THE SOME SEASONABLE STYLES Bands of silk trimmed with lines, of the narrow braid are another fashion, and often the silk band with the dark braiding is used in preference to the same colors, but this is again one of the details to be solved by individual taste. Waisties to match the skin are again the most fashionable this spring, but almost invariably is there a short coat or wrap to be worn with the gown. This is on the order of the short wrap with long shoulder effect, not generally, becoming, it must be admitted, and yet decidedly smart. As a rule this style of wrap has the disadvantage that it completely hides any lines of the figure and unless cut exactly right gives the appearance of 1890 THE FASHION OF THE NORTHWEST. ORIGINAL DESIGNS FOR WALKING GOWNS (1) Blouse costume of face cloth, trimmed with strappings of same. (2) Cape costume of cloth inset with coarse canvas. Blouse of Venetian gulpure. coat and skirt, is by no means to be tabcoed, and blue and black serge costumes are always to be found in every thorough outfit. The palest of grays, almost white, the tans, so light as to be nearly yellow, the new faint shades of all colors, come within the possible and practical list, and all of these colors are suitable for long or a short, thick waist. However, it is not a fashion that is generally attempted, excepting by a dressmaker who so thoroughly understands her business that she studies lines, and she will cut the wrap in such wise that by adding an inch or two in the front or back the desired line is given, and, presto, the weaker of the gown looks as delightfully slender as she could possibly desire. Tassels and buttons play an important part in this season's clothes. The buttons are most decorative, often really artistic, while the tassels give a charming finish. Lace ruffles, jabots and ties, with ruchings of lace so arranged as to soften hard edges and yet for the lace itself not to show, seem to be the part of the elegancies of modern dress that suggest extravagance without too boldly asserting it. Buttons, buckles, lace, etc., add materially to the cost of the gown, also, which apparently is one of the desired points of modern dress; tassels and braiding are not so costly, although the silver tassels are by no means cheap. Shall skirts be plain or trimmed is a question that is still being most violently discussed, and a lot of argument is being wasted on the topic, for in these days no woman feels she is called upon to slavishly obey any of fashion's mandates, but can choose what best suits her own especial style of beauty. The long plain skirts are most delightfully graceful, outline a good figure to perfection, and yet are cut so wide that the flare below the hips takes away any idea of the old fashioned tight fitting skirt. With one of these perfectly hung and fitted skirts made of some handsome material, nothing is required to add to its beauty, and yet the wide band of some contrasting material or embroidery is effective and very charming. In making a walking-skirt which is to be short, everything should be remembered and adored that will give an appearance of length. Circular trimmings, therefore ought to be avoided. A plaited skirt, with the plaits running downwards and stitched down firmly to about eight inches from the ground, is a very good style. Another desirable form of walking-skirt has stitched strappings covering the seams and extra plaits let in the lower part of each gore; this skirt is best made unlined. For a very tall woman a double skirt is not unfavorable if made with a deep point front and back cut up only at the sides. For more "dressy" gowns trains are indispensable. The corselet on the princess cut is most graceful, and this also is seen made with a simulated underskirt, the top part deeply pointed front and back as just described. --- So often the spring season is so short that it seems as if the heat of summer followed immediately after the intense cold of midwinter, and then a cloth costume seems to be quite necessary, as there is really so little time to wear it, but the well dressed woman takes no chances on exceptional seasons and provides herself with a smart cloth costume of light weight, knowing that there will be plenty of days during the summer when such a costume will prove exactly the correct thing to wear. Shaggy rough materials and dark colors do not come under this head, although the light weight black cloth gown, made in some fanciful design, even in the eternal medium length coat and skirt, is by no means to be tabcoed, and blue and black serge costumes are always to be found in every thorough outfit. The palest of grays, almost white, the tans, so light as to be nearly yellow, the new faint shades of all colors, come within the possible and practical list, and all of these colors are suitable for long or Two Pretty Hats. short coats and long or short skirts, although as the more elaborate designs are chosen the skirts should of right be long. Combining cloth and silk is to be immensely fashionable this season, and among the newest models are to be found some fascinating instances of this. The cloth skirt to be worn with silk, the soft finished silk coat, is most attractive, and absolutely new, and, in fact, were it not that the braiding on coat and skirt corresponds exactly it would be impossible to believe that the two were intended to be worn together. Soutache braiding is really one of the marked features of the season and is most extensively used on all materials and colors. Veling and silk have often been combined, but never to the extent they are this spring, and, as in the cloth and silk costume, the coat of silk is thought smarter than the coat of the same material as the skirt. In Union There is Strength. GA 36. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1907. Ohioan Accuses Missourian of Mis- quoting Testimony and Proves It—Prime Soldier Testimony. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C., the Brownsville hearing on the 26th ult. before the senate committee was enlisted by another clash between Senator Foraker, who is working up the case in behalf of the discharged soldiers, and Senator Warner (rep.) of Missouri, to whom appears to have been assigned the duty of prosecutor. Private Taylor, of Co. B, one of the men whose rifle, according to the expert examination of bullets at the arsenal, is supposed to be one of those from which bullets picked up in the streets of Brownsville had been fired, was under cross-examination by Senator Warner, and without reason for the same, that the senator's remark might stay there if he wished it to. Mr. Foraker insisted that the question put to the witness made his interruption necessary, and he said he had endeavored to make the interruption in such a way that the senator from Missouri would have no cause to feel aggrievant. He knew that he never had extra ammunition and saw none at the barracks when Negro troops arrived at Fort Brown. When asked concerning the issue of extra ammunition to soldiers when they desired to go hunting, Taylor said he never secured any, because he always took one of the three shotguns which belonged to his company and which were kept in the storehouse. The next day on the night of the shooting he got his rifle from the rack soon after the call to arms was sounded and that he was almost certain he had his gun, because he had secured it while Sergt. Jackson stood near with a laltern, and he had taken the rifle from the place in the rack set aside for his use. He also told the "shooting up," expressing the opinion that the firing was from outside the walls towards the barracks, and the bullets could he hear the whistling of the bullets. It was so marked, he avered, that when the call came he and other members of the company had dressed sitting up on the floor or crouched down as much as possible, while one man dodged behind the chimney to escape the bullets. He said also that he was unable afterward to find the marks of any bullets on the outside of the barracks. Spotswood W. Talafero, sergeant major of the Twenty-fifth infantry during the walls towards the barracks, said that on the night of the shooting asleep in the administration building and was awakened by a single shot, which he thought came from the town outside the garrison wall. He said he put on part of his clothes and ran out of the building to find Maj. Penrose, and heard some one near the garrison gate say, three times in a deep voice: "I want all of you." The witness said he was greatly excited, but he ran to the barracks, where he found the major and reported to him. He secured a gun and went back to his post at the administration building, where he heard the scavenger's cart and mule coming across the parade ground. Lleut. George Carson Lawrason, who was in command of Co. B, was on the stand nearly all of March 27 and on practically all material points his testimony corroborated that given by the men of his command, and also by the men of Companies C and D. He was then bullets taken from the walls of the city, and could not say whether they had been fired from the Springfield rifles, with which the Twenty-fifth infantry was equipped, or whether they had been GAZETTE. The acting secretary of war has issued an order turning over to the department of agriculture for experimental purposes a strip of the Fort Brown (Tex.) military reservation 500 feet in width and 3,400 feet in length, lying along the northern boundary of the reservation. The war department has received a proposition from a real estate firm to lease the Fort Brown reservation, but apparently would prefer to turn the whole tract over to the agricultural department if the latter can make use of it. The indications are that the old post, which has long been a source of trouble, beginning with protracted disputes about title to the lands comprised, and winding up in the Brownsville affair, will soon be wiped out. The sooner the better. Watch for our next letter. It will be great. The Scientific American is going to offer a cup to be competed for annually by American built flying machines.

