troops. "All the inspectors sent out from the war department have started out with the assumption that there was a conspiracy among the men to keep back the truth and shoot up the town. They have never made any investigation into real facts. From the investigation there was undoubtedly a conspiracy to make a case against the soldiers and get them out of the town. Six sergeants of long service and in whom the commissioned officers have implicit confidence, are going to Washington with me to act as witnesses before President Roosevelt." LIAR AND COWARD! Ben Tillman Given a "Hot Time" in the "Windy City." Chicago, Ill.-At one time toward the end of Tillman's alleged lecture last week, he was interrupted by a disturbance in the gallery. Isadore Gordon, a Russian cigarmaker, leaned over the balcony, and, shaking his fist, shouted: "You are not stating facts, you coward. Every one here knows that you lie." For a moment Tillman hesitated. Policemen Tynan and O'Brien made their way to the angry disturber and despite his struggles he was lifted bodily from his seat and carried out. While the policemen were struggling with Gordon, Eugene F. Manns, an Afro-American plumber, leaned on his seat to the rear of the gallery and started to hiss. Before he was reached by the police several persons in the gallery attempted to strike him, but he warded off their blows until he was rescued. When searched at the Harrison street station a huge piece of lead pipe was found in his possession. Several steel bolts also were taken away from him. "I went to the hall expecting to see a disturbance," said Gordon. "I would like to have seen a shot fired that would launch Tillman floating skyward. Had it not been for the strong police force Tillman undoubtedly have been shot at. He came here only to stir air race hatred and the bomb is not too good for such as he." Manns and Gordon were placed in a cell at the Harrison street station and were charged with attempting to incite a riot. The San Juan Hill Charge. Seattle, Wash.—"President Roosevelt (then Col. Roosevelt) did not lead the charge up San Juan Hill, but was seven miles away at Kettle Hill at the time of the charge. Brig. Gen. Charles H. Noble, the acting major of the Tenth regiment, was senior officer in command of the historic charge. There would be considerable disillusionment among the people of the United States if the facts of that campaign were known." Gen. Noble made the foregoing statement upon arriving here recently from Ft. Stewart, Alaska, from the command of which he had been retired by age. He also said: "Roosevelt did not lead that any more than I did. There have been a lot of foolish things written about the charge, but it was the Tenth regiment that captured it. We did not see anything of Roosevelt. He was on a little hill called Kettle Hill several miles away. I was senior officer of the regiment at the time, and when we made the charge we saw nothing of Roosevelt or his cavalry." The privates and noncommissioned officers of the Tenth Cavalry regiment were and are Afro-Americans. Hon. Harry C. Smith, the talented and manly editor of the Cleveland Ohio, Gazette, will please accept our suceeer thanks for a copy of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker's, "Army of the Cumberland" speech in pamphlet form. Foraker, Smith and Ohio, all three stand for manhood, and our wish is that they may never lag in their crusade for right along each and every line. Smith has all along said that Senator Foraker was a true American and since his Chattanooga speech we are fully aware that the Gazette editor knew where he was speaking—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Here is what the Cleveland Leader thinks of our people: "Senator Tillman certainly deserves to be called 'ornery.' He even shakes his pitchfork at the president for ordering the dismissal of a battalion of Negro soldiers." OUROW WRITERS Middletown. — Miss Bessie Jones and Mrs. L. M.

