TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NO. 49. IN BRADING ARE you buttoned? If not, you are not in the fashion. And you must be well-buttoned; no mere dozen or two, but two or three gross, more or less. One gown that came through the custom house recently had just 998 flat, silk-covered buttons on it. But wasn't it just like the fantastic Parisienne to just stop short of the even thousand by two? Parisian to just stop short of the even thousand by two? There are flat buttons, and square buttons, and buttons like balls, and they are made of everything under the sun, and covered with anything that can be called fabric. Fig. 1 shows one of the most favored of fashion's freaks—the straight, hanging tunic, with pieces of net sutached from end to end. The princess gown itself is plain and straight, of plain red-rose souffle silk, and over it hangs the sutached garment. Fig. 2 shows how fantastic fashion can be when she tries. This is a severe princess gown of tobacco-brown cloth braided serpentine fashion in black souffle. Fig. 3 shows a gown souffle from top to toe. It's a beautiful thing, but it cost a pretty penny. Soutaching comes high when it is handwork. This gown is a Nattier blue that adorable faded color—and the material is a soft satin damask. The braiding is in black, giving a rich effect. The corsetlet is a black souffle satin laid on folds and fastened at the back with small flat rosettes of the satin. The hat is a gros turban of white felt trimmed with a fold and chou of black satin. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TWENTY-SIXTH IN BRA ARE you buttoned?

A frame of white silk wires can be bought at any of the shops, and there is a wide variety of popular shapes from which to choose. The frame should first be covered with fine white material and then the flowers are put on in a solid mass of color all over the entire surface of the hat. The brim is faced with shirred net or soft silk or satin in a pale color or harmonize with the blossoms. No trimming is required except, perhaps, a stiff cockade of wired black velvet ribbon, forming a many-loop bow at the left side. Black and white algrettes are also used on these hats. A close-fitting hat with a turned-down brim, was of geraniums in all the tones from the palest pink to deep crimson. The brim was faced with soft pink satin and at the left side of the crown was a knot and two loops of black velvet ribbon. Jet ball hats were worn, and the touches of black among the flowers were immensely attractive. Violet are charming, slender sprays of wistaria, scarlet poppies, tiny moss roses and English primoses make charming hats for wear with summer frocks. Hoslery In Style. The sheer gauze lilie stocking is to be the stocking of the season, and to insure it a hearty welcome this year it has been made extra long and turned down to the depth of three inches. This, it is thought, will overcome its aptness to break and tear from the strain it is subjected to by the hose supporters. Both silk and lilie hose are shown in the new taupe shades, a long range of bronze, tan, mustard and champagne tints, as well as shades to match all the fashionable colors in dress silks, which include wistaria, reseda, rose, catwa and all the dull, soft shades that in millinery are known as tapestry colors. While very thin plain stockings are to be the acme of smartness, lace or openwork hose are shown in no end of attractive patterns. Some are made with lace ankles and the upper portion plain, but the majority seem to be of the all-over openwork variety. Black Tulle Smart. Scarfs of black tulle, draped around the shoulders are very smart for evening wear. The Purple Tie. The speaker who rallied against the purple necktie and the wearer there of is suspected of lacking in artistic appreciation. What's the matter with purple? It is not frivolous, for it is used variously as the token of royalty or the emblem of mourning? It looks well in a rainbow, on a hat, in a garden. Why not in a tie? Compared with some prevailing reds it is mild and modest and shrinking. In connection with a purple nose, a tie of the same hue might be faulty as a THE GAZETTE Black and white linen or braid-embroidered. The cuffs are worn outside the coat sleeve. Very smart with new shepherd plaids. Like Armor. The culrass bodice which incases the figure from the neck or bust almost to the knees is often, in jet or spangles, a veritable armor. The last seen of this style until now was in the early '80s of the last century, when they are remembered for the flat, ungraceful appearance they gave their wearers. Nothing better shows the improvement in present dressmaking lines over the past than to-day's fashion in this sheathing garment. In most cases the culrass reaches only three or four inches below the hips; but in many instances it is seen well down to the knees. In the former case it is sure to fit like a glove from the top to the hem. But when it is long it becomes somewhat flowing in line; otherwise there would be no possibility of walking in or sitting in it. Taking Out Ink Stains. When ink has fallen on white linen it should be immediately dipped in buttermilk, if it is convenient, otherwise in sweet milk. Repeat until signs of the spots have vanished. If the ink has hardened several of the commercial eradicators can be trusted to take out the spot without holes. The woman who fears to use acids will have to fall back on lemon and salt plentifully applied with hours in a hot sun. One colored laudress dips her ink-stained garments in hot tallow, then washes out the tallow with very hot water and a little borax. color scheme, but despite disparagement it cannot be regarded as indicative either of a vacuous mind or a soul adrift.

