THE HEAD GEAR (1) (2) (1) CHIP HAT (2) BLACK STRAW HAT It is very much to be hoped that we shall not go too far down the road of exaggeration in the affair of hats this season—or, rather, in our manner of wearing them! The slight upward tilt, which leaves the hair above the forehead uncovered, is exceedingly attractive and it makes a woman look wonderfully young and unsophisticated; but then there is a limit and some seem inclined to go beyond it. I have frequently had occasion to remark on the charm of the picture fashions so much in vogue this summer, and never, that I can remember, were our hats more delicously becoming; but when the upward tilt is carried to extreme exaggeration it borders on the ridiculous, for the hair at the back of the head is, practically, covered, and the impression conveyed is that some rude person has caught the hat and deliberately pulled it back from the face, jamming it down on the back of the head at the same time. to match the costume worn. To a soft, indented crown and a brim, which has something of a room slope. This hat is is traveling or sporting wear, as absolutely nothing to get out of the natural feather mount whishes it off at the side being affected by even a downpour. SHORT CHAPTER ON DRESS Mauve and pink are under among the popular comb. The former color, however, much wofn unadorned, while ter in every possible shade of devotees by the hundreds. M admire the dull soft tone of cous favor, I realize, however, most women pale blue is it When a cloque hat is in question—and this season the cloque may be said to be ubiquitous—the perfect manner of wearing it is absolutely straight on the head—that is to say, neither raised at the back nor at the front. It may be coquettish tilted to one side, just a trifle, with the best effects, but the cloque should seem to rest right on the hair and to mingle with it! At the beginning of the season the cloque and mushroom hats sent out from the best millinery atellers were of considerable size, but those of the present moment are not in the least exaggerated in outline. The full crown, of point d'esprit, or embroidered tulle, is rather high and important looking, and for that reason the drooping brim does not attract undue attention. An amazing number of large wings are used in the trimming of toques for morning wear, and the Coq de roche is to be seen on nearly all the best models. Tuscan hats in cloque form are very charming when trimmed with a fringed scarf of ivory gauze and with a number of pale grey and white wings, the rich yellow of the straw harmonizing delightfully with all shades of gray, but it is especially effective when combined with pale pearl tints. Tuscan hats continue to reign supreme, but crinoline straw is also in great favor, and there is a new make of chip, which looks lovely when combined with straw-colored point d'esprit. This chip is coarser than the chip of last year, and for that reason it is rather more effective. I have seen it used with crinoline straw, and the effect pleased me very much. Quantities of beautiful roses are arranged in careless looking garlands on hats of the garden party order, and with these roses long lengths of broad satin ribbons, the latter almost invariably being permitted to fall in careless ends over the shoulders. These floating ends look delightfully festive when worn with lace and ruslin frocks, but, of course, they are entirely out of place on a hat which is intended to accompany a tailor made. The hat in the lower left-hand corner of our sketch can be worn with much advantage with almost any of the simpler summer costumes, and will be found vastly becoming, as well as pleasantly light and cool. It is obtainable in brilliant straw of several leading colors, such as navy blue, green and Tuscan, the brim showing the almost inevitable, and certainly attractive, mushroom curves; while for its trimming, a figured silk scarf, which introduces some effective contrast of color, is draped round the crown and loosely knotted on one side where the ends fall over the brim. The hat displayed in the lower right-hand corner is of cloth and may be of any color, or may be made of cloth In Union There is Strength. to match the costume worn. There is a soft, indented crown and a firm brim, which has something of a mushroom slope. This hat is ideal for traveling or sporting wear, as there is absolutely nothing to get out of order, the natural feather mount which finishes it off at the side being quite unaffected by even a downpour of rain. SHORT CHAPTER ON DRESS Mauve and pink are undoubtedly among the popular combinations. The former color, however, is not much wofn unadorned, while the latter in every possible shade owns its devotees by the hundreds. Much as I admire the dull soft tone of conspicuous favor, I realize, however, that to most women pale blue is infinitely more becoming, and I hold a brief perpetually for the charms of summer dresses made of very pale blue volle with straw hats trimmed with pink roses, and I am reminded whilst I write of a particularly good specimen of soft, thin pastel blue cloth which I met completed with a high-crowned crinoline hat encircled with roses shading from pink to mauve, over Handsome Summer Gown. which was thrown a net vell of grey tone edged with a narrow silk fringe. An ideal costume for morning wear at the immediate moment is made of a very thin twilled light grey cloth, the coat being innocent of trimming save for narrow insets of black and white striped drill which appear on either side of the large silver buttons, decorating the fronts, while at the neck a waistcoat of white plue puts in a welcome appearance, and the sleeves bear narrow frills of hemstitched lawn. A pretty effect this has, and enhanced by a white lawn shirt and a plain skirt cut on the cross fitting tightly round the hips and bearing but a few folds at the back. In following out the design of the dress shown a touch of silk can be given place in the center of the diamond-shaped medallions, and a narrow piping used to finish off the collar band of the lace chemisette which, by the way, should be made detachable and in duplicate, so that it can always be kept quite fresh. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1907. The Sight of a White Woman Brownsville Witness, ON A DARK NIGHT, In Brownsville When the Alleged "Shooting Up" Was On— Ralph Tyler, Etc. Special to The Gazette. Special to the Gazette. Washington, D. C.