A growing inclination to wear white is apparent. White was once regarded as the special privilege of youth. Now, with a clearer knowledge of the values of color and a better realization of the importance of surrounding, one indulges one's natural tastes. Perhaps the influence of the period under which fashion is passing has something to do with this, for the women who amused themselves at Trianon used white freely and without stint. Be that as it may, white gowns, and white generally, will be more worn this coming season than ever. White cloth in a variety of makes, satin charmeuse, the cashmere and white serge, in an infinite variety of qualities and thicknesses, will come in for much attention from artists in dress. As to the lingerie gown, its importance in the wardrobe cannot be questioned. It is one of the most useful things to have and, whether worn outside or indoors, permits so much individual taste and charm in contrast that it is quite indispensable. Here is a dainty little dress in cream nun's veiling. The pretty-shaped opening at neck is edged with silk galloon; a set of pin tucks are made in centre of front below opening, and also round the foot of skirt; the armholes are edged by galloon. The little slip or blouse, which is separate, is in cream spotted silk, finished at the neck and elbow by a narrow frill. A colored sash is worn below waist. Materials required: 2 yards veiling 46 inches wide, 1¼ yard silk 36 inches wide, 1½ yard galloon. Return to Mahogany There is quite a return at present to the use of mahogany candlesticks for the bedrooms and living-room. They are even used on supper tables. The mahogany candlestick is old, with a high polish, and stands quite high on a flat basc. The candles are used without shades. A pair of them is a good finish to a mahogany bookcase, also to a mahogany desk. Cotton to Be Worn. Gowns of coarse cotton not embroidered in a heavy crude darning stitch are to be worn in not only white, but colors. They are made over china or other soft silks or even thin cotton of glossy finish. THE GAZETTE Combination Lingerie Both Comfortable and Suitable to the Present Fashion. The work of making lingerie is very much lightened this season by combining three pieces in one. The slim as well as the stout woman approves of this plan. After a woman has worn the three-piece combination, which fastens down the front, is without belts, draw strings, plats or gathers, she cannot return with satisfaction to wearing the three separate pieces. The new garment is worn over the corset, which is placed over a thin lile-thread skirt or a knee-length combination suit. The latter is more acceptable than any other garment under the corset. The shirt cannot be kept down, and wrinkles around the edge of the corset, making a ridge that shows through the outer skirt. Dressed in this fashion, a woman is more comfortable than she ever has been. Her underclothes are reduced to minimum weight, her waist line is natural and not made larger by strings, buttons and belts, and the lack of petticoats gives her greater freedom in walking. Attractive Empire Combs. Empire combs have come back with the empire coffees, and in Paris and London there has been a rage for the genuine combs of the pearl, very high prices being paid in many cases for the antiques. Even where the stones used are not real gems, the design and workmanship often give real value to these combs; but excellent reproductions have been made from many of the most attractive empire designs, and these will content the woman who does not care to spend a large sum upon an ornament which is likely to be but a passing fad. Dealers in antiques tell us, however, that they have sold a number of the genuine old combs, chiefly in dull gilt and pearls.-American Register, London. Tight Sleeves and Low Collars. Women whose arms are either very full or very thin dislike the revelation of the sleeve that is guillfulness of any funness whatsoever. But for the woman who can wear the smaller sleeve nothing is more chic at present, for it gives a very narrow-shouldered, slender look to the most corpulent figure. Collars are less exaggerated than they were a year ago, and the shawl collars and collarless necks of the new coats are a boon to women who do their own tailoring. They are awfully good style and very easy to make.-Delineator. Coral Linen Frocks Coral linen is a good material for the foundation of a walking suit which is to be self-trimmed, soutached, outlined with eyelet or made severely plain. Black should be introduced in the trimming scheme, though not in a marked degree. A black hat is suitable for wear with a coral linen frock, providing the dress shows just the least particle of black, which is easily obtained in piped lines. Fashion Is an Economy. For once we have stumbled on a fashion that is really an economy, for instead of having a high-necked gown for the theater and a semi-low necked gown for an informal dinner, a woman now needs but one dress for both occasions. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 17, BIBLICAL ART HENRY O.TANNER'S BIBLICAL ART HENRY O.TANNER'S HIS RECENT GRAND EXHIBITION IN NEW YORK CITY ASTONISHES THE NATIVES. HAS WON NUMBER OF MEDALS An Appreciation of His Wonderful Work — His Brilliant Career — Ranks with the World's Very Best Artists — A Great Credit to the Race— Most Encouraging. There is a kind of realism in Mr. Henry O. Tanner's religious pictures that is thought to place him in a class almost by himself among the moderns. His work differs from the archival material of his predecessors, as Mr. Cortissou points out in the New York Tribune, and also from those moderns who have "sought to interpret the Scriptures in paintings based largely on the aspect of life at the present time." Such painters as von Uhde, who have placed the Saharan annual mask of the Bearded, who has "introduced him into a company of fashionable Parisians," leave the "impression of somehow forcing the note, of building up their scenes in a fictitious manner." Mr. Tanner, on the other hand, exhibits an artless simplicity." He seems able, we are told, to procreate himself back into the past and to paint religious subjects realistically," making Henry O. Tanner. his "appeal on broad human grounds, painting his sacred figures simply as men and women moving against their natural background." The writer adds: "He does this, too, without offering any violence to the high associations of his material. There is no want of dignity in his work. He states the truth in a large. If not precisely noble manner. Looking at his pictures, you feel that thus indeed may this or that Biblical episode have occurred, made impressive by the nature of the action of nature, natural rays, but just the familiar light of Palestine. Rarely, in anything that he has done, is there a hint of shrewd stage management." Much attention has been attracted to Mr. Tanner's work by a recent exhibition held in New York at the beginning of a visit to his native country. In The Westminster (Philadelphia) the Rev. Charles B. Mitchell writes an appreciation of this exhibition, which contained not only pictures of the artist's sojourn in the Holy Land. "The scenes of sacred history seem to have made such a deep impression," this writer observes, "that for a time the events themselves occupied a secondary place in Mr. Tanner's interest." "It was as if Mr. Tanner had walked aboard at night, over the hills around Jerusalem, and dreamed of the events of long ago, and puts his dreams on canvas." The "odometer" is instanced as showing the beginning of Mr. Tanner's "escape from the fascination of the land." Mr. Mitchell goes on to describe it: "The scene is on a housepet: Jerusalem, painted on the spot, is the immediate background; but the environment no longer dominates. The human, the religious interest, has achieved independence at last. There are only two figures in the picture, a boy and a girl, gray, timid, inquiring, open to new light and yet so deeply convinced of human fallibility that he fears to follow what seems to be the light. The combination of the earnestness of a profoundly religious temperament and the sensitiveness and hesitancy of the man of culture were perhaps never more important. They are deep in pose of Nicodemus. Jesus sits on the battlefield, facing Nicodemus and the spectator, talking earnestly. He is the mystic, the enthusiast, the dreamer, speaking to the deep central heart of the man. His brow is high, nose long, beard so heavy and dark that it hides entirely the mouth and chin—a unique type of christ—but his eyes are the most noticeable element of his face. They are deeply burn. The effect is that of a pair of search-lights. You feel, as you study them, that he is looking Nicodemus through and through, and yet he sees beyond Nicodemus into the infinite. In those eyes Mr. Tanner has painted the Christ "who needed not that any testify of man, who knew not that any testify of man," I almost feared, as I stood before the picture, that he might look my way. "Mr. Tanner remarked to me that his conception of Christ has changed somewhat in the five years between the 'Christ and Nicodemus' and the 'Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet," owned and loaned by Mr. Rodman Wanamaker. "It has become, he said, 'much less materialistic.' "But whatever one may think or feel about Mr. Tanner's conception of Christ, no one can dispute the intense dramatic power of the picture. It seems to me to be superior, in this respect, to anything else Mr. Tanner can do. He can sit in a row, back to the wall, facing the on-looker. Christ kneels before them, with the foot of the second in the basin, and the towel in one hand, as he glances up from his work to say something to the fourth. A lamp, bright light on the faces of the disciples, and shows the Master in silhouette. One can only wonder how the discipline Christ is addressing ever got in among the apostles. He sits there impassive as a graven image, his coarse hands chasped over his hands, and his eyes shine of the corner of his eye. He is the 'practical man:' that stands out all over him, in every line of form and figure; and, sitting face to face with Christ, he sees no beauty in him that he should desire to admire. You feel Christ has come toomes he will let Christ wash his feet and laugh at him for doing so. "This discipline in Mr. Tanner's picture is almost a caricature, but the caricature would represent a distinctive modern type. There is a man in our modern civilization—he may be a caricature, but he is not a name but has no sympathy with the moral ideals of Christ. He regards the Sermon on the Mount as thoroughly 'unpractical.' He says that 'business is business, and business and religion have nothing in common, and after going to church on Sunday, and after going to church on Monday, bribes legislators on Tuesday, and on through the week, without the slightest compunction of conscience. I strongly suspect that somehow Mr. Tanner got hold of this man and persuaded him to sit as the model for that fourth disciple." Mr. Tanner's largest canvas, "Beneath the name of Christ" is thus described by Mr. Oscar L. Joseph in the Christian Herald (New York): "It is ten feet high by 15 feet long, and the masses of light and shade are admirably arranged. The background is spacious, picturesque, and suggestive of the festal