MOIRE COATS MUCH WORN. Daintily Adorned and Fastened with Jewelled and Enameled Buttons. Smart Parisian women are wearing attractive moire silk coats over one piece frocks of cloth. They are made after the directoire style, cut away from the waist line in front to a long point in the back. They have richly embroidered waist-coats and revers and are fastened with jeweled and enameled buttons. The sleeves are scanty and are finished with a roll-back cuff. Some of the coats are trimmed with long lines of buttons, which are of the material. One excellently good-looking model is of ash gray moire silk worn with a gown of chiffon broadcloth in the same exquisite shade. It is short in front and slopes away nearly to the hem of skirt in the back. The wide collar, long, narrow revers and waistcoat are of apricot panne velvet, embroidered with silver bullion. There are turn-back flare cuffs, caught with big more buttons, and long lines of smaller buttons trim the back of the coat. The hat worn with this costume is of apricot satin, rolled away from the face on the left side, trimmed with a band of silver tissue and a loosely black algrete caught with a wide, barbaric silver buckle. FOR THE SEPARATE WAIST. Style Must Either Be Extremely Lingerie or Severely Tailored. To show the unsettled state of the fashions just now, one authority announces that this is to be a season of the lingerie waist par excellence, while another equal in authority says, "with the crepes and thin cottonts, exquisite mulls and dainty foulards that are shown in charming combination of plain colors lingerie gowns are to be rather out of the running." However, one thing seems to be as assured. There is to be no half-way business. The waist must be very "lingerie," or it must be severely tailored. For the former, French valenciennes, hand-made Irish and Cluny laces, and fine hand embroidery are used in as great profusion as one's time and purse will allow. Morning waists of the tailored vairely are mostly of white shirting linen or striped madras, fastened down the front with Pearl buttons. Often the white ones have Cluny lace set in down the front on each side of the middle plait, and in the turn over collar and cuffs. The colored ones are usually untrimmed, except for lengthwise tucks of various widths. A POPULAR TOQUE This striking little model is of white fox. The only trimming is the two black Mephisto quills, fastened at the left of front with a huge cabachon. Cushion Covers. Burlap and craftsman's canvas are much used for cushion covers, and really beautiful effects may be brought out with very little effort. A design, conventional or otherwise, cut from cretone and applied with an embroidery stitch, will make a brave showing at the expense of little time or trouble. Another cock feathers drown diagonally across the pillow and worked with mercerized thread in natural colorings. Craftsman canvas is one dollar a yard up, 50 inches wide. Burlap is inexpensive.

As baby's little cambric night slip flannel dressing gown and night peti-tcoat were removed, his mother hung the tiny garments on a pretty little rack which hung from the back of the chair on which stood the dressing basket. When his lordship's morning toilet had been made, it was the work of an instant to lift the little rack from the chair to a place beside an open window where the crib belongings were also aliring. The handy little rack was made of half a window-shade roller, wound with ribbon and provided with a ribbon hanger, to which was sewed a big hook for attaching to the chair back. Smaller hooks were screwed into the roller at even distances and on these the tiny night garments were hung. Buttons That Last. Use white lace buttons on thin dresses and blouses. The eyes cannot break, there are no shanks to pull out, and above everything else, they cannot be wrung off in the clothes wringer. The last trouble is something that perplexes the average housewife, who must always replace buttons after the return of the week's washing. These buttons are not new on the market by any means, but they are not as universally used as they should be. Good for Boys. Tan stockings and shoes are much more stylish for spring wear than plain black, and are specially suggested for boys, who do not wear white after seven or eight years. In socks the stripes in contrasting colors are more popular, although a great variety in design and in coloring has been worked into the new models. The plain socks are not much on view although later they must inevitably appear. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. AS TO DEMOPUPS NEAR DEMOCRATS AS TO DEMOPUPS NEAR DEMOCRATS AND PRESIDENT TAFT'S CONFER- ENCES WITH SOUTHERN DEMO- CRATIC SENATORS. ON SOUTHERN APPOINTMENTS Who Collector Crum's Successor is— White and Black Republicans in the South "Marooned" as Well as Disfranchised—Some Interesting Reading. Washington, D. C.