WORSE THAN 50 LYNCHINGS! Jeffries Arousing Race Prejudice- Protest Against His Appealing to Race Hatred—Never Whipped a Good Heavyweight Sullivan Wildlife Wins—Finished Will Never Laurels Back to White Race. ("Hotspur" in Buffalo Daily Enquirer, "All Pittsburgh is crazy to-day, as crazy as any fabled March hare, and all because of the visit to Smoketown of James J. Jeffries, a big hunk of human flesh, who is parading around the country showing his shape and stalling off reporters with refusals to state when he will meet big Jack Johnson, Negro, for the title of heavyweight champion, who is fighting more to-day in this country to foster race hatred than any 50 lynchings in the South, for this man who was once champion and who again and again refused to fight Johnson, is now trading on white men's hatred of the colored man, by posing as the only one who has a chance to meet this sable scraper. Jeffries will not fight Ketchup or Burns or any one else. He intends to "fight one more ring battle, he says, and that one more ring Johnson, we will be taking on the Caucasian race the championship. Fine, isn't it? And there are many who are of the opinion that Jeffries is 'not all white' himself; that he has a strain of Indian blood in him. Jeffries is all right in his way, but what did he ever do, when it comes right down to cases, to stand as the champion of the white race? When he was fighting he defeated a middle-wicket, Fitzsimmons, and Corbett. It has always been a question in the minds of many whether he ever whipped the former or not, to most of those who witnessed that battle between the sailor and the boilermaker, Sharkey's winning of 23 out of 25 rounds should have entitled him to the decision that night at Coney Island. Never a battle of importance that Jeffries went into but lasted away up into a number of rounds. For his size and weight he should have been a champion of the Caucasian; but Sullivan in his prime would have annihilated the Californian. Let Jeffries fight Johnson if he so desires, but we protest against him going about the country arousing race hatred and shouting that the only rea- son that he will fight Johnson is because Johnson is black, and he wants to bring back the championship to the white race. Let me prophesy right here: "If it depends upon Jim Jeffries to bring back the title to the Caucasian race, then it will always remain the property of a Negro." A FINE RALLY.

More lynchings, more trouble, more everything, since he has been in office. I cannot understand what is true about him. I am anxious to see the time come when we will have an opportunity to elect another president. I would rather have one Coosevelt than a dozen Tafts. Lord, I pray Thee to hasten the day when Taft's time will be out, and then kick me if I in any way advocate his re- election. He is South, and to do this he will have to wipe out the Negro. He must be a thing of the past, and the president has invited this when he said that Negro would be appointed to office when he was distasteful to the white man. Every Negro in this country is distasteful to a white man when he has a good chance with the white man himself, himself in daltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger. Marshall Jackson Marriage Olean, N.

