THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 33. FASHION'S FICKLE FANCIES TWO EXQUISITE GOWNS TRIFLES OF THE WARDROBE Fashion is called fickle for more than alliteration's sake. She has all the feminine fallings—or what are known as such. Inconsequence, love of change, lack of humor, all that goes to the making of the eternal feminine. Over these the world has theorized for ages past, and always will. Till the last day, both woman and fashion will be denounced for their whims and moods, for it is possible in life to live down everything, even a crime, but a theory—never. Variety is not wanting in the new fashions. The very short bolero is worn over a high Empire belt, but most popular of all are the coatslets with tiny basques. At present, every thing is supposed to have a basque, and the long, tight-fitting coats are still quite in fashion. The short fur bolero with pointed front and back reaching to the waist-line is quite out of favor; but we are still wearing loose, short, sleeveless boleros of fur, and the daltest of cape boleros with a frilled sleeve made in fur or in velvet. Stripes are quite as fashionable, if not more so, than ever. They take the form of black hair-line tartan or tweed fabrics. Striped also are our evening gowns, of silver and white, or colored gauze, with a deep hem of satin or chine Pompadour ribbon at the hem. This is headed by repousse embroidery of silver spangles. Most of the trimmings are padded and en relief, Princesse gowns are entirely spangled in gold or silver or jet. The mother-of-pearl spangles are not so much in favor as last year. They have been found to prove hard and unbecoming. The dressing sacques are an important part of a woman's wardrobe and the prettier the cloth and the more exquisite the design the more will the comfort be which the wearer will secure from its possession for what woman is there who can feel really happy in a garment which is not pretty and becoming. A new cloth, "viyella," is a perfect material for anything in the way of dressing gowns; as it is soft and warm and absolutely refuses to shrink when it is washed. It comes in a variety of pretty patterns and colorings, though of course only the plain white and ivory would Charming Dressing Sacque. be used in making night dresses. The dressing sacque shown in our illustration is made of the figured goods, and is trimmed with soft silk to match the color of the spots in the goods. The waist belt is also of the same material. There has always seemed to me to be a strange contrast between the pains a woman takes to look her best when she faces the world, and her indifference about her appearance when in her bedroom. Every curl In Union There Is Strength. For young girls, the most delightful ribbon arrangements are being designed on tulle or tartatan skirts, the narrow satin ribbons forming a trellis work or crossbar design. The bodies are trimmed with bretelles made in the same way. We are now following the foreign fashion of wearing muslin or thin silk blouses under our fur coats, and such is the incongruity of fashion that fur and winter coats alone give the impression of mid-winter. The very latest idea for smart wear is to have the bodices as flimsy as possible. Let us take, for instance, a dress of satin-faced crepe-de-Chine, in color of a soft brownish moss-green. A wide transparent insertion of lace (thick gulpure) of the same color trims the skirt, which is very close at the top and wide at the foot. The blouse bodice will be of green (crimped) chiffon over silk, with a yoke and trimming of the green lace. One startling fact in the world of fashion is to be recorded. We are going to have yet another "new figure;" waists are being made short at the back and very long in front, so much so that many bodices and coats in the best West-End houses show quite an Empire back. Corsets, too will follow suit. This is a very useful fashion for women with thick waists, but for a perfect line of back nothing can touch the Princess gown. We are paying more attention than ever the lines of the figure, and petticoats are said to be going out. They are made of the most transparent material, and very much befrilled at the foot. and tress must be in its right place outside the sanctuary, but within, a head something between that of a squaw or of Struwepeleter what is probably to be found, reposing among lace-edged sheets and pillows in the early morning. Now it is not right that a pretty woman should ever abdicate the throne of her beauty. There is nothing so ugly as a tangled, unkempt head after a night's tumbling about on a pillow; but thanks to the incoming night caps none need present that appearance nowadays. One exquisite little cap we saw the other day was of fine lace embroidered with the daintiest of tiny ribbons in the form of flowers and leaves in pale pink and pale blue. A hand of lace was loose from the main part of the cape, and came low over the forehead, with a tuff of curls pulled out between. A second cap was what might be called the "revised Dutch" cap, a sort of glorified "mob" of finest muslin with square pieces at the side, and hanging full at the back of the neck. There were square insertions of embroidery on the sidepieces which framed the face in the most becoming way, and the cap was edged all around with Valenciennes lace, while a blue ribbon was tied in bows at either side. A third cap was a Belgian shape with quaint rounded pieces of broderie Anglaise over the ears, edged with Valenciennes; a round piece of the broderie, threaded with narrow ribbon, formed the crown of the cap at the back, while a wide ribbon passed under the sides and was tied in a big bow across the front. Slaughter of Robins. In central Tennessee are large tracts of cedars, the berries of which serve to attract myriads of robins in the winter. One small hamlet in this region sends to market annually enough robins to return $500 at five cents a dozen, equal to 120,000 birds. They are killed at night by torchlight and with sticks.

