Walking Costumes C TUNIC KEEPS ITS POPULARITY ORNAMENTS FOR COIFFURE AMERICA TWENTY-SEVEN Walking C TUNIC KEEPS ITS POPULARITY Is Being Worn with Many of the Street Dresses—Some Possible Combinations. The tunic has diminished not one whit in popularity in spite of the fact that the moyen age and the panier are pressing it closely. Even some of the street dresses of cloth are being worn with tunics of net or mousselline, and one of the most striking gowns of the year was a white frock of lingerie type with a black tunic of wide-mesh net. This took at once; and it may be taken for granted that mousselline will play a large part in the gowns to come, for it veils the supple, glossy materials and tones them down so that they may be more universally used. It is even alms that the evening coats of the later season will be lined with satin draped with mousselline, and such an idea brings with it many possibilities. One might have a pale-green coat, for instance, Hued with shrimp pink covered with green mousselline. The effect would be opalescent and very beautiful, besides being novel. Orchid colorings, too, may be procured, and yellow may be used in so many perfect combinations. Red may be used more than usual, for when it is veiled with some darker and less conspicuous color the effect is of extreme richness with no touch of gaudiness. These combinations will require the eye of an artist, but when well done they will be surpassingly lovely. Dainty Collarettes. The latest of the one-piece dresses are finished with lingerie collars, though not of the Dutch or Priscilla variety. The new ones are merely bits of fine embroidery, worn around the line of the gulpe, particularly if it is pointed in front and round at the back. Many of these appear upon linen and foulard frocks, and when the collar is deep it looks very much like a bertha or a fichu. Of course, these zixy things are quite unnecessary, but when they are inimaculate clean and fresh they give a dark frock a daintiness that it cannot of itself possess. Latest In Petticoats. Petticouss of to-day are entirely of lingeric, which has taken the place of the silk in all its forms. The new petticoats are not worn on the streets under dark coat suits, as they soil too easily, but they are worn under everything else, especially the evening dress. They are made of thin cotton and muslin, handsome trimmed with lace when they are for house wear. The best model for the street'or for everyday wear under very light frocks has a deep ruffle, finished with a scalloped edge, heavily buttonholed. Frills Return. So long have we worshiped lines and folds that it is a belief to turn to the fuzzy, frilly effects that Paris is taking up now. All the new frocks are breaking out into a riot of frills, some plaited, some gathered in the old-fashioned way. Skirts show several narrow ruffles in graduated widths. Tiny ruffles are placed on bodices down the edges of panels and outlining the front closing. This epidemic of frills is the advance warning of the Louis mode, which is surely on the way. Little Thoughts. Grace is easier to acquire than awkwardness. Practice sitting, standing, and walking in front of your mirror. Watch other women, and adopt a good poise of the head, good carriage, and modulation of voice. These things do not come naturally. One must learn to be graceful and charming. A Violet Craze. There is a craze for all tones of violet from deep purple to palest shades of pink mauve and lavender blue. THE GAZETTE Should Be Selected with the idea of Giving Air of Individuality to the Wearer, While the summer style of hair-dressing is less elaborate than the coifures affected in the winter, there are, nevertheless, many charming ways of arranging the hair and attractive ornaments to be worn in the braids and colls. A gold and jeweled Scandinavian dagger and a high Spanish comb are effective, and lend an air of individuality to the wearer. Algrettes caught with a full tulle rosette are pretty and quite coquettish, and a band of black velvet ribbon with gold or jeweled slides and buckles forms a becoming headdress. The empire comb is also becoming, whether worn across the head in front or confining the curls at the back. These are of shell, and are beautifully ornamented with filigree work in gold and set with semi-precious and precious stones. The Greek fillet is becoming to a young girl in the majority of cases, whether in metal or shell, and ribbons of all kinds are worn twisted and threaded in the hair. Soft tulle ribbons in colors, to harmonize with the frock, metallic ribbon strands of pearl or coral beads with tassel ends and quaint cabochon ornaments, are all picturesque and effective. A pinafore bodice to match a skirt of linen or, in fact, any material, always looks well, and it is cut with kl-to vary the costume. Our model is made to a skirt of butcher-blue linen; it is cut with klimo sleeves, the edges of which, like the neck, are trimmed with embroidery insertion; the under-slip is of embroidery. Materials required for the pinafore bodice: 7% yard of 40-inch wide, 2 yards insertion. Dipping Lace. One who always dips her own laces says that she does not use tea or coffee as so many do. She prefers a powder. She gets the powdered ochre and mixes it with rice flour until it is the desired shade. The lace is put into a bowl with the powder, and rubbed in until it is perfectly even as to tone. Then the powder is shaken off. The dye is most effectual. Of course, one must wear gloves when treating the lace this way. Sleeves. Long sleeves are worn on all tailored waists, but many of the soft, fluffy, afternoon frocks have short sleeves. Lapis Lazuli in Vogue. Lapis lazuli is having a decided vogue in the province of set jewelry. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. SLAVE'S DAUGHTER WORTH MILLIONS! SLAVE'S DAUGHTER WORTH MILLIONS! SHE OWNS OIL WELLS THAT NET HER SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS A DAY. ISABEL LEWIS THE FORTUNATE ONE Josephine Morrison Is Another—The "Glenn Pool" Oil District the Greatest Find of High-Grade Oil Ever Discovered—Mrs. Glenn and Her Two Daughters. The boundary lines which separate the lands of the Creek, Cherokee and Osage Indians converge to a point in the north central part of the new state of Oklahoma. A few miles south of this point, in the Creek Nation, Iives a little Afro-American girl named Isabel Lewis, the daughter of a man who was formerly a Creek slave. This little girl owns 80 acres of land, part of her allotment, in the now "Glenn Pool" oil district, which is giving her an income such as only millionaires can have. There are three oil wells on her land, each of which is producing 1,000 barrels of oil per day, and each of which is capable of having its daily capacity doubled. It is the announced intention of the company that has leased her land to put down seven more wells. If they each produce as much as those already drilled, and have never produced more than the utility of one-eighth of the entire amount produced at 52 cents per barrel, the present market price of oil, will give her a daily income of $650, or an annual income of $237,000. At 5 per cent that amount would be the interest on a capital of nearly $5,000,000. Under the lease which Isabel Lewis has granted to the operators who have leased her land, and which was approved by the secretary of the land, the entire share is turned into the pipe line of the Standard Oil Co. and the money it represents is at once placed to her credit. Josephine Morrison, another little Afro-American girl, 12 years of age, the daughter of a Creek freedman, has an allotment of 160 acres in the oil-producing district, surrounded on all sides by flowing wells. The Morrison girl has her tract leased on a royalty of one-eighth of all oil produced. The daughter of a Creek freedman least 20 wells as fast as the oil can be taken care of by the Standard Oil people. The father of the Morrison girl, as well as the father of the Lewis girl, has been appointed guardian of his daughter. Their guardianship, however, is only nominal, for the reason that every act of the guardian must be approved by Secretary Hitchcock. This scrutiny of accounts, particularly of the United States secretary of the Interior, cannot help but result in making both the Morrison and Lewis girls very wealthy when their arrials at legal age. Like the miner who has found a pocket of gold, the lessesses of the oil land in the "Glenn Pool" district evidently know when they have a good thing and want to retain it all to themselves. There is hardly a man in the job who is uninvestigated surrounding "Glenn Pool" that has knowledge of it at all. Even the local newspapers have not found it out, or, if they have, have made no mention of the extent and value of the field, which is certainly not characteristic of the news finders of a country newspaper, who consider the most riffing of the day. Newspaper men are certainly not wanted. All sorts of obstacles are placed in their way, and every effort is made to prevent them from obtaining an idea of the district. Owners will tell you that the production of the pool is overstated, and that it is not as good as it seems, be very difficult to reach the district, because the roads are almost impassable. The oil district known as the "Glenm Pool" is without doubt the greatest find of high-grade oil ever discovered in Indian Territory and one of the best in the world. The first well in the district was put down by two prospectors, who, at the time they struck oil, which was near the end of last November, were at that time seriously contemptuous of the oil town without carrying any provisions except that which had been stored during their last meal. There have been 47 wells drilled in the district. Two of these were gas producers, three are and 42 are producing from 500 to 1,500 barrels of high-grade oil per day. This, too, with the wells drilled only to the top of the principal oil sand, which the first drilling showed to be about 100 feet thick. Of 42 wells drilled over 20 have been drilled in the latter three or four weeks, and all, with the exception of one or two, in the last two or three months. The drill of one well, which had reached the subterranean lake of oil the night before the writer arrived, must have spouted up to a great height before it could be controlled, for the ground, acres in extent, surrounding the derrick, was thoroughly saturated with oil, while every hole in the ground was dripped and every leaf on the ground was dripped. The sale and control of which has created the richest man in the world. The Standard Oil Co. has a pipe line of small capacity already extended to the field, but this line is utterly unable to carry off the daily production. In consequence of which the producers are building tankage as fast as labor and lumber can be procured to build them. The Standard is now building into the field a pipe line with a capacity greater than ever before laid down to a new district. This is being done by individual producers to be belittling the volume of their production. The land in and around "Glen Pool" is owned by Creek Indians and their former slaves, who could not lease the land until it had been approved by the secretary of the interior. That such leases have since been obtained and approved by the secretary since discovery of oil is evidenced by the fact that the oil wells within the last few weeks. The most fortunate of all the owners of land in this oil district are Mrs. R. J. Glenn (white and her daughters, Gracie and Maud, each of whom has 160 acres in the very heart of the district. Oil was first discovered on Mrs. Glenn's collection contains today several wells in the area, with an amount of oil sufficient at present oil prices to give her a daily income of $286, or an annual income of over $100,000. Her income, enormous as it is, will of course be rapidly increased as wells are drilled on her land. There are many wells in the lotments of b. "two daughters are equally as rich as her own and that the annual income of the three, inside of a year, will exceed $300,000. TWO WONDERFUL SETTLEMENTS Over 7,500 Acres of Fine Lands Owned in Them by Members of the Race—Rideau and Goudau Morrow, La., May 7.—Away down in Louisiana, half hidden by the gigantic ash and cypress trees, from whose outstretched arms playfully dangle the most beautiful festons of long, gray Spanish moss, lies the little town of Palmetto, surrounded by nurseries and farmlands. At distances of about two and three miles, the town are located two Afro-American settlements, the Rideau and Goudeau settlements. Here are to be found some of the best farm lands in fertile Louisiana, and they are owned exclusively by Afro-Americans. Among the principal landowners are: Jules Goudeau, Sr., 800 acres; L. S. Reynolds, 200; Alphonse Goudeau, 150; Leahle 150; Pell Goudeau, 100; Napier 100; Julie 135; Robert Pointer, 120; P. Dureneus, P. Rosinger and Paul Edwards, 80 each; Joseph Labri, 80; N. McBride, Jr., T. J. Goudeau and L. Carmouche, 60 each; A. Daniels, D. Mills, P. Daniels, Theo. Commons, Basil Murphy, Paul Murphy, James Walker, Jr., Vincent Alouge, Alex Earley, James Glover, Jake Jones, Ellis Fontenot, Julie and Celestine Farms, M. Davide, Francois Frank, P. R. Goudeau, Armin Tanner, V. Larose, Robert Shield, Philip Lewis, Clifford O. Gullory, Hillyer Bell, Jos. Savnar, Slemier and Jack Wade, 40 acres and Thomas Duffin, 100 acres, Gullory, Leon Goudeau, Willie Harris and Willis Cemett, 150 each; John Andrews, Celes Goudeau, Louis Dilofest, 60 to 80 acres each; Theodore Goudeau, 375; R. Edwards, 150; Joseph Rideau, 140; Preal Rideau, 532; Christalov Rideau, 260; Columna and Benjamin Thornton and Anthony Thornton, 90; Rideau, 80 acres; Wat Ammon acres. Aside from these there are five others who own an average of about 30 acres. Giving a total of about 7,500 acres of land that are planted down in corn, cotton and sweet potatoes. Many of the farmers who work these lands are being fed and clothed from the general merchandise store, who carries a Marge Goudeau, who carries a thousand-dollar stock. Mr. Goudeau young man of scarcely more than twenty-one summers, but he is an energetic business man. Just here it would not be out of place to add that nearly every farmer in these settlements lives in houses built from lumber sawn in one of the three saw mills owned by Messrs. Jules Goudeau, Sr. Preval Rideau and Alphonse Goudeau. And in the cotton picking season, the cotton made by these colored farmers is one of the three first class cotton gins owned by the above named gentlemen. The educational work of this prosperous community is in the hands of two very proficient teachers, Prof. L. Lawson, principal of the St. John Graded school (Baptist), and Prof. A. J. Bell of the Immaculate Conception high school (Catholic). Palmetto has the distinction of owning one of the few colored Catholic churches in America. Here, none but Afro-Americans can purchase seats. Rev. Vivian B. Moore (the pastor of this church, has proclaimed) he has a deep interest in the welfare of his congregation both spiritually and otherwise. Bishop Hartzell Ion Africans Chicago, Ill.—In a recent address here Bishop J. C. Hartell (white) of the M. E. church, said among other things: "Here is an estimated population of 150,000,000 in 'Africa,' said Bishop Hartell in his address. Of this number of inhabitants about 000,000 yet remain in what is known as the "barbaric state," the balance is made up of Mohammedans and Christians. In the central part of Africa and along the shores we have the native black man to contend with. It is really a friend of the missionary, willing to be taught and a good Christian after he is baptized. The native is never a blackslider. Another thing, don't think for one minute that the native black man is a fool; with ordinary training he is equal to most white men and in some cases is even of a higher intellectual plane than the white man. In the majority of Centre Africa the majority of men are of fine character, honest, willing helpers to friends in need, and all they want is a chance to make good." Bradford, Pa., Items. Rev.

