TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 35.
For Small Girl
The dress in above illustration is for a girl about 12 years old. It is of embroidered net, made up over mercerized lawn. The skirt is finished at the bottom with two ruffles of the material, edged with lace. The blouse has a plaited shoulder collar, also edged with lace and ornamented with little buttons.
I
This is a smart, tight-fitting princess dress in brownish terra-cotta face cloth. The bodice has a round yoke of chiffon, and a zonove with sleeve cut in one with it, both being braided and edged with balloon and large fancy buttons. On the hips the trimming is arranged to simulate panels let in at the sides. Chiffon is used for the puffed sleeves, which are set to deep cuffs.
Materials required: Seven yards 48 inches wide, 1 dozen yards trimming, $ \frac{1}{2} $ dozen yards braid, 6 buttons.
Natty Accessories for Linen Suits.
Nasty Accessories for Linen Gowns.
The black satin cowl, cuffs and pocket lapels which lend so smart an air to a tailored suit of wash material may be made by any amateur who will devote sufficient time to the task. When the black satin pieces have been properly shaped, they should be hand-embroidered or soutache-braided, then stiffened with canvas, taffeta lined, and finally finished about the edges with three rows of machine stitching. As these accessories must be removed whenever the coat is to be laundered or cleaned, the upper edges should be equipped with five or six short loops of black twist which fasten over tins' buttons of the same material as the garment, and attached permanently to it.
For Aching Feet
A woman who pins her faith to home remedies before going to a doctor says she quickly cures herself of the shooting pains in her feet and legs which many women call neuralgia. Every night and morning she bathes her feet with strong salt water as hot as she can bear it. She continues the bathing for five or six minutes, then gives a cold spray and rubs the feet briskly with a rough-towel until they are in a glow.
Little Helps.
Soften water. Heat but do not boll a boilerful of water; add two tablespoons of lye. In a few minutes a scum arises; remove with a spoon, then add soap and wash same as for soft water. Perfectly harmless to clothes and a saver of soap.
citennes insertion, arranged diagonally, and a narrow satin ribbon forms the girdle.
The attractive model illustrated is of blue velvet trimmed with bands of soutache embroidery, which forms the collar and cuffs, the girdle and the border of the skirt.
In front are straps bordered with a heavy slip piping and ornamented with bittons of the same
COLORS IN SPRING COSTUMES
"Pepper and Salt" Seems to Have Been Singled Out to Become an Especial Favorite.
All the smart costumes of the spring will be "pepper and salt." The individual taste can choose between the infinite stripes of black and white, the hairline, stripes or checks, or a fine tweed in which the two threads mix. All the London suitings are in the natty, mannish fabrics affected by the English woman and her spouse. English black and white shepherd plaids, checks and clever stripes with rough threads will be in the lead. The spring worsteds are in the tiny stripes, coming so close together that they are practically gray.
For one who takes to mountain climbing, gok, motoring or any outside exercise, the homespun are the best of all for wear. These, in the imported cloths and in our own home weavings come in sixteen shades, so variety is not lacking.
Speaking of fabrics, it is said that a woman's character comes out in the textures she wears. Witful so much depends on the making that the rule cannot be accepted in any sense as fast bound. A rough homespun, made simply in perfect taste, is as dainty as a smooth fabric on a small person.
SPREAD IS MADE ELABORATE
Pink Roses Embroidered on Bed Covering Has Become Distinctly Popular.
Not only a flowered surface, but with blossoms made by hand, is the latest in bedspreads.
Great cabbage roses in rich delicious pink dotted here and there all over the plain surface of a white linen spread.
Not closer than you care to place them, with the embroidery in view, but just so near that there will be plenty of pink in evidence. You can do the stamping yourself, if you secure a single large rose with a leaf and a very little stem and trace it upon the goods.
Mercerized and twisted embroidery cotton—a coarse number—will be your best medium, and the work need not be solid. Skeleton embroidery is effective where there are large petals, and the work should be done in a bold way, so that the result will be decidedly pink or old rose.
Two shades of cotton may be used, with green leaves and stems, or with both of these done in the pink. The dropping of this large, loose rose upon curtains and cushions in the same room will not be wasted work.
To Give Red Hair a Luster.
The red-haired girl should insist upon a pinch of salts of tartar being put in the shampoo mixture each time her hair is washed. This does not act as a bleach or dye, but gives a warm pretty luster to the hair that brings out all its lights. There is no possible danger of injury to the hair if no more of the acid is used than a good-sized pinch or as much as will go on the end of a knife. The salts should be kept in a dry place as it is rapidly affected by dampness.
Breakfast Jacket.
For a breakfast jacket have Japanese silk and cut it hip length, with point at the front and straight across at the back. Loose pointed sleeves should be bound with ribbons and a simple neck binding used. Morning jackets are simple and usually constructed of fine silks.

