Ostrich Feathers There seems to be something irresistibly attractive to women in the fuzzy, nodding plumes of the ostrich, and if this great bird could not be bred on ostrich farms his race would become extinct. Like many another wearer of fine plumage, the goddess of fashion would pursue him to the death. Although good ostrich plumes are as costly as ever, they are in wider demand than in all the history of millinery. Everyone wants plumes, and other ostrich feathers, in all the varied beautiful mountings which the artists make them up. There is a wonderful variety to choose from. The introduction of "willow" plumes, that is those having the fuses lengthened by trying on extra pieces, has brought out all sorts of color combinations and plumes of long sweeping fibers. They are very beautiful but not as practical as the unpleased plumes. In buying high priced ostrich, feathers the French plumes with long, slightly curled fuses are by far the best investment. They Quaint Idea That Has Only Recently Made Its Appearance, and Is Welcomed. Jewelry, at any rate, in our loose acceptance of the term, for no stones are visible in this pretty fancy. I have spoken of the gold lace pins crocheted with lace. Now far-seeking manufacturers have brought out wooden ornaments in all manner of sorts and shapes—collar pins, hat pins, belt buckles, cuff links, slipper buckles—all to be covered with this crocheted lace. One may have a whole set of them for an afternoon's work, and they make the daintest of gifts for brides and "next Christmasors." If crocheting is not in your line, fine lace can be darned around these wooden foundations, of dotted or figured net may be used instead. Whatever material is used, they are as quaint and pretty as the lace-covered gold pins, which is saying a great deal.—Exchange. CHIC TUSSOR FROCK This illustration shows a simple but good looking frock for a young girl made from Tusock silk and trimmed with spotted satin foulard and Gulpure collar. The belt of suede matches the ground of trimming. THE GAZETTE can be cleaned and recurred at a comparatively small outlay and may be bought on a guarantee from the dealer that they will stand wear. Moisture doesn't do them any permanent harm. On the other hand any willow plumes cannot be guaranteed to wear. Those in black are especially fragile, something in the dye causes them to come untidied or to break off when the air is damp. The white and light colors wear better than black. When one does not need to think of economy there are beautiful effects to be wrought out by using plumes with pieced flues, which are well worth the price. Three fall hats are illustrated here showing the simplicity and richness of ostrich used for trimming. They are mounted in groups of three or more toward the back of the hat as a rule. Nothing else is neglected on the shape and the addition of a hand and bow about the crown is a matter of choice, for a shape bearing a full tuft of plumes is amply trimmed. Jewelled Laces Are Marvellous Beautiful, Though Only For Those With Long Purses. The very newest thing in jewelry is the reproduction of old and priceless laces in tiny pearls and diamonds mounted upon gunmetal, platinum or diamond net. The exact pattern of the lace is copied, and the whole is formed into a jabot or a lace fall for the collar. Sometimes there is a bow above, composed of some colored stones—emeralds or amethysts or rubles—set in solid. This new and wonderful work has revolutionized the art of the jeweler, since the workmanship has become quite as valuable as the stones themselves. These laces of jewels are, of course, rulously expensive, but they are such marvels of beauty that a woman might well dispense with all other ornament for the sake of possessing one of them. The Swan-Like Throat This is to be a great season for collartess frocks. But one pretty neck is often harder to acquire than the dozens of chemisettes we may have done away with. A good neck depends much upon the general health, but considerable may be done that is of direct benefit. Many an otherwise lovely neck is ruined by an awkward polso of the head. The best cure for this is to sit or walk each day with a book on the head. Do not stiffen the muscles to hold this weight. Manage it by balancing. Thinness of the neck should be an easy fault to overcome. Plenty of sleep and an abundance of milk, with raw eggs beaten up in it, should help considerably. The neck should be washed well every night with warm water, followed by a cold spray and missaged afterward with a cold cream. Low-Cut Neck Edging. A ready-made dress of dark- blue lawn seen recently had at the round Dutch neck a tiny piping formed from the edge of a fine hemstitched handkerchief. The effect was cool and dainty, "and the handkerchief, had paint on it, anyway," said the bright originator. Bracelets: Over Gloves. Few women seem to realize that bracelets over gloves are almost or quite as bad as rings over gloves. If one wears a bracelet with long gloves at all, it should be worn under them; but, if possible, it should not be worn. EPITOME OF A WEEK'S NEWS Most Important Happenings Told in Brief.

