GIRLISH COSTUME HAS MERIT Pale Blue Zephyr Would Be Particularly Appropriate to Make Up This Dress. Pale blue zephyr is used for this pretty girlish dress. The skirt is slightly full and has three inch-wide tucks above the hem, then above these is a band of embroidery insertion. The bodice has a front of the material laid over a deep piece of the F trimming, with narrow pieces at the sides. Flaited net frills finish the sleeves. Hat of Tagel, with a crown composed of frills of ribbon, with a wreath of roses beneath and a satin ribbon bow at the side. "No Gloves" Graze. The "no gloves" craze is making visible headway. It Is a season for many and very large rings on the fingers, while more than a few smart women are just now cultivating the jeweled spider web, fastening from rings worn on the thumb or index fingers and little fingers on to a narrow, rather tight bracelet. All these hand ornaments, together with the several bracelets it is now modish to wear at intervals up the arm, render gloves difficult to wear from the practical point of view, while there is always the rooted objection in human beings of hiding their light and jewels under a bushel. Gray and Purple. There seems to be a veritable epidemic of neat, light gray spring suits. Every third girl one meets seems to be wearing one, many selecting purple as the relieving note. A black hat worn with one of these gray costumes looked particularly attractive. The low dome crown was left quite plain, while on the wide straight brim near the edge there was laid a flat feather trimming in a rich shade of purple; around the throat there was worn a close fitting feather ruffe the same shade, finishing at the left side with a cluster of pastel toned satin flowers.

If your complexion is a brunette tint do not make the mistake of applying a white powder. It is plainly visible against the darker skin, giving a fragrant "made up" look to the entire face. Powder is obtainable in several flesh and ivory shades. First apply a good cold cream, then dust on the powder, rubbing it well in with a soft cloth or piece of absorbent cotton. Be careful to have the powder evenly distributed, making certain it extends behind the ears to the back of the neck and well down on the throat. Brush the eyebrows and eyelashes to remove all traces of powder and see that none remains in the edges of the hair. Gift For Baby. Babies always need bibs, and it is easy to make these. They may be plain ones or fancy, finished with embroidery lace or feather-stitching; but an important point to remember when making a bib is to fit a pad of absorbent cotton under the outer-covering, else the moisture from the little one's mouth will soak through and ruin the dainty frock underneath. A pillow-slip is also a nice gift for baby. It may be made of fine linen, embroidered on each end with a dainty spray of blossoms. This should cover a small down pillow. Another idea is a bassinetine or carriage cover of French flannel, decorated with garlands of orisebuds worked in natural colored foss. To make the cover still more elaborate, crochet lace medallions may be inserted in the center of each garland. Three Types of Gowns. three Types or Gowns. There are three separate and distinct types of evening gowns this season, and every new dinner gown partakes of the other two types. There is the formal gown, with straps, wading draperies ending in a narrow train. There is the debutante type (worn by every woman who believes she looks best in girlish effects), which has floncess on the skirt and usually a sash knotted around the waist. And there is the pannier type, which is gay and chic and eminently Parisian, with its puffed-out or looped-over drapery and skirt short enough to reveal coquettish little satin slippers with high heels and sparkling buckles, or the pretty buttoned boots of satin, which do make the foot and ankle adorably slim and distinguished. Taffeta the Favorite Taffetta is perhaps more used than any other kind of silk for this season's little coat, though the soft satin stubbornly retain their popularity here as elsewhere in fashion's realm. Many of the costumes sent over by the best Parisian designers show fanciful little coats associated with one piece frocks. In the more conservative models the coat is in the same tone as the frock, though it is likely to be in contrasting material; but perhaps more frequently the coat contrasts in color with the frock, though its color may find an echo in some trimming note in the frock. Pleated Skirts. The new tailored skirts combine comfort in walking with a slim appearance, and the fashionable paneled skirts conceal their width in knife-plated folds which are only discovered when walking, and which drog neatly back into place at once. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912. COMMON INTEREST BETWEEN NEGROES There seems to be no serious thought or effort on the part of negroes anticipatory to the commercial, industrial, and political revolution logically subsequent to the opening of the Panama canal and as to its effect upon negroes. The commercial aspect deserves profound consideration; no less does the industrial and political. The tendency will be to draw into closer relation all the countries of continental America and incidentally the whole world, by intensifying the interests of the nations to facilitate exchange with each other and to develop standards that will better serve industrial and commercial relations. By reason of its proximity the south will take on newer life. If the vastness of its resources must be explored and developed, the capitalists will seize the situation with energy, alertness and tenacity. Against the exacting and tenacious capitalists labor must be protected. We still hear more of the replication that unions are indispensable; that they cannot exist without franchise; that it is unsafe to admit any laborers to unions without franchise and especially without ambition to secure franchise at all hazards. What answer will American negroes make to the question that they are without social efficiency to withstand the sacrifice that franchise and unionism demand? The Panama canal will take a new south. Who is not willing to admit the possibility of a new south becoming a north, a Yankee land? For an instance, we are familiar with white competition driving the neo wafter to the wall. Foreigners and native born are hardfast in the patches of the high cost of life. We must seek and dignify any anecdote of employment. Even the white woman is competing with the negro woman for the scrub brust. If the waiters' condition is without remedy, will not this soon apply to other avenues? There seems to be no public sentiment to quicken in his favor, either as to reforming hotel or as to demanding better "tips." This is also a phase emanating from a dwindling political status affecting the industrial outlooks. This political status as appertaining to the negroes of continents, America and its islands will be revolutionized. Negroes of the United States, in Haiti, San Domingo, Cuba, Brazil and Central America are to be equalized by the ugly hand of the arrogant Caucasian. Will this be done to the white man's taste or will nature foliom and suit it to the taste of the negro? Here are twenty-five million negroes inhabiting countries whose climate more or less is fashioned after the climate of their origin, whose land abounds in wealth, and where in some instances rights are equal and the means by which to defend them are equal. Prelude follows the American flag. The white man is growing the same everywhere, like causes produce like effects, what he has not done we may expect him to attempt at any time. It becomes a matter of common interest to all these negroes that justice shall prevail. The Panama canal will approximate them as if they were of states of the same union. Where is the negro leader of construction statesmanship to marshal and apply the means by which to bring about a better understanding and substantial helpfulness? This is the negro's prerogative. It is urgent to cast his future into the proper mold. The crisis is impending, shall Haiti retain her sovereignty, shall other island neighbors and adjacent countries retain equal rights and the means by which to defend them and shall the reaction be the political emancipation of American negroes? I do not doubt the negroes of these islands. They cannot endure serfdom. To them it would be more bitter than death. If the test is applied will they not only successfully defend themselves, but create a reaction that will produce the political emancipation of negroes? There has never been an instance where any country, however large, has conquered a negro country, however small. When Alexander was in quest of kingdoms, had laid Egypt at his feet, he fell against Abyssinia, was utterly regulated and had to retreat. England threw her giant strength against her, was defeated and had to withdraw. Italy fell against her, with 45,000 soldiers, and in the decisive battle that followed lost 33,000 soldiers and officers, killed and wounded, 20,000 arms, 200 field pieces and paid two million dollars' indemnity. L'Overture and Dessalines whipped England, France and Spain to a "frazzle." Here a half million black men whipped half of Europe. Cuban negroes fought Spain thirty years and won with the assistance of the 24th and 25th infantries and the 9th and 10th cavalries of the United States. They are now fighting for industrial and political emancipation. Will they produce another Maceo and win? American negroes will be affected eventually by political changes to the south of us. External forces once at work are sometimes powerful in events shaping other countries. When it became imissible that the revolt of San Domingo negroes against their masters would be successful, England said to the United States, "Let us abolish this importation of slavery." The queen-elect of England said: "I will not ascend the throne of England till slavery is abolished in Jamaica and Brazil." Napoleon in the height of his glory excclaimed, "If a handful of negroes in San Domingo can destroy 50,000 of my best soldiers, I could not hold Louisiana in case of war. I will sell at once." Halti sent arms and printing press to Argentina which precipitated freedom there. Let the American negroes lend Cuban negroes their moral support; let the hearts of the 25,000 million negroes of this section of the world beat as one. If their opportunities are lost in the impending crisis, what of the race?