IN WHICH THE LEGISLATURE TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 29. Hats for Matrons A. V IN SPITE of all the jibes flung at womankind for her sickness as to fashlons in headwear, there are some, sorts of hats that are always worn and always in style, or able to defy the passing fads of the moment. Among them are the small toques designed for elderly matrons and others who affect, inconspicuous and good styles, the walking hat, dear to all women, and the big picture hat with broad brim of graceful flowing lines which is the rose in the rosebud garden of hats every season. All the styles vary a little from time to time, but hardly enough to identify themselves as belonging to a certain year. Three pretty and becoming hats for matrons are pictured here suitable to almost any season. The variation of the, English walking hat, with brim faced with velvet, and turning up at the left, is finished with a very ample drapery of silk. The arrangement of this drapery gives the impression of a shape turned up at both sides, as in the regulation walking shape. Such a hat needs no additional trimming, but may be adapted to young wearers by the addition of a smart feather, or it may be elaborated for anyone by a tuft of ostrich half plumes. One must look far for a more elegant hat or a model so, universally becoming. Hats of this character require the work of an experienced milliner; nothing short of perfection in draping and in finish is permissible in them. Faces must fit; trimmings must be placed by a practiced eye, otherwise the hat is a dismal failure and impossible. The toque of silk or hair braid shown in the second figure is easier to accomplish. It is made on a light wire frame which has an ample head size. The frame is covered with chiffon and faced with maline shirred on med with ropes of Tuscan straw and an appliqué of leaves made of black satin forming a close set wreath. One or two plumes mounted at the side, complete a hat to be proud of. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Embroidery Scissors Holders, One of the Most Acceptable Gifts That Can Be Made. If you can do even the simplest sort of crocheting, you must make yourself and your friends one of the little crocheted silk embroidery scissors holders. These consist simply of a cork, crocheted around in silk everywhere except the top surface, and with a crocheted string or handle to which the scissors are attached. Then when they are not in use the points are stuck into the cork and they are out of harm's way. An accompaniment of this, not quite so new, but very useful, is a tiny glass medicine vial without a lid, crocheted all over very finely. Into it are dropped broken needles, and bent pins, and they are far safer there than thrown carelessly on the floor or in the wastebasket. When the vial is full slip off the silk—a little drawing string at the bottom permits this—and empty it, burying the needles in the earth or throwing them into the fire. These two little sewing, convictions, attached by a bit of ribbon in the same color, will make charming favors for the next lunch-on of your sewing society. CREPE·DE CHINE WAIST. This attractive waist is of white crepe de chine made with tucks in different widths and trimmed, with bands of cream lace on embroidery. The gulme is made of bands of valenciennes insertion, the collar edged with black velvet, of which the knot on the front of the waist is also made. THE GAZETTE I The coronet is covered with ruffles of the braid and the crown is made by puffing a drapery of brad over it. Black satin ribbon three inches wide is puffed to the toque brim from the back to a point at the middle of the left brim. Here a ribbon plume is set made by sewing short loops to a wire support. Two jet ornaments or pins fasten the plume to the hat, and add a pretty touch of brilliance to the lustrous surface of the ribbon. The hat is good in any dark or rich color, but is at its best in black. The materials of which it is made must be excellent in quality. A hat with drooping brim and large crown, of black hair braid, is made strictly a mode of the reason, but, as it is patterned after the Corlay hat, it is not likely to ever be out of style. It is an elegant beard of millinery, trimmed with ropes of Tuscan straw and an appliqué of leaves made of black satin forming a close set wreath. One or two plumes mounted at the side, complete a hat to be proud of. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Dalinity Bedroom Slippers Should Be a Standard Article for Every-day Use. A dalinity pair of bedroom slippers may be made from two lapped sections of shirred three-inch ribbon (the length, of course, depending on the size of the foot) attached across the front of a lamb's-wool sole. This forms the toe and instep portion. The sides and back of the slipper are formed of a straight band of ribbon, lined with satin and sewed to the sole. If desired, it can be stiffened with bristol board. Flowered, taffeta ribbon is best for this purpose, but it should not be too stiffy. A drawstring passed through the upper edge of the sides may be tied in a bow in front, or the upper edge may be finished at the sides and back by two-inch wide portion lined with the satin in a contrasting cover portion, turned down like a collar and caught by a few stitches or a baby ribbon rosette. Some of the cut-out borders are charming used with simple, almost plain, side walls, and chintz or cretonne curtains carrying out the design of the border. Then again, if the wall spaces are large, it is sometimes interesting to divide them up into panels, either with simple ribbon or flower borders or with floral crowns and borders similar to the one illustrated. The panelled rooms, however, have the disadvantage of seeming to require a little more elaborate furnishing than those in which the walls are treated simply. They seem to demand Sheraton, Heppelwhite, or Adams furniture—Harper's Bazar. Wedding Silver The necessary silver for a bride is: Four sets, of spoons, which includes soup, dessert, tea, and after dinner coffee; butter knives; four sets of forks, including oyster forks, and two sizes of steel knives, with silver, handles. If the carving is to be done on the table, two sets of carvers will be needed. The newest and prettiest chest to hold these comes without drawers now, and the silver is arranged in plies, with the two sets of knives spread in the cover of the box—the whole lined with soft ocee leather. Metal Fabrics. Metal tunic drapers at the back, flexible and glittering, are a marked feature in dressy gowns, falling from between the shoulders. Gauze and small metal discs on thin fabrics give much style to a gown. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1911.

