TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 19. PROPER THING IN DRESS MUSHROOM BRIMMED HAT OF BLUE FELT THE VOGUE OF STRIPES. HAT OF "EVEQUE" FELT IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH TWENTY-FIFTH PROPER IN MUSHROOM BRIMMED OF BLUE FELT THE VOGUE OF STRIPES. Much of our interest is now centered in frills, and here I find myself again conceitedly exulting in my successful knack of prophecy. You may be declived in the cost of a coat and skirt, but the frills are of a more telltale disposition, and the eyes of the least expert can detect at once which are made of fine muslin or batiste, and which of mercerized lawn or any of the cheaper sort of fabrics which can be called upon to do such service. A very superior specimen has a hand-embroidered center plait, flanked on either side with a lace frill; and a very attractive model has an insertion of lace down the center of the front, a plaited lawn frill on either side being edged with lace, while the collar hand is of transparent lace, and the base of this is finished with a narrow black tie. Doubtless we shall suffer considerably from the machinations of the inexperienced or willfully wicked washerwoman, and those who are going to indulge themselves in frills of fine quality had best set about it at once to find a successful clear starcher. And having discovered her, teach her how not to starch. It seems quite right and proper that these dainty-laced decorations of tuckers and rufflings should accompany the beaver and panne hats, trimmed with feathers and well allied to velvet gowns, they may pass for what we should have called in the early days of the century "brave array." I confess myself much in love with the notion of the plain dress which looks simple, with an elaborate shirt and frillings and ruffles, and crowded with a very expensive hat with beautiful feathers upon it. And, talking of beautiful feathers, I would refer once more to those new elaborations of the ostrich feather. The manufacturers have contrived now to extend the length of their fronds, so that they have a shaggy appearance, and they are as delightful as attractive as novel. Indeed, by the side of them the ordinary ostrich feather, even if it be of very good quality, seems quite uninteresting. Sometimes these feathers are shaded, two dark colors being most successfully used, such as peacock blue and brown, and two tones of one color will also do good service. There is a great rage for the satin hat, and this shares favor with the hat of silks. An excellent model which is enjoying much favor having the brim of white silk, bound with brown velvet, and the crown very full and large and made entirely of brown velvet; innocent of any trimming whatsoever, and somewhat in the old beef-eater shape, is this crown. The striped tweeds and the striped velvets are no longer threatening—they have arrived. A coat and skirt of dark blue and black velveteen I met recently looked extremely well under the influence of a dark blue velvet hat with masses of black wings at one side, and over this fell a veil of dark blue soft chenille net. I have by no means exhausted my affection for veils, and wish they were more general. They lend special grace to the head and exercise a benign influence on the extravagances of the millinery. A short brown tweed skirt and a brown velvet coat and a dark purple hat with a purple THE GAZETTE veil over it achieves a charming effect, and again I may quote as being particularly admirable a dress of mole-gray, with a mole-gray hat and a mole-gray veil, with blue Japanese embroidery forming the low double-breasted waistcoat, which was cut in a V at the top to exhibit the indispensable jabot frill of muslin. A CHARMING DRESS One would have to search far to find a dress more tasty or elegant than the one pictured here. The material of which it is made is of the palest sky blue satin, cut in a sort of combination of the pinafore frock of our summer's affections and the new princess dress which is draped across the figure and opens all down the skirt slightly at one side. The under-vest is of fine white tuile illusion, encrusted with large flower motifs, L. M. B. which are embellished with little empire wreaths in blue ribbon work. To increase the princess effect the entire dress is bordered with a fine pale blue passementerie, which outlines the bretelles of the bodice, descends along the opening on one side of the skirt and borders the borders. Our artist gives a little sketch of the pretty way the fullness of the bodice is held by the stitched bands rising back and front, centered by an oval embroidered motif in the shape of a buckle. The sleeves are of net, like the vest, and are finished with a twist of blue satin ribbon and flounces of valenciennes. Costly Dog Collars. Five hundred and fifty pounds was paid by a nobleman at the beginning of the eleighteenth century for a dog collar of gold. A collar of silver, with four small diamonds, costing 200 guineas, was sold to a society lady for her pet dog. It is fashionable in France to put gold bracelets studded with jewels on the forelegs of poodles. The plain gold collars with jewelled settings cost no less than £20, while the jeweled collars run to £100. The bracelets run from £2 to £70 to £100. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1907. Of Republican Clubs—Roosevelt Responsible for the Financial Stringency—Many Important Subjects Treated Washington, D. C.—Senator Foraker made his formal bow to the country last Saturday evening as a candidate for the republican presidential nomination by accepting the endorsement tendered to him by the advisory and executive committees of the Ohio League of Republican clubs at their meeting in Columbus on November 20. The league also indorsed Mr. Foraker for re-election to the senate, but he lays this endorsement aside. His rejection of it, however, is concluded in such phraseology that by some politicians it may not be construed as absolutely irrevocable. Yet it is beyond question that he has subordinated it clearly and definitely to his presidential candidacy. The senator's announcement of his entry into the race for the executive succession is concluding. But he has sent to Conrad J. Mattert, vice president of the league, and the presiding officer at the committees' recent meeting. This has been and will be most pleasing news to the thousands of loyal Afro-Americans, particularly those in the south, who will now make the fight for their lives to send as many of their number as possible to the national republican convention next year, and thus materially aid the candidacy of our great and good friend, THE senator. Senator Foraker's Letter. "The Hon. Conrad J. Mattert, Vice President Ohio Republican League, DEKALB 101." "Dear Sir—I write to acknowledge the letter of your letter to the 224 inst. with copy inclosed, as stated, of the resolutions adopted by the advisory and executive committees of the Ohio Republican League of clubs at a joint meeting held at the Nell house in Columbus November 20 denouncing the proposition that I should be 'eliminated' from public life and relegated to private citizenship because in the discharge of my duties as a member have been unable to three instances, President Roosevelt and pledging their support as a candidate for re-election, to be my own successor, and also declaring that I am their choice as a candidate for the presidency. "I am informed that there were 98 members of the committee out of a total membership of 105 present in person or by proxy, and that the resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote and with much enthusiasm. The names and addresses of those present, in person or by proxy, and that the resolutions were adopted, and that among these representatives are many who have for years been well known to the whole state as prominent leaders of the republican party. I would not be insensible to such a mark of confidence and esteem if I could, and I could not be if I would. But I do not want to even appear to be a candidate for two offices at the same time, and therefore forego the double vote of