The new pistache shade indicates the tone of the shell, a dull, soft yellow green with a faint yellow cast in the lighter tones, while the darker ones are more on the order of sage and moss green, all uncommonly subdued, yet expressive. Flowers have had their beautiful hues imitated in the new colors. There is, for instance, the nasturtium in its gorgeous tints of rich, golden apricot and warm browish copper, all of which are shown in Henne, one of the most beautiful shades of the season. They are exceptionally deep and expressive, and are sometimes called giroffe, as they resemble the colors of the wallflower. The beautiful hue of the lapis lazuli is signified by the dark and medium tones of girne—a warm, opaque blue with just the very faintest touch of gray-green underlying it. The lighter tones are gorgeous in their rich, clear brilliance. Among the neutral shades there are two lovely new grays—vapeur and elephant. The former is on the pearl-gray color, only blush instead of pinkish and exceedingly clear and delicate in all of the three tones. As the name implies, it is exactly the cloudy, fragile color of vapor, while the latter is a beautiful, deep gun-metal gray, almost black in the darkest tone, unlike the real color of the elephant, which is a dusty, muddy gray. Rouen blue ranges between tapestry and Tokyo blue tones, with a tinge of steel gray very noticeable, particularly in the lightest of the three tones. The darker ones bear some likeness to the perfect dove color and are extremely rich despite their subdued softness. There are two new shades of tan; Isabelle, the one, composed of six tones, of which the darkest are extremely dull, almost a blackish brown, while the medium ones are more on the order of fawn color and the lightest are a decided pinkish beige, very delicate and smart, and particularly suitable for being blended with other colors. To Remove Ink Stains. To remove ink stains from your carpet melt motton tallow and coat all over the ink stain unless the carpet is light weight, then dip into the hot tallow. After this wash the article in warm water and all traces of ink will be gone. If a shadow remains, place blotting paper over it and press with hot flat iron. Ready-Made Fall Suits. The American manufacturers are already turning out the new tailor suits for autumn at comparatively small prices. Blue, black and green are the favorite colors. Soft cloths are used. The suits are circular and short. The coats are nearly to the knees, single-breasted and cut away from the waist line. Entire bed sets are now made of heavy curt Arabian lace. These are lined with china silk in faint colors. They are laid over the bed and extend nearly to the floor. There is an oblong piece for the pillows. For Baby. The little single-piece kimonos made of flannel or cashmere are not new, but one mother has made some of linen for baby to slip on in the summer. They are both useful and attractive looking. THE GAZETTE SERGE FROCKS TO BE WORN. Simplicity a Keynote of the Coming Season's Costumes. Some of the cloth frocks imported from Paris for the benefit of the women who are to pass the autumn at fashionable American resorts are marvels of chic simplicity. They are of light weight, fine twill, smooth-surfaced serge in tobacco brown, royal blue, hunter's pink and white, made with correctly clinging plain gored skirts which flare rather more about the bottom than do those having trains. The attached blouse has shoulder bands instead of plats, and these are outlined at either side with tiny fabric-covered buttons set into black-etched buttonholes. There is a wide collar turned back from an embroidered muslin gulmpel and slashed sleeves revealing muslin elbow cuffs, but the feature of the frock is the pair of envelope-flapped oblong pockets set on at the termination of the shoulder straps between bust and waist line. The same type of autumn outing frock may be developed in striped, checked or plain English mohair relieved by touches of bright color in the form of silk or satin pipings, a necktie and perch a sash. LAWN BLOUSE. Any dainty-colored lawn would make up this pretty blouse. We have chosen pale blue for our model. The yoke, which continues to the waist back and front, is of very fine muslin embroidery edged with a narrow frill of Valenciennes lace. The material is tucked in narrow tucks at the top, and set to yoke. It has a simple puffed sleeve, which is gathered into a cuff of the embroidery at the elbow. Maple Bavarian Cream. Heat one cupful maple sirup. Before it is too hot add the well-heated yolk of one egg and cook for a moment. Soak a half tablespoonful of gelatine in a little cold water. Put dissolved gelatine into the hot sirup and egg, and while it cools beat stiff a half pint of thick cream. Then beat the cream thoroughly into the cold sirup. Put in mold or sherbet glasses and set away in ice box. Jabots on Night Gowns. The dainty night gowns are now made with wide Dutch collars and fine embroidery, scalloped and edged with lace. Down the front from collar to waist is a four-inch jabot of lace and embroidery. Here and there are put flacks of colored ribbon. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1908. PRESIDENT OF ANANIAS CLUB! PRESIDENT OF ANANIAS CLUB! "BROWNSVILLE" ROOSEVELT WELL PLACED, AND BY SEN- ATOR FORAKER. WHATMANNER OF MANISTAFT? The Senator Resents for Us Roseveil and Taff's Insulting References to the Brownsville Outrage—A Masterly Defense. Cincinnati, O.—The following from Senator Funker is self-explanatory: Notwithstanding that the president says in his answer to Mr. Bryan of September 23, that I was the representative and champion and defender of corporations in the senate, there is not a word of truth in any such statement whether made by him or anybody else, and there is not a scrap of evidence that can be produced supposing that Mr. Taft be as fully and satisfactorily explained as has been explained the letter about the Jones bill and the proposed purchase of the Ohio State Journal. This brings me to Mr. Taft's letter and what the president has said in his comments on the same. If the president says that he wrote the name of the man to whom it was written it might have been easier for me to show that I had no responsibility for that man's action in writing to him. The man himself would have refuted the impression the president apparently seeks to create that he wrote either at my instance or in my interruption. If he did any way, sought Mr. Taft's help for reelection to the senate. SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. When Mr. Taft's candidacy for the presidency was first announced I was surprised to learn from the newspapers that the program of those having it in charge involved my "elimination" from public life. An open declaration of war, such as the "elimination" proposition involved, naturally brought controversy and strife where there should have been only peace. The only other thing that many proposition—Taft for president, Harris for governor and me for senator. He did that on his own motion; not only without any request from me, but