The veteran editor of The Cleveland Gazette, Hon. Harry C. Smith, is of the opinion that Matt Henson, the companion of Peary in his northern explorations, is entitled to some substantial recognition by congress. He indeed the only other American in the group which has led forensic dash pursuit added all that he deserved to our vast dominions. Why not give him the recognition he deserves and a place and a name among our public benefactors? Durham (N. C.) Reformer. Prof. Arthur Keith in a recent Hunterian lecture gave an unqualified endorsement of the hypothesis as respects the earlier inhabitants of Europe, stating that the truth of the country was delivered at by Vernon that at one time the southern part of Europe was occupied by a Negro race. All the evidence available, according to Prof. Keith, establishes the fact that primitive man was of dark color and that the evolution of the light-skinned European, race was, geologically speaking, a comparatively recent event. New for us is the wrong question, who has shown it? A statement that we are wrong is no proof, not even evidence of it. WE ARE RIGHT ON STATES RIGHTS: THE SUPREME COURT SAYS SO EVERY TIME THE QUESTION COMES UP. We are right on the demand for a beginning of the reduction of the tariff schedules. All the statesmen agree to that without regard to politics. On the race question we are right on the country is our position, led by Washington. The south is not wrong—Birmingham (Ala.) Evening Ledger
Mrs. Margaret Miller, "white," 27 years old, wife of a prominent real estate broker, and one of the handsomest brunettes in Pittsburg, was arraigned before Magistrate Kirby in Central station police court, that city, the morning of March 6 after she had been followed from the Frick building to W. M. Carter's home, an Afro-American porter, at 2813 Wylie avenue. She was arrested for the assault. Both were fined $500 for the alternative of going to the warehouse for 60 days. Carter paid his fine and Mrs. Miller would have to serve her time had not an apparent stranger volunteered to pay the fine. Carter confessed that he had been meeting the woman for nearly two years.
Secretary of War Dickinson, the Tennessee ex-servet and Democrat, believes the best solution is to force the entire elimination of that race from politics, and he
has made that the basis of his arguments in several recent public addresses. The significance of his utterances on the subject lies in the generally accepted impression that they represent the sentiments of the present Taft administration on that much discussed question. At any rate, it is known that Secretary Chargé de Procurement president with a study of the Negro question with a view of assisting in the consideration of official questions, especially in the south involving the racial issue in any phase. Washington (D. C.) Stan I have just returned from Mexico. It is a glorious land, free from race prejudice and all the little qualities that make up this country we live in. It was my eighth annual tour; and I was able to make a deep study of the southern land from the train than I discovered that I was in what seemed to be essentially a black man's country. Every place I went I saw prosperous, industrious Negroes carrying on business of their own. There were large wholesale houses owned and operated by Negroes supplied by planters of African descent. Black and white planters were in constant competition than the Jews do in the United States. G. W. Slaughter in Chicago Defense.
In its issue of January 10, under capitation "South Carolina's Brainiest Negro," the Columbian State published a highly interesting biographical story of two columns on the subject of Dr. Marilba A. Evans, a woman of the race, "who has saved many lives and has educated many "trained nurses." In some respects the career of Mrs. Evans is more remarkable than that of any Afro American of either sex, says the State, 12. Evans not only has a large paying practice but maintains a hospital for our people, where her patients are cared for and more able to pay her anything. The account states that her practice among the "white" people enables her to keep alive and run the hospital. "A mistaken idea that the Taylor Lane hospital is supported by northern philanthropists has gotten abroad" says the State.
"I protest against the Democracy of the state of Mississippi being committed to the political methods used, and issues created by Gov. Vardaman. They can bring to the state no good from abroad, but over and above and beyond everything else, I want the Democracy of the state of Mississippi to put the brand of its disapproval now and forever upon any man who seeks, for the purpose of political gain, to breed discord and to two and two with, under the fat of Almighty God, have been placed on Mississippi soil for the purpose of there working out their common destiny. While I am no dreamer of dreams, yet, looking into the future, I believe I can see the two races working out their common destiny in peace in good will and harmony: the Negra race satisfied and industrious, the white race grawn by the greater danger which it has encountered, by the constant exercise of its noble qualities, to be the best of the Black-Spanish civilization that has drawn down the river of time." I am. Senator-dept. Ebery Perey of Mississippi.
Despite the vast amount of "color" prejudice in daily circulation in this city (Cincinnati), which is fostered and encouraged by many thousands of business people, we had two conscientious exceptions here last week. Taft's Stinton hotel, a hotel of racial discrimination, throw-opens its doors to the miners and operators, who are in conference here. Many Negroes were among them. They used the elevators and other conveniences from the hotel still stands and its business continues unimpaired. Mr. Taylor Lightfootatee jumped in the court cell. The jury could not hear and during the days and nights of its contentions, Mr. Lightfootatee, drank and slept with the members of the jury in our leading rates and hotels. Nobody kicked! Nobody was hurt! Nobody's social standing has been altered and the business glibles on as usual. The white community has not suffered! Now why is it that decent colored people are not permitted to enjoy the civilities to which they are entitled under the constitution and laws of this great country? In the greatest city of our country, a Negro millionaire has no higher rating than a Negro idiot. Such is life in most American cities!—Cincinnati (O. U.) Union

WHY DID BURTON."DECLINE!"
The Invitation to Attend the Monster Wilberforce Mass Meeting—Senator Dick Spoke—A Cruiser, for Liberia.
Washington, D. C. President Taft was the principal speaker at the recent monster mass meeting in Metropolitan church, held for the purpose of interesting all persons in the movement to raise $2,000, in order to obtain a Blee amount from Andrew Carnegie, the associate $2,000, to go for the erection of a new dormitory at Wilberforce university. Tatt came out for a high-education as well as industrial. Other
speakers were Prof. W. A. Joiner, who presided; Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church; Senator Charles Dick, President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce, and Justice John M. Harlan of the supreme court. Senator Burton declined an invitation, as all President Longworth, bounties, Hollowsworth and other Bounties were on his platform. Although a half dozen others accepted invitations they were not present. The positively silly point involved in Mrs. Scarborough's being "white" was unfortunately raised by viciously prejudiced persons as soon as the appointment was made that the meeting was to be held, and although it was planned to have the entire Ohio congressional delegation present, there was only a small proportion of the Indiana State President Scarborough when interrogated, avoided the issue with the reply, "Mrs. Scarborough is as white as some white people, and not any darker than some colored people. When his wife was killed in Indian blood in her wives, but he did not threaten to murder the matter."

