IN UNION THERE GAS STRENGTH TWENTY-EIGHT TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 46. Children's Hats BUBBLE 3 OR a girl somewhere above eight years the first hat is appropri- ate. As hats go, it is quite a simple affair with a broad, round crown and drooping brim which turns up in front. It is of chip or straw braid in a natural color. A big bow of ribbon spreads over the back with two hanging ends, and there is a full wreath of apple blossoms (those old-time favorites of childhood) on the opposite side. One of the most successful of children's hats, which might with equal propriety be classed as a bonnet, is shown in the second picture. It is of the silk. The brim is made of three ruffles of the side-plaited silk over a single box-plaited ruffle edged with lace. Ribbon is laid in small loops about the crown and in a rosette of loops, finished with hanging ends, at the left side. Little clusters of June roses are placed about the brim and in the center of the rosette. This is soft and charming piece of millinery art which may be made in any light color, to suit the individual taste. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. NEW STYLE TO FOULLARD HAIR MUST SUIT IOLETTE A A good many contrasts of coloring and actual pattern, too, are notable in the new foulards; an absolutely diverse design being often interwoven in the one length of material, while several model gowns combine spotted foulard and plain twill stilk or fine face cloth. So one has quite sufficient—and Parisian—precedent for bringing together the plain and spotted blue foulards, and, for further introducing—in the manner suggested by the sketch—graduated bands and flatly folded rosettes of black satin, a collar of the finest lawn, and a little frilled band to match, being other accessories of the corsage. Surah twill silk in solid color is a material which is claiming much favorable attention, says a fashion exchange. This is being used by the best model houses in Paris for making tailored suits and three-piece costumes. This new surah has a high-luster surface and is used in exactly the same manner as satins have been so freely employed recently. Surah is especially well adapted for summer use in America. It is durable, sufficiently dressy for a handsome suit, light weight, and therefore comfortable for summer use in many parts of the United States. More than this, domestic silk mills are equipped to produce surah silks. THE GAZETTE 9 made of a thin silk to which lace braid is applied. The crown is a puff of the silk.

Notable is the Revival of the "Bang," a Fashion Which is Not Received With Joy. Nowadays it is found convenient to change the style of hair dressing in order that it may agree with this hat or that dress. There are some toilette that would be bereft of their effect, and even be made to look absurd, if the hair were not arranged in keeping. The curled fringe, called the "bang," has been revived. One reason for the justifiable revival of the light-curled lovelocks that stray about the forehead is the immense popularity of the short center parting, which is just a little trying without their softening influence; and another is the reinstatement of the heavy plait or the twisted drapery of hair which is used to frame the chignon. When the plait weights the hair over the forehead the counteracting effect of a few gossamer-like tendrils of hair below is requisite for the sake of elegance. One of the coiffures of the moment illustrates the conical dressing that is becoming to the girl with a small face and mignon features. It is bitted up by means of a twisted drapery of hair which resembles a plait, and below it is a thick coil held in place by tortoise-shell prongs. The hair is carelessly ondule beneath, so that the ears are hidden, and there are a few stray lovelocks on the forehead. In another the plait is used as a coronal merely, and all the rest of the hair is curly except the childish-looking straight fringe. The Volatile Waist Line. The Volatile Waist Line. Though the waist line is less versatile than it used to be, and is more and more charmed in conventional position, the Empire effect is still to be seen. For reception and dancing gowns it is very graceful, and the soft outline it gives to the figure is delightfully picturesque. But for the street all this is out of place; it gives the wearer a silhouette that is untidy, and suggests a looseness that is altogether objectionable. In regard also to evening gowns the same fault may be found. So long as a toilette is to be worn chiefly while walking or standing, the short waist is permissible—even desirable—but for a dinner, concert or theater it is no longer so. The bust, unconfined, falls out of shape, and it is the realization of this fact that has led to so many of the newest evening bodices being made with swathed draperies and close fitting lines. The Season's Colors. Navy blues promise to predominate to a very great extent for outdoor wear. In the materials woven of two colors navy is often combined with deep plum, black or a brighter dark blue. Trimmings of red and white are vouchsafed to navy serges. Greens are very far from holding as high a place in the preparations for the opening season as they have done this winter, but combinations of blue and green are fancied, while mustard and resedas figure prominently with all shades of deep yellow in the harmonies carried out in chiffon and satin. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. NEGRO MINERS SUPPORT SCHOOL Corona, Ala. Normal and Industrial Institute Is Unique School. WHITES ATTEND EXERCISES—PROMINENT CITIZENS OF CORONA, ALABAMA, SEE NEGRO GRADUATES AWARDED DIPLOMAS. Corona, Ala. (Special).—A large number of prominent white citizens of this community attended the closing exercises of the Corona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes, which is supported by negro miners by the payment of a monthly tax, among whom was Belton Gilethre of Birmingham, well known as a philanthropist and publicist. Others present were Dr. D. B. Chilton, H. P. Gibson, superintendent of Corona mines; J. W. Harkins, superintendent of the Patton mines; Rev. J. E. Kilgore, president of the school board; J. T. Savage of the Corona mines; A. Carpell, W. F. Flies and R. C. Lollar, merchants of Corona. Mr. Gilbreath was introduced by L. B. Musgrove, president and general manager of the Corona corporation, who paid a high tribute to the faithfulness of the negroes of this section in maintaining the institution for the education of their children. "You have been faithful in many things," he said. "This corporation could not have been the success it has without your help. I have never had to call for help of any kind without a ready response, and in my heart I appreciate it." In the beginning of his address, Mr. Gilbreath commented on the infrequency of crime in this district as compared with that of other mining districts and declared it to be due in a large measure to the influence of the institution. The work of William H. Council, who laid the cornerstone of the first building here, and whose graduates for the most part have carried on the work, was given high praise, and the usefulness of the dead educator to the state of Alabama and the south dwelt upon at length. In the course of his remarks Doctor Gilbreath said: "The negroes of this section of Alabama have a great opportunity. Two-thirds of the ore mining is done by them, whereas, when I first came to Alabama it was done entirely by white miners. Negroes are learning how to do things. Mr. Musgrove in his work here is a great agent for the people. He pays you a high compliment when he admits that you are collaborers with him. God put you here for a purpose. He had a motive for it, for he is behind all race movements. If the white people are ahead of you in any way, remember they have great responsibilities by reason of that fact that you do not have. "You have with them, however, the same chance to read the Bible; the same chance for development; the same chance to build character and, after all, it is character that counts. Your race is doing far more than you perhaps think; and yet there is a great work for you to do. The white people have the same trouble raising money for their institutions that you have, and you have no need to be discouraged at all. "The same God that laid down the principle that out of the sweat of the brow shall man be fed, also laid down the principle that all men were created out of one blood. It is not a question of color. It is a question of what man is doing. You have great race leaders. Take their advice, emulate their example, and you will have no need to be discouraged. You must learn that to succeed in any work means to become an artist. A cook is an artist; so is the good miner; the good farmer. To develop this school here as you have have, I want you to work in harmony with your trustees, with your principal, and above all, for yourselves, save your money and buy property." In closing, Mr. Gilreath paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the work of the principal, M. H. Griffin. Superintendent J. W. Harkins declared that in all his work he heard no complaint from the miners of the tax they paid for the support of the school, and that in the work of the men he could see the good influence of the school. REFORMERS "COME BACK." Richmond, Va.—(Special)—After a remarkable campaign the Grand Unified Order of True Reformers have succeeded in rehabilitating itself. Insurance Commissioner Joseph Button, for Virginia, has renewed the license of this great organization and it is now beginning a new era for itself. Throughout the country there is great slation over the "coming back" of the organization, because it shows that the negro is capable of conserving his varied interests of large movements for the conservation of certain economic forces conducive to the material progress of people of negroid descent.

