THE WESTERN PRESIDENT Styles in Hats FIG. 1 FIG. 2 FIG. 3 The three hats illustrated here are entirely different from each other. Each one is typical of one of the three distinct classes of millinery—the "dress" hat, the "semi-dress" hat and the "utility" hat. Milliners usually distinguish these classes by the terms—dress hats, trimmed hats and tailored hats. Fig. 1 is an example of the "dress" hat, which we are all prone to call a pattern hat. It is a chamois colored felt trimmed with marabout down and coque feathers; not an extreme example of dainty and fragile millinery, but too light and too elaborate for ordinary wear. The time when one hat had to do service for all occasions, is long past. This hat and others of its class are out of place for general wear. If one can only afford a single hat, she must turn her face resolutely away from this character of millinery. A trimmed hat which will be very generally useful is shown in Fig. 2. It is of black corded silk trimmed with a very large bow made of black taffeta silk, having the ends fringed out. The bow is mounted with a large bunch of black silk violets at one side and the hat is one of those becoming new shapes which turn in the back and are lifted, in a slight angle, from the brow. These silk hats come in all the season's fashionable colors, so that one's choice is not limited in the matter of color. White hats with black facings (and the reverse) are made up with black trimming into models of great distinction. This hat is a good choice for women who do not PRINCESS CUSTOMS This costume is in old rose cashmere; the dress is a semi-fitting Princess, with panel back and front stitched at each edge; two flat pleats extend from the panel each side, and are fixed under a pointed tab of silk; folds of silk are lald under the edge of panel, and partiv fill in the round neck, the over-sleeves being bound with the same. The small yoke is of silk muslin. Materials required: Three yards, 46 inches wide, 3-4 yard silk. Scant Skirts. In spite of the many rumors to the contrary, the newest skirts still give the scant effect about the feet. They are, many of them, especially those having the Byzantine yoke, made quite full above the knees by means of side plats and in other ways, but about the ankles they again become tight fitting. This is done by the use of weights in the hem, and also by the absence of stiff petticoats, oftentimes the soft satin lining of the skirt itself being the only covering below the knees. Home Gowns. The marked departures in home gowns are a short skirt and a collarless and half-decollete neck. The semi-decolletages are not only allowed, but commanded by fashion. If the neck is covered at all by the afternoon dress, it is only by transparent fabrics that never rise above the collar line.—Harper's Bazar. THE GAZETTE go out often and who feel a dressier model unnecessary. It is a beautiful hat for church wear. Worn with bright, dressy gowns, it will serve for a multitude of social occasions. In fact a hat of this character is very generally useful and comes nearer to answering all requirements, than any other sort. In Fig. 3, a tailored hat is shown. The shape is nobby and mannish and is covered with plain taffeta silk shirred onto the frame. This and similar shapes are shown covered with the mohre and corded silks which are found on all kinds of millinery this season. For these hats the trimming is of the very simplest character. It amounts to only a finish of some sort. A bend and flat bow of velvet, kid or ribbon. Sometimes a buckle or other ornament is used. A simple rainproof feather is not out of place, but the best effects are those in which feathers and flowers are conspicuous by their absence. This is the hat for the tailor-made costume for the street and for traveling. In the estimation of many people of excellent taste and judgment, it is the sort of millinery which should be worn at church. It is smart, inconspicuous and well made, like a tailored gown. Those hats that are made of plain silk are easier to keep from dust than the shirred varieties. In passing it should be remembered that hats must be dusted with very soft brushes or wiped off with a scrap of plush or velvet. Nothing is quite so good as a piece of silk plush for keeping millinery clean. RUSSIAN CAFTAN MUCH LIKED Practical Fashion Has Been Eagerly Taken Up and Made a Season's Mode. One of the newest and most practical of fashions that are being adopted is the Russian cattan, a coat-like garment which is similar to that worn by Tolstoy, the great Russian author, in pictures, with which we are familiar. The coat has a round or square neck, a slightly bloused bodice part and a straight bottom edge that ends just above the knees. It is confined at the waist line by a batin belt; or, to make it more realistic, a silk cord. The edges of the coat are bound with satin; for winter garment_bands of fur will be used. The fastening is ornamental or perfectly plain buttons and satin cord or braided buttonholes. This style may be developed to the extreme, but in its simpler form is more dignified. The style promises to be a popular one for smart fall and winter costumes. Frocks of woolen fabric, with blouses of net and silk and a caftan of the material trimmed with satin in a harmonizing tone, or, that is safer yet, black, will be in good taste for the well-dressed woman. New Type of Gown. Pretty semi-evening gowns, cailed abroad casino gowns, are being worn with but slight decolletage and transparent gulps of tulle or mousselette. The materials used on gowns of this type are embroideries, laces or crepe de chines, for satin seems to be somewhat passe. Many of them are trimmed with deep silk linger, and, as the guipme is always collarless, beautiful dog collars of jeweled velvet or jet are worn, so that the gown may be becoming with a hat. Somehow a collarless gown and a picture hat are not always a pretty combination. Tunics. Curiously lovely effects are gained in little informal evening and afternoon gowns by the use of a chiffon draped tunic over a gown of a contrasting shade of satin, with a bit of embroidery on the edge of the tunic. Some striking combinations are nasturtium orange chiffon with touches of gold over gray green satin; dark gray chiffon with silver over light blue, and brilliant currant red chiffon over deep prune color, the embroidery in bronze, gold and deep reds. Correct Veils. Taupe is the leading shade in plain mesh vells, and those made of a wiry thread in the large, hexagonal type, are unusually becoming to the complexion. Another mesh vell, of finer weave, is covered with flat velvety pastilles, square in shape and scattered over the surface at close intervals. SEGREGATION IS NOT WANTED! WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS IN OHIO. RUFUS A. LONGMAN'S LETTER Relative to the Segregation of Dependent Afro-American Children of This State—Splendid Showing of Our Public School Teachers in Cleveland Alone —Important. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 20, 1909. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: I am to deliver an address before the State Conference of Charities, November 5th to 8th, on the subject, "Disposition of Colored, Number of prominent colored people for an expression on this subject. It is my intention to read the letters before the conference. Will you kindly give me your views on the subject? Would you favor the establishment of a state institution for dependent colored children? Would you favor separating the races in institutions having for their instructors teachers on own race? Do you think that the dependent colored children are now properly provided for? If not, what remedy would you suggest? I will appreciate any suggestion you may have to offer on this subject, and I hope that this discussion will be profitable. Yours very truly, R. A. LONGMAN. Cleveland, O., Oct. 21, 1909. Mr. Rubas, A. Longman. No. 312 West Ninth Street. Glencross. Dear Sir, Your letter just received. No separate state institution for Irish, German, Jews, Afro-Americans or other class of Ohio's citizens, should be established or tolerated for a moment, regardless of teachers, employees or others it will give employment to. THE PRINCIPLE is wrong, pernicious and even malicious. For years Cleveland's public schools for children of Ohio have been the reign of亿豪 had from 15 to 20 Afro-American teachers, no two in the same building and rarely ever does one of them have an Afro-American pupil in her room (both high and graded schools) and they teach in buildings having from 15 to 30 teachers, located from the heart of the city to its limits, and are all color free from or trouble of亿豪. This has reference to kind to both teachers and pupils. I have for nearly 30 years opposed in my paper any and all such "separation" because it encourages race prejudice even in children of tender years, and for other equally good reasons. MIX BOTH THE TEACHERS AND PUPILS AND FIELD TEACHERS AND PUPILS BEST SULTS. If dependent "colored" children are not now properly provided for, open all institutions for that purpose to them and place them on a par along that line with all other children. It may make your projected effort unnecessary. If so, so much the better. Color-lines should not be drawn in this state any more than class-lines between its citizens. If Ohio is not the only state where Ohio are similarly placed in this respect, let us get busy and do the proper thing for all without reference to class or color. This is the remedy for such a condition. If it does not exist, then my suggestion in the previous sentence. Segregation invariably doubles the expense as a result of unnecessary class-lines between its citizens. Ohio is not only wrong here in Ohio but most decidedly unnecessary and degrading. Trusting I have answered your questions as best the time at my disposal will permit, and satisfaction to your satisfaction, that I have mastered of the matter my experience, and "long residence in an Afro-American family and environment," permit, I am. Yours respectfully, HARRY C. SMITH. THAT "BROWNSVILLE" COURT Intends Going to Texas Next Month- Some Interesting Facts—"The Black Battalion" Washington, D. C.—After months of tedious work the Brownville court of inquiry has allost completed the first stage of its work, reviewing the testimony. In the second stage, soon to be entered, the court will pass directly on the qualifications for re-enlistment in the army of the non-comissioned officers and the professors. Companies of some whom were said to have been involved in the alleged "shooting up" of Brownville. One hundred and sixty-seven men were discharged "without honor" as a result of the orders given by President Roosevelt and his secretary of war, W. H. Taft, and considerable interest is being manifested that will make an effort to secure re-enlistment. None of them ought to, and doubtless none would do so but for the fact that in many cases it would entail too great a loss of money and valuable privileges. The court has decided to visit Brownville, Tex. late in November to hear any material "facts" bearing on the alleged "shooting up" of that city on the night of August 13, 1915, in the town hall. The "Black Battalion" to prove for the sixth time that they were not engaged in the alleged riot, with a view to their re-enlistment in the army should they desire to take advantage of the offer contained in the act of congress creating the tribunal. To each of the ex-soldiers whose addresses are available, Captain Charles R. Howland, the recorder of the court, has sent a circular letter, asking him if he wishes to be involved in the Twenty-fifth anniversary and whether he has engaged counsel to represent him. The fact is those prejudiced "white" people of Brownsville, Tex., have sworn to a pack of lies two or three times already, have never produced any facts or to be given another opportunity to lie some or re, in the vain effort to convict incest Afro-Americans of a crime, not only did not commit but had ablately no knowledge of. To this day none of the soldiers know anything of who killed a woman and wounded a policeman in the arm. Those "whites" of Brownsville have been shown entirely too much deference already and should be ignored. "The Black Battalion" has proven its innocence of the vile charges often enough; something no court of justice in this or any other country, would require. Roosevelt and Taft and their "Brownsville" allies included three high army officers who killed (Roosevelt) Taft; tools, have failed several times to convict our soldiers of their dirty charge, and the persecution of "The Black Battalion" ought to cease. If it be possible President Taft, is