the presidential precondition to accept the support for the presidential candidacy which the committees have so generously tendered. The Senator Gratified. "Nevertheless, I want to say that, far beyond anything personal to myself, I am gratified by the action taken, because it is a flat rebuke to the suggestion that the office of United States senator is to be stripped of all the real honor attached to it by making its incumbent a mere agent to register the decree of somebody else instead of the representative of a state charged with the constitutional duty of legislating, according to his best judgment, for the welfare of this great nation, accountable to his constituency for his acts and votes, but to nobody else. I regard it of far greater importance to uphold and protect the dignity and the senatorial office than that any particular man should be chosen to fill it. "As our fathers created it, the places is one of the most important in the government, and any man might well feel highly honored to hold it, but if it is to be degraded into a mere agency no self-respecting man can desire to hold it. I not only stand for the broad principles involved, but also stand ready to submit to my constituents for the judgment they only my action in the three instances that I am unable to agree with the president, but entire record. I may have made mistakes, but no speech, or vote or other act will be found that was not in accordance with a conscientious judgment formed by the aid of the best light at the time obtainable. My action on the question of joint statehood and in the Brownville matter your committee have approved, as I believe the great majority of republicans do everywhere. There are doubtless yet the rate bill, but if the assasinates with which my mail is filled, coming to them do from every section of the country, are not misleading, the number of these critics is rapidly diminishing. Its Many Defects. "In the debates on that measure I took pains to point out that if the government took upon itself the duty and responsibility of making rates it would of necessity have to determine not only how much a railroad should be allowed to make, but also how much it should be allowed to spend—how much for operation, for extensions, for equipment, and for every other item of necessary expenditure, all of which it is impossible for a government to do successfully and satisfactorily, and that the result would inevitably be that just at the time when a rapidly increasing business for the road was making it necessary for them to raise hundreds of millions annually for increasing their tracks, cars and general facilities we would impair, the roads, the roads, the roads, the roads, and thereby not only make it impossible for the roads to sell the additional securities necessary for such purposes, but lead many of the holders of them, both at home and abroad, to dispose of what were already outstanding, and that in consequence the market would be so largely oversupplied that their values would shrink, dragging down all kinds of securities with them until panic and disaster would take the place of what you told you so, is always ungrateful, but it is, I trust, permissible to point out that from the day since the rate bill passed, the trend has been in the direction predicted, and while other things have contributed, that measure has a full share of responsibility for the unhappy financial and industrial conditions with which we have been overtaken. While there should be sufficient supervision and regulation of interstate commerce, and the car industry, we have engaged therein, it will become hard and more manifest as time passes and results are developed that this supervision must be safe and conservative—consistent with the constitution and with sound common sense. Moral Standing High. "The moral standing of the business men of this country has always been high. It was never so high as it is now. There is consequently less occasion than ever before to restrict commercial freedom by statutory management and surveillance that is apparently framed on the theory that all men are criminals. Such legislation hampers enterprise, hurts business activity,阻拦 civilization, prohibits the enarmon in all legislation, and the enforcement of the laws should be left to the appropriate tribunals, without unauthorized interference from any source, and above all things there should be no toleration of the idea that our constitution has become in part a misfit and obsolete, and that it must be changed and vitalized by judicial interpretation or by the mere assertion of the law, which may for the moment be desired, although manifestly unauthorized by its provisions. "From the beginning of our government our constitution has been recognized by all the world as one of the wisest and most nearly perfect organized laws ever framed. Under it we have the right to be free from people ever has. We should be slow to condemn it or to find fault with it, but if we find it inadequate, or that for any reason it should be changed, it contains a provision in accordance with which we can amend it. No one should be forced to change in any other manner. To change it in any other way would be the beginning of the end. In my opinion, no amendments are necessary to enable the government to effectually exercise all of its powers, and that no additional powers are necessary to the proper supranational regulation of every matter that is the legitimate subject of legislation. Takes Up the Tariff. "I note also that the committees refer to the republican policy of a protective tariff and to the enforcement of the laws for the protection of all the rights of citizenship. At another time I may take occasion to speak on these subjects at some length, but it is sufficient for present purposes to remark that with our surplus revenue diminishing and our enormous expenditures increasing, it would be like adding the last grain of sand to unleashed water under the present tariff laws we have had the greatest prosperity any country has ever enjoyed and it has been because of the strength thus given us that we have stood up as well as we have under the decline in values amounting to billions of dollars that has at last brought business depression to employers and idleness to thousands of employees. It is to the beneficent results of the policy as expressed in the Dingley law that we must look for one of the necessary qualities. There will doubtless come a time when changes in that law can be made to advantage, but that time is not now. So far as the protection of the equal rights of citizenship is concerned, my views are well known. When the republican party falters in that high duty it will fail of government and of power and it will deserve defeat. What Lincoln and Grant and the great men of their day did was not done in vain. Their achievements will endure and every republican who is a member of the party will see their deeds should be proud to uphold their work. "When the national committee shall have issued the call for the next national republican convention I shall, as heretofore announced, formally request the state central committee to embody in its call for the next state convention a requirement that all delegates to that convention shall be authorized a direct elector of the state, at duly authorized primary elections held in accordance with the statutes applicable thereto. Bishop Turner Married Again Bishop Turner Married Again. Atlanta, Ga.—Bishop H. M. Turner, of the African Methodist church, was married here Wednesday night to maternal sister, and was formally the bishop's secretary and had secured a divorce from her husband, Rev Powell, last May. At the time the divorce was obtained it was reported Bishop Turner contemplated making Laura Lemon his wife. Bishop Gaines brought the matter to the attention of the council of bishops at its meeting in June. After an investigation Bishop Turner was notified by the council of bishops that the council be countenanced by the African Methodist church. Nothing further was heard of the matter until the announcement of the marriage.

