Beautiful and Desirable Ornament Is to Be Fashionable. Cluny lace shows signs of being the most popular of the laces for summer suits and voile dresses, although during the season just passed it has divided honors with the ever fashionable Irish. Even the lace coats for summer use are made of this pillow face, and during the last three years it has relegated renaissance lace to its proper use for curtains and table covers. Cluny is a very beautiful and desirable ornament for all costume and because it is made of a linen thread it is especially appropriate as a decoration for linen dresses. At the same time it is not as expensive nor as heavy as the Irish crochet. Some of the lace coats are tinted to a deep shade of tan, while others of white are lined with silk in some light shade. The popularity of cluny will also prevent coats of embroidered fillet net from coming strongly into vogue, for the darned net, no matter how beautiful it may be, always has a darned look, while lace should really look like lace. It is yet too early to tell definitely how smart the lace coats will be made for ordinary wear, but certain it is that, if they are worn on the street, they will not be strictly good form. DAINTY NIGHT DRESS. The neck of this dainty night dress is square in the front and round in the back. The sleeves are shaped circular pieces, full at the top and trimmed in lace. The New Shield Clamp. A handy little device that will prove a blessing to the busy woman who loves neatness has appeared in the shops. It is a very small metal clamp for attaching the dress shield to the waist or underwaist without sewing or pinning. It grips the edge of the shield and waist, holding them firmly, and is so flat as to be entirely unnoticeable. The clamps are made of gold plate and nickel, and range from 15 cents to 25 cents per set, one set being four clamps, enough for one waist. Enter Pinafore Style Enter Pinafore style The woman with a passion for renovation will find much comfort in the fact that some of the newest Paris models show the pinafore outline on the shoulders. For, by removing the sleeves of last year's gown, cutting away the bodice both back and front, and edging with silk passementerie, preta, there is conjured forth a little garment ready to be drawn over the dainty underbodice demanded by the pinafore style. THE GAZETTE HOME-MADE: AROMATIC VINEGAR. Toilet Necessity That Is Comparatively Easy to Prepare. While that familiar old saying, "A peck of dust is worth a king's ransom," may have truth for its foundation, it brings in its wake bad colds, inflamed eyes, headaches and a host of minor discomforts, writes Emma Paddock Telford. Our grandmothers used to make great use of aromatic vinegar at such times, calming that it afforded relief to headaches, relieved dizziness and faintness and even possessed great anti-epidemic qualities. At all events its pungent scent and fragrant odor rendered it gratefully refreshing. And what more can we ask? Most of the aromatic vinegar purchased in shops is nothing but sulphate of potash put up in small vials impregnated with acetic acid made aromatic with oil of rosemary or lavender. A far better article can be made at home after this old recipe: Take four ounces each dried rosemary tips and sage leaves, two ounces dried lavender flowers, two drams bruised cloves and four quarts distilled vinegar. Macerate these ingredients in a wooden or earthen vessel for a week, then filter the liquor and bottle. Some add camphor. Garnishing for Lingerie Gowns. Embroidered linen and lace medallions and galloons make wonderfully effective garnishing for lingerie gowns, whether placed at intervals upon the skirt or arranged extra deux with tucks, smaller sizes of similar pattern being employed for the blouse. The lingerie costume, of course, is worn over a silk tlipp, preferably of chiffon taffeta, which, having no dressing, does not crack nor make the rustling sound that is now considered as an indication of vulgarity, for the refined young woman, however athletic, is expected to be a soundless, velvet-footed, soft-voiced person of retiring manner, although entirely self-possessed. Therefore, lingerie gowns which look simple whatever their cost, perfectly suit her pose. The Corsage. It is only natural that with the princess and empire gown should come the silk corsage, that bodice that fits like a co-set and can be made into one of the most elaborate bits of dress imaginable. Just now the new corsage is quite short and it is rather plain across the front to give a princess effect, but the sides and under-arm pieces will be furnished with finest metallic laces and glistening trimming of every description. The corsage is pointed at the front and back of the yoke outline, straight across the lower edge of the back and slightly rounded at the waist line. It is sleeveless, though the gulpe sleeves are bits of beauty as well as the pretty lace yoke. Lace Luncheon Set. To make an attractive and inexpensive luncheon set procure at the curtain goods department filet curtain lace for about 65 cents a yard. Four of the squares make a plate dolly, one square a bread and butter plate dolly, and one square a tumbler dolly. Sixteen squares make the centerpiece. To make a set of 12 each only takes about a yard and a quarter of material. Then get inexpensive torchon or some other heavy lace and sew around the edges of the doilies, making the seams in the corner, where they will not show.

Ft. Madison, Sackett's Harbor, N. Y., April 9, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette: Dear Sir—The last time I wrote you we (the Twenty-four infant) were in the far off Philippines. As last week's Gazette with its splendid illustration and account of our grand reception in Buffalo while en route, has told of our success away from home and our itinerary en route here and to Ft. Ontario, N. Y., there is nothing for me to write at this time, except to ask it to remember me to friends in Steubenville, Cadzl (my old home), Wheeling and other points in that vicinity of Ohio and West Virginia. We were all glad to get back home after our two years' absence, including the 33 days on the ocean returning and a longer period of time spent in going. We stopped 20 minutes in Cleveland en route here and I wanted so much to call on The Gazette. But it was impossible to give away the train if there had been sufficient time to make the trip to your office. We have eight companies, two battalions (A, B, C, D and M, I, L, K) here. The other four companies are at Ft. Ontario. All are in the best of health. However, it took us some time to get used to the cold weather. On my way home, which will be soon, I will stop in Cleveland and make a call on you. We arrived here March 25. Yours truly, GEO. W. WHITE, Co. C. Twenty-four Infant.