If we are good enough to use bullets, we are good enough to use ballots.

Against such a conclusion every sentiment of honor and manly fraternity utters an indignant protest.—Speech of Douglass on Negro suffrage in 1864. THE SALOON At Brownsville, Tex., Was "Shot Up." CAUSE OF THE RIOT Officers Ordered to Report Fail to Appear—May Go to Texas—Soldiers Tell of the Shooting. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.-The senate committee on military affairs on Monday resumed the hearing of testimony in the Brownville affair. It was the consensus of opinion that next month would also be consumed in the examination of witnesses. No conclusion has been reached as to a visit to Brownville for the purpose of hearing witnesses. Senators Warren (chairman), Foraker, Scott, Hemenway, Lodge, Warner, Foster, Bulkeley, Overman and Pettus were present. When it adjourned ten days ago the officers (white) of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who were before the court-martial in session at Brownville, were expected here at this time, and there was much disappointment Monday at their failure to arrive. They have been notified to appear immediately upon their discharge by the court, and their testimony is awaited with much interest. If corroborates the men who have testified thus far have had to say, a pretty clear case will be made out in favor of the men of the discharged body. The officers of the Twenty-sixth infantry (white), which preceded the Twenty-fifth at Brownville, reported to the committee Monday. These men will be put on the stand to testify concerning the antagonism of the citizens of Brownville to soldiers located there. The first witness Monday was former Quartermaster Sergeant Walker McCurdy, of Company B, who was before the committee February 8. Senator Warner cross-examined him closely relative to the supply reserve of rifles in his charge, which was said to have been kept in tightly sealed chests. The witness declared he did not know how many guns were in these chests. Although he was on the stand for more than an hour, nothing nailed it. He helpless. Joseph Henry Howard, formerly of Company D, testified that on the night of August 13 he went on guard at 10:20 o'clock, and his post was around the barracks. About mildnight he heard two shots from the town and then a fusillade. The witness was asked by Mr. Foraker: "Were you in a place where you could have seen 15 or 20 men leave the barracks and jump over the wall, if they had done so?" "Yes, sir," replied Howard. "Did any men leave the barracks and jump over the wall?" asked Mr. Foraker. "No, sir," the witness answered. Howard testified also that a scavenger was working between the barracks and the wall between 11 and 12 o'clock, and this man could have soldiers SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. leaving the barracks if they had done so. Cross-examination by Mr. Warner developed that the witness first thought the shots were fired at him, but when he heard no shot strike about the quarters he was sure the firing was in the opposite direction from the fort. Howard testified that he was one of the 12 men arrested for the shooting. He was poised and that when the balance of the troopers to leave Brownville Maj. Penrose called at the guard house and said: "If you men had told what you know about this affair you would not be in here. If you know anything about the shooting you want to tell it." The witness said that Gen. Garlington had told him that he was charged with conspiracy to murder, and that if he did not tell all he knew he would be discharged from the service by order of the president, and that Gen. McCassan had asked him to tell what he knew he would have answered every time that he told all he knew. Mr. Foraker read the charge filed against the witness and asked him if he had ever been given an opportunity to plead to it. "No, sir," was the reply. "Then I give you the chance now," said Mr. Foraker. "What do you plead?" "Not guilty," answered the witness, emphatically. "I suppose, of course, you would tell us if you were guilty," commented Mr. "North Carolina" Overman, with sarcasm. "Yes, sir, I would tell," said the witness. He then repeated that he had been ready for trial at all times, and knew had been willing to tell all he knew he would have answered every time that he had made adffavids at three distinct examinations by army officers Alexander Ash, formerly a private of Company D, testified that he was on guard August 13, the night of the shooting, at the post around the quartermaster's store house and other buildings in that vicinity. He said he heard two shots from the county road, and then horses running toward Allison's (Afro-Americans) saloon, from which direction he heard several more shots. The balance of his testimony was corroborative of that given by other witnesses. Joseph Rogers, of Company C, testified that when the shooting occurred he was in the guard house reading a novel. His direct testimony developed little that was new, but on cross-examination his statement made before Lovering was called to his attention. In that statement Rogers said he was asleep when the shooting occurred. Monday he denied that he had been asked by Col. Lovering whether he was asleep or awake. The committee adjourned until 11 The committee adjourned