—J. Arthur Davis in New York Age. AFRO-AMERICANS IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES STUDENTS FROM MANY STATES INCLUDED IN HIGH RECORD LIST. Afro-Americans have shown brilliant records as students in the various high schools, academies and colleges during the past year, as may be seen from the following report: Miss Edith Palmer of Philadelphia won the free scholarship prize to Cornell university. Edward Witrop Robinson was awarded a scholarship at Amherst college. Bessie Ganner was valedictorian of her class in the Hilburn (N, Y.) high school. She finished a four-year course in three years. Marlon Reed of the Brighton high school was the best student to be graduated from a secondary school in Boston. She was valedictorian of her class and received a $100 scholarship to Simmons college. The fly fighting committee of the American Civic Association of New York city offered a prize of $10 for the best essay on the housefly as a carrier of disease. Willie Henderson, a thirteen-year-old colored girl, won the prize. Ethel Davis of Boston in a competitive examination against, 1,400 other pupils won a scholarship of $500 per year in Wellesley college. George W. A. Scott won the second prize in the Curtis medal contest at Columbia university in 1910 and first prize in 1911. James B. Clark, a junior negro student at Cornell university, was awarded the prix d'honneur in the annual competition in French essay writing and translation, held under the auspices of the Society of French Professors of America. Charles Henry Crippen of New York in a competitive examination won the state scholarship in Cornell university. Dorothy C. Guinn of New Bedford, Mass., won a $200 scholarship at Radcliffe college. Thomas S. Lowry, a graduate of the medical department of Howard university, stood highest in the Florida state medical examination. P. E. Robinson of Durham, N. C., graduated with the highest honors from the Northwestern University Dental School of Chicago. He was appointed demonstrator in clinics, the first time a colored man has ever held such a position. L. Aldridge Lewis of Nashville out of 15 competitors received the highest grade, 92%, for internship at the city hospital and City dispensary in Indianapolis, Ind. James B. Murphy in a recent test at the St. Paul (Minn.) postoffice made an average of 99.75 per cent, the highest general average ever established by a government employee in the northwest.

Discretion isn't a quality that gets high praise. Even the flavor of forbidden sweets turns to ashes. The first flowers of summer are the kind men find steep. The stamp of disapproval is far more forceful when not driven by anger. Laugh before the world laughs at you. A hungry mouth can be forgiven thoughtlessly. Once shy may get many times blitten. The gilded youth shows scratches pretty quickly. HOW MEREDITH NICHOLSON EX- ERCISES. They were talking about the value of regular physical exercise, and one of the group, noticing that Meredith Nicholson, the author, seemed pretty fit, asked him what he did to keep in condition. "Who, me?" he exclaimed. "Why, I don't need any calisthenics or things of that sort. I live in a house on the sunset side of the street, and I get all the exercise my system needs in building the fire every morning." "That doesn't seem to offer much chance for exercise," remarked a friend. "What kind of a fire is it you build, wood or coal?" "Neither," replied Nicholson. "We use gas, and I have to scratch a match every time I light it." TO STENOGRAPHER REMARKABLY RAPID RISE OF AN AFRO-AMERICAN WHO HAD AMBITION AND BRAINS. Washington.—A few years ago Woolsey W. Hall, an Afro-American was a laborer working for $548 a year in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but now, he is a stenographer in the division of printing and stationery, at an annual salary of $1,400. The story of the rise of this young man is interesting. Hall was born in Washington and educated in the public schools of the city. When he had completed his course in the high school, instead of accepting a place as a teacher, he decided to enter the government service, begin at the bottom and work his way to the top. He went into the bureau of engraving and printing as a laborer at $548 per year. He toiled hard during the day, but studied stenography at night and soon become proficient. In the winter of 1905, Hon. J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, was before congress fighting for the interests of the freedom of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes, and the bull of the testimony and evidence necessary to be presented to the committee of congress being too voluminous of his regular stenographer he employed Hall after department hours. Mr. Turner's sponsor in congress was Hon. Richard Bartholdt, of St. Louis, the then chairman of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, and the clerk of this committee at that time, Mr. Edward E. Miller, mentioned to Mr. Turner that he was overrun with work and would like to secure the services of a stenographer until the rush was over. Mr. Turner inquired if the stenographer's color or race was a consideration. Mr. Miller replied that the only qualification required by Congressmen Bartholdt, Rodenburg and himself was proficiency. Turner then took Hall to the capital and introduced him to Miller, who in turn presented Hall to Congressmen Rodenburg and Bartholdt, and from that hour fortune has seemed to smile on his pathway, for Congressman Rodenberg interested himself in Hall, worked with him over confidential legislative and personal correspondence, thus giving young Hall the best and most practical stenographic education it is possible to receive, and as a clitam to this work, in 1908, when Mr. Miller found the work of handling the omnibus public buildings bill of the 60th congress to require more stenographic help and asked that some arrangement be made to detail Hall to the committee, Congressman Rodenberg prevailed upon Chairman Bartholdt to request the house to appropriate for an assistant clerk to the committee and when the place was created, had Hall appointed. When Hon. Franklin MacVeagh became secretary of the treasury in 1909, Hall had reached the grade of messenger in the office of an assistant secretary of the treasury at $1,000 per annum. Mr. Rodenberg told Hall that a young man who was qualified by experience and competitive examination for a clerical place should not be retarded in life and kept a messenger, even at $1,000 a year, and without solicitation on Hall's part, Congressman Rodenberg of Illinois, whose interest in the race is well known, called upon Secretary MacVeagh and after a short consultation received a promise that Hall would be given an opportunity. He was at once transferred to one of the divisions of the secretary's office, as a clerk, at $000 (the regular entrance salary), and shortly thereafter he was promoted to $1,200, skipping the $1,000 grade. He has again been promoted by Secretary MacVeagh, to $1,400 per annum. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh is known as the "Square Deal Secretary" and he well deserves the title, because the employees in his department get a square deal. When the secretary "discovers" a young colored man who has made good he does not hesitate in giving him a promotion. There are 1,400 Afro-Americans in the treasury department and their annual salaries aggregate more than $1,000,000. WOULD NOT SAVE HIS HEROINE Balfour's toast of the "literature in particular which serves the great cause of cheering us all up," reminds one how an artist was once tempted to give the heroine health and happiness. "Clarissa Harlowe" ran its course in volumes issued periodically, and at the end of the sixth Clarissa was left dying. This so affected a misguided enthusiast that he at once offered Richardson $5,000 if in the next volume he would restore her to health. Richardson refused. Literature has its heroes.—London Chronicle. THE RIVER NILE. These are some of the pupils' answers to examination problems in Butte, Mont.: The countries benefited by the overflow of the Nile are Europe, Asia, Australia and America, because they are not there to be drowned. The source of the Nile river is its main strength. Example—A boy paid $8.25 for a wagon and sold it for $7.75. Did he gain or lose, and how much. Answer—He gained on the cents and lost on the dollars.—Kansas City Star. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. SINGLE COP AFRO-AMERICA The making of a man and citizen is the highest and most difficult obligation of the Christian father and mother. The home training of the child is of as much importance in laying the foundation as the training of the schools. Up to a certain age, say twelve years, the child is subject more to the influence of the mother than of the father. Indeed, when the mother gets through with shaping the education of the child the kindergarten, the primary, grammar and high school grades, and turns him over to the father for his higher and finishing education the father, oftener than otherwise instead of undertaking the work himself, pays some one else to do it for him, turns the son over to the preparatory school head master and the university professor for a term of seven years. In the main, the father has very small part in the home training and education of the child, whether boy or girl; the work falls mostly upon the mother. Women therefore, should have the very highest and best home training and scholastic education to prepare them to be the very best wives and mothers. The new president of Princeton university, Dr. John Grier Hilben, in his inaugural address, speaking on "The Essentials of Higher Education," stated it as his belief that "the chief of an education is the making of a man." It is "the progress of developing a power within which enables the human being to dominate the instincts and habits of his animal life." As to higher education this is true in a larger sense than is generally accepted. Only the person with the highest education is capable of overcoming the anima bruta of the heart in conflict with the animisma bruta of the soul—the microbes of the body that thrive upon ignorance and filth and die when in conflict with the animisma of the soul, of the spirit. It is from this viewpoint that President Hilben's definition is most valuable. But for the every day life we adhere to the definition once made in the Southern Workman, that education should aim primarily to fit the person to make a living, to make the most of his opportunities, along the lines of least resistance. Industrial education does this; coupled with a university education it does it in a double and higher sense. Much profit should be gained by a careful study of Dr. Hilben's elaboration of his idea, in the following: "While man is a part of the natural world he also belongs to the world of mind and of spirit. "The particular function of education is to give him the power of freedom and to make him sensible of the duties, and worthy the privileges of a person in the midst of a universe of things. "Personality, however, is not mechanically formed from without, but must be evoked from within. The appeal of the teacher therefore is constantly directed to the inner spirit of the student, that spirit of life which informs the man and puts him into possession of his powers. The forces which find play in the activities of the mind are like the architectonic principle which is at work in the inner nature of a plant, fashioning it into the form of grace and beauty. Thus with the emancipation of a free spirit at the source of his being, the man with begins to develop both in power and in promise. "An education is won by work; and the labors to be undertaken and the end to be attained may all be summed up in the command—Be a person. This is a command which is not merely the word of the teacher, but is essentially an inner compulsion possessing the solemn authority of self-legislation." It is not enough to train the mind to think wisely upon the small as well as the large affairs of life, which find expression in thoughts that are spoken and written thence converted into works; it is equally necessary to train the forces of the heart that work silently and crave all manner of food and drink and apparel that may gratify vanity for the time being but bankrupt pride and often character in the long run. The system is full of microbial forces that crave and lust after things that destroy health and make for scandalous expenditures that in turn make for poverty and misery in the end. The educated mind knows best how to control these silent forces that crave and lust after forbidden things, and how to deny them; while the ignorant, untrained mind denies them nothing and is finally devoured by the vanity that "eats, drinks and makes merry because tomorrow it may die." That is not wisdom.—New York Age. Men are needed on guard everywhere, negro men, who have their own best interests at heart, who know their best interests, and therefore have the best interests of their own people and those of the nation at heart. No man can help others who cannot help himself. That is a self-evident truth to all those who do not make a fat living out of others on the pretext of helping them instead; parasites they, who preach loud and long the wisdom of working and saving for the rainy day but who do not work --- THE WINCH DISTRICT themselves and save nothing, and must depend upon the charity of those to whom they preach for everything they need; gamblers they, who spend most of their time and talent thinking out how they can make something for nothing, how they can coax out of others, who want "to get rich quick," that they have worked hard for, by the turn of a card or a twist of the stock market, gambling for the most part on "a sure thing," alike the gambler in the Tenderloin and gambler in Wall and Broad streets. And there is another sort, of the parasite class, who deal in what people must have to eat and drink and wear, who adulterate whatever they have to sell and give short weight and measure, and carry the price on all things as high as they can without arousing the suspicion of the customer; cheats they are, and they are to be found wherever men buy and sell. Men are needed on guard everywhere to keep flying the flag of right thinking and honest living and dealing; to make a positive factor in their lives and the lives of others the Christian philosophy of brotherhood, of friendship, of common faith, without which no work can be properly done, no word safely relied upon. The word of truth and the works of honest men go together; when so united in one person all the community singles him out and says of him, "Now, there's an honest, reliable man who can be depended upon to do what he says he will do." A certificate of character like that in any community is worth a fortune to any man. Our young men in all sections are going into business for themselves; they should do it and be encouraged in doing it, because a race of servers, of loafing parasites, who make all and spend all of and with others than their own, hewers of wood and drawers of water, with no great enterprises of their own, matured or on the way to maturity, cannot respect itself and need not expect others to do so. Barred out of the manufacturing industries, the wholesale and retail trades, and the banking business, their children denied employment and opportunity for promotion in them, there is nothing left for 10,000,000 people so circumstanced, as Afro-Americans are, to do but to build up manufacturing industries, wholesale and retail trades and banking business of their own. They cannot accept the industrial and business station, place they call it, whit men want them to occupy without sinking finally to the level of the Mexican peon, the Egyptian fellahean and the Chinese coolie. That they are not doing anything of the sort is shown unmistakably by the report of the twelfth annual convention of the National Negro Business league, held in Little Rock, in August of last year. The report shows that the 12 years of constant work by the business league has had a wonderfully stimulating influence upon the business initiative and development of the negro. The foundation is laid and they are building the superstructure slowly but surely. We need men on guard everywhere to set the example of making the most of small things as well as great things, such as they have done at Boley, Okla, Mound Bayou, Miss, and other places, and as they are doing in an isolated way in all parts of the country. Our vast industrial population, wage earners should regard the business ventures of our men as their own ventures, and support them to the utmost of their means and opportunity. They will find it a good investment in the enhanced respect the success of the ventures will. Insure to the race and in the employment of their sons and daughters in profitable work, with a chance to learn how to conduct business undertakings of their own when they walk out of the schools into the world of affairs, where "the victory is not to the swift, nor yet to the strong, but to him that endureth to the end."—New York Age. The school has recently installed a six thousand egg capacity incubator. With the smaller incubators which have been in use for some time, this will give an egg capacity of nearly ten thousand. The institute is trying to make its poultry plant of the largest possible service to the students in poultry raising, as well as to the several thousand farmers of the south who gather at the institute from time to time during the year. There are in the poultry yard at the present time 3,950 fowls, of which 1,460 are chicks hatched within the past few weeks.—Southern Letter. Mrs. Rosa, Simpson, one of the deaconeses from Galveston, Texas, says that Champion Jack Johnson paid her expenses to the Methodist conference.

She says that Jack did this because of his good heart.—Minneapolis Star.

