What Congress has done New York City. — President-elect Woodrow Wilson, according to well authenticated statements made here, has determined upon his course so far as are concerned the earliest moves of his term in office. According to those statements, this will be the program for the opening of the Sixth third congress: There will be an extra session of congress to enact into law the party's pledges for a downward revision on many schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Champ Clark of Missioniri will be re-elected speaker of the house of representatives and Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama will retain the majority leadership and the chairmanship of the ways and means committee, which will draft the new tariff bill.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Fifteen persons were killed and as many more seriously injured when Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton passenger train No. 36 struck an open switch and crashed head-on into a freight train at Arlington-av, Irvington, a suburb. Carl Gross, head brakeman on the freight train, said the switch had been left open by one of the men on his train and was borne out in his statement by R. C. White, division supervisor of the Broad, Neither Gross nor White named the man, whom they suggested as responsible. Coroner Durham of this county began an investigation at once. The wreck caught fire, but was put out before any damage was done. Most of the dead were found in the wreckage of the first car, which telescoped the baggage car. The two engines were almost completely telescoped. They reared up when they came together, and were so wrecked that it was not until after daylight that the body of the dead engineer on the passenger train was found in the cab. He had remained, trying to bring his train to a halt. The baggage car was badly splintered, but the two passenger coaches just behind looked more like kindling wood. They were completely telescoped. The entrance between the cars was so jammed that holes had to be cut in the sides and tops to take out the dead and injured. The heavy tender of one of the locomotives was thrown onto the main track by the impact. The freight were not nearly so badly damaged. TURK SEEKS AN ARMISTICE TURK SEEKS AN ARMISTICE Ottoman Government Takes Up Negotiations With Bulgars for the Cessation of Hostilities. Constantinople.—It was officially announced here that the Ottoman government has taken up direct negotiations with the Bulgars for an armistice. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief, has received instructions to open communications with the Bulgarian officers on the field and an envoy is on his way to the Bulgarian headquarters beyond the Tchatalja line of forts. Accepting the advice of Russia, the porte instructed Nazim Pasha to ask for an armistice of eight days, pending the opening of direct negotiations. The porte resolved upon this course because the powers showed a disinclination to take up the mediation proposal, and upon the advice of the St. Petersburg government. Beaten and demoralized, without hope of reorganization in time to make an effective stand against the enemy, the Turks realize the further futility resistance. Railroad Officials Quit Jobs. New York City - Melville E. Ingalls of Cincinnati, chairman of the board of directors of the Big Four railroad, declined re-election to office. Philadelphia, Pa - James McCrea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad公司 has resigned. Take effect Jan. 1. Vice President Samuel Rea, who has served the road in many capacities, was elected to succeed him. Mr. McCrea's resignation is in keeping with the policy of the road to retire its officers at a certain age limit. Mr. McCrea is 65. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some people will, always, tend to retrogression, however favorable might be the circumstances by which they are surrounded; because they delight in that excitement which ever keeps their footsteps in the foreground and expose them to the shaft of public criticism. Unfortunately, that element is little hampered by shame or self-respect; hence ridicule, a weapon most effective in the correction of abuses where reason rules, is powerless in their case. In localities where ignorance, superstition and general deprivacy are sufficiently densed as to become noticeable, the strong arm of the law is the only agency able to cope with the situation; and, at times, its skill is baffled in the handling of conditions. The most intelligent sometimes err; but mistakes of the head when good is intended may not be attributed to sordid design these are not excusable in the eyes of the law. But, when the miscreant willfully and maliciously tramples upon the rights of individuals and disregards sacred privileges which belong to others, he violates the cause of humanity, which the violation to the penalty which that violation invites. The short-comings of these irresponsibles do much to retard the building of communities, and obstruct the trend of healthy growth. The most class of human vermilin has ever been the bane of the populace to which it was allied; and to accomplish beneficial results. All races have their failures—the virtues and their vices—but the crimes and follies which they commit (except the negro) are charged to the culprits who perform the acts. Prejudice is blind to merit, and does not always give credit where it is due; yet it scruples not, for the sins of a part, to cast aspersions upon the whole. The negro, amid his peculiar environments, has much to bear; and the load of the better element is made more burdensome because he is compelled to bear the stigma which the thoughtless of his own people evokes. Therefore, in order to safeguard every interest which concerns the body and protects the good name of each worthy son, it is well that the pulpit, press and lecture platform make a general crusade against this tendency to riotous inclinations, and strive to elevate their sentiments to nobler heights. There is nothing so disturbing to the harmony of society as the criminals in its midst; nor could there be anything more destructive to its welfare. There have been too many fancy ideas of education. Too many of our young people who have completed courses of study in college find themselves handicapped in the world from the fact that they don't know how to do anything. They have acquired certain knowledge, but they can't apply it. This circumstance is detrimental. We want men and women of action. We commiserate, to say the least, the young man who has spent several years in college acquiring knowledge of mathematics, language and science, and then goes out into the world unable to render the people practical, efficient service. On the other hand, we must regard him as educated, though he might have never spent a day in college, who is able to achieve some victory for the race and thus increase admiration for it on the part of the outside world.