Historical Significance of Tentative Program Offered by the Commission For Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of Proclamation Freeing Colored Race In America. New York—As New York city is the most cosmopolitan center in the world, it is particularly valuable for the future of the Negro race that this city should be chosen as the place of the emancipation exposition, made possible by the legislature of the state of New York. The influence for good which this exposition will have upon the people of New York cannot fail to be of farreaching consequences. To any one who has observed closely the salient features of the race problem it must have become apparent that the paramount need of all concerned is to have a better, fuller knowledge of the past of the Negro race and, possessing this, to accord it its due privileges and opportunities for the present and thus to render possible its attainment of a future still more worthy of recognition and consideration than anything it has yet achieved. The tentative program of the commission covers an exhibit in thirteen divisions, comprising (1) Africa, showing a historical map of the continent, with particular reference to the parts occupied by Negroes and the arts and crafts of the race at home; (2) charts and diagrams indicating distribution of Negro blood throughout the world and the growth of the race in America; (3) health and physique; (4) occupations, including moving picture demonstrations; (5) science and inventions; (6) education, (7) religion, (8) civics, (9) the work of women, (10) painting and sculpture, (11) literature, (12) architecture (this exhibit will be placed in a small central temple designed by a colored architect and will include pieces of sculpture by Negroes, a library of Negro newspapers and books by Negro authors or relating to the Negro, paintings and decorations by the Negro, etc.); (13) music. Part of the exposition will be devoted to a pageant of the history illustrating (1) the discovery of the use of iron, the Negro method of smelting the metal and of manufacturing the metal therefrom; (2) the origin of Egyptian culture; (3) Negro Mohammedan civilization; (4) the Bantu migration; (5) the fall of the empire of Sougha and the rise of the slave trade; (6) the landing of the Negro in America; (7) the first attempts at freedom, (8) Haiti; (9) the cotton kingdom and underground railroad; (10) the abolitionists, (11) emancipation; (12) the struggle and vision of the future. With such a program as this of an exposition of Negro advancement to be held in New York city fifty years after the disgraceful draft riots of which the American metropolis was the scene, the state of New York may congratulate itself for having once more endeavored to retrieve its honor by giving an opportunity to its colored citizens to show why the effort to enlist volunteers to fight for the liberation of the black man was justified. Every member of the commission which made this plan of the exposition is colored. The commission deserves the moral and material support of all colored people, for the success of its program is bound to result in greater consideration and respect for the race. POLITICAL AMBITION OF FORMER MINISTER LYON. Served Government at Monrovia Two Terms—May Run For Congress. Baltimore—Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States minister to Liberia, may enter the fight for the Republican nomination for congress in the Third Maryland district. He has been asked by friends all over the district, which lies wholly within Baltimore, to contest for the nomination. The district contains over 4,000 colored voters and the bulk of the foreign vote. As Dr. Lyon is well and favorably known, his nomination, if he enters the fight, could be secured in a hard campaign. The district has no representative in congress at present, Congressman George Konig having died not long ago. Dr. Lyon is no novice in the field of politics. He has been in touch with some of the most influential Republicans in the country, and his counsel has been sought in a number of campaigns. His activities have brought him in contact with such men as the late Mark Hanna, the late Speaker Reed, Colonel Roosevelt and others. During the presidential campaign of 1000 he was one of three members of the advisory committee and as such worked indefinitely for the success of McKinley and Roosevelt. In 1903 President Roosevelt appointed him American minister to Liberia, where he remained for eight years. Besides having in preparation a volume on Liberia, he is now pastoring the John Wesley M. E. church in this city. He resides at 141 West Hill street. ARDENT MASONIC WORKER. How J. Henry Sherwood is Winning His Scores on Merit. St. Paul, Minn.—J.

