THE EVENING GOWNS and CLOAKS THE FIRST COAT During this season of the year evening dresses step naturally into primary importance, and it is pleasant to note that though fashion holds sway with the multitude, the minority tries, and succeeds, in following the beaten track with some individual differences. A popular means of achieving the artistic dress of our immediate desires is to copy some old picture or print. Much inspiration may indeed be derived from these, although in truth the outlines are more prominent than the details and we can only guess at the frills of soft muslin which edged the fuchsia of our ancestor's joy, and realize that they must have suffered much from the delay in the introduction of the adorable chiffon. The short-waisted frock is worn both with and without a separate train, looking its best no doubt for the matron under the influence of some short soft satin or brocaded train, and being acceptable on the maiden when wrapped round the figure and made in softest muslin, bearing two flounces on skirt. Evening cloaks are always expensive, at least those which merit our greatest admiration and the best effect with moderate outlay is to be achieved by a skilful combination of lace, Chinese embroidery and mink tail. Our illustration offers two very good examples of this. The first is of pale pink cloth bearing a cape of ermine held with pendant cords and tasseled ends, and this is worn over a dress of pink chiffon, glistening with pink and silver sequins upon a soft pink foundation. The ermine collar may be economically replaced in various ways; by imitation ermine which really looks quite well in the evening, or by a collar of white rabbit skin, plain or applied with embroidered or jet designs, or again it may be made of entirely embroidered and edged with fur. The other cloak is of satin vandyked and stitched, and striped with lace. This would look well in black, and the lace in white, with the collar of mink or skunk, and I would advise it lined with white satin, and can picture it looking well over a dress of black traced with jet, or a dress of white satin. Talking of satin reminds me of a very superior example I have seen in black satin, tightly fitting, in the Princess shape. It had graduated bows embroidered in diamonds from bust to hem, those at the hem being large, those at the top being small. It was worn by a woman of very good figure, and the decolletage was just outlined with a few folds of white tulle, white in the hair a bow of diamonds held a waving paradise plume. But let me return to the realms of thrift. An inexpensive, and yet effective evening frock, quite within the powers of the home-dressmaker, is contrived from ivory silk muslin, powdered profusely with tiny black dots. The skirt reveals seven rows of gauging at the top, and the same number of rows rucks as it near the knees, where it merges into a broad band of moussele conspicuous for a bold design in dull pink yellow and mauve roses, the hem being of black silk muslin, tucked and striped with fine lines of black ribbon velvet. The draped corsage tapers to a "V" in front and has for sole trimming a folded beetle of speckled ivory moussele and an edgeing of the black muslin striped with ribbon velvet. The evening gown pictured in our smaller illustration is of white satin, adorned all down the front with tas- In Union There is Strength. seled ornaments of paste and silver; while a band of this silver pursues its shining career all round the skirt just an inch or two above the hem. The tiny puffed sleeves are caught in with a band of silver and paste, with a tassel at either side to fall over the little box-plaining of satin, and then the corsage enfoils—like the opening petals of a flower—a softness of white tulle and narrow borderings of silver lace, which form the chemisette. Amongst the simplest theater cloaks I would commend some of cloth in Empire shape, fitting closely round the Prot. coat and possessing velvet or satin collars lined with fur, which allow of being turned up in case of necessity. Two ornamental buttons, placed high up in the center of the back, ensure the coveted short-waisted effect, and two pairs of the same, linked by decorative tabs should fasten the fronts as far as the bust. The genuine fabric mantilla gives promise of becoming a popular head covering for evening wear, and certainly it has no rival in point of view of the becoming, but its adjustment offers great difficulty. Clothed cloths, trimmed with military braid and velvet collars and tails, inspire numerous smart walking costumes, and diagonal cloths and velvet and velveten occupy all other space in the field of favor. All these materials require to be strictly tailor-made, and depend for success upon the cut. Plain, tight skirts have returned Evening Gown of White Satin. to popularity; no style is more attractive, provided the fit be carefully accomplished and the wearer be possessed of that curve at the waist behind, which it should be the art of the corsetiere to supply should nature have proved deficient in this respect. Petticoats are of the softest and most supple textures, a vast improvement being effected by a very thick cord run through the hem and again through the frill. The woman who is compelled to study the question of cost, has learnt to realize the benefit to be gained from the detachable flounce. This kind of petticoat should bear a double row of buttons one a couple of inches above the other, so that the flounce may be worn short or long according to the exigencies of the weather.

