GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES TWENTY-SEVEN Home-Made TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 28. Home-Made Easter Hats ROSE EVEN this early in the season the powers that produce our Easter bonnets are working industriously on the millinery which will be in such demand at Easter time, and thereafter. Surrounded by counterparts of all the lovely blossoms we know, and others, born in the brain of the designers, the busy workers enthusiastically assemble braids and ribbons, feathers and flowers into fetching hats. Why should not the tactful home dressmaker try her hand also, at making up a pretty, simple hat or so, for the coming spring? She has more time now than later and can indulge herself in more millinery or lessen the expenses of her spring headwear by a little hatmaking at home. It is fascinating work. All the home milliner needs is a little guidance. This does not mean that she can make all sorts of hats. The home-dressmaker who turns out a pretty lawn dress, well done in every regard does not attempt the exacting tailor-made suit. It is the same with hats. A good shape, developed in three different ways is shown in our illustrations. The home milliner may feel perfectly safe in attempting this hat. She needs to buy a wire frame of this or a similar shape, mull and braid to cover it, and the trimming materials. The frail with mull match yard will forming a Sew this cis as possible brim. Bind the braid hat with another row overlaid preceding be faced the rosette as to care a safe, light green banana and is almost a harmor The rib color as to just the sweet wreath and make the last. Fina scrap of a an achieve maker has she has an proceed wamine any come with Suppose. Suppose our enterprising reader lives far enough south to expect warm weather on the 26th of March, for Easter is very early this year. She may select a fancy braid, flowers and ribbon for her hat. Roses and illias are always in style, as staple as ribbon, which is ever present in millinery. Probably she owns some good-looking roses and will need to freshen them up. This is done by carefully trimming the frayed edges of the petals and tinting them with water colors or with oil colors dissolved in gasoline. Two sprays of illias in their natural color and two clusters of roses with their foliage will make a wreath. Two and one-half yards of ribbon will make the full rosette box, which consists of a group of loops four inches deep, sewed to a small piece of buckram. FOR YOUNG GIRL. In fine serge of any dark color this would be found just the dress for school wear. It is very simply made, the bodice and skirt being attached to the same waistband. A tuck about an inch wide is taken over the shoulder each side the bodice, and silk-covered buttons are sewn on by way of ornament. The skirt is a little full at sides and back of waist. The deep turnover collar is of silk edged with lace. Materials required: Four yards 46 inches wide, 1¼ yards lining for bodice, 16 buttons. THE GAZETTE The frame must first be covered with mull or crinoline, but preferably mull matching the braid in colors. A yard will cover the brim and crown, forming a foundation for the braid. Sew this over the frame as smoothly as possible, covering upper and under brim. Bind the edge of the brim with the braid and then cover the entire hat with it, sewing one row after another with the outer edge of each row overlapping the inner edge of the preceding row. The under brim may be faced with ribbon like that used in the rosette if preferred. As to color, the amethyst shades are a safe choice. Olive, moss or light greens, navy or light blues, tan, banana and light browns, in fact there is almost nothing in colors that will not harmonize with illusions and roses. The ribbon should be of the same color as the braid, but need not be just the same shade. Make the flower wreath and sew it to the hat. Then make the rosette, which is sewn on last. Finally the hat is lined with a scrap of silk, and is ready for wear, an achievement of which the clever man has a right to be proud. If she has any misgivings about how to proceed with the making, let her examine any hats made of braid, which come within her reach. Suppose, however, our home-milliner lives where an Easter falling in March is likely to be far from an ideal spring day. Her needs have been looked after, and she should choose braids in darker, stronger colors, than for flower-trimmed hats. A moss green, olive or clear bright navy, or any of the good shades of brown. The blue of the bluebird is the happiest of selections. For trimming, velvet ribbon, satin bows and fancy feather quilts are the proper choice, or wings may be used. Let the satin ribbon be of the same color as the braid. The velvet ribbon may be a dash of bright color like cherry or coral or a darker shade of the same color as the satin ribbon. For the feather, nothing is much prettier than the iridescent coque, but there are so many to choose from that one may use the individual taste in this matter. The velvet ribbon is threaded through small slashes cut in the covered frame, the fancy feathers are sewed on firmly and over them a group of loops made of two yards of No. 69 ribbon. If the matter of covering the hat with braid seems too difficult, a shape can be bought ready made and simply trimmed with folded satin ribbon, a cluster of quilts and an ornament or flower placed in the center of a rosette made of loops. Five yards of ribbon are needed for this hat and two broad, or a cluster of narrow quilts. The ribbon is laid in folds and tucked about the hat in what is known as a "crushed" band. The rosette is a series of loops four inches deep seewed to a little piece of buckram, the size of a silver dollar. This is seewed to the hat after the band and quills have been adjusted. Finally an ornament or a flat flower is seewed at the center of the rosette, completing the trimming. These hats provide one with something pretty for Easter and very useful for the spring and early summer, or for general wear all summer, for that matter. The last two described are very handsome in all black. Twelve yards of braid are needed at least for this model, one yard of mull, and a spool of silk thread matching the braid in color. Finally, let me whisper to those interested, the masculine members of your family will think your achievement wonderfully clever, if you make your own hat. Practical Traveling Coat. One of the practical coats brought out for southern-bound travelers is the mannish ulster, made of white blanketing, white chinchilla or some 'mikl white cloth, which is easily slipped into and out of when jumping into the machine for the ride to the links or homeward. The coats are of full or three-quarter length and have the advantage of being cozy, smart and of cleaning perfectly. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

