AMERICA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BRIEF NEWS NOTES WORTH READING GENERAL SUMMARY OF HAPPENINGS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. PUT INTO PARAGRAPH FORM Everything of Importance That Has Occurred in the Past Week Has a Place in These Classified Items That Can Be Read at a Glance. Washington Declaring that the American and National leagues of professional baseball clubs was "the most audacious and autocratic trust in the world," Representative Gallagher of Illinois introduced a resolution in the national house of representatives calling upon Attorney General McReynolds to make a thorough investigation into its workings. By a strict party vote, the U. S. senate finance committee decided finally that no public hearing will be given upon the tariff bill when it reaches the senate. Interested persons will be given a full opportunity, however, to file briefs or statements with the committee, bearing on any of the tariff schedules. The sundry civil appropriation bill carrying $116,000,000 was passed by the house in Washington. By a vote of 198 to 48 the house rejected a motion of Representative Gillette of Massachusetts to strike out the provision exempting labor unions and farmers organizations from anti-trust suits. This provision caused President Taft to veto the bill on March 4. --- Representative Payne of New York has introduced a bill in the house at Washington to create a tariff commission, to be composed of tariff experts, to assist the president in negotiating reciprocal treaties with foreign nations. Secretary of State Bryan telegraphed to Governor Johnson of California requesting him to withhold his signature from any anti-alien land legislation passed by the California legislature which might be in violation of treaties between the United States and Japan. That ad valorem duties such as are proposed in the Democratic tariff bill are a "delusion and a snare;" that the radical tariff revision submitted by the Democrats is inexcusable and uncalled for and that an accounting will come for its enactment into law, are contentions of the Republican members of the ways and means committee in a minority report presented to the house. Walter Scott of Regina, premier of Saskatchewan, is in Washington urging a revival of the Taft Canadian reciprocity agreement. He declares that the people of western Canada want reciprocity and that it was beaten by the easterners when the issue was up two years ago. President Wilson accepted the resignation of George M. Bowers, United States fish commissioner, and designated Dr. Hugh S. Smith, deputy fish commissioner, as acting commissioner Domestic More than 100,000 children, most of them pupils in the Pittsburgh public schools, marched or ran wild through the streets of the city, demanding that S. L. Heeter, superintendent of schools, be thrown out of his position because of alleged immorality with servants in his house and others. The Minnesota workmen's compensation bill, as passed by the senate at St. Paul, was agreed upon by the joint conference committee. The bill now goes to the governor. Gov. Hiram W. Johnson has issued a statement in which he upholds the right of California to dictate the terms on which allens can hold land within the state. Added significance is given to the governor's stand by the fact that two new bills dealing with the land question will be offered in the state legislature. Ellen B. Hopper, a comic opera singer, known on the stage as Nella Bergen, was granted a permanent decree of divorce from DeWolf Hopper, the actor, at Mineola, N. Y. The Vincennes (Ind.) Y. M. C.

BILLWOULD CREATE TARIFF COMMISSION Measure Is Introduced by Payne of New York. Bill Amended by Democratic Caucus Is Put Before Members of the Lower Branch of Congress for Their Consideration. Washington, D. C.—Presenting the necessary four special tariff experts to assist the president in negotiating reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries, Representative Payne of New York introduced a bill to create a tariff commission. Avoiding the chief objection made by Democrats to the last tariff board, Mr. Payne provides in his bill that the commission shall make annual reports direct to congress as well as to the president and shall make special investigations and reports on tariff subjects at the direction of either the house or the senate. Reciprocal Agreements. The Republican tariff board which the Democrats permitted to die for lack of funds reported direct to the president and was not under the control of either the senate or the house. It made exhaustive reports on the wool and cotton schedules. The broadest kind of reciprocal agreements are authorized by the Underwood bill, such agreements being subject only to the ability of the president who negotiates them to get them ratified by the house and the senate. The president has announced that as soon as possible after the passage of the bill he will enter into negotiations with foreign countries to secure the most advantageous trade relations and tariffs for this country. The Payne commission is to consist of five members, not more than three of any one political party to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. To make a continuing body the terms of the first member shall be two, three, four, five and six years and thereafter all terms shall be for six years. Congress is to make additional appropriation for a secretary, the necessary clerical force and for the purpose of the tariff investigations. Underwood Bill in House. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee introduced in the house the Democratic tariff bill as amended by the Democratic caucus. Most of the changes in the bill made during the caucus consisted of change in verbiage and did not affect materially the general character of or the duties carried by the bill as prepared by the Democratic members of the committee. The most important changes made to the dutiful list were: Shoe machinery, buckwheat and rye, phosphoric acid and rabbit fur carried to the free list. Onyx cut from 65 cents to 50 cents a cubic foot. Manilla beans reduced from 50 cents to 30 cents per pound. Important changes made in the income tax section of the bill were: Exemption from the tax of the incomes of mutual savings banks. Exemption of life insurance reserve funds and of the proceeds of policies paid on death. Underwood presented a lengthy report from the Democrats explaining in detail the features of the bill. Comparisons are made with all the provisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. OHIO MOTHERS ASK PENSIONS Many Apply to Several State Departments, but Payments Cannot Start Before February, 1914. Columbus, O.-Already letters are coming to the several state departments concerned in the operation of the mothers' pension law, indicating that many of the prospective beneficiaries of it are confidently expecting that in 90 days from the present time they will come into the enjoyment of their $15 a month, plus $7 for each dependent child above one. The fact is that it will be practically a year before any pensions can be paid under this law. The pensions are to be paid out of a special fund to be produced by a levy which the county commissioners are required to make. But the levies are made only at the close of the year and the budget commission will not pass on these for many months yet. When the levies are made, the operation of the mothers' pension law will have to wait still until the taxes come in under it, which will not be earlier than the middle of next December. The distribution of taxes will not be made earlier than February, 1914. To Abolish Onium Traffic Washington, D. C.