There will be a general agreement that in his latest remark concerning President Roosevelt Senator Foraker is right for once. He has characterized as "too silly to talk about" the report that the president would veto any bill restoring the discharged colored soldiers and would contest or ignore it if enacted into law. This is not to say, however, that Foraker believes the president has been misquoted. If he did say so it was silly, and if he did not say so the ensuing discussion was still more silly. Foraker is right either way. Certainly no other president would have been capable of the remarks attributed to Mr. Roosevelt, and no other president could have been suspected of making them without arousing a passion of popular resentment. As a matter of fact nobody seems to care much whether he made them or not; a fact which is or is not complimentary to the president, according to the point of view.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Should Have Social Equality. Chicago, Ill.—Recently at a big memorial meeting held under the auspices of the Illinois branch of the Niagara movement at Bethel church, Clarence Darrow, one of the foremost white lawyers of Chicago, declared the colored people would never be the people in this country they aspired to be until they got social equality with the dominant race and urged the Negro to make it the one point of his life to fight for social equality if he expected to be a man recognized among men in this country. HE PROTESTS Father Doan to The Cleveland Leader. A WHITE FRIEND! Vulgar Vindicativeness of the Cleveland Electric Railway Co.'s Newspaper Organs—Outrageous Treatment! 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 (prejudice) 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 principal owners of both the Leader and the News, papers which seem to delight in characterizing our people as "niggers, coons, darkies, dingies, black birds, mokes, etc., and our wounded children," the inmates in the 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 bar 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 Leaders and the News contemptible graver and more villainous. The inmate in 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? Port Clinton, O., Dec. 18, 1906. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Garzette. Dear Sir:—On Dec. 18 I delivered an address to our Mens' club on the race problem and was opposed in my views by several prominent lawyers who practically took the Tillman stand. This community is somewhat on that order as to the race question. However, I was told by an intelligent member of the club, who had conversed with a number of the men after the meeting, that if a vote had been taken I would have won. There were 87 men present. My first address was from manuscript while my closing talk took up several misstatements and points made by my opponents. It was a great meeting, and I was informed that on account of a suggestion made by one of the members of the club I sent the manuscript part of my address to The Cleveland Leader, and awaited its publication, but all in vain. Then I began to wonder why the old Leader was so slow about the matter. Finally it occurred to me that she went into new hands a year or so ago, and then I wrote and emphasized the point that if the "paper" did not suit them to return it. It was returned today. Think of it! The boasted "Ohio's greatest newspaper," I have been confirmed in the opinion that you often have voiced in your paper that The Cleveland Leader is narrow and prejudiced on the race question, and the square deal" proposition, note that although the editorial which seemed to indicate breadth. Why wouldn't it be a good thing for a committee of you men to go in a body and see the editor, Mr. N. C. Wright, and make him explain the use of obnoxious terms and the tendency to make so much of a Negro crime, when at the same time debarring from their paper statements that are made and written for a better understanding between the two races and the breaking down of all unreasonable prejudice and unfair treatment. Shereely yours. Rector of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church. Port Clinton, O., Dec. 29, 1906. Mr. N. C. Wright. Editor of The Cleveland Leader My. Dr. Sli:— My Dear Sir:— It seems to me that a paper such as The Cleveland Leader that assumes to be "Ohio's greatest newspaper," and the ultimate advocate of ideas, refrain from the use of newspapers in its columns that are used by the vulgar to give vent to their spite and vindictiveness toward another race or members thereof. You quote a joke on Speaker Cannon on the front page and reprint the term "nigger" in this morning's issue. Now you know that such a term is used in derision, and for the purpose of depreciating the manhood of a Negro. I ask you, does Booker T. Washington approve of the term "nigger" or Do Bols? Does any self-respecting these do not, is it not clearly wrong and an injustice and even petty for a great newspaper to indulge in such terms as "nigger," etc., when the management of that paper must know that by the use of them they are simply catering to common, vicious sentiments, and insulting the best Negro scholars and citizens of the country. The welfare and stability of our country as it is affected by the Negro citizenship, rests upon the mutual respect of two races conquered by the Negroes and the Negroes into good, honorable citizens and not demons. Every cause for the development of the latter should be removed, both by the press and the pulpit if they are true to high ideals and peaceful relationships be SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. between the Negro and white races of our home land. Yours respectfully, EDW. S. DOAN, Rector of St. Thomas'. Port Clinton, O., Dec. 29, 1906. My Dear Mr. Smith: This is a copy of a letter I have this day sent to Mr. N. C. Wright, of The Cleveland Leader. Publish it, if you please to do so, and be sure The Cleveland Plain Dealer gets a copy and The Press. Yours for the cause of "all men up and no men down." I am, Sincerely, FEDERAL PRESS THE CELEBRATION A Grand Success—The Exercises—Local, Personal and Other News. Sandusky, O.—Our people here under the auspices of the A. M.

