Leather Belts in Paris Leather Belts in Paris TWO VIEWS OF WITH A WHITE THE SHAPED BELT PIQUE DRESS STRAIGHT PATENT LEFTER WORK WITH A LINEN MORNING FROCK THE DEFENDER WITH A SWORD TWENTY-SEVEN Leather Be TWO VIEWS OF WITH A WHITE THE SHA PIQUE D Paris loves the pulled-in waist line. While she has held bravely and long to the high-waisted skirt on many of her gowns, and, indeed, with an aror not known in America, she has grasped the opportunity with the very first gown that admitted of it, to put on a leather belt, and a close one at that. She has worn this belt during the summer with some of the foulard and lingerie gowns and with the best of her linen morning frocks. She has strained a point to wear it with dresses that were scarcely built for it. In this particular fashion period through which we are passing, the belt is frequently impossible with the half-fitted princess of the moyen age, except it be the loose leather belt of the silken girdle run through slots opened beside the princess panels. The pulling in of a closely fitted princess is about as awkward as anything that could well be imagined, but the Parisian woman, who always finds her opportunity, has worn a shaped leather belt successfully with a model like the white plaque shown in Several Simple But Most Important Principles Which Should Be Understood. There are a few principles, simple but most important, which should be understood by every woman who sets out to be her own interior decorator. Do not hang curtains of one color against a wallpaper of another. If possible to avoid do not put different papers on the walls of rooms which adjoin, with wide archways or folding doors between. If it is necessary, the character of the rooms, to have slightly different kinds of paper, let them be as near alike as possible in color. The design does not make so much difference. Do not join carpets of opposite colors. When it is not possible to have carpets alike in rooms joined by wide openings, a rug should be laid over the seam to hide it. Oriental rugs, beautiful as, they are, should be used with discretion. In a small, many-colored room they are likely to "howl" at each other. They are very good when used to light up a one-tone room. Blouse of tussah silk trimmed in an original way with fagoted bands of the same material. The jabot is of the silk and lace. The sleeve, trimmed to correspond, have a tucked strap of the silk on the outside, finished with the lace. Use Twisted Cotton. Some women waste their time in feather-stitching dainty garments with embroidery thread. The embroidery thread being soft, when the garment is laundered it is pressed into the material and loses its individuality. Twisted cotton, which comes by the ball in various numbers, and which is sometimes used for crocheting, is the most satisfactory thread with which to do this dainty work. Remedy for Burns A simple remedy for burns is made by adding to a cupful of olive oil a teaspoonful of carbolic acid. Apply bandage soaked in the mixture. THE GAZETTE the picture. The cut of this dress, although including the long hip and suggesting the wattue plait from yoke to belt, is such that it admits of a decided waist line. This shaped belt of shiny leather is made of three pieces, which fit it about the figure very snugly. The straight patent leather worn with the striped linen morning frock, although made of one piece, is also an outlined belt and fastened with a square leather covered buckle. Now, the French woman oversteps the mark when she wears her beloved shiny belt with the fitted foulard gown of princess cut, but to her the girdle seems an irresistible accessory. Parisians always feel privileged to perform remarkable feats in fashion making, but fortunately the sensible American is given to adaptations. She will, in all probability, wear the extreme patent leather, but instinctively with gowns made for it; with models having a blouse and skirt and a distinct waist line. The leather belt is at its best worn with a turnover collar and a four-in-hand or with a Puritan collar and Windsor tie. It Will Be Worn by the Majority of Women Next Winter. Although much protest was made last winter about the re-appearance of the "bang" across the forehead, it seems to be rather firmly intrenched now. The majority of women will wear it this winter. In large measure it will be becoming. It will compel women to lift from their foreheads that low-hanging mass of hair, now the fashion, and substitute it with a tiny, wavy fringe. It is absurd to cut the hair to make this bang. One can buy it by the piece in any hair shop and attach it under one's own hair by an invisible hairpin. One should be extra careful not to get it thick or straight. The poodle bang, once so fashionable in the eighties of the nineteenth century, also promises to return. It has already done so in Paris, but there it, like the wavy fringe, only accompanies the flattened pompadour. Both of these have been introduced to give softness to a forehead from which the hair has been lifted, and also to give a showing of hair under the hat. They should never be worn with the hair severely parted in front. White Net Frock. A standard white dress, and the most advisable if you are making it right now, is the point d'esprit or fine wash net, for the very obvious reason that the whole season is no longer before you, and you, therefore, will not want to make a dress for summer only. The point d'esprit dress is a most useful as well as a beautiful little dancing frock. If it be made in one of the pretty fluffy ways that these sheer dresses naturally call for, the yoke and lower sleeves may later be removed and a bit of lace added as a finish. With the addition of little wreaths of artificial pink roses or small bunches of red rambler roses, the frock will be ideal for winter evenings. A. Bibbon Pinholder. For this pretty pinholder five different lengths of 1½-inch satin ribbon are suspended from a brass ring crocheted over with heavy embroidery silk. To the ring is also attached a bow of the satin ribbon, just hy way of decoration. The lower end of each ribbon is looped through a brass ring and hemmed. These rings are not covered. To make this an acceptable present, each ring is filled with safety pins, slipped on and clasped. Two sizes of black pins may be used and three of nickel, including the very smallest shield pins. Gingham Cushion Covers Pretty cushion covers are made of dress gingham in plain colors, old rose, Alice blue, green or yellow, to correspond with the color scheme of the room. The covers are feather-sitched in white to Inclose inside the edge and are finished with buttons and buttonholes, so that they can be laundered when necessary. Learn to Relax. Relaxation is the secret of taking the mental, moral and physical kinks out of one's system in the warm weather. It will take all the unsightly lines from your face and event new ones from formatting. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. HOPEFUL SIGNS OF THE FUTURE! SPLENDIDD SHOWING IS MADE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF REAL ESTATE By Our People of Philadelphia — Valued at More Than $10,000,000 — Thirty-two Incorporated Business Concerns — Professional and Other Workers, Lodges, Churches and Other Organizations. Philadelphia, third largest city of the United States, has an Afro-American population of $3,000, according to a census just taken under private auspices. In such population Philadelphia is exceeded only by Washington, Baltimore, and New Orleans. Among the more notable Facts of the Colored Section of Philadelphia, just published, are these relating to taxation. Total taxable value of real estate owned.....$2,438,675 18 properties assessed at less than $500 each. 4.725 $10,000 or over. 18,500. The cash earned by our people is conservatively estimated at over $10,000,000. In the year 1800 there were 6,800 Negroes in the Quaker city. Today it has over 20,000 voters, of whom 2,190 are classed as illiterate. There are about 53,000 between the ages of 10 and 21 years of age who are illiterate, according to the latest census the workers are thus divided: Agricultural pursuits, 214; professional service, 585; domestic and personal service, 26,646; trade and transportation, 4,727; manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, 3,061. Classed as professional masters, the majority are the magistrate, 28 physicians, six artists, four chiropodists, two oculists, two electrical engineers, 50 public school teachers, 4 private school teachers, 18 graduate nurses, and 22 music teachers. Thirty-two incorporated business concerns in Philadelphia are represented by American teachers. They control five insurance companies and publish 20 newspapers, mostly weeklies. Their charitable and philanthropic organizations number 35. There are three day nurseries for children, 13 missions, eight social settlements, and four associations for the protection of churches, with a membership of nearly 30,000. More than half of these church members are Baptists. Of fraternal societies there are 20 lodges of Odd Fellows, one lodge of Elks, 19 Masonic lodges, with six chapters of the United Guild of Knights Templar, and three divisions of the Scottish rite. There are two Grand Army posts, and also two camps of Sons of Veterans. There are four political clubs, two religious and social organizations, four literary societies, and 26 social, beneficial and industrial organizations. Day nursery club to one of Pullman car porters. Commenting on the real estate holdings, the Odd Fellows Journal says: "Just how much the wealth of the Philadelphia Afro-American is cannot be told. For real estate and personal property an estates company is necessary. Considering the general economic disadvantages in the large northern cities the accumulations of our peo ple in Philadelphia constitute a hopeful sign of the race's future." A GRAND CELEBRATION. Lima, O. —What proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful emancipation celebrations ever held in this section of the state was that of this week Wednesday at the Driving park. In the late morning there was a parade through the principal streets and to the park, preceded by a local band. Conspicuous in the parade were carriages containing prominent men, white and Colored, including Mayor Becker. There was also a float beautiful with decorations and surmounted by a bevy of beautiful young ladies dressed in white with pink trimmings. After dinner at the park, and a band concert in the grand stand, A. L. Byrd, master of ceremonies, was introduced by D. W. Day. After prayer by Rev. E. W. pastor, J. H. B. stated in an appropriate and very pleasing manner the occasion of the large gathering. In closing he introduced the speaker of the day, the editor of The Gazette, who for an hour and a half kept the large audience's undivided attention and interest, often rousing it to exceptional enthusiasm. As a public speaker, Mr. Smith is deservedly popular here as his frequent engagements for the public, and attest, Mrs. Hester Davis followed with a beautiful classical vocal selection that was most creditable in the extreme. She received a splendid encore and responded with "Rosary," which was certainly artistically rendered and almost as greatly appreciated. She has a very sweet and high soprano voice. Lack of space forbids further mention, except to say that the grand chorus, the Northwestern Quartette, the various races, games and other amusements proved most entertaining. There were appropriate exercises at the church, closing a day's celebration long to be remembered. The committee of arrangements, Messrs. Day, Allen Burton, C. L. and W. L. Young (sec.) have every reason to feel proud of the grand success. KUBIAK GIVEN BAD BEATING. Joe Jeannette Outpoints His Opponent in a Six-round Bout. Philadelphia, Pa. — Al. Kublak, (white) was defeated by Joe Jeannette last Saturday evening in a six-round battle. Kublak took a great amount of punishment, but gamely stuck to his task. Jeannette, however, was too clever for him and gradually wore him down by hard jabs and body punches. In the first round both men set out at a hot place. They exchanged punches and near the end of the round, Kublak caught Jeannette on the jaw with a stiff left which staggered him. Jeannette came back strong in the second round, and using his left hand with great effect, soon had Kublak on the defensive. In the third round Jeannette dropped the white man with a right jolt to the left, but he was on the defensive. He saved himself from hot drives. In the remaining rounds Jeannette was Kublak's master at all times. Joe Walcott Still In the Fighting Limelight. Youngstown, O.