OUR CHANGED CONDITION CARRIES A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY In a sense, it is almost remarkable, and we believe it true of most every place, that the women of the race lead in all constructive moral and spiritual endeavor, looking to the general improvement of racial conditions. It is one of the most helpful and encouraging signs of progress among us that the thoughtful women of the race are unweared in their endeavors. And just now we are speaking of the material aspect of their work, as of that which is truly in the line of moral betterment. The poor suffering infants which need such care as afforded in day nurseries, the ignorant colored girl coming from the rural districts to work; the unfortunate women of the race who need encouragement and opportunity; the aged infirm, and many other phases of women, and those which we did not mention, are drawing our women together. Are our people in Baltimore, the more favored class, and especially the men, aspiring to be equal to the responsibility resting upon them by reason of their changed circumstances of life? In the past few years there have come into being some twenty or more colored physicists, and that all of them are succeeding admirably, one would certainly judge by their excellent homes, and general equipment. Race confidence and race support have made these things possible. From one a handful of colored teachers we now have possibly 300. And there are other callings pursued by many of our people which have yielded them good results. All of this is because they are colored. We do not relish having it put in such a way, but it is a fact nevertheless. These very handicaps: oppression and race, low respect and pride, and responsibility for the opportunities which the enterprising young colored man has by which we may hope to mount up to fame and prosperity, if, then, our poor and suffering race are minded to respond as they have done. In this particular, a most serious responsibility is thereby created, and this favored class among us have not the true conception of life if they fail to interpret the responsibility. It is their bounden duty to bring to bear upon the problems of the race the fullness of their knowledge and experience, give of their time, thought and means to devise and construct on behalf of the moral and material betterment of the race. It is a common thing in all our cities for the women to meet regularly for the prime purpose of grapping with these various problems of the race. But when do our men meet for such purposes? or do we merely enter the materially prosperous among us are systematically at work studying the needs of our poor people, and leading on in some constructive remedy? The other night the Provident hospital in Baltimore had its graduation of nurses. But few of the members of the faculty were present, and only two or three of the many doctors in the city; whereas all of them are supposed to be at least morally interested in such work. The men among us belonging to the favored class, by reason of our material success, must lead in systematic and applied consideration of such things, and put much more of the money they have been able to save into such projects than is usually the case. When we give more of our attention to such matters and are more generous in our financial contributions towards such enterprises that we believe to be worthy then the masses of the people will surprise themselves in their interest and generosity. But they are not going to be enthusiastic about such things while the men who have the most, and who will more largely profit by such successes, are indifferent, and niggardly stingy both with their time and means. If not impelled by the proper motive, love, then certainly ought they be influenced by the one not so noble, but which, perhaps, appeals very strongly to some, self-interest. It is directly to the personal interest of each and every one of this class to do all within his power, by thought, active co-operation, and liberally giving of his means to systematically advance the moral, spiritual and material well being of that section of the population with whom he is so closely identified. More business, money, honor and influence await each and every one in proportion as the great body of the people are uplifted to higher and better ideals and become more efficient in the affairs of life. And, better than all this, the destiny of man is the solution of difficult problems, and in the application and effort which they bestow in improving conditions their own moral and spiritual life will glow and expand with brilliance, beauty and strength. In the progress of affairs they will become fresh miracles to themselves, rejoicing in the strength and richness of the flow of real life and animation in their veins. By inertness and indifference they are missing the genuine manly and powerful life which is their rightful heritage. — Afro-American Ledger. TO CLEAN MARBLE.

