TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. NO. 52. LATEST PARIS FASHIONS IN MILLINERY. WHITE STRAW HAT. BLACK STRAW HAT. IN MORIS THEREA EST GRAVITATE TWENTY-FIFTH LATEST FASH IN MILLION BLACK STREAK HAT. Already the intense desire to get away from any semblance of the round, flat sailor shape has brought about a return of the mushroom, or more properly speaking, the bow-shaped hat. In no way the mushroom of a year ago, with narrow brim in front and wide brim at the back of the head and possibly on one side also, the bowl or bell-shaped hat of the present season is of nearly even proportions all around and the brim is only curved down slightly, while the hat itself instead of being raised up somewhat from the head rests as flatly as possible upon the soft waves of hair and clusters of purses which comprise the fashionable coiffure of the moment. If the all-around flat effect is not becoming a slight tilt on one side will at once alter the too even lines and will give the desired height to the wearer. This style of hat in light-colored straw or face trimmed with artistic combinations of flowers, feathers and ribbons is the one chosen for special vogue with the lingerie gowns of midsummer. Motoring and Shopping Hat. The second style of hat that is now in fashion is diametrically opposed in every line to the flat bowl shape, yet for the purposes for which it is designed this hat is in its way quite as smart as the other. For traveling, motoring or driving, or for the occasional day's shopping tour into town, a medium-sized toque, with unusually high crown, but a narrow brim bent perhaps down on one side and tilted up on the other, is now to be seen as an adjunct to a smart walking gown or coat and skirt costume of silk, linen, pongee or light-weight serge. When a net veil is worn—as is always necessary in traveling or driving—a small hat is infinitely the most comfortable and convenient, while for hot summer weather in the country the shade afforded by a wide brimmed hat is most grateful, and fortunately both these designs are equally in vogue at the moment. On the whole the hats of this summer are exceptionally becoming. Even without the masses of puffs and curls which one is given to understand are obligatory if one desires to look truly sweet, even without these added points of beauty, it is always easier to get a good effect with no great abundance of curly locks when the hat nestles down flat upon the crown of the head than when it is raised up some inches by a wide silk or velvet bandeau, which in turn must be hidden from view by strands of hair plinned up over it. Then, again, while large hats are distinctly fashionable, any great exaggeration has already been ostracized, while if so preferred quite tiny hats made of feathers and lace may be worn for formal afternoon wear. Charlotte Corday Style. Charlotte Corday Style. Only with the daintiest of lace trimmed lingerie frocks is the revived Charlotte Corday, with its inner ruffle of soft lace or net falling over the hair, really attractive, and only to certain types of beauty is this hat even possible, but given these two conditions and this model is altogether charming. With masses of hair, preferably light in coloring, and worn extremely soft and full about the face, a Charlotte Corday hat of white or Neapolitan straw and trimmed with delicate rosebuds or forget-me-nots, is exceedingly attractive. Made without the lace frill and having the soft brim bent up against the crown, and apparently held in place by a long, full ostrich plume, which, ending on the left side, falls down slightly over the edge of the hat, this model is especially pretty in the pale shades of green, blue, pink and mauve, worn with a silk, a chiffon or a fine linen or batiste gown of the same tone. In shape the Charlotte Corday of the present is quite unlike the model which only three years back had such widespread popularity that it was quickly frowned upon by Dame Fashion. Where formerly the frame was old in shape, it is now nearly round, and in cil likelihood will have become quite round and much like the one-time mushroom hat ere it once more vanishes from sight. ```markdown ``` THE GAZETTE With simple morning gowns of linen and batiste white and yellow straw hats, trimmed with ribbons and feathers rather than flowers, will be worn this year in place of the lingerie hats and the stiff sailors and soft panamas of the last few summers. These morning hats border closely on the sailor shape, but a slight tilt or curve in the brim is always noticeable, and the height of crown makes the hat appear different from the conventional sailor shape. A stiffly wired bowknot of taffeta or satin ribbon placed on one side or perhaps directly at the back of the hat is all sufficient trimming, although if the hat is to be worn with embroidered and lace trimmed gowns then white or light colored quilts and feathers are used in its adornment. An extremely smart hat for wear with a plain shirt waist and separate white skirt is of rough yellow straw, with the birm bent flat against the high crown on the right side, but on the left curved slightly downward. The only trimming is a large double double bowknot of satin ribbon placed quite flat against the crown on the left side, and this bow is changed according to the color of the gown or to correspond with the shade of the ribbon belt and tie. This last model is also an excellent style of hat for traveling, made in a color to match the gown or of Tuscan straw trimmed with the correct shade of ribbon. If comparatively small in size it will be easily held on even in the stifte gale, while owing to the lack of any fire or flower trimming there need be no anxiety experienced from either rain or dampness. Styles in Straws. White and yellow straws, with trimming of the shade of the dress with which the hat is worn, are more noticeable this year than are the colored straw hats, and from an economical standard certainly this fashion is an excellent one. At the same time, the hat the exact shade of the dress is apt to make a far more effective costume, and, after all, a summer hat is not expected or required to give more than six or eight weeks' wear, and white will change color in the sun almost as quickly as a light shade will fade out to white. Unquestionably cretonne as dress and hat trimming is but a fad of the moment, and a very fleeting fad at that, but for the time being the novelty which it suggests gives to it a certain desirableness. For a severely simple morning hat a large white straw faced with an effective French chintz of dull artistic tone and having a large bowknot in front or at one side, or directly at the back of the hat—it apparently makes no difference just where the trimming is placed—is undeniably pretty, and is conspicuously attractive if the linen suit is finished with collar and cuffs of the same chintz. While such a combination may be worn occasionally, it would, however, be a mistake to invest too heavily in collar and cuff sets of cretonne and in cretonne trimmed hats, for the fashion is sure to have but a brief existence—New York Herald. INVOGUE The negligee or flowered mull is finding great favor with milady just now. There is a great vogue for barred materials—lawns, batistes and muslins. The present sleeve is close, but not tight; it molds the arm without binding it. Embroidered swisses, either flowered or in plain white, are much used in the making of tea gowns and jackets. For a dress of silk or velling, the collar, yoke and sleeves may be of lace or embroidered net, and the inserted vest sections may be of heavier lace.