—Savannah Independent. The report of the American Church Institute for Negroes presents on the one hand an array of facts highly creditable to the colored people, but on the other a statement of conditions by no means satisfactory to either whites or blacks. Since emancipation the negro, starting without a dollar and without education, has acquired ownership of 24,000 square miles of land, has established more than 500,000 homes owned in fee simple, has built and maintains upward of 26,000 churches valued at nearly $30,000,000 and has expended more than $25,000,000 for his own education. Against that bright showing stands the portentious fact that after all this progress, conditions remain such that of 3,000,000 negro children of school age less than 1,000,000 regularly attend school, and that of those that attend, the training is meager because of the short terms. It is clear that in this respect the negro is not getting his share of the advantages common to other races in the Union. The day never comes for a woman to realize the futility of powder. The reason for the sinking of the Titanic and the sacrificial offering of human lives was the direct result of carelessness on the part of a British sea captain; avarice on the part of British ship owners, and the same is the cause of Afro-Americans not making greater material progress; racial jealousies and petty prejudices—Cadiz Informer. When a woman is afraid of showing her age she tries to cover it with a coat of paint. Y FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS What can the white people of the country do to help advance the interests of the ten million negroes, who contributed in 1911 over $700,000,000 to the wealth of the nation, and showed unusual activity in the work of building up business enterprises? It is true that the negro has succeeded in spite of opposition, lack of training, and the schemes of designing men. Nevertheless the fact remains that where the negro has had a sympathetic contact with the best white people, he has made the greatest progress and has suffered least from wasted activity. The white people of this country can do a great deal of good by encouraging the negroes to begin business operations, and to follow out the suggestions which Dr. Washington and others offer. White people can explain the methods that they have found to be of value to them and point out some of the pitfalls of business life. They can do what Julius Roebenkald, president of the Sears, Roebenkald company of Chicago, recently did—speak with perfect frankness out of their rich business experience and give that wholesome advice which has already been perfectly squared with practice in and out of business life. They can give publicity to the good things that they know concerning negroes. They can keep an open mind on the race question and deal with negroes as men and women who are struggling valiantly for the higher things of life. They can be generous, hearted, sympathetic, and fair in all their relations with the colored man. Through co-operation in its various phases, through understanding based upon helpful contact, and through justice itself will the white people and the black people of this country continue to secure the blessings of earth. Southern Workman. We wonder if the negro will ever see the folly of having everything going out and nothing coming in? There is only one way in which to force white men to realize the necessity of giving us a square deal and that is by touching their pocket books. So far as insurance is concerned we have negro companies just as solvent, just as able financially to guarantee you insurance protection as any white companies operating in the state. Suppose that the negroes had the confidence in them they ought to have and would join them as readily, don't you see that you could demand employment for your boys and girls which they could not hope to get otherwise? Let's get together on these questions. —Louisville Defender. Dr. A. Clayton Powell goes at the matter in the right way to correct the evil when he shows by statistics that the negroes of Harlem, in New York city, spend $4,500,000 annually for food and clothing, the profit of which must be $810,000, much of which should be handled by negro business men. How much of it is handled by them? Encourage the young folks to go into business, however small the beginning, and patronize them as well as the old ones who are already established and fighting to succeed. —New York Age. Mrs. Emma M. Nakulna is a water rights commissioner under the territorial government in Hawaii. Mrs. Nakulna is an American woman, granddaughter of Captain Metcalf of the Eleanor. She lives in Kailhlu. Ninety thousand persons have paid a penny each for admission to the famous maze at Hampton Court Palace this summer, the largest number for some years. It is estimated that about 25 per cent of these were foreigners, mostly French and German. During August 24,000 people passed through the turnstiles. For a number of years the takings at the maze were the perquisites of one of the palace attendants, upon whom the right to collect and retain them was conferred by the late Queen Victoria. Since his death a few years ago the takings have gone to his majesty's office of works. The negro in the short period in which he, as a free man has conducted his own operations has done much that the world commends; but there are still disagreeable associations which he needs to ignore if he would win the recognition of the more worthy of mankind. Discourage rowdyism, drunkenness and kindred errors. Drive from companionship the worthless parasite; keep to up right conduct, and in the not far distant future the negro will come into his own—Atlanta Phalanx. A woman consciously dislikes; a man unconsciously hates. Show your hand and perhaps the other fellow will hide his face. Every day teaches us how much or life there is still to know. To be patient with fate and with those whom fate seems to have stricks en should be commensurate. To trust is to lead others to be trust worthy. - f { PUBLISHED EVERY SATUROAY ————— SUBSCRIPTION RATES (in Advance) One Yoar...csecceeeeesess 81:80 be Monthe. 2.02.2. 20L0L 1.00 ‘Three Monthe.... ccc. 80 Gubscribers are requested to re mit by postoffice money on der or registered letter.