—Some time ago I published that it was Mr. Taft's plan, basing the action on an argument of fitness and public good, to abandon largely the colored brothers of the south in his office filling and name white Democrats instead. In line with this Mr. Taft has by note called upon Senators Bailey and Culbertson of Texas, Foster P. McBerny of Louisiana, John H. Bankhead of Alabama and Smith and Tillman of South Carolina to assist him with their recommendations and commends in distributing the pie for their states. The so-called Republican "leaders," for the greater part colored men, are Dr. Crum. in political election, Mr. Taft will not listen to them, doesn't want to hear from them. Will Consult Democratic Senators. Senator Smith has already called upon Mr. Taft twice by the latter's request. After having seen Mr. Taft the second time he talked like this: "I can fully convinced that the president" means "to confer freely with Democratic senators from some of the southern states as to the federal offices in those states, and that his policy will be to give careful attention to a voice of a majority of the people. "Appointments in the south will not be made with reference to the politics of the candidate, and he will seek only the best man, whatever their party faith." It is time for the white Democrats to come forward, time for the colored man to step back. The latter, I should say, is to be politically man- Taft Cannot Recede. The protests of the colored elements are flowing in. Mr. Taft shrugs his shoulders, shakes his head. Mr. Hitchcock, practical politician and, per incident, postmaster general, is worried. He reasons that the colored delegate has been the controlling force in every Republican national convention for 20 years and fears nominally for 1912. Mr. Taft, however, has said too much, gone too far to recede, and the dark risk an imminent threat to him must be taken. Mr. Taft expects to lose black votes, also he expects to make two white votes grow where but one black vote grew before, and in that way leave the party south much stronger than he found it. This may be good politics, but isn't it a little hard on the colored brothers? Near-Democrat Gets Place. The South Carolina selection of Mr. Durant as collector of the port of Charleston settles divers doubts. It disposes of Mr. Crum and per incident the Negro question so far as the whole amount that straws are valuable as showing the direction of the wind, Mr. Durant's nomination is worth a moment's study. His Minnesota father was a Democrat until Mr. Bryan came along. After that he became a Cleveland Democrat and followed the Palmer-Buckner dead wagon in 1896. Later he put his Democracy away in the mothballs and voted for Mr. McKinley. Mr. Durant, the son, just named to collect the Charleston port money by Mr. Taft, removed the mothballs from the almighty snake state some seven years ago. He has not been evident in South Carolina politics. It was known, however, that if he weren't wholly a Democrat he at least fell far short of being wholly a Republican. Upon the Negro question, the political touchstone of South Carolina, he was all that the rice field heart could wish. While not so verbally ferocious as Senator Tillman, he was inclined to regard the colored brother, the moment he aspired to be anything but a white man, the water, as a subject of distrust. This was especially true when the colored brother compelled consideration politically. Only Republicans Dissatisfied. Every white Democrat in South Carolina, Mr. Tillman with the rest, is pleased by the selection of Mr. Durant. The Tillman was consulted around the committee. Republicans are dissatisfied. The Durant selection is regarded by wise men as but the beginning of a long list of white Democrat appointments to be made by Mr. Taft throughout the south. It has, too, another significance. That Charleston collectorship was the bone over which Mr. Roosevelt and the senate wrangled for years. Mr. Roosevelt insisted upon the African Mr. Crum. The senate. led for that particular battle by Mr. Tillman, that the last refused to confirm. The Durant nomination means that Mr. Taft has turned his back upon the Roosevelt example and the colored Republicans of the south. Also it confirms that we was printed there as a few years ago about Mr. Taft being eagerly willing to trade bodily the Republican for the Democratic party in every southern state. Mr. Taft in this latter ticklish barter should step safely, slow and sure. The deal he offers has its slippery features. It might would take his offices and still continue to be Democrats with vigor unabated.-Alfred Henry Lewis in Chicago Daily Examiner. ANOTHER EMANCIPATION! Georgia Ende Its Barbaric Convict Lease System — Many Prayed and West for Joy. A FORAKER SCHOLARSHIP For Wilberforce University and a Work of Art by Henry O. Tanner —A Splendid Suggestion. Moro. Ore., April 5, 1909. Hon Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette.—Dear Sir: There are two suggestions I should like to make to the Afro-Americans. The first refers to their giving Senator Foraker loving-cups as a token of their gratitude to him. I know he appreciates them and will cherish them and his children for their kindness. Also, they are useless. Now, suppose a free scholarship in law at Wilberforce were provided. I mention law, because he is a lawyer, and Wilberforce, because it is in his home state, which he loves as a son loves his mother. But if there are any good reasons for a change, another university, be chosen. The choob should be known to the Josephson Foraker scholarship, and either on entering or at graduation an essay or oration dealing with his life should be required. So, through all the years, his name would be honored by some of the brightest of the race, and this constant holding him as a model could not but work good to him. He is an ideal American, a Christian and a gentleman. In