THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 40. Modes of the Moment THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WESTERN WESTERN STYLES for MISSES ```markdown ``` In the ultra-fashionable world where there is no limit to the banks account and fancy and desire determine what shall be worn, it is to be an unusually extravagant season in the matter of dress, for everything is specially designed" or "specially created," and very few garments will be permitted to play more than one part. This being true, it will form a strong index as to what may be looked for among the women who are not blessed with unlimited means at their command, but who must carefully count the cost. Our best advice to such is to have a few gowns, but to have these as perfect in every detail as possible. It has been said, and with much truth, that the Parisiennes buy fewer new dresses in the year than the women of any other nation, but they take such infinite pains over each individual toilette that it represents perfection, and is, for that reason, a delight to the wearer and to the onlooker. Tafetta hats in the cabriole form have had a revival and are among the most popular in the East, in fact it may be said to be the first favorite of the season, and it is made in every possible color, but always in a subdued shade. This style of hat is only suitable for afternoon wear—for visiting and for concerts, etc. It is essentially "dressy" and should never be permitted to accompany a severe tail- The prevalence of the pinafore bodice in the new fashions makes the said fashions very suitable for adaptation to the young folks, who, indeed, The Pinafore Bodice. from the age of, say, four to 18 or 19, can be confidently expected to look their best in a dress of this kind. For the first named small damsel the mother may take as her model our picture frock where the plinafo bodice is outlined with a stitched band of its own material, or again of silk or velvet, while the chemisette and little turn-down collar or lace relieve its simplicity in the prettiest way, and the belt is specially becoming to the little people who have not yet developed a waist. This dress—which is, of course, made at in one—will look equally well in velvet or cloth, serge or alpaca, and might again be cooped in the checked fabrics, In Union There is Strength. or-made. The hat crowns grow higher day by day; many of them are exactly like large jam-pots, but others retain the charming Lamballe outline, only that they are higher and more aggressive than the crowns of last year. The mushroom shape seems to reign supreme, and it looks exceedingly smart when arranged with a large, puffed crown of some soft material and trimmed with a single feather, which sticks out at one side in a manner which may truly be described as "cheeky." There is a rage in Paris for these big single feathers, and very often they are beautifully shaded in the most delicate colors. It is also fashionable to place a group of three feathers directly in front of a high-crowned hat, but these feathers are not possessed of the same chic as the single plume. Irish lace is more than ever in the height of fashion. Coatées and boletes and blouses and collarettes of Irish crochet are being exploited. Every sort of lace is in the highest favor, and all kinds are cheerfully united on one garment. Any scraps that one possesses should be brought out, for a medallion of the finest point d'Alencon may center a yoke of heavy Irish crochet, and "filler's" of Valenciennes run on net may form the sleeves of the same gown, and the like, with perfect propriety. which are quite a feature of the latest juvenile fashions, in red and white for example, having a bordering band of red glaze and being finished off with a red leather belt. Altogether the girls—as well as their elders—can make quite the best of themselves this spring, for styles are accommodating, and the most popular colors—delicate pink and old-rose shades, soft blues, and the promised increasing popularity of white—are well suited to a youthful freshness of complexion. The mushroom hat, too, is a perfect frame for young faces, either in its simplest aspect, with just a twist of satin ribbon to encircle the crown and finish in a chou on one side, while the other is occupied by a bunch of flowers, or when again a full crown of net is encircled by a wreath of blossoms. All those more elaborate and much favored modes which introduce intricate embroideries, shimmering silver tissues and ribbons, and far spreading plumes and aigrettes must, of course, be passed over in the choice of suitable attire for the girls though in the case of evening or presentation gowns for those who will soon arrive at the dignity of the twenties, just a suggestion of silver is not only permissible but pretty. A dress which we saw the other day is most deserving of imitative admiration. It was of pale pink ninon, the pinafore bodice sloping well down over the shoulders and was outlined with a piping of silk and a trail of rosebuds and leaves, embroidered in pink and green silks. The chemise of lace was guiltless of any collar, just a little ruffling of Valenciennes softening it at the throat, while the sleeves were made notable by long mitten-like cuffs of the finer lace, which were quite a welcome change after the unbroken succession of short sleeves which, whether becoming or not, have been invariably worn for the last two or three seasons. conference as her choice for one of the three ministerial delegates of the north Ohio annual conference to be elected at its next session, and to represent the conference in the general conference to convene in Norfolk, Va., in 1908. The following is an outline of the able address: If congratulate the brethren because of the evidence of renewed life and progress in the Springfield district. Because of your zeal and incenseant effort its spiritual and temporal work has moved forward. The brethren should not be contented to be behind in anything in any good work. You should contend for every honor worth having. We most heartily congratulate your behalf. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Its Post-Graduate Course and Polyclinic. Washington, D. C.—This history of the medical department of Howard university has shown that it is alive to the advanced progress made in medicine, surgery and dentistry. The fixed and definite policy has been to make the school the equal of the best in the country and to prepare graduates for state board examinations. The alumni, as a rule, are doing well, and reflect credit on their alma mater. "Nothing succeeds like success," and the school has prospered every time an advance is made in raising the standard and the curriculum. Day instruction has been a success, and the number of matriculates has increased. There were 288 registered for the session of 1906-07—the largest number in the history of the department. The students are graduates of high schools and equivalent preliminary education. The medical and dental colleges are in full accord with their respective national associations, and Howard university diplomas are recognized in every state and territory of the United States. The time has now come when our graduates need the facilities and instruction offered by a postgraduate course and polyclinic, and the medical faculty is ready to respond to their call; hence it has been decided to inaugurate a school of postgraduate instruction in May and June, 1907, and we believe that this new feature will mark a the most epochal in the history of the school and attract a large number of practitioners to avail themselves of the ample facilities of the New Freedom's hospital, which is costing more than half a million dollars, is costing more than character and scope, and is destined to be a center of polyclinic education. Howard university stands for higher education for all the dark races, with doors open for all persons who wish to enter the profession of rye or color. The new president of Thirkield, D.D, LLD, stands for this idea, and brings to his work a large and ripe experience. He knows the needs of the colored people, and believes in training them for their environment. His ideas are lofty, and he intends to place Howard university in the front rank. Progress is his watchword, and the polyclinic receives his endorsement. Unification is a necessary factor at Howard university, and the medical school is ever ready to aid him along all lines of advancement. It seems especially fitting in the year 1907 to inaugurate a post-graduate course and polyclinic as an important feature in medical and dental education, because this is the forthright year of the university, and this year the New Freedom's hospital will be the public. The school of medicine has more than three thousand students who have availed themselves of the opportunities of the college, with 713 graduates in medicine, 169 in pharmacy and 129 in dentistry, making a total of 1,006, scattered over almost every part of the world—in Africa, Asia, Europe and the islands of the sea. Night School. Secretary Shadd contemplates recommending to the faculty that night instruction be given to those employed during the day, provided the Association of American Medical Colleges will approve of his suggestion. President Thirkield and Dean Reyburn consider it feasible and just to many bright young men and women who have used the civil service and have positions in the departments at Washington. Many of these are well prepared for professional studies. The matter will be definitely settled at the meeting which will be held in this city May 6, 1907. As a large number of persons were refused admission last October, Secretary Shadd desires the names of all who wish to matriculate this October, so that he may have data upon which to predicate his request that Howard University be allowed to add this feature. With a postgraduate course and polyclinic course for night classes and a quiz course to prepare graduates for state board examinations, Howard university will take first rank as a place for higher education. IN BEHALF OF JUSTICE Senator Foraker Labored in the Brownsville Fight—The Springfield Conference. Mechanicsburg, O.—The Springfield district conference convened in this beautiful little city last week and was royally entertained for three days. The presiding elder, Rev. J. M. Gilmore, D. D., delivered one of the ablest annual addresses it had been the privilege of the oldest members of the conference to ever listen to. The conference ordered the special committee on the address, Revs. C. W. Dorsey and C. D. Young, to see that a brief outline of the same is published in the Cleveland Gazette. Rev. Dr. Gilmore, as a true leader, is greatly appreciated and the same was expressed when he received the hearty endorsement of the district GAZETTE. conference as her choice for one of the three ministerial delegates of the north Ohio annual conference to be elected at its next session, and to represent the conference in the general conference to convene in Norfolk, Va., in 1908. The following is an outline of the able address: "I coagulate the breather because of the evidence of renewed life and progress in the Springfield district. Because of your zeal and incessant effort its spiritual and temporal work has moved forward. The brethren should not be contented to be behind in anything in any good work. You should contend for every honor worth having. We most heartily congratulate our beloved bishop, Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, D. D, for the splendid progress of the third episcopal district during his faithful administration. Churches have been built, debts paid and many souls saved. The object of our meeting is fully comprehended by all and I greet you the push of life and good cheer. The push of life we must not be indifferent to the various religious movements. It must not be enough to raise money. We must ourselves be converted and then strive to save others, soul and body. No moral reform must go on without our full support. Temperance must be preached and practiced. The church should strive to put an end to granting license to the liquor traffic. When this is done the heaviest blow will be struck and the liquor traffic will die. Let every minister see to it that every Sunday-school has a missionary society and every church a mite missionary society. These times of cunning, trickery and apostasy call for preachers with level-headed gift. The degenerate use made of the church is deplorable and accounts for loss of power. Ministerial co-operation and the enemy is never more needful. The enemy is to control and coerce pastors by beating elites must come to an end because coming annual conference will be worthless because of what will transpire. No general day should be neglected and every member of the several churches should delight in duty. Each pastor should see to it that no claim be blank. The church is not so liable to suffer from heresy as from hypocrisy, worldiness and downright devilment. When members get offended at truth they seek to destroy church property. Such churches should not be pacified by shifting the minister. Each quarterly meeting should be preceded by a week of service, and love feast should never be held after communion or preparatory service. Education should not be overlooked. We should learn from books, but the very best knowledge comes down from God. Jesus in Jesus will be a dark day for men. Now Tillisman prevails. No men will tillism plebe alone, all the people will till the sting of whatever comes. But thank God the monster doesn't represent the sentiment of the best white people. Race prejudice blinds men to justice and they substitute might for right. Politics will not down. We deplore the hasty and criminal in dealing with the colored soldiers at Brownville. On the other hand we admire and heartly appreciate Senator Foraker's magnificent effort in behalf of justice. We do not believe that any man deserves the highest honor in the gift of the people more than the there is neither justice nor gnosis for mankind. We talk about repealing the 14th and 15th amendments to the U. S. constitution. We ought to demand respect for its declaration that its bishop is called of God and put an end to worldly holy calling. Our delegates to the general conference should be the most competent among us. Those who are willing to serve the church rather than self. Among the many things needed by way of legislation, reconstruction and completion of governing rules, nothing is of more bleeding necessity than: A rule that will give each pastor security at the end of each year for any and all unpaid salary; a rule to prevent the possibility of subverting the church discipline or any part of it by articles of incorporation. Ample pledged to the brethren in the rain at the end of sacrifice honor and the good of my church for favor and good will. I stand for the just treatment of pastors and believe that no church should be allowed to beat them out of their support; enforcement of laws and reconstruction of or repeal of impracticable measures; connection economy; wise and judicious retrenchment; sound gospel; sanctification rather than possessed." Dr. J. M. Glmere, P. E. of Springfield district, is strongly endorsed for general conference. Senator Dick Belittles Taft "Boom." Made a Knight for Bravery in Battle. Amsterdam, Holland.—The Netherlands government has conferred a unique distinction on a colored private army, for conspicuous bravery in the field.

