ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. VALUE OF SELF HELP SHOWN McDougain Memorial Hospital Association Holds Public Meeting at the Abyssinian Baptist Church — Dr. Booker T. Washington Makes Principal Address. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—The public meeting recently held at the Abyssinian Baptist church in this city under the auspices of the McDougain Memorial Hospital association was a notable affair. It served as a fitting climax to the many worthy efforts of the colored people of this section during the year to do real constructive work for the larger development and advancement of racial institutions. The edifice was crowded from street to platform with an audience thoroughly alive to the purpose of the occasion as well as eager to see and hear the speaker of the evening, Dr. Booker T. Washington, who delivered one of his most instructive and eloquent addresses. Dr. Washington's speechmaking tour in Greater New York during the first two weeks of December was one of earnest pleading for fair opportunity for the race in the various lines of business industry as well as in social and benevolent work. The Rev. D. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian church, in introducing Dr. Washington, said: I wish publicly to express my thanks to the association for the honor you have conferred upon me. Many honors have come to me during the twenty years of my humble ministry, but allow me to assure you and your distinguished guests that none have been more heartily appreciated than the honor of presiding and presenting the speaker on this occasion. The Negroes of the northland are behind the Negroes of the southland in racial development, as is so often stated, REV. A. CLAYTON POWELL. D. D. it is because the leaders of the race in the north were so afraid of drawing the color line that they put a wet blanket over them to prevent them from being critical. For that reason we have been more dependent upon the white man in the north for the necessaries of life than have been our brothers in the south. But we have never been so dependent people are a poor and weak people. So the sensible colored men and women of the north have come to know largely that the establishment and conduct of colored Y. M. C. A.'s industrial schools, colleges, hospitals and business enterprises instead of making us unarmy like the people we are open avenues of employment for our own, but that they are institutions in which we are being taught the important lessons of the work. Another evidence of race progress is the increasing feeling of harmony among the workers and thinkers of the 10,000,000 New Yorkers so called higher or industrial education, whether we call ours radicals or conservatives, whether we belong to this or that race, whether we are the lesson that we are all looking toward and working toward one glerious end, namely, the development and uplift of the race. The colored man is against his race, who is wasting his energies fighting other colored men who do not copy his way of solving the problem. A well known white friend said to me not long ago that a certain group of people had rights of his race. I replied that he was seriously mistaken. There is not a colored man in America who does not want to work for the poor and some another, but constitution. Some may try to secure them by agitation, some by education, some by the accumulation of property, some by one way and some another, but It was my privilege recently to attend a banquet which marked an epoch in the history of the United States, the banquet 200 colored Republicans, Democrats, Progressives, Socialists, Prohibitionists and members of all leading religious denominations united in compiling a national leadership of a Negro Democrat. No people can climb to a place of prominence and power unless they are willing to follow community, county and state politics. I will be willing to follow national leadership. Mr. Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale university, said to me some time ago that I was in the world and that Dr. Washington was one of them. I was so proud of the fact that a colored man was one of the seven I forgot to ask him to name the president of the United States of presenting to this audience not only the leading Negro, but one of the most useful and distinguished citizens of the United States and one of the seven great of the world, Dr. Booker 2, Washington. FREEMAN DENTAL SOCIETY. Celebrates Twelfth Anniversary and Fiftea Officers at Banquet Elect Officers at Bainbridge Washington - Twenty-seven colored dentists sat around the banquet board recently at Williams' cafe and applauded the toastmaster, Dr W. S. Loftin, when he arose to announce that the banquet was about to begin. For fully two hours the banqueters listened to toasts sparkling with wit and humor. The occasion was the annual banquet and election of officers of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society of the District of Columbia. This is the oldest colored dental society in the United States and was incidentally celebrating its twelfth anniversary. Prior to the benquet the election of officers took place. All of the officers who served during the past year were re-elected. The roster of officers is as follows: President, Dr. C. C. Fry; vice president, Dr. A. S. Gaskins; secretary, Dr. George H. Butcher; treasurer, Dr. A. J. Gwattney; librarian, Dr. W. E. Hamilton; historian, Dr John E. Washington. Dr. Fry in his annual address made some very interesting observations. He pointed out the progress the society has made during the past year. Twenty-three local dentists are members and seven honorary members live in the adjective states of Maryland and Virginia. During the past year seven meetings were held, at each of which a paper dealing with some side of the profession was read by one of the members and discussed by the society. Official recognition has been accorded the society by the board of dental examiners of the District. On one occasion during the past year a committee from the society appeared by invitation before a congressional committee and gave recommendations concerning proposed dental legislation affecting the District of Columbia. Dr. Fry's report was a complete and exhaustive review of the past year's work. When he finished his remarks he was warmly congratulated. Dr. Roscoe C. Brown of Richmond, Va., editor of the dental section of the National Medical Journal, was present. In an address he urged the members to help him make the dental session interesting and instructive. Dr. Ferguson, *r*so of Richmond, president of the Tri-State Dental league, was also present and urged the society to have representation at the next session of the league at Buckroe Beach in June. Others out of town dentists present were Dr. Jackson of Providence, R. I.; Dr. Ramsey of Richmond, Dr. Anderson and Dr. Jones of Baltimore and Dr. Johnson of Petersburg, Va. The following dentists sat around the banquet table: Dr. Anderson of Baltimore, Dr. Butcher, Dr. Barrier, Dr. Brown of Richmond; Dr. Cherry, Dr. Edwards, Dr. Fry, Dr. Fray, Dr. Francis, Dr. Fraser, Dr. Freeman, Dr. Ferguson of Richmond; Dr. Gwattney, Dr. Gaskins, Dr. Gray, Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Johnson of Petersburg; Dr. Jackson of Providence, Dr. Jones of Baltimore, Dr. Loftin, Dr. Nailor, Dr. Ramsey of Richmond; Dr. Tancil, Dr. Sumner Wormley, Dr. Roscoe Wormley, Dr. Walker, Dr. Wilson and Dr. Wash ington. SUCCESS OF DR. CREDITT. Work of Brilliant Educator and Minister Having a Salutary Effect. Iter. Having a background in the religious and educational work of the Rev. William A. Crediti, Lk. D. of Philadelphia is having a salutary effect upon the people generally as well as upon those in his immediate sphere. Crediti is the successful pastor of the Cherry Memorial Baptist church in Philadelphia and president of the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school at Downingtown, Pa. He was for four years president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, the largest organization among the Baptist denomination in the northern and New England states. Dr. Crediti is an alumnus of Lincoln university, brilliant scholar, orator and successful pastor. The new $100,000 Cherry Memorial church edifice was built under his pastorial direction. The Downingtown school under his lead is destined to become the largest of its kind in the north among Afro-Americans. The enrollment of students at the school for 1912-13 is the largest since its beginning. Emancipation Celebration Program. Emancipation Celebration Program. The suggested program for the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation, to be held in Philadelphia, Jan. 11, 1913, prepared by R. R. Wright Ph.D., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, includes patriotic songs, readings, sermon or address and papers on various subjects in keeping with the occasion. Among the leading papers to be read will be one on "Fifty Years of Negro Progress" and one entitled "The Next Fifty Years—What? Dumbar's "Ode to Ethiopia" and the emancipation proclamation will be read, also selection from Whittier's "Voles of Freedom." Persons desiring a copy of Dr. Wright's paper on "Fifty Years of Negro Progress" should send a two cent stamp for mailing the same to their address. The pamphlet is in great demand and is sent free to all applicants. Afro-American Thrift In Allensworth. The most notable feature of advance in modern village improvement among Afro-Americans of their exclusive effort is in the town of Allensworth, Cal., where the townspeople have recently organized, equipped and installed a fire department. The personnel of the department is made up of both male and female. Brilliant Gathering of Noted Educators and Men of National Prominence Witness Ceremony—Charter, Seal and Keys of Institution Presented by Chief Justice Pelle. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington.—With impressive ceremonies and in the presence of one of the most brilliant audiences that has ever assembled in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel, Rev. Stephen Morrell Newman, A. M., D. D., was recently formally inaugurated as the ninth president of Howard university. Eighty of the leading colleges and universities of the country were represented by duly accredited educators or alumni, and there were also present the board of trustees of Howard university, the faculty and student body, the board of education of the District of Columbia and many prominent citizens. Chief Justice Stanton J. Peele of the court of claims, who is president of the board of directors of the institution, DR. STEPHEN M. NEWMAN. presided. The inaugural procession, which formed at the Carnegie library, was led by the university choir under the guidance of Miss Lula Vere Childers and Professor Roy W. Tibbs. Mr. Tibbs, a graduate of Oberlin college, composed the march used during the procession, and it had a stately swing that will commend it for similar occasions elsewhere. After a fervent invocation by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist church, and the hymn, "God of Our Fathers," by the choir, Chief Justice Peelle presented to President Newman the charter, seal and keys of the university. The charter was borne by Professor William H. Richards, LL. B., librarian of the school of law. The seal was borne by Professor George William Cook, LL. M., secretary of the board of trustees and custodian of the seal. The keys were borne by Professor Edward L. Parks, D. D., treasurer and registrar of the institution. The principle speeches of the day were delivered by President Newman, president H. C. King of Oberlin college, President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university, United States Senator Charles F. Johnson of Maine, and United States Commissioner of Education P. P. Claxton of Tennessee. The platform of Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel has been graced by many figures, eniment in the domain of letters and statecraft, but none of them has ever delivered a message more reolent with ripe learning, of broader grasp of the mission of teaching, or more indicative of deep human sympathy than that which fell from the lips of Stephen Morrell Newman as he announced his acceptance of the sacred office of president of Howard university. Dr. Newman said in part: The imaginative faculty lies at the foundation of social, moral and physical development. It is the essence of human achievement. It is common to all people, regardless of race, gender or age, when accompanied by a training that will apply it to the realities of life. Every race has the moral right to an opportunity for the training that will bring the human potential to the fullest, and the problems that it must meet and solve. Every man and woman is entitled to a chance to acquire the education best adapted to their special needs and should be encouraged to take the most effort to the fullest in working out their mission in the scheme of civilization. Back of all great achievements is this imaginative faculty. The wonderful Familias Negroes are the most attractive we have in this generation. It was the imaginative faculty of its promoters that discovered the vast possibilities that resulted in the joining of the Atlantic and the shortest of the journey by sea between the great trade centers of the world. The Negro, in common with the other peoples of the earth, is endowed with this imaginative faculty. The race should be encouraged to the greatest opportunity if the best results are to be attained. At the head of the instrumentalities for the moral, intellectual and material needs of the colorful Americans our own flowered with great teacher, teaching leaders to teach others how to lead. It is the Negro's role in the creation of the race's ideals in the forward movement of the twentieth century. To perpetuate its spirit of equality, freedom, and Christian brotherhood practical culture I pledge my best endeavors. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. SINGLE COPY AFRO-AMERICA Does the negro in our country have a fair chance as compared with the native black man in Africa, the home of the negro? asks Boofer T. Washington, who, in the Century Magazine, discusses the question, "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" In the midst of the preparation of this article, I met Bishop Isaiah B. Scott of the Methodist Episcopal church, one of the strongest and most intelligent colored men that I know. Bishop Scott has spent the greater part of his life in the southern states, but during the last seven years he has lived in Liberia and traveled extensively on the west coast of Africa, where he has come into contact with all classes of European white people. In answer to my question, Bishop Scott dictated the following sentence, which he authorized me us use: "The fairest white man that I have met in dealing with the colored man is the American white man. He understands the colored man better because of his contact with him and he has more respect for the colored man who has accomplished something." Basing my conclusions largely on conversations which I have had with native Africans, with negro missionaries and with negro diplomatic officials who have lived in Africa, especially on the west coast and in South Africa, I am led to the conclusion that, all things considered, the negro in the United States has a better chance that he has in Africa. In certain directions the negro has had greater opportunities in the states in which he served as a slave than he has had in the states in which he has been for a century or more a free man. This statement is borne out by the fact that in the south the negro rarely has to seek labor, but on the other hand, labor seeks him. In all my experience in the southern states, I have rarely seen a negro man or woman seeking labor who did not find it. In the south the negro has business opportunities that he does not have elsewhere. Reduced to its lowest terms, the fact is that a large part of our racial troubles in the United States grow out of some attempt to pass and execute a law that will make and keep one man superior to another, whether he is intrinsically superior or not. No greater harm can be done to any group of people than to let them feel that a statutory enactment can keep them superior to anybody else. No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race, or because of his color, he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. Make yourself agreeable to a man and he will want to borrow money from you. Make yourself agreeable to a woman and she will want to marry you. The American negro is progressing. When he was given his liberty, practically half a century ago, only three per cent of the blacks could read and write. Now 68 per cent of the negroes are educated. The negroes are rapidly acquiring farms in the south and are making good farmers, thanks to the education and training at such institutions as Tuskegee. Of the 10,000,000 negroes in the country 1,000,000 reside in the north. You can't judge a woman by her looks when she looks as if she didn't know you were looking. The negroes of Guthrie, Okla, support a wide-awake library. It was established by negro club women in 1908. In a city of fewer than 2,500 negroes, this library has had 2,000 visits in one month; has loaned 150 books in the same length of time, and has added to its shelves 765 volumes. The report of the third quarter is as follows: Registered visits, 2,000; books loaned, 1,000; books added, 265; members to date, 800. Since the opening in 1908: Registered visits, 27,056; books loaned, 10,810; books donated, more than 2,000. The library maintains a Young Men's Christian association, a children's story hour club and a lecture course on domestic science and home making for our women. There is no such institution in the state doing so much for race uplift. Mrs. J. C. Horton is the librarian. In a recent ten days' campaign the negroes of Baltimore, Md., pledged $21,000 toward a Young Men's Christian association building. This is another one of the cities to cover the $25,000 offered by Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist. Frankfort, Ind.