COLOR LINE DRAWN AT O.S.& S.O HOME BY THE NEW DEMOCRATIC SUPERINTENDENT, WITHOUT THE REPUBLICAN BOARD OF TRUSTESS' KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. A STATE INSTITUTION Letters Sent "The Gazette," Anent the Matter, by the Superintendent, the Trust, the Afro-American Matron and 21 Girl Inmates—Board Soon to Meet. Special to The Gazette. Xenia. O-Every allegation we made in our special to The Gazette concerning the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' home is substantially true. The girls are separated in the cottage, they eat at a separate table in the dining room and naturally they are humiliated and feel that they are not welcomed in other places of contact. Mr. Sawyer knows that he cannot get a correct expression of feeling from the girls. We care not who visits the home, they will find themselves humiliated and feel if the separation is not a "reflection" of the Taft "southern policy" it is the spirit of it, which is still worse. In our capacity as a reporter, we come in contact with many people, and we can truthfully say that more than 95 per cent of our people are opposed to segregation of the children. And Superintendent Sawyer cannot deny that these children are separated on account of their color. He says: "I am not a citizen. I am institution qualifications, cate at the same table, etc., etc, is a sane and inelligent "reason" for his act. That is like old Satan's excuse for wanting people to do wrong. Now, the Home is a PUBLIC institution and the inmates thereof, "become a part of all they meet" in the institution, and it is worse than an outrage to instill race prejudice into their receptive minds. O.S. & O. Home has stood forty old years without this needless change, and it could stand longer without it. Col. Sawyer can do whatever he pleases in the conduct of the Home, but he cannot escape the result. Supt. Sawyer On the Girl's Letter. Xenia, O. Sept. 6. 1909. Editor Gazette: Dear Friend—The letter sent you by the girls of Cottage No. 20 was returned to me this morning because it had no signature. This letter was prepared by the girls of that cottage without my knowledge in their own language, and sent to you by them. I sent it back to the cottage this morning. You will see it is signed "Girls of Cottage No. 20" and that the names are all on the back of the letter, twenty-one in number which includes all of the girls' that cottage with the exception of the girls' that cottage with all the names. You will find this enclosed, and I have no suggestions to make as to whether you use this letter or not. Respectfully. E. D. SAWYER, Superintendent. Xenia, O., Aug. 28, 1999. Dear Editor—We have seen the article in The "azette" about the separator, which has recently taken place between the colonel and the colonel. You have been misinformed of the condition at the Home. We saw in your article where we had to eat in a separate dining room. But we wish to say that we eat in the same dining room, play in the gymnasium and go swimming with the white girls just before dinner, and then with them. Colonel Sawyer visits our cottage, and is as much interested in our welfare as he is in any one else, and is just the same as a father to the children here. The colonel is very much loved and respected here, and as much as he has done for us, we do not intend to sit quietly and listen to him, but we have passed on him, for he respects us in every way, shape and manner. This cottage was made, not to mistreat the colored girls, but to make them feel more at home, and if it proves a failure (which it will not wish to happen) then it will not be tentatively. Any time you wish to visit us, we will be glad to have you come. We are sorry you were misinformed in the beginning and have written this article in order to do justice to the colonel whom we like very much. We remain GIRLS OF COTTAGE NO. 20.