occasion. The crier is vociferously heralding the approach of the nuptial procession, whose presence is made known by the light in the foreground. Their faces are a study in expression and character. Galeety and sadness, delight and despair, expectation and disappointment are shown in contrast in the countenances, and demeanor of the wise and the foolish. A spirit of sympathy is present, and the flickering for the fate of their sisters in dismay. One in the group on the right is holding out her lamp, so that it may help the flickering light of her companion in distress. On the left is another on her knees; her well-trimmed lamp is beside her, while she is trying to help the flickering light even at the risk of missing the festivity herself. The artist has caught the spirit of the parable, and his painting is a strong sermon." The same writer gives the following sketch of the painter's career: "Henry Ossawa Tanner is a native American, the son of Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner of the A. M. E. church. He was born in 1859. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts under Thomas Eakins. For three years he taught art at Clark university, Atlanta, Ga. He showed such great talent that a few friends encouraged him to study financial assistance he went to Paris, and soon distinguished himself as a pupil of Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. From 1896, when his paintings received honorable mention in the French Salons, up to the time that the French government purchased two of his paintings for the French government, he was the series of successes. He has won medals at the Paris exposition of 1900 and the Pan-American exposition of 1901; also the Walter Lippincott prize, Philadelphia, in 1900, and the Harris prize of Chicago. His paintings enrich the Wilstach collection, Philadelphia; the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg; the Museum of Art, Philadelphia; and the Chicago Art Institute. He has settled in Paris for professional purposes, and is there held in the highest honor by his fellow craftsmen and the art-loving public. His two paintings which have been purchased by the French government for the Luxembourg collection are entitled The Two Disciples. Here he is found in the company of distinguished American artists, among them Whistler and Sargent."—Literary Digest, New York City. Mr. Tanner's . wife. a talented French lady, is also an artist. A PRETTY WHITE GIRL Mandamuses a Probate Judge for a Marriage License—Dr. Ryder's View! Columbus, O.—"It is not what we will do with the black race, but what they will eventually do with us." This is Rev. Charles Jackson Ryder's view of the "Negro problem," expressed recently at the Congregational "get together missionary conference" in First Church of Church. For 20 years Rev. Mr. Ryder (white) has been engaged in American missionary work among our people, first as field secretary for the American Missionary association, then as district supervisor, and now as general corresponding secretary. Judge Bigger allowed Miss Cunningham an alternative way of mandating the establishment Probledge Black to either issue a marriage license to Mr. Willis Marriage, an Afro-American, of 124 East Spring street, and Stella E. Cunningham, pretty white girl of the same address, at once or appear before the court April 19 and show cause why he refused to issue it. Then the law office of O.B. Cunningham was recently divorced from her first husband (white), who is in Virginia. Mr. Marcand conducts a real estate business. Wanted—Copies of The Gazette. Wanted—Copies of The Gazette.

IN UNION THERE E STRENGTH JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER. A Most Enviable Eulogy from a Negro Poet. We hail thee, noble chieftain from the west! Lo! 20 years we've seen thee dare to be a knight! Where some stooped igno- minously For gain or power, still thy souls high quest Was honor for the land thine honor hosed. And for thee for her sons of every degree, Branding great wrongs, and false "diplomacy." Crusader, thou hast served thy country best! The Roman call that roused the listless state Thou sound'st; and, crying—"Shame to give men less" Hast put thy race on trial by nobleness! Have we blush of shame to own them?— Were the Negro soldiers guilty?— Should we feel for them disgraced? No! We fain would wreathe fair laurels on our former sons of Mirs For whom "fearful" "victory" "Till his voice rang 'mid the stars. And we bring to this brave Saxon All our love, in golden bars. Earth had mighty, dark-bured heroes In the morning of the world— Giant warriors, clad in lightning, Hooded, blinded, blinded High as heaven and down the ages! Nimrod, Seti, Rameses. Rise, forgotten Past! Meroe, were great Moses loved, arise! Tyre, Thebes, Nineveh, we knew you Sphinx, pyramids, silent Mennon; Ruined Memphise—Babylon, Relics of great deeds and empires of the proud, dark peoples gone, We, your day cares, loved you, In the claarging, purple dawn. Turn again to wondrous Toussaint, Dessalines; great Macao; Simon the Spartan, attacks Dying, Freedom's way to show E'en to white men—Through rebellion's Blanching hells we passed again: Pillow, Wagner, Appomattox, The boom of rebellion then. And the boom of beckoning Sounded like a loud "Amen!" On that hot, barbed hill in Cuba, Where the Spaniards blocked the way, At San Juan, when brave men faltered, Our black soldiers saved the day. They were men like Mingo Sanders, and the boom of rebellion low. Were they cowards down in Browns- ville?— Dread marauders of the night?