THE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 43. OUR FASHION LETTER THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY What a blessing the new rucked sleeves are for girls with thin arms! Given the right description of lace, chiffon, and moderate care in the matter of construction, these sleeves cannot fail to be becoming to the arms—and hands! Yes, very specially the latter, because sleeves which reach well over the wrists have a happy way of making the hands look wonderfully small and white. Evening gowns for quiet parties, of black mousseline de sole, look fascinating when made in the pinfoare style, with the bodice drawn up over a transparent blouse of ivory point d'Esprit. This blouse should be cut a little low at the neck, with bebe ribbons run through a soft tucker of chiffon, and the sleeves should be finely rucked from shoulder to wrist. A gown of this genre, with a waistband of Sevres blue mirror velvet and a touch of blue at the breast, could not fall to look charming, and it would be exactly the rich thing for dinner wear at one of the big hotels or restaurants. It is important to realize that tucked sleeves should fit the arms tightly, or practically so; in fact, the pressure of the material on the arms should be sufficiently insistent to keep An Original and Pretty Design. the tiny folds in place. In all cases tucked sleeves should be cut "on the cross," and it is a good idea to have half a dozen very small hooks and eyes on the under seam near the wrist. Of the making of fringes, and of the wearing of same, there is no end! All the new linen frocks are trimmed with fringes, and also with many tassels, and superfringes are posed on evening gowns of crepe de chine, velvet and taffetas. With these fringes blas folds of material are very much used; indeed blas folds are playing an important part in the fashions of the hour. Frequently they are of the same material as the skirt, but sometimes they are of velvet and of satin in a slightly deeper tone of color. Graduated bands of velvet ribbon run the blas folds very close, as a skirt trimming, but the ribbons belong, almost exclusively, to the world of robes d'interieur, whilst blas folds are lavishly used on dinner gowns. Quite the most attractive of the patticoats worn with the blue serge tailor-made frocks are black and white striped satin, the lines perpendicular For Spring Wear. On the skirt and horizontally placed on the flounce, which is either kilted or plainly hemmed or decorated with medallions of black lace. Another good silk petticoat is made in shot silk with double-kilted flounces into Vandykes at the edge, no other trimming be voussafed. These, too, are particularly suited to the wonderful happy wonderies, of fuscia-infarina top over your point petticoat of double-width alpaca in black and white check, with a shaped flounce trimmed with three graduated rows of black velvet ribbon. It is necessary to buy the best quality alpaca and then I would guarantee its wear for three seasons. The same virtue, I regret to say, cannot be accredited to any known make of glace silk, nor accorded to any tried brocade or stripes. And, writing the word stripes, I am tempted to insist again upon their amazing popularity. Not alone are there striped tweeds and striped cashmeres and striped silks, but there are striped voiles and crepe de chines, these last looking their best in black when the stripe is of satin, and is really a new edition of our old friend the satin-striped grenadine, but exhibiting much improvement from the softer fabric with which it is allied. It cannot be truly said that the fashions lean amiably towards the desires of the thrifty, whom I would advise to remain faithful to the tailor-made cloth coat and skirt until the summer is quite established, when under clever home directions plain volles may be successfully treated in combination with vest and undersleeves of ecru figured net, special trouble being taken to secure the wide armhole of Japanese style, which is, indeed, easy enough to achieve, and is like to enjoy a continued run of popularity. As I have previously said, it is not difficult to manipulate, and will conceal in its hanging folds a few of those defects without which the amateur-made costume is never quite complete. Minor matters which are just now receiving special attention are belts and buckles, the newest of the latter being of filigree gold raised alnflost in dome shape and decorated in the center with a single large jewel, amethyst, or olivine for choice. The belts are of leather of all colors, soft or shiny of surface, and the elastic belts still intrude in every conceivable color, the newest elastic being of gold and of gold and silver interwoven. The plaid patent leather belt is perhaps more novel than attractive, and to the really slim waist no belt is more becoming than that contrived from a wide piece of ribbon pinned into the center of the back and drawn tightly through a chased silver or gold buckle in the front. But these are particularly suited to the volle or silk frock, the cloth coat and skirt of our immediate desires call for sterner stuff, and for these leather and kid I would most highly recommend, holding a special brief for those which are shaped slightly in the center at the back and possess only one buckle, that one buckle being set in the front. One of the Early Victims. The frog, in trying to be as big as a fox, had inflated itself until it burst, substantially as related in the standard historical works. "I'm!" exclaimed the ox. "That's the worst case of exaggerated ego I ever saw." Meanwhile the frog, as such, had disappeared, and being unable to collect itself it attempted no reply.—Chicago Tribune. In Uno.01 There is Strength. GA D. 43. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1907. SOMETRUTH! FORAKER VS. TAFT! When the Latter "Knocked" All the Ohio Republican Candidates—Roosevelt Not So Popular. New Orleans, La.—Ex-Chairman M. A. Neff, of the Ohio state democratic campaign committee, was here recently, free to discuss the present muddle in the political situation in the Buckeye state. Mr. Neff stated that the fight now being waged between Secretary Taft and Mr. Burton on one side, and Senators Foraker and Dick on the other, will eventually result in the elimination of Taft and Burton from Ohio politics. Speaking of the situation, Mr. Neff said: "It is all a brow-beating affair as it stands, and people outside of those directly interested in the situation in Ohio do not know the inside facts and freely predict a victory for Taft and Burton. The truth of the whole matter is that when Foraker and Dick get through with the others they will have all the starch of their political aspiration taken out. Taft is no politician, and what tells more against him is his utter isolation. Why, he has not one hundred influential friends in the state of Ohio, and is one of the most unpopular politicians that I know of. On the other hand, Foraker will have the backing of every business man in the state, and if he gets the presidential nomination there will not be a Negro in the United States who will hold office without the backing of Foraker. There are other forces which Mr. Taft will find arrayed against him when the final test is made. The crowd whom Roosevelt helped to defeat in the municipal election, by sending Taft to Akron to make a speech, have not forgotten and will not forgive and there will not be a hand raised to assist Taft into the presidential chair. Ohio is the hotbed of national politics. The situation is now so complicated that the public at large cannot understand the real meaning of it at all. Taft apparently does not realize the enormity of his doosie that he can beat Foraker for possession on one side and believe that Taft will lose out. "President Roosevelt is not half as popular as people believe him to be" continued Mr. Neff. "His participation in the Brownville affair has lost him prestige on one side and gained him nothing on the other. His position at the present time is very similar to the position of Grover Cleveland toward the expiration of his term in the White House. Both Senators Dick and Foraker are too well disciplined to come to the front at the present time and until the stricken by a bomb when they will stand like a stone wall against the attack of their opponents. And when it is all over there will be nothing left for Taft and Burton, and President Roosevelt will see one of his Idols shattered like a myth." Mr. Neff was at one time one of the most ardent republicans in the state of Ohio. His home is in Cincinnati, having moved there after spending his boyhood and receiving his education in the south. He is the closest friend of William J. Bryan, and when the Nebraskan was made democratic candidate, Mr. Neff supported him, taking the seat of the chief justice of the north and east. He is now retired from politics and engaged in the publishing business. He is the editor of the Business Age, one of the leading commercial journals. F. L. McGHEE, ESQ. Writes on the Pope-Virginia "Jim Crow" Car Case—A Great Victory. St. Paul, Minn., May 23, 1907. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor Gazette. My Dear Colleague: I have to sincerely thank you for the valuable assistance you rendered the legal department of the Niagara Movement some months ago in securing, at my request, contributions from Messrs. W. B. Wright, Chas W. Chesnutt, A. T. Abbott, J. E. Reed and Geo. FREDRICK L. McGHEE. W. Johnson to our civil rights defense fund and contributing a like amount yourself, for which I acknowledge receipt. I am afraid our people have not yet fully understood how very far-reaching is the victory we won in the Pope case. This is the status in Virginia since the Pope case: Virginia has a law that prohibits Negroes and whites riding in the same coach, but if GAZETTE. a Negro refuses to ride in the "Jim Crow" cars there is no law in Virginia by which he can be punished for so refusing. He cannot be arrested, cannot be imprisoned, and cannot be fined, and this is true not only as to interstate passengers, but also as to persons who might travel from any point in Virginia to another point wholly in the state. In this respect we have won a greater victory than was won in the Hart case in Maryland. The point upon which this was decided was first raised by Clement G. Morgan, esq., of Boston, Mass., and the honor is due him for the happy result. Negroes who will go to Jamestown to the exposition cannot be "Jim Crow" on the coast, and this privilege is due to the effort of aggrandize. The law of Virginia will compulsory upon the railroad company and conductors to provide separate accommodations and to compel the separation of the races, and the only hope that is left the people of Virginia is that the railroads will enforce this requirement. We have pending a civil action in which we are sure that this provision will also be declared void, and we hope that Negroes will refuse to go in the "Jim Crow" cars and afford us further opportunity to test the law. The cost of fighting this case has been remarkably small, and while it has not all been paid for, let us hope that the Negroes of our country will rally to our standard and enable us to not only fulfill our pledge incurred in this case, but to institute and prosecute other cases in other cities where they will be no place where Negroes will be compelled undergo the contumely and insults caused by legislative segregation. This will surely follow the decision that inter-state passengers cannot be compelled to ride in "Jim Crow" cars, and that such decision will be had we have not the slightest doubt. Very truly yours.