Williams, Bailey Josephine Anderson, Lancie Johnson Georgia Dickson, Ellen Hill and Idi Gillis. The Matron's Letter Xenia, O., Aug. 31st, 1909. Editor Gazette, Hon. Sir—I feel it my duty as matron of Cottage No. 20 of the O. S. & S. O. Home to correct several very incorrect statements concerning our cottage and Suita. Sawyer have found Col. Sawyer a most honorable and just man and a great friend of the Negro. There has never been any separation of the children at meals or in the gymnasium, nor will there be so long as a man like Col. Sawyer is at the head of the institution, and I, as matron, would not stand for such. Then I had only the interest of colored girls at heart in establishing a colored girls' cottage. Certainly they need to be taught pride and respect to the race with which they must mingle, on leaving this Home. We should feel it an honor if you would pay us a visit and inspect our cottage. Believe me to be yours with loyalty to our race. ALICE D. PORTER. A Member of the Board Writes. Fremont, O., 9, 1, 1909. Editor Gazette, Dear Siri—I received your copy of "Gazette" today. The Board has no official knowledge of the subject, and will not have until evening of Sept. 15th. I was raised in the Home, and during those years we had a colored boy in our cottage as well as in others and all went along harmoniously. I wish you would call on Col. Jno. C. Roland, cashier of the Cleveland post office, at your earliest convenience, and I think he will fully explain the matter and how little we know of it. I think you will agree with me that no censure is due the Board, until such time as they have acted in the matter. FRESH NEWS CHRONICLE LETTERS FROM MANY CITIES AND TOWNS SENT BY PREJUDICE WILL DISAPPEAR Says Prof. Wm. I. Thomas of Chicago University—A Southern White Gentleman—Rather His People Marry Blacks Than Japs Chicago, Ill.-The professor, in speaking of the situation before a body of 1,500 ladies and gentlemen, Kent theatre, recently, said, in Paris. "Race prejudice will grow less as race relationships become closer and as we travel more. Already whites and Japs intermarry. There is no reason why intermarriage of races should not continue along these and similar lines. The Japs is that they are on a level with us—in many ways, at least. Their civilization and culture and ours are much alike. The questions of the future are not to be bound up in the tint of the skin, but by the degree of development of the different races in the population. We be found in fair Scandinavians and dark Italians, are duplicated in the case of whites and blacks. What we call the white race is the most mixed race of all. It has Negro blood in it. The infusion of Indian blood into Americans has resulted in one of the finest strains possible. The signs of racism are extreme degree in our attitude toward Negroes. But, disagreeable as some of their traits are to us, our manners and features are even more shocking to Negroes in Africa. They despise white people because our skins recall such things as ghosts, death, disease and violence. The time is coming when we shall not be separated as we now are by color." "JIM CROW" SCHOOL STARTS LEGAL WAR. Afro-American Residents of Lincoln Will Wipe It Out in Courts. West Chester, Pa.—Our people of the "Jim Crow" school of Lincoln university village district that was opened last week Monday morning without any pupils to fight. On the 3rd four of our leading citizens the village, Prof. Hugh E. Brown, Messiah College, University, Symbym and Harry S. Wells, co-host West Chester and engaged William S. Harris, an attorney, who at once prepared a petition to the court to mandamus the school board of Lower Oxford township to allow our pupils to attend the school, which has been opened. Our residents of the village of Lincoln university, who are in the majority there, are thoroughly aroused, and they are raising money to make a fight in the courts for their rights. The directors will show their hand in the controversy by invoking the compulsory education law. Our people who have refused to permit the school to universally are the separate school are to be arrested before a justice of the peace. County Superintendent George W. Moore is in accord with the prejudiced school board and will do all that he can to assist them in opening and maintaining the "Jim Crow" school. It has been open a month than a week, but the school board has had a single pupil. Good! It looks as if there would be a long and bitter legal fight over the matter. Very proper! "The Race Problem." Race problems are solved by natural laws. The new generations of Negroes, with their growing demand for social equality, will find the South untenable for all such. They will emigrate to Northern states. They have been emigrating for years, and the population constantly increase. In more of the Northern states, no legal bar to the mingling of the two races. The newer generations of Negroes will refuse to work on the plantation and will crowd to the cities. They will be of no use in the South, and their exit will be hastened. The resources and opportunities for work in the South will attract classes that are willing to work, and they will come largely from the Northern states. By a social endosomosis and exosomosis there will be an interchange of population, and in that way the race problem will be solved by a diffusion of the Negroes through the whole population.

