THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 42. The VOGUE in MILLINERY THE HAT WORK WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF DRESS The array of millinery this season has been sufficient to tempt a Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, and it has been apparent to the most indifferent observer that there is considerable difference in the present fashions from those of the preceding year. It must be frankly admitted that the mushroom shape reigns supreme. Made in fine shiny straw it obtains in every color, and the popular trimmings are the encirclement of the crown by an upstanding ruche of ribbon tied into a bow at one side; the covering of the crown with tulle, net, or lace gathered into beet-eater shape with the base bordered with a wreath of flowers; the surrounding of the crown by tulle of three colors with a group of flowers on either side or a group of wings. An exception to these rules is a mushroom hat of white chip with a narrow band of black velvet on the crown, the crown trimmed with pale blue ribbon intersected with a band of coarse rush embroidered in pink roses. A very pretty idea this is, too, and quite new. Some of the smartest of the season's styles are shown in our illustration. The leghorn hat in the center is an exquisite creation, both as to real, downright loveliness and as to price. The glorious fox-tail feather encircles the hat and then droops down full and free to the nape of the neck. There are two full-blown pink roses clustered at one side of the hat, while the brim shows the lining, which is so much in favor this season. But what this hat possesses in the way of elegance the one above it to the right makes up in smartness of design and finish. It is of white or If one is looking for a smart but simple costume the one here pictured will offer suggestion which will be easily carried out. In some of the new geranium pink shades with desirable contrast of color on revers and cuffs it would prove a costume of which any woman might feel proud. Pinafore bodices for grown-up women seem rather an absurd idea—doesn't it? And yet it is an idea which finds favor in the sight of very many. On some of the new spring gowns one sees the genuine pinafore bodice and on others merely the shoulder straps which give a bodice a pinafore effect. One thing to be said in favor of this mode is that it is very practical; it comes to us at a moment when renovations are attracting a great deal of our attention, and it enables us to make a last year's bodice up-to-date at small expense. My personal opinion is that the pinafore bodice is only suitable for quite young women and for girls; it has a cruel little way of making the woman of uncertain age look ridiculous. Another fashion—one of the latest novelties—which is suitable only for young and slender women, is the short coatte which just covers the waistline and which is distinctly shorter in front than at the back. Amongst the prominent colors which are to have the favor of the authorities stand forth those many shades which have been known as "pickled cabbage," and include dull purple, soft pink, and a sombre tone of red. These may be seen in all the new cloths and in volle, the popular trimmings for them being lace to match, which, candidly, I don't like, while I regrettely realize that this will make no difference to its success in the world of dress. Other decora- In Union There is Strength. colored chip, with the crown literally smothered under a wealth of white wisteria, while in front some roses cluster and the bandeau is veiled with a softness of tulle. The three other hats are pretty and decidedly stylish, but not so expensive, giving one the liberty of choice at moderate outlay. The large chip hat in the upper left hand corner of the picture is wreathed around with blue hyacinths and tiny pink roses. The other chip hat in the lower right hand corner is another of the new smart shapes in rose pink chip, whose crown is covered with many loops of silken ribbon, while roses and their fresh green foliage are grouped together at one side. The last hat on the list is of burnt straw and trimmed simply with Saxe blue ribbon, pink roses and brown tulle, but which make a charming harmony of color. As millinery accessories, colored lace veils are in demand. The most popular tones for these are mole grey, brown and blue. Blue of a dark peacock shade is a tint much sought after in straw and also observable on some of the latest triumphs in artificial horticulture. I confess I have little regard for the peacock blue poppies, even when supplied with a crimson center, and I also admit the like obtains, and would seem to be sure of a welcome. Besides the lace veils there are veils of plain net, trimmed with a narrow silken fringe, and veils of a graduated chenille spots, bordered with velvet, and veils edged with kiltings, these last having made their first bid for favor last year. Other veils show designs of chenille on the edge, and others again are plainly bound with satin ribbon. Smart Bolero Costume. tions are embroideries of dull shades in different tones of silk, reminiscent of Bulgarian and Russian methods of embroidery, oxidized silver braid and silk braid to match in color, and buttons of diverse designs in enamel or metal. All allie are patronized. Also soft dull tones of blue are by no means absent from Fashion's scheme of color, which includes, too, various tones of yellow, buff, and deep biscuit. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1907. GREAT MEET! Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! FORAKER PRAISED! Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio Afro-American League and Officers. Columbus, O.—The greatest, most harmonious, (for there was perfect harmony, unanimity of purpose and action at all times) most enthusiastic and successful race conference ever held in Ohio, certainly within the last quarter of a century, was the meet of Wednesday in Lazarus' hall, this city. The exceptional personnel of the gathering had much, of course, to do with this. Nearly 100 prominent Afro-American ministers, business and professional men, republican leaders from the different parts of Ohio met in a state conference at the request of the editor of The Gazette and Dr. Wm. G. Wren, of this city, defined their position in the pending presidential contest between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft and served notice upon the secretary and his friends that neither Taft nor Roosevelt, nor anyone the latter supports, will receive the support of the Afro-American voters of Ohio, who are 40,000 strong. President Roosevelt was both condemned and denounced, and Senator Foraker was commended and indorsed in the most glowing terms. The strongest language was used in denouncing the chief executive, the delegates were thoroughly in accord with the resolutions and they were adopted without a dissenting vote. The committee was made up as follows: Rev. J. M. Gilmere, chairman; Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; Rev. E. L. Gilliam, Columbus; W. E. S. Thomas, Columbus; W. F. D. Sapling, Columbus; W. R. O. Dayton, Dayton; Mr. Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Dr. S. J. Drard, Chillicothe, and Rev. Dr. C. D. White, Steubenville. The defeat of War Taft did not escape criticism and was referred to as the instrument of the president. "Foraker first, last and all the time," and defiance of the man with the big stick, was declared to be the slogan of Afro-Americans, in the future, and the name of "Foraker" was determined upon as the password to any meeting of our citizens. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a. m. by Dr. Wren. Rev. Dr. Talbert, of Wilberforce, was named for chairman by the editor of The Gazette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were made secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee on resolutions were out, addresses were made by delegates and others present. Among this number were: R. C. S. Williams, of Washington; C. H. M. Williams, of Washington; Attorney N. B. Marshall of Washington; D. C. and Glirchrist Stewart, of New York City. When the committee returned and reported the following splendid declaration of principles, anti-Taft resolutions, and provided for a permanent organization known as the Ohio Afro-American league the wildest cheering and enthusiastic acclaim was heard for a block. Declaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a hail. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and hars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage and shoot to death the glorious emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albon W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John who sailed Lincoln and thousands of others in a behealt; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any GAZETTE. of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Washington, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compels us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United States so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point where we feel that president of the United States a man of important political faith, than to elect to that exiled office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. "Chesley D. White, Steubenville, "J. M. Gilmore, Cleveland, chairman "Walter S. Thomas, Columbus, secretary." The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taff, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded, especially here in Ohio, the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taff, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C. and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taff, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military manpower had been unable to prove their guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore he it. Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismissal without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we all upon our behalf throughout this great battle, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forciting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, was elected chairman of the state executive committee (9) and Capt. Walter S. Thomas, chairman of the state central committee (25) of the league. In our next issue we shall give much other important and interesting news of the conference, publishing the names of the various committee members and others entitled to mention in The Gazette. The meet-up will be called on town." The conference called on Gov. Harris and other state officers. Bradford, Pa.. Locals. Mrs. J. and Miss E.

