THE The LATEST FASHIONS THE FASHION OF THE NORTHWEST. The costume at the left is of soft grayish green cloth trimmed with braid and soutache embroidery of a little deeper shade. The bolero opens over a waistband and the sleeves are trimmed in delicate colors, and the sleeves are finished with under cuffs of the same. The skirt is made with flat plates at the front and back, the middle of the front and back. It is trimmed with bands of the braid and embroidery which finish at different distances from the front. The other gown is of striped brown cloth or cheviot. The short jacket is It is the plaint of the woman of today who would be well-gowned that the goddess of fashion grows more extravagant with advancing years, but at least it must be admitted that she displays more judgment, for each year and each season of the year discloses greater freedom of choice in gowning as compared with former years, and this makes for more artistic draping of the human form and more charming framework in the way of coiffures and chapeaus for the feminine face. Time was, and not so very long since, when every one had to wear immense sleeves or else be hopelessly old-fashioned in their frocks, and how hideous Hellotrope Velvet and Venetian Point Costume. these outstanding puffs were! They suited only the tall and thin, but the short, fat woman added ten or more inches to her breadth and deducted an equal number from her height with great cheerfulness, rather than appear oldfashioned. This is but one of the many instances of ridiculous adherence to a particular style of gown. In hats, in size, shape, and color there is no limit; sense and good taste alone are requisite. As to coiffures, they may be worn high or low, and with or without the pompadour, marcelled or plain, whichever suits best the individual type. The light weight broadcloths, whether or plain, checked or otherwise, are seen in many of the modish costumes. The plain cloths are used for the formal calling costumes, and the checks for the informal and tailored costumes for walking and informal wear generally. Indeed, cloths seem to lead over velvets this season at the smart day affairs, where, as last winter, any number of velvet gowns were in evidence.

The sleeves were of medium size, and the coat and the skirt also were trimmed with bands of plain cloth or else braid an inch and a quarter wide. These plain trappings outlined a hip yoke at the sides only, the strappings then running down the skirt, dividing it into panels. The gown was topped by a pelerine, and she carried a muff to match. The hat worn was a moderately large, almost flat, oval-shaped affair, with a low crown. It was a sort of castor brown, with a knot of blue or green velvet at one side, combining well with the color of one of the checks in the costume. From this knot a white aigrette streamed up and then back. The purple velvet reception gown shown herewith is a superb example of the use of Venetian point in a rich cream, almost an ecrut. It may be suspected that that part of the jupe covered by the coat is of soft silk or satin and that the coat is tacked to it, for it would be a sartorial sin to cover so much exquisite and costly lace as a whole skirt would necessitate if worn with so long a coat drapery. The coat of the skirt is cut into gores, each overlapping the one in front and each a bit shorter as it goes toward the front, until the two separate in the front to show the lace panel. Each gore of the coat is edged withermine, and the four large cabochons seen at the front of the blossoming top are of brilliants and amethysts set in gold. The sleeves have a foundation of heavy cream satin, finished at the bottom with deep bands of Venetian point edged with velvet, and the upper part of each sleeve is concealed by three overlapping flounces of point appliqué. The waistcoat is of the point lace, and the little high stock and attached pieces are of tucked white chiffon. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1907. HE HAS WON! Senator Foraker's Resolution Passed at Last. AN INVESTIGATION Of the Brownville Riot by the Senate's Committee on Military Affairs Assured—The President Grilled HOW SENATOR FORAKER GRILLED PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. If the men of Co.'s B, C and D, Twenty-fifth infantry, were guilty it was easy to follow the law and order a trial. And for the president to act as he did act in the premises was a disgrace to American principles. The president has no so-called inherent power to discharge soldiers. Our president can make an order, but he cannot make an order having a retroactive effect, undoing something that has already been legally done. The president can give a discharge without honor only when the man to be so discharged has committed some minor offense and instead of assuring the defence and demanding trial, says: "I did it. I am sorry. I want to get out." There is no power lodged in anybody to accuse a man by order, try him by order or convict him by order. It is inalienable from the spirit of American law that any accused or injured man, however humble, shall have his day in court. ```markdown ``` Washington, D. C.