—It seems funny to read that Joe Walcott is still fighting for a living, but such is the case. This is the twentieth year he has been in the ring, and if it weren't for the fact that one of his hands was badly injured by the premature discharge of a pistol, he would make a little trouble for the boxer. He was假日. After his hand was hurt he retired temporarily from the ring and became careless in his mode of living. It was this that put him back more than the injury. At that, last year he fought 12 times against fairly classy men and won a goodly percentage of his fights. The best men he boxed in 1908 were Jim Gardner, George Cockburn, and Barley Connelly and Larry Temple and it was Walcott's nineteenth year at the game. Successfully Defended Three Whites. Birmingham, Ala.—For the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitants of this part of the country an Afro-American lawyer recently defended three white men in Alabama on the charge of grand larceny, acquitted all three of the charge and his masterly defense as set forth in what the white spectators at the trial pronounced one of the strongest speeches ever made before that tribunal. Hon. H. V. Cahoon, United States ex-receiver of public money, is the name of the lawyer and the trial took place at Decatur, Ala. James Dodson, James Chandler and Dick Roden were acquitted of the charge with stealing a barge and a large quantity of submarine cable wire and other supplies. Mr. Cashin was educated in the schools of Philadelphia. Seven Killed in a Man Hunt. Sandy Point, Tex.—A race war is threatened here as the result of the lynching to a railroad trestle Saturday week, of Steve Hayes and Charles Delancey. The double lynching brings the fatalities of a four-day man hunt up to seven, four Negroes and three white men. Hundreds of Afro-Americans, heavily armed, are gathering on a sheep ranch five miles from here and are threatening to attack the whites, who are likewise in an ugly mood. The trouble is with H. H. Munson, white, by Steve Hayes. In an attempt to arrest Hayes, Eugene Hardin, partner of Munson, and Tim Jordan, were killed. Hayes, Delancey and three other Negroes took to the plains, followed by a mob. In a fight Friday two of them were killed. Sir A. Conan Doyle Rips Congo. Sir A. Cohan Doyle Rips Congo. London, Eng.—Departing for Gibraltar, Sir Arthur Omar the Emir, which gave a long intervein declaring his views of the Congo atrocities. His book on "The Crime in the Congo" will be issued simultaneously in Europe and America within the next ten days. His royalties will be expended entirely in distributing free copies, so that all may be brought to realize what a terrible condition it is. The general bearer of Doyle's book will force the rowers to some action. He declares that not a promise of reform has been kept and that the crimes against the Congo blacks continue absolutely unabated. He says civilization has never before condoned a situation of greater horror. Gov. Deneen Urges Negro Exposition. Chicago, Ill.—A permanent industrial exposition for Afro-Americans of this city, in which a perpetual display of the work done by members of the race could be maintained and attention to the city thus continuously called to its accomplishments, was urged by Gov. Deneen recently before a large body of our people in the A.M. E. church, Dearborn and Thirlstreet streets, in which our local Business league was conducting an exposition. The governor saw such an action at the session and told one he was struck with its value as showing just what they had done and could do, a great means toward establishing respect for the race in America. White and Rich, Yet Lived as a Negro Fayetteville, N. C. - A. O. Thornton, wealthy and prominent politically in reconstruction days, is dead at his home. He is said to have been the only woman in North Carolina later legally married to a Negro. For many years he lived as one. His funeral was conducted in one of our churches. He left a widow and five children. Can't Keep Them Away. Muskogee, Okla.-Placarding the neighborhood with warnings that unless the three white men who located in the Negro town of Taft, Okla., two weeks ago, left town immediately, death would be their punishment, Negroes last week Thursday night dynamited the store of one of the whites. The white merchants declare they will remain. Further trouble is expected. Read the Old Reliable Gazette.

Houston, Tex.—Following an anonymous threat by a Negro champion to the police authorities to destroy the city by fire if the police did not desist in their unjust actions toward our people there have been many incendias, and the loss of the property of $50,000. In one city addition 11 houses were totally destroyed, making a total of 18 in three days. Wednesday night a member of the race was detected in the act of setting fire to a large residence. The whites were killed and the blacks were a protective alliance and of organizing a night patrol of white men, armed with shot guns. It is known that hundreds of Springfield rifles recently shipped here were purchased by Negroes of the lower class. It is believed their resentfulness is in part due to the mistreatment concerning the public markets. They also are excluded from public parks, and at the annual fall carnival are herded on one side of designated streets and forbidden to mingle with the crowds. The recent incident is for stealing a few electric fans is another grievance. They form one-third of the population, or about 35,000. St. James' Church Praises Its Pastor.