NEW RULER WAS MARRIED TWO YEARS AGO TO PRINCESS RO-MANA ONOK, WHO WAS THEN SEVEN YEARS OLD. Abyssinia has a new emperor in the person of Prince Lidj Jeassul, grandson of Emperor Menelik. The proclamation, according to dispatches was made May 14, and the coronation ceremony takes place later. Prince Lidj Jeassul was proclaimed the Abiyssinia throne when he was thirteen years of age. Two days before he had been married to Princess Romana Onok, the seven-year-old granddaughter of the late emperor John, and nice of Empress Taitu. At the same time Ras Tessama, who had taken over the affairs of the empire because of the incapacity of Emperor Menelik, was appointed guardian of the heir apparent. The regent died on April 13 last. Menelik was born in 1844 and has long been in ill health. Several times during the past two years there have been reports of his death, always followed by official denials. Of the two states in Africa which are independent, Morocco and Abyssinia, the latter is the more powerful. For many years the death of the sovereign has been followed by civil war and anarchy, and since 1841 no sovereign of the old royal line has occupied the throne. The young emperor is the son of Menelik's younger daughter. His father is Ras Michael, a powerful prince and governor of three provinces. He has been educated by European tutors and speaks English, French and German. His union with Princess Romana was of political importance, as it united the two dynasties and the families of powerful chiefs. There will be much interest in the attitude of Empress Taitu toward the new regime. She has exercised a remarkable influence over Menelik, but in recent years is said to have quarreled with him over the succession and to have intrigued against Prince Liddj Jeasuun. Ras Tasama was appointed regent to prevent the interference of the empress in the affairs of state, as well as to assume the duties of Menelik, but he did not long survive. The empress is credited with a powerful following. EXHIBITION FOR COLORED PEOPLE STATEWIDE MOVEMENT FOR DISPLAY OF THE PRODUCTS OF MANUAL TRAINING IN THE FALL. Frankfort, Ky.—The board of trustees of the State Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored People decided to hold an exhibition this fall of the products of manual training and of professional farming, or to put it more plainly, the shop products and farm and field products. The colored people of the whole state will be asked to take part in this exhibit, which will be held at the institute building here. Suitable prizes and awards will be provided for all classes of workmanship and all kinds of farm products and it is expected to be a notable affair for the colored people of the state. The trustees believe that this is the best method to encourage the colored people to take more interest in manual training and professional farming, both of which branches are taught at the institute. The date of the exhibition has not been decided upon yet, but will be late enough in the fall for all crops to have matured and be ready for exhibition. SAYING THE RIGHT THING. "I don't seem to be able to say the right thing to women," a bashful young man confided to us the other day, "and that's why I don't shine in society. I'll tell you an instance of it. Not long ago I met a woman I hadn't seen for years, and I could see that she was trying to keep young, so I thought I'd say a graceful thing to her. "You carry your age remarkably well; say I. I. "Well, the moment I said it I could see that I was in wrong. She was looking chily and getting red, so I said: "Don't mind my little jokes. I never mean what my say. As a matter of fact, you don't carry your age a bit well." "And then she killed me with a haughty look and sailed away without saying goodbye. Say, how should I have put it?" ONE MAN'S THEORY. "No, I don't think women will ever succeed as railroad engineers." "Why not?" "They would lose too much time holding up their trains at crossing."—Boston Transcript. WHAT DELAYED HER.

SINGLE COP AFRO-AMERICA The cant-saying so popular now in the slang of the day, "they all look good when they're far away," has present and vital application in the discussion as to whether America or Europe is to be preferred by the American colored citizen. The number of dissatisfied and disgruntled colored people in this country is growing daily, and the much heralded freedom from color prejudice of the old world has caused not a few strong and sensible colored men to ponder seriously the question as to whether they should not flee from the colorphobia of these shores. No one has yet come forth to deny the assertion that Europe is far less prejudiced than America. But if Booker T. Washington may speak through the notable series on "The Man Farthest Down." In the Outlook, the United States is infinitely better as a home for the black man than any country in Europe. On his recent trip abroad he was importured, he relates, by many Americans, both white and colored, to assist them in getting passage back home. A colored citizen especially bemoaned their fate, declaring there was no work in England for his race. Nor would Mr. Washington have us bemoaned the colored man on this side is only better colored than the colored man on the other side. He declares that the colored man here is infinitely better off in his chances for work, life and enjoyment than the white man of his same station there. In short, the distance of Europe lends almost her only enchantment. Singularly enough, George Clemenceau, former premier of France, recently in his series in the New York Times, gives complete collaboration to the words of the Tuskegeean. In studying conditions in Brazil on his travels, he tells his "French brethren in shiny threadbare sleeves," that the black people of Brazil are better off than they. "Come out here," he asks, "young men, in shiny threadbare sleeves, who make your way nightly homeward to the close dens around the Sacre Coeur; come and see these black coffee planters, men, women and children, living close to nature on the outskirts of civilization, and compare your own wretched quarters furnished by Dufayel on the 'Fire' system that has cost you such anxious moments, with the blissful uddity of these cabins and tell me where you see the worst form of slavery, here among the newly emancipated Africans or at home under your own roofs?" To all those colored men groaning with discontent at American conditions and yearning for Europe, we suggest that they follow these series by France's great statesman and America's great industrial educator. Yet to those same men we do not urge that they abate by one jot or title their fight to have America give their race the rights and opportunities of equal citizenship which belong to them by right. The colored citizens of this great land would be unworthy of their citizenship, unworthy possessors of the great heritage of freedom and equal rights handed down to them by 200,000 of their heroic fathers, if they did not press the battle to the gates until they are admitted to an equal place in their fatherland. And for this reason, too, they should stay here. Europe is settled with her fixed classes and her poverty. This is still the land of wealth and opportunity. It is for America's colored citizens to make the most of it.—Editorial: Amsterdam (N. Y.) News. Several weeks ago a hundred teachers visited Tuskegee Institute. They were amazed at what they saw. All men are amazed at Tuskegee, in many respects the thing wonderful, in America. Among the number there were several Ohio teachers and the editor of the Ohio Teacher. The editor puts in his journal his impression of the things he saw, and we venture the easiest paragraph for a layman's eye: "We might as well admit in the outset that Booker T. Washington has been doing for years what many a white educator has talked about and conjectured he would do some day. During the past five years prominent educators have discussed the psychology of motivation, but the great school at Tuskegee has been motivating for a quarter of a century, and during the past ten years has solved many a pedagogical problem relative to manual training, vocational studies, the correlation of motor and sensory activities and the social efficiency of the individual. While many of us have been talking glibly about these things, Dr. Washington, born in slavery, has been modestly working them out for his race." That is too much for our usual willing hands, and we spread it on the minutes of general achievement, with the rather ragged translation that Tuskegee is the model American university, that it came out of the brain and struggle of a Virginia slave, that it is the beacon light for educational effort everywhere, and that Booker Washington is the prophet of useful learning. If that translation proves not the purpose, it is no fault of ours.