TWENTY·SIXTH YEAR. NO. 18.
A
The two evening hoods show on what old-fashioned lines these novelties of the Paris season are being made. These hoods originated from the automobile capes and hoods and are now being made up of the most delicate colored silks, with cinnamins of dainty flowers and fancy ribbons.
On the back is a real automobile hood with brim, and the other an evening affair colored silk, trimmed with roses and plaitings. The hood is lined with white silffon and is made on a sort of frame, which is covered with shirred. The plaitings are of silffon and chiffon, giving an extremely fuzzy effect about the face.
The hoods are seen in all styles and are made of the most beautiful and costly materials, or of comparatively inexpensive stuff. It all depends on the woman.

CUT OF THE PETTICOAT.
Undergarment has Distinct Vogue in the Prevailing Fashion.
New petticoats show the yokes cut in deep points over the hips as well as in the center front and often in the center back.
The skirt itself is so gored that there is no fullness at the top, where the yoke is stitched over it.
Some of these petticoats for wear with street costumes are in rich poplins of heavy but soft material, and in deep-toned plaids, dark blue barred with scarlet and lines of white. The flaring edge, gullitess of ruffle, is finished by a mere rose ruching of tafeta matching in hue the background of the skirt. This single ruching is set on the extreme edge of the skirt.
These poplins will last practically forever, as they do not crack, nor do they wrinkle. They are also very warm and quite the thing for late autumn and winter wear.
There are some charming models in washable silk corsec covers and knickerbockers combined, and without any fulness, even a band or insertion at the waist line.
They are made of heavy white Italian silk, the tops are cut low and they have no sleeves and are laced edged.
There are shaped seams to fit the figs smoothly from above the bust to below the hips without a wrinkle or dart. The seams are flat, so as not to show.
The lower part is shaped out into knickerbockers that end just below the knee in plain bands hardly wider than the leg, having ribbons run through. These knickerbockers are extensions of the waist gore.
One Color from Neck to Toe
One Color from Neck to Toe.
As each week passes, it is seen that women are going in heavily for the one-color line from the collar to the floor. The waist and skirt, if in two pieces, must match. The gown must preferably be from one piece from the collar down.
Even above the collar bone the same color of lace or net is often used instead of white. Indoor frocks as well as street costumes are clinging to this one-color effect. The hats do not match the gown, and shoes and gloves need not match it, but if you would be in fashion, see to it that in every hour of the day you are in one color from chin to toe.
It is the one-piece gown that has made this fashion compulsory. The separate coat and skirt is not as popular as it has been, for it has given way to the three-piece suit. The skirt carries its own blouse, and the coat is added thereto.
New Ribbon Novelties
For millinery purposes ribbons of an Ottoman weave on one side only are shown, the result is a soft pliant ribbon in a 5½-inch width. The colors are taupe, navy, prunelle, mousse, callot blue, sapphire, Copenhagen, leather, amethyst, two shades each of hello-trope, peacock green and gold, emerald, crimson, mode, castor, old blue and black and ivory. A double faced liberty satin ribbon in sash width is made for directoire and empire girdle and sash fashioning, and is extremely soft and rich in quality.—Vogue.
THE GAZETTE
BRACELET IS PRESENT FAD.
Arm Ornaments of All Styles Are Much Worn.
There is a fashion now for as many bracelets as one can wear. Young girls, who are just out, are wearing as many as a dozen on one arm. These are in the lead for bridal and engagement presents.
They are in plain gold, in chased gold which is most stylish, and again made up of semi-precious stones. Some are flexible, others are not.
Those with American sapphires and large Scotch topazes are in the lead for popularity.
Girls who own small stones such as chip diamonds, pin rubies and sapphires are having them studded in little narrow gold bands.
These bracelets are only a part of a growing fashion for, an immense amount of jewelry in keeping with the Empire period. Josephine, you remember, had so many jewels that she found the jewel boxes of Marie Antoinette too small to hold them. This was a jest in France, but it did not disturb Josephine's love for as many bangles as she could put on her slender person.
We are reviving the love for these along with the Empire fashions. All manner of chains are made to match the bracelets. Rings that held a lovely stone of some kind are now commonplace beside the demand for blazing unique jewels mounted in curious set-tings.
There are pendants of all kinds for chains, and they swing to and fro over the body from neck to waist.
BLOUSE OF CLOTH.
Blouse of cloth of peau de sole, made with plaits at the shoulders, which open out over the bust. It is trimmed around the V-shaped neck with a stitched band of the material, the ends fastened with buttons. The plastron and jabot are of lace. The sleeves are cut in one piece with the waist, are encircled with a group of tucks and finished with cuffs trimmed with the stitched bands.

