THE OUR FASHION LETTER THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY VISITING COSTUMES FOR EARLY OPRING WEAR STEERS HEED THE CALL OF THEIR MASTER It seems that many of the mid-winter evening costumes are prophetic of the fashions that are to bloom in the spring, for many of the evening effects will be later utilized and developed in the spring novelties. Popularity of the striped pattern is exemplified in the use of striped chiffons and gauzes for the newest evening gowns. Yellow is being emphasized at the present time and much development may be expected along these lines. In speaking of evening dress, we are reminded of the temptation which comes sometimes to wear such dress under the impression that it will look smarter than the ordinary walking costume. The evening dress, when brought out into the daylight, has a fatal habit of betraying its secret, unless it be some evening dress of dark velvet which has by providential forethought been supplied with two bodices. But to fill up a decolletage and imagine it will not reveal the fact is to write yourself down amongst the optimists born to be deceived. It would seem that silks are tremendously in favor, and it is whispered that the early spring time will see the cloth costumes costed from the privilege of being regarded as fit for afternoon parties and weddings. Speaking of weddings, we are reminded that the young girl may have the satisfaction of falling back upon A Type of the Gibson Coat. her summer attire for suitable gown in which to attend, provided it includes a white cloth coat and skirt, and she can by some means possess herself of a white fur boa and muff, and a white fur hat, or a black or brown hat, she may rely upon her youth to carry the day with grace and appropriateness. The fashionable world seems to continue to devote itself mainly to embroideries and applications of lace and pet, and sowns of cloth and silk are Columbia, Mo.—In response to their master's call, heard a quarter of a mile away above the roar of raging waters in the blackness of a stormy night, a herd of 67 steers, penned in a lot surrounded by a barbed-wire fence, leaped into the roaring stream from the spot where they had taken their last stand on high ground in the middle of the lot, swam over the fence and swimming in a body, reach- In Union There is Strength. heavily traced with silk and chenille, while gold lace and silver lace are decked with padded silk roses and embroidered leaves. Chiffon also enjoys patronage as a medium for decoration, and those padded leaves and garlands of flowers made in chiffon decked with tinselled threads or silken lines are noticeable on many of the silk model gowns. There is a strong tendency among young unmarried women, even debutantes, to wear satins, not merely the supply liberty variety, but the rich, heavy qualities, and many are wearing them. These must, however, draw the line at brocade. The older unmarried women, around 30, if stately, may appear in the rich fabric and be appropriately clothed. It should, however, always be borne in mind that brocade is not suitable for short, too-plump figures. It looks best on the Juno type, but the slight woman can wear it well if she is tall. The girlish matron has a more fitting frame in crepe de chines and all the delicate, clinging fabrics, than brocades and velvets. One thing is certain, no woman can be dressed to show off her own particular style, or charms of face and figure and expression, without studying them carefully and weighing carefully the comments—including both compliments and criticisms, especially the latter—of her friends, and also more particularly of those who are not friends. Unless, indeed, she have a modiste who understands her style thoroughly and who decides for her just what she shall wear and when she shall wear it. The Gibson coat continues much in favor and is decidedly smart looking when made in good quality serge or black, navy or cream colorings. It is lined to the waist with silk and finished off with touches of trimming in the way of collar, cuffs and buttons, which show such clever and artistic schemes of color and contrasted fabrics. On a dark blue serge coat there is a collar of pastel mauve cloth, bordered with silken braids in soft blue, green and mauve shadings, while the color contrast is introduced again on the cuffs, and into the center of the waistband at the back. Then a white serge coat combines in its collar and cuffs, mauve cloth, palest green silk, green and white braid, and a most telling touch of black satin, while the big buttons at either side in front are in white serge centered with green silk. And there are dozens of different combinations. Much of the spring millinery retains the imprint of the Empire period. The mushroom shape will be strongly prevalent. Paris is still using the Empire hat, and almost every conceivable form of the mushroom, which is a modern adaptation of the Empire, will be seen during the spring. Among the novelties in millinery will be hats made entirely of flowers. Petal hats will be the newest form. Models in all of the newest shapes will be seen made of rose petals in white, pink, pale blue, cream color and yellow. ed the shore without a single loss. Such is the report which reached Columbia from Perche creek, seven miles west of this city. The creek, which joins the Missouri only a few miles from the point in question, was on a rampage and had flooded the country for miles. Programs of work must wait for power. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1907. More Interesting Testimony as to Who Really Did "Shoot Up" Brownsville, Texas. Washington, D. C.