THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 35. MILLINERY MATTERS THE HAT WEEK SOME SPRINGDRESSES There is a distinct satisfaction in knowing that the millinery for the coming season is of such infinite variety of style and shape that while following the latest fashions faithfully, everyone can be well suited. This happy state of affairs prevailed last year, and was so much appreciated that the powers that be in the domain of fashion have evidently determined on the same popular policy once more—certainly a marked amount of favor is allocated to the mushroom brim, but then its softly curved shade is becoming to most faces, and for the rest there are hats of almost startling contrasted size and shape. Wonderful indeed are some of the new hats designed in Paris for spring wear, and great will be the courage of the wearers of some of them. No design seems too grotesque for originators of millinery to spring on a gullible feminine public. Luckily the majority of women realize the effect of too extraordinary chapeau and refuse to lend their services to the promoters of the truly ridiculous. Of course there are a few women so beautiful in form and chic and possessed of such grace and chic that no hat could possibly spoil them, but there are not so many of these, and then, too, these women know very well, as a rule, what they may and may not wear to set off their abundant beauty. In spite, however, of a number of outre shapes—and outre shapes appear every season in the too great striving for novel millinery—there are many charming hats being imported and also created on this side of the water. The popular stripes which fashion has dictated come as a change from the checks which have so long reigned, and are made up in attractive designs, which are appropriate both for morning and afternoon wear. To begin with, our illustration, which shows a most exquisite walking gown, demonstrates the possibilities which lie in the wake of these striped goods. The stripes in this dress are Walking Costume from Striped Cloth black on a gray ground; and the stripes are sufficient trimming to the plain skirt, except in front, where there are two panels, cut so that the stripes are horizontal, running from waist to hem, narrow at the waist and wide at the feet, and held here and there by groups of three flat silver buttons. The charming little coat is tight-fitting, with short In Un'o a There is Strength. The earlier hats of any season are usually modes of the moment only. Many are bought by women whose winter millinery has either lost its freshness or has become an old story to them, and they purchase several hats merely to vary or freshen their ensemble, and as they buy them for a few weeks' wear only, they take whatever is offered, without, as a rule, sufficient attention to the style or its becoming. The Parisian with her marvelously dressed hair may venture on many a hat that, perched above the too often careless coiffures of other women, would prove fatal to the slightest degree of chic. The French woman shows no tag ends of hair. Brilliantine and hair nets may be used, but the effect is perfect. In Paris, fortunately, the even Marcel wave is out, and all waving is done in the loose, large, irregular fashion so much more natural and so much more pleasing to the eye that has not lost its appreciation of the really beautiful. Of course comparatively few women look as well with their hair brushed smooth and plain, and those few should make the most of it. Too often the hair is completely ruined by artificial waving, and while its owner is still young her hair is thin, uneven, and lusterless, save when artificial luster is applied. As a matter of fact, and woman whose hair is regularly waved with irons should at least have her scalp carefully treated by an expert as often as once a week, and twice is better, else by the time she is 50 she will have no hair worth having growing on her head. basques, which start at either side from the pointed fronts, cut horizontally, which continue the panels of the skirt, and are similarly adorned with groups of three buttons. Tiny white satin revers break the line, and accentuate the contrast of color with the "royal blue" velvet waistcoat, which is delicately braided with silver cord at the edge. The coat-shaped sleeves have a band of the horizontal stripes running from shoulder to waist on the outside of the arm; and the cuffs also show the same disposition. A shirt with a linen collar and a white satin tie gives a smartly masculine touch; and the dress is happily completed by a toque of "royal blue" velvet with a mass of cock's plumes. For those who do not care for a coat with basques, the design would look equally well with an Eton jacket or bolero. On looking over a number of exclusive and very costly models for early spring wear I have been struck by the presence in a number of cases of tight "coat" sleeves. This was notably the case in connection with some extra long afternoon coats. The sleeves of which I am speaking are fashioned like those of a man's coat, and reach just below the elbow. At the shoulder they are almost entirely flat and the effect is wonderfully neat and subdued. I think they used to wear just such sleeves as those in the year 1882 or 1883. Photographs taken at that time portray them. Buttons become more important and remarkable every day, and are used with conscious care as part of the gown's trimming. Some are exquisitely painted miniatures on ivory, either portrait heads or cherubic faces. Then there are exquisitely fine little embroideries of flowers, mounted as buttons, in the center of circles of steel or of silver. Some very pretty buttons in an iridescent blue on a beige face-cloth dress proved on inspection to be of pottery. Every sort of ordinary semi-precious stone, especially the amethyst, is set in a surround, of silver or silver gilt. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1907. "Moving Heaven and Earth" to Convict Our Soldiers, but Making No Progress. (Special to The Gazette) (Washington, D. C. - Senator Foraker feels sure that he can prove the ordinance department of the army's microscopic examinations of the shells picked up in the streets on the morning following the night of the riot to be in error, and is proceeding his line in investigating the action for the serious criminality of the military affairs. Secretary Taft, who is doing all he can to convict the innocent members of "The Black Battalion," and thus uphold President Roosevelt's now notorious "discharge without honor" order, has already been forced to admit that the men who did the shooting may have used any guns they could secure, and that Private Taylor and Wilson, of Co. B, cannot be held to be guilty because of the showing made by the tests at the arsenal. The evidence of Leight, Lawrason, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, before the Penrose court-martial at San Antonio, Tex., discredits the report of Leight, Hawkins, who conducted the microscopic examinations. The report shows that a number of the shells examined had been fired from two of the guns of Company B which were of the reserve