Gives Dressy Effect to Plain Cloth or Silk Costume. One of the newest fancies of fashion is the collarette, or ruff, fastened in the back with long ends of ribbon, which hang down the back. This is the latest suggestion in the way of boas or neckplates for wear out of doors. The collarette is a large ruff made of plaited ribbon, chiffon, net, etc., and quite high and full—much like a Pierrot collar. At the back there is a large rosette of ribbon to fasten it and from beneath the rosette the ribbons hanging quite a distance down the back. Frequently there is a rosette at the back of the hat to match that on the collar. The collarette and hat should, in fact, be in accords, and if they are so they will give quite a dressy effect to a plain cloth or silk costume. For instance, with a dark blue suit a shaded blue collarette and a shaded blue hat having the same tones might be used. With a gray suit an orange and white boa and a straw color and white hat might give a touch of gayety. Trimming with Ball Fringes The upholstery department is furnishing a good many of our clothes just now. Its cretonnes are cut into coats; its tablecloths are made into skirts; its lace curtains are used for tunic, and now its cotton ball fringe is the popular trimming on linen and cotton suits and frocks. Many of the top coats of linen depend upon this trimming for their only elaboration. The little bails are attached to a selvedge of braid and run on the edge of collars, revers and sleeves. On cotton frocks such as gingham and voile and galatea this little white or corn ball fringe is also used, although it is not as pretty on a tub frock as on a top coat. A Word About Goats Coats show a greater variety of style, and vary in length from the short hip jacket to the seven-eighths length. The tendency in all models is to slope away below the bust line, and have the back perceptibly longer than the front. Such coats are of all kinds of material, from plain wash linen to broadcloth and silk. BECOMING TO MANY. Here is a model much favored in the display of spring and summer hats; it is one becoming to most faces, therefore its popularity. At the same time it carries style as well as beauty in its construction. Feathers and hat may be one tone or they may be harmonizing shades. --- CHANGING FASHIONS A WORRY Strain on Purse in Constant Effort to Keep in Style. These days of ever-changing fashions are troubious ones for femininity. An abyss of restless modernity separates them—even more than does a century—from the peaceful times when garments were for many years cut upon the same patterns and varied mainly in their adaptation to the length and fullness of the wearer's purse. "The petticat of Sarcene, with broad black lace flounce printed on the bottom and before; the flowered satin and plain satin-laced, with rich lace at the bottom," as the case might be, descended from mother to daughter unaltered even in the looping of the train or the trimming of the bodice or the ruff. To-day, even with a closet full of good clothes left over from last year, the girl in moderate circumstances regards it as necessary spring and fall either to get new things or to overhaul what she has—and frequently the latter process costs more in the end than the former. It is not always wise economy to spend much on ordinary clothes, as the result is seldom good; it requires the exercise of some judgment to recognize what it will pay to alter—and many a girl prides herself on her economy who really is extravagant. The wiser plan, when one is not wealthy, is to buy good things and then to wear them as they are without worrying as to whether they are exactly on the same pattern as one's neighbor's. Every woman is entitled to a style of her own and need not be as anxious as American women usually are to be precisely like every one else. "Bridge" Frocks. It is now quite the fashion to dub all the good looking frocks that are not intended for balls and dinners as bridge frocks. The name is often misused. Women who never play bridge wear the frocks by that name. We used to say "restaurant gown," and that name was amusingly used by women who rarely dined or supped out of their own houses. The bridge frock, so called, is any kind of a gown that you may wear to a wedding, or an afternoon tea, or an informal dinner, or a party, if you do not wear your gowns low at the neck. The name has jumped into popularity. Just as the men who never studded beyond the three R's wear college bands around their hats and girls who have never been on board a yacht wear the marine symbols on their sleeves, so women who do not know king from ace speak familiarity of their "bridge" frocks. Longer Skirts for Little Girls. In the fashion of putting little girls into frocks that scarcely cover them came into vogue last year, and literally deformed thin children who be came the victims of it. This year the loose frocks are all about a full knee in length, and some still longer. In addition to the blouses and tunics there are many apron, or pinafore frock forms, a supply of which will keep the healthy romper looking fresh at all hours of the day, at a compara- tively small outlay of labor or money — Harper's Bazar. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1908. COMMITTEE NAMES TAFT IN ADVANCE COMMITTEE NAMES TAFT IN ADVANCE FINISHES SEATING "LILY-WHITE" DELEGATES AND ASSURES HIM NOMINATION. A MOST DAMNABLE OUTRAGE Greatest Robbery In the History of the Republican Party—It Will Bring Defeat—Afro-Americans Ignored and Kicked Out—Convention Chicago, Ill.—The national committee finished its task of giving Secretary Taft enough votes to nominate and then some, last week Friday afternoon. Forty-six contested ("illy-white") votes from Texas, Virginia, Alaska, Arizona and Oklahoma were made Taft votes during the session. This makes a total of 216 "illy-white" votes awarded to Taft by the national Republican committee out of 219 contests heard. Of the original 229 contests ten did not materialize. The three votes which escaped the Taft managers went to Senator Foraker, one from the sixth Ohio district and two given him in the fifth Virginia Friday afternoon. The Taft people certainly have demonstrated to the "colored brother," excluded from their delegations in North Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and elsewhere, how unfairly they can treat him. The "illy-white" action in the fifth Virginia had committed the grave error of limiting their call to white Republicans. They were, therefore, tossed out with a mock of indignation. Such Afro-Americans as got into the Virginia state convention were admitted as juniors of the hall, but the committee found it convenient to overlook that circumstance and seat its "illy-white" delegates, also. When it finished its work it had nominated William H. Taft for president. The confirming of his title to those 216 contested ("illy-white") votes turned the trick. The greatest political robbery in the history of national Republican conventions! The most daring and it will prove the most harmful! The real Republican convention, as far as nominating a president goes, is over. It consisted of 54 men who met in executive session around a table in an ante-house off the great hall of the Coliseum, where the ratification meeting of 980 delegates, including the 216 thus seated, will be held this week. After the national committee adjourned last week Friday, Taft Manager Vorsy summed up the division of convention delegates as he sees it, thus: Taft 719, Foraker 5, favorite sons 256, Vorsy credits the favorite sons with the full vote of their states, although Taft has one delegate in Pennsylvania, two at least in Illinois, one in Wisconsin and two uninstructed, with several others likely to vote for him in New York. He claims, of course, all the uninstructed delegates outside the favorite son states. Hitchcock issued a statement claiming 704 votes for Taft on the first ballot. He makes his statement in comparison with one issued by him May 16, after all the delegates to the national convention had been elected. In that statement Hitchcock claimed 517 instructed delegates, which number he now reduces to 513. He credits one to Foraker from Ohio and two to Foraker from Virginia, and does not claim for Taft the split delegation from the eighth Tennessee district, involving the loss of another seat. By indorsement he claims 36 votes, the same figure given in his May statement, but by declaration he now claims 155 votes, instead of 21, as claimed in May. This makes a total of 704. He credits 227 instructed votes for other candidates, and leaves 49 not accounted for in the columns of any of the candidates. The committee's recent session marked the alignment of Committee man Judson W. Lyons of Georgia, ex United States register of the treasury, and a former loud-mouthed Forakerite, with the Taft forces. He is the only Negro on the national committee HON. JUDSON W. LYONS and until June 6 had been reckoned with the anti-Taft men. At that time, however, Taft's Manager Hitchcock announced his conversion of that state. June 8 Mr. Lyons made Mr. Hitchcock's word good by formally moving the seating of the Taft delegates in one of the fights. "The most contemptible figure, however, is Judson W. Lyons," says a Chicago correspondent, "who in order to be in line for a job and to continue on the na tional committee, has actually voted to seat the 'lily-white' delegation and made the motion to unseat the Foraker delegation in the first Georgia district. The unseated delegate was Prof. R. R. Wright of Savannah, even the white papers characterize this base race treason as a 'surprise'. Thus the only colored member of the national committee stabs his own race to the heart and bathes his hands in the blood of his own kin." As to Reducing Southern Representation. A fight, led by Congressman J. F. Burke of Pennsylvania, is to be made in the convention this week to reduce the representation of southern states, which always go Democratic. The resolution to accomplish this was introduced in the national Republican convention at Philadelphia 1900 by the late Senator Matt. Quan of Pennsylvania and is as follows: The situation arising from the dissatisfaction of our vote is becoming more portentious. It has never been so rebellious as at the present time, Radical Afro-Americans are even stirring