WASHINGTON Barred From the Leading Hotel—Senator Dick Offered to Entertain Him In His Home. Akron, O.—The management of the Buchtel hotel Saturday refused to receive Dr. Booker T. Washington, who once lunched with President Roosevelt in the White House, as a guest over Sunday. Dr. Washington came to Akron to make two addresses at the fashionable First Congregational church here. Rev. Howard McAydal, pastor of the church, went to the Buchtel to make arrangements for a suite for Mr. Washington. He announced afterwards that the hotel refused to entertain him. Senator Senator Chas. Dick. Charles Dick heard about the matter and sent Rev. McAydal an invitation for Mr. Washington to be his house guest at his residence on shore with him. McAydal already had made arrangements for him to stay at the Empire hotel, so he declined Senator Dick's offer with an expression of thanks. "Red Moon" Co. stopped at a leading white hotel while here last week. DOINGS OF THE RACE Abbie Mitchell, Will Marion Cook's wife, is in vaudeville.

Mason secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, came here to speak before the conference, and while he was waiting went to a local hotel.

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 editor of The Gazette is indebted to Hon. C. H. Wirmel, state labor commissioner, for a bound (in cloth) copy of Ohio Labor Statistics for 1908. The Hon. H. V. Cashin, the two Joe's (Walcott and Jeannette) and others of the race are meeting with signal success, these days. That is some consolation. The Afro-Americans of Houston, Tex., are to be congratulated. They will stop much of the mistreatment, of which they complain. See Houston, Tex., letter, elsewhere in this paper. --- Sir A. Conan Doyle has given those persons responsible for a continuance of the Congro atrocities, possibly their severest jolt. We sincerely hope his new book will do all the good it is hoped it will. That was a very graceful act of Senator Charles Dick's, and he meant it. Booker Washington ought to have accepted the hospitality proffered, if the Empire hotel bill had to be paid. A LEADER would have done so, for the good it would have done. Texas white brutes, in the name of the "law," butchered (shot down) Afro-Americans last week by the "wholesale" in and about Sandy Point. Nearly ten innocent ones were killed in a hunt for one or two alleged guilty ones. GREAT GOD! How long! And Rev. M. C. B. Mason of Cheinchinati want away up into Wisconsin to get it, too. As if there wasn't enough, in his own city. Read our Kenosha letter and Booker T. Washington's "Chickens" editorial, elsewhere in this paper. This latter, carefully.

The average vote for vice mayor, city auditor, city treasurer and city solicitor, for all candidates for each of these offices was 89,494 which, divided by four, equals 22,374. This 'means that more than one person out of every four who went to the polls and voted for the Republican mayoralty candidates voted a plumker for Mr. Baehr. Where did the rest of Mr. Johnson's votes go to over and above his 15,000? The Democratic organization in the aggregate is and was stronger than the Republican organization. Why didn't occasionally one of these people out of four vote for someone of the next four candidates running for the next four high est offices? Strange! DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S "CHICKENS." Last Saturday Dr. Booker T. Washington was refused accommodation in the leading hotel of Akron, the "Butchall," and one of his Ohio "chickens" came home to roost." For years the well known apostle of industrial education has been coming to this state and in his lectures and speeches telling derisive and very harmful "nigger" stories (in the face of our repeated protests) and advising both our people and all others that "Negroes" should not "go into public places where they are not wanted," until now many whites have accepted his advice and are acting on it with the result that not only has the Y. M. C. A. of this city closed its doors to Afro-Americans ("on Booker T. Washington's advice," as a leading trustee of the association told the Rev. Dr. Charles Bundy and the editor of The Gazette several years ago), but also hundreds of Ohio hotels, dining-room, amusement, etc. At Akron, last Saturday, Dr. Washington was by a single victim of his own folly. If he is the "national" leader many people and some misguided trucking "Negroes" would have him Akron to his manhood, citizenship and the race by entering suit against the Buchol civil rights law, and punish him for the good it will do to members of the race in Ohio and the entire country. This much he owes not only to himself and it, but particularly to the boys and girls he and thousands of others in and out of this state in this country, are trying toearr properly. His pernicious "d doctrine of surrender" will not do and his Akron experience is an illustration and exemplification, that ought to make even him and his "dough-faced" and trucking friends, "black and white, awaken to a full realization of the fact. Our franchise, civil and all other rights in this country are fast slipping away from us and none are being regained because THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909. of a criminal failure to fight for those lost and to retain those we still enjoy at least in part, that never characterized any other quasi-intelligent people in the history of the world. It is such culpable, weakening and disgusting "leadership" as Booker T. Washington and his friends, white and black, have sought so actively in recent years to saddle on our people, that has resulted in a racial retrogression along a civil and franchise rights' line as will all but stagger any intelligent, honest and honorable man of any race who will take the trouble to familiarize himself with the facts. It is indeed a sad, very sad condition of affairs, one that is positively inexhaustible, too, if our people possess one-half the intelligence we boast of. Notwithstanding the fact that we have this "national leader," five or six "national" organizations, thousands upon thousands of university and college teachers, graduates and wealthy men and women, one cannot point to a single case in the United States supreme court to test the constitutionality of a single one of the eight or nine southern state