"A HOT TIME" Over the Brownsville Matter Coming in the Senate. SENATOR FORAKER Will Make an Ideal President Will Instill New and Better Life in the Republican Party and Country. The committee on military affairs met the 18th inst. Certain witnesses had been suggested for summons ten days ago, but the chairman had not ordered the summons issued. Upon being shown in no unceaseable terms the witnesses must be had, the order was issued and Senator Foraker adjourned until Monday, the 25th few witnesses were heard last week and the investigation practically closed. Senator Foraker is now preparing his report for the senate. It is said that the vote will be 7 to 5. The four democrats on the committee and Senators Warren, of Wyoming, Warner, of Missouri, and Lodge, of Massachusetts, republicans, will vote to approve the report, to please President Roosevelt and Secretary Tatt, while the other four members of the committee, republicans, will support Senator Foraker's minority report. When it is presented, there will be "a hot time" in the senate, rest assured. It will be worth going thousands of miles to hear the statements of the man whom Roosevelt, Tatt and Burton seek to eliminate from public life because of his defense of our outraged "Brownsville" soldiers, "discharged without honor." A White Friend and Senator Foraker. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 20, 1907. Mear Dear Harry: I was delighted to read in the morning paper that Senator Foraker had been indorsed by some leading republicans for the senate and the presidential nomination. His record has been brilliant in useful achievements and he is prominently worthy of the highest honors within the gift of the American people. He has shown courage with moderation, learning with dignity and an equipose scarcely equalled among his compere. My best wishes are with you in the splendid fight that you have waged in his behalf and I shall be greatly pleased to learn of its successful frultion. Very sincerely yours, (ATTY.) G. E.