CONDEMNS ROOSEVELT AND 'DISFRANCHISEMENT' TAFT The Latter for Condoning Disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" Cars —Brownsville!— New York City.—Denouncing President Roosevelt and asserting that no Negro was able to get an office from the present and to have the implementation of a man whom the president had selected as his federal office broker (Booker Washington) the Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church, recently made it plain to his congregation he would do everything possible to swing the Negro votes of the city against Secretary Taft. The minister also called on the members of his congregation to resent the Brownsville outrage. The governor with all his humiliations has been emerged with Republicans in full control of every branch of the federal government," he said. "The Negro in the past has been a political slave, used for party profit and often betrayed in the house of his friends. In the face of the words and acts of both President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft relating to the Brownsville affair on the one hand and to the other, the government's our disfranchisement on the other, styling us 'political children who have not attained the intellectual stature of political manhood,' we stand dazed. "Next to our resentment against Secretary Taft for the part he has played against what we conceive to be our interests, is our resentment of the overlordship established by President Roosevelt. He has chosen a federal office of official government so that today to Negro holds or can hold under the present administration a federal appointment unless he has been stamped first with the ukase of the president's Negro office broker. "Up to the present time parties have used the Negro for their own profit and advantage. The day is at hand when the Negro will use parties for the preservation of his liberties will no longer remain without protest on the rings of any political party. Party labels no longer will be magic words with which he may be enchanted. We know that the rights which we enjoy are ours not because of the protection of the federal government, but because of the attitude of the people of the states in which the government is concerned, we might have disfranchisement and 'Jim Crow' cars in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. We do not have them only because the states and not the federal government make us secure." The National Negro Political League has been announced as supporting William Jennings Bryan, by its president, Rev J. M. Walkron, of Washington, D. C. LILLIAN WATKINS MAN DIES FIRST, WILLING ALL HIS PROPERTY TO LILLIAN WAT KINS, HIS "SOUL-BRIDE." Chicago, Ill.—Tragedy and sorrow filled the life of Lillian Beatrix Watkins, who killed herself here last week in answer to what she considered a call from her suicide lover, Thomas Kennedy (white). She was bright. She was beautiful. Her skin was soft and white as any girl's. But her mother was an Afro-American. As a child she went to school with white children. Teacher and pupils praised her for her cleverness at books and invited her to their homes. Her father was a white man and died some years ago in her native home, Hamilton, O. Then the mother made the usual sacrifice. She saw the unhappiness of her daughter. They had means. They came to Chicago. The girl went to live in a white family. She attended an exclusive school for girls. None suspected her Negro strain. The mother lived entirely apart from her. The girl became interested in the philosophy. Thus she met Thos. Kennedy. He asked her to marry him. She promised. On the day set for their wedding she told him of her mother and the next she heard was of his marriage to another. In a few days came word of his suicide, leaving to her $15,000, his all, and this message: "You are my soul-bride; meet me in the spirit world." The girl considered her lover's message an injunction from the dead. "Every day I hear Tom calling," she told Mrs. Elizabeth Phinney, (white), with whom she lived. "His ghost is lonesome. We shall be together through all eternity." Before firing the fatal shot Lillian arrayed herself as a "spirit bride." She draped herself in white and pinned a red rose at her throat. The girl's life had been saturated with mysticism and the occult. She had studied the philosophy under a Hindu pundit and was a member of the Society of Adyar of Madras, India. The last time she was seen, Lillian had just come in from a walk. She sat for a moment, talking to Mrs. Phinney. "Today is my lucky day," she said, smiling. "It is so set down in my horoscope. My fate is written in the stars." Spread out beside her on a table when she was found dead was the draft of her horoscope. "When you reach the age of 25 years and eight months," the horoscope ran, "the unfortunate planet Uranus will be in conjunction with the moon. If you have a lover it will give him trouble." When she was exactly this age Kennedy killed himself. "Your fortunate days," the horoscope continued, "will be Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays." She killed herself on Thursday. The $15,000 left to Lillian will revert to the poor sacrificing mother, Mrs. Ida May Watkins, who trolled as a seamstress to educate her daughter, after the father, W. J. Watkins, (white), died. Lillian had served several of the largest banks and trust companies in the city as a stenographer and moved in the best if not the richest society of this city. There are many cases of