METHODS OF PERFUMING HATS. Paper Box Lined with Silk Perhaps the Most Effective. The perfumed hat fad grows apace, and every milliner has her own way of doing it. "The essential thing," says one milliner, "is any kind of a box. But it must be large enough to hold the hat without crushing the feathers. One woman used a little tin ice chest which had been unused for a long time and was free from smell. A big white paper box can be set inside the tin one. Then comes the matter of scenting the paper box, which must be lined with alk. "The most successful scented hat box I ever saw was made of paper and there were four inside pieces of silk which served to line it. They could be removed. When filled with scent they were simply overpowering and the paper hat box was a bower of the richest sachet. And into this the hat was placed. "The cover was put on the paper box and the whole thing was set away in the tin chest. The chest being air-tight held the scents within. And so the hat became scented. It held its scent even in the wind for three months." PARISIAN "FLUFFY RUFFLES." A woman in a long dress and a large hat holds a parasol.

THE GAZETTE Filet Covers Are Pretty and by No Means Hard to Make. The woman who does not confine the cushions of her summer divans entirely to madras and washable cottonts should have one of the new fillet pillow covers which are much easier to make than they look. The pillows should be quite small and flat, about the size used in baby coaches and the covers made of alternate squares of fillet and hand embroidered linen, edged with Cluny lace, should button on that they may be often washed. Select for the linen squares an openwork design in which eyelet work predominates; use only enough of the satin stitch to make stems or a few dots. Do not have too much work on these squares; the main thing is to have them quite open to show the colored silk or mercerized pillow cover beneath. Even easier is one of the covers made from an entire fillet square that just fits the pillow. The cover may be alike on both sides, or, if that is too expensive, the underside may be of sheer lawn or of inexpensive fillet net. Some of the imitation fillet squares are very good looking and if dyed with tea to a creamy tint will make charming sofa pillows at comparatively little cost. Sometimes these covers are finished with a narrow overcased seam; more often they have an edge of Cluny put on flat, without gathering. The combination of these two laces is particularly effective. The Outdoor Girl's Gloves Unless you are a typical outdoor girl with a large income, do not invest in chamois shoes. The athletic girl who drives a great deal likes this large loose glove for rough wear, but they are not a good investment for the typical summer girl. They make the hand look large, and while they wash as clerks guarantee they will, like the chamois skin you use for cleaning windows, they have weak spots and wash through on the latter. A good silk glove is a far better investment, but do not be invigiled into buying brilliant blues, greens, purples and rose colors to match your silk or linen frock. White or soft shade of tan are in better taste; black gloves are hot in summer and should be worn by those in mourning only. The Cameo Popular. Cameos seem to be with us to stay. According to a recent fashion note, they are even being utilized for the drop earrings that are fashionable just at present, and the dainty effects are to be found in large and small pins, in belt buckles and in bracelets. Perhaps there is no more effective use for the cameo than in a bracelet set in jet or old gold. One beautiful design noted in one of the shops recently was wide carved jet setting for a most delicately carved cameo. Then there are large brooches which are exquisitely outlined, and even hatpins. That the cameo is extremely popular is demonstrated by the many imitations some of them exceedingly good, which are to be found. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. INVOKES RACEVOTE SENATOR FORAKER TELLS AFRO- AMERICANS TO DEMAND SUP- PORT OF BILL! TO PLEDGE ALL CANDIDATES I QUOTES PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AS COMPARING THE BLACK SOLDIER TO MURDER. ED 2007 BOOK The Senator Tells of the Necessity of Getting Sufficient Support to Pass His Soldier Bill Over Roosevelt's Veto—"The Afro-American's D.C." Washington, D.C.