LONDON WANTS TEMPLE BAR BROUGHT BACK TEMPLE BAR AS IT WAS BEFORE 1878 TEMPLE BAR AS IT NOW STANDS IN THEOBALD'S PARK London.—Owing to the recent decease of Lady Meux, who owned Temple Bar, a movement has been put on foot to bring back to London that famous feature of the old city. The project already has the support of lovers of historic London and seems likely to take tangible form. It has been suggested that Temple Bar might well be re-erected in front of the Adelphi, with flights of steps connecting with the Adelphi Terrace and its historic houses. When Temple Bar was torn down in 1878, as an obstruction to traffic, it was purchased by the late Sir Henry Meux and re-erected in Theobald's park, where it now stands. READING AS A CURE To Prevent Seasickness Read Exciting Story. University of Chicago Professor Saves Particularly Engrossing Detective Narrative Until Big Storm Is Threatened. Chicago.—Interesting literature as a preventative of seasickness is advocated by a University of Chicago professor, who declares that his own personal experience upon the rolling seas has been such as to demonstrate the practicability of his plan. In ordinary weather aboard ship in midocean the professor reads a sentimental story. If the waves are tossing high and the wind is blowing hard he fastens his attention to a tale of exciting adventure or deep mystery. He boldly makes the assertion that his scheme has never failed to ward off impending seasickness and adds that, while his traveling companions are in the throes of distress, he sits engrossed in his reading, unmindful of the rise and fall of the vessel. "I gauge the intensity of the story I read by the roughness of the seas and the height of the waves," the professor laughed. "Yes, I know it is a unique cure for seasickness, but in my case and in the case of another professor here at the university to whom I preached the strange doctrine it has been uniformly successful. I have been in some bad atoms, but I have yet to feel my first pang of seasickness. "I have one detective story which as yet I have never-been called upon to use," he went on. "I am saving it for some awful storm, and when that time comes I shall have more faith in that detective story as a sure preventive than the old-fashioned grand-mothers had in loose grease as a napancea for children' lills. If the waves sweep over the vessel's bow aft to the stern it willer that I will still be reading in my cabin, as devoid of sea-sickness as an electric light bulb is of air." "How do you explain your unique method of prevention?" he was asked. "Concentration of the mind upon some other subject than the height of the waves or the possibility that the boat may sink," was the reply. "I often have occasion to do ocean traveling and I have found fear of seasickness and constant dwelling of the mind upon its related horrors are largely responsible. So I have devised a way to keep from having the illness. Keep your mind off it and keep your mind busy by reading an absorbing book. If you like detective stories get out the most exciting one you own when the captain tells you that a storm is approaching from the starboard quarter. Interest yourself in the story and you'll scarcely notice that a storm has struck when it does come. "Whenever my students signify their intention of taking a trip abroad I never fall to give them my scheme TOO MUCH NOISE FOR GERMAN After Ride in Subway and Sight of Tall Buildings in Gotham Farmer Decides to Return. New York—One hour of New York was enough to convince Julius Larenzen, a German farmer, that he was better off in his own country, and he will sall back on the next steamer. He will take back with him intact the $3,500 which he brought over to invest in an American farm. Larenzen was met at Ellis Island by a friend who took him to see the sights. They entered the subway at the Battery, bound uptown. At Wall street, the second stop, Larenzen decided to get out as he was afraid the " tunnel would collapse." His fright was not lessened in the streets. The towering buildings in the financial district overcame him entirely. He told his friend that after one hour in New York he did not want to be an American farmer and agreed to be taken back to Ellis Island. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. for dispelling danger of scarciness. And they have reported to me upon their return that the method was successful. Perhaps if they did not apply themselves in their reading—did not become sufficiently interested, I mean—they were seized with the illness, but those who really interested themselves in their books crossed the ocean and were in tiptop physical condition the whole way over." The professor's unique views have caused considerable comment among his fellow educators at the university, many of whom make it a practice to go to Europe or some other transoceanic point every two years. Some have taken the suggestion as a joke, its exponent declares, and others have taken it seriously. In most cases the ones who take it as it is given—in all seriousness—are the ones who are not taken with scarciness, while those who think it is a joke are kept in their cubes for three or four days. Certain advanced classes of students at the university, especially classes in the divinity school, make pilgrimages in a body to the holy land. On the eve of their departure this professor never misses an opportunity to impart to them his discovery. WARD FOR NERVOUS DISEASES Treatment by Psycho-Analysis to Be Made on Patients in Johns Hopkins Hospital. Baltimore, Md.