TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 11. Three Costumes Three Costumes THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN VICTOR TREASURE STRUGGHT TWENTY-NINTH Three C WALKING COSTUME—Cloth or serge would make up well in this style; the skirt has a floating panel down front taken to within a few inches of foot. The basque of the Russian coat is added under a belt of black satin, the revers are also of satin edged with black and white striped silk; this with a binding of satin trims the sleeves; a frill of soft lace adds a finish. Hat of black satin, trimmed with ostrich feathers. Visiting Dress—Eau de Nil Venetian cloth is used here, the skirt is slightly high-walsted, and is trimmed part way down each side by cord sewn on quite straight, with a waving of narrower cord between; a row of buttons is sewn on the inside, little openings is left at the foot, to show Many New Ideas 'Are to Be Found Among the Latest Effects Designed. Practically all the new coats are made full length and cut on straight lines. They are made up in pongee, soft finished taffeta and rubberized silk. Among the novelty coats for fall are those made of taffeta or silk serge and lined with heavy cloth, the cloth being used for the trimming. Silks, and especially silk velvets, are in the highest favor, and three silk frocks are seen now where before two were shirtwalters and suit skirts. The large collar revers and deep turn-back cuffs are much in evidence in new jackets. Quite a number have skirts trimmed to correspond with the jackets. The grandfather frill is still in favor. Formed of a triple frill of point desprit net falling in a cascade down one side of the corsage, it makes a pretty finish for almost any gown. When sleeves are of the peasant type, large folded back cuffs are usually employed as trimmings, with perhaps a narrow undersleeve of some sheer white material, net or all-over embroidery. Black or dark blue taffeta tailor-made, trimmed with fringe, are one of the inventions of the year. Taffeta is coming into more and more favor and a strenuous vogue for it is undoubtedly ahead. TWO-SIDED JABOTS. THE CITY MUSEUM The modest little jabot which used to fill in the V of the coat opening now looks prim and old-fashioned, indeed. New jabots are stupendous affairs, which make the whole coat front white and fluffy with sheer material and lace trills. This jabot has on one side a rever of tucked lawn and lace. At the straight edge of the rever is a jabot frill of plaited lawn and lace, very wide at the top and tapering to nothing at the bottom. The frill turn back over the left side of the coat front, the rever lying flat across the right side. THE GAZETTE pieces of material trimmed with cord. The Magyar bodice is trimmed to match, with the addition of black satin, which forms straps outside cord, and finishes collar and cuffs. Hat of Tagel to match, trimmed with a leather and head cabouchon. with a cutter and a button. Start dress. This becoming dress is made up in vieux rose de laine, patterned in black and white, and in plain vieux rose de laine. The tunic and lower part of bodice are of the fancy de laine, the latter is prettily trimmed with strappings of black satin, which also edge the over-sleeves and yoke, while white is used for the under-sleeves and yoke; the lower part of skirt and upper of bodice are of the plain de laine. Hat of chip, trimmed with an algrette and a large rosette of vieux rose tulle. ADORNMENT FOR THE BABY Much Consideration Has Been Given to Designs for the Small Household Monarch. Sunray shirring is coming in again, and very quaint it looks on the little white bonnets for infants and their sisters of two or three years. The backs of the bonnets are stiffened and round and the side portions also are shirred. One dainty little bonnet of this style is bordered with a band of white fur, and a second has a narrower band of mink and tiny dabs of the mink over the ears. Pink apple blossoms apear on one model, and a cluster of round, pink, unopened buds on another. A wreath is also a very pretty decoration, one being just an applique of alternating leaves and petals, the leaves being of moss-green velvet and the petals of pink silk. White chiffon makes some of these bonnets and white bengaline others. One combines the two materials, the chiffon being shirred in bands and used to trim the more severe outlines of the bengaline. For a very new baby a long dress has a three-inch ruffle at the font, applied with cording. A bow of pale blue ribbon, with streamers that reach almost to the hem of the long skirt, is caught at the left side near the shoulder. For a little tot in short dresses there is a dainty coat of accordion-plaited white chiffon, with a forward turning hem, and a little cape made of white bengaline, embroidered. Children's Garments The best-selling styles in children's garments are those that are copied from women's wear, says the Drygood Economist. It is surprising how becoming these little coats are. For example, the shawl collar and side fastening, so popular with the grownups, are also meeting with great success in children's coats. The same is true of the hood effects, pointed collars, new shape sailors and Increable revers. Even the cut-up seams are being employed by the designers with considerable success. 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 organdle. 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. To Clean Silver Mesh Bag Any woman who owns a German or sterling silver mesh bag or purse, and who has learned how one soils light dresses and gloves, will be glad to know that she can clean it in a few minutes herself at home. Just take plenty of soda (common baking soda), this is what the jewelers use, and a little water and brush rinses well and dry and think of the economy—it looks as good as new. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. A QUEER LEGEND FEDOR KOSMICH, THE HERMIT MAY HAVE BEEN A RUS- SIAN CZAR A curious legend is associated with the name of Alexander I of Russia. It is to the effect that the emperor in 1825 was sojourning in the Crimea. When near Taganarog his coachman by some means managed to overturn the carriage of a court courier named Markof, who was killed. The emperor, wishing to rid himself of the cares of state, so the story runs, caused it to be reported that it was he himself who was killed. Then he carried out a plan which he had for long conceived of retiring to Siberia and living there under an assumed name. Schilder, the historian, professes to have satisfied himself that at all events the remains in the Cathedral of Peter and Paul are those of the courier. Schilder asserts that he learned this much from the children of Markof. According to the legend, Alexander I of Russia died in Siberia in 1854, but history record that he died at Taganrog in 1825. It seems that in 1825 a mysterious stranger appeared in Siberia. He gave his name as Fedor Kosmch and never revealed any other or the place whence he came. He lived the life of a hermit and was received generally with respect. In 1856 he accepted the invitation of a rich merchant to take up his abode in his house at Tomsk. There he was very retired and held communication with Mile. Kromof and the merchant, her father. Every one who saw, him was struck with his extraordinary resemblance to the defunct czar. The Grand Duke Nicholas Michailovitch contributed an article in the Revue Historique in which he denied the sensational part of the story, but admitted that the hermit of Siberia might have been a natural brother of Alexander I.—London Globe. HARD TO RECOGNIZE Critically the friend of the artist regarded the wword conglomeration of color which stood on the easel before him. He stepped back, bent forward, looked at it sideways, and twisted his head in all directions. "What do you think of it?" questioned the aspiring R. A. "Good! Very good!" his friend answered. "It's a perfect portrait; only—ah—I should be inclined to criticise one little detail. The original is scarcely so red in the face as you have painted him." The artist gasped. "What on earth are you talking about?" he asked. "Your picture! It's your uncle, of course." "My uncle?" cried the amazed welder of the brush. "That—that my uncle? Why, it's the sunset. Don't you see the title, 'Sunset and Evening Star'?"