MOVING PICTURE STORY. Achievements of a Hampton Student Portrayed in Didactic Manner. Hampton, Va.—"John Henry's Four Years at Hampton" is the title of a most interesting moving picture story of Hampton institute which has been prepared by Leigh Richmond Minor of the Hampton staff. The first exhibition of the vivid moving pictures was given recently at Hampton institute. John Henry, who lives out in the country, is influenced by a Hampton graduate to come to the well known agricultural and industrial school for Negroes. On reaching Hampton he is shown the modern buildings and is then taken to his dormitory room. There he is given a lesson in bedmaking by his room mate. John Henry, after his work in doing various chores which tasked his stick-to-it-tiveness, enters the cabinetmaking department and in three years becomes a proficient tradesman. John Henry also learns enough of several other trades so as to be truly useful to his people back in the country districts. He is put through a short course in manual training, shoe-making, harness repairing, bricklaying and upholstery. He is also taught how to plow and care for the common farm animals—plugs, chickens, horses and cows. The Hampton institute moving pictures give an excellent presentation of the Sunday morning room inspection, battaition drill, anniversary process, life in the student dining room and every day life at Hampton. John Henry is shown as a pupil teacher at the Whittier school leading the procession of youngsters as they assemble to salute the flag. In the final scene, dealing with commencement day, Dr. Frissell presents the transformed and useful youth with a Hampton diploma. John Henry greets his parents, who have made a sacrifice so that they get an education, the teacher, one of Hampton's graduates, who influenced John Henry to break his home ties and go to Hampton, witnesses the happy scene. Young Ad. Man Under Fire of Publishers. Personal Investigation of Promising Advertising Concern Made by the Chairman of the Executive Committee National Negro Press Association, Who Says the Agency is Reliable. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Having received letters from a number of publishers in reference to the responsibility of the Haynes Advertising agency in this city, I considered it my duty to make a personal investigation in order to furnish the members of the National Negro Press association with impartial and accurate information. To my mind an advertising agency is subject only to the control of the periodicals which it represents. I had the pleasure of calling upon the Haynes Advertising agency a few days ago and was most cordially received by Mr. Haynes, who is the proprietor of the business. After a few brief preliminary remarks I stated my mission, and without the least hesitation Mr. Haynes in the most intelligent way outlined his method of operation. Mr. Haynes says: "This agency is the outcome of nearly two years struggle against many obstacles. One is that of general racial prejudice, which is a universal handicap. Another most vital feature is that in a number of cases we have not been able to get accurate and efficient service from many of the colored publishers. The methods of general advertising have been greatly changed in recent years. The most important additional feature is the 'key system,' which has been adopted by all of the big advertisers. By this method each medium carrying an advertisement is recorded by the advertisement and is known by different numbers. For instance, one publication is known by department 6, another is known by department 24, and so on. "This system enables the advertiser to systematically check up replies from each medium carrying his advertisement, thus showing the actual results of each individual periodical in which his advertisement appears. This one feature alone has created extra expense in stamps, stationery and time, corresponding with publishers, instructing them to insert 'key numbers' correctly. We have written as many as six letters to some of these publishers on this one point before we could make them understand it. "Advertisers will not pay for any newspaper advertisements until sufficient proof of insertions is established. This important feature has been entirely ignored by many. "A great many who have been carrying advertisements from this office have failed to send in voucher copies bearing the advertisement. This also has greatly disturbed our routine." I was then shown sufficient proof that legal action had been started against an advertiser in order to make collection for publications that had complied with instructions by inserting their proper key numbers and sending in voucher copies of their publications. In this particular case Mr. Haynes claimed that he had notified the publishers to whom he was indebted that he would be personally responsible for all bills if collections were not made within a limited time. Mr. Haynes further said: "The supremacy of this agency has been made possible by my most comprehensive combination rate plan, and careful study and experiment have proved that my system is the most effective and productive service to offer the big advertisers. There is no individual Negro publication having enough circulation to interest the big advertiser; consequently the combination of from ten to a hundred publications offering a combined circulation of many thousands is absolutely the only proposition that will attract the attention of the big advertiser to this class of publication. "From an ethical standpoint it is not improper, unsafe or unwise in grouping together any number of publications in order to accomplish a thing that could not be done otherwise. I might add that through my most favorable connections with the United Publishers' association and many of the large white advertising agencies of the country I am quite confident that within a short time this establishment will be a creditable asset to the colored publishers of this country. My advice to the colored publishers throughout the country is to give more attention to circulation. That is the essential chord on which the big advertisers play." Mr. Haynes is a member of the National Negro Press association, and his long practical experience in business should give him first hand knowledge as to business principles, and I believe that his agency is absolutely reliable and offers the most tangible and practical proposition ever before brought to the attention of the big advertisers. At present about one-third of the colored periodicals of America are represented by membership in the National Negro Press association. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O.

L. some time between 8 o'clock Saturday night and the same hour on Sunday evening. Included in the missing valuables is a rope of pearls, valued at $60,000, which was Mrs. Harriman's wedding gift to her daughter. Announcement of the theft was made Tuesday by C. C. Tegetheff, who is in charge of the Harriman estate. Mr. Tegetheff said that he employed the Burns detective agency Monday after receiving a telephone message from Mrs. Rumsey. He admitted that the detectives had discovered nothing. Tegetheff gave out this list of the stolen property: Pearl necklace consisting of two strings of 65 pearls each, $60,000. Large ruby in bar pin, $5.00. Diamond plaque brooch with large ring. Gold mesh bag set with diamonds and sapphires, $1,200. In addition to this list, it was said that other articles of no great value were taken by the thieves.

The sleeping apartment, Tegethoff said, was not locked, but only members of the household had access to the room. OHIOAN FOR WEATHER CHIEF Charles F. Marvin is Picked by Wilson to Succeed Willis L. Moore, Recently Removed. Washington, D. C.-Prof. Charles F. Marvin has been selected chief of the weather bureau to succeed Willis L. Moore, recently removed. Prof. Marvin now is chief of the instrument division. He was appointed to the old signal service in 1884 from Ohio. President Wilson 'will send his nomination to the senate soon. Prof. Marvin was born at Columbus, O., and was educated in the public schools there and at the Ohio State university. He came to Washington in 1884 and entered the government service in what was then known as the signal service, since renamed the weather bureau. He became head of the instrument division of the bureau in 1888, which position he has since held. Prof. Marvin is the inventor of many instruments used by the bureau. He has represented the department of agriculture at a number of important meteorological congresses and has written extensively on weather investigations. He has conducted experiments upon which are based the tables used by the weather bureau for determining the amount of moisture in the air, has studied the measurement of wind velocities and pressures and also on the use of kites for ascertaining meteorological conditions. Prof. Marvin was recommended for the place by the National Academy of Sciences. President Wilson was requested by the executive committee of this body to delay the appointment of a successor to Willis L. Moore until it had recommended a man. The first choice was Prof. Marvin. In Trance, Talks With Christ.

