THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 4. BEST ARRANGEMENT OF COIFFURE 4 IN UNION THERE IS UNION THIRTIETH YEAR BEST ARRANGEM SOME styles of hair dressing are not suited to dark shades of hair, but are especially effective for blondes. Those whose hair is in the lighter red shades, in gold or pale drab shades, and especially the ash blondes, may pick out fluffy and elaborate collours which are suited to their individual style. An unusual collure is shown here worn by a model with pale gold hair. The very white skin and dark eyes perhaps lend a charm to this hair dress. It shows a return to many thin, fluffy puffs covering the back of the head and curled fringe across the forehead. This fringe is curled in little ringlets on a small iron and Many of the Modes Verge on the Garish, Though Remarkably Pretty Effects Are Produced. Just as colors in hosiery have been used with discretion by the woman with a talent for dress, so have colors in our footwear. Some women have adopted gayly colored tops for their shoes with an eclat which carried them off; others have impressed us with the vulgarity of the new whina. But one and all have fallen captive to the new Colonial slipper, which was introduced along with the dashing little Directoire coats, the Continental hats, and other reminders of the Napoleonic period. It is a jaunty little affair, which is simply bewitching on the right foot, a slender little foot with a well arched instep, for it boasts a broad pointed tongue, spreading out over the insted, a high heel, on the Spanish order, and a stunning buckle — just such a buckle as the more fortunate of us have handed down for generations. We copyists of today select such a bugle in gumetal, leather, old silver, or, if we wish to be very rash, rhinestones. Can't you see just how fascinating these slippers can be? For evening, our satin slippers, whether in black or a color to match the gown, are brilliant with buckles of the glittering rhinestones, or cut steel. The bow knots of platinum, set with brillants, are entrancing as adornments to a dainty satin slipper. Still another fancy calls for a button of brillants. SERVING THE AFTERNOON TEA Appurtenances May Be Costly or Simple, but Everything Must Be of the Daintiest Order. When the woman who is her own maid serves afternoon tea she appreciates the convenience of having a cart which can be wheeled from kitchen to living room and will hold everything that is needed for the collation. The carts come in mahogany or fumed oak with glass top shelves and rubber tired wheels and in natural wood with rattan, and, considering their usefulness, none are very expensive. Lacking the cart, many housekeepers have in their living room a little oak or mahogany or willow - tea table equipped with a spoon drawer, which also holds several paper napkins. Instead of keeping the service upon the table its top is ordinarily covered with an elaborately embroidered silken mat, which is whisked off when the tea equipage is brought in on a tray of the proper size. Unless this tray is a handsome affair of glass rimmed with mahogany, silver or brass, it should be covered with a fine linen tray cloth and be accompanied by a muffin stand of wood or of willow. Space-Saving Parasols. There is a growing fancy for parasols and umbrellas that can be easily packed. One of the newest is adjustable to any angle, which makes it convenient for motoring, tennis tournaments or the races, and when closed the top disappears in the handle. This sunshade has a rosette and loop by which it can be slung over the wrist. Folding umbrellas are now made to go in small trunks and compact enough to be tucked into a suitcase or even a sachel. An umbrella which does not fold, but weighs only twelve ounces, is of thin, strong silk on a light steel frame and stick. THE GAZETTE they are the new and individual feature of this style. Not everyone can wear them. All the hair is waved for this hair dress and the puffs are quite liberally pinned on. That would at any rate be the most convenient way in which to wear them. They are too light and fluffy to burden or heat the head and as a matter of fact, much more comfortable than the natural hair is when arranged in so many puffs. It will be noticed that the puffs are arranged very close to the head and that there is not much hair at the sides of the face as in the greater number of today's coiffures. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Having the Fringe and Beads, the Decoration Is by No Means Hard to Put Together. A very simple bead tassel can be made from deep fringe or from loose beads. If you use loose beads you must thread forty lengths of seventy beads each, or twenty lengths of a hundred and thirty beads if a double end is preferred to a single one. Each length is attached to a narrow strip of satin ribbon, which is then wound round and round and stitched through to prevent the middle of the little bundle from slipping. If the tassel is made of fringe, cut off five inches and wrap the heading round and sew as described above. Next take a piece of stiffening one inch and a half long. two inches tread at one end and three-quarters of an inch at the other. Cover with silk and