proving worse than Roosevelt in this matter as well as others. WALTER L. BROWN, Candidate for the Best-Paying Position Any Cleveland Afro-American Has Ever Been Nominated For. One of the three Democratic candidates for justice of the peace is Mr. Brown. We cannot refrain from calling the attention of our readers, all loyal members of the race, to the very graceful compliment, paid the race in Mr. Brown's triumphant nomination. He is so recently out of St. Vincent's hospital, where he had a leg amputated away above the knee, that it has been simply impossible for him to do much campaigning in his own behalf. That he is able to leave his home at all, so soon after the opera has been simply a wonderful institution and vitality that no one would dream he possessed, even though they knew him well for years. Mr. Brown has a family that consists of a wife, and two of the most interesting and nicest little girls in the city whom he is struggling to educate properly. Regardless of the fact that we are on the Democratic ticket, we are going to vote for him on Tuesday because he is a member of the race and far more than the least one of the Republican candidates for the same position, all whom are members of the other race. There ought not to be an Afro-American voter in the city who would entertain for a single moment a thought of doing anything else on election day because it is our DUTY to do so. We owe this much to the race and our sons to say that the race and Brown is so simply曼丽ous for sports on our own sports. Show your manhood race and self-respect, for love and loyalty to the race next Tuesday. BE MEN! SHOT AND KILLED HIM.

MORGAN, ESQ., Candidate for the City Council in the Twelfth Ward. The Republican candidate for the council in the Twelfth ward is Mr. D. E. Morgan, No. 2738 Prospect street, a practicing lawyer, of the firm of Hitchcock, Morgan & Fackler, Mr. Morgan has been practicing law in Cleveland for about ten years, and has made a reputation for himself as an able and trustworthy attorney. This is the first time that he has ever run for a politician. He is a member of the affairs of the ward and of the city the same careful and painstaking attention that he would give to his own private affairs. Mr. Morgan has been and is now actively interested in some of the important charitable agencies of the city. He is a member of The Friendly Visiting Committee of The Associated Charities, a director of The Humane Society of The United States and during all of the period of his residence in Cleveland has been actively connected with The Goodrich Social Settlement House. His experience in these different capacities will be of great assistance to him in his work in the council. Mr. Morgan received his legal education at Harvard university and is a graduate of the University of 1897. He is a member of the executive committee of The Oberlin Alumni association of Cleveland. No two institutions in the country have done more for the colored race than Harvard and Oberlin, and Mr. Morgan's connection with these two institutions of learning, is a sure guaranty of his deep interest in all that concerns our race. Mr. Morgan will make an honest and efficient councillor, and we believe that we can do no better than to cast our votes for him on Tuesday, November 2nd. HOW IT WORKS IN THE NORTH! President Taft's "New Southern Policy"—The O. S. & S. O. Home Color-Line and Winslow's Trouble. Xenia, O.—At their last regular meeting, the O. S. & S. O. Home Board of Trustees confirmed the appointment of Dr. Clyde Matron, over our girls in Cottage 20, thus sanctioning the drawing of a color-line in that state institution. Democrats and Republicans, all look and act alike when it comes to dealing with our people these Taft days, but the average Afro-American seems to be ignorant of that fact and there is no telling when he will wake up and realize his stupidity. When Clyde Matron takes his place clerk in the county auditor's office last week he faced a strong protest from white "Republicans," who tried to devise means and ways to keep him out. Of course there isn't anything strange about that, but it ought to teach Greene county Afro-Americans a much needed lesson.—Rev B. W. Clark with the assistance of E. W. Curry of Urgent Care Church—Vote for Brennan next Tuesday. He is the trustest friend our people ever had in Xenia, Prof. E. A. Clark, who has been teaching in the Wilberforce Theological seminary for years, has resigned and taken up pastoral work at Lexington, Ky. LANGFORD IS CONFIDENT. Says He Can Jack Ketchel Quicker Than Jack Johnson Did. New York City — Sam Langford, the pugilist, is out with another offer for a fight with Stanley Ketchel (white) and declares he can stop the Michigan fighter in less time than it required "Jack" Johnson to do it. Ketchel and Langford were matched at catch weights and were ready to fight here when their bout was called off because of the activity of Gov. Hughes. Langford wants to meet Ketchel for weights and is ready to fight here of the purse, at catch weights, or at 158 pounds, the fight to be held at Colma, Cal., at any time agreeable to Ketchel. By whipping Ketchel, Langford hopes to get on a match with Johnson. He has been after "Jack" for a long time and many of his supporters share his belief that he can defeat the champion. Ketchel says he is willing to meet Langford if the purse is big enough. "Jack" Johnson Won Thousands! New York City — "Jack" Johnson made more money out of his victory over Stanley Ketchel at Colma, Cal., on Saturday than he did out of the three fights he had with Tommy Burns, "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien and Al Kaufman, the California pugilist. For putting Ketchel away he drew down exactly $26,200, including the side bet of $10,000. Ketchel, for losing, got $6,900, which minus the $5,100 from the side bet of $9,900. The gross receipts of the battle amounted to $33,200, which is the largest amount that has been taken in on a fight in California in many years. George Washington Shot. Bellefontaine, O.