He and I had long talks but He told me not to speak to anyone else in Heaven. I crossed the River Jordan alone." --- Y FIVE CENTS HUERTA HEEDS U. S. DEMANDS Orders Persons Who Shot American Be Tried. ALSO RELEASES PRISONERS Sends to State Department Complete Disawowal of Dixon Affair Coupled With Protestations of Regard for this Government. Statistics compiled from the latest consular reports from Mexico show that about 20,000 of the 40,000 Americans in that country in 1912 are there today and that the $1,057,770,000 of American investments south of the Rio Grande have depreciated approximately 50 per cent. Of this amount $100,000,000 is estimated to be taken out to the ravages of the conending factions. Washington, D. C.—President Huerta of Mexico* has heeded the peremptory demand of the United States for the immediate trial of the persons who shot Charles B. Dixon, the immigration officer at Juarez, and has ordered the trial to proceed expeditiously. Releases American Prisoners. Making further surrender for immediate action on demands of the United States, Huerta has telegraphed instructions to the governor of Chihuahua for the immediate release of Bissel, McDonald and Bissel's chauffeur, the Americans who are held by the federalers. Not only did Huerta inform Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affairs at Mexico City, of these facts, but he sent to the state department a complete disavowal of the Dixon affair coupled with protestations of regard for the American government. He regrets "very much that the American government should ascribe to the influence of the Mexican government any action which might be construed as antagonistic to Americans during his occupancy of the executive authority." Huerta says further that he desires the state department to be assured "that no injustice or violence shall be done to Americans with his cognizance while he is in his present position." To Investigate Mexican Affairs. Congressman Stephens of Texas Tuesday introduced a resolution providing for a joint senate and house committee to investigate Mexican conditions, report on outrages to which Americans are alleged to have been subjected, the prospects for establishment of a stable government in Mexico and recommendations for a fixed American policy toward Mexico. He believes that peace, if brought about, will be only temporary. In the senate, Senator Sheppard of Texas introduced a resolution looking to the possible recognition of the revolutionists as belligerents. The resolution requests the foreign relations committee to advise the senate whether in their opinion, this nation should recognize the belligerency of the revolutionists in Mexico and accord them international status to which they may be entitled. President Wilson is now, it is said, preparing by way of a tender of the good offices of the United States to bring about a truce or armistice between the warring Mexican factions, pending the final settlement of the war.

The young man’s application was sent in by his father, but was, refused on ac count of his color. , It was stated to Rey.

If you refuse the applt- cation of my son I shall publish your actions and demand that you take the ‘word ‘Christian’ from this institution.” After censuring them severely, for thelr action, and promising to fight them with the co-operation of 150 lo cal ministers, they agreed to let his son enter. Hats off, to Rev. Duckery! ‘hat fs the spirit, the action and the eourse to pursue, always, here in the north. FIGHT for your rights an¢ privileges, all the time.

Heaven help ‘the poor Negro! We tremble for him, and the country’s welfare.

Steubenville held a “Three Wars" celebration, last week, and the fudge was on for an address—on the 25th. ult-—which he delivered in front of the courthouse, in that elty, his sub- ject being “Three Wars.” It was some speech, loo, for it stirred the still rebel south almost as much as Presi dent Wilson's “Patterson” appoint- ment is stirring it. Judge Mansfield, during his address, referred to “Gen.” John H, Morgan, the “Confederate” or rather rebel raider, and his band, as cut-throats and murderers; extolled members of the G. A, R.; “roasted” the disloyal south, and very properly criticised his county for appropriating $2,000 to erect monuments at points visited by Morgan's raiders (in 1863) in Jefferson County in which Steuben ville is located, Concluding, the judge said: “Who are these Morgan raiders? ‘Why, they were nothing but a bunch of cutthroats, murderers and guerril las, Hore, we are acting under a mis. taken idea of patriotism and trying to ‘make heroes of them.” ‘The truth, judge; the whole trutt and nothing but the truth. Tell it continue to tell it! More power to you and thank you for this refreshing ex hibition of fearless truth-telling. May your kind increase! It is said that many southerners (guests) in Steub: enville, that day, the 25th, ult, left the city Immediately because of the judge’s speech. Good! That city and the state was well rid of them, if the truth effected them in that way, PARIS LIONIZES JOHNSON.

S. Senator T. E. Burton of Cleve- land, 0., was appealed to by some of his Ohio Afro-American constituents to take some step looking to the revocation of the segregation order in the Treasury Department he coldly replied it would be useless for him to make any effort. Senator Burton is the first Republican senator from Ohio who failed to champion the cause of the Afro-American when requested so to do, and when a champion was needed. Had Senator J. B. Foraker of Cincinnati, O., given the same answer six years ago no leg- islation weuld have been enacted to relieve the members of the Twenty- fifth Infantry. Senator Burton could, with propriety, and in justice to his fifty thousand Afro-American constituents in Ohio, introduce a resolu: tion in the Senate calling upon the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to advise who issued the segregation order, and inform the Senate why it was is- sued. Even if his resolution failed to pass he would have done his duty to his constituents, and he would have brought the question squarely be- fore the people, Afro-American Ohloans are asking the question “Does Senator Burton endorse segregation too? Is his declination to take any steps to relieve the race from this mean discrimination in the government service indicate his approval of segregation?” ‘Senator Burton declines to make any move in the interests of the race—to secure to the Negro employes their rights guaranteed by the Civil Service rules.

