The Gazette

THE TWO CHARMING GOWNS It is impossible to write a letter on the subject of fashions without speaking of the popularity of gray materials, for they are with us, on every side. Some of the most effective summer gowns, of a simple order, which I have yet seen this year were made of cool gray linen, with Zine hand-embroideries, on the skirt and bolero, carried out in sills-finished thread. These frocks, when worn with gray linen shoes and gray suede gloves, are quite enchanting in their Quaker-like simplicity, and they invite the collaboration of cloche hats in delicate ivory straw, with puffed net forming the full crown and, at one side, near the front, a cluster of beautiful roses or of waxen water lilies. Some of the newest models in volle de sole show perfectly shaped skirt decorated with a number of tucks on the hem of the skirt. Needless to say, these tucks are always stitched by hand, and they are arranged in graduated widths. At the extreme hem they measure about five inches, and then they are reduced each one-half an inch as they run up towards the knees. For linen dresses a favorite style of trimming is a combination of deep tucks and hand-embroidery, three tucks, a band of embroidery, and so on. For afternoon gowns, voile de sole is exceedingly fashionable, but the material for costumes of this order is Indian gauze, which can be obtained in all the pastel shades, and Robe of Blue Linen, with insertions of White Linen Embroidery. which gives lovely effects when inset with old yellow lace and adorned with ribbon-work embroideryes. The walking frocks of this season are very charming, and delightfully unpractical! They are not long, in the sense that they can be held up; and they are not short, in the sense that they can be trusted not to assist in keeping the streets clean! When correctly cut and when worn over exactly the right underskirts, these new skirts are altogether lovely, but it is useless to deny that they are extravagant. All women know that it is quite impossible to hold up a gown which does not possess a train, even a very slight one, though something may be done by a judicious twitch at the back. But to turn from the dress to the dresses, strange, is it not, that women of the age of 60, with portfulness to watch, insist upon wearing models de- signed for the maiden of 20, slender of outline? When will the matron of 60 allow us to forget that she once had a waist? My regret that she will not ignore it this season was made specially plignant by an interview with a very handsome dowager, white of hair, and pleasantly rubicund of face, who was wearing a Wedgwood blue vole, made with Japanese sleeves over a white lace blouse with a skirt cut plain in the front, and full at the back, encircled with a belt of blue glove, whilst upon her gray hair she had perched a large mushroom hat with a big rue of blue ribbon in it, and round her neck she wore a large white feather boa, and on her stout hands white kid gloves, which extended to the elbow. It would have given me the greatest possible pleasure to have taken her as an example on to a platform and lectured to the assembled multitude on how she could have improved her appearance without sacrificing her obvious desire to be smart. A black chiffon gown mounted over white, I would have chosen for her, hanging in long lines just above her waist, with a broad hem of black glace, and black glace ribbon forming a sort of pelerine at her shoulders to outline a vest of white which, should terminate at the bust, and a large black hat (if she must wear a hat, though I should have much preferred her in a bonnet) draped with a flowing vell of black. I would have insisted on sleeves with a graceful drapery falling from the elbow at the back, held tightly above the wrist to diminish the too broad contours. Had she had any special objection to black chiffon, I would have suggested black lace or net, and velvet ribbons instead of the tafeta, and I have the remembrance of a small bonnet made of black crinoline in bow form, outlined with jet, which, with a black lace parcel lined with white chiffon, might have been called into service to best complete the effect. Some of the newest vellings are cream-white tulle dotted all over with pin points of black, and this vell is, as I have frequently mentioned, the most becoming a woman can adopt, irrespective of age. For those whose complexions have lost their first bloom this cell can be lined with palest shell pink tulle or with the same material in pale blue, the latter being specially flattering to dark skins. A Clear Claim. An official of the pension office at Washington offers the following excerpt from an especially amusing letter received from a claimant for pension: "The way I got my war ingery was a ketchinl of a hog. The hog was her a sow hog and our Capten wanted her for forage. He was chasin the sow and she crawled threw a haol in a rale fense—it were a big hoal and I thot I were about the size of the hog and trying to crawl threw, but I stuck and trying to wigle out I throde the rales off and one hit me on my hed and nocked my senseless. I do not think the sow had nothing to do with my line for duty for I did not ketch the hog. Wich she never were caught."—Lippincott's Magazine. Plumbago. Plumbago, popularly black lead, scientifically graphite, got its name, says the Ironmonger, from the assumption that it contained lead; and, indeed, certain lead ores and oxides have at times been called plumbago; but Enkel found in 1597 that what we now call graphite yielded no lead, and he called it sterile plumbago. Scheele, in 1789, proved that it was an allotropic form of carbon. It Makes a Difference. "Who is that large, fat, overdressed pudgy woman in the box?" asked the stranger at the theater. "That? Why, that is Mrs. Gottalot. You know she is worth about fifty millions, and—" But the stranger had turned to the friend he had brought along and was whispering: "Do you see that plump lady in the box—the one with the beautiful clothes and the diamonds? That is the famous Mrs. Gottalot."—Judge. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1907.