—Governmental co-operation in the stamping out of the opium evil was strongly urged by President Wilson in a special message to congress. He transmitted a report by Secretary of State Bryan on the subject. Message said in part: "I most strongly urge not only the immediate appropriation of $20,000 which is asked, the absolute necessity for which is so apparent, but also the enactment of the requisite anti-drug legislation to which this government is pledged internationally." MRS. WILLIAM C. STORY C. HARRIS & EWING Mrs. William Cummings Story of New York was elected president of the Daughters of the American Revolution after a bitterly contested campaign. The election of Mrs. Story ends a five-year campaign. She was defeated by Mrs. Matthew T. Scott In the last two elections. Woman Buries Mother and Sister in Basement. Officers Find the Corpses After Owner of House Detects Strange Odor St. Louis, Mo. "The bodies of Mrs. Ernesting Komnichau and her daughter, Selma, were found shortly before noon buried in the basement of a building at 2412 South Broadway. Marie Komnichau, another daughter, was arrested at the city hospital shortly after noon pending investigation of the mystery. At the hospital Marie Komnichau said her mother and sister died of natural causes nine months apart, and that she buried them in the basement at their requests because they feared ghouls. The finding of the bodies resulted from a visit which the owner of the building, Albert Stuhr, made to the premises about 10 o'clock in the morning. He noticed a strange odor and reported to police headquarters. An investigation by two detectives resulted in the finding of a grave and the bodies. Marie Komnichau told at the city hospital her story of the deaths and burial of her mother and sister. She explained that, with her mother and sister, she had conducted a notion store in the front room of the house for nearly 20 years. "My mother and sister were afraid of being buried in cemeteries," she said. "They were afraid their bodies would be stolen, and also afraid that they would be buried alive. That was the only reason I did not have their bodies attended to in the usual way. "My mother died nine months before my sister did. I don't remember the exact date, but sister died Feb. 10, and I figured it back at that time, so I know there was nine months difference. My sister died of heart trouble and from taking too many headache powders. My mother died of old age. "Before my mother died, she made sister and me promise that we would not take her body out of the house so the undertakers could get her. We had no doctor for her—there has not been a doctor in our house for ten years, and a doctor could have done mother no good. "I put her body in a show case which we took from the notion store, and poured plaster of paris around the glass and cracks to keep the air out. We kept the show case containing the body upstairs in a rear room. No one knew, for none of the neighbors had paid any attention to mother and they did not inquire about her. "When sister died I knew the people would ask about her and that if neighbors found out I was keeping her body they would ask about mother, too. "Then I took both bodies into the basement. I laid them on the basement floor and poured plaster of paris and cement over them." Explosion Is Fatal to Three Lake Hopatcong, N. J.—Three men were instantly killed and seven injured in an explosion in the packing house of the Atlas Powder Co. The packing house was wiped out and no trace was left of the men known to have been working at the time. Those injured were working in several of the 50 odd other buildings of the plant near the packing house. A call for physicians was sent to Stanhope and Morristown. The explosion broke windows of houses at the other end of the lake, four miles away. 110 DIE WHEN GAS EXPLODES IN MINE Many Escape, but Some Are Seriously Burned. Relatives and Friends of Men Beneath Surface Become Frantic and Guard Is Placed, Completely Surrounding Entrances. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The lives of 112 miners were snuffed out as a result of a gas explosion in the Cincinnati mine of the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal & Coke Co. at Finleyville, 27 miles from this city. From 76 to 78 men made their escape. Some of them, however, were seriously burned. The bodies of several victims have been recovered. Fire broke out in the mine. Rescue work was carried on with difficulty, owing to the fire and deadly fumes. The coal company maintains a rescue corps patterned after the mine force of the United States government. But a few of the miners who reached the surface were in condition to talk. From these little could be gained. Suffering from burns or fright, the miners only knew that an explosion had occurred and that a large number of men were either killed by the explosion or asphyxated by the "after damp." Say Mine is "Full of Dead." Several hours after the explosion seven foreign miners crawled from one of the entrances of the mine. All were seriously burned. They could give no connected account of conditions in the mine or their individual experiences. They all said the "mine was full of dead people." Business in Finleyville was suspended. The greatest excitement prevailed and practically the entire community rushed to the ill-fated mine. Relatives and friends of the men beneath the surface were frantic. Many of them had to be restrained. After a time a guard was placed, completely surrounding the entrances to the mine and all persons except rescuers and mine officials were held at a distance. Of the known dead several are Americans. Among them John Green, Thomas Carter, son of William Carter, superintendent of the mine; Robert Anderson, machine boss; Charles Hager and John Lake. The explosion occurred between No. 1 and No. 2 right entries, 3,000 feet from the mouth of the mine. Rescuers From Five Mines. A. V. Brown, assistant mine foreman, stated that 179 men went to work in the mine, but these figures are believed to be much too low. An accurate estimate of the number of dead is impossible until the fate of the missing men is known. Mine superintendents, pit bosses and fire bosses from five miles in the vicinity were organized into rescue parties. One party penetrated the mine from the Monongahela river side and discovered the bodies of two miners, indicating, they reported, that the miners further in had been killed. Efforts were then made to force an entrance into the mine from the Finleyville side, the entrance through which the men who escaped made their way to safety. FIREMEN WIN WAGE BOOST Employees of 54 Eastern Railroads Get an Increase of 10 to 12 Per Cent in Pay. New York City—The locomotive firemen of 54 eastern railroads have won an advance of 10 to 12 per cent in wages, or about $3,000,000 per annum, by the decision of the arbitrators, just published. But their demand for two firemen on all heavy engines is denied, although provision is made to have a second fireman put on when necessary. The arbitration board was selected under the Erdman act to settle the controversy between the 35,000 firemen employed by the roads north of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi rivers. The men asked for an increase of 15 per cent. The award standardizes the roads by basing the pay of the firemen on the weight of locomotives on drivers and by specifying ten hours or less or 100 miles or less shall constitute a day's work in all classes of service. The firemen are relieved of all cleaning of engines. The award was unanimous, the three arbitrators — William L. Chambers, William W. Atterbury and Albert Phillips—signing it without dissent. The award stipulates that the earnings of firemen in any class of service shall not be diminished by the provision of the award. The award is made effective ten days from the day the document was filed, as provided by law in the Erdman act. Montenegrins Capture Scutari Cettinie. The strong Turkish fortress of Scutark fell on April 23 before a desperate bayonet charge of the Montenegrin forces, which followed a 24-hour bombardment. King Nicholas of Montenegrin entered the city in triumph, blinding defiance to the great powers of Europe. Surrounded by his tattered and exhausted, but enthusiastic troops, King Nicholas declared: "We have merely retaken our own and we will hold Scutark against the powers as courageously as we fought against the Turka." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS R. HARRIS & EWING William Henry Ninebaugh, the new congressman from the Twelfth district of Illinois burst into the limelight almost as soon as he struck Washington. He did this by jumping in and organizing the Progressive party in the house, securing its recognition by the Democrat and getting Victor Murdock to stand as its candidate for speaker. LATE J. P. MORGAN'S WILL Financier Leaves to Son Bulk of Fortune, but Provides for Widow and Other Relatives. New York City.