—Should our voters of the country follow the advice of Senator Foraker they will make Brownville a political issue in the campaign next fall and support for president and vice president and representative in congress only each candidate as pledge themselves to support him by abstaining from the army our innocent troops dismissed without honor by the president on account of the alleged "shooting up" of the Texas town in August, 1906. As those know who followed the course of the debate on the Brownville case in the senate this session, two bills were introduced—one by Mr. Foraker, providing for the reinstatement of the men without condition, because they were guiltless of the charge against them and the other Senator Warmer of Missouri, permitting them to back into the army if able to convince the president of their innocence. An Impossibility! Postponed Until December. Mr. Foraker made an effort to get a vote on his bill before the end of the session, but the senate managed to postpone action until next winter, agreeing to take it up the middle of December. Several days ago the Ohio senator received a letter from John E. Milholland of New York, chairman of the executive committee of the Constitution league of the United States, asking for information concerning the action of the senate. Senator Foraker has made public his reply, and in it incorporated some of the language used by the president in a letter to Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, which the latter refused to put into the record at the request of Senator Foraker. In that letter, according to Senator Foraker, the president said he was entitled to no more sympathy than Guiteau, who shot President Garfield, or Czolgosz, who assassinated President McKinley deserved. Senator Foraker's Letter. Mr. Foraker's letter to Mr. Milholland is as follows: "Dear Sir: I have your letter of May 18, and do not know how better to answer your inquiry in regard to the postponement of the Brownsville bill than by quoting from a letter written by me a day c or two ago to Mr. Richard D. White of Cambridge, Mass, in answer to a similar inquiry. "On this point I said to Mr. White: "With the president active in his opposition, personally importuning senators, I was unable to get a vote, even if I succeeded in getting the bill passed. I was unable to pass the bill if I did get a vote most I could get assurances of only thirty-five votes, and some of those were wavering. It was necessary to have forty-seven. Vote Then Meant Defeat Vote then meant Deck. "A vote at this time, therefore, meant death and end of all restoring the soldiers. Posthumous was better because, in the first place, it could not be worse; and, in the second place, it keeps the subject alive and in a practical form for consideration during the present campaign. The whole country knows that the Brownsville subject has been narrowed down to a question of py bill, which means complete restoration, or the Warner bill, which means the Warner bill of the president may see fit to show that, I am satisfied, would be very little, if anything. "As late as April 24 he wrote to Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan that he thought many, if not all, the soldiers guilty, and that there was no more excuse for them than there would be for sympathy with Czoligosz or Guiteau, and that my bill meant only to force a lot of murders back into the army, and that he wrote to me that I passed the bill to veto it, and if we passed it over his veto he would refuse to enforce it. Sure of Success Later. "I have no doubt of passing the bill in December, because enough Republicans have promised me that if I would allow the bill to go over until then they would at that time vote with me to pass it, but in view of the president's frame of mind, and his expressed purpose to veto the bill, we must, if possible, have a two-thirds vote, and this brings up a feature of the situation that will. I hope, enable us to get this additional strength. "If the bill had been voted upon and defeated at this session the colored voters of the country would not have any means of showing their displeasure, except by voting against the party in a spirit of revenge. "Now, with the bill postponed, they have at least a living issue, and they have this standing of Republican candidates for office, including our candidates for vice president, and all other candidates for re-election to the senate and to the house of representatives, that they will pledge themselves to support the Foraker bill.

When they come to realize their opportunity I think they will all be proud to take a direct and effective part in what should be to them a labor of love. I am a firm believer in the intervention of Divine Providence in the affairs of men. While postponement was to me a bitter and reluctant conclusion, yet I feel that, after all, it was of God's ordering, and that in due time we shall all see and appreciate that what now appears to be so disappointing and discouraging is for the best." "Hagging is a sign of loss from my letter to Mr. White will answer your inquiry, and that the answer may be satisfactory. I remain, very truly yours, etc., J. B. FORAKER."