—The Brownsville affair shares with the school situation the interest of the people of Washington, an interest which centers around the delightful personality of the senior senator from Ohio. As everything else, social as well as political, had taken a vacation, the sessions of the military committee at the capitol loomed up prominently before the citizens here. Judging from the testimony already given, there are two very peculiar things about the people of Brownsville; and one will possibly puzzle a long time before he gets a satisfactory explanation of how did the senator see such minute details on a dark night and yet be unable to identify the culprits, and what have those Texans done with their prejudice? I believe one witness, a woman, ever saw spots or freckles on the face of a man 40 feet away. Remarkable! Then so many of the citizens testified that they had no feeling against the colored soldiers, in spite of the fact that the senators from Texas entered a solemn protest in the name of the Texas people when they discovered that the president had decided to send colored troops to that state. Senator Foraker is certainly Taft's Little Boomerang Will Soon Flicker up the Flume. Washington D. C. The Washington Herald, C. The politics and recognized as one of the most conservative newspapers in the east, declares the Taft boom is on the wane. The Herald says the Taft boom has been tested and found wanting; that well informed republicans are of the opinion that the Taft boom has spent its force. The Herald says the president's espousal of Taft for his successor did the Ohio man no good. doing his full duty toward getting at the truth of the affair. He is not attempting to shiled the colored soldiers if they are guilty, but he feels that they have been convicted and punished upon insufficient evidence; and his independent American blood bolls in righteous indignation when he reflects that the constitutional rights of American citizens have been disregarded, in fact ignored. "Every man is entitled to his day in court" are the words the senator has uttered; and no one except the completely indifferent, the utterly heartless, or the unscrupulous ambitions could object to such a stand. Such cases rising true when Mr. Foraker votes in favor of an effort to trust with any office he wants a man who really means to give every man his day in court. Senator Foraker should have anything he wants of his countrymen. Even if the Brownville affair had never occurred, the senator should have any office he seeks; for his whole life, his every political act, entitled him to the highest respect and the most thoughtful consideration, not of only Ohioans, but of all the citizens of the United States. He is the last of the veterans of the civil war that will ever be mentioned for the presidency, and, that, with his unquestioned mental attainments, his high courage, and his moral worth will endure him to every republican can hold him accountable. Chattanooga speech is notable as an exhibition of the earnestness and sincerity of the man and the same manner in which he handles the great questions of the day. Although brilliant and enthusiastic, he has no tendency to "run amuck" for a while and then collapse from exhaustion. He is sane, safe, sound and solid. There seems to be a strong desire on the part of some persons to shelter everybody in politics who has left the forts behind. No man over 50 can be actively engaged in any worthy political labor. That attitude is so ridiculous as to command no attention whatever if some of the very best persons the country has produced were not affected by it; and the worst of it is that spirit has not confined itself to politics. The tendency in all the walks of life seems to be to replace experience with inexperience, maturity with immaturity—as if anything in life can take the place, properly take the place, of experience and the resulting ripened judgment. The presentiment aroused by the Brownville affair is not confined to the colored country, the whites not only resent the justice, but they feel apprehensive as they contemplate the possibilities of power. Every colored voter in the country should be made to understand clearly the significance of the Brownville matter and the edict of the war department, rather of the president through the department, forbidding the enlistment of any more colored men in the army of the United States. A congressman from Texas is respon- GAZETTE. sible for suggesting, by a resolution offered in the house, that such a thing be done. YSLA. Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, the new auditor for the navy department, has made an innovation which is very pleasing to the messengers in his bureau who have done funky work without compensation. For many years it has been the custom for the messengers to shave the auditor, deputy auditor, and chiefs of divisions, and shine their shoes. Believing that the messengers' time should be given wholly to their official duties, he called them before him and informed them that they could cut out the shaving and shining stunt, as they would not be allowed in the future to spend government time in personal service for the heads of the office. Negroes and the Republican Party. Editor Washington Herald: Why should the indorsement of the "Southern view of the Negro problem" by Mr. Cannon have any bearing on that gentleman's aspirations for the presidency? Why shouldn't it rather increase his popularity and make him as strong as Mr. Taft, who is an avowed candidate, or Mr. Root, who is the candidate, under cover? Both of these gentlemen have indorsed the "southern view," and the most popular president the world has ever known is indorsing Mr. Taft now, but will indorse Mr. Root later on. Mr. Cannon has a splendid record on which to base his claim or the next nomination for president by the republican party. He has been in congress 30 years, and has opposed all measures tending to relieve the colored man a position in his life, (so I told him) and he indorses the "southern view of the Negro problem." If Mr. Cannon would come right and say, "Yes, I said it, what of it? And I mean it, too," he would stand a splendid chance of being nominated by the colored man is being mentioned. The colored voter is not considered when the presidential timber is being overhaul, just look at the appointments of Mr. Wight and Mr.apers, "lilywhites" incarnate and insensate. As "lily-white" is the pet aversion of the presidential timber, the president seems to look at the appointments, but he took heed when he sent Mr. Pritchard to the south, some few years ago, to encourage "lily-white" and the colored people denounced it. If he has any concern for the republican party he had better note our protest again, for notwithstanding all the blandishments of the hypocritical south (which will not give him or his candidate the electoral votes of any of its states) the colored people, whose votes count, will not support any man who says that the enfranchising of the colored man was a mistake, or who stigmatizes us as a race of criminals, or who says that our colored soldiers are murderers and traitors to the flag. The republican party should just as know now, at any other time, that its nominee may not be our friend, but he must not be our known enemy. WILLIAM T. FERGUSON.

B. Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church, Who Recently Tendered His Resignation, was Asked to Reconsider it and Did So. The above is an excellent portrait of Rev. H. C. Bailey, who was born in Natchez, Miss., August 15, 1858. He was converted in 1877 and graduated in 1883 from Jackson college, Mississippi, where he was a public school teacher for eight years, and was a personal and political friend of the Hon. John R. Lynch, now a major and paymaster in the United States army. In 1884 he was called and ordained to the pastorate of Bethle Baptist church, Tallahassee, Fl., membership of which was 1,000. Dinner guests at the church he baptized 783 souls and erected a church costing $15,000. He was a trustee of Lincoln academy, Tallahassee, and also of the Florida Baptist college, Jacksonville. In March, 1896, he was elected by the Florida republican state convention, a presidential elector for the McKinley and Hobart ticket, remaining on it until June of the same year, when he resigned in favor of Major E. C. Weeks. In 1898 he was called to Zion Baptist church of Springfield, Ill., where he served nine months. Then resigned to accept a call to Zion Baptist church, Xenia, O. $2,000 and which was begun by Rev. J. M. Riddle. During his stay in the United Presbyterian theological seminary, Zion he manned the field of the University in the state of 1900. Here he was the speaker in the state of Illinois, the bishop, and made speeches in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio, from Chicago, he was called to the Second Baptist church, Springfield, O. Shortly after he was there, he paid off a debt of $2,000 of 23 years' standing, and added over 75 members to that church. On March 27, 1903, he accepted a call to the pastorate of Antioch Baptist church of this city. Within three months a debt of $1,695, of 10 years' standing, was wiped out, and in less than three years the present edifice was erected. But for Dr. Chas, A. Eaton and his good offices Mr. Rockefeller never would have pledged the $6,000 toward that church, making it possible for the members to secure other pledges and an organizer and builder to organize men, a thorough race man and is the peer of any of our ministers in Cleveland. His retention as pastor of Antioch Baptist church is a source of much gratification to all our people of this community, and the church's wisest course. Both pastor and his congregation are to be congratulated. SOLDIERS SOLD OUT! Bishop Walters, Head of Afro-American Council, Says President Roosevelt Discharged Them to Get in Return Votes of Southern Democratic Senators for Pet Measures. (Interview in New Haven Palladium.) That the colored soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who were charged with being engaged in the Brownville riot, were sold out of the United States army for the votes of southern congressmen on the rate bill by President Roosevelt is the opinion of the Rt. Rev. Alexander Walters, A. M. D. M., of Jersey City, a bishop of the A. M. E. Zion church and one of the most prominent men in the work of uplifting the Negro in America. The bishop has been in close touch with the president at various times, commencing with his election to the vice-presidency and claims to the positive knowledge that the above charge is true. The Rev. Mr. Walters at one time thought that in Mr. Roosevelt the black man had a strong supporter. Recent events, however, have convinced him that the president is an opportunist and has been playing his cards on the race question as personal interest directed. He enumerated to a reporter the various incidents by means of his attitude on which the president gained the confidence and-votes of the Negroes. After his need for colored support had passed and southern congressmen had to be placated to secure votes enough to pass the rate to positive knowledge not hesitate to seize the Brownville in the means of gaining his ends. The bishop cited also as an indication of president's real attitude the speech of Secretary Taft on the "Lily White" agitation and on various other questions involving the rights of the colored man since the Brownville incident.

