Chiffon should be washed in soap lather by carefully rolling and pressing between the hands, then rinsed in clean water and stiffened in gum water, one tablespoonful to a quarter of a pint of water. Roll in a cloth to absorb some of the moisture, but it must not be too dry when it is ironed. To iron chiffon, it must be placed on the table wrong side up and ironed along the solvedg, as ironing across would displace the fibers and destroy the appearance of the delicate fabric. When the chiffon is being ironed it ought to be held tightly up in front of the iron to remove crinkles that are produced by washing and to make it quite even and smooth. Chiffon ties with a natural crepon crinkle should not be ironed, but instead the ends should be pinned out on a table, the tie just stretched enough to permit of the crinkles falling into their natural shape. When dry fold it without pressing the folds in, air and put carefully away. LINGERIE WAIST. Dainty waist of linen batiste made with groups of tucks and elaborately trimmed with embroidery and cluny lace. Hat Brims Turned Up. Hats are turned up at all angles around the brim, and the small hats are made by turning up the brim of an ordinary size hat very sharply at each side, while the brim in front and at the back is quite narrow; sometimes the brim is turned up at the right side (while the trimming is exclusively on the left), and sometimes at the back. THE GAZETTE is made up without lining in either white lawn, but colored lawn or white equally suitable.

The fashion of wearing transparent sleeves is certainly a comfortable one during warm weather; hence its great popularity, for these sleeves cover every type of arm imaginable—arms so fat they resemble small bolsters, thin arms, white arms and sallow ones. Indeed, until one has spent half an hour in the shopping district it is hard to believe there could be such a variety of arms. The fashion may be a pretty one as well as a comfortable one if the wearers would only back the sleeves with a thin white chiffon or mousseline de sole. This tone may be used whether the sleeves are white, black or a color. A novelty in parasols is being shown by a Broadway house that will appeal to patriotic young women. The covering is of the regulation tan khaki, embroidered with emblems of the different regiments in scarlet mercerized thread. Another novelty displayed at the same shop is a line of very pretty raffla belts at $1 each. For wear with a tan linen or a ponge frock these raffla accessories are considered very smart—Washington Star. To Stretch Curtains Use a quilting frame or a curtain stretcher converted into a quilting frame by tacking strips of ticking or any heavy material doubled to inch width on the inner edges of the frame where pins have been. Temporarily pin the curtains on four corners and at intervals on side, then sew them on, instead of pinning them, with a basting stitch. Scalloped edged curtains can be sewed on two at a time and three or more plain edged ones. It is surprising to see no peaks in scallops or straight edges and with less labor and time spent and with no sore fingers. There is no end to the variety of the scarf. A remarkably pretty one was in a soft tone of pale blue, the ends embroidered in graduated gold spots. Another was in a curiously patterned green gauze, with blue in it. This was bordered with dull silver gauze laid on in a flat band all round, and hemstitched. Even more curious is a gray gauze with the ends embroidered in overlapping scales like those of a fish, but in mother-o-pearl, not in the least like the ordinary sequin, but resembling some of the wonderful Japanese embroideries of the same kind. Buttons covered with the material of the gown on which they are employed are the latest development. A foulard frock just home from the dressmaker is trimmed solely with cords covered with the silk and with buttons of the same order. The Scarf. Buttons.

A TERRIFIC ARRAIGNMENT OR THE PREJUDICED SOUTH AND NORTH. "A MAN QUESTION; NO SECTIONAL QUESTION!" How All Americans Should Think of the Afro-American—None of Them "Understand" Him —The Real Sentiment, North and South, Revealed—Interesting! Some of the human race have always fostered their sense of superiority by degrading others; and, as Guizot somewhere says, they are not satisfied with the mere power to do so, but want to convince themselves somehow it is right. Capt. Marritt, frustrated with his characteristic when in "Midshipman Easy," the young "leveller" a convert in the person of the ship's cook, the menial hand on board, and reconverted the cook from his equality theory by having the captain hire a scullion, a grade of hand still lower. It is a characteristic which finds historical explanation and with reference to a great variety of standards. Every ten-penny James has had his nine-penny Jims. All races and all classes have experienced the hardships of this selfish attitude of their "superiors"—Saxon and Jew, scholar and peasant, laborer as well as black. It expresses itself even more protest tender regarded for women while denying them civil equality, they draw a line of inferiority that differs from our correspondent's only as the 'harem differs from the cotton field. In the one case the "inferior" creature is a pet for the "superior," and in the other his servant. He may be a "superior" but the condescending friend of the other, but from the elevation of his "superior" intelligence he commands them to stay in their place. The quality of this love and this friendship is such that he holds the woman as "a little dearer than his horse," the servant as "somewhat better than his dog," the religion has usually furnished the education of his horse, commonly furnished by "science." Our correspondent falls back upon both. As for the Negro's identity with the human race, who has yet been able to distinguish any peculiarity in the life blood that courses through his body? As for soul, the revolting history of Negro slavery amplify testifies that the white man has less reason for doubling the Negro or the Negro has for doubling the white