TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 11. THE HAT MUSEUM IN WILLOW THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS TWENTY-SEVEN Millinery By JULIA BOTTOMLEY. UST now there is nothing more interesting to the shopper than the teresting to the shopper than the milliner's windows. They are abloom with their autumn millinery, and their offerings seem much more to the taste of the average woman than were the early showings of the season just passed. These new hats will not be the sport of the caricaturist, as many modes for spring were. They are not startling, and they are elegant and attractive. Dame fashion seems to have adopted a new fad—judging by the new fall stayles, it is fashionable to be sensible in choosing at hat. There is a drift toward durability in all millinery and especially in hats for the street. Hats of silk, cloth or leather predominate and trimming are of quills, well-made fancy feathers combined with ribbon, velvet or maline. This last looks fragile, but since the process of water-proofing, it has been discovered, it holds its own with other millinery fabrics. Three pretty new models illustrate the season's modes. The round hat trimmed with quills is a draped turban made of beaver cloth over a buckram frame. This hat is also seen made of broadcloth, felt, silk and of chamois skin combined with velvet. Some of the best models shown for fall so far are made of chamois. As it may be successfully cleaned, it will appeal to those who require a durable hat and want a pretty one. This model is a happy choice if one happens to own a piece of good broadcloth, or other heavy fabric, left over STYLISH FALL BLOUSE. Predictions of plain skirts and plaid waists seem to be coming true, if one can put faith in the advance fall displays. One importer includes among his samples a frock with plain gray cashmere skirt and blouse of coral pink surah checked with fine lines of black. Chemise and stock are white valenciennes insertion and fagoting, and the flat collar and turned cuffs are of the gray material and fagoting. A large bow of soft black satin ribbon is placed at joining of collar, with ends protruding from beneath pointed piece below bust line. Peasant Modes. The peasant skirt is a case in point, with its deep kilt and its broad sash draped round the hips and tied at the back in a loose bow. Then there is the chemise paysanne of the Swiss type, expressed in snowy muslin slightly gauged into a narrow band of embroidery so that the throat is left entirely bare. The chemise paysanne has balloon sleeves cut off at the elbows and finished like the gulpe with a band of lace or of embroidery. Such guipimes as these are extremely useful for the frocks of girls and children, and of great beauty as a finish to cloth and serge frocks. Separate Skirts Separate skirts of soft cloth are very wide, in fact they could scarcely be much wider for actual comfort, and they are plaited. The sheer ones are over taffeta foundations; those for street wear are not stitched on the plats, but they are pressed into shape. This is more stylish than practical, for pressed plats soon lose shape, but that is the style at any rate. Skirts made of serge are smart and hold their shapes well. They show some good patterns with panels at the front and back, though many new models are merely klitted all around. THE GAZETTE from gown or coat. There is nothing smarter than its trimming of quilts, and nothing that will stand wear so well. The turban is just as pretty when finished with a group of wings at the left side, and an ornament placed to hold the drapery at the right. Fig. 2 shows a model covered with blue kid piped with white and trimmed with a pair of large white wings. The bow at the front is made of the leather so that the entire hat is of this material. The same model is very pretty with the hat of moire or corded silk, and the trimming of velvet or kid. It has already proved popular made of black moire, faced with white and having a band of white kid about the crown finished with a flat bow of the same at the left side. This model is very elegant with broad black velvet ribbon used for the front bow, mounted with wings in white or black (or both.) Silk-covered hats hold the center of the stage, and those of moire and corded silk most popular. One of them is shown in Fig. 3. They are to be found in all sorts of colors and color combinations, but black and white in this hat has outdistanced all others in the race for popularity. The model shown is of white moire faced with black. Its trimming is a triple ruche of box-plated maline about the crown and upper brim, and a crushed tie of velvet finished with a knot at the side. Such a model is the best of between season's millinery, and as near to all-the-year-round wear as can be found. GATHERED FRILLS OF LACE Useful In Arranging the Fullness on Corset Covers Used with Thin Waists. A girl who is a little inclined to be thin will often find it hard to make the fullness in the front of her summer waistls sit just as she would like to have it. These thin waistls cannot, of course, be kept in the proper lines all the time, as thicker ones with bones can, and they need adjusting when they are put on. A great help in arranging the fullness is to have little gathered frills of lace or embroidery on the corset covers to be used with thin waistls. These frills are also most useful with all lingerie gowns. Many of the most beautiful of these gowns have fronts that are largely made of very thin lace insertions, and they need something to hold them out. Besides, the effect of these little ruffles is much better through the transparent lace and lawn than when the buttons of a corset cover can be seen. The frills should not be sewed to the corset cover, but to a separate piece of muslin, which must be arranged to fasten on the corset cover with tiny buttons, or can be fastened with the very small safety pins under the upper ruffle. A piece of muslin or lawn must be used large enough to cover the front of the corset cover from near the top to below the bust line. On this are sewed two or three ruffles—the number depends on the height of the wearer and the width of the lace used—made of a lace strong enough to stand considerable washing, or of embroidery. High-Waisted Skirt. There is a line in gowns that threatens to keep its popularity. This is the one that brings the skirt material up to a sharp point at the bust in front and between the shoulder blades at back. Not even the woman who is having her best frock fashioned in this manner admits that the upreaching point is a pretty one. The human figure seems to demand points and curves that go downward, but in the turnabout-face of the universe of clothes in the twentieth century one is thankful to escape with merely a perverted point. Change In Coiffure. The entire change in the coiffure, the low head dress, with the absence of rats or pads of any kind in the front of the hair, has completely altered the look of the fall hat. The heads of all the hats are enormous, and would slip down over the face if they were not re-enforced with halos, or lids, which permit them to rest on the crown of the head. The turban and large cavailer shapes are most prominent among the coming fashions, and velvet, plush and fur, with the inevitable and magnificent algrette, are especially in evidence. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1909. INGENIOUS IS THIS PLAN!! INGENIOUS IS THIS PLAN!! TO REDUCE THE SOUTH'S CON GRESS REPRESENTATION BE CAUSE OF MANY STATES' DISFRANCHISEMENTI How Vital Matter is Evaded, Dodged and Finally Ignored by Those in Power at Washington—A Veteran of the War of the Rebellion Writes. Editor Gazette, Dear Sr:—How hard it is to move great parties, or for great parties to move themselves. The Republican party for three national campaigns has proposed to scale down or reduce southern representation in the congress in accordance with the fourteenth amendment to the constitution because of disfranchised voters in southern states. All these years the Republican party has had the requisite majority to compel the compliance with the constitution. All these years it not only falls but refuses to do it. The promise to do it must be inserted in the national platform, however, to hold voters in the ranks who would otherwise be the leaders, sub rosa, "let us hold these old voters a little longer till a new generation of voters come on who are ignorant of the importance of the measure—then we can ignore it entirely. Let us spring the tariff issue, about which question voters have as many different notions as there are letters in our alphabet, and many have questions to whatever. This will draw attention away from the disfranchisement issue." All this time the disfranchising states are working solidly to clinch their purpose. In the minds of many the purpose is already clinched. They point out the difficulty of enforcing the constitution without themselves wielding it. They point out that tributes are already in congress, and in accordance with an act of congress fixing the number of representatives for each state. Their congressional districts were mapped out in the states in pursuance of said act of congress, and they throw it in reducing their representation? We can't redistrict the state, for that is the mission of the state alone. They forget that some of the states, perhaps all, disfranchised their voters after they had been awarded the full representation in congress. When should the reduction of representation be mediated after disfranchisement? Was the fourteenth amendment a dead letter from the start? The "can't do its" say that congress can r.duce only the basis of representation; that the representation itself is an accomplished fact. It is clear that the death toll is more for reducing the basis while representation remains? Out on such bosh. What is the difference between the basis of representation and representation itself? Only the difference between tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Strike at representation and tweedle dum. Cut down representation at the first meeting of congress after disfranchisement takes place. But say they can't do it; it requires an act of congress to reduce representation, and the president might veto it. This is not necessarily true. The constitution provides that congress shall have power to pass laws to enforce the constitution. It is not mandatory. Another provision of the constitution that provides for the "shall be the sole judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, without the concurrence of the other house or the president. The house may expel a member for any cause it chooses. What it can do with a whole member it may do with any fraction of a member. Alabama by population was entitled to vote in each of the elections of 1900; but because of disfranchising voters it is entitled to but five, according to Gen. Keifer's bill of three years ago. But the nine members are in the house. What are we to do about it? Why it is as simple as falling on smooth ice. Let Alabama's nine members still occupy their seats in the house, but allow each of five-ninths of a vote in the deliberations. Allow each of the nine members to sit on a mileage. Allow each only five-ninths of the salary of a full member. Let the house resolve, as it has a right to, that a representation from Alabama lacks four-ninths of being fully qualified to sit as a member. If Alabama further disfranchises citizens of the United States who are also citizens of her territory let her have a still smaller fraction of a member. Let her go further, because the president but the equal of one full member. Let this dose be given to every disfranchising state. If the constitution is to continue to be so openly violated and defied as it has been for so long a time, let us repeal the defied provisions. The Republican party should enforce the constitution, or move at once for the repeal of objectionable sections. JOHN T. CAMPBELL. Lafayette, Ind. ALL WERE AGAINST SLAVERY. The Covenant That Was Made by the Family of the Martyr, John Brown, the Abolitionist. A real contribution to the civil war history of this nation appears in the American Magazine, in a remarkable interview with the son of John Brown, the interviewer, Miss Eleanor Atkinson, reports John Brown, Jr., as saying: "It was in 1838, I think, that he revealed his purpose to his family. I was only 17 at that time, Jason 15 and Owen 14, Frederick, who fell at Ossatawatomie, was nine, and Ruth, whose husband, Henry Thompson, died at Harper's Perry, was eight, Watson who fell at the Ferry was a baby of three. Oliver, who gave his life there for father also, was not born until 1839. My young stepmother was THE NEGRO AS A MONKEY What is It That Inspires the Average Young Negro to Do the Monkey Act in Public Places for the Benefit of Whites? Saturday afternoon, while at Washington Post, I wandered over where two colored teams were playing a game of ball, namely, the Emergencies, and evidently a picked nine. At any rate, I was interested in the game, as the contention on both sides seemed at fever heat, till the last part of the game, when several members of the picked nine seemed likely for the amusement of the white spectators, who were largely in the majority, and who laughed and applauded the monkey acts of these young men, whose deportment ought to have been far above any of those for whom they were playing monkey. there's anything under the sun that they can't see, and it is to see a Negro play monkey for a white man or woman. If the Negroes' deportment in the parks are anything like what I saw Saturday afternoon, I would advocate not only separate tennis courts, but the building of a fence around any section allotted to Negroes, in order that their neighbors would feel a crowd of whites. The average white man who attends colored affairs goes with the expectation of seeing just what I saw Saturday. The real amusement can be gotten out of any game without showing the slightest indication of doing the monkey act. Our deportment is going to be a factor to wards retaining high-class wears, we wards in high-class human monkeys do not applaud the human monkeys. It's the class that is making a fight against us every day.—Chicago Defender. WE NEED A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE! It is really encouraging to see how generally it is recognized as a racial DUTY, that we all vote for Walter L. Brown for Justice of the Peace, the best position that any party, locally, has nominated an Afro-American for in the last twenty-five years or more. The fact that he is on the Democratic ticket means absolutely nothing to the intelligent, loyal and self-respecting member of the race, a voter. The fact that he is an Afro-American, competent, deserving, and that we need particularly a man of the race in that position in this community where the average white republican or democratic city Justice of the Peace has not always done the right thing by a good deal in civil rights' cases as well as others in which our people were greatly concerned, is all-sufficient. Show your manhood, and self-respect and loyalty by coming out "flat-footed" for Walter L. Brown, for Justice of the Peace. That is what The GAZETTE has done and is continuing to do and proposes to keep on doing until the close of election day in November. Get busy, keep busy and will succeed. Those of the race in this city need an Afro-American Justice of the Peace many times more than any man could possibly need the position. That is the point. SEE! WHY PEARY TOOK HENSON. The Explorer Gives Three Reasons for Taking Him in the Final Dash As Usual. Bar Harbor, Me.—The question of why Peyre selected Matthew Henson, his Afro-American lieutenant, to accompany him as usual on his final dash to the North Pole instead of taking the scientists of the party, was worked here by the explorer as follows: "There are three reasons why I took Henson on the last march. The first was because of his loyalty in 1894 when all the party turned back except Henson and I, the captain, handle Eskimo dogs and sledge as well as any Eskimo, and better than any white man that I ever had on an expedition going north. The third was that I was the only white man who could afford to walk and take supplies from a single sledge on the last dash. Cap. Bentley never had the idea that he was going to the pole so far as I know." Rev. W. C. Goens Dead. Bellefontaine, O.—Rev. W. C. Goens, a member of the North Ohio conference of the A. M.

