NATIONAL SENATORS PASS AP
PROPRIATION MEASURE.
Senator Burton of Ohio Makes Speech and Opposes Adoption of Act in Upper House.
Washington, D. C.—Senator Burton of Ohio attacked the rivers and harbors appropriation bill in the senate, but that measure was passed after a prolonged fight.
Amendments added to the bill by the senate brought predictions that the measure would be vetoed by the president, because they were in direct opposition to his expressed policies. One of these amendments was the Connecticut river dam bill.
The bill as reported to the senate from its commerce committee carried an appropriation of $48,091,745, an increase of $7,218,787 over the amount authorized by the house. Several amendments adopted by the senate increased this sum materially.
Senator Burton declared the house committee on rivers and harbors and the senate committee on commerce owed an apology to a multitude of people for the provision in the bill extending the jurisdiction of the Mississippi river commission.
SETS EXTRA SESSION APRIL 1
President-Elect Wilson Makes Announcement When National Lawmakers Will Get Together.
Trenton, N. J.—President-elect Wilson has just announced the extra session of congress would be convened April 1.
"I will make no announcement of the subjects I will recommend for consideration by the extra session until after I get to Washington," said Wilson.
It is assumed tariff revision will be urged, and it is believed probable currency reform will be suggested for simultaneous enactment. It is understood Wilson feels it necessary the currency be reformed as soon as possible.
Wilson said he had waited before settling the date of the extra session until he learned the "state of preparedness" of congress. He said he understood a caucus of house Democrats to select a ways and means committee would be held March 5.
BURGLAR ONLY STEALS A KISS
BURGLAR ONLY STEALS A KISS
Man Enters House, Careasses Bedridden Woman, Puts Revolver in Pocket and Escapes.
Philadelphia, Pa.—It isn't often that an armed and masked burglar, apparently out for jewels and money, is content with stealing a kiss, but that is what happened in the home of Mrs. Anna Young of Camden. Mrs. Young, who has been bedridden for some time, was awakened shortly after 3 o'clock in the morning and discerned the form of a masked man at the foot of the bed. The intruder pointed a revolver at the sick woman. Mrs. Young protested that she had no valuables, whereupon the man unmasked came close to the sick woman and said: "Kiss me."
Unable to resist Mrs. Young was kissed upon the cheek. Apparently content with the caress, the intruder replaced the revolver in his pocket and escaped.
Cuts 'High Cost of Dying.'
Cincinnati, O.-A novel way to decrease the "High cost of dying" was devised here by the board of managers of St. Xavier's church.
An announcement has just been made that in the future no funerals to which flowers are permitted to be sent, will be allowed held in the church. It also was announced that in the place of flowers, the parish, at its own expense, would issue memorial cards to all friends announcing the death and giving a brief biography of the dead person
FATE OF MEXICO HANGS BY A HAIR
Revolts in Many States Are Reported Spreading.
MADERO'S BROTHER SLAIN
Stern Military Dictatorship Is Being Enforced by Huerta to Maintain National Entity and Prevent Intervention.
Mexico City. — Emilo Madero, a brother of the murdered president, has been killed by federal troops acting, it is said, under orders from the capital. He is the third of the Madero family to fall since the outbreak of the present revolution. Emilio Madero was shot at a small place between Villadama and Bastamente. The official reason assigned is that he was in open rebellion against the Huerta-Diaz government. Details are lacking, the reports not indicating whether Madero was killed in action or was executed according to the murderous policy pursued toward his brother. With an escort of 35 men, it is said, he was attempting to join the rebel forces holding Laredo. Troops sent by Gen. Trevino overtook the escort.
Mexico City.—With revolts against the Huerta regime spreading in many states, the fate of Mexico hangs by a hair. A stern military dictatorship is being enforced to maintain the national entity of Mexico and prevent intervention. Thousands of troops patrol the streets of the capital and prompt death is the penalty of disaffection. National leaders realize that the country is making a last fight for autonomy. If their program of government by bullet and sword fails they will appear to Portillo Diaz, the deposed dictator, to return. His ruthless rule will then be restored, too, if possible, to quell anarchy and prevent intervention. Extreme uneasiness is felt here by American capitalists.
Unconfirmed reports were received here from Chihuahua that Alberto Madero, an uncle of the dead president, was slain there. He was arrested with Gov. Gonzales of Chihuahua, for refusing to recognize the Huerta government
Leaders Realize Task.
The significance of the present situation was pointed out in an editorial by Paul Hudson, editor of the Mexico Paul Herald. The efforts of the present government, he said, represent the last chance the Mexicans will have to settle their own difficulties themselves.
Government leaders realize the enormity of the task which confronts them. In an effort to distract the attention of the mass of the people while a military dictatorship is enforced under the veil of presidency and civil authority, a political campaign has been instituted. There are five candidates for the presidency, and all are being ardently supported by various cliques. This move, is also expected to get the minds of the people off the assassination of President Madero and his brother and Vice President Suarez.
Outbreaks in Coahuila and other states plainly indicate the difficult task which confronts the Huerta regime in its attempt to amalgamate the various disturbing factions.
The government has started troops under Gen. Roblas to the state of Coahuila, where Gov. V. Carranza has formally declared himself opposed to the Huerta administration.
Federals to Fight Rebels.
Carranza is reported to have marched from Tillito, after marshalling a large force, and started toward the town of Cuatro Cienagas. Fifteen hundred federal troops have been sent north on the National Railway to fight the rebels.
In the south the Zapatistas continue burning and raiding, and an attack on a military train between Ozumba and Mexico City leaves little room for doubt as to their attitude toward the new government.
Gen. Benjamin Argumendo, one of the most active leaders of the Orozco forces, with 1,000 followers, is now at Salina, near San Luis Potosi. He is treating with the representatives of Huerta, but has not indicated yet if he will submit to the new regime.
Despite these definite reports of disfection, President Huerta declared that practically the entire country was peaceful.
Carrying out its program of terrorism and reprisal, the administration will prosecute Gov. Drito of the state of Campeche, for the wholesale murders during the raid on Yucatan in November, 1911. Gov. Vales of Yucatan will be prosecuted for permitting the invasion. Felix Somerfeld, the German head of Madero's secret police, has been accused of stealing money from Chapultepec during the time of Madero's arrest.
Laird Lives for the Future.
Pittsburgh, Pa. — Andrew Carnegie is not living in the past. The present and the future hold more for him than the years that have gone by.
So the laird of Skibo says himself in the letter to the Misses Mary and Nora Callahan, who offered" to sell him the house in which he spent part of his boyhood. Besides, they own some heirlooms bought from Mrs. Mary Hogan, an aunt of Mr. Carnegie's. The house stands at Craig and Robinson's. North Side. "I'm not living in the past," he said.

