THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 11. HOPE BETTER THAN EVER ALL CANDIDATES MUST DECLARE PARTY AFFILIATION. RULES SECRETARY GRAVES. PETITIONS ARE THROWN OUT Papers Filed in Behalf of Progressive Candidates in Franklin County Are Declared Faulty by Chief Election Officer. Columbus, O.—Declaring he was acting in a judicial, not an administrative capacity, Secretary of State Charles H. Graves, chief election officer of Ohio, threw out all petitions for the nomination of the Progressive ticket of Republican and Democratic candidates in Franklin county, holding no man who was a candidate on one party ticket and espoused its principles, could be a candidate on another party ticket with conflicting principles. The ruling was a victory for the Test Republicans and a defeat for the Moose followers. The ruling had been expected, save that it was not known that Secretary Graves was to construe his acts as judicial. If he is correct in his interpretation of the statutes and is a judicial officer in the ruling, it will follow, it is asserted, that his action is final. Dissenters from the law as construed by Secretary Graves said the case will be taken to the courts and an effort made to procure a judicial review of the ruling. The ruling was based almost entirely on the provision in the election laws that each nomination paper shall set forth the political party or principles advocated by the candidate. Graves held that where a man had been a candidate at a party primary and had filed his statement saying he belonged to that party and would accept the nomination if he won it, it was impossible for another individual to file nominations for that candidate to have his name placed on the ticket of another party and declare the candidate stood for the principles of the second party. Graves declares it would be fraud on the electorate to permit any candidate to represent that he stands for certain principles when in fact he does not stand for those principles, and that such a fraud ought not to be permitted. Taking this position he ruled there was but one question before him—the truth or falsity of the petition statements. In determining that fact he ruled the voluntary statement and declaration of the candidates who participated in the state primary, in which they declared their party affiliation, was superior to the statement of the third party signed to the petitions filed later to put the names on the second ballot. Against the statement of the individual, Graves said, there was only the bare statement of a third party who had circulated the petition, and who, perhaps, lacked definite information. He added the petitions did not correctly state the party or political principle of the candidates and for that reason the petitions were incomplete and would not be received. Graves states positively in the ruling that he had repeatedly held that in the absence of any law specifically to the contrary the name of a candidate might appear on the ballot on two tickets provided the candidate had compiled with the law in securing such nominations. There was nothing in his ruling to make plain what he terms the compliance with the law in securing the second insertion of the name. The petitioners had followed custom, they claim, and had carried out the law as they read it and understood it in using the petition form of getting the candidate's name on the ticket the second time. Graves holds their version of the law faulty. Nye to be Tried October 14. Columbus, O.—Prosecutor Turner has just announced he that Dr. George B. Nye, representative from Pike county, indicted on six charges of alleged bribery, will be placed on trial to answer to one of the indictments against him on October 14. The trial of Senator George K. Cetone of Dayton, set for that date, will be postponed. This change, Turner explains, was made because the physicians who have been attending Roscoe Wolcott, court stenographer, who took the alleged conversation between Frank Harrison Smiley, the Burns detective, and members of the general assembly, later indicted for bribery, stated that he has not yet sufficiently recovered from a recent siege of typhoid fever to act as a witness so soon. Motorcyclist is Killed. Mt. Vernon, O.-Herbert Clark, the son of Samuel Clark, contractor, was thrown from a motorcycle on Monument square and instantly killed. Webb C. Haves Weds.

Brinkerhoff, widow of the late Judge Samuel Brinkerhoff, were married here and left for a wedding tour of the east. Fined for Serving Beer at Party. Bellefainte, O.—Because Morris Bundy served beer at his birthday party, he was fined $50 and costs by Judge Hover for violating the Rose law THE GAZETTE PICK WILLIAM SULZER NEW YORK DEMOCRATS NAME CONGRESSMAN FOR GOVERNOR Delegates to State Convention Also Nominate Martin H. Glynn for Second Place on Ticket. Convention Hall, Syracuse, N. Y. Congressman William Sulzer was nominated for governor of New York on the fourth ballot by the Democrats after a four-hour session that was filled with exciting events. Although Sulzer was really nominated by acclamation, the fourth ballot was completed in compliance with the statutes. When the result was announced it showed that Sulzer had 447 and Glynn three votes. These three were from Cayuga and were controlled by Thomas Mott Osborne, who led the opposition from the start. Sulzer was a consistent gainer after the first ballot. At the beginning of the fourth ballot, the ball was set rolling by Albany county, which changed its nine votes from Glyan to the congressman. This was followed by two other counties with small representations which also switched to Sulzer. While waiting for Kings county to be called, Herman A. Metz, former controller of New York, took the door and withdrew from the contest in favor of Sulzer and the Sulzer crowd went wild. In an Instant Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York was on his feet and announced that New York would cast its 105 votes for Mr. Sulzer. The convention was by this time in such a state of disorder that Chairman Parker could with difficulty be heard. He poudre' his desk vigorously. When he could make himself heard he ordered that the fourth ballot be concluded. Martin H. Glynn of Albany was the unanimous choice of the delegates for lieutenant governor, although the first ballot was completed. NEGRO LYNCHED BY CONVICTS Assailant of Aged Woman is Strung Up by Prisoners in the Wyoming State Penitentiary. Cheyenne, Wyo.—Frank Wigfall, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Julia Higgins, 71, at Rawlins, was lynched by convicts in the state penitentiary, where he had been transferred for safe keeping from the county jail at Rawlins. The pen lynching, one of the most remarkable in the history of the west, followed the failure of a mob of several hundred persons to get possession of the negro before daylight. Wigfall, who fled into the hills near Cherokee after assaulting Mrs. Higgins, was captured by posses at night near Fort Steele and taken back to Rawlins. A mob of angry citizens, carrying ropes and shotguns, immediately gathered about the jail. They became so threatenable that the prisoner was taken to the state pen. At daylight the 300 convicts in the pen learned of Wigfall's presence. pen learned of Wigtail's presence. At 8:30, while being marched to the broom factory, the prisoners suddenly leaped upon the guards and turnkeys, overpowered them and secured the key to Wigtail's cell. Securing a rope from the turnkey's office, they rushed to the cell's cell. The hoop snapped and fastened the other end about a railing 50 feet above the main floor of the prison rotunda. Cursing loudly, their yells mingling with the pleadings of the negro for mercy, the convicts seized Wigtail and hurled him over the railing into the rotunda. The victim fell 25 feet and his neck was broken instantly. A remarkable scene followed. CARNEGIE MODEL IS BANISHED Pretty Art Class Venus at Institute is Sent to House of Good Shepherd in Tears. Pittsburgh, Pa. — The Carnegie Technical school has developed its first scandal, Rose Drew, the "Venus" of the art class, was sent to the House of the Good Shepherd in tears and the latest fashions in clothes and millinery. The students in art and illustrating, for whom the incomparable Rose has posed in the altogether for two years, must find another model. Since Rose came from Connellsville two years ago with nothing but her figure and pretty face she has had a class of faithful future Millets worshipping at her shrine. Only recently this became known to the morals efficiency committee that has been "cleaning" the town. Some of Rose's envious neighbors objected to the "parties" she gave in her flat. The Carnegie model consented last night to keep an appointment with Dr. F. A. Rhodes, head of the vice commission. He went to Rose's flat at her suggestion. Her banishment followed. De Palma Wins Vanderbilt Race Milwaukee, Wis. — Staking his chances and his life for the last 50 miles on a torn rear tire, Ralph De Palma, in a Mercedes car, won the Vanderbilt cup race of 300 miles over the Wauwatosa course by a desperate driving finish that caused the 60-90 spectators to repeatedly gasp in terror.