man. The white man understand the Negro. It is not true that the average white man of the south (or of the north ether, for that matter) understands him. No man can understand another man unless he associates with him upon the basis of equal rights. The southern white man doubtless has a Negro serf, the Negro menial, the cringing creature that white men have made of Negroes, but it is simply as slave or serf or menial; he does not understand the Negro man. Negro nature (fn contradistinction to slave nature of whatever race or color), the domineering white man does not understand, and he never can until he shall understand that he is identical with human nature. Quincy Ewing, himself a southerner of many generations, has answered our correspondent at every angle, in the Atlantic Monthly for March, and we leave him and those who hold with him to fight it out with Mr. Ewing. It seems appropriate, however, to say that in considering the pain which our correspondent's mother must not ignore the pain it ought to give to those good people for whom and to the very section for which he especially speaks. Could there be a more terrific indictment of the intelligent and moral south? We are well aware that some empiricists have contended for the non-human status of the Negro, but not all furnishes adherents to the same doctrine, for we have seen that monstrosity of bookmaking—"The Negro a Beast," put out by a St. Louis house. Disinherited whites might hold such views of a distinct race with whom they are in a life and spirit that would not furnish adherents to the same blame than would imply pity. But the case would be far different should we attribute such views to that intelligent, able and conscientious class in the progenitors, have held the Negro in bondage, and now live upon the Negro's underpaid labor, as the plutocracy of the land of both whites and blacks. Think of the crimes against persons and civilization which our correspondent's suggestions proclaim! Can we conceive of an intelligent group of the Anglo-Saxon race as having taken a domesticated group of soulless and unmoral animals into the bosom of their families, and as putting their babies into their arms to bear them in the care of both sexes in leaving their children of both sexes in the care of these talking "similans"? More monstrous still, can we think of them as raising up a mixed race, half beast and half human? No crime against civilization could be more horrible. Yet this is the crime our correspondent charges against his own southland. Not alone is the suggestion that they are mere animals an intolerable asperation upon a race of people whom our race has grossly wronged; but the necessary corollary makes the suggestion, under the indisputable circumstances, a hideous libel upon our own race as well. In what we have said, there is no sectional spirit. Our correspondent is right in charging the white north with equal or greater cruelty to individual Negroes than the south inflicts. He is right in his contrast of north with south in their treatment of the Negro; for most white pen of the south do treat individual Negroes who "know their place" better than most white men of the north treat individual Negroes whether they "know their place" or not. The question is no sectional question; it is a man question. The real difference between the north and south is one not of sentiment but of expression. It is analogous to the difference in income and education and theft, or the adultery of the New Testament and that of the Old. The white north is pretty much at one with the white south in unbrotherly sentiment toward the Negro; but the north cloaks the sentiment in fine phrases, whereas the south expresses it without reserve. The south thereby reveals to both sections the essential illness of the race and the member of a nation, of a hope that this revelation may bear repentant fruit. Let us hope that both sections, loathing the sentiment so revealed, will with one accord cast it out of our national life. Let us hope that the time is at hand when both the white north and the white south will be democratic enough to think of their black fellowmen in the north of independence and Christian enough to deal by them in accordance with the golden rule of the Nazarene—Chicago Public.

PAULINE BUYS a PAPER PAULINE Smartest Collie in the City Does Marketing and Errands for Her Master and Understands Everything Said to Her. Andrew McSpadden, civil war veteran, 1940 East Ninety-seventh street, a member of the race, is the owner of Pauline C, a Scotch collie dog of almost unbelievable intelligence. The dog not only knows the tricks so commonly performed by circus dogs, but also the knowledge of the English language, ability to master any command and the willingness to carry it out. Every morning McSpadden wraps a penin in a piece of paper, puts it in the dog's mouth and says, "Get me a paper. Pauline. With a leap and a break, she runs across the street like a streak, out Euclid to East One Hundred and Fifth, where she picks out her favorite newsboy, attracts his attention by pawing or barking at him. The boy takes the penin from her mouth, puts a newspaper in its place and the dog whirls and is streaking down Euclid, back to her master. Never once has she seen a dog that she always picks up the same boy. If he is not around at the time she reaches the corner, she waits until he gets there. Almost six months ago McSpadden took Pauline to the corners, bought a paper from this boy, put it in her mouth and said, "Pauline, whenever you come to the corner, she always picks up the same boy." And the dog has faithfully lived up to her commands. Ottentimes McSpadden sends her on errands over on Hough avenue, more than a mile from his home. He puts a bundle or basket in her mouth and says, "Take this to Harry, Pauline," and the dog is off on her mission, leaving the master's house. The master will be delivered. Every day she meets the mail man and takes from him whatever letters are for her master. Sometimes McSpadden puts a letter in her mouth and tells her to give it to the mail man.

