TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 48. Latest in Parasols Photo, Copyright, by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. An odd shaped parasol is the "peak parasol" of unique design. It is of a deep lace edging made of the same material as the little lace jacket worn by the model. The jacket is worn over a gown of changeable silk. It is for seashore wear and worn without a hat. IN MILITIA UNESSE ESTABLITA TWENTY-NINTH Latest in Photo, Copyright, by Underwood & An odd shaped parasol is the "of a deep lace edging made of the s worn by the model. The jacket is w is for seashere wear and worn without COMPLETE COSTUME. - Natty blue cashmere is used for this costume; the Magyar bodice and skirt are cut together, and fasten at back; the square neck is filled in with a yoke of piece lace. A fold of material is put down left side to represent a wrapped seam, buttons with braid are sewn inside this, a simple embroidery pattern trims front. The undersleeves are of piece lace; the waist is drawn in by gathers that are covered by a stitched band of material. Materials required: 2½ yards 48 inches wide, % yard lace 18 inches wide, 1 dozen buttons. Glass Buttons. Glass buttons are quite the fashion, and come in all colors and sizes; they are a distinctive mark of this season's suit wherever seen. Red and black ones are shown in two sizes; these have the appearance of bone; others resemble clouded amber beads, and are appropriate for the most dressy gown; others come in transparent crystal of all shades, dark and light blue, green and black; and in black there are those which look like shoe buttons. Mother-of-pearl buttons are also largely in demand, square and round; the large square ones with flat surfaces, are 25 cents each. Serges Are Popular. Serges are prime favorites for the tailored suits. Poiret uses these modish materials for a number of his best creations. Whipcords in two-tone colors in a great variety of qualities are also popular. Tans, grays and dull blues are the leading shades. The interest in white, cream and fancy woven serges increases as the season advances. THE GAZETTE This Season's Linen Suits Are Made With None or Very Little Trimming. While the coarse, dinens are used, those made of the finer twisted thread are liked quite as well. Very little trimming is needed. The collar and cuffs or the lingerie flair at neck and wrists suffice, though, of course, buttons and buttonholes, lace and embroidery may figure as trimming. Oddity of cut is, however, the only thing necessary for those who wish something different. It is surely different enough to have the back of the coat and skirt cut across on the blazer or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such manipulations offer no difficulties to the laundress. These suits may be made coat and skirt fashion or in the coat and dress effect. Both styles have their good points, many considering the former the most economical, since a fresh blouse may be donned as often as the wearer pleases. And sleeves and necks do have a way of becoming soiled before it is necessary to send the entire dress to the laundry. Many dresses are being made, too, in linen and kindred weaves. The severity of these all-in-one gowns is beginning to disappear. While the puffs seen on taffetas are not available there are plipings, inlayings and bands in contrasting fabrics. Fancy linens and linens with openwork borders are effectively utilized, though one who is at all clever at designing will be able to achieve very fine suits with the plink sort. It's the design, cut and finish that counts, also the accessories. One girl, for example, is to look smart in her white linens this summer; the only color she is to add is sapphire or coral, as the spirit may move her. Whether she chooses the blue or the odd pink shade she will wear it in the shape of stilt stockings, ribbon watch fob and necklace, and no other color will appear except she chooses to carry a parasol in the color she is wearing. Wired Feathers for Hats. As the hats are all trimmed very high wired feathers arranged to sew on hats may be purchased, and flowers also in poupon effects. One of these feather tower effects costs $4.50; others are near the one dollar margin; the price varies according to the quality and kind of feathers. Algrettes are still in evidence, though more in white than black. In buying white ostrich feathers of the less expensive grade it is well to run one's hand gently down the length of the quill, pressing back the feather to see that it has been properly dyed, as these aps to show the blown of the natural feather in the outdoor light and the breeze. For the Summer Resort The very thin negligees are so delightful that one sometimes forgets they may not be practical, for many summer resorts are cool at night and in the early hours of the day, and for these places it is better to take something of heavier weight, such as an alabastros negligee. These may be had with a deep collar of dotted Swiss, made with Valenciennes insertion and edging and in pastel colors. The sleeves are finished with a deep cuff of dotted Swiss and lace. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1912. MANY WAITERS FAVOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE Believe That Organization Wil Ameliorate Present Conditions. WAITERS EXPRESS OPINIONS—J. L. DICKERSON OF YALE UNIVERSITY DINING CLUB AND S.C.JORDAN OF WAITERS' PROTECTIVE LEAGUE WRITE, Since the announcement that the colored waiters throughout the United States are planning to hold a national convention some time this summer or fall and discuss ways and means to further their interest, many communications have been received in which views are given as to why the colored waiter is losing out. Other letters have been received in defense of the colored waiter of today. J. L. Dickerson of the Yale University Dining club writes from New Haven, Conn., as follows: "As I am daily confronted by the news of the colored hotel waiter losing a chance for employment, I desire to say a few words in his favor. news of the colored hotel waiter losing a chance for employment, I desire to say a few words in his favor. "There was once a time when the dining room service of all the hotels of this country was carried on entirely by colored help. Then the hotel proprietors grew rich—many of them more so than now. And it is a fact that the colored waiter of today is far superior to the colored waiter then, when it was impossible to get an intelligent crew of colored waiters of uniform appearance. For now the colored waiter can read and write, while there are many of them who speak some of the foreign languages in use in the dining room. It is easy to get a crew of colored waiters of uniform and neat appearance. "Having such desirable qualifications, one is made anxious to ask what objections some hotel proprietors have against colored waiters. The answer to this would be that these certain proprietors imagine that their guests would object to them. But such an objection would not stand the test, for examination would show that these same guests are satisfied with colored waiters when they are served by them in at least one of these places: The Florida winter resorts, many of the steamers, summer resorts all over the country, or the Pullman dining cars, in all of which places there are a great many colored waiters. "So we see that the preference of the guests has no influence in a proprietor's selection of waiters. And since the selection of waiters from races other than the colored has caused proprietors no end of trouble, because of help not only having no knowledge of the service, but some of them not even a speaking knowledge of the language of the nation, we trust that the proprietors may consider the colored waiters, men of long experience in the service and well-trained in both American and European service and who are sure to satisfy both the proprietor and the guests. All that the colored waiter asks is to be given a chance and then allowed to stand on his merits." S. C. Jordan, secretary of the Waiters' Protective league, writes from Kansas City, Mo., as follows: "That distant relation that exists among the colored waiters and their failure to acquaint themselves with the fraternal or fellow-feeling, has been the gulf between them and success. Not only as a unit in society is the line clearly