THE SOUTH’S SEPARATE SCHOOL aVaTEM. 4 The wecent complaint of our people ‘of Richmond, Va.. that the separate fechools «conducted for them by the ‘white ‘board of education there, pre: wented their cliildren from acquiring faaiuing in the commercial school: of that city, ealls attention to the recent Sequiry and reports of Atiants, Ga. Uasversity, en the separate school system of the south which are caus- 40g eonsidersble adverse criticism upos the part of many fair daily pa- pers and magazines published in the north, particularly In the east. The scope of the inquiry was wide, tnfor mation coming from the following sources; annual reports of the U. 8. Commissioner of Education; State school reports, past and present; re- plies of city superintendents to cer. tain questions; and replies of teach- ers and educators in all parts of the South. A large part of the univer- sity's work, of course, was with en- yollment obtained from.aNl the South- erp states and compared with the au- chante satiation Of tho vast, the com parison the following m- portant conclusion: ‘That there bas been in recent years wo marked increase in the average daily attendance of Negro children in the public schools. ‘That the percentage of Negro chil dren of school age enrolled in the public schools has decreased in the last twenty years. ‘That without doubt the proportion of Negro children in average daily at- tendance in the public schools has greatly decreased in the last decade and in the last two decades. ‘The nub of these three conclusions fs that no serious attempt is being made in the South to offer to all Ne- groes of proper age an opportunity for education. As a matter of fact, a still stronger statement might be made without fear of contradiction, vis: that in many parts of the South there is deliberate effort to keep the Negro from getting an education. In most: Southern states, it should be remembered, there is a dual system of schools, involving separate schools for whites and Negroes. And in most Southern states, as might be expected, the larger sums of money are spent on the white schools irrespective of the number of persons they are sup- posed to benefit. Here are 2 few typi- cal figures: South Carolina, 1900— Cost of Schobls Age (5-18, 1908-9) White ....$1,590,782.51 201,868, Negro...

And it may be further stated that there appears to be similar discrimination in Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louis ana and Arkansas. The showing in Kentucky and Maryland and Tennes. see is slightly better, and fairly de- ‘cont in Texas and Missouri, “The per capita cost of education, the smount of money spent on each child in the White schools and in the Negro schcols make some interesting and instruct- ive reading. Here are a few figures taken at random Schools State White Negro Georgia ............ $11.80 $6.80 Miselasippl .o.0..... 1887 4.2 South Carolina ..... 498 142 Other statistics bearing on the gen- eral situation show that Negro school houses are cheaper in every way, have amaller amounts spent on them for repairs and that teachers in the Negro schools are paid much lower galuries than ‘teachers in the white schools. Mentfon has been made of the dual school system. ‘The continu: ation of this system is perhaps made necessary by local conditions, but the great difficulty in a prover adminis. tration of it Iles in the fact that in very few of the southern states is there any attempt to give the Colored péople a voice in the direction of their ‘own schools. Superintendents and teachers are usually chosen by the white voters and lack of intelligent supervision is plainly apparent. In Tact, Negro schools are often abso: lutely neglected, And all this in face of the fact that the Negroes in most States are paying an educational tax that ‘brings in more money than is Spent on thelr schools. 1. That the overwhelming major ity of Negro children of school zge are not in schools. 2. ‘Tift the chief reason for this is ithe "lack of school facilities; and a further reason is the poverty and ig norance of the parents. 3. ‘That those Negro children who are in school are as a rule poorly taught ‘by half prepared and poorly paid teachers and through short terims of three to six months a year 4, ‘Phat the school houses and equipment for Negro schools are for the most part wretched and inade- quate. 5. ‘That the ‘Neero schools as a rule receive little or no helpful su- perintendence from the school author- itles. 6 That the result and apparently one of the objects of disiranchisement has ‘been to cut down the Negro ‘School Tund, bar out competent teach- ers, lower the grade and efficiency of the course of study and employ as. teachers in the Negro schools those willing tools Who do not and will not protest or complain. 7. That in the attempt to introduce much needed and valuable manual and industrial tring there has been introduced into the cunriculum of the Negro common school a mass of ill. consitiered, unrelated work which has overburdened the teacher and pushed imto the background the ‘vital studies of reading, writing and arithmetic. In a large measure this has been done with the avowed object of training Negroes as. menials and laborers and cutting them off from the higher ave- unes of iife. & ‘That the forward movement in educstion in the South during the last ten years has been openly confined almoet entirely to white people. The movement for local school taxes, bet- ter high schools, consolidation of schools und transportation of chil- dren has with small exception been encouraged und made possible among the whites and not among the Ne- groes. In many cases the Negroes have been taxed for the improvement of White school facilities, while their own schools have not been allowed to share in these improvements. 9, ‘That along with this curtailment of-elementary public education for Negroes has gone a tendency to de- ry the work cf those schools which are devoted ¢o the higher training of Hcula, to cut off Northern benevo- ence ‘and to decrease the supply of mtellectual leaders for, the Negro aan Didn't Concern Him.

Now add |, it is more hon- crable to pick cotton, humble though the position is, than’ to deplore the possibility of “workingmen to obtain the powers of government,” which this self'same paper dreaded, in case Mr. Snob Roosevelt be not’ elected!

THE MECHANICS' BANK. Editor John Mitchell, jr., President, Withstands a "Run"—Banks (white) Offer Money-Aid, Not Needed. Richmond, Va.—The "run" on the Mechanics' Savings Bank, recently, fully tested the financial soundness of that institution. J. S. Stewart appeared at the bank to draw out $10.85, Oct. 28. As it was after banking hours, W. T. Davis, the paying teller, told him to come back the next day, which he did.