CITY'S NEW TIPPLE It Is Chasing Mint Julep From Bar and Has Released Sundae to Rear of Drug Stores—Dealers Busy. Chicago. - Buttermilk — the drink that is making Chicago famous. If you don't live strictly on a buttermilk diet during the hot weather you don't belong, and drymen, doctors, drug-store keepers, club men, caterers and restaurant have as much as agreed upon it. According to people who devote much of their time to the landable labor of selling thirst quenching beverages, buttermilk has for the last five years steadily increased in popularity as a hot-water drink until today it is the most sought after of all, having surpassed such rivals as the one-favored icecream soda, the mint smash or the entrancing julep. When the thermometer hovers between $S$ and $S$, buttermilk becomes the cup that cheers and never free bristles, no matter how pleniously imbbed. Drink experts say so. They say that this once more or less deceived lipid is now called for more frequently than any other in country clubs, in drug stores, in hotels, in restaurants and in buffets. It is served in the country clubs in MAKES BRIDLE TO BUY BOOKS Mostana Prisoner Serving Long Term Is Eager to Spend Idle Time Profitably. Douglass, Artz.—C. C.

Here is the letter, which explains itself: "You may be surprised to receive this letter, as I am an inmate of Montana state prison. I am serving quite a long term here, and wish to put in part of my time studying. Having this in view, I have spent several months in tedious work upon a fancy horse hair bridle. In the hope that I should be able to raise enough money out of its disposal to purchase the books that I am in need of. "It is in regard to this bridle that I take the liberty of addressing you, asking if you will take an interest in disposing of it for use. The bridle is made of thousands of strands of colored horse-hair, and it will be found useful and strong as well as a work of art. C. C. Allen, Box 7, Deer Lodge, Montana."

It is advertised in drug stores "from our own churn," and is outselling the soda and sundae. It is made by private families from "haco-bacillus" tablets, which are placed in unskimmed milk. At hotels and restaurants it is served cold in bottles made especially for buttermilk. And why? Because for a long time physicians have been pointing out that it is the best hot-weather drink. They have said that it is the most easily digested, the most cooling, the most healthful. They have declared it even an excellent hot-weather food. And besides that, there are comparatively few people, it is said, who don't take to buttermilk naturally, like a flue to water. "Buttermilk" queried Manager Marsh of the Borden Dairy company. "Why, we are selling more buttermilk right now than ever before. It is the Chicago summer drink, and we are in a position to know. It is being sold everywhere—because "most everyone has a nickel to spare and 'most everyone' likes buttermilk. Almost every retail store where they sell soft drinks is calling for buttermilk in large quantities this summer. And then a whole lot of it goes to private homes, too. It's a great drink, is buttermilk—the ideal drink." "The sales of buttermilk increase every year," said Manager Rowan of the Dowman Dairy company. "and this year there is more of it sold. I believe Fourteen of World Powers Be Arrayed Against Butchery of Feathered Tribe of Globe for Millinery Ornamentation. New York--To array 14 of the world powers against the butchery of the birds of the globe for millinery communication is the object of an international movement which has been formally called to the attention of the United States' government from this city. Recommendations for the prohibition of this feather traffic by nonexpert and nonimport laws in Great Britain, German, France, Italy, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Hungary, Austria, Austria and this country have just been added with Secretary of State Knox at Washington by William Dutcher, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies, who represented the United States at the recent international Ornithological congress in Berlin, where they were framed and unanimously indorsed by delegates from every part of the world. For the first time in history the cernitological authorities in their international conclave are reported to have been able to unite upon some simple course of action that would best check the economic loss of billions of dollars each year that has been shown to result from the killing of the pest-destroying and plague-preventing wild birds of land and water. Acting as an "international committee for the protection of birds," a score of cernitological experts selected from the mobility and statistics of 14 of the leading nations are being before their government the promotion of cooperation to break up the destruction of bird life by the world's able wildlife in their habitats. Through the people of the country have come to recognize the possible production to help in many since the destruction. As the bird life has come on as time goes, the country continues to oppose the sale of the birds of the land and water, according to the IN UNION UNION PY FIVE CENTS.