GIRL REAL MIND READER
TEN-YEAR-OLD MISS ASTONISHES NOTED PSYCHOLOGISTS.
Possesses Mysterious Power Credited to Her by Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard University.
Boston, Mass.—"She reads your mind like an open book; tells your name, your occupation and your innermost secrets with her wonderful gift of second sight."
This ancient cry of the country fair side-show barker before the booth of a fortune teller has taken the real concrete form of fact in the case of ten-year-old Beulah Miller, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Miller of Warren, who has been examined by the leading psychologists of the United States.
Tests of mind-reading that have staggered other so-called "mind readers" have been given the little girl. Each problem was solved by Miss Miller with the ease that convinced her audience that she was possessed of that mysterious power credited to her by Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard university, who is regarded as the greatest living psychologist in America.
Miss Miller has successfully named the suit and number card taken at random from a pack; has given correctly the hour indicated by a watch regulated by the professor; has divulged the number of a watch case never before seen by her, and has correctly named the dates on coins taken from the pockets of those examining her.
Dr. Henry W. Hopkins has described a portion of his tests as follows:
"I placed cards in 12 piles in a corner of a room while Beaulah was out of sight in another room. I then asked her how many piles were there. She said, '12.' I asked her how many piles in each row. She said, 'Four.' which was right. I turned up a card and asked her what card I held. She replied, 'Three spot of diamonds.' I asked her what row it was taken from, she said, 'The fourth.' I then pretended to turn a card and asked her what card I had turned. She replied, 'You did not turn any.'"
All the answers were correct.
DYING, RECORDS HEART BEATS
Manufacturer of Surgical Instruments Pierces Organ With Steel Lance and Then Listens to Throbs.
Philadelphia, Pa.—With a stethoscope applied to his ears, Karl W. Schneider, a manufacturer of surgical instruments, listened to his heart record its dying beats after he had pierced that organ with a steel lance. Near the body, which was discovered in the rear of his store, the police found a piece of paper on which was written the figures "1-2-3" and ending with "26." Deputy Coroner McKeever believes this is the record of the pulsations Schneider had strength to record before his death. He was 48 years old and had been in poor health.
Standard Oil Magnate Dies
Palm Beach, Fla.-James A. Moffett, president of the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, died here after a brief illness. He was born in Parkersburg, W. Va.
Asks for Kiss Gets Bullet
Trenton, N. J.—Her demand for a kiss caused the death of *Mrs. Leago Vergo, aged 19. Her husband who is two years her senior, has confessed to the police that he murdered her because she pestered him for a kiss./
Vergo was preparing to leave the house when his bride asked him to kiss her. He told her was tired of kissing her. Mrs. Vergo attempted to detain him by force. Vergo pulled a revolver from his pocket and fired twice. The bride dropped dead.

If there is anything ready-made about him, it is his coat. "The worst-dressed man in London," said a kinsman. But the cousin's eye is always the most critical; and that label is itself like a ready-made coat—it does not really fit. The smallest save one of the dukes, thickly shuck, the pockets of his black frock-coat stuffed with paper, he rehearsed the Coronation canopy-bearers. The duchess of Portland, the duchess of Hamilton, and the duchess of Sutherland went through their splendid paces before the little man; and Lord Rosebery was drilled like a recruit. On duty his grace hardly ever smiled; and one of the duchesses confessed herself almost frightened. She had never known, she said, a man so sparing of compliments!

He ran his hands skillfully over the axie boxes of the locomotive, feeling for hot bearings, and then, apparently satisfied, took off his grimy gloves and wiped his misty eyes with the back of one hand. With the other hand extended he greeted the friends who crowded round him.
"Yes, it's my last run, boys," he said. "I've pulled the throttle for the last time."
The man was Daniel F. Tuttle, known to his many friends as "Dan." He had made his last trip as engineer after being pensioned at the retirement age of seventy years. He had worked for the railroad for fifty-seven years, except for four years spent in the Civil war. His pension will be $85 a month.
"No, boys, I'm going straight out to the house to see my wife," he said, as some friends sought to detain him. "You see, the wife is keeping dinner

denly discovered that there was an active personality instead of a name at St. Martin's-le-Grand. But out of hours he was the least ferocious of all customers. "Mr. Mrs, or Miss?" snapped the lady from behind the cage, when he was himself sending a cable, and being asked for his name and address, signed "Norfolk." She refused it as insufficient with the contemptuous click of the tongue that comes of long office hours; but the same evening she learned her mistake, and wrote to the P. M. G., throwing herself on his mercy. She still keeps a cordial note of forgiveness, signed the same way.
The largest charity is too too large, nor the smallest too small for him. He has entertained fifty thousand school children in Norfolk park; and he has traveled fifty miles to give prizes at a small village school of thirty souls. He gives Norfolk park to Sheffield or his seat to an old lady with the same willingness. On one occasion he made a special journey from London to be present at a children's concert at Angmering, in Sussex. At the station, where his carriage was in readiness, he observed a woman with a large parcel in her arms, and immediately invited her into the carriage with him, as the wind was bitterly cold. But she was going the opposite way—with the result that she had the carriage and he walked. The thing is of small account—too small for most dukes to have troubled with. Your ordinary man might have given his Holbein to the nation, and kept his seat. But the Holbein was not useful, or the duke, at least, could not see it in that light. It meant, however, a thing that was much more useful—the money that goes every year in its thousands to charities.

