Four yards velveteen, 4½ yards cloth; NEW BELTS MADE TO FIT. Dress Accessory Which May Be Relied Upon to "Stay Put." If the heavily-embroidered linen belts, or well-canvassed cloth ones, persist in slipping up to disclose the waist and skirt attachments, there is a way out—and it's all in the shape. Was there ever a problem in the realm of fashion that could not be solved by some woman's genius? There are women who have just exactly the correct contour to be perfectly fitted about the waist line by a straight band of material, which "stays put," but is that a reason to suppose that every belt must need be straight? It is quite enough of a tax on the general ambiability to accept the lace stock "made in one size only" for every neck (the saints be praised for collars in quarter sizes!), but, while the ready-to-wear beltings in embroidered galloons and the like are necessarily straight, all belts turned out by tailors and at nome need not conform to a pattern fitting half the public. A very simple solution is the belt looking like every other belt when round the waist, but cut two inches and a half wide in the center back and sloped gradually to a width of an inch and a quarter at each side of the front. The extra width in the back lies over the hooks on the skirt band, and the usual narrowness in the front slips more readily into most belt buckles. ADMIRED TURBAN. A unique turban which on account of its costliness has not become popular with the masses. The top of gathered velvet is attached to a wing ban. On the right side, near the back, is a large breast, the only needed decoration. A Sewing Help. Anybody who has agonized at the sewing machine, while the silk, scorning its spool, has wrapped itself around the spindle and snapped at the crucial moment, will be glad to know that there is a little invention now on the market to prevent the loosening silk from getting below the spool. THE GAZETTE IDEAS FOR VANITY CASES. Are Now Made a Thing of Beauty as Well as Usefulness. Fan vanity cases, 12 inches wide six and a half inches long, are composed of four folds of V-shaped sufflin covered with figured silk or plain satin joined with inch-wide tafeta ribbon. The upper edges of the fan are frilled with narrow valenciennes lace and several long loops of ribbon take the place of a handle. The inner side of one fold shows a limited manicure outfit of steel and mother of pearl; a second fold is fitted with a powder puff bag, a third with an oval beveled-edge mirror framed in shirred satin, and a fourth with a toilet puff cushion. When closed the fan forms a triangle, with top corners joined by ribbon ties. A second vanity case is of circular shape and three inches in diameter. It is composed of two cardboard discs covered with delicately tatin satin or flowered silk and hinged with matching ribbon. On the inner side of one disc is a silk-powder puff pocket having a shirred hem run through with elastic. On the opposite disc is set a beveled glass mirror framed in shirred silk. Children's New Frocks The high-waisted, one-piece frocks are here for children. They look quite quant and charming in them. It is an especially pretty style for wear at their evening parties, made of messaeline, soft cashmere, china silk or silk mull. The skirt has the same lines used on grown-ups. It runs to the bust, and is almost straight over the waist. It fastens down the back under a box plait, and the top part is made from good lace, fine embroidery and sometimes a little gold and silver thread. Young girls wear this kind of a gown in rose pink, old blue, Nile green and faint lavender. The Beauty of Hair To have a pretty head of hair one must take care of it. No matter how tired you may be at night, be sure to get rid of all combs and artificial hair, shake the hair loose and brush and comb it thoroughly. If your hair is falling cut and you are using a hair tonic, after well brushing the hair apply it to the scalp. It is best to use a tonic at bedtime, for it gives the scalp plenty of time to absorb it. To Hold the Muff. If you want to avoid losing your mum in the car or leaving it at some shop, as women are apt to do, have it at tached to your wrist by a tiny gold or silver bracelet and chain, a novelty which is made expressly for this safe keeping of valuable fur accessories. A gold or silver slide adjusts the protector to the wrist, and the chains are long enough to allow of a comparatively free movement of the hand that decorated. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1909. COMPROMISE BROWNSVILLE! SENATOR FORAKER WINS AN OTHER SIGNAL VICTORY— AN AGREEMENT. TYLER TO GC; CRUM TO STAY Senator Aldrich to the Fore—He Fixes Things, Brownsville, "To Save Roosevelt's Face" and to Fulfill a Pre-Election Promise Made to Senator Foraker and Our Soldiers. Washington, D. C.