Foraker, as the counsel of a Cincinnati traction company, says he will test the constitutionality of the corporate dividend tax before the supreme court. This will be good news for the enemies of this inquisition. Mr. Foraker is a constitutionalist and a liability, and it is more fortunate for the country that he could not have been back in the United States senate when Mr. Taft had induced this rider to be put on the tariff bill. That he would have opposed it more vigorously and effectively than it was opposed by any member of the senate is probable. His would have senate action against the original obnoxiousness of the radical Roosevelt railway rate bill will not be forgotten soon, either by the public or the ex-president.

REYNOLD E BLIGHT Tells His Congregation That The Negro Should not Be Discriminated Against—Lauds Members of Race and Tells Some Pertinent Truths. Los Angeles, Cal.—Rev. Reynold E. Blight, minister of the Fellowship church, recently made a strong address at Blanchard hall, this city, on Justice to the minister of the Dugro decision, and declared that the success of this country depends on the development of sympathy and co-operation between the races. The address in part: "Mushy sentimentality and quixotism will never solve the race problem. We should the minister of the social equality. It is a question of justice. We shall have riots, lynchings, turmil and conflict just so long as we refuse the Negro his rights. "The Negro has a right to be treated as a man, not as a beast, an alien, be a bachelor. The Washington sage the constitution as inherent in citizenship are properly his. The first step toward freedom is the recognition of manhood. Say what you will against the Negro, a race that can produce such characters as Toussaint L'Overture, Frederick Douglas, Prof. William T. Washington is worthy of the largest consideration from the proudest race on earth. "Justice demands that the Negro shall not be discriminated against because of color. The test may be character, efficiency, intellect, but the right-thinking man is never produced with advantages of education that his mind may be enlightened, his brain developed and his hand made skillful. He must be equipped for the battle of life, and he is well within his rights when he demands a chance to work, and make good. Before the law he must be a lawyer, a judge, a former white man, and may the time soon come when a decision such as was recently handed down by a New York judge giving a Negro smaller damages than he shall have accorded a white man, shall be condemned and executed, as unfair, illegal and unAmerican. The unfair demands that the Negro's political privilege shall not be abridged. If the franchise must be limited, let it be on educational or property grounds, and apply to black and white alike, but disfranchisement for reasons of color is repugnant to the spirit of American institutions. Democracy drawing the color line is a great achievement. "In the highest sense justice means the development of sympathy and cooperation between the races. In the upbuilding of the mighty American commonwealth each race has a duty to perform, and they must work together for the elimination of all causes of contention and suspicion of all advantages that promote harmony, prosperity and the happiness of all." It Is a Sname! We cannot understand why some men who edit newspapers, because a man does not jibe with his opinions as to the procedure of an organization or the conduct of it, should be termed grafter, dishonest or treacherous to the organization. The editor of this paper was opposed to the continuing of the name of the man to the organization by that name, and used every effort to bring about a change of name, believing that the Elks' organization is responsible for the law that recently went into effect in Michigan and other states making it a misdemeanor to wear an Elks' pin or emblem, or any insignia that you are not a member thereof. With such titles placed on a man you have sworn to fraternize with, you also have the merger and embarrasses its members. Nobody desires to be a member of an organization that defames its own members. And no excuse or apology can amend the once defamatory remarks. Only time will tell, as to who is right, and that time is only a few months off. It is a shame to continue such abuse. As to ourselves, we do not care, but we should be the person must be some who believe the name should be changed. Buffalo (N. Y.) Gazetteer and Gude. J. A. Ross, an Elk and Menelik Editor.

