CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1913. TEDDY CLAIMS HE WAS NEVER DRUNK Never Drank Cocktail or Highball in His Life. NO WINE ON PRIVATE TABLE Roosevelt Declares on Witness Stand in Libel Suit That, While Not By Richard Henry Little. Marquette, Mich.—Theodore Roosevelt, twice president of the United States, took the witness stand in the county court of Marquette county, Mich. Tuesday and defended himself under oath against allegations of drunkenness. Nearly Total Abstainer Col. Roosevelt said with great earnestness that he never drank a highball or a cocktail in his life! that he had never been under the influence of liquor to the slightest degree and that, he was not a total abstainer, he was very nearly one. In 15 years, he declared, he had consumed less than a dozen drinks of whiskey and then usually under a doctor's order, the whiskey being measured in a graduated glass. He never took two drinks of whiskey in the same day and, while at state banquets he sometimes took a single glass of champagne in obedience to custom, he never had wine on his private table. On two occasions the colonel drank mint juleps away from Washington, once in St. Louis and again in Little Rock, Ark. Col. Roosevelt's direct examination lasted from 9:30 a.m. until almost 11, when a recess was taken. After the recess the cross-examination of Col. Roosevelt by Attorney Horace A. Andrews of Cleveland began and was disappointing to the audience in the court room, inasmuch as it produced no fireworks. Col. Roosevelt not only held his own but seized every opportunity of saying things that strengthened his direct examination and undoubtedly produced as good effect on the jury as it seemed to do on the people in the court room. The cross-examination lasted but 20 minutes. The other witnesses examined during the day were men of national prominence, who have been intimates with Col. Roosevelt for years and who testified they had never seen him under the influence of liquor and that he only drank champagne at state banquets, while wine to the extent of one glass at formal dinners and no alcoholics of any kind at his own table. These witnesses were Jacob Rils of New York, prominent as a sociologist and reformer; Dr. Alexander Lambert, a famous authority on alcoholic diseases and physician to the Roosevelt family; Dr. P. M. Rixey, surgeon general of the United States navy, retired, and personal physician to Col. Roosevelt while the latter was president, and H. Gilson Gardner, a Washington newspaperman, who has accompanied Mr. Roosevelt on almost all of his campaign trips. The witnesses agreed in the main, but Jacob Rils, who in common with the other witnesses were excluded from the court room while Col. Roosevelt was on the stand, stoutly insisted that he knew absolutely that Col. Roosevelt never tasted whiskey or brandy and that he would not believe any man who said that he did. Little Comfort for Defense. The cross-examinations of the witnesses failed to bring out much of comfort to the defense. When Mr. Gardner was on the stand, Attorney Andrews asked: "Were you at the dinner at the Arlington hotel in Washington given to Joe Cannon at which Col. Roosevelt, then president of the United States, was present?" "I attended a dinner to Mr. Cannon," testified Mr. Gardner, "but it was at the New Willard. There was a reception to Speaker Cannon at the Arlington but I didn't go." "But you heard, Mr. Gardner," insisted Mr. Andrews, "it talked around Washington that the party at the Arlington was quite gay and that Col. Roosevelt drank a great deal there?" "I never heard any such thing," declared Mr. Gardner. Col. Pound, the chief counsel for the defense, began the morning session of court with an opening statement which was punctuated at the end of almost every sentence by objections from the defense, who maintained that counsel was making a campaign speech instead of a statement. Attorney Pound began with Col. Roosevelt at the cradle and described his life up to the moment when he had come to man's estate and spread about his shoulders the "toga virilis as did the noble youth of ancient Rome." The three attorneys for the defense ROBS WOMAN'S STOCKING BANK Thief Holds Domestic's Head Under Soapsups While He Slits Hose and Takes Wad of Bills.

"I have never drunk a cocktail or a highball." "I had a large supply of drinks of all kinds in the White House, yes sir. I inherited the stock from President McKinney. Objected to and stricken from the record.) "I don't smoke or use tobacco in any form." "I may have drunk half a dozen mint juleps in a year at the White House. There was a fine mint bed there when I was a little girl. I have never drunk whiskey or brandy except when the doctors ordered it during sickness or when I had been under a great physical and nervous strain." "My whiskey drinking is practically like tasting teaspoonful I took under the doctor's order when I had the fever in Africa and one teaspoonful of brandy to a glass of milk, which I sometimes took before going to bed when on my cough medication." "I don't drink beer and I don't drink red wine." "I have no idea of how many bottles there are in a case of champagne." there are in a case of champagne." "I never went into a barroom in the west except when the barroom was also used as a dining room." objected so vehemently at this that it sounded as though they were giving a college yell. Mr. Andrews, trembling with emotion, arose and objected again, but Attorney Pound stood firm for the "toga virilis" of the ancient Romans and would not recede, while the worthy teamsters and farmers on the jury leaned back and signified that "toga virilis" frightened them not at all. Then Col. Roosevelt took the stand while the court room fairly quivered with suppressed excitement. The colonel answered the questions firmly and clearly and seemed to help his lawyer a good deal. He was an ideal witness. On the cross-examination the colonel flushed. "Attorney Andrews roused his ire and the colonel hissed his replies through his clenched teeth. Col. Roosevelt told the story of his life and his counsel, in spite of objections, asked many questions that made the colonel tell about the various high public offices he had held, his Cuban campaign, the books he had written, his life in the west and the attempt to assassinate him at Milwaukee. Col. Roosevelt told the routine of the life he lived when in the White House. In answer to cross question, he said it was his understanding that whiskey or brandy was the basic principle of a mint julep. Teddy Cross-Examined. The cross-examination of Col. Roosevelt by Attorney Andrews brought out the following: Q.-Now, your acquaintance while you were in the city of Washington, and possibly at Albany, was with political men. A.-Not many were political men. A great many were writers of history and naturalists. Q.-You have many friends in congress, have you not? A.-I have known almost every senator. Q.-Did I understand you to say you have never taken anything in the way of intoxicating liquors? A.-You did not so understand me; you understood me to say that I did so only in small quantities. Q.-You have never, for 15 years, taken more than a dozen glasses of whiskey? A.-I did not drink a dozen glasses of whiskey in 15 years. Q.-Now, the wine you drink is light wine? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-What do you mean by light wine? A.-I mean white wines, and sometimes, it may be, a little Madeira. Q.-Any other kind of wine? A.-I may have drunk a little red wine and occasionally a little sherry. Q.-Do you keep wine of any kind in your house? A.-Yes. Q.-Did you keep brandy and wine in the White House?