A NUMBER OF TEXAS AFRO-AMERICAN FEDERAL OFFICEHOLDERS DISPLACED BY UNITES HON. R. L. SMITH ONE OF THOSE "FIRED" The President's New "Southern Policy" is Working Against Us in the Same Way All Over the South, Particularly—Now, "Hurrah for Taft!" (The Texas Freeman.) The policy of President Taft to eliminate Negroes from federal offices has spread to Texas and resulted in white men being appointed in the places of two deputy internal revenue collectors in the southern portion of the state. The appointment of Stanley Rifenberg (white), who has taken up quarters in Houston as successor of N. Q. Henderson, was announced several weeks ago. This district over which Mr. Henderson had jurisdiction extended from the Colorado river to the Sabine river and embraced about 30 counties in all. The appointment of a successor (white) to Mark Rogers, who was stationed at LaGrange, has also been announced. The district of Mack Rogers covers a large amount of territory west of LaGrange. The Freeman is informed that Hon. R. L. Smith, deputy United States marshal at Paris, Tusc., surrendered his office some weeks ago. Mr. Smith was office deputy in Col. A. J. H. Houston's office, on a salary of $2,500 a year. He, too, has been succeeded by a white man. (Dr. W. D. Crum of Charleston, S. C., was succeeded as collector of the man appointed by President Taft; the American postmaster of Florence, S. C., and Darien, Ga., and many other Afro-American federal officeholders in the South—all since March 4 last, Taft inaugural day.—Ed.) COMMENDS DISFRANCHISEMENT Hoke Smith's Contemptible Views—Roasts Northern Philanthropists. Atlanta, Ga.-At the opening session of the state legislature on the 23rd ult., Gov. Hoke Smith, in his final message, dealt with the race question and incidentally discussed the recent firebrand's strike on the Georgia railroad, saying "The new franchise law prescribes qualifications for the exercise of the right to vote, which will protect even the smallest community from those who, unable to control themselves, are utterly unfit to vote upon the rights of others. "Discuss the schools of the state, Smith said, in part: "The future of our state requires that there shall be no illiteracy among the white children. I do not mean any unkindness to the Negro children by this discrimination, but I do not believe instruction from books, except of a simple character, is of any effect. A considerable portion of them Edwards will be for life, with a view to the character and possibilities of the children. "The difference between the races should be recognized by the county school commissioners and they should not hesitate to do so on account of the maudlin criticisms that may come upon them from certain classes of would-be voters. In sections who do not understand the true nature of the Negro or the true relations of the races." Got What He Deserved Columbus, Ga.—Intense excitement prevailed here June 21 over the finding of the dead body of William Leonard, a prominent planter in Taltowt county, in the house of William Corraker, an Afro-American, with his heart pierced by a bullet. Corraker is missive about a number of aposse who invaded the home of an Afro-American preacher late the night of June 20 and took him to the woods near here, with the avowed intention of lynching him for preaching incendiary doctrines. For some unaccountable reason Leonard became separated from his companions. A search was made, which ended in the finding of the body in Taltowt county, he doubtless went after Corraker's wife. Another posse started out in the afternoon to look for Corraker. Hope and pray that it will not catch him. Plenty of Slavery Still in the South Washington, D. C.—That there is still a necessity for continued support by the federal government to correct the evils of peonage (slavery) in many parts of the South, has been asserted by Representative Bennett of New York, who has just returned from an amalgamation of the additions in southern states, Mr. Bennett, Representative Burnet of Alabama were appointed by the house to make a tour of the South as members of the immigration commission. They will report to congress at the next session, and for that reason are not willing to attend the convention at present, but Mr. Bennett said that the report would recommend drastic legislation that he hopes will stop peonage in many parts of the South. Verdict Against Mahoning Valley A jury in Judge Robinson's court room on Thursday afternoon brought in a verdict of $2,625 for Harry Collins in his suit for damages for personal injuries against the Mahoning Valley Railway company. Collins was thrown against the side of a car in the Public Square on February 13, 1909, when the car upon which he was riding was choked by a dog. He sued for $15,000. Hon. W. R.

