Domestic David Lamar resumed the stand before the senate lobby committee at Washington at his taking up the recital of the motives back of his relations with Lauterbach. "I realize perfectly that my life and character are on trial," he began. He argued that his testimony and Lauterbach's had shown they were not engaged in any effort to get money from anyone. Two of the airboats to start from Chicago in the International Great Lakes Airboat cruise to Detroit, were washed ashore, helpless, in a violent windstorm.

SALVATION ARMY MATTERS. Commander Booth Issues Certificates to First Group of Afro-Americans The first group of Afro-Americans for Salvation Army work was recently commissioned in Washington by Commander Eva Booth. In the group are three women and three men under Adjuntant G. N. Roberts. These persons will be assigned to work among their own people. Their commission carries the rank of lieutenant. One of the new features of work which will receive immediate attention will be the plans for the erection of an industrial home in the District of Columbia with full equipment for all necessary industrial work in connection with the Salvation Army. Another plan for future consideration is the starting of a training home at some convenient point in the south. Afro-Americans will have entire charge of the home. Commander Booth is giving much time and thought to the new work and is very optimistic about its future development. The rule for lieutenants is that they must serve for three years before they can be promoted to the rank of captain. If a captain makes a good record he may be raised to the rank of an adjutant after seven years. This period of time gives ample opportunity for one to gain experience and become fully acquainted with all phases of the work. Sixty white persons also received the commission and will begin with the groom to the lieutenant. Adjutant G. N. Roberts spent the month of June in Washington giving instructions to the new force of assistants. SIDNEY WOODWARD'S WORK What a Well Known Solist and Educator Has Done. One of the most gifted singers in the race, who has had a long and interesting career both in America and in Europe, is Sidney Woodward, who is instructor of voice culture and piano work at Clark university, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Woodward is well known in musical circles of this country and is devoting a great deal of his time to the preservation of the Negro folk songs, to which he has given much study. Mr. Woodward has sung with eminent success in this country and abroad. He was born in Stockbridge, Ga., and his early education was obtained at Rust university. His musical education was perfected at the New England Conservatory of Music. He began his career as soloist at the White Congregational church in Boston. It was while in Chicago at the World's fair that Mr. Woodward came into national prominence as a singer. He spent two years abroad, appearing in Belgium, Holland and Germany. While abroad he studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music, from which he received a certificate for proficiency. Before going to Atlanta Baptist college he was at the head of the musical department of the Florida Baptist college at Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Woodward was in charge of the intercollegiate quartet, which sang at the international students' congress, recently held at Lake Mohonk, N. Y. NEW INTEREST TAKEN IN THE BORDENTOWN SCHOOL Aim of New Jersey Educators is to Help State Institution. The board of education at Trenton, N. J., has a tentative promise from Dr. Booker T. Washington to visit the State industrial school at Bordentown, N. J., some time in July. The object of the board in inviting Dr. Washington to visit the school is to get by personal contact his ideas and methods of conducting industrial schools, such as are used at the Tuskegee institute. The institution in Bordentown has excellent opportunities to do a great work among the colored youth of the state and those in close proximity to it. The present management has done well the past year, and this is considered an opportune time to perfect plans for the coming school year. The increase in the number of students is also another indication of renewed interest in the institution. The problem of larger and better equipment for the Northern industrial school has been one of much concern among those who have had to deal with educational affairs for a number of years. But the increase in the population of Afro-Americans in the various large cities north and the manifest desire among them for a liberal literary education or trade for their children has brought about a new awakening for special training along the most desirable lines. Another school in the state which bids fair to be of much usefulness is the Alpha Industrial institute at Cranford. It differs from the Bordertown school principally in the fact that it is not thus far in any way supported by the state, but is carried on under the auspices of the Baptist denomination. It recently held its first commencement and graduating exercises. Summer Normal Schools Prove Helpful Under the direction of state institute conductor, Professor C. A. Ives, the summer normal schools for colored teachers in Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Delhi, La., are making the progress. The session will close on Friday, July 18. The conductors for the different schools are Professors T. H. Cane, J. S. Clark and I. S. Power. The course of study and review is admirably adapted to the needs of the teacher in the various departments of city and rural schools in the south. LEADER AMONG THE BAPTISTS Denomination In Oklahoma Honors Dr. S. S. Jones. FOREMOST IN UPLIFT WORK Pioneer Missionary in Early History of the State Given Lenghty Ovation by Sunday School Congress For Special Services in Its Behalf—Great Organizer and Financier. Muskogee, Okla.—"Leader of the Baptists of Oklahoma" is the distinction won by the Rev. S. S. Jones, president of the Baptist state convention and one of the prime factors in the uplift of the race in this section of the country. He has made his way to the front by hard work and diligent study. Born in Tennessee, Dr. Jones was deprived of parental care in early life and had to make his way almost single handed. He had a determination to be something in life. So with that end in view he entered the public school and devoted his time in study, making each day count for something. He declared, "I will find a way to the top or make one." While thus struggling Rev. Mr. Jones felt that there was a great responsibility resting upon him. He was converted and felt that he was called to preach and that it was his duty to prepare for such a high calling. Through REV. DR. S. S. JONES. the aid of the Home Mission Society of New York he was able to enter a theological seminary and remained until he had finished his course of study. Feeling that he was fully prepared for his work, he stepped out into life with great ambition and self reliance. His first field of active labor was in Oklahoma, being directed hither as missionary for the entire territory. This was in the early days of Oklahoma. There was work to be accomplished, and he took hold of it with a determination to do something for the cause and his race. He passed through many hardships, as one will in the opening of a new country. On the railroads, in wrecks, broken down trains and other trying experiences only served to spur him on his work. Hard and earnest toll brought to him many friends. The First Baptist congregation of Muskogee, that had been trying for some time to get up a church building, failed under many pastors. It finally extended a call to Dr. S. S. Jones. The church owned valuable property and wanted only a leader. Rev Dr. Jones proved to be the right man for the place. When he took hold of the church many declared that it was impossible to complete the edifice. They were holding services in the basement, and the church was known as "the hote in the ground" and was unpopular in the city. Like a John the Baptist crying in the wilderness, he stood preaching to the people, who flocked to hear him in great numbers. His first sermon was not preached in the church, but out in the open air. The church is now valued at $60,000 and the parsonage at $3,000. During the national Baptist Sunday school congress the church was equipped with seats at a cost of $1,500. Dr. Jones was chairman of the local committee on entertainment for the Sunday school congress and did his work nobly. His welcome to the thousands of delegates and visitors to the congress was received with great enthusiasm. So great was the ovation given Dr. Jones that it was several minutes before he could proceed with his speech. For some time Dr. Jones has been the leader of the Baptists of the state, numbering 55,000, is president of the state convention and has the confidence of the ministers making up the convention. His leadership is highly regarded, and when he speaks the Baptists hear him and are ready to follow his lead for the betterment of his people. Dr. Jones is editor of the Baptist Informer, the official organ of the Muskegue Baptists, and has made a reputation as an editor as well as a pastor and financier. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. LAWYER FRANCIS' OPINION. Railroad Rate Case Similar to Ordeal of Colored Americans In a recent interview Attorney William T. Francis of St. Paul gave the following as his opinion of the probable effect of the decision of the United States supreme court in the Minnesota rate case. The interview was obtained by the editor of the Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star. Lawyer Francis said: "As I have had no opportunity to read the decision it is necessary to depend wholly upon newspaper reports of it, and if they are correct then I view with alarm the doctrine of state rights laid down in that decision. "The decision, being against the railroads, meets what is known as popular favor or public sentiment, but public sentiment, like a baby, sometimes cries for that which is against its best interests. Railroad corporations, because of the very nature of their business and the fact that they traverse so many different states, ought to have but one controlling power with authority to fix rates. Plainly the cost of operation differs in every state. It is higher in Montana than it is in Minnesota, higher in Washington than Dakota. "Federal control of railroads is the correct solution of the railroad problem, and if this decision had been in favor of the railroads consummation of that theory would have been hastened. "But the railroad companies, like the Negro, are passing through a period of persecution in response to a popular desire to hamper their progress, just as it is popular now to cry out against all Negroes for the sins and misconduct of the few." Seeing that Mr. Francis was about to launch into a lengthy discussion on the rights of the people and the railroads, the question was asked. "Do you think that this decision, if it upholds state rights, will affect the Negro in any way?" "Decidedly I do," he replied, and said further: "If the states have the right to six rates independent of the interstate rates it must follow that the railroads cannot make an interstate rate that would be in excess of the state rate. "It has long been the hope of many prominent Negro lawyers that the doctrine of state rights, particularly so far as interstate commerce is concerned, would not be sustained when the question was put squarely before the United States supreme court, but from the newspaper reports of the decision it appears that we can no longer hope for help in our fight against Jimcrow laws through that source. "If we are not able to destroy the effect of Jimcrow laws upon the interstate commerce theory then we are indeed in a helpless condition, and the case of Dr. J. W. Thompson versus the Pallman company et al., recently argued in the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Paul, must fall." Attorney Francis was for many years chief clerk of the legal department of the Northern Pacific railway, and on account of his broad knowledge of the history of the rate case we hold his opinion as valuable information to our readers. FISK UNIVERSITY NOTES. Trustees of the School Encouraged by Hearty Responses to Relief Fund. The trustees and friends of Fisk University, Nashville Tenn., are much encouraged over the prospects for relieving the institution from its present financial embarrassment. At the recent commencement exercises of the university it was announced that $250,000 had been subscribed, of which $175,000 is pledged by the general education board, and toward the remaining $50,000 of the fund $36,000 has been pledged on condition that the balance be immediately secured. The Alumni association, students and faculty of the institution have given in cash and pledges the sum of $36,600. It is believed that such loyalty to the school as this, such heroe giving as is here manifested, will prompt others to give generously and thus save to the colored race one of the best institutions of learning for its people anywhere in the United States. Union University Confers Degrees. At the recent commencement of Virginia Union university the degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon seven young men—James M. Bracy, Messrs. John E. Briggs, James Hugo Johnston, Jr., Chandler Owens, C. M. Stewart and Henry B. Hailferro, Virginia, and Luscious L. McGee, Tennessee. Upon James A. Bivates the degree of bachelor of theology was conferred upon Richard H. Bowe of Alabama; Adolphine Hobbs, Richmond; John Paul Rier, Paramaritam, Guinea, and John E. Wright, Norfolk. The honorary degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon the Rev. J. H. Randolph, Washington, and the Rev. T. M. Allen, Ashland, Va. Pittsburgh True Reformers Celebrate. The Pittsburgh division of the Grand Mountain of the United Order of True Reformers celebrated the twenty-fourth anniversary of the order in Pittsburgh during the week ending July 5. The services began on Sunday, June 29, with a sermon by Dr. George B. Howard at the Central Baptist church, of which he is the honored pastor. In the evening the order was present in a body at the Metropolitan Baptist church under the lead of the president and grand worthy master, Flord Ross of Richmond, Va. The celebration closed with a big banquet at True Reformers' hall, on Frankstown avenue, east end. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BANKS ARE FORCED TO SHUT UP DOORS Large Institutions Are Now in Receivers' Hands. COURT WOULD PROTECT FIRMS Deputy Controller of Currency Says He Made Move in Order to Protect Depositors and All Other Interests. Pittsburgh, Pa.—The First-Second National bank of Pittsburgh, the First National bank of McKeesport, a neighboring city, the American Water Works & Guarantee Co., and the banking house of J. S. and W. S. Kuhn, incorporated, of this city, were forced into the hands of receivers by the failure of the first named institution to open its doors Monday morning. The closing of the First-Second National bank was ordered by the deputy controller of the currency, T. P. Kane, after every effort had been made to meet government requirements as to legal reserve. The Kuhn banking house has extensive interests in irrigation projects throughout the west and mines and traction systems throughout western Pennsylvania, besides being a dominant factor in the American Water Works & Guarantee Co. W. S. Kuhn was president of the First-Second National bank, vice president and director in the banking house, and vice president and director of the American Water Works & Guarantee Co., besides being a director of the McKeesport bank. Would Save Big Firms. J. S. Kuhn was a director of the First-Second National bank, president and director of the American Water Works & Guarantee Co., president and director of the McKeesport bank and chairman of the board of directors of the banking house. When it was learned that the banks would have to suspend business steps were taken to protect the American Water Works & Guarantee Co., and the Kuhn's banking house, and application was made in the federal court in the afternoon for receivers for both institutions. Throughout the day a statement of the banks' and affected companies' affairs was awaited with anxiety, but none was forthcoming until at night, when Mr. Kane issued the following formal statement: "At a meeting of the directors of the First-Second National bank held on Sunday, the condition of the bank and the results of the recent investigation of the bank examiners were discussed. After full consideration the directors declared their inability to make good the bank's impaired capital and without dissent decided that it would be best for the protection of depositors and all other interests to have the controller of the currency take charge and to arrange for the liquidation of the bank. The Pittsburg clearing house committee, which has been