Harry S. Cummings, Esq., of Baltimore, has been re-elected to the city council, receiving many more votes in his ward than the republican candidate for mayor, who was defeated. A warning to Taft enthusiasts. Since his Akron and Greensboro speeches and his report on the Brownsville affray the writer would rather see Secretary Taft neither a judge of the supreme court nor president. In those two speeches he showed that he is not a sound republican and in his report on the Brownsville affray he showed that he is a good speech pleader, but would make a judge whose views on a critical question of constitutional law might be influenced from "higher up."—N. Y. Age. Taft Winks at This. Harrison did more to build up and strengthen the republican party in the south than any of his predecessors. McKinley did more to undo it, and the facts sustain the assertion, than any republican who has ever occupied the presidential chair. This "pacifying" the bourbon democracy of the south took the starch out of the independent and republican movements in the several southern states which voted such wonderful strength for McKinley in 1896. While the exchanging of bouquets was going on between the republican north and the ballot box stuffing democracy south, the bourbon political ax was busily at work fortifying its supremacy of fraud by every astute cunning of state constitutional strategy conceivable in the minds of the manipulators of the old regime. The result is the disfranchisement of thousands upon thousands of the inductees, as well as the host of republican blocs, disfranchised, too, not because he is a "nigger" so much as because he is a republican—Alexandria (Va.) Southern American. The Negroes of Baltimore, Md., are responsible for the election of the democratic ticket, and Brownsville is the cause of it. Our people refrained from voting, and this accounts for the slump in the republican calculations. Many Negroes did not vote at all, but those who did get to the polls were republicans, and they voted for a democrat as a protest against President Roosevelt's action in the Brownsville case. Every one of these votes counted two for the democratic ticket. The Negro vote all over the country will be affected as it has been in Baltimore. If it should be the calculations of Taft republicans in Ohio may have to be revised, as there is a larger area to cover. A Baltimore republican (white) puts it in this way: "The Brownsville affair has played hell with us. The Negroes are sore against Roosevelt and are evidently going to vote against anything or anybody he favors. We did not expect them to show so much feeling in this campaign, although we knew they were sore. It will never do to acknowledge to the public that the Negro has turned against the republican party, but that is just what has occurred so far as Baltimore is concerned. The Negroes appear to have acted almost as a unit in this matter. Before election, we knew from Roosevelt would hear from Brownsville business, but we did not attach much importance to that talk. They have shown us that they do not hesitate to vote the democratic ticket in order to register their protest against the president's shameful attitude toward the Negro soldiers." Mr. Taft is objectionable to the Negro on many scores. If, by any mischance, the war minister should persevere through the national republican convention, it is extremely likely that the voting Negro will cast his vote almost solidly against him in the election. This is pretty generally agreed upon whenever Negroes congregate, and Negro preachers preach. Through the columns of the Negro press there runs a sweet stream of anti-Taft. The Negro can never forget the secretary's speech before the Carolina in which convention of North Carolina in which convention of North Carolina to leave the republican party, and grew eloquent in his defenses the disfranchisings laws of the southern states. This he can never deny, for what is written is written. Neither will he be able to explain away his attitude towards the discharged soldiers, for he prepared with his own hands the exhibit used against them by Senators Lodge, Warren and Warner, the men who have so shamelessly and grievously disgraced themselves and their country throughout the senate investigation. Upon the presentments of Mr. Taft, they have become not investigators, not seekers after truth, but persecutors, defenders of the administration, despoilers of the good name of men who waded through blood for their country and nobly fought. The voting Negro, for the first time, is concerted in his purse to assist his son in bringing brother at the south, who is suffering and, maybe, without influence. This is the situation; this is why we now have tears, when a few months ago justice would have served where tears SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. now prevaileth not.