THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 3. THE HAT ALMOST over-night, some fashions and fads become a furore, and it seems as if every woman, from Maine to California, wants one particular kind of hat, or shoe, or feather at the same moment. If the object of this sudden fancy is within easy reach (that is, if its price is low) its popularity is brief, because any idea becomes tiresome from too much repetition. But if the thing, which finds its ill suddenly in brisk demand, can only be secured in limited quantities, its price is likely to soar for many week; or even months. This is the case with the beautiful paradise feather which women have long admired. A spray of a few precious feathers, mounted in a pompon of ostrich or marabout, used to be considered an achievement very well worth while. Extravagantly inclined rich people might indulge in a whole paradise bird occasionally. Then came the day when the whole hat crown was encircled with a wreath of IN POLUNAISE STYLE White permo fabric—a silky mohair and wool weave—is used here in pollenise style over a skirt of cerise crepe meteor, and the vivid cerise material appears again in the collar section. The pollenise is gracefully draped and fastens at the side with a white silk button and loop matching the fastening of the front of the bodice. Neck frill and sleeve ruffles are of sheer white plaited net. White buckskin colonial pumps accompany this summer costume. The soft belt is Girls Men Hate. Men may laugh and joke with the girl who tries to be "manly," but they never want to marry her. Men heartily dislike girls who nag and scold; they want to run a mile from them. Men may be sorry for painfully shy girls, but these do not appeal to them. They make them feel awkward and bashful themselves. Men avoid girls who are always saying spiteful things about other girls. Men hate untidy, slovenly girls, with badly brushed hair and a crooked waist line. Men fight shy of dull, discontented girls; the bright, sunny ones get all their attention. Aigrettes on Hate The aligrettes slant backward from the hat at amazing angles—the queerer the angle the more chic the chapeau. The Pocahontas is a favorite style. This is a rather small toque with a brim rising straight up/ all around and the whole hat slanting slightly toward the back. Against the high brim are arranged long quilts, growing shorter as they reach back, so that the hat has much the appearance of an Indian chief's headdress for the warpst. THE GAZETTE paradise sprigs, and now has dawned the morning when hat crowns are partially lost sight of, enveloped in an airy cloud of floating, graceful, incomparably fine plumage. Miss Gaby Desalys showed how many feathers could be worn on one headress. But one should not forget that the stage requires exaggeration in styles and its standards are to be followed at some distance, as a rule. The price of paradise plumage is soaring. "She who owns it should use it while the furore is on. It is very likely to be even in greater demand this fall, and is one of the safe investments in millinery, for it will never be wholly out of style. Many women accumulate a paradise spray by bipying a few feathers each season, finally making up a large cluster. It is best to buy the natural color where this course is pursued. They are very beautiful and they can be successfully cleaned. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. That Is, In the Latest Designs In Agrees With the Millinery Accompanying It. If the very decorative possibilities of the parasol have been overlooked of late, the warm weather has made the fact clear that a parasol adds the last note of distinction to a dress. Every one interested in dress comments upon the varied designs of this summer's parasols and upon the amusing way in which each one agrees with the shape of the hat that is worn. When feathers tower above the crown of the chapeau the parasol carried has an obliging cupola crown, and if the millinery is of a spreading character then when the parasol is opened it is seen that it is Japanese-like in its flat aspect. Lace posed upon chiffon or veiled with tulle is a combination of materials of acknowledged elegance for the sunshade, and it not infrequently happens that a trail of mousseline flowers is posed inside the parasol, perchance to coincide with the trimming of the hat or with the flowers that decorate the gown. Of freak handles there are always a certain number, and one of the quaintest is the cuckoo clock. Press a spring and the doors of the cuckoo clock fly open and the cuckoo appears on the threshold. He is a silent bird, for his trick begins and ends with the little performance already described. Sewing On Braid. Braid should be sewed on by taking a long stitch on the back and a very tiny stitch on the right side directly through the braid and down again. Be careful to hold the material smoothly over the finger. Keep the braid straight and firm and turn all corners sharply. You will find when using scoutache that you can work more rapidly and keep the braid straight more easily if you use an embroidery frame. Placing Holes for Buttons. When buttoning or unbuttoning a garment, the forcing buttons across the width of the hole will soon tear out the latter. For this reason buttons with only two holes are better than those with four and should be placed so that their holes will be on a line with the length of the button-hole. Some women place buttons with four holes so that only two holes need be sewed through, thus making them last longer than if all four were used. Clever Idea. Putting hooks on the lower side of a vent or dress opening and eyes on the upper or usual side is a clever idea, as when the dress is ironed on "hook marks" as, often happens when hooks and eyes are put on in the old-fashioned way. Try the "new fashioned" way—it works splendidly. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. SPURN FARM LIFE Women, as a Rule, Refuse Riches to Live in City. Kansas City Priest Finds That Wealthy Farmers Are Not Desired by the Fair Sex as Bride-grooms. Kansas City. — Money, comfort, fresh air, good things to eat—such things are not sufficient to tempt marriageable American women away from the cities. Most of them prefer to marry city men, even if they are poorer providers. That conclusion has been reached by Rev. Father William J. Dalton, pastor of the Annunciation Catholic church here, after reading the letters of 6,452 persons who desire to marry, and have written him for him help. Father Dalton attracted attention a few months ago through a "school of matrimony" he established in connection with his church to encourage marriage among the young people of his parish. "The only women who express a willingness to marry farmers are elderly women who find themselves alone in the world," Father Dalton said. "But the farmers who ask for wives are younger men and they do not want to marry women.

