TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 46. HOUSE GOWN For house or reception wear, both now and during the coming summer, this beautiful gown will be most appropriate. The body portion of the waist is of orchid yellow marquette, and a lining of taffetas. The yoke band is of tucked marquette, and the square berta yoke-facing and cuff bands are of cream-colored lace. The skirt is made with a one-piece foundation, having a circular flounce, and a four piece over-skirt. The foundation and circular flounce are of the marquette, and the four-piece over-skirt is of the all-over lace. If desired, the overskirt and circular flounce may be made of one material, the former embroidered by hand, or trimmed with buttons and braid loop. For 36 bust the waist requires 5 yards of material 20 inches wide, 2½ yards 36 inches wide, or 2½ yards 42 inches wide; ½ yard of all-over lace 18 inches wide for collar yoke-facing and arm-hands. Parisian Modistes Declare for Change in Fashion. As usual, sleeves are of prime importance in the warm weather wardrobe, says Mrs. Coburn in the Dellineater. More than any other detail of the toilet they betray the exact date of its creation. "A gown is as old as its sleeve" is an axiom of the dressmaking profession. In Paris the short sleeve is already passe. The American woman, however, will not drop it abruptly for the long sleeve. She will be inclined to temperize on account of the heat of our long summer, but by autumn it is a certainty that the short sleeve will have been laid to rest. One of the best examples of the typical small sleeve is used in the tailleur. It is full length, of course, close fitting and with no perceptible fulness at the armhole. An excellent phase of it is illustrated in the costume of shantung in the shade called "ashes of violets." The little coat has a square scamed postition back and a deep V-shaped closing in the front that is caught to one side with a darker tone chou of silk, plaited and ruched into a clever combination of a double violet. The sleeve is most interesting and unusual, for it has but one seam, and that on the outside of the arm. The sleeve buttons from the elbow to the wrist with a bias line of great buttonholes bound in cloth, and small round cloth-covered buttons. The armhole of the hat is turned under and piped so that the seam is as flat as possible. HIGH-CROVED HAT IN BURNT STRAW. With clusters of "blow-aways." The newest shape neck ruffle in brown tulle, tied at the side with brown satin ribbon. With clusters of "blow-aways." The newest shape neck ruffle in brown tulle, tied at the side with brown satin ribbon. THE GAZETTE Dainty Lingerie That Is Considered the Mode. Although the small maiden may have an assortment of silk slips she never wears a separate silk petticoat or one trimmed with ribbons. Her white skirts are carefully measured an inch shorter than her frocks, and are of somewhat heavier materials, preferably londale or cambre. These may have deep flouncees or embroidered muslin headed with heading, to accompany lingerie dresses, or several ruffles of dotted and figured swims may be used, as this lauders well, looks exceedingly dainty and is irrepressive. To the white petticoat is usually attached an underwrist of similar material and beading finish, through which may be run very narrow white, light blue or pink ribbons. This waist may be joined by means of a band or cut in one with the umbrella shaped petticoat, thus avoiding unnecessary bulk about the hips if the child be somewhat stout. Some little girls wear beneath the outer petticoat a shorter skirt and drawers cut in one piece and joined at the waist-line to a correct cover substitute that is worn over a little spun silk or lilie shirt. The French lingerie imported for small maidens has beading joined seams and in sets comprising waist, drawers, long and short petticoats and gown all trimmed lightly with dainty embroidery. For Mourning Wear Some years ago a movement against crape took place in England, of which the influence was felt in America. The swing of the pendulum has now once more brought crape in favor for mourning use, and it is an English manufacture—even in Paris English crape is used—British manufacturers are rejoicing. The recent death of the duke of Devonshire has thrown a great number of families into mourning, and the abundance of crape used is very noticeable. For the Stout Woman. The stout woman will look well to the construction of or corset cover. It should have as many places to it as possible, as it will be stronger and fit better and there should be no ruffle about the bottom, but simply a band to make as little fullness as possible. Of Dark Blue Linen. A suit of dark blue linen is trimmed at the collar and cuffs with blue soutache, while the skirt and coat are finished with large blue bone but tons. The skirt of this suit is circular whit a flat back. Of Voile and Taffeta. Some suits are composed of a volle shirt with a wide band of taffeta at the foot, and a coat of taffeta. The girdle is made of taffeta and is abov six inches wide. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. NOMINATION IF THE MISTAKE OF NOMINATING Reasons for Stand Plainly Stated by Afro-American Voters of Greene County—The Voice of Our People Generally. Xenia, O.