THE Modes of the Moment To those who have caught a foregam of the fashions of the coming season it is apparent that the keynote is to be simplicity. The very great simplicity which has for some time been the characteristic note of the tailor suit is gradually invading all descriptions of outdoor toilets except those specially designed for visiting, weddings and fashionable gatherings. Afternoon walking dresses are trimmed to a very moderate extent. Fabric trimmings and silk soutache, both self-colored, are more favored than any other sort of garniture. The dress is generally of princess cut, the skirt rather long, or merely touching the ground, and frequently a three-quarter-length semi-loose coat of the same material serves to complete the attire. But in the evening it is totally different. Never have toilets been so handsomely trimmed, or of higher grade of material. To go back no further than last winter, dresses were most voluminously and even overtrimmed. This is no longer the case, but the type of adornment is richer and more artistic. The ready-made dress and costume in silk, volleff chiffon and washable materials is giving strong indications of becoming popular. The use of the novelty striped fabrics is most pronounced, and from Two Handsome Outdoor Costumes. present appearances the success of stripes is assured. Combinations of silk and cloth are noted, and these bid fair to be a strong factor this coming season. Many beautiful costumes are seen in the new striped chiffons. The black and white brown and white, and navy blue and white are in about equal favor. These printed chiffons are also seen in border designs, the Pompadour, as well as the Persian patterns, being used in some of the most attractive models. The most striking novelty in the costumes is the introduction of what is known as the Japanese robe effect. This is a distinct Paris novelty, which has been brought into some promi- An Attractive Coiffure. nence through the high-class dress-making trade. The manufacturer of ready-made costumes finds it a new feature to introduce into his lines. Many of the Paris models now on exhibition for the first time are showing this peculiar shoulder and sleeve effect. An interesting model from Drecoll, brought into this country within the month, is in this new effect. This model is a suit, with short jacket and very full, circular-cut skirt. The jacket is a very short Eton effect, with the body of the jacket and sleeve cut in one, which gives the very long and drooping shoulder. The sleeves are very short and fall in straight, full caps over an under-sleeve of taffeta. The skirt accompanying this is a very full circular-gored effect, quite in contrast with the domestic plaited styles. It is also very long, as are most of the French models, regardless of the time and occasion for which they are to be worn. Although the season for light types of hats is still somewhat ahead, very pretty toques are composed of mousseline and crepe, especially of those delicate shades of suede and wood now so fashionable. They are of Empire or turban shape and rather large and quite low. Their sole trimming is a huge rose, either pink or yellow, these being, as in the case of gray, the two best contrasting colors. There is sometimes a self-colored ostrich plume as well, sweeping around one side of the toque and coiling or reposing on the opposite shoulder. Of such extreme length are these feathers in some cases that after falling over the side of the head they partially encircle and form a protection to the throat. No limitations of fashion can ever restrict the manner of my lady's coifure. No two women seem impressed by the desire to dress their hair in the same form. Personal inclinations determine the style largely and decorations for the hair include every kind of fruit and flower, spangles, jewels, even to the diamond, and the always delightfully simple ribbon bow. No matter how fine a head of hair nature may have accorded, false curls are eagerly desired, and placed in positions more or less elegant on the crown of the head or the nape of the neck. When the curls are good they ```markdown ``` are very good, but, like the little child of history, when they are bad they are horrid, and naturally the enormous demand for them has resulted in a cheap and inferior quality of curl being placed on the market with more prodigality than discretion. When you do your hair in the strictly Empire fashion, a bunch of ringlets at the top, tied with ribbon, is an indispensable adjunct, but I pray you be sure the ringlets match your own hair, and that they be of fine quality, and above all things, that they do not reveal the method of their adjustment with too great frankness. Let us "spect they growed." Parting the hair in the center is specially attractive to the mere masculine, but should not be attempted unless nature has been generous, for a thin parting is not a sweet sorrow, but a sad sight. Far far the false fringe when well applied. I am always tempted to wish women would not color their hair, since I find, in this instance, at least, that nature knows best, and the wrinkles of time, or even the lines of middle age are less clearly marked under the influence of dull locks than bright ones, but this I know to be a gospel which there is no use in preaching, and the fancy for red or gold hair obtains perennially in the breast of lovely, if unreasonable, woman. Compressed Flour. In England much interest has been shown of late by the army and navy authorities in a new method of preserving flour by means of compression. With hydraulic pressure apparatus the flour is squeezed into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while it is equally secure from mold. Three hundred pounds of compressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of flour in the ordinary state. Familiar. In a city kindergarten one morning the children were asked to choose the next song. One little boy said: "Please sing 'Jimmy McNichol.'" "You don't understand," said the kindergartener, "you are to choose a song." He repeated "Jimmy McNichol," and with the aid of the children it was discovered he meant "Jolly St. Nicholas." In Union There is Strength. Familiar. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1907. Washington,D.C.—Tourgee, Lincoln, Grant, Summer, Levi P. Morton and all of that school of republican statesmen, not to go beyond their time to stir up Whittier, Holmes, Garrison, Fremont and the soul of John Brown and others, would stand speechless and amazed could they look on the men who to-day profess to stand for the grand principles and policies which formed the foundations upon which the great republican party was founded in 1856 as a national organization and which swept Abraham Lincoln and the president of the United States in 1860. Alas! where is that party? Where the principles and policies it believes in and stood for? It freed the slave and transformed and reconstructed the Union upon a basis of freedom and equal citizenship. Its intent was to leave as a legacy to every man, civil and political liberty and the right of the ballot, conditional only upon citizenship and allegiance to the flag, the constitution and the Union. While the achievements of the party have been great and unparalleled in political and civil history, yet its bed rock principles have been savaged by the great majority of that party to-day. It has suppressed savage and brutal outrages in Cuba, China and choked Hawaii and the Philippines into submission and shook the sword at other nations, but it has been powerless to stop molluscs, shameful and brutal outrage at home and to preserve the civil and political rights of our own citizens in our own country. It is a sad picture. It marks the notorious distant downfall of the Republican party, the truth into a life and deserted the greatest code of principles and policies ever formed in any age of the world by any party or class of men. Theoe may yet change and sing a sweeter song and profess just principles and policies, then will fall the great republican party by its own hypocrisy, like Luciifer, the son of the morning, never to rise again. Amid this gloom and darkness and trembling hope, in the distance can be heard the mighty shouts and applause of the American people rallying around the standard of that greatest of republican statesmen and leaders, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of the state of Ohio. He is a true republican in whose mind and soul still live the principles loved and admired by the immortal Lincoln and the grand men who upheld the banner of republicanism just after the civil conflict which shook the manacles of slavery from four and a half million slaves and freedmen to civil rights and political rights. He contends to-day for every right guaranteed every citizen who stands for the flag, the constitution and the perpetuity of our glorious American republic. Mr. Foraker is the most illustrious character of his party in the United States senate and in his party to day. His fame is as extensive as our country. He has simply stepped to the front rank and stands foremost. The eyes of the nation and the civilized world are on him. He is a born leader. Petty jealousy, envy and treachery may do their dastardly work and show their hands, but despite all of their efforts to block his way, he must come to the front as the ideal leader of a great political party. Though the combined money powers should combine against his coming greater triumphs, the liberty loving masses of the republican party should name him for still higher honors and sweep him into the presidency of the United States in 1908. No American is more deserving nor better qualified for this high and important trust. He possesses every essential qualification for chief executive of this nation. His record as governor or of Ohio, his record in the United States senate, his great patriotic address to the Society of the Army of the Cumberland militia, his Tenn, and his contention for justice to the army or navy as shown by his fearless stand in the Brownsville soldier-citizen affair, before the president, the senate and the country raise him to the highest pinnacle of fame and entitle him to universal confidence. This friend of justice, the citizen and the soldier. Eleven million colored American citizens should stand united for and demand his nomination for president in 1908. JAMES W. POE. My Dear Mr. Smith: When I looked over your paper this Friday evening my heart was filled with gratitude, first to Almighty God for the great effort that was made by our U. S. senator in our behalf upon the floor of the senate. I consider him as the mouthpiece of truth. There is none like him in all the United States—first in wisdom and in speech. My prayer is that God will add more and more to his wisdom. I have been reading the speeches of other senators, but our Porakeris the greatest of all. He is our second William Lloyd Garrison. I also read his speech at Chattanooga. Teenus in detail what brought on our hate, and in detail what brought on our soul happy, for there and he founded the wisdom of the south. He struck them a mighty blow. Therefore I think every black man in America cushu to lift their voices to God in GAZETTE. thanksgiving. I have watched his career since he was first made governor of Ohio and have said within myself that he was the greatest man in this nation. He can at any time turn down Senator Tillman. I only hope that he will be spared to do a more wonderful work. For my part, I hold his name in great respect. Every loyal Afro-American in this state should send congratulations to him, because he is quick to discern and his voice will honor the man he hid deen secret of our environment. I don't suppose that Senator Tillman would like to have "a Negro broiled for his breakfast." If he did, the taste would be so obnoxious he would there and then cease from trying to destroy him. He never makes a speech unless the Negro is mixed up in it. He is a southerner of the "first water." There are many bright Negroes in South Carolina who are gentlemen were the cause.

