Moriarty, a stone mason, saw a little girl about to fall from a third story window of a building in Boston, and, rushing across the street, caught her in his arms before she struck the sidewalk. The girl, who was Helen J. Hutchinson, five years old, was not hurt. "I would rather have lost a year's pay than have missed her," said Moriarty. The list of known dead as a result of the Peru (ind.) flood totals 23. The list will probably run much higher as scores of aged men and women who for hours were forced to undergo terrible exposure and later to endure horrible insanitary conditions are certain to die. Efforts to enforce "blue laws" in the District of Columbia on Sundays is to be combatted by the twenty-five societies comprising the United German alliance, according to an announcement made in Washington. A committee was named to outline a campaign against the application of "narrow-minded policies." When told that a movement was on foot in Cincinnati to ask President Wilson to pardon him from the sentence of one year in jail on conviction of violation of the anti-trust law, John H. Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company, of Dayton, O., said: "I don't want a pardon. All I want is a fair trial in a higher court. I am not guilty of anything.

When John Burke, former governor of North Dakota, took oath of office prescribed for the treasurer of the United States it was a signal for an army of clerks to begin the task of counting Uncle Sam's board of wealth stored in the treasury valuits amounting to $1,500,000,000. ```markdown ``` President Wilson's offer of ambassadors to Great Britain was accepted Monday by Walter L. Page of Garden City, L. L., editor of World's Work, and a member of the firm of Double-day & Co. publishers. Representative Neckley of Kansas, a member of the money trust invests gating committee, gave out a statement hotly denying that Morgan's grilling by that committee was the cause of his death, directly or indiRECTly. Domestic The drainage district containing 7,000 acres north of Cairo, Ill, which was flooded last year, causing a loss of over $5,000,000, is again inundated by the angry waters of the Ohio. Governor Sulzer called State Senator Stephen Stillwell into the executive chamber at Albany, advised him that he had been accused of accepting bribes, and ordered him to resign his seat as senator. Senator Stillwell denied the charges, refused point blank to resign and appealed to the senate for an investigation. Democratic candidates for judge of the superior court, city treasurer and city clerk made a clean sweep over the Republican and Progressive candidates winning by plurality of 50,000 to 75,000 in Chicago. In every instance the Democratic candidate had a majority of 15,000 to 30,000 over the combined totals of both the Republican and Progressive candidates. Clarence Darrow was placed on trial in Los Angeles, Cal., for the third time on the charge of bribing a juror at the trial of the McNamara brothers. Several large oil tanks exploded in Henrietta, O., and the oil overflowed the streets. Two persons were killed and five passengers were injured, when a passenger train on the Chicago & Northwestern road jumped the track and went into the ditch near Bagley, Mich. Eleven Chinamen were taken to New York from Chicago by bailiffs for deportation. The eleven are part of a group of forty Chinamen who were arrested in Chicago some time ago on charges of being illegally in this country. By a court ruling twenty-nine of the forty were permitted to remain in this country. Henry M. Coudrey, former representative in congress, and Harry B. Gardner began their defense in the federal district in St. Louis, where they are on trial on a charge of using the mails to defraud in the promotion of the Continental Life Assurance company and the International Fire Insurance company. Plans for the shipment of cargoes of beef and mutton to the United States from Australia received a setback, at least temporarily, when the first cargo of beef arrived in San Francisco on the liner Sonoma and was held up by the federal authorities.

RIVER RECEDES AT CINCINNATI Federal Government Plans to Cope With Situation in Other Places. CAIRO STILL FACES PERIL FROM FLOOD Illinois City Prepares for Crest Which Now Is Near Evansville. Cincinnati, O.-Despite the fact that the Ohio river waters at Cairo, Ill., up to a late hour Wednesday showed only a slight tendency to rise, no relief is felt concerning the situation. The condition is accounted for by the passing of the crest in the Wabash high water. The crest of the Ohio river flood is still to come and, with levees weakened by continued high pressure, Cairo trembles as the worst trial approaches. The crest of the Ohio river flood is expected to reach Evansville, Ind., soon. The Ohio flood, having reached its crest at Cincinnati and started to recede, Maj. Normoyle, in charge of the relief operations at that post, Wednesday made further plans to cope with the situation as the crest moves into the lower Ohio valley to the Mississippi. "We are looking for trouble in the lower 'Ohio valley,'" said Maj. Normoyle in a report received at Washington, D. C., by Maj. Gen. Wood, chief of staff of the army, who returned to the national capital Wednesday with Secretary Garrison from a trip into the flood area. Prepare for Flood's Coming. In order to keep relief measures ahead of the flood, Maj. Normyley said he had ordered provisions, tents and army flood relief experts into Carruthersville, Charleston and New Madrid, Mo.; Hickman, Columbus and Wickliffe, Ky.; Dyersburg and Tipponville, Tenn.; Helena, Ark.; as well as Memphis. "Maj. Logan as advance scout." Maj. Normyley's report added, "will get all possible information and we will throw officers and noncommissioned officers where they can do the best work in anticipation of trouble which will soon come throughout the valley." Lower river points continued to experience rising water. Paducah, Ky., with water standing more than two feet deep in the lower sections, faced the menace of a useless lighting plant. At Wickliffe, where are gathered more than 3,000 refugees from Hickman, Cairo and Columbus, Ky., the shelter situation is becoming acute. Hears Belated News. Completely cut off from the outside world for seven days, hemmed in by swirling currents at the junction of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers and almost wholly inundated, in many places the flood waters being at a depth of from 10 to 18 feet. Marietta, Jr., throughout, through the Associated Press, learned that J. P. Morgan is dead; that Adrianople had fallen; that the Allens had been executed; that Columbus, Dayton and even the entire state of Ohio had and is emerging from the worst flood disaster in its history. It also learned that the flood waters which had wrought such havoc, death and destruction were still sweeping south, where a score or more of cities and towns are in dire straits. These and other things that literally tumbled over each other in the occurrence of events during the past week were real news to the Marietta Register-Leader, which finally succeeded in establishing brief telephone communication with the Associated Press office in Columbus Thursday. According to the Register-Leader, the city has been completely submerged for a week. No lives were lost at Marietta, but the damage to property was heavy. INDIANAPOLIS NEEDS MONEY Several Hundred Thousands Dollars Are Required Immediately to Relieve Suffering Among Flood Victims. Indianapolis, Ind.-Several hundred thousand dollars are required immediately to relieve suffering among the flood victims in this state and city, according to the report of the general relief committee just rendered. Three thousand families have lost all or a large part of their household belongings and it will require an average of $100 a family to restore in part only their furnishings. Hundreds of men are required to clear away the filth and debris which now fills the streets. Torture and Bob Sick Woman Sharon, Pa.—Tortured, robbed of $388, and endangered when bold thieves set her house ablaze, Mrs. John Darrow of Earrell was rescued by members of the fire department. Mrs. Darrow's husband is proprietor of a small store. He had been unable to make bank deposits since the flood and his wife, who was ill in her room, had charge of the money. Darrow had occasion to leave the house for a short time. Mrs. Darrow says he had hardly departed when two men entered the house and tortured her.

BRADY OF IDAHO NOW A SENATOR There is a new and striking force at work in the army of sociology since the establishment of the branch of the Chicago Juvenile court over which Miss Mary M. Bartelle pre-associate judge and Judge pinckney MARY BROWN The new court hears all cases involving girls in the presence of women court officials only. Only a few cases have been heard so far, but the result has been astounding in that little girls who sullenly refused to talk of their experiences before a man judge and in the presence of men court officers, have unhesitatingly revealed to Judge Bartelme information which has already landed several men in cells to await action by the grand jury. Judge Bartelme did not sit on an levated bench when she began her session. She sat in a chair at a table so that the little white-faced babies brought in charged with all sorts of incorrigibility could creep up close. Poor Jennie is only thirteen.