"SAME DAM THREE FELLERS"
HOW SUMNER, STEVENS AND WILSON HAUNTED THE MARTYR PRESIDENT
BRAN NEW STORY OF LINCOLN
They Insisted Upon an Immediate Issuance of an Emancipation Proclamation—President Lincoln's Delay and Why—Interesting.
What is believed to be a new story of President Lincoln is told by ex-Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois in the Woman's World (October). He says:
Several months before President Lincoln issued the great proclamation of emancipation which gave freedom to the whole race of Negro slaves in America, my friend, Senator Henderson of Missouri, came to the White House one day and found Mr. Lincoln in a mood of deep depression. Finally the greatest president said to his caller and friend that the most constant and acute pressure was being brought upon him by the leaders of the radical element of his party to free the slaves.
ABRIAHAM LINCOLN.
"Sumner and Stevens and Wilson simply haunt me," declared Mr. Lincoln, "with their importances for a proclamation of emancipation. Wherever I go and whatever way I turn they are on my trail. And still, in my heart, I have the deep conviction that the hour has not yet come."
Just as he said this, he walked to the window looking out upon Pennsylvania, available and stood there. In silence, his tall figure silhouetted against the light of the window pane, every line of it and of his gracious face expressive of unutterable sadness. Suddenly his lips began to twitch into a smile and his somber light glowed with a twinkle of something like mirth.
"The only schooling I ever had, Henderson," he remarked, "was in a log schoolhouse when reading books and grammars were unknown. All our reading was done from the Scriptures and we stood up in a long line and read in turn from the Bible. Our teacher, a faithful Israelites who were thrown into the fiery furnace and delivered by the hand of the Lord without so much as the smell of fire upon their garments. It fell to one little fellow to read the verse in which occurred, for the first time in the chapter, the second time in the chapter, Abed-ne-go. Little Bud stumbled on Shadirr, floundered on Meshach, and went all to pieces on Abed-ne-go. Instantly the hand of the master dealt him a cuff on the side of the head and left him wailing and blubbering as the next boy in line took up the reading, and he went on to write the line had done reading he had subsided into sniffles and finally became quiet. His blunder and disgrace were forgotten by the others of the class until his turn was approaching to read again. Then, like a thunder-clap out of a clear sky, he set up a wall which covered the room with rather unusual gentleness inquired: "What's the matter now?"
"Pointing with a shaking finger at the verse which a few moments later would fall to him to read, Bud managed to quaver out the answer: "Look there, master—there comes them same dam three fellers again." Then, his whole face lighted with such a smile as only Lincoln could give, and he beckoned Senator Henderson to his side, sliently pointing at the verse, where were at that moment crossing Pennsylvania avenue toward the door of the White House. They were Summer, Wilson and Thaddeus Stevens.
"THE TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL"
The Berea College Trouble and How It was Brought About—President Frost Gulity.
Berea, Ky.—As to the local college trouble settled in part by the recent miserable United States supreme court decision, the whole matter in a nutshell is this: William Godell Frost, president of Berea college, came to Kentucky from Oberlin; he, like all other northern white men who find themselves suddenly elevated to positions which are out of all proportion to their ability to grasst and qualify with the southern tradition straightaway to out-herod Herod in proscription, discrimination, and a degree of general cussness never dreamed of by southern "white folks." Frost has never denied the fact that he and he alone induced Representative Day to introduce the bill into the legislature which caused the elimination of the Negro from Berea. Although Frost knew that the endowment was contributed on the grounds that the school was and should remain co-educational, he believed that the matter, relying upon the innate sense of racial prejudice possessed by the average white man who serves as our law maker, to override any little idea
of fairness which he might be guilty of harboring toward the black man. Frost is one of the biggest hypocrites that ever served at the head of an educational institution, and the way of F. L. Williams showed him up to the public in Louisville during the National Association of Colored Teachers is ample proof of his treachery, hypocryacy and general unfitness for the position he holds. It is a lie purely and simply that the people of this town and county (Madison) were hostile to the coeducation of all men until Frost came, and seeing the possibilities of making Berea college a great white school, proceeded at once to sow the seeds of dissention by displacing first one colored teacher and then another until every one was eliminated from the faculty. This accomplished, he proceeded to hunt about for plans to eliminate the Negro student in a worthy good in institutional Day, who in the providence of God, was called hence as soon as he had accomplished his nefarious purpose. Just at this time, confident in the fact that the supreme court would decide in his favor, Frost is going to and fro in Kentucky and walking up and down in it, trying to get the Negroes to sanction his nefarious scheme and strangle toes. No matter any number who clamoring for the erection of the Berea Jim Crow Annex in their respective communities. "Twas ever thus!"

DR. HIRSCH TELLS SINAI COGREGATION BENEFITS FROM INTERMARRIAGE POLICY.

Chicago, Ill.—Intermarriage in other races in violation of accept scriptural injunctions, and years custom was bodily advocated as a custom of the Jewish problem by Emil G.

