Mourning Apparel SHELL THE death of England's king throws nearly all the courts of Europe into mourning and in consequence the subjects of mourning apparel and mourning etiquette are up for consideration more generally than for many years. Customs change slowly, especially those which rule in matters of greatest moment. Rules of etiquette governing in the events of death, marriage, births and social functions of high importance have all been carefully thought out and are the crystallized expressions of consideration for others. They are formulated from the conduct of those whose good taste and keen intuitions put them in position to set examples. Much latitude is allowed individual taste in the matter of mourning apparel. Some people decry any special dress for those in mourning, on the ground that we should not divide our sorrows with others. But the great majority feel that the assumption of mourning attire is imperative as a sign of respect to the dead or to his family ag well as an outward token of a sense of loss. To ignore a death seems to cast a slight upon the worth of the departed soul; therefore, an increasing number of persons in the best social circles assume what is called "complimentary mourning." This is either a badge of mourning of some sort, or the wearing of black for a short term. This is a different matter from the mourning apparel assumed by members of a family. Complimentary mourning does not involve the restrictions which that of relatives assumes. Certain fabrics are chosen for those in mourning. These are crape, silk genadine, nuns-velling, bombazine, net, uncut velvet, crepe-de-chine, mourning silks, felt, volle and other fabrics of a jet black hue and soft luster or dull finish. Crape is recognized as the correct fabric for first mourning everywhere, and is in fact the insignia of mourning. Crape is used as a finish, or decoration, on other fabrics, and sometimes entire garments are made of it. It is a beautiful fabric made of silk and having FOR YOUNG LADY. This is a very smart frock suitable to be made in cashmere, silk and wool crepon, or any fine woolen. The corsetlet bodice and side of skirt are cut in one to below hips; 1910 the front is a panel to foot; the lower part of side and back of skirt is platted; braiding forms the trimming on skirt and front of bodice, a simple border being worked at edge of the shoulder straps. The under-slip is of pieces lace. Materials required: 6 yards 46 inches wide, 2 yards 18 inches wide for under-slip. Like a Rose. The rosette on a plain sailor hat gives all the richness necessary. Folded like a rose into a round shape, a bliss piece of Persian silk has been so manipulated that its final effect would suggest both expense and art. THE GAZETTE diagonal rib or crinkle across the surface. It is made in both dull and silky luster; the dull finish is considered the more elegant. Recently it is much used in dress accessories, such as collars, cuffs and bands, and stoles and muffs, for those in deep mourning. Silk grindane is very generally worn in this country for vellies, as shown in Fig. 1. It is light in weight, supple and durable. It is used in the open weaves for face vellies and is often bordered. For summer, large mesh silk vellies, bordered with a fold of crape, are worn, with millinery made of or trimmed with these materials, the crape nearly always appearing in a flat border or fold. English manufacturers have succeeded in waterproofing these fabrics so that rain or moisture does them no harm. The transition from deep mourning to colors is accomplished gradually. After a certain period of time, more or less long at the discretion of the wearer, the mourning veil is disgarded; next crape is eliminated. The attire is next all black, but not necessarily of recognized mourning fabrics. After black, gray, the cold lavender and white are worn. White may be worn with black accessories for mourning, and is correct, but is more often assumed for what is called "second mourning" that is, in the period of transition from mourning to colors. There is nothing so dignified and nothing more elegant than a well-chosen mourning costume. In choosing models or patterns for making mourning gowns or hats (or any garment) plain, neat and elegant designs are correct. Nothing "fussy" is admissible. No extremes of the mode are to be considered. For millinery neither very large or very small hats, but those in shapes which are always worn should be selected. Exquisite workmanship must characterize the work of both milliner and dressmaker. Fortunately the regular mourning fabrics, crape, bombazine and nips velling, all are adapted to the sort of work required. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. USEFUL FOR THE TRAVELER Pin Case An Almost Indispensable *Requisite When One Is on a Journey. A new form of the well-known pin case for traveling is being shown just now that makes acceptable prizes or a present for European travelers. The case is formed like a wallet with a flap at the side that buttons over with a patent clasp. This is made of cardboard covered first with cotton batting, then with cretonne, fancy broaches, ribbons or with an embroidered linen case. Inside there is a single leaf adjusted to back of case like the page of a book. This is covered on both sides with white elderdown or flannel, which is carried over to line the sides of case as well. In this lining is stuck on the outer cast safety pins in all sizes and colors. On both sides of the inner page are arranged big headed pins in various sizes and color. These can form fancy borders or a star figure below and a border or other artistic grouping. These cases may be made in any convenient size; one four by five inches gives plenty of space. Silk Seams. The making of a silk blouse is rendered all the more difficult, where the home dressmaker is concerned, by the fact that the seam to lie flat must be ironed, while a hot iron is only too apt to mark the silk 'indelibly. By far the best course to pursue is that of passing each seam, open or closed, over the upturned edge of a warm iron. With both hands the seam should be pulled taut and slowly passed over the iron, care being taken to avoid touching more than the seam with the point or side and thereby marking the material underneath. About Vells. When money is scarce there seems nothing that runs away with one's money so fast as veils. Their life is a very short-lived one and often a misadventure ruins them as soon as bought. Yet we must wear them if we want to look smart, and to buy cheap ones is morse than useless, and they never look well from the day they are bought. The truest economy is to buy fine net by the yard, says the Woman's Life. It cuts to better advantage, you get four veils for the price of one, and it is of a far better quality and lasts longer than if you buy vellifying pure and simple.