contrary to my desires. Nevertheless I at once publicly announced that if that expressed the wish of the Republicans of Ohio, no one would actually than I would. Therefore Mr. Burton gave out an interview in which he stated that Mr. Taft would not accept from the Republicans of Ohio an endorsement for the presidency if coupled with an endorsement of me for the senatorship. I am repeating from memory, and do not pretend to give his opinion on the matter. I curiously stating the effect of it. This appeared to be such a gross public insult and so uncalled for that hostilities were immediately resumed. They continued until Mr. Taft was nominated. Then, so far as I was concerned, they stopped instantly and I supposed from the character of Mr. Taft's response to that incident that Mr. Taft had stopped on his part; at least I was so assured by his friends and managers, and in that connection and was also assured Mr. Burton had no authority to give out his offensive interview. Much more of the same character might be mentioned, but I have no reason to believe that I have letter performs the very important office of exonerating Mr. Burton from the charge of having spoken without authority and fixes responsibility where it belongs. Mr. Taft knew I had never opposed the policy of supervising and regulating interstate carriers and interstate commerce. He knew that my opposition to the rate bill was not because I was opposed to the general policy of regulation and supervision, but only to some features of the methods it was proposed by the judge to be applied to a state that a senator should be controlled by the legislature of his state against his intelligence, his conscience and his judgment about a great public question of far reaching, serious consequences. Without disparaging genuine morals, it can be truthfully said that less imaginary and professional "rightness of action" and "moral awakening" and more common sense in the policies of the administration would have excited less of that opposition of which Mr. Taft's letter complains. At any rate, in the presence of the senator, I should have been and the unfortunate consequences resulting from the enforcement of the rate law as to foreign commerce, I do not think I need make any opioy for voting against the rate bill; certainly I do not think it was an offense of such a heinous character that I should be read out of the parlor or court. I have practically done. I have in mind not the stopping indefinitely of adequate rail construction at a time when it is so badly needed, nor the losses amounting to billions of dollars which have been sustained on account of the shrinkage in values of all kinds of securities but the empty dinner pails and suffering families of unemployed wage workers and the humber classes of people to be found by thousands in every section of the Union. Responsibility for such results is serious. It is the first time we have had anything like it under a Republican administration, and this will help this? Friendship. He has been generously indulgent. All our natural conditions are favorable to a resumption of the fullest prosperity, and yet it does not come. A million brimful dinner pails have been kicked over. We know that the policies of the Republican party filled them. Whose policies emptied them? I am at least thankful, profoundly so, that no one has ever charged—not even my pills, encephalitis, or any other illness has been emptied or that any wage worker has ever lost a day's wages by reason of any act or speech or vote of mine. As to the Brownsville matter, Mr. Taft, speaking of me, says: "He has seized upon and magnified an important but incidental matter to embarrass the administration, using in this without scruple a blind race prejudice to accomplish his main purpose." I have no way of proving what was in my mind except by referring to the record. Anyone who reads that will fall to find a sentence or a word to justify any such statement as Mr. Taft makes. In view of Judge Taft's statement, I trust I may be allowed to repeat what I have sold a number of times that in this whole matter I had the power to serve, but was anxious to see that common justice was done to the representatives of a noble and loyal race, every one of whom is by nature a Republican. The colored voters are known to be more or less displeased with the action of the Republican party in not passing some relief measures for these soldiers, and many of them have signified the purpose of Judge Taft's letter of his official relation to the matter. And now comes the president and publishes Judge Taft's letter containing his unfortunate reference to this unfortunate case. What does he mean? Does anybody imagine that the president is unable to see that he is rubbing (irritating) a sore when he should have brought a plaster? Does he imagine, or can anybody suppose that the Receiver is unable to be brought to the support of Judge Taft by parading in these closing days of the campaign Judge Taft's belittling of their chief grievance by mentioning it as "an incidental matter" which has been "seized upon and magnified, using in this without scruple a blind race prejudice," and then adding the charge that all this is done only to "embarrass the administra-Continued on Third Page. MRS. ROBISON FOR BRYAN. Gives Her Reasons and Feels That They Ought to be Accepted Generally by Our People— "Defeat Taft!" Editor Gaze, Dear Sir: As the days pass, it seems more necessary to me, that the colored people, for their own good, should use all their power to defeat Taft. And, to more fully ensure his overwhelming defeat, vote for Bryan, thus making each vote count TWO. Why throw away half your power by voting for any third party. You do not become Democrats. You only use the club ready to your hand to protect yourselves and those who are really your friends. Taft may pretend to be a senator, but he will betray both and knife Foraker if he gets the chance. Look at his conduct now. We know Foraker never did a dishonorable thing. Taft knows it, too. Yet he falls to come to his defense. Don't trust Taft. God hates a coward. Avenge the insults offered to you and the senator by voting for Bryan. If Taft is elected, Roosevelt will claim the credit and Taft will forget his "inherited" love and sympathy for the colored race, for four years. Who would be free, himself must strike the blow. Do not yield one lota. We drop the party from Roosevelt! DEFEAT TAFT!! Yours truly. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: A copy of your issue of even date reached my hands and was read with great interest. The most interesting thing in it, to me, is a dispatch item on the first page headed "Spanish War Veterans," and relates to the convention of order lately held at Boston, Mass. The writer had the honor of serving as a minor commissioned officer in an Ohio regiment which was near the scene of operations at Tampa, Florida. Although he never saw an enemy or smelled powder, fired in warfare, he was not a soldier. The white was nearly two thousand miles nearer the danger of so doing than others now busy in trying to make the efforts of such ridiculous and small. The service of the colored troops in that campaign (and no man ever gazed on better regiments in the his army) was the reason them to the fullest privileges of honored membership in the "Spanish War Veterans," but to the closest and most friendly comradeship of the individual members of that or any other military order formed for the purpose of keeping memorials of those duty well performed and perpetuating ties of comradeship and brotherhood formed during such strenuous times. Lynched. But is Found Alive! El Paso, Texas—George Clark, only charged with shooting Constable W. H, Taylor, who attempted to arrest him at Shero, Tex, September 21, was hanged by a mob to a tree, leaving him for dead. The next morning he was taken to jail. A second mob of white brutes threatened to lynch Clark. IN UNION IN EASTERN THE WRONG IS MOST FLAGRANT IN THE ROOSEVELT-TAFT OUTRAGE, THE BROWNSVILLE "INCIDENT," INGRATITUDE OF BASEST SORT Bishop Walters Asks Some Pertinent Questions and Makes Some Strong, Timely Statements That Should Chicago, Ill.—The following is from a recent issue of the Daily News of this city, and has so much truth that it is worthy of reproduction at this time in The Gazette: "President Roosevelt has failed to justify his position in discharging the Negro soldiers from the regular army, for it has never been denied that he was a man of a couragean. They were exonerated by a Texas grand jury, a very strong point in their favor. Then, too, the congressional military committee that thoroughly investigated the case at Washington could not find sufficient evidence to convict them, even though certain members of that committee were blamed from the outset. "Among these discharged troops were men who had served their country well or more than a service, men who had served their service, both in the Indian uprisings and the Spanish-American war, men who were with the president himself at San Juan hill and whose conduct was praiseworthy at El Caney. That these men should be branded as midnight assassins and kicked out of the army by the very man whom they sustained upon the field is ingratitude, and that the Negroes of this country should protest the least surprising. That an effort should be made to redress such a flagrant wrong was only natural. "It is exceedingly unfortunate that President Roosevelt should have taken such a stand against a people who have always been so stanch and loyal to the Republican party. I feel confident that had these troops been given a fair and impartial trial and then found guilty of conduct unbecoming American soldiers there would not have been one word of protest uttered." BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. Bishop Alexander Walters recently wrote the Star of Zion, organ of the A. M. E. Zion church connection, relative to the same matter, as follows: "As to the Brownsville affair—if an injustice has been done the Negro soldiers primarily and the whole race secondarily and the wrong has not been made right, then the Negroes who do not resent the injustice are devoid of real manhood and are unworthy of the name of freemen. Taere is not another nation under heaven that would be as indifferent to such an outrage as the one that was a punishment pool of discontent until justice had been done to Captain Dreyfus—we have one hundred and sixty-seven wronged soldiers—there is no question as to the outrage. The president has had all the machinery of the government at his command to prove the guilt of one Negro out of one hundred and sixty-seven, and notwithstanding the unlawful actions of the冤脀 of America, the war department has the judicial and executive departments of the government to aid him in his quest of criminal evidence, two years have intervened and not one Negro has been named as being guilty of the shooting up of the town of Brownsville. When ten young white men were dismissed from West Point the matter was reconsidered by the president, who stated that while it was true they were not did not like to blast the future of ten child soldiers. When I read it I said to myself what about the future of one hundred and sixty-seven splendid young Negro men? Is it nothing to blast their future? I cannot understand why some black men treat this terrible crime against the战 as a little matter unworthy of serious consideration. Are we as a race so lacking in the finer sensibilities that we do not know when we are outraged or insulted? If we are incapable of recognizing in the future of ten child soldiers hold this nation to an accountability for this crime. If we have a spark manhood and courage left we will resent this injustice at the polls next November." Joe Gans Broke? Gans wouldn't admit he needed the money, even though it was known here that even his automobile is in soak to Al Herford in Baltimore. Today, at the age of thirty-seven, Joe has got to keep on fighting, for his $30,000 hostility in Baltimore is loaded down with a $22,000 mortgage - Cleveland Leader. Agents Wanted! For Taylor's Cylinder Comb; the best hair straightener. Every family will write THE NEWTON NOVELTY MFG. CO. 310 Main St. Clincnathi, O. 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. The editor of the Newport News (Va.) Star ought to wake up, especially on the Foraker matter. The senator has not "yielded to any temptation," except one to protect his good name. Hearst, Roosevelt and Taft make a fine trio. "Birds of a feather," etc. Elsewhere in this paper "Fair Play" writes most interestingly of the Afro-American veterans of the Spanish-American war. That is more than Col. Theodore Roosevelt did in Harper's Magazine soon after the close of that "unpleasantness." Have you forgotten how he charged some of his saviors in that Cuban campaign with cowardice? Well, we have not and never will. The rebuffs given the renegade Taft Negro at the National Republican Committee headquarters in New York City and Chicago ought to be enough for decent and race respecting Afro-Americans. The above does not necessarily have reference to the Roosevelt black "bread and butter brigade" (federal office-holders). They are supposed to wallow in the Tatt-Roosevelt mire and be given rebuffs and other political kicks at will, for the salaries they are receiving. The Hon. J. S. Sherman, candidate for vice president on the Republican ticket, learned something last Monday evening in Bethel A. M. E. church, Chicago, he ought to have known, and would have, no doubt, but for the lies told him by members of the Roosevelt black "bread and butter brigade" and the few other black traitors whom Roosevelt and Taft could not insult and mistreat enough to make them show the proper manhood-resentment at election time. See Chicago letter, elsewhere in this paper. Editor Simmons of the N. Y. National Review is being imposed upon by an individual by the name of Oliver Randolph (at Washington, D. C.,) who claims that a meeting of the Foraker National league was held in that city recently. If Randolph, "the bright young Mississippi lawyer," was the league, then a