The Cleveland Gazette would rather see Senator J. B. Foraker nominated for president than any other man in public life—Detroit Informer. The very worst feature about the race hatred which Senator Tillman and those associated with him are preaching is its un-Americanism, its cowardice and its pandering to vile passions and prejudices—Washington (D. C.) National Tribune. It was left to a democratic mayor, Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, to snub Senator Tillman in a way that would hurt. In refusing to welcome Tillman in the name of Chicago, Mayor Dunne showed that he had a conscience and a heart, too, in the right place—Houston (Tex.) Freeman. The National Association of Colored Base Ball clubs of the United States and Cuba has been organized by the Philadelphia Giants, of that city, the Cuban X Gians, Cuban Giants and the Royal Giants, of New York; the Royal Giants, of Brooklyn, and the Cuban Stars, of Havana, Cuba. James W. Mars, of Brooklyn, N. Y., 86 years of age, one of the best known and wealthiest members of the race in the east, died recently. Its father started the first movement in this country for the freedom of slaves at York, Pa., in 1818. For 47 years he was an employee of the Continental and Hanover National banks of New York City. For the first time in all the history of New Orleans our people have open to them a show house in which they can see the offerings of the theatrical companies without having to take to the galleries of the show houses. The Elysium, now under a new management, affords all the accommodations desired, including parquette, boxes, balconies and galleries. Recently a large brick building at 1400 Missouri avenue, East St. Louis, which was purchased by the board of education for an Afro-American school, was destroyed by fire, and there is evidence that prejudice against the establishment, of such a school in that vicinity caused the building to be set on fire. The destruction of this building makes the second leased for a school that has been burned within the past two weeks. It is our plain, obvious duty which it were criminal to neglect. Senator Tillman and his like are wicked, cowardly demagogs who are conspiring not only against the good of the country, but against all Christianity and immorality. They are confessing themselves cowardly and incompetent in advocating mu.der and treatment instead of rigid and thor application of the laws of the land, which can be made sufficient for every evil of which they complain.—National Tribune. When asked concerning the inquiry of the war department as to an alleged interview accredited to him on the character of the troops discharged at Fort Reno, Major Penrose said: "The statements accredited to me which appeared in Washington are unqualified falsehoods, inasmuch as I never appeared in an attitude of criticism relative to the discharge of these troops. I have criticised the department on no occasion and gave out no statement of such a character." The major has made this report to Washington—Texas Freeman. Mrs. Lucretia J. Tilton, of Chicago, who died recently, left Tuskegee, Ala., normal and industrial school $20,000. Andrew Carnegie's shoes are made at this institution. Principal Booker T. Washington also said in a recent speech in the east that 2,000 bricks were made by students last year; that there are 1,500 scholars from 36 states and 12 foreign countries; that the institute property is worth $800,000 and that its endowment amounts to $1,500,000. Hampton institute was also remembered by Mrs. Tilton. The Freeman believes that politics is at the bottom of President Roosevelt's dealing with the colored soldiers, and that at a time he has already set he will step in and play to the finish his trump card, the finale being the springing of Taft for the presidential nomination in 1908. Seeing the Negroes' preference for Foraker and their aversion to him or anything Rooseveltian, and the strength that Foraker, Cummins, of Iowa, and others, will possibly develop ere the national convention, he seeks to have Taft play the star performance in this soldier issue.—Texas Freeman. In no manner could a man bring down bitterer enmity upon himself than by going into the south and attempting to take away any large number of Negroes, thus depriving planters and others of sorely-needed labor. Such being the case, how absolutely wicked and senseless it is for men like Tillman, who assume to be bending over the grave, to trench violence and wrench toward these humble and useful laborers and to continually disturb the country with preachments of race war. It is so egregious, wicked, humane and fatuous that it is difficult to maintain temper in discussing it.—National Tribune.