Dear Sir—Indorsement for president of any man who condones disfranchisement of American citizens and apologizes for the war amendments would make Ohio ridiculous. SENATOR DICK.

In every community where there are colored people in such number as to quite fully make up the republican majority, your intelligent local leaders ought to insist upon whomever seeks their support for local candidates this year, and the candidate himself, declaring for Senator Foraker. In this way they can do a wonderful good. For instance in Columbus there are fully 4,000 colored voters. Our natural republican majority is 3,000.

Reminds Them of Testimony Given During Former Hearings in the Brownsville Investigation Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.—The senate committee on military affairs reconvened on May 14 and renewed its investigation into the alleged Brownville affray. When the committee closed its sessions, prior to the recess, all of the enlisted men needed as witnesses and practically all of the officers of the Twenty-fifth infantry had been heard. This includes many white soldiers and officers of the Twenty-sixth infantry which vacated Ft. Brown for "The Black Battalion." More than half a hundred witnesses had been examined before the recess and not one atom of testimony had been obtained tending to show that our soldiers dismissed without honor had been guilty of the crime for which they were punished. There appeared as witnesses soldiers and civilians, officers and privates, Americans and Mexicans, black and white—showing beyond a reasonable doubt the innocence of our soldiers. Senator Foraker now feels sure of not being able to prove "The Black Battalion" innocent of the crime charged, but also to show precisely who did do the shooting. He has spent of his own money nearly $800 gathering testimony of great value to our soldiers in this inquiry. Judge Foraker is a practicing attorney of the state experience, and is now, since 1995, sparing himself of the greatest orator, jurist and statesman in the United States senate. This is generally acknowledged. When he uncovers the guilty persons in that Brownville affair another sensation will be caused which will interest the country almost as much as President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, who have moved "heaven and earth" to help the prejudiced residents of Brownville, Tex., to fasten a fearful crime upon 167 innocent Afro-American soldiers, and through them, upon the entire race. Since the senate committee on military affairs reopened the investigation, on the 14th, presides at the victims and the Mexican police of Brownville, only on the 10 (policemen) of whom is able speak a little English, and he was shot in the arm the night of the alleged riot, have appeared upon the stand as witnesses against our soldiers, occupying up-to-date the entire time of the committee. Three members of alleged police force were on the stand Monday and all became greatly confused under cross-examination by Senator Foraker when he called attention to discrepancies between their stories today and those told on the stand on previous occasions. Policeman Victoria Fernandez testified that he heard the shooting and as he saw him from his home he was summoned to the court in the almoon, where he found the bartender dead. He gave it as his opinion that the man had been killed by soldiers. He said he had seen no soldiers that night, as most of the shooting was over before he got down town. Senator Foraker called attention to the testimony before the citizens committee in Brownville two days after the affray, when Fernandez told a vivid story of having been chased by two soldiers who fired several shots at him. He denied that he had given such testimony and as a result Senator Foraker gave him a very uncomfortable hour and told him that he wanted him back on the stand at another policeman, Ramirez, another policeman, who claimed to understand English well enough to get along without an interpreter, became greatly entangled also and blamed the stenographer who reported the proceedings before the citizens committee and before Assistant General Purdy. It now begins to look as if Brownville residents will soon be in the same ridiculous light before the country that the loud-mouthed prejudiced south was immediately after the now famous Booker Washington "Teddy" Roosevelt dinner. Made Almost a Force of Hart Suit. One cent damage for Prof. W. H. H. Hart, who brought suit against the Pennsylvania railroad to recover $20,000 for alleged illegal arrest and imprisonment, was the verdict of a jury in circuit court No. 1, before Justice Wright, May 15. The case involved the Maryland "Jim Crow" car law. The plaintiff alleged that while traveling on first-class passage in one of the company's trains August 29, he was removed from the train at Elkton, Md., arrested by a deputy sheriff and incarcerated for three days in jail. During the trial he attempted to prove that the company's agents were primarily responsible for his arrest. At time of Attorney Hart's arrest and imprisonment he was making a trip from Boston to Washington with his sister, Clementine Bartlett, whose claim for $30,000 damages against the company, upon practically the same grounds, will be considered later. The editor of The Gazette lectured in Troy Friday evening week in Wellsburg, W. Va., last week Monday evening and in Kenon Monday evening. On the 30th he will speak in Limn. He returned last week Wednesday evening from the Columbus race conference delighted with the grand gathering.