The number of students enrolled this year is about the same as last year and for several years past. The boarding students have reached 1,621—1,085 young men, 536 young women. Counting students in Tuskegee town night school and the town cooking school, with children enrolled, in the "children's house" or training school for teachers, the total number is very near the 2,000 mark.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—The general assembly of the United Presbyterian church became involved in an animated discussion Tuesday of the racial question while considering the report of the board of Freedmen's missions, presented by Rev. Dr. J. W. Witherspoon, corresponding secretary of the board. Dr. J. W. Witherspoon, the president of the church, in the north, said Rev. Dr. D. S. Little. "What we do want is the church of Jesus Christ. The white and black attend our public schools together. Then why should they not attend God's house together?" This remark was called out by a resolution providing that Afro-American members of the United Presbyterian church were placed under the care of the presbyterian which they reside and that their churches be taken over by the board of home missions, the same as dependent white congregations. Rev. Dr. Carson, the moderator, explained that the intent of the resolution was to shepherd the Afro-American churches of the north as churches rather than as individual members. Rev. Dr. Carson said he understood the need people at the north prefer this plan. The resolution was adopted. (New York Sun, May 27, 1908.) The Negro mass meeting at Cooper Union last evening called by Bishop Derrick to show that the colored voters were not against Mr. Taft DID NOT RESULT IN ANY GREAT OUTPOURING OF NEGROES OR IN ANY GREAT DEMONSTRATION FOR MR. TAFT. WHILE THE SPEAKERS WERE ALL FOR TAFT THE CROWD WAS FOR FORAKER. SENATOR DICK ON SENATOR FOR AKER. Washington, D. C.—Recently Senator Dick, Ex-Senator Chandler, and others addressed a mass meeting at Galbraith A. M. E. church. Both praised Senator Foraker highly. "The sacrifice Senator Foraker has made in taking the part of the Negro in the Brownville affair, and the work he has imposed upon the clerics Senator Dick," make him worthy to rank as a fitting successor to that noble statesman from Massachusetts, Charles Summer." "Senator Foraker wants to see justice done the Negroes," exclaimed former Senator Chandler, "because, having fought side by side with colored soldiers in the civil war when he was a lieutenant, he knows that they are being treated with respect." Senator Dick also said the Republican party did not write the plank in the Ohio platform which ignored the fifteenth amendment. "If the Negro voter proves a traitor today and deserts his valiant support, Senator Foraker," said R. R. Horner, "the Negro does not deserve suffrage. But I do not believe there is one who will betray his trust. There is no one who can be colored man to vote the Democratic ticket if the Republican party meets us half way and refuses to nominate Taft or Roosevelt." Olean, N. Y., Notes G. H.

For President Senator J.B. Foraker Be sure to read carefully Senator Foraker's letter on page 1. There is certainly a lot of Taft "rot" being published in daily newspapers of the country these days, in a vain effort to infuse new life in his dying boom. It is now up to the Afro-American Presbyterians to explain. See Pittsburg letter elsewhere in this paper. We cannot accept or reject Moderator Carson's statement until they do. The Detroit Informer's second special souvenir edition, May 30, was a "dandy." Editor Warren and his able assistants, especially Mrs. M. E. Warren, manager, are certainly hustling to some purpose these days. Best wishes. The Spokane (Wash.) Citizen, a newcomer, started off badly with nearly a column editorial on "Senator Foraker and The Negro Vote," which has hardly a line of truth in it with the exception of the statement that "Senator Foraker has a strong hold on the Negro vote," etc. Every Afro-American in Cleveland will be proud of St. John's new church when it is completed this fall. The pastor, Rev. I. A. Collins, has certainly done wonderfully well thus far, and he has had some barriers to wipe away that seemed as stable as Gibraltar. Bishop Derrick has shown excellent judgment in re-appointing him to this charge and the splendid results have proven it. If The Gazette's prophecy as to how Negroes will vote, in the event of Roosevelt or Taft's nomination, comes as near to fulfillment as did its prediction on the election, a short time ago, of a state senator from the Cleveland district. Mr. Taft may rest his soul in peace—Charleston (W. V. L.) Advocate. The editor of our contemporary who wrote the above is dreaming as usual. We made no "prediction on the election, a short time ago, of a state senator from the Cleveland district," but did predict mayoralty candidate Burton's defeat last fall. The last election of state senators from the Cleveland district was held nearly three years ago. Wake up! conflere Taft's soul will rest in peace alright after the Chicago convention just as it is now. Everybody, with the exception of the editor of The Advocate admits his one chance of being nominated has "gone glimmering." Wonder when the Taft subsidy reached The Advocate's office? While Editor Glimer was in Washington, D.C., recently? But a few weeks ago it was strong for Foraker and apparently as bitterly opposed to the Taft candidacy as nearly all the rest of the loyal Afro-Americans were and still are. DOING PENANCE FOR BROWNS VILLE. Only one objection will be urged against the Warner Brownsville bill which has been introduced in the senate. The reparation which it offers is rather late in coming. This bill proides that members of the discharged officers of the Army are when the president is satisfied that they had no part in the disturbance. And they will be paid from the time of their discharge. As only a few members of the three companies have been accused of participation in the outbreaks, and as there has been no evidence that any of them is in it, this atonement which is now proposed looks somewhat mild. In the summary of the Warner bill which is sent out there is a vagueness which is not pleasing. Members of the battalion will be restored to the army rolls just as soon as they satisfy the president that they had no part in the affray. But how much evidence on