UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WEEK'S NEWS Summarized for Very Busy Readers Washington President Wilson will be given an opportunity during the first week of October to review the largest aggregation of mounted troops of the regular army that has assembled in Washington since the grand review in the late '60s of the veterans led by Generals Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. Chairman William A. Jones of the house insular affairs committee, took issue with Auditor W. M. Phipps of the Philippines, who in a report to Secretary Garrison charged the existence of slavery in the islands. Representative Jones declared no slavery existed in the Philippines except in the uncivilized portions. Domestic The Republicans of New York declared in favor of changing the party rules so that each state may determine its own method of choosing delegates to the national convention and so that states which give the large Republican pluralities shall have proportionately large power in selecting candidates for president. For this purpose the New York Republicans call for a special national convention at an early date. Mrs. Catherin Ketcham Blake of New York has begun proceedings to obtain $1,000,000 damages from Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, leader in New York society, on the ground of alienation of the affections of the plaintiff's husband, Dr. Joseph A. Blake, an eminent surgeon. Harry K. Thaw and his legal staff were disagreeably surprised when William Travers Jerome, deputy attorney general for New York state, appeared at the extradition hearing before Governor Felker at Concord, N. H., and announced that the Dutchess county grand jury had returned a secret indictment against Thaw charging him with conspiracy in connection with his escape from Matteawan asylum. Patrick Ford, editor of the Irish World, died at his home in Brooklyn. For a generation he had supported with speech and pen Irish opposition to English rule, organizing in 1879 and afterward 2,500 branches of the Land League to the treasurer of which in Ireland he forwarded $500,000 through his paper. One thousand pupils of three Syracuse (N. Y.) high schools were suspended following a strike, as a protest against new hours of study—nine o'clock in the morning and 2:30 in the afternoon. The fourth victim of the boiler explosion on the United States torpedo boat Craven off Tyberie Island, Ga. ten days ago, died at the post hospital on the island. He was Thomas Gabbitt of Brooklyn, a first class fireman. Governor William Sulzer must go to trial. This was decided by the high court of impeachment. By a vote of 51 to 1 the court's members overruled the motion of the governor's counsel to dismiss the proceedings. After lying in state at the City Hall, where thousands viewed the body, the remains of Mayor William J. Gaynor were taken to Trinity church in New York and services were conducted by Bishop David H. Greer. Later the body was buried in Greenwood cemetery. Ten million farmers of the United States, through delegates appointed by various granger unions and societies, are represented at the thirty-third annual session of the Farmers' National Congress, which opened at Plano, Ill. Two of the questions affecting most the farmer and the consumer, rural credits and marketing of products, will have special places on the program. An "educational fund" of $500,000 will be expended by the American Meat Packers' association, that held a convention in Chicago, in an attempt to induce farmers to raise beef cattle and thus cut down the high cost of living and avert a threatened famine in beef. Primary elections in Massachusetts resulted in the nomination of Augustus H. Gardner of Hamilton as Republican candidate for governor. The Democratic candidate, David I. Walsh, present lieutenant governor, was not opposed in the primaries. An interpretation of the Mann white slave act by Federal Judge John C. Pollock at variance with that of Judge Van Fleet in the Diggs-Caminiett trials caused Lee Baker of Peabody, Kan., to change his plea from "gulty" to "not guilty" in a white slave case. Gov. James F. Fielder was nominated at the primaries as the Democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey. Edward C. Stokes, former governor won in the Republican contest for the nomination. THE GAZETTE The effect of the high cost of living will be felt by Wellesley college girls this year. Students occupying campus dormitories must pay $50 a year more for board and lodging. --- A shortage in the tobacco crop without enough surplus on hand to supply the manufacturers, efforts to corner the market and a soaring of tobacco prices is the prediction made by E. T. Robards, tobacco expert and statistician for the Burley district of Kentucky. Robards says the drought has cut the 1913 crop 50,000,000 to 75,000,000 pounds.