(Special Dispatch to the Bosto Hervald.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 1, 1907.--There is likely to be a lively time as a result of the president's alleged decision to appoint a Negro to office in Ohio. It is reported that when Senator Foraker was asked what he was going to do about it he replied: "AS SENATOR MYSELF NOR SENATOR, DICK WAS CONSULTED YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK THE THIRD SENATOR FOR OHIO" "WHO IS THAT?" HE WAS ASKED "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON." THE SENATOR IS SAID TO HAVE REPLIED And still those are members of the race who swallow, such outrageous mistreatment, argue against them, pies' protesting against it, endeavor to justify it and make excuses for advertising the News, and the Leader and recommending them to our people of this community! Such Negroes ought to be drummed out of the city. They are "wolves in sheep's clothing," traitors to the race and far more harmful than brutal enemies like Tillman and Vardaman, who fight "in the open," because they (the Negroes) depend upon their race connection or color or both, to screen them in their dirty, contemptible work. They are the bane of the race, North and South, and do more to hinder racial progress than our bitterest enemies among other Anichie Baptist church members, mass meeting in President Roosevelt's unfortunate discharge of companies B, C and D, Twenty-five infantry, and to assist Senator Foraker in his grand effort to rehabilitate our soldiers; also to consider the contemptible insults currently heaped upon Afro-Americans of this community by the Cleveland Leader and the Cleveland News, organs of the Cleveland Electric Street Co.

The statement that "Rev. R. W. Bagnall and George Johnson admit that they got in wrong" in participating in the mass meeting, both gentlemen brand as an UNMITIGATED LIE, worthy of its source—the same that alleged that the church's trustees wanted to turn out the lights the night of the meeting, etc. Simply malicious and willful lies, that's all.

