THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The gown at the left is of illac tulle made up over white liberty. The low neck of the corsage is bordered with a ruche of tulle, lined with a soft silver ribbon. A similar ruche, but wider, forms the skirt trimming. The little tucker is of white mousseline d sole. The scarf is of the same, starting at the left side of the girdle and fastening at the right shoulder. The other end is fastened at the left shoulder and again at the waist with a paste buckle. The wide corselet girdle is of illac liberty. On the front of the corsage is a shower bouquet of pink roses. The other gown is of black tulle, embroidered with corals, trimmed with a fringe of corals, and made up over white liberty. The reverses are of white liberty, edged with pink velvet, and over these are little pointed revers of embroidery. The chemisette, or tucker, is of white mousseline de sole or tulle, trimmed with lace insertion; the knot is of black liberty ribbon. The little close-fitting sleeves are finished with the coral fringe and ornamented with knots of the black ribbon. The long tunic skirt is slashed open over the underskirt of white liberty.

A novel shopping bag is made in exquisite leather with the usual clasp and handle, but having an added length that when the shopper starts out with her bag empty is folded up and clasped to the side of the bag. After the regular supply of small purchases has been made and the accumulated samples threaten to overflow and burst all bounds the extension side is unclashed without even opening the bag, which becomes twice its original size. Indeed, it would hardly be straining a point to consider it, in its extended condition, a one-night bag, for if the finest of night dresses were used and the daintiest of travelring helps they could all be got in without a doubt. A look at these leather shopping bags will show the clever woman how the idea could be developed in broad sash ribbon for a fancy work bag that would hold little or much in the way of embroidery. In making the ribbon bag the buttoning up of the extension side would have to be rather complete—three enameled buttons at least would be required to hold the wide, soft ribbon in place. HERE IS PRETTY NIGHT DRESS This is a pretty idea for a simple night dress. It would need to be made up in a fine quality material. Insertion is laid on in a pretty pattern in the front; the fulness is then drawn up at the neck and set to a narrow band which is edged with lace. The sleeve is drawn into a narrow band, covered with insertion, to which a frill of soft lace is attached. Materials required: Five and one-half yards 38 inches wide, six yards insertion, 1¼ yards lace. "Good Luck" Belt Buckles. Belt buckles in silver, in Japanese characters, which signify good luck and long life, are exceedingly good looking. THE GAZETTE Nothing Better Than the Popular French Knot to Add Distinction to Gingham Frock. The girl who is never without a serviceable shirtwalst frock of fine checked gingham can give hers an artistic and distinctive touch by trimming it with the French knot so popular this season. Any one who can make a French knot can do this simple embroidery either directly on the frock itself or on specially prepared bias bands. All sorts of conventional designs are used, which can be copied from books on cross-stitch embroidery, or even beading patterns. The one essential is that the light squares are worked with a dark-colored silk and the dark squares with white or a light tone of the shades used. A heavy twisted embroidery silk is used, or if much work is done, regular crochet silk will be found cheaper. The knots must be firmly made and all must have the same number of twists. It is also important to work them all in the same direction, that is, bring the needle up at the same corner in each square and take it down in the diagonal corner every time. Hold the thread taut with the left hand after the twist is made and the needle is being pushed through the material. Princess Slip Useful. The wardrobe of nearly every girl will boast of a princess slip this summer. It will prove an exceedingly useful garment and is designed for wear with frocks of net and sheer transparent materials. It will be fashioned from flowered silk, soft messaline in all the pale tones, or from lawn or mercerized materials. It is cut on long graceful lines and fits the figure smugly. When worn exclusively with net or mousseline frocks for evening it is usually made with elbow sleeves and a low rounded neck. But when worn with day frocks long tight sleeves and high neck may be utilized. There may be a plaited or gathered flounce finishing the skirt put on with a heading of heavy leather insertion, although in these days of scanty skirts a deep hem would probably be more in order. The slip is fastened down the back with small flat crochet buttons. To Prevent Chafed Heels Women with narrow heels frequently have trouble with ready made footwear. The shoe rides up at the heel and a painful blister occurs, which effectively cripples one for the time being. This is especially true of low shoes. To prevent it with your next pair cut a few inches from a piece of old velvet, or get a bit of velvet ribbon to fit between the heel and the shoe. It can be either tacked into place or pasted. This renders the heel comfortable without lessening the size of the shoe which is the disadvantage of the felt ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. A TERRIFIC INDICTMENT! A TERRIFIC INDICTMENT! A NATIVE WHITE SOUTHERN REP PUBLICAN LEADER ON DISFRANCHISEMENT. LIBELING SOUTHERN MASSES Nearly 200,000 Afro-Americans in Alabama Alone Robbed of Their Vote. —Booker T. Washington Blamed. —"The Stolen Presidency" Mighty Interesting Reading. Although there is this vast distinction, as between the illiterate (white) people of the north and those of