—Senator Foraker's resolution for an inquiry into the riot at Brownsville, Tex., which led to President Roosevelt's unfortunate order dismissing "without honor" three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, was adopted by the senate Tuesday evening. Efforts made through the presentation of sub-resolutions to affirm the constitutionality and legality of the presidency, brought down by Under the terms of the resolution the senate committee on military affairs is to conduct the inquiry "without questioning the legality or justice of any act of the president." No further action with regard to the president's attitude will be considered by the senate until the committee has made its report, when Senator Foraker will see that it is thoroughly threshed out. The resolution was adopted without a roll call after five hours more of debate. This failure to secure a record of each senator's vote is not significant, however, as two test ballots had been taken by the ayes and nays which showed that the majority of the senate was determined to adopt Mr. Foraker's compromise. The first test was had upon a resolution of Senator Mallory, of Florida, democrat, which conceded that the president had full power to move the motion of Senator Foraker this was tabled by a vote of 3 to 22. The republicans, LaFolette, McCumber and Warner, voted with the majority of democrats and in opposition to all the other republicans against tabling the resolution. The Afro-Americans of their states should never forget this, but remember it for future use. Last week Thursday was really the closing day of the debate on the resolution, and Senator Foraker had the floor practically all day, making the third of his great speeches which have not been successfully replied to by even Senators Spooner, Knox and Lodge, the president's ablest defenders. This last effort of Mr. Foraker's was most telling and convincing, indeed, "Senator Knox," said Senator Foraker, "told us yesterday that there is inherent in the president to make his progress has not acted, and necessity has not acted. The senator is right, but the authority he quotes goes on to say that the rules made in this manner by the president can have the effect of law only provided they were made within the limits of his legal and constitutional authority. "The senator," continued the speaker, "has quoted from a writer named O'Brien, I had not been familiar with his work, but I am greatly obliged to the senator for making me acquainted with him. On page 30 of his book I find the following: The president's authority is absolute WITHIN HIS SPHERE, but it is bounded on all sides by law and beheld those bounds his command has NO FORCE.'' "What is a command and an order—it's the same thing. And yet the senator from Wisconsin (Spooner) asserted yesterday that the power of the president was inherent and that congress had no power to question or curtail it." Mr. Spooner arose and made an explanation, showing that even had he appeared to do or say this or that, he had not really done or said anything bearing the interpretation which Mr. Foraker sought to put upon it. "All right," the Ohioan rejoined; "but this book goes on to say that congress can so hamper the president of action that, but for his veto, he must be forced to at all. It seems to me that the difference between the senator from Wisconsin and myself is less one of principle than of application. The president's power. I gather from the authorities is limited to command, and GAZETTE. the nature of this commanding power is just the same as belongs to an admiral or to the general of an army. "Congress regulates things of general and permanent importance; the president handles matter of sudden and transient importance—particular cases. But inasmuch as congress regulates the raising of armies, it follows naturally that it must also regulate the discharge of soldiers from armies. The president has implied the other. The president has power to discharge soldiers; and no president has ever undertaken to exercise such power in time of peace. "I say that the senator from Wisconsin seems to support the opposite contention; though it is possible that I have misrepresented him; for he speaks, as we all know, so entertainingly, so eloquently, and so—er—fully, that it is impossible to remember all he says, though at first view he seems to support one side or the other how it is possible for a great lawyer and particularly for a great constitutional lawyer, to retain any convictions? • ask for information." Mr. Foraker's next statement brought up Senator Culberson, of Texas. The Ohioan had been speaking of the fact that the articles of war specified all the crimes that an enlisted man could commit, and that it had not been proved that the men that the president dismissed had committed any of them. "The crime of murder was committed at Brownsville," interjected Culberson, "and that is a crime which the articles of war do not provide for. But cannot the president discharge men from the army for murder." "But the crime was not proved against any of them," cried Foraker, "and all of them deny having committed it. All that the president could do was to hand them over to be tried by the civil authorities. He had no right to act as judge, jury and executor himself. Some senators seem to think that the president can override in the afternoon rules made by him in the morning. This is a startling principle to bring forward in a free constitutional country. "There has been of late years one ruler who acted on that principle—the late Oma Pau of South Africa. This potentate used, I believe, to make a new law every hour or so—whenever he needed one, and without reference to any preceding laws. But I doubt if even our president is prepared as yet to go quite as far as that. He can make an order, but he cannot make an order having a retroactive effect, undoing something that has already been legally done. "The president can give a discharge without honor only when the man to be so discharged has committed some minor offense, and instead of asserting innocence and demanding trial has said, 'Well, yes I did it, and I am sorry, and I want to get out.' It does lie within the discretion of the president to discharge a man who rejoins or is discharged under such circumstances.' Tillman arose. "A discharge can be GIVEN as a matter of grace," he said, "but it can't be administered to a man as a punishment." "That is exactly the case," rejoined Foraker, "and I thank the senator for supplying me