Chicago, Ill.—Church leaders who take advantage of their position to violate the law and oppress others were denounced in unmistakable terms recently at the opening sessions of the biennial conference of the American Unitarian society, at the Fine Artuilding. Such church men were accused of being "most under the all religion" and the "humiliation of all religion." This subject was taken first by the Rev. W. W. Peck (white), who presided at the first day's sessions, and was followed later by Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland, O., October 9, 1909. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and it 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 "truckling," subservient Negro who poses as a "leader," even as a local leader, of our people, must be sent to the scrap-heap, and soon. The vital interests of the race demand this. They can do us more harm in a day (and often do) than a hundred good men can undo in a month; yes, sometimes in a year. Isn't it "painful" to see the N. Y. Age struggling from week to week in a vain and sickening effort to apologize for Taft's "new southern policy" and the rot anent it delivered out to the south by his Mississippi cabinet member, Secretary of War "Jake" Dickinson, who "loves" a Negro about as much as a rattlesnake loves a rabbit? Such a so-called "race paper" ought to be sent to the scrap-heap, and soon, too. As a potent factor of the Republican party let us continue to insist that it do its full duty toward us, in municipality, state and nation, even if we have to strike back and fight it bitterly in so doing. But always remain within its ranks while fighting. That is the best way, the best plan—the one The Gazette believes in and has followed fairly successfully for many years. The vital interests of the race demand this. The Taft administration continues to kick Afro-Americans out of federal office in the south, and to refuse to appoint even one to a job in the south or the north. Well, we told you so all last year and particularly last fall before election day. There was no reason why all of our people should not have known this because Mr. Taft promised it in many of his public speeches. Still many would not believe him. We did. The Gazette believes in the principles of the grand old Republican party as enunciated in the days of such leaders as Foraker, Summer, Tourgee, Douglass, Langston and their kind. O, how the party, and especially our people, needs such men at the helm to-day! One has only to listen to Taft, "Jake" Dickinson," the ex-rebel, and those at the head of the party to-day, to fully realize how very far "the old ship has drifted from her original moorings." Citizens' rights have been lost sight of entirely. Mr. John T. Campbell, elsewhere in The Gazette to-day, offers an ingenious plan for getting around the argument that southern congressional representation cannot well be reduced to accord with population as provided by the law and the constitution. Where voters have been disfranchised he would have their number deducted from the number made the basis of apportionment, as specified in the fourteenth amendment; and if this reduces the number of congressmen in that state, say from ten to seven, he would not turn out three of the ten now already serving, but would have the vote of each counted as only such fractional part of a vote as would make in all seven votes. Mr. Campbell's scheme is simple and is respectfully commended to the attention of timid congressmen who have many reasons sufficient to themselves for not doing the thing they ought to do. BOOKER'S "CHICKENS," CON- TINUED. The Cleveland Gazette, Hon. Harry C. Smith editor, has a bristling editorial on Booker T. Washington in its issue of September 25, 1999. The Buchtel hotel of Akron, O., refused Booker T. Washington accommodation and The Gazette reasons that it is in Washington's case, "chickens coming home to roost." In Washington's lectures he advised Negroes not to go into public places "where they were not wanted," and on that account the college president, John Cleveland (and Ohio), and the Negro, of course, was proscribed. So much for Booker T. Washington.—St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. Our esteemed contemporary falls to call attention to the phase of that Booker Washington-Akron experience that "grinds" the average loyal Afro-American, here in Ohio and especially here in Cleveland, far more than the fact that the most disagreeable affair is the direct outcome of that pernicious "doctrine of surrender" preached by Mr. Washington in his Ohio lectures and talks. When he failed to accept Senator Dick's gracious invitation to become his "house-guest." in the face of that contemptable hotelkeeper's mistreatment, he did the race throughout this country and especially here in Ohio, positive injury. There was an opportunity for the man who would be our "national leader" to do something that would have had tremendous influence upon those of the people of this country who need most just such an object lesson as would have been therein presented. It would have done all of the white people in America ETAOIN SHRDLU HRDR only in a much different way. O, how our people do need some man of large reputation like Dr. Washington who would rise to the full stature of American citizenship upon such occasions! Had he shown true manhood and race-leadership by accepting the splendid opportunity presented by Senator Dick, he would not only have "pulled the teeth" of that shameful refusal at the Buchtel Hotel, before the eyes and in the minds of the entire country but he would also have dealt color-lines throughout the land a vital blow, and given encouragement and even inspiration to our young, particularly, and the old, to "buckle on the armor" tighter in a renewal and revival of the dormant struggle to retain citizen rights left and to regain those lost. If he is not in a position to do this, then he should cease the effort he and his friends, black and white, are making to foist him upon the race as its "national leader." We need as leaders only men and women who are fearless, manly and womanly AT ALL TIMES, as well as capable from an intellectual and other necessary view points. Ament this miserable Akron experience, the Durham (N. C.) Reformer says: "Dr. Washington while in Akron, O., was refused quarters at a leading hotel in the city, and the pittality of Senator Dick whose home is in the city. It is so remarkable that a white ministrel show crew got the courtesies of the same hostelry the week before. Moral if you desire hotel accommodation better be a circling world character and be otherwise." Cole & Johnson's "Red Moon Company" is not a "minstrel show" but a collection of Afro-American performers who would not have been afraid and would not have failed to accept a U. S. Senator's hospitality, so graciously extended, when turned from a hotel in his home city. Revise your "moral," confere. We can do it, but would spare Dr. Washington's feeling as the comparison necessary to be made would not improve the very uncomfortable position in the matter he now occupies in the minds of all many Afro-Americans and the same class of whites who are not literally saturated with prejudice. One "leading world character," we know had better stop "posing" as "the father of his race," and in so doing do it the greatest good. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