—A plan for harmonizing the views of all Republican senators who have been at variance on the re-enlistment of "The Black Battalion" was laid before the senate last week Friday by Senator Aldrich and accepted by advocates of other "Brownsville" measures pending before the senate. Southern Democratic senators, who generally oppose all legislation dealing with the question, announced their opposition to the new bill as well as to others, and Ralph W. Tyler. with Senators Culberson and McLaurin as their spokesmen, refused to agree to vote on the bill at any definite time. The compromise measure was presented as a substitute for pending bills. It authorizes the secretary of war to appoint a court of inquiry to consist of five officers of the rank of States arms, not below the rank of lieutenant officer, powered to hear and report upon all charges and testimony relating to the shooting affray at Brownville on the night of August 13-14, 1906. The court is directed within one year from the date of its appointment to make a final report and from time to make partial report, as to non-commissioned officers and men of Companies B, C and D, whom they are to be entitled to. It provides that these re-enlistments shall be considered as having been made immediately after the discharge of the men, who are to be entitled to pay, allowances and other rights from the date of their discharge. This substitute was accepted by Senator Foraker, who said, however, that it did not meet his views as well as his own bill, by Senator Warren, chairman of the committee on military affairs, and by Senator Warner, a lieutenant of his own. Senator Culberson opposed an agreement to vote on Monday and Senator McLaurin a similar understanding for Wednesday. Tyler to Go President-elect Taft will have the color question put up to him at the outset of his administration. The southern Republican "organization" which nominated Judge Taft at Chicago wants to try him out on the proposition to make theirs a "white man's" party in the south. The southern Democrats are eager to involve Judge Taft in a race issue because they think that the quickest way to end his campaign to build up southern Republicanism. The president-elect's recent southern speeches on the upbuilding of the Republican party in the south are interpreted by southerners to mean the elimination of the southern Negro from politics. At the same time the president-elect made remarks on several occasions to Negro audiences which permit a doubt as to his attitude on this prop- Dr. W. W. Crum. position. Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, whom President Roosevelt made auditor of the navy department, and Dr. William D. Crum, collector of customs at Charleston, S. C., are the two men picked for the testing of Judge Taft's attitude. It will be remembered that the appointment of William D. Crum to President Roosevelt's effort to retaliate on Senator Foraker for his Brownnevio fight by placing an Ohio Negro in a federal office. During the pre-convention Taft campaign Tyler worked under the direction of Arthur I. Vorys. This fact may have no bearing, but Frank Hitchcock is understood to have worked for speedy speech in the Senate. An effort was made in the senate Monday to secure confirmation for Collector Crum, who has recently been reappointed to a second term. The Re- publican senators generally are trying to have Mr. Crum confirmed before March 4 in order to relieve Judge Taft of this embarrassment. The Democratic senators are trying hard to hold this appointment over and put Mr. Crum's first appointment was only confirmed after three years of struggle. To Save Roosevelt's "Face." The compromise reached on the Brownsville case will give the discharged without honor soldiers the right to re-enlist and to receive back pay, allowances, etc., in full, just as if they never had been discharged from the service. Senator Aldrich engineered this, President Roosevelt accepted it, and Senator Foraker is fairly well satisfied he faces no legal burden found his Brownsville order a good deal of a red hot coal and he is glad to drop it in a fashion which will not compel any formal admission from him that he was wrong. Aldrich and the Republican leaders promised Senator Foraker last spring that he could have action on the Brownsville legislature by signing a bill that would agitate the agitation of it when an election was coming on. The senator dropped it. Mr. Aldrich recently went to President Roosevelt with the statement that the promise to Senator Foraker would be kept and that his bill would most likely pass the senate and also the house, in the present state of feeling against the White House. Senator Aldrich then suggested the company save his face to let the president save his life. Senator Foraker save Sergeant Mingo Sanders and the rest of "The Black Battalion," and to let the lawmakers avoid having to take sides between the president and the Afro-American voter. They remember the fate of Cleveland's Roosevelt Republican candidate for mayor in the fall of 1907, Congressman Burton, who was defeated by Senator Foraker, and Brownsville champion.

