THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 34. WHAT WELL-DRESSED WOMEN WEAR THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD Even one loss trained in the habit of observing could see at a glance that the dress which bears a short waisted bodice is the favorite of the moment, and that it looks its beet made of some flowered chiffon or lace mounted over gauze or silver tissue or chiffon of contrasting shades. An excellent example which we saw the other day was of white elaborately flowered, bordered with black and mounted over rose pink, the short bodice bearing a berta berna tied with black velvet ribbons, the long narrow skirt being elaborately frilled with shades of the pink chiffon just visible below the black border. The exceptions to the rule of the diaphanous dresses of this short-waisted description were mostly velvet, tightly fitting with plain skirts and a decolletage border with a few folds of tulle. I saw no less than three frocks on these lines, one in black, another in brown, and a third in sapphire blue, the black being perhaps the most successful, and it was worn by a very fair young matron, in whose hair were twisted a few folds of black chiffon. The same drawbait ten down to the their beaver or w must be fine, and only droop in the are of superlative are not advocating gances, because I am to keep clear of the prodigality, which me; I am merely these things are, and be if they are to be designed for them be As to the gowns s illustration in No see an example of f and the wide square, ubiquitous, these Irish lace together across the front, w a narrow vest of w again a tight-fitting band of fine lace, the immediate mom mend it in mulberry the early springtime might be expected a lavender blue or a of biscuit, which t And writing of hair reminds me once more to impress upon your minds that the outline of the coifure a la mode is totally different from what it was last year. Now it is flat on the top, and brushed in soft loose waves across over the top of the ears; any decoration following the same line, setting backwards and not upwards. I know I have written this before, even as I am conscious that I shall write it again, but it is an important circumstance, and it is essential that you consider it, you who would be in the movement of fashion. Not alone in the evening time is this method of dressing the hair popular but in the daytime, when it is crowned by hats which overshadow the brow, and bear plums drooping downwards at the back. The general effect of contour makes for grace in combination with the long coats or short-waisted bodices and narrow long skirts. Slender and loose and straight and easeful; these are the points which characterize the most up-to-date gowns, and no bad points either, since undoubtedly while making for elegance they press home the plea of comfort. But, and there is always a but, they insist for their best achievement upon the help of the finest materials. Cloth dresses, if unlined, must be made of the best cloth, loose bodices if trimmed with lace or embroidery call aloud for fine lace and good embroidery, and always such gowns have their best triumphs with the lace or trimming, of whatever kind, in white or cream color; while the under-sleeves should match these light decorations at the neck, and such equipments must be absolutely fresh to be at all charming. FRUIT GROWN UNDER GLASS. "The grape of grapes for the table is grown in Belgium, and under glass," says the London Globe. "It is in no Arcadian rustic spot that this ideal culture flourishes, but in the wide-awake metropolitan suburb of Hoe laert, near Brussels. Here there is a whole region of glass—nothing but glass over a wide vista. The spectacle is one of the shows of the country, for The same drawback must be written down to the credit of the hats, their beaver or velvet foundation must be fine, and their feathers can only droop in the right way if they are of superlative quality. Mind, I am not advocating these extravagances, because I am always anxious to keep clear of the accusation of prodigality, which I know pursues me; I am merely mentioning that these things are, and how they must be if they are to achieve the results designed for them by their pioneers. As to the gowns shown in our large illustration in No. 1 you will see an example of the Princess dress and the wide square sleeves which are ubiquitous, these being made of thick Irish lace together with the belt across the front, while above peeps a narrow face of velvet, and above again a tight-fitting yoke and collarband of fine lace. As a costume for the immediate moment I would commend it in mulberry cloth, while for the early springtime good results might be expected and arrived at in lavender blue or a deep warm shade of biscuit, which the authorities rechristen yearly, "banana," "the inner busk of the chestnut," or "almond," being amongst its popular names. The other picture represents a dress made of that very thin ninon which hangs like chiffon and wears better. In a dull shade of green it has as a sole ornament monster tucks, while round the waist is a belt of dull gold galon, the cream face yoke being laid over gold tissue. This style is worth the attention of the home dressmaker, for it is easy to produce, and most inexpensive in its demand for those etes, which have a habit of mounting up formidable heights, and rendering the efforts of the thrifty difficult when the results desired are to be supremely successful. A charming gown of purple cloth is shown in our single column illustration. The shirt is quite untrimmed and hangs in soft rather full folds, just touching the ground all around. The draped bodice has soft revers of satin, caught in by little tabs and amethyst buttons, while big amethyst buttons rimmed round with silver will look charming on the Parma mauve waistcoat. The chemisette introduces the soft touch of filmy lace which is a becoming feature of practically every gown nowadays. Just a touch of lace can also be had in the form of a little inner cuff, or ruffle, to relieve the short puffed sleeves. Longevity Aids. A 91-year-old woman attributes her longevity to meat eating.

