THE FASHION OF THE NORTHWEST. TWO LOVELY EVENING GOWNS IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER TWENTY-FIFTH Mand TWO LOVELY The pictures are the first thing a woman reads when it comes to fashions and why should we not begin our letter with a description of the feature which first attracts the eye and the thought of the fair reader? To begin then with the lovely evening gowns pictured in the illustration above. The first toilet is of pale blue chiffon and cobwebby lace, entwined bands and loops of softest pink velvet, and trails of shaded pink roses applique in hand-painted velvet and satin. The other gown is of oyster white satin, patterned with cloud-like flecks of pale gold and wrought, too, with great roses of a brighter gold, this beautiful fabric by displayed to full advantage by the absolutely simple lines of the gown which—as you may see by the sketch—follows the much-favored empire style. Some softly crossed folds of flesh-pink tule form a sort of square chemisette at the decollete, and laid lightly over the shoulders are wide stoles of a gold-meshed net and cobwebby lace, broidered with circles of gold rimmed round with silver and little flowers whose petals again bring the gold and silver together and soften them with touches of white silk. These stoles fall almost to the hem of the gown, their graceful career being only temporarily interrupted by the swathed folds of the empire belt, while the back of the skirt forms a plain panel, graduated into a point which is carried high above the waist-line. Our single column illustration displays a costume built for style and grace as well as utility. It is in black and white striped tweed, trimmed with black stitching and black velvet cuffs and collar. A black hat with black glace ribbon arranged in large loops at the side completes the outfit. To go back in our thought again to evening gowns and speak of a strong tendency towards the new outline robe. We may not go so far as to have our gowns pasted to our limbs, as were some of the ultra-tight gowns of old, but without doubt we shall soon find it necessary to adopt the chamois combination which was in such favor a few years ago! Already many of these tight-fitting skirts are provided with cleverly arranged elastics, which draw the material back over the hips and above the knees, throwing all the fulness behind. It is appropriate and suitable that this style of robe should come to us at a moment when art satin is in the full tide of favor. This material is essentially the right one for evening wear, or afternoon gowns of the Tallien order because it is sufficiently heavy in texture in hang in delightfully graceful folds, and yet it is as supple as crepe de chine. Chiffon velvet is another favorite material of the hour, and in certain shades of blue, blen-Nattier or bleu pastel, it is exquisite. Certainly the tendency is to make evening skirts of the richest materials and to leave them practically untrimmed. Satin and chiffon velvet are treated in this way, but then Fashion dictates that over these plain, very tight-fitting robes picturesque draperies in transparent materials shall be worn. The effect is delightful and eminently flattering to most women. The transparent draperies are arranged in many different ways. Some take the form of wing-like sleeves which leave the outer part of the arms quite bare, but which fall at either side in long folds. Then again there is the transparent coat that is so effective when thrown over perfectly moulded gown of THE GAZETTE satin or velvet, the coat which shows on its fronts and hem embroideries of the finest description, and which nearly always displays a number of lovely tassels at unexpected points. Evening gowns of this genre are infinitely becoming to women who take delight in things picturesque. There is something very attractive and subtle about a gown which seems to hide the outlines of the figure, but which in reality displays them. The idea appeals to women of imagination, and endless variations can be worked out on the simple theme. In spite of the triumph of velvet this season, which will certainly go on increasing all the winter, the lovely fine clothes, with their sheeny, safine surface, and their wonderful suppleness which makes them take such beautiful folds, have never been so A Handsome Street Dress. popular with the dressmakers; and no wonder, for they lend themselves so admirably to either the draped skirts, which are the latest fashion, or to the princess and empire styles, which, in sporting vernacular, are "going stronger than ever." Indeed, certain houses