"The noblest Roman of them all"—Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio. We have always held James Whitcomb Riley, the great Indiana poet, in the highest esteem, regardless of all the criticism visited upon him years ago, and certainly shall continue to do so. His presence, address and conduct at Dayton last Saturday is enough to "last us for a while." In spite of a number of convictions under the Roosevelt administration, peonage (slavery) continues to thrive in many sections of the south. The activity of United States courts and authorities prior to this year, in fighting the evil, will hardly be continued during the present administration because of President Taft's courting of the prejudiced south. William Corraker of Columbus, Ga., is a pioneer in the anti-lynching work. His is possibly the most effective way to put a stop to mob violence directed against the race. We sincerely trust that he escapes the hands of the mob seeking him for trying to protect his wife and home, but if he does, a monument ought to be erected to his memory somewhere in this country, because he will have become a martyr. We are proud to note the fact that his kind has steadily increased in the last ten or fifteen years. "Jim" Jeffries, ex-champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, is proving a far more dangerous person to the race than to Champion "Jack" Johnson. His prejudiced statements and interviews, being published in the narrow-minded and sensational daily press of the country these days, are very harmful indeed. His only excuse for them is the fact that they promote the financial interests of the vaudeville company with which he is identified. Jeffries will never be able to fight Johnson and knows it, but he is wheedling the dollars out of the pockets of his kind (prejudiced) among his own people, and that is all he is after. It is simply impossible to find words in the English language with which to properly characterize the contemptible statements relative to the education of our children in his state, of Hoke Smith, retiring governor, at the opening session of the Georgia legislature on the 23d utl. The man's overweening racial prejudice has produced a narrowness of mind and a brazen efrontery that rivals that of Tillman, Vardaman, Dickson, and their ilk. That the boasted American civilization even tolerates their kind is one of the strongest arguments against it. There is something radically wrong with a people that will make so much in the public print of what such men say and do. It does not seem to occur to the southern plantation owner that he has no right to expect efficient care of mules and machinery for the low wages paid by him. The desirability of low-priced labor, a heritage of slavery times, is an idea so ingrained in the southern mind that it is difficult to dislodge. The economic truth is, of course, that industrial progress is impossible with poorly paid and inefficient labor. Under primitive industrial conditions the exploitation of cheap labor may mean wealth for a few, but not industrial development for the community. Had slavery continued, the south industrially would be farther behind today than it actually is. But the breaking of the slave's shackles did not destroy in the mind of the south the economic heresy that poorly paid labor is cheap labor, when comparative efficiency is taken into account. WHITE TROOPS FOR FT. BROWN It was announced Monday at Wash- ington, D. C., and Brownsville, Texas that President Taft had ordered the war department to send two companies of white troops to occupy Fort Brown, formerly held by Companies B C and D, of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who were discharged without honor from the service by President Roosevelt and his secretary of war, William Howard Taft, following the alleged Brownsville riot. President Roosevelt refused to do this very thing and prac- tically abandoned Fort Brown, which has been without soldier occupants, with the exception of a caretaker, ever since the alleged "affray." President Taft, in pursuance of his new "southern policy," is conceding, and acceding to every request of prejudiced white southerners, and therefore "takes pleasure" in sending the com- panies mentioned above to Brownsville or rather Fort Brown which are practically one and the same, as a portion of the latter lies within the former. As a matter of information, it might be well to add here, that although the "Brownville Court of Inquiry," provided for in Senator Foraker's bill, which was passed after nearly a three years' fight at the last session of congress, organized in Washington, D. C., nearly a month ago, and which has only a year to live, has not, up to date, examined a single member of "The Black Battalion," although a large number of them have made application for examination with a view to being reinstated in the army, and thus getting their back-pay, all of their privileges, etc. (lost when discharged with out honor), as provided for in the senator's bill, now a law. SOCIAL EQUALITY SYCOPHANTS President Rufus S. Stout, of Williams Industrial College, Little Rock, Ark., at the request of a New York paper, sent his view of the racial question, presumably in the south, and it was good as far as it went, but in one or two things it did not go far enough. He said: "The social question between the (white and colored) races is settled." Had he carried that remark a little further and said also that social equality among the members of each race as well as "between" the races, is "settled," thus forcing to the front the silliness of the south's continued riding of its mythical "social equality" hobby, he would have very properly called attention to the fact that there is no such thing as social equality practiced BY the races, or between them. This fact should be forced to the front as often