-John Hopkins hospital will soon have the first ward in the world for the treatment of nervous disease under what is known as psycho-analysis, or soul analysis. Experiments will be made on patients during sleep in this new department of the Henry Phipps psychiatric clinic, which is being built with money given by the New York millionaire. The theory on which the new treatment is based is that every person is Much Gambling Carried on by Poorest of Children. London'—T. H. Manners How contributes an article to the Graphite which he heads "Demoralized Boy Workers" and which contains a painful account of the gambling that goes on among the poorest of the children of this city. It is a subject that previously has been little investigated, and Mr. Howe's article, has created an unpleasant sensation. Mr. Howe describes how a friend of his, the manager of a large London warehouse, found one of the boys employed in it in a dead faint. He made an investigation, and found that the boy was earning less than two dollars a week. He lived with his parents, who took the greater part of his earnings, and allowed him 36 cents a week for his car fare and midday meals. Instead of spending the 36 cents for these purposes, however, the boy walked to and from the office, ate nothing away from home, and spent every penny he obtained in backing horses and in repaying the "gutter usurer" to whom he had been driven when he got into debt. This boy, says Mr. Howe, was only a type of numerous others—self-starved, worried young weaklings, with lives incessantly exposed to the persistent attacks of "those evil geniuses of the street," the penny bookie and petty usurer of the gutter." Mr. Howe goes on to say: "I have studied this question of juvenile betting for some years, and have seen the evil of it working among the kids. It has become such a profitable business that there are bookies who devote themselves to it exclusively. The transients are entirely in copers, and a boy is allowed to have a bet in IN UNION THERE IS STRUCTURE ROUGHT BACK LE BAR AS IT NOW IS IN THEOBALD'S PARK Temple Bar, a movement has been put project already has the support of been suggested that Temple Bar might ing with the Amelphi Terrace and its ion to traffic. It was purchased by the ands. possessed of two personalities, conscious and subconscious. It is held that when a person is asleep the conscious personality is at rest and the subconscious is predominant, hence dreams are the natural interpretation of the repressed ideas of the subconscious personality. "Dream analysis" is the chief method employed in the diagnosis which affords a guide to the proper treatment of the disease. In completeness of its equipment the ward is without parallel in the world and it is believed that it will bring much light on the treatment of nervousness, an affection so common in this country that it has come to be known among physicians as the "American" disease. Psycho-analysis will be practiced in the hospital by Dr. Trigant Burrow, who has been studying this science for three years in Europe under Doctor Freud and Doctor Jung of Zurich, Switzerland, who are authorities. The treatment aims at the unification of the personalities. Knowing the wishes and wants of the conscious personality as derived from the conversation of the patient, there remain to be ascertained the wishes and wants of the subconscious personality. The principle of the school is that there lurks in every dream, often disguised, a repressed wish for fulfillment. Although this phase of the treatment of nervous diseases will be in the hands of Doctor Burrow, it is due in great part to the efforts, of Dr. Adolf Meyer, head of the department for the treatment of neurotic disease, that the ward will be established. Doctor Meyer is a native of Zurich, Switzerland. He came to Johns Hopkins last year from the New York State Pathological institute at Wards island, New York city. Quarter Million Dead Rats. London...Rat catchers reported at the last meeting of the Tendring district council that they had killed 250,000 rodents in the crusade started by fear of cholera. ENNY BETS a single penny. But he has to pay for the privilege by submitting to a severe handicap, which, although offering the bait of a proportionately large prize, places nearly all the chances in the hands of the bookle. "This handicap is embodied in what is known as the composite system. That is to say, the boy is compelled to spot three placed horses in three separate races. He is not allowed, when betting in copiers, to win by backing one horse only. His task is, of course, a much harder one, and his chances of losing his money far greater. "In spite of this, however, the lad, with wages averaging from 5s to 10s a week, most of which goes to their parents, literally swarm around these pestilent tempers, who haunt the entrances to the big warehouses and printing establishments. At the crowded dinner hour, when the streets are fullest of bustle, the youngsters pass their coppers and slips of paper into the ready hands of the toast, darting away with their heads full of the prospect of a win or the tip for some fresh race which he tout has confidently imparted. "Only a little while ago a friend of mine was standing idly at a street corner looking about him, when suddenly a small, dingy-looking lad thrust something into his hand and instantly bolted. My friend found he had been presented with a couple of coppers wrapped in a piece of paper inscribed with the names of three horses entered for as many forthcoming races. He had evidently been mistaken for some street bookie who—the inference is—must have been in the habit of appearing in a very decent guise." The ingenuity of these street bookmakers in baffling the police is, described as beyond belief. They and the other parasites, the small money lenders, who advance sums from 13 cents up, are responsible for the ruin of thousands of young lives, during promising boys into street haplers, bohlhouses and warriors.