"Senator Foraker, in taking the dismissed Negro troops as his clients, so to speak, is doing only what the administration should have done from the first. It has always been the general rule hitherto. Whenever there has been any trouble in any regiment, the government, as in the recent Ohio case, has first of all done everything possible to bring out every fact tending to exculpate the accused men. Towards the colored soldiers at Brownsville, however, the official attitude was accusatory. More pains were taken to find evidence against the men than to defend them from possibly false charges. In the first hearing before the senate committee on military affairs yesterday, significant facts were adduced which the war department and the president appear wholly to have overlooked.

Why should it have been left to a senator to be more zealous and painstaking than the government in defending its own?"—New York Evening Post Editorial. WHO DID IT? The Shooting in the Brownsville Riot. MINGO SANDERS! The Brave Old Sergeant of Co.'s B, C. and D, Twenty-fifth Infantry, Tells the Truth. --- Washington, D. C.—Five witnesses were examined last week Thursday in the Brownsville inquiry before the senate committee on military affairs. All were members of Company D of the discharged battalion except the last on the stand, former Sergeant Luther T. Thornton, of Company B. He testified that when aroused by the firing on the night of August 13 he believed that the barracks were being fired upon by people of the town. He said the reports sounded like revolvers and shotguns. He said he had not heard that bullets from army ammunition landed in the town until after the arrival of Mr. Brown som to make an inspection for the war department. The next witness called for by Senator Foraker was Winter Washington, and Senator Overman asked if he had said Booker Washington. "No," said Mr. Foraker, "Booker Washington is too busy attending to his senatorial duties to come here." He referred to the alleged interest of Booker Washington in the question of having an Afro-American appointed to a federal position in Ohio, patronage which has always been regarded as belonging to the senators from Ohio. Winter Washington's testimony was not unlike that of his former comrades. His idea of the Brownsville aviary, howowing, and "Texan cowboys" had done the shooting in order to make trouble for the soldiers. Former Sergt Jerry Reeves, of Company D, said that the inspection of guns the morning after the Brownsville riot was thorough and all Company D guns were found clean and in perfect condition, proving he Foraker Defends As Admin. Sho "Senator Foraker, in taking the clients, so to speak, is doing only have done from the first. It has erto.

Former Corporal Albert H. Roland and Reeves both said they had heard our soldiers complain because they were obliged to enter saloons by the back doors and that the men had agreed "it was better to boycott the saloons than break them up." Sharp cross examination followed, but both men insisted they had not heard anyone suggest "breaking up" the saloons. Sergeant Mingo Sanders Testifies. Sergeant Mingo Sanders Testifies. "The shooting up" of Brownville, Tex., was in the form of an attack upon the garrison at Fort Brown, according to the testimony given Monday by Mingo Sanders, former first sergeant of Company B of the Twenty-fifth infantry. His story created something of a stir in the committee. He said that while running from his quarters to Company B barracks, after being awakened by the firing on the night of August 13, the shooting was going on, and it came from the town, and was toward the hospital on the military reservation. He said bullets were whizzing over his head. This is the first direct testimony given by any of the discharged soldiers that the firing came from the town. Sanders said he had served in the army over 25 years. He said he had been under fire a number of times and was familiar with the reports of the various makes of arms. On that night it was "mixed fire," he said. I heard someone yell "Fall In." Sanders said, "then someone shouted to get the guns, and another person answered that they could not get the guns, as the rackes were locked and the man with the keys could not be brought back. Greer—knew voice—said break "the rackes open." There has been a great test of testimony given concerning the broken rackes of C company, but no person had testified positively before as to the manner in which they were broken. The Testimony of Sanders indicated that the rackes were in good condition before the shooting and were broken open by the command of one of the company officers. He declared that he had not withheld any information and that there was no conspiracy of silence. Sanders was cross- --- examined by Senator Warner. He repeated that many of the shots fired on the night of August 13 came from the town, and said that he had reported this fact to Maj. Penrose, although it did not appear in his evidence taken by Capt. Lyons. Indeed, he said, he had not stated this to anyone else until this time. He had not been asked about it, and did not volunteer information. "I am looking after Sanders first," said he. OHIO NEWS Sent from Many Bucke Cities and Towns by REV.

It should be remembered that a noted personage once said: 'Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me.'"

