The hat of English crape, shown in Fig. 1, is a perfect example of the milliner's art using this exquisite material as a means of expression. The entire hat is covered with crape, the brim made of narrow parallel folds. The crown has wide folds for its covering also a drapery of crape with a large buckle of dull jet, serve as a mounting for the pompon of down feathers and algrette mounted at the left side. In shape, this hat is graceful and of a kind that will not soon be out of style. Such shapes should be selected for mourning, as good mourning fabrics are very durable and will outlast the accepted periods of mourning, if well selected. English crape should be chosen, as it is manufactured to withstand moisture which is ruinous to crapes not protected against it. In this particular fabric, the English excel all other manufacturers and the great modifiers who specially design mourning use this crape. It is the most beautiful of the fabrics used for mourning. Silk grenadine is equally popular, although not universally recognized as first mourning. There is much latitude in the selection of fabrics, however, and many persons prefer grenadine to any other. The hat and veil shown in Fig. 2 are of this beautiful fabric. It is also of English manufacture, although the English send to various parts of the world—including America—for the materials necessary to make and dye both crape and grenadine. This material is manufactured waterproof. This is very necessary in order that the rain or snow may not spot the grenadine. One can easily test the material by immersing it in water. If properly made the dye will not run and the fabric will remain unchanged. Crape should be subjected to the same test. The crimp is not affected by water and its color remains unchanged. VISITING DRESS. This elegant dress is carried out in champagne saue cloth, and is a fitting princess, tucked under the arms. A band of braided cloth trims the lower edge of princess where the material is slightly draped, below this the skirt part is plaited, the plats being stitched down a few inches. A handsome braiding design surrounds the yoke of tucked silk, when is also trimmed with braid and small buttons. The sleeve is long, tight-fitting, and trimmed to match. Hat of black beaver, trimmed with a feather mount. Materials required: $6\frac{1}{2}$ yards cloth 48 inches wide. 4 dozen yards braid, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard tucked silk. Twenty-Inch Rope of Pearls. The fashion in length or a string of pearls has changed. It was once 14 inches, then 16; now the correct string must measure 20 inches. ```markdown ``` THE GAZETTE matts are pictured here made of the two long wear, crape and silk grenadine.

