THE AT FASHION'S SHRINE 1900 The HOME DRESSMAKER As was predicted, the black and white stripe is first favorite among dress goods, especially when it bears a smooth surface, the black being broken by the white, the white clear. One of the prettiest models in this has a kilted skirt with bands of the stripe cut horizontally, together with a short coat having the wide sleeves and a turned-down collar of embroidery tied with a silk tie. The wide sleeves are the distinguishing feature of the season, either cut in one with the coat, or put in separately, they appear on every jacket, and, besides these, I would note as a most prominent fancy, tassels. These, small and long, depend from tunics and sleeves, and hoods and corners of capes. Another fancy is the glace coat made in black and worn with a checked skirt, and again I have noticed a tendency to adopt coat and skirt of different shades of one color, light grey and dark grey, light biscuit, and brown being perhaps the most successful of such combinations. There is no diminution to the favor being accorded to the blouse and skirt 188 FOR THE SPRING of the lingerie description, these having been placed within the possibilities of the multitude. A pretty shape of coat rounds from the front to a tail at the back, and there is much attention being paid to the short jacket which has a seam just above the waist and a kilt to reach this. The sacs have a very modified fulness, and a little mantle which deserves admiration being neither exactly a coat, nor yet a domino, but yet possessing virtues belonging to The HOME DE 1 Pale Blue Cloth Costume, with White Vest and Black Velvet Buttons. There has not been a season in many a long year when we could so aptly say that old things had passed both is the last figure in an illustration. This is made of dull blue fine cloth, and trimmed with bands of Chinese embroidery, and it bears many tassels of mixed colors at the corners. The dress in the center is of cloth with embroidered lawn collar and cuffs, it might be well achieved in dull pink and crowned with a hat to match, and trimmed with a mass of red roses. The first picture—which I have, in no spirit of contradiction, but by mere accident, kept to the last—is of dull green cloth trimmed with copper and oxidised braid, and I would have it for its best success crowned with a black hat encircled with green and brown ostrich feathers. I note that, while the short skirt is a recognized favorite, it is never permitted to do duty on festive occasions; for this, the skirts are cut to touch the grpund and cling closely round the hips and bear a measure offulness at the back, a graceful order of affairs. The Japanese outline remains conspicuous on evening cloaks and traveling cloaks, and tassels are indispen L. R. sable decorations to these, which are, however, invested, with complete indifference to tradition, with a distinct waist-line, the Japanese effect being mainly retained by the shape of the sleeves. Fashion, indeed, is a tale of sleeves, and the garments of yester-year may at once be distinguished by these; unless, of course, such garments happen to have been the property of the fortunate few who, by always buying in the most expensive markets, often manage to forestall fashion. away. Old materials, old colors, old ideas may still be used, but they must enter into calculation rather as accessories to be a combination with new suggestions than as a whole. The spirit of change is abroad in the land, and it makes itself felt nowhere more potently than in dress. We may wear last season's clothes, but not as they were, and to the economically inclined this must be a season of pure delight, for the old things never lent themselves so adaptably to refurbishing as now, and here the popular silks are their salvation. It is the exception when a gown of silk itself is not trimmed with a silk of another weave, if not of a different color. Taffeta is used rather for ornamental purposes than as entire costumes, except in black, which is as popular as ever. The majority of silks are figured, yet plain weaves are, strictly speaking, just as good. Satin duchese, which has been on the market for many anos, is heralded as a novelty for coat suits, and those of its construction are indeed very smart. For this purpose, both colors and black are in tuscan. Tuscan, shantung, tussah, rajah, and mirage, all are popular for day and evening costumes, for coat suits, for formal or informal occasions, for separate coats or for entire suits. They require but little trimming, drape gracefully, wear well, and altogether possess those qualities which go to make up a satisfactory spring fabric. The mother of the king of Portugal is said to have been bankrupted through her passion for dress. The king has virtually banished her to Italy. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1:0. WOULD KNOW That They Were Not Telling the Truth, SAID LIEUT. BLYTH To Senator Overman — Penrose O'Neil, Harbold, Blyth and Leckie, White Officers, Testify for "The Black Battalion"—Foraker. Special to The Gazette. Washington, D.C.—After Maj. Chas, W. Penrose, who was commander of the troops at Brownsville, completed his testimony on the 4th, the senate committee on military affairs examined two of the officers who made tests at Fort McIntosh to determine whether it was possible to distinguish between white, Negro and Mexican soldiers* wearing uniforms on moonlight or starlight nights. The conclusion of these officers was that such a thing is impossible. They asserted that in making their tests they made the conditions as near as possible like the conditions were said to be at Brownsville on the night of the shooting. Maj. Penrose having testified that on the morning following the shooting he believed his men were guilty, but that he was now convinced they were innocent, was asked: "Could you change your opinion on the question of whether your men had been implicated in the shooting?" "At about the conclusion of my court-martial two weeks