—John Perry, colored, who has been employed at the O. K. barber shop here as a porter, has musical talent and a short time back wrote two sacred songs, a comic opera and a short story, sending them all to a Chicago company. The company accepted his offerings and sent him a check for $3,000 for the comic opera, $200 each for two sacred songs and $67 for the story. Berry was so delighted that he resigned his position, left for his home at Muncie and will devote his entire time to writing music. SALVATORE Now that the election is over, we want to urge with all the force at our command that our people settle down to "hard pan" and devote themselves to the matters of life which are really going to tell for themselves and their children. During the next eight or ten months it will possibly be true that a dozen prominent colored people in the United States will be put out of prominent federal jobs, and a smaller number be put into prominent federal jobs. All this will affect the individuals concerned, but will affect only in a very slight measure the progress of the millions of our race. The future of the millions of black people is not dependent upon a few individuals being put out of office or being put into office, but is dependent upon the success of our people in getting land, building houses, organizing schools, colleges, universities, churches and securing justice in the courts and in public travel. We advise that for the next few months our people cease to discuss politics, cease political activity in a large measure and devote themselves to the importance of conditions in their community. We advise that a Negro Business league be organized in every community, that a literary society be organized, that a woman's club be organized wherever these organizations do not now exist, and wherever they do exist new work should be cut out for them and the organization strengthened. Let us get down to business in relation to the uplift of our race materially, educationally, morally, religiously, spiritually and civilly. There is plenty of work to do in every community. What is done in Washington will concern the people at home very little, but what is done in each individual community will mean the uplift and strength of 10,000,000 people. Let us cease political speculation and get down to real business.—New York Age. An investigation in Kansas City, Kan., reveals some interesting facts about the negroes of that city. It has been found that out of a negro population of 23,566 800 are property owners. Washington, D. C.—At a banquet given by Counselor Thomas L. Jones at his residence, 1901 New Hampshire avenue Northwest, a few evenings ago, the guests became involved in a lengthy discussion on the subject, "Shall We Call Ourself Negroes or Colored People?" The banquet was attended by some of the leading negro residents of the Capital city. Dr. John R. Francis, one of the most prominent of the local negro physicians, declared that colored people was preferred, but he met bitter opposition from Ralph W. Tyler, the negro auditor for the navy department. The question had equal support among those present, and after some discussion the subject was dropped for a more pleasant one. Among those present at the banquet were Judge Robert H. Terrell, who presided as toastmaster; J. P. Napler, register of the treasury department; Auditor Tyril Dr. Francis, Prof. Kelly Miller of the Howard university; Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools; Calvin Chase, Rev. S. T. Brown, Rev. Dr. L. Garner, George W. Cook, Frank P. Plumber, Walter Welbourne, Professor Tibbs, J. C. Thomas, Jr., of New York and R. W. Thompson. Allensworth, Cal., a negro colony, is completing a new grammar school. "One of the best colony schools in the state," the neighboring papers say. Washington, D. C.—Negro walters employed in the various hotels and cafes of Washington are considering the establishment of a school for waiters, where those desiring to engage in this employment, as well as men already working, may become proficient in the niceties of good service. A meeting was held in the lecture room of Shiloh Baptist church, with about 50 colored waiters in attendance, at which the establishment of such a school was discussed, and preliminary steps were taken. At the meeting preliminary steps were taken for the organization of a Waiters' Educational society and A. H. Underdown was chosen temporary president, with C. J. Cole temporary secretary. The Philadelphia Tribune celebrated its twenty-eighth anniversary by purchasing an $8,000 building into which it is shortly to move. Negroes who engage in business and expect the patronage of anybody, should keep their establishments clean and inviting to the passerby or probable customer. Sweep out, dust of the good, and do not keep a gang of lovers hanging about the door; be polite and courteous to all; do not sit down and wait for business to come to you simply because you are a negro. Get up and go after the business, at the same time exercise some patience, and you will in time reap the fruits of your labor.—The Appreciator Union.

Member Ohio Legislature 1894 to 1898; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Wm. Winkfield and Charles Stump, the purporters of the Archbold letters in New York, that resulted in so much harm to Senator Foraker and others, have injured our people in much the same way that Jack Johnson has, in recent months. Their appearance before the Congressional investigating committee at Washington, D. C., the past week, has but revived the memory of their despicable connection with the theft of the letters, and as a result made the burden our people are to carry for some time to come, all the heavier. The Winkfields, Stumps and Johnsons must be "unloaded" pretty soon or they will "sink the ship." AN EXCEPTIONAL APPOINTMENT The last official act of Gov. Judson M. Harmon was a graceful one—that of naming Mr. Jacob B. Perkins of this city, an independent Republican, to fill the vacancy in the Board of Agriculture, caused by the death of Ex-Congressman Jacob Beidler. This practically maintains the equal balance of the board politically and gives to it a member second to none in the experience necessary to make him a positive quantity in its work. He is, also, full of energy, a GENTLEMAN in the fullest sense of the word, approachable, agreeable, honest to the core. Mr. Perkins will certainly make an ideal member of the board. About twelve years ago, when a member of the Ohio Legislature and among those insisting that he be appointed a member of Cleveland's Park Board, we held the same impressions as regard Mr. Perkins and have never had occasion to question them for a single moment since. We congratulate Gov. Harmon, the State of Ohio and Mr. Perkins, on his appointment. MISS BURROUGHS RIGHT! Miss Nannie H. Burrows, corresponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary convention and president of the National Training School for Girls, said recently in a strong plea, for help, for the race: "We have too many organizations. The Negro is the most organized race in the world, and his organizations are the least effective. We have our hands on the mass of people, and this is a great challenge, and it isingly difficult for the leaders to settle upon a definite plan either for our moral, social, political or industrial betterment." Time and again have we also, called attention to the fact that we have a number of so-called "national" organizations, and not one of them making the slightest effort in a PROPER way to solve any one of the three greatest and by far most important problems of the times confronting our people—disfranchisement, "jim-crow" cars (as relating to inter-state passengers of color), and mob violence or lynchmurder. The first two can only be solved in the U. S. Supreme Court. Dr. Booker Washington, president of the National Business Men's League, knows this; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, knows this; so, too do the presidents of all the other "national" Negro or Afro-American organizations. Then, why do they fritter away time, money and effort with matters and things of minor importance? Washington, Du Bois and all the others know better, as we have indicated, and both are being maintained by ample funds supplied by both our people and the whites. There ought not to be any difficulty "in settling upon a definite plan." Miss Burroughs. All know what is to be done and the only way in which an effort to accomplish it, can be made. The thing to do is for our people, the country over, to demand of Messrs. Du Bois and Washington, particularly, and all the other "presidents" and heads of our "national" organizations, that they do their clear duty to them, and stop the frittering away of time, effort and money "chasing shadows." We say this, too, with full appreciation for all the many little "side issues" both the N. B. M. L. and the N. A. A. C. P. may have handled successfully. Rap them again. Miss Burroughs, but a little more definitely and to the point. As pertinent to much of the foregoing it is only necessary to call our readers' attention to the fact that on the 10th of last month, the Supreme Court of Mississippi decided that its state "jim-crow" law applies to through sleeping cars, as well as day coaches. Here we have the spectacle of a state court endeavoring to fix our rights (in its state) as inter-state (U. S.) passengers, when this power for all the state rests in the U. S. Supreme Court. And we are