Toledo, O.—The following poem by the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar possesses an exceptional local interest because of the fact that it was written for and dedicated to Miss Louise Tobey, then a little girl. The poem is in the possession of Capt. P. H. Dowling, of this city, who was present when it was written and saw the incident which inspired the Negro poet. Dunbar, who was a protege of Dr. H. A. Tobey, was a guest at the Toledo State hospital when the poem was written, some 12 or 15 years ago. Capt. Dowling was talking with Dunbar, when Louise Tobey, then a small skipped, in and handed the poet rose and laid again. Dunbar at once wrote the poem of which Capt. Dowling solicited and received a copy. The copy he discovered some few days ago while going through some old papers. To Louise Oh, the poets may sing of their Lady Irenes, And may rave in their rhymes about wonderful queens, But I throw my poetical wings to the breeze And soar in a song to my Lady Louise. A sweet little maid who is dearer, I ween. Than any fair duchess, or even a queen: When speaking of her I can't plod on in prose. For she's the sweet lassie who gave me a rose. Since poets from seeing a lady's lip curled Have written fair verse that has sweetened the world Why then should I not give the space of an hour To make a song in return for a flower? I have found in my life—it has not been so long— There is too few of flowers, too little of song; So out of that blossom, this lay of mine grows. For the dear little lady who gave me the rose. I thank God for Innocence, demeror than Art, That lights on a by-way which leads to the heart, And led by an impulse no less than divine. Walks into the Temple and sits at the shrine. I would rather pluck daisies that grow in the wild Or take one simple rose from the hand of a child Than to breathe the rich fragrance of flowers that bide In the gardens of luxury, passion and pride. I know not, my wee one, how you came to know Which way to my heart was the right way to go. Unless in your purity, soul-clean and clear. God whispered his message into your ear. You have now had my song, let me end with a prayer That your life may be always sweet, happy and fair. That your joys may be many, and absent your woes. O dear little lady, who gave me the rose. Your friend. —PAUL DUNBAR. That "Discharge Without Honor." That "Discharge Without Honor." The New York World characterizes the now notorious "soldier" order of the president as "executive lynch law." The New York Times declares that the action of the president "is in flat posture that provision of the constitution which should no person be deprived of life, liberty, or property without "due process of law." The New York Evening Post says that "our president has decided upon a punishment * * which is without precedent in the annals of the army," and further: "To our mind, Mr. Roosevelt has established a most pernicious precedent, besides doing a grave wrong to many innocent servants of the country. In his desire to punish the misadduct of blasphemy of whites, he has leaued over backwards." "A West Pointer," writing to The New York Times, says: "All honor to the Black Battalion that would rather be disbanded than to do a dishonorable act." Theirs is the spirit of which heroes are made." Taylor Won Again. Greencastle, Ind - Samuel Taylor, who won second place in the interhigh school oratorical contest at Crawfordville a couple of years ago, won first place in the De Paw university oratorical contest held here on the 15th alt., and will represent the institution in the state contest. He spoke on "The Heritage of Emancipation," and his oration was an eloquent one in every sense of that word. His delivery was especially fine, and after concluding he was given round after round of applause. Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898, 1888 to 1888, 1890 to 1892 AUTHORIZED TRADE SCHOOL CRAVELAND Cleveland; Saturday, Jan. 5, 1907. 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. The letters of Rev. Edward S. Doan on our first page today need no comment. They are quite sufficient in themselves. Read them carefully, please. The Annapolis, Md., students who recently took an Afro-American prisoner from jail and lynched him are pretty fair exponents of the later day southern "chivalry" when our people are concerned. Sergeant Mingo Saunders of the outraged battalion of the 25th infantry says in a public statement that Col. Theodore Roosevelt came to him in Cuba during the Spanish American war, and after the battle of La Gasimas, and at his special request, his (Saunder's) company shared their supply of hard tack with his (Roosevelt's) command. It looks very much as if the president is returning "stone" for hard tack in the cases of Sergeant Saunders and his company. Those Chattanooga, Tenn., lynchers are in a fair way to be punished for contempt of court, the supreme court having brushed away the technicality raised several weeks ago that caused the long delay to date of their trial. Among those held in contempt by our highest legal tribunal are the sheriff and his deputies, of that city, some of whom President Roosevelt made special efforts to meet in response to their requests several weeks ago when in Washington, D. C. The tremendous effort to enable the south to go on with its immigration of foreign laborers to take the places of southern Afro-American bids fair to become a successful one, as the new secretary of commerce and labor, as well as several southern courts, have already placed upon it their seal of legal approval. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the effect of this labor upon the Afro-American labor of that section of the country. Some fear that it will be very hurtful and others that it will be in a larger measure helpful. One thing sure, the prejudiced south will have to cease in a large degree its mistreatment of the laborers of that section, because the allens employed will not quietly submit to it as our people there have always done. Congress appropriated $100,000 for the Negro exhibit of the Jamestown, Va., exposition according to a recent dispatch from Washington. Bills calling for $35,000 of this amount have already been received at the treasury department in Washington for payment. One of the bills submitted called for $20,000 salary, asked for by Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, which he claims is due him for two years' service as promoter of the exposition, and especially the exhibit mentioned, as well as director general of the latter. This bill has been rejected by the comptroller of the treasury on the ground that the $100,000 appropriation was for prospective services and a prospective exhibit, and not for past services. It is a good thing for the Negro exhibit that the wiley Mr. Jackson will be restrained by government authority in his anything but modest demand for payment for services alleged to have been rendered. But for this that particular department of the exposition would be without funds long before much, if anything material was done to make it even a fair success. "THE MILK AND THE COCOANUT" President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and the war department do not seem to be in such a hurry to court-martial Mal. Penrose and Capt. Mackill as they were to punish those unfortunate soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, although the former was "directed" by the president several weeks ago. We do not believe the officers will ever be punished, because it will be found unnecessary when the men's case has been thoroughly investigated by the senate's committee on military affairs. The "Brownsville affray" was nothing more nor less than an effort of prejudice, disgruntled saloonkeepers (white) of the town to "shoot up" a saloon near Ft. Brown, Texas, and in the town of Brownsville, conducted by an Afro-American ex-soldier and owned in part or whole by a member of Companies B, C or D. The fact will eventually show that not a single soldier of the Twenty-fifth infantry participated in the miserable affair, although it is barely possible that some of the Afro-Americans of the town were interested to the extent of helping to defend the Afro-American saloonkeeper and his place of business. Indeed this is more than likely to have been the case, as is vouchered for by reputable witnesses. The white saloonkeepers had drawn a color line and had attempted to force the soldiers to patronize "jim crow" bars in the rear of their places of business. This, of course, was resented by them and caused the establishment of the saloon placed in charge of the Afro-American ex-soldier referred to. A few days prior to the riot of August 13 the soldiers had had a pay day and spent considerable money in the Afro-American saloon. This only added fuel to the smouldering fire and caused it to burst out on the date mentioned and in the way indicated. By degrees the true cause and truth of the "Brownsville affray" are slowly forcing their way to the surface. THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MOB. The contempt of the supreme court displayed a few months ago by the sheriff, his deputies and a mob of citizens in Chattanooga was so obvious and flagrant that the highest tribunal in the country could not well ignore the matter without bringing contempt upon itself. If its decisions are subjected to review and reversal by a murderous mob the fact should be established. The facts in this matter are that last March Justice Harlan granted a stay of execution in the case of a Negro named Johnson, then under sentence of death for criminal assault. Immediately thereafter the sheriff and his deputies permitted a mob to enter the jail, seize and lynch the prisoner. There was no pretense of resistance on the part of the authorities and the only defense they have ventured to make is that the supreme court has no jurisdiction. The court on Monday held all the accused responsible for the violation of its order and the consequent lynching. This is said to be the first time the court's mandate has been disregarded, and if on hearing the facts shall prove as now stated, this first case is also likely to be the last. The progress of this case will be watched with interest and the outcome may provide a new or strengthen an old weapon for use in dealing with mobs. The accused lynchers have entered a general denial of participation and their guilt may naturally be difficult to establish; but there is no apparent means of relieving the cowardly or criminal authorities from responsibility, and nothing but their delinquency made the lynching and the alleged contempt possible. A demonstration of the power of the supreme or other federal courts will be welcome if it shall deter mobs from lynching, and more than welcome if it shall convince sheriffs that by supinely surrendering prisoners at the behest of mobs they will incur a penalty more to be dreaded than social ostracism or loss of political influence at the hands of their neighbors.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. No Race Suicide There. New York—Health Commissioner Darlington has made public the birth, marriage and death statistics of Greater New York City for 1906. The number of births and marriages has increased in a healthy ratio, while the death rate is rather low as compared with the increase in population. During 1906 there were reported 111,772 births, an increase over 1905 of 8,000; 48,355 marriages, an increase of 5,700; 76,206 deaths, an increase of 2,492. The birth record is the greatest ever reported. A Pugilist Dies in a Fight. Fargo, N.-D. In the presence of Lieut. Gov-elect Lewis, Sheriff Hunt, State's Attorney Barnett and other leading state and local politicians, Calvin Good, of Columbus, O. sank to the floor in the eighth round of a sparring match with Jim Galanes, another Afro-American, and died a few hours afterward without regaining consciousness. The affair was one of the features of a "social session" of the local lodge of Elks (white). Legal Notice. Rev. H. C. Bailey, administrator of the estate of Dr. E. H.