But it can hardly be said even by a stretch of the imagination that the engagement of Princess Victoria Louise, the only daughter of the kalser, and Prince Ernest of Great Britain and Ireland, duke of Brunswick-Lueneburg, son of the duke of Cumberland, is a love match. Despite the often reported statement that the kaiser's daughter would follow the dictates of her heart, and would never be sacrificed on the political altar, the impression prevails that the alliance is largely. If not entirely, political. It is a typical German "practical marriage," an alliance wherein the heart's inclination may not be excluded but where love probably figures less than high politics, just as many marriages in other strata in German society were practical questions in regard to property, society and business are usually considered first and are regarded as the soil on which love will sprout later. The alliance of the young couple will bring a practical solution of the The one living American to whom the anniversary of Washington's american to whom of Washington's birthday means more than any other is Bushrod D.

Washington's father than to be more than any other is Bushrod D. Washington, in whose veins, according to the generally accepted verdict of genealogists and the opinion of many of the Washington family, flows more of the blood of Gen. Washington's father than is to be found by any other individual. Mr. Bushrod Washington, who is well past middle age, is living quietly near Goodman, Mo., on a modest scale, he is living, in so far as country surroundings are concerned, much the same life passed by his famous relative, though his life is by no means either so luxurious or so primitive as that of the old plantation. He served in the Union army during the Civil war, and in the campaigns in the far south conducted himself with signal bravery. As with so many of the branches of the Washington family, this particular one will come to an end with the life of Mr. Bushrod Washington, for he has but one child, a daughter. James H.

Mr. Brady is a Republican and has been chairman of the Re- publican state committee and governor of the state of Idaho. He is a native of Pennsylvania, from which state also came his predecessor, Senator The child shivered as though with cold. The judge took the little girl in her arms and cuddled her. Jennie burst into tears. Judge Bartelme whispered into the little girl's ears and crooned over her. It was a most unjudicial proceeding. Then Jennie sobbed out her story. It was a story that ought to get half a dozen rascals of the South side whipped with a lead-tipped cat and then imprisoned for life. "Thirteen years old," commented the judge, as poor Jennie was taken away to a place where there are some more motherly women—"just a babe in arms, that's all." Then there was Mary—Golden-haired Mary with the frightened eyes. "I want to be good—I want to be good," the child sobbed. "Just give me a chance and see if I don't." A few minutes later Mary had related another story of the way that little girl fell over into evil women before they are twenty and Judge Bartleme was quietly lasing papers that may land some of the girl's tutors behind bars. "And are you telling me the truth, Mary?" Miss Bartleme asked. "Every word is true," answered the child—"You are the first person I have ever told all the truth to since I was old enough to tell a life." "There is no doubt of the efficacy of the new plan," commented Judge Bartleme. "Girl children will not tell their troubles to men. Most of these poor children have no conception of the horrors they relate." Guelph question and will end the 40 year feed between the English Guelph house and the house of Hohenzollern. Prince Ernest is the grandson of the English king of Hanover, blind George, who was deposed in 1866 by Prince Bassarack and the kaiser's grandfather. Hanover was annexed to Prussia, because King George refused to join Prussia in the war against Austria. Prince Ernest's mother is a sister of Queen Alexandra of England. The death of Prince Ernest's elder brother in an automobile accident in 1912, when the kaiser expressed his condolences in an unusually sympathetic manner, was followed by Prince Ernest calling on the imperial family at Petsdam to thank the emperor, which was one of the first steps in closing the gulf between the Hohenzollern and the irreconcilable Guelph duke of Cumberland, who still maintained his claim to the Hanoverian throne. Princess Victoria Louise will be 21 in September. She has been much petted, but has not been spoiled. She is a favorite with the imperial family. She cannot be termed beautiful, but is attractive, and has a certain charm. She is a favorite with the German people, because of her girlish simplicity, her unaffected manners and dress and her close attention to her mother, the empress. This fondness for her mother has always appealed to German women. Mr. Washington's closeness of relationship to the founder of Mount Vernon is due to the fact that he traces his descent from Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, along three lines. Twice in the line of his ancestry the Washington blood has been strengthened by the marriage of cousins, who were also descended from Augustine Washington. This, it is thought, is true of no member of the family other than Mr. William De Herturb Washington, and it is said that in his case one of the cousins was more remotely descended from the common ancestor. The whole subject of Washington's relationship is in dispute, however, and no dogmatic statement can be justified. In the city which bears his name, three, at least, of Washington's relatives are known to reside, and there may be others. Those known to live here are Lawrence Washington, librarian of the house reading room in the library of congress; Thomas Cunningham Washington and T. B. Washington, both connected with the navy department. mr. Lawrence Washington has eight sons and four daughters to carry on the blood of Augustus Washington. Mr. Lawrence Washington and all the brothers and sisters were born in Mount Vernon, and this often causes them to be considered the nearest relatives of George Washington. Heyburn. For several years he was a resident of Kansas and he attended school in that state. He went to Idaho in 1894. Senator Brady is chairman of the advisory board of the National Council of Women Voters and is an honorary vice-president of the Panama-Pacific International exposition, and other organizations. Before he had served in the senate 15 minutes his vote as a Republican was of material assistance to the Republicans of the senate. He voted with the other Republicans in favor of an executive session. The motion was carried, 36 to 34. Had Senator Perky still been serving he, as a Democrat, would have voted with the Democrats and the motion for an executive session would have been lost by a vote. ```markdown ``` SINGLE COP AFRO-AMERICA SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS.

Scout, spy, war nurse, "underground- railroad" manager, a memorable figure of the Civil-war period has passed away in the death of Harriet Tubman Davis at Auburn, N. Y. Harriet Tubman was born a slave in Maryland, O. Ashantee blood, descendant of tribal chiefs, she possessed an unconquerable spirit and immense physical strength, surpassing that of most men. To avoid being "sold south" in her youth, she followed the north star to freedom, but soon was back teaching other negroes the road she had trod. Rewards amounting to $40,000 were offered in Virginia and Maryland for her arrest. Harriet Tubman was invaluable as an "underground-railroad" agent in the north. While in this work she led the mob that rescued Carole Nalle, a fugitive slave, in Troy. Though beaten upon the head by policemen's billions, she thrashed two of them and aided the rescue with her mighty muscles. In her station of the underground at Auburn, with the financial support of William H. Seward she sent away many a refugee to Canada. Appointed as a nurse to Colonel Shaw's famous negro regiment in 1863, she soon appeared in a new capacity as a scout for the Union troops. In 1896 she founded the Harriet Tubman Davis Home for Indigent Aged Negroes, where she herself died at the supposed age of ninety-eight. Why despair of the future of a race that can exhibit such courage, devotion and capacity for leadership in one of it lowliest members? Though fashions may come and go, though weaves vary and dress goods of many and various kinds be adopted by that whimsical personage, Dame Fashion, broadcloth is always in favor. It is one of the aristocrats of the dress goods realm, and its place is always assured. This year the tendency in broadcloth is towards those with a very high luster—the more brilliant and satiny the sheen, the better madame will like her cloth. Smart autumn salts are of broadcloth, elaborately trimmed—frequently with handsome silk braids, often with rich and deep-toned velvets. But not alone for suits and tailored costumes is broadcloth in demand. For handsome wraps, street coats, evening garments and afternoon toilettes, broadcloth will be fashionable.