Senator Foraker Spent His Own Money Editor Washington (D. C.) Post: To prevent harm to the cause of the unfortunate Brownsville soldiers, I deem it my duty to say that, so far as I am aware, there is no truth whatever in the story published in today's newspaper that a law have raised by the colored people with which to retain my services as an attorney for the soldiers after I retire from the senate. I could not accept such employment if it should be tendered, and if it were otherwise, and I should do so. I would not receive compensation for any such service. It is true, as I stated in the article to which I refer, that I have incurred some expense in trying to establish the truth and secure justice to the innocent men of the battalion, whether or all or less than all, but I have paid for it. I have received the help of a dollar, directly or indirectly, from any source whatever. I have received some offers to aid, but I have declined all alike, for the simple reason that I have been unwilling to assume the responsibility of spending any money except my own. I shall feel much obliged if you will give this card as much publicity as was given to the article that prompts it. Very truly, etc. J. B. FORAKER. Washington, January 17.

NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS SIMILAR PRACTICE A Prediction that Mob Violence W Not Cease Until the Public SHE MEETS AN AFRICAN KING Miss Fuller, An American Actress, in Her Memoirs—King Djoloff of Senegal. At the Colonial exposition in 1907 I was visiting one of the pavilions when a Negro six feet tall, who be a price from the Thousand and Ones appaon on the terrace, where we were sitting. A numerous retinue followed him. All were dressed like him, but none had his magnificent appearance. French officials accompanied the visitors, who caused, I must say, a splendid effect, in their simple, but picturequeen manner, when they were near me I exclaimed: "Like a king in a fairy tale!" They passed on and sat down in the hall at the end of the pavilion. The proprietor came to us later, asking if we would not like to be present at the reception of King Djoloff of Senegal. "He is visiting the exposition as a private individual," he added. "If you would like to make his acquaintance come on and I shall present you." I was charmed. When I stood before the king, I said quietly to my friends, distinctly, and in French: "What a fave savage! I wonder if they are all built like that in Africa?" I was presented to the king. He held out his hand. Imagine my consternation at hearing him say in excellent French: "am pleased to make your acquaintance my many Fuller. I have applauded you many times during my student days in the city of Paris." I requested the king to permit me to ask him some questions. When he consented, with his gentle smile, I asked him if he were married. He replied in the affirmative. He had even for five years expressed surprise that he should travel without them, especially in a country where there are so many pretty women. He looked at me several moments before replying: "To my wives a white woman has neither charm nor beauty." He was much and I asked whether it was because they had never seen any white women. "Oh," he replied, "in no case would they be jealous of a white woman. It would absolutely impossible to them that a pale woman could have any part in my life." And you. "Are you sure of it? If a white woman had long hair suddenly appeared in your country among your black women, wouldn't she be taken for an angel?" "Oh, no! They would think she was a devil. Angels in our paradise are black." That opened my eyes to a new applauding. I never saw so clearly that it is men who make gods after their own image rather than the gods who have created men after theirs.

MANY NEGROES HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF WHAT PROF. CUTLER CALLS "AMERICA'S NATIONAL CRIME." NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS SIMILAR PRACTICE! A Prediction that Mob Violence Will Not Cease Until the Public Attitude Changes—Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law the Best. "There is little reason to hope that the practice of lynching will be discontinued until the popular attitude toward it changes radically, and the regular judiciary and authorities whose duty is to administer the police power secure a larger measure of public confidence," said Associate Professor Cutier in his Western Reserve university extension lecture on "Facts About Lynching" at Woodland branch library, last week Friday night. Number Is Astounding. "The number of persons lynched in this country is astounding. During the 21 years, 1882-1903, as many as 3,337 persons suffered death at the hands of lynchers. Sixty-three of them were women—40 colored and 23 white women. The names of these persons, the places of lynching, the violence and the offenses charged are all known. "Since the year 1882 no less than 3,500 persons have been lynched in this country. Of the perpetrators of these lynchings less than 50 have been punished in any way whatsoever. During the years 1891-1904 25 persons were lynched, and 80 burned alive at the stake. Of these victims all were Negroes except two, and they were Indians. "It is generally supposed that the practice of lynching had its origin in the unsettled state of affairs existing in the southern states during the period of reconstruction followingivil war, and its application it has been confined almost entirely to Negro criminals. "This idea is wholly erroneous. Of the 3,500 lynched since 1882, nearly 1,200 were whites and more than 100 of these whites were aliens. The government has paid $480,000 in indemnities to foreign countries for mob violence done their citizens in this country. When Lynchings Began. "The beginnings of the practice of lynching are found very early in the history of the settlement of this country. Tarring and feathering, riding on a rail, whipping, with orders to leave the neighborhood in a specified time, were early instances of the application of lynch law, just as lynchmen used to the Night Riders in Kentucky and Tennessee illustrates the operation of lynch law under modern conditions. "Since the emancipation of the slaves the lynching of Negroes has frequently occurred, but lynchings are not confined exclusively to the southern states with Negroes as the victims. No section of the country can be denied the lynchings, although in New England there has been no infliction of the death penalty by lynching since 1886. Public Condones Lynching. "Lynching is a peculiar kind of crime. It is a crime that depends upon popular justification for its existence. It is distinguished from all other forms of crime by reason of the apparent purpose of providing a public 'sentiment', which is behind it and that gives it support. Lynchings take place, occasionally, because certain of the citizens conceive that the ends of justice and order are better served in that way than by the legal procedure which is available. "Ohio is one of the two states that have placed upon their statute books effective laws directed specifically against the. The principle imposed in the Ohio law is that the state has passed by the editor of The Gazette in 1896 when a member of the Ohio legislature) is that of fixing responsibility upon a community by making a county in which a lynching officer is present a right of recovery to the legal representatives of the person, lynched." Illinois' law is a copy of Ohio's. GIVES OF HIS OWN BLOOD White Hospital Attache in Vain Makes Sacrifice for Afro- American Woman. New York City.—What is believed to be the first case of blood transfusion from a white man to a member of the race took place here Monday night at Bellevue hospital. The operation, however, proved in vain for Jill Herring, the patient aged 27, died shortly before the midnight. She was brought to the hospital suffering from internal hemorrhages. The surgeons in attendance decided that the only hope of saving her life lay in the transfusion of new blood. The situation was explained to the orderlies of the hospital by Dr. Gelser, the surgeon in charge of the case, and an appeal made by him for a volunteer to save her life. Seven officers offered and Quaid, wearing 25, wereployed at the hospital as a messenger, was chosen. About a pint of his blood was transfused. Mrs. Charles Henderson and family wrote The Gazette the first of the week as follows: "We wish to extend our sincere thanks to, Edwin Cowles lodge, No. 17, K of P., and to John Baines, No. 18, K of P., and the bindsness, expressions of sympathy and beautiful floral offerings received in our recent bereavement in the death of our beloved husband and father."