Smith, Editor The Gazette—Have formed Foraker National league. Want an Ohio man for president. Will you accept? Reply at my expense. E. W. LAMPTON. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGER THE FORAKER NAT'L LEAGUE ORGANIZED TO PROMOTE THE SENATOR'S CANDIDACY FOR ITS OFFICERS—WHY THE REPUBLICANS OF THE SOUTH ARE AGAINST ROOSEVELT AND TAFT AND FOR FORAKER. Washington, D. C. The Foraker National league is composed of some of the most representative Afro-Americans, as the following partial list of its members will show: Ohio—Hon. Harry C. Smith, president, editor The Gazette. Alabama—H. V. Cashin of Decatur, attorney and leading Republican in northern Alabama. District of Columbia—Rev. George W. Lee, pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist church. Florida—John H. Dickerson, delegate-at-large to Republican national convention; grand master of Florida Masons. Mississippi—Hon. Sam P. Hurst, chairman third congressional district Republican committee and member Republican state committee; a prominent real estate dealer. North Carolina—Rev. R. H. W. Leake, influential minister and leader, Raleigh. South Carolina—C. George Garret, editor The Light, Columbia. Tennessee—J. T. Settle, a leading lawyer of the south; substantial citizen of Memphis. Texas William M. McDonald, chief Republican state committee; prominent planner. Virginia—James H. Hayes, attorney and editor St. Luke's Herald, Richmond. West Virginia—Attorney J. R. Clifford, editor Pioneer Press, Martinsburg. The advisory committee is headed by Dr. E. W. Lampton, secretary of the financial department of the A. M. E. church, and grand master of Mississippi Masons. Oliver Randolph of Mississippi, secretary of the league, is in charge of the offices in the Capital Savings bank building, 609 F street, N. W. From this center, with branches throughout the south, a most vigorous and aggressive campaign will be launched to elect the league. The league has great assurances of success. Already in every southern state in which delegates have been elected, Senator Foraker's friends have been successful in electing men who will vote for him at the national convention. This is true of the states of Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi and Tennessee, Ohio, the senators own state, has obeyed the convention and elected him for him in the national convention, Virginia's "illy white" delegates, who it was recently announced, cannot be seated in the Republican national convention for the simple fact that the convention which claimed them was held in violation of the cardinal principles of the Republican party. Thus we see that right at this time, Senator Foraker has quite a follow-up to the convention, and is surely growing. There is no question but that he is the most popular presidential candidate in the south and consequently should have the delegates. Secretary Taft is not at all popular in that section and even the few real Republicans who are office-holders are at heart against him and are hoping that the "referee system" of the south will be killed off the opposition to Roosevelt and Taft. The opposition to Roosevelt and Taft are opposed to the president because, as they see it, he has done all that he could do to discourage the real Republican party in that section; while on the other hand, he has built up a new Democratic party composed of office-holders, who are termed "illy whites," Republicans who are attempting to corrupt the Republican party by introducing strange documents. The Republicans of the south are opposed to the president and quite naturally to Secretary Taft, the president's own choice, because they feel that four more years of illly whiteism would frightfully impair and probably forever cripple the Republican party. They are against Roosevelt and Taft because of the Brownsville man and side with Senators Joseph Browns and James A. Hemeway, in the matter of the dismissal without honor of the soldiers of Companies B, C and D of the First battalion of the Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry, they, southern Republicans, favor the nomination of Joseph Benson Foraker not only for his stand with reference to the defenseless soldiers, but because he is eminently fitted for the high office both by temperament and the ability to work with the people of which he may justly feel proud, he appeals to us as the most available candidate that the party can nominate. They are for him to a man. He is also popular with the labor element and with his comrades, the veterans of the war of the rebellion. He is for law and order; labor and capital would find in him a president who would avoid friction, for he is a lawyer great for the war and who knows how and has the courage to execute it properly. The Foraker National league will stand by the senator. We are aware that every known method is being resorted to to prevent the Republicans of the south from having Continued on Second Page.

