Foreign After fifty hours' fighting, during which rebels attacked the city of Parral, state of Chihuahua, Mexico, while the townpeople rioted, burning the market place and attacking the banks, the federal garrison repulsed the enemy and in street fights subdued the inhabitants. The militant suffragettes were driven from a hall in Nottingham, England, by the most hostile crowd they have yet encountered, and the would-be speakers were saved from probable injury through the efforts of the police. The Austrian government demanded, through its minister to Servia, that all Servian troops be immediately withdrawn from the siege of the fortress of Seutart, near the Montenegrin frontier, and which is to become the Albanian capital under the plans adopted by the European powers for an autonomous Albania. Terrific dynamite explosion wrecked the town of Arder in Ayrshire, twenty miles from Glasgow, Scotland. The number of dead is not yet known. The injured number hundreds.

That there must be peace in the Latin-American republics and that this peace must be maintained without any steps toward personal aggrandizement, is the keynote of a statement by President Wilson outlining his policy toward the Central and Southern American republics. Secretary of State Bryan has been invited to take charge of the Young Men's Bible class in the First Presbyterian church Sunday school Washington, and in consequence the membership of the class is going up by leaps and bounds. Mr. Bryan has not yet accepted. The nomination of John H. Marble to be a member of the interstate commerce commission was confirmed by the U. S. senate. The edict has gone forth that the Wilson-Marsshall administration shall be a "white ribbon" affair with no wines or liquors served at any entertainment. Not only do the president and Mrs. Wilson and their daughters taboo the sparkling cup, but also do the vice-president and Mrs. Marshall, the secretary of state and Mrs. Bryan and nearly all the cabinet. Loan sharks, driven out of Washington by the drastic terms of a bill passed by the last congress, have not only established offices at the Virginia end of the long bridge which connects the District of Columbia with the Old Dominion, but have organized a free automobile service from Washington for intending borrowers. President Wilson has re-appointed Charles P. Neill as commissioner of labor. John C. Roper of South Carolina was nominated by the president to be first-assistant postmaster general. Domestic Broadening the scope of its investigations, the Illinois senatorial vice commission will tour the east, visiting the principal cities of New York and Pennsylvania, in an effort to stimulate a nation-wide inquiry and effect federal legislation on the minimum wage for women. The expenses of the trip will be borne by the state. After discovering flames in the Motley public school in Chicago, during the absence of the principal, two boys, aged twelve and fourteen, acting on their own initiative, sounded the large fire gong which sent 1,200 children and twenty-one teachers marching in orderly procession to the street. Dr. A. G. Six, a prominent physician of Lawrence, Mich., shot and killed himself a few minutes before he was to have consulted with authorities regarding a mysterious fire which destroyed his home, in which his wife and daughter were burned to death. Forest fires that still are burning have destroyed thousands of cords of bark and timber and have entailed heavy losses to the farms of the Blue Ridge mountains, Virginia. The Kansas senate at Topeka defeated the eight-hour bill for women when it was placed on its final passage. The bill was defeated through the efforts of members from country districts where such changes in working hours would entirely disarrange business. Warrants were issued in Miami, Fla., for the arrest of a man known as Judge J. M. Rateman, said to be from Atlanta and believed to be the brains of the old J. C.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. MAN OF FINE ATTAINMENTS Brief Sketch of an Assistant Corporation Counsel's Notable Career in New York—Won Scholarship Honors In College and Subsequently Became Leader in Many Good Movements. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York. That the race is capable of producing highly trained and capable lawyers who are a credit to the bar and the race is seen in James D. Carr, who for nearly nine years has been an assistant corporation counsel in this city. This position is one of the most responsible and trustworthy offices held by a member of the race here and is given only in recognition of ability and service. Mr. Carr is the only colored man in the eastern section of the country to be appointed to such an office and has a rare opportunity to show up to advantage the best side of the race. He long has been a national figure in the political and civil life of the race in this country, and his large experience in civic movements has given him a wide acquaintance with the needs of the race. He was appointed an assistant district attorney of New York county by Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner, a democratic district attorney, being the first ATTORNEY JAMES D. CARR. colored man in the country to be appointed to such an office, and prosecuted cases in all the courts of the county from the beginning to the end of his term. While in this capacity Counselor Carr, by his splendid knowledge of the law and the exercise of rare executive ability, maintained the dignity and honor of the office. For general education, wide attainments, for dignity of deportment and bearing, Mr. Carr has few equals at the bar today. He comes from a good Maryland family stock, which has bequeathed to him a rugged heritage. He was born in Baltimore, the son of the Rev. Dr. William T. Carr, now of Concord, N. C. his brother, Dr. William T. Carr, Jr., is a well known practicing physician in Baltimore. Coursing in his veins are many strains of blood—English, Huguenot, Indian, Negro and Scotch-Irish. Attorney Carr was educated in the public schools of New Haven, Conn., and Elizabetht, N. J. He then graduated from the preparatory school of Rutgers college, standing first in the classical section, being its only colored graduate. At the end of his junior years he was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society for scholarship and was also a member of the Cleveland Democratic club. He is also a graduate of the law school of Columbia university. Lawyer Carr took a post graduate course for three years in the famous school of political science of Columbia university, one of his subjects being international law, under the eminent authority, Professor John Bassett Moore, formerly assistant secretary of state. Before his admission to the bar in 1855 he began the fight against the hypocrisy and ingratitude of some of the political leaders in this state toward the colored voters and won a signal victory. For over sixteen years he has been on the firing line and has been one of the most active and intense colored Democrats in the country, contributing to the spread of Democratic principles among the colored voters of the country, as much as any man in the country, white or colored. Mr. Carr is one of the leading men in the Colored Democratic organization of this city and state. He was appointed to his present office nearly nine years ago by Judge John J. Delany, then corporation counsel, a Democrat. In all of the trustworthy and responsible offices to which Mr. Carr has been appointed he has reflected credit upon himself and the race. He is a thorough race man, and his movements in civic and political affairs are actuated by the highest motives. SENIOR LAW CLASS BANQUET. Future Legal Lights of Howard University Make Their Initial Bow. The "coming out" banquet of the senior class of the law department of Howard university on Feb. 21 at Gray's, in Washington, was a veritable "feast of reason and a flow of soul." A larger or more progressive gathering of young men of the race have never put their feet beneath a festal board in the nation's capital. It represented an inspiration for the present and a glowing promise for the future. The program of speeches, embracing