The shock rocked houses in the vicinity and many persons believed an earthquake had occurred. The United States, as owner of the Panama canal, has the right to fix such terms as it pleases, and the neutrality of the waterway applies to its users only and not to the United States. This was the view expressed by Richard Olney, former secretary of state, whose speech was read before a meeting of the American Society of International Law in Washington. Irwin Frazer and Francisco Granado, murderers, were hanged in the county jail at Socorro, N. M.

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 Mortality statistics of the various states and cities for 191f made public by Director Durand of the census bureau in Washington, show a decided improvement in the death rate throughout the country. Seattle, Wash., has the lowest death rate for 1911, 8.8 per thousand. Memphis, Tenn., has the highest rate, or 21.3 per thousand.

The injury resulted in difficult breathing. Herman Coppes, self-fessed murderer of Mrs. Manny Sleep and two babies, Orville and Sarah, on a farm in East Plato two weeks ago, was indicted by a grand jury in special session at Geneva, Ill. Three indictments were returned, one for each of the victims in the case. Gail Borden, the millionaire condensed milk manufacturer of New York and his seventeen-year-old Romona, are in seclusion in New York. Miss Borden is said to be in a highly nervous state, caused by her experiences since her dramatic escape from the sanitarium at Pompton, N. J., and her flight to this city. The Lake St. John levee on the west bank of the Mississippi river, twelve miles north of Ferriday, La., broke despite all efforts to hold back the waters. An area of about 900 square miles will be flooded shortly and more than 200,000 persons will be driven from their homes. Robert G. Fowler, an American aviator, made a brilliant flight across the isthmus from Panama beach to Colon. Fowler drove a hydro-airplane and carried a passenger.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1913. OHIO SUSTAINS HUMAN RIGHTS LEADERS IN THE CONTEST. Measure Known as House Bill No. 26 Intended to Prevent Intermarriage Between Races Failed of its Purpose by a Vote of More Than One-half. Big Victory For the People. Columbus.—The second week in April records the defeat of Ohio's separate marriage measure known as house bill No. 27. The right against the pernicious proposition was won after a severe routest which lasted for several weeks. Ohio Afro-Americans, male and female, with the aid of their influential white friends, protested vigorously against the measure, which was intended to humiliate the race in the state in particular and in the nation in general. The Cleveland delegation, known as the "militant warriors," led by the HON. HARRY C. SMITH. brave and experienced Harry C. Smith, was composed of Dr. H. C. Balley, Theodore B. Green, Madams Blanche Glimore, Bessie Kitzmiller and Mollie C. Green, gave their leader the most loyal support throughout the tedious struggle which culminated in a sweeping victory for human rights regardless of race or color. The vote stood thirty-two for and sixty-six against the passage of the separate marriage bill. Thus Ohio registers her protest against discrimination on account of race in no uncertain terms. This makes the sixth state to vote down measures of this kind. The other states are Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Hon. Mr. Smith has been three times elected to the state legislature. Although now in private life, so to speak, the loyal support which members of the race gave him in this recent brilliant fight has greatly encouraged him to continue in the work for racial uplift. On Nov. 7, 1895, when Mr. Smith was a candidate for re-election, he received 3,000 votes more than the Republican candidate who was running for common pleas judge. In September, 1899, Mr. Smith was renominated for the second time and was elected by a large vote. There were thirty candidates, and Mr. Smith's plurality on election day. Nov. 7, 1899, was over 10,000. His work, personal and newspaper, in the interest of the race and the Republican party for a period of more than twenty-eight years is well known. His most conspicuous work as a legislator in the interest of the race during his first term (in 1894) was the passage of the Ohio civil rights law. His "mob violence or anti-lynching law," which is now on the statute books of the grand old state, overshadows all his work in the general assembly of Ohio. For four years, during the time Senator Foraker was governor of Ohio and as a result of his favor, Mr. Smith was a deputy state oil inspector. His bond of $5,000 was signed by three of Cleveland's oldest and most highly respected colored citizens. Though born in West Virginia (in 1863), he has lived since 1865 in Ohio at Cleveland, where he attended the public schools, graduating from the Central high school. No other Negro legislator the state has ever had has such a splendid record for work done, the kind that is of practical benefit to the race. No other is more highly respected in Ohio than Mr. Smith. Indeed, he is the only Negro legislator who has ever accomplished such work for the race. Mr. Smith has always wielded a fearless and able pen for right and truth. He has fought squarely in behalf of his race, demanding for it recognition wherever denied. Though at times he has been severely criticised, he has never varied from what he considered his duty. Unique Business Concern Prospers. The Farmers and Consumers' league, located in the heart of the wholesale district in Philadelphia, is designed to reduce the high cost of living by a new system by which the farmer deals directly with the consumer through the league. The project is succeeding. Messrs. C. K. Brown and Charles A. Hopkins are the promoters of the unique concern. FINANCIAL BOARD MEETS. Secretary Hawkins Tells Church How Money Matters Stand. Washington—The African Methodist Episcopal church raised for general church purposes $205,010,17 for the fiscal year ending March 31, according to the report of Professor John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination. The annual meeting of the financial board was held in this city on Wednesday, April 16. This money does not include the thousands of dollars raised in collections on Easter day, children's day, educational day, those for special missions, church extension, the payment of the salaries of pastors and presiding elders or for the expenses of running churches. The money that comes into the financial department is known as "dollar money," each member of a church being obligated to give a dollar each year for general church purposes. The report submitted by Professor Hawkins is a splendid showing for PROFESSOR JOHN R. HAWKINS. the church and places the work of the denomination on a plane with that of other churches which do effective work. There seems every indication that the collections during the present quadrennium will exceed $1,000,000. Of the money raised during the year $16,552.81 was turned over to the missionary department to aid it in its work and a large sum to both the educational and church extension departments. Seventy four thousand four hundred and eighty-seven dollars and sixty-six cents was retained by annual conferences for the aiding of supernated ministers, widows and orphans, and $82,704.81 was used for the payment of the salaries of the bishops and general officers and for other denominational needs. The amounts raised by each Episcopal district follow: First, $14,253.69; second, $16,465; third, $6,890.77; fourth, $13,184.29; fifth, $14,550.29; sixth, $30,724.79; seventh, $18,554.29; eighth, $15,739.36; ninth, $14,521.50; tenth, $12,563.85; eleventh, $17,360.19; twelfth, $15,064.63; thirteenth, $405; fourteenth, $4,910; fifteenth, $1,709.72. Bishop H. B. Parks, who presided, and the other members of the board congratulated Professor Hawkins on the businesslike manner with which he is conducting the financial affairs of the denomination. He is the first layman to hold the position and was elected thereto in May, 1912 succeeding Dr. John Hurst, who was elevated to the bishopric. He has spent thirty years in working for the advancement of the A. M. E. church. For a number of years he was president of Kittrell college. Kit trell, N. C. and from 1906 until his election to his present post he served as commissioner of education for the A. M. E. church. WHAT TEACHERS' COLLEGE GRADUATES ARE DOING Dean Lewis B. Moore's Report Reveals Encouraging Results. Washington—Dr. L. B. Moore, dean of the teachers' college of Howard university, in this city, in his annual report to President S. M. Newman, D. D., concerning the distribution of the graduates of the teachers' college, class of 1912, reports an increasing demand in the public schools for professionally trained teachers. He says that the "stimulus" which has come to southern education through the Jeanes fund, the Slater fund and other gifts to education has put additional emphasis upon the importance of thoroughly equipped teachers throughout the south and especially in the colored schools. The demand for trained teachers in special academic subjects and in the manual and domestic arts has been especially pressing. Of the 213 students who have been graduated from the teachers' college in the last twelve years more than 85 per cent, he reports, have gone directly into the work of teaching. Of those who have not become teachers several are active in the development of education in their respective communities. The reports which have come to the dean's office from superintendents of education say that the graduates of our teachers' college in this university "are making themselves more and more serviceable, not only as professionally trained teachers giving satisfaction to their superintendents, but also as community builders, taking part in the larger movements for the uplift of the colored people." SOCIAL SERVICE PLUS RELIGION KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE. Graphic Story of the Achievements of a New York Pastor Who by Diligence Has Wrought a Wonderful Change For Good Among the People of His Immediate Community. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York—That God has chosen men for certain work and endowed them with special gifts for such work as strikingly seen in the efforts of the Rev. G. H. Sims, pastor of the Union Baptist church in this city. Dr Sims' church located in a section which less than half the age ago was known as one of the worst sections of the city. It was a district in which lived the most criminal element of both races, where crime predominated. It was known as "Hell's Kitchen" and had such a bad reputation that the police department was taxed to its utmost as to the most effective method of dealing with the situation in the neighborhood. Before Dr. Sims took up work in the neighborhood the influence of the church had not been felt, and it was a district that was shunned and untouched by the religious and social workers. The invasion of Dr. Sims into this neighborhood required the utmost confidence and strength of purpose. He began his work in West Sixth-third street in 1901, and during his twelve years of labor in this section he has completely changed the tone of the neighborhood. The Union Baptist church has been so influential in its religious work that it has been felt throughout the neighborhood. The social and moral life of the community has been completely revolutionized. The earnestness of Dr. Sims soon manifested itself, and the once disorderly element soon began to take notice. From a trifluff and careless community, where the worst social and moral conditions existed, Dr. Sims has changed the community into one of REV. DR. G. H. SIMS. thrift. People of refinement now seek residence in this section as in any other well regulated part of the city. The district since 1898 has been known as San Juan hill, and Dr. Sims is frequently referred to as the bishop of San Juan hill. His work has been one of effort, which required patience and persistence. When Dr. Sims began his work the church was worshiping in West Sixty-eighth street in a little hall. The new church in West Sixty-third street was dedicated in 1901. It is valued at $2,000 and is modern throughout. It has a seating capacity of 1,000 and is well organized. The membership of the church is rated at 2,000, but the influence of the church is felt throughout the district. Dr. Sims is one of the strongest and most conscientious men of the race and has brought about this miraculous change in this city through the sheer force of his character. He was born in Cumberland county, Va., and was educated in its public schools. He was converted at the age of eleven and was baptized by the Rev. J. H. White of his native home. He was licensed to preach in New York in 1895, and his first charge was at Nyack, N. Y., where he did much pioneer religious work. As a recognition of his service in June, 1905, Guadalupe college of Seguin, Tex., conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity. Dr. Sims is one of the foremost men in Christian work here and is a strong figure among the Baptists of this city. Dr. Sims is known as the friend of the unfortunates, and he is constantly doing something to aid those in need. He takes an active part in all race movements. He is aibly assisted in his work by his wife, Mrs. Louise D. Sims, who was formally a school teacher. Mothers' Congress Plans Uplift Work For the purpose of doing more effective work among the girls and young women of the city there was recently organized at the Macedonia Baptist church in Philadelphia a mothers' congress. The women at the head of the movement will direct their attention first to conditions in West Philadelphia. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The negro should not seek aid outside in accomplishing anything for his uplift that he can possibly accomplish without. We should help ourselves all we possibly can. Much has been done to help the race to attain unto its present position, and much must still be done. It takes more than fifty years of giving, praying and laboring to blot out the sins of 250 years of slavery, supplemented by generations of barbarism. He should be helped in the most practical and effective way. He should not be helped in doing what he can do for himself. He should not be pitted nor censured for not working, but should be given an opportunity to enter any position for which he is fitted, and go up or down on his merit. Very often where money is given it is not the thing that the negro needs most. He needs fair play and a chance to earn money to educate his own children and to buy his own home. It is also observed in this matter of giving that many of our most deserving institutions are entirely overlooked and often those who are the most reckless in management, resultless in endeavors, untruthful in the presentation of their cause, not only get a hearing, but get money. We do not censure people who give, because in their hearts they are exceedingly anxious to help the race, but we do censure the negroes who know the truth and will not put these representatives of fake institutions out of business. Our own ministers and devoted laymen, both men and women, must take up their own work of race uplift, of rescue, of provision for the needy and fallen of their own people. So The Age would encourage all those of the race everywhere, both men and women, who are engaged in the work, or assisting it, of reaching the man and woman of the race in the street, whether they be on the downward way or are slowly falling to it. And we have this assurance amply demonstrated, that if we will begin the good work, even by organizing to do it and putting in our pennies, plenty of white people with plenty of money will be drawn to it and amply assist it; but they require a sign, and the sign is the evidence that we are organized and doing as best we can the things needful to be done for our own—New York Age. Turn over a new leaf by starting a bank account in a savings institution. Start with a nickel if you can't do it with a dollar. Start it; that's the main thing, and add to it every week, if it be but a nickel, for fifty-two weeks. A man feels better towards himself and the rest of mankind when he has a penny where he can put his right hand upon it than when he has nothing—and the rest of mankind thinks better of such a man. A negro accompanied William Clark of Lewis and Clark's expedition, which in 1840, explored the sources of the Missouri river and gained for the United States the vast and rich extent of land known as the Oregon country. To remove ink stains from colored wash goods cover spots with lard, rub well, then wash in usual manner. While this method is simple, it is sure and will not injure the most delicate colors. The turn in the lane is sometime better if it had not turned at all. Negroes were among the first adventurers to look for gold in California, and when John C. Fremont, in 1848, made his desperate and disastrous attempt to find a pathway across the Rocky mountains, he was accompanied by a negro named Saunders. Suede shoes that have become shiny and worn looking can be freshened by rubbing them with fine sand-paper. A coarse cloth dipped in salt and water and rubbed over straw matting will prevent it from turning yellow. Races may hook end races may crook, but the cloth bets on forever. A negro by the name of Little Stephen was the first discoverer of the country of Zunnis, what is now called New Mexico. Insist upon all the clothing in the family wash being plainly marked. There is nothing so annoying to whoever puts away the clothes as to guess to whom the different pieces belong. When the world