THE The FASHIONS HENRY II HAT WASHABLE BLOUSE WALKING GOWNS As we have mentioned before stripes are having it all their own way this season. We meet with them in all the materials. Even tulle and chiffon are now made in stripes, and mousseline de soie is very attractive when striped with satin—more especially, black satin. This is one of the favorite materials of the moment, and very lovely it looks when mounted on a foundation of silver tulle and when worn with a sash of crepe de chine in some vivid shade—such as cerise, emerald, green or lancret-blue. Some of the new gauzes are striped with velvet and a distinct novelty is Indian muslin with cross-bar lines in velvet and in satin. It is quite certain that stripes can be made to make the figure look slender if they are properly manipulated, but they demand a master hand at all times and no woman who weighs more than seven stone should dream of adopting them in any but a perpendicular position. fashion, formed short sleeth the fichu. The hair of this was tied with a tasseled with silver, and to say that it was arranged group of curls. Every head is "running curls" nowadays; and whence there is in the quality luxuries may be realized from that they range in price for cents to dollars. With the advance of a smart tailor-made costume more and more of our interest. Many of the best, made up with charming lit and coatées, heavily braided junction with plain skirts. shown in our illustration is a warm nut brown cloth or quality. The skirt fits close the hips, its sole trimmed stitches of the same ranged in long loops, with most graceful effect in girl Something embroidered is the order with every well-dressed woman, for nothing seemingly is complete without this adornment, and thus fashions seem to insist on the increase of hand labor and a comparative contempt for the assistance of the sewing machine. The latest thing in fanciful embroidery devices is our old friend the bugle. This in crystal or in jet was seen recently in most successful combination with beads of silver following a lace design upon a net foundation. One of the fancies of the moment is to be very long on the shoulders, and many of the loose bodices which overhang the arm in blouse fashion show wide armholes reminiscent of the Chinese outline, with loose sleeves coming through these, overhanging some tight white lace sleeves which fit to the wrist. It is rather difficult to describe this wide armhole, but it extends over the shoulder right into the waist, giving a drooping effect to the figure in a manner becoming alike to the stout and the slim. A good specimen I have met of this type of dress was made of black satin hinson, with the skirt striped from waist to hem with machine-stitched hands of black velvet ribbon, the trimming on the bodice following this idea, while at the neck a small V-shaped piece of ivory lace mounted over chiffon was justified by the under-sleeves to match, which appeared beneath the loose ninon sleeves. Agam, I have found the same sort of bodice with the top half made of white cloth embroidered in silk, the bottom portion being of satin, while the vest was of transparent ivory lace, and the skirt, which was cut on the cross, had broad pointed pieces of white satin put in as exaggerated gussets from knee to hem. Talking of skirts reminds me that some of the new models are made in kits all round the back with the front almost plain, trimmed with two bands of embroidery, and this is quite a good style of skirt if you need one which is to touch the ground, but if you are in favor of a very short skirt, then would I only recommend to your notice the flatly stitched kilted or box-plated skirt, or the tightly-fitting skirt which is cut on the cross. Among other extremely pretty full skirts destined to play their part at a dance, I would applaud one made of white chiffon flowered with monster hydrangeas with a broad hem of mauve silk at the base, the bodice having this hem of silk to outline the armholes which extend to the waist over tight-fitting sleeves of a finely-spotted net, a fabric which again appeared in the front in the form of a vest with pieces of mauve velvet ribbon threaded through it. Another gown which has a full skirt was made of ivory-white satin with the hem bordered with silver galon, which appeared beneath an embroidery of silver roses. The bodice was formed of two pieces of satin on the cross bordered with silver, these being passed over each other in front to tie at the back into a bow with small silver tullees at the ends, and the small vest was made of Brussels lace, while frills of the same, tied handkerchief In Union There is Strength. fashion, formed short sleeves beneath the fichu. The hair of the wearer of this was tied with silver braid tasseled with silver, and it is needless to say that it was arranged in a group of curls. Every head is "running over with curls" nowadays; and what a difference there is in the quality of these luxuries may be realized from the fact that they range in price from a few cents to dollars. With the advance of spring the smart tailor-made costume claims more and more of our interest and attention. Many of the best designs are made up with charming little boleros and coatetes, heavily braided, in conjunction with plain skirts. The one shown in our illustration is made of a warm nut brown cloth of very fine quality. The skirt fits closely round the hips, its sole trimming being stitched