Mourning Styles BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY. All fabrics, whether selected for costumes or millinery, when one is in mourning, should be of good, substantial quality. All styles or modes selected should be quiet and unobtrusive and all workmanship faultless. Gowns and coats should be made in the mode but not in any extreme of the mode. Simplicity of trimming lends distinction to mourning apparel, as well as "finish," and in this word is held the secret of the most elegant and desirable results in the making of mourning clothes. Everything must be beautifully finished and trimming are most appropriate when they are placed to really or apparently finish the article which they adorn. A well made, plain gown of good material will last out the term of mourning if one follows the conventional rules which govern in this matter of time. A well made hat of properly selected material will outlast the prescribed term of mourning. Poor taste in dress or conduct is never so inexcusable as when one is in mourning. Our friends are not charitable when we make mistakes; they cannot be. Our mistake must be credited either to our sense or density. Certain fabrics have come to be recognized as belonging to and signifying mourning. Crape is appropriate for deep mourning, that is, mourning for a near relative, and should be used in millinery and as a finish for gowns. Nothing else can take its place. Next PRINCESS DRESS. Our model is in fine serge, but any other firm but not too thick material will answer equally well. The upper half is princess, with panel front and back reaching to the foot; the sitting is turned up with a hem about three inches deep; it is taped in the center at the wrong side; a pretty passometer about one and one-half inches in width is used for trimming. The vest is of tucked soft silk, with a box-plait up center front that is ornamented with tiny jeweled buttons. Collar and undersleeves of piece lace. Materials required: Seven and one-half yards 48 inches wide, six yards passometer, one-half yard tucked silk, three-fourths yard lace, four yards lining. to crape, silk grendaines are oftentest chosen. Nun's velling, uncut velutmourning silks and other fabrics having a deep, soft luster in pure black are available, but crape is, for first mourning, as nothing else is. Three fine examples of mourning hats are shown here. They are from an establishment which makes a special feature of this class of millinery. Its best examples are found in America as the best fabrics are made in England. In Fig. 1 a round hat which is part turban and part toque in outline is very neatly covered with crape and has the brim finished with tiny rows of folds set very close together. A beautiful crape vell is draped about the hat and falls from the back in flat plisse. An ornament of dull jet fastenings on the hat and serves to finish this exquisite example of a hat for deep mourning. An exquisite hat made of crape folds is shown in Fig. 2. Its only decoration is a large, beautifully rosette also made of folds, placed at the left side. This is worn without a vell for vellies are not worn by all members of a family in mourning. For those who wear mourning for an indefinite time, silk grenadine is usually chosen after the first mourning of crapa has been discarded. Some people wear it from the start and there is enough latitude in the matter to allow one to do this. Fig. 3 illustrates a beautiful hat and vell of this charming fabric. The edge of the hat is finished with a ruffle made of a narrow gauge ribbon with border woven in. A similar double ruffle is placed about the top crown. The veil is laid in folds and draped about the hat, falling from the back. It has a woven in border. A large rosette of the gauge ribbon finishes this design, which may be accepted as an ideal hat of this material. Time was when crape and grenadines were a luxury of the rich, for they were as fragile as they are beautiful. The process of crape-making changed over the years now among the most durable of all fabrics manufactured. Their fibers are practically impervious to water. Rain runs through but is not absorbed by them. In selecting the material it should be tested, otherwise it will be impossible for the purchaser to be sure of getting the waterproofed variety. Water is rufous to the fabrics that have not been made proof against it. The Low-Neck Gown It is unnecessary for a girl or woman to wonder whether she shall wear a dinner gown or one cut at the neck when invited to dine at the home of a friend. For without exception if the invitation has been given 24 hours before the time set she may wear a regulation, dinner frock without being overdressed. Incidentally, she may don the same thing even if she has been invited on the day of the evening set for the dinner. In any city a woman is always more certain of being properly gowned if her dress is cut low, even though she may have been invited "informally" It is a fad just now of hostesses to write or otherwise invite friends informally. Monograms on Table: Linen. The engaged girl who is leisurely, preparing her home and table linen may be glad to know that the mono gram is now worked in the center of table napkins instead of in one cor- ner, as formerly. To show it, the nap kin is folded in three folds lengthwise and then in three crosswise, thus bringing the monogram in the center of a square as the napkin is placed on the table.—Vogue.