equipment and held in a rear position in charge of Quartzman Sergeant Larson. Lawrason testified that directly after the shooting he had gone with McCurdy to a store room and found the strong chest with the guns intact, and the chest covered with several iron cots and other company property. The guns were in the same condition they had been in when shipped from Ft. Niobara. Sergt. McCurdy made this same statement before the committee several weeks ago. All this tends to disprove the microscopic report of Leight. Hawkins. Senator Overman, of North Carolina, remarked to Senator Foraker at this stage of the proceedings on last week Tuesday, that he (Foraker) was trying to prove our soldiers innocent. The latter replied: "I don't wonder that you think so, as nothing has been shown to the contrary. And you believe that you cannot show that they were guilty." Overman replied they were guilty before the committee at an early date. On Friday it was learned that Secretary Taft had ordered the property books of the three companies sent to the war department here, with a view to correcting apparent errors in his reports. The war department is kept very busy these days. Wm. Ryan (white), corporal of Company K, Twenty-sixth infantry, who was at Brownsville prior to the coming of the Twenty-fifth infantry, serving as the artillerer under the quartermaster sergeant, testified Monday before the committee that he had sold 1,000 rounds of government ammunition to a junk dealer on order of the quartermaster sergeant, and that he had defaced the number on the quartermaster sergeant, testified Monday before the order was issued for the surrender of all the Krag type of rifles. Therefore, there is now no doubt that rifles of Brownsville had all kinds of government ammunition, rifles, etc. Three other soldiers of Ryan's regiment testified freely that white residents of Brownsville purchased a large amount of both Krag-Jorgensen and Springfield ammunition from the surplus of the Twenty-sixth infantry. They told of various ways this was done. Private Joseph J. Barnett, of Company K, the same regiment, who was left behind to clean up the barracks, testified that he saw Mexicans leaving the same with arms full of extra clothing left behind by the Twenty-sixth infantry, and things the Mexicans had picked up. He said he saw five or six hundred rounds of ammunition in the barracks. Corporal Rumainy in testified that while he was at Ft. Brown his regiment had between five and seven thousand rounds of extra ammunition and that he sold one thousand rounds to H. M. Flelda in a dealer in Brownsville, for $10 on the order of the Quartermaster Sergeant Cheesman. He said he also delivered two hundred rounds of ammunition upon the written order of Llewker, the company commander. After the departure of Company K, Ryan GAZETTE. said he found two of the six Krag rifles from which he had deed the number on order of Sergt. Cheesman, and said he did not know what became of the other four. Ryan also said that the Texas rangers used what is called the Krag carbine and that it fires the army Krag ammunition. The witness said the extra guns which were in the possession of Company K were obtained in the Philippines, and that originally there had been 20 in the lot. He thought Capt. Kilburn, the company commander, had given some of them away; that one had been sold by Cheesman, and that Capt. Kilburn still has one. He could not say what had become of the others. Private Thomas Taylor was the next witness. He said that his gun was inspected on the morning following the shooting and that it was found to be clean. Before that time the gun had not been fired since the company left Ft. Niobrara. Taylor concurred in the conclusion of Senaup up had been taken by them they must have been fired at Ft. Niobrara and then taken to Brownsville. He said that his gun could not have been used in the "shooting up" of the town and then cleaned in the dark so as to have passed inspection the next morning. The examination of Taylor had not been completed when the committee adjourned for the day. A telegram was received from brig. Gen. McCaskey, commanding the department of Texas, announcing the exoneration of Maj. Persebe by the courtmartial at San Antonio Tex., and stating that he did not approve the court's finding against men of the Twenty-fifth infantry whom it charged with the "shooting up" of Brownsville. Meantime Senator Foraker is plugging away, confident of winning. He believes before he gets through he prove that our soldiers did not "shoot" the Pusat. He believes that, he expects to show who really did the shooting. He believes this is another Dreyfus case, but instead of a single soldier being involved, there are 167 victims. The Washington Times Dirty "Upon what we meet dot this, our Caesar feed that he has, grown so great." The Washington Times, an evening penny paper of Washington, D. C., established four years ago as a contemporary and the Washington Evening Star, one of the most fairminded and outspoken of the American press of today upon the Negro and all other questions, has recently published two short advertising paragraphs that thoroughly reveal its true character. The Times is owned and controlled by Frank A. Munsey, who also owns and controls Munsey's magazine. The paper has from its inception always magnified everything that would tend to injure the Negro as a race, and now in an advertising folder giving facts and figures for the agent and advertisers under the caption of "Washington's Wealth" has this significant paragraph: "Washington, the capital of the nation has a population of 335,000, of which 95,000 are colored, and are disregarded in the Times calculation. What is said below, therefore, applies wholly to the white population." In speaking of the character of the Times' circulation, in pointing some common things that are pertinent we find this: "The Times only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news' columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." Locally no self-respecting Negro should be found with a copy of The Times, and throughout the country no Negro should have a place for it or Munsey's magazine upon his or her shelf. EASTER DAY. The Savior arose on Easter day And the tidings moved beyond allay. The saints hurled through all that country wide. "He is risen"—as by ocean tide. Like a comet "mild the stars above, They started those words ablazed by love. With pure delight they carried that theme, And o'er this whole world it still does gleam. Yes, "Christ is risen," we sing with joy. For His love did never show alloy: And abroad in hearts it yet does beat Without any shadow of defeat. From the dead our Redeemer arose Unfurling conquer o'er all His foes. He walked and talked and propelled man's hope Too firmly for opponents to cope. "He is risen" has not lost its rays Of gladness which gave the world amaze. It pushes yet with instilling spur, And none can our sweet hope deter. "Christ is risen" sounds always so dear And thus Easter lives without a peer. It speaks by this one great act condign. The true glory of our Christ divine. Titusville, Pa., Locals.

