TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 51. Pretty Sun Bonnets 3 IN VIVAON THERE IS STRENGTH TWENTY-EIGHT Pretty Su THESE pictures of lovely bonnets show what happens to the sunbonnet when the milliner makes it of her dainty and soft materials. Made of lace, chiffon, thin and lustrous silk, and straws almost as pillable, with occasionally the sheerest batiste or Swiss embroidery, the sunbonnet almost loses its identity. It becomes a wonderful example of millinery art and finds a welcome in hearts already warmly attached to its plan, work-a-day predecessor. The most pleasing piece of headwear are only intended for occasional wear and may therefore be as fragile as any dream. They are indeed among those millinery "dreams" which cost many substantial dollars, for much material and much work goes into their making. TUB FROCK. This simple design is most attractive, developed in linen, gingham or any wash fabric. Little Silk Boleros The dressmakers have experimented with boleros for two seasons and they seem to have landed them into fashion at last. They are worn in bright colors with white muslin gowns or old-fashioned frocks of floral or dandle. They are finished around the edge with a plaited ruching of ribbon or a ruffle of lace. The severe ones have only a thick cable cord covered with silk or satin. Becoming Neckbands The mode of the low-necked dress and the collarless frock has called out the black velvet neckband once more. This band is about an inch in width. When last worn this was merely a band, fastening in back and front under a buckle or pretty pin. Now, however, it is fastened in the back in the manner of 30 or 40 years ago, with the long ends hanging down the back. THE GAZETTE The crowns are all big and soft, supported by light wire frames. The brims are all fluffy ruffles, varied, elaborated and abundant. Ribbons, soft and lustrous and gay, small, garden or field flowers make up their trimmings. Gauze ribbons are often used and are in keeping with the rest of the ally fabrics. Occasionally a bonnet is provided with ties but the elastic fastener is used in most cases and is comfortable and secure, that is, as secure as any method of fastening in use at present. Nearly all these bonnets are made up white, the pale blues and pinks are not entirely neglected. It is said white ones can be tinted to pale shades, by processes known to the milliner. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. TAKING PLACE OF FEATHERS Algrettes of Wheat Just Now Are the "Real Thing" for a Variety of Reasons. No one seems to be able to explain why fashion is leaving the enormous algrettes of white and black, which have been with us so long, unless it is a laggard desire to be humanitarian. The restriction thrown around birds by the laws of the states, and the difficulty and cost of getting algrettes, has given many milliners a good reason not to carry them in stock. The expense of buying one is the best reason for their unpopularity. The milliners, liking the effects of the algrette, have determined to use many other materials to take its place, therefore the new hats are trimmed with silken wheat in the form of an algrette. Some of it is in the natural color and a great deal of it is dyed to match the hats or frocks. One sees much blue and green and purple. The green is the most popular for summer use, as it is refreshingly cool. TRIMMINGS THAT HAVE FAVOR Laces of Every Kind and Description Are Among the First in Popular Esteem. Among the favorite trimmings are laces of all kinds, among which are Venise, Italian, fillet and Milan laces. Gold and silver laces are also used on some of the more elaborate gowns. Hand embroidery is much seen. A number of beaded trimmings are shown, and there seems to be a tendency to favor large beads somewhat on the order of Indian beads, which are noted on several of the Paquin models. Braids of all kinds are used on taller made suits and dresses, in various widths, in plain and fancy designs. Fringe, tassels and braid ornaments are also among the trimmings and arouse much attention. Silk fagoting is used to a great extent on many of the best models. There is also quite a liberal use made of velvet ribbon, which was employed largely for sashes, in both black and colors. Linen Is Cooler. Linen sheets, on account of the tendency to withstand wrinkling and rummpling for a longer time, are much cooler for use in the summertime than are those of muslin. Of course, the fact that sheets should never be ironed is legon, but where one cannot afford linen sheets the muslin ones can be gone over with a clean, cold iron, as this will prove to reduce the rummpling that accompanied the desire for a cooler spot on the hot nights of the middle months of summer.

GREAT HARVEST WAITS REAPERS Booker Washington, Speaking on Ohio Soil, Sends Message of Warning. SOUTH A GOLDEN LAND THERE, 2,000 SHOE STORES, 2,000 MILLINERY STORES AND 2,000 BANKS ARE NEEDED. Wilberforce. O—The commencement exercises of Wilberforce University, better this year than ever before in the history of the school, came to a close with an address by Booker T. Washington that fairly took the audience off its feet. The occasion took the form of a memorial to the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, perhaps in his lifetime Dr. Washington's closest friend in the early days of Tuskegee. More than 3,000 people were out to hear the leader talk of the character of the race's greatest churchman. Of this number almost one-third was made up of white friends from all sections of the state. Dr. Washington took as the basis of his remarks a passage from the Scriptures: "The) heavens were opened and I saw visions of God." He was never more eloquent, never more effective, and himself spoke with a vision, delivering doubtless the most important address he has made since the famous Atlanta speech. He was cheered time after time. He said in part: I am glad to be in the State of Ohio again and at the University of Wilberforce. I am glad to have a part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, founder of Wilberforce University and one of the leading spirits in the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. BISHOP PAYNE GREAT MAN. BISHOP PAYNE GREAT MAN. Bishop Payne was a great man, a man of character, a man of vision. It is impossible for any individual or any race to have any large degree of success without visions, without faith in the present and faith in the future. There is little room in this world for the pessimist; for the man who has no faith in the present or future. I repeat that Bishop Payne was a man of vision. We, as a race, must follow his example, and to be a race and to possess visions, we must believe in the present and future. Without faith in his race and in his country Bishop Payne never could have laid the foundations of Wilberforce university so securely as he did. I have little doubt but that way back in the dark days of slavery, when the foundations of this institution were laid. Bishop Payne pictured to himself even then the spacious grounds, the well-planned and well-equipped buildings, the industrial and academic departments of this institution, as they exist today in such flourishing condition. We have little doubt but that he pictured to himself that the day would come when on commencement occasions there would be gathered here thousands, as there are today, of the best types of white and black people representing the state of Ohio and nearly every section of our country. BISHOP PAYNE'S VISION. I have little doubt but that Bishop Daniel A. Payne saw in a vision the time when there would be few in any part of America to rise and oppose the education of the negro, whether it be industrial education, academic education or professional education. I sometimes fear that we, as a race, do not rightly appreciate the advantages and opportunities which we enjoy in this country. Since the great bulk of our people, 9,000,000 at least, reside in the southern states, you must excuse me if I dwell a good deal on what I shall say upon the opportunities afforded our people in the southern states; opportunities for development in material, educational, professional and religious directions. NATION WITHIN A NATION. In numbers, we constitute, as it were, a nation within ourselves. We are 10,000,000 strong. Canada has only 7,000,000 of people; Australia 4,000,000; Belgium 7,000,000 and Holland 5,000,000. The combined population of Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark is about equal to the population of the black race in America. We must learn to use the strength of numbers and improve our condition. This means that we should cultivate in an increasing degree in every part of the country, pride of race. If there is any one human being whom I detest, is the man or woman who is ashamed of the race to which he or she belongs; who is all the time trying to get away from the race; who would rather be a third rate man than a first rate black man. The negro in America must learn to have as much pride in his race as the Frenchman or German or the Irishman has in his racial identity. There is a passage in the Scripture which reads something like this: "The heavens wer opened and I saw visions of God." I believe that the heavens are just as truly open today as they were thousands of years ago; that we can see visions of God just as truly as the prophets of old saw thousands of years ago, and we must begin to see these visions before it is too late. Let us open our eyes and see the visions that are in the south in the direction of opportunity for material advancement. The foreigners who are fast flocking into the southern states see these visions and the negro must see them or the time will come when he will be shut out from the many opportunities now offered him in the southland. We have a right by inheritance, a right by the labor of our forefathers to share in the riches of the south, and we must not let prejudice nor inconvenience frighten us away from sharing in this birthright of today. Two hundred million acres, or over fifty per cent, of the total land in the south is unimproved. There are about 1,000,000 acres in Alabama, 12,000,000 in Georgia, 5,000,000 in Louisiana, 6,000,000 in South Carolina and 100,000,000 in Texas that are unimproved. That means that there are 200,000,000 acres of land waiting to be cultivated; that means that this land at the present time is comparatively cheap and can be purchased by black man or white man, but it will not remain cheap long. In the past ten or fifteen years land values in the south have increased very rapidly. In some instances the increase has been from 100 to 500 per cent. Lands which fifteen years ago are selling at from 2.50 to $15 per acre are now selling at from $20 to $100 per acre. The wealth of the south has been increased by the rise in land values alone over $500,000,000. WOES OF CANDLESS RACE. While men from all parts of the world are seeing this