GOOD USE FOR EXTRA SCARFS May Be Made Into Blouse by Any One at All Clever With the Needle If you have an extra scarf in the Pallisley, Dresden or Parisian design and want to have a blouse to match the scarf which you wish to retain, for scarfs still have wide fashion, the idea of turning the extra one into a blouse is one you can snatch up and put to good use. Scarfs, mufflers and kerchelfs of these silky crepe materials are easily cut up and made into neat and becoming blouses by the home needleworker who takes advantage of the innovation. Almost invariably the middle possesses a figure design, while the border is also composed of figures with a band of white or light color between the two figured portions. Make it a point to use these strips of material for the lower part of the blouse or the inside of the sleeves, and in thus utilizing the plain strip a boiler effect is secured. One must choose for oneself according to the largeness of design whether to set in the figured parts lengthwise or crosswise, the lengthwise effect being assumed generally only when the figure is very large. These with smaller figures can so well be arranged in a series of crosswise bars that it would hardly be becoming in the lengthened effect. These crepe scarf waists are draped under sheer velling, to which they adapt themselves readily without any nerve jarring aspect that attend some of the innovations that are executed in such an off-hand manner. For the Traveler The traveler who is fastidious about the boiling of her eggs should invest in one of the egg-shaped boilers of copper, small enough to pack in a trunk. It will cook four eggs. This lamp is like a huge egg, has an alcohol lamp beneath and a tray with four compartments to hold the eggs erect in the water and make removal easy. For the girl in an apartment who likes to do light housekeeping such a cooker could be utilized for making cup custards and other dishes cooked in water. Survival of the Kimono Slave It is strange how faithful Dame Fashion is to the kimono sleeve, which still appears on the latest models, and we have gone back to the very high waist effect. In most of the new skirts there is a loose pleat at the back, which hangs down to varying lengths, but generally reaches the hem. This has a charming effect, and takes away the extreme severity of the plain, tight skirt. The train which has made its appearance is either cut quite square or is very narrow indeed.

THE TEACHER'S OPPORTUNITY The teacher, and especially the teacher in the negro school, has a great opportunity before her of being of much help to the boys and girls under her immediate care. Her work is more than merely hearing recitations. The formation of character and the development of thought in the child also should be the aim of the teacher. She has opportunity of moulding and shaping sentiment in them for that which is good and strong and pure. She has the opportunity of placing before them such ideals the working towards which will enrich their lives. Not only should she enrich the lives of the boys and girls under her immediate care, but the lives of all who come in touch with her. The community in which she lives should be better and stronger because of her presence. She should at all times be ready to lend a helping hand to every worthy cause that presents itself. So many of the homes of our people lack in the things that will make them bright and beautiful and helpful to the young. Here she has an opportunity to be of much help in giving advice and offering suggestions that will tend to make the home more attractive. Too few of our homes know what kind of literature to give the young. Too often there is nothing there to feed the mind, and the children are left to their own resources to find such literature as they like best. So often the charge is made that education does our young people harm. Here the teacher has an opportunity by her work to show that such charges are not based on facts. The teacher should take the lead, or at least be found in the front ranks of all movements that are for the moral uplift and material well-being of the people in her community. In other words, the teacher should be a leader in all that the term implies. Let not the golden opportunity pass by unheeded. Seize it while it is within your grasp, and thereby make yourself a power for good among those with whom your lot is cast.—Birmingham American. LIBERIA'S NEXT PRESIDENT The next president of Liberia will be Daniel E. Howard, now secretary of the treasury. The vice-president will be Senator S. C. Harmon of Grand Bassa, a port town about half way down the Liberian coast. Judge Dossen, now vice-president, was an active candidate for the nomination, but his name was not presented to the convention. The Liberians elect their president in pretty much the manner that prevails in the United States, but they have only one political party and the nomination is the same as an election. All the doubt and most of the excitement precede the party convention instead of accompanying the actual polling of the votes. Mr. Howard has served for a number of years as the chairman of his party, but he is a very quiet, gentle party boss. He has made a good secretary of the treasury and his experience in financial matters will be much to his advantage in this critical period of Liberia's history. He is American in his sympathies and has the general confidence of his people. The vicepresident to be is pre-eminently a business man. He had never held office prior to his present term as senator and his election in that instance was practically the result of pressure. He is a large and prosperous merchant and agent of the Elder-Dempster Steamship company of Liverpool. Everybody likes him and nobody has ever questioned his integrity. He is a warm friend of everything American. Altogether the new selection augurs well for the negro republic. The new administration will be beset with international difficulties of the gravest character, and it is a matter of serious doubt whether the integrity of Liberia will long remain intact. If anybody in Liberia can preserve the independence of the little state Howard and Harmon are the men—New York Sun. Creamed Carrots Cook young carrots whole in boiling water, or, if old, cut the carrots in slices. Make a cream sauce with one and one-half level tablespoonful of flour, blended with two level tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan set on the fire, add half a teaspoonful of onion juice, a saltspoonful of salt and a few dashes of white pepper. Add a cup of hot cream and stir until it boils. Add the carrots cut in small pieces, heat and serve. Recipe for Apple Snow. Boll six apples until done, press them through a sieve, sweeten to taste and flavor with a teaspoonful of lemon. Froth the whites of six eggs, add two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Beat the apple pulp to a froth and mix with the egg whites and whisk until it looks like snow. Garnish with candied lemon peel and sliced apples and serve very cold. An Effort to Oblige.

