TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 30. For Velveteen WHEN MAKING A VALANCE DESIGNED FOR THE NURSERY The first design bakeden is a simple coat and skirt in nut-brown velvetteen, very useful and very smart; the skirt is quite plain and a good walking length; the coat has a deep collar cut off square in front; the fastening is formed by tabs in which buttonholes are worked, and bone buttons. Velvetten tque trimmed with two ostrich tips. Materials required: 12 yards. 24 inches wide, 5 yards silk for lining coat, 4 yards saten for skirt. In the second picture we show a plain long coat in black. Our model is lined throughout with pale blue cashmere satin. This style is also suitable to be copied in seal plush, which Difficulties Not at All Insurmountable if They Are Properly Approached. The main difficulty in making a valance is to keep it in place without putting tacks into the furniture or having it on narrow strips that pull out from under the mattress. One woman has hit upon a plan of having heavy unbleached sheeting cut just the size of the bed, or a little within the line of the sides. The sheeting is shrunk before being used. The valance is sewed to it on each side and across the end. The cover is then spread over the springs and under the mattress, which holds it firmly in place. If the valance is of thin material, that needs frequent washing, it is a good idea to put it into a narrow band, provided with buttonholes at intervals close enough to prevent sagging. Buttons are sewed to the sheeting in places to correspond. Fillet for the hair made of gold cloth sewn with turquoise. The siggrette is white. To Clean Felt Hats First, all the trimming is removed and the felt given a thorough brushing. From a hardware dealer purchase, for a few cents, a sheet of the finest sandpaper made. Out into piece around a convenient-sized block of wood, be sandpapering the hat, being careful always to rub in the direction of the nap. Continue this process, using a new piece of sandpaper when necessary, until the felt begins to take on a new and clean appearance. When the felt becomes clean the uap is slightly dampened and the felt pressed with a moderately hot iron. The Newcast Tea Cosies. Quite the newest tea cosies are fascinating creations heavily embroidered in an open pattern to show off a silk lining of a gay color. That the cosy may fit over any sized teapot, even the most capacious, it has and ends pieces lt in, and these are of plain 10cm, unadorned like the rest, so that here the colored dinges not show through. The seams of the cosy are covered by a handsome white cord, artistically knotted here and there to give a pretty effect. THE GAZETTE is now so much used for long coats. Materials required: 8½ yards velvetteen 72 inches wide, 6 yards lining 44 inches wide. The third costume shown is in laurel leaf green. The skirt has a pane front and back, and at sides is trimmed with a band of burnished gold and green trimming. The coat has a vest of the same trimming; a band of it is taken from each side the frost and raised high in the centre back. Hat of folded satin trimmed with long grey wings. Materials required. 12½ yards 24 inches wide, 4 yards trimming, 5½ yards satin for lining coat, 4 yards sateen for skirt lining, 4 buttons. Pretty Things, That Will Properly Set Forth the Apartments of the Little Folke. So many charming things are made for the nursery nowadays that it is a delight for young mothers to set out to furnish the apartment devoted to the little folks. Sets of basin and pitcher in neat enameled stands are decorated with Kate Greenaway figures. Bassinets like large market baskets having stout handles and lined with silk and lace, are very convenient with silk and lace, and very convenient when moving the wee baby from room to room. A stand of enameled wicker has four trays for holding baby's clothes. It is very compact when shut, but when required these may all be opened at the same time by pushing out different ways. Small clothes-trees of white painted wood are copies in miniature of what the grown-ups use. A basket, with compartments to hold six small bowls, is handy when dressing the Infant. The porcelain bowls are marked safety pins, sponge, soap, nipples, etc. Some Uses for Matting Straw matting may be put to many uses besides the conventional one of covering floors. Table covers may be made of the fine, closely woven Japanese matting, hemed at each end. As a finish to the lower part of a wall matting which is not too heavy serves quite as well as burial and is a change from the more usual covering. Settee cushions may be made, or at least covered, with fine, pliable kind of matting, to match the strip on the porch floor. Window shades and awning to keep the sun off, which are tied back or rolled up when not in use, are also practical made of matting. They are hemmed top and bottom and hung upon rings at the top, which in turn are hung on little brass banks screwed into the window frame or porch beam. Bordered Foulards There is nothing smarter and few things more handsome than the new bordered foulards brought in for spring. Many of the most attractive pieces have borders that take up more than twenty inches of the forty-five or forty-six-inch width of the silk. These wide borders usua, have a band of solid color four or five inches of the silk. The rest of the border may be of Persian design in lovely green, blue, rose, lavender, gray or other color scheme, to harmonize with the ground of the rest of the silk. Empire Waist Line. The straight, narrow lines not over- accentuated and the shortened waist line are very pretty in the one-piece trotting frocks of linen, silk, etc., which are being made for southern wear, though the empire waist line must always be handled very carefully in connection with a street frock if it is not to give the frock an air suitable to the boudoir rather than the street. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. SUMMARY OF A WEEK'S EVENTS Latest News' of Interest Boiled Down for the Busy Man. WASHINGTON. The text of a new treaty with Japan, intended to replace that of 1894 and drawn with the special design of eliminating the restrictions upon immigration contained in that treaty, was laid before the senate by President Taft. Overcome by his emotions, and weakened by the illness with which he was stricken during the last session of congress, Senator Tillman sank sobbing into his seat shortly after beginning a speech in the United States senate in eulogy of the late Senators Alexander S. Clay of Georgia and Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa. Failure of the Canadian reciprocity agreement to pass the senate will force President Taft to call an extra session of congress, as the administration is determined to press the agreement. This declaration was made by Senator Smoot of Utah after a conference with the president at the White House over pending legislation. Senators Lodge and Root were present also. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the senate finance committee, and one-of-the framers of the present tariff law, has sent a letter from Georgia, where he is seeking to regain his health, to President Taft, stating that he is in agreement confirming the reciprocal agreement between Canada and the United States. The east-bound Southern Pacific China and Japan fast mall was derailed near Palisade, New, and fifteen persons were injured. It is supposed the wreck was caused by the engine and mall car breaking a rail. A tablet marking the place where one of the most sanguinary engagements of the Revolutionary war was fought was unveiled at Savannah, Ga., February 22. The tablet is at the point of Spring Hill redoubt, around which American and British soldiers battled October 9, 1779. Two of the most powerful battleships ever conceived in the mind, of man will be added to the United States navy. The naval appropriation bill as agreed to provides for the construction of the two battleships, two fleet colliers, eight torpedo-boat destroyers and four submarine torpedo-boats. Charles F. Walsh of San Diego, Cal., took his wife and two children for an outing in his new Curtiss type airplane at Dominguez field. The machine landed half a mile from the starting place without a jar. George B. Cox, banker and politician of Cincinnati, was charged with perjury in an indictment returned by the Hamilton county grand jury. The charge is made as a result of a comparison of the records of the 1906 grand jury with testimony given by John H. Gibson, former county treasurer. Ap explosion in the purifying plant of the Laclede Gas Light company at St. Louis injured nine workmen. The walls of the buildings were blown down. Mrs. Agnes Orner was placed under arrest at El Paso, Tex., following her return from the funeral of her little daughter. A considerable quantity of arsenic was found in the child's stom- . . . The Pacific steamship Banilo Juarez, which has been plying between Mazatlan, Lower California, and Inglaterra, steamed into the bay at the former port a veritable mass of flame and smoke. One hundred and twelve passengers on board jumped into the shallow water of the bay and saved their lives, but lost all their baggage and other effects: Governor Carroll vetoed the Oregon plan which the Iowa legislature passed recently. He hailed he regarded the plan as a violation of the constitution. The Democrats, who voted for the bill in a body, will make every effort to pass it over the veto. Mrs. Florence G. Rawn, widow of Ira G. Rawn, former president of the Monon system and vice president of the Illinois Central railroad, has brought suit at Chicago for $175,000 against nine insurance companies having policies on her husband's life. Lieutenant Groff has exhibited at Vienna university a new photograph apparatus which photograph objects at great distances, but which at the same time indicates the distance of the object from the camera by means of parallel lines on the plate. "Millions of pounds of butter and 60,000 cases of eggs in cold storage which are usually consumed before this time of the year are still unsold." That was the statement made by Herbert A. Emerson, president of the United States Packing company of Chicago, who will testify before the subcommittee of the state senate committee on live stock and dairy ing. The convention of the Presbyterian Brotherhood of America opened in St. Louis with a very large attendance. The torpedo boat destroyer Monghan, named for the heroic ensign who was killed in Samoa, was launched at Newport News, Va. Theodore Roosevelt visited Chicago to speak before the Harvard club and to deliver the ordinance at the Union League club's celebration of Washington's birthday. The Supreme court of the United States in interpreting the Heppburn rate law of 1906, declared that only money and no advertising can be accepted by interstate railroads in payment for transportation. It is given out by friends of Lina Cavalier, that the singer has succeeded in obtaining a financial settlement from her husband, Robert Wintroph Chanler, and that court proceedings have been dropped. Doctor Oswald of the staff of the Glasgow Insane asylum, makes the announcement of an important discovery which promises a certain cure for mental disease. The substance was perfected by research experiments in Germany and Glasgow and when injected into the blood of insane persons it renders them immune from further attack. PERSONAL Charles D. Norton, secretary to President Taft, will be vice-president of the First National bank of New York upon his retirement from the office he now holds. It is understood the position has been offered to him and he has accepted it. Mrs. Arthur Novin, wife of the American, composer, has been appointed a bacteriologist at the Pasteur institute in Paris. Prof. T. N. Carver, the Harvard economist and sociologist, in a statement published opposes the recent argument for large families made by President Emeritus Charles W. Ellot of Harvard. Martin W. Littleton, newly elected Democratic representative from Theodore Roosevelt's home district, announces his candidacy for the United States senate from New York, to succeed Chanuncy M. Depew. Mrs. Ellen Colaf, widow of former Vice-President Schuyler Colaf, who is critically ill at her home in South Bend, Ind., is gradually falling. She is seventy-five years old and is suffering from general debility. Charles M. Schwan returned to New York on the Mauretania from his mid-winter vacation in Europe a more pronounced optimist as to the worldwide business outlook for the year than he was when he left New York three months ago. Mrs. Medill McCormick of Chicago, daughter of the late Senator Mark Hanna, will establish in Washington a home where working women and girls can find comfortable lodgings at a minimum charge. Bill Lang, who once held the heavy, weight championship of Australia, was no match for Sam Langford, the American colored pugilist, in a scheduled twenty-round bout at London. Langford won in the sixth round, when Lang was disqualified, but the contest could not have gone much longer, as Lang was almost out when he committed the foul. FOREIGN. The government bill to abolish the veto power of the British house of lords was introduced in the house of commons by Premier Asquith. No one professes to see the outcome of the constitutional battle. The liberals are keeping their intentions to themselves. The pope has resumed his audiences, having fully recovered from the recent attack of influenza. In a review of the crisis in Mexico made at Paris, Jose José Limantour, minister of finance in the cabinet of President Diaz, declared that the only basis for peace was that the insurgents lay down their arms pending negotiations with the government, which on its part, should grant a reform of the evils that made the revolution possible. The relations between the Portuguese government and the navy have reached almost the breaking point again, as a result of a demand by the navy for the relinquishment to the command of the battlefield Altrante Rels of Capt. Jose Correjo, one of the naval heroes of the revolution. The viceroy of Manchuria estimates that the fatalities in Manchuria from the baltic plague already have reached 65,000, and the foreign officer believes that inside the great wall there have been 1,000 more deaths. UNCLE SAM'S PURE FOOD EXPERT AND HIS FIANCEE DR. WILEY MISS KELTON PHOTO BY CLEARSON DR. HARVEY W. WILEY, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, has been the subject of much good-natured joking ever since the announcement of his engagement to Miss Anna C. Kelton. At the same time, the government's pure food expert is being warmly congratulated, for Miss Kelton, who is a resident of Washington, is most highly esteemed by her numerous friends. The wedding will take place in the near future. GRAVITY IS A PUSH Ohio Physicist Gives Old Newton Theory a Jolt. Assumes Ether to Be Endowed With Vast Kinetic Energy Relative to Atoms—Dr. Brush Explains His Idea of Gravitation. St. Paul, Minn.