AGAINST THE HURDLES UP AGAINST THE HORDLES FOREIGN IMMIGRATION FREE TRADE NEGRO QUESTION RECALL OF JUDGES TARIFF FOREIGN IMMIGRATION NEGRO QUESTION RECALL OF JUDGES TARIFF LINCOLN MISQUOTED SON OF MARTYRED PRESIDENT SHOWS ROOSEVELT ALTERED HIS LANGUAGE Robert T. Lincoln Makes It Plain That the Colonel Has Nothing in Common With the Patriotic Executive of War Time. Theodore Roosevelt is fond of asserting his own resemblance to Abraham Lincoln and of quoting from the words of the martyred president in support of the radical Rooseveltian theories. But Robert T. Lincoln, in a letter to Chairman Hilles of the Republican national committee, points out that Mr. Roosevelt has "deliberately altered" the words of Lincoln and has found arguments upon the misquotation. The letter is a complete expose of Mr. Roosevelt's method of seeking votes. It shows that Abraham Lincoln had nothing in common with Roosevelt, and that the latter, in attempting to juggle with the name of the martyred president, is imposing upon the American people. Mr. Roosevelt has never yet explained why he deliberately altered the words of President Lincoln to suit his own purposes, nor has he apologized for his misrepresentation. On the contrary, he has ignored the grave charges contained in Mr. Lincoln's letter, which is as follows: "Manchester, Vermont, April 27, 1912. My Dear Mr. Hilles: You ask what I think of the repeated assertions by Mr. Roosevelt, that his attitude on certain radical doctrines is supported by the recorded views of my father. The proper answer to your inquiry cannot be made in a few words. The government under which my father lived was, as it is now, a republic, or representative democracy, checked by the Constitution, which can be changed by the people, but only when acting by methods which compel deliberation and exclude so far as is possible the effect of passionate and short-sighted impulse. A government in which the checks of an established Constitution are actually, or practically, omitted—one in which the people act in a mass directly on the questions and not through their chosen representatives is a checked democracy, a form of government so full of danger, as shown by history, that it should be to exist except in communities small and concentrated as to space. A New England town meeting may be good, but such government in a large city, or state, would be chaos. "As I understand it, the essence of Mr. Roosevelt's proposals is that we shall adopt the latter form of government in place of the existing form. This, in simple words, is a proposed revolution, peaceful perhaps, but a revolution. In support of these revolutionary doctrines, which, if successful, would abolish the form and the spirit of our existing government, and surely, I think, lead to attempted dictatorships, resort is had to what is claimed to be the words and teachings of President Lincoln, and assumed that he has been dead for many years, his influence is still felt as being that of a wise and patriotic citizen. If that is true, we are all interested in having his opinions and sayings truthfully stated, and my interest is naturally peculiar. "President Lincoln wrote many let- Republican Principles The Republican party stands for a definite policy of administering the affairs of the government.