meeting was regularly called and held recently in his room at the national capital. (With apologies to the N. Y. Age, which paper months ago seemed to know this "bright young Mississippi lawyer" better than we did.) God knows Senator Foraker is entirely correct and right when he says "no self-respecting Negro, reading what Judge Taft says in his letter and adding it to all that has gone before, can vote for him without feeling that he is making a greater sacrifice than most men, white or black, are willing to make." Taft's contemptible effort to belittle our interest in the Brownsville outrage, is one of three "chief grievances," Senator, why, no self and race-respecting members of the race can vote for him in November. The Gazette endorses and unqualifiedly, too, all that Senator Foraker says anent the Brownsville matter in his splendid article published upon our first page to day. Speaking of Taft, the Cadiz (KY). Informer says: "He believes in a square deal for all men without regard to race and color. That is not so and unless the editor of the Informer has been emulating Rlp Van Winkle for the past three years, he must know it. If condoning (if not indeed indorsing) disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars in the South for the Informer's editor and his people, and indorsing Roosevelt's (and his own) discharge without honor of the one hundred and sixty-seven members of "The Black Battallion," are "square deals" for our people, we fail to see it that way and do not believe the Informer's editor does either. Come, now, be honest to yourself and the race. The Columbia (O.) Standard-World in its last issue, published a portrait of Congressman E. L. Taylor of that district, underneath which appeared the following; "Makes a great speech at an emancipation celebration. Will hold his party derelict if it fails to set on the distranchisement of colored voters." Well, this is certainly "rich." The Republican party has been "derelict" so many years and so willingly so that it gave substantial recognition and encouragement to distranchisement in its latest National Convention at Chicago when it seated more than two hundred "illy-white delegates" from the south (most of whom had absolutely no right to the recognition given them) and for no other reason than that they announced a willingness to vote for the nomination c" Taft if given seats in the con- vention. More than two hundred regularly elected delegates, most of whom were for Senator Foraker for the presidential nomination, were unseated and barred from the floor of the convention. That the Standard-World or any other race paper can be induced to publish such "hogwash" at this time is particularly and too, too, hard in Ohio, is anything but creditable to it, to say the least. The great mass of our voters in this state and the country over, particularly in the north know better. Wasn't it shrewd on Taft's part, prior to the Roosevelt publication of his anti-Foraker letter last week, to be, ever and anon, referring to the fact that he owed his start in public life to the Senator? He certainly had a lot of our people fooled for a short time at least. But blundering "Teddy let the cat out of the bag," and now we are all forced to see and acknowledge the fact that Taft is just as bitter an enemy of Senator Forakef as is President "Brownsville" Roosevelt. No use talking, you simply cannot vote for Mr. "Disfranchisement Jim Crow Car" Taft unless you wish to drive a nail in the political coffin of our great and good friend, the Senator, whose elimination from public life they are seeking. Let us do our utmost to assist in the complete elimination of those two lovers of the south, "Four-fusher" Roosevelt and his human phonograph, Taft. REMEMBER BROWNSVILLE! OUR COURSE FULLY JUSTIFIED! It is with the greatest degree of satisfaction we call our readers' and our contemporaries' attention to the fact that The Gazette has the association of America's greatest and most distinguished statesman, the Honorable Joseph Benson Foraker, in the stand we took, politically, many months ago and have consistently maintained ever since. What Roosevelt and Taft's letters, published last week, finally forced the Senator to reluctantly acknowledge, we saw many months ago and governed our course accordingly. If ever a news paper was fully and completely justified in taking the seemingly too radical stand we took last year when we led the local revolt among our people of this community against Roosevelt and Taft's candidate for Mayor of Cleveland, Congressman Burton, Senator Foraker most prominent political enemy in Northern Ohio, if not in the entire state. The Gazette has been in the last ten days, not only by letters referred to but also by the Senate's magnification reply to them, part of which will be found upon our first page to-day. Ever since the Chicago convention made possible by the seating of hundreds of lily-white "delegates?" and the unseating of the same members of the government of the Senate? because they were not for Taft, there has been growing question to question the wisdom of our course, always with the statement that "Senator Foraker is for Taft." This, too, in the face of the Senator's statement in his Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce speech that Taft's fatal defect was his wholesale endorsement of the so-called Roosevelt policies, which included, of course, his and Roosevelt's policy in the Brownsville outrage. Now all is clear. All know Roosevelt, Taft and Foraker, perfectly, so far as this campaign is concerned, if they did not before, and there can be none so blind, to-day, as to be unable to see the wisdom of our stand against the President and his human phonograph (Taft), and in favor of our great and good friend, the Senator, and his beneficaries. The Black Battalion" and the race. The President and his candidate for the presidency are not only against the Senator but are positive, dangerous menaces to the future progress of the race. Therefore we are but doing our duty to the race and Mr. Foraker in opposing the candidacy of Mr. Taft. VOTE AGAINST TAFT! Roosevelt's and Taft's Abuse of Sena tor Foraker and "The Black Battalion." Additional Good Reasons for So Doing. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 30, 1908. Editor The Gazette, Dear Sir: As it has been some time since I have heard from you, I decided to pen you a few lines. Well, I guess that politics is getting warm in Ohio. The stand that Taft and the president have taken against Senator Foraker of Kansas, and that is to Foraker's friends and that is to vote against Taft. Our people here are very much aroused and two-thirds of them will not support Mr. Taft, as a vote for him means a vote to condemn Foraker, and certainly no thoughtful Afro-American will cast such a vote. If they should do such a thing it will be another man in congress that would demand fair play for the Negro in opposition to the administration forces. President Roosevelt will receive the New Jersey Negroes' answer in the returns next day after the election. W. E. Griffin and R.

