Dress is most aluring this season, and there is such variety in style that not only every taste but every individual figure can be suited. Black and violet as regards dress for reception and every afternoon wear is a fashionable alliance, and we note it principally in taffetas and satin costumes, while with the black cloth or eponge tailor-made a blouse of bright velvet charmeuse and gulpure insertion velled with black ninon de soie is a fitting accompaniment. The mauve foulard with black or mauve ninon overskirt is being exploited with success, as is the pannier coat costume of black and deep purple Liberty satin. A charming model of this style has the coat gathered at the waist, with belt coming high in front and made of exquisite black, purple and ecu embroidery. This continues in band form on either side of the coat fronts, while the bodice portion is arranged in wide pleats, and the pearl-shaped sleeves reach only a little way below the elbow. IN OLD ROSE. Here is quite an inexpensive dress of old rose casement cloth. The skirt has a seam up center front and is trimmed with a fold of black satin and a row of black buttons with simulated holes. The bodice, which is cut Magyar, is tucked each side front and back, also on the sleeves; it fastens in front, where it is trimmed like the skirt. The collar is of the material finely tucked, and a black bow finishes the neck. Hat of cream Tagel, trimmed with lace and roses. Materials required: Four yards 40 inches wide, one-half yard satin on the cross, about four dozen buttons. The Corsage Bouquet. The corsage bouquet is one of the prettiest fancies in dress ornamentation. On special occasions, when one wishes the austerity tallor-built costume to take on a glorified and festal air, a modish flower arrangement pinned to the coat front will work a very pretty miracle. The most fashionable of these artificial posies is a combination of orchids with lilies of the valley, or, If the bouquet is of violets or roses, sprays of lily of the valley must be tucked in.

AVOID THE COLORED FROCK Average Woman Will Make No Mistake When She Pins Her Faith to White Material. The woman of limited income should not be tempted by colored linen frocks. They are not a wise investment when gowns must necessarily be few in number. They are almost sure to fade, and even while they possess all their original glory they cannot be touched up and varied by colored cravat and belt, as the white outfit can. Such is the imperishable beauty of white that even the inexpensive material known as sailcloth, which can be bought for about 30 cents a yard, can be made to look smarter than the average colored linen. Those venturing upon costumes of sailcloth should, however, to make assurance doubly sure, see that the material has been well shrunk before it is made up. Now the "June Pantalon" The latest thing in tailormades is the "jue pantaion" that it has little in common, the "jue pantaio" or harme nament, except that the bottom of the trousers, and the "jue pantaion" gives us the top of the same garments. It is a skirt with a series of little close gatherings at the waist. These are confined by small buckles similar to the one used on a man's trousers. At each side of the skirt is a pocket, and in order to complete the resemblance to masculine wearing apparel, braces fastened by buttons back and front hold up the skirt. With this garment is worn a shirt of white percale, perfectly flat and plain, with long sleeves, wristlets and a high stiff collar, in fact a man's shirt in all its unadorned severity. The wearers of the "jue pantaion" costume when sitting around their clubs, smoking cigarettes, look at first sight like men in their shirt sleeves. Collarless Frocks The girl who realizes how extremely becoming the collarless frock has proved to be will be glad to learn of its continued popularity. For this reason the high-neck ruffles and ruches of tuleh, chiffon and taffeta, with their small clusters of flowers set at intervals around the collar, will be worn when furs are discarded and it is necessary to have some protection. If one chooses to wear a collar band, it must be unusually high. In models from Paris the high collar are shaped to follow the outline of the hair back of the ears. The little pleated frill, so dear to the French woman, makes a soft be coming line around the face. Plush for Winter Hats. Hatters' plush is expected to be used on many of the new fall hats, and beaver cloth will doubtless be seen on the tailored hat. This cloth will probably be popular with the business women, as it wears so well, and a hat of beaver looks trim and neat to wear with a tailored suit. Dresden taffeta will be much used for trimming, especially in the way of large bows. For the Small Boy. One of the prettiest novelties tute season is the suit of brown linen for small boys. These are embroidered with silk to match. Sailcloth is a practical material; it launders well, holding its color. For warm weather these are made with knickerbockers and tunic tops caught about the waist with a belt. Dark blue sailcloth linen with collars and cuffs of white is another pretty combination. Ribbed Fabrics It is said on good authority that corded weaves will be very popular in the autumn. These new ribbed fabrics will include materials so light in weight as to be suitable for dress draperies and heavier ones adapted for suits, outer wraps and trimmings.

The session lasted for eight days, adjourning November 7, because of the approach of federal troops, to meet in New Madrid in March, 1862. The meeting at New Madrid was never held, however. At the meeting of the legislature Miles Vernon of Lacute county presided, he being named for the place by M. C. Goodlet of Johnson county. John T. Crisp of Jackson county was secretary; John T. Tracy of Cole county, assistant secretary; James McCoun of Johnson county, enrolling clerk, and M. R. Johnson, sergeant at arms, Charles H.