—The following is self-explanatory, even if the action it recounts did take place a little over two months ago. Just at this time, on the eve of the meeting of the Republican national convention, it is of exceptional interest because what it states is subscribed to by our people the country over even more strongly than at the time of its adoption. We, the colored voters and citizens of Greene county, Ohio, having convened primarily in our own interest and next in the interest of the Republican party, take note of passing and approaching political HON. C. L. MAXWELL to-day the ablest living exponent and advocate of the great principles and policies upon which the Republican party was organized, and it is only those Republicans who are deserting those bedrock principles that find fault with Senator Foraker. Senator Foraker has done as much, if not more, than any other living Republican for the success and perpetuity of his party, and we view with supremacy the conditions of confession and unrestured terms any and all attempts to eliminate him from public life. As loyal Republican we enter no special protest against, or exceptions to, the ticket recently nominated by the so-called Republican state convention, but we are amazed and insulted because it passed over in silence the long and splendid record and brilliance of our party's history. We believe that political bosses and third-rate statesmen who dominated that convention have as one of their chief objects the elimination of Senator Foraker from public life, and we pledge ourselves to withhold our support from the ticket nominated by that convention if its leading spirits continue in their shameful purpose of the movement to humiliate, crush and eliminate from public life Senator Foraker, and should the Republican national convention make the mistake of endorsing that movement, we here express our disapproval, respect, combined with the debt of gratitude we owe to Senator Foraker, will compel us to withhold our support from the ticket nominated by that convention. Our opposition to the nomination of Secretary Taft is measurably stated in, and we approve and adopt the following excerpts from a newspaper daily newspaper of Ohio, under date of January 20, 1908, as follows: "Conceding all that may be said truthfully of the splendid qualities of Secretary Taft, it is still our judgment that he is not the most available candidate. His position upon the tariff is not in accord with the great majority of the leaders of the party; not with the masses as we find them in the East, and not with the South, in the East, and where, which leaves the whole matter open to dangerous determination. **** Again, to nominate Secretary Taft is to ignore absolutely and almost insultingly the colored vote, which hitherto has been a large and reliable element in the Republican party. To the credit of Mr. Taft be it said, that he, as secretary of war, at once recognized the injustice of the impulse order of the president in dismissing and killing the president, and he colored battalion for the supposed cause of a few of their number, and in the absence of Mr. Roosevelt, on his way to Panama, suspended the presidential order. But the president, when he heard of it, directed Mr. Taft to cancel the order of suspension. This last is the only official act of Mr. Taft, which we are inclined to criticise. Rather than offend the president, Mr. Taft colored the troops to the colored troops. For whatever the facts as to the shooting at Brownsville, it must be admitted that the soldiers are entitled to a hearing, and whatever the guilt of a few, the great majority were innocent, and their summary dismissal was a gross injustice. 'Better that ninety-nine guilty escape than one ninety man suffer.' And all this is true, whatever may be the report of the Brownsville committee as to the president's dismissal. Would the president have discharged a battalion of Irishmen under like circumstances. If he had, the state of New York would have gone Democratic by three or four hundred thousand majority. On a battalion of Swedes? If so, the whole northwest would have gone glimmering. But the patient Negro is expected to stand insult and injustice against the president, the nomination of Mr. Taft seems not to be demanded as a reward for party services. He has never taken part in a political campaign in Ohio, except once, with disastrous results. He has not even voted for years." We commend the foregoing extracts to the careful and prayerful consideration of the delegates to the approaching Republican national convention, and assure them that the Negro's patience is at last exasperated. But we still have to maintain wisdom of the great leaders of our party, and as they gather in national council in the historic city, where nearly a half century ago was nominated the party's first president and patron saint, Abraham Lincoln, they will catch an inspiration from the lingering spirits and sacred memories of the great leaders of that period, and will receive a new leader. We will be about for a leader on whom the mantle of Lincoln can worthily fall! Then all eyes will turn to Senator Foraker, C. L. MAXWELL, Chairman. $150. FOR BEST ARTICLE. $150 FOR BEST ARTICLE.