Men in Aeroplanes Helpless When Attacked—Unique Methods of Teaching Warfare Now Being Demonstrated in France. Paris, France.—A new and more terrifying phase of aerial warfare is promised. French officers are training eagles to attack aeroplanes in the air and bring them crashing to the ground. Expertis have concluded that it will be extremely difficult to hit a flying aeroplane, although several special weapons have been devised for this purpose. Under present conditions apparently an army must either fight aeroplanes with aeroplanes or permit them to fly away untouched after doing all the harm they can and after spying out the army's dispositions. Even with the pursuing aeroplanes disaster is more probable than success to the pursuer. But it has been found that a slight injury to the driver of an aeroplane will destroy his control and send him toppling to his death. The late Calbraith Rogers, a brilliant aviator, is said to have met his death because a seagull accidentally flew against him and disturbed his control of his machine. If such a modest sized bird as a seagull could cwreck an aviator, what could an eagle do? We all know STRANGLED BY WATER SNAKE Boy in Swimming Killed by Reptile That Had Colled Around His Neck. Rockport, Ky.-Death by strangling and at the "hands" of a large water snake was the fate met by Jimmie Jones, nine years old, in Green river at this point. The boy had started to swim and when about half way sank. When he arose he was pulling at his neck and before his companions could reach him sank again. When the body was recovered a large water snake was found tightly colled around his neck. When he dived he struck the reptile, which in instantly coiled itself around his neck. The snake, which was five feet long, was killed by the youth's companions DOG SAVED WOMAN'S LIFE Mrs. Van Daggett of San Francisco Rescued From Fire by Her Pet. San Francisco, Cal.-Omega, a colli- s, saved the life of his mistress re- cently by dragging her unconscious body from a burning bungalow. Mrs. Van Daggett, owner of the dog, was in her room when the collie came dashing in and began tugging at her dress. She followed and on reaching the lower hall found the house in frames. She ran up to her room again to save some jewelry and was over- come. When his mistress did not reappear Omega dashed into the house and dragged the unconscious woman to the raid.

The cost will be at least $600,000, and the public has been asked for subscriptions. FINDS OLD ROBBERS' ROOST farmer showed me that he had $75, 000 in the bank. "Can you tell me why it is that a woman will not give a proposition like something of the power of these tremendous birds. In the Alps they frequently carry off young sheep and beat off men who attempt to interfere with them. A few laws ago an eagle near Washington, Conn., attempted to carry off a baby, the child of a farmer named Matthew J. Crowley. It required the combined efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Crowley and several other persons to save the baby. The Swiss eagle is more powerful than any American bird.. The French aviation officers stationed at Nice, which is within a few miles of the Alpine home of eagles, have trained six great eagles. The officers have constructed machines resembling aeroplanes in shape, but supported by balloons. To these they attach chickens, mice and all sorts of live prey that the eagles love. The aeroplane balloons are then sent up and the eables are let loose. With fierce cries and flapping of their wings they attack an aeroplane and tear the living prey from it. In their eagerness they fight one another, and the aeroplane is sometimes turned upside down in their struggles. It is inconceivable that any men in an aeroplane, even if there were three or four of them, could retain control of their machine in the face of such an attack. One after another the eagles attack all the aeroplane balloons until they are wrecked. Their trainers feel certain that they will now attack real aeroplanes with men in them with the same ferocity. No one who has watched an eagle Hope Now Is to Get Treasure if the Successful Band Ever Concealed Any. Medford, Ore.—A romance of hidden treasure was recalled last week when J. M. Howard stumbled on a rotting cabin on the banks of a mountain stream in Jackson county. The cabin is said to have been the home of a gang of men who buried a vast treasure, looted from the Adams Express Company bank in San Francisco when it failed in the early '50's. Mr. Howard, a pioneer prospector, was told of the cabin six years ago by a man giving the name of Charles H. Owens of Michigan, who searched the hills for several years and then went to Portland. For six years Howard has looked for the cabin. Although heg has found the cabin Howard has not uncovered the treasure, nor does he expect to until he locates Owens, who alone hold the key to the mystery. Owens described the old hut in detail just as Howard found it, and stated that once the cabin was found he could point out the hiding place of the money. In 1854 the Adams Express Company's bank in San Francisco failed, having been looted by its officers, so the story runs. The robbers attempted to escape to sea, but were in turn robbed by the sailors of the small vessel they boarded. These sailors came ashore, built the cabin and buried the money. Two of them showed up in Jacksonville and were well known. It is from one of these sailors that Owens received his information. Failing to locate Owens, Howard will and calling the latter gentleman a quotation marks flar quotation marks but we have demonstrated comma to the satisfaction of ourself comma at least comma that writing can be done without the use of any punctuation mark whatsoever period.

The bird is at a disadvantage on the ground, because it was made to fly and not to walk, and because it does not develop the full power of its tremendous wings until it has had space in which to work them. It has great difficulty in rising from the ground. Like a great ship, it needs room in which to maneuver. But in its natural realm, the upper air, the eagle will be capable of upsetting any flying machine. It can fight with its beak, claws and wings at once. PLANS BIG BIRD PRESERVE E. A. Mellichney of Louliana Buys Island is General Scheme of New Orleans, La. — Marsh island, containing about 74,000 acres, has been bought by E. A. McIlhenny of Avery Island and will be added, it is understood, to 13,000 acres deeded a few months ago to the state by Mr. McIlhenny and others to form a great preserve for wild birds. The purchase price was $146,000. Several easterners are said to be associated with Mr. Ihneny in the enterprise. The plan of conservationists is to establish throughout the Mississippi valley a chain of preserves for wild birds.