their fellows to greater rebellion. Pervent "amens" are being sounded up by Chicago Negroes for the sentiments preached on Sunday at Bethel A. M. E. church when our leading men demanded even bloodshed as a revenge in event of the nomination of Taft. The few black pro-Tatters now here for the convention were characterized as a lot of federal scavengers, members of the "bread and butter" men, the muskets of the Kuklux Klan, declared H. C. Press, an anti-Taft Negro, "and every black man in the nation who is loyal to his race must be a member. Traitors and race betrayers must be punished with death. The fate of the Negro race for the next hundred years is at stake." The colorless man, the Ohio "papcker," Ralph Tyler are "in bad" here, deserved openly by their own race and security by their white bosses. DOINGS OF THE RACE. At the Yankee Olympic team trials in Philadelphia, June 6, J. B. Taylor of U. and P. was the winner of the 400 metre run. He is an Afro-American and no relation to Major Taylor, the champion bicyclist. Mrs. Florence Gray of Boston, Mass., recently won her lawsuit against Mary Corliss (white) who keeps a restaurant on Hancock street. On April 28th Mrs. Gray went into it for lunch and was told by the proprietor she could not be served because she was colored. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, and father of Ohio's civil rights law and also of its anti-lynching law, both very effective and successful statutes, is not only the dean of the Afro-American editorial and journalistic corps but also one member of the race who has successfully published a paper regularly every week and on time, for 25 consecutive years. Quite a record, isn't it—Hattiesburg (Miss.) Weekly Times. Heflin Hearing This Fall. Washington. D. C. The arrangement of Congressman Tom Helfin of Alabama on the charge of shooting Lewis Lundy in a street car several weeks ago, this fall, agreement to this effect was reached June 8. IT IS NOT SO,THEY SAY! IF THERE ARE GOOD GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT, THEY DO KNOW IT. THE MAY AND BAILEY CO.'S As To Their Afro-American Employee —High Time We Were Given Clerkships as Well as Others for Our Trade—Letter Sent the May and Bailey Companies Last Year. Dear Sirs: At more or less frequent intervals during the past year, complaints have been made to me by members of my race, patrons of your store, who have tried to secure service in your restaurant and at your refreshment tables or counter. The latest complaint, a few days ago, is from a neighbor's wife, a most estimable lady who was accompanied by one or more ladies of color. Salt was placed in the coffee and ice cream in their cases, and in other cases your wife was present to all others were accommodated, including all who came in after the members of my race who sought to be served. I have hesitated to publish these facts, because I have no desire to injure your business, unless these employees are doing as you would have them do—acting on your order. This I am not prepared to believe for the very good reason that the trade of the 12,000 colored people of this community is only needed by any and all of our big stores, but it is most desirable principally because it is the ridiculousness of color and race prejudice especially in this country is possibly best appreciated by the Hebrew-American and Afro-American. Therefore I see absolutely no necessity for entering into a discussion of the same. It is as unreasonable and inexcusable in one case as in the other, especially when practiced in a large business house to the financial injury of that firm and by servants of that firm, because that is exactly what its employees are. One of the reasons for this treatment of my people is the fact that in many cases those thus insulted are infinitely the superiors in every way of the poor, misguided and prejudiced servants—employees. Trusting you will give this matter immediate attention and put a stop to it, letting me hear from you, I am, The May Company's Answer! Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor Gazette—Dear Sir: We have your letter of the 30th alt., and note the contents of same carefully. We assure you that no one in our establishment has had any instructions to treat any of the colored race in the manner that you describe; in fact, our instructions to all employees are to treat all customers uniformly, black or white, and to report this case to us and will take this matter up immediately with our restaurant manager. The only excuse that we can offer is that some individual took it upon herself to do what she did, thinking it either smart or cute. Should you in the future have any cause for complaint, which we ourselves are told to hear from you. In our own defense, we might say that we employ about 25 colored people ourselves, which we consider a very fair proportion. It is our endeavor at all times to discriminate against no one. The Bailey Company's Answer. The Bailey Company's Answer. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor Gazette —Dear Sir: I cannot explain how it happened that your letter of 9-10-7 remained unanswered, except that during my absence I had some confusion in my mail. In answer to your letter, however, I answered that you say I any treatment has come to an end the customer of The Bailey Co., whether colored or white, of whatever creed or religion, it is certainly without any instructions on the part of The Bailey Co., and moreover, contrary to the rules of The Bailey Co., made and provided, any infraction of which would mean instant dismissal. On the other hand, we pride ourselves in the fact that we have more colored people in our employ than any business house in the city, or any department store in the United States, inasmuch as all of our employees are day watchmen, and at least five men in stock rooms are colored men. Perhaps you are not posted on these facts, as I presume if you had been, you would hesitate to even mention the fact of our instructing any of our employees to perform the acts mentioned in your letter. Our colored trade is large and to all of our knowledge, satisfactory, both on the part of the purchaser and ourselves, as we do everything to please them as far as my knowledge goes and as far as their knowledge goes and as far as we do others who trade with us. I am thankful, to you for the information you have given me and can assure you that the matter will be thoroughly investigated and acted upon in such a way that such unpleasantness will be avoided in the future. Yours very respectfully, VICTOR W. SINCERE, Sunt Our Reply to Messrs. Gross and Sincere Dear Sirs: My letter received. I did not believe that your employees were discriminating upon your order or with your knowledge, and am glad to know that I was correct in that belief. Such a course would be so unbusnesslike, to say nothing of the sentimental side of the matter, that I could not believe it possible in so large and well conducted a store as you have in this city. Your employment of Afro-American labor has been referred to in a complimentary way in my paper at divers times in the last two or three years, and is the main reason why so many of my people patronize your store. However, we are patiently waiting to see the very natural advance of some Afro-American to a clerkship at some time in the near future. This would be the strongest card to be played in a business way for practically the entire patronage of this class of people of this community. Yours truly, HARRY C. SMITH. FRESH NEWS CHRONICLE LETTERS FROM MANY OF CITIES AND TOWNS SENT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT PIANIST "BLIND TOM" DIES. The Famous Musician Passed Away in Hoboken, Where He Has Lived for Years in Seclusion. New York City—"Blind Tom," famous musician, marvel of three generations of playgoers, died June 13 in Hoboken, N. J., where he had been living for years in retirement. Thomas Wiggins was born a slave near Columbus, Ga., about 1850. In early childhood Tom, who was born entirely blind and more than half idiotic, showed himself remarkably imitative, frequently stealing into the house to reproduce on the piano, pieces he had heard played by others in the school. In 1881 he became so proficient that he was taken to New York and exhibited as a phenomenon and later was widely heard in the United States and Europe. He made the white family that had him all his life nearly a half dozen fortunes. When his poor and aged mother in Georgia attempted through the years for years to get her earnings, she was largely because she was poor and could not keep up the fight. The white people continued to make money out of Tom until he was too old to stand the incessant travel. Then they placed him in retirement and paid his expenses until death, but with a little of the vast fortunes he had made, he was able to to the world that "Blind Tom subsisted on charity." It is a fact that some people have no hearts. NEGRO SOLDIERS—THEIR RIGHTS Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, in the National House of Representatives, on the Charge of His Negro Troops at Fort Harrison, Va., in 1864. "It became my painful duty, sir, to follow in the track of that charging column, and there, in a space not wider than the clerk's desk and 300 yards long, lay the dead bodies of 543 of my colored comrades, fallen in defense of their country, who had offended us with their flag and its honor, as a willing sacrifice; and as I rode along among them guiding my horse this way and that way lest he should profane with his hoof what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzen faces upturned in the shining sun to heaven, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which I had wronged them, my health if flag had only been to them a flag of stripes, on which no star of glory has ever shown for them—feeling that I had wronged them in the past, and believing what was the future of my country to them—among my dead comrades there I swore to myself a solemn oath, 'may my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to defend the rights of these men who have given their blood for me and my country this day and for their race forever;' and God helping me, I will keep that oath. "From that hour all prejudice was gone, and an old-time states-right Democrat became a lover of the Negro race.