In the meantime it appears that Mr. Stewart had spread the report that the bank could not meet its demands, and a "run" began. President John Mitchell, jr., directed Cashier Wyatt to pay all persons who demanded their money, and piles of money greeted the gaze of those who came after their deposits. The American National and the First National Banks offered President Mitchell any aid that he might need, and pretty soon a truck filled with all kinds of money drew up behind the bank, but, indeed, however, as the bank's reserve was sufficient for all needs. On Oct. 30 and 31, $15,407 was withdrawn, but on Nov. 1 confidence seemed to have been restored as over $5,000 was redeposit. John Mitchell, Jr. ed, white $2,000 more came in on Nov. 2, and last week added still more to the number of folk "who came back home." When State Banking Commissioner Barkside heard there was a "run" on the bank he stationed himself in the bank in order to assure all depositors that the institution was perfectly solvent. The Machanies Bank is a member of the local Clearing House Association and observes the rules laid down by the association. It is run on a computerized lines, and the new $50,000 four-story store and office building. It built, and occupies part of, renting the remainder. The bank's fixtures cost $15,000. There are 2,000 depositors and 350 stockholders. Rabbits Cause Immense Loss. Observant and experienced men compute that eight or ten rabbits eat or destroy as much grass as one sheep. As there as so many millions of rabbits in Australia, the loss in the carrying capacity of the country is appalling. The pest in New South Wales is spreading, notwithstanding all that is being done in the shape of trapping, poisoning, fumigating, and digging out. Pretty Girls and Plain Men. When a pretty woman marries a plain man it is not because she pites him. A woman loves a man because of his strength. His determination appeals to her, and wins her in the end, though she may not have been attracted to him in the beginning. Firmness compels a woman's admiration and respect, and that is the first stepping stone to love. Child-Training It is not fair to a small child for the parents or nurse to be careless about the little things that develop thoughtfulness, self-reliance and self-control in a child. Self-control is a characteristic absolutely essential to manhood or womanhood, and it is not learned in a day. It is the result of patient teaching and training through all the long years of babyhood and childhood. Thought His Duty Ended. The Duc de Raguse once explained to the Countess de Boigne the nature of his connection with the emperor as follows: "When the emperor said, 'All for France,' I served with enthusiasm; when he said, 'France and I,' I served with obedience; but when he said, 'I without France, I felt the necessity of separating from him.' Didn't Appreciate Whitman. Shortly after Walt Whitman "Leaves of Grass" made its appearance, J. T. Trowbridge was walking with Lowell in Cambridge, when the latter pointed out a door-way sign, "Groceries," with the letters set zizak, to produce a bizarre effect. "That," said he, "is Walt Whitman—with very common goods inside." Ladies' Dresses, Ladies' Underwear, Aprons and Children's Clothes made to order. Fancy Waists. Give us your Christmas Orders now.

ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD Complete Review of Happenings of Greatest Interest From All Parts of the Globe—Latest Home and Foreign Items. Politics The unofficial count of total vote for president in Illinois shows that Wilson obtained 407,470 votes, Rosewell, 391,365, and Taft 256,625. Wilson's plurality was 16,105, but he lacked 180,162 of a majority. Unofficial returns received in Albany, N. Y., indicate that the proposal to bond the state for $50,000,000 to continue the work of improving the state's highways was adopted at the election. The New York State Automobile association estimates that the proposition was carried by at least $350,000. Washington The United Daughters of the Confederacy met in Washington and laid the cornerstone of the Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery. Charles Page Bryan, United States ambassador to Japan, tendered his resignation to President Taft, who reluctantly accepted it. Mr. Bryan gave ill health, brought on by a carriage accident in Japan, as the reason for his resignation. He is now at his home in Elmhurst, Ill., receiving medical treatment. A man claiming to be Jesse Dowdell of Silverwood, Ind., who insisted on seeing President Taft to get him to lower the cost of living, was taken into custody at the White House. He was unarmed and will be examined as to his sanity. --- Postmaster General Hitchcock announced that approximately $28,000,000 had been deposited to date in postal savings depositories by 290,000 individuals, averaging $96 per depositor. The system is now operated in 12,773 postoffices and 7,357 banks have qualified to receive postal savings funds. James Bryce, British ambassador to the United States, has tendered his resignation and will return to England. There are now on the government's pension roll 538,000 soldiers and sailors, 321,932 dependents and widows and 362 army nurses, according to the annual report of the pension bureau. These include 497,263 survivors of the Civil war, and 328 widows of the War of 1812. To provide for all of them this year, $151,041 has been appropriated, a decrease of $3,276,096 from last year. Domestic Upon Mrs. Helen Dwelle Jenkins' testimony that she has no real estate and that nearly all her personal effects were turned over to Deputy Surveyservor Parr for loans made to her, Justice Schnuck, in New York, appointed Philip J. Dunn receiver of her property. Six men were killed outright and about thirty badly injured in an explosion which demolished pack house No. 3 of the Agna Powder company, three miles east of Gary, Ind. Between 1,000 and 2,000 pounds of new dynamite exploded, damaging other buildings and scattering debris over a mile of territory. There will be no special session of the Forty-seventh Illinois general assembly to elect two United States senators, one to fill William Lorimer's unexpired term, and the other to succeed retiring Senator Cullom. Attorney General Stead held that a special session would not be legal unless newly-elected members of the legislature were seated. Col. Pascual