making absolutely no effort whatever to defend our rights as inter-state passengers, as voters or anything else. We believe the U. S. Constitution will uphold both efforts—to knock out disaffirmation and "jim-crow" car laws (at least as far as the latter effect inter-state passengers of color), if Ors. Washington and Du Bois or either, will but lead. Both can afford the time; they are being paid well, as we have indicated. If ever there were two "worthies" who simply dote on basking in the limelight of newspaper publicity, regardless of how much they harm others by so doing, Johnson and Roosevelt are the persons. Their methods, at least as far as the element of impetuosity goes, are much the same. Why Jack Johnson left Chicago, the first of the week, without the permission of the U. S. court, knowing he was under bail ($30,000) and knowing he wanted to leave the country (to Toronto, Canada), if only "for a day or two." is something only he can explain. It was certainly foolish, to say the least. So like Roosevelt! He is compelled "to stay in jail until his trial" as a special government agent at Chicago intimates, as a result of his latest escapade, it can but do Jack some good. He seems to have "lost his head" entirely, since the death of his first wife. New Years evening, the Eighth Regiment (Afro-American) of the Illinois State Guard, gave its annual ball in Chicago. The day following the daily papers of the country carried a dispatch from that city announcing that Jack and his new wife had been hissed at this ball. We did not believe it until an editorial in the Chicago Fellowship Herald of last week, was called to our attention. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett edits the Heldm. Knowing her as we do, and as all of the intelligent members of the race in this country do, it is impossible to pass over lightly the statements she makes in the following, especially since she has steadily shown a friendly side toward Johnson throughout his many recent troubles: Negroes Hiss Jack Johnson. The whole country is talking about the latest Jack Johnson sensation—the hissing of himself and wife By the patrons of the New Years ball of Eighth Regiment. Several reasons have been given for this by those who were present. One, is that while it was a public ball, no other couple on the floor excepting themselves was dancing in such a vulgar fashion. Second, that while doing so, Mrs. Johnson made a reckless display of her hands, which savored more of the methods of the demimonde—than of respectable people. Third, that while there may have been others present who were not shining lights from a standpoint of virtue, no other woman there had openly confessed to having lived in a notorious house of ill-fame; or whose conduct with another woman's suicides was so horrific that her mother suicid, and who had then married that woman's husband in less than three months afterward. In no single case was the reason because Jack Johnson had married a white woman. One year ago, the former Mrs. Johnson was present at this ball with her diamonds and no one else in the room. Jack Johnson has learned his lesson, yet he was heard to say to his wife on retiring, that it was all because "they were jealous as she had them all skinned to death." The Negroes of Chicago are to be congratulated on the moral courage displayed and the lives given those who would override the rules of decency and good breeding. While we do not question Mrs. Barnett's veracity, we are loth to believe the statements anent Jack and his wife. It is barely possible that Mrs. Barnett's informants may have misled her. She does not claim to have been an eye-witness of or to have heard the things upon which she bases her "reasons" for the hissing of Johnson and wife. What has the editor of our contemporary, the Chicago Defender, who was undoubtedly in attendance upon the ball, to say about it? Regardless of the facts, the hissing and all of Jack's escapades, alleged and otherwise, are most unfortunate from a racial viewpoint. Our people, the country over, must pay the penalty in an increased prejudice and the loss of thousands of well-wishers, if not friends. Would Revike the Town's Charter. Harrisburg, Pa.-Gov. John K. Tener of Pennsylvania, in his annual message to the Legislature, makes a statement that he is a member of the Borough of Coatesville, Chester county, be revoked by the Legislature because of the obstructive tactics the citizens of Chester county resorted to when efforts were made to punish those guilty of lynch-murdering at the county jail. He is a colored man burned because he had been charged with killing a police officer. Famous Bell of Moscow. The largest bell is the great bell at Moscow, which is 86 feet in circumference at the bottom, over 21 feet high, and 23 inches thick at the top. Its weight has been computed at 217 tons. It has never been hung. Charming Wife—"Gerald, all I had to pay for this lovely hat was $30. How does it strike you?"

SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1913 Robert R. Horner and Rev. J. M. Waldron are our only two members of the Washington, D. C., inaugural committee (for President-elect Thomas Woodrow Wilson). The National Benefit Association of Washington, D. C., headed by Samuel W. Rutherford, employs about 500 Colored persons and the John Wanamaker store of Philadelphia, gives employment to 300: 11 in the dairy, 83 on the elevators, 20 in the tea room, 21 in the help's lunch room, 3 in the printing department, 3 in the warehouses, 10 as waiters and 10 as porters. The Gazette is indebted to Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley for a copy of her "Catechism in Voice Culture." The trustees of the Jeanes fund for the improvement of rural schools in the south for Afro-Americans has appropriated $36,375 with which to carry work in 109 counties during the year. A careful reading of this department alone will convince any intelligent and loyal member of tl e race, that if one wishes all the best news of the week concerning our people everywhere, one must take the hard-ridden "Gazette" on the QWX. The suspension of both The Advocate and The Mountain Leader of Charleston, W. Va., is announced by J. C. Glmer and T. G. Nutter, editors. The Evening Gazette of New York City, E. C. Allen and H. B. Warner, publishers, is our only northern daily paper. One or two were started, recently the famous 25th infantry left Ft. Geo Wright, at Spokane, Wash., on Dec 24, where they have been stationed for the past two years, for the Hawaiian Islands. They were tendered a public reception, which was attended by a vast concourse of people which included the mayor (Hindley) and Police Judge Stockier, both of whom said Spokane was sorry the school was closed. A student of the A. & M. College, Greenboro, N. C., was recently left $101,000, by a former employer (white). The lynching record for the past year, according to the Chicago daily Tribune, is smaller than ever before save for the years of 1906 and 1907. Only 64 persons were thus done to death. -Sixty of these were Negroes and four were white. As usual, Georgia leads the procession with 11 persons. Three of these 60 were women. The Tribune does not include those killed in alleged 'race riots' or by posses, or the number would be larger. In the shift America's department James W. Johnson, now consul at Corinto, Nicaragua, is transferred to St. Michaels, Spain, and Wm. J. Verhy, of Tennessee, is transferred from Sierra Leone, West Africa, to Messina, Turkey. Both Afro-Americans go to more desirable posts. Albert Kelly of Colbert Co. Ala., recently paroled from the penitentiary where he had served 24 years of a life sentence for murder, is worth $25,000. Property purchased in Magic City, Ala., before his incarceration in the "pen," has so increased in value, that he and his friends and others, are soon to give the comedian, Sam. Lucas, age 71, a benefit. He will then retire from the stage. Newton Johns, a Seattle, Wash., bootblack, last May, saved ten women and children from drowning in Puget Sound, after a steamboat explosion. He jumped into the water with his wife, and then went to want a Carnegie hero medal for him. Officials of the Toledo & Ohio Central railroad have announced that white women will be substituted for Afro-Americans as waiters on the dining cars operated by that road. White women also will succeed the present Colored chefs. Dorothy Costes, of Spokane, Wash., submitted a jury duty in Superior Court there, is believed to be the first woman of the race in the United States to have this opportunity. President Taft has named Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, as U. S. Minister to Liberian, to succeed the late Dr. Wm. D. Crum. Mrs. Purnell, who has been employed at the Wanamaker store, Philadelphia, for 20 years, has been granted a pension for her valuable service. Mrs. Purnell, with the help of some present from her department. The chief of the elevators, and the maids of the store also gave her presents. The right of 5,000 Cherokee freedmen to participate in the distribution of lands and funds belonging to the Cherokee Indian nation was sustained recently by Judge Anderson, of the District of Columbia supreme court. The freedmen claim that their share