BISHOP E. W. LAMPTON. Speaks Out In No Uncertain Tones for Senator Foraker. Washington, D. C.—Recently Bishop Lampon, a member of the executive committee of The Foraker National league of which the editor of The Gazette is the honored president, gave out the following statement: "Put me down for Foraker. Senator Foraker is stronger with the colored people now than ever before. They love him as they loved Lincoln and Summer. They are willing to trust their political fortunes to him absolutely. He has proved faithful, and so far as we are concerned we have done nothing to hurt him. Mississippi, my state, sends a solid delegation to the convention—20 strong—instructed for Senator Foraker. That is the way we do things down there when we admire a man. Have no faith in the false reports that we are beginning to lag in our devotion. I tell you the interest the country have shown in Senator Foraker is remarkable. For once in our racial history we are united. We are united in our determination to stand by him. I do not believe the great Republican party, assembled in its national convention, will ignore the wishes of the 10,000 loyal children of this country. They have ever proved loyal to the Republican party, and I do not believe the Republican party will now prove disloyal to them by making a nomination or by doing any other act that would involve a compromise with our honor. The great speech delivered by Senator Foraker endeared him to us, and his recent letter to the president of the United States with us it is a battle for principle. We would rather go down to defeat fighting for a principle we believe to be right to triumph with the wrong. Should we desert Mr. Foraker no other great and broad minded white man would ever take up our cause again. But I am cheerful, and do not want to be down to defeat. I know we will stand by the brave Ohio senator, first, last and always." In addressing a large gathering of our people Monday evening former United States Senator Wm. E. Chandler (Repub.), New Hampshire, urged them to bolt the Republican ticket to Secretary Taft is nominated. "The oppression of the Negro in the south is due to the fact that our race have persistently supported the Republican party," he said. "Would not the Democratic party feel more kindly toward the Negro if he were to vote the Democratic ticket?" Beware of "Rev." Winters. Recently there came to Cleveland a short, slender, neat appearing brown-skin individual with a small mustache claiming to be "Rev." Winters, a graduate of several institutions of learning and an European African American availologist, called "touching," Revs. Drs. Prince and Bailey and several members of their churches as well as these latter, the "skiddooed." Our people in neighboring towns and cities are warned to be on the lookout for the slick individual. Two or three Afro-Americans only accepted positions as conductors and motormen during the recent street car strike IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH ROSCOE C. BRUCE. What He and Some Other Sons and Daughters of Prominent Members of the Race Are Doing. Washington, D. C.—Interest is often manifested in the offspring of our distinguished men and women. Washington has a goodly number, as the following will show. The sons and daughters of our past leaders are, to a great extent, adding laurels to the family name. Hon. Frederick Douglass has two sons here. Charles Douglass is a high class clerk in the pension office. Lewis Douglass is one of Washington's foremost citizens, although not engaged in active business be use of impaired health. Charles Douglass has two sons here, Joseph, a violinist, and Haley, a recent graduate of Harvard, who is a teacher in the high school and a student in medicine at Howard university. Hon. B. K. Bruce, who is Rosecee Conkling Bruce, is at the head of Washington's schools for our youth. Young Bruce, who is a Harvard graduate, fills this position of responsibility. Miss Wilson of Cleveland, the first Afro-American public school teacher in that city's mixed schools. Ex-Governor Pinchback has two sons here, Bismark and Walter. Both of them fill responsible clerkships in the departments. Walter is a graduate of Howard Law School and a member of the district bar. Hon. E. E. Bassett, who was minister to Haytay during President Grant's administration, has two sons here. Both of them are teachers in the high school and the other is a clerk in the treasury department. Ex-Congressman O'Hara's daughter is a teacher in one of the city schools. Ex-Congressman W. T. Menard's son is employed in the government printing office. The lamented Hon. N. Wright Cuney, one of the most brilliant politicians of past years, has a son here, Lloyd Garvey Cuney, who holds a responsible position. Hon, M. W. Gibbs, the veteran Arkansas diplomat and banker, has a daughter who is an accomplished musician. Mrs. Napoleon Marshall. SOMEBODY LIED! Whether the Press Reporter or Commander White, Has Not as Yet Developed. May 28, 1908 Editor The Press, Dear Sir: The following is from The Press of one day last week and is wrong. Please read enclosed letter and correct the wrong impression made as the result of the publication of the following in your journal: "Japs and colored servants in the United States navy are being discharged. The pay of enlisted men has been increased 10 per cent, officers 20, and pay clerks 25. The increase has doubled the number of enlistments. The department has been granted an increase of 6,000 men. A call for 3,000 more July 1 and 3,000 in the six months following has been made. 