Orozco, father of the leader of the Mexican revolution in the north, was arrested at El Paso, Tex., by the military authorities and detained at the guardhouse at Fort Bliss. Army officers and secret service men refused to reveal the charge on which he is held. Personal taxes on the Astor estate were sworn off in New York. Representatives of the estate declared that October 1 the estate had in-cash $2,200,000, against which there was chargeable $3,000,000 in obligations, including the inheritance tax. A two hundred and fifty thousand dollar fire destroyed the huge power house of the western plant of the Standard Steel Car foundry in Hammond, Ind. Four thousand men were thrown out of employment indefinitely. A resident of Chicago, seeking to ease his conscience, sent Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury department a two-cent postage stamp, which he was tempted to use unlawfully. Through error the postoffice had not canceled the stamp. Four white women and a baby and nine negroes is the death of a rear-end collision between freight and excursion trains on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad at Montz, 22 miles from New Orleans, and 48 were injured, three probably fatal. After having been homeless more than half a century, the Clallam Indians in council at Port Townsend, Wash., drew a memorial to congress asking the government to comply with the Indian treaty of 1855 and to restore to them their lands. William Shapiro, co-defendant of the four gunmen indicted as the actual slayers of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, testifying at the gunmen's trial in New York for murder, identified the quartet—"Lefty Louie," "Gyp the Blood," "Whitey" Lewis and "Dage" Frank Circifol—as his passengers in the "murder car" which he drove to the Hotel Metropole, where Rosenthal met his fate. John Schrank pleaded guilty in Milwaukee of attempting to murder Theodore Roosevelt, and in his plea he sought to distinguish between an attack upon Roosevelt as a "menace" and an attack upon Roosevelt as a citizen. Municipal Judge Backus appointed a commission to inquire into Schrank's sanity. --- Theodore Roosevelt made a formal statement in New York bearing upon the election and the future of the Progressive party. In line with previous expressions of his own and of his colleagues, he reiterates that the "Progressive party has come to stay" and "so far from being over, the battle has just begun." A permanent pension and employe benefit system, affecting nearly 250,000 persons and including for the first time life insurance features, is announced by the American Telegraph & Telephone company, the Western Union Telegraph company and the Western Electric company, to become effective on January 1. The sum of $10,000,000 has been made available for the plan at the outset. The body of Capt. Samuel C. Bennett, wealthy mine owner and mine superintendent of Crystal Falls, Mich., was found floating in the waters of Pike river, a mile north of Kenosha, Wis. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that Mr. Bennett had died from heart disease and toppled over into the water. Balkan War The official Mir, in an extra edition, shows plainly that Bulgaria will join Servia in defying Austria to prevent the allies from securing a seaport on the Adriatic, even though such action may plunge entire Europe in war * * * Austria has presented a short ultimatum to Servia and declines any lengthy negotiations. The envoys of Italy and Austria at Belgrade have presented their demands to the Servian prime minister, Pasitch, who refused to accede to them, and left at once for Uskub to confer with King Peter. --- The outbreak of cholera in Constantinople is assuming serious proportions. Twenty-three cases have occurred among the troops along the Tchatalja lines. There are many more suspected cases among the wounded. . . . The United States has identified itself with the Balkan situation by ordering two of its most powerful armored cruisers, the Tennessee and the Montana, from League Island to Constantinople. It is probable that one of the cruisers will go to Constantinople and the other to Beirut, where there is a very large share of American civic and educational interests. Personal William Vincent Astor will celebrate his twenty-first birthday this week. Friday he will assume full legal control of the $100,000,000 Astor estate, and will be the youngest man in the world to have in his possession such a fortune. Delegates to the thirty-second convention of the Farmers' National congress, which met at New Orleans, discussed a proposal for the merger of all agricultural associations under the name of 'the United States Country Life association. The Clinical Congres of Surgeons of North America met in New York, Dr. Edward Martin of Chicago presiding. The American Federation of Labor began its annual meeting in Rochester, N. Y., and heard President Gompers' address. The annual meeting of the American Society of Municipal Improvements met at Dallas, Tex. William R. Asher, for many years federal judge of Oklahoma territory, is dead at Fordville, N. D., after an illness of three years. Judge Asher was appointed judge of Oklahoma by President McKinley. The seventh annual meeting of the National Association of Farmers' Institute Workers is being held in Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Lamphere of Newton, Ill., celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary. Fifty-seven descendants were present. John L. Wilson, owner of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, died at a hotel in Washington, D. C., of angina pectoris, after an illness of one hour. Foreign Gen. Jose E. Maria Valladares, the noted Honduran revolutionist who in years past has caused much trouble to the governments of Honduras and Nicaragua, was killed by government troops in a skirmish near Ojotona, Honduras, his native town. Gen. Felix Diaz, condemned to death has escaped from the military prison at Vera Cruz, Mex., and is now in the United States, probably at New Orleans. The British royal commission on divorce has recommended that the two sexes be placed on an equality before the law with regard to the grounds for divorce, which shall be infidelity, desertion for three years, incurable insanity after five years' confinement and habitual drunkenness found to be incurable after three years. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1912. GREEK QUEEN IN PLEA TO WOMEN OF AMERICA Gordon Rose, special correspondent of the Chicago American, wires his pa- T per from Athens as follows: "I had the good fortune to travel on the steamer Praga from Brindish to Corinth with her majesty, the queen of Greece, from whom I obtained an exclusive statement. Her majesty traveled with her usual lack of ostentation and was ac- companied only by one lady in waiting and a courier. It was many years since I had seen her, and I thought I could recognize in her strong, thoughtful face new lines, perhaps from the worries and cares of the past few weeks. Queen Olga, who is an anunt of the czar, carries herself as one would expect—a queen. Although dressed somberly in black, the only touch of lightness was her gray hair and the natural brightness of her face, which was illuminated by her smile of recognition. Queen Olga spoke freely and declared that as a devout Christian she had a message for the women of Christendom throughout the world. She said: "Greece does not fear to throw herself into the scale. She does not fear for what she may lose, nor has she any hope of territorial aggrandement. Greece, like the other Balkan states, has a solemn duty, that of succoring Christian women and children and men suffering the barbarities of Turkish misrule. It is a strange phase of history that has made Greece the champion of Christendom, whilst the great powerful Christian nations stand aside, but this is not a question of politics—it is a question of humanity. "War can hold no horrors as bad as those of peace under the Turkish flag. There will be many families in destination because those breadwinners who have not carried the colors have come forward as volunteers. There will be many widows, many women weeping for sons who will not come back. Privation and perhaps starvation will be added to the empty chair of him who comes home no more. "Greece will do all she can to aid her people in distress, but Greece is so small and the distress is so vast that her women will sell their jewels and finery to provide for the stricken, just as they did in the last war. If the women of the great Christian nations who are not asked to sacrifice their men in this latter day crusade would but sacrifice the smallest fraction of their comforts and luxuries for a few weeks, then the men would fight with lighter hearts, knowing that their dear ones are not starving at home. "Greeks throughout the world are filled with enthusiasm. From all over Europe and Egypt and even America every incoming ship brings a load of parrots. Their enthusiasm is solid. They do not cheer or shout on this grim business. They take it earnestly. If the enthusiasm and grit of the poor man who risks his all means anything, then there is food for reflection in the question of how much civilization has borrowed from Greece." RUDOLPH SPRECKELS A WEALTHY FOE OF GRAFT Since the conviction of Abe Ruef and his associates in San Francisco, Cal., on charges of political corruption and municipal graft. Rudolph Spreckel has become a leading figure in the fights for purer politics in many large cities in the United States. It was detectives in his employ who uncovered Ruef and his methods and Cal., on charges of political corruption and municipal graft. Rudolph Spreckels has become a leading figure in the fights for purer politics in many large cities in the United States. It was detectives in his employ who uncovered Ruef and his methods and it was his cash that backed the prosecution of the case. Mr. Spreckels is a son of Clans Spreckels, who buildup up a great fortune in the sugar business, which figured recently in the investigation of the Sugar trust. He is a brother of John D. Spreckels, who is identified with a great many enterprises in San Francisco and along the Pacific coast and is owner of the San Francisco Call. Mr. Spreckels inherited much of his wealth but even now, in addition to his business, he finds much time to devote to politics and to the driving out of crooks and grafters wherever they may be found. Women Students In Germany Women Students in Germany. Nowhere in the world have the universities a more masculine outward aspect in German, and if we urge by recent statistics, feminism is surely gaining ground even in these strongholds. It is now only four years since women were by law allowed to study at German universities. Now they represent five per cent of the incorporated students. Berlin counts 845 (by far the largest number); Munich 255; Goettingen, 224; Munich, 188; Heldelberg, 165; Freiburg, 149; Breslau, 134, and Leipzig, 103. To this total it is necessary to add nearly 1,800 unattached students, making the grand total of women students in Germany 4,500. The majority are Protestants or Jews. Very few are Catholics. The courses of study most in favor with them are philosophy and history. A Strong Character "Mrs. Twobble is a very superior woman." "I know she has great personal charm, but why do you say she is superior?" "Because she is the only woman in our neighborhood who didn't get excited over Mrs. Vanderbilt's latest blow-out at Newport." Foredoomed. "Dubbs seems to think he's a man of destiny." --- FACTS FEATURES and FANCIES for WOMEN PARIS.—There is always a period when the writers of fashions wander about in a veritable haze of perplexity, hesitating to say what will be the best style or what will not. On one side they hear rumors of sensational and drastic changes; on the other that the changes will be scarcely noticeable, and will consist merely of modifications of what is the present mode. As a matter of fact, during that painful time nobody really knows, and it is not until the autumn races commence in Paris and the Parisians, who are responsible for most of the fashions, return that one can speak wind and weather society has been moment has arrived, for in spite of wind and weather societyl has been attending the races at Chantilly for a week or more, and on Sunday the first of the large meetings will begin at Longchamps. Now we can all talk as glibly as we please, for once things are worn the agony is over. The changes, for of course there are always these changes to be noted, that have evidently come to stay, by no means sensational nor drastic, but they are improvements and in some cases marked ones. The first