the south, there are those of the south, among the Democratic party leaders, who appeal to the people of the north in palliation of the wholesale disfranchisement laws, that these laws are proper for the reason that the illiterate are eliminated from the voting. This appeal has strong weight with the north, where there is somewhat of an actual problem in the north in its dealing with an illiterate and un-Americanized foreign element. In the north, however, they are reaching this problem by educating these masses. In the south there is the usual building up of the educational facilities of the classes and the neglect of the hill country white masses. These bourbon leaders not only neglect these white people, but they join in uphold disfranchisement as not objectionable when both races are hewn down. The people of the north are led to believe that these whites of Alabama, who are out of the voting, are comparable to the vicious of the undesirable foreign element of the north. It is an unjust and cruel inference that these people get from this Democratic party leadership and press of the south. T. Washington knows the situation, talk all that he may about not objecting to disfranchisement just so it cuts into both races alike. No man knows better than he that the motiva, the spirit and the enforcement of these so-called laws is partisan in design and that this design is not merely the disfranchisement of the Negro or of the illiterate white man, but the obliteration of the very possibility of opposition to the oligarchy by and through the strategy of persecution and training of this secular political system. In the beltering up of its political illicence, in the beclouding of the actual conditions that it enivores, this oligarchy in the south has no better or aler ally in its work of keeping the eyes of the country from looking right into the facts than is Booker T. Washington knows that he is eternally damning the political rights of the Negro in the south as he commits the future of the Negro to the oligarchy. He knows that the Negro was disfranchised because he was and is a Republican more than for the reason that he was an ally to Booker T. Washington that the Negro is not going to be let into the voting again by the oligarchy that let him out and that the same reason that let him out will keep him out. Out of the nearly 200,000 Negroes of voting age in Alabama there are not over 2,000 Negroes who vote or who can vote. Away with this foolishness of Booker T. Washington! American is that Booker T. Washington, his tremendous influence, has gone far to help fasten this disfranchising slavery on white citizens. It were enough that this Negro should carry his own race back into this new confederacy. Here, however, we have a Negro, a former slave, exercising a mighty power of work in the South, unburdened white as well as the black masses of the south. The Stolen Presidency. The Republican machine politics in the south has been pretty well gone into by the investigating committee of the National Civil Service Reform league. It has gathered up a mass of information which every earnest Republican in the south is glad for the entire country to be in possession of and able to use. The report will have a most helpful effect in arousing the nation to this southern condition. As the New York Evening Post points out, the report of the committee is not "in either intention or effect" a whitewashing of the last administration. The readers of the Southern American are aware of the fact that no one was contending that the classified service was being perniciously lined up in the fight to secure the nomination of the American and other publications did contend, at the time, that the unclassified service in the south was converted into a veritable political army. This vast political horde was working under orders. In each southern state the acknowledged representative of the Roosevelt administration, the known patronage dispenser, was the leader and the director of this horde. In the language of the New York Evening Post—whatever the explanation, the thing is an outrage and a danger. The explanation of this infamous procedure of last year in the south, the reason for it, this is not at all difficult of understanding. It was realized far in advance of the active fight for delegates to the national Republican convention just about how the lineup would be in the states of the north and west. As the sentiment and various forces began to crystalize, it was then that it was foreseen by the administration that in order to be nominated for the nomination it would require the control of the national committee and the seating of Taft delegations from the states in the south. This was the specific game agreed upon and the point worked to from the very beginning to the end. Theodore Roosevelt was the appar ent chief in command of this conspiracy. Frank H. Hitchcock was the mere clerk carrying out his orders, Ormsby McHearg was "the learned lawyer and legal light" whose duty it was to nose around over the south and to advise the dirty political technician to book the whip into presentable and legal form the mess and madd of padded contests and perjured statements which went to form the basis of the wholesale scheme to swindle through the nomination of the Republican candidate for the governor. Taft delegates were seated from every state and district in the south. Of course Hitchcock could name, to the very gnat's heel, the number of delegates Taft would have. He knew that he had a fixed national committee and he knew that he had his given number of dummy delegates from the state. He knew that he had not done this. So was Taft aware of the general plan. While the "steam roller" process was working out the climax of this theft of the presidential nomination at Chicago there was Roosevelt in high glee at the Wash. capitol hall telephone.