opportunity and getting land. I want the negro to do the same thing, and I am glad to see that many of our best colored men throughout the south are seizing this opportunity and are buying large tracts of land. A landless race means a poverty-stricken race; a landless race means a dependent race with uncertain employment, one that lives by picking up odd jobs here and there; a landless race means a non-tax paying race, an unsettled race, a thriftless race. Everywhere let us encourage our people to enter into the possession of soil of this country, north and south. Throughout the south there are numerous organizations that work every day in the form of commercial clubs, farmers' clubs, clubs to promote manufacturing and clubs to promote merchandising, that have for their object the control and the development of the immense material possessions of the south. The negro everywhere must wake up and follow the example of these organizations. OLD KING COTTON. Let me be a little more specific—the price of cotton is increasing in value every year. There is only a small territory, so far found, where cotton can be profitably produced. That territory is in our southern states. The black man can get this land. He can share in the immense profits of the future, in cotton growing. Cotton is being consumed in larger quantities every year throughout the world; that means an increase in price, that also means that it will be harder in the future to get cotton producing land than it is now. We must remember that the forces of nature draw no color line. Sunshine and rain are as helpful to the black hand that tills and owns the soil, as the white hand that tills and owns the soil. The history of the civilization of the world teaches that the people who own the soil are the the people that are going to grow in independence, grow, in education, grow in moral and religious strength. There are millions of acres of land in the south that can be purchased for cotton raising, for trucking, for dairying and for fruit growing. There are millions of acres from which coal and iron can be gotten, from which lumber can be manufactured. All these are possibilities within the reach of the humblest black man in America. 200.000 FARMERS NEEDED. ON BECOMING MANUFACTURERS. ON BECOMING MANUFACTURERS. The south is full of the best lumber suited for the manufacture of all kinds of furniture. The lumber in its use is as free to the colored man as to the white man. We are great consumers of household furniture. Why should not our educated men begin the manufacture of furniture? If we could manufacture one tenth of the household furniture that we, as a race, consume, we would give employment to thousands of our men and women and add immensely to our WESTERN RESERVE wealth, improvement and usefulness. To indicate to you to what extent the white man is taking to the fact that within ten years Arkansas has increased her horse-advantage of the natural resources of the south, I have but to refer to the fact that within ten years Arkansas has increased her horse-power for manufacturing 214 per cent; South Carolina has increased her horse-power for manufacturing purposes 220 per cent; Texas 250 per cent; Louisiana 619 per cent. There is vast water power in the south that can be used for manufacturing purposes. Everywhere in the south people are using water power for generating electricity. Examples of this can be found near Augusta, Ga.; near Columbus, Ga., on the Tallapoosa river, and near Montgomery, Ala. OPPORTUNITIES FOR MERCHANTS If we do not want to go into either agriculture or manufacturing there is a vast field open for the educated colored man in the direction of merchandising. With such a field open as we have in the direction of commerce in the south there is no reason why any intelligent, energetic and educated colored man need go about looking for a job. He can create a job for himself, and when one creates his own job, he gets into a position of power and independence, and is not dependent upon the whims of political parties or color prejudice. There are places in the south for 5,000 additional dry goods stores, and there are colored people enough to support these dry goods stores. In the south the negro merchant is not dependent upon the trade of his own race alone, but throughout the south, while there is prejudice in other lines in business, the negro has little prejudice to contend with along this line. Not only the colored man trades at the colored man's dry goods store, but the best white people are not afraid to patronize a first-class dry goods store, and the same thing is true of other business enterprises owned and controlled by the colored people. There are openings in the south for at least 8,000 additional grocery stores, for 3,500 additional drug stores. There are openings in the south for 2,000 shoe stores, 2,000 millinery stores, and there are communities in the south where 2,000 additional negro banks can be opened and supported. Further than this, there are places in the south where, at least 75 self-governing, self-supporting and self-directing towns or cities may be established where the colored people can have their own mayor, their own board of aldermen, their own self-government from every point of view. In the last analysis, local self-government is the most precious kind of self-government. If none of these openings suit the ambition of our educated colored men and women, there is another field that is ripe for the harvest, that of education. There are a million and a half of negro children of school age who do not enter any school in the south, and there are hundreds of thousands of others who are in school only three months out of the twelve months. We need 30,000 additional schoolhouses built in the south, and we need, at least, 20,000 additional negro school teachers. But if the vision of the educated colored man cannot be realized in any of the callings to which I have referred, there are still further openings in the south. I refer to the opportunities in professional directions. There are individual locations in the South for it least 2,500 additional doctors and 3,000 additional pharmacists, 2,000 additional dentists, and 1,000 veterinary surgeons. DO NOT LOSE COURAGE. In the lines of religious activities and service, I want the young colored men and women to see the vision aside from the opportunities to preach the Gospel. Wherever in any communities there are 2,500 or more colored people they are capable of supporting a Y. M. C. A. building. There are 56 cities in the country, at least, where Y. M. C. A. buildings could be established and supported. We must not become discouraged by racial relations. True, we have prejudice to contend with in the south, as elsewhere. The color line is often unjustly drawn throughout the country. We have to endure injustice; we have to contend with injustice, but instead of letting prejudice discourage us, we should use it as a spur to urge us on to higher efforts, to renewed enterprise. FOUNDATION OF RACES. All races that have achieved success have come up through ownership of the soil, through cultivating the soil, through manufacturing, through merchandise, through making themselves strong in education, and in moral and religious directions; and lastly they have come up through fighting prejudice. Out of the fight they have gained a strength and an experience that they would not have gotten except for racial prejudice. JOHNSON TO BE PROVIDED FOR. Washington, D. C.—Mr. Joseph E. Johnson, for many years attached to the staff of the speaker of the house of representatives as stenographer and confidential clerk, tendered his resignation to Speaker Clark. He is conceded to be one of the best in the business, and a strong effort was made by the broader-minded Democrats to have him retained on his merits. It is understood that Mr. Johnson is to be provided for handsomely under another branch of the government. He is too valuable a man to be permitted to be idle. LET US BUILD CITIES. DO NOT LOSE COURAGE FOUNDATION OF RACES. CELAND, O. CAL SOCIETY SINGLE CO AFRO-AMERIC AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Two hundred and fifty-nine diplomas from all the departments of Tuskegee Institute were awarded to one hundred and seventy different students. The commencement, sermon was preached on Sunday by the Rt. Rev. John C. Kilgo, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Bishop Kilgo's admonition to the senior class set the standard for the week. The young people have been reminded over and over again, as Bishop Kilgo said, that they would be put to a severer test than men and women who have not had their training. We give the following extract from the Crisis taken from the Sacramento (Cal.) Union: "In both members and moral and mental enlightenment the race has grown with strides of which the average American has no comprehension. Is it generally known, for instance, that today there are 10,000,000 black people in the United States? Is it known, except to the investigators, that 3,700,000 are members of churches, presided over by 35,224 ordained ministers in 35,160 houses of worship? That the total value of "And it is just," he said, "that you should be tried by severer standards than men who have not had your opportunities, men who have not come into this educated circle. It is fair more should be expected of you. I would fix in your minds that you are always under fire, and it is a capital thing. You have got to justify not only your right to live as men and women, but you have got to justify your right to live as educated men and women. You cannot justify this by arrogant assumption of superiority. The fact is, genuine superiority is not conscious of itself. Real superiority is so insensible of itself that it is never compelled to sit up and nurse itself. A man sensible of his right and his social position is not compelled to sit up with it at night, or wrap it up and feed on warm tea. He can afford to let it go into the street and walk by the commonest beggar and be helpful to the commonest wretch. It is the man whose social standing is not only questionable in the community, but very questionable with himself, who cannot afford to speak to a wagon driver or a ditch cleaner. You must vindicate your educational rights in a beautiful, simple way. Simplicity is the highest virtue of genuine master." This month the Universal Race congress convenes in London, England, and Prof. W. E. Burghardt Dubois has sailed for that place to represent the American negro at this convention of the foremost thinkers and students of the world. The congress will be of infinite benefit to all the races of the earth and it is expected that they will all be represented and that each representative will be prepared to furnish the congress with the kind of data from which can be drawn conclusions which will go far toward lessening the intensity of race hatred. Israel Zangwill will speak for the Jews in America. W. A. Eastman will speak for the Indian and Prof. Dubois for the negro. We are certain that our interests will be ably looked after by the great scholar and sociologist.