THE TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 2. Mandates of Fashion 1 The day of the supremacy of the linen costume for hackabout wear is over. The trouble with linen is that it musses readily. A mussed linen is a deplorable sight, and one can't ride in railway trains without leaving traces of it on linen. Rajah and worsteds do not muss readily and are quite as cool and more pliable. As for the lightweight cloths, those that do not wrinkle easily are ideal. For years they were too heavy and warm to make comfortable travelling costumes and those for wear around town on warm days. Now, however, that the art of making them in serviceable yet smart colors, and also of lining them with silks so thin as to add hardly anything to their substance, the former objections are done away with. Then, too, while starch added to the heat of linen, there is none of that in wool and worsted, and they clean better and are suitable for a greater number of emergency cases in the gown line than the Rajahs. Not a few so-called "jumper" or pinnate dresses are seen on the younger matrons and girls. The jumper frocks are extremely pretty, and made by a dressmaker are so far different from the ordinary jumper dress one sees by the dozen that the wearers of the former need not mind the similarity of idea. Besides, all sorts of coats THE HAT There is a tendency to wear the hats farther back than ever from the forehead, and added to this in many instances there is the appearance of the hats being two sizes too large and—so far as the brim is concerned—unformally large at the back. But the eyes grow accustomed to these cloche and mushroom hats of peculiar outline. However, just at first they strike everyone in the same way—they appear to be falling off the head! Mystery of Shoe Laces Mystery of Shoe Laces. Probably no trade secrets are more jealously guarded than the modus operandi employed by manufacturers of shoe laces. The braiding process is the main bone of contention, being the most intricate end of the work. Lest counterfeiters should attempt to duplicate sections, there are no automatic shoe lace making machines placed on the market, either in this country or abroad. In order to ensure protection against possible spies about the plant, different parts of the In Union There Is Strength SUMMER GOWNS. and skirts are copied in cheap material, so one could hardly expect the convenient and cool jumper to escape. For the woman with a limited pocket-book they are boons indeed. A special point about the summer gowns of to day is the outline of the waistband. The short-waisted effect is still very popular, but we now rarely see a waistband with a decided point in front; the correct line is that which circles the waist with the slightest possible droop in front, but nothing approaching a point. It is, perhaps, difficult for women to avoid exaggeration, but I cannot help regretting that the point in front is beginning to be considered "incorrect." The most becoming belt a woman can wear is a very narrow one which droops distinctly in front, and which is held in place by a buckle at the back. This belt makes the waist look round and slender. Of course the pointed belt has been done to death by the misguided women who insisted last season on wearing exaggerated corsets of the straight-fronted persuasion, and who arranged their waistbands in such a way that they made themselves look, when standing up, like ill-made dwarfs! These short-sighted persons not alone made themselves objects of polite ridicule, they also brought undeserved disgrace on an infinitely becoming style of belt. The circular veil is a Paris innovation. At first sight this arrangement of net and lace suggests a dainty parasol cover, but when posed on a large cloque hat it gives the most picturesque and satisfactory effects. The new veil is cut in a perfect circle, and is, as I have said, large enough to cover a small parasol. It is edged all round with pleated frills or with little quillings of narrow ribbons; or again, it is inset with fine lace all round the edge and further enriched by the introduction of several rows of very narrow black velvet ribbon. This veil may be arranged in several ways. It may be caught in at the throat, allowing the pleated frills to drape themselves round the neck in a peculiarly becoming style. At other times the veil may be left perfectly loose—hanging like a curtain all round the hat; or it may be drawn towards the back and held in place by fancy pins. As to the top hats displayed in our picture the top hats is soft brown straw, whose brim is lined with black silk and then caught against the crown by a big and deftly tied bow of the same glaze. The hat in the middle is a fascinating cloche hat, whose white net is patterned with shadowy pink roses and trails of wee forget-me-nots, its gauged fulness being finally bordered by two little frills edged with Valenciennes lace. For its further decoration there is tied right across the front of the full crown a bow of pink silk ribbon with a cluster of roses and buds in the same lovely shade, caught in the center with the prettiest possible effect. The third hat displayed is fashioned of white Valenciennes not, the transparency of the down-dipped brim being bordered with a broad band of black straw, over which fall the laceed handkerchief points of the Valenciennes drapery veiling the crown, while then, tied in front, is a many-looped bow of the same filmsy and decorative fabric. machine are wrought or cast at various distant points, whence they are shipped to headquarters and there put together.