a number of topics of practical value and strong contemporaneous interest, was as follows: The Progress of Criminal Law Reform. Chester A. Carpenter. The Rebellion of the University of Pennsylvania. Camara Toll's. Peter R. Lee; The Political Status of the American Negro. John H. Berry; "Evolution of Law and the Law of the People." A Capchart; "The Relation of Judicial Procedure to Government." Garfield C. Thompson; "Federal Control of Corporations." Edward R. Dryer; "Our Moral Rights." Fifty Years of Freedom. Huyer I. Brown; "Class of 13." Arthur E. Briscoe. Mr. Arthur A. Rhambo acquitted himself admirably as tostmaster. An opportunity for brief discussion was allowed, and a brilliant array of supplementary talks was given by members of the class not down on the regular program. Felicitous addresses were delivered by Professor W. H. H. Hart of the faculty of Howard Law school and Mr. R. W. Thompson, president of the National Negro Press association, who were special guests of the occasion. The class yell was a delightful feature. The officers of Howard's law class of 1913 are: President, John E. Roundtree; vice president, Robert D. Brooks; secretary, Arthur E. Briscoe; assistant secretary, William H. Tabis; treasurer, Harry J. Capehart; sergeant-at-arms, Garfield C. Thompson. The so-called committee was made up of Alonzo Ware, chairman; E. R. Dryer, Huver L. Brown, William H. Burrell, John H. Clinton, C. A. Carpenter, Artee H. Fleming, J. Artur Davis, Henry E. Dunne, Marian F. Harris, Edward E. Jones, Bernard L. Jackson, B. T. Montgomery, William H. Martin, James E. Puckner, John W. Robinson, Jacob L. Reid, Philip G. Reed and Joseph A. Thornton. The remaining members of the class are: William B. Bruce, J. H. Berry, Walter L. Browne and Alfred H. Rhambo. They hail from every section of the country and from the West India islands. Gray's microlight included dining room was a bower of beauty. American flags and bunting being displayed on the walls. The table sparkled with cut glass and Hayland china, and huge bouquets of tea roses added picture-suquence to the color scheme. Musical instruments were played on pianos during the discussion of the menu and between the speeches. The menu was got up in fine style. TIDAL WAVE OF INIMICAL LEGISLATION WIDELY FELT Afro-Americans Still Have Many Friends—Rabbi Hirsch Is Optimistic. In the midst of the great tidal wave of agitation and introduction of legislation against the intermarriage of white and colored persons in the various states let the colored race remember that it still has friends among the white people. Neither segregation nor prohibitory marriage laws can stop the progress of a race united in heart, purpose and constructive effort. There will always be strong defenders of truth and righteousness, persons of wealth and influence, who love justice and hate injustice to fellow human beings. As the enemies of the race increase, so will its friends multiply. Character, honesty and integrity are not judged by the color of a person's skin. They are virtues by which the world measures mankind. They are not to be bought or sold. They are nature's priceless jewels. Rabbi E. G. Hirsch, the great Jewish scholar, in a recent tribute paid to Dr. Booker T. Washington and the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute recently, used the following expressions to convey his meaning: "Have you ever thought that the great Son of Palestine was a carpenter's son? He did not have a classical education, but he learned the lesson of life in his father's carpenter shop. He did not go to academies, but he heard his divine Father's call. "Whatever message he had he clothed it in the phraseology not of the counting room and not of the drawing room, but in the impressive vocabulary of the farmer and the artisan. "In practicing and learning to practice the religion of labor you at Tuskegee become Christianized in the spirit of the great Teacher and Judaized in the spirit of the Jewish prophets." New Branch Library In Louisville. The library board in Louisville, Ky., has appropriated $4,000 toward the starting of a branch library in the eastern section of the city. The library will be greatly appreciated by the colored citizens of the east end. The committee which has charge of the work will raise $1,000 from among members of the race. Interest In Iowa Masonic Affairs. Much interest is being taken by the members of the Masonic fraternity in Iowa. Grand Master John L. Thompson spent the third week in February making official visits to lodges in the western part of the state and in Nebraska. The jurisdiction of the order in Iowa is divided into three districts MUSIC CHARMS AUDIENCE. Miss Clarice Jones and Roland Hayes Heard in Brilliant Recital. Washington.—Roland W. Hayes of Boston, a tenor of pronounced talent, and Miss Clarice Jones of this city, a pianist whose fame is rapidly growing. In a recent joint recital charmed one of the most brilliant audiences ever seen in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel. Howard university. Both artists were received with unfeigned enthusiasm, and the program was one of rare excellence. Mr. Hayes is well known here, and his numbers were all applauded to the echo. His repertory for the evening embraced "Hymn to the Night" (Tipton); "The Beat of a Passionate Heart" (Phillips); "Celeste Alda" (Verdil); "The Sweetest Flower" (Batten); "Land of the Sky Blue Water" (Cadman); "Just Because" (Burleigh); "I Hear You Calling Me" (encore), concluding with "Onaway, Awake, Beloved Hlawath" (S. Coleridge-Taylor), Mr. K. Wilfred Tibbs, assistant director of music in Howard university, presided at the piano. The deepest interest of the occasion was, of course, in the work of Miss Clarice Jones, who made her initial appearance in public since her triumphant graduation last year from the Ithaca Conservatory of Music. In connection with Cornell university, where she carried off all the honors as a skilled pianist and interpreter of classic music. Her graduating recital at Cornell was admitted to have been the finest that historic institution had known in many years. At the Howard university recital, Miss Jones' selections ran the gamut of the classics, and the remarkable technique displayed by the young debutante has been the talk of Washington's music lovers. Her offerings included Sonata A major scherzo and rondo (Beechovian, Nocturne C minor (Chopin), Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 (Llaszt) and "Capice Espagnol," Moskowski, with encores demanded after each principal rendition. She was repeatedly recalled and was presented at the close of her first number with a beautiful shower bouquet of Killarney roses. The most competent critics say that Miss Jones has more than technical perfection at the piano. Not only does she handle the heaped up mechanical difficulties of the ponderous compositions of the music masters of Europe with ease and grace, but she gives full expression to the soul spirit couched in the rich riddles. With the vitalizing touch of genius, she adds life and color to flights that must be given their true emotional value to be effective. Miss Jones is the supreme mistress of varied effects. Her range is wonderful. Though slight in physical development, so well does she grasp the possibilities of her instrument that she is able to give to massive chord passages orchestral volume and power. Her tone coloring is of endless variety; her pianissimo are the acme of delicacy; her runs and arpeggio passages absolutely flawless, are of fairly lightness. The stately rhetorical loveliness of tone and meter is brought out in everything that demands exceptional treatment. ORGANIZED EDUCATIONAL WORK IN OLD DOMINION Teachers' Association Makes Optimistic Reports at Meeting in Norfolk. Norfolk, Va.