James Campbell probe here last Saturday in part because of the "The boss ridden and decadent organization now posing as the Republican party has recently presented two grotesque spectacles to the people of Ohio. The first was enacted at Cincinnati upon the day that Judge Tattie Roosevelt's hand frustless attempt to explain the delinquencies of the Chicago platform. With a docility that astonished his admirers he delivered this 'edited' speech just as it came from the master (Roosevelt's) hand, and a leading Republican paper cogently described its appearance by saying the nausea of the people were even staggered in nearly every sentence would suffocate any ordinary man." This unhappy candidate was surrounded upon that occasion by the minions of the big Cincinnati boss (Cox) whom he had so soundly berked and openly repudiated and whose resplendent cohorts were parading before him with the sword of the heart. Was there ever such mockery? Nobody there was sincerely the colored contingent, which had been imported from another state to supply the vacant places of the self-respecting colored men of Ohio who refused to mingle with the ruck of foreign hirelings falsely masquerading as the Revolver was at the Youngstown campaign opening, in which but a few Negroes could be induced by all sorts of promises, etc., to participate." "A Race of Animals." Pliqua, O.—The defection of our vote in this county has taken a more decided tone since a meeting of the Independent Civic league at Troy recently, and the mayor, D. C., a federal employee who was here visiting, spoke. He said: "I saw a letter written by Roosevelt to the Brownsville inquiry committee in which he wrote that he would not believe anything a colored man would have done. I am a Republican, but I am not for Roosevelt or his man Friday, Taff, and I hope every colored man will vote against him and his anti-Negro policy. The colored man wants justice not office. They may threaten me with a vote against him, but they cannot scare me away from my duty to my own people." Football Injuries Caused Insanity. Football Injuries Caused Insanity. New Haven, Conn.—While playing with the scrub team against the Yale 'varsity football team on Yale field Monday Lewis Warren of New York, a member of the class of 1910, Sheffield Scientific school, was kicked on the head and rendered unconscious. He was removed to the gymnasium, where, on recovering consciousness, he became violently insane. He fought with other members of the team for an hour and a half, when he was taken to the Yale infirmary, where he again lapsed into unconsciousness, in which state he still remains. Farewell Drink Caused Death. Kokomo, Ind.—Both believing that the local option law would cut off the whisky supply, Charles Thresper and Charles and William Lindley on Sunday took a jug of whisky to a gravel pit to have a farewell drink. Thresper and William Lindley were found dead in the gravel pit Monday and Charles Lindley was found lying near the bodies in a dying condition. Teachers and pupils of the Greentown school, near the pit, marched past the dead bodies to give the children an object lesson in temperance. Murdered by a Highwayman. Watertown, N. Y—Harry Hosmer, aged 31 years, while walking from the village of Fine to his home, a mile distant, Sunday night, was held up by a highwayman who took from him his watch and money, gagged him and made him walk into the woods and there shot him to death. Leslie Combs, aged 18, who was released from the state prison at Danaemora on Saturday after serving two years for burglary, told his parents that he had killed Hosmer, and his father surrendered him to the authorities. Can't Go Behind the Returns. Lansing, Mich. — The supreme court on Monday handed down a decision in favor of Gov. Fred M. Warner in the Bradley-Warner recount case. The court held with Gov. Warner that the board of canvassers has no power to go behind the returns from the recent primary election in Michigan and examine into the enrollment of voters as demanded by Dr. Bradley, state auditor general, who was defeated for the nomination for governor by Warner by about 1,500 votes on the face of the returns.

THE GREAT COMPOSER 8. COLERIDGE TAYLOR SIMPLY SKINS A PREJUDICED VIRGINIAN. IN AN ENGLISH MAGAZINE Lying Attacks Exposed—Malicious Misrepresentation Showed Up—Unjust and Unfair Criticism Completely Wiped Out—Splendid! "Reynolds," a widely-read English magazine, recently published two articles written by C. Kelly. One was by Walter C. Kelly (white), a Virginian. This article was marked by the usual misrepresentations. The other was written by S. Coleridge Taylor, upon the request of the editor of "Reynolds." Mr. Taylor wrote the headline: "In Defense of the Negro." "NATIONAL INDULGENCE IN THE PERILOUS LUXURY OF RACE PREJUDICE." "The Lesson of Springfield"—Race Prejudice, a Moloch—It is a Liar— Kill it—No Compromise with Such a Pest—The Cosmopolitan Dinner a Right Move—A Strong Article. Among the numerous comments on the horrors recently enacted at Springfield, ill., every moral is drawn except the one most obvious and most important of all. The southern papers find their grief considerably mitigated owing to the fact that this outrage took place in a northern state. The northern papers talk wisely about the horrors of the enforcement of law and then told them with an attitude of duty fully performed. Not one of them dares to tell the plain truth, which is that the present villain, like so many in the past and so many more yet to come, is the strictly logical sequence of national indulgence in the perilous luxury of race prejudice, and the constant formation of evil passions in the ever receptive mob. It is high time to put them to rest when it belongs. Who are continually fanning the flames of racial antipathy are undoubtedly sincere in their abhorrence of such crimes as that of Springfield; yet it is certain that without the race hatred inspired by their teachings, these things would speedily cease to be. Whatever the immediate cause or provocation of such outbreaks, it is noted that the horrors of their cowardly attack to such members of the hatred race as can readily be reached. The cure for these evils can easily be named, inasmuch as it is identical with the cure for most other national sins. In brief, it may be designated as fundamental right thinking. When the principle of equal human rights, regardless of race or color, shall leave all society, from the highest to the lowest, we shall not be obliged to apologize for such outrages as that of Springfield, is only in the United States. It is only in the United States of Europe, where a bitter race or religious animosity prevails, that lynchings and mass mobacras are possible in the twentieth century. Kill race prejudice, and we shall have no cause for humiliation over the existence of such fliendish barbarsim in our country as cannot be even comprehended in England, France or Germany. Let this vicious principle live and spread, and we shall still be compelled to ranked as low in the scale of civilization by the nations of the Old World. There is no other remedy, and no excuse for not adopting this one. Race prejudice is a Moloch, which ever demands to be fed with blood. It is antithetic to all the higher ideals of our civilization, and in strict opposition to every fundamental principle of democracy. All real progress ends at least in the direction of human breadth; race prejudice aims to anilhate the spirit of fraternity in mankind. Civilization breeds gentleness and courtesy; race prejudice stimulates roughness and violence. Democracy opens wide the door of opportunity to all men; race prejudice slams the door in the face of the injustices of a mere accident of birth. It is an insult in its repudiation of the common decency of fair play. It is a liar from the beginning, falsifying the plainest facts of science, repudiating the most obvious lessons of history, hypocritically trampling on the clearest teachings of the religion its apologists falsehood, uniformly a