OUR PERFORMERS ABROAD Prof. Henderson Smith Writes Interestingly of Some of Them—The "Billys" McClain, Farrell and English—The Meisters" —Obituary. In a letter under the date, April 3, 1909, London. England, received by the editor of The Gazette from Prof. Henderson Smith, who is directing the destinies abroad, of a company of ten Afro-Americans, who give a musical act, the following sentences appeared: the Sunday, March 28, a young man died of a broken neck. The Viera Burns. From his letters we learn that he is evidently from Cleveland, or has a sister there. He was of light complexion, and had a wife and child here. "Billy" McClain and myself interested ourselves enough to see that his remains were buried properly, as he died without means. Belle Davenport, a Baker, and others also helped. He was buried to-day. Quick consumption. Burns was sick only a short time and certainly looked terrible. I never remember seeing a man before or after death, who made such an appearance. Well, it is the case, a lesson to those who do not know what to do. "Billy" McClain went into bankruptcy this week. It is a bad thing, because he stood so well here. Billy Farrell has left England for Paris, and Rastus and Banks are on the continent, doing well as usual. The Colored Meisters, the oldest colored quartet in existence (now old men) and a credit to the race in Europe, are back in England, which we had more of their kind. Billy English is the same old performer. "I am not positive when I will sail for America, but hope it will be before fall, as I do not like crossing the ocean in the winter or spring. I am sorry here, but I will not be here with too many bad colored people. In the course of time we will find color lines drawn here as a result." Inner Meaning of Disfranchisement. "The Negro domination" fraud has been worked out. In combination with misrepresentations as to the real purpose of the poll tax amendment, the Negro vote was used to fool many an unthinking voter eight years ago, to cut out a working man who voted to cut out the Negro vote has found that the same poverty that keeps the Negro from paying $1.75 for a vote, keeps him also. And this in the face of the fact that we have never had any danger of "Negro domination." The real reason for this proposition of an educational test is the same as the real reason for the infantile illness it will cut out some voters. Every single voter so cut out is a working man. The capitalist class is daily as summing more complete control of the state of Texas, and every working man's vote destroyed makes the complete control by the owning class of the state of Texas, local or union of workingmen in Texas, as ought to agitate and protest against this proposed infamy—Dallas (Tex. Laborer). Senator Joseph Benson Foraker Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Of the men retiring from the senate at least three are notable for the part they have played in making history. He was the first to hold the position, Senator Teller of Colorado and Senator Platt of New York. Of the three, Senator Foraker, who retires after having served two terms, far outranks the average of the senate in point of ability. Quick, resourceful, aggressive, he was acknowledged to have the most聪明, influential factors of his time in the chamber. His speech in opposition to the railway rate bill, a fight in which he met all the best brains of the senate, caused more alarm among the supporters of the administration than any other single utterance. His masterly methods were never shown to better effect than in connection with the President's last session during the last session under McKinley. For his courage and persistence in upholding the cause of the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry he deserves great praise. Never a scrupulous politician, he has taken the unpopular side, and because of his transparency, he has knocked his motives and make certain his return to private life.—New York Daily World.