PAULINE BUYS a PAPER LINE lie in the City may be at the far end of the street but the dog always seeks him out and delivers the letter to him. Pauline is real polite, too. She shakes hands very gravely with each visitor upon his arrival, and shakes hands again when he leaves, accompanying it with two short barks which are supposed to signify "good-by." She plays "dead," says her prayers, jumps through hoops, opens or closes doors upon command, and a score of other tricks is written. No unfamiliar away I take Pauline from her home and then send her back for some bundle which I have forgotten, she always brings it back to me," said McSpadden. The interviewer was quite dubious about this statement because it would need almost colossal intelligence in a dog to accomplish this feat, and so asked McSpadden if he might give her a dog. "Sure," responded the owner. "Just leave your umbrella at the corner of the barn, show it to Pauline and then well take a walk to the corner of Euclid." This was done. When Euclid avenue was reached, the interviewer turned to the dog and said, "Pauline, go back and get my umbrella." The dog whirled at the words and started back along Seventy-ninth street. Hardly three minutes later she came back with the dog to put her to any test, said McSpadden, proudly. "Pauline is capable of up to everything I've said about her." McSpadden says that a dog's real intelligence is brought out by confidence in its master. He never beat her but once, and that was when she was a puppy. He never speaks crossly to her and always has a kind word and a pat on the head when she does 2½ years old and is beautifully marked. She is unregistered, but McSpadden has been offered big sums of money for her. He has always "hooted them down," as he expresses it.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio THE GAZETTE is the oldest, aml 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. Newark, N. J., has abolished its separate schools for Afro-Americans. A step in the advance. Morua Delgado will be a member of the new Cuban cabinet. American newspapers refer to him as "the Negro malcontent"—a recommendation. If by its fruits, it shall be known this "new" southern policy tree of the "Pacificator"—Taft, it may be justly said, "hew it down, for it beareth no good fruit!" What has become of that "Brown- ville" Court of Inquiry? Has it gone to sleep (with Taftism) and fallen from the face of the earth? It's year's life is rapidly passing away. Nearly six months of Taft's first year as President have passed and he has not appointed a single Afro-Ameri- can to office, and there are no good indications that he intends doing so, either. Rev. Elwood R. G. Goins of Marysville, "took a fall" out of foul-mouthed Ben Tillman in a strong communication to the Evening Tribune of that place, August 6. Good! Let more of our people, who can do so, strike back in a similar manner whenever the "foul-mouthed" one blurs out his filth in his "lectures" or "speeches" in their community or vicinity. President Taft's new southern policy is directly responsible for the loss by Afro-Americans of hundreds of federal jobs in the south since the 4th of last March, and more are going every week. To say that Taft does not know this, and that it does not meet his approval, is to tell a deliberate falsehood for the sole purpose of misleading persons who read it. Some of our so-called race newspapers are trying to do for Taft what he does not attempt to do for himself Shame! THE TENTH CAVALRY. Below we append (by request) all of the recent Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial that ought to have been published by that paper and all others that have republished it. There was no good ground for the first and last paragraphs of it (which we have eliminated) and the Plain Dealer ought to have known it and doubtless did know it. But as that paper and the dirty Cleveland News seem to delight in spreading, to the utmost of their ability, all hurtful statements (to the race), it published what we append (exceptionally good), in order that it might, with an apparent good excuse, spread broadcast the LIES some prejudiced southern - sympathizing newspaper - secondral sent out from Burlington, Vermont—to the effect that the people of that city were "up in arms" because the Tenth Cavalry was en route to Ft Ethan Allen, near that city. The fact was, the people were pleased, greatly pleased as a result of the soldiers coming, and are still, though they have been there some time—so the Mayor of Burlington, Vt., said and says. The good part of the "P. D." editorial is as follows: "The men of the Tenth cavalry are the men who won the bloody battle of San Juan hill. To many Americans the campaign of Santiago de Cuba may appear a joke. But it was no joke to men who took part in it. In efficiently commanded, vile provisioned, enduring the fearful heat of a tropical rain, bravely borne in rain, sick with fever, tired, almost starving, the American soldiers engaged in battle after battle with an enemy of undoubted bravery and ability. Not without complaint. The ridiculous incapacity of most of the leaders and the vicious negligence of the war department were not overlooked by the volunteers who were enjoying their first taste of service. The tainted men and men of the Tenth cavalry complained there is no record of it. "San Juan hill is a low ridge overlooking the San Juan valley and on it the Spaniards were entrenched to block the approach of the Americans to Santiago. At El Caney, on the coast of the Pacific, the day with a force of Spaniards which he outnumbered five to one and won only when most of the enemy had been killed or wounded. The main battle was at San Juan ridge, where the slopes were covered with wire enclosing the hill, owned by blockhouse and earthworks. "The Rough Riders' were in this charge, undoubtedly. But the men—not 'Rough Riders'—who took part in the fight, tell stories of how the lovely combination of broncho busters and kid-gloved warriors from Fifth avenue and Newport wavered and faltered, and would have broken had it not been for the example and support of the black