A Pastor's Usefulness-An Account of His Many Activities in the South and North.
Yorktown, O. Among the prominent ministers of the race is the Rev. J. Gardner Ross, whose nostalgic appear above and who is pastor of Maboning Avenue Baptist church of this city. Dr. Ross was born in Nantucket, Mass., and received his early education there, and in the city of Boston. He graduated in the class of '77 from Newton Theological seminary, Newton Center, Mass. He was then called to New Haven, Conn., as pastor of Emmanuel Baptist church, and was ordained by the Old Fashioned Pastor of Dr. T. Harwalt Pastor, by the native charge of the pastor during his pastorate, because valuable property for Emmanuel church. He has served as president of the New England Baptist Missionary convention, of which he was several times elected corresponding secretary. Dr. Ross did much other valuable local work in New Haven. In 1855 he was called to Jacksonville, Fl., as pastor of the Bethabar Baptist institution church, which is the largest and most influential church of the parish in that state. During his church the church both in number and in the value of its property was humbled and were thousand of dollars raised. Later he built the greatest church in the educational work of the state, and the moderator of the association of which his church was a member. Subsequently, Ross was called to the First Baptist church of Nashville, Tenn., and during his pastorate there he built for that congregation a beautiful church, which was frequently called and church was frequently filled. Fish and Roger Willis universities. After a successful pastorate, he was called to Central Baptist church of Wilmington, N.C., and later to Emanuel Baptist church of Pittsburgh, Pa., whose membership at that time was 150. He attended upon his second pastorate of Trinity church, now known as Central Baptist church, of Jacksonville, Fl., and for this congregation he built a new church and served until called to becoming Baptist church of Maboning Avenue. Dr. Ross was an aunt minister of the greatest and a man of sterling Christian character. He is a valuable addition to the best thought of this community, and our people of Youngstown are to be congratulated. Dr. Ross was in Cleveland last week rendering Rev. Dr. C. B. Bailley of Antioch Baptist church, valuable assistance in his gospel meetings.