of women turn down those foolish hats, and make a bonfire of them, mere man will find a match. The fellow who grumbles because things don't go his way would be grumbling if too many of them came his way. Colored women of Decatur, Ill. wives of union men, have organized an independent women's union label league. So far as known, this is the first auxiliary of colored women in the country. Time is the decisive factor in the accomplishment of any great purpose. The races have accomplished most and of a lasting character in the past who possessed the greatest patience in working out their problems of whatever sort. The Chinese, the Egyptian and the Aryan races are the greatest in this respect of all those who have 'Survived the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds.' They have builted for the ages because they were not in a hurry about it and preferred thoroughness in the workmanship that required infinite time and patience, to immediate results, rushed through in a hurry, with the least expenditure of time and patience, and therefore, all the more subject to the gradual mutation of wear and tear. The New York East river bridges and the subways are works of the character that required time and patience, and were built for the future as well as for the present. The growth of character and the material evidences of growth are always a slow and tedious process, in the individual as in the race process, and nation. The National Negro Business league was organized in Boston thirteen years ago. Its growth has been progressive, and the good it has accomplished by precept rather than example has been more far reaching than its organizers could have dreamed of. It has had but one president, two chairmen of the executive committee and two treasurers since its organization, although the membership has steadily increased in numbers and improved in character. The business activities of the race have been vitalized and expanded with the years, so that where they were but few they are now to be found in every nook and corner of the republic, modest indeed but full of the promise of large growth. The business league has blazed the way for them, and will continue to do so, if our business men are wise enough to keep it alive in the future, when they no longer need to be led in the way they should go. The activity of colored lawyers in the District of Columbia partially prevents such unwarranted arrests of colored people there are as made farther south. When such a thing is done, and the colored lawyer is successful in getting your acquittal before the court, the policeman who made the unwarranted arrest is frequently made to answer before the trial board. Once he is clear from the trial board, he is ever afterward more careful. The liberty of the colored people in any community in this country will be great in proportion to the unrestrained activity of colored lawyers in their midst; and their liberty will be curtailed in proportion to the prevention and suppression of colored Jawyers. Members and the ministers of the African Methodist conference in Indianapolis and in the south have started a movement to raise $100,000 as part of the Freedmen's Aid society fund to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the negro's freedom. White members of the Methodist conference have agreed to raise $400,000, providing the negroes obtain .00,000. The fund will go to the general fund for maintenance, endowment, repairs, and new buildings of institutions for the education of the negro. Dr. I Garland Penn of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, has general charge of the negro campaign. A historical study at Harvard university revealed the following: Negroes accompanied the first Spanish explorers and discoverers of America across the isthmus of Panama, with Balcon, and assisted in constructing the first ship that was launched in the Pacific. They were with Cortez in Mexico. Negroes were with DeSoto in 1640 and the first stranger who settled in the state of Alabama, was one of the negroes who accompanied DeSoto on his march through the state. It's not the long day that wearing us so much as the long time between freedom from small cares. The coquette is wise in little affairs, but she doesn't know when the great gods pass. What's the use of preaching abroad what you can't accomplish in your home? The world soon finds it out. The man who is forever correcting others' mistakes can't be expected to take time for his own. If you haven't got any other line, why just hold on to the line of least resistance.

Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland Ohio, as second-class matter Address all communications to HARRY C. SMITH Editor and proprietor, THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, G. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST In the country. Later reports tend to prove that New York state's amending of its "Malby" civil rights law was done on the demand of its Jewish-American citizens, and not out of any consideration for its Afro-American residents. Therefore we fail to see any good reason for the fulsome praise of New York's democratic governor, Ex-Congressman Sulzer, some of our N. Y. and several of our democratic contemporaries of other states are indulging in, these days. Last week the Associated Press representative at Sharon, Pa. sent to the daily papers of the country a story to the effect that a "Private Lightfoot" was killed in the notorious, alleged Brownville, Tex., "affray"—it was not a riot"—and that "a Negro, Ernest Dye, had confessed to the killing." No such person was killed in the "affray," a white saloon-keeper being the only one to lose his life. The story is simply one of many that have been sent-out recently through that news agency, that harm our people. What a pity it is that we have no way of counteracting their baneful effect. What a "glorious" time "states rights" democrats are having with California's chief executive and Assembly over that alien land bill! The "chickens have come home to roost," sure enough, at last. Great (?) is the national government that has to beg any state to keep it from embroiling it into war or less (international) trouble with another country. And yet what can you expect from a government that cannot or will not protect its own citizens, many of whom are veterans of its wars, in the free exercise of their God-given and citizen rights in nearly one-half of its country? We cannot but wonder at the enthusiasm of the average Negro democratic office-seeker, in the face of the darkest of outlooks for them. In each of the several cases where Afro-American republicans have been let out of office, recently, white democrats have been appointed as their successors. The fact, too, that southern democrats are "in the saddle" at Washington, D. C., and that Tillman, Hefflin, Vardaman, Roddenberry and their anti-Negro "kidney" are in the U. S. Congress, seems to mean absolutely nothing to them in their hungry and unrequited quest for jobs under "Uncle Sam." The Negro democratic office-seeker is certainly a hopeful "cuss" in the face of most discouraging conditions. REV. GEORGE A. SISSLE. Last Sunday morning, our people of this city were startled by the announcement that Dr. Sissle, the well and most favorably known pastor of Cory M. E. church, this city, had died early that morning as a result of an acute attack of indigestion. All last Saturday, without eating, he had labored in the church—the new home of his congregation he had led them to purchase and renovate in recent months and which he was leading them to pay for more rapidly than they ever had done in any previous effort. That church edifice was his great pride and to finish paying for it was apparently his one goal, next to his desire to help save souls. He forgot himself, neglected himself and worked, as he has for many months, too hard. The result, all now know. But Dr. Sissle was a good man, able intelligent, gentle, a builder for his Master. In the last year or two of his four or five years' residence in this city he grew with the masses of our people here as few of our ministers have in a decade or two. All because of his modesty, activity and success as an educated clergyman, loyal to his race, his congregation and Church. He will be greatly missed for years to come—absolutely no doubt of this. A positive and successful quantity has gone to well earned reward. To his sorrowing congregation and children, The Gazette extends its heartfelt sympathy. This entire community has suffered severe loss in the death of Dr. Geo. A. Sissle, and mourns. DR. DU BOIS AND THE. N. A. A. C. P. Aneut Dr. Byrd's communication published elsewhere in this paper, we desire to say what we have had occasion to say several times in recent months, and that is, that there are many of our people who have given and are still giving to the support of Dr. Du