BEST IN the country. Lewis E. Johnson, secretary of the proposed "separate" Y. M. C. A. of Washington, D. C., got his start in the "mixed" Y. M. C. A. of Cleveland. Booker T. Washington's son-in-law designed the building Johnson is trying so hard to build for Negroes of the Northwest. The building, it is not difficult to figure out why they recommend a separate or "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. for our people of this city. Their unsolicited advice is not only not wanted but impertinence, pure and simple, to say the least. He has a full reading of Dr. J. G. Robinson's letter to The Gazette, published elsewhere in this issue. The Indianapolis Freeman is in error. Cleveland has not "Colored Y," M. C. A. organization," and what is better, is not likely to have one, at least in our life-time. There is no need of any such thing and no demand for it. This is said, too, with full knowledge of the fact that the noise a few local "jimcrow" Negroes, most of whom have been"but a short time in Cleveland,"have made, is misleading the Freeman in his apaura. The successful, substantial, intelligent and leading Afro-Americans of this city are a unit, against a separate or "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. here. The editor of the Freeman is wrong again: The editor of The Gazette does not "think President Taft just as good as Senator Foraker." As a matter of fact, there is hardly a loyal Afro-American in the state of Ohio, who does not regard it as an insult, but rather as a blessing to herself, to mention in their hearing the Senator's 'and the President's names in the same breath. The Jews fight every form of racial discrimination against them "to the very last ditch." Now, they are demeaning that this country declare a void treaty with Russia because that country has "refused in certain cases of Jewish-Americans to honor passports rightfully in their possession." Congressman Parsons, of New York, has refused to grant gentile, has introduced a resolution in the lower house of Congress, calling upon President Taft to declare the treaty of 1832 with Russia void. This, on the request of prominent N. Y. City Jewish-Americans. Meanwhile there are selfish and short-sighted Negroes all through the North who are urging Jimcrow discrimination and that they utterly oblivious of the fact that they are materially assisting in building up race prejudice in many ways in their various communities, and adding greatly to the burden now almost, too heavy for self and race respecting, intelligent and loyal members of the race to bear. They could learn much from the experience of all citizen and manhood rights and privileges, if they would but study-it. In the case of Russia, Jewish-Americans claim that when on visits to that country they are - frequently (if not always) - subjected to the same restrictions that are placed upon Russian-Americans killed in larger numbers (Kisheff) and is treated worse than our people in the South ever have been. THIS IS "THE LIMIT!" New York City--In February's World's Work Booker T. Washington asserts that his dining with President Roosevelt at the White House was accidental, and never deserved the criticism. Here is more, and worse: "In dining with President Roosevelt," Booker T. says, "there was no disposition on my part to attack the custom of the South. There is, thereward, no excuse for assertion that our dining together was a pre-conjected plan." PRETTY HOT, THIS! The "jim-crow nigger" is a hold back to the best class of Negroes. What must be done with him? -Pales tine (Tex). Plaudealer. Just let him alone. Brother Free must for his days are numbered. All wrongs always die a hard death. In other words, the suicide. Likewise the "jim-crow" nigger. Just let him alone, he'll break his own "jim-crow" neck "jim-crowing." -Calvert (Tex). Bugle. The Pullman company is to Fight. Vicksburg. Miss. -Representatives of the Pullman company here announced that if the higher courts decided against their rights to sell sleeping car accommodations to Negroes, Pullman service to the discriminators. Miss Pearl Mori recently was awarded a verdict for $15,000 because Negro Methodist bishops, were admitted to a sleeping car occupied by white women. Wise Saying. For around and beyond whatever is exceptional and illustrious in human life stretches that which is average and unperceived. Y. M. C. A. BUILDING TROUBLE.

TOKIO'S LORD MAYOR AND THE GAZETTE. "The Old Reliable" Representing Afro-Americans in High Official-dom in Japan. When the Hon. Yukio Ozaki, Lord Mayor of Tokyo, and his wife passed through America recently, on their way to New York, he clipped on an American reminder. So he commissioned a press clipping bureau in New York to gather all that was published in the newspapers concerning his American visit, directing him on leaves mounted on leaves and be bound in leather. He intended the work, he explained, for the Imperial Library of Japan. The work has just been completed by the Burrelle bureau and forwarded to the press. The labor of gathering the material necessary for the reading of all papers in America and resulted in 5240 separate items from different publications; a prominent position being given to The Gazette. These items were mounted on Irish linen paper leaves, four columns to the page, of thirteen by fifteen inches in size, and filled 739 pages, aggregating 46,100 inches of solid reading. The pages are of the thinnest material usable, measures nearly a foot thick.

Our people of this city were so fortunate that he befits his ability and standing. Sunday evening there were 12 converts; Monday and Tuesday evenings seven each.

At night the final report was presented to the loyal and devoted efforts to God and His cause had been rewarded to the tune of $1,200.30.

The following resolutions were introduced at a recent meeting of the Hiawatha club by Mrs. J. M.