Journal, Chicago American and San Francisco Examiner editorial takes the broad and very correct ground that the Afro-American's "right in America is as good as any man's" and if anything, "a little better because he was brought here against his will." Good! Continuing it says: * * * If any one wants to make himself useful, if he wants to solve the race problem, let him do two things: First, treat the Negroes with absolute justice; see that they have all their rights without allowing them to infringe upon the rights of others. Second, make up for the injustice and brutality of the past days of slavery with kindness and opportunity NOW. Infinite justice and wisdom created the colored man as well as the white man. Colored men and white men were put on this earth together, each to do his work. The colored man has lived at a great disadvantage through the centuries. * * * * * * If infinite wisdom decided that white men and colored men could live on this little planet together, it is also certain that they can live here in the United States together, and settle their questions here. The colored men will not send the whites out of the country and the whites won't send the colored men out. They will live and work side by side, each respecting the rights of the other. The white man who wants to keep separate from the colored man will do so; the colored man who wants to keep separate from the white man should be allowed to do so. They must respect each other; each must remember that the other is a citizen, with all the rights of citizenship, including the right of full protection in his property and in every court. "SOME COOL AND TIMELY FACTS." Under the above heading, the Chicago Inter-Ocean of a recent date, published the following editorial which was made the principle leader for that issue of that paper. We comment it in the strongest possible manner especially at this time because it comes as a ray of sunshine on the darkest of days. For recent years have become both the northern press, pulpit and people; "NOT A NOTABLE SUCCESS." Under the above caption, the Chicago Abendpost (German) of the 24th ult, has this to say editorially (translation by "Jacob Egberer"); "With the most friendly intention imaginable, the secretary of war has done Mr. Taft immeasurable damage. To prove to the 'south' that it has good reason to expect the most loving treatment at the hands of his administration, the general (Diekinson) asserted 'that the people of the north had not only forgotten the slaveholders' rebellion and forgiven them for it, but that they even admired the patriotism and the principles of the heroes' of secession! So much honey may taste good to the south, but most assuredly there are rather many people in the north, who will find it, to say the least, rather unbecoming in the secretary of war of the United States that he publically boasts of his admiration for men, who had taken the utmost pains to destroy these same U. S. and to perpetuate the accursed system of slavery for all time to come. In order to change the obligations that the president will be sharply rebuked, for having entrusted a man with such principles with the administration of the American army affairs. Instead of winning 'the west' and reconciling 'the south', Mr. Taft may finally lose 'the north!" AMEN! Lima, O.—Fire of mysterious origin completely destroyed the large department store of Bonneywitz & Co. and the Jones & Tudor hardware store at Van Wert.

NEW YORK YOUTH FOOLS FARMER UP-STATE AGRICULTURIST TRIES TO MAIL HIS LETTER IN FIRE ALARM BOX. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDS When the Fire Fighters Find No Blaze the Farmer Is Arrested, But Is Later Released Owing to His Innocence. New York City.-Up on the rural delivery routes of Jefferson county Uncle Sam has a simple plan of getting the mail into his sack and there is not so much all fired nonsense connected with mailing a letter to a friend or, may be, relative. On the morning of October 6 Archibald Wagoner, a well-to-do farmer whose nearest postoffice address is Adams, N. Y., lived so fast in one minute that he packed up his lunch basket and took the first train back home. Farmer Wagoner got a scare and was grabbed by a real police sergeant and a policeman and held in custody until Battalion Chief Turpenny took pity on the old man's plight and requested the policeman to let him go. Wagoner has been down here quite a spell with his wife doing the celebration, and in the morning when he came out of the corner drug store at Seventh avenue and Twenty-second street and asked a nice looking youth who was passing where he could mall his letter to the folks up home, the young man obliquely pointed to a fire box on the corner and told him to get his letter dpossessed there. And Wagoner did. In 60 seconds according to the official's records of the fire department, three fire engines, two hook and ladder trucks, one fire patrol and two real policemen were at the fire box and looking for fire and smoke. There wasn't any smoke that one could see or smell. But old Wagoner stood there, something after the fashion of the boy on the burning deck whence all but him had fled. Only in this instance Mrs. Wagoner stood by Wagoner and clung to his coattails. It all happened so quickly that the rural pair from Jefferson county could not catch their breath. Wagoner was nabbed quickly when it developed that it was he who had turned in a false alarm. DYNAMITE WRECKS BRIDGE Buildings Demolished and Windows Within a Radius of a Block Shattered by Concussion. Buffalo, N. Y.—A large section of the viaduct over the New York Central tracks near the corner of Elk and Michigan streets was wrecked by dynamite. Hundreds of windows within a radius of a block were shattered by the concussion. The viaduct which was nearing completion was being constructed by S. J. McCain Co. of Mercer, Pa. The building of a factory was badly broken by flying pieces of steel and a small frame building used as an office by the Eastern Oil Co. was demolished. So far as is known no lives were lost. The entire front was blown in the saloon of the Joseph McMahon. At the home of Jeremiah Gorman, former alderman, a jagged piece of steel, three inches long and half an inch thick passed through the house. It came from a pillar of the vaduct underneath which the dynamite had been placed. Another piece of steel also pierced Gorman's house near the roof. The family was panic stricken and every member of it was thrown out of bed. The steel pillar under which the charge was placed was twisted and shattered and a section of the superstructure about 20 feet square is so badly damaged that it must be replaced. The damage is estimated at about $3,500. All of the dynamite outrages have been directed against jobs on which non-union men were employed. TWO MEN LOCKED IN ICE BOX Employees of Meat Plant Are Nearly Frozen When Companion Shuts Them In. Trenton, N. J.—James Hickey and Thomas Cleary narrowly escaped being frozen to death in a large refrigerator in a meat house here, where they are employed. The two entered the cold room about 6 o'clock at night. Another employee, who was unaware of their presence, locked the door. Both realized their predicament and knew it was unlikely anyone would be in the building until the following morning. They made as much noise as possible, but after two hours they began to grow weak from the intense cold. The chance return of young Hickey's father, manager of the plant, was all that saved the youths. Death of Organist and Composer Death or Organist and Composer. West Orange, N.