Make them pay for the advertising they are seeking. They have to pay newspapers published by others than Afro-Americans. Why not pay ours? They are better able to pay than we are to GIVE! "JIMCROW" Y. M. C. A. AND SEP ARATE SCHOOLS. / Ever since Chicago Afro-Americans accepted, some months ago. Mr. Julian Rosenthal's $25,000 for a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A., after raising $75,000 as he requires, the wealthy residents (white) of Hyde Park, a suburb of that city, have insisted that our people of Chicago be forced into separate or "jimcrow" public (?) schools. So strong and pernicious has this insistence that only recently, our people of the "Windy City" were compelled to appeal to Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Gov. Deneen of Illinois, in an effort to stop it. The Hyde Park people organized that they have named the Hyde Park Improvement Protective Club which they have and are using to make the "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. Negroes and all others of Chicago, all the trouble they can in their effort to help give them more "jimcrow" in the shape of separate schools. Cleveland and other northern Afro-Americans should take heed and benefit from Chicago Afro-Americans' heart-rending experience as a result of their acceptance of Mr. Rosenthal's $25,000 offer toward a "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. Mr. Rosenthal, as his name indicates, is a Jew; so is Judge Julian W. Mack whose pernicious "jimcrow" Y. M. C. A. advice, in a speech in Engineers' hall, this city, Monday afternoon, June 17, we criticised so severely in The Gazette of June 22. Et tu Brute! See the communication, signed "Jacob Egberth", to be found elsewhere in this paper. Mr. Mack was appointed a judge from Chicago. Good Lord, deliver us from such friends (?). And Jews, too! LUNA PARK AND "JIMCROW" NEGROS Among those who picknicked at a Luna park, Monday evening, were the city's garbage wagon drivers and their friends, none of whom were all allowed to dance until after 10 p. m. What do you think of that? Every other nationality or class—representative, decent, indecent and otherwise citizen and foreigner, "under the blue canopy of heaven," in that park, that evening, was allowed to dance until 10 p. m., but American CITIZENS of color! And they stood about, looking wistfully, and waiting more or less patiently for an insulting segregation, etc., that make's one blood bolt at the mere thought of it. GOOD LORD! will some of our poor people ever learn? In the face of such as this, there are some of our people who are so lost to self and race-respect as to go to the Luna park management to rent the place for "emancipation celebrations" and other affairs, instead of going into the courts to put a stop to the damnable discrimination there that any other people but ours would fight to the death, and die before they would carry their hard-earned money to them and lay it in their laps for such aggravating insults and mistreatment. May God forgive the "jimcrow" Negro! He is more harmful to this race of ours than the Tillmans, Vardamans, Dixons and others of their stripe. Luna park is a public place of amusement, recreation etc. It has no more right under Ohio law to draw color-lines than any other purely public place. And our people can put a stop to it if they want to; they have the law on their side. Why, in God's name, don't they use it and try to do so? What is the matter with this people of ours, anyhow? SHAME! O, SHAME!!! AS TO MURPHY'S "RACE IDEALS." Murphy in his "Race Ideals" tires us some. It is to be deplored that whites who write on the Negro, can- not have contact and association with other than the ante-bellum or common classes. Had they, they might cover the ground unerringly. Possibly heaten Negroes have a black ideal God. Why why Afro-Americans should have a Colored God any more than German-Americans, Irish-Americans, etc., etc., should have a God in some way distinctively racial, we cannot see. The missionaries and evangelists preach one God. And, if the Negro just as readily receives the teaching as other nationalities, why should it be construed to be a repudiation of his race? Just as this new nation—the American—recognizes the superior long-established learning of the old, and does not feel that it has reached its ideal until it has finished up in the old world, just so does the Negro recognize the centuries of advantage the whites have had over him; nor does his ideal fall short of an acquirement of all of them. Forced segregation cannot accomplish its object. The classes are distinct. Do not think because some Negroes who have been forced into a "jim-crow" car or run down Colored neighborhood have nothing to do with fellow passengers or neighbors, are trying to get away from their race and "be white". O, no! They have simply found themselves out of their class, and can no more mix than can water and oil. If they manage to rent or buy a house in a white neighborhood, it is not because they "want to be white". They desire sidewalks, running water, gas, sewerage and all other appurtenances for which intelligence and progression call. They "don't know the white people are living," as far as they are concerned about their white neighbors. And you will find that the Negroes who call to see them are high above the white man's typical Negro, and that they and their host make no overtures whatever towards the white neighbors, and that they are perfectly indifferent to them. A Negro's preference to serve white rather than Colored people is analogous to their ante-bellum preferences to prefer anybody to "poor white" people. The entrance to the upper classes of Negroes is hermetically sealed to white people. They can "but peer longingly through the bars." Analogous to the Haitian Negro with his "ideals within the race" is the Chinese who has adhered to the "ideals within the race," failing to mark out any new footpaths for themselves; which has left this ancient nation, backward, and her country and possessions the prey of more progressive nations. To say Negro patronage is "so abhorrent" to other people is putting it too strongly. As the Negro becomes nearer the idealistic man and naturally seeks the needs of that type, he becomes the more objectionable to the average white man, who has endeavored to crush out of him all aspiration and ideals by segregation and proscription. So, the final slap is to refuse to serve him over a counter or other table as men are served. Query: Are there not any races that are asses masquerading as horses? TEXAS POLITICAL HISTORY. Since the death of N. Wright Cuney, Texas' great Afro-American Republican leader for so many years, and one of the bravest and best the south has ever and anon one "Goose-neck Bill" McDonald, a Cuney lieutenant, if memory serves us correctly, has been more or less conspicuous in the political "limelight" of that state's Republican politics. It remained, however, for the recent Taft-Roosevelt fight in Chicago, while the national Republican executive committee was hearing delegate contest M. cases and otherwise preparing the Taft "steam-roller" to run over and "flatten out" the candidacy of Col. Theo. "Brownville" Roosevelt, to enable "Goose-neck Bill" to come into his "own" state leadership, as near that of the lamented Cuney as it is possible under the circumstances in this day and time with "New Southern Policy" Taft in the "saddle." The Taft bureau at Chicago, week before last, in supporting "Goose-neck Bill" and fighting his opponent, Col. Ceil Lyon, for some years the Republican leader of Texas, issued a statement in which the "fine Italian hand" of McDonald (an Afro-American) is at once seen, outlining the situation as to the Texas delegate contest cases, saying that "Col. Lyon has deliberately and purposely driven the Colored man from politics in Texas. Not being satisfied with Democratic legislation against the Colored man, Lyon has himself taken a hand and endeavored to build up a purely white party. At these primaries just held he issued circular letters advising that 'Negroes be not allowed to vote.'" The seating of "Goose-neck Bill's" Taft delegates and consequent turn-down of Lyon's Roosevelt delegates has elevated politically the former in Texas politics, and dethroned Lyon. It would make McDonald the state leader but for President Taft's infamous "new southern policy" (which we explained at length in our issue of last week—June 29). This reminds us of some older Texas political history, made at St Louis, Mo., during the sitting of the national Republican executive committee just prior to the national convention that nominated Major Wm. McKinley for president, the first time. The writer was in that city with M. A. Hanna, with whom he had "trained" for years here in Cleveland and Ohio politics, and was asked, one afternoon by him, to "find Cuney and THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912. tell him this was his last chance to come in." The great Texas leader, with the Reed-Allison "combine" in that great contest and opposed to McKinley, who was represented in Texas by a Dr. Grant (white) (if memory serves me correctly), a former lieutenant of Cuney's. When we pleaded with the latter "to come in" to save to him the leadership in his state he had held so long and so well—the last of our state Republican leaders—he refused, saying he was obligated to Messrs. Reed and Allison for favors in the past, and that "no one had ever accused N. Wright Cuney of being disloyal to a friend," which was true. How, later, the great political state leader "literally skinned" Dr. Grant, and Gen. Gensvoren of this state, in an impassioned address before the national Republican executive committee that will live forever in the minds and hearts of all who heard it, so tremendously true and impressive was it; and how he left St. Louis at the close of the convention a dethroned leader, broken in health and spirit, for Hot Springs or some other southern place of recuperation, only to linger, pine away and die, in a year or two thereafter is history too painful to more than refer to. N. Wright Cuney belonged to us all—not only to Texas. There fore his loss was felt by all. Hannah Elias Sells Victoria Apartment House. New York City. — The Victoria Apartment House, 138th St. and Lenox Ave. has been sold to our people. The late John R. Platt left $8,000,000 to Mrs. Elias.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Your remarks, last week, objecting to Judge Mack's attempt to introduce segregation into northern cities, are timely and manly. What makes this matter bad enough in its self, from every point of view,—the ethical, christian, the "republican" (or "democratic", which means government by the people)—even worse for Judge Mack and his supporters, is the fact that Mr. Mack is a Jew and a "liberal" one at that! A woman who has drawn the bitter cup of persecution and segregation to the dregs—proposing segregation along the color-line, instead of exerting to his utmost, energy and influence AGAINST such an iniquity. IT IS AMAZING! IT IS SHAMEFUL! Some Jews should protest and loudly at that. Jacob Eberth, (white.) PETER J. HARRIS An Important Announcement — Not Discouraged But Will Try Again and Succeed Next Time. Mr. White will be compelled to cancel his personally conducted excursion to the Pacific Coast and return, owing to the fact that, in making final arrangements, the railroads were unable to supply him with his ding-car. They offered him second-class accommodations but, as he had particularly designated in all of his advertising that he would give only absolutely first-class accommodations throughout the entire trip, he would not consent. Mr. White is not discouraged by this, his first attempt, but will be on hand in 1815 during the Panama Exposition, and will carry his excursion through.