The Philadelphia and Washington annual conference of the C. M. E. church was recently in session here, Bishop R. S. Williams, of Augusta, Ga., presiding. It commended Senator Foraker for the noble stand he took in securing "The Black Battalion" a hearing, and condemned the course of President Roosevelt in the matter. The conference also unanimously indorsed Senator Foraker for republican nominee for president next year. Rev. J. W. Smith, pastor of Israel church of this city, introduced the resolution. The conference with 100 churches and over 3,000 members led by the presiding bishop and 89 ministers in the conference district, have thus gone on record. The membership of this church connection, which is about 175,000, will undoubtedly be influenced by this conference action. The states in the conference are: New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia. In five of these the Afro-American votes is an important factor at the polls on election days. Our voters everywhere are for Foraker, heart and soul, and it is certain that the president will be necessary for the election next of office the republican candidate for president. Afro-Americans out of office who speak right out, will lead our vote in the country over next year and in the future, not office-holders. "Every man should register and vote in order to help select good men to public office," said Bishop Williams. "I have no patience with the Negro in the pulpit or out of it who says that the colored voter should keep silent in campaigns and at elections. Silence is what has lost to the Negro so much." Rev. S. L. Corrothers. "I wish to see Senator Foraker president of the United States," Rev. J. W. Smith. These are but the sentiments that are being expressed by thousands of our men and the citizen. Afro-Americans in the country should adopt resolutions denouncing Secretary Taft. He is no friend of the race. There is no question as to this. Read his Greenbush, N. C., speech of last year; remember his abuse of "The Black Battalion," and let every white politician in your community who supports Taft know that you consider him an enemy of the race, for it is even so. At a recent meeting in Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church, which was addressed by Lieut. R. E. Toomey, W. T. Ferguson and others, the sterling qualities of Senator Foraker were discussed and every mention of his name brought forth loud applause while the name of Roosevelt, which used to evoke great applause, is litened to without signs of approval. His act and statements with regard to those innocent men of the Twenty-first century, Roosevelt, will this change of feeling and confidence. The greatest emancipation celebration held in the istrict of Columbia for many years was held in this city April 16. The ceremonies were under the auspices of Lincoln league, James W. Poe, president. The great audience was treated with a feast of music, oratory, eloquence and gay decorations. In the midst of the celebration, a resolution commending and indorsing Senator Foraker for his stand for justice to our soldiers was unanimously adopted albeit almost deafening applause which was renewed again and again, and which with the waving of flags, hats and handkerchiefs, lasted for some m... mutes. The speakers declared that if you were to give a greetings Taft do not, do justice to the men of the Twenty-fifth infantry that the American people are going to send to the White House a man who will—Foraker! This again brought loud and prolonged applause and cheering. The Washington district conference of the A. M. E. Zion church in session at Wilmington, Delaware, April 10, 11 and 12, indorsed Ohio's great senator and every mention of his name brought forth applause. The senate committees on military affairs on May 15 will resume its inquiry into the alleged Brownsville state陷案 those to be examined at an early date are to be 29 white residents of the town. The next issue of The Gazette will contain some interesting references to "The Black Battalion."