All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GATEYTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland, O., September 11, 1909. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published In the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The O. S. & S. O. home discussion being carried on in The Gazette these days is rapidly reaching a head, and we expect it is going to be necessary for us to pack our grip and go to Xenia as requested by the superintendent, Col. E. D. Sawyer. County Treasurer George E. Myers and County Engineer Frank Lander have taken office, and we fail to see the name of a single Afro-American in their published list of subordinates. All right, gentlemen, we will "meet" you when you seek office again just as thousands of us will "meet" Mr. Baehr in November and Sheriff Hirstius later on. There is going to be a stop put to this old-fashioned ignoring of the 4,000 or 5,000 Afro-American voters in this county on the specious plea that we all do not agree on one candidate for a place. As if any other class of people were ever able to perform such a political miracle! What monsense! If we did not know Tom Fleming, the Afro-American "Republican" candidate for councilman-at-large, so well (as indicated in our local columns last week), we could and would vote for him. He opposed Charley Marshall, a member of the race, for a Democrat when the former was a candidate for the council, and supported a Democrat by the name of Hubbell who was, too, a councillary candidate, some years ago. Furthermore, the editor of The Gazette presided the night the Twelfth Ward Afro-American Republican club expelled Tom Fleming for "trifling" with that Democratic candidate, Hubbell. Even if he had the ability and education and several other necessary qualifications, in the face of his checkered political career in this community we could not vote for him. There is little likelihood, however, of his or Baeh's election for reasons (and others) stated. WALTER L. BROWN One of three Democratic candidates for justice of the peace nominated at the primaries last Tuesday is Mr. Brown. Not many weeks ago The Gazette published a biographical sketch of him; therefore it will not be necessary to repeat at this time. However, we cannot refrain from calling the attention of our readers, all loyal members of the race, to the very graceful compliment paid the race in Mr. Brown's triumphant nomination in the face of the fact that he is so recently out of St. Vincent's hospital, where he had a leg amputated away above the knee, that it was simply impossible for him to do the slightest campaigning in his own behalf. That he is able to leave the hospital and his home at all at this time, so soon after the operation, is A. evidence of a wonderful constitution and vitality that no one would dream he possessed, even though they knew him well for years. Mr. Brown has a family that consists of a wife, and two of the most interesting and nicest little girls in the city whom he is struggling to educate properly. Regardless of the fact that he is on the Democratic ticket, we are going to vote for him because he is a member of the race and far more competent for the position than at least one of the Republican candidates for the same position, all of whom are members of the other race. There ought not to be an Afro-American voter in the city who would entertain for a single moment a thought of doing anything else in November because it is our DUTY to do so. We owe this much to the race and ourselves, to say nothing of Mr. Brown, who is singularly deserving for reasons obvious. We shall have more to say relative to his candidacy later on in the campaign. Show your manhood, race and self-respect, love for and loyalty to the former, when the time comes. BE MEN! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1909. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. With the assistance of thousands of Democratic votes, Herman C. Baehr has been nominated, and in his candidacy for mayor stands on a platform which says 5-cent fare (after the first eight months of his tenure of office, if elected) for 40 per cent of the car-riders of this city (those who use transfers) and 4-cent fare for all others. This is the highest rate of fare any Republican candidate for the position has stood for during the pendency of the street car question in the last ten years, and will defeat him in November just so sure as an election is held and the masses of the poor white people of this community are allowed to vote. They know the question at issue entirely too well to have any such "wool as that pulled over their eyes" in this late day and time of street car fare agitation and discussion. Mark our prediction of seven years—McKisson will be the next Republican mayor of Cleveland! As far as our people are concerned we have only to repeat what we have published so many times in recent weeks to make clear the situation, as far as Mr. Baeh is concerned, to any and all *many and loyal* members of the race who may still be in doubt as to the proper course to pursue: 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 do so three different times by the editor of this paper, The Gazette. Now he is begging us for votes again—for the fourth time. Wonder "what he takes us for". In 1900, the editor of The Gazette, then a member of the Theological led the fight that made Herman C. Baehr a member of the park board. HE is indebted to the RACE, and not it, to him. Before and after he was elected the first time seven years ago. County Recorder Herman 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-tenth 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, including at least six Democrate, in his office as clerks or 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 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. JUDGE SCORES HOME JUDGE SCORES HOME CHILDREN WILL BE REMOVED FROM ORPHANAGE. Testimony Given at Hearing in Elyria, O., Shows More of the Conditions at the Institution. Elyria, O.-Judge Hinman has granted the application of B. G. Glatz to remove his grandchildren from the Light and Hope orphanage on the ground that it was not a fit place for them. Judge Hinman scored the institution from the bench, and said he regretted that the present action and the law governing it did not enable him to take further steps. He said especially that the incident where a teacher at the home strangled to death a litter of rabbits found by a little girl showed a strain of inhumanity that demonstrated the inability of the teachers properly to govern the children. Investigation into the conditions at the orphanage was resumed before Judge Himman, resulting in showing more of the conditions in the home. Mrs. Sprunger, the first to take the stand, was self-possessed and smiling. She testified that calves' lungs had been cooked and fed to the children. She also admitted that corn was boiled in the laundry boiler, where the soiled clothes of the 90 children were boiled, and acknowledged that there were vermin in the children's rooms, but explained that the children had them when they came. NEWS FROM OHIO'S CAPITAL A Few Happenings That Will Interest the Readers in the Buckeye State. Columbus, O.-The board of education in a township without a high school cannot legally furnish transportation for the children of indigent parents who have passed the Patterson examination to a high school in another township, so the attorney general rules in an opinion to the state school commissioner.