"There is more truth than poetry" in what Bishop Walters says in his New Haven interview published elsewhere in this paper to-day. Roosevelt and Taft are certainly not friends of the race. Now the Taft subsidy is reaching out to the Afro-American press and endeavoring to secure the republication of a very misleading N. Y. Age editorial on the Jeanes educational fund. It is said that Dr. Booker T. Washington encouraged this. Politics will yet KILL the great Tuskegee school. Mark our prediction. When it does, Mr. Washington will have no one to blame for it but himself. Taft is too big a load for any person on thing to carry. All Foraker and other republican clubs and political organizations among our people in the state should affiliate with the Ohio Afro-American league.

Let us work in union and harmony with an eye single to results of the kind desired and made plain in the state conference of our leading men of Ohio in Columbus on May 15. THE GREATEST EVIL. Gov. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in his recent inaugural address advocated the disfranchisement of the Afro-American in his state, and promised "to enforce the law and prevent lynching." In the face of his efforts in promoting the Atlanta massacre, no person can "take any stock" in his promise. And what a tremendous argument against the states' rights theories of the south his advocacy is! It does seem to us that President Roosevelt, through the attorney general's department of his administration, ought to be making a greater fight against the disfranchisement "laws" of seven southern states than against any other of the many national wills, because they strike at the very vitals of our form of government, in that they are nullifying certain sections of the fundamental law of the land (the United States constitution) when they deprive more than three million of sovereign citizens of their franchise rights in federal as well as state and other local elections. Does the president as well as Secretary Taft condone disfranchisement? And what about the great republican majority in the congress, since its refusal and persistent refusal, too, to reduce the representation in the congress of those seven disfranchisement states as mandatorily required in a section of the constitution? There has been so much talk in and out of the congress about restrictive legislation for corporations that the greatest evil seems to have been lost sight of entirely. THE CADIZ SCHOOLS. Mr. Editor:—An unsigned article from this place in your last issue of The Gazette, under the caption, "One Can Stop It," in reference to the condition of the schools here, in not setting forth all the facts in the condition of our schools here, has no doubt given a wrong impression to the public of our school affairs. Since 1869 we have practically had the benefits of mixed schools here. And every year since then colored pupils have been admitted to the grammar grades and then on through the high school system. We have now two room building for the colored children war built, and the school graded, passing pupils from the intermediate grade into the white No Negroes with "Notions." (From the N. Y. World.) Nashville Teen. June 25. A tacit conclusion was reached by the Nashville board of education last night that only Negroes born, bred and educated in the south need apply for election as teachers in the colored public schools of this city. This action was taken, the board says for the reason that Negroes from north of Mason add Dixon's line have "notions" and "are not familiar with southern traditions and sentiment." Manual training is to be introduced into the Negro schools, and among the applicants for the position of supervisor were graduates of Harvard and other eastern universities. Another applicant, a big, black southernborn, southern-bred and southern-educated Negro, was given the education. "Our Living Sumner." The Ohio Negroes, led by that indestructible leader and man, Hon. H. C. Smith, have done wonderful work for Foraker. Go on men, you are right and every brave, race loving Negro is glorying over you. The spirit you throw in the breeze is catching fire over in West Virginia, and before next June you can come over and shake hands with a few thousand of us, just as loyal as you are to our living Summer—Joseph Benson Foraker.