—Louisville Defender. These saloon and dive "bullies" of our race is the element that should be looked after. They are the lawbreakers among us, they are the disturbers of the peace, the abusers of privilege and the instigators of the strife and friction that bar many good negroes from many privileges open to them. This class of negroes is undesirable. They must be peaceful or the law will do as they see fit with them. This country has built jails, penitentiaries and all manner of prisons in every quarter; they are being filled with men and boys of our race—nine-tenths of them being of the lower class. The better class of our people are not molested by the law.—Exchange. Men have pursued their courses to topmost fame and have 'fallen and come again with much glow and splendor as before. But, alas, the poor woman's fall is the greater. It is unpardonable among mankind and her reward remains in the unknown beyond; no matter what change comes about to lift her from shame. Why may not she bear the respect and praise the man receives, when he has committed that which is wrong? She is a woman. Each race looks to the woman for virtue, morality and the right bidding of men. If she falls, it is fatal—Palestine Plaindealer. One of the things that we must learn and learn speedily is that we must depend upon ourselves both as individuals and as a race. Let us stop looking for posts to lean against and stand up on our feet like men. The world gets heartily tired of loafers and leansers; one is about as bad as the other—Savannah Outlook. Mrs. M. G. Davis (white) of Houston, Texas, thinks the ex-slaves need meat and bread instead of monuments to the memory of their service to their masters. She favors the "black mammy" monument builders corporating and providing for the comfort of the ex-slaves while they are here, which would be a good movement. A person who does not think as you do can hardly look like you. It is not fair therefore to blame a person for looking so much unlike yourself when he does not live along your line of thinking—The Baptist Vanguard. Give the negro forty-five more years and his progress will be unbounded. IN UNION THERESE STRINGTH PY FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS We give the following extract from the Crisis taken from the Sacramento (Cal.) Union: "In both members and moral and mental enlightenment the race has grown with strides of which the average American has no comprehension. Is it generally known, for instance, that today there are 10,000,000 black people in the United States? Is it known, except to the investigators, that 3,700,000 are members of churches, presided over by 35,224 ordained ministers in 35,160 houses of worship? That the total value of property owned by negroes is $56,650,000? That there are 35,000 negro Sunday schools with 1,700,000 pupils and 210,000 teachers? That the negro churches contribute annually $500,000 for education, $50,000 for foreign missions and $100,000 for the support of missionaries at home? That the negroes are themselves maintaining 175 colleges, industrial schools and academies? What do you think of this showing in less than half a century? Thousands of our people are renters today, who have had the chance of owning homes, but let such opportunities pass unseen. This is a sad mistake on the part of some of our people. Many of us are rearing large families who, if you should die, would be left homeless and out of doors. These opportunities of home-buying are not always going to exist. Land is advancing in prices daily, and in a short while it will be beyond the reach of the meager wages of the common working-man. The rent some of us pay per month would make payments on homes. In many of the cities rent ranges from $10 to $20 per month, in smaller towns from $4 to $10. A home could be purchased at these monthly terms. Land is growing more precious daily, and every negro family should be the possessor of a home—Palestine Plaindealer. We do not believe that any large proportion of the negro race is at any time deceived as to the manner in which it is to make genuine and real progress. There is but one way for any people to make progress that will stand the test of ages, and that is through improvement along material, educational, moral and commercial lines, together with the possession and use of all of their civil rights. Unfortunately, human nature is so constituted that these possessions cannot be gotten hold of by mere passing of resolutions, cannot be secured by cursing and condemning the other fellow. They can only be gotten by constant, hard, persistent effort. The majority of the race understands what it must do to succeed and is not going to be fooled—Memphis News. Hawaii is now clamoring for statehood. A concurrent resolution of the senate and house of Hawaii has been placed before the house of representatives, asking congress to pass an enabling act for a constitutional convention, preparatory to admitting Hawaiu to statehood. It is also asked that congress authorize the raising of certain funds, to encourage Caucasian immigration, and to extend educational facilities in the islands. The resolutions were referred to the committee on territories. It is a good sign if Hawaii is ambitious. Most people associate with those islands a spirit of lethargic contentment with existing conditions. Charleston Messenger, Palestine with over 900 negro families does not show up well in negro enterprise support. About one-third of its families are trading with negro grocers and the two-thirds somewhere else. Every black man should enter the movement of race support and help your people. The support of over 900 families would swell the progress of our enterprise in many ways, beneficial to the people.—Palestine Plain-dealer. Bishop I. B. Scott, under difficult circumstances, and with limited resources, is doing a great work on the West Coast of Africa. He is a safe and sane leader. While many disagree with his article concerning the Methodist Episcopal church and her black members, developments may yet vindicate the bishop, and those who oppose him may be forced to accept his position.—Sam Huston College Bulletin. Our progress in the south is only handicapped a little by that element of white men who like to treat the negro roughly, cuff, and beat him on the streets. But he is gradually decreasing on account of the sympathy shown the negro by the better class of white men, who are always found befriending the negro. The negro farmer must produce more, for there is a sale for his products among the whites, as well as members of his race. Every young negro should strive to get an education. Nowadays you cannot get employment without the knowledge of reading and writing.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. In response to the requests of a number of our readers, The Gazette gives today, on our first page, Dr. Booker T. Washington's recent speech at the Wilberforce Commencement. The English and Irish evidently intend to keep Champion Jack Johnson busy with fights and incidentally add very materially to his finances. He is soon to meet Pat. Curran in Ireland, and Bombardier Wells in England. The talk of Senator Foraker as the Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio, this fall, emanating from Washington, D. C., is positively silly—just about what one would expect from President Taft's "kitchen cabinet": Negro office-holders at the Nation's Capital. To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law the guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Republican U. S. Senators are beginning to cry out lustily against the probable candidacy of President Taft for re-election. See what Senators Heyburn and Bourne have to say, anent the matter, in our Washington, D. C. letter elsewhere in this paper. They are right! Now is the time to speak up, "for the good and welfare" of the party. It's too bad we are such a thorn in the side of our white brother. Even after we're dead he wants to stick us in a "jim-crow" cemetery—Chicago Defender. You would have a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. why object to a "jim-crow" cemetery? The "white brother" in Chicago, evidently, desires his "Colored brother" there to have all the "jim-crow" he wants and more. Can you blame him under the circumstances? There are some issues which cannot be compromised or arbitrated. They are those questions which pertain to the principles of justice—or humanity in the largest aspect of the term justice. Such questions include the treatment of all as humans; of all as equals before the law. They are essentials of humanitarianism, ethics, Christianity, democracy. Under a sane conception—intellectually and morally sane—there can be no discrimination on account of race, color, creed, or station of life in a Republic; no "jimrowism," no distranchise clauses! It does not take "a prophet nor a son of a prophet" to see the correctness of Senator Heyburn's prediction that "President Taft will lose next year, if renominated as the Republican candidate for the Presidency." His reciprocity bill is not the only thing, by a good deal, that will bring about the result. As a weak Chief Executive Taft is certainly in the Rutherford B. Hayes class. When the Senator characterized the war of the rebellion as "an infamous cause," he certainly spoke the truth. Would that there were more fearless and able men of his kind in both branches of the Congress Postmaster General Hitchcock wants P. M. Long for state chairman of the illy-white republican party of Alabama, and President Taft's private secretary, Mr. Hilles, wants J. O. Thompson, Collector of Internal Revenue for that state, to fill the position. Dr. Booker T. Washington found time to see the President, on the 6th, in behalf of Thompson, says the Washington (D.C.) Evening Star. And this is the "leader" who advises his people to "keep out of politics" but falls so signally to practice what he preaches as well as to promptly prosecute Ulrich, as he promised many weeks ago. Well, well! WELL! A WHITE SKIN WORTH $3,750. Here is one of the consequences and "beauties" of the American brand of "democracy": Because she was taken for a mulatto on account of her dark complexion, and made to ride in a "jim-crow" car, Miss Belle Richell of Kokomo, Ind., was awarded $3,70 damages against the L. & N. Railroad—Chicago Evening American, July 3, 1911. Hid away in a corner of the third page, and published without flaring headlines, this item suggests several considerations and thoughts: One being the high price set upon the "white" skin, by the jury; the other, of more practical bearing—whether the southern railroads will not get chagrined at the "jim-crow" car laws, when they may be thus touched in a sore spot by incidents like the above not unlikely to occur again and again. We may assume, that in time some white sharper with a very dark skin might make the thing a good speculation, seeing the profit the "degradation" will bring bin. Who is next to try? A "TAFT" JOKE. No appreciable opposition to the renomination of President Taft has made its appearance in any State. All visiting Colored men, who come this way from the States that vote, agree that the President will have the solid support of the Negro Republicans.