ago," replied Maj. Penrose. Responding to a request that he state what fact caused him to reach the belief that his men were innocent, the major said that few witnesses had been able to state to his satisfaction that they had seen soldiers in town during the shooting. He said that witnesses attempted to tell distances at which they recognized soldiers and distinguished uniformed men, which he declared to be absolutely impossible on that night, as it was very dark. The major added to this explanation that his mind had been undergoing a change for some time before. In reply to a question by Senator Scott, the major said that he could conceive of no motive for soldiers to "shoot up" the town, and then replying to a question by Senator Warner, he said neither could he conceive of a motive for citizens of Brownville to "shoot up" their own town. Concerning the Springfield shells found in the town inside the morning following the shooting, Maj. Penrose said he took two of them in his hand, and they looked as if they had been exploded recently, although he had not made an examination with a view to determining when the shells had been exploded. A great deal of testimony has been offered to show that it was possible these shells might have been taken to Brownville from target practice at Fort Niobrara. Lieut. Robert P. Harbold, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, testified concerning tests at Fort McNitosh, to determine whether it was possible to distinguish between white, Negro, or Mexican men in khaki uniforms on clear nights by having them pass between houses and street lamps 35 feet away. From careful examinations made by a number of officers and a squad of men under all sorts of conditions, Lieut. Harbold gave it as his opinion that it was impossible to so distinguish between races, even on nights so clear that typewritten characters could be distinguished in a letter held in one's hand. He also testified at some length concerning the difficulty in tracing the course of bullets by sighting through one or more bullet holes, and that it was equally difficult to determine the location from which the bullet was fired. Lient James Blyth, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, testified concerning the tests at Fort McIntosh, corroborating the testimony of Maj. J. O'Neill and Lieut. Harbold. He told a visit to Brownsville in March last, in the interest of Maj. Penrose's defense. He said that the conditions under which the examination was conducted at Fort McIntosh were similar to conditions at Brownsville on the night of August 13 last, so far as the ability of persons to distinguish the race of men seen in the streets wearing khaki uniforms. On cross-examination he was asked by Senator Overman, of North Carolina, if ten respectable citizens of Brownsville were to come here and say they saw soldiers running through the streets on the night of the shooting affray, firing as they ran, whether he would think they were telling the truth. The witness replied that he would know now that they couldn't be. It developed that Blyth went to Brownsville and registered there under an assumed name, and conducted his examination without taking the citizens of Brownsville into his confidence. The proper thing to do. Lieut. Blyth examined bullet holes in several houses, and said that one of those pointed out in the Garza house he thought to be a nail hole. At the conclusion of his testimony an adjournment was taken for the day. Two witnesses were heard at the April 5th session. Maj. O'Neill, formerly of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who ordered the tests for recognizing soldiers in the dark and for the deflection of bullets, and Lieut. Harry G. Lockle, who made an investigation of the lodged bullets in the Brownville houses. Before the committee adjourned Senator Foraker announced that any of the witnesses still in Washington who had not been called could return to their homes, and that upon the reassembling of the committee early in May, if their evidence was needed in rebuttal, they would then be called. When the committee meets the first witnesses will be some 20 of the residents of Brownville, who have given testimony that they recognized the party which shot up the town as soldiers. Whether the committee will visit Brownville will be determined after these witnesses have been heard. Senator Foraker maintains that every bit of testimony given thus far is favorable to the discharged battalion. He places much reliance upon the evidence of the white officers who have been on the stand the last week and ten days, and have expressed the firm belief and conviction that the shooting was not by any of their men. The testimony offered by the officers is of great importance and significance, as it required moral courage of a high order for these officers to give testimony of that character, when they might unfavorably affect their future career. In this connection it may be purpose of Senator Foraker to purpose officially why and by what right the court-martial that recently tried MaJ. Penrose incorporated in its verdict the declaration that the battalion had been the town. The court was convened for the purpose ascertaining whether the commanding officer of the battalion, was derelict in his duty on the night of August 13, and it acquitted him. It supplemented its verdict, however, by the statement that the boxcalion had committed the outrage upon the town of Brownville. Mr. Foraker asserts that it was unprecedented in military annals for a court-martial to report a verdict of guilty against an organization under such circumstances. He says the court had absolutely no right to declare the battalion guilty without going through even the formality of a hearing and according the members of the three companies a chance to be heard. Before the Brownville inquiry is ended it is quite likely that the officers composing the court-martial will be called upon an explanation of their action. Good! Rah! for Foraker.

