THIRTY FIRST YEAR. NO. 5 THE EAGLE WORLD'S NEWS IN BRIEFEST FORM CONCENSUS OF THE BEST EVENTS OF THE WEEK. CCNDENSED IN SNAPPY FORM Happening, Both Foreign and Domen tic, That Have Interest for Busy Readers, Arranged and Classi- fied for Their Convenience. Washington Republican senators and representatives, at a caucus in Washington, chose most of the members of the Republican congressional committee, which will begin work soon on the campaigns. Every state was accorded one representative, chosen by the state's delegation in the senate and house. Secretary McAdoo announced at Washington the apportionment, as far as it has been completed, of the $50,000,000 to be deposited by the government in national banks of the west and south to facilitate the movement and marketing of crops. Attempts to increase the rate of the proposed income tax on the larger incomes fallen in the senate at Washington when Senators Borah, Bristow and Cammins led an effort to amend the income tax section of the Democratic tariff bill. Commander L. H. Chandler of the United States battle ship Illinois reports that the officers and midshipmen were received most cordially while the vessel was in the harbor at Antwerp, Belgium. He emphatically denies rumors that the American officers were shown discourtesy at Cadiz, Spain. That President Wilson's Philippine policy does not contemplate the independence of our wards in the far eastern archipelago during his administration was made clear. The subject came under discussion at the White House in Washington as a result of a recent appointment of Francis Burton Harrison to be governor general of the Philippines. Chirman Simmons of the senate finance committee at Washington predicted the senate could complete the tariff bill and pass it by September 5 and that the measure could be finished by the conference committee and signed by President Wilson by September 16. The answer of the administration forces in the house at Washington to the criticisms of the new currency bill made by the conference of the bankers at Chicago will be a tightening up of the lines and a more vigorous indorsement of the bill as it now stands. Supporters of the administration currency bill scored an important victory in the house Democratic caucus when they brought to their aid an unqualified indorsement of the measure from Secretary of State Bryan and defeated proposed "insurgent" amendments that would have prohibited interlocking directorates in national or state banks incorporated under the proposed new law. America's arbitration treaty with Japan expired by limitation. Means of arbitrating the California anti-allen land question or other disputes no longer exist unless a special agreement should be made. Owing to the objection of Representative Mann of Illinois, a resolution granting President Wilson the right to accept and place in the White House a bust of William Pitt, as a gift from American women now in England, the house at Washington failed to pass the measure. Domestic Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, testifying before a referee in bankruptcy at New York, sore that Harry Thaw's mother had contracted to pay her $15,000 cash and $1,000 a month so long as she should live in return for Evelyn's entering into an action for the annulment of her marriage to Harry Thaw. Governor Major of Missouri commuted the sentences of eight more convicts who worked on the public highways on "Good Roads" days recently. John R. Alpine of Chicago was re-elected general president of the United Association of Plumbers, Steamtitters and Steamtitters' Helpers at the close of its triennial convention in Boston. Thomas Burke of Chicago was re-elected secretary-treasurer. A jest, laughter, misunderstanding; a sharp retort, a quarrel; shots; death—this is the story of a tragedy in a street car in Chicago. Two men were killed by the conductor and motorman of a Chicago Railways company car. Theodore Hoosevelt told 200 Progressives in Chicago that he would sanction no amalgamation with the Republicans which involves a compromise. The former president stopped in Chicago on his return from the southwest. THE GAZETTE George D. Hawthorne, an assistant bookkeeper in the New York police pension bureau was arrested at his desk on a charge of extortion made by George Carrougats, a retired policeman, who had applied for an increase of pension. Hawthorne is charged with having accepted $150. The report was revived among politicians in Albany, N. Y, that Senator Stilwell, who is now serving a sentence in Sing Sing for bribery, had made a confession to Governor Sulzer, implicatin five senators, one assemblyman and several Tammany man. Asked about the report, Governor Sulzer said he was not responsible for it. Newton Edson, a barber at Woodston, Kan., shot and killed his wife and committed suicide. A five-year-old daughter clung to her mother's skirts and begged her father not to shoot. In an after-dinner speech at Fort Logan in Denver, Colo., Secretary of War Garrison sounded a note of warning as to the unpreparedness of the United States for war and told of the department's intentions to obtain a larger enlistment and to reduce the minimum enlistment period from three years to one year. The first Salvation Army corps to be formed among prisoners east of Chicago was organized in the state prison at Windsor, Vt., by Salvation Army officials. Moore than fifty men were sworn in to become soldiers of the organization and promised to live up to all the "articles of war," as required by the army. Fire of unknown origin destroyed the plant of the American Farm Products company at Elgin, Ill., causing an estimated damage of $50,000. Five persons were instantly killed when a Monon train struck an automobile in Chicago. A deficit of $300,721.44 in the municipal finances of East St. Louis, Ill., is shown in the report of special accountants submitted by Mayor Chamberlin to the city council. The report also shows a shrinkage of $725,502 in the city's cash resources within two years. The Tammany city committee of New York city nominated the following ticket: For mayor, Edward E. McCall of Manhattan; for comptroller, Herman A. Metz of Brooklyn; for president of the board of aldermen, Joseph A. Goulden, of the Bronx, Murphy's slate went through without a tremor of opposition, nor so much as the first sign of dissent. Children perished in two accidents at Grand Rapids, Wis., when Loclen Berand, five years old, was burned to death in bed by matches in the pocket of his night gown, and Eva Brander was killed by a pitchfork. The girl was killed when following a load of hay and a pitchfork falling from the load pierced her heart. Mexican Revolt John Lind's diplomatic negotiations with Mexico have been broken off, and Mr. Lind has left for Washington. Mr. Lind called on Foreign Minister Gamboa to say good-by. There was nothing in their conversation to indicate that Mexico would recede from its position. The next step most probable, it is thought, will be the closing of the American embassy. Mr. Lind refused to affirm or deny this. The bodies of Pascual Orozco and other peace commissioners were found riddled with bullets in the streets of Huatla, Mexico. Zapata slew the commissioners with his own hand Zapata was later killed. Foreign The ninth international Esperante congress was opened at Bern, with 1,100 delegates present, representing twenty-three nations. Twelve American representatives marched behind the American flag in the opening process. While maneuvers of the Swedish fleet were in progress an armored ship collided with and sank a gunboat. "Gentleman Roger" Thompson, held under the Dominion immigration laws as having aided Thaw to cross the Canadian frontier, announced he was "up against it," and that if the Thaw family did not come to his rescue he would be forced to tell all he knew about Thaw's escape from Matteaw. Personal J. E. Rowan, his wife, two children and his sister-in-law, Mrs. A. W. Smith, were killed when a train demolished their auto at Laneville, Pa. Mrs. Jacob Rediger and Elnora McMullin were killed near Sheldon, Ill., when a train hit their auto. Patrick Bullard was killed when his automobile turned turtle at Peoria, Ill. Maurice E. McLoughlin of San Francisco won the All-Comers' championship for the second consecutive time at Newport, R. I. Dom Gasquet, abbot president of the English Benedictines, whom Pope Plus X in 1907 appointed chairman of a commission to undertake the revision of the Latin Bible, or Vulgate, gate, will arrive in New York August 30 to give a series of lectures in the United States for the work of the commission. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. Countess Says Daughters of Aristocracy Can't Marry. Complains Because Their Brothers Wed Actresses and Rich American Girls, While They Are Limited to Professional Men. A well-known, but unnamed countess, writing in a London publication, unburdens her mind as follows: Social tendencies of today make it a handicap for a girl to be the daughter of a peer—unless he is enormously rich. What do we see? Most of our young men of title, if they are not choosing their wives from the variety stage or from musical comedy, are going to America for them. But does one ever hear of an actor marrying a girl of title? Does one ever hear of an American gentleman marrying an English girl of title? I know of only one instance. She is the daughter of an earl, and had the misfortune to lose her American husband a few years after marriage. Occasionally a self-made Englishman shows a tendency to marry into the aristocracy, but it frequently happens in such cases that the wooer is not acceptable to the young lady at whom he sets his cap. He is generally very much older, perhaps old enough to be her father, and he has spent his best years in making his "pile." The English girl accepts the rivalry of the American girl with the best grace possible. The American certainly brings money with her, and money has always been a recognized weapon in the fight for marriage. But she is, to put it quite frankly, just a little resentful of these stage marriages. Of course we have always had peers marrying actresses since actresses first made their appearance on the boards in the time of Charles II. There was the marriage of the twelfth Lord Derby to Eliza Farren, from whom Lord Wilton is descended. Later on the first earl of Craven, to mention but one other instance, married Louisa Brunton, the great-great-mother of the present Lord Craven. But in all these instances the actress was famous in her profession quite apart from her marriage to a peer. Nowadays, however, it is not always absolutely necessary to be a first-rate or even a second-rate actress to catch an old title. No wonder our girls, my own among them, are thinking that the surest way to matrimony is to go on the stage. What a commotion there would be if one morning it were announced that Lady Rose the author of that book were engaged to Mr. Brown, the third-rate actor? Yet why, for if her brother puts a coronet on the head of Miss Brown, the third-rate actress, nobody is shocked? It will come to this, that our girls, many of them, will have to make up their minds to accept middle-class professional men. Already a fair number of them are married to doctors, solicitors, architects and parsons. At one time it would have been looked upon as a dreadful meaillance for the daughter of an earl to wed a solicitor or a doctor. Officers of the army and navy, barristers and clergymen were regarded as of a higher social rank, but even with the clergy, at least those of the lower grade, there was a time when they were held to be suitably matched if they paired off with the lady's maids. Because our young men of title will have their own way and marry out of their order, their sisters will be compelled to look lower for their own husbands. Many of my peeress friends have found no difficulty in marrying their daughters in their own station of life, but I know other cases where whole families of five, six or seven girls are "on the shelf." Some turn to nursing some take up philanthropic work, some are ardent suffragists. But if they were quite frank about it they would confess that they would sooner be wives. Associations of Leadenhall Street. Leadenhall street, which the city fathers of London are widening, is popularly associated with poultry, but possesses many literary and political memories. On the South side, near the entrance to the market, stood "John Company's" East India house, where the two austere Mills and their spiritual anthesis, Charles Lamb, were once clerks. In this street Gibbon's great-grandfather won the wealth that gave the historian leisure for his task; and here Peter Moteux, the translator of "Don Quixote," kept a tea-shop. Nos. 156 and 157 stand partly on the site where the little midshipman in "Dombey and Son" used to hang out. It was at the house of Lord Mayor Allen in Leadenhall street that General Monk dined on the fateful day he finally broke with parliament; and at a vanished hostelry called the King's Head the Jacobites plotted for the restoration of the Old Pretender. Strange Effect. "Brother Steadman, you mustn't mind my telling you that I didn't think your sermon last Sunday was anywhere near up to your mark. It seemed kind of' thin and wishy-washy like." "But think, Sister Millsap, what a hot day it was! The heads of my sermon just wilted and couldn't themselves up, and my ideas all meiled and ran together." Mrs. Maude Murray Miller of Columbus, newspaper woman, appointed member of moving picture censor board. She is the first woman in the United States to hold such a position under a state law. Ohio is the first state to provide for censorship of moving pictures. She gets a salary of $1,500. Head of Pencil Factory Is Found Guilty by Jury. Five Thousand People in Streets Around Courthouse Where Prisoner Was Tried Cheer When They Hear Verdict. Atlanta, Ga.—Leo M. Frank was on the afternoon of Aug. 25 found guilty of the murder of 14-year-old Mary Phagan on April 28. The case was given to the jury at 12:47 and the verdict was announced at 4:56. Two ballots were cast before an agreement was reached. The first ballot showed eleven for a verdict of guilty without the recommendation of mercy and one in doubt. After one more ballot an hour later the twelfth man came over to the majority and made the early verdict possible. Frank was condemned to death when he was brought before Judge Roan the next day. Five thousand people awaited the announcement of the verdict in the streets around the courthouse and the demonstration following the news of the verdict drew double that number to the scene. As the verdict was announced a great cheer arose and it was heard by Frank, his wife and mother in the fall two blocks away. Frank's lawyers will move for a new trial. Frank was put on trial July 28, evidence in the case aggregated nearly 2,000,000 words and the attorneys consumed nearly five days in argument, Solicitor Dorsey speaking more than ten hours. Leo Frank is 28, and his parents reside in Brooklyn, N. Y. He was educated at Pratt institute, Brooklyn, and at Cornell. He came to Atlanta six years ago and took charge of the National Pencil factory. He married his wife, Martha, and he brew circles, having been president of the local lodge B'nal Brith. SLIT SKIRT PREDICTED IN 1704 Fulfillment of Prophecy of Scotchman, According to Ancient Manu- script Just Found. Cornish, Col.