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 That manufactured 45 minute Roosevelt demonstration in the Chicago convention on Wednesday was very amusing to those who know a political thing or two. Twelve thousand Afro-Americans last week in mass meetings held in our Chicago churches protested against the nomination of Taft and the outrageous action of the national committee in seating the "illy-white" delegates, so-called. Over 5,000 signed a protest-petition to be presented to the convention this week. Strong speeches were made by leading Afro-Americans from all sections of the country. Good! The president (white) of the board of education of Chattanooga, Tenn., recently made a most insulting speech at the colored high school graduating exercises and was all but hissed and booted on the stage by an audience of 4,000 people. He wanted notoriously, as usual, and got it and something else he was not looking for. Strange what fools some people will make of themselves for a little cheap notoriously, of a kind, too, that no gentleman would want. "LILY-WHITEISM" OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED! All of the spurious "illy-white delegates" of the south except two or three were seated in the national Republican convention at Chicago this week by the nation, committee which, by the way, really nominated Taft. The faithful and regularly elected delegates from that section of the country, many of whom are Afro-Americans, were turned down and barred out of the convention by the committee for these same "illy white" delegates (7). In the face of this now notorious fact the Taft subsidized N. Y. Age had the nerve and gall to announce last week that "illy-whiteism died in the Republican national committee." At that very moment the committee was putting the finishing touches on its work of giving full and complete recognition to Hanna, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft's "precious thing, lily-whiteism at the south." It was the thing that enabled the national Republican committee to nominate Taft! The highwaymen methods adopted by the committee in bringing about the desired result as well as the itself, recognition of "illy-whiteism," cannot fail to injure the party's chances of success this fall, almost if not quite beyond repair. When it is considered in conjunction with other generally recognized and equally well known, if does not take a prophet nor the result. As far as the loyal Afro-American is concerned in forcing the nomination of Taft upon the party in a high-handed and manifestly unfair and all but criminal way, President Roosevelt, his man Hitchcock and their followers, anything but experienced and far-seeing Republicans, have put the question of success or defeat squarely up to them as well as the old soldiers, organized labor, the loyal, self-respecting Jews and the business interests of the country. This last reference includes, of course, the tens of thousands out of employment because of the Roosevelt hard times. It remains to be seen what they will do. On their action rests the victory or defeat of Taft at the polls in November. Thus early in the day it does look as if Bryan's more or less spectacular third nomination will bring him success, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." He is certainly trying again and the third trial certainly bids fair to be the successful one. The perseverance, aggressive persistence, political and other ability he has exhibited has been and is simply wonderful. Watch Bryan! The Taft subsidized Negroes, all of whom turned their backs on our one great and good friend in public life, Senator Foraker, and proved themselves political graffers of one kind or another, have not only proven disloyalty to the race and a stench in the nostrils of all its truly loyal members, but have a day of reckoning coming in November that will be as a typhoon to a zephyr when compared with the disappointment the local black graffers and subsidized Taftes felt when the candidate for mayor of Cleveland, Congressman Theodore Roosevelt Taft Burton, was so signally defeated last fall. "He who laughs best, laughs last." In November will be the best time to laugh, gratters! It will then be our turn. Senator Foraker at Wilberforce! But the graft Taft Negro is fond of ching Senator Foraker as himself the conspirator who was color line in the Brownsville his charge. So read the words of Senator Foraker at Wilberforce; "Why have I bothered myself about this matter? My critics have assigned a good many reasons, all of a reprehensible character. Let me tell you the real reason and let me tell it in the language of Secretary Taft. I refer to what he said when Athens, O., was shot up two or three years ago and who was the regular army who were demolished with our national guard. He sent representatives of the government to look up the defense of the men who had been arrested for the crime. The citizens of Athens protested. He answered that 'an enlisted man is more or less a ward of the government, and if the government steps in merely to see that he is tried according to law, it seems to me that it is an exercise of a discretion which the government has. That answer was a his head and his heart. The reason that he prompted me. I thought that what a white soldier was entitled to at Athens, O., a Negro soldier was entitled to at Brownville, Texas."

Take two large onions and remove the outside skin carefully and neatly; cut the root and stalk end even. Take all the center out of the onions except three or four of the outer coats, taking care not to make them too thick; if a hole lacerdently made it must be filled up with the bit that came out. Put four tablespoonfuls of chopped cooked meat into a bowl, add half a cupful of grated bread, one teaspoonful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of milk, salt and pepper to taste. Fill the two onions with this stuffing and put on the lids. Place them in a small saucepan, pour the onion juice over the stew the onions gently for one hour.