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Editor Washington (D. C.) Post: I was pleased to read your Maryland dispatch, May 9, concerning the colored vote in the election in the city of Baltimore. I was present, and I am confident that not a colored man was bought, and neither was he bribed, to vote the democratic ticket. The position of the colored voter was correctly stated in your issue of May 9. The same feeling obtains throughout the country so far as the colored voter is concerned. I also see by your issue of the 9th that Boss Cox, of Cincinnati, Ohio, has advised the republicans of Ohio to come together and support Mr. Taft for president; Gov. Harris for renomination, and Senator Foraker for senator. Mr. Cox may well speak for the republican party of Ohio, but he also speaks for the colored vote of the country. It makes no difference what the president does or what the republicans of Ohio will do, the colored vote of this country will not support Mr. Taft and neither will it support any man named by the administration. I take this opportunity of informing the president that the discharge of those brave colored soldiers, without cause, will be resented by the republicans of Lincoln and the Negroes of this country. We have been loyal and patriotic to the republican party and the flag of the republic. All that we have done to the Negroes civil and political rights. This has been denied us. The time has now come for us to act. We shall no longer follow blindly Negro leader ship which has humiliated us and demonstrated to the country our cowardice. Say to the president that the colored vote has left him, and furthermore, it will not follow Mr. Taft. Respectfully. BROWNSVILLE FIGHT. Col. French Repeps Investigation at Fort Sam Houston—Extra Rifles at Fort—Army Munitions Given and Sold to Civilians by Officers. Fort Sam Houston, Tex —Lleut. Col. Francis H. French, of the inspector general's department of the army, arrived here recently and began the examination of soldiers on matters having a bearing upon the alleged "shooting up" of Brownsville by soldiers. He will make a thorough investigation of the matter brought out in the Penrose court-martial that there was an extra amount of ordnance upon him, and French seems to be proceeding is that there were 10 or 12 regular army rifles and many rounds of ammunition issued or allowed to go into the hands of a person or persons not connected with the army. This being prior to the departure of the battalion of the Twenty-sixth infantry and the arrival of the Twenty-fifth, gives rise to the theory that there might have been other army rifles and ammunition in Brownsville the night of the attack than those in the hands of the soldiers. Col. French will also take up the matter of extra rifles that were fired at Port Brown. Another sensational feature in connection with the investigation is the action of a certain officer who is alleged to have issued to a federal officer and citizen of Brownsville 500 rounds of ammunition. THANK MR. FORAKER. Afro-Americans Declare They Will Carry Brownville Case to Courts. Baltimore, Md.-At the convention on the 9th of the Constitution league an auxiliary body was formed here. Every Afro-American clergyman was present. The principal addresses were made by John E. Milhooland, of New York, chairman of the executive committee; former Congressman Geo. H. White, of North Carolina; Hon. J. O. Middleton, of Alabama; Hon. J. C. Manning, of Alabama; A. B. Humphrey, of New York city, secretary of the Constitution league, and N. B. Brownville investor. All white except White and Marshall. Messrs. Milhooland and Secretary Humphrey made reference to the Brownville affair, and insisted that the evidence showed the soldiers were innocent. Mr. Humphrey said an appeal had been taken to congress after the president had failed them, and if this was not answered satisfactorily, the league would go to the supreme court. If justice was denied then, the people would be asked to right the wrong. Resolutions were adopted thanking Senator Foraker for the interest he had shown in the matter. Olean, N. Y., News. Rev. P. E.

Cleveland, Saturday, May 18, 1907. 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. Rah! for the Ohio Afro-American League! The senate committee on military affairs resumed its investigation into the "Brownville, Tex., affray" the past week. Ohio Afro-Americans have held many conferences in years gone by, but nothing that compares favorably with the one held in Columbus on Wednesday of this week. It was harmonious, aggressive and successful to an extraordinary degree. More power to its members. The "declaration" and resolutions certainly ring true. It's other work was pitched on an equally high plane. THE TAFTS. The Taft family has never indicated any good interest in the Afro-American and does not now. Recently it was announced that "The Clansman," Tom Dixon's fire-brand prejudice play, was scheduled to appear at the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati. Charles P. Taft, Secretary Taft's brother, editor and publisher of the Cincinnati Times-Star, and manager of his brother's alleged candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency, owns the theater building. When leading Afro-Americans of that city called on him and asked him not to permit the dirty show to be put on in his theater, he refused to make any effort whatever to comply with their respectful, reasonable and very proper request. The result is "The Clansman" was produced at the Cincinnati Grand Opera House last week and the minds of thousands of persons, already too thoroughly saturated with prejudice and hatred of the Afro-American, were poisoned even more against our people, if such a thing be possible. No wonder the Afro-Americans of Dayton spoke out so strongly against the alleged Taft candidacy and even those who are trying to promote it. With Brother Charles aiding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work against the race with his infernal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out