DEATH OF HON. E. D. BASSETT.
First Member of the Race Appointe in the Diplomatic Service.
Brooklyn, N. Y. — Ebenezer D. Bassett, minister to Hayt in under President Grant, which position he held until 1879, when he was appointed consul general to Hayt in New York holding the office for 12 years, and afterward vice consul for Hayt, died recently at his home here after three weeks' of illness. Mr. Bassett was born in Litchfield, Conn., October 16, 1833, and was educated in the Birchwood School in Conn. State Normal college. He afterward taught school in New Haven and then became principal of the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia. At the outbreak of the spanish-American war he was appointed vice consul general of Hayt in New York and field that position until his death. Mr. Bassett had lived here for the past ten years, a though most of his life was in Philadelphia. He leaves two daughters and three sons. He was author of an authoritative book on the government and resources of Hayt, for the bureau of American republics at Washington. The remains were taken to New Haven for interment.
A. Square Deal Asked
Chicago, Ill.—The first speaker of the day at the recent Catholic conference held here was Rev. John E. Burke, director of Catholic work among Negroes. Continued Father Burke: "But wherever you find a Negro congregation you find order, respect for law, right living, and moral order. You often hear it said that the Catholic church cannot convert hither it is not the church of God. The colored people are what slavery made them. It destroyed the home, and no white could progress under a like burden. The way to deal with the problem is to introduce justice and charity not only among the Negroes, but among certain bigoted whites." Father Burke said schools should be located in the south, and the teachers should be Negroes and a normal school like Tuskegee institute should be established to train teachers. He also advocated the instruction of priests, who will be able to reach their own people better than others.
"Sistah" Potte Pouted Dreadfully
"Sistaf Pouted Deadfully.
New York City.—Mrs. Allen Potts of Castle Hill, Cobham, Va., a daughter of a award to the blondmom's proudest families and a sister the Princess Troubetzkol, who is better known as Amelie Rives, afforded two distinct sensations in the horse show on the 13th, the second more sensational than the first. She was the only woman riding in a large class for officers' mounts and charges, and in that class the blue ribbon was given to a superb animal which was ridden by an Afro-American (Garris), the only one who appeared as a performer during the show. Mrs. Potts did not re-appear in the horse show after leaving the ring her friend her as "perfectly furious" because she had been placed in competition, beneath the eyes of New York society, with a Negro. Too bad, "Sistaf" Potts.
The Braying of An Ass.
Fort Worth, Texas—J. L. Lucas of Sunset, Texas, has been refused license to preach by his order. He is a member of the Holiness church, which is strong through the southwest, and is one of the oldest pastors in the church, having preached for nearly a quarter of a century. At the state conference which closed here on the 15th he made the statement that he believed the Negro has no soul. That conclusion was supported at the gathering, some 200 pastors being present. Resolutions were offered condemning him, and as a result he was refused the right to continue further the church work, and by action of the church board cannot continue in the pastorate.
Marries One of Our Women
Delaware, O.—Putting into practice his theory for the solution of the race problem, Mr. George Wells, brother of Deputy Sheriff William Wells, has just returned home with an Afro-American wife. His parents are well-to-do and highly respected. He believes the human race has deteriorated since the time of Christ through the age of Jesus. He is 35 years of age and far above the average in points of intelligence and good common sense.
Poor Child!
When I grow up and marry, mother, will I have a husband like papa?" ask Mary. "I hope so, dear," said mother. "I if don't marry, will I be like Aunt Sue?" "I hope so." "How?" said Mary, as she turned away, "what a fix I'm in!"—The December Dellegator.
IN UNION
THERE IS STRONGER
JEWS ARE URGED TO WED GENTILES
DR. HIRSCH TELLS SINAI CONGREGATION BENEFITS FROM INTERMARRIAGE POLICY.
PURITY OF RACE IS DENIED
Says Opposition to Proposal Means Segregation and Eventual Decline
—The Same is True of the Negro American.
Chicago, Ill.—Intermarriage into other races in violation of accepted scriptural injunctions and years of custom was boldly advocated as a solution of the Jewish problem by Dr. Emil G. Hirsch in a sermon before the Sinai congregation Sunday, November 13. The sermon was the first sermon sorely deserved with the intermarriage of Jews with non-Jews and the solution of the Jewish problem.
As the only alternative to intermarriage Dr. Hirsch offered emigration and segregation, and the ultimate decline of the Jewish people in the world's civilization and progress. In declaring in favor of intermarriage the noted Hebrew educator attacked the "racial purity" argument of orthodox Jewish leaders who oppose intermarriage, declaring that no such thing as a distinctive Jewish race exists and that vaunted racial purity and unmixed blood is a myth.
"Within recent days, the proposition of intermarriage of Jews and non-Jews has been more and more advanced and this fact urges upon us who are free from prejudice careful study and consideration," Dr. Hirsch declared. "Ever since the Jewish question pbrudle itself upon the Jewish people, like our great leaders have offered two solutions. Either the Jew must intermarry into the races among whom he lives or he must emigrate from the land where the fortunes of life have placed him. We who believe intermarriage is the only rational solution of the problem cannot appeal to the Bible for precedent, as our orthodox opponents do, or point to the injunction of Abraham against intermarriage. But for us this historic interest as mirroring the ideas and aspirations of the time and the people which gave it birth.
Brands Racial Purity a Myth
Says Intermarriage Is Frequent.
Says marriage is frequent.
"In Denmark, in Sweden, and in the smaller American cities the Jewish people have intermarried. Only the most wealthy of the Ghetto and the most wealthy has intermarriage not been accepted. The vaulted purity of race and blood is bumcune. We always have intermarried and in the centuries when intermarriage was suspended or prohibited, something else which had the same effect upon the offspring of Jewish women took place. Don't misunderstand me in this. During the 'dark ages' the Jews were intermarried so sociologically ostracized, but morality upon the point of the persecutors was common, helpless Jewish women were the innocent victims (like colored women were in the south in slavery times) and the enforced bearing of non-Jewish children was their way of wearing the crown of martyrdom for a higher civilization.
"We also are urged to maintain the purity of our religion. But in ancient Israel, the majority of our people were indifferent or antagonistic to the religious tenets of Judah. If ever we had religion it is ours. Our temples are empty there is no religious question which interests us. We are so dead sure of ourselves in religious matters that we come to the temple to criticise, not to be inspired."
Manasseh Ball a Great Success
Chicago, Ill.—The Manesseh ball at Central ball on the 16th was well attended, about 1,500 being present. Either husband or wife is white—members of the Manesseh society. The man or woman must be white, in the cases of all attending the Manesseh social functions. Mr. Clint Hill and Mrs. P. H. Banks, Mr. D. Williams and Mrs. D. Young, led the grand march. The music, excellent, was rendered by the famous Eighth Regiment orches