—R. W. Thompson in, The Freeman. Mr. Thompson holds a small position in a Government department at Washington, D. C., and was recently given a small increase in pay. This doubtless accounts for the above "joke" excerpt. If "all visiting Colored men" (in Washington, D. C.) really have told him that Afro-American voters of the states are for Taft, they certainly have been "stringing" Brother Thompson to a "frazzle." The fact is, just the opposite is true—it is difficult to find an intelligent or any other member of the race except one holding a job—like Mr. Thompson—who is for Taft. He has treated our people so outrageously in so very many ways that it would be next to a miracle to find them otherwise. If President Taft is renominated, he will receive fewer Afro-American votes than any other Republican candidate for the Presidency—less than one third. Mark our prediction! WHERE WAS BOOKER T.? Where was Dr. Booker T. Washington last Friday, when his case against Albert Ulrich (white) the man who gave him such a fearful beating in New York City some months ago, was called in the Court of General Sessions of that city? He certainly had had plenty of time (many months) in which to arrange to be present, if he intended to "prosecute Ulrich to the full extent of the law," as he promised many weeks ago. Now, the case will not again be reached until in October, the dispatches to the daily papers of the country announced last week. The only thing that will convince the people of the country, especially our people, that Dr. Washington is innocent of at least questionable intentions in being in that "free and easy" section of New York City, at that time of night and on a Sunday, too, will be the energetic and successful prosecution of the individual, Ulrich. The matter will not be permitted "to drop out of sight," either. Of this Dr. Washington and his friends may rest assured. "TAFT WILL LOSE." Says Senator Heyburn Who Properly Characterizes the War of The Rebellion — Senator Bourne's Pertinent Statement. Washington, D. C.—A characterization of the confederacy as "an infamous cause" by Senator Heyburn of Idaho, brought Senator Williams of Mississippi to his feet last Wednesday. Williams had asked to have Jim Jones, 82, who had been Jeff Davis' body, removed of the confederacy was intrusted, retained on the senate pay roll as a laborer. Senator Heyburn acquiesced in the retention of the Afro-American for his services given to the senate, "but not because of loyalty to the glory of an infamous cause." And he joined the senate vote, 73 to 18 to leave Jones on the pay roll at $720 a year as a laborer. Senator Heyburn, a republican, on last week Wednesday, predicted on the U. S. senate floor that President Taft will be renominated, but will be defeated at the next national election. The reciprocity bill, he said, was the cause. "Millions of republicans will repudiate the leader who is trying to break the trade trough," Heyburn said. "The progressives are like a lot of crabs, you cannot tell which way they are going." Senator Heyburn also said the bill was presented to congress wrapped in the flag of piracy. His prophecy of Taft's defeat and his vitriolic attack upon the progressives was received without protest. Senator Bush, a former insurgent, intermixed Mr. Heyburn to explain that he agreed with his views. "I predict there will come before the republican convention of 1912 no other name than that of Robert LaFollette. That of President Taft, in my opinion, will not even be mentioned." This is the declaration of Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon who as former progressive republican league is the head of the progressives in this country. "There is no longer a chance, as far as I can see," declared Mr. Bourne "for Taft to be re-elected. Even his best friends must admit this. Then shall the republicans nominate a man certain to go down to defeat; they want Taft to on one hand a single republican senator who is going to take a chance on the senate going democratic, as it is certain to do with a democratic landslide for president. And this is especially true in the case of republican senators who are chairmen of influential committees. They are too selfish to sacrifice their power to Taft on their own, you can count on their selfish motives to save, unwittingly, the people from another dose of Taftism. There is only one 'X' in this political equation of mine, and that is: Will the people of this country rally strongly to the LaFollette standard during the next four or five months? I believe they had enough of Taft, and I believe that La Follette is the only man in the country today to whom the people will look for guidance." Our N. Y. Regiment. Albany, N. Y.—An Afro-American regiment will form a portion of the national guard of New York state in the near future, according to a bill passed by the legislature. There was considerable opposition to the measure by members who declared unalterable opposition to any legislation which drew lines of race or of creed. More Delay in The Ulrich Trial New York City. When the case against Albert Ulrich, the carpenter charged with assaulting Booker T. Washington, who says he struck the educator because of an insulting remark to Mrs. Ulrich, was called for trial last Friday there were no appearances and the case was sent to the foot of the calendar. This means that it will not be reached until October. AGENTS: READ! When your Gazettes are not delivered on Friday mornings, call at your intruder guard.

The white people of the South are rushing to the cities faster than our people, says a recent report of the census bureau. Mr. and Mrrs. R. N. Wickfield, Sr. of Jamestown, N.

Scarborough, and Mr. Sidney Woodward, the tenor, head of the department of music in our Florida Baptist College, are among the Afro-Americans en route to London, England, to attend Universal Race Congress to be held there the last week in this month. Former Lieut-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana, now a citizen of New York, recently appointed a special agent in the Internal Revenue service at New York City, in charge of collecting the corporation tax, has been covered in the civil service, and covers his education in the Federal employment for life. It is generally supposed that the first Colored man elected to any State Legislature was in the South during the reconstruction period, but this is a mistake, for the first one was Capt. Chas. L. Mathews of Boston who was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature in 1866. Mathews was years older than the late Hon. Gideon Wells. The late Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy in President Lincoln's cabinet, made a request before his death that when Henry Green, his trusted servant died, he should be buried in the family plot in Hartford, Conn. Mr. Green, 80 years of age, died recently in East Orange, N. J. In accordance with the law, his body was taken to Hartford, and interred in the Welles plot. Two large tracts of land, one within the Fort Berthold Indian reservation, containing 150,000 acres, in the Dakota, and one of 129,000 acres in southwestern Missouri, in a settlement by the General Land Office, by order of the President. Write to Hon. Frederick S. Dennett, Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, for information. Hon. Frederick chance for the Negro with the "mioneer spirit." C. R. Patterson & Sons, Greenfield, O., represent the best effort of Negroes in a purely commercial field. Their plant is the largest, most representative effort in manufacturing and sound business. Be it said to their everlasting credit, that a large number of Negro professional men in the south and north who must have buggies and other vehicles, purchase them from the Patterson Co., but as a matter of course, Negro purchasers represent but a small portion of the population who must make in order to "make good." It will be of special interest to our young men who are anxious for a military career to note that after the assignment of West Point graduates to the corps of engineers this year, there will still exist ten vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant in the corps. A new position as provided for in the last river and harbor act, which increased the corps, and an order is now being prepared by the War department for competitive examination of civilian citizens. To be eligible for appointment, a civilian must be an unmarried citizen, between the ages of 21 and 29. It is also required that a candidate shall hold a diploma from an approved technical school. Secretary Holton Stinson recently declared that political influence is not necessary to secure a fair chance for these appointments in the Army. According to the law, they are open to all comers who are able to comply with the requirements. THE HAMILTON BOY, A MODEL. A Sick Scholar Graduating Third Gets Gets Might From the Principal Brooklyn, N. Y.—"He is the most remarkable scholar that ever came under my instruction, in the fact of his being not only splendid in mentality but also most obedient in conduct and a model for the entire university," given Looser X. Hamilton, the twelve-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hamilton, 214 Milford street, on graduation day by Principal G. A. Millard of Public School No. 64. From this school young Hamilton graduated in annual examinations of the Public School No. 35. The only Colored boy in his class, he stood third, after jumping from the second class to graduation. Although ill on the day of the closing exercises he was determined to appear and did so. Immediately after graduation he was held and stay there for more than a week. He was very popular with his classmates, being chosen cashier of the photo committee. A. Damnable Outrage! Shreveport, La.-On July 11, as the train pulled into this city, two young women of the race were taken from a Pullman sleeper in their night-clothes and, barefooted, marched to the jail and fined $25 each for riding in a sleeping car through this miserable state. The victims were brought into court at 9 o'clock next morning in the same manner and the judge, who is a Roman Catholic and an Irishman, told the unfortunate women that if they were caught in one of those cars again they would be lynched. "We have a "jim-crow" law here and we will make sure we respect it if we turn to lynch all of you in the state." The young women were maids in southern families of the first-class and, although they protested, it was without avail.