—The examination of former members of Company C, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, has been continued by the senate committee on military affairs, which is investigating the Brownsville riot. Former Corporal Charles H. Madison told of the absence of the non-commissioned officer having charge of the Company C gun racks, and said that an order was issued by Maj. Penrose to break open the racks, if the guns could not be had in any other way. Madison said that one rack was opened by Sergt. Brawner, but that all of the racks were being pounded by the men in an effort to get them open when the call to arms was sounded. No lights were allowed, he said, because it was thought an attack was being made on the garrison. He thought it might be difficult to tell in the dark whether the racks were unlocked or not. Madison testified that it was Private Joe McNetton, of his company who had the troop in custody of Brownsville, which is said to be gendered f-feeling between the citizens and soldiers. He told also of having seen signs posted on saloons giving notice to the Negro soldiers that they would not serve. Former Quartermaster Master McNetton testified that after Maj. Penrose had given orders that the gun racks should be broken open the company cook secured an ax and chopped the racks, McMurray said he warned the man not to injure the guns, but that it was dark and some of the rifles were injured. Newton Carlisle, a former sergeant, corroborated the testimony about the use of an ax on the racks. Thomas Jefferson, who was the room orderly in Company C barracks, said that he heard the shooting and thought there were ten or twelve men firing. The shots, he said, came from the rear and near the end of B barracks, but he could not say whether the men were within the wall or the men were within the wall. He said he could not see shrapes from guns and thought the barracks was under attack. Solomon P. O'Neil testified that the shooting on the night at the end of Company B quarters, and that the shots were apparently over the barracks. He said he heard a man shoot and then yell: "Come out you black ———." This occurred several times, said O'Neill, before he was compelled to leave the window and dress. He testified that they was great excitement in the barracks, and that when the gun racks were broken open some of the rifles fell to the floor. There was no light, and the men could not get their own rifles. Former Sergeant Dgar. Starr, a former officer who had charge of the quarters, is the man whose absence when the call to arms was sounded is said to have resulted in the order to break open the company's gun racks. The witness said that when he back to quarters he heard Maj. Penrose say: "Break Open the Gun Racks!" "If you can't find the commanding officer in charge of quarters, break open the gun racks and get down as soon as you can and fall in." Taking this as his order, Brawner said he proceeded to open the racks and unlock three of them, but found that the fourth had been broken open. Pounding on the racks, he said, was continued after the keys had been turned in the locks, which he explained by saying that it was dark, and the men probably did not know the racks had been unlocked. Brawner was one of the 12 men arrested on a charge of having participated in the "shooting" of the racks, the Harley, who was acting first sergeant at the time, said he was awakened by the confusion and the firing of guns after the call to arms had been sounded and that he had not issued orders to the men to get their guns until he had consulted with Lleut. Grier. He told of hearing later the pounding on the racks and of noting, at the time the rifles were sent for repairs, the damage that had been done. Concerning the ammunition in the possession of Company C, of which Corporal Madison had previously testified, he said he heard of the commissioned officers say the men might as well have clubs as rifles on account of the character of their ammunition. The cartridges, it was said, were of the reduced range type and ineffective. It was brought out that that was the only kind of ammunition in the hands of Company C men until after the calls to arms and the shooting was nearly over. Although the firing had almost ceased when Harley reached the parachute bounds, he said that he heard the whistle of one bullet over his head and that he was of the opinion he was fired from Wolverine. When questioned sharply by the officer as why he did not tell of the broken racks and the whistling bullets when he was before Col. Lovering on the previous inquiry, conducted under orders of the secretary of war, Harley asserted that he was instructed only to answer questions, and he was not asked about either of these facts. He discussed the treatment of soldiers by citizens of Brownsville, and told of one man being knocked down because it was said he passed between two white women on the street. GAZETTE. Hoyt Robinson, formerly of Company D, who was musician of the guard and sounded the call to arms on the night of August 13, said the call was sounded about midnight, after he had been awakened by Sergt Reid. His call was taken up by the trumpeters at the barracks. He said the firing continued for about 15 minutes after the call ceased. He thought the men firing the shots were stationed in the town near the gate into the military reservation. He did not hear any shots passing over the guardhouse. A White Soldier Testifies. William C. Nolan, a private of the first class in the hospital corps, a white soldier, who had been stationed at Fort Brown for two years prior to the arrival of the Afro-American soldiers, said that he was at the hospital, when the shooting began, with Sergtg. Altman and Sanborn, and three or four patients. He was awake, he said, suffering with muscular rheumatism. The first shot, he thought, came from the rear of the commissary, back of the hospital, and not from the direction of the town. He said he paid no attention to