with the statement. There is no power lodged anywhere in anybody to accuse a man by order, try him by order, or convict him by order. It is inalienable from the spirit of American law that any accused or injured man, however humble, shall have his day in court. That has been a principle of law ever since laws were made. I will read to the senators a passage from the trial of Paul, in "The Acts of the Apostles. Festus says, when asked to give up Paul to death, that it was not the custom of the Romans to condemn a man until he had been confronted with his accuser, and had had the libi of the accuser. Him, all shew Mr. President," exclaimed Foraker "fall below the sense of justice of the Romans two thousand years ago?" and he thumped the heavy Bible down on his desk with an air of finality. "I am speaking for a principle, not for individuals; I am speaking as much in behalf of the white soldiers as of the black. I am not limited in my position by considerations of the race problem. "My protest is against any man in this country being punished for a crime which has never been proved against him, and which he denies having committed. But the senator from Wisconsin has said that no crime has been officially charged against these men and that no punishment has been imposed on them. Let's see. The highest officials of this nation are not indefinite persons, are they—the president, the secretary of war—men like that? And those men say that some of the soldiers have rioted, some have done murder, some are guilty of misprison of treason. I say we ought to have an impartial investigation; and I think we ought to have it not only in justice to the men, but for the sake of the president. If the men were guilty," Mr. Foraker declared in conclusion, "it was easy to follow the law and order a trial. And for the president to act as he did in the premises was a disgrace to American principles." Senator Foraker's Resolution As passed Tuesday in the senate read as follows: Resolved, That, without questioning the legality or justice of any act of the president in relation thereto, the committee on military affairs is hereby authorized and directed, by subcommittee or otherwise, to take and have printed testimony for the purpose of ascertaining all the facts with reference to or connected with the affray at Brownville, Tex., on the night of Aug. 13-14, 1906. Said committee is authorized to send for persons and purposes, to administer oaths during sessions or recess of the senate, and, if deemed advisable, at Brownville or elsewhere, the expenses of the investigation to be paid from the cotingement fund of the senate. The Mass Meeting—Great Speeches —Would Shoot to Kill—Petition —500 Signers, Etc. "THE CLEVELAND PRESS" CHARGES. That Chas. A. Otis, jr., the publisher and controlling stockholder of the Cleveland News, is one of the four largest stockholders in the Cleveland Electric Railway Co., and until recently was a director in that company. That Medill McCormick, Jas. H. Dempsey, Chas. C. Bolton and C. A. Otis, jr., four of the seven directors of the Cleveland Leader, according to the last directors' directory, are all either personally or through their wives, large holders of stock in the Cleveland Electric Railway Co. That the purchase of the Cleveland News and Cleveland Leader about two years ago by the Cleveland Electric Railway directors and stockholders was for the sole purpose, and in effect was a conspiracy, to kill the low fare movement in this city by newspaper agitation. The mass meeting at Antioch Baptist church last week Wednesday evening to consider President Roosevelt's unfortunate discharge of Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, to assist Senator Foraker in his grand effort to rehabilitate the soldiers, and also to consider the contemptible insults heaped upon the Afro-Americans of this community by the Leader and the News, organs of the Cleveland Electric Street Railway Co., was indeed a grand success in spite of the many efforts to have it otherwise. All the speakers advertised were present and the editor of The Gazette presided. In a brief speech he explained the causes and nature of the meeting and introduced Hon. John P. Green, who for a half hour, greatly interested the audience, sustaining the position of Senator Foraker that resident Roosevelt had not been discharged without honor the companies, and took issue with Booker T. Washington, who advised our people to cease complaining as the result of mistreatment, etc. Mr. Green's historical references in support of his criticism of Mr. Washington's advice, were especially pertinent and met with frequent and enthusiastic aplause. Geo. W. Johnson was next introduced and told of his visit to our ministers, with copies of The News and The Leader, showing their use of the mongrel terms "coons, niggers, darkies, dingies, blackbirds, mokes, negresses, etc., up to and including that of the meeting. He also paidicular visits to the editors of the papers named, to Col. Horace Andrews and J. J. Stanley, president and vice president respectively, of the Cleveland Electric Street Railway Co., Mayor Tom L. Johnson and others, asking Messrs. Andrews and Stanley to use their influence with the stockholders and editors of The Leader and The News, who are also stockholders of their company, to bring about a stop of their newspapers' use of the insulting references to our people complained of. Concluding, he called attention to the fact that there were individuals of the race in this community who were seeking to benefit as a result of contemptible treatment of the meeting by securing cash advertisements, or contributions for churches and charitable institutions from the papers or their principal stockholders. He said such persons could not be denounced in too strong terms, because it was just such traitorous and