ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1913. BIG JUBILE CELEBRATION. How Bishop Phillips Raised Large Sum. For Mission Work. Nashville, Teen.—Nothing of the kind within recent years has equaled or surpassed in interest, activity or good fellowship the missionary congress and enamulation celebration recently held here by Bishop C. H. Phillips of the Fifth Episcopal district of the colored Methodist Episcopal church. The rally for missions was conducted on the basis of 1 cent per member for each year since freedom. There are 7,781 members in the fifth district, and the amount raised was $3,957. There was great enthusiasm throughout the celebration. The Rev. D. A. Walker, presiding elder of the Cleveland district of the Kentucky and Ohio conference, was crowned "money king" of the fifth district among presiding elders on account of having raised more money than all the leaders above the amount assessed by Bishop Phillips. The Rev. J. L. Thompson, Carlisle, Ky.; P. W. Garrett, Dawson Springs, Ky.; P. H. Jones, Chattanooga, and T. H. Capeland, Chattanooga, were each crowned "money king" among the ministers who raised the most money in their several annual conferences over all other pastors. "Nashville," a song composed by Dr. Jasper Tuppen Phillips, M. D., younger son of the bishop, was the official ode of the congress and became a popular favorite with the public. The program of welcome included an inspiring address by Governor B. W. Hooper, address by the Hon. A. B. Johnson, acting for the mayor, representatives from the various educational institutions, religious bodies and the Negro board of trade. Resolutions were adopted in reference to the death of the late Mrs. Phillips, expressing love and affection for Bishop Phillips in the severe loss which he sustains in the death of his wife. The missionary program dealt with timely topics relating to that feature of church work—race conditions and progress. The crowning feature of this unique and profitable festival was the magnificent reception tendered the delegates and many of the leading families in Nashville by Bishop Phillips and his daughters at their beautiful $10,000 home, among the handsome in the south and located in one of the residential sections of Nashville. Over three hundred guests were entertained. Miss L. Emma Phillips presided over most of diners with ease and great dignity. The Negro board of trade also entertained the delegates and visitors royally with trolley rides and an excursion and banquet at Hadley park, one of Nashville's exclusive resorts. Woman's night also came in for its full share of the good things in literary, spiritual and social uplift which the occasion afforded. ENERGETIC BUSINESS MAN. Success of Joseph S. Fennell, Who Uses Modern Methods: Baltimore.—Modern business methods are beginning to play a more potent part in the life of the men of the race who have ventured into business pursuits. In most all sections men are coming to the front who are slowly, but surely, showing that they have in them the material that characterizes men who do things. Probably in no line is the desire to be modern in every particular more evident than among the comparatively few men of the race who have entered the drug business. Up to date methods, fine equipment and pleasing service have combined to make these places an indication of what the future offers to the young colored business man. In Baltimore, where there is a number of drug stores run by Afro-Americans, each is aiming to keep up a pace equal to that of the best. This is strikingly evident in the one run by Joseph S. Fennell on Druid Hill avenue and Biddle street. This corner has been occupied by a drug store for the past seventy years. Mr. Fennell bought the property three years ago and made a number of improvements. It is now one of the best establishments of its kind in Baltimore. Through a desire to please as well as to anticipate every need of a customer he has built up a business of no mean yearly volume. An idea of the regard that some southern whites have for progressive colored business men was evidenced by a middle aged white man who was showing an elderly white woman the sights of the city a few weeks ago. "See that drug store over there?" he said. "That is run by a colored man. All the clerks are colored, and it is one of the best in the city." That spoke volumes for the man or men of the race who do things so as to attract the attention of discriminating whites north or south. Mr. Fennell was born on a farm near West River, Md. For a number of years he was a waiter and, being of frugal habits, saved a quite sum. He is an ardent Knights of Pythias, and his store will be the headquarters during the session of the supreme lodge here the latter part of August. New Military Regulations In France. During their enlistment the colored regiments of the French colonies will be stationed in Paris. This decision was reached by Minister of War M. Ellenne after completing his plans for putting into operation the government's new three year military service measure. It is said that colored soldiers are well liked and very popular in France. The new plan includes the bringing into service in France, soldiers from the colonies of Guiana, Reunion Island, Guadeloupe and Martinique. BIG PROGRAM OF HIGH MERIT. Elaborate Preparations Have Been Made For the Entertainment of Delegates and Visitors to the Annual Convention of the National Medical Association, Which Begins Aug. 26. Nashville, Tenn. — Preparations for the entertainment of the National Medical association, which will convene in this city Aug. 26 to 28, have been completed, and there is every indication that this will be the greatest session in the history of the organization. The committees in charge of the local arrangements have made every effort and have spared no pain to give a rousing welcome and a hospitable reception to the visiting delegates and friends. Ample accommodations have been provided for all those who expect to be present, and the social functions, while not numerous or ostentations, will be nevertheless enjoyable. These will include a smoker for the gentlemen, a reception for the visiting ladies, a banquet at the state capitol of Tennessee and an auto ride