New York Legislature Appropriates $25,000 For Emancipation Celebration. New York.—Governor William Sulzer has signed the Carswell bill appropriating $25,000 for an exhibition and celebration commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. The bill was drawn by Summer H. Lark, editor of the Brooklyn Eye, and presented by Senator Carswell of Kings county, who granted every opportunity to Mr. Lark and his associates to get the measure through before the adjournment of the legislature. Governor Sulzer showed his interest in the matter in an unusually friendly manner by issuing an emergency order so that the matter might receive consideration in ample time for legislative action. The full text of the bill as passed and signed by the governor is as follows: An act to provide for an exhibition and celebration in New York city to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, creating a commission to take the same and making an appropriation therein to the people of the state of New York, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: Section I.

The principal aim of the Negro Society For Historical Research is to instruct the race and inspire love and veneration for its men and women who have achieved distinction by their efforts. The society was organized April 18, 1911. in Yonkers, New York, where it maintains headquarters at Sunny Slope cottage. John Edward Bruce, the well known newspaper correspondent, is president of the society. The library contains a collection of over 300 books of rare value. Phillis Wheatley's poems, published in London in 1773; Frederick Douglass' autobiography, published in 1845; Blyden's "Liberia's Offering." W. C. Nell's "Colored Patriots of the American Revolution." "William Wells Brown's "Clotel." "Narrative of a Fugitive Slave" and Paul Dunbar's poems are among the many books of great value. Annual Meeting of Medical Association. The annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Nashville, Tenn., in August. The organization is increasing in membership very rapidly, due at the present time largely to the host of young men graduates from the various medical schools throughout the country. The committee in charge of arrangements for entertaining the delegates and visitors is hard at work, and the indications are that the attendance at the coming session will be quite large. Dr. C. V. Roman, editor of the National Medical Journal, is creating much favorable sentiment for the meeting through the Journal. New Industrial Training School Pennsylvania has granted a charter for the incorporation of the Isaac Randall Industrial Training School of Afro-Americans. The institution will be located in Sallisbury township, Lancaster county. The purpose of the school is to give the colored boys and girls a fair opportunity along industrial lines. The movement is backed by wealthy white capitalists. H. B. Best holds the list of incorporators. OLD NORTH STATE BAPTIST MEET Roanoke Association Ends Another Prosperous Year. CHEERING REPORTS HEARD. Annual Convention of Influential Religious Body Attended by Delegates and Visitors From All Sections of the State—Interesting Career of Moderator George D. Griffin. Elizabeth City, N. C.—The recent annual meeting of the Roanoke Baptist association held near this city was attended by upward of a thousand delegates and visitors from most every section of the state. The reports from the churches and other organized branches of work connected with the association were highly encouraging. The report on the work of the Roanoke Collegiate institute, which is under the fostering care of the association, was a special feature. This school is doing a great work. Under the leadership of the Rev. G. D. Griffin, B. Th. the association is doing splendid work for education and missions. Dr. Griffin moderator of the Roanoke Baptist association, is one of the best prepared and most aggressive young ministers, the denomination has in this state. He was born in Pasquotank county, N. C. of humble parentage about forty-one years ago and received the rudiment of his early education in the county schools. The Griffin family consisted of father and mother and thirteen children, all of whom are doing some good work. Like most men who follow preaching, the highest calling, Rev. E. H. Griffin, REV. G. D. GRIFFIN, B. TH. father of this large family, was away from home much of the time; hence young George did not receive much of his training from his father, but he had a devoted Christian mother, who directed his life until she had got him beyond the danger line and started him for the successful life which he is now spending for the good of others. It is said that this young moderator of such a large body of Baptists was always settled and plous and was very fond of books, so much so that he often carried a book to bed with him and slept with it under his head. Education was among the first things to claim attention for this promising young boy, so right into the public schools in the county where he was born was his objective point. Rev. Dr. Griffin attended the State Normal school in this city, and in May, 1901, finished the course of study, graduating at the head of the class in theology. With this training he felt that he was prepared to enter the ministry. It was early in 1895 that he was given an opportunity to exercise his gift, for it was this year that he was licensed to preach and was ordained in 1897, thereby adding to the list of ministers one more well prepared man. He was set apart for his work by the Mount Carmel Baptist church. Perhaps it would be of interest to know just what charges he has filled, as this may prove of interest to some of the young men who are struggling to make their mark in life. Dr. Griffin has served as pastor of Little Zion Baptist church, 1896-1900; Galatian Baptist church, Durant's Neck, 1893-1907; Gale Street Baptist church, Edenton, N. C. 1902-4; Haven Creek Baptist church, 1900-5. In the rural districts one minister often pastors three or more churches at the same time. He is also chairman of the executive board of the Ronoke Institute. It was from this position that he was called to the moderatorship of that association. There is something fascinating about newspaper work which is drawing today some of the best men of thought to this line of work. Dr. Griffin was formerly business manager of the Roanoke Tribune and later the position of managing editor of the Hertford (N. C.) Messenger. At his present charge he has been able to erect a fine parsonage and make other improvements in the property. It has the name of being one of the best organized churches in the country and is foremost in its contributions for education and missions. Over 350 members have been added to the church under Dr. Griffin's pastorate. HAMPTON'S GOOD WORK. Annual Report of Principal Frissell Shows School's Achievements. The annual report of Hampton institute, being the forty-fifth since the founding of the school, has been prepared, printed and distributed by the principal, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell. The report covers twenty pages of regular magazine size paper. It is exhaustive in detail and deals with every phase of the inner workings of the institution. No one can read it without being deeply impressed with the tremendous amount of work which the officials of the school have to accomplish in order to keep the various departments up to a high degree of efficiency. Dr. Frissell pays a high tribute to the home in referring to the pioneer work of General S. C. Armstrong, founder of Hampton institute. He says: The most effective educational institution the world has yet produced is the home. In the home the problems to be solved are intensely real, and the solution of them means the power to solve more problems of a similar sort. This power is education. When the founder of Hampton institute was confronted with the problem of educating men and women but later freed from slavery, a race without the traditions of self supporting, self respecting family life, he consciously or unconsciously adopted the home as the model for his school, and he chose that type of home where each member contributes his share of service to the common need. Such a home differs widely from the ordinary school. In the home the motives for its activities are for the most part immediate and apparent; in the school conditions are necessarily more artificial and the prescribed tasks are, from the pupil's point of view, often purposeless. Only purposeful activity has educational value. From the first he insisted that the work incident to the daily life should be done by the students themselves, not merely because his students were poor and must work their way, but because of the educational value of the work itself. The enrollment for 1913 is 839, representing thirty-three states and five foreign countries. The total number of students enrolled in the trade school for the year is 375. Of these 180 are taking full trade courses. One hundred and twenty-four academic students came to the trade school a portion of the time for industrial training, and thirty-three agricultural students spent the three winter months taking special courses related to their work. The amount paid to students in wages this year amounted to $18,682.21. The largest single piece of work which the trade school has done during the past year has been the erection of Clarke hall. The building was begun in March, 1912, and was opened for use February, 1913. The contract price was $26,142.77, and, with the exception of putting on the slate roof, making some plaster cornice (industries not taught here) and a portion of the furniture, all the work was done by students. This called for the services of bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, sheet metal workers, steamfitters, plumbers, cabinetmakers, electricians and painters. Mr. Ludlow of the firm of Ludlow and Peabody, who designed the building, says that the brick work in it compares favorably with similar work around New York city, and some of the local builders have pronounced it the best piece of brick work on the peninsula. Besides completing this special contract, the trade school has kept up the repairs on the school buildings and done work for parties outside the school in seventeen states. This includes furniture, turned wood, reverse gears, steam separators, grate bars, wheelbarrows, wagons and trucks. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT. Features of Program For Closing Week at Fisk University. Nashville, Tenn.—The school year at Fisk university, in this city, will soon come to a close. Active preparations are being made for the annual commencement, which will begin on Wednesday, June 11. Five members of the graduating class have been selected to take part on the program of the public exercises. The commencement address will be delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington, a member of the board of trustees. Aside from the general interest which is always manifested in the events of commencement week, there are two features which are attracting considerable attention. The most important of the two is the trustees' report with reference to the endowment fund which the institution has been for the past two years struggling to raise. Every effort is being put forward to complete the fund of $300,000 by June 1. The other feature centers in the work of the junior class, which is preparing to present a play entitled "The Lion and the Mouse." Class day exercises, the usual receptions and farewell meetings by students and faculty will hold the attention of every one throughout the week. The usual large number of out of town visitors is expected. The students and local alumni association have already given a jubilee concert for the benefit of the endowment fund. The concert program of music was participated in by the university Glee club, a large chorus and several noted soloists. The school is widely known for the musical ability of its students, and the May jubilee concert fully sustained the musical reputation of this pioneer institution for higher education. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS WIFE MURDERER LOSES HIS FIGHT Porter Charlton Must Return to Italy. DECISION OF SUPREME COURT Prisoner Upon Arriving in United States From Italy Admits Slaying His Spouse Soon After Being Placed Under Arrest. Washington, D. C. — Porter Charlton must return to Italy to answer the charge of having murdered his wife in June, 1910, at Lake Como. The supreme court so decided Tuesday. Charlton has been a prisoner in the Hudson county (N. Y.) jail nearly three years while the fight for his extradition has been going on. The supreme court's decision affirms the action of former Secretary Knox, who determined to turn Charlton over to Italy. Justice Lurton began delivering the supreme court's opinion in the Charlton case as soon as the court assembled. He said first that no error had been committed in excluding evidence of insanity at the habeas corpus proceedings in the lower court and that no error was committed in making the formal demand for Charlton because it was not necessary to the demand at the extradition hearing. "The conclusion is," said Justice Lurton, "that this government making exception in some treaties that it would not extradite its citizens, shows it was fully aware that there was no exception in favor of citizens in other treaties where the exception was not made, as the treaty with Italy. PORTLR CHARLTON "We come to the question whether the treaty is no longer binding on the United States because Italy has refused to surrender up its subjects." Justice Lurton reviewed at length the correspondence between the United States and Italian governments regarding the attitude of the two governments. He pointed out that it was conceded that crimes committed in Italy were not justicable in the United States, so, if extradition were not granted, the criminals would go unpunished. Crimes committed in the United States, he added, were justicable in Italy. According to international law he held that the treaty, by reason of Italy's course, had not become void, but merely voidable at the option of the American government. The executive department having waived its right to annul the treaty, the justice concluded, nothing remained for the court to do but to enforce its decision. History of the Crime. The body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton was found in a trunk near the wave-washed shore of Lake Como, Italy, in June, 1910. It was in a horribly mutilated condition, showing plain marks of violence. The Italian police at once took up the investigation of the case, with the result that a warrant was issued for the arrest of Porter Charlton, charging him with the murder of his wife. A search for young Charlton revealed the fact that he had left the scene of the crime shortly before the corpse of his wife was discovered. His movements were traced to Naples and then aboard the North German liner Princess Irene, bound for America. News of Charlton's whereabouts was cabled to the New York police, and, on his arrival in Hoboken, N. J., on June 22, 1910, he was promptly put under arrest. Within an hour he confessed to the police that he was guilty of the murder. Train Hits Auto Four Die Springfield, Ill.—Four men, three of whom were Chicago businessmen here to appear before a senate committee in the interest of the eight hour law, were killed when an automobile in which they were riding was struck by a Wabash train at Niverton, eight miles from here. The automobile was hurled against a steel switchstand and was wrecked. Three of the men were instantly killed and their bodies so badly mutilated that identification was difficult. Bartel died shortly after the accident. PY FIVE CENTS ROY ORCHARD WOODRUFF C.