Plancheville, La. A. A. prejudiced "white" Catholic committee called upon their pastor, Rev. C. Biahle, here, recently, to request that Afro-Americans be given a portion of the church, a separate portion of the communion table and a separate portion of the priesthood. They refused to do any such foolish thing and took offense at the action of the committee, preaching a sermon the following Sunday in which those who took part in the movement were termed hypocrites and meddlers. Good! Father Biahle said that the next time such a committee should call upon him he would walk out of the church and turn over his house to them. Bishop Van de Ven, in whose diocese Plancheville is located, who was in the city a few days, the guest of Rev. Father Priebus, was spoken to by the subject he knew that a great deal of trouble was due to the fact that the "whites" are anxious to drive Afro-Americans out of the church, and, this, of course, no pastor would countenance. "I advised the 'white' Catholics," Bishop Van de Ven said, "some time ago that the colored people must have the rights in the Catholic church to which they are entitled. They must not be driven from the church."

COCHRAN SHOCKED BY FEARFUL LIES WHICH AN ASSOCIATED PRESS REPRESENTATIVE APPARENTLY PUT IN HIS MOUTH. DEFENDED LAD OF THE RACE Who Was Charged With Murder in New York City Recently—The Motive Which Prompted the Contemptible Act of the Matterious Associated Press Representative. On June 9, 1910, the dirty, prejudiced Cleveland Daily News, in connection with its account of the acquittal of William Nelson, a Cleveland boy, in New York City, on a murder charge, published the following paragraphs: "Nelson was lucky in securing Cochran for his counsel. The latter, with Judge Hornhower and Judge Untermer, noted New York jurists, had criticized members of the New York bench for appointing incompetent attorneys to defend innocuous prisoners. The bench retaliated by appointing the three great lawyers to defend ordinary murder cases. Cochran was assigned to the Neison case. "I can scarcely expect you to treat this Negro like a peer. Then treat him like a dog," said Cochran to the jury, in his summing up of the case. Yes, that bites sensitively, but a dog that bites sensitively will kill, but a dog that bites in defense of his master's home we protect. Men have given their lives in defense of such a dog. Give any client the same shrift you would give such a dog. "I am sure that you all feel a prejudice against a Negro. I feel the same prejudice myself. I once stop ad in a hotel where there were private baths. I started to take a bath and found that a Negro was using the tub. Do you think I bathed in that tub afterward? I could not. It was prejudice that I could not rid myself of, and do not feel that such prejudice can be avoided." At that time we took occasion to say in *The Gazette* that we did not believe Mr. Cochran, as loyal an Irishman as ever lived, ever gave utterance to such a distrain because he is too big a man, both mentally and physically, to stoop to such depths in an effort to strike a vital thrust at a struggling people. It did not seem possible, to us. We went the entire dirty News article to him with a request that he let us hear from him as soon as his time would permit. And Mr. Cochran, one of the greatest orators and lawyers in the world, is a very busy man, but not too busy to answer, as the following will show. I have received your letter, I AM DEEPLY SHOCKED that such language should have been attributed to me. I EMBOTIMES EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I SAID TO THE JURY IN THE NELSON CASE). Describing and deploring the racial injustice of white and colored men, expresses my concern whether the jurors could judge the defendant as if he were one of their own color, appreciating his thoughts, measuring his fears, and realizing his difficulties. But I told them that in this particular case it was not necessary that they should regard the defendant as if he were one of their own color, appreciating his thoughts, measuring his fears, and realizing his difficulties. But they told them that in this particular case it was not necessary that they should regard the defendant as if he were of their own family, of their own race, or even of their own species. If they would but give him the shrift they would give a dog committed to their care, I had no doubt that their verdict would be in his favor. By publishing a few isolated sentences of his crimes, I am convinced an exceedingly erroneous impression broadcast throughout the country. As a great many persons have asked for a copy of my address, and as I understand the stenographer took it in full, I am much inclined to ask him for a transcript, so that I can judge whether it be worth preserving in type. If I decide to have it printed, I shall gladly send you a copy, confident that it will remove entirely from your mind an impression so injurious to the procedure of our courts and to myself. Yours very sincerely, W. HOUORK COCHRAN, P. S.—The newspaper clipping which you enclosed is herewith returned. It is the third paragraph of the dirty Cleveland Daily News article, published above, that is the most offensive and harmful. It is clear to be seen, on its very face, that it was written with a designed purpose to increase prejudice against our people and assist the south in its fight here in the north to narrow as much as possible the exercise of our citizen rights in all public places. And when it is remembered, as Mr. Cochran intimates in his letter to the editor of The Gazette, that the Associated Press sent the News distribe throughout the country to the daily papers, something as to the harm done our people can be imagined. As encouragement to prejudice against Afro-Americans in northern public places, particularly, and to the southern propaganda against us everywhere in this country, it was is most powerful. How low, contemptible, malicious, vicious and prejudiced must be the mind and individual who coined the lies in that article that were placed, apparently, in the mouth of that great MAN, W. Bourke Cochran! May God forgive him! The scoundrel! DOINGS OF THE RACE. The Afro-American's splendid increase in acquiring property in the south is indicated in the following: There is an article in our local columns, page 3, taken from the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Read it carefully. George W. Walker (who is still ill) of Williams and Walker returned to New York City last week. Tuesday from his home in Lawrence, Kan., accompanied by G.