the property runs anywhere from $100,000 to $100,000. The freedmen are the 'descendants of slaves of the Cherokees and are of mixed Negro and Indian blood. The court, in dismissing the suit, held that the freedmen were clearly entitled to equal rights with the native Cherokees. Jack Johnson has created more stink by buying a fine residence "in the aristocratic Lake Geneva district" and moving in. When he is not in not water himself, it seems he insists he has a private residence. He sees his finish if he possessed single instead of double sight. No man in the country needs more than Jack Johnson to "lay low and keep quiet" for a season. N. Y. Age. Jack Johnson was refused the use of O'Connell's gymnasium in Chicago, last week. Prejudice. He is matched to the Grand Prix, France, or Grand Prix night. In 2012, it is well to remember that, to date, Johnson has not been convicted on any of the many criminal charges (indictments) made against him in recent months. The "smuggling" case has been continued indefinitely because there isn't sufficient evidence to convict. So with all the others. Jeanne Jeannette and Sam. Langford who are matched toight. In California, this time the latter and Sam. are pretty evenly balanced with the odds in favor of the latter. London and Paris papers are telling how American rastime has taken possession of the public in those cities. Comparatively unknown "rag" singers from this side are making the hits of their lives in the London halls and some of them are getting big salaries. Two Los Angeles, Cal., Afro-American policemen have been promoted. On the streetman has been made a detective and the other (Machuf) a nographer in the chief office. Rev. E. W. Klinchen, a former Ohioan, now located in that city, delivered the emancipation celebration address, there Jan. 1. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of Chicago's public schools, said recently at Washington, D. C., in an interview: "In Chicago, we have mixed schools and we are proud of them. We have Colored teachers, too, and we are proud of them, and to speak of the kindly feeling between them, it cannot be put too strongly. You people are making a grave mistake to try to keep the Colored people down. I for one will contend that we should not be in one school and we will find in the long run our nation will be richer by many millions. Then, too, the Colored citizens must stand up and demand their rights, and we who have these must stand by our darker brother."

He might have said: "I will tempt all the terrors of the unknown. I will accomplish what has never been tried. I will risk my skill against the elements and win. I will take to myself the swiftness of the meteor and the sureness of the seascul. I will dexter wind, the weather, the trackless wastes and the ocean. I will make real the the dreamer."

He is int with: "Till cross the Atlantic in "—as if the feat were the most matter- formance in the world—and the chances regards it a good deal in that light. heeting, it seems like an idle man, who have followed the carousel of this shrew, clear-headed and capable air that he is neither a booster nor a vis- sage says he will do a thing it is certain feels firmly to he can—and believes he has studied his facts and tested his a short look back to the beginnings of one and in the brief time that that man attempt, even under the best of con- reckless to the point of fool- not so to the aviator.

So far, little detail has leaked the manner of equipment he will use only that he is building a machine the course in four days ten hours and minutes. The aviator proposes to clip top 6,341 minutes from that record. There are other roads which are afer. There is that which leads from the Bermudas, one that allows for only short hops and a long one from mainland. Then there is that other by those who have planned out the for an aeroplane but for a power and course is practically the same over bus was wafted across by the kindly s centuries ago.

But Grahame-White is a true Briton and as such has a hearty dislike for the grandiloquent. He is quite content with: "Till cross the Atlantic in thirty hours"—as if the feat were the most matter-of-fact performance in the world—and the chances are that he regards it a good deal in that light. At first hearing, it sounds like an idle boat, but those who have followed the career of this eminently shrewd, clear-headed and capable airman know that he is neither a boaster nor a visionary. If he says he will do a thing it is certain that he believes firmly that he can—and believes it because he has studied his facts and tested his theories. It is but a short look back to the beginnings of the aeroplane and in the brief time that that wonderful machine has been in the hands of men it has performed the very things that skeptics have declared impossible. It seems almost certain that at a time not remote someone will make the perilous trip overseas. And why not Grahame-White? To the average earth-man who is satisfied never to rise above the top stories of an office building the attempt, even under the best of conditions, appears reckless to the point of fool-hardiness. Not so to the aviator. "Give me the kind of a machine I'm thinking of," he remarks, "and the transatlantic trip would be just so much duration flying—plain sailing." Just there lies the nub of the question of air navigation from Europe to America—in the machines. They must first of all have speed, great speed; they must have a lifting capacity enough to carry the required amount of fuel, they must have enough speed to reach the train of terrific and stupendous distance, they must have instruments that will locate the course with accuracy. All those elements must have been considered long and carefully by Grahame-White before he made his recent announcement. He must be satisfied that he has an aeroplane that fulfilss all the conditions. So far, little detail has leaked out as to the manner of equipment he will use. It is known only that he is building a machine which will carry four engines, arranged in independent pairs and each rated at 250 horsepower. He has said that he is convinced that he can show enough lifting capacity to carry the required fuel and enough speed to rush him to these shores in thirty hours. That may seem simple to the unthinking, but consider. Roughly speaking, it is 3,000 miles from coast to coast and at Grahame-White's reckoning of thirty hours that means that he has a machine which he trusts for at least one hundred miles an hour, minute after minute without interruption. What course he will choose has not yet developed. He has the whole great ocean to choose from. It has been hinted that the steamship lanes are the natural path for the adventurer to give some measure of protection in case of accidents. If he chooses that from Queenstown to SandyHook lightship he must traverse 2,800 miles; if from Plymouth to SandyHook, 2,962 miles; if from Southampton to SandyHook, 3,100; if from Havre to SandyHook, 3,170 miles; and if from Cherbourg, 3,644. The Mauretania has made the passage in four days ten hours and forty-one minutes. The aviator proposes to clip at one swoop 6,341 minutes from that record. To be sure there are other roads which are said to be safer. There is that which leads from the Azores to the Bermudas, one that allows for two relatively short hops and a long one from mainland to mainland. Then there is that other one favored by those who have planned out the course not for an aeroplane but for a power dirigible. This second course is practically the same over which Columbus was wafted across by the kindly trade winds centuries ago. From a meteorological standpoint it is said to be the best. It lies from Cadiz to Tenerife, a distance of 807 miles; from Tenerife to Porto Rico, a distance of 3,219 miles; from Porto Rico to Havana, distance of 1,124 miles; and thence to the mainland. The course lies in a zone varying little from twenty degrees north latitude and in the winter and spring offers fair weather and a wind with a velocity of fourteen to sixteen miles an hour. The matter of wind, however, seems to have troubled Grahame-White little. It is probable that he will select one of the northerly courses and it is probable that he may fly even as far north as Labrador. By choosing that as a point of landing and Ireland as point of starting, he might reduce his distance by hundreds of miles. Whatever his course, however, he must have speed. Even at his own estimate of thirty hours, the nervous strain of guiding an airplane for that length of time without sleep would be terrific and would increase immensely with every added hour. Grahame-White has always been a believer in the speed possibilities of his air crafts. Some of his most famous aircraft WANT FULL HOURS OF SLEEP Monkeys in Captivity Distinctly Object to Being Disturbed Too Early in the Morning. An orang-outang named Jacob got out of his cage in the London Zoo a few days ago by prying off a rod somewhere in the roof of it. Then he escaped to a tall linden tree in the park and built himself a platform high up in the tree and resided there all night. The keepers only succeeded. --- I very remarkable rate, said, "who are experts of airmachinery, predict 200 miles and 300 miles.