What have you to say, Editor Chavers, of the Columbus支顿 anent the Chicago Record-Herald charge published elsewhere in the editorial columns of The Gazette to-day? Encourage the organization of a Foraker club in your community to affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American League and then see that it adopts the league's anti-Taft resolutions and "Declaration of Principles." Let us get ready to battle for our great and good friend, Senator Foraker, even as he has fought for our soldier boys of "The Black Battalion," and for the race for a quarter of a century. 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 and the minds of many 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 Ohio 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-Roosevelting Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battalion." it is high time for others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line. NO TAFT IN OURS. Last fall, a year ago, the writer was a candidate on the republican ticket for a fourth term in the Ohio 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. Herrick (who did help to help himself down to defeat, we will admit) and hundreds of local republican candidates throughout the state. Now comes Mr. Cox 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 nominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alight 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 Brownsville 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. MALICIOUS LIES. About the only grain of comfort coming to the Foraker forces within a recent period is the action to-day of a conference of colored republicans, which originally was designed to make a protest against the endorsement of Secretary Taft by the party gathering which was called off. The colored brethren adopted resolutions against Taft because he is favored by President Roosevelt, denouncing Roosevelt in general terms because it is alleged he is not a friend of the Negro, and declaring for Foraker for anything he or retirement to private life membership were 27 delegates at the colored convention and seven of them came from outside of Columbus. The editor of a paper that purports to represent the interests of the colored race visited a Taft leader to-day and submitted some editorials that were very noncommittal, together with a request for information regarding the true situation over which the colored population has been agitated. The editor said he wanted to make his paper a great moral force and told with eloquence how he had no patience with those of his race who were led astray by blind prejudice and political agitators. The man from whom he sought information was impressed by the sincere tone of his visitor, and spent the better part of an hour preaching Roosevelt doctrine and the square deal to him. The interview ended, however, with a suggestion from the editor that he needed $100 right away to keep his great moral agency affoat, and finally came down to $25, which he said he to-do was to pay a bill to keep his presses running. No, he billled done with him. It is not known how the noncommittal editorials he submitted for perusal will appear in the next issue of his paper—Chicago Record-Herald, May 16, '07. There were only two editors in the Columbus race conference of last week Wednesday—Pearl D. Chavers, of the Columbus Standard, and the writer, who called the meeting. We have no "presses," therefore the Record-Herald must be striking at Editor Chavers, who has presses. The Herald is telling a malicious lie and, too, in the face of every newspaper report except that of the Cincinnati Enquirer (dem.), when it says there was only "twenty-seven delegates" in attendance upon the conference, and that "seven of them came from outside of Columbus." We are prepared to believe that the Record-Herald is telling another malicious lie when it brings the charge against Mr. Chavers it has made. We do not believe him as dirty and low as it tries to make him out to be. Representatives of all the Columbus papers saw the conference delegates file from the hall and call upon Gov. Harris, and announced that there were nearly one hundred in the crowd. More than this, there were not seven Columbus delegates in the gathering. All of which shows the despicable methods the Taft people have used to "bull" Ohio and the country into the support of their alleged presidential candidate, and encourage abuse of Senator Foraker. Another very significant thing is the fact that the Taft press of Ohio and the country have up to this writing steadfastly refused to publish the anti-Taft resolutions adopted at the conference and republished elsewhere in this paper. It is certainly a dirty, low and contemptible fight the Taft people and the press of this state particularly, are conducting. It will not win, either. Mark our prediction! The Senator's Thanks.