All communications should be addressed: BARRY C. SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio ALLEGRADE PRINTING YEAR 1915 COUNCIL VILLAGE 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 Mr. Dock A. Hart, superintendent of the National Baptist Publishing board's printing plant and business manager of the Globe Publishing Co. of Nashville, Tenn., has been mentioned for secretary of the A. M. E. Church Sunday School union by the Hopkinsville (Ky.) Morning News, the Louisville (Ky.) Courler-Journal and the Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. The editor of The Gazette takes pleasure in "seconding the motion," accepting Mr. Hart's candidacy on the recommendation of its esteemed conferrers, Editor Phil H. Brown (a native Ohioan), the News, and Editor J. O. Battle, of the Globe. It was but a few years ago that Tom Fleming openly supported Hubbell, the democratic candidate for the council in ward 12, and openly consorted politically with Mayor Tom's democratic cohorts. For this and other things he was expelled from the Twelfth Ward Afro-American Republican club, of which the editor of The Gazette was president. Then again, Tom bolted the nomination of the Afro-American candidate for the legislature on the republican ticket, two years ago this fall. No wonder he ran so poorly at the recent election, as a candidate for councilman-at-large. He really had no business on the republican ticket and would not have been nominated if our people had had anything to say about it. But "Boss Bill" Crawford (white) dictated the nomination and of course made Fleming's defeat doubly sure. He was the worst defeated republican candidate our people of this community have ever furnished, if memory serves us correctly. Tom had better stick to his barber shop. He will have more success than in politics. MORE DUPLICITY. Comparing the vote of two years ago and that of this fall is like comparing the heights of a six and a nine story building. More than 90,000 votes were registered just prior to the recent election—about 20,000 more than two years ago. There was, proportionately, practically the same difference in the vote cast this fall and that two years ago. Therefore there is just about as much sense and justice in a comparison of the vote this fall and that of two years ago as there would be in the claim that a six story building was as high as a nine story building, the stories of both being of the same height. No one should be misled or fooled by a comparison of the votes cast in any precinct or ward in the two elections referred to; or the statement that the small Burton pluralities received at the recent election indicated his support upon the part of the great masses of Afro-Americans in the wards and precincts referred to. BECAUSE OF THE LARGELY INCREASED VOTE this year in the wards and precincts in question, as well as others, Burton's small pluralities ought to have been and would have been, had he received the united Afro-American support, as claimed, from four to six times as large as they were. Therefore, we repeat, no one should be misled by the juggling of figures bearing upon the local election this fall, with which some people are entertaining themselves these days. It is mighty poor consolation, however, even to them. Burton and Tom Fleming were defeated, along with others on the republican ticket, worse than any other candidates of the party in recent years when the LARGELY INCREASED VOTE at the recent election is considered. AS TO THE PRESIDENT'S MES SAGE. Seven or eight states of this union have enacted DISFRANCHIEMENT LAWS nullifying, as far as the states in question are concerned, a section of the United State constitution (the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1907. fundamental law of the land), and disfranchising millions of voters, black and white—a very, very dangerous precedent indeed from a citizen rights view-point. It is an attack upon the very vitals of the government. MOB VIOLENCE, particularly lynching, is still rampant throughout the south, with more or less of it each year in the north. So much and such general lawlessness is a serious menace to the safety of this country. DISCRIMINATION upon public carriers ("Jim Crow" cars) against interstate passengers on account of race or color, or both, is almost as important a matter from a citizen rights view-point as mob violence or lynching. Disfranchisement and mob violence, if not all three, ought to be more important in the eye of the chief executive of this nation than any of the subjects treated by President Roosevelt in his message, submitted to congress on Monday last, and yet no attention at all was paid to any one of them. The first, because it has to do directly with citizen rights, is unquestionably the most serious as well as the most important matter that engage the attention of the chief executive of this nation, and yet he has not a word, thought or statement for it at this time, or any other since he has been president, if memory serves us correctly. If this fact does anything at all it emphasizes the necessity of such a man in the presidential chair as are republicans of the "old school" like Senator Joseph Benson Foraker—me to whom the matter of human rights, life and liberty has a proper significance, that overshadows completely all consideration of the many matters of importance treated at great length as a rule by nearly all the presidents (particularly Roosevelt) since Lincoln's day, with the possible exception of President Grant. SENATOR FORAKER'S CANDIDACY. Senator Foraker's letter announcing his candidacy for the republican presidential nomination next year and accepting the proffered support of the Ohio League of Republican clubs, is a remarkable document in several respects. First, because of the clearness and satisfactory way his three differences with the president are set forth, particularly the one having relation to the railroad rate bill; and, secondly, as the result of a just and merited criticism of the president because of his impolitic treatment, not only of men and measures, but of business interests of the country, which undoubtedly had more or less to do with the financial stringency that has oppressed the people for many weeks past. Not the least of its many excellent features are his reference to the constitution and the government's power to exercise all of its powers under the same, which are ample for all purposes. The senator's position on the tariff and citizen rights has been stated repeatedly at length in recent years, and is so well known that it was hardly necessary for him to say that he would speak on these subjects at another time. The subject of citizen rights, however, will get an even more thorough albeit that it did last winter, when the Brownsville matter is again taken up in the U. S. senate in the very near future. Our people the country over, particularly those in the south, have an opportunity presented to them in the candidacy of Senator Foraker that they have been begging for for many months. As a nomination is equivalent to an election, and as nothing in the present day life of this nation could possibly happen that would have the influence for good upon the progress of the race that Senator Foraker's elevation to the presidency would have, it is a matter of vital concern that we, the country over, DO everything in our power in season and out from now on until the national convention meets next year in Kansas City, to promote his candidacy. This feeling and such determination among Afro-Americans we believe to be general. Visiting Knights of Pythias Smithfield, O.—The trustees and J. M. entertainment thanksgiving was well attended.