The Ohio penitentiary is to be run under golden rule methods. "I am doing away with the ball and chain. Eventually I abolish the paddle.

Judge Daniel Babst at Marion appointed General Manager George Whysall and Eli M. West, receivers of the Columbus, Marion & Bucyrus Railroad Co., which operates an electric line between Marion and Bucyrus. Recently receivers of the Columbus, Delaware & Marion railroad and allied properties. HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in Its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gregory Browne, because from the 12th ward) Hirstius was refused to permit a street to be cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so "because colored people would come through" the street from Cedar avenue and "peer into their Windows, with a window and entrance which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through) at the request of the above mentioned preu- GUS HIRSTJUS. diced Cedar avenue residents. When he was re-elected to the council, Hirstius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The following is pertinent and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Office of The Gazette. Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk—Dear Sir, Just before election, Councilman Hirschman made a statement, political mistreatment of the effect that had passed an ordinance, resolution of something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Skeed street, or in the vicinity, which he claimed, though passed by the council in July last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up ever since by Director Springborn or someone else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever it was, was ever passed by the council, and the way out cut through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly. HARRY C. SMITH. Editor The Gazette Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette, — Dear Sir; On July 9, 1908, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstus provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The improvement was not made for the real reason, for the fact that His reasons for not wanting it, I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In day of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about opposite Sked street. This improvement was never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city was not enough and had for the opening of dead end streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councillor for ward Improvements, and I will be present for the provement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hiriust listened to. Would suggest that you call up Mr. Springborn and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a rumor. Very truly yours, Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazettee- Dear Sir: Answering Letter to the of the 24th inst., with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue, it would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this opening with Mr. Hirstius meet the close of a one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against its opening, and the result was that Mr. Hirstius finally agreed to open the property to the TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule to act in accordance with the wishes of the property owners and which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that MR. HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAKE FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Yours very truly. Director Board of Public Service.