Hurrah! for Senator Foraker! Rooseveit's and Taft's southern friends, our enemies, in Texas and Florida, are busy these days. See Galveston and Tallahassee letters elsewhere in this paper. Dr. S. S. Jordan certainly "hits the nail on the head" every time, in his splendid Foraker-Rooseveit interview in the Chillicothe, O., letter elsewhere in this paper. More power to him! The south will have to largely discontinue its mob violence and lynching before it will ever be successful in encouraging immigration. Sending Gov-elect Hoke Smith and others to Europe to encourage it will not accomplish the end desired. The great mass of Ohio republicans are with Senators Foraker and Dick and the future will prove the correctness of this statement, a subsidized press to the contrary notwithstanding. We have covered nearly one half (the eastern) of Ohio since March 1, and know whereof we speak. Not only is organized labor throughout Ohio and the country opposed to the W. H. Taft candidacy, but also the entire Afro-American vote. His disfranchisement position as enunciated in his Greenboro, N. C., speech of last year, and his effort to make criminals of those innocent 167 members of "The Black Battailon" (in this out-Rooseveiling Roosevelt) has made it simply impossible for any decent, self-respecting and loyal member of the race to look with favor upon the candidacy of Secretary of War Taft for anything. --- It is said that Chas. P. Taft, of Cincinnati, O., the brother of Secretary Taft, is worth about $30,000,000—and that he has opened his "barrel" at both ends and knocked in the bung. "I don't want any business."—Richmond, N. L. Luke's Herald. The Ohio Afro-American, as well as those of the entire country, agree heartily with our esteemed contemporary, the St. Luke's Herald. Just how correct it is and to what extent the Ohio "white" press and that of the country is being subsidized by the Taft "barrel," we have only to call attention to the fact that a few weeks ago the Gazette was offered by the American Press association, having headquarters in Cincinnati and Columbus, six columns of Taft plate matter free, weekly for use in our paper. We refused the very kind (?) offer. however. It will take more than a Taft "barrel" and a subsidized press "boom" to coerce the Afro-American into supporting for anything disfranchisement Taft and turning from our steadfast friend, Senator Foraker. Carry the news to President Roosevelt! "SOCIAL EQUALITY" The Cleveland Baseball club members are called "the Napoleans," or "Naps" for short, in honor of their great captain and manager, Napoleon Lajoie. Some weeks ago they were training at Macon, Ga., and stopping in the same hotel were several of the player's wives and an equal number of Cleveland admirers, called "fans," because of their great love of the great American game, baseball. With this explanation the following dispatch to a Cleveland daily newspaper several weeks ago from Macon, will be better understood: The Nap party are disguised with some of the methods in vogue in the south. Several nights ago John Drew and his company gave a performance at the Grand Opera House, and while in Macon stopped at the Lanier House where the ball team is making its headquarters. Mr. Drew personally gave an invitation for the entire Nap party to be his guests for the evening. Upon arriving at the theater the local manager refused to recognize the party and created great confusion by loud talking in the corridor. He declared that he would not pass the women of the party even if Drew insisted on recognizing the ball players. The party later came appeared from the back of the house and informed the manager that all the party were to be admitted. The manager then subsided and told the Naps to pass in. Instead of doing so the party walked out of the theater and returned to the hotel. A few minutes later Mr. Drew's secretary came to the hotel and apologized and requested that the party return. This all refused to do. The fact is it was simply a case of refusal to accord representatives of the working or poorer class of whites (and all parties concerned were "white") social equality. The presence of the ball player's wives made the manager's stand absolutely necessary according to southern custom. It is a pity that this incident cannot be brought home to the great mass of northern white prejudiced "parrots" who imagine that they are elevating themselves socially by crying "social equality" against the Afro-American even when he seeks to exercise his citizen rights in many public places. No wonder "the Nap party are disgusted with some of the methods in vogue in the south." Many thousands of others in the north would have a similar feeling and the silly, foolish racial prejudice against the Afro-American promoted in this section by prejudiced southernners, would receive a "body" if not a death blow, were it possible for them to have such experience as it was the good fortune of the "Nap party" to get at Macon, Ga., a few weeks ago. If there is one thing more disgusting than another it is to hear the average white person, north or south, prating about "social equality." Bah! When or where do they exercise it? Then too, how extremely indefinite is the almost mythical, so-called "social equality." There is really no such thing in the usually accepted sense. If you do not think as we do, ask the "Nap party." Stewart Pays the Cost. New York City—Gilchrist Stewart has paid the cost of his bold attitude regarding our dismissed soldiers. Last week, at the recent monthly meeting of the republican national committee, his delegation from the Thirteenth assembly district was unseated, after six months' membership therein, and the Farrel faction seated. No one claims that the newly seated faction represents in any measure the republicans of the district. However, before the report of the committee on contests was adopted, Mr. Stewart made a speech "long to be remembered and never to be forgotten." The oldest members said they never heard a speech like it, for the little "master of the hill walked about." His spear certainly knew no brother. The president he denounced in scathing terms, and paid his respects to his New York man, "Friday," President Parsons, in well-phrased and biting speech. Amid jeers now, an applause, now interruptions, he told what his unseating meant and why. The cards, however, were stacked; after he took his seat the president played the joker, and Stewart went back to "the hill" for vindication. He will doubtless get it. This Will Please Taft. Tallahassee, Fla. — The senate, by a vote of 23 to 5, has adopted a joint resolution to declare the 14th and 15th amendments to the national constitution void, and to disfranchise the Negro in Florida. The resolution was introduced by Senator John Beard, of Pensacola, who spoke at length upon the subject, his speech leaving no doubt in the minds of the audience that the amendments were irregularly adopted, and hence illegal. Senator Beard declared that he believed the supreme court of the United States would uphold the action of this state in disfranchising the Negro. The house is overwhelmingly for the resolution, and the question of legality of the amendment in question will thus go before the United States supreme court. The galleries cheered the action of the senate. "Big Stick" from His Brownsville Friends. Galveston, Tex.-In appreciation for the stand he has taken in discharging our soldiers, President Roosevelt is to be presented with a jeweled "big stick" by prejudiced citizens of Brownsville, Tex. The large walking cane is made of Mexican coffee wood, exquisitely carved and mounted with Texas silver. An engraver has been working on the emblematic figures for over six months, and the cane is pronounced the finest piece of workmanship ever designed for a stick, which weights $4\%$ pounds. It will be forwarded in a few days, with a petition that he use it on the senate committee on military affairs in the name of injustice and the honor (?) of prejudiced Brownsville "citizenship."