NEGRO YEAR BOOK And Annual Encyclopedia - A Fins Publication. The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand, from all parts of the United States and many portions of the Oil World, for accurate information about the progress and present status of the race. It is based on a large extent on the inquiries that have come to the institute and have been turned over for reply to the Department of Research, of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head, the subjects treated in the work are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911," "The Economic Progress of the Negro." "The Negro in the Religious Field." "Negro Education." "Negro Education, and Heroes." "A Chronological History of the Negro in America." It contains directories of Negro banks, Negro towns, business leagues, hospitals, newspapers, and national and fraternal organizations. There are also carefully classified lists of books and articles relating to the Negro. The Year Book is bound in paper and has 229 pages. The information is arranged in a concise, systematic form so as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture, although it may be so later, provided it finds a sufficient number of readers. In order to determine whether there is sufficient demand for the Year Book to warrant publication, it must be succeeded years, a price of 25c has been placed upon it, postage 5c. A considerable reduction will be made to persons desiring ten copies or more, Address, Negro Year Book Company, Tuskegee University, Alabama. THE DAWN OF A GREAT AWAK- ENING seems to be near in the labor-world, especially among our people. As evidence of it there was a meeting at Ideal hall, last week, Tuesday evening, called by W. W. Cordell of Cincinnati, second vice president of the I. H. and B. L. U. of America, Herbert L. Taylor of this city, presiding. Eloquent speeches were made by several gentlemen familiar with the labor movement, among whom H. Howell who made masterly addresses, appealing to our people to unite and organize, and take their places by the side of the organized laboring men of other classes of Americans. We would that there were more of our ministers who do not think it derogatory to their ministerial interests and standing to come among the working men and temporal as well as spiritual things. As I listen to them I thought of our Divine Lord and Master as he went about doing good, reaching the spiritual condition of mankind and helping as many as would accept His aid in bettering their physical condition. Our prayer is that every minister in Cleveland and elsewhere will imbibe the spirit, in this matter, of these two clergymen. I want to add the name of the most spoken word within his presence, as I have the names of the ministers), viz. the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, who with the power of his masterly logic almost passionately appealed to laboring men to come together, regardless of race, color or creed, in one united organization of their craft. With such men of intellect interested in our behalf, the unity of organizing, the unity of organizing, remembering that God helps those who help themselves. Another thing to remember is that When he would, he shall have nay. If we will do our part we will show that we deserve better conditions than we now have, and others will come to our aid and champion our workmen and staff. Our workmen to come out to these meetings, bring others with you, and preach the gospel of unionism to the "doubting Thomases" of our race and your craft. Learn and tell them of the good that we have and will "come out of Nazreth," W. W. CORDELL. Baltimore, Md.-Those who believe in subordinating the U. S. Constitution with a view to putting into operation laws tending to disfranchise the Afro-American, were given quite a set-back setting when Judge John C. Rose, of the U. S. District Court, fined Democratic officials for seeking to deprive our voters of the right to vote, that so long as the Fifteenth Amendment is a part of the Constitution it is the supreme law, and therefore must be obeyed, and that a doctrine which sanctions the disobedience of the Constitution is a very dangerous one. In rendering the decision Judge Rose imposed fines of $50 each on two election officials of Charles county and $25 on John M. Charles, of the City of Baltimore in the Congressional election of 1910, for alleged conspiracy to keep me from voting on account of race and color.

SHE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912. THE CORY LECTURE. The lecture given recently in the lecture room of Cory M. E. church, under the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary to the Human Society and Juvenile Court, was very successful. Probation officer of Pittsburg; Mrs. Shippen of the Home for Delinquent Boys of Virginia; Miss Latimer and Dr. Hart of the Russell Home of New York; Prof. North of Du Bois University and Mrs. Harper, presided over the court to the Human Society and Juvenile Court. Dr. Hart, the first speaker, said that no interest in the community is so sacred—so valuable as that of the child. The community must sacrifice and struggle as does the parent to meet the needs of the child. He commended the placing of delinquent children in homes and not in institutions. Miss Latimer said that malnutrition, physical infirmity and child labor are the greatest causes of most juvenile delinquency. Mrs. Hamilton explained her work as probation officer. She has been a salaried officer of the Pittsburgh juvenile Court for four years. She spoke encouragingly and urged the work of the Cleveland organization. "We are judged by the submerged tent," she said. "This is the century of child. The most vital movement of life is the studying for the betterment of the child. The whole attention of modern life is centered around the future and future is centered around the child. Work done for the child is the nation'sation." was the natural thought of Prof. North's remarks. Ms. Shippen and others spoke along the same lines. A silver offering was taken to aid the work of the Auxiliary and ice cream and cake was sold, netting about ten dollars. Rev. Bundy received the first prize and Rev. Sissle, the second. The prizes were awarded the pastors of the church having the largest membership in the organization. The first prize gift of the May Co.; and the second, a pair of gold cuff links, donated by Sigler Bros.; through the solicitation of C. L. Lacy.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the lates scientific and sanitary methods, effectively promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary condition of hair gives the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

THE BOYS MAGAZINE MAY LICENSED BY WALTER CAMP A FEW REASONS WHY THE NE- GRO MINISTERS SHOULD SUP- PORT RACE ENTERPRISES AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. This subject is one that opens a field for discussion, for it is said that the true minister is the recognized leader of the people; and it is necessary and timely that this subject be presented today. More business enterprises are being established and fostered than ever before in the annals of civilization. Banks are being founded, drug stores established, dental parlors being opened, lawyers pleading at the bar, merchants behind counters with bookkeepers and cashiers looking after their interest. Hence, it is well that the minister who has the ear of his people on Sunday and in his parish during the week to direct his people to the many enterprises that are being established by his own people. We are a people controlling a great interest in the onward sweep of American business life, and more avenues are being opened to the young men and women of our race and more opportunities are being presented to support and encourage negro enterprises than ever before. No race has made the marked advancement in a half century starting from nothing and faced by so many difficulties and overcome them all—save the negro. Bondage and slavery depressed and held him fast with rude and cruch morals and intellect, but through the stroke of the mighty pen of Abraham Lincoln we find him today in the business and financial world taking his honor among the monarchs of civilization. We point with a finger of pride to the magnificent buildings towering over the wrecks of time, mercantile and wholesale establishments under direct control and ownership of negroes. We rejoice at the great institutions of learning, seats of great moral and intellectual structures, institutions where Webster, Lincoln, Plaro, Socrates, and a host of others of prominence would be proud to pluck of its luscious fruit and drink from its ever existing fountains. Retrospecting the past, seeing the present as it is, and looking into the future, I will state a few reasons why the negro minister should support and encourage race enterprises. First of all I think candidly that the negro minister should have more encouragement and better support from the business men than they are getting today. I think also that the business man should be interested in them and the work they are doing and should support them in proportion to their financial gain. I do not think the minister should be denominational in the good they do for humanity or of building up a community life or fostering some business enterprise. After respect has been shown them as a leader and a minister, I think they should sound aloud in no degree of uncertainty the importance of race business