ALAN LEROY LOCKE, The Philadelphia Afro-American Harvard Student Who Has Won the Rhodes' Scholarship—Great Honor and Benefit. The above is an excellent portrait of the young man of the race, who was recently awarded the Cecil Rhodes' scholarship at Oxford university, England, which this year was allotted to the state of Pennsylvania. He is a student of Harvard university and will be graduated in June. He was chosen over four competitors (white) by a committee headed by Provost Harrison, of the University of Pennsylvania, and is the first Afro-American student to win the Young Locke School in Philadelphia in September 1885, and he received his early education in the public schools of that city, graduating from the Central high school there in 1888, and the Philadelphia school of pedagogy at the head of his class in 1904, entering Harvard university in the fall of the same year. There he has won successfully the Price, Greenleaf, Rebecca Perkins and Bowditch scholarships,' and last December was awarded a detur in recognition of his scholastic attainments, Young Locke won a place in the first group of Harvard students and is now after honors in philosophy. He is a member of his crew at the university and will attend the university. Philip Locke, at one time instructor in the Institute for Colored Youth, of Philadelphia, was his father. His mother is a teacher in one of the largest schools in an eastern city. THANKS MR. FORAKER.

"Home Run" Johnson, an Afro-American baseball player, will receive $780 for 12 games to be played in this month and April. Afro-American republicans of Mississippi are dissatisfied with President Roosevelt's democratic referee (for appointments) in that state and are protesting. A Springfield, Mass., Catholic society has engaged Senator Bent Tillman for a lecture. A like organization brought him to Cleveland about a year ago. The Texas assembly recently issued a bill extending the "Jim Crow" law of that state to the street railway and interurban lines. In most cities of Texas this provision was already in effect as a result of the municipal ordinances. Edward Howell, one of the most influential Negroes in southern Mississippi, and president of the Peoples' bank, an institution of Hattiesburg, Miss., was shot in the back and killed while on his way home Tuesday night. The shooting is a mystery. In the March number of the Review of Reviews is a plan of Jamestown.

I wish to announce to the public that in the near future there will be a dissolution in the undertaking firm of Gee & Wills, by request of Mr. Wills. There has been no misunderstanding or trouble between the members of the firm to cause such a request. The reasons Mr. Wills gives for dissolving are as follows: First: His expenses have become so heavy, he wishes to be alone. Second: He wishes to establish a business of his own, so he may better dispose of it when he leaves the house. This says he may do more time with his health. In order to lighten his expenses he surely must think he can command the largest part of the business: If there be such a thought and he wishes dissolution on account of such a thought he is evidently showing ingratitude to the man. (W. W. Gee) who was instrumental in placing him in business, for it is known to many that Mr. Wills spent several years here prior to my coming; during that time no business venture, so far as I know, he had made, but entered the business as a partner of mine after the business was nine months old. In regard to the second reason he gives, I wish to state, I offered the first of the year, when Mr. Wills spoke of the probability of his going away in February, in case he should leave the city, to purchase his share, and if I would not give what he asked, to sell the entire business rather than deprive him of a good sale. To sell to another firm, should I care to buy his share, would also be showing ingratitude to man who was instrumental in placing him in business. Please to understand that, Mr. Wills did not ask for a dissolution until the business by 'phone service and advertising has been centered at 425 Central avenue, (because we felt the need of a joint office and this seemed the best place in sight.) If Mr. Wills has any other reason for a dissolution, he has failed to state it to me. I feeling that the public needs some explanation, have stated what he has stated. I wish to thank the public for past kindness and say I will carry a full line of funeral goods and be prepared to serve any who may call me. I will conduct business at the old office, 662 Central avenue, old number; new number 3322 Central avenue. W. W. GEE, senior member of firm. Bell 'phone, North 1216 R. MR. EDWARD C. BERRY. Appointed a Trustee of Wilberforce University Last Week by the Governor of Ohio—A Leading Business Man. The above is an excellent portrait of one of Ohio's most progressive and successful business men without reference to class or color. For many years Mr. Berry has been proprietor of Hotel Berry, Athens, O., owning the property as well as conducting the business, and is known by traveling men throughout the length and breadth of the land because of the excellent service and accommodations afforded in his up-to-date hotel. He and his splendid help-mate, Mrs. Berry, are not only credits to the race, but shining examples of what aggressive, yet modest and unassuming Afro-Americans can accomplish. His standing in the community is of the best. Mr. and Mrs. Berry are active workers and members of the Baptist church, if memory serves us correctly. Both are loyal members of the race, of course. Hotel Berry, a very pretty and commodious building on the main street, is the leading business of the kind in the city of Athens, and has been for years. Ed E.