'All colored men are being replaced by white men,' said William T. White, commander in charge of the naval recruiting station, Superior avenue, N.W. 'White cooks and servants are badly needed.' The United States training ship Wolverine left the Cleveland harbor for Erie Thursday with 25 recruits on board." The Secretary's Letter. Navy Department, Washington, D. C., May 27, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 21st instant with enclosed clipping from one of the Cleveland papers relative to the enlistment of colored men in the navy. In reply I beg to say that there is no foundation whatever for the statement contained in the clipping, and the department feels sure that the recruiting officer has been misquoted. The circulars and instructions for recruiting officers, copies of which are herewith enclosed, contain no provision whatever for discrimination between colored and white men, the only restriction being that all applicants for enrollment must be citizens of the United States. On June 30th there were 1,484 colored men in the navy. These figures have probably not materially changed since that date, except that they have perhaps increased slightly. Wheeling, W. Va., Notes This city has a population of 40,000, only 1,200 of whom are colored. Lincoln public school has 140 scholars and seven teachers. Prof. F. B. Jones is principal.

Member Ohio Legislature 1994 to 1993 1966 to 1967 1968 to 1969 Cleveland, Saturday, June 13, 1908. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. For President Senator J.B. Foraker The Taft subsidy secures only Negro graffits. Whether they are from New York City, Cincinnati, Washington, D. C., Cleveland or "Padunk" makes no difference. Every loyal member of the race will endorse with all his heart, the manly sentiment expressed in our Xenia and Washington, D. C., letters, published elsewhere in this paper today. Bishop Lampton and Hon. C. L. Maxwell, ex consul to Santo Domingo, are to be congratulated. Don't get "cold feet." Taft isn't nominated yet "by a jugful." Newspapers, especially those subsidized, have not made Republican candidates for the presidency in the past, and we do not look for them to do so at Chicago next week. Nor do we believe that the American people, Republican, will submit to President Roosevelt's selection of a candidate for them. The daily newspaper "tom tom" beating of the past week is not the action of the convention which convenes on Tuesday. Secretary Tatt's miserable blunder in his Decoration day speech at the tomb of Gen. Grant, and the one in his notorious Akron speech which did more to defeat a Republican candidate for governor of Ohio and dozens of other county Republican candidates in this state, than a dozen other principle, inimical influences combined, show the man to be anything but the "big man, mentally as well as physically," his close friends term him. Then his Greensboro, Tuskegee, Lexington and Grand Rapids speeches! Mercy! According to Secretary of the Navy Metcalf's letter, published elsewhere in this paper, either Commander White or a Press reporter has told a LIE that is hurtful to our people. More than ten days ago we asked the editor of that paper to make a correction, stating the truth and treating fairly our people of this community, many of whom read The Press and he has failed to do so. Why? We have regarded Editor Harry N. R. Dickey as one of the fairest and best in the city when it comes to matters of (our) racial interests and we do not want to change that opinion. Come, Mr. Press Editor, do the right thing! We fully appreciate the fact that it takes a bigger and better man, as a rule, to publicly correct a mistake than it does to make one. Get busy! THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. In the preliminary work for the national Republican convention, to convene in Chicago on Tuesday, much political history of almost vital interest to the Afro-American and the party is being made these days, particularly during the week just drawing to a close. For many years there has seemed to be but one issue that concerned the Republicans of the south and prompted them to keep up the resemblance of an organization. It was public of face. Now Republicans are wrestling in the preliminary work for next week's convention with a new and more serious problem. It is the elimination of the southern Negro. Less than a dozen years ago the "illy white" movement, which meant control in the south by the whites, made its appearance. It was not given encouragement by the Republicans in the north. Despite the attitude of the northerners, however, the southern "illy white" Republicans, encouraged by Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, Senator Hanna and Secretary Taft, have shown a steadily growing disposition to draw the color line. This year they have gone further than ever before, because the Taft management has backed, upheld and is