IN UNION THERE IS STRONGTH TWENTY-SIXTH OUR VOT BRYA THE NEW ENGLAND SUFFRAGE LEAGUE HAILS SENATOR FOR AKER AS THE CHAMPION OF THE RACE. NAME OF ROOSEVELT HISSED Speakers, in Impassioned Speeches Plead with Auditors to Break Old Political Ties and Bend Their Efforts to Bring About Defeat of Providence, R. I.-With the unanimous adoption of an "appeal to the citizens of the United States" to defeat William H. Taft and elect William J. Bryan president of the United States, the New England Suffrage League, comprising Afro-American voters in the Congo Street Baptist church Oct. 5. The league sent word to Senator Foraker of its action in condemning the "dastardly attack" upon him and pledging him the unwavering support of the colored voters. The scene in the church was a remarkable one, as speaker after speaker assailed him with great bitterness. President Roosevelt and the Republican presidential candidate. The large audience that taxed the seating capacity of the church was aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm as the leaders told the history of the race and, saying, "We are all in crisis, pleaded with those present to forget their past political relations, break the ties that bind them to the Republican party and use their influence with their friends everywhere to bring about the defeat of the Republican ticket in the forthcoming election. I have voted the Republican ticket 22-19. I have voted the Democratic Powell of New Haven, "and this is 'skiddoo' year for me. I am still a Re- The Brown COLORD SOLDIERS TAFT DRAGS THE SOLD publican," he continued, "but not a Roosevelt Republican. I am a Republican that believes in the Republicanism of Wendell Phillips, Charles Summer, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley and Joseph Benson Foaker, but I want to have nothing to do with the King Roosevelt and Prince William Taft." "Remember Brownsville." Every mention of Senators Bulkeley of Connecticut and Foraker of Ohio was greeted with repeated cheers, while those of President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft were hissed repeatedly. The watchword of the colony was the "be remember Brownsville and vote against Taft and the Republican party." The resolution, which was adopted in the form of an address to the American people, says in part: "Neither Mr. Bryan nor any northern Democrat could be more prosouthern in feeling than President Roosevelt. For nearly two score years the colorado ticket has scored the colorado ticket in the face of threats, armed mobs and even death itself, without protection from the party he so devoted served. "But the 'golden calf', the G. O. P., which the colored衣物 worshipped so blindly, is a broken ideal and proves to be only clay, the isolated one," he said in the same dreams again. Mr. Taft, his nomination was made certain by unseating the black Foraker delegates at Chicago, proclaims his purpose to continue President Roosevelt's policies. "His 'policy' of maliciously assailing the courageous and chivalrous For- aker, largely accepting the unproved charge of the yellowest editor in America, and condemning his victim unheard, even as he did the soldiers Senator Foraker so determinedly defended. To every colored voter that dastardly attack should be a trumpet call to action, to stand by the man who staked his whole political future in his brave demand for fair play for our soldiers, and to vote against his enemies. "The colored voter has three methods of registering his protest against Republican injustice and treachery; he can refuse to vote for any presidential SENATOR J. B. FORAKER. candidate; he can vote for the Prohibition or Socialist candidates, both proven friends of justice and square dealing; he can make his vote count stronger than the strongest opponent, William J. Bryan. The evening session of the convention opened at 8 o'clock with the singing of the hymn, "Onward, Christian Solider." Upon the platform and encircling the hymn, the clergymen belonging to various USVILLE "Affray" MIDNIGHT ASSASSINS DOOP Courtesy of the M DIERS BY THE NECK TO ROOSEVELT Christian denominations. Rev. L. C. Parish of Boston delivered the invocation, after which Rev. S. W. Smith of this city welcomed the delegates to his church. He made an impassioned address for justice and fair play and urged the delegates to be calm but not angry. The principal speaker of the convention was Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, D. C., who spoke in part as follows: "The boasted statement so frequently made, that the Republican party freed the Negro, is not wholly true. The truth is that God, Abraham Lincoln, the Union army—composed of Democrats and Republicans and 186.5% slave, black man, set the Negro free and preserved the Union. "There is another half-truth which our Republican friends are fond of retelling that the Republican party enfranchised the Negro. It is a fact which we think cannot be successfully contradicted that the Republican party would not have enfranchised the Negro when it did—and perhaps never—it not been necessary for that party to be enfranchised. We order to keep itself in power and vote back into the Union the states that had recently seceded. For Oppression of Poor. "William H. Taft is pledged to carry out the policies of Mr. Roosevelt, and he has on his own account put himself on record as being in favor of the disfranchisement of the Negro, and his part in connection with the discharge of the colored soldiers at Brownsville is odious.

From all parts of the country come to us protests from tens of thousands of manly, industrious and loyal colored American citizens against the election of William H. Taft. SANDERS ASKS RESTORATION SANDERS ASKS RESTORATION Ex-First Sergent of "The Black Bat Tatition" Asks President Ropeswell to Reinstate Him to Rank and Rights—Declares Disgrace Impaired His Wife's Health. Washington, D. C.—Sergeant Mingo Sanders, of the troops discharged by President Ropeswell, participated in the Brownville, N.C., sent the president a letter recently requesting that he be reinstated in the army. Accompanying the letter is an affidavit from Sanders, denying he took part in the shooting-up of Brownville, or that he had any knowledge of who did the shooting. He claims to have been asleep at the post on the night of the shooting-up of Brownville, his record of six discharges after mortal service, and his seventh discharge "without honor." The president modified his order of discharge of the troops about a year ago, and under it each discharged soldier applying to reinlist can be taken individually by the enlisting officer. Sanders in the deposition by his attorney, N. B. Marshall Esq., recites that he applied to prove his identity and wait till the senate inquiry was over. He was later informed he had three Illustrated THE SQUARE DEAL O F H O P E Montgomery Colored Alabamian. T WHO KICKS THEM IN! months to apply in. He applied three weeks before the three months had expired and was informed he could have no further chance. Sanders emphasizes the fact that 30 years' service expired May 5, 1908, and but for the discharge without honor, and the refusal to let him submit testimony as to his innocence he would now be enabling half pay for the rest of his life. Mingo Sanders' Record As to his record Sanders says that he holds seven discharges and the character indorsems therein are: 1. Very good 6. Excellent—A faithful and reliable soldier. 7. Discharged without honor Sanders says he has served in every campaign for the last 25 years and reminds Col. Roosevelt that he shared his hard tack with him and his "Rough Riders" at El Caney. Then Sanders relates pathetically the loss he has sustained, the dwindling of his savings and the blow to his wife's health in his disgrace. He asks that the president correct his record and restore full rights.