this kind throughout the north and some even in the south. EDWARD E. COOPER DEAD. Original Publisher of the Indianapolis Freeman and the Washington, D. C., Colored American (Long Dead) "Passes Out." Washington, D. C. — Edward Elder Cooper died here recently and was C. — Edward Elder recently and was buried from St. Mary's Episcopal church. He was a former resident of Louisville, Ky., and Indianapolis, Ind. Cooper's conduct of both papers he started, as well as his business life while with them, Mary's Episcopal church. He was a former resident of Louisville, Ky., and Indianapolis, Ind. Cooper's conduct of both papers he started, as well as his job as a life while with them, was not such as to stamp him in the minds of those who knew him as "one of the best, most original and most progressive newspaper men the Negro race has ever produced," unless the questionable methods (to say the least) he invoked throughout his career as a publisher and alleged editor, are to be tolerated, thoroughly no danger of this being done by reputable business men of any race. The less said about him by our papers, the better. BURLEIGH IN ENGLAND Gives Recitales for Royalty—Ambassador Reid Compliments Him—Social Recognition. Erle, Pa.—Harry T. Burleigh, the New York baritone soloist who went to Europe about two months ago, will return on August 1. In England he has sung for the king and queen, at the home of the Earl of Lonsdale; on the same evening, July 3, he sang at Stafford house for the dame and later at American Ambassador Whitelaw and Mrs. Reid at Dorchester house. On July 7 he again sang folk lore songs, principally, before the king and the crown princess of Sweden, his niece, at the instance of Mrs. Leslie, a sister of Lady Randolph Charchill.

While singing at Dorchester house Mrs. Burleigh attended a tea given by the members of the Persian embassy. The couple also took tea at the home of Lady Maude Warrender, at which Signor Tosti and many prominent musicians were pressent. Mr. Burleigh is an Erie boy. HEFLIN HISSED AT CONVENTION Democrates at Denver Show Their Disapproval of Murderous Congressman by Refusing to Let Him Speak. Southern Democracy showed good sense of what was fit and proper in its treatment of J. Thomas Hefflin, the Alabama firebrand, who last winter shot a Washington colored man in a street car. Hefflin was presented by Alabama to second Bryan's nomination and the crowd decided not to hear him. He said he would get through in four minutes if he could have quiet, but should stay there 30 minutes unless this was accorded him, asserting vigorously that he would leave the platform in his own good time, and that the nobody would drive him. Stirring, he worded in a long word he defiantly sat on the railing waiting for the disturbance to subside. It never did, however, and amid cat calls and derisive hoots he continued his remarks until fairly driven from the platform by the increasing uproar. He cut a sorry figure as he crept away—Boston Transcript. Dove For Black Bass. Clean, N. Y.—A. M. E. church members and friends will give a reception in honor of the new pastor, Rev. J. O.

IN UNION THE ESTATE OF TOWER BELL HAS STRUCK! SAYS BISHOP ALEXANDER WAL- TERS AND PROF. W. E. B. Du- BOIS, OUR LEADERS. DAWNING OF A NEW EPOCH! Will We Strike in Our Own Defense and Behalf—Nothing Left for Us to Do, But Divide Our Vote, They Say! New York City, July 21, 1908. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Many of my friends throughout the country have written me as to the attitude which the independent black voters should take in the coming months, like those who ask to answer such inquiries and fully state my position. As a race, I think we should so act politically as to induce the Democratic party to change its attitude towards us—right about face. I am sure this can be done, if we go we do it properly and persist in our efforts. At this stage of our development, there is no doubt that the state is not in favor of our complete civil and political rights. Dull must be the student of political science, who has not learned that innumerable are the benefits that accrue to the citizenry, that makes a proper use of its ballot; and no people in a republic can be safe in their rights who are deprived of the right to vote. The state has been deprived of the right of suffrage, largely because we have voted almost solidly with the Republican party, and this we were forced to do, because the Democratic party was continually enacting legislation inimical to our best interest. We have found it difficult to support a party that was ever on the alert to curb our ambitions and to prevent the state from being told by many of the leaders, both north and south, that they are now willing to accord to the black man the same right and privileges accorded to the white man within the party. For this reason, I am willing to give them a trial. The Opportune Time. Fourth. Now is the time to strike, while the Negroes are filled with resentment because of the Brownsville outrage, because the Democrats realize the needs of our co-operation in order to win. The time is at hand, when we should make a mighty effort to liberate ourselves from our political bondage. Will we do it—will we be able to win? We will break the criticism that will follow such an advanced step? The great bell in the tower of time which tolls only at the dawning of a new epoch, has struck; if we would follow the leadings of Jehovah—there is nothing left to do, but to divide our votes.