to the Hermitage, the birthplace of Andrew Jackson. Advices received from the general secretary of the National Medical association indicate that the program this year will be one of high, scientific merit and great popular interest. There will be a wealth of papers on all subjects connected with medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, and arrangements have been made for holding numerous clinics in all of these branches. The secretary of the dental section, Dr. W. E. Braswell of Atlantic City, N. J., has arranged a most excellent program, consisting of papers, clinics, demonstrations and a public meeting for the benefit of parents and school children. Dr. H. B. Marble of Yazoo City, Miss., secretary of the pharmaceutical section, is preparing an elaborate display of exhibits for that section. Reduced rates have been secured on all railroads leading to Nashville, and the prevailing rate will be about one and one-half of the regular fare. A special car will be run from Washington, in charge of Dr. A. M. Curtis, 1939 Thirteenth street N. W., Washington; one from Richmond, in charge of Dr. D. A. Ferguson, First and Marshall streets, Richmond, and one from Jacksonville, Fla., in charge of Dr. H. A. Anderson, 425 Broad street, Jacksonville. This plan insures a comfortable and congenial trip for all of those who expect to attend, and those who expect to board the train at any point along the line will do well to communicate with either of the aforementioned gentlemen. Some of the more prominent members of the profession who will positively be present are: Dr. A. M. Curtis, Washington; Dr. W. A. Warfield, Washington; Dr. M. O. Dumas, Washington; Dr. P. A. Johnson, New York city; Dr. G. E. Cannon, Jersey City, N. J.; Dr. A. W. Williams, Chicago; Dr. D. H. W. Williams, Chicago; Dr. Val Do Turner, St. Paul, Minn.; Dr. J. E. Hunter, Lexington, Ky.; Dr. Rivers Frederick, New Orleans; Dr. A. M. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. E. T. Belsaw, Mobile, Ala.; Dr. W. F. Penn, Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. D. A. Ferguson, Richmond, Va. From advices already received this will be the largest convention in point of attendance in the history of the organization, and the committee in charge of local affairs and the officers of the organization are hoping that every physician, dentist and pharmacist in the country will this year avail himself of membership in the organization THE HUMBLE POLITICIAN. Views of a Well Known Washington Writer of Present Situation. Washington—About the most defected set of men seen around the capitol of the nation these days are the colored Democrats who supported Woodrow Wilson, says a well known Washington newspaper correspondent. They believed that his election would pave the way for colored men to support all political parties and point to the fact that their aid was solicited in the campaign last fall. Now that the party of their second choice is in power, they have seen all kinds of movements started by Democrats to limcrow and humilate the race. Colored Republican officeholders have not only been forced from their positions, but not a single colored adherent of the party of Jefferson and Jackson has landed. The south is in the saddle, and men who are senators and congressmen by reason of the Negro having been robbed of the bailot are loud in the assertions that the race shall receive no preferment. They are against the Negro. and while they want to see white men have all the jobs they are willing to show their hostility to the race by giving an Indian the position of register of the treasury, for which a Negro Democrat, Adam E. Patterson, was first named. TRAINING YOUNG DISCIPLES. Sunday School Workers Hold Great Uplift Meeting In Charlotte. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Charlotte, N. C.-What the Afro-American Baptists of North Carolina, through their Sunday schools have accomplished during the fifty years of freedom of the race in America, was fittingly set forth in this city, where the forty-first annual Baptist State Sunday school convention was held the second week in August. Large delegations from every section of the state were present, and the enthusiasm of the ardent Sunday school workers was unbounded. The remarkable development of this great agency of the church was evidenced in many ways, and there was a holy ambition on the part of the delegates to make the work of the Sunday school for the reaching of all classes of their race more effective. The annual address of Dr. A. M. Moore, president of the convention and DR. A. M. MOORE. treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, prominent philanthropist and superintendent of the White Rock Baptist Church Sunday school, Durham, was a splendid feature of the convention. The meeting excelled all past records during Dr. Moore's administration. He, with the assistance of such workers as Colonel James H. Young, Dr. A. W. Pegues, Dr. N. F. Roberts, Rev. M. A. Talley, Dr. C. S. Brown and others, has made this convention among the most interesting, inspiring and helpful events among Afro-Americans in this section of the state. Although one of the leading physicians of the race in the south and connected with many movements and a man kept busy by many affairs, Dr. Moore has in his commonplace way of bringing things to pass made this the jubilee year for the Afro-American Sunday school workers in the state. The program this year was especially good. The demonstrative work and other strong features of the program, having such men as Dr. C. S. Morris of Norfolk, Va.; Dr. C. S. Brown, president of the Lott Carey convention; Dr. E. M. Brawley, Dr. A. W. Pegues, Rev. M. A. Talley, Dr Lewis, pastor of the church in which the convention was held, and Dr S. N. Vass made this feature of human endeavor an epoch making one. Dr. Charles S. Morris has aroused the whole state among Baptists in the interest of foreign missions. The recent tour of the state under the management of a group of members of the Lott Carey convention did much for the work of African missions. Such laymen as Mr. C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association; Dr. F. S. Hargraves of Wilson, Colonel James H. Young of Raleigh and a host of