Hearst Considered by a Critical Student of Public Men and Measures. Sutherland Ore, Jan. 31, 1910. Editio Gazette—Dept. Sir. I received a letter from some unknown friend the other day inclosing some clippings and making some suggestions as to my writing to The Gazette on the subway referred. I wish to thank my unknown correspondent for his or her kindness and express my entire sta tement that Chicago needs a paper like The Gazette. Indeed every northern city would ch a fearless, clear- fighting editor as friend the other day inclosing some clippings and making some suggestions to the subject writing to The Gazette on the subjects to which they referred. I wish to thank my unknown correspondent for his or her kindness and express my gratitude agreement with the statement that Chicago needs a paper like The Gazette. Indeed every northern city would be better for such a fearless, clear-sighted, energetic fighting editor as Mr. Smith Now as to Hearst's support of Mr. Roosevelt: "Birds of a feather flock together." Both of these men are intensely egotistic and thoroughly selfish, and utterly unscrupulous as to the means they use to attain their own ends while pretending to be patterns of all good like the Parissee of the 1920s, and to be the man for his own purposes. There is a story in the Bible of a certain great man in Persia to whom all the people bowed down except Mordecai and because this one man refused him the coveted submission, Haman would kill him and all his people. So, Roosevelt. Because Joseph Benson Foraker worked with the people of Prairie, praising all that Roosevelt did, the latter would fane destroy him. Hearst lent himself to this degrading work and the two men who had been abusing each other became friends for a common enmity. They both envy Foraker for his great gifts, intellectually, spiritually and even physically. There is not a finer appearing man in the world than Roosevelt, who hails as "Ohio's gallant young governor" while Hearst is a weakling and Roosevelt a Gargoyle. Of course, I expect to see Roosevelt run for president on Hearst's Independent league ticket in 1912. Taft will get the Republican nomination (honestly this time) and the Democrats will nominate Gov. Harmon of Ohio to think of hope. However I had glimpses of hope that Taft will do better soon. Senator Foraker called at the White House recently. He never went without an invitation. The newspapers report: "They did not talk politics." Well, perhaps they talked "Brownville." Of one thing I am sure, our dear senator has not forgotten his vow, to let nothing personal interfere with justice for those wronged "soldier" boys. And now, with all good wishes, I am, Yours sincerely, MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. A CALL TO HELP LIBERIA. Our People Urged to Raise State Funds for the Purpose—September 22, the Day. Liberia has called for money and men. Let every Afro-American answer this call, and set aside Thursday, September 22, 1910, as a contribution day and help raise a fund to be turned over to the authorities of Liberia for the education and Christianizing of our brother Liberians, and thus help develop that country. An effort on the part of the colored people of this county to help our brothers in Liberia would win for us greatest respect at home and consideration abroad. Of course she a project would necessitate for some plan of action, and the following suggestion might be adopted: Let each state appoint a committee of seven (all of whom shall be freeholders) whose duty it shall be to arrange for and have full charge of the fund collected in each state. They in turn shall turn over all monies collected to a national committee composed of one representative from each state. It shall be the national committee depository said results bank or trust company until such time as it could be delivered to the authorities of Liberia. 1. F. NORRIS Chairman Liberia Tag Day Committee, 535 Federal Avenue, Seattle, Wash. ATTENTION, READERS!

The above is an excellent portrait of one of Cuba's leading journalists and statesmen, a man of much influence and excellent standing. He is no relation to the island republic's president who also bears the name, Gomez, and neither are any relation to the San Dominican, Gen. Gomez, who led the Cubans in their last war for liberty and was the only officer in their army to outrank Major General Antonio Maceo, the Cuban marter. Two "white" Cuban cigar sellers came into The Gazette office one day last week and noticing a large picture, neatly framed, of Gen. Maceo, hanging on the wall, instantly raised their hands in reverence. Neither could speak more than a word or two of the English language. Seeing also pictures of Tonissant L'Ouverture and Senator Joseph Benson Foraker on each side of Maceo's, one asked for both: "Who dey?" DOINGS OF THE RACE "Uncle" John Ramsey, who died at Oberlin, last week, was 119 years old. Sam Langford will go to Paris, France, after his fights in California, to have a "go" with Sam, McVey. The Nashville, Teen., One Cent Savings bank's seventh annual report last week shows a clearance of nearly $800,000 for the last year. "O, we are coming!" you to subscribe for the "old reliable" Gazette if you have not done so, because every Afro-American's home needs at least one copy of it each week. The M. K. & T. Railway Co. recently appointed W. R. Redus of Tullahsee, Okla., depot agent. He has been postmaster for several years, but resigned. He is in charge of both offices. Champion "Jack" Johnson asserts that he was driven to administering his diminutive adversary a few short and vicious jolts because of insults Pinder has handed him from time to time, and which he could no longer endure. We have 12 banks in Virginia. The "O'Donnion" leads. There are four in Richmond, two each in News and Norfolk, and one each in Hampton, Courtland, Staunton and Waynesboro. All are doing a fine business. Rumor has it that the comedians, Williams & Walker, have separated for good and that the latter will be with his wife, Ada Overton Walker, next season, if well enough, in a play you can hear by Cole & Johnson with whose company she is connected, this season. The daily papers of the country announced last week that Ollie R. Smith of Cheyenne, Wyo., had been appointed an alternate, for a cadetship at West Point (government military academy). The Gazette announced this fact nearly two months ago. They (the daily papers) announce lynchings and crimes committed by Afro-Americans, much sooner. You have not noticed this. Hon. John F. Cook of Washington, D. C., 76 years of age, died recently. He has held the following offices, district and city, there: Member of the board of school trustees, collector of taxes, three times delegate to