AN CULLINGS --- The real labor and problem for the negro in the south is not getting opportunities to work, but in making the most of the opportunities that he has for working. A striking example of this recently took place in the Newport News shipbuilding yard. There are employed in this shipyard about 4,750 persons, almost half of whom are negroes. There are twenty-nine different trades and occupations, in all of which except two, bell hangers and electricians, negroes are working in greater or lesser numbers. The distribution of white and colored workmen in the various trades at this shipyard are as follows: As anglesmiths, white 23, colored 84; as blacksmiths, white 46, colored 80; as bell hangers, white 63, colored 0; as boiler makers, white 43, colored 0; as shear iron workers, white 69, colored 4; as brass machinists, white 101, colored 10; as copersmiths, white 36, colored 6; as drillers, white 20, colored 115; as electricians, white 76, colored 0; as焊ers, white 273, colored 118; as hull repairers, white 91, colored 24; as joiners, white 150, colored 14; as lumber yard laborers, white 11, colored 11; as common laborers, white 12, colored 125; as engineers, White 196, colored 91; as outfitters, white 50, colored 11; as painters, white 94, colored 233; as pattern makers, white 42, colored 4; as plumbers, white 188, colored 15; as power house workers, white 12, colored 22; as riggers, white 103, colored 260; as riveters, white 150, colored 563; as ship carpenters, white '168, colored 160; as ship shed workers, white 61, colored 156; as steam engineers, white 174, colored 51; as teamsters, white 1 colored 25; as yard men, white 9 colored 9; as foundrymen, white 65, colored 80; as civil engineers, white 36, colored 24. Total employed, white 2,522; colored 2,138. The weekly pay roll for the company is $25,000. The New York Evening Post, in charging that the barrier of race has kept colored musicians, with but few exceptions, in the music halls, and in its effort to induce the public to give the negro music of today serious consideration refers to the observations of Kurt Schindler on the compositions of Will Marion Cook, which follow in part: This revelation came at once at the concert given under 'the auspices of the New York Musical Settlement for Colored People. There were a great many representative white musicians and the entire New York musical press present, and there was a stir when the orchestra started to play the fascinating rhythms of Cook's "Swing Along," followed by a storm of applause; there was no one in that audience that did not feel that for once he had heard the "real thing," the true southern nero idiom, worked out with clever muscianship and genial verse into a truly artistic manifestation. This pleasurable surprise was equaled if not surpassed when the second part of the program brought another composition of Will Marlon Cook, "The Rain Song." To this delightfully quintet and naive dialect poem the composer has found a melody well-nigh perfect in its idiomatic charm and in its close adaptation to the vocal inflections of the colored dialect. The musical form given it (calling for six solo-singers to rise from the middle of the orchestra and say their little verse in turn with the full chorus responding) was as happy in its effect as it was natural and appropriate. This is music very close to nature indeed in its sources. Newport News, Va.-Members of the race are accustomed to think of labor problems among negroes as arising where there is a lack of opportunity for work, or where there is a threatened reduction of wages, or where, because of prejudice or other reasons, they are prevented from getting or holding positions. One also hears a great deal about the negroes being denied opportunities to work at skilled trades. As a matter of fact, the opportunities for negroes to work at skilled trades in both the north and the south are increasing. In all parts of the south negroes are being sought for to work at skilled trades. Labor unions are becoming more friendly to negroes, and are doing more than they have ever done to organize negro workingmen. Out of the over 100 labor organizations, only about nine or ten, principally connected with the railroads, now bar negroes. The feat of the New York actor, who has just married his eleventh wife, doesn't constitute a record. The only way an actor can establish a matrimonial record is to marry one wife. This is an age in which efficiency is demanded in every avenue of endeavor. The man who can accomplish with one step or one motion of the hand what requires three steps or motions in another is the sort of man the world is looking for. A new negro undertaking firm has been chartered, at Los Angeles, Cal. Its name is Smith-Williams & Company. A married man often starts to tell a story, after which his wife finishes it.

Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1908 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bena fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Read carefully Rev. Geo. Wilson Brent's article on church members dancing. Hon. L. H. Scott, the good member of the lower house of the State Assembly, from Harrison County, has a fine tribute to Hon. H. T. Eubanks (deceased), in this issue of The Gazette, which it is a great pleasure indeed to publish. It is not often such voluntary testimonials are given 'members of the race by those of other classes. Seven car-loads of southern Ohio mail were held at the Union depot, Cleveland, because the high waters in that section of the State "fried up" the railroad for a tied to ten days. Many of our subscribers and a number of The Gazette's agents will now understand why they received their Gazettes late; and in some cases, not at all, until possibly today or yesterday. Important legislation (bills) that preceded H. B. 27 on the calendar, and emergency legislation in connection with the Ohio flood, etc., have delayed its consideration from week to week. Action may be looked for any day now. Our fight on Ohio's miserable "Separate Marriage" bill must not be discontinued for a day. Keep up the good work all along the line, brethren. The bill in the Oklahoma legislature, providing that a voter should be required to show a receipt as evidence that his poll-tax had been paid before being allowed to vote, which was aimed at the Afro-American voter in that state, was killed last week, a majority of the democratic members of the House refusing to vote for it. To date not one of the many bills, directed against the race, introduced in the various state legislatures and the lower house of Congress since last fall, has become a law. This is at least encouraging. GIVING THE SHADOW FOR THE SUBSTANCE The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has opposed ant-intermarriage legislation in the following States: District of Columbia, Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, formia and Iowa. Wisconsin and Kansas have been defeated largely through the efforts of the local branches. Assurances have been received that it is highly improbable the bills will pass in the District of Columbia and in New York State. The Chicago branch reports that they are organizing for vigorous work against the laws to defeat the measure, and Dr. Mason is to appear in person before the legislative committee which has it in charge. A letter from a friend in Cleveland says that members of the Ohio legislature advise him that the legislature has been flooded with letters from some of the New York urging the passage of the ant-intermarriage bill and saying that the Colored people desire it—N. Y. Crisis for April. The above from the "organ" of the National Association for the Advancement of Afro-Americans is misleading, to say the least, as far as Ohio is concerned. This state's "Separate Marriage" bill had sixty-three votes on second reading (three or four weeks ago), TWO MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PASS IT on its third reading which is likely to take place any day now. The bill came out of the "legislative committee which had it in charge," some SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS AGO. We have yet to hear from any other source except the Crisis that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (or Afro American), our only "National Negro Association with headquarters in New York, has flooded the legislature with letters urging the passage of the anti intermarriage bill and saying that the Colored people desire it"; or of its doing anything MATERIAL to help defeat the bill. If the organization is doing no more in other states than it has done or is doing in Ohio, to assist in defeating anti-intermarriage bills, we advise the editor of the Crisis to stop making such empty claims for its "local branches", as he makes in the editorial note reprinted above. There are many of our people who have given and are still giving to the support of Dr. Du Bols and his Association who are tiring of these empty claims of doing and having when the two large and by far the most important "national" problems of the race remain untouched and unsolved. It is high time an effort was being made by the N. A. A. C. P. to have the U. S.

