TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 49. MORNING COSTUME THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION Bright-pink chambray has been made up into this simple little costume. The waist has the fullness of the front and back distributed in groups of narrow backward-turning tucks, and closes under the narrow box-plait at the center-front. The wide sail collar, turnback cuffs and jaunty four-in-hand tie, are of black-and-white striped French gingham, and the belt is of similar material, or of the chambray, according to taste. Both sides of the panel of the ski jacket are ornamented with flat, white pearl buttons; these buttons form the outer layer of the chambray seam and an inverted box-plait which gives the required fullness to the lower edge. The wide bias band, which may be omitted if desired, is of the striped linen, stitched along both its edges. IN DUTTON THERE IS STRENCT Bright-pink chambray has been made. The waist has the fullness of the front and row backward-turning tucks, and closes counterparts. The wide sailor collar, turn tie, are of black-and-white striped French material, or of the chambray, according to the skirt are ornamented with flax buttons forming the fastening on the left, and an inverted box-plait which gives the The wide blas band, which may be omitted, stitched along both its edges. COAT FOR YOUNG GIRL. Here Is Very Pretty Garment Made Up in Empire Etyle. This pretty coat is made in empire style, the skirt fitting the yoke without fullness. Pale blue cloth is used here; it is trimmed with soft frillings of the same colored silk, a little collar of lace finishes the coat at neck, it is also edged with a frill of the silk. The sleeves are long, with a deep cuff at the wrist, and are edged with a narrow strap of the silk, two deep capes completely cover the empire top, and fall over the sleeves, they have scalloped edges, and are finished with a strap of silk and a narrow frill. Hat of soft straw, trimmed with pale blue shaded feathers. Materials required: 3 yards 46 inches wide, 1 yard silk, a lace collar, and 4 yards of lining. In Dotted Swiss. Some smart colored effects are achieved in the dotted swisses, and there are some particularly pretty frocks of this material in medium dark shades thickly sprinkled with very tiny dots of self-color, white or black inset with clung insertion matching the dot and worn over slips of self color or white. The straw colorings, ponge shades and other light yellow or brown tones are especially popular in all of the thin cotton stuffs and are always cool looking in combination with white. Every Swish of Skirt Is Fragrant. The Parisienne, who is devoted to the trailing gown, has her skirt sponged about the hem after each wearing, first with an odorless cleaning essence and then, with perfume, so that every swish of her skirt hem is fragrant.—From a Paris Letter to Vogue. Adjustable Elevator Deep flounders of white embroidered muslin, gathered or plaited into a binding, can be bought ready to button to a plain muslin petticoat. THE GAZETTE Wash Ribbon Attractively Arranged Has Good Effect. Some of the new lingerie is trimmed with rows of wash ribbon in pink or light blue so arranged that they are sandwiched between two rows of valenciennes insertion. A nightgown, for instance, would be finished with a pointed yoke of alternating lace and ribbon, finished at top with merely a narrow beading, with a very small bow of ribbon to match. It gives the effect of a great quantity of graceful color while in reality the material is very little and the work is very easy. A corset cover could, of course, be made on the same principle, although it is better not to use quite so much ribbon on one of those minute garments, because it shows too much through the sheer waist of summer. Petticatoe, however, might be finished with a ruffle of wide lace and ribbon, and the effect would be quite magnificent, particularly if Dresden ribbon be used. One of the chief advantages in using ribbon in combination with lace insertion is that the edges may be left as they are, while, if bands of the material are used instead, the edges must be rolled—a feat which requires an expert, and which prevents the work being done on the sewing machine. Engagement Gift. Hand-embroidered tops for chemises and nightgowns may be bought at comparatively little cost, to be attached to the main part of the garment, which may be made at home. This is quite an i novation, but one likely to be very profitable, for, in buying a ready-made chemise, for instance, it is almost sure to be too long or in some way unsatisfactory, and the same may be said of a nightgown. If just the hand-embroidered yoke is bought, however, and the rest of the gown made at home, the material will surely be more carefully selected and the garment may be made to exactly fit. The hand-embroidered yokes are attached to the skirt of the garment by means of some beading or valenciennes lace insertion, or it might be done with a little bit of narrow real lace. These detached yokes make ideal gifts for prospective brides, or they may be carefully saved and made up at some future time into really handsome articles for the trousseau. Color Combinations The latest manifestation of odd color schemes is found in a costume having a tunic skirt of electric blue shantung silk and a frivolous little coat of jade green satin foulard. These coats continue to flourish, and with them are being shown waistcoats of costly old tapestries or brocades, many of them handsome enough to adorn the crystal shelves of the curio cabinet. Parasol for a Bridesmaid. Painted parasols are again the fashion and spring blossoms the chosen designs. One with sprays of exiguistically tinted apple blossoms is especially appropriate for a bridesmaid to carry, as the delicate coloring will blend with any color costume.—Vogue. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1908. MUST SMASH THE NOTION! MUST SMASH THE NOTION! THAT NOTHING CAN ALIENATE US FROM THE REPUBLI- CAN PARTY, TO SECURE PROPER CONSIDERATION! So Says a Leading Republican Editor of the East, in Discussing the "Political Policy of Negro Voters." Springfield, Mass. — The Republican can of this city, one of the very best daily papers in this country, and always friendly our race, published an editorial recenty of which the following is the very pertinent concluding half: "The Republican party professes to be the guardian of the race it frees from slavery, yet its guardianship now amounts to nothing because it need not compete for Negro support in elections. Let it be understood that the party has a special vote for the opposition unless certain things are done, and the party in power usually makes great efforts at "placiation." The Jews of New York who are numerous enough to turn the Empire state either way in a presidential election, never fail to be represented by the party. Both parties fear the labor organization and the independent vote they represent. And rather than offend the Pacific coast states President Roosevelt squarely reversed his policy on the Japanese coole invasion. They are not the only party that the Pacific coast vote with planks on oriental immigration. The Negroes of the country, particularly of the northern and border states, need only to smash the prevalent notion that nothing could alienate them from the republican party to find themselves getting much the same consideration. They can never fix terms for an alliance. They can never agree that they are something besides a permanent asset, and 'go with the plant.' "The effect upon Negro interests of the race's political independence would be advantageous in more than one respect. If the Negroes of the north were to vote for the Democrat's ticket this year, they would not only force upon Republicans recognition of the fact that their party must be represented in the Senate, but would produce a kindler feeling toward the Negro race among Democrats, especially in the south. Ex-Senator Chandler of New Hampshire does not err seriously in this matter. He is quoted as telling a Negro audience in Washington that "The oppression of the Negro in the south is due to the fact that members of your party have been supported by Republican party. Now would not the Democratic party feel more kindly toward the Negro if he were to vote the Democratic ticket?" The reasonableness of the supposition cannot be decried, "or the sharp cleavage in the south between the white and black races has always been intensified by the fact that the political party which supported the political party which regarded as an enemy of their section. Let the Negro voters show that they are no longer bound to an unwerving allegiance to the Republicans, and the southern Democrats could not fail to regard them with less prejudice and bitterness. In no very long time, the south might make concessions to the colored race in northern centers in political support in northern centers in political party in important elections. The possibilities in this direction deserve serious consideration. "Suggestions of this character are offered solely from the Negro point of view. Some time there will be developments not unlike those outlined, because the race must sooner or later fight its own battles in politics if it is to have a political existence." GEORGE PETERS A WONDER! What He Did to Cutler and Thompson and Other Local Fighters. "My last act in the way of matching fighters was when I made that match between Stanley Cutler, my young heavyweight protege, and George Peters, the black cyclone from Detroit, back about the year of 1886. That was one of the hardest glove fights ever witnessed in these matches, and I thought Cutler would not survive. I was given so bad a scare that I took a vow then and there that I would never make another match, and I have never broken that vow, and I never will." Thus spoke A. R. Rumsey, the big shipping master of the Lake Carriers association, during a visit to the steamboat yarn with Capt. Nelson, United States of steamboat hulls, and the writer the other day. Continuing, Runsey salit: "That man Peters was the toughest of his size and weight I ever came in contact with. He could hit like, a mule kicking, and he was as fast as lightning, tricky as a jacket, and he could be a perfect judge of distance. Cutler looked to me be a coming world-beater before he met that fellow Peters. He was a most promising lad. He had the height, reach, and he could box well, and hit hard. He put it on Peters for a while, but that little black fellow had to be the best he went along, and before the thing was over he handed out some terrible punishment to poor Stanley, putting him away about the twentieth-egound round. "That was the same Peters who knocked out big Mervyn Thompson," chimed in Capt. Nelson. "He was brought ever here from Detroit by an old-timer named Bob Wright. Thompson was at the time being touted as the coming champion of the world. He had been beating everything put before him, and was being spoken of as an opponent for the great John L. Sullivan, who was then champion. Well, sir, I shall never forget how Peters played with the big Thompson. He tied Mervine and his friend for first place, stung him with that whim-like left on the face almost at will. Thompson rushed after the lighter man like a wild bull, swinging and banging as though determined to annihilate the colored fellow at once. Peters would dance away cleverly, and neatly he would side-step those terrific rushes, but always getting in a cutting little hole. Then along about the fifth or seventh round, as big Mervine was wallowing around that ring like a ship with a broken rudder. Peters by a sudden feint for the stomach with his left, brought Thompson's guard down low, and then like a flash he whipped the right over to the jaw, and Thompson steered. It was the biggest aupuncture people of Cleveland had ever received in a fistic way." WALTER C. KELLY. NEGRO AND REPUBLICAN PARTY One of the clearly thought out suggestions regarding the treatment of the Negro race by the Republican party managers was that of J. G. H. Woods at a meeting of the Negro-American Political Equality league at Chicago during convention week. As the chairman of the Rt. Tribune of the 19th, Mr. Woods said. There is just one way for the Negro to get L's rights, and that is to use the balance of power that God has given him in these northern states regardless of parties. If we put the Republican party out of business this fall it may not do us any immediate good. But you can bet that four Democrats will be around wanting to do business with us. And what is more, if we show the Democrats that we can put them into power, these same Democrats that have passed the laws against us will be mighty tender of our feelings in order to keep in power. If the Negro of the north had adopted that policy ten years ago, there would be remnant of the race question at the south-to-day. How can Negroes expect any special consideration from the Democratic party, when they vote against that party in a mass, every time, everywhere, and under all circumstances? And why should they expect any special consideration from the Democratic party, when they vote, everywhere, and under all circumstances, they vote for the Republican party? A. Chicago dispatch to the New York World says: "By far the best speech delivered in the recent Republican national convention was that by W. O. Emery of Georgia, seconding the nomination of Senator Foraker. Both in point of diction and sincerity in delivery it was declared by other delegates to be the ablest of all the addresses."