First word as to the past: The Democratic party has from the first been the party in American politics that believed in the widest participation of American citizens in the American government. This creed led to the overthrow of aristocratic tendencies in 1800, in 1828 and let us hope in 1908. The enfranchisement of the common crowd brought however evils and temptations. Hesitation and war followed Jefferson, spoils and scandal followed Jackson, and an unholy alliance of democracy and slavery brought the Civil War. Since the Civil War the impossible alliance of radical socialistic Democracy at the North with an artistocratic caste party at the South has been a spectacle for gods and men. The combination simply cannot last. The South does not believe in free trade PROF. W. E. B. DU BOIS. and it does believe in Imperialism, caste privilege and a free hand to corporate wealth. Why then is it linked with a party that stands for free trace, anti-imperialism, anti-caste and strict control of corporate wealth? Because it fears the Negro, and the Negro votes the Republican ticket blindly and solidly. Why does the Negro thus vote? SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. Is it because he believes in high tariffs, the conquest of brown and black people and gently chastened Privilege? No, he believes in a low tariff, free Philippines and free labor. He votes against these things because he fears the South and the South is Democratic. Here then are two "solid" votes—great, unthinking, unreasoning wads of political power—voting against each of the country's interests and their own interests to go the devil. Meantime the Democratic party faces a most exasperating impasse. Its most earnest professions of social uplift are negatived and contradicted by its Vardamans and Tillmans. And yet with the solid Negro vote against it, the Democratic party can only hope to win by aid of the Solid South. The Negro voter today therefore has in mind the tremendous power of emancipation the Democratic party from its enslavement to the reactionary South. The Negro voter can deliver New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to the Democrats with ease, and can make their triumph possible in a dozen other states. Do the Democrats want this aid? They do. Two more states have in the North. There is not a single Northern state where the Democratic party has not offered every inducement to attract Negro voters. There is not a single Northern state where the Democrats have been in power, which has not treated Negroes better and has not treated Negroes better than it slapped. Tillman's impudent face in Chicago but a Democratic mayor? What Republican governor has approached the Democratic Johnson of Minnesota in consideration for this race? When were Negroes better treated than by President Cleveland? What more do you ask, Mr. Black Voter? Do you expect the Democratic party to alienate the Solid South before it has any assurance of what you may do? Do you think it is a matter of pride to a decent, honest Northern Democrat to realize that only by condoning lies on Southern statute books can he get a chance to put liberal principles into practice? Do you imagine that he would not welcome the votes of honest men of any color in exchange for the dishonest votes that thrall him? Why then do he not openly ask, sue and beg your vote? Because he doubts if you have sense enough to know your own good when you see it? How then? Do you vote for Bryan? Talk Number Five THEIS: That the best thing that can happen in the next election will be a big black Bryan vote. In November one of four things may happen: 1. Taft may win and receive the usual Negro vote. 2. Taft may win and receive only a part of the Negro vote. 3. Bryan may win by means of a part of the Negro vote. 4. Bryan may win without the aid of Negro votes. Other possibilities, are impossible. Without a large part of the Negro vote, Taft cannot possibly win and no third party has any chance. Look at these results from the point of view of the Negro: 1. If Taft gets the solid Negro vote as a win, what happens? The Negro has been brutally tricked; he has bitterly and then submissively tucking his tail between his legs has obey- INVITATION THE SUCCESSFUL PY FIVE CENTS. FT'S VICTIMS W.A. ROGERS ed his Master's voice. How much better off is he then than now? 2. But thanks be to God, Taft never can get the solid Negro vote. If however Taft holds enough Negro votes to insure his election, what then? Something will have been accomplished, but not much. If the warning is heavy, the Negro votes heavy, the Republicans will sense enough to be careful in the future. They certainly will not repeat Brownville. But the warning must be unmistakable. 3. If Bryan wins, and wins by the aid of Negro votes, what then? The Democratic party comes into power and knows that it can stay in power it placates Negroes. The Republicanism go out of power knowing that their outrageous treatment of Blacks caused their political downfall. Thereupon both parties will strive to deserve Negro votes, and this will be the beginning of Negro Freedom in this land. 4. But if the Democratic party triumphs without the aid of Negro votes; if neither Roosevelt, and Brownsville, Taft, or Clinton, will the Blacks crawls to his kennel rattling the same old chains while Democrats know they are under no obligations to the Negro vote—then vae victis; the hold of the Solid South will be strengthened and then good-bye to the 15th, if not to the 13th amendment. You don't believe it? Wait and see. Or, if you have too much sense to wait—Vote for Bryan. W. E. B. DU BOIS. —Alexandria (Va.) Horizon. MR. SAMUEL R. SCOTTRON DEAD. Mr. Scottron, the inventor of the adjustable mirror, was one of the best known members of the race in the country. He was a most lovable gentleman, cultured and refined—our friend for many years. He was a Mason of high degree, an ex-member of the Brooklyn board of education, an excellent worker for the race particularly; secretary of the Committee for the Industrial Improvement of the Negro, and president of the Independent Afro-American league of Brooklyn. He was well-to-do, and for years was the only member of the race traveling out of any large city of this country and representing one of the biggest business houses in New York City. Mr. Scottron was more than 70 years of age. 2 One Year..... $1.50 Six Months..... 1 00 Three Months..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

Cleveland, Saturday, Oct. 31, 1908. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Our slogan — "Remember Browns ville!" Next Tuesday, vote as you please—for whom you please, or don't vote at all; only preserve your self-respect, manhood and race-respect, and DON'T VOTE FOR TAFT! A battle for a principle is never lost, regardless of results. Remember that. We are fighting for ALL of our rights, as practical and not the theoretical American citizens. From the Lakes to the Gulf, and from ocean to ocean, Afro-Americans should repeat our slogan, as a prayer, from now until the polls close on Tuesday. "Remember Brownsville and Foraker!" Any man who would sacrifice even a part of one right to the prejudice or prejudices of any section of this or any other country, is an exceedingly dangerous enemy of the race, as president of the U. S. He is very hurtful to the race even when so prominent a citizen as is Mr. "Disfranchisement," "Jim Crow Car" Taft. In an open letter to Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, some months ago, President Roosevelt boasted of the fact that he had "appointed fewer Negroes to work than any other Republican president" and indeed, fewer than the lone Democratic president since the war of the Rebellion. Cut out of this paper Gen. Butler's speech on the black soldiers of the war of the rebellion and our portrait of the "discharged without honor" member of "The Black Battalion," and show them to everybody you meet. Some of the members of