in Paris seem to have nailed their colors to the mast; and, in spite of the fact that the empire designs were already ruling the roost two years ago, they are making nothing else this year for afternoon and evening wear. If anything, they are more intensely empire than ever, and the long clinging skirt, which, catching on the wearer's instep as she walks, draws the skirt tight and reveals the whole outline of her limbs, with the little bolero jacket covered with braiding and fringe, might have been taken direct from a fashion plate of the period. Actor-Managers. If Lillian Nordica finally carries out her project for an American Bayennthe she will not be the first singer to emerge as a manager. Jean de Reskeh has a private theater in Paris, acoustically perfect, and there the other day Rossini's "Barber of Seville" was sung by the owner, his brother Edouard, Adelina Patti and Mario Ancona, and many people remember the ill-fated venture of Van Dyck, a Wagner tenor once almost the idol of a section of the Metropolitan opera house public here. Last season he gave German opera in London. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1908. Attorney McGhee Makes an Able Address—A Splendid Audience Hears Him—The Social Features. F. L. McGhee, of St. Paul; Drs. Wesley and Bentley and Mr. Maddern, of Chicago; Mr. Hawkins, of Baltimore, and Mr. Crawford, of Connecticut, were members of the executive committee of the Niagara Movement (of which Prof. W. E. B. DuBois is the head) that assembled in this city last week at Clayton hall for the purpose of holding a meeting. As it was held behind closed doors, we are unable to state what results were accomplished by the gentlemen who came such long distances to confer with one another. Their two sessions of Saturday morning and afternoon were followed by a smoker in the evening given in their honor by Messrs. Edw. Williams and Wm. R. Green, to which about 40 persons were invited, a goodly portion of that number attending. The honored A. H. PROF. W. E. B. DuBOIS other city in the country can boast of. This much credit we believe they are entitled to and should have, rather than such a criticism as Mr. McGhee has written, that they dress by designing, and anything but loyal local members of the race.

Some Very Pertinent and Caustic Comment on Roosevelt and Taft's Contemptible Treatment of "The Black Bat-talic" Mr. Henry Lee, of De Soto, Mo., writes: "Mr. James Reynolds (white), my neighbor, and a republican, too, says: 'President Roosevelt has played h- by discharging those soldiers at Brownville, Tex., without giving them a trial. If they were guilty of murder, as the president said they were, they were not, he should have released them of charges. Why did the president let a lot of so-called murders loose among the people to kill one one else? The president didn't know whether they were guilty or not. They had no trial, so to prove anything. True to the Fourteenth Amendment. "This government has been true to the spirit of the fourteenth amendment in the Philippines. Can our opponents (the democrats) deny that here at home the principles of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have been in effect nullified? I have been looking to him and congress to remedy these evils, but they have not done that good, said they have not done that good." "In this, as in many other matters, we at home can well profit by the example of those responsible for the actual management of affairs in the Phillippines. In our several commonwealths here in the United States, we as a people now face the complex problem of securing fair treatment to each man, regardless of his race or national origin, and proach the problem in the spirit of courage, common sense and high-minded devotion to right, etc." "Has the president and the congress forgotten all about the above portion of the president's letter of acceptance? It seems so to my people." Hannah's Wealth Increases. New York City—Hannah Ellas, the octoonet, who "loved" elderly John M. Platt (white), millionaire, out of $700,000, has just about doubled that fortune, it is said. The money she procured was carefully invested. Through luck and good judgement, she has always seemed to have turned to gold. Manhattan and Bronx real estate has been her specialty. Today she has a home at 226 Central park, west, her own carriages, is waited on by well-trained staff, and is rounded by every luxury money can buy. And her fortune has grown despite her expensive indulgences. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Lottie Jones and Irene Tyler are in Washington, D.

