THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 27. STYLES for the MAIDEN FANCY BALL ROOM COSTUMES The styles offered for maiden wear are remarkable for taste. To be sure the season requires elegance, but this is obtainable by such restraining measures that the resultant effect is eminently desirable. In fact so generally superior are misses' things in point of reasonableness that many women of small stature buy their-made garments at the young people's shops. The fancy bodices there shown are built with an eye to the human frame, and with their small sleeves, modest garnishings and dainty models, the duessen once make excellent, odd and beautiful garments, the same with gowns and coats, those supplied for 16 years quite adequately suiting many a slim mamma. The trousseau of a girl smartly placed in life, however, is by no means a small item. In family expenses. Street Costume and Visiting Dress. Everything must be of good material well made and express the changes which show eternally in fashion's cal endar. A long coat must be faultless in line, and since fur is so fashionable it must either be fur trimmed or set off with a smart set. A number of the three-quarter coats, the best models of which hang with a sack looseness, show deep colars and cuffs in skins of a fairly inexpensive nature. Beaver is one of these, such a skin showing perhaps upon a shaggy wool, while a long-haired fur, like fox, skunk or lynx, will be used upon a smooth cloth. The velvet and braid-trimmed coats are usually in more fitted styles, for frequently the fur-trimmed coat is fur lined, a doubling of lock-squirrel, which is quite inexpensive, going with any skin outside. Some very smart paletots were of English tweed in broad checks, grays, blues, browns and dull reds showing in these, with bold barrings of black and color. The velvet trimmings may match the background of cloth or the check line, and the buttons used are of bone and very large. On plain cloth coats, cloth-covered buttons are sometimes set in a rim of gun metal. As to the separate coat it is decidedly an extra in the maiden wardrobe, for everything is subservient to a complete suit for street wear. The short skirt of this takes on many styles of plaiting, and the coat may be a belted blouse, a hip length In Union There is Strength. sacque or short eton. The half-fitting sacque models are more generally preferred, the skirts with these suits, which are often entirely without trimming, showing a close side plating and narrow plain apron. Many a coat fits the body without a shade of fulness at the back and as the effect of these with their short and rather narrow skirts is skimpy, huge fur sets give the look of richness required. Vast flat muffs hanging with soft tails will be carried by girls as young as 16, and to give the hand warmer due prominence, a soft liberty handkerchief only will sometimes be folded about the neck inside the coat. Walking gowns along fashionable streets give many ideas for the buyer of ready-mades, as the wearers generally display the best things in fashion. A charming frock worn by a slim maid of or perhaps less was a heavy English cloth in blue and green Scotch plaids. With this went a big fur set of Japanese fox, whose iron gray set off the gown most handsomely. The hat was of gray-white felt with a sprawling bovine covering the crown of pale blue satin ribbon, and a fancy blue feather cutting over at the back. Red is par excellence a maiden color this season, and some charming walking frocks are seen in it. One in a deep copper tone showed collar and cuffs of black astrakhan, a white hat with white plumes going with this. Most often the maiden gown in cloth has only stitching for ornament, if one may exclude the elaborate plaitings of the skirt and the dainty laces, embroideries and wide belts which begay the bodice. But sometimes there are bias bands put on in ornamental ways, or bands of velvet or silk, and with a fur-trimmed skirt, may go a little jacket all in the same pelt. With gowns in white, pale true, gray and old rose,ermine or white astrakhan or saracal will be used effectively. Soutache braids in the gown color may likewise edge the fur trimmings and ornament the jacket somewhat, but there is no more lovely combination even for the younger girl than white and black. As regards evening dress, the maidenly frock is generally designed with an eye to practicability, for, of course, there is rarely more than one strictly evening frock. Such soft or girlish textures as respond to shirring, tucks and frills are much used; liberty silk, messageil, muslin and chiffon are prominent among these, the gowns being in white or the faintest tints, and showing no fussiness whatever. Some degree of decouletage is used for the bodice, and puff sleeves vary in length till the elbow is reached. Skirts never train, even when a girl has reached the age of 20, but fall short of slipper tops or else barely touch the floor. A round sweep, which is sometimes facilitated by a light featherbone wire at the skirt hem, effects the look desired. In our larger illustration we show two very handsome costumes for the fancy dress ball, which will prove suggestive to young women who want to have something in original design for such occasion. One of specially unique and beautiful design represents a basket of roses. The effect is carried out in pink chiffon with silver braid plaited to imitate basket work for the corsage and real roses are used for trimming. The other is a costume representing winter. It is of white net spotted with swan's down for snowflakes, and is adorned with holly and mistletoe which are peculiarly suggestive of the winter season. The costume is completed byermine berthe, muff and cap. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1907. --- BY OUR SENATOR. Guests "Go Wild" Over Senator Foraker's Reply and Cheer Him "To the Echo." "Beards the Lion in His Den." In his earnestness the Ohio senator walked toward the president, and shaking his finger at him, emphasized his declarations. Going in between the tables, which were arranged in the form of a gridiron, he stood directly in front of Mr. Roosevelt, and told the president some things about usurpation of power by the executive that no one before has ever dared to tell him to his face. --- Washington, D. C.