TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 33. 1. The walking costume illustrated is both useful and smart. The skirt is quite plain, and is cut a comfortable walking length. A great advantage in the coat is that it is high in the neck, and fastens over at the left side in a point; nine small buttons put closely together form the fastening. The entire coat is tight-fitting, a fur necklet adds a finish. Hat of soft felt, trimmed with velvet and quills. Materials required: 8 yards cloth 48 inches wide, 19 buttons, 5 yards coat lining. The simple but effective blouse is composed of lace and spotted net. For the yoke and collar, the net is tucked horizontally, and is edged with lace medallions, which are also taken in rows down the front of blouse; then net is finely tucked in between them.* Three frills of lace the sleeves. Materials required: $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard net 42 inches wide, 2 yards of medallions, 6 yards of lace for sleeves. The next shows a useful indoor-dress that would look well made up in blue cashmere; the skirt is tight-fitting round the hips, and just full enough to hang gracefully. A row of passementerie forms the trimming. The over-bodice is slit at all up side of back and front, also on the sleeve; passementerie completely edges it and covered buttons add to the trimming. Gulure lace forms the yoke and tight sleeves of under-slips. Materials required: 7 yards cashmere 46 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards lace, 2 dozen buttons, 9 yards passementerie.

Decorative Scheme That Is Proving Helpful to a Degree. There is a fashion in decoration that should be helpful to the woman who must fit short curtains to new windows. This is the idea of having deep decorative borders on fabrics of solid color. Separate borders can be bought at the large shops with surprising case by the woman who knows how to root out the artistic thing. They do not come for curtains as a rule, but they serve admirably. The foundation color is usually deep tinted, although some good patterns can be got with the foundation in natural crash tones. The color note is intended, of course, to harmonize with the room in which it is placed. The border may be fastened on by a double row of stitching close together, over which are big stitches with coarse thread of the foundation color, sewed as Bagdad strips are sewed. Some people omit the stitching, using only this coarse sewing. Simple Greek Coiffure of Paste, Mounted on Silver. Cross Bar Muslins Again in Favor. There is considerable rejoicing that the dainty cross bar muslins are being used more and more for milady's lingerie. The heavy thread in the weave lengthens the life of the garments wonderfully. Garments made of this outwear those made of nainsook or other plain sheer material. Initialed Lingerie. An embroiderer gives this rule for working initials on lingerie: Never use anything on cotton for embroidery but cotton. If the material is linen take care to use linen thread. Best results are obtained if, when padding is necessary, the same thread is used for this part of the work as for the embroidery proper. Colored Embroidery on Towels. There is a strong revival of colored embroidery on linen towelling. Dull blue, soft browns, plink and faded green initials are now seen on hand-some towels. These letters are worked in the middle of the end of the towel and can easily be done at home by even the beginner in embroidery. THE GAZETTE SEPARATE TUNIC A BLESSING. Can Be Used to Advantage in Altering Old-Fashioned Frocks. Clever women have found out that a separate tunic made of another material than the gown and draped over it is an excellent method of altering an old-fashioned frock. There are some skirts that are too short to be lifted up even for two inches on the bodice to give the empire effect, and they are too much out of style to wear as they are. If the skirt and bodice are put together by their linings and two or three folds of self-colored material neatly draped around the waist line in order to make it invisible the foundation work is finished. The tunic may be made of net, chiffon cloth, bands of net and embroidered satin or all-over lace edged with fur or gold galloons. This is cut with a seam down the middle of the back and neatly draped three inches above the waist line, headed with folds of the material or a piece of the trimming used eleswhere. This tunic drops from bust to knees and gives the exact line that it needs this winter on smart frocks. Turban Notes. The round-crowned turban in straw is a distinct favorite for early spring. Satin trimming shirred over cords is a favored decoration on the newest turban. The all-flower model lends itself most successfully to the large turban shape. A flat-crowned turban in rough black straw of unusual height is bound round with a narrow black velvet, ending in one huge rosette. The narrow stiff quill—in pairs—divides honors with the tight bunch of small roses as a middle front decoration for the straw turban. Small turbans fitting very low on the head are draped with black lace vells. Marking One's Belongings Marking One's Belongings. The fad of the day is to have all of one's belongings marked. The fastidious housekeeper translates this to mean that everything, from -wash clothes to umbrellas, one young bride even going so far as to have her initials neatly worked upon her dish towels. It is nice to have a special monogram designed for one if possible, which may be adapted to all the different articles and styles of marking required. It can be used in different sizes, carried out in hand embroidery in white mercerized cotton, and used at pleasure for table and household linen, lingerie, parasols, gloves, stockings, table covers and bureau scarfs. Embroidery In General: Some very exquisite centerpieces are being made in a combination of stitches. The use of coronation braid intermingled with solid embroidery and French knots is rich in effect. One edge shows a row of heavy stem stitch just inside of the buttonholed finish, and another buttonholed edge is finished in long uneven scallops with a second row exactly like it a half inch further in.