A Part of the Cost to Get Witnesses —The Gray "Confession" a Fake—Tomayo's Strong Testimony. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—On last week Tuesday, Capt. D. W. Kilburn, of the Twenty-sixth infantry (white), which preceded our soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Ft. Brown, Tex., among other things testified before the senate committee on military affairs that citizens of Brownsville publicly made threats within his hearing, that they "would run our troops out of the town" if they were brought to Ft. Brown to supplant white troops, and on this point he was corroborated by Leut. Edwin Thompson, who was quartermaster of the Twenty-sixth infantry. His testimony also showed that citizens taken from the walls of houses in Brownsville had not have been fired by rifles in the hands of our troops. He also told of hearing talk of plans to organize a pose to prevent our troops from getting off the train upon their arrival at Ft. Brown, and to raise money to send a delegation to Washington to protest against the sending of them there. The witness said that all this talk was induced by hostility to Afro-Ameri- Americans, and of much the population of Brownsville who Mexicans of a low grade of intelligence who considered soldiers legitimate prey and made trouble for them whenever they were caught in the town of singly. Also that it was surface the Mexican citizens to carry sidearms and rifles through the streets and that shooting at night was so common that little attention was paid to this at the fort. He said that the police force of the town, while he was there, consisted of ten men, nine of whom were Mexicans who could not speak, read or write English, and that their methods of making arrests were to beat soldiers over the head with the butts of their revolvers and to take them to the station. This caused much ill feeling between the people and the authorities of the fort, and the men who had been shot a number of times could not be cleaned in less than 45 minutes to stand rigid inspection, and that it took 10 to 12 minutes to clean the barrel and chamber. Capt. Kilburn said that he would hate to try to clean a rifle in the dark and then "go up against inspection." On Wednesday Rowland Osborne (white), post quartermaster sergeant at Ft. Brown during its occupancy by both the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-fifth infantries, said the former left behind many suits of cast-off khaki uniform, shells, cartridges and bandoliers lying about loose in store houses and the barracks when transferred from Ft. Brown to make room for our regiment. His recollection was that all of the ammunition he saw at Ft. Brown after the departure of the company, the company of Kofi Jorgensen jersey. He could not state positively that there were about ten suits of khaki left by each of the three companies (white) of the Twenty-sixth. At the afternoon session Capt. B. J. Edgar, Jr., assistant surgeon at Ft. Brown with the Twenty-sixth infantry until July 5, 1906, and who returned to the fort August 21, a week after the Brownville riot, told of the hostility to the troops and of attending injured soldiers who had been attacked by people of the town, thereby corroborating Capt. Kilburn and Leunt Thompson's testimony of the duty of the company, Lt. Thompson, of the Brownville police who were of the Brownville police were change e1 from blue to khaki cloth in 1906 and that from a distance would be difficult to tell a policeman from a soldier. In executive session the committee had a lively discussion over calling Secretary Taft as a witness. This was suggested by Senator Foraker because of Taft's activity in an effort to convict the soldiers of "shooting up" the town of Brownville and thus sustaining the president's stand. Taft had sent samples of the cartridges and shells to the ordnance department for expert examination and explanation as to whether they had been fired in a certain type of weapon, what fire them would be possible to fire them in, and formation relative to their use. It was decided not to call the secretary, but agreed that Senator Foraker should be permitted to bring before the committee such information as he was able regarding the examination of the cartridges by officers of the ordnance department. On Thursday Nelson Huron, a sergeant; Otis C. West and John E. Rimmel, a private and cook, respectively, of the Twenty-sixth infantry, testified to the hostility of the people of Brownsville to soldiers, and their threats against our soldiers when they should arrive at Ft. Brown. Huron sware that government ammunition was sold at a saloon (white) in Brownsville and that they testified Mexican boys picked up munition which they said they were going to sell them to shoot our soldiers with policeman Fernandez, of Brownsville. GAZETTE. told Huron before his departure from Ft. Brown that if there was trouble our soldiers would not start it, saying positively: "Well, we don't want them, and if they come, I want to kill a couple of them." Huron told of several incidences of police officers' cruelty to soldiers, and said it took half a hour to clean a rifle for inspection that had been fired. He did not think it possible to clean the rifles in the dark or in the barracks. Also that it was possible for soldiers to sell cartridges at a certain saloon in Brownville. West, who was doing extra duty as a teamster and was left behind when the Twenty-sixth left Brownville, was one of the men assigned to clean up the barracks. He testified that he saw uniforms and markers on the back porches of the barracks and had seen a hindrance rumaged, through these plies. When he was driving into the gate of the reservation one day, he met a Mexican boy about 12 years old with a hat partially filled with cartridges which he had secured in the barracks. West said he asked the boy what he was going to do with them. The reply was: "I am going to take them down town and sell them to shoot n—s with."