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.
Dr. Matilda A. Evans, we salute you! More power to your kind.
Wonder If Dr. Booker T. Washington is responsible for Taft and Dickinson's preaching "segregation for the southern Negro" and boosting it in the north? Read carefully the items in our "Doings of the Race" department on page 1, this week.
Current rumor has it that Dr. Booker T. made the New York Age "back up" in its righteous, though rather weak, criticisms of President Taft's administration. "Twas ever thus, with a certain kind of Negro. We expected it."
The Gazette is indented to one of its liveliest and best contemporaries, "The Mountain Leader," of Charleston, W. Va., for the excellent portrait of "Jack" Johnson and his mother given on our first page, last week. Many thanks, confere.
There are thousands of "Mrs Margaret Millers," in the southland and many, of course, in the north. This is no secret, but too. "delicate" a thing to discuss. Only casual reference is made to the thousands of wealthy "white" men in the south who Afro-American "sweecheats." What is this country's real moral status?
We congratulate Editor J. R. Clifford of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Presser Press on his success in securing the discharge of U. S. Commissoner Lemon of that district. It is a victory that will prove most helpful to all, of our people of that state and it will convince some people that West Virginia Afro-Americans, at least, have some rights that even prejudiced federal officials must respect. Brother Clifford, that was a good job of Lemon "squeezing," sure enough.
The Cleveland Gazette is making a bitter fight on what it is pleased to style a movement to establish a "jim crow" Young Men's Christian Association is we understand the whites of the barred Negroes from their Y. M. C. A. Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate
Our esteemed conferee "understands it" wrong. There are Afro-American members of the local Y. M. C. A., and the effort to increase the number will not be one-tenth that necessary to establish a "jmcrew" affair, were such a thing possible here in Cleveland.
There is no denying the fact that Afro-American women of Washington, D. C., and that section of the country, have in recent years developed a very marked penchant for marrying "white" men. The large number of cases of this kind in recent years, has astonished us many times. Indeed there have been more of this kind of mixed marriage than of our men with "white" women. The prevailing belief, generally, is that the opposite is true, but it is wrong. Here is another and a new phase of the much-discussed and many-sided "race problem."
U. S. Senator-elect Percy of Mississippi, not only defeated Ex-Gov. "Jim" Vardaman but also delivered a stinging lecture to him and his lik in that state and throughout the south, that ought to have excellent effect. The loud-mouthed anti-Negro blathersters of the "Tom" Dixon, Vardaman, Heilfm kind, were characterized by Mr. Percy as positive menaces to the peace, happiness and welfare of the south, and he is right! With this exception, the new senator seems to be a characteristic southern democrat. We are thankful, however, for the improvement, though not all we would have it.
So Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Ga., the new Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, before leaving for Washington, D. C., "journeyed to Tuskegee, Ala., Institute and had a very satisfactory conference with Dr. Washington, of whom he is an intense admirer, and by whose judgment on all things pertaining to the race he sets great store." All's well, now, we suppose. This disposes of the rumor that Henry was to succeed to Booker's seat in the Taft "kitchen cabinet." Therefore, let all join in the chorus and sing the great editor, Chas. A. Dana's imperishable poem:
"We'll be happy yet.— You bet."
Editor Smith of The Cleveland Gazette proposes that congress make Mat Henson a commodore or rear admiral. When it does a certain much talked of torrid region will be frozen over like the north pole—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Quite true—as to the "freeze." But we did not propose near so much, confre. We had no thought of Henson's being made a commodore, rear admiral or anything else. Only an official recognition, upon the part of congress or the executive branch of the government, of the important part Henson played in Pearls' discovery of the north pole, was ever dreamed of.
To this might be added a far or more thousand dollars, if congress would, and no harm be done anyone.
Just as we predicted several weeks ago, after that silly "newspaper decision" (against Sam Langford) was given Jim Flynn ("white," at the conclusion of their limited match in the west, the former was only "telling on" the latter, Flynn, his backers and friends "bit," arranged the fight that took place last week Thursday afternoon at the Vernon arena, Los Angeles, Cal. Result? Why Langford all but knocked off Flynn's head with one of his famous "upper-cuts." The latter showed clearly that he was no match for Langford. Indeed no heavy-weight pugilist of today is, with the exception of Jack Johnson. Joe Jeanette and Sam McVey, both Afro-Americans and better fighters than Jeffries is today, are not Langford's equal.
The editor of The Cleveland Gazette is anxious to have his position in the mixed school situation clearly understood. In all things touching schools The Gazette is a declared and positive mixer. All right, whose business is it? Durham (N. C.) Reformer. Every Afro-American, who really has the vital interests of his race at heart.
The Gazette is for mixed schools everywhere in the north (and the south, too, for that matter, wherever they are possible) because they are decidedly best for our people. They do most to keep down the handful prejudice which is gradually making it harder for our people to make a living as well as to exercise their God given and citizen rights in public places. To separate schools, more than to anything else, is to be attributed the growth of "jimcrowism" south and north. "Whose business is it?" confere? Yours and mine and that of all progressive Afro-Americans who are loyal to this race of ours.
Roosevelt "rode into popularity on the backs" of the black soldiers who saved his life and those of the members of his "Rough Rider". regiment left after the Spaniards had killed a number of them in that never-to-borgetten Cuban valley during the Spanish-American war. His thanks were a charge of cowardice, against these same black soldier-saviors, in his article published in Scribner's Magazine in April, 1899—at the close of the war, and his and Taft's unwarranted and inexcusable discharge without honor of "The Black Battalion" some of whom were among those who saved the "Rough Riders". Colonel and all in Cuba that memorable day. Commander Peary, whom Mt. Henson says he carried on his back the last twenty-five miles of the journey to the Pole, is busy lecturing and, according to Mrs. Henson, showing the usual American ingratiance to the Negro—absolutely ignoring the fact that her husband was even in the North Pole party with him (Peary) and his two Esquimau. "Twas ever thus. And still that is no reason why. Mrs. Henson and other members of the race should sit supinely by and quietly submit to such rank ingratiude, injustice and positive, insult! The American hog is not always four-legged.
MORE "JIMCROWISM" IN OHIO.
Negroes, a certain class of them are largely responsible for the recent growth of "jimcrowism" in Ohio. For a job or jobs, some of our people will stoop to almost anything. A few weeks ago, one stormy evening, we encountered on the streets of Cleveland, a well-known Columbus Negro who seemed bent on keeping his presence in the city a secret. It now develops that he was here studying Mayor Maschke-Baecher's "jimcrowism" which to date consists mainly of appointing Negroes to cuspidor-cleaning, garbage and water-closet inspecting jobs, and NOT to clerkships of any kind. This Columbus Negro returned home and this is the result:
Columbus, O., Mar. 9.—Mayor Marshall called Superintendent of Street Cleaning Sylvester Condon into his office Friday morning, asked for his resignation and shortly afterwards announced the appointment of Sylvester Spurlock to the position. The new superintendent was formerly connected with the sheriff's office. He is said to have made an excellent record. It is the intention of Mayor Marshall to turn over the street cleaning department to colored men pledged to work for the Marshall organization. In speaking of appointing Spurlock, Mayor Marshall said: "My colored constituents have been worrying me to teeth for positions, and proposed to find them places in the street cleaning department which will be under the direction of Mr. Spurlock."
This move on the part of Mayor Marshall has caused widespread dissatisfaction among the colored people, who object to "Jim Crow" methods in city administration, and above all to having members of their race assigned particularly to one department simply because of their color. They believe they are entitled to recognition wholly upon their citizenship, and such civil positions as available for them. The position pays $1,500 a year, and the superintendent will have a colored clerk at $900, besides many other places.
Mayor Marshall of Columbus and Mayor Maschke-Baehr of this city differ as to the appointment of Negroes as clerks, the former - gaining this point. But the latter is a little in the lead as far as a lack of segregation of Negro city employees is concerned. The point we wish to emphasize, however, is the fact that the "jimcrow Negro is invariably near the bottom of all such backward movements, always the willing tool of prejudice "whites." It is so also in the weak effort of certain local "jimcrow" Negroes of the Baehr-Maschke political machine to foist a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A on our people of Cleveland.
TAFT AND "REPUBLICAN" CONGRESSMEN.