engaged for the past four days in going over the affairs of the bank with the examiners and in making a careful investigation as to its condition, refused to furnish funds sufficient to justify the bank in keeping its doors open and agreed under the circumstances there was no alternative to the course recommended by the bank's directors. The officers of the bank have expressed to the department the belief that t.ere will ultimately be but little if any loss to the bank's depositors. The liquidation of the bank and the distribution of its assets will proceed as expeditiously as possible. Run on Bank. In the early hours of the day a run was made on the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings, another Kuhn institution, because of the climax in the affairs of the First-Second National. All demands up to $50 were paid without question and notice for larger amounts were asked running 30, 60 and 90 days, according to the amount demanded by the depositors. This institution also made a statement that it had $5,000,000 in cash and quick assets and was prepared for any emergency. The run was over before the closing of the banking hours. The former First-National bank, which was accredited as one of the strongest banks in the country, was merged with the Second National bank in March, the merged institution taking the names of the two banks. All that time Oscar Telling, formerly of the controller's department, who was president of the First National, was made vice president, and W. S. Kuhn then of the Second National bank, was made president. The affairs of the First-Second National are in the hands of C. C. Murray, who has been appointed receiver. Naval Prisoner Gets Away Boston, Mass.—A naval prisoner from Fort Royal, brought here late at night on the steamer City of Memphis from Savannah, broke from his guards and leaped into the harbor before the ship reached her dock. Searchlights from the revenue cutter Gresham and from an incoming excursion boat failed to disclose the man, though the marine guard fired one volley at what they thought was a head bobbing in the water. The name of the prisoner was not made known by officers in charge. 450 C HARRIS & EWING Congressman Doremus of Michigan, who has been elected chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, is new to national public life, but is a young man of great capacity and energy. VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL TALKS Asserts That the American Producer Ought to Forget Congress for Next Ten Years, Thereby Voicing James J. Hill's Idea. Philadelphia, Pa.-Vice President Marshall in a remarkable interview here declared that in his belief the American business man is justified in maintaining special paid representatives at Washington for the purpose of watching legislation. He also asserted that the American business men should forget congress for the next 10 years. He said that in this he had the same idea as James J. Hill, who said recently that the best thing for American business would be to abolish congress for 10 years. "Bound to Spend Money." Bound to Spend Money. The lobby investigation is being conducted by a committee of the senate, of which the vice president is the presiding officer. But he says that, "As American business is being run at present the business man is bound to spend money and to have a representative near the Capitol." "I am not saying whether this money is spent honestly or not," said Vice President Marshall. But he stated there is such a thing as legitimate expenditure for lobbying. "When business is in a state of mind where it regards congress as the best place to spend money doors every day," he continued, "you are going to have money spent around the Capitol. The big business men are going to have their representatives in Washington. I think the great principle of the present lobby investigation by the senate committee is to clear the air and prove that it is not necessary to depend on congress for business prosperity. I am not commenting on any men involved in the probe. It would not be fitting. But I will say that the spending of money about the Capitol by the men who stand for business is only the natural outgrowth of the business man's attitude. It is to be expected that business men will spend big sums when they think their interests are so closely wrapped up in legislation. These sums may be spent properly and they may not. The principle is that they are bound to be spent; and that is a part of the business system as conducted under the present ideas of the American business man that they be spent. Says "Forget Lawmakers." Says "Forget Lawmakers." "The American business man ought to forget the lawmakers. He does not need to depend on this law or that. It only hurts him as a successful producer. The 'lobby-will end naturally when the business man stands on his one foot to give and take with the whole world. There is need for alarm in regard to our business. Markets being opened in South and Central America will give us enough trade to keep every factory in this country running 24 hours a day six days in the week. The lobby investigation and the new tariff are simply going to force the American business man to show what he can really do and to get rid of the idea that his business depends on congress. I do not think we shall ever have free trade. My idea is that we shall reach the level of the Walker tariff, in force before the civil war in which the duties were on a basis of 20 per cent ad valorem. This much tariff is necessary for revenue." Folding Bed Hurts Pastor Greeley, Col.-A folding bed in which the Rev. J. L. Thompson of this city was sleeping folded during the night and the minister had a narrow escape from death. The whole town is laughing and wondering what the preacher said when he battled fiercely to free himself from the malicious bed. As it is he is confined to another bed (nonfolding) with a badly sprained back and is suffering from numerous bruises and strains received during the battle with the silent and merciless foe. One Year. $1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. .50 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or registered letter. Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter Address all communications to HARRY C. SMITH Editor and proprietor, THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, C. Member Ohio Legislature: 1894 to 1896; 1896 to 1898; 1900 to 1902 Fisk University's Afro-American laudress gave that school $1,000 recently. The proprietor of the Hotel Emerson, Baltimore, Md., has sent his five French chefs back to France, and re-employed Afro-Americans. New York's Emancipation celebration Commission, appointed recently by Gov. Sulzer, is in a row, already. Too bad. The National Negro Press Association should have an editor as president. It would materially raise the "tone" of that organization. E. R. Belcher, deputy U. S. collector of the Port, at Brunswick, Ga., has been "fired" by the Wilson (Democratic) administration because he is a member of the race. "Twas ever thus. The democrats at Washington, D. C., are gradually forcing out of office, Recorder of Deeds Henry L. Johnson and Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier, as well as many of their Colored Clerks. Our wealthy men of Muskogee, Okla, poured thousands of dollars into the People's Bank and Trust Co., of that city, to prevent a "run on the bank" from ruining it, recently. This is race loyalty of the right kind. The trustees, faculty, alumni and friends of Fisk University are to be congratulated on the completion of the arduous task of raising $380,000 to free the institution from debt and increase the endowment fund. Admiral Henry De Coata in charge of the Brazilian battleship "Minas Geraes," "the finest officer in the navy of that country," is Colored. Most of his crew are, also, the "Minas Geraes" was in N. Y. harbor recently on an official visit to the U. S. The Evansville (Ind.) Courier (daily) says Dr. Geo. W. Buckner of that city, is sure of the appointment as Minister to Liberia, Africa. He has the active support of Senators Shively and Kern, and Congressman Lieb of Indiana. Where, O, where! these trying days, is the glib "Negro democrat" of last fall? While the race is being struck in its vital parts by the Wilson administration, he is in the "tall uncut timber of the political wilderness" anxiously awaiting a "job"—he will not get. The U. S. government is evidently intent upon proving the assertion to be true, which stated the fact that Jack