disfranchisement laws, or to test the constitutionality of southern state "Jim Crow" car laws, even so far as they effect INTER-STATE passengers; or any effort whatever in northern states to regain civil rights in public places lost because we will not in most instances use laws like our Ohio civil rights' law, and others, passed particularly for our benefit. If we are a race of "Washingtoners," or "a race of mongrels," as Bishop Henry M. Turner of the great A. M. E. church, is alleged to have termed us, there seems to be no better way of proving it than for Booker Washington to refuse to sue that Akron hotel proprietor, and for the rest of the race to go on sleeping the sleep of criminal neglect of their most vital rights and interests until the day soon arrives when Afro Americans will be reduced to the plane of the Russian serf and the American slave of years ago, one practically devoid of all citizen and manhood rights. "For God's sake," for your own and your family's sake as well as for the race's sake, Booker T. Washington and "Negroes" of America, WAKE UP! and act like intelligent MEN and WOMEN so unfortunately placed and situated, ought to There are not many more years left in which to do this, either. THE O. S. & S. O. HOME COLOR LINE. Judging from all we have been able to learn, from publications in recent issues of The Gazette, letters from the superintendent (Col. Edward D. Sawyer of this city), trustees of the Home, the Colored matron and inmates there and our correspondent in that city, a very harmful, unnecessary and uncalled-for-color line has been drawn by the superintendent of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, located at Xenla, this state, in the placing, for the first time in the history of that well-known and heretofore well-conducted institution, of all of our girl-inmates in a cottage to themselves with a Colored matron, and this too, without the knowledge or the consent of the board of trustees or Governor Harmon. We do not believe that Col. Sawyer, whom we have known for years, did this with other than good intentions, and yet he has made a SERIOUS mistake which we believe he will not hesitate to undo just as soon as he can well do so. The effect of such an act is wide-spread and most harmful not only to the Afro-American inmates of the Home but to all members of the race in the state and this country. This is especially true in these days of increased prejudice in almost all avenues of public life. It establishes a bad precedent which this grand old state of ours should not be forced to stand for even in this backward day and time when entirely too little is heard of "the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God." Ohio, a birthstate of abolitionism, underground railroads of slavery days, of the fairest treatment to all its sons and daughters of all classes, the home of Wade, Gldings, Pendleton, Thurman, Garfield, Matthews, Gibson, McKinley, Nash, our present broad-guaged and exceptionally able governor, the Hon. Judson Harmon, and last but far from least, our great and good friend, the soldier, jurist, statesman and orator, Joseph Benson Foraker, is the state of all states in this great country, that cannot afford to permit to stand, any such recognition of a benevolent prejudice so very harmful to a struggling race that in every war of this country and upon every other occasion requiring its services in behalf of the government, has "made good with a vengeance." This race's inmates of the O. S. & S. O. Home are entitled to the same treatment there that is given to those of all other races or classes, none of which are segregated and placed in a separate cottage to themselves. There are no cottages at the Home for Irish and German girls and those 'of other classes; they are not put off to themselves, and ours should not be either, Ohio Afro-Americans do not want it. Col. Sawyer, regardless of the expressions of the Afro-American inmates and matron of cottage No. 20, at the Home. Veterans' children, of a race that furnished two hundred thousand soldiers in the war of the rebellion, and many thousands in the Spanish-American war, are entitled to the same respect and treatment accorded ALL others in Ohio's state institutions, to say the least. Ft. Pillow, Ft. Wagner, Petersburg and scores of other battles, as well as the Cuban "array," where Col. Roosevelt's life and those of hundreds of the "Rough Riders" were saved by brave soldiers of our four regular army regiments, DEMAND I, Gov. Harmon, Supt. Sawyer and of board of trustees! Abolish all color-lines (if there be others), in the O. S. & S. O. Home, and let the remains of the dead veterans—fathers of the girls in cottage No. 20—rest in their graves!

Lack of Regard for These and for Principles Involved in Political and Other important Racial Activities What Causes the Loss of Prestige. Is it any wonder that we are losing prestige in the political arena out here in the east end, when it comes to the betterment of race conditions? Race leaders ought to be sincere, no matter what they are up against. If we would have success, we must have confidence in ourselves, faith in each other, and the most important part of all is faith in God. Faith is what we believe, only political belief all social institutions are founded. It is in fact the only tie that links men together in society. What is the election of a president, of a king, or of a magistrate, but words that are kept, words followed by actions? What is commerce, what is banking, what is manufacturing, hiring, paying, renting, but words and promises followed by fulfillment. It is the fulfillment of promises, contracts, promises, promises, society together. Fail to maintain such contracts, and no obligations will be made, no engagements will be entered into; there will be no trust, no confidence, no production, no industry, and in the end no society. All contracts, business, social and political relations presuppose natural morality, veracity, and humanity. Morality and humanity morality and truthfulness cannot form any kind of society, and if they are admitted to an existing one, they become in it a decomposing element. There are out in the east end a few old men and many young men of the race who stand for principle. You can not buy the goods, but promises. You must deliver the goods.