Humphry Reynolds, a member of the race, invented the main part of the ventilatin machinery for Pullman cars. He was porter on these cars at the time.

Mrs. Cook has a New Orleans has only one high school for a population of 700,000 Afro-Americans.

Another result of Booker T. Washington's industrial education crusade. The most noted Negro inventor of the 19th century was an electrician of New York. He has patented forty or more devices, all relating to the control of electricity. One of these he sold to the Bell Telephone Company for $10,000. He and his brother have a company in New York handling electrical machinery, much of it of their own invention. Next to Woods as a prolific inventor is Elijah McCoy of Detroit. His devices are nearly all related to the utilization of machinery. They have been used for years in shipments, railroads, etc., and have brought him a fortune. Zeffeldt's *Follicles of 1916* opened last week Monday on the New York Theatre roof. Bert. Williams, the greatest comedian in the English-speaking world today, is the only Afro-American member of the exceptionally large company, and this is what the New York Daily World of last week Tuesday has to say of him and "Follicles of 1916": "Bert. Williams, the Negro comedian, sang three of his most famous songs. Consolley: 'The Black Cat' Belie Me, and threw all that had preceded him in the sluice. He has more real talent than all the rest of the cast combined." Karl K. Kitchen, writing the Cleveland Plain Dealer from New York City, had the following in its last Sunday's issue: "The big cast is headed by Bert Williams, late of the team of Williams and Walker. Many people consider Williams the funniest low comedian on the stage, and there is little doubt that he is by far the funniest man of the company that is presenting *The Follicles of 1916*. He does his special, of course, in which he numbered 100 of his amusing songs as only he can sing them. One of his songs, called *Constantly*, is almost as good as his famous "Nobody," and his rendition of *The Barber Shop Cord* gets half a dozen encounters at every performance." It was a Cuban Negro named J. N. Maltzeler who made 'the basic patent for sewing the soles on shoes, and if he had been up to snuff he would have been worth millions when he died, that machinery today bringing thousands in the way of royalty, would have been a bigger bler in Lynn, Mass. He originated a company to put the machine on the market, but was flim-flammed out of a majority of the stock. At the time of his death, however, he still held some of the shares, which he thought would never be of value. He willed these to a Baptist church in Lynn. Many years later the church became badly mortgaged and when the officers were hunting a way out of the indebtedness they pulled out old loans, they sold them for $150 more than enough to lift the mortgage.—Henry E.

St. Paul, Minn.--Among the sixteen new priests of the Roman Catholic church who were ordained to the priesthood at St. Paul Seminary on a recent Wednesday morning by Rt. Rev. Patrick J. Hifton was Rev. Stephen L. Theobald, a native of British Guiana. He has the distinction of being the first of the race to be educated in a northern seminary. He is thirty-five years old and was educated in the Cathedral common school of Georgetown, D. C., and afterwards in St. Stanislaus college, conducted by the Jesuit fathers, where he studied theology and philosophy. He graduated from the University the junior diploma of the University of Cambridge in England, and after a postgraduate course in classes at Queen's college of British Guiana, he took the senior diploma of Cambridge. Having studied law for several years, Rev. Theobald went to Canada in 1904 for the purpose of engaging in the profession. The field in Montreal proving undesirable, he turned his attention to journalism, and for sixteen months was attached to the editorial staff of the Montreal Daily Star. In December, 1905, Rev. Theobald left the Canadian city for this city as an enterpriser and an expositor as an expositor student under the patronage of Archbishop John Ireland. As a theologian, Rev. Theobald headed his class with three first prizes and two second prizes to his credit. He will reside at the seminary until assigned a parish by Archbishop Ireland. SCARBOROUGH · RE-ELECTED.