Bois and his "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" who are tiring of empty claims of doing and having done; and tiring of those it makes of having done small good things 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. Supreme Court pass upon the rights of interstate passengers of color trav. THE N.A.A.C.P.'S GREAT WEAKNESS IT FAILS TO EVEN ATTEMPT THE TWO BIG THINGS THE RACE NEEDS DONE. DISFRANCHISEMENT AND "JIM CROW" CARS The Association is Frittering Away Our Money and Its Time With Small Things—Du Bois Must Show Better Leadership To Win—The Proper Stand! Rochester, N. Y., April 29, 1913. The Gazette has done a service to the race and the country at large by calling the attention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to the fact that its work must consist in specific, well defined lines of work and not in isolated instances of services rendered to a few individuals. However praiseworthy these isolated cases may be, they are not sufficient to entitle the promoters of this organization to the financial support of all liberty-loving Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois. eling in the south; and to pass on the disfranchisement laws of that section based on the "grandfather" clause," it not also on those based on the so-called educational test. Dr. Du Bois has been at the head, practically, of that organization for three or four years at a salary of $2,500 or more, per year, and recently Dr. M. C. B. Mason has been added to its salary list. How many others are drawing pay from it we do not know. One thing sure, our people are NOT getting the returns from it their money entitles them to, and it is now time that some REAL showing should be made by the organization for their money and support. In far less time than three or four years, the National Afro-American Council had a test case, bearing on Mississippi's disfranchisement law, pending in the U. S. Supreme Court and on its calendar for hearing the fall of the year that Dr. Booker T. Washington captured the organization in mid-summer and sounded the death-knell of both the case and the Council. Come, Dr Du Bois, "make good" or stop asking for "funds" from our long suffering and too patient people! The Oklahoma election case now before the U. S. Supreme Court may afford you the desired opportunity. Then, too, the U. S. Commerce Court at Washington, D. C., on April 25, entirely uphold the powers of Congress and the inter-state commerce commission to remove discrimination caused by a state railroad commission enforcing intra-state rates lower than the inter-state rates, which have been held to be reasonable. This very naturally leads us to believe that it is entirely within the realms of possibility that a decision, from the U. S. Supreme Court is possible, declaring that rights of (Afro-American) interstate passengers cannot be abridged or interfered with by state laws, regulating intra-state passengers, that conflict with federal laws and result ant rights. This is at least sufficient [by encouraging to justify some effort on the part of the N. A. A. C. P. to secure an expression from the U. S. Supreme Court anent this important matter of inter-state passengers rights in the south, where the "jim-crow" car "laws" flourish. A favorable decision from that august body would just about break the back-bone of those pernicious "laws." It is worth a trial anyhow. "Get busy." Dr. Du Bois! Less talk, speech-making, meetings, etc., and more action in court, please, along the lines indicated. Our race publications should show greater interest in this matter, too. What do you think about it? THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1913 the country. The talk of progressiveness by any party is idle rot when that party refuses to denounce and oppose the reactionary method of enslaving a people as is now being carried on by this country. The "New Abolition party" is just as necessary now as it was sixty years ago. If the Association will put this up to the country as did the Abolitionists, years ago, it will not be as aggressive. It has destroyed the amendments as concern the Colored race. The attempt on the part of Mr. Vardaman to repeal the fifteenth amendment is simply the culmination of a fixed purpose that the south has had, toward which it has been working, for more than twenty-five years, long advocated by certain members, committed in the race, has cursed us. No one respects a man that submits to injustice without a vigorous protest, even to the loss of life. The more the race has submitted, the more aggressive its oppressors have grown. The advancement of Colored People, will live in the face of a more militaristically fights this evil. When a country winks at the enslavement and destruction of one race, it will do so with all races if any advantage can come to the leaders by thus winking. The democratic party of the south has done the destroying, the republican done the winking, and now the "Prohibition" separatist is normal. Separate car laws, are simply a device by which designing politicians of the south have sought to degrade and brutalize the Colored people. Separate car laws that demand and enforce equal accommodation, could not be fought, save on general principles, but laws designed to treat human beings worse than cattle have no right to be on the statutes of a civil society. The South has states as well as the Supreme Court of the nation have permitted this disgrace and injustice to remain. The fight for social justice becomes a missorner if the "jim-crow" laws of the south are not fought and removed. It appears that a more humane and less violent approach will be before the courts will declare them wrong. We are ready to follow The N. A. A. C. P in this noble effort. Our visit to Cleveland recently was made especially delightful by the editor of The Gazette. We are under lasting obligations for the unfellowed hospitality shown by the congenial editor of one of the most useful organs among the journals reaching our people. The policy of The Gazette, in so far as the race is concerned, is most wise. Its advocacy of untrammed liberty for all races, and especially his own, places it high up in the esteem of all right-minded persons. The victory achieved by this journal in defeating unwholesale recently attempted to be forced upon the statutes of the state of Ohio cannot be heralded too far and spread too widely. Colored men everywhere are debtors to Editor Smith and our paper, The Gazette. W. A. BYRD. Pastor, Trinity Presbyterian Church. HON, JOS, LUSTIG, THE RIGHT SORT. Cleveland, O, April 23, 1933. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir; I am taking the liberty of addressing to you this brief communication in reference to a matter that has been of vital interest to the members of the Colored race in Cleveland and Ohio. I beg to advise you that I was in some small degree instrument in defeating House No. 27 (A) Reppert, of Philadelphia, in a termarriage between races. By so doing I believe that my action was along the lines of civilization and progress, as it is my belief that the day of persecution against any creed or race has long since passed away. It is also my belief that such legislation as was contemplated in Mr. Reppert's bill was just another effort to stir up race prejudice and encourage blood-shed, and is what may in modern times be classified as "jungism." I wish, therefore, to assure you that throughout the remainder of my term of office you may gely upon me to assist in defeating any attempt to resurrect the days of '61. Very truly yours, JOS. LUSTIG. OHIO MOTHERS' PENSION! How Ours Here in Cleveland Can Get Them—Read, and Remember. Juvenile court, which will have charge of the distribution of mothers' pensions in Cuyahoga county, has opened a bureau where needy mothers are to apply for aid. The law is for the benefit of mothers who have children not old enough to get certificates to work. It gives a maximum of $15 a month to a woman with one child, with an additional maximum of $7 for each other child. Needy mothers should write or call on Tom Lewis, chief probation officer, old courthouse. Each application will be investigated, as has Kennedy, a probation officer, and if it is proved a fraudulent attempt has been made to get a pension, the offender is liable to punishment. Lewis has already received several applications, but it will be at least eight months before they will be available for distribution. It is expected it will take $120,000 a year to pay the needy mothers in this county. As History Has Recorded. Two lunatics conversed in the asylum yard. One had megalomania. Said he: "Had they not locked me up here I should have been a second Napolean!" Thoughtfully, the other contemplated a peacenight devil on the asylum wall, then remarked: "The second Napoleon wasn't much shucks." Not Exactly Her Opinion. Not Exactly Her Opinion.

