THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY BEAUTY IN THE NEW STYLES MAKES A PRETTY PRESENT IN BELICON PRESENTATIVA TWENTY-SEVEN Late The theater or opera gown is of white silk, braided in black rat tail and trimmed with black net. The buttons are covered with net. The buttons is finished with a large soft chou of black panne velvet: Black and white is one of the smartest combinations and practical, too, as one does not tire Never Have Gowns Designed for Feminine Adornment Be Prettier Than This Season. Somebody—a mere man I think it must have been—stumbled over the new name "la lausee" and blundered into the still newer one, "la lionsera". Really, when you stop to think of it, it wasn't such a bad break, after all. There is a great deal of kinship between the washerwoman and the flatterer. The latter is a prettier name, certainly, perhaps not as descriptive, but quite as truthful, as the first. For there is no doubt about it—the new styles are flattering. Take the least attractive of women and put her in the most attractive of dresses—a soft petal-like drapery, a beguiling feminine bib, and a fachu that makes you think of Marie Antoinette or the "Lady with a Muff"—and you may take my word for it that the gown will cajole the most unpromising form and features into something very close to beauty. It really seems as if the gowns of the present year had been especially designed to make plain women lovely and lovely women still loveliest. Take, for instance, a dress that I saw at a casino dinner not long ago. It was so very beautiful that you quite forgot to analyze its wearer's charm and simply set her down in your memory as a most enchanting person—Lauden La Fontaine in the Dellinea. DAINTY LITTLE DRESS. A dainty little dress such as this might be made up in cashmere, velling or viyella. It has a strip of plaited material down center of front, the plains are stitched to just past the waist, the edges of other parts are scalloped and laid over folds of darker material, and have buttons sewn on as trimming. The sleeves are set to a plain cuff finished off by a lace frill. Materials required: 6 yards 42 inches wide, 1 dozen buttons, $ \frac{1}{4} $ yard darker material. THE GAZETTE of it as quickly as one does of colors Light gray tweed and white fur form the trotter suit. The coat is cut on the semi-fitting lines, which is the favorite type for general wear. The hat is turban shape, of white fur, with a black velvet crown, and two broad black and white cuffs. Fan Bag, Always Acceptable, and by No Means Difficult to Construct at Home. Just to throw together in a hurry and yet to accomplish the most dashy and effective of presents. Here is one of the most fascinating of fan bags for the young girl partygoer or for the matron who never stirs without her fan. It is merely a finished strip of Chinese embroidery on satin—the kind ripped from a royal mandarin's old jacket and sold in our country as "curio." The embroidered strips run to blues and yellows, and are about thirty inches long. Double one together, wrong side out, and fell the sides with perfect stitches; face the top with its least obtrusive color in a plain satin or China silk. Draw the bag with ribbons of its darker shade run through a casing, and put the fan inside or not, according to the dictates of your conscience—or your purse. To Carry a Neat Tray. There is no reason or excuse for serving a patient with a sloppy tray. No matter how heavily it is laden or how far it must be carried nothing need be spilled if precautions are observed. Do not fill tumbler, pitcher or cup full. Never pour cream over cereal or fruit, but put it in a tiny pitcher. Individual pots for coffee, tea or chocolate are not expensive. They keep liquid warm, besides being more neatly handled. Most important of all when the tray is finally full, perhaps to overflowing, nothing need be spilled over the edges if the one who is carrying it will sway the tray slightly from side to side as she walks. Grandma's Shawl You may use your grandma's lace shawl—hine fine old black lace shawl—again if you have ingenuity enough to drape it. I say "again" because it is supposed you have done so before, and because I mean to imply that, with care, you may use the beautiful thing over and over again. It should not be cut, but only draped in tunic shape, and if too long it may first be drawn up in apron-bib lines, and even tied into pannier knots at the front, back or side, according to the lines of the garment. Buttonholes in Strips. The home dressmaker or the seam-stress who dislikes to work button-holes will find joy in the fact that they can be bought by the yard and in all kinds of fabrics. They can make calf or silk strips, and can be easily attached to the edge of a blouse which is to fasten under a fly. The New Old Striper French women are wearing the most adorable slippers, made of exquisite brocades, with lovely odd designs; the same style slipper that was worn in the sixteenth and seventeenth century—long and narrow shoes, but with a square rather than pointed toe. Darted Sleeve Liked A favorite sleeve is the one that has no fullness at the shoulders. Instead, the extra material is put into tiny darts which are carefully fitted about the armhole, the material being cut away underneath.