that line will be needed to satisfy the president? If he is of the same mind now that he was when he discharged the soldiers, and if he has the same mind that he had at the time of his recent message, it might be pretty hard for any of the accused men to satisfy him of the innocence. The evidence which was brought out in the various inquiries which have taken place must satisfy him. Retuval to "peach" on their comrades is dictated by an unwritten law of the American army which radiates from the government's military school to the remotest outpost in Alaska, the Philippines or Samoa. The boy at West Point learns it before he was a --- chance to learn the manual of arms. The inferner in an American military camp is as discredited among his comrades as is the same sort of a person among Irish insurgents. Mr. Roosevelt himself knows how this is by the elaborate precautions which were taken in Cuba to conceal the initiator of the round robin of 1898. By disliving 167 men for 167 hours, the vulve the manmil a dozen of their culprit conrades—providing all of their comrades were culprits—most of whom probably did not know who the culprits were, and by branding all these innocent men as outlaws, the president and the secretary of war did them a wrong for which this eleventh hour penance will not fully atone. It is safe to say that white troops in their place would have received much discipline than this. Still the reparations measure has hardly tardy and meager measure of justice should be rendered—St. Louis Daily Globe-Democrat (Repub.) Yes, "the reparation bill." Foraker's, however, and not Warner's, ought to and will pass this fall because it does not require that the soldiers "satisfy the president that they had not part in the affray" in order to get back into the army, and because it restores them, with all the rights, privileges, money, etc, as far as it is possible to do so, lost as a result of their outrageous discharge without honor by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. We call attention particularly to the concluding dozen lines of the Globe Democrat editorial reprinted above. In spite of it's name, the paper is a strong Republican publication, with a pronounced leaning toward the president and his secretary of war. HUSTLING FOR THE "BAND WAGON." The Afro-Americans in this country are never going to amount to much so long as it has a subsidized or one-sided press; that is to say, if the Negro press has the influence it is supposed to have. A large number of Negro papers throughout the country are now falling over each other to see which can get into the "band wagon" first, led by the New York Age. Why cannot we have an independent press? The Negroes of the south have suffered all sorts of things at the hands of the Democracy of the south, with northern and western Republicans quietly looking on and simply sighing and saying: "Well we will just have to let the south have its way with us," and "I will be the least." Mr. McKinley went south and his whole demeanor changed toward the Negro. When he died, the Negro believed it a dispensation of Providence that threw Theodore Roosevelt into the White House. When he dined Booker T. Washington, every Negro in the land was ready to throw up his hat and yell until he was out of breath, because he believed there was in the seat of power in Washington a man who would see to it that equal and exact justice was done to the Negro, because to its success compelled submit to a fair and honest administration of the laws of the country. When the statement was made that the president believed in a "square deal" for all men, there was more hurrahing; and when he made the statement, "All men up and not some men down," their cheering rent the air and the ground, and they were Mr. Roosevelt went south and was wined and dined, and in honor of his wife, a replica of the house in which his mother lived was built and sent to the Jamestown exposition. Mr. Roosevelt returned from the south a changed man. Like his predecessor, he was a man of honor and a fence. Then followed the Brownsville shooting, the sending of Gen. Garlington to investigate, and the promulgation of the president's infamous order discharging, without honor, the Negro troops without the leastsemblance of a trial, and prohibiting them from any office of profit or trust under the government of the United States. The howl that went up from every part of the country save the south has not stopped ringing in the ears of the people of this country yet. But it had no effect upon the president, and it was only after the most urgent appeals did he modify his order in refrence to the army. But the south clapped its hands in glee, and went wild over the president's order, and then went so far as to make an effort to rid of every Negro soldier in the army. We all remember the sending of the Negro soldiers to West Point to be servants for the West Point cadets, and yet with it all there are found today more than one supposedly influential Negro newspaper in the Roosevelt Taft "band wagon." The New York Age goes so far as to say that we must either take Taft, or Tillman, or Vardaman. We do not take to have take. If we decide not to support the big secretary if he is nominated, we can go into the Independence league or into the Socialist party or into the Temperance party. There are parties enough to support without supporting either of the old ones. Moreover, what is the difference in supporting a friend that will stab you in the back, or an enemy who will openly stab you before your face? Of course, it is not for us to point the way to so influential a journal as is the New York Age, but we do say that there is no hurry about this matter. Let us wait awhile and see.—Baltimore Afro-American. Since the above was written, some weeks ago, the publication of a number of subsidized Taft sheets has been discontinued, and there has been a noticeable disposition upon the part of others to get out of the Taft "band wagon." This has been particularly true of the last two weeks! Some of them have made themselves extremely rediculous with their "hustling" into and out of the now derelict Taft "band wagon." Our esteemed conferee of the Baltimore Afro-American's case against Taft and Roosevelt is so ably stated that we indorse every line of its editorial, republished above, and commend it in the strongest possible manner to all of our readers.