WAKEUPMEN Taft and the Czar of Russia, Awaken the Jews. APROMPTPROTEST Which President Roosevelt Pays Immediate Attention — Ignores Afro-American—Foraker Delegates for the District. Special to The Gazette. Washington, D. C.—There are many interesting topics being discussed by the citizens of the District of Columbia, and as Ohioans are deeply interested in one of them, I shall give it first place in my letter. Will the District of Columbia send two Foraker delegates to the national republican convention? is the topic referred to above. My answer to that query is, yes. There are many Foraker men who want to be delegates, and they are telling their friends that they are candidates and asking support. One or two of them have been Foraker men when Foraker stock was low, when it seemed that the administration's forces would succeed in "eliminating" Ohio's grand man. There are nine or ten candidates and with that many in the fight, the administration, Mr. Taft, Mr. Cannon, Mr. Knox, Mr. Fairbanks, or Mr. Cannon, will walk off with the prize. The Afro-American Columbia are not the only republicans here. There are some among the whites. Few, 'tis true, but enough to defeat the Foraker candidates, if they all run. It is the earnest effort of the correspondent to have only one ticket in the field and that ticket the approval in the fight. If this can be Columbia is called upon to vote at the national republican convention, it will be some man's pleasure to rise and cast two votes for Joseph Benson Foraker. I earnestly ask that all Forakerites who read this letter use their best efforts to help bring about this question. Whoever the candidates are, we must give them our loyal support. It is the duty of every Afro-American to sacrifice any personal desires or animosities in this fight. No man is a Foraker man who will not make this sacrifice. I hate no man, have no revengeful feeling in my heart toward any man, and would support the Hon. George B. Cortelyou if he were a Foraker. I hate no man, have no revengeful feeling in my heart toward this man has done me, will readily see that I am for Foraker. This is the spirit that should dominate every man who is for Foraker. Senator Foraker's representative should be made aware of the numerous candidates, and he should see to it that they get to and show that they are true to the cause. With such the field, victory is ours; with many, defeat. A recent dispatch to the New York Herald was headed "Jews to Fight Taft Boom. Secretary's Visit to Czar Said to Have Aroused Hebrew Population." The mere fact that Mr. Taft took luncheon and drank to the Czar's cause is cause sufficient for the laws of the United States to register their protest, and one very prominent New York republican reported to the president "that it was the most serious uprising he had ever known among a class of voters." The Jews, mark you, are not loyal republicans, as are the Afro-Americans; but see what the result of the protest and threat of these people bring: "The president saw the effect very quickly, and asked what could be reported, and asked what could be done. He was told that nothing could be done, the harm apparently could not be counteracted." Another leader from New York reported that he had attended a meeting last Sunday night which brought together the representatives of every Jewish society in the city at the meeting he was simply dumbbell-shaped bigger than a man's hand" that had suddenly overspread the entire Taft horizon. It is said that the republican leaders suddenly discovered "that the Hebrew population was ringing with denunciation of the secretary of war." A cabinet officer was suggested as a means to suppress the cry, and this suggestion was disallowed as probably more of it, you Afro-Americans, you loyal Americans—the only loyal republicans of today. The secretary of war only did what courtesy demanded, and drank with a foreign ruler, but that ruler is an enemy of the Jew and the Jew resents it, and the president and his party leaders are alarmed and are seeking to mollyfate the feelings of whom are democrats. Does president and his party leaders pay any attention to the protests of the Afro-Americans whom they have outraged and lied to and on? No!! Why? because they know that they have black agents (trustees) whose duty it is to go among Afro-Americans and spread cement of office on a few and a proportion of the population. Does trick is done. Wake up, men; for God's sake, 'WAKE UP!' When will the last straw be laid on? Are you an Atlas that can bear any burden? Break off the chain which bind you to a party that is not bound to you. When the day comes that as you enter the booth to vote, a tab-keeper will not be able to place you down as a republican voter, then your protestors will be bound to your protests headed. WAKE UP!!!