oversew the edges together so as to form a tube. Slip the satin ribbon inside the larger aperture in the tube and stitch through securely, for the beads make the tassel very heavy. Thread about two hundred beads and wind the string round the tube to completely cover the silk, sewing at intervals. Make another string of eighty beads, double into three, and sew to the top to form a loop. CHILD'S SUIT. This attractive little suit is of tussah silk in natural color. The dress is made with a long-waisted blouse and short skirt, the latter finished with lace to match. The blouse is trimmed at the top with hand-embroiderd dots, and the girdle is of taffeta of a contrasting color. The pretty jacket has a waistcoat, buttons and cravat of taffeta like the girdle. Wrinkled Seam. When a seam becomes wrinkled sewing on the machine, dampen slightly and press it on the right side with a warm iron, laying a piece of the same material over it and pulling the seam gently as you run the iron over it. This will shrink the material and the seam will become quite smooth. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1912. MOTORS FOR SHIPS LIMIT ON BATHERS Only One Hour Is Allowed Swimmers at This Beach. Authorities Have No Difficulty in Regulating Length of Stay, but Can't Make Them Come Out When Their Time Is Up. Boston, Mass—Revere, a suburb of this city, has a burning question. It is not who will be the next president or whether the Red Sox will get the pennant or not. These important problems are discussed far less around the popcorn booth and the cool trains of the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn railroad than "How are they going to keep tabs on the bathers under that new one-hour limit rule?" Will the policeman on duty have to stand on the beach and sing out the time at minute intervals that the occupants of the suits may get back to their rooms within the hour? How can the bathers be depended upon to remember at which hour they went to the water? Would it be feasible to chalk the time of day on each bather as he spends gracefully down the runway upon the sands? These and many other conjectures are being made. The proposal to put in a time clock is strongly opposed by the labor interests. They say that play will be just like work when they have to "punch the clock" at the beginning and end of their bathing hour. Others say that under the new system the bathers will not fully enjoy their hour's splash when they have to remember constantly that they are swimming against time. The fun of the dip is just to slosh around and have a good time. Under the new system, they say, all you would have would be a short time. And that con- MOTORS Electricity Will Propel War Vessel in Future. Plans for Innovation Are Now Under Way—Experts Declare Engine and New York.—The plan for future battleship propulsion is to drive each ship propeller with a powerful electric motor direct connected to the propeller shaft, this doing away with all gears and consequent loss of power. This new arrangement would also save an enormous amount of coal and greatly facilitate the handling of the ship, as with electricity it is quite possible to control the ship from the bridge, eliminating the ringing of signal bells or with telephoning to the engine room, located far away in the interior of the ship. The man on the bridge can start, stop, slow up or reverse the motors at will. While the steam turbine engine shows better results for ship propulsion than the old reciprocating types, experiment has proved that turbine engines must travel at a high rate of speed to give their greatest economies and when they are used for ship propulsion this speed must be cut down with the aid of gear systems, incurring a serious loss of power. The United States collier Jupiter, which is being built at the Mare Ila and navy yard, will be the first large vessel to be equipped with electric propulsion, the Electric News remarks: The general scheme embraces a steam turbo-generator set delivering its electrical output to a pair of induction motors, each of which will be direct connected to its own propeller shaft. The designer of this equipment is W. L. R. Emmet of Schenectady, who described its principal features and the method of control in a paper read before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The generating unit consists of a six stage Curtis turbine connected to an alternating current generator. The collers Neptune and Cyclops, now in commission, are sister ships to FIGURED CLOSE IN FINING HER Woman Is Assessed $3 for Making Five Inch Error in a Guess at Auto Trial. Minneapolis, Minn.—Mrs. Josephine McMichael in municipal court paid $3 because of an error of five inches in judgment of distance revealed after the judge, the lawyers and spectators all had puzzled their brains in figuring out an arithmetical problem. She was charged with driving her car within ten feet of a street car discharging passengers. The spot where the automobile stood was agreed to easily enough. The street then was measured and allowance made for the "overhang" of the street car and the width of the automobile, and it was found that the automobile was just nine feet seven inches from the street car.