C., who visited in this city and Columbus for six weeks, the guest of her parents and other relatives, has returned home. She was entertained, while here, by Mrs. Walter B. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Early, Miss Willa M. Shook and others. Her husband, Lewis E. Johnson, is secretary of the Twelfth St. Branch Y. M. C. A., Washington, D. C. A young man of the race, boarded a Central Av. car, one evening last week, and sat next to some young white fellow who seemed to know him. Immediately, he began to tell the latter, and incidently the whole car, so loud did he talk, how he had been arrested the first day he arrived for school, "On shooting erase," and thought he was "doing something." He was, too, for he certainly made a number of other good members of the race, in that car, feel mighty uncomfortable. Sam. Fertman, confectioner near E 38th St., purchased the property at the corner of E. 33d, St. and Central Av., part of which is occupied by the Peoples' Drug store, recently, for $7,000 and in a week sold it to an Italian for $8,000. A few years ago our people could have purchased the same property for less money and on easy payments. Too bad. An Italian has also purchased the property in part of which Mr. Saul Lucas has his ice cream and confectionery store. Mr. Lucas has to move. An official of the Cleveland Electric Street Car Co., stopped a representative of The Gazette, one day last week, and told him that he had just received a report from the Wilson Av. barns that a Colored man, on a late at-night car from Forest City park filled with our people, who had been attending a celebration of some kind out there, was seen to have his hand in the door. The seatmate The conductor and employees of the barn saw it. He concluded by saying he guessed the company would have to stop running the cars to the park for them, if that sort of misconduct was to be repeated. Tuesday night, about 11:30 o'clock, a representative of the *Gazette* saw two of our nice young misses about 14 years of age, traveling up and down both sides of Central Av., between E. 37th. st., and E. 28th. st., and later found on the street a girl, a sister of one of them—a girl of 17 years of age, whom he later saw come out of a side-entrance of one of the lowest salons on the avenue. This young miss is a very pretty girl and her parents are excellent people. What in the world is that mother thinking about to allow that girl out on that street unaccompanied at that hour, when she finally inhaled the father? The girl is not to blame. Will our parents heed? There is entirely too much of this very thing done every day of the week, and Sunday, too, by our parents. One Way. A housekeeepr complains that one can't save her gas bills. Why not try pasting them in a scrapbook? Don't throw away your copy of The Gazette when you have done with it, but give it to some appreciative person whom you feel would be likely to subscribe or take it regularly, if they had a copy to look over and read carefully. Oblige the MONSTER COLORED SHOW An innovation and a really big event will be given at the Grand Theater, Aug. 19 and 20. See advertisement at the top of these columns and get ready to attend. That the great team of comedians, Buster and Rockpile, are to be a part of the show is important when it is known that the Wilens, almost equally versatile artists, Chas, Nickerson, the Twin Emmets and a number of others are to take part in the show, more than enough is said. A. H. Dorsey and Harry S. Copeland, business directors, are well-known and a guarantee that everything will be first-class and fine. course you will not miss it. A two-hour course you will enjoy a chorus of beautiful girls and handsome young men, as well as the many specialties. Out at Luna Park, nearly every day in the year, our people are refused the privileges to skate, dance, bathe etc., freely accorded to the denizens of the tenderloin, just so they happen to be "white," who go out there and apply or them. And yet there are "Negrogs" who will attempt to enrich the treasury of the Luna Park mankind, by taking on the first of August, by attracting a crowd of their own kind to that place of amusement. What has become of the Negro's manhood, self-respect, race pride and about everything else, who will so truckle to anything or anybody in order to make a few "tainted" dollars, for themselves or anything or anybody else, in such a miserable way? May God help them "to see that they should" and stop their efforts at such a miserable any purpose whatever. It is not necessary for us to tell our good people of this community their duty in this matter. DOINGS OF THE RACE On motion of Councilman John O Hopking, the only Afro-American member of the Wilmington, Del. City Council, William Wiggins, Sr., was elected bailiff last week. Wiggins beat James J. Riley (white), the incumbent by a vote of 8 to 3. Dr. A. M. Townsend, physician and banker, has been elected president of Roger Williams University, Nashville. Tenn. He succeeds Prof. J. W. Johnson, who resigned in June. Hon. H. Tucker, President of the U. S. Treasury, Washington, D. C, has at last resigned, and Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, will be "fired" soon by the southern democratic Wilson administration, if he does not do so, also. Mrs. Mary Morgan, 114 years old, died, July 22, at Millen, Ga. She was that state's oldest resident. "I was on the Haynes Advertising Agency, N. Y. City, will be needed, ere long, we fear. Wake up, gentlemen!" The Gazette has received a copy of the 1913 Negro Year Book. Its author, Monroe N. Work of Tuskegee, Ala., is noted for his marked ability along the line of research work, and his work in the field of education is made, is up to his usual high standard. Every Negro in America should possess a copy of this valuable work, because information can be obtained in it that can be found nowhere else. Its price, 25c, puts it in the reach of all, and it should have an enormous sale. Carl J. Murphy, who recently graduated from Harvard university, with a B.A. in History, has appointed teacher of German in Howard university, Washington, D. C. He received his preliminary training at the Baltimore Colored high school and Howard university. Carl is a son of John H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American-Ledger. Ohio Afro-Americans should begin now to look up U. S. Senator Burton's record. When he is in Conte, What he in his own behalf—all these years? What he has DONE for us? Under the will of the late Ellen Collins (white) of New York, the following persons and institutions are beneficiaries: Dr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, $5,000 each; one-half of the residuary estate, amount to $14,292, was left to the Normal and Industrial Institute for our people; Snow Hill, Ala., and $4,000 apiece to the president of the University and his wife. Other charitable bequests included $5,000 to the New York Colored mission, $24,292 to the New York Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, $1,500 to the Seamen's Friend Society, $1,000 apiece to the Lincoln hospital and home, the New York Bible society and the Peace league of New York and $5,000 to Lebanon hospital (department for the insane) at Beirut, Syria. The estate was recently appraised at $205,071. The Portland (Ore.) Advocate has entered its fourth year. Congratulations on best wishes for many birthdays and even more successful years. Editor Cannady! Now is the time to FIGHT, as never before, for your rights and privileges in public places; fight the race's enemy in the streets; be MEN and WOMEN—citizens; stop whining and preaching any "doctrine of surrender." When your Gazettes are not delivered on Friday mornings, call at your Central Postoffice General Delivery Window for them in the afternoon of the same day. —Editor. At the GRAND THEATER, Cor. E.