that, but in a few minutes there were three more shots, and then five shots, which he said sounded as if the men firing were moving around the road. Northeast of the town is a saloon which was opened for the Afro-American soldier trade, and Nolan said that from near that point several more shots were fired, and then from near the gate into the reservation. He heard no bullets nor saw any flashes from guns. He thought that the fort was being attacked, but he would not be certain that the shooters were outside or within the military inclouse. On cross-examination, Nolan said there was only one call to arms, and that was sounded by the musician at the guard house and 25 to 30 minutes elapsed between the first shot and the call to arms. During the morning session Charles W. Askew, formerly clerk of Company C, was examined. It developed that he was one of the 12 men charged with complicity in the shooting. Senator Foraker was permitted to put into the record the charges he made against these men and the fact that the grand jury against them. He asked the witness if he knew who had preferred the charges against him and why. Askew said he believe Capt. McDonald, the Texas Ranger, was responsible, as he had sent for him and had told him to bring his caps. The witness explained that he had three caps and had given one away at Fort Nibroara to Sergt. Turner. He said he told Capt. McDonald these facts. Senator Warner asked the witness to give his opinion as to why he had been arrested. Askew replied: "Why, I thought maybe they had found a cap he worn with my initials in it." He asked in reply to questions said he had been heard that such a cap had been found but, he had found it while he was in jail that such might be the reason he had been arrested. He thought that Mexicans might have gained access to a box of old clothing and stolen a cap. He said he could think of no other reason why he, "an innocent man," should be put in confinement. He did not know whether the cap he had given to Turner had been taken to Brownville. Dodged Behind Brick Pillars. Wm. Harden said on the afternoon of the riot he had left the hospital to go to the canteen and get a piece of apple pie. He had been sick and was convalescing. He was told by the sergeant in charge to get back before the acting surgeon, who was also the mayor of the town, came to the hospital on his visit. Coming out of the canteen Harden encountered MaJ. Penrose the mayor of Brownsville, strung out the stranger. The arrear was using forceful language, and telling MaJ. Penrose that his wife had been assaulted by soldiers, and that unless arrests were made before 10 o'clock every d—— soldier would be killed. Harden told of hearing shots fired north and east of the hospital. THE BLACK BATTALION And the Brownsville "Affray"—Local Social and Personal News of the Week. Painesville, O.—W. H.

A neat sum realized 2 THE GAZETTE THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The convict lease system of the south is a festering sore. What is the use of boasting of having "the balance of power" in any state when everyone knows it can't be used? Senator Charles Dick delivered a fine address to one of our organizations in Washington, D. C., on a recent Friday evening. The club was celebrating the nineteenth birthday of the Hon. Frederick Douglass. Virginia Afro-Americans have $30,000,000 in property and $759,564 in banks. They own one-nineteenth of the total area of the state and are still buying. This is indeed a splendid showing. Senator Scott, of our native state, West Virginia, has "made good" with us as a result of his aggressive support of Senator Foraker in the Brownsville matter. And "Col." Phil Waters, "the orator of the Kanawha," is consequently happy. Mr. Henry Lee, of De Soto, Mo., one of our readers, writes the editor of The Gazette that the "Jim Crow" can bill pending in one branch of the Missouri assembly, after its passage by the other, will not become a law. We hope he is right. Has Senator Warren done anything to bring such a result? While there is some difference of opinion as to the cause or causes of the recent death of the Atlanta (Ga.) Daily News, nearly all seem to agree that the Atlanta massacre which it did more to encourage than all other agencies combined, and too much John Temple Graves, were the real causes. "Good riddance!" If northerners in the south were one-tenth as aggressive for the right along citizens' rights and humanity lines as southerners in the north are for the wrong, working up discrimination against and mistreatment of Afro-Americans in every public place, and oftimes in private, there would be very little of the so-called "race problem" left in a very few years. See the Columbus, O., letter elsewhere in this paper. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Mr. Ed O. Peets (white), an artist, 62 Tennis street, this city, for a large splendid picture of the deceased poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. It is one of the very best portraits of him we have ever seen, and is fine work indeed. We shall frame and hang it in The Gazette sanctum, so all may see it who wish to do so. Duplicate copies can doubtless be secured from Mr. Peets, on order. We again remind our readers that what we need to-day more than education, wealth or religion is a knowledge of economy, a sort of domestic economy, if you please. The old saying that it is not so much what or how much you make or earn, as it is how much you save, will very materially assist all to understand just what we mean when we say domestic economy—the economy of the home and individual economy. Give it some thought, please. The south accuses the north of bribing the colored voters to vote the republican ticket. The south steals the election outright. Granting that the north purchases its elections, which is worse, to buy or to steal?