According to the Montgomery Daily Advertiser, not 90,000 voters, all told, cast their votes in that state at the recent election. There are 288,000 voters. Already the nation's schemes for disfranchising the Afro-American have resulted in disfranchising more than 120,000 white voters in that state. When an Afro-American attorney of Fort Smith, Ark., appeared in police court for the purpose of defending a client, Police Judge Woestman refused to allow him to practice in the city.

Mr. William Key, one of our richest men, is dead of heart disease at his home in Shelbyville, Tenn.

This is the record of the same policy in democracy — New Orleans (La.) Southern city. The New York Age is being pressed by various papers for its attempt to defend President Taft in his terrible treatment of the Afro-American people. The Dallas Express is among the latest to thump the Age (Booker Washington's paper) on its bald cranium, in a vain attempt to remind it of the brutality of his mistreatment. Let another race journal bump again and in the same spot. If that be the MEN among us, let them come forth. The Eye. The Ohlicans and northerners generally will no doubt notice that since Mr. Taft's election to the presidency, notwithstanding the uncompromising severity with which he was abused, as the Republican candidate, by the press during the campaign, together with the fact that he received no support, he never from those of the south who are buried in their servile flattery, they are yet likely to claim credit for his election. —Southern Age. The mayor of Beley, Okla., is an Afro-American, likewise the president of the bank and his associates and employees; the school system and seminary are in our charge; the girl who says "number, please," at the telephone exchange, the young woman and telegram at the telegraph office, and the one behind the cigar counter at the hotel, such its is owned and operated by Afro-Anticans, are members of the race. The entire 5,000 population of the town is "Hamitic." Whenever the Clansman has appeared the colored people have made a great to do about it. From the Bee's standpoint it sees nothing in the play that the colored people should go frantic over. The play is going to Boston, and the Bee hopes that the trees that are citizens will attend the play if they want to attend and if they don't want to attend. The more fuss you kick up about the play the more you advertise it. It will die a natural death if you will permit it to run.—Ex. John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight piglist of the world, became a taxpayer in Chicago last week Friday, when a deed was filed for record making him sole owner of propiedad which comprises a three-story dwelling on an 1844 644 square house and lot were purchased for $11,000. A garage will be built, where Jack will keep his fast automobiles, and he plans to make room for at least four machines. Adjacent to the garage will be a gymnasium. Johnson's brother has gone to Galveston to bring his mother to Chicago. He has carved a barn has promised to give $200,000. Lincoln Institute, near Shelbyville, Ky. the Afro-American branch of Berea, Ky. college, of which the race has been robbed, providing the school and its friends will raise an equal amount. The 440 acres of land have been purchased about nine miles from Shelbyville, and $191,000 has been collected. There is $20,000 in the bank, which is still unpaid. There is $9,000 to get the Carnegie money. The limit has been put to this pledge, and if not raised soon, then the institute will lose it. The intelligent Negroes, north and south, object to Mr. Taft's surrender of the city, which rights to the south; they object to his disfranchisement and possession of Negroes in travel; they object to his painful silence on lynching and man burning; they object to his alusion that the Negro is yet to get education and property before he can be a good citizen, when, at the present as well as in the past, his good standing in the city as a soldier made it possible for even Taft to be president of the United States—St. Louis (Mo.) Advance. Felicia Terry's record in the Raymond district (Canterbury, Conn.) was so satisfactory that this year she was re-engaged. The anti-Negro agitation, started by prejudiced southern whites, was increased when another of the school board as a teacher in another part of the town. It grew to such bitterness that only two pupils were sent to her, and the board of education was compelled to close the Raymond school, transferring the pupils to another district. The best residents of the community have been quick to take sides with Miss Terry, and there is talk of legal action to compel the school board her salary for the unexpired term. President Taft on his southern tour has been paying little or no attention to his Negro constituency. He has been invited to address Negroes here in Columbia and elsewhere, but to no avail; and I cannot find where he has delivered any speeches to colored people. The Palmets is a wise, political "move" orhaps to bring southern Democrats into the Republican ranks. But to my mind he may just as well try to make Episcopalians out of Baptists and Baptists out of Methodists as to try to land the southern Democrats into the Republican ranks. The southern people will eat "possum" and coon with him and entertain him royally—or that is southern spirit; but they into the Democratic ticket. Raymond Curtis, editor Columbia (S. C.) Ploughman.

