One of the new trimmings is the use of black cloth cut in wide, bold designs, applied to colored cloth. This is quite effective for street suits and also for soft finished indoor gowns. Broadcloth is used for the embroidery. A pattern is first cut from paper, basted on cloth and then cut out with sharp, small, well-pointed scissors. There is no hem. The cloth is applied with a raw edge, but as this is done now with bands and folds and revers, it does not look inconsistent with neatness. The sewing of this embroidery to the foundation cloth is a work of art, and no matter how well it is done, a hot iron is needed for the finishing touch. Certain dressmakers paste on this embroidery. They find the effect smoother and the work less trouble. This kind of trimming has been particularly well carried out on a gown of white meteor crepe in which the cut-out embroidery is of pale violet cloth. This is used to stimulate a tunic on skirt and for bands across and around bodice. It is a daring method and must be well done if done at all. A CHIC LOUNGING ROBE. Made of fine dotted muslin over Jap silk, trimmed with insertion, lace and tucks; finished with soft satin ribbon. Lace Is Being Dyed. The revival of dyed lace is in full tide. All colors that have come out this autumn are employed. Irish lace, point appliqué, real filet, do not escape the dye pot. It is considered fashionable to only use lace that matches the gown, and, therefore, the dyers are reaping large rewards. When Stitching Taffeta. Not every dressmaker knows that the reason taffeta so often cuts in stitching is because the needle is blunted or rusted. It is much better to use one that is new and rather fine. This can be renewed several times if there is much stitching to be done. MAKES PRETTY COAT FOR GIRL. Golden Brown Satin the Material, with Novel Adornments. A charming coat for a small girl is fashioned from golden brown satin. The body is formed from straight side plats held in place by a low belt set well down. The sleeves are wide and full, taken into Vandyke lace cuffs. A collar to match is the finish to the neck. Other materials besides satin will be equally appropriate. Broadcloth and serge will, of course, be more practical. The directoire ruff and the girdle of that period, both developed from ribbon, will be used as accessories to the late summer toilers. Quite expensive if bought ready for wear, these charming trifles are not difficult to make at home, for the ribbons can be box-plaited on one edge and sewed down to a satin-covered strip to form the ruff. The girdle is fashioned from broad satin ribbon or stripes of blas satin made to go around the waist and cross in the back, the ends being knotted at left side front. Neck Ruffles Important. That neck ruffles are doing a great deal for womankind this season there is no denying. Those intended for outdoor wear are full and heavy, being made of many layers of tulle, with often as many colors—one over the other. The tall Pierrot ruffle is popular, as is also the double empire ruffle of soft silk. Then there are the so-called Marie Antoinette fuchs and neck ruffles, which are far from being the style originated for the French queen, and which bear only slight resemblance to those pictured in costume books of that period. But then the periods are hopelessly mixed in all present-day modes, and in the potpourri one sees much to admire. Hardly a new fashion is inaugurated that does not suggest styles stolen from half a dozen historical fashion plates, and in most cases fashion devotees are satisfied. Soft Silks Silk will be very much worn now. Not the kind of taffeta we used to wear. Nobody wants to rustle now; we do not want to look starched or to shine; we must look as wilted and clinging as possible. As the demand for silk is greater the weave will be improved. We find rich, heavy liberty satins and dull silks in the shops like those that were worn in our grandmother's days. Silk costs more now than it did, but it wears better. It is now a material for the street as well as for church and other occasions for simple dressing. An Alcohol Iron. A tiny alcohol iron for pressing small articles—handkerchiefs, collars and lamp and stand, that together are hardly larger than the palm of your hand. The iron is polished nickel and has a handle covered with straw, so that no holder is required. It is convenient to use when neither gas nor electricity is handy, the size and compactness of the whole thing makes it a most useful part of the traveling outfit.