—N. Y. Age. A London professor has found that the white race is doomed to die off the face of the earth, and he has discovered that the original color of man was brown. While the information brought to us by the London truth-seeker is of great human interest, it is not altogether informing. We do not believe that the white race will ever die off the face of the earth, for that race is smart enough to save its life by fusion, or by the art of combining with all other races against what is still the undiscoverable purpose of time. What the white race may lack in vitality may be supplied by the blue bloods of our own southern states, as represented by the first families of Carolina, led by Tilman; the first families of Arkansas, led by Jefferson Davis, and the first families of Mississippi, led by Jeems Katyidy Vardaman. No formula or discovery of science could convince these militant and heated defenders of the white race that their time of passage from the earth will ever come. We side with them. We should hate so much to give up white people, for they have their place in the civilization of the world and ought not to be disturbed by professors and uncouth scientists. As for the color of original man, we have known all along that it was a color other than white, for that color is out of all harmony with nature, but have feared to claim it was black less science should throw its giant form against us. We are willing to compromise on brown, the most engaging of the colors, and shadings. The whites, as this London professor points out, may be unable to fit in tropical climates, but they have fitted in well enough in Africa to gobble up all the lands and riches of that continent, and in most other climates, tropical or otherwise, where they have settled. There may be some serious facts with respect to the races of the earth, their color, shadings, varying constitutions and organisms, such as Boaz of Columbia presents, but that one race will ever completely die away and another race alone survive, we take no stock in. The fact is, let us take our own country, that both white and black, yellow and brown, are increasing year after year, increasing by hundreds of thousands. The group of people called negroes, for example, started out 50 years ago with 4,000,000 in numbers. Today a fair count would give them 12,000,000. So it is with the American whites, with this advantage for the blacks, however, that their increase, except through a handful of West Indians, who do not affect the native colored population numerically, is altogether continental, while the whites are constantly receiving recruits from Europe. We hope the professors and the scientists will give the whites a chance. They are needed and, with proper care, can be made highly useful to all lands and governments. Here in our own country we are doing all we can with them to make them yield up something in the way of equality and justice to men and women of other colors. If they are put off the earth, what are we to do? To whom we are to appeal? How lonely it would be—New York Age. The courts have recently decided that if a person has one-sixteenth negro blood in his veins, such person is to be classed as a negro. We thank the court for that decision; it solves a historical doubt that has been worrying us for many years. We've always admired the glory and achievements of the ancient Egyptians; we knew they were colored, but the racially ethnologists whom we studied always denied us the pleasure of thinking they were negroes. The courts have transferred a large section of brilliant history to our side of the house. We wonder what will the Hom Tom Watson, the greatest master of style that this country has produced, says about this? Won't he have to revise some of his expressed opinions on this subject? When Mr. Watson gets loose again on this theme we are going to cite the decision of learned judges.-Old Hickory. Some weeks ago we read an ably written editorial in one of our papers on the very important subject, "Are Preachers Overpaid?" The writer concluded that they are not. But isn't there another side to the question? We think so. And as it is a settled "habit" with us to look for the other side of questions that have been settled, sealed, put aside and marked Q. E. D., we propose at the first opportunity to look for the other side of this question, to examine into it "with the cold neutrality of impartial logic," extenuation nothing and setting down naught in malice.

C., last week Mon- day. night, Senator “Joe” Bailey. of ‘Texas, lauded “Jefferson Davis, sol dier, statesman and Christian gentle. man,” and then said: “We have to solve the problem of the Negro who thinks he is good enough to come to the front door. The only way-in which the two races wil live in peace is for the Negro to real ize and recognize his inferiority.” ‘The next night Senator Clapp o Minnesota, threw down the gauntlet to Bailey in a speech delivered to an audience composed principally of Afro Americans. He eulogized Lincoln—in contrast to Bailey's praise of Jetferson Davis; he denounced slavery, “perma- nent bondage and servitude”—in con: trast to the -Southerner’s statement that “the truth of history lies on the Confederate side.” Continuing, Sena: tor Clapp said: “God never made any race for per. manent bondage and servitude to oth ers, There is absolutely nothing in the limitations of color to prevent the Colored man from being of fully as much service to the community and the nation as the white man.” It is President Tatt’s discrimination against” the Afro-American in the South, in the matter of appointments to federal office there and his indorse ‘ment of various other color-tines, North and South, that has so emboldened the blatant and “fire-eating” southern “statesmen” in Washington, D. C., and elsewhere, as to enable them to’ talk such consummate “rot” as Joe Bailey of Texas indulged in on a recent Mon: ‘ay evening, and also the Georgia con: gressman, one Rodenberry, when he Kot the worst of a streetcar seuffi ‘at the Nation’s capital, recently. It i too, such “talk” as Bafley’s that makes the Afro-Anierican despise Southerr democracy and distrust Northern de meauracy. THE PRESIDENT POLITICAL “GAL. LERY-PLAYING.” In speaking of the Jewish private ‘who was seeking an examination for promotion to a Heutenantey in the U. 8, Army, Col. Garrard whom Prest dent Taft very properly rebuked for Ks exhibition of prejudice in Army matters, sald, after praising the pri vate's personal qualities: “I would not desire him in my com- mand as an officer and a social and personal associate. ‘The presence of the applicant's family at a miltary post would be subversive of discipline and their probable treatment a source ‘of mortification to them.” Col, Garrard, President Taft to the contrary notwithstanding, states a con: dition that really exists, in and out of the Army throughout this country, and one that is far worse in. many countries of Europe, It is wrong— this foolish prejudice—as we have said, just as wrong as is President ‘Taft's discrimination against the American Negro in the matter of ap- ointment to office in the South, his Indorsement of eoloriines in. 3. C. ‘A. work and other things. However, such prejudice, socially and other- wise, does exists against the Jew in this country, and everybody knows it, even if President Taft says differently in an effort to coddle the Jews politi- cally. Of Course, a presidential con- test Is to be waged next year, and ‘Taft hopes to be the Republican can- didate (and we hope just as strongly that he will noc be, for it will mean a democrat as President to bucceed him in 1913) and the rich Jews down east, particularly in the vicinity of New York City, have good fat bank ac- counts which it will be advisable for the finance committee of the Republi- ean National,Committee to “touch” for campaign funds. ’ Pretty “smooth,” this “‘great, big, mush of concession,” as Alfred Henry Lewis, editor of the magazine, “Human Life”, dubs the eek AS TO LYNCHING. A Committee of representative men ‘and women of the race called on Pres: ident Taft, recently, and presented a Memorial against Lynching, At the elose of the reading of same the Pres- ident stated that he “could not” send ‘a special message to Congress con- cerang the matter, but that he would “mention” the subject in bis next gen- eral message. He expressed himself tas being strongly opposed to lynching and lynchers, and condemned both in severe ianguage, and said that he thought we were Tight in seeking to ereate public sentiment -against the crime of lynching. This is another opportunity—for the President—“to play to the political gallery.” ‘The U. $. Supreme Court in a decision, long years ago, relegated the matter of etiiynching legislation to the Legis: jatures of the various states, on the ground that legislation against Iynch- murder was a state right, pure and simple. It was this decision 17 years ago that prompted the writer to start the effort that finally ended in our passage of a bill in 1896, that 1s now Ohio's fa- mous Mob Violence or Anti-Lynching Jaw, and under which individuals or their relatives, in five or six different cases at least, have recovered many thousands of dollars from various countles of the state “for injury, seri- [ous injury ana Iyaching” at the hands [of the mob, And it is.only a question of a short time, now, until relatives lof the Newark victim of last year (a white Kentuckian), will receive $5,000 | from Licking County, for its lynching. ‘This is not the first “white” mob vio lence case, under the law, either.