WOMEN WIN BALLOT IN STATE OF ILLINOIS Suffrage Bill Passes Both Branches of Legislature. Members of the Fair Sex of the State May Now Vote for All Offices Except Those Named in the Constitution. Springfield, Ill.—The women of Illinois on June 11 won their fight for the ballot. The house of representatives by a vote of $3 to 58 concurred in the womans' suffrage bill recently passed by the senate and sent it to the governor for the signature. He is pledged to sign the bill. The measure was adopted in one of the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in the Illinois legislature. The interests which have fought equal suffrage followed the bill to the floor of the house. The measure hung in the balance until after Speaker McKinley had cast what was in fact the deciding vote and the call absentees be-gan. Galleries Are Packed. GENERALS ARE PACKED. The women of the state may now vote for all offices except those named in the constitution of Illinois. They will vote for presidential electors, all municipal officers, the boards of review and assessors, drainage trustees, the state board of equalization and many minor officials and on all propositions. The only reason that women were not given complete enfranchisement is the fact that an amendment to the constitution would be necessary to give them a vote on constitutional offices. Cheers Are Deafening. The house galleries were packed and but six representatives were absent when the bill was called. Every rule and twist of parliamentary practice, fair means and foul, were used by the opponents of the measure to delay action. Three separate roll calls were necessary before the enemies of suffrage would allow it to come to a vote. At the end of the roll call Speaker McKinley voted a yea and the ayes were 76, although they should have been 77, just a constitutional majority. There was a moment of tense silence. Then Representative George B. Baker arose and shouted: "Mr. Speaker, record me as voting aye." The cheers were deafening. Books and bills were hurled into the air and a dozen members ran to grasp Baker's hand. On the call of the absentees six more votes were mustered and the roll call stood 83 to 58. FOUR DIE AS BOILER EXPLODES One Is Missing and Eleven Are Rescued When Blast Occurs on Steam Barge. Racine, Wis. — Four men were killed, two injured, one fatally, and one reported missing and eleven rescued when the boiler of the steam barge E. M. Peck, a 2,500-ton steamer owned by Hutchinson & Co. of Cleveland, exploded. The explosion occurred at the coal docks of the Pugh Co. The boiler was blown 200 feet ashore and crashed through the coal sheds of the Pugh Co. The force of the explosion carried with it the stern portion of the vessel deck and scattered it about the harbor. Grand Vizier of Turkey Assassinated, Constantinople, Turkey.—The Turkish grand vizier, Mahamud Skeffet Pasha, was assassinated by two men armed with revolvers, who attacked him while he was proceeding in his motor car to the sublime porte. The alde de camau of Mahamud Skeffet Pasha was also killed by the assassins. It is understood that the men who committed the crime are civilians. It is believed in government circles here that the assassination of the grand vizier was the outcome of a plot against the Young Turks. --- One Year. $1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. .50 Subscribers are requested to mit by postoffice money or order or registered letter.