Herald Star of March 19, 1907.) BLACK BRIGADE In the Brownsville Affair Eloquently Defended AT QUINN CHURCH. Hon. Harry C. Smith Denied the Charges Brought Against the Black Soldiers—Foraker. Hon. Harry C. Smith, colored, of Cleveland, delivered an eloquent address presenting new and hitherto unpublished facts concerning the "Black Battalion and the Brownsville Affair" in Quinn church on Monday evening. It was an appeal for fairness and against racial prejudice. His strong points brought forth volleys of applause and words of approval as he worked his hearers up to a high pitch. His opening was a demonstration of the department bureaucrats" and the stone wall of prejudice they have built up against deserving colored soldiers. He said after the Spanish war not a colored officer who accepted service in the volunteer service was given promotion and had to go back to the army in lesser rank, while scores who shot at the flag in the civil war were given big positions and promotions. He denied that the "Black Battalion" had a record for "shooting up" towns at the war department stated, the only fuss ever they were in was a shooting up of Indians and the Red men were corrupted as usual. He said when they were assigned to Ft. Brown the people of Brownsville, who were filled with race prejudice, stormed the president and war department to have the order rescinded but failed, and from that SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. day on which the soldiers arrived they were insulted and tainted reproachingly by the citizens of that town. He said that all the facts so far show that not a soldier was in the "shooting up" of the town. That all but three were in the fort, that night and those three established the fact that they were in Mexico that night to the satisfaction of a Texas grand jury and that was wonderful and after so testifying had to be taken to the fort under guard to prevent being lynched. He says all the early and late confessions of soldiers about the matter, sent out from the south are untrue. He said the Associated Press had carried accounts of the matter which were colored by southern prejudice and the daily press published practically nothing of the senate committee on military affairs and after so testifying had to be taken to the people he had volunteered to go out and tell what personal investigation and a thorough reading of reports had shown. He said under the articles of war the soldiers could not have been discharged without honor as a punishment, as the articles of war provide that they must have a court martial. He spoke the race must be grateful to him, in this case his impetuosity was led him, based on a war department war department, to do them an injustice. He paid high to the senator. who he said had alone done things for which the race must be grateful to him, in this case his impetuosity was led him, based on a war department war department, to do them an injustice. He urged the black people to rally to Mr. Foraker's standard aggressively. He said the "shooting up" of Brownville was the shooting up of a saloon near the fort by other saloon men. The soldiers in the Brownville saloons had to drink at "Jim Crow" bars and so they set up an Afro-American in the business where they could drink at the main bar, and his patronage was so great the other saloon men (white) decided to wipe him out. The man got men to defend his place and they worsted the attacking town and then drove the other saloon men (white) out of the parties made it possible for pullets to go over the fort and the attack carried the fight nearer the heart of the town and one saloon man, in the attacking party, was shot and killed at his own back door trying to get in. He said it was physically impossible for the soldiers to have done the shooting, or to have cleaned the guns in the time given, and that the gun racks were only broken open after the officer (Major Penrose) gave the order. He says the autocratic and prejudiced examinations by Blocksom, Darlington and others was a farce. He said the present senate effort or the courts in the future will present the matter right for these men, many of them gray in the honorable service of the United States. He paid a high tribute to the efficacy of "mother's milk" as it has been given by "Black Mammys" to thousands of black and white. He closed by urging the colored race to by good conduct, and censure of the loud-mouthed, and by domestic economy to merit the esteem of all people. After the lecture the speaker held a reception and was congratulated for his splendid presentation of the question.