George has been waiting for a job at the postoffice in Hattiesburg, Miss., but the mob wouldn't let him take it. He now demands of the civil service commission "something equally good." George is the only person eligible by civil examination for a clerkship in the postoffice there. Gens, Sickles and Miles Say "This country is not Turkey. It is not a place where, if trouble occurs, everybody in the vicinity is clapped into jail and the heads of 50 men cut off in order to be sure of getting the head of the guilty one. It is not probable that all these soldiers were concerned in the disturbance. It is not likely that all even knew about it." Stop Whining and Fight. Charleston, W. Va.-Principal Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Ala. at a banquet tendered him Christmas eve by the Civic league, said: "We cannot expect to win our battles in the south or north by a policy of antagonism. Civilization soon tires of a race, as of an individual, that continually whines and complains." To Replace Japs. Tacoma.

THE GAZETIE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 5. 1907. 35 ARE DEAD The Victims Were Pinned in the Wreckage and Burned to Death —Injured Number 55. Topeka, Kan.—Thirty-five persons, all Mexicans but three, were killed, 55 persons were injured and bodies of 30 Mexicans were incinerated early Wednesday 'in a head-on collision of two passenger trains of the Rock Island railroad near Volland. All the killed were in the southbound train except a tramp who was on the baggage car of the northbound train. This tramp, a negro porter and a workman accompanying a gang of 32 Mexican laborers were the only Americans killed so far as known, although a passenger says that a woman and a child were burned in a tourist car. There were 32 Mexicans and five Americans, composing a gang of railroad workers, in the smoking car of the southbound train. Of these, 30 Mexicans were burned in the wreckage and two died later. Most of the injuries were due to the setting of the emergency brakes. Most every passenger in the southbound train was thrown to the floor by the quick setting of the brakes. The northbound train was running ten miles an hour up grade. The Mexicans were phioned under the seats and the doors were jammed so they could not get out. In the chair car many passengers were held down by the seats. The train caught fire from the gas tank and the passengers in the rear coaches escaped in night clothes and dressed beside the track. Then came the cries for help among the Mexicans in the smoking car and the people plumed fast in the chair car. Every man and nearly every woman on the train tried to rescue the unfortunate, but the flames soon became too hot to permit of approaching the car. A GRUESOME DISCOVERY. Morgue Keeper Finda Portibals of Disaster Ground Into Ole Mass. Disaster Ground Into Ole Mass. Washington, D. C.—In an endeavor to identify the manged bodies of victims of the Terra Cotta wreck of last Sunday night, a grusome discovery was made Wednesday at the morgue. What was supposed to be the manged body of a man attired in a suit of "pepper and salt" proved to be the composite remains of several of the fortunates who died in the Sunday evening horror. The morgue master had all the pile of human flesh and parts which had been gathered at the wreck removed to the "dead room" in an effort to establish identity. When he delved into it he found a piece of a baby's skull, a man's foot, badly crushed and encased in a shoe; the hand of a woman and a portion of a human face; also fingers, toes and other parts of women and children's bodies and those of men, all ground into the black coal dust and with pieces of garments mixed in the mass. An investigation to ascertain the cause and fix the responsibility for the wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Terra Cotta last Sunday night, was begun here Wednesday before a coroner's jury. The principal witnesses were three officials of the road, none of whom could give any reason for the wreck. Nearly 50 witnesses have been summoned and the inquiry promises to occupy the entire week. UGLY CHARGES TO BE PROBED. Gov. Warner's Request that Michigan Republicans Postone Senatorial Caucus Is Heeded. Lansing, Mich.—After a fifteen Lansing, Mich., Jan. 3.—After a 15 minutes' session the republican caucus of state representatives and senators to nominate a candidate for United States senator to succeed Senator Russell A. Alger, adjourned last night for one week without balloting on any of the candidates for the office. The adjournment was the direct result of a communication issued by Gov. Warner from his home at Farmington, where he is confined to his bed by r. severe attr. of infuenza. Gov. Warner, in his published statement declared that the caucus should adjourn without action in order to give time for investigation of rumors of improper methods employed in advancing the candidacy of Arthur Hill, of Saginaw. There are four avowed candidates for the senatorship William C. McMillan, of Detroit; Congressman William Alden Smith, of Grand Rapids; Mr. Hill, of Saginaw, and Congressman Charles E. Townsend, of Jackson. McCrea Succeeds Cassatt Philadelphia, Pa.—James M.