The Brownsville "Affray" Illustrated COLLORED SMOTHERS MIDMIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOR OF MORE TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY NECK TO BOOSEVELT WHO KICKS THEM IN! TAFT CANNOT BE NOMINATED THAT IS NOW ESTABLISHED BEYOND ALL QUESTION OR DOUBT. WILL LACK NEARLY 200 VOTES Of Enough to Nominate Him—History Will Repeat Itself as Usual —True Situation as to Delegations. Of Washington, D. C.—The press bureau of the anti-Taft interests, known as the allies, have given out the following: "An analysis of the final tabulated statement issued by the management of the Taft presidential campaign is all that is necessary to prove that the secretary of war has not enough votes to nominate, now that all the delegates Chicago convention have been elected. "In this statement 584 votes—93 more than a majority—are claimed for Taft. Admittedly there are included in this number 126 contested votes. As a matter of fact, the number of contested votes will reach nearly 200. In addition 80 uninstructed votes are included in the Taft computation, reducing the number of instructed and uninstructed votes for Taft to little more than 300. "Every uninstructed delegate signifies the failure of an effort to instruct for Taft, and the failure of such effort implies that even back of an indorsement of Secretary Taft was a doubt as to whether or not his nomination would be approved in the convention meets at Chicago to deliberate on the state of the party. History in Next Thirty Days "The realization that the Taft managers, even after having procured the assistance of the captains of predatory wealth, have been unable to push their candidate over the line, coupled with the Republican party's highly developed instinct of self-preservation, will help make history in the next 30 days. "The efforts of the Taft managers are naturally being centered upon the creation of the belief that Secretary Taft has enough votes to nominate. The greater the anxiety and uncertainty on this point, the bigger the noise. "History will repeat itself at Chicago. No pre-convention favorite ever won a nomination for president in a Republican convention since the founding of the party, excepting William McKinley, and back of him was a tidal wave of popular sentiment which is not surging for Secretary Taft; and the officers, and beaten by the people, Seward had two-thirds of the delegates to the convention of 1860 pledged. Blaine was within 26 votes of a nomination on the first ballot in 1876—nearer than Secretary Taft will be." Machine-Made Candidacy. "The fatal weakness of the Taft candidacy is that it is absolutely machine-made product, not vitalized by popular sentiment. Its bandwagon is loaded down with men who will jump over the moment the vehicle shows a sign of stalling, and the sign is in sight. "The Chicago convention will make a nomination not the product of intimidation, not the result of cowardice on the part of party leadership, not in impacts in a hundred congressional districts, and a dozen northern and border states, and not imposing upon the Republican party the necessity of proving that the support of predatory wealth has not been secured for the candidacy at the sacrifice of the politician in the progressive wing of the Republican party has led to believe it represents. notify us at once if your Gazette fails to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

Our purpose is to assist in writing the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. 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, Vardaman and Tillman not excepted. Our first choice for the Republican nomination for the presidency is Joseph B. Foraker. He is only choice. A second choice we will be the adjudicator of the time servers and cowards and the power who are about to destroy the Republic can party.—Richmond (Va.) Reformer. Senator Foraker has done an inexcusable service to the colored people of this country, and they owe him a debt of gratitude that will take them long time to pay. However he left his hands behind, should he and quickly rendered. They owe him 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 Gen. Brant, they should stand by him the entire no matter who is nominated. Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American can. TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SECRETARY TAFT. And Speak Right Out in a Resolution That Makes 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 at that time; "That we enter now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done 'The Black Battallion' by President Roosevelt when he discharged his 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 incarceration given by Mr. Secretary Taft to the huge injustice of the president Senator J. B. Foraker. "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 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. 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 not to put 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."