—George Washington was shot through the body late Saturday night and is in a serious condition. Tom Basibal (white) is in the Hardin county jail charged with the shooting. Washington is janitor of the city building, and it is said that the shooting was the result of an altercation over the affections of a Kenton woman. One Year.....81 98 Six Months.....1 00 Three Months.....90 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GARETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1984 to 1988 1986 to 1988 1990 to 1992 Cleveland, O., October 30, 1909. With Foulmouthed Ben. Tillman, South Carolina's one-eyed senator, refusing to attend a Taft banquet in his own state because the admission fee is $10, and "Bully" Stone of Missouri, slapping Afro-American servants whenever he can find one in a position that does not permit him to retaliate, the south's Democratic representation in the United States senate is covering itself with the ushul newspaper disgraceful notoriety that it seems to love, and that is as disgusting to all true, intelligent and loyal Americans as it is pleasing to the rank and file of southern Democracy. The south's representation in congress these days also includes Tom Hefflin, the Alabama congressman who shot an Afro-American in a Washington, D. C., street-car some months ago, and seriously wounded a white man at the same time, neither of whom had done anything at all to him. There are many others of their kind from that section of the country in both the house and the senate at Washington, D. C., we regret to say. 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, race and self-respect and loyalty by coming out "fat-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 we'll 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! ELECTION DAY DUTY. At last it has come! Afro-Americans throughout Ohio, smarting under neglect, mistreatment, broken promises and pledges, and an indifference which amounts to insult when the matter is broached to the local party leaders and they are requested to give to its Afro-American contingent, a potent factor in the Republican party, the recognition so long overdue and so long refused, are revolting and preparing to strike back on election day, next Tuesday. Here in Cleveland, "the knife has been sharpened on both sides" and will be used "with eyes closed." In Columbus, the American Independent, and in Dayton, the Observer, race papers, are leading revolts of our people of their communities against local Republican nominees and leaders, that bid fair to "cut quite a figure" in the results, Tuesday. It is highly high time to our people, everywhere, had stopped talking about what they should do, are going to do, etc., and DO IT. Now is the time to strike back and help to defeat all enemies of the race and those and pledges to us. Whether the candidates to be opposed are Democrats or Republicans is immaterial—makes absolutely no difference whatever. Only local elections are to be held throughout Ohio on Tuesday. DO YOUR DUTY! Scratch their names from your ticket when you go to the polls to vote, and thus show the kind of manhood, and self-respect that every broad-minded and intelligent American admires in all men. It will, too do more to increase the respect for you, Mr. Afro-American Voter, and the race, than anything else political you can do. Indeed, it is not only the proper thing to do but is the only thing to do. Be MEN and strike back next Tuesday! Do not vote at all rather than give your support to any man who would hold back the race in your community by refusing to give our young men and women, the recognition we are entitled to, and which they too frequently promise before election day only to refuse after it. Benefit by the experience and accept no more such promises but do your very best to help defeat all such candidates on next Tuesday, election day. DO YOUR DUTY! ONE CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. Herman C. Baehr, in his candidacy for mayor, stands on a platform which says 5-cent fare (after the first eight months of his tenure of office, if elected) for 40 per cent of the car-riders of this city (those who use transfers) and 4-cent fare for all others. This is the highest rate of fare any Republican candidate for the position has stood for in the last ten years, and it will defeat him next Tuesday just so sure as an election is held. The masses of poor white people in this community know the question at issue entirely too well to have any such "wool pulled over their eyes" in this late day and time of street car THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1909. fare agitation and discussion As far as our people and Mr. Baehr are concerned, we submit the following to all manly and loyal members of the race who may still be in doubt as to the proper course to pursue: NO NEGRO NEED APPLY For seven long years Record- er Baehr has refused to appoint any Afro-American to any position in his office, though asked to do so three different times by the editor of this paper, The Gazette. Now he is begging us for votes again—for the fourth time. Wonder "what he takes us for?" In 1900, the editor of The Gazette then a member of the legislature, led the fight that made Herman C. Baehr a member of the park board. HE is indebted to the RACE, and not it, to him. ```markdown ``` Before and after he was elected the first time, seven years ago. County Recorder Herman C. Baehr, who has about 35 male and female clerks and copyists in his office, was asked by the editor of the Gazette to appoint one of our young men and one of our young women to positions in his office as a clerk and copyist, respectively. This was a modest request, considering the fact that the Afro-American voters of this county constituted practically one-tenth of its total Republican vote. This entitles us to nearly four positions in the recorder's office, instead of two. For seven long years, in spite of the fact that he has a representative of nearly every other class or race of people in the community, including at least six Democrats, in his office as clerks or copyists, Recorder Baehr has steadfastly refused to appoint any member of our race to any position within his gift, and now comes forward as a candidate for mayor, begging us for votes. The duty of every self and race-respecting Afro-American in this community is perfectly clear as far as Mr. Baehr's latest candidacy is concerned. BASE INGRATITUDE! The local County Commissioners, Republicans, recently "dried" Dallas E. Cooper and James M. Tilley. Afro-Americans appointed to minor positions at the Court House by the Democrats, and appointed "white" men