Benedictines Will Revise the Vulgate. London, Eng. in a dispatch from Rome, the correspondent of the Times says he learns the pope has issued a decree entrus.ng the entire revision of the Vulgate to the Benedictine order. This is the most important decision yet announced as an outcome of the biblical commission appointed by Leo XIII. Herr Mauer, the inventor of the Mauser rifle, has invented an improved mechanism by which the weapon is automatically reloaded from a cartridge chamber after firing. He believes that the improvement is so great that it must be adopted by all modern armies. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 25, 194. Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio Afro-American League and Officers. 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 halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and 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 bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage and to death the glorious emblem of our country and stripes, he is not in a position 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 Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf, and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any 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 we believe in the inherent right of every American can citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "Having the most profound regard for generation after generation, the most present father of present." secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, 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. Taff, 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 would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted 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, Steinbenville, "J. M. Glimere, 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, as 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, viewed 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 his ill-nocent color officers as a reason of the alleged Brassamville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it. Resolved, That we, as law-binding 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. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the bribery and mutilation 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 call upon our brethren throughout this great state, 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 for deleting 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.

Trolley Cars Collided New York.—Thirty persons were injured, some seriously, in a collision between a three-car electric train bound for New York from Coney Island and a trolley car of the Fifty-ninth street line at Bath Beach last night. The collision occurred at a point where the two lines cross at right angles. The trolley car was struck by the electric train and all three lines. Its passengers suffered injuries. The count and motormen of both the electric train and trolley car and the flagman stationed at the crossing were arrested. SENATOR FORAKER. The Ohio Veterans Have All Confidence and Admiration for Him. Editor Washington (D. C.) National Tribune; in reading your article of March 28, headed "The Man Roosevelt Wants," you say "President Roosevelt is determined to crush Senator Foraker, wants to drive him from public life, wants to conclude the senator's career in anything but popular favor." Ohio has politicians that will stand by Senator Foraker as long as he lives and then honor his memory; Ohio has soldiers that admire Senator Foraker and will vote for him whenever he is running for any office, and they have sons that will vote for him for president if they choose the chance, and Ohio has businessmen that will succeed in side in every contest he may enter, for they know Joseph Benson Foraker is a brave, fearless lawyer of authority, with no superior in the United States senate and very few equals and that there is no man in public life now in Ohio or out of it that is his superior in mental force as a master character, Foraker and Dick have a political machine in Ohio, with a brave, noble old soldier in the governor's chair at Columbus named Harris, who at a firm grip on the situation, with an attorney named Warnock, who will march to the music of the Union according to the music and tune with a swing that means victory, under Foraker this fall and next fall in the ballot box. Taft's Akron speech will be the red flag, with his free trade views that will cause him and his following to fall outside of the breastworks, Roosevelt is not the only honest man, and the voters of Ohio will not let him do their thinking and voting, and the Taft boom will run its course the same as the Daughter and Burton boom did at Dayton last year, and Herrick's enclosure of Taft will do its work to its glory a globe trotter and run well on water in foreign lands, but on land in Ohio, at the ballot box, he will be in the also ran class unless Dick and Foraker put the seal on his credentials at the state convention. Seventy-five thousand soldiers vote in Ohio, and their influence will be for Foraker. D. W. Wood, 2d Ohio, Newark, O. Will Preach K. of P.'s Annual Sermon.