The marquis is the possessor of vast riches. Cannibal Race in the West stant consciousness of the hour limit would weigh on the heart like the thought of the way the taxi clock is pilling up a dime every half minute weighs upon the youth who has come eagerly a half hour ahead of time to take his girl to the concert and has to adjust forty-five minutes for her to adjust her millinery. The problem is much a puzzle to the girl at the bathhouse as anybody else. They admit they have arrived at no solution to the riddle. Just now bathers may stay in as long as they like, owing to the cold weather. One employ thought a good way would be to check up the time of each key and then charge the bather 25 th uptiter. The Cyclops is equipped w triple expansion reciprocating en es and the Neptune is equipped with a pair of steam turbines with gear reduction. The electrical equipment of the Jupiter was given a thorough test a few days ago before a party of naval officers. The test showed beyond a doubt that electricity is the ideal power for battleships and other large steamships. Nearly all the work aboard a modern battleship, exclusive of propulsion, is now done by electricity and there is no reason why they should not be completely electrified inasmuch as the Curtis steam turbines take but little room, and the motors even less, there is no reason why the available horsepower of future battleships could not be much larger than at present, thus increasing their speed beyond the present record and making them more efficient. The saving of the power now lost in battleships driven by reciprocating engines would make a vast difference in the speed records. BARBERS ARE PUT IN PLIGHT Consul in China Reports Market for Supplies Upbeat by Recent Re for China Washington—Consul C. I. L. W. Williams, from Shatow, China, sends in word that the recent edict in China which commands that all cues be severed has rather upset the market in that country for barbers' supplies. There is somewhat of a tendency to do away with barbers altogether, although barbers, the consul adds, never did thrive particularly well. Itinerants—tonsoral artists who carried their kits about with them and who never went to the trouble of establishing permanent stands—were the rule rather than the exception. The barbers, in fact, are less than that a hair clipper, which costs about $1.25, is all that is necessary. The outlook for the sale of razors is very poor, the consul reports, since the custom of shaving the head has given place to home hair cutting. The Japanese have entered the field and are retailing a safety razor for about 16 cents, American money. Evidence Found by R. F. Gilder to Prove Traditions of the Omaha Indians Omaha, Neb.—Traditions among the Omaha Indians to the effect that a tribe of cannibals once lived in the Valley of the Missouri have been verified apparently by discoveries made recently near this city by persons operating under the direction of R. F. Gilder, a well-known archaeologist. The Omaha Indians came to this region from the Ohio river about 300 years ago. These pioneers heard from other Indians who then lived from other of the former existence of a tribe that ate human flesh. Inquiry among other tribes that had formerly been in the valley showed that they had the same tradition, and persons interested in uncovering the history of the early inhabitants of America undertook to learn if there was truth in these tales. The search has been going on for eight years. At the beginning it was found that some race had lived on the bluffs of the Missouri in dugouts, which at times were 10 feet deep and were roofted with poles over which were laid twigs, grass, and earth. In the floors of these were caches in WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY 185, 1883, SINCE. JUST 17, 1912.

Altogether the ramifications of the possibilities of the one-hour limit idea are so fruitful of complications that the authorities are rather glad that they have not been required to enforce it a single day since the order was issued. AFRICAN PYGMY AT ZOO New Yorkers Soon to Have Opportunity to See Rare Animal Captives. New York—For the first time on record visitors to New York zoo will shortly have an opportunity to inspect what is probably the rarest animal that has ever been made a part of any such collection—that is, the pygmy hippopotamus. These pocket editions of the "blood-sweating behemoth" were discovered in 1884 in Africa, and it has taken nearly thirty years to secure these first live specimens, although a few mounted bodies have been shown, since their habitat so far as known is confined to a remote territory peopled by bloodthirsty cannibals. The two specimens which have now been acquired, a male and a female, cost the zoo $12,000, a figure which indicates their rarity. According to descriptions that have crossed the Atlantic ahead of the pair, the male is 30 inches high at the shoulders, 70 inches long from the end of his nose to the base of his tail, and his tail is 12 inches long. He weighs 419 pounds. The female, believed to be only two years old, is 18 inches high and weighs 175 pounds. In comparison, Caliph, the enormous male hippopotamus who now stands in a mounted state in the American Museum of Natural History, stood 4 feet 9½ inches high at the shoulders, was 12 feet 4 inches in length from end to nose of root, tail his circumference was 11 feet 8 inches and his weight has been given as close to 6,500 pounds. Beside the enormous bulk of a full grown male hippo of the common species, the pygmy is like a six months' old human infant of thirteen pounds weight beside a man of 180 pounds. In bulk one adult Nile hippo weighing 6,000 pounds is equal to fourteen adult male pygmy hippos. Twins Come to Aged Couple. Twins Come to Aged Couple. Eugene, Ore.—Twin boys, each weighing eight pounds, were born to Mr. and Mrs. John Waring, who live in New York and here. Unusual as this weight is for twins, there is a more remarkable feature in the fact that the father is past sixty-seven years of age. which were stored property and food. These from time to time have yielded evidence of cannibalism, but nothing that appeared conclusive was unearthed until this summer, when in a small dugout, one of eight, were found bones which Mr. Gilder believes show absolutely that human flesh was cooked to be eaten. "In all there were found parts of at least 16 human skulls ranging from the smallest infant to the senile subject," said Mr. Gilder in announcing this discovery. "Many showed the peculiar color which bones assume on being bolted. In my possession there is a vast assortment of food bones of quadrupeds and birds.