drawn, but at their every day vocation, where men are compelled by force of circumstances to stand side by side in the dining rooms and earn their daily bread; the spirit of indifference in regards of each other's feelings is of such a magnitude that to give the guest at his fellowworker's table a glass of water, or to stoop to catch the request for more bread or the Lea and Perrin, becomes a burden of grief to him and a cause for a great assistance. "I am in possession of evidence whereupon the request of a guest for an idle waiter to get him more bread, the waiter first sought the head waiter to find out who was serving the party (while he knew all the time), and when told, regards of who the waiter was, if convenient for him to get the bread to do so, this waiter's face grew long and sulky, and his expression reminded one of a balky horse refusing to pull his load. This same waiter walked over that large dining room, scanning trays trying to scrape up sufficient bread for the guest, and at last upon his failure to do so—of course—was forced to go straight forward to the kitchen. In this time the guest had appealed to the head waiter, who in turn riprimanded the slovenly and ill-natured waiter for such conduct, and was confronted with this complaint, 'I am not here to wait on these other fellows.' Thus that waiter had not bound anyone to make unto him a return of thankfulness. "And there are countless other things that could be mentioned which happens every day in nearly every hotel where colored boys are employed that would substantiate the argument that the necessity of creating a fraternal spirit in the profession becomes a past of every waiter, and head waiter's duty to work unceasingly for the ultimate assurance of such a fraternity. The generous man cannot but regret to see dissension and disputes among his brethren. Only the base and ungenerous delight in discord. It is the poorest occupa tion of humanity to labor to make men think worse of each other; yet those workers are in the majority of the colored waiters' profession. They are ever ready to consure rather than to praise. Jealousy has wrought a complete dissolution, and the profession stands today in a perfect Babylonian condition. "Every trade or profession of the white man is linked cohesively by some fraternal force that brings them in contact, and harmonizes their interest in each other's welfare, regarding the trade or profession which they pursue for livelihood. The duty of every waiter should be to endeavor or make men think better of his neighbor, to quiet, instead of aggravating difficulties to bring together those who are severed or estranged, to keep friends from becomingoes, and to persuade foes to become friends. To do this, they must need control their own passions, and be not rash and hasty, nor swift to take offence, nor easy to be angered; for anger is a professed enemy to counsel. "When the colored waiters learn the good of fraternity, and fraternity applies its principles to the advancement of the profession, harmony, peace and tranquility of thought, one towards the other, shall be much in evidence here and elsewhere. Then, like the gradual dawning of civilization upon the American people, hotels that heretofore have looked upon the native negro with disdain, will throw open their doors and bid them welcome. Why? Because the reformation that will have taken place in their character, manner, increased knowledge of service, temperament, additional languages, all due to the harmonious relation brought about through fraternity. "The writer appeals to the profession all over the United States to catch hold of the spirit of fraternity and arouse the thoughtless brothers, that to obligate ourselves to a principle that has a tendency to increase our prestige means that to respect that obligation, will result in the future generation looking forward for new fields to conquer." SIGNS OF THE TIMES When you see A large mass of velvet decorated with waving willow plumes, and pink feathers, and buckles, and chiffon, and what not come along the street, it is a sign there's a woman under it. A broad-shouldered, slim-waisted beauty drop her purse in the street car and look anxiously about her for some kind party to pick it up for her, it is a sign she has her hobble skirt on. A man down a cellar looking for the leak in the gas pipe with the aid of a match, it is a sure sign he is going to find it. A very badly frightened man and an overjoyed woman marching up the aisle to the tune of "tum, tum-tum," it is a sign of a wedding. A man put sugar and cream in his soup at a public dinner, it is a sign he is not what might be called an urbanite. A woman go into a telephone booth and talk twenty-eight minutes to a dear lady friend in the next street at an expense of about fifty cents, it is a sign she hasn't said a word worth listening to. A man sitting in a street car suddenly jump up and offer a homely looking 300-pound woman his seat, smiling at the same time with the expression of a dying gladiator, it is a sign she has just stepped on his foot. A man with all his hair growing south of his ears going to sleep in the theater, it is a sign the performance is not musical comedy. A man run gayly or nicely up the steps of his home at 4:15 a.m. it is a sign he is single or his wife's away. A young woman lying in a hammock, her dresses tucked about her feet, her arm under her cheek, her face fushed, her ill-white hand drooping gracefully down, and her eyes closed, it is a sign she is wide awake and expecting some one. A man and woman dining out and having a perfectly glorious and happy time of it, smiling sweetly at each other all the time, it is a sign they are married. P. S.—But not to each other BREAD OMELET. A good bread omelet can be made by softening a cupful of the soft part of bread in boiling water, pouring off what the bread does not absorb; to the soaked bread add a cupful of milk, the yolks of three eggs, an even table-spoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of pepper; put a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan over the fire; beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, lightly stir them with the bread, etc., pour the mixture into the hot pan and cook it over a moderate fire until the under surface is brown; then fold it together and serve at once on a hot dish. BECHAMEL SAUCE. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended; then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, one-half cupful each of rich chicken stock and milk. Bring to the boiling point and season with salt and pepper. Prepare a rich chicken stock after this fashion: Take one cupful of liquor in which a fowl has been cooked and add half an onion and half a carrot sliced, a bit of bay leaf, a sprig of parsley and three pepper corns. Let simmer until reduced one-half and strain. Hurst, Jones, Chappell and Connor the Successful Candidates. DR. RANSOM ELECTED EDITOR—PASTOR OF BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH, NEW YORK, TO EDIT A. M. E. CHURCH REVIEW—OTHER OFFICERS ELECTED. Kansas City, Mo.—With four new bishops elected and the officers for the various official positions within the gift of the denomination chosen, the twenty-fourth general conference of the A. M. E. church, which has been in session at Allen A. M. E. church, wound up its final business. The new bishops—Drs. John Hurst, Joshua H. Jones, W. D. Chappelle and James M. Connor—were formally ordained Sunday afternoon with impressive services. Each of the new prelates is widely known in the connection. Dr. Hurst was born in Haiti about 50 years ago. He came to this country when a lad, and was connected for a few years with the Haitian legation at Washington. Later he entered Wilberforce university. After his graduation, he was appointed pastor at Elkridge, Md. For sixteen years he was pastor of leading churches in Baltimore and four years ago was elected financial secretary of the denomination. Dr. Jones is about 54 years of age. He was educated at Claflin and Howard universities, and for eight years served as president of Wilberforce university, being succeeded four years ago by Dr. W. S. Scarborough. He is regarded as one of the most eloquent speakers in the denomination. Dr. Chappelle is about 55 years of age. He was educated at Allen university, Columbia, S. C., of which school he has been president