2 --- IN VOLON HONORUM TWENTY-EIGHT New "Flex SOME inventive designer of millinery, taking note of the strong points of the oriental turban; and seeking for something new, brought forth the new flexible hat of velvet. The queer but charming "ding-a-ling" burst upon New York and promptly captivated it. Naturally it has been followed by any number of soft hats and caps of velvet and other materials suitable for winter. The "ding-a-ling" hat is a pointed cone of velvet with a rolled up rim next the face. It is guillotess of wire except for a single small shirring wire inserted about the brim edge. It is lined with silk or satin and interlined with rice-not. The crown is made of four conical pieces sawed together except in cases where a manufactured cone of felt or beaver or velvet is steamed into the proper shape over a block. The original hat was trimmed with a single quill, placed flat against the crown at the back. The whole afair is chic if extreme, but becoming to only certain types. It is full of snap and crisp style, but impossible for many wearers. For those who cannot wear this jaunty (not to mention somewhat rakish) little bit of new millinery any number of new designs have been and are being invented. One of them DRESSING GOWN. Flannel or saintelle are materials mod. suited for making a gown like this if for present wear; it is quite a simple pattern slightly shaped in at waist; the deep collar may be faced with the same or some contrasting color; it is trimmed with a simple braiding pattern that is continued down front. The fulness of the sleeves is drawn in at the back by a short-braided strap pointed at each end; the west-band which draws in the fulness is also braided; the pointed ends are hooked over. Material required: 7 yards 40 Inches wide. Slips of Italian silk with messaline ruffles make the best petticoats for every day wear. THE GAZETTE is shown here. It is a crusher hat of black velvet, the brim lined with white satin and edged with a heavy satin-cotton wire—the only wire in the hat. Such a hat, with the brim dented against the crown and ornamented with a smart a gretta or stiff, flat, cockade, may be seen at any of the cafes, completing very handsome toilettes. Odd effects in trimming are sought for these odd hats, and many of them, for the street, are untrimmed. They need a finishing touch, however, but it must be just a touch. A single skeleton plume, in peculiar colorings, or a long feather from the pheasant tail, or a narrow, gold quill, are favorites and illustrate the character of trimming which is appropriate. A soft turban of velvet and fur with fur buckle, is partly flexible. There are no wires except in the brim, which is very cleverly draped with velvet. This is a sensible hat for midwinter. With the dark fur crowns one sees combined the most vivid and beautiful colors in velvet, mink and coral, black fox and bright green, plush or broadtail, dark molekin with cerise or coral velvet and very dark brown furs with cardinal red, have the vigor and warmth of color needed for midwinter. JULIA BOTTOMLEY -HAVE, REGULAR MENDING DAY Surprising Results Will Be Effected if a "system" Is Put into Operation. There is nothing on earth like system, and nowhere do you realize this more in matters of dress. The tiny hole in your stocking, that you might have mended in two minutes, grows into an undamable "run;" the clip under the arm in your new blouses extends alarmingly; nothing that must be mended stays "where it is put." The remedy for all this is a regular mending day—or a regular mending evening, if you are a business woman. As soon as a garment needs mending—if it be only a button or a hook that must be replaced—put it aside, unless it is so necessary that you must attend to the trouble at once, and when mending day rolls around do the required sewing. You will be surprised to find out how much lighter your work becomes when you can thus catch rents and tears at the start instead of at their disastrous finish. The other point to remember is always to have your sewing implements where you can get them and in perfect order. Do not wait until the very moment for mending to find that you are out of white thread or that your needles are rusty. When a thing needs repairing, repair it; when it needs replacing, replace it. It might even be a good thing to have a regular "preparation day" to antedate the mending one. A Few Fade. Silk and satin flowers, each petal edged with beads, are used on the crown and under the brim of an evening hat. White coney is an inexpensive fur and much in favor for cloaks; long shoulder scarfs and hats for young girls. Very effective is the banded trimming of cut steel beads outlined on either edge with two rows of fine jet beads. Silver on black tulle, steel beads on bleu de nuit (a dark - blue) and coral on pink or blue, are some of the beautiful combinations used. For evening, there is a great demand for brocades, crepe de chine and all supple weaves that lack luster, but abound in wonderful colors. Dainty linen gift handkerchiefs for women have delicately-hued borders: Some of these, with lace-work centers, are highly expensive. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1911. SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S EVENTS Latest News of Interest Boiled Down for the Busy Man: Willie Hoppe, champion at the 18.1 and 18.2 style of play, announced his retirement from professional billiards. He will become a partner with his father-in-law in the clothing business. Senator Gambie of South Dakota delivered a long speech in defense of the findings of the investigating committee in the Lorimer case. He beared that the evidence did not show that Lorimer had any personal knowledge of bribery having been practiced in his behalf. Therefore Mr. Lorimer's right to his seat could not be questioned. That Capt. Robert E. Peary came within 1.6 miles of the north pole—near enough to establish his claim of having been at the exact spot—is the decision of the National house committee on naval affairs, which recommends that, Captain Peary be retired with the rank of rear admiral. A crowd of 55,900 cheering spectators saw a new American endurance record in aviation set at San Francisco when Phillip C. Parnatone remained aloft in a Wright biplane for 3 hours 39 minutes and 49 15 seconds. Capt. Charles Barr, the famous skipper of the yachts Rielahae and Columbia when they successfully