TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 4. M Photograph by Hummel, from Underwood & Underwood. BAG FOR DRESSES OR HATS|SHOES FOR LONG TRAMPS IN VULON THERE IS STRONGTH TWENTY-NINTH "Liberty B Photograph by Hummel, from THIS piquante and patriotic article of headwear in both comfortable and becoming. It is the first of the fall fashions to reach these shores from France, where it was especially designed for the "Les Belles filles Americas." Makes for Comfort in Traveling, and Also Preserves the Articles Enclosed. A scheme which a girl will find a great comfort in any place where she has insufficient closet space is a bag to hold her hat or her dress. In traveling it is well to take one or more of these bags, and in a camp they are almost indispensable. A girl can very quickly make all she wants of them, and if she wants to economize space they can be made of silkline, which folds up into the smallest kind of a package, is light in weight and very inexpensive. For a hat, make a bag three-quarters of a yard deep and half a yard wide, with a drawing string at the top. The bag is hung up by this string and the hat is kept free from dust and out of the way. This measurement is for a hat of ordinary size; if your hat is an unusually large one the bag must be larger. For a dress the bag should be about five inches longer than the dress itself, the width being a little more than enough to slide the dress in easily. When camping it is best to put one's traveling dress and hat into these bags and leave them there, for they are seldom wanted until one is ready to leave. In making the bags for camping there are some advantages in using cretonne instead of silkline. Being so much thicker, it keeps out the dampness better, and it is often damp enough in a tent to have a rather disastrous effect on a hat. SIMPLE AND ATTRACTIVE This simple waist is of marquisette or volle trimmed with a beautiful lace or embroidery and fastening at the side with buttons and loops. The sleeves, cut in one piece with the body of the waist, are trimmed to correspond. To Pull Bastings. Few persons know that an ordinary orangewood stick, 'such as is used for the nails, is the best instrument for removing bastings. A scissors when used is very apt to cut or tear the earment. Procure the stick at any ug store. THE GAZETTE The shape of the hat clearly resembles that of the historic liberty bell. The material is a rich brown plush and the willow plume is white above, shading off into a hue matching that of the season's favorites. It is one of the season's favorites. Highly Important Part of Equipment When a Girl Contemplates "Roughing It." Girls who have had little experience in outdoor life often do some foolish things when they begin to try this form of enjoyment. One way in which many of them interfere with their comfort is by going on a tramp with the wrong kind of shoes. A girl who has played tennis and found the soft, rubber soled shoes comfortable will think that they will surely help her to enjoy a tramp; but they are the last thing to wear for a long walk, as these girls have found to their cost. They come home with their feet aching and the calves of the legs tired out from the lack of the spring that is given by heels. Walking with a flat, heelless shoes on a rough road is extremely trying, and one can feel every stone through the soft rubber soles; and these tired feet and legs will feel even worse the next day. Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are low shoes with thin soles and high heels. These tire the feet and may sprain the ankles. The only shoes that are really satisfactory for "roughing it" are strong high shoes with thick soles. The strongest ankles need support in rough walking, and it is often wet in the woods. The girl who has once tried the two ways of tramping will never again be persuaded to wear low or thin shoes. Paris Bridesmaid Gowns A shepherdess effect was shown in four bridesmaid gowns recently turned out by Paris makers. The underslips were of a thin white silk trimmed with scattered wreaths, about the size of a saucer, of tiny pink roses. Over these fell tunics of pale blue chiffon, which mellowed the flowers until they were the dimmest blush. The broad hats were wreathed with the posies held by a vast butterfly of thin white lace, and there were small knots of the buds on the blue slippers. Suit Coats. Suit jackets for autumn and winter will remain close fitting about the hips and hold to the straight line form. At present there is no arbitrary decree regarding the length Models considerably shorter than the 26-inch length, and somewhat longer also, are among the new models. But the length mentioned is a happy medium. The feeling is that with the approach of winter the tendency will be to lengthen the jacket, with perhaps a revision to the short effects again in the spring. Hunter Green. As the season advances the vogue for emerald green noticeable for some months past appears to be on the decline, hunter green, a softer, more pleasing tone, being substituted. Scarfs of hunter green satin are draped around the crowns of outing hats of Panama and peanut braid and gracefully looped at one side. Scarfs of striped and checked silk, such as may be found at the neckwear shops, are also utilized as drapery for outing hats. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. RACE PREJUDICE BEING FOUGHT BY EDUCATORS Noted Men Meet in London as Delegates to First Universal Race Congress. BETTER FEELING IS URGED PROF. FELIX ADLER, OF NEW YORK, HEAD OF ETHICAL CULTURE MOVEMENT IN AMERICA, ONE OF THE VICE-PRESIDENTS. London, England.—Leading sociologists, educators, scientists, statesmen and scholars, representatives of all races and of more than a score of civilizations met in London in the first Universal Races congress, which is designed to bring about closer relations between Occident and Orient, to hasten the movement toward international brotherhood, and to combat that prejudice of race which sets white against black and yellow and divides humanity into warring factions. "For East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," sang Kipling, and it is this common sentiment of humanity at large that the congress organized hopes to dissipate. Special treatment was accorded to the mighty problem of the contact of European, American and other developed types, including the Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Turkish, Persian and Negro. English, French, German and Italian were the official languages of the congress. Resolutions of a political character were excluded from the deliberations. The object of the congress, as set forth by Lord Weardale, the president, is expressed in the following statement: "To discuss, in the light of modern knowledge and the modern conscience, the general relation subsisting between the people of the west and those of the east, between so-called white and so-called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier cooperation." The program of the first session dealt with "Meaning of Race and Nation," and included the presentation of papers by Brajendranth Seal, an Indian educator; Dr. Felix von Luscan, of the University of