as possible by our leading men and women, as well as by all others who are not being fooled by the social equality nonsense of prejudiced persons, north or south. President Stout's other statement, which is open to criticism, is the positively silly and harmful statement that nothing should be done to disturb the peace and happiness of the people of the south. This is the rot that President Taft continues to hand out. In plain taut, it means that the prejudiced white people of that section must be allowed to go on lynching and robbing southern Afro-Americans of their suffrage and civil rights, privileges and anything else they may want, and nothing must be done by the government or others in authority, to put a stop to it, because, forsooth, nothing must be done to "affect their peace and happiness." Of course, the peace and happiness of our people of that section does not count with President Stout, President Taft and their cowardly kind. There is entirely too much willingness upon the part of leading Afro-Americans of the south, some of the north, and many so-called white-friends of the race in the north, to accept such harmful dictums, as the two referred to and others, which are pushed forward by enemies of the race in the south for one purpose, and that only, and that is to force the Afro-American of that section down beneath all grades and kinds of whites in the south. President Stout and men of his apparent intelligence and ability, south and north, certainly must know this, and knowing it should either make correct and proper statements when appearing in the public print or refrain from so doing. The south has made far too many converts, in recent years here in the north, to its fool ideas, largely as a result of the most unfortunate and harmful statements made by influenced and misguided southern Afro-Americans of the President Stout kind. To this number must be added the cowardly Afro-Americans who willingly "bend the knee that thrift may follow fawning." Among these latter are to be found, principally, promoters of educational institutions in that section of the country. Occasionally an unprincipled Afro-American will bob up, who simply seeks to promote his personal interests. AMERICAN PERSECUTION Of Afro-Americans and Japanese, and What It May Result In. Can the American people, as believers in applied Christianity and the universal brotherhood of man, allow the damnable outrages and disfranchisement of the Negro by a lot of cut-throat politicians, as in Oklahoma, where the laws of state put a premium on the rights of black people to race by taking away even the equal rights before the law? Can the American people forget that in every critical conflict of this country Negro blood has flown in the same streams as those of the white? Do they know that there is enough wealth among the Negroes in the richest empire in the world? Will these people whose grandmothers were Negroes be too cowardly to join an alliance between persecuted races for mutual protection of life and a suppression of crime as is now increasing? Are they willing to help the Negroes in the war when possible? Was it the Negroes' immorality that produced millions of these white "Negroes" who are living in daily fear that some black relation will the American people force an alliance between the Negro and the Japanese whose object is to prevent these two races from having work necessarily to sustain their families and maintain life? Will the people of America, who have listened to self confessed murders of a United States senator like Tillman, or a publicly accepted Hybrid like Vardaman, be satisfied with the harvest as it shall be, or could not all please have equal right to labor that life must be sustained? Neither the Japanese nor the Negro have sought social equality. But both have a right to demand equal rights.—Ex.

PARTY MUST LIVE UP TO PROMISES PRESIDENT TAFT WARNS CON GRESS AND LEADERS OF RE- PUBLICAN PARTY. HIS SPEECH AT YALE ALUMNI The President Had a Buey and Interesting Day as the Honored Guest at the Annual Commencement Exercises. New Haven, Conn.—President W. H. Taft paused in the course of an after-dinner speech to 1,800 graduates of Yale, gathered at the annual alumni feast, to issue a serious note of warning to congress and to the leaders of the Republican party. The president declared that if the party which placed him in power and so long had controlled the government failed to live up to its promises and the e-pctations of the people it would be relegated to the position of a minority opposition. Mr. Taft had been speaking publicly at Yale, own college days which made his sudden change to a serious tone of the important utterances upon national affairs all the more impressive. After paying tribute to others upon whom the university conferred honorary degrees, the president came down to Secretary Dickinson and said: To Secretary Dickinson and said: "You went south of the Mason and Dunne line to get a secretary of war to give a message because he is going to build the Panama canal, and other universities will follow where you got in early. One of the difficulties that has confronted brother Dickinson is that the temporary residence was a discussion as to what constituted an orthodox Democrat, and whether really he ought to be counted as a Democrat. if he allowed it, then he would be Well, when you come to discuss what is a Democrat these days, you are presented with very much the same difficulty that I have before me now in giving certain facts about the law as to what whisky is. They say there is 'straight' whisky and then there is 'rectified' whisky and there is 'imitation' whisky. Now I speak with a friend who is a Democrat, my friend Dickinson is a 'straight' Democrat or a 'rectified' Democrat. I would not dare to say in his presence that he is a Democrat, and speaking seriously. I