the latter were at El Caney, Cuba, and helped to save Roosevelt's and his "Rough Riders" lives that memorable day. How very different from brave, bluff and aggressive old Gen. Benj. F. Butler, a Democrat and a veteran of the War of the Rebellion; later governor of Massachusetts and one of the greatest constitutional lawyers, statesmen and humanitarians this country ever knew, is President Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt, who asks us (in valm) to vote for Mr. "Disfranchisement, Jim Crow Advocate" Taft? If you want to know, read elsewhere in this paper what the old general said in congress many years before his death, and lived up to all his life; then think of "Brownsville" and Roosevelt's many gratitudous insults to the race in connection therewith. We wish particularly to call the attention of our readers to an editorial in the Outlook (Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott's journal) for November, page 360, on "Taft and the Amendments." The Outlook is a Roosevelt administration mouthpiece, and the editorial in question assures the prejudiced white south that Taft as president will not interfere with the present miserable conditions, from a race view-point, existing in the south. This is a matter of so very great importance to our people that we trust all who read this will urge every member of the race with whom they come in contact between now and election day, to read the Outlook editorial we call attention to. If anything more is needed to convince the average Afro-American voter that he cannot vote for Taft without injuring the race for years to come, as we have indicated repeatedly elsewhere in this paper, it is this Outlook editorial. For twenty-five years and more The Gazette has been a Republican race newspaper and advocate, and it expects to continue such as long as the present editor owns and publishes it. We were, however, born in the Garrison, Phillips, Summer, Douglass, Tourgee and Foraker kind of Republicanism, and not in this latter day renegade, "illy-white" Roosevelt-Taft so-called Republicanism. We have ever and shall continue to subscribe to the principles of the grand old party that made it great, powerful, the marvel of continents, and respected the world over, until "Czar" Roosevelt making of it a football to be kicked all over the South and dalled with in the North, at his "Kingship's" will and pleasure. If ever a president has prostituted the power of his office and wallowed it in the rotten mire of the political gutter, his name is Theodore Roosevelt. Don't vote for his political "Friday." Wm. H. Tatt! There is absolutely no foundation in fact and truth for the silly statement being made by Republican campaign speakers, black and white, that the supreme court will or even can declare unconstitutional any portion of the United States constitution, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1908. OUR LAST APPEAL! Over and over again, have we shown our readers, during this campaign, why Taft's defeat on Tuesday means the rehabilitation of the Afro-American as a potent factor of the Republican party, and means the very life and future prosperity of the latter, as well as the former. This is THE crucial period for both the party and the race, and will determine their future beyond all question or doubt. It is a serious, a very serious matter—voting on Tuesday next; one that has far more than mere personal significance. You are either going to injure or help the race. If you refrain from voting, or cast your ballot for Chaffin or Debs, Prohibition or Socialist candidates for president, you will help, regardless of what anyone says to you. It will be the "half loaf" which is always better than none at all. We have never asked our readers during this campaign to vote for any particular candidate, for reasons obvious. If they see fit to vote for Bryan and make their vote count TWO against Taft, that is their business and right. All we ask is that every manly Afro-American voter have too much self and race respect, and interest in the future progress of the Republican party and his people, to vote for a man (Taft), who openly indorses disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" cars for our people in the south; indorses his own and Roosevelt's outrageous treatment of "The Black Battalion," and who is doing all he can to kill, politically, our great and good FRIEND and champion, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, to please President "Brownsville" Roosevelt, whose agent and candidate he is. These two men secured the indorsement of "illy-whiteism" in the recent Chicago national Republican convention and by the national Republican committee in session in the same city, the week preceding that of the convention, and have as objectly "grounded arms" to the prejudiced white south as it is possible for an intelligent and truckling politician. More could be said, but it is unnecessary because we believe, not only our MEN understand the situation, but even our women and children of tender years. If "PRINCIPLE" ever actuated our people in the north to act, to strike for continued liberty and an enlargement of the same in the south where it is so sadly and alarmingly restricted, this is the time and next Tuesday is the day. BE MEN1, and political slaves no longer. DO NOT VOTE FOR TAFT! which of course includes the fourteenth and fifteenth and all of the amendments to the same. Such is the rot that is being used to scare our people to the support of Mr. "Disfranchisement Jim Crow Car" Taft. Equally as silly is the rot that Bryan as president would appoint four Democrats, southern or northern, and that they would do something dreadful to Afro-Americans. Four is not half the number of members on the United States supreme court bench and the next president, whether Taft or Bryan, will not have the appointment of that number of members of the court, and the individuals making the purposely misleading statements know it, too. Do not pay any attention to such stuff. DOWN ON TAFT. A Club of 200 Afro-American Voters Organized to Oppose Roosevelt's "Human Phonograph." Lorain, O.-At an informal gathering Monday evening our voters formed a Democratic club. The charter roll consists of 184 names. Their application for membership with the American Legion of Democratic Voters was received and favorably acted on by the executive committee which will be called as Legion No. 3. They have opened head quarters at 1518 Penfield avenue, where they have the entire first floor of the building, making one of the prettiest and best equipped political headquarters in the city. W. A. Gibson was elected president, W. C. Lewis, secretary, and Mr. Smith, organizer. Those officers, while only temporary, have been appointed to the complete organization of its staff of officers. In becoming affiliated with the American Legion of Democratic Voters, the club is particularly fortunate, as the legion has a branch known as the diplomatic corps and while in the past there has been a great many of our voters that felt they would like to think and vote to suit themselves, they have not done so. The organization has deferred them. In this branch of the legion the names of the members are never made public and they only report to the executive board at the general office, as it opens a field where the intelligent Afro-American may express his opinion and not be persecuted. In this corps now there has been an enrollment of 1,000 people in the race in the county. It is to predict that the effects of this organization will be felt all through the county and state. Hon. H. C. Smith, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Harry:—Enclosed please find my check for $1.50 to renew my subscription for The Gazette. The great book title is now or in hand, and you are conspicuous on the firing line. I congratulate you on your continued and consistent opposition to the election of Mr. Taft. With best wishes I am.