Berlin; Prof. Foullee, of the Institute of France, and G. Spiller, of London, author of "The Mind of Man." At the second session papers were presented by John M. Robertson, M. P., of London; Dr. T. Rhys Davids, of the University of Manchester; Dr. Guiseppe Sergi, of the University of Rome; Sister Nivedita, of India, and M. Joseph Deniker, of Paris. Lord Weardale presided at the congress, and Lord Aveybury is the vicepresident. The honorary vicepresidents include all the members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and of the second Hague conference, the presidents of the parliaments of nearly all of the leading nations of Europe, Asia and South America, and many governors, ambassadors and other prominent government officials of various nations. The United States was represented in this list by the United States ambassador to Japan. The executive committee was headed by the Hon. William P. Reeves. Prof. Felix Adler, of New York, head of the Ethical Culture movement in America, is president of the honorary general committee, and Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, of Paris, who recently toured America in the interest of international peace, is one of the vice presidents. Represented on this committee are members of the faculties of the leading institutions of learning throughout the world, including Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Bryn Mawr, Illinois, Western Reserve, Wellesley, Johns Hopkins, Smith, Clark, Columbia, Chicago, Cornell, Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue, Brown, Southern California, Wisconsin, Williams, Atlanta, Denver, Missouri, Tufts, Bowdoin, Syracuse, California, Amherst, Texas, Iowa, Hebrew Union, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Colorado, Louisiana, St. Louis, Rutgers, Carolina and Indiana. The sessions were held in the central building of the University of London, and it was a notable gathering of the "intellectuals" of all nations that assembled in the spacious hall. Europeans and Americans of all types, swarthy Indians and Malays, negroes of all shades and yellow-skinned representatives of the culture and learning of the far east mingled and met on the basis of a common humanity and a common aim. Two notable papers were contributed by Americans. Dr. E. B. DuBois, the author of "Souls of Black Folk," and perhaps the most scholarly negro in the world, wrote a monograph on "The Negro in America," and Dr. Charles A. Eastman prepared a paper on "The American Indian." The congress, the first of its kind in the world's history, had its origin in a suggestion made some four years ago by Dr. delix Adler, of New York. Speaking at a congress in Eisenach, he suggested the desirability of a great international meeting of the races to ascertain how far it was possible to bring the enlightened conscience of the modern world to bear on the problems presented by racial divisions. Since man was man, the yellow black and white races have clashed in a chillin' ways, the differences of religion, language and custom being added to the natural animosities between men of different races and color. Few of those in attendance at the meeting believe or hope that there will ever be social equality between the nffsses of the white, yellow and black races. Strict justice, however, is held to be possible, and the fraternity of men of intellect who have outgrown the petty prejudices which it is alleged, are part and parcel of the mental processes of the childhood of humanity, and which the great majority of people of all races have not outgrown. The hatred of "white devils" in China is of a piece with the detestation of "Chinks" in America and Europe, declared a speaker. Transient political questions and theological problems were not discussed during the congress. Eight half-day sessions were held, with general themes as follows: 1. "Fundamental Considerations—Meaning of Race and Nation." 2. "General Conditions of Progress." 3. "Peaceful Contact Between Civilizations." 4. "Special Problems in Inter-Racial Economics." 5-6. "The Modern Conscience in Relation to Racial Questions." 7-8. "Positive Suggestions for Promoting Jute-Racial, Friendliness." One of the most interesting sessions was that in which papers were presented by Wu Ting,Fang, late Chinese ambassador to the United States; Sumitaka Haseba, president of the Japanese house of representatives; Said Bey, president of the legislative section of the Turkish council of state; Moh. Sourn Bey, of the Cairo court of appeals; Gen. Jlegitime, former president of Halifat Sir Sydney Olliver, governor of Jamaica; M. H. LaFonteine, president of the international peace bureau; Frederick C. Croxon, chief statistician of the United States immigration commission, and others. The proceedings will be published in book form, in both English and French, and will constitute a compendium of information on all phases of the ice question. ANOTHER COLLEGE TURNED OVER TO NEGRO MANAGERS (By HORACE D. SLATTER) (JBY HORACE D. SLATTER) Jackson, Miss.—In keeping with its policy of turning its large negro schools over to the management of negroes as soon as practicable, the American Baptist Home Mission society has recently named Z. T. Hubert president of Jackson college, located here. This fact, together with the installation of Prof. John Hope, president of Atlanta Baptist college, and turning over Roger Williams university to the negroes, gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of the negroes in the south, whom for so long a time it has helped and educated. Professor Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the educated young negro, succeeds Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for seventeen years. By his coming an all negro faculty will be in charge of the work of Jackson college. The new president was born and reared in Georgia and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college, the Massachusetts Agricultural college and Boston university. His experience as a teacher in the State Agricultural college of Florida and his long business connection with the Home Mission schools in Atlanta commended him to the society as the man peculiarly fitted for the work in Mississippi. U. S. TAKES CHARGE OF LIBERIAN FINANGES ASSUMES CONTROL OF CUSTOMS OF THE COLORED REPUBLIC TO PAY $1,500,000 LOAN FROM UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE—LIBERIA INDEPENDENCE IN THE BALANCE Washington, D. C.—After several months of negotiations with the republic of Liberia, whose ship of state has been pounding on the financial rocks for some time, and with a number of European powers, the American government has finally concluded a program looking to the rehabilitation of the finances of that country through American supervision of the customs service. The terms of the contract for the loan of $1,500,000 have been definitely agreed upon by the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France. The American government undertakes the supervision of the customs service by which the loan is to be guaranteed. Reed Paige Clark of Vermont was selected by President Taft to be appointed by the Liberian government as general receiver of customs for the republic. A WAY OUT.