INVOKES RACE VOTE SENATOR FORAKER TELLS AFRO- AMERICANS TO DEMAND SUP- PORT OF BILL! QUOTES PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AS COMPARING THE BLACK SOLDIER TO MURDER- ER CZOLGOSZ. 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 such candidate as would be president and 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 campaign they can call in the senate this session two: all were introduced—one by Mr. Foraker, providing for the restatement of the men without condition, because they were guillfulness of the charge against them, and the other by Senator Warner of Missouri, permitting them to get the president of 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. Woolsey, the York chairman of the executive commission of the tuition league of the United States, asking for information concerning the action of the senate. Senator Foraker has made public his reply, and in it he incorporated some of the languages of the state into the constitution. 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 no more sympathy than Guiteau, who assassinated President or Czolokowski, 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 senator, I was unable to get a vote, even if succeeded in getting the bill that I had unable to pass the bill if I did 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 then meant defeat. "A vote at this time, therefore, meant defeat, and the end of all hope of restoring the soldiers. Postponement of the 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 Brownville subject has been narrowed down to a question of my 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 asked, 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 Guteau, and that my bill meant only to force a lot of murders into the city, and that he would feel it his duty if we 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 Republicanists 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 would have, 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 defeated at this session the colored voters of the country would not have had any means of voting their dislike 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 re-election to the House of Representatives, that they will pledge themselves to support the Foraker bill. Can Aid Race and Soldiers. 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 have been before. 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 course we shall all see and appreciate what now appears to be so disappointing and discouraging is for the best." "Hoping this quotation from my letter to Mr. White will answer my inquiry, and that the answer may be satisfactory, 1. I will answer very truly," J. B. FORAKER. COLORED BROWNS MIDNIGHT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOP OF HOPP TAFT DRAGS SOLDIERS BY RECK TO ROOSEVELT WHO KNOCKS THEM IN! 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 because 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. events, and especially the action and attitude of President Roosevelt as the same affect the people in general and us in particular, and being fully satisfied that his present chief purpose is to succeed himself or dictate his successor, in the person of Hon. William H. Taft, as the Republican candidate for the great office which an assassin's bullet made it possible for him to hold, his life having been preserved, the valor of the colored soldiers at San Juan Hill, and being satisfied, also, that he is mustering to the support of that chief purpose all the power, force and influence that attach to the great office of president, combined with his marvelous personality, wherein elements of love and revenge, passion and prejudice, good and evil are so strangely mixed as to make the whole an uncertaintable and daunting battle, and we therefore, declare that we believe his nomination or that of his secretary of the candidate of the Republican party for president would be unwise and dangerous to the party's success, and, if made, will be regarded as having made against the manifold protests and well known of the loyalty to the Republic and loyalty to which devotion and loyalty the party owes its victory in a hard fought battle, and which is essential to its success in the approaching state and national contest. Our opposition to the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt or Secretary Taft is not chimerical or whimsical, but just fair and reasonable. In the main it grows out of the wrongs, the flagrant and cruel injustice that we have suffered and endured, and all the sufficient is the discharge without honor of the colored soldiers stationed at Brownville, Tex. There can be no reasonable excuse for such flagrant abuse of executive power, and we congratulate the army and navy and the people of our country, and especially do we congratulate Ohio's truly favorite son, her boy soldier, her able jurist, her present senior senator and the nation's matchless statesman. Foraker that a majority of the Republican members of the senate military committee has placed the seal of their condemnation upon that shameful order. We regard with con "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 power of the nation, not with the masses as we find them in the Eastern and Middle states. He is for revision, without stating when or 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 important part in the party. To the credit of Mr. Taft he it said, that he, as secretary of war, at once recognized the injustice of the impulsive order of the president in dismissing dishonorably and without hearing the colored battalion for the supposed offense of a few of their number, and in the absence of Mr. number, on his way to President suspended the order. But the president, when he heard of it, directed Mr. Taft to cancel the order of suspension, which was done immediately. This last is the only official act of Mr. Taft, which we are inclined to criticise. Rather than offend the president, he concurred in an injustice against 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 innocent man suffer.' And all this is true, whatever may be the circumstances, as to the technical military right of the president to dismiss. 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. Would a battalion of Irishmen? If so, the whole northwest would have gone glimmering. But the patient Negro is expected to stand insult and injustice without a murmur. * * Finally, the nomination of Mr. Taft seems not to be demanded as a reward for party control. A political resignation 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 exhausted. But we still have faith and hope in the assembled wisdom of the great leaders of the nation, and we 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 baptism of true Republicanism and shout to the nation that Lincoln can worthily fall. That all eyes will turn to Senator Foraker, C. L. MAXWELL, Chairman. 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 affray, 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. "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." ```markdown ``` PLEASE notify us at once if your Gazette falls to arrive as regularly and satisfactorily as it should.