C. degree was conferred on 30 candidates and many committees appointed. Tuesday's session being opened with a reception for delegates and addressed the address of welcome which was appropriately responded to. The arrangements for the convention were complete and very satisfactory. P. M. Hatcher was chairman of the committee. The grand lodge met in Mystery lodge hall. In the evening a musical entertainment was given at the Diamond lodge hall; Wednesday, Tuesday, delegates to Tucson park. On Thursday, grand street-parade by the uniform rank of the lodges from nearly every large city in the state, followed by a prize drill at the Fair grounds. The prizes amounted to $250 and were given to the best drilled companies. Where were more than 300 delegates in attendance and more than 5,000 visitors. The most successful session the history of the grand lodge. The next meeting was on Tuesday, Wednesday's session was devoted mainly to hearing committee and other reports. That of the Endowment board showed a cash balance, July 1 of $2433.04. Over 1,000 members were added to the order, the past year. At Tuesday evening's entertainment, Mrs. R. E. Pettiford sang a very pretty solo and Prof. Geo. T. Simpson, of Wilberforce university, rendered two pleasurable quartets and the most prominent Quartet rendered seventeen dudes. Miss Mabel Clark, of Xenia, presided at the piano. The prize drill of the uniformed bodies was won by Company A of Columbus. The companies in the contest went through the various formations in splendid style. With a grand ball at armory hall the sessions of the grand lodge came to a close Thursday evening. There were several hundred delegates and visitors present and it furnished a fitting climax to the three days' business and pleasure which representative men in the city have enjoyed in Ohio, enjoyed in this city last week Officers elected: W.

C. — The Central Presbyterian church, which President Wilson has attended here more often than any other, has been sold to an Afro-American congregation. The members thought that if the president was going to worship with them they ought to seek a more desirable location. Consequently a new site has been purchased out on the Avenue of the Presidents, and a new edifice will be built there this summer. CARD OF THANKS. LIMA, O.—I desire to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for the kindness and sympathy extended dur ing the recent bereavement, the death of my beloved husband, William Foye. I am especially grateful to his many friends for their beautiful flowers, to the members of the A. M. E, church choir for their music, and Rev. Fox for his kind words of sympathy and consolation. MRS. HATTIE FOYE. FIRST OF THE SUFFRAGETS Tracts Recently Found Prove That English Women Sought Votes Many Years Ago. The title of a tract in a recent catalogue published at London, England, merits notice. It is: "Hey, Hoe, for a husband; or The Parliament of Maides; Their Desires, Decrees, and Determinations. The principal members' are Mrs. Beatrice Blinks, Mrs. Sarah Sale Woman, Mrs. Margaret Maundring, Mrs. Priscilla Priek-Song, Mrs. Dorith Doewell, Mrs. Triabta Triptoe, 4to, 1647." It begins as follows: "Not able any longer to forbear the very many inconveniences, occasioned by the general backwardness of men, who contrary to the law of God and nature, are woood to that which instinct (were they not degenerate) would prompt them to proffer; we the maids and virgins of Great Britain have thought fit, to the end a speedy remedy of this evil may be attained, to choose members fit and able to sit in parliament," etc. So apparently the demand for "votes for women" did not originate with Mill. Another tract is as follows: "A parliament of ladies, with their laws newly enacted, 1647," and Mr. Barnard states that the title to the first edition, issued in 1640, is: "The parliament of women. With the merry laws by them newly enacted. To live in more ease, pompe, pride and wantoness; but especially that they might have superlity and domineer over their husbands." Mrs. W. McAllister of Central Av., is convalescent. Herring Co. THE MAGIC IS 9 IN LONG SHAMPOO DRIER MED CO. SHAMPOO DRIER MED CO. THE MAGIC SHAMPOO AND HAIR STRAIGHTENER.