Faithful Nergo Republicans of Mis soul are Given a Taste of the Roosevelt-Taft "Lilly-White" Medicine Administered at Chicago. Special to The Gazette. St. Louis, Mo.—Like at the Chicago national Republican convention last summer, when 2E regularly elected black and white Republicans (nearly all for Foraker) were robbed of their seats, in order to seat the same number of "illy-white" Taft "Republicans" and Democrats posing as Republicans, mostly federal office-holders, Afro-American of this city and state were recently given a taste of the Roosevelt-Johnson jollification held in the Coliseum last Saturday evening, to which 2,766 white Republicans were invited. It was the biggest political banquet ever held here. White women only were allowed to sit in the boxes and listen to the speeches, but were not allowed to attend the banquet. Every other class of Republicans and the state of New York were allowed to BUT OURS. It was a Roosevelt-Taft "illy-white" affair, pure and simple, and certainly marks the new era in their "Republicanism" which encourages the total elimination of the Negro Republican as a potent factor of the party anywhere in this great country. And the Negro stands by "splitting his teeth" and grinning like an anx, when he should be striking back with all his might to ward off total political infiltration. For that is what it all means—when he has been reduced to the point it is desired to "place" him in the party by the Roosevelt-Taft regime. Invited to Listen in the Gallery. There will be no special banquet for Negro Republicans, to follow the big "Republican" banquet at the Coliseum Saturday evening, we are solemnly told by the leading Republican daily newspaper of this city, in spite of the Negro Republicans, all parts of the state participated, and the additional fact that gallery tickets of admission to the Coliseum on Saturday evening, to listen to the addresses only, were issued to the few Negro Republicans roo lost to all self and race respect as to accept them. Fewer attended, be it said to their representatives, were the Chairman J. D. Howe (white) of the city committee, which was followed by one of their own, in colored Y. M. C. A. rooms, No. 2702 Lawton avenue, where the "Jim Crowing" was thoroughly discussed and the Roosevelt-Taft "white-yellow" campaign in the extreme and that unanimous sentiment of our leaders that the offer of the committee to provide a "Jim Crow" or special banquet for colored Republicans was most insulting in the extreme and that publicity should be given the fact that the contemptible suggestion originated in the pusillian city committee, the unanimous sentiment of our leaders. Furthermore, that future elections, both city and state, will serve best for them to register their opinions of the "Jim Crow" treatment they received, as a result of their continued loyalty in the recent $10,000 donation to the campaignquet. May they do so. Ohio Negroes can be insulted and injured and strike back, why not those in Missouri? We MEN here as well as in Ohio. When it is remembered that President-elect Taft went to Greensboro, N. C., in July, 1906, and made a speech to Republicans condoning disfranchisement and suggesting the elimination of the militia to dilate for office and as an official of the party organization; and about a month ago in the same city delivered a second speech to Republicans in which he congratulated them upon the success of the legislation, it will not be difficult for the average member of the race to understand the significance of the "Hurrah for Taft" line that heads this article. ROOSEVELT GETS QUICK ANSWER! President is Sent Letter by Lutherans Replying to "Biglytr" Statement —Candidate's Religious Belief Held by Clergym to be Important. New York City —The New York City members of the synodical conference of the Evangelical Lutheran church, through the Rev. William Schoenfeld of Immanuel church, Eighty-sixth street in the exegetate and the Rev. Martin Walker of St. Matthew's, One Hundred and Forty-fifth street and Convent avenue, have addressed an open letter to President Roosevelt in reply to his letter in which he denounced as "unwarranted biglytr" a refusal to vote for a candidate for high office because he is a Roman Catholic. He is subservient to the subservient of the basic principle of a real separation of church and state to permit the religious belief or non-belief of any candidate for public office to determine the casting of one's vote for or against such candidate, except a case in which "that very religious belief or non-belief antagonizes this principle of complete separation of state and state and liberals and liberals are included therein and safeguarded thereby." They then quote from Pope Boniface VIII, Plus IX and Leo XIII to demonstrate that the Roman church condemns the state's independence of the church. They quote also from Cardinal Gibbons book, "The Father of Our Fathers," his citation from Becanus, and description of the charismatic dazzlingness of Romanists are but a confirmation of the charge that the Roman Catholic church does not stand for full and perfect religious liberty. A SPLENDID TESTIMONIAL as understood by all Americans and penned in our federal constitution." The letter then says: "Are we nct, then, compelled to maintain that a loyal Roman Catholic who fully understands the allegiance required of him by the pope can never shatter his institution, nor, if he does subscribe to it, never can be expected to abide by it, enforce it and defend it? How, then, could we, as firm believers in the principle of complete separation of church and state and the liberties based thereon and safeguarded thereby, conscientiously and consistently the伯伯 of the Roman Catholic church so long as that church does not officially, through its pontiff or church council, revoke its diametrically opposed declarations? Are the 2,000,000 and more Lutherans of this country, not to speak of the millions of other Protestants who take this position for the reasons stated in accuser's account, for the Christianism benefited of such stand, aye be denounced as being disloyal American citizens?" "THE KICKER." The colored people of this country, whether they realize the fact or not, are under many obligations to those colored men who raised a howl against President Roosevelt in particular and the Republican managers in general over the treatment of the "brother in black." This caused, not only President Roosevelt to pause, but it also nerved the great Ohio senator, Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, to greater efforts. His fight in the United States senate prompted the Republican to action and there was engrafted in the Republican national platform a plank, so strong and emphatic that its meaning can neither be misunderstood or honorably evaded. We do not know whether all of our people will appreciate this great advantage, but it will be apparent to thoughtful people everywhere. The pendulum is now swinging in our favor. If we will be careful and conservative in our actions, we are of the opinion that the star of the colony folklore will will be dancy, and prejudice, which has been so virulent will be so modified as to give us a chance not only in party councils, but a bearing in the nation. It will be well for us not to indulge in any reprisals or in any unkind comments relative to colored men who acted independently in the recent contest. All people now know that everyone else, other people, that he will jealously defend his rights and break away from any party or political leader that refuses to recognize him as a man and as a political equal before the law. Mr. Bryan led a forlorn hope from the start. The colored people stood by the Republican party as a whole, (?) but the signs of rumbling and the murmurs of discontent among them overfaced the harden-bearer and causing a pronounced upheaval at the polls.—Richmond (Va.)