A meeting of the legislature was also held at Pineville but no record was kept of what was done at that meeting. During the meeting of the legislature the command of Gen. Sterling Price was stationed on Fort Hill, on which is now located the Cassville high school building. The old courthouse is, perhaps, the oldest one in the state, having been constructed in 1854. TO CUT NOTED TREES saving little Loretta Baina from sure death under the engine of a shifting engine at the R. D. Wood iron foundries, where he is employed. Horner was riding on the footboard at the front of the engine when he saw the child just ahead on the tracks apparently rooted to the spot in her terror. By a powerful dash he outdistanced the engine, and reaching the frightened child tossed her from the track. At the same instant his feet slipped and he tumbled head first between the rails. Unable even with the emergency brakes to instantly stop the heavy train, the engineer saw Horner rolled under the footboard, which in a shifting engine replaces the cowcatcher, and as he brought the train to a standstill, dropped in terror from the cab, expecting to find the young hero mangled beneath the wheels. Horner was far from dead, however. By a deft movement, as the locomotive rolled him over and over, he had managed to grab the running board, and with his body dragged beneath the trucks he held on as the engine bumped him over the ties. When they extricated him fellow workmen found his legs badly lacerated and his ankles sprained, but aside from these injuries, which Horner mourns because they will keep him from the baseball diamond for several weeks, he was unhurt. Virtue Employs Unique Method to Operate Typewriter. St. Paul—Ephile Gladys Virtue, a crippled young woman of this city, has just completed writing a book. The book is a novel and contains 175 pages. The fact that she has written the book is not so remarkable as is the manner in which she did the work. Miss Virtue has always been a cripple and never attended school. She does her writing entirely upon a typewriter, and with her toes. Holding a pencil between her toes, she strikes the typewriter keys, and it is said her work is remarkably rapid. KANSAS WOMEN BUILD ROAD Break Rock With Sledge Hammers and Unload Road Material for Indifferent Men. Leana. Kan—Women welded sledge hammers to break rock for the building of 800 feet of roadway here. Undaunted by the refusal of the men of the town to take up the work of building the thoroughfare, the women enlisted the aid of small boys and unemployed men of neighboring towns, paying the visitors for their work out of their "allowances." A number of the women also put on "jumpers" and helped unload wagons containing the road material obtained in the vicinity. "Beef And" Is the Real Test Bowery Character Explains to Sympathetic Judge How He Was Imposed Upon in Fifth Avenue. New York.—The answer to the question, "When is a restaurant not a restaurant?" according to no less an authority than John Owens of Chatham Square and the Bowery, is, "When it does not serve beef and," "Beef and," in the language of Park Row and the lower East Side, invariably means a plate of corned beef and beans, the staple price of which in the fashionable refectories of that part of the city is 15 cents, although in less pretentious establishments it is served for a dime. Mr. Owens is considered a man of parts in his own vicinity, where muscle rather than wealth gauges a man's standing. Yielding to the desire for a change of scene which comes to most persons at this vacation season, Mr. Owens a few evening since wandered northward as far as Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street. Just as he was passing the most gilded of the fashionable upto bottoms the pangs of hunger assailed him, and entering the restaurant, which was crowded with diners in evening dress, he ordered his favorite dish. The waiter's education evidently had been neglected, for he never heard of "beef and" and referred the worthy Mr. Owens to the menu, an apperturement of dining with which that gentleman was wholly unfamiliar. To John, however, it was inconceivable that any place called a restaurant should fall to provide the most staple of all dishes, and he proceeded to demand his rights, em- COURTHOUSE TO GO Old County Building at Cassville, Mo., to Be Replaced. In Old Edifice, Subsequently Captured by Federalis, the State Seceded From the Union—Was Built in 1854. Cassville, Mo.—By voting bonds for $40,000 to which will be added a bonus of $10,000 collected by the citizens of Cassville, Barry county is to have a new courthouse and the old building, which is a relic of the Civil war will pass into history. The old courthouse, which was a two-story brick building, was used by both the Union and Confederate armies. Had the fight not been so warm in this section the Confederates might have claimed it by right of discovery, for they were the first to occupy it. The building was first used by the Confederates as a meeting place for the legislature which was convened here October 31, 1861, after being driven out of Neosho by the approach of the federal army. It was at this session the state was seceded from the Union and much other important business was transacted. The articles of secession were written and introduced by the late Senator George Graham Vest. The meeting was attended by seventy-seven members. W. S. McConnell, the member of the legislature from this county, being forced to attend to make the quorum. Mr. McConnell's refusal to attend at first, was because of the fear of the federal troops and sympathizers who were in this country in great numbers. Gov. Clalborne F. Jackson, who was elected governor in 1860, was at the meeting and after the acts of secession were passed made a speech from the south door of the old courthouse informing the people of the action of the legislature and notifying the people that they then composed a part of the Southern Confederacy. Senator Vest also delivered an address. After the speaking and jollification the appointments of Maj. Gen. Ster- At This Place the Great Federalist's Seconds Met to Make Plans for His Fatal Duel With Aaron Burr. New York.—The announcement that the three tall sycamore trees which stand in a vacant lot at West One Hundred and Fortieth street and Hamilton place, Manhattan, were about to be cut down to make room for a public school, which is to be erected on the lot, has aroused much interest among New Yorkers, especially those who are familiar with the historic associations which these trees of the forest recall. It is stated on good authority that it was under these trees that the seconds for Alexander Hamilton met before the fatal duel which resulted in the death of Hamilton on July 12, 1804. Whether they are the actual trees under which the seconds met before the fatal encounter occurred, they have a historic value from the fact that they are on territory which was intimately associated with the great statesman, lawyer and soldier. An interesting fact connected with the house when it stood on the other side of the street is that Hamilton planted 13 trees around this house, which were intended to represent the 13 original states of the American Union. These trees were of the sweet gum variety and were brought by Hamilton, when they were nothing more than whips, from Mount Vernon, the estate of President Washington. These trees lived until long after the house was moved, and some of them were alive when, in November, 1911, the lots where they stood were taken as the site for a row of apartment houses. The ground along Convent avenue had been restricted for 25 years. When these restrictions expired the trees planted by Hamilton himself quickly disappeared. The removal of these trees rendered those at One Hundred and Fortieth street and Hamilton place all the more precious in the eyes of antiquarians and patriotic citizens, who treasure every reminder of Hamilton. The ground slopes sharply from the point where the old trees are standing to the shores of the Hudson. The rear porch of Hamilton's house must have commanded a beautiful view of the Weehawken shore, much wilder in appearance than now. It was early in July that the challenge from Burr was received, and it was the morning of the 12th of that month that the arrangements were completed and Hamilton and his seconds took a barge and were rowed across the Hudson to the fatal battleground.