AWAKENING .. BY SUSAN HUBBARD MARTIN (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) November had set in as usual, with dull gray skies and chilly, penetrating winds. Up the broad avenue that led to the Dillingham residence the dead leaves whirled and eddied and settled with many a melancholy flutter into their annual graves, while the tall trees tossed their bare arms about, as if lamenting the loss of these cheery little harbingers of spring and summer. In the house beyond, however, all was bright and charming with glowing fires and soft, mellow lights. Geoffrey Dillingham and his wife sat in the library, she with a beeching look in her gentle eyes, he with a slight annoyance in his. "So you wish me to invite your people here for Thanksgiving?" he queried almost harshly. "I tell you, Elizabeth, it's impossible." So, in the luxurious gle began, the life a closing in combat. Ham, in the terrible, bending over loved form, realized what his sin had been must have caused his that had blinded him claims. With old Ma he could but exclaim self." And now she leave him. He walked to the wed across the bare and "And they have low murmured. "Oh, Elizabit only live, and I will thousand times." He would send for whispered. As if in thoughts, the kindly "But why, Geoffrey?" returned his wife, with a little catch in her soft voice, "only think, we've been married seven years, and you've never asked them here once," a moment's silence. "And they feel it," she added, in a faltering tone, "and so do I. After all, they're my parents, dear." Geoffrey Dillingham trowned and turned again to his desk. Scratch went his pen with rapid strokes, then it stopped suddenly, and wheeling around abruptly he faced his wife. "And if they are," he began, "I feel that I have repaid them in a measure for the loss of you; from poverty I've placed them in comparative case. What more do they want?" he demanded, irritably. "But you forget, Geoffrey," returned his wife, gently. "They love me, too." "If you please, Elizabeth," he said, curtly, "we'll dismiss the subject. As to Thanksgiving day, I've already invited Wilson and his family to dinner." Wilson was his law partner. Elizabeth Dillingham smothered a heavy sigh, and rose to leave the room. Truly heredity isn't everything. That anything so beautiful as Elizabeth Dillingham am should emanate from the Tracy family was little short of a miracle. When Geoffrey Dillingham at 36, saw Elizabeth Tracy, at 18, he loved her. Yes, aristocrat, autocrat, courted and wealthy as he was, something about her touched a responsive chord in his heart of hearts, heretofore unreached, and he resolved to win her. But her family! He groomed in spirit as he thought of allying the proud name of Dillingham with that of Tracy—but Elizabeth was so beautiful, and as pure as she was lovely. Ephraim Tracy and his wife were decidedly common people. He was a little man, pretty well advanced in years, with a kindly, wrinkled face, a back somewhat bent, and serene, benignant eyes. In a sort of desultory fashion he managed to keep soul and body together, and that was about all. He could turn his hand at almost anything, however. If he was lacking in pride for himself, he had an abundance for his daughter Elizabeth, or Lizzie, as he fondly called her, which affection Elizabeth fully reproscrobated. He had lived always in the same village, consequently his two sons, Jim and Andrew, grew up there. Elizabeth was the youngest of the family. Where she got her beauty, no one could understand. That she possessed it, everyone acknowledged. All the family pinched and saved to cloth and educate her properly, and it was the proudest day of Jim's and Andrew's lives when they could contribute something toward Lizzie's schooling; and Elizabeth went to school and studied hard. She meant to be a teacher, she said. But the summer she was 18, she met Geoffrey Dillingham, the leading lawyer in Dexter, a thriving manufacturing city a good hundred miles from Elizabeth's home. After a brief, impetuous wooing, they were married. When a few weeks afterward Elizabeth began to make happy plans for the promised visit of her parents, her husband, with cruel candor, told her: "My guests must be of my choosing, Elizabeth," he said, "and I don't want to hurt you, but I can't have your parents here." He never forgot the expression of the lovely eyes. It had been seven years now since Elizabeth's wedding day. Only rarely did she visit home, and even then, the visits were not satisfactory. Elizabeth knew, and they knew. Geoffrey Dillingham, with all his faults, was not stingy, and generous checks came from his hand to the Tracy family regularly. So the