MANY USES OF TISSUE PAPER
Especially Is It Valuable When Packing a Trunk—How It May Be Applied.
We cannot overestimate the value of tissue paper if we are of the traveling public. While it is delightfully careful and neat to own a vast array of shoe bags, one to the pair, and bags and slipcovers galore for parasols, hair brushes and each thing we want to separate from every other, the fact remains that they take up a far too generous proportion of our trunk space. Tissue paper, which is a very good substitute, takes up none of the valuable room and is in no way open to criticism. It is clean, white and dainty; quantities of it are available at any time, and there is no better material for filling sleeves and tucked or puffed gowns to keep them from crushing. Tissue paper should be crumpled and poked into ribbon or lace hat bows and among hat flowers, and should surround the hat itself to keep it from flattening against the sides of the box or trunk lld.
Each pair of dainty gloves and all neckwear should be separately wrapped. Layers of it to separate the varied contents' of the trunk will make the terrible business of unpacking less difficult.
Travelers who have packed with tissue paper have been quite won over to its use.
IN SAILOR STYLE.
1
This dress, made in the ever-favorite sailor style, would look well in cream serge. The skirt is entirely plaited, and is stitched at the foot. The novelty lies in the blouse, which is cut in two pieces, and arranged in a wrapped seam. A box-plait is made down the center of front, which fastens up to the neck; the pocket sewn at the left side will be found most useful. White silk embroidered collars and cuffs edged with frills are worn and give a pretty effect.
Hat of coarse straw, trimmed with
puffed net crown and roses.
Materials required: 4 yards serge
46 inches wide.
Ribbon Hair Band.
Ribbon Hair Band.
A rather wide band of ribbon brought up round the hair and tied in a broad girlish bow at one side is a French head finish much favored.
Sleeveless Gauze Coats.
Sleeveless coats of gauze or net give a dressy touch to a costume. They are designed primarily for wear indoors.

MAKES A NOVEL NECK PIECE
New Ruch Designed to Be Worn with Soft Summer Silk Is Easily Made.
A rather new little ruch to be worn with soft summer silk or other one-piece frocks is made of liberty satin, or chiffon, with long ends that look almost like a sash.
The material is fastened around a boned collar lining, fastened at the back, and is laid in flat plaits or is tucked in clusters of thread tucks.
To conceal the opening which comes a little to the left rather than in the middle of the back, is a small rosette of the material, from which hang two long ends that come well below the waist.
Sometimes these ends are finished in a long pendant ornament of jet or silk the color of the stock. Again they have silk fringe, and occasionally they are hemstitched across the end in several rows.
With a gray silk frock a charming stock of this order could be made of tucked net a tone darker than the dress. Each tuck could be run with a line of silver thread. The fluffy rosette could have a flat button in the center darned with the silver thread, and the ends can be accordion-plaited with a deep silver tinsel fringe. It preferred, tiny silver bugles can be sewed to the bottom of the streamers. Any clever-fingered girl can make herself one of these fashionable new stocks—and use her wits to give old dresses and charming color effects.
Upside Down.
Women, indeed, are clever, but the one who saw a hat brim decoration in her unbecoming lace veil was more than ordinarily farseeing.
Now, the ornate and bordered veil has vied with the real lace fichu a hundred times for a place on the summer hat, but it has not done duty as a face veil and a hat trimming until this unusually resourceful woman turned the straight edge down and then spread the bordered part over the brim of her large leghn rn hat. This brought delicately scattered sprays and dots over her face in a more becoming scantiness and gave place on the hat for the full display of the handsome pattern on the border.
Panieros and Crinoline
Stiks, satins and brocades are at once suggested by the newest models, and not the soft, clinging fabrics so wonderfully adapted to the graceful, close fitting designs. Materials that can stand alone, the old-time standard of excellence, will once again be in demand, and unless there is a more concerted plan of action among all women where taste in dress stands for authority, there is really grave danger being seriously considered. This has been threatened time and again, but has always at the last moment failed to materialize: so it is to be hoped this time again the fashion will be killed before it becomes established.
Princess Hip Yoke.
The cuirass or princess hip yoke effect which has been conspicuous in imported gowns since the first openings of the season is being brought out in many unexpected ways. One of the newest is the entire princess gown with the lower part of the bodice and the hip portion of the skirt covered with embroidery, which makes them one in line and treatment. In this way it is possible to turn a two-piece gown into a princess, the simple process of covering the waist seam with embroidery or braid being all that is needed. Some of the trimmings of this kind are put in jacket or coat shape.

