THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 21. The Dictates of Taskion THE WORLD'S FASHION HANDSOME AFTERNOON GOWNS The Dressing of the Hair This season's fashions demand three essentials of the woman who would be strictly in style, namely, a practically unlimited exchequer, a slender figure and a certain distinctive personality, without which the two former, powerful factors though they sound, are powerless to achieve elegance. Nor is it at all sufficient that a woman's proportions be slim, her income bulky, and her individuality marked, the present vogue goes so far as to exact that her clothes shall appear to bear the same relationship to her as the petals to a flower. She must not primarily attract attention on account of her dress, the successful toilet charming ny virtue of its intimate association with its wearer whom satisfied imagination fails to picture in any other style of gown. There is no disputing that, to the fortunate woman blessed with the necessary qualifications, the prevailing modes are pre-eminently becoming. The short-waisted effects are delightfully old-world and pliant, while the long clinging skirts make for grace, which recalls the fact that no luxurious and prodigal costumer worthy the name would consent to take an order for a short skirt. The softest of liberty satins do duty as lining, and the skirts designed to accompany the high high-waisted coats worn by the leaders of fashion, bear little corselet attachments and deep belts. An attempted innovation, and one that has not so far met with an enthusiastic reception is to have bodice and sleeves of different textures. For example a dress worn on her "at home" day by a well-known hostess, boasted a skirt of cream-colored point d' esprit trimmed down in front and about the foot with a narrow rushing of Rose du Barry velvet ribbon. The swathed corsage of Rose du Barry velvet tapered to a point in front, and fitted high up to the throat by means of a deep collar band, the puffed el- Surely never since the days of wigs were such wonderful coiffures seen as those adorning the head of the fashionable woman this season. Only to look at them gives one the ache of the hairdresser's chair. Two hours it takes sometimes—two whole, mortal hours to have the hair built into the undulating temples and tea houses and bird cages, which now ornament the head of woman. Then, if the coiffure happens to be a busy gentleman, it is necessary often to be coiffed for the opera at eight o'clock in the morning. Curls are much to the fore, and a flat sort, as unyielding to look at as country sausages, are called empire or "chichi curls." These are tucked in every crevice, entirely shaping broad chignons at the back some sometimes, or lying beside classic bands or other puffs at the top of the head. To accomplish the indelible wave seen—for there is a sort that lasts a year—the hair is sometimes baked in molds. Dressings which have a rich metal glitter provide the sheen, and at every spot where nature shows a vacuum is applied a false bit fabricated for this spot and no other. At the sides, the modish coiffure is not quite as wide as formerly, except, of course, with some special genre. A narrow look is being pushed to the front, and this forehead Anglise, as In Union There is Strength. bow sleeves be of cream point d'esprit. Striped materials, and textures invested with vertical lines of lace or ribbon, predominate, on account of the prevailing desire to appear as slim as possible. All garments are planned with this object in view, the second end aimed at being to place the waist as high as possible, a style which the very tall will do well to eschew. At present the woman of moderate inches is having her innings, and very good innings they are too, nevertheless, her more generously proportioned sister may take heart of grace, as it is quite feasible that their day may not be as far off as it seems. Probably in the near future we shall leave off banting, and instead take to fattening up and letting out our now tightly-laced corsets. With regard to the re-modelling of an indoor frock for afternoon wear a yoke, and tightly fitting cuffs to the elbow of gulpure lined with chiffon blanks, a marvelously rejuvenating effect. The same applies to a belt of silk, satin or velvet in the same shade as the costume, relieved with tiny bows and diminutive steel buckles up both back and front. Should the front of the skirt have been shabby, a panel matching the belt, or else one of similar lace to that used for the yoke, may be introduced with advantage, while an effective note of color is struck by a bunch of violets, carmions or roses plumed into the corsage. The picturesque dominates both gowns shown in the illustration. The silk skirt with a brocaded coat has facings of velvet, and a vest of lace and chiffon on the under bodice, while the skirt is decorated with crossed rows of thick gauze. The other costume shows combination of ecrus reside green volle and mulberry colored velvet, and the bodice is of a shape which would be eminently suited to those who are flat across the chest. it is called, may also show at the sides wisps of the English fringe. With such opera coiffures go tiaras.

CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1906. DIXON TALKS Of a Grand Life for All Who Wish It. ABROADQUESTION Golden Opportunity to Get the Best Homes—Ought to be Grasped. GAZETTE. cheap western land, I have succeeded in inducing many of our people to come out here and they are well on their way to independence. Land selling then at $5 and $5 is now $7 and $12 per acre, and is still rising in price. Feeling the need of our hard working people now crowded in the cities and held there for lack of knowledge of where they could better themselves, and do it very cheap, I have secured 25,000 acres of as fine land as can be found anywhere, same to be sold in tracts of 20 acres and upward, and have placed an advertisement elsewhere in this paper. I have an unlimited amount of reading matter you may have just for the asking. I want to reach the laboring man, the worker, and the person who is in need of a home and who enjoy door life. Begin with 20 acres and increase as you can. We must have more farmers and producers. There is no other way of showing your true worth only through contributing to the welfare of the nation. Secure some of our real substantial national independence—land. Let me send you some of my folders and you can see how easy it is to get a start. FRANK E. DIXON, Faribault, Minn. CARROLL TO TILLMAN. An Open Letter to the "Blatherskite" Senator from One of His Constituents. Columbia, S. G.-Roy, Richard Carroll, of this city, recently issued the following open letter to Senator Ben Tillman of this state: "You must remember, Senator, when you became a candidate for governor of South Carolina, many of the Negroes voted for you, and others staid away from the polls rather than cast their ballots against you. If the Negroes had rallied to the polls that year, under the leadership of the white men, whom they had among them, you would never have been governor of this state or senator of the United States; but they looked upon you as their friend. If you will recall your speeches during that memorable campaign, you will see that no white man has ever come on the political platform in South Carolina and made a speech that was made as you made. I myself was one of those men who urged Negro that I came into contact with not to vote against you. But you have turned against us. I would to God this night that you would reconsider, and that you would speak a kind word, wherever an opportunity comes to you to do so in defense of that race, that has been true to the southern white people as well as the United States government. You do not need us as a subject for a lecture. There is no race problem that cannot be solved. Men like you the people of this country to give the Negro justice. We do not ask for social equality or any special favors (though we should special favor), but justice and every encouragement should self-justify and every encouragement should who are law-abiding and who are trying to make something of themselves. You know, again, Senator, that there is no danger of the Negro getting ahead of the white man, when the white race has had over a thousand years of freedom and we have had only 40 years. To beat us backward, to retard our progress, and to rouse prejudice against us will injure the white race as much as or even more, than it will us. The white race has to be that we have. Your race should help our race. We are all related as God created of one blood all the people on the face of the earth. We are human, and intensely human, and that is why we have so many criminals among us. We are kind to humanity. You must also remember that there are good citizens, who are contributing to the welfare of the commonwealth; in other words, are paying taxes, and are Christians." Funeral Largely Attended.

The above is an excellent portrait of the young Cleveland killed by a train in Chicago recently when his companion, Wilbur F. Warnock, whose WILBUR F.