ROOSEVELT NO FRIEND. “While the American people of other classes dre making much of Col. ‘Titco- dore Roosevelt, {€ will not he amiss for us to remember that he not only charged the Afro-American soldiers who saved his and his “Rough Riders" lives in Caba, with cowardice, in Me- Clure’s magazine, on his return from that country, but that he also “kicked” 167 innocent members of the Twenty- Afth United States infantry out of the army, as a result of that alleged “shooting -up" of Brownsville, ‘Texas, in 1906, and that President. Taft, his secretary of war, not only helped to do this latter, but that he has also been successful in 50 arranging mat ters as to apparently forever keep them’ out of the army and from get- ting Justice. These facts mean some- thing to every loyal member of the race. “JImerow” Negroes, only effect to.ignore them and prate| of Roose velt’'s alleged . “frlendsbip. for the Face.” So disgusting! Such “cattle” are indeed the bane of the race. - A MONSTROUS “LAW.” The Portland (Ore.) Advocate says Louisiana has recently cnrcted an anti-miscegenation law that is morc rigid than any similar Inw in all the south, According to our contempo- rary, it prohibits a “white” person in that state from Hying with any per- son of color, the Japanese excepted. The Jaw Is emphatic in, Its generality, and expressly says that no person, whether Negro, octoroon, quadroon or any person of color, no ‘matter how long’they have been married, shall-be permitted (o live with a “white” per- son. The injustice of this law is plain- ly evident at first glance, for it shows quite clearly that people who hereto- fore have ‘been legally married ac- cording to the laws gf Lousiana will now commit a statutory’ offense if they continue to live together. -Per- sona who have been families for more than a quarter century,-and in some instances for a half century and more, have: to leave the state, or—clse be ttled for adultery. And tens of thou. sands of the offsprings, many of whon have become prominent citizens 0” that state are thus declared iMegit!- mate. There is not a state in the Union that has the mixture of races, “white” and Colored, that Louisiana has. If it 1s a fact that such a law has been enacted, we do not believe that it will or can ever be fully en- forced. A | OUR VALEDICTORIAN. j Principal Rannelis of Cleveland's East High school spoke in splendid terms, the night of commencement last week, of Daniel D. Fowler's note- worthy feat in winning a scholarship in Case School of Applied © Science and tho valedictorlanship of his class, an exceptionally brilliant one. ‘The Jad’s mother, Mrs. “Robert Fowler, wha has certainly been more than n grand mother to her several children, In: the: {ace of long years of wilow ‘hood, was glven a choice seat in the front and on the floor of the large school auditorium, to witness Daniel's really fine effort, and was almost as much “the cynosure of all eyes” as her most promising son. East High has possibly the hilehest grade or class of students of any like school in the city. and {t 18 indeed an honor the lad has won for the race. There was:no ques tion tn the minds of any of the vast throng in attendance upon East High’s commencement exercises as to which one of the graduate speakers, made the best showing, and this, too, in splte of the fact that the lad was | suffering from a cold. His subject.- “The Ideals of Citizenship,” was uandied in a masterly.manner, iis oratory was easy and graceful, and devoid of the platitudes that ustally characterize igh ‘-échoo! , orations. | Mrs. Fowler, Hike all those of our peo ple who were fortunate enough to be in attendance, could not help but feel supremely happy aa a result, "A Jewish girl’ was valedictorian of | he graduating class of Central Hish | chéol.

Will you tell me whethef oF fot the rexo: lution, ordinance or whatover it was, referred to, was ever passed .by the council, and why ‘tho street was not cut through at that time? By comply- ing with tho above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Yours truly, HARRY. G. SMITH, ‘Editor The Gazette. Hon. It. C. Smith, Editor Gazette.— Dear Sir: On July'9, 1906, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstius provided for tho’ opening of Hast Twenty-ffth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The Im- Provement was not made for the rea- son that Mr. Hirstius did not want it. His reasons for not wanting It, | have been informed, were and-possibly are that the people In the Immediate vi- cinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come thrdugh. In May of the present year there was a ‘resolution Introduced, and passed in June, looking for the mak- {ng of,a new street between Central and ‘Cedar avenues about opposite Sked strect. ‘This improvement was nover made for the reason that the money: in possession of tha city through the salo of bonds was for the opening of dead end streets and not the making of new streets, It Is the custom of the administra: tlon to defer to the wishes of council- men for ward Improvements, .and J feel sure that the only reason the Im- provement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstius listened to. ‘Would suggest that you call up Mr. Springborn ‘and get from him a con- Armation of what I havo given to you a3. a rumor, Vory truly yours, é PETER WITT, 1° City ‘Clerk. OE ADs AIIM. Hon, H. C, Smith, Editor Gazette — Dear Sir: Answering your favor of the aith inst.. with reference to: the enclosed letter from Mr. Witt, would say that the facts are ac Mr. Witt states, and had Mr. Hirstius desired to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue, sit would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this opening Mr. ‘Hirstlus invited me to mect with him a committee at. the close of one of the council meetings. ‘The committee represented the prop: erty owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the Improvement was Intended to be made. They protested against ite opening, and the result was that Mr. Hirstive finally agreed Rot to have it made, AND ASKED ME TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEPS TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It was not until recently that the case which we had started In court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made ita rule to act In ac- cordartce with the wishes of the coun: cilman representing the ward in which improvements of thie kind are to be made. it. therefore seems that MR.