to their places. County Treasurer Meyers and County Auditor Preslief, both Republicans, who recently took office, followed the seven years' lead of County Recorder Herman C. Baehr, Republican candidate for Mayor, and refuse to give our people any representation whatsoever in their offices. We wanted and still continue to want clerkships in the above-named county offices, or nothing. So they have given us nothing in recognition of our support both at the primaries and at the polls. How do you like it? About every other potent local factor of the party has been recognized by clerical appointment in the above-named county offices, Germany. The most important class of other class-factors of the party other than class-factors of the party have them given clerkships. Some of them (the factors) are far from the importance of the Afro-American in point of number of party members and workers. Still they have been given the recognition which has been refused us. What are you going to do about it? We do not blame Messrs. Baehr and Preslief for refusing to appoint Fulton and Hudson, two "Negro" applicants for places, for to do so, would have an effect upon our people of this community that would be worse for Meyers and Preslief and the party than no appointment at all. But we have others whose selection would not only pleasing and satisfactory all around, but who, if appointed, would add materially to the offices in every way. This sort of treatment of the more than four thousand Afro-American voters in this city and county (refusing to give us representation in their offices) by Messrs. Baehr, Meyers, Preslief and Sheriff Hirstus (for the appointment he gave an Afro-American is not entitled to the slightest consideration), is one of the things that is going to do to the most at the coming election to defeat the entire Republican ticket. If the right and honorable thing, as suggested above, is not done and immediately, too, Promises to do "after election" will NOT be accepted. Just bear that in mind. The application of President Taft's "new southern policy" right here in Cleveland, will not be tolerated because we have our redress coming in November on election day, and don't let any one be foolish enough to think for one moment that we will not strike back at that time. We may remember two years ago! We will accept nothing less than clerkships in the three county offices named, and the two positions under the County Commissioners which were arbitrarily taken from us recently the Democrats have us fall given a nominee for the best office any Afro-American in this community has been nominated for in twenty-five years or more. Mayor Tom L. Johnson has appointed more Afro-Americans to office than all the Republican office-holders combined, and more than any Republican or Democrat Mayor of the City of Cleveland. These are facts! We give you to you, local Republican office-holders and leaders, as a Republican but as a far more loyal Afro-American. It will pay you to consider them well and promptly, too, for the time in which to do so is very short. Get busy. Like thousands of other local Republicans, we had hoped this was to be the year that would see a change in the executive head of this municipality, but it seems as though those at the head of the party's affairs in this city and county have the least care for its success at the polls in city elections when a Mayor is to be elected. Do Baehr, Meyers, Preslief, Hirstus, their backers, and other well-known "organization" Republicans, want Tom Johnson elected in November for the fourth time? It would seem so. One thing, there are thousands of intelligent Republicans in this city today who in their very hearts believe so, and they have been forced to such belief as the result of things like those to which attention has been called, as well as others of far more general effect. GREAT CHANGE IN THE SOUTH! BAD AS IT CERTAINLY WAS! "Jim Crow" Railroad and Street Care Some of Them in the Rear of Toilet Rooms—Dirty and Flithy—Quit Blowing and Bragging About the South—An Interesting Letter. Danville, Va., Oct. 11, 1809. Danville, Va., Oct. 11, 1609. Editor The Gazette, Dear Sir: I am very sorry to say that things have happened greatly for the worse since I was born in 1909. I was 20 years ago. They even have "Jim Crow" street cars here now. The "whites" sit in front and our people in the back, the two last seats of each car being used for smoking for both races. The best of our people do not care more than they are compelled to. They are our own carriages or conveyances, walk, or hire rigs of some kind. Although I had a first-class ticket from Painesville, O, to this town, I was forced to take a "Jim Crow" car south of Washington, D. C, and you know what that is—anything but "first-class." At that time, I was forced to change my ticket for one on the Southern railroad. Great (?) is this country and its government in its protection of its CITIZENS who are interstate passengers and pay for first-class fare. The government is only one who is so degraded, and I guess it's because he has always helped to save the government from the British, two times; the Spaniards, and last but not least, from these very few who tried to disrupt the country and shoot the government to pieces in the war of the rebellion between 1861 and 1865. Yes, indeed, this "is the home of the tree and the land of the people." It is rather a farce, a joke, or a parody on such a republic, or country. Well, I left Washington on a 4:10 train for this place (Danville) and I wish you could have seen where they put me to ride (in the "Jim Crow" car)—back of the "white's" toilet, and the car was so dirty and filthy that you have no idea how I hated and dreaded to sit in it. It really made me nervous! I don't love breezy north that many "Negroes" from this section skiddoo to only to brag about this God-forgotten section of the country that they were too glad to leave and never come back to. to stay if they can possibly help it. Thousands, yes millions, "help it," too. don't they? "The old home isn't what it used to be." Bad as it was, it is now infinitely worse. Southern "Negroes" in the north, stop "blowing" about the south, but come on back here and get your eyes opened, and learn something of the true conditions as they really exist (i.e., rageous, the way they treat us down here, and this is the condition in almost every southern state now. Send me The Gazette down here. It will certainly prove "a ray of sunshine" in a mighty dark and tough section of the sky. I wishes for any friends who may make inquiry of me, and hoping to soon be able to return north, I am. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINTING INSIDE INFORMATION WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette W was Right in its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gus Hirstius, because when a member of the council (from the 18th district) was refused to permit a street to be crowded from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so "because colored people would come through" the street from Cedar avenue and "peer into their windows." He withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through) at the request of the above mentioned preju- diced Cedar avenue residents. When he was re-elected to the council, Hirsius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The following is pertinent and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1908. Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk—Dear Sir: Just before election, Councilman Hirsting made a formal meeting to the effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, providing for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Skeed street, or in that vicinity, which he claimed, though passed by the council in July last (the work of cutting the street last) has been held up ever since by Director Springborn or some one else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever it was, referred to, was ever passed by the council or not? Cut out through at that time? By complying with the above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly. Nov. 23. 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette. —Dear Sir; On July 9, 1906, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstius provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The improvement was not made for the reason of the location. His reasons for not wanting it, I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In May of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about opposite Sked street. This improvement was never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city was not adequate for the opening of dead end streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councillmen for ward improvements, and I feel sure that the only reason the improvement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstius listened to. Would suggest that you call up Mr. Springborn and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a rumor. Very truly yours. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette—Dear Sir, Answering your favor of the 21st inst., with reference to the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are as Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue, it would have been five years ago. But Mr. Hirstius proposed to make this opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the property owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against our proposal. Mr. Hirstius agreed not to have it made, and ASKED ME TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule to act in accordance with the law, presenting the ward in which improvements of this kind are to be made. It therefore seems that MR. HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAME FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED. Yours truly. Director Board of Public Service. Will Make Thoroughfare Shine. New York City.-If the efforts of business houses an residents along Fifth avenue are successful, that street is destined to become the most brilliantly illuminated thoroughfare in the world.

Have you noticed that Tom Fleming has only been allowed to speak to "colored meetings" by the Republican executive committee? Well, it's so.

Williams, who came on from Cleveland, O., at the beginning of the school year to take charge of the M street high school, is growing in popularity and has won the confidence of the educational authorities of the district by his prompt grasp of the many details of the great nation, his favorite art, and it is evident that he will bring M street up to a higher standard of efficiency than it has enjoyed at any previous period, in its history. Prof. Williams is a success." Rev. and Mrs. E. Fort celebrated their twenty-fifth marriage anniversary Tuesday evening of last week at St. James church, Hudson avenue. The church was beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowers. There was a large number present and Rev. and Mrs. Fort were presented som useful and valuable presents with purse of $45.50.

Washington is alleged to have preached the doctrine of surrender down in Ohio in his addresses in that state and advising colored people not to push themselves in places where they are not wanted. Within a month past Mr. Washington was refused accommodations in a white man's hotel in Akron, Ohio, on account of his color. The Gazette of Cleveland records. Washington a timely lesson against southern prejudices in northern communities where, for many years, colored Americans have enjoyed equal rights, and calls upon the professor to right the wrong and injury he has seemingly inflicted upon Ohio colored Americans by prosecuting the hotel proprietor who refused him accommodations.

He only paid the bill when the cab-driver got possession of his grip, and Patrolman Coates of the station squand, who said $1 was the charge to be made. "Is your name?" said Stone to Coates. The patrolman answered. "I intend to see about this," were "Bully" Stone's parting words as he handed over the $1 to the "cabby."

"At Ambas (Africa) were a party of 30," related a Belgian officer to Sir Conan Doyle, "under Van Eycken, who sent us into a village to ascertain if the natives were collecting rubber, and in the contrary case to murder all, including men, women and children. We found the natives sitting peaceably. Thereupon we fell upon them all and killed them without mercy. "An hour later we were joined by Van Eycken and told him what had been done. Thereupon he ordered us to cut off the men and hug them on the village pallisades, and to hang the women and children on the pallisades in the form of a cross."—From Sir A.

