TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 19. For Little Miss THE HONOR OF THE SUN TWENTY-SEVEN For Litt By Julia Bottomley. More attention has been given to children's millinery within the past three years than ever before. The result is a greater number of designs to choose from. This branch of the milliner's art was neglected because it was not profitable to the milliner. But now the manufacturers of hats have begun to produce numbers of pretty and inexpensive shapes, which may be quickly trimmed, and the milliner has been able to show a variety of models at a price which her patrons will consider. Nothing will ever supplant the plain "flat" in felt as the most popular of hats for the little girl at this season. Next to it are the bonnet-like hats the rushroom shapes, with drooping brim and full soft crowns. Two of these pretty and childish models are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In the first a soft crown of velvet is very cleverly mounted to the brim. Six box hats laid at equally distant intervals are slashed so that a collar of soft ribbon is run through them and is finished in a ribbon bow at the left side, toward the back. The same ribbon is plaited in a run out the brim. Little original tencers, such as there are in trimming, are more valuable in making children's millinery than any amount of elaboration in work. Fig. 2 shows a felt hat, faced with white mite silk. A velvet crown is circled with a crushed collar of silk or ribbon, finished in the simplest of bows. A finishing touch appears in the two velvet cabochons which are NEW AND DAINTY. Here is something new and dainty in a fall shirt made from cream deli- nee with plaited fronts and sleeves and finished with a linen collar cut in points and embroidered with self-color dots. This collar is bordered with a very narrow edging of real Irish lace and the bodice is filled in with a tucked collar and chemisette of white lawn. A pretty finishing touch is given by a gray-blue silk te made with open ends. Sleeve. Frills. The tailors will again introduce the plaited frill at the wrist of coats. This was tried once before, but met with little favor. The American woman insisted that the frill annoyed her and that she could only stand 1' on elaborate afternoon costumes. The French women have been wearing it all summer to match the plaited frill they wore at the front of their blouses, but the French women adore plaitings, ruffles and furbelows, and it must be admitted that these garnishings do not suit altogether the Anglo-Saxon women. THE GAZETTE mounted at the front in place of metal ornaments. A "beehive" shape is shown in Fig. 3, which is covered with silk. The silk is shirred to fit the shape of the crown, and the brim previously covered with silk, is finished with a plaited ruffle of this material. A rosette of ribbon or hemmed silk makes the decidedly pretty finish at the left side. A knotted rope of gilt or silver brightens the model, and over the brim and tacked down at intervals. The plain and perennially fashionable felt flat is shown in Fig. 4. A concession to the vogue of full crowns is shown in the "Tam" crown of gilt velvet which surmounts a large full puff. Blas folds of velvet, shirred over a wire, form a big, spreading bow at the left front and complete the model, which embolizes the best features in children's millinery. A felt flat which is soiled may often be successfully cleaned with gasoline. A certain softness in the brim is desirable, but if this lapses into "floppiness" the brim must be supported by one of several methods employing wire. Brims which droop prettily are much more elegant lookup and much more becoming than a stiff, straight bim can ever be. Only very simple trimmingss are in good taste for children. The models shown here demonstrate that only the simplest are needed. Ribbon above all else, in the plain, soft weaves and having a high huster, is the best material to choose in decorating a hat for the little miss. Many, New and Effective Designs Have Been Introduced by the Costumers. Persian silk is artfully utilized by many blouse colors for the foundation over white, dark chiffon falls. The lovely design of this silk is elusive in its coloring, and its uncertainty adds a charm which is always striven for by those who shun flagrant or conspicuous tones. One underbouse of Persian silk in which green and mauve are veiled with a silver light is especially beautiful under a black chiffon bolero. This is braided with black soutache and falls to the top of a folded girdle of silk. Long silk sleeves are draped at the top with chiffon, and emerald buttons ornament the front and back of the girdle and the outer line of the sleeves. Tiny black satin loops and a small cavat finish this blouse. Persian silks are rising in favor because of their two-colored effects, making it possible to wear one blouse with two different suits. Two New Fabrics Among the new materials with fanciful names are the Thais moire and Alaska crepe. Both of them are quite effective, but they have notring suggestive of their names in the textures. However, we have such a variety of fabrics this year that it must be difficult to get names for all of them; and we are adopting the old French method of using the name of the hour for our garments and our textiles. Velveteen Coats. The richness of the long velvet coat may be almost repeated in velveteen. This material and corduroy are both too beautifully made to be scorned. Velveteen never seems like an imitation but like a more durable quality of velvet. This it really is, since the weather has no ill effects upon it and because it will outwear any velvet that may be bought. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. DELIBERATELY ROBBED OF VOTES! HOW IT WAS DONE IN ALABAMA WHEN THE NEW STATE CONSTITUTION WAS SUBMITTED. PADDED AND FALSIFIED VOTE The Motive, the Aim and the Intent of the Southern States' Crime Against Popular Suffrage-How Disfranchisement is Secured-An Intensely Interesting Recital of Facts by One Who Knows Alexander City, Ala.—At the taking of the last census there were 413,765 male citizens of 21 years and over in Alabama. Of these, 232,294 were white and 181,471 were Negroes. The election to ratify the present Alabama constitution was held November 11, 1901. The vote counted for its ratification was 108,413. The vote returned against ratification was 81,734. The total vote accounted for as returned for and against the constitution was, therefore, 190,347, while, it may be seen, there were 223,418 citizens of voting age who did not participate in this voting. As analysis of the election returns in the county of counties of the state reveals, to say the least bit about it, a very interesting story. It appears that the counties populated largely by white citizens voted majorities against the ratification of the constitution and that in the "black belt" counties the vote for the ratification of the constitution was as enormous in proportion as astounding in the proportion of citizens it is presented upon an investigation. In Dallas county, with a white voting population of 2,525 and a colored voting population of 9,871, there were 8,125 votes returned as cast for the ratification of the constitution, while only 253 ballots were recorded as cast against it. A like condition may be observed in other 15 or 16 "black belt" coats. Not only is it true that the Negro population of voting age, the existence of this population, was availed of to disfranchise the Negro, but the "black belt" politicians (white) employed this padded and falsified vote to cut out the poor white (and black) man from the voting through securing the ratification of the constitution of the employment of this "black belt" method. This state constitutional aggression was really devised with the view, the motive, the aim, the intent, the determination, the fixed purpose to cut out such a number of rural white voters in the hill counties in Alabama, as would, in connection with the elimination of all the Negro voters in these several counties, cause the opposition to the Democratic oligarchy in these counties to become a hopeless minority. Those who cannot perceive the spirit behind all of this must be awfully weak and short in vision. In all of this there is the entrenchment of government in the clutches of the classes and the breaking down and crushing out of the voice and power of the masses. It is not a question of color line, or of white man against the Negro, in all of this, but it is that continued discrimination is weak. It is the march of the oligarchy. It is the tread of a political despotism. In this march and in this trend this infamous power rolls just as heavily over the prostrate white as it does over the weak and the helpless Negro. Injustice, in its operations, is color blind. It don't hesitate to get in its work on who is at its mercy, the white or black or black. JOSEPH C. MANNING. Ex-Postmaster. DETROITS LOSE SERIES Trimmed in Final Game Principally Through Rank Errors. Havana. Cuba—By defeating the barnstorming Tigers Sunday by a score of 4 to 1, the Almendares, the colored Cuban club won the series by four games to two. Rank fielding errors by the American league champions were responsible for all four runs, Mullin's fine pitching going for naught. McIntyre's double and Beckendorf's single in the fourth scored Detroit's only run, the other hits coming when they did no good. The locals made two runs in the first on one hit only and duplicated this feat in the fourth. Detroit played at Matanzas Monday.