C. R. I. & P. passenger train No. 40, east bound, carrying tourists for their eastern homes, was wrecked at Manhattan, Kan. Fifteen passengers were injured. Mack Hurst, a demented stone mason of Bloomington, Ind., placed a stick of dynamite under each of the beds in which his children slept, tied two charges of the explosive to himself and ignited them. Only those tied to his body exploded, and he and his seventeen-year-old daughter, Maude, were killed, two other children were hurt and their home was damaged. His wife was uninjured. Mexican Revolt Fifty persons were blown to atoms when rebels dynamited a passenger train on the Mexican National railway 60 miles south of Saltillo, Mexico, according to official reports to Mexican federal headquarters in Nuevo Laredo. The train then was looted and the surviving passengers robbed, it is said. Lieut. Francisco Carlenas, accused by the Mexican constitutionalists of having killed Francisco I. Madero with a shot from behind, has himself been assassinated in Mexico. A telegram from the American consulate at Guadalajara, Mex., reports that Morris F. Root, nephew of Senator Elihu Root, was stabbed to death by a Mexican named Leonardo Aguilan near the mining camp of El Tigre. Authoritative information received in Washington from Mexico City forecasts the candidacy of Gen. Felix Díaz for the presidency of the republic, his election next month and his appointment as the chief member of his cabinet of Gen. Victoriano Huerta, the present provisional president. Foreign Armed groups attacked the Richamba barracks at Guayuall, Ecuador, but were repulsed when three men were killed and five wounded. A flight across the Mediterranean from St. Raphael, on the French coast, to Bizert, Tunis, the most northern seaport of Tunis, was made by Roland G. Gartos, a French aviator. The distance in a direct line is 600 miles. Four girls who were to become brides were killed by lightning near the village of Nagy-Varad, Hungary. The girls were picking flowers to decorate the church for the wedding when they were overtaken by a storm and took refuge in a grotto, which lightning struck. The first tea party ever given aboard an airship took place when Dr. Felst-Wollheim of Berlin, Germany, entertained 12 women and eight men as his guests on the Zeppelin passenger ship Sachsen in a flight near that city. Relatives of the queen of Spain have been shocked by the news that the second daughter of the queen, like her second son, will be both deaf and dumb, says the Manchester Guardian. Personal Plelenys Gbe Wolo, son of an African chieftain, has enrolled as a freshman at Harvard. He will study chemistry and physics and will work as a waiter. Capt. O. W. Holdbridge of the whaleback barge 137 of the Pittsburgh Steamship company was washed overboard from his boat and drowned. Samuel E.

Friends of Mrs. Lizzle Medford, known as the tallest woman in Kansas City, enlisted the aid of the police in a search for her. She is seven feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. She is sixty-four years old. Mrs. Etta Wharton of Walla, Walla, Wash., will recover $1,400 from Dr. W. H. Werner of College Place, a suburb, because the physician left a 14-inch spring in her body after an operation. The spring was in the woman for 15 days before it was discovered. According to intimate friends of Miss Anna Held and Florence Ziegfeld, Jr., a reconciliation between the two has taken place and a remarriage is expected next month. Miss Held obtained a divorce January 1. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913. LUCIUS EUGENE PINKHAM C.