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. Oklahoma's democratic color line constitution is going to get her into trouble before she is declared a state if the president still believes in the "square deal" his message makes one feel he continues to hold dear. The Washington (D. C.) National Tribune, organ of the veterans of the war of the rebellion, says the president has the right to discharge, for a reason, any man in the employment of the government, and he was clearly within his legal powers in the drastic order against three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry. "Teddy" has stirred up a "hornet's nest" in California and "a tempest in a tea-pot" in Maryland and a few other southern states, as a result of his strong talk in his message anent the Japanese-San Francisco school international muddle. The south sees its old time hobby of "state's rights" kicked good and hard by the president, and California, its racial prejudice. Prejudiced whites at San Antonio, Tex., added insult to injury last Saturday by ordering to leave the town at once the twelve Afro-Americans of the Twenty-fifth infantry who had been confined in the jail there on a charge of participating in the Brownsville riot, and were liberated as a result of President Roosevelt's outrageous order to "discharge without honor" companies B, C and D. As an excuse for this spiteful and summary action, they manufactured stories of burglaries and hold-ups, and charged Afro-Americans with the crimes. "Mighty small business," but characteristic of the prejudiced individuals of that section. We are told on good authority that the alleged murder of one and wounding of another in the Brownsville riot was only a like story with a similar purpose—to get rid of the three Afro-American companies stationed at Ft. Brown, Tex—those finally "discharged without honor" by the president. While their intentions were good, it was simply a waste of time for Messrs. Charles W. Anderson, of New York City, and Emmet J. Scott, of Tuskegee, Ala., to call on the president with a view to securing a modification of his now notorious "discharge without honor" order, without the new evidence he insists upon. The only person who is in a position to furnish this is Attorney Glychrist Stewart, of New York City, and Messrs. Anderson and Scott knew this; also, that if any progress at all is to be made, he is the one to secure it. All is now dependent upon Mr. Stewart's labors last week and the week previous among the members of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Ft. Reno, Okla. In a communication from him received a few days ago, he assures us that he has all the "new evidence" any fair-minded person would want in order to clear the soldiers of the charges brought against them. "Who will be Ohio's candidate for the presidency in 1908?" was asked in Washington, D. C., on Monday. Chairman of the state republican executive committee, Senator Chas. Dick's reply was that he could not answer that. Chairman asked then If Senator Foraker could get the Ohio delegation to the next republican national convention. "He can if he wants it," answered Senator Dick Senator Deck. And thus did he truly answer the first question. Ohio has and will have but one candidate for the presidency, until the close of the next national republican convention, and that one her distinguished senior United States senator, Joseph Benson Foraker, the next president of the United States. He will "trim" democracy's candidate, W. J. Bryan, as easy as he did Ben Tillman in the senate last winter and he is "after" the commander in chief of the army and navy, now, for his unfortunate and distressing mistake in "discharging without honor" those three Afro-American companies at Ft. Reno. The president was misled into it by designing and prejudiced war department officials and army officers. Rah! for Foraker! Recently a $26,000,000 surplus was divided among the stockholders of the Puliman Car Company. A goodly portion of this vast sum is undoubtedly THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1906. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. While President Roosevelt's treatment of lynching, mob violence and other matters of racial interest, in his message to the congress Tuesday is especially strong, there are a few very hurtful and wrong impressions made by it. His statement that "the greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by black men, of the hideous crime of rape" is not borne out by annual lynching statistics, and is not true. It is unintentional libel of the entire race, north and south, and hurts and will continue to do so for years to come because it is a presidential endorsement of a southern reiteration that has been industriously circulated by prejudiced persons for years, and too, in the face of destructive statistical facts, with a view to its ultimate acceptance and belief upon the accept of the entire country. Now the president gives it place in his message, and the fight to make the people of this country see and recognize the truth as shown in the statistical facts destroying the vitally injurious reiteration must go on with redoubled vigor from now on. In the paragraph following the one containing the sentence quoted above, the president has the following contradictory statement: "Two-thirds of the lynchings (of Afro-Americans) are for rape at all." This is true, but the harm has been done. Equality hurtful and untrue are the southern charge that our people, north or south, harbor their criminals. Equally unfortunate is the president's giving it place in his message. We are no more prone to this sort of thing than are other classes of Americans and it is wrong, particularly so for the president, to even give out indirectly an opposite impression. Every month more crimes of rape are committed by white brutes in the large cities of the country than are charged to Afro-Americans in an entire year. Why create the impression that it is a crime peculiarly the Afro-Americans? Yet this is exactly what the president has unintentionally done by his imperfect treatment of the subject. If we had an opportunity we would change and read to him a portion of a paragraph of his message substituting the word "white" for that of "colored," in order that we might thoroughly impress him with another fact which he seems to overlook. and that will appear after a careful reading of the following changed excerpt from his message: "Every white man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the white criminal, and above all the white criminal who commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offense against the whole country and against the white race in particular, for a white man to fail to help the officers of the law in hunting down with all possible earnestness and zeal every such infamous offender." The president is especially strong in his indorsement of industrial education in the following sentence: "Of course, the best type of education for the colored man, taken as a whole, is such education as is conferred in schools like Hampton and Tuskegee, where the boys and girls, the young men and women are trained industrially as well as in the ordinary public school branches." He is especially severe in his condemnation of "inflammatory and incendiary speeches and writings" of anarchistic southern demogogues like Ben Tillman, Jim Vardaman, Tom Dixon, Jack Graves, Hoke Smith and their ilk. His argument in favor of the public school for all in the south, "free of the proportioned to the taxes" nonsense advocated in some of its states, is especially timely and strong and we trust will have great effect for good.