defended the American cup, died suddenly of heart disease at Southampton, England. David Graham Phillips, the novelist and writer upon sociological problem, who was shot down in the streets of New York while on his way to the Princeton club by Fitzhugh C. Goldsborough, an eccentric yollinist, died of his wounds at Bellevue hospital. GENERAL NEWS. Orders have been issued by the war department to move United States troops, with pack trains, from Fort Sam Houston to Brownsville, Laredo Eagle Pass and Del Rio, to patrol the Mexican border and prevent further shipments of arms and ammunition to the Mexican revolutionists from their agents in the United States. A permanent tariff board of five members to investigate all questions for the benefit of congress is provided for in a bill unanimously agreed upon by the house committee on ways and means. The bill, effective July 1, contains substantially the provisions of the Longworth and Dallzell bills. With renewed rioting, in which two clothing shops were wrecked, a new walkout of several hundred garment workers and an addition of more than $7,000 to the strikers' campaign funds, the Chicago garment workers' strike broke out again with greater bitterness than has been displayed at any time since the beginning of the long controversy. President Taft issued peremptory orders to the American minister at San Domingo that there must be no war between San Domingo and Haiti. These two nations have been quarrelingly for over a year about a frontier line. Both armed for the conflict and sent troops to the scene of trouble. What is believed to be the fastest railroad trip on record between Washington, D. C., and New York was made when J. Plepper Morgan was whirled from one city to the other over the Pennsylvania railroad in three hours and fifty-six minutes. Svendens, the Danish aviator, while flying at Copenhagen, in a Velsim aeroplane, discovered when at a considerable height that his machine was on fire. Descending as quickly as possible, he reached the earth just in time to avoid serious injury. The health of William Sprague, former governor of Rhode Island, who is in Paris, is such that his death would not be a surprise to his family, although his physicians say that he may live many months. In the stomach of Sallie L., an insane woman who died at the Missouri state hospital at St. Joseph, were found 1,446 separate articles of hardware and household utensils. These included, 453 nails, 9 bolts, 105 safety pins, 115 hairpins, 136 common pins and a quantity of table utensils. A plan to assault the Vermilion county jail at Danville, Ill., and lynch Harry Thomas, negro, confessed assailant of Detective Charles Saunders, was discovered by Sheriff John T. Shepard. A score of deputy sheriffs was rushed to the jail and an armadillo patrol placed around the building. Luke Lea, Independent Democrat, practical owner of the Nashville Tennessee-Americian, and youngest politician in Tennessee with any degree of success, was named by 'no general assembly of that state to succeed to the seat held by U. S. Senator James B. Frazier. New Orleans won the first round of the fight for the location of the Panama exposition, when the exposition committee of the house at Washington by a vote of, 9 to 6, decided in favor of it as the site for the fair to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal in 1915. Charles J. Barth, one of Denver's wealthiest men, is authority for the statement that Former Senator Thomas M. Patterson has sold the Rocky Mountain News of Denver to Senator Simon Guggenheim. State Bank-Examiner C. A. Glazer of Utah has assumed charge of the affairs of the Utah Banking company's banks at Lehigh and American Pork, Utah. Following a quarrel, John Drost, twenty-two years old, shot and killed his father, Peter Drost, fifty-five years old, and wounded his nineteen-year-old sister, Phoebe, on their farm near Northbend, Wash. David Graham Phillips, author and writer upon sociological problems, was shot down as he was on his way to the Princeton club, New York city, by Fitzhugh C. Goldsborough, a professor of the violin who had lived at the Rand School of Social Science. After firing six bullets into the helpless author, Goldsborough turned his Colt magazine revolver upon himself and sent a bullet into his brain. The cause for the shooting is not known. Organization of the Republican Progressive league by progressive Republican senators, representatives, governors and others—an organization which will seek to "right for the establishment, of popular government"—was announced at Washington. A declaration of principles was signed, a constitution adopted an officers elected. Senator Jonathan Course, Jr., Oregon, was made president. Mexican soldiers numbering 200 men were ambushed by rebels in the mountains between Ojínga and Cancillo Parrillo, Mexico, and more than 100 of them were killed. Only forty, of them escaped, so far as it known. Another American aviator broke another American record when Philip O. Parmadee, in a Wright biplane, remained in the air nearly four hours at San Francisco. Parmadee was up 3:10.15. The Chilton Jr. Iquarters, freight houses and passenger station of the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul railroad at Aberdeen, S. D. were burned. The loss is estimated at $100,000. A countrywide investigation which the treasury department has started, it is declared in New York city, has disclosed discrepancies in the wrapper and filler statistics of tobacco imports from Cuba which have deprived the government of between $3,000,000 and $6,000,000 annually for the last five years. The laiton and Sasto, Dominican governments have accepted the proposal of Secretary Knox to submit to arbitration the delimitation of the frontier, which has been the cause of serious disputes between the countries. To provide sustenance for the men who are expected to engage in a general archer, Los Angeles in the spring in an attempt to unionize that city, the California building trades council adopted a resolution for the purchase of an industrial farm. The commission of fine arts, which was asked by President Taft to decide whether the District of Columbia should be allowed to build a reformatory near Mount Vernon, has decided that it no longer objection to such action on esthetic grounds. The war department does not view with favor the project for a joint encampment of the National