ITS ORIGIN AND GROWTH
SPLENDIDLY WRITTEN HISTORY OF WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY.
President of the Institution—Many Very Prominent Men Were Trustees and Members of Its Faculty—Bishops Daniel A. Payne and B. F. Lee—"Tawawa Springs."
Willber force University may be said to have three beginnings. As far back as 1833 the youngest of the conferences in the A. I. E. church, Oleo pontifexurg, uttered a word in favor of education. This was followed by other
University may be said to have three beginnings. As far back as 1833 the youngest of the conferences in the A. I. E. church, the Ohio or Pittsburgh utterance faculty of education. This was followed by other conferences, and in 1838 the Ohio conference required discourses annually on education. By 1843 the requirement was made of all local ministers. Then in 1844 a plan was formed by which a committee from the Ohio conference was to select it. It was erect a seminary on the "Manual Labor Plan," and educate young men for the ministry. It crystallized in 1845, when the committee appointed reported as having selected a location twelve miles west of Columbus, Ohio, costing $1,700. The purchase was made, and thus "Union Seminary," as it was named, was the first school for colored pupils in this county, opened in 1847 with M. Brown, afterward Bishop Brown, and Mrs. F. E. Watkins Harper, as teachers. This was the germ of the real beginning of Wilberforce University.
It was in 1853 that a decisive movement began in the Cincinnati conference of the M. E. church, looking to the education of the colored people. A committee recommended "the esteem establishment of the item in the West for the more effectual training of distinguished usefulness," but more especially to "prepare a sufficient number of teachers, male and female, to supply their schools with competent and well-trained teachers wherever colored may be needed." The report recognized and qualified ministers and teachers among the colored people, and we can think of no better plan than this to supply the lamentable deficiency. It is probable the number of colored people in our midst will greatly increase, hence the need for a number of intelligent and nious ministers and teachers to educate and train the race in a proper manner."
In this movement Rev. John F. Wright was chairman of the committee, and later became the general agent for the conference to take the first steps for a college for colored people in the State of Ohio. In October 1912, he and his general agent to negotiate with the owners of certain "Xenia Springs property," as being the most eligible location for such an institution. When negotiations seemed about to fail, Mrs. Judge McClean exerted her influence, and the owners of the county, Ohio, about three and one-half miles from Xenia, including 53 acres, with a large frame building and several cottages, was purchased for $13,500. It had been fitted up for a fashionable watering place, midway between Cincinnati and Columbus, at a distance. In the report this clause is found:
"It has been stated already that a most desirable location and buildings have been procured, which will, in a short time, be ready for occupancy. The project is regarded with great favor by all the prominent friends of the colored race, so far as their views and attitudes are informed, upon reliable authority, that the colored people themselves, especially in the neighborhood where the institution is located, are delighted with the enterprise. It has also attracted the attention of some wealthy gentlemen in the South, who have slaves whom they wish to emancipate and educate, and two such slaves are informed, upon reliable authority, that are now in Xenia awaiting the opening of the school. It will probably be necessary to the institution under the superintendence of a white principal for the present, but the design is to make it emphatically a colored people's college. The enterprise was carried through by the management of nearly two parties, Makes, Wright and French. The 24th of May, 1558, saw the matter closed, and Wm. Wood, John Elstner and W. B. Smith & Co. had faith and humanitarianism enough to endorse the necessary note to meet the conditions on time. It was on the 30th of the same year that at Tawawa Springs "Wilberforce University" was organized and constituted a body corporate by L. B. Johnston, C. L. Merrick, Dr. R. B. Johnston, C. L. Merrick, Dr. A. Lowery, M. Dustin, P. Merrick, Urith Heah, John Dubols, John Poffo, Bishop Daniel A. Payne, Wm. Moore—all white but A. D. Payne.
A board of trustees was elected and organized in the office of Lawyer M. D. Gatch in Xenia, Ohio—then a senator in the state legislature. Of the 24 members four were colored. M. Ishmael Keith of the Baptist church, Rev. Lewis Woodson, Mr. Alfred Anderson, a member of the congregation of the A. M. E. church at Hamilton Ohio, and D. A. Payne. Of the men who one was Gov. Chess of Ohio he was Secretary of the United States Treasury and later Chief Justice. The first president was Rev. Prof. Merrick, but he did not serve at the school. Rev. M. P. Gaddis, Jr., was the first teacher, who with his wife served six months when Prof. James K. Parker took
charge for two years. On his retirement and Prof. Merrick's declination of the presidency, Rev. Richard S. Rust was elected in 1858 and entered upon active service. He in later years was the leading secretary of the FFPS. Aid society and a friend of the school till his death, about two years ago. For five years the work went on. Bishop Payne lived upon the campus from the first and had much of the actual care and control of the institution. The full story of these years I fear is lost to history, save as it is the school catalogue of 1959, showed 207 students, the majority of whom were the natural children of South and Southwest planters. Then came the Civil War, and the school was broken up by withdrawal of its students and inability for further support. Then the opportunity of the school was made to it of the property for $10,000. It was settled by prayer and faith when Bishop Payne solemnly took it for the church. The articles of association in this reorganization of the university bear the signatures of Daniel A. Payne, James A. Shorter, John B. Payne, and Robert Nicholas (burn) and Robert Nicholas (marrk). The signatures of both articles are taken from certified copies of the originals, obtained by the writer but recently from the authorities. As soon as this was done steps were completed to effect the sale of the "Union Seminary farm," which had lived a precarious existence all these years, and was in the university. Thus the actual beginning of 1847 saw a new birth, in 1863.
Bishop Payne was the first president and Prof. John G. Mitchell became the first teacher. From the first, Bishop Payne sought for the best, and the university has had associated with it many men and women of name and worth, of education. They were drawn from England, Edinburgh, and the University of Oswego State Normal, but principally from Oberlin, which furnished the largest number in Prof. Mitchell, Rev. Henry C. Fry, Prof. John Smith, Prof. B. K. Sampson, Mrs. Maltyb, and in later years came the writer, Miss Anna J. Cooper and Miss A. H. Jones. Neither time nor space will permit the detailed account of the years; but all went well until 1865, when the buildings were fired by an incendary while the school was in Xenia at the celebration of the fall of Richmond, Miss Eather I., Maltyb of Oberlin, a building that was built in 1865 and the trials so broke down her health that she was forced to leave. She still lives and works for God's poor as a missionary in Macedonia under the American Board. But the building arose again by the efforts of Bishop Payne and earnest friends and struggled on. It grew as well. Rev. B. F. Lee, now Bishop Lee, succeeded to the presidency in 1870. He was in turn succeeded by Prof. S. T. Mitchell in 1884, who resigned in 1901, and laid down his earthly labors in the city. He was succeeded by Rev. B. F. Jones, who held the position until 1908. The writer succeeded him.
"Tawawa Springs" in 1855 was made up of 53 acres of land, finely timbered and watered, by mineral springs, with frame cottages, summer houses of distinguished people, lining the approach to the main frame building. At first it was but a primary school. Its theological and classical departments were opened in 1866, its arts department opened in 1872. In 1891 Payne Seminary was purchased and the theological department took on enlargement, with its first departmental faculty, Bishop Payne, Dr. J. G. Mitchell, Rev. G. W. Prioleau and Prof. W. S. Scarborough. In 1887 the State of W. S. reached out its arm to assist the university, and, because we were deprived as a school, we were forced to take action in the state, it exerted itself to give us what aid it could legally by supporting the normal and industrial departments in lieu of the land grant, which was given to Ohio State University, because no distinction was made on account of color. Over 50 years have passed. We have grown. Wilberforce University stands to-day with these three great departments, aside from the military, which supported by the national government, is the largest classical and scientific courses, music and art, and preparatory work. It covers now an aggregate of 348 acres of land, with five large brick buildings, including a Carnegie library, and 15 other buildings, brick and frame, power houses, farm buildings, shops, and homes for teachers. There are 32 members in the faculty and to the extent that the university added a business and typewriting course and 11 working industries, with several others yet to be added.
Wilberforce stands for the highest education of brain, heart and hand. It is located so as to carry on all with no hampering conditions, turning out young men and women with a full all-around equipment, who are brought under a social environment unique and unusual, found in a cultured community of Negroes who own their own land and are living in a higher living that is a constant inspiration to the young. Wilberforce University is at a point in its career where it should be fostered to the utmost as the great institution for higher education for the church and race. It can easily draw to it those who come from preparatory courses of other schools. The endowment it is seeking to raise at once to $100,000 most as the great encouragement for higher education of the entire church and the union of endeavor among all concerned, the school has a great future before it. It celebrated in Febuary its Founders' Day (the twenty-fourth) with an enthusiasm and interest never before witnessed. With that interest spreading throughout the connection as it should for the oldest Negro school of the country and the first school of the church there is a growing interest about larged future usefulness and growth.