Also That of the United States Constitution—Our Soldiers—Disfranchisement. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, in a recent speech in Ohio, appealed to his hearers not to support any candidate for any office who favors or acquiesces in the disfranchisement of citizens of the United States. The constitution of the United States guarantees to each state in the Union a republican form of government and this can but be construed as a guarantee and safeguard to the federal citizenship of each state of the sovereign right to voice in the affairs of government. This outspoken declaration of Senator Foraker is the first pointed utterance of a national republican leader evidencing an aggressive fight against the annulment of suffrage rights by the Bourbon oligarchy and shows plainly that there is developing a determined movement to the end that the American constitution be sustained and enforced in the letter and the spirit. The suppressed white south, the 100%, the disfranchisement white men of Alabama and the beaten black slacks, hope for the political thrallom except the constitution of the United States is regarded by the Bourbon oligarchy as meaning just what it declares. It is the prerogative, it is the sworn obligation of the congress and of the president to uphold the American constitution. The manifest duty of those who do vote, each voter being sworn to uphold the constitution of the republic, is simply to respond to Senator Foraker's patriotic appeal. The most effective way to cause the constitution to be upheld is to repudiate those at the ballot-box who are not squarely for the constitution. At the ballot-box is the real place to a repudiation felt. The Southern American republican vote with Senator Foraker on this proposition appeals to republicans south and north to mash the political head of the traitor to the sovereignty of the American citizen—Alexander City (Ala.) Southern City. That Taft Endorsement. "The mountain in labor brought forth a mouse." The State Central committee has fired its illegal, unauthorized broadsize, folded its tent and quietly crept away. Nobody killed, nobody wounded. How art the mighty fallen? A few months ago, a few weeks ago, a few days ago, and everything was to be laid gently at the feet of "the mighty one." A certain senator was to be eliminated. The Big Stick was brought out, and so were sundry jobs and postoffices! Foraker still survives. "Ah, vile ambition; how doth thou deceive!" The effort to boost a certain candidate as the unanimous choice of Ohio has been marked by an abnormal exhibition of selfishness. The republican party of this state, struggling in the grasp of many-sided democracy, was energetically assisted to defeat by the gentleman who now capers nimble to the front seeking the plaudits. Our petition is upon us, bringing a call for reform to the republican party must wait until personal ambitions are satisfied! Future issues crowded into the present, feepardizing our chances simply to oblige one person and his brother. If everybody wants hisaste! Mr. Taft may some day realize that the strenuousness was exerted prematurely; result, miscarriage—Cincinnati (O.) Union. Senator Foraker. It is not to be expected that all colored men will agree as to who is the proper man to be made the republican an candidate for the presidency; but there is one thing upon which we all can and should agree and that is, that the race owes an eternal debt of gratitude to Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. He is by all odds the best champion the race has had in congress since the days of Charles Summer and Thaddess Stevens. He has taken a position in the Senate and the opressed. Just at this time a pleader for justice to the American Negro is not especially popular in this country. The colored people in Ohio have it in their power to see that he shall not be eliminated from public life and they should do so. Our fight should not be so much to punish or take revenge upon our enemies as to support and encourage our friends. The Brownsville case will not down. We will hear much of it for many months to come. Senator Foraker is to be thanked for bringing to it the public attention which it deserves. Philadelphia (Pa.) Odd Fellows' Journal Senator Foraker Speaks In his magnificent speech, Mr. Foraker showed the injustice of discharging the Negro soldiers without trial; that under the federal constitution every man has a right to be heard in his defense before a verdict is readered, and that the president was harsh in reaching his conclusions in the matter of the Brownsville affray. Mr. Foraker also said that the evidence in the investigation would not convince a fair minded man that the shooting GAZETTE. was done by the Negro soldiers, and he would not be a party to the persecution of an American citizen; but that he would stand up for the rights of all men, whether white, red or black; that this was his plain duty under his oath. To say that he delighted the big audience to which he spoke, would be putting it mildly. Foraker is the idol of the colored people, and in the event that he is nominated for president on the republican ticket, he would vote of that people. If we Foraker, then let us have Bryan or anybody else, who will speak a good word for us, in standing for equal rights under the law.—Nashville (Tenn.) A. M. E. S. S. Monitor. At Work for Senator Foraker Houston, Tex.-Prof. F. I. Richardson has been mailing broadcast in Texas a printed circular, the concluding lines of which read as follows: Let's get together. Do you believe in a square deal? We should tell our people with whom we come in contact who has been our best and trusts friend in this struggle. He, of all others, is entitled to our unswayable friendship, particularly so at this time. That man is that peerless statesman, Senator Joseph B. Foraker. The senator has done so much for our soldiers and the race in general in this Brownsville riot fight in the senate and subsequent investigation, as well as securing for us the senate's investigation, and has suffered so much in ridiculous criticism at the hands of his own people, because of the same, that it is now up to our people to show their mark of appreciation. If you approve such a meeting and will get busy, make it known to me by answering these questions, viz: What time do you think best to hold the meeting? Which is the most hospitable and desirable city in which to hold the same? Yours for the race, F. I. RICHARDSON. F. I. RICHARDSON. Will Bolt Taft. Lima, O.