The editor of the Richmond Planet is wrong in several instances. There was and is not "an ex-parte" case, because he was not an asked to judge or "pass on" anything but merely to give an opinion as to the advisability of DuBois and the N. A. A. C. P.'s taking up new and more important work The THIRD great problem is lynching or mob violence; the FOURTH, the one he calls attention to. Then again he is certainly wrong when he says that the "milk in the coconut the vital point at issue" is anything else but whether or not DuBois and the N. A. A. C. P. should take up the two great big problems named. The matter of funds was only referred to incidentally by The Gaette, and was not "the vital point" being considered by it. For so large a man, Editor John Mitchell, jr., is certain "some sidestepper," but we are not going to permit him to get away in that way. "NEGRO" REGIMENTS. Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania vetoed the Afro-American regiment bill passed recently by that state's assembly. There are Afro-American members of Pennsylvania's State Militia, and it is a question, whether or not he has not acted wisely in so doing. Our people of New York are having a queer experience in their effort to "float" a similar organization as there are some peculiar "angles" to the N. Y. bill granting an Afro-Ameri can regiment which Gov. Sulzer signed last week. He says the bill is not a general one but that it was "a special city bill, relating to the city of New York, and therefore needed the approval of the mayor" of that city before it could become effective. When Mayor Gaynor was asked to approve it he said that he could not approve the bill because it was necessary that a public hearing should be advertised with reference to it two days in advance of its consideration by him. We have not learned that this has been done as yet. However Gov. Sulzer was to tell Adjutant General Hamilton to muster in one company of the regiment at the end of the 90 day period specified in the bill. REFUSE $10,000 FROM CARNEGIE FOR A LIBRARY. A $10,000 Carnegie library has been refused by our people of Evansville, Ind., a committee having assured Trustee Edmund L. Craig, who got Carnegie to contribute the $10,000 that they did not desire the library and do nothing toward raising funds for a site or its maintenance. Furthermore they told him that they looked upon it as a plan to segregate them and that it virtually would bar them from the other three local libraries for all the people. They feel that they want to have the liberties of the other libraries on an equal footing with all the other people of that city, and for that reason are discouraging the idea of putting up a new library to be used exclusively by our people even if Colored librarians would be in charge of the "jimcrow" library. Thank God! for those sane, sensible, loyal and intelligent Afro-Americans of Evansville, Ind.! May their kind increase and rapidly, too. Here is a precedent for all of our people in the North to follow. It is the correct one, too. The "Colored librarians" bait did not work this time and never should in this section of the country. THE TWO PROTECTION PLAT- FORMS. In previous discussion of the Republican and Progressive platforms it has been shown that the Progressive demand for social and industrial justice covers nothing that is not Republican and that upon the tariff, business and financial questions they fully agree. In the matter of conservation of natural resources the two Chicago platforms, and that of Baltimore as well, make the same demands, except in the handling of mining lands. The same unanimity is seen in the demand for waterway improvements. The Republican platform makes no declaration in regard to the important questions growing from the opening of the Panama Canal, but, doubtless, the voters are ready to endorse the propositions of the Progressives which are: Panama Canal to maintain competition with transcontinental railroads; to be closed to vessels owned by railroads; to be free to American coastwise ships. The Republicans declared for a parcel post and established it. As it has proved popular it will not again be an issue. As to corrupt practices, each makes a demand which the other does not. The Progressive platform declares for publicity of campaign contributions before as well as after the primary or election. That will be yielded readily. The Republican platform demands that campaign contributions by corporations be prohibited. To this the Progressives may have to yield. The Progressives want lobbyists registered. The wisdom of this requirement will soon be shown by experience. It is about to be tried in the national capital, and in Columbus it was a flasco. The other desires of the Progressives, coming under the head of public service are; Congressional committee hearings to be public (except foreign); congressional committee voting to be recorded and federal appointees prohibited from acting as political delegates, etc. These points afe not covered by the Republican declaration.