Dr. H. C. Bailey and Anofch Baptist church should serve formal notice on Mr. FlitzGerald and soon, too. We want our readers to call their friends' and acquaintances' attention, particularly, to the advertisement of the Hotel Dale, elsewhere in this paper. It is just what it claims to be—a fine, up-to-date place and Cape May an ideal summer resort. The Gazette cannot comment it too strongly to all good people, and knows whereof it speaks. Write to Mr. Dale for further particulars, at any time. J. E. Thompson, former pastor of Zion Baptist church, Fast End, has opened a fine meat market and grocery store at 3347 Central Ave. Just the thing needed in that vicinity. Now let our people show proper appreciation and purchase everything from him they can get. Do not commence finding fault but go and do what you what you would want done in your own home. You had opened that store or gone into any other business along "the avenue." Show some real race pride and race interest. Talk is cheap and does not help enough in such cases. Charles R. Simmons, after years in the business in Detroit, has returned to this city and opened his rug and carpet cleaning works at 2160 E. 36th St. corner of Cedar Av. He is prepared also to make new rugs from old ones and do what no other establishment in the city does—make them in twelve different patterns (colors). He is a member of the race and guarantees first class work at the most reasonable prices. See his advertisement elsewhere in this paper and stop giving your work to others. We simply must patronize our own business men every time we can do so. East, 1409-R The following from a recent issue of the Akron Journal is self-explanatory with the additional information that Mr. Cooper is now in Cleveland: "John H. Cooper of 182 North Howard St., plans to start in two weeks on a new motorcycle. He is now taking popular subscriptions in hopes of raising $250 with which to purchase a motorcycle. Mr. Cooper expects to be gone three years on the trip, the object of which is to gather information as to the current state of the cut parts of the United States, as well as the foreign countries. He will then return to Akron and prepare a series of lectures. Mr. Cooper has a wife and baby, who will continue to reside in Akron during his absence." The Orlando club opening. Monday evening, at its beautiful quarters, 3525 Cedar Ave., was a grand success. The spacious rooms were neatly decorated with palms and cut flowers. Both vocal and instrumental music were furnished by Ralph Hawkins' trio and soloist-friends of members of the club. Whist and other games were also enjoyed, and the rooms were thronged with visitors. The freshments were served throughout the evening. The formal opening was most auspicious. L. E. A. brown sec. Don't throw away your copy of The Gazette when you have done with it, but give it to some appreciative person whom you feel would be likely to subscribe or take it regularly, if they had a copy to look over and read carefully. Oblige the Rev. Edward A. Gilliam and Nahum Brasher were in the city, Wednesday, from Columbus. There were rumors of a conference beween the latter and the trustees of Cory M. E. church. Mr. and Mrs. Gus. Worlidge and Mrs. J. H. Bobson of Youngstown, here in the city, recently, visiting their son and daughters, respectively. Do not forget to read carefully the advertisement of our People's Drug Store, to be found elsewhere in The Gazette. It is a race enterprise. Rev. G. V. Clark and Mrs. Grace Willis Thompson were in Youngstown, town evening, at Smith Memorial A. M. E. church concert and entertainment. The latter sang most acceptably.

Carroll Clark, who will leave the city soon to again join the vocal force of the Columbia Phonograph Co. in N. Y. City, Mrs. Bessie Kitzlmüller, M. J. A.鼠, J. A.鼠, of this social function and it ought to be a grand success because Mr. Clark has sung so very much, while in the city, for individuals, organizations and churches, that they owe him a great deal more than they will ever be able to repay. Purchase a ticket or two even if you cannot attend the assembly in this way, now application of Mr. Clark and his good work, here. Obituary THE OGDEN THEATRE The old "Alpha" is a thing of the past, and the "NEW OGDEN" now is the centre of attraction. There has been a wonderful change in the appearance of the place. New Flaming Arcs in front, light the street the most brilliantly of any place the whole length of Central Ave. Miss Helen Ogden the new owner. Miss Ogden of the most distinguished manner and presence, but has extensively traveled throughout the show world. She has toured England and the British Provinces on two different occasions and created a most favorable impression with her voice, which is wonderful in compass, range and quality. Miss Ogden has a most affable manner of address and shows an intimate knowledge of the world and its possibilities. She is appearing on the stage of the museum, entitled "AZA THE MYSTERY OF THE TEMPLE OF VEDDAI," and has had the people guessing. She accomplishes her work with the aid of Rismor, "The Disciple of Astra," and presents an epitome of the "Occult. Art of the Far East," and her entertainment is entirely different from anything ever seen in Cleveland. She open shows showing an interior of a life-size model of the sacred behind an altar on which the sacred fire is burning and then the floats up in the air, showing the poses of "The prayer to Brahma," "Watching for Buddha," "The Lun-Alta," "La danse du Astra," etc., and finishing with "The Rosary," at the finish of which a beautiful is observed when an illuminated cross shines out of the darkness over her heart, terrifying and mystifying and the way the house is being handled, is worthy of the patronage of all self-respecting people, and we hope the "OGDEN" may live long and prosper. The pictures are fine and the other program features likewise. A new piano has been installed, Fairtiax's piano added, the lights in the interior, also improved, and about everything the planade to improve the theatre and make it more baiting and Better order is observed. Go and see for yourself. No theatre in that immediate section of the city has such comfortable seats and is so cosy and nice. BOUNGS OF THE RACE Of the 229 drowned in the recent Dayton flood, only eight were Afro-Americans. Mrs. Charles Smith (white) of thaca, N. Y., recently gave birth to five children. The third time this has happened in this country. There proved to be no foundation for the rumor that Bishop W. B. Derrick's death was hastened by poison. A Baltimore, Md., common plenus judge has just decided that that city's segregation ordinance is invalid. Second victory for our people of Baltimore. The National Association for the Advancement of Afro-Americans has just closed an interesting meeting in Philadelphia. Speeches and music, Liberia, Africa, offers splendid opportunities for wealth to Afro-American business men with capital, says Prof. Frederick Starr (white). Negroes were with DeSoto in 1640 and the first stranger who settled in the state of Alabama, was one of the Negroes who accompanied DeSoto on his march through the state. A Negro accompanied William Clark of DeSoto and Clark's expedition, which in 1840 led the escape of the Missouri river and gained for the United States the vast and rich extent of land known as the Oregon country. A white man has been named auditor of the Navy Department in place of Ralph W. Tyler, who has held the office several years. This is the second Afro-American to be dismissed by the office and none have been appointed.-Ex. Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Jackson have gone to Kansas City, Kan., to live. Mr. Jackson is a well-known resident of St. Louis, Mo. His wife, who is white, was formerly Miss Marile Link, to several hundred thousand dollars. Missouri has a "Separate Marriage" law. Three Afro-American graduates of Howard Law School, successfully passed the recent examination for the admission to the bar of the District of Columbia. They are L. E. Johnson and Ocea Robert Hillebrand of Texas, and Ocea Taylor of Alabama. At the annual exhibition of the Buffalo Camera Club last week, Edwin H. Hodge of Niagara Falls, Ont., won first prize for winter landscapes, picture entitled, "Humility"; honorable mention for winter landscape, entitled "Ice Coated Trees at Niagara," and second prize for picture of "Decorations on the Hedge" has been a member of the club since a year and this was his first exhibit. Jack Johnson, do you not know that by the time members of your race get through lobbying, protesting and praying against the anti-Negro legislation prompted by your conduct with Lucille Cameron all the consideration your Jeffries' fight won for you will be turned into scorn. Negroes throughout the land now rise up and course you. Jack, why not from now on keep quiet. May your shadow on us not压 the rights and privileges of your race take a lie!—Salisbury (N. C.) Star of Zion, organ of Zion A. M. E. Church. Rev. Joseph P. Long, President of an Industrial School in Florida, who is now in Cincinnati, convalescing, was shot in the head and shoulder recently by a mob in that state, which attacked his school at night. In an escape, he fired on the mob, killing one and wounding four of its members.