for the past four years. For eight years he served as secretary of the Sunday School Union. Dr. Connor is one of the big men of the southwest. Unlike the others, he has not received a collegiate training. He has served as a member of the financial board of the A. M. E. church for the past four years; is presiding elder of the Little Rock (Ark) district. He is president of the executive board of Shorter college. The big surprise of the general conference was the failure of Dr. W. W. Beckett to be elected to the bishopric. Until a few days before election it was generally understood that Dr. Beckett would be one of the newly-elected bishops, and his name was mentioned favorably on every hand. Dr. Chappell, however, who also halls from South Carolina, was aspirant for the highest honor the church could confer, and he made such an effective canvass that he defeated Dr. Beckett by thirty-five votes. Among the other defeated candidates were the Revs. M. M. Ponton, R. H. W. Leake, F. Jesse Peck, James Dean, R. R. Downs, J. A. Jones, T. N. M. Smith, and I. N. Ross. The balloting for general officers resulted as follows; John R. Hawkins, a layman, financial secretary, succeeding Bishop Hurst; the Rev J. W. Rankin, Waxahacle, Tex., missionary secretary, succeeding Dr. W. W. Beckett; Dr. J. I. Lowe, manager of the Book Concern; Dr. W. W. Wright, editor Christian Recorder; Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor A. M. E. Review; Ira Bryant, secretary Sunday School Union; the Rev J. C. Caldwell, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor Union. In the election of Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom as editor of the A. M. E. Review the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, New York, won a signal victory. His strongest opponent was Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville. So overwhelming was the sentiment in favor of the selection of Dr. Ransom that all his competitors withdrew and he was elected by acclamation. The next general conference will be held at Philadelphia, where the A. M. E. church was founded in 1816. In connection with the next session the centennial of the denomination will be held. The report of the commissioner of education, John R. Hawkins, showed that nearly $60,000 had been received from the general treasury of the church toward the support of the sixteen schools and colleges maintained by the denomination during the past four years. This does not take in account the money paid in tuition by the thousands of young men and women who have been enrolled in these schools, the money contributed by churches, conferences and individuals. WOMAN LAWYER FINALLY LOSES WHITE COLORED DEATH CASE. New York—Miss Lucille Pugh, the young woman attorney from North Carolina, who obtained a disagreement by the jury on the first trial of her client, Leroy Polindexer, a negro, lost her case on the second trial of the prisoner. Polindexer was convicted by a jury of manslaughter in the second degree for killing Thomas Brown, negro, after a dispute over a crab game. Miss Pugh summed up for the defense and scored the police for what she alleged was their unfair antagonism to the prisoner. The jury was out 26 hours. This was the case where she referred to her client as a good "nigger" and well-meaning "darkey." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Writing to the Dallas (Tex.) Ex- tirely upon the negro. Why the bet ter class of white do not hesitate to press "Old Hickory" says: THE BEST HANDS threely upon the negro. Why the better class of white do not hesitate to say that negroes ought to patronize one another. Does the doctrine become dangerous when advocated by a negro? We believe our friend's argument is based upon a vicious fallacy—a fallacy that is rendered untenable by the facts in hand. We believe racial ill will be far less in evidence where there are thriving negro business enterprises than where the negro has nothing and wants nothing of the sort. But why talk? The facts remain that if a man goes in to swim he runs some risk of being drowned, especially if he is trying to learn how to swim, and that other fact is equally inexorable: he never will learn how to swim until he does get in the water. From everywhere come reports that the negro is going into the commercial waters and challenging all the dangers and perils involved. Other races have done and are doing the same. Why not the negro? Turner's book, "The Pennsylvania Negro," is a comprehensive and fain historical estimate, and students are reading it with avidity. Recently the papers have been teeming with letters on this work, and although men have drawn conclusions, the consensus is indeed favorable in the matter of accuracy. One striking feature is, the part played by the Quakers in the matter of practical aid and sympathy for the colored people of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Very many colored people either condemn or fail to award the Quakers their just due. In the first place this sect has always consistently and rigidly lived up to conscience. What they exact from themselves, they demand from others. They have always paid promptly and made others do likewise. When they bargain for work, the bargain must be lived up to. An appointment for a certain hour means that. Some people wince under a restraint, who are themselves lax of habit. All these things foster prejudice; but what is needed is to approach the attitude of the Quakers with a dispassionate mind. The best way is to recount just what they did. It is true that they were to a degree slave holders at the beginning and for the reason of the paucity of unskilled labor. They did not see the enormity of human bondage as quickly as the Germans, because they really began to wage war against the system as early as 1688 in Pennsylvania, but when they did, it became general. Even when chattel ownership was common, it was mollified by the Quakers in ways unlike others. They clothed them better, fed them decently and made it a point to teach them trade and text books.—Pencil Pusher in Philadelphia Tribune. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, the great American financier, talking of the money loss by the wrecking of the Titanic to a Paris reporter, said: "Oh, some one pays. There is no such thing as money losses in existence." That is interesting, from so high an authority. The intrinsic value of the ship and the actual cash and jewelry value that were sunk to the bottom of the sea cannot be recovered, but the compensation will be made by wealth out of the sea in other forms, such as fish for food, salt, pearls, and the like, but the recompensation cannot be got without the expenditure of other values in cost of machinery and of labor. The wealth is not lost, it is true, but is withdrawn from immediate availability for useful purposes. Years ago a young colored boy named Douglass went to Europe and studied the violin under the celebrated Rapoldi, a pupil of the master Spohr. He returned to America; but what was there in America for a colored man who knew music and who knew it better than his white contemporaries? He could do little, but one thing he did do which bore fruit. He saw a little white boy trying to teach himself to play the fiddle. He taught this little boy and the boy is now David Mannes, director of the New York Music School Settlement. Is it not fitting that David Mannes should be the prime mover in the establishment of a music school for Negroes now conducted in this city by David Irwin Mannes? - The Crisis. We have had but little spring, and summer is now upon us. And we should not forget to make every preparation to buy a home, because, if a poor man has a chance to lay aside anything toward the purchase price of a home, it is in the summer time. For this is the season which brings to a lower ebb the cost of living. And thus he is enabled to lay aside a few dollars. And we hope that the saving made in this way will be applied on a home—Omaha Enterprise. Tom Kennedy and Carl Morris, "white hopes," who were once clamoring for Johnson's scalp, have retired to the "also ran" class. A newspaper speculation it has that Johnson himself intends retiring after July 4. but we are of the opinion the wish is father of the thought, for if Johnson wins on that date he has a $30,000 fight, win or draw, with Langford in London, says a dispatch.