enterprise and it is a moral right for them to support the business man by precept and example. It is a true type of manhood that the minister must teach his people to unite their forces and teach them also the more enterprises the more openings for young men and women and the success of any people or business in encouragement and mark a more stonewalling a new and more creditable business among us. The true minister is God's chosen vessel, his pulpit is his throne, he swaits a scepter, and he can sway it for weal or woe. He should teach and lead them, ought by pointing out the many business enterprises and encourage them to patronize the negro man in business and support them by words and deeds. The great foundation of race building should be laid deep, broad, and long; he should teach that it is their duty that they owe themselves, their fellow-man and to God to patronize every avenue of honest, respectable business fastened by us as a race. Again the ministers ought to identify himself with everything that is honest and honorable, because he is shepherd of his flock and the destiny of our race iles before him, and the eyes of the people are upon him watching his lead. Race pride must be taught from the pulpit. He must teach that the more business among us the more wealth, and the more wealth the more prominent are we placed before the eyes of the world of progress, he should make it known that if we or any race rise to any point of pre-eminence of recognition it must be done by unity of that race. These enterprises are signs of progress and should be supported and encouraged because to the rising generation they will act as a stimulant and inspiration and also give employment to hundreds of our race that would have died in despair. If we are ever to be a people and take our place among the nations of the world we must be master builders. He should teach that these enterprises depend upon the amount of patronage given by us as a race, teach also that these businesses are being operated upon business plans and for business purposes and it is through these channels that we are to bring about new Life in the race and predict to the world the proper setting of a race that through slavery trials and difficulties we conquered the enemies and despite of combined forces if the minister will teach these things we GOLD FROM THE GUTTER. Gold has been discovered in the gravel on Broadway, Los Angeles. An assistant in a cigar store made the discovery, and he promptly took some of the gravel to an assayer, who declared that the quantity of gold in the gravel made the deposit rich. The rush for gold at once began, and soon the strange spectacle attracted a large crowd. Wherever a small handful of gravel could be gathered there sat a carrot of "miners" washing out and can see the possibilities of us as a race. We should be able to present this fact, that if the race sticks together in business life the day is nearer than we think when Ethiopia shall sterner forth her hand to God and our race become the chief corner stone that the builders rejected. HELPING DELTA FARMERS Besides co-operating with the state and local authorities in the matter of furnishing immediate relief to the flood sufferers in the D ta of the Mississippi and other affected regions, Thomas M. Campbell, negro demonstration agent with headquarters at Tuskegee institute, announces that the department of agriculture at Washington is arranging to secure as many potato slips as possible for distribution, one hundred to a farmer, in order that the people of the affected districts might have opportunity to raise something in the place of their destroyed and delayed crops. Mr. Campbell has just returned from a trip through Mississippi and Louisiana inspecting the demonstration work in that region and co-operating with the local agents. He reports that the negro refugees, as well as those of the white race, were, so far as he could determine, being taken care of by the authorities. The heroism shown by black and white and the wide range of human sympathy, despite the difference of race, was declared by him to be significant of the co-operation between the races. He details many scenes of pathos and humor that came within his notice, but declared that the outstanding feature was the hope and optimism displayed by the rich and poor, the planner and the laborer. Tuskegee institute will give a large number of potato slips to the government for this purpose. As soon as the plants become government property they will be franked through the mails. Mr. Campbell's trip of inspection covered the region in Louisiana and Mississippi around Vicksburg, and from Yazoo City to Clarksville and the region approaching Greenville. M. A. Jones, a demonstration agent, working under his direction, with headquarters at Indianola, has sent out a circular to the colored people advising them to fumigate their homes as soon as the water recedes, and how to plant cotton in high places as fast as the water leaves. CAVALS IN ENGLAND THEY HAD THEIR ORIGIN IN A MATRIMONIAL BISAPPOINTMENT. The British system of artificial inland navigation, which includes several thousand miles of canal, may be said to have had its origin in a matrimal disappointment. The duke of Bridgewater, the originator of the system, was engaged to be married just after he had attained his majority. A dispute arising between the couple, the match was broken off. The duke's chagrin changed the course of his life. He gave his first and last ball to the London world of fashion and then buried himself among his coal fields at Worsley. Eschewing the society of women, he refused even to employ them as servants in his manor house. Disappointed in marrying the most beautiful woman in England, he determined to unite by means of a canal his coal fields with Manchester, then beginning its career as a manufacturing town. In those days good roads were the exceptions, bad roads the rule. The cottons of Manchester and the woolens of Leeds were conveyed from place to place on pack horses, which jogged in single file. The freight charge from Leeds to London was $63 a ton. When the duke's canal was finished the prices of coal and other commodities in Manchester felt one-half The success of this canal started the duke to build one which would connect Manchester with Liverpool. To procure the funds he reduced his personal expenses to £400 a year. So straitened was he at times that the London bankers hesitated to discount his note for £500. Sometimes when "hard up" he would send his steward upon a collecting tour among the tenant of the ducal estates. The steward would ride from tenant to tenant, getting £5 here and £10 there. When he had collected money enough he would return and pay the canal laborers their weekly wages. In a few years, however, the duke's canals paid him an annual revenue of £80-000.—New York Press. STILL HAD A PROFIT. The new drug clerk had just filled a prescription for a woman customer for which he charged her $1.10. After her departure the clerk discovered that the dollar was a counterfeit. He went hurriedly to the proprietor "Yes, sir," answered the clerk, "that seems to be all right." "Well," said the proprietor, "don't worry about it—we still make a nickel."—Harner's Magazine.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912. THE COLORED WATER HIS FORMER GLORY, HIS SUBSTITUTION BY "WHITE HELP," THE COMPARATIVE MERITS AS EXPRESSED BY THE NEW YORK SUN. Many of the New York daily papers seem to favor the employment of negroes in preference to foreign help in the local hotels and restaurants. Under the caption, "A Touch of Color," the Sun says; "In not too distant days which youngsters glibly dub simpler than the time we live in, there were hotels that were proud of their squads of black servants and black servants who were proud of their service. Before the American plan inn had become a memory in Fifth avenue and Broadway the opening of the dining room was a sight worth watching. The head waiter, large and impressive, gloriously self-conscious of his importance and dignity, marched his subordinates with all the care of a military commander, marched them is well drilled ranks the length of the great room and told them off to their stations like a general assigning the captains of his army. Perhaps there is an uncontaminated spot where that review and drill is still treasured; where the guest's hat is cared for by a specialist who secrets the use of checks, who never errs in restoring a man's head covering to him, and who himself pockets the fees his guardianship earns. "The black man as a waiter has almost disappeared from those places that exploit their fashionability. Atlantic City was long a stronghold of those dark and satisfactory boys who understood what was said to them in United States, and could make intelligible answer to the unlearned. But the phrase white help exclusively is found more and more frequently in the announcements from that city of hotels. The dining rooms are cleared of the darkies first; the bell boys change color next; in a short time no gleam of white in a smiling face of ebony cheers the visitor. P-orphs prejudice is responsible for the bleaching of the servitors. No improvement in manners or attention accompanies it. The white waiters and boys are not more respectful or willing than their predecessors. Their unfamiliarity with the only language spoken by an overwhelming majority of their patrons makes for misunderstandings. Their impassivity is largely a myth, and even