THREE DIE IN CELLAR WELL Small Girl Vainly Tries to Rescue Sister and Playmates Who Fell in Hole. Elizabeth, N. J.-Ludwig Kozlofska twelve years old, crept into a newly dug cellar in Linden, near here, to try to rescue her younger sister, Mary; her brother, John, aged seven, and another girl, Anna Petroska, aged nine, who had fallen into a well in the cellar, which was filled with rain water. Mary grabbed Ludwig's hand but she was forced to release her hold. The three children then sank. Their bodies were recovered and were removed to the morgue. The children were wading in the cellar in order to get cool. All lived in Linden. Mule's Alm Sure. Pittsburgh.—Because a mule kicked Leo Rizza, eight years old, he wants $5,000 damages and his father wants $5,000 from N. Jungharz, the owner of the animal, in a suit in trespass. On May 13 the boy entered the defendant's employ and was told to drive the mule. The defendant, it is alleged, assured the boy it was a safe animal to handle, the statement sets forth, but it is alleged the mule was a kicking mule, and that it kicked the boy from the wagon and then kicked him in the ear, affecting his hearing, kicking two teeth out and otherwise hurt and disfigured him. tom of the place, if you would neither give offense to others, nor take of sense from them.—St. Ambrose's Advice to St. Austin on Sabbath Keeping.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Let us consider wealth for a moment, says one writer. Man cuts down a tree and makes a house of it. Thus nature has been arrested—damned up, so to speak—and man has created wealth. Thus we have the thing we term wealth—houses, palaces, hovels, cities, railroads, steamships—all of the wonderful structures that man has built, which has been created by him through his energy, by arresting nature. But something else has happened meanwhile. It is about like this: In every 100 men, say, there will be one who has something else besides energy. He has brains. He is naturally superior to the rest. At first his superiority may be only the breadth of a hair. It is just enough for him to differentiate himself from the ninety and nine. Afterwards this difference may grow, as he has opportunity to cultivate it; but at first it is slight. What has this man discovered? Merely that he is capable of playing a trick upon the rest. He says: "You are doing it this way; this is a pretty good way, of course, but I think I know a better. At present each one of you is working on his own hook, and sometimes you work against each other—without meaning to, of course. Now if you will let me direct your movements a little, I can produce twice as much wealth as you are producing at present." So the man, who really makes a bargain with each one of the ninety and nine naturally gets his profit from each one. The rest don't realize this. Each one thinks he is the only one concerned. In a short time the man with brains owns about ninetenths of all the wealth that the energy of the ninety and nine men has created. This gives him more leisure to think and to develop other plans. He then creates, from the resources of his own mind, three things, namely, religion, law and government. With religion he solaces the ninety and nine poor devils who have never learned to think, and if anyone argues with him about it, he says: "Sh! would you deprive them of their greatest consolation? Apostate!" With law he arranges a process of selection so that the wealth which is constantly being created by the ninety and nine will all go to his own heirs and assigns. He fortifies himself thus against his own indiscretions, so that his children, who may not, and probably will not, have any brains at all, will be able to float along on the tire of wealth the ninety and nine are constantly renewing for them. With government he clinches the whole matter and makes respectable his process of robbing the ninety and nine. Thus we have that degenerate thing called society, a mass of retrograde brains, spouting culture, literature, art and honesty, all blindly supported by the ninety and nine, who in the first place didn't want to think, because it was too much trouble.—"Old Hickory." There is no alliment or disease more prevalent "among our people than that technically known as "aphasia." This disease attacks those brain areas that control speech. The symptoms of this disease in a mild form are lack of energy in talking, lapse of memory at frequent intervals in conversation, and a most annoying tendency to verbal "scatteration" and The negroes of Washington and the District of Columbia of the old settlers, before the war, acquired much and valuable real estate when land values were cheap, but which has appreciated greatly with the years and the marvelous improvements that have made Washington one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Much of this property was allowed by the first purchasers or their immediate heirs to get away from them, but much of it was "kept in the family," and is now held by the heirs. A very great volume has also been secured by "newcomers" since the war. The Washington Bee chronicles the passing of block 900 in S street to the ownership of negroes. For a great many years Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congressional library was the only negro proprietor in the street. Mr. Benjamin Washington purchased the adjoining property and the exodus of whites began. The Bee says: "Among the newest colonists in this '900' block of S street, are Prof, and Mrs. L. B Moore, Dr. and Mrs. W. L Tignor, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Francis, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mr. and Dr. Booker T. Washington traveled the red light districts of London, Paris and Berlin and was not molested, and thus we had "The Man Farthest Down." Then, why should it be dangerous for him to travel in the same district in his own country? An encouraging sign of the times is the fact that there are occasions when we certainly get together. Last week the entire race press featured the Washington-Ulrich case. Display headlines with well written stories of the affair did credit to the publishers. In many general lottering along instead of going directly to the point. The victim of this aliment surcharges his expressions with "er"-"er"-"er"s" until the hearer becomes nauseated; he tries to give you the name of some one, and the name eludes him; he refers to a place but can't think of its name; in other words, he is conducting you down to a point on the stream of conversation and instead of going directly to the object he turns aside and explores little rivulet running into it. Wearied, you forget what he intended to say, or where he intended to go. The talk is at once diffusive and confusing, showing that the speaker is a victim of mental "scatteration" rather than a master of concentration. This common time-wasting fault is general among both the literate and the illiterate among our people. It becomes hideously disgusting among the educated (?), who, in addition to the foregoing, inject a troop of ill-chosen pronouns which make confusion worse confounded. Some days ago a young colored man boarded a train to go to a certain place. He had failed to buy a ticket. After the train had gotten under way, the conductor came in and shouted: "Tickets, tickets." Our young man handed him a piece of money. The conductor asked, "Where do you want to go?" There was considerable hesitation, scratching of the head, floundering over the "Ah"-"ah"-"er"s" "er," and finally the fellow had to turn to his companions and ask, "What's the name 'er de place I want to go to?" This had consumed about four minutes of the conductor's time, and the latter passed on a sadder and a madder man! Through the efforts of Dr. James H. Dillard, field agent of the combined Jeanes Rural school and John F. Slater funds, a commission of southern state university professors has been formed to study the race question from an economic, educational and sociological viewpoint. "The chief aim of the organization," says Dr. Dillard, "is to study the negro in his relation to southern life. I know that student groups in many southern universities have been studying this question. They have done this systematically and with high promise. So I was led to conclude that we should look to our state universities for the prosecution of the work, and it appeared that the work could best be prosecuted through co-ordination and cooperation by all the institutions. The commission has been formed by the selection of a member from each of the 11 state universities of the south, as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Prof. C. H. Braugh of the University of Arkansas is president, and Prof. Hunley of the University of Virginia is secretary. The negro lodge and the negro church should not forget from whence cometh their strength. They control thousands of dollars yearly, nearly all of which is placed in the banks owned and operated by white men, notwithstanding the colored banks are quite numerous. There are five colored banks in Texas, and out of something like $250,000 of colored money belonging to colored lodges and churches( not 5 per cent of it can be found on deposit in colored banks.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bena fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-American, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We commend, to our readers, the editorial from the Chicago Dally World, published elsewhere in this paper. President Taft has the power "under the law" to restore "The Black Battallion" to the army. Why don't he do so? The member of the race who can support Roosevelt, NOW, has a political "stomach" that an alligator or a shark would envy. For the benefit of the editor of the Columbia (S., C.) Indicator, we desire to say what we thought every member of the race knew, and that is, that Senator Joseph Benson Foraker was an active and aggressive friend of the race for MANY years prior to the "Brownsville" affair—ever since, when but a lad, he participated in the war of the rebellion. ROOSEVELT BARS NEGROES. The Chicago Evening Post, a Roosevelt velt organ, declares that the Progressive party is to be "A White Man's Party." The colonel is going after the southern vote, and to get it he has decided that he will have to throw the Negro overboard. Of course, all sorts of plausible reasons will be advanced to explain why this action is taken, but their explanations will fall to explain. The Progressive party will harp a great deal on such phrases as "equality of opportunity" and "social justice." But their ACTS show that this is all done merely to catch votes. The great boss, Theodore Roosevelt, declares that the Negro starts his campaign by declaring that the Negroes will be debarred from participation in the affairs of the new party. What kind of "equality of op portunity" is it which debars a man from a political organization because of the color of his skin? - Chicago Daily World. ANOTHER "BROWNSVILLE"! Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his National Progressive party have officially recognized the "illy-whitees" of the south and in so doing have enforced the exclusion of the Afro-American of that section from the national conventions of the party and practically from all participation in its state organizations of that section of the country. This is the ultimatum that was issued at Chicago, Tuesday by both the Colonel, in a speech, and by his national Progressive party convention in session there. In setting forth his reasons for what will eventually prove to be most unfortunate action for both him and his party, Mr. Roosevelt boldly questioned the "charter and standing of the Negro delegates from the south to Republican conventions" in the past, and had taught to say of all the white delegates from that section to the same conventions. As a matter of fact, one was no better than the other, and too, many of both were and are of equally good "character"—if not "standing"—in their various communities and the country at large, as ex-President Theodore "Brownville" Roosevelt. All of them were not bad men by any means, as suggested by him in his speech of Tuesday. Nor will he or his party, by "taking the stand" they have, "better" individuals or political conditions in the south, as he says. On the contrary, both will be made much worse as a result of this recognition of the southern "illy-white" movement. The action is cowardly, insulting to the true American spirit and a blow at the very fundamentals of citizenship along both civil and party lines. A fine (?) "square deal for Negroes in the south" is this! GOOD LORD, PRESERVE THEM FROM ANY OF THE KIND! Roosevelt blames the Colored delegates and through them all the Afro-American voters in the south (and not the white Republicans of that section) for the failure to elect men to office and to elect any presidential electors, when all blame for this sad condition of affairs should be placed at the door of the national Republican party and its governmental representatives in the person of all the Republican presidents, their cabinets, congresses, and the U. S. supreme court, since the close of the war of the rebellion. The poor Negro of the south, since the days of reconstruction, has never had it in his power to enforce election or other laws, or to protect himself in the exercise of his suffrage or other rights; and those whose duty it was to do so—those whom he helped most materially to place in power in both the Republican party and the government — failed utterly to do THEIR sworn DUTY! And an expressent, supposedly a Republican when elected, one of the derelicts referred to, now upbraids them for something he is far more to be blamed for than they. Indeed, they are in worse to be blamed. It is strange, passing strange, that the Colonel could repeatedly, in his Tuesday's Chicago speech, criticise so harshly "the character of the great majority of the Colored delegates from the south" to Republican national conventions in the past, and have no word of criticism for their white associate delegates, many of whom (some federal office-holders) were infinitely worse than the few bad Negroes they financed and brought north with them to these conventions for purposes and reasons obvious. There is none of the boasted "square deal" in the Colonel's criticism or stand, or that of his party—on the southern Negro. It reminds us, O, so strongly, of his outrageous treatment of "The Black Battallion"—those one hundred and sixty-seven innocent soldiers "lynch-murdered" at Brownville, Tex., a few years ago, some of whom helped to save the lives of this very Colonel and his "Rough Riders" in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. MAY GOD, FORGIVE! THE CRUX OF THE LUNA PARK MATTER. It is well known that the general public (white) of this city, both male and female (white), are admitted to the dance-hall, roller-skating rink and swimming-pool as well as all other attractions) at Luna park, this city. The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, who promoted an alleged "amnipication celebration" at that park, last week Thursday, making hundreds of our people's hard-earned dollars for that park management, in common with all other Afro-Americans of this community are denied, in the three places named, their rights under the law. Knowing this, and in the face of practically the united protest of our local clergy, City Federation of Women's clubs, our press and hundreds of other self and race respecting local Afro-Americans, the Negroes of that Association, not only tried in vain to break up a most successful mass meeting of protest held in Cory M. E. church on last Monday evening, by our local Ministers' Alliance, but since have had the efforty to try to justify their most reprehensible conduct, as if such, were it true, would justify what they have done to lower the race in this community, in the matter of respect at least, in the estimation of manly and womanly whos who know of the situation at the park as regards our people and of that alleged celebration of last week Thursday. It is just such public and quasipublic exhibitions of a woeful lack of self and race respect, manhood and womanhood, that increase the rapidly growing contempt of all other classes for our race. No wonder Roosevelt and Taft, the national Progressive party and the national Republican party, have no respect whatever for the Negro race in this country. The same has always been true in the case of the Democratic party. It is hardly necessary for us to call attention to this fact. It seems quite the proper thing to do, nowadays, for "jimcrow" Negroes to work harder making excuses for color-lines of various kinds in public places, than all of our people of the various communities work to fight them down and secure their rights under the law in such places. Whither are we 'drifting? OUR THIRTIETH YEAR! With our issue of July 27, '12, The Gazette entered on the 30th year of its continuous publication; every week on time. From the beginning, it has been edited and managed by the writer who can hardly realize that so long a time "in the saddle" has elapsed. The Gazette's successful efforts to wipe out the remnants of Ohio" "Laws", years ago; to "Ohio" "Civil Rights and Anti-Lynching laws, are well-known to all of our people, particularly those here in Ohio. What it has also done, in hundreds of instances, to help and defend and encourage our people is also well known. Personal interests have always been subordinated to those of our people. What is call to Afro-Americans, in season after season, is never to accept anything in the way of treatment, less than that due all citizens, and too, than without reference to class or color. When it comes to our citizen color, when it comes to the north, we have always been unalterably opposed to a "doctrine of surrender" or conciliatory policy, and shall continue to be so. The Gazette believes in demanding for our people, in this section of the country, and continuing to fight for until secured, all that is due all American citizens under the law. THIS IS OUR SLOGAN! The Gazette's firm adherence to principle, through all these years, is its best recommendation for a larger support. The lack of sufficient patronage is the only thing that has prevented the doubling of the size of the paper and making other improvements we have greatly desired for years. Here is where our faithful following, thousands of readers in all parts of the country, from ocean to ocean and from the great lakes to the gulf, can afford us material assistance, if they will. Urge your friends and acquaintances to subscribe for The Gazette and by the first of the year double our circulation. For all you have done in past years, we thank you and assure you of our thorough appreciation. LUNA PARK COLOR LINES. Trenton, N. J., July 22 — a penalty of $500, recovered by Mrs. Minerva Miller, who was excluded from a Pascal剧院 theater because of her color, was upheld in the Supreme Court in an opinion filed by Justice Klisch July 22. The action was brought against Christopher Stampul, proprietor of the establishment, who sustained one of his agents in barring Mrs. Miller from the resort. This is the way to put a stop to the dance-hall, roller-skating rink and swimming-pool color-lines at Luna Park, this city. Our Ohio Civil Rights law is alright, says the Ohio Supreme Court. Attorneys Alexander Martin and John M. Anderson have won cases under it; also Ex-State Senator W. T. Clark, who helped the writer to pass it in the State Assembly in 1884. Indeed Mr. Clark has never lost a case under our Ohio Civil Rights law and has had many, very many victories— more than any other attorney in the city. There is no good reason, either, why similar color-lines at Euclid Beach Park and elsewhere in public places, in the city, county and the state of Ohio, should be permitted to exist. All that is necessary is for our people to emulate the example set by Mrs. Minerva Miller of Trenton, N. J. Dr. H. C. Bailey and others of this city, who have very properly and promptly gone into the courts and vindicated their rights in public places, as all womanly and manly members of the race, citizens, should do when color-lines in those places are drawn on them. Our lack of activity, along this line, does not speak well for the race or its value of its citizen rights. We must be far more active and aggressive in contending, in the courts, for them. whose opinions are to be simply just, unbiased and clear cut. Thousands of people know Mr. Henson C. Tuck. He is known by all who come to Opinion. He said: "Roosevelt's statement will strike dismay to some of the race. But he is not saying anything against the race itself. eH is merely speaking of Negroes holding office in the south. The race-papers have spoken even more plainly, and certainly in instances have been bitter against the undue prominence into which the emasculated favorites of various administrations have forced themselves to the disgust of the modest and to the hurt of the race.

