Modes of the Moment M. W. H. IN WHICH HAS ESTERDAY TWENTY-FIFTH Mod Mo The gown that is in good taste is that suited to the time of the day and the place where one wears it and its suitability to one's age—perhaps I should say apparent age. None other is. There is no excuse whatever for the woman of wealth and leisure being inappropriately gowned. The woman of small means is limited, of course, in her expenditures for dress, and must of necessity sometimes strain a sartorial point, but even she may sometimes forego an elaborate velvet reception gown and wrap and purchase instead a simple crepe de chine and a plain, tailored street costume, with the result that she will appear to far better advantage. It is rumored from the fashion centers that yellow is to be the color of the coming hour. It is a light apricot shade and it appears in cloth embroidered with white braid, and it is crowned with a black chip hat and feathers, the shape of the hat turning very much up at one side of the front and down at the other with waving plumes resting on a mass of hair. This suggestion of a pale yellow dress trimmed with white braid, thus crowned leaves a distinctly pleasant impression. Another fashion chronicle is that of dark green or purple shoes; these being made of the finest kid, supplied with the best quality silk stockings to match, are adopted by the prodigal, who also take their footsteps abroad in the evening in shoes of gold and silver kid. However, these last have been superseded by shoes of woven gold and silver stuff, the kid being regarded as of too tinsel a surface to display any discretion, and discretion being the abiding quality, we should look for it in our shoes. Stripes, of late the favorite of fashion, are to be relegated to a back seat this spring and the ever popular checks will again come to the fore. Stripes will be, of course, worn to a limited extent, the same as checks are now, the latter having been worn right along, not only in the costumes "held over" from a former season, but in late new costumes. Truth to tell, checks seem better suited to street gowns and stripes to those for more formal occasions. The black and white shepherd's plaid, now in vogue some years, has been a favorite with the women of the modish world, and deserve to be. The new checks will come in all sorts of colors and sizes and variations, and will be seen in the thin dressy materials as well as those fabrics best suited to coat and skirt costumes for walking. Checks will, however, be worn more by the fashionable few rather than the general public, as the market has been flooded with striped materials and large quantities of ready-made costumes, many of them handsome, many of them chic, and these the manufacturers and shop-keepers will naturally endeavor to dispose of before featuring the newer checks. The smart tailor and the Parisian couturiers will turn out many smart costumes in checks for their modish and wealthy customers. Novelties in stripes will be two high tones of the same color. Shadow stripes are the safest if one desires stripes. This stripe is made by reversing the twist of the warps so that the color shades differently, but is decidedly unobtrusive. The several shades of blue will doubtless be the most worn this spring, and these shades run through the ever-popular navy, royal, Copenhagen and electric. Brown may be THE GAZETTE ranked second, and the shades will vary from tobacco brown to biscuit color. In greens the dull reseda shades and in reds the coral tones and crimson will be seen, while violet comes last in the ranking. In two-toned worsteds there are to be the smart hearingbone shadow stripes and surah and storm serges, and in worsted fancy materials two-toned stripes in blue and in brown, and also in two shades of green and two of tan, are to be in evidence. Mohairs will be much worn in their different grades and under different names, including brilliantine and sicilienne. In the mohairs there are the black siciliennes, striped, and plain colored WALKING COSTUME FOR YOUNG LADY. Of Striped Tweed Trimmed with Black Velvet and Velvet Buttons. brilliantines, cream-colored mohair, and the black brilliantines. The latter, unless beautifully made, of perfect cut and trimmed with handsome braid, are mediocre in the extreme, but well suited to the uses of innumerable women. Rough weaves in silks are to be used this spring and the following summer. These simulate the products of Oriental handioms, and in color the darker shades will be more used. In material for spring costumes designed for traveling and for morning wear nothing excels the serges, especially the so-called surah serge. The storm serge is more appropriate for winter and autumn wear, but will also be used for sea-going suits. The costumes sketched in our large illustration are for afternoon wear. The costume on the left is of champagne face cloth, the bodice trimmed with passementerie and braid, the blouse of white tucked lawn. The sketch on the right shows a skirt and blouse of black face cloth. The blouse is edged with black silk braid, the under-bluose of Irish face. Black hat with white plumes. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. OUR BISHOPS OUR BISHOPS TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SEC. TAFT AND SPEAK RIGHT OUT AND SPEAK RIGHT OUT IN A RESOLUTION AND AN ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY, THAT MAKE LOYAL AF- RO-AMERICANS PROUD OF THEM. Washington, D. C.—The bishops of the A. M. E. church, in concluding their annual sessions at Metropolitan church here on the 18th of this month, adopted the following resolution, which was concurred in by the bishops of Zion A. M. E. and the C. M. E. churches, who were also in session here at that time now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done 'The Black Betallon' by President Roosevelt when he discharged its 167 brave men without honor or trial of any kind and merely on a suspicion of their guilt in the Brownsville affray, and against the hardly less wrong done these same men by the law. Inwardly in agreement given by Mr. Secretary Taft to the hurt injustice of the president. "That in consequence of the many sins of commission and omission of the Republican party against its faithful black contingent in the south, of its Lily White movement and the countenance and support given that the Republican party has the unmerited and illegal punishment of the black battalion by the president and the approval of the same by his secretary of war, we, the colored ministers of the A. M. E. the A. M. E. Zion, and the C. M. E. the C. M. E. Zion, have held a conference assembled in the city of Washington, do hereby raise our city in stern and solemn warning to the coming Republican national convention not to put in nomination for the presidency either President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of havoc and insult to the gentleman at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the north." Address to the Country. To enumerate the civil, social, moral, judicial and political injustices that today exasperate and annoy the members of our race, would be a hard task. We are American by right of birth; by the blood we shed; by the service we have freely given to achieve the independence and to preserve the life of the republic against foreign and domestic enemies. We are citizens of the United States entitled as such to equality civil rights as other before the law. We do not ask at your hands any special favors; we ask at the bar of this Christian nation nothing to which we are not entitled under the law and constitution. We ask for fair treatment that we may rise or fall on our merit like other men in the political and industrial life of the republic. We cannot do these unless we and our children are given equal chance to obtain people to get an education at the public expense; equal voice with all classes in making the laws; unless our laborers are given equal chance to obtain work with all other laboring classes. These things are not only necessary to the highest good of our race, but to the highest good of our common country as well. A labor class in an industrial society are deprived of the right to vote or a voice in the law of the labor classes, which possess that right and that voice; indeed at the mercy of all thus privilege. In the south by one device or another we are almost universally deprived of the right to vote. In many cases our children are deprived of equal privileges and the whole race in the north and south is deprived of equal industrial freedom to obtain work with other labor classes. We regret the fact that wherever this race turns, that it is with the laver that it possesses its by the "color line." It is "thus far" in the north, and "thus far" in the south. We appeal to and the furthest of humanity to their influence to rid this glorious country of mob violence; we appeal to all who believe in fair play to assist us in banishing from our land the peonage and convict labor systems. We appeal to the liberty loving men in authority to lend us their assistance by influence, by legislation for the removal of the slave, by the laver that placed a stigma upon the noblest and the best of our race, from the bishops of the church to the humbleest. We appeal to the judges of the supreme court to annul laws in violation of the federal constitution, to members of the assemblies of the several southern states where distranchissement laws have been enacted, and to the congress of the United States to repeal the act which have robbed the justice of the rights guaranteed us by the federal constitution which were gained upon the field of conquest by blood shed by black men as well as white men. As leaders of the people, we finally appeal for all the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this great republic. Signed by the following bishops: J. W. Hood, T. H. Lomax, C. R. Harris, R. S. Williams, E. Cottrell, J. W. Alstork, R. A. Handy, B. W. Derrick, L. H. Holsey, W. J. Gaines, B. T. Murter, G. O. Clinton, M. B. Salter, J. A. Santell, C. S. Smith, C. T. Shaffer, M. H. Turner, L.