Dabney Publishing Co. (F) 420 McAllister street, Cincinnati, N --- A. B. What a Teacher in Our Schools at the Nation's Capital Thinks of It and Congressman Burton. Washington, D. C.—Notwithstanding the apparent growing opposition to our people's advancement in almost every section of the country, it is gratifying to realize that In Ohio it is greatly modified and restrained as a result of the influence of such great and good men as Senators Foraker and Dick and the Hon. T. E. Burton, of Cleveland, all of whom are true (only) loyal civilians and destitute the republican party. I wish to congratulate you upon your manly championship of these men and the principles they so fearlessly represent. I write particularly to inform you of the generous attitude of Mr. Burton with reference to the advancement of Mr. Harry West, who, through his influence, holds an important place with the rivers and harbors committees, of which Mr. Burton is chairman. Mr. Burton places absolute trust in this young man. In addition to having charge of Mr. Burton's personal and official mail, Mr. West is the exclusive custodian of all bills, resolutions and petitions referred to the committee, and performs other services of a clerical character. In recognition of giving tangible expression to a very proper appreciation of the faithful and efficient services of the young man, Mr. Burton recently made the following statement to the appropriations committee of the house of representatives: "Mr. Chairman, I would like to offer a recommendation for better compensation for Harry West, and in accordance with the unanimous request of the members of the rivers and harbors committee. As a reward for very faithful services, I ask that his salary be advanced to a thousand dollars. I think that if an employee about this building, whether janitor, messenger or clerk, earns a thousand dollars, this man does. He stays here until half-past six o'clock in the evening, and performs the duties of a clerk and those along other lines. If it were not for his efficient services, another clerk would be required during the session." My observation of Mr. Burton's methods as a legislator leads me to believe that they are characterized by absolutely clean dealing in both public and private life. He shows wonderful mental capacity and an abhorrence of chicanery and deceit, and he is a master in the science of statecraft. He certainly appears to me to be a man of peace, and regards war justifiable only as a means of defense. In the discussion of an increase in the navy, he deplores the manifest spirit of war as an expression of brute force, and claims it tends to unsettle the foundations of correct republican government. All Clevelanders will be shown how the war does for days and days, and in the against some of the most able and experienced parliamentarians of the house of representatives to procure for that city a postoffice of granite instead of sandstone. He believes in the conservation of amicable relations between this nation and the great powers, not so much by increased armamentation as by setting the example of moderation, even under the most trying circumstances, by referring all questions of the selected character to a wisely selected court of nations. I read his speech delivered on the occasion of the graduation exercises of the law department of Howard university, not long since, on which occasion President Roosevelt also spoke. Mr. Burton's speech was clear, concise, eloquent and marvelous by the absence of any direct reference to the war. He was speaking to an Afro-American audience. Yet so clearly did he enumerate and defend the doctrine of rights and the brotherhood of man, that no one who heard him doubted his heart was warm and true, and that he was ever ready and willing to recognize and reward merit, whether the possessor bore the resemblance to marble, ebony or bronze. I have not the pleasure of knowing Mr. Burton personally, but my observation of his career while here in Washington, and in view of his efforts in the behalf of Mr. West, leads me to believe that our people of Cleveland have good cause to be proud of their distinguished representative in congress. Hoping that The Gazette may continue in its many course for the betterment of the race. I am yours. Graves a Bitter Enemy. Atlanta, Ga.—John Temple Graves, editor of the Daily Georgian, was assaulted on the street last week Tuesday by J. H. Crutchfield, (white) who approached him from behind and knocked him down.