Guard of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, and possibly of Iowa, in September next at Lake Contrary, near St. Joseph, Mo. Mrs. Ella Service, Bassindale, twenty-two years old, fell dying into the arms of Rev. R. S. Smith at the rectory of St. James' Roman Catholic church, Kenosha, Wis. A few minutes before the young woman had swallowed carbolic acid. Following the posting of notices threatening all negroes if they did not "quit the town," the last of 150 negroes left Hominy, Qkli. The trouble started two months ago, when negro tenants were given leases on cotton lands. Five millions of Americans have book worm. This is the fact of primary importance disclosed through the investigation of the origin and progress of the disease by the crops of experts of the Rockefeller commission. Almost complete returns show the ratification of the constitution of New Mexico as framed by the constitutional convention by a majority of approximately 18,200. Officers of Canadian and American express companies, after a conference at New York, announced a reduction in through rates soon to take effect between all offices of the United States and many of Canada. The police of Washington are looking for Mrs. Adel W. Wade; a former school teacher, who is alleged to have fleeced over a hundred citizens of the national capital out of $50,000 or more by an entirely new "game." Andrew Carnegie announced at New York city that he had given another $10,000,000 to the endowment fund of the Carnegie Institute of Research of Washington. This latest contribution brings the total of Mr. Carnegie's gifts to the institution to $25,000,000. James E. Martine, New Jersey candidate for United States senator, is ill at Plainfield, N. J., of grip, accompanied by an abscess in the head. Declaring that the right of the United States to fortify the Panama canal is incontestable, and championing a policy looking to that end, President Taft opened an active campaign on that subject at the annual banquet of the Pennsylvania society in New York city. The president believes that the present session of congress will appropriate $5,000,000 to begin the work. Peruvian insurgents have occupied the heights of Tayabamba, 200 miles north of the capital, and are waiting an attack by the government troops sent to dislodge them. QUEEN OF THE ADRIATIC HALF DROWNED THE PLAZA OF ST. MARK'S UNDER WATER The winter floods that are causing great losses and distress over much of central and southern Europe have affected Venice also and many of the usually dry spots of that city of canals have been inundated. Even the Plaza of St. Mark's, to which visitors first hurry, has been entirely flooded and presented a novel appearance to those familiar with the ordinary aspect of this most famous sight of the Queen of the Adriatic. AGE ON MATRIMONY Billy Goat Thrashes Cop ```markdown ``` President of Eugenic Society Explains to English Royal Commission His Views on Marriage—Certificate of Fitness London.—The eugenic view of matrimony, including the proposal to establish a new age limit for marriage, was explained to the royal commission on divorce by Mr. Montague Crackenthorpe, K. C., president of the Eugenic Society. In this view, he said, marriage was an institution designed, amongst other things, for the continuance of the human race. It should, therefore, be regulated by the community, which had a great interest in the children born into it. One half of eugenic teaching was concerned with the production of the fit, the other with the elimination of the unit. So when certain defects were present before marriage in one of the intending parties the marriage should not take place, and if they developed after marriage it should be dissoluble at the instance of the unblemished party. As to insanity, though in a sense a spouse was taken for better or for worse, to propagate children "for worse" was a wicked and selfish act that must binder the community's progress. It is absolutely cruel that a man should marry a girl of whom he knows very little—except that he has met her in society and regarded her as a charming object—and shortly after marriage she should show herself of unsound mind and lms to be put away, and that man is made a cellbate against his will. As to the equality of the sexes, it was contended that there should be perfect equality; but biologically the sexes were not and never could be made equal. The sexes started equal, but with adolescence they differentiated and nature had ordained that. The sexes were not equal, for you must consider consequences. If a single act on the part of a man be followed by the same legal consequence as misconduct on the part of a wife divorce will be made too "easy," for a little collusion would always bring about a divorce. "Marriage," continued Mr. Crackanthorpe, "should only be permitted af- Butting and Bucking He Sends Policeman Skidding—Animal Is Finally Killed. Pittsburgh, Pa.—For assaulting a policeman, breaking his mace, crushing his helmet over his ears, tearing his clothes and making him the laughing stock of the community, Billy Clark was killed. Everyone in Woods Run—or at least around Harland avenue and Sarah street—knew Bill. He was a goat owned by Patrick Clark of $9 Sarah street, and the Clark children had him broken to harness. At 9 o'clock the other night the goat broke out of its shed and went to Harland avenue, where it drove many young consters up telegraph poles, etc. Officer Michael Redd was told that "Bill Clark was on another tear," and he hurried to the scene. Bill was holding Harland avenue. "Come here to mo. Bill," raid the officer very sweetly, and he approached the goat cautiously with mace unsheated. The goat "came" before Redd expected it and the officer sped for some distance along the levy pavement on the peak of his helmet and his stomach. As the policeman sat up and looked around the goat made another charge. Redd man struck the animal over the head with his --- Airships to Scare Natives or a certificate of fitness for matriclony had been obtained. "Moreover, no man should be allowed to marry before the age of twenty-one and no woman before the age of eighteen." Witness said that, in suggesting these rules, the Eugene Society had not forgotten that marriage involved questions of sex instinct and passion. These rules might have been found impracticable in every age, race and country in the past, but "what may not be practicable in one age may be practicable in another." "Banns," he continued, "were inadequate as at present published. They should be published in an official matrimonial gazette." He was followed by F. W. Mott, of Charing Cross hospital, and pathologist of the L. C. C. asylums. He had been nominated by the Eugene Society, he said, to give evidence on insanity and inebriety. He did first with heredity and insanity. There were twenty thousand lunatics in London asylums. Two thousand who had been in the asylums in the last two years had relatives in asylums. He advocated divorce in cases of chronic, incurable insanity as That is the Plan of the Author of Bill Now Before French Chamber of Deputies. Paris.