A. in the city of Cleveland and of our leading and progressive citizens, knowing it to be a retrograding step, oppose it, and. Whereas, We know that establishing such a separate institution in the city of Cleveland, and giving our sanction, will only lead to separate schools, separate cars, certain resident localities, and other separation in the course of time. Therefore be it resolved, That we, as members of the Hiawatha club, and mothers of the young men to suffer by such a separation, and well-wishers of all young men of the race, naturally interested in their advancement, intellectually, socially and otherwise, do bitterly opposed to such a step, believing it to be very detrimental, and uncalled for in this city. Be it further resolved, That we regret very deeply that there are those in our city who are so short-sighted, or indifferent to the welfare of the race in general, as to advocate such a step. Resolved, That if such a step continue to be advocated, that we, as members of this club, do best ourselfs to awaken every mother and woman in Cleveland, to offer protest which it is our imperative duty to do, the guardians and willers of these women will be greatly affected by such a backward movement.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1911 OPPOSED TO SEPARATE Y. M. C. A. Editor Gatzette - Dear Sir, We must not have a separate Y. M. C. A, because we cannot support it. We, as citizens of Cleveland, should not encourage a feeling of prejudice that we have been fighting the last forty years or more; but as citizens let us make ourselves worthy of such charities that are open to us. First of all, let us feel that we have a right to help citizens as well as attend them. While we must ple contribute towards them, the larger portion do not. Right here, let me ask, have not we just as much right to give as to receive? Yes, I think we have. Now I am not discouraging the Y. M. C. A, proposition because I want to encourage social equality, for I find in my race all that other races have in the way of higher social and intellectual attainments, but what I do ask is that civil rights be accorded my race just as they are in other races, regardless of creed or color, discrimination in this and other cities is largely due to the lack of interest that we show in aiding and supporting the different opportunities that are open to us. Let our white brothers learn to recognize us as citizens just as they do other races. MARY PARRISH TARRER.4 A CALL TO OUR WOMEN. Separate or "Jim-Crow" Y. M. C. A.'s, in the North at Least, Unchristian and an Outrage—An excellent Suggestion. Lorain, O. Jan. 30, 1911. My Dear Mr. Smith: I am enthusiastic over your editorial on "The Jincrow Y. M. C. A." and am writing to urge you onward and beg of you to call on the Afro-American women to fight the thing called "prejudice" which now comes to us in the guise of Christianity. I have often wondered why it is that white clergy do not take any decided stand in regard to lychings when they are so quick to fight other evils not so far-reaching. For instance, you no doubt will remember the christianity of the set apart for special prayer in all churches throughout the United States to defeat Senator Breckenridge. But the cry does not go out for a day of prayer when innocent black men, women and children are massacred and others driven away from their homes. I am not an injustice to my people I feel that glorious Chiefletian blood of my black forefathers leap in my veins goading me on to action until in my helplessness I cry out, O. God, what shall I do? What CAN I do? and then I have all sorts of wild ideas more or less sane. I say again, O. Smith, you can have a chance they have always been found ruddy to fight for the right as did the French women of revolutionary times. I shall give you one of my ideas which I wish you would carry out because I know you could do it so much better than anyone else as it requires someone not afraid to hit straight out from the shoulder in rattling good work to the back in a week in your paper instructions in the ancient history of the "Hamite people." Go back to Ham and claim everything you can for our race and not let the whites clothes themselves in all the glory of that past splendor. You know that pomp appeals to the masses as nothing else will. Well, there is plenty of other claim it. The whites appropriate all that is grand and good for the "Aryan branch" and simply guess at most of that told us in ancient history, and guess it, all their way, and when they can not do that they fell us, as in the case of Greece, that "nothing is known of their history prior to 4000 B. C." a phrase we use to describe the coming from the sons of Ham. They are constantly making wonderful discoveries in Africa and never for a moment do they try to ascribe any of those wonders to the Africans because it would not fit in with their scheme of things. Do you see what I mean? Do you please take up this work. I will gladly send in any assistance I can. When the old King of Abyssinia said that he was the direct descendant from the famous meeting of the Queen of Sheba and our King Solomon there was not a诉说 in all Europe who could say it was untrue. The other evening we were in Mr. Jark's room trying to see what people can use in some household ornaments in pottery, and just through it, we was untrue. The other people are fairly good initiatives of our African forefathers' cooking utensils, and Mr. Clark quickly acquiesced, but I could, at the same time, see that he had not given their African origin a thought. A white person can claim that he was not a诉说 in some household ornaments, and thinking to please me, I suppose, made a flattering remark about my yeranda. I replied. Yes, I like it because it is a copy of my great, great, great grandfather's in Africa." She said. "Oh, and went her way wondering why it was she had never read of Africans living in anything but karaoke and that the Great Pyramids, Ruins of Karnak and Temples of Egypt were all made by the black hands of our ancestors. For fear of thing you must cease writing but without again bigging you to take up this work. Milky Afro-American children leave school rather than be humiliated in history and geography.