I do not know of the existence in any of them of a word of censure, or of complaint of our government, or of the methods by which it was carried on. He was sincerely and faithfully obedient to our Constitution. In the single act for which perhaps he is most remembered—the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation—he expressly supported it as an act warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity. "On one public occasion he described the effect of the counting of slaves in congressional and electoral representation. In comment, he said: 'Now, all this is manifestly unfair; yet I do not mention it to complain of it insofar as it is already settled. It is in the Constitution, and I do not for that cause, or any other cause, propose to destroy, or alter, or disregard the Constitution. I stand to it fairly, fully and firmly." "He hated slavery, but his reverence for the Constitution and law was such that he said publicly again and again that if a member of congress he would faithfully support a fugitive slave law. "His attitude toward the Dred Scott decision is urged as in support of the pernicious project for the recall by popular vote of judges and of judicial decisions. He thought it an erroneous decision, but his chief point in reference to it was not its error, but that it indicated a scheme, and was a part of it, for the nationalization of human slavery. He never suggested a change in our government under which the judges who made it should be recalled, but said that he would resist it politically by voting, if in his power, for an act prohibiting slavery in United States territory, and then endeavor to have the act sustained in a new proceeding, by the same court reversing itself. "Is there to be found here, or anywhere else, support for a project to abolish the essential elements, or any elements of our Constitution? And yet he is cited In support of such action. He loved the government under which he lived and when at Gettysburg he prayed (if I may use the word) that 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people may not perish from the earth,' he meant, and could only mean, that government under which he lived, a representative government of balanced executive, legislative and judicial parts, and not something entirely different—an unchecked democracy. "These often quoted words of President Lincoln are now deliberately altered, and argument found on their altered form. I may be permitted to say that I do not think the public wishes the Gettysburg speech to be rewritten and its words changed by anyone, however distinguished, for any purpose, least of all in order to support a proposition that President Lincoln could not possibly have had in mind. "Personal feelings are unimportant, but I am not only impatient but indignant that President Lincoln's words and plain views should be perverted and misapplied before trusting people in support of doctrines which I believe he would abhor if living. "Believe me, sincerely yours. "ROBERT T. LINCOLN." Toft Plays the Game Fairly. President Taft is a man who plays the game fairly—who puts right above politics, and the people's prosperity above personal glory. Under his administration times have grown better than they have ever been. With his re-election the outlook will be still brighter. ing, labor troubles are reduced to a minimum, and contented workmen in mills from Maine to the Pacific coast are bringing home well-filled pay envelopes every week. Our country has never known, during a like period, as great prosperity as it has attained under President Taft's administration. In 1909 there was a government deficit of $58,735,000; in 1911 there was a surplus of $47,234,000. These facts speak volumes FARMER, READ THIS YOU SHARE IN GREATEST PROSPERITY EVER KNOWN IN THIS COUNTRY. HOME MARKET PROFITABLE Taft's Administration Has Done More For American Wage Earners and Producers Than Any Other—Don't Risk Another Democratic Experiment. Now is a mighty good time for farmers to do some serious thinking. Those engaged in the cattle and sheep industries should also join in. If the farmers want to keep the prosperity they have and add to it, they should not become victims of over-confidence. They are having a full meal of prosperity. Times are good. They are getting top prices. Our own home market at their doors takes all their products they wish to sell. They have a right to feel contented. Farmers, don't forget about your next meal, the preservation of your property and the welfare of your wife and children. Don't be caught napping. Don't get the idea that no matter who is president—or what they do in Washington, things will go on just the same. THEY WONT. It's a distressingly short step and an awfully hard fall from good times to bad times. Panicles and shut-down factories and tight money, and no demand for farm products, don't send word ahead of their coming. The sun may go down on a land of happiness and plenty and come up on a stricken nation. This is history. And it is not such ancient history that some of you cannot remember it, either. Do you want to contribute to such a disaster? The men who have a finger on the public pulse—the men best able to judge in every party—say, either publicly or privately, that the fight has narrowed down to two candidates—President Taft and Professor Wilson. One thing is certain—a vote for the third term candidate is a vote for the professor. Please get this fixed in your mind. Just as surely as your ballot goes in for the "Bull Moose" ticket it counts one more vote for Professor Wilson, and for the same kind of business destruction, human want and distress that marked the last Democratic administration. Professor Wilson is a nice man and a good instructor in Greek and Latin. He also has some beautiful academic theories as to government. But as a presidential candidate, aspiring to guard the business welfare of ninety million people, with agricultural and industrial interests running into billions upon billions of dollars, Professor Wilson is simply and piteously unqualified. The necessities of this country are bread and butter—not Greek and Latin, not psychology or metaphysics. We want results, not theories. The people of this country would be as unwise to put their trust in Professor Wilson, as you would be to turn the contract and management of your property over to an inexperienced dreamer, who never farmed a day in his life. Let us not plunge this happy, prosperous nation into another siege of financial ruin and paralyzed industries, such as came with Democratic rule. Those were heart-breaking years, and in humanity's name let us not have their like again. Your crops may be heavy, but what would that profit you without a home market to consume them? What is your profit if your grain is rotting in the field, your fruit littering the ground, your live stock eating their heads off? During the Democratic times of panic the amount of wheat annually consumed per person in this country fell to four bushels. It is now six and a quarter bushels. We now consume over three hundred million bushels more every year than at that time. Don't listen to the gib assurance that things will be better under another Democratic administration. THEY WILL NOT. There will be the same policy of letting down the bars to foreign countries, of leaving unprotected our industrial institutions, of permitting other countries to ship into America, duty free, cheaper farm products to compete with yours. That policy is the campaign cry of the Democratic party today—just as it was in those days of famine and misery. "Tariff for revenue only," they demand. For the GOVERNMENT, revenue only. But what about YOU? When you go to the polls on November 5 to cast your vote, remember that while there are half a dozen candidates, there are only two presidential POSSIBILITIES. A vote for the third term candidate is a vote against prosperity and for Professor Wilson. Do you want free trade and calamity; or, President Taft, continued prosperity and a land of happy homes? Effective Administration. President Taft should be re-elected because his administration stands as one of the most fruitful and progressive in the history of the nation. The work of nation-building has gone on hand in hand with the inauguration of great economies in the public service. Expenses Decreased. Under President Taft's administration the annual expenses of the government have been decreased by eight million dollars. THEY WON'T. THEY WILL NOT Effective Administration. Expenses Decreased WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY THIS PROS- IN TABLE AFRO SINGLE COPY AFRO-AMERICA SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Advices from Paris, France, state that the idea of making up for the numerical inferiority of the annual French conscription contingent for the army, as compared with that of Germany, by redrafting a corps of black troops drawn from French West Africa into the Continental forces has long been broached. It will not meet with acceptance yet awhile. But every now and then the campaign in favor of the scheme is pushed a step forward. Thus, the governor of French West Africa, having been asked by the war office for 5,000 black troops for Morocco cabled within forty-eight hours undertaking to supply the required contingent in six months time. On the other hand, a permanent force of native troops is being organized in the colony, whence reinforcements can be drawn when wanted. Le Matin takes these arrangements as a text to argue in favor of the regular employment of black troops. By the new France will have over 15,000 men of the latter under arms. By 1914 the force will fall little short of 20,000. That is the strength of an army corps, and "France will thus possess twenty-one, instead of twenty, army corps." The Twenty-first Army Corps, if employed in time of war, must necessarily be employed on the European Continent. Any scheme for drafting it into Algeria, to enable the French troops stationed there to be available elsewhere, would arouse the Arab population to revolt. Will European opinion ever stomach the employment of black troops in European warfare? Perhaps, if pressed by superior numbers, France would override European opinion. The fifth annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses was in session recently in Richmond, Va. There were between forty and fifty nurses in attendance, coming from different sections of the country, Miss Mary F. Clarke, president of the association, presided over the deliberations of the body. There were many excellent papers read during the session, among which were "General Nursing." Miss Gussie V. William, superintendent of Richmond hospital; "Homes for Nurses," Mrs. W. A. Frazier, Washington, D. C.; "Mental Nursing," Mrs. Ada Franklin, Petersburg, Va.; "Special Nursing," Mrs. Clara Rolins, Washington, D. C.; "Chronic Nursing," Miss Bessie Hunter; "Nursing in America as a Profession." Miss E. Miller of Philadelphia. Others papers were read by Miss M. E. Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pa.; Miss M. E. Sandusky, Jacksonville, Fla.; Du B. Eason, Virginia; Dr. W. H. Hughes, Richmond. "The Relationship of the Nurse to the Physician." "The Mistakes of the Past and the Outlook for the Future," a round table talk, was one of the most interesting features of the convention. The address of welcome was made by Prof. D. Webster Davis. The response was by Miss Florence Fordham of Orangeburg, S. C. The officers elected were: Miss Mary F. Clarke, president; Miss M. Davis, first vice-president; Miss E. C. Christie, Chester, Pa., second vice-president; Miss Florella Porter, Orangeburg, S. C., recording secretary; Miss C. S. Morgan, corresponding secretary; Miss M. R. Tucker, treasurer. The installation address was made by D. H. L. Harris. When a fellow finds fault about everybody, where is the fellow who doesn't find fault with him?

There was much diversity of opinion wherever discussed. There are those who believe that a colored officer might get killed, and they are very solicitous as to his welfare. They have a perfect horror at the thought of an officer being killed if he be of African descent, but they have little or no concern about a colored man being shot to death in citizens clothes. There are those who think that a colored policeman should not arrest any one except colored people; while there are still others who think that being a policeman is a white man's job. None of these elements will ever do much toward restoring law and order in Dallas, where we have a murder every time we have a week. Those charged with the responsibility of gaining a good name for Dallas and preserving the same must rise above these petty notions and adopt measures and select men to carry those measures into effect without for a moment stopping to consider the question of the color or race of the man. The Dallas Express wants to see negroes on the police force. We believe it will create a better feeling. The colored officer will necessarily spend much of his time with negroes. The better element of negroes will feel freer to help him hunt down a criminal than they will to help a white man. In other words, the city is entitled to the experiment. Let us try it. If it does no good we can stop it before it does much harm.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. From a standpoint of interesting clinics, instructive papers, attendance, entertainment and enthusiasm, the fourteenth annual season of the National Medical association, held at Tuskegee institute, was the most successful in the association's history. One of the features of the session was the daily clinics, 499 persons going to the institute's hospital for medical and surgical attention in four days. The news that the leading colored physicians and surgeons of the country would gather at Tuskegee in annual session and conduct daily clinics led to one of the most extraordinary scenes ever witnessed at far-famed Tuskegee. For miles along negroes who had been suffering with some affliction for months, and in some cases years, to put themselves to the institute to put themselves under the examination of doctors. The physicians were deeply touched by the tactile appeal for medical aid, and quite often did the patient leave the hospital greatly benefited by his visit. Some crippled and infirm walked from sixteen to eighten miles to Tuskegee institute while others drove a distance of thirty miles. Nashville was chosen as the next place of meeting and Dr. J. A. Kenney of Tuskegee institute, was elected president at the annual election of officers, which resulted as follows: J. A. Kenney, M. D. Tuskegee institute, president; D. A. Ferguson, D. D. S., Richmond, Va., vice-president; Dr. C. A. Wilkerson, Mobile, Ala., second vice-president; Dr. J. R. Levy, Florence, S. C., treasurer; Dr. W. G. Alexander, Orange, N. J., sec retary. Edna G. Weaver, twenty years old, who took examination for seven different civil service positions open to women at Kansas City, holds first place in six of them and second place in the other. Two things have recently stirred Chicago. First, the meeting of the Business League, and secondly, the generous gift to Negro education on the part of Julius Rosenwald. In some publications the gift of Mr. Rosenwald to Negro education has been misunderstood. It has been stated by several papers that this gift of $25,000 goes to Tuskegee, which is denied. The money is simply placed into the hands of Booker T. Washington to be distributed as he deems wise among the smaller schools of the south.