Praise for the Loyal and Manly Afro-Americans of Cleveland Who "Remembered Brownsville." The Nashville Clarion affirms: "Isolate the Negroes in schools and the Negro schools suffer by comparison with the schools for whites. Isolate Negroes on the railroad trains and the schools for whites, particularly increased. Isolate Negroes in and improvements by the cities reach their wards last. It is evident that the better policy for the race is to keep in the general process so far as it is able to consistently do so. The N. Y. Age need not expect intelligent people of either race to think highly of its concern about 'all the rights of our people,' while it seeks to subvert such rights to what it may regard as its own personal interests, by endeavoring to compromise the manhood and intelligence of the race through not only asking them to submit, but by attempting to explain away the injustices of the Roosevelt administration.—Ex. Had Mr. Burton won he would have been the acknowledged leader in northern Ohio. He would either have been a dangerous aspirant for the senatorial toga now being worn by Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio, or he would have been able to dictate his successor. He lost, thanks to the votes of the colored citizens who remembered Brownsville and had not forgotten the militaristic unitingsting Ohio in the United States senate.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. A just and crushing rebuke to President Roosevelt for his persistent interference in local affairs was the defeat of Theodore E. Burton, special candidate of Roosevelt for mayor of Cleveland, by Tom L. Johnson, the broad-gauged democratic mayor. Burton's defeat is also regarded as a personal victory for Senator Foraker, since he (Burton) made known to a group of colored voters that, in the event of a successful support Senator Foraker for another term in the United States senate.—Ex. It does not require a prophet to see that the 40,000 Negro votes in Ohio are with Senator Foraker, a friend of that race. Every Negro newspaper that comes to this office (and they are legions) is supporting the senior senator of Ohio. The Negro pulpit of all denominations in Ohio is Forakerized. We think the northern Negro would be recruit to his trust and unworthy of public confidence if he fails to recognize the claims of the senior senator of Ohio. The time has come when the slave vote throw off the political slave vote and measures, irrespective of parties. He must learn to do a little thinking for himself.—Jackson (Tenn.) Christian Index. The colored press of the country express general satisfaction that Hon. Harry C. Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, won out in his fight against Theodore Burton, the administration's candidate for mayor. The victory of Tom Johnson is welcomed not so much than Burton, but because the election will probably eliminate the leader of opposition to Foraker in the most populous city in Ohio. In going outside of the party to rebuke Roosevelt for his actions in the Brownsville affair the Negro voters of Cleveland must be done those discharged as soldiers" seemed to have been their slogan and they have won out. They have won more than the local fight, for they served notice that the Negro of the north will not prove traitor to the who, whose face of opposition from the most powerful party dared to speak in behalf of and fight for justice to members of our race—Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. The colored voters of Cleveland, O., are making a manly fight for Senator Foraker in the municipal campaign. Theodore Burton is the republican candidate for mayor of the city, but he has expressed himself as being opposed to the re-election to the United States Senate because of this fact the colored voters largely led by Hon. Harry C. Smith and the preachers have bolted the standard of Mr. Burton and are kicking him with all their feet. In the colored man's mind the opposing candidate who is a democrat is lost sight of and the issue so far as the Negro is concerned. Theodore Burton and Senator Foraker, It is rumored that President Roosevelt, knowing Mr. Burton's dislike for Senator Foraker and being of the same mind himself toward the senator, all on account of the Brownies affair, is lending the weight of his administration for the election of Burton. And the senator, man (or one who represents him) of the campaign committee offered to buy the influence and support of two of the leading colored preachers—News, Prince and Bailey. But the preachers rejected his overtures with scorn and have exposed the attempted transac-tion of the senator, papers. This has set the fires to burning white heat and the world is watching Cleveland and the two racers, Burton and Foraker—Mobile (Ala.) Press. The defeat of Congressman Theodore E. Burton in the mayoralty fight in Cleveland, O. is not only a defeat of Mr. Burton, but a serious blow to the president and Secretary Taft in their efforts to eliminate Senator J. B. Foraker from public life. For months it had been the boast of the Taft foe that he had elected mayor of Cleveland and that Mr. Foraker would be on the road to defeat. But in their calculations they did not place the loyal Negroes as an effective asset against Mr. Burton. They did not feel that, even at this late day, the colored voters would vote for Tom L. Johnson, the democratic republican for mayor, and against the republican made the mistake that has been made by believing that the men of color soon forget a great injustice and their friends. But the colored voters of Cleveland remembered the wrong done the colored soldiers at Brownville and the valiant fight Senator Foraker for them and the men who were trying to defeat him in defeat. Leading in this battle to victory the right and crush out the wrong was Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, and to him more than any other man in the country is due the defeat of Mr. Burton. We therefore congratulate Editor Smith upon his achievement, which we consider the most helpful single effort made by a man in race in the last decade. You may say, that no question is settled until it is settled right. And as long as the wrong against the colored soldiers remains unrighted, just so long will Brownville be remembered and the men who have tried to justify it stung the deserved defeat. A larger question rises: whether Brownville will be remembered. Truly, this new ghost of Banquo will not down—Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. HEAD OF SUGAR TRUST DIES. HEAD OF SUGAR TRUST DIES. HENRY O. HAVEMEYER, MULTI MILLIONIARE, PASSES AWAY. He was 60 Years of Age and Acquired Notoriety Some Years Ago by Refusing to Testify Before a Congressional Committee. New York City.—Henry O. Haveneyer, president of the American Sugar Refining Co., died Wednesday at his country home at Commack, Long Island, of heart failure following an attack of acute indigestion on his return to the use of oxygen to prolong life. Was had a few hours before the end. The president of the so-called sugar trust went to Commack on November 27 with his wife to spend Thanksgiving gunning on his private preserve. Arose early Thursday and spent nearly an hour on the country after game. Late in the day he returned to his home and ate a hearty dinner. Shortly after he was seized with violent pains and Dr. W. H. Ross, who was summoned, said that he was suffering from acute indigestion. Several physicians from New York were called the next day and remained constantly at the patient's bedside. Mr. Havemeyer was the son of the late Frederick C. Havemeyer, who, with his father, was the pioneer in sugar refining. He was born October 18, 1847, in this city, where his father and grandfather amassed a fortune in the sugar refining business. After an education in the public schools he entered the business of Havemeyer & Co. and later with Havemeyer & Elkman, in the formation of the American Sugar Refining Co. in 1887, his brother, Theodore A. Havemeyer, was elected president of the company and held the office until his death four years ago. H. O. Havemeyer succeeded his brother in the presidency. In 1897 he attracted wide attention by refusing to answer certain questions put to him by the United States senate committee which was investigating the sugar industry. He was indicted and sent to prison, a long legal fight he was freed. He earned a hard fight with the Arbuckles for the control of the sugar business and when it was over the position of his company was strengthened. His estate is said to amount to many millions of dollars and he was considered one of the wealthiest men in New York. Mr. Havemeyer, in 1883, married Louise W. Elder, who was the daughter of his partner in the sugar business. His wife and four children survive him. RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS A Notable Conclave of Prominent Men Assembles in Washington. Washington, D. C.—Prominent officers of the national government, governors of states, representatives of foreign powers, members of the senate and house of representatives and leaders in all walks of civil life in America participated Wednesday in a congressional rivers and harbors congress. Nearly 2,000 delegates, representing every state in the Union, were present. It is not expected that any definite action in promotion of the projects advocated by the congress will be taken, but it is hoped that the work of the convention will so impress the senate, now in session, as to induce it to make amendments for the improvement of the rivers and harbors of the country. It is the desire of the delegates to secure such action by the congress of the United States as will promote the commerce of America. It is not a special project that the convention has in mind for the adoption of a policy by the government, looking to the extension of the transportation facilities of the United States. On behalf of the rational administration Elihu Root, secretary of state extended to the congress hearty sympathy in the work which it had undertaken. The congress will be in session three days and the body will be ad dressed by some of the most prominent economists and economists of the United States. MANY FURNACES ARE IDLE A Great Reduction in Output During November Is Reported. Cleveland, O. — Owing to the present conditions in the financial and industrial world, unusual importance attaches to the reports of blast furnace production. The monthly statistics of the Iron Trade Review show a production for November of 1,815,224 tons, against the record of October, when 2,359,690 tons were made. The decrease of 544,466 tons does not fully represent the curtailment in progress, as the number of furnaces in blast December 1 was 227, against 314 in blast November 1. Some of the latter were active a part of November. The statistics for December will undoubtedly indicate a very much larger decrease than those for November, but this rapid blowing out of furnaces will, it is believed, hasten the time when production will be less than demand. Congressional Washington...in the senate on the 4th nearly 1,000 bills were introduced in a few hours, to other business of the House, transacted. The house was not in session.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. MEAN FLINGS AT EDITORS. Tributes by Lafcadio Hearn to Glass of Workees He Disliked. "Lafcadie Hearn, that wonderful writer, worked on newspapers in his youth," said a publisher, "and the ruthless way his studies were changed, cut and butchered was a great gweo to his heart. "In after years Hearn took a malicious joy in collecting stories about editors—editors and their superior and omniscient way with manuscript. "One of his stories was of an editor to whom a subscriber said: "I enjoyed that poem on the three ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr. Sheers; I enjoyed it immensely. You know, though, I thought it was originally written the seven ages of man? "So it was, sir; so it was," said Editor Sheers, pompously. 'Yes, the extract was originally written the seven ages of man, but I had to cut it down for the lack of space.' "Another story concerned a weather report. A reporter, discussing the weather, wrote that winter still lingered in the lap of spring. "The editor, as he read over the article, called the reporter to his desk and told him that he would cut out that sentence about winter lingering in spring; iron. He said the idea was good enough, and all that sort of thing, but it would not do to publish because the high moral tone of the paper had to be maintained in a town full of school girls." HIS TURN TO CRITICISE. Youngster Felt Called on to Manifest Disapproval of Prayer. Little John, who, at the mature age of four, has learned the Lord's Prayer, is often criticised by his sister, two years older, for slight mistakes which he cannot always avoid in offering the petition. A few Sundays ago he was taken to church for the first time. When the moment for the prayer arrived and the congregation bowed their heads John's mother took the precaution to whisper to him that he must be very quiet. "Listen," she said, "and you will hear the minister pray." This interested John at once, and his little face took on a look of serious attention, but his mother, watching him covertly, saw his expression change presently to one of surprise and disapproval. A few minutes more, and he could stand it no longer. What could this man be saying? Not a word of the prayer did he recognize as the only formula he had ever heard called by that name. "Why, mother," he exclaimed, in a tone audible over nearly half the church, "do you hear? He isn't saying it right at all!"