Seven Whales are Sighted. Sayville, L. I—A school of seven whales was sighted off this beach. The largest body of whales ever seen here. his us have s It may or may not be generally known, but is nevertheless true, that the lowest form of negro life (morally) is found on large plantations where hundreds of negroes are grouped and worked from generation to generation. Conditions on many such farms indicate that the great mass of negroes there are not only immoral, but unmoral. Our uplift leaders find it more convenient to collect money to send to Africa than to attack these "little Africas" right at our doors. Occasionally some preacher finds himself sent out to some of these big plantations, and is afraid to cry aloud against the corrupt life he finds there — we have never produced any pulpit martyrs! Hence, the problem remains untouched. The Interstate Reporter touches upon this phase of negro life in a recent issue, and shows how the negro is protected in this sort of living. It says: "On some plantations owned by rich white men, a negro can do anything he wants, if he is a good hand, and the plantation owner will see to it that he is not molested. This kind of thing is as much against the best interest of the negro race as any other evil that exists within the race; that is not the way to protect him, when he is wrong; he should be allowed to pay the penalty of his wrong-doing. The negroes on some of these farms are allowed to shoot one another, separate one another from their wives or husbands, and if the one who is guilty of this kind of crime is a good hand he is allowed to go unpunished. This kind of protection is keeping the race down and making criminals of them. But the kind of protection the negro needs is to give him a fair and impartial trial when he is accused, the same as the law demands for white men, and if he is found guilty according to the law and evidence, let him suffer the penalty of the law, and not protect him just because he is a good hand." Despite the fact that Chicago is a "wide open" city, there are hundreds and hundreds of young men here that are living decent and clean lives and are not going on daily blindfolded into the pits of immorality. There are ten or more social clubs here that have for their aim the moral, social and intellectual betterment of their lives. They are members of the various Sunday schools, Y. M. C. A. and churches. They are business and professional men, clerks, carriers, and others engaged in other walks of life that require honesty, sobriety and intelligence. There is no doubt about the shiftless class that hang around the corners and in bar rooms—they are here, too, in great numbers, much to our regret—Illinois Chronicle. The first annual meeting of the negro business leagues of the state of Kansas was held at Topeka, convening at St. John A. M. E. church. The following officers were elected: M. W.

Washington returned to his Tuskegee school after delivering addresses in cities in Massachusetts, Malne, and New Jersey.

Discussing the gloomy outlook for a "white man's hope" in the pugilistic world, a London paper says: "We want a real good man, too, and we want him badly. With Sam McVey making an almost even break of it with Langford, the four top places must be readily conceded to the representatives of the colored race—Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey and Joe Jennette. Langford would appear, from the reports of his recent fight in Paris, to have been far below his usual form, and McVey is said to have appeared stale and overtimed." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Herein lies the hope of every nation and people since the world began. Because "The Sun of Righteousness" shines nations advance in learning, in science, in art, in invention, in exploration and discovery and in wealth. Every law is subservient to the great law of righteousness, and when nations or men forsake that law they come to the worst. The law of righteousness knows no color or caste, no social superiority or political inequality. It is the law for the government of all men, and "love is the fulfilling of" that "law." This unblessed law finds explanation in a few words: "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." This is the "righteousness of faith" and in this righteousness alone is the hope of the negro. The negro must not be allured into the belief that the salvation of the race is in the possession of houses and lands, or in education and social advancement. These are all important and are excellent as stepping-stones to self-respect, but unless he seeks righteousness, as a race he is doomed to utter failure. The words of Robert Burns concerning happiness will well apply in the case of the negro's hope: "Tis not in title, nor in rank, Tis not in wealth like London's Bank, To purchase peace and rest; If happiness has not her seat And center in the breast, We may be wise, or rich, or great, But never can be bleest." The negro must be an unright and loyal citizen because the King of Righteousness requires it; not a criminal evading the law, but an honest man, fearing God and "doing the will of Christ" as he knows it. He must even feel that "the laws which be are ordained of God," and that those who administer them are "ministers of God." In conformity to this requirement the negro's hope is sure. —Southern Ploughman. Do not forget the negro business man. The negro bank too should not be neglected — Colored Alabamian. Steps are being taken by a number of prominent citizens of Seattle, Wash., to obtain a Carnegie hero medal for Newton Johns, the colored bootblack, who at imminent risk of drowning saved the lives of eight people at the Colman Dock accident. Carnegie's secretary will be communicated with in connection with the matter immediately. Johns consistently refused to accept any remuneration for his heroic services, but his friends have insisted on giving a benefit for his aged mother, who is solely supported by her courageous son. The benefit will take place at Arcade Hall, the musical program being interspersed by a speech in which Johns will tell his own story of the tragedy. The hero will be introduced by Mayor George F. Cotterill. After the musical program is concluded the evening will be devoted to dancing. The fund raised will be turned over to the Seattle Commercial club, which will use it as a nucleus to build a home for Johns' aged parents. "A majority of our educated people should remain on the farm and lift up the home life of the masses in that place where they can be independent." —R. S. Lovinggood, President Sam Houston College, Austin, Tex. Every colored man nowadays is a supporter of race enterprise—with his mouth. We have right here in this city negro professional and tradesmen, keepers of shops, wares, etc., men playing at the game of business in a small way, and in large measure must depend upon their race for support, who never think of their duty to colored enterprise while they have money. If perchance their money gives out and they can secure something on credit from their brother in black, all well; otherwise nothing doing. This element of the colored race need to be pitted rather than abused, for notwithstanding many of them can read and write, they are fools and do not know it. Let us learn a lesson from the lower order of creation. Even the insects and the birds of passage have more sense than the average American negro.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Foro" 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 our hair begins to lose as the result of the "FORO," 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 fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prefers to remain in contact with them, for treatment. call on or address: MISS KATIE B.