—The Newtonian theory of gravitation that has stood for ages was upset when Dr. Charles F. Brush, Cleveland, O. one of the leading physicists of the country, ascribed the falling propensities of matter to a "pushing" property within itself derived from the ether through which it falls, rather than to a "pulling" power from the earth on the falling body. Doctor Brush established the converse theory that the energy exhibited in the gravitation is fully restored to the ether when the body is raised against/ the gravitation attraction. Doctor Brush assumes the ether to be endowed with a vast intrinsic kinetic energy, which is in wave form and is translated to the atoms or molecules. In his paper on the "Kinetic Theory of Gravitation," read before the physics section of the scientists' convention, Doctor Brush, after disclosing at length the origin of the energy acquired by a falling body, concludes that the gathered energy comes from the ether through which the body, falls, "Conversely," said Doctor Brush, "equivalent energy is restored to the ether when the body is raised against gravitation attraction. "The ether is assumed to be endowed with vast intrinsic kinetic energy in wave form. The waves are of such low frequency, or otherwise of such character, that they pass through the bodies without obstruction other than that concerned in gravitation. They are propagated in straight lines in every conceivable direction, so that the wave energy is isotropic, being in this respect like radiation in the interior space of a furnace with uniformly heated walls. Distribution of the ether's intrinsic energy is uniform throughout the universe as modified by the presence of matter. Any kind of ether waves capable of exerting motive action on the atoms or molecules of matter will fill the requirements. "Atoms are imagined to be continually buffeted in all directions by the ether waves in paths almost infinitesimally short, but without collision because neighboring atoms follow very nearly paralleled paths. The moving atoms are likened to particles of a precipitate suspended in turbulent water. "Each atom or molecule is regarded as a center of activity, due to its kinetic energy of translation derived directly from the ether. There is continual absorption and restitution of the ether's energy, normally equal in amount. But the ether is permanently wobbed of as much of its energy as it represented by the mean kinetic energy of the atom. This energy deficiency in the ether is not wholly local, but extends indefinitely into space, diminishing in strength as the square of the distance increases. "A body of matter is pictured as casting in effect a spherical energy shadow consisting on the sum of the shadows of its constituent cells, the depth or intensity of the shadow varying with the inverse square of the distance from the center of the body. Another body at any given point is a given shape and the two shadows cast by each body being totally obliterated by the other wave causing from that direction the expansion of the shedding effect. --- depending directly on the mass of the shielding body. "Of the several components into which the composite motion of each atom can be resolved, that one lying in the direction of an attracting body will be the greatest because the waves from that direction being partially intercepted by the attracting body, are weakest, and the atom will be pushed in that direction by the superior waves behind it. If free to fall, the atom will continually absorb more energy from the stronger waves behind it than it restores to the weaker waves in front, and will thus acquire additional kinetic energy of translation in the line of fall, used directly by the attracting body involved, e. e. by the distance moved. Conversely, if the atom be forced from the attracting body restitution of energy will exceed absorption, and the energy expended in moving the atom against attraction will be transferred to the other. "It will be seen that gravitation is a push toward the attracting body and not a pull. It is clear, also, that the velocity which a falling body can acquire tends asymptotically to a limit, which is the velocity of the other waves which push; the velocity of light. If transverse waves are involved." Pittsburg Begins Odd Municipal Experiment in Training Boys for Better Citizenship. Pittsburg, Pa.—An old municipal experiment in training for better citizenship has begun in this county with the goal of acres of farm land, on which 500 boys, all wards of the Juvenile court, shall be taught close to nature, to become good men. A committee of prominent citizens, led by David B. Oliver, formerly controller of public schools of the city and a brother of Senator George T. Oliver, originated the idea, and aided by the county commissioners, is carrying it out. Mr. Oliver, who is one of the wealthiest men in Pittsburg, has found that frequently the "bad boys" make the best men, and he is giving his time and money to the project, which really marks a new step in the care of Juvenile court children. The only noteworthy institution like it is an industry. N. Y., but that is a state institution. On the land, which is thirty miles from Pittsburg, will be built cottages which will accommodate twenty boys. A head farmer will look after the youngsters. The present plan for the home is to build a central colony of five cottages around machine, carpenter and blacksmith shops, where boys who want to learn trades will be grouped. Removed, however, from this central group will be fifteen other cottages. They will be occupied by boys who want to be farmers. It is not the intention to segregate the boys, but to keep them apart as much as possible. Half of each day will be devoted to school and half to work. Of course, a time will be set aside for playing. To still further enjoy on the family idea there will be a number of school buildings constructed at different places on the farm. Each of the school buildings will accommodate a school building. It will be so arranged that children from probably four cottages will go to each school. Thus the form will correspond to a community and the school largely to nursery schools. "Sport" Continues to Amuse People of Southern France, Despite Efforts of Officials. Paris.—The extent to which the practice or "sport" of "bull-fighting still exists in the south of France, despite all the efforts of the authorities to stamp it out, is little known by the rest of the world. A meeting was recently held at Beziers of those interested in the spectacles and a protest drawn up against the bill of the minister of justice which provides for the punishment by fine and imprisonment of those connected with bull-fighting. It was developed at this meeting that there are 27 associations for the promotion of bull-fighting in the south of France, with a total membership of 24,000. According to the protest the bill would interfere with the favorite pastime of these and many more people, would be a check to the liberties of the south and would be against the interests of the country. Nevertheless there is an excellent chance of the bill becoming law. "News Girl" 70 Years Old. New York—Anna Eliza Beach, who is said to be the oldest "newsgirl" in the United States, finished her fifteenth year as a 70-year old, lives in Caldwell, N.J. She covers a route of eight miles, serving 100 customers with the local paper. It is the purpose of the commission to keep from the home any semblance of a reform school or prison, so that the children who leave can go out into the world without any handicap of any kind in the form of a past to live down. The only gully in the nearly one thousand acres will be dammed up and there in the summer time the children will be taken from Brush Creek. The swimming hole will be shaded by trees on the slopes leading to it and no sulphur from mines will mar its clearur. Anonymous Letter Received by Aged. Man Containing $500 for Team Stolen in 1865. Lancaster, Pa.—An unusual occurrance took place at Washington borough when Rev. H. D. Boughter, pastor of the Church of H. D. Boughter, handed at his rectory a letter by a man and told to hand it some time during the day to Urlah Douglas, now nearly eighty years old, and a retired resident. Rev. Mr. Boughter went to Mr. Douglas's home and the letter was opened. To their surprise it contained five new $100 bills. A note on the inside said the sender had done Mr. Douglas a wrong forty-five years, and here, was money enough to pay for it with interest, and that he would hear from him in a few days. Mr. Douglas recalls that in 1865 a team had been stolen from him, and from which nothing had ever been heard, and it is believed this is the man who handed over the letter. He had purchased the team with bounty money received from the government after the close of the war, and while at the picnic at HIllgate the team was stolen and nothing but the lines left. The supposition is that the man who handed the letter to Rev. Mr. Boughter is a wealthy ranch owner of the west, as several young men about that time went west and have made good. Mr. Douglas is an invalid and can use the money.