Republican national conventions, a member of the board of aldermen under the old Washington, D. C., city government and also register of the city. He was one of our wealthiest men with a wealth of friends and in a beautiful home at the nation's capital. Three other sons also survive him. Mrs. Agnes Carver Brent has been awarded a verdict for $750 damages against the Great Falls & Old Dominion Railway Co. for false arrest, by a jury in the circuit court of the District of Columbia. Mrs. Brent was a passenger in August, 1906, on a car from Georgetown, D. C., to Livingston Heights, in Virginia; she was seated the third seat from the rear of the car, and when Virginia was reached the conductor, acting under the "Jim Crow" car law of that state, directed her to move to the second seat from the rear. When she declined he caused another employee of the road, known as a special officer for Fairfax county, but not for Alexandria county, to place her under arrest. She was taken to Great Falls, it was testified, to the Rosslyn, and to the Alexandria county jail, from which place she was released about midnight. Notice, K. of P.'s.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Cleveland, O., February 5, 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. That Chattanooga demonstration for Shipp and the other two mobocrats, last Sunday, ought to start loyal Americans everywhere to thinking. Afro-Cubans have started to stamp the American color-line out of the island and we sincerely trust that they will succeed in doing so, and soon, too. President Taft sent $50 to Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga., recently. That sort of thing won't help him with our people. Under the circumstances, it is insulting and disgusting. The same is true of his $100 gift to Wilberforce university, recently. We are not that cheap, Mr. President. To keep abreast of the times, we must read, not only our own papers, but also such exceptionally interesting and valuable articles, wherever found, as those of Alfred Henry Lewis in "Human Life," referred to at length on our first page today. They give important inside facts to be found nowhere else at this time. If our people of Martinsburg, W. Va., and the entire state for that matter, are wise they will rally around Editor J. R. Clifford of the Pioneer Press "as one man." He is extremely loyal, intelligent, able, honest, energetic and fearless. Would that the race had thousands of his kind in every state of the Union. Rev. Billy Sunday ("white"), the former ball-player, now an evangelist, says: "Yes. I think Jim Jeffries will whip Jack Johnson to a frazzle when he meets him." Billy and Corbett are about the only athletes of consequence who have been interviewed by the daily paper reporters, who seem to think that way. Sunday is soon to visit Cleveland. He has been "sensationalizing" Youngstown for several weeks. Poor Bishop Lampton! Since those brutal southerners near his home in Mississippi threatened to kill him some months ago, because they said he tried to make a poor "white" telephone exchange operator call his daughter "Miss" Lampton when calling her over the 'phone, he has been trying to out-herod Herod" in an effort to please them by advising our people in public speech as they would have him do. This is one of the things that prevents us from having any confidence in many of our so-called leading men. They show too much of the truckling spirit and lack of self and race respect. Where, O where! is that manhood, some of them prate so much about? The good bishop is giving up entirely too much to remain a resident of that hell-hole, known as Mississippi. Representative Eubanks' bill, published elsewhere in this paper, is a good one and ought to pass the state assembly at an early date. We sincerely trust that it will. There is absolutely no good reason why it should not be enacted into law. Now let Mr. Eubanks tell the people what he promised to—what Gov. Harmon said about the insulting and unfair segregation of our girls in the state institutions at Xenia and Deleware. It ought to be stopped immediately. It amounts to an outrage, pure and simple. The thousands of Afro-Americans in Ohio are all citizens, many of them tax-payers, others are such indirectly, those who pay rent, and ought not to be thus discriminated against. No other class of citizens of this state, are so humiliated and insulted. "Rather far-fetched" was ex-Mayor Seth Low's effort at a recent Carnegie hall, New York City, "Tuskegee" meeting, to give Gen. Armstrong (deceased), former president of Hampton, Va., institute, credit for the building of the great industrial school in Alabama. Dr. Booker T. Washington has there an institution such as Mr. Armstrong never dreamed of. "Give even the devil his due," Mr. Low, whether he wants you to or not "Tuskegee" is booker T. Washington's creation, pure and simple, and Gen. Armstrong certainly did not "light with his torch the torch of Booker T. Washington" in this matter of Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial Institute. For goodness' sake, stop taking from the Negro, credit, full credit, that is his and his only. Gen. Armstrong and the race he belonged to, do not need it, either. Just as The Gazette has forced the Baehr-Maschke city administration and several county officials, all so-called Republicans, to give our people of this community a little recognition, even if the few jobs and some of the appointees are anything but satisfactory, so we forced Assistant Superintendent Hicks of the local public schools to publicly announce, many months ago, that little Marie Bolden was champion speller, and also make record of the fact at our school headquarters. Many will remember the effort made at the time, to divide the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1910. honor between a little "white" girl of Pittsburgh and one of this city. That it failed was due more largely to the persistent efforts of The Gazette than those of any other person or thing. This was generally recognized and thoroughly appreciated at the time, and is yet by many whose memories are at all good. We are not done, by a good deal, and before "the end of the chapter" (Baehr's two year term), shall force the local administration to give our people of this city, more and better jobs and a higher grade of appointees. Just watch The Gazette and see if it doesn't do as it promises, as usual. BATES DID NOT OPPOSE A NEGRO BUT URGED ONE. The Press was in error Wednesday in quoting Theodore M. Bates, taxer, an criticising Mayor Baehr for appointing two colored men as deputy building inspectors. Bates asked for the appointment of a colored man to make measurements and get descriptions of buildings, and the appointment of a colored man to account on account of the man's race, nor was it from any reason reflecting upon him. The question of employing colored men was discussed, and some of Baehr's appointments were spoken of as unwise, but not by Bates.