C.—Commander Peary has formally notified the National Geographic society of his acceptance of its offer to examine and pass upon the records of his Polar explorations. FAVORITE DISH OF MEXICO Enchiladas Not Very Well Known in the North-Directions for Its Preparation. Boll six large red chilis until tender, pour off water, take out core and seeds, and rub through colander with spoon, adding a little water from time to time until separated from skins. Heat a large tablespoonful of lard in granite pan until smoking hot; then throw in two sections of garlic (which are to be taken out when chili is done) and pour in the chili, adding a teaspoon of Spanish sage rubbed until fine. Salt and pepper to taste and let cook slowly; chop two onions very fine, season, sprinkle with Spanish sage and let stand in vinegar. Grate a quarter pound Edam cheese. Now make the tortillas as follows: Work a large cold boiled potato, a large teaspoon of lard and a teaspoon of salt into about a pint of flour, add water until dough is consistency of light bread dough and knead thoroughly. Divide into balls about size of an egg and roll very thin; spread one at a time on a smooth hot stove. They should brown quickly and be turned over and over until light brown and placed between a cloth. All being ready, dip a tortilla in chili, spread on a plate, spread a teaspoon each of onion and cheese, add two olives and a tablespoon of chili and roll the tortilla. As each tortilla is made place on platter and sprinkle onion and cheese. After all are made pour on remaining chili and garnish with olives and cheese. GOOD LEMON SOUEEZER. Stationary lemon squeezer. The cut lemon is placed over the glass grooves and the crank is turned to exert a pressure. Fried Cucumbers For this dish select cucumbers a little older than those to be eaten raw, but do not use any that have hard seeds. Cut, off the ends to remove the bitter, then peel lengthwise. Slice across in one-third inch slices if large, lengthwise if small. Dip first in egg, then in fine bread crumbs. Set in a cool place for one hour. Have ready some lard heated until it just begins to smoke; it is now at the boiling point. (Test by dropping in a bit of the soft part of bread; if the lard is ready the bread will begin to color immediately. If the lard smokes too long it will burn.) When certain the lard is boiling lay in the slices of cucumber. In about three minutes turn them. In about ten minutes more, when tender, remove to a brown paper in the mouth of the platter. When dry, serve on an open platter. Baked Potatoes. Do not have the oven too hot for baked potatoes. If done in a moderate oven for a longer time they will cook more evenly. Pricking the small/ends of a potato with a fork before putting in the oven will keep the skin from bursting. A German cook noted for her baked potatoes, washes them carefully, dries them, and then rubs the skin with a grasped paper and bakes in the usual way. A pleasant variety of baked potato is to peel them, rub them over with a grasped paper dipped in butter and bake in the ordinary way. Uncooked Chili Sauce. One-half peek of tomatoes chopped, three skals celery cut fine, one cupful of grated horseradish, two red peppers and one cupful of onions chopped fine, one small cupful of salt, one cupful each of black and white mustard seed, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one teaspoonful cloves, one teaspoonful of mace, one cupful of white sugar and one quart of elder vinegar. Stir all well together, do not cook and keep sealed tight. The feature of this sauce is that it retains the flavor of the fresh tomatoes, and if ripe and sound tomatoes are used it will keep as well as the coked chill sauce. Macaroni with Meat. Chop about a pound of meat from the round, shoulder or neck with meat chopper, bown in a little fat, season and cover with boiling water and cook about an hour. Break a quarter package of macaroni into inch pieces and boil rapidly in plenty of salted water from 20 to 30 minutes. When done drain off the water and add the meat with its juices and enough milk to a little more than cover. Thicken with heaping tablespoonful of flour and boil about a minute. Good Quick Bread To a cake of compressed yeast dissolved in two cups of milk or water (or both in any proportion) and one tablespoon $ ^{c} $ olive oil, add enough flour sifted with a small tablespoon of salt and two or three of sugar, to make a stiff dough. Put in a clean dish and rub a little lard over the top. Set aside for two or three hours, then mold in loaves and let rise an hour more. Bake in slow oven about one hour. This makes four loaves. Bed Currant Pic This is fine. Hope you will all like it. Pick over and wash about one pint of berries. Put on the stove with a little water, not quite enough to cover. Stew until very clear, then add a heaping cup of sugar and cook until it thickens like stewed cranberries. Let cool, add teaspoon of vanilla. Bake with strips of crusts across like checkerboard.