OF RACE INTEREST This problem, which is made so difficult by the social dislike of the two races in our country, must be solved and will be solved. A clear conception of the mental and physical status of each of the two races, and an acknowledgment of the fact that there is no evidence of a decided mental inferiority of the Negro, must be the foundation of our endeavors.—Prof. Boas in Van Norden Magazine for April. It would be an interesting discussion to recite the facts bearing on the question, and present the arguments to show whether or not the 14th and 15th amendments were ever legally adopted. Suffice it for this article to say that there are very many facts which can be presented to prove that they were not thus adopted. While that question has never been seriously raised, it may in time reach the dignity of a national issue, for the simple reason that the amelioration of conditions and the just and proper settlement of this great question imends the derogation of those amendments or the modification, and it is only necessary to mention the difficulty of obtaining such action to make the view of their illegality and the greater ease and facility with which that issue might be settled an excuse for preferring that method to the other.—Senator Tillman in Van Norden magazine, April. It remains truq that at the time of discovery, when primitive people of all other continents were still in the stone age, and did not know how to reduce and smelt metals, but at best hammered nuggets of copper or other pure metals into tools and ornaments, the iron industry was found all over the African continent. The work of the blacksmith of the interior, wherever the country is uncontaminated by white influence, excites our admiration even now. Beautiful symmetrical lance-blades are made, and axes of filigree are decorated with elaborate filigree and inlaid with copper or other metals. The work of industry in Africa reached its highest development on the Guinea coast, where the palace of the King of Benin was decorated by bronze castings which in boldness of form and difficulty of execution challenge the work of our most skilled artisans.—Prof Franz Boas. Left Us $1,000,000. Philadelphia, Pa.—A gift of $1,000,000 for the establishment of a fund for rudimentary schools for southern Afro-Americanes was announced here Sunday evening. The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Quakerer of this city, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute, and Hollis B. Frissell, president of Hampton institute, are named as trustees of the fund, but neither of the institutions they represent will share in the gift. The income of the million dollars is to be used for the sole purpose of assisting in the "Southern United States community country and rural schools for the great class of Negroes to whom the small rural and community schools are alone available." Messrs. Washington and Frissell are empowered to appoint a board of trustees in connection with the fund and the Pennsylvania company for insurances on lives and granting annuities, of this city, will act as fiscal agent for the trustees. Miss Jeanes is about 80 years of age and comes from an old and wealthy family that has been prominent for more than a century in the Society of Friends. She has long been interested in the welfare of the Afro-American and has been a contributor to our educational institutions. Gave a Dance. Mt.

Smith, editor of The Gazette, was in the city last Saturday and held over an hour's conference with Senator Foraker in the foreoon. He was the mayor of the city, Allister street, while here and left for Dayton, Springfield, Columbus and Zanesville Saturday evening. The above is an excellent portrait of the Cleveland Caterers' Stag club third annual "Lincoln birthday" dinner, a full account of which was given in the local columns of The Gazette. Mr. Luther Johnson, "the king of local caterers," who is shown in the picture as standing immediately under the clock, presided, with the editor of The Gazette, who is seated in front of him, a little to his right, as honor guest for the third time. This dinner is the sweliest social function given by our people of the "Forest City," and will compare favorably with the great majority of similar affairs given by the wealthiest people of the community. With the exception of the honor guest, only members of the Stag club, all of whom are members of the Cleveland Caterers' association, are guests at the annual dinners. COL. A. T. BRINSMADE Takec a Dirty Sheet to Task for its Malicious and Scurrillous Attacks on Senator Foraker. Editor Leader: As a republican, and as a friend of Senator Foraker, I wish to enter a protest against the attacks made upon him by your paper. In my judgment they are unwarranted, uncalled for, and unjust. I am as good a friend of Secretary Taft as any who are now espousing his cause, but am unwilling that, in their zeal in Secretary Taft's behalf, and in their haste to climb into the "band wagon" (as the phrase goes) they shall attempt to belittle the name and fame of Senator Foraker, the latchet of whose shoes many of these men are unworthy to unloose. COL. ALLAN