bands of the same cloth arranged in long loops, which have a most graceful effect in giving length to the wearer. The coatete has the quintestion little tails at the back and is cut up at the sides, showing the waist-belt of black satin. The whole surface of the coatete and sleeves is thickly braided in fine black braid, while broader bands of braid are placed over the shoulders, and hold the fullness of the sleeve with the widening effect which is so popular for the moment. The coatete fastens single-breasted, with small silver buttons, and points turned back at the waist are of pale turquoise blue velvet, which has a delightful effect on the brown cloth and black braid. The smartness of the costume is greatly enhanced by the high stock of black satin to match the waist-belt. The hat is of nut brown straw, both crown and edge being bound with black satin, while at the side wave three curly quilts of a pale turquoise tint, held by a brooch of pierced oxydized silver work. Its Origin Unknown. What is the origin of the "cock and bull" story? It is the despair of all those who seek to explain this fine old crusted slang of long ago which has managed to persist into present speech, just as we may imagine our present "23" will puzzle a later generation. Brewer, in his "Phrase and Fable," explains it is a corruption of a "concocted and bully story." Evidently recognizing that this is scarcely satisfactory, he prosecuted his researches into bygone religions, dragged up Nergal from the Phoenicians in the representation of a rooster and from the Egyptian Ostris, typified by a bull. From all of which disquisitions it is as clear as may be that no one really knows anything about the story of a cock and a bull. The French have a precisely similar expression in "coq-a-lane, and equally they do not know its origin." New York Sun. Mice Got Drunk. A correspondent writes: In Quetta some years ago I had occasion to go early one morning into a miscellaneous store kept by a Parsi, who also kept a liquor bar. As I entered the shop I noticed a mouse reeling across the floor, and I remarked to the shopkeeper that the mouse seemed to be hurt, but his reply astonished me. He said that that mouse and several others that infested his shop were confirmed drunkards. During the night they regularly drank all the liquor which remained in the glasses which the soldiers had used in the evenings for their drinks.-Madras Times. Doctors Are on Strike. Wimborne (England) guardians recently declined an application by the medical officer of the workhouse for an increase of his salary of $150 yearly, inclusive, so he resigned. It was decided to advertise the appointment at a salary of $125, the guardians to provide appliances and medicines, but the board has received no applications, the medical men of the town having agreed not to apply. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1907. WHO SHOT? White Officers of "The Black Battalion" STAND BY THEM! Lieut. Lawrason and Capt. Macklin. Who Was Shot After the Brownsville Riot. Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.-Lieut. George Cársón Lawrason, of Company B, Twenty-fifth infantry, was again on the stand all of the 25th ntl., in the Brownsville investigation before the senate committee on military affairs. At the afternoon session Lieut. Lawrason told Senator Warner that he had been of the opinion that Fort Brown was attacked by citizens, but the next morning, when he was shown cartridges picked up by Capt. Macklin in the streets of the town, he thought the shooting had been done by soldiers. Later Senator Foraker added the witness if he believed now that the shooting was done by the soldiers, and Lieut. Lawrason said "I think, sir, that it should have been discovered by this time who did the shooting. There has been no direct evidence to fix it on these men, and in view of that the testimony here I cannot say that I think the troops were guilty." Referring to the testimony of court-martial, Senator Foraker called attention to the statement that ten of the cartridges and six cartridges clips in Brownsville were picked up in a circular space about ten inches in diameter. Lieut. Lawrason was asked if the finding of cartridges and clips in that manner would be natural and he replied: "If fired from one gun, not changed position, the clips will fall at the man's feet, but the soldiers will shell for each clip. The shells would be eled to the right of the man, six or eight feet. If found in the circular space indicated, I would think they had been placed there by one one." On cross-examination, Lieut. Lawrason said the firing he first heard on the night of August 13 sounded like high power rifles; that there was no firing after he reached his company, as nearly as he could recollect, and that the company was in great confusion. The shooting, he thought, came from half a dozen or ten rifles. Speaking of the darkness of the night, he said that soldiers could have left the town and entered the town or have entered the town without being detected by the sentinel, if they had chosen a time after the sentinel had passed the barracks. Senator Warner received a copy of resolutions adopted at a mass meeting (white) in Brownsville, urging that a sub-committee be sent there in connection with the investigation being conducted by the senate committee. The resolutions were placed in the record together with a telegram from Senator Culberson also asking