SOME OHIO POLITICAL HISTORY. ‘The following editorial from the Mansfield (0.) Dally News, Hon. W. S. Cappeliar, a republican leader of this state of many’ years’ standing, edltor, is reproduced because it con- tains 80 much truth and is so perti- nent just at this time: “In view of the open hostilities in certain quarters toward Senator For- aker in Ohio it is admissable for one who has known him for many years, also known something of Ohio polt- Yes by acquaintance as chairman of the republican state committee of 1880 and chairman of the state ex- ecutive committee of 1886, 1887 and 1888 together as an observer and par- ticipant éver since, to indulge in re- trospection from the tailgate of the political wagon. “The Foraker campaigns in Ohio have always been made in the open, which is one of the foremost reasons why he is admired by the rank and file of the party.

[zijn iSite cits Seu ot Cove | CURED OF GraveL. “There's a Samson lying. sleeping in the land, He shail soon awake, and with aveng ing hand, In an all untooked for hour, He will rise in mighty power What dastard can his righteous rage withstand? Ber since the chains were riven at a stroke, E’er since the dawn of Freedom's morning brok, He has groaned, but scarcely uttered. While his patient tongue ne'er mut tered: Though in agony he bore ue galling yoke, ©, what cruelty and torture has he felt? Could his tears, the heart of his op pressors: melt? In his gore, they bathed their hands, Organized and lawless bands— And the innocent were left in blood to welt. The mighty God of Nations doth not sleep, His plereig eye, its faithful waten doth keep, And well-nigh his merey’s spent, To the ungodly lent: “They have sowed the wind, the whirl wind they shall reap.’ From his nostrils issues now the angry smoke, ‘And asunder bursts the all oppres sive yoke; When the prejudicial heel Shall be lifted, we shall feel That the hellish spell surrounding us is broke. The milis are grinding slowly, slowly on, And till the very chaff itself is gone; Our eries for justice louder, “TH oppression’s ground to powder— God speed the day of retribution on!