— Veterans bathed in holy battle Where dark Lethe, rolled in sight! Who are these dark peoples, Saxons, Dwelling 'mongst you, humbled so? Children of the warrior nations Were brave men, caught low, God, the Alpha and Omega, Brings the boasters still to naught. Bless, oh blessed, are the meek ones Who the sable ropes have caught! Hill, the booming boars, caught us To the present, mystery fraught! White senator, put off the cares of state. Rest friend of truth, known of the gods above. The storms broke over thee, but found thee great. To thy grand rest, like Cincinnatus, go, With honors, and with all our grateful love! —Rev.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature. 1904 to 1908 1906 to 1908 1900 to 1902 SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1909. 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. Some of our southern exchanges are "roasting" ex-Collector W. D. Crum of Charleston, S. C., for resigning after he had been reappointed by President Roosevelt. President Taft wanted him to do so. Our Xenia correspondent offers the first dollar to start a fund for a Joseph Benson Foraker scholarship, at Wilberforce university, as outlined in a communication written by Mrs. Patricia Robison of Moro, Oregon, and published in The Gazette last week. Who'll be the next? Hon. Walter L. Cohen, the United States register of the land office at New Orleans, La., has not been re-appointed as yet, and it will pay some of our exchanges to wait until he is (if indeed he ever is) before announcing the appointment. He has not as yet been able to run the gattletie of President Taft's disgusting southern policy. Nearly two months have elapsed since the inauguration and President Taft has not given a single Afro-American an appointment to date. Emmett Scott's job was provided for and he practically selected and appointed by President Roosevelt. Therefore this appointment should not count. Taft's cabinet members from Dickinson up have given "the colored brother" the "icy stare" and "cold shoulder." Now, 'rah! for Taft if you can. "We told you so." The Indianapolis Freeman's announcement that "Hon. Henry T. Eubanks" of this city "is a candidate for recorder of deeds at Washington, D. C." is as amusing as its statement that the same individual did something (anything in addition to voting as directed), when a member of the Ohio legislature. Our contemporary must get more familiar with political conditions and individuals here in Cleveland, and Ohio, to fully appreciate its own little Eubanks joke. According to the daily press of recent dates the probate judge of Franklin county has refused a Columbus white woman a license to wed an Afro-American, and the probate judge of Ashtabula county has refused a white man a license, at Jefferson, to wed a woman of the race. Both judges admitted frankly that they were actuated by race and color prejudice, and practically in defiance of the laws of Ohio and the rights of those denied licenses to wed. In view of the facts in both cases we feel justified in calling upon the attorney general of Ohio to begin action immediately against both of these judges to oust them from office. Their failure to perform the duties of the same, constituting as it does a denial of citizen rights and consequent disregard of law, because of a silly American prejudice (according to daily newspaper dispatches) is more than sufficient cause for ouster proceedings being instituted against them by the attorney general of the state. SUPERSTITIONS OF SOME GREAT MEN. A man more absolutely governed by pure reason than Lord Macauley could not well be found. But in his diary he refers to an after-dinner talk about the feeling which Johnson had of thinking oneself bound to touch a particular rail or post, and to tread in the middle of a paving stone. "I certainly have had this very strongly." In one of his H'bert lectures Max Muller said to the students: "Many of you, I suspect, carry a ha'penny with a hole in it for luck. I am not ashamed to own that I have done so myself for many years." Charles Dickens refused to lie down unless his head were placed due north and south, but he never before arriving at a friend's house; or a hotel, but a compass was always handy in his haggage to make sure. Miss Justin McCarthy has told how Parnell gravely checked her stirring coffee "the wrong way," and insisted that she should take another cup. A gentleman of Portrush sent Lord Roberts an old horseshoe when things looked ill in South Africa. Gratefullyacknowledged, the general added that he would keep his horseshoe in company "with one I picked up the day I entered the Orange Free State, and another I found at Paardeburg the day before General Cronjurre surrendered."—Ex. Even Ray Stannard Baker in the American Magazine, though not a Negrophobe, could not refrain from remarking on the superstition of the Negroes in America. What a lesson in human history the above has for him and his followers! LINCOLN DEIFIED-AND DISRE- GARDED The English and Canadian papers express the view that the present gen- eration of Americans have fallen far behind the standard and example set them by Abraham Lincoln. The London Spectator believes that the simplicity, uprightness, and hopefulness of the president who chose Grant as his sword of battle, and emancipated the slaves, have perished with him. Hence the complaint of the Toronto World that the work Lincoln began is not being carried on, and that the American people think they have done their duty when they have merely uttered a laudation of the great emancipator. Any way, we are told, these panegyrics are extravagant. "There is too much of a tendency, a set intention, among our neighbors to overreverence Lincoln," and "the 'Old Abe' of the light-tongued of his time has grown into Father Abraham of the Bosom!" But, the