consider myself most fortunate that I was able to obtain for the important place in my cabin a man who represented the highest degree of knowledge in his patriotism and whose coming into the cabin was significant of the friendliness of a large element in that southern state, and in my heart to bring close to the north. "Now, my dear friends, in suggesting differences among Democrats I am far from ignoring some difficulties that there are between us. Mr. Charles Francis Adams gave what I may call a perfectly Adams reason for the election of the Democratic candidate, Mr. Francis Adams, and said that one of the essentials of a successful free government was an able, patriotic and efficient opposition and that the Republican party failed in reaching that ideal, he was in favor of putting the Republican party in that place. Now I venture to say that the Republican party has promised and what the American people shall move the American people, it is true that if the Republican party does people expect it to be a position, like that of His Majesty's opposition. And therefore I may say by a great that we have troubles of our own." The president had a busy and interesting day as the honored guest of the Yale commencement exercises. In cap and gown he walked in the dignified procession of graduates, fellows and faculty to the commencement ceremonies in Woolsey hall. He attended a meeting of the Yale Corporation, spoke at the midday dinner of the alumni, presided over a meeting held for the purpose of arranging for a memorial for Yale men who died on both sides in the civil war, stood for nearly two hours with President Hadley at the commencement reception and rushed at night to his train. STRIKE CRIPPLES 15 PLANTS Open Shop Order of the United States Steel Corporation Resented by the United States Steel Corporation Pittsburgh, Pa.—Fifteen plants, with a total capacity of 190 hot mills, were crippled or entirely tied up by the strike order that went into effect in the union sheet and tintplate mills of the United States Steel Corporation, according to claims made by officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers. The total number of men on strike is estimated at 7,000. The strike is the outcome of the open shop order posted four weeks ago by the American Sheet & Tintplate Co. at all its mills throughout West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The independent manufacturers tried to get a three-months' agreement pending the outcome of the battle with the American Sheet & Tintplate Co., but the Amalgamated Association refused to consider anything but a twelve-months' scale. The independents finally agreed to accept last year's scale without change. Shake-Up in Gotham's Police Officials. New York City.--After a lengthy investigation Mayor McClellan has ordered one of the most severe shake-ups in the history of the New York police department. The upheaval comes with the mayor's decision in favor of George B.

The finding is a victory for William J. Gaynor of Brooklyn, a justice of the state supreme court. Newspaper Man Passes Away New York City.—John J. Jennings, for 17 years the editor-in-charge of the magazine pages of the Evening World, is dead at his home here. He was 56 years of age and had been engaged in the newspaper work since 1875. He began his newspaper career on the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, then came to the New York World, and returned to St. Louis, where he was manager of the Post-Dispatch. In 1890 he came to New York again and had been on the staff of the World since that time. MARRIED IN MID-AIR A FOURTH OF JULY STORY APT. MARMADUKE KEENE had been delayed in Washington long past the time for flight, but even the capital city could not hold him during the uproar of a Fourth of July celebration. On that day he fed precipitately to the country, taking refuge in the peaceful seclusion of the T Bandalla Country club, over in Virginia, where he planned to pass a quiet day on the links. Yet Marmaduke Keene was no stranger to war's alarms. His car was accustomed to martial music and the deafening din of carnage. Indeed, his first mad act after escaping from college was to fare forth in a very successful search for experience. He was a soldier of fortune in South Africa, in Manchuria, and in the 'Philippines; he explored far-away countries at the peril of his life, and sailed the seas on dangerous filibustering expeditions; only returning to the United States and to the District of Columbia when summoned by the illness of his mother. He was then just 30, with the worldly'experience of a man of 60. Handsome, athletic, resolute, a man of unusual impulses and cool audacity, he was possessed of a spirit that enabled him to brush aside obstacles and hew his way to success in any undertaking. But Capt. Keene was human, and his return to America sealed his fate and put an end to his globe-trotting. At the inaugural ball which he was induced to attend, he met the beautiful and accomplished Marjory Ames, and surrendered to her without a struggle. Miss Ames was the ward of the rich and influential Senator Hockheimer, and was the social attraction of the season in Washington. Capt. Keene danced with her, talked with her, monopolized her, and resolved in his heart to marry her. The chance of failure did not enter into his calculations. It did not matter to him that Miss Ames had a hundred ardent suitors, or that one of them, a dark-skinned, blue-blooded foreigner attached to the French legation, might be regarded as a dangerous rival, to say the least, stnee gossip had it that he was already engaged to the brilliant American heirs. Count du Chatelet, the French attache referred to, danced attendance upon Miss Ames with treeless and unremitting vigilance. Furthermore, while his attentions apparently were not encouraged by that lady, she accepted