others are very active in this work. The Sunday schools in the rural districts sent large delegations that entered enthusiastically into the services, took in every important phase of the convention and the results will show that the people in the rural districts will be greatly benefited. The citizens of Charlotte made the stay of the hundreds of delegates one of both pleasure and profit. MEETING OF METHODISTS Baltimore Conference to Hold Session In Washington Aug. 22. The Potomac district of the Baltimore A. M. E. conference will hold its annual session at the Ebenezer A. M. E. church in Washington, beginning Aug. 22. The district takes in churches in southern Maryland and the District of Columbia. An attractive program has been provided. The Rev.W. D. Naylor is the entertaining pastor. The Rev. C. H. Steptheau, one of the best known ministers in this section of the country, is presiding elder of the district. He has filled prominent charges in the Virginia and Baltimore conferences, and is regarded as being one of the best equipped of the clergy. He was a delegate to the general conference held in the spring of 1912. Supreme Lodge of Royal Friends. The Arkansas Baptist college in Little Rock, Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president, shows its interest in the success of a former graduate by throwing open its doors during the vacation season for the annual meeting of the Royal Circle of Friends of the World, of which Dr. R. A. Williams, M. D., of Helena, Ark., is the honored and highly esteemed president. This institution, the alma mater of Dr. Williams, has produced scores of able men and women who are doing noble work for the race. The supreme lodge meets in September. Delegates are expected in large numbers from the eight states where the order has a large membership and many local branches. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Sam McCall is an ex-slab, illiterate and seventy-five years old, but he is teaching the farmers of the world some noteworthy lessons. 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 eightth of an acre of land. Sam McCall has developed a method of cultivation on once worthless land which is so successful that he thinks nothing now of producing three or four bales of cotton on an acre, or eight bushels of oats or corn. When Sam was made free he bought land to the amount of 160 acres. He cultivated forty acres and the first year he made hardly enough to keep himself. He concluded that with his limited equipment and in view of the fact that he was doing practically all his own work it would be wise for him to reduce the amount of land. He gradually brought his cultivated farm down to two acres, and for twenty-four years has spent all his time and energies in what farm experts examples of the most farming carried on in the United States. According to some who have gone to Alabama to study his methods, the reason for the ex-slab's success in agriculture is due largely to the fact that he has manufactured nitrogen in the soil unknowingly by feeding the soil bacteria with carbo-hydrates and cellulose, coming from the refuse of the crops. McCall's land is part of an abandoned farm. Before he began to cultivate it the soil was perhaps as bad as any that can be found on any farm in the southern states. The former slave knew nothing of scientific methods of cultivation, but he was a good observer. He noticed white farmers in his section gathering leaves in the fall to spread over their land to form humus in the soil. He had never heard of the word humus, but he concluded the white farmers knew what they were doing and he followed suit. He later decided to use the refuse of all crops as fertilizer. At the time he began to cultivate his land commercial fertilizers were little known, and the ex-slab has never made use of them. Dawson (Texas) News. Asphalt was known to the ancients, and this material is said to have been employed as a binder in a masonry by the Babylonians. The business and professional Negro men of Chicago are considering the advisability of organizing a national Negro exposition and semi-centennial to be held in this city in 1915. The purpose of the exposition is to exploit the skill of the Negro craftsman and, presumably, to show how greatly the Negro has progressed in civilization since his emancipation in America. It is an excellent idea and it is to be hoped that it will be carried out. The year 1915 will mark a half century since the American Negro has been free. In that time he has accomplished a great deal, but the full story of his accomplishment is not as well known outside of his own race as it should be. An exposition such as the one proposed will tell that story more fully and vividly than in any other way, and it is a story not only worth the telling, but highly necessary to be told. At such an exposition the country will be enabled to see with its own eyes what the negro has done and what he is capable of doing.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Hotel Brotherhood, the largest colored organization of hotel, restaurant and club employees in Philadelphia, celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of its organization. The brotherhood was formed 30 years ago by the waiters and bellmen in the several hotels, restaurants and clubs, its objects being to be of mutual help to both employers and employees. It has steadily grown until its membership numbers 600 of the most reliable employees in this line of work. Their headquarters, which they own, have just been renovated at considerable expense, and it was the reopening, together with the thirtieth anniversary, which was celebrated by a large outpouring of the members, their wives and friends. High living never qualifies one for the higher life. To keep moles from a bed, sink a close-mesh wire netting a foot wide into the soil around, allowing it to extend about two inches above the surface. If you have no netting, use boards. Either will prevent the entrance of moles into the bed. A municipal 'bus line in Detroit is operated on a three-cent fare basis. Remember, brother farmer, that the hot weather and hard work tax the strength of your wife. She will enjoy going to the store with you and riding slowly home