Then, too, what has any or all of these "Republican congressmen" done or even said in the house of representatives or elsewhere, in defense of or for the race? What has any or all of them done? For a single one or all of their Afro-American constituents, that is calculated to give us the slightest interest in their success at the polls in November? We would be a lot of the biggest kind of foofs, not to be "doing a powerful lot of thinking." these days. The old Republican campaign "jolly" does not "go down, the threats" of Ohio Afro-American voters as it did in years gone by, and a number of "Republican congressmen," a certain Republican president and others are going to find this out to their sorrow at the proper time. The "good and welfare" of "the party" does not appeal to us any more, because "the party," as now constituted and controlled and led (by Taft), is positively and dangerously injurious to our rights, liberty and freedom, and "Republican congressmen" have nothing to say, and do nothing, just as if they were Democrats and had absolutely no interest at all in our "good and welfare."
The Afro-American should refrain from voting this fall or so vote as to help defeat all such "Republican congressmen." Better by far an open, out and out enemy of the race in congress than a Republican "wolf in sheeps' clothing" or one of the Taft southern-sympathizing or do-nothing kind. We are Republicans of the "old school"—believe in the party and principles of Fremont, Lincoln, Grant, Tourgeau, Douglass, Langston and their kind, and not in the present day mess that kow-tows to the south and southern democracy upon every conceivable occasion. Better a northern democrat in congress or in the presidency than the "wolf in sheeps' clothing" kind of Republican (2) of today. O. yes, we "are doing a powerful lot of thinking."

INSURGENTS LOSE IN REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
REGULARS WIN BY SELECTING
SIX MEMBERS OF COMMIT-
TEE OF TEN MEN.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN DALZELL
OF PENNSYLVANIA HEADS
THE LIST.
Washington, D. C. - John Dalzell,
Pennsylvania.
Walter L. Smith, Iowa.
J. Shot Fassett, New York.
Henry S. Bontelle, Illinois.
Sylvester C. Smith, California.
George P. Lawrence, Massachusetts.
These are the representatives elected,
by the Republican caucus, which
was called to select six members of
the committee of ten to constitute the
new committee on rules of the house
of repsentatives.
The six members agreed upon by the leaders were voted for as a state representing the anti-insurgent forces which recently, with Democratic assistance, provided for a new committee from which Speaker Cannon was specifically excluded. Cannon was beaten, but Dalzell, his first and ablest aid de camp, is triumphantly elected.
The insurgents, who after consultation, went into the caucus opposed to the principle of a cut and dried ticket during a period of reform and revolution. They put up their own candidates, but were of course slaughtered before they reached the breastworks. By the same token, so was Nicholas Longworth, who is not an insurgent. Mr. Norris, the insurgent chief, was nominated, but withdrew. There was some method in this withdrawal because Norris was certain he would get only the votes of the insurgents.
The election of the Tawney-Cannon ticket was a finished production from start to finish. It was procrained. Messrs. Tawney and Payhe, in opening the meeting, uttered the most vent aspirations for honesty and fair play. The regulars, however, went into the fray on the quiet with harmony in one hand and the knife and the ballot in the other. The only thing now left for the insurgents to do is to combine at all times with the Democrats whenever the new committee, composed of Cannon's friends; do or permit to do anything that needs regulation. A new phase of the fight which dethroned Cannon may therefore be expected at any time. The Cannon party is in high feather. The insurgents did not expect to win. They had the boldness, however, to oppose a party ticket in the caucus. They are, therefore, still fighting the regulars.

Del.-A tall southerner, after some words with a porter on the Royal Blue Limited train on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which left Washington at 3 p.m. for New York, shot and killed Samuel Williams, a negro porter, as the train was running nearly a mile a minute. When O. E. Wellman, the conductor of the train appeared, the southerner turned his automatic pistol on him, too. The conductor fell, shot through the left side near the heart, as the porter had been.
This was some miles out of Wilmington. The train ran to Wilmington after this shot, and a battle with the southerner and the police followed. After two men had been wounded the police killed the southerner, who from papers on his body is believed to have been J. H. Bebea of Dillon, S. C.

Pa Was Waltling.
In the days when Milwaukee people kept chickens in their back yards, the father of the family—a citizen who has bachelor become one of the big business men of the town, was commissioned for the Sunday dinner. Disliking the usual method of wringing the fowl's peek, father decided to take down his old gun and shoot the doomed bird. Little Harry, of course, accompanied "pop" to the back yard when he went forth, armed to do the chicken to death.
Minutes passed and mother began to grow impatient. Looking out of the kitchen window she saw her lord, armed with his trusty gun, standing at attention, following with his weapon on the chicken as it pecked its unconscious way about the yard.
"What's the matter, out there?" cried mother, "can't, you hit that chicken!"
Father said never a word but continued grimly to follow the chicken. "It's all right, ma," said Harry with a grin. "Pa's waitin' for the chicken to get in the way."—Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Delinquent Children in France.
The government of France sends delinquent children to a farmer's family, pays a stated sum a week, for board, and lodging and pays for clothes and the doctor. The child must be sent to a public school. The cost of all this is far less than keeping up institutes, and, furthermore, these French children of the vengeance of crime and misfortune usually stay on the soil and become healthy, expert farmers and good, saving citizens. How to manage the delinquent city kid is getting to be one of the most serious question of white civilisation.

Some of our very best talent in the theatrical profession will be in our city on account of laying off during the Lenten season and have expressed a willingness to assist us in making this event one long to be remembered. A prize will be given to the best dressed lady and gentleman—so come prepared to get them. Refreshments will be served.