It Democratic senators are to control the census appointments, as well as others, in the south, under President Taft, announce Washington, D. C., correspondents to northern Republican daily newspapers. In compilation of Taft's speeches, Ralph W. Tyler has left out those in which the president announced his vitally injurious (to us) new southern policy. This is causing much caustic comment, as might have been expected. Robert H. Terrrell of Washington, D. C., is not "the first judge of his race." Judges Ruffin of Boston and New York have many years. Strange, so many of our exchanges are ignorant of this fact. Judge Ruffin is the first. As a result of the will of the late Nelson B. Holden of Chicago, John Leatham, an Afro-American, who had been in the personal service of Mr. Holden for 15 years, and who was picked up in a cotton field while the president was making a trip through the southern states, has received $5,000.

This is one of the millionaire associations of that city, and an invitation to its annual functions is highly prized by the exclusive set of the intellectual and commercial life of the Illinois metropolis. Prof. Scarborough attended in company with two of the members of the club were his classmates at Oberlin college. In the month of November, 1908, Pitcher Mendez of the Almendazes team of Havana pitched five successive saultout games, or 43 innings without a run being made off him. This record was made in three games against the Cincinnati National league team (visiting in Cuba) and in two games against Mexico is the best all around player in Cuba, and his color is probably the only thing that keeps him from being a star in one of the major league teams. He also holds the long distance throwing record of Cuba. For retention as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, John C.

Besides this, Mr. Dancy has the office—and possession is still regarded in legal circles as nine points of the law.

She Prefers Democrats to "Demopups" —Republicans of the Foraker House More, Ore, April 19, 1909. Editor, The Gazette—Dear Sir: Thanks for your kind indorsement of my suggestions concerning the Foraker scholarship for Wilberforce university, and the painting. I am ready to do care for it will require a little from each of the race and their friends to make the a success, and it will benefit the race and honor Judge Foraker. I see he has asked that no more loving-cups or testimonials be tendered. I was sure he would feel that way, but he would not feel that he was being paid for doing his duty, if my suggestion for him now, Ohio people can return him to the senate in 1910, and his turn would end just in time for him to become president in 1916. The democrats will win if they show a little bit of common sense in choosing a candidate in 1912. For my part I would rather have a Democrat than a "Demopup" for a Democrat, or good red herring"; not such a nondescript as our present ruler is. I think "Teddy the terror," will run on Heard's in dependent ticket in 1912. It is really a perfect combination. When "Teddy" and Taft fall out, as they will ere four years, "honest men will get their dues." Sincerely, MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON He Kills One White Brute and Seri ously Wounds Another Defend- ing His Home. Shellman, Ga.—Defending his home against four night riders, Alfred Iverson, an Afro-American, killed one brutal white assailant and wounded another before he himself was killed. Iverson had been "notified" to leave this vicinity after a quarrel over business with a white scoundrel. He refused to go, and about 200 bodies were killed by night riders came. They forced their way into his home and a bloody fight followed in the presence of his wife. Iverson shot one brute dead, blowing off the top of his head, and wounded another so that he fell. The two other night riders then killed him and mercilessly whipped his wife. Mrs. Iverson notified the neighbors and her husband's body was found in the home, also a part of the head of the shamrock. The two night riders removed his body and the wounded scoundrel. A monument to Iverson's memory ought to be erected at the capital of the nation. INSIST UPON OUR RIGHTS! A. M. E. Bishops Again Before the Interatex Commerce Commerce Commission. Washington, D. C.—The interstate commerce commission was engaged recently in hearing the complaint of Rt. Revs. Wesley J. Gaines, H. M. Thurston, and others of H. W. Lampton, bishops of the A. M. E. church, against the Seaboard Air Line and its receivers, the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac & Southern railway companies, the Central of Georgia Railway Co. and the Pullman company for unjust discrimination against the teachers of mind and the matter of Pullman car accommodations. The petition of the complainants states that the passengers coaches furnished for the transportation of Afro-American passengers are not of the first-class quality or description as those furnished white passengers; that they are compact car partitions by swimming and usually crowded with passengers of every description, who smoke, drink and curse. In the matter of sleeping car accommodations, it is alleged that the defendants refuse to sell tickets to Afro-American passengers and usually crowded with getting tickets are denied the right to occupy the berths called for in them, and that such treatment results in inequality of treatment of white and Afro-American passengers. The complaint also extends to the refusal of the defendant companies to furnish dining car accommodations to Afro-American students and tended that these practices are violative of the act to regulate commerce, and relief is asked.