—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. To steal is worse, of course. But the north does not bribe Afro-Americans in this or any other section of the country to vote the republican ticket. Tillman, Vardaman, Hoke Smith and their lik, Atlanta and Wilmington massacres and the democratic state governments of the south, make it wholly unnecessary, even if it were possible, which, of course, it is not. The Alabama legislature (democratic) decided some weeks ago to investigate the finances of Tuskegee institute. Now it is threatening to tax the school lands. It seems that one outrage is not enough. The legislators of that state ought to be ashamed of themselves, especially since Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the institution, has referred to white southerners as "the best friends of the race," and has in season and out pleaded in extenuation for many of the terrible wrongs inflicted upon our people of that section of the country. He and the institution have our earnest sympathy as the result of impending Alabama legislative evils. To what extent will not the average southern legislature go in the effort to impede the progress of our people? M'CLURE'S TEMERITY. Editor Samuel G. McClure (white), of the Youngstown Daily Telegram, former secretary of Mayor Robert E. McKisson, of this city, was in Washington, D. C., Monday and like the few "Taft" men in Ohio who manage in some way to get to that city occasionally, was careful to get himself interviewed by newspaper reporters and correspondents, hungry for anything bordering on the sensational. And it is next to if not sensational (because his kind is so few in number) when an Ohioan declares for any other republican than Ohio's favorite son and most brilliant statesman and jurist, the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, as the next standard-bearer of the party for the presidency, at least so far as Ohio is able to influence the national republican convention of 1908 by a united state delegation. McClure's Telegram and the Negro-hating Cleveland Leader are "sensational" only for reasons stated. But what we wanted our readers to note with care and thought is what the editor of the "Youngsvillage" Telegram said in the closing paragraph of his more or less "sensational" and amusing half column Leader Washington, D. C., dispatch interview of Tuesday: "Brownsville Fight Weakens Foraker" "Senator Foraker has weakened himself in Ohio unquestionably by his course in opposing President Roosevelt in the Brownsville affair. No president since Lincoln has had such a hold on the people as President Roosevelt. The people have implicit force and faith in him, and whether the president is wrong in the Brownsville affair the people are standing by him. They don't like to see any attempt to discredit the president, consequently Senator Foraker's course in the Brownsville affair has hurt him with the people, and I believe this will be more apparent as time goes on." "Right or wrong in the Brownsville affair the people are standing by the president" and "Senator Foraker has weakened himself in Ohio unquestionably by his course in opposing him," would be true statements if white Ohioans were a lot of dependent ignorance or other than among the most intelligent, independent thinking and acting body of people on American soil. They are ideal Americans in these respects at least, not slaves or worshippers of any man, even the president, to any such extent as McClure would have them, and we are surprised that Ohio has a newspaper man with the temerity to make such a manifestly silly statement in public or in private for that matter. What job is Sam McClure seeking? As for the Afro-Americans of the entire country, and particularly Ohio, with the possible exception of Geo. Myers, Charles Cottrill, Henry Eubanks and Ralph Tyler, who recently set their political sails to catch a local federal job which the few anti-Foraker Ohlos to the McClure kind endeavored to tole the president into giving some renegade republican Negro, they are a unit in their loyal support of the next president of the United States, Senator Foraker. Throws a Bombshell. Prof. W, E. B, DuBois threw a bombshell into the ranks of the white people of New York when he told them in a lecture a few days ago that Alexander Hamilton, Robert Browning and Gen. Lew Wallace were of African descent. We are waiting to see some one who knows what he is talking about deny these facts. Well informed colored men have known of them for some years. The color of a man's skin he cause the burden of his being denied opportunities, but it does not operate to dim his intellect. Of this fact all men who are not fools are aware—Phila. (Pa.) Odd Fellows' Journal. Wants Peonage Information Washington, D. C.—Representative Clark (white), of Florida, has introduced a resolution requesting the attorney general to furnish the house with full information as to how much money the department of justice has expended in ferreting out peonage cases in Florida to prevent the murder, whether Mrs. Quackenboss (white), who has been connected with the cases, is employed by the government. Also why the regular federal attorneys of the two Florida districts are not able to look after the government interests in that state. Embezzles Funds from University. Altoona, Pa.—A true bill was found by the Blair county grand jury against J. B. Raymond, Negro politician, and former Altoona alderman, for embezzlement of $316 belonging to Lincoln university, Chester county's charitable institution, of which he was trustee. Raymond is also wanted for practicing as an attorney. He disappeared some time ago, jumping his ball, and could not be found. He was a Quay ileutenant.—Phila. Tribune. Earns a $1,200 Position.