"The Republican league of Ohio, born in the enthusiastic devotion and patriotism of the young manhood of the republican party, pledges anew its fidelity to republican policies and doctrines which have made the republic prosperous and great. It avows its loyalty to that robust republicanism expounded by its great leaders of the past—John Sherman, Marcus A. Hanna and William McKinley—and as advocated today by their able and distinguished successor in leadership, Joseph Benson Foraker. On this occasion the general officers of the league, together with its advisory and executive committees, representing the eighty-eight counties of Ohio, in session assembled, believe it opportune to declare: CONDEMNS ELIMINATION.

"On the contrary, we believe he was right in opposing joint statehood, as he did, except on condition that a majority of the citizens of each territory should vote therefor, in which requirement the president now concurs; and we believe he was right and we thoroughly approve his action in demanding that the helpless Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth-United States infantry, who had served their country with great valor and distinction, should be given an opportunity to testify in their own defense that they were not guilty of the crime for which, on purely ex parte testimony, they had been discharged without honor. "Although one of the earliest and most earnest advocates of the policy of government supervision and regulation of interstate commerce and the railroads and other corporations engaged therein, Senator Foraker has steadfastly refused to be forced by public clamor to support measures relating to that subject that appeared to him unconstitutional and of such general character as to jeopardize the prosperity of the American people; and a comparison of the great good that has been wrought under the Elkins law, which Senator Foraker helped to frame and enact, with the bitter disappointments that have been realized under the rate bill, which he opposed, shows that there was abundant ground for difference of opinion concerning the latter measure, and strikingly illustrates the value to the whole country of such qualities in a public official.