WHERE RAIN SELDOM FALLS Two Thousand Miles of South American Coast Line Almost Absolutely Waterless. For 2,000 miles the coast, as more Americans than are at present informed will doubtless discover as soon as the Panama canal develops more neighborliness between the North Atlantic and the South Pacific, one need not carry an umbrella except to keep off the sun, the Providence Journal observes. In Peru, on the sea side of the Andes, they build out of mud what seem to be magnificent palaces, and clapboard effects are popular also, though wood is worth its weight in gold, Succo, a paint brush and a lively fancy serve for this stagy decoration, but there is not even the pretense of cultivating lawns, though that might be indulged in, too, with the help of a pot of green paint. Rain enough would not fall in a generation to wash the green off the front yard or the patio. That stretch of coast is one of the most remarkable of all nature's demonstrations of waterless desolation. It is an elongated Sahara. From Coquimbo, one-third of the length of Chile below the Peruvian border to Guayaquil, in Ecuador, vegetation is unknown. An agreeable effect is to relieve the equatorial heat along the coast and the slope of the Andes of humidity. MAKE A TEST OF STRENGTH Peculiar Contest Waged by Elephants In Dispute Over the Companionship of Female. When two male elephants compete for the companionship of a female, says the duke of Montpensier, in Wide World Magazine, they do not forget their dignity so far as to fight for the lady. They simply face each other squarely. Then one of them pulls down a branch from a tree with his trunk and lays it at his feet. The other takes a larger branch, or pulls up a big shrub by the roots, and also lays it at his feet. No. 1 then tackles a still bigger branch, and this strange competition goes on, turn and turn about, until at last the contestant try to pull down trees wholesale, and the one who fails to uproot his tree in turn is abandoned by the lady elephant, who has been an interested spectator of the strange duel. She departs with the possessor of the largest tree, and the vanquished elephant retires shame-faced. This trial-of-strength species of courtship is very remarkable when contrasted with the ordeal of battle of most other animals, and shows the highly developed intelligence of these enormous creatures. Saw for Newlyweds. Many of the small towns in Europe have distinctive wedding customs which must be observed, and of these the old mountain town of Wildermann, in Germany, claims one that is particularly interesting and quaint. On the day before the wedding the young men interested in the couple place a sawhorse on the top of the house where the bride is lodging, usually upon a chimney, and the bridegroom has to take it down before the wedding. On the wedding day the couple find a rope barring their way after they leave the church, and they are not allowed to pass until they have sawn in two the knotty log lying upon the horse. The inhabitants of the town gather around to watch the sawing which is supposed to show whether or not the couple will pull well together—Popular Mechanics. Rabelais Always Humorist. Rabelais Always Humorist. Rabelais was a monk long before he wrote his drolleries, but that he was a humorist first is evidenced by the many practical jokes which brought down upon him the punishment of his spiritual superiors. In his case the priestly profession became too confined for his talents and he made a better doctor of the body than he had been of the soul, but it was his career as a wit that brings fame into our day. His Gargantuan stories stand as his record, and their grim, grave humor reflect the man; that they read coarse to us is merely the accident of their age. Rabelais hit hard, but he was returning blow for blow and fierce irony was a necessary weapon of the time. Coal Was Used 3,000 Years Ago. Greek writers 500 years before the Christian era mention coal in their works, and it was no uncommon thing in Egypt 500 years before that. A long gap apparently comes after that, and coal is not heard of again until in England, somewheres about the time of William the Conquerer in the eleventh century. Records are found granting the privilege of mining for it to the people. It was not until well along in the sixteenth century that coal was used to any extent in Paris, and in Germany the date of its beginning was even later. O. B. MOSS, PROP. New, clean and neat rooms.