T take great pleasure in doing this, since I believe it only due him and Your people that something should be known of bis troubles and triumphs. It would serve to encourage others to aim for high ideals. My attention was first attracted to him’ by a newspaper article, which stated that the Western Association of Writers had held a convention in Dayton. It stated that no one had heard of Paul Lawronce Dunbar and all were surprised when a slender Ne- gro boy came down the aisle and mounted the platform. They were more surprised at the quality of his original poem. He disappeared just as suddenly as he appeared. ‘They began to inquire who he was. Some one answered, “Oh, he is only an elevator boy in the Callaghan Building.” T wrote him a letter, asking him to send me a copy of his poems and to tell me of his life. He answered that his life had been uneventful; that he was running an elevator at $5 per week, and gut of this trying to sup- port himself’ and his widowed mother, and pay for a home in the Building and Loan Association, where the bulk of his payments went for interest. Next week I hope to give you some further facts in his life. Very truly yours, CHARLES A.

The Magis- trate listened to the evidence of Po- Hieeman Pil of the vieo squad, who had arrested Jack Hanlon, the former puilist, whom hie accused of calling him a gink when Pill was on duty in the Tenderloin, When the judge heard the case he said: “Well, that {s not wrong.

If that fs all that the man said you had no right to arrest him.” Tn the crossexamination of Pill Hanton’s lawyer asked Pill 1f he knew what the word meant. When the po- Tieeman sald he did not know the at torney said: “Well, if you don't know now, gon will soon enough, for you have been accused of being a “eink: before, and you had better be careful or they may make more than accusn- tions the next time.” The Magis- trate suspended further hostilities by discharging the prisoner.

Chance vs. Choice ee ORE Oe ee ee “it's a matter of change,” comment; ed Bertrand, struggling into his coat, and bastily preparing (o take his body) where his heart slrendy was—ten' miles away on the green links. It, Was the last of May, hot, and Saturday afternoon, and he was glad to et! away from Harrison, who was in love \nd liked to talk about marriage. “It's @ matter of chance,” he ins sisted. “Any sane man would prefer his freedom. You know it, Harrison! He fights shy as long as he can, and when chance throws Just the right girl in his way, she gets him. He strus- gles, then yields, then pretends he was the aggressor, whereas he {s near- ly always merely accessory after tho fact! He gets ignominlously enraged, and then tries to talk himself and his felends into believing that no mere single man can know what happiness Ist” “The man chooses,” said Harrison doggedly, putting some documents into the safe. “Now, 1” His friend and partner lifted a pro- testing hand and started for the door, his merry dark eyes dancing, his cap ‘on the back of his dark head. “Don't! We all know just what hap- pened to you! You went to a party and met a pretty Indy from Los An- geles and will never be yourself againt T'm going now, so you can write your dsily forty pages io her. But you're a living warning to me, I've senso enough to know I'm susceptible, and don't dally with temptation, old fel low—see you Monday. Hope it isn't going to rain!” He swung into the corridor of the big office building, but Harrison was after im. “Wait a moment,” he said. “Want to tell you something—heard yester: day that Nona Waite fs to marry that Rawson creature from—where Is, he from? Nobody seems to know. What “Mrs. Harley meant by introducing him about T cant think!” 1 thought that you and Nona—" John Bertrand shrugged his shou! ders the least bit and took the eleva: tor down. He would not discuss Nona with any one, his little playmate ON Cle ogy Ly ® from childhood. She was too close— Uke a sister. But the information ‘about Rawson brought a black scowl to his face, He would see the girl— hadn't seen her for months save in public, and he now remembered as he went out on the street that she seemed ‘to avoid him. Then he remembered golf and the country club and forgot everything else. He hoped Carter would be on hand. Carter played a real game and made opposition worth the trouble. {Despite a hint of wet in the afr, the day was perfect, the links were per- fect, Carter was waiting and the world was bright. Bertrand got his clube and started, losing himself in the game. | Half way around the course he sud- denly recognized Nona, She was with Rawson, who was no match for her at golf or any other game. She gave Bertrand the merest recognition. In fact, she almost turned her back on him, and her nod was small and chilly. ‘What had he done? He teed off, won- dering. The girl's Mttle red-brown head was uncovered to the sun, her blue dress blowing in the breeze. She gave a vicious drive and missed the ball. ‘That was unlike her usual care ful, deliberate game. ‘Wondering what he should say to her about Rawson, he missed his own drive and unathematized himself in vigorous words, hereafter concentrat- ing his mind on the business of the game in hand. He was no man to do two things at once. When he was nearly around the course he looked up and saw the sky clouding. Also ‘he saw Nona’s blue dress disappearing into the wood beyond, Rawson still eside her. Ho frowned and holed in with fine accuracy. He was leav- ing Carter far behind. Before long he felt a drop of rain ‘on his face, made a wild drive, and in searching for his ball, the caddy be- ing evidently of no account, he came close to the little wood with its wild paths and rustic seats. The caddy told him, what he knew himself, that it was beginning to rain, a soft, ewift summer shower. He gent hie clubs back by the boy and tured into the wood. He did not mind a wetting. He loved the wet, fresh grass, the bud- ding flowers, the great trees. He went up a path and then through brash up HRN RHHRHRH HEE AGENTS! READ!

It would shelter him and he could enjoy the outdoors and think, Leaning against the great trunk, he suddenly remembered Nona and a sort of fear for her possessed him. Had Rawson gotten ber back to the club house? There was nelther car line, house nor other shelter in this diree- tion, and he knew she was afraid of @ storm, Of course the fellow knew: enough to look after her—but Ber: trand was nervous. The sky was growing very black and thunder be- san to rumble distantly. He dellb; erately atfrted out to look for the irl. He had not gone a rod when he heard * ewish in the bushes, and turning, heard a queer little fright- ened sound. He saw nothing, but without consciously intending to, he callad cut: “Nona, where are you?” In a mo: ment he saw her come from behind tree. She was very pale, and as he rushed to meet her, sho came quickly close to him, clinging to his arm. He drew her back under the big elm, “What does this mean?” he asked sternly. “Where is Rawson? What fare you dong alone in this storm, Nona?” He had his coat off and was wrapping her in it. -“f—went away and left him—I—oh, there he comes now!” | It was he, indeed, his not unpleas- ing, but hard, face worried. Bertrand stepped out. | “If you ate looking for Miss Waite, she is with me. I shall look after her “now,” he sald coldly. ‘The other man laughed. things!” he said coolly. “You don't need to be so protective. I only. tn- sisted on knowing whether she was going to marry me or not, She has played with me all summer, and 1 was tired of It. She had no need to run away from me, You can see that I couldn't leave her in this storm. | Now you are responsible, and Twill leave you. I believe I shall also wish you joy,” he sald, coolly. ee ee ar ee Oa ey Bertrand turned to Nona. “Was he annoying you In any way? If he was he shall pay for it. Tell me just what happened?