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 Gov. Harris be senate in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as it*has reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly of Ohio, and President Brownville Texas to Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of organized labor throughout the country for Taft that 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 alding and abetting Tom Dixon's dirty work against the race with his internal play, "The Clansman," and Secretary Taft out-Roosevelt 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.

There were 25 graduates, at appearing on the stage before the audience, to the men's mentence except the saloonkeeper's bad boy, who, as stated in our last issue, was mailed his diploma by the principal.

By No Means a Pleasure, According to One Traveler. "No sooner has one plunged into the water than one is whipped off one's feet and goes bobbing helplessly about like a wretched cork," says Rev Haskett Smith of bathing in the Dead sea. "In the effort to regain one's footing and to get back to shore, one's feet and shins are barked by the jagged stones and pebbles, and when at length one does emerge from its treacherous bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes aware of a horrible tingling and burning sensation in eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth and almost every pore of the skin, from the brine and bitumen which have penetrated everywhere. "Unless great care is taken the bather in the Dead sea is liable to an eruption, which breaks out all over his body, and which is commonly known as the 'Dead sea rash.' The best antidote to this is to hurry across as quickly as possible to the river Jordan and take a second plunge therein. The soft and muddy waters of that sacred but dirty stream will effectually remove the salt that has incrusted the body." INSURANCE INVESTMENTS. How One Company's Assets Are Distributed in the South and West. In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 75% of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxation, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equitable now has $10,958,000 invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the management decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injustice to its policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. The Equitable's report shows that more than 37% of its total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states, while only 35% of its total insurance is carried in these states. Its investments are distributed as follows: Ala, $3,099,000; Ariz, $974,000; Ark, $1,836,000; Cal, $5,142,000; Col, $5,222,000; Fla, $4,924,000; Ga, $4,048,000; Idaho, $5,197,000; Il, $12,617,000; Ind.

Mr. Hanbury is the United States shipping commissioner for the port of New York. He is the sailors' judge and jury. The men who sign on foreign船 now must appear before him for their papers instead of going to the consuls of the various countries. He decides all disputed questions between the men and their sailing masters. Many of the abuses of these men that formerly were common, such as compelling them to buy their outfits from the ship owners or captains, have been done away with under Mr. Hanbury's rule. His office is on the Battery park, New York, where he easily can reach all the ships leaving that port. New Austrian Railway Hittether tourists from the United States who chose the southern trip to Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar or Naples, but many, chiefly those who had already been in Italy, now come to Trieste and continue from here their voyage by the new Austrian railway. There can hardly be a more beautiful country than the regions which are made accessible by this new Transalpine railroad. The new railway is owned by the state, and is 130 miles long. There are 49 tunnels, with a total length of ten miles. There are 50 bridges, one of which, across the river Izonzo, has the longest stone span in the world. There are, besides, as many as 678 smaller bridges and viaducts—Consular Reports. COFFEE COMPLEXION Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Coffee. "Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexion as one could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, according to directions, I licked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. "I am thankful to say I am not nervous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and n. complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble." Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body.