troopers of the Tenth. These were the men who stormed the breastworks, who never finched under the hottest fire, who bore up the 'Rough Riders' and gained for them the credit of winning the only important pitched troop brought by American troops since '65. "But the Tenth cavalry had no one to blow and brag about them. They THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1909. had no official press agent in a high place. Their commander wrote no books about how he conquered Spain. They have not held picturesque reunions; they have not been favored applicants for federal jobs; they have not even become drawing room heroes. They have not been the drivers who did the work they were paid for doing; and, quite as an incident, won the battle of San Juan hill. "Since the war the Tenth has been here and there, and has just returned from long and efficient service in the Philippines. At Fort Ethan Allen the men will not have much to do, and will enjoy a period of well earned rest." TAFT IS TARGET AT STATE CONVENTION. Says a leading daily paper of recent date: "Congressman Palmer, chairman of Pennsylvania's state convention, made a ferocious attack on the Taft administration. He characterized the culmination of the tariff fight in congress as 'one of the most clever tricks of legislative juggery ever recorded in the annals of parliamentary government.'" Said he, "If the president had been but half as anxious to save the pennies of the workingman by giving them cheaper cotton goods as he was to save the dollars of the steel trust by dumping into its mills its raw materials at much reduced expense, his name would have been enshrined in the hearts of the poor, as his praises are now sung in the counting houses of protected wealth." After declaring for freedom of the press, of conscience, and of speech, and "the equality before the law of all citizens," the Pennsylvania Democratic platform goes on to express itself on the just rights of capital and labor respectively, etc., coming out "strong for union labor." If the Democratic party of Pennsylvania is in earnest in this matter, there is at least one good reason why Afro-Americans of that state should vote its ticket in that state this fall at least. However, before making their choice, they should have a painstaking, plain and unequivocal explanation of the important phrase, "Equality before the law of all citizens," since, while they are in every sense full citizens, equals legally to the whites, this matter is sometimes lost sight of in the administration of the law, in Pennsylvania and elsewhere! Whenever the Democratic party rises above race and class prejudice, its victory is assured, because merited; but not until it gets out of the "before the war" rut. No reactionary party deserves victory! The position of the Afro-American as regards his attitude toward either of the so-called "great" parties is a peculiar one, a delicate one. To be more particular, neither of them have dealt honestly by him. The Republican party no more so, in spite of its effusive flattery in the "Ohio" platform—vague as the friendship of its sponsor, William Howard Taft—and its more verbose and apparently more decided expression in the party platform adopted in Chicago at the time of the nomination by "steamroller" methods of the Theodore Roosevelt choice for—the people! Thousands of Republicans voiced their protests on the day of the "nomination," against this shameful arrogance of the "Lord Protector" Roosevelt. It was in vain; the convention cowardly subsided; the people quite as cowardly endorsed the arrogance, and each—such is divine justice!—got its deserves. The Democratic party headed by a chronic candidate, who could have learned a lesson from the history of Henry Clay, and did not, licked the spur of the southern cavaliers and got "booted" that is, kicked and left in the micro that is, kicked and left in the mire. And to-day? New parties are not made to order like new boots; they grow out of new conditions, equally so as new religions do (Prof. Eliot will profit by taking notice of this fact!). This much is sure, neither the Afro-American nor millions of other Americans are and can be satisfied with this shiftless "opportunism." It behooves this dissatisfied element to look around for some leader, who will know how to form and combine their new diffused numbers into a compact body—a disciplined army, as it were. No, man, however, need undertake this task, unless he has been "haptised by the fire of the War of the Rebellion"—no antidelevian fossil will succeed. No man who thinks that the wheels of moral progress can be turned backward, that the moral, logical and legal results of the war for freedom, thus "perfecting the Constitution," as Senator Foraker pregnant put it—no man harboring such a view ventilating it openly, or suggesting it tentatively, need apply to the nucleus of the party of the future, "whose shibboelothe is freedom and humanity"—true "equality of all citizens before the law"—and as little interference otherwise with the movements of society, as practicable, leaving the solution of some "problems" to the old forces that have always solved them in the end—God and nature. The "race problem," like any other patient, will thrive best, if left more to the process of nature, than the meddling of doctors, more especially those modern nuisances or "interferers" the "experts." Editor Mitchell Says Who Was Right Richmond, Va., July 28, 799 Editor Gazette—My Dear Sir:—Your hard record. It seems to me that the Afro- Americans of Ohio should now realize that you were right in your attitude towards the candidacy of Hon. Villiam H. Taft. The time has passed when a self-sacrificing race leader should not be appreciated or his efforts recognized. We are now at the anger point of our political existence, readily concede that you were far head of me in foreseeing the dangers that now confront us. We must call a sat at once and demand positive recog- nition on the part of the Republican aders and in this, we must assume an attitude we will com- mand respect and attract attention from even those who now misrepresent and malign us.