Great Lincoln declared: "All honor to Jefferson, who announced an abstract application to all men and all times, so it shall be a rebuke to reappearing tyranny and oppression. The history of humanity shows that tyranny comes from executive power, and from parametric dictum "whatever the executive stands for dominates," indicates that the hoard imperialism of the stone age erupts approaching. Prominent among those who have the wisdom and courage to assert their rights as members of the legislative branch of the government is Senator Foraker. —Lincoln Republican President Alfred Walter, of the Sea-board Air Line, is dead at his home in New York City.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1894 to 1898. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902 TRADESTORE COUNCIL THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We introduce to our readers elsewhere in the paper today the independent Order of Red Men, particularly its Ohio officers among our people. Have you written Senator Foraker, at Washington, D. C., and told him how thoroughly you appreciate his noble and most effective efforts in behalf of our discharged soldiers? If not, do so at once. Show appreciation in this way. Last and this month the editor of The Gazette sent one or more copies of Senator Foraker's great speeches in December, 1906, and January, 1907, on the Brownsville, Texas, riot to every one of his confesses of the race press and many of The Gazette's subscribers. The activity of the National Afro-American Council and the Niagara Movement in behalf of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry is encouraging. Now let our National Federation of Women's Clubs and the National Business Men's League "get busy" along the same line. We'll wager a "cookie" that the Feb. 7 New York Age's "Cincinnati" letter under the date, Feb. 6, was written in Columbus, O., and mailed from there by one Ralph W. Tyler He is "up to" his old tricks again. The Age should not permit its columns to be used in that way and too for such a contemptible attack on Senators Foraker and Dick, among the few good friends of the race in congress. We urge our readers to respond liberally and promptly to the call of Dr. Booker T. Washington elsewhere in this paper. It should be felt a duty as well as a matter of race pride that the Douglass home at Anacostia, D.C., be made the memorial intended and that it should be. There is much that can be said in favor of such a result and nothing against it. Therefore help raise the small amount asked for by Mr. Washington and the Douglass association's officers by contributing freely whatever you feel able to. Jefferson City, Mo., dispatches to daily newspapers early last week announced that the assembly of that state would surely enact a "Jim Crow" steam railroad law. This is doubtless the result of Missouri's only republican senator's support of the president in the Brownsville, Tex., riot controversy in the United States senate. Mr. Warner, a veteran of the war of the rebellion, is hardly to be congratulated. Wonder how his Afro-American constituents feel about it? The St. Louis Advance and other Missouri race publications will please answer. Some very bad reports have occasionally reached The Gazette during the past year relative to one Geo R. Nevels and wife, who claim to be "president and secretary of the Afro-American Humane Labor league and trustees of the Holloway home, with offices at 277 Baxter street, Dayton; 534 5th street, Cincinnati, and 2471 E. 12th street, Cleveland, O." Who knows anything about them? Will some of our readers in any of the three cities named, especially Dayton and Cincinnati, make it their business to look them up there (as we are here) and writing us? Act promptly, please. We hear that Mr. and Mrs. Nevels have been soliciting money throughout Ohio for many months past. The house, as was expected, has passed the service pension bill, and the signature of the president will make it a law. A soldier who was 16 when the civil war began, or 20 at its close in 1865, is now 62, the age at which a pension of $12 a month is allowed, to be increased to $15 a month at 70 and $20 a month at 75. Pensions heretofore allowed at a lower rate will be increased to these figures, but if larger will not be reduced. The new system practically applies now to all surviving Union soldiers in the civil war, and age alone gives a claim to the pension. One of the wise provisions of the new act is that the soldier himself can directly obtain the allowance due without the assistance of agents. Germany and Hayti Soar Port Au Prince Hayti—The relations between the government of Hayti and Germany are strained owing to the refusal of the German bankers, Hermann & Co., by direction of the court at Port au Prince, to return to the Haytian government large sums of money. Among the alleged transactions of Hermann & Co. with the Haytian government was one which is said to have proved favorable to the government. This was concluded by the Haytian minister of finance, the German legation and Hermann & Co. The German minister demanded that this transaction, as well as others, be annulled, but the Haytian government, in terms that the German minister demanded offensive, refused to acquiesce. The German minister at the same time demanded the withdrawal of the phrase objected to. This also was refused. Fears are entertained here of grave complications ensuing. CONTRIBUTE FREELY! To This Fund for the Douglass Home —Dr. Booker T. Washington Asks it. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. —It is now nearly 12 years since Frederick Douglass, to whom the Negro people owe more than to any other man of our race, for the part he took in securing our freedom, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to preserve and traditions and make it a permanent memorial to Douglass and the Negro people. An association, known as the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical association, has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a rare opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Douglass and to show their reverence and love for the man, who during the trying times before and after the war, embodied in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the cause of the Negro people. I have been asked by the officers of the Memorial association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $5,400 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property of Frederick Douglass and the Negro people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to the Negro people what Mount Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would contribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by post office order, check, or otherwise, as soon as this communication is read. I am making this appeal by the authority of the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical association, and of the Honorable and of Mr. Douglass. Immediate family. Now is the time, when Mr. Douglass birthday is being celebrated and talked of in all parts of the country, for the race to show its love for Douglass not only in words, but in deeds. I shall hope to receive, with in the next few days this money, which can be sent in sums of 25 cents up. Each contributor will receive a receipt for whatever he sends. After the receipt has been received off the orders, an sure steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purposes mentioned. The following letter, written to me by the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical association, will make the situation clear: Washington, D. C., Dec. 17, 1906. Washington, D. C., Dec. 17, 1906. Dear Mr. Washington: There is an encumbrance of $5,400, bearing 6 per cent. interest, payable semi-annually against the Douglass property. This property consists of about 14 acres in the heart of Anacostia, on a hill giving a beautiful view of the Potomac river and city for several miles. It is the opinion of experts that when the government completes the new bridge and the reclamation of the flats, this property will be worth at least $5,000 an acre. Its actual worth is now $1,500 an acre. It is exempt from taxes by the act of congress incorporating the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical association. The association needs at least the $5,400 to lift the mortgage. In the course of time about nine acres of the property could be cut up into building lots and sold, and with the proceeds of such sale Cedar Hill could be endowed with ample funds to meet the wants of the Douglass Memorial association in perpetuity. Archibald H. Grimke, President Whitfield McKinley, Secretary Francis J. Grimke, Treasurer. The following pledges have already been received: Booker T. Washington, $150; J. Douglass et almett, $100; James Peyton, jr. Rosamond Cole John, $20; Peyton, jr. Rosamond Cole John, Mrs. Booker T. Washington and Hon, John C. Dacey, $25 each; Wilber force graduates, $25; Washington Negro Business Men's league, $20; J. A. Lankford, Julius R. Cox and Attfield McKinley, $10 each; Archibald M. Grimke and 28 others, $5 each, making a total of $620. I hope that much additional money will be sent at once. All money will be acknowledged with proper receipt. The heads of churches, Sunday schools, literary societies, and other organizations are urged to raise and forward collections for the aobive purpose. I shall be glad to furnish such additional information as may be desired. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Tuskegee Institute, Ala Olean, N. Y. Items Olean, N. Y., items. Rev.