until 11 o'clock next day. SIMPLY ASTOUNDING The Debased Suffrage Condition in the South—Will President Roosevelt Heed? When the president shall learn that, through the partisan machinations of the present state constitution of Alabama and the cunning and adroitness of its ingeniously planned workings, there are now fully 100,000 white citizens, alone, who are disfranchised by its operations; when he shall realize that less than 3,000 colored citizens are capable voters in this great commonwealth of this country, outrage of suppression of the voice of American citizens, both white and black, then he will understand how great a force are his words in arrang- ment of this kind of states' rights which stand "for national weakness or impotence at home." With 235,000 whites of voting age in the state, together with over 189,000 blacks, there are now no more than 90,000 persons voting! It is impossible to conceive, then, when the president has clearly perceived the facts of this situation, how his powerful voice and influence can be withheld from some masterful stroke to strike down this particular form of states' rights which so unmistakably "mean the people's wrongs." In the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia there are 3,317,707 white male citizens of over 21 years of age. There were, in addition, 1,129,714 best for the Parker and Davis electoral ticket in these dozen states. There were 622,227 ballots returned as cast for the republican electoral ticket. The combined vote, therefore, is but 1,751,941, which leaves 1,565,856 white citizens as not voting. There being 3,317,797 whites, alone, of voting age in these states and, as but 1,129,714 ballots were returned for the democratic ticket, it will be seen that there were 2,188,083 white voters who did not support the democratic ticket. Add the number of Negro male citizens of over 21 years of age in this dozen states, which leaves 1,565,856 to the number of whites of voting age, which is 3,317,797 and there is a total of 4,866,737. This vast citizenship is dominated, as is seen from the statistics, by only 1,129,714 votes! This astounding, this bewildering, this debased suffrage condition cannot be disputed. With this array of facts the democracy cannot escape from being confronted—Alexandria (Ala.) Southern American. Killed by a Train.

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. To our staunch friend and ex-colleague in the Ohio legislature, the Hon. Wm. R. Stewart, of Youngstown, we extend heartfelt sympathy. The loss of "one of the best fathers that ever lived" is made less great only as a result of a full realization and appreciation of the fact that an All Wise Providence permits a very, very dear mother to remain. Elsewhere in this paper will be found an article headed, "The Kind of Rot," taken from the Cleveland Dally News, Charles A. Otis, Jr., publisher. Read it carefully and thoughtfully, and remember that some few republicans are talking of him as the next republican candidate for mayor. No paper ever published in Cleveland has referred to our people of this community in such contemptuous terms and persisted in so doing in the face of all sorts of protests. A fine (?) candidate for any office in this community he would make! What self-respecting Afro-Americans with manhood would do to him, isn't written in the books." It seems that there are not enough color lines drawn in this community to suit some of our people who come here from other parts of the country. They have kept harping until they have well-nigh closed the Y. M. C. A. and many other public institutions and places of business to our people. Now they are calling upon the people of this community for donations to establish a local "Booker T. Washington industrial school" in the face of Cleveland's splendid public school system which includes the very best provisions for both classical education and industrial training. Then, too, there are entirely too many separate "charitable and semi-charitable" institutions being established in the city by Afro Americans, many of whom seem to be more anxious to solicit money from the public than to go to work and earn an honest living. This is a phase of our local life to which our people ought to direct immediate attention and thought. These same color line drawers have already begun a demand for "Jim Crow" or separate public schools for our people. Where is this thing to end? In a complete return to the miserable color lines of the south? Ask yourself this question. GEO. R. NEVELS AND WIFE. "Geo. R. Nevels and wife, president and secretary, Afro-American Humane Labor league and trustees of the Holloway Home with offices at 277 Baxter street, Dayton, O.; 534 5th street, Cincinnati, O, and 2471 E. 12th street, Cleveland, O." Thus reads their card. Last year two of the leading ladies of Ashtabula came to Cleveland, hunting them up and claiming they had given Mr. and Mrs. Nevels money to support some industrial movement they (the Nevels) claimed to be promoting, and asked the editor of The Gazette to do what they had been unable to do, locate Mr. and Mrs. Nevels, because they had promised the Ashtabula ladies to assist them whenever they wished good servants. Nevels and his wife could not be found at either the Cleveland or Dayton addresses given the Ashtabula ladies. Both