It was as if he had me hyp- notized or something. Iwas afraid I— that he might make me promise—and, after all, I did not want to, John. It was awful! And so I ran away. 1 went off up the wrong path, away from the links instead of toward them; and couldn't find my way out. And I heard him following me. Of course he “had to—the storm was breaking, but I could not bear to have him find me! And then—I heard your voice, and—" She began to ery. John Rertrand laughed. “Bless your dear little heart, Nona!” he said. “I was out looking for you! Thad had my eyes upon all afternoon.” She did not resist when at a frightful peal of thunder he came and put his arms protectingly about her. She was very still, “If 1 should ask you when you in. tend to marry me would you run away through the wet woods lke a ‘wild, silly thing, Nona?” He looked down, waiting for an answer. |" She nodded a denial against his arm where her head rested. “Tell me!" he urged, | much I—care!” ‘Then the young man was very glad with a gladness entirely new to him. ‘The sweetness of life was in. his heart; the sweetness of young, wet growing things about him.

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 I have always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an uns sanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons even when not harmed.

After dinner theograph was taken. There is talk of making the occasion an annual affair. The few members of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, who apparently so glibly boasted, after the Aug. 1 alleged emancipation celebration that "every knock was a boost," having reference particularly to the ministerial mass meeting at Cory M. E. church, just before that date, are in the deepest distress these days, so they are not being held up to the "celebration," being a financial failure, one of the leading members of the association, it seems, is "holding out" about $90 of the receipts which, current rumor also says, is needed to meet certain obligations in connection with the alleged celebration. This is quite as amusing as was the squashing of the association's weak, ineffectual behavior, and the Cory M. E. church's mass meeting referred to. Some of the members say that most, if not all of that "ninety went visiting." Alleged evidence obtained by means of a dictograph was introduced before Judge S. S. Ford Monday for the first time in the history of the criminal courts of Cuvahoga County. The dictograph itself was shown and its intricacies explained by Detective Mintz. It aroused some curiosity among jury members and appointed a case that of Reuben White, chauffeur for Capt. John Mitchell, on trial for alleged perjury. It involved an alleged conversation between White and attorneys for the Cleveland Railway Co., said to have occurred in the office of Attorney Roy E. Green, assistant claim agent of the railway company. According to the stenographic white agreement to give evidence able to the company in a damage suit if paid $500. White witnessed the death of Mrs. Hunter Robb, well known nurse and wife of Dr. Hunter Robb killed by a Euclid Ave. car, April 1, 1910. W. Taylor, administrator of the estate of Mrs. Robb, the Cleveland Railway Co. for $10,000. During the hearing of the beforematter and apologetic Mintz the alleged dictograph evidence was offered by attorneys for the company. White denied he agreed to testify in behalf of the company for a he was indicted on the charge of perjury. White was represented by former Judge W. C. Ong. County Prosecuting Attorney J. A. Cline and his assistant Koryn Korshak of the criminal courts of Cuvahoga County. Detective Mintz offered to string the wires and demonstrate the dictograph. He said that a conversation could be distinguished two miles away by the machine. Judge Ong's repeated references to his client as "this Negro" or "the Negro," instead of using the man's name, caused considerable adverse comment and much feeling. White was convicted. Wednesday, Cline is the county prosecutor for the company under Martin (and the Attucks Club) a deputyship or an assistant prosecution, and then refused to keep his promise after being nominated and elected.