Of course, there is more sweet milk sold than buttermilk, but sweet milk is used for cooking and buttermilk is purely a drink. Within the last six years there has been a steady increase in the consumption of sweet milk, but buttermilk has certainly kept pace with it." Out at the Lake Zurich dairies the foregoing statement were agreed with. "Why, it's remarkable the quantity of buttermilk that is being called for," said James Davidson, manager of the dairy. "We are shipping more of it to Chicago this year than ever before. If it isn't the favorite hot weather drink for Chicago, I'd like to know what an earth is."

On the other hand, thousands of the valuable insectivorous wild birds and game birds of Europe are shipped here as cage birds and to make choice tidbits in our restaurants. Only by putting a stop to the export and import of birds butchered for commercial purposes can the nations of the earth hope to retain their valuable bird resources. It remains for the American people to take the first step in this very vital movement." BEETLE KILLING ELM TREES Expert Who Examined Roosevelt's Chestnut Reports Other Ravages' In Four States. New York—A great plague of oak leaf beetles has swept over this section of the country this summer, according to Director Murrill of the Bronx botanical bardens. Mr. Murrill recently made a trip of investigation through four states and says that he found the condition of the oak trees alarming everywhere. The beetle, however, is not the only enemy to the trees which is working. Mr. Murrill was called to Sagamore Hill, where he made an examination of the oak trees, which are Colonial Roosevelt's pride. When Colonial Roosevelt returned from Africa he sent word to the Bronx botanical gardens that something was wrong with his trees, and asked that an expert be sent to inspect them. Mr. Murrill discovered that almost every tree on the oak trees' estate was dead. The conker, a rapid-growing shrub, had started beneath the bark of the trees, and after killing this tree had spread quickly all over them it traveled with surprising swiftness and within two months caused thousands of oak trees worth of damage. --- One Year.....$1.50 Six Months.....1.00 Three Months......50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1898; 1898 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest base. Aide 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. It was an insult to our people generally for the National Afro-American Business League, led by Booker T. Washington, to invite "the hero of the Brownville outrage." Col. Theodore Roosevelt, to address it at its annual meeting in New York City last week, and its standing endorsement of him for future honors at the hands of the American people, was a good deal more than an insult. It represented nothing more nor less than the approval of a lot of time-servers who have neither manhood, self or race respect. Either this of they have forgotten the Brownville outrage of a hundred and sixty-seven innocent Afro-American soldiers, and Roosevelt's magazine charge of cowardice laid at the door of all our soldiers who saved his and his "Rough Riders" lives in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. It is simply astounding to what extent Booker T. Washington is encouraging among our people his "docrite of surrender" not only of citizen rights but also of manhood, self and race respect. We had thought that such thing as that Roosevelt endorsement of last week, by so intelligent a gathering of Afro-Americans, an impossibility. Whither are we drifting? It seems that a color-line is being drawn in the Union Depot restaurant at Columbus, O, which is controlled by the Pennsylvania railroad. President Scarborough of Wilberforce University, recently wrote the President of the company calling his attention to the fact. That official promptly forwarded the Professor's letter to the general manager, whether of the Pittsburgh division of the road, or of the restaurant, does not appear. This latter official notified Mr. Scarborough by letter that the discrimination (segregation) complained of by him and being practiced in the restaurant, was in harmony with the "practices which are generally observed, in the territory" (presumably Columbus). This brings the matter right back home to our people of that city and vicinity. They will not use the Ohio law against such "practices" and therefore should not waste time complaining by voice and letter, but go into the courts and vindicate their rights in all public places like men and citizens. It certainly is strange—this failure of the race generally, in Ohio, as well as in other states in the north, to contend in the courts for their "civil rights, especially when the law is in their favor. And every day sees us losing ground in the matter of our federal and local rights, and privileges, too. OUR TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. With Aug. 6 issue, The Gazette "the old reliable" entered its twenty-eight year of continuous publication (every week on time), and during all these years it has been under the same single individual management and ownership. Its record for good work done for the race is a long one, most creditable indeed. It includes Ohio's Civil/Rights law and Ohio's Zill Lynching or Mob Violence law, two of the most effective in the state Statutes. Then, too, there are those who will remember this paper's successful fight of many years ago against the remnants of Ohio's "Black Laws," its equally successful and repeated efforts against southern railroads disgraging Ohio soil with their "jincrow" car signs, and The Gazette's later and even more determined effort to help "hold up the hands" of our great