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio AMERICAN YEARBOOK COUNTRY 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. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, America's two greatest men. "Brownsville" will not "down" until settled right. One of the greatest men this country has ever produced is Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. There will be no tears in Ohio if Ralph W. Tyler does have "to go"—unless he returns to this state to reside. So Senator Aldrich would "save Roosevelt's face." Too late! He was wrong in the Brownsville matter from the very beginning, to the end. The way some of our people, like parrots, are indorsing "Jim. Crow" schools, cars and other "color-lines" in public places, is enough to make the remains of Douglass, Langston and other leaders of the race, of years ago, turn over in their graves. Whither we are drifting? It is being heralded by several race papers that an "Ohio" member of the "Bread and Butter Brigade" (Washington, D. C., Afro-American federal office-holders), desirous of reapointment, is "to compile for free distribution Taft's speeches on the Negro." We'll warrant, he will have trouble giving them away to others than members of the "Brigade" and those who seek to replace them in the positions they hold, unless a substantial cash bonus is offered with each copy of the book containing the distressing Taft speeches referred to. LINCOLN IN A TRUE LIGHT. President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation was a war measure, pure and simple. It was forced from him by the obstinacy of the rebellious south, which in the fall of 1862 refused to "lay down its arms within the 90 days" given by President Lincoln. He revoked the emancipation proclamations issued prior to his, by Gens. Hunter and Fremont, and as a result relieved the latter of his command of the Missouri, thereby sending him to an early and untimely grave and also doing what really ruined him financially. One will read ruined him financially. One will read "birth to death," and fall to find there in sufficient to justify our placing him in a class with Sumner, Garrison, Phillips, Beecher and their kind of aggressive friends of the race. Never the less, Abraham Lincoln was a great man, but not the greatest friend of OUR race, by a good deal. He is, the greatest, by a good deal. That he ever lived, with the possible exception of George Washington, because he (Lincoln) saved the Union. He said he would do so, at any cost—half slave and half free; or all slave, or all free. And he saved it, all free. This was his one all-absorbing object from the very beginning, and it was wholly devoid of consideration for, or sentiment as to the inquisitive institution of slavery or any other national evil. Lincoln so expressed himself emphatically, and repeatedly. What he did for this country—saving the Union, including the freeing of it from slavery, is what makes him great in history and the minds of people generally. It is well, however, that we understand his greatness and not continue to make the mistake persisted in ever since January 28, 1863, and credit the martyrred president, with the heart-interest, feelings and motives in the anti-slavery movement that prompted such men as Sumner, Garrison, Phillips, Lovejoy, Greely and others and that characterized their action to the end. DO NOT TAKE "THE CLEVELAND NEWS!" A communication signed "Student," which was evidently written by some one on the staff of the paper, appeared in The Cleveland News, one day this week, which vainly sought to excuse that malicious sheet for its use of the contemptibly derivive, mongrel word "Negrress," on the ground that Webster's dictionary contains a definition of it. In late years the same dictionary, because of the common use of the dirty word "nigger" by such prejudiced persons and publications as The Cleveland News, has contained a definition of it. Does that fact justify the use of either insulting term or word? We think not; in fact, we know it does not. The miserable word "Negrress" was used during slavery days to designate a female member of the race of mature years, just as the word "Buck" was used when reference was made to a young or older man of the race. Therefore the use of all such mongrel words or terms, in connection with THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1909. members of our race, whether in the newspapers or in conversation, are extremely obnoxious to the intelligent, thoughtful and best members of the race. Stop taking any paper that has no more respect for us than to use them, especially a sheet that seeks to excuse their use in such a weak and silly way as The News did this week. Only the person who has not read that paper during the past two or three years or some one who desires to mislead others, could possibly say: "I never saw an insulting thing in the paper (News) about the colored race." When it wishes our patronage, it can notify us by discontinuing the use of the derisive and insulting words and others, complained of. THE CRIME AGAINST REPUB LICANISM. Of the 22 delegates from the state of Alabama, in the fourteenth Republican national convention, held in Chicago last year, and which nominated President-elect Taft, 13 were federal office-holders. Ot the 10 delegates from Florida, 7 were federal office-holders. Of the 24 delegates from Virginia 8 were federal office-holders. Of the 26 delegates from Kentucky 8 were federal office-holders. 8 were federal office-holders. Of the 7 delegates from Maryland, Missouri and South Carolina, 12 were federal office-holders. Of the 7 delegates from New York, 16 were federal office-holders. Of the 54 delegates from Illinois, 12 were federal office-holders. The total salaries of the office-holding delegates aggregated about $750,000 annually. Here was a corruption fund of three-quarters of a million, which could be drawn upon when necessary for the purpose of controlling the action of the convention. Was not such a convention a national disgrace? Was it, in any just sense, a delegated Republican convention? Who selected the delegates? Did the delegates in this convention choose a president or did a president choose the delegates? Did the delegates should act in a body, it would only be necessary to get 287 of the other delegates to act with them to make a majority. If, then, the non-office-holding delegates had been opposed to the nomination of Taft by 200 majority; still, he could have been and would have been nominated over their heads. And this is Republicanism! Twenty-fourth Infantry Battalions Twenty-fourth Infantry Battalions. Buffalo, N. Y.—When the battalion of the Twelfth United States infantry now stationed at Fort Porter sets out on its long journey to the Philippe, Louisiana, where it will be relieved by two companies of the Twenty-fourth infantry, the big soldiers now stationed at Fort Ontario—the first time in the history of old Fort Porter that other than white troops have occupied its squad rooms. There are two other companies of the Twelfth United States infantry stationed, and these will be sent to Fort Niagara to relieve the third battalion of the Twelfth infantry now stationed there. The entire Niagara frontier will then be garrisoned entirely by Afro-American troops. They will re-occupy the area of the next fall of a battalion of the Twenty-fourth infantry, now in a Philippine station. There will be no hostile public sentiment here. Jeannette Will Fight McVey. Paris, France.-Joe Jeannette, who has fought Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson no less than seven times, once defeating him in two rounds on a foul, has arrived, and been received as a king by the French sporting men. Joe's many fights with the man who now holds the highest honors in pugilism stand him well with the promoters on this side of the ocean, and he will not be matched for fame. He has already been matched with Sam McVey for the last week in February. McVey's victories here have made him very popular. He is also an Afro-American. Bradford, Pa., Brevities. Rev.