Gazette insists that we did not read his editorial carefully and correctly. He claims that he said and intimated that the organization under Dutton leadership was crittering away too much time and the people's hard-earned money doing little things when there were two great big propositions that concerned all of our people untouched by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He referred to the grand-tout clause and the 'jim crow car laws. "We understood Hon. Harry C. Smith to say and mean this very thing. We proceeded to cite some of the things which the distinguished editorial writer regarded as 'little things'. Bolled down, the entire discussion is a matter of opinion until the organization comes forward and the editor finds on which a conclusion can be reached without prejudice to the Association. "It seems to us that the 'long and short' of the whole business is that Editor Smith is 'of the opinion that the Association should proceed to test the 'grandfather' laws and the 'jim crow' car laws, and if the money is not available the salaries should be reduced in one department to furnish the fees in the other. We suspect that the last alternative as being in his mind and if so we withdraw it in advance. "Of course Dr. DuBois is a scholar—a veritable 'book worm' and he is not calculated to make friends by personal contact. He is 'tiny' in his demeanor and distant in his habits, but his great ability is luminous and his intelligence is a direct of his other scholarly peculiarities. "As we understand it, Hon. Harry C. Smith is not opposed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People but in fact favors it. He only desires that it extend the scope of its usefulness to the African-American racial questions now confronting and embarrassing the Colored people of the country. Selah." Right you are, at last, Brother Mitchell. That is exactly what we are insisting upon and want you and all others of the race press to join us in doing. We do not care a "rap" how "scholarly" and "icy" and "distant" Du Bois is and how "luminous his great ability." We want him to make a PROPER effort to "deliver" or "get off the perch." In Missouri they demand that one "show." In Ohio, we demand that you "show" and PROVE! If Du Bois will do this, we are still with him and are willing that his salary be doubled. What we want and insist upon, are results anent the two big problems which affect ALL of our people, and not only results, anent little ones, affecting individuals only. The case, last week, of S. W. Green, grand chancellor of our K. P., is evidence indisputable of the necessity of action in the U. S. Supreme Court, fathered by Du Bois and the N. A. C. P., against the "jimcrow" railroad laws of southern states. Our wives, mothers, sisters and daughters may be the next to be mobbed and nearly lynched, as he was, for exercising a right guaranteed by the U. S. constitution. If something is not soon done in the U. S. Supreme Court to the south that even Afro-American inter-state railroad passengers have rights that even that section of this peculiar country must respect. Yes! we are insisting that Du Bois and the N. A. A. C. P. pay some attention to the two great, big problems—diffranchisement and "jimcrow" railroad cars—that concern ALL of our people, as well as important cases involving practically only the two big problems are: Diffranchise laws, especially those based on the "grand clause"; "jimcrow" car laws, at least as far as they affect inter-state passengers. And want Editor Mitchell of the Planet, Editor J. R. Clark of the Martinsburg (W. V. Ra.) Pioneer Press and all other loyal confreres of the race press, to join us in this demand. Will you and they do it? We sincerely hope so. DU BOIS AND THE N. A. A. C. P. Two of Our Leading Race Publications Getting Their Eyes Open. In our editorial columns will be found two "pairs of editorial glasses" we are sending at their request, to our friends and confreres, the editors of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press and the Richmond (Va.) Planet, in response to the following editorial excerpts: Send Us A Pair, Too. (Martinsburg, W. Va. Pioneer Press.) So erudite an editor as the Hon. Harry C. Smith, of The Cleveland, Ohio) Gazette, in writing anent the National Association for the Advance of Colored People should not make his writings so ambiguous, and expect a backwoods editor like the one who runs the Pioneer Press to read between the lines and get the kernel out of the shell. But when so able an editor as John Mitchell, Jr. of the Richmond Planet saw it as we did, we can't see our way clear to make a correction, or see through it as our conferee seems to wish we THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1813 should. If, however, Bro. Smith will send by parcel post, his editorial glasses, we shall put them on and readread it, and it may be we shall see it in a different light. — Richmond. (Va.) Planet. BUCKEYE LETTERS a party 4. Two the life with it Charles train EDITOR SMITH IS PERSISTENT. The Cleveland (O.) Gazette is altogether right when it says that we "side-steped" in commenting upon its criticism of Dr. DuBois' conduct of the N. A. A. C. P. We did this because we were forced to do the. 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 saw it just the same. We did not believe that the questions submitted were intended for DuBois and New York and not Mitchell and Richmond. Our esteemed contemporary has confirmed our conclusions—Richmond, (Va.) Planet. Again. The Planet is "side-steping." 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 respect to the problem—disfranchisement and "jim-crow" railroad cars—that concern all of our people, as well as important cases involving practically individuals only. The two big problems are: Disfranchisement laws, especially those based on the "grand father clause"; and "jim-crow" cars, at least as many as passengers. Come now editor Mitchell, what say you as to this?—Cleveland (O.) Gazette. We do not think that there is any doubt but what the two big problems now confronting us are the disfranchisement laws and the jim-crow" father clause", and the "jim-crow" car laws. We believe the third great problem is the segregation laws as relating to property. This problem or question affects the vital rights of a citizen. It is now to confront to the point of endangering our property rights. Property rights are on a par with "life rights" and "liberty rights." The Association in the Baltimore segregation cases is testing this last named proposition and to this writing, thanks to Attorney W. Ashblee Hawkins and his associates, has won thus far in the struggle. I plead guilty though to "sidesteping" the case, that we did not believe in rendering an opinion on an exparte case. The training of a lifetime demands that we hear both sides before rendering an opinion. The "milk in the cocoanut," the vital point at issue is not so much as to whether The Gazette's two vital problems in general and in injury are accounted for, but whether the present management has done all that it could with the financial means at its disposal. Has it expended too much money for salaries, office expenses and traveling bills and too little in the prosecution of suits against the great racial evils which are undermining the republic in general and in injury are accounted for, in summing this up, we avert that an opinion rendered prior to the submission to "this court" of all of the evidence adduced by both sides would be a rank injustice to one or the other of the parties to the controversy and would place us in the same category as the rest of the southland where the Colored man's side of the controversy is fully discounted and the verdict decided upon long before he takes the witness stand. Of course, if the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its officers refuse to "come into court with the case" must be deemed by them to be guilty of a journalistic and legal victory can be plined upon the lapel of the coat of the expanding breast of Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor and proprietor of The Gazette of Cleveland, Ohio. Sidestepping again? Oh yes. Rendering a decision now in favor of our contemporary? Oh, no.—Richmond Plat. DR. W. A. BYRD HONORED Named A State Commissioner, in Charge of the Religious Department of the State Emancipation Celebration. Rochester, N. Y.-Rev. Dr. William A. Byrd, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian church, has received notice of his appointment by Gov. William Sulzer a state commissioner, to arrange for the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the signing of the Ennacipation Proclamation in the next fall. The celebration was divided by the last legislature into three departments, religious, industrial and educational. Dr. Byrd, who will have charge of the first, is arranging to open offices in this city and in New York. The central feature of the celebration will be the interdisciplinary work of Gov. Sulzer, which all creeds will be represented, with delegates from many parts of the earth, for the purpose of discussing problems which confront the Afro-American in his religious life. Of first importance in this symposium is the churching of certain communities; rivalry, which causes two or more denominations to occupy a field not large enough to support more than one; the temperance problem; the question of the new conception of quiet, but thoroughgoing evangelism, as opposed to the old revivalism methods; the importance of other matters of vital importance on the home field; together with the missionary activities of the church in foreign fields, notably Africa and the West Indies; the Men and Religion Forward movement, new Sunday propaganda, and the like. The exact date for the congress has not been decided, but some time between October 18th and 31st. As soon as further details of the celebration are arranged, they will be given out through the local office. Drew and Howe, Great Runners. Bangor, Me.—Races under the auspices of the Oldtown A.