—The Colored Teachers' Association and School Improvement league of Virginia met in Norfolk, Feb. 27 and 28, to report on the progress which has been made in improving rural schools and communities. The reports covered a wide field of observation and work and were in the main optimistic. This association and league seeks to combine all the educational forces at work among colored people in Virginia. It has the endorsement of the state department of education and is doing great good in the rural districts among the masses. E. A. Long, Cambria, Va., who is the president of the association and league, arranged an attractive program for the two day meeting. A summary of the program follows: "Value of Business Training." R. B. Saunders: "Grading For Rural Schools." W. B. Williams: "Geography." Miss A. E. E. Tucker: "Reading." Miss Sarah J. Walter: "Arithmetic." M. W. Connor: "How the Second Schools May Help the Public Schools." Rev. J. S. Russell: "Industrial Work For Rural Schools." Allda Banks: "Nogro Organization Society." Major R. B. Moton and J. M. Gandy. Addresses were delivered by Mrs. B. B. Munford, Richmond, president of the Co-operative Education association; Messrs. R. A. Doble, R. A. Tucker, J. Paul Spence, Rev. J. H. Hughes, Rev. E. I. Hunter, Attorney W. H. Crown, Attorney A. J. Oliver, S. S. Ragsdale, Thomas C. Walker and G. W. Owens. The Centenary of David Livingstone. the national Baptist foreign mission board, with headquarters in Philadelphia, is preparing to celebrate the centenary of David Livingstone through special programs distributed among the various churches and Sunday schools of the denomination. David Livingstone was born in Scotland March 19, 1813. Thirty years of his life were spent in Africa. Easter Sunday, March 23, is the day set apart for the celebration. Rev. L. G. Jordan is the corresponding secretary, to whom orders for programs should be sent. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Down at St. Augustine, Fla., a young colored woman, Mary Carter Langton, has established for herself a successful hairdressing business, but she finds time also to do philanthropic work among people of her race. Her latest enterprise is a library for the colored boys of the town. She spends three nights a week at the library, in a room in Temperance hall. She conceived the plan last year and on Christmas the little library was formally opened. At the start sixty boys were enrolled as members. She has a double interest in the work, because aside from her desire to do good she is herself a student and has written poetry. Some of her forefathers were Seminole Indians. Her efforts to encourage her people to improve their minds are due to the fact that she realizes that as education is not compulsory in Florida many colored boys are growing up in ignorance. During the summer, which she spent at her trade in a fashionable resort, she enlisted her customers in her enterprise and accumulated books and magazine subscriptions. These formed the foundation for the library. The women of St. Augustine who have charge of the free public library for white people are helping her. Many of the boys who use the library are caddies, flower peddlers or messengers. A girl who has been engaged three or four times may look as hopeless as a woman who is married. When the emancipation proclamation commission of Pennsylvania celebrates in Philadelphia in September the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the negro through the issue of Lincoln's famous emancipation proclamation and the long and hard-fought Civil war which set free 4,000,000 slaves, there will be present Thomas B. Patterson, one of the most industrious negro farmers in Pennsylvania—a man among the most advanced and enlightened of the 750,000 negroes who own farms in the United States, and who has reached this goal with the motto, "Show the world that the negro has the same ability as the white man, if he only gets the chance to prove it." Patterson got "the chance to prove it" on a 60-acre run-down farm, near Weishample, in the Higgins valley, Schuylkill county, and with Mrs. Patterson he proved that the motto was a truism. Patterson was appointed a member of the emancipation proclamation commission, who, through Harry W. Bass, of Philadelphia, the first colored member of the Pennsylvania legislature at the last session, succeeded in getting $20,000 appropriated for the coming anniversary; and Patterson, as chairman of the committee on agriculture, will show by exhibits, made by the negroes of the state, that their work has not been in vain. If every young man could see the girl he is in love with eating her dinner when nobody is watching her, the crop of old bachelors would increase Twenty Negro farmers around Fairhope, Alabama, have signed up to form a co-operative packing association. The object is to kill and pack all hogs killed in their community. A member of the firm will attend to the selling and shipping of the packed meat and the profits will be divided at the end of the season. The company will start with a capital stock of $6,000. An adaptation of the Crookes tube has been developed to tell from the outside whether the sparks wanted on the inside of a motor cylinder are being produced properly. Two enterprising Negroes of Austin, Texas, have organized and chartered "The Texas Colonization and Development Company." They have purchased 10,000 acres of land in Houston county, which is being sold in tracts of ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred acres to Negroes only. Some of the farmers have purchased tracts and built the town of Oldhom on I. and G. N. R. R. The founders and present officers are Rev. L. L. Campbell and Dr. W. H. Crawford. Near Boston an engineer obtains electric power for his extensive suburban estate by means of a windmill which is a close copy of the most modern steam turbine. A new railway in Mexico is expected to make available 500,000,000 tons of iron ore, heretofore unprofitable to mine because of a lack of transportation facilities. No girl is quite sure there are microbes in kisses until she has practically worked out the theory. Some of us never talk about other people, because we are too busy talking about ourselves. Don't jump to the conclusion that a man is well-bred just because he has a little bun. The man who borrows trouble generally gives his peace of mind as security. During the coming summer will occur the fiftieth anniversary of the great Lincoln's immortal proclamation freeing the negro slaves held in bondage in the southern states, then in rebellion against the country in an attempt to secede from the Federal Union and set up an independent sovereignty constituted of the old slave states of America. Those were days that tried men's souls sorely, but now at the end of a half century, probably the people of the south are vastly more satisfied over their own failure than the victors in the northern states. Of course, the negroes are the people who gained all there was to gain in the Lincoln proclamation. There are said to be 25,000 people of the African race in and near the city of Los Angeles. They are as a whole an industrious and law-abiding people and have proved their rights to their freedom almost universally by a proper use of their opportunities. These people of American race are planning a great jubilee festival on the fiftieth anniversary of their liberation, and in a meeting of a preliminary kind held recently in Los Angeles, one of the speakers announced that 12,000,000 negroes were uniting to give thanks to the Almighty for the blessings bestowed upon the race during their fifty years as freedmen. He referred to Booker T. Washington and his thirty years of educational effort at Tuskegee, where an institution costing $3,000,000 has been built up. This speaker went on to say: "In fifty years we may proudly boast 100 colleges and 1,000 high schools, more than $12,000,000 worth of church property, a million homes, 100,000 farms, 2,000 physicians and progress in various other lines." Los Angeles Times. Throwing the rays of pure white arc lights on while silk over a stage, a Spanish engineer devised a most perfect substitute for diffused daylight in theaters. In North Carolina two charters were issued from the office of the secretary of state. The Royall & Borden Company, a partnership of George C. Royall and John L. Borden of Goldsboro, authorizes itself to $100,000 and pays in $28,000. The company is chartered in Goldsboro but has a local business in Raleigh. The National Cooperage Company, with H. A. Punkett, W. C. Walters, A. M. Rea, J. W. Biddle, and