PANAMA CANAL AS BRITISH VIEW IT PANAMA CANAL AS BRITISH VIEW IT ENGLISHMAN SCENTS DANGER TO COMMERCE OF THE OLD COUNTRY. DISTANCES TELL THE TALE THEY ARE ELOQUENT OF ADVANTAGES TO AMERICA OVER EUROPE. London, England.—"Piercing the Isthmus—What the Panama Canal Will Mean to Britain" is the title of an article in the London magazine by Hon. Robert P. Porter, which is attracting more than usual attention, both for the interesting matter contained in it and for some philosophical considerations which the author considers of vital interest to the country, in opening, the article says: "When the first ship passes the mighty Gatun dam, and, entering the great locks on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus of Panama, steams along the canal and cut by the Pedro Miguel locks to the Pacific ocean, the culminating point of a period embracing some of the most romantic chapters in history will have been reached; and a titanic work of engineering rivaling those of the Egyptians and earlier races, which have been the wonder of the ages, will be completed." Following this, the author goes briefly over the many projects that have been bronched for building such a canal—for the idea is 400 years old—coming down to the disastrous attempt of De Lesseps and finally to the organization of the new Panama republic and the actual beginning of construction by the United States government, on June 29, 1906. After a description of the progress of the work, for which he has unstinted praise, Mr. Porter sounds a note of warning to his own country. He prints a table of pregnant figures showing how much the United States will gain in trade distances by the canal and how little Great Britain will benefit. Turning from the purely commercial side of the matter, he strongly hints at new political alignments to follow—the possible incorporation of Jamaica with the United States, and, of far more importance, the danger of the whole of Australia being swept into the American orbit through the real or supposed menace of the newly awakened Orient.

DR. LYON'S APPOINTMEN HAS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM THE STATE DEPART- Baltimore, Md.-Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States Minister to Liberia, who recently received an appointment from Liberia as consul general of that government at Washington, has been notified by the state department that he will be provisionally accepted by the United States until the final papers relating there to are exchanged by both governments. He also has been appointed by Liberia as a delegate from that country to the session of the International Union to Prevent the Destroying of Industrial Property, which will meet in Washington week after next.

HAMPTON CELEBRATES FORTY-THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF INSTITUTION IS FITTINGLY CELEBRATED. Hampton, Va.—(Special.)The forty-third anniversary of Hampton institute, an undenominational industrial school founded in 186S by Samuel Chapman Armstrong for the training of race teachers and leaders, was fittingly celebrated by interesting exercises which were held in the large school gymnasium by the senior trade class and the graduating class of the academic department. The trade class program included several band selections, a paper on "The Value of Trade Training," a class history, a baritone solo, a class and trade songs, a trades exhibit, remarks by Hampton guests, and an excellent class president address by Madikane Q. Cele, Zulu prince from Natal, South Africa, who has worked his way through Hampton and become a wheelwright. On a large, wooden revolving platform, divided into six sections, 11 sets of Hampton tradesmen carried on their customary work in full view of the enthusiastic audience of over 1,500. Some 30 out of 53 boys of the senior trade class were actively engaged in shingling a roof, milling on weatherboards, house painting, fitting a coat and using a sewing machine, mending shoes, building a brick arch, applying white plastering, managing a printing press and a turning lathe, making a railroad hand truck and tiring a wheel, installing a bathtub and wiping lead joints, and making a picture frame. Visitors were thus given an opportunity of seeing how thoroughly and how practically Hampton has been training young negroes and Indians for efficient service in mechanical and industrial pursuits. Anniversary Day. The Hampton anniversary was brought to a fitting close with public exercises in the gymnasium. Addresses were made by three members of the senior academic class, two graduates of Hampton and several visitors. The great student chorus, led by Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets and a well-known race leader, sang several negro "spirituals" with "magnificent shadings," to quote the appreciation of Mr. Loudon, minister from The Netherlands. Mr. Ogden presented to the Hampton board of trustees the candidates for certificates and diplomas. Candidates for certificates may be classified as follows: Agriculture, 12; blacksmiths, 3; bricklayers, 10; business, 2; cabinetmasters, 2; carpenters, 9; library methods, 1; machinist, 1; painters, 2; printer, 1; shoemakers, 3; steamfitters, 4; tailors, 6; wheelrights, 5; total, 65. The candidates for special diplomas included three in home economics and one in manual training. Thirty-two girls and twenty-six boys were presented as candidates for academic diplomas. The programme included these addresses: "From the Sea to Hampton," W. H. Lampley, Raeford, N. C.; "Seven Years at Hampton," Grace D. George, Runnymede, Va.; "Industrial Training in the Rural Schools," Mrs. Sarah F. Diggs, 76, Franklin, Va.; "Mahnomen: The Harvesting of the Wild Rice," Mary E. Broker (a Chippewa Indian), Ponsford, Minn.; "Getting and Spreading the Hampton Thought." H. A. Johns, '08, Harrisonburg, Va. Mrs. Charles W. Ide of Brooklyn, N. Y., conceived and proposed the plan of organizing a "Special Hampton Trip in Honor of Robert C. Ogden." For many years Mr. Ogden has brought a large party to see the work of Hampton. This year he has been the guest of honor. Mr. Ogden said to the Hampton students: "You go out as the forty-first battalion in the line of soldiers who are to fight the battle against ignorance and prejudice and against all the evils that tie down the human race." Addresses were made at the trade excerises by Dr. Frissell, Dr. William J. Schieffell, president of the New York Armstrong association; Mr. Ogden, Rev. Charles E. Parks, First Uni-tarian church, Boston, and Dr. Walter H. Page, editor of the World's Work. On anniversary day Mr. Ogden, Lord Eustace Percy of the British embassy, Washington, D. C.; Minister Loudon, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Milton M. Smith, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, New York, and Hon. Job Hedges of New York spoke to the Hampton school. THE PHILOSOPHER It's easy to smile when the sailing is fine; but it is great to be able to grin and bear it when a windstorm threatens. Luck is a verity for some; for others, mischance is the word; and there are a few who trace results from their own actions. It takes a lot more cleverness to make an appearance on little than to make a disappearance with much. Self is the highest Chinese wall we know of. A WINNER. Ambitious Author—Hurray!