T. BRINSMADE. For Senator Foraker, always a good citizen, a brave soldier, the eminent judge, the excellent governor of our great state for two terms, and the eminent statesman that he has proved himself to be, now to be made the target for the arrows of vituperation and slander is without sense or reason. Yet he wears the impregnable armor of integrity, honor and wise statesmanship, and, with a conscience as clear as the noonday sun, these arrows hurtless fall. Honored and respected by his colleagues in the senate, he has shown himself to be the peer of any member, and has gained a national reputation as a brilliant lawyer, orator and statesman. Ready, forcible and brilliant in debate those will attest that have crossed swords with him in that august body—the senate. They have found in him "a foeman worthy of their steel." Yet we find a second Joshua, at a grand banquet, and another judge in an adjoining county, stripped of the judicial ermine and trampling upon it in their haste to be bellied and besmirch the fame of a great senator. It would be well for such gentlemen to remember that. Senator Foraker has thousands upon thousands of friends in this state who place the stamp of disapproval upon the attempts to advance the interests of another man in a vain endeavor to relegate Senator Foraker to the rear. I have no words of disparagement for Secretary Taft. He is a brilliant man, and would adorn any station to which he might be called by the voice of the people or by appointment by president. He is a worthy son of a woman of honor, and no republican denies but that, as the magistrate of this nation, he would safe man, an honor to himself, to his party and to the nation. But we should not attempt to strike another man down of at least equal ability, because one's preference lies in another direction, especially if that other man has been and is now the pride of the republicans of this state and has honored his state as its governor and in the national congress. It is said that Senator Foraker has had the temerity, upon one or two occasions, to entertain different views from our worthy president upon some important questions. Did he not have the right so to do, if, in his judgment, the president was on the wrong track? We do not subscribe to the doctrine that "the king can do no wrong," but do believe that the representatives in the national congress should act as their judgment and conscience dictate. Our esteemed congressman, Mr. Burton, has thus acted, and on one or more occasions contrary to the expressed wish of the president. We do not condemn him. On the contrary, we crowded him, figuratively, with laurel wreaths and say, "Stand by your honest convictions." Why not say the same to Senator Foraker? Should a man, because he has honest convictions and has the courage not to hesitate in avowing them, be condemned? Far from it. As a matter of course, one well understands that your local political man, and Washington and Columbus correspondents, have their positive or implied instructions to interview persons who are supposed to be somewhat antagonistic to Senator Foraker. But I apprehend that if you can get at the bottom facts as to the statements "of a well known leader," we would ascertain that a personal and political grievance is generally back of their utterances. The disappearance of affliction—or for himself or friend—now finds the opportunity to air his alleged grievances by attacking a man whose influence he asked. In conclusion, permit me to ask that instead of giving the initials, can you not give the full name of the individual who attacks Senator Foraker, so that the citizens of this or that place may judge the reason of the attack. I have been a constant subscriber for your paper for nearly a half century, but I do not subscribe to your attacks upon Senator Foraker. ALLAN T. BRINSMADE. Roosevelt, Taft and Third Term Roosevelt, Taft and Third Term. While President Roosevelt has persistently refused to become a candidate for a third term, a stand which we hardly indorse, for several reasons, he has said plainly, and there is not denying the fact, that he is going to dictate his successor, and as proof, he has named the big secretary of war, Mr. Taft, and the republican voters of Ohio are expected to send a delegation to the next national convention favorable to Mr. Taft against Foraker for president. Through some trick or jobbery, Mr. Taft may secure the nomination, but unless we misuse the colored voters and their power and antagonism towards their Roosevelt and his administration candidate will never be elected. The tosin can be sounded, and it is that natheh Mr. Taft nor President Roosevelt can be elected president of the United States, either should be nominated. The colored office holders are the only ones of the race that is favorable to the administration, and that is a question of meat and bread with them. If the democrats should nominate a strong and popular man, like William Jennings Bryan, and the president's wishes are carried out, and an administration candidate is nominated by the republican party, the democrats will have a walkover in electing their man—Portland (Ore.)