For President Senior J.B. Foraker The Gazette is indebted to George A. Myers of this city for the excellent poem elsewhere in this paper, entitled "What it Colored Color-Sergeant Said." Read it—it is fine. Mary Stewart, a nurse, of Washington, D. C., has sued Chase's theatre of that city, for $3,000 for a recent refusal to give her the seat her ticket called for. She will win, too. Fight for your rights! The cartoon on page one today is certainly a truthful story without words, for these latter are really unnecessary. The Gazette is indebted to the Montgomery (Ala.) Colored Alabamian for the use of the cut. Major Taylor won the match bicycle race in two straight heats in Boston, on the 29th ult., from John Bedell (white), who had been showing excellent form in his racing. The major is still not only the world's champion but a wonder. Our people should have only the one candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency—SENATOR FORAKER. They are practically a unit now, for him, and we sincerely trust, will remain so. That is the way to vln, and we can, and WILL. That Negroes were recently barred from a Bryan meeting or lecture in the south, is not surprising when one remembers the treatment (worse) of Afro-Americans right here in Cleveland—in the north if you please—a few weeks ago at the Tippecanoe Republican club Taft banquet. Philip Thorne, a Yale student, has sued a local theatre there, for a refusal to serve him, and will of course win his case. Sue for your rights when they are denied you. Always have, at least, one good witness, however. The only way to get your rights is to fight for them in the courts. Do this willingly and promptly. United States Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon recently entertained at Washington, D. C., three Afro-American journalists, one each from Kansas (his home state), Nebraska and Colorado, taking them to call on President "Brownsville" Roosevelt and Secretary "Disfranchisement-Jim Crow Car" Taft. That settled it—for the three. Wonder what federal jobs have been promised them! Joe Gans whipped "Spike" Robson (1980) in three rounds at Philadelphia last week Wednesday night. The latter is English, and was far and away outclassed by Gans who is matched to fight Battling Nelson, again, at San Francisco in May. Gans will make 133 pounds and Nelson will fight at catch weight. When this battle is over what remains of Nelson will be gone. Students got the body of James B. Parker, a powerful man, who beat Czolgosz to the ground trying to save President McKinley at Buffalo and was largely cheated out of the credit for the same by jealous government secret service men. He died penniless and insane, recently, in Philadelphia. Senator Hanna gave him a check for $1,000 and a position in the government service at Washington, D.C., which he failed to retain. Says the New York National Review: "Figures do not lie except when, like Hitchcock, one drives them." 'he figures, favorable to the Taft candidacy, published last week in many papers of the country were evidently "driven" overtime, and issued, by Taft-Boom-Manager Hitchcock and sent out from both headquarters—at Washington; D. C., and Columbus, Ohio. Little or no attention should be paid to them because they are so very far from being cor- rect and were purposely made so, as is indicated in the Review's comment quoted above. During last week forty-six delegates to the Republican national convention were elected. Of these only four were instructed for Taft, 16 for Cannon, 12 are uninstructed, and 14 are contested. Taft instructed delegates are from the Fifth Virginia district (Lilly White faction) and Second Kansas district. This week's showing was even worse for him. The Taft boom has spent its force. He cannot be nominated. This is now clear to the observing. Giving out interviews on the miserable "Jim Crow" car system of the south which his interstate commerce commission has made even worse by its harmful "decisions" not founded in good law; and appointing a few Negroes to tenth rate political jobs, will not in the least absolve President Roosvelt and Secretary Taft from full responsibility for their shameful treatment of "The Black Battalion" and their gratuitous insults to our people in their special messages to congress anent the Brownsville riot (so-called), in the winter of 1907. That sort of "jolly" has been worked on our people for the last time. Congressman Tom Heflin of the Tuskegee, Ala., district, has been sued for $20,000 by Lewis Lundy, the Afro-American, whom he kicked and shot in a Washington, D. C., car. March 27. The latter says he did not try to drink on the car; nor did he threaten to shoot Heflin for his insults and injury because he had no weapon on his person. Thomas McCreary (white) who was also shot by Heflin is critically ill at his home. It looks as if the liar and coward is to have all kinds of trouble in the courts before he has done with that street car "affray." "Shooting up" persons, even Negroes, in Washington, D. C., and Alabama, are two very different things, and Tom Heflin will soon appreciate this fact if he does not already. Our people at the nation's capital have very sensibly and properly interested themselves in the case and are materially assisting to teach a southern ass a much-needed lesson. More power to their kind. Hon. Henry T. Eubanks is authority for the statement (so Geo. W. Johnson of this city informs us) that the Tippecane Republican club refused W. Appo Johnson an invitation and ticket to its Taft banquet of some weeks ago, because he is an Afro-American. One thing sure and that is the Afro-American waiters were barred from the banquet hall while Secretary "Difranchissement-Jim Crow Car" Taft was speaking and at the close of his speech or the banquet, were asked to enter and shake hands with him—something only three or four out of about 40 would do. Afro-Americans have never been "popular" with the Tippecanoe club or Taft either, it seems. Mr. Lyman Treadway, the Taft "Republican" candidate for lieutenant governor of Ohio, is president of the club and must be thoroughly familiar with the continued (for years) ostracising of Afro-Americans by the Tippecanoe club. If memory serves us correctly, George A. Myers of this city, and other Afro-Americans, have received, in years gone by, the same treatment said to have been accorded Wappo Johnson recently. THE OHIO OUTBREAK. When an Ohio Republican congressman, friendly to Mr. Taft, refuses a renomination on the ground that the tactics of the Taft managers threaten to make Ohio Democratic and to lose the presidency and the next house, the secretary's friends certainly have reason to pause and consider their ways. It is undeniable that the Republican presidential canvass thus far has left an amount of personal hostility and bitterness in its wake quite unexcuseable. It is not the case that Ohio or in the south. The methods followed have been rough riding. Perhaps nothing else could have been expected when the administration set out to force a nomination. Not only has the federal machine been put to work offensively, which always causes resentment, but there have been intolerance and anger with those who refuse to obey orders. This may be a fine way to make a nomination, but a deal of explaining and conciliating will have to be done afterward if there is to be any hope of an election. Congressman Mouser's blunt statement that the Taft managers are throwing their arms at the arms of the Democrat is followed up by dispatches intimating that the secretary and the president, too, are disposed to call a halt in the policy of proscription. It seems high time it were done—New York Daily Post. The above is plain talk, but the TRUTH, and the sooner these facts are accepted, generally, the country over, by leading Republicans of all factions, and their future political course, governed accordingly, the better it will be for the Republican party and the country, between June and November of this year, and for four years, at least, thereafter. Congressman Mouser and the Post have certainly sized up, and correctly, too, the political situation in Ohio and the country from a Republican standpoint. A DOUBLE PROTEST. While many Republican papers are outspoken against the manner in which the bosses carried off everything at the state convention, t... Mansfield wood, owned by Pastmaster Cappeller, long the friend of Senator Foraker, questions the consistency of such papers in making a kick against the nominations when the rank and file say about the selection of the delegates to the state convention, who were picked out to do the bidding of Vorsy, the manager of the Taft campaign, who sought to make sure an indorsement of Secretary Taft, The News doesn't believe in any half-way doings when it comes to putting up a protect. It sees no difference between the bearing by which the delegates were selected to further the candidacy of Taft and the bossing by which Full-ghton, Denman and Green were nominated. It takes courage for the postmaster of Mansfield to speak out, that way, but then it would take more than a postoffice to hold Capella in a skiff if he fell disposed to kick over. Youngstown (O.)