Read what Madam Robinson, the Famous Black Patti, Queen of the Opera, says of Kink-ine PROF. ROBERTS, New York City, Dear Sir: I have used your Kink-ine for the past year and my hair is growing very fast. I find it the most delightful hair dressing and tonic I have ever used, altogether different from the many cheap pomades and vaselines on the market. It makes my hair so beautiful, soft, silky, and has entirely removed all dandruff and stopped it from falling out and breaking off. And enables me to do it up in any of the many styles that I use on the stage. It does all you claim for it, and I would not be without it. Yours sincerely, MME. ROBINSON. Kink-ine Hair Dressing is a delightful perfumed tonic prepared largely for the use of colored people; is guaranteed to be absolutely safe and harmless. It makes harsh, stubborn, kinky, curly hair soft, silky and glossy, enables you to comb it with case and to dress it in any style that you may wish.

OIL CONSUMER- Don't You Think You Have Been Fooled Long Enough? TRADE MARK Is there any justice in your paying 50c to 75c per gallon for the same grade of Cylinder Oil that another man gets for 25c to 30c per gallon? When you pay those high prices you are simply "getting the hooks." You are paying $4.00 to $5.00 per day for livery bills the oil agent puts on his expense book. You are paying the feed bills for team, agent, and driver, and you are paying the agent's commission bearded, and some of the agents get a pretty good rakeoff. All of the above comes out of you. IS IT FAIR? You can buy at the same figure any large buyer in the manufacturing districts pays by ordering from the manufacturer direct same as he does. For over 18 years our goods have been going from "Factory to Consumer" without a cent of expense in the way of agent's commissions, livery hire, feed bills, railroad fare, hotel bills, drinks, or cigars.

THE PURITAN OIL CO., Cleveland, Ohio THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1908. Practical Fashions LADIES' TUCKED SHIRT-WAIST. Paris, Pattern No. 2051, All Seams Allowed.—This simple shirt-waist model, with its two broad turs turning toward the shoulder, is suitable for taffetas, as well as for cashmere, albatross or French flannel. Any of the heavy linens, or Madras would look equally well made in this style, and chambra, Indian-head cotton, Victoria or Persian lawns are also good materials for its development. In gray-and-black striped hand-erchel linen, worn with a linen collar and a broad tie of black satin, it would be suitable for everyday wear. The pattern is in eight sizes—32 to 46 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the waist requires $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 20 inches wide, $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 27 inches wide, $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 36 inches wide, and $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 42 inches wide.

GIRLS' GABRIELLE APRON. M Paris Pattern No. 1600. All Seams Allowed—Polka-dotted dimity has been used for this pretty little square-necked apron, which hangs in straight folds from the yoke band of all-over insertion. A full frill of embroidery matching the insertion gives the impression of a cap sleeve, and the small pockets on each side of the front are also trimmed with the insertion. The fullness of the back, which closes at the center, is held in place by broad ash ends of the material. The pattern is in four sizes—6 to 12 years. For a girl of eight years the apron requires $2\frac{3}{4}$ yards of material 27 inches wide, or two yards 36 inches wide; as illustrated, $1\frac{3}{4}$ yard of edging $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide for the frills, and $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard of insertion. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department, of this paper," and give the insertion to give size and number of pattern. Howella on the Wicked Rich. “Riches,” writes William Dean Howells in a whimsical mood, “riches in another is having a good deal more than you have. Economy,” he continues, with chuckling satire, “is trimming your own hats sometimes, and giving up all your clubs but the one you like best. As for charity, if you’re poor, it’s a plain case. You can’t do this or that good action; you haven’t got the money. But the rich never can say they cannot afford to do it, so they have a bad conscience, and nothing is so depraving as a bad conscience, and that,” concludes Mr. Howells with satisfaction, “is what makes the rich so wicked.”—Harper’s Magazine. Sad Sign of the Times. A reputable New Yorker, recently returned from Chicago, says that the saddest thing he saw in that metropolis was a fine, roomy, old-fashioned house facing the lake front on Clark street. Over the broad front door in tall gold letters is the inscription, "Optimists' Club." Equally prominent is the display of placards marked "To Let."—a sad sign of the times.—Harper's Weekly. HER DESTINATION IN DOUBT. Little Girl's Remark Not Complimentary to Grandma. Ethel is of the mature age of five. Recently her grandmother concluded that it devolved on her to instruct the child in religious matters. "You must be a good girl, Ethel," she said. "Then you will go to heaven when you die." Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with this reward for exceptional conduct. "Don't you want to go to heaven?" asked grandma, with a look of reproach. "Oh, I don't know," temporized Ethel. "I guess not." "Why not?" demanded grandma, severely. "Because maybe I couldn't get out," answered Ethel. "You wouldn't want to get out," replied grandma. "Oh, yes, I should," returned Ethel, with conviction. "No," argued grandma, "you would not. Why should you want to get out of heaven?" "Why," answered Ethel, "I guess I'd want to go and see you once in a while, wouldn't I?"