Events, hurrying after the other are causing the thoughtful citizens of the entire country to turn a considerate creation. Joseph O'Neill, the man of the nation. No statesman of our time has had to so stand out almost distinctive and alone, in the advocacy of his conception of the right as he has stood, just in the months past, with the time and the tide then apparently, unanimously against him and threatening to politically engulh him. When the first whiffs of the wind of anti-corporation fury were being fanned, when the initiative was being given, the breeze that has grown around a cyclone away prosperity and business as well. Foraker was like the immovable and sturdy oak of the great forest. No man save him took up the cause of simple justice, the constitution and the law, when the Brownsville order was made and when soldiers of a life record for good discipline and duty were engulfed in the disgrace and dishonour in the right of even a court. To his side in the United States, he was a cyclone from Fayetteville, Tillman, who, even though strongly anti-Negro, but but acknowledge the inhumality and the brutality of this revolting outrage. Benson forisker is the few men left in the forefront of republican leadership possessing the lofty ideals which inspired the founders of the party. The fire of his cloquence, the appeal of his magnetism, the warmth of his patriotism could make this nation ablaze from Maine to Florida from New York to California, from California to Washington state and over the mountains and plains and everywhere in this Roosevelt over-ridden republic. The country is crying for a man to go forth believing in humanity, with faith in justice and confidence in all the people of his country, whether rich or poor. It is yearning for a man of courage, without excessive impetuosity and irritant temper; it is, neither south or north, afraid of any man from the Negro asks, and only asks, that he be permitted to stand before the bar of justice, under and before the constitution and the law of the land, not simply as a Negro, but as an American citizen. The southern American hopes that Foraker will restore to the republican party the faith of the fathers and snatch it from the whirlwind of rantism that has been it, for a time, from its old idle idea to Kander City (Ala.

New York City.—The extent to which the restriction of business caused by the furry in the money market late in October affected payments through the banks is shown by November bank clearings, total bank exchanges at all the cities in the United States for that month, as reported by R. G. Dun & Co., being $9,664, 88,522, a decrease of 29.2 per cent. combined with last year and 26.6 per cent. corresponding month of 1955.

"I had my complaints for over a year, night sweats all winter and no appetite. I was run-down so far that I had to sit down to do my cooking, I was so weak. "I fried many different medicines and doctors also. Nothing seemed to do me any good. The doctors wanted to operate on me. "At last I wrote to Dr. Hartman. I told him just exactly how I was, and he told me what ailed me and how I should talk to him. I did not he told me for four months, and now I am all cured. "No one can tell how thankful I am to him, as I had given up all hopes of ever getting well again. I asked the mother of six small children who depend on my support.

In locking his safe the other night prior to his going home for supper George Edgement, a paperhanger who lives at Jefferson street and Hermitage lane, Manayunk, shut the safe door. He was released and was held until released by his daughter, Edgement had been out collecting bills during the day. Returning to his office he opened his safe and placed the money in it. He then threw the door shut, catching the end of his beard in the door. In the excitement incident to his odd predicament he forgot the combination and so could not release himself. With his chin resting on the safe he was discovered about an hour after the accident by his daughter, who came to find what had delayed him. The safe was broken open by a locksmith. A.