Government Medical Men Hear That 111 Out of 112 Children in Orphanage Are Declared to Have Been Absolutely Cured. Washington, D. C. — Government medical experts are all but convinced that in Dr. Karl Von Ruck's anti-aberculosis serum, which cured Senator Kern, they have at last found not only a real cure for consumption but also a vaccine which will immunize humanity against the most dreaded of diseases. This remarkable claim is made by Dr. Ruck after many years' patient experimentation upon lower animals and human patients in his sanitarium at Asheville, N. C. It is substantiated, government experts seem to think, by recent experiments upon tuberculosis and non-tuberculous children to the number of 392 by Dr. C. A. Julian of Thomasville, N. C. Dr. Julian is medical head of the Baptist Orphanage of that place and, after collaborating with Dr. Ruck in the latter's laboratory, experimented independently with the Ruck serum on the orphans under his care. One hundred and eleven out of 112 children are declared to have been absolutely cured. In the only case in which there was a failure it is explained there were complications to account for it. Seven cases were in advanced stages where the destruction of lung tissues were found. All of the 112 were lung consumptives. Blood tests after and before vaccination showed, it is claimed, that the non-tuberculous patients were effectually immunized. The vaccine, which it is claimed that at once cures and immunizes, is described as a product of ordinary tuberculace bacilli of human origin. The serum is said to be non-virulent. It contains the several constituents of the tuberculous germs in humans in such proportions as have been found by Dr. Ruck through study and experiment to produce the highest attainable degree of immunity. The proportions of these ingredients, it is said, form the basis of Dr. Ruck's only claim to originality so far as the formula of his remedy is concerned. Dr. Ruck has devoted many years in an effort to perfect what he calls his blood serum as a preventive against tuberculosis. Through experiments upon lower animals, it is said, he has demonstrated that his serum will destroy any related bacteria that may afterward be encountered in the blood. Thus it operates both as a preventive and cure, it is claimed. It is further claimed that the immunity can be demonstrated by certain blood tests. Surg. Gen. Stokes and Dr. Edward R. Slitt, medical inspector of the navy, who were sent to Asheville by Secretary Daniels to investigate the remedy, both stated that the results shown by Dr. Ruck and Dr. Julian alone seem to thoroughly justify their claims. Confesses Slaying Wife. New York City—Ten hours after the police had dropped the investigation of the death of Mrs. Elsa Stoger, 19, who was found dead in her home, calling it a case of suicide, Henri Stoger, the woman's husband surrendered himself, saying he had killed her. The husband said he shot his wife when he returned home to lunch after a quarrel over a confession by the wife of her relations with a young German farmer while she was coming to this country six weeks ago to marry Stoger. ROBERT CROSSER Confesses Slaying Wife TE SINGLE CO AFRO-AMERICA Consolidation works wonders in development, if all parties concerned are sufficiently in earnest to appreciate its importance. All things, however small the beginning, attain a stage of magnitude when the forces, backing them, have in view a definite purpose; and, although obstacles apparently insurmountable may confront advancement, they disappear in the face of a solid stand. Determination relieves the pressure of obstruction and lightens the weight of burdens. The obligations, resting upon the shoulders of each individual, become easier to perform when we labor in a spirit of union. It is only when our divided ranks are assailed, that we feel the damage most. Defeat does not discourage efforts in the pursuit of honorable ends. We often invite the inconveniences by which our walks, are hindered, because we are too prone to surrender to despair. Nothing reaches great proportions without the trouble of cultivation; and whatever attracts the attention or wins the consideration of mankind has won it through pains and perils. There is no royal road to the attainment of success, either by races or by nations; and the monuments of greatness which commemorate the deeds of a people were planted by the toils and privations of those whose names are revered by posterity. The grandeur of the past serves to kindle aspiration in things of the present age; and the remarkable achievements of earlier days have ever set a worthy example for succeeding generations to imitate. But, the mighty deeds which have merited the aplause of ages, were not the accomplishments of single actions, but, the results of a bond of union upon which all progress leans. The stability of governments, the prosperity of nations, the maintenance of authority are all due to a concert of actions by which conduct is regulated and personal rights secured. The world, as it grows in age, increases in fame; but, its conquest is the outcome of what men accomplish in numbers. Since cere devotion to the needs of the hour renders activity in human ranks and the awakening of dormant energy is the kindling of ambition. Protection against encroachment follows in the wake of union, and baffles the fulfillment of base designs. The aims of availance are checkmated when fitted against its strength; and is sufficiently able to guarantee its safety in times of tribulations. In our worldly combat, the strong dominate the weak. Greed is ever insistent, when conscious of its might; and if arrayed against that which is powerless to withstand its demands, is arrogant to the extreme. All classes of men, irrespective of racial connection, seek to prey upon helpless conditions, and are more active in the game of spoliation than the process of elevation; hence the necessity, duty and wisdom of action in a common cause for the promotion of a common end. Experience is the sternest of teachers; and whatever is gained thereby remains stamped indelibly upon the memory, nor is time able to erase its effects. There is ever an advantage to be gained by those who walk together in brotherhood, to rise above the common level. They prove true warriors in our daily strifes. By intelligence, industry, and integrity you may become worthy of the best that the world has to give, and then you will be as great in a hut as in a palace.—The Torch Light. There have been a great many negroes in the past 50 years who neglected to protect their rights in their inventions, and have died poor and unknown. The story is often told of one such New Yorker who invented many of the earlier railroad car appliances while employed by a certain railroad, but, failing to protect any of them, was defrauded of his rights and died in poverty. Such negro inventions should be careful to patent their work. It is not possible to estimate their value until the demand for them has been measured. Some of the simplest inventions like the bread-saving knife and the hook and eyes for dresses, have been the most useful and profitable.—New York Age. The Ninth Cavalry did the work in demonstrating to the world, and especially the United States, that the negro will do the same thing over again for the dear old U. S. A., if the eagle screams and the bugle calls.—The Weekly Reporter. The German standard of light measurement is nine-tenths that of the international candlepower.

An artificial leather for electricians' gloves that resist dangerous currents almost as well as rubber has been invented. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS PY FIVE CENTS MAN CULLINGS HOT-BED MANAGEMENT. The hot-bed is a valuable assistant to the gardener and a thorough knowledge of the same leads to success. My method after the first year is to clean out each spring and mix thoroughly the soil and old manure from the beds and return it upon new, fresh manure, adding new soil as needed. After the beds become heated up and the temperature drops to 90 degrees, the seed is sown in drills four inches apart and covered according to the kind of seed used. Insert a thermometer into the soil at the beginning and hold the heat around 60 to 70 degrees by opening or closing the sash as necessary. In early spring, old strips of carpeting laid over the sash at night keep the frost away, and help to hold the temperature even. When the plants begin to show the third leaf, remove to boxes three inches deep, holding the same kind of soil as that in the bed. This soil is tamped down smooth and solid. Then use a small stick like a lead pencil to make the holes for the plants, making them at least two inches apart. Drop the plants in, firm the soil and then water well and return to hot-bed box and all and proceed in the care of them as though you had not disturbed them at all. When they get to be four inches high, proceed to harden them off by removing the sash during the day, but return it at night until the nights become warm. This hardening process is very essential before setting into open ground. In transplanting always use care not to injure the roots, and a very important thing to do it to firm the soil about the plant. When setting into open ground, do so on a showery day or at evening, and success is almost sure—U. G. Patten. PASTURING STOCK. The trampling of very wet ground by stock causes the soil to "poach" and puddle, and if it dries out in this condition the soil becomes backed and very hard, and in such a condition that it is almost impossible to pulverize it by any method of tillage. If ground in such a condition is plowed, either wet or dry, it is apt to remain in a bad physical condition for a long time, even for several years. If the surface is left exposed to freezing and thawing, the poached or puddled condition of the soil will be largely corrected. If this land is in greas, about the best you can do with it is to run over the field with a harrow or disk during the winter when there is an open period, or cultivate it early in the spring. If the land is unplowed, I would advise not to plow it until after the freezing and thawing; then it would be a good plan to disk its previous to plowing. If this ground which has been tramped with stock while very wet is handled properly, as suggested above, the tramping may not result in seriously reducing the yield of crop another season. There will be some injury to the soil, however, and there is danger of neglect or improper handling, which may result in very materially injuring the land for future cropping. The safer plan is to keep the stock off the fields or pasture whenever the soil is so wet it will poach or puddle when the animals step on it.-Prof. A. M. Ten Eyck in Kansas Farmer. MOLE AN INSECT DESTROYER The Illinois authorities recently made an examination of the stomachs of moles. It was found that half or more of the food of the mole consists of insects and their larvae, most of them noxious. So far as its food is concerned, the mole is thus beneficial on the whole. There is no direct evidence that it will eat potatoes or other tubers, but circumstantial evidence admitting that mice of herbiforous habit may occupy mole runs in fall. It was shown that corn may form an important item of the food of moles; that recently planted corn is sometimes destroyed by them, and that if numerous in corn fields in spring, they are capable of doing considerable damage there.