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The exclusion of American negroes from Canada under the Canadian immigration law can perhaps be effected without giving the United States government any ground for diplomatic protest, if it is based upon the ground that the negro could not adapt himself to the "rigorous" climate of the north and consequently would be liable to become a public charge. It is a flimsy pretense, of course, that the negro in general cannot be permanently self-supporting in western Canada. It was a negro that went with Peary to the north pole. Negroes here in New England have for generations adapted themselves to severe winter weather. We could not hold any such view. We have our own personal experience of being one of the number of over five hundred who were, as it were, changed by a twinkling under the fiery preaching and fervent praying and enthusiastic singing of devoted followers of Christ and we would not minimize the importance of this method. There is no fact more clearly impressed upon our mind than that evening of our conversation in the old way, after weeks and days at the "mourners' bench." And as we look back over the history of our religious life and the religious life of many whom we have watched we are inclined to place the criticism, not upon But Canada might be strictly within her rights in barring negro immigrants on that ground. The Canadian law provides that the fire governor in council, whenever he deems it necessary or expedient, may "prohibit for a stated period, or permanently, the landing in Canada, or the landing at any specified port in Canada, of immigrants belonging to any race deemed unsuitable to the climate or requirements of Canada, or of immigrants of any specified class, occupation or character." So long as no discriminations were enforced against American immigrants as Americans, but against a particular class on grounds that are universal in their application, it may be that no official complaint by our government could be made. We should advise the leaders of the negro race in this country, however, to demand the protection of our state department and force it to take a definite position regarding the matter, and also to push to the extreme limit in Canadian courts, by means of a test case, a denial of the Canadian government's claim that negroes are incapable of remaining economically self-supporting in the Canadian climate.—Springfield Republic. Seemingly instantaneous, West Indian emancipation was in reality gradual. Colonies which neglected to prepare for it as long as fifty years before were at great disadvantage, so far as racial adjustment was concerned. Insisting on an apprenticeship system in place of immediate emancipation, they reaped their reward in the shape of fierce outbreaks, which came from black men determined to be free indeed or die for liberty. As was said before, this vast social change was foreseen almost fifty years before it occurred and was carefully provided for by men who followed the English custom of undertaking and accomplish constitutional and social reforms ahead of time, and not in a few brief years of violence and civil strife. It was not adopted as a means of political expediency nor from the necessity of war. Hence the basis for "the very kindly relations between the races" in the West Indies stretches far back into the past. The southerner in the United States may view with increasing concern the widening of the chasm between his son and the son of the black man with whom he played in childhood. He knows that where sympathy and affection are wanting and race instinct strong, cruelty and might have become dominant and that these two hurt the oppressor as much as the oppressed. The West Indian white man has no such fear. He has his prejudices; equally strong are those of the black man. For this reason the one race respects the other's prejudices, both feeling that on the broad field of industry, of education, of good citizenship and of manhood there is room enough for both white and black.—The Southern Workman. The awakened interest in the women of the colored race is as general as it is gratifying. Everywhere strong men are giving happy support to the efforts of the women themselves are putting forward in the work of progress. The Durham Reformer makes the following interesting comment: "A race is no better than its women. The progress that colored women are making in morality and feminine attractiveness is truly remarkable. When the history of the race is considered along with the unrestricted assaults, which the law permitted and public epion sanctioned, upon the chastity of our women, one cannot be struck by the wonderful efforts which are being put forth to counteract the ingrained traditions of centuries. At present there are more colored women than men and in the higher walks of life this is markedly noticeable. This difference in the number and social equality of the sexes is another hindrance to the disfavor of the colored woman. There is an added difficulty in that those men who are schoolmen find that it is late in life before the marriage contract can be entered. This is also to the disadvantage of the colored woman. "Every needful step ought to be taken to protect the virtue of our girls and boys and it is possible that early marriages would go far toward eradicating many of the evils which at present burden the moral progress of the women and men alike." There are those who would say that the revival is out of date, and who would minimize its importance as a factor in our religious development. WESTERN BREVET CLEVELAND, D. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. IN DIGNITY OVER SUCCESS OPY FIVE CENTS. CAN CULLINGS We could not hold any such view. We have our own personal experience of being one of the number of over five hundred who were, as it were, changed by a twinkling under the fiery preaching and fervent praying and enthusiastic singing of devoted followers of Christ and we would not minimize the importance of this method. There is no fact more clearly impressed upon our mind than that evening of our conversation in the old way, after weeks and days at the "mourners' bench." And as we look back over the history of our religious life and the religious life of many whom we have watched we are inclined to place the criticism, not upon the revival or the revivalist method, but upon those who fail to take the opportunity which the revivalist has brought to their doors by nurturing the newly converted; by training them in the responsibilities and duties of Christian life.—Christian Recorder. There are three possibilities known as the "yellow peril." One is the swamping of the slow-multiplying, high-wage, white societies with the overflow that is bound to come when China has applied western knowledge to the saving of human life. This is real and imminent, and nothing but a concerted policy of exclusion can avert it. Another is the overmatching of the white peoples by colossal armies of well-armed and well-drilled yellow men who, under the inspiring lead of some Oriental Bonaparte, will first expel the powers from eastern Asia, and later overrun Europe. The third "yellow peril" is the possibility of an industrial conquest of the west by the orient. Contemplating the diligence, sobriety and cleverness of the Chinese, in connection with their immense numbers and their low standard of comfort, some foresee a manufacturing China, turning out great quantities of iron, steel, implements, ships, machinery and textiles at an incredibly low cost, and therewith driving our goods out of neutral markets and obliging our workingmen, after a long disastrous strike with their employers, to take a Chinese wage or starve. Against such a calamity the industrial nations will be able to protect themselves neither by immigration barriers nor by tariff walls.—Professor Edward Alsworth Ross, in Century. Friar Tuck in the Houston Chronicle writes on "Benefiting the Negro." He reviews the remarkable progress of the race and says the Negro only needs a chance. The following is an extract: "Six generations from the jungles to a modern public school is a rapid jump. None but an intensely vigorous race could meet the terrific nerve strain involved and survive. It must be remembered that it has taken the Caucasian a vast stretch of centuries to attain its intellectual plane. The Negro has not done bad during his brief trial. It is said of hira he can only imitate. That he lacks the power of initiativeness and originality, and yet to be original in this age of so many accomplished things calls for nothing short of genius. "The genuine need of the Negro, the vast number who by modern education have fitted themselves for more lucrative work than that of more physical labor, is employment that will carry them into fields of endeavor where their mettle as men may be tested and their mentality afforded an opportunity to attain fruition. Emancipation from selfdom nor will bring him this opportunity—nor will he ever realize it under the white race. He must make and create it for himself. That is what Booker T. Washington and his colleagues are doing for him." The Roanoke Times is exactly right in banning the Negroes to be of good courage, not to lose faith in themselves or their race, and to try to turn the failure of the True Reformers into advantage to themselves. The failure of the True Reformers was a very hard lick, and it is not to be wondered at that it should have discouraged many of the Negroes, and their white friends and sympathizers as well; but, as our Roanoke contemporary says, failures of this sort are not by any means peculiar to institutions of a fiduciary character operated by Negroes. There was the Freedman's bank years ago that was under the management of men supposed to have been trained in the art of finance, and white men at that, and there was a more dishonest concern in the history of the country. Only a few weeks ago the Carnegie Trust company in New York closed its doors and on Wednesday it was reported that the liabilities amounted to $11,500,000, and its assets to only about $1,000,000. That was worse than the True Reformers. High finance is not confined to the colored people.—Richmond Times-Dispatch.