BILLIARDS Joseph Mayer of Brooklyn won the national amateur 18.2 billard championship of America by defeating E. W. Gardner of East Orange, N. J., in the final game of the tournament at Philadelphia. The score was 400 to 267. AQUATIC Builders of racing shells for oarsmen report that not in ten years have they been so rushed with oil. John Keast, Yale's famous boat builder, died the other day. For nearly half a century, he worked shells, barges, canoes and other light craft. His barges and shells were used for Yale craes for many years. He was seventy-one years old. Princeton men are to be taught boxing instead of wrestling, giving rise to the belief that Princeton's football team next season will not be so strong. A total of 87 matches in the first four rounds for the English cup, the blue ribbon event in soccer football in England, attracted 1,675,325 spectators, who paid $344,450 to see the contests. It was announced the other day by L. W. St. John, director of athletics at Ohio State university, that J. H. Wilce of the University of Wisconsin would coach the state football team next fall HORSE RACING The Greater New York half-mile light harness racing circuit will distribute $90,000 in purses this summer. Wires are being laid for another move to reinstate horse racing in New Orleans. Nineteen thousand dollars will be offered in the early closing events of the grand circuit race meeting beginning in Grand Rapids July 28. The Grand National Steeplechase handicap was won by Sir C. Assechton-Smith's Covertch. Irish Mail was second and Carsey third. Twenty-two horses ran. Surveyors have begun marking out the course for a new half-mile track at the Empire City race track, owned by James Butler of Yonkers. The new track is to be built within the old one-mile oval. It is planned to hold trotting and running races there in August and the new track will be ready by then. BASEBALL Muggsy McGraw avers that the Giants will be in the race right from the start. Christy Mathewson believes the Giants will have a strong pitching staff this season. "Long Tom" Hughes, one of Griff's mastasts, predicts a pennant for the Washington. Pitcher Claus, who is the only left-hander on the Tigers' staff, is certain to get a regular job. Vincent Campbell, the fleet-footed center fielder of the Boston Braves, has quit the game again. Manager Doolin believes Clark Griffith has a 50 per cent. stronger team this year than he had in 1912. Molly Meloan has been shifted again. The Buffalo team has sent him to the Vernon team of the Coast league. Ira Thomas, the star catcher of the Athletics, says Moriarity and Callahan are the two most dangerous men on the base lines. President Wilson demonstrated he as some ball player himself when he tossed the first ball in Washington so Johnson could catch it. Baldomero Acosta, the new Washington, outfielder from Cuba, is a wealthy planner, who does not have to play ball for a living. St. Louis enjoyed the series between the Cardinals and Browns as much as ever this year. Some 76,000 people paid $35,000 to watch the games. Manager Fred Clark will make a serious effort to get some place other than Hot Springs in which to conduct his training camp in 1914. "We're after the pennant," says Manager Birmingham of the Naps. Birmie believes the Naps have a real strong team, and should finish up high. Monte Cross, tired of duty as a scout, is adrift again. He is looking for a job as manager in the Tri-State, but is willing to manage in some other class B circuit. Manager Griffith has four stars on his twirling staff, which he believes will carry his team to the top this season. They are Johnson, Groom, Hughes and Cashion. Jack Sheridan, the dean of the umpires' staff in the American league, is through with baseball for good. Hugh Hitch, the young Tiger recruit, is said to be the smallest player that ever tried to break into the majors. Louis Gallia, the San Antonio boy and former Southwest Texas Leaguer Griffith got from the Western League, has made a hit with his new manager and may stick in big company. The Pittsburgh club is far younger on the average this year than it was last. The loss of men like Leach and Leifeld and the infusion of new blood has cut down the age limit. P Manager Charlie Doool is so well pleased with the playing and hard hitting of First Baseman Luderus that he has decided to keep the former Chi cago Cub player on first base. Constant Le Marin defeated Charlie Cutler in Boston in two straight falls. George Lurich defeated Marvin Pleetina in two straight falls and Carl Lemie and "Cyclone" Burns wrestled 30 minutes to a draw. A former national amateur heavyweight champion wrestler, and John Berg, national light heavyweight champion, wrestled two hours to a draw at Seattle, neither man securing a fall. The clay court tennis championship of the United States will be decided at the Omaha Field club in Omaha, Neb., on July 21. The season for playing lawn tennis extends over 21 weeks, beginning April 24 and ending on September 22. In all 117 tournaments will be held. Australian tennis players have left the antipodes in order to be in America to play an American team in September, which is one of the reasons why the game is called a 'millionaire's pastime. Thomas G. Bundy of Los Angeles, joint holder with Maurice E. McLaughlin of the national tennis doubles championship, will not participate in the preliminary Davis cup matches in New York, June 6, 7 and 8. Business interests prevent his making the eastern trip at that time. PUGILISM "Cyclone" Johnny Thompson and Young Mahoney fought ten rounds to a draw at Superior, Wis. Harry Trendall won over Jack Shelton in an eight-round boxing bout at the St. Louis Athletic club. Eddie McGourty won a clear victory over Gus Christie of Milwaukee in their ten-round battle at Fond du Lac, Wis. Paul Brown of Hibbing had the better of Grover Hayes of Philadelphia in six of the eight rounds at Windsor, Can. Joe Mandot's success in New Orleans indicates the closer Joe sticks to his home town the better box fighter he is. Sammy Trott of Columbus and Eddie Forrest of Philadelphia, lightweights, fought ten rounds at Columbus to a draw. "Gunboat" Smith struck a snag in George Rodel, the Boer heavyweight, in a ten-round bout at New York, but outstayed his opponent. Soldier Kearns stopped Soldier Denley in the fourth round of their scheduled ten-round go at the Atlantic Garden A. C. in New York. GOLF Goif will be included in the Olympic games by the Germans in 1916. This report has been included but twice before—St. Louis in 1904 and, almost accidentally, at London in 1908. Following his 78 with a card of 73, Walter J. Travis of Garden City won the gold medal in the 36-hole qualification round of the thirteenth annual united north and south amateur golf championship with a card of 151 and a margin of 13 strokes. Changes are to be made in the basket ball rules to make the game clearer for spectators. University of Illinois rooters exulted when Robert W. Hoffman of Chicago was elected captain of the 1914 basketball team. The roof of the Union branch of the Young Men's Christian association of the Bronx, New York city, will be used for an athletic field. Borgstrom of the University of Southern California, set a new world's record for the pole vault at the University of California, clearing the bar at 12 feet 6 1-16 inches. John Paul Jones may wind up his athletic career at Cornell by establishing a new record for the mile run at the annual eastern intercollegiate track and field championships at Cambridge on May 30 and 31. The present record for a mile is 4:15 2-5. In addition to having the world's champion baseball team, Boston this year will hold the intercollegiate track and field championships on May 20 and 31, the national rowing championship on August 8 and 9, and may also witness the international track meet between Harvard and Yale v. Oxford and Cambridge. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1913. CAP and BELLS ANOTHER WORRY FOR MARIA Farmer's Wife Objected to Cuckoo Clock Because She Had All the Birds She Could Feed. That there is a limit to the cares and responsibilities of the housewife was demonstrated by a little story told in an after-dinner speech by Governor Phecher of Vermont. "A middle-aged couple from one of the back counties visited Montpellier one day," said the governor, "and while rambling down the main street looking at the sights their attention was attracted by a cuckoo clock in the show window of a jewelry store. "The clock was striking at the time, and as the cuckoo came out and chirped the hour the rural couple looked on with mingled admiration and wonder. "Well, I declare!" exclaimed the farmer's wife as the cuckoo concluded his announcement and retired within the clock, "never in all my life did I see anything like that." "Ner me, neether, Maria.' responded Hezekiah, still retaining his look of astonishment, 'an sence we need a new clock at home, what do we say if we buy the one?" "We won't do anything of the kind, Hezekiah!" was the emphatic declaration of Maria. "Don't ye spose we got enough clocks, you turkeys, an' other things to look after now without feed in' a pesky bird?"—Philadelphia Telegraph. Voices of the Night "Go to sleep again, Maria. That wasn't a gun—nothing but an auto tire busted!" "John, did you remember to order that ton of coal today? I knew you'd forgotten it! And there isn't more than a bucketful left in the—I won't hush!" "If the next car that comes along doesn't stop, by George, I will smash a window." "Duckle, how about going skating tomorrow even— Say, you, there, Buttinski, get off the line!" "Gosh; It's a motorcycle! I was dreaming there was an earthquake and the house was falling down!" "It's too bad, Henry, but you'll have to walk a while with the baby again." "Me-aow! Me-aow! Spit! Spit!" Marrying Parson's Record Forty pairs for December was the record made by the Rev. Alfred H. Burroughs, "parson" of the Bristol Gretta Green. Referring to this the face of the eighty-year-old minister lit up with a smile when he remarked: "But the record was not satisfactory to Cupid. I am sure, for he brought me seven young pairs on New Year's Day. These young pairs all came from Virginia and West Virginia." Dr. Burroughs has married about 4500 pairs, and although an old man he expects by cherishing a happy disposition to be able to make his record 5000 before yielding to Father Time.—Nashville Banner. A LOOK BEYOND. He—So you'll be mine! I never dreamed there was such happiness in store for me. She—Oh, there's no happiness in store for you. I assure you! "Because they are in different classes." "What do you mean?" "One's father made his money in refined sugar and the other only in crude oil." What Aldrich Missed. "Do you think that we should have a more elastic currency?" asked the Old Fogy. "It is elastic enough," replied the Grouch. "Why don't they make it more adhesive?" Compensations. "Isn't it horrible, this scientific proposition to kill idiots in their infancy?" "All wrong, of course, but then there would be none left to rock boats." Element of Uncertainty. "What is your idea of the tariff?" "Well," replied Senator Sorghum, "the tariff is a good thing to get votes with before one election. But it's mighty liable to make you lose 'am before the next." FOND WIFE WAS PRACTICAL Husband Discovers His Young Bride Has Arranged With Her Mother as to His Allowance. "My dear," murmured the young man, after the usual half-hour of whispering and cuddling, "we must now talk about practical things. It seems a profanation, I know, but it will be well to get some of these things arranged." "Yes, darling," she answered fondly, "I am going to be a practical wife, and I have already thought of ways and means. I have even talked them over with mamma. What do you want to discuss first?" "Well, there's the subject of a certain allowance every week for spending money." "I've thought of that." "I've thought of that: "Oh—er you have?" "Yes—now you mustn't think me mercenary. But I've talked it over with mamma, and she agrees that a certain allowance is right and proper. Now, your salary is $3,000 a year, isn't it?" "Yes, and I want it to go as far as possible toward your happiness." "I know it, precious boy. So I've decided that about $5 a week will be about right." "Why, little girl, that won't be enough. You'll have to have—" "Yes, mamma and I think it will be a plenty, you extravagant thing You'll have your breakfasts and dinners at home, and you don't drink, and you've told me that you only eat light lunches. So $5 a week ought to pay your car fare and give you quite a lot to spend just as you like."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Harold (yawning)—Y-a-a-s, weally, it cost me ten thousand a year just to live, doncher know. Evelyn—How foolish of you to pay it! It isn't worth it! Hemmenhaw handed his best friend a cigar. "Have a smoke," he said. "Sure," said the friend. "There, I'm glad that's off my mind!" "Off your mind?" "Yes; that cigar is the last of a box I will gave me for Christmas, and I will tell you in confidence I have been handing them out all day. You got the last. Ha, ha!" "Well, the laugh is on you." "Oh yes." "Yes; I went with your wife to pick out those cigars, and they were the very best I could find in town." Rapid Descent. At the exhibition of post-impressonist paintings in New York, two Boston men were standing in front of the much-talked-of canvas alleged to represent a figure descending the stairs. "This is the worst yet," cried one. "Look at it! It is simply a tangled mass of streaks and splotches." "I think," said the other after gazing at it a moment. "that the fault of the title, which is not sufficiently explanatory. It should tell us that it is a figure descending the stairs after the careless scrub woman had left a cake of soap on the top step." Drifted Apart "Yes, the engagement is on." "What came between your 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 languished after that." Proving It. "Foreigners are always misplacing prepositions in their speech." "Sure. The one who married my daughter told a friend they were come with their travels to live WITH the old man, when he meant ON the old man." His Character Lady—So your husband is in jail again? Poor Woman—Yes'm. Lady—He does not seem to be a man of stable character. Poor Woman—Well, I don't know as to that, mum. He's a hostler. A. Woman's Question Paying Teller—I cannot cash this check, madam. She—Why not? Paying Teller—There isn't enough money here to meet it. She—Then can't you meet it half-way? Necessary. "Why must you have a steamer trunk? You ain't likely to cross the ocean any time soon." "Maybe not. But I found a label from a French hotel, and I gotta have a trunk to paste it on." Charming. "How does Mary look in her new Balkan suit?" asked Marrionne. "If she only had a beard she'd be the perfect image of the magazine pictures of 'Toilstol in peasant garb,'" answered Mylredde. Some Weight "Cholly complained of having something on his mind." "I know what it is. I saw him strike his head against a lot of cobwebs in the corner." WHY THE FROCKS ARE EXPENSIVE Parisian Gowns Cost Much Money to Acquire. American women sometimes pause in their feverish search for the raiment wherewithal they shall be clothed to wonder feebly why the cost of raiment—to them, at least—should be so high. They reflect that the retailer's rent is probably mountainous and that he has a large assortment of other expenses. But they still feel that "it is to wonder." There is one factor affecting the cost of their apparel about which most women have a very vague idea. That is the expense of pursuing fashion to its European hair and capturing it for their benefit. A single New York department store sent 50 buyers to Europe this winter to obtain models and materials. All these people command good salaries, and all have a liberal expense account. When one takes into consideration the original cost of the things they bring over, and adds to that the duties contributed to Unee Sam, one gets a total which helps to explain the prices which later confront us. Paris is getting richer every day, thanks to the American woman. Callot did a business of about $2,600,000 last year. No wonder that Callot Sourens issue "decreees!" No wonder, either, that the French model houses are up in arms against the pirating of their designs. The whole business of bagging the fashions at Paris is in quite a mess just now. But the American