An hour later Mr. Tuttle was found in the dining room of his cozy home opposite Garfield Park at 342 Hamlin avenue. Mrs. Tuttle, a gray-haired, motherly-looking woman, was beaming with joy as she opened the door.
"Yes, Dan's here," she said. "Just think, he'll never have to go out on the road again. He is to spend the rest of his life just with me. Perhaps I'm selfish, but a roadman's wife is always wondering if her husband is coming home dead or alive.
"And now Dan's home for good and he's alive, too."
"Yes, I am glad I am off the road," said Mr. Tuttle. "I'm shedding no tears over leaving the engine as the traditional engineer is supposed to do. I have led a long and active life and I realize that it is time to quit. If a man can't begin to rest at seventy he isn't going to get much rest on this earth.
"I started back in '55 when I was thirteen years old as an engine wiper in Belvidere. Then I went to firing. Firing an engine wasn't any fun in those days, with the old wood burners. We would have to stop every seventy miles for wood. Now a modern engine can carry enough coal to run 200 miles without a stop.
"I was with the army from 1861 to 1865 and was confined six months in the Andersonville prison."

His elder daughter, Lady Alleen Mary Roberta, who was born in 1870, is unmarried. Lady Edwina was born in 1875. Her husband, Major Henry Frederick Elliott Lewin, who is in the Royal Field artillery, is the son of Commander Lewin, R. N., and was born in 1872. After serving two years in the Londonderry artillery militia, in 1894 he joined the Royal artillery. In 1900 he became captain, and the next year joined the Egyptian army. From 1909 to 1911 he was military secretary to the Sidar, Sir Francis Wingate, and in the latter year was promoted major. He is now in command of the 142nd Abttery, R. F. A. at Bordon.
island. Here is an Australian writer's estimate of him:
"Mr. Deakin is one of those charming personalities, like Sir Wilfrid Laurier or Mr. Balfour, who counts as many warm personal friends amongst his political opponents as he does amongst his own partisans. 'He can throw a halo of attraction around the orifice of Hades' is the phrase in which one of his contemporaries has expressed Mr. Deakin's superlative powers as an orator, and to these powers of speech he joins a literary ability, a spirit of idealism, and a readiness for self-effacement which make him a unique figure among present day politicians of the common-wealth."

HARK YE! WOMEN!
A speaker in Ilinois, opposing that
state's “Separate Marriage” bill, said,
last week:
*Such laws leave the Colored girl
absolutely helpless before the lust of
white men, It redices them, in the

MENELIK AND ABYSSINIA,
If Menelik of Abyssinia is really
dead, one of the impressive characters
of the day has passed. The mighty
sovereign who by his own energy and
genius established a vast African em-
pire on a basis too firm to be doubted
by the land hungry powers of Europe
is assured of a permanent place in his-
tory. A man who could build up a
solid state from the elements which
Menelik had at hand, and who could
hold his own with Europe, both in
diplomacy and in war, must have pos-
sessed a mind in some degree Nayo-
leonic.
‘The story of “Meneltk, the Black.”
and of Abyssinia is irresistibly fase
nating. The thought of a Christian
people, isolated in the interior of Af-
Flea for fifteen centuries, maintaining
thelr primitive faith untouched by the
councils and controversies and relig-
fous wars of the outer world, impels
the reader who knows a little of Abys-
sinia to seek to learn much more. A
code of laws practically unchanged
since the time of Justinian, a feudal
system not materially different trom
that of medieval Europe, a Semitic
languagé debased but not destroyed
by iiges of contact with the gibberish
of surrounding savagery: these: are
points. of Abyssinian lore worthy of
the attention of outer humankind,
‘The two predecessors of Menelik
were men of ambition and courage,
Dut they lacked the craftiness and
constructive ability of the last “king
of kings.” Theodore met his death
probably by suleide, after losing the
battle of Magdaia to the British in
1868; whife John was kitled in battle
‘against the Mahdists at Galabat in
1889." Menelik succeeded In making
himself “king of kings” through the
aid of the Italians, but immediately
Italian claim to @ protectorate. War
finally resulted, and the Italians were
terribly defeated by the Abyssinians
fat the battle of Adowa i 1896, Since
‘then no European power has ventured
‘even to hint at interference in Abys:
sinian attairs,
Menelik established a modern coin:
age, set up telephones and telegraphs,
‘even permitted the building of a rail-
road by the Prench from their port
of Jibuti, which is now completed to
within about 150. miles of the Abys-
sinian capital. Although, he remained
absolute monarch, he established a
cabinet in European style. His army
ig well drilled and provided with mod-
em arms. But ‘these things have
scarcely scratched the surface of a
nation which is in thought and insti-
tutions about a, thousand years behind
the times.
Whether or not the anachronism of
@ medieval Christian empire maintain:
Ing itself and {ts institutions in the
twentieth century can continue after
the guiding genius of Menelik has de-
parted is at least doubtful. One man
alone saved Abyssinia when the vul-
tures of Europe were ready to devour
the weak, disunited and semibarbar-
ous land. Perhaps the feast was only
postpenied.—~Cleveland Daily Plain

OHIO'S SEPARATE MARRIAGE
BILL.
| A marked copy of The Gazette of
last week, was sent to each member
of the Ohio House of Representatives
and Senate at Columbus, in an effort
to acquaint the members thereof with
our side of the antiinmarriage bill
question. The latter has been recom:
mended for passage by the judiciary
committee of the House, and unless
Jour people of this state arouse them
selves from their dormant condition
and get very active in thelr opposi
tion to the insulting and outrageous
measure, It will pass, What are you
‘doing, reader, if a resident of this
‘state, to help kill the pernicious bin?
‘See the members of the State Senate
and House in your county as soon as
you can, and enter vigorous protest
against House Bill, No. 27 which you
will find published elsewhere in this
paper. Then see that delegations,
composed of the very best men and
women to be secured in your com-
niunity, are sent to Columbus, just as
soon as possible—before it is too late
—to talk with the members of the
Assembly und urge them to vote
against and kill that separate marriage
bill, im the interest of good morals,
if for no other reason, and there are
many. This Is absolutely necessary.
Here is real work also for our State
Federatiop of Women’s Clubs particu:
larly, all other state and local organi
rations, churches, lodges, etc., and
jeaders of our people in the various
ommunities of Ohio, Again we warn
yur readers and people of the state
hat prompt action is absolutely nec-
Beary if the bill is te be Killed as it
hould snd must be. Our people of
Cansas and Iowa have blazed the way
y doing that very thing with the bills

\ssemblies of those states, recently,
nd we can do it too, IF WE WILL!