President Roosevelt recently wrote a letter to the president of the great prize in confederation men THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY ST. JOHN'S NEW CHURCH. Plans have been completed by Architects Badgley & Nicklas for the new St. John's A. M. E. church, to be erected on the west side of E. 40th street, just north of Central avenue. The building will be of English Cothic style, 704125 feet; walls of vitrified brick with stone trimmings and windows, copper cornice and slate roof. The church will have a seating capacity of 800 and the Sunday school department for 600 and be arranged so that all may be opened together for extra occasions. The Sunday school department will consist of a large central room surrounded in horseshoe form with two tiers of class rooms. A high, well lighted basement will provide entertainment hall, parlor, dining room, kitchen, etc., making ample provision for the social life and activities of the church. ument because, he said: "It will commemorate my mother's half-brother, and my mother's whole brother," etc. MaJ.

That decision is one of the growing number of indices of national rights to Negroes are not in accord with the public sentiment of the south as a whole, and that the genuine democracy of that section is making itself heard.-Chicago Public. Southern white men have hitched slave law conditions on the Afro-American people, in defiance of the federal constitution, and until they unhitch them every healthy-lunged Afro-American is under obligation to himself and the rest of mankind to protest. Without long and persistent protest, ending in a flood of blood, slavery would now exist in this country, who even have no wrongs built that way. They stand their ground until sentiment is made to force them to terms.-Fortune's Freeman. We intend to fight the Taft forces to a stand still. We cannot forget the vacillating attitude of the war secretary on the Brownsville affair, the condoning of the disfranchisement of the Negro in the Greensboro, N.C.