Those doing the firing were on horseback, he said, and he heard the sound of horses' hoofs. Witness, together with the white hospital corps men, was on the porch of the hospital. Bullets went over the wall, and the men, them to stand behind the wick pillars to keep from getting hit. The firing lasted about five minutes after the call to arms was sounded. Corporals Wheeler and Franklin on last week Tuesday testified that Gen. Garlington and Capt. Lyon shut them off when they attempted to tell of having heard the galloping of horses outside of and the whizzing of bullets over the barracks on the night of August 13-14. Corporal Burdett, Privates Carolina D. Saussure and Geo. Johnson also testified the same day, but developed nothing new, only corroborating the testimony of comrades who preceded them on the witness stand. On Wednesday Privates Elm Brown and Boyd Conyers, of Co. B, were certain that the shooting came from the town. On Thursday Wilbert Voschelle (white), coral boss at Ft. Brown, contradicted the testimony of Wm. Mapp, who stated that he had been in the town (Brownsville) the night before the shooting and had heard of a day to massacre the soldiers when they were shot in saloon. Voschelle testified that white soldiers who preceded the Twenty-fifth infantry at Ft. Brown had trouble with the citizens of Brownsville. Privates Charles Hairston and Samuel Battle, of Co. B, and former Corporal John H. Hill, of Co. C, also testified, developing nothing new. The committee then adjourned until Monday of this week, when the testimony adjuduced continued to favor our "discharged without honor" soldiers Sergt. Francis L. Altman (white), of the hospital corps, was cross-examined by Senator Foraker on his statement before Inspector General Garlington. He said shooting at night was common in Brownsville and that the citizens had had trouble with the white soldiers at the opening of a park in the town. Afro-Americans and "greasers" (Mexicans) were admitted, but soldiers (white) were excluded. There was a sign posted, "soldiers and dogs not allowed in here." This he said might have been posted in the night, though Almieri. Altman had been in two years. He heard two shots coming from the direction of the quartermaster's coral, which might have come from the country road beyond, where witnesses have testified the first firing was heard. It sounded like automatic pistol. Witness told of two women coming to the hospital during the shooting and asking to be allowed to sleep there, so they would be safe. One of the women said the people of Brownsville were shooting up the town. Rolland Osburn (white), post quartermaster, gray bearded, 22 years in the service and stationed several years at Brownsville, did not arise when awakened by the shooting. He thought it was a night drill by the soldiers. He declared that the conduct of the colored soldiers was generally superior to that of the white soldiers. They also maintained better discipline and were set down in the guard house, which was not the case with the white soldiers. Privates W. H. Sharpe, blacksmith, Privates E. Rudy, artificer, and Geo. W. Gray, all members of Co. C, testified the same day, developing nothing more, but strengthening previous testimony of comrades. Temple Thornton, former corporal of Co. D, insisted that 20 minutes was the shortest time in which a gun could be cleaned if shot only once. He was asked by Senator Foraker if he had ever seen a commissioned officer clean a rifle. The witness had not, and Senator Foraker said: "We are told that one of our generals can clean a gun in two minutes." "Till work for him the rest of my life if he can do it in two minutes, or five minutes, or ten minutes," replied the witness. "If he cleans a gun in ten minutes, he breaks the record." Senator Foraker smiled, and said to Senator Scott: "At 4:00,000 to charity if the general I mean can clean a gun in ten minutes. I doubt whether he could clean a gun in an hour." The committee adjourned at 4:15 o'clock until to-day. GRILLED OPPONENTS Of Tuskegee Institute on the Taxation Question—Good! Montgomery, Ala.—In a speech before the house committee on local legislation, at a recent hearing with regard to a bill to withdraw exemptions on the properties of the Booker Washington institute, Capt. Frank S. White (white) followed the lead of a number of other public spirited white men in this state when he said that there was not another such institution as the Tuskegee normal and industrial school in the whole south, and it should be a model of place in Alabama possessed this greatest of all schools looking to the education of the Negro race for work and higher ideals. "If the school is not doing the right kind of service," said Capt. White, "let the legislature have the backbone to strike it down at once. If it is doing a reasonable and good service for the Negro, as a race, and for the younger members of the race particularly, uphold it and encourage it in every way possible. Do not undertake to embarrass it by little jabs of legislation here and there, but give to it every support possible in order that whatever is done may be done well." Several of the leading white citizens of Tuskegee also appeared in behalf of the institution before the committee, and it was shown by their evidence that the presence of the school had increased the taxable values of the properties of the county to greater extent than the tax losses would amount to by the exemptions granted to the institution.