—"I commit my soul into the hands of my Savior, in full confidence that having redeemed me and washed it in his most precious blood he will present it faultless before the throne of my Heavenly Father; and I entreat my children to maintain and defend, at all hazard, and at any cost of personal sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of the complete atonement for sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, once offered, and through that alone." This utterance begins the last will and testament of John Pierpont Morgan, who died in Rome on March 31. The will was offered for probate today. The extent of the fortune cannot be stated. The son and namesake of the financier is the chief beneficiary, receiving the bulk of the fortune, including the great art collections, the contents of the Morgan wine cellars, the Adirondack cann, the vacht Corsair and other personal property not otherwise disposed of, after certain specific provision for the widow, daughters and a few others. The sum of $3,000,000 was set aside for the children of J. P. Morgan, Jr. in case he died before his father. Mr. Morgan left his widow, Frances Louisa Tracy Morgan, $1,000,000 in trust, to receive the income during her life and to have power to will it at her death. In addition she is given other property sufficient to yield in the aggregate an income of $100,000 a year. To his daughters, Mrs. William Pierson Hamilton, Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee and Ante Tracy Morgan, are left $3,000,000 in trust each; to William Pierson Hamilton, son-in-law, $1,000,000, and to Herbert Livingston Satterlee, son-in-law, $1,000,000. PENNSYLVANIA MAN A SUIGIDE Prominent Resident of Harrisburg Takes Own Life by Jumping Into Water at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal.—Three five cent pieces and a penny—a poem to "The Moneyless Man"—and two brief notes addressed "Dear Margie" found in the pockets of an expensive suit of clothes, carefully folded and laid on the end of the pier at Sunset Beach, the bits of grim evidence left behind to account for the motive of the suicide of George A. L. Row, a prominent resident of Harrisburg, Pa., whose body was found a short distance from the little fishing pier. The corpse had been tossed upon the sands by the waves. The theme of the poem, the small amount of money left behind, the notes begging for the forgiveness of his wife for his desperate act, and the facts pointing to a coolly planned and deliberate taking of his own life are all of peculiar significance and indicate clearly that behind the tragedy is a story of financial failures and money complications. Made Death Mask of Lincoln. Washington, D. C.—Joseph Palmer, the oldest employee in the National museum and the man who made the death mask of President Lincoln after his assassination, died at his home at Rosslyn, Va. Palmer had been in the government employ since the Civil war. During that time he had been head of the modeling and taxidermy department. When President Lincoln was assassinated those in authority, wishing a death mask of the dead president, sent Palmer to get the likeness. STAMPS MILE LONG STAMPS MILE LONG New Device Great Saving in Printing Cost. New Machine in the Government Plant at Washington Saves Time, Labor and Space in Turning Out the Little Paper Squares. Washington—Just think of it, postage stamps can now be purchased by the mile strip. Uncle Sam has just installed a new invention in the bureau of engraving and printing which manufacturers stamps at the rate of 12,000 per minute. It is a plate press which produces the little stickers on a continuous roll of paper. Further than that, the same press is apt to revolutionize printing from engraved plates; it is regarded as bearing the same relation to the development of the science of plate printing that the Mergenthaler linotype machine bears to hand composition of type. This plate-printing press eliminates 23 processes in the former method of printing postage stamps; the only use, so far, to which it has been applied. The paper is fed automatically from the roll, inclosed in a safe-cylinder, to the press, which prints the stamps, dries the ink so that there is no trace of "offset," gums the back of the stamp-printed roll, dries the gum, breaks the hard, glazed, solid face of the gum, perforates and counts, and either rolls up the strip of stamps or slits them into strips of a single stamp's thickness for use in stamp-vending machines, which it also rolls up, or cuts them into sheets. The machines, which is looked upon as one of the mechanical wonders of the printing age, is the invention of Benjamin R. Stickney, a mechanical expert and designer in the bureau, whose salary has for years been only $1,200 per annum. Since completing the machine Mr. Stickney's salary has been advanced to $3,500. This is only one instance in many where Uncle Sam recognizes inventive genius in his employ. On an annual bill of half a million dollars for printing postage stamps, the bureau of engraving and printing is anticipating a saving of $400,000 annually through the installation of this device, a 67 per cent. decrease. If the machine takes to printing money and bonds and other securities the prospective economy will likely reach into the millions of dollars. The press, while it has not yet been speeded up, is expected to print from the roll at the rate of 75 feet of stamps a minute. The perforator and cutter can revolve even faster—four times as fast, making holes or strips, lateral or transverse, at the rate of 280 feet a minute. The device also means a great saving in space occupied and in manual labor. The press is about three feet wide and something less than 25 feet long, with a height of never over seven feet. Human direction will be required only to run the press and to direct the perforating machine—a man and a girl will make a crew. In the old way of making stamps, there was much handling with many separate processes. The paper on which the samps were printed was regarded as a valuable asset, and had to be guarded, so that in the unprinted bulk it was carried to a place of security after work every day, and back again to the presses every morning. The paper, before it is ready for printing by the new process, must be made wet, and wet according to a certain accurate standard of moisture. The old stamp presses could not apply the pressure necessary for dry printing. The sheet of unrolling paper ascends over rollers and is fed from overhead into the press. It passes down between the feed roller and the printing cylinder, on which is fixed the engraved plate from which the samps are printed, receiving the impression in passing. The paper, having received the stamp impression from the engraved plate, proceeds to a roller at the bottom of the press, and then ascends again to the top, where is passes through a group of ten cylinders, all heated by electricity. This is the method of drying the ink, and so effective is it that not a trace of "offset" is shown at any time in the process of making the stamps, or afterward. HIS ONLY SOLUTION. Senator Goff of West Vidgina, who has been transferred from the bench to the senate by the legislature as the only solution of the senatorial tangle, has been casting over his accounts to find how much money the senatorship cost him, as he is required to make a statement to the senate. The senator discovered the election cost five cents. This was the price of a telephone call from a friend at the state house informing him of his election. The friend paid the five cents. No Elies on Them. The teacher was intent on the lesson, and continued impressively: "And vast swarms of flies descended on the land and came into the houses of the Egyptians and covered their clothing and their tables and all their food, but (emphatically) there were no flies on the children of Israel." A small boy from the rear of the room interrupted: "Please, ma'am, there ain't now, either."—London Opinion. .