Another Local Outrage.
Hon. Harry C. Smith, Dear Sir:—
you and your representatives have ac-
complished much in wiping out dis-
crimination against you; call
me in the following:
On Monday evening, July 5, I entered the "Grand Theater," corner E. Ninth street and Bolivar road, to witness the live-motion picture exhibition that was in progress. As I entered the balcony I observed quite a few of our people. After I had been comfortably seated, I looked about to see if all of them had been equally as fortunate. Almost directly in front of me I noticed a little girl and a woman, apparently to occupy a couple of vacant seats. A white man was also endeavoring to occupy the seat that the little girl wanted. After a quiet discussion the little girl settled the matter by pushing the man aside and taking the seat; whereupon the man deliberately sat in her lap, or rather between the two, partially on the lap of each. He sat there five minutes by my watch. Finally he was pushed off on the floor where he sat directly in front of them in a position as in front of their view. The spectators in the balcony had an opportunity to occupy the seat which he had made such a strenuous effort to obtain. While this event was going on there was not an usher to be seen. There were quite a few of our people who witnessed what I did and would probably verify what I have stated. I do not know whether the matter was reported to the man behind the troop. I think he behind me. Being a member of the race the matter concerned me, indirectly, and I don't think I am assuming too much by submitting this grievance to the one who has always interceded for the race.