Johnson is not being merely prosecuted but verily persecuted in its courts. The prosecuting attorney's remarks, those of his deputies and even a very conspicuous sentence in Judge Carpenter's announcement of the penalty, show that after all it DOES make a difference, in our courts, if you are "white" or "black." Shamefully true! Politically or rather officially decapitated: W. H. Lewis, assistant U. S attorney-general, $4,000 a year; Rob Ert Smalls, collector internal revenue $4,000; Ralph W. Tyler, fourth auditor; $4,000; Jos. H. Lee, collector internal revenue, $2,000; W. D. Johnson, special agent of department of agriculture, $2,000; Charles Cottrell, collector at Honolulu, $4,000. A number of Afro-American deputy collectors and clerks in these offices have been removed and replaced by white Democrats. The aggregate salary lost to the race, so far, is over $50,000 a year. So much for the election of a democratic President who has yet to make his first Afro-American appointment. Thus far, he has done for us even less than Taft did in the same length of time, and has hurt us even more than his predecessor did in the same time. WHERE THE BLAME RESTS. Speaking of Bishop G. S. Smith's recent Wilberforce commencement address, "The Noachian Curse," Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond (Va.) Planet, pertinently remarks: "He (Bishop Smith) advocates the need of a newspaper of national scope, that the London Times is to the English people. He forgets though that the fundamental steps in this direction must be the support of the race journals now in evidence; that we cannot leap into the air upon a moment's notice; that a people who will not support and read a journal at $1 and $1.50 per year, will not support and read a paper at $8.50 per year. "If the leaders, the ministers of the people, the lawyers, the physicians, the dentists, the professors and instructors of the country, the businessmen describe their lives weekly journal in their homes and pay for the same, how can the rank and file be expected to do it?" "Tell it, brother; tell it." The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! There is not one publication in this country that our people are supporting as they should, and what we are not supporting is what we are. We have not better papers, worked otherwise, simply because enough of our people are not yet able to appre clate the need and value of monthly, weekly or daily newspapers that plead their cause, defend and encourage them, and fight their battles. Our papers are just what our people make them. THE CAT LET OUT OF THE BAG! After the verdict of the jury in the Johnson case, the assistant state attorney of Chicago, H. Perkins, delivered an unectious sermon to the reporters in which he "let the cat out of the bag." Granting that the case looked to be rather "a persecution than a prosecution," at least as far "as Johnson was concerned personally," paraphrasing and misappropriating a noble word of Emerson, spoken on a fitting subject; it is "to go as a protest against miscognition," as this official "brays" before the reporters of a city, most of whom did their utmost best to impress the race of the accused as an item of importance in the issue. Now the miscegenation part of the affair is non existent; for neither was it charged nor could it be charged in Illinois where intermarriage of people of different races is not yet an offense against any law. It may be, in fact, the Johnson case has been utilized to make for a law to interdict marriage. The whole argument of the state attorney was to the prejudice, not to the reason of the jury. RUSSIAN METHODS IN THE U. S. NO INDIGNATION AT THAT! There was something like a riot in Champaign, Ill., on July 6, when a raid was made by the police on one Ray Williams, a "bootlegger," at whom the "good people of this university town" were incensed. It was at first stated that the culprit were a Negro, and the "respectable citizens" were just preparing an attack on the Negro settlement, when the authorities gave out the news that Williams was a "white man." The "law-abiding" citizens, who were just on the eve of acting as their "moral ancestors" in Europe did in ancient days, when after rioting these "christians," would sack the Jew quarters to cool down their moral (?) indignation at the act of some gentile scene like the one contemplated in Champaign (in Lovejoy's, Lincoln's and Ingersoll's state) and actually carried out somewhere in these United States every week or so, are "Russian to the core." SPOILING GOOD WORK. The good work in connection with the conviction of the black pugilist, Johnson, for violating the white slave act is being spoiled by some of the foolish utterances of one of his prosecutors and others. These gentry rejoice in the conviction because they hold it is the first act of a series that is to come. The country will teach these black folks the evil of miscegenation. Now the Johnson case had nothing at all to do with micagenation. It was a case of white slavery. It was a case of black micagenation all to do with the pugilist's marriage of a white girl. The next thing is that it is entirely wrong to the Negro race in this country to take this pugilist as a type of the race. The Negroes are not so proud of him that they should be made to bear the burden of his sins. The conviction of this man may have been made easier because of the fact that he was black. Some of his friends have claimed as much. This sort of talk by the attorney who prosecuted him and others makes it look a little likely. The matter was all of a crime which was shown him to be wallowing in the lowest swamps of immorality. Whatever his punishment within the law, it will be useful as an example. This question of white slavery is sufficiently serious in itself to be considered all by itself. There is no excuse for dragging in other matters which are mainly the growth of prejudice. The conviction of Johnson is not intended to teach the blacks a lesson any more than the white. Indeed, from the viewpoint of the white slave traffic, the whites should heed the norms for it in the first place, business of trafficking human flesh is pursued more by whites than by blacks. There is no room for doubt on this point. In the second place, if there were any doubt, the assumed superiority of the white race ought to evidence itself in freedom from anything quite as disgustingly indecent as the white slave traffic. So, while the first premises of the attorney of the influence of the color question in the prosecution is untrue, his conclusion is equally untrue. All good citizens, white and black, will join in the fight against the vultures who deal in human flesh. Slavery of the white slave kind will not be tolerated in this land. The conviction of the black pugilist is merely an illustration of the working of the law. We trust that other offenders will also receive their just deserts—Erie (Pa.) Dispatch. A German inventor announces that he has contrived a bullet proof chest protector. Too bad it's so late in the season. Think of the demand for it among deer hunters! A Hindoo, visiting this country, says the police of New York are too tough. Their methods are crude when compared to those of the thugges. According to government statistics, more bachelors than married men go insane. Why not? Many married men have their thinking done for them. Perhaps it is true that a Chicago man found a $300 pearl in a clam, but we should hate to make a living that way if we had to eat clams. Only a small man would hide behind a woman's skirts, and with the present fashion only a small man can. The motto of the average American is: "I care not who is descended from kings, as long as I can hold 'em." Among others there is the man who decides that keeping up a diary for four days running is enough. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1913. OUR STATE FEDERATION. DUKEVE LETTERS Mr. W. Of Women's Clubs Have A Very Successful Annual Meeting—Officers Elected—Etc. Oberlin, O.