For President Senator J.B. Foraker Senator Foraker will have more southern delegates' votes in the next national Republican convention than any other candidate for the presidential nomination. Our people in that section of the country are certainly doing excellent work along this line and are entitled to great praise. The first struggle in Alabama for national Republican delegates occurred recently in the Third congressional district of that state, and Senator Foraker won. Not a line relative to this appeared in any of the daily papers of the country for more than a week. It was suppressed by the Taftites of that district just as long as possible. Almost the same treatment was accorded the senator's endorsement by the state committee of Mississippi. And there are others yet to be heard from. R. W. Thompson could not sugar coat himself into our editorial columns to the injury of Senator J. B. Foraker; no, not if he had offered us every dollar Theodore Roosevelt and Mr. Taft have, and the Texas Free man besmirched itself by doing so Love should love his race's friends—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer-Press Booker Washington's leading syndicate, Washington, D. C., letter and "editorial" writer, R. W. Thompson, is doing the same thing for The Cleveland Toilet-Paper (Journal), the only "out and out Negro Taft sheet" in the country. And Taft condones disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars! Lord, have mercy! Some Negroes can descend to any depths. Our bishops are grandly arising to the requirements of the occasion. This is the time when our real leaders, MEN, should speak out in no uncertain tones, and that is exactly what our bishops are doing. It is certainly encouraging, inspiring, and speaks volumes for the future of the race. Think of it! the bishops of our three great church connections working in harmony and aggressively, too, along right lines for the good of the entire race, without fear, and regardless of even presidential favor! Isn't it more than encouraging, and inspiring? We think so. Now let us follow their lead because it is our DUTY, not only to the race but also to ourselves and those of our own who come after us. This fight with President "Brownville" Roosevelt and Secretary "Disfranchisement," "Jim Crow Car" Taft is the crucial test. Either we will act the part of MEN or that of curs. TRAITORS AND PAP-SUCKERS. The Negro traitors and pau-cupers who are trying to hang on to Taff, as few as be this kind of cattle, are unable altogether to answer the accusation of the loyals that this rotund second fiddler has not only palliated and excused, defended and advocated the damnable distranchising laws of the south, but indicated, if not openly confessed, that he would do nothing to afford the relief so much desired and as equally deserved by the outraged Republicans at the south, distranchised by an infamous and a petted Democracy which, in effect, in the south at least, is an offensive aristocracy seeking to perpetuate itself on the color line. Mr. Taff's sponsors, as voluble and likewise as errful as they are, and in neither are they more gifted than they are in the slimy ways, my noprocry, HAVE NOT WERVED THEM, and is answer. Their man, his ways and his words, has forever sealed the excusing lips of the cohort and the heeler.—New York City National Review. This is pretty strong, and yet not too strong. Secretary Taft has also defended and advocated "Jim Crow" ears. What more can any Afro-American want to convince him, that it is simply impossible for any loyal member of the race, to support either Roosevelt or Taft? Editor Roscoe Simmons, of the Review, has sized up the situation correctly, not only from our own particular viewpoint, but also from that of true Republicans generally, especially those in the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1908. south. The great mass, nearly all of our people agree with him and heartily, too. The next national Republican convention will heed our bishops solemn warning, backed up as it is by a strong protest from the loyal Jews of the country and organized labor. Taft will not be nominated! It would be national political suicide for the Republican party. BROWNSVILLE AGAIN! As was anticipated months ago, the five southern democrats on the United States senate's committee on military affairs, on Tuesday, voted with the three "Roosevelt" republican members (Lodge, of Massachusetts; Warner, of Missouri, and Warren, of Wyoming) to secure a majority vote on the Brownsville investigation report. The other four Republican committee members voted with Senator Foraker, making five in all and constituting the minority vote of the committee. Thus five of the eight Republican members of the committee were opposed to Senator Lodge's motion which was adopted with the aid of the votes of the five southern democratic members, and which seeks to brand the 167 innocent members of "The Black Bat ballion" with the crime of shooting up Brownsville, Texas, simply because President Roosevelt blundered in discharging them "without honor," with out ever giving them the trial provided for, and mandatorily, too, in the articles of war which are supposed to govern the army. This action of that badly mixed majority of the committee will not surprise any of our people, as we have been expecting it for months. One thing it will do, however, and that is, it will only increase the contempt for Roosevelt and Taft and their three subservient "Republican" members of the committee—men who would go to any extreme, it seems, even to uniting with southern Negro-hating Democrats, in a vain effort to justify even in part, an outrage which cries to high heavens for JUSTICE. When Senator Foraker presents his minority report to the senate in open session and expresses, as only he can, his views of the results of the committee's Brownsville investigation, we feel reasonably sure that the large Republican majority of that body will sustain him and not three subservient "Roosevelt" Republican and five southern Democratic members of the committee, even if they do constitute a majority of the same. All we ask is JUSTICE for our soldiers, always faithful and loyal to the American flag and the country, saviours of Col. Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" in Cuba during the Spanish-American war.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The "Jim Crow" law went into effect on the street car system in this city on the 16th. None of the cars are equipped with separate compartments, but movable signs indicated where the whites and blacks should sit. Notwithstanding the fact that only two seats were reserved in each car for Afro-Americans, there was much dissatisfaction manifested on the part of the general public. All cars were crowded into the street car seats of people who were forced to stand violated the law and rules of the company by occupying the seats reserved for our people. Conductors came in for considerable criticism for their refusal to permit the whites to occupy empty seats provided for the Negroes, when there were none on the cars. "Turned a Complete Somersault." In answer to a courteous reply from the Detroit Informer, the New York Age says that it "never backed water" when it was in the water, nothing that "warrants an apology." As to the first statement, it is true. The Age "has not backed water," it turned a complete somersault into the water. No sensible person who observed the rapidity with which the Age took to the water on the soldier's back could have changed the change feat by any milder term than a somersault or double back handspring—Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. Disfranchisement Resolution Passed Annapolis, Md.—The constitutional amendment resolution designed to disfranchise Afro-American voters of this state was passed by the senate on the 14th.