Rooseveltling Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownsville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battallion," it is high time for others of our people beside those who live in "The Gem City" of Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line. More power to those Dayton Afro-Americans and their kind. THE OHIO IMBROGLIO. As might have been expected, when the Ohio supporters of Judge Taft for president qualified the recent peace pact by insisting that Senator Foraker should be sent to the rear, the latter has raised the flag of revolt. He declared he would not be bound by anything that might be done at the proposed Columbus conference of publican leaders, he will not be a party to George B. Cox's recent harmony program, and he will not alter his course or change his purpose until the republican voters of Ohio have had an opportunity to pass upon the several propositions at issue and have indicated their desires. Senator Foraker's statement concerning the republican situation in Ohio, as printed in The Gazette Times yesterday, is both clear and tart. Insements as to state candidacies he would have made by the only competent organization which has authority, the state convention. Then he insists that a further test of sentiment among republican voters be had at republican primaries, not this year, when the campaigns are municipal, but next year, when the issues are state and national. He protests against advance adjustments by individuals or committees not clothed with official authority as calculated to do more harm than good. He takes it that the attitude of the Taft people since last week's Cincinnati announcement of an "understanding" by which peace was to obtain has tended more toward strife than party union, and accepts the challenging tone which has characterized their interviews in the meanwhile as meaning a personal war upon him. That being the case, he is for fight, and he asks no quarter. What, then, becomes of the unposed solid delegation from Ohio for Taft? A week ago it appeared certain, but the Taft followers evidently wanted to cap their prize with revenge and proscription, and here they overplayed the game. The result is a dismal check to the Taft boom, as on the face of things the outlook in his home state now is as uncertain as ever.-Pittsburg Gazette Times. The above covers the ground so well that we republish it in our editorial columns. It is truth, too. NO TAFT IN OURS. Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for a fourth term in the legislature from this county. With the entire local republican ticket, with one exception, and the republican candidate for governor, Col. Myron T. Herrick, we were all sent down to defeat as the result of a speech delivered at Akron by secretary of war, Wm. H. Taft, and the reform cry of graft, directed by him and other persons against Geo. B. Cox, of Cincinnati. In plain words the effort to eliminate Cox from Ohio politics resulted in the defeat for re-election of Gov. Heyrick (who did much to help himself down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican candidates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox, according to daily papers the past week, with a suggestion that this same man, Taft, be endorsed by Ohio republicans for the republican nomination for the presidency next year, that Senator Foraker be endorsed for re-election to the United States senate and that Gov. Harris be renominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as it has reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownville Texas as Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of organized labor throughout the country for Taft than it will be to gain the favor for him of loyal Afro-Americans. "BUCKEYES" (Continued.

Absolute honesty and a definite will often produce better results without unusual intellectual gifts or opportunity than the keenest intellect can attain without these moral qualities.

A philosophy of life is not what we think about life, but the convictions which govern our actions. It has well been called the "working hypothesis of life." Since well-directed power is the measure of success, it is within the reach of every human being. Play your part well—be it great or small—and despair will disappear, like the morning mist before the sun. Your part is not to expend your nervous force in cynical criticism, but in the high obligation to build on whatever foundation of conviction you may possess.—Laura Drake Gill in the June Delineator.

Paris, France—Of the many foreign students who have come here to study, perhaps none of them have ever accomplished more than Mme. E. Azalia Smith Hackley, of Philadelphia, formerly of Detroit and Denver, who came here a little over a year ago a perfect stranger, and unable to speak our native language. During that time she has studied under three of our greatest masters, and repetiteurs and teachers of diction. She had been here but a very short time when she had won the admiration and esteem of the entire class, and her unusual sweet and flexible voice, quick conception of music and amiable disposition soon placed her in a position where her authority to solve all diffused problems. She was selected to lead the choral class of the Holy Trinity lodge (a parish house for English speaking women). The class is the most enthusiastic class here and is composed of students representing nearly every country, therefore it may be truly called a "universal class." Last June she was engaged for the year beginning