in the cool of the evening. Opportunity is a gum-shoe caller with a noiseless knock. If you want to kill weeds, cultivate or bore them when the sun shines hot. 1. Separation of the white and the colored or African races in the street cars—city, in urban and interurban—and in the government departments located in the District of Columbia, as provided in a bill introduced in the house of representatives by Representative Joe B. Thompson of Oklahoma. The preamble asserts it is "to promote the comfort of passengers and to provide for the separation of the races on street cars, suburban and interurban cars, and in the various departments of the government in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes. Penalties are provided for all violations of the law, and in the case where the violation occurs in the government departments, not only is punishment provided by court, but it is also made a cause for dismissal from the service. Relating to the use of street cars by the different races, the bill provides that on the street cars separate compartments "equal in all points of comfort and convenience" shall be provided for the white and colored races; and that a board or marker, placed in a conspicuous place, bearing appropriate words in plain letters indicating the race for which it is set apart, shall be sufficient as a separate compartment within the meaning of this act." Provision for punishment is made for any passenger who refuses to obey the rules and for any company which refuses to enforce them. Further than this, it is set forth that "should any passenger refuse to occupy the compartment to which he or she is assigned by the officer of such company, said officer shall have the power to refuse to carry such passenger." Taking up the matter of the separation of races in the departments, the bill provides for separate compartments in every department of the government where both white and colored are employed. The fiftieth anniversary edition of the Negro Year Book was issued by Monroe N. Work, superintendent of records and research at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, and forms one of the most complete encyclopedias of the race ever published. The book contains more than 400 pages of indexed information regarding the colored race, its history, its great men, its schools, charitable institutions, ministers and its aims and past victories. "The progress that these 10,000,000 negroes have made since their emancipation," says the compiler of the Year Book, "may be summarized under three heads—namely, educational, economic and religious. No other people have given a larger percentage of their earnings for religious work. Over 80 per cent of the total wealth of the negro is in church property. Today they own church property worth $57,000,000." The book contains a complete history of the negro in America up to 1913, as well as a treatise on the legislation enacted in the United States on behalf or against the race. In the chapter on agriculture it is told that the increase in the number of negro farmers in the country was 19.6 per cent from 1900 to 1910. According to statistics contained in the Year Book, Georgia has the largest colored population in the Union, while Washington, D. C., leads the cities with 94,446 and New York second with 91,709. Contained also in the annual is the official proclamation of Booker T. Washington regarding the fiftieth anniversary celebration of emancipation, which will be held from October 19 to 26. More than 2,000,000 horse power is obtained from Japan water courses by 383 hydroelectric plants. New Orleans' last chance of holding the Southern university was canceled at a meeting of the board of directors, at which Gov. Luther E. Hall was present, when a committee was appointed to select a new site, and also to sell the buildings and grounds of the university. J. S. Clark, a negro educator of Baton Rouge, was named as president of the institution, succeeding H. A. Hill. As to where the new institution will be located, is unknown, although it is generally understood that Alexandria, Shreveport and Baton Rouge have made attractive offers for the institution. It will undoubtedly go to the city or town making the most attractive offer in cash and a property site. In the southern states alone negroes are proprietors of ten thousand general stores, three hundred pharmacies and fifty-seven banking institutions. In the entire country they own twenty million acres of land and more than six hundred thousand houses. St. Louis is to have a hobo hotel, to be built by the organization of tramps formed by James Eads How, from contributions solicited from the public.

The out-of-town guests were Mrs. S. C. Bolden of Chicago and Mrs. George W. Sampson of Xenia. We cannot understand how any of our churches and Christian organizations can participate in Luna Park "celebrations," knowing as they should that they thus promote the beer and whiskey-selling at the park. Rev. Edward H. Doan of Louisville, Ky., and Rev. R. W. Bagnall of Detroit, former rectors of St. Andrews, P. E. church, will attend services Sun. at 10:30 A. M. The latter will be the guest of J. W.

McIntire's, Wednesday night, was followed by a man, claiming to be a West Indian, by the name of J. H. Smith. He also said he had an Antioch Baptist priest. This is a deacon, a minister. He knocked her down (after leaving the Euclid Ave. car) in Amber Heights, but her screams brought R. P. Kinney for whom she works, and others. They beat him good, and turned him over to the police. He is now in jail, awaiting trial.

The Original Abyssinia Minstrels at the Grand theater Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, of this week, were all that was anticipated and more. The singing, dancing and comedian work were all of a high order—unusually so. "Dinah" Scott, Pittman and the "Fox" Fowler were bright stars of the two evenings show. This is no reflection on the other participants, all of whom thoroughly pleased the large audiences both evenings, because they were above the average. Messrs. Allen H. Dorsey and Harry S. Copeland, have every reason to feel proud of the Original Abyssinia Minstrels. Many of the ladies in attendance both evenings were beautifully gowned.