Champion Jack's Beautiful and Talented Woman of Culture and Refinement - Succeeded While III and Mentally Unbalanced. So very many miserable lies, relative to the principles in the tragedy, have been told by the daily newspapers and the white press generally, that The Gazette takes this opportunity to impress upon its readers the truth of the lines in the head of this article, and what follows. Sept. 14, 1900, the first day of Chicago thousands congregated in the streets around the Johnson residence at the church and at the cemetery. The police estimated the crowd at 20,000 and great difficulty was experienced by sounds of mounted police clearing a path for the cortege. A the residence a wall of prayer was said by the police. W. R. Johnson, S. Marks A. M. E. church. The coffre received in a great bed of lilies of the valley. There were roses everywhere four automobiles being required to carry the floral tributes alone. A the cortege started from the residence, the police fought with the throne to make a path for the hearses and the police fought with the thieves and friends. Colored and white Women fainted and had to be lifted out of the dense crowd. It was a remarkable scene. Many whites were there who were genuinely distressed at the pitiful grief of Jack Johnson, for he has many friends among the prominent residents of Chicago. There were thousands of white men and women. Strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" seldom reach the ear of the hardened fighter of the prize ring. The cling of the bell and shouts of the crowd is their music. Yet when the song rose from the throats of the choir of girls at St. Marks' church tears unrestrained coursed down the cheeks of the crowd. Some battle-scarred pugilists. The church was densely packed and the heavy odor of the great masses of flowers caused women to faint. On the grey casket, in the midst of the Madison White has been granted a life pension by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad after having served that company for more than fifty years. A noted Spanish dancer, La Estrella has been engaged to tour the country in "The Follies of 1812," the leading star of which is the famed comedian, Bert Williams; weekly salary of $1,000. The package containing $55,000 in currency, which was mysteriously extracted from an express shipment from New York to Nashville, Fla., to the Louisville & Nashville pay car at Fletown, Ala., was found at the rear of that bank by the Afro-American janitor. I had nearly two hours to wait for the next train, so I busted myself with strolling through the business streets of this Ohio city and gazing upon the sights, which then possessed special interest to me. The Soldiers and Sailors' Monument attracted my attention, the County Court House Building and the City Hall, where I spent the interest, while the magnificent arcades were a source of never-ending delight. I entered a five and ten cent store and to my surprise saw a Colored man sitting behind a desk doing scroll-work with pen and ink and writing visiting cards. I spoke to him and gave him my card, expressing surprise and interest in a position there. His sign read, "Jim, the Penman." He instantly recognized me and said that he had heard and known of me, and that he was a friend of Hon. Harry C. Smith. I did not tarry long, but accepted one of his magnificently written cards and moved on to another point of interest, was a stranger and named to Colored men, they certainly knew the name, but not the individual. Tired out at last, I started for the Union Station. I failed to state that I had taken my breakfast in the Union Station. I felt somewhat indisposed, but after dining, I felt all right again. White waiters ministered to my wants and no sign of discrimination on account of my race. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., in Richmond (Va.) Planet. While in the city, last Saturday and Sunday week, Editor Mitchell was the guest of Mr. A. T. Abbott. The editor of The Gazette was out of the city and did not get to see Mr. Mitchell on his return trip to Cleveland. Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER banks of flowers, there shone one tiny white candle. Rev. Mr Robinson announced that the mixed choir would shur the favorite song of Mrs. Johnson. "Take the Name of Jesus With You," which she learned to love when a member of the congregation of St. Mary's Church in Brownsville, N. Y. Mrs. Johnson's mother and sister, Mrs. David Terry and Miss Elaine Terry, of Brooklyn, N. Y., appeared in the doorway, the former supported by her son-in-law. She was sobbing bitterly and as she descended the stairs the pupil had supported, half carried her. They entered a limo in its gray curtains drawn. At the close of the services the casket was opened, and an opportunity arose when Mrs. Johnson for the last time, Johnson himself was the first to pass the oier, and as he did so the crowd became hushed, and the movement in the ables ceased. Johnson bent down and kissed the pailied clay on the brown and turned away, the great frame baked with emotion. He sobbed as could as the lenient procession of the children, the others who woe unmashed as they raised, were "Tom" Flaugran, Jackarry, were "Furie" Abe, Harris Jack, hurry and a score of lesser pugilists, many white people in the line. The palliate friends were Johnson's intimate friends of both races and included his rulers. Afro-American detectives from the city force, and businessmen from the city force, can capture the church, twenty mounted police ound themselves hard put to it to make a path for the cortege, which wormed its way through the thouands. Burial was at Graceland cemetery, where brief services were held. The throngs pushed eagerly forward as the casket was carried to the vault by six pall bearers. In the crowd the whites greatly outnumbered the blacks. bushing over each other, elkings in the cemetery nearly separated the mourning party. It was with difficulty that Jack Curry, ormerly Jack's manager, was able to keep his feet as he helped to support Mrs. David Terry, mother of the dead woman. AS TO STATE'S RIGHTS, ETC. Among the 42 proposals (amendments) to the constitution of the state of Ohio, submitted about two weeks ago to the voters of that state, and which was defended was "Federalism," written from the suffrage clause of the Ohio Constitution, and so far as the constitution of that state is concerned, the Negro could be denied the right of suffrage. Of course, they are not actually denied the right because the federal government has denied the suffrage because of "trace, color or previous condition of servitude." Charleston (W. Va.) Mountain Leader The federal constitution provision, to which our conferee calls attention, is effective only in federal elections—where candidates for presidential electors and for congress are to be voted for—and is not effective in state elections, where all candidates from Governor down to the constable are to be voted for. This the state has absolute control of (states' rights) according to a decision, many years ago, of the United States supreme court. Over one million Afro-American voters in the south are thus legally disfranchised in the state elections and illegally restrained from voting for candidates for presidential electors and for congress (federal elections). With the word "white" in the sutrage clause of the new Ohio constitution, the Afro-American voters of Ohio will stand as they always have under the present or old state constitution, without the legal right, or to be technically correct without the legal privilege of voting in state elections. The present or old Ohio constitution was adopted before the war of the rebellion and, consequently, before the emancipation, Jan. 1, 1863. Continuing, our esteemed conti- porary, the Mountain Leader, says: Ohio must be numbered among the other Negro-hating commonwealths of this country. After carefully studying the attitude of the various states as to their Colored citizens, we have reached the conclusion that West Virginia | the garden spot of the world for the boys in black. The "other Negro-hating states," in this country, means all of them, in including our birth-state, West Virginia where a notoriously innocent Afro- American was lynched, a few weeks ago, by a mob of white brutes, lynch murders.

For the seventeenth time in three years the microscopic South American state had undergone a change of administration, and the new potentate, President Casper the three hundred and second, had summoned an artist, and was ordering new designs for all the official uniforms. "I want something striking," he declared—"something showy, even. My people are impressed by such things I have here some sketches I made myself. Look them over, and be guided by these ideas as far as possible." The artist examined them carefully. They were gorgeous affairs. Green coats vied with crimson vests in brilliance, orange-colored trousers with scarves of Cambridge blue. All the colors of the rainbow were there. "Ah!" he said, turning the pages. "This is evidently for the navy, this for the army, this for the—this—what is this for, with the long plum on the three-cornered hat, the bright yellow dress, trimmed with purple, and—that explained the president bravely, "is it the secret police!"—London, Answers.