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—In view
of the fact that a member of the Ohio
Legislature has made the mistake one
of Michigan's members has—of intro-
ducing an anti-intermarringe bill; and
also recognizing the interest you must
take in the matter as a member of the
race who has served three terms in
the Ohio Legislature, and for thirty
years published our “old reliable” Ga-
zette, 1 am sending you the following
letter—protest, first published in. the
Detroit Free Press of Feb. 2, '13, hop-
ing that you, too, will find room for it
in The Gazette:
‘To the Editor: Recently I had the
Pleasure of reading in a local journal
an excerpt from a statement made by
Rabbi Fleischer, a Boston white man,
‘in which it was stated he said that he
“would marry a Negro woman if she
appealed to him and would give his
daughter to a Negro gentleman if they
loved each other.” In 1903 during a
lecture delivered at the Light Guard
armory, in this city, Benjamin Tillman
of South Carolina, in answer to a ques-
[tion by the writer as to “where so
many people of mixed white and black
blood came from in his section of the
“country,” made a similar “confession
of faith,” but from a far different
premise. He said: “White men al-
Ways mix their blood with native races
where ever they go,” obviously mean:
ing that the white people of the south
had mixed their blood with the Ne.
groes of that section, which resulted
in the large proportion of mixed blood
found in the southern population not:
withstanding their laws forbidding in-
termarriage. It appears, then, a more
or less mixture of the blood 6f differ
ent races is bound to result from the
fact that two or more races occupy
the same land fn any event. And it
seems that the only question before
[the people is the method of permit.
ting that mixture. The method Dr.
Fleischer would pursue is the civil
zed, humane, honorable and it may be
added, even in his case, the Christian
method of permitting the blood mix.

approved by Mr. Tillman is the self-
‘ish, Immoral and altogether heathen

method, for he would limit the privi-
lege of “blood mixing” to white men
and black women only, for he further
said when making the above state.
ment that, “white women never do.”
Of course, the wish in this last case
was'father to the thought for'if “white
men” always, mix their blood with
“native races,” laws or no laws, and
“white women never do,” then in hea-
ven's name why do white men burden
the statutes of the states with laws
preventing honorable intermarriage
between those who always mix their
blood without regard to law and thus
encourage immorality and_irresponsi-
bility? Itseems clear that Dr. Fleisch:
er has taken the saving and righteous
view of this question. Perhaps, in
making his statement he was foliow-
ing the example set by one of the il
lustrious forefathers of his people,
Moses, who the Bible tells us, “mar.
ried an Ethiopian woman." Here in
Michigan the races have been free to
intermarry since 1884 when Senator
Romeyn, a Democrat, had a Dill
passed removing the disability, since
then about 30 mixed couples of the
better class have married, 1 know of
no instance among these marriages
where the results have not been en-
tirely satisfactory from every view-
point, save alone that of prejudice.
They always make devoted couples
and are never found in the divorce
courts. They live the lives of good
citizens, and the chuldren of such
marriages seem to reach above the av-
erage in many respects, becoming pro-
fessionals, business people and lead-
ers both socially and otherwise. I can
call by name every family of the class
mentioned in Michigan and know in-
timately the results above outlined.
Of the 30,000 so-called Negro popula-
tion in Michigan, more than 29,000 are
of mixed white and black blood. Not

sure. Certainly there is no reason for
such a law. If the Negro is so ugly
that it would be a good thing to get
rid of him why not rather pass a law
preventing the intermarriage of Ne-
Rroes. ‘This would elther force them
to marry whites or remain unmatried
‘and in comparatively few years there
‘would be no more Colored faces in the
country. This, of course, is only a
‘suggestion. The better way Is to leave
inviolate the freedom of contract even
in the matter of marriage, as between
healthy and mentally competent peo:
ple, ‘There are jst as high ambitions
under Colored skins as there are un-
der white skins, but the proponents of
race prejudice have thus far succeeded
in limiting the opportunities for Ne
gro ambitions.
‘Then again, such laws as attempt to
prohibit marriage between the races
are upeonstitutional inasmuch as they
interfere with the religious duty of
both clergy and laymen. For it is the
command of holy writ, and of the laws
of several religious denominations, to
join in holy wedlock all those of their
members who rightfully apply, “right:
fully” according to church and law and
not by state statutes. And the consti-
tutions of all the states and of the
Lakh aes forbid any law that in-
terferes with religion. Bach citizen
being free to worship according to his
‘own conscience, which includes cer-
tain matrimonial duties. Father James
Reilly, the now venerable and saintly
priest’ of the mighty Catholle church,
always married mixed couples when
one was a Catholic in spite of the pro-
hibition before 1884, If the white peo-
ple of this nation have concluded that
the Negro people are to remain a part
of the population, then treat them as
though the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments and the various
states’ laws, forbidding discrimination