No colored citizen should have any doubt as to the attitude of the pres ent administration relative to the vital questions which concern the future welfare of all the people. The color line is as much in evidence in the White House of the nation as it is in any capital city in the southland. The census bureau has just announced through the Associated Press that colored census enumerators will not be permitted to count of white people, but it fails to add that white census enumerators will not be permitted to act in cases of colored peo T.

It would have supplemented its instructions along the lines indicated. But we have a Republican president, a Republican of the United States are being treated to an object lesson which will convince the most skeptical that a Republican amounts to about as much as a Democrat and a Democrat to about as much as a Republican when we consider these latter-day dissertations of the Constitution. Come when we can afford to support a Democrat with justice loving proclivities with a far greater certainty of securing that recognition to which we are entitled than we can some of these "tenderfooted" Republicans, for ridicule from southern Republicans, to grow a growing prejudiced element in the districts of the north and west. - Richmond.

Recently the city of Cairo disgraced this state and this country by a most bloodthirsty exhibition of lynching and an exhibition of cowardice on the part of a shifr who dismissed him from office. The grand jury ordered to investigate the disgraceful affair and fix the blame failed to find a single indictment. This open disregard of law and justice led to a scandal. But the grand jury was not content with negative offense. It reported that the mob which killed William James and Henry Salzner was not a mob of hoodlums, but comprised of the people Cairo disgraced in its avalanche of the mob's crime and added that no important person had suffered. For a grand jury to thus condone murder and apologize for the murderers is an insult to Illinois (toy, for instance, to show respect for arduity, if there is any possible means of punishing the grand jury which has become accessory after the fact the decent people of Illinois will be in motion. - Chicago Daily Journal.) Left $150,000 and: No Heirs. Pittsburgh, Pa.—An aged Afro-American, crippled and with one arm, was found dead in the Liberty. Avenue Mission House here; he was the police. He had been a miser, but no one suspected had threw him back into his wife with him, indicating deposits of over $150,000. These deposits are in five different banks and trust companies, and it was through these valuable documents that he was identified as W.H. H.

WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT FIGHT "Jacke" Christmas at Home, His Biggest and Happiest Day—Presents for His Relatives—Some of the House Furnishings—$500 Diamond Earrings for His Wife. Chicago, IL Champion, "Jack" Johnson has found another reason for winning his battle with Jeffries next July. The big fighter has just learned what it means to have a home, and he says the memory of the holiday week spent with his family will help him when he gets into the ring for the greatest battle in history. "The week, December 26 to January 1, was the happiest in my life. I never really know what it was to live before. I have been a poor man all my life, but I have been lucky to have books like real life to have all the money I want. But the real goods got to me when I reached home for Christmas the day after and found my dear old mother waiting for me. When I got to making money I got to thinking of mother way down in Texas and I earned a rest for the balance of her life, so I bought a house in Chicago for her. It cost me $11,000, but if it cost ten times that it wouldn't have been too good for her. It is as fine a home as any colored family in Chicago has, and I have, and I want to tell you that the biggest day and happiest day of my life, was when I got here and found mother living like a lady with nothing to worry her and no work to do. That night when I was alone in my room, I just sat down and cried. Yes, sir; I'm a fighter and the champion fighter of the world, but I cried like a baby that night. I was home all that week and it is the first time I ever had a home. There's nothing like it, and I'm going to keep it. I am going to keep it in my bed with Joffries than I ever wished for Joffries than I ever was before in my life, and I am going to win: When I get in the ring for that fight I'm going to think about the week that I've spent in my own home, with mother, and I'm going to heat Joffries, for that money to keep that same home as long as I live." This is what happened on Johnson's arrival here, December 26. He drove up to his mother's home, at No. 3344 Wabash avenue, in his new $10,000 automobile. He got out, valued at $10,000 of his mother's $11,000 home, removed his mink-lined overcoat and soaked cap, embraced his parent and mingled with hers a few real tears. He stopped out into the living room and kissed his 6-year-old nephew, named for him, who was playing with a $10 toy automobile and a $10 toy bus. He walked into the kitchen, opened the door of the new $150 gas range and took a sniff of the 20-pound turkey and the canvassback duck that were being roasted in expectation of the event. He walked up the wuthut stairway to his wife's room and the room was filled with monedar earrings that didn't cost a cent less than $500. He walked down into the reception room and opened a bottle of Pommery See with his manager, while they discussed Johnson's $1,500 a week theatrical engagement. He received a delegation of newspaper clippings and photographs. Then he sat down to a table laden with silver and cut glass and ate a bountiful turkey dinner. And following this Jack Johnson, world's champion pugilist, stretched his six foot and 220 pounds of solid gold over his shoulder into his new $300 dauntport and took a well-carried nap. As for Mrs. Johnson, the mother, she was too much occupied with her son to think about the coming great event of the age. There was real joy in her life, in her fighters, and she never let him get out of her sight all the time he was in the house. Mrs. Johnson is a typical Southernner, big-boned and sober faced. It takes only one glance at her to see that it is from his mother. She was persuaded with difficulty to talk about the coming fight, but when she did talk she was emphatic. "Win the fight?" she asked. "Why, hell knock that white man's head off," Johnson himself had to be prodded into talking about the battle. He preferred discussing other subjects. BACK TO THE OLD JOB! Though He Killed a Man and Served Ten Years in the Penitentiary. Houston, Tex. Charles Griffin, an Amherst Afro-American, who for ten years has been serving time in the Texas pentagonal, is coming back to take up his work with his old employers. Just as if nothing had impaired his ability, and a place is held for him with the firm of W. L. Macatee & Sons. Sentenced to serve a term of 25 years for killing Charles Blaylock ("white"), the old man was never forgotten by his white friends. New evidence was discovered. The ladies of the Macatee family remembered the care with which he worked the children. For years the work has been in progress to secure his release and he is expected back this week. For many years before the killing of Blaylock, Griffin had been a trusted officer in the showing, a dozen years ago. Griffin was acting as night watchman at the Macatee cotton yard on Washington street. During those days the neigh- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. CLEVELAND HISTORIOAL EQUITY horbory was one of wild scenes at night and Blaylock, who made up his mind to enter the precincts of the private property, was asked to leave, but shot the old man. Griffin returned the fire in self-defense. Both were wounded, but Blaylock died. Upon the theory that Griffin was killed in him even to the point of death, members of the Macacete family have never forgotten him. In prison for ten years he has known all the time that powerful influences were at work in his behalf. Some of the Afro-American witnesses to the shooting affray told more and sword to their amplified statements after only been permitted to answer questions put to them and therefore were compelled to withhold some of the facts. The new evidence was shown to be true and was presented with all substitution to the board of pardons. "We have work for that old man right here," it was explained from the Macacete warehouse. We have worked a long time and his place has been kept open. We believe he gave his blood and his liberty to a trust we placed in him more than ten years ago and we have not forgotten it." FOOL-AMÉRICAN FINED! Must "Treat All Alike" in Cuba, Says Government Organ—"Vive Maceo!" Havana, Cuba. Americans who are prejudged on account of color, and who are seeking to carry their prejudices to Cuba, will find that this is no place for it or them. The disgraceful action of the fool American barrio properly at