—Answers. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION: The African church congregation was jubilating over the success of an outdoor festival. Gradually the jubilee toned down to a solemn debate as to the use to be made of the profits. When the general opinion seemed to be settling in favor of the purchase of a chandelier for the meeting house, "Marse" Ringer, the town roustabout, who had been greatly exalted by the jubilation, for the first time in his life spoke in meeting. "See heah, Mistah Pahson." said he, "Ise agreeable, sah, ise entitleably agreeable wd de rest of de membahs, sah; but Ah wouldjs like to ax one question, sah, jes one. Ef we does git dis chandeliah, sah, if we does git it, who am agwine to play on it? Dat's what Ah'd like to know."—Everybody's Magazine. A SAFE ANSWER A witness in a Provincetown (Mass.) court had the reputation of never expressing an opinion on any subject. No matter who asked him, or what was asked, it seemed impossible for him to give a direct reply. The lawyer tired himself out trying to get the witness to give an opinion as to the moral character of the defendant in the case on trial and, giving up in despair, appealed to the court. The judge regarded the witness sternly and in a severe tone inquired: "Witness, do you believe that the defendant is a good man or a bad man? Answer me straight." "Judge," said the old man earnestly, "sometimes I think he is an sometimes I think he ain't, but I've never been able to make up my mind on it."—Chicago Record-Herald. SMALL, BUT CERTAIN. Apropos of W. E. D. Stokes' remark about a leading lady in a well-known theatrical company who only got $20 a week, a New York manager said the other day: "It's a fact that many a $500 star is lucky to draw $15 or so. I overheard a conversation very much to the point between two actresses at Deal Beach the other day. "The first actress, tossing her head, said: "I'm playing lead, you know, with the "Vassa" company. I get $450 a week. How much do you get, darling? "I get $17 a week," the other actress replied. "Dear me! Is that all you get? "Yes; but I get it."—New York Tribune. BAPTISTS IN SESSION BAPTISTS IN SESSION SELF-DEPENDENCE, FOR NEGROES Rev R. H. Boyd, Secretary of the Home Mission and Publishing Boards, Advocates Religious Thrift for His Denomination Report to National Baptist Convention—Over One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Dollars Received and Nine Million Periodicals Mailed Out This Year. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Showing gross receipts of $187,753.77 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1911, and at the same time reporting 306,559 letters written to the various Baptist Sunday schools throughout the United States, Rev. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing board of Nashville, Tenn., concluded his two splendid reports before the National Baptist convention in session in this city. Dr. Boyd declared in his remarks before the convention, which is reputed to be the largest organized religious body in the world, that unless his people exercised more self-dependence, which will make them a progressive and industrial people, and help teach their posterity that "a well man needs no crutches," they were not going to make as rapid strides in the future as they had in the past. He spoke particularly from a denominational point of view, as he said he represented the future churches among two and one-half million negro Baptists. It was the sixteenth annual report of the home mission board of this convention, of which Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., is chairman, and the fifteenth report of the National Baptist Publishing board, located at Nashville, Tenn., of which Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., is chairman. Dr. Boyd fills the secretariat of both boards. These two positions he has held with credit to the denomination and to the race since 1896. The reports as presented by secretary Boyd were in pamphlet form and consisted of ninety-six printed pages. It reviewed the work of the publishing board from its beginning in Nashville, Tenn., in the winter of December 1896, when without a dollar from this convention Dr. Boyd began to demonstrate what the negro Baptists, as well as the race, could do if they would cultivate self-dependence. His reports show that up to the close of August, 1911, he has mailed out during the past twelve months nine million eighty-five thousand one hundred sixty-one periodicals and requisites written, arranged, compiled, edited and sent out from the National Baptist Publishing board an increase of nineteen thousand seven hundred and seventy-one over 1910. It was interesting to watch the trend of his report showing how, step by step, year after year, the institution under his management had gone along in the face of much opposition within the denomination, as well as the keen competition, which naturally opposes from without, yet he reports an increase of ten thousand dollars' worth of business over last year. The report was received with enthusiasm by the delegates to the convention, and again Dr. Boyd was proclaimed by his denomination as their "Moses" of modern times. This report also contains "The Story of the Sunday School Congress," which was held this year in Meridian, Miss., in which thousands of Sunday school workers were represented. In the work of Sunday schools, Dr. Boyd said that this Sunday school congress had proven to be a potent factor in helping in modern Sunday school work and methods. He stated that the organized Sunday school class movement, such as the Metoka and the Galedo classes, together with the National Baptist Bible class and Reading circle, had filled many Sunday school rooms that heretofore had been empty. Closing, he declared that the young negro was turning from the error of his way, and with the religious influence thrown around him would soon prove a worthy, honest, industrious citizen. The phenomenal feature about the entire document was the showing made of the rapid growth of the institution, which in fifteen years has come from insignificance to a plant worth three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, according to an inventory appearing in the national convention minutes for 1910. The plant at Nashville occupies seven brick buildings at the corner of Second avenue and Locust street. Scores of young men and women of the race find employment under the secretary of these boards. The plant is recorded as the largest distinct negro publishing establishment in the world and stands as a monument to the energy, thrift and business foresight of the secretary, who was its strongest advocate at St. Louis, Mo., in 1896, when he plead with this same convention for an opportunity to demonstrate what he has brought up to them here. From every state in the Union the Baptists proclaim this the greatest year in their history. Many cities are bidding for the next meeting of the convention. A. VERMIFORM VALUE. The vermiform appendix is of no value to a human being, is it? "Well," replied the physician, "It's a good deal of a financial help to the doctor who takes it out."