—An impromptu, very interesting and somewhat spectacular, discussion of the Brownsville affair took place between President Roosevelt and Senator Foraker at a dinner given by the Gridiron club Saturday night. The president during his remarks made a reference to the “academic discussion” of the Brownsville affair. For about 20 minutes Senator Foraker devoted himself to setting forth reasons why the president would have reason before long for regretting that he ever used the words “academic discussion” of a matter that so vitally affects the rights of a person, whom the constitution guarantees freedom in person and property. He referred to the case of Mingo Sanders, the servant served 26 years, and in a short time would be entitled to retirement on a pension of $30 a month and a right to end his days in the National Home for Soldiers of the regular army had he not been dismissed without honor by the president, who in dismissing him had violated a very plain law of congress, and thereby made himself amenable to the processes of law, besides laying himself open to a well-founded charge of having done the greatest injustice to a man who, it might be supposed, would have no powerful friends to assist him. Mr. Foraker protested against a discussion of such a case being called “academic” and deplored the fact that it now seemed to be the idea that the president could do no wrong when the evidence of the law. When the senator finished, many of them rised from their places to get over to him to congratulate him. The challenge to the president to defend his position was too plain for a fighter like him to decline. He took up the gaze, rising immediately after Mr. Foraker had taken his seat, without waiting for the toastmaster to invite him to reply. Those who were pleased with the senator’s utterances, continued cheering for a minute after Mr. Rosevelt rose to his feet. They kept it up even after he had began speaking and gesticulating to emphasize the points he was making. Those sitting near him heard some of his words. In substance, his reply was that he had done nothing for which he apologized or had any regrets; not even for the so-called injustice to Mingo Sanders. He insisted that the discussion was “academic,” because the incident was closed, and that no matter what the senate or congress would do, he The lift between the president and the senator was a battle royal. The former saw fit to make the attack and the Ohio senator promptly and most effectively resented it. The one preached a sermon on the duty of every one to see the light as he saw it, and the other resented the encroachment, even of a president, upon the individual conscience. Both the president and senator were at their best. When Mr. Foraker rose to reply to the president's attack he was ashen white. He felt he had been singled out in a promiscuous company to be insulted. From the opening sentence he was more than virile. He did not gratefully flings at himself while the senate over his head. He denied even to a president the right to instruct him in his duties as a senator. His review of the Brownsville episode was keen and direct. His deduction that the final record of the case would be rightly adjudged was in a vein of withering rebuke. The arrows he shook must have found a mark, for even before he finished the president was restive and eager to interject a running debate, rather than let the victorious senator alone undisturbed to the finish. The president spoke 30 minutes. The senator had the floor 20 minutes. In those 50 minutes, however, events occurred so fast that it curtailed four courses of the dinner. I have heard Mr. Foraker in the senate on many occasions, but I have seen him appear to better advantage than he did. Sunday night, He was truly eloquent; gave the president the plainest talk he has probably ever listened to. Senator Foraker declared with great dramatic effect that his oath of office was as sacred to him as was the president to him, and no preachments from the White House were essential to the proper performance of his duty as a senator. He gradually worked up to a splendid climax, declaring, with GAZETTE. arms outstretched toward the president: "No one in this country ever loved the president more than I did. No one ever fought harder for him, or more loyally. That was when he was in right. But wrong. I have opposed him, and shall always do so. That is the way I see my duty to my conscience, my constituents, and my country, and I am glad I am able to say this in the presence of our distinguished chief magistrate. The people of my own state know I do my duty as I see it, and they know, as I myself have told them, that they can retire me if they believe I have a mis conception of it." The responsibility for the unpleasant incident must rest with the president, for he started the ball rolling so to speak. Before the close of the dinner, the president of the club directed the club cartoonist to draw a picture of the president, considerably, for the president proposed a toast to Senator Foraker, who had been pictured as his "best friend" in the senate. ITS ANNUAL ELECTION Eaker Street Church Exercises Vested Rights Recently Determined by Means of a Trial Dayton, O.—The church here known as Eaker Street A. M. E. church held its annual election of trustees last week Tuesday evening and the following members were selected: Thaddeus W. Wheeler, Isham Randolph, William A. Shaw, for three years; John T. Merriwether, William L. Avery, William Daugherty, for two years; Kirkwood W. Anderson, Harvey E. Wallace, Willes Markhure, for one year. Almost the entire membership was present. The election marks a new epoch in the history of the local church, as the members exercised the right given them by the discipline of the church under Ohio articles of incorporation, dated June 23, 1882. This right was determined in a trial held last week Monday yening in the case of Rev T. W. Woodson vs. Isham Randolph, William A. Shaw and Thaddeus W. Wallace, members of the on-going board, made the ordination Or hour before the trial an effort was made by the plaintiff to hold it held closed doors, but this attempt was thwarted. During the trial the defendants were not permitted the choice of one juryman. A demurrier to the charge filed by the defendants was overruled by Rev W. H. Toney, of Lebanon, who presided. After the examination of the prosecution, accused, witnesses on both sides, and every advantage had been taken by the plaintiff, the jury returned a verdict for the defendants of not guilty and for the specificifications. About 400 persons were in the court which was held at the church. On Thursday evening of last week the trustees took their oath of office and organized by electing Thaddeus W. Wheeler, president; William A. Shaw, vice president; John T. Merriwether, secretary, and Isham Randolph, treasurer, for the ensuing year. COL PHIL WATERS Mr. Phil Waters, of Charleston, W.