A GREAT SUMMER EXCURSION. We desire to call the attention of our good people of means, especially our business and professional men and women, school-teachers and others who are accustomed to take annual vacations, to Mr. C. T. White's advertisements elsewhere in The Gazette. An old and experienced railroad man in Canada and the United States, a man of intelligence and means, splendid standing with his own people and the business world in both countries, genial, accommodating and a gentleman, Mr. White is an ideal person to conduct just such a great excursion-treat as he advertises. This is an opportunity that has never before been presented to our people, and The Gazette is anxious that they grasp it as much for the future as this particular much for the future as for this particular instance. Mr. White should be encouraged in order that such opportunities may be multiplied. He has at his back the great Canadian Pacific Railroad, and those who take advantage of this great summer excursion can depend upon the best accommodations only—sleepers, diners, and the all the best improved service and cars on the best trains in either country. Write him for full particulars and ask any question in relation to the excursion that occurs to you, and he will give prompt and satisfactory replies and assurances, and whatever else you may request. As the time is short do not delay but write him at once. "GENESIS OF THE RAPE FIEND." The following editorial, from the Athens (O.) Dally Messenger of recent date, sent to The Gazette by Mr. E. C. Berry of that city, is worthy of reproduction: "The rape fiend. Horrible! Whence came he? Not by chance. He can be accounted for. Trace him to his source and you will find an Anglo-Saxon. There are no rape maniacs in Africa. They are the spawn of civilized lust. We are too apt to be silenced by false ideas of dignity and delicacy and to stand aside while hoodlums and the wrath-bladed seek to solve this shocking problem by hangings and burnings. To lynch a Negro is easy—and it has become an affair of small importance in the popular mind. Nowadays only double or triple lynchings or lynchings of peculiarly flendifish cruelty at tract much attention. But they do no bring us any nearer a solution of the problem. As wisely might we attempt to destroy a tree by burning the leaves that fall from it. The root of the evil is left untouched. The Negro, like the white man, is subject to the laws of physical, mental and moral cause and effect. He came to our shores unwillingly—stolen from his native land, and was made a slave. The men toiled in the field, and the women— "Well, all through the South—and the North, too—have appeared generations of "saddle-tinted" offspring of Negro women. Today the pure African is scarce in this country. It is a hard thing to say, but the first rape fiends existed in the days of our own grand fathers, and they were not black either. The millions of mulattos, quadroons, octoaroons and "roons" of other degrees are the product of white men, and of white men at their worst. If there is anything in heredity, surely the son and the grandson and the great-grandson of men whose abnormal animalism brought them into cohabitation with black women ought to have some just claim to charitable consideration. If the animalism of the offspring proves to be abnormal, too, the fault is not all his. Nor can a product of nature be cured by a lynching. Lynching may have prevented the condition that is upon us today had it been judiciously applied to our own lecherous grandfathers, who, with a soul lust unspeakable, first bridged the chasm between the whites and the blacks, and left to their mixed progeny a heritage of unbridled lust." Our only suggestion in connection with the foregoing is to call attention to the fact that there are many white rape fiends in both the north and the south—many more white than "saddle-tinted" offspring, quadronoons, and "rooms of other degrees"; also that many of these latter have white mothers, too. The defenseless black woman "of the south (and north), is not the mother of all the "saddle-tinted" rape fiends, by a good deal. There were, also, lustful white women, particularly in the south. Rape fiends were not produced solely by a "bridging the chasm" as the editor of the Daily Messenger seems to believe. JUDGE MACK'S BLUNDER. The establishment of a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. and a "jim-crow" Y. W. C. A. in Cleveland and the organization of a Cleveland branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was urged Monday afternoon by Judge Julian W. Mack, president of the National Conference of Charities and Correction at the meeting of the Association held in Engineers' hall. It was a TREMENDOUS BLUNDER! Judge Mack forgot that he was in Cleveland and the north, and not in Washington, D. C., his home, and the south. The best element of Cleveland Afro-Americans WILL NEVER PERMIT the establishment of a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. or a "jim-crow" Y. W. C. A. in this city, because such class distinctions are perniciously harmful in many ways, particularly to our mixed public school system; as well as being a miserable insult to the intelligence of the people of Cleveland, and a ridiculous parody on the boasted broadness of mind and heart of the CHRISTIAN whites of this community particularly. There is no more excuse for separate institutions of the kind for Afro-Americans than there is for the same for German-American, Irish-American and the various other classes of American people. Was Judge Mack taken advantage of by prejudiced local whites alleged Christians, who wish to get rid of the Afro-American members of Cleveland's Y. M. C. A., and use him in the vain effort to draw a shameless color line in CHRISTIAN work here in this city? It would seem so. SHAME! O. SHAME!!! Charles W. Chesnutt, Esq. Attorney Charles W. Chesnut, one of Cleveland's three members of the association's advisory committee, read a paper to show that Cleveland Afro-Americans are being treated fairly and gave instances of many being selected for public life. Mr. Chesnut also spoke AGAINST a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A., and Y. W. C. A. President Thwing who presided over the meeting and the editor of The Gazette are the other two local members of the association's advisory committee. It was unfortunate that Judge Mack followed Mr. Chesnut, the only local person on the program, and equally unfortunate that the promoters of the meeting did not have a good strong speaker, a local member of the race, to follow Judge Mack and undo the great harm he has done the Afro-Americans of this community. Those in charge of the meeting should have been for more careful in their selection of speakers, and should have permitted the local members of the association's advisory committee some voice in the speaking and other arrangements for the local meeting of Monday afternoon, and better results would have been obtained. As it is the meeting, while a success in point of attendance, was not the perfect success otherwise it should have been. [Name] Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois. Dr. Du Bois' speech was good but entirely too brief. We do not know how he felt as a result of Judge Mack's fulsome praise of Dr. Booker T. Washington, &c. It also, displeased the great majority of those present. This also lent emphasis to the necessity for the exercising of greater care, not only in the selection of speakers but also of members of the N. A. A. C. P. Anybody and everyone, white or Colored, who apparently stands high, politically, socially and intellectually, WON'T DO, Brother Du Bois and Miss Ovington, and the sooner this important fact is recognized and acted on, the better it is going to be for all concerned. Miss Mary W. Ovington of Brooklyn N. Y., secretary of the association, and Mrs. Florence Kelly of N. Y. city, secretary of the National Consumers League, who spoke on Woman Suffrage, were the other speakers. Miss Ovington confined herself, as she did on Sunday evening at a meeting in Mt. Zion Congregational church, this city, to a discussion of the association's work. WHITES SENTENCED TO HANG. For Killing Afro-Americans — Some thing New in the South. Birmingham, Ala. — Arthur Jones and William Watson, both white, have been sentenced to death and Arthur's brother, Walter, was sentenced to life imprisonment. Their victim was John Holland, an Afro-American miner. Jackson, Tenn. — George Shelton and John Balley, two young white brutes, who waylaid a family of Afro-Americans at the foot of Blue Hill, on a little traveled road in Decatur County, and with shotguns killed Benn Pettigrew, the father, and his two children, Fred and Pearl, afterward robbing the dead bodies and setting fire to them, were sentenced to be hanged Tuesday, June 23, by the Supreme Court June 1.