—Washington Star GERMANY FEARS BLACK ARMY PUBLIC MIND HAS BEEN EXCITED BY IT IN THE MOROCCO IM- BRUGLIO—FRANCE GOES ON ENLISTING AFRICAN NATIVES —WILL GIVE THEM TOURS OF DUTY IN FRANCE SO AS TO- FAMILIARIZE BLACKS WITH EUROPE—FRANCE CAN DO IT BECAUSE WITHOUT COLOR PREJUDICE. A dark vision has troubled the German popular imagination greatly during the strain of the Morocco "conversations." It is of an immense "Black Army" of Africans under the tricolor on the battlefields of Europe, thinly veneered savages sweeping over pleasant Teutonic fields and adding new barbarity to war. The kaiser's government has found it necessary to calm the German mind by giving out the assurance that it is simply impossible for France to raise a great army of negroes. Such a comforting assertion is going rather far, it would appear, for France is steadily increasing the number of native troops in all its possessions. There are 12,000 French troops maintained in overseas colonies and of these less than half are Europeans. Altogether France has about 62,000 "native" soldiers of the majority are Africans, officered by Frenchmen. The object of France is to be able to keep more and more of its purely French soldiers at home. It has an immense amount of fighting material at its command in its African colonies outside Algeria and Tunis. They furnish it with Arab battalions, but in West Africa and the Congo it has made a promising beginning of a negro army in eight organizations which in various operations have followed their French officers bravely and intelligently. France proposes that its colored troops shall gain some acquaintance with European ways by tours of duty in France. It has a great advantage in this work of familiarizing "natives" with France in the absence of color prejudice. The man's the man in France whatever the color of his skin. BECOGNIZE HAITI'S PRESIDENT GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND GERMANY JOIN WITH THE UNITED STATES. Great Britain, France and Germany, in addition to the United States, it was announced, have recognized Gen. Chincinnatus Leconte as president of Haiti. In receiving American Minister Furniss a few days ago, the state department is advised, President Leconte expressed much friendly sentiment toward the United States. A declaration by the executive outlining his policies for the rehabilitation of the finances of the country is said not to be in conflict with foreign interests. SOURCES OF RADIUM. Radium is found in Luntwengule, Morogoro district, East Africa; Evje, Nedines, Christiansand, Norway; Cornwall and South Devon; Joachimstahl in Bohemia; Gilpn county in Colorado, and Kolmiermaaetten, in Sweden. Of all uranium mines only the one at Joachimstahl, which is working regularly, may be depended upon; there the two mines to be taken into account have an estimated yearly output of sixteen to twenty tons of uranium pit ore, or pitchblende, containing 55 per cent. U. Os. Radium free uranium color is obtained from this ore, which increases the radium content of the residue. Six tons is the annual production of residue, from which it is reasonable to expect a production of 1.8 grams of radium salt of the highest activity. The yield in Austria up to the present, 3.5 grams, is not derived from the regular production from pitchblende, but from numerous old stocks, which are probably exhausted now. The yearly yield of 1.8 grams of radium salt of the highest activity may, according to present prices, be valued at $144,000—Consular and Trade Reports. QUITE A SCHOLAR. A pitman at H—— was very prone to exhibit the "wonderful scholarship" of his little boy to visitors. "Just listen," said he one day to a friend. "listen to oor Billy what a wonderful skooler h is." Then he called out, "Billy, whit gender am 1?" "Maskelline," said Billy. "Hear that, noo!" said the father. "And whit gender is yer mother?" "Feminin," responded the boy. "Hear that, noo!" said the father. "And noo," continued he, taking up a Britannia metal teapot. "whit gender is this teapot, Billy?" "Newtor," said the lad. "Why." said the father, turning apologetically to his friend, "that's the first time I ever kent our Billy mak' a mistake, but he's no' fur wrang after a'; he's only said 'newtor' for 'newtor.'" -Tit-Bills.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. A HUMANE DECISION FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD NEGRO BOY WILL NOT BE HUNG IN ARKANSAS. Little Rock—The decision of the Arkansas supreme court that Earl Gilchrist, the fifteen-year-old boy, was too young to hang, was a humane one. His appeal for a new trial was granted. Once more the boy will face a jury. This time it will be with the decision of the higher court that he is too young to hang confronting Judge Robert E. Lee of the lower court. This may affect his second sentence. It is true that Gilchrist is a negro. It makes no difference what his race may be, or his color, or his crime. He is a child. As such he should not be sentenced to death. He may be all that the evidence indicated that he was. He killed another boy in a street fight. In the eyes of the law he is a convicted murderer. Following out the technical points, Judge Lee was no doubt justified in imposing the sentence of death. The boy might be fifteen; he is a diminutive youth, and it would be a disgrace to the state of Arkansas to countenance such an execution. The boy should be punished. He should be imprisoned, but he should not be hanged. The decision of the supreme court will be included and approved by all courts with a lot of Christian sympathy in their hearts. Arkansas and all other states should have reform schools for just such boys. If a good man can get hold of a negro in time, he can usually make a good, big negro out of the young product. COLORED MAN GETS HIGHEST MARK L. A. LEWIS, CITY HOSPITAL INTERNEE AT INDIANAPOLIS, IND., HEADS 99 IN STATE MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS. Ninety-nine applicants for medical licenses in Indiana successfully passed the July examinations of the state board of medical registration and examination, L. A. Lairdge Lewis, a colored interne at the City hospital, making the highest grade. He received 947 out of a possible 1,000 points. Three other applicants are in the honor list of those receiving a grade of 900 or better. Lewis is the first colored applicant who has ever won first place in the medical examinations in Indiana. He was an honor man in the 1911 graduating class of the Indiana university school of medicine. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Anyway, a rolling pin scatters the dust. Genius is more plentiful than plain common sense. Anything is all right—until it interferes with your plans. No man is so religious that he considers dying a pleasure. A girl's sense of humor is badly warped if she marries for a joke. Father Time is a great artist, but women do not admire his line of work. Free advice is the kind people give away because they have no use for it. A man wastes a lot of time asking questions that he doesn't want answered. Some men are like the wind; they can't even raise a disturbance without blowing about it. It isn't difficult to size a man up, but the true measure of a woman is known only to her dressmaker. There is no reason why a woman shouldn't have an aim in life—even if she can't throw a stone with accuracy. The man who hasn't enough property to interest the tax assessor is always talking about the good he would do if he were a millionaire—Chicago News. PLENTY OF PRESIDENTS. The late Fitzhugh Lee was a loyal Virginian, and would see his profite mother of presidents deposed by no one, so the choice of him to introduce Grover Cleveland, who was to make an address at the historic University of Virginia, resulted in some mird. "Mr. President," he began graciously, "we are honored in welcoming you to Virginia today, both as a loyal Democrat and as the president of these United States. 'Tis long since we have had a president with us.' Then, fearing such adulation might turn Mr. Cleveland's head, he warned to his real subject and added, to the delight of his audience: "But the time has been, suh, when we could go out on this old rotunda porch and holier, Mr. President!" and the woods would be full of them!"—Lippincott's. IN UMOR THERE IS STRONG PY FIVE CENTS. POETRY of and by Our People (Aug. 6, 1777). This is the field; this pathway leads the king in the field. There is the marsh, the tangled weeds that skirt the deep ravine. Here stood the flank on one dread day when thunder filled the air; And rose the shout o'er mountains gray. The King and St. Leopold." They fell in the years gone by. In wood and ambushed; And few men read in history. The brave defense they made. For that was seven score distant years; The summer breezes stir, And deck with rows of grassy spears. The King and St. Leopold. Nor shines the glare of war's red brand By fort and tower and town; But there was sorrow in the land When that good man went down.