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 "emancipation 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 effortry to try to justify their most reprehensible conduct, in this matter, by telling fantastic stories of an alleged attendance, etc., as if such, were it true, would justify that they have done to lower, the race in this community, in the matter of manly and womanly whites 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 quasi-public 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 upon 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's "Black Laws", years ago; to enact Ohio's Civil Rights and Ant-Lynching laws, are well-known to all of our people, particularly those here in Ohio. What it has also done, in hundreds of cases, to help and defend and encourage our people, is also well known. Personal interests have always been subordinated to those of our people. Its call to Afro-Americans, in season and out, is never to accept anything in the way of treatment, less than that due all citizens, and too, without reference to class or color. When it comes to our citizen-rights, here in 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 Passic theater because of her color, was upheld in the Supreme Court in an opinion filed by Justice Kallie July 22. The action was brought against the establishment 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 1894. 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. Bailley 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 many 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. THE DEAN OF THE AFRO-AMER: With the current issue The Gazette, published at Cleveland, Ohio, by Hon. Harry C. Smith, enters upon its 30th consecutive year of publication. In its headlines The Gazette declares its number of eminently worthy achievements all through the achievements efforts of its editor, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, as member of the Ohio Legislature. Our three month and half-year subscribers, who thus gingerly aid us and other similar Negro journals, will please note that some Negro publications can actually exist for 360 months.—Wagner (Oka.) American. A WHITE FRIEND WRITES "THE Madison, N. Y., 7-29-12. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Thanks for the marked copy of "The Old Reliable."

Brown of Zanesville for governor, at a meeting at Columbus of the Republican state central committee, eight members of that body, led by State Chairman Walter F. Brown and Secretary I. N. Foster resigned. Personal Grateful to it for having restored his appetite, "Diamond Jim" Brady of New York has given $220,000 to Johns Hopkins hospital.

President Taft sent to the senate the nomination of Jacob Schurman, president of Cornell university, to be minister from the United States to Greece and Montenegro. The United States senate passed the post office appropriation bill, carrying in the neighborhood of $160,000.000. The bill establishes a parcels post and also permits employees of the post office department to organize, provided they do not affiliate with any outside labor organization. Representative Theron E. Cattin of Missouri, Republican, was unseated as a member of the house of representatives and his Democratic opponent, who contested the election, Patrick F. Gill, was seated. The charge against Mr. Cattin was that he and his family had spent $10,200 to elect him to congress, when the Missouri law prohibited an expenditure by candidates of more than $662. Commissioner Davenport of the pension bureau is receiving hundreds of appeals from old soldiers for their pension checks. To as many as he can the commissioner is sending word that congress has appropriated no money as yet. It will before it adjourns. Constitutional amendment to provide one six-year term for the president and vice-president will be pushed for consideration in the senate at Washington. Prosperity spelled with a large "P" is rolling in from the farms and fields of the west, heralding big business for the merchant, the manufacturer and the railroads the country over. The report issued for August by the department of agriculture shows record crops that mean prosperity for the next twelve months. The Panama canal administration bill providing free passage to American ships, prohibiting railroad owned vessels from using the waterway and authorizing the establishment of a one-man government when the canal is completed, was passed by the U. S. senate by a vote of 47 to 15. Washington society, as well as the legal profession, is interested in the movement on foot to raise a $40,000 fund for the widow and daughters of the late Associate Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme court, who left his family practically penniless. . . . President Taft appointed, without the confirmation of the senate, Luther Conant, Jr., of New York as commissioner of corporations to succeed Herbert Knox Smith, resigned to join the Progressive party. Secretary of War Stinson will have full power to authorize Chicago to carry out the Burnham plan of beautifying the lake front if the senate approves an amendment to the general deficiency appropriation bill passed by the house. More than $5,000,000 damage was done to crops in the south last month by the army worms, according to unofficial estimates of the United States department of agriculture.