that a sub-committee be sent to Brownsville. The testimony of Capt. Edgar A. Macklin, of Company C, Twenty-fifth infantry, was taken by the committee on the 1st. It proved interesting, particularly for the reason that Macklin is to be tried by court-martial after his return to Texas, and for the further reason that he was shot at Fort Reno after our soldiers were taken away from Fort Brown. There is no evidence tending to show that the Brownville riot was responsible for the attack upon him. He does not believe soldiers were guilty of shooting up Brownville. Capt. Macklin said that when the fire occurred on the night of August 13 he was in bed in his quarters, having retired at about 11:50 and was not awakened until 12:55, some time after the firing had ceased. He then joined his company and had charge of the guard for the balance of the night. Early the next morning he made an examination of the garrison to ascertain the effects of the shooting, and, finding no damage there, he went outside the gate, and at the mouth of an alley not far from the garrison he found six shells of the type used for the Spring field rifle. These shells were found in a circular space about ten inches in diameter, which in reply to a question from Senator Foraker, he declared to be the impossible position some one. After testing at length concerning the incidents of the night of August 13, before and after the shooting, Senator Foraker asked Capt. Macklin if he had taken steps to discover who did the shooting. The witness replied that he had done everything questioning of all the men of his command. Senator Foraker then asked the witness to give his opinion as to who did the shooting. Hesitating a moment, Capt. Macklin said: "Well, I don't think the men did it." Afterward he said that in their excitement and confusion the men might have fired a few shots from the barracks, but that he had seen nothing to indicate they had done so, and he could not believe it possible. He described the attitude of his men toward the investigation, and said he had read every line of testimony that has been taken in the various inquiries, and that he is convinced that the firing was not done by the men of the Twenty-fifth infantry. At the afternoon session the witness was cross-examined, principally as to his whereabouts when the shooting occurred and the evidence given by former soldiers that they had been unable to GAZETTE. find the captain in his quarters when Maj. Penrose sent them to arouse him. Capt. Macklin said he did not believe the soldiers had come to his quarters. He said he had a theory as to where the men went to find him, and his attorneys had talked to them about it, and their statement would probably come out when he is tried by court-martial. He was not pressed further on this point. The shells which Capt. Macklin picked up outside the garrison wall were put in his desk, he said, and were forgotten until after the battalion left Fort Brown. Search for them later had been unavailing. He testified that he had told all of the facts connected with the finding of these shells to Maj. Penrose, Mayor Combe, of Brownville, and to Maj. Blockson, inspected of them, because the colonel asked that witness answer only such questions as were to answer them their examination. Chairman Warren questioned Capt. Macklin concerning the attack upon him at Fort Reno after the Brownville警报, when the captain was shot through the head. The witness said that he was in doubt as to who did the shooting. "Offers of my regiment tried to make me believe that the shooting was for the purpose of robbery," he said, "but it is my own theory that it was not." He said that the shooting had been done by a masked Afro-American, but that he knew nothing more concerning it. Corporal Knowles, of Company A, (now the Black Battalion) Twenty-five infiltrators is under arrest charged with having committed the assault, but Capt. Macklin said that the evidence against Knowles is purely circumstantial Knowles was not garrisoned at Brownville. The examination of Capt. Macklin was concluded, but he has not been discharged as a witness. In our letter next week we will give the testimony of Capt. Lyon, (white) which will disclose facts as to who really did do the shooting in Brownville on the night of Aug. 13, 1906. The opponent, very much interesting testimony, will be given in the next few issues of The Gazette. REKAROF. 'THE BLACK BATTALION' Senator Foraker Almost Idolized—The Lecture a Grand Success—Social, Personal and Church Notes. FORAKER & ROOSEVELT. They Represent the Two Factions of the Republican Party—Brownsville Order Fight in the Senate Opening of Famous Campaign. Washington, D. C.