RAIL HEAD WORKS IN MUD W. C. Hurst of Bluff Railway Directs Laborers and None Know His Identity. St. Louis, Mo.—Superintendent W. C. Hurst of the Bluff line passed three days in overalls and up to his shoe tops in mud with the crews, working to clear the track in the vicinity of Alton, and none of the big crew of workmen knew that the superintendent of the road was among them. Mr. Hurst was in the ticket office with his rough clothes on when a young man came to the window and shouted: "What's the name of the guy who is superintendent of this railroad?" "W. C. Hurst," answered the official, and the young man wrote the name on an envelope and went on to mail a letter, probably asking for a position from the very man to whom he shouted.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The editor recently spent some time inspecting the class work of two great institutions, the University of Wisconsin and Tuskegee Institute, the famous school established by Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., for the education of negroes, and in which all the teaching is done by negroes. In many of their features the two institutions present striking contrasts, but perhaps in no respect do they differ more widely than in the quality of the teaching; and in this respect the negro school has a very decided advantage. The skill shown by the teachers at Tuskegee is incomparably greater than that of the teaching force at the University of Wisconsin. At Tuskegee, when a student recies he stands erect, and says something that has a definite beginning, aim and end; and he makes his statements without interference or help from the teacher. Then he is quizzed by the other students. At Madison, the students do not stand to recite, and many of them do not sit; they loll or loaf in a half reclining position. As a rule, if any recitations are made they are read from the note book in the hand of the student, but most of the alleged recitation work is done on the co-operative plan; the teacher and the student collaborate to produce a result, the student's contribution to which in many cases is limited to "yes" or "no," or at best consists of finishing out a sentence which the teacher has almost completed, the teacher not infrequently responding with approval "eg-zacktly," or "very good." When a student begins a recitation de novo—a rare occurrence he usually introduces it with "Why" or "Well," and often closes with the rising inflection—American Journal of Education. Problems of home life, the needs of the negro in rural communities, health and better school facilities were discussed at the sixteenth annual session of the Hampton Negro conference. The conference was called to order by Maj. R. R. Moton. Jackson Davis, supervisor of negro rural schools in Virginia, said that in 18 counties of the state the school term was lengthened one month one year, and nine new buildings erected. $13,744.16 raised by the colored people in these counties to aid in the support of their schools during the year. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones gave a review of facts culled from the recent census. Prof. J. M. Gandy of the Negro Organizing society, stated that 32,228 of the 48,114 negro farm operators in Virginia own 2,228,220 acres. He said that improved methods would make the colored farmers realize as much as white farmers. In speaking of the rush of the negroes to the cities, Dr. George E. Haynes of Fisk university gave the following causes: Divorce of the negro from the soil; growth of commercial and industrial centers; legislation affecting city and urban conditions; relations of landlord and tenant; influence of employment agents; exaggerated stories; restlessness. The part that the colored minister can play in racial uplift was discussed at length. M. W. Reddick, Americus, Ga.; Dr. J. J. France, Portsmouth, Va.; Mrs. G. W. Cook, Washington; Mrs. Butler Wilson, Boston; C. G. Spalding, Durham, N. C.; the Rev. A. A. Graham, Phoebus, Va.; W. T. B. William, and Capt. Allan Washington were among others who took part in the discussion. A very suggestive article on the race problem in South Africa was recently published in the Empire Review, a British publication of wide colonial circulation. The article was written by Mr. Henry Smith, who says in part: "The racial problems of South Africa are rapidly assuming gigantic proportions and every fact which comes to light indicates that the Britton and Boer will now have to decide upon a definite course of action in regard to the future of the country. For many years we have witnessed the growth of the colored population and the decrease of the white races. South Africa is becoming blacker and browner every year. The disproportion between the white and the colored races is increasing every year. If the Union of South Africa goes forward exactly as it has during the last seven years it will fifty years hence contain roughly 3,000,000 whites and 12,000,000 colored people. If we take all British South Africa and not merely the Union the preponderance will be far more overwhelming." Man can build a house, but only a woman can make it a home for him. The colored National Democratic league, represented by fifty-five delegates, was in session at Baltimore during the national Democratic convention. The league is said to represent 100,000 colored voters organized into twenty-nine clubs. The effectiveness of these votes will be measured, of course, by their geographical locations. All Saints Episcopal church (colored) of St. Louis recently gave an offering of $50 to help liquidate the indebtedness of a white church. Because the bureau of census at Washington insisted that mulattoes be enumerated in the last census there has been a genealogical mix-up, the negro being the loser from a numerical standpoint. Investigations show that the statistics just issued for publication by the department of commerce and labor class thousands of negroes with what has been officially designated as "foreign or mixed parentage." Had the bureau of census designated all of African descent under the heading of "Negro" figures would show that negroes constitute a much larger percentage of population. For instance, Greater New York is put down as having a negro population of 91,709, when all told, there are at least 100,000 citizens of color in the various boroughs. The census people claim that there are 22,000 negroes in Brooklyn, although it was conceded by those familiar with the population of this city that from 27,000 to 30,000 negroes reside across the bridge. The census bureau in its statistics specifies the country's population under the following divisions: "Native parentages," "foreign or mixed parentages," "foreign born whites," "negroes," and "all other." thousands of citizens in the state of New York and throughout the country have been classed under "foreign or mixed parentage," because mulattoes were enumerated, when they should have been put down as negroes. The opinion of the census bureau of what was a negro and what was a mulatto was very confusing and caused thousands of negroes who were not mulattoes to class themselves as such. The census bureau's instructions were that the term black included all negroes of full blood, and that the term mulatto included all not of full blood, but who had a perceptible trace of negro blood. Hundreds and hundreds of negroes who were not black, neither were they mulattoes, classed themselves as citizens of mixed parentage, being so confused by the complex instructions of the census bureau. Therefore, in the mentioning of these negroes, they are put in the "foreign or mixed parentage" class.—New York Age. By will of Catherine Simons, a colored woman who spent most of her life as a cook, several Boston institutions are to receive bequests from her estate of $5,000. The will leaves $500 to St. Monica's Home for Sick Colored Women and Children of Boston, $500 to the Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest Episcopal church in this city. There are small bequests, $500 to the Home for Aged Colored Women in Boston, $500 to St. Augustine's church, Boston, $500 to Woodland cemetery in Everett, Mass, and to relatives. The residue is left in trust with ex-Gov. Frank B. Weeks of this city, the income to be devoted to charitable purposes at his discretion. Miss Simons in her early days was a slave. She worked as a domestic for many years in the homes of Middle-town families. In Boston she was cared for during her last days by friends. She did much for the poor of her race. Distant relatives are making a contest on the ground that she was of unsound mind. All the indications point to a bumper cotton crop for this year. This item of news is second in importance only to the paramount and cheering fact that the watermelon crop is all that could be desired, and the country, therefore, is safe! On with the dance, let joy be unconfined! Now that Champion Jack Johnson has blighted another "white hope," and thereby inflated his own bank account, he has opened up a cafe in Chicago, whose fixtures and appointments cost something like $50,000. Running a cafe as a side line seems to have long been a manta with prize fighters. Nine-tenths of the ring masters have tried it—and come to grief. It is predicted that in going into that line himself, Lil' Arthur has established a "rat hole" which in time will devour more money than he can make. However, when the game is over, John will have the consolation of reflecting, "I have had my fling." There will be no color line drawn at the cafe, but it is doifully its negro patrons will be very numerous. Everything is so fine and costly that it would bankrupt even a well-to-do neo to leiter around there for a day or two. We can't stay there an hour—Old Hickory. No one has ever yet strained their back muscles breaking bad habits. Only silly bachelors joke about marriage. Perhaps you once were the "underdog," the "downtrodden race," but now you stand forth in the glorious light of liberty and all indications are that some of you will triumph, rising superior and dominant in the possession of all that goes to make a people honored and blessed. We are not prophets, we have only a vague idea of the millionen, but our hopefulness and belief in the courage and ability of our people, cause us to take this optimistic view of present tendencies.