Senator Foraker's explanation of the reasons which animated him in dropping the bill for the restoration of the colored soldiers this session states the case in such clear terms that there should be no misunderstanding on the subject. Owing to the conditions prevailing in the senate the votes for the bill in the last instance, could not be obtained, while it was perfectly well understood that even if the bill were passed by both houses it would be vetoed. In order to secure results the advocates of the measure must have at their command a two-thirds strength in both houses. This could not be obtained and the choice lay between pressing the measure or allowing it to be for possible success next winter, when the exigencies of party politics will have become less acute. Those American people who have been enabled to see this case in a clear light realize that gross injustice has been done and realize that the only cure for it is the restoration to the army of the dismised soldiers, thereby cancelling the record of disgrace which has been written against them by the arbitrary process of wholesale dismissal. As long as these men are denied the privilege of recollection they remain stamped before the world as criminals. They are not being held accountable to man has brought accusations against any one of them individually. They have been simply swept aside as undesirable on the strength of a suspicion. The Brownsville case will retain its vitality. An injustice always remains a living issue, and Senator Foraker loses nothing by the postponement which in his judgment is the only possible move at this time. There should be a restitution, be hesitation in the senate or house on the part of those who believe that the Brownsville soldiers have been harshly treated and who are in their hearts advocates of their restoration. They should be ready to vote now to restore the men on terms granting them a clean bill of credit. The senator in circumstance which Senator Foraker must deal with in such manner as his knowledge of the tactical requirements of the case allow—Washington (D. C.) Daily Star.

The Modern Trolley By GUY WETMORE CARRYL Naturally, there is only one person for whom I am qualified to speak, but so far as he is concerned, he infinitely prefers to walk rather than to stand—which latter, all said and done, is about all that riding amounts to nowadays. That does not alter the fact, however, that, with the coming of automobiles and rapid transit of one kind or another, Shank's Mare is going out of fashion, together with other equines. Modern society is well-nigh as shy of using its legs as it is of talking about them; and presently, if we go on at this rate, these hitherto useful appendages will have become, before we know it, merely rudimentary and our arms abnormally developed and strengthened as a result of hanging on straps, as are those of our alleged ancestors, the anthropoid ape, as a result of hanging on branches. I use the word "alleged" advisedly. Surely there is little enough to be proud of in the contemplation of the average family tree, without chasing back some millions of years for the purpose of populating it with the unsympathetic and avowedly plain-featured chimpanzee! We may have descended from the branches but from the anthropoid ape? Perish the thought! Admitting the need of public conveyances, which one is compelled to do so long as babies, bundles and locomotor ataxia continue to flourish, is not to admit the need of their manifold inconveniences. For it is manifest that we are working out the problem of transit by the process of multiplication of the public to be provided for and of addition, if not subtraction, of the accommodations. That is no kind of arithmetic. Already, rapid transit is walking with a limp. Sooner or later it will be going around on one leg. E pluribus unum is a very noble sentiment. The same cannot be said of plures in uno—particularly if the uno be a public conveyance We Americans are notoriously good-natured and long-suffering, but there is such a thing as carrying good nature to the extreme. At present it is pertinent to inquire whether we are prepared to stand anything and everything from the companies who pretend to transport us in comfort from one place to another. Apparently we are; and the mightier the company, and the more modern the conveyance, the more we stand. The which is no mere idle figure of speech. But let us lay bitterness aside. For to recommend a more consistent and constant use of our legs does not of necessity mean that we should be eternally kicking. Let us, on the contrary, strive to see wherein lies the compensation for the discomfort attendant upon the intimate proximity of unlimited numbers of our fellow-men. This will most certainly not prove to be a mere wild goose chase. Whatever it may be in the way of injustice, a discomfort and an imposition, your crowded trolley is a feefield field for the study of human nature. Primarily, it teaches you that, whatever your lack of beauty may be, it cannot compare with that of others. If it is true that beauty is only skin deep, it is plain that beauty, like the eel, has become used to being skinned. The operation has been performed, with consummate efficacy and dispatch, upon the faces of an overwhelming majority of those who one meets in the average trolley. This is undeniably true, but none the less unchallable. After all, they can't help it, the poor things! But, then, after all, one can't help being unchallable. It's more comfortable than the other thing. Charity, you know, suffereth all things. That's a pretty hard load on the shoulders of charity! To come back to our fellow-troller-ers—place aux dames! The ladies—bless 'em—are not to be judged by appearances. Were they, we should arrive at the conclusion that not one in fifty of those who board a trolley has the most remote conception of where she is going, or how to get there. They scramble on with an eagerness which seems to suggest that this particular car is the last which will ever pass, and when they have recovered breath (I am merely a man: I cannot know how this is done in the case of a woman, but it seems to be accomplished by turning her vell