Richmond, Va.—One of the busiest sessions ever held by the Virginia Baptist State convention. Dr. R. H. Bolding presided and the praise services were conducted by Revs. F. C. Patterson of Hollis, L. A. Green of Swansboro and J. S. Minor of Beulah. "Home Life of the Negro" was the theme of the address delivered by President Bowling to the convention. "One of the things that we must teach our people in this, world," he said, "is the importance of getting homes and paying for them, educating their children and bettering their own conditions as individuals, and this will mean racial progress. "Education must go a long way toward helping our people. I want that we shall do all in our power to wipe out our illiteracy, ignorance and crime. Every state in the Union should do this. The men of both races who make the most trouble are the ignorant, vicious class. While here, let me speak against crime and criminals. They are produced by loafers. Loafers of any race are dangerous and we are willing to join with the lawmakers to reduce loafing. "Teach them that all labor is honorable; that the white cap and apron of the servant are as honorable as the college cap and gown. Teach them that the pickaxe and shovel, the plow and the hoe are as honorable as the pen and more honorable than the sword. Teach them to tell the truth, pay their debts, to give their words as hostage for their lives, and that crime, criminality, loafing, stealing, gambling, swearing, are the things which bring disgrace to races or individuals. The Virginia Baptist State convention stands for higher manhood and womanhood." Prof. W. T. B. Williams, field secretary of the Slater fund and secretary of the Negro Organization society, was presented to the convention and delivered an address. He said he was delighted to see the wonderful progress being made in the convention and felt that it meant much for the future of the negro in this country. "We cannot sit down and wait, but must be ever up and doing something." When Governor W. H. Mann entered the Fifth Street Baptist church, accompanied by a committee consisting of Revs. W. F. Graham, Walter H. Brooks, B. Tyrell, W. B. Reed, M. B. Hocles, J. Madison Young and W. B. Hood, he was given an enthusiastic ovation by the fifteen hundred members of the convention. The Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., pastor of the church, introduced his excellency the governor, who addressed the convention. Governor Mann said in part: "Having text assigned me, I feel that I am here for two or three purposes. I want to show the people of Virginia and the people of Richmond where I stand. I stand to push forward the good of the people and I was elected governor for that purpose. I speak to you as a layman who believes that Jesus Christ came to save sinners, of which I am one. "If I could give a word of advice to this body of representative preachers who have assembled here from all parts of the state of Virginia and District of Columbia, I would use the words of the apostle Paul, "that I know nothing about you save Jesus Christ and him crucified." The people who come to church come to hear the gospel. They care nothing about your theories and science, but they want to know the way to heaven. "I have seen men's whole course of life changed in a moment by the Spirit. Now, have you got this religion? I hope you have. The religion that will make a man better. You can come to the throne of grace asking for loved ones, as Moses did. "Why are you here, preachers? Preaching for money? No, I can make more money at anything else, but I am preaching because I am compelled to preach. Do you fall into error sometimes? Yes; but then what would you do? Do like the man who stumps his toes. Get up and go on serving God. Look up. Cling to the higher things in life. Read the life of Christ and that's all you need to do. You will never find a single instance where Christ did for man what he could do for himself. When he went to raise Lazarus from the dead some one had to remove the stone, because man had to do that for himself, but Christ had to raise the dead. "I want to impress on you that God does not turn his back on human beings, but man turns his back on God. The prodigal son who left his home, left his father and went away from home. His father remained at home. Do not go away from God." Rev. R. C. Wood responded to the address of the governor. Among others who spoke during the day were Revs. I. Francis Walker, of Cincinnati; Granville Hunt, of New York; R. W. Young, of Upper Zion, Va.; Prof. J. S. Lee, president of the State Sunday School convention, and A. W. Holmes, president of the Order of True Reformers. A JUDICIAL REPROOF A justice once reproved a would be suicide thus: "Young man, you have been found guilty of attempting to drown yourself in the river. Only consider what your feeling would have been had you succeeded." Green Bag. WORD FROM BRE'R WILLIAMS. Watch out fer de smooth folks. Satan hisself is mighty cilw wen he is lookin' fer sinners tery fry. De wise man sometimes acts foolish, an' den is de time dat de town keeps a still tongue, shakes his head an' looks wise. Onless you kin beat de meat trust it don't do no good ter cuss it out; an' sence you can't make de sun stan' still der sin't no use in de wort' or swearin' at the gas bill. THE ONLY PURELY AMERICAN MUSIC IS THAT OF THE NEGRO. It has been said that the only purely American music is that of the Negro. Inherently the Negro is musical. He is by nature a happy and contented mortal and even in his darkest hour, he is found consoling himself with some tuneful melody and in many instances purely original. There is something so appealing and pathetic about the melodies that go right to the heart. Hisimitators are many, but to the practiced ear the sweetness and melody is only found in the original. There has been an epidemic of "coon" songs and they are termed rag songs. These in no way represent the true Negro melodies. Is it a wonder that our white brethren are trying to devise ways and means of robbing us of our right of being the originators of the only American music. Are we not as much American as they? Every other nationality that enters our borders are soon lost sight of in the maddening whirl and are designated as Americans. We who have prior right for some unknown reason are termed Igreos, not that we object to the name, but the inconsistency. We have much to be proud of and we do not propose to allow any nationality to usurp our rights. The music of our souls God gave us and it has been in a measure our salvation. In our midst can be found those who can write the plantation melodies to the talented young men who have made such a stir in the musical world the past week. The entire Chicago press is talking about them. We refer to Alfred Anderson and de Koven Thompson, who have just written a love ballad that the greatest singer in the world finds pleasure in using. There is always room at the top. These young men have gone on the theory that keeping everlastingly at it brings success. That they have gained this is now practically assured. The race is full of just such men as these and to them we would say, do not wait for an opportunity, but make one—Illinois Chronicle. KNEW TOO MUCH TENNYSON'S FATHER HAD TO FLY FAR FOR HIS LIFE FROM RUSSIA. Shortly after the assassination of Emperor Paul of Russia, Tennyson, the father of the poet, dined with Lord St. Helens, the British ambassador, in Mosecow. Several Russian officers of high rank whose names he did not know were also guests. During dinner a guarded reference was made to the emperor's death. "Why do you speak so gingerly about a matter so notorious?" cried Tennyson, impulsively, leaning across his neighbor, a Russian whose breast was covered with orders. "We know very well in England that