HEADS IT — THE ROOSEVELT- TAFT ADMINISTRATION OUR WORST ENEMY — THE HARM IT HAS DONE US. The positive and notoriously hostile attitude of the government of our re- public toward its citizens of color under the present republican adminis- tration and the approach of the party nominating conventions in this year 1908 produce a crisis for one-eighth of the citizenship of these United States of America. The open alliance between the president and the mul- ti-filers of the constitution in the south constitutes the most flagrant collusion BISHOP WALTERS. between a republican president and the southern democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago today, save in the case of Andrew Johnson at the close of the civil war or of Rutherford B. Hays at the close of the reconstruction. But he remained for the present chief executive of the United States to scrive in official documents an inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, with their own defense is a denial of justice and constitutional rights visited upon colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the federal maltreatment of the colored population in public publican administration, leaving him stripped of rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present zarcotric regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion; in view of the nationalistic party's punishment for the president of one who in his official posit- $ ^{a}$ as a cabinet officer has in public speech in the south condoned their disfranchisement of citizens for color in admitted violation of the federal constitution, and who has supinely endorsed in toto the brutal and autocratical nature of colloquial violence, out trial by executive decree, you as one of a class which almost from necessity has for two generations by its solid support and with a loyalty that sacrifices friends, the chance to make terms with the enemy and even life itself, kept the republican party almost continuously in power, but one who has been invited a national conference of cooled men, and of avowed friends to be held in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 7th day of April, 1908, to counsel together as to the wisest course to be pursued politically by the party, to be those those unrobbed of the ballot who are willing to use this weapon for the rights and liberties of their class, under the present abnormal condition of affairs. This conference will have special reference to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to what candidates for the president and vice president are to the port of the colored voters. Please come perpared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without regard to race, color or creed.

Truesdale Blames the Politicians New York City.—The underlying cause of all the "general indiscriminate abuse of the railways and their management" and of the "paralytic stroke which they have suffered" was on Tuesday attributed by W.

This is made in Mr. Trusdale's annual report to the stockholders of the road.

SAYS HUSBAND IS A MURDERER OPERA SINGER TELLS OF THE KILLING OF HER BROTHER. Deserted by Husband and Denied the Legality of Their Marriage, Glacia Calla Says She Will Send Him to Electric Chair. New York City.—"The whole story," as she called it, was told last night by Glacia Calla, the beautiful opera singer who, in the tragic role of a deserted bride denouncing her husband as the murderer of her brother, has excited interest on two continents. Her successes in Paris, her marriage to Paul Roy in Boston, the quarrel at the New Hampshire summer home, followed by a duel; her flight in the plane, the agonizing hours she spent beside the corpse while the recital of suicide was being decided upon were given by the woman with all the dramatic art of which she is possessed. She agreed to shield her husband, she explained, because—"Oh, when you love a man so." Now that her husband has left her and denied the legality of their marriage, and has even asserted that she is several years past her admitted age, the singer says that she has had time to realize that she is not of it and will "never let up until I drive him to the electric chair." Miss Calla, as she prefers to be called, closed the interview with the statement that she had already told her story to the New Hampshire authorities and to her attorneys here, by both of whom she had been, forbidden to speak. Miss Calla, who in private life is Mrs. Paul E. Roy, came here several days ago and has since made her home with her cousin, George E. Hodgdon, a dealer in automobile supplies. A few days before her husband sailed for Europe she called at his apartments, but he was not in. She did not see him at any time here and had to leave. She sailed with her brother, George A. Carkins, on January 2. She engaged counsel in this city and obtained a warrant for the arrest of her husband, which was afterward sent to Rome. The statement by her husband, cabled from Paris, in which he asserts that his brother was killed in self-defense, led Miss Calla to give her version of the tragedy. Portsmouth, N. H.-A warrant for the arrest of Paul E. Roy on the charge that he murdered his brother-In-law, George A. Carkins, at Newington January 2, was sworn out last night by Sheriff Cillick, of Rockingham county. Although Roy is in France and is said to be a citizen of that country, the authorities have determined to get him if possible. FOR NEPHEWS AND NIECES.