Blackstone Building, Cleveland, O. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Elsewhere in this paper will be found the announcement of the death of Rev. B. H. Lee of Allegheny, Pa., for many years one of the leading and best known A. M. E. clergymen in this state and section of the country. Rev. Lee was as loyal to his people as he was to his family, church and God, and one of the very best men the race has produced. From the earliest days of The Gazette of the day of his death, he was one of its most loyal and active friends and supporters. In common with his widow and family, we sincerely mourn the loss of our long-time and good friend. They will please accept our heartfelt sympathy in this, their greatest loss. According to the 1910 census, the four largest Ohio cities have the following number of Afro-American residents: Cleveland, 8,738; Cincinnati, 19,669; Columbus, 12,800; Springfield, 4,945. These figures, as far as Cleveland is concerned, are simply ridiculous. There are 20,000 Afro-Americans in this city, if there is one. Eight or ten thousand of them can be gathered together in any one place, within the confines of this city, without hardly being missed by the others. There are more than 9,000 Afro-Americans directly or indirectly connected with our eleven or twelve churches and four or five missions. Prof. M. M. Curtiss, of this city, who had charged of the 1910 census work in this vicinity, ought to "try again." THE REAL "NEW SOUTH"! In spite of the thousands of protests from all parts of the country, Gov. Mann of Virginia, on last Friday, permitted Virginia Christian, the seventeen-year-old, half-witted girl of the race, to be electrocuted. Dispatches to the daily newspapers, say that the child did not seem to realize what was about to take place. Another outrage to the discredit of the "Old Dominion." About the time the above was taking place, nearly one hundred armed, white brutes invaded the court-house at Columbus, Ga., cowed the judge and other officials, seized a sixteen-year-old boy of the race, who had just been convicted and sentenced for manslaughter, carried him to the section of the city most thickly populated by our people, and shot him to death. Hundreds of bullets were fired into the lad's body, which was literally cut to pieces by them. The lynch-murders did not even mask themselves, many being recognized. The above are but two of many such acts of lawlessness that have taken place in the "South" in recent weeks and are the very best indications of the true conditions existing in the "New South," as far as our people are concerned. Lawlessness is even more rampant, today, than at almost any time since the days of re-construction. And there are those, even members of our race, who urge our people to settle in the Southland and who tell us that our best friends are to be found there. Further comment unnecessary. NOT NEAR THE SUCCESS ANTICI PATED. An employee of the Luna Park office says that the Aug. 1 "celebration" had many less people in attendance than it had last year; that 2500 people largely from out of the city, is a generous estimate of the attendance upon the alleged emancipation celebration of that date; and that the swimming pool was covered and closed to our people on that day, just as it always has been on such occasions in the past. Very little, if anything was made by the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, this year, as a result of that most unfortunate affair. Stay away from Luna Park as long as they discriminate against our people as they do. It will be time enough to go there when they open their dance hall, skating rink and swimming pool to our people, as well as all other pleasures and amusements on the grounds just as they do to representatives of all other classes who go to that resort. A few Civil Rights' suits against the Luna Park management would make them do this. The protest of The Gazzette for weeks prior to Aug. 1, with that of our local Ministers' Alliance and the City Federation of Women's clubs, which culminated in the splendid mass meeting held at Cory M. E. church just prior to Aug. 1, were not in vain, but, on the contrary, were most successful indeed in that they kept hundreds, if not thousands of our people, of this community from Luna Park, that day. These people have the satisfaction of knowing that they not only refused to lower their self and race respect, their manhood or womanhood on that day, but that they also refused to enrich, to a greater or less extent, a park management that insults and discriminates against our people in public places by denying them the free exercise of their citizen rights, in the places mentioned, if not others on the grounds. The bottom has fallen out of the silly claim of an exceptionally large attendance, etc., made immediately after the day alleged emancipation celebration was held by the organization that promoted it. MUST VOTE FOR PROPOSAL, NO. 24. Ohio will vote on its new constitution, Sept. 3, Proposal, No. 24 provides for the elimination of the word "white" from the constitution of the state. Regardless of all other proposals, amending the old constitution and creating a new one for Ohio, to be voted on, on Sept. 3, Afro-American voters of this state MUST CAST THEIR VOTES FOR PROPOSAL, No. 24, notwithstanding the fact that Proposal, No. 23, providing for women's suffrage, also provides for the elimination of the word "white" from the state constitution. The Afro-Americanican voter, who favors women's suffrage, and wishes to vote for Proposal No. 23, providing for the same, MUST Hon. David Cunningham. NOT FAIL TO VOTE ALSO FOR PROPOSAL, No. 24. We cannot impress this too strongly upon all, because, if the word "white" is to be eliminated from the state constitution, every Afro-American voter in Ohio, on Sept. 3, MUST VOTE FOR PROPOSAL, No. 24, regardless of whatever else he may do. Do not be misled into believing that voting for Proposal, No. 23 is sufficient; BECAUSE IT IS NOT! Therefore, let every Afro-American voter in the state of Ohio register, so he can vote "Yes" on Sept. 3, on Proposal, No. 24, and also see to it that every other voter, a friend of the race in his community, whom he can approach relative to the matter, does so, also. THERE MUST BE NO DIVISION IN OUR VOTE WHEN IT COMES TO PROPOSAL, No. 24. Allow no one to even try to make you believe that anything but our SOLID vote for Proposal, No. 24 will do. WE MUST VOTE UNITEDLY FOR IT, or it will fail to carry at the special election Sept. 3. PASS THE WORD ALONG! OUR THIRTIETH YEAR! GENUINE BARGAIN.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1912 THE DESERTED NEGRO. Mr. Roosevelt and his way in Chicago. Despite the protests of Jane Addams and many others, the party of "progress," which bases its hopes for success on its programme of social justice, committed the injustice of throwing out the Negro delegates from the South, declaring for a "lily-white" policy there, and adopted its platform without a single reference of any kind to the Colored man. The terrible injustice done him the country over; the denial of civic and political rights; the practically complete distranchissement in the South—all of these things were forgotten because the apostle of justice himself hopes, with what Jane Addams herself called "statesmanlike (1) policy," to break up the Solid South. So the Negroes, even those who worked for Roosevelt in the Taft Convention, were fung aslide—just as would fling aslide any body or set of hands to the ground to do so. The Jews, themselves, to whom he has toadled and whom he has flattered by high appointments, he would discard as readily as he has Mr. Tatt, Mr. Root, and his other tried friends and Cabinet associates, should there be political profit to be gained by taking an anti-Semitic position. If there is any one group of men and women in the country suffering from oppression, should they be given a party of social justice is to think only of wrongs done to whites!—N. Y Evening Post editorial. JEANNETTE WON! New York City — Jack Jeannette, the challenger of Jack Johnson, knocked out Jeff Madden (white) in the second round of the final bout at the Garden A.