eee ree
MR. REPPERT.
A BILL 3
To amend Section 11181 of the Gen:
eral Code and provide what persons
may enter into @ marriage contract
Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly of the State of Ohio:
Section 1. That, Section 11181 of
the General Code bé amended s0 a9 to
read as follows:
Sec. 11181, Male persons of the
age of 18 years and female persons
of the age of 16 years, not nearer kin
than second cousing and not having
a husband Jor wife living, may be
joined a eaaee ‘Male persons un-
der the age of 21 years, and female
persons under the age of 18 years
must first obtain the consent of their
fathers, respectively, or in the case
of death or. incapacity of thelr fa
thers, then of their mothers or
guardians. Provided, however, that
the ‘intermarriage pf white persone
with Negroes, mulaitos, or persone of
mixed blood ‘descendant from a Ne-
gro to the third generation, inclusive,
or with Chinamen, their living to:
gether as man and wife in this State
is hereby prohibited. The persons
knowingly violating the provisions of
this section shall be deemed guilty
of a felony and upon conviction there-
of. shall undergo imprisonment in
the penitentiary not less than one or
more than five years andthe court
may in the event of conviction on the
recommendation of the jury substi-
tute in lieu of punishment in the pen:
itentiary, fine and imprisonment in
the county jail,
Section 2. That said original Sec
tion 11181 of the General Code of
Ohio be and the same is hereby re-
pealed.
We cannot commend too strongly
the following excerpt from an editorial
in the N.Y. Age of lust week:
“The Negro must fight for his rights,
the least and greatest, whenever they
are assailed, or he will have none in
the end. ‘The Separate Marriage law
scheme should be fought to the bitter
end. At the bottom of the whole
scheme to isolate the Negro citizens in
ail of the public and private relations
of life—in the industrial trades, skilled
and unskilled, by trades union rules
and regulations; in segregating them,
separating them to themselves in liv-
ing districts, in cities, villages and
counties, and in branding them by
law as so far inferfor that they may
not marry and give in marriage, as
other races of the citizenship are free
to do; in eating and drinking in places
of licensed accommodation and amuse-
ment, and in accommodations in
travel, by land and sea, as others are
free to do—at the bottom of the whole
scheme is to be found the slave-hold-
ers’ doctrine, as formulated into the
law of precedent by Chief Justice Rog-
er B, Taney of the Federal Supreme
Court in 1856, that ‘it has been so far
held to be good law and precedent that
a black man has no rights that a white
man is bound to respect.’

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and
Hair treatment is based on the lat-
est scientific and sanitary methods,
effecting a healthy scalp thus promo-
ting a growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our client has a child who begins to grow as the reason the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalpel and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition often proves fatal to disease persons coming in contact with them. For treatment, call on or address: MISS KATIE B. COLLIER, 4812 Payne Ave., Cleveland, Ohio.

The "Busy Bee" club entertainment at St. John's A. M. E. church, last Friday evening, was well attended and the participants, all appeared to splendid advantage, and Mrs. Minerva Taylor, president of the club, and her assistants, deserve great credit.
Mr. Jefferson Coe of E. 39th St. is catering for some of the wealthiest people of this city and leading social organizations. For years he has been known among Cleveland's "400" as one of the few very best in that line, here, and that recognition still stands. Good!*

Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette, will lecture on "The Progress of the Race" at Shiloh Baptist church, Sunday afternoon (3 p. m.). March 16, under the auspices of the Du Bois Literary club. Tell your friends and family which he read at St. Andrews church (16 p. m.) afterward. The "shabby" treatment accounted the officers of the Du Bois Literary club (under whose auspices the lecture was given) by the rector of the church, has been the cause of much adverse comment ever since. They were very indignant.
Hon Henry T. Eubank's funeral services at St. Andrews' P. E. church, Saturday afternoon, were largely attended, Bishop Leonard officiating, assisted by Dean Du Moullin, and the rector, Dean B. W. Paxton. The floral tributes were well received, moving from friends out of the city. The music furnished by the choir was most appropriate and added much to the impressiveness of the sad occasion. Interment in Lake View Cemetery. Mrs. Eubank's her son and mother, Mrs. Harmon, have the heartfelt sympathy of the community.
Mrs. M. S. Bedford, age 62, of 3410 Central Ave. died, Sunday afternoon, and was buried, Wednesday afternoon, from Cory M. E. church, the pastor officiating. She leaves two daughters and two sons to mourn her loss. Mrs. Bedford was one of our best residents of this city, a thorough race woman, an active church worker and a grand mother. The family has the heartfelt sympathy of the community. One of our most promising young ladies, a teacher in the local public schools, is her daughter, Miss Cornelia.
Mrs. Minnie Scott of Lima, president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, who spoke at St. John's church, Sunday evening, the 16th, had a fair audience but proved disappointing for two reasons. One—because, she made absolutely no reference to the all-important (to our women) "Separate Marriage" bill pending in the Ohio Legislature; and the other—a very weak address to her. She is capable of much better effort and cannot understand her virtual failure here on the 16th.
As The Gazette predicted, Prof. Kelly Miller's lecture at M. Zion Congregational church, Tuesday evening, was all that was expected and much more. He is a well-known writer, an exceptionally fluent and able speaker, a scholar and a gentleman. On Wednesday evening, a banquet for twenty-five persons, arranged for A. J. A. J. Brown and W. Brown, the local post office was given at Adkins' restaurant, in honor of Prof. Miller, who is dean of the faculty of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and one of the greatest mathematicians, black or white, in this country. Too much honor cannot be paid him because he is a great credit to the race.
Mrs. W. H. Patterson, age 66 years, of 2217 E. 46th St., one of our oldest and best-known residents, died, Sunday, after many months' illness from a complication of constipation, trough, skin peeling, and four daughters. Mrs. Ella White, Mrs. Agnes Harris, Mrs. K. Dodge and Mrs. W. M. Joiner, all of whom have the sympathy of a host of friends in this city and elsewhere throughout the country. Mrs. Patterson, always public spirited and thoroughly interested in the efforts of the race, was ever ready when in good health to be able to attend the assistance of our churches and other organizations as well as individuals. Her death is a distinct loss to our people of this community.
Mrs. S. Wilson of E. 28th St., is convalescent.
If you owe The Gazette please pay promptly. It is, at least, encouraging.