The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Senator J. B. Foraker for a copy of his splendid address delivered at Memorial hall, Columbus, on Decoration day. The Gazette congratulates the Rochester (N.

The Gazette will pass its twenty-ninth "mile post" next month. Congressman Roddenberry of Georgia, like Senator "Gum-shoe Bill" Stone of Missouri, both Democrats, has "immortalized" himself in the minds of the "new and chivalric South" by getting into a brawl recently with an Afro-American who had a lady with him and wished to sit beside her, in a Washington, D. C. street-car. He objected to the man's sitting next to him in room hardly large enough for a single person. Toc bad! "Rhody" did not get the best of the encounter either, judging from the pro-southern Associated Press' report to the daily newspapers, last week. We hope that the next member of the race, so assailed by one of these pugilistically inclined Congressmen from the South, will do "a good job" and put a stop to their pet notoriety-reeking scheme of recent years. Speaking of a Rabbi's refusal to accept special arrangements as to food (Kosher lunch) for Jewish children in Cincinnati's public schools, because, as he well said: "The public schools should be absolutely non-sectarian, and the Jews wish to be neither toodied to nor relegated against. Therefore, I oppose bringing up questions of religious differences even in so harmless a matter as food supply," the Cincinnati Union, a race paper, says pertinently: "The above should furnish a grand object lesson to the many Negroes who are so easily led to advocate the Southern idea of racial segregation in all things. The Jews have sense enough to see that when lines are drawn to differentiate in regard to race or religion, somebody is going to suffer; they do not want to take that chance. Many of our well-meaning (?) white friends are too solicitous in drawing around us lines of segregation, that is ostracism, with the kindly (?) explanation, "we know you colored people are much better satisfied in being together, than in being mixed up with a lot of white people." Right you are, Editor Dabney. We comment this to the prayful consideration of the advocates of separate Y. M. C. A.'s particularly, here in the North, especially Ohio. THE GENIAL PRESIDENT GETS "MAD." (by the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C., June 5.—Col. Joseph Garrard, U. S. A., commanding the cavalry post at Fort Myer, Va., today was reprimanded by the secretary of war, under orders from President Taft, for arriving adversely on the citation of a soldier for the right to take examination for promotion to commissioned grade on the ground of Jewish parentage. The president said it was hard to deal with the subject "with patience and without condemnatory words that had better not be written." This is a fine bit of news, showing what many citizens doubted—that Mr Taft, the perpetual smiler and conciliatory optimist can get "mad" at injustice! His position will be endorsed by every fair-minded American citizen, Jew, Christian or Infidel. The closing remarks have a fine fiery ring to them. But—there is just one thought that throws a darkening cloud over this brightness. Would the President have acted as he did—and with such fine impetuosity at that—if the insult had been offered to an Afro-American? Meanness is meanness, prejudice is prejudice, in either the case against the Jew or the AfroAmerican, and any action that hats at one casts a reflection on the motives of the actor. Mr. Taft might well, very well indeed! get up such wrath, once, in regard to burning Negroes alive and lynch-murder generally. As the matter stands today it looks—we say it timidly but—it looks an if Candidate Taft is playing to the galleries. Will he consistently follow up his fight on prejudice? TAFT WRONG AGAIN. It is clear that President Taft does not understand the prejudice against the Jew in this country, or he would never write that "the statements made by Col. Garrard are not true with reference to the standing that Jews have in this country." Col. Garrard's indemnement, disapproving the effort of an Army Private, a Jew, for promotion to a lieutenancy, characterized Jews as "not desirable social associates." As a matter of PRINCIPLE, Col. Garrard is WRONG; but a matter of fact, EVERY DAY PRACTICE, he is correct in his statement of an existing condition, and the President has only to recall the recent action of the Metropolitan club of Washington, D. C., a swell social organization, (in the face of a somewhat like public protest on his part), when it refused the application for membership of the Hon. Jefferson M. Levy, newly elected Representative in Congress from the Thirteenth district of New York State, to be convinced. Mr. Levy was "turned down" by the club because he is a Jew, and for no other reason. This is undoubtedly wrong and an outrage, but it is nevertheless true. The Jew, as every one knows (except possibly President Taft) with all of his money and business prestige, is barred generally, socially and otherwise, just as is the Afro-American, and in many sections of the country, even more so all things considered. There is a double-headed prejudice against him—a racial and a commercial prejudice—and hatred that is not lessened by the influx of foreigners from abroad where the feeling against the Jewish people is far more acute and vicious than in this country. While we do not approve of this prejudice any more than we do of that against our own people, it is the merest nonsense for President Taft or any one else, sane, to say that it "does not exist in this country." The following from a recent issue of the Boston (Mass.) Daily Post is pertinent: Claims Boston Against Jews. That there is a strong prejudice against the Jewish people in this city, and that in certain districts of Boston a Jew cannot rent or even buy a home, not even if he was educated and born on American soil, were claimed by so many Lyons at the several commercial courts. Order of United Hebrews of America, yesterday at Mihut Hall. He said: "Many of my friends, who like myself were born and bred in Boston, have found it hard to obtain rooms in certain sections of the city. We Jews are not wanted, and why? Have we not given our quota of life and blood for the Stars and Stripes, and not given our quota of life and blood that made for the wonderful progress of this country? You read in today's papers that a man who presides at a peace conference has refused to let Jews into his summer hotel; another Jew, a direct descendant of one who is known in history as the father of the abolishment of flogging on United States battleship ships, was refused admittance to a certain club where bigotry and prejudice prevail." What Mr Lyons claims is true in Boston, as far as the Jew is concerned, is true in every city in this country where there is any considerable population of Jews and Gentiles, and President Taft and every other observing person know it. We certainly wish the President well in the stand he has taken for the Jew, but it is just as well to state the truth. And it might be well also, and for the same political reasons, for him to stop building up color-lines, in the public service and elsewhere, against our people even if he will not come out in so public a manner in our behalf, socially or generally. We have not the money and business influence of the Jew, but we have many thousands more Republican votes in both the North and the South that will be sorely needed in 1912, President Taft is going to find out to his sorrow, we fear. Thank God! we did not make the mistake of voting for him or Bryan an either three years ago. In the face of all that has transpired in the last few years, we are not at all likely to do so, next year. HIGHLY HONORED! The Well-known and Popular P. E. of the Western District, N. O.