WASHINGTON'S WAY CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY BY THE DOING OF GOOD DEEDS HOUDON'S STATUE OF WASHINGTON Wonderful Memory of Animals NE hundred and seventy-nine years ago on the 22d of February the "Father" of our country first saw the light of day, and 111 years ago on the 11th of last December he saw the land on the land which he had made a free and independent country. 0 Since then the nation each year has marked the date of his birth in various ways, first by holding religious ceremonies, second by attending the land at which the pastors, many of whom had fought under the great commander or had known him in private life, talked feelingly about the big heart and the broad soul of the departed hero; then as the years rolled along and those who knew Washoe gave birth to a new day the day was marked by a fierce fighting of buring and waving of flags and playing of hauds and parading of soldiers. Still later the day was held as a national holiday on which the banks were closed and the schools gave entertainments at which patriotic songs were sung, fiery speeches were given, and the first president recounted in dramatic manner; now the day is still a national holiday, but the schools are closed and churches, charitable organizations, clubs and individuals make the occasion an excuse for giving colonial Washington birthday parties, hatchet supports or revolutionary groups, miniature cherry trees, cocked hats, and cherries, coal, candied and for decorative purposes. All this display and fun and frolic makes the thinker wonder how George Washington kept the day, and the investigator who takes the pain to look into the matter will find that from 1745 to the date of his death, Feb. 14, he would have only to Washington but to his friends and all those who did him service. When Washington was 13 years old he wrote for his own use 110 maxims of civility and good behavior and added one resolution which read: "Resolved, that on the 22nd day of February, the day on which I was given the gift of consciousness, will each year, do some good deed or deeds, his many years of help may improve my gratitude for the Ike given me for a little space." From 1745 until the date of his death Washington never broke the resolution made on his thirteenth birthday. On this first anniversary of which there is any record he trumped fourteen miles, seven there and seven home again, to the house of an aged woman who had been laid to him during a war, carrying large package of provisions and remaining for several hours to stack her woodpile and build her fire. Later in the day he drove two cows nearly two miles to the farm from which they had escaped and, finding the farmer laid up with rheumatism, set to work to mend the pasture fence, and so keep the cows at home. He returned at night to a good supper and then went to merriment. No doubt young George slept the sleep of the righteous that, night, for his resolution was working splendidly. Several years later he wrote to, a school chum early on the morning of the 22d of February: "This day I enter upon a new epoch—the year stretches before me—for what? Only a day, a week, a month, right to enjoy the glories of life. I shall endeavor to commence my new year clear from debt in this respect." There is no record how the day was marked in 1818, but judging from the tone of the letter his life was fuller by several good deeds. "Some Personal Remembrances of Washington," tells how, on February 22, 1751, he hired some half dozen sleighs, rented a hall, and gave all the young people of Mount Vernon, where he was then visiting his brother, Capt. Lawrence Washington, a fine afternoon sailor, with a big spread to crown the event. To "spreads" were invited not the young blood of Washington's own class, but those less favored, and it is recorded that although they stood about in shyness at first, it did not take George many minutes to set the fun going. It was on the following year that Washington made his only ocean voy- The memory of animals running through generations, is one of the astounding facts of science which it is most difficult to account for.

WASHINGTON AT VALLEY FORGE --- May Dare to Be Shabby age—to the Barbades—and that he enlisted in the Seven Years war. He spent his twenty-second birthday amid warlike scenes at Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburgh, where he commanded a regiment against the French. On the eve of that birthday Washington gave a boastful supper to all the men of his regiment, and gave a good-sized sum of money to one of the men to whom he gave little and little ones when the soldier had left in almost destitute circumstances. There are many lapses of the records of Washington's birthdays and how he spent them, but in 1755 he writes to a friend: "I am growing old apace, Alfred (he was only 23 then) and today I turn another year. So far I have been true to my resolution, made when I was 13, and I want you to help me to keep it unbroken this year. 'Ill you be so kind as to give the measure to Welmont Hardy with a willage with my kindest remembrances.' There is no record of what the "inclosure" was, but we are led to believe that it brought comfort to both the sender and recipient. On January 6, 1750, at the age of 27, Washington married Martha Custis, and for the time being all the austerity of the young patriot was sunk in the tenderness of the lover. He marked his birthday that year by distributing gifts lavishly among his shaves and by ordering that a certain poor widow near the Washington escape could be served with two quarts milk for her charge, as long as she lived; the bill of course, to be met by Washington. For a time after his marriage, Washington withdrew from public life and set about cultivating his acres. "It was on the 223 of February, not many years after he had turned beneficiet, that he and Mrs. Washington were sleighing and making unanimously merry in honor of the day. As the hour neared noon, both George and Martha discovered that they were "monstrous hungry," and that they were miles away from inn or tavern. "Pulling up in the morning," George made bold to ask the little lady appeared at the door in answer to his rapping, for a "blit and sun" to stay their mongs. The stranger proved hospitable, and after showing them the way to a tiny barn, where there, was feed for the horse, she spread the cloth in the kitchen and invited her guests to parade of her simple fare. Carelessness in Clothes Gives Impression That Wearer is Wealthy, Says Woman Who Knows. "There are two ways of impressing people," said a woman who had knocked about the world a good deal. "You can be very smart or you can be directly shabby. For a woman of small means I recommend the second way, and I can speak with some authority, since I have followed my theory for a long time. "Before I adopted It myself I watched it in operation. I know an old lady of some means, but not rich, who lived in a good hotel. Everybody received more or less consideration, even the old lady was the mogul of the place. "She paid no more for her rooms than the others, and she spent less in the dining room, and I was at a less to account for the fact that she commanded instant and implicit obedience, even in the most exacting requests, until one day, when the hotel clerk, having seen me in conversation with her, said casually: his fathers and he will go about the duties of his kind as if he had been schooled in them. Recently it was found that some beavers were living in their villages near Avlignon on the Rhone. For at least 40 years they were known to live in the hills, so for 30 generations they had burrowed in the banks, and built mud walls about their lodgings with their tails. A Polish count became later- She has been cutting carpet rags when interrupted by her unexpected guests, and Washington, had soon drawn from her the foot that she and her husband, who was then off in the village with the horse, delivering some strips