Well, if he wants another meeting, it will be on much different terms. Otherwise I guess I will have to retire." BAR COOLIE LABOR Conference Between San Franciscans and the President Results in a Satisfactory Agreement. Washington, D. C.—The Japanese school controversy is settled insofar as President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco school board are concerned. An amicable adjustment of the question now rests with congress. If the amendment to the immigration bill, proposed by Secretary Root, excluding foreigners who use their passports to secure admission to the United States "to the detriment of labor conditions in this country" is accepted by the senate and house and the immigration bill is passed at this session of congress, the San Francisco board of education will respect its order establishing the Oriental schools, unless the Japanese government agrees to a proposition for separate schools which will provide equal facilities for Japanese children. Mayor Schmitz and his associates had a conference with the president Wednesday afternoon and assured Mr. Roosevelt that the amendment to the immigration bill was entirely satisfactory to them. Secretary Root participated in the conference and made a report on his negotiations with the republican leaders in congress and the Japanese ambassador. While Mayor Schmitz and the members of the school board are still hopeful that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, will agree to separate schools in California, they stand willing to rescind the order establishing the Oriental schools and again admit Japanese children to the white schools. THE SHORTAGE GROWS. Bank Treasurer Walker's Defalication Is Now Estimated at $655,000. New Britain, Conn.—More than $560,000 worth of securities were taken from the vaults of the Savings Bank of New Britain by the missing treasurer, William F. Walker, according to a statement issued by the board of directors of the institution late Wednesday afternoon, following the examination of the collateral in the bank by State Bank Commissioners Kendall and Noble. There is left a deposit of $143,000 above the amount due to depositors, the actual shortage being $65,000. As the bank commissioners were preparing a statement to give to the directors, Mayor George M. Landers sent a letter to Gov. Woodruff asking that Commissioner Kendall be removed from office on the ground of neglect of duty and incompetence. He pointed out in his letter that when Mr. Kendall began an examination of the affairs of the bank last Thursday, Treasurer Walker, on a plea of illness, left the bank and Kendall did not continue his work, but returned home to await Walker's convenience. In an interview, Mayor Lander says he is prompted also to take this action because he was ng examined as a rule until after an appointment had been made by the commissioners with Walker. LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED Two Men Were Killed and One Fatally Injured. Middletown, N. Y. — The boiler of the engine pulling an Ontario & Western passenger train which left here Wednesday afternoon exploded near Luzon. The train at the time of the explosion was running at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The fireman, Martin Mullen, of Middletown, and an unknown man who was riding in the cab of the engine were mortally injured and several other persons were seriously injured. A dozen of the passengers were hurt, but none of them dangerously. The body of Fireman Mullen was blown a hundred feet into a field, the head being torn off. The unknown man in the cab was blown to pieces. He is believed to have been Engineer J. D. Valquette, who was learning the road and was seen to get on the engine here. The engine was blown to pieces and the baggage car was badly damaged. Four coaches left the rails and went into a ditch. Congress. Washington.

THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS A LAND "FLOWING IN MILK AND HONEY." Semi-Tropical Climate; Vast Yields of Vegetables and Fruit. Corpus Christi, Tex., Feb. 12.—— The lower Rio Grande Valley is sometimes erroneously referred to as Southwest Texas, and so is El Paso, but THEY ARE EIGHT HUNDRED MILES APART. It is Winter in Northern Texas while the Gulf Coast country is enjoying sunshine like that of May. In fact the Gulf Coast knows no Winter—every month is a growing month. Texas produces wheat like Minnesota, corn like Illinois, and more cotton than any other two Southern states combined. And no part of this great State surpasses in opportunity and possibilities the Gulf Coast Country and the region down by the Rio Grande. Artesian water was discovered five or six years ago on the great King Ranch, near Corpus Christi. As time went on the Artesian Belt was extended until it now covers the territory from Robstown, sixteen miles west of Corpus Christi, to Raymondville, and is being extended monthly with every indication that a satisfactory flow will be obtained in all territory not covered by the systems of irrigation on the Rio Grande. One of the most successful planters on the Rio Grande is Mr. John Closner, who owns six thousand acres near Hidalgo, on the S. L. B. & M. Ry. From thirty-three acres of Bermuda onions Mr. Closner last year (1906) shipped thirty-five carloads of fine onions as were ever grown. This crop alone netted him $15,000. Two crops of corn can be grown on the same land each year along the Rio Grande. Rice, cotton and numerous other crops, as well as a great variety of fruit can be grown just as successfully. At a dinner recently given some visitors, a Gulf Coast agricultural set fifteen (15) different varieties of vegetables before his guests. A comprehensive book of eighty pages, profusely illustrated and fully descriptive of the Texas Gulf Coast may be obtained by addressing John Sebastian, Passenger Traffic Manager, Room 1, La Salle St. Sta., Chicago, or Room 1, Frisco Bldg., St. Louis.