Stenbenville, O.—A Young Men's "Christian" association is being started here for a trial, but on better financial footing than previous attempts. The crowd that are wet-nursing the institution that denominates itself "Christian" (?) are seeing that it is strictly "illly-wild." Recently they held a banquet at which nearly 400 men were present. All the ministers of the gospel put their feet under the tables with the exception of Revs. C. D. White, of Quinn A. M. E. church, and Rev. H. A. Foreman, of Simpson M. E. church, both Negroes and earnest Christian men in every particular. It was an openly offensive slight to our people and a notice that if the same crowd have charge of the admission tickets to a place in "Glory," no "black souls will be there." It is about time the white folk were cutting out the singing of the hymn which contains the sentiment "Would you to men benighted the lamp of deny?" is not a man of benighted who draws the color line, and lacking the spirit of the Christ he professes to follow." Had there been Christian Chinese, "yellow" men, in this city they would have been invited to the banquet. Then why not black men? But the white folk got mad all over after the building fund was raised, until the effect that the professional separator who was brought here to show them how to raise the money, got ten per cent, or $7,000, for two weeks' work. Quite a number were works that they were not in on. Some one has said, and may have grappled with the fact that a Y. M. C.

A white man and a woman of the race were recently arrested in Nashville for open and notoriously lewd conduct in the broad light of day. Of course, the man was not lynched. Mrs. Josephine K. Gallagher, of Chicago, testified in her suit against her husband, Clarence V. Gallagher, that he caressed and kissed an Afro-American servant at her mother's residence in Kansas City on March 30. E. H. Cross, a Negro, resides in Matamoros, Mexico, and conducts business there, and over in Brownsville, just across the line. He is the shrewdest and best known-business man in northern Mexico. He is quiet and unassuming and is worth $500,000. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker spoke like a Summer at Wilberforce last week and mark our word, he is in the limelight for the very Negro with a source of manhood and principle is for him.-Martinsburg (W.

The largest verdict ever given an Afro-American in Mississippi in a personal injury suit against a railroad has been returned by a white jury at Cleveland, which gave Emily Smith $12,200 against the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley for the death of her husband, Frank, who was run down by a train last February. Booker T. Washington leased a house for the summer at Oyster Bay. He thought he had arranged for a house at Mamaroneck. A contract had even been signed.

Just put it down right now that Mr. Taft is an impossible presidential possibility. He is impossible of being nominated and he is impossible of election were he nominated.

Although he paid first-class fare, he received "Jim Crow" treatment all the way down, the color people being treated abominably by the fair management. They are named as dmitted into many buildings.

Toilet and other privileges are "Jim Crowed."—Cincinnati Union. President Roosevelt and members of his official family were handled without gloves by speakers at the tenth annual meeting of the Afro-American council, which began a three days' convention in Baltimore recently. Senator Foraker was a favorite and every mention of his name was received with great applause. Bishop Alexander Walters, of Jersey City, N. J., president of the council, made the principle address at the night session. He called the Ohio senator the "noblest Roman of them all," and placed him in the category with Charles Sumner. He claimed that the president did our race a great success in his last message to congress, in response to a congressional as a race of criminals. The Rev. S. L. Corrothers, of Washington, D. C., scored the president, Secretary Taft and Booker T. Washington, characterizing the latter as the political agent of the president. The Rev. A. L. Gaines, pastor of the church in which the council is holding its sessions, also scored the president. In the first place, there is no danger of the Negro in Ohio being forced to vote for Taft or Roosevelt. Fairbanks, of Indiana, will be nominated. But if by accident either Taft or Roosevelt is nominated, the Negroes will not take orders; neither will they vote the ticket, if a sound, reliable democrat of the Grover Cleveland type is nominated. We are better posted on Ohio politics than our contemporary, the N. Y. Age. Hon. Harry C. Smith is not alone. He is today the greatest Negro factor in the west, and has a large following because he is right. However, we can not see how Taft or Roosevelt can secure the delegates. The Negro that sells his constituency to the above will be forever damned by his race. The duty of the Negro delegates will be to vote for either Foraker or Fairbanks, but the safe plan would be for the Negro delegates to this point, and refuse to send Negro federal office holders to the next national convention.—Buffalo (N. Y.) Gazetteer and Guide. The following is from the Akron (O.) Beacon-Journal of July 2: "Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, was in Akron Sunday and Monday and called at Senator Dick's headquarters. Smith was thrice a member of Ohio legislature, voting for Foraker for senator in 1896. Prior to that he was for four years a deputy oil inspector under Gov. Foraker. Smith is chairman of the executive committee and head of the Ohio Afro-American league. Since March 1 he has canvassed the state in the interest of Senator Foraker, and is still at work. He will speak in Point Pleasant July 15, a gathering of the Afro-Americans of southeastern Ohio. Mr. Smith's canvass prior to May 15 sailed in the organization of the league which has taken a stand against both Secretary Taft and Theodore Roosevelt as republican candidates for the presidency next year. "Ohio Afro-Americans, the loyal ones the country over, led by the league, will not support either in the event of his nomination," said Mr. Smith, but are for Senator Foraker for anything he wants."