Gov. Glasscock of West Virginia, assured a delegation of Afro-Americans of that state who called on him last week that while our people of West Virginia need expect no special favors at his hands, they can depend upon him for "a square deal" in common with all other citizens of that state. Good! That is all we ask, anywhere. It is seldom given, however. BORAVIC #GRANDSTAND BORAH'S "GRANDSTATE" During the Roosevelt administration, Secretary of State Elia Eikro made a speech that showed so much of a leaning toward the South and such little sympathy for our struggle for U.S. civil rights under the U.S. constitution, that we certainly never expected him to take the advanced stand he has, recently, in a speech on the Borah resolution providing for the amending of the U.S. constitution so as to permit the popular election of U.S. senators, with the various states (instead of congress) controlling the elections. Senator Root is one of the strongest men in American public life today, and is a "power" on any question or contest, in or out of Congress or the courts. He and Senator Curtis certainly "let the light in" on that resolution and opened the eyes of the whole country to the fact that "spineless" Republicans of the north, by Senator Borah and others of his kind, colleagues, were about to turn over to the South, with the aid of his resolution, the control also of all federal elections held in that section of Southern Afro-Americans, without even the present formality of placing upon the statutes of various states, the same laws that any day in the dim, misty future be declared null and void by the U.S. Supreme Court. Senator Borah's "grand-stand play." In his speech last week, is made very plain in his ambiguous statements, one of which is that "the northern states have exhibited the same race prejudice that has been shown in the Southland." Some one ought to impress the Senator with the fact that his statement, quoted above, like others he made, is not wholly true either as to the kind or the number of prejudices, or as to the degree. In the north even yet, it is a mild color—prejudice as compared with the much stronger color and race prejudice, and caste of the South. "The same race prejudice" is NOT exhibited in the north and South not in a thousand different ways and things, nor in anything like the same degree. But Mr. Borah of Idaho was "playing to the grandstand," north and South; and "caught" many very many; even some unthinking Negro groes. The senator also contended that as his resolution stands, notwithstanding it gives the State legislators control of the demoralist elections. Congress still would have the right to interfere in protection of any citizen whose right of franchise had been interfered with. He also declared that if Congress had power under the existing provision of the Constitution giving Congressional control over Senatorial elections it should be exercised. "If that right exists the North has the greater obligation under it because it makes claim to it. We assert the power, but we admit that we haven't had the moral courage to exercise it," said Senator Borah. For himself he denied the existence of any such power, and said that he resented such a position because of the position in which Congress was placed by it. As a matter of fact, as Senators Root, Curtis and others maintain, and the U. S.' Constitution itself makes clear, Congress HAS the power. This cannot be given to the State legislators and also be retained by Congress. Senator Borah to contrary notwithstanding. An additional fact is that our Government since the days of General or rather President Grant, and Reconstruction, has not had the moral courage to use that power, or even to have the U. S. Supreme Court pass upon the unconstitutional disfranchisement laws of various southern states. It is this lack of moral courage upon the part of the North which has held the reigns of Government ever since the War of the Rebellion, President Cleveland's two terms, eight years, excepted, only, that has produced the "splicess" and apologetic (to the South) Republican party of recent years, of which President Taft and Senator Borah are the two most conspicuous representatives today; the former the leader, The Borah resolution should be killed, and our people, in every northern state, at least, should write their U.S. Benators urging them to vote against the dangerous and really our --- FIRST Y.

The state of 45 to 29 the West Virginia House of Delegates defeated the "jincrow" car bill, while in the Senate the same bill was reported without recommendation. All the Republicans opposed the measure in the House, and half the Democrats were against it. Bishop B. F. Lee and the A. M.

C., and $20,000 for missions and to maintain Smith University, Columbia, Smith, and his A. M. E. ministers in Georgia, raised $29,000 for education and as much more for missions, etc. In the Senate, some of the items for colored school buildings and grounds, which had been stricken from the school house, were restored. These were: Normal school, $75,000; addition to Deanwood school, $16,000; site for Manual Training School, 12th division $34,000; site for new M Street High School, $20,000—Washington (D. C.