Politics *** THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. AUGUST 17. 1912 Student of British Museum Discovers it in Egypt. Figure Fourteen Feet High of Alabaster, Dug From Between the Colossi in Water-Logged Plain Cairo, Egypt — Another sphinx, weighing ninety tons, and carved from a single block of alabaster; has been unearthed at a point between the world-famed Colossi, on the waterlogged plains of Memphis, in Egypt. For hundreds of years it has lain in a recumbent position buried beneath the sands on the road to Sakarah. Today it is half-exposed to view, and next year it is to be raised to a vertical position above the water-line. This newly found sphinx was betrayed in its hiding place by its tail, which Mr. Mackay, one of the students of the British School in Egypt, discovered about a year ago. This year, when the water on the plain subsided, the complete figure was excavated, and was found to measure some fourteen feet in height and twenty-six feet in length. Alabaster being a rock foreign to the neighborhood, the new sphinx ranks as the largest that has ever been transported. The figure bears no inscription, but is considered by Prof. Flinders Petrie, the director of the British School in Egypt, to have been carved about 1300 B. C. Many other remarkable discoveries, taking the mind back as far as 5500 B. C., and lifting the veil of centuries from Egypt's romantic story, have also been made by the same school, and, with the exception of a red granite group of Rameses II and the god Ptah, which will be sent direct to the Ny Carlsh墓 Museum at Copenhagen, and a few other details, are now on exhibition at University College, Gower street. They include many objects new to Egyptologists. Among these are coffins made of basket work, reeds or withes, sandal trays, an axe handle, in which the grip is composed of delicately knotted string, a pot of unburnt incense for a fire-offering of 4000 B. C., and numerous pieces of timber, showing by their Coffin of Basket Work. formation the principles of building construction that were in vogue nearly 6000 years B. C. The graves of the early Egyptians were always well provided with such necessaries as were thought essential for the spirit of the departed when it again materialized. Consequently, the relics from Tankh inan include headrests (some of them carved out of trees trained specially into peculiar shapes), sandals, large jars of food, and various vessels of gypsum and semi-transparent alabastar. Some of the vases bear the name of Mena, the earliest known Egyptian king. They are considered by some experts to be a tribute corresponding to the modern floral wreath. Evidence is also provided of the lack of historical sentiment in the Roman occupants of Egypt by numerous examples of inscribed Egyptian tablets that have been used as hearth stones, door lintels, and mill stones. There is also ample evidence of the belief that sacrilege among the tombs was more common in the earlier periods of Egyptian history than in later periods. BAIT TEMPTING BUT WEAK French Curator Resists American's Attempts to Buy MS. of Town's Museum. Paris, France.—Apropos of the Doucet sale, a Paris contemporary relates the adventures of a rich American collector. He had heard of a twelfth century MS. preserved in the museum of a little town in the north of France. The collector hied to the town to purchase the treasure at any price. Shown the MS., which he admired, he addressed the curator: "To whom does it belong?" "To the town, monsleur." "And do you know its value?" "The value cannot be fixed, possibly 5,000 francs, but it is unique." "I will buy it. I will give you 100,000 francs." "But it is not for sale." "I will give you 150,000 francs. It will be a good thing for the town. You will never get such an offer again." The offer was declined, but the collector was not yet disheartened. "Now," said the latter, thinking to clinch the bargain, "I will give you, in addition, 10,000 francs, so that you may be able to get a copy made for the town." Despite the collector's generosity, no contract was entered into. CORSET COVER AS A NOOSE Woman Makes a Strange Rope With Which to Hang Herself in Newark. Asbury Park, N. J.—Making a noose of her coret cover, Annie Spellman, thirty years old, hanged herself in her room in the Ocean Grove home of J. F. Slattery of 50 Shanley street, Newark. She had come from Ireland less than a year ago. The muslin rope broke after she had been hanging for some time, and when her body fell to the floor the sound alarmed Mrs. Slattery, who ran to the room and found the woman dead. OLD MARSHALL HOMESTEAD House in North Manchester, Ind. Where Democratic Candidate for Vice-President Was Born. North Manchester, Ind.—Though it has withstood the storms of more than sixty years, and two bouts with the house movers, the little house in which Thomas R. Marshall, governor of Indiana, and Democratic candidate for vice-president, was born, stands today well to the north end of Walnut street, in North Manchester, Indiana, in a better state of preservation than many houses of half its age and experience. In 1854 the house stood on the lot fronting on Main street, that is now occupied by the Lawrence National bank, and was occupied by Dr. Daniel Marshall, who, besides doctoring the sick, was also a merchant of considerable importance, being connected Birthplace of Thomas R. Marshall. with his brothers in managing the biggest store of this locality at that time. As time went on they disposed of this store, and after the war broke out the doctor moved with his family to Pierceton, when the future governor was slightly over six years of age. Men who have grown gray remember Themas Marshall as a boy, but he was too young when his folks left for him to build a new home to take the place. The building in which he was moved from its first location to give room to a business building, and was occupied for several years by John H. Shively, but when he wanted to build a new home to take the place of the old building, it passed into new hands, being sold to Bart Krisher, son of D. W. Krisher. He moved it to its present location, made a few repairs, put on some fresh paint and the house is as neat and attractive in looks to day as many of the newer buildings around it. PRISONER, FREE, COMES BACK Workhouse Trusty Returns After Trip to Town for Supplies. St. Louis, Mo.