—Since our last letter the 59th congress has become a thing of the past. It did at least one good act for the colored people of the country and for the course of their equal treatment and freedom. It instituted an inquiry through the committee on military affairs of the senate into the facts connected with the Brownsville affray, and it did this against the strenuous opposition of the president. The debate in the senate on this subject, extending over a period of about six weeks of the short session of the 59th congress, must forever remain memorable in the parliamentary history of the government. For it revived in no small measure the glories of the days of Sumner and Wilson and Wade, of Conkling and Morton and Hoar. There were giants, intellectual and moral, in those old glorious days of the senate, and during the six weeks of the great Brownsville debate giants again appeared struggling for mastery on its floor, for and against the cause of an oppressed race in the pursuit, in the rights and wrongs of 167 members of that race. And out of the fierce [Name] struggle there has risen a champion of the weak, a champion of those 167 colored soldiers, a champion who measures up well to the tall stature, intellectual and moral, of the tallest of those earlier giants of senatorial leadership and debate in the great cause of human freedom and equality before the law. That champion is the senior senator from Ohio, Joseph Benson Foraker. God alone knows what the future has in store for this great man of power and achievement the house large and talented to the political horizon of the republic, has today a shining place among the three or four most powerful party leaders in the nation. This is what the last session of the 59th congress has done for the colored people in general and for Senator Foraker in particular. And it is a thing fraught with possibilities which no man, however wise and farseeing he may be, can adequately grasp or bound. The making of history is enfolded within it, and mighty important history at that. It is first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Watch the seed of this act of the last congress germinate and passage through its three stages of development between now and the summer of 1908 the will see what it shall see in relation to this subject. We say this thus confidently, although having no claim to the gift of prophecy, being neither a prophet nor yet the son of a prophet, but we are confident, all the same, that what we have said will in due time come to pass.

As a result, the matter will probably be taken up with President Roosevelt in the near future. Altogether there are about 80 architects employed in the draughting department and they will doubtless get a reply to that petition that will "hold them for awhile."

Answers His Former Partner's Recent Statement in The Gazette—Real Cause of Disc- solution. "The Black Battalion" Lecture. Mansfield, Q.—The announcements that the editor of The Gazette would lecture at National union hall on Saturday night and speak in the A. M. E. church at 3 p. m. Sunday on "The Influence of the Christian Religion" and at night on "Domestic Economy" served to attract large audiences to both places at all three services. Our people here are delighted and were most agreeably surprised not only as the result of the thoroughness with which the editor of The Gazette handled his subjects, but also as a result of the mass of information of a most encouraging and helpful nature they received. On Saturday evening the audience was roused to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and at the close of the lecture on "The Black Bat Battles" were moved to meet and greet Mr. Smith. Rev. E. Simmons' three-night bazaar and rally which the lecture closed was a grand success and the church greatly benefited as result. All who assisted him are entitled to a great deal of credit, including Mrs. Simmons, who is second only to the pastor in her aggressive efforts to support and promote the interests of the church. While here Mr. Smith was their guest, leaving Monday evening for Mr. Vernon, where he also lectured that evening. We hope to have him with us again soon. Antioch Baptist Church After nearly two months of suspense, due to the notice given by the pastor, Rev. H. C. Bailey, of his resignation, the official board met in conference with the pastor to inquire into reasons, if any, leading up to the giving of notice. After due investigation the deacons found ample reasons for grievances, and in their report to the monthly business meeting brought in their recommendation and agreed with the pastor, who agreed to recall his notice to the church of his resignation providing the church in its business session voted to support him in his work and to maintain the proper church decorum. After some debate as to the meaning of discipline by which the church was to be governed, the vote was called for and it was unanimously decided to retain our present pastor, H. C. Bailey. After which Rev. Bailey, in a heart to talk, told of the reasons of his discomfiture and thanked the members for their manifested loyalty in offering him and the cause he represented their unbiased support, and then began to outline future plans for the continuance of his work. What Sec. Taft "Winks" At! The plain truth of the matter is that the Afro-American people have lost all of the citizen rights in certain states of the republic and all standing and influence in politics by a blind support of the republican party. The only way that they can regain what they have lost is to break away from the republican party and teach it at the ballot box that if they can get along without them they can get along without it. The republican party is not what it was in policy or in leadership. It has done nothing for the Afro-American people in its national administration since 1875 but to leave them alone, to be despoiled by their enemies. THE GAZETTE.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896 1896 to 1898 1906 to 1902 Cleveland, Saturday, April 13, 1906. 