the Hotel Plaza, in refusing to serve two AcooCuban Congressmen unless they paid $4 a piece for drinks, has created such a bitter feeling here, generally, that there will be no repetition of it soon. Gen. Antonio Maceo. even by foot-Americans. The clerk of the hotel was arraigned in the Correctional Court and fined $70 and costs. He was almost mobbed by a crowd. At first it was thought that justice was necessary, but the police reserve. At the trial of the case a large crowd, including a strong representation of the Veterans' Association, attended and demanded exemplary punishment. Senior Morua Delgado, President of the Senate and leader of the AfroCuban element, conducted the prosecution against him. The penalty $1,000 fine and six months in jail. The decision of the court to inflict a minor penalty was greeted with strong expressions of disapproval. After it adjourned, the two Congressmen, heading a procession of 400, marched to the hotel crying, "Vivaico Vi La Palma!" they ordered the demanded drinks, which were served with no permission. The Trunfo, a newspaper organ, published a bitter editorial, declaring that all blacks and whites in Cuba are on a plane of absolute equality, and that "The Americans have the strongest arm of the law that they shall not be admitted to introduce into Cuba the disgraceful anti-Negro sentiments prevailing in the United States." President Taft's "Lip-Service." It may be added that President Taft is injuring his party here, as well as in the West, by his inade- mence of the North than in the South, and his evident hunch toward the presi- sions of the South to keep the Negro voters and the Negro soldiers down. The secret inquiry at Brownville is watched with intense feeling by whites as well as Negroes at the north, and the effort to undo the great threat of the human mind to pay the service to his memory, is rife in the Republican hate, which squeaks and is silent instead of sounding a full note. The Lee statue incident is attracting more attention, and will so con- gure do until Virginia gives up folly to the North, and to give up her disunion folly, after seeing the Old Dominion divided, and her prestige in our politics destroyed. Her idea of state rights is the same now as when her insolent Senator Mason forced his fugitive slave bill to be passed.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O. January 15, 1910. 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. The editor of the New York Age would be "an amoosin" cuss" if his racial political optimism was not so dangerous. Such talk is both silly and harmful. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of the usual "check" from Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the United States treasury for "355 Happy Days" in 1910. Same to you, sir. Is it possible that fool Americans have at last found a place, Havana, Cuba, into which they cannot carry their baneful and silly racial and color prejudice? It would seem so. Read our Havana letter elsewhere in this paper, "Vive Maceo," Delgado and their kind of members of, Colored races, the world over. President Taft's "new southern policy" is to be worked overtime in the case of Afro-American census enumerators in the south. See Washington, rather elsewhere in The Gazette. If there is anything else, he can do to humiliate and insult our people, we may rest assured that the president and his subordinates, with his full approval, will unearth it from time-to-time. A large Baltimore, Md., Afro-American mass meeting which ex-attorney General Bonaparte of that city and others addressed last week, Monday night, refused to pass a resolution of thanks to President Taft for what he said in his recent message to congress anent the Mj. R. J. Wright-Dr, Booker T. Washington Negro exposition for 1913. Good! Thus our people move to encourage our people to look up to encourage our worst president, Republican or Democrat, as far as our race is concerned, since the war of the rebellion. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from Dr. Booker T. Washington to attend the annual Tuskegee, Ala., Negro Conference to be held on the 19th and 20th of this month. We regret exceedingly that it is impossible for us to be present "as a guest of the institution." The conference is certainly an excellent thing, and cur people of various parts of the south, especially where they are so numerous, should emulate the example set by the Tuskegee annual conference inaugurated and continued by Mr. Washington. A most pathetic case indeed is presented in our Houston, Texas, letter, elsewhere in this paper. An aged Afro-American forced to serve ten long years of a remaining short life in that state's penitentiary for killing a "white" trespasser, in defending his life after he had been seriously wounded, and in defending valuable property left in his care as nightwatchman. This case illustrates a most severe manner the woeful lack of care for our people in the courts of the south whenever an Afro-American and a "white" person, however low and degraded, are pitted against one another. It pays to have a fearless race advocate like The Gazette, the "old reliable". It, and it alone, has whipped the prejudiced, pin-headed local political leaders ("white") of the new city administration into giving a few Afro-Americans petty jobs, and it will keep up the fight until members of the race better ones—something decidedly nearer to what we are entitled to than those given in recent weeks. We want and are entitled to BETTER places than those requiring the handling of brooms, cupidores, boxes; barn, market and park refuse, etc. The only half-way class job given a local Afro-American to date, is a clerkship in the/water-works department. All the rest are medicores or worse. No Afro-American has fared as well as Benny Srolutis, a Jew, who boasts of being the political "boas" of the Twelfth Ward Afro-American Bachrats. A dispatch from Washington, D.C. to the daily papers of the country, recently, announced that plans for a federal department of education to replace the present bureau, raising the work to cabinet dignity, are to be urged on the house committee on education, at this session of congress. Let our people follow this effort with intense interest and with an eye to our benefit. For, if a federal department of education, on a par with other cabinet offices, is created, the