Every other class of Republicans in this community received better representation in the service of the city than ours. Remember this!
William Brown, 42, of 282S Central avenue, S. E., was severely cut about the face and hands with a razor in a fight Monday night on Central avenue, S. E., near East Thirtieth street. He was taken to Charity hospital in John I. Nunn's ambulance. Patrolman Stasny of the third precinct police station arrested a man near the scene, who gave his name as John Sweeney, 37, and said that he lives at 3008 Central avenue, S. E. He was charged with cutting to wound.
with jubilee songs and folk music the Fisk Jubilee quartet entertained Cleveland audiences this week. They sang at the First Congregational church, Franklin avenue, N. W., and West. Forty-fifth street; at Winder mere M. E. church, Euclid avenue and Holyoke street, East Cleveland; at Westminster Presbyterian church Wade Park avenue and Addison road N. E. and at the First Congregational church in Collinwood. This is the thirty-ninth season for Fisk university quartets.
The Nonpareil club gave its initial party at Mr. Jos, Seelig's, 217 East Seventy-first street, on the 16th, and it proved very enjoyable indeed: The decorations were beautiful. American Beauty roses were on each table with the club colors, pink and white. Those present were: Messrs. Don Mashat, Alfred McKinney, Jos. Seelig, jr, Roy Smith, Fred Diggs, Osborn Dyson, Howard Lash and Millard Case; Misses Flossie Moxley, Myrtle Mashat, Benilla Arnett, Carrie Hill, Grace Lacey, Estella Huston, Mamie Chinn and Hazel Mountain, Music and games.
When Mart. Johnston starts and is backed up by the Elks, there is no stopping him short of brilliant success. He is an indefatigable worker, enterprising and affable in the extreme. That's why he succeeds! He managed the last great concert and ball given by the Elks as well as others. He is in charge of the Elks' Monday evening Easter concert and ball at Haltnorth's hall. You know what that means? Everybody will have a swell time; that there will be the best of order; all the latest and best in music, daffies, grand march, etc., etc. The Gazette urges its readers to attend the concert or ball or both and have a real good and beneficial time.
"The Rising Cost of Living" is a symposium in The Delbearator for April to which ten distinguished men representing different walks of life contribute. The whole field of high prices is covered, as each of the writers takes a different angle. "The American Farmer's Wife—Her Problem" helps solve the puzzling question of the woman on the farm. Rhea Childe Dorr handles the church problem in "The Institutional Church." The fiction is by Zona Gale, Richard Washburn Child, Grace MacGowan Cooke, and a new serial, "The Unforeseen," is begun by Mary Stewart Cutting. The early summer fashions are set forth attractively in color and in words of authority. The number is well balanced and pleasing.
Many People Take Their Own Lives.
St. Petersburg, Russia. The elimax to a remarkable series of suicides among women and children reached here when three young women, the two sisters Kolmann, 20 and 16, and their friend, Mlle. Lauriez, heirs to $10,000,000, kept a suicde pact.

Personal, and Church
News.
Buffalo, N. Y.—The local sales agent of The Gazette has been confined to the house for nearly two weeks. The local readers will be supplied as usual by Cunningham Gordon. A large number of our young men (youths) have promised to hear Mrs C. H. Banks Friday afternoon, (under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatley club in her talk, "Is the Young Man Absolon Safe?" The Anahita Demain club has a surprise in its presentations of "A Flower of Yedo and "Fudge and a Burglar," at the auditorium,—St. Phillips Women's Auxiliary will conduct their annual Easter social, Monday night.—A large circle of friends are mourning the deme of our genial townman, Richard Van Nakenburg. The funeral services were under the direction of McMahon Post, G. A. R. of which he was an honored member—death has claimed several of our citizens in the past week, prominent among them being Mr. James Alexander. There are many on the sick list. The social at Mr. and Mrs. Homer Howe, last Friday, was well patronized and the young misses wish to thank all that helped.—All the churches will have special Easter services, Sunday. The program at the Christian Culture congress will be an interesting and elaborate one. Dr. Nayler, principal speaker. The correspondent bears that the wives and daughters of Tyre Lodge, F. and A. M. members have all the dressmakers busy in preparation for their grand annual Easter ball. Many friends from Rochester, Niagara Falls, Lockport, Erie and surrounding towns will be in the city in attendance.
Hill Talks on Abuse of Wealth.
St. Paul, Minn. "The conservation of credit and a warning against the riotous abuse of private and public wealth was the theme of an unpassed address by James J. Hill chairman of the Great Northern rail road directors, before the Minnesota Conservation Congress here. Among the things he said were: 'We are living in an age of world-wide financial delirium. Most nations have thrown away moderation in the spending of money. The potential dangers of credit are great."
Sam Langford Whips Jim Flynn.
Los Angeles, Cal. The term "sent to dreamland" is sometimes used without due consideration in describing prize fights, but Jim Flynn certainly took the trip at Vipers arena. He dropped face downward after receiving a whizzy right upper out from Sam Langford in the eight round and although he managed to pull himself together and stand swaying on his feet before 12 seconds had clapped, his senses were still dulled. Referee Eyton then took him to his corner.
Tariff War With France Averted.
Rochester, N. Y. There will be no tariff war with France President Taft is announced that a complete agreement with that nation has been reached. Both sides have made some concessions, and A. M.any the president signed a proclamation, giving to France the 25 per cent reduction of rates provided for in the maximum and minimum choice of the Payne-Aldrich law. While the tariff situation with Canada books rather closely the president still has hope of reaching a satisfactory agreement.
San Francisco, Cal. Millions will buy much, but they will not purchase sleep. This has been the experience of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Jr., formerly Miss Virginia, Fair. She came to California because she has suffered from insomnia. She has not slept for nine nights. Thinking that the city of her girlhood might back the much desired sleep she can bercic, but among her many friends she must live in a whirl of excitement, and her trouble has only been aggravated instead of helped. She will go south.
San Francisco, Cal.-The police stopped the marathon dance at Dreamland rink here after five of the seven couples that entered had danced incessantly for 15 hours and three minutes. What was advertised as a dance to a finish gave fair promise of being a dance to the death when the police interfered. One woman collapsed when taken to the dressing rooms and physicians worked over her for several hours before she could be removed to her home.