—The annual meeting of our State Federation of our Women's clubs which was held here last week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in Mt. Zion church was well attended at every session and the business of the Federation well cared for. For about three hundred persons attended the meeting on Friday, day evening, and listened to an interesting program. In his welcome to the village Mayor Yocum spoke of the favorable attitude Oberlin had always held toward the Afro-American. The welcome on behalf of our citizens by T. A. Bows, and the word of welcome from the club by Mrs. Effie Copes Baxter, were very cordial. The response by Miss Hallie Q. Brown was very positive. The greeting from the O. F. of W. C. by Mrs. Huckins, gave much encouragement. Wednesday's session, at 9 a. m., was principally taken up by the reading of delegates' and officers' reports for the year. The afternoon session began at 2 p. m. and after completing the various reports, the business of the assembly was carried over until Thursday morning, the President at that time giving her annual address. Next was the "Memories" of three of the noted women of the race who died during the year: Mrs. Fanny J. Coppin of Philadelphia who had spent a life-time teaching and aiding the people of the race—a graduate of Oberlin College. Mrs. J. Silone Yates of Missouri who lived in Chicago as a home for incorrigible Colored girls. Mrs. Harriet Tubman, who so nobly and bravely assisted slaves in escaping. A eulogy of these three noted women was given by Miss Hallie J. Brown of Wilberforce. The assembly was entertained Wednesday evening by a fine concert. of Wilberforce. The assembly was Wednesday evening by a fine concert. Thursday, an interesting program was given. Mrs. John Berry read an enjoyable paper on "Woman with a Purpose"; Mrs. Minnie Jamison of Columbus, chairman of the temperance department, spoke on "The Life Saving Station"; Miss Hughes of Columbus, read the "Octoonor", all of which was greatly enjoyed. A general summary of the Afro-American in fiction, and what he has been to the historical and scientific world, was ably handled by Mrs. Saunders of Toledo, chairman of Dunbar's Poems" was given by Mrs. McWilliams of Toledo, which was followed by an address on "Work of the Humane Department" by Mrs. Hattie Fairfax of Cleveland. The club song and musical demonstrations were interesting features of the afternoon. A children's hour and the completion of unfinished business made up the session. The evening session was probably the most enjoyed of all the meetings. In opening, a chorus was sung by the Olin musical Club. A bloody piano recital of his descriptive works by Miss Ella Alexander of Cleveland, was greatly enjoyed. The newly elected officers were then enlisted and a love-feast followed. The officers are: President—Mrs. Minnie Scott, Lima; First Vice-President—Mrs. Margaret Barnes, Oberlin; Second Vice-President—Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders, Toledo; Recording Secretary—Miss Ada Stewart, Toledo; Assistant Recording Secretary—Miss Anne Hughes, Columbus; Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Carrie Bowles, Plaqua; Treasurer—Mrs. Eleanor Alexander, Chapman—Mrs. Elizabeth Culpher, Salem; Organizer—Mrs. Elizabeth Alston, Plqua; Musical Director—Miss Eleanor Alexander, Cleveland; Head of Publicity Department—Mrs. Minnie Waters, Cincinnati. The session closed by the rendering of "Good Night" from the opera "Martha" by the Oberlin Musical Club. The program and the enthusiasm as a result of it shown throughout the convention, was prime evidence of the ability of our club women of Oberlin to perform well. Although it was a difficult undertaking, but the local members proved themselves competent by arranging and carrying out a program of an unusually high order. The visiting delegates extended a vote of thanks for their excellent treatment during their stay in town. PRESIDENT GROSSMAN EXPLAINS. Cleveland, July 3. 1913. Editor GAZETTE, Dear Sir: The reason of not putting on the help we thought was absolutely necessary, was caused by reasons entirely beyond our control, namely: business has taken a decided drop as compared to what it was ago, the main reason being the summer full. Business, we expect will commence to pick up shortly, and believe me, as soon as we have any opening we have made all arrangements to put in the girls you and Mrs. Blanche Gilmore have been so kind to solicit for us. Trusting this explanation will be satisfactory, I beg to remain. Yours very truly. S. GROSSMAN. President, The Grossman Paper Box Co. 1729 to 1745 Superior Ave. JACK NOT TO LOSE HIS BOND Judge Carpenter Finds No Precedent Authorizing 185 Forfeiture Chicago, Ill.—Federal Judge Carpenter has refused to grant District Attorney Wilkerson's petition for the forfeiture of the $30,000 personal bond of "Jack" Johnson. Instead, he set the date for the hearing of the "MII waukee indictments," on which the fighter signed this bond to secure his liberty, for October 13. No precedent was issued against him as a defendant warrant him in forfeiting the defendant's bonds because he had left the jurisdiction of the court. Forfeiture was customarily made, he said, only when a defendant failed to appear in court at the time of trial. Benjamin C. Bachrach, attorney for Johnson, said he did not expect the fighter to return before January. Johnson's bond, now, is $15,000. The departure of Jack Johnston for Europe will certainly throw a lot of "speed" officers, lawyers, courts and reporters out of a job for a while. Jack was always good for at least one arrest on a dull day. J. A. TAYLOR. Says the Old Grouch It's the people who have no child, who like to write poems about em.

Garfield, former member of the Roosevelt cabinet, representing the widow and other beneficiaries of the estate of George Queen, petitioned probate court, this week, to remove Thomas O. Queen, brother of the testator, as administrator of the estate. George Queen died early in the year leaving an estate estimated at $20,000 acquired during his services as porter on the special car of John Newell, former president of the Lake District. The heirs allege that the administrator is not qualified by education to perform the duties of the office. This is unfortunate in our judgment, Tom O. Queen will make an excellent administrator of his deceased brother's property. He has the intelligence, ability, is honest and careful and loyal, and a good man. We hope our courts sustain him.

The Board of Lady-Managers of the Old Folks' Home, represented by Mrs. Cornelia F. Nickens, Mrs. Rosa Brooks and Mrs. Miner Harris, met with the men's Auxiliary, Sunday afternoon, at Clayton hall and discussed a new Home. The State Federation of W. C. will meet next year at Steubenville. The banner for raising the largest amount of Woman's day money was again awarded to Cleveland—to the Priscilla club. Next week The Gazette will publish a supplementary Oberlin letter on the O. F. W. C. meet, there, last week. The Young Men's Progressive Association's July 4 celebration at the White City, attracted about 1,000 people from this and nearby cities. All had an enjoyable time. The Association was also able to mobilize for the urban weather and the consequent street car trouble. Through cars to and from Euclid Beach do not stop at White City. The Association did as it agreed and made the affair a success as far as it was in its power to do so. Miss Emma Howell, sister of Mr. W. R. Howell, and her friend, Mrs. L. R. Rogers of Cleveland, Ohio, were visitors here during our recent commencement season, and received many attentions at the hands of the faculty. Mrs. Warren Logan, who has been visiting in Boston, New York and Cleveland, returned to the Institute this week to be the daughter.

Robinson, arrested June 1, for an alleged criminal assault on a little five year old "white" girl, and about whom local papers stated a lynching was only averted because of the arrival of the police, was last week sentenced to 60 days at "Warrenville." There was a great deal of race-hatred generated during the trial, and notwithstanding the little girl testified, on cross examination, that Robinson had done nothing to her and that she had never seen him before, the jury returned a verdict for assault and battery. Robinson was defended by Attorney Theo B. Green, who is to be praised for his interest and good work in the case, as well as the race loyalty he displayed. Same old story; the Ogden theater packed to the doors and a crowd which extended to the street-car tracks in the middle of Central Av, awaiting an opportunity to purchase tickets and get in to see one of the very best vaudeville and picture shows in the city. This was the case again all this week. Why? Because the "show" is fine; because the order maintained in the pretty and neat theater is the best; because we ogden theater or assistant Mornery experienced entertainers themselves, know how to treat people properly and do it; because the seats in the theater are roomy and comfortable, and a dozen other "causes."