writer is "forced to surmise," the defication of Lincoln is merely "a cover for neglect of political responsibilities," and he remarks that those who praise Lincoln had better follow his example and carry on his unfinished work. As he says: "The truth is that Lincoln's great task, his herculean labor, was only begun, it still cries for cure if there be any. The terrible blot is still there. See not the blot, deify Lincoln, stand idle till a savior emerge! As if this kind would not scoff at him when he came! And other social disorders prevail, in regard to the distribution of wealth, the aggrandizement of political power, the few of great trusts, of millions of men wearing the collars of these great aggregations who hold it crime in a man in receipt of wages that his hair is turning gray, of wide-spread misrule and looting of cities, of a press that has gone largely into the service of the new masters of the people, of a debased theater, of the worship of veneer as taught by The Ladies' Home Journal, and of busi misrule and looting of Saturday Evening Post, of a frank Munseys who write of 'Mrs. Lincoln and her court,' and 'her ladies-in-waiting,' of the high finance of Wall street and the priesthood of that finance exemplified by Harriman, Ryan, Rocke feller, and Gates—these and other things are so bad that Roosevelt, who had the courage to see them, and name them, to strike at them, to try to cure some of them, has now to go out of the ring so damaged and discredited that the people will hardy summon him again! Or is he, too some day to be another Savior?" The English and Canadian newspapers, especially the Toronto World, have certainly diagnosed the American case from a "Lincoln" standpoint, correctly. There is so much of the "bloomit" farce" in this country, that our only wonder is that they and others have been so slow in seeing and publicly calling attention to the fact. GAVE THE SOUTHERN 'REBEL YELL" What is known as the Southern Club (white) of Chicago, gave a banquet one evening last week in that city, in honor of Jacob M. Dickinson, Secretary of War, Tennessee Democrat and ex-Confederate, who voted for William Jennings Bryan last fall. Nearly three hundred persons were present, among the number being the Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, son of the martyred president, and Gen. Frederick D. Grant, son of the commander-in-chief of the Union army during the war of the rebellion, both of whom see into have become, in late years, converts to the south's anti-Negro movement which is neatly covered up in the hypocritical cry upon the part of dough-faced northerners and prejudiced southerners for a "reunited north and south." Among the things said by Mr. Dickinson in his speech of the evening, were the following, which we feel sure will not need further explanation, as for as The Gazette's readers are concerned: "We have a president who sincerely wishes to co-operate with us to promote our general welfare, and our people believe in him and give him their fullest confidence. If that were not the case, the president would in essence quality. The people of the north, as is amply manifested by the public press, are in full harmony with the utterances of the president in respect of the south. This is an inference of the fact that the nation cannot come without their hearty approval and co-operation. "Our tradition, history, feelings, all concurring, would count for naught, but for the magnanimous spirit manifested by the north. I speak not of those pulpit orators who, ignoring their cloth, degrade Christianity and all it stands for by preaching hate, arousing prejudices, and stirring up the extinguished embers of sectional strife, nor of those canting devotees whose imaginary love for the earth is so strong that formation and malignity toward his former master they would gladly see a holocaust of the south." Isn't the above enough to make you sick, especially all those Afro-Americans, of ordinary intelligence, who voted for W. H. Taft for president last fall? So President Taft is to "cooperate with the democratic and prejudiced white south to promote the latter's welfare" without any regard whatever for that of our people, alleged Americans and surely all Republicans, thousands of whom have been sent to untimely graves in the last forty years, bearing the party's burden in the heat of strife as well as in the heat of the day, by these same southern prejudiced democrats and their fathers before them! And his secretary of war goes from Washington, D. C., to Chicago to publicly gloot the prejudiced south's acquisition to its ranks of the present chief executive of the nation, and much of the public press of the north! In this he is seconded by a Lincoln and a Grant who sit supinely by and listen to his abuse of a few truly, manly, American, Christian, pulpit orators, who having the courage of their convictions and recognizing the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, stand boldly out in the open advocating manhood and citizen rights and privileges for ALL Americans, everywhere in this country, without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Such MEN are accused by Dickinson of "preaching hate, arousing prejudice, ignoring their cloth, degrading Christianity, stirring up the extinguished embers of strife" and of being "canting devotees" etc. We are told by the Chicago papers that Dickinson's speech was given thunderous ap- far set plause and endorsement in the shape of the "southern rebel-yell." And this coarse, southern democrat and ex-rebel Dickinson is a member of a Republican president's cabinet! Good Lord, whither are we drifting? Pa., to attend his sister Anna's funeral.