GAYNOR LAID TO REST Remains Are Followed to Grave by Thousands. Business in Gotham Practically, at a Standstill During Time Procession Leaves City Hall Until It Reaches Cemetery. New York City.—The people of the city Sunday paid their final tribute to the memory of William J. Gaynor, their dead mayor. Nearly 100,000 persons stood in line in Broadway for hours in a drizzling rain waiting an opportunity to pass through the flower-banked rotunda of the city hall, where the body of the late mayor lay in state. The line at times was fully a half mile in length. All classes were represented in the line. A list of the public officials who joined the procession would include every member of the mayor's official family and nearly all the members of the local judiciary. One of the touching features of the silent procession was the number of little children who carried floral offerings to place upon the flag-draped bier. The city hall was kept open until 4 o'clock Monday morning for the accommodation of all those who whished to take their last look at the face of the mayor. At 16:30 a. m. the body was removed to Trinity church, where the funeral services were held. At noon the funeral procession started for Greenwood cemetery. From the time the procession started from the city hall till the hour of the interment in Greenwood business in the city was practically at a standstill. TRANSFIXED ON PIECE OF WGOD Two Women Are Seriously Hurt in Storm Which Unroofs Houses, Levels Barns and Kills Cattle. York, Pa.—To be transfixed on a piece of timber when a barn in which they had sought shelter was blown down by a storm and then to be brought eight miles in an automobile pinned together, was the experience of Mrs. George Sipe and Mrs. Harry Shenk. Both women are in a serious condition at the York hospital. A piece of timber blown down during the storm entered Mrs. Shenk's left arm and passed through into the abdominal cavity of Mrs. Shipe, coming out through her back. The storm that swept York county was the most severe of the season. Trees were uprooted, houses unroofed and barns leveled. At New Freedom the roofs were blown off several houses and a cow and two horses near Manchester were carried through the air for several hundred feet. Tornado Sweeps Through Town. Prince Frederick, Md.—Leaving in its wake a trail of wreckage, a tornado swept across this town and during the brief two minutes that it lasted did damage that will reach into thousands of dollars. Houses and stores were unroofed, huge trees uprooted, and as though in the grip of a giant hand were hurled more than a hundred feet, while small outhouses were lifted bodily into the air and crushed against the ground. Luckily the path of the storm was not wide, being a bare hundred feet. THREE KILLED IN HEAD-ON GRASH Sixty Others Hurt as Passenger Trains Collide. Says, After Investigation of Accident, That Single Spur Track Was Not Equipped. With New York City—Blame for the head-on collision Monday between two passenger trains on the Long Island railroad at College Point, L. I., which resulted in the death of three persons and the injury of 60 others, has been placed squately up to the company by Coroner Ambler of Queens. Holds Company Responsible. "The wreck occurred on a single track spur," he said after an investigation. "The spur was not equipped with a signal system. I believe the company is criminally responsible." Walter Maize, tower man at Whitestone Junction, was arrested soon after the wreck and sent to jail without the privilege of ball on a charge of homicide. Testifying before the coroner Malze admitted he had allowed one of the trains to enter the single track zone because he "supposed everything was all right." Steel Cars Save Many Lives. Railroad experts are practically unanimous in their belief that the fact that both trains were made up entirely of steel cars prevented a great loss of life. The two trains were running at terrific speed, but despite this only the vestibules of the motor cars were wrecked. Those who lost their lives were standing in the vestibules of the motor cars. The dead are: Charles Hoehlen, motorman. Fred Loeder, motorman. George Berkle, conductor of the Whitestone train. APPEAL TO SMALL FARMERS Speakers at Packers' Convention Assert Agriculturists Are Only Ones That Can Avert Meat Famine. Chicago, Ill.-The responsibility of averting a future meat famine was put up to small farmers by speakers at the eighth annual convention of the American Meat Packers' association. All the speakers agreed that if the decrease in meat production of the last 10 years is not stopped the question of the meat supply for the people of the United States will be most serious. Among the remedies suggested by the speakers were: Every small farmer should raise at least two beef steers a year to offset the decreased production of the great ranches of the west. The remaining ranges should be cut up in farms to put all farmers on an equal footing. Development of the hills of New England with their bountiful springs and prevailing shade as a beef producing country. Substitution of corn for cotton in the southern states and the consequent development of the cattle and hog production. SEIZE AMERICAN MISSIONS Greeks Capture Schools Where Instruction Is Given Nearly One Hundred Albanian Girls. Vienna, Austria.