Wa. is its honored president. Unless we are very much mistaken, and it is our opinion that we are not, the "bosses" in Cleveland, Ohio have cheated Hon. Harry C. Smith out of the legislative nomination in his home district. We say as above, because practically all of the Negroes in Cleveland, and many white people wanted him as the nominee, yet in the face of it all, he was turned down. There's a reason for the measly treatment accorded this honorable gentleman, and we believe it is because he is a man we know his sovereignty under his own hat. -Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Richard Allen, the oldest employee of the First National Bank, of Kansas City, Mo., a member of the race, has carried hundreds of millions of dollars through the streets of that city in the 26 years he has been in its service, says the Kansas City Daily Times. Mayor Newton D. Baker, the former Martinsburg, W.

Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, as one of the delegates to the National Convention of Charities and Corrections, which is now in session in the Forest City. Mr. Smith being a representative man of color, he has been a key need of the people with whom he is identified, his fitness for a designation such as that given by Mayor Baker is unquestioned. Therefore we thank him for the honor bestowed on our worthy newspaper friend — Pioneer Press. Miss Helen E.

CLEANING, DY The Ministers' Alliance Banquet. What proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable feast, intellectually and otherwise, was the Alliance's reception and banquet, at Mt. Haven Baptist church, Tuesday evening. The pastor, Rev. J. L. E. Burr, who grows stronger every week with all of our people of this community because of his many sterling qualities and pronounced ability, and his good members had set a table and served a feast in courses, with the assistance of an experienced caterer and assistants, that would have been perfectly satisfactory in the Chamber of Commerce banquet hall. The reception in the church auditorium lasted from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m., when all were seated at the table in the Sunday School room. At the head sat Rev. R. Smith, who presided, while Rev. Woolridge held down the foot of the table and "said grace." The following program was observed: Selection by the Alliance. Scripture reading, Rev. J. E. Davis. Song. Invocation, Rev. G. v. Clark. Song, "My Faith looks up to Thee." "Our Ministers," Rev. F. G. Snelson. "Civic Righteousness," Rev. H. C. Bealley. "Service," Rev. B. W. Paxton. "Good Government—how to obtain it." Hon. Harry C. Smith. "Old Folks' Home," Mrs. Cornelia F. Nickens. Response, President of the Alliance. Introduction of new Alliance officers for next year. Their names and positions were published in The Gazette last week. All of the speakers aroused great enthusiasm, especially Dr. Bailey who referred in scathing terms to the cursing of our ministers in the recent county republican convention and literally "skinned the "aged" individual for his use of those vile oaths and epithets in connection with the war. Nelson's response was able and most pleasing indeed, as also were those of Revs. Paxton and Smith. Rev Elam White, P. E., of the M. E. church who was Rev G. A. Sissle's guest, was introduced to the banqueters. It was near midnight when the splendid social function came to a close. All of our local ministers were present except Revs. Bunday, Lowrey and Yewell. Boy W. Tibb's Recital. Nashville, Tenn.—May 24, Roy W Tibbs gave a piano recital in Memorial Chapel at Fisk University.

Chicago, Ill.—The 66 Colored delegates to the national Republican convention are the best treated guests in Chicago these days. Since their arrival life for them has been a round of festivities. They control the situation here absolutely. Their choice of united delegates either Taft or Roosevelt. They were divided on the temporary chairman vote, most of them siding with Root. Last night the Roosevelt men gave a banquet to them. As many more were favored with auto rides and a feast by the president's entertainers. After this week's festivities it is feared they will hate to go back to the simple southern life. Remembering Faces. Remembering faces is a gift, and one cultivated should it not be granted by nature. Many a kindly girl has been unfairly characterized as rude or haughty, just because, lacking this particular sort of memory, she has failed to recognize an acquaintance in business life such memory is an important asset and well worth the effort needed to acquire it.

COMMENTS ON THE TARIFF New York Man's Prediction of Repub lican Success in the Fall Election Brings Forth Applause From Hearers in Coliseum. FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Republican national convention called to order by Chairman Victor Rosewater at Chicago Coliseum at 12:01 p. m. more than 10,000 people. Rev. Father J. C. Callaghan, which was followed by the reading of the call for the convention by Secretary William Hayward. Governor Hadley of Missouri, a Rosewater man, called to the convention by announcing the adoption of a Rosewell roll call to take the place of the one reported by the national committee. Question debated by opposing elements 40 minutes. Chairman Rosewater decided to call for an adoption of the roll by the Chairman Rosewater announced that Elliou Root had been selected by the national committee for temporary chairman. He was the Taft candidate. Henry Cochran, a delegate, nominated Gov. Francis E. Cooke of his state the Rosevelt candidate for temporary chairman. Many fiery speeches made for both candidates. He was charged by the Rosewell makers for his speech the convention who had been illegally steam rolled in. Convention frequently in an uproar. Sergeant-at-arms announced that unless Francis Henry was allowed to proceed the convention the sturders would be removed from the hall. There were over 2,000 policemen and sergeants-at-arms on hand to keep the police. Speeches took up most of the afternoon. Then came roll call by delegates. This finished at 6:10 p. m. This was the result of the first vote in the convention. For Root, 558; for McGovney, 549; for Houser, 3; for Grona, 1; not voting, 8. Root began his speech at 6:18. Chicago.—Senator Root, after defeating McGovern for, temporary chairman of the national Republican convention, was escorted to the platform and delivered the keynote speech. He devoted his opening address to a defense of the Taft administration. Here and there Root elicited a ripe of applause, particularly when he touched upon the trust prosecutions of the Taft administration. Senator Root's tariff comment evoked a little cheer. Predicting a Republican success in the fall election, he was given a hand of applause. "We need not despair of American institutions," he said, and delegates and the meager crowd in the galleries cheered the sentiment roundly. Senator Root concluded his speech at 7:35 p.m. and was applauded. The formal appointment of the minor temporary officials followed. Senator Root spoke in part as follows: Root Univers speech. The struggle for leadership in the Republican party, which has so long engrossed the attention and excited the feelings of its members, is about to be determined by the selection of a candidate. The varying claims of opinion for recognition in the political creed of the party are about to be settled by the adoption of a platform. The importance of this duty by the convention, and in the acceptance of its conclusions by Republicans is to be applied the ever-recurring test of a party's fitness to govern, its coherence and its formative and controlling power of organization. And these depend upon the willingness of the members of the party to subordinate their individual opinions, and postpone the matter of difference between them in order that they may act in unison upon the great questions wherein they agree; upon their willingness and capacity to thrust aside the $j$ appointment which some of them must always feel in failing to secure success for the candidates of their preference; upon the loyalty to party organization; upon the party itself to its organization whose agency in government they believe for the best interests of the nation and for the continuance in power their love of country constrains them to labor. Are Necessities: Are Necessities. Without these things the country can be no party worthy of it. Without them party association is a rope of sand, party organization is an ineffective form, party responsibility disappears, and with it disappears the right to public confidence. A popular vote of confidence is a popular vote of confidence at the coming election because we have demonstrated that we are the party of affirmative, constructive policies for the betterment and improvement of the nation upon which the activity and influence of government can rightly enter. We claim it because we have shown ourselves a responsible and honest administration in which public monies are faithfully applied, appointments are made on grounds of merit, efficient service is provided to a minimum, derelictions from official duty are sternly punished, and a high standard of official morality is maintained.