others starts a business in New Berne. A woman is more or less backward from a literary point of view when she reads the last chapter of a novel first. When the will of Caleb Nelson, a former slave, was probated some time ago in Allentown, Pa., it was found that he had an estate of upwards of $10,000. Born in the south, Nelson was valet of an officer in Pemberton's army and was captured at Vicksburg; during the rest of the war he was a valet on General Grant's staff. For many years he was head waiter at an Allentown hotel. He died aged 80. There are no elevators in the great house of ambition. Step by step up the long stairway, brother! A number of educators and clergy men of Louisville, Ky., have begun a movement to form a co-operative stock company for the purpose of establishing a bank. They are endeavoring to raise a capital of $95,000. Several Negro leaders in Tennessee, California, West Virginia are interested in the movement. This is the first attempt to establish a Negro bank in Louisville and it is expected that the plan will succeed. For hunting at night there has been invented a storage battery electric lamp that may be strapped to a gun barrel to illuminate a weapon's front sight. In Germany there has been patented a waxy compound for finishing concrete floors, applied with hot irons and giving a durable, dust proof surface. Our neighbors seem to believe that one good turn deserves ten others. Apparatus for generating ozone in moderate quantities by a high pressure electrical discharge for purifying the air of rooms has been placed on the market. It's a mistake to suppose that all women are the same. Even one woman isn't the same for any length of time. The one time a woman always keeps her word is when she says she wouldn't marry the best man living. Lots of people spend half their lives overdoing things, and the other half doing them over. The man who starts to ride a hobby should at once equip himself with an emergency brake. Some people are always too busy to do anything but talk about how busy they are. ” THE GAZETTE | PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES ( (In Advance) | @me Vear........ cece eens SIO Bix Monthe.......cecccceeees 1.00 Gubscribers are requested te re mit by pestoffice money or dar or registered letter.

She is lady- inwaiting to his wife, the princess, and has a retinue of many servants. Miss Knjehten has been on several “shoots” lately, her first being the most thrilling. “It was on the Ganges at & point where the tiger can be seen swimming across the river. Her great est sport was at Tikairi, where ninety elephants, two tigers and five leopards were caught. She has visited the Hymalayas, which she calls “beauti ful.” In an Interview the other day she said that the DeLeux manner of transportation in the interior was carts drawn by bullocks. “Going up hill,” she continued, “you and your luggage ure carried by many stalwart coolies. My what splendid specimens of manhood they are and how hand- some. When you sleep the faithful coolié ig on the floor outside your door. ‘The slightest sound awakens them and puts them on the alert, Miss Knighten ‘and her royal charge, who is an English woman by birth, are pre. paring for a trip around the world. They, however, intend to go to Amer. fea first. They will travel via Japan, China, Australia and San Francisco. Miss Knighten fs expected in Chicago Decoration day, Her stay will be short. From there her party will go to New York to do some shopping, After that they will spend the summer at Atlantic City and other watering places, returning to New York in Sep: tember to sail for Europe. Miss Knighten is very popular here. She speaks several languages and wears the most magnificent gowns and jew. els, It is said that when she reaches Chicago, her niece, Miss Charlotte ‘Tervaion, will join her for the trip to Europe, where she will finish her mu. sical education. “Charlotte you know is my heart,” and the short interview was over, deeabin’ Beuhioe: A TERRIFIC INDICTMENT! Of the So-called “White Race”—A Truthful One, Too — “The ‘White Peril.” Only in lucky, valorous Japan, in the Arabian and’ African deserts ‘and in the mountain eyries like Nepal and Abyssinia are found free nations of brown, black or yellow men. The white man is supreme. Our Tace ac- {cepted in Christianity the perfect sys. item of ethics. It took the Keadship in intellect when it unrolled the mar- velous book of modern science. It had a sublime opportunity to uplift the Colored races in the era brought in by Columbus and Da Gama, At the wheel of the Good Ship Barth stood the white man steering it whith: er he would, He was captain: He had the firearms. He alone knew in- vention and science, He had the chart in the command, “Thou shalt Jove thy neighbor as thyself,” and he had the Golden Rule as compass. He knew the form-of the ship—none oth: er knew. To him was given the great est opportunity ever known, the most fearful responsibility, the most awful opening for service. He had_ the chance to remake a World! He failed. He refused the opportunity. He, as captain, betrayed his trust. Accept ing the cloak of Christianity, the white race has denied Jesus a million times each hour. False followers of the Prince of Peace, the white race took to pagan lands undteamed-of engine: ‘of murder and unheard-of efficiency in it. Professing the faith which begat in a crude communism which gave tc each us he had need from those wh possessed, and under whieh non: wanted, the white races have not only not tried to extirpate poverty among themselves, but they have Impover ished, enslaved and extirpated whol empires for money. ‘The white race accepted Christianity and paganizec it, ‘They threw away the democracs of the Sermon on the mount, and quarreling over the theology of Paul followed Mars, Thor and Moloch ai of old. They have never developed : Christian nation, Feared and hatec all over the world, the white race largely responsible for the imminenc’ of the other world perils.

Some Effects of the One in Missouri— Colored Women Suffer — What Gas, Sharpen: Kéviend: De Soto, Mo., March 5, 1913. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Why In the world don’t the democrats in Con: ferees, and: Inthe late. osalatures Stop trying to make laws to deprive American citlzens of thelr just’ and constitutional rights? We have a hon-intermarrigge law here In Mie souri and have lots of illegitimates, childrep the offspring of white men and Colored women, Non-intermar: riage laws do pot stop white men from mixing with Colored women, In this state, and such laws do not keep black men ‘and white women from living to- gether “on the sly." know whereof T'speak! Non-intermarriage laws do not make the business of this coun- try any better. Therefore, 1 think the lawmakers of the states and the na- tion, will do themselves honor and beneit the people MORE, by ‘maxing good and wholesome business laws, for all the people, I have many times, seen the effects of the Missouri non: intermarriage law. White men can and do, cohabit with Colored women Uilegaliy), ‘but if a Negro attempts such a thing and Is caught, be is iynched or driven out of the’ neigh: borhood. We have three Negro women in our town, Who have babies, begotten by white men, and one white woman has one begotten by @ mulatto man. Thus, it is readily seen how such a vicious law promotes and en- courages immorality, ete. ‘The white men that caused these three children, with the three Colored women, knew that they could not be forced to “father” the children and also thet they would be relieved of the burden st helping to rear them. But our poor women who work at the wash tud, In he kitchen, and are otherwise em jloyed in the homes of some white nen, must submit to them (or lose heir situations) and then rear the hildren, or destroy them, as some yhite women do. The main ery for uch laws comes from the southern tates, where most all of the illegal xing of races is going on, and from hich nonintermarriage bills ema- ate and are being urged. Our women ave enough to béar in this world, ithout (illegally) begetting and rear g children by white men, No won- that some white ten, want non termarriage laws!