of us tried to locate them here, and with the assistance of our Dayton representative we tried to locate them in Dayton. One there seemed to know anything about them. While in Painesville last week Wednesday night we heard that Nevels and his wife had recently "worked" that town, leaving there for Cleveland. Also that Mrs. Nevels in the last few days wrote a lady in Painesville from Cleveland saying that she would soon be there to visit her as promised. Several weeks ago persons here told the writer that the Chamber of Commerce had put a stop to their soliciting in this city. These people seem to make Cleveland their headquarters for at least a goodly portion of their time and from all we can learn they ought to be stopped from soliciting here or elsewhere for reasons obvious. Our representative in Dayton was unable to learn of the whereabouts of the alleged "Afro-American Humane Labor league and the Holloway Home." It is said they collected considerable money in both Painesville and Ashtabula. Be on the look-out for them! Friends in Painesville say he is a dark man, that she is a heavy set mulatto woman of medium height, and that they are very attentive to one another. A QUEER CIVIL RIGHTS' DECISION Last week Friday and Saturday the Cleveland Daily News and the Daily Leader, Negro-hatting sheets, published with very attractive headlines an As- sociated Press dispatch from the east stating that the Connecticut supreme court had just rendered a decision to the effect that barber shops were not public places of business in the usually accepted or legal sense, and as a consequence proprietors could refuse Negroes if they wished. The Leader and the News were not only anxious to thoroughly circulate this information in Cleveland among their southern-sympathizing and prejudiced kind and others, but are also evidently anxious to encourage if possible such decisions in our local courts if not in the higher state tribunals. In this latter at least, they are doomed to disappointment because the Ohio supreme court has several times in recent years adjudged constitutional the Ohio Civil Rights' law which the writer secured the enactment of in 1894, and which specifically names barber shops, thetheats and restaurants and includes all other public places of business and entertainment. etc. Therefore the Connecticut supreme court decision as to the right of proprietors of barber shops in that state to refuse to accommodate Afro-Americans, has absolutely no relation to, nor will it have any influence what ever upon the existing condition of affairs along a citizens' rights' line in Ohio. It begins to look as if both papers mentioned have adopted another method of injuring our people of this community. They have almost ceased using the derisive, mongrel and insulting southern Negrohating terms so bitterly complained of and seem to be trying in an indirect way to do the same thing—lower Afro-Americans all possible in the estimation of their readers. Mean, dirty, low and cowardly business, to say the least. It's like stabbing a defenseless person in the back after nightfall. Don't patronize the News and the Leader while they continue the dirty work, even if black traitors do urge you to do so because they can get a few dollars for their most reprehensible course. "TAXATION OF LYNCHING." In a recent issue of the Pittsburgh Daily Post there appeared an editorial on the "Taxation of Lynching" in which reference was made to an alleged anti-lynching law in South Carolina enacted in 1896 which fixed the minimum damages to be assessed against a county where a lynching had taken place at $2,000, and in which reference was made to the deterrent effect of such a law. In that same year, when a member of the Ohio legislature, the writer secured the passage of a bill of which the South Carolina law referred to, is in part a copy. The Ohio anti-lynching law places the maximum penalty at $5,000 and provides lesser sums as damages for injury by the mob, serious injury, etc. Our Ohio law as a bill was first introduced by the writer in 1894, but failed of passage for a number of reasons. The cause of its introduction at that time was more lynchings and mob violence attempts in 1893 alone than have taken place in the 11 years following 1896, the year of the enactment of the Ohio anti-lynching law. The first of the three Ohio lynchings in the last 11 years was encouraged and occurred when the alleged unconstitutionality of the law was being heralded throughout the state by those opposed to it. There have been but two since. The first one at Urbana, O, cost Champaign county more than $12,000 in damages and cost of litigation, the maximum penalty of $5,000 paid to the "Cluck" Mitchell heirs being a part of this sum. About three years ago in the same town, in spite of the fact that an Afro-American was charged with a most aggravating case of criminal assault, there was no attempt at lynching and the man was given a fair trial and acquitted without any mob demonstration whatever. The two other lynchings cases were promoted by the police and winked at by the officials of Springfield, Clark county. O. Without the Ohio anti-lynching law there would have been many others. One is justified in this belief, because of the large number of lynchings and mob violence attempts in this state just preceding