C.—Two events of last week have contributed immense- ly to emphasize the growing spirit of “jim-¢rowism” in this city, It is quite generally known that Washington has for some time drawn the “color line” respecting theaters, hotels, restaur- ants, and even churehes. in marked contrast with the custom which pre- ‘valled when the principles and spirit of the Republican party were dom- inant, Ever since Roosevelt and Taft ignominiously adjusted their policies to the mudsill aristocracy, social fox- fire, and morbid race prejudice of the South, the imitations of raco asso elation have grown. more clearly and stubbornly defined until now even the entire system of public instruction has become inoculated with the viru ‘of “jimerowism.”. To be sure, the ‘school system is dual in its character ‘a fact latgely due to the ignorance ae t ' W ( i- 2 SS" / ’ apathy, and stupidity, if not criminal ‘negligence, of local Colored leaders But, in spite of this, there have exist- ed ‘an esprit de corps, a freedom ot communication and mutual helpful ness among those of both races, hay ing immediate supervision of school affairs. Moreover, the Board of Edu: cation, the executive machine, .pos- sesses none of the dual character which distinguishes the operation of the system, ‘The Colored members are appointed because of the numert- cal ratio our people bear to the whole population,..and not because of the duality of ‘the system as is manifest from the fact that our trustees are not assigned to the management of our schools, but are represented on all of the committecs constituted bs the Board for the conduct of all the schools. Not long since, Capt. James F. Oyster tendered his resignation as President of the Board, to take effect on the 15th inst, His’ administration hag been marked for vigor, efficiency, and fair-dealing, and It was concluded Unanimously to tender him a grand reception and an. appropriate — sub stantial token of remembrance. Just here arose a difficulty. All of the sthools are under the direction of one non-proseriptive Board of which Capt. Oyster. was President, a fact which logically. suggested) one grand non- proseriptive testimonial. It is stated ‘that a few whites were in favor of this, But the “jim-crow” spirit greatly predominated and as a consequence, the white officers and teachers tend: ered a separate reception and banquet ‘on the 9th inst., at the New Willard, one of the largest and most fashion: able hostelries in the city, The daily 7 a a 7a SS. ez val CR Bee re eT meee pee Pe Sa ee Post on the following morning said “Among the 800 who attended the reception were representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade, every school official and most of the teachers and employees of the publi¢ schools. Mr. Oyster. was presented with a watch and chain by the officials, and school teachers of the District.” ‘The fact is that “every schoo! oft cla” was not there; for not a single Colored schoo! official, from Assistant ‘Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce down, wes there, neither was there a sinal> Colored teacher or school emn- ployeethere: nor was a single cent contributed by our people toward the purchase of the weigh aad chain pre sented, On_ the oUF trus- tees, our Superintendent and the whole corps of Supervising-principals, principals, teachers and other em: ployees of our schools took no part in the affair but: were given the inti mation that their nonexpectancy, non- interference and ‘conspicuous absence would be highly. appreciated and, if necessary, demanded, Thus ostracis- ed and humiliaied, the “Colored con dlagent” “bound up their wounds. rooked. the” nant binges of | the mars and honed ‘on the 1th nst., t0 hold a reception to Capt. Yyster in the @asembly hall of the iH Brest High Seta (Colored) and | 0, 8 “loving ep? ‘fa those ‘who have confidently ré arded the public Menools as a potent nstrumentality toward the limination of fistinctions, this THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1913. See ee See DOL ADR ee: im the light of wise diplomacy and soot judgment, the question arises as (whether, admitting a igh. regard jor the eminent. services of "Capt Oyster as ‘president of the Board, it would not have been far better’ to have presented resolutions and a “loving cup” In an informal manner and thus bave rebuked the ungenerovs,| Petey Gee ne of the white school officials. Consid- ering the high grade of intellect and culture of our Washington school of ficial and teachers, it seems strange what meas were not found to. fore stall or rebuke this new phase of mad “iimerowism.” Representative Emmett Wilson of Florida urged the pfesident recently to remove from the office of collector of internal revenue in Florida, Hon Joseph. Lee, a Republican ieader. Representative Wilson auld Lee Dad held the office sixteen years and he believed & Democrat should be. ap: pointed. ‘He recommended H. Hi Lewis. The president took the mat: ter under consideration. Lee is a Member of the Face who has shown Tess interest in his people than al: most any other Afro-American office: holder. “In line with the.) foregoing. Hon, Robert Smalls, U.S. Collector at Beaufort, S.C. for more than 25 years, has been recently succeeded by f& white Democrat. Beaufort’s pop lation is foursifths Afro-American, Capt, Smalis piloted the rebel steamer “Planter” into the federal’s hands one night during the war of the rebellion, while she lay in the harbor at Charles ton, S.C, and while” her officer were ashore at a date. Under the caption, “More Power to ‘Them," The Washington Bee will thls week ‘carry the following editorial commending our people who assisted Ih defeating the ‘Oblo. Intermarriase Bil, and especially praising Hon Harry C. Smith and Prof. W. P. Dab ney for the part they took: “very Negro in-Ohlo who cov tributed to the defeat of the Reppert bill, H. B.

Some one ought to remind Councilman FitzGerald of the 11th ward that we insist on the extension of E. 24th St. to Cedar Ave., not to streets farther north, before he need expect any further support from our people. Dr. H. C. Bailley and Antioch Baptist church should serve formal notice on Mr. FitzGerald and soon, too.

Write to Mr. Dale for further particulars, at any time. J. E.

Ninth street and Euclid Av. again on Ninth St and three times on Chester Av. "Farlice was right on the job!"

To Cut Cardboard Cardboard is used for so many purposes that it is well to know the way to get straight edges. Never use scissors for the purpose, for that makes ragged edges. Instead use a ruler, preferably a brass-enged one, and lay it on the cardboard with the brass edge upward. As the ruler has a bevel edge the brass is a fraction of an inch above the board when it is properly placed. Now get a very sharp penknife, hold the ruler firmly and draw the knife along the brass edge. Do not attempt to cut through the cardboard the first time, but merely score it deeply. Now remove the ruler and cut through the incision. The result will be a clean-cut edge, such as a picture dealer makes on mats. For a long time it has been known that the tides act as a brake on the rotating earth and that they tend to lengthen the day. The effect is, however, so slight that it cannot be measured in any length of time at many disposal. It may be estimated, with the aid of certain assumption and upon the data available, MacMillan has made the necessary computation by the formula used by engineers. He finds for the increase of the length of the day one second in 460,000 years.—Harner's Weekly. "So you have determined to sue me for breach of promise?" "Yes." "With damages?" "Of course." "Well, say, I've got just one favor to ask you. Don't sue me for less than $100,000. I haven't got a dollar in the world that I can call my own and it might help my credit." The Way Out. "Martha," said Parson Hurdy to his wife, "I'm disturbed about old Brother Grabbitt's funeral. As you know there isn't a good thing that I can truthfully say about him, and I am quite averse to any hypocritical entology, even at a ceremony of this kind." "Well, Theophilus," suggested his wife, "can't you get around it by saying that a more deserving person has not died in this town for years?" Few Complete Education. In the country, as a whole, less than half the children finish the first six school grades, only about one in four ever enters high school and less than five in one hundred go to college. Thoughtful.

The Annual Convention of the Church of Gcd and Saints of Christ a Great Success. Columbus, Adam, and Eve, Noah, Abraham, John, Jesus, and all the apostles were black. Since God made man in his own image, God himself is black." Such is the claim of the God of God and Saints of Christ which held its annual convention of churches in middle Western states, in Columbus last week. Rev. S. W. Harper, national evangelist for the church, expounded the belief of the church to several hundred of our people at the I. O. O. F. Hall. Many were dressed in the showy uniform of the church. Women wore blue waists and multi-colored turbans, and men wore conventional brown and large badges. Many of the people were classical mortarboard caps. The white man is a descendant of Esau. Rev. Harper declared in ringing tones to the audience, which applauded enthusiastically. Esau had rough skin, but Jacob's was smooth and velvety, like that of the black man the world over. Here the speaker launched into a dissertation of the natural beauty of the black man's skin, its fine texture, and the sin of some of our modern Church of God and Saints' claims of the church to be held to be proven by passages from the Bible. Our race is what the Bible knew as Jews and the modern people known as Jews are the "mixed multitudes" who followed the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt after the captivity. Not until 2000 years after creation were there any white men on the earth. Rev. Harper as spectator scored the Jewish race as it is known today and ridiculed Catholics, Methodists and baptists for their baptism rites, and fire hot shots at those who observed St. Patrick's Day by wearing green ribbons. Thirty delegates from Cleveland, headed by their pastor, Rev J. E. Davis, were attendance upon the church which is located in the 37th St. Cleveland.