How Some of Our Church Organiza- tions Promote Beer and Whiskey- Selling—Another Failure. About 150 to 200 of our people at the most, attended the "picnic" at Luna Park, Monday, given by the Forest City Sanitary club, the King's Daughters of Antioch Baptist church, and the Attucks Literary club. It was evening practically before the few Colored people in attendance at the park arrived. They were greeted with a sign in large letters on the outside of the dance-hall, on its front wall, which read as follows: THIS DANCE-HALL RESERVED FOR COLORED PEOPLE AFTER 9:30 P. M. In the same relative position on the outside of the roller-skating rink there appeared this sign. RINK RESERVED FOR COLORED PEOPLE AFTER 9:30 P. M. The rink closed at 11 P. M. and the dance-hall at 11:30 P. M. Between 10 and 20 couples used the latter for really less than two hours, about one-half of them being whites. From 30 to 50 were on the floor of the former hall, and 20 were on the floor of a half. At 9:45 P. M. the manager of the dance-hall announced through a megaphone that all white people were to leave and the Colored people were to take the floor, adding that all whites who wished to dance with the Colored people, might do so. This, too, in the face of the fact that Colored people were to dance with the whites nearly every other day and evening in the year. In the roller-skating rink, the manager announced that white people were to leave the floor and that Colored people were to us the rink. The swimming-pool, as usual, was closed to our people, and the Colored people, this affair, of Monday last, was another dismal failure, just as it should have been. It is a difficult thing for us to understand why any of our people will persist in patronizing Luna Park, in the face of such insulting discrimination. It is even more difficult for The Gazette to understand how any church organization (or Christian) can promote any celebration at that park, because of the beer and whiskey-selling practices there—possibly the most glamorous. The剧院 are promoting its interests—helping it to dispose of its beer, whiskey, wines, etc. The various churches, and their other organizations who, in the past, have been in the habit of accenting the various "catch-penny" inducements, offered by those of our people who have given celebrations of one kind or another at Luna Park, are fine (?) Christian, temperance organizations, to say the least. Talk about "tainted money"—what in the name of the Lord is the money they receive as the result of such questionable efforts—efforts in the promotion of intemperance, as a matter of fact. "THE MASSES MUST SUFFER." Editor Gazete, Dear Sir: I see by our paper, The Gazette, that you are still working hard for the race. Our southern delegates, going to the Chicago convention and voting for Taft, has spilled the pie. Now, they will have pie filled with sawdust, or worse, and it serves them right. A few have full-pockets and the masses must suffer. I wish there were fifty such fearless men like you. I am glad that through your splendid leadership and efforts, the Ohio Legislature voted down the unfair intermarriage bill. I hope you may live to enjoy some of the things you are fighting for.

BASEBALL Clymer is doing excellent work with the Braves. Beals Becker has made good with the Philadelphia fans. They say that at the keystone sack Ty Cobb is another Hal Chase. No, Gregg's first name isn't Vean. It is Sylveanus—Vean for short. Kink Cole is a shining example of what a pitcher can do if given a real chance. The Athletics have one of the best catching staffs in the country in Schang, Thomas and Lapp. Manager Griffith has as good a quartet of hurriers in Johnson, Engel, Groom and Boehling as there is in the league. Each season some ball player goes to sleep on a base hit to right field and is thrown out before he can get to first. Maranville is fielding the ball faster and with more accuracy than any other shortstop in the big leagues this year. Jack Stansbury, one of the American association sluggers a year ago, is batting far below the .300 mark this season. "George Dauss is pitching the closest brand of ball in the league," says Umpire Tommy Connolly of Ban Johnson's staff. Bob Bescher of the, Reds is getting roasted hard by the fans of Cincinnati. The outfielder has been pulling some bone plays. Leverenz is a product of the Chicago corner lots. Walter says working in a blacksmith shop is what gave him his strong wing. Jimmy Toman, the Northwestern league umpire, will officiate in the National league in 1914, President Fielder Jones announced. Manager Jennings is thinking of making an outfielder of Edgar Willett, his big hurler, who can bang the ball with the best of them. Owner Col. Bob Hedges of the Browns claims that he has the three best southpaws in the world in Hamilton, Leverenz and Weilman. One player who stubbornly refuses to take the count at the hands of Time is Eddie Plank—one of the wonders of the age in the big pastime. Joe Tinker is dickering with the Kansas club for Cy Morgan, who has been pitching some good ball in the American association this summer. Fred Walker, former University of Chicago pitcher, and later known as the Mysterious Mitchell of baseball, has signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Davy Jones, the former Detroit and Chicago player, is hammering the pill all over the American association lots. Davy is hitting the pellet at a .345 clip. Dapper Miller Huggins fast is convincing the St. Louis fans that he long ago was qualified for the position as manager that was passed to Bresnahan. There will be some wire-pulling on the part of the umpire to get the job of officiating in the world’s series this fall because of the $1,00.0 that is to be paid. Frank Chance hopes to get his team into sixth place before many weeks have passed if he can only keep the tallenders going as well as they have recently. Dr. John Lavan, the whirlwind little shortstop of the Browns, has started