W. C. A. of New York City. Mrs. Joseph Seelig recently entertained at a croquet party the Misses Mamie Clark, May Turner, Mrs. Etta Harris, Mr. Benjamin Dilworth and the editor of The Gazette. A delightful luncheon and musicale followed. Mrs. Seelig, the Misses Sophis Bell, both of London, Canada, on their wedding tour, spent a few days with her sister, Mrs. Seelig, recently. Miss Irene Stewart of 2028 Scovill avenue died Saturday, was buried Tuesday from Mt. Zion church, the pastor officiating. She was 20 years of age and a favorite among her many friends. A father, one sister and many other relatives mourn her demise. Mrs. Seelig, the Misses Glanna, of Dunkirk, O., attained the funeral. They were relatives of Miss Stewart. Sunday Rev. E. D. Dandridge preached his farewell sermon at Antioch church to at least 800 people, his own church, Mt. Haven, not being large enough to accommodate so many people, he scripture reading by Rev. J. L. Webb, prayer by Rev. G. A. Sissle, Dr. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch, spoke eloquently of Elder Dandridge and the very high esteem in which he was held. He was a devoted member of this community, especially the Bapists of both races, and throughout his associations. Rev. Dandridge preached the most masterly ser- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1909. mon of his 15 years in this city. Many people in the large congregation were in tears before its close and all who could pressed forward at its close subsisted in shaking hands and shaking hands in congratulation, offering also many "God speeds." He found it very difficult indeed to preach a farewell sermon to a people he had served so long. The church will give Rev. and Mrs. Dandale a face lift on the 21st of this month as they leave on the 23d for Los Angeles, Cal. RACE QUESTION IN SOUTH AFRICAN FEDERATION. Mail advice shows that the passage through second reading in the British house of commons (p. 803) of the bill for the enactment of the draft constitution for a federated South Africa, which was passed by the Liberal England against the provisions of the constitution which deny elective rights to the large native population of the South African states. Among the protestants in the house were Sir Charles Dike and Mr. Ellis India (published in London) says: Regarded from any point of view, the situation is extraordinary. A scheme for South African union is drawn up by representatives of the four colonies, approved by the colonial parliaments, and legislature. It contains two provisions which indicate a desire to form a Union of In the British empire; namely, that persons of color, persons not of European descent, shall be deprived not only of the right to vote in the elections for the union parliament, but also of the right to sit as elected representatives. The essence of the matter is here. The bill does not leave it to the discretion of South Africa to decide whether Africans or Asiatics shall or shall not now or later be the franchise or permitted to sit in the union parliament. That would be an arguable position, on the theory many times asserted during the debate, that South Africa must be given absolute freedom to manage its own affairs and to find its own solution of racial and other difficulties. What the bill does is to lay down that the colored citizens of the South Africa must be apparently for all time, of the elementary rights of citizenship. The embodiment of this principle in an act of imperial legislation represents a change of the greatest possible moment in the relations between the colord racs and the British empire. VILLAGE WAS NOT FORGOTTEN South Charleston, O., Well Provided for in the Will of the Late Leon K. Houston, a Banker. Springfield, O.-The village of South Charleston is well provided for in the will of the late Leon K. Houston, who died recently and who was estimated to be the wealthiest man in Clark county at that time. The banker and wool buyer bequeathed $20,000 for the purpose of providing the village with a library and he also devises $15,000 to some charitable institution, and leaves the choice with his brother, Edward Houston, who is also one of the executors of the will. Although the contents of the will have just been made public there have been applications filed for the bequest for charity. There is some question as to whether the bequest was intended to benefit South Charleston or whether it could be given some out-of-town institution and until this point is settled no action will be taken to award the money. WON'T TALK ON HOSPITAL Governor, After Inspecting Massillon Asylum, Speaks on Its Site and Architecture, Nothing Else. Massillon, Or. Gov. Harmon thinks the Massillon State hospital is the finest institution in the state from the standpoint of location and architecture, but he declined to speak from other standpoints at the close of his inspection. The governor arrived here with his alds, Adjt. Gen. Weybrecht and Lieut. Chamberlain. With the governor was Auditor of State Fullington. Asked how the deficit of over $700,000 in the state revenues, caused by the fact that so many counties voted "dry," was to be made up. Mr. Fullington said that the legislative committee was now at work on a method. He said he took no stock in stories that the Republicans of the general assembly had agreed to increase the excise tax to make up the deficit. Must Pay $400 a Month.

Many Want the Gold Two pots of gold found in the cellar of William Taylor of Rock River, Wyo., have caused legal complications. Taylor hired Reuben Stockwell and J. W. White to enlarge his cellar two weeks ago. While digging, the men uncovered a pot containing $3,500 in gold. They divided the money and began painting the town red. While drunk they revealed their secret and Taylor, claiming his father had buried the gold, they had arrested. They were put under heavy bond and a dozen of the richest men in the county balled them out. Now they have begun suit against Taylor for recovery of the money. Taylor dug up another pot containing $9,000 in gold and will keep on digging. Fulfillment of a Prophecy Black Hawk, who had joined forces with the British and had been defeated and captured, was looking out through the barred window of his cell in Fortress Monroe. "Ugh!" he grunted; "Yankee got Black Hawk! British get even some day!" The British did. Half a century later English Sparrow, a distant relative of Black Hawk, invaded and captured the country.