A wondrous, magic mirror. I gaze and see my features nobler shown That I can dare to own— Oh, nobler, fairer, dearer. Which inward graces brighten as they pass! How beautiful, how strange To note so wondrous graces! A queen might feel her sceptre cheaply sold If she could thus behold A glass wherein her face is Beyond desire made fair by magic change. Such mirrors no one buys, But they may may freely own them Wouldly love, who gladly greet the time. All these will have sublime Their souls and features shown them, Nobly renewed within their children's eyes. -Horace Holley, in Century Magazine. PRIMAVERA MIA. As kings who see their life-day pass, they have the heavy rime and the crown so had the trees that autumn-time laid down. Their golden garments on the faded gowns.

Great spring came singing upward from For in my heart, far carried on the wind. And knew my sun and song and spring were you. —Sayah, female, in the International TO FOLLY AND WHIM.

In apples, peaches and in pears A shortage may be found. But constantly in life's affairs The lemon's passed around. It greets the simple sighing swain, It scares the soldier bold, It bids the statesman off complain of the drought. Though drought and bug may prowl about This sturdy fruit prevails; The air is freely passed about; The lemon never fails. SONG Out of the dusky midnight, Over the silver dew, A spirit came With a heart of flame. Singing of you, of you. Dawn rose over the mountains, Gold on the farthest heights; And the robin's sang Till the wildwood rang Only of love's delight.

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 and owned by Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish his rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The question now is, will Ohio Afro-Americans be represented in next year's state constitutional convention? Dr. Booker T. Washington hired a special Pullman sleeper in Texas recently, rather than ride in a "Jim Crow" car, and did right. As far as we have been able to learn the story published in last week's Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer, to the effect that our people throughout the city and the state were to he recorded in the election books as "Negroes", when they appeared to register, is not true. This reminds us of this same paper's refusal the first of the week, to say anything about the local Republican campaign assessment levied on the Afro-American garbage plant employees, last week. It is a democratic paper, too. When the Press (Independent) sought to investigate the matter, it was misled and failed to get the facts on Monday or Tuesday. If the men had been asked to give what they felt able, we would not say a word. I told Miss McCoy how Bert Williams had told me that he, knowing the prejudice, would not play a scene with a white woman, says a writer in the Chicago Examiner. "If Bert Williams ever changes his mind about that," said Bessie McCoy, the whitest of the white, "and should ask me to play the other half of the scene together." Williams is an artist who can teach us all of the art of comedy acting, and art knows no color line."—Ex. Miss McCoy is right. We don’t believe Bert Williams ever said any such fool thing to a Chicago Examiner writer or any other person. Newspaper writers, especially those who are prejudiced, have a way, nowadays, of “putting words in other peoples’ mouths” for obvious purposes. They want their views accepted by our people particularly, and take such a questionable course in their vain effort to accomplish their purpose. Prejudice is never wiped out or broken down in any degree by yielding or giving in to it. Nor has Bert Williams won success on the stage by supinely yielding, as that Chicago Examiner writer would have people believe. A SIGNAL HONOR!

The growth of prejudice against the race in recent years has been sufficient to put us on guard and to make us careful to try to be properly represented in all law-making bodies where there is the slightest chance to secure such representation. Cleveland Afro-Americans have taken advantage of the opportunity presented to get a candidate and are entitled to the praise of our people throughout Ohio. But the all-important fight for his election is upon us and there are only three weeks (before election day) in which to do nearly three months' hard and exacting work. The question naturally arises, will they be equal to this gigantic task? We shall see. Upon it depends the election of the candidate they have so enthusiastically and triumphantly nominated by petitions bearing over two thousand signatures of all classes of voters in the county of Cuyahoga. May success be ours—for the good and welfare of those of the race in Ohio. ANOTHER OUTRAGE ANOTHER OUTRAGE! Owing to a recent decision of the Ohio State Railway Commission, Negroes could no longer be employed as porters or third-crew men in the state and recently the Big Four Railway had to discharge all its Colored employees, at least one of whom had served continuously and faithfully for more than fifteen years. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen as an organization admits only white membership. In 1902 this organization lobbied an innocent-looking act through the Ohio Legislature which required that a train crew should consist of an engineer, a fireman and a certain number of "brakemen," according to the number of cars. It provided a fine for violation of this law and made it a duty of the railway commission to enforce it. Neither the railroads nor the railway commission, however, enforced the law until this year. Recently the railway commission compelled the company to drop all train employees who were not "brakemen." This meant that some thirty Colored men who had been technically called porters, and who had been in the service of the railway for ten years in many cases, were dropped. They had passed their examinations; they had done their work satisfactorily, but they were not "brakemen," nor could they be "brakemen" because the union would not admit Colored "brakemen," and to hire non-union labor meant a strike. If the company had made all of those men brakemen or called them that, the law of Ohio would have been compiled with. The company failed to do that, as it would have caused a strike. Commenting on the foregoing, Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, pertinently remarks, editorially, in the N. Y. Crisis: "Then in spite of such movements as this the laboring men of America ask why Negro men are scabs." This unfortunate affair only reminds us of the fact that Ohio Afro-Americans should exercise more care in the selection of their legislators and should be far more careful to see that we are represented well in every State Assembly. If memory serves us correctly, we were without representation in the Legislature of 1892-3 when this "innocent-looking" and yet such a harmful bill was made a law. It was just the time for such an act, the lower house, that year, being democratic, for the first time in years. The next session of the Assembly must see that it is changed and our people throughout the state should begin now to prepare for the battle—for battle it will 215.00 250.00 W good to $1000 per week.