the Emperor Paul was murdered. Count Zoboff knocked him down and Benningsen and Count Pahlen strangled him." There was a strained silence; then the ambassador abruptly changed the subject. As the guests filed out into an adjoining room Lord St. Helens drew Tennyson aside. "Don't go into the next room," he whispered, "but by for your life. The man next you, across whose breast you leaned, was Count Pahlen, and Zoboff was also at the table." He gave a few hurried directions, and Tennyson rushed off, threw his clothes into a portmanteau and fled behind fast horses to Odessa, still in eying garb, though the cold was intense. He lay hidden for weeks and at last, in the disguise of a servant, was smuggled on board an English frigate. YOSEMITE VS. GRAND CANYON. Yosemite for a home or a camp, the Grand Canyon for a spectacle. I saw a robin in Yosemite valley. Think how forlorn and out of place a robin would seem in the Grand Canyon! What would he do there? There is no turf for him to inspect and there are no trees for him to perch on. I would as soon expect to find him amid the pyramids of Egypt or amid the ruins of Karnak. The bluebird was there also, and the water ouzel haunted lucied waters. The reader may create for himself a good image of Yosemite by thinking of a section of seven or eight miles of the Hudson river midway of its course as emptied of its waters and deepened 3,000 feet or more, having the sides nearly vertical, with snow white waterfalls fluttering against them here and there, the famous spires and domes planted along the rim, and the landscape of groves and glades, with its still clear, winding river, occupying the bottom. —John Burroughs, in Century. POETS' LICENSES. The poet was sick at heart. He just had submitted one of his very best productions to an unfeeling editor, who had rebuffed him in these gentle words: "I wish there was a law about poets' licenses like the dog license law. If I had my way a poet would have to take out a license every year and those who didn't would be killed."—New York Press. DISCRETION. Wife (whose husband, the local mayor, has just been knighted)—"Have you heard from the man who offered to trace our pedigree?" Husband—"Yes; he has found out more than enough." Wife—"What did you pay him?" Husband—"Fifty pounds—to hold his tongue!"—London Opinion. Give a woman an inch and she'll take the arm's length, breadth and thickness. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1911. SOUTH AMERICA NO PLACE FOR THE POOR MAN Periodically up bobs a "leader of colored people who talks very loudly about South America as a possible home of the American Negro. From the other side there comes now and then the same word. For South America we have always entertained the liveliest feeling of respect, because we have it from the books and from the traveling people that race prejudice is there almost unknown and that many dark persons are 'way up in the civil and social scale. But let us settle on a territory as a land of promise, and sure as grass grows there is the man who will turn the medal. We have an example of that before us. A mayor of an Illinois town recently returned from South America. At the Wolcott he gave out an interview, from which we take the following sentence: "South America is a revelation. We in the states don't know what there is in store there, nor do we know how to get our share of it. At the same time South America is not a place for a poor man. A farmer had better stay in this country. But a man who can go there with $25,000 and purchase a large lachenda and work it with peons can make money. The man who wants to work his own place is lost and had better stay away. There is a great opening for capital for investment in manufactures. At present South American countries import practically everything they use. It is only recently that they have begun to manufacture their own boots and shoes, and all the machinery that is going in for this purpose is American." No place for a poor man? Then it is no place for American Negroes, for those who would seek it as a free land would also seek it as a land of labor. Few negroes have $25,000 to invest in a haclenda, and no Negro wants to be a peon. If there is not the widest opportunity in South America for free labor that will bring a living wage, there is no hope for the American Negro, who when he works lives by the sweat of his brow, and lives well. So it goes. Prejudice, proscription, injustice, inequality and the bitter gall of cruel words bow us down to the ground, but after all, there is no land like the "land of the free," and there is no promise such as is held out to us and to all in the "home of the brave." The civil opportunities that a" said to be in South America we will make in our own country by the worth of us that cannot longer be hidden—New York Age. CHEYNEY UNIVERSITY GET GIFT Andrew Carnegie Gives Institution $10,000 Building Which Will Be Used by Agricultural Department—School Making Progress. Andrew Carnegie has given another building to the training school for colored teachers at Cheyney, Pa. This time it is a building for the agricultural department and will cost $10,000. It will contain the usual laboratories for scientific work in agriculture. The school offers professional courses for teaching the industrial subjects and hopes to correlate these subjects with agriculture. Three-fifths of the graduates are now teaching in the former slave states. The Institute for Colored Youth was organized in Philadelphia in 1837. In 1903 the management decided to reorganize the work as carried in the city of Philadelphia and to concentrate their efforts and funds in a first-class normal school with this aim: To give a course of instruction, both academic and industrial, that will prepare the young people for teachers of the vartious industrial subjects and graded school work. The courses are so arranged as to permit a large portion of the time to be given to the actual work belonging to the different subjects. The Institute claims now to translate the advanced and approved educational methods of instruction into the language of the present condition of the negro child. The school has developed and published a leaflet "Daily Menus for the School Year and a Dietary Study for October," and a set of record sheets for the keeping of storeroom and dining room accounts. Mention of the leaflet has been made in the U. S. A Experiment Station Record of 1910. The daily menus have received the commendation of experts, hotel managers, stewardesses of boarding schools and many other prominent authorites. The menus are especially commended for their variety, wholesomeness, economy and scientific arrangement. HIS APOLOGY. A recent refusal by a member of the English parliament to withdraw "one comma" of what he had said about a member of the government recalls the fact that Richard Brinsley Sheridan once declined to punctuate an apology. In the house of commons one day Sheridan gave an opponent the lie direct. Called upon to apologize, the offender remarked: "Mr. Speaker, I said the honorable member was a liar it is true and I am sorry for it." The insulted party was not satisfied and said so. "Sir," retorted Sheridan, "the honorable member can interpret the terms of my statement according to his ability, and he can put punctuation marks where it pleases him." EDUCATION NEEDED Slavery is but half abolished, emancipation is but half completed, while millions of freemen with votes in their hands are left without education. Justice to them, the welfare of the states in which they live, the safety of the whole republic, the dignity of the elective franchise—all alike demand that the still remaining bonds of ignorance shall be unloosed and broken and the minds as well as the bodies of the emancipated go free.