Addis Abba, Abyssinia, Africa.—The reports recently circulated in Europe and America that King Menelik was desperately ill were exaggerated, but there is nothing in his condition to cause immediate alarm. What Time Has Done for This Great Man, In the Minds of the People. One hundred years ago the twelfth of this month a great man was born. There is no need to trace his history. You know it. Every child in the public schools has the wonderful story by heart, the story of a man whom circumstances could not bind, whom obstacles could not discourage, whom ridicule could not deter, whose height and breadth and depth of vision so far exceeded those about, him that, impervious to all without, guided only by that within, he followed the way we know not of. It is a question whether we of lesser vision see clearly even now, 50 years after his death, what his life has meant to the nation. We have seen enough to raise him above criticism, above censure, to place him among the heroes to which mankind is pleased to do a tardy justice. And we have seen enough to realize something of the bigness of our heart that makes him our greatest American. The lengthening perspective gained by the passage of each year has but added to his prestige, and none can forsee his final rank. N. We recognize, by applause and laurels, many forms of so-called greatness. We respect the man who achieves, whether the production be a symphony, a painting, a miraculous cure of disease, or the invention of a new cult. The teacher who evolves a new cult has always a devoted following; the scientific investigator—the philosopher—these have been accorded their meed of praise. Let all those who attempt be encouraged. This is wise and right, lest any good that can come to mankind be lost. But, in the last analysis, there is but one true measure of greatness. It is the ability to teach the teacher thousands years ago—and which we in our vanity oft forget. That measure is service. Tested by this standard the life of Abraham Lincoln stands out supreme above that of his fellows. Utterly forgetful of self, even to the disregard of his personal appearance, his mind, his character, his spirit, given freely without reserve to a nation which sorely needed him—February Delineator. Can't Fill the Order. Xenia, O.-Brinton Hurst, the cigar manufacturer, has received an order from the Kroger Grocery Co. of Cincinnati, for 16,000 cigars a week, but he has not accepted the order as yet, owing to the inability to handle it with his present capacity.