It is estimated that a motor with a speed capacity will use on an average an hour and one gallon of these weight approximations Grahame-White is to be in the air thirty hour figuring.

Someour was no ed in getting him back into captivity by squirting water at him with fire extinguishers. Orang-outangs are always trying to get out of their cages, and are very ingenious about it. If one is awakened in the morning before a certain hour he is disturbed and upset all the rest of the day. That may point to the theory of Mrs. Tingley and the Theosophists of 1870 A. B. CLAUDE GRAHAM WHITE very remarkable rate. "Friends of mine," he said, "who are experts on the scientific aspects of airmanship, predict that eventually speeds of 200 miles and 300 miles an hour will be possible. At this, one's imagination is apt to reel, but this much is certain: If the flying machine is to become of real importance, and not remain always a sporting toy, it must be speedier than any method of transit on land." Perhaps he is convinced that his new four-motor arrangement will give him 100 miles continuously. He must have that to make his journey in the time he has set. Jules Vedrines has flown at the rate of a trifle better than 105 miles an hour and George Fourny holds a record of fifteen hours of continuous flight. Nothing like a union of the two records has yet been known and if Graham-White succeeds according to his promise he will have approached one and bettered the other. It may seem strange, but to the aviator the matter of swiftness is a secondary consideration in the problem. To him the lifting power is the thing that counts. One prominent aviator figured the other day that on such a trip as Graham-White plans he would under known conditions have to carry fuel amounting in weight to more than 4,000 pounds. It is estimated that an average aeroplane motor with a speed capacity of sixty miles an hour will use on an average five gallons of gasoline an hour and one gallon of lubricating oil. Both these weigh approximately six pounds a gallon Grahame-White is to have four motors and stay in the air thirty hours. The result is simple figuring. The main difficulty, then, will be in producing an aeroplane which has the power to make a tremendous lift without materially reducing its speed. It is generally conceded that the type of airtship used will be necessarily a biplane as the dainty monoplane is not a weight carrier. Even the biplane has not yet shown power of moving the cross-sea adventurer must carry. In France there is a record of a machine of this sort lifting thirteen people from the ground. That, however, was a mere hop and not a sustained flight. At best only 1,950 pounds of human freight was thus carried, if each person is allowed 150 pounds. Whatever improvements Grahame-White may have in his new machine it is certain that he must have unusual lifting power even if he has discovered some means of cutting his oil and gasoline requirements. He will have to have a tremendous drive to overcome the drag of the weight in his storage tanks. To achieve what he has set out to do he will have to secure a machine of a type superior to anything that has been so far seen in motor equipment, in strength, steadiness, and speed. His motors will have to better the continuous flight record by half, equal the speed record and beat the lifting record by long odds. Quietly, the motors will have at his command a machine equal to all emergencies he will still have the ocean to cross. That in the estimation of the aviator is the least of his troubles. Philip W. Page, aviator, expert in the management of hydroplanes, and one of the foremost cross-water飞艇, expressed the views of many of his fellow-airmen in discussing this phase of the proposed flight the other afternoon. "Of course," he said, "there is a possibility of making a flight from continent to continent. Such a flight, however, presupposes an airplane theoretically perfect for the purpose. With such a machine the journey would be by no means as terrifying as most people imagine. If the aviator were sure of staying in the air and making the required speed, the rest under normal conditions would be one of the simplest kinds of flying—straightaway over an unimpeded course. "Contrary to the general belief, he would have conditions better than those on land. The winds in the summer should be steady and never strong. He would encounter no buildings, trees or abrupt changes in the face of the country to split his air currents. Almost any aviator will tell you that he prefers a forty-mile steady to a fifteen-mile puff wind. "The air-hole theory has come to be a good deal of a myth, but there are still troublesome up and down trends of the atmosphere which lend no little difficulty to land flying. These are caused in a large measure from sudden obstruction to air currents and from radiation. "The atmosphere over the ocean is not subject to these obstructions nor is it affected by --- "Friends of mine," he on the scientific aspects that eventually speeds of an hour will be possible.