But it is strange that Negroes are so missive. The whites are taking the Negro's rights, one after another, and the Negro is making no contention against this steady encroachment upon his rights. Thus the white man is encouraged to move along the lines of white privilege, always in the lead. That may not be Christianity, but it is perfectly nat ural, and it is in accord with the white man's way of doing things. And the more we study this question of bad treatment against the Negro, the more we are convinced that it is the Negro's fault. He will not contend for anything that is worth having. He will fall down at every point when it comes to contending for his rights. He will talk around his desire and on the curbstones, and that is as far as he will go. He is an easy prey for the white man, and he will be nothing more until he learns to contend and safeguard his rights. BRAIN-STORMS ARE PASSING HOW GEORGE B. COX RUBBEN INTO W. H.

COX RUBBED IT INTO W. H. TAFT AT THE RECENT ELECTION Bad Fall for Reform Mayors and Other Reformers—The Catholic's Stand in the Recent Maryland Disfran chisement Fight—Opposed to Segregation—Foraker for Senator. Portland, Orc, Nov. 16, 1909. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: Mayor Tom L. Johnson was defeated at last. I am sorry—not that I loved him more, but I loved his opponent less. However, taken in connection with the other city elections, it looks like the people were getting tired of these reformers who talked eternally, posing as such very virtuous people and calling in counsel, disagreed with them rogues and criminals. Braves do not last with the American people. I see George B. Cox elected mayor of the "Queen City," the very man Mr. W. H. Taft defeated five years ago. I am glad of it. But what a bitter dose for Mr. Taft to swallow—his own home city repudiating his counsel, a legacy ago and by an increased majority indorsing the man he condemned. Well, Mr. Cox has the reputation of paying his debts and he owes a heavy one of insult and humiliation to the Tafts. Here's hoping he pays it with heavy interest. Portland turned out her reform (?) may last June and San Francisco has abjured it, of which this reaction keeps up, we shall soon see the people repudiate Roosevelt and all his works and all his ways. The bright thing for Afro-Americans is Maryland's rejection of the disfranchising amendment; due, I think, largely to the stand against it of Archbishop Gibbons. After all, the church has strength for any cause she spouses, and in her communion there is no color line. Neither rich nor poor, bond or free, black or white; only sinners needing a Savior. If she throws the mantle of her protection round the southern black and a white man dare to walk north will ask why. And it will not be well for that white man. Do you think a Catholic priest would hesitate to shake hands with a Negro, or run if the white south objected? It is wrong in principle. You will win yet; a partial defeat need not worry you. Reaction always equals action, and this foolish attempt to introduce southern methods into dear old Ohio will be fittingly rebuked. Know you have noticed that George B. H. Forsker his indulgence of Hon. J. B. Forsker for the United States senate. Yours sincerely, MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. HOW JOHNSON WHIPPED JEFF Some Interesting Fight History by C E. Van Loan. The first time I remember seeing Jack Johnson was when he crawled under the ropes at Hazard's pavilion in Los Angeles and took a look across the ring at Jack Jeffries, the brother of the champion. Now, Jack was the natured big fellow in the world, and he had been through several seasons of the hardest sort of training with his brother. Jack had an idea that he was a champion in the make-up of the amount of punishment without staying on the floor for ten seconds. Jack wanted a fight and he wanted it in Los Angeles. Heavyweights were scarse, and when a big colored man blew in from San Francisco and announced himself as willing to fight any of the local men, McMcarey saw a chance to accommodate his friend, Jack Jeffries. Most of the changes that he made to Johnson as he entered the ring that night. In those days, Johnson weighted close to 190 pounds, said In appearance, it cannot be said that Johnson, in condition today, shows the changes that a few years usually bring to a man. We noticed that he grinned a great deal and laughed with his mouth wide open, but he had no golden smile in 1902. Jim Jeffries sat in Jack's corner, but he let the others do the advising. I remember that the changes before he began training for Fitzpatrick mons. The fight was a hummer while it lasted. Jack Jeffries out to win and he attacked every way he knew, but Johnson was then, as now, a marvel of defensive boxing. Jack ripped and tore away at the big black arms, but he could not land a telling punch. Jim, with his eyes narrowed down to slits, watched the battle and his right hand came up from his waist. It was a short punch, but it had a tremendous lifting power behind it and Jeffries went clear off the floor and the soles of his feet were still in the air when the back of his head was knockout and Jim grimaced sarcastically when the seconds carried Jack back to his corner. "I told him not to fight that fellow," was all Jeffries said. The quick work Johnson made of Jack Jeffries started him on the way to easy money and plenty of battles. The first impression was a good one and Los Angeles was crazy to see more of the black whirlwind. A report states that American tobacco interests will erect a cotton mill. We have stood for hay, alfalfa, cabbage, and Manila cigars, but cotton—never—Wall Street Journal. 2 One Year. 6156 Six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- sence money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1794 to 1894 1898 to 1898 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., November 20, 1909. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. President Taft has succeeded in shutting out the "colored brother" from any appreciable part in taking the next census, notwithstanding the fact that 65,000 enumerators will be employed by the government, beginning work next April. There is entirely too much "criticism of the Negro" in public speeches and in the white press of the country, by "Principal Booker T. Washington," for the edification, in most instances, of a class of whites who neither wish to nor can understand it properly. That eleven thousand dollar Chicago real estate investment of "Jack" Johnson's last week, would indicate that he intends to "slide-step" the heartreading poverty fate that overtook poor Peter Jackson and George Dixon. Joe Gans has a little left, it is said. --- There is no race publication needed more than the Alexandria (Va.) Horizon. We sincerely trust that it will soon be re-issued as contemplated by its editors and publishers, Messrs. Du Bois, Murray and Hershaw, fearless, able and loyal writers. We urge every one of our readers to subscribe for it. You cannot afford to be without it. When the Afro-American becomes an independent voter in local politics, he will have taught the national control of the Republican party the lesson. President Taft has made clear, it needs to learn immediately. Our political future as a race, and other more vital interests, are dependent upon this. Think it over carefully and see if The Gazette is not right as usual. The Philadelphia Weekly Tribune and other race papers, particularly those in the south, ought to thoroughly investigate W. G. Critchlow (white) and his I—I—U, of Dayton, O., before going much further with his and its advertising. If they (Critchlow and his I—I—U) are all they claim to be, no harm will result from such an investigation as we believe ought to be made and at an early date, too. John W. Cromwell's suggestion of the organization of an Afro-American press association that would promptly secure information that could be used to expose the lies the Associated and other Press Associations of the other race are continually sending to the daily papers of this country and cabling across the oceans to the foreign press, to the lasting injury of the race, is not a new one by any means, but is an excellent one, just the same, that ought to have been acted upon by our several alleged "national" organizations long ago. The south, especially Georgia, because he has a summer "home" at Augusta, is claiming President Taff, as "its own." Well, they or rather it, is welcome to him! The Lord knows he has been and is no good to our people, and precious little good to the rest of the country. As a "stradler" of every question, issue, and disturbance in his official family, he beats anything in the presidency this country has ever known. He is President Roosevelt's opposite in this respect at least. For a three hundred pounder, he certainly can "straddle" some. It ought not to require four years of this sort of thing to wear him out both physically and politically. Regardless of how "near to Akron, O." our esteemed conferee of the American Baptist, was at the time of the distressing incident, we repeat for his benefit that "as a matter of fact," Dr. Booker T. Washington was "denied a right by the Buchtel hotel in Akron, O." His agent was at the hotel and applied for entertainment for him. Dr. Washington can institute suit for damages under our Ohio Civil Rights law and ought to do so. Stop trying to make excuses for him! Let him do it himself. A fine (?) "national leader" of a race like ours, such a man would make. That our Louisville, Ky., contemporary has constituted itself Mr. Washington's chief apologist in this particular case, attests none of the facts, and will change none of the phases. Booker T. has been dodging racial responsibilities of this kind, criticizing, publicly, the race in the wrong way, practicing and preaching to whites and our people, his "doctrine of surrender" entirely too long. The members of the race outside of his school at Tuskegee, are entitled to more and better consideration at his hands. He has simply got to "make good" along this line, if he ever hopes to become the national leader of our people, and it is going to take more than the "say-so" of white and black sycophants, to make him such. Tell him so, Brother Steward, and you will "star" in a new and far better role, at least in the minds and hearts of the best of our race in this country. Then, too, you will prove a much better and real friend of Dr. Washington. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1909. TAFT'S "NEW SOUTHERN POLICY" In a leader on "Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt," the Republican Inter-Ocean, a Chicago daily, compares the ideas of the two presidents upon certain points regarding policies, measures, methods, etc., much to the disadvantage of Mr. Roosevelt as to policies and methods more particularly in the course of this dissertation, the writer has this to say as to the final conclusion of his meditation: Mr. Taft expressly declares that he is "entirely opposed to excepting from the operation of any general idea of persons, like laborers or workers, or ministers or teachers or lawyers." He rightly describes all efforts to establish inequality before the law among American citizens as "legislation of the most vicious character." He is so positive on this point that his remarks may be regarded as almost a personal rebuke to his predecessor in office. Be the inference on that point as it may, it is evident that in many ways we have now a president of ideals and methods entirely from those of the distinguished gentleman who is now dividing his time between killing with beasts and writing magazine articles. And in that fact the country may well relieve. This is very comforting, indeed, as far as it goes and so far as it is true. But the trouble with Mr. Taft is, that he does not go the full length of his "ideals," nor does the Inter-Ocean and most other "Republican organs" for that matter. An eclatant instance of the correctness of our contention, to which we invite the attention of the president and his adherents, will be found in the so-called "new southern policy" of the president of the United States, ALL the states, if you please, dear citizens. In this "southern policy" the president of all the United States, the chief executive of all the people, the representative of all citizens, regardless of station in life, professions, avocations (see his above remarks!), of creed, or ahem! of color (mark it!). has proclaimed with a frankness that is almost shocking, since it is akin to boasting of one's yielding to wrong, that he will "not appoint any Afro-American to office in the south where there is objection to (a prejudice against) him!" Mark you: not for any good reason in opposition to the man (prejudice is unreason, as the very word implies—"to judge beforehand.") To repeat, this "makes prejudice the judge in the chair