shameful conduct that so often seriously cripples, if it does not defeat, sincere aggressive efforts against racial discrimination and mistreatment, and was roundly applauded. The next speaker was Rev. R. W. Bagnall, rector of St. Andrews Mission. He argued brilliantly that the effort upon the part of our people of the church to drive both papers from every Afro-American home, proving the necessity of such action as a matter of race and family defense, and produced so strong an argument as to earn the unqualified and enthusiastic approval of the large audience that filled the church, and made an impression that will long remain with those who so favored as to hear him. He pictured the miserable condition that would be the result of a failure upon the part of our people to put a stop to the use of the insulting mongrel terms upon the part of the two papers mentioned, and closed with an eloquent peroration calling upon the Afro-Americans of this community to stance together in this effort as never before. J. M. McKenzie and J. M. McKenzie with a spirited address of some length which also captivated the audience. He denounced in unqualified terms the shameful treatment of our SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. people of Cleveland by the Leader and the News and the president's discharge without honor of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry, and aroused the audience to a pitch of enthusiasm which was as pleasing and satisfactory as it was encouraging. Dr. Gilmore is certainly a fluent and effective speaker. At this stage of the meeting and after the chairman had spoken about 20 minutes, Mr. Green asked the chairman to permit him to tell the audience of a conference with stockholders and others of the two papers and his request was granted. He told of being for that afternoon by Mr. Medill McCormick managing the editor and stockholder of the banking firm he went to the office of that paper and met also its editor, Charles A. Otis, Jr., of the News, and another person, saying among other things that he told those gentlemen that he would like shooting anyone who would refer to his wife or daughter as a "negress," one of the most insulting terms both papers had been using. Mr. Green called the attention of the audience to the fact that 50 years ago he carried one of the papers as a newsboy and how well both old management, thus showing in an exceptionally bad light the miserable treatment accorded us under the new and press management. This conference and stockholders of the New York trustee of Antioch Baptist church seven days prior to the meeting for the purpose of causing its abandonment, shows that the managers of the papers in question have been hit a hard blow for the right as the result of the mass meeting. Messrs. McCormick, Editor Wright and Otis desired Mr. Green to say to the meeting that the objectionable features complained of the Gazette and our people would be eliminated. We hope. We shall be if so. then the meeting has not been held in vain. Prior to Mr. Green's second appearance upon the rostrum the chairman of the meeting ordered a forceful talk which roused the enthusiasm to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, the large crowd thundering its applause and termination to stand with him in the effort to bar the Leader and the News from every home possible in this community until their use of the contemptible terms has been discontinued. It was such an endorsement of a righteous stand as has seldom been witnessed in this city or elsewhere, Rev. Dr. H. C. Balle, pastor of the church, in a singularly able and passionate speech endorsed the reigning sentiment of the meeting in unstinted terms and presented a petition to the U. S. senate to stand by Senator Foraker in his effort to rehabilitate our soldiers discharged without honor by the president, which him and the minister advised and signed by over 500 members nearly all of whom were present at the meeting. The signed petition was forwarded to the senator at Washington, D. C. During the evening Antioch's chair rendered most acceptable music. The grand and successful gathering was dismissed as it was opened with a short prayer by Rev. Dr. Balle. As would naturally be expected, the meeting and its objects have been the topic of conversation among our people ever since, and they endorse it in the strongest possible manner. A DESERVED TRIBUTE Paid the Silver-haired Veteran Baptist, Rev. James Poindexter. Columbus, O.-Dr. E. L. Rexford (white) by a unanimous resolution passed at the annual meeting of the Universalist society, last week Wednesday evening, in the First Universalist church on East State street, was commended by his parishioners and re-elected to the pastorate of the congregation. Dr. Rexford, in the course of the discussion, took occasion to reply to some of his critics, who do not represent the strong element of his faith in the church's irritations. Among other things he said: "It comes to me that some people in my congregation complain because I have invited Rev. James John- [Illustration of a man with white hair and a dark shirt.] dexter into my pulpit. And I wish to remind you that that man has lived in honorable and unsullied life in this fifty for fifty years, and he has always been a defender of right things. He has done more to work out the great faith of this church in the Universal Brotherhood of man, than our preaching has done—notably in his fight against the black laws of Ohio fifty years ago, and I want to say that as long as James Polindexer can walk and his feet turn to this church, I shall invite him into my pulpit, and if we have any Universalists here we have so loudly in the brotherhood of all men that this culture this colored presence in the church, they can vacate it while this aged apostle of a real brotherhood prays."