There is Brother Jones, God bless him, he has been afflicted and has not been with us for many months. Brother Jones, get up and tell us what the Lord has done for you.' Brother Jones rose and hobbled out in the aisle, and said, "Well, he must ruin me."—Congressional Record. THE SOUTH'S REAL PROBLEMS How Our Children Are Robbed of Educational Opportunities—A Staggering Recital of Facts and Figures. Alexander City, Ala.—There was, according to the last census, 731,599 children in Alabama of 5 to 20 years of age, inclusive. The total school enrollment in this state as shown in the report of the Department of education for 1906-7 was 386,478. Of those enrolled, and this does not imply average attendance, there were 258,998 white children. There were 153,618 white children who did not even enrol, there were 292,616 white children of school age. Of the 338,980 Negro children of school age there was an enrollment of 127,482. There were 111,500 Negro children who did not experience an enrollment. In this county, Tallapoosa, the department report states that the school population of whites is 7,273 and blacks 4,196. The total is 11,469. There are 4,213 whites and 1,655 colored. Total enrollment, 5,974, average attendance of whites was 38.4%. The average length of white schools was 130 days and of colored schools 85 days. There are many counties in Ala. Hon. J. C. Manning. bam with the average length of whit schools being lower than 100 days and some as low as under 50 days. Of course this low water mark applies with even greater force to the Negro schools. Of the real attendance, the average attendance throughout the state for, let us say, 100 days in the year it would be a liberal estimate to place the number of both races combined elsewhere about 300,000. This leaves 100,000 children. Alabama who are neglected and most of this number growing up in ignorance. In this, while there is the red hot crusade over prohibition and the extremes of the one side and the other, Then there is the ever present "the Negro question." While theracies often grow into arguments over the air with discussions and the air with epithets hurled at the Negro race, while this is going on, here we have the real and the vital problems, problems that go direct to the hearts and the homes of the people, overlooked and forgotten.