Will Not Fight Langford Unless A Side Been Bombed Cur- ture And Bombardier Well London, England—World's Champion Jack Johnson says: "The statement that I am matched to meet Sam Langford in Sydney, Australia, on Dec. 26 is not true. I have no intention of meeting him, but I am protected by any syndicate and will not meet Langford unless he is prepared to bet me $10,000 and I am guaranteed a suitable purse for my end. I am contemplating a trip to Australia after my English season is ended." Langford, who is Sam Johnson and Bombardier Wells is practically settled. It will occur soon after Johnson's fight with Curran. Both men have accepted the terms as to the splitting of the purse, which is the largest ever offered for a pugilistic encounter in England. All that remains to be done is to agree and the agreement. Both have agreed to do this within a few days. London, July 17—Betting on the fight between Jack Johnson and "Bombardier" Wells, matched to meet in London September 30 for a purse of $40,000, began Monday.

MAKE AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE Light Weapon of Small Caliber Has Been Wrought for Use in Austro-Hungarian Armies. Vienna.—Interest was caused the other day by the publication in the Zeit, a paper usually well informed on military matters, that, after long endeavors, the Austro-Hungarian military authorities have succeeded in constructing a perfect model automatic army rifle. The new weapon is said to be considerably lighter, and to have a smaller caliber than that now in use by the army. Practice with the new rifle is now proceeding on a large scale, and it is believed that it will soon be introduced into the army. The paper gives further details, and states that the caliber is six millimeters. The rifle is being constructed at the Steyr Armor works. Eggs Hatch Out Chicks. Buffalo, N.

Griggs known to the public as the author of "Imperium In Imperio," "Overshadowed," "Unfettered," "The Hindered Hand," "Pointing The Wheel," "The Question," has just completed his eleventh book, "Wisdom's Call," which is now ready for distribution. In view of Mr. Griggs' reputation as an entertaining writer and original thinker his new book will be welcomed with keen interest. Some of the ablest minds in America have asserted that Mr. Griggs was too profound a thinker to make himself thoroughly understood in fiction and following their advice he has written in a straight forward way no longer using the story to convey his thoughts. The result of the change is that a genuine sensation is in store for Mr. Griggs with gone down the heart of the race question as never before. White and Colored, men and women north and south, who have seen advance sheets of the work say that Mr. Griggs' presentation is so clear, so thorough, so absolutely profound that there is not a shade of doubt as to the tremendous influence the book is compelled to have on the thinking of the American people.

Review, president of Western University, himself autor of wide repute, having read a portent of Mr. Griggs' latest work in advance of publication in book form, wrote Mr. Griggs as follows: "I have been reading your books and miscellaneous writings ever since you committed yourself to that form of service to humanity, but in none of them have you arrested the thought of the American people so much as I have. You will have your latest production. It has the same originality that makes one feel that you are bringing a fresh element into the discussion of our country's oldest and most vexatious question. Your persistence and sacrifices in this great work prove that you are called to God to do it, and deserve the support, moral and financial, of all lovers of humanity." The new book contains a hundred and sixty odd pages, is neatly printed on good paper and bound in leatherette, the introductory price of the book is fifteen, with five cents added for mailing. The book may be had of the Orion Publishing Company, E. Station, Nashville, Tenn.

Johnson, former proprietor of the 'Peoples' Linger Store, were Forrest Fortune, last week Wednesday and Thursday, asking for the appointment of a receiver. They based their claims on a mortgage given them by Johnson as security for goods purchased from them. The Peoples' Drug Company opposed the request for the appointment of receiver on the ground that he had prior creditors to them by John. The creditors claimed that this mortgage was no good. When the Jewish store-keepers up Central Ave., particularly, ask you "how much money you got," when you are making a purchase or about to pay them for something, do not tell them. So instruct your children when you send them to make purchases or to pay for anything, and neglect to pay for your children particularly, will often be charged more.

It is high time that the citizens of the black belt should cease to fatten the purses of others than those of their own race. It is a deplorable fact that a white man has but to open a restaurant or a saloon and let it be known that he will serve Colored patrons, when like sheep, they partly to please the people that their hard earned sheckels into his coffers. And what is the result when his fortune is made? He places his business interests elsewhere and does not fail to make it known that Negro patronage is undesirable.-Chicago Defender. This reminds us that it is said a white restaurant-keeper on Central Ave. has a similar place in the business section of this city, to which our people belong. We are not sure they are refused service. If the statement is true, a goodly number of our people have good cause to hang their heads in shame. Saturday evening, July 8, being the twenty-fifth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew F. Hilier, of Washington, D. C., a number of their neighbors and friends joined Hilier and his prompt surprise party which proved to be one of the most delightful occasions of the year. Mr. Hilier invited his bride of 25 years ago and their young daughter, Kathleen, to accompany him to a Cafe for dinner at 7 p. m. When the party returned home they found it dark. But as soon as Mrs. Hilier began to ascend the stairs the senior of the familiar strains of the bridal chorus from Lohrengin "Here Comes the Bride" played by Miss Mary L. Europe, greeted her ears. Looking up she saw the house filled with friends, who had come to offer their felicitation and to testify to their appreciation of her and Mr. Hilier. Mrs. Hilier was completely surprised, but rallied to the requirements of the occasion and took her place in the room of the most beautiful and the friends present. Great good humor prevailed throughout the evening. Everyone felt that it was good to be there. It is seldom one attends a social affair in Washington where the spirit of good feeling is so infectious and all pervading. It took possession of everybody Proof of loyalty, secretary of Bodyguard's best man at the wedding in 1886, was present and again officiated in that capacity. Many beautiful and costly presents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Hilier came to Cleveland, on their wedding tour and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Eubanks. They have many warm friends here among our older residents. All, including the heartiest invitations and best wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Hilier are among our best residents of the nation's capital.