NOW THE ROBIN HOOD HAT Style That Divides Favor with What Is Known as the Prairie, of Felt and Suede. Millinery is one of the most important features in the toilette of the woman who wishes to be well dressed, and to-day the cult of the plain hat is as carefully considered as the elaborate, the subject being in inexhaustible as the budget itself. The craze for beaver still continues, but it is safe to predict that as the winter approaches black will lead the van,orned with cinnamon and royal blue ostrich plumes for visiting and velvet for morning wear. The Robin Hood hat is the latest shape to make its deb but carried out in this charming material. As will be remembered, the hat worn by the famous outlaw of this name was turned up on one side, had rather a high crown, and was trimmed with two long quill-like feathers. The smart mondale, although retaining 'the shape, has substituted a rosette of thasel and a tuft of breast plumage for the feathers. For traveling it will divide honors with the prairie hat, which is fashioned of felt and relieved with a band of suede of a contrasting shade.—From the Tatler. A Golden Feather. It can be made of an old quill from which the battered feathers have been stripped. Gold face is sewn as a scant ruffle on each side, the end being slightly pointed. You have no idea how effective this is on a fur turban. From this idea a departure into the realms of silver, bronze or jeweled lace can be made, and at little cost. This quill, with a band of braid or lace to match, will furnish sufficient trimming for a velvet or fur toque. **Shadow Lace.** This is new, and because of its unobtrusive pattern can be used in great quantities without fear of overdecoration. The pattern is woven in such a way that an uncertain shadowy effect is produced. It is especially lovely in black and cream. The black shadow lace is used over black net and a white satin underslip. The cream is effective over pale tints in evening gowns. Gobelin Green Again. The hats of this winter will again show that entrancing shade of green known as gobelin. It will be used in thick, short plumes and thick long ones, but not in ribbons or moire. A. Golden Feather Shadow Lace ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. BIG JEFFRIES HAS SURELY SLOWED-UP BIG JEFFRIES HAS SURELY SLOWED-UP HAS MUCH SURPLUS WEIGHT IT WILL WEAKEN HIM, TO LOSE AT HIS AGE. HE CANNOT WHIP JOHNSON The Concensus of Opinion of the Best Experts Who Saw Him in Cleveland Last Week—"Doc" Payne, the "Naps" Trainer, Says Johnson Will Win. Walter C. Kelly, one of the best and fairest sport-writers in the country, had the following in the Cleveland Daily Leader of Sunday last: "Many of us have good assurance in his exhibition stunt last Wednesday at the Grays' armory, this city. He showed wonderful lightness of foot for a man of his poundage, and he skipped the rope in a manner that would have put him in the spotlight. He also showed great power in his work on the pulleyweights and in his roughing stunt with Jack McCormick. In his shadow fighting Jeffries displayed terrific force, and, judging by the manner in which he let go some of his short drives with both hands, there is still tons of power behind his Jeff Has Surplus Weight. "But Jeffries carried so much beef on his breast and about his armpits that his hitting was to a marked degree retarded, and the snap that formerly characterized his blows was missing. His arms, which were always great, looked much more masse than ever to the wrist. They were also better with clean, with clean, lithe, sinewy weapons which I saw him use to such deadly advantage in that first great battle with Fitzsimmons. There was nothing there that historic night at old Coney Island but bone and clean cut muscle. "Jeffries has developed \immense bulk about those piston rod annihilators that sent the 'dangerous black smith" into the Land of Dreams that night. This has caused somewhat alarm. He does not travel with the speed and shot like velocity which Jeffries' smashes showed in those early fights. He Has "Gone Back." "During the course of his shadow-fighting in Grays' armory Jeffries rushed with every blow, and of course it would have meant immediate disaster to any man who might have met one of these blows squarely, for all the bulk and weight of the gigantic ex-bolter-maker went out with every dash. In the old days Jeffries just waited, and shot out one fist or the other, and the blow traveled with wondrous speed and precision. He countered so rapidly that even so good a boxer as Fitzsimmons could not land without suffering the shock of one of the terrific counters. Jeff Has Slowed Up. "We would have gained a much better line on Jeffries' speed and all around style if he had been permitted to box a few rounds with McCormack in Grays' armory. On what we did see in that shadow work, however, he was much slower than when he fought Fitzsimons, Sharkey and the other players. But while it was remarkably good for a man who had not trained to any extent for so long a time, was still far from being good. "Jeffries made a special effort to please his friends in his work here last Tuesday night, and the majority went away satisfied, but the fact remains that he has still a great deal of the hardest kind of work before him in order to enter the arena in perfect condition with this man John Can't Eight Eight Rounds. Can't fight eight rounds. "Jeffries, to save his soul could not traverse eight feet at top speed in the present condition against a good man. It might not be necessary for him to do so if opposed to any of the other heavyweights but Jack Johnson, for he might knock out any of them in a few punches. But Johnson is a big man, and one who is well equipped to defend the title he now holds. He has 208- to 210 pounds to back up rare skill, and wonderful speed, with a good assortment of snappy blows always at his command." The "Naps" "Trainer Says" "Johnson" "Doc." Payne, a wrestler and pugilist of national and even international reputation for years, and trainer of the Cleveland American league baseball club for several years, a man personally, acquainted with Jack Jeffries, had the following to say last week, after seeing the latter "work out" at the Grays armory, this city: "Jeffries didn't look good to me," said Payne. "It's all right to swing dumbbells and jump the rope, but that isn't fighting. Ball players sometimes show great speed on the road and prove themselves adept at hand ball or at punching the bag, but are lamentable failures on the diamond. I was greatly disappointed in Jeffries. His breathing was laborious, emphasizing the impression I had been given of his nasal trouble. He looked big and loggy to you. He looked big and loggy to will whip him in jig time. They told me Jeff was as lively as ever. That is foolish. He was plainly lacking in agility. Every effort he made appeared to be forced: made at the cost of a physical effort. The money I can bet will go on the black man when the big fight comes off." DONGS OF THE RACE Only 76 of the 167 members of "the Black Battalion," have applied to the "Brownsville" court of inquiry for reinstalment in the orgy. Abbie Mitchell, wife of Will Marlon Cook, is en route to the coast via Canada—in vaudeville. She is an exceptionally good soprano. Col. Robert R. Church of Memphis, Teenn, father of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C., is president of the Solvent Funds fund, an institution for our people of that city. One of the effects of disfranchising laws was shown in Atlanta, Ga., last week when the members of the city council were elected by only 299 votes. There must be 20,000 voters in that city. Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette fought to a draw in Paris, France, Saturday night. They each had won a battle previous to that date; one in this country and one in Paris a few months ago. St. Philip's Episcopal church of New York City has been sold for $140,000. The congregation will build a new church on uptown property purchased some years ago. Rev. H. C. Bishop is still rector. George W. Walker of Williams & Walker visited his wife in Chicago recently en route home to Kansas from Mt. Clemens, Mich., where he spent many weeks in search of health. He is much improved, though not well. Benjamin Tanner of Hopkinsville, Ky., has entered suit against the Pulman Car Co. for ejecting him after he had purchased a ticket for a berth. He was mistaken for a Negro. He alleges that in consequence of his treatment by employees he was forced to tell night in a day coach and that he had been ill, and suffered a relapse. That "Jack" Johnson is nobody's fool was demonstrated recently when the fight articles were signed, and he had embodied, that easy fighter may pick a judge and the promoters one in the coming fight. This was accepted by all. Johnson also placed a forfeit and not received the 60 cents on a dollar. This is not a new dividend, the last one being declared in 1883. Many persons have not received any dividend money. Johnson's bank depositors did not receive the 1883 dividend, write to the secretary of the treasury, Washington, D. C. The coming Jeffries-Johnson fight will net the winner $159,033.83, with the loser getting $108,583.33, and the promoters a clear profit of $107,333.33. This figures on the $101,000 purse, $250,000 for the pictures and $25,000 for the weather with no fight pictures is about the only thing that can prevent the above figures from coming out as pretty accurate. If the Johnson-Jeffries fight goes 25 rounds, the third man in the ring will not make the decision. Johnson believes that he should have a man of the race as one of the judges. He will be one of the judges to be at Afro-American. The champion demanded this at the meeting in New York, thus to insure justice to himself and to give satisfaction to the public. Should the fight end in a knockout, of course, the referee in the ring will do the count and the fight will end with the fight go to the limit, the vote of the three will decide the winner. Beam Committed Suicide Columbus, O.—John W. Beam, Lima attorney, serving a life sentence for the murder of Mrs. Estelle Maud Diltz, "white," his sweetheart, committed suicide by hanging himself in a cell at the penitentiary early Saturday morning. Beam occupied the upper cot. He tied a rope made from the sheet of his cot to the iron crosspiece, and jumped to the floor below. His neck was broken and death was almost instantaneous. The thud of his death joined John Diltz, Cuyahoga county picketboard, his cell mate. He yelled and awakened all the prisoners in the block and brought half a dozen guards. The door was opened and Smith taken out overcome by fright. The body was claimed by his wife, Mrs. Cassie L. Beam of Lima. Beam shot and killed Mrs. Diltz, with whom he had been "going" for many months and with whom he had become infatuated, because she worried him in several ways. He feared and returned her husband from whom she been separated a year or two. Beam was convicted of the crime largely on the testimony of the 12-year-old daughter of his victim, who saw Beam with her mother many times. Write to Gov. Harmon. Xenia, O.—If the race expects to accomplish anything we must support our own papers better. Many of our people do not seem to appreciate this fact, never realizing, apparently, that it is our papers that must be on the watch all the time and back the great tide of opposition which threatens to destroy about all the rights we still enjoy. We should do our part, especially not here in Virginia. It is our priority, therefore, to contend to sit still and permit conditions to grow worse and worse, particularly on account of our children.