ROSEMOND. JOHNSON: WEDS Miss Nora Floyd Abroad—May Yohe in the "Revenue." London, England.—Since May Yohe has been appearing in the London Opera House "revue," Lord Francis Hope, once her husband, has twice taken a box with friends to see her performance. The revue is still running, and remains easily the most attractive show of its kind in London. The one hundredth performance was celebrated this week by the wedding of J. Rosemond Johnson, the composer of most of the songs and music, and Miss Floyd Floyd of Saxonville, Fla. Miss Floyd is an accomplished musician, who has collaborated with Johnson in the composition of most of his songs, notably with the great success, "Take Me in Your Arms" her mother, and "The Wife of Capt. I. W. Floyd, and was married to Johnson at a registry, last week Thursday. Johnson, too, is a native of Florida, and was associated, on the stage, with Bob Cole, the comedian, until the latter's death, a couple of years ago. He and Miss Floyd are Afro-Americans May Yohe and the members of the "revue" company are "whites." Have You Any of These Copies? Mrs. Clara J. Craft of the Western Reserve Historical society, writes The Gazette, under the date, May 22, 13: "The Gazette is a rare example of an almost complete file from vol. 1, No. 1, Aug. 25, 1833, to date. I will name the few missing numbers: Jan. 11, 1890; July 6, 1849; Aug. 24, 1855; Aug. 15 and Dec. 26, 1896; Jan. 23, 1897. Only six numbers in thirty years is a fine record. Of course, we would be very glad to secure them. We will gladly show you our newspaper files and library if you will call." If any of our readers can and will send Miss Craft any or all of the missing numbers of The Gazette, we will greatly appreciate it as well as the Western Reserve Historical society of Cleveland, O.

There was a wait of five minutes and the man at the counter laid a roast beef sandwich in front of him. "I didn't order this!" yelped the customer. "Bring me a ham'neg sandwich!" Another wait, and the counter man presented the exasperated customer with a cup of cocoa. The overwrought business man pulled his derby down over his ears and headed for the door. "Where are you going?" demanded the counter man. "To a restaurant where the cook doesn't gamble with the food!" snapped the overwrought citizen, as he disappeared. A good tonic for the girl who is short on ambition and long on frivolities is reading biographies of men and women who have "arrived" after hard ups and disheartening downs. They reproach her for accepting the limitations of her lot, and sometimes inject into her mind a healthy bacillus of discontent. The girl who enjoys biographies enjoys achievement, and vice versa, for the latter point to the former as a source of inspiration and enlightenment. It is best to read of the doings of such men and women who have reached the top in your own line of work, for these make the strongest appeal to your will, and if you cannot read between the lines and pick out pointers for yourself you will at least feel the unexpected challenge to perk up and do likewise, if not a little better—Exchange.

We wish to express our thanks, to our many friends and relatives, for their kindness and sympathy in our late bereavement—the death of our beloved mother, Mrs. Sallie Burks, who passed away, June 27, 1913, at the age of 37 years, after an illness of eight long weeks' suffering. Mrs. Burks was the mother of thirteen children of which nine are living—three W. H. H. daughters and six sons who were pall bearers. She had lived in Cleveland for the past twenty-three years with her children—since the death of her husband, John Burks. Her youngest daughter, Mrs. Bettle Graves, was constantly at her bedside, night and day. Her late residence was at 2197 E. 36th St. The funeral, services were held at St. John's A.

Sam McCall is an ex-slave illiterate and 75 years old, but he is teaching the farmers of the world some noteworthy lessons, says the New York Times. He has won fame by producing on his little farm in Central Alabama the largest amount of cotton to the area ever grown in the United States. This is one bale to an eight bale, and this achievement may be understood when it is known that the average yield for the United States is only two-fifths of a bale for a whole acre.

BASEBALL Vean Gregg is pitching winning ball for Manager Birmingham's Naps. Manager Dooin of the Phillies says Catcher Killifer is the best backstop on the National league. Young Steve O'Neill has been doing good service behind the bat for the Cleveland team this season. Umpires Billy Evans and Jack Egan think that Heine Wagner is baseball's prettiest, best and gamest tagger. A New York sport writer says that, with Chase gone, the other Yankee in- cliners will have to keep their throws inside the park. Owner George E. Lennon of the St. Paul American association club is proud of the 1913 Saints, and says it's the best team St. Paul ever had. The Boston Red Sox are hopeful that they will be able to win another flag, but things are not breaking any too well for the world's champions. Jawn Titus of the Boston Braves is playing a fair game for Manager Stall- nga. The ancient athlete is hitting the pill at a pretty fair clip. A Philadelphia sport writer avers that George Mullin has been as much help to the Senators as a rock thrown out to a drowning man. Amos Strunk and Rube Oldring of the Athletics are belting the ball harder than any other men on Connie Mack's list at present. The Dubuque club of the I. I. I. league has set a price of $12,000 on Pitcher Harry Jasper, for whom several major league clubs have been Midding. According to a Norfolk (Va.) dispatch, "Pitcher Fred Bender, a brother of the famous twirler of the Athletics, may get a try-out with Cleveland. Hilly Murray, the veteran manager and discoverer of young talent, thinks the Boston Nationals have found a marvelous pitcher in James. Poor pitching has been one of the chief causes of the New York club's poor showing in the American league race. Larry McLean is quite enthusiastic over Arthur Fromme, the pitcher whom the Giants secured from Cincinnati. Larry says he cannot be beaten as a curve dispenser. "This Mathewson isn't so much," said Whitted, the young shortstop of the Cards. "Why, I never saw him before in my life, and I walked right up and slapped him for two." Both Giants and Pirates are traveling a pretty fast pace, and it is a safe bet the race will narrow down to the regular contestants in the National league within another month. Wilson Collins, the Vanderbilt university star sprinted, football player and baseball man, has been signed by George Stallings for the Boston Braves. Miller Huggins, the Cardinals' hust- ling manager, acknowledged the Brooklyn's look more formidable than any other team he has faced this year. Acosta, the young Cuban with the Senators, is growing fast, and is show- ing signs of becoming a real star. Griffith says that he can fill the place of any man on his team except Milan. Those who have seen the Cardinals in action this spring say they are playing as much inside ball as the best of them and always trying to work the fine points on the bases and at the bat. Manager Stallings of Boston says that when Strand and Noyes get right he will be all right in the pitching department. This pair of youngsters, he says, are coming along fast. Bert Whaling, catcher, and Bill James, pitcher, the star battery from Seattle of the Pacific Coast league, proved to be a valuable asset to Manager Stallings in the work of reconstructing the Boston Braves. Old Doc Crandall, the relief pitcher, has about come to the end of his days as a Giant. The Jersey City club is after Crandall. Baltimore and other teams would also like to get hold of him. Joe Tinker is having a better time of it in Redland than managers who proceeded him, despite the fact that he has the team down at the bottom. The fans have confidence in him and are giving him their support. Edwards of Cleveland says the spiking of Wagner above the knee by Fullenberg was due to the latter's摔 three feet high when he runs. Falk must think he is hurrying up stairs. The St. Louis Cardinal club has signed Eddie Herr as a scout. Bill Steen, the Naps pitcher, who is doing some good work, is the only player in the big leagues who can do fancy work. He works the needle as derreronly as he does the ball. The