Cadiz, O.—On April 15, in response to a brief announcement a number of our leading citizens met in the Court House for the purpose of considering the political situation in Ohio, and especially to express their views and appreciation of the splendid stand for right and justice, as has been shown by Senator J. B. Foraker in his courageous efforts in congress in securing a fair and impartial hearing of the facts which led to the discharge without honor of a whole battalion of our soldiers. The meeting was called to order by W. H. Lucas, who was made temporary chairman. He stated the object of the meeting in an address alluding to the very distinguished services rendered the race and to humanity by Senator Foraker in his efforts to secure to every man of this great nation his right to a fair trial and a "square deal." Press extracts and Senator Foraker's Canton speech on the senate investigation of the Brownsville affair were read. A person by B. S. Lee Rev. J. H. Mason, I. L. Streeter, Bolden, Wm. Bell, Newman White R. F. Ballard, F. W. Lucas, Wm. Tyler and A. J. Brooks—all paying a fine tribute of respect to our senior senator for securing for innocent men a fair and impartial trial. At the conclusion of the addresses a Foraker club was organized, every person present (32) joining. A committee on permanent organization was appointed and plans suggested to enroll every Afro-American voter of the township, were adopted. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted; Whereas, In the discharge of the Negro companies B, C and D, Twenty-fifth infantry of the United States army, without the right to trial or court-martial, the Negro race was done an irreparable wrong, and Whereas, The general press reports have been published in such a manner as to withhold from, or to deceive the public as to the true facts relative to the innocence of these accused soldiers, and Whereas, The Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, senior senator from Ohio, a true friend of Justice and humanity, has pronounced opposition, openly demanded and secured for the said discharged troops a congressional investigation, whereby the soldier side of the deplorable Brownsville affair might be given a fair and impartial hearing, and Whereas, The said investigation, ably and fearlessly conducted by the senator, is clearly demonstrating, by the evidence and facts of both the accused soldiers and their white officers, that the Negro soldiers were not "midnight assassins," but were the victims of a deep and well laid conspiracy to get the Negro soldiers away from Fort Brown, as well as to cast a shadow of disgrace over the entire Negro soldiery of the United States, therefore be it. Resolved, That for his fearless and stand, and the great services he is willing to our race and the cause of humanity in clearing the names and re-establishing the honor of the "Black Battalion," that we render him, on behalf of the Negroes of Cadiz, and our Foraker club organized at this meeting, a sincere vote of thanks, and Resolved. That we further tender him our heartfelt appreciation and support in the unprecedented fight he is making for right and justice, and Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Senator Joseph B. Foraker and The Cleveland Gazette. W. H. LUCAS, Pres. R. F. BALLARD, Secv. FOR SENATOR FORAKER A K. P. Leader in Ohio Makes an Attack on President Roosevelt. Chillicothe, O.—Dr. S. S. Jordan, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Ohio, has come out openly for Senator Foraker for president as against any man that President Roosevelt may select. He says that with few exceptions all the leading Afro-Americans feel the salty positions way, and that they few salty positions not drive Afro-Americans against Senator Foraker, a man who has always been our friend." "The appointment of an Afro-American to a federal office here or any place else," said he, "will not atone for the great injustice done our race in the Brownsville affair. I would have but little regard for my people if they could be bought so cheaply. I have been in communication with leading men of the race all over America, and I find that the great majority believe as I do that the president did as a great injustice, and that the people who are the true friend the Afro-American has had during the entire controversy. There are, of course, a few Afro-Americans who are against Foraker, but in most instances they have had or have now some political preferment. "I know it is said of Senator Foraker that he is working in the cause in a selfish interest, not because of any regard for the Afro-American. I have known Senator Foraker for 20 years and he has always been our friend. He had the courage to go to the south and denounce lyaching long before Brown's affair was ever heard of. Besides, even if this were not true, is not President Roosevelt at this very time trying to buy the Afro-American back to his way of thinking by dishing out a few paltry offices?"