—Greek authorites in Kortisa, in Albania, seized the American mission schools there, where instruction is given nearly 100 Albanian girls. The information reached here in a telegram from Avlona, the principal seaport of Albania, on the Adriatic sea. The Greeks also have arrested and persecuted a large number of Albanians who recently returned to Kortisa from America and other foreign countries releasing them from detention only when the Albanians promised to join in the agitation for the incorporation of the district in Greece. The British consul in Monastir has entered vigorous protest with the Greek government on behalf of the Americans. The whole affair forms part of the Greek terrorization of the Albanian population with the object of compelling them to agree to the inclusion of the whole of southern Albania in the kingdom of Greece. Sulzer Receives Another Blow Albany, N. Y.-By the overwhelming vote of 51 to 1 the high court of impeachment Monday decided that the assembly had a right under the law to impeach William Sulzer of high crimes and misdemeanors and that the trial must therefore proceed. Dynamite Train, 50 Killed. Laredo, Tex.-Fifty persons were killed when the rebels dynamited a passenger train on the Mexican National railway 60 miles south of Saltillo, Mex., according to official reports to Mexican federal headquarters in Neuvo Laredo. The train was then looted and the surviving passengers robbed. Dispatches from San Luis Potosí, the capital of the state, say that rebels estimated to number 1,000 sacked the town of Venado and routed a federal force of 60 men. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. HERMON W. CRAVEN C HARRIS & EWING Hermon W. Craven was recently appointed by President Wilson as a member of the civil service commission. Republican and his home is in Seattle. N. Y. REPUBLICANS HOLD CONVENTION Adopt Resolutions Advocating Roosevelt Policies. Selection of Delegates to National Meets in Such Manner as Voters of Various States Choose Is Given Approval. New York City.—Over the protests of William Barnes, Jr., the New York state Republican convention Monday adopted resolutions advocating policies for which the Roosevelt delegates to last year's Chicago national convention fought in vain. The resolutions call for the selection of delegates to national conventions in such manner as the Republican voters of the various states shall choose and for more equitable representations from southern states. Barnes, although he had fought the innovation hard, accepted defeat gracefully, apparently satisfied by winning one minor point, that congressional districts be retained as the basis for representation. The declaration adopted by the resolutions committee after a stormy session was as follows: We instruct the representatives of the state of New York in the national committee to urge a national convention be called as soon as practicable, to change the party rules so as: To provide that in the call for future national conventions delegates are to be chosen in each state in the manner preferred by the Republican voters in such states. We, however, urge the continuance of the congressional district as the basis of representation. To insure that representation in the national conventions shall hereafter be based more nearly on the Republican vote actually cast in the several states and congressional districts, which just principle received the unanimous support of the delegation from the state of New York at the national convention of 1908, and To amend the rules relative to party procedure in such other respects as may be requisite. The proposition developed a warm fight before the committee in which national committeeman William Barnes was arrayed against United States Senator Root, Henry L. Stimson, former secretary of war, and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university. William E. Werner of Monroe county, associate judge of the court of appeals, was nominated for the chief judgeship of that court to succeed Edgar M. Cullen, whose term as chief judge ends this year. He was opposed for the place by Edgar Truman Brackett, former senator from Saratoga. The vote was 447 for Judge Werner and 151 for Brackett. Frank H. Hiscock of Syracuse, now sitting in the court of appeals by designation, was nominated for associate judge in that court, receiving 444 votes against 157 cast for Justice Frederick E. Crane of Brooklyn. May Revolutionize Warfare Schenectady, N. Y.-A stream of invisible light waves that will anilhilate the largest dreadnaught afloat or wither up a bomb-carrying aeroplane has been produced by William Burr Gibson of this city. The instrument is already in the hands of the United States government and is undergoing rigid tests. In a test made by the inventor before applying for the patent a charge of dynamite was exploded five miles distant. At the Twelfth Regiment armory, New York, commencing October 22 and continuing for ten days, an exposition is to be held to show the advancement made by the negro race in the United States during the last fifty years. The exposition is also intended to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. It is claimed that the exposition will represent more than 10,000,000 persons in the United States. The state's approval of the exposition was given in May last when the legislature passed an act appointing the emancipation proclamation commission, consisting of nine members, all negroes, and appropriating $25,000 for the purposes of the exposition. While the sum of $25,000 is not sufficient to meet the expenses of the exposition, contributions made by wealthy negroes in various parts of the country guarantee that there can be no failure of the enterprise through lack of funds. One negro in the south who owns thirteen plantations and is said to be worth not far from $750,000 has contributed heavily, while large contributions have been made by wealthy negroes in New York and other cities. Invitations to attend the exposition have been sent to every negro of prominence in the United States, a number of white persons of importance and to General Philippe Auguste, the negro president of