For Lame Back
An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates—without rubbing—through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief.
Here's the Proof.
Here's the Proof.
Mr. J. Kramer, with St. K. S. E. Washington, D.C. writes: "Thirty years ago I fell from a scaffold and serried at time; from a small back at time; from a small of my back all around my stomach was just as if I were a giant. Every plaster I could get with no relief. Sloan's Liniment took the pain right away as any man in the shop, she thought.

Quaker Oats is the best of all foods; it is also the cheapest. When such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale-University and Sir James Crichton Browne, LL.D. F.R.S. of London spend the best part of their lives in studying the great question of the nourishing and strengthening qualities of different foods, it is certain that their advice is absolutely safe to follow. Professor Fisher found in his experiments for testing the strength and endurance of athletes that the meat eaters were exhausted long before the men who were fed on such food as Quaker Oats. The powers of endurance of the non-meat eaters were about eight times those of the meat eaters. Sir James Crichton Browne says—eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and eat it frequently. 59

WHERE SHE HAD HEARD IT
Mrs. Jackson Quite Confident She Had Picked Out a Biblical Name for Her Boy.
The late Bishop Gallier was once asked to baptize a negro baby boy.
"Name this child," he said, addressing Mrs. Jackson, the mother of the black mite.
"Hallud."
"That's a strange name, Mrs. Jackson," remarked the bishop, hastily.
"I capture name," rejoined the happy mother, with a confident grin:
"I never saw it in the Bible."
"Why, bishop, how kin yuh stan' up dar kiddin' a ole ignorant niggha lalk I is? Yuh says dat name whenevah yuh says de Lawd's prayer—Hallud be, thy name!"—Success Magazine.
HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?
Simple Prescription Said to Work Wonders for Rheumatism. This has been well known to the best doctors for years and is now given to the public. "Get one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparillin compound and one ounce Toris compound. Then get half a pint of good whiskey and put the other two ingredients into it. Take a tablespoonful of this mixture before each meal and at bed time. Shake the bottle before using." Good effects are felt the first day. Many of the worst cases here have been cured by this. Any druggist has these ingredients on hand or will quickly get them from his wholesale house.