Republican Clubs Commend Senator Foraker and Endorse Him for President. Suitland, Md.—There was a big joint meeting of Afro-American republican clubs near Silver Hill, Prince Georges county, last week Friday. James W. Poe, of Washington, D.C., was the principal speaker. Among other things he said: "Speaking of the coming election in this state this fall and throughout the country next year," he said, "the republican party will need the ballot of every colored voter in the states north of the Potomac river, and in the states of the great west; as well as in close congressional districts in other states. The wisdom of the republican party will dictate the nomination of a candidate upon whom that vote will unite and it is well known that the nomination of J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, as the standard-bearer of the republican party next summer will bring him a solid colored vote and to every republican candidate for congress and for every other public office to which the votes of the people elect. The colored voters are stirred as never before, and there has never been a time when there were such grave dangers of dividing it as now. A division of the colored vote now means national defeat for the republican party." The following is a paragraph from the "Address to the Country" unanimously adopted: "We commend United States Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, for the enviable record which he has made in the senate as an advocate of justice in all measures and to all men, regardless of race or color. We believe that his broad views, statesmanship, patriotism, great ability and pure character gift the highest position in the gift the people, and believing that his nomination for president of the United States year would bring to him and to all republican candidates for office the support the solid colored vote in this and every other state, we indorse him as the most available candidate for president in 1908." Washington, Baltimore, Maribor, cities, and Prince George, Charles and Montgomery counties were represented at the big mass meeting and celebration of America's national day by Afro-American voters of Maryland. It is becoming more and more apparent that our vote will demand the nomination of a republican candidate for the presidency, who stands for equal justice to all men. Senator Foraker stands for a fair and impartial hearing for every man. The President has "Dumped" Taft. Says the Columbus Post: "It was presumed that Senator Foraker helped to eliminate himself when he opined the rate bill, and to have completed the bill, when he took up the Brownsville affair. But the administration is learning that Foraker cannot be eliminated so easily. "The fight begun to 'eliminate' Foraker in Ohio threatens to react and eliminate Taft instead, with the direct assistance of the president on the pretext that 'Ohio is all split up.' "The president's support of Senator Knox may last 30 days. At the same rate of progress the president may succeed in having everybody but himself eliminated by the time the national republican convention meets next year." 2 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the Interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Every one who has seen the Mexican National band have noted the large number of black members. They are in attendance upon the James-town exposition and are having "a hot time" in more ways than one and are not getting the worst of it either. In an interview in a local daily paper the other day, Congressman Burton said: "There is a strong undercurrent against Mayor Johnson that was not noticeable four and two years ago. If the republicans of Cleveland get together Mayor Johnson will be defeated at the coming election." Weil, the republicans of Cleveland will never be gotten together under the leadership of Bill Crawford, who dominates the Cuyahoga county republican executive committee for the Cleveland Electric Street Railway Co., with the franchise question still the issue, and the committee's "bargain" endorsement of that other "Bill," Secretary Brownville Disfranchisement Taft, so fresh in their minds. Rest assured of that Mr. Burton, and do not pin any faith to "a strong undercurrent against Mayor Johnson that was not noticeable four and two years ago," which is far more than over-balanced (if indeed the anti-Johnson undercurrent exists) by the republican votes lost as a result of that foolish "street car" condition of local republican affairs and the more foolish (from a local political viewpoint) county committee Taft endorsement. The editor of the New York Age seems to feel that because our people are not more largely represented in state and national conventions, they ought not to speak out against probable candidates for the republican presidential nomination who are enemies of the race. He seems to forget that their potency is in the north where every vote counts on election day, and next year, if never before, will be shown in unfortunate results, as far as the republican party is concerned, if President Roosevelt does not right that terrible wrong which resulted from the alleged Brownsville riot. This too, if you please, regardless of the "cold feet" and subsidized Negroes in and out of journalism. Another thing, the editor of The Age might well consider and to great advantage too in the discussion of matters political, and that is that all kinds of convention endorsements like those to which he calls attention are more often meaningless and valueless than otherwise. Just at present the few "leather-lunged brethren who are protesting" so lustily in the interest of Roosevelt and Taft, and asking silly questions as to why our people did not prevent the president's endorsement in this state, and other equally as foolish questions, trying to throw cold water on the efforts of Afro-Americans to hold more state conferences to protest against mistreatment and denounce Roosevelt and Taft for the great injury they have done our soldiers and our people generally, are the aforementioned "cold feet" and subsidized Negroes. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Surely they could be in better business. Hew the Age has changed in the last few weeks! What has caused it? ROOSEVELT, TAFT AND WASHINGTON. The following "special" dispatch to the leading daily newspapers of the country was evidently inspired at the White House and is therefore more or less authoritative as far as the president's attitude in the Brownsville air is concerned, to say the least: Washington, July 7.—The settlement of the Brownsville investigation and the report of the investigating committee will be a compromise that will be approved by the president and Senator Foraker, to the end that the Negro race may thereby receive the greatest possible benefit, and the racial issue, which was so accentuated by the unfortunate incident, will be given a lasting quietus. This inquiry will be a unification of the republican elements to the discomfiture of the democrats. More than this, the report will bring about a more advanced step by President Roosevelt's administration in the recognition of the colored race, so far as the army is concerned. The report will not be made until congress convenes, but it will fall to uphold President Roosevelt's course in all particulars, and will pave the way for the discharged colored wilders to re-enter the army. This much has been disclosed. Sena- tor Foraker will not win on every point, but he may be so well satisfied that he will make no minority report. There are assurances, also, that President Roosevelt will be satisfied No Direct Charge. The committee will make no direct charge that Negro soldiers, individually or collectively, shot up the town of Brownsville, but will let the people draw their own conclusions. The committee will recommend the passage of a law by congress which will authorize the discharged soldiers to re-enlist, "without prejudice," and their army status be fixed as it was before they were discharged without honor, providing each soldier shall make a