hitting the ball with a vengeance, and it is now quite likely he will be able to hold his job. Pitchers Dlanding, Yhgling, Caldwell and Harmon are up in the .300 division. All except Harmon are doing better work in the batter's box than on the rubber. Manager Franch Chance says that the Athletics are a much better team this year than they ever were before. "They are better than they were in 1910," he says. Dick Rudolph, who seemed doomed to dwell indefinitely in the international league, but was rescued by George Stallings, has proved a consistent winner for the Braves. Any one who picked Pittsburg and Cincinnati for the second division before the season started would have found himself appearing before a lunacy commission. Yet— Two former Detroit Tigers are batting over the .300 mark in the American association. Jim Delehanty is clouting the ball at a .300 clip, while Claud Rossman is leading him by a single point. Almeida, who was recently released by the Cincinnati club to the Montreal club, may not return to this country to play next year. The Cuban does not like to be forced into the minors after having had a taste of the big league. Dave Fultz says he is not worrying about losing his job as head of the baseball fraternity this fall. He denies the majority of the members of the association are refusing to pay their taxes, but claims that 90 per cent of the players have paid up. WALTER JOHNSON. HARRIS & EWING Manager Griffith proposes to use Walter Johnson as a relief hurler, and will use him in at least one-half of the remaining games played by the Senators. Griff proposes, whenever he sees a chance to take a game, to shoot Walter into the box and stop the rungetting of his opponents. "I will volunteer to pitch every other day from September 1 to the end of the season if any time you think we are near enough to race the Athletics for the pennant," said Johnson to Griffith. "Regard that as a promise; know that I will be able to do it without impairing my form and in the meantime instruct the other fellows to pitch their arms off every time without fear of what shape they will be in later. If Radbourn and other old timers could do it, so can I." It is said that Frank Shugart, short-stopping for Pittsburgh twentyyears ago, was the last man to make too errors in a season. Some record! Tinker admits Heline Groh is the best second baseman he has ever seen. Evidently Joe does not think Evers was entitled to that distinction. Larry Lajole has taken on a new lease of life since he has been back in the game, and it is likely Birmingham will have to use the veteran for some time to come in spite of his desire to bench him. Harry Berry, owner of the Los Angeles club, says he is going to carry more than 20 men, in spite of the rule of the national commission which forbids Class AA from having over that limit. Shelton, Benson and Perring of the Columbus team of the American association recently pulled off a triple steal at the expense of Catcher Severold of the Louisville Colonels. Joe Jackson still leads the American league in batting. This leads the New York "American" to remark: "This is due to the fact that he never has ruined his eyesight reading literature." SPORTING WORLD The record mill at Lexington has nothing on that at Poughkeepsie where eight Bingaras recently were tincupped. The University of Chicago's reconstructed stadium, which cost $200,000, will be dedicated on October 4, when Chicago plays Indiana on the gridiron. It is estimated that the total initial cost of the London horse show is $250,000, of which $60,000 is devoted to prizes and $50,000 spent on decorations. The Garden City Golf club on Long Island is spending $20,000 putting its course in shape for the annual national amateur championship to take place there September 1 to 6. Eulabel, an outsider in the betting, won the final of the Tavern "steak" for 2:10 trotters in the last day's race of the grand circuit meeting over the North Randall tracks at Cleveland. The New Zealand rugby football team will reach San Francisco on October 2 and play a series of games for five weeks. In 1914 the California rugby teams will return the visit. Fordham is back on the Princeton schedule after some year's absence, and the latter school also takes on its fellow Catholics at Holy Cross, a game they have not staged since 1909. 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. Grand Opera keeps on winning and has knocked his mark down to 2:14 He is apt to be in fast company in another year. East Orange, N. J., has developed a unique distinction as a producer of football coaches. Howard Jones, who assumes charge of the destinies of the Blue in the fall, and his immediate predecessor, Arthur Howe, are both Orangers, along with Shipe and Underwood of Princeton, Pryor of Brown and A. A. Stagg of the Maroona. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. C. SATURDAY. AUGUST 23. 1913 QUAINTLY PRETTY IS BASKET HAT With Elaborate Trimmings, the Style Has Become Popular in Paris. WORN WITH TAILORED SUITS Well Called Triumph of the Milliners Art—Utility of Floating Veil Recognized—Walistcoats of White PARIS.