—The arrival of the diaphanous, hobble and slit skirrs is the fulfillment of a prophecy of Sir Charles De Puyster Goldwin of Scotland, who lived 200 years ago, accord- ing to a manuscript just found by Miss Faith Corson Smith in a trunk. The manuscript is dated November 10, 1704, and reads in part: "The time hath come when I think there is much to be revealed to my children's children in clothing the human form. I cannot believe that men will forever wear swords and knoe- brees and such like fopperies. Ladies should not be so circumspect in their dresses, which are cumber- some, and the long trains which please their majesties of this year of our Lord seem to me naught but a design to conceal that which the Creator meant should be revealed. Perhaps posterity will learn that there is naught to be ashamed of in that which God hath created." Shoots Wife. Kills Self. Philadelphia, Pa.—Thomas Keene, aged 29, after being served with a summons in a divorce suit, went to the home of his wife to effect a reconciliation and when she refused to kiss him fired two shots into her abdomen, fled to the street and with a crowd congregated by hearing the shots, looking on, took a bottle of poison from his pocket and drained it. He died two hours later. Against Central Bank of Control. Washington.—President Woodrow Wilson will veto any currency bill sent him by congress carrying a provision for a central bank of control of issue of currency or any of the other cardinal features of the recommendations of the Chicago bankers' conference. The president considers the suggestions of the bankers disruptive of the entire currency reform plan of the Democratic party and in direct antagonism to the provisions of the Baltimore convention platform. Turk Superstitious Regarding Triumph of Christianity. Column of Black Marble or Basalt in Mosque, Shows Sympathy When Christian Enters, by Sweating or Weeping. Many superstitious beliefs are held by Mohammedans about the final triumph of Christianity over Mohammedanism. Such beliefs are very widespread throughout the Turkish empire as well as in Asia Minor. In Damascus tourists are shown a little tower, part of a great mosque which was destroyed by fire many years ago, in which there is believed by the Turks to be a copy of the gospel. They believe that when the tower is opened and the holy hook revealed Christianity will once more become the dominant religion of the country. Consequently the tower, which could not be entered without the help of a ladder and which is said to be hermetically sealed, is guarded day and night by Turkish soldiers. At Jerusalem also the famous golden gate is built up so that none can pass it, because there is a belief that through it a Christian prince will enter and proclaim the triumph of the Christian religion. At Constantinople, when visitors to the mosque of St. Sophia were admitted to the gallery—which is not permitted now, as the building is said to be unsafe—they were shown a little fast locked door through which, it is said, a priest who was in the act of dispensing the holy sacraments fled, bearing the sacred elements with him, on the news being brought to him that the Turks had succeeded in entering the city. There he is said to remain to this day, waiting for the return of the Christian to power, when he will come forth and finish the sacred rite. At Balki-l, a place close to Constantinople, there is a miraculous healing fountain, to which every year on a certain day crowds of people suffering from horrible diseases resort for healing, either coming themselves or being brought by their friends. A great fair is held at the same time, at which thousands of people who do not require a cure gather to enjoy themselves with the games and shows, feasting and making merry. There is in the neighborhood both a Greek and an Armenian hospital and also an Armenian church, as well as the Greek church in which is the healing fountain. The story is to the effect that a priest was in the act of grilling some fish for his dinner when word was brought to him that the Turks had captured Constantinople. The priest, instantly preparing to flee, tossed the fish from his gridiron into the fountain, with the command to remain there till the Turks were driven from the city. The fish, faithful to this charge, may be seen in the fountain to this day, with the marks of the gridiron on one side—for they were only half done when they were returned to the water. "On one of the two visits I paid to Balik-li," writes Lady Ramsey in the Sunday School Times, "I certainly saw fish in the fountain, but the light was too dim for me to make out whether there were marks of the gridiron on them or not. "On the day of healing the water is drawn from the fountain by attendant priests and poured into two large casks, from which the people take it in cuds or other vessels brought by themselves and pour it over their sores—heads, arms or legs, as the case may be. Often the water runs back into the casks as they bend over them, but they and the rest of the crowd go on dipping and drinking and laving all the same. "It is a disgusting sight, and the church is filled with steam from their wet clothes and bodies and stifling with evil odors. It is not only Christians who seek a cure in this Christian church—Turks, and I believe Jews also, frequent it. Of course, it is only the ignorant of any race who do so. "At Ak-Hissar, a town which now occupies the site of Thyatra, one of the seven churches of Asia, there is a mosque that was originally a church in Byzantine times. A minaret has been added to it to complete its transformation into a mosque. On the point of the minaret we noticed that there was a metal ornament in the form of a cross inclosed in a circle, and inquired of the imam—Mohammedan priest—how such a thing came to be there. "He replied that the mosque having been originally a Christian church, it was necessary to have the Christian symbol to protect the minaret, which had been in danger of falling. Inside the building was a column of black marble or basalt standing by itself, and the imam informed us that whenever a Christian entered the place the column showed its sympathy by sweating or weeping. He maintained that it was doing so at that moment and, rubbing it with his hand, asked me to observe that his palm was wet! It was. I can't deny it. Nor do I pretend to explain it." In 1933. "And so they have decided to get a divorce. What a pity." "It is a pity. But what can they do? It's just another one of those cases of too much father-in-law." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS To serve and uplift the negro race by training its girls and young women to be good cooks and good launderesses is the purpose of the National Training School for Women and Girls—an awkward title for one of the most interesting experiments in vocational education yet made in this country, says the Baltimore American. The primary object is not to train girls to be servants, but to train them so that if they do become servants they will be good ones, and if they become housewives in homes of their own they will be efficient there. To this end this school has subordinated the conventional three R's of the conventional three B's of this particular school. To quote from the school catalogue: "The aim is to make practical use of the three B's—the Bible, the bathtub and the broom. The Bible is the text book for all students, and by daily study and teaching students will be brought to value it as the best guide for action. The positive power of the bathtub in refining and developing one's physical powers is dwelt upon; physical cleanliness is required. The brooms hold three place in importance in the practical scheme. The negro home is suffering more from the lack of women who know how to make and maintain a home than anything else. This school is established to