Zion church, Washington, in the course of a sermon Sunday morning at Enon Colored Baptist church, adhere to Negro to look good not to the Republican Party for his salvation. Among other things he said: "For years the Negro has been a vassal of the Republican party, thereby alienating some of his trust friends in other parties, losing out politically and being otherwise the Republican. This morning prints a dispatch from Chicago saying that it is the scheme of the Roosevelt cohorts to reduce the Negro to a mere automaton in the councils of the Republican party in the south. This is most likely the result of the race's hostility to the Brownville discharge, as well as the Negro to a mere automaton in the laws disfrianching the Negro. We must remember that we have as many real friends among the Democrats as among the Republicans, and we must encompass Taft's defeat at the polls, thus rebuking the Republican party for its retreat in the Republican party, false friends in the Republican party we will show the world that we are not the perpetual slaves of the Republican party."

Fort Morgan, Col., June 29, 1998.—Editor Gatzear,—Dear Sir: I am indeed sorry the Republican delegates have assassinated the party. We Negroes can't now support Taft and respect ourselves. If we do so we will advocate a "square deal" and advocates for all men, and then says the Twenty-fifth infantry battalion is not entitled to a hearing and are equal to the murderers of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. In the name of heaven, why do we support courts when such crimes are committed in townville" Roosevelt is on the earth? yet we have Negroes, even in enlightenced Cleveland, who claim to edit a newspaper "molding public opinion" who still have confidence in Theodore and Taft? What is required to show some of us that their "square deal" will not be performed. We have a grave duty to perform fall and we must decide wisely, and that question is, "How shall we vote?" Truly yours. JOHN G. SMITH. Dr. F. J. Shadd Dead Washington, D. C.-Dr. Furman J. Shadd died on the 23d, after a long illness. He was dean of the medical staff and secretary of that department of Freedmen's hospital. Dr. Shadd was one of the most popular and most substantial citizens. His death has the sympathy of hundreds of friends and acquaintances in all parts of the country. Fewer Negroes were members of the Chicago convention than have ever been in attendance since the civil war, says the Boston Transcript. Yes, and among the most Republican vote among the Negroes the next November will be correspondingly less—Chipotte (N. C.) Star of Zion, organ of the A. M. E. Zion church. IN UNION THERE IS STRAIN [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. A Very Promising Young Ohioan. Going ing to the State's State's Treasury Department. Warren, O.-J. I., E. Ormes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Ormes and brother of Miss Olive of this city, has been appointed to a position in the treasury department of Tuskegee, Ala., institute. He has been in the south for three years, during which time he has served as principal of the Richmond business college, Richmond, Md. He has served as the Shepard of the International S. S. association, and secretary of the Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., Durham, N. C. He is a graduate of the business department of Wilberforce university, and also attended the Bryant, Stratton & Smith school of this city. He is 24 years old. Mr. Ormes has, by his honesty, integrity and character, been a friend with an affable and cheerful disposition, won the esteem of all who knew him in this community, and seems to have done the same in his present residence. His graduation thesis at Wilberforce was "The Accumulation of Wealth Among Negroes." It appears that his advocacy of wealth as a solution of the race problem, and admiration for Dr. Booker T. Ward, for Dr. Booker T. Ward, on this same economic principle, has secured him his new position. He leaves Durham about September 1 for Tuskegee. Harris-Saunders Wedding. Toledo, O.—The wedding of Ella L. Harris, eldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Harris, and Mr. Charles Saunders was brilliantly celebrated last week Wednesday evening. Burnham B. Whiting of Cleveland presided at the organ, playing a lullaby and "The Pilgrims' Chorus" from Tannhauser during the seating of the guests. Mrs. George Rogers also sang exquisitely "I Wait for Thee." The bridal party entered to the Lohengrin chorus; "Traumeter" was played softly during the reading of the service and the joyous strains of Mendelssohn at the closet. The ushers were Messrs. J. M. Brown Janet deeth. B. McK. Ward and Wilbur Randolph. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders will be at home July 15 at 617 Indiana avenue. Will Not Support Taft! Seattle, Wash.—The following resolution was adopted on June 18 by the Afro-American Political club, a local organization: "We feel that the honor of the race is at stake in this matter and think far more of that honor than the national power, we therefore cannot support it. We cannot port the state republican ticket, but not the national. Our organization has at this time a membership of 350." Leaves Her $5,000. Bristol, Pa.-By the will of the late Elizabeth Lacy of Wrightstown, this county, Anna M. Reading, an Afro-American, who was for many years a faithful servant of the deceased, in the farmhouse in northworth $5,000. Relatives of Mrs. Laurey seek the furniture of the farmhouse and much valuable silverware. Gans Expects to Win! San Francisco, Cal.-Joe Gans is a 2 to 1 favorite over batting Nelson and there is not much Dane money in sight. Gans' manager, Ben Selig, is confident that the champion will dispose of the Dane in less time than it would have been in a field, and has wagered $500 with Nelson that Gans will win in 20 rounds. Mr. Joseph Lee Dead! Boston, Mass.-Mr. Joseph Lee, the well known caterer and hotel proprietor, died recently. For more than 30 years he has been a prominent figure in the catering and catering business in and about Bengal. He is the inventor of a bread-making and a bread-crumbling machine. He left a wife, son and threedaughters. Color Line Cost $50 and Costs Boston, Mass.—The friends of Mrs. Florence Gray are congratulating her upon winning her lawsuit against Mary Corliss (white) who keeps a restaurant for lunch, and who told Mrs. Gray she could not be served because she was colored. The Corliss woman knows better now. 138 After 29! New York City—William Brooks Mason, an Afro-American who asserts he is 128 years old, and who lives at No. 48 East One Hundred and Thirty-second street, hobbled into the East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street police station recently to ask aid in searching for his 29-year-old wife. All of Them and Many More! The Negroes attending the Chicago convention are spreading it from Dan to Beersheba that they do not want Taft. How many of these orators will have the courage to express the same convictions after the Chicago convention?