still upholding them by turning down regularly elected Afro-American delegations, and seating "illy white" delegations made up in almost every instance of or by Roosevelt Taft federal office holders and their tools (white and a few blacks), thus disfranchising the Afro-American of the south as far as primary elections are concerned just as southern Democracy disfranchises them on election days. Thus do President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft and their followers, black and white, put their seal of favor and positive approval up- on the wholesale distranchisement of the southern Negro and later on will have the gall to ask northern Afro-Americans to endorse their stand in this all important matter, if Taft is nominated, by asking us to vote for him. GREAT GOD! In spite of conditions which seem to favor Secretary "Disfranchisement" Taft, there is still hope that when the convention has been in session a few days, sober second thought will assert itself and bring about the nomination of some one we can elect this fall. It is simply the height of folly to expect thousands upon thousands of Republicans, old soldiers, members of organized labor, Jews and Afro-Americans to vote for a man who pictured Gen. U. S. Grant a drunkard in a speech at his tomb on Decoration day last; who issued so many injunctions against or organized labor as to be known best by them as Injection "Bill" Taft; who toasted the czar of Russia while butcheries of innocent Jewish people were taking place in that country that have not been equaled anywhere in the world in quite a hundred years; and finally, who has never for one moment up to and including this very hour, failed to give his unqualified endorsement of and assistance to, President Roosevelt's outrageous discharge without honor, and subsequent persecution of "The Black Battallion," and Roosevelt's special (congress) message insults of 1806 and 1907 to our people; and who has steadily encouraged in public speech disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars in the south on many occasions during the past two years. WILL THEY EVER LEARN? By and by, may be, the Afro-American Republicans of the south, constituting as they do 90 per cent, or more of the Republican party of that section, will learn the much-needed lesson and stop electing white men members of the national committee and of national conventions to mispresent them and to promote "illy whitism" for the party honors and offices only. The great white majority in the Republican party of the north has for 40 years or more in its treatment of the northern Afro-American minority of the party, constantly set an example that the too big-hearted and magnanimous (for its own good) Afro-American majority of the Republican party of the south has all these years closed its eyes to and refused to be guided by. It is certainly high time to wake up, brethren. If there is anything calculated to disturb the almost criminal 40 years' nap, along the line indicated, it is the route the Roosevelt-Taft majority in the national committee at Chicago, last and this week, in giving seats in next week's convention to Taft "illy white" delegations from the south, and without the least care and less consideration, if possible, for the rights of Afro-American delegates, or other anti-Taft delegations from that section, who were really entitled to the seats. That they were violating a cardinal principle of the Republican party and jeopardizing the election this fall of whomever the convention nominates for president, was a matter, seemingly, of absolutely no concern to them, or President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft, who have constantly and consistently, ever since the latter's notorious speech at Greensboro, N. C. in 1906, promoted as best they could "illy whitism" in the south, and only the past week encouraged the committee in its high handed disfranchisement of delegates, with messages direct from Washington, D. C. The National Republican Convention. Chicago, Ill.-Having loudly refused to give more than half recognition to the regular delegates of Louisiana the national committee is going to seat the "illy white" Taft delegation from Virginia. The Negro and his rights are to get a little "sop" space in the resolutions, as always, and precious little of the good things passed around in practical politics. He is to be the goat. As a matter of fact the Negro politician faces a crisis this year. All over the country he has declared agist Taft. In the south he held conventions and instructed his delegates for Senator Foraker. Those delegates are being tossed out of the Coliseum by the national committee with breathless rapidity. The traitorous Negroes given seats in the convention will get them because they are for "franchisement" Taft and opposed to the stand on the Brownsville issue taken by a great majority of the race. Nightly meetings are being held in the city and in Indian places in which orators of the race call on the convention to halt in the Taft nomination program. The Foraker National league, with its managers on the ground, is threatening a bolt to a third party. And the end is not yet. Weaver-Guy Marriage Announced! Newark, O. M., and Mrs. F. B.