and friend, Senator Benson Foraker. These are but a few of the very many good things The Gazette has done and helped to do, to the very utmost of its ability, throughout the past 27 years, as thousands of readers of this paper can and will attest. The Gazette has people and intensely loyal to our people and their good friends. This is one of its cardinal principles, as it should be with every individual member of the race. As an earnest of the future, we point to the past—the very best assurance one can give, and urge our friends and well-wishers to renew their material interest its circulation before the first of January next. We want good, live agents in many Ohio cities and towns, particularly, in some of which you have friends and acquaintances who would assist us to secure them if they were encouraged to do so by you. Write them at once in our behalf, and see to it that we are represented in your home city or town also. We want many more subscribers in your city, town and vicinity and wherever you have friends and acquaintances. Urge them to take The Gazette, be benefited and at the same time help it. These are some of the ways you can use in an effort to be of material assistance to "the old reliable Gazette." Will you "put your shoulder to the wheel," reader, and encourage others to do likewise? If you will, there can be no doubt of our securing the desired increase in circulation by the time stated. One result of this will be an improved paper in many re --- speeches; another, and one of vastly more importance, will be the material increase of The Gazette's power for more good and effective work in behalf of the race. Decide to begin your effort to assist it, today. AN AGED NEGRO "KNOCKER"! THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910 Stewart's amendment to the law, to which John refers, did not strengthen but rather weakened it, we are sorry to say. This, too, the writer is responsible for, having sent it to him in 1898 (when we were not a member of the Assembly) and urged its passage on the advice of Attorney, now Judge Vickery, and after repeated conferences with the latter. However, we all three, were trying to do what we thought best under the circumstances. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, our Ohio Anti-Lynch law has stood the test of the Ohio Supreme Court and made Champaign, Logan, Clarke and Cuyahoga Counties pay thousands of dollars for their mob violence demonstrations and is about to do the same thing for (Newark) Lickling County. It has, too, reduced lynching in Ohio, to the minimum in the last fifteen years. As to our Ohio Civil Rights law, the records of the Ohio House of Representatives for 1894, will show that we secured the enactment of it, also, the law, the late Mr. Madison Tilley (Tolley). Cleveland's leading Negro Democrat at the time, secured the passage of during Democritey Gov. Hoadley's administration, had proven itself practically worthless. That is why we made it effective by changing and adding to it wherever in our judgment it was necessary. I, Joey the Ohio Supreme Court says, is now good law. John P. Green was, as we have said, a member of the Ohio Assembly for six years before we got there. Why in Peace's name didn't he even try to do these things? There was nothing to prevent him, any more than there was to prevent our doing what we surely did. What we have said about Senator Clarke's part in the doing of these things, is truth, in the doing of these things, is truth, allow without protest an American Legislator, the Hon. Geo. J. Jackson, to pass a civil rights bill in the lower House of the Assembly, which exempted from its provisions bar shops and theaters, to please prejudice white constituents in Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Mr. Clark evidently learned better later on, for he certainly "made good" in 1894 and 1896, and that is more than any one can say for John P. Green. The Gazette well remembers the fight it made on the Jackson bill because it was so easy to kill it. We really wish we could learn, after all these years of acquaintance with him, of something, anything material, in John Green's fifteen or twenty years' publice-office career, that showed that he was unmistakably for his people and not simply for John and his family. It certainly would be more than a pleasure to publish it. As additional antidote for John's silly attack on the editor of The Gazette, we commend all who read this to a careful reading of our editorial to be found elsewhere in these columns, headed "OUR TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR." Mercy how the mere mention of Attorney and Ex-Senator W. T. Clark's name has stirred up one used Negro "knocker" of this community.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 17, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor The Gazette City. My Dear Harry: My attention has been called to a published letter from John P. Green, in which Mr. Green said that you did not deserve any credit for the remarkable piece of writing "the anti-lynching" law. I was the legislative correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette (daily) at Columbus during the session of the legislature at which the "anti-lynching" law was passed, and well remember the terrific fight you put up to secure its passage. I guess you be the man who himself would have become discouraged and given up, at the obstacles you had to meet and overcome. I do not believe that the "anti-lynching" law would now be on the statute books of Ohio if it had not been for your indefatigable effort. I guess we ever more thoroughly identified with any measure than you were with the Ohio "Anti-Lynching" law. GREAT DANGER.