I was traveling in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and on nearing a hill in this vision, immediately an awful storm came up, and as it approached and cried unto the Lord; behold! the storm has ceased, and there was a perfect calm. 2. The light appeared and upon this hill came a whirlwind as clear as day, and a great fire of fire infolling itself. 3.

Snyder, who presents this letter, has requested me to certify to some of the predictions which have come true and which have been made by him. In a general way I know of the following prophecies which he made and which have been fulfilled. In 1906 Great Blast of Heat. In 1907 Floods in the West, Drought and Famine upon America. Great Fires in the West. In 1908 Floods in the South, people homeless. What he yet predicts, follows, viz: Earthquakes. Whirlwinds in south. Big mortality in west. Great war caused by international law. A deluge of incessant rain, and cities in South destroyed. (Signed) W.B. Gray, City Editor. Other race papers, please copy. Only One Real Road. There is only one real road to human prosperity, and it is the same for a nation as for an individual.

HENSON C. TUCK ON SOUTHERN NEGRO, OEJECF-HOLDERS. Oberlin, O., August 6, 1912. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Roosevelt does not want Negro office-holders from the south to take part in his convention. The papers have given his words to the public and a new mile-post in the progress of the Negro has been planted. It is the accident of conditions which has placed the Negro in a position where they are. They do not represent votes, they are not the choice of a constituency. As delegates to a convention, they can sometimes dictate nominations, but in no instance can they aid in the subsequent election. Roosevelt is a blunt and matter of fact man and has simply brushed aside so much worthless rubbish. His movement is earnest and those connected with it are as earnest as the men who sign the Declaration of Independence. Signed by my views when I read what Roosevelt had said. Many will have other opinions. I have had a talk with one of the representative business men of Oberlin, a man of the race, whose career in business has always been unhumped by the fact of race-relations, and whose opinions are likely to be he simply just, unbiased and clear cut. Thousands of people know Mr. Henson C. Tuck. He is known by all who come to Oberlin. He said: "Roosevelt's statement will strike dismay to some of the race. But he is not saying anything against the race itself. eH is merely speaking of Negroes holding office in the city. He is not saying anything even more plainly, and certainly in instances have been bitter against the undue prominence into which the emasculated favorites of various administrations have forced themselves to the disgust of the modest and to the hurt of the race. "I regard the stand of Roosevelt as right and timely. As a people we can expect to go forward by merit alone and we must have something substantial under our feet at each advance step. The Negro is not a ward of the city, but unimaginable, and must make his way. All he needs is a just and fair chance. Given a fair chance he will get to whatever place he is fitted to fill." J. M.

Mingo Sanders of "The Black Battalion", has been appointed a messenger in the Interior Department, Washington, D. C., at $70 a month. Why don't the President reinstate Sanders in the army? He has the power. There is no necessary forage in Sanders in Indiana. Some one should tell Congressman Rodenberg, this. Said President Taft, recently: "I do not think it possible to secure the punishment of lynching in the Federal courts. Lynching is not distinct from the general class of crimes within the State jurisdiction, and it would be very difficult to draw a line of distinction, which would preserve the general class of crimes in the State jurisdiction." The various states must follow Ohio's lead and enact anti-lynching laws, like Illinois did some years ago. Just before the Chicago convention it was reported from Washington that much bitterness had been engendered among the members of the "Black Cabinet" by Ralph Tyler's efforts to "freeze out" the other prominent members and take unto himself the sole management of the campaign to line up the Negro delegates for Taft. Latter reports are to the effect that, since the Progressive party is now ignored and are now perfectly willing that Tyler should have all the honor he craved.—Charleson (W. Va.) Advocate.

He asserts that they told him much of the furniture had been sold and refused to turn over what remained.