Of course, few men learn by the experience of others. Men must have the experience themselves before they can be cured of a certain amount of racism or less, afflicted. All the Republican presidents from Lincoln down tried to break the solid south, and all were equally successful in not doing it. The little breaches made in a few of the border southern states were easily repaired by the south, though in some cases were the breaches necessary for Republican success. Success cannot be maintained by breaking the solid south, but defeat is more apt to be the consequence; for when the solid south disappears, the solid north also disappears; and it was the breaking of the solid north, while the Republicans broke the solid south, that gave the Democracy two presidential terms since the war. The Negro is a friend of the Republican party and it cannot profit that party to keep him weak. A party that abandons its friends cannot beget confidence in others than it is trusted. A party that abandons the oath to enforce the constitution and laws as president and then immediately speaks indifferently about the enforcement of certain constitutional amendments, underrates the solemnity of his oath and the heavy and secessional cost of it, if the antagonism to the Negro holding office in the south is just it should be legalized; if it is unjust and produces unconstitutional actions, it should be ignored and destroyed, not placeted. The Negro anywhere is legally qualified to hold office he should not be disqualified because of the race prejudices of the community. To recognize such prejudices and let them determine action is to foster them, and that in itself places the president in a position to recognize all of the amendments to the constitution that he has sworn to observe.—St. Louis (Mo.)

The Gazette's local news columns are open to all for news (not advertisements, which must be paid for). This includes persons, organizations, etc. Several of our churches do not seem to care to be noticed. The Gazette certainly can stand it if they can afford to continue so questionable a course. Our people of this community have shown themselves unable to properly care for the Old Fashion Home, where we fall to see the good judgment in the attempt to establish a home for girls. This would make two distinctly race charitable institutions when the Afro-Americans of this community are unable to properly sustain one. St. Andrew's Easter services were as usual, beautiful. The sermons by Rev. R. W. Bagnall morning and evening were very impressive. Mrs. Kittie the Mitchell sang in her usual pleasing manner at both services. At vcepers several young misses with a part in one of the voices which were performed, the voices blended perfectly. J. W. Wills, director, deserves credit. Notwithstanding the fact that every business enterprise on Central avenue from E. 9th street to E. 40th street conducted by members of other races than ours, depends upon our people and our people, we do not know of one that gives steady employment to a single member of the race, and our people continue supinely submitting to this miserable condition of affairs, of such vital interest to them. Many of the Central avenue businesses live in far distant parts of the city, too. Only in the restaurant barber and saloon businesses are our people at all well represented in business in Central avenue, or any other part of the city, for that matter. Here is another problem: the local ministers' association and other Afro-American organizations. Mt. Zion Congregational church was a scene of beauty Easter morning. The sermon delivered by the pastor was both eloquent and spiritual. The choir, directed by Mr. Jay Noble, rendered some fine choruses in part by Ms. Georgia Fields, Mrs. Mildred Sellers, Messrs. John Kellogg and Morgan Gray, and were excellent. We cannot refrain from making special mention of Mr. Kellogg, a devoted member of the church and choir for more than 30 years. He possesses a rich bass voice which includes depth, flexibility and sweetness. The evening exercises by the Sunday school were very interesting; quartet by the Misses Edna Bell and Emma Fields, Messrs. Kellogg and George Sutton; solo by Miss Besson Sutton; duet by Miss Georgia Fields and Mr. Kellogg; quartet by children, who sang very sweetly, directed by Miss Miranda Skeene.

The fiat had gone forth. James Allen must ride possessively around a thousand ewes before there should be added unto film the fairest maid in all the Pecos valley, Mercerora Tereso. So ruled old Pedro, Mercerora's father, and Allen knew the Medes' and Persans' laws were weak, wind-shaken reeds beside the solid rock of Pedro's grim determination. Jim explained the futility of the usual legal process when the ugly Mexicans were aroused and suggested a compromise, to which the stockman gladly consented. All day Jim camped on Homez's trail. His native instinct, lionized by his Yankee wit, wilt the day. With smooth words and £50 the corrals were cleared. The delighted stockman slammed Jim on the back Poor Jim! He did not even own the mustang on which to do the riding. As for the ewes— Jim rushed from Pedro's presence in a sudden passion, and the tiny village of adobe houses set in the middle of New Mexico dropped into dim perspective as Jim's long, angry strides bore him towards the range which rimmed the valley. The full blaze of noon held the barren land in thrall. A dry wind whispered through the withered grass and shook the ghostly sagebrush. Above the valley a treeless plain stretched out to meet a turquoise sky. The white wool of a dozen flocks relieved the dullness of the landscape. When the young man had walked his passion off, he faced the situation bravely and made his palms. Old Pedro had a double purpose in the promulgation of this edict. Jim was a lawyer. He had gone to school in Denver, had raked and scraped and pinched to get his education, and had planned to remain there to practice, but when the time