—A project for the use of aeroplanes with which to frighten the natives of the French colonies in Africa into submission has been introduced in the chamber of deputies in the form of a bill providing for an appropriation of $50,000 for "colonial military aviation." It seems probable that the measure will be passed in view of the threat of the French by the tribesmen Ondalé when Colonel Moll, commander of the French forces, was among the slain. Deputy Gasparin, who is a strong advocate of the plan, said today: "Would the sad events at Onadal have happened if Colonel Moll had at his disposition a few aeroplanes? Perhaps not. Anyway, in the desert regions, where the means of transportation are very meager, the aeroplane could be used to carry orders. Certainly the sight of a great white-winged airship sailing overhead would be sufficient to inspire the natives with mace. The mace was shattered and a piece of it飞着 through the air broke a window, but it did not stop Bill. The policeman then seized the goat by the horns. For the next three minutes the fight was even and spectators cheered. Finally Rodman drew his revolver and killed Bill. 2,500,000 More Subjects of Czar. St. Petersburg—This year's census of the Russian empire adds another 5,000,000 to the population as enumerated in 1908. The czar's subjects now number 100,000,000 and increase every year by 2,500,000 despite wars, epidemics and internal disturbances. As there is no lack of cultivated soil in Russia there seems no reason why this big annual increase should not continue. Warm Current Is Found. St. Petersburg.—The Russian expedition under Geologist. M. Rusanoff has discovered a warm ocean current around Nova-Zembla, but not passing through the Kara sea, where Nansen and others sought for such a current. It is expected that in consequence of the discovery the maritime route to the mouth of Silverlans rivers will henceforth be north instead, of south of Nova-Zembla. IN UNION WE ARE ONE THEMATIC DROWNED of central and southern Europe have canals have been inundated. Even flooded and presented a novel as sight of the Queen of the Adriatic. beneficial to the individual and to society. Drink, he went on, had a pernicious effect on mentally unstable people, and caused the sending of many to agyulums. A very small quantity made them anti-social and insane. He did not find that the children of drunkards were feeble minded, but if the influence existed for two or three, generations disease manifested itself. Dr. Chambers, joint editor of the Journal of Mental Science, said that the remedy lay not in making insanity a ground for divorce, but in preventing the marriage of the unfit. The knowledge that insanity was a ground for divorce would have a prejudicial effect on the mental health of some people, and would distress the minds and retards the recoveries of many of the insane who were under care. The last witness of the day was Dr. G. H. Savage, the famous mental expellent who has forty years' experience in the treatment of the insane. He had written to medical officers, of asylums asking whether insanity was a justifiable ground for divorce, receiving eighty-two replies. These were: Yes, 51; no, 29; indifferent. 2. He himself thought that, despite the existence of a very large number of cases of individual hardship, there was no ground for immediate action. a salutary fear and tend to calm their warlike feelings. They would understand that they had no chance against the power of France and would submit to Jits domination loyally. "Yes, there should be aeroplanes not only in West Africa but also in Indo-China, the Kongo and Madagascar. The last named country offers superior conditions for experiments. The inhabitants have long demanded a railway connecting Tannaribvb with the west coast. Instead of devoting immense sums to this work and burdening the colony, with heavy debts, why not consider an aeroplane service? I understand that M. Plique, governor of the island, is actually studying the question of using aeroplanes for carrying the mails. Undoubtedly French prestige will be tremendously increased when the natives behold the first aeroplane skimming over the capital of Madagascar." SAYS NO·STORK AFTER 2015 Then Only Bables That Come Will Be Imported, Declares Cornell University "Prof." St. Louis.—There will be no children in the United States under five years of age in the year 2020. Babies accordingly will have disappeared from this country as early as 2015. This is the mathematical conclusion of Prof. Walter S. Wilcox of Cornell university, after exhaustive study and comparison of the birth rate during the last century. Professor Willcox addressed his associates in the American Statistical association on the subject of "Comparative Fecundity in the United States and France." The only possibility of seeing babies in the United States after 2020, according to Professor Willcox's calculation, is through importation from France. France, he says, will continue to have babies 50 years after the United States has quit. An endorsement for the stork was recommended to the association by George E. Howard, professor of sociology in the University of Nebraska. In an address on "The Social Control of Domestic Relations," he declared the state should end mothers. Japanese Print Brings $1,150. London.—A copy of the most famous print of the Japanese artist, Utamaro, "The Divers of Ise," realized the record price of $1,150 at Messrs. Sohy's rooms. In 1871 a copy made $210 and in 1907 another copy realized $210. --- THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year. $1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. .50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter.