Richmond, Va.—As an evidence of thrift, I have compiled a few figures from the annual report of the state auditor of public accounts for 1996. These figures show that Afro-Americans of Virginia own 1,385,426 acres of land, exclusive of their town lots. These acres and their buildings are valued at $12,722,822. Their town lots and improvements are valued at $4,555,520; their personal property at $2,101,231. This great total of $22,488,574 does not include the many church schools, charitable institutions, and businesses that own properties not listed for taxation, but whose aggregate value would run the grand total up to near the thirty million mark. The number of acres owned is about one-nineteenth of the total area of the state. Upon these millions we are assessed $270,019.24. At the close of business, Jan. 26, 1997, the four savings banks operated here by Afro-Americans filed their quarterly report with the state corporation as president. The savings bank of the Grand Fountain Library Order True Reformers, have resources valued at $880,509.34; St. Luke Penny Savings bank, $56,929.97; Mechanics Savings bank, $122,514.71. Figures for the Nickel Savings bank are not available at this writing. George St. Julian Stephens. The Black Man's Deviation The uncomplimentary contrast with the observation of Prof. Starr or the cruel expression of the white man's face as it appears to men of other races, is the tribute of a Canadian woman to the generosity of the blacks of Kingston, Jamaica, at the time of the earthquake. We copy it from the Toronto Daily Star of the 30th: "The black servants, for whom I have come to have the profoundest reverence in this hour of trial, crowded round apparently less frightened than the whites, and with only one desire to be of aid, to run, fetch, and carry, saying comforting words of religion, for they seem to have naturally a deep faith, and dbling all that love they have given to the people we would have done, without these eager feet and hands, those unconfused heads, in those moments I could not say." It would do white men no harm to reflect upon the possibility of there being in the "interior" races a human quality in comparison with which the domineering quality of the all-conquering white man may be as those of African Americans. All the conquer is not necessarily evidence of superiority—Chicago Public. "Nerve!" Who Is P. E. Graver? "Nerve!" Who is P. E. Graver? Columbus, O. The question whether segregated schools can be lawfully maintained in Ohio was raised on the 19th ult. through an inquiry addressed to Attorney General Ellis by P. E. Graver (white), a citizen of Cleveland, evidently not long there from the south. In his letter he especially referred to children of Mongolian descent as well as Afro-Americans. In many respects the same points were made by the San Francisco school dispute now being adjusted at Washington. In response the legal department informed Mr. Graver that under the Ohio statutes there could be no separate schools for the races. A number of cases bearing directly upon this point were cited and the law quoted, the courts having passed upon the question many years ago. The Cleveland inquired did not state his reasons for asking the questions, but it is surmised that he had in mind a suit to compel the board of education to order a segregation. Loses Steamboat License Norfolk, Va.-United States steamboat inspectors Tapley and Bray have revoked the license, of Capt. A. L. Calhoun, (white) master of the steamer "Volunteer," of Norfolk, because he was accustomed to leave the wheel of his boat in charge of an animal collecting fares. Capt. Calhoun may appeal within 30 days to Supervising Inspector Oast, of the Third district. Be Sure to Read this Book. Cleverland, FEB. 17, 1907 Hon. H. C.

Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was finally excused as a witness in the trial of her husband. Mr. Jerome ended his long cross-examination and her re-direct and re-cross-examination were brief. Attempts to have Abraham Hummel tell of the affidavit Mrs. Thaw is said to have signed accusing her husband of abusing her were blocked by Attorney Delmas. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw entered upon the ordale of her cross-examination, and before District Attorney Jerome had had the witness in charge for half an hour he had secured from the court a ruling which opens the way for bringing into the trial of Harry K. Thaw all manner of evidence which may tend to discredit the defendant's wife. This will be introduced to disprove the truth of the story she told Thaw. Mr. Jerome brought out that in 1902 one gave Mrs. Thaw $25 a week, and that she wrote to White from Boulogne after Thaw had proposed to her. Reports that District Attorney Jerome would ask for the appointment of a lunacy commission to examine Harry K. Thaw and that Mrs. William Thaw, his mother, had given her consent to that course, worried the defendant in the murder trial. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw had a comparatively easy day on the witness stand and made two gains for her husband's case. She said Thaw would not let her spend any of White's money when they were abroad together, and that the cablegrams to White from London were not about her, but about a man who had insulted her mother. Mr. Jerome announced that his cross-examination was nearly over. CONGRESSIONAL NEWS A heated controversy which at one time seemed to threaten a personal encounter between Mr. Macon of Arkansas and Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, occurred on the floor of the house when the house had under consideration the post office appropriation bill.

Ship subsidy secured a marked impetus in the house, which just before adjournment adopted a rule that will probably insure the passage by the house of the Littauer substitute for the senate bill and result before the final adjournment in positive legislation. The house began a two days' debate on the ship subsidy bill, and the senate passed the Aldrich currency bill. MISCELLANEOUS John F.

Destruction of Fleas The Agricultural Research institute of Bengal has concluded a series of scientific experiments to determine the best method of destroying fleas, the investigation having special reference to checking the ravages of the plague. The formula recommended is the free use of crude oil emulsion—80 per cent. of crude petroleum mixed with 20 per cent. of whale oil soap. This combination makes a jelly which mixes freely with water, and is generally used at three per cent. solution, while at 16 per cent. it destroys all fleas with perfect certainty. It is applied to floors and walls with a sprayer. It is said that an animal washed with it will be entirely relieved of the pests. TRUE SPIRIT OF COURTESY. Impulse Prompted by Owner's Noble ness of Heart. Courtesy is a quality of the heart and suggests a forgetfulness of self, a refinement and delicacy of temperament that prompts the charming act as impulse. The gentle spirit of courtesy betrays itself in the manner of addressing a servant or a weary assistant behind the counter as well as friends and acquaintances. A lack of courtesy often results from a mistaken idea as to one's own importance. The thought is born in the heart; but a false idea of independence presents action. It merely is an act of courtesy and a mark of nobleness of mind voluntarily to resign one's right in favor of another. It is the same mistaken idea that confuses frankness with rudeness. It is a virtue not to resort to the many petty deceptions that mar our social system. While we turn with disgust from the woman who bids her friend an affectionate farewell one moment and breathes a sigh of relief at her departure the next, we can but admit that a truly courteous heart will refrain from speaking an unpleasant truth without imperiling the person's veracity. AWFUL NEURALGIA Pain Turned This Woman's Hair White but she Was Cured by them. Do not seek relief from suffering simply, but free your system from the disease while you cope with your suffering. That is the message which a former victim of neuralgia sends to those who are still in its grasp. Hot applications, powders that deaden the senses and others that reduce the heart action may cause temporary relief but the pain is sure to return with greater intensity. Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a beautiful home at 811 Boulevard West, Detroit, Mich., suffered for years with neuralgia until she tried this tonic treatment. She says: "My trouble began about six years ago and I did not rest as I should have, but kept up about my many duties. After a time I became so weak I could not do any work at all, and severe backaches and such drewwful headaches in the back part and top of my head. My ears were easily tired and times I were black spots before them. I consulted several doctors but without the slightest benefit. The pains were so intense that my hair turned white. "I lost continually in weight and strength and was almost in despair when a friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I tried them according to directions and soon began to feel relief. At the end of three months I had gained ten pounds in weight and had no more trouble with my nerves. I have been in perfect health ever since and can heartily commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druglists, or sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schectenyet, N. Y.