A BILL To amend Section 11181 of the Gen ‘eral Code and provide what persons may enter into a marriage contract Be it enacted by the Genera! Assem: bbiysof thé State of Ohio: Sectiop 1. That Section 11181 of the General Code be amended bo as 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 cousins and not having a husband or wife living, may be Joined in marriage. 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 ease of death or incapacity of their fa- thers, then of their’ mothers or guardians, Provided, however, that the intermarriage of white persons with Negroes, mulattos, or persons 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 knewingly violating the provisions of this section shail 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 and the court may in the event of conviction on the recommendation of the jury substi- tute in lieu of punishment in the pen- itertiary, fine and imprisonment in the county jail.

Age of last week: “The Negro must fight for his rights the least and greatest, whenever they are assailed, or he will have none ir the end. The Separate Marriage lav Scheme should be fought to the bitter end. At the bottom of the whole scheme to isolate the Negro citizens in all-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 inferior 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 Hleensed acgommodation and amuse ment, and Yn 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 taw of precedent by Chief Justice Rog- er B. Tsney 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 {ie bound to respect.” WE INVITE EVERY THIN MAN AND WOMAN HERE.

A campaign to establish a home for our working girls was launched Tuesday night, when the workers who have been quietly soliciting funds for several days, reported to J. R. Wylie, 1912 East 70th street, that $40 of the $2,000 needed had been pledged. The solicitation has been conducted quietly and no public campaign will be made to raise the money. Mrs. Levi T. Scofield is president of the board of trustees of the Phillips Wheatley Association, and Wylie is treasurer, which will take charge of the fund. The committee have been considered and the one that seems to find most favor with the board is located in Central avenue, between East 30th and East 40th streets. The Salvation Army and another home for working girls of all other classes will soon be ready for use. Why one for Colored girls only, Mrs. Scofield? --- Discussed at CHURCH AFTERNOON SHARP! BY SMITH, the Ohio Leg- body Welcome. Our people made a TREMENDOUS fight at Columbus, Wednesday and Thursday, on the "Separate Marriage" bill. Go to Shiloh church Sunday afternoon and hear all about it. TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Rev H. C. Bailey drives an extended vacation in Florida, a former place of residence, for years, some years ago, and visits to several other southern states, returned to Antioch Baptist church, Sunday. Dr. Bailey says conditions, effecting our people in that section of the country, are much worse than they used to be, and apparently almost unbearable. He cites a number of heart-rending incidents, conditions etc., and says the possession, with such wealth, makes no difference as a rule in the miserable treatment in public places accorded our people in that section of the country. The public meeting of our City Federation of Women's clubs, at Antioch Baptist church, last Thursday evening, was an excellent one in every way. The splendid musical program, prepared by Miss Eleanor Alexander, included devotional exercises, a piano duet from "H Irovatore," by her and Mrs. Chas, Jackson; club reports by secretaries, a symposium five minute talks by presidents, and a vocal duet, for Mrs. Lori for the Lions Club, John Shrub, and Miss Dyson. Addresses by Theo, B. Green, Esq, and the editor of The Gazette followed. Both Explained the "Separate Marriage" bill, pending in the Legislature, after which it was decided by the Federation to send delegates to Columbus, Tuesday (of this week). Mrs. Blanche Gilmute, president of the C. F., presided, and who is also president of the M.D. C. Green, and the editor of The Gazette were selected. Mrs. St. John of the Du Bois club, announcing that it would pay the expenses of its president on the trip. The Priscilla club paid Mrs. S. C. Green's expenses. A collection was taken for the church, over five dollars were voluntarily donated, by persons in the audience, toward the expenses of the Federation delegates. The president of the M.D. C. Green last week Tuesday morning in Cory M. E. church study, decided to send two delegates for the following day (Wednesday last), and selected Revs. Chas, Bundy and E. H. Smith. The former secured Rev. W. G. Webster's consent to substitute for him and advanced his railroad fare for the Alliance. The Cleveland Association of Colored Men delegated its president Theo. B. Green, Esq, to go to Coeur d'Alene, B.C., to present its pastor, Dr. Bailley, Tuesday. Prof. W. S. Scarborough telegraphed the editor of The Gazette, Monday, and Bishop Joshua H. Jones wrote him, Saturday, that the Xenia and Wilberforce delegations would reach Columbus, Monday last. LAST JOHN BROWN RAIDER DIES. Winona, Minn, March 11.—William Caine, said to be the last surviving member of the original John Brown's raiders, died here today, aged seventy. The semi-centennial celebration held recently at Pottawatomi, Kansas. HOW "SEPARATE MARRIAGE" LAWS WORK. Louisiana is one of the states that has a law forbidding marriage of whites and Negroes, the latter being those who have any trace of Negro blood. In that state many have a small fraction of Negro blood but nobody knows or cares until some one makes trouble. We take the following from the New Orleans Picayune of Nov. 29. "She's my wife. We have lived together thirty-eight years. The law cannot estrange us. Thus spoke Joseph Lawrence, a well-to-do white farmer, in the second criminal court at New Orleans, La., recently, while he was awaiting trial on the charge of murder in a Colored woman. Through the arrest of Lawrence and his wife the police discovered a hard situation. All around Lee Station the white farmers and fishermen and other classes have intermarried with Colored and reared large families regardless of the law against such. A number of arrests have been made, but it has been impossible to convict one for the reason that the white parties all went on a strike. Just what the prosecuting attorney can do remains to be seen." It is an infamous law—N. Y. Independent. STEADMAN'S BLACK BRIGADE. An Unwritten Chapter of the War of the Rebellion, Witness of —C. W. Bennett, Ph.D. Gen. James B. Steadman of the Union army, commanded the Colored troops at the battle of Nashville, Gen. Steadman