A Dinner that Proved Most Felicitous Indeed----Revs. Dandridge, Forte and Bailey Deliver Strong Responses---- The Onward Foraker Club's Guests. At the request of the executive committee of the Onward Foraker club, 18 of the 20 persons who accepted invitations to attend the dinner given Sunday at 5 p. m., at the Philadelphia house, in honor of Rev. Dr. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, were present and enjoyed one of the most felicitous affairs it has ever been their good fortune to participate in. The committee is made up of the following named persons, with the editor of The Gazette as chairman and also president of the club: Messrs. A. T. Abbott, Lewis J. Dean, Edward Daw, Andrew McSpadden, James R. Snyder and Charles Sutton, secretary. In issuing their invitations to the dinner, which was thoroughly informal and devoid of all political phases, the committee referred to the fact that Dr. Bailey while in our city has been so consistently aggressive a loyal member of the race and local leader of our best thought and people, that it felt that some slight recognition of these facts at this particular time would be most opportune, and would also be thoroughly appreciated, particularly by all those who attended the dinner. This proved to be the case. Short and splendid addresses commendatory in the extreme of his many sterling qualities, especially the honored guest's independence of thought and leadership in local affairs, were made by Rev. E. Forte, the new pastor of St. James' A. M. E. church, Rev. E. D. Dandridge, pastor of Mt. Haven Baptist church, Mr. J. Charence Brown and the editor of The Gazette, who presided with Dr. Bailey seated at his immediate right. To these the guest of honor responded with one of the most forcible and telling speeches it has ever been our good fortune to listen to. Dr. Bailey in as logical a discussion of 20 or 30 minutes as any intelligent person would delight to listen to, handled the subjects of manhood and the necessity of independence of thought and action upon the part of all members of the race; and discussed thoroughly the vitally important racial issues of the day, mak- secure proper remedies, and closed ation of manhood, and womanhood, only encouraging in the extreme once upon its hearers.

Sutton and McSpadden of the executive committee of the Onward Foraker club constituted a committee which escorted the dinner-guest from his home to the Philadelphia house and from the dinner to his church in one of Mr. Gilbert C. Price's finest carriages. The preliminary arrangements, such as the reception of the guests on arrival and the seating of the same, etc., were in charge of another committee, headed by Mr. Edward Daw, with Messrs. Lewis, J. Dean and A. T. Albert as assistants. The dinner proper was preceded by a short but appropriate prayer by Rev. Dr. Bailey, which was followed by the reading of the following letter of regret: Cincinnati, O., Nov. 12, 1908. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Cleveland, O. Dear Sir and Friend: I am glad to learn from your letter that the executive committee of the Onward Foraker club is intending to give a dinner in honor of the Rev. H. C. Bailey. While my personal knowledge of him is limited, yet I know of him through the reputation he enjoys in such a way as to warrant the belief that he is one of the best representatives of the very best type of his race, and that he is intimately worthy of the distinguished compliment the committee proposes to pay him. Sincerely wishing you a successful and enjoyable occasion, and with sentiments of highest regard for your honored guest, I remain. Very truly yours, etc. J. B. FORAKER. All of the guests, with the exception of the clergymen, were attired in full dress and when seated at the table made a very pretty scene indeed, which will long be remembered as one of the finest truly stag social functions our people of this city have ever had.

Dr. H. C. Bailey, pas- tor of Antioch Baptist church of this city. At the recent election, Mr, Frank Leland of Chicago, was elected a Cook county commissioner, and Dr, Lane of the same city, was elected a mem- ber of the Illinois legislature trom the same county, Encouraging. ‘We are a little curious to know what our esteemed confrere of the St. Louis (Mo.)