We challenge the judgment of the American people on the policies of McKinley and Roosevelt and Taft. President Taft, in his speech of acceptance on the 28th day of July, 1908, paid a just tribute to the great service of the railroad rate law, the prevention of railroad bribes and discriminations, the enforcement of the antitrust law, the pure food law, the meat inspection law, the general supervision and control of transportation companies, and the conservation of natural resources, and he proceeded to say: Duties for Future. "The chief function of the next administration, in my judgment, is distinct from a progressive development of that which has been performed by President Roosevelt. The chief function of the next administration is to complete and perfect the machinery by which the standards may be maintained, by which the law breakers may be promptly restrained and punished, by which the accident accuracy and dispatch to interfere with legitimate business as little as possible." Republican administration which is now drawing to a close has engaged in completing and perfecting the machinery, in applying the standards and working out the practical results of established Republican policies, including also the development of a protective tariff and sound finance. Service of this kind is not spectacular. It receives little public attention and little credit until the public mind is turned to the importance of the public mind in the context of the highest importance. Great constructive national policies are not established by simple declaration or mere legislation or in a single day or in a single time. They may change condition in order to better them. They encounter inveterate abuses. They are opposed and evaded in practice. They require to be applied and enforced by a strong hand.

Gladys went to the barn a little after 7 to gather eggs and was attacked by two men. One of the men held his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming, while the other bound her. He tied her hands with a cord and tied handkerchiefs over her mouth and eyes. The girl was rendered unconscious by something she says the men had on the handkerchief which they tied over her mouth. She thinks it was chloroform. In struggling to get free the girl broke away from her assailants and ran out of the barn. The men followed. expected "Mr. Taft is very much pleased with the majority given Mr. Root and the line-up," said one of the president's close friends at the White House. President Taft had just returned from the baseball grounds, where he had seen the Washington Nationalists defeat the Philadelphia Athletics in a close and exciting game, when the news of Mr. Root's election as temporary chairman was announced to him by one of his office force. "Good," said the president, his face wreathed in smiles. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. C SATURDAY. JUNE 22, 1912. TAFT FORCES WIN SECOND VICTORY SUCCEED IN HAVING CONTESTED DELEGATES REFERRED TO CRE- DENTIALS COMMITTEE. DEMONSTRATION FOR TEDDY Motion to Substitute Roosevelt Roll for That Made Up by National Committee Is Admitted, Argued and Defcated. SECOND SESSION OF THE CONVENTION IN NUTSHELL `Convened presumably at 11 o'clock. In reality the gavel fell at 11:15. Real business 15 minutes later. Hadley of Missouri resumed his fight to replace 78 so-called steam roller delegates (TAF) with Roosevelt delegation. Argument pro and con went on. It was the fight started by the discontented Roosevelt men, who claim that they have been cheated. The oratory raged all day. Tickets called for forewarning and afternoon sessions (TAF) with Roosevelt delegation. Two claims were made by the Hadley (Roosevelt) forces: That 78 delegates seated by the national committee should be replaced by Roosevelt delegates and that the delegates in question on the floor should not be allowed to vote on the controversy. The test came on Watson's motion to table Deneen's motion to refer the matter to the credentials committee. The committee to table the motion was carried by a vote of 54 to 51. Taft forces winning by a majority of 54. This meant that the contests were referred to the credentials committee as the Taft men claimed they should be. Chairman Root ruled in favor of the Roosevelt convention, that the contest did not require Taft to vote on the fate of their own cases. "No man can be permitted," said Root in his ruling, "to vote upon the question of his own right to sit in the convention, the rule does not require any delegates to vote on the right for any other man's right or upon any other business pertaining to the convention so long as he retains his seat." After the contested delegates were referred to credentials committee, names of the committee on credentials, resolutions, and permanent organization were read. - - - - - Chicago, Ill.—Under the leadership of Ellhu Root the Taft forces, by a vote of 564 to 510, took command of the convention and referred the 78 contested seats to a strong Taft committee on credentials. The Taft program was interrupted only once, and that was by a 40-minute demonstration for Roosevelt which resulted like the other Roosevelt demonstrations, in nothing. A motion to substitute the Roosevelt role for that made up by the national committee was admitted, argued for three hours and defeated. Governor Hadley, who led the Roosevelt fight, trled every political machinery trick known to him to keep the contested delegates from voting on their own cases. He failed in every instance. He tailed in every instance. His original motion to substitute the roll was amended by James E. Watson, the Taft floor leader, so as to refer the matter to the committee on credentials. Governon Deneen moved to eliminate the contested delegates from voting on all cases. Watson moved to lay this last motion on the table, which brought the test vote of 564 to table, against 510 not to table, five not voting. The ordinary matters were disposed of in short order and the whole affair was referred by a viva voce vote to the committee on credentials as at present constituted. This showing seemed to take the heart out of the Roosevelt forces. It demonstrated that they were unable to make any large breach in the Taft support. They were able to gain but eight votes over the vote which they cast the day before for Governor McGovern of Wisconsin to be temporary chairman of the convention and this despite the fact that Wisconsin cast 26 votes for the Deneen amendment, while the day before she gave only 13 votes for the election of McGovern to the temporary chairmanship. The Roosevelt men gained two votes in New York on the test, the New York vote on the Deneen amendment being 75 for and 15 against. Forty Minutes of Enthusiasm. Led by a white linen frock, a blue and white picture hat and ten dollars' worth of pink carnations, nineteen of the delegates assembled in the Republican national convention indulged in 40 minutes of enthusiasm. The lady in the frock, hat and with the flowers was Mrs. Will Davis of Chicago, who occupied the exact center of the gallery at the beginning of a harmony demonstration started in honor of an exchange of courtesies between Governor Hadley of Missouri and Jim Watson, the veteran Taft man of Indiana. The delegates who had been sitting sodden and sullen all day thought it would be a good time to cheer for Hadley when Watson spoke a pleasant word for him. So they cheered. Then the Roosevelt people, fancying Countess and Baron Are Suscultus Wienna.—Countess Alice Alberti, 30, and Baron Kuertys, 20, died together in a railroad car because the barons objected to their marriage, owing to the disparity of race. The carons was found in the Vienna station dead, clutching a crucifix to her breast. The baron lay dying on the floor of the car, shot through the temple. He died later. A letter left by the countess said: "We are victims of a hopeless love. We wish to die together. Please deal gently with our bodies." Aged Man Sued for Jilting. New York City.