THE The STYLES A MUSHROOM HAT LATEST IN SHIRT WAISTS A marked feature of the present season is the novelties which are appearing in the realm of fashion. Conspicuous among these novelties may be mentioned the Japanese outline of the bodice, which is permitted to stamp its popularity upon the blouse, notably upon the lace blouse which looks very well, indeed, under such conditions. I would quote a capital example made in a combination of thick white gulure striped with lines of black velvet ribbon over a fine lace front, and destined to be worn with a fine lace skirt bordered with coarse lace—a very good dress altogether. Besides this, I would observe the addition to the lace blouse of more ordinary detail, of braces of ribbon, short wide sleeves of ribbon, and a belt with sash ends of ribbon. Such ribbon could be chine with a satin border. This needs a slim figure for its best success, and those who are at all stout should trust themselves to the simpler belts of ribbon, kid, or leather, or striped galon. This last is comparatively new, and is to be met with the buckle covered to match. The elastic belt continues to receive it supporters, and shines beneath the influence of gold and silver. It may also be found faced with velvet, and only under one condition could I be induced to recognize its plausible charms. But to proceed with my list of trifles. I comment with joy on the continued favor shown to the lawn and linen collar, recognizing that the former daily assumes a finer aspect and is traced with finer stitching, no minute details of design seeming to be too intricate to do it service. For the prodigal, summer blouses are made entirely of such luxuries as this finely embroidered lawn, costing no LATEST INS It is the recognized fact in Europe that American women are the most extensive wearers and the keenest critics of the shirt-waist, and for this reason they are constantly on the alert for new designs in that particular article of apparel. The tailor-made shirt-waist is, like all rude-to-measure garments, distinguishable for its smartness of cut and fit, and more and more are women appreciating this fact. The two strong points in favor of the shirt-waist are the multitude of shades and designs and clothes in which it may be obtained, and the comparative cheapness of this indispensable article of dress. Freshly laudried, what looks fresher or more attractive than a well-made, well-fitting shirt-waist. The shirt-waist worn by the lady to the right in our illustration above is made in the gauze cashmere, which, being pure wool, is absolutely unshrinkable. Other good qualities of the goods and which should be sought for in a garment of this kind are the smooth, clean surfaces which are retained even after much wear and many In Union There is Strength. ment less than eight guineas; and perhaps their charm is only discernible to the expert, and nine women out of ten would be as content with the linen bastie blouse, bearing hem-stitched tucks intersected with small satin-stitched spots, and to these latter I confess I am much addicted, finding they look equally well with glace coats or cloth or clerse. of omes There are some pretty new models in glace coats, some taking the straight Japanese outline and being covered with silken braid, others being in the paletot shape with a belt at the waist and an embroidered collar round the neck, and a few black tassels on the front, and the sleeves striking a decorative note. The most extravagant form of the glace coat, however, is embroidered all over with floss silk, and bears a thickly netted silken fringe all round it. for are to the three-quarter coats, fitting almost tightly, and bearing no fullness in the basque, are suggestive of the Directoire period with their large buttons and the sleeves full on the top, but the absence of fulness on the skirt contradicts this impression to some extent. may and be able of the own All the best of the new skirts are cut on the cross, with a seam down the center, and fitted tightly round the hips, while their decoration is either braid or flatly-stitched bands upon the hem and above it.

I can look forward to meeting it again with much pleasure. SHIRT WAISTS washings and the happy knack of neither creasing nor crushing. This quality of cashmere comes in small checks and other neat effects which look so well with plain coat and skirt costumes, and which like so many of the shirt-waists, is made with ordinary collar band, although this may be changed to suit the individual taste. In the central figure of the illustration is displayed a waist made of cotton material which is exceedingly smart in its effect. It is of white body ground, patterned with blue stripe. Japeen is a new but very popular material for shirt-waists, in fact it is so durable and so desirable from every standpoint of the shirt-waist requirement that it is being more and more used. Japeen is a material made of Egyptian cotton and silk, and has a pretty silky appearance which it retains to the last. One of these Japeen waists is sketched in our illustration and is the one to the extreme left. The shade is a delicate mauve with a little star-shaped spot in the same color. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1907. Roosevelt Also Scored Unmercifully Because They Have Vitally Injured the Race. (Special to The Gazette.) Washington, D. C.—The mass meeting held in True Reformers' hall May 27 was a grand success, in spite of the false reports in one of the local daily papers. The 500 persons present were most enthusiastic indeed. Rev. J. Milton Waldron, chairman of the evening, was introduced by the promoter of the meeting, Mr. W. T. Ferguson, who has been highly praised on all sides for its splendid success. In assuming the chair, the Rev. Waldron spoke in part as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: Hon. Archibald H. Grimke. I am not a politician, nor am I an aspirant for political honors or emoluments. I have never held any kind of governmental position, nor do I ever expect to hold any. I am a humble minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, commissioned by the God of heaven and earth to preach the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of men and the Messiahship of that Christ. I am an American citizen and identified with those whom some are pleased to call the weaker race," and I would consummate less than a man, and unworthy a high calling of a minister of Christ Jesus. I were to refuse to espouse the