—Woman's Home Companion. INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT. After Inflammatory Rheumatism, Hair Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed Sores Developed—Only Cuticura Proved Successful. "About four years ago I had a very severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. My skin peeled, and the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very raplidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many 'sure cures' but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared and soon I felt better. The bed sores went very soon after a few applications of Cuticura Ointment, and when I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my hair it began to regain its former glossy appearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Henderson, 138 Broad St., Stamford, Conn., March 6 and 12, 1907." STRONG ON THE PROPRIETIES. How Could She Be Expected to Address, Perfect Stranger? A traveler in the mountains of Tennessee had been stowed away in the best bed the cottage afforded. Late in the night he was awakened by the voice of the paterfamilias addressed to the daughter, who was entertaining company by the fireside. "Mandy," growled the old man, "is that young man there yit?" "Yep, pap." "Is he got his arm around yer waist?" "Yep, pap." "You all tell him to take't away." "Aw, ye tell him yourself, pap," replied the girl, in a dull, lifeless voice. "He air a plumb stranger to me."—Success Magazine. She stood gazing into empty space She Didn't Know Them Marion was toiling bravely upstairs paper and pencil in hand, ready to ask questions of the first person she chanced upon. Bujng just six, she was of the "inquiring" age, and thereupon endeavored to make every one's life a burden to them. The first person she met was Bridget, the upstairs girl. "Bwidget," she bisped, "pwease give me the letters in the afabet." Bridget repeated them slowly and impressively. "And now, Bwidget," the child went on, "I want the letters that are not in the afabet." Bridget was thoughtful for a moment: "Bless me soul, darlin' child," she answered, "I don't know them." "TWO TOPERS." A Teacher's Experience. "My friends call me 'The Postum Preacher,'" writes a Minn. school teacher, "because I preach the gospel of Postum everywhere I go, and have been the means of liberating many 'coffee-pot slaves.'" "I don't care what they call me so long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum. "While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostration, which took me three years to rally from. "Mother coaxed me to use Postum, but I thought coffee would give me strength. So things went, and when I married I found my husband and I were both coffee toppers, and I can sympathize with a drunkard who tries to leave off his cusps. "At last in sheer desperation I bought a package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it, served it with good cream, and asked my husband how he liked the coffee. "We each drank three cups aplece, and what a satisfied feeling it left. Our conversion has lasted several years and will continue as long as we live, for it has made us new—nerves are steady, appetites good, sleep sound and refreshing." "There's a Reason."

Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health in northern New Jersey have been taking measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. The health board of Washington, N. J., has published a remedy which is said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of the general public. This is the publication as it has appeared in the papers of Washington; "Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop pine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by the disease, and won his renown by simple remedies." A. Bare Possibility. In his diary, which is incorporated in the "Life and Letters of Sir Richard Claverhouse Jebb," the great Greek scholar recorded a flash of his own wit which is of a most appealing variety. At a dinner at Cambridge Sir Richard, then Mr. Jebb, took in a young woman, who got through the first course with little conversation. Suddenly she startled him by saying, in the most unprovoked way, while she was still dining with apparent good appetite: "Prof. Jebb, do you think women ever die of a broken heart?" "Perhaps other organs may have something to do with it," he proffered in reply—Youth's Companion. Wrong Selections "Why doesn't that man get on in politics? He seems capable, and industrious."

It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pains in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism needs immediate attention. In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is Mrs. Will Young, of 6 Columbia Ave., Rockland, Me, says: "I was troubled for a long time with dreadful backaches and a pain in my side, and was miserable in every way. I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham's (aged 18) wrote to others and decided to try it; after taking three bottles I can truly say that I never felt so well in my life." Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: "I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. Lydia E. Pinkham's (aged 18) wrote to me and made me feel like a new woman." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN For thirty years Lydia E.