Akron, O.—Eight thousand people attended the dedication of a monument to the marter, John Brown, in Perkins park, once a part of his farm, Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the German-American alliance of Ohio. Two thousand participated in the parade of German societies and military and civic bodies. Jason Brown, aged 86, son of John Brown, and Charles Brown, Jason Brown's son, both of Akron, attended the ceremonies and had places on the platform. Jason Brown spoke his thanks, but very feebly, as he was almost overcome by emotion. John Brown's grandson also thanked the Germans for the monument (stone) which was presented to the city by Capt. George Billow of this city, who spoke in behalf of the alliance. The acceptance was by Mayor W. T. Sawyer, Gov. Harmon was represented by C. H. Wirmel of Columbus. Senator Charles Dick and State President John Schwaab (Cincinnati) of the alliance, also spoke. One hundred and fifty German singers from Cleveland helped furnish music. The Afro-American was conspicuous as a result of his absence from the demonstration, etc., from start to finish. He made absolutely no effort to assist or participate. ...

HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right In Its Contention, as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstius and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gus Hirstius, because when a member of the council (from the 12th ward) Hirstius refused to permit a street to be cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to do so "because colored people would come through" the street from Cedar avenue and "pour into their windows." He will withdraw ordinance which he introduce, in the council (authorizing the proper city authorities to cut the street through) at the request of the city authorities and prenu- diced Cedar avenue residents. When he was reelected to the council, Hirgius, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The following is perfined and self-explanatory. Read the letters car rally and thoughtfully: Churchill, Nov. 16, 1948 Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk Sir: Just before election, Compton Hirstis made a statement in a poll Sir, Just before election, Complainant Tirstins made a statement in a political negotiation to the effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, proceed in for cutting a street through from Central avenue to Cedar ascent. Between Endi Twenty-second and Twenty-eighth street, opposite the street, or in that vicinity, which declared, though passed by the censor, in July last (the work of cutting the street through) has been held up on cause by Director Springborn or some one else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there his claim? Last year or the year before the same individual introduced an ordinance, resolution or something in the council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the resolution, ordinance or whatever it was referred to, was ever passed by the council, and why it was wasted, although, what that time, you complaining with the above requests at your earliest opportunity you will greatly oblige me. Youra truly. Hon. H. G. Smith, Editor Gazette- Dear Sir: On July 9, 1966, resolution No. 5288 by Mr. Hirstius provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. It passed the same month on the 24th day. The preventance was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstius did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it. I have been informed, were and possibly are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. In May of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central and Cedar avenues about 600 yards wide. This improvement never made for the reason that the nuque- y in possession of the city through the sale of bonds was for the opening of dead streets and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of counsellmen for ward improvements, and I feel sure that the only reason the improvement at Eack 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 confirmation of what I have given to you as a rumor. Vory truly years. PETER WITT City Clerk. Nov. 25, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette— Dear Sir, Answering your favor of the second letter, with reference to the enclosed letter, I would like to say that the facts are as Mr. Wk states, and had Mr. Hirstius desire to have East Twenty-fifth place opened through to Cedar avenue. It would have been done long ago. At the time it was proposed to make this opening Mr. Hirstius invited me to meet with him a committee at the close of one of the council meetings. The committee represented the pro- perty owners and residents on Cedar avenue, where the improvement was intended to be made. They protested against it, appearing, as the result was that Mr. Hirstius final not to have it made. AND ASKED TO HAVE NO FURTHER STEP TAKEN IN THE MATTER. It not until recently that the case which we had started in court to condemn the property was dismissed. We have always made it a rule to act in accordance with the wishes of the councilman,representing the ward in which improvements of this and to be made to the forefoothood that Mr. HIRSTIUS ALONE IS TO BLAME FOR NOT HAVING THE STREET OPENED.