of floor covering, kept the wolf from the door by sewing carpet rags to her. The young aristocrat whispered a few words to his lady and she laughingly nodded consent. Washington then snatched a huge apron which he saw hanging on the door, and, by tying around the laughing Martha, handed her a pair of scissors and told her to commence. "He left the heliptight over hawed booties, to get him a pair of shears, and so the three were cutting and sowing carpet rags right merrily. The pair remained at the cottage until dusk, leaving behind them a great baskful of gay carpet halls and a substantial evidence of well wishes. As the Washington drove away home, George expressed himself well pleased in which he had spent his birthday. Just one more record we have of how the general kept the resolution made on his thirteenth birthday. It was in the year 1778, while at Valley Forge, that Washington marked February 22 with a deed of kindness which indeed made one man grateful. "I gifted to life for a little space." A young sentry was sent to him under the charge of having been found asleep at his post. He was scarcely more than a boy, ill-end and half-starved, and even though he was badly frightened his eyelids were heavy with sleep. The great general questioned him kindly, found that he had given his wife a sick dog and warded and received a sick man of sentry duty. Instead of regimenting the boy, Washington spread a blanket, told him to lie down and get an hour's sleep. When he awoke it was past noon, and the general had laid the table. He was ordered to partake of the "birthday" feast of cheese, some stale bread and good hot coffee, or what passed for that beverage. The boy was sent to the hospital with a boy was sent to the hospital with a boy, and he never saw battle after there. Although this is the last record that can be found of how Washington kept his birthday, undoubtedly later anilis versariates were marked by deeds of kindness equal to those of his early years. clothes if I, felt I could afford them, at least I would have liked them once, but now that I find the consideration bestowed on my eccentric shabbiness I am not sure that the change would not be for the worse. "I have the best table in the dining room. The other day some people who must spend twice as much as I do had a table near me, and annoyed me by their talking and laughing. I complained, and their table was changed. "If they should object they would have to leave, for the management is not going to offend a woman of millions like myself. I was thinking of getting a new bonnet year, but as it might lower my social position I shall probably continue to wear the one I bought eight years ago. This is a scheme that works in any number, and personally it cannot afford to dress as well as most of the women I know, so I make a point of dressing less well even than I can afford.

Immediately the beavers established themselves by a stream, cut their trees and built their villages as their fathers had not been able to do for three whole centuries. Our Golden Moments "To every man there comes a golden moment." "But trouble is that few of us are able when our golden moments come to corper them." IN TRAGEDY OF GOLD Death and Mystery Watch Over the Sharon Millions. So Far There Have Been Four Murders. Three Suicides and Two Disappearances in the California Case. San Francisco—Frederick Fermor, Hesketh, heutenant Ninth Lancers, British army, on seven days' leave, stood on the pler, at Queenstown, Ireland. The next day he was lost to the world. Thus another tragedy-linked with the name of Sharon, or, as they phrase it on the Pacific coast, with the long-dead argonaut's money-bags. Stretching wide the list there are disbosed four murders, three suicides and two disappearances. Lieutenant Hesketh, in the latter classification, was Sharon's grandson. William Sharon was one of the Gold Hills pioneers. He stepped out of owlhide boots into patient leathers from a mountain shack to military mansion, from the front to the back and behind them in Nevada. He became a senator from that state. The wealth he left Leblund made a pyramid of millions, and likewise a pyramid of trouble. William C. Ralston, who often had shared the output of his battered coffee pot with Sharon in his roughshod days, started the list. When the financial plinth caught Sharon's bank and handed San Francisco didn't know whether he had indifferent, Ralston accused Sharon, and then took his own life. Ralston's son, Samuel, went to Siberia, where he believed there was another El Dorado. He failed to find it, returned and killed himself. Two of his friends were murdered, another of them was killed. Getting back to Sharon, the Fortyniner. Some time after the death of Mrs. Sharon Senator Sharon was sued by a woman known as Sarah Alhinea Hill. She entered the contest for Sharon's money with envy and goad. Her counsel was David S. Terry. She was accused of the california supreme court, and had served just long enough to become Licut. Fermor-Hesketh. familiar with the Judicial routine when he and Senator David C. Broderick, entertaining conflicting opinions, adopted the half-trigger method of settlement at the prescribed fifteen prices. Broderick waited for the second. Terry split it and fired. Broderick fell dead. Terry pleaded the cause of his robust client before Justice Stephen J. Field, Sharon died, but Sarah Althea Hill's life lived on. Terry one day surprised his friends by marrying his client. Justice Field ordered the cancellation of the marriage contract on the ground of forgery. Justice Field stepped off a train. Terry and his wife coincidentally stepped from a train at the same time. Terry stepped behind behind Field and slapped his face with the back of the hand. A marshal shot Terry dead. Charles Livingston, who was a protege of women's, became manager of the Palace hotel in San Francisco. Livingston had boarded at one time with a certain Sarah Mitchell, when the fight to get at the Sharon millions was at its height. Miss Mitchell ephep to the front with a package of mysterious letters. She demanded $5,000 for them, but she didn't get it. There was talk of a conspiracy. Livingston's name was mentioned unpleasantly in the book of the mortal marmor, which was found dead in his apartment at the Palace hotel with a plaster 'shot in his heart. Sharon's two daughters grew to womanhood surrounded by luxury. One daughter fell in love with Senator Newlands of Nevada and became Sharon's wife. The second Sharon, was married to Sir Thomas George Fermor-Ilesketh, Lady Ilesketh had two sons, both soldiers. The lieutenant of Lancers who disappeared was the younger. The Palace hotel and hundreds of other property were buried in the fire which followed the earthquake on the Pacific coast. Violin With Keys Paterson, N. J.—A violin which can be played with keys, as a piano is played, is the novel invention of James L. Warner, of Rescue Park. Many inventors are said to have strive on for what Warner alone has achieved. It is built like an upright piano. The keys and the sounding board are the same as the familiar parlor instrument. The violin effect is produced by a piece of treadle rubber bowls, for each string, or opera bowls, for a hand which is set in motion by a treadle. As each key is pressed it brings the repulsive bow in contact with the key wire and produces sound until released. Snake But Once In Fifty Ye English, Ind.—Innease for the last fifty years and not having spoken a word during that time, Philip Burkhard of this place is dead at the age of ninety years. During the Civil war he lost his mind. He became superstitious on the subject of witches and kept a gun loaded with needles to shoot them, as before he broke his long neck, and predicted that he was to die. He passed away within an hour of the time he named. HELPS ALL TO BUILD HOMES Benevolent "Uncle John" a Money-lender But He's a Hero in His Town. Sabetha, Kan... in this town is a unique character.