"Wise men hesitate—only fools are certain," he observed in the course of a conversation with his tender spouse. "I don't know about that," she said testily. "Well, I am certain of it!" he exclaimed. And for a long time he was puzzled to understand why she burst out laughing at him.—Smart Set. The ice man is perfectly willing to let his customers take the cake. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS No institutions have more keenly felt the effects of the increased cost of living than have our church schools. They have been caught between two fires as it were; they have had to pay more for supplies and equipment than ever before, and yet the general stringency precludes the possibility of charging any more than formerly for the advantages and opportunities offered to the student. Many of these schools will, through the efforts of their managers and directors, levy a heavier assessment on the general public and especially on the various churches who support them. This policy may tide them over for a while—but only for a while. And, further, this policy may lead in time to that condition of "riding a free horse to death." It occurs to us that one sensible plan for these institutions to follow is this: Many of them own from 30 to 150 acres of land. This land has played played only a subordinate part in the support of these institutions. Why not make this land productive? Use it as a support to the school and as a means of giving the school the best sort of education? Schools owning this land could in touch with the agricultural department of the government or with some experiment school in ways other than on paper. These schools draw largely upon country districts for their students. What finer opportunity could be desired for training "in right methods" of farming? This education could and should be a part and a real part of the work done. We appreciate the difficulties that these schools have to face. A dozen youngsters come up from the country with the most preposterous ideas about education and life. If they are turned loose on a course leading through algebra, Latin, French and Greek, they are happy and so are their parents. Their loyalty and support are assured. If these youngsters should be introduced to the plow, and other farming paraphernalia, it is just possible that there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth on the part of both students and parents. Herole beginning of this sort may be postponed from time to time, as has been the case in the past, but events are gradually showing the need of just such a start. We were in conversation recently with one of the promoters of a denominational school. This denomination has bought and paid for 50 acres of land near a growing city. Buildings have been erected and work will begin in the fall. My informant regretted that in electing a principal, they had to elect a man who is only a normal graduate. Next year, he thought, they would send and get a man versed in Greek Hebrew, German and French: "Now don't that beath—ill" we said to our friend that 50 acres of land could be developed into a model farm helping to defray the expenses of the school and giving valuable instruction in work that the world wants and is willing to pay for. Another fact worthy of note in this connection is this: Within a radius of a hundred miles of the town where this new school is to be erected there are eight denominational schools, all doing identically the same sort of work. Two of them are giving and are prepared to give training in the higher branches of education. The others are for the most part doing the work of well-organized and efficient country schools, and are not doing it nearly so well. Our activity in establishing new schools—schools that duplicate the work of one another—suggests a possible result similar to that in the story of Midas. This latter got all the gold he wanted, but all of his gold was absolutely worthless and injurious to him—Dallas Express. We fear sometimes that those who are endeavoring to educate themselves and their children, or who are trying to make progress in various ways, have in mind the effort to bring themselves and their children to a point of superiority over others, rather than the keeping in mind the fact that this education is for lifting the particular individuals that the whole people may be lifted higher. The proper progress is made only when all education, for whatever people, has for its end and purpose the betterment in a larger way of a race and individual. Education that is selfish is no education at all.—Negro School News. Army officers are really the dictators as to what enlisted men shall stand for promotion, and they are not in the main in favor of the promotion of enlisted men, white or black. They stickle for the West Point graduation in the officers, and negroes have so much trouble getting into West Point as cadets and out of it as officers that only three have done so—H. O. Flipper, Charles Young and J. W. Alexander. Major Young is now the only West Pointer we have in the army. Army officers should have less power over the designations of enlisted men for promotion—Rochester Sentinel. Every member of the Afro-American race should resolve to be a monitor, and see to it that every other one of us behave and deport ourselves as becoming a lady or gentleman in every particular. Such a crusade as this will go a long way to solve the problem and help us in ways we little dream of at present. There in infinitely too much laxity along that line among us as a race variety in this city, and who knows but what much discrimination and prejudice on the part of the white people against the race has had its rise in that fact.—Philadelphia Courant. A white preacher from somewhere in the south has written a book in which he attempts to incite division between the blacks and yellows of the race, claiming the light shades are gobbling all the best places in life from the darker ones. He calls the dark people to arise in mutiny and annihilate their yellow kindred—Cincinnati Pilot. "Is dat Ca'line Jackson?" asked a masculine voice at the far end of the phone. "Yes, dis am her," was the response. "Well, Ca'line, will you mary me 'bout nex' Sadday night?" "Cose I will," returned the courted one, 'if I could git my weddin' dress ready. Who is you?" Hot headed, rowdy negroes would do well to take the advice given from time to time in these columns to be careful in all their conduct, be polite to everybody, both white and black, and in all cases attend only to their own business, thus keeping out of trouble.—Orange (S. C.) Recorder. The Freeman is firmly of the opinion that if affairs are conducted rightly in the home that all will end well, even the conduct of the children who may be temporarily absent from home and far away from their parents.—Indianapolis Freeman. Years ago when colored women looked after the cleanliness of stores, residences, offices, etc., almost exclusively, they were referred to as scrubwomen. White women nowadays who perform the same service are referred to as care-takers. When a colored man gets a few tables, knives, forks, stoves and chairs together and opens up, he calls his place an eating house. A white man possessed of the same paraphernalia calls his place a cafe. The colored man gets together his shaving effects and he has a barber shop. Under the same circumstances a white man declares he has a torsional parlor, and thus it is the "man and brother" is playing the minors in the music, but time shows that he is stepping up.—Dallas Express. At the recent commencement at Wilberforce university there were 72 graduates for diplomas and certificates as follows: Classical, 4; scientific, 1; academic, 5; theological, 9; normal, 15; commercial, 11; sewing, 9; vocal music, 13; millinery, 15; domestic science, 10; shoemaking, 1.

Mr. Hill's family thinks he is insane. When Hill is caught—as he will be—his lawyer will probably file a plea of insanity. We're imitating the white folks right along. The preacher should be a moral teacher and a moral doer; a man to lead the people by teaching them what is right, and setting the cleanest and unblemished examples before them, then their followers would be a greater per cent, the better. But, if some of our ministers carouse and practice all manner of immorality, how do they expect to face a congregation, rebuke them about their wrong-doing and sin? This class of ministers must get right themselves before advising the people. —Palestine Plaindealer.

THE GEORGIA MASSACRE. The so-called "race war" near Donaldsonville, Georgia, the first of the week, was in reality nothing less than another wholesale massacre of Negroes, on the order of that terrible Palestine, Texas, massacre of a year or two ago. For several days, and nights bands of white brutes scoured the country in the vicinity of Donaldsonville, killing and whipping Negroes and burning their churches, lodge rooms and schoolhouses, and seemed determined to run every Negro out of that section of the state. Well-informed persons say at least ten dead Negroes were counted in the woods. Nearly 100 were whipped and at least a dozen churches, lodge rooms and school houses were burned. The glaring attempt of the dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country, to justify or excuse the barbaric demonstration and slaughter, was so thin that any intelligent reader could easily "see through it." The fact is that Georgia did not propose to be outdone in the lynch-murder "business" by the Oklahoma and Pennsylvania lynch murders of last week. When the whole truth reaches the news-surface if it ever does, it will be found that many more than ten Negroes were killed in this Donaldsonville massacre and many more buildings were destroyed that the aforementioned dispatches to the daily papers, announced. Words fall us, to properly characterize this latest southern horror. ELKS' GRAND OFFICERS!