THE UNION
OF AMERICA
PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR
Dayton, O.—The following is an editorial from the recent issue of the local Dally Herald: "Bury me beneath de willow, So I kain here its song."
Such was the poetic wish of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, as expressed in the inspiration of his "Death Song." At the invading army, Woodenbury, this afternoon, a willow tree was planted by his grave. Nothing could be more fitting than the honor that has at last been shown this native genius of Dayton, who ranks as the most distinguished bard of the colored race. Prominent men from other parts of the country have done themselves honor in being present on this occasion and participating in the exercises. Paul Lawrence Dunbar engages all men in all climates, states or city. He is the pride and delight of the whole human race. Dayton has produced many eminent men, notably Generals Wood, Schenck, Anderson and other heroes in war, and is noted for such captains of industry as Patterson, Barney and others. But they were not such international characters as the colored poet, who was known all men in all climates. English honor is spoken or where civilization has found its way. Although their genius pursued quite different lines, the name of the Wright brothers is the only one of any Dayton family that is better known the world over than that of Dunbar. Both names are now immortalized in history, the one with the classics of English literature and the other with the greatest invention of the century. One of the names of Woodenbury, Dunbar was the best known of any one who had ever lived in Dayton.
Dunbar's work contributed not alone to his fame, but also to the intellectual standing of his race. Born of parents who had been slaves and were without means to help him, he became an author that attracted the admiration of the highest critics in this country and the crowned heads of Europe. He has preserved the Negro dialect in his writings and verses, and no praise on this memorial occasion. Their merit has been as well established as that of any classic. Dunbar's poetry speaks more for him than can be told in any eulogy or story of his short, but eventful life. He left an inheritance for his race in that it could never be claimed that such intellectual productions could possibly come from an inferior being. Dunbar was born, reared and died in Dunbar. He did his great work here. Verses that he wrote in an elevator and in his humble home were read in palaces and found in every library. But he still lives the world over, and will continue to live like Homer, Horace and all who have sung so sweetly of their fellow-countrymen. Inventions may change all of the material devices in existence, but the works of Dunbar will be handed down to other ages as he left them. He was born in the city of New York, well as to his race and native city, and he deserves more than can be put in bronze or marble.