—The local Times-Democrat of July 30, contained the following: "The colored population of Lima is deeply interested in the action to come, which may be too late for our columns to-day. The colored voters will desert in droves if even the state committee so much as endorses their enemy. 'If Taft is endorsed, later nominated and runs for president,' said silver-haired J. D. Morin to-day, 'I'll vote the democratic ticket, and I am not the only one.'" Mr. Morin is one of our oldest and most highly respected residents, well known throughout Ohio as a leading Afro-American republican. He expresses the sentiments of our people of Ohio, particularly, and the entire country in general. "No Taft in ours." TAFT AND TILLMAN. No Taft Candidacy for Them—Denounce State Central Committee —Command Foraker. Washington C. H. O—Our people held a largely attended meeting last week Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Gee lyeum. After stirring speeches from several of those present, it was agreed to organize a Foraker club. Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Cleveland, and Hon. C. L. Maxwell, of Xenia, members of the Ohio Afro-American league, have been invited to be present at the organization, which will be under the rules governing the state league. The following resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote: Whereas, We learn with deep regret that the state central committee has endorsed the candidacy of Secretary Taft for the presidency; and. Whereas, The secretary of war, through his speeches sympathizing with the south in disfranchising the Negro, and his action in the Brownville affair, has won the admiration and love of that arch Negro hater, Ben Tillman, who has openly anlyzed Taft's republican preference for the presidency; and. Whereas, The republican state central committee ignored the colored republicans of the state by absolutely refusing to entertain any protest from them against the man who is so bitterly against our interests and apologizes for the war amendments; therefore, be it. Resolved. That the sentiment expressed by the state central committee does not in the least express the sentiment of loyal colored citizens who have been and are absolutely and unalterably opposed to the nomination of Secretary Taft so long as he maintains his sincerity in his speeches condoning disfranchise; be it further Resolved. That we commend the wise, sagacious and uncompromising attitude of our matchless senator. Joseph B. Foraker, and heartily endorse him for any office to which he may aspire. Hon. Harry C.

CORVINE PATTERSON, Of Kansas City, Kan., the Only Afro- American Street Commissioner in the North—His Interesting Career. We give above an excellent portrait of Mr. Corvine Patterson, who was born near Roanoke, Howard county, Missouri. October 21, 1848. In 1861 Corvine joined the army at Glasgow, Mo., being mustered into company G, U. S. C. I. at Benton barracks. St. Louis, December, 1863. The work of this regiment at Port Hudson and other points in Louisiana and on the Red River expedition under Gens. Banks and Lawler, won its members the name of the "fighting dare-devil". At Baton Rouge, Patterson received a serious bullet wound, the only one in three years' service of the war of the rebellion. In 1866 his regiment returned to Jefferson barracks. St. Louis, where it was mustered out, receiving the highest praise from its commanding officers while it attended the military headquarters and attended school, on going to Lincoln Institute, settling in Wyndotte, now Kansas City, Kan, at the age of 21 years. From this point he railroaded and also helped to build what is now the Frisco railroad as far as Baxter Springs, Kan. In July, 1873, he married Miss Henrietta Scott, of Wyndotte. Mr. Patterson saved his earnings and invested in real estate, and at one time was worth about $30,000. He is still the owner of considerable valuable property in and about his home city. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson have a son and daughter, the latter is the wife of his business partner. He (Patterson) is the commander of Post, G. A. R., the oldest in the state of Kansas, and has attended all the state and national encampments of the organization. Since 1874 he has been a member of the Baptist church holding a number of earnings and invested one of the charter member's financial assets and a trustee of the Metropolitan church, of Kansas City, Kan. He is also treasurer of the Kaw Valley association of the Baptist church, and is also active in Sunday school work. In 1874 he was for two years a member of the board of education of Wyndotte, and in 1880 was elected constable, serving eight years. Since he has been a deputy marshal under three different mayors. Mr. Patterson was a member of the state republican convention that nominated St. John for governor in 1883, and has attended nearly all the state and national republican conventions since that time. He is a member of the board of trustees of the State Industrial department of Western University, and recently succeeded in having the county commissioners decide to build a macadamized road to the enclosed mall in matitudin. His little five months' old daughter, Henrietta Angeline Angeline, carried off the first prize for natural beauty at the Mercantile Exposition carrying baby show, October 19, at Kansas City, Kan. triumphing over a multitude of babies of all races. He has served as deputy under two sheriffs. In 1889 he was appointed street commissioner, serving two years, and was the first sanitary sergeant in his city. For ten years past Mr. Patterson has been at the head of the city sanitary cleaning department, the work being done by the firm of Patterson & Gaydon. On May 7 he was called before the mayor and city council, six of whom are republicans and six democrats, and given a thorough surprise by the unanimous tender of the office of street commissioner of Kansas City, Kan. a position he had not sought or even dreamed of. This is the biggest political plum held by any American in the state of Kansas. It is good for the city to have a busy and pays a salary of $1.200, with office and a horse and buggy mutilated in the city. He has been mastered in the city partitions of streets in Kansas City, Kan., Armourdale, and Argentine when it shall be annexed to the city at an early date—a total population of over 100,000. His appointment gave general satisfaction to all classes, political and racial, and poor. It was recognition of faithful service, honesty and the right kind of living. Olean, N. Y., News. I. J.