Ever since he was arrested in Baltimore a year or so ago for knocking down a Negro waiter who got fresh with him in a dining car. Stone has been so strong politically in the "show-me" state that it is now the only Negro defeated — Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer (not the St. Louis, Mo., Republic.) Too long has the constitution been ignored and violated and too long has the Negro been imposed upon, but whichever a Negro spoke out against such things a band of infidelistically howled him down by calling him a whiner. Of all contemptible and worthless trash in the Negro race, this set of howling cringers is the most abominable. * * * * * There is not a U. S. Senator from the South that has any right to be involved in the constitution is to be observed. The South knows this and so does the nation. Many representatives of the South in the lower house of Congress are there by reason of open and willful violation of the laws of the land. Every man of the race is a man of the law in cities where crooks and thieves abound should have some defensive and offensive weapon for the protection of his home. To be unprepared for such emergencies, is criminal: * * * * * The education of the Negro should be as much as possible if similar to the needs of every other race—Rochester (N. Y.) Seminol. Professor Du Bois is credited with saying that race-feeling is tremendously greater than it was ten years ago, and that it makes the statement. The cause is directly attributable to the attitude of the so-called Republican leaders at Washington, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who was more than any gentleman who has ever occupied the White house. * * * The trouble with Prof. Du Bois and those of his kind is that he have taken it too far, his own education and, training with the white man's A.

It galls him and his until he is driven to the point of madness. He is denied, too, the money, the necessary amount of cash in order to buy the things he has his talents and aspirations entitle him. Had he all of these he might take up a residence in Europe where he could assume a place among the most favored people of the Old World—Richmond (Va.) Planet. WHITE OFFICIALS INDICTED! Baltimore, Md.—The Federal grand jury returned indictments on Feb. 16, against John E. Stone and John W. Miller, of the Board of Education Supervisors of Charles County, and John M.

If the Colored people of your City want to be ostracized, humiliated, and "Jim-crowed," then let them lay the foundation of all they can do to the Jim-crowed. "Jim-crowed." They will be assisted in the movement by the prejudiced whites who are only too eager to "jim-crow" our people; and if the time should ever come for them to be taken, they will be told: "You wanted a separate institution and we assisted you to gratify your desire. Therefore you should not complain of more separation." It is not that you want to separate schools and the like. Kill the movement how before it is started. DIRECT VOTE PLAN "JOKER." A Scheme to Disfranchise Northern as Well as Southern Afro- Washington, D. C. Decharring that it is "loaded with a "joker" Senator Curtis of Kansas, addressed the Senate, last week, Monday, in opposition to the amendment to the federal Constitution providing for direct election of C. S. Senators. "I strongly favor the joint resolution to provide for the election of Senators to the Senate, in the will of free-market Senator Curtis," but I do not think it should be burdened with the objectifiable and unfair provisions placed in it by a majority of the committee, and as one of the Senators from the home of old John Brown, the advance agent of liberty, who gave his life to hasten the conflict which resulted in freeing the slaves, cannot support the "rider" or "joker" placed in opposition by a majority of the committee. The colored people are entitled to protection in their rights and Congress should not directly or indirectly say it was willing to let the states take it as a result of the Civil War, to them as a result of the Civil War, to the Senator, "After the war was over, in order to meet new conditions, the Constitution was amended, and the fifteenth amendment declared that the right of citizens of the U. S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the S. U. U. must be made of race, color or previous condition of servitude." This amendment was made to protect the former, slaves who had been freed, and yet we find state after state depriving them of their rights. Of course, there is no word in the acts referring to 'race, color or previous condition of servitude,' yet everyone knows that when a state underkinds to keep a citizen thereof from voting in the election, a voter, the object is to deprive the colored man of his right of franchise. "If the resolution as amended is passed, and the Constitution is amended as provided therein, then the Congress gives up all its rights to make or alter the regulations of a state for the election of S. Senators and if electors are disaffiliated, if outrages are perpetrated, if fraud is committed, or if corrupt practices are resorted to, the Congress refains helpless." Sabbath, and the Poor.

The Lincoln Embroidery club met at Mrs. Goe, Carroll's, E. 74th St. on the 17th, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Mrs. Jane A. Walker, pres.; Mrs. B. M. Shookie, vice; Mrs. Maud Whiting, see; Mrs. J. Chambers, assist.; Mrs. J. Chambers, pres.; Mrs. J. Chambers, pres.; Mrs. J. Gilmere, Mrs. Arthur Abbott and Mrs. Rose Whiting. At the club's second anniversary, recently, its president, Mrs. Walker, in discussing the unfortunate local agitation in favor of a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. said: "As a race we have not had the opportunity to interview, but I pray that the time will come when we will have the same opportunities and stand shoulder to shoulder with every other class or race. How shall this begin? Within ourselves, we stand, too far apart, always. I will not say this is so in all cases, but this is certainly what we do when we try to start this color line Y. M. C. A. Let us not do anything to start such discrimination but do all we can to help keep it down. There is much that this intelligent club of ladies can with me. At a later date, I may have more to say on this subject. Meantime I would like to hear from other members." Mrs. Walker's excellent introduced talk was followed by a general discussion which rounded out my opposition to the establishment of a "jimcrow" or separate Y. M. C. A. in this city: 1. Such a step is a backward movement. 2. It will only tend to bring about other discriminations, such as separate schools, cars, etc. 3. There is absolutely no need for it. 4. It could not and would not be supported, and would only be a disgrace to the community. Furthermore, it would not reach the very element persons advocating such a thing imagine it would help. It would not maintain consistency in fighting discrimination and prejudice, and in the next breath asking for it. 5. That in consideration of the fact that for 40 years we have been fighting to achieve what we have, that it would be unjust to ourselves, our own people, and our majority of our race in the city of Cleveland to sit down, with folded hands and allow the few to undo all the good that has been accomplished. Our sentiment is that this declaration be published, that the public may know what attitude we take on this very important issue. The Lincoln club. MRS. JANE A. WALKER. President.