Gazette is altogether right when it says that we "side-stepped" in commenting upon its criticism of Dr. DuBois' conduct of the N. A. A. C. P. We did this because we were forced so to do. The questions asked could only be answered from the headquarters in New York or by the distinguished leader himself and we would have been no match for our distinguished contemporary in a contest of this kind. The Planet's editor may not have indicated that it saw the point but he nevertheless said he would same. We thought then and believe that suggestions submitted were intended for DuBois and New York and not Mitchell and Richmond. Our esteemed contemporary has confirmed our conclusious—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Again the Planet is "side-stepping." While certain questions might be passed over for the reason our contemporary gives, there is nothing to prevent his giving his opinion as to the wisdom of The Gazette's suggestion that DuBois and the N. A. A. C. P. pay some attention to the two great, big problems—disfranchisement and "jimcrow" railroad cars — that concern ALL of our people, as well as important cases involving practically individuals only. The two big problems are: Distranchisement laws, especially those based on the "grandfather clause"; and "jimcrow" car laws, at least as far as they affect inter-state passengers. Come now, Editor Mitchell, what say you as to this? Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, is "away off" in his guess, when he says that he "estimates that sixty per cent of the effective Colored votes went to the Progressives and the remaining forty per cent was about equally divided between the republican and democratic rivals." Theodore "Brownsville" Roosevelt's color-line Progressive party did not poll six per cent of "the effective Colored votes," and as for the democratic party's polling as many as the republican party at last fall's election, that is simply ridiculous and the professor nows it. His long residence in the District of Columbia, where they have no vote at elections, has evidently had a very peculiar effect on his estimate of things political. Wake up, professor! You are surely dreaming. THE GREATEST NEED The Republican national executive committee having cheerfully agreed to the reforms in the party management demanded by the Progressives, and there being no radical differences between Republicans and Progressives on the issues Democracy is forcing upon the country, united action seems assured. The committee met, Saturday, in Washington, D. C., overrode opposition, and accepted without amendment the plan of the Progressives, for a reorganization of the Republican party. Formal action will be taken at a meeting of the full national committee to be held within sixty days after the adjournment of the extra session of Congress. In brief, this is the reorganization plan which will be considered by the committee: A change in the basis of representation in future conventions, so that each state will send a number of delegates in proportion to its Republican votes. A revision of the party's convention rules to bring them in accord with the primary laws of the several states. A rule that each new national committee shall assume power before and not after each national convention. Former Representative William B. McKinley of Illinois, chairman of the congressional committee and the leader of the Taft forces in the 1912 spring fighting, gave out the following statement: "I consider the readjustment of representation from the solid Democratic south in the Republican national convention a matter of the greatest importance to the future of the party. Republicans generally favor the change. "The righteousness for the demand of basing representation in a national convention upon the vote cast for the party is shown by the fact that seven southern states which cast 140,000 Republican votes had the same power in northern states which cast a million Republican votes. "There is a feeling throughout the West against the present system, but there is also a belief, in which I share, that the Constitution we should also take stets toward an absolute enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. "The platforms of the Republican party since the Civil war have always declared that these amendments should be obeyed, but somehow or other we have never taken positive action toward securing their enforcement." In a lengthy and singularly strong open letter to the New Hampshire member of the Republican national committee, Ex-U. S. Senator Wm. E. Chandler of that state, a life-long friend of the race and a Republican leader also for many years, calls upon the committee and Republicans generally to stand firm for a general enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U. S. Constitution, and start anew right. He tells them in plain words that only on such a platform can the reorganized Republican party hope to succeed, and he is right. This is the one thing, above all others, the Progressives and Republicans need to have thoroughly impressed upon them, and should heed, if the united party is ever again to become the party of the people and champion of citizens' rights, particularly the privilege of voting. It is the merest nonsense to expect success in any other line of party action to the exclusion or overshadowing of this. Here party platform declarations have proven a waste of time and words, long enough, and have not and will not satisfy. It is clear, now, that the people were not fooled by them; nor can they be. The party must again become aggressive along this line—standing and fighting for citizens' rights and privileges—as when, as a result of DOING this very thing rather than simply promulgating empty platform utterances, it became the most powerful and the commanding factor in the conduct and control of this government and country. This only will recall and secure to the grand old Republican party the loyal support of the great mass of voters, and enable it to regain its once great prestige and power. Ex-Congressman McKinley and Ex-Senator Chandler are right when they insist on the reorganized party's working aggressively for the enforcement in all sections of the country of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U. S. Constitution, and are to be thanked for their recent public utterances to that effect. AGAINST RACIAL CARICATURES. I wish, as a representative of the Colored race, to voice our protest, also in conjunction with the Jews and Irish, against the unjust, untrue and humiliating caricatures being produced upon the American stage. We say with them that a fair joke and 'takeoff' is possible, but it is hard for our respective races to see our peculiarities and idiosyncrasies distorted out of all reason. Of course we, the Colored people, have to go it alone, as we are not asked or invited to join in a general meeting of protest. We are soon to call a meet, and we will be invited to O'Saughnessy will be invited and hope they will join in a general protest.—MRS. HANNAH J. MEENES —Chicago go Daily News. EGYPT'S DEBT TO WORMS Their Digging Through Thousands of Years Is What Makes Fertility of the Valley of the White Nile. The fertility of the valley of the White Nile is renowned. British scientific surveyors report that its remarkable productiveness is due in large part to the diligence of earth worms, which have been digging it for thousands of years. Observations are recorded showing that during the active six months of each year the castings of the worms brought to the surface there amount to about 240-pounds an acre. Spread out evenly this would make an appreciable annual layer. Darwin estimated that the castings of five years in England would cover the whole kingdom with a layer of new earth an inch thick. In the Nile valley the layer would doubtless be thicker were the worms equally numerous and busy, as apears to be the case, because the proportion of non-arable land there is much less than in the British isles. It must be remembered, also, that, in addition to the beneficial service of stirring up the soil, admitting air and water more easily, and bringing deep deposits to the surface, there is a constant fertilization effected by the vegetable matter dragged into their burrows by the worms, much of which is left to decay where it will do the most good.—Harper's Weekly. Razors and Daggers in Parliament. An odd incident took place in the British House of Lords the other day when an action in regard to safety razors having been brought before the house, one of the judges who is noted for his knowledge of mechanics, made a demonstration of the principles on which the safety razor works, to his brother peers. According to one authority, "object lessons," as teachers would call them, have been unknown in the upper chamber, but they have not been without precedent in the commons. The most famous was the production of a dagger by Edmund Burke, during a speech denouncing the French revolution; but in more recent times Sir Carne Rash exhibited a pea-bug in the house, Sir Howard Vincent a brush "made in German," Mr. Swift MacNell, a batteringram used in Irish evictions, Dr. Tanner, a policeman's truncheon, and Mr. Sexton a steel nut used in the Belfast riots. Set a Splendid Example. Frederick, Md.-Afro-Americans on this town have demonstrated what the thousands of disfranchised members of the race in other southern states, can do in securing just recognition at the polls as provided by the U. S. constitution if an aggressive and concerted fight was properly made. Recently they attacked the election law which prescribed against their voting in the state, and decided in their favor, holding the law to be invalid and unconstitutional. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.