August 18, 1909—It is a Strong One. For four years the Niagara Movement has struggled to make 10,000,000 Americans of Negro descent cease from mere apology and weak surrender to aggression, and take a firm unfallen stand for justice, manhood and selfassertion. We are accumulating property at a constantly accelerating rate; we are rapidly lowering our rate of illiteracy; but property and intelligence are of little use unless guided by the great ideals of Freedom, Justice and Human Brotherhood. As a partial result of our effort, we are glad to note among us increasing spiritual unrest, sterner impatience with cowardice and deeper determination to be men at any cost. Along with undoubted advance and development, we continue without unceasing effort to discern and proscribe us. We not only travel in public ignominy and discomfort, but at the instance of some of our weak-kneed leaders, the interstate commerce commission has recently sought to make a pitiful apology for this disgrace. Our right to work is questioned not only by some who are attempting to fight the labor, but even by those very people who declare us fit for nothing else. We are glibly told to deserve before we complain; yet those of us who do deserve are proscribed along with the least by men who know that ability and desert come oftenest through freedom and power. Such power we must have: Political power, economic power of mind. We had enough power to propose to a student who blundered at Brownsville and was too stubborn to say so; we still have enough power to rebuke the president who proposes to turn competent black men out of all positions which any white man wants. We have this power now, but unless we use it we shall lose it. We have fewer criminals seek to scare and vilify us while they despoil us. We have fewer criminals than our systematic training in crime warrants; yet we are daily pictured as thugs and murderers and lynched without trial for the crime of any scamp who blacks his face. Peonage and prejudice are used to keep our wages low and education is proposed to fit us only for mental service. Do men forget that the wages of white Americans cannot permanently rise far above the wages of black Americans, and do they not know that the half-drunken senator who can mow to-morrow kick white laborers in stairs? And yet who too often lead the fight against us? Poor and ignorant who has spurred on by the richer and more intelligent who hide behind the mob and fatten on its agro-distranchisement and its agro-distranchisement is practically competent with these regions where white ignorance, political fraud and murder are greatest. That black men are inherently inferior to white men is a wide-spread lie which science falsely contradicts, the color of races is one with white forts of the wily to exploit the weak. We must therefore make common cause with the oppressed and down-trodden of all races and peoples; with our kindred of South Africa and West Africa; with the oppressed of Mexico, India and Russia, and with the cause of working-classes everywhere. On us rests to no little degree the burden of the cause of individual freedom, human brotherhood, and universal peace in a day when America is forgetting her promise and destiny. Let us work on and never despair because pigly eyes are loudly praising ill-gotten wealth, big guns and humankind. We must present back edilies in the Tide of Time. The causes of God cannot be lost.

The great lesson of self-help is the hope of the Negro. Unlike all other people, the so-called big ones and leaders are the most traitorous and disloyal to the enterprises and purposes of the race. Open a grocery store, meat market, clothing house; commence the practice of law or medicine, operate a printing plant, or establish a place where the white man will cater to a Negro, you will find the so-called leading Negro doing his d—dest to turn all the money he can control into the coffers of the white man, while at the same time howling about love for the race. This rotating at the top—this aping royalty by black professional putons is the eye-sore of the enlightened world. For these creatures the Dallas Express has never had any feeling of the race and until the race makes these scallions odious their tribe will continue to increase to the detriment and damnation of the people upon whom they subsist. Let us cut out the rot or all is lost—Dallas (Tex). Express. Sins of Commission. "He wore sins of omission." "No, not at all. His sins were those of the broker who goes wrong." "I see your point.

Va.—An entire family of six persons was murdered and the bodies of all but one of the victims were burned with their home at Hurley, Buchanan county, W. Va. The motive evidently was robbery as the owner of the house, an aged woman known as "Aunt Betty" Justis, was generally supposed to keep a large sum of money about the place. Mrs. Justis, her son-in-law, George Meadows, his wife and their three children were the victims. Meadow's body, badly mutilated, was found lying in the yard of his destroyed home, the funeral pyre of his loved ones. A search of the ruins of the house disclosed a sickening spectacle. The blackened masses of half burned flesh and charred bones of the two women and the three children were found beneath the debris, each body bearing evidences of murder committed before the house was destroyed by fire. The elder woman's skull was upturned some distance from the remainder of her half burned body. Another daughter of Mrs. Justis told the police that her mother had a large sum of money buried under the sill of the house and they succeeded in digging up $950 in gold and silver. The murderers are supposed to have secured the $600 which "Aunt Betty" always carried on her person.