The Cleveland Gazette, one of the greatest race newspapers in this country, has reached the thirtieth year of its existence. It is a great thing for Negroes when they can lay claim to possessing such a brave and loyal champion of the race and we rejoice with him and his hosts of friends in the natural rejoicing which is his and theirs as a result of The Gazette's thirtieth birthday. During all of this long time Mr. Smith has had many trials that would have utterly discouraged a man with a less determined nature than he, but through them all, he has presented an apparent challenge, he ploys until now he is a permanent fixture and a power in the community where he lives. In truth, Harry Smith is a household topic in Cleveland, and well might he be, for he is always on the firing line, where he is invariably found shooting his literary shafts into the enemy and criticising, when necessary, in the reigning of criticism. In conclusion, let us say, that we esteem Editor Smith as a brother, and know not his superior as a man—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. Are You in Arrears on your subscription?

The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that, when the hair begins to "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 fact that hair in an uns sanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with it.

With its issue of July 27 The Cleveland Gazette entered upon the thirteenth year of its continuous publication and all this time under the management of its redoubtable editor Harry C. Smith. No one who has not had newspaper experience can form any conception of the amount of self-reliance that he has seen in this long record. In season and out of season he has always contended for equal manhood rights for the race, and while he has accomplished much and was successful in having a civil rights law and an anti-lynching law enacted for Ohio, we do not be lieve his efforts are appreciated at one-fourth of their true value. We say this because of his bravery in hecking him to assist him in increasing his list of subscribers—doubling the same—so that he may large the paper. The Gazette has done more to advertise Cleveland with the race than any other agency, and the one suggests the other. There should be no necessity for an appeal and we hope that he may be spared for many more years of usefulness. We may be rewarded by making The Gazette all he desires it to be—Oakland (Cal.) Outlook. MANY FAKES WITH BEES Nonswarming Hives Are Delusion, Pure and Simple—"Shook Swarm" Plan Is Described. Most of the so-called nonswarming hives are fakes pure and simple. The very last word on the subject is that of the "shook swarm" plan, that enables the beekeeper to swarm each hive artificially at his convenience and not that of the bees. This is the best method in vogue and is really very simple. Dr. D. Everett Lyon explains the process in the Farm and Home: When a hive gives evidence that it is thinking about swarming, as seen in the bees clustering on the outside of the hive and the presence of queen cells started in the brood nest, it is time to shake them. Take an empty hive with lid and bottom board in place and with the frames of the hive containing strips of foundation wax in place as full combs. Place the empty hive alongside the one about to swarm and then, lifting the brood frames from the old hive, shake off from each frame almost all the bees until all the frames have been so shaken in front of the new hive, being sure to shake the queen along with the bees. Then set the old hive with its brood nest off some distance and put the new hive with the bees in its place. Pe sure to take all the storage chambers from the old hive and place them on the new hive into which the bees have been shaken. The working force is with the new hive and that's where we want the storage chambers, which will be quickly filled, as the bees, having only started strips of wax in the brood combs, must, of necessity, store the honey coming in the next few days in the upper stories until such time as they will get the starters drawn out into full combs.

A few of our young men of the city, realizing the great need of something in the nature of a social center for the young men of the city, met in St. Andrew's Episcopal church, a little less than a year ago, and organized a club which they called the Union Club of St. Andrew. From a group of twelve men, it has steadily grown the club of our young men. The question of a club home, and how it should be supported contended the men. They were finally able to secure a small house in the rear of the Episcopal church on Central'Ave. The interior was remodeled, redecorated and furnished at an expense exceeding $200. With its reception room, plano, bookase, pool table, and mission furniture, secretary's room, bath, well appointed dining room, the court of which our young men of the city ought to well be prent. The club has been able to maintain itself up to the present time. The members believe that a great futures lies before it. While the quarters are small and without all the attractions that appeal to the young men of today, such as gymnasium, reading rooms, etc., yet it hopes for a larger and more convenient place in the near future. the club has friends who understand the young men of Cleveland must feel that they merit whatever aid is given them by showing their interest in this organization. There is no reason why the Union Club should not enroll 200 active members of character. Young men! you have asked for something! You are still asking! It is right here! Will you take advantage of it? The club intends to make its winter season especially interesting. Sunday afternoons will be given to our own constituent citizens. Musical programs will also be a treat, under the direction of Chas. S. Hackley and Attorney C. S. Sutton. You will receive a treat well worth your while. a gymnasium class is being organized by F. O.

Johnson Tarrer contributed to the club's furnishings. Membership blanks can be obtained from any of our members. We invite our men to visit the club rooms. They are open Sundays, and evenings until 11 o'clock. Geo. C. Sutton. WASHINGTON, D.

Our Ohio Civil Rights law is alright, says the Alexander 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 Enclud 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.

More Spraying Is Needed but There Is Not Enough City Money to do This Thoroughly, Says Commissioner Storer. New York.—Visitors to Central park within the last few days, and those who walk along the Fifth avenue side of the park, have been appalled at the destruction done to the fine elm trees by thousands of caterpillars, remarks a writer in the New York Tribune. They are the tussock moths, long known among landscape gardeners as one of the most persistent and destructive insects with which they have to deal. Within the limits of Central park they seem to have sprung into life in unusually large numbers this year. Charles Downing Lay, the landscape architect of the park, said recently that in a recent trip through the parks of Brooklyn and the Bronx he saw comparatively few of them. E. S. Avery, who lives at the Metropolitan club, and several other lovers of New York's fine trees, have called attention to this unfortunate state of affairs, and have not hesitated to say that unless the deadly moth situation is taken in hand quickly and forcibly Central park and other sections of Manhattan island which possess handsome trees will see many of the best specimens degenerated to decaying stumps before the approach of another spring. Landscape architects and authorites on trees who were asked yesterday if it were too late in the season to do anything to counteract the destructive effects of these pests said on the contrary that this was the time to get to work. As soon as the caterpillars emerge from their cocoons, which they are now doing by the thousands, they start upward for the green leaves, upon which they feed, and then return to the trunk to lay their eggs within the bark. If the trees are well sprayed with arsenate of lead mixture they will die before denuding the tree partially of the leaves. "This spraying is the second means of eradicating the moths," said William J. Zartmann yesterday. For ten years he was superintendent of parks in Brooklyn. "My method of fighting the moth has been to have workmen clean off the trunk and branches thoroughly in the winter with wire brushes. The small cocoons are swept out of their hiding ```markdown ``` Type of Trees That Suffer. places, and, being caught on pieces of canvas under the tree, are then burned. This is a laborious job, for with large trees the men must get up to the top and scrape all the branches and one man cannot do much more than three trees a day. "The spraying comes when the moths first appear—anywhere from the end of June to the middle of July. If thoroughly applied by power spraying machines to every part of the tree one good spraying ought to be sufficient." Mr. Zartmann figured out the approximate cost of this work at about $1.30 a tree. The spraying is the most costly. A crew of five men and a modern power spraying machine, he said, ought to clean about sixty trees a day. "One or two years" work is not enough," added Mr. Zartmann. "It must be faithfully followed out year after year, and then, while we cannot prevent the appearance of these insects entirely, they will be less in number and less destructive to the future beauty of the trees." Park Commissioner Stover, when asked what was being done to kill off the moths and prevent their future propagation, said that he believed everything that could be done with the means at hand was being accomplished, and he added that spraying machines were at work in several parts of the park. Besides the caterpillars the remaining elms show indications of other diseases noticeable by the dead branches protruding in a most unpicturesque way from the sides and tops.