"This lumber is to go around some baseball grounds. Knotholes won't hurt matters any. I was a kid myself once." —Pittsburgh Post. He Had an Explanation A committee had the state senator on the carpet. "Didn't you promise if we elected you to get our country good roads?" "Why, certainly, gentlemen." "Did you do it?" "No. You see airships are getting very common now, I thought we'd better wait a few years. Maybe we won't need any roads at all then. Fine weather for corn; isn't it?" Mrs. Uptown—We're living in a much better neighborhood now. Mrs. Downtown—So are we Mrs. Uptown—Have you moved, too? Mrs. Downtown—No; we're still living on the street you moved away from. A Glorious Time "How do you like your new job? "How are you working in an antique furniture factory." "What do you do?" "Just what I've wanted to do all my life. I kick the new tables, put my feet on them, spill hot coffee and burn them with cigars and matches. I put each table through 100 years of wear in eight hours." Doesn't Get Very Far "Scriblet aspires to be an author and every time he runs across something unusual he says, 'I'm going to put that in a book!'" "Pshaw! I dare say he never puts anything in a book." "Oh, yes he does, but it's only a note book." A Curious Result "Mrs. Codgers is dreadfully afraid of emboundpoint," remarked Mrs. Gadslay. "Is that so?" chirped Mrs. Whopper. "My favorite aunt had it and the poor thing just wasted away!" TEXT TAKEN TOO LITERALLY Little Julia Was Deeply Impressed by Sunday School Lesson on Entertaining Angels. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." The foregoing quotation is from chapter xiii, verse 2, Book of Hebrews, and it is introduced solely because it constitutes a vital part of this story. Julia is ten years old and she goes to Sunday school it appears that on a recent occasion the Sunday school teacher had considerable to say about this matter of "entertaining angels unawares." Anyway, it made a deep impression with Julia. A few days after the lesson Julia's mother left her in charge of the house for a few hours. When the mother returned she went to a particular cup in the cupboard to extract therefrom one-half dollar. In this cup is kept the family pin money, and Julia's mother knew that she had put fifty cents there before she had gone out. But the half dollar was gone. There was an expression of anxiety on Julia's face and mother scented mischief. "Did you take that money?" asked the mother, somewhat severely. Julia broke into tears. "I gave it to a man that came to the back door," sobbed the little girl. "Gave it to a man!" exclaimed the mother. "What for?" "I thought he might be God," tearfully replied Julia.—Kansas City Star. Mualled Knocks "Verena, bring Ulele Elijah another napkin; he has tucked that one under his chin." "I was only joking when I said you had been calling on the manicure, Mr. Plimmus; I can see that you haven't." "It's awfully good of you to stay so long this evening, Mr. Spooner, suffering as you must be those tight shoes." "How much trouble it is to look after boys! I don't wonder, Mrs. Chucksley, that you seldom have time to wash Bobby's face." "Clarence, dear, are you starting a beard, or have you merely forgotten to shave?" KEPT HIS PRESENCE OF MIND. A man in a suit sits in a chair, talking to another man in a suit. A New York farmer visited a dentist in one of the up-state cities, to be treated for an ulcerated tooth. The dentist advised taking gas as it would only make a difference of 50 cents and spare much pain, at the same time showing his machine and explaining its workings—how he would fall asleep for a minute or two and then would awake with tooth and pain gone. At last the patient consented and took out his wallet. "Never thought I would do that," the doctor "I wasn't thinking of paying" responded the patient, "but I thought if I was going to sleep I'd like to count my money first." Wanes No Object. "Can't you get any work?" asked a woman of the tramp who had applied at the back door for food. "Yes, ma'ma," he retorted. "I was offered a steady jub by the man who lives down the road in that big white house." "That's Mr. Oatseed. What was the work?" "He wanted me to get up at four in the morning, milk 17 cows, feed, water and rub down four horses, clean the stables, and then chop wood until it was time to begin the day's work." "What did he want to pay?" "I dunno, ma'ma. I didn't stop to ask."—Youth's Companion. Nautical Distinctions "How do you tell the difference between tween a yacht and a sailboat?" said the girl with the inquiring mind. "By lookin' into the pantry," replied Capt. Cleet. "If she carries plenty of refreshments and seegars, she's a yacht. - If it's mostly plain victuals she's a sailboat." A. Definition. Willie—Pa. Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith and Mr. Robinson are always talking about the "H. P." of their autos. What does that mean? Pa—in Mr. Jones' case it means "high priced." in Mr. Smith's "hit people" and in Mr. Robinson's, "half paid for"—Satire. In Boston Talkative Shopper—Don't you find that having to wait on so many fuss? disagreeable people has at least one compensation—that of making you forget your phone number. Cultured Salesley—Oh, yes; it acts as a counter irritant—Judge. Progress "I see you devote a great deal of time explaining the exact operations of free trade and protection." Yes," replied Senator Sorghum; "I have told you it is so much that I honestly believe I am beginning to understand it myself." Natural to Him. Artist—I think I will have to give your portrait a few touches here and there. Easy Mark (sadly)—Go ahead; it wouldn't be natural if it didnt show me being 'touched.' --- PLUSH MUCH FAVORED PLUSH MUCH FAVORED IS SEEN IN ALL EXAMPLES OF THE NEW MILLINERY. Fad for Huge, Low Hats, With Little Trimming, Seems Likely to Hold Over—Some Charming Color Combinations Seen. Fall hats have been blossoming plentifully ever since early in August, and now even the fuzziest and warmest of plush and beaver and fur hats are on view. Plush in particular, fairly romps through the new millinery, figuring in every type of hat from the soft little tailored model for street and outing wear to the handsomest of big dress hats, and white plush, though lamentably impractical, takes precedence. "Oh, you can clean it easily with French chalk," the saleswoman says airily—but you can't, and there will be sad sights in connection with those white plush hats a little later when soot and dust have done their worst. While they are clean, however, they are soft and pretty and becoming, and Cassandra was a deservedly unpopular woman; so a truce to dire prophecy. There are two kinds of plush, one with thick soft velvet like pile and one with longer nap and a little more of the look of silk beaver. The latter is one more often used for the dress head and that is frequently low plain crown or slightly draped crown of this plush in white associated with a wide brim of black velvet, or black satin. A single great velvet rose white or black may be the only trimming, for the summer fad for huge low hats little trimmed, seems likely to hold over; but more often the trimming is some fancy feather set at a spiny angle or a full egret or tuft of para dise plums oddly and somewhat riskily posed. Full, fully trimming of rects concealing the hat lines are as little used as they have been during the summer. The line is the thing and in the small hats, whatever trimming is applied is likely to be narrow and high, while the trimming of the larger hat is usually low and unobtrusive or narrow and angling. Fashions in Ostrich Plumes. There are, of course, many exceptions to this rule. Beautifully shaded or plain toned ostrich plumes curl out over some of the wide brims or around low crowns, but so far few of them stand up in the old dashing fashion. Large tulle bows do blur the outlines of some of the hats, but these bows appear most frequently upon medium sized hats, not upon the large shapes, and often the hair is of the tulle, with touches of far to lend A a cold weather appropriateness. Pretty hats of this type are shown in soft But browns with narrow lines of skunk or other dark furs and a little dull gold lace here and there under the brown tulle. Attractive all black hats of tulle are numerous, too, but will doubtless give way as cold weather comes on. Big, soft, draped velvet or plush crowns on the Tam O'Shanter order are seen in both large and medium sized hats, and among the innumerable black and white models offered for "first hats" there are many whose lightly draped crowns are of white satin, while the brims are of black velvet or black satin beaver. These black and white hats are legion, particularly among the small, semi tailored hats, and there is little that is new in shape among them. The lines follow very closely those of the summer small hats, and originality is obtained only by some novelty in the fancy feather or bow of cockade with which the shape is trimmed. Some of the small soft hats of this comfortable and practical sort are in charming colors, soft old reds, for ex ample, and lovely tones of brown and yellow. One extremely good looking imported model with round crown and close rolling brim was in chamois color or beaver, soft and phibile as velvet. The brim was faced with dark brown, velvet, and, oddly enough, but most effectively, the trimming was a slightly draped bands of thick, soft smoky gray silk embroidered in dull gold. The color scheme sounds unattractive but on the contrary was exceedingly successful. Dark Blue Continues Popular. Dark blue is a popular millinery color, as it has been during the summer, and is frequently combined with white, after the fashion of the black and white models, or is relieved by a lighter vivid blue or some one of the vieux rouge tones. Autumn Fashion Notes Winter hats will have a choice of blossoms for their adornment in a variety of material and color hitherto unknown in millinery circles. The hues will, of course, be of a more subdued character than the summer ones, and the materials used in the makeup of the flowers will be specially made to suit the weather. Rainproof roses will be seen, and artificial flowers will be created in fabrics immune from the onslaught of fog or snow. In order that the flowers shall have ors in millinery and is used even more for trimmings than for hat shapes. This color tones down satisfactorily most of the brilliant hues and in fur, marabout, velvet, tulle, etc., gives good trimming effects.' A draped toque of glowing geranium red, for example, has taupe marabout next the face and a feather fancy of marabout and heron posed at a curious angle. Moleskin is much used also to sound the modish taupe note in millinery, and there are quantities of chic little toques fashioned from this fur and matching velvet or silk or felt, with some dull gold or silver ornament or a dash of bright color as a relieving note. Harbark bits of embroidery in bright woods or silks trim some of these fur toques and similar small shapes in velvet, beaver or plush. Another trimming fancy suitable only for the little outing or tailored hat is the use of tiny narrow leather straps and buckles or tiny gold buttons, such as are provided in various gay colors for the ornamentation of white or black belts. Several of these set one above another on the front of a soft, round crown roll brim hat in plush, beaver or velours make a smart trimming for the outing hat, but she idea is of course merely a passing fad and will soon be tiresome Preferred Hat Shapes The small high shapes or small shapes trimmed high will in all probability take the lead as first hats for autumn wear, consorting anically with the tailored costumes which are the first essential of the fall outfit, and the French designers have sent over many of these on Girondin, Marquise and various nondescript lines. For their trimming, as has been said before, are the high narrow bows and cockades and feathers. A single ostrich plume standing straight and curling over and forward at the end is posed on the front in some of these small models and often this plume shows wonderful shading through several colors. Coque feathers, too, are used to lend height, and various uncurled feathers are pressed into service. But quite in contrast to these high arrangements are low trimming even on certain types of small hats, an ostrich plume, for instance, curling around the hat and falling low over the ear and throat or even over the shoulder. Trimming is set under the hat brim, too, flat wings or bows or plumes that depart from their flatness to droop low at side or back. The mustard and sulphur yellows and the Raphi shades are modish in millinery, black usually toning down their brightness and making them less trying to the average complexion. A Tuscan hat, lined with soft white straw and edged with black velvet is the subject of the illustration. Tea Gowns of Ninon. Some of the bordered nippons that have been so prevalent during the summer, and were in many quarters appreciably reduced in price during the recent sales, fashion into the daintest tea gowns under deft manipulation. By a process of mitered corners the borders can be arranged to run up either front, as well as round the hem, while in these days of daringly apparent seams the remainder of the story becomes a mere bagatelle. Over a basis of soft white satin draped with point de Bruxelles lace there was arranged a sort of tunic coat of rose nippon, bordered with a gold design, a sash of old blue crepe defining the waist of underdress, and only really revealing its presence just in the immediate center front. The ensemble was quite lovely. Smart Fall Costume A lovely little gown for smart afternoon wear, which would be equally useful on autumn days with rich furs, and which bears the unmistakable cachet of everything which emanates from Paris is carried out in satin meteore, in a pale copper shade, shot with flageolet green, and is encrusted with fancy net and lace embroidered in buff and gray flowers, while it is everywhere edged with little bullonnes of its own material. The corsage is scooped in out deep oval over a vest of black net over white, and there are big cut jet buttons for further decorations, and a great chou of flageolet green and copper silk on one side. Pretty Hat Scarfs For the outing hats there are to be had "that scarfs" of Roman ribbon, in soft tones from dark shades to light; these cost $1.10 to $1.35, and can be added to any hat at home, giving just the little touch which takes off the shop look. These ribbons are especially excellent for the hats of Panama straw. Another ribbon novelty for the hat is an imported butterfly bow of taffeta. The ribbon is dotted like the wings of a butterfly, and comes with a set of six small pins, which fasten it in butterfly form; a large tinsel "body" comes for the center of the bow. This is all the trimming a simple hat would require. Swiss Dresses for Tota Dresses of dotted swiss are being shown for the small tots. Many of these have insets of Irish laces or a combination of Irish and one of the pretty shadow laces, for even the little folks have more than one kind of lace introduced into their frocks this fall. Some of these swiss dresses are designed along empire lines, while others have the long-waisted effects so becoming to certain types of children. Dainty little sashes are worn with three dresses, or if the mother does not care for these, the frocks may be worn perfectly plain. an appropriate setting there will be a change in the winter hat itself. During the coming autumn a large quantity of black chip hats are to be imported from Italy, and in one quarter it is stated that no fewer than two million dozen of these hats will shortly come on the market.