THE SLOGAN OF THE LOYA AFRO-AMERICANS OF NEW ORLEANS AND LOUIS- The Famous Iroquois Club Room The Scene of a Magnificent Demonstration—The Speakers—The Program—A Complete List of the Subscribers, Etc. New Orleans, La. "Honor to whom honor is due" was truly exemplified in the parlors of the Iroquois club here on the night of July 15, when in the presence of the members on that famous social and literary organization, and a multitude of Afro-Americans gathered from all over the state of Louisiana, a large and artistically executed oil painting of Senator J. B. Foraker, set in a massive double frame, measuring $60.25 \times 100$ inches, was unveiled and placed on exhibition. Those whose privilege it is to claim the distinction of charter members of the club that is nearing its tenth milestone of existence, are unanimous in the verdict that this occasion—veritably a "Foraker night"—was the grandest of all yet held under the roof of this hospitable club that has the honor and proud distinction of a visit from a President of the United States. Words cannot fittingly describe the scenes of that night—the enthusiasm and shouts of delight which, like pent-up Utica, burst forth from the lusty throats of grateful colored men when the veil hiding the portrait was lifted disclosing a handsome life-like oil painting of the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, a man who lives enshrined in the hearts of 10,000,000 of his colored fellow-citizens for the good not only done for them, but for the cause of equal and exact A. B. Joseph Benson Foraker justice to all without regard to creed or color. "A friend in need, is a friend indeed," is a saying which happily, every Afro-American can apply to the unselfish, unparalleled labors of Senator Foraker in the last session of Congress at a time when the race seemed deserted by erstwhile friends and sorely needed an佐治亚Afro-American. It was the magnificent canes of Louisiana showing their great admiration for such a friend that the movement was inaugurated to have a life-like portrait painted. Messrs. Ed. Barnes and Charles A. Robinson, two of the leading active members of the African-American motors of all the notable public affairs so far given by the club, set the movement afoot that soon grew to large proportions and culminated successfully in securing the services of Mrs. George Marie De Jaham, a celebrated African-American portrait that met the favorable criticism of art connoisseurs. With Ed. Barnes as chairman of the executive committee and C. A. Robinson as treasurer, it was not long before the colored men of Louisiana were made aware of what was in contemplation, and it is gratifying to know that ready and willing response was in approval of the effort accompanied by their subscriptions. Everything being in readiness for the night of July 15, the date set for the ceremonies, a large crowd assembled in response to invitations that had been sent out and in keeping with the following specially prepared program of exercises, the portrait was unveiled.

It was the good pleasure of the assemblage to have had the presence on that night of Roscoe Conkling Sim- mons, editor of the N. Y. National Review. His masterly effort (address) resulted in his election as an honorary member of the club, the first person to enjoy this distinction. Letters were received from prominent men endorsing the effort and from among the many the following are selected for publication as reflecting the sentiment of all: Chicago, Ill., July 13, 1909. Foraker Portrait Committee, 1400 Canal street, New Orleans, La. Gentleman: I have your valued favor dated July 5, 1969, in which you extend me an invitation to view the portrait of the Honorable Joseph Bennett, the founder of the Iroquois club parlors on Thursday, July 15, 1969, for which, please accept my thanks. For many reasons I regret exceedingly my inability to be present on the occasion noted. Underlying the very motive of this meeting, despite that its primary object is to show the evidence of approval this great man has for us, he has done in behalf of the Negro, is a stream of pathos. This is especially true in view of the fact that you are about to honor the last actual congressional representative of 10,000,000 of people in a country, the very frontpiece of whose constitution reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident. That man is the greatest of all. This feature is again revealed in considering the fact this statesman, learned, sagacious, and far-thinking, yet, with a single eye to justice, chose to defend a principle at the expense of his political, and possibly social, welfare, and he should be made to feel that the highest reward within the gift of the poor, but struggling, people is his—the heartfelt gratitude and prayers of 10,000,000 souls. Although it is impossible for me to be with you I sincerely hope this meeting will have the success that it deserves. Cleveland, O., July 12, 1968. Mr. Ed. Barnes, Chairman Foraker adrews street, New Orleans, La. Dear Sir, Your letter of the 10th received and as you had very correctly anticipated. I am very proud indeed of your committee and all of our people in your city and state who have contributed toward the successful effec- tiveness of the Senate and great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Considerable along the same line has been done by many of our people in various parts of the country with the result that if that kind of thing were necessary to asso- ciate with the Senate, he is certainly most thoroughly convinced. Your kindness in remembering me in the manner you have is greatly appreciated. Please extend my sincere congratulations to the members of your committee and if possible, to all those who contributed to the Senate, to all those who include, of course, the members of the Fouquin club, in the parlor of which the oil portrait of the Senator is on exhibition. I wish it were possible for me to see it this week and I certainly will take advantage of the first opportunity to do so when next Cincinnati, the home of the Senator. J. Madison Vance, the leading attorney at law of the state, was the principal speaker and delivered with eloquence, style and elegance of language the oration, "Foraker, Soldier, Friend. The Friend. The speaker brought the message to the audience demonstration lasting several minutes, waving flags and shouting hurries when he