—Nashville (Tenn.) Globe President Jones' "Case in Equity." Wilberforce, O.—Rev. Joshua H. Jones, president of Wilberforce university for seven or more years, was not re-elected recently by the trustees. He may be, however, later on. 2 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. There is going to be trouble, and great disappointment for "political scavengers," this fall. Our southern race newspapers are very "sore" over the recent Chicago convention's recognition of "illy-whiteism." There are others! Eugene V. Debs, the candidate for president, of the Socialist party, is right on the so-called race question, and has been outspoken along this line for years. Afro-Americans who wish to vote this year and cannot vote for Taft or Bryan, will do well to remember this. We have talked with more than 50 Afro-American voters who are visiting in this city, attracted to Cleveland this week by the N. E. A. meeting or by the reduced railroad rates, and have found but ONE, thus far, who announced his intention to vote for Taft. Every one of the others, frankly stated their intention to vote for one of the other candidates for president, or to refrain from voting. In this last class, were less than one-third of the total number, and they are from many different points in the north and south, particularly the former. "THE PERILOUS NEGRO VOTE." The following editorial from the Philadelphia Record merits republication in The Gazette: "Of all the large cities of the north Philadelphia has the largest proportion of Negro citizens. As a rule they are more than more than our white citizens to go to the polls and cast their votes, and they vote solidly for Republican candidates. There are reasons for this preference which are not discreditable to Negro voters. They do not forget that their right to vote was conferred upon them at the instance and through the effort of the Republic when the gratitude of the Negro voter is a solid Republican asset. No matter whether the policies of the party have been right or wrong, there has been no consequent change in African fidelity. This is an unfortunate condition. The voter who casts his ballot blindly without reference to the character of the men or the possible effect of policies he has made. He almost as undesirable a citizen as the wretch who sells his vote to the highest bidder. "The time has come when Negro voters will have to make choice between a suitable exercise of the elective franchise with a view to the promotion of good government and the danger of losing it through disfranchisement. Votes that are not free are always perilous. A possible incitement to tree voting at the coming congress will arise if the congress mr arise out of the effort Senator Foraker, who appeals to Negro voters throughout the country to aid in defeating candidates who will not pledge themselves to support his bill for undoing the wrong done to the Negro soldiers by President Roosevelt in the Brownsville matter. That is a measure of reparation which the Negro is fairly entitled to insist upon. If as a result of this incident, a beginning shall have been made, Negro voters will take right of the consent of the voting and of the responsibilities inhering in the exercise of self-government ultimate good may come out of the presidential blundering." What is true of the Afro-American voter of Philadelphia is equally true of those everywhere in this country where they are permitted to exercise the privilege of voting. The first emancipation in recent years from blind support of Republican candidates came to the largest number of them, right here in Cleveland, last fall, when they so materially assisted in the defeat of Congressman Theodore Burton, Republican candidate for mayor, because he had repeatedly expressed a determination to do all in his power to assist in the elimination from public life of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, the race's great and good friend, and because he (Burton) was so strongly endorsed for the position he sought by President "Brownsville" Roosevelt. They (local Afro-Americans) certainly made proper "exercise of the elective franchise" on election day in November last, with a view to the promotion of their best interests at stake at that time and the present time. But for Burton's signal defeat, he would have been endorsed by the Taft "state" convention of this year to succeed Senator Foraker. That crushing defeat put an end to all such endorsement talk, and the near future will prove the wisdom of the commendable course last fall of the emancipa- ted local Afro-Americans, if indeed it has not already been made clear. According to the Record, their's was "free voting," and we agree with it, and urge our people on to more of it as often as the race's interests demand it. The ballot is all we have that can be effectively used in our own behalf, and God knows we have at last reached a crisis in our affairs when we must indulge "in free voting" wisely and well, or as a race "go to the wall." It is not only separation for "The Black Battalion" that hangs in the balance, dependent entirely upon our "free voting," but also the suffrage and citizen rights of our people in the south where many thousands have been disfranchised in seven or eight states, and "Jim Crow" cars insult daily, hourly, thousands upon thousands of interstate passengers, many of our women and innocent children. This is the condition that confronts us today and will do so this fall. Mr. Tatt, whose speeches at Greensboro, Tuskegee, Lexington, Grand Rapids and other points, north and south, show him to be in closer sympathy (to say the least) with our enemies (white) at the south than with a long and great suffering people, must declare himself on these three issues and so in a manner and way acceptable, or we will simply be compelled, as a matter of self-defense, to indulge in "free voting" in November next that will, beyond all question, put him out of the running. This same applies to all other Republican candidates for executive and legislative offices, this fall. To endorse President Roosevelt's policies means to endorse his course in the Brownsville matter, and his refusal throughout his administrations to become the least bit active in doing his sworn duty as chief executive of this nation to uphold the organic laws of the law being made a footmat and farce of by the disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" state of the south. That there may be no doubt as to the three issues that overshadow all others as far as our own race is concerned, we name them again, and in the order of their importance: DISFRANCHISEMENT.