The "Black Prince," Known as Most Famous Pickpocket in the World, Again in New York. New York City—Alfred Laxdale, said by the police to be one of the most successful crooks in the world, is here again after an absence of five years. Laxdale, who is a Negro of courtly manner, has piled his profession from Maine to California and in times of stress "jumped over the pond" to try the European capitals. Laxdale has long had the sobriquet of "The Black Prince." He is 48 years old and comes from Sidney, N. S. W. He is known to the police of the two continents also as Alfred Woods and James Ragsdale. He takes pride in the fact that notwithstanding his trade and the color of his skin he is at heart "a square man." Laxdale performed the feat one day many years ago of "Hifting $175,000 to touch," as he was when he was young in his prison. Now he is a sufferer from solitary rheumatism. The almament brought him to New York. He returned about three weeks ago for treatment, coming here after witnessing the coronation of King George and dining in London with Champion Jack Johnson. Weighed 650 Pounds. Toronto, Ont., Can.-Mrs. Sellia Campbell, the largest woman in the world, died here last Saturday. She toured with a circus for six years. At that time she weighed 650 pounds, but of late had failed considerably, weighing only 350 pounds at the time of her death. She weighed 450 pounds, and a sister weighed 450 pounds. Both were members of the race. EDWARD W. DISSETTE, ESQ. Candidate for a Republican Nomination for Municipal Judge, Subject to the Primary, Sept 5, 1911. Edward W.

He is a member of the Missouri Attorney Dissette is one of the candidates for Municipal Judge (for the four-year term) that our voters should not fail to remember to vote for on the 5th of Sept. His friendship for the race is of the kind that moves him to act and do for us when ever he can, without being asked to. These are the kind of friends that are most valuable and certainly the kind to help into public office whenever we have been born or where we fore The Gazette does not hesitate to recommend Capt. Dissette in the strongest possible manner to all of our voters and all others. WM. J. SHAW. ESQ.. A Leading Candidate for the Council in the 19th Ward. The new 19th ward is well supplied with candidates who wish to serve it in the City Council. Among the six aspirants for this place is Wm. J. Shaw. If Mr. Shaw is successful in being elected to represent the new 19th ward in Cleveland's City Council, the interest of the ward will be well taken care of. While the position is one of great importance, Mr. Shaw is well qualified to fill it. His training and education have been such as to especially adapt him for the performance of the duties of a councilman. He is 38 years of age and after completing the course in the high school of the town in which he was born, he attended and graduated from the Greenspring Academy, an institution formerly connected with Adelbert At the age of 23 he was admitted to the practice of law in Ohio, having completed a full law course at Western Reserve University, and soon after being admitted to the bar he opened a law office in Cleveland. Mr. Shaw has remained in Cleveland ever since and has always taken an active part in politics and is well known politically in the territory now comprising the 19th ward, where he has lived for 15 years.

Croke, one of the Republican candidates for Judge of the Municipal Court for the four-year term, has issued a statement, setting forth the policy which the next court should follow to accomplish the ends for which it was created. He would make the rules of court so simple and easily understood that any party to a trial could try his own case. He would make provision to have one of the courtrooms set off for the speedy trial of cases where small amounts are involved, and where the judge would act as the interim presides. He would prevent the court being used as a means of oppression by collection agencies, installment-dealers, and money-loan sharks. In the criminal branch of the court, he would establish a probation system, where petty wrong-doers would be given a chance, and where they would be encouraged to be better citizens. From our acquaintance with Mr. Croke, we are able to say that he is a young man of education and culture, who will realize on his own that he is a resident of this city, an active Republican, and a friend of the race. Do not forget Mr. Croke when you go to vote at the primary on September 5. Hearty Congratulations Washington, D. C., Aug. 15, 1911. Hon. H. C.

Believing that his conduct in office has been worthy, he is now asking promotion at the hands of the voters of the city. In selecting candidates for the very important office of municipal Judge, each candidate should be exercised by the Republican voters, and Mr. Chapman, who is well qualified to hold the office, should be given full consideration.

Cincinnati, O.-Lillian Chait, 36 (white), is in a dying condition at the City Hospital from the effects of bichloride of mercury tablets, which she took with suicidal intent one evening last week in her room at 420 W. 5th Ave. Among her effects were found a photograph of a Negro and two letters—one addressed to Eugene Griffin, care of the Little Savoy Hotel, of which she was in it that she never knew what love was until she met her Negro lover, and that he was dearer to her than her own life. She was going to commit suicide, she wrote, because she could not give him as much money as she used to, but she hoped he would find another girl that would love him and take good care of him. She wrote also that she wished his photograph to be placed in the coffin with her body when she was buried.

A girl at the soda fountain in the Bailey Co.'s store, was discharged last week by Manager Victor Sincere because she refused to give Mrs. Mattle Hunter of E. 29th St., proper service. He 'read the act act' to several other employees of the department and conided by saying: "I want you girls to understand that the Bailey Co.'s caters to all well-behaved people, and all, regardless of race or color, must be properly treated. There is no such thing as a 'color-line' in this store, anywhere. If there are any more complaints from this department, I will send them to Mrs. Hunter, turning to Mrs. Hunter said: "I greatly regret this occurrence and sincerely trust that there will be no more such in this store."

The Liberator extends congratulations to Editor Smith of the Cleveland Ohio Gazette on its 28th anniversary. As a brave, fearless champion of manhood rights the Gazette has rendered great service to the race. Editor Smith has just reasons to be proud.—Los Angeles (Cal.) Liberator. The Cleveland (O.)

There were possibly 20 persons in attendance upon the (second) meeting at Shiloh church, in the parlors, Tuesday evening, of those interested in the selection of a proper person of the race, to stand as a candidate for state constitutional delegate, his candidate John P. Kearns candidacy, promoted by that Hollendens House delegates' meeting is not satisfactory to the great mass of our voters for many reasons. Therefore the recent meetings held in the parlors of St. John's and Shiloh churches. S. W. Woods presided and Prof. G. C. Sutton was secretary in attendance in attendance were Dr. Paxton of St. Andrew's church, Dr. J. K. Nickens, Messrs. R. K. Moon, Wm. Mintyre, Dallas Cooper, Walter L. Brown, James M. Tilley, Dan Fairlake, Jr., W. E. Beacon, Geo. W. Johnson, Garrett A. Morgan, Geo. Jones, Attorneys Cheeks, Davis, Sutton, W. R. Green, and others. After full and free discussion of the matter it was unanimously decided to ask the team of The Gazette to stand as the race's candidate in this community for delegate to the state constitutional convention, and a committee, Messrs. Johnson and Nickens, were sent to his residence to bring him to the meeting. His arrival was greeted with enthusiastic applause. In his address, Mr. Smith made it clear that he would not be a candidate unless the majority of the thinking people of the race in this community wanted him to do so and would "in their opinion be most likely" in case he did comply with their unanimous endorsement and request. He also explained the importance of our having representation in that convention, etc., and was listened to with eagerness by all present. At the conclusion of his talk, a committee was appointed to take charge of future work in connection with the movement, and adjournment was taken to meet at the call of the chairman. In many respects, the meeting, like the one at the office, was uninterrupted in that way, was perfect harmony and unity of purpose, the best of good feeling and a determination to not permit certain white men of this community to dictate the selection of our people's representative in the state constitutional convention, even if they were shrewd enough to get a member of the race into their Hollenden House civic organization delegates' meetings. By the way, six of the ten candidates they endorsed have refused to accept said endorsement, and more are like that. In the case with the possible exception of one or two, are in hearty sympathy with the movement which has brought about the St. John and Shiloh parliors meeting. The one or two have not as yet expressed their views. Greetings From South America. Bahia, Brazil, June 21, 1911. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I am so favorably impressed with your splendid paper that I am taking advantage of this opportunity to say that The Gazette alone is proof of the Afro-American's ability to attain to the very highest education. I admire your journal because you write so strong and so broad, giving the subject of your race such perfect illustrations. This, however, should make all people of the race strive hard to bring this organ into a strong form. It is so healthy, so strong in character, so clean and generally interesting. With sincere best wishes, I am. Yours respectfully. (Prof.) Isaac S. Moore. 26 Runa Capitains. Dunn & Moran TONSORIAL PARLORS "Four Barbers" 3014 Central Ave. CLEVELAND.