One Man Froze to Death and Another Was Drowned. Digby. N. S.—Death from the ice cold on the western coast of Nova Scotia came to Capt. Berry after his vessel, the three-masted schooner Emma R. Harvey, had gone to pieces, and he and all but one of his crew had forced their way through the breakers to land. One seaman was drowned and Capt. Berry fell exhausted after reaching shore and was frozen to death. The others of the crew found shelter. Almost at the same time, and only eight miles away, the crew of the three-masted schooner Rebecca W. Huddell were passing through a terrible experience, but they saved their vessel by beaching her. The second mate of the Huddell was severely frostbitten and the captain and crew were exhausted by exposure. The Emma Harvey, an American schooner, whose home port is Buckskort, Me, sailed from Applesbord, N. S, bound for New York, with a cargo of lumber. Coming down the western coast of Nova Scotia she had a constant fight against wind and wave, and Tuesday night she encountered a terrific gale. Driven before the northwester, with the temperature hovering about the zero mark, the Harvey reached a point just off Sloan's Cove, eight miles east of Diby Gut. She was close in shore and Capt. Berry and his men struggled frantically to keep his vessel off, but a tremendous gust of wind hurled the schooner on the rocks. Planks fell apart, masts went by the board and every man on board was thrown into the water. It was a fierce fight for life in the breakers and all but one succeeded in reaching land. The captain came ashore, but fell on the beach some distance away and within a short time was found frozen to death. The missing man was a seaman, who undoubtedly was drowned. SMATHERS IS VINDICATED. Major Delmar's Owner Is Acquitted of Charges Made in Connection with the Race for Memphis Gold Cup. New York.—The Memphis gold cup dispute was officially ended late night when the board of review of the Titans' trading association decided that the trophy had been on merit and dismissed the charges against E. E. Smathers, of New York. The case grew out of the alleged drugging of Lou Dillon at the Memphis meet on October 18, 1904. Smathers, who owned Major Delmar and drove him in the race, was charged with having been cognizant of ill treatment of C. K. G. Billings' mare which resulted in C. K. G. Billings' failure to show form in the race and the winning of the $5,000 gold cup by Major Delmar. Some of the testimony was sensational. One affidavit read was made by Ed Saunders, who originally preferred the charges against Smathers. Saunders in his earlier affidavit had sworn that Smathers had paid him $5,000 to administer eight ounces of Lou Dumfrey so as to stop her in the race. After he read to Saunders he said that he was paid to make the charges against Smathers and that they were absolutely without foundation. SEEK TO QUASH INDICTMENTS. Attorneys for Standard Oil Company Claim that Indictments Found at Findlay Are Illegal. Findlay, O.-Late Wednesday the attorney for the Standard Oil Company of Ohio filed in the court of common pleas motions to quash the indictments against John D.

It is stated in the motions that the indictments charge several separate offenses in a single count and are therefore filled. It is observed that the indictments are indefinite and do not charge an offense in such a manner as to enable the defendant to ascertain the character of the charge made against him. DEATH AND RUIN.