train housekeepers and home makers. Every student is taught how to work and must not be lacking in a disposition to do so. A clean life, a clean body and a clean home are all that the humblest member of the race needs to insure real advancement. We shall conform to the actual needs of the race regardless of present educational methods and notions." The Grand Imperial court of the Daughters of Isis closed its annual session at Indianapolis with the election of the following officers: Grand imperial commandress, Mrs. Cassile Mekler, St. Paul, Minn.; grand imperial deputy commandress, Mrs. Priscilla Smith, Baltimore, Md.; first grand imperial lieutenant, Mrs. Anna D. Groves, St. Louis; grand, imperial treasurer, Mrs. Laura Williams, Washington, D. C.; imperial grand recordress, Mrs. Laura Harris, Memphis, Tenn.; first grand imperial ceremonial daughter, Mrs. Ward, Philadelphia, Pa.; second ceremonial daughter, Mrs. Marion Price, New York city; oriental guide, Mrs. Anna Fisher, Pittsburgh, Pa.; grand imperial inner spy, Mrs. Gertrude Pritchett, Indianapolis; grand imperial outer spy, Mrs. Anna Crooker, Chicago; imperial谅偿, Lev Williams, Jersey City, N. J.; imperial treasurer, J. Frank Blagbush, Washington, D. C.; imperial oriental guide, George H. Wharton, Philadelphia, Pa.; imperial grand marshal, Howard W. Pinn, Boston. The next meeting of the council will be held at Pittsburgh, Pa., the first week in August, 1914. The State Colored Farmers' congress met recently at Prairie View, Texas. The subject of scientific farming is one that the colored people can address themselves to with the promise of benefits no less substantial than result from similar meetings on the part of the white people. The possibilities of Texas agriculture are unlimited, and intelligent co-operation in placing the industry on a higher plane of intelligence cannot be too strongly presented to the congress, who constitute so large a proportion of the working forces on the farms of South Texas, particularly. "The Negro Yearbook" is a publication prepared by Monroe N. Work, a member of the staff of Tuskegee Institute, to summarize facts concerning the negroes. It ought to have a wide circulation, for it presents material of great interest, showing the really remarkable progress made by a race just out of slavery. Fifty years ago, for instance, the negroes owned only a few thousand dollars' worth of church property. Now their church holdings are valued at $57,000,000. In 1867 there were 800 schools for freedmen, with 2,000 teachers and 111,000 pupils. Last year there were 1,700,000 negro children enrolled in southern common schools, and 100,000 in normal schools and colleges, with 34,000 teachers. An official statistical review of the silk production of mulberry leaves and silk coconuts in Spain from 1901 to 1910 shows that this industry is confined to 13 provinces, which yielded in the decade 346,772 metric tons of leaves and 12,674 tons of coconus. Manila is to have a new brewery, a plant being moved in from Hong Kong. Some of the larger dry goods houses of this country are said to expend annually as much as $100,000 in the preparation of samples, which are sent to their patrons throughout the country from which to make selection of stock. The present rate of timber cutting in this country is three times that of the growth. T. H. Seymour of Middleboro, Vt., says his horse knows the days of the week. PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS Negroes in New York say they will boycott an exposition which will be held in that city in October to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of their freedom, unless the governor heeds hundreds of letters protesting against the work of nigro commissioners he appointed and orders the commission to change its course. Hunter C. Haynes, a negro who helped draft the bill passed by the legislature last April, appropriating $25,000 for an industrial exposition and celebration, says the commission is planning an exposition to consist of sociological congresses, charts and African curios. Others of the colored race are demanding the work and progress of the negroes of New York state be portrayed, since the bill specifically states the exposition is to be for that purpose: "Fifty years of my race's most serious history." Haynes said, "have been connected with political degradation. Now, when we plan an exposition designed to do good, this commission makes a partisan affair of its work. It will be impossible to give a creditable exposition in such a short time. Nothing tangible has yet been done. More than $3,000 has been spent in salaries and in carrying out impractical ideas." In appointing Madison R. S. Smith minister to Haiti, President Wilson broke through a custom of giving this post to a colored man. Mr. Smith is a former member of congress, having served in the Sixteenth congress as representative from the Thirteenth Missouri district. The present minister to Haiti is Dr. Henry W. Furniss, colored, of Indianapolis. This is the second important post given to colored men in the last administration which has been filled by President Wilson with a man of another race. The register of the treasury, a position which has for years been held by a colored man, is to be filled now by a full-blooded Chocktaw Indian, Gabe E. Parker of Oklahoma. The president originally appointed Adam E. Patterson, a colored man, as register, but when it became apparent that he could not be confirmed Patterson asked the president to withdraw his name. The United States bureau of education, in co-operation with the trustees of the Phelps-Stokes fund, has announced that it is making a study of private and higher schools for colored youths. A report of the equipment of the different schools, their work and their place in the educational system with which they are connected, will be publisher later. The Phelps-Stokes fund is the residuary estate, amounting to about $1,000,000, bequeathed by Miss Caroline Phelps-Stokes of New York for various philanthropic purposes, among which is the education of colored boys and girls. Gifts have been made to the University of Virginia, University of Georgia and to the Peabody college in Nashville, Tenn., for the maintenance of fellowships and research work in the field of colored education. A number of smaller sums also have been given for related purposes. Emphasizing the importance of self-help among the negroes of the south, leaders in the negro Methodist Episcopal church in Alabama have laid plans whereby it is hoped to raise at least $16,000 during the summer for the work of Miles Memorial college, the connectional school for negroes in this state. The election of officers of the Imperial Council of Colored Mystic Shriners was the most important incident of the closing of the fifteenth annual session at Indianapolis. John H. Murphy of Baltimore, for the last eight years imperial recorder, was unanimously elected to the office of imperial potentate. Mr. Murphy is a native of Baltimore, where he conducts a large job printing establishment, and has for the last 21 years been owner and publisher of the Afro-American Ledger. He has been identified with the colored Shriners since their organization and has been prominent in colored Masonic circles for 28 years. The other officers are deputy imperial potentate, Joseph L. Sherwood, St. Paul, Minn.; imperial chief rabbian, George McKing, St. Louis, Mo.; imperial assistant rabbian, Clarence E. Dunlap, Indianapolis. Among the gifts to the kalser's daughter at her wedding was a clock sent by the city of Hamelin. It is made from a wine cask saved in two. The hours are champagne corks. The hands are corkscrews, and the weights are bottles filled with champagne. A new highway in the Philippines will be constructed within a few months. It will be the southern link to the unbroken chain of roads from Manila to southern Luzon and will connect the towns of Albay and Sorsogon. Mrs. E. A. Fish of Point Pinos, near Pacific Grove, Cal., is the only woman in the United States in full charge of a lighthouse. There are 70,000 cities in the United States from which telephone messages may be sent.