In skinning Tillman recently, Senator Spooner did a job that is not done often enough in the U. S. senate. That is why the foul and coarse-mouthed one is so brazen in his talk there and on the lecture platform throughout the country. So the senate finally got enough of Tillman's coarse talk and made him apologize last week. Well, it's about time. Now let them put a stop for all time to it. It is a pity there is no way to compel him to discontinue punishing the people, of the north particularly, with his alleged lectures. That Columbus afray caused by a white man and an Afro-American's beating a "butter-in" whiskey-soaked white soldier recruit is no pareillel of the Brownville afray, and even if it was the war department would see to it that it was not "put up" to the president as the Texas riot was, "Blood is thicker than water" in the war department as everywhere else in the army and the country. Senator Tillman is one of the most influential public men in the country. He can defeat almost anything he advocates—Cleveland, Plain Dealer. The only LiLg that made us a little fearful that the senate might not pass Senator Foraker's now famous resolution of inquiry into the "Brownsville, Tex., Affray." Its escape of defeat can only be explained when one remembers that Tillman did not more than half advocate the principles Senator Foraker stood for in his advocacy of the passage of his resolution. The new governor of Alabama has been elected by a vote of sixty thousand, five thousand less than was given Gov. Jelks. This is a smaller vote than is cast in at least two counties of the state of Ohio. Over one hundred thousand whites and one hundred and eighty thousand Afro-Americans are disfranchised in that state by "law" contrary to the U. S. constitution and still nothing is said or done. This is equally true of other southern states. Has the republican majority in congress any respect for citizen rights and the provisions of the constitution anent them? Ask your congressman. Two years ago in cases from Texas and Alabama, the U. S. supreme court reversed the decision of the supreme court of both states and remanded the cases of two convicted Afro-Americans, to hang. The court held that, in all cases in state courts where our people are charged with crime, they are entitled to members of the race on jury, petit and grand jury. This decision is far-reaching and is of great interest. If every Afro-American who has been convicted on a criminal charge and sentenced, would appeal his case to the United States supreme court he would get a similar reversal. The supreme court of Mississippi, bowing to the highest tribunal's decision, has recently reversed a decision of a lower court, and as a result supervisors of various counties in that state are preparing lists of Afro-Americans as well as whites for petit and grand jury service, something heretofore unknown as far as Afro-Americans are concerned. Good. There are one hundred and eighty-five thousand Afro-American males of voting age in Alabama. This number added to two hundred and thirty-five thousand white males of voting age makes a total of four hundred and twenty thousand. There are no more than three thousand registered Afro-American voters in the state. The Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald declares that there are one hundred thousand disfranchised whites in the state. This statement, coming from a democratic daily newspaper, certainly the facts are not overstated. This is equally true of every state in the south having disfranchisement "laws," and nearly all of them have. It certainly is high time that there was an official investigation and other congress legislation relative to the treatment in general of our people in that section. The south has been "let alone" entirely too long already, and it is up to the large republican majority in both branches of the congress to take the necessary action to compel it to properly observe all the fundamental laws of the land. A GREAT VICTORY! Didn't we tell you many, many weeks ago that Senator Foraker would lead the fight to secure justice or our soldiers, if necessary? And it has been found very necessary! Didn't we also tell you that he would win in the matter of the adoption of his resolution of inquiry, and hasn't he won? "Well, I guess." And too, after one of the greatest, gamest and best conducted contests ever made in the United States senate. Now we shall learn whether all or any of the members of companies B, C and D, Twenty-fifth infantry, are guilty as charged, or innocent. The real fight is now to be started and it is going to be a "battle royal" which will wind up with a settlement of the question as to the president's constitutional or legal right to do as he did. Meantime nearly all, if not all of the 167 "discharged without honor" soldiers will be getting justice. Great indeed is Ohio's senior senator, the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, the next president of the United States. In his speech on Jan. 17 Senator Foraker proved that companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, had never participated in the shooting up of any place, person, or thing, and that they had absolutely no part in the bloody history which the war department sought to saddle on the regiment. Indeed he showed conclusively that the record of the three companies covering 40 years is without blemish. The affair at San Carlos, Arizona, was only a fist fight with some of the Indians stationed at that agency in which Afro-Americans of company C got decidedly the best of the contest as usual. He also showed to be untrue the various stories, like the one detailing an assault upon Capt. Macklin, imputed to ex-soldiers of the three companies, sent out from Ft. Brown and Ft. Reno when it was thought they would do the most harm. Great is our champion in the United States senate. ROTTEN TO THE CORE. The convict lease system of the south is rotten to the very core. This has always been the condition. Gov. Jeiks, of Alabama, in his recent message to his state's assembly, says: "The present system (in Alabama