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. This is very encouraging: Among the twenty-eight citizens of Pittsburg recently selected by that city's Chamber of Commerce for its honor roll was our greatest artist, painter, Henry O. Tanner, a son of Bishop B. T. Tanner, of the A. M. church and former editor of The Christian Recorder. The chamber banqueted those of the twent-eight who were able to be present and other friends. Mr. Tanner resides in Paris, France. The Gazette congratulates Antioch Baptist church on the excellent judgment it shows in refusing to accept the resignation tendered some weeks ago by its pastor, and we also congratulate its membership on its determination to retain him at all hazards. Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey is a thorough race man, exceptionally loyal, intelligent, able and progressive, and our people of this community, regardless of church affiliation, or otherwise, cannot afford to lose him. He is a positive force for race uplift, especially locally, and is the peer of any of our Cleveland ministers, and most of those of the other race—the superior of many of these latter. Let Antioch's membership insist upon his loyal support from now on and that splendid old church will progress along all lines as never before, and it has done exceedingly well as it is. More power to Dr. Bailey and Antioch! ANDREW WHITE'S ALLEGED ROT On his arrival in New York City last Sunday from the West Indies, Dr. Andrew D. White, former ambassador to Germany and a leading educator, according to the southern sympathizing Associated Press' dispatches to Monday's papers, delivered himself of the following alleged interview: "For years there have been those who wished to annex Cuba to our republic," said Dr. White. "There, I think, lies our great danger. "I must confess to a great dread of seeing what would really be a great Negro state, utterly incapable of self-government, made a part of our system. Everything I saw in Cuba strengthens my conviction that Cuba as a state would be a curse to us, simply a vast rotten borough with a small number of wealthy capitalists in the midst of an expansive Negro population utterly incompetent to govern themselves, to say nothing of aiding to govern the United States. "I am in favor of setting up the Cuban government, not only this time, but again and again, 70 times if necessary, sooner than making it a partner of our national system." Less than one-third of the population of Cuba are Negroes and Dr. White must know this. That is one reason at least why we cannot help referring to the rot as an alleged interview. Then, too, we hope, for Cuba's sake, that anxiation with this country will never come, because of its contemptable American race and color prejudice against our people. There is no danger of any considerable number of Cubans ever favoring annexation, we know. The only thing to be feared is that American capitalists in Cuba and here may be successful in promoting it in some way unseen at present. BROWNSVILLE INVESTIGATION. Soon after the senate committee on military affairs began its investigation of the Brownville riot, the Washington (D. C.) Daily Star said: "We need not go farther than these few men to illustrate the injustice of the president's order. If at a later day, from the testimony of other witnesses, the guilty are uncovered, well and good. But here are men who stand the fate of able lawyers, tell with every appearance of sincerity all they know and acquire themselves creditably, and yet, by the president's command, are outside the breastworks. Mr. Foraker's resolution so far as they are concerned has proved a boon of the greatest value. When the military committee of the senate reports on this case debate will be in order on its adoption and the interest of deliverances of mutual interest, it would be able to deny that the episode has taken on a political complexion, but its real value and significance are far above politics." Since the above Star excerpt was written scores of witnesses, soldiers and civilians, black and white, and even Mexicans, have been examined under oath, and a wealth of testimony showing the entire innocence of the members of the "Black Battalion" secured. No damaging testimony has been produced. Something really remarkable. Indeed their most sanguine friends have been agreeably surprised as a result. Senators Lodge, Warren, Warner, Overman and other members of the committee anxious to root-up anything in the shape of testimony that would even in part justify President Roosevelt's too harsh and drastic discharge without honor order, have up to date failed, and signally, too. So has their aggressive assistant, Secretary of War Taft, who has used all the power at his and the president's command, including experts of all kinds connected with the war department, to secure damaging evidence or testimony. The prejudiced inhabitants of Brownville, Tex., have done their worst and still continue their despicable efforts. But without results, thus far, thank the Lord and our good and great friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, the prince of brilliant statesmen, jurists and humanitarians. Yes, indeed, there certainly will be "something doing" when the committee on military affairs makes its report on the "Brownville affray" to the U. S. senate this fall. Senator Foraker will surely make the sparks fly. "The Black Battalion." Dayton, O.-Monday evening is being looked forward to by our people of this city, because of the editor of The Gazette's coming lecture at Eaker Street A. M.