referred to the last acts of Sutoror Foraker, which made him a friend closer than a brother, and with earnest fervor in his preoration to speak out and tell them that he is his friend forever. Dr. J. H. Lowery, a successful physician of Donaldsonville, La., made a forceful talk, encouraging the race to do things themselves and thus be a constructive factor in the march of the Democratic campaign on an easel in the front parlor of the building was velled with a large United States flag that was lifted by little Miss Pearl Vincent, the daughter of Dr. Ed. Vincent, one of the "Crecent" city's leading dentists and a member of the executive committee. Preceded by a speech by the Barnes, who had been the front and very stay of the movement, acquainted those present with the circumstances leading up to its inception and spoke commendably of the support he had received. The conclusion of the exercises the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Resolved. That as a feeble token of the appreciation and gratitude of the Iroquois club, assisted by the Afro-Americans of Louisiana; for the unprecedented friendship of Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, manifested in a time of dire need this oil painted portrait of the African-American J. B. Foraker, a great and good woman, a worthy life-partner for such a worthy man. Resolved. That a vote of thanks be tendered Chairman Ed. Barnes, the treasurer, Chas. A. Robinson, and the members of the executive committee for the unsparing pains they took in bringing to a successful end this memorial commission. The committee has prepared a silken bannerette, a testimonial, measuring 2 feet by 1½ feet, which contains the names of all the subscribers and the following inscription which was drafted by Wm. W. Johnson, chairman of the testimonial committee, one of Louisiana's most prominent colored men, who has always taken an active interest in matters to the benefit of us, uplift. Bannerette Inscription. "Fiat Justitia, Ratio Coelum." New Orleans, La.; July 15, 1998. The Iroquois club, together with the Afro-Americans of Louisiana, present the Afro-Americans of Louisiana, the beg of you to accept it as an humble acknowledgement of the debt of gratitude they owe you." "No gold, nor gifts can this debt repay. But our grateful hearts shall wipe it away." The portrait and bannerette were forwarded to Cincinnati, O, last week Monday, the 26th ult. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

FARMERS DO DISTILLERS' WORK Make Alcohol From Waste Crops by New Invention. The perfection of a process for the distillation of denatured alcohol by Carl V. Hartzelt, a Clevelander, in the past week, may result in dealing the so-called "whisky trust" a severe blow. Yesterday Hartzelt shipped the first of a large number of orders he has received for small stills with which even a farmer can make use of the decayed portions of his crops. Alcohol can be made at a maximum expense of 7 to a gallon. During the past month, United States Revenue Officers Harper and Stewart have watched the workings of a real still, of the "moonshine" variety, famed in Kentucky, with which Hartzvelt has been experimenting day and night at 1287 Ontario street. Specimens of the fluid obtained by Hartzvelt were sealed and a barrel of the product put under lock and key, cared for and submitted the alcohol to the government test. The government has appropriated $10,000 for research in this work. The still used by Hartzvelt is the only one of its kind that has ever been used on this side of the Ohio river and has attracted distillers from all over the country. Paul A. De Leon, 1209 East Bay street, Charlestown, S. C., a well-known southerner, after watching the process and still for several days left for home yesterday with the first completed still. Heat, power and light generated by denatured alcohol, according to Hartzvelt, bring the best results. "It would pay many," says Hartzvelt, "to make alcohol for home consumption. Potatoes, sawdust, grain and corn in decayed form could be utilized for the purpose. For illuminating and machine power it is unexcelled. As a generator of motive power for autos it equals gasoline and adding 10 per cent denatured alcohol to gasoline would create 50 per cent stronger motive power."-Cleveland Larry J. Heyward Experimental tests just completed with a hundred gallon still which has recently been in operation in this city, have demonstrated conclusively that denatured alcohol may be economically manufactured at a cost sufficiently low to compete with gasoline. The process by means of which this has been accomplished is that of local inventors, which in the past used ten pounds of mixed saw dust and ten pounds of corn cooked for 25 minutes by means of super-heated steam, having a temperature of 325 degrees F., and a pressure of 20 pounds per square inch.

The second distillation yielded alcohol at 182 proof. The actual cost of production, including material, labor, fuel and water was $71.2 cents per gallon of 182 proof alcohol. Chemical tests of the by product, showed the following results: 100 pounds of dry saw dust, ten pounds of round corn meal and 3 cents worth of compressed yeast, yielded 12 pounds of industrial alcohol of 182 proof together with three pounds of rosig oil, one pound of pine oil and two pounds of turpentine. The mashing, fermenting, and distilling tests were made and the supervision of the government, internal revenue inspectors, and the result of the tests showed that the inventor's process produced 52 per cent better results than the government's traveling stills. It will be recalled that congress appropriated $10,000 to defray the expense of buying, training, and circulating a process of converting to farmers the practicability of manufacturing denatured alcohol by means of same. The failure of the government agents to show that the manufacture of denatured alcohol from farm produce and refuse caused the discharge of 17 revenue inspectors and experimenters, who reported that the actual cost of producing industrial alcohol under present conditions was 17 cents per gallon. This is caused partly by the fact that potatoes and corn are high priced this year, and while the farmer is dismised by the government's response, he is encouraged, throughout the northwest and south, to further demonstrate the practicability of obtaining denatured alcohol from this source.