All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature. 1804 to 1804 1800 to 1804 1800 to 1804 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. When Dixon, Vardaman, and Tillman, who is abroad, reads of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Burleigh's "social equality" stunt with the aristocracy of England that entertains the king and queen, their snorting will sound like that of a school of rhinoceros or herd of—ASSES! "Po culled man!" Just "see" the "capers" many colored women have been "cutting" with white men during recent years. Time was that colored men and white women married most often, and our women were very bitter against that sort of thing. But now! O, "wow!" Just read! Bishop Alexander Walters writes us that the Bryan interview, published elsewhere in this paper, "is authentic" and that "Mr. Bryan said all that is published, and more." We will take the bishop's word in this matter in preference to that of all the daily newspapers in the country, and our readers can well afford to do so, also. Poor Lillian Watkins! Sad, very sad indeed, was her life and ending. And yet there are hundreds of similar cases, as far as her life is concerned, which ought to benefit as a result of a knowledge of her heart-rending struggle and terrible end. There is a sensible relief (not death) from all of it which a little thought will suggest. The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, an Ohioan, and a former Cleveland pastor, is certainly "rattling the Republic dry bones" in the "Empire City." He is booting President "Brownsville" Roosevelt and the Hon. "Disfranchisement"—Jim Crow" Car Taft right lustfully, these days. There is undoubtedly trouble ahead, this fall, for the G. O. P., and the descendants of Ham bld fair to be in it, very, very much indeed. There is much, very much food for thought in the strong appeal to the race, made by Bishop Alexander Walters, which we publish upon our first page today. He and Prof. W. E. B. DuBois take much the same view of the situation, and while we have not reached their point of view in the matter, as yet, we are like thousands of others of the race—open to conviction, willing to read and think. The November election is still some months off. YES, FORAKER "SALUTES" TAFT. "Senator Foraker's reference to Mr. Taft, in his speech before the Chicago chamber of commerce July 1, had the fatal defect, from the party point of view, of emphasizing what the speaker considers the candidate's "fatal defect." A candidate should have no defect, of course, that is fatal; if he has, he is a goner. The senator made matters worse by explaining what Mr. Taft's "fatal defect" consists in. He is pledged to continue the "so-called Roosevelt policies."—Springfield (Mass.) Republican. TROUBLES IN OHIO. ALREADY. Ever since the Chicago convention, the Taft leaders in Ohio seem to have been unable to dwell in harmony 24 hours at a time. Now they are at loggerheads over the opening meeting at Youngstown, and all because Congressman Kennedy of that city has seen fit to invite to that affair this state's greatest statesman and orator, as well as jurist, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, who criticized Taft's endorsement of Roosevelt policies in his chamber of commerce speech at Cincinnati on July 1. Every sane Republican, especially every sane business man in the country, is doing the same thing, and before this state is carried for the Republican standard bearer this fall—if at all—every member of the party in Ohio, including Senator Foraker, particularly, will be needed in all the meetings as well as on election day! November. The selection of National Committeeman Arthur I. Vorys, by Mr. Taft, to manage the campaign in this state, in addition to the regular chairman of the state Republican executive committee who heretofore has always done this work without such help, shows that there are others who think as we do in this matter. Mr. Taft's personal representative in the "Buckeye" campaign this fall, Mr. Vorys, will be kept busy promoting harmony among the many lieutenants, it seems. THE FACTS AS TO MARIE BOLDEN How some Negroes can be satisfied with the shadow instead of the substance is exemplified in the persistent claim of some of them, that Marie There should never have been any "revision." It was contrary to the clear understanding prior to the N. E. a spelling "bee;" but there was. The results were published not only in the local daily papers but were sent broadcast over the country and are now generally known. Therefore, for us to continue to claim a championship taken from us, is ridiculous, to say the least. Relative to and in justification of the revision Superintendent Hicks wrote the editor of The Gazette, under date of July 11, 1908: "Any contention for revision was based on the good name of all the sixty children who spelled," etc. AS TO ALABAMA The Cleveland Gazette seems to be a little in the dark concerning the "Lily Whitethist" in the south. It says that the national committee gave full and complete recognition to the "Lily Whites". Somebody is mistaken about the matter. The "Lily Whites" of Alabama were left out in the cold, and several other delegates representing that class of people. They held a meeting where they gave this city did not allow a colored man to enter the hall. The regular delegation from Alabama was made up of men from both races who had met together and transacted their business in a legal and just manner—sending out notifications, notifying the voters of all mass meetings and conventions. Hon. P. D. Barker, who headed the delegation to about 50 colored men in the Mobile postoffice, many of whom have been there for several years. The true white Republicans