LITTLE NATION OF ANDORRA Republic is a Veritable Rip Van Win kiel and Hidden High Among Paris, France—There is nothing else in the world quite like the little "protected republic" of Andorra, a veritable Rip Van Winkle land, hardly yet stirring from its thousand years' slumber, and in its dreams it still hears echoing the march of the valiant palads of Charlemagne, by whose help it came into being. But it is likely to waken soon and be made to realize that it, too, belongs to the 20th century. For a railroad is being built across the Pyrenees just east of Andorra, and then will be sure to come a wagon road—the valley can be entered now only by a bridge path—from the railroad into its midst. Perched up among the Pyrenees, on the border between France and Spain and on the ridge of the watershed he Old Stronghold in Andorra. tween the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the flag of this proud little nation flutters over a region that is almost as much the land of the free and quite as much the home of the brave as is that of the Stars and Stripes, although it includes but 175 square miles and contains a population of only 6,000 souls. For over 700 years Andorra has thrived under a modified double protectorate, the rule of France on the north and of the Bishop of Ungel on the south. A representative of each lives in the valley, administers justice and receives a small biennial tribute. Otherwise Andorra is an independent and self-governing state. Its relations to these two "over-lands" are a quaint survival of medieval feudalism. FINDS HIS LONG-LOST RING Man Gets Wedding Band Buried in Sand- Three Years at King's Beach in Massachusetts. Boston, Mass—Three years ago this summer J. Franklin Brown, now head bookkeeper in a shoe factory at Chelsea, lost a wedding ring while in bathing on King's Beach, Swamp sott. Today he has the ring, and behind its restoration is a story of a bit of detective work. Two weeks ago Arthur Getheeil, mall clerk in the Lynn postoffice, was rolling around on the beach in a bathing suit when the sandy recess in which the ring had lain hidden for three years was exposed. The only clue to the identity of the owner was an inscription on the inside which read, "From Flossie to Frank, Oct. 11, 1905." How to find the owner on such a meagre seat, when thousands bathe on the beach every summer, was the problem. For a week Getchell searched every place that he could think of. Then, remembering the old adage about two heads being better than one, he consulted a friend, George F. Alley, and, out of their conferences, a bright thought popped forth: "Why not look up the marriage records on that date." That settled it. They found a Frank and a Flossie were married and Frank lived then at 53 Essex street, Lynn, from where he was traced. Flossie, before she became Mrs. Brown, was Miss Lauckner of 41 Porter street Lynn. FINDS GREAT STORE OF LOOT Stocks of Silks and Satins Valued a $25,000 is issued by Alert Policeguide New York.—A policeman passing a tall loft floor on Tenth avenue heard men's voices coming from an upper floor, and broke in to investigate. In a closet on the fourth floor he found a muscular young man who jumped at him so quickly that they both rolled down three flights of stairs together. The young man was underneath at the foot of the stairs, and was promptly handcuffed. A search of the lofts revealed a great stack of silks and satins, valued at $25,000, packed up ready to be taken away. The prisoner told the police later that three other men escaped while he was struggling on the stairs. They had an automobile outside the building to use in carrying off their loot, he said.