the enactment of the law, in any one of the few years preceding 1894 and 1896. The West Liberty mob violence attempt of several years ago which resulted in the "ducking" in a pond in November, of three persons, two Afro-Americans and the daughter-in-law (white) of one of them, cost Logan county, this state, $2,700 in damages and the costs of the settlements, under the Ohio mob violence or anti-lynching law. It cost this (Cuyahoga) county about $2,500 a few years ago to settle with a couple of white persons injured by a mob during a strike. And there are other cases. There is no question in this state upon the part of those who are at all familiar with the facts as to the potency and effectiveness of Ohio's mob violence law. It has splendid deterrent effect! Legislation making the county responsible for lynchings and mob violence demonstrations is the very best known to date. This the result of practical experience under such law, and we trust the Post and every other law abiding publication will encourage the enactment of such statutes by the states of the country, as Ohio is in possession of.

The following rot is from the News, Charles A. Otis, jr., publisher: "The white race is going to dominate this country so long as it is strong enough, and when it is not strong enough, the Negro race is going to dominate." declares Thomas Nelson Page in McClure's for March. He draws some notable conclusions on the present status of the race question. "The white race is superior to the Negro race, not accidentally and because of superior training, but inherently and fundamentally. "One of the most important agencies in engendering the strife is the idea on the part of the Negro that he is sustained against the whites of the south by the whites of the north. He mistakes the sympathy of the north in its determination to give him practical aid in achieving what he has been taught to believe are his rights, social and political; that is, in establishing the proposition that he is as good as any white man. "What the Negro understands by 'social equality' is for the most part one thing only—the right to stand with white women on precisely the same ground as white men now stand with them. "Editorials assailing the south whenever a lynching occurs are copied into Negro papers and circulated among thousands of Negro families. They stir up race hatred and extend race strife. The north cannot be expected to endorse lynching, but it can be dealt with in some other than the cocksure and ignorant way it is usually dealt with. As it is, the Negro is mislead to believe that the northern white will interfere and help him put down the southern white. It was done 40 years ago. "The wide difference between the northern and southern viewpoint is this: the northerners espouse the cause of the Negro as a race and hate him individually; the southerners do not dislike Negroes individually, but oppose them as a race. There is quite as much violence directed against the Negro in the north as in the south, but that is not taken into account. The brunt of censure falls upon the south." Dr. Booker T. Washington Praised. Montgomery, Ala.—The fact that Bocker T. Washington spent $5,000 for the entertainment of President Roosevelt last summer seems the only thing to criticise as a result of the examination. The *Roosevelt insistence* by the legislature. The *Roosevelt insistence* is said to be much to the credit of Mr. Washington¹. He is reported to have made good use of the money that has come into his hands and to have gotten the best results from its use. The bookkeeping is praised and the accounts reported to be simple and accurate. The report has not yet been made public. The legislature has a bill in committee that seems hardly likely to get out, as the body has adjourned to the "middle of July"; it seeks to depose the institute of the exemption from the tax joy. Some good men of the state among them Capt. P. S. White, friend and legal adviser of the governor have fought the bill long and hard and it is thought that it has been laid away for good. What the L. L. U. Is. Dayton, O.—The annual report of the International Laborers' union, headquarters here, and subordinate lodges in other cities, shows that the I. L. U. Grand lodge was formed five years ago at a delegate convention in Chicago, mainly because of the race and craft discrimination of white labor unions. It has maintained an independent stand, with an international organization of the courts, has fought old established unions, has criminated unfairly, and as a result the I. L. U. order has grown strong and prospered. It has secured better conditions for thousands of Afro-Americans, getting less hours of toil and increased wages. This organization takes care of its sick and distressed and pays $100 to bury each deceased member. It has 403 lodges, and its members, is in excellent financial condition, increasing in strength every month. There is no other society of this nature in existence. Get a Big Appropriation Washington, D. C.—Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury, appeared before the ways and means committees of the Kansas house and senate to urge a larger apportionation for Western university at Quindaro, of which he is president, on leave of absence, and was successful in getting a much larger apportionation than has ever before been granted the institution. For a central heating, electric plant and additional industries the legislature appropriated $21,950. For additional teachers and maintenance for the institution for the fiscal year ending 1908, $17,700. For the fiscal year ending 1909, $16,200. February 12 Register Vernon spoke before the Lincoln Day club, of which he is the president—the club meeting in the house of representatives at Topeka, Kan., and the meeting being attended by the most prominent men of the state. Mr. L. A. Stewart Dead Youngstown, O.—Mr. Lenael A. Stewart, possibly our oldest and most highly esteemed resident, died the past week.