—Thursday's Cleveland Press. What we quoted in our last issue relative to Mr. Bates of the local tax board, indeed about all of the article relative to him except the last paragraph, was taken from the Cleveland Press of last week Wednesday, the day preceding the publication of the above. As a matter of fairness we voluntarily publish the above excerpt and are really pleased to do so because the race hasn't so many friends these days that it can afford to lose even one who is willing to help it. ONE MESSENGER AND A FEW JANITORS. As a result of the Republican victory last fall, a number of colored men were installed in office last week. The city of Cleveland has set a hot pace for cities all over the country, whose habit has been to use the Negro vote, and, after winning the battle, declare that the time is not ripe for Negroes to have high-grade offices. Thomas W. Fleming was elected councilman at-large by an immense vote, showing that the white Republicans of Cleveland are not wandering into the camp of Democracy. A number of colored men have been hired as meter and street inspectors, sanitary policemen timekeepers, janitors, messengers, etc. Such recognition of merit will be productive of a largely increased Republican vote at the next election—Cincinnati (Q.) Union. Our esteemed confrence has been misled. The Cleveland city administration has not given our people a single clerkship, and none are "store-keepers, meter and street inspectors, sanitary policemen or timekeepers." The three or four Afro-Americans "appointed" to such positions, like the one "appointed" to a clerkship, have not been nor will they be permitted to fill them. Tom Fleming ran away behind the other Republican candidates for councilman-at-large, receiving the smallest vote. So, Brother Dabney, you see that the negro janitors and other city appointees, here in Cleveland, have anything but "high-grade offices." Shame upon the local Negro political tools who are trying to mislead our people of this and other communities into believing that we have the substance when it is but the shadow. Tell the truth and shame the local Republican city administration devil—if possible—into doing its full duty to our people. "AMRICAN" LIES. Here is a sample of the malicious and transparent lies being sent to the daily papers of this country by prejudiced American correspondents in Havana, Cuba, when writing of the recent trouble that American hotel in Havana precipitated by vainly trying to draw a color line at its bar and on Afro-Cuban congressmen: The president sent his secretary to confer with the management of the hotel and summoned to the palace General Cebreco and other Negro leaders, with whom he conferred personally. He pointed out that the intrusion of Negroes where their presence was not desired was undignified and merely served to rouse the animosity of the Negroes, highly desirable that all Cubans should remain on the most friendly terms. He also reminded them how much the prosperity of the city of Havana was dependent on the number of American tourists, whom any danger of social disorders would certainly deter from coming. The press also appealed to all patriotic Negro Cubans not to persist in enforcing their rights at the cost of the rest of the community. The president engaged to use all their influence to prevent their followers from further interfering with the hotel. The above lies, "cut out of whole cloth," are malicious because they were written and published with the sole idea of encouraging the drawing of a color line in this country and of encouraging Afro-Americans to submit supinely to the same. They are transparent because President Gomez (and the Cuban press) would not talk such ROT to the Cuban martyr, Gen. Antonio Maceo's people; more than that, they would not dare do so. Then, too, the great majority of Cubans, colored and white, have no love for this country, and Americans have only their commercial greed and damphol color and race prejudice to blame for it. Just such insulting exhibitions as that Havana "American" hotel recently made, and individual Americans throughout the little island republic have repeatedly made in recent years; and also such lying publications as the reprint above was taken from, have fomented and encouraged a dislike in Cuba for this country, which is not only perfectly proper under the circumstances, but entirely right. The fact is, no greater calamity could possibly befall the beautiful island than annexation with the United States. Commercially and socially and in many other ways, it would be infinitely worse than a return to the former unbeatable conditions that existed during Spanish rule. The last sentence of the excerpt, republished above, is simply ridiculous; absolutely no truth in it all. WAS MISLED BY TAFT.

Special to The Gazette Columbus, O.—The following is house bill No. 28, introduced recently by Representative Eubanks of Cleveland, entitled a bill to empower the governor to remove from office and declare the same vacant, a sheriff who shall permit a person or persons to be taken from his or his deputies' hands by a mob, while in his custody: Section 1. If any person shall be taken from the hands of a sheriff, or his deputy, having such person in custody, and shall be lynched, it shall be prima facie evidence of failure on the part of such sheriff to do his duty, and upon the fact being made to appear to the governor, he shall publish of such sheriff vacant, and his office shall thereby and thereafter immediately be vacated, and the coroner shall immediately succeed to and perform the duties of sheriff until the successor of such sheriff shall have been duly elected or appointed, pursuant to the existing law providing for the filling of vacancies in such office, and that the successor be eligible to either election or reappointment to the office of sheriff: Provided, however, that such former sheriff may within ten days after such lynching occurs, file with the governor his petition for reinstatement to the office of sheriff, and shall give ten days' notice of the filing of such petition to the prosecuting attorney of the county in which such lynching occurred, and that the successor be upon hearing the evidence and argument, if any presented, shall find that such sheriff has done all in his power to protect the life of such prisoner and performed the duties required of him by existing laws respecting the protection of prisoners, then such governor may reinstatement such sheriff to his office and upon him a certificate of reinstatement, the same to be effective on the day such order of reinstatement, and the decision of such governor shall be final.