OUR BISHOPS TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SEC. TAFT AND SPEAK RIGHT OUT Even so! Editor Cappeller is certainly right in all he has said. Likewise the Vindicator's comment on the same. It is an undeniable fact that an insignificantly small number of Republicans voted at the so-called (Taft) "state" primary which was so called by a coerced majority of the state committee as to practically disfranchise the great mass of Ohio Republicans who were and are still for Senator Foraker. Furthermore a few Taft boomer-bosses, and federal officeholders, selected delegates to the Taft "state" convention in many instances without the "trifling formality" of a primary or convention of any kind. And still one or two of our contemporaries have had the temerity to question our truthful statement that Ohio Republicans have never endorsed the Taft candidacy and that Ohio is not for him, but for Senator Joseph Benson Foraker! The only hope of the election of the state Republican ticket this fall rests in the nomination for the presidency of Senator Foraker at Chicago in June or that of some other Republican other than Roosevelt or Taft. The nomination of either of the two last named would bring defeat to the party by 50,000 as Mr. Capeller well said a week or ten days ago. GEO. B. COX HEARS FROM HOME. "Queen City" Afro-Americana, Like Nearly All Those of Ohio and the Entire Country, Will Not Support Taft. Cincinnati, O.-In answer to Geo. B. Cox's interview, as published in the Cincinnati Inquirer of March 24th, the undersigned desire to say for the Cincinnati Foraker Constitutional league that the Negro voters of Hamilton county and the state of Ohio, in the event Secretary Taft is nominated for presidency, will not support him at the election. Politicians, publicists, but because we are Republicans it does not follow that we are to support a candidate of the Republican party whose actions and deeds are inimical to our race. In the first place, contrary to what Mr. Cox says, the Negro voters of Ohio and the United States have many substantial reasons for opposing Secretary Taft. He has been a presidential candidate. But the negro movement of the Negro race in the south. Again, he upheld the president's action in 45missing "The Black Battalion," although he knew it to be wrong. These two reasons, of themselves, would seem to the average mind to be sufficient cause for a rejection of Mr. Taft as a presidential candidate. But the above mentioned acts and had never done or said anything against the Negro, should we not support the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, who steadfast, fighting for our constitutional rights—the only man who took up the cause of those outraged black patriots. The leaders of the Republican party in this and other states just as much as that the Negro voter is getting tired of voting for emblems. The time has come when he must, the same as other races, vote for men and principle, rather than for emblems and parties. We stand for the men who stand for us. We will fight persistently the efforts of any man, set of men or parties, who have for their purpose the greatest soldier, statesman and patriot the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker. JOHN S. FIELDING, Pres. EDWARD JOHNSON, Sec. Dirty and Low. The attack made by The Cleveland Journal (Toilet-Paper) upon Senator Foraker was very much uncalled for, and in a letter to The Record, the senator disavows any knowledge of the alleged story. We were in sympathy with this journal during the recent election for mayor in Cleveland, Ohio, and lent whatever feeble support we could to our candidate, but to rake up a lot of rot which occurred long before the writer knew what a voter in Ohio had done, and to stand. Then to attempt to tell the colored voters of Ohio that Senator Foraker is inimical to their interests after his many defense of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry, is the most unparadonable act of that paper—Washington (D. C.) Record. Prof. DuBois on Bryan. It looks like Bryan and Taft. In that case the black voter must do some thinking. Personally, Bryan's record on the Negro is clear. He has made few, if any, specific references to the problem. Yet, even in this, he is infinitely better than Taft, whose North Carolina speech - said: the Negro is out of politics; the Republicans are willing to keep him out, therefore "forget him." As between the two men Bryan is certainly preferable to the coward of Brownville. As to paremen, Bryan is not the Republican party one for the Negro? About as much as the Negro has done for the Democratic party, and about as much as the Republicans are doing for us. If the Republican party insults the black man by nominating Taft, vote for Bryan.-Alexandria (Va.) Horizon THE FORAKER NATIONAL LEAGUE. (Continued from First Page.) a full and free expression. Districts and states with an overwhelming sentiment in favor of Senator Foraker are in danger of being represented as against him. We call upon friends throughout the country to aid us to the end that the delegates from the southern states, who are unquestionably and avowedly in favor of the senator, shall be able to hold their conventions, elect their delegates and vote for the man of their choice. Man Shot by Heflin Has Locklaw. Washington, D.