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. A Pittsburg packer recently objected to Ernest Walker, an Afro-American government meat inspector, until the government "sat" on him. Attorney General Bonaparte has ruled that neither southern nor northern states can contract for foreign labor and the south is sore. Mississippi republicans in convention assembled recently praised Senator Foraker highly and declared for him as the next republican candidate for the presidency. Good! The efforts of the south and the Associated Press to get the postoffice department to draw a color line in its railway postal department has been promptly killed by the new postmaster general. The recruiting station at Columbus, Ga., has been unable to enlist a single Afro-American after several weeks' effort. This is another result of the unjust treatment of "The Black Battalion" by President Roosevelt. Is President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft, or both of them, responsible for the "Jim Crow" waiting rooms, railway cars, and many other like "public places" conducted by the government on the Panama canal zone? We would like to know. The Gazette is indebted to the Cleveland Plain Dealer for the cut which enables us to give the excellent portrait of Alan Leroy Locke in this paper. This is not the first courtesy of the kind we have enjoyed at the hands of the Cleveland's leading daily newspaper. --- Dr. Booker T. Washington insists that he said: "We have some white people in the south who are as good friends as can be found anywhere else," which is doubtless true. He denies having said "that the white people of the south are the best friends of the Negro," which of course is simply ridiculous. We are glad to be able to publish the above on the suggestion of the principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute. Secretary Taft has ordered 76 members of the Ninth cavalry to proceed to West Point military academy for duty there. They succeed white soldiers who have had to care for the horses of the cadets as well as their own mounts, and who have successfully contended to be relieved. The dispatch from Washington says that the secretary feels that the colored cavalrymen will have no objection to being servants for the white cadets. This is "rubbing it in." We wish congress would pass a law prohibiting discrimination against the uniform of the army and navy. It would be an excellent thing for the Afro-American soldier. It will be remembered that last year President Roosevelt had much to say anent the refusal of certain white soldiers and sailors in public places because they wore the uniform of the army and navy. He even contributed toward a fund to help prosecute in the courts, the proprietors of these places and thereby showed an interest which is to say the least very commendable. By all means let us have such a law. There would be less mistreatment of Afro-American soldiers such as miserable inhabitants of Brownsville, Texas, meted out to members of "The Black Battailon." To what extreme is the administration being put in its effort to convict members of "The Black Battalion" for a crime they are not guilty of, when it is found necessary by Secretary Taft to subject to microscopic examinations the 33 shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville," Tex., on the morning following the night of the riot? The very weakness of this effort is emphasized by the qualifying letter which the secretary of war sent to the senate committee on military affairs with the report of the ordinance department of the army which conducted the examinations. Really the Brownsville investigation, as far as the administration's side of it is concerned, seems to be approaching the ridiculous stage. The great preponderance of testimony secured from the witnesses, black and white, by the committee, to date, shows conclusively the innocence of "The Black Battalion," not only as to participation in the alleged "shooting up" of the town, but also as regards the know edge of who did do the shooting. MR. TAFT'S "WINK." Speaking of Secretary Taft's "winking" at the miserable political conditions, from a republican viewpoint, existing in Mississippi in particular and the south in general, the Alexander City (Ala.) Southern Republican pertinently remarked in a recent issue: "Of course, a democratic senator can have a say or two in republican matters in Mississippi when the republicans of Mississippi know that a republican administration at Washington turns with favor to the Mississippi republican who has the backing of democrats and democratic senators and representatives. A democratic senator ought to have a voice in republican matters in Mississippi, too, when a democrat was referee for patronage for a national republican administration for quite a while. Perhaps the sort of republicans that are acceptable to Mississippi democracy and are susceptible of democratic influence are in some effect. If so, the administration at Washington is to blame, and it is just such contemptible, miserable, damnable political debauchey of the republican south from the Washington end, that causes the southern American to now announce that it were easier for a snow ball to float in hell than for this paper to support Taft for the republican nomination for president." The Southern Republican ought not to be surprised at Mr. Taft's silent endorsement of the administration's southern democratic referee policy as far as appointments to office are concerned. Didn't he endorse southern disfranchisement in his Greensboro, N. C., speech of last year? If so, and our remembrance is that he did, is Mr. Taft to be expected to do otherwise than "wink" when addressed on such subjects? And still there are those who talk of him as the probable republican candidate for the presidency next year! Surely they do not consider the intelligent Afro-American vote necessary to help win on election day in event of the nomination of such a candidate. The Race Press. Brownsville, "The American Drelfus Fus Case," continues to be the main topic discussed in the race papers of the larger view and stiffer conviction; such as the Guardian (Boston), the Conservator (Chicago), the Gazette (Cleveland), the Planet (Richmond), and many others of shorter reach. Referring to two white daily papers of that city, the Gazette, of Cleveland, O., keeps the following standing in its columns: "The Leader and the News never fail to publish any article that is calculated to increase the prejudice and feeling against our people. They seem to delight in the dirty work. Do not allow them in your homes." And yet Editor Harry C. Smith keeps out of prison. Take note, ye tender-feet who grew alarmed when The Horizon spoke its mind against certain journalistic "whited sepulchres."—Alexandria (Va.) Horizon. Mayor Saved Brownsville. San Antonio, Tex.—"Mayor Fred erick Cocke," said Maj. C. W. Penrose, last Saturday, "was the only man in Brownville who could have handled the situation. I believe he was solely responsible for the prevention of a disaster, and he did this work through his personal force and will. "Dr. Combe said to me that he told them when he met that band of 300 armed men that night he told them to return; that if they were contemplating marching to the post they did not appreciate what they were really doing in going against three of the world's most powerful world and that they would be wiped off the face of the earth. It was only through his indomitable will and courage that he prevented Brownville from being in ruins/ today." Tried to Save McKinley. Atlantic City, N.