persecution. Knowing its own inherent vitality, it lives in perpetual dread of exposure, and uses the approved weapons of villainy in all ages to stifle the voice of truth. In the centers of race prejudice, free speech is a thing unknown. Tar and feathers, the scourge and the arms of the midnight assassin, are its approving weapon. Being an evil tree, it inevitably brings forth evil fruit. There can be no compromise with such a pest. For our foottiness in trucking to its insolence, we have already paid dearly. The time has come for a radical change of attitude. The dinner of the Cosmopolitan society, which brought together in fraternal fellowship a number of members of the white and colored races for the earnest consideration of great national issues which concern both races may now be seen to have no false meaning. The common comment is moved in the organs of race prejudice in the south and the still meaner trucklers to a false sentiment in the north, proved this. To draw the fire of the enemy and learn his actual location, is often of vital importance to military officers. In adventure, that race prejudice is shamelessly and brutally invasive; that its essence is virulent hate; that it demands absolute and humiliating surrender of principle from all who cherish a nobler human ideal; that its loud-mouthed pretension is so insignificant that it is merely a mask to hide the hideous visage of oligarchic despotism. The enemies of mankind have always found their account in setting human beings against one another by means of race and caste divisions. It is a very old game, and one that has often been successful. As long as it prevails, a fearful stumbling block lies in the path of all social and economic progress. We must fight our reform battle consciously for ALL, of every race, color, creed and social station, before we may hope to work for human rights and handicap ourselves at the outset by narrowing our interest to the welfare of one race alone, is to invite and deserve defeat. It is not sufficient, however, to support legislation which shall open equal opportunities to all races. Such legislation already prevails in Illinois and yet the Springfield outrages took place. The seat of race prejudice in our own minds; until it is thorny legislation that lacks the lack of Springfields. True democracy demands that we rate every individual in strict accordance with personal merit, entirely ignoring all accidents of birth and color. As long as we lump together as necessarily inferior socially or in any other respect, all the members of any given race, regardless of race, must be we have not grasped the dimensions of democratic ideals. This ought to be a plattitude so obvious as to render its repetition unnecessary; but unfortunately it is recognized only by the tiny handful who have evolved to the point of doing their own thinking. The cultured snobbery, which merely puts on airs of conscious superiority, has been the only member of the Parish race to aspire to honorable recognition, is the same spirit which, slavishly copied by less cultured classes, filters down from stratum to stratum, until in the coarser-veined mob it enquires in violent outbreaks at the slightest pretext. To the most must be begun at the top. This is the recently which has never been tried, and which alone is fundamental. It lies within ourselves to begin. The enemies of race prejudice must take the aggressive, and fight the monster wherever it rears its ugly head. Let us quit trucking and apologizing, and stand for humanity, and let us whether it gives offense or not. The spirit of Garrison and Phillips is needed to-day, to complete the work left half done when their mighty spirits passed on. Remember Springfield! JAMES F. MORTON, JR., (white.) White Soldiers Not Dismissed. At Laramie, Wyo., on August 9th 32 white soldiers criminally assaulted a young woman, leaving her unconscious upon the ground and her escort beaten into insensibility with a gun. Twenty-six men alleged to have been implicated in the attack are under arrest. The others are still at court-martial. They kept awfully quiet about the matter. Every effort was made to keep the assault a secret, but it leaked out. Now, why were those white soldiers not lynched and burned? Why were they not branded as outlaws, and why were not the headlines over the asylum system? Why were letters on the front page? Why did Mr. Roosevelt dismiss the whole artillery battery in disgrace, without a trial? Why were not these things done? Was it because these were white soldiers? Will some of our soldiers be killed, or self-sacrifice themselves hoarse for Taft? Mr. Roosevelt answer these questions?—The Portland (Ore.) Advocate. Bryan Suggested It! September 1. Prof. Wm. H.

We wish them many more returns of the day. The statutes require that a man be in the state a year, and in the county 30 days. A single man has to be in his ward precinct 20 days. This is not unusual. We have many registers at the voting booth in his home precinct. No witnesses are required. Registration days this year fall on October 1, 8, 16 and 17. It is currently rumored that the Lyceum theater management is refusing to sell to our people seats in the first eight or second floor.

Holly, was also assisted by Revs. Bailey and Dandridge. Mr. Horace Gibbs of Little Rock Ark., who visited his family in Lorain recently, was in the city last week. With Prof. W. P. Hill of Mammassas, Va., and D. C. Fisher of Lorain, they visited the campus on week Tuesday evening to hear Hon. C. W. Anderson of New York City speak, but found so few people there that they left. All three returned to Lorain on the suburban car which left Cleveland at 10 o'clock that evening. Yes, Bryan's Children Study With Negroes. Lincoln, Neb.-F. S. Ferguson, a Birmingham, Ala., lawyer, "nutty" as the result of a foolish race prejudice. has written to State Superintendent of Schools O'Brien, asking if mouthy Tom Watson's charge that Bryan has sent his children to public schools where Negro pupils are also admitted is true. O'Brien Monday malled the following reply: "Mr. Bryan's children have attended the public schools of Lincoln, along with Negro children, the same as my own children are doing now. We've gone to cars in Nebraska, Negro voters are not disfranchised and the people rule." As Taft has endorsed or condoned disfranchisement and "jim crow" cars for southern Afro-Americans, this certainly gives Bryan away the best of it from a racial view-point. Chicago, Ill.—"A clean Negro boy is better than a dirty white boy," declared Otto Schneider, president of the board of education last week Friday, when asked concerning the complaints made by white pupils of the Hancock and Keith public schools. There have been white children committing because they had to be in school with Negro boys and girls. But Negroes have also complained of being compelled to associate with 'poor white trash.' The parents of some of the Negro children who attend the Keith and Hancock schools are a far better class than the parents of some of the white pupils of the Keith and Hancock Negro children live in any school district, they can attend the public school in the vicinity of their home in spite of any dissatisfaction it causes among white girls and boys and their parents. If white pupils do not care to associate with the Negro girls and boys, they should move out of those school districts. Asked concerning the removal of many of the white pupils from the Lake high school, President Schneider said: "The Hancock school is not overcrowded, while at Lake we had more pupils than we could easily handle. The transfer of the pupils was made to better the sanitary conditions. Because for our emergency start this so-called race war." "The Chicago Tribune, a Roosevelt-Taft Republican daily, has stirred up this school trouble for about three years. Medill McCormick, one of its owners and editors, returned here some months ago from the Cleveland (O.) Daily Leader. He married a daughter of Senator Mark Hanna, deceased. "The Black Battalion."