Of all the mistresses of the White House, none have gone as far, in showing their hatred for the Colored people as Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, has, in having, so it is reported, an order issued in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington, D. C., where she happened to see Colored and white persons, who have for years worked and ate in peace together, separated. Why was it done? How could such a thing hurt her or any one else? Because the Negroes ate their white food, while the white eating business is one of the biggest fool hobbies in the world—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. The Negro State College, located at Orangeburg, has closed its school year—and a successful year, from every point of view it has been. The faculty has proved itself to be efficient; the student body well disciplined; and work, study and order have in no way been leglected. Press, R. S. Wilkinson has proven himself to be a leader in the institution needed. Mrs. Wilkinson has plainly shown herself to be the kind of wife that the president of that kind of an institution ought to have—Columbia (S. C.) Pleoughman. Mr. Cohen, an Afro-American, of Cambridge, Mass., was appointed by the mayor of that city on the commission to revise the charter. Mr. Cohen pays taxes on real property approaching in value $300,000. He does not hesitate to show the world what he is doing, and the pain a representative of the race. His example is a splendid one for our people to follow. "On the Japanese question, California is divided. San Francisco realizes the injustice, as well as the business loss involved. The better class of Colored people understand the principles of the Japanese question to be one directly affecting their own incomes. The women who resents the Japanese as a competitor, the same as the white work man resents him. Educated people of all races recognize that the color line is artificial, unnatural and of such nature as to retard the progress of the world. It is ignorance with which we have to deal with the Japanese. Colored man uplifts the rest of the world."—Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, traveling in the west. At a big meeting of Japanese held last week at Tokio, Japan, in which students played a prominent part, speeches were made denouncing the existence of color prejudice in the United States and the lyrics of Nessun dapo were universally condemned. All the speakers agreed that the time had arrived when the Japanese must be given equal treatment with other people, and the aggressions of the whites in the world against the Colored races were condemned. "God made the white and the Colored people the same," we shall fail to carry out God's wishes," declared Prof. Nagal of Wausaedu University. CHINESE MAKE GOOD COOKS Kettle Is the Favorite Utensil With the Orientals, Both at Home and Abroad. Families having Chinese cooks are glad to acknowledge that, in most instances, they make splendid servants and excellent cooks. Yet the Chinese, in his native country, is unacquainted with the American means of cooking. No stoves or kitchen ranges are manufactured in the great Tientsin district of China, says a consular report. Stoves are in use, of course, but they are by no means the ranges to which we are accustomed. The Chinese, however, are beginning to manufacture small cooking stoves patterned after imported models. The stores at Tientsin carry a line of German and American stoves. The Chinese use very primitive cooking apparatus. The little open air eating houses found everywhere along the streets of the native city, and along the wharves, have the simplest kind of furnace supporting a kettle. Chinese cooking is either stewing or boiling, and this kettle answers all purposes. In the Chinese houses a very thin cast iron kettle is placed over the fire, and everything which the family eats is cooked therein. The kettle method of cooking has been introduced in California by the coolie ranch "hands." The "rookeries" to be found on every large ranch contain simple kitchen apparatus, even where stoves are installed. For the most part the native kettle is the favorite utensil. Hardly What He Wanted. He approached the clerk in a pawn shop and, looking all about him, inquired: "Keep telescopes here?" "Yes, sir," replied the clerk, "want to see some?" The man nodded and the salesman soon returned with a spyglass. "Here's the best one we have in the place." The stranger looked at the glass in disguise a moment and then he blurted: "That's a fine thing to put clothes in, isn't it? Do you take me for a burlesque actress?" She's a Bear. Emily (at prom)—"I wonder if Phil expects me to dance the turkey trot with him?" Dorritt—"I don't see why. I heard him call you a bear a minute ago."—"Wisconsin Sphinx.

PREPARED PLAYS WITH CARE Memoirs Show Sardou to Have Been One of the Most Paintaking of Writers for the Stage. "More than once in his letter and pamphlets Sardou has described his methods of work," says Jerome A. Hart in his "Sardou and the Sardou Plays." "Whenever an idea occurred to him he immediately made a memorandum of it. These notes he classified and filed. For example, years before the production of 'Thermidor' he had the thought of one day writing such a play. Gradually the character of Fabienne shaped itself; Labussiere was devised later to fit Coquelin. Everything that he read about that epoch of the French revolution, and the ideas which this reading inspired, he wrote down in the form of rough notes. Engravings, maps, prints and other documents of the time he carefully collected. "Memos and histories he annotated and indexed, filing away the index references in his file cases or dossiers. At the time of his death Sardou had many hundreds of these dossiers, old and new. Some of the older ones had been worked up into plays, while the newer ones were merely raw material for future dramas. When the idea of a play had measurably shaped itself in his mind he wrote out a skeleton plot, which he placed in its dossier. There it might lie indefinitely. In this shape 'Thermidor' remained for nearly twenty years, and 'Theodora' for ten. "When he considered that the time was ripe for one of his embryonic plays Sardou would take out that particular dossier, read over the material, and lay it aside again. After it had fermented in his brain for a time he would, if the inspiration set him, write out a scenario. After this he began the actual writing of the play." MOST RAPID GROWER KNOWN Has Been Proved That Turnip Seed Gains Fifteen Times Its Own Weight in One Minute. It has been said that the seed of the globe turnip when growing increases its own weight 15 times within a minute. The seed of this turnip is exceedingly minute, being not larger than the twentieth part of an inch in diameter, and yet in the course of a few months the seed will be developed by the soil into 27,000,000 times the bulk of the original, and this in addition to a considerable bunch of leaves. On peat ground turnipps have been found to increase by growth 15,990 times the weight of their seed each day they stood. The fungi offer an instance of remarkably rapid growth. The great puff ball will attain the size of a pumpkin in a single time, and Lindley calculated that the cells wereof it is composed will multiply at the rate of 60,000,000 a minute. Many seeds germinate in a very short period—the cress in two days; spinach, turnips and kidney beans in three days; lettuce in four; melons and gourds in five; most of the grain seed in a week; hysop at the end of a month. But others remain for a very long period without showing signs of germination. Lucky Enough. A city woman who recently passed a few days at a farm bought some poultry from the farmer with a view to providing fresh eggs for breakfast every morning. She sent them to town by messenger, at the same time dispatching a note to her husband, telling him to look out for the consignment. Her husband, on reaching his home that night, asked if the poultry had arrived. He was informed that it had, but, explained the servant, he had carelessly left the basement door open and all the chickens had escaped. A fowl hunt was immediately organized. The next day the husband, meeting his wife on her return, exclaimed: "A nice time I had with your poultry. I spent three hours hunting and only found ten." "You may consider yourself lucky, then," replied his wife, "for I bought only six."—Harper's Weekly. Political Opinions. "As a rule the son of 20 years today holds political opinions a little in advance of those of his father. At 30 he generally adopts the politics of his grandfather, and at 40 the politics of his great-grandfather. At 50 he has nothing that can be called politics, but merely a set of prejudices of no use to anybody." Thus Bernard Shaw is an admirable example of confusion of thought. What are prejudices? Opinions for which there is no warrant in reality. It is, of course, commonly observed that the opinions of 20 are formed upon a wide and deep knowledge of human nature. Men of 50 are recognized by all the younger generation to lack that altogether. Gentle Hint Doctor Johnson to the contrary notwithstanding, puns are occasionally excusable. This one, attributed by the Brooklyn Times to a boarding-house keeper of that city, is good enough to pass muster. One of the young men who lived in the boarding-house had the double fault of slowness in paying his bill and business about the table service. One morning he said peevishly to the landlady: "Mrs. Jones, will you tell me why my napkin is so damp?" "Yes, Mr. Wicks," replied the landlady, promptly. "It's because there is so much due on your board!" REPAIRING. CLEANING PRESSING DYEING. TEL DALE CAPE MAY, N.