In recent years scientists have proved that the value of food is measured largely by its purity; the result is the most stringent pure food laws that have ever been known. One food that has stood out prominently as a perfectly clean and pure food and which was as pure before the enactment of these laws as it could possibly be is Quaker Oats; conceded by the experts to be the ideal food for making strength of muscle and brain. The best and cheapest of all foods. The Quaker Oats Company is the only manufacturer of oatmeal that has satisfactorily solved the problem of removing the husks and black specks which are so annoying when convenience stands at ease.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregular periods, inappropriate backbearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness, or nervous prostration.

CORBIN CROSSES DIVIDE OHIO MAN WHO FOUGHT BRAVELY FOR COUNTRY ENDS HIS LIFE IN HOSPITAL SUFFERER FOR TWO YEARS Wound Up His Military Career by Field Service—Started Young as Soldier in the War of the Rebellion. New York City—Lieut. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, U. S. A. retired, died in Roosevelt hospital in this city after an operation for a renal disorder. Gen. Corbin would have been 67 years old in a few days. Mrs. Corbin and ex-Gov. Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, his personal friend, were at his bedside when death occurred. Suffered Two Years. Gen. Corbin had been suffering for two years from the malady which ultimately resulted in his death. Accompanied by Mrs. Corbin and the general's daughter, Mrs. Usher Parsons of Ardsley, N. Y., he went to Carlsbad for treatment on June 20 last. The waters there appeared to have improved his condition after two weeks' stay and he returned to Eng- [Name] ADJUTANT-GENERAL H.C.CORDIN USA land where his former trouble recurred and he went to Paris to consult with physicians. The general's trouble developed more seriously while he was in Paris and he determined to return to America. J. G. Schmidtapp of Cincinnati, a friend, met him in Paris and, with Mrs. Corbin, she sailed for New York on the steamer Rotterdam, which arrived here on September 4. The general was taken to the Hotel Martinique in this city and Dr. Frank Erdwurm was summoned. The physician advised that Gen. Corbin be removed to the Rooseveen hospital, and he was taken there the next day. The operation was performed September 6. Following the operation Gen. Corbin revived and the work of the surgeon was regarded as a success, but about midnight a weakness of the heart developed and death ensured a few hours later. Gen. Corbin's body was taken to his home at Highwood, Chevy Chase, near Washington. His burial will be in Arlington cemetery. Gen. Corbin was in command of the Philippine division when he was appointed major general, having voluntarily relinquished the important post of adjutant general of the United States army from a desire to wind up his military career by field service. He returned to the United States from Manila early in 1904, and assumed command of the department of Missouri. It was while holding this command that he was promoted to be lieutenant general of the United States army. ISLAND GOVERNOR OUITS JOB Porto Rican Executive Sends Resignation Owing to Ill Health of His Wife. Washington, D. C.—The resignation of Gov. Post of Porto Rico reached the bureau of insular affairs September 8 and will at once be forwarded to the president at Beverly. Gov. Post's resignation was not a surprise to war department officials, as it was known that on the occasion of his visit here in June last he told the president he would like to be relieved as soon as possible. He explained that owing to his wife's ill health she had not been able to live in Porto Rico for the last two years, and in consequence he must relinquish his post. It is understood the president has already decided upon Mr. Post's successor, but his name has not yet been announced. Fool: Accident Interfered Paris, France—Melvin Vanlman, chief engineer of Walter Wellman's Polar expedition, who has arrived here, says that "only a fool accident prevented the dirigible America from reaching the pole." The balloon, which is practically uninjured, is being brought back to Paris. Business Buildings Burned. Winnipeg, Man—Fire at Saskatoon, Sask., burned a number of the principal business buildings. Loss $100,000. Wife Wounded; Husband Killed. San Antonio, Tex.—During a quarrel at the dinner table Edward Black shot his wife twice, fatally wounding her. Black was shot and killed by Arthur Glifford, his wife's brother. New Bishop Installed Peoria Ill—The Right Rev. Edward Michael Dunne was installed bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of Peoria at St. Mary's cathedral by Archbishop John Lancaster Spalding, his predecessor. VALUE PAINTED ON. Well painted is value added whether the house be built for one thousand dollars or ten thousand. Well painted means higher selling value, and higher occupying value—for there's an additional pleasure in living in the house that is well dressed. National Lead Company assist in making the right use of the right paint by sending free upon request to all who ask for it, their "Houseowners' Painting Outfit No. 49." This outfit includes a book of color schemes for either exterior or interior painting, a book of specifications and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint materials. Address National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York City, and the outfit will be promptly sent to you. Consumptives Need Not Leave Home. Consumption can be cured, or arrested, in any section of the United States, and the percentage of cures in the east and the west is nearly the same. Any physician, therefore, who sends a person to the southwest without sufficient funds, or in an advanced or dying stage of the disease, is guilty of cruelty to his patient. Renewed efforts are being made to stop this practice, and to encourage the building of small local hospitals in every city and town in the country. Attempts are also being made in Southern California and in Texas to exclude indigent consumptives or to send them back to the east.

Around its mouth is a stock of 12,000 pieces of finished marble. There is a great gap in the hillside. The marble crops out as bare of soil or vegetation as a billiard ball. You can walk over that hill and never step on anything but marble, and after two score years of blasting and drilling they don't know how deep the deposit lies. It seems there's enough marble in that one hill for an eternity. Not Ambiguous at All The donkey is—or has been—associated with party politics in other countries besides our own. In one of England's elections a candidate for parliament, the late Lord Bath, called attention to himself by means of a donkey over whose back two panniers were slung, bearing a ribbon band on which was printed: "Vote for Papa." It must be added, however, that in each pannier stood one of Lord Bath's daughters—Youth's Companion.