There are at present four colored priests in this country. Three of them are members of St. Joseph's so- ctely, commonly called the Josephites, and the fourth is a member of the congregation of the Holy Ghost. The first is the Rev. Charles Randolph Uncles, born in Baltimore, who was ordained by His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, in the Baltimore cathedral, in the Baltimore university, since his ordination. Father Uncles has been a member of any Apostolic college at Walbrook, Baltimore, Md. The second is the Rev. John H. Dorssey, a native of Baltimore, who was ordained by the cardinal in Baltimore in 1902. Father Dorssey is now catechist in Montgomery, and assisting in the management of the church. The third is Rev. Joseph J. Plantevigne, born in Louisiana. He has recently been appointed assistant at St. Francis Xavier's church in Baltimore, one of the largest and oldest colored Catholic parishes in the country. The name is Rev. Joseph A. Burgess, C. S. Sp., the pastor of the present he is professor at the Apostolic college of his congregation at Cornwells, Father Augustine Tolton, born in Illinois, of slave parents, was the very first colored priest appointed in the United States. He was ordained at the Propaganda in Rome, the pastor of pastor of our church in Chicago, in which died some 12 years ago. To this number will be added the name of Rev. Stephen J. Theobold, who is now reading a distinguished course at the St Paul seminary under Archbishop Ireland's auspices. The Rev. Mr. Theo deaconate, and he will, after his nation in June, take his place among the clergy of the diocese of St. Paul—Hibernian (Boston, Mass.) "HUMAN LIFE" FOR FEBRUARY. Unusual interest attaches to the February issue of Human Life on account of three remarkable articles dealing with vital issues in American civic life. The first is the story of Charles W. Whitman, the new district attorney of New York, and the masterly manner in which, in the past, he has beaten Tammany at its own game: the second relates to Edwin T. Edwin millionaire wielding the big stick, and his wonderful battle against the gandolofs that dominated the city of Los Angeles; and last, but far from least of the trio is the third installment of Alfred Henry Lewis's famous series, "Traveling with Taff," with its amazing revelations of the robber "interests" that are growing larger and more arrogant than ever under the paternal wing of Nancy Albright arff. In contrast to these individuals is Vance Thompson's surprising story of Jean Jaures, the "Red Orator" of French Socialism. Bruce Barton has strikingly pictured two of the most unique characters in America today, "Hinky Dink and Bath House John," the joint sovereigns of the rich and corrupt First ward of Chicago. The remaining pages teem with interest and charm. Ada Patterson's chaty sketch of Fay Kellogg tells of her career as a foremost women architects in the country; in the series, "Actresses of Today," the story of Nance O'Neil's career is full of romance; "Celebrities of the Day" is made up of a dozen bright illustrated sketches of men and women in all walks of life who command attention; "The Camera on Folk of the Hour" glimpses the great world's doings in excellent pictures; the pages headed "Modern witty editorial comment on the great and near-great, while the pages devoted to poems, cartoons and "Mirthmakers" add the spice of sentiment and fun. LYNCHER'S WELCOME BY "DIXIE" "DIXIE." Ex-Rebel Captain Joe Shipp Greeted by Frantically Silly Mob on His Return Home to Ten- Chattanooga, Tenn.—With bands playing "Dixie" and "Home, Sweet Home," Capt. Joseph F. Shipp was greeted here at 5 o'clock Sunday evening by at least 10,000 of his fellow citizens when he alighted from the train that bore him to his home from Washington, D. C., where he had just completed a sentence in prison for contempt of court. He arrived in connection with the lynching case of Ed. Johnson. Men wept, shouted and laughed almost in the same breath; women became frantic. There was imminent danger for a time of a panic and possible injury to women and children. As Shipp walked slowly down the length of the shed he was greeted by his apprentice, upon his breast for a moment. This greeting over, the bands played "Home, Sweet Home," and again pandemonium broke forth. Shipp was so moved that he was unable to speak. He raised his hat and bowed right and left as officers opened a way for him to his carriage, in which he was driven at once his bobblehead upon his back. Noble and Luther Williams returned with their former chief and they, too, were given much attention. All three mobbcrats! All this occurred in the "new south," Taft's south, if you please. How do you like it, law-abiding, country-loving citizens of the north? You can wager there were no Afro-Americans in the silly mobs of sympathizers with the lawless Roosevelt and Bryan Abroad. With Roosevelt gone to Africa, And Bryan to Peru. What hope for wild, exciting new, Remains for me and you? What man is there to "whoop it up" As R. and Bryan do? Though all of them should merge. There's something crude about their work; They lack the artist's touch To make excitement of the sort That surely beats the Dutch— That B. and R., for instance, have Regaled us with so much. If Taft should yell for seven days, And Ballinger for nine, And Pinchot for eleven more Demand that they resign, And the insurgents in a row Yip, yell and roar and whine, The hearer, with sarcastic look And undisturbed polise, And this why I did inquire What thing was left to do, What hope for wild, exciting news Remained for me and you With Roosevelt gone to Africa And Bryan Kirkman —Chicago Inter Ocean EPITOME OF A WEEK'S NEWS Most Important Happenings Told in Brief. PERSONAL Harry Meyers, alias "the Chicago Kid," is held at New York as a suspect in the murder of Moses Gootman, a shirtwaist manufacturer. Otto T. Bannard, defeated candidate for the New York mayoralty, declares that the cost of living is the greatest issue before the public to-day. Miss Caroline Astor Drayton and William Phipps, secretary of the American embassy in London, were married at the village of Rogate in Sussex. Rev. Wright Gibson, pastor of the McKees Rocks (Pa.) Presbyterian church, has notified engaged couples among his parishioners that he will not unite any couples unless the intended bridegroom can prove his income is at least $2,000 a year. The gold medal struck off by the Hudson-Fulton committee of the state of New York in honor of President Dlaz was presented to Gen. Dlaz by James G. Bailey, American charge d'affaires at Mexico City. GENERAL NEWS. It is reported that Gen. Aurelio Estrada, brother of the president of the provisional government of Nicaragua, has risen against President Madriz at Managua. The passenger train on the Monon road which left Louisville for Chicago jumped the track near Bonnetsville, Ind., injuring