Baltimore, Md.-When a state board of education met last week, it began the consideration of the case of the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith of Prince Georges county. The children are said to have Negro blood in their veins, and for that reason have been debarred from attending a school for white children in the county. The board of education of the county would not allow the children to attend, and Mr. Smith has been insulted in his attempt to berter before the state board. As far as is known, there has never been a case of that character in the local courts of the state. Consequently there is no precedent upon which the state board can base an opinion. It is declared that the children are as white as any other children, and if the board decides to attend the school courts may be called upon to decide what percentage of Negro blood debars a child from a school for white children in Maryland. Refused to Re-instate Sheriff. Springfield, Ill.-Gov. Dineen refused to re-instate Sheriff Frank E. Davis of Cairo, Ill., whom he ousted from office because he failed to do all in his power to prevent two horrible lynchings recently. The governor declared: "Mob violence has no place in Illinois. It is denounced in every line of the constitution and in every statute. Instead of breeding respect for law it breeds contempt for ennouch the police violence threatens the life of a prisoner. Under the sheriff the law has charged the sheriff with a penalty of forfeiture of his office to use the utmost human endeavor to protect the life of the prisoner. The law may be severe, whether severe or not it must be enforced."

Don't throw away your copy of The Gazette when you have done with it, but give it to some appreciative person whom you feel would be likely to subscribe or take it regularly, if they had a copy to look over and read carefully. Oblige the WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. EX-CHAPLAIN ANDERSON, M. D. Succeeded by a Catholic Priest The Regiment Practically All Protestants. "Washington, D. C.—President Taft's determination to NOT appoint any Afro-American to office is being rubbed into the latter "with salt and red pepper, mixed," so to speak. It is a part of his new southern policy." A more outrageous invention or elaboration (from a party standpoint) has never been resorted to by any president, Republican or Democrat. Recently, Taft appointed Rev. Joseph Kennedy, a Catholic priest, of Oregon, to the Afro-American Protestant regiment—the first to succeed Chaplin W. T. Anderson, who has been retired as the result of physical debility resultant from illness of long duration. Capt. Anderson and Chaplin Priolean of the Ninth cavalry were appointed from Ohio. The former at one time pastored St. John's A. M. E. church, Cleveland, and also studied medicine in India. If there is anything more the president can do to rub it into the Afro-American and "kow-tow" to the south, and the Catholic church, all can rest assured that he will do it as soon as he is asked to do so. He'll Be the "Fool." Alright! Chicago, Ill. — Some one who has been keeping track of the number of statements given out by Jim Jeffries has found this clipping from the newspaper files of 1908: Los Angeles, Dec. 25, 1908. "No, I won't fight Johnson. They have been after me for weeks, urging me to re-enter the ring if he whipped Bums, but I have retired for good and will never again. "Why. I'd be good to do it. Couldn't do it to myself or the public, either. I've been out of training for four years, and doubt if I could ever get into condition again to fight a championship battle." Lawrence, Kan.-W. T. Escoe, who built a beautiful home at the corner of Maine and Warren streets last year, is probably one of the richest colored men in Kansas, as is evidenced by the fact that his taxes for 1909 are $1,300. He works with a mason who pass readily for a white man and other comes to business judgment it is hard to find his equal. He has large holding in Oklahoma as well as in Kansas. Ohio Segregation Grows. Columbus, O.-For the first time in the history of the Girls' Industrial home at Delaware a woman of the race, Miss Bessie Glenn of Marysville, has been appointed teacher at the school. She will have charge of 107 colored girls. Miss Glenn was graduated from the Marysville high school and Wilberforce university. S. D. Webb made the appointment. Stewart In a New Role Findlay, O.-B. F. Stewart, a leading barber of Norwalk, Ohio, representing the Haines normal and industrial school, situated at Augusta, Ga., was here recently soliciting. This school, founded 26 years ago by Lucy Laney, who is now its principal, has been a major force in doing good work. It is one of the largest of the Presbyterian schools for our people in that part of the country. Fight for Your Rights! Detroit, Mich.-Justice E. J. Jeffries recently tried the Miss Emma Davis civil rights case against the manager of the Majestic theatre and told the manager that his own testimony was a practical admission of his guilt. Justice Jeffries assessed a fine of $50 or 20 days in jail. Shot and Killed Him! Lancaster, Pa.—Angered because his wife admitted she had too much affection for Charles Sweeny, an Afro-American, Harry Stuart ("white") shot him through the heart at Simontown, near Gap, Dec. 4, at Daniel Gates.