-At the age of 83 former Alderman Samuel R. Myers of Brooklyn found himself the defendant in a breach of promise suit. Six years ago he took a second wife, but Mrs. Charlotte Frances Law, a widow, who says she is "about 50," declared that ten years ago Myers engaged to marry her, wrote her more than 500 letters and often renewed his promise up to 1906, when he married "another person." Mrs. Law wants $30,000 damages for beaf fitted. M. Well-known New York lawyer and former member of Roosevelt's cabinet, snapped on his arrival in Chicago to attend the Republican national convention. that may be the harmony business might have hit a psychological moment, took up the demonstration with cries of "we want Teddy." Ten minutes went by and the cheers were still going. By and by delegates, getting a little intoxicated with their own exuberance, began tearing up state standards and waving them, California began it, lifting a golden Teddy bear by the side of the neatly lettered state label. Oklahoma followed. Then the Ohio standard was seen to shake like a tree in a storm, while some husky Buckeye tugged at its roots. In another instant it was up. Here is where Missouri, confident that all this was a Hadley presidential boom, got into the waving and forth-with began to take the lead. A procession of Missourians, howling "Hadley, Hadley, Hadley" so loud that the cadence of their cries could be heard above the general roar, was formed and marched to the front of the hall. On swept the procession with California's bear bobbing behind the Missouri standard, with the Texas Roosevelt men who escaped the so-called roller in possession of the Lone Star standard and with Pennsylvania, Illinois, a part of Indiana, New Jersey, North Carolina and South Dakota all following in behind. Woman Leads Demonstration. In the gallery, about 100 feet from Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and her party and diagonally above Alice Longworth Roosevelt, stood a tall brunette, apparelled as the lily and waving a picture. The picture, singularly enough, was of Theodore Roosevelt. The lady's shrill outcries had caught the ears of the delegates and, like an attentive army, they swung on their heels and faced her. Instantly their cries broke out into a pandemonium. The hoarse howl of the Oklahomaians mingled with the rebel yell that came from the emancipated southerners. Backward and forward the lady gracefully swung the picture and with every swing the rejoicing increased. After the delegates had weared of cheering in their same old places they started to parade anew. The California delegation, led by that little golden bear, headed for the stairs that led to the gallery. Up they went, in Indian flight, two steps at a time and presently were surrounding Mrs. Davis. For a minute she shook her head; then, seeing that hers was an opportunity that seldom comes, she suffered the Californians to lead her downstairs and toward the stage, amid such an uproar as has seldom been heard in any convention ever assembled on this planet. Five minutes later, with the startled Root again tapping for order, Mrs. Davis was on the platform and facing the half crazy delegates. Her face was flushed. What she said nobody heard. It was about Roosevelt. At times her shrill voice broke through a half hull in the general hurry, but no single sentence was intelligible to any one in the hall. Every general on both sides had sprung to his feet and come to the front of the stage. Many of the Taft men feared that this was the beginning of the long advertised Roosevelt riot. The Roosevelt men felt that Mrs. Davis, having aroused the first enthusiasm for Roosevelt that has been felt in the convention, desired to afford her protection. Her address lasted a minute. Counselled by Senator Dixon, who took active command of his own forces, the Californians insisted in their determination to stamode the convention. Mrs. Davis was led back through the mob to the gallery. Two Die as Biplanes Collide. Douai, France—Two aviators met death here by a collision of their biplanes high in the air. The two men, both officers in the French army—Captain Dubois and Lliuet. Albert Peignan—were trying out their machines. Both were piloting their biplanes around the military flying grounds at a high rate of speed. Owing to the fog and the dimness of the dawn neither man saw the other and the air machines crashed together with terrific force and fell to the ground.

To get the next convention, in 1911 COMBINE THE DOCTRINES OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY L TRAINING GREATER RESULTS IN RACE DEVELOPMENT CAN BE HAD BY REQUIRING EACH YOUNG PERSON WHO WILL PURSUE A COLLEGE COURSE, TO LEARN A TRADE WHILE TAKING GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND PREPARATORY STUDIES. It is known by intelligent people and thinkers the world over that the Negroes of America are divided into two schools of thought as to what is the best course of educational preparation for the black man. Higher education has its blindfolded following and industrial training has its fanatical supporters. Some of us deplore the fact that there is this division of opinion; others of us maintain that it is just this failure of agreement that keeps awake many white people's interest in our educational systems and brings from them financial assistance. The ministry, which for the present comprises most largely the leadership of our people, and also the press—second only, in power of leadership, to the pulpit—are both divided in their views on our educational program. Many in each of these two professions can be found in one or the other of these two groups of thinkers—the higher educationists and the manual training propagandists. The possibility of a union of the two ideas bringing about larger results and greater good to Afro-American interests, seems to be hopelessly remote from the minds of a majority of the disputants on the question of Negro education. Many opposing groups of thinkers in questions of more opinion or of metaphysical reasoning, have, at different times during past centuries, advanced nearer the truth they were seeking by uniting the essentials of their doctrines and coming together in a new school of thought. For example: In 440, B. C., a pre-Socratic philosopher named Empedocles of Agrigentum, combined the Eleatic doctrine of "being" with the opposing Heraclite doctrine of "becoming" and helped to a higher plane the evolution of a system of philosophy. Because we are convinced from observation and experience in actual life that a young Negro with both a trade and a college degree has a distinct advantage over one having only a trade or a degree, the conviction grows on us that these opposing schools of Negro thought and opinion could gain a far greater advance for the race by unifying their opinions as to our educational needs. Southern Life Magazine stands for a system of training by which every young person will be required to learn a trade during his grammar school and preparatory courses, and in every possible case carried through a thorough classical, scientific, or philosophical college course of study. On first thought this might appear to be a ridiculous proposition, but on investigation it will be found that an industrially trained youth without higher literary culture serves only as does a well constructed piece of machinery; he sooner or later strikes a deadline and can advance no further; he cannot be a leader in the thought-force directing his industry. And on the other hand, many college graduates are failures because their talents and environment demand a life-work of a vocational nature. Many of them come to see their mistake, but in every case it is realized too late in life for them to make amends. The editor of this magazine has received instruction both in a trade and in a college course, and is on this account convinced that his conclusions here expressed are right from every point of view. He has tested the doctrine he presents, and speaks out of his own experience. But as well in the cases of others who have received the benefits of both kinds of training, has it been noted that they enjoy marked advantages over others with training in but one of these lines. A clearer statement of his position follows: "I believe, in a general way, the Negro should be developed along all the lines open to human effort, trusting to the law of supply and demand to regulate the proportion as to numbers in the professions or trades—those who receive higher education or take industrial training. "Personally, (and possibly naturally) I hold that every Negro who has the intention of pursuing a higher course of study, should, while taking his grammar school and preparatory course, be given a trade. The higher educated should, by actual experience, be able to appreciate the position and feelings of the working classes; thus the leaders will bear a closer relation to the masses, who on this account would entertain less feeling against those of higher culture. Then, too, whatever might be the issue for the Negro in coming years, forced or not, the higher educated will, with a trade and a profession, be masters of the situation."