Always "Brothers" When Trouble Comes. - Fireman Wm. Gartrell when testifying before the Court of Inquiry into the wreck of the battleship Maine, in the harbor of Havana, before the Spanish-American war, said, among other things: - I made a break as quick as I could up the ladder, and when I got up into the steerage room the ladder there was gone. I couldn't see anything. And I gave up, or started to. There was a Colored fellow with me. I didn't know his name until afterwards. His name was Harris. We got hold of each other. - I said: "Let's give up—there's no hope I started in to say a prayer the best I knew how. Then I heard a voice. It was an officer, because he said: 'There is hope, men.' - "Then I saw a little light. I made for it and it seemed like I could see the heavens overhead. I got jammed in the ladder—my head right up against the deck. I caught hold of Harris, and the two of us hugged to "I don't know whether I got out first or this Colored fellow, but when I did get out and looked where I was and saw the heavens and everything, I tried to say a prayer or something, and I fainted away. Then somebody picked me up and threw me overboard." Unfortunate Praise. "There such a thing as spoiling a person's good looks by praising them" "As how?" "Well. I told Agnes she had a beautiful nose, and she has made herself cross-cyed looking at it." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1911 Our Only Member of the Illinois Legislature—His Second Term. Chicago, Ill.—Hon Edward D. Green has been receiving many hearty congratulations for having secured in the Illinois General Assembly the passage of a condiment to the general appropriation bill and a provision for a new armory for the 5th regiment. The bill had a clean sweep in both A. H. houses, due to the assistance given by Senators Sam Ettleson, Noble Judah and Col. John R. Marshall. A site has been secured at 39th St. and Wabash Ave. It was purchased by subscriptions and entertainments given by the regiment and the Ladies' Auxiliary Corps. The army will be one of the most imposing in the city. Plans and specifications are in the hands of Col Marshall. The army will be ready by fall and will be dedicated by the Governor and his staff and many of facets of the other seven regiments of the army. The father of Illinois' Anti-Lynching law, modeled after Ohio's, and several other excellent laws of special interest and value to our people of Illinois. He has been most active, exceptionally successful and satisfactory. Recently he was tendered a grand banquet by our people here. DOINGS OF THE RACE T. H. Smith of New Berne, N. C. owns 300 homes and is said to be worth $250,000. Clarence C. White the violinist, is to locate in Boston, Mass., and open a studio. Subscribe for The Gazette now and keep in touch with the race news, the country over. A bill to pay the balance due the depositors of the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company, and appropriating $1,291,744 to make the disbursement, was introduced recently by I.U. Senator Curris of Kansas. Whitney (white), of Worcester, Mass., was the individual star of a recent Boston meet, scoring 13 points by getting first in the shot put and the pole vault and second in the hammer throw. He was closely pressed by the second place (the race) of Springfield, Mass. High school, who won both sprints in fast time, and added to his points by corraling third place in the broad jump. He was in fine form and finished yards better than the second man in both century and furlong. In fact he looked so good to those in the national opinion that he would have beaten the Exeter captain had the latter been in the running. Just suppose that Frederick Douglass, Wm. Still, Perry Carson and scores of young and ambitious Negroes of the post bellum period could have had access to the free libraries and free schools and colleges whose doors swung inward to admit any young man or woman of any race did desire to secure a place in the school and a boon so precious? But these men were all of them graduates of the University of Adversity, self made men who had a well defined purpose in life and they persevered until labor conquered, and destiny placed the laurel wreath upon their heads and bade them go forth, conquering and to conquer. Our young men of the present day, or some of them, are as badly afflicted with constitutional inertia and some of our young women are troubled by the newspaper, makes them dizzy in the headpiece. They have no taste for any kind of literature which requires thought. Mr. Frederick Douglass used to say that if you want to put a Colored man to sleep give him a newspaper to read. There are Negroes enough in the United States to support five daily newspapers. But the 12 or 15,000,000 Negroes do not support the weekdays and months published, as does the most successful of these publications contain the names of many hundreds of white subscribers, and advertisers.—Bruce-Grit.