Senator Foraker is desirous that all the "discharged without honor" soldiers who want a hearing in their own defence at the senate investigation have the opportunity. As some of these men may not know of this opportunity or may not understand that their expenses to and from Washingtoon are there, to testify and that they will meet friends there who will inform them thoroughly as to their duties, it will help the cause very much; therefore, every friend of the soldiers will please send their addresses to Senator J. B. Foraker, Washington, D. C. President Roosevelt did not orignate or regard with favor the effort to use Ralph W. Tyler or any other renegade Ohio republican Negro "as an instrument of revenge" on Senators Foraker and Dlek by appointing him to a prominent Ohio federal office, and therefore 'a not obligated to give him or any of the others referred to, a position above or "below the dignity of the one for which he or they were originally mentioned." Furthermore there is nothing in the entire newspaper discussion of the matter which would justify the Afro-Americans of the Hon. Nicholas Longworth's district in ever opposing his re-election to congress or any other office he may seek. The West Virginia legislature which addured a few days ago did practically nothing but pass a two cent rate bill for the railroads of the state and listen to speeches by democrats scoring our people, that were most virilio. The notable exception among the latter was Senator A. B. Littlepage, the leader of the democratic forces in the upper branch of that state's assembly and a minority member of the senate finance committee. Strange as it may seem, yet nevertheless true, he championed the cause of our institutions in West Virginia and actually secured increased appropriations for them. Our friend "Col." Phil Waters, an ardent admirer of the senator, writes us that some of his speeches in executive session were very "Forakeresque," which certainly means a great deal. Certainly Littlepage spoke and voted against a disfranchisement resolution, and in other matters evidenced a practical interest in and friendship for our people that is as pleasing as it is exceptional in the ranks of democracy in this day and time. That fact that he is a celebrated attorney and the leader of the bar of Charleston, largely explains to us his most commendable action. As a native West Virginian we are proud of him and know that our people of that state fully appreciate his efforts in their behalf. "Col." Phil writes us that Senator Littlepage has been a friend of every Afro-American professional man who has settled in Charleston. Good! PEONAGE AND THE CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM. Washington, D. C., dispatches evidently inspired at the White House, to daily newspapers of the country last week stated that President Roosevelt, in an effort to stamp out peonage, the new form of slavery, was advising with the department of justice concerning the best method of using the federal power against those responsible for terrible conditions revealed in the reports of the United States grand juries and government officials in several southern states. The scarcity of labor in that section because of lynching and the miserable treatment accorded our people there generally, combined with the industrial, commercial and agricultural growth of the section, are responsible for the hellish system. The peonage victims are first involved in heavy indebtedness to their "employers" through over-charges for transportation to the places of their employment and for food and lodging furnished in advance, and are then prevented from leaving through the operation of state laws preventing creditors from dodging their debts. The gravest abuses have grown up in this manner, and, in Florida in particular, many indictments have been returned against interests charged with violating the statutes prohibiting the holding of human chatties. The dispatches say that though the president realizes that he risks criticism for exarving the power of the central government in cases where the states are disposed to claim, jurisdiction, he believes he is justified in interfering and will inaugure a vigorous campaign without loss of time. The government has in recent years done very well in its effort to break up