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. For President Senator J.B. Foraker The fight on Afro-American Elks has extended from the southland into the north, and the end is not yet. This is to be deplored. The mere fact that Senator Ben Tillman gave a presidential candidate certificate to Taft about settles the fat secretary of war's chances, if he really ever had any. Senator Foraker's speeches in Ohio in the last few weeks have proved a revelation because he has refuted so many false charges of a subsidized Taft press. Let the good work go on! The civil war veterans of Iowa who heard Tillman lecture and called him "a traitor to the country" ought to have emphasized their remarks in another way, and he would have understood them better. Sergeant Mingo Saunders, of "The Black Battalion," deserves some recognition at the hands of our people for the manly stand in the Brownsville matter he has maintained at some sacrifice, when he could have done otherwise on the suggestion of President Roosevelt or the war department and materially benefited himself. Postmaster General Meyer ought not to have allowed those "chivalrous" southern residents of Crisfield, Md., to send through the mails souvenir post cards of the lynching and burning of a human being. What is the matter with the Roosevelt administration? Its attitude toward our people here of late savors entirely too strongly of southern prejudice. The "Rev." S. L. Crouch (white), a Methodist minister of Chattanooga, Tenn., has recently shot and killed two Afro-Americans within a month and still that church retains him as pastor. This is a perfect indication of a certain condition existing in the south and clearly shows how lightly Afro-American life is held in that benighted section of the country. One result of the Tillman lecture in Michigan early in July was the killing of an Afro-American lad by a white boy of tender years. Still there are those, even some Afro-Americans, who very foolishly contend that South Carolina's one-eyed senator's miserable attacks upon the race help rather than hurt. They are vitally injurious not only to our people, but to all other classes who are so unfortunate as to hear or read them. As a rule the south's "Jim Crow" cars are placed next to the baggage cars which are immediately following the engines, as well as being about the poorest on the train. The result is that in accidents those of our people who are forced to occupy them are subject to the greatest risks in accidents. This fact resulted in the death of six members of the race early in July at Johnson City, Tenn. where there was a wreck. 'More southern "friendship" for our people. How friendly the Roosevelt administration is toward our people can be guaged in part by its retention in the government service of a white clerk in the drafting room of the architect of the treasury at Washington, D. C. who a few weeks ago so brutally saulted an Afro-American co-worker. There are a number of things these days like the above which are, at least in our opinion, pretty correct indications, which ought to be noted and remembered, particularly by our voters the country over. A remembrance of them may be very useful next year. Ex-Congressman Vespasian Warner, U. S. commissioner of pensions, ought to be asked to resign, because of his effort to prevent his stepmother from securing her dower interest in his father's estate on the false charge that she had Negro blood in her veins. Such a man should not be permitted to hold a high government position another twenty-four hours. The re- flection on about 10,000,000 Afro-American citizens embodied in Warner's contemptible charge, whether it be false or not, ought to be sufficient ground for his removal by President Roosevelt, providing, of course, the latter's feeling of respect for our people is what he claims it to be. hat he claims it to be. Gov. Broward and his staff, of Florida, visited in New York City recently. One of the latter in a fit of anger because of some alleged inattention to his wife, stabbed an Afro-American elevator boy with a pocketknife. The result was he landed in the "Empire City's Tenderloin" jail on a charge of felonious assault, and the governor was unable to ball him out the first night. He admitted cutting the lad and for the alleged reason given above. One southern "jackass" received a much needed lesson in the court room the next day. Our people in this section of the country have some rights that southerners and all others must respect when in the north at least. The resolutions adopted by the New England conference of the A. M. E. church last month unmercifully score President Roosevelt for branding, even by indirection, our people as a race of rapists; for charging them with shielding criminals of the race; for his inexcusable discharge "without honor" of "The Black Battalion;" for his persecution and attempt to ridicule Senator Foraker for succeeding in establishing the innocence of our soldiers, and for his effort to subsidize our people into regarding him in a more favorable light by the gift of an office or two. The conference also urged our people to know no party lines in the future, but to battle for justice and our friends. It urged our people to continue their crusade against disfranchisement, mob violence and "Jim Crow" cars, and to continue to contend for the same equality which is granted to all others who are not classed as Negroes. The resolutions were the work of Rev. R. C. Ransom, a former pastor of St. John's church, this city, and are indeed a credit not only to him, but also to the intelligence, loyalty and manhood of the members of the conference that adopted them, and