C., Dec. 19.—The president's special report on his recent dismissal from the army of the three companies of troops of the 25th infantry was the storm center of debate in military affairs a month ago. When the reading and been concluded, Senator Foraker asked that the message and documents be referred to the committee on military affairs with instructions to take such testimony as was deemed necessary to establish the accuracy of all the facts. In a moment the senate was in excitement. Senator Lodge objected to the form of the motion. He said if a congressional investigation was to be ordered he would invoke the rules and have the matter go over. Finally the Foraker motion was divided. The message and papers were sent to the senate. The senate then sent up his resolution for an investigation. Senator Carmack opposed leaving the question to the discretion of the committee ordering an inquiry that might be long and expensive. Senator Foraker said he would consideration of the resolution Thursday. Senator Tillman's Talk. Senator Tillman delivered his paid lecture, "The Race Problem." at Grays' armory Monday night before an audience that filled one-third of the house. The lecture was a repetition of his recent Chicago address. There was no disturbance—Cleveland Press. The above is all the Press had to say of Tillman or his alleged lecture. It treated our people far better in the matter than any of the other daily papers. The Plain Dealer, the Leader and the News' reports of the "lecture" were especially "raw" and inexcusable by this person. Like this, Persons present estimated the chance to be between six and seven hundred at most and not 1,000. Somebody lost money on it—whoever prompted the disgusting affair. This would not have been the case, however, if our people here had permitted the morning papers and others to "stir them" up like our people in Chicago were a few weeks ago. Should be Barred Out. Washington, D. C.—Oklahoma is about to raise the question whether or not a new state can be admitted which discriminates in its constitution. The new state's convention, it is said, contemplates incorporating for separate schools, separate railway cars, waiting rooms at railway stations and generally a segregation of the race apart from the whites wherever possible. A White Brute Assaults His Own Daughter. Montgomery, Ala.—The jury in the case of Eugene Dowling, a white brute, a carpenter, charged with criminally assaulting his beautiful 16-year-old daughter, Daisy, after being out 16 hours, returned a verdict of guilty on the 16th and sentenced Dowling to 50 years. An appeal will be taken. CHRISTMAS GIFT! Nothing better than a year's subscription to The Gazette. Try it!

Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898 1896 to 1898 1900 to 1902 TRADITIONAL COUNCIL 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. Merry Christmas! For president in 1908, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of these United States of America! The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Plain Dealer for the use of the excellent Warnock and Deming cuts elsewhere in this paper. Hon. Charles Dick, junior senator of Ohio and chairman of the republican state executive committee, again said in an interview at Washington, D. C. on the 18th: "If Senator Foraker wants Ohio's endorsement for the presidency he can have it," and added, "he will get it." Why, of course. Ohio has no other republican candidate and will not have. Temple Baptist church members (white), of Atlanta, Ga., in a set of resolutions which they had published in local papers, censured the owner (white) of property next to the church, for renting it to an Afro-American whom they referred to as Cassie Stephens; not "Miss" or "Mrs." Cassie Stephens, "Great" is this kind of religion or Christianity—so common in the south, and entirely too much so here in the north. The President's statement in his first message to the present congress that "the best type of education for the colored man, taken as a whole, is such as is conferred in schools like Hampton and Tuskegee," does not indicate the breadth of knowledge of our people we had thought Mr. Roosevelt in possession of. It, too, indicates a leaning toward the south that is not pleasing or encouraging either. The best type of education for the Afro-American is the best type of education for all Americans. The Atlanta courts are so busy trying to convict one of the 60 Afro-Americans charged with the killing of the one white person who lost his life during the riot, that they seem to have forgotten entirely the white brutes who murdered fifty or more Afro-Americans and wounded about two hundred others. Some one ought to call the president's attention to the fact that the people (white) of Atlanta are "harboring" dozens of the criminals that mob, and get him to mention the fact in one of his several special messages to the congress yet to appear. To be consistent, he should, too, hold "the best people" of that city responsible, and he would not be so much out of the way, either. TILLMAN'S LECTURE. The Gazette has been compelled from time to time to publish so much anent that coarse, vulgar and vindictive southern buffoon, Ben Tillman, that we tire of the subject. This we believe largely true, also, even of that small crowd of morbidly curious people who assembled in Grays' armory to listen to a repetition of his alleged lecture in Chicago a few weeks ago when he blurted out "To hell with the law," as he did here in his thoroughly disgusting tirade against the race, on Monday evening. That he has injured our people in the estimation of many people of this and every other northern community he "lectures" in, cannot be questioned. That is the unfortunate phase. However, it is not a fatal injury, not one that cannot be overcome. This rests entirely with our people. The following editorial from the Cleveland Catholic Universe, a weekly publication, is so out of the ordinary for truth, concisely put, that we take pleasure in reproducing it at this time: "United States Senator Tillman, as well known, is an ultra radical on the race question. We know that he is an