—Alexander Hunter, who still had sixteen months of a workhouse sentence to serve, is pursuing a plan of behavior which will win for him probably an early parole. When the city authorities decided to turn Chesley island into a farm where nebriates could be kept, its superintendent, Calvin J. White, decided to send Hunter to the farm as a trusty to supervise the work. Hunter cheerfully accepted the task and began to build a fence. The posts having been put down, he found himself in need of a wire stretcher. Taking a boat, he rowed alone and unwatched down the river to Klimswick, but could not find what he wanted there. He then took a train, came to St. Louis, bought the wire stretcher and returned. "How in the world did you get here?" Superintendent White asked when he stepped off the car and went to the workhouse. "Came up on the train." Hunter answered. "What do you want?" White asked. Hunter explained and was returned the money he had spent for car fare. He went back to the island and now reports that he has most of the wire around the new stockade put up. Hunter was sentenced to a two years' term in the workhouse on four charges of larceny, six months on each count. HAS MARRIED 4,000 COUPLES Tennessee Minister Builds Hotel Especially for Eloping Couples. Bristol, Tenn.—Rev. Alfred Harrison Burroughs of Bristol, now in his eightieth year, has married 4,000 couples in the last twenty-three years. "I had no thought of making this a business," said the aged minister. "I was licensed to marry people many years ago, and when the first runaway couple sought me in 1889, I consented to marry them more as a matter of accommodation than anything else. "Some of my friends were present and witnessed the marriage. They complimented me and told me that I ought to make marrying a business. After that I did not decline to offer my services whenever a couple came my way. Month by month the business grew until I sometimes married from three to six couples a day." So rapidly did the minister's marrying business increase that he built a hotel designed especially to accommodate eloping couples. WOULD INSURE MOTHERS Ohio Man Thinks Wage-Earning Wives Would Welcome This Form of Policy. Massillon, Ohio.—Frederic Donahoe of this city, who believes that the loss of income incurred is the cause of many salary-earning wives shunning motherhood, has evolved a plan of insurance by which the women would be reimbursed. He has outlined his plan to several large insurance companies. This infancy disability insurance would be payable to the mother during the period she is incapacitated from pursuing her vocation. Donahoe cites the loss incurred by actresses and other professional women of large earning capacity as an argument for his plan. Rich Miss Gladys Bv BRYANT C. ROGERS "If his mother ever lose her money he can make his way," was often said of Fred Bingham, the rich Widow Bingham's son. And it was often added that Fred was a singular fellow. His mother was rich and he was singular. If she had had her way about it he would have been brought up as most rich men's sons and good deal of pampering and dawdling—a squeeze through some college a fashionable marriage and a useless he. He was started that way, but he rebelled. What he learned at college counted what he observed he remembered. Nature had given him a bent toward mechanics, and early in his career he had his tools and his workshop. Before he had reached his majority he had invented half a dozen things the world wanted. Soon after that came the downfall. It was discovered that the lawyer who was managing the rich widow's business for her had embuzzled a large sum of money—so large that she was no longer even moderately well off. There must be a great coming down to make ends meet on the small sum left. An estate all tangled up and not to be settled in the hands of a law firm, and Fred Bingham went forth to make his way almost bare handed. At the big machine shops of Whitney & Son, Boston, they had need of a handy man, and their advertisement brought Fred Bingham as an applicant. He modestly stated his capabilities in the mechanical line and was taken on. He was pleased in a way, and yet displeased. The elder Mr. Whitney liked his looks and modest demeanor and was friendly. The son James, about twenty-two years old, had been taken in as partner and given the office department to manage, because—because he was his father's son. Even the father could furnish no better excuse, unless it was the hope of steadying the young man down. When two young men meet for the first time it depends almost on the first glance whether they are to like each other or not. It was not necessary in this case that there should be friendship between the office and the shop. Fred Bingham would be treated as an employee, and he would cheerfully grant the respect due the office, but he found within two minutes that there would be an antagonism with the son. There was tyranny and domineering in young Whitney's every look and attitude. The applicant was a gentleman even if he handled tools. He had a solid education. He was an enthusiast in his work. He had a way that commanded respect, even though it brought antagonism with it. "That fellow needs a trimming down and it will be up to me to do it," whispered young Whitney to himself as the caller left the office. "I see my finish here in a month if the son has his say about it," said young Bingham to himself, as he walked away to find a boarding place. Fred Bingham found a temporary home in a suburb within stone's throw of his employer's grand mansion, and when he gave in his address at the office he was met with the sneering remark from young Whitney: "I wonder that you didn't buy a $20,000 residence out there and arrange to come down to the works in your own auto!" No reply was made to this. It was sufficient