TAFT'S NOMINATION IN THE FACE OF AFRO-AMERICAN PROTESTS EOUND TO CAUSE DEFECTION Mr. Samuel R. Scottron, the Invento of the Adjustable Mirror, Wipes Charley Anderson Off the Ro- Brooklyn, N. Y.—The following are from recent issues of the local Daily Citizen, and are so pertinent and so good, just at this time, that they merit republication in the columns of our newspaper and advocate. The Gazette; CHARLES W. ANDERSON. One of the colored graduates of Lincoln university, a Prof. Walron, who is opposed to Tatt's candidacy. "Some Negroes may vote the Democratic ticket, but the large majority will stay at home or join a third party if the party names either Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt. Of course, it would hardly do for Negroes to form a third party themselves, but if any of the old time Republicans who have become disaggrue with Rooseveltism are elected to the 600,000 Negro voters who are not efflochadores will join that party. The Negroes now hold the balance of power in Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, West Virginia, Illinois and Delaware. No Republican can win unless he carries these nine states and in these states the Negroes have pledged themselves not to vote for Taft or Roosevelt." Charley Anderson, the colored internal revenue collector of Manhattan, seems to have a more rational idea than沃尔德, of what the Negroes have pledged themselves and what he says will have weight with Democrats who voted for Horace Greeley in 1872: "You will remember that although Charles Summer supported Horace Greeley against Gen. Grant and Greeley had been fighting the battles of the Negroes for a lifetime and had been fighting the Negroes to the abolition movement, the Negroes refused to desist the Republican party. Mr. Summer urged Frederick Douglass to advise his people to support Greeley, and the "old man cloaked himself in the dark, which characterized him, answered for the people: "The Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea."" "W. H. M. (Mul.)" Editor Citizen: Sir-Your regular and very entertaining correspondent "Mul." has said a few things as to the colored voters in your issue of June 16 that it seems to me may be reiewed with profit. He has quoted the statements of two colored leaders, Prof Waldron and Colin university, and Mr. Charles W. Anderson, internal revenue collector at New York, between them representing the extremes in object. STORE NEWS That is what your news is about. It is what is and will be of interest to the public. and bring to you that increase *business* you are looking for if you give us your *sales* news to print. S. C. SCOTTRON. That there is much dissatisfaction among colored voters with President Roosevelt and with the nomination of Mr. Taft to succeed him, that many colored men will not vote at all, or else vote some other ticket, as Waldron says, I believe to be true; too, but that 600,000 Negro voters will desert the Republican party is absurd to think of to any one knowing the ability of the Negro to stand hard kicks under his coattails, and his gullibility, as shown in his falling into a hole and out, to vote the straight Republican the less, you may readily believe that this year there will be a large division in the colored vote, many Negroes being, as now engaged, in hunting a new place in which to deposit their hereofore sure Republican ballot. On the other hand, Collector Anderson is certainly far out of the way if he would give the impression that all, or even a very large majority of Negro voters, are about to fail into line the moment some colored leader bids his allegiance to Anderson's sympathies and interests being in that direction, he hopes it may be true, but he is cooed to disappointment. Mr. Anderson has mentioned the matter of the Greeley campaign—a matter of which he can have no personal knowledge—and he conveys a very wrong impression to "Mulz" mind if he believes, with Mr. Anderson, that he can have no personal knowledge of Charles Summer's advice, the Negro voters voted solidly for Gen. Grant. During that campaign I served as the secretary of the National Liberal Republican Committee of Colored Citizens, having six clerks under me at headquarters. No. 211 Canal Street, New York, where he served.—That there was a very large defection of colored voters from the Regular Republican party in all the states north and northwest and nowhere greater than in this state and city, where it required the utmost effort of the Rev. Henry Highland Garnett, the leading colored Republican of those states, to do so. And many of his lieutenants, the whole force of colored employees of the New York custom house, were never so busy in all their lives as then, haranguing against the influence of Charles Summer. The public discussions at Cooper union and many other gave evidence of much sympathy for our honored leader, Horse Greeley. True, Mr. Sumner endeavored to persuade Frederick Douglass, going so far as to remind Mr. Douglass of his duty to resent the slight put upon him, personally, by Gen. Grant, who had failed to invite Mr. Douglass to the dinner which he the president, of which Mr. Douglass was one—recently returned from considering the annexation of Santo Domingo. But Douglass was not made of that kind of stuff; he was a true representative of a great majority of American Negroes. In the face of insult, injury and humiliation, he recommended humility and patience. There were some among us who regarded Douglass humiliatingly and accuity of favors yet to come, and this we think proved true. The voice of Summer was not lost on every Negro breast; many Negroes stood firmly with Summer, full of confidence that one so firm, constant and devoted to the cause of