I should say that his difficulty would not lie primarily with atmospheric conditions, provided he had reasonably settled weather, but rather with the possible unsureness of his airplane, possible trouble with his motor and the intricacies of navigation." Given fair weather and a machine which will make the speed he hopes, the actual physical demand upon Grahame-White would not be a severe one. The control of a machine running in steady currents would not be a trying one. Plain flying even at a great speed does not call for any very large amount of exertion. On the other hand the nervous strain would be tremendous. It is hard to imagine the state of mind of a man hurled into the unknown with only a slender fabric of metal, wood and cloth between him and death. It is equally difficult to conceive of what thirty hours or more of catapulting across mile after mile of ocean at 100 miles an hour would mean. At the least it would necessitate a tension the like of which few men have ever experienced. How British Soldier is Punished for Offenses in Time of War. When a soldier proceeds on active service he has to mind his 'p's' and 'q's', for offenses which in peace time would be lightly punished may in the field render him liable to death, says London Tit-Bits. In time of peace, if Tommy Atkins, being on sentry go, sleeps or is drunk on his post or quits it without being properly relieved, he will probably get off with a short dose of imprisonment or perhaps of "detention" only. On active service the penalty for these offenses is death. It would not usually be enforced nowadays, except for a repeated offense or where, owing to the prevalence of misbehavior among sentries, it is necessary to "make an example," but still the liability to death is there. In peace the maximum penalty for desertion is two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labor, but in practice a first offense will get a short term of imprisonment. On active service the latter takes the risk of death if recaptured and if the offense is committed actually in face of the enemy he will probably be shot. Similarly, acts of insubordination which in the ordinary way would be comparatively venal offenses become punishable by death on active service. In passing it may be mentioned that even in peace an insubordinate soldier may be sentenced to death if convicted by a general court-martial on one or another of the following charges: Striking or using or offering any violence to his superior officer, being in the execution of his office; or disobeying, in such manner as to show a willful defiance of authority, any lawful command given personally by his superior officer in the execution of his office whether the same is given orally or in writing or by signal or otherwise. In peace, however, the maximum penalty has not been inflicted for these offenses for many years. Active service brings into being offenses which practically do not exist in peace. One of the most serious of crimes peculiar to active service is "forcing a safeguard." The commander of an invading army will often detach parties of his own men to protect the persons and property of civilian inhabitants from violence by his own side. To force such a safeguard almost invariably means death. Breaking into a house or any other place in search of plunder may also mean death, even when there is no safeguard; but as a rule a lesser penalty would be inflicted. It depends a good deal on the commander. Some generals wink at looting; others—Lord Roberts, for one—are very severe on it. During the Boer war more than one of our men was executed for the sake of a Boer fowl or bottle of "square-face." On one occasion only the readiness of an Irish "Tommy" saved him from the firing party or the gallows. He was caught with a couple of fowls under his coat and by no less a personage than "Bobs" himself, out riding with his staff. Asked for an explanation, he instantly replied that he had caught the fowls running loose on the veldt and that, hearing the commander in chief was on short rations, he was on his way to ask his lordship to accept them as a present. The lord complained that he were accepted. It is possible for a soldier to show cowardice in time of peace. In such a case he would probably be charged with an act or conduct "to the prejudice of good order and military discipline," sentenced to a stiff dose of imprisonment and to be "discharged with insignomery." On active service any act of cowardice is punishable by death, while a soldier who, "in action or previously to going into action, uses words calculated to create unnecessary alarm or despondency," is liable to penal servitude. Who carries out a sentence of death on active service? This is the duty of the provost-marshal, who, with a large force, is an officer of fairly high rank. He is responsible for making all arrangements for the execution and, if necessary, he must himself act as executioner. In the Boer war one provost-marshal was Major (now Colonel) R. M. Poore, the famous Hampshire cricketer. A Natural Mistake. "What do you suppose the financial editor has done?" "What?" "He has put the article called Stock Phrases under the head of Market Quotations." PENALTIES FOR TOMMY ATKINS. When a soldier proceeds on active service he to mind his "p's" and "q's" for offences which peace time would be lightly punished may in cold render him liable to death, says London Bits. In time of peace, if Tommy Atkins, be sentry go, steeps or is drunk on his post posts it without being properly relieved, he probably get off with a short dose of imprisonment or perhaps of "detention" only. On active service the penalty for these offenses is high. We would not usually be enforced nowadays, except for a repeated offense or where, owing to prevalence of misbehavior among sentries, it necessary to "make an example," but still the utility to death is there. To peace the maximum penalty for desertion two years' imprisonment, with or without hard but, in practice a first, offense will get a term of imprisonment. On active service the deserter takes the risk of death if recaptured if the offence is committed actually in face of enemy he will probably be shot. Similarly, acts of insubordination which in the mary way be comparatively venial often become punishable by death on active service. In passing it may be mentioned that in peace an insubordinate soldier may beenced to death if convicted by a general mort-armalion on one or another of the following args: Striking or using or offering anycence to his superior officer, being in the ex-cession of his office; or disheveing, in such manner to show a willful defiance of authority, lawful command given personally by his superior officer in the execution of his office either the same is given orally or in writing, signal or otherwise. Peace, the maximum penalty has been inflicted for these offences for many years. Active service brings into being offences which actually do not exist in peace. One of that serious of crimes peculiar to active service for a safeguard. The commander of an army will often detach parties of his men to protect the persons and property of civilian inhabitants from violence by his own hand. To force such a safeguard almost invariably means death. In such a case he would be charged into house or any other place in the firing party or the gallows. He was right with a couple of fowls under his coat and no less a personage than "Bobs" himself, outing with his staff. Asked for an explanation, he instantly replied that he had caught the fowls running loose on velvet and that, hearing the commander in firing on short rations, he was on his way to his lordship to accept them as a present, fowls and the explanation were accepted. It is possible for a soldier to show cowardice time of peace. In such a case he would be charged with an act or conduct "to the pudice of good order and military discipline,"enced to a stiff dose of imprisonment and to "discharged with ignominy." On active service any act of cowardice is punishable by death, while a soldier who, "in action previously to going into action, uses words called to create unnecessary alarm or despondency," is liable to penal servitude. Who carries out a sentence of death on active service? This is the duty of the provost-marshal, with a large force, is an officer of fairly rank.