to the race. As to White Grandmothers As to White Grandmothers. At a recent meeting of the Southernern卑南 multiquan association, Senator Tillman warned to his usual raring on the Negro problem. He stated that because of mixed schools the present generation of Ohio women would be grandmothers of mulattos. *Mixed schools* have never in this country been productive of mixed marriages. Berea, Oberlin and other colleges for the coeducation of the races have been in existence long enough to thoroughly demonstrate the falsity of his assertion. White women of the south, rather than those of the north, have the honor of being grandmothers to Negroes in the white race of the south can well afford to be virtuous (?) champions as Tillman. A demagogue of the lowest type, his denunciations draw into prominence true conditions in the south, which are not very flattering to its inhabitants.—Cincinnati (O.) Union To Wipe Out Peonage. Washington, D. C.—The government has entered upon a definite propaganda for breaking up the pledge (slavery) systems known to exist in the southern states. Cases have already been made in the courts of Florida and North Carolina and in the state of Missouri. Now the government learns that in Virginia similar flagrant abuses exist at this time. It is no exaggeration to say that information of justice showing that thousands of men are held in involuntary bondage in the lumbering camps of the south, in the turpentine camps of the Carolinas and in the mines of Virginia. Those Who Did It Known Washington, D. C—Direct and positive evidence that Brownsville, Tex., was not shot up by three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry is expected from several new witnesses who will appear before the senate committee on military affairs when, in November, it resumes its investigation of the riot of August 13, 1906. These witnesses will testify that the town of Brownsville was shot up by an organized band of desperate men (white), who have since that time been terrorizing those residents of the town who are willing to tell the whole story. Left Servant Her Entire Estate. Philadelphia, Pa.—Mrs. Sarah Waln Hendrickson, a descendant of Willi ham Penn, died in March, at her home in Wainford, N. J. 91 years old. Fourteen months before her death, it has been learned, Mrs. Hendrickson signed over her estate, including the family homestead, portraits, jewels, silver plate and antique furniture, to an Afro-American, John Wilson, who was a beloved family friend. She was a 60-year widow. Her property it is said, to pay off a debt of $8,390 which she owed him on account of unpaid wages, and smell loans. The Usual Result. Charlotte, N. C.—The efforts of North Carolina to bring to justice the twenty citizens of Anson county who took J. V. Johnson from Wadesboro jail the night of May 20, 1806, and lynched him, came to an abrupt termination when the jury in the case of Lewis, the second of the lynchers to be tried, returned a verdict of not guilty. Ohio Central Committee Earc Ohio Central Committee Force. Senator Foraker is a moral and manly man, and will take more than a state committee which sent to be tools of the administration to win the battle in Ohio. Like Frederick Douglass did in the days of President Johnson, Foraker will go to the people—St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. Five Arrests for Lyncing Guthrie, Okla—U. S. Marshall Abernathy has arrested Michael E. White and C. A. "Short" Green. Frank Sisk and Jack Smith on the charge of taking part in the lynching of an Afro-American family. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1907. 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 nominated in the next republican state convention. His suggestion is alright as far as it has reference to Messrs. Foraker and Harris, but no amount of suggestions from him or any one else will secure for Secretary Taft the endorsement and support of self and race respecting Afro-Americans, particularly Ohio, and President Brownsville Texas as Roosevelt and Secretary Disfranchisement Brownsville Taft, as well as Mr. Cox, might just as well know this now as later on. It will be easier to secure the united support of organized labor throughout the country for Taft than it will be to gain the favor for him of loyal Afro-Americans. 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-Stag, and manager of his brother's alleged candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency, owes 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 never 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 a race with his infernal扮, the Clansman, and the Secretary Taft out-Roosevelt Roosevelt in his effort to fasten the alleged Brownville, Texas, riot crime upon "The Black Battailion," it is high time for the others of our people beside those who live in Ohio to get busy along the same resolution line. ```markdown ``` notify us at once if your Gazette fails to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