Well, that depends," said Jack Johnson. "I don't believe a man is wise in sailing in and taking a chance of breaking his hands in the first round or getting in front of a knockout wallop.

I do I want to run away from Jeffries on anything, and I will not fight any more recklessly against Jeffries than I have fought in the battles that have brought me to the top." Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial school plant (lands, buildings and equipment) is worth $1,117,656.26.

The ceilings for current expenses for the year ending May 29, were $201,483.11 for permanent improvements, $293,543.95; for endowment, $289,692.55; unrestricted legacies, $142,927.40. There are about 1,500 students under Tuskegee's care.

Washington started a speaking tour of Tennessee by saying: "I told President Taft yesterday that the Negro is well off in the south, and that the races are harmonious. I told him there was no spot on earth where the Negro was better." This explains why Taft ignores the oppression of those of our race in that section of the country. There was a bloody race riot at Monroe, La., some months ago, precipitated by a crazed Afro-American running amuck with a gun among whites, 25 or 20 of whom were killed and wounded. The New Orleans police arrested an African-American stronger legislation in Louisiana against prohibition now makes a convenient exposure of the real cause of the Monroe outbreak; and thus one learns that a white policeman of the town was personally responsible for the affair on account of his lascivious relations with Negro women and his husband, under the cover of his husbands, the "guardian of public • let," The most recent murders by this brute have finally brought about his undoing, and the facts of the case are receiving the publicity they deserve. Such stories as that of the Monroe riot, now fully revealed, present an alarming picture, that is rather appalling, and the question meeting it successively must tax the best leadership of the southern people. Bradford, Pa.. Items. "Jim Crow" School for Ohio JIM CROW SCHOOL FOR OHIO. Xenia, O.—There is a quiet movement in North Carolina and Dayton to again separate the white and Colored children in the public schools of the state. The movement is being nursed by many prejudiced whites and the selfish and traitorous Negroes. The matter is to be brought before the legislature this winter and pushed for all it is worth. We are going to be going on for several years and they are now ready for action. The Gazette is the only one in the state that is trying in any way to preserve and safeguard our rights and we should all rally to its support. We should make a sacrifice, if needs be.

"One drop of Negro blood does not make a Negro. I offer our own fair-haired children as evidence," said a letter found in von Buelow's pockets. Southern Persistency. Why is it that the people of the south refuse to abandon the pernicious principles that almost wrecked the American Union in 1861? And why is it that a great many people in the north encourage them to perpetuate those principles? It is idle and foolish to say that the men who fought to maintain slavery and wreck a nation devoted that they were right. I know that they were wrong and any statement to the contrary is an insult to their intelligence. All over the south and in some places in the north there are organizations in existence that have no other motive than extolling the treason of 1861. Worst of all, many public speakers of prominence have so far forgotten themselves as to laud the disloyalty of such characters as Jeff Davis. The Blue and the Gray are referred to in equal measure and are a true fact they should never be mentioned in the same breath. Is there any equality between George Washington and Benedict Arnold? There is no doubt that any praise of the latter would bring forth a volley of criticism and it is certain that he will never be set up as an example for the guidance of an American youth. The compilation of principles that are known to be wrong is only delaying the consummation of real democracy in America. However desirable it may be to win the good will of the south, this should not be accomplished by praising the southern people for their past errors. If a maddian sentiment for disloyalty is to be allowed to discount the great moral victory of the Union army, we may well stop and wonder why so much blood was spilled in vain.—Yonkers (N. H.).