Morris' letter to the editor of The Gazette, published elsewhere in this paper, and also our Washington, D. C., letter. One of our leading educators of Mississippi has wisely called the attention of the South to the fact that it cannot expect our people to remain where they are either half-paid or robbed of all their wages. This particularly to those who employ farm hands. This is a, subject that Dr. Booker T. Washington could discuss publicly to good purpose, if he would. The white medical students of Georgetown and George Washington Universities recently refused to attend a lecture, at Washington, D. C., because our medical students of Howard University were in attendance. The result is they are being disciplined and may be expelled. This last is hardly severe enough—if meted out to them. Equally silly is the stunt of a pinhead musical critic at the Nation's capital who "protested" against Bert. Williams' acting for "cultured white audiences" as he is, in the white company, "The Follies of 1910." We wish to warn our people of Ohio to be on the lookout for a bill soon to be introduced in the Legislature of Ohio, providing for the establishment of a "Jimrow" state, home for "dependent Afro-American children" of Ohio. This is a hobby of one R. A. Longman (white) of Cincinnati, which was practically endorsed at the Twentieth Annual State Conference (white) of Charities and Correction held in Newark, last year. This is an outcome of the segregation of Afro-American inmates of the "State Home for Girls" at Delaware, several years ago, when Gen. A. L. Harris, a Republican, was Governor; and the segregation of Afro-American Sailors of the Ohio Soldier's Corps of Orphanage in Xenia, last year, under the present Democratic Governor, Hon. Judson Harmon. We have seen a copy of the bill which is to be introduced at an early date, with the backing of the "state conference" referred to. Our people at Columbus should take, the lead in killing the measure as soon as possible after it makes its appearance. Separate "public" playgrounds are now being urged for "the Colored people" of Chicago as well as separate schools. All the direct result of the apparently successful movement, recently to raise funds for a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. there. A white teacher in a letter to the Chicago Daily News wrote a few days ago: "I think such (separate) playgrounds would act as a kindergarten for the "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A." Of course it would. The next thing will be separate or "jimcrow" street cars for Chicago. Thus does the damnable prejudice and color line feed and grow. To this fact doth the prejudiced white person and "jimcrow" Negro "turn a deaf ear and wink the other eye" while too many intelligent people of both classes who see and even recognize fully the dangerous and fearfully harmful retrogressive phase of it all, maintain a silence (instead of protesting, to the utmost of their ability) that is almost criminal, at least as far as our people are concerned. Really it is disheartening and very discouraging. Will our people ever realize the seriousness of the situation before it is too late? We hope so. SEPARATE SCHOOLS FOR CHICAGO. As a direct result of the recent successful movement in Chicago to establish a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A., thus separating those Colored and white "Christians," prejudiced persons (whites) already have on foot a movement to separate the Colored from white in Chicago's public schools. The following is from the Chicago Record-Herald of a few days ago: "At an indignation meeting, of the Flushing (Chicago) Association held to investigate charges that young white girls had been forced to dance with Negro boys in a public school, a committee was appointed tonight to investigate and if necessary ask summary of the condition existed was made by Thomas Jefferson Burnett and caused many angry speeches." No one believes for a moment, not even T. J. Burnett and his fellow members of that "Flushing Association" believe that young white girls were "forced" to dance with our boys in a public school anywhere in this country. They do know, however, that this is just the time to circulate such an injurious report—just when alleged Christians of Chicago are busy establishing a separate or "jimcrow!" Y. M. C. A. Why not separate schools also, and on the same grounds, they argue, and in order to cinct their argument, caused to be published in Chicago's leading daily papers the transparent story (on its very face) that young white girls are "forced" to dance with Negro boys in the present mixed schools of that city! They know full well that the time is ripe, and that if the damaging story can be seared into the minds of enough of Chicago's white population through the medium of that city's ever-willing daily press, the separation is bound to come, almost as quickly as have the funds for a separate or "jimcrow!" Y. M. C. A. for that city. Meantime the easily fooled, short-sighted, "selfish and truckling Negroes of that city, many of whom should know better, are howling with delight over the success of the movement looking to the establishing of a "jimcrow." Y. M. C. A. which is decided Chicagoans who wish separate schools and many other color-lines that cause, innumerable denials of Afro-Americans' citizen rights and privileges in public places, etc. O. Lord! will these alleged intelligent people of ours ever see before it is too late? Anent the Chicago Record-Herald clipping republished above, a white friend in Chicago, "Ben Achar," writes the Gazette as follows: "The democratic principle of education does not require that heads of those whites who believe in skin aristocracy; Nor does it appear that the very fundamental of the Christian religion; has been understood by them. Surely, we as a nationalization and enlightenment at home, that it is a foolish act to waste time, money, good will and energy in sending, out missionaries, to the heathen and backward ones in forlige and true."

The offence of the United States against the Negro is as heinous, if not more so, than the offence of Spain against its dependencies in Philippines and Cuba, and yet with brevity, that the United States under the guise of protecting the weak, waged war against Spain and licked her. It is time for the powers demand of the United States the defense of this reign of lynching and brutality against Negroes.-Rochester Senfinel. The sentiment in the South that a Negro is not as good as a male must go. The Negro must be respected as a mall. If, however, the Negro is sat held in contempt and he treated worse than a white man, it is possible for any one to help, help him. When it is made a crime for a Negro to demand his own and when certain Negroes for temporary gain will abuse the real Negro who wishes complete liberty for his race, it is time to leave him. When a race or any body follows a leader that is cowardly and will not ask for the right for his followers, that people deserves the curse they get. The issue is now turned among colorful men themselves. Every Negro of pronouncement that is satisfied oppose any man that is not satisfied to take it, must be branded a coward and a traitor, to any true race manhood. Any Negro that is willing to be handed and praised because he can influence his race to be satisfied with a working man for other races to deal a rent car to the right of a citizen, allow other men to legislate against him and ten-fold to his burdens, without a protest, must be extracised. The issue is clear. Shall the Negro race have its rights to be treated as cattle?—Rochester (N. Y.) Sentiment. HON. EDWARD H. MORRIS' LET- TER-ENDORSEMENT.