This is the way and the only way, to stop discrimination against our people in public places in this city and state. MY VISIT TO THE WARRENSVILLE FARM. This institution of our city is great in its broad acres—nearly 2,000; great in its altitude, at the highest point, 675 feet above the lake level; great in its industrial possibilities, through the fertility of these many acres; great in beauty, comfort and beauty; great in the meeting the ends of their erection; great in comprehensiveness for the care of the infirm, the aged, the scoured with tuberculosis, the feeble-minded, and for the housing, working and otherwise taking humane care of prisoners; and great in the promise of the care of the visions of the large heart and big brain of Dr. Cooley, and enthusiastically seconded by his able assistant, Mr. Vining. I was impressed greatly with the zeal exhibited by all in charge to make this plant the foremost of its kind in the country. In fact, have you ever heard of hard work which equals it. It is a most happy combination of the industrial idea, a most restful home for the unfortunate aged, a hospital for the proper care of the sick, together with the most humane prison life, appealing to these to get back to their better work by work, meditation, wholesome schooling where needed. When I looked at the beautiful buildings, the fine machinery doing the work of the institution, the modern kitchen equipment, the live stock, the beautifying of the grounds, the building of roads, bridging the depressive grounds, and the purchase-price of the land, together with the nearness to the city, I could not have been more surprised when I inquired the cost of all these, to date, and was told that it was only about $800,000. If put on the market to-day the city could realize almost double that sum, on the investment. The good already done for those cared for there, the moral influence of it on this state and city is almost insignificant, and an honor to all concerned, and enhances the glory of Cleveland far above any money consideration. My prayer is that the despoiling hand of partisan politics, and the greed of grafters may forever be kept out of the hands of the government for all time. It is without doubt true that the average law-breaker is far better off on the farm than at liberty. First, he is made to work in a manner and under conditions infinitely better than exposure to temptations and leading an idle life. He has a clean, comfortable bed, cared for by him, and is well-educated and well-entitled building, and otherwise sanitary. The food is abundant, the right sort, and properly prepared. The method of control is in accordance with the best civilization, heightened by Christian influences. The average criminal cannot escape coming back to liberty a better man or woman, and with a higher self-respect. In fact, it is there conceded that even a criminal can be saved by the religion of Christ Jesus is in evidence as is indicated in the provisions there provided for worship. By using the labor of the inmates, thousands of dollars are saved to the city in the use of products of the farm. It is a bee-hive of industry. There are the products of the land, the dairy, the barnyard, the barnyard orchard, the luxury of fruits. If Dr. Cooley and his faithful efficient assistants are spared to carry out their dreams to a conclusion, and all is practicable, this already great institution, in the future, will be a glory to Cleveland, and the present greatness will be but a small thing in comparison. You can visit the Cooley farm at Warrenville if they desire wholesome information, to learn what great things are being accomplished there for the fortunate and the needy. No words will do justice to it; neither can my pen sketch it satisfactorily. For one, I should like to see the present management continued. Thus and only thus can the plans now conceived be most surely realized. VIDI. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909. Is Your Hair Beautiful Soft, Silky and Long?

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909. --- From the Hand of Life By Clinton Dangerfield (Copyright, by J. B. Lippincott Co.) Once there were two men who had rendered such service to life that she resolved to grant them any favor they might ask, and so advised them. Now the two men were brothers and above all things in the universe they desired happiness, and so determined they would ask a gift which should render Happiness forevermore, enamored of their company. Therefore together they wended their way to the temple of Life, the goddess, and unto her they cried—"Oh Life, we are resolved to ask you the gift that delights Happiness that she may be willing to remain with us." And the goddess answered: "Many have thought so to hold her. Be it as you will." Then the elder brother said confidently: rence of things, the dawn blust stood in a kine rapture as the creased and the of the perfect went gladly to the fresh love on every side. each intonation notes as greeted were but newly clay, and he m monest flowers had not done a early childhood The strength that drew his its grandeur and furrow and the was daily calli being for the e "As I have already health and many talents, only one thing more is necessary to keep happiness with me. Give me gold, and in such quantities that if I live a hundred years I cannot spend it all." Smiling a little, the goddess said, "Thou hast it." Then came the younger brother, and his voice was low and troubled, for he knew the thing he was about to say would bring on him the ridicule of his elder, but finally he said—"Thou, the all-powerful, give me the undimmed sense of wonder." And as the goddess answered, "It is thine," the elder brother fell into exceeding mirth and cried—"Thou fool! But I will have pity on thee and thou shalt share me gold." But the younger said—"Nay, buy the maiden, Happiness, with it." And the two went their separate ways, agreeing that in ten years they A He Took Home a Wife. would meet in the temple of Life and compare their fortunes. Immediately the elder brother set to work and from Parian marble he built a palace of astounding splendor and filled it with all manner of loveliness and carpeted it with rare eastern carpets and over the carpets glided slaves bought with his money who sang like God's own nightingales. And when he went abroad daily his car was drawn by horses bred in the desert; coats of silk had they and feet swifter than the swallow's wing when he turns southward. Also this man gat into himself friends, or those he called such, and the world named his palace the "Garden of Delight." But Happiness, the maiden, dwelt not there, neither heard she the honeyed voices of the slaves from those shining walls. Now the younger brother, who had also health and good understanding, went to fertile lands and built him a cottage and sowed and harvested and thereby got his bread. To the neighbour around him he seemed an ordinary man. Only the little children, who, in part, shared his gift, only they and the goddess of Life knew that his life was an exquisite series of delicious