Member Ohio Legislature, 1884 to 1888 1889 to 1888 1900 to 1902 TRADE COUNCIL CLEVELAND 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. The Gazette is indebted to Editor James A. Ross, of the Buffalo (N, Y). Gazetteer and Guide, for the cut which enables us to give the portrait on Page 1 of the Cleveland Caterers Stag club's annual "Lincoln birthday" dinner. Absence from the city the first of the week, lecturing throughout southern Ohio, on "The Black Battallion" and Senator Foraker, has made it impossible for The Gazette to make a proper showing in its editorial department today. Have you noticed that much of the "bottom" of that alleged Taft "residential" nomination boom has already fallen out? Well it has, and the fact does not surprise us, as we expected it. Taft will never be the republican candidate for the presidency. Mark our prediction! Col. Brinsmade, a brave old soldier, a sterling republican of national reputation, and a gentleman of exceptional ability, did a good and timely job when he wrote the communication republished on our first page today. It could not have been more artistically done — the "skinning" of the maliciously abusive Cleveland Leader. Often does the colonel give evidence of other fine ability than in his profession, the law. More power to him! President Roosevelt knows, as well as every other intelligent republican, that no national convention of the party would be foolish enough to nominate as its candidate for the presidency Secretary Taft, against whom is arrayed, and very properly, too, the Afro-American vote and the labor organizations of the entire country and their friends and sympathizers. He is simply using Taft here in Ohio as a "stalking horse" or blind for the purpose of driving the one man (Senator Foraker) from public life, who has been brave enough in the United States senate and out of it, particularly at the Gridron club's dinner at Washington, D. C., some weeks ago, to differ from the president and win contests from him, and also to impress every fair-minded man in this country with the fact that he is infinitely the president's superior in point of ability, experience and a broad humanitarian spirit. THAT TYLER APPOINTMENT. President Roosevelt's appointment of Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, to the position of fourth auditor of the treasury, Washington, D. C., but agravates the situation in Ohio as far as he and our people are concerned. Tyler, who for years has posed as a newspaper man, but in reality has been nothing else but a stenographer in the employ of the proprietors of the Columbus Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, is the most unpopular and most generally disliked member of the race in the city of his residence, Columbus, and throughout the state of Ohio. While our people under ordinary circumstances are grateful to the president for such official recognition, this appointment of Tyler comes at such a time and in such a way as to produce just the opposite feeling in the minds and hearts of all the loyal Afro-Americans of the state of Ohio. There is absolutely nothing the president or anyone else can do at this time to weaken in the smallest degree their unfinishing loyalty to their greatest and best friend, SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. And RALPH W. TYLER, the president might just as well recognize this fact now, as he will surely be forced to do later on. Equally true is it that no power save Divine power could possibly intervene at this time with our people in the interest of his secretary of war, Taft, as against Judge Foraker. The former's en- dorsement of disfranchisement in his Greensboro, N. C., speech of last year, and his indefatigable efforts to prove those innocent men of "The Black Battalion" guilty of a crime they never committed, and with withholding knowledge of participants which they never possessed—crimes the president has charged them with and for which he has punished them, is quite enough. The writer has talked to his people in almost every large community from Lake Erie to the Ohio river throughout eastern Ohio since the 6th day of last month and will cover all of our communities in the state in a like manner just as soon as it is possible. If we were not positive of the facts stated in the foregoing sentences prior to our lecture tour, we certainly are now. Every Afro-American—man woman and child—in Ohio stands with Senator Foraker in this contest and will continue to do so until the end. One hundred appointments of Ohio Afro-Americans to high official position would not alienate them from their aggressive friend, the senior senator of the state of Ohio. There is absolutely no question as to this, and we want our and all other people all over the country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lake to the Gulf, to know it. The Language and the Boy. A child, with its meager store of language, is somewhat in the position of the fabled woodchuck, which was simply obliged to climb a tree, whether it could do so in harmony with the facts of natural history or not. He must express himself with what language is immediately at his command, or fall in more or less serious degree to express himself at all; and so his little store must be treated as thoroughly plastic, just as the language of his race, in its earlier stages, was plastic, says Atlantic. The existence of whiten, "to make white," is all the justification he needs for smallen, "to make small," or lowen, "to make low." "Jimmie Jones hasn't grown much since he was here before," says some one. "Why, I believe he's ungrown some," answers my younger, expressing his thought clearly and fully, and delightfully unconscious of the fact that linguistic authorities do not recognize the right of this handy prefix to attach itself to this particular verb. Dight I to have stopped him right there and loaded his undeveloped memory with parallel columns of words do and do not admit the prefix un-? If I had done so his brother would probably not have ventured to ask, a little later, how people make un-hand-painted china, and his knowledge would have been less to lay by the small amount of information which I was able to give him on that subject. Even the wolves are enjoying the present era of prosperity. The government has issued a bulletin in which is shown the flourishing condition of the coyotes on the western cattle ranges and of the larger wolves known as "loafers," or "lobos." The natural food of these beasts of prey was the buffalo, but they find cattle