SOME FACTS ABOUT M'GIRT'S MAGAZINE Read What R. H. Boyd, D. D. LL.D, and the National Baptist Convention Have Done. Started a few years ago with one little writing table, a five-cent bottle of ink and a three-cent writing pad. Last year did $125,000 worth of business. This ten-year history is told in the November number of McGirt's Magazine. The November number of McGirl's Magazine is a great national Baptist publishing house number. One of the greatest issues that I have yet published. Besides the regular features of the magazine, this number contains the "History of the Baptist publishing House," covering a quarter of years with more than 30 illustrations. You will see more than 20 well furnished offices, showing the different managers, clerks, typewriters and stenographers, typesetters, bookkeepers, printers and binders; in short, the vast host of 300 colored men, women, boys and girls, employed in three great buildings owned out and out by Negroes. To see this work will cause the blood to course rapidly through your veins. No one who has never seen this great establishment can imagine that any body of colored people is doing so much business as is illustrated in this number. To read about a company that receives each day more than 3,000 letters and spent for stamps last year more than $14,000, is a treat that every member of the colored race should avail himself of. This is too great to describe by words; and you will have to read this ten-year history to really have any idea of the great establishment, known as the "Naturalist" publishing House." This magazine is an illustrated monthly that has been published for the last four years. It has come out regularly every month. In these four years we have not published a number so fascinating in character and comprehensive in scope. In this same issue you will find an article entitled "Shall Lynching be Suppressed and How?" by Winthrop D. Sheldon, LLLD, of Girard college, Philadelphia, Pa. I give you my word, Philadelphia state, that I have ever read. The number contains 60 pages. Subscription price to the magazine is $1 per year. Special Offer.

The Story of Postum Cereal in Words and Pictures. The growth of the Postum Cereal Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true, every word of it. "The Door Unboiled" is the title of a charming little booklet just issued by the Company which tells, and illustrates, the story of this remarkable growth. It takes the reader from the little white barn in which the business was started Jan. 1, 1855, through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the "White City" that comprise Postumville, Battle Creek, Mich. The little white barn, so carefully preserved, is a most interesting building, for it represents the humble beginning of one of the country's greatest manufacturing enterprises of today, an enterprise that has grown from this little barn to a whole city of factory buildings within but little more than ten years. No less interesting is the quaint official home of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post and his associates is a reproduction of the Shakespeare house at Stratford-on-Avon, and upon the house and its furnishings has been expended vast sums of money, until the rooms are more like the drawing rooms of the mansions of our multi-millionaires than like offices. That Mr. Post has believed thoroughly in the idea of giving to his employees attractive and healthful work rooms is proven not only by the general office building of the Company and its furnishings, but by his factories as well, and of all of these things this beautiful little booklet tells the interesting story. It will be sent to anyone on request. Japan's Empress Popular: Japana Empress Popular It is doubtful if any royal consort is more loved by her people than is the empress of Japan. Educated according to feudal ideas and skilled in all the accomplishments beating one of her social eminence, her majesty strongly favors the broadness of the new education for women and from her private purse gives large sums toward the maintenance of women's schools and universities. During the war with Russia the empress visited the hospitals many times and every day passed hours making bandages. The effect of these bandages upon the wounded soldiers has been of deep interest to medical and scientific men, for the soldiers honored by them seemed to rally under a peculiar mental influence. All other bandages were destroyed after their first use; those made by the empress were sterilized and used again for the simple reason of their effect on the recovery of the soldiers.