statement that he did not participate in the shooting. While this result will not give the discharged soldiers as clear health as they had hoped for, it will satisfy them. It will restore to them their civil and military rights which they lost through the president's order. Booker Washington Against His People There is politics as well as the quality of mercy in this decision. There has been no doubt since the action of the administration in the Brownsville case that the Negro race has been stirred to a resentment that it has at no time felt since emancipation. There are intimations that the president has been advised by Booker T. Washington that this resentment did not extend beyond the Negro politicians and would soon blow over. Further investigation, however, has shown that it extends from the more advanced Negroes of the border states to the field hands on the plantations of the south and the farms of the central west. The Brownsville incident and the terrible punishment meted out constituted the first blot upon the record. It has been insisted that the Negroes, Senator Foraker being their spokesmom, that such punishment should not be evicted without positive proof of guilt. This is the view the senate committee will take. The approval by President Roosevelt of such a decision by the senate committee will be accepted the country over as a renewed adherence to his doctrine of the "square deal." He as asserted that his order would stand unless convincing proof was submitted to him of the innocence of the Negro soldiers. The committee CANNOT, in the face of overwhelming evidence, proving the innocence of our malligned soldiers, make a "direct charge," and the great mass of the people, those not prejudiced, have already "drawn their own conclusions," as the president well knows. Not only must "The Black Battalion" be cleared of the malicious charge of shooting up Brownvelt, "and their army status be fixed as it was before they were discharged without honor" by President Roosevelt, but they must be given full credit in every way for the time lost since their connection with the army was so summarily and disgracefully (not to them) severed. Every one of those soldiers have long ago made sworn statements that they did not participate in the Brownville shooting and that they had no "gullibility knowledge" of anyone who did. How could they know when all except three were locked up inside the walls of Ft. Brown on the night of the alleged riot, and that three absent in Mexico—so a Texas grand jury says? Whether the suggested compromise will satisfy the soldiers and our people generally, or not, remains for Senator Foraker to decide and say. Our cause and cause in this Brownville matter is and will remain in his hands until settled, and settled right according to his best judgment. So Dr. Booker T. Washington has been "messing" into the contest and on the side of our enemies, too? Well! Well! WELLL!! No wonder he appointed one of our greatest and most consistent enemies, Secretary Taff, President Roosevelt's right-hand man in the Brownsville fight on our soldiers and the race, a trustee of his Jeanes educational fund for Afro-Americans. In the face of this White House "intimation," if true, we are prepared to believe almost anything of a W. M. N. nature the principal of Tuskegee, Ala., institute is charged with. What a spectacle is here presented—Washington, a member of the race, sliding with our enemies (Roosevelt, Taft and others) in the Brownsville matter; and Senator Foraker, a white man, one of God's noblemen, if you please, suffering all sorts of abuse, spending nearly a thousand dollars of his own money, jeopardizing his seat in the U. S. senate and almost killing his chances of becoming the republican nominee for the presidency next year, in a grand and successful effort, thank God! to clear "The Black Battalion" of the terrible charge of being midnight assassins of not only men, but also innocent women and children; and to clear our people of a resultant charge of being a criminal race that even long years of military discipline does not rid of murderous instincts and desires! If the "intimation" be correct and true, may God forgive Booker T. Washington, for it will take many a day, month and year for our people to do so. Let President Roosevelt fail to do not only "The Black Battail," but also Senator Foraker, our great and good friend in need and friend indeed, FULL JUSTICE in this case, and he, Taft, Booker T. Washington and their confederates in the Brownsville matter, as well as the national republican party, will find out to their sorrow next year that our resentment is deeper than they think and extends further than "from the more advanced Negroes of the border states to the field hands on the plantations of the south and the farms of the central west." The resentment is practically unanimous "The first blot upon the record" of our soldiers, some of whom saved the lives of Col. Roosevelt and his Rough Rider regiment in Cuba and then shared their hardtack with them, must be removed by the man who was entirely too hasty and wrong in putting it there and whose gratitude to at least some of his saviours ought to have been too great to ever have permitted himself to be misled THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 13. Into making so grelvous, hurtful and inexcusable a blunder. The "punishment meted out" was indeed "terrible" when considered from personal and racial viewpoints, and should never have been visited without positive proof of guilt secured in a civil court or court-martial. This is now clear to all—even the president, and made so by results secured by that greatest of orators, statesmen and jurists, our Charles Summer of to-day, SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER, Ohio's greatest son by far, in public life to-day. Convincing proof of the entire innocence of our ex-soldiers, former members of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry, has been printed by the government and is not only in the hands of the senate committee on military affairs, but also in the possession of the president, who, in the face of his now notorious "discharge without honor" order and his persistent stand in favor of it since, will have to do more than is suggested in this compromise to afro-Americans that he really believes in his loudly spoken doctrine of the "square deal." OUR GREATEST SUCCESS The Picnic, Parade and Lecture— Personal Mention—Other Notes. HAS THE RIGHT RING. A Lad Who "Sees Things" and Sees Them Right—For Principle and Foraker. Urbana, O—I am no politician; I am only a school boy. However, a question has just come to me which I find it easy to answer. Must our men jump into the "band wagon" simply because the majority may go that way? I for one say, not 'Ten million more (with the exception of a few, who for the sake of a little money, applause and popularity, will sell out their race) say no, also what if Taft does get the nomination, must we join in just to be "in the game"? A paper published at Indianapolis says: If the colored brother does not get in the game pretty soon, he will not get any of the pie. This may be true, but we don't want any of "the pie." What we want is what we are fighting for and what we stand for—fair play, "a square deal" and our rights under the constitution. We are fighting for principle and not for money, applause or popularity. There are some among us who say we ought to stop agitating and that we "lose out" by it. The fact is they don't stand as high among the race in the eyes of their white political masters, if the race does not always do what they say. There are some good people in this country yet, and they are here to stay. The man of the race who is going to be respected in this country is the one who comes out in a square way and demands his rights no matter how big the "stick" may be. We are for Senator Foraker. If he wins, we will win. If he goes down to defeat, we go down to defeat with him. That is the way I stand on the question. Very truly yours. JULIUS CALDWELLE Bradford. Pa.