extremist on this subject. In addition to past evidence proof can be adduced from his lecture delivered last month in Chicago. There was intense excitement. And during the lecture there was danger of violence. "Senator Tillman is outspoken, and bitterly so, agnait the colored race, especially as regards conditions in the south. The Negroes in the north should not be blamed for conditions which they did not create. The Negroes of the south have more reason, when a summary is made, to complain of the whites than the whites have to complain about them. People who bring about conditions should not blame the victims of such conditions. "Senator Tillman, it is quite evident, does not put into practice the teaching: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Those who believe in this heatbeat should not co-operate in THE GAZE11E, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1906. making Senator Tillman's lecture a financial success. "Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, refused to preside at a lecture that would inevitably stir up bad blood. Mayor Johnson, we gladly note, has also refused to preside at the Tillman lecture in Cleveland. Curiosity cannot justify co-operation in that which may do much evil. All people who claim rights have duties. If the colored people have these duties, they have their rights, and these rights should not be ignored or abused. Free speech has its limitations in charity and in justice." We thank the editor of the Universe for the above. The lecture was anything but a "financial success," and Mayor Johnson dimmed the lustre of his refusal to preside by attending the lecture and escorting Tillman to the hotel in his automobile later in the evening. This, too, Mayor Dunne absolutely refused to do. Mayor Johnson evidently "got cold feet." And he is a southerner, too, a Kentuckian by birth: "Sdeath! Pistols for two, it should have been, Mr. Mayor, before such an inglorious backdown. THEY OUGHT TO "SHIVER." The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Times says that the southern-membership of the senate, in shivering anticipation of the establishment of a precedent, which might be used some time in the near future as a club to compel them to grant perfect equality in the public schools (mixing them), to Afro-Americans, doing away with "Jim Crow" schools, are beginning to show an extreme solicitude for California that will doubtlessly cause them to oppose any effort of the administration against state rights in an attempt to compel that state to admit Japanese children into the same schools with all classes of Americans. Senator Isidore Rayner, a Jew, of Maryland, has already introduced a set of resolutions on the subject and is most aggressive in this new southern effort to back up California's stand against the Japanese in this school matter. As the president's stand against the discrimination is predicated upon the alleged clause in the treaty with Japan, which is backed up by a section of the U. S. constitution (according to Secretary of State Root) which has to do with the treaty rights of aliens only, we fail to see any real good ground for the southern senators' "shivering anticipation." President Cleveland's sending U. S. regulates into Illinois during the great Chicago strike some years tago to protect U. S. property, made us feel that as U. S. citizens life was of far more importance in the eyes of U. S. law, that the government could, if it would, do something to protect the lives of citizens, but we have never noticed any of his successors strenuously or otherwise trying to do anything of the kind, though there have been numerous opportunities. The Atlanta riot of recent months, for instance. Just how those "shivering" southern senators reason the question under discussion, we would like to know. There is apparently no likelihood of their separate school system being attacked by the government. A Carnegie Medal for a Black Hero! A Carnegie Medal for a Black Hero! Greenville, N. C.—A prairie wolf attacked 12-year-old Luther Rogers (white) November 26, and gnawed his right leg nearly off. Abe Nelson, a giant Afro-American blacksmith, crushed the skull of the beast with a blow of his fat. The animal had broken its chain and dashed through the streets, causing a panic among pedestrians. When it attacked the people stood back in fear afraid to try to save the lad. The screams of the lad were heard for squares away. The blacksmith rushed from his forge. The lad is in a critical condition. The Atlanta Riot Has British Attention. Atlanta, Ga.-International complications may follow the disappearance of William Ogilvie, a Jamaican, who is supposed to have been killed in the riot here in September. Ogilvie was on his way to Tuskegee to enter school and stopped over in Atlanta. Mayor Woodward has received a communication from the British consul at Savannah asking for information and it is understood that the British government is making an investigation. Ogilvie is said to be heir to large estates in Jamaica. Caught in the Act. Washington, D.C.—When the report of the codifying commission was finally laid before congress recently it was discovered that the feature of the revision attempted was omitting the provision intended to make the fourteenth amendment effective. D. K. Watson, formerly attorney general of Ohio, wrote a protest against this into the report. It was the work of the other two members, John L. Lott, of Tiffin, and W. D. Wynum, of Indianapolis, who were apparently catering to southern sentiment and prejudice. "Jim Crow" Cars Made Trouble. Ardmore, Pa.-Chief of Police Chambers (white) declares that the next time he has occasion to go south for Afro-American prisoners he walk back as the experience he had with "jim-crow" cars of Mason and Dixon's line as he was returning from Richmond, Va., with George and Maria Clark, accused of robbery, was enough to last him a life time. "He Holds the Fort." Hagerstown, Md.-The residence of Edward Collins (white), who last spring married an Afro-American near Indian Springs, Washington county, this state, was fired upon by a score or more of white brushes recently.