is that longer skirts are sure and certain, and the second is the decided differences in the materials that are being used. Long. Slim Look Retained. Fortunately, the long skirt is not going to appear for street frocks, but only for afternoon gowns and for those intended for evening wear. There is no doubt but what these are far prettier and more graceful than the much abbreviated skirts that have been worn in all occasions, even the most informal. Some of these newest ones are so little on the ground that one would hardly notice that they train, but they fall with just the least bit of flare about their lower edge and are possibly an inch on the floor. Others, afternoon, as well as evening gowns, show decided trains, some being small and pointed, others fairly long and showing a more generous allowance of material in their sweeping lines. None of them has the drawn in appearance of the trained skirt of a season or more ago, for if the skirt is narrow the front and sides are invariably slightly lifted to display a petticoat beneath, or there are cunning little lace plaitings that are insertion in the bottom of the skirt to give it extra fullness. In this manner the long, slim look that women have found to be becoming is all with this they have greater freedom of movement and have lost that constrained walk that was a necessity with the mode of 1811 Materials are the important things now, for it is principally by these that the latest styles can be determined. The great novelty is in the employment of all sorts of brocaded effects for every kind of costume, from street suits to gorgeous ball and dining toillets. They consist of broche silks, figured silks, and satins, stamped velvet and matelasse velvet, plush that has designs sprinkled over its surface, ribbed silks that are also figured (the effect of this being unusual, and of heavy satin damask with marvelous patterns of conveniences on birds, covering them in addition to being brocaded or figured, some of these fabrics are given the appearance of being quilted, and this is used for petticoats that appear beneath satin gowns or for parts of draperies that are only slightly lifted up. Fabrics More Than Sumptuous All these stuffs are remarkably rich in appearance, and for those who thought the height of luxury in woman's dress had been already reached last season the output of fabrics this year would be a revelation. Sumptuous is the only word that nearly describes them, but even this falls short of the mark. Along the same line as the materials for dresses come the stuffs that are being shown for evening cloaks and wraps, with this difference, that the latter are frequently combined with the latter and the effect. This satin backgrounds show gold threads worn into them and over this a stunning design done in velvet or plush, or there are ribbed silks which show every other cord in gold or silver tinsel, which may be also brocaded in dull colors or in black or white, both being in velvet. Materials for Practical Use. In addition to all these silk and satin materials there is a great variety of others to be seen which are intended for more practical use. These include, first and foremost, velvets, chiffon, and otherwise, which later in the season will undoubtedly take the place of many of the satin brocades now being worn for the street, velour de laines, which are now to be had having plain surfaces, and those ribbed and striped and which have a finish that greatly resembles velvet camel's hair, which is being made up into tailor costumes in place of satin; eponge, of an extra Ribbons Must Be Gorgeous. The ribbons to be used this season must be classed as splendid, for their royal bues and gorgeous motifs are unlike anything which has been displayed so many years. One in blue vel- vet, roses, embossed, is $1.50 a yard. This one is sash width, and the blue is the misty dawn-blue which harmonizes with any attire, and can be used for evening or day wear. Another in rose pattern and the same width is in gold or black in brocade weave. This one is $11.50 a yard, but ordinarily heavy quality; ratine, and of course serge, but of a coarse quality. Some of it, in fact, is heavy enough for automobile coats and is used for them, having the appearance of the rough and ready to wear that is especially attractive for this purpose. It is always a problem to say what is to be the color of the season, but if a choice must be made then one would say that for street and much day time wear purple and the shades of prune, amethyst, and dark mauve take the preference. Certainly for hats purple is much to the fore, for these are being worn for every kind of occasion and in every shape and style. Red for street use is also having its lining, and some of the tailor frocks that are being shown by the great dressmakers are of this color and in really dazzling shades. Combined with dark turs or with some of the shades of fox, these red costumes are lovely and give a note of change among the many dull tints worn. Black Tailored Suits Everywhere. Blue in faded tones is more than fashionable for house dresses, and for evening wear there are being some beautiful combinations of bronze and of this shade with gold or amber. For the conservative woman black is always "the thing," and as always this will be worn more than any color no matter what fashion or the dressmaker will decree. Black tailored suits are to be seen everywhere, sometimes brightened with a touch of color on collar, cuffs and waistcoat, but frequently with nothing more than a band of fur at the neck and a lace jabot with ruffles in the sleeves to match. Black com- A woman in a long coat and hat stands with a suitcase. bined with gray does not sound effective, but when used by an artist and in just the proper degree it is one of the popular combinations. Black camel's hair costumes trimmed with chinchilla are exceedingly smart, and the same material combined with chinchilla, plush, and a touch of brilliant flame color to give it character, is ravishing pretty. Skirts Still Narrow. Now comes the question of the tight or nontight skirt. Early in the fall we were told that the skirt of narrow dimensions was doomed and that the day of plats, draperies, and of all sorts of looped and pandered effects was at hand. This may be true of the future, but for the present the skirt of narrow width and straight line is