Jesus case, to oppress and weak against the strong, and the mighty when there was an opportunity to do so. As I understand it, this meeting has been called not to abuse anyone in authority; not to secure an office for any man or set of men; not to name a presidential candidate for the republican or any other party, but to enter our solemn and many protest against the effort which certain political leaders are making to have the republican party to name as its next presidential nominee a man who unfairly enough to publicly denounce as criminals, murderers and traitors to the stars and stripes, men who never been proven guilty of any crime against the flag or the constitution of their country; we are here to say to the republican party that a man who custum and unfair enough to the entailment of ten million of the American citizens was a mistake, to no narrow and too void of the sense of justice and right to be nominated by the party of Lincoln, Sunner and Grant as president of the United States, and if such a man is nominated next year by said party, we are here to say to the republicans that the colored citizens of this country will not support him. The Hon. Wm. H. Taft has denounced as criminals, murderers and traitors to the flag certain members of our race who belonged to companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, United States army, and that, notwithstanding the fact, that these men have never been tried for, nor proven guilty of these charges. Mr. Taft has also condoned the disfranchisement of the colored citizens of America and said that their enmity and mistrust will make, and yet the republican party, in court, which 99 per cent of all the colony citizens in the United States belongs is seeking, through some of its leaders, to place upon their ticket next year as the nominee, and we are here to enter our solemn and everlasting opposition to any such action by the republican party, and we serve notice upon the party that if the Hon. Wm. H. Taft is thrust upon us we will not vote for him. And in saying this we are sure we voice the sentiment of the colored people of the entire country. The next presidential campaign is destined to be the most momentous in the history of this country and unless we are much mistaken it is sure to be a close one, and in any close contest the colored voters are sure to hold the balance of power. The colored people in six northern and west-eastern states have votes enough to carry any election, and the number of may be nearly evenly divided, and the colored Americans in those states are organizing, and the word has already gone forth that they intend casting their vote solidly against the republican party if it names the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as its nominee. The time has come when the colored man in this country has made up his mind to follow the example of his white brother in politics, as in other good things, GAZETTE. and vote against any man or party which_will not treat him justly, and for any man or party which will best serve his interests as a citizen and a man. The colored voter has been voting blindly with the republican party for the last 40 years—a solid black republican vote in the south has been the Democratic nominee he has seen this and after the black voter proposes to vote with the socialists, populists or independents, if the republican party refuses to give due recognition to the rights of the race, and this is wisdom, and every fair minded man in America will commend the colored citizen for so doing. This meeting is to serve notice upon the entire country in general, and the republican party in particular, that the Republican party will "permanently grata" with the colored voters of the United States and that if he is nominated by the republican party they will refuse to vote for him. Abstract from the Address of Hon. Archibald H. Grimke of Boston. William H. Taft, secretary of war in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, and Mr. Roosevelt's candidate for presidential honors in 1908, is a big man physically, an exceedingly supply and adroit man mentally, and an exceedingly ambitions man politically. If these be qualifications for the presidency then Mr. Secretary Taft is well equipped for that great office. No colored voter can accept them as alone sufficient to entitle any man, however big he may be in his physical proproper adroit and supply in his mental parts. He is an adroit and supple in his political ambition to reach the highest position in the republic. That man must possess above every other quality, the supreme quality of friendship to the colored race, not in words which are always cheap, but in very deed. But Mr. Secretary Taft has no such supreme quality. He has it not today and he has never had it. On the contrary his acts, his words too, have shown him on more than one occasion a real friend, the colored people. The fault we fin. with him is not that he is not able, adroit, ambitious, but that he is too much so for our best as a race. We can only judge what he would be as president by what he is today in respect to the rights and lobe les of the colored people. This political tree let is be judged. What do these fruits show Mr. Taft to be? They show him to be the pliant tool of President Roosevelt. They show him to be the pliant tool, likewise, of American color prejudice. How and when? We shall see. First: When he was governor-general of the Pilippines there arose among Americans in those islands the old American cry of colorophilia against our colored troops stationed there. The lie was invented and invented out of whole cloth that the Filipinos did not want to have the colored troops among them. And the Governor-General Taft harkened to this base lie, to this outrageous outburst of American colorophilia 8,000 miles away from its home in these states and so represented the case to the Congress in support of this demand of American in the Philippines as to secure from that government an order for the recall of every last one of our colored soldiers in those islands. And later when President Roosevelt having appointed our brave and pliant governor-general to be his secretary of war, this self-same brave secretary of war, this self-same brave secretary of war, exactly the position occupied by him when governor-general in the presence of colored troops in the Philippines. How? But thereby hanged a tale, which brings to our second indictment of Mr. Taft. Second: When President