All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, Cleveland, O., December 4, 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. A number of race papers, in recent weeks, have made much "fuss" because the Iowa supreme court has handed down a decision holding that a private business concern under the Iowa statute, can legally refuse to serve any one, not only an Afro-American. Wake up! conferez! The Washington (D. C). Times of November 28, 1909, in a column article says that Recorder of Deeds John W. C. Dancy, Minister to Haytian John W. Furniss and Auditor for the Navy Ralph W. Tyler, "are slated to go soon," and that Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce of Washington, D. C. Hon. Judson W. Lyons of Georgia and J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., will be selected to succeed them. Dancy and Furniss, especially the latter, are not likely to be displaced but Tytler ought to be "fired" promptly. It does not look as if President Taft intends to appoint afro-Africans to office. That is indeed a terrific indictment that the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, ex-postmaster of Alexander City, Ala., brings against the entire south, in his letter published on our first page today. The conditions he refers to as existing in Alabama, are general in almost every state of that section of the country. It is strange, passing strange that a Republican president, United States supreme court and congress, persist in ignoring so dangerous an evil to popular government in this country. Southern states' crimes against popular suffrage are gnawing at the very vitals of the government and are the most serious menace that confronts it today. And we have a president who tours the south, giving encouragement to that greatest of national evils! William Buckey had a silly tale in a recent issue of Leslie's Weekly, that started off thus: "That Theodore Roosevelt while apparently in Africa on a hunting expedition, killing tigers and fleas, is in reality carefully investigating the conspiracy to assassinate it if he be not able and vindictive in the Sudan country a second empire of Liberia and thereby forever solve the Negro question of America, is the disclosure made by the United States federal attorney in charge of a southern district, who relates the supposed plans of Roosevelt in all their details. The mere fact that the above nonsense originated, or is alleged to have originated, in the fertile brain of a southern attorney ("white") ought to have been enough to convince any Afro-American of its total lack of foundation in fact, even if such a scheme was not impracticable. CHALLENGE ON A MORAL POINT Senator Rayner's canvass of Maryland for the nomination by the Democratic primaries to succeed himself, cost him * * * * the sum of $16,924. So good and able a senator ought to have been sure of a re-election without paying a cent. — Springfield (Mass.) Republican. So good? Politically considered, so good? A Jew, member of the most bitterly persecuted race in history, fighting to keep down another race struggling hard upwards; "so good" "? ?" "There is no disputing about tastes," says a Latin proverb, because there is no basis upon which mankind is agreed. Very well. But there is a basis of intellectual acumen and conscience upon which an agreement is possible and, regardless of all other political weaklings, no man is a good senator in this American republic, who does not believe in the fundamental principles of justice which demand equality of all men before the law, and representation of all in the government! This is either in reality a "government of the people," founded on the principle that "there shall be no taxation without representation," or it is a lie, a hypocrisy, a sham. That is all. A MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR DOWN SOUTH. Apropos: This* is Lincoln's year and—John Brown's. It is 50 years since the slave-holding oligarchy which controlled the political affairs of the republic, hanged that MAN under the laws then pertaining, for having tried to break the chains of human beings, and in doing so, breaking the chains that linked a modern state, a republic, to the ideas and laws of the dark ages, the mediaeval times. It may be well to remind the latter-day Republicans of this aspect of a great event in these days of concessions of principles that were maintained at a fearful price of life, tears and money in the war of the rebellion which ended rightly in the victory of justice and humanity. "Lest we forget"!! Toward this victory the American Negro has aided the federal Union to a great extent. He did his duty as a man and as a soldier. In few, more so than at Port Hudson. Let history speak. The governor of Massachusetts, while down south, evidently did not have the moral cour THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1909. age to tell the truth, the whole truth, for this is a boom day! And Robert Gould Shaws are dead. Wanted: "men," as badly as in 1880. Men wanted! cried the poet, Holland, out of the depths of his soul!! KNOCKER! NOT A NEW ROLE! The civil rights law of Illinois will cause the citizens of Cairo to pay large sums of money as meagre compensation for the fendish amusement of lynching a Negro and a white man. The Illinois law was largely copied from the Ohio law, which wrote and lobbed through the Ohio legislature by the indefatigable efforts of Torrece — Cleveland — "Toilet-paper." Now isn't the above rich? Our liverlipped friend (?) is wrong again, and KNOCKING, as usual! Judge Tourgee had no more to do than he did, with the Ohio Civil Rights law, introduced in the Ohio assembly in 1894 by the editor of this paper, then a member of the Ohio legislature (serving his first term) and enacted into law later on in the same session by that august body. About this time "Noomdy" was Judge Albion Taurcee. "carressing" tobacco plants with a hoe away down in southern Indiana or Kentucky, instead of "shining" as a "knocker," so woofly ignorant of Ohio history of the like of the above, as to be positively amusing as well as disgusting when it is remembered that he poses as an "editor." The law that "will cause the citizens of Cairo to pay large sums of money" as a result of their recent lynching of an Afro-American and a "white" man, is the Illinois mob violence or anti-lynching law, introduced several years ago, and passed, by the Hon. Edward Green of Chicago, an Afro-American member of the legislature of that state at the time. Yes, the "Illinois (anti-lynching) law was largely copied from the Ohio (antilynching) law," which was written by that sainted friend of the race. Judge Albion W. Tourgee, but it was NOT lobbed through the Ohio legislature by the indefatigable efforts of Tourgee," who, it is true, did all in his power to assist the editor of this paper, The Gazette, who introduced, a second time, in 1896, the mob violence or anti-lynching bill he (Tourgee) drew so wonderfully well, and with the active assistance of one of the two other Afro-American members of the legislature that year, "lobbed it through or rather passed it. We (the editor of The Gazette) had introduced the bill in 1894, but owing to the obstructive methods of one Hon. William R. Clifford, our Afro-American colleague from this (Cuyahoga) country were unable to pass it that year. And "Noomdy," he of the Alabaster brow (nit) and liver-lips with Anarchistic-red upper-trimming; the hungry, petty-job-seeking "KNOCKER," would filch from us, not our purse because it is in the usual editorial or journalistic condition, but would rob us of a little hard-earned credit for giving to our people, and all the people of Ohio, for they are for all, Ohio's Civil rights law and Ohio's Mob violence or anti-lynching law! O, "editah of the "Toilet-paper," how could you be so rash and mean? Better keep off The Gazette track, and stop getting run over so often. Brown:West Marriage Cadiz. Mrs. M.