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1913. What is our local Law and Order Reform league doing (not _ saying), thege days, to, help “clean up", (from 4 moral viewpoint) Central Ave.? Wake up, gentlemen! The Citizens’ Rights league ‘paved the way for you, last ‘Year, and payed it well, too. “THE NEW FREEDOM,” the office of president, Woodrow Wil. son published.a book with this title in Which he divulged his ideas of the reform of the governmental ‘system, ‘The newly elected president pro claimed himself an uncompromising adherent of democracy who acknowl edged the equal rights and duties of ail elements of society under acsump tions allke to all. In the very first chapter of this book occurs the state ment: “No man dare ussume the right to ascribe to a fellow-being, whom nature and education has placed on a plane with himself, a lower walk or position.” Since the time of that writing about five months have elapsed, But in this short time Presi dent Wilson has assigned these fine principles of Professor Wilson to the Pubbish heap! At least his ideas of equality do not hold good for those ten million American citizens, who have by chance been born with a Dlack color of the skin, About ten days ago the President appointed a Negro, (A. EB. Patterson), Register of the Treasury. ‘That such an appoint ment was not an extraordinary act can be well deduced from the fact that since thé time of the Civil War this position has always and exclu sively been filled by a Negro. Never- theless that sweet. trio, Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith, the illfamed Negro-haters of the Negro-phobic south, protested vehemently against this nomination, and announced “that they would fight this confirmation as fan Insult of the white citizenship with all the energy they were capable of.” ‘The consequence of this “announce ment” was that after only five day: Patterson “withdrew” his application; that this “voluntary withdrawal" had ‘been preceded by negotiations with the government at Washington, is ex- pressly stated in the communications to the ‘press and public, which the “capitol of the country” furnished this public. This “smartness” of extricat- ing himself, in such a manner, in an affair that’ absolutely demanded an open standpoint, will be of no use to Our slick President. He will, all the same, be obliged to. give a direct answer as to Whether he will see the rights of the Negroes—much as they are already {llegally curtailed or de nied In deflance of the Constitution trod under the- foot completely—he and bis party and adherents cowardly "fearing the “southron gentlemen"—or Whether ha will preserve the dignity of his office, at least to such a degree, ‘as not to suffer the suppression of the Colored Americans so far as Govern- mental service 1s concerned. How- ever, this {s not the first act which In- Gieates trom What quarters the wind of the Wilson Administration is blow- ing. The “radical” (!) democratic members of the Cabinet have already egun—most assuredly with the full sanction of Wilson—to segregate the white and Colored officials in their re- spective departments, In the postal service and the department of the “In. terior,” orders have been already an- hunclated prohibiting the whites and biacks from working together; aye, the postal clerks employed in railroad service are not allowed to work to gether in the same car. A strange “new” freedom indeed, which this democratic Federal Administration has offered us: A relapse, veritably, into the darkest days of the lust cen- tury, in oo Colored man was witbout or rights; in. fact, much above the piece of cattle ‘was offered for sale on the mar- ‘The question arises, however, the men at the helm in Wash- ington do not after all deceive them- selves?

And this social democracy will | p no distant time forever Feleate| ihe old and the new kind, the Tillman wad the Wilson brand, to the dark re- dion where they belong (literally, to be Orkus of the ancient Greeks) — "hicage Arbelterzeltung, (Socialistic), August 16; translated for The Gazette xy “Jacob Egberth.” | LUNA PARK AGAIN! ‘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 hap- en to be “white,’ who go out there and apply for them. And yet there are “Negroes” who will atempt to enrich the treasury of the Luna Park management at least once a year, usually in August and September, 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 “ise, who will so. truckle to anything or anybody in an effort to make a few “tainted” dollars, for themselves or anything or anybody’ else in such a miserable way? That the alleged “emancipation célebra- tion,” on August 4th, and the “pienic” on August 18, were not the financial Successes anticipated, and the “cele- bration,” last year, was a failure, is due to the fact that the great mass of manly and womanly Afro-Ameri cans of this community refused to at tend them. The few who did, went with apologies on thelr lips, as @ rule, and explained that they were there because relatives, some church or oth- er organization with which they were connected, was directly interested in some phase of the unfortunate affairs. Last year, led by the lamented Dr. G. ‘A. Sissle, and other members, our Ministers’ Alliance of this city was active in the support of the position The Gazette has maintained all along in this matter. ‘This year the Alliance failed to take the loyal and aggressive stand “of last year, but individaal members of it, like Drs. Chas. Bundy and H. C. Bailey, spoke out against the “celebration” like MEN, from thelr pulpits, prior to Auguat 4th, All honor to” them—loyal, fearless and manly race men. Again, the privi- legos accorded Negroes in that park, even on August 4th and August st | were limited. We are informed that the dancing pavillion and roller-skat- Jing tink were not opened to them un- til 6 p. m. and 9:45 p, m., respective. ly, and that the swimming pool was Jelosed to them both days Jand evenings, as | was the lease last year. The crowd Jin attendance was away below expec: | tations, and the attendance at the din- ner of the “association” that pro: moted the August 4 affair, also. fell short, there being many empty plates. ‘The fact that white men and women eagerly entered upon the floor to dance amongst the Negroes, each ‘evening, in spite of the effort to keep them off, stamps as false the state- ment that they (whites) object to | dancing beside or with our people, in this city. It is this false premise as: stmed by prejudiced managements that cause colorlines to be drawn in stich public places; and it is our peo- ple who, with the law favoring them, permit them to be drawn day after day, and year after year. SHAME, 0, SHAME! The whole conduct of ‘tne entertainments, at Luma Park, August '|4 and August 18, showed the indifter Jence of the Negro managements, to | ward thelr rights, and the courtesies Jue their manhood (2) and citizew |ship. And still our short-sighted Ne | groes continue’ “fattening frogs to feed snakes"; for, two more of our organizations are announcing “out- ings,” this and next month, at color- ine Lana Park where they are wel coméd on some “special” or particnlar day out of the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, and even then, in a restricted or limited way. ‘| May God help them “to see the light |as they should” and stop their efforts ||at such “business” for any purpose ‘whatsoever.