Roosevelt, from political motives best known by himself, issued his Draconian order discharging without honor or trial of any kind 167 colored soldiers on a mere suspicion and assumption of their guilt in the matter of the nature of the secretary of war with the indictment of just judge suspended for 24 hours the nature of that automatic order of his chief, but when our big war secretary, who is in every inch of his body a done and dreamed of the ill consequences which were likely to flow therefrom to his aspirations for the presidency to succeed his autocratic chief, he repented speedily in the morning and revoked with suspicion aiacity his order of suspension. And so the unjust and arbitrary order of the president was executed until every one of those 167 brave men of the Black Battalion was discharged in disgrace from the American army, which they had made glorious by brave at home abroad. But this was not all. For when abroad this public opinion and an investigation of the autocratic act by the senate, the president called on his big and pliant secretary of war to defend the order of discharge. Mr. Tatt, with a mental and moral suppleness which was most amazing, tried in his report to congress on the subject to outdo even the arbitrary author of the unjust and autocratic order in vilification of those 167 colored soldiers. And then to cap, as it were, the climax of this kind of plant service to his chief, he reversed without a blush the position taken by him when he was governor-general in the Philippines, taken by him then in slavish obedience to the commands of American colorophilia in respect to the presence of colored troops in those islands. When an obedience not less slavish to the not old commander of the army who wanted the colored troops out of the country as a punishment. I pose to the colored people for appearing from his arbitrary order of discharge to congress and the country in behalf of these deeply wronged soldiers. Secretary Taft signed the order which exciled to the Philippines every colored soldier in the regular army of the United States. Piliany the name is indeed William H. Taft and thou art secretary of war to Theodore Roosevelt, the most autocratic Continued on Second Page. Kenton.—Rev. J. W. Lewis preached a fine sermon Sunday morning, Rev. Dr. Chas, Bundy, P.

Moore, who was born in Murray county, Tennessee, in 1870, came north in 1885 and to Cleveland in 1892, where he worked in the different hotels and cafes, and finally became connected with the caterers. Mr. Moore has purchased J. W. Crawford's restaurant, lunch counter and soda fountain at 2403 Central avenue, where will be found home-made pies, family dinners, fine cigars and fresh fruits. He is a great favorite with his fellow workmen and associates, and is known by his best friends as "Old Deke," as it is said of one of our great American actors, he "has smiles for all and fondness for all," is a number of the Baptist church, K. A. P., of F. Caterers' association, Sing and Cedar clubs, the latter two being strictly of a financial nature. At present he is laboring in a great many disadvantages, common to all who start in business. But in the face of all this, he is doing a fair business and his place bids fair to become the leading restaurant of the city, and if appreciated by the citizens of Cleveland, Mr. Moore will improve it to the extent that his patrons can get anything in season at the most reasonable price. Special attention will be given to after-theatre parties, dances and other outing parties. Clubs and centers and eventing centers to meet in and spread a spread after business. Perfect satisfaction guaranteed. If Mr. Moore succeeds in his enterprise, as he is confident he will, he will give all the credit to his good and patient wife who is ever at his side to strengthen his hands. THE LODGES ACTIVE.

The recent Ohio convention of the socialist party denounced President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, and for good reasons, too. Even foreigners are beginning to see that President Roosevelt often "goes too far." The latest to speak out aloing this line is Paul Le Roy Beauilien, France's greatest economist. That Mississippi judge who compelled some fool prejudiced white jurors to serve with an Afro-American juror is another ray of sunshine from the cloudy southern sky. Bishop Satterlee is opposed to the higher education of the Afro-American, because he fears that our educated youth will refuse to be servants. He evidently needs "to be born again." Webster says a Unitarian is: "One who denies the doctrine of the Trinity, believing that God exists only in one person." Secretary Taft is a member of the Unitarian church, according to a local daily Taft organ. "Nuff sed!" J. B. Taylor, Jr., of the University of Pennsylvania, recently established his claim to being one of the few champion sprinters in the country, as well as the greatest quarter-mile runner in America. He is another credit to the race. Confederate veterans from Tennessee carrying the stars and bars and their arms were denied admission to the capitol at Washington, D. C., on June 4. There seems to be absolutely no limit to the "self-assurance" of these ex-rebels. The Niagara Movement has won its victory in the Pope case and nullified the Virginia "Jim Crow" law as far as inter-state passengers are concerned. This is a very important victory indeed, and should be generally appreciated by our people. The two baseball games between the University of Vermont and the University of Alabama teams which were arranged for June 6 and 7, were cancelled by the manager of the southern team because there were two Afro-Americans on the Vermont team. The cancellation involved a forfeit of $300. It is a pity that it did not cost the Alabama team $3,000 instead of $300. Let every loyal, race loving and grateful Afro-American in the state of Ohio who can possibly arrange to be at Wilberforce on June 20, be there to greet our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, on his arrival. Let there be such a gathering at the university's commencement on that day as the grand old institution of learning has never before had. Begin now to get ready to be at Wilberforce on Thursday, June 20. Because of a protest registered with Mayor A. C. Harper, of Los Angeles, Cal., by our people of that city, an order has been issued to the police department directing the removal of certain signs in restaurants and saloons, reading "Colored trade not desired," "Colored