God, Man's Dwelling Place A Sermon Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations — Psalm xc. 1. Home is the strongest instinct in man's nature. The psalmist has here brought God to our thought under the similitude of home. The text, viewed in this light, contains the loftest sentiment and the purest thought that has ever blest the spirit of man. God created us for himself and so long as we are away from him there can be no rest in our spirit; neither will God be reconciled until he wins us back to peace in him. The melancholy fact of history is our home-breaking with God. Adam was the prodigal who led his race away from God. But the old longing for home is still alive in the human heart, and home remains our nearest, finest word. Gor is at the genesis of our love of dwelling place. It is citizenship in him that men seek. It may not always name itself as such, but in its last analysis, that is its nature and its name. We are all conscious of this in our sober moments, and as we grow older we become more and more keenly alive to the fact. Then what are the essential ideas of home? They are locality, unity, refuge, defense, love, sympathy, sanctuary, peace, etc. These considerations are essential to the well-being of man. First, then, God adapts himself to our thought and declares himself to be a veritable, tangible locality—a habitation. In the Scriptures we read of the "Promised Land," the "City of the Great King," the "Father's House" and the "New Jerusalem." These are mere figures of speech to lead us on to something better. The psalmist here declares a great spiritual truth, and the text must be spiritually interpreted. But to the Jew everything was given in types. Abraham's bosom was the type of rest to the Hebrew. It was upon the breast of Jesus that the beloved Apostle John reclined. The bosom is conceived to be the seat of the sympathies and affections. So God is here represented to be the great Bosom—the great Home for weary children. This is his great fellowship, and nothing destroys men so long as they have great fellowship. Again, unity is an essential element in a home. This is perfect in the Defy. Refuge was the principal thought in the mind of Moses. Its meanings are: Shelter, harbor, retreat, high-tower, buttressed house for the protection of the homeless. God was all this to the ancient Hebrews. He surrounded his prophet with horses and chariots, with angels from Heaven; he fought for them by storm and fed them with bread from the sky; he spread abroad his shield and covered the people with his Scraps The best way to provide for the future is to make the most of the present. Even the story that is made out of whole cloth is easily torn to tatters. When it comes to accumulating cash a man never knows when he has enough. Even fannelette is sufficient to pull the wool over some folks' eyes. Envy is an obstacle to success and a destroyer of the enjoyment of any victory. Most men have splendid memories for forgetting that which is disagreeable to remember. The sternest lady in the land is getting off the soap box to look in at the spring bargains. Most folks worry about how long winter is to last, and then along comes spring to surprise them. Wit may make a good sauce, but it's too rich for a steady diet. The open road lined with the budding trees make us wish every day was Sunday at this time of the year. A rolllicking girl keeps a man's money on the go. Men laugh at trivialities, but let a girl overlook only one! If a girl is kind toward others of her sex, everybody thinks it's a role. The man who is afraid of being made ridiculous makes a good beginning by being afraid. Consider a good deed forgotten, once done, because everybody else will forget it. True love never welghed the soli- taire. The June bride supply is nearly gone. A summer weather friend is one that doesn't stick too close. Sometimes a man's prosperity inter- feres with his remembrance. A kind smile is not as welcome to some people as the one that draws the foam. power. Christ was to them as the shadow of a great rock in a desert land. Home means resting place, and in God every idea of home is complete. It is to this thought that Moses calls us back. There are still types of God among us today. Every true home in the world is filled with God and its true function is to keep us in memory of our "house not made with hands." The imperfect felicity of our life here often drives the heart to contemplate the life beyond in God our Saviour. Many of the world's greatest servants have been reared amid earthly bliss and ever thereafter denied the joy of perfect human love, that they might worship only God. So the imperfections of our homes here lead us toward God. We are all the while conscious that we may not make them absolutely proof against sin, disruption, dishonor, shame and dissolution, through alienation. We cannot insure them against the decay of time and the throes of mortality. The charmed circle is broken; the house grows old and lonesome, and at last but a heap of stones is left. Even the memories we retain are but the reflections of those things God gave, and refused to withdraw, through all of our prodigality. Our dwelling places here are therefore, but makeshifts till we get back to God. This is the lesson they are meant to teach—they are a cry for God. Again, all natural religion is but man's inner heartbeat for God. Each great conquest of man has been but a search for a better dwelling place. Nothing so deeply impressed the student of world history as the fact that upon every page of it he reads the sad, tragic story of man's homelessness for God. At this very time the nations of the whole earth seem converging toward a common center. The crises of the past have lent their power to a common cause, though in many cases they have done so all unconscious of what was to be the result. At any event, the peoples of the earth are about to discover, a catholic bond by which all are to become one family, and this bond of uniting is a recognition of the true God and the unity of the human race in him. The old philosophies and religions have not satisfied and are being torn away. The nationalism of a century ago has become the internationalism of today. Federation and union of effort and life is the watchword among the Christian churches of the world. Men used to palaces, luxury, ease and pride; men of fame and learning—these have realized that restlessness and its consequent weariness are not cured by the abundance of earthly belongings. So we are on a shift. It is all in one general direction. It is the beginning of the homeward drift. We have it written upon us somehow that there is beauty, and harmony,/ and righteousness, and peace, somewhere in this great universe for the soul. We believe, we all, that there is a great Bosom of sympathy and love somewhere, and a light, the glory of which can never fade away. Friend, it is with thy God. Seek it there. A live goose is worth more than a dead ancestor. What some lawyers don't know isn't worth lying about. Even pessimists can see the bright side of a silver dollar. Prevention is better than a cure. Poverty keeps off the gout. A man has to have a strong pull to equal that of a dull razor. A man may like a girl all the more because she seems to like him less. The affections of some women strike a man as being of the cold storage variety. It's easier to part a fool and his money than a wise man and his wisdom. Don't think because you close your eyes to your faults that your neighbors will do likewise. He who always does unto others as he would have others do unto him is an honest man—but he is scarce. Most people put off till tomorrow the favors they could do us today. When it comes to being tiresome there's nothing so tireless as a bore. Women who own henpecked husbands haven't very much to cackle over. When a girl starts out to kill time she doesn't put her toes kitchenward. And some men decline to practice what they preach because they need the money. One way to acquire trouble—marry it. But few people in the audience know what is going on behind the drop curtain, and it is probably just as well they don't.