the south's hellish peonage system, and ought also attack that other southern "cancer," the convict lease system. BEREA COLLEGE Under President William Goodell Frost, Berea college, Kentucky, had more Afro-American students than white. Later on the attendance was equally divided. When the legislature of that state passed a law prohibiting the co-education of whites and Afro-Americans, there were 700 of the former and 200 of the latter studying in the institution. Those who profess to know claim that President Frost had gradually brought about this change in the attendance of the two classes of students. After the law referred to went into effect, the trustees of the college set aside enough money out of the institution's income to send 100 Afro-American students to other schools in the south. The other one-half of our Berea students were set adrift to shift for themselves. The 700 white scholars and additional ones are still being provided for at Berea college. This in spite of the fact that the institution when on the down-grade years ago was at least rehabilitated by northern philanthropists who had in view primarily the education of Afro-Americans. All this and more, President Frost frankly admits in a recent communication to the New York Evening Post, although he claims Berea college was founded in 1855 for the education of the whites. It was ten years later that Afro-Americans were admitted on equal terms, and continued to attend the institution for nearly 40 years. It does seem to us as to very many others, in view of the fact that the Afro-Americans of Kentucky, and every other southern state are so greatly in need of educational facilities like those provided at Berea college, that President Frost and the trustees of the institution should have retained the Afro-American pupils when forced to discontinue the co-education of the two classes and permitted the white students of the institution to attend school elsewhere, because the latter have far more and better educational institutions open to them, and because they are far better able to put up with the inconveniences, etc., that result from such action. None of them would have been left without some provision, whereas one-half of the Afro-American students have been, according to President Frost's statement. The unfair and unjust treatment accorded Berea Afro-American students is most manifest, and it is high time our people of Kentucky were resenting it in an aggressive yet respectful way. These facts should be placed in the hands of every friend of the institution and at once. Former Members Greeted Him! Cadiz, O.-Mr. Sherman Cooper and family will locate here.-W. H. Lucas, R. F.

HOME AND FOREIGN ITEMS Information Gathered from All Quar- ters of the Civilized World and Prepared for the Perusal of the Busy Man. RESUME OF THAW TRIAL In the Thaw trial the case for the people was closed by the introduction of the Hummel affidavit, in which Evelyn Nesbitt accused Thaw of repeatedly stripping and lashing her brutally when they were in Europe together. According to Hummel, Miss Nesbitt also swore she would not sign statements which Thaw had prepared accusing Stanford White of having drugged and ruined her. With Attorney Delmas fighting every inch of the way, District Attorney Jerome secured from Abraham Hummel his complete story as to the affidavit which it is alleged Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw made in the lawyer's office in 1933, charging Harry K. Thaw with beating her when she told him that the statement that Stanford White had drugged and ruined her was not true. A schoolmate of Harry K. Thaw's in Wooster (O.) University has made a statement denying the stories of Thaw's wild life in that institution. Reports that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has collapsed and that Abe Hummel faces prosecution for perjury as a result of his testimony about the affidavit accusing Harry Thaw of cruelty toward Evelyn, were prevalent.

At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kidneys, or weakness and Urinary trouble, the following simple prescription should be used: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Any good prescription pharmacy will supply these three ingredients at small cost, which can easily be mixed by shaking well in a bottle.