CUR SOLDIERS ARE REINSTATED CUR SOLDIERS ARE REINSTATED THE FORAKER-ALDRICH "BROWNSVILLE" BILL AS PASSED IN CONGRESS. NOW IT IS JUDGE R. H. TERRELL District of Columbia's Municipal Court —Its Only Afro-American Member —Senator Foraker's Great Sacrifice and Great Victory—Heflin's Case. Special to The Gazette Washington, D. C.—Justice of the Peace Robert H. Terrell (husband of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell), who was recently appointed a member of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, will receive a salary of $2,500 a year. Judge Terrell is a graduate of Harvard college, the college of which Theodore Roosevelt is an alumnus, which he (Terrell) entered in 1880, and when he graduated in 1884 he was the first Afro-American who had ever taken part in the commencement exercises of Harvard. In 1889 ROBERT H. TERRELL. when he graduated in law, Secretary Windom gave him a place as chief clerk in the treasury department. Later he became principal of one of the public schools here. In 1901 Press ident Resselt had him appointed a justice of the peace of this city, which position he held until he appointed him a judge of the new municipal court. On the 24th ult. the five judges met and appointed F. G. Aukam (white) clerk of the court, completing its organization. The judges will be "housed" in one building properly equipped at an early date. Congress has provided for this. Provisions of the "Brownsville" Law. Provisions of the "Brownville" Law. The Foraker-Aldrich "Brownville" bill which passed the senate week before last on Thursday, and which was made a law by the house last Saturday, was a court of inquiry of five army officers not below the rank of colonel who shall be authorized to hear and report upon all charges and testimony relating to the alleged Brownville affray of August 13-14, 1906. Said court shall, within one year from the date of its appointment, make a report to the commissioners, shall make partial reports, to the secretary of war of the results of such inquiry, and such soldiers and noncommissioned officers of Companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth regiment United States infantry, who were discharged without honor from the military service, as said court will be made to report to the commissioners, shall thereby become eligible for re-enlistment. Any who shall be made eligible, shall, if re-enlisted, be considered to have re-enlisted immediately after his discharge and to be entitled, from the date of his discharge without honor, to the pay, allowances, and other benefits, and have been entitled to receive according to his rank from said date of discharge as if he had been honorably discharged and had re-enlisted immediately. A wonderful victory for Senator Foraker, our great and good friend who on Thursday paid the penalty by being retired from the United States Army, and we CARE we EVER forget or repay him? I think not. GRAND MAN! As an orator, statesman and jurist, undoubtedly one of the greatest in all the history of this country. Congressman Tom J. Heflin of Alabama is seeking to escape prosecution under the indictment pending charging him with assault to kill Louis Lundy, an Afro-American, in a local street car march 27. Unless the attorneys for Lundy and prominent lawyer Robert McCormick that Heflin be punished he is likely to escape trial. The Alabama congressman has set up the claim that his principal witness is out of the country and will not be able to attend the trial. He is also charged with the Russian Princess Arnheim, who was formerly Miss George Jeffrey, whom Heflin now says was insulted on the car owing to Lundy's language. She married a Russian prince in Canton, China, last December. United States Attorney Banker denies that there is likely to be some delay in trying Heflin because of the absent witness. Hero Hobson's Speech. Under a special rule, the house of representatives last Saturday passed the Forker-Aldrich bill. One hour and a half was allotted to debate and in that time many three-minute speeches were made. Among those who spoke was Capt. Richard Carr, a Richmond carrouse ruler, the house, strongly advocating the passage of the bill. He said: "Mr. Speaker, these three minutes will cost me a contest in my district, and may cost me my seat in congress. I wore the uniform of the United States for 18 years, and I have never known a case where an officer or an enlisted man was punished severely without a court of inquiry. I know that enlisted men were punished to the extent of 30 days' imprisonment without a court-martial—to dishonorably dismiss a man without a court-martial is unheard of. When these (alleged) crimes were committed at Brownsville, the president of the United States could have ordered all offenses against a main within barracks and could have ordered a court of inquiry, followed by a court-martial, which held on the spot without delay, would no doubt have established the guilt or innocence of all the men, and would have been found to have concealed or abetted the guilty, he could have been denied did not proceed in this regular, legal way. He scattered the men to the four winds, and thus prevented the ends of justice. These men have never had a chance to appear before a court of inquiry; never before a court of inquiry. This bill provides the least that can be done for the cause of justice." "Mr. Speaker, I saw black men carrying our flag on San Juan Hill; I have seen them before Manila. A black man took my father, wounded, from the field at. Chancellerville, Black men remained on my grandfather's plantation after the proclamation of the mother and grandmother. The white man is supreme in this country; he will remain supreme. That makes it only the more sacred that he should give absolute justice to the black man who is in our midst. (Loud applause.) I submit it to the conscience of my colleagues. This ought not to be made a party measure. We are standing here on the old justice, where all men are the same. It is justice that links man to the divine. Whether the heavens fall or the earth melt away, while we live let us be just." (Loud applause.) ARE YOU A BASS DRUM?