years rolled on, bending old Ephraim Tracy's back more and more and almirving the hair of Elizabeth's mother. November with its short days passed rapidly away, until it lacked but two weeks till Thanksgiving. Elizabeth, in her home, seemed to grow paler and slighter these short November days. Her husband, coming home one night, found her shivering over the library fire. "What is it, Elizabeth?" he asked, anxiously. "I don't know," answered his wife, her teeth chattering, "only I'm so cold, Geoffrey." So cold. He went up to her and pushed back the lovely hair from the white forehead. "You'd better go upstairs, Lizzie," he said, tenderly. They put her to bed shortly after that, but before morning sharp pains set in and a doctor was hurriedly sent for. As the fever rose she grew light-headed and babbled on about father, and Andy, too. She thought she was at home again, living again her simple, humble life. "What is it, doctor?" her husband whispered, a great fear tugging at his heart. "Inflammation of the lungs," the doctor had answered, briefly. So, in the luxurious room, the struggle began, the life and death angel closing in combat. Geoffrey Dillingham, in the terrible, trying days that followed, bending over that slight, beloved form, realized for the first time what his sin had been; the misery he must have caused his wife, the pride that had blinded him to all parental claims. With old Martin Chuzlewilt, he could but exclaim: "Self—self—self." And now she would die and leave him. He walked to the window and looked across the bare and frozen fields. "And they have loved her, too," he murmured. "Oh, Elizabeth, my wife, only live, and I will make it up a thousand times." He would send for them now, he whispered. As if in answer to his thoughts, the kindly physician raised his eyes. "Better telegraph for her parents," he said. "She will reach the crisis before 24 hours, and—she may not pass it." Ephraim Tracy was in the back yard divesting his plump turkey of H. It Was He Who Gave Her Medicine feathers when the telegram came, Mrs. Tracy came out and held up the yellow sheet. "Father, father," she cried, trembling, "a dispatch has come from Dexter, and Elizabeth is dangerously sick." Jim and Andrew went, too. They reached Dexter that night, but she did not know them. All that night Jim and Andrew walked restlessly about, but Ephraim Tracy sat, a pathetic, bowed figure, by his daughter's bed. His son-in-law had asked him to his house at last, but alas—for this. But it was the father's hand that administered the needed nourishment, the father's hand that smoothed the damp and curling hair, the father's hand that held the pale and wasted one, and Geoffrey Dillingham, as he watched, too, for the first time in his life saw, in the despised old man, something to reverie. Night passed and it was the day before Thanksgiving. The doctor came, and with his practiced eye detected a change. He looked across to where Elizabeth's husband stood, gray and haggard, awaiting his verdict. "Dillingham," said he, gently, "toorrow will be Thanksgiving day. Thank God for your mercies, for your wife will live." A low sobbing broke in upon them. It was old Ephraim Tracy, down upon his knees, his face hidden in the coverlet. Though the tears were raining down his face, Geoffrey Dillingham went over to the old man and lifted him as he would a child. "Come, father," he whispered, brokenly, "come." The afternoon of Thanksgiving day Elizabeth lay on her pillows exhausted, worn, but at peace with all the world. "And you're all here," she whispered, happily. "Oh, I've been so sick, but this repays me for it all." She smiled at them, her old, sweet smile, and then she murmured: "Kiss me, all of you, for I am so—happy." They kissed her, as she asked, with full and thankful hearts, and quietly went away. The room was quiet now, with only her husband beside her. Elizabeth turned her eloquent eyes to his. Those eyes, that he had feared might never know him more this side of the gates of pearl. "You've been good to me in everything but one, Geoffrey; you won't refuse me now?" she said. He understood, for he bent over her suddenly, and for an instant his cheek lay against her own. Sometimes your skies grew very dark, And you were full of woe. You got out where the woods were dense And everything was strange: You had a mademoiselle dread of what you saw. And you turned your tearful face To the old chimney stack; And how much more secure you felt When you were going back. Again, when you were in your teens, Headstrong, as boys will be. Then you were in the parents failed All something to agree. You packed up in a huff and left, For where, you had no ken. Declaring you would ne'er return Beneath the roof again. But by and by you softened down And thought of home and friends, And no longer the day. You ought to make amends. Ah! Friends are friends, and home is You bought to make dinner. Ah! Friends are friends, and home is home. In public, cot or shack; And though, sometimes, we run away, It's good to wander back! —Joe Cone, in N. Y. Sun THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1908. TWO MEN KILLED: 13 INJURED AN EXPLOSION IN A STEEL PLANT AT BRADDOCK, PA. Molten Metal Sifted Through the Lining of a Converter, Throwing 15 Tons of Metal Into a Pit Where Men Worked. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Two men were killed and 13 others were seriously injured by an explosion Wednesday in Converter No. 3 of the Edgar Thomson plant of the United States Steel Co. at North Bradock, about seven miles east of here. The dead: Paul Kurlsch, aged 30 years, Braddock. Stephen Doviah, aged 35, Braddock. Six of the injured were Americans and the others Slavs. They were removed to a hospital in this city, where it was said their injuries were not serious. No official statement of the cause of the explosion has been issued, but old converter mill men say the cause could hardly be other than that some of the molten metal sifted through the soapstone lining of the converter and came in contact with the steel sheathing, which perhaps was damp. When the explosion occurred the bottom of the converter dipped in, throwing 15 tons of molten metal into the pit where 15 men were working at the ladles. There was no explosion when the hot mass of steel struck the bottom of the pit, but instead flames of burning gas were sent up, which burned the men in the pit. The two men who were killed had been working under the converter and their bodies were terribly mangled. The force of the explosion blew the sheet iron roof off of the converting mill and caused two of the walls to collapse, besides breaking all of the metal. The walls were partially destroying the engine house and warehouse near the converting mill. SOME ADVICE TO LEGISLATORS. It is Given by Gov. Hughes, of New York, in His Annual Message. Albany, N. Y.-The annual message of Gov. Hughes, which was sent to the legislature Wednesday, contains many important recommendations. Chief among these is a recommendation regarding the amendment of the law relating to banks and trust companies. The governor urges the legislature to adopt every practicable means "to prevent a repetition of reprehensible practices and to assure the proper management of the financial institutions chartered and supervised by the state, upon whose stability the interests of our people largely depend." The important recommendation has as its object the complete suppression of race track gambling throughout the state. Direct nominations at primaries and a simplified form of ballot are urged in the message, and recommendations also are made for better provision for the care and protection of emigrants; for the extension of the state's forest preserves; for careful revision of the forest, fish and game law; for the enactment of a license law, providing reasonable license fees for hunting; for amendment of the constitution of the state; and from the city's debt limit all bonds issued for purposes which produce revenues in excess of their maintenance charges; and for the establishment of a secondary agricultural school, which would provide a suitable complement to the work of the college at Ithaca. POLICE ARE BAFFLED. Murder Mystery of the "Woman in Red" at Harrison, N. J., Is Unsolved. New York City—The mystery enveloping the murder of the "woman in red" is seemingly as impenetrable to-day as when the nude body was first discovered on Christmas day partially concealed in the water and elapsed a long time before Harrison, N. J. Thus far the detectives have failed to find a single reliable clue to the identity of the woman or her slayer. The identifications of the dead woman by Mrs. Hattie Hull and Detective Drabell, of Orange, N. J., have elapsed a long time before Harrison, more puzzling than ever. Word was received Wednesday from Philadelphia that Agnes O'Keele, whom Detective Drabell believed the murdered woman to be, had been found in that city. Mrs. Hull's identification is not credited by the police. Acting Mayor Daly of Harrison, N. J., identified Wednesday that the city council would offer a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the slayer of the woman. An American Consul Is Attacked. Guatemala City, Guatemala.