Mrs. Kate Keem, 513 West 29th St. New York, 'N. Y., Nov 1, 5 and 7, 1906." THE ARTISTIC WALL. One of Solid Color Will Always Give Best Effect. The dearest, daintiest, most artistic wall is a solid colored wall. It furnishes a perfect background for all kinds of pictures, it throws them out in their correct proportions, and does not detract from their artistic value. The solid colored wall is also much better as a background for furniture, and harmonizes much more artistically with carpets and rugs than any other method of wall treatment. The less breaking up of color on a wall the more artistic it is. The most successful form of the solid colored wall is an alabastened wall. There is as much difference between tinted walls, as there is between shoddy and all-wool gowns. The shoddy gown holds its color for a few days, while the all-wool keeps its color to the very last thread, so also in solid colored walls, there are shoddy walls and permanently colored walls which retain their color down to the very last particle. The ideal wall coating never rubs off, never flakes nor chips off and is always ready for a fresh coat. If there is wallpaper on the wall, soak it off with warm water, then go over the plaster after you have removed the paper with warm water to remove every trace of paste. Have the wall thoroughly clean for a clean wall cannot be built on an unclean foundation. If there are any particles of foreign matter adhering to the wall scrape them off with a putty knife. If there are any discolorations on the wall, size it with a material made from cheap varnish, thinned down with benzine and japan added for a drier, then cover your wall with your tinting material. Be sure your man uses a tinting material mixed with cold water. If he comes to you and asks for warm water, you can make up your mind that there is glue in the material which he proposes to put on your wall, and you can be certain that you are going to have a shoddy wall, for glue means shoddy. Glue means that it will hold its color long enough for the man to collect his bill and not much longer. Insist on your tinting material being mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure that your wall is made from pure materials, then you will have a permanent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall that will be a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." FOOLED THE PREACHER. A Doctor's Brother Thought Postum Was Coffee. A wise doctor found out coffee was hurting him, so he quit drinking it. He was so busy with his practice, however, that his wife had to write how he fooled his brother, a clergyman, one day at dinner. She says: "Doctor found coffee was injuring him and decided to give Postum a trial, and we have used it now for four years, with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long train of ills that follow coffee drinking. "To show how successful we are in making Postum properly I will relate an incident. At a dinner we gave, Doctor suggested we serve Postum instead of ordinary coffee. "Doctor's brother, a Clergyman, supposed it was old fashioned coffee and remarked, as he called for his second cup: 'If you do preach against coffee, I see you haven't forgotten how to make it.' This goes to show that well-made—fully boiled—Postum has much the flavor and richness of good coffee although it has an individuality all its own. A ten days' trial will prove that it has none of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee, but will correct the troubles caused by coffee. "There's a reason." Name furnished by Postum Co.

Now they are calling upon the people of this community for donations to establish the Northern Industrial institute "for young colored men and women" in the face of Cleveland's splendid public school system, which includes the very best provisions for both classical education and industrial (manual) training. Then, too, there are entirely too many separate "charitable and semi-charitable" institutions being established here 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 "Thin Crow or separate public schools for the poor and we have 10 or 15 teachers." When is this thing to end? In a complete return to the miserable color lines of the south? Ask yourself this question. Surprised the Audience! Surprised the Audience! Smithfield, O.—Mr. and Mrs. K. Stewart dined with Mrs. Geo.

Pain that seems almost unbearable is a characteristic of solatic rheumatism. In some cases the pain is knife-like, sharp or shooting; in others it is dull and aching. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treatment and the patient frequently suffers for years. This was the case with Mr. Herbert E. Spaulding, a locomotive engineer on the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway, whose home is at Longview, Texas. "While running an engine some years ago," he says, "I fell off and hurt my knee and spine and I have always considered this to be the cause of my illness. The sciatica took hold of me from my heel to the back of my head. The pain was the worst I ever suffered in my life and my leg and back were twisted out of shape. I was under a physician's care for several months and for six months could not get out of bed. I also went to Hot Springs but came back in a worse condition than when I went. It was when I was down in bed that I heard a door in a dr. Dillson, who older than me, my self, who had been cured of sciatica by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began taking the pills and soon was able to get out of bed. When I had taken six boxes I was able to work about the house and yard. I kept right with the pills until I was cured and I have never had any return of the trouble. I have been running an engine ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

Worn Down by Five Years of Suffering from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: "I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating were gone. I have been in good health ever since."