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. President Taft continues to refuse to appoint Afro-Americans to office anywhere in the country—not only in the south. Champion "Jack" Johnson has finally "smoked out" ex-Champion "Jim" Jeffries and made him promise to fight next October or at some other indefinite date in the future. Prejudiced Washington, D. C., correspondents to daily newspapers of the country sent out a lot of "rot" last week in connection with the sailing of the Liberian commission for Africa on a government scout cruiser. It is anything, with them, to stir up prejudice against our people. That was a terrible thing, the lynching of four more or less prominent and wealthy white residents of Texas and Oklahoma at Ada, Okla., on Monday of this week, and still it can but have a much-needed effect upon the masses of people (white) throughout the north. It may even do some good as far as the south is concerned. We hope so. Bishop J. W. Hamilton of the Methodist Episcopal church, not only dines with Afro-Americans when he feels like it but tells the press and people of the country that he will do so with whom he pleases when he wishes to, if acceptable to the others concerned. O, for more such Christians, and men and women! The silly "social equality" talk and "rot" would soon die out. It will be seen from an item elsewhere in this paper that the Indianapolis Freeman, a paper that gave Henry Eubanks a "write-up" a few weeks ago, is favorable to the reapointment of Hon. John C. Dancy, the present recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Eubanks' candidacy is really a joke. Only men of exceptional ability and superior education can hope to secure and fill such a position. It pays $4,500 a year and is possibly the most important office in the district. Sam Langford whipped Al. Kublak (white) in a six-round bout at the Philadelphia National Athletic club last Saturday evening. This is his third victory of the kind in three successive weeks. No wonder Stanley Ketchell, "champion" middleweight, refuses to fight him. Champlain on a contest between the two before meeting Kitchell. Most experts claim that Langford is the better fighter by far, and that he will surely whip Stanley if they ever meet in the ring. Here is an opportunity for Johnson to help crush out the alleged colorado star, and also give him not give Ketchell a match until he has fought and defeated Langford (if he can). --- A "HOUSE-CLEANING" NEEDED. The local item in our last issue, relative to the misguided efforts of some of our people to impose another charitable institution upon the Afro-Americans of this community, when they have really failed to properly care for one (the Old Folks' home) was widely and most favorably commented upon, and we have received a number of communications the past week in indorsement of the same. While we are on this subject it might be well to say that there is entirely too much indiscriminate begging from white friends and others of this community, authorized and unauthorized, by Afro-Americans for almost every conceivable purpose, some good and some bad. Our ministers should make an effort, through the local Chamber of Commerce department for the regulation of local soliciting, to have it regulated. This, as a matter of justice to their charges, to say nothing of the reputation of our people of this community. For months some very ugly rumors have been floating about Cleveland relative to the alleged questionable conduct of a more or less prominent member of the Old Folks' Home association, which, rumors say, called the person before it again recently to explain certain alleged collections. This is spring-time and a little "house-cleaning" along this line and others will prove very helpful if attended to promptly. THEY STRUCK BACK The following is taken from the Frostburg, Md., correspondence to the Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American-Ledger of last week; "Things were warm in this city on last Tuesday. The city election took place on that date and excitement ran high throughout the day. The Negro voters were the storm centre but they then had to leave from the city they had taken. They felt that the time had come to make a show of strength, and nobly did they per- form the work which had been cut out before hand. The friendly (?) Republicans refused to even give complimentary recognition in the primaries, and the courageous Afro-Americans came back at them in the elections, and the Republicans were bad. The man whom they desired most to elect was defeated. During the day they made frantic efforts to break our ranks, but we stood firm and had the satisfaction of humbling those who have all along pretended to be Democrats, told in very plain language that if they desired to retaliate by voting for the constitutional amendment, they could fire away. They will, doubtless, treat us in a different manner the next time. The Republican party in Iowa gave a nominal majority between five candidates. This majority was cut down to 157, and the favorite candidate defeated outright. They have even refused to employ colored men upon the city works. A few weeks ago when a Democratic mayor put a colored man to the ground, the discharged him. The fight is still on, and it will be continued until proper recognition is given." We commend the above to our people of every community, particularly in the state of Ohio where the leaders of our party, the Republican party, have signally failed to treat fairly its local Afro-American contingent; and this is the case in almost every community in the state. In the way outlined above, and in that way only, will we ever secure anything like what we are entitled to, not only in local but also in state and national politics. Strike back wherever you are so mistreated, only even more successfully, if possible, than our people in Frostburg have done in recent weeks. Do this, as manly and loyal members of the race and the Republican party should, and it will not be long before conditions are very materially improved in every community, the state and the country, as far as our people are concerned. Organization, however, should be the foundation of all action. Must Explain Laughing Washington, D. C.—Official investigation will be made of the reported lynching of William F.