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.
Now there is talk of Senator Foraker as the next Republican candidate for governor of Ohio. We doubt very much that he would permit his name to be placed before the convention.
The "sour-grape" crop ought to be unusually large this year, owing to Champion "Jack" Johnson's offensiveness to prejudiced individuals, particularly sports and pin-headed sport-writers of daily newspapers. The conduct of the "gang" that saw the Johnson "Ross" bout in Pittsburgh, last week, missing the former even before the principles began sparring, is a case in point. Too bad, isn't it?
The indications now are that hundreds of appointments in and under the census department, that have been given to competent Southern Afro-Americans ever since the war of the rebellion, will be lost to them this year as a result of President Taft's despicable new "southern policy." This is the latest unfavorable news in Washington, D. C., dispatches to daily newspapers of the country.
HUNDREDS LOSE JOBS.
Postmaster Christian of Yorktown, Va., a member of the race, has been succeeded by a white man, recently appointed by President Taft, in spite of Mr. Christian's splendid record covering twenty-five years in the office and the endorsement of all of our people of that city and all of the business men (white) there except three. In addition to this, a delegation of the latter went to Washington and made an earnest protest to the postmaster general against Postmaster Christian's removal, but in valin. The president's new "southern policy" has caused hundreds of Afro-Americans in the South to lose federal positions in the last three months and more are to be dropped every week from the employ of the government. The Gazette warned our people of this very thing last fall during the presidential campaign and even prior to it. Our we were severely criticised and even abused by members of the race who knew of our life-long membership in the Republican party and activity in it and in behalf of the race. Many of them were paid to do so, it is true, and others expected jobs for themselves or their friends and acquaintances, that they will never get. No honest or honorable person can successfully question our loyalty to the race or to the principles of the Republican party as enunciated in its platforms of years ago, and upon which it stood to become great and powerful. Nevertheless we were attacked and most maliciously, too—for telling the TRUTH fearlessly and without favor.
GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH.
It is perfectly well understood in Georgia, and for that matter throughout the Southern states, but does not seem to have dawned as yet upon the consciousness of the outer world, that all that is best among the whites favors the idea of the Negro fireman, and all that is most shiftless and irregonible and insusate is on the other side.
The Negro to-day stands very much where he stood when a slave before the civil war. His friends and sympathizers then were of the class to which his owners belonged. His friends and sympathizers to-day are the descendants of those owners and their social congeners, whereby we mean the great mass of the cultivated, together with the land holders and the tax payers. The Negro's enemies "before the war" were the crackers, the sand billers and the wool hatters who were treated as less important than a well-fed slave Negro, and resented it accordingly. His enemies to-day are the descendants of those ancient antagonists. In the emotions and proclivities of the South there has been no change of importance in 300 years. The same old hatreds and resentments survive, the same vendettas keep to their stolid and relentless paths. The ante-bellum "cracker," shivering against his rickety fence, surveyed the pampered driver of the planter's coach and turned yellower than ever in his slow moving rancor. The cracker of the present time hates the progeny of the former slaves with all the ancient passion.
There is nothing else in it. Not more than one in ten of the mobs that have beset the Georgia railroad stations wants to work, or would know how to do it if he had the chance. They want to banish the Negro from his occupation, and the railway companies may go hang for all they care. On the other side are the preferences and sympathies of the substantial and responsible elements of the population. They are restrained in the matter of their demonstrations by
a sense of accountability to society, but their feeling is deep-seated, earnest, traditional, and in emergency available. It is idle, of course, to try to explain these problems to Northern people, who have neither the time nor the inclination to examine them. The academic class inspects the educated Negro as a new and interesting spectman, while others have no leisure to waste upon him; but the great mass of Negro artisans, mechanics, etc., are native to the South. Under the changed conditions induced by the civil war they retain the respect and good will of the sons and grand sons of their former masters. They occupy the places once occupied by their progenitors under slavery, and are environed by the same affection and solicitude; but the mob talks nowdays and the gentry hold their tongues. The reason is that Hoke Smith, the mob leader, is governor, and Joseph Brown, the friend of law and order, still awaits inauguration.
The struggle is gathering. It will spread beyond Georgia, and the end of it no man may prophesy.—New York Daily Sun.