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. Ohio Afro-Americans will hold Gov. Harmon responsible for the segregation, in state institutions, that was born under and continues to grow during his administration; and not "the "superintendents and boards of trustees." A Catholic priest has succeeded Capt. W. T. Anderson as chaplain of the Protestant Tenth cavalry and President Taft, who made the appointment, is happy. Still there are members of the race who continue to try to justify such acts, and even praise the president. What for? For jobs, of course. And, thank the Lord, they don't get them. They are the "scullions" of the race, according to Bishop Henry M. Turner. President Taft hadn't room in his long, windy and wyndy message for even a reference to disfranchisement, lynching (mob violence), "Jim Crow" cars or any other national crime or shame that effects 10,000,000 Afro-Americans. We are not to be considered in any material and helpful way, as far as he is or ought to be concerned. The presidency of this country has gradually grown of less consequence to the masses of the people with each succeeding incumbent of the office, for years. There must come a change, if this government is to continue. If "The Black Battalion" is not finally pronounced guilty of the (mythical) "shooting up" of Brownville, Tex., three years ago, it will certainly not be President Taft's fault. His appointment, as secretary of war, of practically an unreconstructed ex-rebel who publicly boasts of his part in the war of the rebellion and that he is "an old time rock-ribbed Mississippi Democrat," though credited to Tennessee and nominally a resident of Chicago, seems to have "paved the way"; that is, if it can be paved. Brownville liars are again busy according to dispatches to the daily papers of the country from Washington, D. C. THE VILE "CLANSMAN." Tom Dixon's notoriously infamous "play," the "Clanman," is to be in this city next week at one of the theaters. The last of this week or the first of next, representatives of the play, will send local newspaper men to interview leading and prominent local members of the race for the purpose of stirring up a protest among our people that will be published in the local papers for the SOLE purpose of creating a local sensation and advertising the rotten "play." Do not be caught; do not be interviewed; do not be used in that way—to advertise the infamous "play"; have nothing to say, and whatever is done, keep it out of the daily newspapers. This is the best plan and it has worked well in other cities, disgraced by the mob inciting and pro-lynching "play," known as the "Clanman," the "Rev." Tom Dixon, a native and most prejudiced southerner's vile output. AN INVOLUNTARY CONFESSION OF BANKRUPTCY. In a leader, on the "Case of Patrick Cox," who had begun a five month's sentence in Ireland for man-slaughter, and for whom his friends in this country intervened to such a degree as to excite the sympathy of the United States government, the Chicago Examiner says: "The American republic has a double mission—to look after its citizens abroad and to intervene, when just, and protect, if necessary, those who have sought the freedom of its shores." "To look after its citizens abroad!" Why, yes, and by doing so to overlook the rights of its citizens at home, particularly the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," etc. etc. You can kill them, maim them, rob them of their property, disfranchise them, in open violation of the law of the land; aye, you can burn them alive, in this great (?) and strong (?) republic, if they are Afro-Americans and no mass meeting will protest, nor press nor politicians object. "Great" indeed is this "land of the free and home of the brave." When President Cleveland nominated Justice Lamar to the United States supreme court he was much criticised for choosing such an old man. Judge Lurton, whom President Wm. H. Taft has just nominated, is two years older than Mr. Lamar was when he was appointed. The objection of age is not the only one made against Judge Lurton of Tennessee. A Republican member of the senate judiciary committee has been reading the Tennessee jurist's opinions on the bench and he finds that they are those of an old-fashioned, rock-bound Democrat. President Taft's liking for old-fashioned Democrats must be getting on to somebody's nerves. He has one ("Jake" Dickinson, secretary THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1909. of war) in his cabinet already, also from Tennessee; and now it appears that the supreme court itself is not safe. If ever a "man" made himself a one-term president of this country, William H. Taft is certainly, surely doing so. He is making others than old soldiers and Afro-Americans sick of him. O, for the chance to vote in the fall of 1912? Taft's pusillanimous southern policy is even more disgusting than Roosevelt's back-down to the south after his dinner with Booker T. Washington, and McKinley's wearing a rebel badge while on a southern tour. Then, too, Booker's "familiarity" with McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft has not helped us any. The question is, Has it hurt the race? And, if so, how much? Think it over! THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. Once a little girl wrote this letter to the editor of the New York Sun: Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my friends say that there is no Santa Claus. Papa says: "If you see it in the Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth. Is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA O. HANLON. And the editor of the Sun, might man of invective and sarcasm, became "even as a little child," and wrote the following charming reply: VIRGINIA: Your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They will not believe except they see Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. You might get your papa to hire men to watch all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men see. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in this world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a vell covering the unseen world which not the strongest that ever lived could ever tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love and romance can push aside that curtain and view the picture, the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing so real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia—nay, ten times ten thousand years from now—he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

New York City.—Another bomb has been cast into the camp of the allied insurance companies by State Superintendent of Insurance William Hotchkiss. Following his report concerning the misappropriation of more than $1,000,000 of the funds of the Phenix Fire Insurance Co., that resulted in the finding of an indictment by the grand jury against George Preston Sheldon, the former president of that organization, he made public the result of a joint examination, by his department and that of the state of Massachusetts, with the result that he finds the capital stock of the American Credit Indemnity Co. of New York has been so seriously impaired as to have necessitated a reduction in the capital stock from $1,000,000 to $350,000.