Stewart, of this city. Mr. Stewart came here many years ago from Pennsylvania and for a long time was a leading mechanic and contractor. He was a man of exceptional intelligence and ability, lovable and popular, though not always well known. Hosts of friends and acquaintances throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania are mourning his demise and extending heartfelt sympathy to the greatly be-ereaved widow and family. Reuben S. Smith, Eag.. Dead. Washington, D. C. -Renben S. Smith, after a lingering sickness covering some years, died at his home here recently. Mr. Smith was born at Marianna, Fla., went to Howard university in 1872 and worked his way through the college department. He took up law, and while his health lasted was in successful practice and exercised much good influence in church and literary circles in Washington. For years a number of years ago Mr. Smith was the successful Washington correspondent of The Gazette. He was a man of splendid parts, of large heart, and of great public spirit. He leaves a wife and several children. $10,000 Worth of Machinery for the New Lean Sofa Bed Co. S. C.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—Swept with terrific force by the swollen current against the pier at Lock No. 3 last night, the towboat Cruiser, owned by the Monongahek River Consolidated Coal and Coke Co., was wrecked and sunk, sending two of her crew to death. Two others were rescued, exhausted and almost frozen, a mile below the scene of the accident after they had been in the water an hour. Three of the crew clinging to the bow of the submerged boat, were saved after a hard fight with the heavy ice which fills the stream. The Cruiser, with a crew of 13 men in command of Capt. H. Sweeney, left here with a tow of 12 barges of coal in a dense fog early Wednesday. A mishap owing to high water was narrowly missed at the Davis Island dam, the towboat almost striking the pier while going through the lock, it being next to impossible to see the lights of the lock on account of the thick fog, Capt. Sweeney decided it would be hazardous to go further in the fog and tied up at the dam. When daylight came the Cruiser left the dam and imminently swept down stream by the rising water. These were picked up about noon by the towboat Valliant near Sewickle. Last night just after the crew had eaten supper the Cruiser started for Lock No. 3 at Glen Osborne, 20 miles west of here. Before the lock could be reached, however, the boat was caught by the swift current and dashed against the pier. A large hole was knocked in the boat's side and she began to sink. Yawls were cut loose and the crew started for shore. The river running behind the boat filled the yawls was overturned, drowning two occupants. The drowned men were foreigners and their names are unknown. WILL AFFECT 42,000 MEN. New Wage Scale for Letter Carriers and Postoffice Clerks Will Go Into Effect on July 1. Washington, D. C.—First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock has made a compilation showing how many letter carriers and clerks in postoffice will be affected by the increased pay recently provided for them by Congress. The additional pay will begin on July 1 next, the beginning of the new fiscal year. The total number of clerks promoted at that time or as soon after as they shall have completed a year's service in the grades in which they are now serving will be 19,900. Of these 258 will be advanced from a salary of $100 to a salary of $600; 833 from $500 to $600; 3,834 from $600 to $800; 4,026 from $700 to $800; 4,957 from $800 to $900; 4,473 from $900 to $1,000, and 2,381 from $1,000 to $1,100. The letter carriers, many of whom are employed by the mum salary provided for law, will be promoted in the same way. The increase will affect 24,227 carriers throughout the country. Of the number 1,810 will be promoted from $600 to $800; $835 from $850 to $900; 1,073 from $900 to $1,000, and 1,250 from $1,000 to $1,100. The increase in the aggregate will amount to nearly $4,500,000 a year. BIG DAY FOR WALL STREET BEARS Values of Some Railroad Stocks Dropped Ten Points Wednesday. New York. — The most sensational decline in prices for several years occurred on the stock market Wednesday. Except that money rates were higher and that the tone of the foreign exchanges was unfavorable, there was no news to account for the break in prices. The market opened weak under the influence of lower prices for Americans abroad and the drop in consols to the lowest price since 1886. At first the downward movement was gradual and the selling did not appear to be of an urgent character, but as soon as the rate for call money got above 6 per cent, heavy blocks of the money without regard to price, and the downward trend of quotations became precipitate. Breaks of from half to a point between sales were frequent and the buying power was so limited that it seemed to be difficult in some of the weaker features to execute selling orders. It was noticed that weakness centered in Reading, the Harriman railroads, and the Hill properties, some of these stocks falling ten points. Three Trainmen Drowned. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Three men drowned, a railroad bridge washed away and an engine and five freight cars in the water are the first results of a rapid rise of Deer creek, near Harmonville, Pa., on the West Penn railroad.