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 senateated 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 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-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.

Miss Rita Strass, milliner, living at 2574 EB. 58th street; V. C. Fish, B. 824 street, and Paul Wooden, B. 18th Street, testified they belleved the bell and shcut of warning came after the boy was struck. Wooden testified that the brougham was within three feet cf the ranning board and that the boy was struck almost as he alighted “The auto was going pretty fast,” sald Wooden, “if you consider that the driver should have been stopping to ayold an accident.” Hanna said after the hearing: “There was never a clearer cace of recklessness cn the part of a person struck. It was. c sad case, of course, but the boy was wholly to biame,” Rats! He stated that from the attitude of the parents and the nature of the _testimoay brought in, he believed they intend bringing suit against him. We should hope 00. Coroner Burke stated that there was doubtless carelessness on the part of the boy. “The testimony showed that the machine was only moving about six or seven miles an hour. The bey stepped directly in front of it and the accident was un- avoidable.” Of course, Mr. Coroner, “there was carelessness on the part of the boy” as you say, when the lad was “paralyzed with fear and had lost the sense of thought,” as a very natural result. So Mr. Hanna testi fied, And still you say, Mr. Coroner, according to Jast Friday’s Cleveland Press: “There was cirelessness on ‘the part of the boy.” Your remark and Hanna’s testimony under oath do not seem to harmonize.