Former Employees of the Enterprise National Bank, on Allegheny, are Put on the Rack. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Thomas W. Harvey, former paying teller of the Enterprise national bank, of Alleghey, which failed two years ago for over a million dollars, was placed on trial before Judge Ewing in the United States district court Wednesday. Harvey has been indicted on charges of making false entries, abstracting funds, misapplication of funds and aiding Lee Clark, the cashier, in the misapplication of funds. Clark subsequently committed suicide. Edward P. McMillan, interest bookkeeper of the defunct institution, was to have been tried first, but following a conference between the accused man, his wife and attorneys in the court room, he pleaded guilty to the charges. The case of Harvey, charged with the same offense, was then taken up. Three other employees of the bank and Forest Nichols, secretary to William B. Andrews, territorial delegate to congress from New Mexico, will also be tried in connection with the failure. Assistant United States District Attorney Gibson opened the case for the government yesterday. He reaffirmed the number of figures from the bank book including a check for $1,000 that Harvey is accused of falsely handling, and the irregular entries of various sums aggregating $25,000. He alleged that the actions of Harvey and other indicted employees were made with full knowledge that he and they criminally acted to deceive the directors of the "dilapidated" institution and the United States bank examiner. He spoke that the employees made the reports of the statement book, which was prepared to govern the actions of the bank's directors. The defense will attempt to show that all the clerks under indictment were absolutely under the control of Lee Clark, the cashier; that he alone was responsible for the trouble in the bank; that the clerks of the bank were figureheads and that all the false entries and defalcations were made by Clark. It will be the defense that entries which are alleged to be false in the case of Harvey were made under the positive orders of Clark. United States Bank Examiner John B. Cunningham was the first witness called by the government. The witness spent much time in explaining how he made an examination of the affairs of the bank. A MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT Eight Children Injured, One Fatally When the Contents of an Ash Can Exploded. New York.—A terrific explosion in Mott street Wednesday seri. New York, May 23.—A terrific explosion in Mott street Wednesday seriously injured eight children, three of them probably fatally, and struck terror to the hearts of hundreds in the condition shrughead. For a time a condition upended upon public ed in the neighborhood and it was not until a large force of police had been summoned that order was restored. The cause of the explosion has not yet been explained. Last night one of the children, a boy aged 8 years, died in a hospital. Residents of the neighborhood believe the act due to the so-called Black Hand society. The police inline to the belief that the explosion was an accident and was due to negligence. A few days ago there was a celebration fallaion quarter, and the police think it was used on that occasion found its way into an ash can and was mysteriously discharged while the can was standing on the sidewalk. When the explosion came the street was filled with pedestrians and romping children. An ash can which had been standing by the curb exploded and every person on the street within a radius of 50 feet was thrown to the ground.

Pittsburg, Pa. — Two Americans, well known mill men, and three foreigners were cremated and four foreigners were seriously burned last night when an explosion occurred at the Eliza furnace No. 1, of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co., in the Hazelwood district of the city. Of a crew of ten men at the furnace when the accident happened only one, a foreigner, escaped uninjured. The dead: E. B. Willard, assistant furnace superintendent. John A. West, head blower. Three unknown foreigners. The accident occurred without a moment's warning. The ten men were about ready to draw off the molten metal when the ore slipped, falling to the bottom of the furnace. The heavy weight of the ore forced the gas with terrific pressure through the first dust catcher, which was unable to stand the strain and therefore burst. A tremendous roar accompanied the breaking of the dust catcher and before the men could escape they were caught by the flames. Willard, West and the foreigners were directly in front of the furnace. The five other men were back several yards. For fully ten minutes the flames shook, squeezing the furnace for a great distance and when finally the gas was turned off only a few bones of the five men were found. The four injured men were caught by the first flash and severely burned, but were able to escape before they fell to the ground, writhing in agony. The uninjured foreigner says that the force of the explosion A RACE WAR IN GEORGIA. Two Negroes Lynched, Four Other Persons Dead Injured Result Reidsville, Ga. — Two negroes lynched and four other persons dead and six others injured is the net result of an attempted criminal assault made Monday night on Mrs. Laura Moore, white, a widow, about six miles from here by Flem Padgett, a negro. Two of the Padgett family are the ones lynched and the death or injury of the others followed the efforts of a posse to capture Padgett. News of the attempted assault aroused the citizens, went to the home of the negro's father. He assured the crowd that his son was not in the house and invited the posse to seize the house. A man approached the house Flem Padgett fired on the crowd, killing a white man named Hare and wounding four others. The crowd fired a volley into the house, killing the old negro Padgett and two of his daughters, and wounding two of his sons, one of whom was Flem Padgett, the man wanted. After the cooler heads had left the scene of the killing the hot-headed element employed a young man to take Padgett's wife and one of the Padgett boys, who was shot through the head. Later, under the party followed, took the prisoner from the young man in charge and riddled them with buckshot. FOR PERIURY AND FORGERY A Grand Jury Indicts the President of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.