Plano Concerto, No. 5 in E. Flat A Fair Sport-Writer's Comment on the Two Pugilists and Jim Corbett. The fact that Jim Corbett has picked big Al Kaufman to defeat Jack Johnson does not by any means make the 'defeat of the present champion at the hands of Billy Delaney's protege a certainty. Corbett has seldom picked a winner in a big pugilistic encounter. This does not mean that Kauffman may not become champion of the world some day. He has as good a chance as any of the big fellows at present in the game; Johnson cannot last forever, especially as he has lived at a pretty fast clip since he became champion, not to mention his age. He has been a big boy at present, and the chances are that within a year or two he will have gone back considerably. On the other hand, Kauffman is a young man and a powerful big one, full of energy, speedy, for his size, and a great hitter, besides being game and willing. He is said to be improving right along in his boxing. He can probably whip any of the whitest fighters he has ever seen if he had Johnson were to be matched to battle within the next 60 days the champion would win handily. Jim Corbett's opinion, to the contrary notwithstanding. Johnson is too fast and too skillful a ring general for the California youth. Jack is just as hard a hitter as Kauffman, and he can hit with less force than the man's drives and swings, and in all probability could go along and beat Al without getting any punishment to speak of. Johnson in good condition, and with all his steam and stamina is too good for Kauffman or any other fighter now in the game—Walter C. White (white), in Cleveland Daily Leader. WON CIVIL RIGHTS SUITS.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 25. 1911 THAT ATTUCK'S BANQUET.

Lorain, O., Feb. 15, 1911. Dear Mr. Smith: Mr. Waring and I enjoyed the reading of Mr. Milholland's letter published some weeks ago. I thought you did our foreparents during the troubles times immediately preceding the war when they read or heard tell of those great souls who agitated against slavery because they knew it was wrong. Such words as Mr. Milholland has given out, to the world, are of inestimable value to us. We should honor a man to whom truth is more valuable than words. It is wonderful that God has always produced such an one at the needful moment? The "Appeal to England and Europe," signed by so many of our loyal men, is a great move in the right direction. I often heard the remark in England that "the Negroes in America must have with their lot or they would agitate."

WHITLEY Former Chief United States Secret Service Development of the Argentine Lines T IMES were pretty likely about Washington during President Grant's administration. The great, the near great and the shabby gentile politicians were to be dally met with each had an ane to give him a busy day for adventurers and sharppers. Every device that human ingenuity could invent was in vogue for money making purposes. Men of respectability when at home often turned crooks after sojourning at the nation's capitol for a time. The war had left its demoralizing influence upon many and the opportunities for acquiring wealth were numerous and varied. For a long time before Congress took his seat in the White House, there had been a looseness in the administration of government affairs resulting in organized frauds that would not be tolerated in this day. The Credit Mobilier conspiracy, the whisky ring and many other monumental steals were being carried on in high-up official and private circles. The big fellows set the pace and the smaller crooks loitering about the city felt quite safe in (taking a hand in) the business of the vices resorted to by the lesser fellows were quite ridiculous. I will disinter one of these schemes for the purpose of exhibiting the folly of some of the litters of that day. Shortly after, President Grant's in Augmentation in the spring of 1873 he sent a messenger with a note requesting me to call at once at the White House. On entering his office I found him at his desk. He pointed to a nearby chair and bade me be seated. Reaching into a drawer of his desk he took out two long black cigars, and handing me one of them he left the end of the other in put it between his feet. Straightening back in his chair, the big black cigar was pointed upward at an angle of about forty-five degrees. As the smoke curled lazily above his head I saw that there was something in his manner indicating that his usually placid temper was riled. Pickling up a package of letters from his desk he turned towards me and said: "Here, Colonel, is a matter that needs your careful attention. During the last few days I have been receiving these letters from the other person's investigation at once. The persons engaged in this work must be punished It is an outrage. It is probable that there is more than one person in the scheme." President Grant spoke with great earnestness, and I saw that he was not a little disturbed and that his idea was to let no guilty man escape. The circulars he handed me were printed in letter form and had been sent through the mails to many postmasters throughout the south and west. The circulars read as follows. I give them verbatim. Executive Mansson, Washington. Oct. 12th, 1872. Memorandum of conversation between the president and his secretary. Secretary—I wish to refer this telegram of Senator Morton's to the president. To the President: A conspiracy has been formed to overrun southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and to keep the colored vote from the polls in the southern states by increasing money spent vote in Indiana. Men and money are needed. I send a man to you who has been in their council. O. P. Morton. President—Yes, I have thought that matter all over, and had a long talk with the man the senator sent. What does Mr. Cook say about money? You know that we have none, and that the committee's means are all necessary for the regular business. Secretary—Mr. Cook will furnish you any amount you require. President—Very well, I will take the responsibility. Have Captain C. Sellette taken to go west and south with funds and organizes. The more of a good organization will deter lawless bodies from attempting to defraud the people at the polls. Additional conversation, March 24th. 1873. Secretary—Mr. President, have you determined how you will reimburse Mr. Cook for the money furnished last October? President—Yes, I have. The bishop has suggested Rev. J. Hale Barney to act as secretary in the matter. Appoint him immediately, and as our mails are so large and go to clerks to see them, you will see them. We see them, you will have all letters the subject addressed to. to him. Call upon our friends, and allow no one to contribute over ten dollars, and, to prevent publicity and trouble, direct the remittance to be made by a single ten dollar note.