The foreman's placing of the line under the cut of Hon. W. H Lewis on page 3 of our last issue was a mistake, pure and simple, which we regret more than any one else because there are persons in this community small enough to attribute the error or mistake to the person. Such certainly was not the intention of the Gazette. The contemptible Cleveland News published the "Pailline" cut and article on our first page to-day but took pains to leave out of it any reference that would indicate Mr. McSpadden's class connection. We have supplied what will be found in the article we are republishing. The News would not have done as it did if Mr. McSpadden had done his discretion discredited. The editor thus. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an excellent little booklet on "Frederick Douglass," written and published by Miss Laura E. Wilkes, a teacher in our primary schools at Washington, D. C. It is used there each "Douglass Day," February 14, and is endorsed by such well-known educators as Profs. Cook, Miller, Moore and Montgomery; also bookslet cost only 30 cents apiece and are certainly worth the price. Address Miss Wilkes, 2516 Brightwood avenue, Washington, D. C. The Attucks club held its annual meeting Monday evening and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Alex Martin; first vice president, Ed Smith; second, Welcome Blue; secretary, Sam Woods; assistant, Henry Taylor; treasurer, J. Morgan; executive committee, William Nelson, Tom Fleming, John Wilson, George Jones and James Rogers. If the Negro voters of Chicago, of Ohio, of any other locality where the vote of their race is large enough to turn an election, were to utilize it as a balance of power, casting it for one party or the other as its conduct pleased or displeased them respecting their race—even as our German, Irish, Italian and Scandinavian voters largely do, they would soon find themselves in a more salubrious position in the office. Instead of being neglected by Democrats, their vote is inevitably hostile, and by Republicans because it is unfinishingly loyal, the Negro race would be courteled by the politicians of both parties as assiduously as other races are courted now—Chicago Public. Relative to the recent emancipation celebration, George A. Myers writes The Gazette: "We (the Cleveland Association of Colored Men) will have about $100 over and above all expense, and in addition thereto, I have paid to the treasurer of the Home for Aed Colored People on August 4, $256.71 and on August 7, $5.01, a grand total of $267.12, as a result of the popular ladies' contest. Our lecture course last winter in the various churches was a decided success. I have always opposed the lifting of the restrictions that was held to raise funds, that we might have these lectures and entertainments and not spoil them by taking up a collection." An excellent idea. The Olympia Ladies' Quartette returned Monday from a very successful tour of about ten days. During that time they filled Chauantaqu engagement at Chardon, Springfield, Millerburg, O. and Moundsville, W. Va. In Springfield, on the afternoon of July 31 they appeared on the program for the Moundsville day. August 8, they gave a program for the prisoners in the state penitentiary at Moundsville. Some of the Virginians have expressed a desire to the bureau manager, A. C. Coit (white), to have the quartette make a tour of that state. This is the first appearance the young ladies have made in a southern state. Miss Daisy Desmond Wood, Hester O. Brennan, Measures Crealea Peyton and Anna Smith constituted the quartette on this trip. Miss Daisy is deservedly the star and leader of the splendid organization. THE BUCKEYE RECORD A GRIST OF NEWS FROM VARIOUS CITIES IN OHIO. Short Chronicles of a Day's Happenings as Told by Telegraph for Our Readers. STATE CAPITAL CULLINGS. Attorney General Denman has rendered an opinion to State Food Commissioner Dunlap that Ohio distillers or jobbers filling mail orders for whisky from other states cannot be required, therefore, to pay the Dow tax, because this business is interstate commerce. That State Shop Inspector Kerns has the right to order fire escapes placed on all public buildings of two stories is the legal opinion rendered by Attorney General Denman. It is mandatory that fire escapes be put on buildings of more than two stories and discretionary with the inspector to order them on two-story schools, halls, churches, business blocks and other buildings of public use. The state medical board through its secretary, Dr. George Matson, has just made an important arrest at Circleville. It was found that two men giving the names of "A. Bauer" and "Dr. Robert Allen," claiming to be of Columbus, where they said they had a hospital, were obtaining money by selling what they represented to be eye medicine. It was found that they had secured $30 from Charles Trump, for a bottle of eye lotion that was useless, and a farmer named Tremple had paid them $45; another $27 and a lady in the neighborhood a considerable sum. As an extra inducement to Mr. Trump they agreed to paint his barn in addition and to paint his picture on it. Bauer got wind of the coming of these officers and fled. But "Dr. Allen" was arrested. Then the mayor fined him $25 and costs and gave him $30 days in jail, the days to be suspended on condition that he leave the state at once. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1909.