SOUTH AWED BY OWN LYNCHINGS! DEMOCRATIC PAPERS ADMIT THAT THEY ARE A CLOAK FOR RACE HATRED. Frightened Now at Their Own Mob ocrats and Fear the Opinion of the Rest of the World. The lynching of Negroes for any or no crime by bands of irresponsible white rowdies has reached a point where the more thoughtful southern papers are asking if it is not time to call a halt. The law abiding majority have tolerated this form of rough vengeance for crime until they are virtually overawed by the white ruffians, who seem to think they have free license to kill anyone with a black skin. The Louisville Courier-Leader asserts that it must be recognized as fact that crimes, "punishable by death without trial if the accused is black," are winked at if the murderer is "white and prominent." The Vicksburg Herald tells of a Negro who was "hanged from a tree by the roadside near his home and his body riddled with bullets," because it suit against a white resident of that community who killed a cow belonging to the Negro," and of the lynching of another "in whose house an escaped chain-gang hand was run down and shot to death," though the owner was not present at the shooting and though there was no evidence "that he knew he was harboring a criminal." In view of such outrages as these the Herald pointedly asks that the fact of the existence of "g bad white" was not been too much overlooked. "Are there not in these wanton, wicked murders of defenseless victims the germs of grievances that are not 'supposed'—grievances that may not unnaturally be traced to retailory bloodshed? Need we seek further for a fertilizer which has produced so lush a growth of bad Neo-legro citizens?" But this is not the whole story of the evil. Out of our color line and the imperative demand for its main tenance, there has grown up a tolerance for—the virtual surrender of the majority of justice-loving, fair-dealing citizens to—a mob minority that stands ready at all times to use the color line as a cover for the base savage murder thirst. It is this triumph of the truths and cowardly mob element that tinges the future with despair. "What, it may well be asked by men of character and conscience, will be thought of us abroad? What will we think of ourselves, and above all, what will be the effect upon our white youth, if there be no check upon the poaching mania. It has been told that where a lawless, irresponsible men, made brave by night—that mantle of evil deeds—string up a defenseless Negro for causes that no stretch of mob code would justify; and with impunity, though the act revolts all moral sense. "Negro political and social inferiority, the fact of white supremacy in our electorate and its government, is not established, but a fact, established fact. It is now dispensed in EFFECT IT IS RECognIZED FROM THE PRESIDENT DOWN. The living, supreme question is to operate white government so that it will secure to all protection from the midnight mob to save society from the white scum who defile it. Unless we rescue the state from Negroism, stand mocked by the fruits of the white supremacy we achieved. "If the south would live true to her past, keep faith with a noble ancestry who scorned to do mean and base things to the defenseless, if her people would square their records with the eternal verities of truth and justice, they will stand up against the ruffly spirit that shelters blood-thirst behind the color-line."

The people of Managua, Nicaragua, are in open revolt against Zelaya, without check from the police. They crowded the streets and gave vent to unrestrained denunciation of the administration. The whole country is in a ferment. Zelaya is denounced on every hand, but he is master of the situation, and the people fear a wholesale execution of political prisoners as a parting shot. Five deaths resulted from the inauguration of the ice-skating season in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It is learned at Bluefields, Nilacragua, from an authoritative source that a reign of terror is being maintained in Managua and that not less than 500 persons, identified with political affairs, are in chains in the prisons. A Catholic society has been ordered to cease sending food to the prisoners, and these are in a fair way to starve to death, as they are allowed only two cents a day for food. Extension of American citizenship to Porto Ricans for those who desire, and without forcing it upon those who do not; is recommended for Porto Ricans by Gen. Clarence R.