Mount Vernon, N. Y.—Two hundred and five guests of the Hotel Gramatan at Bronxville, Westchester county, were driven from their rooms by a fire which broke out early Tuesday in the left wing of the hotel. One third of the hotel, which stood on a hill, was destroyed before the flames were extinguished. There was no loss of life and the property loss is estimated at $150,000. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1908. Cincinnati, O.-The following resolutions are self-explanatory: WHEREAS, The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, United States senator from Ohio, defended the innocent soldiers of companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth United States' infantry, in demanding for them their constitutional rights; and, WHEREAS, He made it possible for them to be heard in their own behalf before the senate committee on military affairs; and, WHEREAS, The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker has drawn a bill, which if passed, would place the military records of these soldiers, who have been wontonly wronged, and restore to them their rights as citizens and soldiers; RESOLVED. That we, the members of the Cincinnati Foraker Constitutional league, in regular meeting assembled, commend the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker to the American people for his fearless stand for the enforcement of the constitution, and for his denunciation of the Hepburn railroad rate bill, which robs the judiciary of its power and which bill places said power in the hands of the interstate commerce commission; and be it further RESOLVED. Should the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker fail to receive the presidential nomination in June, 1980, he would be defeated and all so-called Republican state legislative candidates who fail to pledge their support to return the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker to the United States senate, if he should desire to be returned; and, be it further RESOLVED, That we commend the Hon. Charles Dick, junior United States senator from Ohio, for his unfinishing support of the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker. None could stand these trying times but the bravest patriots, the followers of Republicanism as practiced by Lincoln, Sumner and Foraker, whose names shall illumine the stories of history as among the greatest men of their day; and, be it further RESOLVED, That we regret President Roosevelt's continued silence with reference to the terrible massacre of innocent Negroes at Atlanta, Georgia, during the fall of 1906; and, be it further RESOLVED, That we also regret that President Roosevelt stated he would veto Senator Foraker's bill, reinstating the "Black Battallon," if passed, and if passed over his veto would fail to enforce the law, thereby responsible for and placing himself in the role of a traitor to his country; and be it further RESOLVED. That we view with alarm the drastic legislation enacted on account of the president's continued attacks on corporations, the increased cost of many necessities of life, and the falling on of voluntary labor, which has led to learning, which said legislation is responsible for; and, be it further RESOLVED. That we believe the enactment of said drastic legislation to be the cause of the panic, which came like a thunder bolt from a clear sky, and which threw thousands of citizens of the United States out of employment and poverty, causing suffering and poverty, which to a great extent still exists. RESOLVED. That we are unalterably opposed to the nomination of Secretary William Howard Taft. JOHN S. FIELDING. President. EDWARD JOHNSON. Secretary. MRS. MARGARET VAN DEUSEN. Death of Well Known Afro-American —Long Resident Here. Rome, N. Y. The death of Mrs. Margaret Van Deusen, one of the best known residents of this city, occurred at her daughter's, Mrs. Robert Wilson, on June 2. Mrs. Van Deusen had been in poor health for some time with a complication of diseases, but had been about the house and on Tuesday at supper with Mr. Wilson's family. She was remarkably well preserved for one of her age. She retained her mental faculties to the end. Mrs. Van Deusen was born in the family of Jacob A. Kellar, at Fort Plain on Nov. 13, 1813, and for 39 years cared her residence with Him. She was later like a daughter and attended school till 14 years old. When 20 years old she was married to Jasper Van Deusen at Canajoharie. Mr. and Mrs. Van Deusen came to Rome 54 years ago. Mr. Van Deusen's death occurred in this city about 20 years ago. As a pastry and meat cook Mrs. Van Deusen was excelled by few, and at different times had been employed at hotels in Richfield Springs, Saratoga Springs, Illon. Rome and other places. She is survived by one son and one daughter, William H. Van Deusen, of this city, and also Mrs. Wilson of this city. She also leaves four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

The Senator Tells of the Necessity of Getting Sufficient Support to Pass His Soldier Bill Over Roosevelt's Veto—"The Afro- American's Chance." Washington, D. C.—Should our voters of the country follow the advice of Senator Foraker they will make Brownsville a political issue in the campaign next fall and support for president and vice president and representative in congress only each can have a say. We will also import the Foraker bill reinstating in 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 Brownsville case, we know that the president were introduced—one by Mr. Foraker, providing for the restatement of the men without condition, because they were guiltless of the charge against them, and the other by Senator Warner of Missouri, permitting them to get back into the army if able to convince them of the 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 he sent to Senator. Senator Foraker has made public his reply, and in it he 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 some of our soldiers were entitled to vote on the bill, whom he shot President Garfield, or Ccolqoiz, 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 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 before I did. And I was unable to the bill if I did not get a vote. At 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 "A vote at this