St. Louis, Mo.—The meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, July 26-30, is the topic of discussion in every quarter of the city at the present time. The executive committee with Prof. R. H. Cole at its head, and Prof. C. H. Turner, secretary, is making ample preparations, both for the session of the association and the entertainment Of TIMELY TOPIC INT Houses and h chief interests of that a great many home life today, influenced by the and ideas of the differ vastly from Exposition—1. Cleansing the Land of Abominations, 1-7. Manasseh began to reign at an early age and reigned badly. Josiah began to reign at a still earlier age and reigned well. The wise man wrote, "Woe to thee, oh land, when thy king is a child" (Eccles, 10:16), and this is true as a general principle, but Josiah was an exception to the rule. What the earlier influences were that led Josiah into a different form of conduct from that pursued by his wicked father and wicked grandfather, we are not told, but further on in life it was the discovery of the long-ost law of God that led to the larger reformation in the kingdom. The account of Josiah's life and reign found in 2 K. 22, 23 should be read. The prophets Jeremiah and Zephian flourished in Josiah's time (Jer. 1:2, Zeph. 1:1). Doubtless they, especially Jeremiah, had a large influence over Josiah. Josiah began to reign a year younger than Josiah (2 Ch. 24:1); and the good part of his reign was due to the influence of Jehovah, a man of God. Of a few of Judah's kings it is said, "They did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord" (cf. ch. 14:2; 17:3, 29:2) Of many it is said, "They did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord." Very likely what of Josiah did that was ill to the influence of the Lord. Very rightly what of Josiah did that was ill to the influence of the Lord. One who please God must not turn aside from anything that God prescribes in his Word. Abundant blessing awaits everyone who obeys God (Ps. 16:14; 14:21; 23: Deut. 5:32; 11:4; 20:18; 28:14; 18:7, 8:26). The trouble with the average Christian is that he seeks simply to obey God in a general way, but feels at liberty to turn to the right hand or to the left from his Word when it suits his convenience. Josiah began while still young, sixteen years of age, to seek after the God of David his father. Happy is the man who cleanses his way by taking heed thereto according to God's Word (Ps. 119:9). The time to seek God is in early youth (Eccles, 12:1; 2 Tim. 3:15). The Lord will be found of those who seek him with all the heart (1 Ch. 28:9; 2 Ch. 15:2). At twenty years of age Josiah took up right heartly the work of religious reformation. He began with his own city and nation, but carried on his work way into Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon and even unto Naphalt. Hezekiah carried his reform into Ephraim and Manasseh (2 Ch. 30:1, 10, 11:1), but Josiah carried his reformation even farther and apparently more successfully (cf. 2 Kings 23:15-20). Josiah did not return to Jerusalem until he had finished his work. 2. The Restoration of the Temple, 8-13. It apparently took some years to carry out the work of reformation in the land. At twenty-six years of age Josiah undertook the restoration of the temple. The names of the men whom Josiah appointed as leaders in this work are worth noticing. They, and their sons, and granddons figured in the future history of Israel. Some of their sons seem to have followed in the footsteps of their fathers, but some to have departed from them. In two cases very notably (cf. 2 K. 22:3, 12, 14; Jer. 26:24; 36:10; 39:14; 40:11; Ezek 8:11; Jer. 21:1; 29:21, 25). No one who really loves God can endure to see the house set apart for him lying in ruin. Contributions for the work had been gathered not only from Judah, Benjamin and Jerusalem, but from Manasseh and Ephraim as well. It was a national undertaking. The godly king had associated with him the godly high priest Hillkik (vs. 14, 15, 18, 20, 22. The money was handed over to the workmen (v. 10; cf. 2 K. 22:5:8). It was used rightly, to do the actual work. Altogether too often money which is given for one purpose in God's work is actually used for another purpose. Walls and rafters of the temple had been removed (v. 11, R. V.) presumably in the introduction of the false gods and images into the temple (cf. ch. 33:4:7, 22). The men did the work in the way that all who work for God ought to do their work, "faithfully," so faithfully that there was no need of any reckoning being made with them (2 Kings 22:7). They did their work as unto the Lord and not as eye-servants (cf. Eph. 6:5, 6). The overseers of the work were Levites, the family chosen out of all the families of Israel because of their faithfulness to Jehovah, when the other tribes of Israel proved faithless (Ex. 22:26-28). HOLLYHOCKS ON HATS. There is nothing demure about this season's millinery, as witness the fact that hollyhocks, as well as sunflowers, are the new and important flowers to go on all kinds of hats. The hollyhocks are placed in an upright stalk at the side of a high-crowned hat, in the same way we are now using straight wired plumes. WHITE OF EGG. The white of a raw egg is the most satisfactory of pastes. Papers used for covering down jam will hold securely and be quite airtight if brushed over on the inside with the white of an egg. The white of an egg is also used for mending glass or china ornaments, but of course it will not stand water. Still, it is not always necessary that a cement should do this and the white of an egg has the merit of being quite as imperceptible when dry, PREPARATIONS FOR THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION AT ST. LOUIS. St. Louis, Mo.—The meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, July 26-30, is the topic of discussion in every quarter of the city at the present time. The executive committee with Prof. R. H. Cole at its head, and Prof. C. H. Turner, secretary, is making ample preparations, both for the session of the association and the entertainment of the delegate. Mr. J. R. T. Lee of Tuskegee, the corresponding secretary, has been in the city a part of the week, in conference with the executive committee and the various local committees concerning matters bearing upon the coming session. From a review of the program it is evident that from the very start and at every session, some of the most vital topics are to be handled by the very best educators of the race. The closing meeting is to be held in the Coliseum. This is the place where the most noted men of the country have spoken, among them Hon. W. J. Bryan, President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt and Explorer Robert E. Peary. Ten thousand people are expected to attend this closing session. The speakers are: State Superintendent of Education Hon. M. P. Evans and Dr. Booker T. Washington. Governor Hadley has also been invited. Mr. Lee, the corresponding secretary, was greatly pleased with the outlook of the meeting. He was unstinted in his praise of the equipment of our public schools. Although the schools will not be in session, Mr. Lee says that it is worth a trip to St. Louis to see the magnificent and splendidly equipped summer high school, costing nearly $500,000—having every possible accommodation for the education of colored young men and women of St. Louis. The eyes of the whole county, educationally, are turned toward St. Louis. LEWIS CONFIRMED WITHOUT DIVISION OPPOSITION DID NOT DEVELOP STRENGTH. Washington, D. C.—When all was in readiness for action, the confirmation of William Henry Lewis, as assistant attorney general of the United States, went through as slick as if it had been greased. The opposition melted into thin air. The vote was taken without debate and Mr. Lewis was confirmed without division. It was a big victory for the brilliant young man who has worked his way upward through fidelity to right principles and unfragging industry. After all is said and done, a large measure of the credit for Mr. Lewis' confirmation belongs to Mr. Lewis himself. Throughout the long battle he bore himself with dignity. He kept his lips shut tight, studied Indian depredation claims, went in and won a difficult case for the government without noise or bluster, and with tact and finesse put a quietus on the claim of the timorous that he was seeking social equality. All found him to be a man of poise, sound sense and legal ability of the highest order. NEGRO MORTGAGES HIS HOME TO PAY DEBT TO ORPHAN NEGRO MORTGAGES HIS HOME TO PAY DEBT TO ORPHAN Macon, Ga—Dr. J. T. Barton lost $405 belonging to an orphan boy, a ward of his. The money was found by Phil Chapman and Charles Anderson, two negroes, who spent $200 and hid the remainder in a hole in the latter's garden. They were tried before the recorder, but released. Thereupon, Anderson gave Mr. Barton a mortgage on his house in payment of the $200, so that the little orphan would not suffer. The negro's action was generally commended. GREAT MEN TALL AND SHORT. A recent investigator has attempted to show that Lombroso and his followers were wrong in asserting that men of genius were of small stature. Of 230 individuals of enmine he found that figures were obtainable for 103; of these sixteen were of middle height, fifty-eight above and twenty-nine below. Americans particularly combined greatness with inches. Jefferson and Jackson were more than six feet tall. Sumner was six feet four inches, and Washington, Lincoln and Beecher were more than six feet. Among famous foreigners Tolstoy was a large man, and so were Thackeray, Bismarck and Darwin. On the contrary, many of the world's greatest geniuses were undersized and even deformed. Napoleon, Pope, Pope, Alexander the Great, Nelson, Blake and Caesar were small men. After all is said, genius is no respecter of rules.—New York American. A sailor had just shown a lady over the ship. In thinking him she said: "I am sorry to see by the rules that tips are forbidden on your ship." "Lor' bless you, ma'm," repiled the sailor, "so were apples in the Garden of Eden."