KILL AND EAT CONGO NATIVES AT ORDER OF KING LEOPOLD DR. LESLIE. CANNIBALS MAIM EIGHT OUT OF TEN FOR BELGIUM RULER, SAYS EX-CHICAGOAN. CHOP OFF THE VICTIMS'HANDS Man-Eaters Bring in Amputated Pieces in Baskets to Get Rowards —Flee to Portuguese—Starve to Death—Horrrible! New York City.—That atrocities, including mutilation and enslavement, are still committed on the natives of the Congo by the rubber companies in the name of King Leopold of Belgium was the charge made by Dr William Lajgis, formerly of Clio, and now physician of the Baptist missions of the Congo states when he arrived from Africa. The doctor saw one child with both hands cut off, several children with the right hand chopped off, and knew that baskets filled with hands of natives had been delivered to the Belgian officers by the cannibal soldiers sent to hunt down rubber workers who had not turned in enough material to be accompanied by his wife and their 2-year-old son, Theodore Roosevelt Leslie, arrived on the Red Star liner Vaderland. "The Belgian officers send the native cannibals to hunt down the workers," said the doctor. "The soldiers kill their victims and eat them. Then it is understood that to prove they have killed a certain number (they bring in eight hands of their victims). So they bring them in by the basketful. Sometimes when their appetite for native flesh is satiated the soldiers merely cut off the hands of the natives—men, women and children—to use as evidence for their rewards. The natives then run loose in the woods and some of them starve to death. Slavery is a natural part of the natives' could up with that. They are in constant dread of their lives and run like deer from white men." Dr. Leslie has been in the Congo country with his wife 17 years. For 13 years he was in the Belgian Congo. Four years ago he was moved to the Portuguese Congo, across the River Kwongo, which is the dividing line between the two positions. No such atrocities have taken place there, for the Portuguese Congo, where he has spent little time in the Belgian Congo, he knows that the mutilation of the natives continues. "The report of the atrocities in the Belgian Congo have not been exaggerated," said Dr. Leslie. "They have been rather understated. The assertion that King Leopold has severed his connection with the rubber companies is absolutely untrue. The king owns at least 50 per cent of the shares of the rubber company. When raid the rubber does not come in plenty enough from the interior and the Belgian officers think the natives are shrinking, they send out cannibal soldiers and the blacks are slaughtered like cattle. The native soldiers take delight in the killing, of course. Being cannibals, killing human beings and eating them is their chief joy. Why, the natives are so demoralized that they are leaving their villages and feeling to the Portuguese authorities. They must make the Belgian officers to make one of the natives' own chiefs master in a certain territory. They give this man some kind of a medal, which he prizes highly. It is his insignia of authority and it makes him very powerful among his own people. The demoralization among the natives is so great they flee to the jungle at the approach of a white man. Those who have gone into the Portuguese territory are afraid every white man is a slave. They flee at my approach when I go to minister to their bodily wants. I now find it necessary to take a native guide with me and send him ahead as I approach a village to let the natives know my purposes." For many years, Dr. Leslie said, he and his wife lived at Mpangala Nllele, and they were the only white people residing there. For a long time he had considerable trouble with the "witch doctors," and it was not until his little boy was born that he was looked upon as a mortal. He was a man of great strength, he had been maimed and crippled in their fight against the rubber company there operating that about two out of every ten men he would meet in a day had lost either an arm or a hand. In order to further the propagation of his religion, and to help the missionaries, the doctor has translated the Gospel of Matthew into Aceyaka, a native dialect, and it will be published in Boston while he is on his vacation here. Dr. Leslie is a Canadian by birth, and received his medical training at Chang, and affirmed his training at Milford, Pa. he went directly to Africa. Little Theodore was born in Congo. He attracted much interest on board the Vaderland, because he spoke the native Congo, which, according to Dr. Leslie, is known as "Accycka." AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

Fifty People Are Injured in a Railroad Accident Near Greensboro, N. C. Greensboro, N. C.-Hurled from a trestle to a stream 30 feet below, three day coaches and two Pullman sleepers carried 14 persons to their deaths. The wreck occurred on the Richmond & Dansville division of the Southern railway, ten miles north of here. A broken rail is said to have been responsible for the accident, which in loss of life probably outranks all other disasters in the history of southern railroading. The train consisted of two baggage express and mail cars, three day coaches and two Pullmans. The locomotive and baggage cars passed the broken rail in safety. When the first day coach left the track the rail was torn to fragments. The trucks ground the ties for 200 feet. Then as the trestle was approached, the wheels passed outside of the guard rail. When the last coach, drawn at practically full speed, was on the bridge, the body of a forward coach was torn from the trucks. The five cars plunged to the creek and its banks. The couplings to the mail car broke. That car and all ahead of it remained on the track. Of the killed, all were southerners, most of them having resided in North Carolina and Virginia. Practically all of the 50 injured persons are also residents of the south. At the point where the first coach left the track the right rail was broken about 18 inches from a joint. The Norfolk Pullman fell into the water, while the Richmond sleeper, just in front, landed only partially in the stream. The most of the injured and killed in the sleepers were in the Richmond sleeper, which was totally demolished. The Norfolk sleeper fell on its side in the swollen stream, submerging many of the passengers. Of the dead, some were scalded and others were mutilated. PEARY IS GIVEN THE HONOR National Geographic Society Acclaims Him Pole Finder and Presents Medal. Washington, D. C.-The National Geographic society here publicly acclaimed Commander Robert E. Peary the discoverer of the North Pole and in recognition thereof presented to him a gold medal. In presenting the trophy to Commander Peary, Prof. Willis L. Moore, president of the society, who acted as toastmaster, prepared his sentences to refer to Commander Peary as "the man" who had won the prize. There was no reference to the claims of Dr. Frederick A. Cook and only a slight one to the polar controversy. All reference to that was covered in a few words by Prof. Moore. In presenting the medal he said the public never for a moment had questioned the veracity of Commander Peary's statement and also that the data of Peary's expedition had required no editing before it was presented to the National Geographic society.

AUTHOR OF RAINES LAW DIES New York State Senator, Noted for Liquor Tax Measure, Is Taken at Age of Sixty-Nine. Canandalgau, N. Y.-State Senator John Raines, 69, famous as author of the liquor tax law which bears his name, is dead at his home here. He served in the New York legislature in 1881, 1882 and 1885, and was in the state senate from 1886 to 1889, inclusive. In 1889 he was elected to congress and served two terms.

He had no weapons about him. He turned upon the officers and spoke his dis pleasure when they had finished. He told the court that one of the de tectives struck him and he was taken to central station and locked up. In discharging Walker, Levine sald: “Whatever the prisoner did was with- in his rights, and 1 would not _hest tate for a minute in trying the officer that struck him, for this was a time that he took a chance and s0 should be held to stand the consequences. If there is such @ thing as a golden rule it should certainly have been prac. ticed on the prisoner. He was en- titled to an apology.” (Reltictin Panama Piet. Washington, D. C.—President W.