Yes, when all they leave of your garden is a reminiscence; yes, when the young cock, fall of the joy of life, rouses you in the early dawn; yes, when some low-browed, vulgar fowl whips the very life out of your blooded pet; yes, when the pip or other alliment worries the amateur breeder. But when fried? Never! A Suspicious Silence Howard was only 20 months older than the baby. He had somehow come to realize that Elwood, who was creeping, was more likely to be in mischief when quiet. One day he called to his mother with a great deal of anxiety in his little voice: "Mamma, I hear Elwood keeping still"—The Dellineator. SENSE ABOUT FOOD Facts About Food Worth Knowing. It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a person's stomach is out of order and most foods cause trouble. Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will digest. Actual experience of people is valuable to anyone interested in foods. A Terre Haute woman writes: "I had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. "I was urged to try Grape-Nuts and since using it I do not have to starve myself any more, but I can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satisfied, dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and I am now strong and well. "My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was under the doctor's care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-Nuts. It was positively surprising to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally he had none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts. "Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and other scholars comment on it. I am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley which combine with albumen to make the gray matter to daily refill the brain and nerve centers. It is a pity that people do not know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who give their youngsters almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without medicine and expense. Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time.

By Boiling Grease—Skin All Came Off One Side of Face and Head— Thought Her Disfigured for Life. Used Cuticura: No Scar Left. "My baby was sitting beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. I used about three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1, Henry St. South Shields, Durham, England, Mareh 22, 1908."

He was sitting with a party of friends, one of whom was smoking an enormous cigar. The friend had difficulty in keeping the cigar going, and by his repeated lightings had frazzled the end of it until it was about twice its original size. But he kept bravely at it. Suddenly Simpson began to laugh. "What are you laughing at, Tom?" asked another member of the party.

White Steamers Use Kerosene as Fuel WHITE THE WHITE STEAMER WHICH MADE A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION OF KEROSENE AS FUEL ON THE RECENT 2650-MILE GLIDDEN TOUR. The most interesting announcement ever made in connection with the automobile industry was undoubtedly that made a month or two ago to the effect that the new models of the White Steam Cars could be run on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of gasoline. Everyone at once recognized that the use of the new fuel would add materially to the advantages which the White already possessed over other types of cars. There were some people, however, who were sceptical as to whether or not the new fuel could be used with complete success, and, therefore, the makers of the White Car, the White Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, determined to make a public demonstration of the new fuel in the 1909 Glidden Tour. The complete success of the new fuel while on the 2650-mile public test and on the advantages gained through its use were well described in the following dispatch which the correspondent of the New York Sun sent to his paper at the conclusion of the tour: "A feature of the tour which was watched with special interest was that the White Steamer used kerosene, or 'coal oil', as fuel instead of gasoline. The new fuel worked splendidly throughout the 2650-mile journey, and all claims made in its behalf were fully proven. First of all, as regards cheapness, the White driver secured kerosene all along the route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheaper per gallon than was paid for gasoline. Secondly, the new fuel was amount of fuel used on the show that kerosene is at fifteen per cent, more efficient, for gallon, than gasoline. The other respects made a most credit showing, and there was the usual array among the observers to be signed to the White so that could ride with the maximum of fort. The only adjustments of pairs charged against the car did the long trip were tightening a cator pipe and wiring a damaged guard. These penalties were not flicted until more than 2000 had been completed with an absolutely perfect score." A particularly interesting feature of the new White Steamer is either kerosene or gasoline used as fuel. The necessary a From the standpoint of the public, no test more satisfactory could have been selected. First of all, the distance covered on the Glidden Tour, from Detroit to Denver and thence to Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This was certainly more than sufficient to bring out any weaknesses, if such had existed. Still more important was the fact that the car was at all times while on the road under the supervision of observers named by those who entered other contesting cars. Therefore, it would have been impossible for the driver of the White to have even tightened a bolt without the fact being noted and a penalty inflicted. At night the cars were guarded by Pinkerton detectives and could not be approached by any one. What Did He Know About it? "Jinx says there's nothing in this strenuous life."

First of all, as regards cheapness, the White driver secured kerosene all along the route from 5 cents to 10 cents cheaper per gallon than was paid for gasoline. Secondly, the new fuel was handled without any precautions, and it was not unusual to see kerosene being poured into the fuel tank while the crew of the car and an interested crowd stood by with lighted cigars and cigarettes. At the finish of the tour, the White was the only car permitted by the authorities to enter Convention Hall, where the technical examination took place, without draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the new fuel proved to be absolutely without smoke or smell. Fourthly, kerosene could be purchased at whatever part of the route was most convenient, and not once during the trip through the ten States of the Middle West was there found a grocery store where kerosene was not readily and cheaply obtainable.

A particularly interesting feature of the new White Steamer is that either kerosene or gasoline may be used as fuel. The necessary adjustments so that the fuel may be changed from kerosene to gasoline, or vice versa, may be made in a couple of minutes; but so completely successful has kerosene proved to be, that it is not believed that any purchasers will care to use gasoline The White Company report that the demand for their new steam cars—both the $2000-model and the $4000-model—exceed their most sanguine expectations. It is evident that the combination of steam—the power which everyone understands and has confidence in—with kerosene—the fuel which everyone has on hand and can handle without any danger—is thoroughly appreciated by up-to-date purchasers of automobiles. $33 to Pacific Coast Colonist one-way second-class tickets on sale daily from Chicago, September 15 to October 15, via the Chicago, Union Pacific & North Western Line to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Puget Sound points.