four trainmen. Brakeman C. D. Fowel of Chicago was slightly hurt. On the tenth anniversary of the death of William Goebel, a monument to the murdered politician, erected by public subscription, was unveiled at Frankfort, Ky. President Taft and the leaders of the Republican party in the house are in favor of a thorough and exhaustive investigation of the present high cost of living, ar.1 it was determined at a meeting of the ways and means committee that that body should assume the task of making a full inquiry into the whole matter. That Gen. Chamorro had defeated the Madriz troops under eGn. Vasquez at Acoyapa in a battle that had continued since Wednesday was the definite news received from Rama, Nicaragua, confirming previous dispatches. The losses were heavy. Pennsylvania flyer No. 9 left behind it in two Ohio towns a trail of dead and dying. At Loudonville the train ran down Roy Covert and his wife, instantly killing Mrs. Covert and fatally injuring her husband. An hour later at Crestline the same train crashed into an automobile, wrecking it and killing two of the occupants, while a third member of the party was fatally injured. More startling disclosures and accusations against Secretary of the Interior Ballinger were made by Louis R. Glavis, ousted land department official, in closing his testimony before the Ballinger-Pinchot congressional investigating committee. The witness will be recalled for cross-examination on behalf of the long list of persons against whom he has made charges. A resolution of protest has been approved by Woodbury post No. 45, G. A. R., of Adrian, Mich., against congress allowing a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee to be placed by Virginia in the Hall of Fame in the national capitol. The report of State Examiners L. G. Tatsman and R. A. Tallman filed with the state auditor of Ohio shows officers and former officers of Columbia county to have received illegal fees aggregating $21,338.90. A total of $5,129.28 has been refunded. After taking his one-year-old baby from its mother's arms and sending his six-year-old child to the home of a neighbor, Claude Fred, a wealthy farmer of Charleston, ill., shot and killed his wife and, turning the revolver on himself, committed suicide. A bill providing a suffrage amendment to the Maryland state constitution has been introduced in the legislature. It is similar to the amendment defeated at the last popular election, but lacks the "grandfather" clause. A corporation which will devote its energies exclusively to raising polcats is being organized by Connecticut men with B. M. Mills of New Boston at its head. Fire destroyed the First Church of Christ, Scientist, at Kansas City. The loss is estimated at $75,000. Fifty-three officers and men of the British torpedo boat destroyer Eden were rescued off Dover in the breeches buoy when the vessel went ashore. Rex, the king cobra of the Bronx park zoo at New York, is dead. A little black roach had cut through his head and entered his brain. Charging Gov. Charles N. Haskell and other Oklahoma state officers with a violation of the state constitution in the manner in which public moneys have been expended, Representative Lester A. Maris, representing the Republican minority, filed an affidavit in the lower house of the legislature. The Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise of New York city has gathered statistics which show that in the past seven years Fourth of July celebrations have been responsible for 1,513 deaths, 33,073 accidents and a property loss by fire of $20,000,000. While the most imminent peril is over, the fall of the Seine has only been 15½ inches. At this rate it would require a fortnight for the river to reach its normal level. Fortunately tidings from the flooded sections above Paris give hope of a more rapid fall. The reported consolidation of all cereal manufacturing concerns of Minneapolis, one in Battle Creek, Mich. two in Chicago and several in Iowa, to a $1,000,000 corporation to handle the output of these breakfast food concerns was confirmed by Thomas W. Hicks, who has been promoting the deal. Fighting madly to escape through the narrow, partly choked air shaft, trampling ruthlessly over their fallen crumbles in their frantic struggle for life, more than half the miners employed in the Primero mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, wrecked by a terrific explosion, were overcome by gas and flames. The total number of deaths is placed at 79. After an investigation of the failure of the brokerage firm of Tracy & Co. of 40 Wall street, which failed on May 17, 1909, with liabilities of $1,500,000, the special grand jury handed to Judge Goff indictments against three men. As no arrests were to be made the names of the men indicted were not made public, but the crime charged is grand larceny in the first degree. By a vote of 100 to 39, or with 23 votes to spare, the Illinois house passed the Hamilton-Staymats automatic direct plurality primary bill. The bill goes to the senate, but will not be acted upon by that body until next week. Fisk and Robinson, members of the New York Stock Exchange and one of the best known bond houses in New York, with branches in Chicago, Boston and Worcester, were petitioned into insolvency by three friendly creditors. The failure will cause a loss of over a million dollars to its creditors. The New York members of the house went on record for the Taft legislative program, and in caucus pledged themselves to use their influence with other Republicans of the house to have the administration bills passed. The "insurgents" also formally announced to the president their full accord with his legislative program and promised him their votes. Articles of incorporation of the Arizona Eastern Railroad Company will be filed at Phoenix, Ariz. The company is capitalized for $40,000,000 and its formation indicates that the Southern Pacific is planning a new transcontinental line via Phoenix and Yuma. The Northeast Missouri Industrial association, comprising delegates from 25 counties, held its first meeting in Hannibal for the purpose of exploiting the resources of that part of the state. At least 149 men are believed to have been killed by a terrific explosion in the Primero (Col.) mine of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. Seventy-nine bodies were found piled in a mass at the foot of the air shaft. When the explosion occurred, the men evidently made a rush to escape through the air shaft, and were suffocated as they battled with each other for freedom. It is shown by the timekeeper's records that there were 149 men in the mine at the time of the explosion. None are believed to be alive. The main shaft of the mine is completely wrecked. Three men were killed at the mouth of the mine slope by the force of the explosion. Better to use $20,000,000 bond issue for good roads than