The splendid success of the lecture in Painesville, Cadiz, Smithfield, Steubenville, Mansfield and Mt. Veronan has made our people here doubly anxious to hear it. Then, too, they appreciate the grand work for our people of Ohio Mr. Smith did when a member of the legislature in 1894, 1896 and 1900, in passing the Ohio civil rights and the Ohio anti-lynching laws.—Leave your order with the agent for The Gazette.

It seems to me that with the multiplication of books we are losing all sense of literature. Leisure and three books, a Bible, a Shakespeare, a Walt Whitman, might make a man truly wise if the seeds of wisdom were in him. I do not know even a wise man whose instinct for wisdom would not be deadened by the frequentation of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books should be taken in doses no bigger than music or pictures; they are even harder to digest. There is more drunkenness in a book than in all the vineyards of France. A book may remake a man's soul. Books should be treated with reverence or cast out as dirt. They are in danger of passing out of the service of the temple into the "parcel delivery" of the grocer. Nothing is gained by reading a book unless you give to that book more than it brings to you. All these people who read with their eyes only are fatally wasting their time. A book read superficially makes the reader more superficial, and to read for "information" is to gnaw at the bones of meat.—Arthur Symonds in London Saturday Review. CARE OF THE SICK ROOM. Above All Things the Walls Should Be Kept Dry. When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why extreme precautions should be used to keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and alry in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day. If there is any suspicion of dampness in a bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a blotting paper and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, ill health and unhappiness. It is frequently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infection of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the alabastined wall is a perfect wall. It never flakes off, chips or peels. It absorbs moisture and expels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable. The floor in the bedroom should have light, cleanable, dainty rusps that can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bedroom should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly varnished or waxed, and the window casings kept in perfect order. The doors should be wiped off frequently as also should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping.

The Gazette gives you all the race news the country over every week—not a lot of paper. paper—the "Old Reliable Gazette," and telling your Friends and acquaintances to do likewise. Have you kept posted on the Brownsville, Tex., controversy? Experience demonstrates that it is not the "big Negroes" who support the enterprises of the race, but the hard-working, unassuming masses. The common people are the salt of the earth. Lincoln once said: "Lord Almighty must have loved the common people best, for He made so many of them."-Indianapolis Freeman. William H. Clifford, now a clerk in the departments at Washington, D.C., on a smaller salary than he received when filling a somewhat similar position in the local federal service, has asked the courts of the District of Columbia for a dissolution of the partnership existing between him and James Rodgers (a former undertaker of this city), on the ground that their undertaking business in Washington is a losing proposition. Judging from the press reports of the Brownsville defame affair, the famous Twenty-fifth U. S. troops are as brave on the witness stand as they are before the enemies' guns, and are scoring victory after victory for the innocent, but heroic men. Truth of course must ultimately win out, all the brighter by virtue of it's hard experience. Senator Foraker is the real hero in the battle for justice for the veteran troops.-Baltimore Guide. Who shot up Brownville, the Mexican greasers, who seem most to inhabit it, or the black soldiers, whose lives were made a burden by the enemy through the mouths of the stinking sink? The senator committee on military affairs, which is investigating the incident, has so far outlawed no evidence that does not seem to show that the soldiers did not do it. If this should be the verdict, what will become of the president's order of discharge?