Mrs. Charles H. Betts, president of the League, declares the hotel management acted in a "snobbish manner," and that Manager Stevens of the hotel had broken his word when he gave in to the waiters. "Mr. Stevens," she said, "was told that the Ideal Colored Woman's club would be represented. He knew all about the waiters and the waiters refused to serve the Negro women he gave in to them." "It's very fortunate," said Mrs. Bishop. "The intelligent white person has no race prejudice. It was the unintelligent and ignorant walters who caused the trouble. They maintain they were better than the Nero and they do not begin to compare with them in morals, intelligence, manners, or anything else." Mrs. L. Brackett Bishop: "The league will demand that the hotel reimburse it for the expense of preparing the reception and make such preparation as is clearly due under the law." Good! That's the proper spirit; make it cost that hotel management dearly for "giving in" to a few prejudiced "pin-heads." DR. WASHINGTON'S OBSERVATION ON THE MORAL, SOCIAL, MATER IAL AND EMERGENCY CONDITION OF OUR PEOPLE, OF OUR PEOPLE, IN THE FAR WEST Southern Afro-Americans Lazy and In different, He Intimates—Splendid Business Showing There, However —Lack of Numbers in the North Etc., Prevents it Here—Enjoy Life and Property and Lib- erty in the North. Washington, D. C., April 2, 1913. Special to The Gazette. The letter of Dr. Booker T. Washington, published in a local race paper, Mar. 22, in which are contained the Doctor's observations upon the moral, social, material and political condition of our people of the far West, especi- ally of Montana and Dakota, has considerable compo- ment here among friends and critics alike. As to the former, they can see no reason why the Doctor's compi- sions, if it were deemed necessary to make any, were not more favorable to the position which he has all along as serted and persistently defended, to the effect that the South is the section of the country most dependent on the ment of our people. They say that he might have left unuttered the intima- tion, that southern Afro-Americans were lazy and indisposed to, if not incapable of, adapting themselves to new conditions, should exigencies arise re- quiring large numbers to leave the South and settle in the far West. After describing how whites settle "on a few hundred acres which they get from the land," he rates "how they 'suffer for months all kinds of privations,' how in nearly every portion of that part of the coun- P. Dr. Booker T. Washington. the farmer does not depend upon rain but irrigation and how, notwithstanding after ten or fifteen years, they become "prosperous, intelligent and independent farmers," the Doctor says: "Irrigation is something strange to the Colored man, and this makes me question whether Colored people will ever settle in this part of the world in large numbers. The average Negro farmer likes for the water to come down from heaven, not from under him or from a hill, and then the average Negro farmer likes to lay off and take it easy during a shower or rain." The only crumb which feels from his pen tending at all to appease the hungry pride of the Doctor's friends was contained in the follow-up "It would be man here for Colored people to realize that in a city like Montgomery, Alabama, Colored merchants have large dry goods stores, do business as bankers, and occupy brick business houses and three stories high in the city they trade with both black and Colored people." But the substance was in a great measure extracted from this morsel when he wisely accounted for the difference in these words: "So far, I have found practically no Colored man engaged in business of a THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1913 character that is common for our people in the south. Two things are against them in the matter of conducting commercial enterprises. First, large capital is required to begin business. Secondly, there are not enough Colored people in any one community to support any large business, and the white man here has not accustomed himself to Negro life. The result is that he is practically out of the commercial world. If the number of Colored people increases, things may grow better industrially, but that is problematical." And further: "A good many of our people, however, I am glad to say, are far-sighted enough to see that now is the time for those who mean to live in this country to accumulate something that may be handed down to their children." thing every time you miss getting a copy. Miss Allie H. Barnett, of Kansas, formerly a trained nurse in Chicago, was the first woman to race and color after having been appointed a stenographer in the custom house at St. Louis, Mo. She won the position in a civil service examination. Miss Barnett was given $20. to return home on by the custodian. Albert R. Hall had the same experience months previous.

In some cities they are permitted to be hod carriers, and in that case they receive from $5 to $6 a day. For common labor and hotel karies, they are rewarded them in much higher than in the East or South." As to educational advantages the Doctor proceeds: "In North Dakota and Montana I have seen no evidence of discrimination between the races in public schools or in the higher institutions of learning." The following is self-explanatory, his critics say: "The discriminations in hotels, eating places and places of amusement in larger cities of Montana are rather market." At most of the saloons have a sign up stating that Colored patronage is not wanted "The white man that one finds in Montana presents a curious subject for study. He is not an Eastern man, nor a Southern man, but a kind of cross between the two. A large part of the white population it seems originally came from the State of Missouri." The Doctor's observations lead him to assert that, "From a moral point of view, in proportion to their numbers, I am led to believe that the Colored people conduct themselves as well or better than is true of the same type of white people. In a country where the opportunity to degrade one's self through drink and other vicious habits is constantly about him, it is possible that the Colored people yield to the temptation of drink and other vicious habits. From this point of view the white people speak well of them." On the subject of the elective franchise he says: "The Negro here votes freely; that seems to be about the only thing he can do unhindered and untrammeled, but in some way the ballot seems to be able to sore the difficulties to which I have made reference." And concludes as follows: "As I write this letter I still have an open mind, and I may be led before I am through with this trip to change the opinion which I have rather hastily so far formed. One thing is sure, and I am confident. Now, after all of his race and is determined to succeed if success be possible." Out of all this, Dr. Washington's critics claim to\discover a "loosening up." if not a reversal at least a "squiring" of his previous ambiguous statements relative to comparative advantages North and South. They say that he is compelled to admit that, while at the North, "the Colored brother" has not "gotten on the ground floor" but has "gotten on the ground floor" about racial difficulties and racial discriminations than one bears in the South," and is the "odd-job man," as a rule, in the cities and towns (and where, they say, do you find it otherwise), yet he is enjoying the perfect protection of his life, his property and his LIBERTY, and the benefits of non-proscrivive schools; receives better wages for all kinds of labor, is moral and sober beyond the degree practiced in the profession, and has his right of franchise "unhindered and untrammed" the like of which, they say, has not yet been said of his southern brother. The partisans are at loggerheads, but the rank and file regard the letter as an-encouraging expression of race progress, and are content with that. Our postal clerks in the south are much stirred up over a petition that is being circulated among the white railway mail-clerks, requesting Postmaster General Burleson to put all the Negro clerks on lines to themselves and not allow any Negro Mail-clerk to be in the same car with a white clerk. The petition was started by Robert Prather, a mail-clerk running out of Little Rock, Ark. Prather was flattered recently by having his name called to the attention of the postoffice department because prevented that since he is temporarily "popular" that he will win fame with this "fim-crow" proposition. A few years ago the same scheme was proposed and several white clerks were dismissed on account of their activity in thus trying to cripple the mail service. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Two white men were hung at Birmingham, Ala., for the murder of an Afro-American 18 months ago. A rare occurrence in the south. Ben, Bowzer won the Dennison prize for oratory, recently, at the Syracuse, N. Y. college. He is the "crack" spinner of the school, too. Russian authorities still refuse to admit American Jews to that country because of their anti-Semitism that they will continue the custom in spite of our government's protest of a year or so ago. Major Charles Young was only slightly wounded in that recent engagement with natives in Liberia, Africa. He has recovered. Bishop W. B. Derrick's physicians announce that there is not much hope for improvement in his critical condition for at least a few months. The outlook is not encouraging.