time, therefore, meant defeat, and the end of all hope of restoring the soldiers. Postponement 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 a bill, which means complete restoration, or the Warner bill, which means whatever the whim of the president may see fit to allow, and that, I am satisfied, would be very little, if anything. "As late as April 24 he wrote to Sonator 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 Czolgosz or Guiteau, and that my bill meant only to force a lot of murderers and perjurers back into the army, and that he would feel it his duty if we veto it, 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 Republican 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 exertion to veto the bill must, if possible, have a two-thirds vote, and this brings up a feature of this newly made situation that will. I hope, enable us to get this additional strength. "If the bill had been voted upon and defended at this session the colored voters of the country would not have had any means of showing their support against the party in a spirit of revenge. "Now, with the bill postponed, they have at least a living issue, and they have a right to demand of Republican candidates for office, including our candidates for president and vice president, and all other candidates for office, including the house of representatives, that they will pledge themselves to support the Foraker bill. Can Aid Race and Soldiers. "In this way the 10,000,000 colored people of the United States can greatly help, not only the soldiers, but the whole race by causing themselves to be felt and appreciated as they move away from the enemy, and 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 sake of. "Hoping this quotation 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. FOAKER." AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

For this one time if never before, the Negro is united against any man brought before him. If they are 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, Vardian and Tillman not excepted. Our first choice for the Republican nomination for the president is Forsyth.

OUR BISHOPS 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 Battalion' 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 Brownville huffy, and against the hardly less wrong done these same men by the pliant and cowardly indorsement 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." Do you know That the "Old Reliable" GAZETTE was established 25 Years Ago------ andthatithasbeen issued every weekontime since? THAT IS NOW ESTABLISHED BEYOND ALL QUESTION OR DOUBT. Of Enough to Nominate Him—History Will Repeat itself as Usual—True Situation as to Delegations. 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 to the Chicago convention have been elected. In this statement 584 votes—33 more than a majority—are claimed for Taft. Admittedly they 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 Taft, and the failure of such effort implies that even back of an indorsement of Secretary Taft, as a doubtful welcher or not his nomination would be advisable when 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 the candidate over the line, coupled with Riefenstahl'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 is the greatest 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 Harrison, in 1892—nominated by the party to the presidency. 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 wheel 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 involving the surrender of party prospects in a hundred congressional districts, and a dozen northern and bor- ished party, the necessity of proving that the support of president wealth has not been secured for the candidacy at the sacrifice of the policies which the progressive wing of the Republican party has led to believe it represents."

I am glad to write my endorsement of the great remedy, Peruna. I do so most heartily." - Julia Marlowe. Any remedy that benefits digestion strengthens the nerves. The nerve centers require nutrition. If the digestion is impaired, the nerve centers become anemic, and nervous debility is the result. Peruna is not a nervine nor a stimulant. It benefits the nerves by benefiting digestion. Peruna frees the stomach of catarrhal congestions and normal digestion is the result. In other words, Peruna goes to the bottom of the whole difficulty, when the disagreeable symptoms disappear. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, Wallace, Cal., writes: I was troubled with my stomach for six years. Was treated by three doctors. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. "I improved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got bad again. "I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. "I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken several bottles and am entirely cured." WHERE THE DANGER LAY. Listeners in Greater Peril Than Was Ambitious Musician. There was never a more conscientious young man than Eben Soule, and when he found how much absorbed he had become with the mere idea of playing in the town band, he consulted his minister. "Do you reckon I could give up all that time to music without falling from grace?" he asked, anxiously. The good old Methodist had a saving sense of humor. He saw that his parishioner was much distressed between his wishes and his conscience, but the minister smiled on him, nevertheless. "It's the horn you're asked to play, I hear," he said. "Ever had much experience with it, Eben?" "Never tried it but once, but I like the sound of it first-rate," said the young man. "M'm!" said the minister. "Well, I think you needn't be afraid of falling from grace on account of it, but I do hope you'll manage things so your family and neighbors won't have to pass through the fiery temptation of hearing you practice too often, Eben."—Youth's Companion. LOOKING FOR COMFORT. "Hurry up, Shorty, an' git a move on! I wants to make der next town before der fail closes fer de night!" External Evidence. Little Clarence had the experience for the first time of taking his bath in a cold room with water not at the usual temperature. His mamma left him for a moment, while he looked agast at the "goose flesh" that appeared. "Hurry up, mamma," he called. "I'm turning into a chicken."—Harper's Weekly.