Judson Harmon on July 12, appointed the editor of The Gazette a delegate from Ohio to attend the fiftieth anniversary emancipation celebration and national jubilee to be held in Washington, D. C., Sept. 16. So was the memorial and unselolleted. So was the "appointment" in connection with the same celebration, noted in this paper recently. The three local K. P. lodges and Courts of Calanthe will be at St. James A. M. E. church, Sunday, the 18th, when the annual church rally is to be held. Rev. F. G. Snelson, the pastor, is trustee, prelate and auditor of Edwin Cowles lodge. Revs. Bundy, Bailey and other local ministers will speak in the afternoon; and K.

An employee (white) of Luna park informs The Gazette that there were between two thousand and twenty-five hundred Negroes in Luna park last week. Thursday—not half the number expected at the alleged emancipation celebration; or since claimed to have been there. HUNDREDS and even THOUSANDS of our people refused to self self and move respect, manhood and womanhood and go to "color-line Luna", last week. Thursday. Even Mayor Baker, very wise, step-timed speaking, and Attorney Cummings' short address was a disappointment. Dr. H. C. Bailey is clear he says, while the denominational bodies are considering the matter of erecting institutional plants in strategic centers among foreign-speaking peoples of the city, would it not be advisable for some one to start a movement to erect a large institutional building of our people would profit by the social, educational and religious influences of such an institution. When Hattie Douglas, 1206 Central Ave., admitted in municipal court, Wednesday, that she owned a titan blond wig, which she occasionally wore. Judge Levine bound her over to the grand jury under a $300 bond on a pocket picking charge. C. W. Munson (white), 2248 East 88th St., was standing at East 14th St. and Central Ave. when he felt a hand stealing into his hip pocket, where he had $20 in a wallet. He turned and saw a woman with red hair running down the street. He was confronted by a Colored man who knocked him down. He arose and continued the chase and caught Hattie Douglas, but failed to identify her positively, as the red hair was missing. When an Afro-American, and especially a Negro minister, undertakes to plead in extinuation of discrimination against the men, women and children of the race, and urges the patronizing of a park or other management that may be insulting men holding by his brother ministers of the race, to protest against that very thing, little remains to be said. It is, indeed, the "limil". What about an alleged association of Colored men which not only pleads in extinuation, but actually induces misguided men to commit a park and spend their hard earned money with such a management? GOD, FORGIVE! Be it said to their everlasting credit—HUNDREDS of our people refused to lower their manhood and womanhood, self and race respect, and go to Luna and the other men, but remained away. More power to, and all praise for them. Cory M. E. church's S. S. room was crowded to the doors last week Monday. The Ministers' Alliance is due the unstinted PRAISE of all manly and womanly members of the race, for the courage and manhood exhibited in holding the meeting to protest. It was unquestionably their DUTY to do, in order to inform their members and all others of the race, for the race and themselves, in staying away from a park that insults and degrades our people by putting them down lower than the lowest immoral whites in the community, by their unlawful discrimination in the park dance hall, skating rink and swimming pool on nearly every day of the year that the park is open except possibly Ang. 1. Those in Luna park, last week Thursday, were not allowed to use the swimming pool, (as usual). The promptness and thoroughness of the work undertaken, at the meeting, last week Monday evening at Cory M. E. church, has given rise to many a good laugh, last and this week. Before going to the meeting they had boasted of what they intended doing, &c. It only took Herbert L. Taylor, Dr J. K. Nickens and the editor of The Gazette a few minutes to lead the audience into "tieing tin-cans" to the disturbers "talls," and sending them greatly chagrined, on the jump, back to Central Ay, then with an avowed and boasted of breaking up the meeting. They proved "easy," too, and received a greatly needed lesson. The meeting was then adjourned on motion of the editor of The Gazette. WONDERFUL RESULTS ON SHORT NOTICE I have used your Pomade.

The remarkable thing about this Belgian town is that the residents accept patients in their own homes so that they may enjoy the beneficial effects of domestic and social intercourse.

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 method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fair fact that an sanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