The Eagle and the Arrow An eagle sat on a lofty rock, watching the movements of a hare whom he sought to make his prey. An archer, who saw him from a place of concealment, took an accurate alm, and wounded him mortally.

"It is a double grief to me," he exclaimed, "that I should perish by an arrow feathered by my own wings!"—Aesop. Safe Rules for Living.

BIBLICAL ART HENRY O.TANNER'S HIS RECENT GRAND EXHIBITION IN NEW YORK CITY ASTON- ISHES 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 archaeological reconstructions of Tissot, as Mr. Cortissot points out in the New York Tribune, and also from moderns who have "sought to interpret such inhuman in the basement, based largely on the aspect of life at the present time." Such painters as von Uhde, who have "placed the Savior among modern peasants," or Beraud, 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's work is "an artless simplicity." He seems able, we able, to "project 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 asks, "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 see a man with a Bible and a Biblical episode have occurred, made impressive by the nature of the action involved and illuminated by no natural rays, but just the familiar face of a man, 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) museum he has written an appreciation of this exhibition, which contained not only pictures of Biblical subjects, but records 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 the artist has created 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 picture called "Christ and Nicodemus" is instanced as the beginning of an "escape from the fascination of the land." Mr. Mitchell goes on to describe it: "The scene is on a houseet: 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, the priest, the monk, 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 perfectly expressed than in the image. He is the most valuable element on the battlement, 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 valuable element in his face. They are deep, and yet they fairly 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 to be alone, who himself knew what was in 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 important' than 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 has ever painted. Six of the disciples 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, amp, 'I am going to 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 clasped over his stomach, almost leering at Jesus out of the corner of his eye. He is the 'practical man:' that stands out all over him, in him, in line of form and form with Christ, he sees no beauty in him that he should desire to admire. You feel that when his turn comes 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 distinct character. He says that our modern civilization—he may be a church-member—who bows to the name but has no sympathy with the moral ideals of Christ. He regards the Sermon on the Mount as thoroughly 'unpractical.' He says that the Sermon on the Mount and religion have nothing in common," and after going to church on Sunday, robs the widow and orphan on Monday, bribes legislators on Tuesday, and so on through the week, without the slightest compunction of conscience. He suspects that somehow Mr. Tanner gets to know and persuaded him to sit as the model for that fourth discipline." Mr. Tanner's largest canvas, "Behold the Bridegroom Cometh," 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 announced by the light in the distance. The virgins are 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 artist is 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 her distracted sister who is seated, or 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: Mr. Tanner's wife, a talented French lady, is also an artist. TAFT IS OFF THE TRACK. Comment is hardly necessary on the position President Taft takes on the southern and negro questions. 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, prejudice 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 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 that it is trustworthy and faithful. A man that takes the oath to enforce the constitution and laws as president and then immediately speaks indifferently about the decreed amendments, underrates the solemnity of his oath and the heavy and serious responsibility of his obligation. 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 placated. If the Negro anywhere is legally qualified to hold office he should not be disqualified because of the race of the president, or because of the organization such prejudices and let them determine action is to foster them, and that in itself places the president who does it in the position of a nullifier of all the amendments to the constitution that he has sworn to observe.—St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. PULSE' OF AMERICAN TRADE It Is of Large Volume, Although Slow, and Steadily in the Direction of Improvement. New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Although the movement of trade is slow, it is of large volume, and steadily in the direction of improvement. In iron and steel the structural lines continue to reflect a broader demand, contracts placed thus far this month comprising a very substantial tonnage and considerable new business is also in sight. The railroads are taking advantage of the low prices named to make necessary improvements and extensions, while the advancing season has stimulated building activity in many sections. A.