Afro-American would have a chance to force certain southern states to give our children a better chance for education than the state laws provide. Therefore, let our leading men at the nation's capital and elsewhere, especially those in the educational work, learn all they can about the house committee on education and get in touch with its chairman, if possible, without exposing our purposes and private plans. RIGHTEOUS PROTECT! the United States immigration commissioner's classification of Hebrew or Jews as such regardless of from what country they come and are natives of, a Jewish publication of New York City, is quoted in the Literary Digest of a recent issue, as saying: "There is an implication, in the American Constitution, that no distinction should be made with regard to either race or religion, and it is not clear why it is ried out even in statistical inquiries. The insistence upon a man's race or religion is so opposed to American institutions that even though it would be convenient to know our numbers officially, the disadvantages, moral and political, are so obviously great that we should be taken, and has been taken, against the continuance of the practice. "Extreme nationalists may protest that, after all, Russian Jews are different from other Russians, but this line of argument would lead to all Russians being treated differently in the details of nationality, for, after the Finnish Russians are different from other Russians, and so are Crimean Russians. Italian Swiss differ from French and German Swiss, and so it would go on throughout Europe if the division of the population were recognized in the census of immigrants or elsewhere." And the Jewish writer is right. The fact is that prejudice against the Jew in America is at the bottom of the unfair and unjust classification complained of, just as that against the Afro-American is responsible for all kinds of the same sort of things in our case, in this country. However, there is even less excuse (not based on a miserable prejudice) in our case than in that of the Jewish immigrants. Some day the so-called leaders who will wake up to this and other more important matters of vital racial interest, and become as active in behalf of all our people as the Jewish leaders; in New York City, very commendably are for their people. ONE SHERIFF! In an altercation at Belleville, Ill., recently, an Afro-American killed a street car conductor. Emulating the example set at Carlo, in the extreme southern part of the same state (practically Kentucky), "a mob of Belleville's best citizens" was gathered and haranged. Word was then sent by it to the sheriff that it was coming and for him to be ready to hand over the keys of the jail, and of course the prisoner, too, promptly, upon its arrival at the jail, as is the custom in Cairo and other southern, and some northern cities and towns. Instead of "spiriting" the prisoner away to some other city or county jail for safekeeping, Belleville's sheriff swore in sixty deputies and distributed to each fifty rounds of ammunition, placed in the jail, telegraphed the governor to have them sent, and made other preparations to receive the mob "in proper style." All this undoubtedly largely influenced by Gov. Deneen's removal of the Cairo sheriff for a failure to do these things. After disposing of these preliminary precautions Belleville's sheriff sent this many message to the mob of "best citizens": "I Am Ready and Waiting." "I Am Ready and Waiting." The mob saw the point at once. The leaders were not slow in comprehending that this was not to be the usual bloodless "victory." It was apparent that this sheriff was not only protecting the prisoner; but that he meant to uphold the majesty of the law. This, of course; was more than the "best citizen" mob had bargained for, so the lynching party "quietly dispersed" and all is truly "orderly in Belleville." It is to be regretted that the press of the country will not give this most commendable action of Belleville's sheriff the publicity it deserves; not so much to praise him as to encourage other like officials to do their DUTY, especially in such cases, in the interest of law and order and out of a righteous respect for the majesty of the law that must prevail generally. If the mob in this country is to be done away with to the mju- Editor Harry C. Smith of The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio, in a recent issue of his paper boasts that he did not vote for either Taft or Bryan; he is congratulating himself. Well, who did he vote for? Perhaps for Debs.—If indeed he did, we are congratulating him. We voted for the Prohibition candidate, because he saved the life of an innocent Afro-American who was fleeing from a Springfield, IL, mob of "white" brutes while the candidate referred to was addressing a public meeting in that town. That MAN dared the mob to come upon the stair to get the Afro-American who had sought and found refuge there. We had intended to vote for Debs (since we could not "stomach" the prejudiced south's allies, Bryan and Taft), until the incident occurred, referred to above. Then, we urged all, the manly self and race-respecting voters of the race to show appreciation of an act too seldom repeated, and vote for the Prohibition candidate, for president of the United States. Haven't we a right, and good cause to "bonst" that we "did not vote" for either Taft or Bryan," both of whom have openly showed more respect and regard for foul-mouthed Ben. Tillman and southern democracy, than for the vital interests of our entire race? We think so, and believe the editor of our esteemed contemporary, The Freeman, agrees with us, too. His editorial, republished elsewhere in The Gazette today under the head, "Politically. What of the Night." Is excellent and has the right ring. Keep it up, confere, until after the next presidential election, and our "agitation," which will really be education, will do much "to solve the problem" that editorial makes clear. We have been "at it" for years, and take some credit to ourselves for the very excellent showing Ohio's Afro-American voters made in the fall of 1908, when fully three-fourths of the return to vote for "Presidential Candidate Taft," sleeps in campaign of education and in 1912, the great mass of our intelligent voters in the north, at least, will know their duty—what to do—and will do it like MEN.