The crowds attending the Ogden theater, nightly and on Sundays, is the best sort of testimonial to the splendid management of the place and its exceptionally good vaudeville, pictures and music.

It takes the fairest of the young, and touches each of them with change and loss. The skin, once so soft that even the lover was half fearful in touching it, stiffens its texture, and the transparent vell, through which soft lights and tender colors played, hides impenetrable those hoverings and vanishings of mood. The auduations of the cheek drop with care. All the gracious perfection is reduced.—Collier's Weekly. Childish Constancy If only we realized it, if only we cultivated it more, we could see with clear-eyed vision that all of a child's original nature breathes constancy. It is an essential strength of the undefiled child's nature to be constant. Not until our own false examples have attacked the natural purity of the child does it become inconstant—unreliable.—Harriet Beecher Stowe. PURCHASE THE "GAZETTE" AT Age. Mrs. Clara J.

Live Longer Nowadays. Life insurance folk say, says the New York Telegraph, that the expectation of life nowadays is well above seventy, and that persons nowadays are supposed to live at least until they are eighty, and if they reach that age should last until they are ninety, and so on, and about five out of every two hundred persons should walk the earth for a century. Charity THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1913 TESTS OF SENSE OF SMELL Experiments Have Proved That It Is Much More Acute in the Male Than in the Female. Some interesting experiments have been made in France on the relative acuteness of the sense of smell in individuals. A series of solutions of oil of cloves, artificial musk, extract of garlic, bromine and oil of almonds, were prepared by successive dilutions until the limit of perception was reached, and then the solutions were placed indiscriminately, and submitted to several persons of both sexes to classify them properly by the sense of smell. The results showed, that, on the average, the sense of smell was much more delicate in the males than in the females; but the degrees of keenness ranged widely as between individuals. Thus, three male observers were able to detect one part of oil of bitter almonds in two million parts of water; though its presence was not revealed by a chemical test; but others of both sexes could not detect the presence of this same product in solutions of almost overpowering strength. The following figures give the average limit of delicacy of perception: Oil of cloves—(males, 1 in 88,128; females, 1 in 50,667); artificial musk—(males, 1 in 783,870; females, 1 in 311,330); extract of garlic—(males, 1 in 57,927; females, 1 in 43,900); bromine—(males, 1 in 339,254; females, 1 in 16,244); oil of bitter almonds—(males, 1 in 112,000; females, 1 in 18,000). DOG NOT THE ONE TO BLAME Pet Could Not Help It If Owner Chose to Imitate His Peculiar Style of "Decoration." This is a familiar fact, but the man does not recall that he ever encountered a case, before yesterday, in which a human being was deliberately trying to imitate the dog. But he struck the case at last. Coming down Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon was a woman dressed in a clinging black satin gown, around the bottom of which was a ring of black-brown fur, which seemed to be bearskin. The skirt was close and supple, and it outlined the lady's limbs as she walked. Around her neck was another rim of black-brown fur of the same kind. The skirt was so close that she trotted rather than walked. And trotting at her side was a black French poole whose legs had been shorn, except for a furry fringes of coarse black hair just above the feet. His body had also been shorn, except for the space around his shoulders and neck. His gait was an effeminate trot. He was in the main a canine duplicate of the lady who was leading him, but as the fringes were artificial, and beyond the dog's own power to produce, it was evident that the similarity between the two was reached by the woman copying the dog's style, and not by the dog conforming to the woman's—New York Mall. Golgotha. The one spot which more than any other has controlled the history of Europe lies, strangely enough, not in Europe itself, but in Asia. For the possession of the site where Christ "suffered, was buried and rose again" more blood has been shed than for any other. An immense number of lives were laid down during the Crusades; and for 600 years before the Crusades, and even to the present time, a constant stream of pilgrims has poured into Jerusalem to worship at the spot made sacred by the crucifixion of Christ. From the fourth century after Christ until fifty years ago this site was generally conceded to be within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Now two sites dispute the claim of being the actual Golgotha. The latter claimant is known as "Gordon's Calvary," though to an American, Dr Harlan P. Beach of Yale university, is due the actual discovery of it. Gen. Gordon, the hero of Khartoum, having first secured for it general recognition—Christian Herald. Jimmy on Guard. The county farm in an Illinois town has an old character named Jimmy. Somebody gave Jimmy a policeman's uniform some years ago, and ever since he has deemed it his lifework to guard things. He goes around guarding motor cycles and baby carriages and threshing engines when the owners are shopping or at luncheon. One day when the Chautauqua was in session Jimmy was discovered guarding a hole in the fence. Some boys wanted to sneak through the hole, but Jimmy stopped them and said: "That's what I'm here for—to keep people out." Then he added, in a low tone: Then he added, in a low tone: "But if you'll go around the corner of the fence there's another hole where you can get through." Birds Sing Ragtime. That many singing birds in captivity can be taught to pipe bars of popular songs is well known. But Mr. Thomas J. Dawson of Lower Sloane street, London, states that some of his bullfinches have been so trained that they can sing with accuracy and uncommon sweetness the Toreador song from "Carmen," "The Soldiers" Chorus," from "Faust," and the hymn, "Now the Day Is Over." Trained in Germany by cobblers who pipe to them, the bullfinches begin their singing lessons just after they are born, and when brought to England are sometimes sold for as much as £10 each.