SOUTH CAROLINA APPOINTMENTS! A DEMOGRATIC PAPER IN THAT STATE CALLS THE ROLL AND PRAISES TAFT. "HAIL TO THE NEW CHIEF!" A Veteran (White) of the War of the Rebellion on Our Franchise and Political Rights Even in the South—What "The People" Means in That Sec- Section—"Going Backward." Mr. Taft's record in the way of appointment in South Carolina is one to which he may "point with pride" and for which he is entitled to the thanks of the people of this state! The roll is worth calling at times to show how far we have traveled since the unhappy blunders of the last administration: Durant, collector of the port of Charleston; Storer, collector of shiny in good count; Floyd as postmaster at Spartansburg, with the indorsement of many of the best men in that city; Hastie as assistant district attorney at Charleston; Storen as census supervisor of the First district; Waterhouse at Beaufort; Russell at Anderson; Pritchard at Greenville; Douglas for the Fifth district; Dupré for the Columbia district and the Sixth district. All these men are white men; a number of them are Democrats, and the majority of them are natives of the state. We think that this is a good record, and that, besides pleasing the they really have an interest in the government at Washington, the government itself will get first rate servicemen (S. C. News and Courier (Dem.) "The people—? Are you so coo-sure of that, Mr. Editor of the Charleston News? But I forget, that in your conceptions, the million of Colored people in your state are not really people! Well—Mr. Taft, what is your opinion as to this view? "All of the appointees are white men!" But please, Mr. Taft, is this a race government? "All of the white men's republic" advances further in its "exclusiveness." There is plenty of time before us. The nasty fling, in the insinulation contained in the assertion that the affairs will be well attended to by the "white men," ought to cause the blush of shame to rise on the cheek of the editor of the South Carolina Journal, its thinking readers and those to do it. "The white men" after the southern conception, based upon the "aristocracy" of skin! Dr. Crum's administration having been satisfactory in every respect, above suspicion, for all purposes a good one, this inuendo comes with bad grace, and simply proves the arrogance, hypocrisy, self-sufficiency, or meanness (you have the choice, reader) of the much-vauged gentleman" par excellence, the "professors" are boors by nature and education, of course! Yet, there are men among us—let me assure President Taft and his friends and admirers—there are men among us who would not have descended as low as this leader, which in other parts, by the way, shows a subservience that is promising for the day when this republic will have a full-fledged "aristocracy of office-holders" in monarchial parliament, bureaucracy. When this republic will take us at a pace that will land there early enough! The fling at the Roosevelt administration is noteworthy, at least, May Mr. Taft enjoy it with the rest of the nauseous stuff—sickening as "taffy" to adults of good taste! JACOB EGBERPH. (An old, upright Republican (white)->Editor. Well Answered... The secret of Dante's struggle through life was in the reckless sarcasm of his answer to the prince of Verona, who asked him how he could account for the fact that in the household of princes the court fool was in greater favor than the philosopher. "Similarity of mind," said the fierce genius, "is, all the world over, the source of friendship." Fighting the Slave Trade.