A writer for the medical press states that coughing is responsible for the bursting of blood vessels quite frequently. A cough or cold means inflammation (fever) and congestion, and these in turn indicate that the body is full of poisons and waste matter. Simple relief, as found in patent cough medicines, and whiskey, often result in more harm than a cough or more congestion. A tonic laxative works well and here follows a prescription which is becoming famous for its prompt relief and thorough cures. It rids the system of the cause, except it be consumption. Don't wait for consumption to grasp its victim, but begin this treatment, which cures some in five hours. Mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup Take twenty drops every half hour for two hours. Then one-half to one teaspoonful three or four times a day. Give children less according to age. GOOD WORK IS LOVED WORK And Therein One Should Find the Contentment That Is Chief Part of Life. If a man doesn't love his work, he had better get something else to do. But the trouble is that such people will hardly love any kind of work. The trouble is in them. They lack intelligence. If they knew enough to know good work, they would soon learn to love it. The manual-training scheme has this in view—to surround the job a man is doing with such intelligence and taste as will make it attractive to him. "The man who is in love with his job gets more contentment out of life than any other," says Brander Matthews; and he gets a great part of his contentment in doing his work right. No man car, love his work who shirks. No man can be contented who is dishonest about his work. This is shirking or doing it negligent". So these things always go together—honest work, contentment and love of the job. AGONIZING ITCHING. Eczema for a Year—Got No Relief Even at Skin Hospital—In Despair Until Cuticura Cured Him. "I was troubled with a sevege tching and dry, serfy skin on my ankles, feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon saying: "I never saw such a bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up in despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applications of Cuticura Ointment. I continued its use, combined with Cuticura Soap and Pills, and I was completely cured. Henry Searle, Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 8 and 10, 1907." **Bacteri Drug & Chem, Corn.

Practical Fashions LADIES' WORK APRON. Paris Pattern No. 2269, All Seams Allowed.-Dotted or figured gingham, plain chambray, galatea, striped madras and even denim all develop well in this style. The apron will be found very useful while performing any little household duty, the square pockets either side of the front being convenient for holding dusters, and stowing away many little articles that are found out of place while tidying up the room. The pattern is in four sizes—32, 36, 40 and 44 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the apron requires 4½ yards of material 27 inches wide, or 3¼ yards 36 inches wide.

MISSES' PRINCESS DRESS. - Paris Pattern No. 3089, All Seams Allowed.—This attractive model for a misses princess dress is exceedingly stylish, both in cut and finish. It is made of cashmere in a pretty shade of light brown, but other materials, such as poplin, broadcloth and the checked woolens, may be substituted. The broad sailor collar in a hair-line stripe is trimmed with braid a shade or two darker than the material. A soft brown silk tie adds a touch of smartness. The open neck is completed by a removable chemisette of white pique. The pattern is in three sizes, 13 to 17 years. For a miss of 15 years the dress will require $9\frac{1}{2}$ yards of material 24 inches wide, $7\frac{1}{2}$ yards 27 inches wide, six yards 36 inches wide, $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards 42 inches wide or four yards 54 inches wide, with one-half yard of contrasting material 27 inches wide for contrasting and $9\frac{1}{2}$ yards of braid to trim.

Neighbors for Enemies. The saying of Anatole France that he who says neighbors means enemies gets strange confirmation from a big Chicago real estate man. This man owns several large apartment houses and is agent for many more. In his own houses it is an unbreakable rule that there shall be no neighboring, no making of friends and acquaintances among any of his tenant families, and at the first evidence of beginning friendships, even a speaking acquaintance, out the one goes bag and baggage who broke the rule. He said he had found from long, costly experience it was utterly impossible for women friends and acquaintances to get along in the same house, no matter how many floors apart. Once they became friends, then tale-bearing and all sorts of jealousies were sure to follow, until the strings of neighborly discord could be heard twangling in the whole house, from the top to bottom, from elevator boys to the janitor, all taking some side or forming a clique in the matter, and becoming as bitter, fierce and feudal as the Guelph or Gobblestone.—New York Press. SUFFERED TERRIBLY. How Relief from Distressing Kidney Trouble Was Found. * Mrs. Elizabeth Wolf, 368 W.

SAVE THIS RECIPE FOR COLDS "Mix half pint of good whiskey with two ounces of glycerine and add one half ounce Concentrated pine compound. The bottle is to be well shaken each time and used in doses of a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful every four hours." Any drugstaff has these ingredients or he will get them from his wholesale house. The Concentrated pine is a special pine product and comes only in half ounce bottles, each enclosed in an air-tight case, but be sure it is labeled "Concentrated." This is one of the best and quickest remedies known to science. Stated in Cold Figures It costs on an average about $250 to cure an incipient consumptive or to care for an advanced case of tuberculosis until death. If he is left in destitute circumstances without proper attention he will surely infect with his disease at least two other persons, and possibly more. Considering that the average life is worth to society in dollars and cents about $1,500, the net loss which would accrue to a community by not treating its poor consumptives in proper institutions would be, for each case, including those who are unnecessarily infected, at the very lowest figure, $4,250. On this basis, if the poor consumptives in the United States who are now sick were segregated from their families, and either kept in institutions until they died, or else cured of their disease, the saving to the country would be the enormous sum of $1,275,000,000. The Vacant Chair What sad memories linger around the old vacant chair. Sitting in the middle of the floor, with a plaintive look about its frayed and seemingly weary back, it brings back a tumultuous riot of sad recollections that time can never efface. Volumes of bitter anguish come to me when I arrive home in time to catch the milkman swiping the loose furniture around the place, and take off my shoes to avoid publicity, and strike my best toe against the rocker of the old vacant chair. Then, forgetting for the moment my unclad feet, I kick the chair on the other rocker. That is when the sadness and suffering that lingers around the old chair comes out with an extra edition and great chunks of gloom settle over me like a herd of ill-natured files—Oregon Journal.