The fact that they advertise is assurance that they want it. Local reading notices (advertisements) ten cents a line (six words in a line.) John H. Sisco spent Wednesday in Chicago. Mr. August Robinson spent Sunday in Sandusky. Mr. Will Scott, policeman, is slowly improving. Mrs. H. A. Richards returned to Sandusky last Tuesday. Mrs. J. Beckwith was called to Sharon on the past week by a relative's illness. A reception was tendered our local graduates at Mt. Zlon Church, Thursday evening. Rev. Harry Bowles' infant daughter, who has been seriously ill, is reported better when we go home. Mrs. M. A. Sislee attended the M. E., W. H. M. S. convention, held in Columbus the past week. Garret A. Morgan will give the employees of his factory a ride to Stop 27 on the Shore Line July 4. Miss Georgia Carter of Chillicothe, O., is visiting Miss Addie-Hackley of No. 2316 East 63rd street. Mr. Julius Bouldon of Chicago, an old Cleveland boy, visited his mother and other relatives, on the West Side, near the church. The True Reformer's annual service at Mt. Haven church Sunday was well attended. Also that of the Masons at Shilloh church. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sampson Jr., of Xenia are visiting their relatives in this city, and are guests of his parents in East Thirtieth street. J. Elmer Spyglass, a tenor whose home is in Toledo and who has spent several years abroad singing, is to appear at the Euclid Avenue Gardens July 18. Dr. J. A. Robbins, editor of the Columbus (O.) American-independent, was in the city several days the first of the week and called on The Gazette. Through the efforts of Mr. Henry Fitzpatrick of East Ninety-third street, forty dollars worth of lumber has been donated to Mt. Zion church, for improvements. Full returns of the Johnson-Jeffries fight at the Elks' entertainment, Coliseum Gardens, corner Woodland and East 55th street, Monday evening. All the crowd will be there. Remember the date. Incendiaries are at work in the vicinity of E. Thirtihth street and Central avenue and have caused many fires in the early hours of the morning. It is hoped that th police will soon be able to arrest the miscreants. Shiloh's Ladies' Industrial society will give a lawn fete Monday evening at 3652 Central avenue. The mission on East Thirtihth street is to help the community on East Thirtihth evening, opposite East Thirti-first street, on Cedar avenue. The last of the Masonic annual elections were held last Thursday and Monday evenings. Mose Johnson was re-elected E. C. of Ezekiel, and T. H. Edmonds E. C. of Red Cross commanderies. The recorders are I. W. Butler and B. M. Shook, respectively. The strawberry festival given at Mt. Zion Church, Monday evening, was a very successful affair. The tables were beautifully decorated with orchids, flowers and readings furnished a good program. The ladies of the Organ Fund club deserve credit for their efforts. The Masons' outing at Bedford Glons' Wednesday evening is not being given to make money, but in acknowledgement of the good attendance at their series of entertainments last winter. The chartered car will leave the Public Square at 7:30 p.m. The outing is to be the greatest event of the year. The Cleveland Letter Carriers band gempacked the Cleveland workhouse on Monday evening and with the ladies who accompanied them were entertained at a delightful luncheon by the superintendent, Wm. L. Eggers, and his wife. Mr. Eggers made an extremely happy after luncheon talk that pleased all greatly. The Shriners will start on their annual "pilgrimage to Mecca" Sunday morning. The "camels" are strong fellows, capable of "traveling all the way across the desert without danger." All those who become "footsore" from "the burning sands" will be supplied with "sandals," of which the Shriners have laid in a clientful supply. One of the principal events of the Masonic public installation last Wednesday evening was the introduction and reception given Rev. W. G. Webster, D. G. M. of Tennessee and pastor of Lance Memorial church. He was received with public honors, and acknowledged the same in a few well-chosen remarks, which none but the initiated could fully appreciate. Last Saturday The Gazette sanctum was favored with a visit by Dr. John Ochard and his guest, N. J., Ballard of East Orangetown, N. J., for whom M. and Mrs. Oce, N. J., gave a welghtful informal reception on Wednesday evening at their residence, 3021 Scovill avenue. The doctor has not been in the best of health and hopes to materially improve the same on this trip. Ernest O. Orsburn, another old Cleveland boy, arrived in the city via Virginia Saturday from Raleigh, N.C., where he is a member of the faculty of St. Augustine school. "Erny" is in excellent health and spirits as usual. He is The Gazette's first local representative, serving most acceptably for years, until he located in Indianapolis, where he served the Big Four railroad as stationery clerk. From there he went to Cincinnati in the same capacity, serving many years in the two cities named. He is the guest of his brother-in-law, J. H. Cisco. Tom Fleming wouldn't shave Afro-Americans in his Chamber of Commerce barber shop, but is now asking their patronage for his "civil rights" shop in Woodliff hall block, which his election to the city council has apparently enabled him to start. How do our barbers up Central