Our people should take pride in patronizing the Snowflake Hand Laundry, whose advertisement will be found elsewhere in this paper, because it is a race enterprise. The very best work guaranteed at most reasonable prices. Since the Cleveland Leader and the News continue to refer to our women as "Negresses," we want our readers have the best term. Age's definition of the term, as defined in the list,gress, is defined as a female of the "Negro race," "n black wench." How do you like Negro and "Negress?" The Gazette gives you all the race news the country over every week—not a lot of paper. Read the live paper—the "Old Reliable Gazette," and subscribe for it, telling your friends and acquaintances to do likewise. Have you kept posted on the Brownsville, Tex., controversy? Mrs. James T. Lane, of Lane college, Jackson, Tenn., who called on the Gazette Monday, left in the evening for the south after a two weeks' stay in this city and this section of the state. She is a fluent and interesting speaker and her lectures and talks are always splendidly received. Mrs. Geo. Brooks recently entertained about 100 ladies in honor of Mrs. Richle Cunningham, of North Branch, Mich. The table decorations were red and white. She was assisted by Mrs. Geo.

The child was taken to St. Vincent's (Charity) hospital. It's mother was visiting in Lorain at the time. The automobile passed over the child's breast. It died Tuesday morning. Time and again we have warned our people against purchasing stock in reality and other companies with headquarters out of the city. It seems to us that some people of this community will never benefit by their own or others' fortunate experience along this line. Mr. Edward Doctor entertained last Friday afternoon from 3 to 6 p.m. about 26 young folk in honor of his daughter, Miss Rebra's tenth birthday, was an emotionally enjoyable occasion and little Miss Doctor received a number of very pretty and valuable presents, among them being a turquoise and diamond ring from her father. The White Front Meat Market needs no introduction to our people in the vicinity of Central and Sterling avenues, because that is where they get not only the very best meat, poultry, eggs and fish at the most reasonable rates, but also the best treatment. This is especially true in the cases of women and children. See advertisement elsewhere in this issue. This is the way the Cleveland Leader sought to stigmatize our people on the 20th in a short Akron letter: "Secretary Marsh has gone to Alliance for the commencement, and Secretary Brown, negro, has gone to Xenla to the foraker speech to negroes to-morrow. One stenographer holds the fort." Don't take the Leader or the News as long as they keep up this sort of thing. Between three and five hundred people saw the "Black Diamonds" defended Pittsburgh Giants in two well contested baseball games at League park last week. Been Thursday and Friday.

The officers elect were installed by M. Ex. Thomas H. Edmonds, P. G. high priest. J. Clarence Brown and Geo. C. Sutton are candidates for the republican nomination to the council from the Twelfth ward. If our people are not given this recognition this time, one or both of the persons named will have their names placed upon the republican ticket by petition as the republican candidates. This has been settled. Too innocent, but truthful articles in recent issues of The Gazette has called the head of the editor the wrath of a couple of alleged newspaper men, one at home and the other abroad. This is unfortunate perhaps, but cannot be helped under the circumstances. Beatrice Holmes, a pretty child of 14, was held prisoner in Knopf's drug store on Central avenue, between 31st and 32d streets, according to the police. Alexander McCarthy, 22, drug lawyer, 7125 Quincy avenue S. E., is under arrest. Mrs. Mary Reynolds, 3521 Central avenue S. E., mother of the girl, sent her to the drug store last week Thursday to buy medicine. The girl had been gone a half hour when the mother, becoming alarmed and fearing something might have happened to her, went to the store after her. She found the door of the store locked and heard her daughter crying inside. She boat against the door her hands, but she does not give away before her eleven someone sent a call to the军官 and Officer Hinckley was ordered to to the store. He hailed an auto. When he arrived, he says, McCarthy was visiting the girl out the back door into her mother's arms. McCarthy's case was continued in police court last week Friday to July 18 and he was liberated on furnishing only $500 (nominal) ball. We understand that he has been back at work in the drug store and that our people are patronizing it and being served by McCarthy. Well, well! well! The daily papers never mentioned the race or class of the child; indeed they said almost nothing about the outrage—because McCarthy was white and the child colored. Our people should stop patronizing that drug store and the court room on July 18. The judge that liberated McCarthy on $500 ball should not forget. Hon. John P. Green is attorney for the child. This is an opportunity for him. Had McCarthy been an Afri-American and the child white, good Lord, what a howl would have ascended to high heavens from the southern sympathizing local daily papers, especially the Leader and the News.

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 eake of Kink-ine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 2 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six eakes of soap for $3.00.