—N. Y. Age. Two propositions have been submitted to the trustees. St. John's church: One for property on the northeast corner of Central avenue and Newton street, 138 feet on Central avenue to a 12-foot alley, (east) and an average depth on Newton street, back to the alley of 125 feet. All this for $17,500. On this proposition is a number of residences besides a brick building, which is particularly well adapted for use as a parsonage. The other proposition is the one on the northwest corner of Case and Central avenues. A little over 103 feet on Central avenue and 135 feet on Case avenue. This has a 12-foot alley on the west end of the property. There are four residences on this property, any one of which would make an excellent resonance. It can be had with both of the buildings. Both of these propositions are infinitely preferable to the Cedar-Sterling avenue property and much cheaper. Mr. Andrew McSpadden, private Fourteenth Rhode Island heavy artillery during the war of the rebellion, wrote The Gazette on Monday: "By invitation I was present at the annual inspection of Company D, the local company of the Ninth battalion (infantry) Ohio national guard, at Central armory, Friday evening, April 5. The inspection was very satisfactory. The men were exceptionally neat in appearance and their arms and accountments showed excellent care. The men also showed a high state of proficiency. Their appearance and bearing at review and inspection and their steadiness and behavior was very encouraging indeed. The uniforms were also neat and well fitting.

KINK·NE Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great tonic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world." SPECIAL OFFER—To prove the quality and superiority of our goods over all others, we will sell one full-size bottle of Kink-ine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 25 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

Convincing Evidence Supported by a Guarantee That Must Convince The Most Skeptical. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a doctor's prescription, used by an eminent practitioner, and for nearly a generation known as a reliable household remedy throughout the United States. Needless to say, no advertised medicine could retain popular favor for so long a period without having great merit and it is the invaluable curative properties of the pills that have made them a standard remedy in every civilized country in the world. Added to this is the absolute guarantee that the pills contain no harmful drug, opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent evidence that the efficacy is found in the statement of Mrs. N. B Whitley, of Boxley, Ark. who says "I had suffered for a good many years from stomach trouble. For a long time I was subject to bad spells of faintness and lack of breath accompanied by an indescribable feeling that seemed to start in my stomach. Whenever I was subject to bad spells of over-tired, these spells would come on and I suffered frequently but did not last very long. "I was confined to my bed for ten weeks one time and the doctor pronounced my trouble chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels. Since that time I have been subject to the fainting spells and at other times to furrowed heart and a feeling as though I was moaning. My general health was very bad and I was weak and trembling. "I had seen Dr. Williams' Pink Pills mentioned in the newspapers and decided to try them. When I began taking the pills I was so run-down in strength that I could hardly do any housework. How I could talk ten miles if necessary. How I could speak myself think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the best medicine made and we always recommend the pills to our friends." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood and give strength and tone to every part of the body. They have mured serious disorders of the blood and nerves, such as rheumatism, sciatica, anemia, nervousness, headaches, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' many forms of weakness in either sex, all drugists or will be sent, postpaid, of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenected, N.

Jack Farland, a ranchman living at the base of Pike's Peak, and whose post office is Midland, in this county, yesterday suffered a broken leg by being caught between a horse which he was riding and a timber wagon which he was attempting to pass while en route to this city, says the Cripple Creek Times. Farland displayed the greatest of pluck by riding on to Victor after suffering the injury, although he said upon arriving here that he felt several times that he must give up. Knowing, however, what difficulty would attend any attempt to dismount, and how well nigh impossible it would be for him to remount in the event that he succeeded in getting safely off his horse, the ranchman gritted his teeth and kept on. After having his leg set by a surgeon of this city, Farland collapsed and it was late in the afternoon before he was able to proceed homeward in a carriage, the accident having happened early in the morning. SLEEP BROKEN BY ITCHING. Eczema Covered Whole Body for a Year—No Relief Until Cuticura Remedies Prove a Success. "For a year I have had what they call eczema. I had an itching all over my body, and when I would retire for the night it would keep me awake half the night, and the more I would scratch, the more it would itch. I tried all kinds of remedies, but could get no relief. "I used one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura, and two vials of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, which cost me a dollar and twenty-five cents in all, and very am glad I tried them, for I was completely cured. Walter W. Paglusch, 207 N. Robey St., Chicago, Ill., Oct. 8 and 16, 1906." A Police Force of Widows The Ghent communal council have a proposal before them to include women in the police force.