in Alabama have always worked in harmony with the colored Republicans. And when we say Republicans we mean men who have proven to the party that they are worthy to be so called; not men who have asked for money for the grand prize but who have given their time and money in behalf of the grand old party—Mobile (Ala.) Press. The Gazette is hardly supposed to be entirely familiar with local conditions, but there has been so much publicity given Alabama, this paper has absorbed a few of the facts going the rounds of northern papers. If we are not in error, there were several gentlemen seated in the convention at Chicago who were leading actors in the 1902 Alabama "Lily White" state convention. United States Marshal P. M. Long, who was an orator in the 1902 "Lily White" convention, was a Chicago "delegate" and a Taft man. Referee in Bankruptcy N. L. Steele, United States Assistant District Attorney J. H. Montgomery, and a number of other "Lily White" agitators, were on the Alabama Taft delegation at Chicago. The fact is generally known in this part of the country that J. O. Thompson, who is the Taft apostle in and for Alabama, was himself hand in glove with the "Lily White" movement and its leaders until "the light" by Joseph C. Manning of Alexander City, Ala. We all know in this section that it was Mr. Manning who disrupted the 1902 "Lily White" movement and that then Thompson to Manning's policies and then getting Booker W. Washington to put him "next" with Roosevelt. The whole Alabama story has gone the whole Alabama politician is pretty well known. Now, as to Hon. P. D. Barker, we can see that he has been a very successful Alabama Republican, in that he has held offices under every Republican administration since the war and it is said that he has the辛勤 faculty of changing as fast as policies or administrations go or down. It is related of Barker that he has the same old flint and steel rifle that he carried "endurin" the Confederate War of the Rebellion and that he keeps this old rifle behind the door of his postoffice, so that he may go gunning for any man in Mobile who is likely to vote the Republican ticket or become eligible for postmaster. The trouble with your particular Alabama party species is that they are always office-holders and never party builders. They talk big in the meantime of a national campaign, but they never accomplish anything for the party, big or little. JEALOUSY, SUICIDE AND MURDER One White Man Fearing a Wealthier White Man Would Take His Colored Woman From Him, Kills Her and Then Shoots Himself. Battle Creek, Mich.-Jealousy of the colored woman with whom he had been living and fear that she would be taken from him by a man (white) in more prosperous financial circumstances caused Frank Scott (white) to shoot and kill her here July 4. This was disclosed in a letter which Scott left behind addressed to the chief of police of Battle Creek. The letter was found in searching the scene of the tragedy. He mentions the name of a well known local man, whom blames for the murder of his up to date letter reads. "He is after a woman night and day. Send word to S. L. Baker and Albert Doll of Kalaamazoo, and they will take care of me. You will find my insurance policy in my trunk. The woman (Lena Ritchie) has all my money. She lives at 157 Jefferson avenue, Louisville, Ky." Lena Ritchie, the dean, was born in Kalaamazoo. Nothing is known of her prior to the time she came to Battle Creek with Scott several years ago. On her dresser was found a pocketbook containing $57. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1908. GANS NOT "TOO OLD!" Did Not Train Properly—To Fight Nelson Again on Labor Day. Chicago, Ill.—Boer Unholz is of the impression that Gans will wallop Nelson the next time they meet. "Joe wasn't trained properly for his last fight," explains the South African. Says Jim Coffroth, promoter of boxing at San Francisco: "It was a great fight and Nelson began to win after the ninth round, as Gans went tired and tired. He was still piling off the fight talk about Gans being too old, but it is all bosh. He was not old after defeating Britt last year, nor unholz nor 'Spike' Robson a few months back. He wasn't too old on the morning of the fight, but the peerless old master had not prepared for such a struggle as he bumped into." "Tex" Rickard, the fight promoter of Nebraska, was piling off the lightweight championship battle between Joe Gans and Battling Nelson at Ely, Nev., on Labor day afternoon, has deposited $10,000 in the Ely bank, which is the first installment of the $30,000 purse which the fighters demand that he have deposited in the bank before they will enter the ring. Nelson and Coffroth have deposited $10,000 in Ely. This practically insures the third contest between the champions and also ex-champions, Gans and Nelson. Prosperity of Negroes in Richmond. In the July American Magazine Ray Standard Baker says: "In Richmond, Va. they own our own owned and operated by Negroes; one of the Negro bankers sat in the convention to which Gov. Swanson was at that moment speaking. There is a Negro insurance company, 'The True Reformers', in which I saw 80 Negro clerks and stenographers at work. It has a surplus of $300,000, with a business in 30 states. Negroes also own and operate in Richmond four clothing stores, five drug stores, many grocery stores (some very small, of course), two hotels, four livery stables, five printing establishments, eight insurance companies, meet 50 eating places, and many other sorts of business enterprises, small, of course, but growing rapidly. In Richmond, also there are ten Negro lawyers, 15 physicians, three dentists, two photographers, 35 school teachers, 46 Negro churches." Bradford, Pa.. Items.