Cleveland, Saturday, Nov. 28, 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.
The present day "American" is a composite production, and not Anglo-Saxon by any means.
The "Rev," J. L. Isaacs of Sunset, Texas, brayed loudly, but a tin can was quickly tied to the tail of an ass and the sun set sure enough for one Isaac's preaching and pastoring. Good!
Have you noticed that "Czar" Roosevelt's sympathies are so broad and general that they take in every class of people on the face of the globe except the Afro-American? Even the Chinese were remembered by him the other day.
In recent years many, very many of our women have married white men. While we do not for a minute question their right, or even their wisdom in so doing, we cannot help but notice the great increase in this sort of thing with more or less apprehension, being a bachelor. As a rule they have, too, married men of the other class or race who are of superior intelligence to the average of their class or race.
Dr. Hirsch, in his sermon on intermarriage, tells the Jews substantially what Charles W. Chesnutt, Esq., told our people in a lecture at Washington, D. C., several years ago, and what both Jewish and Afro-American advanced thinkers have been telling their people for years prior to Dr. Hirsch's sermon and Attorney Chesnutt's lecture. There is more truth than poetry in their argument, as much as many Jews and Gentiles, both black and white, dislike and vainly try to refute it.
Kentucky Afro-Americans should see to it that there is a fair partition of the Berea, Ky. college estate and funds, and should not be satisfied with the few thousands of dollars set aside for a separate school for them by President Frost and the trustees of the college. This, too, regardless of Mrs. Russell Sage's recent $25,000 gift and all others to follow. Berea college was made what it is most largely by philanthropic northerners who sought, particularly, and in most cases, wholly, to aid in the education of the Afro-American.
The "Jim Crowing" of interstate passengers has again been put up to President "Brownsville" Roosevelt and his southern-sympathizing interstate commerce commission. This time by Kansas Afro-Americans who have been grossly insulted in Oklahoma, Texas and other southwestern states. As the president, and President-elect "Disfranchisement" Taft both favor "Jim Crow" cars for our people traveling in the southland, we do not look for any more favorable results this time than were secured when like complaints were lodged with the first named individual, Roosevelt, last year.
"THE NEGRO VOTE IN OHIO."
Taft lost 30,000 Ohio Afro-American votes at the recent election and the result shows it. Roosevelt's plurality of 255,421 years ago was cut to about one-fifth of that number (for Taft), and the Ohio Negro was one of the most important factors in bringing about this excellent showing. Gen. Harris, the defeated Ohio Republican candidate for governor, lost almost as many Afro-American votes as did Taft. Half of those lost would have made him victorious. In Cleveland "the Colored troops" certainly "fought nobly," doing their full share of this good work. They, too, "remembered Brownsville." The night before the election, Woodliff hall, Cleveland, a place that accommodates about 500 people, could not hold the people ("Negroes" if you please) who tried to crowd into it to hear anti-Taft speeches and to show their hostility to the Republican candidate for the presidency. While Clayton hall, two blocks away, on the same side of the street, a place that has half the capacity of Woodliff hall, contained only six persons ("Negroes") and a band, a Negro Taft meeting. This condition of affairs obtained throughout Ohio as far as Afro-American们 were concerned and we were in a position to observe the Negro voters in every section of Ohio," having campaigned throughout the state for at least three weeks prior to election day. Two or more anti-Taft meetings were held during the last two weeks of the campaign in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Springfield, Columbus, Xenia, Piqua, and at least one in Troy, Greenville, Lorain, Akron, Lima and other Ohio cities and towns where there were any considerable number of Afro-American voters. The campaign subsidized Taft newspaper liaison to close shop after election.
THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1908.
Many of them have had to do so, owing to the enforced discontinuance of their campaign sheets as a result of the closing of the "Taft bar'l." Yes, indeed, the "Ohio Negro," (especially those in Cleveland), remember Brownsville "troops" certainly "fought nobly" and to much purpose. They showed manhood, self and race respect. The great mass of Ohio Afro-Americans are not political slaves.
THE CRUCIAL PERIOD
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Georgia are the eight southern states that have adopted disfranchisement laws in direct conflict, and in defiance of certain sections of the United States constitution while Republicans were (and are still) in full control of all the branches of the government with full power to put a stop to it. Notwithstanding their oaths of office—to uphold the fundamental law, the United States constitution—and in spite of the fact that about one million Afro-American voters (nearly one-half of the total number) and two hundred and fifty thousand and white Republicans, have thus been robbed of the right to vote for candidates for presidential electors and for congress (federal office) as well as for state and local offices, the Republican president, United States supreme court and congress make absolutely no effort at all to wipe out disfranchisement and thus compel a proper respect and regard for the fundamental law of the land. Worse and more of it, they refuse even to take cognizance of the dangerous precedent thus established. In addition to this, as a race and an integral part of American citizenship, we have had decisions handed down by the Republic and interstate commerce commission that have narrowed and curtailed our rights until we can now hardly lay claim to even full rights of lay citizenship. And still the vitally injurious work goes on as indicated by the most recent United States supreme court decision in the Berea, Ky., college case, which is but little less harmful than that august body's decision of years ago murdering the Charles Sunner civil rights law in all the states of the Union; and its earlier and most infamous "Judge Taney" decision which practically announced that a Negro had no rights that a white man was bound to respect. When all this, the "Jim Crow" car laws, and the wholesale lynchings of the south are considered, it seems high time for the great mass of Afro-Americans to stop and begin a course of deep thinking and far wiser action in matters political in the future than has characterized any considerable number outside of the state of Ohio at any time in recent years. This is indeed a crucial period for us, and it will not remain so forever. We must learn to act, strike in our own defense, and quickly, too, or it will soon be too late.
LYNCHING AND LYNCHING.
In observance of the 200th anniversary of the granting by Queen Anne of England of the first charter of Annapolis, Md., a three days' celebration was begun here Saturday with historical exercises at the state house.