Smith, editor of the Cteveland Gazette, a newspaper devoted to the interests of the colored race, was in Cadiz on Friday of last week, and in the evening delivered a lecture in the A. M. E. church on 'The Black Battalion.' While in town Mr. Smith paid us a pleasant visit at this office. Mr. Smith was a member of the Seventy-first, Seventy-second and Seventy-fourth general assemblies to the Ohio legislature, and is a man of the considerable intelligence, well informed on questions of general interest that are being discussed by the American people of the present day. The Gazette has a large circulation among the colored population throughout the state as well as others, and Mr. Smith's influence among his people is being recognized. He is author of Ohio antihybrid law the principal provision of the Seventy-fourth law in lynching should take place is held subject to a heavy penalty in the point of damages arising from the actions of the mob, or to the person mobbed. Since the law was passed a number of other states have adopted it in part, the latest is that of South Carolina. Ex-Senator Hogg, of Cadiz, assisted in the passage of the Ohio law in the senate." When Pride Comes Between. So many of the little chafing problems of married life could be mastered, so many of the mists of misunderstanding could be dissipated by the sunshine of love, so many of the discords in the music of home could be translated into harmonies if false pride did not so often come between, writes William George Jordan in the April Dellineator. True pride is the guardian and protector of what is best in us; false pride is the sullen defender and apologist of our weakness. Life has so much real pain and sorrow, so many dark clouds floating over the sky home, care and trouble that seem to be impossible. That it seems almost extravagance to manufacture troubles merely to offer them as sacrifices on the altar of vanity, this false pride. The Negro Exhibit. Jamestown, Va.—Several of the most notable paintings of Henry O. Tanner will be on exhibition in the art department of the Negro exhibit.

There is now enough material in sight to fill the building from cellar to garret, but quality rather than quantity will be desired. The Negro exhibit will occupy six acres of the exposition grounds, and will have several structures for the use of concessionaires besides the main building referred to. "The Black Battalion's" Regiment Stopped. El Paso, Tex. — The rush of packing and getting ready to leave for the Philippines was stopped at Fort Bliss by a telegram from the war department at Washington, announcing that the date for the 25th infantry to sail for Manila had been indefinitely postponed. The four companies of the army of the Philippines had been about completed the arrangements to leave here Sunday. The investigation into the Brownville trouble is the cause of the delay.

AN EASTER SONG A song of sunshine through the rain, Of spring across the snow; A balm to heal the hurts of pain, A peace surpassing woe. Lift up your heads, ye sorrowing ones, And be ye glad of heart. For Calvary and Easter Day, Earth's saddest day and gladdest day, Were just one day apart! With shudder of despair and loss The world's deep heart was wrung. As, lifted high upon His cross, The Lord of Glory hung— When rocks were rent, and ghostly forms Stole forth in street and mart; But Calvary and Easter Day, Earth's blackest day and whitest day, Were just one day apart.

JRCEY Symbol of Glad Easter All Nations and All Peoples Have Connected the Egg with the Creation or Renewal of Life. tion, and so, as the Egyptians we skilled in astronomical matters, this was left for a long time to the Alex-andrian see to decide. The rules decreed that the 21st of March should be regarded as the vernal equinox. The full moon happening upon or next after the 21st of March should be regarded as the full moon of the month of Nisan. The first Lord's day after that full moon should be observed as Easter day. If the full moon chanced to fall on Sunday, the next Sunday should be Easter day. As all the movable feasts and fasts depend on Easter, uniformity of time in its observance was an important matter. The rules adopted by the Nicene council makes it possible for it to fall upon any Sunday of five weeks, commencing with March 22 and ending with April 25. The name Easter is derived from the name of the Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre, Eastre, or Ostera, and may be traced back to the Phoenician moon goddess, Astarte, so often associated with the hare in Eastern myths. Hence, perhaps, the use of the hare in connection with the Easter eggs, which it is said to lay. Some think the name comes from the word oster, which means rising, and to Christians it, of course, is commemorative of the rising of Christ from the dead. The month dedicated to the spring goddess of the Saxons was the fourth month, which answers to our April, and her festival was held in honor of the opening of the natural year, to commemorate the setting free of the natural forces of germination and growth which the winter had chilled and crucified. Each nation has had its own Easter customs, but many of them can be traced back to the ancient spring festivals welcoming the return of the sun. In the church it is one of the three great Christian feasts, and has been known as the Queen of Festivals and the Lord of Days. It is ushered in by vigil and fasting, but is, itself, a time of rejoicing. In the olden days a relic of the fire worshiping time could be found in the kindling of new and pure fires, after the old ones had been extinguished, from the Paschal candle, the great and sacred candle which often weighed hundreds of pounds. The washing of the feet of others by high dignitaries of church and state was, of course, done in memory of Christ's washing the feet of the apostles. Music, candles, bonfires, flowers, miracle plays, the pealing of bells, the exchange of gifts, the liberation of prisoners, the setting free of slaves, the giving of alms or maunds, the playing of games, some of them rude and rough enough indeed, during Easter week—the set apart the season from others. Certain articles of food, such as tansy cake, typifying the "bitter herbs," and hot cross buns and custards were eaten in England. In Ireland the peasants rose early to see the sun dance, which we may do by looking in a stream of water, as they did. Most of the ruder sports have died out, but the note of gladness in its observance still dominates, though sounded in gentler fashion. And the solemn observance of the church, made beautiful by an impressive ritual invested with all that light and color and sound can add to a ceremony, inspire the faithful with the thought that once again light and life have triumphed over death and darkness.