and its victim the defendant!" It goes without saying that there is no warrant for such a doctrine in the constitution; there is none in civilized law anywhere! It anybody is so stupid, mentally or morally, as not to be able to see the injustice, the illegality of this "policy" let us put the case more concretely: Let us assume that the president of all the United States and all its people appointed a Jew (a citizen), or a naturalized citizen from England, Ireland, Germany or almost any other country on the face of the globe, to office in a locality "where there is a prejudice against the appointee" because of the class or race of people with which he is identified, the people acquiesce in his "policy" if he withdrew his appointment because of that prejudice? Or going further with the matter, if recognizing that prejudice protest, he proclaims that "he would not appoint a Jewish-American, etc., to office in this prejudice district, or state, what a howl would go up, for the Jews are influential in this country and have to be reckoned with in its "politics"!! Such a policy should be condemned on all sides as unjust, unconstitutional, inhumane, unrepublican; in short, unjustifiable from any standpoint, intellectually and morally. The Afro-American has no special privileges; he asks none either, but he cannot be treated otherwise than Americans of all other classes are; he cannot be discriminated against, to put it plainly, no matter who demands it as contract for his approval of whatever "policy," no matter who adopts the discrimination as a bait for whatever "policy" from whatsoever motives, good ones not excepted! Mr. Taft does—no matter how much he and his adherents may protest and expostulate—Mr. Taft, to use the language of the Republican Inter-Ocean, does "except from the operation of the law, a class of persons." The right to hold office is, in a republic, contained in the right to vote, and this right is guaranteed to manhood regardless of "color or previous condition" by the constitution of the United States, which is sovereign to that of any state in this, that no laws in opposition or in subversion of the tenets, made by a state, is legal—in the nation's judicial code. Whatever may be said against Mr. Roosevelt, his remarks in the message announcing the acceptance of Oklahoma to stateship, ring true. Said he: "Oklahoma having complied to the 14th and 15th amendments of the constitution," etc., etc. We invite, we court the attention of the present president of the United States and a host of others holding with him, to our point, and wish to hear from them on their "condemnation of all efforts to establish inequality of the law," or its execution! THE BIENNIAL CONVENTION Ard Thirty-fifth Anniversary of the Woman's Parent Mite Missionary Society. The first biennial convention under the direction of the PAREnt Mite executive board was held in St. John's church November 11 to 14, and was largely attended. This was also the 35th anniversary of the Woman's Parent Mite Missionary society. The object of the convention was to bring about more interest in the work of women more missionary inspiration. The quadrennial conventions being so taken up with the heavy routine attendant upon presenting the work to the general conference, Mrs. Handy being absent on account of the bishop's illness, Mrs. Rosa Johnson first vice president, presided at all sessions. Many good discussions entered into pertaining to the good of the work. Especially interesting were the talks and addresses given by Miss Hallell Brown and Mrs. Sada J. Anderson. The former was elected delegate to the world missionary conference, which is to convene in Edinburgh, Scotland, Tuesday, November 11, Baltimore, alternate. Mr. Thomas Bombasa Kalane, Inhambane, East Africa, a student at Wilberforce, was --- present. He came directly from the uncivilized parts of Africa, where no missionary has entered, and has been in this country only four years. Mr. Kalane has taken on the English language well and expresses himself nicely considering his limited vocabulary. He spoke to the children Summon and show so security so impressed the missionaries that Brown asked that a collection be given him, they expressed their sympathy in deeds, not words, and a good sum was raised to assist in his education at Wilberforce. The quadrennial meeting of this body will be held in Chicago. Ill., November 19, at 11 a.m. at the University of the next four years, following the time of the assembly, Officers, Mrs. M. F. Handy, president; Mrs. Rosa Johnson, Cleveland, first vice; Mrs. Grace Offer, Pittsburg, second vice; Mrs. Dovie Clarke, Wilberforce, recording secretary; Mrs. M. S. Beckett, corresponding secretary, and Mrs. S. E. Tanner, Philadelphia, treasurer. All of the bishops' wives, honorary vice presidents, and Mrs. Tanner, 79. Mrs. Ella Thomas of Huntington, W. Va., was elected reporter for the convention and Mrs. J. M. Gilmore of this city represented The Gazette. THOSE CHATTANOOGA LYNCHERS Jailed Because They Defied the U. S Supreme Court—Six Behind the Bars. Washington, D. C.—For the first time in its history, the U. S. supreme court Monday imposed prison sentences for acts of contempt against that august body, in the case growing out of the lynching of Ed Johnson, an anarchist who was killed in a police assault at Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1906. The act of contempt charged was the failure of officials to prevent the lynching and participation therein by citizens, after the court had announced its intention to review the lynching. The brutes was angry because a stay of execution, which was to have taken place the day following the night of the lynching, had been secured and by two Afro-American attorneys who were at once exiled from that city. Trevor Joseph W. Ship, ex-sheriff, 90 days. Joseph灵 Gibson, ex-jailer, 60 days. Luther Williams, citizen, 90 days. Nick Nolan, citizen, 90 days. The present contempt proceedings were practically without precedent. They originated in the court's decision in March, 1906, to consider the appeal of Johnson from a verdict of the Tennessee courts holding him guilty of assault and murder to be hanged, a charge of assault. The night after the determination of the supreme court to review the proceedings was wired to Chattanooga, a mob stormed the jail, took the prisoner out and lynched him. It is the best blover ever given lynching by the federal courts of this country. DOUBLE TROUBLE.