Crankshaw (white) of Crestline, O. was arrested last week, charged with embezzling funds from the estate of two Afro-Americans by the name of Martin. The appointment of S.

His death, to rare disease known as vitiligo, a nervous allment, which caused his change in color and ultimately weakened his heart. He has a sister, married and living in Alleghey. The "Jim Crow" sentiment in Oklahoma is so strong that recently in Shawnee, where 40 white and two Afro-American doctors were being examined for a state license, the latter were placed in a room to themselves by the examiners and an Afro-American porter assigned to the room. Our physicians made as good a record as the others in spite of the shameful discrimination. The Taft men in the south are the federal office holders. They are things who do not think but eat; whose bellies are their gods. Senator J. B. Foraker is the man for the Negroes to vote for in the coming election, and he can't vote for him because he will vote for Bryan, that they may be felt by the party to which they have clung so long—Nashville (Tenn.) Monitor, Organ of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union. Sabak el-Cher, bandmaster of the crown prince's regiment of First Grenadier guards, at Berlin, Germany, obtained satisfaction in court for criticism passed on him by one Eric H. Peterson, who wrote a letter to the Ziehlbeck, it was said it was a shame that a black man should be placed in authority over white men in a crack regimental band. Sabak has been complimented by Emperor William on the excellent performances of his band. Senator Foraker has done an incalculable service to the colored people of this country, and they owe him a long and grateful that will take them a long way to White men asks at their hands should be gladly and quickly rendered. They owe it to him to stand by him and aid him as far as possible to secure the nomination at Chicago when the national convention meets. Like the immortal three hundred and five that stood before him to the end, no matter who is nominated—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. If Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the Negroes as a whole will vote for either him or Mr. Taft if nominated, he is a badly deceived man. For this one time if never before, the Negro is united against any man brought out by the administration. So greatly are they opposed to Taft that if he is nominated, he will not be elected. The Negroes will vote for any candidate in preference to Roosevelt or Taft, ardman and Tillman not exerted. Outwardly the Republican nomination for the presidency is Joseph B. Foraker. He is our only choice. A second choice we leave to the judgment of the time-servers and cowards and hypocrites who are about to destroy the Republican party—Richmond (Va.) Reformer. The disfranchisement laws of the south have never been brought to the U. S. supreme court in a way that the judges of that court would be compelled to render a decision pro or con. In every case the real question has been clouded in some way so that the court could render a decision and yet not touch the real status of the case. And as it has been, with the "Jim Crow" car laws. It is high time the Negroes of this country should subordinate every other question but this one of their rights, get down to the bottom. It is high time the supreme court of this country in such a way that it would have to decide either that the constitution is wrong or that these discriminating laws are wrong. It can be safely set down that the Republican party has gone as far into this matter as it will go, at least for the present. — Baltimore Afro-American. It makes little or no difference which way the Berea college case which was argued in the U. S. supreme court last week is decided, for the management of that institution has decided and announced its policy of conducting it as it is, for white students alone. It is also clearly understood that the trustees of Berea will establish an annex in the state, with industrial features made prominent, for colored students. This is the case in the case of Mr. Carnegie. There is little hope held out that this annex will be like the Berea to which colored students looked with bright hopes in the past, for the HIGHEST and BEST education. There is no objection to industrial education but it is to be regretted that there is a possibility, if not a probability, of the new Berea being stripped of those hallowed associations and aspirations which were associated with the names of Fee and Fairchild, of blessed memory in connection with the history of that institution. The arguments before the supreme court for Berea were not acceded by these heroes and it is not encouraging to admit that even if they are approved by the court, that they not again be made a part of the history and policy of that great school—Louisville (Ky.)

TAFT AND SPEAK RIGHT OUT IN A RESOLUTION AND AN ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY, THAT MAKE LOYAL AFRO-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 February 18, 1908, 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 when the event took place. "The we enter now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done 'The Black Batallion' 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 pliant and cowardly 'demonment given by Mr. Secretary Telford to the huge 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 movement by the present administration, of the unmerited and illegal punishment that 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. churches, of the United States, in conference assembled in the city of Washington, do hereby raise our voice in stern and solemn warning to the coming Republican national convention to ask in nomination for the presidency either President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of having arrayed against either of those gentlemen at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the north." They also issued the following Address to the Country. Signed by the following bishops: J. W. Hood, T. H. Lomax, C. R. Harris, R. S. Williams, E. Cottrell, J. W. Alstork, J. A. Handy, W. B.