No doubt the next step will be separate schools. We ought to be the last people in the world to advocate what precedents are against education on account of color or race. So many of our men, who ought to know better and who claim to be manly, are such easy victims that they will bite at any silver or gold hook and sell themselves and the rights of others. They don't seem to see that every time they did or countermeasure a separation based on race or color they thereby lend aid and comfort to those who would have such things in all lines—schools, street care. Is it true that after all the colored man is but a child and can be baught with a piece of candy or with false praise? Yourns as ever. Will Unmask Lynchers Shelbyville, Ky.

If it is for the benefit of the individual alone, it should be paid for. If the grocer was asked to contribute groceries to one abundantly able to pay for them, he would refuse. The proprietor of a pharmacy would be for a verising, if the beneficiary does not; but it is one of the hardest things to be learned by many that a newspaper has space to rent and must rent to live. To give anything for less than living rates is as fatal to a newspaper as for the landlord to furnish rent free.—Ex. Want a job as clerk or judge in an ecteion. Scout at 6 a.m. a day.

Especially is this tendency noticeable among prominent men in all walks of life. There is, however, cause for rejoicing rather than otherwise in this tendency for a hobby—always supposing it is not ridden to death—as a means of diversion and relaxation, and it is bound to prove distinctly beneficial to the man of affairs whose mind it relieves temporarily from the stress and strain of official, business or professional careers. It is doubly fortunate that many of our celebrities whose work keeps them indoors much of the time have selectedobbies that lure them out into the open. President Taft, for instance, has V JOSEPH W. PELK ON HORSEE JOSEPH W. POLK ON HORSEBACK three out-door hobbies, golf, motorizing and horseback riding. His chief indoor hobby is grand opera as rendered by a talking machine. He has in his "corner" of the Blue Room at the White House one of the finest of the modern sound reproducing instruments and will sit by the hour enjoying the voices of Caruso, his special favorite, Mme. Tetrazinil, and other operatic stars. Another prominent man who delights in twenteth century musical production is Captain Peary of North Pole fame, who amuses himself with a player plano. Representative Nicholas Longworth, who married Alice Roosevelt, is an accomplished violinist. The hobbies of the vice president of the United States are home—gardening and baseball. Mr. Sherman does not play ball himself, but he is an enthusiastic "fan." There is, however, one prominent man who is a ball player of genuine ability. This is John K. Tener, former congressman from Pennsylvania, who has been very prominent in the public eye since his election as governor of the Keystone state. Mr. Tener was a professional ball player before he went to congress and last year he got up that memorable ball game in which the Democratic congressmen played TREASURE How the Coast Has TREASURE How the Coast Has E TREASURE HUNTERS IN MAINE How the Coast Has Been Dug Over in Hunt for Captain Kidd's Gold "There are more than a score of epots along the coast of eastern Maine where Captain Kidd is said to have buried his treasure previous to his disastrous voyage to the coast of east Africa." said F.

Kild is said to have buried treasure is in Musselridge channel, at a point 500 rods toward the South, Thomaston shore from Twobush island, and in the center of a triangle formed by drawing a straight line from White Head to Twobush, another from Twobush to Owl's Head, and a third back to the viewpoint at White Head. to the starting point "Hundreds of men in boats have dredged and dragged the waters about this spot on century or longer, and if any one has found wealth from the labor that the fact is not circulated widely, through the fishermen and clam diggers continue to labor and hope in quite of many discouragements.

Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio, another possible nominee for the nation's highest office, confesses an especial weakness for fishing—the fad of Gifford Pinchot, the late Grover Cleveland and many other men who lead a tremendous life. Mr. Justice Hughes, former governor of New York and newest member of the United States Supreme court, spends his vacations in camping and mountain climbing.

Bread has been for centuries recognized in the telling popular phrase as "the staff of life," and popular phrases are usually found on sound experience, the Philadelphic Telegraph says. Going back to the word of the language, our word "lord" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "loaf-ward" the lonf keeper or dispenser, who was, of course, an important feudal figure. The Roman mob cried "panem et circumense"—for grain and pleasure. Despite the strictures of dyspeptic Carlyle, the Scotch with their oaten cakes and oatmeal porridge are a robust race. The Chinese have for centuries flourished on a fare of rice; the ornithogal American had maize as their chief food; the southern Latin people partake mainly of spaghetti and the northern peasanty, eat their bread made of various grains.

Tall, tall young man butt in so many different fads that no brief article would suffice to catalogue them all. However, the former president attributes much of his energy and intense interest in life to the fact that he not only has plenty of fads to allow for that variety which is the spice of existence but is always attempting something new. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, has for some years past had life flying as a fad and has busied himself with all sorts of interesting experiments with a new type of triangular shaped lattice which he has developed, his experiments even including the operation of wireless telegraphy wireless. Emil Berliner, another famous inventor, who contributed to the present day telephone and phonograph, is now dabbling with alarms as a pastime.