Chicago, Ill.—Jack Johnson was placed on trial in the U. S. district court Tuesday on a charge of smuggling. His trial on a charge of violating the Mann white slave act has been set for May 5. Deputy U. S. marshals served the subpenas for witnesses in both cases Monday. The smuggling case is based on the bringing of a valuable necklace into this country from England without the payment of duty. The puglist bought it as a present for his first wife, Mrs. Etta Duryea Johnson. "HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!" Howard University, Washington, D. C. April 19, 1913. Hon. Harry C.

I am glad that there is at least one eddy in this damnable current that seems to be sweeping our rights and dignities from under us. Sometime ago I wrote Gov. Cox of Ohio, asking him to veto this bill should it come to him; I received a bare acknowledgment from him, but I am glad that the matter does not have to go up to the governor. I shall return my special thanks to every one of you for what you have done, for what affects the race affects me. Your friend, GEO. WM. COOK, Sec. and Bus. Mgr. Holds Whitewash to Wall.

Now that Constant Le Martin has beaten Westergaard, it is wondered what city is to fall for the Le Martin-Zbysko match. Those who say wrestlers never reform forget that in getting into boxing they are at least taking one step forward. Frank Gotch, champion wrestler, emerged from the retirement of his flumboldt (la.) farm long enough to take two straight falls at Kansas City from George Lurich, the Russian strong man. Gotch won the first fall in 18:10, with an arm and toe hold and the second with a double Nelson in 5:35. FOOTBALL Seven colleges have a larger student enrollment than Wisconsin university, yet all have not the same high football rating. Captain Pendleton of Princeton was injured the other day, but as the football season is a long distance off the injury is not a serious one. Huge Beezdeck, football coach at the University of Arkansas, has been appointed coach for the University of Oregon. He formerly was full back and end on the University of Chicago team. New York is a bladder for the Army Navy game and is animated enough in pointing out the advantage of holding that annual classic in Gotham. Penn with Franklin Field still seems to be a favorite, however. Charles D. Daly, who was a famous quarter back on the Harvard football teams of 1899 and 1900 and a star player at West Point in 1901 and 1902, has been appointed a first lieutenant of United States Field artillery. Capt. Henry Ketcham of the Yale eleven has named two Chicagoans as resident football coaches for next season. They are Jesse Spalding, who was captain and backfill last fall, and Carl Gallauer, who played end and tackle for two seasons. The other resident coach will be Douglas Bomeliere, all-American end for three years. MISCELLANEOUS Alumni and students of Wisconsin plan a $1,000,000 athletic stadium to be built on the shores of Lake Mendota. Plans on the Badger plant are being pushed rapidly. By a vote of 6 to 5 Michigan's board of athletic control voted to return to the Western Conference, thus putting an end to the agitation for the movement so far as the Wolverines are concerned. The case of James Thorpe, the Carlsle Indian athlete, who confessed to professionalism after winning prizes at the Olympic games, will be considered by a special international jury at the Olympic congress to be held in May at Lausanne. F. M. Marshall of Brooklyn won first place in the Cuban chess tournament. J. R. Capablanca of Havana finished second. D. Janowski of Paris was third, while O. Chajes of Chicago and A. Kupchik of New York divided fourth and fifth prizes. A question roundly agitated in intercollegiate circles just now is that of whether or not Ziegler, the Iowa Rhodes scholar, will be allowed to compete in the International meet. Should he have chanced to be registered at either Harvard or Yale he would have been ineligible to represent those colleges, and they hold he should be barred from the English team. PUGILISM Garboat Smith seems to be a ringer in the line of white hopes. He wins nearly every time. Walter Monaghan of Pittsburgh shaded Joe Gavigan of Czeveland in a six-round at Pittsburgh. Johnny Killane, chzmplon featherweight, is seriously considering the advisability of turning lightweight. Jack Britton of Chicago knocked out Kid Curley of Buffalo in the third round of the final bout in Philadelphia. Joe Thomas of New Orleans won easily from Yankee Schwartz of Philadelphia in a ten-round bout at Atlanta. It takes Paris to bring out our American pugilists. One never hears of them until they go over and start in picking the lemon crop. Bill Naughton, erstwhile a big advocate of Willie Ritchie, now calls on the champion to cease flirting with McFarland and really take on deserving lightweights. Jeff Smith, the American middleweight pugilist, practically knocked out the Frenchman, Adrian Hogan, at the Clure de Paris. The end came in the eleventh round. Gunboat Smith is said to have been offered the bout with Luther McCarty which has been handed on to Jim Flynn. The Marine shiled at the proposal, however. Eddie Kelly, "the pride of Harlem," and Johnny Martin of the East side fought ten fast rounds in New York. Kelly earned the honors in the majority of the sessions. The bout between Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion of the world, and Arthur Pelky of Chicopee, Mass., held at Calgary, Alberta, resulted in a draw. Gov. Stewart approved the Kiley boxing bill and named a state boxing commission for Montana. Under the law twelve-round contests will be permitted under the supervision of the commission. PITCHER LARUE KIRBY 1 Manager McGraw has released Pitcher Larue Kirby, who has been with the Glants since last July, to the Mobile team of the Southern league. TENNIS Miss Marie Wagner, holder of the woman's indoor lawn tennis championship, defeated Mrs. C. M. Beard, former western champion, 6-2, 6-1, in the final round of the tournament at New York. In the final round of the tournament, she defeated Clara Kuttroff defeated the Misses F. M. and Olive Fish. 10-8, 6-2 BILLIARDS V. Calmer, St. Louis, defeated F. Ferris, Kansas City, in the National Three-Cushion Billiard league tournament, 50 to 41. Boston defeated Philadelphia in the National Billiard league three-cushion tournament, C. E. Rider of Boston scoring 50 points to Frank Jones 37. Another billiard title holder has been challenged and must defend his trophy within sixty days. This is John Horgan of St. Louis, holder of the three-cushion emblem, who has been challenged by De Oro. The match will be played either in St. Louis or San Francisco. HORSE RACING Geers will do his final training at North Randall this year, it is announced, shipping there late in May. Mr. Billings is going into futurity racing all right, as he has named nine mares in the events which close this spring. The Patchen Wilkes farm crop of yearlings is said to total 117, and all of them and a few more by Peter the Great. Stranger, 2:16½, and Sandy Milleston, 2:18½, a couple of western horses, have been bought by C. W. Lasell. The Metropolitan circuit of half mile tracks in and close to New York state is giving $0,000 for the eleven weeks of racing this year. Saratoga is the only New York track that will stage racing this year, according to positive information of the horsemen of the Empire state. "Knapsack" McCarthy, Tom Nolan, Earl Pitman, R. H. Clark, William Maybray and others are going to do their training at the Empire track. Goldsmith Maid won more money than any trotter, pacer or runner in history. She was on the turf 12 years, during which her winsnings reached $250,000. The Director General, one of the most famous trotting stires in the country, died at Dayton, O., the other day. He was owned by Frank McCloud and valued at $20,000. The Texas stable of J. F. Newman and Sons led the list of winning owners at Juarez with $7,264, their chief winner being the crack filly, Pan Zaretta, the sensation of the meet just closed. BASEBALL Joe Wood's brother has signed with Brockton. He is young but big. Jeff Tesreau is to be the Giants' marketstay in the box this season. mainstay in the league. Manager Hughie Jennings says that he will not likely go on the stage next winter. Lou Criger says the Brown's staff of young pitchers is the best he has ever seen. Manager Chance has decided to play Harry Wolter, his fleet-footed outfielder, in center. Eddie Dunsway says he would sooner play will Providence than warm the Desert bench. Manager George Stallings is trying to get Al Shaw from the Toronto club of the International league. Jack Stansbury, whom Louisville sent to the Cardinals last season, has been turned back to the Colonels. Just 639 batters were "beaned" in the majors last year. Of this number the American league flingers hit 347. Manager Stallings says he will use Gonzales, his Cuban catcher, in about one third of the games this season. Horace Milan, brother of Clyde Milan of the Senators, is making good with the Norfolk team of the Virginia league. Manager Chance has picked Claude Derrick, who was given a trial by Connie Mack last season, as his regular shortstop. Scott, a young shortstop of the Boston Red Sox, has been farmed out to the Indianapolis club of the American association. Buck O'Brien is being touted by President Jimmy McAleer of the Red Sox as one of the pitching sensations for the coming season. There are but two clubs that boast a mighty batting pair. Detroit, with Cobb and Crawford, and Cleveland, with Jackson and Lajoie. Manager "Red" Dooin of the Phillies praises the Washington American league team. Dooin predicts a successful season for the Senators. The Boston Americans, it is reported, will let the Boston Nationals use Fenway park for holiday games. This reciprocity idea is surely spreading.