—The basket hat is a qualit affair! It is shaped almost exactly like a small basket, and the handle is represented by a little string of velvet or satin passed tightly under the chin. These novel hats are trimmed with bunches of fruit or with careless wreaths of small flowers. M. Claude Cherys has sketched a basket hat to accompany this article. Here you have this new and quite original shape at its best. The model was made of Japanese straw in a deep shade of midnight blue and at one side there was a splendid "coq de roche" in a rich tomato red tint. The hat was tied under the chin with strings of deep blue tulle. This shape looks well when worn with tailored suits of white linen and the brilliant note introduced in the trimming of the hat might be repeated in the waistcoat or sash. Another Cherys hat is quite picturesque in outline. It is large and shady and the brim is not wired; the attraction of the hat is the supply brim, which falls into graceful curves with each movement of its wearer. This is a Carlier model. The hat itself is made of satin in a rich port wine shade, and this satin is veiled with dull blue chiffon. The low crown is wreathed with red berries framed in dark green leaves; at one side there is a mount of folded green leaves and berries. These wide "flop" shapes are very fashionable. They are made in all the newest varieties of straw as well in Leghorn and Tuscan. They demand a young and pretty face, for the "flop" hat is apt to add unwelcome years when adopted by a woman who has passed her first youth. Floating Veil Popular. The floating veil, which originally came from the States, is amazingly popular. There is a great art in arranging and wearing these long veils. NEW BASKET HAT. Quaint basket hat in deep blue straw, trimmed with an immense coq de roche in a deep shade of tomato red. Wide strings of blue tulle. To look well they must be pinned on the hat as though they were going to cover the face, and then they must be carelessly thrown back and allowed to fall loosely over the shoulders, or more correctly, over one shoulder. Several well known French women have long made a practice of wearing these vells. For example, Mme. Edmond Rostand, Mme. Catulle Mendes, the Vicomtesse d'Origny, Comtesse Gretfulhe and others. These long vells look splendid when made of real fine black lace; they are effective in white also, but the fine black lace vells meet with most approval from the exclusive Parisiennes. For the Trouville season these long vells will be in great demand. When stirred by sea breeze they float out in a delightful fashion, making a fascinating frame for face and hair. These vells can be worn with severely plain sailor shapes, when the brim of the hat is sufficiently wide; they do not look well with small sailor hats, though they can be made to give excellent effects when worn with close fitting touques. Varina laces are used for such vells as those just described, fine Chantilly, Malines, point d'Angleretree, etc. For garden hats or for morning wear at the seaside the most fashionable hats are those made of rough natural straw in the "canister" or sailor shape, or the same shape covered with fine linen in two shades. White linen canotiers lined with pale blue or pale linen look well when accompanied by a floating veil in pale tinted chiffon. Everything is done to bring about picturesque, extra, feminine effects. White Tulle Waistcoats. In Paris they are making a specialty of white tulle waistcoats, little sleeveless garments which give an air of extreme distinction to a simple linen suit. These waistcoats are sometimes set in fine tucks and bordered with a flat ruching, sometimes they are made of two thicknesses of Have you noticed fetching bows of satin peeping through the lace of a lingerie blouse? These bows have a deeper purpose than that of decoration. Pretty as they are, they are constantly giving forth a delicious fragrance, for each of the padded loops is scented with sachet powder. The sachet used is scented with one of the popular bouquet odors, and is particularly lasting. The bows may be bought in different colors. There are stunning roses scented tulle and left plain, with a border of washing silk in white or some very pale color. The prettiest possible buttons are introduced on these garments; baroque pearls, turquois set in rims of paste, little globes of pale quartz, etc. Now that lace and net frills are almost ubiquitous on the front of summer blouses these net and tulle waltcoats complete an ultrassimmetric costume. The suit itself may be of the plainest order, just a well tailored coat and skirt in white linen or thin blue serge. Both skirt and coat should be guiltless of trimming, but the frilled chemise and dainty waltcoat will make the whole thing a delight to the eye. In Flowered Silk. Flowered silk waistcoats fashioned in modified Louis XIV. style are also very fashionable. These waistcoats have pockets at breast and bips; they are always double breasted and they are frequently finished with buttons of great value. These Louis XIV. and Louis XV. waistcoats can be worn with all sorts and conditions of coats, those of satin, linen, serge, shantung, etc. Some of the new flowered silks sent out by the famous Lyons firms are rarely beautiful. Sometimes the ground is of shot silk and the flowers are of the "blurred" order, sometimes irregular sprays of roses or pansies are thrown against a ground of white watered silk. Great care must be taken to have buttons which harmonize with some leading tint in the flowers. In Paris the attention is concentrated on such apparent trifles as buttons and shoe buckles, with the result that a note of extreme richness is frequently added to an otherwise simple costume. New Neck Ruffles. Neck ruffles of the order in which in Paris is called "tour de cou" are more popular than ever. And they are made in endless variety. Some of the most charming are those composed of fine silk tulle in two, even three, different shades; for example, white, palm violet and black, or again, rose DuBarry, China blue and black. On the other hand the ruffles made of pure white tulle are full of fascination. They make an enchanting frame for the face and, comparatively inexpensive, are within reach of all. For young girls soft ruffles of white silk tulle with pale roses set into the folds are lovely. These ruffles can be tied by long lengths of soft satin ribbon or they can be invisibly fastened with a hook and eye. It is very much the fashion to make neck ruffles and hat trimmingts to match, a wide ruffle of black and white tulle inset with deep red roses circling the hat crown as well as the throat, for example. Home Made Rugs. Any woman may make at very small cost the most artistic rug to correspond with any desired color scheme. After cutting rugs in the usual way, sew