This is almost double the amount given it for 1909 and 1910. Special appropriations, $91,220.09; from the General Levy, $45,500; total as stated in a preceding sentence. Superintendent Wm. A. Joiner also did splendid work for this grand result. Every teacher in the institution, receiving less than $75 a month, is to get an increase next year. Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER.

Why, he was the biggest card aboard the vessel Tuesday when she headed for merry old England. “Where's Johnson?” everyone was asking. For a half hour before the船 sailed he and his wife (white) held an informal reception in the chief engineer's suite, which Johnson engaged for the trip. Johnson saw a brow in stock for jewelry he relied chiefly on the three-quarter-inch diamond that glinted from his shirt front. Mrs. Johnson was sprinkled with all sorts of flashes and her fingers were encumbered almost to the point of being out of commission. Boxes of candy, baskets of fruit and huge bouquets adorned Johnson's suite. No international bride ever sailed with more extravagant remembrances. Johnson has not requested an audience with King George. "I don't think I will be able to see you," the king will probably want to see me and I'll always break a date to see a king. “Will you fight Bombardier Wells?” Jack was asked. “I'll fight any one in the world,” he replied; “but there's got to be money in it.

She produced dozens of witnesses who testified as to her good character. Among the wityesses were two ministers, Rev. Henry W. Wiggins, 10813 Colonial Ct., and Rev. J, H.

The call for the special session was issued by Governor Deneen. The existence of an organized band of "frebugs," with headquarters in Chicago, was discovered through the confession of Leopold Dreyfus, president of the wholesale clothing firm of L. Dreyfus & Co. of Chicago, who, after admitting he had hired agents of the gang to set fire to his store at 262 South Market street, killed himself in his home. A. B. Bankston, former sheriff of Pulaski county, illinois, was found not guilty of the charge of the murder of Wilford French, a policeman of Calro, last December, by a jury at Jonesboro, Ill.

Miss Feung Yuim Tsao of Shanghai, China, who received the degree of bachelor of science from teachers' college, Columbia university, is the first of the woman students the Chinese government sent to America in 1907 to be graduated. Gov. John F. Shafroh of Colorado vetoed the so-called tuberculosis bill passed at the recent session of the legislature which provided for the registration of all tubercular persons. Representative Owen J. Evans of Canton, Stark county, Ohio, created one of the biggest sensations of the legislative bribery scandal, by appearing before Judge Kinkead of the criminal court at Columbus and pleading guilty to the charge of receiving a bribe of $100 on the salary loan bill. He was fined $500. In suing his wife for divorce H. S. Smith of McKinney, Tex., gives as grounds for the action that Mrs. Smith is strongly opposed to Senator J. W. Bailey, while he is a supporter of the senator. Trevor Arnett, comptroller of the University of Chicago, who is investigating the University of Minnesota's financial' system, has found a deficit of $80,000 or $30,000, it is alleged. Cashier Bren is held, following a story that he was robbed of $13,000. The bitter taste of 60 grains of strychnine in less than a pint of milk saved Mrs. Ralph Rafel, the young mother of a six-months-old baby at Lon Angeles, Cal., from death by polson. Her husband has been arrested. Expressing the belief that any future war in which the United States may engage will be decided largely by battles on the sea, Secretary of the Navy Winthrop in an address to the graduates of the Annapolis naval academy said he was impressed strongly with the necessity of maintaining a navy sufficient in power to diminish to a minimum any danger of losing control of the sea. The constitutionality of the penal sections of the Sherman anti-trust law were attacked before Judge George A. Carpenter in the United States district court at Chicago by attorneys for the indicted beef packers in their final effort to escape trial on the charge of being a criminal combination in restraint of trade. Personal Mrs. William Elliott, only daughter of David Belasco, theatrical manager, is dead at Colorado Springs, Colo. She was married a year ago. John W.

Cruz Rey, former mayor of the town of Guadalupe, was arrested and a bomb was found upon him. John Dillon, National member of the British parliament for East Mayo, was dangerously injured on the head and back in an automobile accident near Dundalk, Ireland. EPITOME OF A WEEK'S NEWS Most Important Happenings Told in Brief. Washington President Taft in his candidacy for the presidential nomination in 1912 will receive the unqualified endorsement of former President Theodore Roosevelt, which will be uttered just as cordially as it was prior to the campaign of 1908. This is the best political news Mr. Taft has received in many months and it comes to him in a manner that leaves no doubt as to its authenticity. One of the unique invitations received by President Taft came from the Anti-Horse Thief association of Kansas and Oklahoma, which asked Mr. Taft to come to Arkansas City, Kan., to address its convention July 19. The president was compelled to decline the invitation. The long expected wool tariff revival bill was presented to the house of representatives by Chafrman Underwood of the ways and means committee. The measure was accompanied by a lengthy report from the Democrats of the committee in its favor, while the Republican members unanimously reported against it. The report attacks President Taft and the tariff board. . . . Public hearings on the Canadian rechiprocity bill were concluded by the United States senate finance committee, representatives of the American Newspaper Publishers' association and of the Associated Press being the last to appear before the committee. . . . E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation directorate, told the house committee investigating the steel industry that enforced publicity and government control of corporations must come, even as to prices. He said he believed the Sherman anti-trust law was too archaic to deal with modern situations and never could fully prevent great combinations of capital. --- A lively controversy over the executive's right to withhold confidential papers from a congressional investigating committee was precipitated by a flat refusal of Secretary of State Knox, on the instruction of President Taft, to lay before the house committee on expenditures in the state department books showing the record of the payment for the portrait of ex-Secretary of State Day. Domestic Colonel Joseph Garrard, U. S. A., commanding the cavalry post at Fort Myer, Va., was severely reprimanded by the secretary of war, under orders from President Taft, for reporting adversely an application of Frank Bloom, a private of the Third field arillery, for the right to take examinations for promotion to commissioned grade on the ground of Jewish parentage. Investigation of conditions in the lumber industry was begun by a special federal grand jury impaneled in Judge Landis' court at Chicago. The federal inquiry, which aims to secure evidence which will warrant criminal prosecution of big lumber dealers, started in a manner to assure the greatest secrecy. --- The army transport Buford saluted from San Francisco for Honolulu, Guam and Manila, with 780 army and navy recruits for the island stations. Six hundred hotel men from all parts of the United States and Canada are attending the annual meeting of the Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit association in Boston. Lightning drove George H. Hutton, a clerk, to commit suicide in Madisonville, a suburb of Cincinnati. For ten years Hutton had been subject to shocks due to noise and during a storm shot himself in the head, dying a few minutes later. Cardinal Gibbens celebrated in Baltimore his golden jubilee as a priest and silver jubilee as a cardinal.