Violated His Home Manila, P. I.—Dispatches from Camp Downes, Lyles, recently told of the killing of First Lieutenant W. C. Calvert (white), Twenty-fourth infantry, by Quartermaster Sergeant William Taylor, of Co M. The shooting occurred at 6 a. m. at the officers' quarters, Calvert being shot six times, each shot taking effect. Death was instantaneous. The shooting was because of the relations which the officer had had with the sergeant's wife. The sergeant's home had been violated, and the culminating result was not wholly unexpected. Calvert joined the Twenty-fourth, an Afro-American regiment, in 1900. Sergeant "Buck" Taylor is an old soldier, having had the experience of being an excellent repute. He was at San Juan and afterward served at Siboney in the yellow fever camps on the memorable tour of duty that made the Twenty-fourth infantry pre-eminently famous in the Spanish-American war.

Some years ago, before Queen Victoria's death and about the time that the queen's jubilee was to be celebrated, the following conversation between two old Scotchwomen was over heard on a street corner in London: "Can ye tell me, wumman, what is it they call a jubilee?" "Well, it's this," said her neighbor. "When folk has been married twenty-five years that's a silver wuddin', and when they have been married fifty years that's a golden wuddin'. But if the mon's dead then it's a jubilee."—Harper's Weekly. Titusville, Pa., Locals The W. W. society met Wednesday evening at Mrs. Clark's. Refreshments were served—Miss Mamie Brown and Mr. Fred Collins dined Sunday with Miss Mabel Moore.—The D. W. Y. C. band gave a social Tuesday evening at Mr. and Mrs. J.

Music Specially Composed by Josiah Booth. Brightly. FROM MEAN'N A-BOVE TO EARTH I COME, TO BEAR GOOD NEWS TO EV'RY MOME; GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY I BRING, WHERE OF I NOW WILL DAY AND GING. A Day of Reckoning Sure to Follow Holiday Extravagance. E spell of the yule-tide lasts very much longer than the yule-tide itself. Weeks before Christmas holidays we are all thinking about them, wondering what we can do to make HE spell of the yule-tide lasts very much longer than the yule-tide itself. Weeks before Christmas holidays we are all thinking about them, wondering what we can do to make them better holidays than we have ever had, planning surprises for everybody from the grandparents to the little ones, the nurses and kewing ourselves to concert pitch over the whole matter. America as a nation is growing immensely rich among the nations of the earth, but while men of wealth are no longer extraordinary, the rank Christm and file still have and always will have limited means, so that thrift is a golden virtue at Christmas as well as at other periods of the year. Sometimes there is complaint at home that father is moody and taciturn, and a little management and tact are in order before mother and the girls ask him for money, the fact being that the poor man is borrowing right and left, and is almost beside himself to meet the drain on his resources. Several years ago, soon after the glow of the yule-tide had faded into the ashen embers of mid-winter, a business man was taken ill. Dragging along through the weeks of February and March, the victim it seemed of a mysterious malady, he died and was buried during Easter week. When his affairs were settled, they were found to be extremely involved. The entire scheme of living for the family to be reconstructed, and with pangs of agony those whom he loved discovered