Easter lilies and tulips, violets and hyacinths all have spoken of the birth of a new year, of the springing forth of buds and blossoms, of the thrill- OR days the shop windows have spoken eloquently though mutely of the advent of the great spring festival which in some form or other the classes and masses of the people are observing. Easter lilies and tulips, violets and hyacinths all have spoken of the birth of a new year, of the springing forth of buds and blossoms, of the thrilling of bird songs, of the breaking of ice-bound waters, of the passing of winter, and of the return of the sun, bringing with it seedtime, and the birth of new hopes and desires, symbolized in the celebration of Easter. And everywhere the egg, symbolic of the universe and of life, of the springing forth from the germ of new forces and powers, has been in evidence. The Egyptians, the Jews, the Persians and Hindus, the Syrians, the Burmese, the Chinese, the Australians, the Hawaiians—all have connected the egg with the creation or renewal of life. Hawaii, the islanders declare, was a great egg which some mammoth bird dropped as it passed over the seas. The Egyptians regarded the egg as a sacred emblem of the renovation of mankind after the flood, and the Jews used it as a type of their departure from the land of the Egyptians, and with the Paschal lamb it was a part of the Passover feast. The early Christians were, of course, Jewish, and when they began to observe Easter as a Christian feast gave to the egg as a part of the ceremonial of the season a new significance, that of the resurrection from the dead. Eggs were forbidden during Lent, and so naturally accumulated, as the hens did not stop laying. Eating them on Easter day signified that fasting time was over and feasting begun, so they were connected with joy just as were the bells which, hushed during the period preceding Easter day, broke into joyous pealing at its dawn. The name for Easter in the romance languages—paques in French, pasqua in Italian, and pascua in Spanish—comes through the Latin pascha, from the Chaldean form of the Hebrew name for the Passover festival. Hence the eggs are pace, pashe, paschal, or pasque eggs, as well as Easter eggs. When the early Christians began to observe Easter as a Christian festival, a controversy as to the time of its observance, known as the Paschal controversy, and extending from the second to the fourth centuries, arose. The Eastern churches kept it at the same time as the Jewish Passover, the 14th day of the Jewish lunar month of Nisan, which most often corresponds to our month of April, though sometimes synchronous with March. The Western churches thought that it should be identified with Sunday, and observed it on the Sunday following the 14th day of Nisan. At the beginning of the fourth century, the Emperor Constantine succeeded in having a canon passed by the ecumenical council of Nice, fixing and making uniform the date of its observance, though as the rules laid down by this council for the date of its observance made it necessary to reconcile three periods, with no common measure, namely, the week, the lunar month and the solar year, the determination of Easter was for a long time a matter requiring great nicety of calcula --- Notice to Subscribers. — Subscribers not receiving The Gazette regularly should notify us at once.

Jones and Jones ought to have the undivided support of the Afro-Americans of this community. Remember the address and firm name. Bell phone. In calling ask for Charles Jones. The trustees of the St. James' African M. E. church have asked common pleas court on permission to sell their church property on Arthur avenue S. E., because of the presence of numerous italians in the district in which the property is located. The property was purchased about a year ago. The trustees claim that there was no objection by members of the congregation to the location of the purchase at the time of the purchase. Shortly afterward, say, it was discovered that the district was largely populated by italians and then objections were made. The trustees claim that many of the members that the italians will probably interrupt and disturb the congregation and say that it is to the best interests of the congregation to sell the property. Some more anti-Negro rot from Monday's Cleveland Leader: "As soon as the mutton was placed upon the table a couple of large slices were cut off and put upon a plate and laid upon the table-cloth Billy (a dog) had spread out. With an eager appetite the dog was about to begin his dinner when Miss Hall remarked, 'Ah, Billy, it is sad to think that this meal was cooked by a colored woman.' Without a growl or a whine, it is said, the poor dog turned away from the food and retired to the farthest corner of the room, where he lay down with an air of resignation, that a human being might have coped with advantage. After a minute or two he told Billy, I find I was mistaken about the cook. She is white, and as good a Christian ever attended church.' The joy of the dog at this intimation, we are told, was expressed in a most emphatic manner, and the eagerness with which he attacked the mutton was the strongest possible proof of his previous restraint." The above is dirty! It is the latest move of The Leader and the News to injure our people in the estimation of their readers. But those papers from your homes as you would a lousy dog. MAKE MONEY!