The exclusive field of human life, with its wealth of material, stranger, more fascinating than any fiction ever named, is covered by but one publication, and this is "Human Life." Its pages are an epitome of the vital history of humanity, not merely with such a field, no definite program for 1910 can be prearranged. At the threshold of the year who can tell what great events are in the making on the loom of Time, what vast discoveries, what revolutionizing inventions, what co-creation of the world, and every one of them stands some man or woman whose brain and hand and unique personality make possible these things, and it is the intimate and wonderful life stories of these people that will fill the pages of "Human Life." The present Alfred Henry Lewis will continue his enlightening series on President Taft and the inside history of men and affairs at the nation's capital. Vance Thompson will be to the fore with an illuminating article on James theodor Ostrater, his residence in New York, and for getting at the inside facts in the matter.

MANIAC FIRES FIVE SHOTS AT COASTERS KILLS ONE AND WOUNDS AN OTHER HARLEM, SCHOOLBOY AFTER BEING TAUNTED. MURDERER THEN RUNS AWAY One Hundred and Fifty Policemen and a Posse of Citizens Are Scouring the Country for the Mad Man. New York City. Skulking along the snow covered roads or through the woods and bushes along the Harlem river or perhaps meddling wholesale shanghai in the town town section, a black bearded manne, who shot to death a schoolboy and seriously wounded another, is attempting to elude 150 special policemen and a posse of citizens. Armed with an automatic revolver, the manne fired five shots into a crowd of Harlem schoolboys who had been taunting him. Robert Thomas, six, was shot through the heart and died instantly. Arthur Shirley, also six, was shot through the left lung and was taken to a hospital. Half a hundred children just freed from school were coasting in the woods while a group of grown ups stood watching the "sport." Among them was the man with the black beard. He drew away from the crowd and edged up the side of the hill. Just then down came little Arthur Shively on his sled, whoping a caution to foot farriers. His sled halted on a bare spot and as he stood up the madman whipped out his pistol and fired. No oke can be found who saw the shot fired, but it was delivered at such close range that the boy's sweater was searched. The boy shrieked and fell and in the subsequent excitement everybody apparently thought of the boy and nobody of his assailant. It was some moments before a policeman arrived and a small boy tugged him by the skirts of his coat. "He's up there," gasped the boy, "and he's shot another boy." On the edge of the woods they found Robert Lomas dead. 30 DIE AS STEAMER STRIKES Crew Perishes in Gale as Crowd on Shore Sees Boat Tossed by Terrific Seas. Marshfield, Ore. The southern Pacific streamer Czarina, which left Marshfield for San Francisco, Cal. has a total wreck on the north split of the Coos Bay bar and 30 lives are believed, lost. K. H. Kentzell, first assistant engineer, was washed ashore alive. The steamer left port in a gale. Tremendous seas were breaking over the bar as the Czaria attempted to pass into the ocean. Those on shore, who had gathered to watch the departure of the boat, were starched to see the Czaria sweeping toward the north spit. The engines apparently were disabled. The disabled vessel pounded heavily, while great waves swept over het. The crew crowded into the rigging and made freight gestures for help, while hundreds on shore, among them C. J. Mills, manager of the steaming ship company, whose son was starched to sleep, were compelled to stand idly by and see man after man washed overboard. So rough was the sea that all efforts of the life saving crew to launch a boat were in vain, while attempt to shout a life line across the vessel also failed. RURAL DELIVERY BETTERED Year's Work in This Field Is Set Forth in Report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. Washington; D. C. The most interesting part of the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General P. V. De Graw, just made public, tells of the extension and improvement in rural delivery during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909. The report says in part: "The number of petitions for rural delivery service filed during the fiscal year aggregated 3,375, a decrease of 688 from the previous year. Of the petitions filed 2,108 have been accepted for investigation, and 361 are still under consideration. On June 30, 1949, the service was in operation on 40,628 routes, and 40,499 carriers were employed. During the year 1,415 new routes were established; four routes discontinued prior thereto were re-established; and 68 routes were discontinued, leaving the net increase in the number of routes in operation 1,357. The number of new routes eschewed by the carriers was established during the previous fiscal year. "There has been unprecedented improvement of the condition of roads traversed by rural carriers, due to the intelligent and well-directed interest of nostrasters and carriers." Paulhan Flies Mile High in Biplane. Los Angeles, Cal.—A pink faced little Frenchman chipping on a flimsy frame of wood and metal, covered with white silk, mounted nearly a mile above ground, at the internal midwinter aviation tournament here and before a madly cheering multitude of 40,000 flying machine enthusiasts broke the world's record for altitude attained in an aeroplane.

"Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible ceaemia, being a mass of roses from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture from itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Remedies. After the first birth with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enjoyed the first good sleep during my entire illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about the house entirely cured, and I was able to go to bed. I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies as I know what they did for me. Mrs. Edward Nonling, 1112 Salina St., Watertown, N. Y. Apr. 11, 1909." Asking Too Much. Harvard Scored It was the morning of the Yale-Harvard game at Cambridge, and two of the New Haven collegians were wandering through the Harvard yard, looking at the university buildings. Down a walk toward them came a youth of serious aspect, but palpably an undergraduate. "I beg your pardon," said the Yale man, who is a bit of a wag, to the stranger. "can you tell me where I can find Harvard university." "I'm very sorry," said the serious one, with never a smile. "They've locked it up. You see, there are so many Yale men in town."

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgie headaches for 12 years," she says, and suffered untold agony. When I first beached to have them I weighed 149 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I want to many doctors and they have me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman told me to use Postum. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but not go fast as at first. My headaches began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks — long enough to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Since I began to use Postum I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum I never went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as a bell. My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Read the little book "The Road to Wellville" in pikes. "There's a Reason" Ever read the above letter?

With ample statistics confirmed by thorough personal investigation and observation, Prof. R. R. Wright, formerly of Savannah, Ga., now editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder, in an address at Washington, D.C. last week, before the American-Negro Academy, proved that the claim that the race is "better off" in the South, was true. In contrast, no less false, he showed is the assertion that Negroes cannot find work in the trades on account of the opposition of trade unions. This important matter was dealt with fully and decisively. He also riddled the statements as to the inability of the race to stand the Northern climate and the stress of city life. He also excluded the material acquisitions and opportunities of the race in the North, especially its present standing and prospects in mechanical and professional pursuits.

There are several others claiming to have small jobs of one kind or another who had not been appointed in any public way before The Gazette want to press on Thursday. All, simply show the Bachtr-Maschie determination to keep people out of clerkship and better positions just as they have done and are doing in the county recorder's office. Thus far our people have been given "the shadow for the substance." That is why why "Braiser, was made of the alabaster blower (BOXHEAVER) at the city hall, and his political boss, Benny Srulovis, the saloonkeeper at Central and East Twenty-eighth street, was made superintendent of catch-bass at a salary of about $2,000 a year.

AWAKE TO DANGER Immense Amount of Money Spent Last Year In Fight Against Tuberculosis. A report issued recently by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis shows that for the treatment of tuberculous patients in sanatorias and hospitals $5,292,289.77 was expended during the year 1909. The anti-tuberculosis associations spent $75,839.56, the tuberculosis dispensaries and clinics $640,474.64, and the various municipalities, for special tuberculosis work, spent $1,111,967.53. The anti-tuberculosis associations distributed the most literature, spreading far and wide 8,400,000 copies of circulars, pamphlets and printed matter for the purpose of educating the public about consumption. The health departments of the different cities also distributed more than 1,056,000 copies, which, with the work done by state departments of health, brings the number of pieces distributed during the year well over 10,000.000 The largest number of patients treated during the year was by the dispensaries, where 61,658 patients were given free treatment and advice. The sanatorias and hospitals treated 38,758 patients, while anti-tuberculosis associations assisted 16,968. LOVE AND MONEY. They say "love makes the world go round."