irony of baseball fate: As long as Manager Dooin kept himself on the bench and let Killifer do the catching, Philadelphia won. As soon as Red resumed the mask the team began to lose. Manager Johnny Evers has but one southpaw twirler in his staff this year—George Pierce, who is contributing much to the high standing of the Cubs in the National league race. Jake Stahl is likely to be out of the game for good, according to the latest reports from the Hub. The prospects are growing brighter every day for Philadelphia to stage a world's series next fall. Whoever put the wing in Wingo did a good job. The Cardinals' great backstop is a wonderful thrower. Manager Birmingham still sticks to his prediction that a percentage of about .590 will be enough to grab the American league flag this season. Billy Sunday, evangelist and former baseball player, believes the Naps and the Giants will fight it out for the championship this fall. William Lathrop, the sensational young pitcher of the Notre Dame college team, has accepted terms to pitch for the White Sox. Roger Bresnahan does not enjoy being a second-string catcher even if he is the highest priced second-string catcher in the game. * * * * The real name of Pitcher Mayer of the Phillies is said to be Erskine, and he has the distinction of being the only Hebrew pitcher in the big leagues at the present time. * * * * Manager Griffiths likes Howard Shanks, his young outfielder. "He uses his head all the time," says the old fox, "and for a youngster possesses few equals in the American league." SPORTING WORLD The annual horse show in Madison Square garden, New York city, will take place on November 15 to 22. There's little chance of H. H. Hilton coming to this country this year to take part in the amateur golf play. Oakdale, 2:07¼, that trotted some good races for Snow last year, is being trained by George Acuff at Cleveland. All Style, 2:10, is one of the latest to go to Australia, where the game is flourishing. Latest reports are to the effect that Geers has discovered what to do with Barney Gibbs. The horse is trotting for him. Calusa, that Havis James bought in California, with the Chamber of Com- merce stake in view, now sports a set of hobbies. Geers has a couple of Harvester colts of his own. The three-year-old has worked in 2:20 and the one a year younger in 2:26. James Boutwell of Montpellier, Vt. is said to have refused an offer of $15,000 for the three-year-old, Peter Johnson. The construction of the new stadium by Yale university at New Haven, will be a fitting climax to nearly $1,000,000 worth of new buildings for Yale athletics in the past six years. August Belmont will go down into sporting history as the man who inaugurated free racing in this country, but will never attain the popularity of the guy who inaugurated free lunch! The organization of a national rifle shooting league has been completed under the name of the Short Range Rifle League of the United States.

Worthington leaped 22 feet 5 3-8 inches, three-eighths of an inch better than the previous mark, made by E. T. Cook at Chillicothe, O. in 1906. E. W. Lloyd set a new world's record for 50 miles in an amateur meet at Stamford Bridge, London, covering the distance in six hours, 13 minutes and 58 seconds. J. E. Dixon, the holder of the record since 1885, in that year ran the 50 miles in six hours, 18 minutes and 26 1-5 seconds. A world's record for 12 hours of continuous automobile driving was established at Brooklands, England, when W. G. Scott and L. G. Hornstead negotiated 914 miles and 640 yards in that time, giving them an average of 76.2 miles an hour. Edmund Bane, the French turfman, who paid $196,875 for Flying Fox, has just paid $200,000 for the English thoroughbred stallion The White Knight. The Russian government was trying to buy the horse, who is a ten-year-old son of Deamond. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1913 FASHION NOTES OF THE GAY CAPITAL Exquisite Costumes and Coiffures Worn by the Leaders of Parisian Society. GLARING COLORS NOT SEEN Chief Point to Note Is a Return to Blacks and Whites, Something the Average Woman Will Welcome —Attractive Forms of Hair Dressing. Paris.—The first night of the Russian ballet at the new Theater des Champs Elysees was a notable occasion. The house was filled in every corner and the toilets were quite superb. All the prominent boxes were filled with well-known personages in Parisian society. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt had a large party in their lodge and Mrs. Vanderbilt looked handsome, and very charming, in an original gown of prune-colored charmeuse with a delicate drapery of fine black lace over the shoulders and some magnificent diamonds at throat and breast. In her box there was a remarkably pretty girl in a picture gown of eau de Nil satin and gauze. The shoulder straps were composed of bands of dark sable and the corsage was very cleverly folded across the bust, with loose ends which formed a swathed sash. This charming girl was so like the famous Parisian beauty, Cleo de Merode, that every one turned to look at her as she entered the box. The number of white gowns worn that night was quite astenishing. And side by side with these white dresses there were others of glistening black. In fact, never were the magpie tints more in evidence than at the present moment. Return to Blacks and Whites The Parisiennes have had an overdose of such crude colors as vermillion, purple, royal blue and tangerine yellow. They have suddenly gone back to their beloved blacks and whites, with the result that this is a veritable beauty season, for the average woman looks her very best in soft white or in such black materials as liberty satin or jetted tulle. One of the most remarkable persons in the house was the Comtesse Greffulhe. The comtesse is at all times a picturesque dreser. She understands the difficult art of dress to perfection, and she is the possessor of so many magnificent jewels that she looks really superb on what used to be called "a tiara night." We no longer use this phrase to indicate special nights at the opera, for the present-day tiara is made in the form of a large comb, and it can be, very often is, worn on ordinary occasions. But to return to the Comtesse Gref fulhe's dress. It was in pure white satin with a long overdress of white gauze richly embroidered in silver crystal and diamonds. The corsage was crossed over the bust and on entering her box the comtesse wore an immense box of white ostrich feathers. The corsage had no sleeves, but there were diamond shoulder straps and a low tiara comb was worn in the front on the hair, which was dressed high at the back. In the same box there was a very tall woman dressed in poppy-red velvet. Peculiarly Attractive Costume The soft material was draped round the figure in a particularly attractive way, and the corsage was entirely composed of flesh-pink chiffon, with silver and diamond embroideries and diamond shoulder straps. This idea of very light corsages with comparatively dark skirts continues to be in great favor,写信 Idalia de Villiers, in the Boston Globe. At a distance the effect is peculiar, but it is exceedingly artistic. More than that, the fashion is almost universally flattering to the feminine form. Some of the head-dresses worn that night were as original as they were attractive. That worn by Mile, Vig, the charming singer who is such a favorite at the opera, would prove very becoming to one of your lovely American girls. The forehead is plainly shown, and the hair is parted in the center and drawn softly round the head at either side. Then there is a wreath of leaves in pale green enamel, with baroque pearls introduced at regular intervals. These enamel-leaf wreaths are very fashionable this season. They are worn far down on the head—quite on the forehead. To a really pretty girl they are essentially becoming, but the fact that they hide the hair directly in front makes them trying to any but a young and very fresh face. Somewhat Eccentric Headdress. Another headdress is more eccentric in outline. It has the curious arrangement of paradise-mounts which is a rage with our smart Parisiennes. These mounts, which are almost always black, are distinctly curved and they are so placed on the head that they seem to make interrogation notes in contrary directions. A great many French women are