Dossen of Liberla, Africa, is in this country try- ing to encourage 600,000 self-sustain- ing Afro-Americans to emigrate to that country, a splendid field for those with a few hundred dollars and good health. It Ohio Afro-Americans could have had the services of Bishop Walters and Dr. Du Bois for two weeks prior to the recent election, Taft's Ohio plu: rality of about 50,000 would have been wiped out instead of being cut from 255,421 (Roosevelt's four years ago) to nearly one-fifth that number.

Good! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1908. THAT SUPREME COYRT DECISION Snr Ratio ndy aids Papel (antenatal easing: a gpa Ohioan, dissented. The case did not bring up the broad question under the federal constitution as to whether the Face discrimination by tho state law ‘was unconstitutional, For that reason some doubt remains as to the com struction which {s to be given the de cision. ‘The Justices of the court te frain from interpreting the optnton. Holds Right to Amend. In the case, as it was brought and 8 it was decided, only questions as to charter rights and the harshness and unreasonableness of the state constt tution were raised. The college con- tended that the charter granted by the state was a contract, which could not be impatred, but the supreme court of the United States held on this point that the state expressly reserved the right to amend and alter the charter. ‘The supreme court takes the broad grounds that the states havo a right to control the corporations, _ which they create, within a reasonable lim {tation and finds that the prohibitions imposed by the law of 1904, so far as ‘they prohibit the co-education of the ‘two races, are not unreasonable under ‘the conditions which exist in the state, Justice Brewer's opinion con- strued the law of 1904 as in effect an amendment to the charter of Berea college, and added: “It is not at all unreasonable to be Meve that the legislature, although ad. vised beforehand of the constitutional question, might have prohibited ail or gantzations and corporations under its control from teaching white and colored children together, and thus made at least uniform official action.” Harlan Scores Prejudice. Contending that it would prove tm- practicable and unsatisfactory to sep- arate corporate from private schools, Justice Harlan in his dissenting opin- fon safd the court should meet the en- tire question squarely and decide ‘whether it 1s a erime under any condi- tions to educate white children and Afro-American children at the samo institution, He did not concede that it should be so regarded. “Have we,” he asked, “become 80 Inoculated with prejudice of race that an American government. professedly based on principles of freedom and charged with the protection of all citi zens alike, can make distinctions be- ‘tween such citizens in the matter of thelr voluntary association for Inno- cent purposes simply because of thelr respective races? Further, if the lower court be right, then a'state may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or polit: eal nature in which all ‘citizens, with- out regerd to race, are equally’ inter- ested. Many other Illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question, and how inconsistent such egistation ‘is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the taw.” Lawyers Are Surprised: Several Chicago lawyers who were unwilling to be duoted on the ground that it would place them in the post tion of criticising the United States Supreme court expressed surprise at the decision in the Berea college case. Some of them sald it would appear that the ruling ts in direct opposition to the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution, and this was the attitude taken by Assistant State's At- torney F. L, Barnett, who, however, declared that as an Afro-American, he ‘was not surprised at the decision. “Ot late,” he said, “the United States supreme court has sustained every Inw discriminating against the Negro. Berea college is an old insti tution which was endowed with the ‘understanding that there was to be no discrimination between white _and black pupils, nad for that reason, when the legislature passed an act making it unlawful for whites and blacks to attend the same school, the college authorities sought protection under the constitution of the United States. The law, however, was up- held by the state'courts of Kentucky and the highest court in the land has followed sult. Evidently the Dred Scott decision, to the effect that the black man has no rights which the white man is bound to respect, Is still in effect. | First Test of Law. “Laws similar to the Kentu:'y law are in effect all through the south, but I believe Berea college is the first school which has attempted to test such an unjust law.” Minos has a statute specifically providing against discrimination against our children, It is to be found in article 16 of the school laws, and prohibits the exclusion of any child, directly or indirectly, from any public school on account of such child's color. Notwithstanding this, a case was only recently decided by the lt nois supreme court, which has been up in one form or another for ten years, upholding the right of two of our children in Alton, Ill., to attend fa school from which they had been excluded. Since the case was begun the “children” have outgrown school age, and it is sald that our children are still discriminated against in Al- ton. “No. ‘Jim Crow’ schools for Chi- cago,” was all the comment President Schneider of the board of education of that city had to make, and the same is true of Ohio and practically all of ‘One of the Finest.