AN HISTORIC CHAIR Used by Founder of Independent Odd Fellows. Seat Occupied by Thomas Wildey, Noble Grand of the First Lodge of the Order Organized In American Drockton, Mass.—Herewith is presented a picture of the chair used by Thomas Wildey, the founder of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, when he was noble grand of Washington lodge, the first lodge of Odd Fellows organized in America. This lodge was organized at the tavern of the Seven Stars, 2d street, Baltimore, Aug. 26, 1819. The chair was left to James L. Ridgely by Wildey at his death. Ridgely was for many years prominent in Odd Fellowship in Baltimore, holding the office of grand stirr and later secretary of the sovereign grand lodge. It was given by Ridgely to James H. Downs of Baltimore, who was also prominent in Odd Fellowship, and a representative to the sovereign grand lodge from Friendship lodge of Baltimore. Mr. Downs died in Baltimore at the age of 10 in 1904. After his widow the chair was given by her to widow to her son-in-law, Edward C. Harding, whose home is at 50 Florence street, Brockton. Mr. Harding is a member of Plymouth lodge of Abington. The chair was shown some time ago at an Odd Fellows' fair, held in Brockton and is highly valued for its historical interest. It is the intention of Mr. Harding that after his death it shall either go to some lodge of Odd Fellows, or possibly he sent to Baltimore to 5, or with a van to New York to memorize his historical articles held in that city, connected with the founding of Odd Fellows in America. When it was given by Mr. Ridgely to Mr. Downs far less attention was paid to the preservation of historical articles than is done at the present Historic Odd Fellows' Chair. time. It is stated that Mr. Ridgely verbally stipulated that the chair should never go out of an Odd Fellows' family. It is not unlike many of the chairs used in the smaller Odd Fellows lodges at the present day. The wood is old English oak. The chair is in an excellent state of preservation and even the covering of the upholstering is in a fair condition. There is a broached velvet back and arms with crimson velvet seat. The wood itself is massive and with little or no carving. At the house in Brockenhurst the chair has been seen by very many visitors, and as the photograph shows, there is a card at the front of the chair stating briefly its history. There is a tradition that the chair was brought from England to Baltimore by Thomas Wildey in 1826, when Wildey visited England in order to obtain all the information possible from the officers and members of the Manchester Unity that might in any way be used to order in this country. ful to that. If that is true, this was six years after the order was first started by Wildey in Baltimore. There is no question but that it was used in Baltimore both by Wildey and Ridgely, both of whom have monuments in Baltimore commemorating their work in the order. to Wildey was born in London, Jan. 15, 1782. He was the first noble grand of Washington lodge, the first grand master of the grand lodge of Maryland, the first grand sire of the grand lodge of the United States, which of he filled for eight years, and in 1835 he was made traveling agent for the grand lodge of the United States, and in this capacity he travelled all over the country, establishing and encouraging the order wherever he went. He died in Baltimore, Oct. 19, 1861, at the age of 50 years. Oldest Woman in the World. Pavelego, Bulgaria.-Belloved to be the oldest woman in the world, a peasant living in this village was born according to the register in the Greek orthodox church here in 1781. The woman, whose name is Daba Valka, has spent 100 years of her life working in the fields. She now lives on an income contributed by her descendants, each of whom—and they number over a hundred to her great-great-grandchildren, contribute a small sum for her support. Mme. Vanka is in possession of her senses. Her oldest son is well on in the 90s, and still works in the fields. These cases are remarkable, even among the long-lived Bulgarian peasants. Animals Free Caring for Animals New York — A year ago a free clinic and dispensary for animals was established on Lafayette street, New York city, by the New York Lengue for Animals. During the 12 months 4,000 dogs, 610 horses and 1,200 cats have been treated free. "High Cost" as shown by Hospitals. New York — The high cost of living as affecting even the hospitals and those in New York will advance their rates. Ten years ago the average daily cost of maintaining a patient in a New York hospital was $1.17. Now it is $1.80. HOW TO WEIGH THE EARTH Simple Method Adopted by a Celebrated English Savant for Estimating Globe's Weight. Washington.—We know the size of this planet, so we know how many gallons of water could go into the space it occupies. Well, all those gallons would weigh just about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons. One billion billions of tons. Now the earth isn't made of water only, but of rocks and metals and sand and a thousand other things. How many times heavier would it be when all these things are allowed for? To use the scientific word—what is the density of the earth? The best way of making such a measurement was invented in 1795 by a celebrated English savant, Henry Cavendish. Cavendish's method was an indirect one. The force that draws a body to the earth—its weight—is a manifesta Weighing the Earth. tion of the power known as gravitation. We know how to measure this power, and everybody is familiar with its manifestations. Everybody, on the earth or off, attracts every other body. The amount of the attraction depends only on the mass of the two bodies that attract each other and the distance between them. Cavendish eliminated the earth as a distributing factor by making his two bodies attract each other in a horizontal direction. The earth's attraction is, of course, vertical. He took a long, thin stick, very light and six feet in length, and suspended it horizontally by a silver wire fastened to its middle. To each end of the rod he attached little balls or knots of lead. The bodies that were to these two knobs were big balls of lead. He arranged his apparatus so that a given signal he could bring the large balls close up to bands at the ends of the stick, one on one side of the knob, one on the other side of the knob at the other end. He found that when he did this each knob drew toward the big-lead ball near it, swinging the wooden red round on its wire support. With delicate instruments, he measured how much the rod and the wire, twisted out of place. Thus he could tell what was the force of attraction—the force of gravitation—pulling the knobs toward the lead balls. He knew how much the earth would attract the knobs—that is, he knew their weight; he knew how much material there was in the large lead balls used, the size of the quantity of material, the earth to the quantity in the balls of lead followed from the simple laws established by Isaac New All the apparatus used is thus comparatively simple - for a scientific experiment at any rate. A silk or fiber thread can replace the silver wire used by Cavendish, the knobs and balls need not be of lead, they can be of any material, but the heavier the better, only they must be of magnetic material—iron, for instance—otherwise the effect of magnetism would overshade those of gravity. What you have to do is to measure the force that attracts the knobs to the balls, and the distance between the knobs and the balls, then apply the simple formula of Newton's laws of gravitation. BREAKS AIRWOMEN'S RECORD Daring Mile, Mavingt Makes Greatest Long-Distance Flight in a French Airplane. Paris.