the second place, we have among our Afro-Americans one among the best living artists, a painter, and his specialty seems to be large group pictures. What better subject for his brush than that scene in the senate chamber last April 1909? He is an ideal justice for that wronged battalion? Let him "paint the likeness of our chief, not in galley or grief, but fierce defiance let him be hurling at our enemies." "A brutal tyrann sworn to smile A people, struggling for their right. Our hero dared him to the field. Content to die, but not to yield." The crowded galleries of the sen- ate with their mingled white and black faces, maniacal and the group of handsome-leaders in the rear with the handsome gallant figure of Foraker in the foreground as he de- veloped that splendid peroration: "They ask no favors because they are Negroes, but only for justice because they are men," would make an ideal man, a man who took part are living, so he could make genuine portraits, is the ideal time. Yours truly and sincerely, MRS. PATRICIA BOBISON. ITALIANS ENGAGE IN BATTLE One Man Was Killed and Four Men and a Woman Injured at West Clarion, Pa. Brockwayville, Pa.—Jim Patsie was killed and four men and a woman were injured at West Clarion, a small town in this county, in a battle fought by Italians among themselves. Sunday night festivities were in progress at one of the homes, with card playing and beer drinking, when Patsie arrived. He was thrown out and disappeared, returning later with a shotgun and several friends. A battle followed between those in the house and those outside, in which Patsie was almost instantly killed. As he fell he fired, lodging a charge from his shotgun in the breast of Joe Cheffi, from which he is not expected to recover. Four others, including a woman, were wounded slightly with knives and bullets before the police stopped the battle.

IN UNION THE STRONGEST ROBERT M. BURGESS President of the "Brownsville" Court of Inquiry, Referred to at Length in The Gazette of April 3, 1909. None of the "brownsville" courts were ever officers in Afro-American regiments; although all have a splendid standing in the army, some, if not all of them, being retired members of it. All were originally northerners with the exception of one, as stated in our last issue, and all are now in the army. That is, What their treatment of the members of "The Black Battalion" will be, regardless of the facts stated above, remains to be seen, and will not be known until after the year's life of the "Brownsville" court of inquiry has expired. We can only hope for the president, The Zioner, however, seem to be President Taft's publicly expressed sympathy with ex-President Roosevelt's outrageous persecution of our discharged-without-honor soldiers, and the fact that his present secretary of war is a southern Democrat (from Tennessee) who supported William Jennings Bryan for the presidency last fall and continued to boast of his unadulterated Democracy, his connection with the confederate army during the war of the rebellion, and also his membership in a Mississippi confederate-veteran camp. LUMBER IS NOT WASTED SO DECLARES HEAD OF WEYER- HAUSER LUMBER INTERESTS. REPLIES TO A CONGRESSMAN Excessive Taxes Upon Standing Timber Caused Denuding of Timber Lands in the Northwest. St. Paul, Minn.—Excessive taxes upon standing timber, and not the rapacious wastefulness of lumbermen, have caused the denuding of the timber lands in the northwest, according to Frederick Weyerhauser, head of the varied Weyerhauser lumber interests. He made this statement yesterday apropos of the attack upon Minnesota lumbermen last Friday in the house of representatives by Congressman C. R. Davis. Mr. Weyerhauser said: "The reason it is impossible for us to keep timber standing long is that a lumberman in this country must pay taxes not only upon his land, but upon whatever timber may be upon the land. Lumbermen have not planted young trees to take the place of the old because, just as soon as the young trees get big enough to be seen by the assessor, the same old timber tax becomes payable. We would have to hold growing trees at least 100 years before we make good lumber out of them. A reform of our timber land taxes is needed. We should imitate the laws of Europe, where growing timber is not taxed at all before it becomes suitable for lumber." OLD ARMY CAPTAIN SUICIDES Leaves Letter Addressed to His Wife in Which He Said He Had Not Enough Money for Two. New York City—Leaving a letter addressed to his wife in which he explained his act by saying that reverses of fortune had cut down his competence until not enough of it was left for two, Chambers M. Craig, a retired captain of the United States army, last night committed suicide in his apartments by shooting. "The time has now arrived," said Capt. Craig in his letter, "when there must come the inevitable smash which always follows living beyond one's means. If the hard times had not put an end to my opportunities I would have gone on for a year or more. I have made a little money and leave a little for you. I wish you the greatest happiness, and I wish I could remain with you; and I am confident that matters will be all right with you. But there is not enough for two. You will realize $75 a month some times and other times there is $125 a month." Capt. Craig was a native of Pittsburg. New Judge Sworn In. Cincinnati, O. — John W.