The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Mt. Vernon, Zanville, Newark, Lancaster, Akron, Lima, Lorain, Chillicothe, Toledo, Urbana, Oberlin, Springfield, Plqua, Columbus, Camelot, Bellefontaine, Wilmington, Portsmouth, Sabina, Gallipolis, O, and other places where we have none. Write to the editor of The Gazette Blackstone building, Cleveland, O, and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers will oblige us by sending the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named B. C. Cobb, who has recently opened a grocery store in the block on the southeast corner of Central avenue and East Twenty-eighth street, was formerly a resident of Atlanta, Ga., where he owned property and conducted very successfully, a similar business, about all of which he lost as a result of the notorious Atlanta riots months ago with his family, he has been struggling to make a living for them. When he entered his present quarters, he asked the landlord and the agent of the building, Ben Scruelvits, to sign a request for a natural gas meter, and both refused to do so. Saturday (July 17) the best day in the month, he asked the poor man without a meter, and consequently with no hope of gas light in the evening when most needed. In his dire distress and trouble he approached a member of the race who called Scruelvits, a saloonkeeper next door, into Mr. Cobb's grocery store and had refused to do it the poor man the small favor asked. Scruelvits all of his (Scruelvits') place, all of his (Scruelvits') place, so that every one of them has the slightest brotherly feeling and sympathy for Mr. Cobb, and the least sympathy for Mr. Scruelvits' place, continue patronizing Scruelvits' place. There is no earthy reason why they should do so anyhow, because there are several members of the race in the same vicinity, conducting places of business similar to his and where better goods can be secured than in Scruelvits' place, at the same or less rates. Stay out of his place and that of Joe Goodman at the corner of Central Avenue. That time until such a time as they shall have been taught what clearly appears to be a much-needed lesson. Pass the word along to all members of the race in that vicinity as well as throughout the city. OUR TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR! Did you notice that our issue of July 31, '09 was the first in our twenty-seventh year? Well, it was, and we were too busy to even make proper note of the fact. For more than twenty-six years the "old reliable" Gazette has been published on time each and every week. This in itself is a wonderful record, taking all things into consideration. When you remember the many things done, and the vast amount of good for the race it has accomplished, the wonderful record grows greatly indeed. If it had done no more than secure the passage by the Ohio assembly of this state's Civil Rights' law and its Anti-Lynching law, that would be much more than enough to justify its continued publication and such support from our people of Ohio and the entire 'country as we have never enjoyed, but ought to, the Lord knows. Join hands with us and help make this the most successful year in all the twenty-seven of its life. You can do much if you will. Call your friends' and acquaintances' attention to The Gazette, "the old reliable" race advocate and newspaper, tell them what it has done and urge them to subscribe for it. Every home should receive at least one copy every week. Gored to Death by Bull. Cleveland, O.-Bert Township, 57. Bedford, was gored to death by a two-year-old bull at the farm of his brother-in-law, John Milander, near Bedford. Township was crossing the field on his way to dinner when the bull attacked him.

Lace, to-day almost the unique possession of women, owes its development and enrichment, if not its actual existence, to men, now so disdainful of its beauties. When lace was being slowly evolved from drawn-work the popes and great prelates of the church used it on their altar vestments and robes, fostered and encouraged its production and paid large sums for it. Later lace became an absolute essential of masculine attire in ruffs, in collars, in shashes, in garters and even as a decoration at the shoe-top. Rubens wore more lace than his wife and one has only to study the portraits of Velasquez, Franz Hals or Van Dyck to realize how naturally and with what ease men then wore lace. Under the Stuarts the collection of laces became a passion of the court and noblemen were as frequently known for their possession of rare lace as for collections of valuable paintings or gems, and it is rumored that, later, ruffles fell longer over the hands to make cheating at cards more easily possible—Youth's Companion.

"When my little Vivian was about six months old her head broke out in boils. She had about sixty in all and I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her entirely. Some time later a humor broke out behind her cars and spread up on her head until it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every spring. I always used Cuticura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was discouraged. But I continued the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent until she was well and has never been troubled in the last two years. Mrs. M. A.

With the present rapid growth of the anti-tuberculosis movement the number of so-called "cucles" for consumption is being increased almost daily. Hundreds of quack "doctors," "professors" and "institutes" are advertising that they can cure consumption for small amounts, with the result that thousands of dupes are yearly cheated out of their lives as well as their money. Besides these, "cures" and medicines of all sorts, numbering now several hundred, are sold for the deception of the public. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis brands all these institutes, doctors, professors and cures as frauds and deceptions. The only cure for consumption is fresh air, rest and wholesome food. Died in Good Company. A clergyman, who was not averse to an occasional glass, hired an Irishman to clean out his cellar. The Irishman began his work. He brought forth a lot of empty whisky bottles, and as he lifted each one looked through it at the sun. The preacher, who was walking on the lawn, saw him and said: "They are all dead ones, Pat." "They are?" said Pat. "Well, there is one good thing about it—they all had the minister with them when they were dying."—Tid Bits. True to Life. Teacher — Johnnie, do you know what a blotter is? Johnnie — Yessum.

People can eat improper food for a time until there is a sudden collapse of the digestive organs, then all kinds of trouble follows. The proper way out of the difficulty is to shift to the pure, scientific food, Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the foundation up. A New Hampshire woman says: "Last summer I was suddenly taken with indigestion and severe stomach trouble and could not eat food with out great pain, my stomach was so sore I could hardly move about. This kept up until I was so miserable life was not worth living. "Then a friend finally, after much argument, induced me to quit my former diet and try Grape-Nuts. "Although I had but little faith I commenced to use it, and great was my surprise to find that I could eat it without the usual pain and distress in my stomach. "So I kept on using Grape-Nuts and soon a marked improvement was shown, for my stomach was performing its regular work in a normal way without pain or distress. "Very soon the yellow coating disappeared from my tongue, the dull, heavy feeling in my head disappeared, and my mind felt light and clear; the languid tired feeling left, and altogether I felt as if I had been rebuilt. Strength and weight came back rapidly and I went back to my work with renewed ambition. "To-day I am a new woman in mind as well as body, and I owe it all to this natural food, Grape-Nuts."