NEGRO SOLIDERS—THEIR RIGHTS Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, in the Na- tional House of Representatives, on the Charge of His Negro Troops at Harrison, Va. in 1844. "Mr. Speaker, and Fellow Members of the House: "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 as I rode along them guiding my horse this way and that way lest he should profane with his hoof what seemed to me the sacred dead, and as I looked on their bronzen faces upturned in the shining sun to heaven, as if in mute appeal against the wrongs of the country for which they had given their lives, and whose flag had only been to them a flag of gold, and ever shown of glory 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 fail to defend the rights of these men who were 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 under this government, I am with them against all comers." ADVOCATES INTERMARRIAGE! A Great and Learned Professor "Seconds" Chatham's Creamutt's "Mission" Kansas City, Mo.—Prof. Charles Zueblin, formerly of the University of Chicago, in lecturing at Central high school on "Fraternity," strongly denounced treatment accorded Afro-Americans by the "so-called Anglo-Saxon race, whatever that is." He argued for intermarriage of the races. It was the professor's body that this, he said, "should take care of each person should give what he can to his fellows and take all he can from them in return. "The wise man knows no boundary line of convention or prejudice," he said. "It is like standing on the top of a great, high mountain. All around him one can see the hundreds of people, pygmies, but he can tell no difference in their color, their size, their social standing. It takes what he can from them as a whole and as individuals, and so again broadens his own life." Prof. Zueblin declared that enlightenment of the world would not reach its highest stages until the whites, blacks, redmen, yellow men, and brown men had all swept away the bonds of racial prejudice and become accustomed on the same scale with each other. One of these things necessary to this great advancement, he said, is the intermarriage of the races.

A lynch murder or two have occurred in the state of Tennessee this week, the governor has ordered out several companies of militia, the national guards are held in reserve for the occasion, should the mob offer any resistance, and besides a very handsome reward has been offered for the inmals—$100,000 and conviction of the like getting proud of such moral indignation, such outbursts of energy, the cause of law and order, which must be preserved in the interest of a republican form of government with the greatest niceness, if it is to endure. But, alas! The bitter drop falls into our cup of cheer, if we conceive such muckers are not a rare occurrence in our state, of Tennessee either, where only lately a prisoner in the hands of the great United States was taken out of jail and lynched—burned alive by the mob—but that man was only a Negro—and so little, if anything, came of it at all! And men are lynched every week somewhere in our country and "not a cause of use a German expression. This strange bubble, this having "two kinds of measure," which as the great Hebrew servant of God in the Old Testament claims, calls forth God's wrath upon the nation using it, is accounted for in our "square deal" country, by the damnable race prejudice, that calls forth such exertions as that in Tenebrae, where the inmals are they so as "prominent" also), whilst human life is dirt cheap, if the murdered human is black! JACOB EGBERTH (white). A GREAT MASS MEETING. Lima, O.-Lack of space and time only, prevent our giving the proper notice this week to the great mass meeting in the assembly room of the court house on Monday evening, which was so eloquently addressed by the editor of The Gazette. About 300 people were packed into the room and hall, windows and every conceivable space, to attend the meeting, unable to be in. Mr. Moses Ramble presided and introduced the speaker. For nearly two hours, round after round of applause could be heard a block away, and at the conclusion of the speech all pressed forward to shake Mr. Smith's hands. The success of the meeting was due to the energetic efforts of Messrs. Geo. Moss, chairman, Geo. Cunningham, Wm. Foy, J.D. Morin, M. Redman, Henry Edwards, and others, whom were able assisted by our local anti-Taft organization of 140 members. There were about two dozen ladies in the audience. Olean, N. Y., News.

Young, the only Afro-American captain in the United States army, an Ohio boy, arrived in the islands on a very good day, and very good after a trip of over 8,000 miles of the deep blue sea. The captain took command of his troop upon his arrival at Camp McGrath and also is squadron commander in the absence of a squadron major. We were all very proud to greet the captain as we haven't seen him since we left it. We are all military training than any other officer in the Ninth cavalry and he is not backward in showing it, from the way he handles the squadron on drill. He is also summary court officer, as he ranks all the other captains in the regiment. Even Our Women Opposed to Taft. New York City.—The Negro Independent Republican League, with headquarters at Eighth avenue and Forty-sixth street, has issued a circular announcing that it intends to support the Democratic national and state tickets, and that it will hold three meetings a week, and Lieut-Gov. Chanler will address one of them. "Efforts of the men will be seconded by a woman's auxiliary," says the circular.