Every moral awakening is marked by a return to old ways, strong and wholesome, that have been neglected. To go to the past for guidance in hours when heart and soul are stirred is not mere sentiment. In scanning the events of former times one discerns that the great moral principles which have uplifted mankind and molded the higher life have never changed. As mankind's horizon broadens conditions and environments will naturally change, but the elements that make for the upbuilding of character are not subject to change; they are rooted eternally in the moral consciousness of the world. God himself has graven upon the tablets of stone the duties and obligations of man. Just balances and just weights are the best policy today, as they have ever been. The honest and upright man has always been a tower of strength in his community. Nor are purity and decent living amenable to any new conditions of modern life. Impurity and lascivious living the most degenerate will not defend as proper and respect able. The admonition of the prophet to return to the old paths is one that every generation ought to lay to heart. It holds a note of encouragement for all those who are desirous to enlist in the cause of moral regeneration. In the fight for the full and free life we need to know that we do not fight alone, that we are but part of a great and glorious army that has been struggling up all the ages past. We need to catch the vision of the men who battled for the nobler things of life and feel the glow of strength that comes from touch with the great souls of every age. To seek the old path is not an indictment of the present. No one familiar with the trend and tendency of our time will dare to speak of it as a godess age. The independence of man, the dignity of woman, the nobility of labor, the freedom of research, religious tolerance, the need of a common education, the need of sympathy and help for human suffering—all these achievements stamp our age as one dedicated to the broader interests of mankind. Yet to be honest we must confess that on the whole the tendency of life has grown downward instead of upward, forward instead of inward, natureward instead of Godward. Wonderful strides have been made intellectually; morally we have not held our own. But especially must be noted in estimating the civilization of our age that the pendulum has swung from the ideal to the material altogether. Modern man is displaying marvelous strength and ingenuity in conquering the forces of nature and in removing obstacles that stand in the way of his material well-being; but he is lamentably weak and impatient when put to the test of resisting his evil passions and inclinations. Of what value, then, all discoveries and inventions, all wealth, pleasure and luxury, if in the pursuit of them we lose the power to control and regulate our passions and desires, if all material progress does not bring peace, comfort and light in the great trials and emergencies of life? In political life thousands seem to be bereft of all sense of moral responsibility. Venality and corruption abide in low as well as in high places. Tens of thousands have been deprived by class legislation of opportunities and blessings to which they were clearly entitled. The greed and avarice of corporate interests have become a menace to the very existence of our free institutions. In social life "plain living and high thinking" has long ceased to be fashionable. Reading the daily papers one cannot help but feel that domestic virtue is at a discount. Marriage is a matter of convenience, terminated in the spirit it is entered upon. Vulgarity and ostentation pass only too often for culture. Money, not character, regulates social intercourse. In the realm of religion conditions are not any better. In the increasing valuation and glorification of things material we are losing all sense for the appreciation of things spiritual. Ethics and religion are man-made. Love, righteousness, justice, are not rooted in the divine ideal. Shallow reasoning and cheap phrases have robbed many of the religious heritage of their fathers and driven them into the camps of mountebanks. The lack of a religious faith is apparent in the hopelessness and pessimism which leads so many to despair and destruction. Thank God there is a moral awakening against corruption and dishonesty, against false standards of morality and against religious faddism, against a philosophy that leads to blind fatalism. Indications of uneasiness as to modern business methods abound everywhere. Public sentiment in this country is crystallizing more and more, until there will be a thorough appreciation on the part of everyone of moral responsibility. The moral consciousness of men is growing more and more sensitive. Men are beginning to criticize, freely and openly, the slightest departure from the path of moral retitude, because it is contrary to God, because it is contrary to the higher law of man and to the best interests of society. Men and women are heeding more and more their obligations to those who call them father and mother. Pure physical and moral lives are Doome doctors could not cure a ham. —Milwaukee Wisconsin. And some lawyers couldn't try a case of lard —Scranton Tribune. And some pianists couldn't play a line of house —Mobile Register. And some angiers couldn't cast a line —Youngstown Telegram. And some hunters couldn't shoot the chutes —Detroit Free Press. And some shoe clerks couldn't shoot a chicken —Houston Post. a most valuable asset that parents can give their offspring is the slogan adopted by thousands of good people everywhere. Whether this moral awakening shall become a broad stream, whose waters shall cover the whole land, must depend upon the individual. Everyone must feel the need of personal reformation before there can be a thorough and widespread public regeneration. The only honesty which counts in every reform movement is personal honesty. If we are to have good government, everyone must be honest and seek the welfare of the nation as the highest aim of civic duty. In brief, in all the relations of life we must ever be cognizant of our duties and responsibilities and live our lives in the spirit of the great moral principles that bear the imprint of God, our Father. DOMESTIC SUPERSTITIONS One of the early morning sights in Boston is the small army of women farm laborers starting out for their day's work on the truck farms or gardens in the suburbs. They start early, they return late, but their season is short. The sight of women working in the fields has come to be so common in the garden farming districts as to attract no special attention, says the Boston Globe. Almost all of these women are italians, the very picture of health, short and sturdy, straight backed and straight limbed, and they can handle a hoe or even a fork or spade with as much dexterity and effectiveness as the average man. But when it comes to weeding these women seem to be in a class all by themselves. It is a picturesque sight to watch at a distance a group of the weeders at work. One thing the Italian won't do. She don't lay aside her bright-colored finery. It seems as necessary to her happiness when she is on her knees weeding onions or breaking her back crushing potato bugs as it is when she is gossiping on her house stoop or celebrating a holiday. The woman's mind if left to itself turns naturally to believe the make-believe. A housewife likes to pit her unreason against her reason. The mere act of absurd illogic gives variety and charm to an otherwise dull foreonon of housework and nobody is the worse for stretching the arm of imagination to include a little mild superstition of the old-fashioned sort—Youth's Companion. THE HYPIEN'S USE. "Here," said the teacher, pointing with her cane to the blackboard, "we have an example of a compound word—'bird-cage.'" She paused dramatically, while her pupils bent forward in their seats and read the bold, white letters in profound silence. "In compound words," she resumed, "a hyphen is employed to show relation between the two terms that form it. Ahem! For instance—Thomas, she broke off suddenly, "you're not attending!"" "Yes, I was," murmured Thomas. "Well, if you were," retorted the teacher, pointing again to the blackboard, "perhaps you'll tell the class why the hyphen is placed between bird and cage?" For a thrilling second Thomas racked his brain for light. Then he exclaimed: "I know! It's for the bird to perch on!"