alone) is beyond words. I can hardly trust myself to write of it." Some one in authority ought to call the president's attention to this and have him do what he can to put an end to it, if only bombard the congress with a few of his now famous special messages. The convict lease system of the south is another form of peonage (slavery), only infinitely worse. If some one would only collect and publish a list of the number of illegitimate children born to female convicts (nearly all Afro-Americans) each year, the fathers of whom are the inhuman white wretches known as "guards" or overseers, the dormant moral sense of the country would be shocked and awakened as never before. At various times since the war of the rebellion, and especially since reconstruction days, spasms of righteous indignation, as a result of the nefarious system, have been taken on by a part of the people of the country as a direct result of an expose or two by quondam reformers, but in each instance the wealthy men of the north, one or more of them U. S. senators, who benefit by it as a result of membership in great corporations, have been able to stile and quiet the people, with the result that a maiming, murdering and brutalizing of southern Afro-American convicts by white brutes, that harbors description and outrivals the barbarous treatment of natives in the Congo Free State rubber region of Africa, goes steadily on to the everlasting disgrace of the boasted humanity, morality and intelligence of the United States of America. As long as God Almighty looks down upon such a hellish condition, hedged in by "law," too, there must be impending dire calamities as punishment at least for that section of the country. What are the religious leaders, black and white, of that section thinking, to almost daily witness the dire evils of the convict lease system, and make no effort whatever to awaken those in highest authority as well as the conscience of the nation? Where the Trouble Is. District Attorney J. H. Currle, (white) at Meridan, Miss., on January 7, in a charge to the grand jury, said: "The accursed shadow of miscegenation hangs over the south to-day like a pall of hell. We talk much of the Negro question and all of its possible ramifications and consequences, but, gentlemen, the trouble is not far afield. Our own people, our white men and their black conubia, are destroying the integrity of the Negro race, raising up a menace to the white race, lowering the standard of both races and preparing the way for riot, mob, criminal assaults, and, finally, struggle for racial supremacy. The trouble is at our own door. We have tolerated this crime long enough, and if our country is not run by policy rather than by law, then it is time to rise up and denounce sin of the earth. The white man who enters into unlawful and unholy relation with any race other than his own is an enemy to the peace of both races and a menace to the stability of our civilization." Color Line and Canal Line. From the president's Panama Canal message—hospital wards "for white patients and colored patients;" house for "unmarried white workmen" and for unmarried colored workmen;" cook sheds for the colored laborers, and (but) the government canteens, or hotels at the canteens, which they take their meals;" etc. etc.; from which it looks as though more progress has been made on the color line than on the canal line—Washington (D. C.) Horizon. Don't Take It.

Rear Admiral Davis' mission of mercy to stricken Kingston came to an abrupt and painful conclusion in consequence of Gov. Swettenham's objection to the presence of American sailors engaged in the work of clearing the streets, guarding property and succoring the wounded and sick, culminating in a sarcastic and insulting letter to the admiral peremptorily requesting him to reembark all parties which had been landed. Admiral Davis promptly saluted away with his three vessels. Sir Edward Grey, principal secretary of state, and Mr. Haldane, war secretary for Great Britain, sent messages to America virtually apologizing for the boorish conduct of Gov. Swettenham of Jamaica toward Admiral Davis and expressing the regret of Great Britain for the incident. The United States government will not press the matter. The mayor of Kingston sent to Mayor McClellan of New York an appeal for money and building material. American refugees from Kingston arrived in New York and issued a formal complaint against certain British officials in Jamaica and especially Capt. Parsons, of the steamer Port Kingston, which was chartered for Sir Alfred Jones and party. The captain is accused of driving refugees from his vessel, refusing them food, forcing them, including women and injured, to sleep on the docks and behaving generally in an inhuman and uncivil manner. Gen. Wint at Havana, in request of the British consul there, sent army tents to Kingston. Gov. Swettenham cabled his thanks to Washington, but did not explain his insults to Admiral Davis.

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED. Had Wrong idea of the Sound to Be Removed. Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently passed away, was universally respected by all who knew him, and his stories were listened to with much delight, says a writer in the Boston Herald. He used to tell the following with a great deal of interest: When a very small boy he asked his father to let him go with him to the town meeting. He went, with the promise that when he returned he would tell the folks what happened. In those days the church was supported by a tax on every property holder. Whatever of interest came up for the church had to be voted on at the town meeting. The pastor being feeble and his voice not strong, an article in the town warrant called for the removal of the sounding board from over the pastor's head, since it acted as an extinguisher, and not as originally planned. When Allen returned he told his mother about the sounding board, and said: "Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his squeaky voice: 'Mr. Moderator, I make a motion that we remove the sound from under the board.'"