—Robert C. Winthrop. A VANISHING RACE PROFESSOR LYDE BELIEVES THAT ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE HUMAN SKIN WAS DARK BROWN. It has been satisfactorily proved—on paper—that the original man was black and that the white races can never permanently acclimatize in the black man's country. German scholars have lately written learnedly on these subjects, and the gist of their conclusions was published in their columns a few weeks ago. Now comes an Englishman, Lionel W. Lyde, professor of economic geography at London university, with the theory that the white man is doomed to vanish off the earth, yielding to the colored races. Professor Lyde believes that the original color of the human skin was dark brown. The variations of that color are the results of the weakening or strengthening of the pigment, or skin coloring, under different climatic conditions, the object of the pigment being the protection of the protoplasm beneath the skin from disorganization by abnormal and therefore dangerous rays of sunlight. The effects of such rays on a man unprotected by a dark skin are, he says, nervous shock, productive sometimes of total prostration, and frequently leading to excesses, alcoholic and other kinds. Thus the original brown skin color has been developed to black in those races living in the tropics and constantly subjected to dangerous rays, while on the other hand those races whose home is far from the equator have lost most of the pigment, as the absence of any great heat renders it unnecessary, while white is more advantageous for the conservation of heat. Professor Lyde holds that in this way the race homes of mankind can be divided into different zones, that of the black peoples being on and around the equator and those of the other peoples further from the equator in proportion to the weakness of their skin coloring. The zone in which the white man can live under normal conditions has, he says, for its southern boundary latitude 55 degrees, that of Copenhagen, and he can only settle and thrive in other zones by taking steps to make himself artificially fit by such a laborious process as puts it out of the question. Taking ordinary precautions and aided by all the great modern knowledge of the microscopic diseases of the tropics, it is possible for the white man after two years of acclimation to live in the tropics even more immune from tropical diseases than the black. But the period of this immunity is not much longer than seven years, after which the deteriorating effects of the abnormal heat on a skin not naturally protected begin to show themselves and to render the system open to the attack of any of the great tropical diseases, malaria, yellow fever, cholera, etc. Thus permanent settlement of the tropics by the white is out of the question. But on the other hand, Professor Lyde says, the pigment, while being absolutely necessary in the tropics, is not dangerous, has no damaging effects, in colder latitudes. The professor concludes: "Pigment is no danger, though unnecessary in high latitudes, while the absence of it is fatal in low latitudes without precautions which no ordinary white man will systematically adopt, and therefore the dark can intrude permanently into the domain of the fair with more success than the fair can intrude into the domain of the dark." Add to this the rapid increase of the darker races, compared with the increase of whites, and the doom of the white man is inevitable suggested. —London correspondent of the New York Sun. WON HIS WAGER. Mrs. Somerville, the great mathematician and scientific writer, had to a great extent the power of concentration and became so absorbed in her task as to be unconscious of what was going on around her. Dr. Somerville told Harriet Martineau that he once laid a wager with a friend that he would abuse Mrs. Somerville in a loud voice to her face and she would take no notice, and he did so. Sitting close to her he confided to his friend the most injurious things—that she rouged, that she wore a wig and other such nonsense, uttered in a very loud voice. Her daughters were in a roar of laughter, while the slandered lady sat placidly writing. At last her husband made a dead pause after her name, on which she looked up with an innocent "Did you speak to me?" A SHADOW PHENOMENON. It is quite possible for a man to walk away from his shadow in the crude oil districts of California, where the oil is stored in huge uncovered tanks built in the ground. The best time for the demonstration is in the morning or evening, when the shadows cast by the sun are long. A person takes a position on the edge of the reservoir, so that his shadow is cast on the surface of the oil. After standing there for a few minutes he moves away, and the darkened spot made by the shadow remains for several minutes. There are many theories advanced in explanation of this phenomenon, but they are not altogether satisfactory. The matter is, however, being given some attention, and explanations will in all probability be forthcoming at no distant time. KEEP FISH FRESH To have fish good and fresh it is necessary in the small soucurs to purchase it early in the foreonow, and then how to keep it until six at night has been a serious problem. The difficulty is effectually solved by putting it into a bowl set on a small piece of ice in the kettle of a hay box. Cover tight, just as for cooking and it will keep cool and fresh for hours. The cheerful giver is generally' the habitual giver. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE COLORED PEOPLE Down in New Orleans from which reports have been coming of the activities of the Roman Catholics among the colored people of that great old Creole city, is where one might look with profit and interest for the history of the Roman Catholic church in this country and the interest of that organization in the colored people. New Orleans, with all the evidences of the American spirit which the stranger might notice, still retains and clings with wonderful tenacity to the traditions and customs of its earliest days in matters of religion, and the Roman Catholics are there today as of yore in large numbers. When it was under French denomination it was Roman Catholic and when it passed over into the hands of the Spaniards its people still largely continued to adhere to the teachings of the Roman Catholic church. The dominion of the Americans has not changed the Catholics of its people and the stranger would perhaps wonder when he would hear of the large number of colored people that are Roman Catholics, but wonder or not, it is evident that many of our people are of that faith and are sticking to it as faithfully as ever. New Orleans used to be a great quadron, mulatto and octoroon center. It was in New Orleans that so many of those famous quadron balls were given in the years long before the Civil war; where duels used to be fought under the oaks about some quadron girl; where the Roman Catholic church in order to break up the source of degradation began in a quiet way to lay the foundation for an institution which would through its instrumentalities reveal to the thoughtless the fearful amount of immorality rampant in the city. It was while there was so much of this unsavory glory on all hand that, like a star of promise and hope for the future of the colored race, the Sisterhood of the Holy Family came calmly and serenely into existence and began its holy work of rescue. The condition of affairs which no state laws could regulate or prevent was taken into hand by the archbishops of New Orleans and as early as in 1835 the pastor of the St. Louis cathedral suggested what he believed would be a remedy for evils. He had among his penitents three pious colored women who slaves. One was a quadron, another a grife and the third a mullatt, representing