—London Answers. SURVIVING SOUTHERN GENERALS Of the Confederate captains, there are some notable survivors. Lieut-Gen. Simon Bolvari Buckner, the old friend of Grant, who surrendered to the latter at Fort Donelson, is still alive in a green old age. There are five major generals surviving, including Hoke, Lomax, Law and G. W. C. Lee, all of whom performed notable services to their cause, and Pollgarn, now living in his old home in France. In addition, there are twenty-seven triglider-generals, of whom the best known are Cockrell of Missouri, Basil of Kentucky, Gordon, a member of congress, and Roger A. Pryor, now New York city. All these attained the full rank and commanded bodies of troops generally above that indicated by their rank.—Philadelphia Inquirer. HAD BEEN PRINTED Dr. C. W. Aked responded to the toast of "Eloquence" at a banquet at San Francisco. "But it is better to be silent," said Dr. Aked, in conclusion, "than to be eloquent by unfair means. "There was once a divine whose good wife said to him: "James, dear, the Rev. Dr. Tenthly has made over $290 by the publication of a volume of sermons. You preach much better than Dr. Tenthly, dear. Why not print a few of your sermons?" "My love,' the man whispered, hoarsely, 'they were all printed long ago.'"—Washington Star. SHE KNEW HIS FAULT. "I have sent you flowers every day and bought you chocolates twice a week for the past year, and provided you with all the latest fiction. I have taken you to the theater and supper after the performance, and we have always had a taxicab. I have done everything to anticipate your every wish. Money has been no object. Yet you refuse to marry me. Why?" "You are too extravagant!" And some bricklayers couldn't lay an egg.—Yonkers Statesman. And some printers couldn't impress a girl. GETTING BETTER. "Do you think social conditions in this country are improving?" "Ob, yes. My wife came home from a card party the other day and didn't have a single new scandal to report." —Chicago Record-Herald. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1911 HAMPTON NEGRO CONFERENCE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING HELD AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE — CONFERENCE LARGELY ATTENDED— ADDRESSES INTERESTING AND PRACTICAL. Hampton, Va.—The fifteenth annual meeting o the Hafpton Negro conference was held at Hampton institute, which brought out several hundred thoughtful and progressive negroes from many parts of the south. At each regular meeting from 350 to 500 persons were present and at the round table discussions from 50 to 200 persons were in attendance. Mrs. Harris Barrett of Hampton, Va., a graduate of Hampton and president of the Virginia Federation of Colored Women, which was organized in 1907 at the conference, told of bringing together negro women's clubs for special state work without interfering with their community activities. Mrs. Barrett stated that the negro women's clubs which had pledged $10 each for the building of a: industrial school for wayward girls had redeemed their pledges and that there was now in hand more than $600. How much this co-operative pioneer work means only those in harmony and sympathy with the colored people of the south can estimate. The Home makers' club of Hampton raised $57 instead of the $10 pledged. Mrs. I. C. Norcum, of Portsmouth, Va., who is chairman of the ways and means committee of the federation, read a paper on "Womens' Community Clubs." Mrs. Norcum showed the relation of the work of colored women's clubs to improvement in the conduct and appointment of the home, including well-cooked meals, school improvement societies, sanitary reforms in rural life, care of children, and the antituberculosis movement. Her paper centered about a helpful discussion of the federation motto: "Lifting as we climb." Mrs. Laura B. Titus, of Norfolk, Va., who has had a wide experience in community work among negroes, outlined the origin and growth of the Norfolk Women's Christian association (colored) and the need of providing protection and shelter for negro girls and women in their journeys from the south to the north and back again. Negro teachers, she said, must be missionaries in the broadest sense. They must do a large share of the work in saving the negro. They must teach the young people to behave quietly on the streets, on the cars, and on the boats. In short, the salvation of the negro is through co-operation with one another and the best white people. In her address on "The Negro Woman's Religious Activity," Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, wife of a Baptist minister of Richmond, Va., declared that "activity" meant "work." She explained how thoroughly some of the negro ministers are being assisted by women's aid societies which care for the sick and destitute, relieve the aged, and look after the welfare of needy children. Mrs. Stokes commented on some of the tangible and beneficial results of negro women's club work; the national Christian temperance movement; the national federation of colored women's clubs, with its offspring—reform schools, or;anges, Young Women's Christian associations, hospitals and schools; women's auxiliary of the National Baptist convention; Lott Carey Foreign Mission convention; National Nurses' association; National W. W. C. A.; Women's Educational Convention of Virginia; Women's M. E. association of Virginia; Women's Aid society of the Northern Neck association of Virginia; Rappahannock Sunday School convention; Negro Baptists' Old Folks home, Richmond, Va.; the Firefies school; Women's Mite Missionary society of the Methodist church. All these organizations are devoted to the uplift and improvement of the colored people. Mrs. Stokes declared that there was an urgent call for enthusiasts, not extremists, in club work for negro women. Dr. James B chanan, secretary of the Associated Charities of Richmond, spoke to the large audience of white and colored people concerning the need of men and women who are able to meet every question of social welfare arising in their respective communities. Dr. Buchanan is a white officer who has been engaged for eight years in social work in Richmond. Business men, he said, ask now how their money is being spent in social work what has been accomplished, and what is the program for the future. He urged the principles of economy in administration and of common sense in ideals. W. W. Long, who is in charge of the farm demonstration work in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, spoke at a round table meeting on what is sometimes called "kindergarden agriculture"—deep fall plowing, the saving of farm manures, careful soil preparation, and the raising of home supplies. A practical demonstration in proper methods of hitching and unharnessing a horse, and a talk on the essentials of good draft horses for southern farmers, was given by Dr. R. R. Clark, veterinarian and instructor in animal husbandry at Hampton institute. Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute, in his address of welcome, referred to the appropriateness of men and women gathering at Hampton where so much of American history centers for the discussion of problems vital to the progress of the AN EASY WAY OUT. Ambassador Jusserand, at one of his superb dinners at the French embassy in Washington, said of diplomacy: "Diplomacy may be defined as a way out—an easy, pleasant, honorable way out. "A young royal duke, from a story current about him, is well versed in diplomacy. "This young man visited a millionaire in Cannes during the Riviera season, and his host's daughter was negro race and its proper relation to the white people of the country. He testified to the advancement which the negro has been making everywhere throughout the south, and declared that co-operation was the thought of the time which would lift up the country. Among the other speakers were Dr. S. G. Atkins, of Winston-Salem, N. C. secretary of education for the A. M. E. Zion church; Dr. James Hardy Dillard, of New Orleans, president of the rural school fund board; Rev. C. L. Bonner, presiding elder of the C. M. E. church, Toccoa, Ga.; A. W. Nicholson, of Trenton, S. C., principal of Bettis academy; Dr. J. D. Hammond, president of Paline college, Augusta, Ga.; and Thomas C. Walker, a well-known farmer of Gloucester, Va. NEW SCHOOLING FOR GIRLS --- Theological students are hereby admonished to pause and reconsider their matrimonial aspirations. For signs are not wanting "that's different." A kindly German critic has recently been asking with urgency: "Why do not struggling country parisons with small, small salaries, help themselves out by taking charge of city young ladies? In Germany it is the custom for a girl to pass the year between school and society in the country in the home of some clergyman who can oversee her reading, while his wife inducts her into all the mysteries of the housewife arts. The plan has many advantages. It is more practical than your course in domestic science, for the pupil actually takes a hand in all the work of the household, from the fine laundering to sausage making. Free from the distractions of home or society, or even of the classroom, she can devote herself singleminded to the business in hand. Her first timid experiments are ventured out of range of the jeers of brothers and sisters, and of the mother's unconscious assumption that she is still a little girl. When she goes home it is in the full blush and dignity of housewifely completeness, a graduate into mature life. Moreover, the year of simple fare in the country usually sends her into society rosey and rested. The clergyman's pocket is meanwhile substantially replenished. So it is good all round. Why is it not done here?" AMERICANS IN EUROPE. "Mrs. Hamilton Paine—the Duchesse of Chieule-Prasinia—gives by her misadventure with Count d'Aubry another proof of the inability of Americans to grapple with European life." The speaker, Count Jacques de la Tour Blanche, was praising, in New York, the honesty of America. "You are, for all the tales about your politics and corporate corruption," he said, "the most honest and the most honorable people in the world It is to your credit, not to your discredit, that adventurers so often dupe you in Europe. It isn't because your minds are stupid that you are duped. It is because your minds are noble—too noble to believe such mean, small creatures as Europe adventurers can exist. "That was a typical adventurer who, meeting an American millionaire in Paris, congratulated her upon her good fortune in making his acquaintance. "You know, he said, 'I always pick my friends.'" "But this lady, who was up to snuff, retorted: "As you would a chicken, eh, marquis?" "—New York Times. SOME LIGHT ON A SCOURGE. "New light on cancer" is the headline over a news dispatch to the Tribune from London. It is light at least a little helped by the "X-ray" and the "X" in this, instance does not stand for an unknown quantity. One discovery made is that the cancer is not contagious. That when understood and accepted will end a large amount of fear, superstition and horror in the world. Investigation of how to cure, or to check the disease of how to extirpate it so as to prevent its recurrence is still going on among scientists. "Progress" alone can be announced by them, for neither investigation nor experimentation has yet more than begun. Vaccines and serums are benignly in use, but the relation of the disease to foods, to habits and to surroundings remains to be further examined both in animals and men—Brooklyn Eagle. LOTS OF RAW MATERIAL "President Diaz," said a railroad man with headquarters in Mexico, "used to have a gruff, caustic kind of wit. "I once dined with him in Mexico City, when the subject of Dash came up—Dash, a staid millionaire of seventy-eight years, who had eloped with his sixteen-year-old stenographer. "President Diaz philosophized, I thought, rather neatly on the matter. thought, rather neatly on the matter. "Well," he said, "not every man is made a fool of, but every man has the raw material in him."—"Los Angeles Times." THE STORK AND SISTER. Little Robert was much interested in the picture of a stork which he saw in a magazine. "Say, mamma," he asked, "what has become of the bird's other leg?" "It has raised it up among its feathers," replied the mother. "That's funny," the boy observed; "I thought it was trying to clean its shoe on its stocking like sister Ethel does." thrown at his head—so much so, in fact, that when he came to leave Cannes his hostess took him aside and declared gravely: "It's reported all over that you are to marry Claire. I don't know what to say to people." "The duke smiled easily." "Oh, just tell them." he said, "that Claire refused me."—Washington Star. Nothing looks more silly than a smile that is long drawn out. --- The Sunday School Lesson Sunday School Lesson for August 27, 1911. JUDAH CARRIED CAPTIVE TO BABYLON. Golden Text.—"Be sure your sin will find you out." Num. 32:23. Jeremiah 39:1:10. Commit vs. 9, 10. Time.—590 B. C. Places.