that their extravagance had really sapped the springs of his life. They were not altogether to blame. Husbands are not invariably frank and candid with wives. Fathers A CHRISTM Words Written by Martin Luther for Composed by Brightly. FROM MEAN'N A-BOVE TO EARTH I COM GLAOD TID-IRGOS OF GREAT JOY I BRING, To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen mother mild; This little child, of lowly birth. Snail be the joy of all the earth. Tis Christ our God who far on high Hath heard your sad and bitter cry; Himself will your salvation be; Himself from sin will make you free. Too Much of a Good Thing Too Much of a Good thing: "I wish people would be more particular about giving that boy of mine Christmas presents," growled the industrious old man "Why so?" asked the soap peddler. "Why, somebody gave him a lounging robe an' he hasn't done anything but lounge since he got it." His Idea. Teacher—Johnny, what's the longest day in the year? Johnny—The day before Christmas! dislike to let sons and daughters know that they have anxieties; they resort to every legitimate or illegitimate means to gratify those who bear their name, and in the end if a crash does not come, there are heart burnings and distress that might as well have been avoided. When the yule-tide casts upon us a spell of foreboding or leaves a legacy of importunate creditors, it has been robbed of its finest essence and defrauded of its noblest meaning. It is our misfortune that we cannot divest ourselves of a feeling that to make the home happy we must spend too much money for our mental comfort. Never was there a greater mistake. Pleasure in the household depends on simplicity far more than we think. Children often turn away from the playthings that have cost a goodly sum in dollars and cents, and find their delight in something cheap which they may use at their pleasure. The costly doll imported from Paris and dressed in the height of the fashion is shown with pride by its owner as Bells. to her little friends, but it is not the doll which gives most satisfaction. It is not the doll that the child plays with. Very likely her mother considers it too fine to be spoiled and puts it away in the closet except on state occasions. A doll on the closet shelf may be a marvel of elegance, but it brings no particular gratification to the child who seldom sees it. Our yule-tide should be full of warmth and cheer, our extra money should be spent on plenty of light and an open fire, and there should be good times at home, the best times then in all the year. The beneficent spell of the yule-tide has most of heaven in it when we remember our poorer neighbors and our loneliest friends. There are people known to us all who will be made very happy by so simple a thing at Christmas-tide as a letter. For instance, there is the seamstress who worked for you 20 years ago and who is ending her days in an old ladies' home. She has nobody of her own left to visit her and one day passes just like another. Her yule-tide will be made more cheerful by a visit if you can make it, or a letter if you can send it.

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," 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 knowledge of this "National Baptist Hiding 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, LL.D., of Glard college, Philadelphia, Pa. I give you my word, this is the strongest article that I have ever read. The number contains 60 pages. Subscription price to the magazine is $1 per year. Special Offer.