FAIRS AT WASHINGTON, IS GIVEN HIS PASSPORTS. MARINES LANDED AT ONCE United States. After Repeated Insults Heaped Upon It by Nicaraguan Disturber, Turns on Him and Moves Upon Country. Washington, D. C.-The United States has taken charge of Nicaragua. Marines have been landed and the regular army will follow. Senor Rodriguez, the Nicaraguan charge d'affaires at Washington, has received his passports from the state department. To show its intense anger at the conduct of President Zelaya, the message notifying Rodriguez of the severance of diplomatic relations is bitter with denunciation of a ruler that has seldom been equaled in the history of civilized nations. The personal feeling against Zelaya in the state department is astonishing to those who contemplate that department as a grave and judicial and diplomatic branch of the government. Zelaya Always a Disturber. Zelaya's regime is characterized in Secretary Knox's note as "a blot upon the history of Nicaragua," and he is charged not only with the unjustifiable killing of Americans, but with exercising a baleful influence upon Honduras discrediting Costa Rica, Guatemala and Salvador, keeping Central America in a constant state of turmoil, throttling the press and public opinion and imprisoning patriots. This government waives for the present the question of indemnity for the murder of two American citizens, out of deference to the long suffering of Nicaragua, but it will by force of arms hold the revolutionists and government responsible for the protection of American life and property. Demands New Government. For the purpose of insuring peace in Central America the United States government will demand of any new government that is to supplant that of Zelaya that it obligate itself to carry out the program of peace and the Root compact. The half dozen warships which have been stationed in Nicaraguan waters for over a week are ready for action. It is announced that the diplomatic statement made to the Nicaraguan charge that the United States is taking such steps as it deems wise and "proper for the protection of American interests," can be interpreted in its strongest sense. While war cannot be declared without act of congress, the executive has power, and it is his duty, to protect American interests and to keep faith with the South and Central American states in keeping the peace under the agreement of 1907. To do this, marines can be landed, and if they are not sufficient to accomplish the purpose, the executive may send United States troops. It is believed by officials that at this time there are over 2,000 marines on Nicaraguan soil. More will follow. Nations Give Support. Assurances of friendly support have been given the government by several foreign nations, and the warships of Great Britain and France, which have been hurried to the scene, will not interfere with the program which the United States has already outlined to those governments. The plans for operation, which have been most carefully formulated for several days, became effective upon the receipt of official advices from the seat of war, corroborating in every particular the reports of atrocities and indignities of which Zelaya was accused. It was made clear by state department officials that only one course was open to the United States when it received unquestioned assurances that Zelaya had been guilty, not only of murder of American citizens, but that he had acted with the full intention of insulting the United States' national honor. This he accomplished three high threatening the life of the American vice consul, Caldera; misrepresenting conditions, "willfully lying," suppression of official communications to the state department and censoring of other dispatches. Northwest Tied Up by Strike. St. Paul, Minn.—Every line of industry in the twin cities and all others of the northwest dependent on the movement of supplies, is seriously affected by the strike of the railroad switchmen. It is estimated that upward of 12,000 men are idle on account of the strike order, thousands of freight handlers and teamsters are losing time by reason of the freight blockade in the terminal towns, while a continuance of the strike for several days will throw additional thousands out of work. The railroad yards are filled with stalled freight trains. St. Louis & Frisco Line Sold New York City.—The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Co. of Iowa has sold and delivered to B. F.