London, England—According to the printed announcement of the Moody-Matters Open Co. of England, one of the new operas to be presented for the first time this season is by S. Coleridge Taylor, the distinguished Anglo-African composer. The title of the opera is "Thelma." and deals with Norwegian life. This will be good news to the great number of Mr. Coleridge Taylor's friends in America. It will be remembered that Mr. Coleridge Taylor was born in London and educated here at the Royal College of Music, whose work is "Hia." Mr. Coleridge Taylor has visited America twice, and appeared in several large cities as conductor of his own compositions. The opera just mentioned is to be produced May 20 and June 4. It is gratifying to know that at present there are about 12 American Negroes in Europe studying some basic subjects. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE. Mulatto Girls. In fact all women who have light brown or creole colored skin will be surprised to learn that the new kind of Complexion Wonder called "Shell Pink" will give their cheeks a natural peach pink color.

The best thing about Complexion Wonder is that it affects superficial effects. M. B. Berger & Co. 2 Rector street, New York, will send it for 50 cents. They also supply for 50 cents the Wonder Comb and the Wonder Uncurl which makes kinky hair straight. Colored Cuban President. Havana, Cuba—The new house and senate of Cuba were organized on January 18 without hitch or connection to the American Hammurabi stonals.

Republicans in Legislature Will Insist on Bipartisan Investigating Columbus, O. — Speaker Mooney, of the house of representatives, will take no stand for or against any of the party measures to be fought out when the assembly reconvenes. He made positive declaration to this effect yesterday. He declared he had not tried to influence Representative Woods in any manner in regard to his resolution for a probe of the state departments by the governor, against which the Republican state organization is contending. In this as in other contests he would be absolutely neutral, he said. He said that in the matter of the probes of Cincinnati and Cleveland, he would see to it that they were given a fair trial on the floor of the house, and intimated that so long as he was speaker there would be no underhanded smothering of measures in committees. When things came to the floor of the house he declared he would be fair to both sides. There is now every evidence that the Woods measure will be fought by the Republicans as a party policy. The cry of the Republicans will be that if there is a state probe it must be by a bipartisan committee. Senator Mather, Republican floor leader of the senate, who is now in office, refused to make any statement on the matter, and that he had not considered it fully. He would not indicate how the Republican side of the senate may view it. Meantime, Representative Woods is standing pat and refuses to budge. TAUNTED UNTIL HE KILLS One White Scoundrel and Mortally Wounds Two Others—A Fearful Lesson. Cincinnati. O—Tauted and stoned night after night on his way to night school by white scoundrels, Atlas Tilford, 18, a servant in the home of United States Judge Thompson, slashed three of his persecutors last week Wednesday evening, killing one and mortally wounding two others. His employer, at whose home Tilford was arrested, came to the front in his defense when the lad was arraigned in police court last week Thursday on a charge of murder. Rev. Dudley W. Rhoades, at whose home the boy's mother is employed, also appeared in his behalf. The boy fainted when told one of his victims was dead and that the other two bodies were still missing. The school whose night sessions the lad had been attending. It developed that night after night he had been taunted and pestered by the white boys of the school, often stoned, and frequently jumped on as he passed a dark alley on his way from Mount Auburn, where Judge Thompson lives, to the school. He bore the taunts in the school, and last Wednesday night. The battle was witnessed by scopes of pupils of the night school, many of girls, who fled screaming in terror as the boy slashed out, in his own defense, with his clasp knife at his persecutors. When brought before Chief of Police Milliken the lad declared that he and another boy of the race, also a pupil in the night school, be a victim of asecution for a long time. Judge Thompson has employed Thomas Darby, a well-known attorney, to defend the lad. Sheriff Raids a Museum of Anatomy.