Police Commissioner Bingham of New York Removed Because He Did Not Obey Mayor's Orders.
New York City—One of the most drastic upheavals in New York City's police history occurred when Mayor McClellan summarily removed Commissioner Theodore A. Bingham for insubordination, after the latter's refusal to comply with certain revolutionary orders issued by the mayor previously. The mayor's orders came at the conclusion of his investigation into the alleged persecution by the police of George B. Duffy, an inconspicuous and almost friendless Brooklyn lad, who it was averred, was repeatedly arrested without just cause and whose photograph was retained in the ruins, whose father's follicle.

Before and after he was elected the first time seven years ago. County Recorder Hermann Baehr, who has about 40 male and female clerks and copyists in his office, was asked by the editor of The Gazette to appoint one of our young men and one of our young women to positions in his office as a clerk and copyist, respectively. This was a modest request considering the fact that the Afro-American voters of this county constitute practically one-fourth of its total Republican vote. This entitles us to four positions in the recorder's office instead of two. For seven long years, in spite of the fact that he has a representative of nearly every other class or race of people in the community, in his office as clerks and copyists, Recorder Baehr has steadfastly refused to appoint any member of our race to any position within his gift, and now comes forward as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, begging us for votes. The duty of every self and race-respecting Afro-American in this community is perfectly clear as far as Mr. Baehr's latest candidacy is concerned.
Hon. Robert E. McKisson, when mayor of the city, appointed more Afro-Americans to positions than any other Republican mayor in the history of Cleveland. This is a well-known and generally recognized FACT. Then too, he is the only member of the party who, as mayor, has had any opportunity to make a record on the street car question (the burning issue of the campaign) which commends him to the masses of the people of this city. In point of ability and as a campaigner, he is recognized by all men, well acquainted with him and Mr. Baehr, as being greatly the latter's superior. His platform, which he announced recently, is one of the very best things that any candidate for office in the city of Cleveland has ever issued, and has commended his candidacy, for the Republican nomination for mayor this fall, to the great masses of Republicans and intelligent people generally, in the strongest possible manner. It is certainly an exceptionally strong and concise statement, showing unmistakably an exceptional familiarity with municipal affairs, and a most commendable determination to do those things most needed by Greater Cleveland and in the shortest possible time, if nominated and re-elected to the position of mayor this fall. And, that is exactly what we expect to see done because of the phenomenal growth in popularity of his candidacy within the week.
If Mayor Tom Johnson is to be defeated in November, the Republicans of this community must be led by a fearless and sterling campaigner, a man whose exceptional knowledge of municipal affairs, and whose record on the burning issue of the campaign, are such as to commend him to the masses of the people of this city. Such a man, is ex-Mayor Robert E. McKisson.
NO NEGRO NEED APPLY.
For seven long years Recorder Baehr has refused to appoint any Afro-American to any position in his office, 'though asked to so three different times by the editor of this paper, The Gazette. Now he is begging us for votes again—for the fourth time. 'ponder "what he takes us for?"
In 1900, the editor of The Gazette, then a member of the Ohio legislature, led the fight that made Herman C. Baehr a member of the park board. HE was also the RAGE, and not it, to him.