SENATECOMMITTEE Three New Cavalry Troops—The President and Sergeant Mingo Saunders' Case. Washington, D. C.—The senate committee on military affairs decided last week to begin taking testimony on the Brownsville affair on Monday, before the full committee. Subpenas were issued at once for commissioned and noncommissioned officers of the discharged battalion, and for some of the enlisted men. As the court martial of some of the men will be held in Texas on the same date, the committee may find it necessary to examine a part of these men prior to Monday. It was determined that no counsel should be permitted to appear. In order to make provision for the troops of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth infantry, who can not accompany those organizations to the Philippines because their terms of enlistment will expire in a few months, Gen. Bell has decided to create three troops of cavalry, one each at West Point, Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in which these men can serve out the remainder of their terms. The first steps towards reenlisting members of CoS. B, C and D, Twenty-fifth infantry, were taken Jan. 24 by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft when first Sergeant Mungo Saunders appeared before Judge Advocate General. Davis to make his statement as to his innocence of any complicity in the affair. There the matters rests temporarily. Washington, D. C—Senator Warren, chairman of the senate military and committee Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft have witnessed witnesses in the Brownville investigations, both of which will be begun Monday, shall first testify at Brownville and then come to Washington. This agreement was reached to avoid a conflict in demands for witnesses. The senate will first examine the enlisted men of the discharged battalion. Senator Foraker and Ridicule. The president's side of the Brownville ville matter will not be helped, his friends should know, by any ridicule of Mr. Foraker. Neither will the Ohio senator be hurt by such tactics. He is quite beyond the reach of such influence, and stands four-square in all the cheap scorn that blows his reputation. He is an amiable to imagine that such a man can be driven from the field by the clapstrap of everyday politics. He stands in his own shoes, and is responsible to his own constituents, and what as man and lawyer and senator he sees in the treatment of the soldiers who have been dismissed from the army in disgrace because of the Brownville episode is worthy of the senate's and the country's attention. Mr. Foraker, the senator, has been ridicule by it, and cannot be conquered by it now. Better try argument and a few facts, well authenticated, in the present case—Washington (D. C.) Star. RACE PROBLEM ONE FOR THE STOMACH TO DECIDE. Make Negresses Good Cooks and the Negroes Good Laborers, Says Booker T. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 24—Booker T. Washington addressed to night the first Negro race conference ever held in South Carolina, at the Columbia theatre. The first floor was reserved for white people. On the stage were several white citizens and a large number of Negro leaders. Washington said: "We of both races are to live here in the south side by side for all time, no matter what theories may be advanced and emphasized. This to any sensible man, it seems to me, is the fact which we must face. "It is tremendously important that the Negro be happy, that peace exist between the races, because there can be no satisfactory labor when the white man and the black man are at dagger points. "There is not a white family in South Carolina that should not be vitally interested in the improvement of the Negro woman—especially in the improvement of the Negro cook, the Negro nurse. "Right here in Columbia there should be a large central training school for the training of domestic servants. Such a school should be in every large city in the south"—Thrice-a-Week N. Y. World.

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. Who put Teddy on the gridiron last Saturday night? And how he howled with rage and pain! O, dear! We are fortunate indeed to have Senator Foraker a member of the senate committee on military affairs. The senate's investigation of the Brownsville riot will clear a whole lot of atmosphere in the vicinity of the White House as well as the Army Navy building. "Teddy" bumped up against "the real thing" at the Gridiron dinner, didn't he? Senator Foraker is the match of any tried statesman in public life, and the president is still young in years as well as in experience of that kind. We cannot believe the president used the vulgar "coon" expression imputed to him in the Washington dispatches of the first of the week and we know Senator Foraker would not do so. He is far and away above that sort of thing. A dispatch from Baton Rouge, La. January 18, announced that "the industrial Order of America, composed of about 50,000 Afro-Americans," in national convention there, had indorsed President Roosevelt's action in discharging without honor the soldiers of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry. This is the first time we have ever heard of such an organization among our people and are inclined to believe that it is and that some southern As sociated Press representative (Ilar) has been drawing on his very vivid imagination again. Some one should inform the Chicago Evening Post that Ohio Afro-American voters number considerably over 30,000, and that Secretary Taft can never get their support for the presidency, or any other elective office until he repudiates his notoriously inimical Greensboro, N. C., speech, and can right the fearful wrong he has done those outraged companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry. It is nonsense to say that Taft merely acted as a member of the president's cabinet in his malicious attacks on those defenseless soldiers. The great majority of Ohio Afro-Americans would support William Jennings Bryan for president before they would Taft. "The Colored Agricultural and Educational Institute" or Fair Company, of Columbus, O., that a dispatch from Washington, D. C., to the daily papers of the country on Tuesday, announced had sent a delegation to invite the president to stop in that city in June or July and "deliver an address to the Negroes of Ohio," is only a few men of the race who most positively do not represent the Afro-Americans of Ohio or any one except themselves. The prime mover of the alleged fair company is the same individual who lured Vice President Fairbanks and Dr Hooker T. Washington to a FIASCO under the head of a fair, in Columbus last summer, that was not only a disgrace to our people of that city but those of the entire state. This is one time we trust the president will confer with Mr. Washington before deciding to go to Columbus at any time at the request of the "Colored Agricultural and Educational Institute." 