APPEAR IN VARIOUS SHAPES Togue Has Come Into Its Own Again, and the Change is Welcome— Tam O'Shanters Appear on the Boulevards. PARIS, France.—Fur algrettes, paradise plumes and marabou bands trim scores of chic small hats. One charm of the aigrette, whether made of fur, feathers or ribbon, is its lack of prejudice as to the position accorded to it. If posed in an upright maner, it will stand erectly and assume military, nay, a militant air. But it is quite as willing to drolaguiy from one side or from the back of a shape, or to cling affectionately to the under edge of a rolling brim. Paradise plumes have a similar happy faculty for adjusting a helmet to the characteristics of a chapeau, or to assess the witchlike quality of making a releve-brim shape look well above a middle-aged face. What wonder that these three types of garnishings are used on tiny chapeau which, at last, have definitely arrived. They are seen in various shapes, but are smartest in a toque which fits closely to the head and shows a short fringe across the brow and a mass of hair over both ears. This arrangement of A the hair, however, goes with hats of any dimensions, for, so far as the Parisian public knows, the mondaine and her grown daughters have no organs of hearing. It is the popular idea among milliners that a woman—no matter how regular may be her features or how flawless her complexion and teeth, cannot be pretty if her ears show. When posing her toque, the Parisienne places its rear against the nape of her neck, then presses its crown forward and brings its sides against the curled or waved or puffed locks covering her ears. If she arranges these tresses with a due regard to the shape of her face, the new toque cannot fail to become her—providing that it is of the right color. This rule may be applied to almost any of the new small shapes and notably to the Tam O'Shanters of velvet or corded silk matching the gown and garnished with aigrettes of fur or bands of marabou like the trimming on the skirt and the jacket. The huge puff of flexible material dropping over the narrow brim and concealing its hard line makes a soft halo which is flattering to any face, no matter how youthful and lovely. Reign of the Small Turban. Small turbans of the tailored velvet type such as every true Parisienne considers a necessity for the winter season, are flat of crown and broad of brim and so severe of line that they would be impossibly unbecoming were it not for their pose. They are placed squarely upon the head and so far forward that the eyebrows are covered. From the front no hair can be seen excepting the puffs covering the ears, but happily the velvet brim casts a soft shadow which, by making the eyes look larger and darker, adds to the attractiveness of the face. On some of these hats are two long loops of sash ribbon, wired, and rooted in a long twisted knot forming an algrette which projects straight outward from the side of the brim and in no way marring the sharp outline of the shape. But if a perfectly flat ensemble is preferred (some millers maintain that the tailored hat should be guiltless of projections), there may be placed against the brim and extending from it part way over the crown, a large, square cabochon of Oriental brocade, of cari-hued Sapphires Popular. The sapphire is considered beauty's chief adornment this winter. Blue has prevailed so long in the effections of the well-habited woman, and the sapphire reflects that wonderful blue which hints of Italian skies at night. When well chosen, the sapphire may be worn morning, noon and night. It harmonizes perfectly with the severely tailored suit or the exquisite dinner gown. The correct sapphire must not be of so deep a shade as to resemble a chip boads working out a grectan design or of heavy tinsel lace embroidered with coarse floss. Tableau Chapaux. Even the so-called Tablenau Capeaux are noticeably smaller of late. Those worn by the bridesmaids at a recent smart wedding, had low crowns against which were pressed four-inch-wide brims that flared at the right side and pointed sharply beyond the left ear, making a new variation of the Napoleon. They were of skunked corbeau blue silk beaver decorated at the left front brim with a cluster of roses and foliage in pale gold tinsel. Still smaller was the maid of honor's headgear—a hat having a perfectly flat crown crown of cream colored fine felt into which was shirred a drooping three-inch brim of golden brown chiffon velvet. It was posed at a decided tilt toward the left ear and from the right side of its brim fell a bird of paradise matching the shade of her sable-band-trimmed yellow chiffon frock. In Silk Beaver. in Sik beaver. Vastly becoming and decidedly out of the ordinary, is the Trelaway tableau chapeau of moderate size. This shape is most of all chic in silk beaver and has a rounded low crown a plush top faced frim which may vary slightly at the back and is correspondingly depressed at the front. Its outline should be softened by a band of marabou or fur about the crown, and to be truly picturesque and unusual looking there should be an extremely long ostrich plume, matching the color of the beaver, but centred from root to tip of stem with a narrow band of fur or marabou, projecting upward and backward from the left side. Velvet blouses for the house are immensely chic. In black and all the fashionable dark shades they appear as belted coats—very short over the hips, very loose above the waist line and in front opening over a silk skirt with a soft collar and a lingerie frill. The long, wide sleeves are gathered into a wrist band but are opened at the other side to the elbow through which slit is drawn the lingerie frill on the under shirt's sleeve. House Blouse for Winter. Spotted-white net velling satin is employed in the development of a sensible sort of winter house blouse which has long sleeves set into sloping shoulder seams and fronts crossing over a high-collared guipme of plain net. Despite its simplicity of design, this blouse is not severe, for two deep frills of the spotted material cross the fronts diagonally from the waist line, and just below the shoulders under cabochons of gold and silver tinsel. Brocade in pale blue or rose or mauve trimmed with dark fur narrow bands is made into a charming type of dinner blouse. This model closes invisibly at the back, has a rounded-out neck that is moderately low, half-length angel sleeves, and a cluster of silk and tinsel flowers. These three distinct classes of blouses are especially liked by women of rather limited income whose social position requires smart dressing. The illustration shows a velvet costume without coat—this is a delightful suggestion for a velvet gown. The skirt is severely cut and is quite plain save for a hem of skunk and five silk tassels on each side. WIDE CHOICE IS ALLOWED Many Different Colors and Materials May Be Employed as Coverings for Large and Small Tables. White coverings are not best for the table in the living room and it is not necessary that the cover should hide the whole surface. There are many attractive materials which can be utilized as covers for table tops. Pieces of old broocades or embroideries can be picked up at reasonable prices at upholstering shops and if bound in a plain color or with wide gold braid are charming. Oval or oblong pieces of plain velours, lined with soft felt or flannel make attractive and equally satisfactory covers for the Oriental rug environment. For small tables, Japanese mats, with their rich blues, greens and golds or stripes of Oriental embroidery are just the thing. And what is more appropriate for the little old time sewing table than an old sampler with its soft bits of color? Old-fashioned chenille covers if the colorings are right and not too gay are in vogue again. French cretonnes come in soft, rich colorings and sometimes in such odd designs that they have the appearance of tapestry. When finished with gold galloon no handsome covers could be found than cretonnes. For rooms furnished in the mission style strips and squares of heavy crash bound with coarse colored linen make suitable covers. Odd Sleeves. The novelty of the moment in Paris is detected in the various kinds of sleeves completing our simple Greek-draped gowns. There is a tendency, and one likely to spread, to make the sleeves in a material and color different from the dress. One would be inclined to believe that this interesting innovation is partly due to the gradual shortening of the kimono sleeve. Some of the most clever effects are inspired from the middle ages in France. A few of these specimens appeared recently on the stage. The sleeves alone give the cachet to a simple dress of white crepe de chine. They are tight fitting from the elbow, and covered with raised flowers in crochet wool of polychrome eastern design. Another old world touch lies in the band of dark fur encircling the neck and crossing to the waist at the side. of coal, nor must it be a washed-out blue which is absolutely characterless. When it's a perfect blue the black frock needs no other adornment than a lovely sapphire drop attached to a small chain. Complete sets of sapphire ornaments are being worn after the fashion of 50 years ago. These sets include a necklace, two bracelets and a brooch or two. If the sets are intended for evening wear, they include a band for the throat, a barette, ornamental combs and frequently a tira. CAP and BELLS MAN PREFERRED TO BE SHOT Turgid Orator Bound to Finish Speech Even If He Has to Shoot to Hold an Audience. A rather turgid orator, noted for his verbosity and heaviness, was once assigned to some campaigning in a mining camp in the mountains. There were about fifty miners present when he began, but when, at the end of a couple of hours, he gave no sign of finishing, his listeners dropped away. Some went back to work, but the majority sought places to quench their thirst, which had been aggravated by the discourse. Finally there was only one auditor left—a dilapidated, weary-looking old fellow. Fixing his gaze on him, the orator pulled out a large six-shooter and laid it on the table.