DE PASSE OF NEW YORK CITY "I Consulted Several Physicians, but they Did Me No Good. Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin Helped Me." MRS. ALINE DEPASSE. Mrs. Alline DePassa, 776 E. 165th St., New York, N. Y., writes: "It gives me pleasure to testify to the curative qualities of Peruna and Manalin," she was afflicted for over seven years with catarrh of the head, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many physicians, but they did me no good. "One day I happened to read some testimonials in your Peruna ailment. I decided to treat Peruna and Manalin. I did not need to and changed them for a week I noticed a chance for the better. So I kept it up, and after using two bottles I was perfectly cured." Also gave the medicine to my children and they had the same beneficial result. I would never be without these remedies in the house. "I highly recommend Peruna and Manalina to all my friends, and in fact to everyone I met." Edited Grey, 110 Weimar St., Amelia, Md. writes: "It gives me pleasure to recommend Peruna for catarth of the stomach. I had this disease for a number of years, and could not enjoy a mouthful of food that I ate. It was indeed a great relief when I hit upon Peruna, and obtained a bottle of Peruna before I felt entirely cured of my trouble, but I had an aggravated case." Numerous compounds are being offered to take the place of white lead as a paint, but no real substitute for it has yet been made. Pure White Lead has a peculiar property of amalgamating with the wood upon which it is used—added to this it has an elasticity which permits the paint to follow the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Pure White Lead (with its full natural tenacity and elasticity, unimpaired by adulterants), alone fulfills all the requirements of the ideal paint. Every keg which bears the Dutch Boy trade mark is positively guaranteed to be absolutely Pure White Lead made by the Old Dutch Process.

"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 hait. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and alligating 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 where 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 is proud of the fact that they fought to keep the United States bondage and shoot to death the great emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Summer, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge 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, reflection to the senate of the United States settlement 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 secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the 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 compulsus 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 person candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions we may bring about his nomination 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. ONE MAN'S EXPERIENCE IN WESTERN CANADA. There Are Thousands of Opportunities in the Land of Opportunity. To the Editor. Dear Sir: The following experience of an Illinois man who went to Western Canada six years ago is but one of the thousands of letters that could be reproduced showing how prosperity follows the settler on the fertile lands of Western Canada. This letter was written to the Chicago agent of the Government of the Dominion of Canada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta, April 8th, 1907: "It is six years the 5th of this month TWO TERRIBLE YEARS. The Untold Agonies of Neglected Kidney Troubles. Mrs. James French, 65 Weir Street, Taunton, Mass., says: "When I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was so run down and miserable that I could hardly endure it. Terrible pains in the back attacked me frequently and the kidney secretions were much disordered. I was a nervous wreck and there seemed no hope. Doan's Kidney Pills brought my first relief and six boxes have so thoroughly cured "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 star 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.

Harper, Dayton, "Carlyey Gey, Bonville, J. M. Glmere, Cleveland, chairman Walter S. Thomas, Columbus, secretary." The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, 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. Taft, 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. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soilders as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military maneuver to the government had unable to prove their guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore he it Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. 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 dismissal without trial of 167 brave and menious soldiers, many other men great in courage, 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.