-The American charge d'affaires, William F. Sands, has returned here from Ocos, whether he went to investigate an alleged attack on the American consul there by the Mexican consul. It is said the American consul fears a further attack and declares that the American consul must protect him, alleging that Guatemala fears Mexico may misconstrue any step taken against Mexican citizens. The Mexican minister to Guatemala claims that if the United States makes demands on Guatemala they will serve as an excuse for a serious attack on Mexicans residing at Ocos. Coke Workers' Wages are Cut. Uniontown, Pa. An announcement is made by H. C. Frick Coke Co. to increase in wages all of its coke plants in this region. The decrease is about $7½ per cent, and places the wages slightly above what they were prior to the increase made in March, 1906. Brewers are refused an injunction. Atlanta, Ga. — Judge Newman, on Wednesday refers to a temporary injunction requested by the brewery interests to stop the enforcement of the prohibition law of Georgia. Fractured His Wife's Skull. Boyne City, Mich. — Charles Hopkins is under arrest and his wife is thought to be dying from a fracture. The argument the couple had on the street Wednesday. Hopkins is charged with striking his wife on the head with a rock. He objected to her being identified with the Salvation Army. Two Skaters Drowned. Wyandotte, Mich. — Mrs. Agnes Petterson, aged 25, and Otto Hugu- lin, aged 26, were drowned Wednesday breaking through the ice while skating. LAND FRAUD CASES NOT YET ENDED UNCLE SAM WILL NOT STOP PROSECUTIONS. DECISION OF JUDGE LEWIS Will be Fought in the Higher Courts and the Work of Securing Evidence Will be Contained by Government Agents. Washington, D. C—At the last cabinet meeting of the year 1907, held Tuesday, the decision was reached by the president and Attorney General Bonaparte that the government will use every means in its power to bring about, in the higher courts, disapproval of the decision rendered in Colorado by Judge Lewis that there is no law against citizens agreeing in advance to purchase coal or other public land acquired by others, under what is known as the dummy entryman system. Denver, Col.—There are now but two cases left of the score or more indictments returned by the grand jury last May for alleged land frauds in Colorado and unless the supreme court reverses the decision of Judge Lewis more than $200,000 expended by the government in collecting evidence will have been wasted.

Stock Exchange Building, at Rome is Ruined—Twenty People Injured. Rome, — The Temple of Neptune, built by Hadrian and standing in the center of the Forum of Agrippa, now occupied by the stock exchange, was the scene Tuesday afternoon of tremendous explosion, causing a sensation almost as great as the explosion of a bomb in St. Peter's on November 18, 1906. The concussion was so great that many persons throughout the city were terrified and great crowds rushed to the scene. Within the building there were many people, but fortunately the great majority of the brokers had left. No one was killed, but 20 persons, chiefly clerks, were injured. The explosion resulted in the collapse of the roof of the exchange and a man who was among those injured later caught in the wreckage, but later were released by the firemen who responded to the call. Although first impressions were that the explosion was caused by a bomb thrown by some one who wished either to prevent the end of the month liquidation or to take advantage of the confusion to commit an extensive theft, it was generally accepted later that the disaster came from an explosion of an gas. Officials, however, who made the investigation do not admit such a possibility, but as there is no evidence to show that a bomb was thrown, the probability of a gas explosion has been given out by the police.

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. With Eczema - Limb Peeled and Foot Was Raw - Thought Ampulation Was Necessary - Believes Life Saved by Cuticura. "I have been treated by doctors for twenty-five years for a bad, case of eczema on my leg. They did their beat, but failed to cure it. My doctor had advised me to have my leg cut off. At this time my leg was peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk on crutches. I bought a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the first two treatments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg was cured and the new skin came on. The doctor was surprised and said that he would use Cuticura for his own patients. I have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Remedies I might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B. Renand, 277 Mentana St., Montreal, Que., Feb. 20, 1907." Money for Foreign Missions.