the slave as Horace Greeley had ever been was to be trusted. George T. Downing, in those days as much a leader as was either Douglass humiliated, and many others might have been a right side of Greeley. Horace Greeley lost, not because of the want of support by Negroes, but because white Democrats deserted him; he was too much a "black Republic" to suit their tests. As many Negroes supported him as could well be expected of freedom not long since emerging from slavery, ignorant and fearful of the loss of their recently acquired rights. In that day we were sending Negroes from these parts to teach Negroes in the south, while today, as the result of about 40 years' educational effort there, the south is sending educated Negroes to take the places of teachers in northern schools. Then the word "Democrat" served to create a panic in an assembly of Negroes; since then, however, we have seen the rise of Grover Cleveland, a Democrat of Democrats, in the office of president of the United States, with the result, that the word fails to serve as a bogey; the Negro is not afraid. No fear then that the old bogey of 1872 will serve the purpose it cerved then. Whether the Negro vote is very fairly divided now as it should have been all these years, depends largely upon whom the Democratic party nominates for president and vice president in July next. SAMUEL R. SCOTTRON, No. 518 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. GEORGE T. DOWNING 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 542 of my colored comrades, fallen in defense of their country, who had offended them in defense of its flag and its honor, by willing sacrifice; and as I rode among them guiding my horse this way, and way lest he should profane with his hoof what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzed faces upturned in the shining sun to heaven, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which stripes had only been to them a flag of stripes, on which no stole or glory has ever shown for them—feeling that 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 cath, 'may my right hand forget its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I ever fail to give them all of these men who have given their blood me and my country this day and me for their race forever;' and God helping me, I will keep that oath. "From that hour all prejudice was gone, and an old-time state-right Democrat became a lover of the Negro race. And as long as their rights are under this government's rights of other men under this government, am with them against all corners."

In the spelling match at the Hippodrome Monday morning Cleveland beat Pittsburg, New Orleans and Erie, being led to victory by little Miss Marie Bolden, daughter of Mr. Joseph J. John L.

The first alternate on the Cleveland team (of 15) was little Miss Wilberatta Hansbay. Since the Chicago convention and the nomination of William Howard the President, and after careful thought we decided we are forced to ask the question, will the Negro longer look to any particular party for his political rights? When we take into consideration the innumerable insults heaped upon the race by a party which it has helped to make strong and great, till that party has become drunk with power; finally conclude that it is time to call a call—Richmond (Va.) True Reform. First of all, if a girl has a little money and wishes to find a singing-teacher, it is no small task to find the right one, and whom to choose is the question, says Elen Beach Yaw, in the July Dellineer. Well, there is an old proverb which says that "a tree is judged by its fruit, and man by his acts; so a singing-teacher is judged by the singers he or she turns out. Therefore, go to the teacher whose pupils sing easily and naturally. When you have found the right one, listen to what he or she has to say, and after each lesson read in a little book kept for that purpose what you have learned, the criticisms made, and how the faults are to be corrected. As soon as the results were announced in the spelling contest, President Haserot called little 14-year-old Marie Bolden to the front of the stage, and, amid the cheers of the audience, presented her with a gold badge, signifying that she is the champion speller of the best team in the United States. Marie was a pupil of Miss Sheen at Hough school and lives at 1591 Eighty-fifth. She is the daughter of Mrs. Belle Chew Bolden and enters East High school in the city. The prefects chose the island Leader account written by a reporter from the south was as distinct and rotten as the Plain Dealer's portrait, Tuesday of Marie was bad. It was the "limit." The News' account was little better and the Press', the best. They who go apicnicking must needs consider the question of lunch, and it greatly helps the preparations for a day's jaunt if all the packing material and all the favorite picnic recipes are kept in one place in the summer, just as one in an "emergency shelf" for company. When summer approaches arrange also a "picnic shelf" and the preparing and packing of a lunch will lose all its terrors. There should be some big sheets of heavy brown paper, one of which, neatly shaped, should be put in a basket. The paper should be the table cloth. Then there should be a supply of paper napkins, and also a supply of paraffin paper in which to wrap the eatables. If you do not live near a store which sells paraffin paper, save the linings from your cracker boxes. There should be two inexpensive salt and pepper shakers, a salt and pepper shaker, and some drinking glasses or cups and a few knives, forks and spoons. —The July Deineater. Out about July 25.

The Fourth in Boomville Celebration as Described by the Small Boy.