LORD LOUGH HEARD SOME REAL MUSIC LORD LOUGH HEARD SOME REAL MUSIC How an Angel Unawares Hap pened to Visit an Amateur Musician. Bv NORA CAVENDISH: "James," I said, "there is someone coming up the drive." James, seated at the piano, continued to play incorrect chords with his left hand in the bass, while his right hand busied itself in turning over the music before him. "Not at home," he said absently, "His lordship is away from home." "Hardly," I observed gravely, "when his lordship can be seen from the drive, seated at the piano." "Celebrities at home," murmured James, "Lord Lough and his favorite Bechstein 'Grand.'" His right hand, rejoining the left upon the keyboard, now proclaimed to the world in general, in uncertain notes, its inclination to be "beside the seaside." A moment before the front door bell rang loudly. Then through the open window a voice could be heard inquiring whether "Mr. Vincent" was at home. "Certainly not," murmured James. "Tim, we are saved. He has come to the wrong house." Voices were still heard in consultation, and a few minutes later the butler appeared in the doorway. "I beg your pardon, m'lord," he said. "A gentleman has mistaken this house for Mr. Vincent's. He wishes to know whether he may speak to your lordship for a moment." James groaned. The sound must. I am sure, have been distinctly audible to the visitor on the doorstep. "Show him in, Reid," he said, resignedly. There was a brief interval, during which James picked gloomily at the piano, his right hand again haltingly reiterating that it would "like to be beside the sea." Then the door opened, and a tall, dark man, obviously a foreigner, appeared. Reid muttered an unintelligible foreign name, and vanished. The stranger, with many bows and apologies, began explaining the reason of his "seemingly unwarrantable in- A His Performance Was Out of the Ordinary. truslon." Lord Lough must pardon him. He was on his way to Mr. Vincent's house, motoring from London. His motor had been left a mile back on the road, having completely run out of petrol. He had walked on, thinking this to be Mr. Vincent's house—only to learn from the butter that he was still five miles from his destination. A pause here, in which James, pursuing the course expected of him, profered the loan of petrol and the services of his chauffeur to carry it down to the car. The stranger appeared overwhelmed with gratitude. "I fear I have interrupted a musical afternoon," he observed, in his elaborate foreign manner. "I myself adore music. I beg you will continue to play." Willing to spare the musical stranger, I interposed. "Perhaps you yourself play?" I suggested, politely, "Lough and I are only amateurs." James looked coldly at me. "Speak for yourself, Tim," he said. "Personally, I have been slaving away at this blessed plano morning, noon and night for weeks, and I don't mind owning that I think my touch has improved. "Practice is everything," the stranger or assented. "I beg you will play, Lord Lough. It will give me great pleasure to hear you." James looked pleased, and, with a slightly self-conscious air resumed his seat at the plano. "What shall I play?" he inquired, carelessly, "I was just running through a two-step when you arrived." The stranger looked rather puzzled as James struck a few faulty chords upon the plano. "I seemed to know it—the tune you were playing when I entered," he observed, politely. "I have heard it, I think, on the—the-er—barr organ. But something more classical would do greater justice to your talent; if you will allow me to make the suggestion." "Classical?!" said James, vaguely. "Ah, yes, yes. I dare say you are right. I've got some opera somewhere, I believe. Tim, old man, just have a look round while I start away with this." He hurriedly arranged upon the piano a composition entitled "Le Ballet des Sylphs," while the stranger seated himself in an attitude of polite attention upon a distant sofa. The "Sylphs" appeared to have hardly mastered the intricacies of the ballet, and to have executed their steps in hob-nailed boots, judging from the hesitating yet thundering sounds that the piano now gave forth. A well-meant, though unsuccessful at tempt on the musician's part to turn over with his left hand while sustaining the "Sylphes" in their terpsichord efforts with his right, brought the music in a confused heap upon the ground, and the melody to an abrupt conclusion. "Devilish difficult thing that to play," James announced, breathlessly, "I ought to have got one of you to turn over for me." The visitor politely expressed his regrets at not having observed Lord Lough's dilemma in time to offer his assistance, and begged that we might be favored with another tune. This, however, I felt must at all costs be avoided, and I suggested, hurriedly, that the visitor should now take a turn at the plano. James, with obvious reluctance, seconded my proposal, and the stranger, after much