Roberts, 9 famous English chemist, who has made @ study of the scalp of colored people for the past 30 years, and who, after much time and experience, has’ prepared this great tonie 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. bas ever known for the HAIR of colored people.

Subscription THE GAZETTE Two Dollars | $2 A MADE A NEW FASHION. Good Joke Played in Old Days on Would-Be Fashionable. Old Camden, in his “Remains,” tells a good story of a trick played by a knight upon a wounded fashionable shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop purged John Drakes, the shoemaker of Norwich in the time of King Henry VIII, of the proud humor which our people have to be of the gentlemen’s cut. This knight bought as much fine French tawny cloth as should make him a gown, and sent it to the tailor’s to be made. John Drakes, a shoemaker, coming to this tailor’s and seeing the knight’s gown cloth lying there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the same price and pattern and make it of the same fashion as the knight’s. Not long after the knight, coming in to the tailor to be measured for his gown, and perceiving the like cloth lying there, asked whose it was. “John Drakes,” the shoemaker, who will have it made of the self-same fashion that yours is made of.” Then make mine as full of cuts as the shears will make it!” John Drakes had no time to go for his gown till Christmas day, when he meant to wear it. Perceiving the same to be full of cuts, he began to swear at the tailor. “I have done naught but what you bid me,” quoth the tailor, “for as Sir Philip Calthrop’s garment is, even so have I made yours.” “By my latetest!” quoth John Drakes, “I will never wear gentleman’s fashions again!”—London T. P.’s Weekly. ALCOHOL IN MEDICINES. Seventy-Five Per Cent of Doctor's Prescriptions Call for it. Now that the National Pure Food and Drugs law is in effect all "patent" medicines in liquid form bear on the label a statement of the percentage of alcohol contained in them. The average amount of alcohol is said to be about ten per cent, some have more and some less, but that is about the average. Alcohol is everywhere recognized as a chemical necessity for the preservation of organic substance from deterioration, and from freezing and it is also required to dissolve substances not soluble in water. But for the use of a small quantity of alcohol in most ready-to-use medicines those preparations which most families keep constantly on hand would likely be decayed or frozen when their use became necessary. Alcohol is an indispensable requisite in the fluid extracts and tinctures which are exclusively used in filling prescriptions written by physicians, and these tinctures and extracts contain from 20 to 90 per cent of alcohol. More than 75 per cent of all the liquid medicines prescribed by physicians contain alcohol in large proportions. Charles A. Rapelye, a leading pharmacist of Hartford, Conn., some time ago examined 25 prescriptions representing a fair average of those written by physicians to be compounded, and none being for specialties. The average amount of alcohol in the whole number was 35 per cent; but of the 25 prescriptions five contained no alcohol, so that the average percentage of the remaining 20 which did contain alcohol was nearly 45 per cent; or more than four times the probable average alcoholic strength of "patent" medicines. There is some difference of opinion as to whether it is or is not desirable as a stimulant in case of sickness, but there is no difference of opinion as to the necessity for its use as a solvent and preservative in most cases. The attention of the medical world has recently been called to a manifest issue issued by prominent London physicians who, while deploring the evils from the use of alcoholic beverages, are convinced "of the correctness of the opinion so long and generally held, that in disease alcohol is a rapid and trustworthy restorative" and that in many cases it may be truly described as life-preserving, owing to its power to sustain cardiac and nervous energy, while protecting the nitrogenous tissues. This manifest which was published in The Lancet, was issued and signed by T. J. McCall Anderson, M. D. Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Glasgow; Alfred B. Barrs, William H. Beanett, K. C. V. C., F. R. C. S.; James Crichton-Browne, W. E. Dixon, Dyce Duckworth, M. D. LLD.; T. R. Glyn, R. F. Fraser, M. D. F. R.; S. T. Glyn, R. G. Romers, M. C. F. R.; W. D. Halliburton, M. D. LLD, D. F.