Those who witnessed the splendid act of the "Ten Dark Knights" at the Hippodrome last week have been loud in their praise of the music and comedy it afforded. The scenery during the act was not only appropriate but beautiful, and like the performers in the company, was most enthusiastically received by the thousands of people in attendance upon each performance at the great theater, at last week. The act was a great honor to the veteran musician, leader and director, Professor Henderson Smith, gave one of the two best acts on the long and excellent program. It is really unique in many respects. The comedian of the company is exceptionally good. Thre is not a "slow" moment in the act. And O, that excellent solo, quartet and ensemble singing! Come The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, of which Dr. Ellis Dale is president, certainly had a hot time at its meeting Monday evening. George Johnson roasted treatment of the hands of the latter. So until pretty hot at times and for a short time it looked as if some of the members were coming to blows. The end is not yet. Some of the association members are among the officers of make it "a one-man organization." They threw a bombshell into the meeting with a team of three there were not a half dozen members that had the courage (to fight discrimination) that they boasted of, so Johnson says. Looks as if he (Green) is right, too. According to current rumors "Jim Crow" nights at the theater and the investigation into a delay of many months in Booker Washington's receipt of some twenty odd dollars sent by the organization through the "editor" of the "Toilet-paper," proved interesting as well as amusing, so Johnson says. A motion by Henryanks received "short shrift." They are "dark days" for him, apparently. When Turnkey Moulton of the Central police station testified before Judge Levine in police court Tuesday that Clarence W. Shields of 121 Hamilton avenue, arrested by Detective Wood Sunday, was intoxicated, therefore corroborating the testimony ofoodsman Michael W. Shields, who refused to believe that Shields was arrested trial Monday, the court, in finding the prisoner guilty, not only gave Chief Kchler's golden rule policy another hard rap, but also the detective force, intimating that the latter is drawing the color line. The judge imposed a fine of $25 and costs on Shields, excluding that he imposed so have fine for a simple case of intoxication because the prisoner had denied being intoxicated. He then suspended the fine because it was Shields' first offense. Then, by way of explaining why he had investigated so thoroughly Shields' case, and had refused to accept Detective Wood's testimony, he clared that there were hundreds and thousands of cases of intoxication when the police never brought before the police judges. He said he wanted to know why Shields was haled before him on a common charge of intoxication when so many other cases were involved. The judge ruled rule policy. The judge declared further that he thought some of the detections were drawing the color line and that there should be no such discrimination. If any one man was arrested for all crimes all men who got drunk should be arrested. So he said, where no record or waiver was made, that it was getting to be ridiculous. Won't be Gretna Green. Providence, R. I.—By the operation of an act of delay passed at the last general assembly, Providence and the rest of Rhode Island will drop the appellation "Gretna Green" and young couples lose the opportunity for speedy and quiet marriage. In substance the new act provides that marriage licenses cannot legally become effective until five days after they have been obtained. It is believed that the Providence marriage records alone will be reduced 50 per cent next year.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of Pomade makers since the turn of the century. Pomade makers make stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade requires the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two, to four bottles, regular size are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.

"Julius Caesar" Sent to Bed. At the British Authors' club banquet, in his honor, Lieut. Shackleton told an amusing story of a man who went home one night after dinner and took with him four or five others. "Come in, boys," he said, "and have a last drink." "But your wife might not like it," one of the party replied. "My wife!" was the answer; "I am Diana Caesar in my house." On entering they were received by the lady of the house with the words: "Oh, walk in, gentlemen; there is plenty of drink in the dining room. As for Julius Caesar, he is going to bed." That Single Thought. You've heard the old story of sweet wadded bliss, of the two hearts that flatter as one, and the two souls single-thought sealed with a kiss, and have wondered, no doubt, how 'twas done. As a wise one who was by experience taught, this effect we will briefly explain; in most of the cases that "one single thought" is: "I wish I was single again!" **Debut of the Green-Eyed.** Adam—I couldn't believe my eyes when I first beheld you!

When Willie's father came home to supper there was a vacant chair at the table. "Well, where's the boy?" "William is upstairs in bed." The answer came with painful precision from the sad-faced mother. "Why, wh-what's up? Not sick, is he?" (An anxious pause). "It grieves me to say, Robert, that our son—your son—has been heard swearing on the street! I heard him." "Swearing? Scott! I'll teach him to swear." And he started upstairs in the dark. Half-way up he stumbled and came down with his chin on the top step. When the atmosphere cleared a little Willie's mother was saying sweetly from the hallway: "That will do, dear. You have given him enough for one lesson."—Judge. TORE HIS SKIN OFF In Shreds—Itching Was Intense— Sleep Was Often Impossible. Cured by Cuticura in Three Weeks, "At first an eruption of small pustules commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so that I literally tore the skin off in shreds in seeking relief. The awful itching interfered with my work considerably, and also kept me awake nights. I tried several doctors and used a number of different ointments and lotions but received practically no benefit. Finally I set down to the use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ontment and Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks' time all traces of my eruption had disappeared. I have had no trouble of this kind since. H. A. Krutskoff, 5714 Wabash Ave., Chicago, IL., November 18 and 187." Actor (of provincial company)—Can you give me ten cents on account?

The engagement of Mr. Hiram Hardy and Miss Suzette Snarley is announced. It occurred the other evening at 9:45 on the red sofa in Miss Snarley's parlor. The young lady was dressed in black, and wore no ornaments. She did not look unusual/pretty, and what caused the young man's mental aberration is not known. Neither one could remember exactly what was said, and both admitted it was not the first time he kissed her.