President Roosevelt recently gave to the country an exhibition of his impulsiveness in his telegram to President Eliot of Harvard university, interceding in behalf of two Harvard students who were under discipline and who were members of the Harvard boat crew. Appealing in their behalf, no doubt because of his interest in the boat race and the desire that Harvard should win, Mr. Roosevelt says: "It is unfair and unnecessary to make others suffer for an offense of this kind for which some other punishment had been followed by Mr. Roosevelt had followed this line of thinking when the Brownville matter was up he would have, no doubt, reached a different conclusion—New Orleans (L.) S. W. C. Advocate. Fairbanks Presides! Indianapolis, Ind.—The reception given John W. Kern, the newly nominated Democratic candidate for vice president, held in the courthouse yard at 8:30 p. m., July 15, was as hearty and generous and spontaneous as the citizens, regardless of politics, could make it. Fully 5,000 people gathered and gave Mr. Kern a hearty welcome and cheered him enthusiastically. The newly made candidate addressed the big crowd on 20 October after being presented by Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks. Four years ago Mr. Kern presented Mr. Fairbanks to a big non-partisan gathering under similar circumstances. Won't Support Taft! As to our political course during the approaching campaign, we inform our friend, The Age, that we are Republicans; we will follow the rule established by Theodore Roosevelt, when he sent Judge Taft into Ohio to defeat his party's ticket, and Elihu Root into this state to defeat our state and city ticket, and also used his efforts in placing a Democratic mayor to rule New York. In each case he was successful. We trust to have the same success to follow our efforts. —Philadelphia (Pa.) Weekly Tribune. Continue the Fight! DeSoto, Mo., July 22, 1908—Editor The Gazette; I think Senator J. B. Foraker's advice is very good, and that the fight you leading race men are making against unfriendly white Republicans will make them change their manner of treatment of colored Republicans in the future, if the party should be successful this time. I believe we should continue fighting in accordance with the advice of Senator Foraker. Yours truly, "Damned- Funny!" St. Louis, Mo—John L. Sullivan passed through this city on his way to Texas recently and talked most of the recent Gans-Nelson battle.

I don't say the fight wasn't straight, but it's damned funny that a fighter like the black steam engine would pass up to 'Battling' Nelson." Booker's "Stand-In" With AKANSU, NSUKWAR AND DOMPEM Gold Mining and Real Estate Company, by William H. Ferris, Office 206-208 Broadway, New York City, Rooms 16 and 17. Every great movement, moral, social, religious, political or financial, groups around some individual, whose insight sees the end, whose constructive genius utilizes the means for the realization of the end, and whose sanity, tact, judgment, discretion and ready sympathy inspires his comrades, and such a man is a man of integrity, a man of integrity, of character. This company intends to invest money not only in Africa, but to invest money in and develop property in New York and anywhere in America where wise and profitable investments can be made, and it will be the means of opening up profitable avenues of employment to hundreds of bright, ambitious colored boys and girls, and to the young and intelligent拓客, clerks and agents, will be given opportunity to make money and use the education which was gained for them by their own efforts and by the toll and self-sacrifice of ambitious parents. This is the first attempt of colored men to develop the gold mines and cocoa and rubber plantations in Africa on a large scale. If the attempt succeeds it will not only make the promoters, cooks, and other workers the greatest monument yet erected to the constructive and creative genius of the Negro race. Such a grand and glorious undertaking is well worth risking a few dollars on. A man never gets rich by putting his money in banks or insurance companies, but by developing the agricultural and mineral wealth locked up in the soil, which is released when man takes his pick, his axe, his shovel, machines, and begins to dig and create and reap and set up his machines, and then we are getting down to the basic principles of political economy.

W.J.BRYAN'S TALK TO OUR PEOPLE! HIS FAVORABLE REPLIES AS TO BROWNSVILLE, CIVIC RIGHTS AND OFFICES. BISHOP WALTERS HEADS BOLT Je Arranging for a Big Convention Next Month at Atlantic City— The Committee of Clergymen and Educators—A New Alliance. New York City.—Bishop Alexander Watts of the M. E. Zion Church received on July 3 the report committee of our leading clergymen and educators who called on William J. Bryan a few days previous to ascertain his views and attitude toward the race. So satisfactory were his replies considered that an organized open affiliation with the Democracy are being arranged. Bishop Watts is arranging for a convention of leading Afro-Americans from various states to meet some time during August at Atlantic City to formulate the dole of a formal report, after describing the call upon Mr. Bryan and the preliminary talk, says: Mr. Bryan said: "As to the appointment of Negroes, they had received by way of appointment from the Republicans very little. His policy would be to give the Negro such recognition as he was fairly entitled to. Personally he believed competent and qualified Negro soldiers, and he recognized along with other citizens of the country, and where they support the Democratic ticket, should be taken into account. "Mr. Bryan said that he regarded the discharge of the Negro soldiers without honor as an outrage; that, if he had been punished, he would be punished in the regular way by court martial or trial by civil courts, as every citizen, black or white, ought to have a fair trial before he is punished in any way; that the power exercised by the president in this case was like a cair, and the president was like a doing rash and inconsiderate acts. "The committee said the Negro race had further complaint to make, and that was that the president had declared that if the Foraker bill pending in congress to reinstate the battalion was passed he would veto it. If the president gave over, he would refuse to enforce it. We asked if Mr. Bryan would give us assurance as to what his attitude would be in the event of his being elected president and such a bill was passed, and, further, if the president had the auction to disapprove this black battalion, would he be disposed to act in the matter. Bryan Would Enforce Law "Mr. Bryan