AS TO DANCING By Church Members—A Retired Clergyman (white), a Guild Reader, Sends in a Strong Communication. Editor Gazette, Honored Sir:—In The Gazette of March 8, an item under "pro-American Cullings," caught my eye and is clipped from an "exchange," and I serve on the Guild a few remarkens the same. It said: "Advanced reform and the white Christian church have concluded that dancing cannot be stopped. They have therefore taken dancing and turned it into an uplifting benefit to their communities." It said, also: "Many Colored pastors, who pursue the fogy practice of condemning and expelling all dancing members find their pews are empty, and their one-time followers—old and young, unmarried and widowed, detriment of the church finances." Then it concludes: "Let the Colored church be progressive—let it turn dancing to its own account." Dear sir, I have no brief to plead for the Negro church, but allow me to say the above example of the white Christian church and the advice of the writer, are both undesirable and dangerous precedents, for the following reasons: First, from the nature of the case: Christ's call to self-denial and self-sacrifice on the altar of loyalty to the church is the result of God's command (1st Cor. 10:31) to Christians: "Whether ye eat or drink or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God;" these utterly prohibit the true church from incorporating dancing among its consecrated utilities! Second: because of conditions the church is based on obedience to God's word (2 Cor. 6:14-18) being "called out and separated from the world" (St. John 17:14-17); the Christian promised to be "cheerfully governed by the law of the church," because the spirit of Christ had made them "hate the things they once loved and vice versa" (1 Cor. 14:34) the friendship of the world is enmity with God, and who-so-ever will be a dancing, drinking, card-playing, theater-going friend of the world is an enemy of God! See 2d Cor. 5-17. Third, because of the contradictions involved, 1st John 2:15-17 says: "if any man love the things of the world, the love of God is not in him! In this (i.e., the things he allows, loves and enjoy—Ro. 12:1-2) the child of God is known from the child of the devil," and it is the universal experience of The Church that its worldly minded members are not the most trustworthy advocates of religion nor its best element in moral culture! The duty of The Church is to discipline men, teaching them to observe and do good things. Indeed, when cannot be left to the individual conscience, as it lies outside of church discipline and rules of salvation. Fourth; because of its past history and present evil influence: In the first known instance where the dance was introduced into church history (Exo. 32:19-25-9) three thousand were killed as evidence of God's power. God was king, at the request of a half-nude dancing girl, killed the greatest prophet of the old dispensation. How can such a pastime (conceived in shameless, unmoral idolatry and crowded with cold-blooded murder) be made acceptable to GOD or an "uplifting benefit" to a Christian congregation? I have heard white ministers say, "the dancing class has worked havoc with our congregations—four couples have separated, and one family is threatened with divorce on account of attending them." I have not heard one word about them on the church or its members by dance. If there be any, pray make them known. Fifth and last; church membership is based on the "whosoever will" plan. Common sense would dictate that when a member, or a majority of members, found the church-law inimical to their permanent happiness, sonal profit, instead of manslain as "hypocritical worshipers" they ought to withdraw entirely from church communion!

Some Facts Gleaned From Careful Biblical Research—A Member of the Race's Strong Letter. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: In looking over our valuable paper, The Gazette, of recent date, I noticed that the Kansas, New Jersey, Michigan and Iowa Legislatures have killed their anti-intermarriage bills. Evidently those law-makers are fair-minded men who did not from whence intermarriage sprang. According to biblical records, it began with one of God's chosen vessels—Abraham. Shem was the progenitor of the patriarchs, prophets and of the Jews and also of Christ. "And on these accounts," says an eminent writer, "the renown of the house Shem has been great in all the earth." Into the renowned family, black Ethiopian women were taken as wives. Abraham, the father of Jesus, married the first one. Gen. 25-1. Moses, the great Hebrew legislator and law-giver, married an Ethiopian woman. Num. 12-1. Judah, Simeon and Joseph, the sons of Jacob, married black women also. Gen. 41-45. Judah had only five children. They bywere males, 1st Chron. 24. Three. by his fat wife and two by his second. 1st wife and two by his second. 1st Chron. 23-4. And both of his wives were Canaanish women. They were members of Canaan, a black man; and Canaan was the son of Ham. Gen. 10-6. There were two classes of Jews during the time they had kings ruling over them. There was the royal Jew and the common Jew. The royal Jew was the black Jew and the common Jew was the white Jew. Solomon was certainly one of these royal black Jews that he built the most costly and royalist temples that were ever erected. And that he was black—see "Songs of Solomon," 1st chapter, 5th and 6th verses. Solomon's most royal guest, after the dedication of the temple, was a Negro woman—the Queen of Sheba, See 1st Kings, 10.1. Now to prove that Solomon was a Negro, one of her ancestors whose name was Sheba, was a grandson of Keturah, the Ethiopian woman who was Abraham's second wife. See 2nd chapter of Genesis, 1st, 2nd and 3rd veres. Now you can plainly see that the Queen of Sheba and Solomon had some of Abraham's blood in their veins and Abraham was born in the United States of America there are ten millions of people who are neither white nor black, who are called Negroes. Who is responsible for this? Will the white man "fess up"? We are not asking any favors or special privileges from the Legislature, but contend for and demand our rights as American citizens. SAVED A CHILD'S LIFE. Starkville, Miss.—A few days ago application was made to the Carnegie Hero Fund organization for a medal in behalf of Georgia Caldwell, a cook, in recognition of her brave act in saving the life of Headden, the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Reynolds (white), one of the most prominent women in Georgia, playing near an old, unused clistern covered over with boards, when one of the rotten covering gave way, precipitating him into the water five feet below the opening. Georgia, hearing the splash, rushed to the scene, and, getting another Afro-American woman near by to hold her fast by the feet, she plunged in head first and seized the drowning boy as he rose to the sun. Another Afro-American Hero Fund association has replied to the application, and it is probable in a short time Georgia will be the recipient of a medal, etc. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The old reliable Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

The Needle club will serve refreshments at their next meeting at Mt. Zion church, E. 31st St. Friday afternoon. Dr. J. K. Nickens finally succeeded in getting home from Youngstown, where he lectured, Mar. 24, to a large audience in spite of the inclement weather. He was asked to return in May. It was impossible to get out of that city for some days because of the high water. According to Tuesday's report, our churches gave to the Chamber of Commerce flood-sufferers' relief fund as follows: St. John's, $20; Lane Memorial, $3.05; Shiloh Baptist, $10; Mt. Zion Congregational, $5, and East End Mt. Zion Baptist, $6.55. John M. Anderson, Esq., gave $2. Total, $46.00. A piano recital will be given by Mrs. Alberta L. Wills, assisted by Mrs. M. M.

Miss Manson, one of the best cooks in the city, needs no introduction to our older residents of Cleveland, where she has lived so long. But we wish to call our readers' attention to her advertisement elsewhere in this paper and ask them to visit her neat and clean restaurant, No. 3350 Central Ave., cor. E. 34th St., and to tell their friends and acquaintances to do so also. Splendid cooking and the very best of meals at reasonable prices. There is only one Church of God and Saints of Christ in this city and that is the one in E. 37th St., which was recently incorporated, and of which Rev. J. E. Davis is pastor. Injunction proceedings against a few disgruntled members, an "offshoot" of the church, restraining them from collecting moneys, etc., under the name of the church, were started in court, and the church was represented by the church. Publications to the contrary are not worthy of attention, at least until this injunction suit is finished. The week of April 7 will see the formal opening of Mrs. Edith Woods' cozy and home-like dry goods and notion store, at No. 369 363 Central Ave. cor. E. 40th St. Every evening will be devoted to a display of goods that will gladden the eyes of all of our people who have race-pride and who per in business. Don't miss this, and tell your friends and acquaintances to go one or more evenings during the week and be made supremely happy by what they see. Mrs. Woods is a fine, energetic business woman who is a credit to us. Everybody know that A. Gaines is one of the best barbers Cleveland has ever had. When he left for Toledo, some months ago, many of his old friends and friends greatly "AL" as he is familiarly called by hosts of friends and acquaintances, has returned to the city and re-established himself in business at his old stand, 3115 Central Ave. See his ad insertion in this paper and give him a call when you want first-class work. Rev. J. E. Davis, pastor and president of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, 2226 E. 37th St. Tuesday petitioned common pleas court to enjoin former members of the church from using its name. The suit is against Mrs. Mamie Auston, Mrs. Mamie Smith, Norris Johnson, Miss Maze McGans, Mrs. M. C. Brown and Mrs. Susie Williams. Rev. Davis states in his petition that his church organization has held religious services in Cleveland six years ago and that the church of the Church of God and Saints of Christ and that March 13 of this year the local church became an incorporated body. Since the inception of the church here and by permission of its bishop, the church has displayed a sign over its place of worship designating it The Church of God and Saints of Christ. It has established a goodly membership and has purchased valuable real estate, he adds. Three weeks ago, Rev. Davis alleges, the defendants opened a store with S. E. only a few blocks away from the church over which he presides, distributed circulars under the name of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, so used the name over their door and have solicited subscriptions under that name. The pastor further alleges that the defendants design to obtain money donations and affect the standing of the original body. He asks the defendants be enjoined from using the name anywhere in Cleveland. Judge Pearson set April 4 as a tentative date for the hearing on the motion for a temporary injunction. Or What Have You?