The building, which fronts on Fifth avenue extends from Fortieth to Forty-second street, contains the accumulated collections of the Astor, Lenox and Tilden libraries. The appointments of the structure throughout are of a lavish and up-to-date kind. The library is a noble addition to the architectural beauty of the metropolis. HAREM SKIRT DEAD Says Greeks Taught Lies Hit Tacks in Spiral Glide Paris Misses New Style of Dress From Streets. Does Not Go in Occident and Was Merely Intended as House Gown —Latest Fashion Freak is "Hoop Sleeve." Paris.—What has become of the famous harem skirt? Is it living or is it dead? This question seems to be running through the minds of women throughout the world. The innovation was hooted whenever it appeared publicly in the European capitals, and Paris, which ordinarily becomes accustomed quickly to the most fantastic apparel refused to accept it. The failure of the garment to appear at the fashionable race courses on Sunday aroused wide comment. A few women, seeking to attract attention, occasionally dare to wear it at a roller rink or in a box at the theater, but the mass of femininity avoid it, with the possible exception of a few of the milder models, which it is impossible to distinguish from the conventional skirt. The harem skirt is not seen on the streets. With a view to solving the mystery as to what has become of the garment, a newspaper correspondent visited several leading costumers and even firms which tried to launch the skirt on the market. All admitted that things had not gone well. "The harem skirt," said M. Drecoll, "was intended merely as a house gown. It was killed by enemies who Moral Side of Padrone System Compels Small Boy to Work Long Hours to Meet Debts. St. Louis.—The moral side of the padrone system is, according to James R. Dunn, United States immigration inspector, the worst feature of the practice which condemns small boys to work long hours shining shoes in America to pay the debts of their fathers in Greece. "The boys are taught to lie from the moment they set foot on American soil," said Mr. Dunn, the other day. "They live a lie from then on while at work for the padrone.

"My grandfather made and tried to launch the harem skirt forty years ago," said John Worth, "but was unsuccessful. Then, as now, the women did not want it. It may be acceptable to the inmates of Turkish hares, who recline on cushions all day long and do not go out save when veiled and cloaked, but it does not go in the ocel- American Lenses Are Best in World, Declare Opticians—Cause or Cure Many Ills. New York.—Wholesale opticians in Malden lane are strongly denying reports which have been circulated against the good name of the spectacles and eyeglasses worn by the public. The critics, including several oculists, have said that most of the glasses are wrongly ground and injurious to the sight. As about one-fifth of all the men, women and children in the United States wear glasses, the effect on the public eyesight, according to the reports, is most alarming. Professor Algernon Tassin, of Columbia university, started the agita- Taught Lies tell the truth about their work, their own ages or their parentage.

Despite this, fifteen to twenty Greek boys are annually deported from my district, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. "My experience after handling many of these cases teaches me that many of these boys are sent over under circumstances which would warrant their deportation, could we get at the facts. Some are sent in violation of the contract labor laws, others are in under false affidavits as to their age, parent age or relationship to some one who is standing sponsor for them. The boys, I believe, are taught to evade all questions that might seek to uncover the true state of affairs in regard to their work. "The result is seen in the after life of the boys, most of whom become hangers on around pool halls, or drop even lower in the social scale. A few, it is true, become hucksters, or waiters, and earn an honest living, but they are the exceptions." Seils His Body and Soul. Chicago—Charles Kittrick, who sold his "body and soul" to seven nurses at the National Maternity hospital, died the other night at the hospital, where he was being cared for. Kittrick was suffering from a peculiar form of locomotor ataxia, and by the terms of the bill of sale his body will be used for clinical study. Kittrick sold himself for seven dollars, and he used the money to pay the last bill he owed—his room rent. Record of the sale was filed with the county recorder. Would Kill Degenerates. Boston.—That all degenerates in Massachusetts institutions should be killed with an anesthetic is the suggestion of Rev. George W.