In Exodus the Is raelites are com: manded to keep an autumnal feast, more explicit. de tails for such a feast being given in the Book of Leviticus. The feast was to last seven days, and ‘on the first day t Iv (i SED POODIC WEPG WO" BOLI er ee cedars and willows of the brooks. It may be from this custom that the present day decoration of churches with greens and vegetables arose. Herodotus mentions this autumn custom of thanksgiving, and Homer writes that “cakes and lumps of dough thrown at the head of the sacri- ficial victim formed a part of the Greek offerings to Apollo, the sun-god, at the feast of the ingathering.” In ancient times Apollo received the honors of the harvest festival, but the rusties sacrificed to Vacuna, the god- dess. Images of Vacuna were made of straw, wheat, barley and rye, and were carried about with singing and cheering. Even now in England im- ages made of straw crowned with flow. ers are occasionally carried about and called Ceres—the goddess of agricul- ture. Apollo was formerly worshiped in Britain, and the May-pole is. a pretty relic of those days. They dec- orated it with garlands to welcome the northward coming of Apollo—the sun —at whose appearance the flowers and fruit began to grow. Various customs, all containing the same {dea, have prevailed in different countries. In Scotland, when the ‘reapers have finished their work, a ‘small package of corn, called the “Corn Lady.” 1s hung up in the house. The ancient Egyptians offered sac fices and made offerings of corn and ‘wine to Leith, the mother of the sun. “Wheat, according to both sacred and secular history, was the most impor- tant grain grown in Egypt, and_ the mode of harvesting it is interesting. Instead of the usual method the reap- ers cut the straw just below the ear of corn, It was carried in bags to the threshing floor, where It was trodden ‘out by oxen. Sometimes the wheat was reaped in the usual way and Festival Dear to Americans. A festival peculiarly dear to Amer- feans is nigh. It has been the off spring of the mating of two funda- mental institutions in our social struc- ture--the Christian chureh and the Christian home. From the ploneer days of early New England all through the history of subsequent pilgrimages ‘of New Englanders to remote fron: tler communities and the Islands of the sea it has been a day when man escaped from the yest charge of that basest. of crimes—ingratitude—and when scattered families came to- bound up in sheaves, but oxen were always employed to separate the wheat from the straw. What is known as “the shouting of the churn,” comes down from the time when Apollo was worshiped in Eng- land. The churn or kern means aring or circle formed by several persons holding hands. The word churn also signifies a chaplet worn around the head or carried suspended on a pole in procession. So “the shouting of the churn” means the merriment that always accompanied wearing a chaplet or dancing in a circle, Another old custom is the “kemp- ing” of England, in Scotland called “a mel.” Mell is sometimes spelled melee, which is better, as a melee, or row, often resulted from contend: ing for leadership in dispatching the last day's work in the field, Each reaper left a handful of the harvest uncut, and the bonniest lass was al- lowed to gather these handfuls and to make out of them a “corn baby.” This was brought home in triumph, set up in the feast, and preserved for the re- mainder of the year. The lass was called the harvest queen. Sometimes instead of being made into a doll the products of the field would be formed into a mare, and the reapers would amuse the guests by trying to cut down the mare with their sickles. The man who succeeded in the undertak- ing would declare what should be done with the mare, a ae, ‘Thanksgiving day! The Fates benign Have given us in joy to dine, ‘To Womanhood I raise this glass— Let every lover toast his Inss God bless our sweethearts, yours’ and mine! In loneliness why longer pine? ‘Be wed ere next shall overpass ‘Thanksgiving day!

Thankfulness as a Necessity. “In everything give thanks” is not only a righteous demand which God makes upon us, but, like all his other commands, it sets before us a neces- sity of our own nature. For, until we. learn to give thanks in everything we cannot be properly thankful for anything, we cannot have full confi- dence in God and cannot love him in such a way as to enjoy fellowship with him, Labor and Love. ‘Thanksgiving and thanksliving to be genuine must embody the Naza- rene's life, labor and love. The natu- Tal man needs to be educated inte selfless living, self-sacrificing, doing ‘good to others first, being loyally al- truistic; then, and not till then, shall the world be brought to thankfulness ‘and blessedness.. gether to make real in fact what was ideal in theory—the unity of the fam. ily circle, parental and filial love fus- ing.

Up to a late hour Sunday night he had not recovered consciousness. His skull is fractured and his condition critical. Stokes was found in front of the residence of William Thomas, Roskopf court Felhaber took Thomas to Central police station, where he was held on the charge of assault with intent to kill. In an effort to promote his candidacy for a job in the sheriff's office, defeating Sam Woods for the same, it is said Henry "Aristides" Taylor gave (?) a chicken dinner at the Philadelphia House Monday evening which was attended by Sheriff-elect Hirstus and a miscellaneous gathter for Jor-quondam the number 18. Rumor also has it that Hirstus or Bill Crawford, his political boss, (or both), were financial backers of the affair, the enthusiasm (?) of which was greatly marred because of the warring elements represented by Taylor, Brasher, Fleming, Woods, Martin and others who are now contending among each other alleged to have been promised them of the men will NOT get. They are, however, at this time jolly one another or fighting one another under cover, as the condition in their judgment seems to warrant. A number of those who attended seem to be ashamed of the fact. Wonder why? It is said that Woods and Martin refused to attend the "free feed." Greenwood, John O'Brien, were bitter anti-Roosevelt and anti-Taft individuals last year, were in attendance, as were the Eubanks ("Tahl" and "Gussle"), and George A.