Editor, Gazette, Dear Sir: I notice in a recent issue of your paper that you give a short sketch and a portrait of ex-Representative Henry T. Eubanks of your city, recently deceased. This widened death came as a great surprise to me and I am in the Capitol building certainly not more than ten days prior to his death. At this time he looked the very picture of health and robustness. Mr. Eubanks and myself served together in the 78th General Assembly. He always impressed me as a manly man in the very highest sense of the term. He was frank, open and above-board in all his actions, approachable and sociable to those who would make the punches, but more or less reserved the man himself, acquainted with him. He seldom spoke on the floor of the House, when he did, however, he commanded attention. I would not be so carried away in my estimation of Mr. Eubanks, or so foolish as to compare him with Daniel Webster, or to compare any other living orator with this giant of the forum for that matter: but his oratory was of that class. By this I am convinced that he is well-versed and delivered with a convincing force that carried conviction. He had an unusually good voice, coupled with a physique to back it. I am glad to add these few words as a slight tribute to one who held my confidence, and I think this confidence was reciprocated. I had frequent talks with him on general legislative matters, and more particularly with any movement concerning the Colored people. On all these subjects he was fair and open-minded, and I think this confidence it is a pleasure to the question. It is a pleasure to the sighing token to his sterling merit as a citizen and as a statesman. Yours very truly, L. H. SCOTT. M. B. HON. JERE A. BROWN. Twice a Member of the Ohio Legis lature—An Immigrant Inspector—Clerk in the State Insurance Department—His Rise from a Carpenter's Bench. After an illness of weeks, Hon. Jere A. Brown, age 75, died last week and was buried, Sunday afternoon, from the family residence, 2345 E. 65th St. The funeral was largely attended. His career was indeed a remarkable one. If memory serves us correctly, he was born in St. Augustine, and lived there until his death, before locating in Cleveland. His mother and sister, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the well-known elocutionist, his second wife and two small children survive him, and have the earnest sympathy of a host of Mr. Brown's friends and acquaintances throughout the country. He was one of our best known Masons and a thorough race man. He in Cleveland, a clergyman, then a letterer, for years. It was while thus employed that The Gazette brought him out as a candidate for the Legislature to defeat John P. Green, who at time was president of the "Social Circle," a local organization, nicknamed many years ago by W. T. Boyd. The Blues Society, John P. Green or in the Legislature, Mr. Brown was elected and re-elected, serving two terms. The Gazette's first political victory. His most conspicuous work as a legislator was the passage of bill which is still a state law and effective. While a member of the State Legislature, Mr. Brown of Senator John Sherman, who secured his clerkship in the state insurance department at the close of his legislation, career, and whose friends kept him in a political position of some kind until Senator Hannah secured him the appointment of immigrant inspector, some years ago. This he held until demoted and given a minor position in that office, under the direction of the State Legislature, who hurt Mr. Brown "to the heart," and many believe, played an important part in his rapid decline thereafter and recent illness. He served two terms as a deputy sheriff, many years ago, and was past grand master of our Masons of the state, at the time of his death. It is said of Mr. Brown that soon after the war of the rebellion, he served on the Mississippi river steamboats with "Mark Twain" (Samuel Clemens), and that he served on the Mississippi river steamboats with "Emesutaria," whose boiler exploded and caused the famous disaster which history records in connection with that great river. His first wife was for many years an active member of Mt. Zion Congregational church, of which Mr. Brown was also the President of the church piloted at the (unsec) INTER-RACIAL MARRIAGES Why Southern Democrats Have Caused "Separate Marriage" Bills To Be Introduced in Northern Legislatures, Etc. Columbus, O.—The following excellent communication was published, recently, in the Columbus Daily Ohio State Journal: Mr, Editor, Dear Sir: It is reported that there is a bill before the Ohio House of Representatives to prohibit intermarriage between white and Colored persons, and to make it unlawful for those already married to continue the marriage relation. It seems that similar matters has been introduced into other northern legislatures, some of which have already turned it down. This bill is evidently modeled after those prevailing in the south, and it is not difficult to guess the source of its paternity. The success of the Democratic party in the recent elections, state and national, has doubtless encouraged and stimulated the development of a degrading policy of Tillman, Vardaman and Blease toward the Negro. This is no sporadic movement; nor the work of some small faction under a monetary impulse; it is guided by method and pushed with a persistent and tireless energy. It is not, therefore, to be treated lightly. What the south surreptitiously at Appalachia did not not its policy or its purpose, though, of course, circumstances have necessarily changed its methods. Consider the successive steps in this process: Denial of civic rights; disfranchisement, first by violence and then under the disguise of various laws; Jim Crow cars; attempts to restrict educational opportunities to elementary and industrial education; schools by making the Colored common schools depend wholly on taxes paid by Colored citizens. The bill now before the Ohio legislature is another step in the same process. What next? Will it be a proposition to repeal those amendments to the bill that require the use of indescribable trial, suffering and carnage? Is it any less true today than in Lincoln's time, that a house divided against itself cannot stand? Or is the harmony to be restored by the surrender of the north? If the measure under consideration should be allowed to now take its course to the supreme court, confident that it would there be put to sleep, but when it is considered a link in the chain which the south is steadily and persistently forging for the virtual enslavement of 10,000,000 citizens the question becomes far more serious. The arguments advanced to support this bill, considered in themselves, do not deserve serious attention. But what would be the practical effect of this measure? It might prevent intermarriage to a degree, but would it prevent intermixture? If anyone doubts, let him go into those southern states where such a law prevails and learn the facts. The proper name for this bill—a name that would indicate the effects of its practical operation—would be the association of white and Colored in virtuous sexual relations, and to promote concubinage, bastardy and immorality." As a matter of fact, there is very little intermarriage between the races in this state, and there is no evident tendency in that direction; probably the only effect would be to break up the happy homes of those already married, who have families, many of whom, if not all, are living in congenial companionship and are useful and honorable citizens. They entered the civil service of the laws of the state. Shall these happy families be torn asunder in obedience to the blind, cruel, racehating prejudice of those who, if they could, would make slaves of the Colored people because they are weak? Mr. Editor, what do the God-fearing, Christian people of Ohio say to this iniquitous measure? Will they keep silent and allow this brand of shame to be fixed upon the character of our noble state? The laws of God chuse not; those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. No good can come out of this measure. Evil in conception and spirit, violation of the elementary rights of humanity, uncalled for by anything in present conditions, more unchristian than anything that can be found among heathen or pagan nations. I will simply constitute a shame of shame in a great state. CITIZEN. Wilberforce, O. Don't Forget MANSON'S RESTAURANT 3350 Central Ave. Cor. E. 34th. FIRSTCLASS MEALS AT REASONABLE RATES.

HORSE RACING Indiana has passed a racing bill, but unless all sign fail Chicago gamblers will be persona non grata.