THE NATION'S FINANCES The Secretary of the Treasury Shows that They Are in Excellent Shape. Washington, D. C.—"There is no occasion for alarm. Our only anxiety need be lost we fail of facilities to properly garner, store, transport and market our multiplied blessings. Let every man be of good cheer and try to be conservative in everything except thankfulness." Secretary Shaw thus concludes a resume of the year's financial record which he says has been prepared in response to many requests. In round numbers he places the government receipts for the calendar year 1906 at $625,000,000 and the expenditures at $566,000,000, or an excess of receipts over expenditures of $59,000,000. Discussing the finances of the government for the six months of the present fiscal year just closed, the secretary says that the books of the treasury show surplits receipts over expenditures of $25,000,000, as compared with a deficit of $8,000,000 for the corresponding months of the previous fiscal year. The cash in the treasury is $190,000,000, as compared with $171,000,000 a year ago. The cash in national bank depositories is $153,000,000, as compared with $65,000,000 a year ago, and the total cash in the general fund is $356,000,000, as against $344,000 a year ago. Against that $344,000 are liabilities at the present time $13,000,000 greater than at the same time last year. The available cash balance has increased during the year $101,000,000 During the last 12 months the money in actual circulation, exclusive of the amount in the treasury vaults, has increased over $200,000,000. Of this increase $145,000,000 is available for bank reserve and $60,000,000 is in national bank circulation. "This," he says, "seems to be a complete answer to the oft-repeated and ill-advised criticism that the independent treasury system necessarily results in contraction when money is most needed." He adds that the existing money strictency, worse than the traceable in 'no respect to the independent treasury system of the United States. He says the shortage has been caused by the unprecedented prosperity in this country and reasonable prosperity elsewhere. The people of the United States, he declares, consume per capita more food, more clothes, more of everything than any other people in the world, and when prosperous they import very largely. This, he aserts, naturally encourages industry everywhere and unusual business activity calls for an unusual amount of actual money and of credits based on actual income. As to the currency system of the United States, Secretary Shaw says that in his judgment it permits adequate expansion, but that its weakness is its failure to produce contraction. A FRUITLESS QUEST. Effort to Find Where Defaulter McGill the Bank Wrecker, Lost Large Sums Is Not a Success. New York. - Going among the various offices in Wall street examining certain brokers is a commission of one appointed by the Canadian government to take testimony tending to throw light upon the speculation which made Cashier McGill a defaulter and wrecked the Ontario Bank of Canada, with which he was connected. The taking of the testimony is being done in secret. Three brokers were examined Monday. They were Arthur C. Vaughn W. H. Goadby and Charles E. Laidaw with all of whom, it is said, McGill had business dealings. While the examination of the wif- itnesses was private, it was learned that the purport of the questions was to ascertain if McGill had used the funds of the wrecked bank for the pur- poses of private speculation. All of the witnesses denied any knowledge of such a condition, however, and told the commissioner that when a man came to them with money to invest in stocks they did not inquire into the manner of his acquiring it.

Full of Sound Sense Is Delivered by the Incoming Executive of the Empire State. Albany, N. Y.—Charles E. Hughes on Tuesday' took the oath of office as governor of the state of New York and with his democratic colleagues began his two years' term. The retiring governor, Frank W. Higgins, formally surrendered the reins of government to his successor and left in the afternoon for his home, a private citizen for the first time since 1893, when he was first elected senator. In his inaugural address accepting the responsibilities of the great office, Gov. Hughes paid a marked tribute to Gov. Higgins, commemorating his public services. The inaugural ceremonies were unusually brilliant and the attendance almost unprecedented. The inauguration was preceded by a parade of various companies of the Third brigade, national guard of New York. Following the inaugural ceremonies, the new governor held a reception in the executive chamber and he and Mrs. Hughes received a cordial welcome from a very large number of people from Albany and elsewhere, in the usual public reception at the executive mansion. Gov. Hughes in his inaugural speech said: "We have reason to congratulate ourselves that, coincident with our prosperity, there is an emphatic assertion of popular rights and a keen resentment of public wrongs. There is no panacea in executive or legislative action for all the ills of society which spring from the frailties of the human nature of its members. But this furnishes no excuse for complacent inactivity and no reason for the toleration of wrongs made possible by defective legislation, or by administrative partiality or inefficiency. "Whether or not we have laws enough, we certainly have enough of ill-considered legislation, and the question is not as to the quantity, but as to the quality of our present and of our proposed enactments. "Slowly but surely the people have narrowed the opportunities for selfish aggression, and the demand of this hour and of all hours is not allegiance aspiration for sympathy with every aspiration for sympathy with all conditions and a sincere effort to understand every need and to ascertain the means best adapted to meet it. A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. It Purports to Have Been Written by the Crew of a Steamship that Disappeared Five Years ago. London, Eng. — There has been washed up on the beach at Castle Rock, in the north of Ireland, a bottle containing a message from several members of the crew of the steamship Huronian, which disappeared in the spring of 1902, to the effect that she was sinking fast. The message, however, never location. This is the second time the Huronian has been heard from since she sailed from Glasgow on February 11, 1902, for St. Johns, N. S. The Huronian belonged to the Allan line. She was first reported overdue early in March, 1902, and when nothing had been heard from her by the first of April, all hope for her was given up. In spite of this, however, the British admiralty, at the request of the owners, ordered the cruiser Thames to search for the missing steamer and in the latter part of April the cruiser Bellona was ordered to the North Atlantic to help the Thames in this work. The search was kept up by these two cruisers until well into May, but no trace of the Huronian was ever found. GANS WON EASILY Colored Pugilist Defeats "Kid" Herman in the Eighth Round. Tonopah. New-Joe Gans fought to the "dope" on Tuesday.

Herman was willing to fight, but the champion stalled him off. In the second round Gans began to open up. The fight was for a $20,000 purse, 40 per cent, going to the winner and 40 per cent, to the loser. Hearst Wishes to Renew the Contest. Albany, N.