Mr. Robert Odbert, a machinist, living at 201 Cameron Street, Detroit, Mich., had a very distressing experience with rheumatism for about two years. He makes the following statement: "About the year 1887 I felt the effects of rheumatism which gradually grew worse until I was compelled to give up work for a time. The years of '97 and '98 I was confined to my bed most of the time. I was under doctors' treatment but found no relief. My legs were swollen from the hips downward and red blotches appeared all over them. Frequently they pained me so that I had to bind them tightly relieved on them but at other times failed to do so. I was drawn to my work, using two crutches. During these spells I suffered greatly from pain around my heart which I attributed to the rheumatism. "At last my mother wrote me and asked me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I did and in a short time I found myself getting better and have had no trouble since. I may here add that I consider myself perfectly cured. I have not had the least sign of the disease since and feel better now than I ever did. For these reasons I recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to any one affected the same as I was." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. X. FOUND HE COULD MAKE TIME. One Call for Physician That Met with Quick Response. Life is such a constant rush to a well-known physician that to secure a little recreation he has recourse to ruses. A visitor called one night, and began a speech to the servant: "I want the doctor to come over as quickly as he can." "He can't do it!" the servant answered. "He left orders that he was so busy that unless it was absolutely a matter of life and death he couldn't go out at all this evening." "But," said the caller, "it isn't illness at all." "What then?" "We want him to come over and take a hand in a game of whist." "Oh, that's different." The servant disappeared, and reappeared a moment later. "The doctor says he'll be over in ten minutes, sir," he announced. Another Silent Senator In substituting Major Frank O. Briggs for John F. Dryden New Jersey will send another silent senator to congress. It is said that Major Briggs has never made a speech or written a public document of any kind. Nor has he had any legislative experience. For a long time New Jersey has been represented in the senate by men who have not displayed forensic ability. Mr. Kean, who is now serving his second term, has never participated in senate debates. There is some good, even in those who appear at the worst. Painter Poor Paint is Expensive If one is rich enough to repaint his buildings every year for the pleasure of having a change of color scheme, the quality of the paint used may cut little figure. But if it is desirable to cut the painting bills down to the least amount possible per year, it is of the utmost importance that the paint be made of Pure White Lead and the best of Linseed Oil. There are imitations in the form of alleged White Lead, and there are substitutes in the form of ready-prepared paints. We guarantee our White Lead to be absolutely pure, and the Dutch Boy on the side of every keg is your safety-guard. Look for him.

The yoke may be made as illustrated, of rows of narrow insertion, or it may be of all-over lace or alternate rows of lace and embroidery or tucking. The plain space between the tucks in center of front, affords a good place for a bit of hand embroidery, which always adds to the beauty of a waist of this character. The sleeves are in the fashionable elbow length, and the pattern provides for either tucks, or gathers above the cuff. Batiste, mull, handkerchief lined, dotted swiss and China silk will all be found available. The 36-inch bust measure will require two and three-eighths yards of 36-inch material for the making.

Facts About Finger Nails The growth of the average finger nail is computed to be one thirty-second of an inch a week, or a little more than an inch and a half a year. The finger nails, Popular Science Siftings states, are said to grow faster in the summer than in the winter. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any of the other nails, and that on the thumb grows slowest. It is also said that the nails on the right hand grow faster than those on the left hand. According to the growth stated, the average time taken for each finger nail to grow its full length is about four and a half months, and at this rate a man 70 years old would have renewed his nails 186 times. Taking the length of each nail as half an inch, he would have grown seven feet nine inches of nail on each finger, and on all his fingers and thumbs an aggregate length of 77½ feet. Berlin Barred Scriptural Sign The Berlin police are extremely thorough in their methods, and Daniel Cziemec, who keeps a beer house opposite the Nazareth church there, has experienced this. In a moment of inspiration he christened his establishment "Daniel in the Lions" Den, and painted on the signboard over his door a picture of the great Hebrew sitting at ease among the lions. The police came along and told Daniel that his sign and picture were calculated to offend religious susceptibilities and ordered their removal. "Daniel in the" might remain, but "Lions" Den" and the picture had to go. Shy One Bull: Fined $200. The manager who would advertise his 40 minstreis, "count 'em," in Mexico, and then put on his show with about ten men all told, would not escape as easily as he does in the states. Because the number of bulls produced for a bull fight in Monterey, the other Sunday, were one short of the advertised number, the manager was fined $200 by the municipal authorities.

Sheep Raising in Australia The greatest industry of Australia is sheep raising, mainly for the sake of the wool, but also in course, for the meat. Australia now ranks second among the great sheep-raising countries, Argentina being first with 92,000,000 sheep, Australia second with 72,000,000, and Russia third with 70,000,000. Only a few years ago Australia was first, possessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Australian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Australia. They were first introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish marino species. DURING THIS MONTH: Excellent Advice Which Our Readers Will Benefit By. Now is the time to get the rheumatic poisons and foul acids from the blood and system, states an eminent authority, who says that Rheumatism and Kidney trouble are caused by the blood, which often becomes sour from excessive acids, and also tells what to do to make it pure and healthy. Get from any good prescription pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandclain, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. Just try this simple blood cleaner and tonic at the first sign of Rheumatism, or if your back aches or you feel that the Kidneys are not acting right. Any one can easily prepare this mixture at home. Varnish Secret Lost The Cremona varnish disappeared about 1750, and so far the recipe has not been rediscovered. Whether it was a gum or an oil or a distillation from some plant or a chemical is not known, nor how it was mixed. Many theories regarding it have been advanced from time to time, and Dod, who died in 1830, claimed to have rediscovered it. He employed others to make his violins, but always varnished them himself. His varnish is very superior, and his violins command high prices. The varnishing and polishing of a violin are done usually by a woman. It requires time and practice, for the finest instruments are gone over as often as 30 times.—March Circle. BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS. New York Women Have Surmounted Great Obstacle. Marvelous as it may seem, New York women have lately discovered a way of fastening their waists up the back without calling for assistance. Thought not lacking in generosity, they became so tired of the outstretched palm of the chambermalds that they now feel that it is time to guard their pockets. The Gotham woman discovered that if she put her blouse on hind side before, with the sleeves hanging free, it could be fastened from top to bottom, with the exception of the hooks at the neck, and then turned around and the arms slipped into the sleeves without unduly straining the fastenings. So simple! So strange that no one had thought of it before. Or is it possible other women have used the plan and meanly kept it to themselves? Will the waist that buttons in the back now have a new lease of life? GOOD NATURED AGAIN. Good Humor Returns with Change to Proper Food. "For many years I was a constant sufferer from indigestion and nervousness amounting almost to prostration," writes a Montana man. "My blood was impoverished, the vision was blurred and weak, with moving spots before my eyes. This was a steady daily condition. I grew ill-tempered, and eventually got so nervous I could not keep my books posted, nor handle accounts satisfactorily. I cannot describe my sufferers. "Nothing I ate agreed with me, till one day I happened to notice Grape-Nuts in a grocery store and bought a package, out of curiosity to know what it was. "I liked the food from the very first, eating it with cream, and now I buy it by the case and use it daily. I soon found that Grape-Nuts food was supplying brain and nerve force as nothing in the drug line ever had done or could do. "It wasn't long before I was restored to health, comfort and happiness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts food my digestion had been restored, my nerves are steady once more, my eyesight is good again, my mental faculties are clear and acute, and I have become so good-natured that my friends are truly astonished at the change. I feel younger and better than I have for 20 years. No amount of money would induce me to surrender what I have gained through the use of Grape-Nuts food." Name given by Postum Co.