The Brownsville agitation was begun in defense of a fundamental principle underlying the life of the republic itself, and "the agitation" will be the basis of the corporation's corporations may come and go, but the perpetual struggle of the ages for fundamental law and justice will go on until presidents, congresses and the courts respond to the aroused conscience of a state.

Can it be possible that the president wants to defeat Judge Taft? That cannot be, and yet he could hardly do any other one thing better calculated to lose him votes, for no self-respecting Negro reading what Judge Taft says in this letter and adding to it all that has gone before, can vote for him because that he is made greater sacrifice the more white or black, are willing to make. In any event, the president's action and comments are a wrong toward the Republican party, for they amount to a charge against the party at a critical hour of the campaign of an unworthy purpose in connection with a matter that every candidate has held of highest value and in deepest appreciation. What Judge Taft says in his letter is equivalent of an assertion that the colored people of the country who have been gratified by what was done in the Brownsville matter have been simply hoodwinked designing selfishness. This is bad designing a president makes it worse when he says; " * * * the entire agitation over Brownsville was in large part not a genuine agitation on behalf of the colored men at all, but merely one phase of the effort by the representatives of certain law-deying corporations to bring discredit upon the administration because it was seeking to cut out the necessary force not only to corrupt men of wealth but especially with the corrupt alliance between certain business men of large fortunes and certain politicians of great office." In other words, the Brownsville proceeding was not only all Judge Taft said it was, but in addition to being designing and selfish, it was prompted by the "representatives of law-defying politicians to bring dishevel upon the administration and its policy with respect to them." That is worse than the president's claim that the panic of last October was precipitated by a lot of rich men in Wall Street who wanted to bankrupt themselves and the whole country that they might discredit him; and worse even than the story that Mr. Trump was supposed to 000,000 with which to prevent him from naming his chosen successor. I happen to know better than anybody else can know that there is not the slightest ground for such a charge. It is invention pure and simple, and, judging by the frequency with which the president is bringing the matter to the attention of dishevelled to the conscience when there is consciousness of having done a great wrong. HON. J. S. SHERMAN HISSED! Vice Presidential Candidate's Speech Stopped by Call Calls and Hoots — Roosevelt's Name Jeered. Chicago, Ill.—Leaders generally regard the reception given the Hon. James S. Sherman, Rep. of Illinois, at the Bethel A.M. E. Church Monday evening where he was practically hissed off the stage, as a strong indication that our voters generally are not supporting the Republican ticket this fall and they are right. The feeling shown toward Mr. Taft's running mate corroborates the reports that Negroes have broken into the Republican reception given Mr. Sherman by the South Side Afro-Americans that crowded into Bethel church came as a distinct surprise to the Republican chiefs who refuse to recognize a fact! "There are no better soldiers, as Theodore Roosevelt has often said, than those of the African race," shouted Mr. Sherman to his audience Monday. "How about Brownsville?" yelled a man in the crowd. When Mr. Sherman attempted to reply his words were lost in a flood of cat calls, hisses and shrieks. For five minutes the audience was an up-turn in the hall, and the audience were in the hall succeeded in restoring quiet fully one-third of the audience had filed into the street. No power on earth can stem the tide of rising wrath against Roosevelt and Taft. The latter must be defeated in the face of force, pace, and Republican party from its present miserable "leadership." North Ohio A. M. E. Conference. Dayton, O. — The session here last week in the Y. M. C. A. hall, closing Monday, was a success in every way. The reports were all up to the usual level, and the staff are hard at work. Bishop W. B. Derrick of Flushing, L. L, New York state, presided, and Rev. Drs. J. M. Glmere and Charles Bundy of Cleveland were reappointed presiding elders as the result of excellent work. The staff are appointed to St. John's church, Cleveland, for a fourth year.

The French abbreviation of the bath la nature is shared by many people, particularly one old woman up in an east Tennessee town. The town had just had a water system installed and the natives were "pinting with pride" at their bathrooms and equipment where one could perform his ablutions at will without waiting and longing for Saturday night. This old woman was an exception to the rule. She made her home with her son, and his wife, according to the mother-in-law, was "allus a-hankerin" after somepin' newfledged. A neighbor, who had been in to inspect the improvements in the house, remarked to the old woman: "Well, Mrs. X—, this will be a pleasure for you—bath any time, night or day. You will certainly enjoy it—" "That I won't," said the old woman, tarly. "I been a member of the church 50 year an' always lived honest an' upright. Gt inter one or them tubs? Me? Why, Sary Ellen, them things ain't decent!" AWFUL GRAVEL ATTACKS. Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills After Years of Suffering. F. A. Rippy, Depot Ave., Gallatin, Tenn., says: "Fifteen years ago kidney disease attacked me. The pain in my back was so agonizing I finally had to give up work. Then came terrible attacks of gravel with acute pain and passages of blood. In all I passed 25 stones, some as large as a beam ney disease attacked me. The pain in my back was so agonizing I finally had to give up work. Then came terrible attacks of gravel with acute pain and passages of blood. In all I passed 25 stones, some as large as a bean. Nine years of this ran me down to a state of continual weakness and I thought I never would be better until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The improvement was rapid, and since using four boxes I am cured and have never had any return of the trouble." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. HAD HEARD THEM. Judge—Do you understand the nature of an oath? She—I'm a telephone girl, judge. Good English. A French lady living in America engaged a carpenter to do some work for her at a stipulated price. She was surprised later to find that he charged more than the price agreed upon. When she attempted to demonstrate with him, however, her English failed her and she said: "You are dearer to me now than when we were first engaged;"—Success. Getting Back at Him.