WHOLE FAMILY IS SLAIN FATHER HAS FIERCE CUN FIGHT WITH MINISTER'S SONS. Young Woman Brutally Murdered and Portions of Another Slain Girl's Body Found in Troy, N. Y. Pioneer, L.A.—A whole family is dead as the result of a three-cornered fight here between Clarence Compton and Sylvester and Albert Owen. Compton, his wife and his little daughter were killed; Sylvester Owen was slightly wounded. He and his brother surrendered to the sheriff. The Owens are young sons of a Methodist preacher. They rode to Compton's house and demanded an apology 'or an unkind remark about the preacher's daughter. "You little boys run along," soffed Compton. "Why," he challenged, "I'll take two guns, fight you both at the same time and shoot your heads off." The Owens boys jumped at the challenge. Compton had two automatic revolvers. Twenty paces were measured off between Compton and the Owen brothers, who stood five feet apart. The word was given and the three opened fire. Compton using both his guns on the two brothers. Several shots were fired and Sylvester Owen fell slightly wounded. Several shots had been exchanged when Compton's wife and her little daughter dashed from the house. Before the Owen boys realized what was happening, or before Compton could stop shooting, Mrs. Compton had hurled herself into the line of fire and thrown her arms about her husband's neck. She fell, mortally wounded, and her child dropped dead. Compton fell over his wife's body with three bullets through his lungs. He lived only a few hours. He had continued the fighting after being wounded. Mrs. Compton died later. Troy, N. Y.—Troy added two more murder mysteries to its list with the finding of the body of Miss Caroline G. Gorgen, a shoogirl, who had been strangled to death, and the discovery in an ash pile of parts of the legs of a girl apparently about 16 years old. There is no clew to the murder in either case. Children playing in a dark ravine near the river bank opposite the city found the body of Miss Gorgen. There were brushes on her face. Her clothing was disarranged. Dr. Silcocks, coroner's physician, pronounced it a case of murder. The girl was about 20 and was neatly dressed. Two pairs of gloves, one a man's and the other a woman's, were near the body. Coroner Armstrong said that the girl was killed while fighting for her honor. ELECTRICITY DOES WONDERS Woman Doctor Restores Dead to Life —Instrument Tells Whether Egg Is Alive or Dead New York City—American and European physicians of note are marveling at the work of Dr. Louise G. Rabinovitch, who has startled scientists by restoring the apparent dead to life. She does not claim to restore the dead, but medical experts say no doubt remains that she has in many cases restored animals, and even one human being, pronounced dead by competent physicians. Cases of electrocution, chloroforming or opiate poisoning are treated. Dr. Rabinovitch is capturing the heart and lungs in regular beats and respirations until the vital organs resume their functions. In a public address in Buffalo on the science of electricity in human bodies, Dr. Andrew McConnell, New York, presented a curious instrument of his own invention which he declared, with its perfection, would discover the sex of an unborn baby. Even now he claims the instrument will determine by its motions whether an egg contains a rooster or a hen. The device consists of a thin piece of copper wire, about six inches long, on one end of which is suspended a steel ball a quarter of an inch in diameter. SCHEMES TO FOOL FARMERS Secretary Wilson Warns Against Purchase of Advertised Agricultural Lands. Washington, D. C.—Schemes to defraud the farmer and the would-be farmer by specious advertisements, are receiving the attention of the department of agriculture. Secretary Wilson in his annual report will warn the overcredited that vast tracts of almost pure sand, left after the cutting of the pine trees, are being advertised as fine farming lands; undrained swamps described as priceless possessions. A favorite device is to offer seeds or bulbs of some remarkable hybrid plant that "will produce thousands of dollars an acre." The department caused an investigation into the merits of a berry advertised as combining the properties of the rarest fruit. It found that the berry had little value. Wife Takes All but Mule.