Word that the first drill was to take place leaked out, and somebody with a peculiar sense of humor sprinkled wire nails and screws on the tuns of the slide. So the other day, when the word came to get out and the men on the top floor hit the slide there followed many yells and lots of bad language. The drill was called off. Since then several of the employees dent. I consider it lifeless for the present, but I believe it to be probable that it will be revived, say in two years, when it may be successful. Certainly it is practical, if nothing else." "It was not intended for street wear," explained a member of the firm of Bechoff, David & Co. "A few fashionable women are still wearing it indoors and at reception. My wife recently wore it at a royal reception in St. Petersburg and was much complimented." The mass of women probably will never adopt it, but I believe that really isocratic women will continue to use it for ball gowns and house gowns." The latest fashion freak is the "hoop sleeve." The hoop is placed at the middle of the forearm and its diameter is seven inches. The sleeve is drawn in at wrist and elbow. tion. He contended that in seven months he had received from an oculist twenty-three different pairs of glasses, all of which were given to him in an effort to make him see comfortably. All of these glasses were incorrectly ground, he said, and caused him much pain. Afterward it was found, said the professor, that the trial case containing sets of lenses which the oculist used in making the successive examinations, was unreliable. The professor further charged that on investigation, made with the assistance of oculists, it was found that this incorrect trial case was a fair sample of those used all over the country. The professor charged that the examinations were usually a farce because most of the oculists and opticians were not competent. Opticians and the officers of the optical societies are denying all the charges in statements sent to the trade of the entire country. These denials maintain that American manufacturers make the world's most perfect lenses and that American trial cases of lenses are now being sold to the best class of European trade. The physical laboratory at Kew, England, which is the world's recognized authority, recently examined American trial cases and gave them a most complimentary indorsement. Counter charges are made that the oculists who have joined in the criticism are unfairly to set themselves up as superior to their fellows. The critics are said to be a small minority of the oculists who hold extreme views that eyeglasses can cause or cure nearly all kinds of human lilis, from headaches to epilepsy and even drunkenness. SILK MAKES A RECORD TRIP Shipment of Goods Valued at $600,000 Carried from Yokohama in Seventeen Full Days. New York.—Six car loads of raw silk and silk goods arriving here made a record-breaking trip of 17 days from Yokohama. The silk left Yokohama on board the Empress of China of the Canadian Pacific fleet on the afternoon of April 16. It was 11 days on the Pacific, arrived in Vancouver late at night April 27, and left next morning. The trip across the continent was made in less than six days. The total time from Yokohama to New York, 17 days, breaks the records for silk shipment. The shipment is valued at approximately $600,000. 305.000 in Seal Catch. St. John's, N. F.-Three hundred and five thousand seals, valued at $498,000, were obtained by the eighteen vessels of the Newfoundland sealing fleet during the season just closed. Last year the fleet reported a catch of 333,000, with a value of $612,000. have been taking their meals standing up and they are wondering if the government will pay for the rents. An investigation, unofficial as well as official, is being conducted to find the joker. The men who slid are especially been on the job, and it was hinted that if the man was caught he would be taken to the top floor and made to slide after the tuns had been fixed especially for him. Usually the dead beat is lively enough to sponge out a good living WIT AND HUMOR MISUNDERSTOOD. The millionaire accepted the farmer's cordial invitation to ride, and with much scrambling gained a seat on top of the hay. "My good man," said the millionaire, patronizingly, "this swaying, rolling, sweet-scented divan is a couch upon which I could win slumber and be irresistible to the arms of Morpheus whenever I courted sweet sleep." The farmer stiffened. "I'll hear no more of your talk; I'm a respectable married man, an' I'll ask you where you're gain' so I can avoid the place." Dreamily the millionair: smiled. "I'm getting back to Mother Nature, who has been outraged and abused by me for years; I am a broken man, and she will forgive me and bring me back to health." The farmer stopped the team and pulled a three-timed pitchfork from the brace socket—but his passenger was gone—Success Magazine. HIS AWFUL ANGUISH. She had refused him, but, ah! her heart was filled with pity. Poor fellow! How he must be suffering! In the evening she sought her father. "Father," she said, "have—have you seen Samuel today?" "Yes, dear. I left him only an hour ago." "How was he?" "Well, he looked a trifle worried." "Oh, poor, poor Sam!" cried she who had been heartless. "He proposed to me this morning, father, and I refused him. But now his great grief haunts me. Oh, father, I fear he is heartbroken. I picture him with a bleeding soul, tossing upon a fevered couch—" "Yes," interrupted her father. "He told me about it himself while I was beating him at billiards down at the club." SOMETHING LIKE LUNGS. A gigantic private in the guards was brought before his C. O. charged with being disorderly in the public street. "Who put this man in the guard room?" asked the colonel. "I did, sir," replied a sergeant. "I was in the town last night, when I heard one one bellowing and roaring songs about 300 yards away. I went to the spot, and heard the accused—Private Johnson—singing at the top of his voice." "And you could hear him 300 yards away?" asked the colonel. "Yes, sir." "Well, what have you to say, Private Johnson?" continued the colonel, turning to the accused. "Please, sir," said Private Johnson, "I was only 'umming.' A NEW WAY TO LISTEN. They evidently were spending their first night at the concert, and the young man was telling the young lady all about it. They talked loudly, for the young man was trying to make an impression on all within a ten-foot radius. He always anticipated the performers, and finally held his hand to his mouth as he said in an undertone: "Dearie, did you ever try to listen to music with your eyes shut? It's heavenly." Thereupon a man two rows behind leaned forward and said: "Young man, try it with your mouth shut. It'll be a relief." NOT A MUSICAL CRITIC. Eight or nine women, assembled at luncheon, were discussing alliments and operations as eight or nine, or one or two, or sixty or seventy women will. The talk ran through angina pectoris, torpid liver, tuberculosis, and kindred happy topics. "I thought," commented the guest of honor, "that I had been invited to a luncheon, and not an organ recital."—Western Christian Advocates A HUMANE MISTRESS "Are you still rejoicing in that splendid cook, Mrs. Malaprop?" Inquired the caller. "Well, we are and we ain't," said Mrs. Malaprop. "The fact is Mary was so completely procrastinated by the work of my household that I've given her a three weeks' vacation.

It was Sunday morning, and Miss Smith was on the point of starting for church. Came a ring at the telephone. "Hello!" "Hello! Is that Miss Smith?" "Yes." "This is Mr. Brown. Say, if I take the 2:05 train will I get out to your house in time for dinner?"