Except the grand circuit events at Fort Erie the richest harness racing fixture in Canada this year will be the $5,000 2:20 pace at Winnipeg. According to a ruling of the Supreme court, race track tickets may be revoked. Which is only another deterrent to those who still cherish the sport of kings. The French Jockey club, with the idea of improving the class of horses in the army have decided to institute 26 special races, to be called Prix de Cavalerie, the endowments of which will amount to $24,000. The new grandstand at the Vienna (Austria) race track, which cost nearly $1,000,000, is 1,000 feet long.

June 3 has been the date set for the American league championship flag raising day at Boston. The Sox will play the Bostonians on that day. JOE BENZ One of Manager Jimmy Callahan's recruits of last year, who proved himself worthy of a berth in major league company, is reported as having shown much improvement this spring.

One of the most severe losses to the Cornell track team as the result of examinations in recent years is reported in the Cornell camp. No less than 11 men of varsity caliber have been lost to the squad, which makes Coach Moakley's chances this year most uncertain. Coach Jack Moakley, of Cornell university, has placed himself on record as opposed to the hammerthrowing players in the intercollegiate matches. Moakley prefers a three-mile run instead of a two-mile race and would like to see a walking event added to the program. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O SATURDAY. APRIL 5. 1913 A GRAND PROVOST MADE ERROR Tristan L'Hermite Receives Private Sign From Louis XI., but Picks Out Wrong Man. Louis Xl. of France one day, observing among the crowd who assembled to see him an officer whom he disliked, made a private sign to Tristan L'Hermite, his grand provost, to put him out of the way. Tristan, well accustomed to the signal, but unluckily mistaking the man alluded to, accosted a well-fed monk, who stood in the same time with the captain, allured him into the palace yard, thrust him into a sack and threw him into the Seine. Next day Louis, hearing that the proscribed officer had been seen posting toward Flanders, reproached Tristan with this neglect. "To Flanders!" said the grand provost; "your majesty must be in an error. The monk has got halfway to Rouen by this time. I sent him adrift tipped up in a sack." "What monk?" "Him your majesty, pointed at." "Hah!" said the king, with his usual oath, "you have drowned me the best priest in the kingdom. It cannot be helped now, so we will have a half a dozen masses said for his soul; but it was that dog of a captain, not the poor monk, that I meant."—Life. Hints for Housekeepers If your husband is about to make a trip in a sleeping car it is a good idea to empty his fountain pen, quietly and unobtrusively, before he starts. There are several ways of cooking cabbage, but you get about the same smell from all of them. Experience has shown that unless the roof of an ordinary tenement house is reshingled as often as once in eighteen or twenty years it will leak in spots. It is hard, however, to make the owner or agent of the house liable.

"I liked your speech at the banquet the other evening very much, Mr. Glizzard, though all I heard of it was the last sentence or two." "Doctor, we haven't had the slightest uneasiness about Hilly since you took charge of the case. In fact, he was nearly well when we called you in."