REBUKED BY NEGRO EDITORS RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED URGING MEMBERS OF THE RACE TO DEFEAT NOMINEE TAFT. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is Strongly Endorsed for His Grand Work in the Brownville Matter—Held the Meeting Just the Same. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Eastern and Inter-State Negro Press association, in convention in the John Wesley Methodist church last week Thursday denounced the treatment Afro-Americans have received from the Republican party. "We have watched the political trend of the country," they declared, "and it has proven that they have been tools in the hands of traducers and we are not unmindful of the treatment of the present administration. "We have stood by the Republican party and turned defeat into victory, yet-to-day are maligned by them as unfit for a debased people." The convention passed the following resolution: "Whereas, William H. Tatt, former secretary of war, has been nominated for president of the United States on the Republican ticket by 'steam-roller' process, a candidate of President Roosevelt and not of the people, and heralded as the most eligible candidate for the position, and "Whereas, William H. Tatt, in his speeches at Greensboro, N. C., and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the deplorable discriminations against our people, the violation of our constitutional in the matter of disfranchisement of citizens, made so by 'illy-white' Republicans. Rank Discrimination Against Soldiers "Whereas, William H. Taft, after the disarmament with honor of 187 soldiers as a result of the alleged Brownsville riot, publicly stained them as guilty without trial; and the machinery of the military department has not been able to prove them guilty or warrant their unmerited punishment, and "Whereas, the present administration has thought it unwise to blot out the future of young white soldiers dismissal without honor for similar crimes on two recent occasions, though the white soldiers were given trial and found guilty, therefore, be it "Resolved, that we, as loyal American citizens, voice our protest against William H. Taft's election as president, for his speeches condemning violence. Not withstanding the speeches in Republican platforms of 1945 and 1908, that favor enforcing the amendments to the federal constitution, nothing has been done to carry out those planks; which indicates a lack of Republican principles, courage and commitment without honor of the 187 soldiers, many of whom have spent the better part of their lives in the defense of their country. It shows akness and prejudice instead of impartiality, conservatism and justice, and it shows that the individual who holds the highest office in the gift of the nation. We are against him for the mud-slinging efforts to down Senator Foraker for being on our side. Furthermore, be it To Support Senator Foraker. "Resolved, That we call upon the Negro voters of Ohio to first support Joseph Benson Poraker, our champion, the United States senate and ever afterward to any position to which he may aspira. And we call upon the Negro voters of the country, who have a spark of manhood left, to show their disapproval of the present incumbent of the White House, who will be virtuous and will be a man of honor. Taft is elected; and to William H. Taft for his unprincipled character, which we believe will be detrimental to our people if given an opportunity, by working ardently for the defeat of Mr. Taft on the third of next month. We warn all Republicans, who now or hereafter seek office and who support William H. Taft for the presidency, that they are jeopardizing the good will and future support of the loyal voters of our race." The resolution was signed by the following: G. W. Wright of New York, chairman; S. F. Surr, Newport市; H. Browell, Georgetown; C. J. Walker, Pittsburg; J. E. Perkinson, Butler. COMMENDS OUR COURSE. "The Gazette" Has Always Led Wise ly and Well, for the Good of the Race, He Says. Marysville, O., Oct. 20, 1908. Editor Gatzene—Dear Sir: I heartly command you upon the stand that you have taken in this political crisis, the people as a race apreciate the choice of style they must be some that do not fully appreciate your efforts, the majority do and they know that it is not only at the present time that you have wielded your power and influence with a zeal in the struggle against the oppressive portorty when humanity reason and justice were at stake. We look to you as our leader and with the co-operation of the race may right be restored. Surely this is an awful situation and we must coolly and seriously act upon the same and not submit these most vexatious injustices to the publicist act of not voting for Taft we only course. The colored man would have no interest contrary to the glory of the Republican party so long as they are not oppressed by the party. We are not represented at much as usual. For instance, our penal and other laws, kept up by taxation, we are very seldom represented by persons holding responsible positions. We now have the right to render our people miserable and discontented, or happy, and it is to our interest to do the latter by voting against Taft and to make aake. Let us with a unity of spirit and zeal promote the happiness and privileges of the race by acting wisely in November. Respectfully. JOHN GLENN. The only temple in the world whose walls, floor and roof are of one single piece, was opened at Chicago Sunday. SENATOR JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER On Roosevelt, Taft and "Brownsville"—Do Not Vote for Taft. 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 (irriataing) a sore when he should have brought a plaster? Does he imagine, or can anybody suppose that the Republican colored voters of this country can 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"? 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 make a self-respecting Negro vote against Judge Taft. If in making this defense, * * * * I shall always feel that those who have no consideration for me, my family or good name, but would gloatingly rejoice if they could accomplish the shame and humiliation they have attempted are not entitled to any consideration at my hands and that my duty to the party should be subordinated to duty to my family and the good name I have striven to make that I may leave it to them as their heritage, more priceless in their estimation than anything else within my power to give them. Kennedy, Cline, Hirstius and Eubanks Exposed — A Splendid Joint Meeting. Afro-Americans of Cleveland are alive to their interests in the present campaign and are certainly doing a great deal of thinking these days. The following is excellent evidence of that fact. The Colored Men's league and the Douglass club met in joint session on Tuesday evening, October 20, in Woodliff hall and had an extremely interesting session. The attendance was large and the audience extremely enthusiastic. After considerable spirited discussion the organization took the most advanced stand of a politic nature even when by two such clubs the history of the people of Cleveland when they almost unanimously adopted the following resolutions: We, members of the Colored Men's Republican League club and the Frederick A. Douglass Republican club, in joint meeting assembled, believing that we are making the sentiments of our people of the city of Cleveland, do resolve: First—That the principles upon which the Republican party is founded are the only correct principles which should govern the conduct of the American citizen in politics. The Republican principles as evinced in the doctrines expounded by Lincoln, Garfield, Fredrick Douglass and Senator Foraker, can the American Negro hope to rise to the dignity of full citizenship. Third—That while we indorse Republican principles, we do so with the full knowledge and belief THAT PUBLICAN TICKET ARE NOT IN HARMONY WITH THOSE FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be placed upon the records of both clubs and a copy furnished the daily papers and The Gazette. Committee of the Bam, C. E Stewart, Edward Dewey, J. P Wootson Chas S. Sutton Sec. Then followed addresses by Candidate Gus Hirstius, who vainly tried to explain his inexcusable failure and refusal to extend old Sked street through to Cedar avenue; by Messrs. Beason, Jackson, "Dode" Green, "Cass" Sellers, Candidate Henry T. Eubanks, who admitted that he was pledged to vote for Congressman for United States against our great and good friend Senator Foraker, if elected to the legislature, and others The speech of the evening, however, was one by the editor of The Gazette that lasted for more than an hour and not only roused the large audience to the greatest enthusiasm but secured an indorsement seldom witnessed anywhere. Point after point, along distranchissement, "Jim Crow" car, Brownsville and antllychning lines. But when he summed up and showed Taft's emity to the race in his indorsement of all these except mob violence, the climax was reached and the audience that had almost unanimously indorsed the race pride and greed all over this article, thundered its applause, long and loudly, showing beyond all question or doubt the true, heartfelt feeling of not only those present