One Year 81.59 Six Months 1.00 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. That is an excellent suggestion that Mrs. Patricia Robison makes in a communication published elsewhere in this paper. Some of our southern newspapers are just beginning to realize the fact that Collector Crum, for the good of the race, ought not to have resigned. President Taft's new southern policy is being unmercifully roasted by a great majority of the best Republican newspapers, north and south Good! Now that Georgia has led the way by ridding itself of its feasting social sore, its convict-lease system, it is in order for every other southern state which permits that relic of barbism to exist within its confines, to follow suit, and abolish the same. This is one of the things necessary to be done to prove that their boasted civilization really does exist. "Sam" Langford of Boston knocked out John Willie (white) of Chicago, Saturday evening, in the second round of what was to have been a six-round bout in the National Athletic club, Philadelphia, Pa. Langford seems to be "mowing them down" at the rate of one a week. No wonder Stanley Ketchell (white), the alleged middle-weight champion, "side-steps" Langford, who is generally admitted to be the best in the middle-weight class. Last week Thursday evening, according to Miss Mary Abond (white) of East Twenty-second street, this city, an Afro-American snatched her pocket-book, knocked her down and kicked her brutally several times in the scuffle which ensued. On the following day a crowd chased Harry Reese for one-fourth of an hour along East Ninth street, until captured by two policemen on Euclid avenue, near East Sixth street. He was arrested and charged with cutting two men who were taken to Marine hospital. Reese got in an altercation with them as the result of a pool game in a room on East Ninth street, near Central avenue, the police say, and finished his job in the street. Again we call our people of this community's attention to the fact that there is entirely too much of this sort of thing here of late, and that it is about time for the better element to begin to consider ways and means to put an end to at least some of it. Mob violence is invariably the outgrowth of such criminal acts. Innocent people are, as a rule, the greatest sufferers, as the result of such outbreaks. PORTUGUESE AND AMERICAN SLAVERY. Slavery, similar to peonage in the south, is rampant in the Portuguese islands of S. Thome and Principe, on the west coast of Africa, and has caused three of the largest British cocoa firms to withdraw their patronage, so bad are the conditions prevailing. The unfortunate creatures (slaves) are brought from the interior of Africa in gangs, chained together, for hundreds of miles along a barren track, where death awaits them from hunger, thirst and disease at every turn. The path through the "Hungary Country" is strenwn with bones and skulls. The remnants of gangs are taken to the so-called "emigration agents" established at various points in the country, under Portuguese regulations, and then forwarded to other agents on the coast. The slaves destined for the islands are brought before a Portuguese official, and are asked whether they are willing to work on the island for five years. Not the slightest attention is paid to their answers, and, entering the office as slaves they are shipped off as "contract laborers." The slaves die on the islands at the rate of one in five every year. At the end of the five years for which they are contracted the survivors are called up before an official and informed that they are contracted for another five years. The last sentence or two of the above is also a true story of southern peonage and the convict-lease system of that section—in free America, if you please. Receiver for Yarker' Estate Receiver for Yerkes Estate. New York City—A receiver was appointed yesterday by Judge Ware in the United States circuit court for the estate of Charles T. Yerkes, as a result of an action brought by the London Underground Railway Co. Man and Horses Killed. Waterloo, In. — While driving I a buggy yesterday near Laporte, In. Benjamin Brandt, 16 years old, was killed by a bolt of lightning that also slew his horses and demolished the buggy. "Here is assurance of justice for all parties concerned. The rank of the officers, their long experience in army life and their high personal characters leave the officers with the discharged soldiers, or for other and impartial effort to fix the blame for the Texas tragedy. And justice is all that anybody should desire. Here is full answer, too, to those who saw in the Foraker bill only a sly way to readmit all the troopers who were apprehended