in September to lead singing in the St. Luke's Episcopal church, which is the only American church in Paris, as well as teach the Sunday schools their songs. Immediately upon her removal to the students "quartier" (where she was practically unknown) the many students requested her to give them lessons and in October, one month later, she was given prizes a son a week at educational prices. She finally opened a studio, and has had as pupils a number from Australia, Canada, England, Germany and several from the United States who were there. She is the soprano solist at the Holy Trinity lodge every fourth Sunday, and accompanies for the Wednesday evening musicals when different artists contribute services. Mme. Hackley has sung at several grand soirees and concerts among the French and Americans and has received all the honors that could be given an artist. At one concert at Sale Eylou last month she was the star of the evening, the large audience persisted in its cries of "bis" (again) until she was compelled to repeat "Henschels Spring" before permitted to sing the second number of a group. One of the soloists, a Russian soprano, of Theatre Royal de la Monnaie, was so charmed with "Spring" that she immediately engaged Mme. Hackley to teach her to sing it as she had sung it. Mme. Hackley was also honored by being selected to represent the English language at the opening concert of the Society for the Propagation of Foreign Languages in France. Speaking of her work at this concert the French Bulletin says: Madame Hackley Madame Hackley. "It was cur privilege to hear and applaud Mme. Hackley, an American Cantatrice, whose powerful and melodious voice poured out in perfect tones in secreto popular in the United States "The Stakeholder Polka" by R. Mulder, and in captivating simplicity the old Negro slave songs." The above is one of the many comments she has received while here. March 3, when the Holy Trinity choral class rendered Gallia, she received many congratulations for their good singing and her most excellent teaching. Mme. Hackley has been in poor health since she arrived here and has been compelled to cancel several engagements, like other Americans it is hard for her to get acclimated, the continual rainy weather is very unfortunate to foreigners, particularly Americans. She has lost considerable money but does not give up as she is determined to complete her work be fore she returns to the United States next fall. MAURICE ROSSEAU SEVENTYOHIO NEGROES Will Meet in Columbus To-Morrow to Start War on Taft. Special Dispatch to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Steubenville, O., May 14.—Hon. Harry C. Smith, thrice a member of the Ohio legislature from Cleveland, and editor of The Cleveland Gazette, a paper devoted to the interests of colored people, was here today. He said: "As a result of my labors throughout the state since March 6, when I lectured at Painesville, there will be a conference in Columbus to-morrow. This will be held regardless of the fact that the other conferences have been called off. Fifty leading colored republicans of Ohio will convene for the following purposes: 1. To insist upon being consulted by the leaders of the republican party before the indorsement of any republican candidates for the presidential nomination. "2. To express our most emphatic opposition to the indorsement of Secretary Taft for any position within in the gift of the people because of Taft's indorsement of disfranchisement in the south and his unreasonable efforts to fasten the alleged Brownsville (Texas) crime upon the black battalion and through them upon their entire race. "3. To insist upon an indorsement of Senator Foraker for any position he may seek. Members of the conference are determined that the republicans of Ohio shall understand thoroughly that they are in possession of no power great enough to bring about the support of Secretary Taft for anything upon the part of the 40,000 Negro voters of Ohio. "A permanent organization will be effected at Columbus." Bryan Praises a Debater Lincoln, Neb. — the great intercollegiate debate held in Iowa between Nebraska and Wisconsin universities presented a great opportunity for the Afro-American that was improved to the fullest. When the Wisconsin party alighted from their Pullman all eyes were on Marshall, who was driven to the best hotel in the city where he put up. The hall was packed with 1,500 people. There were a brass band, orchestra, a quartet and Bryan. Marshall's oratory completely captured the great crowd and it was full three minutes before the applause subsided after he was introduced as Bryan, as dredges of others, declared that Marshall's speech was the finest ever heard in Nebraska. Led by Bryan, the gentlemen with their wives and daughters pressed forward to grasp the hand of the most brilliant Afro-American orator in the northwest—Eugene J. Marshall. Spooner, Foraker and Burton. Of Mr. Foraker it may as truthfully be said that he is one of the strongest men his party contains, and probably its most accomplished and effective debater in the senate. With Mr. Spooner also in the chamber, the Ohio senator was yet relied upon in times of the greatest storm and stress for much of his party's most important work. With Mr. Spooner out of the chamber, could Mr. Foraker well be spared? Would Mr. Burton, or anybody else in Ohio, be able to fill his place.—Washington (D. C.) Daily Star.

Cleveland, 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.