persuasion from me, and none from James, took his seat on the music stool. I do not, like James, pretend to have any knowledge of music! but to my mututored ear his performance sounded something quite out of the ordinary. I glanced at James as our guest rose from the piano, and was certain from the look of annoyance on his face that he was equally impressed. "Capital, capital," he said, irritly. "I see you are quite a professional! I hope you will come over and play to us again some time when you are next in the neighborhood." The tone of his voice seemed to express also the hope that such an event might occur only in the remote future. The sound of a motor on the drive now reached our ears, and our guest, with elaborate bows, and many expressions of gratitude, prepared to take his leave. I accompanied him to the front door, where I stood and watched him getting into his car. At the last moment a thought seemed to strike him, and, pulling a letter case from his pocket, he produced from it a card. "Pray express my thanks to Lord Lounge," he said, with foreign accent, and presenting the card to me with a low bow. "I shall do myself the honor of calling to replace the petrol I have borrowed, on my return next week." With more bows and a final wave of his hand he disappeared down the drive in his motor. Then I glanced at the card. When I had recovered from my surprise I re-entered the library, from which the strains of music warned me that the "Sylphe" were giving an encore performance of their ballet. "James," I said, when the music ceased. "What did you think of our visitor. Played well, what?" "Quite well, quite well." His tone lacked enthusiasm. "A slight want of execution, perhaps; but a painstaking performer." "Painstaking," I said thoughtfully. "Yes, perhaps that is the word I wanted. Isn't Valaski, James, the new genius chap? That fellow's playing rather reminded me of his." James smiled pityingly at me as he lightly struck a few false notes on the piano. "Valaski, Tim," he said. "You wouldn't know Valaski from a barrel organ!" I laid Valaski's card gently upon the piano, and went away to play the gramophone. SUTTERMILK LONGEVITY AID Cells in the Body That Attack Microbes Feed on the Fluid, Say the Scientists. Buttermilk will prolong the human life for many years. That assertion has been proved by several of the leading physicians of the world—Pasteur and Metchnikoff of Paris. In the blood are little cells known as leucocytes. Those cells are the scavengers of the body, and in their concave surfaces are able to grasp a germ or a foreign body and force its elimination from the human system. The leucocytes figuratively speaking are the home defenders of the body. Under the microscope the home defenders can be seen flowing along in the blood streams. Suddenly they will stop as though they sensed some near danger. Changing their shape to that of a v they will penetrate the blood vessel wall and pick up a stray germ, probably a typhoid or one of the many other varieties. When a person wounds the skin and the blood runs the home defenders rush to the afflicted part and project themselves into the surface of the abrasion, preventing the entrance of outside germ life. They give up their lives to attain their object and the hard little ridges felt on both sides of a slight wound are the leucocytes so tightly impacted that their lifeless bodies help form scar tissue. As years pass that commendable action of sacrificing themselves so the human body may live ceases and the little friends of the body once known as home defenders turn into a lawless element, ravaging the body they once defended. Metchnikoff and Pasteur found that buttermilk contained an element which prevented the leucocytes from ravaging the body. Experiments proved they would eat the buttermilk in preference to the human tissue. Earliest American Newspapers Some of the old-time newspapers of this country and the date of first publication follow: The Penny Packet, 1771. Daily Advertiser, 1784, and United States Gazette, 1789. In 1704 John Campbell of Boston founded the Boston News Letter. This was followed by the Gazette in Boston in 1719, and the Weekly American Mercury at Philadelphia the same year. The New England Courant was established in Boston two years later. The Gazette commenced publication in New York in 1725, the New York Weekly Journal in 1733 by John Peter Zenger, and his paper is regarded as the prototype of the modern news journal.

Better to Stick to Light Opera Better to Stick to Light Opera. Reginald de Koven, writing in the Dramatic Mirror, says that the ambition of many singers to appear in grand opera is a misguided one. "From my own experience," he says, "I recall the instance of a lady who had been in demand at from $400 to $500 a week in light opera. After two years' study for grand opera in Paris she returned here and was engaged by Conried at $50 a month!" Rural Education.