W. E. Clarke, in the chronicle of the London Missionary society, gives a letter which the novelist sent when on the island to the native king of Samoa on the subject, in which he said: "Nothing is more quickly learned (than the opium habit); it passes from one to another like a song; nothing is so pernicious; it foods upon unacustomed races like a fire upon dry wood. And I assure your majesty no race appears less able to stand the results of this drug than that to which your majesty belongs and ove! so great a portion of which your majesty is called upon to rule." His Change. The journalist handed in at a West End post office a telegram to his wife in which, from force of habit, he had marked his sentences with little crosses in place of full stops. "Do you want all these kisses transmitted?" asked the girl behind the counter. "You know you'll have to pay each as a word." "No, I'll take up those crosses as change," said the journalist sweetly—London Chronicle. FIVE MONTHS IN HOSPITAL. Discharged Because Doctors Could Not Cure. Levi P. Brockway, S. Second Ave. Anoka, Minn. says: "After living says: "After lying for five months in a hospital I was discharged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected, I had smothering spells and sometimes fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight was impaired, and for five months in a hospital I was discharged as insurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected, I had smothered spells and sometimes fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight was impaired and the kidney secretions were badly disordered. I was completely worn out and discouraged when I began using Donn's Kidney Pills, but they went right to the cause of the trouble and did their work well. I have been feeling well ever since."

TORTURED SIX MONTHS By Terrible Itching Eczema—Baby's Suffering Was Terrible—Soon Entirely Cured by Cuticura. "Eczema appeared on my son's face. We went to a doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall off, so we tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest well; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had a clear face. Now he is two years and has never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis Leck, R. F. D. 3, San Antonio, Tex., Apr. 15, 1907." How Things Went. Elliott H. Peabody is one of the best-known men at the Worcester county courthouse. At one time he and a few others were interested in a business deal which they expected to put through on a certain day. He was unable to be there, so the next day telephoned to a Mr. H—for particulars. A lady answered the 'phone, and said that Mr. H—was not at home. Mr. Peabody,supposing it to be Mrs. H—, said: "Well, perhaps you can tell me what I want to know. I only wanted to inquire how things went last night." The lady, in a cheerful, reassuring tone, said: "Oh, nicely! Mrs. H—is doing fine, and the baby weighs six and a half pounds. I'm the nurse."—Lippincott's. Little Lesson for Bufus Uncle Erastus had been polishing his musket for half an hour; at last he gave it a final love-pat, and turned to his grandson. "Chile," he said, "does you see dat bottle about 30 yards over dere?" "Shore I does," Rufus agreed. The old man threw up the musket and balanced it rather shakily. "Whang!" it bellowed. "Now do you see dat bottle?" the old man demeaned. "Yes, I does, grandad." "It's powerful glad to hear dat, Rufe," the old man said, calmly. "It's been ahead from de way you sorted taters lately dat your eyesight was falling—but hit aln't. You's good fo' several yeahs yt, Rufus." An Occasion for Rejoicing.

"Count Your Blessings," was the quick response. Right Food Gives Strength and Brain Power.

Old Gentleman Really Had Very Little to Brag About. It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding that his only son's memory was not all that could be desired. "Where in the world he got such a forgetful streak from is beyond me," said the exasperated father to his wife on one occasion: "What has he forgotten now?" asked Mrs. Harding, with eyes downcast and a demure expression. "The figures of the last return from the election on the bulletin-board," and Mr. Harding inserted a finger in his collar as if to loosen it, and shook his head vehemently. "Looked at 'em as he came past not half an hour ago, and now can't tell me. "As I said to him: 'If you're so stupid you can't keep a few simple figures in your head, why don't you write 'em down on a piece of paper, as I do, and have done all my life, long before I was your age'" Youth's Companion. $100 Reward. $100.