We have only three Afro-American public school teachers and a new school is built each year. There will be a accomodation so reoer it will fit. It will be the place to fill it. (Cleveland has about 15 Afro-American public school teachers.) Wanted!—Young男 of the race to fit themselves to carry mall, fill postoffice clerkships and hustle for it. It will be the place to fill of the City hall officials. You'll not find these positions on the street corners, in poolrooms and saloons, but rather by the book route.

C.-Anticipating favorable action by congress on one of the supply bills to pay the expenses of the proposed commission to Liberia to investigate the report on conditions there, the executive department has asked the following named persons to report C.

IN UNION THE LEGS STRONGER HOPEFUL VIEW OF A GREAT WRITER THE COLOR QUESTION TO DISAPPEAR IN TWENTY YEARS. SAYS SIR HARRY JOHNSTON Who Has Studied the Question In Both Africa and America—The South's "Stale Nonsense"—its "Parrot-Cry"—Evidences of Our Progress. That there will be no color question in the United States in 20 years, and that the difficulties of the problem at present are aggravated by the ignorance and prejudices of the southern whites is the view of Sir Harry Johnston, an experienced British colonial administrator who has studied the black race both in Africa and on this continent. He believes in their capacity as civilized, educated and useful members of a white republic. The southern white people have not sufficiently considered these points, he thinks, and we read in his summary of his investigations in the London Times: "The Negro is destined to be noth ing but a heaver of wood and a drawer of water is that the parrot-cry that unrestricted ignorant white southern politician utters oratorically and in the press. Fortunately, there are many thousand sane, educated, far-sighted white men and women in the south who know better. And all the time this stale nonsense is being repeated there are Negro doctors, electricians, botanists, agronomists, musicians, poets, preachers, teachers, lawyers, maisons, cabinet makers, mechanicians and chemists at work giving the lie to this work out expression." He points out finally what he considers to lie at the foundation of all the excited discussion of the Negro question, and he tells us in plain words: "I am the southern white man and woman who require a better education almost more than the Negro. The far-reaching, magnificently modern culture of the northern and northeastern states needs no praise from me; and I have no personal experience of the west. But, putting aside the fine fleur of intelligence which, of course, is present in individuals all over the world, I confess I was astonished at the childish ignorance, manifested both in the press and on the platform, which characterizes the southern and central states in all matters but those immediately concerning the borough or the plantation. And it is a self-satisfied ignorance, one that boasts that the affairs of Europe, Asia, Africa and America are more important to the citizens of America. It is this narrow, eminently provincial intellect (often unhappy permeating state governments, federal congress, and senate) that causes all the trouble and exacerbation over the Negro question, as over any general, far-reaching proposition such as plans for the development of internal waterways and roads, or the intelligent conduct of state, federal and foreign relations. "When the south closes down all stale discussion of that indefensible civil war and matches the physical beauty and vigor of its white population with an equally high mental development, the United States will be finally solved and kept in a state of solution—assuming, of course, that the Negro likewise continues to advance on the lines laid down by the white and colored teachers of Tuskegee and Hampton." The Times editorially comments on the romance and says that President Roosevelt has also might path in regarding the issue as a moral one. Thus we read: "The optimistic view taken by Sir Harry Johnston of the progress he has noted is significant when it