and horses a satisfactory substitute. Cattle are preferred; not that the wolves have any prejudice against eating horse-flesh, but because the old method of attack from the rear, which they practised on the buffalo, is equally successful with range steers. When they try it on horses, however, they meet with a painful surprise. How serious is the pest of wolves, remarks Youth's Companion, may be gathered from the fact that Wyoming alone has paid out $65,000 in bounties in the last ten years, and this makes no account of the sums paid by counties and stockmen's associations. The cattlemen reckon their losses to be about ten per cent of the herds. Great organized neighborhood wolf-hunts on the western ranges have been advertised all over the east during the past winter. J. Pierpont Morgan recently presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts what the officials consider one of the most valuable and interesting gifts from an historical standpoint they have had for some time. It consists of five large early Gothic tapestries, representing the Seven Sacraments. Originally these fourteenth-century works probably hung in the chapel of some Burgundian castle. Col. Hugh Scott, who has been more successful than any man in the army in capturing savage chiefs, both in this country and the Philippines, owes part of his prowess to his remarkable understanding of the sign language as used by the North American Indians. He mastered it in the west in the beginning of his career. The people of Germany are reported to be growing restless under the heavy taxes they are compelled to pay for the purpose of keeping up a big army and a growing navy. The peo of England, France and Russia may sympathize with the Germans, but it isn't likely that they will offer any help. A New Jersey traction company is going to experiment with women for conductors on its trolley cars. The trial will not be a success unless the company devises some means whereby the women can keep their hats on straight, despite the jostling crowds which stand in the ales.

Pittsburgh, Pa. — The Chicago express on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad which left this city for New York at 10:45 p. m. was wrecked last night near Bennett Station, on the Pennsylvania railroad, shortly after 11 o'clock.

The passenger engine and the caboose of the freight train were demolished. ADOCTOR'S OFFICE Was the Scene of the Tragedy, Which Occurred the Day the Man was to Have Been Married. Oil City, Pa.—Thaddeus S. Ross, 35 years old, a clerk in the post-office here, was shot and instantly killed Wednesday by Miss Isabelle Stroup, 28 years old, a former sweet-heart, who immediately shot herself through the heart. Both victims of the tragedy were of prominent families in this part of the state. The shooting occurred in the office of Dr. George W. Magee, where Miss Stroup called Ross by telephone while he was dining at his home. Dr. Magee was absent from his office when the shooting occurred and knew nothing of the tragedy until he returned and the two bodies partly prevented the office door being opened. Miss Stroup conducted a dressmaking shop in Bradford, Pa., and arrived here at noon. She went directly to the physician's office, from which place she called Ross. Three shots were fired at Ross. Two lodged in the forehead and one in the heart. Ross was to have been married last night to Miss Drusilla Sampsel, of this place. Miss Sampsel is prostrated. Ross was dining at home with his family, discussing the coming marriage ceremony, when the telephone rang. His father answered the call and a woman's voice made inquiry for "Thad." Mr. Ross called his son and the young man after answering picked up his hat, and informed the family he had to go to the doctor's office for a few minutes, but would return as soon as he could. This was the last time his parents saw him alive. When Dr. Magee returned from lunch and opened the door he found the dead bodies. In a chair in a corner of the office sat Ross, his head lying back on the chair and blood streaming from a bullet wound in his neck. His forehead was burned with matter. There a bullet entered his brain. Another bullet pierced his heart. Miss Stroup was being a few feet away, face downward. Blood was flowing from a wound in her left side. Ross had seated himself in a large chair and apparently while talking to the girl had placed both hands in his trousers pockets. It is thought she walked over to the chair in which Ross was seated, and, shielding the 32 calibre revolver with her dress, fired the first shot at his heart. Apparently he never moved, as the position of the body was natural when found. Wishing to make sure of her work the girl fired two more shots, one taking effect in the neck, the other entering the brain. Standing over her hands, then shot herself through the heart, the revolver dropped from her hands and was found near her body. Miss Stroup was born in this county 25 years ago. Both her parents are dead. Ross was a veteran of the Spanish American war and served with the regular army in the Philippines. WATER TANK BROKE Panic Was Caused by an Accident at the Opening of the Sportsmen's Show in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa.—Five minutes after the first annual sportsmen's show opened in this city Wednesday night at the Duquesne garden a huge tank which was to be used for the water sports suddenly burst and 100,000 gallons of water rushed out over the large hall. There were several hundred visitors present and these, panic-steered, succeeded in reaching the promenade of the garden, which is about ten feet higher than the floor space being used for the show, before any one was injured. According to the management of the gardens had the accident occurred half an hour later, when the spectators would have probably numbered thousands, the result would have been serious. That those present were not injured is considered miraculous. In their rush for places of safety many were knocked down and trampled. Leading to the promenade are a dozen or more steps and it was here that the panic assumed serious proportions. That no fatalities occurred is also attributed to the fact that the garden, which covers a floor space of 23,400 is used for ice skating and possesses ice skating facilities. These were opened immediately. In a few moments all the water had appeared. The tank was 70 feet long, 40 feet wide and six feet high. It was completed Tuesday night and all sorts of water sports were to have taken place in it during the next ten days.