He will leave soon for Athens to attend a meeting of the trustees of the state university branch there. Lillian B. Moore, daughter of Rev, and Mrs. Alex. Moore, and William H. Perkins, of Romulus, Mich., were quietly married May 16 at the bride's parents in Wellington. The ceremony was performed by the bride's father. She wore white silk mull trimmed in valenciennes lace. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Perkins, Mrs. Alfred A. Moore, of Cleveland, and Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Semple, of Wellington. Light refreshments were served. The happy couple left for Cleveland enroute to their home in Michigan. The meeting on the street railway question and counselmatic candidates held in Woodliff hall Tuesday evening proved rather an interesting affair. There is one thing, however, that the meeting failed to discuss which ought to have been brought up by some of our people present, and that is, why between three and five hundred allens and about 25 naturalized Italian Americans are hired by the street car company to do all the work up central avenue, and not a single Afro-American, All of our men are voters and republicans. Nearly all of the naturalized Italians employed are Tom Johnson followers. There are a number of our men who would not only make good foremen, but also good laborers. The street car company does not seem to realize this fact. Writing Wilbur King, Esq, of Columbus, on May 13, Geo. A. Myers, of this city, said: "I have just received a telegram from Dr. Wren, inviting me to attend a meeting of Senator Foraker's friends to be held at Columbus on Wednesday, May 15. It being impossible for me to attend and not having Dr. Wren's address, I am writing you to say that I am in full accord with the interest by our people to further the interest. Senator Foraker. In fact I cannot how any colored man in Ohio or elsewhere can consistently be otherwise. I quite a lengthy letter to our mutual friend, Hon. W. H. Copeland, our member on the 'republican state executive committee,' last Saturday evening, suggesting that as our only representative eligible to the 'peace conference,' that he should speak out in meeting and serve notice upon them that the 40,000 colored voters of Ohio, will resent any humiliation of Senator the straight denominate ticket. I for one, believe in going the limit for Senator Foraker and those who us. I sincerely hope that the meeting will be a success. If Senator Foraker is to go down, I for one will go down with him, with my colors flying." Excellent! The color line cropped out at the Tuesday session of the annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians in Acme hall, and Delegate Arreco, of Birmingham, Ala., was squeaked when President Joseph Webber finished his appeal for justice "to all mankind." The delegate had urged conditions that would have put the Negro out of the organization. "Way down in Alabama the line is drawn taut against Negro musicians. White men won't play with black men. It's a trust down there," said Frank Spegle, of Denver, Col., when he jumped to his feet. "Here we have three Negro delegates, members of our organization in good standing. I'm for the square deal. Down in Alabama they want to make a white man's dues $25 and a Negro $50. That isn't justice." Spegle's declaration created an improp. President Webber created an improp. in minutes in behalf of the Negro, receiving audits of the 250 delegates, after which Pegate Arreco was down and out. "We know," said President Webber, "what our southern brothers have to contend with, but according to the laws of this organization, the color line is not drawn, so we will not buyout the Negro so long as he is in good condition. Arreco threatened to withdraw from the federation and, after finding that such action wouldn't disrupt the national body, he changed his mind.