avenue like the competition their support of him in a political way has enabled them toash on them? He ought to be satisfied with his salary as camelman or enter business that would not throw him into competition with many of his best supporters last fall. They and others will not forget this, his latest political blunder. J. P. Hurdon, a letter carrier, and son, L. H., of McKeesport, Pa., the latter a student of Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, were in the city last week Thursday, guests of Mr. Fred Perkins of Glencroft, an old friend, who brought them to call on The Gazette. They also were fortunate in meeting Dr. Charles Bundy, P. E., and Rev. E. H. Smith, who were in our "sanctum sanctorum." The Messrs. were en route home from Oberlin, their daughter and sister, respectively. Miss Gretter, Hammond, graduated from the college there recently, securing the degree A. B. Mr. Hurdon, sr., will return to the city later in the year for a more extended visit. The July issue of Human Life contains the story of Congressman Norris of Nebraska, the "little corporal" of the insurgents who battered down the Bastille of Cannonism. His life story is strong in human interest, as showing the influences which moulded the man. Alfred Henry Lewis's "Story of Roosevelt" (which began in the June issue) is deservedly the biggest feature of the month, for this imminent war, bright and particularly dazzling style, of T. R.'s first plunge into the troubled sea of politics under circumstances that would have engulfed a less audacious swimmer. There are other good things galore. Down in Connecticut a Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barnard are conducting a housekeeping experiment station and gathering invaluable information for reducing the cost of living. The story of Geo. C. Boldt, the prince of hotel propriets, is the first of a series relating to the great American captains of industry, Mrs. Jones-Baird, the evangelist, safe and safe, and the Beach movement; Judge Cleobard the juror of the Chicago bench; Milwaukee's Socialist mayor and Elsie Ferguson's sudden rise to stardom are some of the other excellent features in this issue. The Martinisburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press said editorially last week "Editor Harry C. Smith is ever on the firing line, shooting his bullets of wisdom into the enemy. Unlike a great many of our people, he goes after blacks as well as whites when they need censuring; and now we find him after Nahum B. Brascher, the "Silent Spectator." He takes the last-named individual to task on account of an interview which he (Brascher) gave to the Cleveland Daily Leader recently, and which was highly disparaging to the Negro contingent of Cleveland. O. Brascher was unusually severe on the Negro employees of the city. On the other hand, many of Mr. Smith and thousands of other loyal race men in Cleveland and out of it, Brascher's vigorous strictures and misrepresentations of a race already unduly imposed upon are untimely, uncalled for and illogical. The editor of "the old reliable Gazette" (as Mr. Smith is known to thousands of friends in every section of the country), knows how to safeguard his race's interests from every possible standpoint, and that's why he imposed upon himself the task of unceremoniously exposing and giving Brascher to understand that he cannot assail the Cleveland Negroes in so merciless a manner as he has done and not come in for a share of just newspaper criticism himself. All honor to Elder Smith, and may he be spared many years yet to fight the race's battles is the value of the Pilgrim Press. It may not set well on some, but we don't care if it doesn't, but it never opinion that Cleveland. O. will never be able to duplicate Harry C. Smith when he takes up his residence in the cline where all good people go when their work on earth is ended." We wish to again warn our contemporaries that use the 'American Press Association' Afro-American plate that N. B. Dodson has again been misled by local Afro-American notoriety seekers at the expense of the truth and facts. Most of his article headed "Republicans Route Eubanks" is not only untrue, but absolutely ridiculous. Local Afro-Americans had about as much to do with the turn-down of Eubanks' and the nomination of Willie Green, Afro-American candidate for the legislature, as Halley's comet did. Their "white" political boss did both things without consulting any of them. Furthermore, they were for Martin in the convention until their "boss" went on with the nomination of Green, who for many reasons will fall far short of getting the united support of our people of this community. He, with the rest of the local Republican ticket, are booked for defeat this fall. At least that the general belief of the great majority of the leading members of the party, of all classes. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1910. A SUPERINTENDENT AT WILBER-FORCE. There will soon be an election of a superintendent of the normal and industrial department at Wilberforce to succeed the late Prof. J. P. Shorter. Although the African Methodist Episcopal church does not advertise the fact very largely, the normal and industrial department is supported entirely by the state of Ohio. All the people of Ohio should have a part in saying who will be the new superintendent.