It is a moot point which particular kind of "shop" is the dullest for an outsider to listen to. Many people vote for golf shop. There is certainly much to be said for this view. Unintelligible discussions about approach shots and silicings make an uninitiated hearer yawn about as quickly as most things. The author of "Social Silhouettes," however, votes for the coexistence of the hardened city man. "There is, I think," he says, "no kind of conversation known to man which can for a moment compete in point of dullness with the habitual discourse of the genuine city man."-London Globe.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED THE TONIC TREATMENT. This Woman Took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and Has Been Well Ever Since. How many women—and men too—are suffering from a general decline in health which the ordinary remedies seem unable to check! How many husbands see their wives wasting away, steadily losing health and beauty, and are powerless to help! Consumption and other germ diseases find in these dislubbed women easy. For the lowered vitality is imponed to the task of fighting off the infection of these diseases to which most of us are almost daily exposed. The symptoms indicating the decline which may have results so fatal could scarcely be better described than in the case of the woman Manley, of 12 Count street, Utica, N.Y. Her case is a typical one. She says: "For six months after the birth of my baby, I suffered from diarrhea, dysphagia, which seemed lilac a rush of blood to my forehead, just back of my eyes. Some days they twitched so I could hardly see and black spots floated before them. The least exertion brought me. This appetite was poor and I was often sick to it. If I tried to work my feet soon became swollen, paining me terribly. I had sinking spells and grew pale and nervous. I was so thin that I weighed only 95 pounds. "One day when at the drug store to get headache powders I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills instead. I soon noticed that my headache was disfigured, and I actually grew stronger. The pills gave me a hearty appetite and I now weigh over 180 pounds. I believe the pills to be the best tonic and builder a woman can take, as they certainly helped me when my condition was critical and I have never been seriously ill since." The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually work to strengthen and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. If you are ill and the treatment you are taking does not cure you, write for proof of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done in similar cases.

Beethoven had many lodgings in the course of his young life, and many were the reasons on account of which he left them. One day, according to the academy, he had been playing the piano to an extent that was unusual, and the landlady's patience was entirely exhausted. "I can't stand that strumming any more," she said in effect to her daughter. "Go and tell him he must go." Where He Put Up. "And you really claim to be an aristocrat in disguise?" said the haughty lady in the barouche, as she dropped a gold piece to the mendicant who had stopped the runaway horses. "Yes, mum," replied the latter, tipping his crownless hat. "Well, we are descended from the Normans. What house are you from?" "The 'house of correction,' mum." State to Have Logan Mementoes.

Walking That Pays The man who walks a couple of miles every morning on his way to business has a big pull over the man who has been driven to within a short distance of his office door.—Field. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1907. Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholesome, old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna. HOW CLASSIC WAS WRITTEN. Bret Harte's Great Poem Result of an Inspiration. The war correspondent, Frederic Villiers, has recorded a talk with Bret Hickens apropos of the poem, "Dickens in Camp:" "We all felt his loss most keenly in the States," said Harte: "On hearing of his death (I) sat down about three in the afternoon to write an editorial on the great author. I wrote one and then tore it up. Then another, after much pains, was written. This did not please me, so I tore it up. I wrote yet another and threw it into the waste paper basket; it would not do. It was getting late, and I was now keeping the paper waiting for press. I was drumming on my desk, absolutely without another thought in my head; I had run dry. Suddenly I mechanically began to write and the result was the thing you seem to like so much, Well, Mr. Villiers, you are not far out. I like it, too." SKIN SORE EIGHT YEARS Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies but Got No Relief—Cuticura Cures in a Week. "Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms, and I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cuticura Remedies (costing a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I can again attend to my business. I went to work again to-night. I had been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cuticura Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff, 24 Columbus Ave., New York, N. Y., March 29 and April 6, 1906." GONE FOREVER. Ten years ago a farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors. The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors. Patronize your local merchant who helps you to pay your taxes, support your schools and churches, and lends a helping hand in times of sickness and trouble. Back to the Club. The honeymoon was on the ragged edge of the last chapter. "My dear," said the ex-bachelor, "I believe I'll teach you to play cards." "That will be just too lovely for anything, darling," rejoined the young wife. "What game will you teach me?" "Solitaire," answered the heartless wretch, who promised to love, honour, and pay the groceryman. Direct Evidence. "Well, Pat, when did you last see our old friend Smith?" "I saw him last month making the ascent of Mount Vesurius with his young lady." "And was he indulging in his old weakness--kissing?" "Well, I didn't actually see him kissing, but sure enough that was his object, as he was trying to get at the mouth of the crater." A MISSOURI WOMAN Tells a Story of Awful Suffering and Wonderful Relief. Mrs. J. D. Johnson, of 603 West Hickman St. Columbia, Mo., says: ago, dropy snares and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head.

Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. HENS KNEW THEIR BUSINESS Never Would They Lay Anything but the Freshest of Eggs. There is a German dalryman and farmer, whose place is not far from Philadelphia, who greatly plumes him self upon the absolute superiority of his products above all others in the vichity. On one occasion he personally applied to a Germantown housekeeper for a transfer of her custom to himself. "I hears dot you haf a lot of drouble with dot dalryman of yours," he said. "Just you gif me your custom and der vill be no drouble." "Are your eggs always fresh?" asked the woman. "Fresh!" repeated the German, in an indignant tone. "Let me dell you, madam, dot my hens nefer, nefer lay anything but fresh eggs!" BLOOD GETS SOUR. Gives Advice and Tells of Simple Home Mixture. At this time of year, says a well-known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, falling 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 painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarpasarillip, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after 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 uric acid and poisonous waste matter the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health. French Sailors Use Drugs The extent to which the narcotic habit prevails in the French navy was illustrated a few days ago by the proceedings of a court-martial at Brest. The defendants were half a dozen seamen of ordinary rating, who were charged with a considerable number of robberies. All the men were victims of opium or the ether habit, or both combined, and were in the habit of bemuddling themselves daily with these drugs and the robberies had been committed to gratify their passion. Severe sentences were passed. World's Cheapest Gas. According to the Gas World, pride of place as the suppliers of the cheapest gas in the world is now shared with the Widnes corporation by the Sheffield Gas company of England, who have just announced a reduction of one penny per thousand cubic feet in the price, making the new scale 1s. 4d., 1s. 2d., and 1s., according to consumption, and 1s. for gas used in gas engines. The Widnes scale is 1s. 1d. and 1s. 3d., with 1d. for gas used for power purposes. Good Theory. Poor Practice. To encourage temperance the British admiralty allows 36 cents a month to sailors who forego their daily ration of rum. But, as a sailor who does not wish to drink rum can draw his rations and sell them to other sailors at 80 cents or even more a month, the temperance plan is not so successful as was hoped. APPENDICITIS. Not at All Necessary to Operate in Many Cases. Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix.) A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then Grape-Nuts and got well without an operation. She says: "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion." (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.) "Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for three weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-Nuts. "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 98 lbs, but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person." (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a form of digestible sugar in making Grape-Nuts).

Twenty-five Bushels Wheat and Forty five Bushels Oats Per Acre Are in Western Canada. Saltcoats, Sask.. 8th December 1906 To the Editor. Dear Sir, I willingly give you the result of my four and a half years' experience in the District of Salcoats. Previous to coming here I farmed in Baldwin, St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and as I have heard a great deal about the Canadian North-West, I decided to take a trip there and see the country for myself. I was so impressed with the richness of the soil that I bought half a section of land about five miles from the town of Salcoats. I moved on to the land the following June and that year broke 90 acres, which I cropped in 1994, and had 39 bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with an acreage of 160 acres, I had 24 bushels wheat and 35 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906, with 175 acres under crop, I had 25 bushels wheat and 45 bushels of oats per acre. From the above mentioned yields you can readily understand that I am very well pleased with the Canadian West. Of course, I have had to work hard, but I don't mind that when I get such a good return for my labor. To anyone thinking about coming to this country I can truthfully say that if they are prepared to work and not grumble at trifles, they are bound to get on. Some things I would like different, but take the country all round, I don't know where to go to get a better. Yours truly, (Signed) O. B. OLSON.