LOST REGISTERED LETTERS FOUND IN QUEER PLACE Missed From a Mangled Mail Bag, They are Recovered From Car Trucks. It does not always follow that the disappearance of registered mail packages indicate a robbery of the mail. This was demonstrated on The Overland Limited train No. 2 Friday, November 5th, when a package of five registered letters from Schuyler disappeared between that point and Omaha. The recovery of the lost package was as strange as its disappearance. The Schuyler pouch is picked up from a crane by means of a pouch catcher as the train passes. This pouch catcher is attached to the mail car and hooks onto the pouch suspended from the crane as the train passes. In this particular instance the pouch catcher did not make a good catch and the pouch fell under the wheels of the train and was cut in two. The mail was scattered along the track for a considerable distance, but the five registered letters, which were in a packet, could not be found when the other mail was picked up. The impression at once prevailed that the registered package had been found and kept by some one and it was reported as lost. Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thompson was started out to investigate. His first visit was to Council Bluffs to make inquiries of the postal clerks on the car, and scarcely had he reached there when he received word that the registered package had been found by the car cleaner resting snugly on the trucks under the dining car, where it had been blown or thrown when the mail pouch was flung under the wheels at Schuyler. That the package was not injured in the slightest, nor jarred from its position on the trucks, is simply another tribute to the Union Pacific unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track. WERE STILL SUPPLIED. "Have you given some fresh water to the gold fish. Anna?" "No, ma'am, they have not finished what I gave them the other day." Country Neglecting the Children Country Neglecting the Children. If the percentage of tuberculous children recently ascertained by an investigation in Stockholm, Sweden (1.61 per cent.) were applied to the schools of the United States there would be 273,700 children between the ages of eight and fifteen who are positively affected with tuberculosis, according to a statement of the National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. As contrasted with this figure, there are only 11 open-air tuberculosis schools in operation in the entire country, and nine more under consideration. At the lowest estimate, even with all the schools now in operation and those proposed, accommodations will not be provided for four-tenths of one per cent of the children who need this special treatment. Purchasing Power A young gentleman of our acquaintance, who had just reached the age of six, was recently waiting with his mother for a train at a railway station, when he noticed a penny-in-the-slot weighing machine. He asked his mother a great many questions about ft, and at last received permission to drop in his penny and be weighed. Having obtained that important information, he said: "How much would I have weighed, mamma, if I had dropped in a dollar?" The Darky's idea of It. A correspondent of the Walker County Messenger tells this one: "A darky was on trial in the criminal court last week on a charge of bigamy. After the jury has returned a verdict of guilty Judge McReynolds remarked: "The best I can do, Crum, is to give you the minimum." "Lordy, mercy me, judge, don't do dat! I'd rather go to the pen," said Crum."-Atlanta Constitution. SECRET WORKERS The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates Coffee is such a secret worker that it is not suspected as the cause of sickness or disease; but there is a very sure way to find out the truth. A lady in Memphis gives an interesting experience her husband had with coffee. It seems that he had been using it for some time and was an invalid. The physician in charge shrewdly suspected that coffee was the "Worm at the root of the tree," and ordered it discontinued with instructions to use Postum regularly in its place. The wife says: "We found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctor's charge when we found how wise his judgment was. "The use of Postum instead of coffee was begun about a year ago, and it has made my husband a strong, well man. He has gained thirty-five pounds in that time and his stomach and heart troubles have all disappeared. "The first time I prepared it I did not boll it long enough and he said there was something wrong with it. Sure enough it did taste very flat, but the next morning I followed directions carefully, boiling it for fifteen minutes, and he remarked 'this is better than any of the old coffee.' " "We use Postmum regularly and never tire of telling our friends of the benefit we have received from leaving off coffee." Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pigs, "There's a Reason" Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time.

Foster-Milburn Buffalo, N. Y. Boy's Essay on Clothing. Here is an extract from an essay, written by a hoy in a London school: "Clothing is an article which everybody should wear. The least of this article is worn by savages or natives, which is a piece of cloth or a few leaves or feathers round the waist. in cold countries, same as Eskimos, the people wear more clothes than we do, count of the ley cold out there. They can skate all the year round, except about one thaw there is in summer. If they walked about like natives they would catch cold directly and die of bronchitis. We put clothes on which are nearly like our bodies, some have caps, coats and trousers, but women and girls wear hats and frocks to tell who they are." Pathetic Pride. Willie had had a tumble when he was a baby and his hlp was so hurt that ever afterward he was obliged to use a crutch. On one occasion, when his mother had bought him a new crutch of the latest and most approved style, Willie expressed his enthusiasm and delight in the roundest terms. "And oh, mother!" he explained, in conclusion, referring to a little friend of his who having the use of both legs had no need of crutches. "won't Johnny Knowles be jealous!"

John Wesley once asked his preachers, and straightway gave them the answer in a set of rules. Here is rule 4: "Warn the people among whom you are most of esteeming or loving you too much."