Out of the 30,000 cows furnishing milk to the city of Cleveland, and valued at $300,000 the ratio shows 7,558 have Bovine Tuberculosis, and in view of the fact that "Bovine Tuberculosis and human Tuberculosis are identical," these figures present an alarming problem to the people. Bovine Tuberculosis Dangerous. "Facts gathered show that Bovine Tuberculosis is even more dangerous to the human race than human Tuberculosis or Consumption. Not enough stress is laid on the fact that milk from Tubercular Cows is an ethnological factor in the production of human Tuberculosis.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured This Woman and Have Cured Many Hundreds of Cases of Common Allergies. Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache and a dull, sluggish feeling—these are the symptoms of stomach trouble. They indicate that the stomach is on a strike; that it is no longer furnishing to the blood the full quota of nourishment that the body demands, hence every organ suffers. We are two methods of treatment, the old one by which the stomach is humored by the use of predigested foods and artificial ferments, and the new one by which the stomach is toned up to do the work which nature intended of it. A recent cure by the tonic treatment is that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81 Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says: "I suffered constantly for years from stomach trouble and terrible backaches because of the pain, and a part of three years. I was under the care of our family physician most of the time, but did not seem to get better. "I was completely run down and was not able to do my work about the house. My blood was impure and my complexion pale. I suffered from flashes of fear for weeks by all kinds and awful headaches, which lasted from three to four days. I could get but little rest at night, as my sleep was broken and fitful. As a result I lost several pounds in weight and became very nervous. "I was in a wretched condition when I heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was so scared that I began to gain in weight and health. I was encouraged by this to keep on until I was cured. My friends and neighbors often remark what a changed woman I am and I owe in all to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These wonderful pills are useful in a wide range of diseases such as anemia, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headaches, and even locomotor ataxia and partial paralysis. The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. Their nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or rent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Cattle owners everywhere as well as the millions of people innocently exposed to contagion daily from the consumption of the 7,500,000,000 Gallons of Milk annually consumed in daily food use will rejoice in the discovery of what is claimed to be positive and simple preventative—one that costs but a few cents a year to guarantee the dairy cow against the disease. A very interesting booklet on the subject is edited and distributed free to all for the asking by The Mutual Mercantile Co., Cleveland, O., and should be read by every one whether a consumer or producer of milk and meat in any form. It gives the whole story in a very clear and concise way, and shows how the claim is made to wipe out the disease in a single generation by feeding small amounts of Rasawa and extract of Gentian, both of which may be had at any Drug Store.

Two oil well drillers, Earl Sheets and Frank Winks, near Carl Junction, underwent an experience last week that would make a "feature" for a life and death melodrama, says the Kansas City Star. The two men were superintending the shooting of a well. Three hundred quarts of nitroglycerin had been brought to the well to be used in the shot. A "shell" containing 30 quarts had been lowered, but it stuck in the well. The operators thought they could shove the can on down in the well by letting the baler down in the well on top of it. The plan appeared to have worked all right, and the baler was drawn up out of the well, and part way up toward the top of the derrick before the horrified spectators noticed that the can of deadly explosive had caught in the baler and was then dangling in the air, ready to fall. Just as Sheets and Winks looked up, the shell came loose and started toward the ground. Realizing that if it ever hit the ground these 30 quarts of nitro would explode and kill everyone in the vicinity, the two men with presence of mind, ran under it and caught it in their hands. If they had failed in this, not one of the spectators would have "lived to tell the story." WHAT MADE HIM DOUBTFUL. Size of Commuter's Hat Caused Acquaintance to Worry. A commuters on the D., L. & W. remarked to a friend the other morning, as they came into the city: "Hawkins, of Stamford, is going to move into that new house next door to me. I know him very slightly, and I understand that you know him pretty well." "Yes, I have known him for upward of 20 years." "Well, what kind of a fellow is he, anyhow?" asked the commuter. "A first-rate fellow, and in every way desirable. Why?" "I just wanted to know, because I could never quite make up my mind about him, he wears such a small hat."-Philadelphia Ledger. Czar as Composer of Music For the last 18 months the caar has been virtually a prisoner in one of his own palaces and in the intervals of state work he has solaced himself with composing music and writing verse. His poetry is melodious and carefully polished and his music is melancholy and inspired by a spirit of fatalism. Some three years ago some of the caar's poems were published under the pseudonym of Olaf, with music by his cousin, the Grand Duke D'Assia, but he has himself set some of his verses to music with a considerable amount of taste and a real knowledge of harmony. Nicholas II. has a fine collection of violins, of which he is very proud. Cannon May Break Record Of the congressmen who have served since the foundation of this government, more than 12,000 individuals, only 34 have served 20 years or more. The longest service was that of John H. Ketcham, of New York, who served 33 years, and was a member when he died. Mr. Cannon, who comes next, has served 32 years. Since he is elected to the next congress he will, if he lives to the end of his term, take the first place in the list of veterans.—Youth's Companion. CHANGE IN FOOD Works Wonders in Health. It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts food has cured me of indigestion. "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in perfect working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy represents the steam that drives the engine. When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.