came to leave the valley his widowed mother had fallen ill with a tedious malady, and Jim, of course, stayed with her that she might be among her people. Jim's mother was a Mexican, as was Merceda's though she thought of being of each house from good New England stock, and Pedro, fearful of the Yankee blood in each, sought to bind Jim to the valley. The young man opened up a modest office in the village, and fung a shin- A Mercreda Squeezed His Hand. ing shingle to the lazy breeze that crept down from the range. But fees were scarce as molars on a hen-farm. Might ruled in the valley. The Mexicans and greasers settled their differences with fists and knives, and Jim eked his scanty income by working at the dipping-station just outside the village. In a year's time Jim had gathered a hundred ewes into his tiny corral. Fits of alternate hope and despair had bridged the interval. When a ewe gave birth to twins, Mercreda straight way predicted that an epidemic had set in, and rosy-fingered Hope piled the calculating pencil on a double basis. But when a gay rancho rode into town, or a blithe young cowboy from the foothills swung through the village streets, despair held Jim in its paralyzing clutch. But a great day dawned for Jim and for Merceda. It found the former, clad in buckskin pants and jumper, busy at the dipping station. The flocks of Tony Gomez filled the corrals and were struggling through the annual dipping process to prevent disease. Jim, the erudite, held the post of honor on a raised platform above the steaming气汽. From the yaros below a narrow chute led towards him, up which a steady stream of sheep was forced by the wily collies. Jim dropped the frightened creatures one by one into the hot sulphur dip with the nonchalance of a housewife shelling peas, and shouted orders to the Mexicans armed with throat hooks who guided the floundering sheep through the long, narrow vat towards the dipping pens. From his elevation Jim saw a vast flock of lambs draw near outside the dipping-station, surrounded by snapping collies and dark-skinned herders. A dusty horseman plunged into view, a burly westerner, whose name was known to every sheepman on the range, and asked for the owner of the station. The owner was absent from the valley and there was no one to represent him. Jim called old Gomez, who came forth with glowering face and angry mien. The stranger demanded immediate possession. He made the startling statement that he had contracted for the station for the entire week, and drew forth a written document to substantiate his claim. He explained his haste, and insisted that the Mexican should give way to his flocks. He was under contract with a score of ranchmen in Colorado. A special train was to meet him at the nearest station, and the law required that the lambs should be dipped before crossing the state line. With mellifluent flow of, Spanish vowels, in striking contrast to his volcanic manner, old Gomes called upon the residents of heaven to witness his intention, and the fires of hell to eternally consume him if he budged an inch for a hurlyly modified Yankee. The stockman coaxed, threatened, and finally turned his pony's head towards the village for legal assistance. Jim hurried home to change his clothes, and was quietly seated in his office when the stranger sputtered in. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1909. Jim explained the futility of the usual legal process when the ugly Mexicans were aroused and suggested a compromise, to which the stockman gladly consented. All day Jim camped on Gomer's trail. His native instinct, illumined by his Yankee wit, won the day. With smooth words and $20 the corrals were cleared. The delighted stockman slapped Jim on the back and told him to come to the hotel that evening for his fee. Jim hurried home to consult with his mother, and stopped on the way to tell Mercreda. "I ought to have $50," he insisted, "for it was worth that to him." Mercreda squeezed his hand, and his mother gazed proudly upon the man who could carn $50 in a single day. Arrayed in his bravest apparel, Jim sallied forth, walking on air, but before he reached the little 'dobe hotel he gradually neared the earth again. He was obliged to stop and recall Merceda's prond look and his mother's wonderment to keep his courage at the proper pitch. "What if the stockman should offer me $5?" Jim asked himself. A cold chill pierced his spine at the thought. The stockman met him with a cheerful greeting. "Well, sir," he began, when they were comfortably seated, "what do I owe you? Let's get the matter settled." Jim hesitated and cleared his throat. "It saved you considerable, sir," he ventured. "I know it did, and I am willing to pay for it," was the reply. But Jim was leath to cast the die. "I'll tell you what I'll do," said the stockman; "I'll just spread out here on my knee what I think the job is worth, and you can tell me if it is satisfactory." All hope of $50 vanished, and Jim was mustering up his courage to face Mercreda. The stockman drew a huge wallet from an inside pocket and carefully untied it. Jim watched him moodily, and saw him draw out a bill and smooth it carefully upon his knee; another one was added and another, until five one-hundred-dollar bills lay clinging together. "How's that?" asked the stockman laconically. Jim could not reply at once. By a sudden metamorphosis the timid sheep-dipper was transformed into the successful young attorney. His head was held erect, a bright spot burned in either cheek, a blaze of triumph shone in his eyes. His palms pressed hard against his rigid knees in a desperate effort to appear calm and unconcerned. Presently his power of speech returned. "Better make it another fifty," he said, and there was a ring in his voice as if New Mexico were his. "IT do it just for luck," replied the stockman. Next morning when Jim went out to feed his flock he found it had been augmented by 900 ewes, each bearing on its left ear old Pedro's