APRIL 26. 1913 In a lonely house which stood in the midst of a beautiful and well-kept garden and not far distant from the Bols d'Artôts hunting reservation, there lived a man known as Father Matthieu. His noble bearing was in strong contrast to the peasant attire which he wore. He would sit for hours reading books and meditating on their contents, and, although he greeted his neighbors when he met them, the hermit eeldom held a conversation with anyone. This served to arouse curiosity. One day as I was hurrying through the woods to join my friends I met Father Matthieu. I passed a few casual remarks to him about hunting, and was surprised to find how freely he responded about the sport. I suggested that he should join us, but he refused with thanks, saying that he eeldom hunted of late, though he had formerly been a passionate game seeker. The following year, immediately after my arrival, I received an invitation to take supper with Matthieu. The dining room was plain, but decorated in excellent taste. On the walls were hung all kinds of weapons. These opened an opportunity for me to speak of hunting. I found my host a very interested listener. After a while he told me some hunting stories of his own experience, and it was then that I took courage to ask the great question: "Why do you live as a hermit?" He hesitated a moment and said: "It is a very sad story, which I have never told to anyone, for I had strong reasons for whose sake I have remained silent is dead. I do not hunt any more because I have seen a terrible disaster, so full of horror that I took an oath never to touch a gun again. For 25 years I have kept: my oath. "Did you ever hear of Marquis de Longepierre? He lived close to this place on Chateau de Forcey. He was the most charming host imaginable, and during the hunting season a gay and merry crowd of hunting enthusiasts gathered there. The marquis and his daughter, Diane, were the life and soul of every hunt for miles around. Diane was a bewitching creature, with big, soulful eyes and smiling lips. She was full of life and spirit and enthusiastically fond of hunting. She was an excellent shot, too. The countryside was full of deer, and from the first the certainty of a heavy bag made the hunters wild with excitement. Diane alone seemed to be in bad luck. Only a few hares that nobody would think of shooting had come within range of her gun. "At last a buck leaped in out of her. She fired and the deer, a record specimen, dropped dead. She had hardly time to relocate her gun when a whole host of deer came up. They broke through the space between the Marquis and Diane. I saw her raise her gun and take aim. I shouted to her not to shoot, but it was too late. "Two shots rang out, followed by a cry of pain. The marquis ran forward, threw his arms in the air and dropped dead. The bullet had passed through his heart. "I cannot describe the scene which followed. We all ran up and did what we could to console Diane and get her away from her father's body, fearing that she was about to go insane. "Suddenly she arose. Her face was ghastly pale, but her voice was firm, and she cried: 'Who did that?' "No answer came, but as she repeated her question in a voice that showed that she was on the verge of a breakdown, her guide stepped forward and declared himself guilty. "Diane did not say a word. With flaming eye she raised her hand against the guide and then turned away with an expression of contempt. "Mile Diane, who later married Baran de Vandreault, died some time ago. Now I may tell the truth—she shot her father herself. "Her guide did not fire at all, but in that dreadful moment he realized that the beautiful girl's life would be ruined if she knew the truth, so he preferred to sacrifice himself, and he has never regretted it." I did not doubt for a moment that my host himself was the martyr and finally asked him what caused him to take the terrible guilt upon himself. Then his brown cheek blushed slightly and he said softly: "I loved Diane de Longepierre. Her peace of mind and happiness were more to me than my own life or career." Moths Do Not Like Green. In the Woman's Home Companion a contributors tells, as follows, how she made an insect-proof bag: "I put into a common green cambric bag a winter cloak and fur collared, tied the neck of the bag closely, and packed it in my trunk. During a winter in Bermuda, summers in New England, winters in New England, winters in New York and Boston, in furnace-heated houses and in the insect infested islands of Porto Rico and Barbados, no enemy has attacked the contents of that bag, though other clothing in my trunk suffered severely from the ravages of moths and other insects. Apparently the green dye is aborrent to the insect tribe." Pleasing the Customer. "Have you no decent brands of cigars?" demanded the man who was pawing over the case. "I think I can please you," said the dealer. "Here are three brands of my own—the Kicker, the Grumbler and the El Groucho." The man made a quick selection without further comment. Couldn't Shine. The young woman store detective when proposed to was silent. "Then you cannot be the sunshine of my life?" said the young man in disappointed tones. "How can I?" she answered. "I am a professional shadow." Keep Off the Track. "Darn it all, that trolley car nearly hit me." "Say no harm of trolley cars. They're the only things that an automobile is afraid of." Quanah Parker, until his recent death, chief of the Cherokee Indians down in Oklahoma, won the reputation of being the wit of his race. An occurrence in Washington a year before his death illustrated the peculiar laconic wit of this representative of a people that is supposed to have no sense of humor. Quanah had appeared a few years earlier before the committee, and its chairman had given him some very definite instructions to the effect that polygamy on his reservation should be stopped. He was told that his bucks should be made to send their surplus wives back to their parents. Two years elapsed and Quanah again appeared before the committee. Senator Clapp asked him if he remembered the injunction to make his followers dispose of all but one wife. "Yes. Bucks got one wife, no more, said Quanah. "Now, Quanah," asked Senator Clapp, "I am told on good authority that you yourself have six wives." "Me. You got six," said Quanah. "This will never do," insisted the senator. "You must go home and send those wives away. You must tell them to go back to, their fathers." "You tell 'em," said Quanah. MEETS BUSIEST MAN A number of years ago "Uncle Joe" Cannon and a party of congressmen made a trip down through the West Indies. Representative J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania was historian of the expedition and the late Vice-President Sherman and Representative James R. Mann of Illinois, now Republican leader of the house, were two of its most active members. At San Juan, Porto Rico, they found the local legislature in session, and were warmly received. "One of them seemed very much interested in Mr. Mann," said Mr. Moore, "and told him he had read every one of his speeches in the Congressional Record. "At this Sherman gasped, and, grasping the colored member warmly by the hand, exclaimed: "Allow me to express my pleasure upon meeting the busiest man in Porto Rico." It was on the same trip that Cannon, then speaker of the house, got off his famous enigram on "how to build a Panama canal." "What do you think of the canal?" he was asked. "My boy, it's simply a matter of diggin' and dammin," he answered. PLAYING IT BOTH WAYS. Two senators were watching preparations for an aviation flight at the army training school at College Park, Md. One of the army flyers