I suffered on and concluded there was no help for me this side of the grave." Then I heard of some one who had been cured by Cutjcura Remedies and thought that a trial could do no harm. In a surprisingly short time I was completely cured. S. P. Keyes, 147 Congress St., Boston, Mass., Oct. 12, "09." Face Covered with Pimples: "I congratulate Cuticura upon my speedy recovery from pimples which covered my face. I used Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent for ten days and my face cleared and I am perfectly well. I had tried doctors for several months but got no results. Wm.J. Sadlier, 1614 Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, May 1, 1909." Fido's Exercise. "Justin," said Mrs. Wyss. "Yes," said Mr. Wyss. "Will you speak a kind word to Fido and make him wag his tail?

She would fill a barrel with wood ashes, let rain water seep through them to make lye, and then have a soap boiling day, using all the bacon rinda and scraps of fat meat and grease she had saved. She made soft soap. Nowadays women don't have to ruin their tempere and their health and their looks making soap, or tolling all day over the washing. Easy Task soap—a pure, white laundry soap made of clean tallow, coconut oil, borax and naphtha does the hard work in the laundry and everywhere else—in the house that a safe and sure cleaner is needed. Awful Prospect. One day recently a clergyman was performing a marriage ceremony at the parsonage in the presence of his little son. The boy listened very attentively while his father pronounced the couple husband and wife, then going to his mother he said: "Mamma, when a man marries a woman, must he live with her?" "Yes, dear," his mother replied. The boy was thoughtful for a moment and then said: "Mamma, must papa live with all the women he has married?"

And Though It Wasn't a Very Elegant Animal, and the Carriage Was Rickety, Little Girl Was Delighted. "If I only had a pony," began the little girl. Then she stopped. That pony had been the subject of her dreams and her waking thought for weeks. It had become so much of an all-absorbing subject that it had been frowned upon in the family circle, but suppression only made it more important. "If I only had a pony." If I only had a pony. The little girl had planned it all out. She had told father and mother the plans. Father had looked troubled and mother had seemed sorry. The little girl couldn't understand this, for to every little girl a father always has money, for he has means of earning it that little girls lack. "Some day," father had said, and on this foundation, the little girl had built the dreams and the plans. It was all arranged. There was a nice shed to keep the pony in, and she had gathered grass and put it in a soap box in the stall in case the pony should come. She would drive to the office for father every day of the world, and when mother wanted something from the grocery in a hurry all she would have to do would be to jump on the pony or get into the Little cart that comes with all ponies and get it in no time. How, the other little girls would envy her as she drove past! Some of them she would let ride with her, but some of them—no, they were mean and shouldn't even come near the pony. Mother told father all these things at night, and father would do sums in mental arithmetic in the dark and postpone the solution to another time, for all sums cannot be worked out right away. Then mother took a hand. "John," she said, "cant we get some kind of a pony for her? Anything will do. She don't need a fancy pony and cart or anything like that—just something she can drive." Father said he would see. And a few days later he drove home behind a small and very tame appearing animal that might have been called a horse by courtesy. The buggy was old and rusty, but a coat of paint would settle that, and it would look fine. "My pony!" said the little girl. That was all. She could say nothing more for at least an hour, not even when she was taken up to the buggy and allowed to 'drive' all by herself. "It cost only $20," father told mother when they were together that night, "and the buggy is about to fall to pieces, but she will have just as much fun out of it." "You're a dear boy," said mother, "Nonsense!" said father, grudely. "She had to have it."—Galveston News Back In the Fold. "Family pride just about reaches its limit with the Biddles of Philadelphia," said a man who hails from the burg of scrape. "To be a Biddle in Philadelphia is sort of like being an archangel in heaven—at least from the point of view of the Biddles. One of the women of that numerous family married a man who was quite her social equal, but who was afflicted with the somewhat commonplace name of—well, say Robinson. They have a little 'girl', who is now about six years old, and the child is never permitted to loge sight of the fact that her mother was a Biddle. In Sunday school a couple of weeks ago her infantile mind was expected to grasp the problem of salvation according to the doctrine that we must be born again. When she reached home she ran to her mother, exhaling: 'O, mother, I have such good news for you!' "What is it, dear?" asked her mother. "Why, when you die and go to heaven,' explained the little girl, 'you'll be a Biddle again!" Edward's Interest in Medicine In particular, the late King Edward was interested in the promotion of everything that might tend to bring the best aid of medicine and surgery within the reach of all, and in the wide employment of any scientific development which might mitigate or, happly, prevent the spread of dangerous disease. He was saved from typhoid fever death by the great Sir William Jenner in 1872. In 1902-Sir Frederick Treves, the great Scotch surgeon, operated on the king for an abscess around his appendix. In 1896 the king saved Guy's hospital from financial collapse. King Edward was Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and was the intimate friend of a number of doctors. Couldn't Fool That Boy An uptown minister, interested in social work, is still laughing over a recent experience with one of the small boys whose reclaiming into the paths of virtue he makes his special province. It was a freckle-faced little urchin whom he had in hand, the leader of a gang of tiny terrors. With a saucy leer, the youngster asked him what he "did for a livin'?" "I am a messenger of God," replied the minister, solemnly. The urchin looked skeptical. "Where's your 'bicycle?' he said.