Manager Huggins still leads his hired hands with the bludgeon. Charlie Doolin, manager of the Phillies, is thirty-three years old. Roger Bresnahan is probably the highest priced substitute in either league. Eimer Knetzer, the star hold-out of the Dodgers, has joined the Pittsburgh Federal league team. Harry Davis is credited by Philadelphia fans with much of this year's success of the Athletics. Even Ed Reulbach will be able to get the ball over the plate every once in a while during the hot spell. Helnie Zimmerman says he would rather bat against Rube Marquard than anybody else he can mention. When the sun shines most anything is likely to happen in baseball. That in what makes it the national game. Carl Weilman, the lanky hurler of the Browns, who looked like a hummer early in the spring, has hit a shump. Catcher Schang of the Athletics is one of the few men in baseball who can bat well either right or left handed. Joe Birmingham, the Naps' leader, is out to have the rule which prohibits blocking off base runners on thrown balls enforced. Lavans, the young shortstop of the Browns, is a former University of Michigan player, and was a sensation in his position. It is said that the Cubs have offered $12,000 for Pitcher Shawkey of the Orioles, for whom a number of clubs have been angling. George Stallings is making a determined effort to build up a good team in Boston and will probably meet with success before he gets through. Three American league managers—Callahan, Stahl and Birmingham—are willing to see the Senators peacefully settle down in the second division. June 1 has been left far in the rear and yet Konechy has not displaced Huggins and Bresnahan has not succeeded Evers. For purposes of brevity western papers are calling Federal league clubs the "Cleveland Feds," "St. Louis Feds," etc. Catcher Roberts, bought by the Cardinals from the Missoula Union association club, bears the nickname of Skipper. Hal Chase, sometimes, is the entire White Sox team. Sometimes he isn't. He is paid on the basis of what he is when he is. Babe Borton, now with the Yankees, handles himself like a finished felder, but hasn't been doing much hitting to speak of. Ivy Wingo, the Cardinals' catcher, is accused by Charles Dooin of possessing even redder hair than he (Dooin) tosses. The Washington players claim that Nick Altrock is the best southpaw hurler to keep the runners close to the bags. Dodge, the infielder of the Reds, is said to be a marvel on hard stops, and is said to have a beautiful and accurate throw to first. They say that the wildness of Sam Pelton, the Harvard partner, caused his battery partner, Catcher Young, to lose 11 pounds in the Yale games. Many major league clubs have been dickering for the services of Out-Belder Chapelle of the Milwaukee club of the American association. Kid Eiberfeld is doing great work with the stick. The Chattanooga manager is batting at a 348 clip and is second in the Dixie league in slugging. Pitcher Mosely of the Youngstown Interstate club, who has been recalled by the Red Sox, attracted McAleer's attention this time by means of a no-hit game. Zeider classes high as a batter for the New York Highlanders. If Chance only could permit him to bat the ball for Borton and let Borton field the ball for Zeider. Bill Dahlen says his team is having more than its share of bad luck. The batters and pitchers are going through their slump at the same time. "There was not a thing that was held Maraayville on the spring training trip," says Manager Stallings of the Braves, "but what he stowed away in the back of his head, and he is springing it in every game where opportunity arises." The grand old men of baseball—Hans Wagner, thirty-nine years old; Middie Plank, thirty-eight years old; Christy Mathewson, thirty-three. Both Matty and Plank have been in the game for 13 seasons, while Honus has on the diamond for 17. George Stovall, the scrappy leader of the St. Louis American league team, is the regular first baseman of his club, but is often benched because of his differences with the umpires. Stovall at one time played with the Detroit Tigers and also was with the Cleveland Naps before he took charge of the fortunes of the St. Louis aggregation. Manager Chance contemplates several other changes on the New York team. Chick Gandil has been enjoying a fine batting streak since his return to the Washington lineup. The Phillies promise to equal the records made by the Giants last season in the matter of home runs. In a game between Denver and Topeka at Denver, Cy Forsythe of Topeka got five hits in five times up. Milwaukee fans are not a bit worked up over the fact that the Brewers have a good chance to land the American league flag this year. Artie Riggs concluded he had enough of umpiring in the Cotton States league and quit when he got an offer from the North Carolina circuit. Twice this season Lester Channell of Denver has made two home runs in a game. In his last performance his two circuit-clouts scored a total of five runs. Eli Cates, who has served terms in the majors and various minor leagues, principally on the Pacific coast, is now one of the hustling "youngsters" with the Pittsburgh team of the Federal league. Albert Jacobson, the veteran pitcher, who was the property of St. Thomas, has been made an ampire in the Canadian league, succeeding McLaughlin, who was forced to quit because of bad health. In the five games in which Slim Love was making his runless innings record with Selma in the Cotton States league, he gave but 19 hits, an average of less than four to the game. --- There is another Collins on the Athletic team, Manager Mack having signed a young college pitcher of the famous name. His first name is Bob and he has a record of striking out 58 men in 32 innings. --- Babe Hollis, a player with Calgary in the Western Canada league, is entitled to a place in the annals of baseball. In each game of a double header with Moose Jaw on June 9, he hit a homer with the bases full. SPORTING WORLD Wolgast admits that he has gone back, but does not intend to withdraw from the ring. Grand Opera finally picked up a record of 2:18 3-4 in a winning race at Saskatoon. Grace is training nicely for the free-for-all trots and has been in 2:14, last half in 1:02 1-2. Fourteen-year-old Tom Thorpe, a brother of Jim Thorpe, has just entered Carlisle (Pa.) Indian school. The annual horse show in Madison Square garden, New York city, will take place on November 15 to 22. Minor Heir and George Gano will try and lower the team pacing record of 2:02 at the Syracuse meeting. Lippincott and his classmate, Patterson, ran a dead heat in 0:09 4-5, equaling the intercollegiate record in the 100-yard dash, at the annual freshmanphomore sports at the University of Pennsylvania. It is probable American and English polo authorities will meet in the near future and arrange more definite rules to govern the great equestrian game, both here and abroad, instead of each country playing its own rules. The best pacing mile at Cleveland is in 2:06 3-4, by Evelyn W., or two seconds behind the local record. The eastern intercollegiate cross-country run will be decided over the Van Cortlandt Park course, New York City, on November 22. Charles Prasse, better known as "Sailor Burke," has been engaged to instruct the sailor at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in the many art of self-defense. The position pays $1,800 a year with the rank of warrant officer. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 2. 1913. --- SEASON'S STYLES SPELL COMFORT Charming Clothes in Summer Mode Enable Wearer to Be Cool and Look Well. TUB FABRICS OF ALL SORTS Apparently Almost Every Variety of Material Is Adapted for Washing— —Flounced Skirts Need Not Be Shunned Because of Work Involved. PARIS.