At this time of year, says a well- known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and pain- ful, annoying Urinary afflictions, It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good preseription phar- macy the following ingredients: Flufd Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, | three ounces, Mix by shaking weil in a bot- tle and take in teaspoonful doses aiter your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all urle acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the “full blood count"—that fs, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is abso- lutely indispensable to perfect health.

Dr. Willianha's Pink Pills Are Safe and Reliable - A Favorite Household A good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago. The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind, and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were tried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful. Motherhood may be the crowning blessing of a woman's life or it may bring grief and sorrow. Mrs. M. J. Wight, of 170-Seventh Street, Auburn, Maine, relates her experience after the birth of her daughter in 1901, as follows: "I was all run down at the time the baby came and did not improve in health rapidly after. I was pale, thin and bloodless. My stomach distressed me being full of gas all the time and my heart fluttered so that I could scarcely breathe. An electric drill machine was even set up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedges, but this was also unsuccessful. The cannon were then taken away and last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond, where an effort was being made to break them open with dynamite again. "Finally I remembered that a friend had recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me so I commenced using them. I gained in strength rapidly while the baby throve also. When I expected my next child I started taking the pills again as a tonic and strengthener and had no such difficulty as before. I got up better and my strength came back much sooner. The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas in 1812. "A year ago last winter I had an attack of riemannism in the hands which wont from one hand to the other. The joints swelled up and were so stiff I could not move them. The pain extended up through my arms and shoulders. I felt sick to go to bed but did not do so. This attack lasted for several months. I tried several remedies but finally came back to using the pills which had done me so much good before and found that they benefited me almost at once. I have not been troubled since." HELPING ALONG HIS MEMORY. Husband Willing to Do His Best to Follow Instructions. Mr. Morse is an undemonstrative man and an absent-minded one as well. In these two respects he is a trial to his wife, who is exactly his opposite. "James," she said as she bade him good-by when he was about to start for Chicago, "will you remember- to hunt up Cousin William and find out all about Aunt Sarah? It is so many years since I've heard from any of that family." All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail post-paid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company Schoenectady, N.

"And do you suppose you will remember to put on your overcoat if the wind changes, so as not to catch one of your dreaded colds?" "Yese, my dear." "And you will try to remember that you have plenty of clean collars, so you needn’t go about looking as if you had no wife to see to you?" "Yes, my dear," said Mr. Morse, as he turned to take in his bag. he, "and to take up my skis." he, "and to take up your shoes, tearfully, "do you suppose you will think of me every day while you are gone and I am here at home?" It would be too bad to decorate your home in the ordinary way, simply because of not knowing you could do it better for less money with Alabastine. Better find out all about Alabastine first, anyway.

She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

Best Violin Strings The best strings for violins are of Italian make and are from the intestines of spring lambs, killed in September. The process of drying and bleaching of the woods and strings by the hot Italian sun, rather than by the artificial method used in other countries, accounts in a great measure for the superior quality of both materials. This intense heat was also the reason for the slow distillation of the oils used by the Italian makers, which always remained at a high temperature, and the varnish, slowly soaking into the woods of the violins beneath the heat of those Italian summers, produced, in part, the mellowness of tone that gives to a Cremona instrument its value, after a lapse of 200 or more years.—March Circle.

We Must Flight & Talking Chicago, Ill.-At the International theatre Monday night the real feature of the occasion was the appearance of Joe Gans and Battling Nelson, who exchanged views from opposite sides of the ring. Gans was wildly cheered, while Nelson was as loudly hissed by the crowd. Gans was the first to arrive, just before the main event, and was called upon for a speech. He responded in a few noncommittal remarks. After the first fall of the main event Nelson strolled upon the stage. Calls for an address brought him to the fore, apparently ignorant that Gans was on the other side of the ring. His first remark was that Nelson had second bout brought forth a storm of hisses, which arose again and again as he proceeded. Gans, who is lightweight champion of the world, declares that unless Battling Nelson comes to terms shortly he will be passed up altogether. Joe says he cannot afford to let some of these tempting offers go begging. "There is only one condition I insist upon," says Gans, "and that is 133 pounds ringside. I will make that weight stripped, without my fighting togs, but it must be ringside. I do not care how the purse is split. Winner take all, 75 per cent and 25 per cent or even break, all look alike to me. I want to fight. I do not like this show business and fighting is the only thing for me. Bat Nelson is not the only fighter in the world and he will soon find that out. I am tired of all this talk." JUST BY THE WAY News Items Boiled Down and Condensed.

This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and.