A Double Repentance By GEORGE T. PARDY (Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.) It would be a difficult matter to say just what started the argument between Alice Ray and her fance, Roland Everett. They simply differed on a point of view, and as both were self-willed, neither cared to admit being in fault. "You are absurd, Roland," said the girl, petulantly. "Just because I don't agree with you, I'm to be accused of self-willing and obstinacy. If anyone is obstinate it certainly is yourself." "Very likely," responded her lover, dryly. "Perhaps we'd better not talk of the matter any more." "Roland, Roland, Roland!" she sobbed and threw herself into a big arm-chair in a passion of tears. "How can it have happened? What was the matter with us? You know I love you, Roland—yes, and I know you love me. And yet—if we had hated each other we couldn't have been more cruel. Can't a love like ours cast our misunderstanding and vanity and self fishness? I would die less if my death could save him from pain. And yet I could not yield a worthless point to him—to him who is worth more than the whole world to me. We did The two young people were seated on the veranda of a country house, charmingly embowered in creeping vines and commanding a wide view of the Hudson river and the mighty hills through which it winds. The summer air was full of the fragrance of new-mown hay, and the drowsy murmur of insects lulled the ear, while ever and anon a thrush by the brook rippled into mellow song. Everything spoke of peace except the two in whose hearts, by right, the perfecting glory of love should have given the culminating touch, for they were engaged. Yet it so happened that a dispute, trifling in itself, had become magnified and embittered, after the sad human way, until both the man and girl were in a state where any moment might bring forth some act or word which the rest of their lives would be spent regretting. After Rolland's last remark there was silence for several minutes. He leaned back in his chair and looked grimly down at the river. While Alice, having turned from him with a swift movement, stared nervously across the hills and blinked the tears from her eyes. When she spoke it was with a measured coldness which hid the hurried beating of her heart. "If we have only been engaged a week, and have already found a topic on which we must be silent for fear of quarrelling, I think there surely must be something wrong." "If you can say such a thing as that, Alice, there surely is," replied her lover, hoarsely. "Then—then—there's nothing to do but—" She stopped abruptly and glanced at Roland. But he still stared She Started as She Realized What She Was Looking For. at the river and scarcely seemed to have heard her. She sprang to her feet and an angry color dyed her cheeks. "I'm sorry I've been so slow to understand you, Roland," she exclaimed. "It's evident we are not suited to each other. The best we can do is—is to forget we've ever been engaged." Roland stood up and looked at her, pale as she was flushed. "Do you mean our engagement is broken?" he asked. "Here is your ring!" and she tore it off and handed it to him. "If your love for me cannot stand a slight disagreement, Alice, doubtless you are right." He looked at the ring and then put it slowly in his pocket. Alice turned away and began to arrange magazines on a table. A moment or two passed. Then Roland, without another word, strode down the veranda steps and mounting his horse, which stood hitched at the foot, galloped off. Alice listened to the beat of the hoofs until they died away. Then she went slowly into the house and up to her room. She felt as though she were carrying a great weight, and almost staggered as she reached her door. Tears blinded her as she entered. The perfume of the roses he had brought her that morning sweetened the air. There stood his photograph, manly, handsome, with the smile in his eyes that she knew so well. Adopts Law of Nationality Legislation Recently Enacted in China Brings Country in Line With Rest of World. A Chinese paper states that the law of nationality, consisting of 24 articles, has been decided upon. By this law any person who has lived in China over ten years and is above 20 years of age, of good moral standing, being helpful to China, may be allowed to assume Chinese nationality if asked for. Unless one has lived in China more than twenty years he will not be allowed to serve in the grand council, imperial household department, or as a military official in any position above the fourth grade, neither can he become a member of Parliament nor of the provisional council. When one wishes to abandon his nationality as a Chinese he must first get the consent of the board concerned or he cannot lose his nationality. Only a person who has not official position or has not failed to pay taxes is allowed "Roland, Roland, Roland!" she sobbed and threw herself into a big arm-chair in a passion of tears. "How can it have happened? What was the matter with us? You know I love you, Roland—yes, and I know you love me. And yet—if we had hated each other we couldn't have been more cruel. Can't a love like ours cast out misunderstanding and vanity and selfishness? I would die gladly if my death could save him from pain. And yet I could not yield a worthless point to him—to him who is worth more than the whole world to me. We did not mean what we said—and yet we have given each other a deadly wound—has insulted our love—have trampled a holy thing in the dust." The hours slipped by and at last Alice aroused herself. She sat up, feeling absently at the fourth finger of her left hand. She started as she realized what she was looking for. "Even my finger misses him," she whispered with a pitiful smile. Behind the house a narrow, winding path made its way between the apple trees and past a yellow field of rye, through a green wood, and over a brook by a rustic bridge. Beyond that point it wandered on, with many a lovely glimpse, giving now and again an enchanting glimpse of the great river, until, a mile or more farther, it joined the highway. It had been the custom of the lovers to meet at the little bridge every evening, and then to saunter along the path, and home by a short cut across the golf links. Alice knew that the hour when she generally started for the trysting place was at hand, knew, hesitated, and finally arose. "He won't be there to night," she murmured, "and I think my heart will break; but I will go—I cannot stay away." The shadows were long under the apple trees as she walked out and the robins flutter joyously. The evening seemed floo't lovely to belong to earth. Meant for heaven, it had somehow lost its way and dropped, by a fortunate chance, on our world. As Alice moved slowly along the fragrant path, seeing in the sky the wonderful