—The world of sport is bowing at the feet of a new idol. This time it is a darling woman. Miss Marvingt is her name and she has broken the record for long-distance flights for women in an airplane by performing a journey of 27 miles at Mournemelon, in a flight which lasted 53 minutes. Miss Marvingt in Her Aeroplane. Miss Marvingt, who is a pupil of Latham, has also distinguished herself in another element, for she is a well-known swimmer and not long ago defended some champions of the water at Toulouse. Three years ago she swam through Paris in the Selne. She is also something of a mountaineer. When she made her record flight the air was intensely cold and she wore a kind of fur sack of Latham's invention, similar to those used by Arctic explorers and gold diggers in the north. She flew at a height of about 130 feet. Several times the aerospace lurched dangerously, the wind being troublesome; but she succeeded in righting it every time. The flight was made for a cup offered by a French newspaper Four Armed Men Watch Body of Dead Scientist Leader. Precautions Taken to Prevent Act of Vandalism — Church Head Believed in Admonition, "Pray, but Keep Your Powder Dry." Boston—The tomb of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy in Mount Auburn cemetery is being guarded carefully day and night, to protect it from possible vandals, by tour armed guards selected by the directors of the Christian Science church in Boston. The guards are members of the Christian Science church and are known to be of entirely trustworthy character. Certain members of the First Church of Christ Scientist of New York city have protested against the maintenance of an armed guard, but this is being ignored. The protest sets forth that the action of the directors is comparable to that of the authorities of Jerusalem, and that the guard at the tomb of the Christ. They contend to blanching of an armed guard shows lack of faith. The guards work in pairs with two shifts of 12 hours each. It has been generally understood that they live while on duty shut up in the tomb. This is not necessary if they do not desire to do so. If the weather permits and they prefer it the guards remain outside the tomb near enough to keep it in plain view. Neither do the men take any meals in the tomb unless they desire to do so. Sometimes when the weather is severe the guards carry their lunch with them and eat in the tomb. The men sleep at their homes, where they have at least two meals each 12 hours. A good deal of the time the guards while on duty remain in a small wooden room that has been constructed in GATE TO SAULT GROUND OISEEN HOUSE THE GATE TO SAULT GROUND WINDOWS WINDOWS WINDOWS LETTERS FROM TOMO How the Eddy Tomb is Guarded. the outer room of the receiving vault. The little room is about ten feet long, eight feet wide and seven feet high. There is a door in one side. Through a tiny square window fitted with a slide the guards may look through the grated inner doors into the catacombs. Through an opposite window of the same kind they may gaze toward the outer door of the vault. The receiving vault is 25 feet wide, about twice as deep and divided into two compartments. To reach the outer compartment one goes through a decorated double gate of metal. The caskets are placed on either side of the long room with a corridor between them about ten feet in width. The yacht has a capacity of 50 caskets. Just how long the casket of Mrs. Eddy will remain there has not yet been determined, but the guards will stay as long as the casket remains. "This precaution on the part of the Christian Science church," said one of the members, "is in keeping with the usual wisdom of that body and exemplifies the 'fact that Christian Scientists are responsible.' In this regard every sensible person takes reasonable precaution. Mrs. Eddy was careful and was naked for her foresight. She believed an fire insurance and approved of every business and personal safeguard. She evidently believed in the old admonition, "Pray, but keep your powder dry!" "In the matter of guards for Mrs. Eddy's tumb, every sensible person will approve of it. The acts of vandalism which have in the past been perpetrated after the deaths of noted persons would justify this precaution. No doubt the directors felt that the women did deliberate in their trust if they did not safeguard the remains of Mrs. Eddy. "The directors adopted what seemed the simplest and most effective way of doing it." Rich Kansas Negro Hutchinson, Kan.-A few days ago John W. Thomas, a negro, planked down something like $10,000 cash for a piece of farming land south of Hutchinson. Thomas also closed the deal about the same time for the sale of a farm southwest of town for $15,000. Thirty years ago Thomas went to Kansas without a tool and took jobs that could get him the unlucky majority of his people, he did not stay in the city, but sought the country and began farming. Today Thomas is worth not less than $50,000 owns a couple of farms and some city property, has a touring car and enjoys other luxuries of life. Shakespeare's Wealth London.—Shakespeare never liked London, though for years he was obliged to make it his home in order to accumulate wealth. When his fortune rose to $200,000 he quit London and retired to his country home at Stratford, where he lived the life of a wealthy gentleman until the end. The size and noise and inclavility of London he never tired speaking of and wondered how any man could endure them who had the means of living anywhere else. Practical Fashions 5274 The empire style is always becoming to the uncorseted figure and a wrapper such as the one illustrated will undoubtedly be worn most often under these conditions than when a woman is desirous-of appearing dressed. The waist is cut on the peasant lines with the sleeves in one piece with it. The seam in the center of the back makes the design possible for even narrow materials. The neck is trimmed by a contrasting material and this is the only ornamentation of which the gown is capable. Printed crepe, silks, challis, and cashmero of various shades are all materials suitable for a wrapper of this character. The pattern (5274) is cut in sizes 33 to 44 inches bust measure.