'NOTHER "WHITE HOPE" BLOWN New York City.—Sam Langford of Boston beat Tony Caponi of Chicago to a braille at the Twentieth Century club last Friday night. After knocking the white man down three times during the early sessions, Referee White seeing Caponi helpless and weak, stopped the fight after one minute and two seconds of work in the third round. Langford whanged Caponi at will and took pleasure in it, chasing him around the ring even in the first round. Sam and Joe Jeanette will fight twenty rounds at the Vernon Athletic club in Los Angeles some time in November. The match was made today, but the date has not yet been decided upon. JACK JOHNSON KNOCKED DOWN London, England—JACK Johnson struck a tartar in George Robey, a comedian, who challenged the champion to a bout at the Palladium last week. Wednesday, Robey led off with two swinging blows to Jack's jaw, flooring him before he could counter. Johnson, however, did not take the count, but jumped to his feet and challenged the comedian with a volley of straight lefts and rights, knocking him into the arms of the timekeeper. He then picked up his vanquished adversary and carried him off the stage to the great amusement of the spectators. AGED LOVERS PART AT ALTAR Kansas Couple Quarrel Over Property Within an Hour of Time for Wedding. Lawrence, Kan.—Instead of wedding bells for James W. Faxon, sixty-nine, and Mrs. L. J. Speary, sixty-five years old, there is to be a suit for breach of promise. An hour before they were to be married the preacher was notified he was not wanted. The couple fell out over a pre-nuptial contract. Each is well-to-do and their comfortable homes are on opposite sides of the street. Mrs. Speary went east when the wedding was declared off and her attorney has just fitted suit for her and has asked an injunction restraining Faxon from disposing of his property. Mrs. Speary estimates the damages to her heart at $10.00. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1911. ALASKA RICH IN OIL Wells Choked With Debris to Prevent Natural Flow. Conflicting Interests Have Long Sought to Control the Output of Petroleum in the Rich Katalla District. Seattle, Wash.—A strange story comes from the Katalla region, in Alaska. Oil wells that were bored half a dozen years ago, and promised great returns in high grade petroleum, were never allowed to become producers because of conflicting interests that were seeking to drive each other out. Recently new ownerships have prevailed, and the four principal wells near the town of Katalla were found to be choked with scrap iron, junk, and all sorts of debris. When the load was taken out the wells flowed 2,100 barrels of oil a day. For two years or more the country has been discussing the Alaska coal problem, pro and con, yet scarcely a word is ever said about the oil fields which border the great northern coal areas. The country at large hardly realizes that the Alaska oil fields are the newest to be developed on the American continent. The Katalla belt is a strip of land along the coast of Alaska adjoining the Copper River delta, and extending off eastward toward Mt. St. Elias. To the north is the Bering Lake coal country, and through this territory oil seenages are to be found. The Indians of that district had noticed these seepages, and had spoken of them to the traders along the coast, but it remained for Thomas White, a pioneer of Alaska even at that time, to make the actual discovery of petroleum. He was hunting, and on the trail of a bear, when he stumbled across one of these black pools. To assure himself that he had found oil he drew out a match, scratched it, and touched the surface of the pond. Instantly he was rewarded with proof. White made the first oil location in Alaska, and soon there was a quiet stampede to the Oil rig Oil Well Near Katalla. northern territory. That was 15 years ago. White went to Alaska in 1889. He was a member of the Israel C. Russell geological expedition that made the first ascent of Mt. St. Ellias. Again he climbed the mountain with the Duke d'Abruzi, when the Italian nobleman wanted to ascend the highest mountain on the continent. That was before the discovery of Mt. McKunley, in the interior of Alaska. A number of the early claimants organized an oil company which in turn leased to a second company—a Canadian concern—and this again leased to a third company, which finally did the well drilling. But the last company was to pay a big sum of money as soon as oil was discovered in commercial quantities. The four wells drilled produced oil. How much the outside world did not know, because the three companies began their long struggle to "freeze" out each other. It was not long ago that a fourth company came in and got possession of the "old English" property, as it was called, and opened up the choked wells. Two tons of stuff was taken from one bore, and the oil in its exuberance at being released, carried away the top of the derrick. Then it settled down to a steady flow of 720 barrels a day. Oil stood in two of the other wells, but it was found that when the flow was started with a pump, it continued at the same rate of its own accord. Being so light and volatile, wood containers are useless in handling the Katala oil. Therefore iron and steel receptacles and conveyors were ordered, and now are being placed in position. One tank of 30,000 barrels is being erected at tidewater on Controller bay, and two others, one of 2,000 barrels and the other of 5,000 barrels, will stand at the wells, about eight miles from the big loading tank. The distance is covered by an iron pipe that will deliver 1,500 barrels a day. Thieves Steal a Two-Story House. Cleveland, O.—Some one stole and carried away a two-story house belonging to the city.

THE MINISTERS' ALLIANCE'S ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. We the undersigned ministers, pastors of churches of all the various denominations in Cleveland and citizens of the state of Ohio, beg to present our wishes to all right-thinking and justice-loving people of our beloved city as follows: In view of the fact that we are contemplating the formation of a new state constitution, we desire that that much-needed document may be of broadest statesmanship. In order to do this, let the people see to it that none but worthy, broad-minded, fearless men be selected to frame such a constitution. Among other good things let there be no ambiguity of terms or compromising features in it. Let there be more no class or race discriminating features therein, thus giving any or present or presumed demagogues loopholes to assail the rule. or class deserving of citizenship and, full, equal protection under the law. Believing that sound morality must be at the foundation of all justice, satisfactory, progressive and ultimately successful government, such as will bring its subjects the largest measure of happiness and the greatest degree of justice and the greatest liberty, whether that nation or the world. We are convinced that eternal vigilance, intelligence, aggressive action on the part of the better elements of society in political matters are absolutely necessary if we are to have just laws and the administration to have them. We therefore hold that it is little short of a crime against society for good citizens armed with intelligence, high moral character and the power of the state, and engaged in the enforcement or indifference when important legislation is contemplated. We have done what we can to remedy them. Nay, more, it is of itself an evident truth that the securing of the benefits of government to all the people of any community is the first duty of any citizen, and the engendered responsibility of civilians of all men. The minister having as his good of the community, should regard to the shape of the political affairs of the people. He should not regard his office and calling as too sacred for him to perform his duties to the state, for before the church made him a priest, he should not allow the professional politician and political demagogue to arrogate to themselves the exclusive rights to administer the public affairs and the political interests of the good people of the community. The cleaner, holier and more intelligent the man the greater need has the community of his service in the guiding of their political affairs, and the more the people have assurances, the blessed ends of government are achieved, or exempts a man from performing the duties of his citizenship. Feeling that we have greatly neglected our patriotic duty in matters political which concern our homes, families and communities, we do now resolve to take such part in public affairs in the future as will assist in bringing about the best good to all concerned. Minister approving the address: Ivo, Webster, president: G. Slissle, secretary; E. H. Smith, Wm. Thompson, Charles Bundy and G. V. Clark.

The brick house is still in very good condition, although it remains practically the same as when occupied as a home by the sturdy old hero of the battle of Oriskany. Only a few rods from the house is the burial place of the general and this is marked by an imposing shatt, erected by the state of New York. The present movement to purchase OCTOBER 18, 1914 Shaft to Herkimer. the old homestead and preserve it as one of the historical spots of the country has been started by prominent members of the national and state committees on historical spots.