when it is displayed in perfection it is not more conducive to good digestion than the easy grim and wholesome chuckle of the negro. "One drawback there is in this town to the employment of negroes in eating places. New York is cursed with a population of 'professional southerners,' most of whom never saw the south, who obtrude themselves whenever they find opportunity. These exhibit their familiarity with polite usages by blackguarding black men with a pair of I know how to treat 'em; we had 500 on our plantation, suh, befo' the wah. The blackguarding is done when it is obviously safe to indulge in. We have seen southern gentlemen who ached to malm these impostors, curious excrescences on urban life. "Perhaps the astonishing strike that now perturbs the tavern keepers may bring back the negroes to favor. If it does the public will lose nothing by the reappearance of a tribe that fashion has exiled but that deserved better treatment from a public long tended skillfully and satisfactorily." DAIRY ITEMS Dehorn calves to be kept on the farm by applying caustic potash in the stick form to the horn button. Do the work before the calf is a week old. A distended udder is natural for the cow at calving time. When the cow freshens do not attempt to relieve the udder of all the milk at once. Milk her partially dry three or four times each day for the first day or two. Allow the calf to be fed by hand to take its first meals fresh and warm from the udder. It needs this milk in the natural and warm form at first to start healthy digestive and bowel operations. It can be taught to drink just as wall after running with its mother a couple of days. Breed common cows to some good pure bred, registered dairy bull of known merit. This will give heifer calves one-half pure blood. Then breed these grade heifers to a bull of the same breed. This will give calves three-quarters full blood. Continue breeding in the same line without change. In time you will have a herd of grade animals that will be as good producers as pure bred registered animals. Milking is more convenient when all of the cows are stained. By using plenty of bedding, milking in stalls in summer is as pleasant as milking in the open lot. The manure made will be worth much. Screening doors and windows of the dairy stable will make conditions more pleasant for the cows and for the milkers. Spraying the cows with fly repellant will prevent decrease of milk during fly time. If you must buy cows, put all of your purchase money together and purchase one extra good animal rater than two or three common ones. Money invested in a good dairy cow will return good interest, while with poor or common cows there is often doubtful profit. It is a good plan to feed the producing cows some dry feed even in summer with the best of pasture. The ordinary pasture does not furnish enough of the needed elements for the largest milk flow. JUST RAISE THE VOICE. A young married couple went into a drug store the other day to use the telephone, when the young woman found that she was several inches too short to reach the mouthpiece. "Oh, dear," she complained. "I wish this telephone were a little lower." Whereupon her husband remarked: "Try raising your voice." To expect a friend to be doing good turns invariably is to take him for a vaudierie comedian. EXERCISES AT BIDDLE THIRTY-FIVE GRADUATES AWARDED DIPLOMAS—NEW CARNEGIE LIBRARY DEDICATED—REV. C. A. WARD ELECTED PRESIDENT OF INSTITUTION. Charlotte, N. C.—The commencement exercises of Biddle university came to ah end with the awarding of diplomas to thirty-five graduates of the normal, preparatory and theological departments. There were no graduates from the college of arts and sciences, a year having been added to the course. The honorary degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Rev. Dr. W.

W. E. Carr of Danville, Va., and the Rev. B. F. Murray of Cleveland, N. C. Following the conferring of the diplomas, the new $24,000 Carnegie Library building was dedicated. President H. L. McCorrey announced that he had succeeded in raising $6,000, and that the same would be used in installing an electric light and power plant during the summer. Music was furnished by the Biddle University quinter under the direction of Thomas A. Long, Ph. D. On the morning of the commencement day addresses were delivered by A. P. Corley, C. B. Dusenbury, R. O. Langford, H. W. McNair and D. E. Thompson, who were among the graduates from the theological department. Engene W. Dennis won the gold medal in the junior prize orator contest. I. D. Davis won the five-dollar gold piece prize in the senior normal and preparatory contest. At the annual meeting of the alumni the Rev. A. C. Ward was elected president, the Rev. P. G. Drayron secretary, and Prof. J. D. Martin treasurer. The Rev. J. A. Tillman of Lancaster, S. C., delivered the annual alumni address. The visitors and alumni attended the commencement of Scotia seminary, at Concord, last Wednesday. Biddle university is maintained by the Presbyterian church. It has 100 acres of land, 14 buildings valued at $200,000. There are 13 professors, besides instructors in the academic and industrial departments. FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE, ALABAMA, AUGUST, 1912. The indications are that all roads will lead to Tuskegee Institute in August this year. From several sections of the country advice comes to us to the effect that arrangements are being made for special parties. Clubs are forming, for the purpose of taking the best advantage of rates and convenience of travel. It is generally conceded that the coming meeting will be the best attended the association has ever witnessed. Arrangements are being perfected to comfortably and pleasantly care for all who come. Physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and members of their families and friends are earnestly requested to attend. Features of interest to heads of schools, ministers, teachers and other representative leaders will be presented. They are cordially invited to come. Tuskegee institute is fast becoming a "convention city." We are accustomed to handling big crowds. From all parts of the world visitors come to Tuskegee to see what we are doing, and to study our educational methods. The international conference just closed brought representatives from some twenty different nations or their colonies. Do you believe we can interest you? Come and see. The campus with its beautiful flowers, shrubbery and shade trees, buildings, cherts roads and extensive fields of growing crops furnish a veritable panorama of beauty. Of special interest to members of the profession will be the scientific program, which will contain papers and addresses by some of the leading lights in medicine. The United States public health and marine hospital service will be represented. Dr. W. A. Warfield, the skillful surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's hospital, Washington, D. C., will deliver the oration on surgery. The pellagra commission is expected to present some startling original ideas with reference to the successful treatment of this baffling disease. The clinic committees are striving to present the most interesting series of clinics we have witnessed. J. A. KENNEY, Chairman Local Committee. RUN IN THE FAMILY. Seated on the front porch of a Woodland avenue home Thursday morning two little five-year-olds, dressed for Memorial day, admired each other's clothes. "My sister has three hats," said one. "My mamma has two diamond rings," the other observed. "My mamma has nearly seven pairs of gloves," the first girl ventured again. "I guess gloves must run in our family." The other little girl didn't speak for a moment, then she exclaimed, with a giggle: "That's funny, 'cause it's shoes that run in our family."—Youngstown (O.) Telegram. The Kind. "I understand there is a place in town where a number of kidnappers were rounded up." "At police headquarters?" "No; you see, the kidnappers in question were bargain cradles." "Your wife has eloped with your chauffeur." "Did they take my car?" "Yes." "Confound the luck! I had just bought some new tires." Of Interest to Our Women OUR IDEALS AND HOW TO KEEP THEM There is always a curious attraction about certain people whom we don't know. They have something aloof, detached, even distinguished in our eyes. We picture them the wittiest, most intelligent, most sympathetic of mortals. Possible they have all the charms and all the virtues. How can we know? We simply don't know them. flat around the satin end, about an inch and a half from the bottom, and the buttons are sewed in a row on the lace. Another black satin tie has a square bow laid in flat plats and one long end of the double satin and a little ecru Valenciennes frilled on each side for about four inches of its length up from the lower end. The effect is very quaint. One sometimes meets these fascinating strangers for years, brushing elbows with them on crowded staircases, seated next to them at the theater, admiring the same pictures at the galleries, yet we do not know them, and if we are wise we should cherish our illusions and never seek to break the barrier which keeps us apart. One wise young man stendfastly refuses to be introduced to a famous beauty lest he should lose all his illusions. He puts her on a pedestal (it might be mentioned that he admires her extravagantly), and absolutely refuses to let her descend from it. All his life he will admire her charming appearance—but meantime the lady goes