1 OKLAHOMA. The enabling act providing for the admission of Oklahoma requires that the constitution of the state shall make no distinction in civil or political rights on account of race or color. And it requires that the constitution shall provide that the state shall never enact any law restraining or abridging the right of suffrage on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. So it seems that congress has pretty effectually prevented the disfranchisement of the Afro-American in the new state. It now seems certain that the constitution will provide for separate schools and separate cars for our people; and it may contain educational qualifications intended to reach the Afro-American, though at the present time this would affect many white people as well. For the native Afro-American, thanks to the Indians who have maintained schools for him, is much better educated than those from the states. Oklahoma's constitution is subject to review in the first instance by the president. If he shall decide that in every respect it conforms to the enabling act passed by congress he will make a proclamation to that effect and Oklahoma will then be a state. If, however, he shall decide that the constitution is repugnant to the enabling act, his proclamation does not issue. The leaders of the constitutional convention are too shrewd to imperil the success of their work by attempting any such discrimination against the Afro-American as is found in some of the southern states, but it will be interesting to observe how near the line they will go, having in mind the scrutiny to be given their work by a president who will not be fooled and who will demand good faith and fair play for our people, we hope. The President Given Scathing Lecture An excoriation which none of those present will ever forget was handed the president by Senator Foraker at that Gridron club dinner. Saturday night, according to one diner, "It was one of the most complete and effective excoriations I have ever heard," he said. The president, in talking of the Brownsville case, made it plain that he was addressing Foraker. Foraker is quoted as replying: "No one ever loved the president more than I did. No one ever fought harder for him or more loyally. That was when he was in the right. But wrong I have opposed him and shall always do so. "That is the way I see my duty to my conscience, my constituents and my country, and I am glad I am able to say this in the presence of our distinguished chief magistrate. The people of my own state know I do my duty as I see it, and they know as I myself have told them that they can retire me if they believe I have a misconception of it." When the senator had finished, according to the listener, "the president jumped to his feet and struck back, but he did not have time nor could he find words to retort effectively. He declared between clenched teeth that the only place the Brownsville battalion could get justice was at the White House—the senate could not mete it out to the discharged Negroes, because the power lay with him and him alone. He will learn differently ere long. The silly "all coons look alike" story in which both the president and senator are said to figure, sent out by the Washington, D. C., correspondents of the Cleveland Leader and other Negro-hating daily papers of the country, is a lie pure and simple. Senator Foraker as a Leader As a leader of men Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, has demonstrated that he is a match for all the Lodges, Spooners and Beveridges in the senate, as he has out-generaled and out-orated them at every point in the protracted discussion of the Brownsville affair. It is true that he had an immeasurable advantage in his job—he had truth and right and the law on his side, and that in every issue means much. Senator Blackburn's resolution affirming the constitutionality of the president's order dismissing the troops, like the Lodge resolution preceding it and was sidetracked, is just what the republican senators do not want and have been dodging ever since the Brownsville matter was precipitated in the senate by Senator Foraker. And in the final result Senator Foraker got what he started out to get—an official investigation of the Brownsville affair. When we have got that, we have been forced to question the "legality or justice" of the president's order by congressional vote—N. Y. Age. Berea College's "Jim Crow" Annex. Berea college is making an appeal for $500,000 with which to operate a separate and distinct college, a sort of "Jim Crow" annex, for Afro-Americans. It should not get a cent. President Frost has yet to free himself from the suspicion that he fathered the class legislation separating the races in Berea college passed by the Kentucky legislature. The Afro-Americans of Kentucky should keep in mind the fact that the trustees of Berea college have in their possession valuable property in buildings, grounds and endowment fund, a portion of which, at least, belongs to them by bequest of the donors, and that they should not sit idly and see their property used wholly for the benefit of white pupils. At least half of the property of Berea college belongs to the Afro-American people, and they should contend for their rights. And why should the Afro-Americans of Kentucky attend Berea college when they have plenty of colleges of their own in the state? They certainly should not allow the owners of their own property to "Jim Crow" them.—N. Y. Age. A Soldier's Statement. "Colored soldiers are so placed that they are at the mercy of any white hoodium who may desire to molest them, and they have no redress. They cannot defend themselves. If they do and are on a military reservation they are court-martialled; if off, they are surrendered to the mercy of the civil authorities. Recently when a lynching of one of our men was threatened at our very doors the officers took no steps to prevent it; when the soldiers, seeing the indifference of the officers, went out themselves to prevent the lynching, troops were sent out under officers to intercept them; and the authorities, falling to find out who the men were who took matters into their own hands to go to the assistance of a comrade abandoned by his officers, laid the blame on the non-commissioned officers, reducing several in addition to sentencing one to six and out to three months' confinement, because they would not prevent their men from going out to prevent the lynching of one of their number."—N.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States supreme court, has granted a writ of error in the case of Ed Smith, sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary for attacking a young girl at an orphans' home in this city. The sentence had been affirmed by the state supreme court. The writ of error was granted on the allegation that the names of no Afro-Americans were placed in the jury box from which the panel for the trial of Smith was drawn. It is a fact that there were no Afro-Americans on the jury, but the state alleges that the names of three were in the jury box, and that one of the summoned at the same term was excused. The attorneys for the defense are alleging that the rights of Smith were curtailed, and that he was not given the privileges accorded him under the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. Parker H. Serccombe in "To-Morrow." If humanity's brutal treatment of the weak, unprotected and impoverished always and everywhere else were not sufficient to stamp our civilization thus far a failure, and our brutalization under the modern system complete, surely a true story of the Atlanta race riots (a story that will never be told by the white folks) would stand as evidence of our total depravity sure and complete. Every one familiar with the facts in Atlanta knows that this war against the blacks in Atlanta was maliciously planned and fomented for weeks and months prior to the outbreak, and that at least three of the reports of attacks on white women by Negroes on the day of the outbreak were pure inventions timed in order to give impetus to the movement by those to whose interests it was to break down Negro prestige.