A Rain of Iron Followed an Attack on 50 French Marines—Not One Frenchman was Killed. Tangier, Morocco—Casa Blanca, on the *Morocco* coast, has been bombarded by French cruisers. The Moors are reported to have been shot down in large numbers and the town, since last Sunday night, has been practically in the possession of landing parties from French and Spanish cruisers. The first shots were fired by the Moors. The 50 Frenchmen responded with a bomb, charge and the bombardment of the vessel with melnite shells. The Frenchmen had six six on wounded, but no one killed. No European residents were hurt. The occupation of Casa Blanca is a direct outcome of the native uprising which resulted in the killing last week of eight Europeans at Casa Blanca. Both France and Spain are hurrying other warships, with troops and marines on board, to various points on the Moroccan coast for the protection of foreigners. Under the terms of the Algeciras convention these two powers are charged with the policing of the seaports of Morocco. News of the fighting at Casa Blanca was brought here by the steamer Anatole. On Saturday night the French naval officer in command informed the Moorish authorities that he was going to land a force for the protection of the French consul. Authorization to do so was given. The force went ashore Sunday morning. The Frenchmen were no sooner on the beach than they were fired upon by Moorish soldiers, and in this first encounter the French force sustained all its casualties. The marines killed 150 Moors. The Frenchmen fought their way to their consulate and then signaled the cruiser Gallice to bombard the native quarter. The Gallice at once opened up on the Moors. She was joined at 11 o'clock by the French cruiser Du Chayla, and both vessels fired until 2,000 rounds of ammunition had been expended. This fire is said to have been disastrous to the Arabs. The battery on a fort at the mouth of the river of French cruisers, but was quickly silenced. A second French landing party went ashore and joined the first party at the consulate. A third party from a Spanish cruiser was landed and occupied the Spanish consulate. The European quarters was not damaged. FOUR KILLED IN A WRECK Passenger Train Was Sideswiped by a Coal Car—25 Persons Were Injured. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Four persons were killed and 25 injured in a railroad wreck on the Buffalo & Allegeny division of the Pennsylvania railroad at Kelly, about 35 miles from this city. The wrecked train was the Tittsville express which left Tittsville, Pa., for this city Tuesday morning. While passing through Kelly the train was sideswiped by a gondola coal car and the engine, tender, baggage and express cars and three coaches were derailed. The dead: Mrs. Alonzo Huff and male infant, of Johnstown, Pa. George Cochran, of Rimesburg, Pa. M. B. Irwin, of Oakmont, Pa., engineer of the passenger train. The gondola car was loaded with coal and had broken away onto the main track. The passenger train, running at about 60 miles an hour, came around a curve and before the speed could be reduced struck the gondola. The engine was thrown 30 feet from the track and landed on its side. Engineer Irwin was caught beneath the engine. The tender was likewise turned over and the cars broken and battered, were strewn along the track on their sides. Most of the injured were in the second day coach. The majority of these were cut by glass and received bruises in the tumbling over of the cars. When the heavily loaded gondola car struck the engine it scraped the cab and upon coming in contact with the first car the entire roof was ripped off. The car tipped towards the bank of the Allegheny river and the occupants, who were mostly men and boys, rolled out of the top of the car. With the exception of bruises none of the passengers in this car was seriously injured. The dead and injured among the passengers were in the second day coach. It was in this car that Mrs. Hunt was her daughters, and infant, was riding. Three Trainmen Killed. Washington, D.

TAYLOR CHAMPION Bicycle Rider of the World—His Recent Great Success in Europe, Etc. New York City.—Major Taylor, the world-famous cyclist, who is now riding in Europe, has demonstrated the fact that he is far from being a back number. Three years ago he retired from the track because of the continued American prejudice. He had a contract to ride in France, but cancelled it and returned home, because McFarland, Kramer and a number of American riders had planned to do some more of their famous combination trickery in a great international meeting. Major Taylor was willing to meet any man in the world in a spe- clal match race. He met and defeated the champion of every country while he was in Europe, and then McFarland and Lawson went to Australia from here and challenged him. In one race he got him in a pocket and run him up the bank. In his attempt to go around, they fouled him, throwing him over the fence and injuring him severely. When he recovered, several weeks later, to prove that he was their master, he rode both of them special match races and defeated them. Then he refused to ride any more races and returned to America, and retired from the tracks, and for breaking his contract he was sued for $10,000 by the French syndicate. The case remained in court several years, and was settled this year by Mr. Taylor agreeing to return to Paris and ride. Since being there he has broken the world's record and defeated all comers. It simply proves that if a man takes good care of himself that he is good for many years in athletics. Little Major Taylor is a most remarkable little man, and when he out riding the public quit attending bicycle races and it soon died out. Palmer-Christian Marriage.

For further information The Original Hair Growers We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours With TRADE MARK (Registered) KINK·INE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the hair. Kink-iine 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, curses 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-iine, 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-six bottle of Kink-iine, price 35 cents, one cake of Kink-iine Soap, the best Shampoo and Toilet Soap in the world, price 2 cents, both for only 50 cents, or six bottles and six cakes of soap for $3.00.