"As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any resultant advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential emigroli in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumph, a campaign against the combined armies laired, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage of our enemy to death the glorious emblem of our country the stars and stripes, he is not in a recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Ward Beecher, Judge Albion W. Tourgee, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf, and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of pride that any of his relatives had fought to dissolve the Union and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to stand parallely with any individual or organization of man to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the United States or his hero worshipers. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compuls us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United states so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe that conditions and votes will bring about his defeat to nomination. We know that politics where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being wisely heralded, especially here in Ohio, as the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greenboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of the constitution, in the matter of disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the same, and Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, after a dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military machinery of the government had been unable to prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore be it Resolved, That we, as law-abiding American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. Wm. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1804, indicate a lack of republican citizenship, because his indorsement of the dismissal without trial of 167 brave and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an asplant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C.

This is to certify that I have for several years been trying to support an organization for homeless and abandoned children, known as "The Holloway Home," and have at this time sixteen children in charge, some of whom are infants, and I am attempting to buy a piece of property in this city, located on the corner of Hallard and Germantown streets, which, if I succeed, will enable me to give better accommodations to this class of children. Nearly four years ago, a Mr. Nevels offered his services to go out and collect funds for this purpose, promising to make bimonthly reports and to bring his soliciting book at least once per year for inspection. He was to receive 40% commission for his labor. He has been out for nearly four years and has not, during this time, presented his book for inspection, having kept 60% of our part reported. I, according to my record, which has been carefully kept, have received only $190 during the entire time. Therefore, I recall all authority given by me to the said George R. Nevels and wife, and I furthermore ask that no money be given to them on my account or on the account of the organization which I am trying to foster. Signed, JULIA X HOLOWAY. Mark State of Ohio.

TRAINS RUN IN SUBMARINE TUBE TUNNEL BETWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY IS OPENED. THE PRESIDENT ASSISTED. Signal to Start First Train from New York to Hoboken Was Given by Mr. Roosevelt at the White House. New York City. “—Over to Jersey, gave way to —Under to Jersey, gave light and the despised ferryboats wended their laborious way overhead thousands of persons were being transported by subterranean route from shore to shore in about the time that it takes the surface craft to warp into their slips. The Hudson river tunnel connecting New York and Hoboken N. J. by a passage made far below the river bottom was formally opened Tuesday when President Roosevelt pressed a button and the governors of New York and New Jersey made speeches, but it got its real christening last night when on the stroke of midnight the tunnel was opened to the public and a regular service of eight-car trains running under five-minute headway was installed. The public opening was in time to catch the theater crowds bound home in the sister state, but there were thousands of other passengers bent on seeing the show, under conditions. The early trains were operated without a hitch. From Nineteenth street and Sixth avenue, the present Manhattan terminal, to Hoboken was made in about three minutes. The Hudson Tunnel Co. is its first return on the $80,000,000 investment, the promoters of the enterprise were dining the executives of New York and New Jersey at Sherry's and drink toasts to the everlasting success of the interstate all-under-the-river route. NEGROES ARE HELD GUILTY. Senate Committee on Military Affairs Renders Office to Brown- s, Vilis, Afrafa Washington, D. C.—That the shooting in the affray at Brownsville, Tex., on the night of August 13, 1996, was done by some of the negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry and that the testimony taken by the senate committee on military affairs fails to prove that the negro opinion of eight members of the committee. Four members of the committee voted against this decision and one member did not vote. The resolution declaring the guilt of the negroes was submitted by Senator Lodge and was adopted after five resolutions passed by the Senate, Dupont and one by Senator Scott, all of which were offered as substitutes, had been voted down. The vote Tuesday was reached after prolonged investigation extending over two sessions of congress and evidence had been taken covering thousands of pages. Practically every negozi had been discharged by President Roosevelt testified in his own behalf. Throughout the entire controversy, which in many sections of the country was made a political issue, the anti-immigration senator, by Senator Foraker in the final vote in the committee a majority of the Republican members came to his support. The Ohio senator expressed himself as gratified at this, as it was that the Democratic members were convinced that the negroes did the shooting. TERRORIZED BY BLACKMAILERS Armenian Merchants in New York City Feared Murder by Members of Hunchakist Society. New York City. — The terror inspired among Armenian merchants of New York by threats and death sentences imposed by Armenian blackmailers operating under the name of the Hunchakist revolutionary party was desecrated on Tuesday during the trial of Levont Martougessian, who is charged with attempting to blackmail a rpg importer named Miran Karajhensian. Martougessian was formerly an Armenian priest and is alleged to be the head of the Hunchakist society in this city. Assistant District Attorney Nott said that Karajhensian and five other New York merchants received letters asking for threatening death unless $100,000 was contributed to the "Armenian cause." The most startling testimony was given by Harootin Gulbenkian, a Turkish rug manufacturer, who said that Martougessian visited him several times and murdered him would result if he refused to contribute to the Armenian cause. Congress. Washington.—In the house on the 25th political speeches and talks on the financial condition of the country were made, the army appropriation bill being nominally under consideration. The feature of the senate's session was a speech by Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, in opposition to the Aldrich currency bill. Watch Importers Pay $15,000 Fine. New York City.—Suits brought by the federal government by against Bromel L. Strasberger & Co., of New York, importers of Swiss watches, for frauds on the revenue by underwriting corporations, were discontinued Tuesday by order of the United States district attorney, the offending company paying $30,000, which includes back duties and a fine of $15,000.