The mayor intimated that he would not permit the affair to become a “slugging” match.

A representative of The Gazette boarded a Wilson avenue car last week Friday evening while prayer meetings were being held in most of our churches, and while Prof. Cutler of Western Reserve university was securing a library in the Woodland avenue branch library, diagonally across the street from Haltnorth's hall. We were en route to hear the professor. Noticing a goodly number of our people, men, women and children on the car, we asked a young man of the race who was wearing a rather loud vest and who, although living in the east end of the city, was carried away from the street to East Thirtieth street in the patrol wagon one day last year, what was the attraction? He replied: "St Andrew's church dance at Haltnorth's hall." A little further investigation secured The Gazette representative the information that some auxiliary organization of St. Andrew's was giving a concert and ball at the hall, the court, and the jury, that my informant, the young man in question, was also en route there to participate in the dancing, particularly.

Apples for Advertising The Commercial club of North Yakima has decided on the plans for an active 1909 campaign for publicity. The governing board has issued an official call for six carloads of red apples to be sent out on a mission of advertising. The fruits are to be shipped to New York city, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston and other large market centers and displayed in various ways, in order to show the possibilities of the country and open new markets for the fruits. Growers are to receive $2.50 a box for all apples accepted. It is estimated that the cars will contain 630 boxes each, and the first cost of getting the exhibit in shape for inspection will approximate $10,000.—Seattle Post-Intelligence.

NEEDED IT FOR LUBRICANT. Somewhat Odd Use Would-Be Purchaser Had for Beer. This is one of the pet stories of W. R. Smith, general attorney for the Santa Fe, says the Kansas City Star. One must almost be a Kansan to get the real chuckle out of it. A man dropped into a Kansas drug store and asked for a bottle of beer. "All right," said the druggist, reaching for the "sign-up" book. "What reason shall I give?" "I'm not sick," said the purchaser. "Well, if you don't want it for medical purposes, do you want it for mechanical uses?" asked the druggist. "Sure, sure—for mechanical," was the reply. "Well, specify," went on the druggist. "H'm, h'm," muttered the buyer, scratching his head. "H'm—oh, yes, that's right—I want it to grease a buggy with." ITCHED FOR TWELVE YEARS. Eczema Made Hands and Feet Swell, Peel and Get Raw—Arms Affected, Too—Gave Up All Hope of Cure. Quickly Cured by Cuticura. "I suffered from eczema on my hands, arms and feet for about twelve years, my hands and feet would swell, sweat and itch, then would become callous and get very dry, then peel off and get raw. I tried most every kind of salve and ointment without success. I tried several doctors, but at last gave up thinking there was a cure for eczema. A friend of mine insisted on my trying the Cuticura Remedies, but I did not give them a trial until I got so bad that I had to do something. I secured a set and by the time they were used I could see a vast improvement and my hands and feet were healed in no time. I have had no trouble since. Charles T. Bauer, Volant, Pa., Mar. 11, 1908."

The Auctioneer's Hourglass An auctioneer of Philadelphia collects all sorts of objects pertaining to his ancient calling. He has, among other things, an interesting set of auctioneer's hourglasses. The auctioneer, a century or so ago, concluded a sale, not by saying "Going—going—gone!" and rapping the counter with his hammer, but it was his better method to turn up a free-running glass toward the end of the bidding, and to end the sale invocably when the sands ran out. This saved confusion and dispute. The auctioneer's glasses in the Philadelphia collection are picturesque. One is of tortoise shell and mother of pearl. Another is of amber and gold. A third is of teak and ivory. DIDN'T KNOW Coffee Was the Cause Many daily habits, particularly of eating and drinking, are formed by following our elders. In this way ill health is often fastened upon children. A Ga. lady says: "I had been allowed to drink coffee ever since I could remember, but even as a child I had a weak stomach, which frequently refused to retain food. "The taste of coffee was in my mouth all the time and was, as I found out later, the cause of the stomach reeling against food. "I now see that it was only from following the example of my elders that I formed and continued the miserable habit of drinking coffee. My digestion remained poor, nerves unstrung, frequent headache, and yet I did not suspect the true cause. "Another trouble was a bad, muddy complexion for which I spent time and money for creams, massaging, etc., without any results. "After I was married I was asked to try Postum, and would you believe it, i an old coffee toper, took to Postum from the very first. We made it right—according to directions on the pkg, and it had a most delicate flavor, and I once quit coffee, with the happiest results. "I now have a perfectly clear, smooth skin, fine digestion and haven't had a headache in over two years." "There's a R reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