the various grades of the evolution of the race from the African proper. These women, reared carefully in Christian households by pious masters and mistresses, felt the degradation in which women of the race were being dragged and when the good pastor of the cathedral asked the young women if they had faith enough in their religion to go and prepare themselves to work to save the souls of their weaker people, they were just too glad to consent. Freedom was obtained for them; they were taken to France and placed in the house of the Marianites of Holy Cross at Arles to study and to serve a probation as novices. For seven years these three young women remained at Arles at the expense of course of the Catholic church, where they were thoroughly equipped for future Christian service. On returning to New Orleans a religious community was founded with them as sisters and the community named the "Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family," the members of which take the solemn pledge to devote themselves forever to the Christian education of young girls. It was 1842 when they returned to New Orleans from France and from that time to this there has been no lack of evidence of the good work the Catholic church has been doing for the colored race through that community alone. The Convent of the Holy Family stands on the very spot where the famous quadron ballroom stood. Adjoining the convent is the St. John Berchman's asylum, which stands right where the old Orleans theater used to stand. This same community had in its charge the St. Bernard's Home for Old and Infirm Negro Women. But it would make this article too long to name all the activities which have sprung from this community of sisters alone. ITEMS FROM THE ODD A new town near Galveston, Tex., is to be built entirely of concrete houses, molded on the spot by the use of steel forms constructed in sections. Tests in Dublin have shown that the wind will carry disease bacteria 200 feet and as high as 60 feet into the air, even when there is a heavy rainfall. The population of the Russian empire has increased 33,000,000 in the last 13 years, or 3,000,000 more than the United States grew in the last twenty. The Russian government has contracted for a kerosene engine propelled boat for the transportation of cholera patients from infected districts to hospitals. A simple truck, supported by a wide roller instead of small wheels, with which one man can pick up and move a piano, is the invention of a Wisconsin man. HER LITTLE COMPOSITION: A class was reciting in a school. A class was "Who can give me," said the teacher, "a sentence in which the words 'bitter end' are used?" Up jumped a little girl excitedly. "I can, teacher. The cat ran under the bureau and the dog ran after her and bit her end." IDEA OF FREEDOM There is what I call the American idea. This idea demands as the proximate organization thereof, a democracy—that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God. For shortness' sake I will call it the idea of freedom. —Theodore Parker. The good that is done you, treasure it more than gifts of gold. TOOK MIS FATHER'S PLACE TOOK MIS FATHER'S PLACE THE NIGHT EDWIN BOOTH FIRST APPEARED AS RICHARD III. Between the ages of fifteen and eighteen Edwin Booth was almost constantly the intimate companion of his father, Junius Brutus Booth the elder. That father's eccentricities were such as to tax even the devotion of such a son, but Edwin's affectionate care never failed. He used to beguile the tragedian's time following his arduous performances by playing the violin or singing negro ballads, accompanying himself on the banjo. Many times he attended his father on long walks between midnight and morning. In 1851, on a certain night, the father was booked to appear as Richard III. at the National theater, New York. An hour before the time for the curtain to rise he chose to lock himself in a closet at his hotel and refused every persuasion his son could offer to keep his engagement. In despair Edwin rushed to the theater to explain his father's absence. The house was already filled. The manager was distracted and in his excited questioning of the boy accidentally learned that the tragedian had flippantly told Edwin to go and act Richard himself. "We'll take him at his word," said the manager. And the frightened boy was hastened to the stage and helped into his father's Gloster costume, several sizes too big for him. Members of the company gave helpful encouragement. The play opened without an explanation to the audience. When Edwin made his entrance for the opening solloquy the substitution was immediately recognized, but so also was the boy, for Edwin had several times appeared in lesser parts, notably that of Tressel in the same play, in which role he made his very first appearance. The audience was kindly tolerant for a time, then interested and finally enthusiastic, for Edwin Booth, although only eighteen years of age, played Richard worthily, revealing many flashes of that brilliant genius that afterward made him a star of much greater eminence than his father had ever achieved. On the strength of this success Edwin Booth was soon engaged by the manager of a Baltimore stock company to play any part assigned to him at the enticing salary of $6 per week. Small as that pay was, Edwin Booth later on in the far west experienced deprivation that would have been immeasurably relieved by an even smaller income.—Kansas City Star. THE EXCURSION HABIT Spring is here and summer is just over the hills. With the coming of this season the excursion and the picnic are about to become common. A word of warning may not prove unwelcome. It is the plain duty of every one who works hard for what he gets to be very careful about the expenditure of the same. Instead of spending money for excursions and picnics it would possibly be more to the point to buy a home and spend whatever can be spared to make it beautiful and home-like. Until this is done one is not in position to spend a dollar and more on excursions. Not only is this amount spent on the excursion but the time is lost and in many cases the trip has made one unit for work the following day. In many cases the money and time thus thrown away buys trouble enough to last four or five years if not a lifetime, not to speak of the waste which robs one of the very necessities which would make the feeling for change and excitement less imperative if not wholly foreign to feelings and life. The money which will be thus thrown away this summer in all probability would build several homes and certainly add many conveniences if not comforts to a home already depleted because of the sporting proclivities of its inmates. Why not become wise like the ant and provide for the winter, not to speak of old age and sickness?—Durham Reformer.

THE LAWYER'S POINT OF VIEW. HONESTY "it costs more," said a prominent Bostonian, "to get divorced than it costs to get married."

My friend's uncle had in his early days been a fellow clerk with Charles Lamb. I remember his showing me a book which had been given him by Lamb, with a very lamblike inscription. It was a "Table of Interest," and on the flyleaf was written: "William Thomas Keith, from Charles Lamb. In this book, unlike most others, the further you progress the more the interest increases."—Edmund Yates. --- GRACEFUL AND NOVEL WAIST. 4846 In this pretty model we have a novelty.

Bungalow Candlesticks Novelties in the candlestick line are always making their appearance, and just now the Japanese floor lantern is the latest thing. These stand from three to six feet high, or even higher, and are both picturesque and practicable. The candle is enclosed in a beautiful dome, to keep the breezes from the flame, and as the globe is arranged to hold a large candle it will burn a long time.