FORAKER PRAISED! Splendid baiconist Principles and Strong Anti-Taft Resolu- tions—The Ohio Afro- American League and Officers. action at all times) most enthusiastic and successfull raco conference ever held in Ohio, certatnly 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 mach, of course, to do with this, Nearly 100 prom! nent Afro-American ministers, busi ness and professional men, republl- ean leaders from the different parts of Ohio met in a state conference at the request of the editor of The Ga- zette, defined thelr position in the pending presidential contest between Senator Foraker and Secretary Taft and served notice upon the secretary and his friends that neither Taft nor Roosevelt,, nor anyone the latter sup. ports, will recetve the support of the Afro-American voters of Ohio, who are 40,000 strong. Prosident Roose: velt was both condemned and de- nounced, and Senator Foraker was commended and indorsed in the most glowing terms. The strongest lan- guage was used in denouncing the chief executive, the delegates were thoroughly in accord with the resolu- tions and they were adopted without a dissenting vote, The committee was made up as follows: Rey. J. M. Gil mere, chairman; Hon, Harry C. smith, Cleveland; Hon. C. L. Max well, Xenia; Rey. E. L. Gilliam, Co. lumbus; Waiter 8. Thomas, Colum: bus; Prot. W. P. Dabney, Cincnnatt; Rev. W. 0.

Secretary of War Taft dla not escape criticism and was re- ferred to a3 the instrument of the president. “Foraker first, last’ and all tne time,” and dettance 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 pass- word 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 Ga- rette, and vr. Wren and Mr. Poston were mado secretary and assistant respectively. While the committee on resolutions were out, addresses were made by delegates and others present. Among this nutaber were: Rev. C. S. Williams, of Washington C. H.; Messrs. Riggs, Smith, Talbert, Attorney N. B. Mcrshail, of Washing: ton, D. C., and Gilchrist Stewart, of New York City. When the committee fetrned and reported the following splendid declaration of principles: anti-Taft resolutions, and provided for a permanent organization known as the Ohio Afro-American league, he wildest cheering and enthusiastic acclaim was heard for a block. Declaration of Principles. “We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolu- ment. “As republicans, we demand and in- ist that equal and exact Justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the sreat body politic. “As loyal and faithful members of he republican, party, we have made t possible for vietory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, with- jut any resultant advantages to our- elves. : “We are as loyal and ai true today 38 ever, but have grown tired of be- ng considered as pawns in the great gaine of party politics and are deter- mined to call a Ralt. “The presidential embrogiio in Mhio affords us the opportunity of an- jouncing to the world our convictions and alisaing our forces for a trium- jhant campaign against the combined urmies of hatred, prejudice and in- iiference toward us within the party anks. “President Roosevelt has not been iniformly just and square in his deal- ngs with the Afro-American and can- jot_be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the jouth wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favor. te uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. if he was proud of the fact that they fought © keep our forbears in servile bond- \e and shoot to death the glorious mblem of our country, the stars and tripes, he is not ina position to ‘ecommend to loyal Americans a can- iidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. “We are faithful to our friends and lefenders.

Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the ‘mmortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thou- sands of others who suffered in our pehalf; and we know that not one of hem, tf-called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to dis- solve the Union and against human freedom. “We are for Senator Foraker! for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, re- election to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to ‘stand pat” whenever any individual, slass or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public ife, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshippers. a the most profound regard und veusration for the late Hon.

While we are aware of te fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also belleve that conditions and Yotes will bring about his defeat if nominated. We have reached that point’ where we would preter to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted of- fice a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principlos of tho grand republican party. “We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain iMen- tified with the republican party ag firm beilevors in its principles, and active workers for ita success, giving to it our numerical support without whioh, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national slections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding star- chamber sessions, selecting candl- wates, deciding questions, ete., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shail no longer be submitted to us, but Instead thereof we demand the full recoguition in all the counctis of the party that our numbers and in- telligence represent, Signed: "C.

Taft asa republican presidential candi- date, for his speeches condoning con- stitutional violations, notwithstandiag the special plank In the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, courage, intes- rity, and because his indorsement of the’ dismissal without trial of 137 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray In the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weak negs and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conserva- tlsm and justice which should char- acterize an aspirant for thu greatest honor of our party and nation, Furthermore, Be it resolved, that wo call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to joln in our protest and warning to all republicans who sup- port the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything fat this time, that they are thus for: Ieiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C.