people will not be served," and "For Caucasians only." This course can be followed by Afro-Americans of every community who are likewise insulted by prejudiced proprietors of public places. U. S. Attorney General Bonaparte, of Baltimore, Md., has many prejudices characteristic of southern whites. Recently in a speech to an Afro-American G. A. R. post of his city he said: "A colored soldier who makes a bad record as a soldier is a danger as well as a disgrace to all colored Americans, but it is no less true that a colored voter who sells his vote and a colored citizen guilty of crime, or sunk an laxness or vice is also a danger as well as a disgrace to his race." What about the bad white soldier and voter and his race? Mr. Bonaparte might have made his comment more general, and in so doing would have been less insulting. The proportion of bad soldiers and bad voters, black or white, is entirely too small to be given such prominence in a Decoration day address, unless the attorney general was seeking to influence public opinion to a greater degree against "The Black Battalion." As a member of President Roosevelt's cabinet this is doubtless just what he was trying to do. Shame! All members of the Ohio Afro-American league and the Foraker and other clubs affiliating with it, especially the members of the executive, state, central and advisory committees of the league, are requested to meet Senator Foraker at Wilberforce on June 20, "Foraker Day." Begin now to arrange to be present on that occasion. Wilberforce's commencement exercises this year are exceptionally fine and the speech of Ohio's senior senator on June 20 will be superfine. Don't miss it! The Boston Suffrage league has protested the election of Dr. Booker T. Washington as a trustee of Howard university, and does not like the appointment of Roscoe Conkling Bruce to the assistant superintendency of the public schools of Washington, D. C. This places him in immediate charge of the colored schools of the capital. Mr. Washington's name was offered by a white man. His resignation as a trustee is asked for by the league, which is a little "hasty" to say the least. If recent dispatches to daily papers announcing that Gov. Deneen, of Illinois, stopped an inter-marriage case, because the man was an Afro-American, are true, it is high time that our people of that state "set up and take notice." Each year should see us growing more and more jealous of our citizen rights and we should mark for early defeat any public official who so far forgets himself as to permit his racial prejudice to cause him to interfere in the slightest when any Afro-American is exercising any of his citizen rights. We congratulate our good friend, Geo, W. Cook, dean of the commercial department of Howard university and a member of the District of Columbia board of charities, upon his selection as superintendent of the industrial Home school for colored children provided by congress for delinquent and dependent children at Blue Plains, D.C. Prof. Cook has been given a year's leave of absence by Howard university from July 1, when he will begin his new duties. He will resign from the board of charities. We wish him every success in his new field of labor. Prof. Cook is one of our best educators. The trial of Sheriff Shipp, his seven deputies and eighteen other "citizens" of Chattanooga, Tenn., on the charge of having assisted in the lynching of Ed Johnson, an Afro-American, after the U. S. supreme court had granted a writ of error to review the case against Johnson, was resumed at Chattanooga on June 10 before a U. S. special commissioner. The government, which is prosecuting the individuals referred to, expects to finish the case in about twenty days and the commissioner will make his report at the opening of the October term of the U. S. supreme court. It is sincerely to be hoped that success will attend its efforts. The Louisville, Ky., Afro-American council has endorsed the position of our country in opposition to the nomination of Secretary Taft, and in so doing has placed our people of that city in line with those of the rest of the country. Be sure to read carefully the portion of the speech of the Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, ex-consul to Santo Domingo, published on our first page to-day. Rev. J. G. Robinson, of Louisville, in his baccalaureate sermon at Wayman institute, Harrodburg, Ky., June 3 unmercifully scored "Roosevelt's pet," Wm. H. Taft, the Hoke Smiths, the Vardamans and the Tillmans' of the south. And the good work goes on. That color-line charge against Cyrus F. Adams, assistant register of the U. S. treasury, sent out from Washington on Tuesday to the daily news papers of the country is just so much sensational rot which W. Calvin Chase CYRUS FIELD ADAMS. of the Washington (D. C.) Bee is ever and anon giving rise to because he is black. We do not believe there is any more foundation for it than there has been for other similar charges brought originally by the same individual in years gone by.

WHAT IS THE POOR FELLOW To do in This Case, Lead or Follow? —He Should Lead!—Our People Do Not Use "Negress." In accepting the terms "Negro" and "Negress" to designate the African or Afro-American people we are sure that our men and women make a big mistake. What are we to do, however, when all of our popular speakers and writers—Prof. DuBois, Dr. Washington, Mrs. Mary Terrell, Prof. Kelly Miller, Mrs. J. Silone Yates, Bishop Turner and Bishop Walters—most of our strong men and women persist in using these inappropriate terms, what are we to do? When the lexicographical definition of "Negro" is "one belonging to Ulotrichi or woolly-haired type of mankind; a black man, especially of African blood, and particularly belonging to the stock of Senegambia, Upper Guinea and the Soudan, and when "Negress" is defined as a female of the "Negro race," "a black wench"—when these definitions are used by publicists all over to describe a sort and not a race of people it is not a degradation on our part. And we cannot see for the life of us the wisdom of designing such mixed-blood people as Dr. Washington, Dr. DuBois, Mrs. Terrell and a million or two more of their mixed-blood sort. The wise men of the race who instituted the Bethel and Zion Methodist Episcopal churches made no such mistake; they called them African Methodist Episcopal churches, and they built on flinty ethnic terminology which will abide as long as Africa occupies a place on the map of the world.—N.