That the president of the United States would carry his hatred of Senator Foraker to the extent of using federal patronage for the procurement of delegates for Secretary Taft was not thought possible. But the attempt to have confirmed by the senate men for federal positions known by the president to be pro-Taft forces us to believe that such is the case. Nor would this in itself be bad, but for the fact that the president cherishes an undying hatred, so unbecoming in any man who stands at the head of a great nation like ours against Senator Foraker. True, meanwhile, Senator Foraker has pursued for forty years, stands out for the right and insists that no man shall be permitted, unchallenged, to use the powers of his office for the improper support of his friends. Hence, in consonance with this view, he very properly deflected the confirmation of a senator, Federal Poplar, which was sent to the senate by the president. We hope the president has learned the lesson to be drawn from such a contest—Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. Chinese Make Boycott Far-Reaching Chinese Make Boycott Far-Reaching, Canton, China.—The present boycott against the Japanese, arising out of the trouble between Japan and China over the seizure and subsequent release of the Tatars, is apparently rapidly. Mass meetings have been held with the object of impressing upon the Chinese the necessity of making the boycott of Japanese products and manufactures as far-reaching as possible.

He was captured on the steps of the bank while attempting to pass the money to a confederate. The confederate fled before the money reached his hands and the crowd captured the money-snatcher.

Before it went down the deck, the crew closed the doors, and the steers made a dach for safety. About 15 of them got clear of the float before it went down, but the others were drowned. Joseph Larax, the convict who escaped from Sing Sing prison last Monday, was captured late Wednesday in Brooklyn. AFTER 25 YEARS A MAN'S NAME IS CLEARED. He Was charged With Murder but All of the Witnesses Have Since Died. Kingston, N. Y. — In some western city, the name of which is scrupulously guarded, lives a prominent and respected citizen from whom the supreme court of New York Wednesday removed the stigma of an indictment which was returned 26 years ago and charged John Taylor with the death of Thomas Murray. The present member of Taylor beheaded under which he has since lived, married and risen to the head of a big mercantile establishment are known to but three men here and his secret will be kept. Taylor's identity was made known by him to the court after a search for him which covered two continents and took several years had been abandoned. Throwing himself on the mercy of the prosecutor, Taylor invited an inquiry into his life for the past 25 years. This was made and so satisfactory that Supreme Court and its district attorney obtained the indictment against Taylor, declared that it would be gross injustice to reveal the man's new name. Today Justice Howard of Troy, sitting in the supreme court, dismissed the indictment against Taylor after it had been shown that all possible witnesses against the defendant were mitigated the case, and present District Attorney Cunningham seconded the action of the court. Only Justice Howard, Mr. Clearwater and Mr. Cunningham, have known of the facts in the case. Ex-Justice Clearwater said tonight. The indictment of Murray was a case of love, rum and politics. Manslaughter, which was charged, could not be proven now. Taylor has made a new home and won an honored name. He is at the head of a big manufacturing establishment in the west, has a wife and six children, all of whom are in the same character is above reproach and it would be an outrage to revive the story now." MOTHERS STORM BUILDING Rumor by "Black Hand" that School house Would Be Blown Up Causes Panic. Newark, N. J. —A rumor that a big public school in the Italian section was to be blown up by Black Hand blackmailers as an act of revenge for failure of parents of pupils to pay tribute resulted in a panic Wednesday in which two children were injured. The school was closed for the day before the trouble was ended. The school was in session when a great throng of excited women, shouting and gesticulating, gathered in front of the children he sent out at once. The principal telephoned for police assistance but before the help arrived the women had broken down the gates and forced their way into the building. The excited mothers rushed into the building and upstairs, screaming and calling for their children by calling for the pupils that they got entirely beyond control of the teachers and ran from their classrooms into the halls. In the wild scramble of mothers and children down the stairs many of the little ones were thrown down and upon two and were seriously hurt. A SEVEN YEARS' SENTENCE Quick Justice Meted Out to Four Policemen Charged With Robbing Business Places. Philadelphia, Pa. — Quick justice was met out here to the four policemen who were arrested on Saturday for robbing stores and warehouses on the beats which they patrolled in the wholesale district. Having been indicted early on Wednesday on charges of "entering without breaking, with intent to commit a felony," "larceny," "receiving stolen goods" and "conspiracy," the accused pleaded guilty before Judge Kinsey and were sentenced to serve seven years each in the eastern penitentiary. The policemen are John W. Straub, R. John Kelly, C. Luckenbill and R. R. Sithene. With them in the conspiracy to rob were Harry Rothenberger, aged 19 years, whose arrest on a charge of larceny unearthed the plot, and W. A. Frost, a plumber, in whose place the men divided the proceeds of the robberies. Frost and Rothenberger, who were arrested with the policemen, were guilty and were also sentenced. Being sent to the penitentiary for four years, while Rothenberger was committed to Huntingdon reformatory.