HABIT'S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed and Hard to Break. An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power necessary to break a life-long habit would, if it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast, although it kept me constantly ill, until I tried Postum. I learned to make it properly according to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast, and care nothing for coffee. "I am no longer troubled with dyspepsia, do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me, so when I drank coffee." Look in pks. for the little book. "The Road to Wellville."

VA. SAVE THE COUPONS THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CANADA REAP WHEAT AND RICHES. Up in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the provinces that compose Central Canada have such a quantity of land suitable for the growth of small grains, which grow so abundantly, and yield so handsomely that no fear need be feared of a wheat famine on this Continent. The story reproduced below is only one of the hundreds of proofs that could be produced to show the results that may be obtained from cultivation of the lands in these provinces. Almost any section of the country will do as well. With the country recently opened by the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest of the great transcontinental lines to enter the field of the development of the Canadian West, there is afforded added ample opportunity to do as was done in the case cited below: To buy a section of land, break it up and crop it, make $17,550 out of the yield and $10,880 out of the increase of value all within the short period of two years, was the record established by James Bailey, a well known farmer within a few miles of Regina. Mr. Bailey bought the 640 acres of land near Grand Coulee two years ago. He immediately prepared the whole section for crop and this year has 600 acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats. The wheat yielded 19,875 bushels, and the oats yielded 4,750 bushels. The whole of the grain has been marketed and Mr. Bailey is now worth $17,550 from the grain alone. He bought the land at $18 an acre, and the other day refused an offer of $35 an acre, just a $17 advance for the time of his purchase. The land cost $11,320 in the first instance. Here are the figures of the case—Land cost, 640 acres, at $18, $11,320. Wheat yielded 19,875 bushels, at 84 cents a bushel, $16,695. Oats yielded 4,750 bushels at 28 cents a bushel, $855. Offered for land, 640 acres at $35 an acre, $22,400. Increase value of land, $10,880. Total earnings of crop, $17,550, together with increase in value of land a total of $28,540. It is interesting to note the figures of the yield per acre. The wheat yielded $33\frac{1}{2}$ bushels to the acre, and oats 118.7 bushels to the acre. The figures are a fair indication of the average throughout the district. Agents of the Canadian Government in the different cities will be pleased to give you information as to rates, etc. The Exception. In a home where the mother is somewhat aggressive and the father good-natured and peace-loving, a child's estimate of home conditions was tersely expressed the other day. While dressing the mother paused in the act of putting on her shoes and said: "I certainly am easy on shoes, I have worn these for four months. I don't know what you would do, John, if I were not. I am easy on everything." The little girl looked up from her dolls and remarked: "Except father."-Success. Every Little Bit Helps The lecturer raised his voice with emphatic confidence. "I venture to assert," he said, "that there isn't a man in this audience who has ever done anything to prevent the destruction of our forests." A modest-looking man in the back of the hall stood up. "I—er—I've shot woodpeckers," he said. "Everybody's Magazine. Anti LaGripne Remedy.

THEIR WEDDING JOURNEY. "Walter, when are you going to bring us that roast chicken?" "Why, you've already eaten your dinner, sir!" "Then bring we the check!" "But you've already paid, sir!" Resinol in Three Weeks Does What Other Remedies Failed to Do in Four Mouths. My baby's face was like a raw and bleeding piece of meat. I was at my wits' ends what to do. Medicine from three physicians and ointments recommended seemed to make the Eczema worse. Then another mother spoke of Resinol which I procured at once—remember I had no more faith in it than in all the rest I had tried—but I thought it would be wasting only 50c more. Never did I spend 50c to better advantage, for the first and second days I noticed a remarkable change, and now at the end of the third week I have my pretty blue eyed, rosy cheeked, cooping baby well again. I am safe in saying he is perfectly cured and the cure was surely something remarkable. Your Soap and Ointment did in three weeks what everything else I tried failed to do in four months. My baby was positively disfigured, now his complexion is all right again. Mrs. H. F. Clemmer, Sunbury, Pa. Fishing Extraordinary Representative Flood of Virginia tells a good story in which one of the characters was Gen. Rouben Lindsay Walker of the confederate army. On one occasion the general was waiting for his breakfast, and his faithful negro servant had gone to catch some fish for the feast. When the servant was away an unusually long time the general called to him impatiently: "Why don't you come here with that fish, Sam?" Sam in the meantime had caught a flounder, which is white on one side, with a whiteness that loks like raw fish meat. "All right, Massa Reuben!" called out Sam. "Ise comin' des ez soon eiz k卜ch de uvver haf o' dls here fish."—Washington Times. Now and Then. He is a capitalist now in an Ohio town, but he was not always thus.