THURSDAY SPECIAL TALKING PICTURES--"THE FACE ON THE FLOOR" NEXT WEEK--ALL NEW ACTS--ALL NEW FACES. SQUARELY UP TO FITZGERALD Cleveland, May 17, 1913. Editor, Gazette, Dear Mr. Smith:—I received a marked copy of The Gazette containing a suggestion that my attention be called to the desirability of extending E. 24th St., to Cedar Ave. In this connection you would probably be interested to learn that bonds in the sum of $9000 for the extension of E. 24th St., from Central Ave., to Cedar Ave., were authorized by City council at my suggestion during the latter part of entering the Council I had the necessary surveys made by the City Engineer's department and also appraisal of the properties on Central and Cedar Avenues, which would have to be acquired by the city in order to effect the extension. This was as far as I could carry the matter without the approval of the Director of Public Service. Unfortunately Director Springbore has refused to authorize the extension, claiming that the improvement is not necessary at the present time. To my mind his attitude in this question is that he will do nothing voluntarily to assist a republican ward. I have conferred with Rev. H. C. Bailey on this matter and I believe that he thoroughly appreciates the situation. If you will through the columns of your valuable paper, The Gazette, relieve me of any negligence in furtheing the street extension. I will be grateful. Councilman Trud Ward. We comply with Councilman FitzGerald's request to publish his letter with pleasure, but balk some on relieving him "of any negligence in furhering the street extension," in question, for reasons that will appear later on. On receipt of his letter, we submitted it to Director of Public Service Springborn for an award for an early reply, because of the man's references to him and the blame for the delay in making the im-provement so greatly desired, Mr FitzGerald was placing at the director's door. The following, from Mr Springborn, is self-explanatory: Cleveland, May 21, 1913. Editor, Gazette, My dear Sir:—Regarding the extension of E. 24th St from Central Ave. to Cedar Ave. would say, that the last legislation I am able to find any record of, relate an ordinance bearing the name of Excouncilman Fleming, which ordinance authorized the selling of $12,000 in bonds for the purpose of paying the expense of opening and extending E. 24th St. This ordinance was passed by the council in December, 1911. The bonds authorized, however have never been sold so that the officer has actually acted for his work. Councilman Gerald did talk with me about a year ago in regard to the opening of this street, and I told him that I recalled the former effort in this same direction, but that some objection had arisen which prevented the councilman at that time serving the ward from carrying the work forward, and that it would, of course, be difficult to sell the bonds unless it was really intended to make the improvement. Inquiry at the city engineer's office fails to show that any survey of this street was ever made or that there was any appraisal of the property as stated by Mr. FitzGerald. Whether the $12,000 will pay the cost of opening the street or not is therefore at issue. I have said nothing further to me about the matter; nor has he given me any assurance that he really wants the project carried through. I think you are fully aware of the fact that personally I have never opposed the extension of E. 24th St.; nor do I oppose it now. You probably recall that in interview when the matter was under discussion, I recommended the opening of the street in question. I think all of those who have had dealings with this office know that we pay no attention to ward lines or political sub-divisions, but try to give an equal service to all. Director of Public Service. About all of our people, and many others, in that section of the city have for years greatly desired a street cut through from Central Ave. to Cedar Ave. (at least), half way between E. 28th St. and E. 22d St. The Gazette has favored an extension of E. 24th St., but possibly it would be cheaper, more easily and quickly secured, and a better location, to widen and extend E. 25th place through to Cedar Ave. Wm. S. FitzGerald, when a candidate for council, PROMISED to see that this was done, and has been a member of the council long enough, under both republican and democratic city administrations, to have accomplished this several times, to say the least. Therefore, The Gazette, after waiting more than "a reasonable length of time," called on Councilman FitzGerald to keep his PROMISE and have the street cut through if he desired the support of our people in that section, in the future. In response to our request, he sent us the letter, published above, and placed the blame, for his failure to do so, on Director of Public Service Springborn, whose letter of explanation follows. Mr. FitzGerald's, and as we have already said, places the matter squarely up to the councilman. The director, it will be seen, refuses to be the "goat" for the councilman and plainly tells him and all of us that he is not only NOT to blame for Mr. FitzGerald's failure to keep his PROMISE but that he (the director) still favors "the extension in question" which he recommended some years ago and still stands ready to further—whenever the councilman will make a bona fide effort to secure the same. Another fact made clear in Director Springborn's letter is, that there is no record in the city engineer's office showing any survey of the street in question, or any appraisal of property, as stated by Mr. FitzGerald in his letter. Come now, Mr. councilman, the whole matter is up to you and something must be DONE. No more promises will suffice. We have had enough of them from at least two councilmen, both republicans, too. The few prejudiced whites who live in Cedar Ave., and who objected to the improvement because, as one of them said, "n—rs would come through it to Cedar Ave. and peep into their windows," must no longer be listened to by our councilmen who, to please them, delay the making of this greatly needed extension. Entirely too many hundreds of people of both races in that section of the city need and demand this improvement, Mr. FitzGerald. Will you do what they desire? We trust so, and soon. Cleveland, O, May 23, 1913. Editor Gazzette, Dear Mr. Smith: I received your paper containing an editorial on the proposed extension of East 24th Street and quoting a letter received from Director of Public Service Springborn. In order that you may fully appreciate the accuracy of Mr. Springborn's statements in enclosing a blue print copy of an original letter from the City Engineer ber 22, 1911, by the City Engineer showing the proposed street extension and giving in black ink the apraisal figures on properties which would have to be acquired by the City to extend the street. The original survey map is on file in the City Engineer's office and I obtained the enclosed copy this morning. You will therefore observe that Mr. Springborn wrote that the words of the Engineer's office fail to show the survey or appraisal made of the proposed East 24th Street extension is unqualifiedly incorrect. His statement that I have given him no assurance that I want the street extended is also incorrect. I personally visited Mr. Springborn and requested that he improvement be made. He indeed made the request. Our other street extensions were more important than the one I requested but promised to examine the conditions on Central Avenue and further advise me. I was not surprised that Mr. Springborn failed to communicate with me further in regard to the matter. In conclusion I suggest that you give the City Service and I will then make a formal demand on him that he give his sanction to the extension of East 24th Street from Central to Cedar Avenue. Will you kindly return the enclosed blue print to me at your convenience? Cleveland, O., May 27, 1913. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: /Regarding the foregoing letter from Councilman FitzGerald, with reference to opening East 24th street, would say that I was in error when I advised you that no record of a survey could be found in the Engineer's office, and I take this occasion to correct the same. When you requested information regarding the extension of East 24th street, I assert what had been done by the engineers in the way of making this improvement. He understood Mr Hoffman to say that no survey had been made, nor any estimate of cost prepared. It now develops, however that Mr. Hoffman said a survey had been made. This, though, is of minor importance in connection with the making of this improvement. When ever the money for the making of this improvement is available you may feel assured that this department will not delay the opening of the land and of opening up the street. Yours very truly. W. J. SPRINGBORN, Director of Public Service. Cleveland, O, May 24, 1913. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 23rd instant I beg to advise you that it will be convenient for me to see Mr. Springbiond on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. If you are at my office on Tuesday morning, I will be very glad to have you go to the City Hall with me. Will you please bring the blue-print map with you? Very truly yours, W. S. FitzGERALD. Cleveland, O, May 24, 1913. Mr. W. S. FitzGerald, Williamson Bldg., City. Dear Sir:—Your letter of even date received. I will be pleased to meet you at the City Hall in the Di- rectors office at 10:15 a.m. M. tues- day. I will come time to go direct there from my office, and I am very busy these days. Will return blue- print as requested. Tuesday morning, Mr. FitzGerald and the editor of The Gazette hold a very satisfactory conference with Director Springborn in the latter's office in the City Hall. The matter under discussion was gone over thoroughly and all the progress made that was possible to be made at that time. Councilman FitzGerald is to take certain necessary steps in and out of the Council before we will be able to give anything more definite than is contained in the foregoing. That will be in our next issue. Watch for it. More Likely. "Now. I want a canary that will sing right away and sing what I like; one that won't get the pip or die the first week."