In the last named place the found Geo. Buchanan and the governor of this city, who are doing well. In Denver they met Oliver T. Jackson, also a former resident of this city, who is messenger to the Governor (Dem.) of Colorado. Mr. Cisco found three cousins in Denver whom he had not seen in forty-five years, and visited the engine house there which has a crew of six Afro-Americans with officers of their own. This company stands very high in the estimation of the vision chief of the Denver Fire Department has his headquarters in the house of this company. There is a restaurant on Ontario St., between the square and St. Clair Av., which is patronized very liberally by some of our people, and in which one of our young men was refused the privilege of eating at one of the tables recently, so The Gazette is informed by E. S. Woods who happened to be sitting at the table that our money is alright in that place if we sit at the counter. This ought to be enough for the self and race-respecting Afro-Americans who have heretofore patronized that restaurant; and that young man ought to promptly enter suit against its proprietor under our Ohio Civil Rights law. That is the only way to stop such miserable discrimination. Assert your rights and have them vindicated in the courts when they are thus denied in public places. That is the manly way. Then too, citizen rights are dear to all worthy of them. Any one of them that is worth exercising, is worth contended in the courts when denied. Donot supinely submit to such mistreatment! Is the Ohio collegiate gridiron to produce another thriller of the Ted Green type? Is another Colored football player to win a place in the Hall of Fame? Local followers of the gridiron pastime believe such will come pass in the next season. Joe Blue, present guard on Central High's varsity eleven, is the player whom, it is figured, will accomplish the feat. Blue, despite the fact that he is yet but a high school boy, is ranked with the best punts and drop kickers in the country. He is also a star guard, playing a wonderful defensive game, giving up a couple of clearable. A couple of years more of experience is bound to improve him still more. To how great a degree, however, nobody will hazard a guess. At any rate he will undoubtedly figure as prominently as did Ted Green, the old Case and Reserve halfback, the greatest Colored player Ohio can boast of. Green was noted for his wonderful speed. Blue kicking for him. Blue plans to enter Reserve next fall. He will not be eligible for the varsity until 1913—Cleveland Daily News. LADIES! LADIES!! LADIES!!

Remember the Sabbath day to keep tt holy. ‘The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. ‘The bistory of Sunday observance reveals two tendencies not easy to Spice tm one pristine —one toward Uberty, the other toward restraint by Jogal ant ecclesiastical authority. ‘The Jewish church In the days of ‘Jesus (ustrates the latter tendency. ‘The authorities hedged the sacred day about with minute, and often absurd, restrictions, forbidding even the visita- tion of the sick. For colossal foolish- ness probably the rabinnical regule- tions for Sabbath observance have never been equaled, certainly never excelled. Against these, and not against a true religious observance of the day, Jesus protested, and for-so doing he was charged with being a Sabbath-breaker. ‘The Medieval church fell {nto the same error. As soon as the bishops had the power conferred by the state to compel obedience they repeated the vielous example, and the ignorant peo- ple were forced to bow to authority which they had no band in creating, and s0 Sunday ngain became a day of burdens. But the other tendency—that of liberty—was always present, acting as a check on excessive ecclesiastic: ism. ‘The mystics in particular were active in protest in favor of a more spiritual and religious view. ‘The Reformation church reveals the same tendency. On the one hand we have the Puritan with his “blue laws,” bin ‘mage-breaking and his over-right- cous and over-bearing attitude toward the cavalier. By a strange transfer of standpoint the Puritan stands out as the advocate of authority—the author! ty of Scripture—and the cavalier of Uberty, with a marked tendency to worldiness. It 1s not generally known that in the days of Charles I, a “Book of Sports” was drawn up specifying what recreations should be allowed after sundown on Sunday. We have inherited these tendencies and can no more escape them than the hound can escape his own shadow. We vibrate between liberty and authority without any clear clue to the under- tying principle. There Is a difference, however, between our atmosphere and that of any past age. . It is no longer possible to compel the people to come to church. No pope, bishop or con: Yenticle would attempt to legislate for the modern man, determining for him how the hours of his Sunday shall be spent. In our time the average man's mind, on this question, oscillates. be tween a religious and a hedonistic view of Sunday “observance. ‘Though we have lost beyond recall some of the old sanctions for Sunday observance, ‘we still retain the sense of its religious ebaracter, but associated with this loss ‘of ite formal authority there has grown up @ disposition to follow pleasure, ‘one’s own pleasure, as the sole cri- terion of berty with regard to the ft test way to “keep” the Sunday. ‘This divergence of view raises the question as to the true religious prin. ciples which underlie the whole prob: lem, those principles, 1 mean, which sem to have survived the changes of the centuries, These are, in the main, three: 1, Sunday (s the Lord’s day par ex cellence. Of course, to a religious man ‘every day ts the Lord's day, but Sun day Is peculiarly so, because it Is the memorial day of his highest hopes, for on that day his spiritual life ts re newed by the living Christ, who rose from the dead. It is a day of spiritual refreshment, properly accompanied, therefore, by the eucharistic feast, and attains a truly Christian_and religious character from these associations. No changes of rubric or administration can alter this fundamental fact about Sunday. Whatever authority this day possesses in the eyes of civilized and Christian people is derived from the fact that {t is the Lord's day in a peculiar sense. © \T WASN'T CREPE. In the spring of °89 a reporter for the Traveler, Ople Read's paper, died. ‘The day after the funeral a visitor to the office found the editor and nis staft talking about thelr late associ: ate. “It has been a snd loss, {rlends,” the visitor said, "a sad loss, indeed.” He sighed and looked about the room. “al, { am pleased to see,” he went on, rithat you commemorate the melan- choly event by banging up crape.” ‘Opie Read frowned. “Crape?” he sald. “Where do you see any crape? “Over there,” said the visitor, point: ng, Scrape be durned!” sald Read. “phat isn't crape. It’s the office tow: 1." —Lippineott’s. A QUALIFICATION, Rastus was honest and industrious, ‘ut. in the opinion of the new minis- ter, unsoctable. “Nelghborliness, my dear friend,” xafd the dominte, “is brotherliness. Do you take the trouble to see much of your neighbors?” “Ab reckon ab sees as much of them ‘ax they sees of me,” Rastus repited “Perhaps.” sald the clergyman. “But 4o you love your netghbor as your sel! ** “AD reckon ah oes. panson,” Ras ths replied, “but you know, sub, f ain't pitiellary stuck on mabself neither.”— Success Magazine.