was having difficulty in starting his machine. "Reminds me of the old farmer and his wife who first saw a train of cars standing at the depot," said one of them. "What do you think of it, pa? asked the old lady, after her husband had looked the engine over carefully. "She'll never start," said the old man with conviction; 'she'll never start'. "Presently the engine gave a preliminary snort, got slowly under way and the train began to grow small in the distance. "Well, now, what do you think of it?" demanded the old lady. "Her husband watched until the tail of the train had disappeared around a curve. "She'll never stop," he declared, 'she'll never stop.' AN EXPERT NEEDED. Representative Kahn of San Francisco tells a story upon Luther Burbank an da certain congressman high in the councils of the Democracy, but whose name is not revealed because of his size and fighting reputation. It seems that this congressman two years ago toured the state of California. At Santa Barbara be met the wizard of plant life and the two dined together. According to Representative Kahn, Burbank immediately returned to his experimental gardens and began the culture of a peculiar variety of pea. It was to be a square pea in order that it might not roll off Ol—off of the Democratic congressman's knife! Advantage in Throwing Straight. Mr. Knox had what his fastidious wife called "a most annoying habit" of letting the handles of his knife and fork rest on the table cloth with the useful ends on the edge of his plate. "Oliver," she said quite meekly over the dinner, "I wish you would not do that—it is very uncouth, and you know better, too." Mr. Knox winted at the correction and looked off into space. "My goodness, Amy, I wonder how I ever got along without you to tell me everything. I sometimes marvel that they ever allowed me to live among civilized people at all," and he gently lifted the errant silver handles up on to the rim of his plate. "You speak as if I were nagging at you, Oliver, and I don't mean it that way at all, but I do like to have a husband I can be proud to exhibit in public. Never mind, dear, you will miss me when I am gone," and a little look of satisfaction stole over her countenance as she said it, for she well knew that Oliver Knox was a very dependent person. "Yes," he agreed vaguely, "but when I learn to throw straight I won't miss you so much." Munchausen, Jr. "Arold—"Who giv 'yer yer black eye Jimmie?" Jimmie—"No one.

True love is better than glory, and a tranquil fireplace, with the woman of your heart seated by it, the greatest good the gods can send us.— Thackeray JUST WHAT TO BUY Hints for the Bride Who Is Planning Her Trousseau. REMEMBER STYLES CHANGE Really Little Economy in a Too Elaborate Outlay—To Have the Thing Regulate at the Time Needed is Just Common Sense. These are busy days for the spring bride. It is no easy task to gather together a trousseau, despite the fact that it is about the most fascinating shopping a woman ever undertakes. Before the prospective bride begins this shopping fest she should decide just how much money she intends to spend on the trousseau—and just how much more she can spend if she is solely tempted. It is a good plan to buy now the costume she will require for the next two or three months, putting aside money enough to purchase the clothes for hot weather, after the return from the honeymoon. This scheme will save the bride many an hour of shopping when she should be spared all unnecessary fatigue, and later she will enjoy far more keenly the selecting of muslins and linens for the second trousseau. In the days gone by, the brides bought as their dower large chests filled to overflowing with mounds of snowy linen and clothes of all descriptions—enough to last a lifetime. The bride of today, with her practical ideas has changed all this; she buys just the clothes she knows she will need, and applies the same rule to her undressing, for the styles change quickly even in linierie. The "Going-Away Suit." One costume that she knows she will require is the "going away suit." Several years ago it was the fashion for the bride to hurry at once to the train or steamed that was to carry the young couple on their honeymoon; these days the young pair very often go to a hotel for a day or two or off on the yacht of a friend, or to the bungalow or lodge that has been generously loaned to them. This change in custom has brought about a change in costume. Instead of the severe tailored frock suitable for a longer trip, the bride selects a handsome three-piece affair, fashioned from silk, shantung, moire, taffeta or one of the dressy stuffs that are being used for the smart afternoon costumes. It may be all of one material, or the jauyny little short coat, reaching to the waist in front and with coat tails in the back, maybe of the broche fabric or even of an entirely different material. Secret of Smart Gowning. Just here is the secret of much £ the smart gowning this spring—the little touches that draw the entire costume into harmony. This is the key to the successful costumes of the clever French fashion leaders. They make a careful color scheme for every bit of their apparel, from the toe of the trig, well-fitted slipper to the nodding plumes in the saucy little hat. For instance, a bright green bow may join the lace jabot at the neck and a knot of green the same shade will catch the crossed feathers on the perky little hat, while a slashing of the skirt makes no attempt to conceal the green buckle of the ankle. This is a principle which the prospective bride would do well to learn. For Real Traveling. For the serious business of traveling the bride will find a severe, well-tailored suit a necessity. It may be of blue serge, the hard, closely woven texture of which makes it ideal for wear and tear. Or it may be of black, or, better still, of brown and white check material combined with whipcord. In either case it will give a thoroughly up-to-date air if a vest is included. This vest may be made the exact counterpart of the double-breasted vest of the lord and master, and in that case should be fashioned from the material of the skirt; or it may be long, reaching to the hips, buttoned directly down the center of the front and finished at the neck with a small, rolling collar which turns back over the coat. This fancy vest is generally developed in striped silk or one of the new cotton stuffs on which the color fairly blazes. The hat to accompany this suit should be small, fitting the head snugly so that it may be securely fastened by the vell. The very newest hats in Paris are on the sailor order, with crowns of satin and a flat pump bow of the satin in the back. They are very simple—really severe. If the honeymoon is to be spent in the country, the bride will long for a trottem肿 of crush, ratine or cotton corduroy, with a good, sensible short skirt, wide enough to tramp comfortably through the fields and woods, and a loose, semi-fitting cutaway jacket. "The Little Frocks." One of the most fetching frocks recently imported for a spring bride is of crepe de chine in the new yellow shade, over which Parts is fairly raving, a yellow with a decidedly greenish tinge that suggests an unripe lemon. The sash is striped with the brilliant colorings of the Roman sash of childhood days. It swathes the hips closely and is knotted at the side with long ends finished with fringe. The neck is cut in a deep "V" and is outlined by narrow revers of batiste which are extended to form a deep hood in the back weighted with a red tassel to match the embroidery. Shady Valley In the valley of the Lyn, near Lynmouth, North Devon, England, there is a quiet little hamlet called Middleham, where