Practical Fashions CHILD'S TUCKED RUSSIAN DRESS. - Paris Pattern No. 2264.—The model illustrated must be worn by the little girl as well as her small brother, and develops well in wool-batiste, India cashmere, or any of the checked woolen goods such as shepherd's plaid, which is so popular for children's dresses at the present time. It is also a good model for any of the colored or white linens, piques, chambrays or ginghams, and makes up well in tennis flannel or galenate, with the trimming band of a bias strip of the same or contrasting material. The pattern is in four sizes—one to seven years. For a child of three years the dress requires $3\%$ yards of material 27 inches wide, $2\%$ yards 36 inches wide or 2 yards 42 inches wide, with $3\%$ yards of serpentine braid to trim.

The turn-over portions on the high standing collar are of white flannel, and the garment is fastened through the center box-plait by flat pearl buttons; similar buttons ornamenting the tab-like portions either side of the front. The sleeves are the regulation shirt-sleeve, gathered into narrow straight cuffs, fastened with buttons and button-holes, or links. The pattern is in six sizes—22 to 42 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires 4% yards of material 20 inches wide, 3½ yards 27 inches wide, 2% yards 36 inches wide, or 2¼ yards 42 inches wide.

Eighty-two years ago last December Relleff, the Russian nihilist litterateur, was condemned to death by hanging. The hangman's rope failed and Relleff was thrown to the ground. In these circumstances a man's life is often spared, even in Russia, and the emperor was inclined to mercy. But he asked a question. "Did the condemned say anything on regaining consciousness?" "Sire," was the reply, "he said that in Russia nothing could be done properly, not even the twisting of a rope." "Prove him to the contrary," answered the Muscovite ruler. And it was done.

A Philadelphia physician tells of an amusing conversation between two Irish girls in domestic service who, while on the board walk at Atlantic City one day not long ago, were exchanging views as to their various physical ailments. “It’s a strange thing, ain’t it, Norah,” asked one of the girls, “how manny new kolds of diseases people get these days. Only this mor-run’ I were readin’ an advertisement of a new midcine. It said it were wonderful for a sluggish liver.” “Gwan!” exclaimed the other girl, scornfully. “I trouble an’t no new disease. Me own grandfather was havin’ liver trouble when I were not more’n tin years old.” “Maybe,” was the laconic response. “But,” added Norah, “what I want to know: how do thim slugs get inside the liver, anyhow?”—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. ECZEMA FOR 55 YEARS. Suffered Torments from Birth—In Frightful Condition—Got No Help Until Cuticura Cured Him. "I had an itching, tormenting eczema ever since I came into the world, and I am now a man 55 years old. I tried all kinds of medicines I heard of, but found no relief. I was truly in a frightful condition. At last I broke out all over with red and white boils, which kept growing until they were as big as walnuts, causing great pain and misery, and I kept from scratching as well as I could. I was so run down that I could hardly do my work. I used Cicutura Scoop, Ointment, Resolvent, and Pills for about eight months, and I can truthfully say I am cured.

