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.

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.

Only subscribers' papers are sent through the mail. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gaskins of Binghamton, N. Y., newlyweds, after several days in the city, returned home. Monday. They were guests of the presentor, Mr. and Mrs. Parker of Martin's Ferry, were also guests of the hotel the first of the week. F. S. Coles of Baltimore, Md., and ten men from Chicago, who are wrecking the May Co. building, are at the hotel. Hon. James R. 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 GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 1913. Mrs. Geo. West and children are taking a trip up the lakes. Peter A. Lucas of Windsor, Ca., visited his brother, Saul A. Lucas, recently. The Du Bois Literary club will meet at Mrs. T. W. St. John's, E. 71st St., Wednesday evening, July 24, by order of the president. The City Federation will meet at Mrs. Pierson's, E. 43d St., Thursday evening, July 24, by order of the president. Wiley Griffon of Eugene, Oregon, was that city's first street-car driver. A Mr. Qualls was Cleveland's first. Both members of the race. The Junior M. M. S. gave a play, "Graduation Day at Woodhill School," this Friday evening, at St. John's church. Current rumor has it that the Luna Park management refuses to permit our people to patronize the park dance-hall, skating rink, swimming pool, restaurant, etc. How about it? Mrs. Nona Berry of Youngstown, en route home from Oberlin, visited her mother, Mrs. L. A. R. Cunningham, of E. 43d St., last week. They were entertained at dinner, July 5, by Dr. and Mrs. J. K. Nickens of E. 85th St. The Cleveland Benevolent Association held an interesting meeting, Monday evening, at Dr. and Mrs. J. K. Nickens', E. 85th St. Good reports were received from five local institutions that the $50 was given to recently. Light refreshments were served by the hostess by all. 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. Mrs Rih Logan, who finished the course at the Sargent School of gymnastics, Cambridge, Massachusetts, a few weeks ago—Tuskegee (Ala.) Student, June 28, 1913. Wm. J. 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. Please oblige us, if you can. Playing It Safe, An overweight business man bolt headroom most into a luncheon room the other day and pounded on the counter. "Ham-'nog sandwich, quick!" he or dered. 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.

Claims aggregating $4,400 for damage due to the mob the night of May 15 were recently filed with the Ft. Worth, Tex., City Commission. They are for property destroyed in the Negro business section. Commander Eva Booth of the Salvation Army has commissioned six Colored officers of the army to work exclusively among our people of the District of Columbia and the south. The national capital is to be the first city where they are to work. Mrs. Jessie E. Shaw of Boston, Mass., has in publication a choral work with both English and Latin settings. The Latin setting is the Brescia Church Catholic service, and the English is to the words of "Love Divine All Love Excelling." She is the wife of Rev. M. A. N. Shaw. Three of our youths gloriously uphold the honor of the race in the New England amateur contests, held in Boston. June 28. Howard P.

Bessemer of the United States won the hundred and forty-yard run in the almost world's record time of 49 seconds. This U. S. Patent office is endeavoring to obtain information concerning patents issued to Colored inventors, in accordance with a request from the Emancipation Celebration Commission of Pennsylvania, authorized by the legislature of that state to prepare an exhibit showing the progress of our people during the 50 years following the emancipation of Columbia in 1833 to be held in Philadelphia, Pa. September, 1913. Miss Irene Ambers graduated from the Toledo Normal School, last week. She is our first, for that city. The Legislature of Missouri has appropriated $130,000 for the building and equipment of a home for incorrigible Colored girls, to be located at Tipton; and $50,000 is appropriated for maintenance. William Anthony Glicchir, an orphan 10 years old, who was graduated from Holy Epiphany School for Afro-Americans at Leavenworth, Kan., in June, will enter a seminar to study for the Catholic priesthood. After ordination he expects to be assigned to work among our people in the South. "A reward for honesty" is the inscription on a diamond-studded sign net ring which has been presented to him by the priest who found a $450 gold mesh jewelled bag containing $50, and returned it to its owner. 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. We trust that in the process and progress of segregation now running rampant over this part of the country that the dominant race will make some headway in segregating white men and Colored women after dark.

Then hoe Parie.—The first night of the Rus sian ballet at the new Theater des Champs Elysees was a notable occa: sion. The house was filled in every corner and the toilets were quite superb. All the prominent boxes were filled with well-known personages in Parisi an society. Mr. and Mrs, W. K. Van derbilt had a large party in thelr lodge and Mrs. Vanderbilt looked handsome, and very charming, in an original gown of prune-colored char meuse with a delicate drapery of fine black lace over the shoulders and some magnificent diamondy at throat and breast. In her box there was a remarkably do Nil satin and gauze. | ‘The shoulder straps were composed ot bands of dark sable and the cor ‘sage was very cleverly folded across the bust, with loose ends which formed ‘a swathed sash. This charming git 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 astonishing.