VOLCANO IN ERUPTION VOLCANO IN ERUPTION OLD COLIMA BELCHES FORTH ASHES AND LAVA. People Living in Nearby Towns and Villages of Mexico City Terror-stricken—Earthquake Follows. Mexico City, Mexico. — A severe eruption of the Colima volcano followed by an earthquake shock has spread terror and confusion among the inhabitants of nearby towns and villages, a number of whom deserted their homes and fled to points outside the affected zone. News of the convolution reached here yesterday. The eruption began at 6:10 Monday morning. It covered a wide area with ashes and lava and only subsided at nightfall. Just as confidence was being restored the region was shaken by a violent earthquake and hundreds who had returned to a sense of security once more were thrown into a panic. The quake was first felt at 5:40 in the evening and lasted eight seconds. The oscillatory movement was from east to west and was accompanied by loud subterranean rumbles and detonations. No loss of life has been reported.

In arranging for painting, a good many property-owners try to save money by employing the painter who offers to do the job cheapest—or try to save money by insisting on a low-priced paint. But no property-owner would run such risks if he realized what must be taken into consideration in order to get a job that will wear and give thorough satisfaction. No houseowner will go wrong on the painting question if he writes National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, for their Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49, which is sent free. It is a complete guide to painting. It includes a book of color schemes for either exterior or interior painting, a book of specifications, and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint materials. Nearly every dealer has National Lead Company's pure white lead. (Dutch Boy Painter trademark.) If yours has not notify National Lead Co., and arrangements will be made for you to get it.

Cured by Cuticura for $1.50. "When my little boy was two and a half months old he broke on out checks with eczema. It was the itchy, watery kind and we had to keep his little hands wrapped up all the time, and if he would happen to get them uncovered he would claw his face till the blood streamed down on his clothing. We called in a physician at once, but he gave an ointment which was so severe that my babe would scream when it was put on. We changed doctors and medicine until we had spent fifty dollars or more and baby was getting worse. I was so worn out watching and caring for him night and day that I almost felt sure the disease was incurable. But finally reading of the good results of the Cuticura Remedies, I determined to try them. I can truthfully say I was more than surprised, for I bought only a dollar and a half's worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than my doctors' medicines I had tried, and in fact entirely cured him.

He was lecturing in the chapel, the cadets were rigidly paying attention, erect, eyes front, each an a ramrod of military etiquette. An Irish settler entered the chapel door and ambled swiftly down the aisle and into the platform. The cadets enquired under the eagle eyes of their officers but not a man smiled.

"COFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME" Tales That Are Told. "I was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me," says a N. Y. woman. "You just couldn't convince me its use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble I suffered from most of the time. "My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do such damage. "What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form as my stomach could digest. "I had read much about Postum, but never thought it would fit my case until one day I decided to quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about it. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions. "Soon I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the aid of pepsin or other digestants and it was not long before I was really a new woman physically." "Now I am healthy and sound, can eat anything and everything that comes along and I know this wonderful change is all due to my having quit coffee and got the nourishment I needed through this delicious Postum. "My wonder is why everyone don't give up the old coffee and the troubles that go with it and build themselves up as I have done, with Postum."

WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, obtained by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially, and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy, and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