Mr. M. V. Mclnnes, Detroit, Michigan; Dear Sir and Friend—It will be four years next May since I came to Olds, and have lived here ever since. Since I came here wheat has run from 25 to 45 bu. per acre, oats from 65 to 115, that I know of. I raised that last year, 115 bu. to the acre of the finest oats I ever saw, and oats that I sowed 31st day of May this year went $72\frac{1}{2}$ to the acre and weighed 41 lbs. to the bushel. My barley went 40 bu. last year and 50 this year, and was not sown until the latter part of May. I had 3 acres of potatoes this year and sold 700 bushels and put 275 bu. in the cellar, and no burs to pick. We have a fine Government Creamery at Olds. Our cows made $11 per head and I didn't feed any grain; only prairie hay, so you see we are doing well. We have the patent for our homestead now and am very thankful that we came to Alberta. We have made a little over $1,000 each year besides making our living. I would not go back to Michigan to live for anything. If I had my choice of a ticket to Olds or a 40-acre farm in Michigan I would take the ticket and in two years I could buy any of them 40-acre farms. This is the country for a poor man, as well as a man with money. I will close, thanking you for our prosperity. I remain yours truly. (Signed) OTTO YETTING. Olds, Alberta, Canada. Box 159.

Scotch Minister Announces Discovery of Remarkable Germicide. A claim of an astounding nature is put forward by a minister whose field of work lies within the bounds of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. He has discovered a germicide by the application of which he can cure every kind of infectious, loathsome, and incurable disease, even when considered, humanly speaking, hopeless. He has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that hospitals for infectious diseases are quite unnecessary, and that surgical operations except on the battlefield or in railway or other accidents, are totally uncalled for. No operation is needed, according to him, for appendicitis, for example, as it can be perfectly well cured by the germicide. The discoverer of the germicide has published a list of the names of 50 patients, with their addresses, whom he says he has cured, or is in process of curing, even in some cases, after they had received their "death warrant" from medical practitioners. FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep- Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. "I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch though the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itching. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Olntment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now. Edward Worell, Band 30th U. S. Infantry, Fort Crook, Nebraska." Wages Good "Smellers" Earn There are several trades which provide men and women with good living simply because they enjoy an exceptionally keen sense of smell, says the London World. Scentmakers, for example, need some one with a very delicate sense of smell to aid them in mixing the ingredients of perfumes in proper proportions. Queen Alexandra's favorite perfume — violet—costs £10 per ounce bottle, and it has to run the gaudiet of five professional "smellers" before it is passed as being correctly blended and ready for her majesty's use. Some of the leading firms of perfume makers pay their "smellers" from £4 to £7 a week. Contractors for the lighting of streets, large public buildings and pleasure grounds very often engage "smellers" to find escapes of gas, one shilling being generally paid for each escape reported.

Rosenthal, the pianist, is one of those entitled to have his crankiness termed "the eccentricities of genius," says the San Francisco Chronicle. When he inspected his rooms at the Majestic upon his arrival very late the other night, he went softly to the adjoining doors, and placing his cars close to the cracks, exclaimed in broken English, "Zoedd, no sounds pass thee." After nodding his approval of the grand piano and the furniture he frowned at the tan-colored window shades, "Must be green." He was assured that a change would be made especially for him the next day. At five o'clock in the morning Rosenthal, clad only in his pajamas, came scurrying excitedly down stairs and into the office, where the drowsy night clerk was nodding at the desk. "Ze street cars! Noise! Must stopped! Nervous me! I cannot steen." The clerk hurriedly sent for Manager Gustav Mann, and Mann spent two hours telling Rosenthal funny stories in German while trying to divert his mind while the clerk was upstairs squaring the management for waking a guest on the Gough street side and ordering him to move at once to the Sutter street side as a gas pipe had burst under the floor and had to be repaired! STAYS CURED. Old Friends Praise Dr. David Kennedy's Remedy, the Best Kidney and Liver Medicine. Mr. F. Christie, of 14 Swan street, Albany, N. Y., in 1896 was a very sick man. He suffered from a most aggravated case of dyspepsia. He gave Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy a thorough trial and it cured him absolutely. In 1906 (20 years after), Mr. Christie says he still remains well in health. His cure in 1886 was a permanent one. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not a secret or "patient" medicine.

Ivy PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which it is compounded as upon the ingredients used. First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopia has its special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined. It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE. In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years' experience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists. WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEMSELVES. The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tronics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way a medical compound can be made of real value.