New York City—One of the most drastic upheavals in New York City's police history occurred when Mayor McClellan summarily removed Commissioner Theodore A. Bingham for insubordination, after the latter's refusal to comply with certain revolutionary orders issued by the mayor previously. The mayor's orders came at the conclusion of his investigation into the alleged persecution by the police of George B. Duffy, an incompe-
uous and almost friendless Brooklyn lad, who, it was averred, was repeatedly arrested without just cause and whose photograph was retained in the rogues' gallery despite the failure of the police to obtain a conviction against him. The mayor held that at least two of Gen. Bingham's lieutenants were guilty of misconduct in this affair and accordingly he demanded their removal.
With Gen. Bingham's retirement went several of his closest advisers and the leading supporters of his regime. As the head of the new regime the mayor at once appointed William F. Baker, hitherto a deputy commissioner.
STARTLING DOUBLE MURDER
Indian Student Kills Lieut. Col. Sir William Hutt Curzon Wylie and Dr. Calas Lalcaca.
London, Eng.—A startling double assassination of a political character occurred here towards the conclusion of a public gathering at the Imperial institute. An Indian student, whose name is not known, shot and killed Lieut. Col. Sir William Hutt Curzon Wylie and Dr. Calas Lalcaca of Shanghai.
Wylie, who has held important Indian appointments, fell dead on the spot. Dr. Lalcaca showed signs of life after he fell and was hurried to St. George's hospital, but on arrival there it was found that he was dead. Those near the assassin seized and held him until the arrival of the police. He had two revolvers, a dagger and a knife.
EARTHOUAKES AT MESSINA
Woman and Infant Killed, Broken Walls of Ruins Tumbled Down and People Terrorized.
Messina, Sicily—Messina experienced two terrific earthquakes, which were accompanied by roaring sounds and are said to have had a stronger and more undulatory movement than the earthquake of last December which destroyed Messina, Reggio and other cities, laid waste to many villages in Calabria, and killed 200,000 persons. Although later shocks had no such terrible consequences, the 25,000 residents of this city were panic-striken.
The broken walls of the old ruins were thrown to the ground and Messina was for a few minutes smothered in a cloud of dust. The casualties were few, and the only persons killed so far as is known were a young woman and her infant.
Jack Johnson has a hard time keeping out of jail long enough to get his meals regularly. Jack is being arrested for almost everything wherever he goes. In Boston they've been suing him for amounts ranging from $125 to $2,500. If he leaves his autobiography at a courthouse instantly for obstructing the street, and if he starts the thing and moves away along the road he's arrested for "speeding."
There are scores of cops in New York just lingering hopefully for Johnson's return. He'd be arrested for "speeding" if he was trundling a wheelbarrow.
Three Successful Flights.
Washington, D. C.-Calm, confident and nerveless, Orville Wright enriched the Fort Meyer drill grounds time after time in his aeroplane in three successful flights while a crowd of thousands cheered him for the success that attended his persistence and pluck.

Do You Want a Nice Baby?
General Agent, A. B. Williams of the Humane society, 406 City Hall, Cleveland, O. has sent the following letter to the editor of The Gazette:
"I wonder if, through your paper, you could help us in placing a little Colored child for adoption. 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 a child and bring it up, we would be for legal adoption. The child, I am sure, would help 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."

‘An Anatomical Wonder.
Senator Beveridge was. criticising
the ludicrous speeches of a certain up-
right but hot-headed congressman.
“He does make queer blunders,
doesn’t he?" sald Senator Beveridge.
“Have you heard about his latest?
“Weil, It seems: that a constituent,
visiting him recently, complained of
the shabbiness of a pair of ink:
Stained crash trousers that he had or.
~ “A man of your position,” said the
constituent, reproachfully, “ought to
wear handsomer trousers than those.
“The congressman, offended, an-
‘swered reproachfully:
“‘My trousers may be shabby, but
they cover a warm and honest heart’ ”

The Marital Grasshopper.
What 1s a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled torecuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
Nusbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands so engaged have come to be
locally known as “grasshoppers.” No
doubt the word is the husband of the
more familiar “grass widow.’—Lor:
don Chronicle.
Criticism shoula never exasperate

It is not common to find a person
who can correctly estimate the lapse
of a single second. ut, as an Eng.
lish writer remarks, in these days ot
speeding automobiles, the exact time
when each of two colliding vehicles
must have occupled particular spots
may be a matter of great importance
In @ recent experiment a car took
nearly two seconds to stop after
brakes were applied, and in that time
it moved 19 feet. So even fractions
of a second are important. One can
train oneself to estimate even tenths
of a second. Try it with & wateh, and
ft will be found that it is just pos
sible to count ten in the lapse of a
single second. But one must count
very fast to do it

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences,
‘A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of us-
ing Postum in place of coffee if one
vatues health and a clear brain, She
says:
“At the time Postum was first put
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum. I
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste, So I continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of its yalue, for I got well of my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
“My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and I persuaded
him to shift to Postum. It was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. It cer-
tainly worked wonders for him.
“We soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and does
not stimulate, but stegdily and honest-
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
“To make a long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results, aa shown in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed a rather unexpected im-
provement in brain and nerve power.”
Increased brain and nerve power
always follow the use ef Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. “There's a Reason.”
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, “The Road to Wellville.”
Ever read the above letter! A new

Save the Babies.
NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful, We can hardly realize that of
] all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save @ mar|
jority of theso precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints wih more or less opium, or
morphine, They aro, in considerable quantities, deadly’ poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard ciroulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must seo thet it bears the signature of