Some Gold Handled That Sell for $50 —Handles of Silver and of Ivory. If a man were content to shave himself with a razor having a hard rubber handle, as indeed most men are, he could buy one with a blade of very excellent quality for a dollar; but there are razors far more expensive than this. Thus, there are sold razors with handles of 18 karat gold, and of plain smooth finish, that bring $50 each a pair of such razors in a plain sil- ver box can be bought for a hundred dollars. But $50 is not the limit of what one may pay for a gold handled razor. If the handles were elaborately chased its cost might mount up to twice that, or $200 for a pair. There are also sold, among those more expensive, silver handled razors, which range in price from $6.50 to $30 each; $6.50 being the price for one with a plain silver handle, while those more costly have their handles more or less elaborately chased or carved. A man who did not altogether like a hard rubber handled razor might find his fancy suited with one having a handle of ivory, and an ivory handled razor need not necessarily be expensive; a razor with a plain ivory handle can be bought for two dollars. Of course any carving would add to the cost. Costly razors are usually sold for gifts. Crystal Used in Counterfeiting.

Sterling, Ky.. writes: have silted with kidney and bladder trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Peru-na for Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manual. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manailn, and now I feel better. I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna Manailn urged me and made a different change of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, the else system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens.

Christ Nelson, having been in this country only a few weeks, was slow in learning American customs, and especially the inscriptions on envelopes. One of his first acts after landing in Oregon was to take out naturalization papers. On the corner of the envelope, in which were contained the documents that made him an American citizen, were the words: "Return in five days." "Wal, I be har," he said yesterday, as he shuffled up to the counter in the county clerk's office and spoke to Deputy Prasp. "What do you want?" asked that official, carefully noting the embarrassed flush on the Swede's face. "Wal, it say on this har envelope 'return in five days,' and time be up to-day, so I ban come round." When assured that nobody wanted him, he turned with surprise and walked sadly away, not certain whether he was naturalized or not.—Portland Oregonian. Has for Worthless Stocks "Wildcat mining stocks are not altogether useless — or worthless, either," said a downtown broker who handles cheap mining stocks, the other day as he hung up the telephone receiver. "Here's a man who has just offered me $50 for enough mining stocks to have a face value of $50,000. He wasn't particular what stocks he got if they only had a paper value of $50,000. I closed the deal and shall make money on it, too. What did he want with such stocks? Well, I haven't the slightest doubt but that he is getting ready to go into the bankruptcy court and wants to show his creditors where his money has been dropped. We often get such requests and are usually able to fill them."—N. Y. Sun. Blind Man Expert Whist Player Bert Trim, a blind resident of Woonsoonst, R.

ADVICE FROM ONE WHO KNEW. Proof of Dire Results That Follow Change of Occupation. "When I was district attorney," said Judge Sweney, of Shasta county, California, "I secured the conviction of Montana Jack, a highwayman, who was something of a humorist. When asked by the judge whether he had anything to say against sentence being passed upon him Jack admitted that he had no protest to make, but that he would like to give a few words of advice to the young men in the room. Permission being granted, Jack said: "Boys, my advice to you is to stick to whatever you are doin'. Don't change your occupation, or you'll never get along in the world. Look at me. I was a successful burglar for years, never got caught, and collared lots of dough. Then I turned highwayman and got caught in my first hold-up. And here I am, all the result of changing my occupation. Whatever you are, boys, stick to it."—Woman's Home Companion. BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Relieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. "Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906." Bound to Celebrate.

One of our third grade teachers noticed a little fellow the other day during a penmanship lesson who was evidently absorbed in his work and putting his whole soul into his efforts to make his results look like the teacher's copy upon the blackboard. Thinking such devotion worthy of special reward she passed up the alce to give him an encouraging pat upon the head and the regulation smile of approval. As she drew near she noticed that his lips were moving, and that with the completion of each letter he compared it with his copy and muttered audibly, "damit," "damit;" then screwed up his courage and his lips for a new attempt. The teacher passed on without distracting his mind from his work.—Journal of Education. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.