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY, 15, 1910. --- "QUANTITY, QUALITY AND PRICE" THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year. The reports from the grain fields of Central Canada, (which comprises the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta) are to hand. The year 1900 has not only kept pace with previous years in proving that this portion of the Continent is capable of producing a splendid yield of all the smaller grains, but it has thoroughly outstripped previous seasons. There is quantity, quality and price and from all parts of an area of about 292,000 square miles there comes the strong refrain of contentment and satisfaction. In the distribution of the conditions causing it no district has been overlooked. Various estimates of the total yield of wheat for the country have been made, but it is not the vast total that influences the general reader so much as what has been done individually. The grand total—any 130 million bushels—may have its effect on the grain price of the world; it may be interesting to know that in the world's markets the wheat crop of Canada has suddenly broken upon the trading boards, and with the Argentine, and with Russia and India, is now a factor in the making of prices. If so today, what will be its effect five or ten years from now, when, instead of there being seven million acres under crop with a total yield of 125 or 130 million bushels, there will be from 17 to 30 million acres in wheat with a yield of from 325 to 600 million bushels. When it is considered that the largest yield in the United States but slightly exceeded 700 million bushels, the greatness of these figures may be understood. Well, such is a safe forecast, for Canada has the land and it has the soil. Even today the Province of Saskatchewan, one of the three great wheat growing provinces of Canada, with 400,000 acres under wheat, produces nearly 90 million bushels; or upwards of one-tenth of the greatest yield of the United States. And Saskatchewan is yet only in the beginning of its development. As Lord Grey recently pointed out in speaking on this very subject, this year's crop does not represent one-tenth of the soil equally fertile that is yet to be brought under the plough. Individually, reports are to hand of yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores of yields are reported of forty and some as high as sixty bushels. The farmer, who takes care of his soil, who gets his seed-bed ready early, is certain of a splendid crop. The news of the magnificent crop yield throughout the Canadian West will be pleasing to the friends of the thousands of Americans who are residents in that country and who are vastly instrumental in the assistance they are rendering to let the world know its capabilities. The Selfi Hunter James R. Keene, apropos of the jumping contests at, the New York horse show, talked about fox hunting. "Hunting," he said, "develops a race of very savage, selfish men. There was, for instance, Jones. "Jones, on a bitter cold day, was riding hard at a brook, when he perceived the head of his dearest friend sticking dismally out of the ley water. Did Jones go to his friend's assistance? Not a bit of it. "Duck, you fool!" he shouted, and jumped over him."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis- eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachius Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf- ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; more cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is not but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Practical Fashions ADIES' BRASSIERE OR BUST-SUP PORTING CORSET COVER. 1910 Paris Pattern No. 3121, All Scares Allowed—For the woman who wishes her waist to set stylishly, especially the new skin-tight Jersey blazer, the brassiere is a great assistance, but for the woman of full figure it is a positive necessity. The garment is to be worn over the corsets, taking the place of the usual corstet cover, and owing to the skillful shaping of the different sections gives support just where it is most needed and where the best-cut corstet often requires reinforcement. The brassiere has no fullness anywhere, thus the waist or basque may be fitted smoothly over it, and the fronts are so arranged that only three buttons are required for closing. The pattern is cut in six sizes from 36 to 46 inches bust measure. The 36-inch bust size requires five-eighths width of material 36 inches wide or one-half yard 42 inches, with 2½ yards of edging to trim. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern. NO. 3124. SIZE..... NAME..... TOWN.....

Harry Harm, the son of a Columbia (Pa.) grocer, has found a practical use for a lot of carrier pigeons. It used to take him half to a day to gather orders, half a day to fill them and half a day to deliver, but now, thanks to the pigeons, the work is done in one day. When Mr. Harm starts he takes a crate of pigeons along in his wagon and after he sees it few orders he takes the duplicate order sllps, which are of thin paper, puts in a tiny roll on a pigeon's leg and the bird is liberated. It at once flies to its loft at the store, where the clerks relieve it of its orders. This plan is followed until the man covers his entire route, and when he returns to the store the clerks have the goods ready for delivery.

BACKACHE-A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS A WARNING THAT MUST NOT BE IGNORED Pain in the back is the kidneys' signal of distress. If this timely warning is ignored, kidney disease silently fastens its deadly grip—for kidney sickness first shows itself in pains and disorders in other parts, and the real cause is too often hidden until fatal Bright's disease or diabetes has set in. Suspect the kidneys if you are rheumatic and nervous or have lame back, painful, too frequent or scanty urination, weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia. What you want is a special kidney medicine—not an experiment. But one that has stood the test for years. Doan's Kidney Pills relieve weak, congested kidneys—cure backache—regulate the urine.

W., American Fork, Utah, says. I had kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of my back and I often became so helpless that I had to go to the doctor. The stuches often lasted for days at a time and I could not even stoop to put on my shoes. My condition was certainly alarming. The secretions from my kidneys were irregular in passage and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what the misery kidney complaint causes and I can therefore appreciate the merits of kidney Pills lived up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure.