But the role the nose plays in respiration is by far its most important function. It not only serves as a passageway for the air in breathing, but it also warms, moistens and filters the inspired air. The nose should have about one pint of water daily, part of which is supplied by the tears, in order to moisten properly the inspired air. The filtration of the air is accomplished first through the action of the hairs at the external margin of the nose which hinder the entrance of large particles; and second by the adhesion of small particles to the moist surface of the intricate passages of the nose and the naso-pharynx. The microbes are expelled with dust and dust particles from the nose has probably the power of destroying any bacteria through the germicidal action of its mucus. The nose also aids in phonation. Another and very important function of the nose is the ventilation it affords to the ears and their accessory sinuses.—Dr. Anna M. Galbraith in The Delineator for April. 'AMONGTHEGANG' QUARRY OWNERS WERE ASKED TO DIVIDE OVERCHARGES FOR MATERIAL USED IN BUILDING PENNSYLVANIA'S CAPITOL—THE GRAFT INQUIRY. Harrisburg, Pa.—The most interesting witness Wednesday beaten Harrisburg, Pa. May 2—The most interesting witness Wednesday before the commission which is investigating charges of extravagance in the furnishing of the Pennsylvania state capitol, John H. Sanderson, contract a widow, of Williamsport, Pa., who was called to tell about a deal that Joseph M. Huston, architect of the capital, John H. Sanderson, contracted fountains, and others had attempted to take over a pentine marble from a quarry left her by her husband. The marble was to have been used in the capitol. "They offered to allow me," said Mrs. Anthony "fifty per cent, of the proceeds from a new company they desired to organize, but I was given to understand that 40 per cent, of that amount must be divided among their friends. That would have left me only 10 per cent, for the marble, so I decided it would be better to give it away and declined to negotiate with them further. The other 50 per cent, they told me, would be used for operating expenses at the quarry." Jacob Shenk testified that the same parties had called on him to negotiate a deal for the marble in his quarry. Shenk declared that they desired him to charge the state $15 a cubic foot for the marble, instead of from $5 to 8, the price he thought would bring him a fair profit. It had been explained to him, he declared, that the difference was to be divided "among the gang." USED DYNAMITE Man on Trial for Wrecking a Church Makes a Confession in Court. Wilkesbarre, Pa.—There was a sensation in the criminal court late Wednesday when Stephen Savage confessed on the witness stand that he was one of the men who wrecked the Welsh Congregational church at Edwardsville, near here, two years ago, by dynamite. Savage and Joseph Chunowsky were arrested some time ago, charged with the crime. According to Savage's confession he and Chunowsky met in a saloon in Edwardsville where they were told by two men that if they destroyed the church that they were accused of 1125, which money, it was alleged, was paid by certain saloonkeepers who had been refused liquor licenses by the court. In order to get the money Savage claimed that he and Chunwsky went to the church with several sticks of dynamite and placed them under the front part of the building. Savage said he was too drunk to get over a fence nearby, but that Chunwsky did so and lighted the fuse. Then Chunwsky denied most emphatically the statement made by Savage. He claimed that he knew nothing about the explosion until some time after it had occurred. A MINE DISASTER Seven People Are Dead as the Result of an Explosion at Scarboro, W. Va. Charleston, W. Va.-Three men were killed, four were severely burned and four others are entombed and probably dead as a result of a fire that destroyed the mines at Scarboro, in the Leap Creek district, Wednesday afternoon. Many of those who escaped were slightly and some seriously injured, but all will recover. Isaac Pelter, the mine boss, was left in the mine. He was closing up the air courses in an effort to force fresh air to those remaining in the mine. He expected to follow his men out, but up to a late hour nothing had been heard of him. The Whipple mine is located within in two miles of the Stuart mine, which exploded on January 29. killing 80 men. Both mines are owned by the White Oak Fuel Co. The mine is one of the best equipped in this field. The case and shaft was damaged, but was in operation at 9 o'clock last night. The cause of the explosion is not known, but probably was the result of firing a heavy shot at the face of the works. A Frightful Record Washington, D. C.—The accident bulletin issued Wednesday by the inter-state commerce commission for the three months ending December 31, 1906, shows that during that quarter the total number of casualties to railroad passengers and to railroad employees while on duty was 20,944, an increase of 1,094 over those reported during the preceding three months. The number of passengers and employees killed in train accidents was 474, an increase of 207 over the number in the last quarter. The number of passengers killed in train accidents in September is the largest on record except for the quarter ending September 20, 1904. Fifty People Injured in a Fire Panic.