Of the 2 other officers of the line now holding commissions, one, Major Young, is a graduate of West Point, and the other, Lieut. Green, was commissioned after Lieut. Davis, who was appointed a second lieutenant for passing a rigid examination in February, 1901. In March, 1905, he was promoted to first lieutenant. For the past year or more Lieut. Davis has been detailed as professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce university. He was relieved from this post on September 1, 1905, and was sent to report for duty at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., where he will be attached to the famous Tenth cavalry. Lieut. Davis was given a reception by the local company of the Ninth battalion, O. N. G., Saturday morning. He is accompanied by his wife. Previous to his being commissioned, he untered in the Philippines on the Island of Samar. A FEW GRINS AND LAUGHS. What is wanted, Mr. Burbank, is a melon wall street can't cut—Houston Chronicle.

A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.'" "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthy drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided improvement in my condition and kept growing better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nerve-destroying regular coffee for any money." Read the famous little "Health Classic," "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter?

Miss Leslie Delmar, presiding over the breakfast table, regarded her brother with an air of inquisitive shrewdness. He returned the stare with a smile in which there lurked a faint tinge of annoyance, but said nothing. Miss Delmar frowned. "You can't deny that you have something on your mind that is troubling you, John," she finally remarked. "I know you too well to be deceived." This time Delmar did not smile. "As a general thing, a lawyer with a fairly good practice finds plenty of cause for serious thought," he returned, shortly. "I wish you would not worry yourself drawing inferences as to the state of my mind." "You're not thinking about legal matters," responded his sister, promptly, in no wise abashed by the tartness of the retort. "The truth of the matter is that you are head over heels in love with that Stanton girl, and have been for the past three months. You have paid her more attention than is becoming to any professional man with a mere stenographer. It's the most absurd thing I ever heard of. Why, the girl isn't very pretty, hasn't got a cent of money outside of the salary you pay her, and goodness knows what her family is like." Delmar colored but made no reply. In his heart he was conscious that his sister spoke the truth, yet this sudden exposure of his secret startled and annoyed him. Irene Stanton had been in his employ for about a year. RAM. WA "You Could Scarcely Have Come at a Better Moment." She was just 19 when his eyes first rested upon her delicate, flower-like beauty and the impression she made upon him had grown stronger with each succeeding day. He had made no open confession of his love for the girl, indeed there were times when he fought against it. He had reached his thirty-fifth year without experiencing the effects of a really strong affection for one of the opposite sex, and the fascination this young girl exercised over him seemed strange and unaccountable. One thing was certain. Now that his sister's sharp eyes had penetrated his secret, there would be no rest for him until a decision was reached one way or the other. That she did not approve of his choice made no difference. Miss Leslie Delmar had reigned as mistress of her bachelor brother's house so long that she had almost come to look upon her position as permanent, but this was a case in which he had quietly resolved to brook no interference. During his journey to the office he wondered restlessly how he should lead up to the point which interested him, the winning of the girl with whom he felt his future happiness rested. Never had a legal problem, no matter how tangled, presented such difficulties to his mind as the unraveling of this dubious love knot. And when he came face to face with the subject of his thoughts the difficulty seemed greater than ever. She had never looked prettier than on that particular morning and the accents of her sweet, low voice found a responsive echo in his heart. Somehow her unconsciousness of the emotion she excited in him made her seem all the more unapproachable. Like many another man before him, John Delmar realized that the time was close at hand when he must decide his fate by a single question, and the thought dawned him. All through that foremon he transacted business like a man in a dream. His eyes strayed continually to the slim, neatly clad figure of the girl bending over her machine. It was almost a relief when 12 o'clock arrived and Irene went to luncheon, leaving him to his own reflections and the contem- Treasure of Zuyder Zee How Gold and Silver Lost in Shipwreck Will Be Searched For. The Dutch await with curiosity the results of a work undertaken in the Zuyder Zee. On October 9, 1789, the English ship of war Lutin sank in Dutch waters, carrying with it to the bottom thirty millions of gold and silver in bars that the British cabinet was sending to Hamburg to help at a financial crisis in the Hanse towns. The cargo, insured for nearly twenty-five millions, was entirely lost. The Dutch government, urged by France, tried to recover the wreck, but a violent storm covered the ship with such a thickness of sand that it had to be given up. After the restoration of European peace the king of Holland abandoned his rights to his English colleague, ceded them to the company of Lloyd. The company made a new attempt THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1909. plation of Tommy, the office boy. The youth in question was an especial pet of frencs, and an irresistible impulse, which Delmar felt to be exceedingly foolish, impelled his employer to ask him an entirely unnecessary question. "You like Miss Stanton, don't you, Tommy?" he queried. "Bet yer life," responded the boy, quickly. "She was awful good to us when me mudder was sick." He paused as though summoning up courage to make a request, and added, improngly: "Yousein't gin't te' get her leave us, air yer, Mr. Delmar!" Delmar started as though stung. "Leave us?" he repeated; "why, no, no, what makes you ask such a question, Tommy?" "Mebbe I hadn't ought to have said nothin' about it," returned the boy, as though he feared lest he might cause trouble for his favorite. "All I knows is that her aunt dismorn to do office early dis mornin', before youse come down, and showed her a telegraft that come from her uncle in Buffalo, who wants 'em both to come there an 'live." "And what did Miss Stanton say?" inquired Delmar, excited. "She kind of sighed, an' said: 'I'spose it's for de bes,'" returned the urchin. "Seemed to me she she wasn't over glad to t'ink of leavin', dough, cause de old lady ses: 'I'tought youse didn't like Chicago, and 'ud be glad to get away', an' Miss Stanton ses: 'Well, I usen't to like it, but I feels different now.'" Delmar tossed the boy a quarter. "Thank you for your information, Tommy," he said. "Miss Stanton won't leave if I can help it, she's too good to lose. Now, clear off and amuse yourself. You can have a half holiday, as I don't need your services this afternoon." Tommy lost no time in availing himself of his freedom, and Delmar, left alone, pondered gravely over the new turn affairs had taken. When Irene returned, he fancied that a look of unusual sadness lingered in the depths of her dark eyes. Could it be that Tommy had guessed correctly and that she was sorry to go away? And could it be possible that he was even partially the cause of her regret? She had scarcely seated herself at her desk, when he crossed to her side and said, softly: "Don't mind those letters now, Irene, I want to ask you something important. Tommy tells me," he said, "that your aunt contemplates taking you to Buffalo." "Yes," replied the girl, rather listlessly. "My uncle is anxious that we should go there and live with him." "And you are glad to go?" She shook her head, but made no answer. Delmar, watching her intently, saw that her eyes were brimful of tears. He bent down and his arm stole around her neck, while he whispered: "You must not go, Irene, I will not let you." His lips touched hers, and she did not repulse him, but a footstep on the threshold of the door caused Delmar to step back swiftly, just as the tall, dignified form of his sister swept into the room. The confusion of the lovers was evident, and Miss Leslie smiled maliciously as she gazed first at the shy, conscious face of the girl and then at her brother. "It seems that I have interrupted an interesting act of a love drama," she said, with chilling emphasis. Delmar recovered his self possession quickly. "You needn't apologize, Leslie," he said, coolly; "you could scarcely have come at a better moment. Miss Stanton has just honored me by promising to become my wife." He bent down and kissed Irene fondly as he finished speaking, and Miss Leslie bowed to the inevitable. "I congratulate you both," she said, stiffly, with the resigned air of one who accepts defeat. Cider to Cure Thyphoid. A French chemist has recently proclaimed that cider is an antidote for thyphoid fever. The acid in it is the agent, as it destroys the germs. Cider in Europe is more generally used as a beverage than in this country. Germans appear to prefer cider after it becomes sour, but Americans usually prefer it while it is sweet. He Has a Private Railroad. On the 55,000 acres (three whole townships) that William Rockefeller owns in the Adirondacks he has a private railroad station.