Sunday ts a day properly devoted to worship. We need not specify the form of worship. ‘The Quaker and the Romanist are alike in their funds ‘mental insistence that Sunday worshis 1s appropriate to the spirit of the day. ‘The essential principle in all chuccnes Is the proper development of the hablt of worship. The loss of te habit, fn ninety-nine eases out of « hundred. means the loss both of weeshtp and of Sunday observance, In talking with men who do not go to church any more, how often do we catch the fa mlliar refrain, “Oh, 1 have simply lost the habit!" ‘That is the key to much non-observance of Sunday worship. It is sald that the working classes of this country have Jost this habit. ‘They complain that church worship no long: er appeals to them. Just so. But let the working classes once again “get the habit” of worship, and they can change fie church, as they can do most things they set their intelligent and earnest minds to do, But they will admit that a Sunday without worship would be a calamity and sould plinge us deeper into materialism and sordid ness than we are, 3. Sunday {s also a day of rest. This statement at once raises the whole problem of Sunday work and amuse ments. Here again we must find some ‘wey to combine liberty with authority, as in worship and spiritual tradition Times have changed. Some work on the Lord's day {s unavoidable. ‘There In alto a difference between the indul gence in pleasurable amusements ou Sunday in the case of @ rich man an¢ his family, who have abundant oppor tunity for this during the week, an¢ those who are closely confined tn of fice, in factory or in mine during the same period. We cannot draw any haré and fast tines, perhaps, but it la mani festly unfair for the rich to go tc church once a week, or very rarely and expect the church to be crowded by the working classes. ‘The question of Sunday amusement: Java delicate one, where so muich de penda on a nice sense of the balance between Uberty and authority. On thing ia certain. ‘The man who doe not go to church once on every Sun day of the year misses his greatest re ligious opportunity to develop his per sonality In a system of sound spiritual habits. Sunday worship Is the bes guarantee of true spiritual liberty we possess. It is the Lord's day, but tt Is made for man, for bis beration trom the tyranny of sin and for his initia tion Into the fullness and power o eternal life, It is for him to make it so. Sunday need not be a day of dull ness or tedious routine if efforts are put forth to realize these principles Charles Kingsley used to play cricket with the Inds of Eversley parish tn the afternoons of Sunday, but insisted on thelr attendance at church as 1 ‘tuld pro quo. We have all known boy: who have given up church-going, too hecause they had too much of It a home, or in school, or in church. In all this, how clear {ts that we need to reconelie Wberty with authority and find a way by which thelr claims car be met! This way becomes clear as soon a1 we bring our problem to the supreme test of the teaching and example o Jesus, This is our final court of ap pecl: What would Jesus do? He sald “If ye love me, keep my command ments." ‘The whole question of Sun day observance binges on this on point. If we strive to follow in his footsteps, If we listen to his teaching if we would base our thoughts and ac tions on the broad and simple, ye comprehensive, lines which be incul cated both by bis words and acta; i we let our love go out to meet the In finite love of which he was the em bodiment, there will be no difficulty {x solving thels problem of Sunday ob servance. There will be no necessity to discuss whether It {8 right or wrong to motor, or golf, or cycle, or play baseball or tennis on the Lord's day ‘The question each of us will ask is: “am | helping or hindering the cause of my Master?” Above all, we mus constantly bear in mind the apostolic Injunction, which will enable us to ar rive at a speedy and sntatactory de cision whenever any doubts assall ub: “Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” Rey. HENRY DAVIS, 8, D., Pb. D. | When Joseph F. Johnston arrived tn Washington as a member of the Unt ted States senate from the glorious ‘and gallant state of Alabama, Senator Burrows of Michigan took a great fancy to him. One day In the cloak room Burrows turned to another sena- tor and sald: “Du Pont, stand up. | want you to meet Johnston of Alabama.” ‘The man from Delaware rose to his feet. “Du Pont.” sald Johnston, taking the proffered hand, “I believe you're the Infernal Yankee who shot me at Cedar Creek.” “Well, well!” commented the Dela: ware senator, somewhat puzzled “What makes you think 607 “1 see by the two pages of your biography In the Congressional Direc- tory,” explained Johnston, “that you commanded practically every reg ment in the Union army during the Civil war, Some infernal Yankee shot me, and { think It was you."—-Popular Magazine SHARK HATCHED IN CAPTIVITY.

It will be fulfilled to the very letter. Seventy years before the Holy spirit had moved Jeremiah to say (2 Pet. 1:21) that in seventy “years Jehovah would visit his people in Babylon and cause them to return to Jerusalem (Jer. 29:10; 25:12-14; 33:7:13). Now that word is about to be fulfilled literally and exactly. Every prophecy of the Bible is sure of literal fulfillment. There are many prophecies of the Bible that have not been fulfilled as yet, but they will be in thelr time, just as so many have been fulfilled already. Fulfilled Prophecy 1s one of God’s own seals upon the inspiration of the Bible. The infidels in the church, and out of it, have done their best to read the prophecies out of the Bible and their fulfillment out of history; but they have failed utterly. Some of the ar- uments that they have ventured upon in thelr desperation are pitiably lu dicrous. They serve to filustrate what fools wise men become when they undertake to fight against God (Rom. 1:22). What a remarkable way God took to fulfill his own word! He first brings to the front a man not yet born when the prophecy was made, and then puts f. into his heart to fulfill his word. “The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus.” God has a strange but mighty way of moving upon the hearts of men. He can Prompt a king to help his people (Prov. 21:1; Ezra 7:27; 6:22). He can put It Into the heart of a rich man to send help to a poor man just at the hour of bis need. He docs it today just as well as in the days of Ezra, The man who ts in league with Ged can bring all the the kings of earth to his assistance. Though it Was “the word of the Lord” that was fulfilled at this time, it had been spoken “by the mouth of Jeremiah.” But it was not Jeremlah's word What Jeremiah says 1s not his own word, but God's and so what Isaiah says, and Paul and John. This is very different theory of inspiration from that which ts popular with “ad: vanced thinkers” today, but it 1s the true theory, as history abundantly dem- onstrates. “The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth.” Cyrus was a wise man to recognize the source of his power.

Jer. 27:6, 7; Dan 2:87, 38; 1:4, 25, 92). It would be well if men of wealth and influence and power today recognized this truth (an. 5:1921), Cyrus not only rec ognized the source of his great pow: er, but also bis obligation to obey and Serve ‘him who had placed hin in exalted position. Many there are who, theoretically at least, acknowl edge God as the giver of all they have, but they do not recognize their obligation to obey him in practical Ute, Jehovah's charge to Cyrus ts found in the prophecy of Isaiah (Isa, 44:26-28; 45:12. 13).

But these very wise men of to day have found out what hax been hidden from all the good and great and wise all these years. “It is bet ter not to know so many things than to know so many things that are not 80." “His God be with him.” Cyrus could wish for nothing better tor those who were to go up. That wish Included everything. If God was with them, no one could be against them (Rom. 8:51). and they could be sure that God would be with them; for ne has promixed to be with thoxe who obey and serve him (Josh. 1:9; 1 Ch. 28:20; Matt. 28:20; Heb, 13:5). fy- ery one in every place was to co-oper- ate {n sending God's people of that place to Jerusalem to do the work.