She is Thankful to All. Editor The Gazette—I write to you with pleasure to thank you and the many friends in Cleveland for the great kindnesses they showed my homeless brother, Will Jones, who was overtaken in your city with disease that carried him to his grave. Dear Mr. Smith, I have been sick ever since I heard of the death of my brother. It seems to me that my heart would break over the illness and death of my baby. I am not sure whether a better not to extend to all my prayers and thanks for seeing after my sick brother and caring for him while he was sick and showing race pride and respect after he died. I thank all kindly for writing to me and telling me through The Gazette of his illness from time to time. And then the sad, sad notice of his death. God has surely chosen you to help to see after and care for the poor and helpless of our race in your city. I will never forget you. You shall always be remembered in your life. You will be remembered in your several times before brother died and I regret that I was not able to do something for him. I learn from you and the good people of Cleveland that my brother was cared for, and a Christian burial given him by the many friends there. God will always bless his people who try to help the weak and helpless of the race. Now, Mr. Smith, I kindly thank you for The Gazette. I enjoy reading it. I will send in several subscribers in a short time. I find in The Gazette that we have one more woman of our race who bravely defended herself Florence Walker. God help our women all over the world to fight for their honor and virtue for that is all a woman has in this world. KATIE L. HINES, Birmingham, Ala GREAT MEETING. Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, and Rev. Dr. J. H. Jones, President of Wilberforce University, Make Stirring Speeches. Washington C. H., O.—Sunday afternoon the Opera house was crowded to overflowing with the most prominent White and colored citizens to hear the matchless address of the Hon. I. C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, and President J. H. Jones, of Wilberforce university. They dealt with the great issues that are vital to the development of our race and stirred the people here as no other speakers in recent years. At night they spoke in the A. M. E. church and many were unable to gain entrance. The students of the Messrs. Smith and Jones are two of the greatest and ablest men of our race. Our people are organizing Foraker clubs all over the country and we are planning a union meeting in this city this month. The editor of The Gazette has been invited to be the orator of the occasion. Mr. Winslow, secretary to President Jones, accompanied the president here this week. Winnie Jamison, of Columbus, was also here: Mrs. C. S. Williams' mother, of Mississippi, is here: Hon. Harry C. Smith of Columbus, Jones was guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. McNeill the first of the week. Rev. R. M. Martin presided over the meeting Sunday afternoon. Mr. Hezekiah Stewart is convalescing: Mrs. Mason, of Willard street, is ill. Also Jas. O. Jackson. The Gazette wishes an agent here at once. Write the editor. Albert I. Williams Writes of the Far West. Los Angeles, Cal., April 18, 1907. Hon. H. C. Summ, Dear Sir—The Gazette comes regularly and it is interesting to note what a difference between it and the local papers. It is like a visit home to get The Gazette now. Acting upon your suggestion I tried many altitudes before I found relief for my cough. Down in the sand hills of New Mexico I lost my job and I find work in my chosen line—promoting a colored people's enterprise—the Afro-American Co-operative Laundry Co. It is delightful work, too, out here in the Golden West. I know you will be as glad to hear as I am to tell that the project is getting on nicely. If in your opinion you think it wise to have the Men's Forum here adopt resolutions of gratitude because of Senator Foraker's actions I think at an approaching meeting a good chance. I am so much improved and contented with the happy situation that I feel much of my time has been wasted in recent years, when it could have been utilized to a much better position out here. There are many positive events an energetic intelligent crowd of Afro-Americans in the smaller inland cities, while the congested coast cities are much like the eastern cities. I am out here to stay and if I can't succeed in city the farm is already ready Yours truly, ALBERT I. WILLIAMS, Sec'y. The A.-A. Co-Op. Laundry Co. The Black Battalion Lecture. Zanesville, O.-In spite of the miserably inclement weather of last week Tuesday which included a downpour of rain in the afternoon and part of the evening, St. Paul's A. M.