Tom, it will be remembered, was expelled a few years ago from the Twelfth Ward Afro-American club for supporting democratic candidate (Hubbell) for the civil war in that country, even more questionable "political" conduct. He has been a Tom Johnson supporter, etc., etc. Mr. and Mrs. James H. Starkey of Bell avenue left Monday for Chicago and St. Louis, en route to Los Angeles, California, where they will locate for a year with a hope of finding a new home, but recently recovered from the last of several severe attacks of pneumonia, rheumatism, etc., in recent years, and hopes the change will be helpful to both him and his wife. Their many friends here, in the old home, wish them best in every way, and a them to city in the strong and even more prosperous. They have rented their home. Dr. J. M. Gilmere, P. E., of the western district of the North Ohio Conference of the A. M. E. church, spent a few days here at home last week and paid The Gazette sanctum a pleasant call. The elder is in good health and hopeful of the very best prevailing in church and political affairs. He is more positive than ever and loves hope for the triumph of Senator Foraker. At the general conference of his church, to be held soon in Norfolk, Va., to which he is a delegate, he looks for wise and judicious legislation and action, and will offer several bills in the interest of "the rank and file" ministers and the church in general. Rev. Gilmere is not only a true race man, but an ex-convict, who is found on the episcopal policy, is close to increasing the number of bishops and stands for those who have the Divine call. Mr. L. Pulley of Lorain was in the city Monday and called on The Gazette. With his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Burris, of Wakeman, he was refused service on December 15 in the dining room of the "five and ten cent store" on Ontario street, next to the May Co. Mr. Pulley conferred with Senator W. T. McCormack, a suit under our Ohio civil rights law. Rev. Dr. Charles Bundy, P. E., of the eastern district of the North Ohio conference of the A. M. E. church was home recently and gave The Gazette a pleasant call. He reported his church work as being in an exceptionally satisfactory condition, all things considered, and is very anxious to see Senator Foraker succeed, not only in the Brownsville contest still under way, but also see him nominated as the Republ-Hean candidate for president at the Chicago convention in June. Elder Bundy believes in his people and therefore is intensely loyal. Sit Up and Take Notice! A new book for all speakers—"Beautiful and Wise Sayings," only 35 cents. This is on the square.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hundreds, yes, thousands, of operations performed upon women in our hospitals which are entirely unnecessary and many have been avoided by For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kirkman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham; "For eight years I suffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life. Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church Road, Moorestown N. J., writes: "I feel it it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong. FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache.

Subtle Meaning in Poet's Criticism of Decollete Costume. Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sleras, is something of a recluse and rarely comes into San Francisco, but when he does he is made a good deal of a lion. On his last visit he was one of the guests at a rather formal dinner at a friend's house where he stayed overnight. His hostess had known the poet since her childhood, so she felt privileged, next morning, to discourse to him of the beauties of the Parishian gown she had worn the night before—beauties which seemed to have escaped his observation. Mr. Miller listened to all that she had to say and remained silent. "But didn't you really like the dress?" pleaded the lady. "Well," replied the poet, "I did like part of it well enough." The lady brightened. "Indeed?" she said. "What part?" "The part you had on," answered the poet; and that ended the discussion—Lipincott's. SKIN TROUBLES CURED. First Had Itching Rash—Threatened Later With Blood-Poison in Log— Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "About twelve or fifteen years ago I had a breaking-out, and it itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have not been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had a gripe and pneumonia which left me with a pain in my side. Treatment ran it into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F. Hennen, Milan, Mo, May 13, 1907." SADLY MISTAKEN. Hubby (disgustedly)—The doctor is a fool. Wifey—What's the matter, dear? Wiley—What's the matter, dear? Hubby—He said I need exercise. The teacher instructed I would for a man who has looked after his own furnace all winter, and is now contemplating the opening of the lawn mower season! Good Advice. "I haven't any money," said the seedy wayfarer, "but if you'll row me across the river I'll give you an exceedingly valuable piece of advice when we reach the other side." The ferryman at last consented. As the traveler sprang up the opposite bank he rewarded the ferryman with the following bit of useful counsel: "Never take any one across who can't pay." Ate Sausages to Win Wife. When Heinrich was courting Mary he had a rival, one Johann Biermann. The two met one evening at her home and got into a dispute as to their capacity for frankfurters.