MORE "HURRAH FOR TAFT!"
Faithful Negro Republicans of Miscoul are Given a Taste of the Roosevelt-Taft "Lily-White" Medicine Administered at Chicago.
Special to The Gazette
St. Louis, Mo.—Like at the Chicago national Republican convention last summer, when 213 regularly elected black and white Republicans (nearly all for Foraker) were robbed of their seats, in order to seat the same number of Democrats and Democrats posing as Republicans, mostly federal office-holders. Afro-Americanes of this city and state were recently given a taste of the Roosevelt-Taft "illy-white" medicine when they were barred from the local Republican city committee's $10,000 bank account. It was the last Saturday evening, to which 2,766 white Republicans were invited. It was the biggest political banquet ever held. 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 day in Missouri were invited and participated 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 force in this country. And the Negro stands by "splitting his teeth" and grinning like an ass, when he should be striking back with all his might to ward off his total political if not racial annihilation. For that reason, we are not required to address 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 fact that white Republicans only from all parts of the state participated, and are not the only group admitted to the Coliseum on Saturday evening, to listen to the addresses only, were issued to the few Negro Republicans so lost to all self and race respect as to accept them. Fewer attended, be it said to their credit. After a conference of our leaders with Chairman Jephta D. Howe (white) of the city committee, which included the colored Y. M. C. A. rooms, no. 2702 Lawton avenue, where the "Jim Crowing" was thoroughly discussed and the Roosevelt-Taft "illy-white" medicine tasted scientifically, it was the unanimous sentiment of our leaders that the offer of the committee to provide a "Jim Crow" or special banquet for colored Republicans was not a publicity should be given the fact that the contemptible suggestion originated in the 'pusillanimous city committee and certainly not among them. 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 condescension, to the "illy-white" Coliseum political banquet. May they do so. Ohio Negroes can be insulted and injured and strike back, why not those in Missouri? We have 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 military aid to the candidate 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 taking his advice or acting on his suggestion. The average member of the race to understand the significance of the "Hurrah for Taft" line that heads this article.

DEATH SENTENCE AT MOCK TRIAL
IS CARRIED OUT BY MOB NEAR
REELFOOT LAKE, TEN-
NESSEE.
THREE NEGROES ARE LYNCHED
Had Slain Officers While Resisting
Arrest and Were Executed After
Union City, Tenn. — Tiptonville, bordering on Reelfoot lake, which recently has been the scene of stirring incidents, yesterday witnessed the "legalized" lynching of three negroes who were arrested Tuesday for murdering on Saturday Special Deputy Sheriff Richard Burruss and wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The execution of the negroes was given a semblance of legality by a hurried "trial" arranged with the understanding that the men would be condemned to death as soon as the "trial" was over.
The negroes lynched were Marshall, Edward and James Stineback. These brothers created a disturbance at a religious meeting near Tiptonville Saturday night. When Officers Burruss and Hall attempted to arrest them, the negroes shot the officers and escaped. They were surrounded and captured in a swamp near Ridgely and placed in jail at Tiptonville. Soon the jail was surrounded by a mob which had no hesitancy in threatening a lynching in once in broad daylight. S. J. Caldwell and Sheriff Haynes went before Justice Lee Davis and explained the situation. Justice Davis at once agreed to open "court" at 5 o'clock, "summon a jury" and allow the negroes "after all available evidence was heard" to be "duly sentenced." Gov. Patterson was advised by telephone of the situation and he ordered a company of militia to Tiptonville seize the negroes and conduct them to a place of safety. The troops failed to arrive in time to prevent the lynching.
At the "trial" all of the evidence of those who had seen the killing was heard, and in an incredibly short time the "case" was given to the "jury," which in a few minutes "returned a verdict of guilty" and "fixed the penalty at death."
The "sentence" had barely been passed on the three negroes when the mob swarmed into the court room, seized the prisoners, rushed them to a large tree near the edge of town and "duly executed the sentence of death" by hanging them, firing volley after volley into the air as the bodies were drawn up from the earth.
FLIM-FLAM IS NIPPED IN BUD
Further Probe in Alleged Swindle Reveals Interesting Conditions.
Pittsburg, Pa.—Interesting developments are expected soon in the alleged swindling scheme which recently resulted in the arrest of J. Montefleore Meyers, now in charge of the New York authorities, and John A. and W. A. Fitzpatrick, now in charge of the Wilkesbarre, Pa. police. Two other men, B. F. McCarty and Allen G. McDonald, are now wanted. McCarty is believed to have fled to New York, while McDonald, it is said, has been located in this vicinity.
As the investigation into the operations of the men progresses it is more evident that one of the most gigantic swindling schemes in the history of the country had been about perfected. The timely arrest of Meyers and the Fitzpatrick brothers effectively broke up the plan.
According to reports here several government officials were interested in transactions of Meyers and his confederates. It is known that Meyers made a number of trips to Washington from this city.
The Fitzpatrick brothers were taken to Wilkesbarre, Pa., Tuesday by an officer on a charge of conspiracy to defraud a business man there out of $3,000.