CITY AUDITOR COUGHLIN Also Favors the Street Extension Between Cedar and Central Avenues at E. 24th St., or E. 25th Place. Cleveland, June 7th, 1913. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Harry:—I am this morning in receipt of two marked copies of The Gazette in which you quote correspondence between Councilman Fitzgerald and Director of Public Service Springborn. In his letter of recommendation, he calls attention to the fact that we will offer the $12,000 of bonds, authorized by Council to be used for the extension of East 24th street, to the Sinking Fund. Mr. Fitzgerald recently called upon me to determine what might be done to sell these bonds. Unfortunately the rate of interest provided for these bonds is 4 per cent. Since the constitutional amendment taxing municipal bonds was approved at the September 1912 election, no one on County bonds have been sold at the time. 4-12 per cent, and there are instances very recently where Ohio cities offered 4-12 per cent, bonds for sale without a bid. Thomas Coughlin. The County of Cuyahoga has been unable to sell its Road bonds which carry a rate of 4 3-4 per cent. The flood, the fact that money is tight, and more particularly the fact that what were previously known as taxable securities, now must be returned for taxation is the cause of the present inactivity in the bond market. It is very doubtful if we could sell the bonds at 4 1-2 per cent. I assured Mr. Fitzgerald that I would submit the matter to the Sinking Fund Trustees in the hope that they may have the available cash, sufficient to take up these bonds. It is doubtful however, if this can be done in the immediate future as the Sinking Fund Trustees recently issued a lawsuit against the City of St. Louis for the provision bonds which enables us to go forward with the paving and sewing of streets, and as you are aware they bought $200,000 of the Municipal Electric Light bonds for the completion of the Electric Light Plant. This has taken up practically all of the available cash that the Trustees have received from the City, and in management, which will be in September or perhaps the latter part of August, it is very uncertain as to whether or not they could purchase additional bonds. I am quite sure that no member of the administration is opposed to the extension of this street. Personally, I should like to see all streets of this city as a testament to that assurance that if there is any probability of the Sinking Fund taking these bonds I will urge it strongly, and if the City offers any of its bonds for sale in the near future we will include this issue. Yours truly. THOMAS COUGHLIN, City Auditor WH NOT GET BUSY! And Compel One, the N. A. A. C. P. to Do What. Is Most Needed? We recall a play which we witnessed many years ago. In one of the scenes, a shipwreck, one of the actors exclaimed, "Water all around and yet not one drop to drink." Possibly no race of people under the sun has more "organizations" than the Negro race. And many of them enjoy the distinction of Biblical names. And yet with all our "organizations" we are not organized at all. Ten million Negroes and not really among them. They will not hang together, and consequently we are daily hung separately. One of the purposes of disfranchisement, segregation and jimcrowism is to force just such an organization as is needed. It will come. Of-this there can be no doubt. We need to feel a little more keenly the deep humiliation of such contrivances before we shall be thoroughly convinced that the Almighty answers our prayers by making ourselves the thing for which we pray. All of these contrivances will disappear and fall down as the walls of Jericho before any people who have found out the secret of unity of action.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger.

Mrs. Ada Felipe of Chicago, who was called to the city by the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. Amanda Pugh, 2307 E. 86th St., returned home Saturday, 8th in the another con. Among those who entertained Mrs. Felipe were Mrs. Kathrine Burrell, Mrs. J. Tate, Mrs. George Eighmie and C. S. Crossen. Twelve members of the "Deborah" class of St. John's S. S. were entrained last week Wednesday at Mrs. Chas. Robinson's, 8908 Blaine Ave. The bible was the book selected for the evening's study and the roll call was answered with bible verses. The books of the N. T. were discussed by Mrs. L. Cox; the major and minor prophets, by Mrs. Ina Perkins; a reading from Dunbar, Mrs. C. Johnson: a piano solo, Mrs. Mattie Biggs. Mrs. Ina Perkins, chairman of the program committee gave a summary of the work of the coming year. Three members who were to have been on the program, were absent.

Mrs. Mary Gailer of 2114 E. 53th St., entertained the following, at a very fine five course dinner, Sunday; Dr. and Mrs. J. K. Nickens and son, Armen G. Evans, and brother, Mr Seth. Nickens, Mrs. Elizabeth Baldwin and daughter, Ettice, in honor of her sister-in-law, Miss Mary F. Baldwin. Louise Canneville will either be vetoedian of the graduating class of Central High school, this year, or next to the honorable position. In either case, her position will be very creditable indeed. We hope, however, that she will be the valedictorian. She is daughter of M. A. J. Chemitt. Four daughters' tuition at Western Reserve Woman's College, is the price for the first place, and two years', for the second. The bill at the Ogden theater, this week, is extremely "classy" and has nothing in the way of "slapstick" comedy. Means & Means open the show with their teeth-lifting and balancing novelty act. Anderson & Holmes are a very successful band and their harmony singing meets with deserved recognition. The closing act on the bill is "The Pee Wees who open with a rapid-fire line of singing, talking and dancing, and then Mr. "Pee Wee" introduces his eccentric juggling which pleases immensely.

A few years ago a meeting of the leading women of all races, of the world, was held in Berlin, Germany. The only one to deliver an address in three languages (English, German and French) was M.