We didn't understand what that "natal day" business meant, but "celebrate"—that could only mean one thing this season of the year. A boy and a girl Who oo e e! Cracky! Boom! and Sammy and I shied a tin can at "Doc" Blaston setter pup and dug down the alley as fast as four brown legs could carry us. "Hew! Stub, it's Tied a Can on the Pup. last as four brown legs could carry us. "Hey! Stub, its a-goin' to be; they're puttin' the bill up now." Stub dropped the bait can half full of worms and joined the proclaimers of the glad tidings. Two minutes later we ended up in front of the bill to read further. "I call that a mighty neat job of printin'," said the editor of the Weekly Banner, who had happened along. "We broke the claws holdin' the arrows off our eagle wood out two years ago and blamed if we could find the piece this year. The old bird looked mighty squatty until we hit upon havin' him sit on that log from the Mink Lumber Company's ad." "Looks like that old turkey buzzard that roosts on the rotten log in Deaconf Shuccorec's pasture," sniffed old Prof. Krain. Krain had started a paper in opposition to the Banner three years before, but it had fizzled out after intermittent issues for six months. But there wasn't anything squatty about the birds of freedom, as far as we kids could see. Besides, we were busy reading down further what was going to happen. "Fine shade, grand music, magnificent parade, most eloquent speakers in the state. Races! Races! Races! Ball games, climbing the greased pole, catching the greased pig, a grand spectacular exhibition of tight-rope walking by Capt. McMain. "The grand final, $95.50 worth of fireworks, let off from a stand in front of the city calaboose." These were a few of the features that would mar the usual lethargy of Boomville on July 4. "Shore goin' to have $95 worth of fireworks; there'll be pinwheels, giant fire crackers and skyrockets, till you rest," said Sid Girkens. "I know, cause dad was at the meetin' the night they voted to have 'em." It had been five years since Boomville had had a celebration. For 12 before that time the eagle had screamed in vociferous fashion as regular as independence day came around. That was when the boom was on the town. In those days Jeff Dascom gave $150 to buy fireworks. Jeff borrows his chewing tobacco now. The bubble had bursted the lean days time the eagle had screamed in vociferous fashion as regular as Independence day came around. That was when the boom was on the town. In those days Jeff Dascom gave $150 to buy fireworks. Jeff borrows his chewing tobacco now. The bubble had burst, the lean days had come and patriotism had waned in Boomville. The celebration this year was due to young Leon Talbert who had bought out old Shoebuckler's general merchandise store. He had offered to give $25 as the first contribution. His rival in business, old "Dan" Turner, across the street, growled and said he did it just for advertisement. A man's business was the last thing attended to in Boomville during the next three weeks. Floats had to be built for the Goddess of Liberty and her attendants to ride on. Boomville had no trees that would do as a shade, for the drought three years before had killed even the trees in the city park. Where the young cottonwoods, 20 feet tall, used to grow, was an oat field. Beside the oat field was a stretch of ground that once bore the appellation of "Dascom boulevard." "Joe" Skinner said he'd have the best crop of potatoes on that ground this year ever raised in Boomville, if the bugs didn't hit 'em or the hot winds blow. "I reckon they ought to be better than ordinary, bein' raised on that high-futtn' ground," he used to fling at Joe Dascom, who helped him hoe them. A thin line of cottonwoods and a few scragged elms on Cowskin creek, five miles away, were the nearest trees to Boomville now. Jim McGood solved the shade problem. He would build an arbor, himself, if they would give him the sole privilege of selling lemonade and ice cream near by. Jim's offer was accepted. On July 3 Sammy Smith and I were pretty busy. We kept the road warm between the place where Jim McGood was putting leaf branches of cottonwood, brought from the Cowskin grove, over a frame work of plank, and the back part of the livery stable where the floats were being decked in tinsel and red, white and blue bunting. We never had any real fun until late in the afternoon, when we tied a can on "Doc" Blaston's setter pup and set off a bunch of firecrackers in it. We hated "Doc" Blaston and had even less regard for his setter pup, because he wouldn't chase a jack rabbit. We were sorry afterwards we did it, for that premature can spoiled a whole lot of fun next day. Every dog in Boomville decamped that night; even the cats roosted in the trees for two days. A boom that rattled the window frames awakened me before day next morning. With no hat and only one suspender over my shoulder I scurried down to Uncle Billy's blacksmith shop. Uncle Billy was out in front shooting off the anvil. He had a whole quart can of powder. Carefully the square hole in the anvil was filled with powder and a hardwood plug whittled to fit it. A gorove in one side of the plug was left for the fuse. Uncle Billy scratched the match down the leg of his overalls, touched the fuse and then hurried behind the shop door. The aged blacksmith was slightly deaf and liked a noisy Fourth. Thirteen times the powder was poured in and touched off. The events of that day crowded upon each other fast and furious. The parade started half an hour late because the Goddess couldn't get her brown hair waving to the best effect. After the parade things dragged a little until the speaking began. We wouldn't have stayed around near the speaking except we sometimes got a dish of ice cream for turning a freezer for Jim. The Hon. Timothy Tohdunh gave the oration and Deacon Heffetower read the Declaration of Independence. That is he started to read it. He had taken a copy of the declaration A man is running away from a bomb. from his hip pocket and started to read when Sammy Smith touched a cannon cracker off behind the speakers' stand. The deacon was naturally very excitable. He tried to proceed but his hands jerked spasmodically. Suddenly the declaration parted in the middle where it had been folded in the deacon's pocket. They sent after a new declaration, but the crowd had left before it arrived. The greased pig had been caught and the entries were just in for the slippery pole climbing exhibition when my recollection came to a vivid close. That night about nine o'clock I waked up with a bandaged eye, a swollen jaw and one arm in a sling. They told me Sammy Smith had climbed 'er and I went to sleep happy. A 4th of July Episode!