up across her nose), they appeal to the conductor: "Does this car go to Asterisk avenue?" "Yes, madam." "Oh, pahaw! Please let me off at the next corner!" They depart with an air of wronged innocence, leaving their fellow-passengers consumed with curiosity to know whether their object in getting on was to be taken somewhere as a surprise, an object at once defeated by learning the name of their destination. Such evidence of instability is fatal to contemplated matrimony, and someone is always contemplating matrimony—even in a trolley. The latter has confirmed more bachelors than the supposedly sage advice of Punch. Provided she remains, the fair passenger has to consider the question of annexing a seat, for a trolley with a seat already available is a trolley unworthy of the name. The woman of experience makes a rapid survey of the field. At once to be eliminated from her calculation are the Italian laborer, the fat man with a newspaper, and the Irish woman's child. The first wouldn't if he could, the second couldn't if he would, and the mother of the third has something for which she has not paid. All three are satisfied. They have no further ambition; and it is the class without ambition which is not apt to rise, or cause to rise. There remains the awkward youth, with ill-fitting clothes, searching a well-worn Euclid with near-sighted eyes. It is harder to give up Euclid than his seat, but he does both, with a sigh. He is never so near-sighted that he cannot see a woman standing. There remains, also, the man escorting another woman. He yields his place promptly. He does not dare to retain it. And this is the only instance in which one woman has cause to be grateful for what another woman will think! Falling these, there remain yet others. The white-haired gentleman with an old-fashioned air; the employee of the road, who has no right to be there at all; the well-brought-up little boy; and the nervous old lady, who is looking over her shoulder to see if she has passed her street, and is liable to get off at any moment. All these are possibilities, if not probabilities; but if it is to be by deliberate sacrifice, and not mere chance, that our lady gets her seat, she must be pretty, or white-haired, or burdened with a baby. Otherwise, she stands not the ghost of a show. Apropos of the fair sex, how extraordinarily hard it is to find! Even in connection with the remote gold fields of the Klondike, the fact that a pocket has been discovered calls for extended notice in the daily press! But a woman's pocket is an old, old joke, and too true to be good. One wonders, nevertheless, whether they ever read the alleged comic journals. It is in the highest degree improbable that they do. Else how were it possible for them to continue, year after year, getting on and off backwards, searching desperately for their pockets, and clamoring for the privilege of paying each other's fars—things which every observant eye is watching for, and which happen as inevitably as sunrise. These peculiarities form a solid foundation for the jests reared upon them, and a solid foundation is precisely what most jokes lack. The mother-in-law, the young wife's biscuit, the impossible janitor, the sleeping policeman, the dime novel of the messenger boy, etc., etc, ad infinitum, have to a great extent passed out of the world of reality as material for festing. What ever they may have been, now, at "Does This Car Go to Asterisk Avenue?" least, they are dead—laughed to death—and the scribe who has recourse to them is frankly a distorter of fact. But the woman in the public conveyance is perennial. She continues to do the same convulsive things over and over, shamelessly, and apparently in profound innocence of the fact that she is a humorous entity. No, evidence she skips the jester's column! Those desiring to make an elevated train will find the following recipe useful: Take one trolley car, multiply its capacity by four and its contents by eight, pack tightly and leave to simmer. Yes, it is the trolley all over—four times over—with three unintelligible youths instead of one bleating the incomprehensible names of ought-to-be familiar localities; and in some sense it is the declaration of independence as well. For here "all men are created equal"—in sharpness of elbow and heaviness of foot. And "all men are endowed with inalienable rights"—in particular, the right to make every one else consumedly uncomfortable, in consideration of a five-ceat fare! Here, however, quotation from the immortal document ceases to be applicable. Reference in this connection to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" would be sarcasm too painful to be pardonable. What a comment upon the inexhaustible patience and forbearance of humankind, this means of transport, compared to which a cattle train is a very Pullman vestibulated limited for comfort! "There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother," said wise old Solomon. He was quite right. There is. It is the man on the next strap. Fashion in Wedding Musi Fashion in Wedding Music. A musician who has played at many fashionable weddings says that for curious selections the musical programs of this season's weddings vie with the output of the opera houses. "The music generally is first class," he said. "In fact, some of the best concerts in town have been given at big weddings, but many of the pieces played have been so radically different from the old-fashioned nuptial composition as to shock the brides of ten or even five years ago. Apparently the days have gone by when the 'Lohengrin' and Mendelsohn wedding marches, with 'Oh, Promise Me' or 'The Sweet Story Ever Told,' thrown in for good measure were considered sufficiently melodious for a girl to be married by. This season's marriage service demands a very elaborate musical program. All the masters of harmony have been ransacked for appropriate selections. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and the modern composers contribute to the musical feast. The program at one wedding contained a number that was marked 'by request,' which seemed about the last cry in wedding music." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1908.