them with an air of humility, as if in duty bound. A few days after the ball Senator Hockelmer with his charming ward, in company with a gay party of excursionists, departed on a trip to Yellowstone park and the Pacific coast. As Count du Chatelet disappeared a week later, Keene shrewdly guessed that he had followed them. As a matter of fact, the love-smitten captain was possessed of a similar incellation, but certain business matters pertaining to the family estate kept him in Washington. And thus it came 3 "And the Lady?" He Demanded Sharply, about that he sought a temporary asylum at the Bandalla Country club on the Fourth of July. His friend Maxwell approached him as he lounged on the clubhouse pizza, evidently freighted with extraordinary press of news. "Captain, what do you think?" he exclaimed, excitedly. "I've just come from Pebbletown. They are celebrating the Fourth over there. The main event on the program is a big balloon ascension. It is to come off precisely at three o'clock, and—listen man! There is to be a real wedding in the clouds! Fancy that! And the bridegroom is no less a personage than our friend, Count du Chatelet—" "What!" Marmaduke Keene leaped to his feet so suddenly that a camp chair went into collapse with a crash and a clatter. "And the lady?" he demanded, shramly. "I didn't learn her name, but I suspect—" Keene heard no more. He darted into the house and ordered his automobile brought to the door with all possible dispatch. Coming back he said, hurriedly: "Maxwell, I'm going to Pebbletown. It's only a ten-mile run. I want you to go with me. Come! I think we can make it by three o'clock." In a few minutes they were speeding away in a six-cylinder car toward Pebbletown. The people of Pebbletown were celebrating the national holiday on the village green. A gigantic spherical cupola rose above the heads of the crowd. It was a captive balloon, already inflated. The people were all agog, for it had been announced that morning that a couple from Washington would be married in the balloon. The town clock was on the stroke of three. The eyes of the crowd watched with eager expectancy. A man in the garb of a minister of the Gospel and a beautiful young woman of aristocratic bearing had already taken their places in the car. At a little distance stood the Frenchman, Count du Chatelet, exchanging a few hurried words with the whiskered aeronaut before joining his bride-elect. At that tense moment the accident occurred. Suddenly, and without warning, the cable that held the balloon parted from its moorings. With a tremendous lurch the huge monster bounded into the air with its precious freight. A horrified gasp and groan went up A man is flying in a hot air balloon. He is holding a rope that is attached to a basket. Inside the basket, there are two men. One man is sitting on the edge of the basket, looking out at the sky. The other man is standing on the ground, looking up at the basket. The sky is filled with clouds. Balloon Soared Higher and Higher. from the crowd. Everybody, including the aeronaut and the Frenchman, seemed rooted to the spot. "Out of the way there!" shouted a voice in imperious command, and a bare-headed man came dashing through the crowd with the speed of the wind. With a mighty, upward leap he caught the end of the dangling rope before it could pass beyond his reach. Clinging to it with grim desperation, he was jerked high above the tree-tops in an instant. It was a thrilling moment. The people held their breath, expecting every second to witness a frightful tragedy. Their straining eyes beheld the white faces of the clergyman and the lady looking down over the rim of the car, as the balloon soared higher and higher. They could see the man climbing hand over hand up the swinging rope like a trained athlete. He was plainly outlined against the sky, but his figure rapidly diminished to the size of a big spider. The awful certainty that he must fall and be dashed to pieces on the earth below paralyzed every tongue. At last, when the balloon seemed scarcely larger than a child's top in the blue vault above, those with the keenest vision saw the man pull himself over the side of the car. "He is safe!" shouted Maxwell, standing erect in the automobile. "That man is Capt. Marmaduke Keene," he explained, when the spectators began to bombard him with eager inquiries. "He knows all about the management of balloons. It was a part of his military training in the Japanese war." A white-faced Frenchman, cowering on the outskirts of the crowd, pulled his hat over his eyes and walked rapidly toward the railroad station. It was two hours later when the fugitive balloon came to earth, undamaged. Its landing place was in an open field in the adjoining county, but Maxwell, accompanied by the aeronaut and a Pebbleton doctor, had followed its course in the automobile, and were on hand to congratulate its occupants on their return to terra firma. Marjory Ames was tremulous and tearful, but apparently happy. Presently, Capt. Keene drew Maxwell aside and said, in a confidential tone: "Maxwell, old man, congratulate me." "Why. I've already done that." "Do it again. I'm married." "A- a- what?" "I'm married. Marjory Ames has just became Mrs. Keene. The ceremony was performed by the dominie there while we were sailing among the clouds. He was surprised, but he did not hesitate after Marjory gave her consent. Of course, there will be a public ceremony later. Maxwell, that Count du Chatletet is a scoundrel—a scoundrel and a hypnotist. He had Marjory completely in his power. They have just returned from the Pacific coast. Senator Hockelheimer was called to New York on business, and the Frenchman cunningly arranged this marriage in a balloon. I'll tell you all about it by-and-by." Maxwell was Marmaduke Keene's best man at the public ceremony, which occurred two weeks later.