brand. A trim mustard was tethered near the gate. A scrap of paper clung to the bridle, on which was scrawled in Pedro's writing. "I mek prezent to my son Jeem." Jim swung himself into the saddle. Twice round the little flock he raced and disappeared down the road in a cloud of dust. The mustang seemed to know its rider's mind, for when they reached the hedge in front of Pedro's cottage he leaped it like a rabbit. A moment more and Jim stood on the tiny porch with his arms about Merceda. Their Industry and Its Results Told by One of Themselfs. I have pointed out to my people the false wax combs we fill—how the aplarian plants a field of hurling buckwheat within easy distance of the hive, so that we are thereby hoodwinked into working overtime; and the net results to the bee—he gets barely enough to sustain him through the winter, and that only by courtesy of the man who owns the hives. The bee line is a line of crass stupidity. It holds straight to work, and straight home, again. It has nothing whatever to do with the curve of beauty, and less with rounds of pleasure. The honey bee, although held up as a shining light, has some grave faults that it might be well to rectify. The worst of these is his contented willingness to live in rented properties, called hives, for which he pays too dear a price. He allows himself to be lured thereto by the simple cunning of the property owner, who beats upon a tin pan and shouts: "This way to our beautiful, furnished, cottages! All affine装墒ments, such as parifine combs, clean new cells, fireproof construction; handy to rose garden and clover fields. Rents low, on easy terms. Come early and avoid the rush!"—Judge. Polygot Walter Was American. At a restaurant in the Wall street district in New York where the waiters all speak French and many of them German there is a popular waiter who is known to various regular customers He Franz, Frank and Francois speaks German and French with equal fluency, and on that account was the subject of a bet which he had to decide yesterday. One man who had known the waiter for years said that Franz was a German, and another was just as certain that he was French, and a third said that both men were wrong and that the linguist waited undoubtedly came from Alsatia, or from that part of Switzerland where every child speaks three languages, each with a foreign accent. They were all surprised to hear that Frank, as he prefers to be called, was born in the Eighth ward, and has never been further from New York than Washington.

A CURE FOR FITS The Treatment Is to Accomplish What Science Has Been Strugging to Attain for Centuries.

His Record. "Colonel," asked the beautiful girl, "did you ever ride a horse 90 miles in three days?" "No," replied the veteran of two wars, "but I once ran 20 miles in about 30 minutes, which I think was going some, considering the fact that the underbrush was thick and I was in so much of a hurry that I forgot to throw away a knackpack that weighed nearly 50 pounds." There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other disease treatments, and would be far too much for it to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and not a serious one, but by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease. The Catarrh Cure, manufactured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by Hall's Hall's Catarrh Cure, is the only cure for a local disease.

Caught on the Rebound. The old man was lecturing his more or less wayward son on the evils of getting up late in the morning. "Remember," he said, "that it was the early bird that caught the worm." the early bird that caught the worm." "But how about the worm, dad?" queried the youth, who thought he had his sire up in the air. "Where did his reward for getting up early come in?" "I am informed," replied the old man, gravely, "that the worm was on his way home—hadn't been in bed at all." And there being nothing more to say, the young man said nothing. Cleanliness. This church, like many another one, had had trouble about pumping the organ, and the plan of using water power was gladly adopted. Connection was made with the pipes of the rectory, which stood on the adjoining lot. All the preliminary tests were satisfactory. On the Sunday morning when the apparatus was to be used for the first time at a regular service the organist arrived early for a final trial. There was not a hitch. The congregation generally knew of the innovation, and awaited the opening strains of the processional with uncommon interest. Not a sound came from the organ, however, and the choir had to march in singing the hymn as best it could, unaccompanied. Of course the disappointment was keen. The rector's wife was resourceful. A clergyman's wife usually has to be slipped onto a side door and returned in five minutes with a note. This she forwarded to her husband It read: "It's all right now. Cook was taking a bath." SICK DOCTOR Proper Food Put Him Right. The food experience of a physician in his own case when worn and weak from sickness and when needing nourishment the worst way is valuable: "An attack of grip, so severe it came near making an end of me, left my stomach in such condition I could not retain any ordinary food, I knew of course that I must have food nourishment or I could never recover. "I began to take four tablespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a day and for 2 weeks this was almost my only food; it tasted so delicious that I enjoyed it immensely and my stomach handled it perfectly from the first mouthful. It was so nourishing I was quickly built back to normal health and strength. "Grape-Nuts is of great value as food to sustain life during serious attacks in which the stomach is so deranged it cannot digest and assimilate other foods. "I am convinced that were Grape-Nuts more widely used by physicians, it would save many lives that are otherwise lost from lack of nourishment." Absolutely the most perfect food in the world.