A recent incident in Australia is related as showing how watchful a politician must be in this censorious age. Among other accounts of a deadhead nature on the books of the Westralia railway was one setting forth that Miss Peacock had been franked over the lines to the value of $25, and instantly there was wide demands about it. People wanted to know why Sir Alexander Peacock's daughter was given these privileges. Sir Alexander himself, a former premier of Victoria, was very much hurt when he heard of the matter, and hastened to assure the Westralian government firstly, that if his daughter had appeared in Westralia, it was entirely without his sanction; secondly, if she had made claims upon the Westralia railways she had done it without his authority; thirdly, that never during his long political career had he asked his own state, let alone any other, to extend dead-heading privileges to a daughter of his; and, fourthly and finally, he had no daughter, and never has had a daughter—Boston Transcript.

Trumph of American Business Triumph of American Duchess. Helen, duchess of Manchester, is now lady-in-waiting to Queen Alexandra, and the first American to receive that honor. So much for marrying the only son of the most popular American princess, the Other American duchesses may shrug and say they wouldn't be a lady in waiting on any account; but don't you believe them. It is a royal distinction tremendously valued by English nobility, and the next step is the political plum to be made mistress of the robes.—Boston Herald. Stood the Test. Allcock's Plasters have successfully stood the test of sixty years' use by the public; their virtues have never been equaled by the unscrupulous imitators who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them, and claiming them to be "just as good as Allcock's." Allcock's plasters stand to-day indorsed by not only the highest medical authorities, but by millions of grateful patients who have proved their efficacy as a household remedy.

San Francisco, Cal.—The grand jury Wednesday night returned 80 indictments charging bribery. Of these 66 were against Abraham Ruef and 14 against T. V. Halsey, ex-general agent of the Pacific States Telephone Co. A statement by Assistant District Attorney Heney, the first authoritative announcement that Heney has made for publication in regard to the number of indictments returned by the grand jury, says: "Of the 66 indictments charging Ruef with bribery, 18 are for the alleged bribing of the board of supervisors in connection with the granting of fight permits to the so-called fight trust. Ruef is charged with having paid each one of the 18 supervisors $500, and one indictment was returned for each supervisor alleged to have been bribed. Eighteen indictments against Ruef are for bribing the 18 supervisors to vote for 85-cent gas instead of a 75-cent rate, it being charged that each one of the supervisors was paid $750 by Ruef. "Thirteen indictments against him are for the alleged bribing of 13 supervisors in connection with the granting of a franchise to the Home Telephone Co. The telephone company bid and paid to the city $25,000 for the franchise. In connection with the same matter 14 indictments were returned against T. V. Halsey, formerly general agent of the Pacific States Telephone Co. for the alleged bribing of four supervisors to vote against the granting of a franchise to the rival company." Halsey is charged with having paid 13 supervisors $5,000 each and to James L. Gallagher $10,000. Halsey, it is said, agreed to pay each supervisor $2,500 additional if the franchise was not granted to the Home company. Of the 14 supervisors who, it is charged, were bribed by Halsey, nine, Mr. Heney said, turned around and took money from the other company to vote for the franchise. Two of them returned part of the money they received. The Home Telephone Co. besides the $2,000 bid for the franchise, paid $2,000 to the supervisors. In charges rented power Ruel with bribery in connection with the granting of the trolley franchise to the United Railways. CRISIS REACHED Climax of the Thaw Trial Comes When Mr. Jerome Asks that the Defend-ant be Declared Insane. New York. — The blow which Harry K. Thaw has been in terror of ever since his trial for the murder of Stanford White began, fell Wednesday. Dilatrist Attorney Jerome did not make formal application for the appointment of a commission in lunacy, but in an impassioned speech he appealed to the conscience of the court, in saying that Thaw as he sits daily in court is unhappy, and is diligently to advise his counsel and is believed by every one who has watched and come into contact with him to be insane. Mr. Jerome stated that his own alienists—the six men who testified for the state—were convinced when they had considered all the facts in connection with the case that Thaw was of unseason mind. Mr. Jerome dramatically accused the counsel for the defense of concealing testimony which, if presented to the court would make the continuance of the trial a crime. So earnestly did he plead that Justice Fitzgerald dismiss the jury until Friday morning and adjourned court until 2 o'clock this afternoon, when he will consider whatever evidence either side has to offer and decide whether the trial shall go on, or whether a commission in lunacy shall be appointed to pass up on Thaw's present condition.