them hit or miss, and then color them. This will produce a blended effect of many tones of the same color that is very effective. They should have a border of a good, plain corresponding tone, with a thread of contrasting color. These hit or miss rugs put through a bronze green dye and woven with a thread of old gold and dull green border are beautiful. Blue and white makes a dainty combination that, while delicate, will endure laudering. Another lovely rug is made by coloring the mixed center in buff. Edge this with a narrow strip of old rose and have a border of deep shaded brown, edged with just a thread of black. Many other artistic combinations may be used to suit the taste. Picnic Hint To keep butter cold, take two pans, one larger than the other, put the butter in the smaller pan, and set it into the larger, in which put two tablespoonfuls of salt and enough cold water to reach to the top of the smaller pan. Soak a clean flower pot in water and cover the butter. Resoak the flower pot every little while and the butter will stay firm. If you are in the country where you can get hay, you will find a hay box a good place to keep butter. Line a box thickly with hay. Saturate the hay with cold water, then set in the crocks of butter, which, of course, must be cold to start with. Cover with more hay, and place a blanket or piece of carpet over all. Soutached Belts for Children Soutached Belts for Children. Four-inch-wide belts are the smart accessory for tots—girls or boys—to wear with their linen and crash frocks. Any mother who has time to do fancy needlework can make one of these belts, as they are simply of dark-toned denim, cretonne or flowered linen embroidered with shade foutache in white or a pale shade of rose, blue, green or maize. The braid is not applied flatly, but on edge, so that it shall boldly stand out from the foundation material, and it does not appear upon the edges of the belt, which are turned under and blind-stitcher. One end of the strip is sharply pointed and hooked invisibly far over the other end, which is square cut. New Color. One of the new shades of the season is "geranium at night." It is a wonderful tint, not crimson and not purple, but something between the two. It was discovered, or so the story goes, by a designer who wingered in a greenhouse at dusk. He found that the colors of the hothouse flowers changed in an extraordinary manner as the shadows fell; deep yellow became pink, purple was black and the hardy red geranium took on an astonishing purple glow that gave him the inspiration for the new shade. with the same fragrance which add an effective bit of color to any costume when thrust carelessly through the sash or belt. These roses are made of satin and have the long stem and foliage. The scent, the shape and the color make them an excellent imitation of the real thing. For Drooping Plants. When the potted plants begin to droop add a teaspoonful of ammonia to three quarts of water and water the plant freely with it. A man points at another man who is sitting with a dog. Party at Other End of Telephone Number Refused to See if Miss Mc- Cormick Had Retired. Telephone bell rings. "Hello!" "Hello, is Miss McCormick there?" "I don't see her." "Well, you would know it if she were there, wouldn't you?" "Why, I should think so." "Perhaps she has retired." "That's so, perhaps she has. I had not thought of that." "I wish to speak to her about something important." "I am sorry, but I just can't." "Why can't you?" "Because I don't know her nor where she lives." "Isn't this Hadley 4-11-44?" "No, this is Hadley 4-11-45." "Oh!'—Houston Post." Most Unflattering. George W. Perkins, in a tariff argument, said the other day: "Well, that may be a good defense, but it certainly isn't very flattering to the intelligence of the American people. It is, in fact, so unflattering that it reminds me of a chap who was sued for breach of promise. "This chap was twenty-five, and the lady suing him was forty or so. "Where's your defense? the judge asked. "The defendant waved his hand toward the lady and promptly replied: "Insanity, your honor." Unavailing. The mermaid was taken suddenly fll—a case of seasickness. "Uncle Neptune," she moaned, "I wish you would dive up among that group of bathers over there in the surf and ask them if there is a doctor present." Uncle Nep. did so, and presently re- turned with a professional-looking young man, who presented his card. The mermaid glanced at the card, uttered a wild shriek of hysterical laughter, turned tail, and fled. He was a chiropodist—Puck. His Aim. "What's the matter, sick?" "No." "Eating well?" "Yes." "Sleeping well?" "Bully." "Then why this expression of hop- less gloom?" "I'm trying to make the boss think I'm in a badly run down condition and need a vacation." HOW IT IMPRESSED HIM. "What was your impression of Europe?" "Well, judging from what mother and the girls say, there doesn't seem to be much to the place except art and matrimony. It depends for revenue almost entirely on pictures and pedigrees." Similar Ambition. "On one side of me lives a theatrical manager and on the other a notable housekeeper, and both are devoting their energies to the same purpose." "What is it?" "To keep their houses in print." Tyranny. "Well, sir, explain where you have been." "My dear, wait until morning. I'll explain then." "No, sir! It would be much easier for you to explain in the morning. I want an explanation now." How It Happened Brown. So too true. Jones—Yes. I've lost a good deal of sleep within a few days. Brown—How's that? Jones—I've just come in from the west on a sleeper.—Puck. Pot Luck Miss Snowflake—Does yo' believe in wishbones? Mr. Jackson—W'y, it's a sign of exceptional luck to hab a fresh one in youhah pocket every day or two!—Puck. "It doesn't look like yours." "Well, you see, it's my stepladder." --Purple Cow. THE YOUTH'S COMPANION Literature with a purpose, entertainment with an ideal, information and incentive combined.