upon not to slight its work. It knows the proper procedure, and will show the courage of its knowledge. It will sit neither to rebuke the action of Mr. Roosevelt nor confirm it, but to try the case on its mer- Well, we hope so, but shall wait and see! President Taft's secretary of war (Dickinson) who appointed the court of inquiry is an ex-rebel and a Tennessee Democrat who boasts of his support of William Jennings Bryan last fall, and of his loyalty to all Democratic candidates ever since he became a voter. Then, too, Taft was with Roosevelt and against Senator Foraker and "The Black Batallion" in the Brownsville matter. He made this clear repeatedly in public interviews, letters, statements and speeches. To date, the white soldiers of the army (outside of those in the war department. Major Bloksom and possibly one or two others) have stood by our "discharged - without - honor" soldiers like true comrades, and we have nothing but praise for them. But it remains to be seen how much (if any) the great and baneful influence of an inimical president and secretary of war will effect the work of a court of inquiry, they have selected and appointed. All the members of it are on the retired list and are now residents of Washington, D. C. Gen. Young is from Pennsylvania, and rose from the ranks. Gen. Sanger is from Michigan, and was appointed to the army from civil life. Gen. Schwan was born in Germany and rose from the ranks. Gen.

THE LIBERIAN COMMISSION Liberia, unlike the Negro republic of Haiti, is a nation called into being artificially by the efforts of philanthropists. Americans were responsible for Liberia in the first place, and they were not shaken off. For three generations the Liberians have maintained themselves practically cut off from civilization, and certainly deserve large credit. At present the difficulties ahead of the little republic seem almost insurmountable. Liberians fear that the end of national existence is not far distant unless outside aid and advice be tendered. In their trouble it was natural that they look to the United States has shown no effort to shirk its moral responsibility. Just what this country can do for Liberia does not definitely appear. America can, doubtless, check the aggressions of the French, who have shown defiance constantly to top off the attacks, however, is but one of the problems. Lack of funds, lack of improvements, decrease in population are difficulties to be encountered if Liberia is to be rehabilitated. The report of the commission who will take the tedious form to Africa will undoubtedly be of weight in determining future action. Of course Liberia cannot be taken as a colony or dependency of the United States. It is without value to this country. It must either be set on a firm footing of continued independence led to its fate of being gobbled up by colonizing European powers.—Ex.

He sat there with a rapt expression on his face until the portals of the church swung open and the congress: tion spilled out into tho April sun: ‘shine, bringing color and animation to ‘the scene, He scanned the crowd with searching glances as it slowly melted away. The last to leave the church ‘was the gray-haired rector, and walk. lng by his Aide as he eame down the walk was a beautiful young women. “It 4s, she," whispered the man in the automobile, “I never saw her in my life before, but T Know it is she!” The rector dnd his companion came nearer. They were about to pass the car when the girl suddenly glanced up and stopped. “Why, this is my car, I believe,” she sald blithely to the rector. “I'm to dine with: Mrs. Camperdown, you know, Goodby, Mr. Roden, aid tell Mrs. Roden I shall see ‘her soon.” The rector lifted his hat with a pro found bow and walked on up the vil {age street, while the girl turned to Valdean with pretty assurance, “This is the Camperdown car, ts it not?” Tn an instant Valdean was standing on the curb beside her, hat in hand. “Ot course,” he said glibly. “It ts anything you wish. That is—er— Let me assist you, madam. Take this for ward seat, please, beside. the driver.” ‘The girl was on the step when she healtated, looked the car over doubt tully and turned a halt-trightoned face toward Valdean, Her checks were flaming. ‘Am I making’@ mistake?" she fal: tered. “Not at all, I assure you,” he stout ly protested. “fam Miss Drummond, you know?” “Certainly, madam,” “Mrs. Camperdown wrote me that she would have her automobile wait ing in front of the church, but—I think =I know she sald it would be a lin ousine.” “The Umousine is out of order this morning.” led Valdean cheerfully, as he gently pushed the, girl into a seat and hastily occupied the one beside her. “So it had ‘to be this or noth ing.