GAINED 34 POUNDS Peristent Anemia Cured by Dr Williams "ink Pills After Other Treatments" "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine. "I was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble anemia. Thad spells of vomiting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare to, I had such distress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache I suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast that I could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never left me for seven weeks. About this time I had several numb spills. My feeling was that I had without any feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over me. "Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me and one morning I awoke entirely free from pain. The distress after eating disappeared and in three weeks I could eat anything I wanted and suffer no inconvenience. I also slept well. I have five several pills and I am guined in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly well now." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anemia because they actually make new blood. For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous headaches and many forms of weakness they are recommended even if ordinary medicines have failed. They are sold by all druggists, or will be issued postpaid, by receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

THE GAZE11E, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1906. THE FARMER IN WESTERN CANADA. The Quality of No. 1 Hard Wheat Cannot Be Beaten. The Canadian West in the past five or ten years has given a set back to the theory that large cities are the backbone of a country and a nation's best asset. Here we have a country where no city exceeds 100,000, and where only one comes within easy distance of that figure according to the census just taken and where no other city reaches a population exceeding 15,000. The places with a population over 5,000 can be counted upon the fingers of one hand, and yet the prosperity that prevails is something unprecedented in the history of all countries past or present. The reason for this marvelous prosperity is not hard to seek. The large majority of the 810,000 people who inhabit Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have gone on to the farm, and have betaken themselves to the task of not only feeding and clothing themselves, but of raising food for others less humilily circumstanced. The crop of 1906, although not abnormal, is an eye-opener to many who previously had given little thought to the subject. Ninety million bushels of wheat at 70 cents per bushel—$63,000,000; 76,000,000 bushels of oats at 30 cents per bushel—$22,800,000; 17,000,000 bushels of barley at 40 cents per bushel—$6,800,000; makes a total of $92,600,000. This is altogether outside the root products; dairy produce, and the returns from the cattle trade; the beet sugar industry and the various other by-products of mixed farming. When such returns are obtainable from the soil it is not to be wondered at that many are leaving the congested districts of the east, to take upon themselves the life of the prairie farm and the labor of the housbandman. With the construction of additional railroads new avenues, for agricultural enterprise are opening up, and improved opportunities are offered to the settler who understands prairie farming, and is willing to do his part in building up the new country. This is the theme that Mr. J. J. Hill, the veteran railroad builder in the West, has laid before the people in a series of addresses which he has given at various points during the past few months, and, having been for so long identified with the development of the West, there are few men better qualified than he to express an opinion upon it. Take care of the country, says he, and the cities will take care of themselves. The farmers of the Western States and the Canadian West, are more prosperous than ever before, and when it comes to measuring up results, the Canadian appears to have somewhat the better of it. His land is cheaper in fact, the government continues to give free homesteads to settlers, and the returns per acre are heavier when the crop is harvested. Farming land in the Western States runs from $60 to $150 an acre and up, whereas equally good soil may be purchased in Canada for $8 to $15 per acre, within easy reach of a shipping point, and much of this is available for free homesteading. The quality of soil cannot be beaten, and the returns per acre are several bushels better than on this side of the line; the soil and climate of that country being peculiarly adapted to wheat growing. The fact is evidently appreciated by the large number of American farmers who have in the past two or three years settled in the Canadian West. The agents of the Canadian Government, whose address will be found elsewhere, advise us that for the fiscal year 1904-5, the records show that 43,543 Americans settled in Canada, and in 1905-6 the number reached 57,796. From all of which, it appears that at present, there is a good thing in farming in Western Canada, and that the American farmer is not slow to avail himself of it. Able to Command Sleep. With Georges Clementeau, the new French premier, sleep is a mere matter of volition, in which facility he resembles Gladstone and the great Napoleon. He drops off to sleep at any odd moment—in his private carriage and even at meetings of the cabinet when only routine matters are under consideration. This ability to go to sleep when and how he pleases is the secret of his tremendous ability as a worker. He learned English in this country and speaks it perfectly, though with reluctance, feeling that his accent is not exactly to his liking. Keep in Good Health. There are many thousands of people all over the world who can attribute their good health to taking one of two Brandreth's Pills every night. These pills cleanse the stomach and bowels, stimulate the kidneys and liver and purify the blood. They are the same fine laxative tonic pills your grandparents used, and being purely vegetable they are adapted to children and old people, as well as those in the vigor of manhood and womanhood. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