One of the best stories of the hustling real estate salesman we ever heard comes from one of the fraternity who isn't afraid to tell a joke because it happens to be on him. This salesman heard of a man who was anxious to trade a farm for some city lots. So he jumped into his automobile, drove to the farm owner's town office and warmly invited him to come out and look at some fine suburban property. The prospective buyer seemed glad of the opportunity and they were soon speeding toward the subdivision in which our hero was interested. Half an hour beyond the city limits the real estate man began to point out corner lots, prospective paving and sewer systems, locations for imposing residences and all that sort of thing. "The city is growing right out this way," he said. "Facts and figures prove that beyond the possibility of a doubt. In ten years these lots will be in the most fashionable part of town and will be worth five times what they are selling for today. While your farm will—by the way, where is your farm located?" "We passed it on our way out here from the city," said the prospective buyer. "Want to look at it?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. GOT ALL THEY HAD. "Tom has broken with his rela- tives." "But he broke them before he broke with them." "Is this Mr. Biggs' office?" The clerk looked up. "No, sir. Mr. Biggs' office is on the other side of the passage." "Thank you," said the other, and stepped outside, leaving the door wide open. "Hi, sir! You've left the door open." yelled the clerk after him. "Dear me, so I have. You see, all the doors at my house are fitted with Bloch springs. Allow me to show you a specimen. Never wears out, never cracks or jams or needs oiling and ———"Tid Bits. Turred Down. W: Somerset Maughan, the English playwright, was praising the American girl. "The independent American girl," he said, "will stand no nonsense especially from elderly married men. "Coming over on the boat there was a beautiful American girl, and one afternoon an elderly married man's wife was heard to say to him: 'I don't like the way you've been looking at Miss Blanc.' "Poor George frrowned and muttered: "Well, she don't either!" Eggs "How much are these eggs?" asked Mrs. Younglove. "Them are 35 cents a dozen, ma'm," the grocer replied. "They're fresh." "And these in the next crate?" "Them are 40 cents a dozen. They are strictly fresh." "How much are those at the end of the counter?" "Them are 50 cents." "But they are not marked fresh or strictly fresh." "I know, ma'm. Them is some I picked out to take home." Overdid It. was the publisher. He was till he discovered that our edition of the Bible was our best selling book last year. Now he has spread broadcast pictures of the author, his wife, photographs of him shooting in the Rockies, jabbering with the neighbors and feeding his pets, and has even arranged a tentative lecture tour for him.—Puck. Shifting Responsibility A town character who had been in trouble with the police many times was arrested on a minor criminal charge. The arresting officer was amazed when the fellow appeared in police court with a lawyer, prepared to make a defense. Finally his case was called, and the judge asked the prisoner, are you guilty or not guilty? "Let my lawyer plead not guilty for me, judge." was the reply. "I ain't got the nerve." A Poser. The curate of a large and fashionable church was endeavoring to teach the significance of white to a Sunday school class. "Why," said he, "does a bride invariably desire to be clothed in white at her marriage?" and a woman was inscribed, "White," said he, "stands for joy, and the wedding day is the most joyous occasion of a woman's life." A small boy queried, "Why do the men all wear black?"—Argonaut. Uninterrupted Enthusiast "How did you manage to learn so much in the brief time at your disposal for travel?" "I didn't use it up traveling. I stayed at home and studied the guidebook." NEW SEASON STYLES Zebra Effects Are to Take the Place of Stripes. Make Up Smartly in Many of the New Cotton Tissues—Plain Skirt, It Is Said, Will Not Be a Feature. NEW YORK—Stripes of the or dinary kind will not be made into costumes for the new sea Materials assist wonderfully to make any kind of costume. At present there are such light, clinging stuffs as crepes of all kinds, and there are the summer cotton goods, that are soft, yet not thick, such as batiste, cotton ratine, fine plique, cotton crepes, and chiffon, toile, cotton eponge, cotton brocades, and linens. All these materials will be modish, no distinct one leading, each fabric being used for a particular genre of frock. For tailor suits for early spring wear there are velour de laine, fine rep, and serge. Some women always like cloth, so cloth will be employed occasionally. Changes in Trains. Nothing meets the demand of the evening gown better than crepe, and with this material and charmeuse, also embroidered nets and tulles, these costumes will be richer than they have been for a long time. The evening dress is more dignified, too, the little tail that trailed the floor at the side or back having vanished. The train is there, but it now forms a part of the body of the dress, and, while it lies well on the floor, does not sweep. None of the skirts is plain. Long lines are there, but they are formed by the folds of the drapery. The breadth of the skirt is not changed, being never more than a yard and a quarter for a tailor suit. Yet the am- MISS HENRY MISS HENRY Afternoon Gown. ple drapery makes it appear, much wider. This is the case in afternoon and evening gowns, also. The tunic draping is severe, and it is what lends dignity, while at the same time making a wearer look youthful. Tailor skirts are good walking length, allowing the feet and ankles of the wearer to show. With afternoon frocks, effects are a trifle longer; with evening gowns the skirt barely covers the feet. Very Short Coats a Success. If one should find the tailor skirt too dignified, the short sackcoat that goes with it adjusts effects to suit the most exacting. This little coat will be a huge success, for it comes just an inch below the waist line and makes the waist appear larger and, consequently, the hips smaller. The short cut is coquetttish, too, and as the fronts are double-breasted without garnish in the way of revers, the effect is quite elegant. Bands of the goods on the bias sometimes trim both tailor skirts and short coats, and they garnish, and at the same time do not take from the flat, simple ensemble of the costume. Some people call this new little coat an Eton jacket, but it certainly is not that, being longer and fuller in cut than the Eton. The fronts, lapping and crossing, makes a widely different arrangement, too. Some of these tall or suits are scalloped about the hem; and the coats have the same finish which is a pretty and unusual one. We are employing the scallop in a diversity of ways this season; to finish off volants of summer silks, for heavy toiles and plumes, sometimes bound with braid and sometimes only stitched or pressed flat. The sash, fastened to the back or to fall at the side of a coat or a summer frock, is a feature of the new dresses. Women seem to think the sash gives them long lines. When the fronts of the little coats are turned back, white or yellow vests The Voice a Pearl. Ellhu Burritt says of the voice: "Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in the days to come than the best pearl lid in the sea. A kind voice in joy, like a lark's song, to a hearth at home. Train it to sweet tones now and it will keep in tune through life." Eve Photographs. Nearly everybody knows that we see objects as pictures on the retina are disclosed, making a very dainty and jaunty finish. Unlike the man's waistcoat, this is made with long tail or sleeves, and when the coat is taken off, the wearer is dressed for almost any kind of a function in the morning. The best of these vests are of figured plique or the kind that men's summer waistcoats are made of; while dark colored vests in reds, blues and browns are in solid taffetas embroidered in little flowers scattered wide apart. The vest is bound in white or whatever shade one wishes. There was a call for big plaids last winter, so we now have a few examples of Scotch plaid in the prevailing dyes for tailor effects. The skirts showing the best and most serviceable lines are made with tiny groups of knife plaitings. The short coat is of a solid material bound or piped in the plaid. The clasps across the plain front are in enameled buckles of the dye of the coat, which is apt to be in one of the fashionable browns, such as tobacco, khaki, biscuit or fawn. The tailor suits of bright colors, such as reds, green, etc., are made with plaid skirts and coats of solid dyes. These are striking, but because of the vivid colors these suits are appropriate only for half-dressy wear. Sult in English Pattern. An effective white suit is in heavy lawn, embroidered in the English pattern. It is coarse and heavy, but at the moment these effects are more sought than light ones. The entire dress is of English embroidery, the ceinture to be used of old blue crepe de chine, swathed about the belt and falling at the side in a fringe. Many well-dressed women will have nothing but black for evening, and while white touches are not as popular as formerly, heavy gold finishes produce splendid effects. This is the case when a gaze de nicon, for instance, is embroidered in gold metal threads. A splendid example of this idea is of a black mousseline, embroidered all over in gold circles put wide apart. Yellowes of all shades are fashionable. While yellow was extremely stylish during the winter, we had an idea that people would tire of it. But this did not prove to be the case. The most fashionable tint is that of lemon or even orange. These tones light up well at night and, when seen beside the old-fashioned pale pink or blue, put them completely in the shade. These tones also influence afternoon gowns, though effects are less brassy. For tailors a yellow that is known as khaki, and all nuances that gave fushes of gold are popular. Tilleul is not unlike lemon, and this is one of the new colors for spring, though it was used a bit last winter. Foulard Not in Demand. We are carrying over brilliant reds, such as watermelon, geranium and fuchsia, also shrimp and salmon. Among new combinations that of khaki and dark blue is fine, be the material a heavy one or of crepe or silk. Foulard has not been modish in Paris for some years, and there is no indication of its arrival for the summer. There are too many attractive goods to replace it. Solid dark taffetas, with widely separated stripes of gay color, will be used, but taffeta calls are not as dominant as formerly. Women prefer stuffs that are softer and more flattering, and the best taffetas are quite hard against the complexion. Taffeta, unless it be very supple, does not drape gracefully, either. It is brittle and people declare that folds of it wear out too quickly. This is not the case with crepes and soft goods. The illustration shows an afternoon gown in slate color with stripes of old red, belt of gray suede leather, guipme of embroidered linen. Collar Protectors. While collar protectors, dainty as can be, may be bought at no great price, they are so inexpensive to make that the woman who sees bargains in lace insertions is prone to pick up the lengths for these dainty dress accessories. Three-quarters to a yard of lace insertion, six or seven inches wide, is required for one of the protectors. All that is needed is to gather the lace at either end and cover the gathers or fulness with a tassel or ball of crochet. These danglers may be picked up for a few cents in some of the shops at the clearance sales which now abound. No matter how careful one is with the fur or marabout neck piece, there is always a chance of its rubbing against and soiling the dress collar. One of these protectors will save the rubbing on the gown, and when soiled may be as easily washed as a handkerchief. Embroidery Apron. So absolutely simple that the wonder is that some woman did not design it years ago, is a little embroidery apron of half-oval shape, slightly curved at the waist line to fit smoothly into a band and directly in its center equipped with a half oval pocket about a third of the size of the plafore proper and affording ample shelter for a small piece of fancy work. The apron is dainty in white batiste edged all round with a scalloping in a pale color and with its pocket simi-early edged but carrying in its center an embroidered floral design. Fringe Persists. In hairdressing fringes, both straight and curled, still persist, but only a few strands of hair are cut up on the forehead. Puffs and curls are arranged from back to front instead of following the line of the brow, and the dressing is done very softly and with a strong blas in favor of the side parting. There are no longer any coils showing on the top of the head, but the back is covered with puffs so soft and flat that they look like waves. of the eye. Out of this fact, doubt less, there sprang up the popular be lief, amounting in some quarters to superstition, that "pictures" may be seen in the eyes of dead men—Harp's Weekly. His Position.

Miss Dora Keene was talking at a tea at the Acorn club in Philadelphia, about mountainers' enthusiasm. "The frezy to get higher, higher, higher," she said, "is quite incredible to those who have done no mountainering. "There's a story, doubtless true, about a girl who climbed the Schreckhorn, a difficult rock-scramble. When the summit was reached the head guide, wiping his brow, panted: "Well, here we are, men, up on the top at last." "But the girl said, fretfully: "Oh, guide, can't we go any higher? "Not unless you climb this alpenstock, miss," the guide answered, thrusting it into the frozen snow." Simple Remedy for Burns Common whiting, mixed with water to the consistency of a thick cream spread on linen, forms an excellent local application to burns and scalds. The whole burnt surface should be covered, thus excluding the action of the air. The case it affords is instantaneous, and it only requires to be kept moist by occasional sprinkling of cold water. Not Surprised. · "What did her father say when you asked permission to marry his daughter?" "Not much." "Did he seem surprised?" "No. I guess he knew that I hadn't been hanging around that house for the last two years just to get his political views." Many Others Have Had Same Opinion. Thomas Caryile had a bad opinion of the London zoological gardens, "I hate zoological gardens," he once remarked, "since I went to the Regent's park and there saw a beast walking round and round everlastingly, till it had made a white track round its cage, and it glared at me through the bars." A surprising answer was elicited at a recent examination at a board school in London. "Who was David?" asked the inspector. "King of Israel and the son of Jesse," replied a bright boy. "Who was Jesse?" continued the inspector. "The Flower of Dunblane" said the scholar, after a slight pause.