replied that any man elected president would have to take the oath of office to uphold the constitution and enforce the laws, and if he was elected president and such a law was passed he would not hesitate to enforce it. That if he did not enforce it, it would be his duty to, and he would, resign. That it was idle for President Roosevelt to say he would not enforce such law when passed by congress. If he did not enforce it he would be unworthy to be president. As to reinstating the Negro soldiers, Mr. Bryan could not say, for he did not know what his power would be. But if the men were not proven guilty, then the president should do all in his power to undo the wrong that had been put upon them. He had always thought that to discharge the whole battalion, when at least my boy could be doing what he do with the shooting up of the town, was outrageous, and to be ex-plained only as an impulsive act upon the part of the president. "Mr. Bryan agreed with us that he would let the southern question alone, and turn off any question that may be asked having reference to his speeches. He said his speeches refer in a well meaning way to the duty of the president to enforce the laws passed by congress, so Negroes could show what it meant to enforce the law to reinstate our soldiers. Always Friendly to Race. "He thought the campaign method of the Republican party an insult to the Negro and pointed out how friendly he had always been to our race. "We asked that, if he was elected president, would he, if called upon to appoint a justice of the supreme court of the United States, appoint one who was prejudiced against the Negro enjoying the full rights of a white American citizen. Mr. Bryan said that in appointing a supreme court he would certainly avoid what forces had contributed to his election, and try to get a man who was near and would look to the interest of those forces that contributed to his election." The revolt of Afro-Americans from the Republican party had its inception at Chicago immediately after the Republican convention. Bishop Walters, who is head of the New York diocese of his church, is taking active part in the movement. He said: "In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida, we are shifting of the colored vote means the defeat of Mr. Tatt, for in each of those states the Negro holds the balance of power. Meet to Plan Campaign. "The forthcoming meeting at Atlantic City is not to determine whether we will support the Democratic nominee. That has been decided already by the action of the race leaders in Chicago immediately before the primary, sending a delegation to confer with Mr. Bryan and by the report just received from them. At Atlantic City we shall plan a campaign. The Nego vote already is divided, and I am sure that a surprising number will win." Bishop Waiters has received letters pledging support from many prominent men of his race, including Bishop J. S. Caldwell of Philadelphia, Bishop James B. Bantleau; Dr. L. G. J. Gordon of Louisville; W. H. Coffey of Philadelphia, secretary of the Church Extenston society, and G. C. Clement of Salisbury, N. C. editor of the Star of Zion. Five race organizations have announced their satisfaction with the plan, which will form the nucleus of the bolt: They are: National Negro Political league, of which Dr. J. Maldron of Washington, D. C., is president; National Afro-American Council, New England Suffrage league, of which Dr. J. Maldron of Washington, of which Dr. Du Bois is general secretary. The Republican Party Has Deserted Us. Counsellor James H. Hayes of Richmond, Va., a caller on Bishop Walters, said: "It has been left for President Roosevelt to serve the Negro better than he reckoned. Brownsville is simply a final cause, but behind it is a real desire on the part of the Negro to serve the Negro. The party has ceased to treat us properly. The Negro now prefers to leave the Republican camp and to try the new Democratic leadership, which invites him to come and see what will be done for him in that party. When Henry Watterson calls upon the Democratic party to put a plank in its door, he asks our butt for the owed brother, many of us stand ready to take 'Marse Henry' by the hand and accept his invitation, for, after all, we have been taught by Booker T. Washington that the southern white people should lay down our buckets where we are." Samuel R. Scotton, formerly a member of the New York board of education, said: "A majority of the Negroes have in the past been too accustomed to party and then tilted the Republican foot that kicked them. We will not allow ourselves to be misled, as in the past, and still remain on election day faithful Republican voters. The name 'Democracy' does not stampede the party, but it scarcely scare of former years. The Negro voter is growing more independent, and recognizes that his best interests lie in dividing between the two parties. This movement is not merely the course of the party over Brownsville affair. It is the growing political independence of the Negro race." Booker Washington's Advice. In addressing the committee on resolutions of the National Democratic convention, in session at Denver, Col., recently, Mr. W. T. Ferguson, of this city, representing the committee that visited Mr. Bryan, said, among other significant things, the following: "The division in our ranks is permanent, if you wish to have it so. Since Mr. Taft and Mr. Booker Washington have said that the great bulk of our people live in the southland and that our best interests lie there and that we ought to have and make friends with our white neighbors—since Mr. Roosevelt has tried and is trying to destroy neotribalism by supporting Democrats to office, there is no same reason why we, the Negro voters, should not make peace with our southern friends and help elect them and their friends to office." 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 offered up their lives in defense of its flag and its honor, as a willing sacrilege and its sacrifice, not only 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 they had given their lives, and whose flag had only been to them a flag of honor, not one strife 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 the roof of my mouth, if I ever fall to defend the rights of these men who 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. And as long as their rights are protected, or other men under this government, I am with them against all comers." AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

An Outrageous Proceeding Cleveland, O.—In an unmarked grave in potters field lies the mutilated body of John Benzik, a Newburg boy, who died at the City hospital of consumption.