Third: When this same autocratic occupant of the White House wanted some man to go south and say a smooth word, make an indirect and adroit defence of southern distranchement of the Negro and the illly white movement in those states, whom do so to do to his work, go on this delicate mission? Who, but his big and pliant secretary of war? And his big and pliant secretary of war went into North Carolina and executed his mission to the entire satisfaction of his chief and to southern race prejudice at one and the same time. Fourth and finally: When President Roosevelt wanted a man to go south and give industrial education for colored people a boom and at the same time damn with faint praise with American pity the higher education of the colored people, whom did he select to do this work, go on this delicate mission? Why, no other man than his big and pliant secretary of war, who went to Tuskegee and did exactly what his masterful and autocratic chief expected him to do. And now he is to be rewarded for all his piency to that chief and American race prejudice at our rulernous cost by the greatest position in the gift of the republic. Will the colored people help to reward such a pliant tool in the hands of their enemies as has been Mr. Secretary Taft? No, never! You say, and you say well! Among the other speakers were: Judge Mifflin W. Gibbs, of Arkansas; Dr. W. A. Sinclair, of Philadelphia, and Rev. S. L. Corrothers, of this city. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, secretary of war, is said to be the probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely heralded as the logical candidate for that honor, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greenbsoro, N. C., and at Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed discrimination against our people the undisguised violation of the constitution in the matter of distranchement of colored citizens, thereby condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of the 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried and convicted, and the military government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their barbarous punishment therefore be it Resolved, That we do not want the Hon. Wm. H. Taft for anything, the success of which depends upon colored voters, and be it further Resolved, That we, the most loyal asset of the republican party, warn its leaders that, if in the face of our earnest protest they nominate this man or any other man who says that the enfranchising of our people was a mistake or who brands us as criminals and traitors they do so at the peril of forfeiting our good will and support, and be it further Resolved, That we publish these resolutions and call upon our brethren throughout the United States to sustain our protest. TYLER'S JOB A POOR RETURN. (From the Pittsburgh Sun.) "Organs of the president's own party admit that this appointment is a slap at Foraker, since the appointee comes from Ohio. It is also said that this sip is intended TO PLACATE THE COLORED RACE FOR THE WHOLESALE DISCHARGE OF A NEGRO BATTALION FOR THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. But one $4,000-a-year job is a poor return for the throwing of 167 men out of their life work and the retirement benefits some of them were near to achieving after 25 and 26 years' service. The senatorial investigation into this matter has brought out facts in extenuation that were not made public when the president issued his hasty and unusual order of wholesale discharge. This appointment, coming under the circumstances it does, can only work mishief to all concerned. If the president had wanted to benefit and compliment the colored race, he could have done so more effectively. BUT HE COULDNT HAVE SLAPPED FORAKER, TOO." The Army and the Navy. A Methodist preacher asked a friend why he didn't join the army of the Lord. "I has—I belongs to the Baptist church." "Dat 'nit de army: dat's de navy!" ROOSEVELT "CONSISTANCY." 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 much 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 Harris be nominated 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 Brownsville Texas 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. 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 informal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Roosevelting Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownsville, 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. At a recent meeting of the Irish parliamentary party in the house of commons it was decided to fight the government both in the house and in the constituencies in order to punish the liberals for failing to give Ireland a broader measure of home rule than was needed in the detached Irish council bill. DENIES PEACE DEAL DENIES PEACE DEAL With Taft and Brands the Story of Akron Headquarters as Shrewd Campaign Lies. Washington, D. C.—Two telegrams were printed in some of the morning papers recently regarding the political situation in Ohio, and intimating that Senator Foraker had given up the fight. Senator Foraker, upon having his attention called to the reports, said: "I decline to discuss the telegram from Cincinnati announcing that Mr. Malloy, representing Senator Dick and myself, has had an interview with Mr. Charles P. Taft and others at Cincinnati with the result that Mr. Taft has graciously consented to let bygones be bygones, etc., and so on. No such interview has been had with my knowledge and approval. That is all I have to say on that point. As to the telegram from Akron that "Senator Foraker has closed up" the Forker deadquarter, I do not know until I read the telegram that I ever had any headquarters in Akron of any other place. What Senator Dick may have done, I do not know, but he has not established any headquarters to my knowledge, neither has he closed any. In other words, both of these telegrams are without any foundation in fact. They are simply so much campaign literature, doubtless emanating from a well-organized and ably conducted literary bureau."