There is a sufficient range of uncertainty in these figures to cause doubt whether detailed study has been made of the subject. BRING GOOD HEALTH Dr. William' Pink Pills, Used After the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline and Rebuild the System. Any bodily weakness caused by a deficiency in the blood can be cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because these pills actually make new blood. After attacks of the grip the blood is generally run down and the patient continues to decline. "About three years ago," says Mrs. Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry Street, West Bay City, Mich., "I caught a severe cold, which ran into the grip. I was confined to my bed for two weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I felt faint. My heart would tremble and if I did not be brought to the times, Neuralgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and I suffered from rheumatism in my shoulders. "I had the care of the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told me one day how she had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I soon felt better and continued using them until I was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect health and I use them now whenever I feel at all sick and they always help me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in such cases, as well as in other cases, because they not only drive off the sickness, but build up the system. The pills have cured anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of fevers, neuralgia, and many other severe disorders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

A representative of The Gazette went into a restaurant conducted by a white man last Saturday at noon for lunch, and as all the tables were filled, stood at the counter with a number of whites waiting to be served. Before his turn came to be waited on an aged white-haired Negro who came to Cleveland a few years ago from the south and who is employed as a boot-black and porter in a down town place of business, came in, took his stand at the counter near a corner next to a young white man and began immediately showing his servile training, murmuring apologies to him and "splitting his lips and teeth" with the subservient and silly grim. The young fellow half turned his back in the old man's face and said nothing, apparent disgusted, and not understanding or caring to listen. By this time the writer had been served and seeing a vacant seat at a crib in the humiliation, principally due to the humiliation and aggravation the aforementioned Negro men inducing. When an opportunism came after finishing the lunch, the writer tried to politely show the old man that he was making a mistake, but might as well have talked to an ignorant and stubborn drunken man. This is the kind of Negro who is doing the race here in the north untold injury and causing almost as much prejudice and discrimination as Tillman, Vardaman and their kind in the north and south. It will not be long before the old man mentioned and his kind will close the doors of that particular restaurant and others to our people just as they have already done in numberless cases in Cleveland and elsewhere in the north. O. the pity of it! The bane of the race is the servile Negro monkey. SKINS TILLMAN. Senator Soooner Did a Good Job, and Fearlessly, Too. Washington, D. C.—The president will never require any defense from the attacks of the senator from South Carolina," said Senator Spooner in his speech last week. "He has developed a mania for attacking the president. I have never been so surprised by any man's attitude as I have by that of the senator from South Carolina. He is so filled with animosity for the president that I do not believe his attacks will be taken seriously." Tillman attempted a reply, but Mr. Spooner declined to yield. He criticised Tillman for the harsh words he had hurled at the president in unempered speeches. He condemned Tillman for impeaching the motive of the president and ridiculed Tillman's claim that he stood for the fundamental principles of liberty. "Quote me accurately!" shouted Tillman. "You quote yourself," replied Mr. Spooner. Tillman then said that he had declared that it was the fundamental principle of English and American liberty that every man is innocent until he has been proved guilty. Mr. Spooner said that was the correct principle and that the South Carolina senator, contrary to that principle, had begun his speech on the race by convicting the whole black race by threatening Tucker for the sentiment before uttered that "We shot 'em, we killed 'em, and we'll do it again." "No man ought to encourage such a horrible thing as that. It is a crime against civilization to encourage it." "I often have been shocked," he said, "by the attitude of the senator from South Carolina when he has spoken here in justification and sup- plication of what. If there is one man who ought not to encourage it, it is the man who sits here as the maker of haws." LEGAL NOTICE.

When James P. Magenis was chief deputy in the internal revenue service he was stricken with a severe attack of typhoid fever, and it was some weeks before he was able to resume his duties. Before his illness his hair was luxuriant, but after it a bald spot began to show, which was noticed by a deputy, who spoke to him about it. "Pardon me, Jim," he said, "but you are getting bald, and you know a head of hair like yours is quite a novelty these days." "Yes," said Magenis, "I have been told my hair was quite a novelty, but do you know," he said, and a gleam of fun was in his eye. "I notice since my illness, that every time I run my hand over the top of my head the novelty is wearing off." TERRIBLE TO RECALL. Five Weeks in Bed With Intensely Painful Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Mary Wagner, of 1367 Kossuth avenue, Bridgeport, Conn., says: "I was so weakened and generally run down with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and was so weak and gener ally run down with kidney les ease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backkaces, headaches and at times dizzy spells when everything was a blur before me. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and painful, and there was considerable sediment and odor. I don't know what I would have done but for Doan's Kidney Pills. I could see an improvement from the first box, and five boxes brought a final cure." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn Cb. Buffalo, N. Y. Developing the Sudan.