Our volunteer workers were conspicuous for their splendid work. Mrs. Thomas W. Fleming, captain of our team, No. 22, composed of Madames Cornelia F. Nickens, Henry Taylor J. A. Rogers, T. J. Hicks, J. S. C. Green, Y. W. Lemon, P. W. Lemon, Cornelia Joy, P. H. Harris, Rosa Brooks, C. H. Hale, and Dr. J. Rogers. C. H. Leatherman and Dr. J. Rogers, wishes to thank our people for their very general contributions to this worthy cause. There were 556 givers and they contributed the handsome sum of over $1,002.95 in pledges and cash. Mrs. Fleming elated over the honors given her team in securing the banner during each day of the campaign for the largest number of contributors, and wishes equal credit to be given to each member of the team for this success. Most of the white business men along Central Ave., gave their contributions with thanks to the Home for Aged People, by the Federation. Each day, last week and on Monday, the "teams" dined at the Chamber of Commerce where their daily reports were submitted beginning last Tuesday. Our team was the target of many very complimentary "We Got'Em" AT THE OGDEN THEATRE With Our Polite Vaudeville And Feature Photo Playlets. remarks by both individuals and speakers because of the grand and unexpected work it did, its excellent chairman and members being showered with unstinted praise from all sides. They deserved it all, too, because their good work has placed our people in this community in a position with the leading charity workers in the city and the public at large such as they have the coworkers on "team". No. 22 and entitled to and should be freely given great praise by all Afro-Americans in this community who are able to appreciate the splendid service they have rendered the Federated Charities directly and our people indirectly. Hats off to the ladies and Dr. Nahiem. One of the events of the dailyimer in which the Compere which was most impressed was a brief but telling talk on last week Wednesday in which Mrs. Fleming told the large audience of workers, there assembled, in a touching manner that her people were poor and small wage-earners as a rule and that a dollar contribution from one of them was equivalent to their $20 contribution. The applause that followed the utterance of this truth was spontaneous. Chas. W. Williams, executive secretary of the Cleveland Federation for Charity and Philanthropy, Mrs. Cornelia F. Nickens, president of the Home for Aged Colored People, appointed Mrs. Fleming captain of team, No. 22, all members of the board of lady managers of the H. for A. C.

The first of the race there to be so honored. Through the generosity of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago merchant prince and philanthropist, Chambers Clayton, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, has been appointed, at a handsome salary, to visit from time to time the smaller industrial schools of the south with a view of systematizing and making more uniform their system of bookkeeping. Jack Johnson's immoral conduct, with that white prostitute, Belle Schreiber, to whom the gown $1,000 of which has been his sentence of ill, and a fine of $1,000 has resulted in the introduction of two more anti-intermarriage bills in the Illinois legislature. Jack is "out on ball," pending an appeal of his case. We believe that Editor Harry C. Smith, manager and proprietor of The Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette is right when he declares that Dr. DuBois and the N. A. A. C. P. should give the same additional attention to the aggravating problems affecting us as a race such as namely: Distranchisement, jim-crow railroad cars, steamboats, that concern ALL the people and is a most aggravating practice and rule to our people. We agree with the Gazette to these words: "The big problems are: Disfranchisement laws, especially those based on the 'grandfather clause', and 'jim-crow' car laws, at least as far as they affect our inter state passengers. Come now, Editor Mitchell, what say you to this"³ "Mobile (Ala.) Weekly Presz." The "Conquest," the great narrative of the year, is a new book just received from the publishers, "The Woodruff Press," Lincoln, Neb. The book is substantially bound and contains 311 pages with sixteen full page half-tone illustrations. It is the soul of Colored boy who was at one time a sleeping car porter, but who desired to occupy "space in the world" and a "position on the map of human achievements." Accordingly he went west and "Conquest" is the story which he has given the world. The book costs $1.50 and is well worth a place in any library.

"PROVERB" THAT MADE A HIT Peck, Smith's Gem of Wisdom a Source of Pure Delight to His Relatives. A New England schoolma'am obtained a situation out in Arkansas, and became so successful that she determined to give an exhibition of her pupils' progress, and invited all their parents to be present on Friday evening. The entertainment moved satisfactorily to all concerned. "Now," said the teacher, toward the close, "I want every boy to repeat some proverb that he has heard. This is entirely impromptu," the teacher explained to the parents, "but I feel sure that the boys will do themselves credit, although they did not know in advance that they were to be called upon. Now, Johnnie, can you give an example of some old saying that you have found helped you? "All is not gold that glitters," replied Johnnie. "Very good. Very good indeed." "Be virtuous and you'll be happy," said Jimmie. "That's splendid. Why, you boys remind me so much of a school I once taught in Boston," responded the fair teacher. "The germ of ambition is the chrysalis of wisdom," said Willie. And so on down the class she went, until she got to Peck Smith. He wasn't very bright, and she intended to skip him, but he seemed anxious to say something, and she asked him if he knew any old proverb. He did. "A stump-tailed yaller dog is the best for coons," announced Peck; and the joy of his relatives reached such a pitch that his father paid a year's tuition in advance before he left the schoolhouse—Philadelphia Ledger. AFTER LINCOLN'S OWN HEART Man Who Could Beat War President at Telling Stories Got Appointment He Was Seeking. At least one man got ahead of Lincoln in a story-ielling contest. That was Anthony I. Bleecker, who went to Washington to apply for a position. He was asked to read his vouchers. Soon the president stopped him, saying he was like the man who killed the dog. He had kept on with the killing after the animal was good and dead. The applicant agreed that it was possible at times to do too much, and told the story of the converted Indian who found it hard to learn to pray for his enemies. The Bible was quoted to him: "If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire in his head." The convert thereupon began to pray most earnestly and at great length. He asked that his foe should have pleasant hunting grounds, many squaws, lots of papooses, and so on. The priest stopped him. He had done enough. Said the Indian: "Let me pray. I want to burn him down to the stump." It is said that Mr. Bleecker got the lob. 50TH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM, WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY JUNE 12-19, 1913. June 12th—Thursday, 7:30 p. m.—Annual address to the religious societies, Rev. A.