TIMELY ARRIVAL OF POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN AVERTED A DISGRACEFUL TRAGEDY. Pittsburg, Pa.—C. A. Jackson, a negro, bleeding from many wounds on the head, is locked up in the Central police station following an exciting and almost successful attack to bring him to court by several hundred persons on Fifth avenue, between Wood and Market streets, right in the heart of the business district. The trouble originated in front of the Associated Press office. A newsboy asked the negro to buy a paper. Jackson shoved him roughly into the street. The boy threw a stone and struck Jackson on the head. The negro jumped to the street and began choking the boy. The street was thronged with men. The incident was hurting and a Yelpole was many people for street cars to go to their homes. In a moment several men caught the negro and began beating him. Some one cried "lynch the nigger" and hundreds of men and boys rushed upon Jackson. Canes, stones and closed fists were the chief weapons used by the mob. Backed up against a building Jackson, trembling with fear, shielded his face with his arms while the crowd beat him and tore his clothes. About this time several other negroes used to protect Jackson. Immediately there were cries of "lynch them." The infuriated mob, crying all the while "kill all the negroes," caught several other negroes and proceeded to bump their heads against the stone buildings. Jackson, bleeding and his clothes on turn off, was temporarily forgotten and he ran down Fifth avenue. Just below Fifth street Jackson ran into the arms of several policemen. The officers ran Jackson into an alley and attempted to hold the crowd with their night sticks. They were fast losing ground, however, when a large force of city firemen came to their aid. The police and firemen till a patrol wagon loaded with officers responded to a riot call. Within a few minutes the crowd scattered. FIVE CONTRACTS ARE VOID. Decision Rendered in the Suits of the City of Philadelphia vs. D. J. McNichol & Co. Philadelphia, Pa.—Judge Bottler Wednesday handed the suit a decision in the lawsuit of the city against the firm of D. J. McNichol & Co. to recover $5,000,000 which it was alleged had been fraudulently received by the firm on contracts for the construction of the city's filtration plant. The members of the firm at the time the original contracts were awarded were Mrs. McNichol, wife of State Senator James P. McNichol; Israel W. Durham, the republican leader; John M. Meck and J. McNichol. Sixteen contracts of $10,000,000 were involved in the suits. Judge Beitler declares null and void five contracts aggregating $274,456,62 which were awarded at the time Senator McNichol was a member of councils, which bodies ratified the contracts. He decides that they were obtained illegally, sustaining the contention of the city that Mrs. McNichol and D. J. McNichol were never more than figureheads in the firm. The court decides that the five contracts were wrongfully obtained and instructs the contractors to make an accounting to the city of the actual cost of material and work done on these contracts and to refund to the city any profit. Five other contracts for a total of $1,200,000 were sustained and six were not ruled on, having been all ready nullified by the city. LOST IN CHESAPEAKE BAY.