The Republican small and big fry in Ohio are moving heaven and earth to wrest the senatorial toga from that great and good man, the Hon. Joseph Burton Foraker. While he has the greatest odds with which to contend, we feel confident that he can win if he gets any sort of a fair deal. One thing certain, as sure as Foraker is defended for senator, the only real friend the Negro has in public life to-day will rendered incapable of doing him any good. For our reasons, we would contend its national calamity for the state of Ohio and the United States to lose the services of so brilliant and farseeing a statesman as Joseph Benson Foraker—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press.
Willie was very proud of his first pants. That night when he said his prayers, he said, "Dear God, I am thankful to say I have on pants now." One night little Margaret, on kneeling by her mama to say her prayers, finished, "Now I lay me," and forget, Mama, she said, "I am not so e-whizzing." It was a minister's small son, whose habit was to ask God to bless each member of the family after his prayer. Having been put to bed one

night in a hurry, he forgot one of them. Kneeling again with hands clasped and eyes closed, he addressed the Lord thus: "Oh, Lord, wouldn't that kill you? I forgot grandma! God bless grandma. Amen."—The December Delmeator.
The reception and pound party given to the new pastor, Rev. E. Forte of St. James church, was a success in every respect. Every one of our local ministers were present and made interest in the event. The pastor by Meron Norman Tolbert and Robert Crowler was highly appreciated. The members and friends showed their appreciation by presenting the pastor and wife with a large donation. They return many thanks to all. The chicken dinner given at Mrs. Berry's by the Church Ald society was an enjoyable success. The concert, by the same organization, was also successful, $25 being raised by the church. The church applied on taxes. The society wishes to thank all for assistance and solicits the aid of all members and friends for the future.
The Phillegle's band has sued for its pay for playing in the Taft parade on the afternoon of November 2. In the evening part of the band was hired for a Taft meeting at Clayton on November 2. The band attended the anti-Taft meeting at Woodliff hall the same evening. The latter was over-crowded and could not accommodate all the people who attended while only SIX persons, in addition to the part of the band present, attended. Clayton hall Taft meeting, meeting. Most of the Phillegle's band members were playing at the Woodliff hall anti-Taft meeting, and received their pay promptly. Those at the Clayton hall Taft flasco have not been paid a cent, either. Playing for Taft demonstrations, seems to be the reason for Phillegle's band members. They are out over $100 in all, with very poor prospects of ever getting what is due them.
Disappearance of the American.
The genuine American of Anglo-Saxon blood is rapidly vanishing from the face of the earth, and will eventually be as extinct as the Huron or Iroquois, declares Viscourt d'Avenel. The descendants of other nations are now extinct in the United States, we are told, and "George Washington, if he should rise from his grave, would find himself much more at home in London than in New York. In a somewhat exaggerated reading literary organ of Paris, the Rev. Mondes, he sets out to prove by a long array of statistics his assertion that the Americans of the present day are British and Anglo-Saxon merely in their language. The population of the large towns is made up mostly of European continental elements—the Literary Digest, N. Y. City.
As Usual, the Cleveland Toilet Paper LiedI
Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: The report of the reception recently tendered Rev. E. Forte, pastor of St. James' church, in a local publication was not a correct one in its statement concerning the sentiments of the people in regard to the remarks made by the Revs. Bailley and Prince. The speeches of the presidents of the former being interrupted several times during the course of his remarks by hearty applause from the audience. Their speeches showed them to be not only interesting, but advanced thinkers, with the courage of conviction. I was present and presided at the meeting, hence known as the Gumlee. MRS. M. GUMEE
Burton Still Against Foraker.
Hot Springs, Va.-Theodore E. Burton, who was here on the 18th, was waiting anxiously at the hotel to see Mr. Taft, but he was unable to do so until the next day. Mr. Burton desires to be elected senator from Ohio to the Senator Foraker. He is mentioned as the candidate to didae for speaker to beat "Uncle Joe" Cannon. The speakership appeals to Mr. Burton if he can be shown that he can win. He is waiting to be shown. Both Mr. Burton and Mr. Taft are their approaching interview with some embarrassment and anxiety.