Value of Rural Telephone Value of Rural Telephone The telephone is the only protection a good many rural communities have against fire and crime, and it has proved a very effective one. Few towns or villages have adequate fire fighting apparatus or can afford an alarm system, and in the old days when a cloud of smoke or a glow of flames against the sky gave the first signs of threatened destruction a farmer's buildings might be burned to the ground before help enough to do any good could reach him. Now if a fire starts anywhere along a rural telephone line the nearest subscriber calls central up and tells her what has happened. She notifies all the neighbors, those on other lines as well as those nearest to the scene of trouble. In many towns of considerable size the telephone has been organized into a regular fire alarm system, and a factory bell or whistle is used to give the code signals. A woman who can read aloud well is a pleasant companion. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets. Drugs retired money has to cure. E.W. GROVES signature is on each box. 26.

Life Without Mind The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through its advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. He believes that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are more moving machines, having no more intelligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and ascribes it to the same cause that inclines the plant to grow toward the light. AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA. Covered with Yellow Sores—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cuticura Drove Sores Away. "Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. We called in the family doctor, and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over, and said that he could not do anything more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged $10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been slick about eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. N. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co., N. Y. August 17, 1906." SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by French Bigamist. At Versailles, France, recently a baker was tried on a charge of polygamy, having married five women, who are living and undivorced. The pentagamist's defense was that he had not married the women; they had married him. When they proposed he had not the courage to say no. Neither money nor love, he said, had prompted his nuptials; he was the victim of the stronger wills of his successive spouses. Of the five wives three appeared as witnesses, but did not prosecute, saying that their common husband was a toper of whom they were glad to get rid. He was acquitted—on what ground does not appear. As all the years in which the multiplex husband took wives were leap years except 1881, in which it would seem that in four out of the five cases the women had the right to propose. But the man had the right, even in the leap years, to decline, and it was up to him at least to explain to his fair suitors that he was engaged. To establish the principle that a man is not responsible for the number of his wives unless he himself does the courting, would be plainly against public policy. If "Barkis is willin," that at once puts all the responsibility on him, no matter who managed the prelimiaries. WHITE BREAD Makes Trouble for People with Weak Intestinal Digestion. A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who instructed her not to eat white bread for two years. She tells the details of her sickness and she certainly was a sick woman. "In the year 1887 I gave out from overwork, and until 1901 I remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors but nothing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal congestion, female trouble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts and the only medicine was a little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. "When I was up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and no white bread for two years. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. "My brain has been helped so much, and I know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. I found I had$^1$ been made ill because I was not fed right, that is I did not properly digest white bread and some other food I tried to live on. "I have never been without Grape-Nuts food since and eat it every day. You may publish this letter if you like so it will help someone else." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

Sloan 615 Albany St. Boston, Mass. Berth Was Reserved. Franklin K. Lane, interstate commerce commission, went west last week. He wanted to reserve a berth from Chicago to Minneapolis. He wired the request and this reply came back: "Can't do it. Interstate commerce commission will not allow it." He fired a wire back reading: "By what authority do you say interstate commerce commission will not allow you to reserve a berth in a sleeping car?" The Pullman agent answered: "By the authority of a recent ruling." Mr. Lane was interested by this time and he telegraphed: "I am a member of the interstate commerce commission and am not familiar with the ruling. Give me a reference." And a short time afterward he received this telegram: "Berth reserved." Thoroughly Reliable If ever there was a reliable and safe remedy it is that old and famous porous plaster—Allcock's. It has been in use for sixty years, and is as popular to-day as ever, and we doubt it there is a civilized community on the face of the globe where this wonderful pain reliever cannot be found. In the selection of the ingredients and in their manufacture the greatest care is taken to keep each plaster up to the highest standard of excellence, and so pure and simple are the ingredients that even a child can use them. Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and are sold by Druggists all over the world. Judges on Their Dignity.

Every day there is a small crowd waiting to see the stately procession. The other day Justice Moody, as the youngest member of the august body, brought up the rear. A flicker of a smile appeared on his face as he noted the black-robed figures ahead of him, but it passed away instantly and he became as solemn and grave as the others.

"George, dear," said Priscilla, over her daily task, "wilt thou not help me with my skins?" "By the tower of London—no!" roared George, as he sharpened his lance. "You haven't a spinning wheel for a husband." Two hours later George returned from the fray with his armor battered and torn. "Dearest Priscilla," he said, softly, "wilt thou no put a few patches on my dress suit?" "No. George," replied Priscilla, sweetly. "You haven't a blacksmith for a wife." And the bold knight was so humiliated he went over to Ye Frozen Heart tavern and stood the tavern-keeper off for a tankard.

You can do you know who are perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, fear of being in sensations, fatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness.