recruited this brigade at the old Braden Building, still in use on the campus of Walden University at Nashville, Tenn. This building, the former home of a confederate, was Gen. Steadman's headquarters. In it he recruited his men. They were trained soldiers under his command, the time of the battle of Nashville. Gen. Steadman led Nigley the strategic maneuver of Gen. Hood just before the engagement. He called his staff, and asked whether some general would volunteer to take his brigade and break Hood's left center, stating that the loss of men would be so great that he would rather not order the troops in, but have them volunteer. While the generals were considering it, he turned to Gen. Steadman and asked him what the Colored brigade would sigh. Gen. Steadman, "When can you be back?" minutes, sir." Gen. Steadman rode away to his men, explained the extreme dangers of such a charge, and asked them whether they would be willing to make it. They accepted the offer with prolonged and tremendous cheering, and sent back word to Gen. Thomas: "We have nothing to lose, we have everything to win; let men in. When Gen. Steadman had corveted them, we said: "And will you lead them?" "Certainly I will, sir." "Then make the charge tomorrow morning." Gen. Steadman drilled his troops to fall to the ground at sight of the first dash of the long line of confederate guns. The first shots went over them, but the gunners made calculations for the troops falling, and the second shot would have to volley could be fired, the troops were not in reach of the guns. The brigade charged the confederate batteries. It was a desperate hand-to-hand fight. Part of the batteries were captured. Then a fierce bayonet charge followed upon the confederate trench, which held the batteries. It was one of the most daring feats of the great war. The confederate lines finally retreated from their trenches, and left center was broken through. Steadman's Colored brigade had turned Hood's left wing, and made it possible for Thomas to win awful carnage. Many Colored soldiers lay dead or wounded upon the field, but they had counted the cost; their general had warned them of the danger, and they understood what the sacrifice would mean. They had fought valiantly in the defense of the flag and to maintain their honor as a race to no less troops in that great battle. They had thinks of Steadman's brigade as of the soldiers of Waterloo or of Thermopolis. THAT "SEPARATE MARRIAGE" BILL Dencunced by the Eastern District. N. O. Conference of the A. M. E.

Both Papers Together for One Year SPORTS WRESTLING Penn's wrestler won the first of the two dual meets with Princeton in Weightman hall, four bouts to three. Al Wesam of St. Louis won from Nick Collins, known as "Young Gotch." of Chicago, in a wrestling match. HORSE RACING A bill calling for the appointment of a racing commission has been introduced in the Missouri legislature. Oral betting at race tracks was held to be legal by the Appellate division of the state Supreme court of New York. Baldy McGregor, 2:06%, after Colorado E., regarded as the best 3-year trotting colt in America, has been sold to an Austrian buyer for $16,000. AQUATIC N. T Guernsey, Yale '81, a veteran of the Blue shell, says that the fault with Yale rowing lies outside the boat. He puts the weakness of the Blue squarely up to the coach. The call for candidates issued by Coach Jim Rice of the Columbia University crew was responded to by 72 students. Aside from the work at the rowing machines in the gymnasium, they are put through a long distance cross-country jog each day. FOOTBALL Coach Zuppke's program for Illinois football candidates is as follows: Monday and Wednesday, running—spirits and distance; Tuesdays and Thursday, wrestling; Friday and Saturday, football and basketball. By combining Rugby and American football, the ideal game could be produced, says Coach Shaughnessy of McGill university. The principal change which he suggests in the American game is to abolish the line of scrimmage, allowing men to be offside within certain limits. The passing or kicking of the ball while a run is in progress is another suggestion that he believes would result in constant action. PUGILISM Jack ("Ttwn") Sullivan of Buffalo, N. Y., and Jeff Clarke of Joplin, Mo., fought ten fast rounds to a draw at Joplin, Mo. George Decker was badly used up at the end of a six-round bout with Harry Davis at Philadelphia. Davis had all the best of it. Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion, has signed articles to go on the round-the-world barnstorming tour of Curley's fighters. Bert Fagin of San Francisco won the decision from Bud Daley, the Columbus (Ohio) middleweight, in a four-round bout at Venice, Cal. Frank Whitney, the fighting carpenter of Cedar Rapids, and Joe Thomas of New Orleans fought ten vicious rounds to a draw at Atlanta, Ga. The fifteen round bout between Jack Dillon of Indianapolis and Bill McKinnon of Boston at Providence, R. I., was declared a draw by Referee Joyce. Wildcat Ferns of Kansas City and Billy Walters of Chicago fought fifteen rounds at St. Joseph, Mo. No decision was given, but the newspapers called it a draw. The New York boxing commission collected all 60 of its referees—those left since the last blacklist was issued—and told them how to referee fights. Al Palzer landed in England from New York. He was seasick all the voyage. He is suffering from malaria. He said he expects to fight Johnson in Paris June 25. Frankie Snyder's manager, George Dye, threw the towel into the ring in the fifth round of a scheduled ten-round bout at Superior, Wis., with Pal Brown. Tommy Sherhan clearly out-classed Steve Gardner. Young Kurtz, the Newark middleweight, took Philadelphia Jack O'Brien's $50,000 beauty, Jack McCarren, into camp at New York. McCarren showed absolutely nothing except that he possessed a knockout punch. The decisive manner in which Jimmy Clabby of Hammond outpointed George ("Knockout") Brown of Chicago in their ten round encounter at Milwaukee stamps the Hoosier as a strong contender for the middleweight title. Gunboat Smith gets the first crack at Lather McCarty. After that bout is over big Jesse Willard is the man who can legitimately sit back and take a wallat on the hecto actually outfought in his ten-round bout at New York. The twelve-round bout at Lowell, Mass., between Joe Thomas of Lowell and Blink McCloskey of Philadelphia was one-sided an affair that the referee called the contest at the end of the eighth round and awarded the decision to Thomas. The split between Ad Wolgst and his manager, Tom Jones, which has been at a breaking point several times during the past two years, seems to have actually happened. A bill in the Massachusetts state legislature would provide a commission to regulate boxing similar to the New York law. It provides for no decision bouts with six-ounce gloves. According to Jim Coffroth, Bob Fitzsimons was the greatest of all fighters in two classes. Bob found it easy to fall from one division to another and still remain a champion. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Veteran baseball star, former manager of the Chicago White Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers, has been awarded the Fall River franchise in the New England league. It is expected that the team will be moved to Portland, Maine. BILLIARDS Charles McCourt of Pittsburgh defeated Charles Otis of Brooklyn in a National Billard league game, 50 to 46. John Layton of St. Louis in a match game with C. Lawton broke the world's record high run, with 78, under the new style of scoring in continuous pool. Martin Phillips of Chicago run 74. BASEBALL Forrest Cady, the Red Sox star back stop, is said to be some wrestler. Bert Shotton, the Browns' speedy young outfielder, was given a big boost in his salary. Great Falls of the Union association is going to try out a young second sacker named Finout. June 2 has been set as the date when Toronto will raise the international league pennant. Captain McBride of the Senators thinks the Athletics have the best chance in the 1913 race. The "perfumed notes" are not responsible for Art Shafer's retirement from professional baseball. Huggins says Slim Sallee, his south paw, will be the sensation of the whole show the next season. Cleveland fans pick Tuck Turner as one of the club's brightest prospects for the coming campaign this season consists of 27 games. Of this number 20 will be played at home. Pat Teeban is urged by many St. Louisans as the proper man for Mrs. Britten to select as the Cards' president. Dr. Frank Sexton, Harvard's baseball coach for the past three years, has signed again to direct the Crimson nine. Bert Shotton, the Brown's young outfielder, says he is tired of playing major league ball for a minor league salary. Artie Fletcher, the Giant shortstop, ranked the lowest among the National league shortstops, making 56 errors during the season. Beals Becker goes to Cincinnati, the first of the champions of 1912 to pass from the National League club, whose flag he helped win. The Madison baseball directors are after Harry Bay, once a member of the Cleveland Naps, to act as playing manager for the 1913 team. Wilbert Robinson has sold out his business interests in Baltimore and this year will devote his entire time to coaching the Giant pitchers. Eddie Williams and Archer Reily have been turned over to the Springfield, Ohio, team by the Indianapolis club of the American association. Portland of the Pacific Coast league has purchased Pitcher Stanley of the Atlantic City team. He was the leading pitcher in the Tri-State league last season. MISCELLANEOUS The Federation of American Motorcyclists has 20,000 members. Penn cricketers this season will be seen in Canada, and next year will meet the crack collegiate teams of England during an European tour. Jack MeDermott, the American open golf champion, will spend two weeks in the south before his invasion of England. At Pinehurst he will test his strength with Tom McNamara, former professional. Swimming trainers apparently have woes unknown to the men who have to condition other athletes. Duke Kahanamoka, the Hawaiian swimmer, has been bitten by an eel and is afraid of resultant blood poison. Lee Humistom, the Denver pilot, is the new star to flash across the motorcycle horizon. Humistom circled the mile lap at the Plaza Del Rey in Los Angeles in 30 seconds, clipping four-fifths of a second off Ray Seymour's record. "Hobey" Baker, the sensational star of the Princeton hockey team, was tended the re-election to the captaincy of next year's team, but refused to accept, and endorsed W. S. Kuhn, the Pittsburgh boy, who was the unanimous choice. The Krebs-Coburn team won the six-day bicycle race at St. Louis. The Loftex-Cameron combination was second, and DeMara and Diefenbacher third. They made a flat 986 miles in forty-eight hours of racing. Forest Smithson, an Olympic winner at London in 1908 and regarded as one of the best burdlers in America, has taken off the spiked shoes forever and definitely announced his retirement from the clder path. Perry McGillvray, the 100-year champion swimmer, has developed a younger brother who is supplying him with keen competition in the water. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1913 CAP and BELLS NOTHING ON THIS AMERICAN Haa Ready Reply to Englahman Who Blaimed Climate for Growth of Fine Chrysanthemums. The American visitor wandered down into sunny Cornwall. Seeing some particularly large chrysanthemum in a garden, he knocked at the cottage door, and, in New York gutter language, exclaimed to the grower: "Fine flowers, these. Guess I'd like to know how they grow 'em." "Oh, climate," replied the yokel. "And them great cabbages, what makes them grow?" "Just climate," declared the Cornwall man, seriously. "Hi. A New York about all we grow is skyscrapers. Only last year a fifty-story building sprang up like a mushroom. It grew so quick that it had no stairs or lift." And the yokel stared agast. and your started aggrus. "How--how do you get to the top then?" "Oh, clime-it--just clime-it!"—Lon don. Answers A Misunderstanding Elihu Root, at the chamber of commerce dinner in New York, said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people outside the great industrial communities who think the chamber of commerce a den of thieves, who think that the manufacturers of the country are no better than a set of confidence men." Discussing this regrettable misunderstanding afterward, Mr. Root smiled and said: "It is a misunderstanding that will come right in the end; but just now, if a rich man ventured to say to a poor man, I believe in putting by something for a rainy day, the poor man would sneer bitterly and reply: "Yes, that's why me and my friends lose, so many umbrages." Figured It Out. At a trial in Macon recently a negro was on the witness stand. He testified that a man who had been knocked down lay on the ground five minutes, and the opposing lawyer challenged the statement. To test the accuracy of the witness he took out his own watch and asked the negro to tell him when five minutes was up. The negro told him correctly. As he was leaving the courtroom the lawyer caught up with him. "Plum," he said. "I'll forgive you if you'll tell me how you did it." "Yes, boss," said the pegro. "Ah jus' figgered it out." "Figured it out?" "Yes, sah, by de clock on de wall behine you." TRY AGAIN. Tommy—I'm going to be the boss of my own house when I'm a man.