Where Millions Are Entombed Where minima Are Entombed. The catacombs at Rome were the burial places of the early Christians. They are about 680 miles in extent and are said to have contained 6,000,000 bodies. During the persecutions of the Romans, and other Roman emperors the catacombs were used for blding places. Under Diocletian the catacombs were crowded with those for, whom there was no safety in the face of the day. The art of the catacombs is unique and most interesting. Simple designs are etched in the slabs which seal the tombs. Now and then are small chapels whose paintings are to be found. All are Bible illustrations, so that the catacombs may be said to be a pictorial Bible in effect—The Christian Herald. Better Than a Drug.

POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD. Battle Creek, Mich. A GREAT INVENTOR A GREAT INVENTOR Activities of George Westinghouse Circle the Globe. --- New York. The recent retirement of George Westinghouse, for nearly twenty-five years head of the Westinghouse Electric, and Manufacturing company, recalls the career of this Napoleon of invention: For many years the name of George Westinghouse has been a name to conjure with. The "man has been a modern fulfillment of the Aladdin lamp idea. Everything he rubbed with his inventive genius became a wonder article; everything he touched turned to gold. First it was the famous air brake, that great appliance by which "he saved more lives than Napoleon lost in all his battles." Then it was the system of operating railway signals and switches by compressed air; after which came the incandescent lamp, the gas engine, the steam turbine, electrical motors and machines by the score, and a thousand other inventions that placed Mr. Westinghouse at the time of his retirement in control of the largest aggregation of patented appliances in the world. Fifteen thousand patents are filed away in his strong box. His activities circle the globe; there are Westinghouse plants in Russia, Canada, Great Britain, Germany and France. His parent plants are or course in or near Pittsburg, more especially Wilmerding. To condense the career of this man, who ranks with Watt, Stephenson, Morse and Whitney, into a paragraph or two, the biographers (all that he was born at Central Bridge, Schoahle county, New York, on October 6, 1845. A decade later his parents moved to Schenected, where his father became in time connected with the prosperity class as owner of certain agricultural works. The tinkering son divided his attention between the school and the George Westinghouse. shop; when he wasn't masticating his books; he was mohkeying with the buzz-saw. At fifteen he had invented and made a rotary engine. One day the notion struck him that he'd like to help Urmie Sam out in the navy. So he took a shot at the examinations and, scored a hit, landing a job as assistant engineer. Before he reported for duty the Civil war had broken out. He enlisted in the Twelfth New York National Guard, re-enlisted later in the cavalry, and finally turned up on the high seas as an engineer on the gunboats Muscoota and the Stars and Stripes. After Gettysburg was fought and won, his thirst for more education landed him in Union college. Two years there were enough for him. The magic of machinery called him away from the academic life, and he found happiness again by taking up his old work in his father's factory. It was while working there that he invented the air brake. Railroad managers who first learched at his idea of "stopping a train with wind" had to eat humble crow. In a short time the invention was in universal use and had revolutionized railroading, as locomotives could be constructed that would travel at a high rate of speed, so long as they had that power. In the cab, a single engine, a single girder, a wrist would bring the train to a standstill in half its length. In the United States all railroads are compelled by law to use the devleves, and this was adopted by congress and everywhere around the great curve of the world the "whistle of Westinghouse" air brake is heard. His first prominence in electricity came with his purchase from Gauldair & Gibbs of alternating electric current patents. This was in 1885, and he met great opposition from public sentiment in trying to perfect and introduce this system for lighting and power making. At the time of the Chicago-world's fair in 1893 he received the contract for lighting by making a bill of *$1,000,000 under others. His shop in Pittsburgh soon became the place where electrical experts of the world gathered. Tealan went there and received Westinghouse's financial and practical help in developing the induction motor. Westinghouse built the first ten great dynamos for Niagara. He also constructed the dynamos for the elevated and subway lines in New York. A. Costly Sneeze. New York.—The secret signals of brokers on the New York stock exchange to their offices are very complex and puzzling. A certain broker when signaling in regard to selling Nississing stock always sneezed to indicate that he meant to sell. One day he caught a severe cold and when signaling from the market to his office window he was forced to sneeze in spite of himself. The result was that some of his best stock was sold at a great sacrifice. The broker's sneeze at the wrong time cost him a loss of several thousand dollars. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910. STEEPLEJACK MILLER DEAD Famous "Human Fly," Who Finally Met His Fate by a Fall at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal.—Steepelejack Miller, famous in every large city in the United States, and the man who has probably risked his neck more than any other man in the world, is dead. He fell to his death from the seventh story of the Hamburger building in Los Angeles. Miller was known in every large city as the "human fly." It was his boast that he could scale the side of any building in the world where he could find a handhold on. Recently he climbed to the ninth floor of the Platina building in New York, Steeplejack Miller. using nothing to aid him in the climb but the projecting stones and crevices on the side. He would have gone on to the roof had he not been stopped by the police. He climbed buildings in New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Philadelphia, St. Louis and in fact every large city in the country. That was the way he made his living. While he scaled the side of the building and performed dizzy stunts from the edge of the roof, a partner would pass the hat among the crowd below, and in this manner quite a respectable sum could be picked up. None know the man's true name. He left home when he was fourteen years of age and took to climbing as a profession, and followed it all his life. Up to the time of his death he had never had a fall, and it was his boast that he would die in bed, despite his dangerous calling. On his last trip up the side of the Hamburger building, when he reached the seventh floor he mistook a shadow for a handhold and stepped confidently forward to what appeared to be a fine hold. There was the scrapping sound of flesh rubbing against the stone side of the building; a swift rush forward by the crowd, and then a body swung outward and dropped, turning 'over and over in the air. At the third floor, he struck a ledge, bounding from there to the effect, where he lay, with every bone in his body broken. He died a few hours later. INDIANS WITH FLAT HEADS Northwestern Tribe Among Whom Mechanical Compression of the Head Is Still Practised. Seattle, Wash.—The Chinook Indians of the Pacific coast region are now about the only tribe of American aborigines who flatten their heads, whence the term applied to them—Flatheads. This compression of the head, brought about by mechanical Two Flathead Indians. means, is applied, in infancy and the process is continued for several months. In time most of the effects of the flattening process wear away and the head gradually tends to assume normal shape. Originally head-flattening was practised among various tribes, including the Chickasaws, Choctaws, Caribs, Toltecs and the ancient Peruvians, and the custom was ushered, but very erroneously, to the Sellish Indians, who never indulged in the practise at all. The Chinooks live along the Strait of Fuca and are chiefly a fishing and maritime people. They are commonly diminutive, with ill-shaped limbs and unprepossessing features and their complexion is darker than that of the other redskins of the northwest. World's Supply of Cedar Scribblers Now Furnished Only by Few Remaining "Rails." Nashville, Tenn.—The old-fashioned red cedar railfences of middle Tennessee now furnish the world's main supply of cedar pencils, according to information received here from big penclimakers who have mills in this state's cedar district. Statistics at hand also indicate that these fences are the sole remaining source from which to make the best grade, smooth-whitling cedar pencil so well known to every schoolboy. Decendants of the rail-splitting farmers of Abraham Lincoln's time are selling their cedar fences for what their forefathers would have considered fabulous sums. The selling price of such a fence will build four up-to-date wire fences of equal length. In exceptional instances, even better bargains have been driven.

In fact many suffering guests who have struggled into clothes and coiffures with a light back of them, or across the room, or swinging away up in the air over their heads, will say that it is the most important thing. And for some strange and unaccountable reason there are noticeably few guest rooms, even those that do not show this lack. It is always harder to dress away from home. Why make the difficulties unsurmountable? For who can fix their hair successfully when their face is almost in shadow, or decide what colors go best with their complexion when they cannot see it? And It is when we are visiting that we usually desire to look our best. So if you are a hostess, do unto others as you would be done by, and see that there are proper lighting facilities in your guest room. If there is electricity it is a simple matter to have a drop light set up on the dressing table. If gas, and the fixture cannot be brought to the table, or the table to the fixture, get a plain little oil lamp that gives a good light and keep it filled in the room for this hour of dressing for dinner.