FOURNIER Texas" Russell is one of the few recruits of this season to "make good." Russell was picked up by Comiskey after he had shown unusual ability while playing with the Fort Worth team last fall. BASEBALL Fournier is rapidly getting to be a first-class fielding first baseman. The operation on Jake Stahl's foot is said to have been a complete success. Looks as though tall Cy Falkenberg is trying to win the flag for the Naps single-handed. Secretary Robert McRay of the Red Sox has become an ardent devotee of golf. Cooper, the young left fielder of the Baltimore club, is leading Dunn's club with the bat. Western league followers can foresee a close finish between the teams this year. Mike Kelly is proving himself to be a wizard as head of the Indianapolis team of the American association. Western newspapers are making almost as much fuss over the Federal league as they do over the two majors. Scotty Ingerton, who was once a Kid Elberfeld opines that Nap Lajoie hits the ball harder than any body else that ever took a bat in hand. "Fresh" Regh, the youngster whom the Pirates sent to St. Paul, hit for 400 in his first 11 games in the American association. Bobby Byrne, the Pirate third baseman, says he will not be a poorer batsman as the result of being hit by one of Joe Wood's shoots. Manager Connie Mack has only three players on his team who are hitting 300. Eddie Collins, Ira Thomas and Struck are the three. Pete Knisely, the heavy-clouting outfielder, who goes to the Birmingham team, should break up the Southern league this summer. There are so many has been major leaguers in the Federal league, that some persons are thinking of calling it the G. A. R. league. Big Jim Vaughan is pitching winning ball for the Kansas City Blues. He would hold the Highlanders this year if he were only with them now. "The Athletics do not display the flash of last season; they must improve to win the flag," says one Washington critic, who apparently believes what he is saying. Danny Murphy predicts the flag for the Athletics this year. Danny fears the Senators, though, and even concedes them a possible chance to beat out his team. Ty Cobb having advised ball players not to go on the stage, it is believed the patrons will raise a purse of $15,000 per annum if Ty can prevent these calamities. New York fans say that beating Washington these days is a grown-up man's task. They claim that the Senators play as if they knew the penant was within reach. Larry Lajoie beat out a bunt the other day, which feat called for full-faced type. A Lajoie bunt! Gee, don't you know what it is, anything that stays inside the fence. St. Paul has released Pitcher Elmer Steele, who failed to come back. Steele hopes his arm will get in shape with warm weather and he will make another try, possibly in the New York State league. Red Ames has lined up with George Wiltec to bear witness to the fact that the veteran Giant pitchers are still able to stand up and bring in a win or two. Matty, Ames and Wiltec may be making Marquard and Teasen blush yet. Two shortstops with wonderful arms are in the field together when Bill Stump of the New Yorks and Heine Wagner of the Red Sox, are in the game. Stump can whip the ball across with as much power as he noted Bostonian. Secretary Robert McRay of the Red Sox has become an ardent devotee of golf. Cooper, the young left fielder of the Baltimore club, is leading Dunn's club with the bat. Western league followers can foresee a close finish between the teams this year. Mike Kelly is proving himself to be a wizard as head of the Indianapolis team of the American association. Western newspapers are making almost as much fuss over the Federal league as they do over the two majors. Scotty Ingerton, who was once a member of the Cubs, has been sold by the Indianapolis club to the Louisville club. He is a great pinch hitter, but is too slow for a regular. Ganzel, son of Charley Ganzel, the old Detroit catcher, is Hugh Duffy's first baseman on the Portland team. Duffy says he has a club that will make the going very fast in the New England league. Bostonians now are calling little Maranville "the Rabbit." Also they are rising to proclaim that he is one of the very few men in the game who really can "place" a hit, which overcomes his inability to smash the ball quite as hard as some of his larger contemporaries. SPORTING WORLD Brown easily outpointed Wesleyan in their annual dual track meet, winning 68 to 58. Prizes won at the Olympic games at Stockholm by James Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian athlete, will be awarded to the men who finished second in the events. Coach Pat O'Dea of the Leland Stanford university oarsmen, is booming a project to pull off an international college boat race on Oakland estuary in 1915. Princeton won the intercollegiate gun championship with a sweeping victory over Yale and Dartmouth. The team scores were: Princeton, 407; Yale, 312; Dartmouth, 294. The announcement of the proposed revival of racing on the big tracks of the Empire state has resulted in a booming of the thoroughbred market of New York that has not been equaled since 1910. English polo hopes have received a severe setback through the injury of walter S. Buckmaster, rated head and shoulders above any of the challenging team. Buckmaster may be unable to play at all. An intercollegiate athletic meet will be held on/the lake front on July 1 and 2 in connection with the international athletic games under the auspices of the International Athletic Championships association. The Naval Academy tennis men defeated Swarthmore by taking four strings of singles and two of doubles. The midshipmen repeated their performance against Johns Hopkins and Dickinson by winning every set. Many critics believe that if the Army-Navy game is scheduled at the Polo grounds or any big baseball plant, that interest in the crack grid iron attraction will lag. The spectator will be taken too far away from the play to enjoy it. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. C. SATURDAY. JUNE 14. 1913 COOL TUB FROCKS FOR SUMMER WEAR White Season Is Predicted by Fashion Experts. Laundering Qualities the First Consideration—Summer Evening Coats Made in All Fabrics—Few Reach Below the Hips. It is a long time since summer frocks were so alluring as those that are being shown for the coming season. This is to be a white summer, so fashion authorities say, and a white summer means fresh, cool and becoming toilettes. Even white wool has a way of looking cool, and the average woman on a hot day will look cooler in a white serge than in colored gauze, however she may feel. Naturally, colors will not be taboo. All who want them may wear them, not only in 'soft, summery tints, but in vivid hues, startling to the eyes. For never has this generation seen color combinations and designs more brilliantly audacious than are shown in many of the new fabrics, particularly among the silks. Laundering Qualities Come First. The white tub frock, if it is really a tub frock, comes out from the lau- dering each time it is washed looking fresh and cool. Even if it is not mem- orably modish, those qualities continue to give it charm so long as it holds together. The woman who yields to the lure of the delicate pinks and blues and ilias and greens, or of the delightful, flowered cotton, which are so tempting in the first spring showing after a winter of dark skies and dark frocks, may have an attractive summer wardrobe, but it will be neither practical nor so economical as that of the woman who turns her back upon the flowery spring lines and buys the white that is not so bewitching in the hand, but is so emiliently satisfactory on the back. This season the wise buyer of white will find an unusual number of desirable white materials from which to make her choice. Whether she wishes to spend much money or little, the white goods counters will offer a satisfactory solution of her problem, and among ready-made frocks there are more pretty white models than in the ordinary season. The simple type of lingerie frock, for example, has improved amazingly. Not so very long ago it was almost impossible to buy for a moderate sum a sheer white tuf frock that was of good material and neatly and attractively made. The manufacturers tried to give too much for the money, piled cheap laces, cheap embroidery, cheap machine work upon coarse white lawn and achieved shoddy copies of lingerie models, copies that a woman of taste could not be persuaded to wear. If such a woman wanted a simple and inexpensive white lingerie frock she had it made at home. Better Models May Be Bought. But the designers and manufacturers have learned wisdom in the last few seasons. They still turn out overtrimmed cheap, showy models. Certain women like this sort of thing and must have what they like; but side by side with these shoddy frocks are other models, costing a little more; yet worlds above the others in point of taste. In a smaller specialty shop where the patronage is less mixed than in the big stores and where the models are chosen especially with a view to the requirements of the more fastidious customers the collection of lingerie frocks is really surprising and is encouraging to a woman whose dress allowance is small. Machine made, of course, these inexpensive models are, but they are carefully made. The materials are not of the finest, but are well chosen. The laces are imitation, but are selected effectively. The designs are unpretentiously good. Summer Evening Coats. Evening Coats. Although evening coats are the last problem of each season to be decided upon the powers that be there are now a plentiful supply on hand and they are particularly interesting because they are quite different from their predecessors of other seasons, either recent or old. The materials, of course, are just what one might expect except that if possible they are even lovelier in the form of evening coats than in the form dresses. The principal fabrics for the purpose are brocades of all kinds, poplins, crepes, satins, and a wonderful wiry crepe called Chinese, but brocaded like the others. Then, when the list of brocades is exhausted and the searcher has not yet found her ideal there are chiffons and so-called Bulgarian silks, or silks covered in a design that would shame a wall paper, but which are nevertheless greatly sought after at the moment. In shape the great majority of the coats are made on general kimono lines, though using the one piece as the basic idea, there are many modifications, and the length is the most surprising thing of all, for very few of them come far below the hips and very many are so short that they seem quite out of place among evening coats. Bright Colors Bound in Black. When the bright silks are used the entire wrap is cut from them and Platinum Counterfeiters' Metal. Platinum was a favorite metal with counterfeiters some years ago, when its intrinsic value was about $6 an ounce. Many spurious $10 and $20 United States gold pieces were turned out, composed chiefly of this metal. The coins of Great Britain have also been imitated in the same way. Properly Annotioned Property Appointment A birthday gift was given to a wife by her husband and three children. The youngest, a little ten-year- bound and trimmed in black or the process is reversed, which is, perhaps, the better way of the two. And then come the variations. It sometimes happens that a plain kimono coat that simply hang from the shoulders to the hips is too plain to suit the figure, but there is needed some suggestion of a curve here or a diagonal line to make the figure long or short, fat or thin. The desired effect then is provided by a piping of the material let into the body of the coat in any way that suits the requirements of the wearer. For instance, perhaps, the back looks too plain and the small collar is not sufficient. Then a square might run from the under arm seam up across the back or it might be a point. Or again, the back of it might be desirable to have it meet high in the center and then separate to give a yoke effect. All of this is possible and without in any way making the cutting or the sewing more complicated, for one has only to mark the line for the piping on the finished garment with chalk and then introduce it a little at a time so the material will not stretch. The line may also be made with equal facility in the front, and the result will be a coat entirely different and distinctive, in no way more difficult to make. The material for the pipings may match that of the coat or it might be a satin in the same shade or one shade deeper. In a black coat the introduced line could be of the flowered silks or it may be anything that happens to suit the desire of the wearer. No Bands on Longer Wraps. When the coats are longer than those described they are very often of very fine satins or embroidered ma I A gown of canary colored crepe de chine trimmed with a green belt and sash.—By Poiree, Paris. terials, including tinsel brocade, and while it is not intended for summer use it is so universally employed for every purpose that it would not be bad taste. In these longer wraps the band is omitted and the coat is cut longer in the back than in the front with drapery in front or else the fullness is pulled toward the back, where it is confined by a huge bow, either at the foot or the bottom of the wrap or at the knee line. Gold and silver embroidered black chiffon is used for a very pretty wrap which comes only to the hips and then is gathered into a band of black satin. The distinguishing feature is provided by a very delicate piping of cerise satin that gives outline to the figure and to the huge black chiffon bow under which the wrap fastens at the front. A wrap of coral color brocaded poplin is gathered at the hips into a band of the material that follows the cutaway line of the front is graduated to meet the collar, which extends, also graduated, to the waistline. The wrap fastens at the end of the collar with a huge button of the material. A coat of steel gray satin is cut very scantily from the waist down, where it is cut away at the front and into a deep curve below the knees at the center back. When the wrap is fastened it seems to strain round the hips and therefore it raises in folds at the back, an effect gained by the whole being cut on the bias of the fabric.