for three months in the year the sun is not seen. The cluster of houses forming the hamlet is surrounded on all sides by hills so steep and high that from November until February the sun does not rise high enough to be seen over their tops. The first appearance of the sun is eagerly looked for, and as it is first of the collar. The opening is nised in with folds of the batiste. Separate Jackets. There are all kinds of separate jackets to wear with these fascinating silk frocks. The majority of them are short, fantastic in cut, brilliant in coloring, and as saucy and girlish and chic as only the French artiste can make them. Some are more reminiscent of a cape than a jacket. These little wraps, made up in the new printed cottons, are stumping with white lingerie frocks, though not as practical as the coats of black faille or satin. Evening Gowns. An evening dress of white lace is always a wise selection. It need not be an expensive frock, for lace wide enough for the flouncing can be bought by the yard. The three-tier skirt is charming for these frocks, particularly if the weaver is tall and slender, and it may be ornamented with a draped tunic of chiffon if a very dressy effect is desired. The chiffon will supply the requisite color note, which will be repeated in the sash of ribbon that winds itself in a curious manner through the filmy folds of the lace. The corsage can be easily managed, for the upper part must be transparent, and the lower part can be of lace. If there is color nowhere else in the frock, it must appear in the girdle, which may be finished in the back with a large pump [Image of a woman wearing a long, fitted dress with a high neckline and a feathered hat, styled in a classic fashion. The dress is dark with light-colored accents, and the woman is posing with her hand on her hip.] Going-Away Dress. bow, as is shown on the frock of the bridesmaid in the sketch on this page. Wraps for Evening Wear. Wraps for Evening Wear. The wraps to throw over these exquisite ceramics are worthy of the monor. They are cut from tinsel cloth, brocades and printed silks, as rich in coloring, as soft, and as supple as the materials from which the gowns are made. These wraps, almost without exception, are loose, voluminous and subtly draped; very often the fullness is restrained at the bottom by a deep band, and the arms escape from slits formed by the drapings. It is more in the wonderful blendings of color and beauty of design than in the cut that these new summer wraps excel those of other days. Such is the bare outline of costumes for the trousseau; others will, of course, be required, but the number and type will depend largely on the limits of the pocketbook. Hazel brown tweed is used for the costume we show. The skirt is in two parts, the lower, which is joined to the upper by a wrapped seam, curves up higher back and front, than at the side; buttons in sets of three form trimming. The bodice of the coat is cut Magyar and opens in the front in a "V" the right side crossing over at waist. The basque is rounded away at the forn; buttons trim front and sleeves, and a patent leather belt is worn around waist. Touque of soft blue straw trimmed with a brown aigrette. Materials required for costume: Five yards 46 inches wide, about four dozen buttons, four and one-half yards of satin for lining coat. seen on February 14, the inhabitants call it their valentine. If the day should be foggy or cloudy, so that it cannot be seen, there is great disappointment. For the first few days after the 14th the sun is seen only for a very short time, but as the sun rises higher in the heavens the time it is in sight increases daily until its height is reached, when it gradually begins to fade from view until in November it entirely vanishes from sight for another three months. PECULIAR CUSTOM OF MEXICO Not Much Chance for Prominent Man to Die Natural Death in Republic —All Are Executed. Sm'th Apperson, a Missouriian, while on a visit in the City of Mexico, was shown through the portrait gallery of the national palace, lately the scene of so much turmoil. The walls were covered with pictures of generals, dictators, o-warers, and ordinary presidents. "And who is this?" asked Apperson of his guide, pausing before a painting. "That? Oh, that would be a mere vice-president. He led an insurrection some 50 years ago." "Then he is dead by now." "Oh, yes, he was executed." "Now, here's a likely looking chap; what of him?" Apperson asked. "He was a temporary emperor; yes, only temporary." "What happened to him?" "Oh, he was executed." "And this one." Apperson asked, going down the line. "He was our most distinguished patriotic soldier," answered the guide. He did much for the country; a really worthy man." "And he lived, I take it, to a green old age." "Well—no, hardly that." "What became of him?" "Oh, he was executed." "Great Caesar! Is it possible for a prominent man in Mexico to die a natural death?" "It is possible," replied the guide, gravely, "but the chances are against it. You see, they are executed."—New York Post. Knew What He Meant Five-year old Billy was swinging on the front gate. "How's mother this morning?" asked a passing neighbor cheerly. Billy looked serious. "I don't fink she feels very good. Mrs. Brown. Her bestest rosebush is 'most spoiled, and she had to use lots of emotion." Mrs. Brown looked sympathetic, but puzzled. "Poor mother! Did it really make her cry?" "No!' with scornful emphasis. "She just putted some soapsups an 'kerosene on the rosebush, to kill the bad little bugs." "Oh, yes!' light dawned on the questioner; 'emulsion.' "That's what I said," explained Billy patiently, "kerosene emotion." Cautious Scot. A Scotchman went to a solicitor, laid before him a question, and asked him if he could undertake the case, reports the Birmingham Weekly Post. "Certainly." replied the solicitor. "I will readily undertake the case. We're sure to win." "So ye really think it's a good case?" "Most decidedly, my dear sir. I am prepared to guarantee that you will secure a favorable verdict." "Ah, weel. I'm much obliged tae ye, but I danna think I'll go tae law this time for you, see, the case I've had before ye is my opponent." Easler Task Miss Beatrice Harraden, the English writer, praised, at a luncheon at the Colony club in New York, the beautiful Easter hats that in countless numbers beautifulized the restaurant. "You'd scarcely believe it," a woman journalist said to Miss Harraden. "but many of us American women make our own Easter hats." "An Englishwoman can't make her own hats—but she can pick other women's hats to pieces." Miss Harraden answered with a smile. TOO BAD. Jennie—Did you send a poem to the girl you were engaged to?

Angry Purchaser—Then why is it that I'm never able to get more than two eggs from them and sometimes not so many in one day? Poultry Raiser—I don't know, ma'am, unless it's because you look for eggs too often. Now, if you look for them only once a week I feel quite positive you will get just as many eggs in one day as I did—Weekly Telegraph. Absentee Landlord An English tourist was sight-seeing in Ireland, and the guide had pointed out the Devil's Gay, the Devil's Peak and the Devil's Leap to him. "Pat," he said (all English tourists call Irish peasants 'Pat.' just as they call little boys 'Tommy'). "the devil seems to have a great deal of property in this district!" "He has, sir," replied the guide; "but, sure, he's like all the landlords—he lives in England!"—Manchester Guardian. Drifted Apart. "What came between two loving hearts?" "I hardly know. I told her I was unworthy of her and she agreed with me so heartily on that point that our courtship kind of langushed after that."