but of our people generally. He then showed how and why Afro-Americans with manhood, self respect, race pride and greed all over this article, and Cline's statement in common pleas court when the Garland civil rights case was pending that "no Negro ought to expect to sit at a table in a public dining room and eat with a white man if the latter did not want him to"; and Hirstus' failure from last summer until the fall of 2011, when he tried to even try to have old Sked street cut through to Cedar avenue, after welling back down, after welling effort because a few poor whites living on Cedar avenue objected on the ground that "niggers would be coming through the street and peeping will be coming through the street and peeping in the cars of all that left Woodliff on Tuesday evening, October 20, so tellingly had the editor of The Gazette forced home to the minds and hearts of his audience information and facts galore but hinted and referred to in this account of a really remarkable meeting. It has been a more or less popular topic of conversation ever since and the day of election in November, Dr. A. Howard made an excellent presiding officer and was easily assisted by Messrs. W. E. Caldwell and Mitchell Bam, presidents of the club and league. The fire in the Hazel mine of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Co. near Cannonsburg, Pa., which was thought to be under control broke out afresh Monday and is now said to be gaining on the fire fighters. The blaze covers an area of about 300 yards. "Strike Hard When You Strike and Hit the Nail on the Head"—A Woman's Appeal. Bonneville, Ore., Oct. 19, 1908. Editor Gazette—Dear Shr: You "hit the nail on the head" in your last issue that urged the advisability of giving the Bible to the public. A good lesson, while about it. One complete lesson is worth a dozen half ones. Strike hard when you do strike, and many a long year will pass e'er you have to do it again. If you only skip the lesson, you will knock him down and he will behave. As sure as there is a God in heaven, if you defeat Taf, and Hughes and Longworth and every other man, great or small, who has alder or sympathy with Roosevelt this year you will have it to do again for a generation. I see Senator Bradley of Kentucky says you should not blame the party for Taft's part in the Brownsville injustice. What folly! They made themselves "participes criminis" when they nominated him over the protests of the colored people and every other true Republican. They never done anything for the Negro. Well, in '84, when the Irish revolted from the Democrats, they said the Republicans never did anything for the Irish. The Irish voted the Republican ticket just the same and today both parties court the Irish. The Democrats cannot treat you any worse than Roosevelt and his man "Friday" have done. You are not becoming Democrats. You are only cleansing the Republican party from the biggest cop, the Republican, the cowardly, domineering, demagogues and boshes any party was ever cursed with. a crowded street sometimes a sneak-thief escapes by crying thief, and appearing to chase another man, who is entirely innocent. And when one man or a few men begin to abuse the most of the American people, I imagine their own hands are not clean. Don't be blarneyed or frightened. Prove your manhood now, and defeat every man, great or small, who has joined you with your enemies. So shall the "Grand Old Party" be brought back to the first principles and in 1912 a man whom we can honor, love and admire, lead its cohorts to a deserved victory. MRS. PATRICIA BOISER. A. J. Hirstie. When you vote on election day in November do not forget to cross Gus. Hirstius' name from your ticket. As councilman from the Twelfth ward, he not only continues to refuse to cut a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and wooden street, but also prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so because colored people would come through the street from Cedar avenue and peep in their windows. Hirstius even withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council about a year ago to cut the proper city authorities to cut the street through, at the request of the above ordinance, prejudiced Cedar avenue residents fall when he was re-elected to the council, Hirstius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but up to date has steadily re-used to keep his promise. Remember him and scratch his name from his ticket, you vote on election day in November. Hirstius is the Republican candidate for sheriff. Defeat him! "Are We Men Mentally?" If the Negro is a man mentally, if he possesses any manhood, if he has any self-respect and race-pride, if he even intends to demonstrate to the country and world that he is capable of comprehending an insult and resenting an indignity, this is the most opportune time offered him since his first encounter. Am I a Republican? Yes but a Negro first. With them I stand and fall. The president has branded ten millions of Negroes in this country as murderer, outlaw and criminals. Has the Negro ancient mental ability and manhood to resent it at the polls on November 33. (REV.) H. C.

Editor Gazette — My Dead Warrior: As you will remember in ancient myths, the hero of Virgil visited the abode of earth's departed people and met his father who wanted to know, "Was the old guard still fighting, still contending?" I know that Battler Harry C. Smith is still fighting without questioning. If we are fit to exist we will forge, and we will survive." The day we lose a concept for principle as weighed with political power, is a day for me of "fast, humiliation and prayer." I cannot rejoice and shout in gladness when I see "race" wn over "right," people triumph over principle and the miserable Negro forced to sign another lease in the land of his beneficiency" and his honor, citizenship and his assaulted virtue the menial victim of "party success." If the press, pulpit and people cannot safeguard themselves, do they deserve liberty? It costs something to be free. Let a black man or woman or child dare to aspire to the realm of higher Self and the domain of higher Self." "mien." Let us stay in the arena; the burning sand, the roar of hungry beasts and the muttering populace will prove us men or mice. No hand-licking for me and to the appressor, I cry: "strike but listen." If any people are true to themselves they will win a corresponding victory. We are struggling to get at the heart of hearts. We must continue to find God in immutable truth; or intend to find God in absence of race, color or previous conditions. And we will build only upon enduring principles which permeate all arts, sciences and wisdom of mortals. We shell ask for no miracles. If we do not plant and plow we can not grumble or starvation. If we do not labor, unite and ceasingly contend, we are not fit to live in this glorious day of evolution. We have already, too, begun to appeal to that God of Nature whose parliament and courts have never handed down a Dred Scott decision nor given forth a "Jim Crow" verdict. Let us never rather "citizens of the world" emulate our head, hand and heart. While our first duty is to self and home, and we our first motes of the community the monks of the nation. If we are bound to possess paradise and mean to rejoin our Creation, we must be the man and all other men can prevent in office law, using a nightmare. Whichever way we look, the Tillamac spectre of race prejudice. It is no longer the bad Negro to be feared; the good Negro creates the riot. He who is enlightened, gentlemanly and democratic, believes in "good men" instead of "race men" and "good women" instead of "our own" dream. And we will win; many of our own people are hindrances, which the Silent Reaper when he cuts me down, thanks to impartial Heaven, will mow them also. I heard a Negro say "Brownsville was O. K. We got no business with soldiers anyway. God will give us the man and the woman. Some of them deserve no manhood rights; glory in no pure womanhood and concede all good things to usurpers. WON'T VOTE FOR TAFT! Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 27, 1908. Editor Gazette—Dear Friend: We are still fighting, and victory seems to be ours. Our voters are thoroughly aroused and realize the fact that a vote for Taft is a vote to condemn that great statesman, Senator Foraker. This condition has been made by the czar rule of the president and the determination of Taft to eliminate Senator Foraker from public life because he had the manhood to do that which no other member of congress had the courage to do, viz., to demand a fair trial for "The Black Battalion" in opposition to the "great" Roosevelt. In opposition to the "great" Roosevelt of the party and the retirement of Roosevelt, Taft et al., would be insignificant to the defeat and elimination of Senator Foraker. As a rebuke to Roosevelt and "Me Too" Taft, our voters here are going to vote for Bryan. I sincerely trust that our brethren in Cleveland and the entire state of Ohio, will also assert their manhood this time and present great and miserable insults to the race so frequently used by Taft, and vote in a way to sustain the gallant Senator Foraker. I predict a landslide for Bryan. Yours for the race. W. FORREST COZART. Attachment Notice.