And so there are members of the city who swallow such treatment, argue against our peoples' protesting against it, endeavor to justify and make excuses for it and advertise the News, recommending it to our people of this city. To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again, to right the wrongs of many—Ella Wheeler Willecox. The entertainment and dance at Halnorth's hall Monday night developed a fight between a young man and a special police officer who reproved the former for using obscene language in the presence of women. It may not be long before such encounters as this will again close the doors of that place to our people. This affair threw a damper on what otherwise would have been a successful affair. Chief Anderson, of Ocindinnia, was presented a beautiful silver pitcher recently by local True Reformers at their hall. In addition to the presentation there were social, literary and musical features. Prior to the above, the True Reformers entertained Mr. and Mrs. Jere Warrick, of Frank street. Mrs. Warrick arrived from Virginia just before the holidays, her husband having stolen a march on his many local friends by having the ceremony performed at the home of the bride last summer. In a desperate attempt to avoid arrest on a serious charge Monday night the police brought him down with two shots. One bullet went through Murray's right forearm and the other plowed through his right jaw, smashing it. Murray probably will die. He operates a small farm at Bedford, and was wanted by the police on a charge of assaulting Helen Wilkinson Murray, 12 years old, his adopted daughter. The Caterers' ball at Grays' Armory last week Thursday night was certainly a delightful affair. The attendance was large, the music excellent, the ladies finely gowned, and practically all of the gentlemen in evening attire. The supper, which was furnished without extra cost, was delicious and everything passed off smoothly and most agreeably. Mr. Joseph Hackley, who was in charge, ably assisted by Joseph R. Slimmons and many other guests, the club is entitled great deal of praise for the success of the affair. Calcium lights were used to a distinct advantage throughout the evening, creating many very pretty scenes in which the dancers were conspicuous. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Trimble, of Detroit street, Lakewood, celebrated their 20th marriage anniversary Monday evening and at the same time tendered a delightful reception to their guest, Mrs. L. Davis, of Indianapolis, our leading business woman of that city who came to Cleveland to attend the Caterers' ball and Mr. and Mrs. Trimble's anniversary celebration. She is in the catering business in Indianapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Trimble received many nice presents and served a bountiful repast to their guests. Decorations, pink and white. A feature of the evening was Mrs. Davis' reading of an exceptionally well prepared paper which she read at the National Afro-American Business Men's league meeting held last fall in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. and Mrs. Trimble's celebration and reception proved a most enjoyable social function indeed. LEGAL NOTICE.

One of the most interesting performances of modern times is the handling of the malls in great ocean steamships. Some of the men become so expert at sorting that they work almost automatically, many of them being able to put their finger on any particular town marked on the rack blindfolded. On ainary western trip they carry on an assignment 250,000 letters and 10,000 registered packets. The latter have all to be written up in detail in their books during the voyage, and this takes more time than the actual sorting. The officials do not always manage to finish the work by the time they reach port, and when such is the case they accompany what is left to the general post office and complete the job there. Invigorate the Digestion. To invigorate the digestion and stimulate the torpid liver and bowels there is nothing so good as that old family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They cleanse the blood and impart new vigor to the body. One or two every night for a week will usually be all that is required. For Constipation or Dyspepsia, one or two taken every night will afford great relief. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used and being purely vegetable are adapted to every system. Sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated. In the Matter of Tips. The man who tips the highest gets the best service and the most ostentatious deference. "Give this to the cook," said a St. Louis parvenue, handing one dollar to the waiter with his order, "and tell him to cook it my way." "Give this to the cook," said a scribe at the next table, handing a two dollar bill to the waiter with his order, "and tell him to cook it his own way, for he is a better cook than I am." We will not be outshone. We will not shrink in any man's shadow. At the same time the pace is too hot and fast for most of us.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

I have used it and I have obtained beneficial friends who have obtained beneficial results from its use. I cannot praise Peruna too highly." HON. C. G. BROOKS. THERE are a host of petty aliments which are the direct result of the weather. This is more true of the excessive heat of summer and the intense cold of winter, but is partly true of all seasons of the year. Whether it be a cold or a cough, catarrh of the head or bowl complaint, whether the liver be affected or the kidneys, the cause is very liable to be the same. The weather slightly deranges the mucous membranes of the organs and the result is some functional disease. There is a standby in thousands of homes for minor aliments of this sort.