So completely sheltered and so completely land locked is the harbor that within the entrance, which is only 1,500 feet wide, there are over 22 square miles of anchorage ground for vessels of ordinary draught. There is a depth of water over the outer bar, some five miles outside the entrance, of 55% feet, and there is a depth at the pier head line of 51% feet. The channel depth is greater than any harbors of this country save that of Boston, which is 36% feet; Portland, Me., which is 39% feet; Portsmouth, N. H., which is 49 feet, and San Francisco, which is 39 1/5 feet. Mrs. Della Mcanes, 228 E.

Joyous Occasion in City Boy's Life, According to Humorist. "Whin I was a little boy, I classed fun'rals among't the greatest iy me ad- ventures. They give me a ride in a hack through parts iv town that i'd niver seen before an' out into th' countryway that i niver wint except I was invited to a fun'ral, an' I had joyful company an' something to eat different r'm what I got at home. Lookin' back on how I felt whin I was a kid, I can't remember that any dist relation relation made himself unpopular with us by dyn'n. Even if I wasn't let go to a fun'ral there was something exciting about it. It stirred up th' neighborhood. There was something to talk about. Ivrybody asked: 'Did he leave anything?' as if th' poor man got out their good clothes an' dusted off their high hats. On th' day iv th' fun'ral all't child'er iv th' neigh- hood gathered around th' house an' envied their little playmates that had th' luck to lose a fond parent.'—F. P. Dunne, in American Magazine.

In the Same Boat. "We get some sad cases," said the attendant at the Lumpton lunatic asylum to the interested visitor, and opened the door of the first cell. Inside was a man sitting on a three-legged stool, gacing vacantly at the wall. "His is an unhappy story," said the attendant. "He was in love with a girl, but she married another man, and he lost his reason from grief." They stole out softly, closing the door behind them, and proceeded to the next innate. This cell was thickly padded, and the man within was stark, staring mad. "Who is this?" inquired the visitor. "This's?" repeated the attendant. "This is the other man!"—Tatler. Triumph of Mind. Victim of Delusion—Doctor, I'm awfully afraid I'm going to have brain fever. Doctor—Pooh, pooh, my dear friend! That's all an illusion of the senses. There is no such thing as fever.

Victim—Oh, doctor, what a load you have taken from my—from my—I have a mind, haven't I, doctor? THE FIRST TASTE Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby. If parents realized the fact that coffee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giving the bables coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. As my parents used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. "And so I contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite young, the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it in the coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste right and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until I was 27, and when I got into office work, I began to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could correctly attend to my correspondence. "At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. "A friend persuaded me to try Postum. My wife and I did not like it at first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. "I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drinkers. "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Angry Citizen Put Ordeal Up to Street Car Company. Not long ago there entered the office of the superintendent of a trolley line in Detroit an angry citizen, demanding "justice" in no uncertain terms. In response to the official's gentle inquiry touching the cause of the demand, the angry citizen explained that on the day previous as his wife was boarding one of the company's cars, the conductor thereof had stepped on his spouse's dress, tearing from it more than a yard of material. "I can't see that we are to blame for that," protested the superintendent. "What do you expect us to do, get her a new dress?" "No, sir, I do not," rejoined the angry citizen, brandishing a piece of cloth. "What I propose is that you people shall match this material."—Harper's Weekly. BAD ITCHING HUMOR. Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw— Feet Swollen—Sleep Broken— Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura. "Some two months ago I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. I used five or six different remedies and get no help, only when applying the burning was worse and the itching less. For two or three weeks the suffering was intense and during that time I did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Cuticura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and I have not telt a bit of it since. The swelling went down and in two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George B. Farley, 50 South State St., Concord, N. H., M-y 14, 1907." Labor Saying Device "Yes, stree," said the freckled lad proudly, "my dad's a genius, he is." "That so?" responded the weary coffee-mill agent. "Wall, I should say so. Dad noticed that every time the old hound came around Sunday mornings he began wagging his stumpy tail." "Anything unusual in that, sonny?" "No, not for the hound, mister, but dad got up the idea of attaching a shoe brush and a whisk broom to Bowser's tail. Now when dad is ready to go to meetin' his shoes are shined and the legs of his trousers are dusted without his moving a finger. By gosh! Dad's got as much brains as a furrin diplomat." Self-Denial.