In the north of England, on Easter day, the little boys go out begging for Easter eggs, which are generally beau- tifully colored and gilded. They play with the eggs, bowling them along the ground, tossing them like balls in the air, and even fighting battles with them in order to see whose eggs will prove the stzongest. There is stil surviving in the north of England the Deautiful custom of making mutual presents of Easter eggs among the children of intimate families, The eggs are first colored and then are carved in artistic designs with a pen- knife, The shells are marked off into three divisions, one part inclosing the name of the child to whom it is to be siren, anoiher Doldiag @ iio cand and the third portion decorated with some kind of » picture—amounting to a kind of Basteresg valentine. In America, the colored Easter-ogg bunt Ing on the grassy lawns, and the me, Miss Drummond, although 1 con: fess I uever saw you until to-day,” said Valdenn, slowly. “Last Easter 1 chanced to be at St. Mark's church tn the city, and there I heard you sing for the first time. I know ft was you, for I could not be mistaken in the volee. I did not see you, nor was J able to find out who you were or whero you lived, but your volee has haunted me for a whole year. In my thoughts, in my dreams, you have been known to me only as the Easter lady; but now—at last—" Ho checked himself, and deitberate- ly began to turn the vehicle into a cross-road leading at right angles from the one they were following. The girl quickly lafd a small gloved hand on his arm, “No, noi” she erfed: not that way. “Keep straight on, Mrs. Camperdown lives—" “Mrs, Camperdown can walt,” satd Valdean firmly as the car shot into the new road at an increased rate of speed. “Iam not ready to take you to Mrs. Camperdown yet. have waited a whole year for this oppor tunity; do you think I am going to turn you over to Mrs, Camperdown 80 soon?” Miss Drummond sank helplessly ‘back in her seat. Ho knew she was ‘staring fixedly at him, and be half-ex pected an onthurst of expostulation, but he did not turn his head “Am T being kidnaped?” she asked at last; and the humorous note in her voles assured him that his bold move was being condoned. Valdean’s face brightened with a quick gleam of excited pleasure. “Then you will let me drive you to town?” “Indeed it will be @ great favor to me. T hope it Is not asking too much of you." “Oh, I shalt be delighted. And we can dine at the Red Eagle inn, which is dlstiy on the way. and ail ge home betore nightfall.” ‘The ice was broken; tt was aston: fshing how quickly these young peo ple arrived at a mutual and cordial understanding. By tho time the Red Eagle inn loomed up before them they were chatting as gaily and unreserved: ly as if they had known each other for years. They dined cozily and happily at the inn, consuming much more time than was’ necessary in the perform- ‘ance, and then taking their places in the car once more, they resumed thelr journey toward the city. “{ was sure something portentous would happen today,” sald Valdean, enthusiastically, as they bowled along the highway. “And has anything portentous hap pened?” asked Miss Drummond, curt ously. "Surely. Nothing could be more significant than this chance meeting between you and mo.” “But—does it portend anything?” “To me it does. It holds a beautiful promise. It is the fate of the Val deans. Listen, Miss Drummond,” and the young man became very serious. “Easter is. strangely mixed up with tho destinies of the Valdeans, My father met my mother for the first time on Easter day. My grandfather and grandmother. first knew ct each other's existence on an Easter morn: ing and they were married the same evening. It was the tricksy spirit of that festival that brought my great grandparents together nearly a hun dred years ago. As far back as the record goes the members of my family have all met their affinities at Baster time. Wil you contend, Miss Drum mond—Margaret—that our meeting today has no meaning for the future?” She gave him a quicr, frightened look.

How a sister played a trick that brought rosy health to a coffee flend is an interesting tale: “I was a coffee fiend—a trembling, nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to the poison that stole away my strength.