Youngster Probably Will Change Ideas in Course of Time. There is a small boy in this town, says the Baltimore American, the son of a rather distinguished lawyer, who has decided opinions on what constitutes true aristocracy. One day recently a friend called upon his mother, and, while waiting for the hostess, was entertained by the small boy. "What are you going to do when you grow up?" was the stereotyped question she propounded in the effort to start the conversation. And drink cool water. "And why are you going to do such things?" asked the visitor agast. "Oh, all southern gentlemen do them." Proving the Point. She—A woman ought to get credit Sor being just as logical and ready to give a reason as a man. He—Why? She—Oh, because THE BEST HE COULD GET. Amateur Gardener Could Not Understand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout. The woes of the amateur gardener are very amusing to others, but decidedly real to the man who has spoiled a suit of clothes, bilistered his hands and lost his temper in his efforts to make things grow. A young man, recently married, early in the spring secured a suburban place, mainly with the idea of "fresh, home-grown vegetables." Every evening he would hurry through his supper and rush out to his garden, where he displayed more energy than skill. But, alas! When many little green things began to break the ground in his neighbors' gardens, his own remained as bare as the Sahara. "It certainly has got me beat," he confided to a friend at his office one day. "I can't understand why not a blessed thing has come up. I planted peas and corn and tomatoes." "Perhaps the seed were reflective," the friend suggested. "I hardly think it was that," the gardener replied. "for I got the very best—paid 15 cents a can for them." LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED TRUST. Responsibilities of Officers and DI rectors. Evidently President Kingsley of the New York Life Insurance company has learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibility and duty of directors of corporations. Speaking to the new board of trustees, on the occasion of his election to the presidency, he emphasized the fact that "life insurance is more than a private business, that life insurance trustees are public servants, charged at once with the obligations of public service and with the responsibilities that attach to a going business which at the same time must be administered as a trust." He also realizes that similar responsibilities rest upon the officers of the company. "I understand," he says, "your anxiety in selecting the men who are day by day to carry this burden for you, who are to discharge this trust in your behalf, who are to administer for the benefit of the people involved the multitudinous and exacting details to which it is impossible for you to give personal attention. My long connection with the New York Life—covering nearly twenty years—my service in about every branch of the company's working organization, gives me, as I believe, a profound appreciation, not merely of the heavy burden you have placed on my shoulders, but of the standards of efficiency, the standards of faith, the standards of integrity, which must be maintained at all times by the man who serves you and the policyholders in this high office." Best of all, perhaps, he feels that words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short of performance. "My thanks, therefore," he continues, "for an honor which outranks any distinction within the reach of my ambition, cannot be expressed in words; they must be read out of the record I make day by day." "Soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed." Sad Disappointment. A verdant-looking old fellow recently entored the office of a down-town woman's exchange, and after a moment's hesitation inquired of the lady in charge: "Is this here the Woman's Exchange?" "It is," replied the lady. "Well," continued the countryman, somewhat sheepishly, "I'd like to swap off my old woman for 'most anybody you happen to have on hand.'"—Lippincott's Magazine. Flow of Arterian Well To calculate the rate of flow ot an artesian well a simple plan is to lower a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of say 500 feet and then electrically explode a cap to burst the bottle. The time required for the fluid to appear at the surface gives an accurate gauge as to the velocity of flow. It is claimed that this method gives results as accurate as a weir. The diameter of the pipe being known, the rate of flow readily follows. COULDN'T KEEP IT. Kept It Hid from the Children. "We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in the house. It goes so fast I have to hide it, because the children love it so. It is just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is desired. When milk or water is used, a little sugar should be added, but when cold cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar is not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture. This, in effect, is the first act of digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts food is pre-digested and is most perfectly assimilated by the very weakest stomach. "There's a Reason."