Camille du Gast, has again cov ered herself with political and phil- anthotic glory by carrying to a successful issue a difficult mission in Morocco. In trusted to her by the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of agriculture. A. Mme. Du Gast is the tallest and one of the richest and most accomplished widows in Paris. Unlike most French women she is quite blonde, with a hint of Titan red in her hair. Though not in the flush of youth, she returns from her trip in Morocco with the bloom of health and vigor fresh upon her. Mme. du Gast is the widow of the former partner of Dufayel, one of the richest merchants in Paris and the owner of one of the few private residences in the City of Light which tourists and natives alike go to see. Mme. du Gast has been a widow for fully a score of years, during which time her heart and hand have been vainly sought by the first nobles of France. Among other aspirants was the Duke de Talleyrand, then Prince de Sagan. On one occasion the Duke chastised an unchivalrous judge who made inappropriate remarks about a masked portrait of Mme. du Gast. It is a moot question whether Mme. du Gast or the Countess de Bearn ranks first among the wealthiest of Paris widows, but the former has the most tenants. For on her rent roll there are the names of 400. She is a woman of many accomplishments and is the best amateur pianist in Paris. Presently, she is to tour the United States. A strong advocate of an entente cordiale between the two republics, Mme. du Gast believes the best way to develop it is by social, musical, literary, scientific and commercial intercourse. She was born in Paris and is president of the Society of Native-Born Parisians. Once a month this society gives a dinner at which Mme. du Gast presides. On these occasions typical Parisian wit, which has the finest flavor in the world, may be heard. The recent visit of Mme. du Gast to Morocco was not her first. Two years ago, when M. Pichon was minister of foreign affairs, she visited that interesting country. She saw the Sultan, gave him gifts from France and accepted the safe conduct of his bodyguard. When she returned to Paris a book of hers on Morocco was published from the government printing presses. Her recent trip was not devoid of adventure. She and her companion were about to be made prisoners by a Moorish band when Calds A Flou and Guellough came upon the scene. Recognizing the great Frenchwoman, they not only prevented her capture, but chivalrously loaded her with gifts. Mme. du Gast has brought back with her many studies of flora and fauna and of the industrial resources of Morocco; also wild animals that will be added to the collections of the Zoological gardens of Paris—the Jardin des Plantes and the Jardin d'Acclimation. That there has been a political and diplomatic side to Mme. du Gast's visit everyone knows, but its precise nature is secret. She is quite friendly with the present Sultan of Morocco and her visit helps greatly to smooth the rocky road of the French protectorate. QUEEN OF SWEDEN'S GRANDSON AMBITIOUS To many visitors to the Swedish capital during the Olympic games the simplicity of life of the Swed. is royal family came as a revelation. Yet, while their habits are democratic, they with enthusiasm for the army, and all are attached to one or more regiments. A The queen herself sets the example by acting as honorary commanding officer of the Thirty-fourth Pommeranian Fusiliers, whose uniform she dons on ceremonial occasions. Not only are her sons and brothers-in-law equally prominent in encouraging Swedish military ardor, but the crown prince's eldest son, Prince Gustave, though only six years old, is the merry honorary lieutenant of a cavalry regiment and is ambitious already to become commander-in-chief of the army. The military tendency in his case is hereditary on both sides, for his mother is the elder daughter of the Duke of Connaught and tremendously popular in Sweden. Her second son, little Prince Sigvard, aged five, also has military aspirations. Just as England is ever haunted by the specter of a German invasion, so many Scandinavians believe that if Sweden's army comes to a clash it will be with the forces of the Czar, bent on making an outlet for Russia on the open Atlantic. But this fact does not minimize the popularity of the Russian wife of the queen's second son, Prince Charles Wilhelm. Time to Be Silent Especially when there is excitement rife in a community hold your tongue. The time is ripe for scandal; every one talks, equally every one repeats, and the simplest remark is distorted out of all semblance of truth. And Neither Mean Anything. A woman is always fond of talking about what she would do if she were a man, while a man contents himself about talking about what he wouldn't do if he were a woman.