There is a humorous story of Mark Twain's "absent-mindedness," but it doesn't match the following: The Professor (at the dinner table) —Oh, by the way, Mrs. Chopsticks, have you seen your little boy, Willie, lately? Mrs. Chopsticks—No, professor, I have not seen him since ten o'clock, and I can't imagine what has become of him. In fact, I am very much worried about him. Professor—Well, seeing Martha pour me out that glass of water just now reminds me of something that I had on my mind to tell you some time ago, but which unfortunately escaped my memory. It was just about ten o'clock, I think, that I saw little Willie fall down the well. What the Rod Was For Mose Fowler was observed by his pastor with a long fishing rod in his hand. "My goodness, Mose Fowler!" exclaimed the minister, "is yo' goin' fishin' at yo' age?" "No, I ain't goin' fishin', suh," protested Fowler. "I know it ain't seemly, suh, but yo' sermon las' Sunday on sparin' de rod made sich an impression on me, suh, dat I done borris det stam' mah whole thienchen chilien in a row, suh, an' jes make one good job out it, so' they won't spil; an' den I kn return de rod wif a cl'ar conscience, suh." ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR Old Lady Got Well with Change of Food. A great scientist has said we can put off "old age" if we can only nourish the body properly. To do this the right kind of food, of course, is necessary. The body manufactures poisons in the stomach and intestines from certain kinds of food stuff and unless sufficient of the right kind is used, the injurious elements overcome the good. "My grandmother, 71 years old," writes a N. Y. lady, "had been an invalid for 18 years from what was called consumption of the stomach and bowels. The doctor had given her up to die. "I saw so much about Grape-Nuts that I persuaded Grandmother to try it. She could not keep anything on her stomach for more than a few minutes. "She began Grape-Nuts with only a teaspoonful. As that did not distress her and as she could retain it, she took a little more until she could take all of 4 teaspoonfuls at a meal. "Then she began to gain and grow strong and her trouble in the stomach was gone entirely. She got to enjoy good health for one so old and we know Grape-Nuts saved her life. "The doctor was astonished that instead of dying she got well, and without a drop of medicine after she began the Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1908. CLIMAX OF THE CAMPAIGN CLIMAX OF THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK CITY IS REACHED IN A HUGE MASS MEETING. Taft and Hughes Speak from the Same Platform in Madison Square Garden. New York City.—The Republican campaign in New York City reached its climax Wednesday night when William H. Taft, presidential candidate, and Charles E. Hughes, candidate for governor, spoke from the same platform at Madison Square Garden to an audience that filled the enormous amphitheatre. Their appearance at Madison Square Garden came at the end of a day which from a political viewpoint was most remarkable. During the day Mr. Taft spoke at 14 meetings and Gov. Hughes spoke 15 times. While the Madison Square meeting was in progress a giant parade was wending its way in a downpour of rain down through the heart of the city. Hours before the doors of the garden were thrown open long lines of ticket holders had formed. There is no other structure in New York which can hold such a big audience as Madison Square Garden, but it soon became apparent to the police that it would not have space enough for the hundreds gathered outside. At 7 o'clock a heavy rain set in, and it was thought the crowd would dwindle, but this was a mistake. The streets for blocks around were alive with umbrellas and few persons deserved the waiting throng. Excellent police arrangements prevented any unseemly crowding when the doors were opened shortly after the rain began to fall. By 8 o'clock the police had to bar all except reserved seat ticket holders. The galleries in the garden were girdled with American flags, the dome was hidden by a mammoth American flag and over the main entrance hung a banner with portraits of Taft and Sheenham it and in the center "Yale '78" Judge Taft having been a graduate in that year. A band of 100 pieces kept the crowd from becoming impatient during the hour or more that elapsed before Gen. Horace E. Porter, who presided, called the meeting to order. The meeting was remarkable in more ways than one. At every mention of the name of Gov. Hughes the hall resounded with cheering and when he entered the hall the crowd, which filled every available space in the auditorium, cheered him for 16 minutes without stopping. The governor made a characteristic address, which was received enthusiastically. But it remained for Mr. Taft to inspire the greatest demonstration. For 10 minutes Madison Square Garden trembled from the stamping of thousands of feet and the roar of voices. Mr. Taft tried to quell the racket, but was powerless to do so. When the noise ceased Mr. Taft began his address. His voice was hoarse, but the crowd was satisfied merely to look at him, and his every word was cheered. HIS SECOND CONVICTION Cashier of the Allegheny National Bank Is Again Found Guilty of Embezzlement. Pittsburg, Pa. — William Montgomery, cashier of the Allegheny National bank until the discovery of a shortage in its funds of over $1,250,000 early last summer necessitated closing the institution, was on Wednesday for the second time this week, found guilty of embezzlement and abstraction of funds, his peculiatum in the two cases amounting to $613,000. The case concluded Wednesday involved the abstraction of $144,000 worth of the bank's bonds, and as in the first case Montgomery offered no testimony in defense. Several directors of the bank testified that Montgomery had never given authority to deliver the bonds in question or use them as collateral, but one of them, James W. Brown, admitted that Montgomery was virtually the bank, because he had practically unrestricted power in conducting its business. A stenographer read as evidence her notes on an alleged confession by Montgomery. The jury was out less than two hours. Montgomery was also jointly indicted with Addison S. Altaffer, discount clerk, the latter being accused of aiding the cashier in abstracting the bank's funds, and hearing of this case will probably begin next week. Two indictments for forgery against Montgomery are pending in county courts. Every effort has been made by the prosecution and bank's directors to learn from Montgomery what became of the money abstracted, or who besides himself received the money, but the cashier has steadfastly refused to involve others and it is generally believed that it was to prevent the possibility of others being dragged into the case that no defense was offered in the two cases. Temperance Women Oppose Cannon. Killed His Son Russellville, Ala.