Harvey Armstrong underwent an operation for appendicitis at Los Angeles, Cal., last week, Tuesday, and is doing nicely, so Mr. Earl Parker writes The Gazette. He also says that Mr. Sam Penteeost expects to return to Cleveland soon.
Do not forget that the Silver Leaf Trio will be at the Alpha Theater, Sunday again. They are fine. All next week the great Royal Sinhalese Troupe of dancers (from Ceylon) will entertain and they are wonders. Tell your friends—Adv.
A seventeen-year-old Afro-American youth at Elkhart, ind., has invented a device to muffle gas propelled motors, and if it proves as successful as mechanicians examining it have predicted, it will be worth a big sum of money to the inventor.
H. C. Tuck of Oberlin, was in the city, Wednesday, and in company with Garrett A. Morgan paid The Gazette sanctum sanctorum a pleasant visit. The latter successfully demonstrated his smoke helmet in Youngstown, last week, and has orders from that city, also.
The "States' Rally" at Shiloh Baptist church has started most promising indeed and it is anticipated that $2500 will be readily raised in the next few months. One of the "states" (clubs), "Michigan," gave a very successful entertainment at Mrs. Eva White's, E. 24th St., and Marion Ave. Monday evening.
Edna Turner, indicted for second degree murder but whom a criminal court jury found guilty of manslaughter, was sentenced to two years in the Ohio penitentiary. Tuesday, by Common Pleas Judge F. B. Gott. She shot and killed her lover, Howard Tapisco during a quarrel at Sovillac Ave. S. E. and E. 38th Pl., Jan. 17.
Mrs. W. E. Clemens of Toledo, and Mrs. Nettie Reeuse of Freemont, came from the latter city, last week Friday, to attend the "All Star" recital and surprise their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, whose guests they were while in the city. Mrs. Taylor's club carried off the honors in St. John's rally, raising $675.17. She has every reason to praise the great success. Too much praise cannot be given, Dr. Chas Bundy, too, for the splendid manner in which he marshalled his host of workers and for the excellent results attained.
Our City Federation of Women's clubs will hold its third open meeting, Thursday evening, at Antioch Baptist church. The program, being arranged by Miss Eleanor Alexander, is to be exceptionally good.

F. is entitled to all privileges in each meeting, according to the amended constitution.

A final report of all events will be made, Monday evening, when a jubilee will follow.
The Ladies' Cortie club held its first anniversary celebration, last Friday afternoon, at Mrs. P. Johnson Tarrer's E. 100th St. Thirty-four ladies enjoyed a very interesting program prepared by a committee of which Mrs. Jesse Washington was, chairman. Mrs. Tarrer, hostess, and Mrs. Bonapart, president, welcomed them, Mrs. J. Judie and Miss Minnie Cheavous gave select readings on club organiza- tion, so that Mrs. Rosary" and musical selections were rendered by Miss Arle Payne and Mrs. C. H. Young. The out-of-town guest was Mrs. John Pierman of Hamilton, Canada, who is visiting Mrs. Ralph E. Jackson of E. 82d St. The refreshment committee, Mrs. Malone, chairman, showed excellent judgment and taste in the preparation of the lunch.
The following persons attended the banquet to Prof. Kelly Miller, referred to elsewhere in these columns: Daniel Fairax, Dr. F. H. Weaver, Robert Drake, Garrett Morgan, Fred. D. Sampson, Hon. Harry C. Smith, Theodore B. Green, Esq., Alex. H. Martin, Esn., James A. Rogers, Geo. W. Brown, Dr. A. J. M. Howard, J. S. Hall, A. M. Park, Willow. Landr, Dr. J. K. Nickens, Ed. Smith, Dr. E. H. Dale, T. R. Harris, Rev. G, Dr. E. H. Dale, S. Steelg, gr., P. Lemon Rev. G, V. Steelg, gr., P. Lemon Rev. G, Hodgson and Prof. Miller, Lack of time (before going to press, Thursday morning) makes it impossible to write a more extended notice. Nearly every one spoke and all the responses were as enjoyable as Prof. Miller's interesting response.
The Du Bois Literary club desires to thank all who contributed to the success of its recent drama; especially Krischner Bros., the Royal Furniture Co. Travis & Straward, Hon. Harry C. Smith and The Gazette and J. W. Wills. Total receipts: $71; expenses, $36; balance, to date, $35.

Youngstown, O.—Mrs. W. C. Harris spent the 18th ult. in Greenwood, Pa., with her husband and relatives, it being his 66th birthday. He received a fine gold watch, chain and charm from his wife. Mr. Harris is well known among the theatrical and musical people the country over as "C. Wright Harris," a cornetist and violinist of exceptional ability, years ago, when he headed the largest and best Aatro American minstrel companies that his wife had been a part of. He has led and taught many local white and Colored bands and orchestras, including theater orchestras. For many years he has been one of our very best musicians—leader, director and soloist. May he live much longer and continue to prosper is the wish of the editor of *The Gazette*—Benj. Johnson died in Chicago, on the 19th, after a brief illness. He was a musician, and had been in the west about a year, when he was in the city of burial, the funeral being held from his mother's home. Beside his mother and step-father, Mr. Thad. Wilson, he leaves three sisters and two brothers. Mrs. Richard Wickfield of Jamestown, N. Y., who attended the funeral, is a sister. Dr.J. M. Gilmere returned from Cleveland and is feeling fine after a brief illness. Miss Bessie Robinson, aged 22 years, died, the 20th, as the result of a complication of diseases. The remains were taken to number 100 in the museum. A very successful gold coin contest and men's rally was held at St. Mary's church, the 22d and 23d nit. by the trustee board—Mrs. Q. Robinson entertained the Chrysanthemum club, the 17th—Mrs. Alice Washington, aged 50, died at St. Elizabeth hospital, the 16th ult. Interment in Belmont cemetery—Mrs. Taylor is still ill—Mrs. Lee is improving. (Correspondent must mail his newspaper, earlier on Mondays.