The body will grow old and the smooth brow will be furrowed, but a happy disposition is an aureole to the grey crown of age. Blessed is he whose life looks out upon the land of Beulah, and whose soul is responsive to the outlying vision."—Exchange English Tongue-Twisters. The English language has its own peculiar terrors. Who would not pity the foreigner attempting to understand such sentences as "It was put in case in case it should rain." "The first one won one sovereign." "I will come by-and-by and buy a bicycle?"

It's a waste of time to cut the acquaintance of a man who is insult proof. SUFFERED TWELVE YEARS FROM AFTER EFFECTS OF LA GRIPPE. Mr. Victor Pataine, 328 Madison St. Topeka, Kan., writes: "Twelve years ago I had a severe attack of la gripe and I never really recovered my health until two years ago. I began using Peruna and it built up my strength so that in a couple of months I was able to go to work again." PNEUMONIA FOLLOWED LA GRIPPE. Mr. T. Barnecott, West Aylmert, Ontario, Can., writes: "Last winter I was ill with pneumonia after having la gripe. I took Peruna for two months, when I became quite well."

Boston Business Man Wanted to Take Time to Catch Up. Several years ago, when the University of Chicago held its decennial celebration, John D. Rockefeller was its guest for several days. A bewildering succession of functions followed one another in such quick succession that each affair was from one to four hours late. At the great banquet on the closing day, Mr. Rockefeller, in his after-dinner speech, told the following story: "I have felt for the past 24 hours like the Boston business man who lived in the suburbs and came in to his office every day. One winter afternoon he took the train for his home, but a terrific snowstorm was raging, and about half way to his suburb the train was snowed in. All night the passengers were imprisoned, but early in the morning they managed to reach a near-by telegraph station, and the Boston man sent the following dispatch to his office: "Will not be in the office to day. Have not got home yesterday yet."—Montreal Herald. Handy. Young Poet (to creditor who presents a bill—Oh, how good of you!

STILL MORE PROOF That Dr. William's Pink Pills Have Cause of Blubber Cause of Rising Respiration "When I was a boy of sixteen," says Mr. Otto H. Rose, a retired grocer, of 1226 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., "I met with a serious accident which injured the bone of my head over the right eye. I recovered from the accident to all appearances, but not many years after I began to have intense pains in the injured bone, which came on every year and would last from a few days to several weeks, consulted doctors who told me that I was suffering from neuralgia. The sight of my right eye was affected, so that at times I could scarcely see out of it, while both eyes watered constantly. During these attacks I was dismayed by the terrible pain. The pains came from the morning and passed away in the afternoon. I never suffered from the pain at night. "I tried without success to get relief until a friend told me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had taken a few boxes I felt the pain growing less intense and in a much shorter time then I had hoped for I was entirely curled. I have recommended the pills to sorbate persons, who are ill with the medicine, with them good with it." My wife uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for nervous headaches and funds them the best medicine she has ever used as they give relief where all others fail."

The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Rev. E. Thomas Demby, of Key West, Fla., for a copy of his exceptionally able oration on "The United States and the Negro," delivered in San Carlos theatre in that city on Jan. 1. Father Demby, several years ago, married one of our most popular and first young ladies, formerly Miss Nettie M. Ricks. The "Benevolent Club" met at Mrs. James Starkey's, Bell avenue, last week Thursday afternoon. After a business session one hour was spent a delightful lunch work.

Again we warn our readers about buying stock in reality and other companies outside of the city. Better keep your money in the bank if you cannot invest in some local company that you know is alright. We tried to tell many of the Douglass Automatic Strawbinder Co., stockholders, and others this, but they would not listen to us until it was too late. A Cleveland Leader slur: "It was suggested to Gould and Davies that if they were looking out for anything in the way of an Ohio appointment at the time, they to them to do what to black their faces, and then go over to the White House. Such facetiousness is one of the results of the report that the president is bent on naming a Negro for one of the 'good things' in "Ohio." There is a homeless and friendless young Afro-American by the name of Will Jones, ill with consumption at the City hospital, who was admitted there at the request of the editor of The Gazette last week Thursday and whose nearest relative is a sister in Birmingham, Ala., his home, in whom our charitably disposed people ought to take an interest. Go and see him between 2 and 3. and 7 and 8 p. m. any day. Here is an opportunity to show your race and Christian loyalty. Mrs. Sarah A. Scott, mother of Mrs. W. J. Howard, of 2528 Central avenue S.