woman won't much care what comes of it if only the strain of buying for—her necessary clothes may be caused a trifle. One is inclined to be hopeless, though. Prices seem to be among those things that "won't come off." All Kinds of Vesta. In the meantime, since clothes we must have, no matter what the cost, we may as well continue to study the many tempting specimens with which we are daily being enticed. The subject of waistcoats, vests, and vestees demands more than mere casual mention. Almost every description of coat or waist has something which, if it isn't an out-and-out vest, is a hint, more or less pronounced, of that particular feature. The genuine waistcoats o deserve to be received with favor. Some years ago the waistcoat was so in fashion that a "three-piece suit" meant a coat, waistcoat and skirt. Now it means either a coat, waist and skirt, or a one-piece dress and a coat. The latter is a genuine example of that rare mathematical occurrence where one and one make three, for this combination of a dress and a coat is called a "three-piece costume." Most of the waistcoats are merely stimulated ones. That is to say, they are not a separate garment, but are merely frontals, or even fragments of fronds, attached to the coat itself. The genuine separate waistcoat, however, is a feature of many imported models and deserves especial attention. It is both practical and attractive. Practical because it gives additional warmth of early spring, and also because, when left off entirely, it makes the same suit possible for warm days and the later season. What One Woman Will Wear. A woman who is always noticeably well dressed (and on a limited income, too, said the other day that she was planning for her suit a tall-tored frock of blue Bedford cord, with a very slightly draped skirt and a hiplength coat, fastening high on the bust. From this closing the coat is cut away, but in a long, comparatively straight line, so that it does not give the "barn door" effect. She intends to have several waist-coats to wear with this suit. A charming variety of them is to be had ready made at the best shops. But one may prefer to choose one's own materials and to have them made to order by the tailor. They may be plain or printed silks, flowered cotton fabrics, brocaded crepes or poplins, piques—in fact, the choice of materials is so fascinating that one would like to have a dozen of these waistcoats at the very least. They are made either of single or double breasted, and in most cases end in two points below the waist line, just as in man's evening dress. When the coat is fastened at the bust these vests show below it. Often, indeed, they are visible both above and below the closing. And when the coat is unfastened not only is the effect pleasing, but the coat itself sets better than it does over just a soft blouse. In Paris they are wearing sleeved waistcoats, so that the outer jacket can be removed, which is scarcely possible when the vest is made like a man's. While this garment is called a waistcoat, and, when the actual coat is on, really appears to be only that; it is more like an under jacket. An imported model was in that delicious fabric, silk Bedford cord. The color was "flame," the wonderful red with just a hint of yellow. There is a decided tendency to bore Bug Selling Up to Date The Possible Customer—You claim this is a genuine Turkish rug, do you? The Wily Dealer—Eet ees true, madam. Zee rug is very genuine Turkish.

What you call ze stain ees powder row certain masculine details of dress this spring; but there are always features capable of being successfully feminized. For instance, some of the best tailored models repeat almost exactly the main lines of the regulation masculine evening coat; the straight cut across the front and the "tails" in the back. The model is extremely becoming to slender frames, and, moreover, is quite in accord with the general trend of the season's fashions. Military designs are borrowed, too. Sometimes they are only remotely suggested, as in the Stambouli suit, as some of the tailors are calling the black tailored frock with trimmings of red cloth and braiding in the style of a Turkish infantry soldier's uniform. Imitation of the Balkan suit embroidered which ornaments the short jackets of the Montenegrins is more frank and also more becoming to women wearers. At the Ateuil race recently several women wore costumes which suggested the uniforms of officers in such regiments as the hussars, the dragoons and the chasseurs. But, becoming as they are, the psychological which makes them appeal to French women is absent here in America. And psychology plays a surprisingly important part in fashions. However, by next winter these undeniably becoming and charming military coats, with their borders of astracan or other fur, may play a considerable role even over here. Drape Skirt at Ankles. Skirts continue to be narrow at the ankles, but one can retain this effect and still have comparative ease in walking. This is done by draping the skirt, so as to give fulness at the knees, and then introducing foot pleats at the hem. But the independence of American women is indicated by the fact that every tailor is making a fair proportion of skirts that are practically without drapery and MISS MAYBROOK Stunning Street Costume. A street costume showing Russian tendency. The skirt is of black charmeuse, slightly draped. The Russian tunic is of black silk, embroidered with gold and trimmed with lace. are of moderate width. The idea that in order to walk easily one must have a very wide skirt is exploded anyway. Such skirts have a disagreeable habit of wrapping themselves around the knees and ankles, sometimes actually bringing the wearer to a standstill. A skirt two yards in width allows a step of average length and does not have superfluous material in which to become entangled. If one wants more room it may be comforting to remember that groups of side pleats are introduced in many of the Paris models. American women, however, though admit that these pleats give ease in walking, do not seem inclined to accept them this season, except for short chiffon skirts. These are generally made of solid side pleating, with a very narrow underskirt; so narrow, in fact, that it is absolutely necessary to have it slashed. Blouses of Chiffon or Crepe. Long Russian blouses of chiffon or crepe are being shown with many models. These, too, are generally side pleated, either entirely so or simply below the girdle. A variation of this style seen at a Fifth avenue importer's, was an afternoon gown of deep shrimp pink crepe de chine. Instead of being side pleated, the long Russian blouse, or tunic, was laid in box pleats about an inch in width. These were merely pressed, not stitched. In place of the belt or narrow girdle there was a Cheruit sash of the same material as the dress. This was wound around the loosely knotted, a little at one side, about half-way to the knees. Some of the pleated chiffon skirts have a contrasting band of silk around the bottom. One in dark blue, for instance, has a ten-inch band of Scotch plaid at the hem. With this skirt a coattee or a Russian blouse of the plaid plaid would be worn. burn, and all ze holes are bullet holes! Vary genuine Turkey rug, direct from ze seat of war. Only $90, madam.

"I was told the other day that when Dickens had an interview with the Queen, she kept him standing all the time, and although kind enough in her manner, treated him de haut en bas, not even offering to shake hands with him when he took his departure. With Carlyle the case was somewhat different. The old Scotsmans calmly took the initiative. Having greeted the Queen with due respect on her entry, he observed confidentially: 'And noo, your majesty, I would remind you that I am a vera old man, and so I will tak' a chair!' and down he sat without any permission on her part. He then, with equal freedom, proceeded to criticise her ministry, and gave her much unsolicited advice, which, nevertheless, showed a foresight she might have made use of. The Queen, however, was much afronted at his freedom of speech, and after the interview declared that she would see no more literary men!"—The Letter-bag of Lady Elizabeth Spencer-Stanhope, by A. M.