Come let us cheer him; the woman be long. Don't laugh because they are getting old and gray; but remember while you are young the day to you will come—you will be poor, old and only in the way. M. E. T. Property on Perry street or Sterling avenue, between Scovill and Prospect will for years to come depreciate in value, and it will be a most unfortunate investment for St. John's church to locate on either one of them. Case or Willson avenue are the ideal locations in every way and will be for 50 years to come. Purchasing property on Perry street or Sterling avenue these days with a hope of ever getting your money out of it in this life is not as easy as for many. It would prove a sink-hole to the money of St. John's church invested, and a very unsatisfactory location, too. Both streets are not wide enough to permit the new church edifice to make the showing it should. The following appeared in the local daily papers of last week Wednesday: "To train young colored people to be efficient servants, and to render them capable of filling positions of trust, is the purpose and plan of the Northern Industrial institute, organized last week at 3221 Central avenue.

Classes, which have already begun, will be given in sewing, cooking, laundry work, carpentry, cabinet work, masonry and farming. A nominal tuition fee will be charged. Rev. C. D. Holley, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, and his brother, Rev. J. H. Holley, lately of the Tuskegee institute, the president and vice president." Lord, have mercy! One of the Oldest Dead.

Have we abundant proof that Peruna ia in real- ity such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. ‘The United States Dispensatory cays of this herbal remedy, that it is largely ‘employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca- tarth of the shomach), chronic intesti- nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca- tarth of the liver) and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treat- ment of various forms of diseases pe- culiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, cory- dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory asa tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomackic and as 4 tonic for the mucous membranes, Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past Sfty yeare, The seeds ere to be found in very few drug stores, The United States Dispensstory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a sub- stitute for quinine. il of copsiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory aa a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimu- Jant on the genito-urinary membranes.

Recently member of conkress from Missouri came racing down the iron steps which led to the train shea of one of the depots in Washington, Just as the'train was pulling out. The member was stout and per- spiring, and his arms were filied with bundles, for he was a commuter. Everybody got out of his way as he chased the rear car down the .ong platform, some shouting advice and more or less pleasant comment after him. Some sportively inclined per. sons offered bets in a loud voice on his chances of catching the train, while others laughed at his grim de termination. The member caught the train, be ing hoisted upon the platform by trainman, without the loss of a bun: dle, He shook his fist at the cheer Ing ctowd behind him and went in side the car with the blissful sense of having “won out.” It was only when the conductor ‘ame around that he learned that he was on a Chicago express, instead of local accommodation. However, he accepted the situation gracefully, ob serving: “There's one comfort. Those idiots In the station will never know.

Albert Douglas, who will succeed Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio in the next house, is not weighted down with worldly goods, and was rather startled by an experience he had while looking around Washington for quarters. At one of the good hotels he was shown @ suite consisting of bedroom, parlor and bathroom. On inquiring the monthly rent he was informed “only $1,000 for yourself and wife.” Recov- ering his breath, which he managed to do without showing a tithe of his as- tonishment, he said with great calm- ness, “I'll write my wife all about the rooms and let her know beforehand ‘what comforts we shall have when wo come here to live. So until I hear from her you need not mark me for this suite. She may think from the price that your hotel is not the kind We ought to live in.” Demand for Cocoanut Meat.

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES. The Evolved Product of Centuries of invention. ‘The point of a needic is a very im- portant part of that useful little in- strument, and there are many points about needles calculated to interest the general public. ‘The daily con- sumption of needles all over the world Is something like 3,000,000, while every year the women of the United States break, lose and use some 300,- 000,000 of those tiny tools. Few peo- ple while threading a needle have ever given a thought to the various Processes through which the wire must pass before it comes out a needie. Yet the manufacture of needles includes some 21 different processes from cutting the wire and threading the double needies by the eyes to separating the two needies on the one length of wire, heading, hard- ening in oil, cleaning out the sides of the eye, point-setting, and final pol- ishing. For wrapping purple paper is used, since {t prevents rusting. There are many sorts of needles, for sur- eons’, cooks’, glovemakers’, weavers’, saflmakers', broommakers’, milliners’ and dressmakers' use. The needle is the evolved product of centuries of {nyention. In its primitive form it was made of bone, tvory, or wood, Foint by point its manufacture has improved, until this little but not in- significant instrument is now one of the highly-finished products of twen- tleth century machinery and skill— Zion's Herald.

Sugar cane, as is generally known, 1s grown by planting the stalks them. ‘selves in furrows, but this does not have to be done every year. In the Rio Grande Valley of Texab a single planting will last for eight or ten years. Another point: Rio Grande ‘cane contains about thirty per cent. more sugar than that of other locali- tles.