With Pitchers Rucker, Ragon, Allen and Stack pitching real ball, Manager Dahlen's Dodgers are bound to win a fair share of their games. Pat Ragon has shown better than the other twirlers, and is expected to be one of Dahlen's mainstays this season. BASEBALL Hub Perdue employs the spit ball with good success. Bert Maxwell of Toronto did not issue a pass in the first two games he pitched. Eddie Plank, Connie Mack's veteran southpaw heaver, is back in form. A St. Louis baseball writer claims that baseball is one of the easiest jobs on earth. Manager Chance believes Eddie Plank is the best southpaw in the business. Larry Lajoie will not be shifted to first base, according to Manager Birmingham. Muggsy McGraw has offered three players for Pitcher James of the Boston Braves. Cy Seymour, who has been playing ball since 1893, is trying to come back as a pitcher. Joe Birmingham is winning games for the Naps by using dashing attacks on the bases. Pitcher Emil Richter, late of Louisville and once with the Chicago Cubs, is now with Montreal. It is said that harmony in the team is the secret of the Cleveland Naps' fine showing this season. Wallace Smith, a failure with the St. Louis Cardinals, is going great guns as Atlanta's third baseman. Chance and Tinker may have to revise their opinion about the Reds boating out the Cubs in this season's race. They say Doc White is like Tenny- son's brook. Doc goes on forever, and the older he grows the better he be- comes. Jack Miller shows up well on the first bag for the Pirates and a load has been lifted off the mind of Fred Clarke. Russell Ford of the Highlanders fig- ures the Washington Senators are as hard a team to beat as any in the American league. Bob Bescher, who has always been one of the mainstays of the Red batt- ers, is not hitting the ball with his accustomed success. McGraw's standard fine for drink- ing the cozy stuff without a permit is $25.05—the $25 being the fine and the .05 for the beer. Cleveland will, this summer, have twenty amateur baseball leagues of four hundred players who will use the public park diamonds. Manager McGraw claims he has seven men who will steal forty bases each this season. That's 280 for seven men, or 300 for the team. Manager Jennings says his men will be more effective against southpaws this season. The Tigers always were poor with the stick against the portsiders. Minneapolis got but three hits in twelve innings off two Louisville pitchers on April 22, but won out because Lowdermilk give ten bases on balls. Ban Johnson's umpires will come in for a lot of kidding this summer if they wear the stripes the league president says he is going to decorate them with. Charley Stengel of the Dodgers is some slugger. He made two home runs against the Braves, giving the Dodgers a victory, scoring three of the four runs himself. Umpires have been instructed by President Ban Johnson not to call base runners out when they fall victims to the hidden ball trick. One veteran of baseball who has retired to private business and is glad of it is Fred Tenney, one of the best players who ever graced the diamond. Hans Wagner has a wonderful batting record for the years that he has played in organized baseball. Hans never hit lower than .329, and his highest mark was .380. --- allen and Stack pitching real ball, o win a fair share of their games. Pat ther twirlers, and is expected to be son. Eddie Plank, Connie Mack's veteran southpaw heavier, is back in form. A St. Louis baseball writer claims that baseball is one of the easiest jobs on earth. Manager Chance believes Eddie Plank is the best southpaw in the business. Larry Lajole will not be shifted to first base, according to Manager Birmingham. Muggsy McGraw has offered three players for Pitcher James of the Boston Braves. Fred Clarke is the oldest manager in point of service in the big leagues, and Evers is the youngest. Down in Washington the fans have gone dipy over the possibilities of their team winning the pennant. A Kansas City critic admits that the Indianapolis team is a "good deal better than it looked on paper." Joe Birmingham's Naps are the real sluggers of the American league for the early part of the 1913 season. Umpire Ferguson, who was recommended to Ban Johnson by Clark Griffith, is giving pretty fair satisfaction. Maranville of the Braves is the smallest shortstop, and Myers, same team, the tallest first sacker in captivity. Eddie Plank, Connie Mack's veteran southpaw, is the only player of the Philadelphia club who follows the solitary life. SPORTING WORLD Battling Nelson is through with the boxing game. The brother of the grand race horse Earl, Jr., is called Jack Johnson. He is owned at Toronto. Benjamin Allen of Kansas City will be the next opponent of Alfred De Oro for the pool championship. Kecham, the Yale captain and star center of the past two seasons, will be played at end next year. The $1,000 purses which will be given at the Toledo meeting filled well, forty being named in the 2:24 trot. Howard Jones, after a week of spring practice at Yale, says that the Blue will be a 1913 football winner. Futurities for foals of 1913 seem to have done very well. The American Horse Breeder has 1,189 nominations. George Bripoke, the old Penn star, has formulated some rules for furnishing competition in kicking and passing of the football among the undergrads. Harvard stadium authorities have had built a wire cage which will pre- vent the merry hammer throwers from tossing the iron sphere into the stands. Larry Waterbury and his polo pony recently turned a complete somersault in a practice game at Westbury, L. I. The only thing damaged was the turf. Meredith, the Pennsylvania freshman star runner, will be broken into the 220 and 440 game, and will not run the $80. Leach Cross wants to fight Willie Ritchie for the championship, where- in Leach differs from all the other lightweight challengers. Is it to be a bad year all around in major sport for Cornell? Coach Moakley's track prospects are reported bleak indeed, with the crack John Paul Jones as his sole hope. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1913 VARIOUS IDEAS OF NEGLIGEE COSTUME But Through All of Them the Lure of the Tea Gown Will Be Found to Provail. IDEAL FOR INFORMAL AFFAIR Apart From Splendid Dinner and Evening Gowns There is Nothing That More Worthily Adorns the Graceful Woman of Fashion. The term "negligee" has been generally adopted to denote the loose, flowing robes in various styles which are worn on informal occasions, but, from the fashion viewpoint, the world is not sufficiently explanatory. There is a vast difference between the negligee cut on the lines of the slumber robe, which may be worn in the boudoir in the morning, and the hand some negligee in satin and chiffon and laces, which may be worn at dinner in one's home, even though a few guests are present. Between these two extremes there is a variety of other styles, ranging from the bath robe, the "saut de lit," the combing jacket, the matfnee and skirt, to the boudoir robe. What Constitutes a Tea Gown. None of these negliges should be worn outside the portals of the boudoir, with the exception of the garment which, for want of a better name, has been called the "tea gown." This garment has been elaborated until today it is difficult to tell the difference between it and the informal dinner gown. In fact, the fine point of distinction lies almost entirely in the fit of the girdle. The informal dinner gowns have a bonded girl and are more closely fitted in the bodice than the tea gown. At a glance it is impossible to decide where the line is drawn between the three-piece negligee and the newest dinner gowns. The three-piece negligee is indeed joy and pleasure. The clever blendings of color and the long, uninterrupted lines are a source of delight to the eye. They are so universally becoming that every woman desires to possess at least one of these enchanting creations. Nor are they possessions beyond the limits of all pursues except those of the wealthy, for it is comparatively easy to fashion one of these costumes from the satin ball gown of the winter with the addition of flouces of lace and a tunic of chiffon. The foundation of practically all of these gowns is satin, or one of its allies. Flouces of lace can be bought by the yard, and so can the garlands of chiffon rosebuds, which add the finishing touches. A coatie of chiffon, pointed at the sides and back, and a stenciled border will finish it in the mode now favored by Paris. The cost will be trifling compared with the price tag attached to these gowns in the exclusive shops. Color Schemes Important. Much of the success of these tea gowns, however, depends upon the color scheme, and here is where women may indulge their love of color to their hearts' content. Every woman possesses a sense of color; it may be crude or it may be