Newest Draperies and Colors Make Their First AppearanceThere—Some New Ideas That Promise to Be Popular. PARIS.—It is to the theaters that we must go now in search of anything that is especially new and novel. It is a little soon for the Riviera models, and all those that have been shown by the great dress-makers are an old story and do not attract the slightest particle of attention. But at more than half the large theaters there is a new play on and each and every one of the many and pretty and chic actresses who take part in these productions is expected to give at least a suggestion of coming fashions, of color schemes that are original, of some small change in the draping of skirts, or of anything that is a trifle different in girdles or sashes or the manner of dressing the hair. It is not to be wondered at that these young women take themselves, or rather their clothes, seriously and that every minutest detail of the toilet, from hats to shoes, is carefully thought over and given the greatest consideration. A new production at any one of the best theaters in Paris invariably invites two criticisms, one of the play itself, the other of the gowns, hats, etc., worn by the feminine members of the cast. Frequently these provoke a vast amount of discussion—and in the case of one play given last season "Rue de la Paix," this lasted for weeks—kept the production running far beyond its allotted time, and, now that the piece itself is forgotten, the clothes worn still are referred to. Actresses Display Novelties. Every leading actress has her own particular dressmaker who aids her in planning her costumes, thinks out novelties that are likely to attract notice, and in many ways puts herself at the disposal of the customer in return for this the dressmaker the dressmaker may be to be found on her program, and sometimes two, or even three, names may be seen, according to the strength of the cast or the nurses of the women. Two or three of the gowns in this production have skirts that are oddly draped in a fashion that belongs exclusively to Drecoll. They seem to be plaited and drawn up in the front so that the entire top of the foot is to be seen, while in the back they hang in a straight line, with just the slightest bit of curve in toward the feet. One of these gowns was in fraepe velvet, in a lovely shade of deep ecru, and in this the bodice and upper-part of the skirt were of chiffon of the same shade. A narrow dark brown girdle marked the waist line, and there was a small collar of dark brown chiffon to relieve the throat. The frock had a coat to match it, a short affair, cut away in the front and double breasted. It fastened with one button and had a charming collar of sable, with cuffs to match. Two Spring Fashions. It seems almost sure that two fashion have come to stay and will be seen on the spring models, and these are the fistail train and the chiffon blouse. Nearly every evening gown now has one of these remarkable trains, long or short, it does not matter. Their name exactly describes them, for they are pointed, narrow, much drawn in, and swing from side to side with every step of their wearers. As a rule these trained gowns are of satin or of material with some weight, but they also have been seen made of chiffon and even of lace with only a lining of mousseline. In black chiffon or lace they are pretty, but in pale shades they are apt to look like nothing at all and to my mind are not attractive. The skirts that form a portion of these trains are invariably cut up in the front, or, to be more explicit, they are sloped up in the front beginning at each side. In the direct center the gown is fully eight or nine inches from the floor, and this enables the wearer to walk with safety, if not with grace—a feat that could not be otherwise accomplished. As for the chiffon Russian blouses, they are to be seen on the smartest gowns, and they are so charming that they are sure to have a lasting vogue. Besides plain chiffons or those having allover designs self-colored there are chiffon cloths that are new and chic. These show a background of gold or silver threads, but dulled, and over these are large or small designs, generally in black or dark shades. Some of the combinations of colors in these are lovely, such as bronze gold with Not Familiar With Price List A traveling man coming down from Kansas City shared his seat with a chap unused to traveling, the Chanute Tribune relates. The latter did not know where to go to lunch in Chanute and the drummer suggested the Harvey House. "Harvey House?" the other asked. "What's that? I never heard of it before." The salesman explained and when they reached Chanute he and the man went in to lunch. The one who did not know was very hungry and ate a hearty dark green or black, oxidized silvers with dark red, a bluish shade of silver with a brighter blue, and several other sals effective Picturesque Sleeves. These blouses follow exactly the lines of the russian peasant garment; that is, a half length affair, somewhat fulled in at the waist and a little cut out about the throat. The sleeves differ, as they are generally kimono, with a seam placed high and the remainder close and long. There are sleeves, however, which I think are far prettier, that are large and gathered in at the wrists. They are picturesque and seem to go better with the style of the blouse. There are two ways of finishing the neck, one having a little gumpie which is quib full and drawn in close to the throat, usually with a black velvet ribbon or a tiny gold or silver cord. The other shows the center of the front of the blouse cut down for three or four inches and the points are then turned back to form small revers. There is no finish on these and the style is somewhat severe, but also they are smart and are generally preferred. The skirts to accompany these blouses are made of satin, of velvet, cf charmeuse, or, if the blouse is of plain chiffon, of broche and brocaded materials. Skirts with trains are frequently plain, having no drapery whatever, but all short skirts are draped, have plaits inserted, or are provided with wide scarfs that are tied midway about them with ends knotted in front and hanging. Silhouette Long and Slim. Whatever may be the effect of the drapery, whether it is buoyant or falls straight, there is but one rule, and that is that it must be narrow. Every one of the newest ones seen is every whit as narrow as those worn last season and the silhouette of all women is long and slim. The slashed skirt is more seen than ever, especially for house wear, and in the street many tailor skirts are slit at one or both sides. Plaints are sometimes arranged in these openings, but they are only to be seen with light weight fabrics; anything in the cloth line is simply cut, furnished with buttons and buttonholes, and that is all. Skirts have really become so important now that often the entire style and smartness of a gown depends upon its cut and draping, and for this M. H. H. Dainty Spring Gown. reason anything different, even the smallest change, is considered and thought over when the ordering of a costume is in question. The gown of pampasdour silks, combined with mousseline, are among seen at Jeanne Helley's, these being simple in style, with draped skirts and sort of coat shaped bodices that fitted loosely and are trimmed with lace. Silk in Beautiful Shades. The silk that is employed for these is extremely beautiful, much more so than the ordinary silks of this name. The background is usually of some natural shade, odd tints of tea green, soft ashes of roses, and other old-fashioned and unamnable shades. The bouquets that are scattered over these are enormously large and are brocaded on far apart/ and the colors of the flowers that appear in them are simply gorgeous and most exquisitely blended. It does not seem as if the art of weaving and the formation of the flowers and tints in these silks could be surpassed, and each one seems more beautiful than the other. Establishments like Jeanne Hallee and some of the others have these designs especially woven for them, no two being alike. A gown made of this silk is a picture in itself and requires nothing but its own charm and beauty. A gown of old rose tussor with belt of pompadour ribbon is depicted in the illustration. The skirt shows the broad panel pleat in back. The waist is cut low with a yoke of chiffon. Real Lace Liked. The liking for real lace is evidenced even on the simplest clothes for children. Baby Irish yokes grace small dresses of fine muslin which are otherwise trimmed only with hand run tucks. Real Valenciennes is used in combination with hand embroidery on the daintiest of little dresses and cluny and torchon lace appear on children's dresses, coats and caps. meal. When the wattress handed him his check he had consumed $1.80 worth of Mr. Harvey's cherished cuisine. It looked like a bill for a week's board to the man who had been hungry and he argued, but vainly, against the payment. "Well, sir," he said to the traveling man, "I wanted to know what a Harvey House was and I found out. I'll never forget as long as I live." When the Bible is against us, God is against us.

Dentistry Laws of Old Rome. Under the laws of the twelve tables, written in Rome, 450 B.C., while it was expressly forbidden to bury gold ornaments with the dead, a special exception was made for gold with which teeth may be held together. Martial, one of the satiric poets of Rome, once referred to the teeth of one woman as dark and another as white, and explained the difference with the statement that one of them bought her teeth, while the other had her own. The transplantation of teeth from the mouths of slaves into those of their mistresses is said to have been a common practice in the early days of the Roman Empire.