It was evening practically before the few Coloted people in attendance at the park prrived. ‘They were greeted with a slgn in large letters on_ the outside of the dance-hall, on its front wall, whigh read ap follows THIS DANCE-HALL RESERVED FOR COLORED PEOPLE AFTER 9:30 P.

T. annual convention held in Clayton Hall, this city, last week, was apparently a very quiet and secretive affair.

Few papers have been so successful and few and very few have been so successful and helpful service—Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist; Wm. H. Steward, editor. Wonder if the ministers and churchmembers who went to Luna Park on Aug. 4, and 18, knew they were thus showing their favor of the dancing, beer, whiskey and wine drinking that took place there, those days, with our people as the principal patrons?

Mrs. Madison said she did not know when she would return to Cleveland; that she intended going to Jackson, Mich. returning to Allegan to remain until after the fair; thence to Kala-mazoo for a while. She said that she would help her eat fried-chicken, and closed the letter saying: "Don't look for me until you see me." An exchange gives five reasons why the Afro-American people should subscribe for Afro-American newspapers. First, because it is our duty to support enterprises of the race; second, Afro-American enterprises have no own ownership; third, the own own; third, Afro-American newspapers tell of the good things of the race. Turn the bright side of the picture and don't wait until you get in jail to speak of you; fourth, Afro-American newspapers encourage and inspire the younger members to do more, get older and have more; fifth, Afro-American newspapers tell of the race has accomplished and its possibilities. Charles E. Hall, No. 2205 E. 39th St., was found unconscious and bleeding from fifteen knife wounds, between E. 27th Place and E. 28th St., on Central Ave., at 5:30 a. m. Tuesday, and taken to City Hospital in a delivery wagon. According to current report, Hall found a man by the name of Brown, in company with his wife the night before, on Scovill Ave., near the corner of 28th Street, followed, in which Hall beat the man pretty badly, with his fists. Both were arrested, and "golden ruled," later Monday night, at the Third Presidency Police Station, on E. 37th St., near Woodland Ave. Early Tuesday morning, so the story goes, Brown and his brother waited for Hall, either in or near the saloon at the corner of E. 28th St. and Central Ave. A quarrel ensued and finally terminated in a broken brooch and Hall engaged, with the result stated above. As we go to press we learn that it is thought Hall will die. He was terribly cut, and yet ran a half block before he fell. The Washington, D. C., correspondent of the N. Y. City Amsterdam News wrote that paper, last week, the following of local interest: "The dropping of four Colored clerks in the office of Auditor for the Interior, two in the office of Auditor for the Post Office Department and the demotion of William H. Clifford and others is accepted here to mean that the elimination of the Colored man from the sengers, is planned. Clifford was demoted from $1,600 to $1,400, and it is whispered, sub rosa, about the Treasury Department, that the ex-Ohio legislator is to eventually be cut down to $1,200 or $1,000. It is said that Mr. Clifford, rather depended upon Senator Pomerene, Ohio's Democratic Senator, to get out of bed to come to his assistance if demotion or dismissal seemed imminent. But Pomerene never so much as turned over in his bed. The impression here is that Clifford was not until locating in Washington, D. C., a war age, is not a civil service appointment but received his jobs there as a result of the favor of Senators Anna and Dick for political services endered. He certainly has no claims in Senator Pomerene, Congressman Bulkley or the democratic party.

New York building lot Free BASEBALL "Quigley looks like a joke umpire," says Fred Clarke. Vie Saier has made himself a factor with the willow. The work of Tommy Leach is the wonder of the season. King Cole expects to be back in the big show next season. Cactus Cravath, Philadelphia, is approaching a home-run record. Umpire Bill Dinneen says a player is never at his best until after thirty. Congo is the new name of Arnold Hauser, the Cardinal's tiny infielder. Art Shafer is being picked up to do a lot of batting in the coming world's series. Baltimore expects to get something close to a record for Third Baseman Malsel. Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson are running neck and neck for the slugging honors. Manager McGraw declares the Senators will beat out the Naps in the American league. Old Otto Hess is way down in the averages and is losing his grip as a major leaguer. The New York Highlanders are trying to land Glioholey, the bear cat of the Montreal outfield. The Reds are trying to land Cyril Shapnicka, the crack right hander of the Milwaukee Brewers. Bill Klem says Chief Wilson of the Pirates is one of the squarest ball players in the game. Many major league teams have sent scouts to Kewanee to look over a young twirler named House. Manager George Stallings believes he has the two best finds of the season in Maranville and Myers. Ivy Wingo, the Cardinals' backstop, in a recent game stole second, third and home after being walked. Roy Mitchell, the young St. Louis twirler, has been relieved but three times in 20 games for the Brownies. Bill Brennan, the umpire, is a former football star. He used to play fullback on a Minnesota college team. Pitcher Yingling of the Dodgers is some clouter. National league figures show that he hit for .378 in 21 games. Fletcher of the Giants is hitting as he did in 1911. He batted over .300 that year, and is batting at that clip now. George Burns, the Giants' young out- sider, is making the critics sit up to take notice of his sensational work. --- Bill Dahlen feels he has been very lucky in getting hold of Pitcher Brown of the Birmingham team for whom $7,000 was paid. Larry Lajoie has been beaten four times this season by the New York pitchers. Larry was hit recently twice in one day. Jack Graney is the steadiest player of the big leagues. His consistent work day after day makes him indispensable to the Naps. Manager Stallings believes that in Fred Smith he has a future star of brilliance. Smith has been filling in at third base for the Braves. It is reported that Artie Hofman will try to come back. Reports emanating from New York state that he will join the Highlanders in 1914. Tom Chivington, president of the American association, is being grilled all over the country for his decision forbidding players to slide into first. Lavan, the little shortstop of the Browns and former Michigan university star, is a brilliant fielder and is constantly showing improvement at bat. --- Griffith is leading the fight against paying high prices for ball players, according to an exchange, but it is recalled he was willing to pay almost any old price for the release for Chick Gandil. Joe Jackson is a veritable demon with the stick on his-home grounds. It is on the road that he slumps, whereas Ty Cobb does his best hitting when the Tigers are away from Detroit. Jack Knight seems to have at last made good with the Highlanders. The man the fans abused roundly on the hiltop a