While Senator Chaucey M. Depew was enjoying his long rest at Ardsley-on-the-Hudson he did a good deal of work on his reminiscences. He is not sure that they will ever be published, his idea being that they might be of interest to his son. In his fifty years of public life Mr. Depew has known a great many prominent personages and his reminiscences can hardly fail to be exceedingly readable. Rigid Rules for Chauffeurs According to new regulations in France, no one will in future be granted an automobile license who is not able to prove, in addition to the possession of the necessary technical knowledge, exemption from any physical infirmity which would tend to involve unfitness for the control of an automobile. Persons whose eyesight is impaired, whose hearing is not acute, whose hand is rendered unsteady by drinking habits or who suffer from fits of nervousness will not be allowed to add to the list of accidents. BOY'S HEAD ONE SOLID SORE. Hair All Came Out—Under Doctor Three Months and No Better— Cuticura Works Wonders. Mr. A. C. Barnett, proprietor of a general store in Award, Oklahoma, tells in the following grateful letter how Cuticura cured his son of a terrible eczema. "My little boy had eczema. His head was one solid sore, all over his scalp; his hair all came out, and he suffered very much. I had a physician treat him, but at the end of three months" he was no better. I remembered that the Cuticura Remedies had cured me, and after giving him two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, according to directions, and using Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him daily, his eczema left him, his hair grew again, and he has never had any eczema since. We use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and they keep our skin soft and healthy. I cheerfully recommend the Cuticura Remedies for all cases of eczema. A. C. Barnett, Mar. 30, 1905." Lord Rothschild's Tart Reply Lord Rothschild's Tart Reply. Lord Rothschild, who is taking a prominent part in the commission which is considering as to the best territory for Jewish colonization, is the wealthiest member of the wealthiest and most famous banking house in the world. His monetary and social influence suggest the monarch rather than the financier. There is a story that Jay Gould once called upon him on business. Lord Rothschild sent out word that he was too busy to see the caller. Mr. Gould, not accustomed to being denied audience by anyone, sent back rather a tart repetition of his request. After an interval the attendant returned with this reply from Lord Rothschild: "Tell Mr. Gould that Europe is not for sale." To Represent Italy and Spain. The two great Catholic countries of Europe, Italy and Spain, are sending new ambassadors to the court of St. James. The marquis di San Giuliano, who will represent Italy, is comparatively a young man. He comes of an old Sicilian family of Norman descent, and is highly cultured, having traveled extensively with good results. He is an enthusiastic student of Dante, and is president of the Italian Geographical society. Senior Villa Urattia, the new Spanish ambassador, accompanied King Alfonso to London on the momentous occasion that ended in his engagement to Princess Ena, and won golden opinions for his tact and courtesy during that visit. NEW YEAR'S CALLS. A New Drink to Replace the Old-Time “Ankle-Jack.” Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a delightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more "egg-nog" or "apple-jack" than they could successfully carry. Then the ladies tried to be charitable and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of alcoholic beverages, let him stop to consider, among other things, the fact that the old custom of New Year's calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one's friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and another good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum instead of coffee or spirits. A Stateen Island doctor has a sensible daughter who has set Postum before her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year. Her father writes: "My daughter and I have used Postum for some time past, and we feel sure it contains wholesome food material. "I shall not only recommend it to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas and New Year's callers." Read "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs.

When Rider Hagard was a child a very old doll of battered wood, hideously ugly, was one of his favorite playthings and also of the other children in the family. An old nurse used to call this doll "She" and in later years the novelist borrowed the name for the heroine of his most famous book. Many Delays at Altar When a bridal party arrived recently at an English church it was found that the celeryman had forgotten the appointment and he had to be sent for. It was then discovered that the bridegroom had failed to bring the ring. When this was obtained the certificate of the publication of the banns was found to have been left behind. Eventually, however, everything was ready and the ceremony proceeded. Not the Sunshins. There was an old man who was charged with illicit distilling and was brought up before the court.

In a railroad train Bishop Brooks of Boston leaned across the aisle and toward an intelligent looking gentleman, and asked: "What were you going to remark?" "I wasn't going to remark anything." "But you looked at me, and seemed about to say something to me." "Yes, I am said to be very deceptive that way. I used to say things and make remarks as soon as I thought them. I have often thought I had something to say, and discovered after I had said it that I ought to have kept my mouth shut."