She leaves six daughters and one son, 19 grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and a brother, Mr. Frank Stewart, to mourn her loss. The relatives have the sympathy of many friends and acquaintances in this community. How happy its membership and its hosts of friends would be if St. John's church would build an imposing edifice on Case avenue or Wilson avenue, preferably between Cedar avenue and Central avenue—an ideal location for 50 years to come and one that would increase in value and grow nearer the heart of the city, with each succeeding year. Urge it! The cross-town line on Wilson avenue with its system of double transfers would be just the thing for all persons. Co. B, U. R. K. P., gave a most enjoyable smoker in their armory last week Wednesday. The celebration was the result of an election of officers and the appointment of Capt. C. P. Lancaster to the rank of colonel on the Brig, general's staff. The rank in full regulation with guests marched to the banquet hall, where their pictures were taken. Leuits, Adams and Myers, as hosts, deserve much credit as the tables were beautiful and well laden. Capt. T. H. King, toastmaster, introduced the following speakers: E. J. Lucas, C. C., W. R. 42; Capen, Bowen, U. B. F.; Capen, J. H. Starkey, Leuit, W. Matthews, F. Moore, Messrs. Williams and Hoden. That sterling race man and pastor, Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey, of Antioch church, assisted Rev. I. A. Collins, who was unwell, last week Friday in the conducting of Mrs. Mary L. T. Lucker's funeral services, and Boyd & Dean, our progressive undertakers, with the assistance of Mr. Henry Taylor, handled the funeral most commendably indeed. St. John's church was decorated with palms furnished by the Ohio Cut Flower Co., the Knoble Bros., proprietors, and the music by the choir was an inspiration. Rev. Collins is a splendid peacher. His sermon was excellent. His and Mrs. Tucker of Adrienne Briscoe, Mrs. Tucker's son-in-law, was thoroughly merited and in extreme good taste. He was faithfullness personified. "The Law of Suggestion." The "Law of Suggestion," by Rev. Stanley LeFevre Krebs, a companion book to "Auto-Suggestion," gives a bird's eye view of the whole field for busy people—all about suggestion. It tears from the subject that vell of mystery which so many initiates delight to surround it. It awakens an earnest and patient study of the matter on the part of parents, business men, preachers and people generally, not only of common daily life, but of the profoundest interest; also, of health, intellect and character—body, mind and soul. Published by The Science Press, The Republic, Chicago "Three Acres and Liberty." Not since "Ten Acres Enough" and "Five Acres Too Much" has so entertaining a book been produced on this theme. It is much more practical than its forerunners, being written by a skilled writer, Bolton Hall, and edited by skilled gardeners. Were it not for the unimpeachable authorities quoted, its statements as to the possibilities of the "Little Lands" for a living would seem fanciful.

A Brief Sketch of a Great Physician and Surgeon. The widely known Dr. David Kennedy was graduated from the medical department of Columbia University in 1860; for three years resident surgeon in the Saterlee U.S. Army Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.; during the Civil War was President of the Examination Board for Invalid Soldiers, and acknowledged one of the PETER B. BURGESS most successful surgeons in the Government service; member of the Ulster County Medical Society and other scientific and medical associations; for over thirty-five years in active practice of medicine and surgery in Rondout, N. Y., becoming one of the leading surgeons of the Hudson River Valley, his great ability and skill being undisputed, and his reputation extending from New York to neighboring states. He was a New York Presidential Elector in 1892, Mayor of his city for two terms and occupied many other public and private positions of trust and honor. It is interesting to learn that in the early days of his large practice he employed a prescription that he termed his "favorite remedy" because it was invariably successful in the treatment of the various cases coming under his care, where a preparation was indicated for the Kidneys. Liver or Blood. In 1875 the demand for this medicine was so great that he decided to place it before the public, and from that time Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy (as it has since been known) has become one of our standard family remedies. The business soon grew to immense proportions and the large laboratories and offices in Rondout stand as positive proof of its wonderful success, due to absolute merit, aided by systematic judicious and honest advertising. The strong point about Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is that its cures are permanent, and it will be our pleasure, in subsequent issues of this paper, to print specific instances of this convincing feature. It is proper to add here that Favorite Remedy is not a "patent" or "secret" medicine, since its composition is given upon request, and it is not a "cure all." It has cured many cases of Kidney, Liver and Blood troubles (and associated ailments) which have been practically abandoned by physicians. It is sold in over 40,000 drug stores in this country at only $1.00 a bottle, or the manufacturers will send it direct and prepay charges if a drugstreet is not handy. Every year Dr. David Kennedy's Sons, Rondout, N. Y., mall millions of free medical booklets and sample bottle (to any one writing for them) to all parts of the world, this being one of their methods of advertising the merit of this valuable remedy. Used Him as Eraser. The late Dr. Henry Martyn Field some years ago related at a Williams alumni dinner a rather amusing incident of his freshman days at college. Being only 12 years old when he entered he had not reached the point where the natural friction between the big boy and the small boy ceases and he was at particular feud with one of his fellows, a stalwart country youth fresh from the farm. One day young Field went early to the classroom and put upon the big blockboard a very exasperating caricature of his enemy, with his name beneath. When the aggrieved party saw what had been done he said not a word, but catching up his youthful tormentor, he used him as an eraser and after rubbing out the offensive picture quietly took his seat.

High prices continue to rule in Dawson City, which is probably the most expensive town in the world. It is a thriving place with a population of over 8,000, with warehouses, churches, banks, electric lights, wholesale and retail stores and two up-to-date newspapers. The newspapers themselves are worthy of consideration in the light of expense, for they cost 25 cents a copy.