To substantiate the assertion a picture is produced of the cathedral at Cologne, which is 160 meters in height, and next to it is placed a picture of the Zeppelin airship, standing on end, reaching away beyond the middle of the highest section of the steepe, and to within 28 meters of the apex. The picture also shows the Triumphal column at Berlin, 61 meters in height, and next to it the airship Parsifal, 50 meters high, as it stands on end. A. Needed Change. The navy department recently received from the commander-in-chief of the fleet an official communication relative to certain changes recommended by him to be made in the uniform shirt of the enlisted men.

"SOUTHERN ALBERTA IS A MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY." No stronger or better evidence can be given of the merits of a country than that which comes from the testimony of the settler who has determined to succeed. This is why we reproduce the following letter, which speaks for itself. These people were induced to go to Western Canada through the solicitation of a Canadian Government agent, who secured for them the low railway rates. "Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15-08. Mr. C. J. Merrybrough, Canadian Government Agency, 135 Adams Street, Chicago: We had audacity enough to tackle the proposition of buying four sections of land in Southern Alberta, thirty miles east of Clairsholm and heading up on the Little Bow, and our two boys each got a homestead adjoining. We fenced three sections and the two homesteads, and built a house, barn, corrals and granary, and have since enlarged some of these buildings. We have broken 200 acres of land, which has been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat, and our crop yielded only ten bushels to the acre, but the spring wheat went 24 bushels to the acre. In this country we must be prepared for storms and cold, at times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the whole the winter are mild; and while there are exceptional crops, it is fair to say that the average farmer can depend on having a yield in average years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre for spring wheat; and winter wheat in our immediate neighborhood yields from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre on the average. We have now quite a bunch of horses, over 50 in all, about 350 sheep, after having sold 140 for mutton this fall. We have 20 head of pure bred registered Shropshire, which are worth $20 each. The average price received for mutton sheep was $5.00 and a little over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a pound. We have about 30 head of cattle on our ranch now, and last winter they picked their entire living from our pasture, running to the straw stacks for shelter at night. "The increase of land values has been extraordinary. Our land four years ago cost a little less than $6.00 an acre. We have sold one section any more for less than $25.00 per acre, as we expect the railroad within four miles of our ranch within the next 18 months. Southern Alberta of Western Canada is a mighty good country for any man or woman who loves outdoor life, and who wants to get good returns for their labor and investment. "We have been pleased with our treatment from the Canadian Government, and can heartily commend Southern Alberta as a splendid country in which to locate. "Yours very truly, (Signed) "JAMES S. AINSLIE AND SONS." Mr. Sport—Here is a little something for you—drink a glass of beer to my health. Tramp—Light or dark?—Fliegende Blaetter. Would Bar the Judiciary. Young ministers sometimes say some very irreverent things when first they get in harness, but seldom are so broadly condemnatory as the young clergyman who was called upon to act as chaplain at the opening of a recent term of court down in Maine. After covering everything he could think of as appropriate to say from religion to law, he closed his prayer with the supplication: "And, finally, may we all be gathered in the happy land where there are no courts, no lawyers and no judges." Then they changed chaplains. Prof. Munyon says: Cure a cold and you prevent Consumption. His opinion is now shared by the leading physicians of the country, and the wonderful cures that are being made by Munyon's Cold Remedy have attracted the attention of the whole medical fraternity. These little sugar pellets break up a cold in a few hours, and almost universally prevent Bronchitis and Pneumonia. Awful! "We had such a protracted farewell," remarked So-and-So, "that I lost my train." "You should have left farewell enough alone," he remarked. For a moment they looked at him with the Chopin "funeral march" expression. But eventually they resolved to let him live.

Ask Her This Question "Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—"When I first began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you."—Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