Amazing Extent. Spain, only about 35 per cent. can “read and write; another two and one- half per eat. of the population can ead without belng able to write, but the remaining 62% per cent. are ab- Solute illiterates. Inthe south of Spain it is impossible to ge: a serv- ant who can read and write, and Many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed. ‘They bring abun ‘dle of letters to a house and the owner looks through them and takes those which are (or which he thinks are) addressed to him, The Spanish Postmen are not paid by the state: the recipient of the letters have 0 Femunerate them acccrdiug to the Amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addressee at least one cent. It Is a joke among the easy-going Spantards that he who treats the postmen best receives the [Most letters—whether they are ia: ‘ended for him or not, THE NEW YORK LIFE’S PROGRAM, Economy, Publicity and the Paramount Aditerest ef Pciloyholdere, President Kingsley, of the New York Life Insurance Company, says, fn an address to the policyholders, that his plan of administration in- volves these points: “First: Strict economy; second, the widest, fairest and futlest pubite- ty; third, the continuance of the New York Life as a world-wide institution; fourth, such an amount of new husk ness under the law as we can secure While practicing intelligent economy, and enforcing the idea that the inter- est of the policy-holder is paramount.” Gikaa aamceien: | The new phonograph had just ar- rived, and in her husband's absence, Mrs. Jones thought she would give her Parrot a treat, so she set the machine working on a record of “In Old Ma- arid,” sung by Mr. Jones in his best style, At the very first bar Polly opened her eyes in surprise, and rocked her- self to and fro in deep and speechless wonder, She was evidently thinking deeply, and her excitement was intense. She cocked her head on one side, with an expression that indicated interested conjecture, and irritation at not ar- riving at a satisfactory conclusion. As the song finished, an iden dawned upon her “Well,” said Mrs. Jones with: pride, “what do you think of that, Polly?” ‘Then the bird found words: "Great Seot!” she shricked. “You've got the old man boxed up this time.” Gan aie i ieee. Everything, even a magnificent chureb, must be regarded from the point of view of the beholler. A Lon don paper says that two country girls who acted as if they might be enjoy. ing a holiday from domestic service were observed walking down the aisles of St. Paul's Cathedral. Under the great dome one of them stood and gazed around her with an alr of such wonder that a spectator might ‘well suppose that she was awestruck by her solemn sufroundings. But when she spoke, the idea was disst- pated. "Oh, Sarah,” she exclaimed, “wouldn't this place take a long time to sweep?” All in Cold Storage. An Oregon attorney, representing a client whose title to a certain cold storage plant was under fire, closed an able argument before the Oregon Supreme court recently with the fol- lowing bit of pathos: “Your honor, there is more resting upon your de. cision than this cold storage plant: a human life is at stake. My client's Iife's efforts are in this cold storage; his life's blood fs in this coid storage; his body and soul are wrapped up in this cold storage.”—Law Notes. Svidantiy Needed Bunt. “The late Gen, Thomas H. Ruger,” said a Stamford man, “was, like many army officers, an authority on good cooking, but he detested rank, high cheese. At a dinner he said that a very rank cheese was once left at his headquarters to be called for, and aft- er it had remained unclaimed two days he posted, this notice: “If the cheese sent here addressed to Private Jones is not called for in two days it will be shot! ” SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over. “When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and bil fousness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. “I gayg up coffee entirely and the re- sult has been that I have been entire: ly relieved of all my stomach and ner. ‘Yous trouble. “My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now, and with- out coffee in the house for # years, we are all well. “A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do any. thing at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to ie dows for the rest of the day. “At last I persuaded her to stop @rinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work. can sit for a whole day and mend and can Sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trou- die. “I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in tte place” “There's a Reason.” ‘Look in pkg. for the famous little book “The Road to Wellville.” MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY. “Recognized as Such Over Almest All the World. Why does nearly all the civilized world wash clothes on Monday? What ‘has Monday to do with washing? It 'was originally the moon's day and ‘was sacred to the queen of night, I read in a schoolboy's history that ‘the Pilgrims landed on Monday and ‘the good women immediately set about washing the clothes that had ‘been soiled on the trip over. We ‘might judge from that alleged fact that no washing was done aboard ship; yet the finest place for such necessary work of sanitation and dlessedness is out at sea where there is plenty of water and nearly al. ways a drying wind. ‘The voyage of the little Mayflower lasted 63 days, I believe, and as near- ly as we can now reckon the landing was made at Plymouth Rock on a Monday, though some historians in- sist on Friday.

In- ‘famed--tircak ay Caaieun: “Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with differ ent remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors Under thelr treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day ft would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and bad- ly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cutlcura a trial. When I had used the frst box of Cutt cura Ointment there was a great im provement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured.

A Boston lawyer, who brought his wit from his mative Dublin, while cross-examining the plaintiff in a di- Yoree trial, brought forth the follow. ing: “You wish to divorce this woman because she drinks?” “Yes, sir.” “Do you drink yourself?" “That's my business!”—angrity. Whereupon the unmoved lawyer asked: “Have you any other business?"— Bverybody’s, A Little Debt for Husband.