Not only the houses of the Mexicans, but whatever you admire is yours. If you express a sentiment of approbation of anything, the owner at once says: "Senor, it is yours;" but he simply intends something flattering, and you are therefore not expected to accept anything that is offered to you. An amusing story is told of Sir Spencer St. John, the English ambassador, which illustrates how this national courtesy often provokes embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is a gallant old bachelor, was promending with some ladies in the park, when he met a nurse girl with a bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped to admire the little one, and Sir Spencer asked whose child it was. "Senor, it is your own," replied the nurse, with a courtesy. Sir Spencer has never inquired as to the parentage of pretty children since. Suspicious. The father of Judge W. H. Wadhams had a chicken coop and a dog and a stable hand. It began to look to Mr. Wadhams as though some one had discovered the combination. So he kept the coop and the stable hand, but he got a new dog. Next day the bent old negro who groomed the Wadhams' horses came to him. "You los' you affection foh me, boss?" he asked, "No, Sejpio," said Mr. Wadhams, "I like you as well as ever." "Then," said Sejpio, pevishly, "wyn't you the Old Rover in de chicken-coop, 'stid of dat new dorg?" An Entirely Selfish Theorist. "Do you believe in the theory of reincarnation?" asked the serious girl. "You mean to ask if I think well keep coming back to the earth again and again?" rejoined the flippant young man. "I have my doubts about it. The creditors may all come back, but we debtors are apt to go wandering along to other planets if we can possibly arrange it." CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs. It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. There are some truly scientific physicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance: "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who has a summer cottage near me—a specialist from N. Y., and as a last hope, sent for him. "After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stomach became stronged to eat more. "I kept at it, and gradually got so I could eat and digest three teaspoonfuls. Then I began to have color in my face, memory became clear, where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. So I steadily recovered. "Now, after a year on Grape-Nuts I weigh 153 lbs. My people were surreptitiously grew fleshy and strung on this food."