TERRIBLE. Minister—I'm afraid you men will do anything for money. Meandering Mike—Yus; some feelings will even work for it. Chance for Conversion. In the ante-bellum days, when Anson P. Morrill of Maine was making his first run for congress, a heckman of his opponent met an old minister of that section slowly jogging along the road on his old horse and halted him with: "Who are you going to vote for?" "Well," said the old man, "I thought I should give Anson a vote. Anson has good timber in him, I believe." "Oh, but I don't see how you can vote for him! Don't you know he's a Universalist? He doesn't believe in a hell." With a quiet twinkle in his eye the old man said: "We'll send him to Washington. When he has served his two years if he doesn't be lieve in a hell I shall be very much surprised." BRAIN POWER Increased by Proper Feeding. A lady writer who not only has done good literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes:— "I am an enthusiastic proclaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 years while nursing my four children, had insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. "When I read of Grape-Nuts I began eating it every morning, also gave it to the children, including, my 10 months old baby, who soon grew as fat as a little pig, good natured and contented. "Within a week I had plenty of breast milk, and felt stronger within two weeks. I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. "Grape-Nuts did wonders for me and I learned to like it. I did not mind my housework or mother's cares, for I felt strong and full of 'go.' I grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear; Indeed, the dull head pain never returned." "There's a Reason."

St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 9, 1908—President indications are that the Canadian Northwest will draw an exceptionally heavy movement of new settlers from the United States this year. It should surpass the banner record for 1907. This is not only based on the fact that the Americans have come to realize generally that the Canadian Northwest offers splendid opportunities, but also because the railroads have awakened to the fact and are offering rates to the Canadian Northwest which are exceptionally favorable. The lines which lead to St. Paul from the east and south are offering homekeepers' rates to the Canadian Northwest this year which are on a parity with those in existence to the southwest for a couple of seasons. These rates can be obtained from any agent of the Canadian government, who will be pleased to give all information possible regarding those districts which offer the greatest inducements to settlers. The weather throughout Western Canada has been remarkably yearly, yet the winter wheat belt of Southern Alberta dated at Cardston, Alberta, January 29th, says: "This winter up to January 25 was nothing short of a marvel, in fact, it was the finest anyone can remember for twenty-five years, though there have been others nearly as good. The days were fine, sunny and warm with light frosts at night. Overcoats and gloves, etc., were discarded by most people in the day time. There was so little frost in the ground that post holes could be dug without any trouble after the first inch was broken through. Winter wheat remained fresh and green although there has been no snow since the September storm. If there is an early spring, winter wheat should gain a great start." Amongst the reports of the yield of last year the following extracts are taken: H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta, writing on November, 1907, says: "I have 70 acres in crop, 50 acres of wheat and seven acres of oats. My average yield of oats was 35 bushels to the acre, and of wheat 45 bushels. The value to me was $25 per acre." J. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes in November: "I had 65 acres in winter wheat, which went 60 bushels to the acre; oats averaged 80 bushels. I also had 12 tons of hay worth $10 per ton. I got 600 bushels of potatoes from three acres of land; I got eight tons per acre from five acres of sugar beet." J. F. Bradshaw, of Magrath, had 1,030 acres of winter wheat last year which averaged 39½ bushels to the acre. The value of his farm products per acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats, $11.20 and barley, $25.15.

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.