by the board. It is a situation like that in Browning's "Statue and the Bust." But really the wise young man is right. If we truly admire and idealize those unknown people let us not break the precious silence or seek to cast down the barrier which makes them, the incarnation of the desirable and the unattainable. ALL MADE TO MATCH. In the great London and Parisian dressmaking establishments all the accessories of the toilet are supplied by the firm, so that the outfit may harmonize in every particular. The range is very large, and each item must pass the scrutiny and receive the approbation of the head of the firm before it is sent out to a customer. Gloves, shoes, handkerchiefs and holsery are supplied for each customer, and for the evening dress there is the appropriate scarf and coiffure ornament. Each ornament for the dress, such as the clasp or buckle, and each one for the hair is individualistic. It cannot be found elsewhere, because it is the design of one of the artists specially engaged by the firm for the purpose of thinking out and making such decorative details. In one case shoulder plaques of blue tourquise, paluted by hand, with thy pink roses, and surrounded with pearls and diamonds, are the finishing touch of an evening custume. And in another small diamond clasps for the scarf and smaller ones for the shoes are the work of a young man who spends his time searching through the archives of the past and evolving for present day use personal ornaments of all kinds. LATE FASHION NOTES. Lace will be prominent as a trimming for parasols this summer. All the latest designs of needlework are of an open character. Floral effects are not massed closely together. Jeweled hatpins are now being used. They are much smaller in size than formerly, and some are of the double type—two being connected by a short chain, and they are both worn at one side of the hat. The majority of the dressy waists are made with three-quarter sleeves, although some full length styles are noted. The latter are generally finished with a soft plaiting to fall over the hand. These models are made with some fulness at the elbow, tapering off to a snug finish at the waist. Lace top fringes are both new and attractive. Draped satin girdles are eked out with strips of lace. Low, round, square and V-shaped necks, will be, the mode. necks will be the mode. Such laces as Irish and filet are scalloped. Shades of tan and champagne are again in great favor. In the latest spring models the waist line is quite defined. Sash ends may be knotted or simply let fall, a la militaire. The Colonial shoe, with its silver buckles, is again worn. Foulard and sole souple gowns show a lot of lingerie and lace. Set in sleeves of a modified kimono order are frequently seen. A lace band is used in the hair in place of the more common ribbon one. The short white kid gloves will be worn again with tailor-made and long sleeved frocks for afternoon wear. UNUSUAL TIES FOR THE SHIRTWAIST A most unusual and good looking cravat for wear with wash silk shirt-waists made in mannish styles is of blaek satin. There is a flat bow of the satin and one long end of the satin made double and widening out toward the bottom. This end is about eight inches long and is one and a half inches wide at the top and two and three-quarter inches wide at the bottom. Six round silver or gold buttons are placed at half-inch intervals at the lower end. On some of these ties a piece of rather heavy cream fillet lace is folded Stripes are still in. Black is laid under laces to bring out their pattern. Favor has been extended to the Russian blonce and long smock. Roses are much used on hats—tiny buds and full-blown flowers. Purple, plum and a certain shade of blue make a charming color scheme. Small covered buttons of plain red and a bait of red leather give a de- flat around the satin end, about an inch and a half from the bottom, and the buttons are sewed in a row on the lace. Another black satin tie has a square bow laid in flat plats and one long end of the double satin and a little cura Valenciennes frilled on each side, covering four inches of its length up from the lower end. The effect is very quiet. FASHION HINTS Ruches' worn at the neck are gaining popularity every day. They are worn to match every gown. Paul Pollet is showing some stunning hats, perfectly flat in shape, with flat, round crowns. New coat sleeves have fullness at the elbow and tightly fitted cuffs, cut in one with the vest. An exquisite combination is a gown of cream volle with a deep hem, girdle and cuffs of cerise satin. Brown and green are most harmoniously blended in a frock of green-shaded taffeta and brown chiffon. In no case must a costume be overtrimmed. We look now for the lines and fit, rather than the decoration. Shadow lace, either in white, cream or dyed to match the gown, is much used on the soft, shimmery taffetas. E Bright-colored coattees in satin and taffeta will be worn over white lingerie frocks for outdoor entertainments. Cape collars of embroidered linen and lace, effectively combined are worn with many of the afternoon gowns. Paradise and fancy feathers, phaeants' tails, ostrich bands and French pumps are all seen on the new hats. Medium-sized tailored hats are much in demand; they are trimmed with fancy feathers and wings. Bands of embroidered straw and macrae lace figure on some of the models. The touch of black in tulle, chiffon, net or lace or narrow velvet ribbon or buttons is employed to give striking individuality. All-white handbags and parsoles and beads, buckles and rings are entirely new. There is a great vogue for this snowy effect. The cutaway jacket is one of the features of the spring styles. In the last models it is shown with a scalloped edge bound in braid. BAGS AND PURSES. Pocketbooks for women seem to have gone entirely out of fashion. They are sometimes replaced by thy coin purses, but the bag is the real successor. The striking feature of the new bags is their length. It is no longer difficult to imagine a bag a foot in length and not more than six inches wide, hanging from heavy silken cords nearly a foot and a half long. This is the latest model of bag; it is the last word among bags, but there are many other shapes almost as desirable and less pronounced. The round bags are extremely modish. Something altogether new is the flat bag, rather longer than wide, having square corners. The noticeable feature is the large flap which buttons down one side. One of the latest bags has seven compartments, and the systematic woman will find this quite to her taste. The card case is no longer carried in the hand when a woman starts out on her calling tour. It is carried in a removable bag with the long silken cord. SHOES TOO LOOSE Two-thirds of modern foot troubles are due to the fact that almost every one—man, woman and child—wears his shoe too loose, remarks a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. The shoe itself may be correct as to size and shape, but it is not fastened tight at the only point of control, namely, the instep. When you set your foot upon the floor or pavement in the act of walking, the shoe adheres, and if it be loosely fastened over the instep the foot pushes down into the toe of the shoe. At certain spots on the foot this slipping causes friction. These spots are the soles of the feet; the tops, ends and inner sides of the toes; the great and little toe joints, and occasionally even the back of the heel. When the friction thus caused is continued hour after hour and day after day, one or more of these spots is almost sure to become inflamed and sore. A slight thickening, called a "callus," is formed. As the friction and pressure go on the resulting callus may thicken up unevenly; then it is called a "carn." RENOVATING BATHROOM Of the bathroom or bathrooms in her abode the modern house mistress makes quite a fad, choosing for them all the improvements and luxuries she can find. She is troubled by the smallness of the area at her command in some cases, and would gladly know how to achieve a sense of spaciousness, if that were possible. A small bathroom will display every inch to advantage by being treated in this way. Paint the baseboard and side walls a light gray up to the height of four feet, and finish by a wooden molding painted in the same color. lightful touch of color to a white costume. Colored crystal buttons to match the gown are used upon a great many models. Plain linen frocks trimmed with bands of striped linen are smart for children. Heavy tyne-covered lace is used to trim many of the smartest frocks and hats. Many of the smartest afternoon frocks have girdles and sashes of velvet and satin. LADY'S EMPIRE DRESS. 5837 Here is one of the most stylish models of the season. The dress has the fashionable front closing and the design is quite easy to carry out. The waist is made with removable chemise and the skirt is cut in five gores. The collar and revers add charm to the garment and the pointed turn-up cuffs are a pretty feature.

A traveling salesman in the employ of a large bicycle manufacturer was obliged to go on a business trip about the time an interesting domestic event was expected. The salesman desired his sister to wire him results, according to a formula something like this: If a boy, "Man's safety arrived;" if a girl, "Lady's safety arrived." To the astonishment and chargin of the father-elect, he had been gone but a few days when he received a telegram containing one word. "Tandem."—Fit-Bits. The Humorist.