surprises. For this man's eyes were opened because his sense of wonder was unblunted and not defiled by the recur- STOCKINGS BRING LARGE SUM Woven on a Hand Loom, They Represent One Year's Work for One Weaver. Stockings that cost $210 a pair are not an unknown luxury. The price is not exorbitant when the worth of the fabric is taken into consideration, says an authority on dress. One pair represents the labor of one man for one whole year, and there are few men who know how to produce by means of the hand loom a pair of stockings se fine, so accurately woven and so exquisitely shaped as those for which the sum of $210 is charged. A hand loom weaver near Paris is the maker of stockinge such as these, and more exquisite specimens the world has never seen. The way in which the $210 stockings are decorated is by means of a panel of hand-made lace inset from within an inch and a half of the toes to a distance of ten to twelve inches above the ankle. Almost the whole of the front of the stocking is, there- rence of things. Therefore whenever the dawn blushed in the east he stood in a kind of maze or delicate rapture as the shell-like colors increased and then faded into the blue of the perfect day. And then he went gladly to his fields, knowing that fresh loveliness would greet him on every side. For his ears caught each intonation from the thrush's notes as greedily as though the bird were but newly formed from Eden's clay, and he marveled over the commonest flowers on the wayside as he had not done since the days of his early childhood. The strength of the great horses that drew his plow smote him with its grandeur and as he followed the furrow and thought how the Creator was daily calling fresh wonders into being for the eyes of man he shouted aloud for the beauty and fascination of the world. And the next year he took home a wife and the wonder he first felt that so sweet and perfect a woman should love him remained with him always and the two were never weary of gazing on each other. Therefore it is clear that this man was indeed a sovereign among men, for the commonplace knew him not, though fools thought he dwelt in the midst of it, and routine left unharmed his thrilling soul. The very ferns at the waterside were to him an unfailling miracle and it is no strange thing that the maiden, Happiness, entered in the cottage and abode contentedly with the man and his wife. But when the ten years were over the man remembered his tryst and presented himself at the temple of Life and called affectionately— "Art thou here, oh my brother?" Out from among the pillars came a harsh voice, "Nay, not he, but I who represent him," and forth came a figure terrible to see, so gaunt were its features, so haunting its heavily circled eyes. The younger was displeased and said curtly: "I do not accept thee in my brother's place. Why is he not here?" "Aye—I slew him." "Thou hast dared! Who art thou?" And the other, turning away, said indifferently; "I am the companion of kings. I am Ennui." TO BE SAFE FROM ACCIDENT Statistics Show That Traveler Takes Fewer Risks Than He Who Stays at Home. Probably the majority of people, if asked what they considered to be the safest spot for them to be in, would reply: "In bed or in an arm-chair by the side of the fire." But they are quite mistaken. The risk of injury is much greater than if one was traveling by ship or rail. The curious fact is mentioned that, according to statistics, 60 per cent. of accidents happen while the victims are at home or in the street, the explanation being that a man when going a journey or entering upon a hazardous undertaking exercises special care, thus escaping injury, but while at home or taking exercise vigilance is relaxed, familiarity with common dangers breeding contempt. Probably the safest place on land or sea is the deck or cabin of a first-class ooen liner. A first-class railway carriage is also an exceptionally safe place. This is so clearly recognized that accident insurance companies can afford to double the compensation when accidents occur on railways or tramcars. Certain companies will insure commercial travelers at premiums appreciably lower than those charged by general accident insurance companies. A man may undertake a journey around the world with a comparatively light heart. But extreme care and vigilance are needed should he venture to hang his pictures or walk down his own stairs. The perils of the streets in our big cities are, of course, so well known that there is no need to comment thereon. Most people imagine that they must be fairly safe in bed. Yet accidents happen even there. Not long ago a wealthy man was seriously injured by being burned by a hot-water bottle after he had retired to rest. The moral is, of course, that whether a man lie, sit, walk, drive or engage in any occupation or sport, he is always exposed to the risk of accident, and should take his precautions accordingly—World's Work. fore, a film of lace. Every thread of the lace is hand wrought, and the two kinds used for delicate daintiness of this type are needlepoint and Chantilly. The lace is patterned in various devices. One exquisite pair shows a flight of butterflies raised from the background and yet not detached from it, with a "filling" of various stitches, all executed by the needle. But some of the most valuable stockings are not even inset with lace. Their merit lies in the fineness of their weaving. Suburban Troubles "How does Wrigley like his new home in the country?"

COVERED WITH HIVES. Child a Mass of Dreadful Sore, Iching, Irritating Humor for 2 Months —Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight. Disease Cured by Cuticura. "My six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by playing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried several remedies but without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment relieved the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George L. Fridhoff, Warren, Mich., June 30 and July 13, 1908."

A trained nurse says: "In the practice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients. "It is delicate and pleasing to the palate (an essential in food for the sick), and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find 'Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing.' "This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice for flavouring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate without any distress. "My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients. "Personally I regard a dish of Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone—well or sick." In any case of stomach trouble, nervous prostration or brain fag, a 10 day trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding and in this way ending the trouble.

The majority of property owners are under the impression that spring time is the only painting time. But the fall of the year offers several advantages to the painter. One of the most important is that surfaces are almost sure to be dry, and there is no frost or inner moisture to work out after the paint is applied.