One of the most remarkable persons In the house was the Comtesse Gret futhe. The comtesse is at all times a pleturesque dresser, She understands the difficult art of dress to perfection, and she is the possessor of so many magnificent jewels that she looks real- Iy superb on what used to be called "a tara night.” We no longer use this phrase to tn Jaleate special nights at the opera, for eee ares wemeeran cee form of a large comb, and it can be, ‘very often fs, worn on ordinary occa sone.

Another headdress is more eccen- trie in outline. It has the curious ar rangement of paradise-mounts which is a rage with our smart Parisfennes.

Avgtert. many French women are now adopting the high style of hair- dressing. The hair is drawn upwards over a cone-shaped frame and it ts heid in place by tortoise shell or jJew- eled pins. This style adds dignity to Where She Counted. A Washington man and his wife, whose domestic complications are fre- quent, but not serious, had one eve- ning called upon a married couple. On their way home the lady sald: “Now, in the case of the Barkers. I should, say it was an {deal marriage. Really, I believe they: both think ab- solutely alike.” “Charming people, charming peo ple!” sald 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 nowest theater wraps are made in very sich color ‘These wraps give splendid effects when they are worn ovor robes of black or white satin, The newest evening mantles are circular in shape uyd very voluminous. ‘The most splendid embroideries are used to decorate them, and it i very much the fashion to finish them off with collars of sable of white fox. 1 noticed this week an ideal evening gown for a pretty girl. It was worn at the Theater des Champs Elysees on the night to which I have alluded, and It was 60 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 Uttle pointed train; then there was a long tunie of opsl-tinted chiffon shot with faint Hghts of silver and blue. Then came the picturesque sash of blue Largilliere, which ts not unilke 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 tled in with a length of the opal chiffon. The up- ‘Per portion of the corsage was quite white, end it seemed to be transpar- ent, though in reality it was mounted over a tight bodice of ftesh-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. Tho hair is drawn softly back and_ar- ranged over a frame. It is not a high style of dressing, neither is it low. It seems to follow the natural form of Sp y Se SQ Sy \ v the head, and for anyone who i pos sessed of really fine hair it is ideal. ‘The Parisiennes are still busily dis- cussing 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 al ways want to go one better than any: one else. And this hag been the case with regard to the natural waist line. No sooner had it been decided that na- ture was to be permitted to enjoy a period of authority, no sooner was the average woman content to exchange her stiff corset of Iinen and whalebone for one made of tricot, than some one started the {dea that with a “natural” figure there ought to be a new, and ec: centric method of walking, even of standing, ‘The chest was to be thrown hack and the figure directly below the « aist was to be thrown out. And in this way the whole body was to be dis- torted. It is au insane Idea, but there are always silly people ready and will- ing to seize upon anything new, no matter how ridiculous {t may be. ‘And so wo find some would-be fash- fonable women walking as though they had taken lessons from their cooks or from their charwomen, It is very absurd, but the fad really exists.

This is just the way that wash ribbgns do, for they are fragile and after a few washings are lope lessly worn, Instend of using ribbons, get white-erochet cotton, crochet a string and run {t through the top of the corset cover, finish each end with fa Iittle tassel of cotton, and you will have no more trouble with broken strings, White eilkateen may also be used for the same purpose, and by crocheting 2 double thread’ you can make it suitable for running through lingerie petticoats, All Sorts of Collars, Collars are of such @ variety of shapes and sizes that the last thing to be tolerated Is monotony. Some ie 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 medicf pattern, wide col- lars covering the shoulders and mold- ing 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 tunies, in lace, embroidered cambric, canvas worked in color, linoa, mousse- ine de gole and so forth. 5 Dia sa Some of the daintiest and most ex. pensive blouses are in satin of $0 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 Episco- pal dignitary trespassed on time and bade fair to encroach upon eternity. He roamed in all the flelds of human thought and speculation, and when he had come several times to an admir able stopping place only took re- newed strength to go on. Finally he roached a belated end. “What do you think of the bish- op’s preaching?” asked one parishion- er 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.” Joys of Hospitality. “A motor car 1s a source of great pleasure, isn't it?” “Yes,” replied Mr. Chugging. “But it has certain disadvantages. You don't want to ride by yourself, and when you tike out a party of friends they have arguments among them- selves 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. | Déily =t1ea Cleveland and Cedar Point=Daily enCRRAIR a ec i lt ne a | STEAMER EASTLAND FARR.