—Jerusalem and Kiblah. Exposition—1. The fall of Jerusalem, 1-4. There are four accounts in the Bible of the siege and fall of Jerusalem (Jer. 39:52; 2 K. 25; Lamentations). The siege lasted a year and six months lacking a day. The condition of the people within the city as the siege drew near its close was pittable in the extreme." (Lam. 4:4-10). At the outset of the siege there appeared to be no likelihood that Jerusalem would be taken (Lam. 4:12), but God predicted that it would and his predictions are sure. It was because of the sins of the prophets and priests and people and the consequent anger of Jehovah against Jerusalem that it fell (Lam. 4:11-13). Jehovah had withdrawn his watchcare (Ps. 127:1), and the people had put their trust in Egypt (Lam. 4:17) and Jehovah had turned back the weapons of war that were in the hands of his people and himself fought against them (Jer. 21:4-5). When the breach was made in the city, the famine was already sore (Jer. 52:6:7; 2 K. 25:3). The famine had incapacitated the men for defending the walls and the breach was made in the night (2 K. 25:3:4). The entrance of the princes of the king of Babylon into the city and their setting up of their thrones in the middle gate was a literal fulfillment of prophecy (Jer. 21:4; 1:15). The names of the princes indicate that they were worshipers of Nergal and Nebo. This does not prove that Jehovah had been conquered by Nergal and Nebo, he had himself given his people over because of their apostasy and fought against them (Jer. 21:5). Zedekiah was watching and as soon as he saw the leaders of the Chaldeans inside the city, he fled with his men of war (V. 4). The manner of his flight was an exact and literal fulfillment of prophecy (Ezek. 12:12; cf Lev. 26:36; Deu. 28:35). There was no use in his fleeing, he might have known that he could not escape (Jer. 22:4-5). He certainly ought to have believed God's word by this time. 2. The capture of Zedekiah and the deportation of the people, 5-10. Zedekiah did not get very far before he was captured (V. 5). Israel had won their great national victory in that plain (Joshua 4:13; 6:12), because they trusted Jehovah, they suffered their final defeat there because they had departed from Jehovah. Zedekiah's army had been scattered before his capture (2 K. 25:5). His capture was an exact fulfillment of prophecy POETRY of and by Our People BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. God spake in Genesis, and said: Le there be light, and darkened fescue; In Exodus, at his command, An Israel fled from Egypt's land; The Israelites and tribes befell Leviticus and Numbers tell; God's holy will again we see Contained in Deuteronomy, Then follow the Ruth. Ruth of Samuel from his youth; And two of Kings, the record plain Of many a good and evil reign; Two books of Chronicles tell o'ne Two books of Iron from before— Their noble deeds of valor done, Their many battles fought and won. Historic words our hearts inspire Sacred Hebrew. And Esther shows the ways of God. While Job receives the chastening rod; The Psalms lift up the soul with praise; And Proverbs teach in homely phrase; And then the song of Solomon. Isalah now, with vision clear, Beholds a promised Saviour near, While Jeremiah lifts on high the ground, and cries cry, And Lamentations paints his grief That Zion weeps nor finds relief; Ezekel, Daniel, each record The wondrous dealings of the Lord. And Obediah, prophets true, O'er Israel's faithless nation year, And warn from evil to return; When Jonah wakes, he sighs. Goeth the worm and threatened woe; Habakkuk prays in words sublime, That ring through all succeeding time; Next Zephaniah, Haggal, After the worm, Haggal. All they have passed in close review From ancient Scripture to the new. And now a Saviour's birth behold, In Matthew's Gospel sweetly told, Mark, Luke and John his heart and how he rose In Acts the Holy Ghost descends, And Christ his kingdome wide extends; In Romans, lo! the apostle Paul commands God, calls him God, Commands and Galatians show the grace that every soul may know. Ephesians and Philippians tell The zeal his life portrayed so well; Josias is weak, God of strength and comfort to the weak; In Timothy, Paul's charge we find; In Titus, friendship warm and kind; Philomel shows how love constrains, With James and Peter, John and Jude, And Revelation, we conclude The books that in God's word divine Like stars of endless glory shine. ANECDOTES OF GILBERT. The antipathy of the late Sir William S. Gilbert to Punch, which rejected the first and only contribution sent by him to that publication, was never overcome. Sitting at dinner next to a former editor of Punch, Gilbert remarked to him: "I suppose you often have funny things sent in from outsiders?" "Heaps," said the editor. "Then why don't you put them in?" asked Gilbert. He was once standing outside his club when TAKE HEART. When low in the west the cloud-ships drift, And dark o'er the landscape the shadows shift. When doubt is the day, and the heart is lead. Turn your face to the east; there is light ahead. "Look up and not down; look out and not in;" Make believe that the spirits of good are your kin; Dwain in the past, but live just for today. And you'll never be worsed whatever the fray. If you cannot be first in a contest or race, Step aside for your rival, and do it with grace. And never deplore at the set of the sun, The loss of a prize that another has won. I would be friend of all—the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forgetting the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakest; I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift. —Howard A. Walter, in National Baptist Union Review. LINCOLN'S ANSWER TO SEWARD. William H. Seward and his friends were sorely disappointed at his failure to secure the nomination for the presidency in 1880. Lincoln displayed both sagacity and magnanimity when he gave his defeated rival the most important place in his cabinet. At the time Lincoln was largely an unknown quantity, while Seward was a man of much experience in public affairs. Seward's friends confidently expected him to be the strong man of the cabinet and even to overshadow the executive. Shortly after entering upon his duties he handed Lincoln a note containing "Some Thoughts for the President's Consideration." Among other things he suggested the necessity that some one man should take the lead and grapple boldly with the situation, closing with these words: "Either the president must do it himself, or devolve it upon some member of the cabinet. It is not my special province, but I neither seek to evade or assume responsibility." Lincoln answered the note the same day. On the question of leadership he simply said: "If this must be done I must do it." The matter was dropped then and there, and with fine discretion Lincoln kept the correspondence secret.—A. W. Macy. a stranger approached him and said: "I beg your pardon, sir, but do you happen to know a gentleman, a member of this club, with one eye called Matthews?" Sir William paused for a moment. "I can't say I do," he replied. "What is his other eye called?"—Buffalo Commercial. SUITED BOTH Caller-I greatly like the tone of that picture.

STREET AND NO...... STATE..... Interesting Fossils Splendid fossils were discovered the other day during sinking operations for two new coal pits at Old Cumnock, Scotland. At about 50 fathoms deep a flower period was passed through, well defined fossils of tree branches, ferns, flowers, seeds, and seedpods being found. The most interesting, discoveries were evidently of a much earlier period, because these were found at a depth of 78 fathoms. This has evidently been a marine period, the fossils including several well defined shellfish, some of good size, embedded in the ironstone. Two most important finds are those of animals. One, in a very complete condition, resembles part of a seal or sea lion. The other splendid fossil resembles a turtle. A Noble Man. "Now," asked the lawyer who was drawing up the gentleman's will, "is there anything more that you wish to have mentioned?" "You've said I want all my just debts paid, have you?" "Yes." "Well, just add that the ladies to whom I have been paying alimony are to have their regular allowances right along." Ingenious Cigar Lighters. In recent forms of pocket cigar lighters, an alloy of iron and cerium is used to ignite the alcohol in the wick. The alloy has the interesting peculiarity of emitting bright sparks when struck by a hard piece of steel. The sparks give practically no heat, but will ignite combustible gases. The light emitted by the sparks is very brilliant and penetrating.