CASTAWAYS ARE RESCUED CASTAWAYS ARE RESCUED STEAMER AEON WRECKED ON A REEF IN MID-OCEAN. Passengers and Crew Spent Nearly Two Months on a Barren Island in the Pacific. Suva, Fiji Islands. — The castaways from the British steamer Aeon, who spent nearly two months on Christmas Island, an almost barren coral formation in the Pacific ocean, arrived here Wednesday on the steamer Manuka, of the Canadian-Australian line, all well and increased by one in number. A daughter was born to the wife of Chaplain B. R. Patrick, U. S. N., 24 hours before the Manuka was sighted, and this event, with the arrival of the rescuers, was made the occasion of much rejoicing. The Manuka reached Christmas Island on September 23. Six hundred bags of mail were transferred to the steamer during the night and the passengers and crew of the Aeon were taken aboard the next morning. The Aeon left San Francisco on July 6 for Auckland by way of Apla, and was carried on the coral island by the strong currents setting in shore. The steamer speedily broke up, but the malls were saved and a large quantity of stores. The refugees suffered few privations, but found themselves amid the remnants of former wrecks, indicating the danger of the reefs and tides. Besides the officers and crew, the Aeon carried Mrs. Patrick and her children and the wife of Leut. W. K. Riddle, U. S. N. Rude shelters were built, but later quite an artistic cottage was erected for Mrs. Patrick and her nurse out of lumber and the cabin fittings of the ship. Among the stores saved were plenty of fresh vegetables, and the men of the crew got fish in abundance by the use of clubs in the surf. A supply of fresh water was found at a depth of seven feet and according to the castaways, under the circumstances, they fared well indeed. TAFT VISITS BRYAN'S TOWN Republican Candidate Receives Warm Welcome at Lincoln, Neb. Lincoln, Neb.-Accepting the challenge of William J. Bryan, right in the home city of the Nebraskan, William H. Taft on Wednesday night not only indorsed President Roosevelt on the question of the publicity of campaign contributions, but defended it with arguments to establish that position as sound from the standpoint of public good and to show that the Bryan position was one simply for pre-election effect. Mr. Taft made 11 speeches in Nebraska before reaching Lincoln and five speeches in Lincoln. His audiences throughout were large and enthusiastic and his reception in Lincoln was made particularly gratifying to him by the enthusiasm exhibited by the immense crowds which greeted him at all points. Excursion trains came to Lincoln from many places in the state during the day and the city was alive with bands, marching clubs and general campaign excitement. Mr. Bryan, whose plan was to reach the city Wednesday foronow, had changed his schedule so as to bring him in at 1 o'clock Thursday morning. He managed a probated day possible meeting between the candidates. The one disappointing feature of the Taft demonstration in Lincoln was the bad condition of the voice of the candidate. A FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE. City of Hyderabad, India, was engulfed by a Flood—Thousands of People Drowned. Hyderabad, India—The catastrophe that overwhelmed Hyderabad, the capital of the nizam's dominions and left in its trail thousands of dead, was one of the most sudden and most appalling of many visitations in India. In the nizam's dominions are many tanks or lakes, the largest of which communicates with the river Musl. Tremendous rains caused the lake to overflow into the river, which in turn burst its banks. A flood of water 60 feet high swept down upon the city, carrying everything before it and completely devastating several quarters of the city. Thousands of tons of water crashed in a dense mass against the houses, burying under the ruins the natives to a number that cannot be estimated. When the flood subsided a vast quagmire of black mud, out of which arises a polished stench, marked the spot where thousands of people lived. Bands of natives are now searching this pool for the bodies of their relatives and the scenes are 'sickening. Many bodies have been recovered and of the bodies are smuggled. Many corpses were buried in the mound sonry and twisted iron. The flood actually wiped out a district a mile long and half a mile wide. Strike Is Declared Off. Winntepg, Man. — The strike of Canadian Pacific railroad mechanics which started August 4, was declared off Wednesday. The strike involved about 29,000 men.

Nothing leath, Frank ordered the town photographer to prepare 100 postcard pictures of his home and surroundings, and of these sent a dozen different views to Claude. He did not discover until too late that three big garbage barrels were in the foreground. In a couple of weeks Claude sent a dozen views of his mansion to Frank, and in the foreground were three beautiful automobiles, with a marble garage hard by. "Only the small letter b divides us," wrote the surgeon; "you have the garbage, I have the garage; I have the autos, you have the bar rels." Frank, feeling rather humiliated, telegraphed: "Garbage barrels a mistake of photographer; they be long to my neighbor." Claude replied: "Same with my autos and garage; got in by mistake; belong to my neighbor."—New York Press.

Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figa and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug-gists. A REASONABLE REQUEST.

PRESCRIBED CUTICURA After Other Treatment Failed—Raw Eczema on Baby's Face Had. Lasted Three Months—At Last Doctor Found Cure. "Our baby boy broke out with eczema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beafsteak for three months, and he would cry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months' treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura ointment, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby's. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs. M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan., May 14 and June 12, 1907." YOUNGSTER AN APT PUPIL. Every Indication That Tommy would Be Successful Politician. The children, especially Tommy, were very much interested in the game of politics, and father was delighted with their preceocity. The other day there was more than the usual whooping in the playroom, and their mother found the two smaller children assailing Tommy vigorously. "What's the matter?" she asked. "Tommy, what have you been doing?" "Nawthin: Only playing politics." "Well, but what did you do to the children?" "Just playing convention. We adopted the unit rule and I was chairman of the delegation. Then we introduced a resolution to decide whether they should take my apple or I should take theirs." "Well?" "I cast the vote of the delegation." Sometimes he has: George Eliot says that the expression on a woman's face when she is sewing tells the story of the woman's heart.

If she has many things to worry her and is possibly planning to make ten cents do a dollar's worth of good, or if she is naturally a vixen, it will show in her face, so after all it is not safe to predicate as to what her sewing face reveals.

"M-m, it's not aching just at present," said Mr. Brown, after a moment's hesitation, during which he made a cautious investigation with his tongue. "Didn't Mrs. Brown mention to you which tooth it was? I always rely on her in such matters."—"Youth's Companion. TESTING PAINT.