Tuscola, The Dear Sr and Friend: I am greatly pleased to note how you are waking up the race in northern and southern states to a proper appreciation of Senator Foraker, and their self and race respect, by facilitating the investments in the *Gaze* Magazine. The Ohio A.M. American conference at Columbus, May 15, included many brave men of the race from whom much is expected in the forthcoming fight for our good friend, Senator Foraker. Its splendid "declaration of principles" and resolutions speaking out for the race, Senator Foraker and "The Black Battalion" and against Roosevelt and Taft, ought to be cut out and preserved by every loyal member of the race. Senator Foraker is our candidate for the republican nomination for the presidency next Spring years, PRAIN K. WATSON "Jim Crowd" Car Care Washington, D.

Star Witness for Prosecution in Hay wood's Trial Tells of a Series of Crimes. Boise, Idaho. — The defense on Wednesday carried the cross-examination of Harry Orchard down to the actual crime charged against Haywood, the murder of Frank Steenberg. The Steenberg crime was reached at midday, and counsel for the defense directed their efforts to an attempt to cloud the earlier purposes and movements of Orchard with uncertainty. Then they emphasized the abandonment of all efforts to kill after Orchard first tracked Steenberg to a hotel in Boise and with a skeleton key gained entrance to the room in which the governor was living. Then they delayed for a moment to prove the Orchard two wrote and once telephone to kill Easterly at Silver City to urge him to come and join in the crime and the direct implication was that Orchard was endeavoring to invigilate another federation man into the crime, which would bring dishonor to the organization. Then the witness was carried on his long journey into north Idaho and his crimes there, including a plot to kidnap and hold for ransom August Paulson's child were emphasized. Orchard swore that David Coates, formerly lieutenant governor of Colorado and later a publisher in Wallace, Idaho, first suggested the kidnapping to Petitbone and himself at Denver. Paulson, once a poor miner, had made a fortune in the Hercules mine, in which Orchard was an interest when the property was paid; and it was believed that if his children were dead he would "come up" with $50,000 or $80,000 in ransom. Orchard said when he went to north Idaho he got Jack Simpkins to enter the plot and together they went to Coates to renew the scheme. Coates was asked to stand up and Orchard said he was the man. Orchard was then asked whether he had not himself proposed the crime to Coates, who rebuffed him, and whether Jack Simpkins had not warned Paulson the minute he heard of the plot. Orchard denied both suggestions and insisted that Coates was to stay in the plot and handle the money they hoped to get from Paulson. Then the defense showed the witness in the commission of a series of mean crimes and reduced to poverty, in which he had to resort to pawning, borrowing and stealing to live, for a long period. First he pawned jewelry and guns for the hospitality of Paulson's home while he was plotting to steal Paulson's oil. After that, with Jack Simpkins he broke into the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co's station. They were after a trunkful of jewelry samples, but instead got a trunkful of shoe samples. Next he tapped a cash register at Burke for $30 or $40. THE WAR IN SALVADOR. Government Troops Defeated Rebels Who Looted Two Towns While They Were Retreating. Mexico City.—According to a cablegram received on Wednesday the Salvadoran army has defeated the invading force which captured Acajutla on Tuesday and has driven it back to the coast. One of the leaders of the invading army was John Moisant, a former resident of San Francisco, an American citizen. He is reported to have been captured by the forces of President Figueiraa. It is reported on good authority that troops are ready to invade Salvador from three sides. According to this information Gens. Toledo and Alfara are on the Honduran border ready to strike and Gen. Corea will enter the country by way of Ampala. Managua, Nicaragua.—The government was questioned on Wednesday concerning the report that Nicaragua had ordered war upon Natemala. The report was denied. Nicaragua has not declared war upon any state. San Salvador.—A force of Nicaraguan filibusters landed at Acajutia and made their way to the town of Sonsonata, where they plundered the custom house and stole $20,000 from the local agency of the Bank of Salvador. Salvadoran troops then appeared upon the scene and defeated them, preparing to back to Acajutia, where they reembarked upon some vessels flying the Nicaraguan flag and made their way out of the harbor. Got a Verdict for $101,000 Damages. New York. — One of the largest verdicts for damages ever given in the supreme court in this judicial district was awarded by a jury Wednesday when Sarah Read was awarded $101,759 for the loss of her husband, who was killed by a New York Central railroad train at the Van Cortlandt Park crossing three years ago yesterday. Mr. Read, who was a paper bag manufacturer, was riding in an automobile with George Noakes, Mrs. Noakes and Noakes' son and daughter. The automobile was struck by a train. Read was killed and Miss Noakes and the chauffeur each lost a leg. The chauffeur received a verdict of $10,000 and Miss Noakes of $35,000.