Practical Fashions S Paris Pattern No. 2429, All Seams Allowed—Developed in plain or striped serge, checked tailor suiting, or black-and-white shepherd's plaid, this is a most stylish coat to wear with the short skirt of plain mohair or Panama cloth. The side-front and side-back seams give long, graceful lines to the figure. The high collar revers and narrow turn-back cuffs are bound with black or self-colored silk braid, and the side-back seams are left free for a short distance from the lower edge, doing away with the vent at the center-back. The pattern is in seven sizes—32 to 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the jacket requires 5% yards of material 20 inches wide, three yards 36 inches wide, 2½ yards 42 inches wide or two yards 54 inches wide; 2½ yards of braid to trim.

STATE..... MISSES' EIGHT-GORED SKIRT. ```markdown ``` Paris Pattern No. 2439, All Soams Allowed—This new flare skirt is an exceptionally good model for skirts of linen, pique, duck, khaki, or in fact any washable material. The centerfront closing enables it to be ironed without any trouble or fear of creasing, and the inverted box-plait ornaments the center-back.

STREET AND NO..... STATE.... Prophetic Dream Fulfilled. It was stated at an Inquest on a Dean Forest (England) collier, who had become entangled in the machinery, that on the previous night he woke up his wife and told her he had dreamed that while working with the machine an accident occurred and he had fallen into it. "He always brings it home, nails it up and then waits around for luck to strike him." "Well?" "And there never was such a man for finding horseshoes." The Living First. "The things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave you." This we all know 'aft+ward!' yet, lo, these noxious herbs instead!—Jean Paul. Speed of Electricity Electricity, where unretarded by atmospheric influences, travels at the rate of 288,000 miles a second. Along a wire it is, of course, vastly slower; a perceptible period of time is occupied by the electric current in sending telegrams. Boost! If you cannot boost your own town, better move to another. No one will miss you. WHERE SHE HAD THE BULGE. Telephone Girl's Great Opportunity to Get Gloriously Even. "You know that red-headed cashier that had the nerve to complain of me to the boss the other day," said the girl at the telephone desk, to a New York Times writer. "Well, I got even with him, all right. He ain't married, but he's got a best girl. His father owns a shoe factory over in Jersey, and rich-my! Well, she called him up the other afternoon at her usual time. 'Is Mr. Smith there?' she asks, in her most romanticist voice. 'Yes! I answers, just as honeylike as she. It's his wife wants him, isn't it? Wit! That Miss Girl hung up with such a jerk my ear hurt. Smith goes around wondering why she does not call him up. Every time he dares he says to me: 'Has any one called me on the phone, Miss Limit?' And I look as innocent as a kid and shake my head 'No.' I tell you, us telephone girls can turn 'Joy to the Bride' into 'Nothin' in 'Doin' any time we please. Me for Us." SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. With Eczema—Her Limb Pesed and Foot Was Raw—Thought Amputation Was Necessary—Believes Life Saved by Cuticura. "I have been treated by doctors for twenty-five years for a bad case of eczema on my leg. They did their best, but failed to cure it. My doctor had advised me to have my leg cut off. At this time my leg was peeled from the knee, my foot was like a piece of raw flesh, and I had to walk on crutches. I bought a set of Cuticura Remedies. After the first two treatments the swelling went down, and in two months my leg was cured and the new skin came on. The doctor was surprised and said that he would use Cuticura for his own patients. I have now been cured over seven years, and but for the Cuticura Remedies I might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B. Renaud, 277 Mentana St., Montreal, Que., Feb. 20, 1907." TIME TO HUSTLE. Kid—Gee whiz, but er feller feels lonesome in de spring if he ain't got er goil! Cause for Thanks? It was at a social gathering of one of the mutual improvement societies which help to pass the shining (or otherwise) hour in an edifying manner. A little singing was to be indulged in by some of the members, and about half-way down the program the name of Miss Molemy-Brown figured. Alas, however, when the time came for her to appear a messenger arrived to say that the lady was suffering from a cold, and, therefore, the chairman had to excuse her to the audience. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "I have to announce that Miss Brown will be unable to sing, as announced, and, therefore, Mr. Green will give us 'A Song of Thanksgiving.'"—Stray Stories. Value of Brief Rests. If overworked homemakers whose nerves are "worn to frazzle edge" would acquire the habit of sitting or lying absolutely still, relaxed and motionless for five or ten minutes twice a day, they would soon see improvement. The mind must be relaxed, worries dropped, thoughts wandering to pleasant things. You will probably try this several times before you get it right, but after a little practice you will find that it yields large returns, far surpassing the sacrifice of the time it takes to practice it.

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 20c 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 are paying the agency's commission beside and some of the agents get a pretty good rakeoff. All of the above comes out of book. 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.

When Patrick McGinnagan became a member of the Chicago police force last week, a delegation of his friends burst in upon him while he was at dinner and presented him with a handsome night stick in honor of his popularity and their esteem. Completely bewildered by this unexpected token, the new policeman nevertheless struggled to his feet and stammered his appreciation. "Frinda, ye have upset me wid y'r kindness," he said, flourishing the night stick. "O'll try an' do me duty wid this little shiflary, an' I hope an' thrust that ivry man here'll live t' feel its inflorescence." Everybody Pleased But the Consumer. "Yes, he had some trouble with his eyes," said the celebrated oculist. "Every time he started to read he would read double." "Poor fellow!" remarked the sympathetic person. "I suppose that interfered with his holding a good position?" Not at all. The gas company en- gaged him and gave him a lucrative job reading gas meters."—Stray Sto- ries.