season or so back is putting up a spectacular exhibition on first for Chance and rapping the ball hard. The Birmingham club has made a lot of money selling players this year. Pitcher Elmer Brown has been sold to the Brooklyn club for $7,000. Outfielder Walker has been sold to St. Louis for $4,000 and Pitcher Manning will bring $2,500 from the same club. The release of Cy Beymour still leaves Boston with the oldest outfielders in the major leagues. Veteran John Titus, Bris Lord and Otis Clymer are prancing like youngsters in the garden. ST. LOUIS Pitcher Levereng of St. Louis The 1913 season uncovered seven new pitchers. The Naps and Red Sox are the only teams which failed to profit by 1913's bounty. The seven finds are Joe Boehling and Joe Engel, Washington; Leslie Bush, Athletics; Reb. Russell, Sox; George Daus, Tigers; Leverenz, Brown, and Ray Keating, Highlanders. Everett Boe, who was released by the Pittsburgh team to the St. Paul club some weeks ago, has been playing grand ball in the American association. --- Manager Frank Chance of the Highlanders denies emphatically the report he would resign as, leader of the Yankees at the close of the present season. --- Jimmy Callahan would do well to study Griffiths' plan in handling his star pitcher. Instead of working Walter Johnson to death, Griff gives him plenty of rest between games. Many baseball scribes believe the Giants will give the Athletics a tough fight for the world's championship. Many go as far as saying the McGrawits will beat the Philadelphia. --- The remarkable improvement of Steve O'Neill behind the bat is the talk of the Nap camp. Last year this catcher was figured an ivory head, but he has surprised them all. Jack Doyle, the old-time player, who had a brief career on President Lynch's umpire staff, has been named as one of the umpires to accompany the Giants and White Sox on their globe-girding tour. The Tigers may not win the pennant this season, but they have accomplished something that other American league teams were unable to do. They defeated the Athletics three times in two days. SPORTING WORLD Oberlin college is constructing a new $60,000 athletic field. Canadian lawn bowling associations may join hands in one big national governing body. Chicago amateur baseball clubs, numbering forty, will battle for the city championship. It is learned that Aug. Belmont has engaged Sam Hildreth to train his American racing stable. Peter Johnson, 2:1314, regarded as one of the best three-year-olds of the year, is Michigan bred. What has become of the man with the long chain of bicycle century bars strung to his anatomy in bygone days? The Russians have put up a purse of $12,500 for an international race in September, open to stallions and mares. The bicycle is coming back. The value and pleasure of its exercise is too valuable to be passed on to obl- vion. --- Flax Comity, that was a favorite and distanced at Toledo in the first heat, had won five straight races before that. Ross B. 2:06, is pretty limber this year as he was officially timed in 2:04½ and 2:05 when beaten by Anvil at Cleveland. Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' association races at Lexington from October 6 to 18 will be for purses aggregating $65,000. Panama Girl, a new Michigan trotter that raced in the stake at Toledo, will bear watching. She finished best in the third heat. The football season in the east will begin Saturday, September 20, the Carlisle Indians playing Albright College at Carlisle, that day. San Francisco will award purses of $227,000 for the 1915 light-harness races, which will be a feature of the Panama-Pacific Exposition.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1913. BUY WHEN THERE IS OPPORTUNITY Women Today Need Not Be Slavishly Obedient to the Season's Demands. EPOCH OF FLIMSY CLOTHES Heavy Material Not Likely to Be More in Order During the Cold Weather Than it is Now—Therefore, Purchase While Bargains Are Available. There are enough weeks of warm weather left for us in which to wear thin clothes to satisfy the conscience of one who wants to buy things. The American Indian summer is not an idyl, but a fact, and the woman who rushes into thick clothes at the first day of October is soon wasting away—with the heat—or gladly returning to the left-overs of summer. Looking at it in this light, there is no reason why we should not buy new clothes this month. Suppose that a woman goes to extravagance of indulging in a very good-looking lace gown now, or a coat suit of shantung, or a dance frock of white net, think how many uses she will get out of them during the autumn and winter. It is an epoch of flimsy clothes which are worn regardless of snow or sun, and in this truth lies the basic economy of buying when there is a good opportunity in the out of season. If a woman wants to wear a velvet gown in August there are none to say her neck is too tight. She is abroad in December in chiffon with her neck open and her ankles covered with openwork silk stockings, the multitude do not even gaze. Some hope she will be spared pneumonia, but no one advances any reasonable reason as to why she shouldn't dress to suit herself. Fashion's Sway Not Stern. We now wear stray hats in February, and at the end of November the shops announce reduced sales of winter clothes, although there may not have been any frost on the pumpkin as yet. The openings for winter clothes are now held on the 10th of August, and by the time September shines its hottest the American shops have finished sending out thousands of December garments. It is easy enough to see that it would not be possible to live and dress exactly according to the season unless we were determined to go our own way in opposition to the rest of the world. Therefore fashion has ordained that the clothes of one season will do for another, for which women are grateful. This is a strong concession. If one starts out on the premise that the majority of clothes are wearable at any season of the year provided they are in fashion, then the wise women should lay their plans to buy conservative gowns or wraps in the lull between the old and the new. The shops do not want to carry makeup garments from one season to another, and they know the only way to clear out the stock is to offer it at reduced prices. The natural question may arise as to what benefit it is to a woman to buy gowns which a shop is not willing to retain; but there are so many commercial ends to this question that one does not have the space to go into them here. Economy in Purchasing Now. First and foremost, no shop wishes to keep in stock gowns that crowd up the showrooms and which must be sold as second class when the new gowns come in. Room must be made for importations, and the only hope of disposing of summer clothes in autumn would be after the first rush for the new things was over. As far as the fashions have gone for the last two years changes have not really been important enough to make a woman discard a gown purely for fashionable reasons; she may be tired of it, it may be worn out, or her figure may have changed, but any one else falling heir to the gown would find it in sufficiently good style to be worn. The woman who wishes to buy gowns now may have the comforting assurance put before her that no revolutions are to be looked for in the near future, and