The Cross In History, Art And Legend

AT THIS season when all the world-over people of many races and tongues are meditating on the Cross of Christ; when long sermons are being held in memory of the greatest tragedy on Golgotha, and processions are solemnly marching to the stations of the Cross, bearing banners and crucifixes, and bowing reverently before altars and pictures commemorating the sorrowful walk to vary; when in the Holy Land thousands of pilgrims from many nations are treading the vera "La Dolorosa" on which he trod; he left the Holy City forever carrying his cross to the "Accursed Hill" outside the walls; it may have interest to consider the history and traditions of this wonderful symbol under which we live and in the name of which so much has been wrought of world-wide good, to humanity, anc. alas! of great harm through Christian fanatism.
Perhaps there is no other object on earth about which there has been more controversy, more dissensions and more superstitions than about this one great object for reverence on the one side, and for derision on the other. Ever since the crucifixion it has left a strong impress on the history of the nations and has been revered in the religion of all the sects bearing the name of Christ. It has been surrounded by traditions and mysticism and endowed with supernatural and miraculous attributes. It has been taken as the emblem of a faith under the banner of which great deeds of herodian have been done, as in olden days when pioneer messengers of the Story of the Cross filled with religious zeal entered bravely into uncivilized and barbarian lands, fearlessly ignoring great dangers.
Heralded by Christian banners the procession of civilization has spread to all parts of the world. Romans carried it to the Britons and Saxons. The worship of the sin as observed by the Incas was brought to an end through the ascendancy of Spanish bearers of the cross.
In more recent times Spanish monks, with peace in their hearts, amid many hardships, wrested from the aborigines the western coast of our own country, where they erected many missions to spread the teachings of Christianity. The influence of the cross so entirely filled the minds of its followers that it became the center subject of the paintings of the old masters and in time permeated not only the spirit of this art, but also that of architecture, for we find throughout the great Christian architecture of the Middle Ages and in all forms of, medieval decoration this sign of the cross standing out conspicuously. The very foundations of the edifices which were erected in commemoration of faith in this symbol to
Birthday of Hope
Why Easter Morning is the Symbol of the Soul's Resurrection.
Easter morning is the symbol of the soul's resurrection; the birthday of the hope, the natal day of its spiritual life. From the first moment of its dawning light sanshine illumined the world's sorrow and music cheered its march to the tomb. Every conqueror in Christ goes through life with a
loved the lines of a cross, so that the very walls from their foundations upward might carry with them as they rose the image of the sacred sign, to receive its crowning figure displayed in the ridge line of its roofs. Crosses, in an endless variety of forms, still surmount the loftiest and finest parts of the church and churches of Europe. Above the tombs of the departed or even in the pavements of the church above the monumental vaults in these cathedrals this same sign proclaims the faith of those who rest beneath.
Being the keynote and the "glory" of the Christian religion this emblem soon became prized in other directions besides those ecclesiastical. With the triflum of Christianity the cross at once was recognized as a universal symbol of highest nobility and honor. It was now considered to add dignity to the crowns and scepters of emperors and princes. It became the proudest ensign of knightly rank. The greatest warriors were proud to see the crown on the hilt of their swords as shield of their armor and their feight. It also became a sign of morif for valor and bravery—a reward for deeds of honor, as the iron cross of Prussia established by William III, for patriote bravery in war.
It was worn also as a protection in times of trouble. To denote the conscription of those devoted to the aid of the suffering and needy; the Red Cross was the confederation of societies in different countries for the betterment of conditions of the wounded soldiers in campaigns on land and sea. In Crusader days, beginning with Peter the Hermit, in 1044, starting out to deliver the Holy Land from the dominion of the infidel, the brave warriors were thus named, because of the red cross they wore as badges on their right shoulders.
The archbishop's crozier—the ensign of his office—is the staff with a cross head, distinguishing it from the "pastoral" staff of bishops and abbots; which have a shepherd's crook.
Thus has been experienced the saying of Justin Martyr so many years ago—that "the sign of the cross was impressed upon the whole of nature. There is hardly a handcraftsman also but uses the figure of it among the implements of his industry. It forms a part of man himself." Man has been created in this form as has been beautifully illustrated by Emily Collier in the painting deploring the Holy Child's expression of his love—"So wide is his heart." In the middle ages and in Crusader days the cross was the distinctive symbol of the Christian in contradiction to the Crescent of the Mohammedan. The custom of marking one's signature by a cross was first adopted by Christians in the year 110 to distinguish them from the pagans, and it stood for a silent oath.
The early Christians immediately used this sign, which was connected with their religion, as a secret message to one another in their first days of persecution. Mingling with the persecutors of their faith, they could thus make themselves known to each other without calling the attention of those around them. In visiting the catacombs in Rome, where they hid from fear of their persecutors, it is intently interesting to notice that the sign so sacred to them is carved and engraved all around the walls of their prison cells and above the tombs of their brethren.

song and a smile, while his heart and his hope are anchored in the skies.
The miracle of the Easter lily is nature's parable of this truth. Its lustrous whiteness combs out of the black refusal at its roots, its fragrance out of the foothold of decay. By some mysterious alchemy the lovely transformation was wrought. The touch of heaven gave it its purity and sweetness. Such is the spiritual Easter of the soul. And in that miracle Jesus lifts humanity back to God.—D. M. Pratt.

Airing, the Poodle
The messenger boy towed the leading lady's pet dog in front of the big ventilation fan and took him. "Great Scott, boy!" exclaimed a bystander, excitedly. "Do you want to blow that dog away? Why, that tan is worse than a cyclone." A messenger boy with a paint can held him there and got aired. That blooming actress hires me two hours every day to air her blooming kilochole, and I want him to get enough of it."

"A Buffalo man brought a relative from Scotland here to say our grand spectacle. The two gazed at the tall in silence a long time. Then the Buffalo man heaved a sigh and said:

"The Scratchman, after a moment's thought, answered calmly:

Coffee blots out the sunshine from many a home by making the mother, or some other member of the household, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one.
A Wis. mother writes:
"I was taught to drink coffee at an early age and also at an early age became a victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them.
"About five years ago a friend urged me to try Pestum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used it ever since.
"My husband and little daughter were subject to billos attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Pestum instead of coffee. I no longer have headaches and my health is perfect."
If some of these tired, nervous, irritable women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Possum they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weariness and discontent. And think what an effect the world have on the family, for the end of the mother is largely responsible for the impact of the children.

Fighting Disease in Greece.
Consul General George Horton has made a report from Athens on the conspicuous work of Greek physicians in combating the country's chief scourges—malaria fever and tuberculosis. An annual average of 2,000 persons die each year from these diseases, due to excessive rains, the number exceeds 6,000, which was the case in 1905. The population of Greece is 2,433,806. The people have been interested through lectures, pamphlets, etc., to fight the malaria carrying mosquito by draining stagnant pools and throwing petroleum on them. A tuberculosis congress will be held at Athens next year, to which will be invited not only physicians, but all the mayors and other prominent people of Greece.
A. Big Shortage in Secds.
From almost all sections comes the report on trufflite shortages in seed corn, also some varieties of seed barley, and the types of corn and the early varieties of potatoes. This is particularly noticeable in the corn and oat and corn growing states.
**Tales:** The great states of Nebraska and Iowa are suffering from a darth of seed corn as we never saw farmers in those and other states are placing their orders early for above seeds in order to be on the soil side when it is written to the John A. Salter Seller write at once to the John A. Salter Seller for their farm seed and corn catalogue.
The magnitude of the business of this country is the somewhat estimated when one knows in ordinary years they sell: *pure* corn, *pure baskets of seed potatoes*, *pure baskets of seed oats*, *pure baskets of seed corn*, *pure baskets of pure clover and thinly seed, together with an enclosed table seeds such as oats, cabbage, carrots, peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes.