In a letter received recently by Hon. John P. Green from one of our leading residents of Brooklyn, N. Y., the following appears: "But thanks to Divine Providence, as one goes down another comes up. We have Foraker with us. Things seem awfully dark at times, but suddenly out of the cloud comes a ray of dazzling sunshine. The ray of light is now our old friend Foraker. We must rally around him and pray that he will be spared to us many years. You should have seen and heard the uproar of enthusiasm created by the mere mention of the name church the other night. Our St. Mark's church the other night. Our Foraker still lives, and we are not much cast down by the defection of Roosevelt, Root and Taft. Root became inoculated with the Tillman poison several years ago. Roosevelt has contracted it from Root and Taft is already showing symptoms of the disease." Walter H. McCoy was arrested last week on the charge of forgery. He was employed as a waiter in a disreputable place in Chestnut rue N. E, and lived with his family at No. 6112 Lexington avenue N. E. He is accused of inducing Clerk McCarthy, of the Holldenen, to cash a worthless check on December 10 calling for $25 and bearing the indorsement of a local attorney. In the man's possession were found checks bearing the names of other prominent Cleveland men. The prisoner admitted that he had been copying checks which came in his possession as a waiter and had obtained money on them. His weekly pay amounted to $3.50, yet he wore expensive clothes and diamond^d. McCoy made it a practice to get money from visitors of the place by informing them that inquiries had been made to him relative to their visits, so it is said, and that he had diverted suspicion on these occasions, and thought his action entitled him to $5 or $10 and even $25, according to the ability of the victim to pay.

C.—Congressman Smyser, in an interview on the Brownville affair, says Roosevelt is short of evidence, if he possessed none except what has been published, and that he considers the fact that the Brownville grand jury, after an investigation, failed to return an indictment, as a strong point in favor of the discharged soldiers. Smyser also says: "From my experience at the bar I know that I could wish no easier case to defend than that of the members of the colored battalion, if all the evidence against them is contained in the reports of the officers on which the president's order of dismissal was based, and that the president is in the world to secure their recruiting. Therefore I repeat that in my opinion it is strange that the president should have discharged an entire battalion upon such films and incomplete testimony." Ex-Speaker J. Warren Keifer, of Springfield, another Ohio congressman, endorses the above. Judge Frees Man. Cincinnati, O.-Threats made by Deputy Sheriff G. W. McCall, of Knoxville, Tenn., caused Judge Otto Pflger to free, on a writ of habeas corpus, William Henry, accused of murder. In delivering his opinion the judge said: "I find that threats of mob violence have been against the prisoner and that relatives of the dead man have purchased weapons for the express purpose of killing the prisoner should he be returned. I do not believe that man has been guilty of mob violence." In November 1905, Henry in Knoxville, killed a white man in self-defense after he himself had been wounded. He was arrested, but the grand jury ignored the case. Henry came to Ohio last February. A subsequent grand jury found an indictment. Left Her $10,000. El Paso, Tex.-Delavel Beresford, brother of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, of the British navy, was killed recently in a railroad wreck in Enderlin, N. D. An Afro-American woman, known as Flora Wolff, in Illinois, where she was born, claims to have been the wife of the deceased for the past 22 years in Mexico. Beresford left her $10,000 in his will but she is suing for a widow's dowery, although it is said, she admits that they were never legally married. The woman feels confident that under the Mexican laws she will get what she sues for. When Beresford and Flora came to town they mixed with our people and he called her his wife. All over the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, she was known as "Lady Beresford." Titusville, Pa., Locals. Trinity chapel Xmas exercises Tuesday night was a success.

"Joe Gans is the greatest lightweight the world ever saw," said Wilie Fitzgerald almost four years ago. It was the night after Gans had knocked Willie out, and the latter was pretty well qualified to speak. Fitz was a crack himself, and had met the best of them, but when he met Gans Majid Fitzgerald made Willie look like a beginner. "Most fellows can felft and block and hit, but none of them class with Gans." Gans Won. Tonapah, Nev.—Joe Gans remembered his mother handsomely this Christmas. The champion colored lightweight sent $8,000 to her at Baltimore. Mrs. Gans wired back to her son: "Thanks. Keep stepping, Joe." It does not seem as if Joe can step much higher. He whipped Herman in eight rounds Tuesday afternoon. Penrose and Macklin Court-Martial. San Antonio, Tex.—Brig. Gen. William L.

Emphatic Message That Broke Up ‘Conference of Pollticians. Four years ago, when ex-Gov. Odell, of New York, was coming up for a re: nomination at the coaveation in Sara- toga, there was a plaa to put a man on the Ucket with him for lieutenant gov- ernor to whom Odell objected strexzly. The governor's father, 88 years old, ‘a dexcon in the church and very strict fn religious matters, was in Saratoga. There was a conference at oie of the hotel cottages that lasted until Yate in the morning. ‘Tho other lead- ‘ers were trying to force Odell to take the obnoxious man. ‘About two o'clock Odell’s father, who bad heard what was going on, stalked anstily over to the cottage and rapped on the door. Frank Platt, son of Senator Platt, came to the door. “Well?” sald Platt sharply. “I want to see my son,” demanded Gaen. i + ‘The governor came to the door. “What Is it, father?” he asked. “Ben,” said the old deacon, “tell ‘them to go to —!” “Yes, father,” replied the governor ‘obediently, and he went back and did Just that—Saturday Evening Post.