NEW YORKER AND CALIFORNIA MAN ARE STANDARD BEARERS OF PROGRESSIVES. NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION Candidates for President and Vice President of United States Make Speeches Accepting Honor Conferred on Them. Chicago. Without the taking of a single ballot, after breaking the record for demonstrations, after introducing women for the first time as a force in national politics, the national Progressive convention adjourned August 7, having named Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency and Hilram W. Johnson for the vice presidency. The nominations followed the adoption of a platform that marked a new era in progressiveness for political documents. H. W. JOHNSON With uplifted hand, in reverent attitude, Theodore Roosevelt, maintaining all the solemnity and impressiveness of one subscribing to an oath of office and in the presence of 15,000 people, accepted from the national convention of the Progressives the nomination for president of the United States. "I have been president," Col. Roosevelt said, slowly, and with deep feeling, "I have seen much of life, but by far the greatest honor that has come to me is to be called by you to the leadership of this great movement in American history. Pledges Self to Reforms. "I appreciate that this is the greatest opportunity that can come to any man if he has the stuff in him to do something that is for the common good. "I pledge my word to do everything I can, to put every particle of courage and of good sense that I have at your disposal, and to live up to the obligation you have put upon me, and to carry out, as far as I may have the power, the policies to which you have solemnly dedicated yourselves and the people whom you represent." Col. Roosevelt stepped aside and Hiram W. Johnson, California's militant Progressive executive, took his place under the sounding board in Chicago's Coliseum, and with ringing voice accepted the nomination for the vice presidency. "I enlisted long since," he said, "for this war for humanity. It's your fight and humanity's fight and I must accept any place you accord me with grateful heart in this new era under the new creed of a fair deal for all humanity. All the virility, all the force and all the fighting strength I have will be employed in the struggle. I'd rather go down to defeat with Theodore Roosevelt than to victory with any other presidential candidate." And then the great audience sang "wrote God From Whom All Bless- ings." M. JUDGE BEN B. LINDSEY. Seconded Nominations of Roosevelt and Johnson. The Progressive convention began with hymn and prayer, closed with doxology and benediction. In the three days which have elapsed a new national party has been born, a declaration of principles adopted unlike any platform ever before produced by any partisan organization in the number and character of the doctrines. Drowns in Shallow Water. Philadelphia, Pa.—Shocked by electricity, which hurled him into four feet of water in a bathing pool, Abraham Slitzsky, 14, was drowned in the model bathhouse. The ceiling of the bathhouse is low and about five feet from the floor is an electric switch box, protected by a glass door. For some reason Slitzaky began playing with this, and as a mistaken precaution against being shocked, he obtained a wet towel with which he turned on the switch. The wet towel proved a deadly conductor. LAUDS COL. ROOSEVELT PREENDERGAST PLACES TEDDY'S NAME IN NOMINATION. Says Rough Rider Has Fought the Most Vicious Forces in American Life and Conquered Them. Chicago:—Placing Col Roosevelt in nomination for the presidency, Controller William A. Preendergast of New York said: "This great gathering owes its being to a mighty protest against those who have poisoned the wells of the democracy. The platform you have adopted today says to the American people: 'We recognize the social and industrial issues of the time. We present remedies for them. You cannot expect relief from either of the old parties.' But experience tells us that conquering is slow unless the legions are led by one whose qualities of leadership are equal to the task of molding public opinion and establishing a new epoch in American history. Such leadership is personified in him whose name I present to you. My candidate is a national asset. In this momentous period of political doubt there is no man who presents such credentials as his. He has fought the most vicious forces in American life and conquered them. He surrendered the presidency in the hope that other hands would prosecute successfully what he did not have time to finish. That test has been treated with intermittent loyalty and largely left undone. While others talked he acted. "My candidate is the 'man courageous.' Where the people's interests have been menaced he has known no fear and asked no quarter. It is inevitable that a man who has aroused the bitter hatred of the mighty of finance should have raised up enemies who seek to destroy him. He is the only man in public life today of whom they have any genuine fear. To such a leader the hearts of millions of Americans turn in this national crisis. Such a leader they ask you to give them the courage to pledge themselves to God and country, so do we consecrate our lives to the service of that enduring democracy, and as the leader in this crusade I present to you America's greatest statesman and lion-hearted citizen—Theodore Roosevelt." championed and in the emphatic pledges made to the people, and a ticket nominated which in its personnel joins the Atlantic seaboard with the Golden Coast. PETER Temporary and Permanent Chairman of Convention. The formal organization of the new party was not effected until the afternoon, when the report of the rules and order of business was adopted by the conventoin. The rules provided for a basis of national convention representation proportionate to the voting strength of the party in each state and district, as well as for the election of delegates in such a way that there would be no contests for national committees to pass upon. They further provided that public officers appointed by the president of the United States could not sit in national committees. The organization will hereafter be officially known as the "Progressive party," the word "national" being eliminated by the rules which were adopted by the committee. Teddy Placed in Nomination. Col. Roosevelt was placed in nomination for president of the United States on the Progressive ticket by William A. Prendergast of New York. At the conclusion of his speech there was an ovation for Roosevelt which continued 45 minutes. Seconding speeches were then made by Judge Lindsey of Colorado, Jane Addams of Chicago and others. John M. Parker of Louisiana then took the platform to nominate Gov. Hiram W. Johnson of California for vice president. Parker's speech was brief and when he concluded a demonstration for Johnson was begun. Medill M.Cormick from the platform led the cheers for Johnson. About about 15 minutes of noise Bevridge restored quiet and Judge Ben Lindsey of Colorado was recognized to second the nomination of Johnson, Lindsey, who had himself been mentioned for vice president, was greeted with a long cheer. James R. Garfield of Ohio rose to second Johnson's nomination. American Ships Pay No Toll. Washington, D. C.—After an all day discussion the senate, by a vote of 44 to 11, kept in the canal bill the house provision granting freedom from tolls to all American ships engaged in the coastwise trade. On motion of Senator Hoke Smith the word "exclusively" was inserted Those who supported Senator Burton's motion to strike out the exemption from tolls were Brandegee, Burton, Crane, Fall, Gronna, Lodge, Nelson, Oliver, Penrose, Root and Wet more. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1912. A. PLATFORM OF THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY ADVOCADTES POLITICAL, INDUS TRIAL, COMMERCIAL, SOCIAL AND TARIFF REFORMS. RECALL OF JUDICIAL DECISIONS A Living Wage and the Establishment of Minimum Wage Commissions by Nation and States—Sound, Elastic Currency. Chicago—The platform adopted at the national convention of the Progressive party advocates political, industrial, agrarian, commercial and social conservation and tariff reforms. It is in the form of a "contract with the people" and was mostly written by Col. Roosevelt. The platform opens thus: "A Covenant With the People." "The conscience of the people, in a time of grave national problems, has called into being a new party, born of the nation's awakened sense of justice. We of the Progressive party here dedicate ourselves to the fulfillment of the duty upon us by our fathers—to maintain that government of the people, by the people and for the people, whose foundation they laid. "This country belongs to the people who inhabit it. Its resources, its business, its institutions and its laws should be utilized, maintained or altered in whatever manner will best promote the general interest.

Seas Abound With Cod; Line Can Be Dropped in Fifty Fathoms of Water and Will Not Touch Bottom, Owing to Fish. Copenhagen, Norway.—A commission to investigate iron ores and their mining and reduction in certain parts of northern Europe found me on a bleak November day aboard the trim little steel ship Astrea, a post steam er of the Bergenske Dampsskiffels cab. The journey up the coast was a most interesting one. The ship coasted the frowning and glazier plained rocks of what is, literally, an ironbound land, for the rocks of Norwegian mountains for a distance of more than five hundred miles north and east from latitude 66 contain a considerable proportion of iron mineral; it is true that in most places this is too lean to be now available for commercial use, but its totals are staggering to the imagination. With abundant water power at hand, and with water transport in all the markets of the globe, who will have the hardihood to say that some time these deposits may not be made use of? We passed the mouths of fjords cut deep into the interior; glaciers, brilliant in the sun, stretching their widths across the distance. We saw the Norwegian cod fishing industry, by which no less than fifty million cod are annually taken; and, at Svolvaer, we met hundreds of vessels of the fishing fleets. These seas off the Lofoten islands swarm with cod, and Baedeker says that at times and places hereabouts a line thrown into 50 fathoms of water will not reach bottom for the backs of the fish. It is the sea that supports northern Norway; without its harvest life would be impossible, and the government so fully recognizes this fact that it has established complete telegraph and telephone communication between the Lofotens and the mainland and upon many of the outlying islands has wireless stations for communication between the fleets and the shore. Svolvaer is a town of two or three thousand fisher folk, but it has its water malns, its electric lights, its sewers, its cables and its well stocked shops. We passed Narvik, the most northerly railway terminus in the world, and threaded the island passages to Hammerfest. At Vadso the next morning I changed to the local steamer Veranger, and spent the day crossing the great fjord Lake Leon, Norway. of that name. The cabin was a mite of a hole well aft, and crowded by women and babies; the deck was unprotected, and the wind was bitterly cold and raw. How well I remember that I spent the day alternately freezing in the lee of the pilothouse and thawing under the shelter of the smokestack! And there had been no opportunity for a meal between a supper on the Astrea the night before and another that evening, when I sat down in the chilly room of the hotel at Kirchenes—which is Sydvarger—Dwight E. Woodbridge, in Engineering Magazine. SAVINGS TIED UP 30 YEARS Old Housekeeper's Long Effort to Regain $1,100 From Priest's Estate. Trenton, N. J.—An effort is being made by Mrs. Katherine Logue of this city to recover $1,100 from the estate of the late Rev. Father Missile of Basking Ridge. Mrs. Logue was the housekeeper for the priest and entrusted her savings to him thirty years ago. She was suddenly called to Ireland and before she returned the priest died. The money passed into the hands of the executors and for years Mrs. Logue has been trying to get possession of it, but she has no evidence that she gave it to the priest. Monsignor John H. Fox has now taken up the woman's case and will make an effort to get the money. STOCKINGS OF GOLD THREAD They Are to Cost $25 and to Be Worn with Shortened Skirts This Season. New York—According to a fashion paper women's stockings made from real gold thread and silk are to be the proper thing abroad this season. They come from Vienna and cost $25 a pair.