to start a quarrel on of what use? Fred Bingham was pleased to get a position in a big shop where he could fairly try himself out and meet the many problems that would arise. In a fortnight the elder Whitney was saying of him: "I declare, James, we've got a real genius in Bingham." "Oh, I don't know," was the reply. "That's because you don't go through the shops. All the men are talking about him. He has improved some of the machines so that we get a quarter more work out of them. He'll save us five times his salary inside a year." The son replied with a grunt of disbelief, and there the matter dropped. On the third Sunday of his stay Fred Bingham attended Sunday services at a humble little church, and was ushered into a pew in which a young lady sat alone. There was congregational singing, and as they rose she offered him the half of her hymn book and they sang together. If any one had asked Fred as he walked homeward if the young lady, who had been so courteous, were handsome or homely he would not have told. He would have admitted, however, that her voice had charmed him. On the following morning, as Fred GO EASY ON HEALTH FADS Trouble Is That They Cannot Be Made to Suit the Physical Make-Up of All People. Cleveland is the home of the newest fad. The Ohio city has a "Keep Well" club composed of persons who believe in restricting indulgence in food. They fast now and then from a week to a month. One apostle of the cult declares he has found abounding health in a diet of eight quarts of milk daily for eight months. It may be that this foodless life is beneficial to some Clevelanders. It is probably also true that many people in other cities—perhaps even some in Detroit—eat too much, particularly in the summer time. But it is equally probable that many imitators of the cult will starve themselves beyond the endurance point of weak hearts and so commit virtual suicide. It is just at this point that so many health, beauty, and nostrum fads become so deadly and so damaging. Every well-informed person knows that a wise medical practitioner when left his boarding house to take the car to his work he found an auto standing in the streets in a helpless condition. The chauffer was under it searching for the cause, and a young woman with a rexed look on her face was standing by. As Fred approached she smiled and bowed. A sort if instinct told him she was the one of the pew. With a flushed face, he lifted his cap and advanced and said: "I beg your pardon but perhaps I can be of assistance?" "If you only could," she replied, "It has 'gone dead' just when I wanted speed the worst." A minute later he turned to her with a laugh and said: "They are improving these machines all the time, but they haven't turned out one yet that will run without gasoline. There's none in the tank. Good morning." Miss Gladys Humphreys was an orphan, living with her aunt, and accounted one of the wealthiest girls in Boston. A dozen gallants, including young Whitney, were on her list of sultors, and gossip said that the latter was the favored one so far. She and Fred Bingham had not exchanged names. A week after the auto incident, and at an evening hour this time, Mr. Bingham was sauntering about the neighborhood smoking his cigar. The streets were very quiet, but as he passed a fine mansion, the front door of which stood open, he heard a woman scream. In a moment he was hurried the gate and up the steps and in the hall he found two tough-looking young men, each having a bundle under his arm, fighting to free themselves from the grasp of a young woman. Fred Bingham took a hand in the game at once, and it was bad for the sneak thieves who had entered the house during the dinner hour, and had been discovered just as they were making their exit. It was only when the fellows had been turned over to the police that Fred felt sure of the identity of the damsel in distress. It was the rich Miss Gladys, and that was the house of her aunt. The affair had tried her nerves, but not so greatly that an introduction was not made and Mr. Bingham effusively thanked for his services and invited to cal. He waited two or three evenings before so doing, and one of these evenings a call was made by James Whitney. The matter of the attempted robbery came up, and as soon as he heard the name of Fred Bingham he replied: "Why. I know him. He is one of the workmen at the shops." "But a gentleman as well, and a brave man," said the girl. "I didn't know he went about playing the gentleman after working hours." "It seems to come perfectly natural to him." The next morning the elder Whitney left for the west on business, and at noon the younger called Fred into the office and fired him pointblank, notwithstanding a contract, and further said to him: "A lot of cheek, you've got, to force the acquaintanceship of such a lady as Miss Humphrey. Better drop that at once, if you don't want trouble with me." Fred Bingham reached out and caught the other's nose between thumb and finger, and after holding it for a few seconds let go and walked out. That evening he called on the rich Miss Gladys, and she insisted that it be a visit. She wanted to know many things, and she made the young man talk, and by and by she said: "I am the second largest stockholder in the Barrett Iron Works and we need you there." A month later, when the elder Whitney returned and found his mechanical genius gone he threw up his hands and exclaimed: "Gone to our strongest rival, and that means a loss of $10,000 a year to us!" "He was getting in my way socially," was the sullen reply. "Why, you idiot, he'll marry that Humphrey girl within a year, and within two she'll buy out the rest of the stockholders and hand him the business!"

England's Last Tollgate The distinction of being the last tollgate in England is now claimed by a gate in the Cambridgeshire Fens, one and a half miles from Chatteris, on the main road to Somersham. The gate stands in the middle of a section of about two hundred yards, once privately owned, and was erected over two hundred years ago. It was eventually purchased by a London company for $10,000.