I wished to pay you my regards, Mrs. Simpson, and to con- gratulate you upon Mr. Watkins, who is coming to board with you.” “Congratulate me!” cried Mrs. Simpson, “Why, I am indeed delight- ed to hear that. Do you know, I have never seen him yet?” “Yes?” The look in Mr. Parker's eyes was far away as he replied, and his body bent forward attentively, “I have known Mr. Watkins—Jeremiah Watkins, ra’am—trom a boy. 1 am glad ho 1s come to such a home as yours.” “Indeed, you please me, Mr. Parker,” returned Mrs, Simpson. “I shall be especially happy to tell our boarders what sort /of person they may ex pect.” Mr. Parker gave a sudden start, but carefully recovered himself. “Ab,” he said, “that’s what I came to teil you ee “Indeed?” “Yes, Mr. Watkins ts e—a—a gen tleman.” ‘Again the courteous speaker leaned forward as he spoke, struggling awk- wardly for the next word—"but I want you to know that he ts a—a gentle man.” “Ah!” returned Mrs. Simpson, with feady intuition. “Then he is perhaps eccentric?” “Not exactly." replied Mr. Parker, thoughtfully and sweetly, “but he looks, let_me say, be looks rougher then he ts." “But he fs—" Yes," sald Mr. Parker. “He ts a gentleman.” Halt an hour later the door closed softly, and J. Spencer Parker came down the front steps of 1316, at frst smiling, and then sadly, walking with “slow, unsteady step. As he passed “by the little corner grocery store, he paused and smote himself pathetically on the breast, “Liar!” he sald, groaning. “Liar! And yet—it had to be done. God forgive me!” ‘Anyone who had happened to seo Mr. Parker's friend, Mr. Jeremy Wat- kins, on the next day, when he came with his trunks to 1316, might have been excused for cherishing the sus pleton that he was not exactly a Beau Brummet or a Lord Chesterfield. He cursed the baggage “man for letting his trunk fall roughly to the ground, and quarreled with him over his fee; and, to futther give vent to his feel: ings, he strode to the door and gave ‘the bell knob a vicious jerk. There was nota look on his face of a ges- ture of his body that did not reveal him a coarse, i!l'mannered young man, properly of the stable, rather than the house. His square, rough face, with {ts loose mouth and broad nose, his burly shoulders and big hands, and his clothing, inviolate with re spect to any previous contact with the whisk broom, bespoke a vulgarity of person that he did not attempt to con: ceal. It seemed almost impossible that he should be a friend or acquaint- ance of such @ person as J. Spencer Parker 2 ‘Mrs, Simpson, radiant, sweet and fresh, appeared at the door, and gazed at him for a moment. Then, seeing Bia trunks, she extended “her band and said: “Mr. Watkins, | supposo?” Yes." J, Watkins was on the point of asking her who in h—1 she thought he was, with two trunks right there before her eyes; but something in her ladylike manner evidently ditterent from. what he had been accustomed to, checked him. “lam s0 glad (0 see you," she went on. “So glad to know that we fare to have you here. We are almost lke a family here, and so you can imagine how much | was pleased to learn that our new lodger was a cul- tivated gentleman.” Watkins flusbed angrily, supposing that sho was making sport of him, but one glance at her frank, ingenuous face convinced bim of her sincerity. “Somie one must have heen here—" he stammered, uncomfortably, “telling you about me.” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Simpson, “Mr, Parker was here yesterday. He thinks highly of you." ‘Again the surging suspicion that Mrs, Simpson was mocking him—and again the sweet and straightforward look from her. “| have known him a number of years, ma'am,” replied Watking, In a subdued votce “So he sald,” returned Mrs. Simp- son, “and It 1s Indeed delightful that those who know one well can speak so well of him. But come—your trunks must’be taken care of. 1 will call our man.” ‘The man came—a wWizened man, whose {ace was wrinkled Into @ con- stant smile; and as he bustied about, assisting Watkins with the trunks, be talked pleasantly and respectfully. “You will be pleased hore, st.” he said, as they stopped. panting, at the top of the stairs. “If I do say it myself, there are no more gentleman- ly or Indy-like people in the world, than at 1316" Watkins, who had been just on the point of cursing the man roundly for dropping the trunk on his foot at the top landing, contented himselt with blaspheming inwardly instead. At dinner there was a general hush when he entered the room, and he ‘was introduced to the lodgers, one by one. A sweet looking girl sat next him, who said: “It will be so delightful to have you here, Mr. Watkins. Mr. Parker, who called here yesterday, tells us that you spent two summers in Europe.” ‘Memorles of rough debauches in London and Paris and feverish gam- ‘bling at Monte Carlo came flooding to his brain. His only subjects of conversation, in regard to European travel, heretofore, had been coarse ones. But now, coloring, he spoke bape \? y Buse, = = // Yo Au 4 Lo A fi,’ (gk AW p At ye AQ ig a of Notre Dame and the Louvre; of St Paul's and Windsor. The unaccount able influence of this slight creature beside him, brought to lis memory scenes of beauty and interest that he had looked on only in passing, and had tong forgotten. Ho talked with- out roughness, and even found him- self thanking the waitress for things she passed him, He felt pleasantly uncomfortable, He walked that evening with two of his fellow lodgers, for a little exer- elso before retiring. One of then was the young lady whom he had sar next to at dinner. The other was 9 young lawyer who occupted the room next to his in the hall, Their talk was wholesome and happy. They asked, him about his home and his business, not as curiosity seekers or {dlers, but as people sincerely inter- ested In him. They never talked of themselves; but answered his ques- tlons frankly. When he returned to his room there was a flower on bis bureau. Tho gas was burning low. The windows were ‘slightly opened, and the fresh, pure air surrounded him. He found a pitch- ‘er of cool water at hand, and a glass stood near It. Brgsently, Mrs. Simp- ton inocked at Mi aoce. it ocoarsed to me,” she saldgssweotly, “that you might not yet have unpacked your books.” Watkins looked apprehensively at the cheap, trashy lterature that adorned his shelves. “N—no," he sald slowly. “I haven't.” “It you would like to use any of our books, just go down into the brary and help yourself. You need not bother to return them to thelr places, it you get interested. Just leave them here in your room.” Upon the following Sunday one of the neighbors met Mr. Watkins in front of 1316. “T suppose this 1s Mr. Watkins,” he said, cordially offering his band, “I fam indeed glad to’ meet you, for T have heard of you from your friends, Come up tomorrow to 1324, three doors up, and have dinner. We shall be glad to add another gentleman to our list of acquaintances.” ‘And so time passed, until one bright day, three months later, there came again to 1316 Mr. J. Spencer Parker. He pulled the door knob with some trepidation, and heard again the faint tinkle of the Imita- Hon cowbell In the rear. He talked again to the middle-aged, delightfully seautiful woman who answered his call. “He left agatg in about halt an hour. But this time, as he passed the little grocery store on the corner, he was seen to slap himself enthusias. tically on the leg and to smile ra diantly. SENATOR HAD DATES MIXED. Why Missouri Statesman Was Late ‘at Cabinet Dinner. Ex-Senator Cockrell probably is the only man in Washington who ever kept President, Roosevelt waiting at a dinner, It was one of the’ cabinet dinners that were given by the sec: retary of the interior and Mrs. Hiteh- cock three years ago, The president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time, as did all the other guests ex. cept Senator Cockrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock Invited her guests to the dining-room und dispatched a messenger to the residence of Sena- tor Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourian had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. ‘The fact was, however, that the sen- ator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad in his dressing gown and slippers and con- gratulating himself that he could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner fn his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had for- gotten to turn a leaf and was, ac- cordingly, © day behind tlme. No one appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that be- gan in anxiety and apprehension end- ed in a big laugh at the dear old sea- ator—Denver Times.