Washington, D. C.—The choral concert presented at Howard Theater, recently, by the Washington Conservatory of Music was, like all of their concerts, a delightful success in quality, length and audience. It is the home of the patrons and many of the students of the conservat of uplifting classics, will be a helpful contribution to the general culture of our young people. The large audience was a compliment to the work and purpose of this, our first and only Mission school of Music, conducted by Afro-Americans. The Choral Society, but recently organized, re-created the music of its capable director, Mr. Harry A. Williams of Cleveland, O. The program was as follows:

The rendition of the "Firefly" by Miss Jeanne Kelly, the well-known dramatic soloist, brought a persistent encore. The concert indeed was most enjoyable and all are looking forward with great interest to the presentation of the soloist, the Choral Society, this evening, at Howard Theater. An account of it will be sent The Gazette, next week.
Forcing Jack Johnson to trial for alleged white slavery, the supreme court Monday upheld the constitutionality of the Mann white slave law, prohibiting interstate traffic in women and girls. That human bodies as well as more valuable may be held out for interstate commemoration by the government was the principal finding of the court. Johnson, awaiting trial in Chicago, had appealed his case to the supreme court, on the ground the Mann law was unconstitutional. Jack is critically ill from pneumonia at his home in Chicago, out of couple of weeks", said Lucile Cameron Johnson, his wife. "He's a little improved, but his condition is still dangerous."

HER HUSBAND NOT BIBULOUS
Old Woman Snorted in Court Her
Liege Lord Knew Nothing at
All About the Holy Bible.
She looked like a real old southern mammy, and when she appeared before Judge Marsh in the stapleton police court over on Staten island as complainant on a charge of assault and battery against her liege lord and master, her speech did not belle her appearance. A bottle of gin had been the cause of all the trouble, she said, and added that her husband was drunk most of the time. After listening patiently to a long tale of intemperance, Judge Marsh remarked to the defendant:
"If what your wife is is true, I should imagine you to be a rather bibulous person."
"Bibulous!" snorted the old woman.
"Bibulous! Ah beg yo' pahdon, suh, but dat niggha doan know no mo' bour' de Bible dan mah sishah's cat's tail—an' what's mo' ahin't got no sishah."

MONK WAS GOOD INVESTMENT
Ingenious Method of Irishman for Securing Winter's Coal—Tramps Couldn't Hit Him.
An Italian organ grinder possessed a monkey which he the "worked" through the summer months. When the cool day of the fall came his business fell off and he discontinued his walks and his melodies. An Irishman of his aigu inance offered him ten cents a day for the privilege of keeping and feeding the little beast. The bargain was made for a month.
Great curiosity filled the mind of the Italian, and at last, unable to restrain himself, he went obsessibly to see his pet, but really to find what possible use Pat could make of the monkey. The Irishman was frank "It is loike this," he said, "I put up a pole in me back yard with the monk on the top. Tin or twelve thrials of cars loaded with coal go by every even." There's thrums on every car. Every man takes a heave at the monk. Divil a man has hit him, but Ol have seventeen tons of coal." Argonaut.

"How are you, Hilda?"
"I well, I like my job. We got cremated collar, cemetery plumbing, elastic lights—and a hoosit."
"What's a 'hoosit', Hilda?"
"Oh, a bell rings. You put a thing to your ear and say 'Hello', and some one says 'Hello', and you say 'hoosit.'"—British American.
Had Nothing Else.
"I believe you, married me for my money!"
"You 'believe!' Good heavens, if you had had a lick of sense you would have known that was what I was up to when I proposed."
"I'd like to know how I could have known it?"
"You had only to look in the mirror."
Reasonable Doubt.
A doctor was attending a dangerous case where a Scotch butter was engaged. On calling in the forenoon he said to Donald: "I hope your master's temperature is lower today than it is tonight." "I'm not sure very sure about that," replied the butter, "for he deed' this morning"—Argonaut.