STATE.... Not Guilty Three tired citizens—a lawyer, a doctor, and a newspaper man—sat in a back room recently in the gray lights of the early dawn. On the table were many empty bottles and a couple of packs of cards. As they sat in silence a rat scurried across the hearth into the darkness beyond. The three men shifted their feet and looked at each other uneasily. After a long pause the lawyer spoke. "I know what you fellows are thinking," he said. "You think I think I saw a rat, but I didn't."—Boston Record. Greyhound Slew Rival a tragedy has happened in the study of M. Clemenceau, the French premier. He had two favorite dogs, one a splendid griffon and the other an equally fine Russian greyhound. M. Clemenceau lavished attentions on the griffon, regardless of the significant growls of the greyhound. The griffon had been favored with several chocolates more than the greyhound. In a burst of jealousy the greyhound threw itself upon its too fortunate rival and strangled it. Grave of Helen Hunt Jackson. Helen Hunt Jackson is buried in Evergreen cemetery, Colorado Springs.

And Three-Year-Old Had Been Told That It Was Blue. Three-year-old Allan had a very aristocratic grandma, who prided herself on her own and her husband's blue-blooded ancestry. She told him herelo deeds of them and warned him from ever playing with boys of low degree. One day Allan came screaming upstairs to his mamma and grandma, holding his hand up covered with blood, where he had cut his little finger. They were both greatly alarmed, as he was a child who rarely cried or complained when hurt. Mamma washed the blood off and, examining the cut, said: "Why, dear, it's not so very bad. Does it hurt you so much?" "I'm not cryn' 'cause it hurts," he said, "but 'cause it's only red blood, and grandma said I had blue."—Philadelphia Ledger. CHANCE FOR EMMA. Tommy (to his sister)—Emma, if you give me a bit of your cake, I'll spoil the piano so that you won't be able to take a lesson for a fortnight! The Vital Point. Judge Gillette was one of the most dignified of old-fashioned jurists. One day he was holding court at a county seat in a rather out-of-the-main-road county, when a violent hubbub in the hallway interrupted proceedings in the court-room. After quieting the disturbance, the sheriff returned to report to the judge. "It was two men fighting," explained the official, "Danny Flannigan and Jake Jenkins, tough characters about town. I have put them under arrest." And he waited, expecting that the magistrate would order both offenders to be brought in to his presence and committed for contempt. What was the sheriff's astonishment, therefore, when the judge beckoned him to the desk, and bending down, sald in a confidential whisper: "Which licked?"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. Not the Chair. He was a collector for an installment house, new at the business, and sensitive about performing an unpleasant duty. He was particularly embarrassed because the lady upon whom he had called to perform this unpleasant duty was so exceedingly polite. Still, the van was at the door, the lady was in arrears in her payments, and he remembered his duty. "Good morning," said the lady. "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" "Beautiful," he agreed. "Won't you take a chair?" she said. "Er—no, thank you, not this morning," he stammered. "I've come to take the piano!"—Exchange. DROPPED COFFEE A physician of Wash, D. C., says of his coffee experience: "For years I suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes I was almost frantic. I was sallow, constipated, irritable, sleepless; my memory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused. "My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave. "Finally Wife bought a package of Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. (I make this emphatic because I fear many others have had the same experience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the directions, made it right, boiled it full 15 minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, I liked it—it invigorated and seemed to nourish me. "This was about a year ago. Now I have no headaches, am not sallow, sleeplessness and irritability are gone, my brain clear and my head steady. I have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new man. "I do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing, but I had dropped it before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose. "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates and albums. This is no imaginary tale. It can be substantiated by my wife and her sister, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women of about 70. "I write this for the information and encouragement of others, and with a feeling of gratitude to the inventor of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH. Boys' Fervent Prayer Was Answered in the Nick of Time. A suburbanite is fond of telling this story of his five-year-old son Bobby. Being of an inquiring turn of mind the youngster one day managed to turn on both faucets in the bathtub to see what would happen. It chanced that the stopper was in place, and the tub rapidly filled up, to the great delight of Bobby. Finally, however, the tub became so full that it threatened to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby, having a proper respect for the maternal slipper, became frightened and tried vainly to turn off the water. Being unable to, for some reason, he gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood, and then, mindful both of his religious training and the occasional visits of the plumber, he plunged down on his knees, and his elder sister, who happened to be passing at the moment, heard him explain, fervently: "O. Lord, please stop this water running! And, O. Lord, if you can't do it, please send somebody that can!" His prayer was answered, for his sister rose to the occasion and turned off the water and temporarily saved Bobby from the much-feared slipper. ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body —Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura. "One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. I purchased a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with it. I did this every evening and in four nights he was entirely cured.

A Philadelphia lawyer, retained as counsel for the defense in a murder trial, tells of the difficulties in getting together a jury. "Counsel were endeavoring," says this lawyer, "to elicit from the various prospective jurors their views concerning the death penalty. "One man to whom the question was put, 'Are you against the infliction of the death penalty?' replied, 'No, sir.' "What is your business?" he was "What is your business?" he was asked. I am a butcher, he replied. "When the same question was put to the next man he answered that he was against the death penalty. "What is your business?" "What is your business?"