There can be little or no question in the face of many publications in The Cleveland Daily Leader from time to time during the past year, that it possesses a pro-southern sympathy (prijudice) that will cause all loyal Afro-Americans of Cleveland to discontinue taking the paper, and also to vote against the Cleveland Electric Railroad Co., if ever the franchise question is submitted to a vote of the people, because its stockholders are the owners of the company, the News, papere which seem to delight in characterizing our people as "niggers, coons, darkies, dingies, blackbirds, mokes," etc., and our women as "negresses," the most insulting mongrel term that can be raked up, and one that was used during slavery days in conjunction with the miserable designation "buck" for a male slave. Tell every Afro-American of this community with whom you come in contact and who has a spark of self and race-pride to the leader and the News from their homes as they would a lousy dog, and to remember to hold the Cleveland Electric Railway Co. responsible for the Lead and the News from their miserable insults. The member of the race who would commend these two miserable sheets to our people ought to be "marked" and remembered. What does the local Women's Federation as well as our MEN think of such an individual? To Enable Them to Re-enlist. Washington, D.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. DECEMBER 22. 1906. CHRISTMAS GIFTS! The most reliable place of the kind in the city to purchase Christmas presents is at Sigler Brothers' jewelry store, 25 Eucelid avenue. The firm is the oldest and best and for more than twenty years has given employment to Mr. Charles L. Lacy. an excellent portrait of whom is given herewith. Race pride alone ought to prompt our people to patronize Sigler Bros.' beautiful store in preference to any other, because you can purchase from a diamond, up or down, there as reasonably as at any other place in the city and, too, have Mr. Lacy wait for you wish, and of course this we all desire, a day or evening and ask for him. He is pahstaking patient, always courteous and accommodating in an extraordinary degree. See Sigler Bros.' advertisement elsewhere in this paper. Chaplain T. G. Stewart. Of the Twenty-fifth U. S. infantry, writes interestingly of his recent trip to Mexico: "I saw several companies of the regular army well armed and equipped and wearing good uniforms. They march well and I am told carry heavy packs. In every case which came under my observation the enlisted men were of dark complexion and the officers white. I do not know that this is universal or general. The rural guards, who wear a most show uniform, and are mounted, are composed of volunteers, regardless of color, and are officered by whites so far as I saw. I am using the words white and colored only as an accommodation to my readers. In Mexico, as in all Spanish countries that I have visited, there is no race friction that allows a man, in uniform, to be classed colored in practice. On the other hand, the civil offices, and in business every way, see no weight as I could see. I saw some colonels of dark skins and some cadets in their military academy of the same complexion. "Arriving at New York I was surprised to see on the wharf as laborers only black men. On the streets I saw still further evidence of the fact that the black man is crowding his way into the field of common labor and disputing with Pat and Antonio. Coming to Philadelphia, this fact was confirmed on every hand. The blind observers who are singing the song that the Negro is losing as a laborer need more eye goggles. The New York is gaining and gaining rapidly in this very field. An hour's observation on Market street, Philadelphia, will answer the question."—Washington (D. C.) Record. As to President Roosevelt. Had one Negro "squealed" in the dismissed battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, it would simply have meant a Texas lynching bee, with the burning and souvenirs of Negro ears, toes, fingers and flesh. God bless those Negro men who went their way with sealed lips. Why was not Roosevelt's son dismissed from Harvard "without honor" when he refused to testify against his college mates? Evidently these young men "appear to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty." Why wasn't the whole class dismissed? Roosevelt held up his "big stick" until his son-in-law was elected by Negro voters and then let it fall with fatal effort by the incarcerated Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry. The hand which punished alike the innocent with the guilty is a cruel, un-Christian hand. The act of the president stands as a dark blot upon the escutcheon of the man whose text has been—"A square deal."—Richmond (Va.) St. Luke's Herald. Some "Chivalrous" Southerners Some "Chivalrous" Southerners. Lafayette, La—One hundred white-caps, masked and armed with shotguns and pistols, created a reign of terror the night of the 25th uit., at Carenone, near here, brutally murdering Antone Domingue, a peaceable Afro-American after robbing the man of his horse and buggy. They also held up a score of other Afro-Americans. The town was at the mercy of the band throughout the night. Domingue was stopped in the road while going home, and on resisting the whitecaps, was beaten. He left his team to go home and secure a revolver.

Some of the medical fledgings at Bellevue hospital manage to find amusement even in the lilies of the people who flock to the institution for treatment, says the New York Press. An al negro woman entered the reception room one morning last week and said she felt "mighty sick, indeedy." When the doctor who was summoned examined her he could find nothing the matter with her. "What seems to be the trouble?" he asked. "Ise sure I has gastritis, doctor, because Ise got an awful pain in my stomack," replied the woman. "Do you live near a gas house?" he inquired. "Yes, I live right across the street from one and a dot's what makes me thiks I got gastritis," answered the old woman. "Well, take this bottle of medicine home with you," said the doctor, "and if that gastriitis isn't gone in a week come back here again and I'll ampuate your stomach."

Soil by the American Film for constipation. Picturesque German Custom. A curious custom procures in the German navy when the sailors, having served their time, pass into the reserve.