IN YELLOW SHADES
Costumes of That Color Just Now
Most Popular in Paris.
Soft Materials Have the Widest Vogue in the Gay Capital—Pronounced Effects Put Forward by Leading Modistes.
PARIS.—Velour de laine, that soft, woolly silken tissue that arrived in the autumn and was so popular till satins and silks usurped its place later, has now reappeared and will close the present season for winter costumes.
The velour de laine and drap de laine are both immensely popular, the former thicker and softer than the latter, which is very like satin-face cloth. Both are amenable to draping and both are becoming because of the soft surface. All colors look well in these materials, and those in bordaux and yellows are adorable. The popularity of yellows is really astonishing. Every piece of stuff seems a shade different. All are seductive save the sulphur; and in satin, and worn by a black-haired woman, even this is not without virtue.
Citron is a shade that will go into early spring, also suede. Such tones as chalk, putty and oyster have been modish a long time, but they may be continued through another season, since the fashion dealers appear to have exhausted the whole range of colors. Black was their refuge three years ago, but now with the black are colors, and without doubt the dyers are in despair. But they have never been found wanting and probably shades to be shown next month will differ only slightly from those we have been seeing.
Pronounced Styles Favored:
The latest styles show dresses with a plain tunic in front and a draped back, or vice versa. The draping is flat and does not look at all out of place in front. Just so it cuts the figure bias, or straight up and down, that is all that is necessary. I was told today that all the dressy afternoon costumes of satin or silk for spring would have the little train like that of the evening dress this winter. The idea is pretty and extremely graceful, but it is impractical in a frock if one thinks of wearing it on the street.
Apropos of spring fabrics, crepe de chine, after a long absence, will return. The material is soft and clinging, qualities so suited to the modes of the moment that it is a wonder the coutriers have not called it into service before this. Taffetas will not be fashionable, although it does show wonderful effects in colors. But it does not in the least drape prettily, and even the most supple quality has a way of standing out from the figure.
A brown yellow, that is beautiful in any material, is that of Oriental tobacco, a rich, brilliant dye that arrived during the winter. It is of course much lighter than Havana brown, yet has the same general tone. This is nothing more than a soft, deep gold, something like old-fashioned tan, yet with more yellow. The Oriental tobacco is superb in velvet, also in satin and in crepe de chine. It does not take well with other combinations of colors. I saw a dress yesterday of satin that shade, trimmed in little buttons of the same. At the neck, to cover a pointed fichu effect that was too decoulette, a plain piece of white mousseline was put across. At the belt was a big rose with dark green foliage. Any other combination would have spoilt the yellow, I am sure.
Black Coats Over Light Satin.
Since Christmas nothing has seemed handsomer than costumes of light satins, with a half-long coat of black plush or fur. The jackets in brocade, made Russian blouse, are handsome, and seven o'clock one sees an army of such costumes on the Rue de la Paix. Women have finished tea and before taking their autos they promenade up and down the famous street, either to look in the windows or to view the elegant crowd that is also promenading. Fashionily gowned women make a practice of circulating here at this hour. They simply walk up and down the length of the few blocks which constitute the most famous shopping quarter in the world. When one has made the "tour" three or four times, the hour has passed. Anyway, one has seen every one else in the parade and there is no use staying longer.
I am told that the very simple effect of blouses and corsages will be modified and that embroidery will be used. Not much, but enough to make a change and have things look new. The Grecian effects will be repeated both in afternoon and evening gowns, which means that drapery will be used as much as ever. Where draping is not employed, tiny knife plats will run straight up and down in the center of the back and front. Sometimes even with these plats drapery will fall to at least one side. Corseted as the fashionable woman is, the designer may now loop goods on her form to his heart's content, and this he surely will continue to do.
Small Touches and Hats
The little toque and round hat suits well the Fotticelli mode of dressing the hair. Never were effects so flat and never was less false hair used. The smaller the head the better. The only thing some women use is a roll to pose at the back of the head and on this to place their hair, the ends of which are turned in. At this place some kind of a barrette is fastened to
Curious Fish Washed Ashore.
A curious fish, which at first sight looked like a whale, was recently washed up on the beach at Fortrose, Ross, Scotland. Its mouth was situated on the under side of a large rounded nose, and contained only six teeth, and these on the under jaw. Side fins were entirely wanting. Its eyes—very small—were situated in a line continuous with the foot. In length the animal measured ten feet, its tail resembling that of a whale. The diameter of the body—measured
cover the spot where a few stray hairs always show. The mass of hair is marcelled once a fortnight or so, and if there be not too many short hairs the effect will be neat. While extreme simplicity is followed in regard to the hair, this very essential is difficult to attain. It is like the very plain dresses that take a master hand to cut and finish. Care and patience are essential to the novice who tries to coif herself, but the hair can be trained like anything else, and after a few times it will begin to yield returns. All about the temples and forehead must be covered, and yet quite enough space left about the eyebrows to show their shape and the color of the skin round them. The fashionable woman covers her ears under the tress that is brought squarely across them.
Setting Off the Low Forehead.
Everything seems to incline to the low forehead, and for a woman who has not such, this is easily secured by bringing the hair over the forehead and fastening it there with an invisible pin. When the hair is caught back in the chignon, the front looks quite natural. Everything is possible in fashions of hair dressing, and perhaps in a few years the high foreheaded beauty may arrive. Such a fancy was followed a century ago, originated by a leader at court who was afflicted with a forehead that extended several inches above her nose. In order to flatter and please the dame, all the court beauties had their hair shaved over the forehead, and history says that people began to like the result so well that for a decade or so the high forehead was the thing.
No one can oppose the artist who declares that a low forehead is a mark of beauty, but such a thing has its limitations, and a forehead must be broad and the hair grow a certain way in order to be dainty. Coeffeurs in Paris know that their clients wish to appear young and coquettish, hence
the return to the very low forehead.
The hair worn near the eyebrows has a way of mercifully concealing the ravages of time, also that brought over the temples and around the ears.
So women of middle age and those passing beyond have fashion's dictates to thank for helping to keep them comparatively young and fresh.
The Afternoon Dress.
The effective dress pictured is in Gobelin blue fine cloth. The skirt is plain at back, and has curved wrapped seams at front that lie over a plain piece of material at lower part; buttons form trimming.
The bodice has a vest of piece lace, over which from just above bust to waist pieces of material braided at edge form an over-vest.
The long sleeves are wide above elbow, then are drawn in to fit tightly below elbow, where they are trimmed with black buttons; the collar of black satin forms a square at back, then is carried down in nails, ends to waist and back. Walsh waistband black satin, with one fringed end falling at left side.
New Ideas In Sleeves
It is in the sleeves that radical changes may be expected this spring. Ever since the kimono sleeve began to lose caste the designers have attempted to introduce all sorts of new ideas into sleeves. But there is the satisfaction that it has brought into prominence sleeves of so many types that it is possible for every woman to select becoming ones. The low shoulder seam, so well received the earlier part of this winter, retains the popular feature of the kimono sleeve. The enlarged armhole is likewise an easy transition for the devotees of the kimono. On the newest gowns the armhole has shrunk to its normal proportions, and the novelty lies in the arrangement of the fulness of the sleeve. Fight as women may against fulness in the sleeves, fashion seems to favor it, and it is sure to come if the signs in the fashion world are read correctly.

fin, shaped not unlike a rudder, was situated on the back about midway between head and tall, and measured 18 inches in length, while two narrow fins two feet long were situated under the head. The color over the whole body consisted of yellowish white.

Somebody who is not in horticulture has a plant named the compensation plant, because it always has a blossom on it somewhere. The pleasant symbolism of it is obvious, and it is a good kind of plant to have a slip from. If you are an artist, it may suggest to you just why you do not make more money. Emerson says artists often complain of making too little money, although as artists they have such good times making pictures, he couldn't see why they also expected money. There is an agreeable philosophy in recognizing compensation. For example, you can enjoy your neighbor's tree without having the care of its trimming.
The world—at any rate, the great world—was very much the same as it is now, except that, young ladies eloped with their tutors instead of their chauffeurs, and that the prevailing society craze was sheinmaking, so that the most telling boast for a belle at a ball was that her feet were shod with shoes constructed by her own fair hands—London Athenaeum.