—James Thorn, a farmer, while attempting to run a mule out of the yard, picked up a stone and threw it at the animal. He missed the mule and hit his 2-year-old son, killing him instantly. Pierce Will Stand Trial Austin, Texas.—Henry Clay Pierce, the oil magnate, is coming back to Texas to answer the indictment returned against him in this county charging him with false swearing. Gov. Campbell is advised by Judge Barclay of St. Louis that Pierce will be here November 9 to stand trial. Forty Indians Killed in Battle. El Paso, Texas.—A battle between Papago and Yaqui Indians has taken place north of Altar, Sonora, Mexico, and Yaguis were killed. VOTE FOR SALEN. On Tuesday when you go to vote, do not forget the fact that Mr. Charles P. Salen, our popular county clerk, who is seeking re-election, employed more members of the race when director of public works than any other occupant (Republican or Democrat) of the office, prior to that time. Show your appreciation of this and the many other good things Mr. Salen has done for our people during his long public career. JUDGE GIBBS AGAINST TAFT. And His Son Indorses His Father's Stand — The Judge on Brvan. Lorain, O.—That our vote of the south as well as the north is far from being solid for Taft is evidenced from the statements made by prominent members of the race in all sections of the country. Recently Judge M. W. Gibbs, one of our most prominent in the state, has been a Republican conventions, register of the land office under President Hayes and Harrison, consul to Madagascar under President McKinley, came forth with the statement that he would refuse to support Taft. Horace E. Gibbs, a son of the noted lawyer and the former president, holds his father in the stand that he has taken and says that he cannot swallow the Taft pill. Judge Gibbs gives as his reasons for not supporting Taft that the secretary was unfair in his charges against the race in the Brownville matter. In a public statement, he was ascribed as a supporter of Judge Taft for the presidency. Senator Foraker was my choice, and I regret that he is not a candidate. William J. Bryan is a good man, and sometimes I think I will shut one eye and vote for him. Four years hence, should he be cancled, candidate fully represent the Republican principles, I will gladly vote for him. The son comments upon the father's public letter as follows: "Taff's speech in the south giving recognition to 'be-whistam' among southern franciscan men, and the franchisement and representing the policy of the administration in the dishonorable discharge of those noble boys in blue who be their bravery at El Caney made it possible for even the existence of a Roosevelt, convict, and prisoner, to them midnight assassins and outlaws, will get him no votes. I am a Republican but can't swallow the Taft pill, it won't go down. The Bryan pill will go down with great effort. But after it is once down I shall feel like a man who has been locked back by I gain nothing by so doing, but simply retained my manhood." Pittsburg, Pa., Personals Mrs. Mary E.

Erb, by her sister, Mrs. Catherine Beisel, several weeks ago, Monday secured a writ of habeas corpus in an effort to obtain the release of the accused widow. The writ commanded the immediate bringing of Mrs. Erb into court, but because Judges Johnson and Bromaw were engaged the attorneys agreed to have the hearing in the case on Saturday.

The pattern is in seven sizes—32 to 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the corset cover, as in front view, requires one yard of material 36 or more inches wide, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard of bending, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard of ribbon, $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards of insertion and $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards of edging; or of flouncing, it needs two yards 17 inches wide.

GIRL'S AND CHILD'S DRESS. 1 Paris Pattern No. 2581, All Seams Allowed.—A pretty little frock for a small girl which is equally appropriate for her older sister, is here illustrated. It is developed in fawn-colored mohair, with feather-stitching of bright red silk. A box-plait down the center-front and center-back and a wide tuck over each shoulder give the required fullness, and the short, full skirt is gathered and attached to the waist under a narrow belt of the material. The belt, cuffs and collar are feather-stitched to match the box-plats, and a pretty finish would be to feather-stitch the hem. If desired, a soutache braid may be used instead of the feather-stitching. The pattern is in six sizes—two to twelve years. For a child of six years the dress requires $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 27 inches wide; $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 36 inches wide; or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 42 inches wide; $8\frac{1}{2}$ yards of soutache braid. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern. Prefer Money to Husbands There are 1,700 women in Nottinghamshire alone who would rather have money than husbands. The fact does not strike terror to the male English mind when it is remembered how greatly women outnumber men in some parts of England. The theory is advanced, however, that eligible husbands are so difficult to obtain that the proverb about the bird in the hand has sunk deep into the mind of the average Nottinghamshire lassie. When Wilkinson Smith, a rich lace manufacturer, died he left $1,250,000 to fond pensions to be given to widows and spinsters of the county on condition that the beneficiales undertake a vow of cellacy. The eligible list was oversubscribed more than ten times. Seventy of the pensions have been allotted, and the trustees will have some difficulty in disposing of others in view of the numerous applications.—New York Herald.

"Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. I doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Remedies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise. Mrs. William Geeding, 102 Washington St., Attica, Ind, July 22, 1907."

A tourist in an out-of-the-way region of England put up one night at an amiable old lady's cottage, the village fann being full. Now, the tourist was very deaf, which fact he took pains to impress upon the old lady, together with instructions to wake him at a particular hour in the morning. On waking a great deal later than the time appointed, he found that the amiable old lady, with a commendable regard for propriety, had slipped under his door a slip of paper on which was written: "Sir, it is half-aust eight!"—Harper's Weekly.