At the King's Daughters' and Sons' concert last week Wednesday night at Mrs. W. T. Blue's Mrs. Henry Taylor was awarded the prize for accurate描写 of the young ladies who made exhibits. Master James Harold Taylor, only son of Mr., and Mrs. Taylor, celebrated his 13th birthday last Saturday afternoon. About 20 guests were present. He received many beautiful and useful presents. Little Miss Reba Doctor, daughter of Mr. Edward Doctor, delivered a very pleasing recitation last Sunday evening at Mt. Zion church, where she has read many times very successfully. As a recognition of her faithful service and attendance upon Sunday-school and church she was presented a beautiful framed certificate by the superintendent, who made the only one to be so honored. This encouraging indeed, and little Miss Doctor, her papa and auntie are to be congratulated. Cleveland Afro-American do not want and will not have a "Jim Crow" Y. M. C. A. Such an effort would be playing directly into the hands of the prejudiced control of the central Y. M. C. A., which wishes to rid itself of its last few Afro-American members. Shame on the promoters of such a disgraceful movement. Can't our people find color lines enough without drawing some themselves, and so unnecessarily too? Mark the Negroes who attempt so disgraceful a thing. "The Shepherd King," a sacred opera, will be rendered by the Mozart Choral society at Woodliff hall Monday, June 17, 1907, with a select cast Theatrical scene by the talent, Mr. T.

Cleveland O KINK·NE Great Hair Straightener and Grower 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, for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

A resident of Hudson, Wis., was deploring the resignation of Senator Spooner. "The senate can't afford to lose a mind like that," he said. "I know the man well. He practiced law in this town for 15 years or thereabouts. He won every case he set his hand to. "It was no surprise to us Hudsonites to find that John C. Spooner was the finest legal mind in the senate. When he had a case on, we used to go in droves to hear him plead. "I remember to this day a story that he once told in court in a case where he was showing how, with a good motive, one might still do a lot of harm. "He said that two aged Scotch ministers sat talking one day over their church warden pipes. "Last Sawbath," said the younger of the two old men, 'only three folk cam' to my kirk, and, since it was an awfu' cauld, snawy, stormy mornin', I just took them over to the manse, read a chapter, gled them a prayer, and then, to ward off the rheumatism, a guild stiff glass of the best whisky: "The other minister smiled.

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red Blood and Performs Wonders as a Tonic for the Nerves. Why are nervous people invariably pale people? The answer to that question explains why a remedy that acts on the blood can cure nervous troubles. It explains why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are also for nervous people. It is because of the intimate relation between the red corpuscles in the blood and the health of the nerves. The nervous system receives its nourishment through the blood. Let the blood become thin, weak and colorless and the nerves are starved—the victim is started on the road that leads to nervous wreck. Nervous people are pale people—but the pallor comes first. Enrich the blood and the nerves are stimulated and toned up to do their part of the work of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make red blood and transform nervous, irritable, alling people into strong, energetic, forceful men and women. Of the 20 Liberty avenue, South Medford, Mass., says: "I had never been well from childhood and a few years ago I began to have dizzy spells. At such times I could not walk straight. I was afraid of paralysis and was on the verge of nervous prostration. Then neuralgia set in and affected the side of my face. The pain in my forehead were exacerbated. I was told that my doctor feared neuralgia of the hands I tried several different kinds of treatment but they did me no good. "One day my son brought me some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I found that they strengthened my nerves. I took several boxes and felt better in them. I found more dizzy attacks, the neuralgia left me and I have been a well woman ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers and in sick headaches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. CHOICE OF TWO EVILS. Request That Was by No Means a Compliment for Papa. A New York scientist, the father of a large and growing family, has his troubles. One evening his youngest was holding forth in her best style. The mother could do nothing with the child, so the man of science went to the rescue. "I think I can quiet little Flora," he said. "There's no use humming to her in that silly way. What she wants is real music. The fact that I used to sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang well, too, may make a difference." Accordingly, the professor took the child and, striding up and down the room, sang in his best manner. He had not finished the second verse of his song, when a ring was heard. The door was opened, and there stood a girl of 14, who said: "I'm one of the family that's just moved into the flat next to yours. There's a sick person with us, and he says, if it's all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry instead of singing to it?" - Success. ECZEMA COVERED BABY. Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw—Suffered Untold Misery—Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905." Wants the Rod Restored. The Shanghai Times editor says: The jail has been well administered, but is fuller than it should be, due, I fear, to the abolition of the cague and bamboo. The ordinary criminal has no great objection to repeated short visits to the jail, but shrinks from a repetition of corporal punishment. Punishment with the bamboo is in vogue throughout China, and here only has it by special edict been abolished. We deprecate the Chinese authorities making this settlement a field for experiment, and will press for the reintroduction of this salutary method of punishment.