BY AID OF LULU The gray stone walls of the old French convent were austere and forbidding, but behind the iron gates a quaint and delicious garden dreamed in the mellow, October sunshine. Up and down the gleaming paths of white marble paced Sister Victoria and "Angel" Smith, of Milwaukee. A pace or two behind them walked Sister Victoria's familiar, the convent cat—the pampered, the petulant Lulu. Lulu was not convent-bred; she was of the lawless, intriguing breed of cats of Paris, and her eyes still retained the expression of the boulevard. was surveyed by Sister Victorine and the mother superior. At this unexpected sight, "Angel" broke from Ralph's restraining arm and scrambled hastily down the tree. One afternoon about a week after "Angel's" undignified scramble from Olympus to Avenus, she and the countess walked together, Victorine painting in the rear, and Lulu stepping sedately before them. They had paused beneath the bed fry tower at Sister Victoria's request in order that she might gain breath and also scan the rest of her flock. "An idea!" murmured the counters. This was Angel's second year of unwilling exile, of the irritating realization of encompassing walls whose open sesame she was not to know. To be thrust into a convent for falling in love a few years in advance of the date decided upon by parents and guardians, is a very passe situation in fiction; but when such a thing occurs in real life, it is so rococo as to be extremely ridiculous. This "Angel" felt keenly. She would have regarded her lot as unrelieved tragedy it not that "Ralph's" twenty-first birthday occurred at the beginning of her second year of seclusion, and he had promised that on the day following the attainment of his-majority he would set sail for France and rescue his captive princess. But Angel's monotonous existence was not destined to be of long duration. One evening, as the girls sat in the long, bare refractory eating their blameless supper of bread and cheese and stewed pears there was a sound without as of the running of many feet, and Sister Victorine burst into the room. "Mon Dieu!" exclaimed Sister Victorine, unrailing her hands. "The good Rosine, our maid, glanced from the window of the buttery and saw, walking up and down the street of All Angels—a man. He meditated evil, for he scanned the convent closely. Then Rosine hastened to inform the mother superior who ordered the gates locked at once. But—oh, mon Dieu!' my heart grew small for fear that Lulu might be without." While Sister Victorine spoke "Angel" Smith's eyes had dilated curiously. Her face was pale and on her lip lay a vivid smile. The next afternoon in the freedom of the garden "Angel" confided her hopes to her schoolmates. The daughters of European nobility grew pale. They swayed as if in a strong gust of wind. Such daring sentiments! Such heart devastating emotions. But the times were pregnant with events. Just as they reached the far end of the garden, in their walk, a stone wrapped in white paper whizzed over the ivy-grown wall and struck Lulu,the cat, so that the air resounded with her loud clues. Fortunately, these failed to arouse Sister Victoria, who did peacefully beneath a nearby tree. Then "Angel," surrounded by her breathless and excited companions, read the scrawl. It assured her of undying love and certain rescue, even if it were necessary to dynamite the convent. It begged that as the evening grew dusk, she climbed the tree which leaned against the southwest wall and there he, mounted upon a ladder, would meet and assist her down the other side. Her sister was in the village, and would witness their marriage, and then they would fly to Paris to win the forgiveness of her mother. The European nobility gasped with joy. "Write back at once that you will," they commanded, supplying a pencil. "Angel" obeyed, and sent the white-wrapped stone flying back over the wall. Having acted, she paused to think. "Now that I have said I would, how can I?" she asked, dejectedly. "You know that we are not allowed in the garden after dark." "Intrigue will be necessary," said the countess, firmly. "A moment! I have an inspiration!" She rolled her eyes wildly and clutched her early black head. "Listen, then! We will keep Lulu among us all afternoon. During study hours, I can slip away a moment. I will bear her to a tree by the southwest wall and tie her there by a cord fastened to her collar. Just at the close of supper we will tell Victorine that she has escaped. Victorine will express distress, consternation; and you must demand the privilege of searching for her. Once without, rush straight for the tree, cut Lulu's cord, and over the wall. Is not that simple?" "What mind! What intellect!" chirped the nobility. Fate herself seemed to aid that daughter of a quick-witted race. Lulu's cord was sufficiently long to permit her to spend several happy hours in an exciting chase after some scolding and vociferous birds. At the proper moment she was discovered missing. Victorine's agitation was as great as had ever been hoped, and "Angel" Smith's offer of service was gladly accepted. Like an arrow from the bow the young woman sped through the sweet, dark night to the distant tree. Lulu greeted her purrling, for she had grown weary of the chase. The tree was easy to climb—but a step from one bough to the next higher, and the wall's summit was gained—and there was Ralph. Then a sound! A hideous noise which could only be the result of black art, filled the air—piercing, rasping, nerve-agitating! The voice of Lulu! She clung to the branch above them, her mouth stretched wide and the night echoed to her witch-calls. "Lulu, my dove, where art thou?" called a fat and anxious voice. The rays of a lantern help high in the air suddenly irradiated the scene, which was surveyed by Sister Victorine and the mother superior. At this unexpected sight, "Angel" broke from Ralph's restraining arm, and scrambled hastily down the tree. One afternoon about a week after "Angel's" undignified scramble from Olympus to Avernus, she and the countess walked together, Victorine panting in the rear, and Luin stepping sedately before them. They had paused beneath the belfry tower at Sister Victorine's request, in order that she might gain breath and also scan the rest of her flock. "An idea!" murmured the countess. "If the good God will but let us fulfill it. Listen. If the bells, the Grand and the Petite, now peacefully reposing in yonder tower, should suddenly peal out, dost thou not know that the entire village would be immediately upon the spot? "What of it?" asked "Angel." "Why, stupid, thus thou couldst escape. If now M. Ralph was informed as to the moment the bells would ring-" "Dear old Jacques would never ring the bells except for service." "True, true," replied the countess, patiently; "but," with deep meaning, "if some one else pulled the rope?" "Who?" demanded "Angel," bluntly. Lulu rolled her black silken body before them in the gravel. "If," continued the countess, in a rapid undertone, "if to-morrow afternoon when we walk in the garden. A Hid Her Happy Face in His Tweed Coat. Victorine's attention should be so distracted that some one might run lightly up the steify steps and cast that will bat upon the ropes, think you the bellis would not ring as she climbed down them? Write thy letter to M. Ralph, and I will give Jacques a sou to deliver it. The rest, I will