Portraits of Booker T. Washington, "Starlight" Boyd, Henry Eubanks, Harvey Jackson, Sam Woods and "Aris" Taylor made a great group combination for the first page of the "Toilet-paper," last week. "Star's" poise was most stunning and reminded one in rather a vivid way of his name, "the T-jay" is "booming" these days, isn't it?

Messas, Jones and Ricko of No. 3122 Central avenue (ladies and gents' tailors) take this opportunity to return thanks for the large amount of patronage they have received for the short time they have been in the city. It assures them of a generous appreciation of their business efforts while in this community. They desire to say that their business, which were spent business, was the most elegant in New York City, have placed them in a position to please the most fastidious. Their quarters are strictly sanitary, and their workmanship the very best.

Walker and Detectives Ryan and Sadler. He was booked on a charge of robbing Mrs. Irene Dillon, 1605 Prospect avenue, of her handbag and $5 on October 6. Detectives say that he was identified by eight women Wednesday, Mrs. Dillon and Mr. Negus holding charges. Another Negus was arrested the same day on a similar charge. The Gazette sanctum received calls last and this week from many of those who attended the missionary convention. Among the number were: Mrs. J. W. Wood and daughter, Miss Mary, Mrs. J. W. Wood and daughter, Miss Julia May, of Smithfield, guests of Rev. and Mrs. Charles Bundy of East Ninety-fifth street; Mrs. Ella Thomas of Huntington, W. Va., the convention's reporter, and others.

Our people of this city and county have never a deputy sheriff, nor have titilled an appointment from Sheriff Hirstus, who refused to give us the recognition promised.

Our reporter's attention was attracted by the tiny flash of light unseen by elevated road last Monday evening. It appeared as if some one had lost something. Ever ready to assist those in trouble, he walks over to see what was the trouble, and beheld Mr. William Carroll with the stub of his last match in his hand and tears in his eyes. Our reporter was very much moved and inquired the nature of his loss, and persevered when his lost match and the fate it had met, and tears were coniously shed by both sides.—Chicago Defender.

New England Pie. Some poor dweller in the benighted beyond of Chicago asks what a real New England pie is like. It probably will not help him to be told, but if he means apple, it is like an essay by Emerson liquefied with the music of Massenet and spiced with the synicism of Shaw; if he means pumpkin, it is like some of Gounod's music heard in a landscape all sun and flowers. It is too early yet to describe the miracle pies of 1909, but last year's—and last year was not an extraordinary good year—were like an increase in salary and a present from home arriving on the day when one's conscience was behaving itself—Boston Globe. Had a Sure Thing An individual, well known on the Berlin Bourse for his wit, one morning wagered that he would ask the same question of 50 different persons and receive the same answer from each. The wit went to first one and then another, until he had reached the number of 50. And this is how he won the bet: He whispered half audibly to each: "I say, have you heard that Meyer has failed?" "What Meyer?" queried the whole 50, one after another, and it, was decided that the bet had been fairly won. Size of North Pole. "Dr. Cook tells us that the north pole is not larger than a quarter of a dollar," says the Montgomery Advertiser. However, a quarter of a dollar sometimes looks as large as the whole side of a barn.

He was an actor and so grave in manner as to become the butt of other people's hilarity. When any witticism went the round Miller was accused of its authorship and he would never deny it. He lived an exemplary life and died universally respected. But no sooner was he dead than appeared "Jo Miller's Jests; or, The Wits' Vade Mecum," compiled by "Elijah Jenkins, Esq;" that is to say, forged by John Mottley, the Jacobite, just as, years before, Hobson's "Polly Peachum" and Ben Jonson's "Jests" had been forged. His Last Call. The cuckoo clock had announced the hour when graveyards yawn and specters white hold carnival, and still he lingered. "My dear girl," he whispered, reaching for his hat and cane. "I am dreadfully shy of that bulldog. Would you mind see me to the door?" "With the greatest of pleasure," exclaimed the weary girl, "with the greatest of pleasure." And never again did he darken that doorway. Where It Goes. "That man made an immense fortune out of a simple little invention." "Indeed! What did he invent?" "Invent! Nothing, you dub!

The result of properly balanced rations has worked wonders with stock and recent experiments are proving that the same thing is true of mankind. It has been found that Quaker Oats often often and regularly take the place of heavy, greasy foods will work wonders in the health and strength of a family. School children fed frequently on Quaker Oats thrive physically and are always capable of the best work at school. For athletes, laborers, it is the best food.

SKIN TROUBLES CURED Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very Badly—In One Case Hair's Came Out and Left Bare Patches. Cuticura Met with Great Success. "I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for her, but it did not give in until warm weather, when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a physician, but the child grew worse all the time. Her sister's arms were also affected.