Sissle, pastor of Cory M. E. church, was warmly applauded Monday evening at St. James' A. M. E. church during a reception to the new pastor, Rev. Fort, when she said; "The men who are always talking so discouragingly to our people and see nothing but the dark side of life must have sour stomachs." Mrs. Sissle was referring directly to remarks made by Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, and Rev B. J. Prince, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, who had indulged in a terrible tangle against the chances for colored people to succeed in America. They held out a very gloomy picture to the ambitious youths of the race, and Mrs. Sissle came to their rescue—Cleveland Toilet-paper. "Sister Sizzle" is getting into politics "over her head" and had better "side-step" it in the future, rather than continue attacks that show an ignorance which proves the usual feminine weakness as far as politics is concerned at least. Revs. Bailey and Prince were and are RIGHT, and they are not right, as political ignorance it is "Sister Sizzle," providing of course the Tolliet paper is correct in imputing to her the insinuation quoted above. Revs. Bailey and Prince are not only right, but loyal and true race men and have proven it. Furthermore they did not sell out to Burton party workers last fall. Rah! for Drs. Bailey and Prince, they multiply faster kind as the child of the president there is to be any) of a race that has entirely too many gratters, political slaves and dumb-heads right here in Cleveland as elsewhere. The Way It Is Done In the South. Thomasville, Ga. — W. H. Mitchell, an alderman and son of the man who founded this city, was injured recently by the grand jury on a charge of attempting to assault Miss Lucile Linton, who is the wealthiest young woman in the city. The alleged assault occurred about October 10 when Miss Linton was lured from her home by a forged note brought by a white man whose face was blackened and who was dressed as a woman. The girl supposed the person was a American and did not dwell over other matters, and the case was reached. Her screams brought assistance and her assailant fled. The community thought the assault had been attempted by a member of the race until Miss Linton went before the grand jury and told her story. Two days after the assault Mitchell was shot, as he asserted, by a man who tried to kill him. Miss Linton says she recognized Mitchell during the struggle by his voice. The person believed he killed Linton from his took her in a mitten's buggy, but Mitchell says the buggy was stolen. Miss Linton is an orphan who inherited a large fortune. Mitchell is married and has children. Senator Foraker to the Front Senator Joseph B. Foraker has announced himself a candidate for reelection to the United States senate from the state of Ohio. He is by far the ablest statesman who has aspired for the senatorship from that state in 30 years, besides he is quite deserving of the honor. His many friends, including ten millions of Negroes, are hopeful of his success. He will be elected or there will be a great shaking of dry bones in Ohio. President Obama and his henchmen of the will should not miss the opportunity to people and play hands in the Ohio senatorial fight. Stand by Foraker; he is the friend of justice and fair play, and of equal rights to all men. -Littleton (N. C.) True Reformer. Clung to Her "Affinity" in Color Chicago, Ill.—Scornfully laughing at a man and woman who, after years of neglect, approached her and tearfully claimed her as their sister, Lalu Johnson, a white woman 22 years old, admitted that Arthur Jackson, an Afro-American, was her affinity. Then she left Municipal Judge Dicker's court room on the arm of Jackson, when the police were unable to substantiate an accusation of living with Jackson they had preferred against her. The man and woman pleaded with her to return home to Denver with them and give up Jackson. The girl answered their pleas with a contemptuous look, and denied that she had ever seen before they came into the court room. An Error. His father had found it necessary to rather severely punish Robert, aged five. The little chap came running to me with resentment in his heart. "Auntie," he sobbed, "did God make you?"