"This is Snooodle, 927 Ringbone avenue, and—" "Yes; what can we do for you, Mr. Snoo—" "Nothing this morning. Say, I've just received your circular containing the announcement that you're going to tack the usual increase of 10 cents a month on the price per ton, and that I'd better buy my next winter supply now, while it's at the bottom figure." "Well, I see by an item in a scientific paper I take that there's enough coal in the United States, making due allowance for the increase in population and coal consumption per capita, to last the country 5,000 years, and I've decided that I don't need to be in such a thundering hurry to get my next winter's coal in. I'll chance it. Good-by." Explaining the Needle. A typesetter in a printing house became very adroit in explaining the large number of misprints for which he was responsible. Even when he changed his work and became a waiter in a restaurant his skill did not for sake him. One day he had served a guest with a plate of soup and was turning away, when he was called back sharply. "This is an outrage!" cried the indignant diner. "I find a needle in my soul!

"Why," replied Edith, "I told him I was no agricultural experiment station."—Harper's Bazar. Anecdote of Zeuxis. Zeuxis, the celebrated artist of ancient Greece, had painted the cherries so true to life that the birds came and pecked at them. Of course, the rich pork packer who had paid $500,000 for the canvas couldn't stand for that. "Paint in a scarecrow!" he commanded, with an air of one accustomed to meet emergencies—Puck. Quitely Indorsing it. "We need to get together oftener, my friends," exclaimed the eloquent lecturer, "and to greet one another with a heartier handclasp!"

You see there is to be a Sunday school picnic next week and I will have to go along to carry the baskets and to pull the kids out of the river." "Aren't your refreshments rather scanty, dear?" "Only ultra-fashionable women are asked; a woman in a fashionable gown of today can't eat over four bites of anything." "The flood left her destitute, did it not?" "It left her worse than destitute." "How could it leave her worse than destitute?" "It left her her poodle." THE YOUTH'S COMPANION Literature with a purpose, entertainment with an ideal, information and incentive combined.