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 25 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.

KYE'S CREAM BALM FOR COLD CAPTIONING HEALTHY HEARTS WEAR EYE BROWS MRS.NELLIE MAKHAM A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of hysteresis, is a source of misery to everyone who comes under her arms and unhappy and miserable herself. Such women not only drive husbands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children. The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, the irritability, sleeplessness, and muscular irritability arise from some organic derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with extreme irritability? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing-down pains, nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snuppy? If so, your nerves are a shattered condition and you are threatened with prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's compound, native roots and herbs, Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellie Makham, of 151 Morgan St. Buffalo, N. Y., writes:— NO KISSING IN CHURCH. Galician Peasants Punished for Untimely Osculation. Twenty Ruthenian peasants belonging to Ispas, in Galicia, have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, from a week to a month, for kissing each other in church. A feud has arisen between two parties in the town, and the priest preached a sermon in which he urged the peasants to make friends before they came to church again. They took him at his word, and on the following Sunday the two hostile parties marched up the church side by side, and kissed the altar. Then they solemnly shook hands and kissed one another on both checks in the Polish fashion to seal the reconciliation. The kissing scene excited loud laughter among the members of the congregation, and the priest prosecuted the peasants for unseemly conduct in church. The court held that a church is no place for kissing and found the peasants guilty. ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS. Girl's Rash Spread and Grew Worse Under Specialist's Care—Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "When my daughter was a baby she had a breaking out behind the ears. The doctor said that she would outgrow it, and it did get somewhat better until she was about fifteen years old, and after that she could get nothing that would drive it away. She was always applying something in the way of salves. It troubled her behind the knees, opposite the elbows, back of the neck and ears, under the chin, and then it got on the face. That was about three years ago. She took treatment with a specialist and seemed to get worse all the time. We were then advised to try the Cuticura Remedies, and now I don't see any breaking out. M.

Paper milk "bottles" are all very fine and doubtless will solve the vexed question of the pure milk supply, but how about the extra demand on the wood pulp? Pails and bottles that shall be used but once must be made by the millions, and it is plain to foresee that forests and woodlands will suffer in consequence from this "extra" industry. It is said in London these paper pails, called "cans" over here, are of a very simple contrivance, 12 times lighter than the ordinary milk can and of very strong manufacture, finished off after being rendered waterproof by being sterilized in a furace heated up to 500 degress Fahrenheit. They will be cheaper than tin or metal cars and glass bottles that the majority of careless consumers fall to wash after using.

Pretty Phasee That Was Most Woof fully Misunderstood. That the effect of a choice and appropriate phrase is sometimes lost and oftimes woefully misinterpreted it well illustrated in an incident connected with the death of a Virginia lawyer. During the man's illness the wires were disconnected which attached the bell to the old-fashioned pull knob on the front door. A messenger boy came to the house one morning and began pulling at the bell. There was no response. He continued to jerk the ancient knob vigorously. A white-haired gentleman finally appeared, who raised his hand warningly and said: "My boy, the silver cord has been severed." "Is that so?" exploded the boy. "From the way it acted I thought the whole darn thing was busted."—N. Y.

The poor bless and curse it; the rich don't know what to do with it; there isn't a handful of happiness in a ton of it. Here comes a bill collector now, to get what little I haven't got. Stay here and entertain him while I climb to the roof!"—Atlanta Constitution. An Accommodating Peg. An Accommodating Peg. One of the disadvantages of modern shoe-making machinery is that the peg won't fit itself into the hole. Time was, according to Mayor E. F. Brown, of Mariboro, Mass., when it was much more accommodating. "One day," he recently informed the Boot and Shoe club, "my father, a pioneer in the business, hit the peg and it flew up. What happened? Probably you won't believe me, but it's a fact all the same. The peg hit the ceiling, came down exactly into the hole and was driven in.

It was lucky for him that he got two seconds start in the race for the door. —Pearson's Weekly. Any woman can make a dollar go so far that her husband will never see it again. FIT THE GROCER Wife Made the Suggestion. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took some a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared and to-day I am all right. I would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason." Read, "The Road to Welville," in pkgs.