Our people of every city in the state of Ohio at least, ought not to miss an opportunity to hear this lecture.

SUBSCRIBE FOR 'THE GAZETTE' 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.

When the poet spoke of "etheral madness," he meant spring lamb and peas. How well he knew them! Lamb, the type of innocence, and the pea, the first fruit of civilization, away back on the Aryan summits. The pea grows nowhere in a wild state. It is the product of tender care and the heart's solitude, and hence fitted for gentle association, and all the quiet moods of nature, where no anger, trouble, or tumult comes. When a sharp wind arises or frost hurls a menace from a clear night, spring lamb and peas vanish, like a bird that feels a prying breath upon its nest. But when the shadows shorten and the robin is abroad in the early morning and the apple blossoms are whitening the air, then appear the lamb and peas, with a smiling salutation. "Here we are—gather about us." Don't we? Don't we taste the etheral realminess? Don't we feast our imagination on the blue sky and the daffodils?—Ohio State Journal. There is more Catarin in this country of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by consistency faulty science has proven Catarin a constitutional disease.

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED TRY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM. The Pills Have Cured the Disease in Almost Every Form and Even in Advanced Stages. Rheumatism is a painful inflammation of the muscles or of the copingers of the joints and is sometimes accompanied by swelling. The pain is sharp and shooting and does not confine itself to any one part of the body, but after settling in one joint or muscle for a time the pain increases. The most dangerous tendency of the disease is to attack the heart. External applications may give relief from pain for a time but the disease cannot be cured until the blood is purified. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medicine for this purpose as their action is red and healthy. When the blood is sure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Goff St., Abunem, Me, says: "I had been sick for fifteen years from impure blood, brought on by overwork. My heart was weak and my hands colorless. I was sick. I had been fainted with spells, which came on every few months. I had no appetite and used to have awful fainting spells, falling down when at my work. I frequently felt numb all over. My head soched continuously for five days." "About two years ago I began to feel rheumatism in my joints, which became so lame I could hardly walk. My joints were swollen and pained me terribly." "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended to me by a friend, after I had failed to get well from the doctor's pills, the rheumatism was at its worst. I had taken only a few boxes, when the headaches stopped and not long afterward I felt the pain in my joints becoming less and less, until there was none at all. The stiffness was gone and the older had any return of the rheumatism." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured such diseases as nervous and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As a tonic for the blood and nerves they are unequalled. A pamphlet on "Diseases of the Blood" and a copy of our diet book will be free on request to anyone interested.

They are very generally becoming, and are far less difficult to make than the ordinary fancy blouse. It is especially attractive in this costume of pale blue volle. The under-bluse of white dotted net shows daintily through the openings that extend from shoulder to waistline in front and back. Straps of the material extend across the openings in waist and sleeve caps, and form the only decoration. The skirt is a very graceful model cut in four gores, and is laid in double inverted box-plates in front, back and at each side. The pleats are stitched flat in the upper part giving a close adjustment at the hips, and the lower edge allows of being cut in round, short round and instep length. Tafeta, pongee, rajah, louisine and veiling are all suitable to the design. For 36 inches bust measure one and three-quarter yards of 44-inch material will be required, for the waist, and five and one-half yards for the skirt. Ladies' Guimpe Blouse No. 5706.