Justifying the Unloading of the Negro. Justifying the Unloading of the Negro. The old Federalist party perished because it could not curb its extremists. The old Democratic party survived, and has periodically revived, because, as it did, it has managed, save at interest, to curb its extremists. It failed to do so in the Jacksonian era and the Whig party arose as a conservative opposition. When it became grossly inconsistent, and fell in the south into a hidebound conservatism as to national power, it became an extreme radicalism about the extension of slavery, it went to pieces. Because the northern Abolitionists made a great display of earnestness and eloquence, they are often credited with being the sole founders of the Republican party. Yet the first thing the Republican party did was to restrain them. Against the radicalism of the other party, they were conservative. Toward the fanatics against and for slavery it was equally conservative. Standing against slavery as a moral evil, it was willing to tolerate it as a social condition not to be dealt with radically. To save the Union it was compelled to beat down the slave conspiracy, consecring the state rights and the final necessity to abolish slavery out of hand. It is to be noted, however, that the Republican party was not made by opposition to slavery, on which it did all it could to temperize, delay a decision, and even compromise. It was made a great party by its principle of national unity, or without slavery, and broadly, broadly, broadly, from the Whigs, on questions of industry and their relations to revenue. —Chicago Inter Ocean, (Repub.) A HANDSOME PREMIUM FREE. The Christian Herald (a weekly visitor to many people in this locality) is this year giving free to every new and renewing subscriber a most attractive gift, which is very appropriately called "The Art Gallery De Luxe." It consists of six famous paintings, superbly reproduced in 14 colors, aggregating 1,000 square inches. The artist catches the glint of the sunbeams and makes them dance and gleam on canvas. But how can we paint in mere words the beauty of these six exquisite pictures? A handsomer premium was never offered by any magazine. Probably no comment is necessary concerning The Christian Herald, "The Magazine that Fully Satisfies," as only the best in literature and art is presented and very nice. The magazine has a whole year around, sparkles with gems from cover to cover. The Christian Herald contains 1,200 large pages and 1,000 illustrations yearly—as much as any four $1 magazines.

Atlanta, Ga. — President Roosevelt believes he could have smashed the solid south if he had run this fall, according to the statement of Commissioner of Agriculture Hudson. "If I had been a candidate for president this time, I would have carried Georgia," he quotes President Roosevelt. Such talker is just as silly as it sounds. Scrooblybea's head is still swelling. Wonder if the head will last until March 4 next? It must be in imminent danger of bursting by this time. Mrs. Russell Sage Gives $25,000. Lexington, Ky.—At a mass meeting of our people Tuesday night to promote the proposed industrial school to be erected by Berea college, it was announced that Mrs. Russell Sage had donated $25,000.

Darwin's Modesty On Sunday afternoon Sir John Lubbock, our host, took us all up to the hill-tip whence in his quiet Kentish village Darwin was shaking the world. The illustrious pair, born in the same year, had never met before. Mr. Gladstone, as soon as seated, took Darwin's interest in lessons of massacre for granted and launched forth his thunderbolts with unexhausted zest. His great, simple and truth-loving listener, then, I think, busy on digestive powers of the drosera in his greenhouse, was intensely delighted. When we broke up, watching Mr. Gladstone's erect, alert figure as he walked away, Darwin, shading his eyes with his hand against the evening rays, said to me in unaffected satisfaction, "What an honor that such a great man should come to visit me!"—From Morley's Life of Gladstone.

THANKSGIVING SONG Though wan skies show no rift, And every breeze be frore, Both praise and prayer let us uphift. That there is peace, that there is thrift, And such a generous store From shore to shore: -Chicago, Scollard, in The Sunday Mag- azine Their First Thanksgiving BY CARLOS BAYARD. AN nothing be done?" asked Caroline anxiously G Vance Greenway shook his head. "Not yet, dear," he explained. "I have considered the matter carefully and I think it will be best to wait." "It won't make any difference in our marriage," she added. our marriage? she pleaded. "We can get married to-morrow," he declared. "I want to go to town and get to work on my own hook." "There is nothing to prevent," assented the girl. "It is not as though I had a lot of relatives to consult." "Then let's be married and get out of the way. It will make such a lot of talk," pleaded Vance. He found when he left the girl that he had not exaggerated. Already the news that David Greenway had disowned his son had spread through the village, and the circumstantial reports of the row which had terminated in the dismissal had gained a wealth of detail in its rapid travel. David Greenway was the richest man in Greenville, and Vance had already made rapid advancement in the local bank; an advancement not altogether unconnected with his father's influence as the largest stockholder. He had resigned his position that morning, and the following day, after a quiet wedding ceremony in the parsonage of the church, he and Carol set out for the city where Vance would start anew. It was not an easy matter to find a position, even with the recommendation which the cashier of the home bank had given him, but in time Vance found a place, and they settled down to make a home in a tiny flat whose five rooms were scarcely larger than the dining room of the Greenway mansion. The months sped by all too fast, and even when Vance had earned a raise in salary, and had been advanced to a more responsible position, she would not move. "We'll save the rest," she declared. "It does seem so cozy here, dear. It's our first home. We shall have much to be thankful for next week." "That's so," agreed Vance. "By the way, I've got an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner, so don't lay in a turkey." Vance would make no explanation other than to say that the invitation came from an old friend. Not even when they arrived at the station did he enlighten her as to their destination, but the next morning, as the train neared the old home and she began to catch glimpses of familiar scenes through the frost-traced car windows, the tears came unbidden to her eyes. As they encountered the curious glances of old acquaintances, she was glad that she had let Vance persuade her to purchase a set of furs. She wanted to look her best for his sake, but she did not realize the attractive picture she made as the sharp breeze brought fresh color to her cheeks and lent sparkle to the brown eyes. Vance, sitting beside her, clasped his hands over hers. "We shall have much to be thankful for this first Thanksgiving," he said tenderly. "But most of all I am thankful that you are my wife, dear." She smiled her answer, too close to tears to speak, but as they turned in at a driveway she found her voice. "There is some mistake," she cried. "Surely you are not going to your father's." "Surely we are," he said with a happy laugh. "Do you suppose that any other Thanksgiving dinner would tempt me from our own home?" "But--you have made up?" she asked.

SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS Sorex, and Itching Eczema—Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary —Cuticura's Efficacy Proven. "I am now 80 years old, and three years ago I was taken with an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H Henderson, Hopkinton, N. Y., Apr 26, 1907." WARNED OF THE CYCLONE Telephone Just a Few Seconds Ahead of High Wind. Once upon a time a Kansas zephyr broke loose and meandered about the country, pickling up various things. Bill Baumgartner's telephone, 20 miles away, rang: "Is that you, Bill?" yelled an excited voice. "Yes. What's the matter?" man. "This is Frank. We've got a cyclone down here, and it's headed your way. Look out! I—" Frank's voice broke off suddenly. Bill heard a crash and a sputtering, then all was silence. He gathered up his family and rushed them to a deep ravine. They were just in time to dodge a funnel-shaped cloud that wrecked the house, picked up his barn, two cows, and a couple of miles of fence—Hampton's Broadway Magazine. Mark Twain on Art. Mark Twain and a party of friends recently went to visit the studio of a young sculptor who is coming rapidly into public notice. One of the pieces which was admired greatly by the majority of the party was the figure of a young woman colling up her hair. Mark listened to the encomiums in silence, and when urged for an expression of opinion said slowly: "It is beautiful, but it is not true to nature." All expressed their surprise at this unexpected verdict and demanded his reasons. "She ought to have her mouth full of hairpins," replied Tom Sawyer's father. After Changing from Coffee to Postum. Many a talented person is kept back because of the interference of coffee with the nourishment of the body. This is especially so with those whose nerves are very sensitive, as is often the case with talented persons. There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's experience along these lines is worth considering. She says: "Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrugh, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun. "There was scarcely anything I could eat that would agree with me. The little I did eat seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. I finally quit coffee and drank hot water, but there was so little food I could digest, I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. "It was then a friend brought me a hot cup of Postum. I drank part of it and after an hour I felt as though I had had something to eat — felt strengthened. That was about five years ago, and after continuing Postum in place of coffee and gradually getting stronger, to-day I can eat and digest anything I want, walk as much as I want. My nerves are steady. "I believe the first thing that did me any good and gave me an upward start, was Postum, and I use it altogether now instead of coffee." "There's a Reason."

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION The increased use of whiskey for rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is effective: "To one half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good drugst.

"I desire to recommend Mary Wilson also for a reward of merit," stated one of the board in a note appended to the report.

A party of editors from a number of cities and towns of Minnesota recently made a tour of Western Canada, and having returned to their homes they are now telling in their respective newspapers of what they saw on their Canadian trip. The West St. Paul Times recalls the excursion of the Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring to what has happened in the interval the writer says: "Thousands of miles of new railway lines have been built, and the development of the country has made marvelous strides. Millions of acres, then lying in their wild and untouched state, have since been transferred into grain fields. Towns have sprung up as if by the wand of a magician, and their development is now in full progress. It is a revelation, a record of conquest by settlement that is remarkable." The Hutchinson Leader characterizes Western Canada as "a great country undeveloped. The summer outing," it says, "was an eye-owner to every member of the party, even those who were on the excursion through Western Canada ten years ago, over considerable of the territory covered this year, being amazed at the progress and advancement made in that short space of time. The time will come when Western Canada will be the bread-basket of the world. It was a delightful outing through a great country of wonderful possibilities and resources." Since the visit of these editors the Government has revised its land regulations and it is now possible to secure 160 acres of wheat land at $3.00 an acre in addition to the 160 acres that may be homesteaded. The crops of 1908 have been splendid, and reports from the various districts show good yields, which at present prices will give excellent profits to the farmers. From Milestone, Saskatchewan, there are reported yields of thirty bushels of spring wheat to the acre, while the average is about 20 bushels. The quality of grain to be shipped from this point will be about 600,000 bushels. Information regarding free lands and transportation will be freely given by the Canadian Government Agents.