There Are Thousands of Opportunities in the Land of Opportunity. To the Editor. Dear Sir: The following experience of an Illinois man who went to Western Canada six years ago is but one of the thousands of letters that could be reproduced showing how prosperity follows the settler on the fertile lands of Western Canada. This letter was written to the Chicago agent of the Government of the Dominion of Canada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta, April 8th, 1907: "It is six years the 5th of this month since I and family landed in Red Deer, family sick and only $75 in my pocket, Bought a $12 lot, build a 12x14 shack and went to work as a carpenter, Next May sold for $400 (had added 16x18 building to shack). Purchased two lots at $70 each and built a 23x23 two story building and sold for $850. Filed on a quarter section 33 miles N. W. of Red Deer and have spent three years on it and am well pleased, Quarter all fenced and cross fenced, wire and rail, 2½ miles of fence, House 23x31 feet on stone foundation. Last year was my first attempt to raise grain, 1½ acres of fall wheat, yield ground, but was frosted August 2nd, was cut August 16th and made good pig feed. Had 11½ acres fall rye that I could think not be beat. A farmer from Dakota cut it for me, he said he never saw such heavy grain anywhere. Straw was 7 feet high. I had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall breaking that did not do so well, yet it ripened and gave me all the feed I need for stock and seed for this spring. I did not have grain threshed, so can't give yield, but the wheat would have gone at least 25 bu. to the acre. Have a log stable 31x35 feet, broad roof and two smaller buildings for pigs and chickens. "I have lived in Harvey, Ills, and know something about it. I have been hungry there and though able and willing to work could get none to do. One Saturday evening found me without any supper or a cent to get it with. A friend, surmising my situation, gave me a dollar, which was thankfully accepted and later paid back. Wife and I are thankful we came here. We were living near Mt. Vernon, Ills, as perhaps you remember visiting me there and getting me headed for the Canadian Northwest, and a happy day it has proved for me. I have not grown rich, but I am prospering. I would not take $3,000 for my quarter now. The past winter has been a hard one, but I worked outside the coldest day (52 below) all day and did not suffer. We are getting a school started now that is badly needed. "Our P. O., Evarts, is about 15 miles; there is another office 6 miles, but it is not convenient to us. Wife and I would not exchange our home here for anything Illinois has to offer. Your tray, "(Sd.) E. EMBERLEY." TOO YOUNG FOR A STICK. Why Boy Would Have Nothing to Do with His Lemonade. "It was at a children's treat in the country," said the Settlement worker with pink cheeks and unbound enthusiasm, "and lemonade and edibles were being supplied to a collection of small children who looked, for the most part, like babies and were as sophisticated as I don't know what to say. As I walked around to see that everyone was getting enough to eat and drink I came to one infant whose mug of lemonade had not been touched apparently. I observed that there was a little twig from one of the trees floating on the top, but they are not fastidious as a rule and it did not occur to me that he objected to the proof that he was playing under real trees. "Why don't you drink the lemonade, little brother?" said I. "Isn't it sweet and nice? Don't you like it?" He wriggled a bit and rubbed his ear on his shoulder in a delightful state of embarrassment, and then with a knowing twinkle he said: "I guess, teacher, I'm too little to drink lemonade wid a stick in it." - N.

The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all suffering with eczema.

The equipment of the great armies of the world with an improved rifle is hardly completed when the mechanics begin work on a new weapon. At the recent examinations of the German War Academy the automatic rifle was one of the themes for discussion. The piece now on trial has a magazine holding ten cartridges; the recoil is utilized to load and cock. Consequently the soldier can remain quietly in position, never removing his eye from the target, and fire his ten shots.—New York Sun. Riddle. "What is the difference between a chauffeur and a surgeon?" asked the every ready joker. "Give it up," answered the man who was bored. "The chauffeur runs people down and the surgeon cuts them up."

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. TWO TERRIBLE YEARS. The Untold Agonies of Neglected Kidney Troubles. Mrs. James French, 65 Weir Street, Taunton, Mass., says: "When I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was so run down and miserable that I could hardly endure it. Terrible pains in the back attacked me frequently and the kidney secretions were much disordered. I was a nervous wreck and my Pills I was so run down and miserable that I could hardly endure it. Terrible pains in the back attacked me frequently and the kidney secretions were much disordered. I was a nervous wreck and there seemed no hope.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For Hardening Drill. Hardening an ordinary drill in sulphuric acid, states the English Mechanic, makes an edge that will cut tempered steel or facilitate cutting hard rock. The acid should be poured into a flat-bottomed vessel to a depth of about one-eighth of an inch. The point of the drill is heated to a dull cherry red, and dipped in the acid to that depth. This makes the point extremely hard, while the remainder remains soft. If the point breaks, reharden, but with a little less acid in the vessel.

Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A.

It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Mo., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage." The Breakers to Remain Closed. Word comes from abroad that Mrs. Vanderbilt is to take a large estate near London, and that the Breakers will not be open this season in Newport. This will be the second summer that this magnificent estate has been closed, and it means a social as well as financial loss to the place. To the gossips of the smart set it means that something attractive is keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter on the other side of the Atlantic—something that draws like a lodestone. No longer is Robert Goelet's name heard in connection with the hand of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our wit's end to know just who the lucky Johnny is—New York American. England's Debt to France.