LIES OF STATESMEN
His Mendacity Described as Bold
Simple and Unstudied—False-
hoods of Other Great Rulers
of Nations.
Prince Bismarck, once definitely
and irrevocably retired from power,
had no delicacy in describing himself
as an uncompromising liar, says the
New York Sun. The quality of his
Mendacity was no strained; it was
bold, simple and unstated. Old
Emperor William was his apt and
proficient pupil. Between them, by
straightforward lying that would have
disgusted Machiavelli, they made history. The lie of Ems was a prodigious
thing, unmade one empire, created a
greater and deluged a continent in
blood.
There was no common knowledge of Prince Bismarck's achievements in the art of lying at the time of his activity. They were well enough known in high places, but to make public such a charge against so great a man was to incur great personal inconvenience, or expose one's self to ridicule. Simple veracity is resorted to by very great statesmen only when they are reasonably sure that they run no danger of being believed. Bismarck was one of the great figures of the nineteenth century. In all his career he never told a trivial lie, while for gratuitous lying he entertained an ineffable contempt.
In the early part of the last century nobody thought of calling Napoleon Bonaparte a liar. It seemed too inadequate. None of his sycophants is on record as describing him as a gentleman. His precious nephew gained his 20 years of precarious ascendancy by an effective counterfeit of all his uncle's worst qualities plus his own undiluted depravity.
Disraeli, the most distinguished Jew in modern 'history, was much the intellectual superior of Bismarck. The imputation of lying was never successfully urged against him, even by the house of commons. On the other hand, implicit belief in anything that he uttered was held to be the height of temerity. It was maintained of Palmerston that he never told a lie outside of the house of commons in his whole life.
The statement of an obvious untruth does not necessarily impair a man's character for veracity. Mr. Gladstone had a wonderful reputation for truthfulness, and maintained it as his death. In the estimation of a property of Englishmen it is only just to his character. It acknowledge that with advancing years he himself shared the same conviction.
Respecting those persons who infest the public prints with lamentations respecting the prevalent decay of the art of lying, we hold their burden to be mainly affection. There is none such. Of all the arts of the day it is the most robust.
Waterproofing Matches
Perhaps some of your readers would be interested to know that. I have found a simple, inexpensive way to waterproof matches, writes a correspondent to the Scientific American. Into some melted paraffin (care being taken that it was as cool as possible) I dipped a few ordinary parlor matches. After withdrawing them and allowing them to cool it it was found that they scratched almost as easily as before being coated with the wax. Several were held under water for six or seven hours and all of them lighted as easily as before immersion. When the match is scratched the paraffine is first rubbed off and the match lights in the usual way. Matches treated as above would be very useful on camping or canoeing trips, as they do not absorb moisture. Since more rubbing is required light them than the ordinary match, it would be practically impossible to set them on fire by accidental dropping.
Chance for Fire Engines.
A dignified negro divine, pastor of a popular church at Washington, visited his old home in Doole county, Georgia, recently and was invited to preach on Sunday at the local church. After such a sermon as only a negro can preach, he called on one of the old deacons who had known him in childhood, to lead the prayer, and the latter closed his pettton as follows: "Q. Law, gib dis pore broderde eye de ob de eagle, dat he spy out de sin afar off. Glue his han' to de Gospel plow. The his tongue to de plowline of truie, an' nail his yere to de wiless telefoam pole ob salvation. Bow his head 'way down in de narrer, dark valley, where much prayer is wanted; den, O Lawd, 'noint him wif de keresone lie of sanctification and somet on fah!"—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Vienna a Growing City.
According to a report from the United States consul at Vienna, the census of that city, taken in 1900, shows a population of 1,635,647, or nearly 63,000 less than that of Chicago. These figures show Vienna to rank next after London, Paris and Berlin among the European capitals, while in this country only New York and Chicago are larger. In the last ten years Vienna has increased 21.9 per cent, or slightly faster than the average for the whole United States. Of the two American cities larger than Vienna, New York increased in ten years 37.8 per cent, and Chicago 54.4 per cent.
The Pursuit of Literature.
"What do they do at the Chaucer club?"
"Oh, the members talk about one another."
"And what if all the members are present?"
"Then they have to talk about Chaucer."
"I say, wait," queried the seedy restaurant patron, "what can you give me for breakfast?" "What can you anything?" replied the man behind the white apron, "but you can have steak and eggs for a quarter."

Originality Needed.
To revive an old style of building,
no matter how well it may be done,
does nothing to advance the art of
dullding. it would at the best be but
‘a enpy of an old work. Painters copy
old masters for the purpose of study,
but copying pictures will never make
4 painter's reputation, Something new
must be achieved, some original work
executed before any advance in art fs
possible. So it is with architecture —

For Six Months Baby Was Expected
to Die with Eczema—Now Well
—Doctor Said to Use Cuticura,
“Six months after birth my little girl
broke out with eczema and I had two
doctors in attendance, There was not
@ particle of skin left on her body, the
blood oozed out Just anywhere, and we
had to wrap her in silk and carry her
on a pillow for ten weeks. She was the
most terrible sight I ever saw, and for
six months I looked for her to die. 1
used every known remedy to allevi-
ate her suffering, for {t was terrible
to witness. Dr. C— gave her up. Dr.
B— recommended the Cuticura
Remedies. She will soon be threo
years old and has never had a sign
of the dread trouble since. We used
about eight cakes of Cuticura Soap
and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment,

A MATTER OF HEREDITY.