AS TO INTERMARRIAGE Congress Came Near Passing a Fool Bill--The South "in the Saddle." New York City--Relative to the bill to prohibit the intermarriage of whites and blacks in the District of Columbia, which came near passing the lower house of congress during its recent closing hours and, too, on the recommendation of a house committee the majority of the members of which are republicans. The Age recently well said: "This question of the right to marry and give in marriage is, at the bottom, the whole life of the citizenship of the republic. The Afro-American who says he does not desire social equality is an unmitigated fool or an outrageous blackguard, who sacrifices what he should know to be a primal right to a subservient purpose. It is true that the marriage right is in the nature of a social privilege with which the state ordinarily has no concern, but to protect itself, it has assumed the right to say that persons shall be legally married, but not who shall be legally married, that being left to the personal choice of the parties concerned, except in the southern states, where the assumption has become a shameful presumption of racial arrogance. "The white people of the south, who have done more promiscuous illicit courting of blood than any like number of people on the face of the globe, and who are the only people in history who ever sold their children to pay their gambling debts, insist by law and word of mouth that there shall be no legal union of the races, while every man with his eyes open knows that promiscuous intercourse of the races in the southern states is one of the most scandalous things in the history of the republic. When it reaches the point where the federal government sanctions the legality of concubinage and bastardy in the District of Columbia, there fore, sanctions it in those states where separate marriage laws are maintained, it will be high time for thoughtful Afro-Americans to hunt for a country where such barbarity does not obtain."

"There is one feeling I sure would like to have before I die," said the thoughtful young man as he looked up from the magazine story he was reading. "And what is that?" asked his companion, who sat looking out of the club window. "I should like to feel a 'berserk rage,' whatever that is, that all these novel heroes have when things go wrong with the heroine. But perhaps, he sighed dreadly, "I shouldn't know it if I had it. I might think it was hives, or indigestion, or epilepsy coming over me. It's an awful thing not to have an education."—Judge. GENERAL BREAKDOWN A Condition Which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the Great Blood Tonic, Have Been Curing for Years. There is no more perplexing trouble for a physician to treat than debility cases, especially in women, in which there is no acute disease but in which the patient every day sinks lower and lower despite changes of medicine and similar experience. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will restore health under these conditions is no speculation but the fact has been proved in hundreds of cases similar to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of 1008 St. John St., Litchfield, Ill. She says. "I never felt well after my first child was born. I had a gawning pain in my stomach and could not hold any food down. My head ached a great deal and sometimes the pain went all through my body. I had dizzy spells to be half blinded to be half blinded with pain. These spells would often last for over an hour. My blood seemed to be in a very poor condition and my hands and feet were like ice. I seemed to be growing weaker and weaker and could not get around to do my work in the kitchen, especially nervous and the least excitement would bring on a dizzy spell. "For a number of years I was under a doctor's care but seemed to get no better. I had heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began to take them. I soon felt better and gained strength. My nerves are strong and I am a well woman in every way." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Wisdom and Advice Delivered by Francis Bacon. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and conflute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are, like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man; and, therefore, if a man write little, he had need of a great memory; if he confer little, he had need of a present witt; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he doth not—Francis Bacon. A. Merry Suggestion. "Do you think that government ownership of railways will ever come to pass?"