"What expenses?" she asked. "Why, table expenses. For instance, if I had an automobile I couldn't afford to have chicken every Sunday." She laughed. "Why, you goose! If you had an automobile you could run down enough fowls to have chicken every day, to say nothing of big turkeys and nice roasting pigs. Why is it men haven't any brains?" And the next day he hustled around to the nearest dealer and ordered a racing machine. A Fascinating Game.

As a source of humor the Irish servant girl has long since fallen from her high estate, a result probably due to the better class of young women from the Emerald Isle who come here annually to help confuse the eternal "servant girl question." But now and again one of the old, naively ignorant sort turns up in a New York household, as was demonstrated the other day to a caller at a house on the West Side. The girl who responded to the bell was asked if her mistress was at home. To this inquiry she surprised the caller by putting her arms behind her back and replying in a rich brogue, as she thrust her face toward the caller: "Put th' tickets in me mouth, ma'am, an' I'll go an' see. Me hands is wet."—N. Y. Press. AS SHE HAD BEEN ORDERED. Domestic Cleared Everything Left Over Out of the Ice Box. There recently entered the service of a Cleveland family a domestic of Scandinavian origin. She had never seen a refrigerator before, and the lady of the house, after initiating her into its mysteries, instructed her never to leave anything old or left over in the ice-box, but to keep the refrigerator perfectly clean and fresh by throwing the old things away each morning. The very next day the mistress, looking out of the window, observed something peculiar in the yard. "What is that, Sophie?" she asked. "And how did it get there." "That is old ice, ma'am," was the proud response, "left over from yesterday. I trew it away lake you toll me."-Harper's Weekly. One Waiter with Sense. Man in a restaurant, happening in just as a new shift of waiters came on. And having eaten a very modest luncheon this man laid down a modest tip, to be exact, five cents. And did the waiter shy off or sniff at this nickel? He did neither, but on the contrary he seemed to regard it as an augury of good fortune that his first customer should have given him something, and— "Thank you," he said, politely, to the customer, and as he turned away he added to himself: "That's a starter."—N.

"After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.

Whenever a passenger stands on the lower step a buzzer sounds in the motorman's compartment and warns him not to start the car until the signal ceases, which it does the instant the passenger reaches the platform or the ground. Contact points are placed in the step which are brought together by the weight of the passenger. The Real Cause "No, none of the Brokeleighs were at the wedding."

There has never been any who have doubted the productivity of the soil of Western Canada, but there are sometimes found those who question the fact of its superiority. During the past season it has been shown that in grain raising qualities it possessed the very best. The late spring prevented grain being sown in many cases before the middle of May. Yet, a large percentage of that sown at that time produced excellent yields. Had it not been for the frost early in August, which visited most of the north half of the continent, there would have been a magnificent yield in every district in Western Canada. Throughout the Southern Alberta district where about 100,000 acres was sown to winter wheat the yield will be enormously large. There are vast tracts of valuable grain growing land in Western Canada that are available for homesteads, the Canadian Government giving 160 acres fee, and entry may be made by proxy, by any near relative, thus saving considerable cost to the American who may have entry made in this way. Any Canadian Government Agent will give you the particulars. Your correspondent has just received the following letter from Crick, Saskatchewan, which bears out the statement made in the first part of this letter. "Craik, Sask, Aug. 1907. "May 24th we planted a Dahla root, which we brought with us from Minneapolis. Aug. 12th, 89 days later, it was in bloom. The plant is now 4½ feet high and covered with blossoms. It was as many flowers on it in Minneapolis, as in September and October, although it had more time to attend to it there." I mention this only as an example of the great productive power of the soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada. Going to Be Fined When George Ade was a newspaper reporter he was sent to "write up" an Irish laborer who had fallen from a building. When Mr. Ade arrived on the scene, several officers and others were helping the injured man into the ambulance. Mr. Ade pulled out his pad and pencil. "What's his name?" he asked one of the policemen. The injured man, who had heard Ade and who mistook him for the timekeeper employed by the contractor, rolled his eyes in a disgusted way. "What dye'ye think o' that?" he muttered. "I'm goin' to be docked for the few minutes I lose goin' to the hospital!"—Success. Just His Luck. "Well, old fellow, I hear that your aunt is dead." "Yes, she died yesterday," replied the old fellow somewhat sadly. "It is the way of the world. We must all die some time, and the old lady was well advanced in years. She left a last will and testament, of course? I understood she was wealthy." "Oh, yes, she left a will and testament," still more sadly. "You were always a favorite of hers. Your name was mentioned, of course?" "Yes, he replied, "my name was mentioned. I'm to have the Testament." There is not a man in the world but something improves in his soul from the moment he loves—and that though his love be vulgar—Maeterlinck. General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

It is alleged that the company misrepresented articles in its catalogues sent through the mails. The first count charges that on June 13, 1907, the company devised a scheme to obtain money by false pretenses from Dr. C. F. Spring of Des Molines by selling him white lead that Sears-Roebuck claim to have made. The indictment alleges it was made by others. A second count is on a ring bought by R. H. Miles, and the third count is the sending of another ring, alleged to have been misrepresented, through the mails. Deserved.