Scores Both Roosevelt and Taft! 一 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 Oscevelt, 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 indicted 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. Gillmore, chairman; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Claveland; Hon. C. L. Maxwell, Xenia; Rev. E. L. Gilliam, Columbus; Walter S. Thomas, Lincoln; Prof. W. P. W. Dauley, Lincoln; Rev. W. O. Harper, Dayton; Major Arthur J. Riggs, Springfield; Dr. W. G. Wren, Harper; Dr. S. J. Dordan, Stebbett, and Rev. D. L. White; Dr. W. G. Wren, did not escape the Taft order to as the instrument for the president. "Foraker first, last and all the time," and defiance of the man with the big stick, was declared to be the slogan of Afro-Americans, in the future, and the name of "Foraker" was determined upon as the password to any meeting of our citizens. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 a. m. by Dr. Wren. Rev. Dr. Talbert, of Wilberforce, was named for chairman by the editor of The Gazette, and Dr. Wren and Mr. Poston were made secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee were made by delegates and others present. Among this number were: Rev. C. S. Williams, of Washington C. H.; Messrs. Riggs, Smith, Talbert, Corney N. B. Marshall, of Washington, D. Glehrst Stewart, of New York City, of Glehrst committee returned and reported the splendid declaration of principles; anti-Taft resolutions, and provided for a permanent organization known as the Ohio Afro-American league, the wildest cheering and enthusiastic acclaim was heard for a block. Declaration of Principles "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumphant campaign against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought barge and shoot their servile bondage and shoot their devilous emblem of our country, the stars 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, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal rights may be, we believe in the inherent right of American citizen to "hand pal" 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 compuls us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United States so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have to point where we would prefer to have the president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer, be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. Chesley D. I. Arne, Steubenville, "J. M. Gilmire, 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 1966, 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. W. H. Taft, after the dismissal without honor of 167, annuated colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Broeerville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore, be it. Resolved, That we, as law-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 1804, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, integrity, and because his indorsement of the dismalusal without trial of 187 and the men from 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.

"The other night, coming home in the car," said the professional entertainer. "I began to wonder if I could bring tears to my own eyes as I do to the eyes of the other people. I tried. I thought of all the wrongs I had committed, and felt sorry for people I had wronged. I thought of all the mistakes I had made that other people had profited by and pretty soon the tears began to gather in my eyes and roll down my cheeks. "I forgot there were other people in the car who might notice me. So a woman got up from across the car and came to me. "I see, sir," said she, 'that you are in some trouble. Can I do anything to help you' "Lord bless you, no, madam,' I told her, hastily wiping away my tears, 'I am a professional entertainer and was practicing on myself. That's all." WHERE DOCTORS FAILED.

WHY SHE WAS THANKFUL. Little Ons Had Reason to Approve Father's Choice. Of the sisters of a well-known New York family one is married. She has one little girl greatly petted by all the aunts and subject to much advice from all of them. Of this last the little lady sometimes wearies, which weariness on a certain occasion made itself shown in the following reply from her small ladyship: Said one aunt: "If you were my child I should have you do thus and thus." Said another aunt: "Were you my child I would do so and so." The remaining aunt made a similar remark. The little lady thought it high time to express her own feelings. "But I have," she said, "always been so thankful that papa married the sister he did!" ALMOST A SOLID SORE. Skin Disease from Birth—Fortune Spent on Her Without Benefit— Cured Her with Cuticura. "I have a cousin in Rockingham Co. who once had a skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. — suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he commenced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby's without a scar on it. I have not seen her in seventeen years, but I have heard from her and the last time I heard she was well. Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905." Most men are hopelessly bad or else they are awfully lied about.

It was the desire of a teacher in a negro school to impress upon the minds of the youths the benefits derived at Tuskegee and other seats of learning for the ambitious negro. One day, in closing a brilliant discourse on this subject, in which Booker T. Washington was set forth as a criterion, she said to one little boy who had vividly heard not a word of her talk: "Now 'Rastus, give the name of the greatest negro." The answer was surprisingly forthcoming—"Joe Gans!" The Terrible Maña Neither the Naples Camorra, the Paris Apaches, nor the Black Hand of America is the most powerful and terrible secret society in the whole world, in spite of the harrowing details of their ghastly work. The palm must go to the Mafia, which flourishes in Italy, and has done so for more than 300 years. This society, which works so swiftly and silently, yet so surely, was founded in Sicily for protection against the injustice of foreign rulers—London "P. T. O." Were He a Bird With an ugly sneer he tossed aside the bread which she had made with her own hands. "If I were only an ostrich—" he began. But the young woman cut him short.