A negro minister from Georgia, who was visiting friends in New York city, went one Sunday to the cathedral on Fifth avenue. He was very much impressed by the service, especially by the choir boys in the processional and recessional. When he returned to the south he resolved to introduce the same thing into his church, so he collected 15 or 20 little darkies and drilled them until he had them well trained. One Sunday the congregation were greatly surprised to see the choir boys marching in, singing the processional. The minister noticed that something was wrong; the boy in front was not carrying anything. He leaned over the pulpit, and in order to avoid attracting attention he chanted in tune to the song they were singing: "What—have you done—with the in—cense-pot?" The little darky, with great presence of bind, chanted back: "I—left it in—the aisle—it was too d—n hot."—Harper's Weekly. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. MAY 4, 1907.

"Without hesitation I write to thank you for the great relief I have found in your valuable medicine, Perans, and will call the attention of all my friends suffering with catarrh to that fact. Besides I cheerfully recommend it to all suffering with catarrh in any form."—Miss Dora Hayden, 819 6th St., S. W., Washington, D. C. A Case of Spring Catarch. Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 432% N.Broadway, Pittsburg, Kas., writes: "Last spring I caught a severe cold, which developed into a serious case of catarrh. I felt weak and sick, and could neither cat nor sleep well. "A member of our club who had been cured of catarrh through the use of Peruna advised me to try it, and I did so at once. I expected help, but nothing like the wonderful change for the better I observed almost as soon as I started taking it. In three days I felt much better, and within two weeks I was in fine health. Peruna is a wonderful medicine." ROALED HIS GENTLE REBUKE. Mate's Wrath Found Vent in Peculiar Form of Reproach. Rear Admiral Mead, who has just been retired, was talking one night at a dinner in Portsmouth about the power of discipline. "In my youth," he said, "I knew a first mate in the merchant. service who, though an excellent officer, was dreadfully profane. When anything went wrong he would volley forth oaths and curses in a shocking way. Once, though, he shipped with a very strict, religious captain, and the first time this captain chanced to witness one of the mate's swearing bouts he gave the young man a good dressing down. 'You are a first-rate officer,' he ended, 'but remember, no more swearing. Not another oath aboard my skin.' "Well, the mate bore the captain's warning in mind. Then one afternoon it happened that the boatswain made an inexcusable error in carrying out an order. When the boatswain confessed the fault he had committed the mate turned red with rage. He opened his mouth. Everybody looked at him expectantly, waiting to hear some remarkable oaths, but just then the captain hove in sight. The mate, seeing the captain, remembered his orders about profanity. But his rage had to have a vent of some sort and, striding up close to the culprit, he roared in the man's face. 'You naughty, naughty boatswain!' THE DIFFERENCE IN TASTE. Dogs Prized as Edible in China Are Here Fashion's Pets. "He is the real thing in the way of a chow," said she. "Father bought him for me in Shanghai. Did you know they ate them there?" "I had heard that the Chinese ate dogs, but I thought it was a fake, like the story of their eating rats." "No; it is the truth. They do eat dogs, but only the chow variety. Chow, you know, means 'edible'. Yes, they eat chows. In every butcher shop you see chows' carcasses hung up, the same as we hang up the carcasses of pigs. The flesh is white." "White?" "Yes; like veal. The Chinese raise chows for food and feed them only soft, washy stuff, mashed vegetables and bread and milk. No meat whatever. Hence the white flesh." "Notice Wu's black tongue. Well, chow tongue is a Chinese delicacy. They make soup of it. But it is very expensive, like our turtle soup, and it is only eaten by the rich. "Isn't it strange that a dog so fashionable with us should be only an article of food in China?" English Ribbon Trade Flourishing. The English ribbon trade is said to be now in a more flourishing condition than it has been in many years, owing to the huge demands the dressmakers and milliners are making upon the output of the manufacturers.

THE VALUE OF PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front ranks of The Well Informed of the World. A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the highest excellence in any field of human effort. A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowledge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the world, who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual use that it is the first and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of—Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, whether you call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.

It reminds me of the young Oxford student's badge with the policeman. 'Officer,' said the youth late one night, 'I'd like to ask you a question.' "Very well, sir." "Does the law permit me to call you an ass?" "You move on, the officer growled." "But stop a bit," continued the youth. "Does the law permit me to call an ass a policeman?"

Awful Humor Eating Away Face- Body a Mass of Sorcery Iacuura "My little daughter broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear as a new-born babe's.

To the Editor. Dear Sir, I came to this country from the State of Wisconsin three years ago, and must say that I am greatly pleased with the outlook in this western country. For my own part I am entirely satisfied with the progress I have made since coming here. I have raised excellent crops of grain of all varieties. Last season my wheat averaged 23 bushels of wheat to the acre, oats 60 and barley 40. We had a splendid garden this year, ripening successfully tomatoes, muskmelons, water melons, sweet corn and kindred sorts. The country is well adapted to wheat growing and mixed farming, and to my mind it is the best country under the sun for a man with a family and small means, as it is possible for a man to commence farming operations with much less capital than is required in the older settled countries. The climate is all that could be desired, being very healthy and invigorating. My wife came out about six months ago, and although inclined to be delicate in the old home, she has enjoyed the best of health since coming here. I shoot, I am more than satisfied with the land of my adoption, and I am also satisfied with the laws of the country. Yours very truly. (Signed) JOHN LANGDON.

It is woman who is at once the social bulwark, the autocrat and the snob—Woman's Life.

The Indians of the Mauritius dispose of termites, or white ants, in this manner: When they see their covered way approaching a building, they drop a train of syrup from this way to the nearest nest of black ants.