—The Caledonian. "Yes, Reginald, I am yours." "But will your mother give her consent?" "Oh, mother is too sensible to waste her time opposing a summer engagement." — Louisville Courier Journal. TIMELY TOPICS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN Houses and homes are one of the chief interests of men despite the fact that a great many say there is no home life today. But even these are influenced by the times, and the tastes and ideas of the present generation differ vastly from those of their parents. Homes as they used to be still exist in country districts, but life in flats and hotels seems to be the craze of today. Stern critics set this down as a sign of the times and as a proof of national decadence. But in real fact it is more a result of hard work and of the strenuous life that is lived in the twentieth century. Flats have their drawbacks. They lack space, quiet and to a certain extent privacy. On the other hand, flat life has its charms; it needs fewer servants than a house, entails less expense, and to a lone woman affords a certain protection. Also—and this counts for much—one knows the limit of one's expenses. A woman can live in comfort in a flat with her maid and a cook, who, if she had a house, would have work for at least five servants. And if her maid will consent to answer the doorbell and bring in tea in the afternoon, the little menage may be a perfect success. Hotel life is, of course, the best if one wishes to do away with housekeeping. And at private hotels, with a set of rooms, a fair amount of quiet can be secured. Here again the want of space may be a grievance, but the public rooms of a hotel can be used at one's good will and pleasure. This sort of life, with its freedom from petty cares, appeals to women who do much brain work. It is the fashion to say that people who live in flats or at hotels become selfish and frivolous. But a busy woman seldom frivolous, even if she is brought into touch with others less likely to be selfish than if she lived in old-world retirement. However, even now, to some the woman's house is her castle. EVENING FLOWERS The fact that this is to be a great flower year is foreshadowed not only by the embroideries that decorate the dresses but by the artificial blossoms that adorn so many of the trains, among them carnations, sweet peas, water lilies, geraniums and myriads of roses. The new way with embroidery flowers is to cut the petals out of silk, satin and velvet and fix them against the train, leaving some to fall outward so that they look as if they were natural blossoms. The padded flower is also very much seen, and is employed for the embellishment of panels. It is the opinion of the women of today that the large and heavy bouquet not only incommodes its owner but hides her frock. QUEEN MARY'S EARRINGS It is because Queen Mary is never seen without earrings that so many smart women of today are wearing them. Her majesty has a really fine collection of these ornaments, some of which are of great historic interest. Many fine pairs were bequeathed to the queen by her late mother, Mary, duchess of Teck, who also had a great penchant for earrings. For day wear the queen usually favors short earrings, generally of single stones which rest on the ear, but in the evening she adopts the pictuques long shape. Her ears are pierced in old fashioned style, and she will have nothing to do with the screw fastenings which are almost universally used today. VEILS. Now that the handsome lace and embroidery vells are worn so much, women who are sufficiently skilled in needlework should do the decorative part themselves and thus save money. The foundation is a plain Brussels net, the thread employed a fine embroidery silk. The pattern is placed under the net and traced with the needle and thread. The transfer papers that are sold for the ordinary embroidery will answer, but the hot iron is not necessary. Just baste net and pattern together and when complete snip the basting threads. FLANNEL ON HEMS Many little annoyances incurred by the home dressmaker may be avoided by a judicious use of interlining. The filmsiness of light evening dresses may be remedied by sewing within the hem a stripe of light flannel in a shade that will not change the color of the dress. This will weigh the skirt down without adding superfluous bulk. HINTS ABOUT SERVANTS FOR THE HOSTESS Give your guests every attention. Do not scold and make the maids nervous. Arrange matters before the arrival of your guests. Be at your ease, and thus put every one at their ease. Give the cook and waitress each a copy of list to be served. The instructions as to linen, silver and glass should be clear. Superintending of the setting of the table, should be done early. Make light of accidents, which in most cases are really accidents. Try to remember these rules when you feel most in need of them, for they will lift you over many a breach which might make many more than yourself and servants uncomfortable, and will earn for you in the end nothing but a just meed of praise for your self-possession. QUEEN MARY'S TABLEWAR. Queen Mary's pantry at Windsor is said to contain the most valuable collection of tableware in the world. Every reign since Queen Elizabeth's has contributed to the collection, which is stored in two rooms. The walls are lined with cases made of plate glass and mahogany, with similar cases occupying the center of each room. The most imposing thing in these two rooms is the dinner service of solid gold used only for dinners of the highest state. There is a table of solid silver three feet in length. A rosewater fountain of silver has a dome supported on columns around which are grouped horses and hounds. A silver gilt flagon almost a yard high is said to have been saved from the Armada. A pair of bellows mounted in silver and gold was once the property of Nell Gwyn. There is a massive pair of fireogs in solid silver made for Charles II. and a huge punch bowl was contributed by George IV.—New York Sun. INGENIOUS HOSTESS. The hostess who has experienced the confusion of seating a large number of guests at small tables will appreciate the device of one woman who accomplished it gracefully. The guests were to be seated in several rooms at tables holding six and four. The hostess made an alphabet list of guests and hung it in the hall. Opposite the name of each woman was the number of the table and the room in which it was set. On the tables each having its separate floral piece, was a number cut from gilt paper and placed in the center of flowers so it could be quickly seen. Place cards were used, as at an ordinary luncheon. SMALL CAKES AND LOAF CAKES. Angel food is a popular loaf cake for ceremonious occasions, and it is a cake that is equally nice baked in small forms. A good recipe is made with a cup as a measuring base, one cupful of granulated sugar, and one of pastry flour sifted four times, one of white of eggs, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, the same of vanilla; a pinch of salt added to eggs before beating. Beat eggs very light, then add the sugar and vanilla; fold in the flour, which has had the cream of tartar sifted in it. It is best not to stir the cake much after adding the flour. FOR BATTLING WINDOWS. In some houses the windows have an unpleasant habit of rattling at all times of the day and night, whenever it is the least bit wind. In such a case an ordinary clothes neg is most effective. peg is most effective. It must be split in halves and one half inserted on either side between the framework and the window, says Home Chat. A good plan is to paint the clothes peg the same color as the window frame and secure the pieces by a cord and screw to the frame, so that they will be in readiness when needed. SUMMER COIFFURE. Young girls this summer are parting the hair in front, or brushing it back in a soft, unrattled pompadour and arranging the ends in a chignon of little puffs or curls at the back of the head. A broad band of black velvet or of satin ribbon in the color of the frock is then passed over the top of the head and under the chignon at the back and tied in a rosette bow just over the left ear. This classic arrangement is very becoming to a pretty face, and serves also to keep riotous locks in order on the tennis court and in the sailboat. STRAWBERRY SARABANDE Whip one cup of cream tfvi very stiff and light; cut one pint of strawberries into small bits with a silver knife, and stir them lightly into the cream. Soak one tablespoonful of granulated gelatine in one-fourth cup cold water, and when soft place over the steam tea kettle till dissolved; add by degrees to cream and berries stirring and adding three tablespoonsful of powdered sugar; when the mixture begins to thicken turn it into a wetted mold and set away to cool. Serve with lady fingers and macaroons. PLAINT OF AN EX-EMPRESS. Ex-Empress Engenie, widow of Napoleon III., celebrated her eighty-fifth birthday several days ago. She is reported to have said lately: "I am a poor woman who has lived much and suffered much. I am as one walking backwards, facing the horizon which he has crossed already. I have renounced the future. I live in my youth and my past. All else is but a shadow—a dark shadow. LONG HOODS ON SHORT COATS. There is no decrease in the popularity of long V-shaped hoods on short coats. They are made of the material itself or of satin or silk in the same color as the coat, but they are faced with a vivid silk and held down by a thick tassel. MILLINERY HELP. To rejuvenate last year's violets, shake all the dust out of the discarded bunches, which adorned last year's hat, and even the most forlorn and faded will respond to the magic touch of the paint brush. Separate them and apply a touch of water color to each petal. The result is highly satisfactory. When dry mass them together with several green leaves which also have been "touched up," tie with a strand of tulle or a cord of purple silk LADY'S WAIST. 5515 This plain little waist is cut with the Kimono shoulder, but is eased by an underarm gore. The neck is round in French style, and is trimmed with a Quaker collar. The sleeves have cuffs to correspond. Cotton volle, marquisette, batiste, lawn, linen or pouge may be used in making this waist. The pattern (5515) is cut in sizes 32 to 44 inches, bust measure. Medium size requires 2% yards of 36 inch material. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper.

NINE GORE PLAITED SKIRT. 4940 This skirt gives us a novel arrangement of the gores. It is now customary to trim all skirts a good deal, not with added trimming, but with pleeings, panels, plaitings and the like, and in the model illustrated we have an excellent example of this style. Five of the gores are plain and extend the full length of the skirt, but between each two plain gores there is one which is cut across, diagonally, half way down and the lower portion made with a plaiting. This gives us a reversed box plait in the back and here the closing is placed, concealed in the usual way. This model will be found appropriate for panama, brillantine, serge, tailor mixtures, satin, taffetas, messaline, foulard, ponge, linen, and many other wash materials. The pattern (4940) is cut in sizes 22 to 32 inches, waist measure. Medium size requires 4½ yards of 44 inch material.

One produced by the Prince Consort is a subject of inquiry in the current Notes and Queries. The Court Journal of September 23, 1865, mentions that the Prince Consort made a special study of Balmoral. By his directions and largely with his assistance a book on the Balmoral country, topographical, botanical, geological, descriptive and reminiscent, was compiled. It was beautifully printed by an eminent London firm, but by the Prince's strict orders only six copies were struck off. Is there a single copy now in existence?