deep waterways is the plan advocated by former Lieut. Gov. Sherman of Illinois in an address delivered before the Automobile Club of America at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York city. With the recession of the waters of the Seine, Paris is beginning to feel the after effects of the flood. Lawlessness and danger of pestilence have become the issues of the moment. Ghouls are taking advantage of chaotic conditions to plunder boldly both in Paris and the provinces. Reports tell of half a score of looters shot and killed by soldiers. The state department found it necessary to send another warning to President Madrid of Nicaragua that he would be held responsible for outrages against American citizens by any of the factions in Nicaragua. This warning was sent by the American consular agent at Matagulpa. He reported that American citizens in that neighborhood were terrorized. Following conviction and sentence in the federal court at Toledo, O., ten members of a Sicilian "Black Hand" organization were hastened to the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., to serve sentences ranging from two to sixteen years. The bas relief of Ezra Cornell's head is so hard to duplicate in ordinary decorative work that the trustees of Cornell university have offered a prize of $200 for the best emblem for the university. The lowest amount on which a family can live in simplest decency in New York city is $850 a year, according to the estimate of special committees from the Federated Labor unions which have been investigating the increased cost of living. To arouse sentiment for making New York a city beautiful, the American Institute of Architects has offered two medals which are to be awarded to the owners of the most beautiful two tenements erected in New York in the next year. An imperial edict issued at Pekin, China, approves the plans of the constitutional bureau for abolishing the traffic in human beings. Mrs. O. T. Artlip of St. Joseph, Mo., was saved from asphyxiation by natural gas fumes by John Rogers, a former convict, now a doctor, who was released from prison in Kansas largely by Mrs. Artlip's efforts. Sixteen men are known to be dead and from 25 to 60 missing, as a result of a gas explosion in the Browder mine, one and one-half miles from Drakesboro, Ky. It is believed the dead will number 30. In a statement issued from the White House, President Taft declares there is no foundation for the widespread rumors that the administration was about to begin a crusade against important corporations under the antitrust law. He said his purpose was exactly stated in his message to congress on January 7th. Four defendants in what is known as the Routt county land-fraud case were dismissed by Federal Judge Treiber at Denver. They are Lewis M. Rumsay, Charles H. Dodge, Charles Haberback and Gus Haberback, all of St. Louis. Parlor Maid Was Loyal, But It Is Doubtful If Explanation Helped Matters Very Much. Walter Lonsdale, Dr. Cook's secretary, was adducing facts in praise of Dr. Cook. "And these facts," he concluded, "prove my chief's honor; and the other side's defense is as weak as the well-known defense of the parlor maid." Mr. Lonsdale glanced at his luggage packed for Copenhagen. Then he laughed and resumed: "Mary," said a mistress to her parlor maid, "what time did my husband get home last night?" "Not till four, Mum," the maid answered. "I thought so," said the mistress. "Here it's evening, and the brute not up yet!" "The maid bridled defensively. The main bridesmaid. "Oh, but, Mum," she said, "he has been up once, Mum; but he just drank his bath and went back to bed again." Spoiled the Story. Tattered Terry—I'm a newspaper man, but I can't get a job.

The delegation informed the president that this was the first step on the part of the colored element in the campaign to secure all the rights to which the race is entitled, by virtue of its members and its eminent services in behalf of the republic.

E., Cleveland NATION'S CAPITAL OUTRAGE. How Taft, Your Senators and Congressmen are Robbing Our Children to Educate Others'. Washington, D. C.—There is an urgent need of more schoolhouses and larger schoolhouses for the colored children of the District of Columbia. The accommodations for them at present are so inadequate that many of the children can attend school but half a day, and that is a violation of the law. The members of the board of education appreciate the situation clearly, and in their estimates to the asked for $603,500 for new buildings of schoolhouses and $1,559,630 for new buildings for white schools, making a total of $2,163,130, of which 28 per cent was to be expended for the benefit of colored children. The board of commissioners, in their attempt to carry out the economy policy of the present administration, cut the estimates for white schools down to $531,000 and the estimate for colored schools down to $83,000, a total for both c $614,000, and for colored children only was asked for colored children in the house of representatives in the district appropriation bill, which was passed December 21, 1909, increased the amount asked by the board of commissioners for new schoolhouses for white children by $241,000, but cut down the allotment for schoolhouses for colored children $48,000, fully 60 per cent, from $83,000 to $35,000, giving the colored schools only 4 per cent the total appropriation instead of the 28 per cent asked by the board of commissioners and the 14 per cent asked by the commissioners. But this is not unprecedented. The following statement will show the appropriations made by congress for new buildings and grounds for the public schools of the District of Col- umbia during the years named: White Colored Colored Schools. Schools. Pct. 1901 221,1901 $ 221,1901 $156,000 43 1902 243,000 150,000 39 1903 173,000 61,944 28 1904 180,300 Nnone None 1905 170,000 9,713 5 1906 150,000 49,800 21 1907 331,158 55,200 14 1908 410,000 125,000 23 1909 469,000 122,000 21 1910 772,000 85,000 4 Total... $3,120,258 $760,657 20 You will observe from the above statement that congress has been very generous in its treatment of the white children of the district, and the appropriations for the new schoolhouses have been proportionate to the increase in population during the last few years. But that cannot be said of the appropriations for schools for colored children, and the amount provided for next year is smaller than for any year except 1904, when no appropriations were made, 1905, when the amount was $6,713. While economy is an excellent virtue and the determination of President Taft to cut down the expenditures of the government to the lowest possible amount is universally commended. I do not believe the constituents of any of the senate and house of representatives will justify him in economizing at the expense of the colored children of the national capital. Notice.