ever changing shades of rose and green and purple, hearing music from a hundred happy birds, breathing the balmy air, an indescribable peace entered her troubled heart. What though anger and misunderstanding lay behind? She knew it was all right now. Roland would be waiting for her, waiting with a look of perfect comprehension, and she would not even need to speak. But speak she would, and as she never had before—to tell him how deep, how great her love was, and that never more should a shadow darken it. Never, never! The birds sang always more sweetly, and the wind among the branches made tender harmonies that chimed with the love in her heart. And now she passed the yellow grain, and now entered the woods, and there, indeed, midway on the bridge where the sun sent a mellow gleam through the overarching branches stood her lover awaiting her. A wave of happiness surged over her, taking her breath for an instant. She stopped and then ran forward with hands out stretched, calling in a voice low but of piercing tenderness: "My dearest, I knew that I should find you—I knew you would be here if you had not, I think I should have died." In a moment they were in each other's arms, and at his kiss the last faint doubt or lingering veil of bitterness, if any there was, passed utterly out of Alice's heart, and it seemed to her that in that instant for the first time she knew happiness—supreme, divine. "Have you waited long, Roland?" she asked. "Not long, dear." "The fault was as much mine as yours, Alice," he whispered. "And, after all, there is nothing real except our love." With their arms about each other they sauntered on down the path. The dying radiance of the sun made a glory about them, the trees whispered and swayed over their heads, and it seemed to Alice as though she scarcely touched the ground. What indeed was real beside their love? These lovely things about her—these singing birds and fragrant flowers and murmuring leaves—they were only a sort of picture, a reflection of the happyness in her heart. As long as this beautiful happiness lasted—and she felt as though it could never end—so long too wong this delightful, blossoming world surround them. It must always be glorious summer where they two were! to abandon his nationality. When a Chinese woman marries a foreigner she will abandon her Chinese nationality, and when a foreign woman marries a Chinese she will become Chinese. In either assuming or abandoning nationality the wife and children will follow the husband's nationality. A woman who is married is not allowed to change her nationality alone. Women who are divorced and persons who have abandoned Chinese nationality before the laws are enforced will be treated as Chinese so long as they live in and enjoy their rights in China.

Of the 500,000,000 persons speaking one or another of the ten or twelve great languages, only about 25 per cent, or 125,000,000, speak English, but about two-thirds of all the letters that pass through the post offices of the world are written in English. This is due not only to the fact that Anglo-Saxons are naturally more given to letter-writing than other peoples, but to the fact that much of the international business correspondence of the world is done in English. The higher educational average in English-speaking countries also accounts for many millions of letters. There are 90,000,000 persons who speak Russian, but the number of letters sent through the Russian post offices is less than one-tenth the number mailed in Great Britain alone, though the population of Great Britain is considerably less than one-half of that of Russia. India has a native population of more than 300,000,000, while there are not more than 300,000 persons who speak and understand English, but practically all of the 300,000,000 letters and parcels passing through the 20,000 post offices in the course of a year are written and addressed in English. The time is not far off when English will be commercially, at least, the universal language. A new form of electrical vacuum meter has recently been devised. It possesses a distinct advantage over other electric vacuum meters in the fact that it requires no instrument for measuring the current resistance or intensity. HAD A BETTER SUGGESTION And, Coupled with the Unchaining of the Dog, it Was Carried Unanimously, "Well!" demanded the stern-faced woman as she leaned over the red-handled broom. "What do you want?" "Lady," said the wayfarer, with the long beard and matted hair, "I'm an actor by profession and in hard luck." "Well, what have I to do with that?" "Why—er—I was thinking if you could spare me a quarter to get a shave and a hair cut I could get a job in the role of Virginius." She eyed him disdainfully. "Oh, that's a poor excuse," she said, with a curl of her thin lip. "Go up to the town without a shave and a hair cut and get a job in the role of Rip Van Winkle." And before he could say another word she started to unchain the dog. CURED ITCHING HUMOR. Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did Not Heal—Suffered 3 Years. Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "Little black swellings were scattered over my face and neck and they would leave little black scars that would itch so I couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble only got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so painful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well. I continued until I had used three sets, and now I am sound and well. The disease lasted three years. O. L. Wilson, Puryear, Tenn., Feb. 8, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp., Sole Props, Boston.

"Not infrequent rays of unconscious humor illumine the otherwise impossible stories that come to my desk from amateurs," says a reader for one of the magazines. Recently I chanced upon this choice bit: "John, the husband, and Grace, the wife, ate on together in silence. There was inubitably an ill feeling between them. The husband devoured a plate of soup, half a fish, an entree or two, a piece of roast beef, together with a sweet, without ever once opening his mouth." The Final Transaction.

There is more Catarra in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last decade, there was no one more famous than many doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by cozying failing patients with the help of science has proven Catarra to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Canon Hensley Henson, at a dinner in New Haven during his Yale lectures, condemned the ugility of the English archbishop's attire. "One of our archbishops," he said, "preached in a Kansas church in his panoply of knee breeches, gaiters and apron, and the leading paper of the town concluded an admiral report of his sermon with the words: "The archbishop wore Highland dress."