If the "leading" Negroes in the South are in no position to strike out for the dignity and political equality of the people, they are courage those in the North and West who are defending them and demanding for them the plain rights of American citizens, by vulgar criticisms and comparisons. But for the sleepless vigilance of the colored men sojourning beyond the lines of inequality and injustice, no man could well dispute and fate of certain portions of our constitution—New York National Review. The height of the ambition of many of our boys and girls, men and women, who frequent Central avenue between East 9th and East 40th streets, seems to be to appear comedians, a la Williams & Walker, and thus attract the attention of passersby they can see. The people of that section of the city and all of our people generally, they do. This, too, in spite of the fact that thousands of persons are daily carried in the Quincy avenue cars to Luna Park out that way, and are witnesses of the monkeyshines of would-be comedians. Madam C.

Walker of 5707 Mignonette avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa., the discoverer and manufacturer of Walker's wonderful hair gift, has noticed dresses and stops the hair from falling out as well as starting it growing again, is in the city, a guest of the Philadelphia hotel, 2733 Central avenue. She arrived Monday from Columbus and will remain about one week. The madam is the only living woman known to positively grow hair, and does all that she agrees to do. Persons desiring to see her should call promptly to the Philadelphia hotel. "But they (the recent Georgia strikers) cannot win permanently along that line. They have got to learn to bring the colored workers into their organizations, just as they have already learned to bring immigrant whites into their organizations, and treat them as equals in the labor movement. They may and should follow their own choice in the matter of social intercourse. That has nothing to do with the question of whether a particular position in only choice will be either to have their organizations smashed by the competition of Negro labor mobilized against them by the capitalists, or else to give them the hand of brotherhood and enlist them in the fight for labor against capital."—New York Evening Call (Socialistie).

The child is a girl, born in December, and is one of the most attractive babies I have seen for some time. She is legally in our possession; so if we could find a family which, on investigation, would prove to be the right sort of a family to take the child and bring it home, would turn it into legal adoption. The child. I am sure, would brighten and cheer a home where there is a real desire on the part of the parents for a baby. If you can be of any assistance in the matter, it will be greatly appreciated by us." The undersigned has been duly appointed and qualified as administrator of the estate of Leroy A.

Strangely Enough, English Firm Failed to Understand Letter from Its Japanese Agent. An English firm, whose shipment of goods was delayed in reaching Japan, received the following communication from their newly-appointed Japanese agent: "With regard to the matter of escaping the penalty for non-delivery of this—there is only one way to creep round same—by diplomat. We must make a stir or strike occurring in our factory. Of course big untreue. I place my presence on inclosed form of letter and believe this will avoid the trouble of penalty of same. As Mr. _____ is most religious and competent man, also heavy upright and godly, it fears me that useless to apply for his signature. Please therefore attach same at Yokohama office, making forge. But no cause for fear of prison happenings, as this often happens by merchants of high integrity.

They grew so large that I sent for the doctor but, instead of helping the eruption, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then I went to a second doctor who said it was eczema.

I consulted doctors for months, but they were unable to cure the baby. I paid out from $20 to $30 without relief. One evening I began to use the Cuticura Remedies. The next morning the baby's face was all white-instead of red. I continued until the eczema entirely disappeared. P. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon, Ia., July 13, '08." Potter Drug & Chem.