DIAN WEST, Nearly 200,000 of an Increase In Cana. ‘da’e Immigration in 1906. ‘The progress of @ new country can- not be better ascertained than by not- Ing the increase of railroad mileage in its transportation system, and, judged by this standard, the Canadian West leads all tho countries in the world during the current year. Thirty years ago there was not one hundred miles of railroad west of the Great Lakes, and very Uttle prospect of a trans: continental route for many years to come, but by the end of 1885 the Canadian Pacific Railway was within measurable distance of completion, and last year—twenty years later— over 6,000 miles of railroad traversed tho provinces of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta, Jn the past year the work of rail- roaé construction has been vigorously prosecuted, and by the end of 1906, some 5,000 miles of completed railroad has been added, making a total of fully 11,000 miles in the three great grain producing provinces of Canada. ‘Such an increase in the transportation facilities of the country is bound to make good times not only in the dis- triets where the railroads are being built, but throughout the entire west. Allowing $20,000 a mile for construc- tion, the sum of $100,000,000 will be put in clreulation, and this in itself should cause good’ times to prevail in a land where work {s plentiful, wages are high, and the cost of living is mod- erate, | But the building of new railroads through Western Canada means a greater benefit to the country than ‘merely the money put in eirculation ‘by the cost of construction. Addition- al railway building means the opening of new agricultural districts and an ‘additional area under crops; a largely increased output of grain to foreign markets with consequent financial re- turns; the erection of elevators and the growth of villages, towns and cit- fes; and everything else that makes ‘for the progress of national life, and the opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads, so extensively ad- vertised by the Canadian government agent, whose address appears else where. It wes stated on the floor of the Canadian Parliament recently by a prominent representative that ten Years from now would see the bulk of the population of Canada residing _west of the Great Lakes, and if the "work of railway building during the present year is any | riterion, tho prophecy made by the Canadian states. man may be easily fulfilled inside of the time stated. During the present year no less than 189,064 persons have fourid homes in the Canadian west, of whom 57,796 were Americans who have scen the great possibilities of this new West, and have decided to cast in thelr jot with It. Certainly, our neighbor north of the 48th parallel is making a great record, and deserves the success that appears to be coming aaa Lived and Died Together, Martha R. Howe and Mary J.

No Advance in Wisdom. Mark Twain tells how four years ago he was Invited by the University of Missouri to go out there and receive the degree of LL. D. At the same timo he visited Hannibal, his boyhood home. Just as he was about to leave, deing accompanied to the station by a crowd of citizens, Tom Nash, a school- fellow, came up—white headed, but still a boy. Ho shook hands with his friend of many a year and nodding toward the crowd said: “People of this town are the same blamed fools they always were, ain't they, Sam?” ‘ainlosettncasis «ts Mcgee, euiielnin Senator Tillman probably, eames more money every year on the lecture platform than any other American who talks to the public for pay. From fan authoritative source the statement comes that the South Carolinian's net proceeds thus far this year from his lecture tour are $25,000. Senator TTill- man fs paid from $250 to $500 a lec: ture and he 1s constantly in demand. His season fs not confined to the sum- tmery Chautaugua course and he fills nearly as many dates in the winter as at any other time of the year. In the last four years it Is said that he has laid aside over $09.00 from his lecture receipts. Henry Watterson perhaps comes next in the matter of earnings on the platform. Champ Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a popular favorite and makes about twice as much as a lecturer as his eon- Gressional salary. CRIED EASILY. Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and Quit Other Things. No better practical proof that coffee is a drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it. The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drusged with coffee and tea—they both contain the drus— caffeine. Ask your doctor. An Ia, woman tells the old story thus: “I had used coffee for six years and was troubled with headaches, nervous- ness and dizsiness. In the morning upop rising I used to belch up a sour fuld regularly, “Often I got 50 nervous and miser- able I would cry without the least rea- son, and I noticed my eyesight was getting poor. “After using Postum a while, I ob- served the headaches left me and soon the belching of sour fluld stopped (wa- ter brash from dyspepsia).

ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail ‘Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Rem- ‘edies Brought Prompt Relief. “I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years, The hands crack- ed open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail camo off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticnra Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Final- ly my husband said that we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got & cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cutl- cura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema, Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D.

Popular the ‘World Over: ‘With regard to the game of dom- imoes there is a very interesting story connected with its origin. It runs thus: There were two monks who had been committed to the pen- alty of ¢ long seclusion and were con- demned to keep absolute silence. To relieve the monotony they played a game by showing each other small flat stones marked with black dors. By a well-understood arrangement, the monk whose hand was used at first informed the other player by repeating in an undertone the first line of the vesper hymn, “Cantate Domino” (Sing unto the Lord). In thme the monks completed the set of stones and formulated the rules of the game, so that by the time they were free to come out from their pun- ishment they had found the game so interesting that on teaching it to the other members of the monastery {t became a favorite and lawful pastime. It soon became popular all through Italy and from there extended to the whole world. ‘The first line of the ves- per hymn which the momks had used ‘as a signal was reduced to the word domino, and the name has stuck to the game ever since.