—The summer girl, if she be wise—and the majority of summer girls have an inherent wisdom in the matter of clothes—will take advantage of the dictates of fashion. Only once or twice in a decade does the fickle jade risk her reputation for inconsistency and allow her votaries to cloth themselves during the hot days in tulle and laces, abbreviated skirts, transparent bodices, short sleeves, low necks and the least possible amount of under-dressing. In past summers she has taken a malicious delight in demanding robes of heavy silks, long trailing skirts, lined bodices, close fitting sleeves extending over the hands, high choker collars and other styles more appropriate for winter days than for weather in which the thermometer is trying for new high records. In the midst of the rejoicing over the happy scheme of seasonable dressing for this summer there comes a seeming setback in the edict issued from Paris demanding furs. Just why furs should be worn in summer cannot be explained except in a vagary of fashion, writes a correspondent of the New York Times. Bands of fur have been used as trimmings on lingerie frocks for several seasons, but the idea never has met with popular approval. This year the advocates of this absurd whim are endeavoring to introduce large, heavy stoles of fur. The first attempt was made at the Drags races, but the extra covering proved so oppressive that the mankins returned their furs to the dressing rooms after wearing them once or twice around the clothes parade. This introduction, short as it was, gave ample opportunity for the leaders of the modes to realize the effective contrast afforded by the vivid orange hue of the new fox furs against the creamy tints of the old-world laces. The result was that on the following Sunday at the Grand Prix red fox stoles were seen everywhere, burdening the wearers of filmy tulle and lace frocks. Fortunately it is not obligatory to follow every whim of fashion in order to be chic and well dressed, and the woman who wishes to appear at her best on a hot day will not swelter under a fur stole. Easy to Look Cool. Aside from this digression, the summer girl has no excuse for not appearing cool and comfortable on all occasions. Some charming clothes may be developed as a result of a sane interpretation of the summer modes—costumes that will be delightfully cool to the wearer and that will look as cool as they feel, for if the first requisite for keeping cool is peace of mind, the second is the ability to look cool. For the morning there are striped and checked volles, quaintly sprigged limites, effective printed muslins, softly colored batistes and numerous varieties of the creepy weaves, besides the tub silks. All of these fabrics can be fashioned into cool looking frocks at a comparatively small expense. The discerning woman will prefer to have in her summer ward robes several of these frocks which can be sent frequently to the tub, rather than a limited number of more expensive gowns which must be shipped to the cleaners. The former may be sept immaculately fresh and clean and it is the fresh, clean frock that appeals to the eye on a hot morning. Even the amateur dressmaker has solved the difficulties of drapery sufficiently to drape one of the simple skirts worn in the morning, though the tunic skirts and also the plain skirts are quite as good looking as those displaying drapery and generally haunder more satisfactorily. The bodice requires only a dainty collar, the simpler the better, as trimming and a sash of some kind to conceal the joining of waist and skirt at a slightly raised or normal waist line. The fuchsia of net are delightfully cool looking, and add an attractive oldtime air to the plainest of frocks. Cuffs matching the collar finish the sleeves. There are rumors in the air that long sleeves are soon to be declared more fashionable than those of elbow length, so it behooves the summer girl to make the most of elbow sleeves this season. If she have ugly elbows or a bony lower arm, she should add an undersleeve of net. This undersleeve may be attached to the sleeve of the gown at the elbow, and caught at the wrist by narrow black velvet ribbon, a frill falling partly over the hand. As these undersleeves fall away from the arm in long, free folds, they cannot be considered warm or uncomfortable. They are certainly far cooler than gloves. Sheer Frocks. When a social function makes it imperative to shed one of these simple, cool looking frocks, a costume of tulle, net, chiffon or lace may be substituted. Even as recently as last On wearing Trousers If the "leader of Washington society" who proposes to clothe her sex in trousers could be successful, she would be anathema both of men and women. The gown as a distinctive feature of feminine apparel has its reason in the eternal fitness of things and in its innate possibilities of beauty. If it could be reformed into trousers, the masculine world would be largely disenchanted and the feminine world be deprived of one of its sources of charm and illusion. We summer one was compelled to array one's self in a frock of silk, or at any rate one lined with silk, for any social occasion more formal than an afternoon tea. Naturally, one grumbled, but this summer the grumbling has been changed to rejoicing, for the frocks, grouped under the name "linger," are so very sheer that it is joy to defy the heat by wearing them. There is now a washable tulle, or net, which can withstand the ministrations of the laudread almost as well as muslin. The new flounced skirts, however, are not particularly easy to iron, especially when one or more of the flouses are pleated. Still, there are pleating irons, and there are also cleaners, so why hesitate when fashion demonstrates so conclusively the charm of these flouses? The foundation skirt, either of the tulle or of very supple silk, clings closely to the figure, and the flouses are kept very scant, so that the straight silhouette is not broken. By drawing the flouses up in the front and allowing them to fall longer at the sides and in the back the rounded effect in the front may be produced. This effect, which was so exaggerated that the women were compelled to pad over the abdomen, has rather lost favor in Paris, though the "hitching up" of the skirts continues, and since the early fall models display the same draping, probably will continue for some time at least. Choice of Color Important. The color goes a long way toward giving a cool and refreshing air to a frock. There are certain colors that absorb the heat rays. For this reason ```markdown ``` Cool for Summer. many women viewed with alarm the vogue for brilliant colors this spring. Their fears, fortunately, have proved groundless, for as the hot days approach white and the soft pastel shades are prevailing over the bright reds, greens and yellows. The bolder, brighter colors are reflected merely from the sash or girdle of a white frock. The jacket finishing this suit is one of the jaunty, little, inconsequential affairs that are ideal for hot weather. They are so gossamerlike in structure that they cannot possibly add any weight, yet they serve as a coat for women who never venture out of doors, as the English express it, "in the figure." Bands of yellow flowers trim the bottom of the jacket, which is silt in the back to display the bow of the sash. The collar suggests the chasuble style, which in its original form was nothing more than an awkward uprising of a straight piece of goods. Instead of jewels and embroidery as stiffening, the modern designers use collar bones or wires. The effect is very similar, though the collars are far more comfortable to the necks of the moderns. Arrangement for Open Bodice. The bodice accompanying this suit is likewise of chiffon, with the very low V-shaped neck, partly filled in with tulle. Only one's sense of modesty regulates the depth of the V opening in the blouses. Fashion, which ever runs to extremes, has evidently decided not to place any limit. Conservative women have sought the aid of tulle in filling in this opening, though the flesh colored tulle is at the best a mere subterfuge, for the effect from a distance is quite as startling as with the bare flesh. This effect is heightened when only a veiling of chiffon covers the shoulders; in fact, the chic dress of today is rapidly approaching in andactivity that worn in the Second Empire, when a wide girdle and a slight veiling over the bust was deemed sufficient covering. A glance at any of the pictures of the Empress Josephine will tell the story more vividly than words can do. Dainty Summer Dress. A dainty dress of plain and figured material is shown in the sketch. The skirt is perfectly plain, and the foot is turned up with a deep hem. The basque of figured material is gathered in at the waist, and has open fronts; those of the bodice are caught together by buttons connected by a braid loop over a vast of finely tucked plain material; the sleeve is set to the long shoulder under a wrapped seam. rather think the wearing of actual trousers by the laidies will be postponed for some time to come.

"A boss," he said, "was dining two rival candidates. Harmony was highly desirable and the boss, hoping to establish a harmonious atmosphere, said genially: "Boys, what'll we drink with our dinner?" "I'll dring buttermilk," said the first candidate. "Give me a small glass of seltzer and lemon," said the second. "The waiter turned to the disappointed boss, whose red fat, jovial face was wrinkled up in a frown. "And what's yours, shr? "Gee," said the boss dismally, "I guess you'd better bring me an emetic."