The company of Lloyd has entered into a contract with another society which undertakes the work with the help of a new apparatus invented by an engineer named Lake. This apparatus is composed of a floating bridge, at the keel of which are fixed the instruments for diving. They consist of a number of pipes which can pump up in 24 hours 40,000 tons of sand. At the extremity of these pipes one finds the room of the divers, all built of metal. This chamber rests on indented wheels placed in action by a motor of a particular system, in such a manner that the divers can remove their room like a carriage and roll it at the bottom of the sea, which makes the work easier and quicker.

Always try to have a bank account, no matter how small, for there is more respect for the woman who pays with a check than for one who pays with currency. Be careful about signing checks and even more careful about indorsing checks for other people. Soft Beams.

"Why, mum, last night while I was sleeping a dozen beans fell on me." "Gracious! That was terrible! How did it happen?" "Why, I was sleeping in a flower bed and they were moonbeams." The Boss. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, in the course of a recent anti-suffragette argument in New York, said with a smile: "Too many of my sisters appear to think that the woman should be the head of the house. They would have her dominate over her husband as Mrs. Cudlip was said to dominate over hers. "Mrs. Cudlip—to give you an idea of her perfect domination—said one day to her husband sharply: "Jethro, who was the greatest general in history?"

A big dish of Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and cream or milk is the greatest breakfast in the world for a man who needs vigor and strength for a long day's work. The man that eats Quaker Oats plentifully and often is the man who does good work without excessive fatigue.

Little Willie, suffering from an attack of toothache, had paid his first visit to the dentist, accompanied by his mother. Father, on his return from the office that evening, was naturally much interested. "Didn't it hurt?" asked father. "Sure, it hurt," replied Willie. "Weren't you scared when the dentist put you in that big chair and started all those zizz-zizz-zizz things?" "Oh, not so much." "That was a brave boy. But, surely, you suffered?" "Of course I suffered. But I just kept repeating over and over the golden text we had in Sunday school last Sunday." "The golden text? What was it?" "Why, 'Suffer little children to come unto me,' replied Willie, glibly. "I kept saying that over and over to myself, and the first thing I knew it didn't hurt any more." CHILD ATE CUTIGURA Spread Whole Box of It on Crackers —Not the Least Injury Resulted. Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet. A New York friend of Cuticura writes: "My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the state room and located a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and I don't know what else." No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Cuticura Ointment is absolutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial results can be expected to attend its application to even the tenderest skin or youngest infant. Petter Drug & Chem, Corp.

"We live next door to a family named Feitenour, and the other night while my family was busy reading in the library we heard a racket on the back porch. My son went out to investigate, and on his return my wife, always inquisitive, asked what had caused the noise. "Nothin' in' but a couple of cats,' Jim told her, and then I heard her ask: 'Did you see whose they were?' "Yes; one was ours and the other was Feitenour.'"