—Southern Life Magazine TO EXTINGUISH BURNING CHIM NEYS. When a burning chimney appears to be dangerous and threatening, place a few pounds of sulphur on the fire in the stove or fireplace while the chimney is burning out. The sulphur fumes are said to stop the fire in the flue quickly. It is often advantageous to let a chimney burn out unless it appears that the sparks may start a fire somewhere else. MFXICAN SPAGHETTI. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a granite saucepan. When hot add four ounces of spaghetti, broken small, half an onion chopped fine, a teacupful of salt and a little cayenne pepper. Stir till slightly browned and then add a large cupful of hot water and simmer till the water is absorbed and the spaghetti tender. When a man knows how and when to look surprised he is fast developing info a diplomat. A. F. HERNDON, FORTUNE MADE, TO TOUR EUROPE WITH BRIDE A. F. HERNDON, FORTUNE MADE, TO TOUR EUROPE WITH BRIDE Atlanta.—A. F. Herndon, one of the best-known and most highly respected negroes of Atlanta, left for New York, where he will be married to Jessie F. Gillespie, taking his bride on a wedding trip that will include the principal countries of Europe and which will last four months. Born a slave, commencing life in a community enfeebled by four years of war, handicapped by lack of training and resources. Herndon has achieved in the last forty years a success that is remarkable in the annals of the south, and has placed himself at the head of his race in this city, in a financial way and in all matters of progress. He numbers his friends among the white people of the city by the score. For many years proprietor of the leading barber shop on Peachtree street, he had for his customers the men who have made history, governors, congressmen, financiers, all of whom liked and respected him. Since going into the insurance and banking business he has steadily mounted in the world, until now, still far from being an old man, he has accumulated a comfortable fortune, built a home that vies in beauty with many show places of the south, and is a force and power for good among his people. Herndon was born in Walton county, near Social Circle, and took his name from the white family that owned his parents. He was only about 10 years old when set free by the close of the Civil war. At that time he removed to Jonesville, where he grew into early manhood, and it was here that he first practiced his trade. He owned a small barber shop, and by thrift and industry accumulated money. In 1882 he came to Atlanta. It was then that he established the "Herdond" shop that has been a part of the city for so many years. By successful management and his high self-respect he won the aid and friendship of leading white people, and began to lay the foundations for the fortune which he has accumulated. He was manager of the shop at 66 Peachtree street until a few years ago. when he relinquished that, though still retaining his interest in it, to become president of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance association, which does a prosperous business among the negroes of the state. When he came to build his home, near the Atlanta university, it is said Herndon consulted no one but, taking the ideas that he liked best, embodied them in a house that is excellent in taste and proportion. It is built of brick, with a white column entrance, and broad plazas on each side. The yard is beautifully kept and is surrounded by a substantial stone wall. "I designed it and built it myself." Herndon says, when you ask him about it. Accompanying him to New York Monday was his 15-year-old son by a former marriage, who will make the trip abroad with his father. They will return to Atlanta about October 1. CRAPS BRAIN TEST FOR ACCUSED NEGRO ALLEGED SLAYER OF DEPUTY SHERIFF PLAYS GOOD GAME AND IS ADJUDGED SANE. Rochester.—The game of craps was used as a brain test. The subject of the experiment was William Twiman, a Scottsville negro, who is in jail awaiting trial on the charge of having murdered Deputy Sheriff Bermingham. Twiman has been posing as an insane person. An alienist suggested if the prisoner could play craps it was a pretty good sign of a fair average mental ability. Steel die pieces were used in the experiment instead of pennies. The negro brightened up the moment the game began, and he played a winning gait throughout the contest. He watched his opponent sharply and never missed a chance with the dice. DISCOVER ANOTHER CONSPIRACY IN HAYTI FORMER MINISTER AT WASHINGTON IS AMONG THOSE ARRESTED. Port Au Prince, Haytt.—The Hayttian government has discovered proofs of a conspiracy which has been organized in the town of Aux Cayes by partisans of General Antoine Simon, former president of Haytt, with the complicity of some foreigners. A large number of arrests have been made, among the persons captured being H. Pauleus Sannon, former Haytian minister at Washington. The overwhelming majority of the population disapproves of the intentions of the conspirators. THEIR TROUBLES "I saw that man gazing into your eyes," said Maud. "Yes," replied Mamie, "I felt complimented until I learned that he is studying to be an oculist. I had the same disappointing experience with a young dentist who was always anxious to make me "unile." CRANBERRY JELLY. One quart of cranberries, one pint of sugar, one pint of water.

STATE Mosquito Exterminator New Jersey should cherish the alert kildeer for, according to the United States department of agriculture, it is exceedingly active in boggling up mosquitoes, especially the pernicious salt marsh species, eating not only the insect but consuming large quantities of the larvae. Although more frequently seen along the water, the sharp "kildee" cry is frequently heard in cornfields and pastures, and even close to houses. In addition to mosquitoes the bird eagler eats flies and insects of all kinds, and is thus a most desirable tenant of country places. That Active Germ A single germ in a forty-quart can of milk, if the conditions be favorable, will divide once every half hour, so that at the end of 24 hours it will have increased to 281,474,796,210,656. At the end of the 24 hours one cubic centimeter of the contaminated milk would contain more than 7,438,000,000 germs. This is the report made by the New York Milk Committee in the government's weekly public health reports. What's the use? "Ne Temere" Decree The "Ne Temere" decree, so called from its first two words in Latin ("Let me no rashly"), is the official declaration of the bishop of Rome, to all Roman Catholles the world over, calling upon them to abstain from intermarriages with those of other creeds, and declaring that Roman Catholles must be obedient to the rules of their church regarding such marriages, and their solemnization by their regular clergy.