artistic, but it is generally in the embryo state because she has followed the dictates of her dressmaker more or less slavishly. Here is her opportunity to express her personality in color. Those who favor the vivid Oriental tones can revel in rich brocades and old-time prints with daring splashes of color while the others who believe in the subtle charm of subdued shadings will find plenty of fascinating materials in the dull greens and blues of the Egyptian color card. An effective color scheme is carried out in a gown of orange satin which is veiled by an overdress in pale blue chiffon. Over the vivid orange foundation the blue takes on a grayish hue which is charming. The overdress follows the lines of a Russian jacket, and its edges are finished in a stenciled border ornamented with white beads. The jacket is fastened by buttons of white beads from which fall beaded tassels. Home-Made Tea Gown. The bright color note is introduced on a two-piece model in a manner which should appeal to the woman who is planning to fashion one of these gowns for herself. The foundation is pink satin—the satin ball gown could be used quite as well as a new skirt—and on the skirt there are two pleatings of white net, each headed with a band of Nell rose satin. Above this clusters of silk cherries, nesting among the green foliage, are festooned all around the skirt. The jacket is fashoned on the semi-Russian lines from white chiffon, and the neck and sleeves are finished by garlands of the cherries. The sash, which fashion has borrowed from the Orient, appears to its best advantage on these informal costumes. It may be wound around the hips in any becoming manner, but the true Oriental mode of knotting it in the front is very effective. Such a sash lends chic to a three-piece model of white satin. The sash is in salmon pink satin, matching in color the chiffon wrap, which is draped up in the front to display the sash. The bodice has a V-necked neck, softened by frills of shadow lace, and, in fact, the upper part of the bodice is en- Warning to Bores. When the man upon whom you are calling begins to drum on his desk with his fingers, he is not drumming "the devil's tatto" at random. He is ticking out a clear, emphatic telegram, hot from the wire "Will this fellow never go?" Its meaning never changes, and you ought to understand it at the first flam. Still Demand for Flints. Millions of flints are produced annually in England by "knappers," who tirely composed of lace. A band of coral beads and rhinestones outlines the decolletage, and a wider band marks the normal waist line. Silver ribbon is used to finish the neck and sleeves of the chiffon wrap. The combinations of color, all soft and subdued, are charming, and the gown, though dressy, gives the impression of daintiness and simplicity. Empire Line Becoming. The empire line is, as a rule, the most becoming in gowns of this type, though it has a serious rival in the normal waist line lent by the Russian jackets and the lowered waist line produced by the sash drapery. Its charm, however, is well illustrated in a sleeveless model of beige colored crepe de chine. The bottom of the skirt is finished by three narrow pleatings of white tulle, while above this a design in bowknots is developed in baby blue ribbon, shirred, and encircling pale pink rosebuds. The coatte to be worn over this foundation is of pale blue chiffon, with the pointed sides and back weighted by turquoise beaded tassels. The stenciled border finishing this delightful little chiffon confection is carried out in the Greek key design, and is outlined on either edge with white beads. Among the new broche silk rattles and the exquisite broche chiffons there are numerous designs which seem as if they were intended for gowns of this type. One of the foremost French designers, a courtiere well known for her artistic negleiges and lingerie frocks, has recently sent over a tea gown of Nell rose barrette plaid rattles mounted over a lining of white china silk. The gown is charmingly draped in the front to display the white silk WILKINSON & WILKINSON Gorgeous Tea Gown. stockings, with lace insets, and the drapings are caught by three large roses made from the material, with centers of white silk. The deep sailor collar adds a jaunty and girlish effect and is made of white silk satrice, like the cuffs which finish the wide three-quarter or large sleeves. A tea gown of salmon colored silk with creme lace tunic covered with silver beads is shown in the illustration. The tunic is caught in a knot about the front hem. Cut Glass Butler At how many dinner tables has the wish been expressed that a little railroad around the table might be devised on which the dishes could travel, and so save the constant passing from hand to hand? Some ingenious soul has thought of a practical scheme to obviate the constant passing, and his device, though not a miniature railroad track, is quite as practical. It takes the form of a revolving, beveled glass shelf, ten inches wide, supported by a plated silver standard. The standard rests in the center of the table and the plates of bread, butter hors d'oeuvres and so on stand on the revolving glass shelf. A cut glass receptacle for flowers is mounted on the metal standard above the revolving shelf. Sewing Room Hints. When making a nightgown for a growing child, buy a pattern that is too large and use the body part of that pattern and the sleeve of a dress pattern which fits the child. For example, for a child of a year or a year and a half buy a four-year-pattern. Use the body of this pattern, and use for the sleeve the pattern of a dress sleeve for a child of one year. In doing this the nightgown will not be too large or bulky; it will simply be roomy. The sleeves will become too short before the gown is worn out. You must then put new sleeves in the required size. In this way the nightgown can be worn out and not discarded or given away while still in good condition. Boleros of Embroidery and Brocade. Many of the new blouses are made up on the bolero lines and a novelty offered is a bolero of fine batiste embroidery to be worn over a plain net blouse. Other separate boleros are elaborate with multi-colored embroidery—the Bulgarian idea. use much the same tools and work in much the same manner as did the men of the Neolithic age. The flints go to Africa, South America and China. Flintlock muskets are still used by many negroes in the depths of Africa, and shipments of the bits of stone find ready market in the beighted regions. Danger of Dictating With a Lisp. "Office-boy wanted, to make himself youthful."—Adv. in Manchester Evening News. CAP and BELLS PARENT PROUD OF HIS TWINS PARENT PROUD OF His TWINS Young Man Exceedingly Anxious That Everybody Should Know of His Grave Responsibilities. A young man came into a drug store and ordered talcum powder, soothing syrup, a disinfectant, or some household remedy. While giving his order he remarked importantly to the clerk "I've got twin babies at my house." While the waiting for his purchase he turned to one of the proprietors and said, "I'm certainly on the go these days. I've got twin babies at my house." A doctor came in, his mind evidently on his patients. The young father didn't know the doctor, but that made no difference. "Doctor," he asked, "how much whooping cough is there in town?" "I don't know," answered the doctor. "I'm anxious to find out," said Mr. Newpop "I've got twin babies at my house." Before he could break the glad tidings to anybody else we fled the scene. Answered at Last. A Swede was being examined in a case in a Minnesota town where the defendant was accused of breaking a plateglass window with a large stone. He was pressed to tell how big the stone was, but he could not explain. "Was it as big as my fist?" asked the nervous judge who had taken over the examination from the lawyers in the hope of getting some results. "It ban bigger," the Swede replied. "Was it as big as my two fists?" "It ban bigger." "Was it as big as my head?" "It ban about as long, but not so thick?" replied the Swede amid the laughter of the court.—Saturday Evening Post. Talented Agent. Mrs. Home Seeker—You certainly don't expect anybody to take this house? Why, it sags terribly. The floors all run downhill. Agent (a small man)—It was built that way on purpose, mum, to keep peace in the family. Greatest invention of the age, mum. Mrs. Home Seeker—Keep peace in the family? Agent—Yes, mum—nothing like it. Whenever your husband drops his collar buttons, he'll always know know where to find 'em. Lady—And you say that you follow two of the most popular professions? Hobo—Yes, mum; in winter I am a baseball player and in the summer I am an actor. Dat is why I never work. More Than 202 Million. "Are you aware of the fact that the United States bureau of fisheries hatched 202,000,000 lobsters last year?"