THE NICE MAN WAS ARRESTED AS HE WAS MAILING A LETTER. HE WAS SEEN TO SLIP INTO THE FRONT ROOM. Confidential Circular No. 10. Executive Mansion, Washington, April 5th, 1873. "The annexed conversations are submitted to the friends of the president in confidence. Our friends can, address Rex Hale Harney, Hale Harney, immediately accuse him of betaball. Any one having conscious convictions against contributing need only silently decline. The president has acted in good faith; and confidently relies upon an active and cheerful assistance. Suppose nothing had been done and the state of affairs existing in Louisiana had more extensively prevailed, what would have been the result? Needless to say, views and act as your judgment dictates, remembering this subject is confidential and known only to three persons besides the president and that whatever is sent should be in currency in the enclosed envelope. With the above circular was also enclosed the following letter for return after being filled out: "Rev. J. Ialo Barney, "Ex-Secretary, Etc. "Washington, D. C. "Sir: Please find enclosed ten dollar in currency, which you can apply M THE DETECTIVE EXAMINED THE LOCK In any way you think necessary for the good of the cause. "Yours, truly." With this letter was an envelope addressed as follows: "Rev. J. Hale Barney, Secretary, Securities Wife." It is scarcely necessary to say that the foregoing circulars had been conceived for the purpose of obtaining contributions from the appointees of the president. The Rev. J. Hale Barney was discovered in the person of one Colonel Pardel, who had recklessly assumed the role of a clerical gentleman for the purpose of moking money. The president was the source of great annoyance to the president, General Babcock and Senator Morton. Although the scheme was a foolish one, it was one of the boldest swindles of a peculiary and political character that ever came up in Washington. It involved no less than three kinds of crime—using the mails for fraudulent purposes, forgery and obtaining under false pretenses. The president was the indignant. It was not alone a reflection upon him personally, but upon his administration. Many of the postmasters in the south and west receiving these circles remitted the amount called for ing. the fiscal year 1909-10 the Great Southern railway opened to traffic 119 miles of new road and derived receipts from traffic amounting to $22,350,000. The Pacific railway—including the marvelous trans-Andean line across the Uspilata pass—earned about $21,000,000 and added 448 to its mileage. The so-called Western railway added 60 miles. The Central railway increased its length 136 miles and its at once. Others were surprised and doubtful as to their genuineness and forwarded them to the president with a letter of inquiry. Taken altogether it was a most remarkable affair it maintained and carried out in a reckless manner. The officers and detectives sent to capture the schemer furnishes a chapter of racy reading. It was discovered that a lady who rented furnished rooms at No. 426 51th street had sometime prior to the discovery of the forgeries received a letter from a man signing himself as a Methodist minister and that he would be absent from the city much of the time attending to the duties of his circuit, but he wanted to hire a lower front room in her house for office purposes and a place to sleep and the delivery of his correspondence. His explanation and subsequent retaliary of the Christian Brotherhood. The lady thought it was a rare opportunity to secure an occupant of distinction. She had great confidence in Methodist ministers as she leaned that way herself, and she answered favorably. In a few days a large trunk was forwarded by express. It had an aperture in its top through which letters could be dropped. There was also forwarded two large cards that were printed by Jake Barney, Executive Secretary of the Christian Brotherhood," one to be bung upon the door, "be other in the window of the room. Money was sent to pay a month's rent in advance. The midname was delighted to rent her rooms to such a nice man. She had always maintained a highly respectable place and intended to keep it so. The trunk was put into one corner of the room hired, and all a increased room was dropped through the hole in the top of the trunk pending the arrival of his reverence. The old lady was wholly unsuspl THE NICE MAN WAS ARRESTED AS HE WAS MAILING A LETTER clous. A Methodist minister was above reproach with her. The back room adjoining the one engaged by the reverend was already occupied by a quiet and unobstructive gentleman who paid his rent regularly and went and came at his pleasure. He, too, was above suspicion. There was also a very nice young man occupying a room upstairs. He was always busy writing and attending to his own business. Many letters postmarked at different towns of the west and south addressed to Rev. J. Hale Barney were being delivered daily. These were put in the trunk." The detective detailed to unearth the fraud rigged himself out in a suit of genteel black clothes and presented himself at 426 Sixth street. Here he was kindly received by the nice old lady. She was polite, but a little suspicious at first. It did not, however, take the smooth-tongued detective long to calm her fears and secure a room. He was not particular about the prince's quiet nature, her house was a quiet place. He was a law student and did not like to be disturbed while engaged in his studies. At the first opportunity the detective slipped into the front room and examined the lock on the trunk with the aperture in its top. It was an ordinary affair and the officer estimated revenue was $22,900,000. The Entre-Rios railways were extended by 333 miles and their gross receipts were about $2,000,000. This makes a total of about 1,100 miles added to the railway mileage, with gross earnings for four of the lines amounting to $68,250,000. In 1909, according to the "Statesman's Year Book," there were 16,606 miles of railways open in the republic, as compared with 15,100 miles in Mexico (in September, 1908) and over 11,000 in Pennsylvania. easily secured a key to fit it. He had several circular printed in face smile of the original to be used as decoys. These were postmarked and given the appearance of having been sent by postmasters in the south. Some of them contained marked money. Excuses were made in others; money would be sent in course of time. Some of these letters were signed, "A Friend of the Cause," "A Sympathizer," "Depend Upon Me," etc. A letter carrier was made use of and the detective was kept posted in regard to the delivery of the letters. When the "nice man" occupying the room back of the parlor was absent the letters contained in the trunk were examined by the detective. A short time after the return the letters were seen to slip into the parlor through the rear door. The detective again examined the trunk. The letters were gone. Shortly afterwards the "nice man" occupying the room back of the parlor was arrested while in the act of dropping letters into the postoffice. These letters were discovered to be circulates addressed to postmasters and others. The "nice man" arrested was searched and the marked money placed in the letters by the detective was found in his pocket. It was now certain that Rev. J. Hale Harney and the individual arrested were one and the same. The silent young man upstairs was suspected and arrested. His room was searched and a large bed was opened to house belongings addressed to postmasters were found. The plot, although silly in its conception, was catechy because of its boldness. The "nice man" caught was a person of considerable prominence. He had served as a colonel of a regiment during the Civil war and was a gallant fighter. The young fellow upstairs was a printer and had done the work on the circulars. Both of the schemers were HE WAS SEEN TO SLIP INTO THE FRONT ROOM. convicted and sentenced to do time in the penitentiary. This was only one of the many bold schemes practised in our capital city by persons maintaining the outward appearance of eminent respectability. (Copyright, 1910, by W. G. Chapman) How to Keep Young. The fact that one has lived 60 or even for 80 years, is no reason why he should be old. When Longfellow was well along in years, he hood as a rose and an amber, but he was a rose, an rose, an admirer asked him one day how it was that he was able to keep so vigorous and to write so beautifully. Pointing to a blossoming apple tree near by the poet replied: "That apple tree is very old, but I never saw prettier blossoms upon it than those which it now bears. The tree grows a little new wood each year, and I see a little new wood each year that those blossoms come. Like the apple tree, I try to grow a little new wood each year." And what Longfellow did we all ought to do. We cannot stop the flight of time; we cannot head off the one event that happeneth to all; but we can keep on "growing new wood" and in that way keep on blossoming until the end.—Magazine of Mysteries. The total area of the republic is 1,135,840 square miles and the estimated population in 1908 was 6,489,023—or 5.7 per square mile. This is an area almost equal to a third of that of the United States, with about one-tenth of the population of this country, while the total railway mileage of the United States in 1908 was 233,678.