Illegal to Fish and Sleep The Pennsylvania superior court has decided that it is illegal to fish with umbrella ribs and sleigh bells, in reversing a decision by Judge Endlich, of the Berks court. The case has been watched by fishermen all over the state. Some months ago Henry J. Humma and Harry Kinney were discharged by Justice of the Peace Prutzmian, of Birdsboro, from arrest on the charge of illegal fishing brought by Fish Warden Nesley, of Pottstown. An appeal was taken to the Berks court, which upheld the magistrate. The commonwealth then appealed to the superior court. The defendants used umbrella ribs attached to which were sleigh bells which rang when they had a bite. In this way they were able to doze while fishing. The superior court in its decision declares the device to be illegal. Surgery's Great Benefits.

WOMAN HAS FINE RECORD Keeper of Lighthouse, She Has Saved Eighteen Lives. Ida Lewis recently celebrated her fiftieth year as keeper of the Lime island lighthouse in the harbor of Newport, R. L. As a girl and woman ida Lewis has lived a remarkable life. Her bravery and skill in handling a boat are well known and her fame is secure as the great woman life saver in the world, for she has the credit of having saved no less than 18 lives, most of her rescues having been effected in the face of extreme danger and in winter. As keeper of the Lime island lighthouse, to which post she was appointed in recognition of her bravery and record as a life saver on the death of her father, Miss Lewis has shown herself as careful and efficient as a man could be. She is one of the few women in such a position. SARSAPARILLA TIME Make Your Own Sarsaparilla or Spring Blood Medicine.

Everyone should take something to cleanse the blood at this time of year, and the above simple prescription is the most highly indorsed of the hundreds of home remedies generally used. Mix this yourself, then you will know what you are taking. WOMEN IN NEW FIELDS British Smart Society Takes to "Hopping"—Woman Veterinary. Work in the hop fields is the latest "rest cure" fad for London's smart set, and the luxurious society "hoppers" claim that a week's hopping is far better and more pleasant than a rest at any well-known health resort. The tents of these well-to-do pickers are expensively furnished, and easy chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camping outfits are among their hopping appliances. In Berlin there is a woman veterinary surgeon who is an official inspector of animals. She rides through the streets on the lookout for animals suffering from any disablement, and before reporting a horse as unfit for work, she examines its injuries and whenever possible applies remedies to alleviate its pain. She carries a leather case filled with bandages and other surgical appliances. Day of Guillotine Ended Since the prison of La Rochette, where the French guillotine used to be kept, has been pulled down, the machine of death has been kept in a shed belonging to the state executioner. Since there is no place in Paris where it seems desirable to put up the guillotine, no more executions take place there. The president of the republic gets around the difficulty by commuting the death sentence to imprisonment. FIND OUT The Kind of Food That Will Keep You Well. The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass. woman writes: "I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first following directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested. "But its most special, personal benefit has been a substitute for meat, and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to give up the 'coffee habit.' "Served in this way with the addition of a cup of hot water and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my comfort."

How to Tell if Your Kidneys Are Diseased. One of the first symptoms of Kidney trouble is a slight pain in the small of the back; also a frequent desire to urinate, especially an night. A simple test of your urine will show if you have other bad symptoms, viz.: Place some urine in a glass number and allow it to testate twenty-four hours, if there is disease, you will discover a sediment, or a milky, cloudy appearance, or particles afloat. If you have any of these symptoms it shows disease and demands treatment at once. Kidney disease must not be trifled with, but can be cured if taken in time by using Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, which removes the cause and stops any further trouble. 40,000 Drug Stores sell Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy—have been sel- remedy which has stood the test of time like this deserves be- bring you the relief and cure you seek and now is the ti- acting today you guard against fatal delay.