comes from a man of his authority. The difference between the Negro in America and the African American Male is be conspicuous; but it is, at any rate, a difference, the existence of which has not, we believe, been hitherto appreciated fully. This consideration, together with evidence that the gravest charges brought against the southern Negro are sometimes exaggerated and sometimes untrue, offers a basis for argument, and something of President Roosevelt as an expression of the best opinion in the United States, the American people are determined to treat their Negro fellow citizens not only according to the guidance of history, but also according to the light of conscience. The Negro is not down into a purely political issue. Like every great political issue, it is also a moral issue." This writer has confirmed not only President Roosevelt's view, but that of every Englishman, declares the London Spectator, in which we find the following comment: "He has been a administrator and scientific observer has watched the Negro carefully in Africa, tells us that the assumption by the southern states of America that the Negro is 'a hopeless proposition' is based on no just evidence of any kind, that it is in fact will prejudice, and that the effect of civilized surroundings on the American population is more favorable in the racial type. This type in America has higher moral and intellectual faculties than the original stock to be found in Africa, and these might easily be made higher still by humane and reasonable treatment. This conclusion is of course, only in accordance with the long-established feelings and feelings of Englishmen, but it is a satisfaction, a courage and confirmed by so competent a witness as Sir Henry Johnson—Literary Digest, N.

A woman cannot have too many of these useful garments in her wardrobe, and, though every year there is a report, that the separate waist will be no longer fashionable, it is always proved false, for the separate waist has proved so convenient as well as becoming and economical, that the sensible women still include it in many materials in their spring outfit. The one illustrated is particularly adaptable to the more dressy waists of fine batiste, organdie, Persian lawn or nainsook, and the center should be stamped with some pretty conventional design and hand embroidered with mercerized cotton in white. If desired, the sleeves may be made in seven-eighths length, with the cuff of allover lace or embroidery matching the insertion used on the waist. The required fullness is supplied by a tuck, which extends over each shoulder, being stitched to yoke depth in front, and to the waist line in the back. The closing is made under the box-plait at the center-back, a slight gathering being made at the waist line to hold the fullness in position. The pattern is in seven sizes—32 to 44 inches bust measure. For 35 bust the waist requires 3¾ yards of material 20 inches wide, three yards 27 inches wide, two yards 36 inches wide, or 1% yard 42 inches wide; 4¾ yards of insertion. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pittsburgh Department" of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern. NO. 2765. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN.....

The fullness of the front and back is distributed in groups of tucks, two tucks to each group; stitched to a trifle below koe depth, and the lower edge is slightly gathered to hold the fullness in position. The tight-fitting sleeves, finished in a point over the hands, are also tucked in groups of two, and are finished with a band of insertion or embroidery, according to the material used in the development of the waist, the high collar being trimmed with similar insertion. The pattern is in three sizes—13 to 17 years. For a miss of 15 years the waist requires $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 20 inches wide; $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 27 inches wide, two yards 36 inches wide or $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard 42 inches wide; $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard of insertion.

Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county, Tex., is an ardent friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the following terms: "Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have come to be the best, of not the only reliable remedy for COUGHS, COLDS, CATARRH and diarrhea. "Peruna has been my stand-by for many years, and I attribute my good health and my extreme age to this remedy. It exactly meets all my requirements." "I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be especially valuable to old people." LIVE AND LEARN. Farmer Meddergrass—Waal, by clover! I knew them Chinese lived on 'other side o' th' airth but hang me if I knew they had a through route! HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA. Face and Neck Were Raw—Terrible Itching, Inflammation and Soreness—All Treatments Failed. Cuticura Proved a Great Success "Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so inflamed and sore that I had to put a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth a sort of yellow. The eczema itched so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearson's, North field, Vt., Dec. 19, 1907." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston They Meant Business. A Chicago stage manager was telling of amusing incidents of blunders and errors caused by stage fright. In a romantic play, recently revived, one of the minor characters, a dairy maid, comes forward at the end of a recital of a love romance, and comments as follows: "Hope filled their youths and whetted their love; they plighted their troth!" But at one of the performances the girl who played the dairy maid was absent without notice. At the last moment the manager gave the lines to a shepherdess, who had never had lines to speak before, and who was excessively nervous when her cue came. This is what the astonished audience heard: "Hope filled their trough and blighted their love; they whetted their tooth!" Argument That Won. Susle had been promised a pair of new slippers for Sunday. Anxious to have them at once she had tried in every way to persuade her mother to buy them for her and let her wear them to a children's party that was to be given on Wednesday, but without success. Finally when both she and her mother had become tired of the teasing the little girl said: "Well, mamma, you needn't get them now; but maybe I'll be dead by Sunday and if I am you'll be sorry for disappointing me." Susle wore the slippers Wednesday. NEW IDEA Helped Wis. Couple. It doesn't pay to stick too closely to old notions of things. New ideas often lead to better health, success and happiness. A Wis, couple examined an idea new to them and stopped up several rounds on the health ladder. The husband writes: "Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, were sleepless, nervous, sallow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought it was a bracer." (delusion.) "Finally, after years of suffering, we read of Postum and the harmfulness of coffee, and believing that to grow we should give some attention to new ideas, we decided to test Postum. "When we made it right we liked it and were relieved of ills caused by coffee. Our friends noticed the change — fresher skin, steadier nerves, better temper, etc. "These changes were not sudden, but relief increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost the desire for coffee. "Many of our friends did not like Postum at first, because they did not make it right. But when they boiled Postum according to directions on pkg., until it was dark and rich, they liked it better than coffee and were benefited by the change." "There's a Reason."

The census branch of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada has completed its returns of the showing of Western Canada's grain yield for 1908, and the reports make very interesting reading. In the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may be known as Central Canada, there was a total wheat yield of about 107,000,000 bushels, worth to the farmer about $55,000,000; in addition to this the oat, barley and flax crops were worth another $25,000,000. Letters have been received from many of the settlers from the United States. From these, that of Rev. Oscar L. King has been selected. He lives in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says will be of interest to those who contemplate moving to Central Canada. Every line of the letter is interesting. Those who wish for the particulars as to how to secure homesteads and preemptions should write any Canadian Government agent. Mr. King says: "Mr. M. V. McInnes, Detroit, Michigan: I am well satisfied with Alberta. This country offers excellent opportunities for anyone to make a good home for himself and family if he is willing to put up with a few hard knocks for the first two or three years. But it is worth a few hard knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich, productive land with no mortgage on it. This province is well fitted for grains, stock raising and dairying. We have found the climate generally healthful, more healthful than Michigan, and although the thermometer sometimes drops to 40 degrees below zero in winter, yet we do not seem to feel that temperature any more than we did 5 or 10 degrees below zero in Michigan. We like the winters. "The Government takes great interest in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in establishing schools where they are called for. The schools, though graded differently than those in the States, are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback has been the limited and inadequate railway facilities, but new roads are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country. If those new settle who have to go back a considerable distance from existing railroads and towns to find free homesteads will but locate along the line of a projected railroad they will in two or three years both to railroad and railroad. When I first came to this country three and a half years ago the homestead I took was 75 miles from a railroad town; now there is a railroad 25 miles north, another 25 miles south, and a third is being built through my neighborhood.