SIZE NAME ADDRESS On Life's Journey. He will certainly fail who hopes to know men deeply and only get happiness, never to get anxiety, distress, disappointment, out of knowing them; and he has mistaken the first idea of human companionship who seeks companionships, friendships and contacts with mankind directly and simply for the pleasure they will give him.—Phillips Brooks. Child's Hair Waa His Own A bald-headed man writes: "The most impertinent child I ever met was a boy of ten years of age. On leaving his widowed mother's house I attempted to pat him on the head in a fatherly way. At this he pushed my hand away and said, 'See here, my friend; grow some hair of your own if you want to pat it.'" The Calamities That Do Not Happen. Lord Beaconsfield once said that the worst evil one has to endure is the anticipations of the calamities that do not happen. Owners of the World This world belongs to the energetic —Emerson. CANADA'S GOOD TIMES. The Immigration During 1903 Was 216,000. While it is well to heed every word of caution from the leaders in commerce and finance and to avoid all speculative ventures that lack a solid business foundation, it is clearly evident that there is no conspicuous weak spot in Canada's present era of prosperity. The Toronto Globe says: "The Dominion has in a commercial sense plenty of money, and our leading financial institutions are in a position to lend freely in the United States. The chief productive enterprises of Canada are not buoyed up by an era of dangerous speculation, but are following substantial business methods and finding safe and continuous markets for their goods. We are not bolstering up any industries by extensive export bonuses that impoverish the people as a whole, and ultimately lead to collapse through the failure of the artificial aid. There is no extreme protection in Canada as would create great fortunes for a few at the expense of the general public and lead to disruption and catastrophe. The prosperity of Canada has no artificial foundation being based on a healthy and substantial expansion of trade and industry, with a proportionate extension of productive settlement to new areas. It is true that we are borrowing extensively for railway construction, but every line will bring new territory within the limits of profitable occupation, and will create prosperous settlements to bear the burdens and repay the outlay. We are not exhausting mineral resources, for it is quite reasonable to assume that, although mineral wealth is never permanent, ours will during the measurable future develop a far greater productive capacity than at present. Our timber wealth can be made continuous by a judicious policy. And agriculture, the real foundation of our prosperity, is expanding with every new expenditure on railway construction. We are not in the flush of a railway mania that could bring its punishment through the useless duplication of lines. The gigantic railway enterprises that now stimulate every line of business in Canada will create a new Dominion, and thus render easy the heavy burdens of debt now freely assumed. Canada's era of prosperity has been unprecedented, but there is no sign of weakness and no cause for lack of confidence. While our growth is normal and healthy, we need have no alarm at its rapidity." This article might have gone on to relate the great growth that is taking place in Central Canada, where thousands of Americans have made their homes during the past few years. The past calendar year has given to Canada by importation an addition of 216,000 to its population. Of this the United States contributed 63,781. The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere, say that this number will be largely increased during 1907. WORDS DERIVED FROM SPORTS.

Sports and pastimes of bygone days—and even of the present time—have added much to the English language, "Check," which is said to be "shak," a variation of "shah," has not only come into the foundation of many other words - A philologist traces to it "the cheeker board," "the exchequer" and "a cheekered career." "A good move" is also probably from chees. "Etoop to" is from falconry. "Take the wind out of her salts" is from yachting; so is "on the wrong tack." "To jockey" "to show a clean pair of heels" are from horse racing. Fencing has been very fruitful as a source of new words. It gives "a hit," "a palpable hit," to "parry a question," or "fence with it." "a home thrust," "a counter," "to be off one's guard." From pugilism comes "to toss up the sponge," or "to chuck it up." "Put your back into it" is a remlissence of rowing. Crietket has given many phrases, of which perhaps "stumped," "I stumped him on that question," is the commonest. "Coming up to the scratch" is probably derived from dueling. "Ay, there's the rub" is derived from bowls, though "a rub on the green" is akin to it. Hostess' Trade Union. What is wanted is a hostess' trade union, a powerful combination of society women pledged to maintain their own self-respect, and to extinguish socially any man guilty of the slightest lapse of the courtesy which every woman has every right to expect. The drawback to the formation of such a society lies in the fact that unfortunately being respected neither by men nor by each other most women do not respect themselves either—Ladies' Field. GUIDES CHILDREN. Experience and a Mother's Love Make Advice Valuable. An ill. mother writes about feeding children: "If mothers would use Grape-Nuts more for their little ones, there would be less need for medicines and fewer doctor bills. "If those suffering from indigestion and stomach troubles would live on Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a short period they would experience more than they otherwise would believe. "Our children have all learned to know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an appetizing, strengthening food. It is every evening, with few variations, like this: 'Mamma, let's have toast and Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have eggs and Grape-Nuts'—never forgetting the latter. "One of our boys in school and 15 years of age repeatedly tells me his mind is so much brighter after having Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his breakfast." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek.

Wonder of Plant Memory Wonder or Plant Memory. Plant memory is a problem for the inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to the squash and pumpkin was taken to New York from the desert of Sonora, in Mexico, and since then it has been kept—without watering—in a strange climate 3,600 miles from home. During the six weeks of rain in the desert the plant grows its leaves and flowers and perfects its seed. Then it dries up and leaves only a water-filled gourd, which a thick, hard shell seals against animals and evaporation. The transplanted specimen still remembers the rainy season of six weeks. It wakes, sends out rootlets, stems and leaves, and then dries up again until the following year. NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures, and Doctors Fall—Cuticura Succeeds. "I was very badly afflicted with eczema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patient remedies that I heard of, besides all the cures advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief whatever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippacene, Ind., Nov. 15, 05." Henry Clay and Lew Wallace. "Mr. Clay was of a personality once seen never to be forgotten. Tail, slender, graceful, he had besides the air majestic which kings affect, imagining it exclusive property. "Throughout Mr. Clay's performance my eyes scarcely left his countenance, which, as he proceeded, sank from sight until, by the familiar optical illusions, nothing of it remained but the mouth, and that kept enlarging and widening until it seemed an elastic link holding the ears together. Indeed, at this late writing, my one distinct recollection of the man and his speech is the mouth and its capacity for infinite distension."—Autobiography of Lew Wallace. MIX THIS AT HOME.

The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life.