even if Paris and America decide on something different in October it may not be an accepted style until December, and in the meantime a woman will have had a goodly share of service from whatever clothes she buys now. Some Hints for Buyers. There are certain well marked fashions which every woman would do well to avoid. If she has lived in the thoroughfares of great centers her mind will already be formed to avoid these mistakes; but if she has not looked especially at the fashions which have become commonized, and goes into the large shops to make purchases, she may buy the very things that are wrong. Therefore, a bit of guidance may not come amiss. There is that long loose coat or blouse, whichever you wish to call it, which falls in loose folds from the shoulders to a wide band that is tightly drawn around the hips and fastened with a button in front. The American writers in Paris have been much pleased over the idea that this garment has been accepted by the French women; and this is misleading to American women who are not very The Request "Did Baron Fucash ask you for my hand, father?" asked Wendolnell. "No," replied Mr. Cumrox. "He called to discuss a marriage settlement. He didn't ask for your hand. He asked for my pocketbook." Fine Husband "Gladys Jane has a perfectly lovely husband" "yes" "Yes; he's willing for her to have anything she can get on credit." familiar with the mass of ready-to-wear garments and their application in large cities. A woman might read enough to be persuaded by an ardent saleswoman to buy this kind of coat, and as far as the observer can see into the future, it is a dead fashion. I always make that statement with hesitation, because the whirligig of style brings one fashion up and up again, and around and around. We also know that fashions which have been most commemorated by the public have been set aside for months and then reinstated for the fastidious woman. Granting all this, however, I should not advise any woman to run the risk of buying this kind of coat. Now there is a coat which is quite fashionable and popular, and yet it would not be amiss to put money into one of thin worsted or summer serge or any of the heavy Chinese silks. This is a modified Russian blouse which has a fitted peplum and a loose neglegee top which blouses over the belt and has loose three-quarter sleeves. Old Model in New Gulae. Old Model in New Guise. The world is rather weary of this kind of jacket made of cotton crash or eponge with a gaudy belt and a white skirt beneath, because the eyes are fatigued with the thousands of them that march by. But, take the same model in black satin, coat and skirt to match, and tie the waist with a soft folded sash of black velvet with two short ends at the side of the back, and open up the front over a shirt waist of fine batiste and footing and you have a dignified and desirable suit. Add to this a small black hat with a single white spray up the side and you could go anywhere without a pang as to your fashionable appearance. You see, after all, it's the way a fashion is manipulated, in what colors it is blended and how the wearer 1 puts it on that makes for its success. There are some women who take this time of the year for buying separate white skirts, and this is an especially good idea when entire plainness is required and trimming is eliminated. There are no longer any futile attempts to make a short outing skirt into something that it is not; there was a foolish day when it displayed pleats and yokes and various buttons, all of which were intended to give it a dressed-up appearance and which took away from its charm and its fitness. Rejected for Good Reason. There was only one spasmodic trial at this, and women rejected it for several reasons, the chiefest of which was that it was a bad fashion for the wash tub. Once these skirts had wide flares at the seam and now they do not, but as this is a settled fact and there is no change in sight, there is no reason for a woman not to indulge in a canter in economy and buy three or four of these good-looking white wash skirts, which are now sold at reduced rates. Make Serviceable Houses Gowns. The fashion for thin wash frocks made of plain and colored materials has had extensive vogue this summer, and many of these gowns, made of costly and admirable material, are now to be had for a few dollars. Think of what good-looking house gowns they make for the winter evening; they also serve for day hours when one must attend weddings or receive at afternoon teas, and the women who do few of these things find such gowns excellent for informal theater parties. in the illustration we show a smart costume of checked and plain cloth. The skirt has an inverted pleat at each side of front stitched about half way down, then well pressed to foot; the simply cut coat has collar and cuffs of the check, otherwise it is of the plain. Two buttons give a finish at front of coat; the fastening is invisible. Material required: Three and one-half yards checked and two yards plain cloth, two buttons, four and one-half yards silk for lining coat.—Washington Star. Sensitive Barber.

CAP and BELLS KNEW WHAT WAS IN SPRING Stupid Boy Finally Tells Teacher of Peculiarities of Spring—He Was Not Gullity. The country school teacher had been telling her scholars about the seasons and their peculiarities, and to impress the facts upon their minds she questioned them upon the points she had given. Several queries had been put, and she finally reached the stupid boy in the corner. "Well, Johnny," she said, "have you been paying attention?" "Yes'm," he answered promptly. "I'm glad to hear it. Now, can you tell me what there is in the spring?" "Yes'm, I can; but I don't want to." "Oh, yes, you do! Don't be afraid. You have heard the other scholars. Be a good boy now, and tell us what there is in the spring." "Wy—wy—mum, there's a frog, an lizard, an' a dead cat in it; but I didn't put 'em there. It was another boy, for I see him do it." When It Began. A friend of the family had been summoned to testify, much against his will, as to domestic disturbances in a certain household. "You saw those blows administered?" asked the counsel. "Yes, sir," replied the witness. "Did you witness the beginning of the quarrel between Mr. and Mra Drash?" "I did." "When was it?" "Six years ago." "Six years ago! How is that possible?" "I was a guest at their wedding," said the witness. Simple Enough; Blexton Sake entered the room and critically examined his surroundings. Then suddenly his eye lighted on the clew for which he sought. "Aha," he exclaimed. "It was from a hole somewhere in this room that the mouse emerged." His companion opened his eyes wide in wonderment; then— "Your power of scent," he remarked, "is positively marvelous, Blexton!" "Power of scent be bothered!" replied the great detective.

A farmer in great need of extra hands at having time finally asked Si Warren, who was accounted the town fool, if he could help him out. "What'll ye pay?" asked Si.

"Then you have explained to your fiance that you will bring no dowry? "Certainly." "What did he say to that?" "He swore that it was a matter of indifference to him."

He—Why, I can't sleep at nights thinking of you. She—That proves nothing. Pa can't sleep at nights thinking of you, but I hardly think it is love. A Painful Truth.