now adopting the high style of hair-dressing. The hair is drawn upwards over a cone-shaped frame and it is heed in place by tortoise shell or jewel-eds. This style adds dignity to Where She Counted. A Washington man and his wife, whose domestic complications are frequent, but not serious, had one evening called upon a married couple. On their way home the lady said: "Now, in the case of the Barkers, I should say it was an ideal marriage. Really, I believe they both think absolutely all." "Charming people, charming people!" said hubby. "But about the thinking, Gladys, if you will notice she generally thinks first." the whole figure and to some women it is remarkably becoming. It is worthy of notice that many of the newest theater wraps are made in very rich colors. These wraps give splendid effects when they are worn over robes of black or white satin. The newest evening mantles are circular in shape and very voluminous. The most splendid embroideries are used to decorate them, and it is very much the fashion to finish them off with collars of sable of white fox. I noticed this week an ideal evening gown for a pretty girl. It was worn at the Theater des Champs Elysées on the night to which I have alluded, and it was so delicately simple and dainty that I took special notes of it in the great hall. The underdress was oyster-white charmeuse, and there was a little pointed train; then there was a long tunic of opal-tinted chiffon shot with faint lights of silver and blue. Then came the picturesque sash of blue Largilliere, which is not unlike the nattier blue in tone. This sash was beautifully arranged. It crossed the bust and was lightly knotted at the back, then the long ends were crossed at the waist in front and brought low down at the back of the dress, where they were tied in with a length of the opal chiffon. The upper portion of the corsage was quite white, and it seemed to be transparent, though in reality it was mounted over a tight bodice of flesh-pink tulle. The top of the corsage was bordered with a single row of paste. Triumph of Hair Dressing. The style of hair dressing shown on this sketch is very charming. The hair is drawn softly back and arranged over a frame. It is not a high style of dressing, neither is it low. It seems to follow the natural form of Attractive Collure. the head, and for anyone who is possessed of really fine hair it is ideal. The Parisiennes are still busily discussing the question of the "natural waist line." There are a great many persons in this world who can never be content to let well enough alone. They always want to go one better than anyone else. And this has been the case with regard to the natural waist line. No sooner had it been decided that nature was to be permitted to enjoy a period of authority, no sooner was the average woman content to exchange her stiff corset of linen and whalebone for one made of tricot, than some one started the idea that with a "natural" figure there ought to be a new, and eccentric method of walking, even of standing. The chest was to be thrown back and the figure directly below the waist was to be thrown out. And in this way the whole body was to be distorted. It is an insane idea, but there are always silly people ready and willing to seize upon anything new, no matter how much it may be. And so we find some fashionable women walking as though they had taken lessons from their cooks or from their charwomen. It is very absurd, but the fad really exists. For the Corset Cover. Just when you are in the greatest hurry the ribbon in the corset cover breaks and you have no time to put it another. This is just the way that wash ribbons do, for they are fragile and after a few washings are hopefully worn. Instead of using ribbons, get white crochet cotton, crochet a string and run it through the top of the corset cover, finish each end with a little tassel of cotton, and you will have no more trouble with broken strings. White silkateen may also be used for the same purpose, and by crocheting a double thread you can make it suitable for running through lingerie petticoats. All Sorts of Collars. Collars are of such a variety of shapes and sizes that the last thing to be tolerated is monotony. Some lie flat, some set up and around the throat, but whatever the shape or the material the neck is cut large, so as to leave the throat free. There are lace collars with wire supports, and others of the medic pattern, wide collars covering the shoulders and molding them closely, and collars cut like stoles reaching to the waist, and sometimes much lower, so as to give the appearance of basques or short tunics, in lace, embroidered cambric, canvas worked in color, linon, mousse-line de soie and so forth. Ivory Toned Satin. Some of the daintiest and most expensive blouses are in satin of so deep an ivory tone that they look positively antique—as though the fabric had been slowly coloring for a century in a forgotten cedar chest. "The managers of the San Francisco exposition are up a tree in one respect." "What is that?" "They can't think up any new name to apply to a midway." "Puffs went out of style and left her with about $50 worth of lovely hair on hand." - Courler-Journal. CAP and BELLS LOCOMOTIVE CHASED A CAT Excitable Passenger is Reassured by Accommodating Conductor When Train Makes Halt. They were talking about the thousand and one questions that the poor railroad conductors have to answer a hundred times a day, when Senator James A. Reed of Missouri told of an incident that happened on a railway in the middle west. One afternoon, according to the senator, a local train stopped with great celerity, and instantly every window was thrown open to accommodate a protruding head. "What's the matter, conductor?" nervously asked an excitable passenger. "Why did we stop so suddenly? What are all those people looking out for?" "Nothing very serious," answered the accommodating conductor, "we just hit a cat." "Hit a cat!" exclaimed the nervous one. "You don't really mean it! Was the cat on the track?" "Oh, no, sir," was the merry rejoinder of the conductor. "The locomotive chased him up an alley."—Philadelphia Telegraph. A. Professional Opinion A railroad man was taken to hear a certain bishop speak. The Episcopal dignitary trespassed on time and bade fair to encroach upon eternity. He roamed in all the fields of human thought and speculation, and when he had come several times to an admirable stopping place only took renewed strength to go on. Finally he reached a belated end. “What do you think of the bishop’s preaching?” asked one parishioner of the railroad man. “He makes fairly good running time,” he admitted, “and he carries plenty of freight. But he hasn't got good terminal facilities.” Joya of Hospitality "A motor car is a source of great pleasure, isn't it?" "Yes," replied Mr. Chuggins. "But it has certain disadvantages. You don't want to ride by yourself, and when you take out a party of friends they have arguments among themselves about how fast we shall travel and where we shall go. There is only one thing they agree about, and that is, if the machine breaks down, it's a good joke on me." CLOSE WORK. Mr. Hum Bug—Say, old man, whi don't you try to get a little fat on you like me? Mr. Water Bug—Can't. My wort takes me into a lot of these small water pipes, and I could never go through them if I was as fat as you Worse and Worse. Bill—This paper says that one percent of the water of the oceans would cover all the land to a depth of 296 feet. Jill—Gee! I hope they won't let 'em do it. It's bad enough to have so much of the land covered by mort gages as it is. After His Exercise Mrs. Benson—I want your wife to go out with me. Do you know if she is tied up for today? Mr. Hurst (perspiring)—I don’t know if she is tied up for today, but I know bloomin’ well she hooked up for the day, all right. Accomplished Youth Farmer Bentover—What's you nephew that's home from college do in' now? Farmer Hornbeak—Nothin'; and he's got more original ways of ac complishin' it than any feller you ever seen—Judge. Speeding. Redd—I've been in a number of places since I got my carmer I never dreamed of going in before. Greene—Why, how many times have you been taken to court? Mixed Up. "Marjorie gave that fake swimmer at Atlantic City a shock." "What was it?" "She made him a dare to take a header, which was a facer."