—Philadelphia Times. Grasping the Situation "I want to exchange these," said the customer, handing a long box across the counter to the saleslady. "I never could wear anything that compressed me so, here," placing her two hands just above her waist line. "Oh, responded the saleslady, after deftly encircling the customer's waist with a tape measure, "you need a larger size. These are too tight across the diagram." THAT CANADIAN TRIP SHOULD NOW BE TAKEN. If you had intended going to Canada for the purpose of purchasing land on which to establish a house and accompanying some land company, whose holdings you proposed to look over or to go up on your own account to select one hundred and sixty acres of land free, you should delay no longer. Corn planting is over, your wheat crop is well ahead, and you have a few weeks' time before you are required in the fields again. Now make your intended trip. Reports at hand show that the crop prospects in Canada were never better than they are today. The cool, weather has not affected the crop, but if anything, it has been a benefit. There has been plenty of moisture and those who have had their land properly prepared look upon this year as likely to be one of the best they have had. A great many are going up this season who expect to pay two or three dollars an acre more than they were asked to pay last year. Others who wish to homestead are prepared to go farther from the line of railway than would have been necessary last year. Still it is worth it. So it will be with you. Next year lands will be higher-priced and home steads less accessible. There is a wonderful title of immigration to Central Canada now. It is expected that one hundred and fifty thousand new settlers from the United States will be numbered by the end of the present year, an increase of fifty per cent over last year. In addition to this there will be upwards of one hundred thousand from the old country, which does not include those who may come from the northern countries of the Continent. These all intend to settle upon the land. The reader does not require an answer to the questions, "Why do they do it?" "Why are they going there in such large numbers?" Western Canada is no longer an experiment. The fact that one hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat were raised there last year as against ninety-five millions the year previous, shows that the tiller of the soil in Central Canada is making money and it is safe to say that he is making more money than can be made anywhere else on the Continent in the growing of grains. He gets good prices, he has a sure and a heavy crop, he enjoys splendid railway privileges, and he has also the advantages of schools and churches and each other social life as may be found anywhere. It is difficult to say what district is the best. Some are preferred to others because there are friends already established. The Grand Trunk Pacific, on its way across the Continent, is opening up a splendid tract of land, which is being taken up rapidly. The other railways—the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern are extending branch lines into parts inaccessible a couple of years ago. With a perfect network of railways covering a large area of the agricultural lands it is not difficult to secure a location. Any agent of the Canadian Government will be pleased to render you assistance by advice and suggestion, and a good plan is to write or call upon him. The Government has located these grants at convenient points throughout the States, and their offices are well equipped with a full supply of maps and literature. Appropriate Hymn. The worshipers in a certain church had some trouble to keep their faces straight a short time ago. During the service some commotion was caused by a gentleman who accidentally ignited a box of wax matches in his pocket, and was trying to put them out, while his alarmed neighbors struggled equally hard to help him. The minister, being short-sighted, could not make out the reason of the disturbance, and thinking to diplomatically cover the incident, he innocently said: "Bethchren, there is a little noisy going on. Until it is over let us sing 'Sometimes a Light Surprises.'" A Woman's Advice A woman was looking over the shoulder of a man who was writing this item, and just when he got to this point, and was writing the word "soap," she said: "There's one great essential in a laundry soap. It must be a soap that will not rot the clothes or the fabrics. Some soaps will clean goods, but they rot them; others have sticky, yellow rosin in them and stain the clothes yellow. Just you write that Easy Task soap saves half the work and saves all the clothes and drives away the dirt and keeps away the disease germs, and is the best soap I ever found." And so her advice has been followed, for women know soap. Coming in Relays. Twins were born to Mrs. O'Brien. When the first one was born the nurse called Jimmy and said: "Tell your aunt to come right over. The stork has brought you a little brother." The nunt could not come over immediately. In a half hour the nurse called Jimmy again and said: "Run over and tell auntie the stork has brought you another brother." Jimmy ran to his nunt's house and said: "Auntie, the stork has brought another brother. I wonder how many he will bring before night." A Trained Nurse's Experiences with Resinol Ointment.

Foster-Milburn Co, Buffalo, N. Y." Strong Plea for the Infants Strong Plea for the Infants. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe testified the other day before the Massachusetts legislative committee which is investigating the milk situation. While giving her testimony she refused the chair offered by the committee and remained standing at the head of the witness table. In making her plea for pure milk Mrs. Howe said: "There are several parties to the milk situation, and I think the principal party is the child in the cradle. There is no substitute for milk in rearing children. It is a matter of life and death and should not take long to settle. I do want that those who produce this important food should have suitable compensation. I stand for justice to all parties and mercy to one, the infant." Casey at the Bat.