To enable these embellishments to be visible, shorter skirts are to be insisted upon by the dressmakers, it is anounced. WAR AID TO ARCHAEOLOGY Many New Discoveries Are Unlikely, Owing to Italy's Occupation of Territory. Rome.—The wealth of ancient relics dating from the days of Grecian and Roman dominion over the Mediterranean, that is constantly being brought to light by Italy's occupation of Tripolitania, Cyrene, and the eastern islands of the Aegean has been indicated from time to time by writers for the press, but there is another period of history quite as fascinating which is being revealed—the epochs of the Crusaders. And as though foreshadowing an excursion into Crete, the archaeological relics of that island, which recall the proudest years of the power of Venice, receive special notice. Nor should it be forgotten that the Cretians once held the field of Italy's present North African campaign, and left there monuments of their brief but complete domination. At Cyrene there are tombs built by the Greeks with the aid of the Egyptian slaves, which at the time of the Italian invasion, were used as dwellings by the Arabs. These tombs, half Excavating the Site of Ancient City. buried in the shifting sands, are perfect mines of archaeological treasures. The valley and side of the hill of Mahmoura, for example, are covered with these tombs, from which their latest living dwellers have been driven by the Italian soldiers. The great reservoir of the Greeks at Cyrene has also been uncovered and promises a rich harvest of antique treasures, which may cause much history to be rewritten. At Rhodes, although the Colossus is no longer seen, its foundatns have been uncovered under the medieval fortresses of St. Michael and St. Nicholas. But these works belong to the island and the knights used it as a base of supply for the Third Crusade. In Rhodes there are castles where the coat of arms of French Crusaders can still be seen—the Montjoynes, the St. Denises, the Cardinal d'Aubusson, and Philippe de Villiers. COW STARTS HAIR PULLING Quart of Woman's Chief Adornment Exhibit in Assault Case—Had Allenated Husband's Affections. Burlington, N. J. A bundle of long, brown hair, sufficient to have filled a quart measure, was an exhibit offered in evidence against Mrs. Mary Hotoski at a hearing before Magistrate Smith to prove the strenuous methods she took to show her dislike for and jealousy of Mrs. Watisla Drombos, a neighbor. Mrs. Drombos, her head minus half its tresses, glared defiantly at the prisoner as the little, wry woman in the dock told of the event that led up to the hair pulling. Mrs. Hotoski said the plantiff had tried to win the affections of the prisoner's husband, Charles. "I tried to forget Charlie's attention to her, judge, until the other evening he brought home a cow and gave it to this woman as a present," said Mrs. Hotoski. What would have happened to Mrs. Drombos, who weighs nearly 300 pounds, but was no match for her featherweight antagonist, had not neighbors separated them, the police can only surmise if under $200 ball to the grand jury, requires to institute a counter suit. DISROBES TO ESCAPE ARREST Young Woman Charged With Theft Baffles Providence Detectives in a Queer Way. Providence, R. I.-When detectives tried to arrest Annie Currie, twenty-two years of age, on a charge of the larceny of a diamond ring valued at $75 she held them at bay at the door of her room in a house on Broadway all day by refusing to do any clothing. The young woman, as soon as the inspectors began questioning her, bolted into her room and started to undress. The officers tried to take her in charge, but her actions became such that they desisted and, blushing, left her room. For several hours, at varying intervals, the inspectors in turn asked the young woman to come out. She refused. It was not until evening that a young woman, a friend of Annie, succeeded in persuading her to dress. Cut Teeth From Girl's Throat New York.—Miss Mary Cremins, unknown to herself, swallowed several closely bridged false teeth over a year ago. They lodged in her throat and caused her great pain.

STREET AND NO..... STATE.... Why the "Beauty Spot?" "It had to come—there was no way by which its advent might have been averted." This wall in a Paris newspaper did not refer to a great catastrophe, but to the "beauty spot," the speck of black plaster "which, worn on chin or chin, or bon, makes natual teed (real or otherwise conspicuous)." The writer adds that when pannier skirts, high heeled shoes and many puffs in the hair were fashionable the "beauty spot" was a necessary accompaniment, and that when the makers of fashions consulted old prints this was found to be so, and a few wax heads in the show windows of the hardressers decorated with the black spots did the rest. The fashion was established, or rather received. The Opportunite. To my mind, he who does not help us at the needful moment, never helps; he who does not counsel at the needful moment, never counsels. I also reckon it essential that we lay down and continually impress on children certain laws to operate as a kind of hold in life. Nay, I could almost venture to assert that it is better to be wrong by rule than to be wrong with nothing but the fitful caprices of our dispositions to impel us hither and thither; and in my way of viewing men, there always seems to be a void in their nature, which cannot be filled up except by some decisive and distinctly settled law.