Her idea of Discipline. One day recently, just after the opening of the Baltimore schools, the teacher of a primary class had occasion right at the start to enforce discipline. "Here, young man!" she exclaimed, indicating a pupil whose name she did not yet know. "I saw you laughing just now. That won't do. No laughing in this school!" "I was only thinking about something, ma'am," said the youngster, sheepishly. "Well, don't let that happen in school again," said the teacher, sternly—Sunday Magazine of the Cleveland Leader.

Another Golfball Case. "Is this place haunted?" asked one of the few golfers that had braved the cold blasts the other day. "By actual count you and I are the only men in this building, and yet I swear I hear some one rolling a ball around." George Strath, the president of the Professional Golfers' association and the professional of the Crescent Athletic club of Brooklyn, merely laughed. "That's not a ghost. It's a rat," sald Strath. "What's a rat doing with a golf ball?" asked his inquisitor. "When one of the Scotch clubhouses where I had been professional was torn down we found no less than six dozen brand new balls between the floors. The rats had taken them there, thinking they were eggs," explained Strath—New York Press. He Was a Cheap Man The billionaire was not ungrateful. He offered the poor man a dollar.

I am by nature thick-skinned. SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cucurita Remedies. Mrs. H.

Knew the Calendar They were little girls, so small that the teacher was telling them about divisions of time, and receiving all sorts of answers to her simple questions. The little girl who lived in a boarding house was a year older than any of the others. "We have learned that years are divided into months, months into weeks, and weeks into days," said the teacher. "Now can any one tell me how the days are divided?" The little girl who lived in a boarding house raised her hand, and was asked to speak. "Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, beef," she said, glibly; "Friday, fish; Saturday, corned beef and beans; and Sunday, chicken."—Youth's Companion. Jim's Cost a Dollar More. Richard Le Gallienne, the noted poet, was entertaining a group of magazine editors at luncheon in New York. To a compliment upon his fame Mr. Le Gallienne, lightly: "But what is poetical fame in this age of prose? Only yesterday a schoolboy came and asked me for my autograph. I assented willingly. And to-day at breakfast time, the boy again presented himself. "Will you give me your autograph, sir?" he said. "But," said I, "I gave you my autograph yesterday." "I swapped that and a dollar," he answered, "for the autograph of Jim Jeffries." Certainly Not Present. It was in one of the colored schools of Baltimore, and the teacher was an inexperienced one. There was talking among the little negroes before her. "I want absolute silence," she said, severely. Still the talking continued. "I want absolute silence," she repeated again.

A young Calif. wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ails. "At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my condition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for I was very fond of it. At that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied, "I have not had a backache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drinking Postum!" I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more with insomnia. "I myself, have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit coffee that caused our aches and ails and take up Postum."

EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO HE HAD LESS THAN 3 DOLLARS EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO HE HAD LESS THAN 3 DOLLARS HE IS NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN, CENTRAL CANADA. Arriving in Canada in 1891, just eighteen years ago, E. A. Guillomin could speak but his native language. He is a Frenchman. He had but a little over two dollars in his pocket, thus being short over seven dollars of the ten dollars required to secure entry for a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres. He eventually borrowed the money and near Forget, Saskatchewan, he started life in Canada on the homestead in which to-day he is the fortunate possessor of fifty quarter sections of land, or 8,000 acres. Now Mr. Guillomin did not acquire all these acres as a result altogether of his farming operations, which were extensive. He looked with satisfaction upon what he was doing on his limited area, he was saving, careful, and had foresight. Surrounding land could be had for about $3.00 per acre, and he continued buying as his savings would permit, until now he has fifty quarter sections, some of which he can sell at $25.00 per acre. Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels. This year he was engaged in threshing on his place for $41½ days. He threshed out 50,000 bushels of wheat, of which he sold 34,000 bushels, one train load, at a price varying from 84 to 87 cents per bushel. He has on hand still 16,000 bushels. In addition to wheat he raised 30,000 bushels of oats, 7,000 bushels of barley and 500 bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses and a number of cattle, but since the construction of the railway he has been engaged chiefly in raising wheat. This year he bought his first threshing machine, paying for it the sum of $2,100. He estimates that the machine earned for him this fall $3,000, thus paying for itself in one season and leaving $900 to the good. The weather was very propitious for farm threshing, not a single day being lost in the two months which were spent in this work. The wheat averaged 23 bushels to the acre and graded No. 1 and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine years seven good crops have been harvested on this farm. For six successive years the returns were excellent, that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two following years there was a partial failure. As the years have passed the quality of the buildings on the farm have been steadily improved, and are now as good as can be found in the district. About $10,000 has been invested in this way by Mr. Gulloullon. The farm consists of 6,880 acres, of which about 6,000 acres were under crop this season. Impolite Papa.