manage." By the following day all preliminaries were accomplished, and at last the moment arrived when her plot was to be tested. At that instant the pinkest and whitest of the English honoraries turned her ankle and sauk to the ground with a cry of pain. Victorine, all sympathy, waddled hastily toward her. Seizing the unsuspecting Lulu from "Angel" Smith's arms, the countess fled up the steps of the tower and cast her through a Gothic aperture. Then she sped down again, unheeded, unnoticed. "Lulu, my lamb," presently called the fatuous voice of Sister Victoria, the rose-and-lily honorable having recovered herself sufficiently to rest on the stone bench beneath the pear tree. "Lulu chases butterflies amid the shrubbery, dear sister," said the countess. Scarcely were the words out of her mouth when from the tower the bells pealed forth a terrible summons. In a moment the cries of the alarmed nuns were lost in the hubbub of many voices, for the whole village poured through the open gates. "Angel" Smith turned a pale face on the countess. "Fly," cried that Napoleon of the heart, "this is thy opportunity." "Angel" Smith fled into the wind-swept street of All Angels and almost into the embrace of a pair of gray arms. For a moment she slipped her happy face in his tweed coat. "It is Lulu!" she cried, the adorable, incomparable Lulu. Adieu, dear Sister Victorine. Auteu, Lulu. I am going back to the world." Not Enough Evidence Not many years ago a prominent citizen of Haverhill, Mass., was arrested for the unlawful sale of liquor. He being searched, a half flask of brandy was found. "That being the only evidence, the judge charged the jury. They had been out but five minutes, when they returned and the foreman queried: "Your honor, how do we know the flask contains brandy? I would like to take the flask into the jury room." He was given the flask, and soon the jury retrieved. "Have you agreed?" the foreman was asked. "We have," he answered. "We find the defendant not guilty," and exhibiting the now empty flask, he added: "There was not enough evidence to go around." The defendant was Jischarged.

Henry Arthur Jones, the English playwright, talked about plays at a dinner that he gave' at the St. Regis. "It cannot be denied," he said, "that practical experience is better than theory in play building. If a man has acted a little, he will avoid, when he sits down to write a play, all manner of queer errors that trip up the playwright who has never acted. "Here, as everywhere, an ounce of experience is worth a pound of theory. It is like the story of the new curate. "This curate, being desirous in all things to conform to the exact letter of the liturgy, insisted, when performing his first marriage ceremony, that the ring be put on the fourth finger. "The bride rebelled. She would not have it. "Here the hard headed and experienced parish clerk stepped in. "In these cases, sir, he said, 'the thomb counts as a digit.'" Need of Modern Cities. Speaking at the dinner held to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Grand Antiquity Society of Glasgow, on the 16th Inst., the lord provost of the city remarked that the only great work that remained to be done for the present generation of citizens was one which would soon become a very pressing question—to provide a remedy for the congestion of their street traffic.

I would be unable to turn in bed. The urine was in a terrible condition at times a complete stoppage occurred. I began with Doan's Kidney Pills, and soon felt better.

Children play a great role in French society, as all those who have read Gyp's inimitable "Pitt Bob" will readily admit, and now the small Parisiense insists on receiving on her fete day and at the New Year a live pet, instead of a costly doll or a mechanical toy. The demand has been creating a supply, and a lively trade is being done, not only in puppies and kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs, but also in tigers and leopards. Up to a certain age, these small felines are quite harmless, and, of course, as soon as they begin, so to speak, to show their teeth and sharpen their claws, they are sent off to one of the two magnificent "Zoos" with which the Gay City is provided. TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sister Took Cuticura Pills. "I must give much praise to all the Cuticura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema cutily. Since then we have always kept the soap on hand at all times. My sister was also a cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. I cannot say exactly how long I suffered, but I think about six months. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D.

I am not asking your permission to close up and you can discharge me if you want to. But I will advise you now that I am the only man in the county who can read and write."

Long and Remarkable Life Suffold tells us of a remarkable record of an old man of his acquaintance employed by Mr. William Lodge, of Gorieston-on-Sea. This old gentleman began his working life as a farm laborer 71 years ago, before Queen Victoria came to the throne, and at 81 he can still drive a plow as well as most men of half his years. Almost more remarkable is the fact that although he has spent practically all his long life within sight of the sea he has never been on it, nor has he ever been inside a train—Tit-Bits.

HEALTH AND SPIRITS HEALTH AND SPIRITS Aro Restored by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in Cases of Debility and Despondency. General debility is caused by mental or physical overwork with imperfect assimilation of nourishment, or by some acute disease from which the vital forces have been prostrated and the entire organism weakened so as not to easily rally. To restore health it is necessary that the blood should be purified and made new. The case of Mrs. E. M. Spears, or 92 M. Pleasant street, Athol, Mass., is a common one and is given here in order that others may be benefited by her experience. She says: "I had been sick for a year from indigestion and general debility brought on by work and worry. I had tried many remedies, but found no relief. I suffered from swelling of the limbs, loss of appetite and dizzy spells, which became so severe towards night, that I sometimes fainted away. I billed and my hands and arms would go to sleep for an hour or two at a time. I was so sleepy all the time. I was so sleepy keep awake. I had frequent cramps in my limbs and pain at the base of my head and in my back. My blood was impoverished. I was afraid to give up and go to bed fearing that I would never get well.