Coleman, a prominent merchant of Swainsboro, Ga. says: "For several years my kidneys were affected, and my back ached day and night. I was languld, nervous and lame in the morning. Doan's Kidney Pills helped me right away, and the great relief that followed has been permanent." Matrimonial Infelicity. Divorces are, happily, rare in society circles. Separation by mutual consent, however, grows more frequent every year. Every one has upon his or her visiting list husbands and wives who never meet if they can help it, but between whom there has never been an open breach. Incompatibility of temper is the usual cause, and the reason for that, is one imagines, the still common custom of encouraging the younger generation to marry before they have begun to approach years of discretion.—London Throne. CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cutieura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cutieura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly; but it did her a sight of good. Then we complied with the instructions in using the entire set of Cutieura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cutieura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. God bless you for the sake of suffering humanity. I. M.

He finds that this regime gives unusual clarity to his mind. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured Indian's Answer a Real Triumph of Quiet Sarcasm. George Vaux, Jr., of Philadelphia, has been appointed a member of the board of Indian commissioners. Mr. Vaux told a reporter the other day an Indian story. "There was a certain commissioner," he said, "who treated the Indians with rude scorn. One day a chief entertained this man in his tepee, telling him over the tobacco many quaint legends. "One legend concerned a plague of grasshoppers. The chief told eloquently how grasshoppers overran the land, eating the grain, and how the medicine men averted a famine by offering a silver grasshopper to the Great Spirit, whereupon all that deluge of grasshoppers disappeared. "But the commissioner scoffed at the tale. "Are you Indians such fools," he said, "as to believe such rubbish?" "O, no,' said the chief, gravely, 'or we'd long ago have offered the Great Spirit a silver pale face.'"—Milwaukee Sentinel. He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.—Bacon. THE WHOLE FAMILY. Mother Finds a Food for Grown-Ups and Children as Well. Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children as well as the older members of the family, makes a pleasant household commodity. Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not only agrees with and builds up children, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, have become dyspeptic. A Phila. lady, after being benefited herself persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: "About eight years ago I had a severe attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on, I had to be careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me, seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heavier than I ever was." "My husband was also in a bad condition—his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything with comfort. I got him to try Grape-nuts, and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared. "My girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old, do not want anything else for breakfast but Grape-Nuts, and more healthy children cannot be found." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

When Bishop Talbot, now of the central Pennsylvania diocese, was "the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and Wyoming he never overlooked an opportunity of securing contributions for the missionary work in which he took such delight. On one occasion, while attending a meeting of church dignitaries in St. Paul, he was chatting with some other clergymen on the steps of his hotel when several hoboes came along. One of them approached and asked for aid. Bishop Talbot took him aside and after a short but earnest conversation the other trumpons saw something pass from hand to hand. "What did he give you?" asked the other hoboes when they all started away. "Didn't give me nothing." was the disgusted reply. "I gave him a dollar for his blamed new cathedral in Laramie." A DANGEROUS CASE. Medicine. In 1886 W. J. Bilyou, of Hyde Park, N. Y., was cured permanently of rheumatism and billiousness by Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. His case was a severe and dangerous one. He said at that time: "Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has no equal." Now, in 1906 (20 years after), Mr. Bilyou says: "My health is good. My best wishes for Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy." Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy makes permanent cure. Wonderfully successful for over 10 years. BOTTLE FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE.