The leaders of Judah and Benjamin responded promptly and heartily to the decree of Cyrus, ‘Those who went were those “whose splrit God had stirred.” God had first stirred up the spirit of Cyrus to make the proclamation (2 Ch, 36:22) and now God's spirit stirred up the people to carry It out (ef. Neh. 2:12; Prov. 16:1; Phil. 2:12). ‘The purpose of the return was religious rather than po- tical, “to build the house of Jehovah which Is in Jerusalem.” Every one on every hand engerly co-operated and strengthened thelr hands. Sel dom is such universal co-operation seen in the work of God. There was cheerful giving on every hand (of. 2 Cor. 9:7). ‘The sacred vessels that ‘had belonged to the house of Jehovah, ‘but which Nebuchadnezzar hind car: ‘led away in the sack of the city and had desecrated them by putting them ‘in the house of his gods, and which Belshazzar had Curther desecrated to adorn his heathen debauch (Dan. 5:2). were, brought forth by Cyrus And restored to thelr proper use. ‘What Cyrus did, he did with a hearty good will. These were entrusted to Sheshbazzar. Sheshbazzar {s the Per- sian name of Zerubbabel. There were 5.400 vessels in all, but in the numbers specified fn vs. 9, 10, there were but 2,499; presumably only the chief vessels are specified, spoons, ‘ete,, being omitted. The list given in Esdras 2:13, 14, sums up 6.469. COULDN'T TAKE HIS PLACE. Joseph P. Sherrer told a humorous “experience” while “automobile _rid- Ing,” says the Milwaukee Sentinel, which, he said, tllustrated the sarcasm which’ a woman is capable of when oc. casion demands, “We were going along at an awful speed,” he sald. “I didn't see the dog, but I heard kis "ktkl,’ so 1 ordered the chauffeur to stop. Going back, we found an trate lady standing over her dead dog—one of the ugliest dogs you ever saw. “She met us with tirade of re. marks, telling us in no uncertain terms what she thought of us and au: tomobiles in general, finishing up by calling us the murderers of her dog. It was then that I thought { would pacify her “*Madam,’ 1 said, ‘I will replace your dog.” “Sir! she said, in « freezing tone of voice, ‘you flatter yourself.’” WANTED AN ENCORE. She remembered him quite clearly. He was the honest-faced tramp who had called some months ago, and who had so touched her that she gave him some of her husband's leftom clothing. “Come inside, my poor man,” she sald warmly, “and | will give you a cup of nice hot tea and some cake.” “No, thank yer, mum,” answered the tramp; “I don’t want yer tea or yer cake, I've just called to tell yer, mum, that In one of the pockets of that weskit you gave me larst summer, mum, 1 found a five-pound note!” "Good gracious!” exclatmed the as- tonished housewife "And you mean to toll me, you good, honest man, that you have called to bring tt back?" “No, mum," answered the tramp; “not exactly, mum.

You find women every: where and women’s questions upper- most in the papers and periodicals: women are taking the place of men in many caltings, and new businesses are springing up in which the service of men ix hardly required. The sex Is Invading the professions and making desperate attempts to enter politics, and no force seems able to stop them, not even nature herself It seems, in fuct, as If nature de- sided that things should be so. She has been magnificently patient with men and now she is giving her own sex a chance, for it is agreed that nature is feminine Man has proven himself thoroughly Incapable of civilizing women, and now woman is going to civilize her: self in her own way. Men are already calling the process barbarous, but that cannot stop it, Sticks and stones may break ber bones, as thelr substitntes have done on maby ocea- sions, but names, as men ought to know by this, will never hurt her. Men have always resorted to the thme-worn custom of calling names when women have done anything out- side the conventions established for them by men, But all proper women have not cared a Jot. And they do not care today. ‘One cannot, of course, apeak of the great part women have played even in helping men to accompiish what they have, The hovering care of woman, the maternal side of her, 1s fa thing lacking phrases and words to express it withcut appearing to be sentimental, Probably that {s due to the fact that men, having appointed themselves lords of language as of others things, have forgotten to in- vent other than maudlin word com- binations for the expression of the mother spirit. Men are so sentl mental, much more so than women, and most of what they have written about this subject reminds one of the wordy enthusiasm of a drunken man for the mother he neglects when sober. Men have been absurdly dependent upon women even In thelr follles; man might be described as the animal which is always tied to a woman's apron strings. Women brood over men not only in childhood, in youth, Dut always Men only admit this sentimentally, or else with shame, and probably this Is because that (0 ad- mit this power of mothering Is to admit the existence of a greater power than he himself possesses. But above all objections to woman's power on the part of man Is the great objection to woman's personalisms. “Women will never make comrades of legislators (or any other old thing) because they cannot be imper- sonal," that is the eternal cry of de- parting man. Alas! the stupldity of ft! Men will not learn that even they never accomplish things unti! they have become as personal as women; that, In short, personality ts a sign of vitality. It is actually be- ‘cause women cannot be impersonal that they are going to win. Men can only be personal when he practices the fine arts; woman has long since learned the more difficult art of being personal In all things, especiaily In the things that matter. KITCHENETTES. A good cleaning fluid is made of sul- phurle ether, two drams: chloroform. two drams; alcohol, four drams, and ofl of wintergreen, twenty. drops.

When a buckle is required for a dress and you don't care to spend a jot om one, try this: Cut out the shape you want In heavy cardboard. Cover it with the material of which the dress is made and then trim tt with whatever trimming is being used, A pretty one was made of row after row of beads to match a dress trimmed with bead fringe. Cover one with Ince, gold tissue or anything or nate and see what a pretty, Inexpen- sive ornament for the back or front of ‘a girdle you can have, HOW TO RELIEVE THE ACHING HEAD A good cleansing cream to remove grime and the dust of travel, plenty of fragrant rice or talcum powder to freshen one after the bath, and a generous bottle of eau de cologne to bathe one’s wearied and aching head —these are some of the “must haves” of most women travelers, ‘Smelling salts may also prove use- ful, cucumber cream will relieve sun- burn, and peroside may not come CHERRY DUMPLINGS.

As he thought of her long and useful life, and looked upon her sweet, placid countenance bearing but few tokens of her ninety-two years of earthly pilgrimage, he was moved to ask her, "My dear Mrs. S., what has been the chief source of your strength and sustenance’ during all these years? What has appealed to you as the real basis of your un- usual vigor of mind and body, and has been to you an unfailing comfort throngh Joy and sorrow? Tell me, that | may pass the secret to others, and, if possible, profit by it myself.” ‘The old lady thought a moment, then lifting her eyes, dim with age, yet kindling with s eet memories of the past, answered briefly, “Victuals.” September Lippincott's.