An outrage planned by the Black Hand society in Pittsburg, Pa., was frustrated the other day owing to the sagacity of a bulldog owned by a hotel proprietor. A man of suspicious appearance was in the very act of depositing a parcel in a window grating of the hotel, which is largely patronized by foreigners, when the dog seized him by the leg, and notwithstanding his struggles, refused to let go. The man was soon rescued from his exceedingly uncomfortable predicament, and it was then discovered that the parcel he had been carrying contained a bomb, with a time-fuse attached, sufficiently powerful to wreck the entire hotel, in which at the time there were about a hundred and fifty persons. He was immediately arrested. Cultivate. Repose. There is a lot of truth in the expression: "Power through repose" and a book written concerning it. When your nerves are relaxed and your mind at ease you have infinitely more grasp on the situation. A Flank Approach. "Sir, are you an optimist or a pessimist?" "What's that to you?" "Well, I kin generally interest an optimist for a small loan, but with a pessimist there isn't so much chanst." BUSHELS TO THE AGRE. HE REALIZED $18 PER ACRE FROM IT, WHILE OATS GAVE HIM $17 AN ACRE. Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1907. Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Mr. S. K. Rathway says: "I have much pleasure in saying that on my farm this year I had 500 acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats. My wheat averaged about 22 bushels per acre, and I had 200 acres cut before the frost, which I sold at 85 cents per bushel, thus realizing on that wheat $18.00 per acre, not counting cost of twine, seed and labor. With regard to the other 300 acres of wheat, it got touched with frost but is worth 60 cents per bushel. It will net me $13.00 per acre, but I do not intend to sell it at that price, as I can make more money by feeding it to hogs. "My oats turned out about 50 bushels to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel will give me $17.00 to the acre, not counting seed, twine and labor. "On account of the late spring, a percentage of the grain was touched with frost, but on account of good prices, farmers will realize a fair profit on their farms even this year. We are as usual up against a shortage of cars to get our grain removed." CAME AT INOPPORTUNE TIME. Community Just Then Looked with Disfavor on Wart Curers. "I have come into this wild country to tell my famous wart cure," announced the wandering faker. "Wall, stranger," drawled Amber Pete, "it would be advisable to leave by the next stage. The last man that introduced a wart cure in this section is dead." "Indeed! And what kind of a cure was it?" "Wall, he had some cotton in a satchel and he told the boys if they wanted to get rid of their warts all they had to do was to rub the warts with the cotton. It turned out to be gun cotton." "And did they get rid of the warts?" "They did, and they got rid of the wart doctor, also. That's his tombstone by the borax山庄. Don't step on it when you leave town, stranger, and see that you leave town early." "NONE BUT THE BRAVE." ETC. Voice (in a plaintive whisper)—Do! Just one, Maud! Watered Stock Edward R. Emerson, the president of the American Wine Growers' association, came from Washingtonville to New York the other day and lunched in a Broadway cafe with an editor. Mr. Emerson, naturally, is a connoisseur of wines. The editor deems himself something of a connoisseur, too, and introduced Mr. Emerson with some pride to a Rhine wine, presumably of the famous '95 vintage. "Well," he said, "how do you like this Rhine wine, Mr. Emerson? Delicious, don't you think?" "Not bad," said Mr. Emerson, "only I fancy there's a trifle too much Rhine in it." Gazetteer Humor. Many specimens of unconscious humor are received by the editors of that monumental work, the new Imperial Gazetteer of India. A district was said to be "an extensive rolling plain, consisting of alternate ridges of bare stony hills and narrow fertile valleys." An interesting item of natural history was afforded by the remark, "the buffalo differs from the cow in giving a which is richer in fat, in voice, in having no hump."-London Globe. Good Humor and Cheerfulness from Right Food. Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It dispels the clouds from the mind as sunlight chases away the shadows of night. The good humored man can pick up and carry off a load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift. Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition. "But I was young and did not want to die so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic illness. I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days before I could sit up in a chair. "I became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Postum. "The first cup, which I made according to directions, had a soothing effect on my nerves and I liked the taste. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides. I am today a healthy woman. "My family and relatives wonder if I am the same person I was four years ago, when I could do no work on account of nervousness. Now I am doing my own housework, take care of two babies—one twenty, the other two months old. I am so busy that I hardly get time to write a letter, yet I do it all with the cheerfulness and good humor that comes from enjoying good health. "I tell my friends it is to Postam I owe my life today." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in plains. "There's a Reason."

My l1m b weaken swollen twice natural size and my sight was weakening. The kidney secretions were d1s complaints for many years, and cannot tell what agony I endured from backache. My 11 mbs were swollen twice natural size and my sight was weakening. The kidney secretions were discolored and had a sediment. When I wished to eat my wife had to raise me up in bed. Physicians were unable to help me and I was going down fast when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. After a short time I felt a great improvement and am now as strong and healthy as a man could be.

Greatest care should be taken when painting buildings or implements which are exposed to the weather, to have the paint applied properly. No excellence of material can make up for carelessness of application, any more than care in applying it can make poor paint wear well. The surface to be painted should be dry and scraped and sandpapered hard and smooth. Pure white oil should be mixed with pure linenseed oil, fresh for the job, and should be well brushed out, not flowed on thick. When painting is done in this manner with National Lead Company's pure white lead (trade marked with "The Dutch Boy Painter") there is every chance that the job will be satisfactory. White lead is capable of absolute test for purity. National Lead Company, Woodbridge Building, New York, will send a testing outfit free to any one interested. A. Good Point. The critic is often hard put as he stands between the work he is asked to pass judgment upon and its complaisant creator. He cannot always get off so well as did the critic mentioned in the Baltimore American. "There are some consistent features of nature in this rural landscape," he said, as he scrutinized the picture. "What are they?" asked the anxious artist. "The brow of the hill, which, I see, is placed above the mouth of the stream," was the illuminating answer. —Youth's Companion. Not Running. A West Philadelphia woman had not heard the clock strike once during last Sunday afternoon, and thinking perchance it had stopped she sent her hopeful, a little boy about five years old, downstairs to see if it were running. The little toot went down on the errand, and after a hasty survey of the long pendulum swinging back and forth, he ran back to his mother with this information: "Why, no, mamma; the clock ain't runin', it's standin' still and waggin' its tail."

"When little Harold came," said the first mother, "his older brother Reginald was very curious about him. "Yes, Reggle, dear," I told him, 'the little baby is a Washington's birthday present to us from the angels.' "He frowned in thoughtful silence. Then he said: "Well, mamma, if we wrap him up carefully and put him away and don't use him, we can give him to somebody else next Washington's birthday, can't we?" The other mothers smiled and sighed. The second said: "On the er—advent of my little Mirlam, Hannah, our five-year-old, was taken upstairs by the cook to see the newcomer. "Hannah looked her little sister over sternly. Then, turning to the cook, she said: "Jane, you can keep that in the kitchen." Again the mothers smiled and sighed and nodded sadly. "Yes, it is always so" they said. 4. Staver. "Mildred," said the prudent mamma, "I want you to treat Mr. Ketchley, who called on you last evening, with some consideration and respect. He may not be particularly handsome or attractive, but he is sensible, well connected, highly successful in business, and is regarded as one of the coming men." "I wouldn't mind his being one of the coming men," said Miss Mildred, "if it didn't take him so long to go."