Proof to Show That They Practice the Science of Deduction With the Profundity of a Sherlock Holmes. Bentrice, Neb. A peaceful, white-breasted physician of this town has been directly instrumented in the investigation of more than 160 murderers, train robbers and other desperate lawbreakers. Dr. J. B. Fulton has fassed his 78th birthday. Meeting him at the front door of his cottage, where he lives with his deaf sister, it would not be easy for you to believe that his name is the title of a half dozen states. But speak to the old gentleman about his favorite hobby and see his eyes light up with pleasure; persuade him to take you through the bloodhound farm, which takes up almost an acre back of the cottage and contains upwards of 20 skilled man hunters; watch him as he searches for treasure and you will length to understand. Poll, a 5-year-old Cuban bloodhound, and Cheyenne, a 4-year-old English bloodhound, were brought out of their kennels by the trainer. The yistler, who had in his youth watched with awe the great red knight and the small black knight" shows attractive, was first struck with the smallness and apparent docility of the two hounds. "We usually run a Cuban dog in a team with an English, hound," Doctor Fulton remarked. "The two breeds are of about equal ability as far as allowing a scenic view of the dog, but they are more active and energetic on a trail, while the English gambler of the team, if he is well The Dogs and Their Trainer. trained, usually seems able to make finer deductions—he's more logical. "You spoke of the dogs being logical—when is it that they have to make deductions?" Doctor Fulton was asked. "Well, in a case like one that happened out in a Nobraska town a few years ago. I forget the place. A house had been burglarized in a small town, the robber getting away with several hundred dollars, and leaving nothing from which we could give the scent to the hounds. The owner of the house knew all the people who had been in the room from whom he got the scent, the last three dogs, except the robber. We got all those people there, and gave the order to the dog: 'Findhim!' "The Cuban hound immediately picked up a scent that took him to the wife of the owner of the house, who was in the next room. But the English dog went sniffing around, got acquainted with the scents of the people there, then found a trail different from any of them. It led to a negro's house out in the country and the afterward confessed to the erde "There is an old idea that a man can shake off the dogs by walking in running water. About ten years ago two men broke out of the Beatrice jail. They followed the bed of the creek four miles and then confidently went to the creek, and one dog on each side, followed it down until the place where the men came out. Then—this will show you how keen is the scent of the hounds—put them in a buggy and drove along the road. As long as the men we were hunting had taken the dogs, the dogs sat still, the miles, the dogs sat still, Intent and watchful. As soon as we reached the spot where they dived into a cornfield the dogs jumped out of the buggy. They had scented the trail from the bed of the buggy. "A trail becomes hard to follow after about 50 hours have clapped, but after the followed trails much older than that. "We ran a horsehistle who had made away with a fine pair of mares in South Dakota, four years ago, 250 miles before we captured him and the horses. It took nine days to catch him, the two hounds steadily following the scent for that length of time. Then about eight years ago two of my dogs, Joe-Joe and Miss bla, blew up old hills. Wyoming to run down a band of train robbers who had taken $10,000 from a Missouri Pacific train. Joe-Joe got lost out there and was never found. Probably he was, stolen. But 'Miss Columbia' went on and managed to capture two of the robbers." A New Street Danger New York—runaway truck horses have long been a *menace* in city streets, but the big auto trucks provide a much greater danger. One of them got away from the chauffeur in New York the other day. The ponderer vehicle upset and smashed a touring car, broke an electric light pole, narrowly missed several automobiles and created a panic among pedestrians before it smashed into a brick wall and stopped. Indians of the Upper Amazon have developed "wireless telegram-ay" by means of drums made of hollow logs tuned to varying pitches. GREAT MILL WHEEL IN MAINE One of the Largest in the State Hiden den Awais in a pictureque little Dale Gorham, Me.—What is believed to be one of the largest mill wheels in the state of Maine is hidden away in a picturequesto deli, a short distance from the main street in Gorham. The wheel, which has not been in use for a quarter of a century, is in decay. The place of the wheel is known as Fairy Glen. The wheel, which is 25 feet in diameter, and 2½ feet wide on the water surface, was erected in 1866. For 10 years the power supplied by the wheel Old Mill Wheel at Gorham. operated a carpet factory. In 1870 Elder Gammons, a machinist, who was afterward known as a manufacturer of powder mill machinery and tools, came into possession of the property, and bought the death bed used by the old mill for the manufacture of machinery and tools. Gammons' death was accidental. He was working in his shop late one night, and fell through a scuttle in the floor of the neighbors, who went in search of him when he was missed from home. S. E. McClellan, now a resident of Gorham, was one of those who helped build the old mill, more than half a century ago. He made the bolts which have held the wheel together all these years.

But where once he proudly watched the spring wagons and carry-ons, he now looks up oakhure, white the farmers went up and down the street laying in the week's supplies, now he is unnoticed and in the way. Perhaps it is the years of rain and snow made his stubby nose look shorter and apporter turned up in the fog. Likely it is the fumes of the gasoline that he is obliged to smell as the motor cars pass him 35 Forlorn Stone Hitching-Post. by and stop just beyond the spot where he is stationed.