Even if there had not been kernels
of rice on her hat and a glad light
of love in her eye any bachelor could
have told that she was a bride. And
the manner in which she spoke to her
husband showed they had not been
married long.
‘A man in the,passing crowd spied
the couple, and rushed over to greet
tho bride,
“Well, well, Agnes,” he cried, ex
tending his hand, “you don't mean to
‘say that you're married?”
“Why—why, yes,” the girl stam
mered, vivid color mounting to her
cheeks, as she tried to defend her
novel situation, “You—you know, tt

An Intelligent Child.
A small boy was playing with the

mother chided him.
“You musn’t play with the scissors
dear. I know a little boy like you who
was playing with a pair of scissors
Just like that pair, and he put them in
his eye and put his eye out, and he
could never see anything after that.”
‘The child Ustened patiently, avd
said, when she got through the nar-
rative:
“What was the matter with his
other eye?”—Bystander.

CANADA'S RESPECT FOR LAW
AND ORDER THE SUBJECT
RGR EAU NE ABLE COMMENG.
Those who have visited Canada are
always impressed with the strict ob-
servance that is given to the laws
of the country, and the order that is
preserved everywhere, The editor of
the Gazette, of Fulton, Nev., recently
paid a visit to Western Canada, He
was so impressed with the conditions
that he saw everywhere, that on his
return home he was inspired to write
as follows: “Reverence and respect
for law is a dominant characteristic
of the Canadian people. Wherever
fone goes in Canada, whether east or
west, the law is supreme. The law is
obeyed because it is law, seemingly,
and not because violation carries a
penalty. Canada enforces the law and
makes every law effective. No coun-
try is more free than Canada. In name
Canada is a dependency of tho Brit-
fsh Crown. In fact, it Is almost a
third republic. All its taxes are voted,
collected and-expended by the Domin-
ion and the provinces. The nominal
head of the Government is the Gov-
ernor General, appointed by the Eng-
Ush Crown, . Practically his only au-
thority is to veto the acts of parlia-
ment, which he scarcely ever exer-
elses. Canada gives nothing to the
‘support of the English government or
the English king. She gives England
the advantage in trade regulations and
tariff laws, and in return receives the
protection of the British army and
navy. Canada enjoys the protection
without sharing in the expense.
“The sale of liquor is strictly regu-
Inted. None but hotel-keepers may
obtain license to vend the stuff, and
before a license can be secured an ap-
pilcant must prove good character and
provide twenty rooms in his tavern
for the accommodation of guests, The
barrooms close at 7 o'clock Saturday
evening and remain closed until Mon-
day morning. ‘The schools and churches
in Western Canada excite admiration.
Though new, Western Canada is not
godless. The finest buildings in every
town are the churches. Next come
the school houses."
Turning to the wheat flelds of West-
ern Canada, the editor of the Laurel
(Neb.) Advocate of Sept. 17th says:
“I have often thonght that the
reason that the characters of Charles
Dickens are so impressed upon the
minds of his readers is because he
dwells upon them so long and de-
seribes them 90 minutely that by the
tlme one has waded through his long
drawn out stories they are so burned
into his brain that he can never forget
them. It was this way with the Cana-
dian wheat fields. Had we only seen
a few the memory of them might
have worn away in time, but a long
drawn out experience such as we had
fs sure to leave an uneffaccable im-
pression. Never while we live shall
we forget the Canadian wheat fields.
They call it the granary of the Brit-
ish Empire, and we don't blame ‘em.
Nobody who has seen these wheat
fields can wonder at thelr enthusiasm.”
It {s worth while to record that these
fields have: now been harvested, and
in many casesiylelds as high as forty
and fifty bushels per acre have been
marketed, while the general average
has been away above 20 bushels per
acre, Oats and barley have also
done well, and the profits, the prices
of grains being high, have paid the
entire cost of the farms of many a
farmer. There is now 160 acres of
land given away, in addition to the
160 acres that the homesteader may
purchase at $3.00 an acre. Particu-
lars of this as well as the lowest rail-
way rates will be given by the Cana
Gian Government Agent.
COULDN'T FOOL UNCLE REUBEN.
Darky Knew Only the One Man as
“Notorious Republican.”
Mr. Allen, an Arkansas planter,
who enjoys the distinction of being the
only white Republican in his section
of the state, has in his employ an
‘aged negro known as Uncle Reuben,
who “fit fur de union endurin’ de
wah.”
For some time the old man had been
endeavoring to secure a pension from
‘the government for this service. A
few days ago, as Mr. Allen was riding
by a field where he was plowing,
Uncle Reuben hailed him with the
words:
“Marse, I'se done got my pension,
an‘ I wants to swar to it befoh you.”
“Glad to hear that, Uncle Reuben,
but you must do your swearing before
‘a magistrate, Squire McCabe fs the
man for you to see.”
“Now, marse, quit tryin’ to fool ole
Rube. My lil’ gal who goes to school
‘an’ kin read writin’ done read me from
dose papahs dat I mus’ swar fo dem
befoh a notorious Republican, an’ dat's
‘what you fs, kase ever’ one knows dat
Squire McCabe am a Democrat.”"—