JUNE 15. 1907. GREAT MEET! Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! Splendid Declaration of Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolutions—The Ohio AfroAmerican 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 on May 15 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, 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 indented 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. Gilmore, chairman; Hon. Jack M. Gilmore, chairman; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Cleveland; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Columbus; Walter S. Thames, Columbus; Prof. W. P. Dabney, Cincinnati; Rev. W. O. W. Dayton, Dayton; Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Columbus; Dr. S. J. Jordan, Columbine, 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. "Fogaker 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 made secretary and assistant responsible for the committee on resolutions were met, and addresses were made by delegates to others present. Among this number were Rev. C. S. Williams, of Washington C. H.; Meggis, Riggs, Smith, Talbert, Attorney N. B. Marshall, of Washington D. C., and Gilchrist 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. "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 aligning our forces for a triumphant assault 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 barge and shoot to death servile bondage and shoot to death glorious emblem of our country, the same strips, 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 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 dis solve 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 tife 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 to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to be president of the United States or his hero worshippers. "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 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. 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 the defeat if nominated. We have reached a point where we would prefer to have 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 session, 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. V. White, Steubenville, J. M. Gilmere, 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. W. H. Taff, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brown v. Wieth, 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-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 of the 187 over antiterrorous soldiers, 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 forfeiting 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.

Humor lightens everything, even grim war. Jefferson Davis, with all the weight of a losing cause on his shoulders, could yet spare time to appreciate and respond to an artless appeal. The incident is related by Capt. Sutherland. Among the numerous papers received by the confederate president, the following turned up one day: "Dear Mr. President—I want you to let Jeems C. of Co. onth, 5th South Carolina Regiment, come home and get married. Jeems is willin', but Jeems Capt'n he ain't willin', Now when we all are willin' cept Jeems Capt'n, I think you might let up and let Jeems come. I'll make him go straight back when he's done got married and fight hard as ever. "Your affectionate friend," and so forth. Mrs. Davis, telling the story, adds that Mr. Davis wrote his directions in regard to the matter on the back of the letter. They were: "Let Jeems go."—Youth's Companion. Made for Fat Men. One of the narrow arches in the gallery of the chapel at Columbia university is not exactly symmetrical, although the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer, says the New York Globe. The reason for the widening of the arch after its original construction had rise in a somewhat humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with difficulty. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people being numbered among the future visitors, decided to widen the arch, sacrificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so constructed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides. Senator Morgan a Model. Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, occasionally writes magazine articles which involve a great deal of research, but he uniformly refuses to accept pay for them. In the course of his career many railroad passes have been offered him, but he never accepted any either for himself or any member of his family. Though over 80 years old, he thinks nothing of working half the night. The senator never haunts the departments looking for jobs for constituents. Of moderate means when he entered the senate, he is now a poor man, having little or nothing but his salary. The Business Instinct A party of tourists were visiting the ancient landmarks of England, according to a writer in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, and their guide was supplying them with valuable historic facts. "This tower," he remarked, "goes back to William the Conqueror." "Why, what's the matter?" inquired one of his listeners. "Isn't it satisfactory?" AN OLD EDITOR Found $2000 Worth of Food. The editor of a paper out in Okla, said: "Yes, it is true when I got hold of Grane-Nuis food, it was worth more than a $2000 doctor bill to me, for it made me a well man. I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. "My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but never thought to apply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct, as I have proven in my own case. One very fortunate thing about the food is that while it is the most scientifically made and highly nourishing, concentrated food I have ever known, it has so delicious a taste that it wins and holds friends."

The Klondike like proper—that is, that portion of the Yukon territory in the vicinity of Dawson—as far as the individual miner is concerned, is on a rapid decline owing to the imminent area of ground mining acquired by dredging companies. On company alone has purchased nearly all the placer ground on the three principal creeks, namely: Bonanza, Eldorado and Hunker, and has bonded considerably more on Dominion and other creeks for various reasons. Where formerly hundreds of miners were working for wages or working their own ground, thus creating a demand for provisions, clothing, machinery, hardware, etc., and the transportation from Dawson to the different mining operations, now dredges are either operating or in course of construction.—Consular Reports. The World's Dairy the Parent of Consumption. This is the argument put forward by scientists to day, and is causing no little alarm, because practically all the leading men who have made the subject a careful study and test are united on the statement and agree that a great per cent of all cattle in the U.S. have Bovine Tuberculosis. In Denmark 50% of all Cattle are infected. Recently The Mutual Mercantile Co., Cleveland, O., have issued a free booklet showing how it is wrong to kill so many thousands of our Dairy Cows when a few cents worth of Rasawa purchased at any Drug Store will positively prevent Tuberculosis. The claim is made that it is a germicide and renders the cow immune. Ask your dealer or the above company for a free book. Our Queer Sense of Humor: "Americans have a strange sense of humor, don't you know," began the Englishman. "The othah day, for example, I went into a restaurant with a friend and be awksed for sinkahs. I was surprised to see them bring him three biscuit of some sort or othah. Again at anothah time I dined with him at a table d'hote cafe. He said to the waiter, 'Bring us a couple of bottles of pink ink.' What the waiter brought him, don't you know, was two bottles of red wine. "Really, it is very strange, the American sense of humor. You catch onto my meaning?"—N. Y. Press. How's This?