French Army Uniform Paris — France, the only great power which has retained the old style of uniform for its troops, has at last decided that the army must adopt a less conspicuous color. 'The change suggested is blue, probably, to experiments recently out at the school of muskery at Chalons. There it was found, as was already well known to every soldier in the world, that the blue coat and red trousers of the French infantrymen were vastly more conspicuous at all distances than a uniform composed of a single color, either gray or blue. The officer made by French officers who were invited foreign maneuvers in recent years and perhaps the adoption of a neutral colored campaigning uniform by the Germans has also borne weight in convincing the French war office that the country must adopt a new dress for its army.

Moundsville, W. Va. - Mrs. Sarah Brandon of Moundsville, whose picture the government placed in the National gallery at Washington, in recognition of the fact that she gave more sons to the Civil war than any other woman of her country, will soon be one hundred and eleven years old. She was the mother of 22 children, all boys but one. Sixteen of the boys served in the war, 11 with the Union and two with the Confederate. Her native state of Ohio also honored her by gluing her likeness on the wall of the State gallery at Columbus. Mrs. Brandon is hate and hearty. She does all her own housework and cultivates a small garden patch in the rear of her home. She smokes a pipe constantly, favoring only the strongest tobacco. Without the pipe, she says she grows nerves and longee. The little house in which she resides snuglies against a hill within a few yards of the city limits of the Ohio River town, and every week Mrs. Brandon can be seen wending her way to the city for supplies for her Sunday dinner. She has but one deformity. A hundred years ago, while playing with her dog, she ran from an arrow from his miniature bow to her, the dart piercing her right eye, destroying the sight. Fifteen of her sons are living. The oldest is Hiram Brandon of Belltown, Ohio, eighty-one years old, who works every day at a hot furnace in a steel and bonus; that he was never sick like his life. His youngest Emanuel Brandon of Mundville, in seventy years old, and dinged coal, he carries scars from bullet and saker wounds received while fighting for the Mrs. Sarah Branden. Union in the Civil war. All the children of Mrs. Brandon became parents of large families, the oldest and youngest each having nine children. Before her marriage Mrs. Brandon was Miss Sarah Harker. She was born in Helmert county, Ohio, her father being a pioneer of that section. She can recall events during the war, including her father and neighbors participated in scouting roving and unsettled bands of Indians. At the age of fifteen she was married to Ebenezer Brandon, being his second wife. WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE Perhaps the Largest in the Whole World is Located in Southwestern Utah. Salt Lake City, Utah—The largest natural bridge in America, if not, indeed, in the whole world, is the George Natural Bridge in southwestern Utah, not far from the state boundary line. Its total length between the huge natural abutments is about 35 feet wide of the "roadway" is some 35 feet wide span in the clear is about 90 feet From the bed up the span is 100 feet At the bottom flows a small water course. Just what produced this work of nature has for some time puzzled the leading scientists of the country. It could scarcely have been created by the wear of the water, chills there was and swift current where it was moving. The general explanation is now canic action at some distant period of the world's history, the active agency. The existence of the bridge is of comparatively recent knowledge to the public, though the. In his often en plein air of it to the early settlers of the country, his presence, however, was given to their presence until about 18 or 12 years ago when discovered by some mining prospectors. It is located in the heart of a very rugged region that is difficult of access. The span is comprised of dark sandstone of an unusually hard quality, and is 29 feet or more in thickness. Engineers she have made a careful examination of this bridge pronounce it perfectly safe. The Old and the New Omaha. Nob. Observed of all observers recently were two Indian women from the Winnebago reservation, 60 miles north of Omaha, who had come to the city. One woman a skimmer and market worker, a shawl over her neck and had wrapped in a basket on her back. The other Indian woman, about the same age, were a high肩膀 footlift gown, a realskin jacket costing not less than $500, a chanteleur hat and in a percussionist wheeled a baby.