the fashion. There are draped skirts for the street, but the drapery is a mere pretense, there is so little of it, and what there is is so artfully adjusted that it is scarcely to be seen in the skirts are what is known as "hobble," but they are close and are as narrow still about their lower edges as they can be worn. There is a distinct partiality for jet for all beaded materials used in combinations for evening gowns. The jet generally takes the form of embroidery or it is used in outline on brocaded stuff. Jet fringe is charming on frocks of white chiffon or white satin, and it is frequently seen bordering tumes or on the ends of gathers that are draped on to trained skirts. Some elaborate evening gowns have been seen that are wholly beaded, this appearing on the bodices or in white borderlings on skirts or overskirts. Long Coat For serge or cloth the model illustrated is well suited; it is loose fitting and has the sides from shoulder to halfway down skirt part set on with wrapped seams; these have tabs cut in with them at the waist-line, a button is sewn in the rounded end of each tab. Material is used to face the collar and cuffs. Hat of straw to match, trimmed with a feather mount. Materials required: 5 yards 48 inches wide, 4 buttons, 4 yards silk or satin, for lining coat. it is a picture of beauty. Still another in this width simulates ermine, both in its plush texture and color. On either side of the wide strip of fur is an inch and a half of taffeta finished edge in reddish kingly purple tone. Not quite as wide as these ribbons, some may be obtained in moire velvet, which is very new. American Beauty red and seagull gray are two of its favored tints. This kind is much less expensive, costing but $1.75 a yard, but it is naturally much less attractive than the others. THE Sally Sweeny, Young Peasant, Resorted to Novel Manner of Recalling Message of Mistress. J. M. Caldwell, in "Old Irish Life," tella a story of a young peasant woman, Sally Sweeny, who used to do shopping for her family when they lived in the country. She could neither read nor write, yet she never made a mistake with any of the messages that were intrusted to her. Once, however, her memory did fall her. One of the ladies of the family had ordered her to bring back a yard of some color of satin, and the unaccustomed word slipped out of Sally's recollection. But she did not allow herself to be beaten without an effort to recall the word, so she went into the principal shop in Galway still thinking hard. "What isn't that ye call the divil," she asked, "whin it's not divil that ye say to him?" "Is it satan you would be meaning?" asked the astonished draper. "The very wan," said Sally de lightedly. "An 'ye'll give me a yard." A. Hanny Outlook. In Detroit they tell of a young man who, although he made a great deal of money, was always in debt because of his extravagance. Not long ago, however, he wooed and won a young woman of great wealth, and immediately things took a rosette hue. During the honeymoon the bride ventured to ask hubby whether the fact that she had money made any difference to him. "To be sure it does, my love," was the unexpected response. Whereupon wifey was a bit alarmed. "What difference?" she asked. "Why, darling," continued the husband, "it is such a comfort to know that if I should die you'd be provided for." "And if I should die?" added the bride. "Then, darling," was the reply, "I'd be provided for."—Lippincott's. Empty Plates A well-esteemed preacher in a New England community that was rather notorious for the stinginess of its inhabitants suddenly announced his resignation, and the deacons immediately sought him out for his reasons. "My decision has been brought about by the negligence of my congregation," announced the divine. "Why, sir," protested one of his hearers. "I can't see how you can accuse us of negligence. The church is crowded every Sunday." "Oh, yes," agreed the preacher; "but what I accuse them of is contributory negligence."—Lippincott's. A Sordid Affair "Digby, you are worrying about son woman." "Biffels, I am." "I knew it! She is constantly in your thoughts." "I can't get her out of my mind." "I wouldn't dream of asking you to tell me her name." "I have no objections to letting you know her name. It is Mrs. Pruner, my landlady. I owe her for six months board." "There's a lot in that girl if it can only be brought out." "Yes; she has a quarter of a million in her name." Responsibilities: "So you think there are responsibilities women should not assume?" "I can't help feeling that way," said the apologetic man.

SHOPPING IN THE USUAL WAIT While Wife Matched Some Ribbons Husband took in Cricket Game and Ride in Motor Car. Jack and Kitty have not been married very long. A few days ago they went together on a shopping expedition—to the land of frills and frocks. "Now, dearle, I shan't be long," said Kitty, as they entered the emporium. "You sit in this comfortable chair and wait while I match these two samples of ribbon." Jack sat duly in the furnishing department, and Kitty disappeared in the nether regions. "Have I kept you long, my poor dear?" asked Kitty, ally, on her return. "Oh, I haven't minded a bit!" came the reply. "I fast jumped on a car and went to the cricket match; then I had some tea and went for a ride in Fred's new motor car. Did you match your ribbons?" "One of them, dearest. But it's so provoking! I shall have to come again, for they are just closing the shop."—Tit-Bits. She Needed Proof. It was after ten o'clock at night and the jury had just been discharged. A stout juryman came over to the reporter's table. He had a worried look. "You're an Evening News man, aren't you?" "Yes." "Are you going to report this case?" "Yes." "For tomorrow's paper?" "Yes." "Would you mind putting in a line saying that the jury was out until ten o'clock?" "Tl. mention it, if you wish." "I certainly hope you will. You have no idea how much I want you to.

This recalls the story of the verger in Westminster Abbey who had a foreigner arrested for kneeling and praying in the main aisle of the building. "But," said the judge, "why do you object to the man's devotional act?" The verger was amazed. "W-why, your honor," he stuttered, "if I didn't make an example of this man people would be praying all over the place!" A Cruel Girl. "Mr. Simps, do you believe love makes the world go round?"