The Evils of Constipation. The Evil of Constipation are many; in fact almost every serious illness has its origin in constipation, and some medicines, instead of preventing constipation, add to it. This is true of most cathartics, which, when first used, have a beneficial effect, but the dose has to be continually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect. We know, however, that can be relied upon to produce the same results with the same dose, even after fifty years' daily use, and this is Brandreth's Pills, which has a record of over 100 years as the standard remedy for constipation and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used, and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated.

"This man is a competent juror," chimed the court, and the trial proceeded. TORTURED WITH ECZEMA. Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body —Scratched Until Bled—Wonderful Cure by Cuticura. "Last year I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, until it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so I suffered torment, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved. I continued until well, and now I am ready to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to any one. Mrs Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla., June 28, 1905." The Highest Bridge Work is now in progress on a suspension bridge over the famous "Royal gorge" of the Arkansas river, in Colorado, at a point where the channel is only 50 feet wide at the bottom and 230 feet wide at the top. This bridge will span the river 267 feet above the surface of the water, and will be, therefore, by far the highest bridge in the world. The material will be of flat steel and steel cables, the curved girders finding secure attachment in the solid sides of the canyon. The floor of the bridge will be of plate glass one and one-half inches thick, to afford visitors the pleasure of looking down the chasm. On each side will be strong, high steel railings. The bridge is part of an electric railway scheme. TRYING EXPERIENCE.

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN CANADA. Magnificent Crop Returns for the Year 1906. The manner in which the Canadian West has attracted settlers in recent years has caused many of our journals and public men to "sit up and take notice," to use a current phrase. From every European country and from almost every State in the Union large number of settlers have flocked to the prairie provinces of Canada, where free homesteads and wide opportunities are open to all who desire to avail themselves of them. The greatest factor in attracting settlers lies in the inherent richness of soil and suitability of climate for producing what is universally considered to be the finest wheat in the world—the "No. 1 Hard" of Canadian growth—and other cereals that rank in the very first class. This year the harvest returns were: Wheat, 90,000,000 bushels; oats, 76,000,000 bushels; barley, 17,000,000 bushels; and when it is considered that the entire population of the three provinces—as evidenced by the quinquennial census just completed—is only $100,000, it is easily seen that the lure of the Canadian West is in its agricultural potentialities. Another feature which attracts the settler is that railway construction is proceeding with such rapidity that almost every district is within easy reach of outside markets, and that good prices for all lines of farm products rule practically from the commencement of agricultural operations. This is a factor which did not prevail when the earlier settlements in the West were made in Canada and in the United States, and has given a great impetus to Canadian Western settlement in recent years. The free grant system of homesteads which prevails in the prairie provinces, by which every settler who is able and willing to comply with the conditions of actual settlement (by no means onerous) is given 160 acres free, except $10 for entry, is a great drawing card, and in the last fiscal year gathered in over 189,000 additional to the western population, of which 57,796 were from the United States. The further fact, as is strongly brought about by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere, that a splendid common school system, practically free, prevails throughout the entire country, and is easy of access in even the most remote districts, is another great inducement to the settler who has the future welfare of his family in mind, and this coupled with the idea that the Canadian law order are provisional completes a circle of good and sufficient reasons why the tide of immigration has set in so steadily toward the country to the north of our boundary line. BROKE THE WILDCAT'S BACK. Philadelphia Man Victorious in Hand-to-Hand Combat. Unarmed and alone, Thomas Dyke was attacked by a wildcat on Locust mountain, south of Mount Carmel, Pa. He had been in Ashland and started to drive home. His horse stepped on a nail and he put the animal in a stable. Then he started to walk home and was on the mountain when the cries of a wildcat alarmed him. A few minutes later he saw the beast ten feet in front of him. The animal finally sprang. He jumped aside and as the body of the cat struck the road he leaped upon it. For several minutes the fight between the wild animal and the man went on. At length by a quick swing he broke the animal's back. A physician dressed the several deep scratches on his face and hands, but otherwise he was uninjured.