Hayti, who, if he cannot attend in person, will send a delegation to represent the black republic, whose first president was a negro slave, Toussaint L'ouverture. A delegation from Santo Domingo is also expected and a representative from the government of Liberia. The colored cooks who were a marked type of southern farm life before the war are rapidly passing away. On thousands of plantations these cooks were born on the place and remained in service even after freedom came to them until they were taken to the little family burying ground for final rest. Occasionally one of these old colored cooks can be found still doing good service. The average pay for colored cooks on southern farms is from $5 to $8 per month. An exceptionally fine cook and one who has been in service many years sometimes gets as much as $10, but such wages are rare. The younger generation of colored cooks demand much higher wages and southern housewives find themselves compelled to pay from $15 to $24 per month in order to keep first-class servants.—Exchange. Mrs. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., delivered an address on "The Negro Woman in business" at Washington recently. She delivered a similar address before the Lott Cary Baptist association of the capital city. Her addresses are given with a view of encouraging women of her race to rise above the laundry and kitchen and to aspire to a place in the world of commerce and trade. She tells her own life story as an object lesson, having started business with $1.50, and now being worth thousands of dollars. Last year Algeria sent to the United States brierwood valued at about $68,000, goatskins at $61,000, rags $21,000 and wine worth $6,000. St. Etienne, France excludes women with visible hatpins from all public conveyances and places of entertainment. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Wigs of great literary men are cherished by some hero worshipers, and it is on record that the wig which Sterns wore while writing "Tristam Shandy" was sold soon after his death for $1,000. According to official statistics covering the whole of the German empire, the employers' organizations now number 132,458 members, covering 4,878,275 workers of both sexes. For frightening burglars there has been invented a flashlight that resembles a magazine pistol, but which shoots a ray of light when the trigger is pulled. Equality of strength in both arms occurs almost twice as frequently with women as with men, more men than women being stronger in the right arm than in the left. According to a prominent financial journal of Paris the consumption of coffee in the different countries of the world varies in inverse ratio to the import duty. The Mississippi river is 3,160 miles long and the Missouri, which empties into it, is 3,100 miles long. What is known as the polar regions cover 4,970,265 square miles, and have 200,000 inhabitants. Recent corrections in maps of Greenland have added about 150,000 square miles to its area. Hongkong last year imported 187, 000 pounds of ginseng, nearly all from the United States. PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS More than eight per cent. of the total wealth of the negro race is invested in church property. Fifty years ago, emancipation time, the negroes had scarcely any means of religious development. The entire south contained but 100 negro Sunday schools, and there were but three institutions of higher learning where a negro could be trained for the ministry. There are now 26 theological schools for negroes. Four large publishing houses devote their entire output to the needs of negro churches. Education of negroes in the south has shown similar gains. There were less than 100 schools for negro children at the close of the war. Now nearly 2,000,000 colored children are enrolled in public schools in the south, in care of 34,000 colored teachers. Higher education has increased correspondingly. In view of these facts economic advances is to be expected. The average negro just before the war was salable at about $500. There are 5,000 negroes in the professions and 30,000 engaged in business, including 64 negro banks. They own wealth estimated at $700,000,000. It is estimated that a free negro is now worth $2,500 to his community, five times his value to his former owner. The seventy-third annual Indiana conference of the A. M. E. church was held at Marion, Ind., recently, Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee of Xenia, O., had charge of the conference. The first annual conference in Indiana was held in a little log schoolhouse on Blue river, in Rush county, in 1840, Bishop Morris Brown of Washington presiding. The intervening years have seen the conference grow from a few churches, scattered over the state, to nearly 500 churches, of which Bethel A. M. E. church of Indianapolis stands at the head. The state is divided into three conference districts, namely, the Evansville, Richmond and Indianapolis, with presiding elders living in the latter city in charge of each. The reports made were encouraging. A ten-year-old negro girl will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, is the girl. Her income now is more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of a lucky allottee and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing oil well in the mid continent field near the town of Cushing. The well is producing over $2,500 a day and Sarah gets one-eighth of this as her share. A pistol combined with the tiny searchlight makes shooting in the dark sure and simple. The light projects a pencil-like ray and the bullet will strike the object on which the light shines. In the opinion of an English scientist the wear of macadam roads is not due to the suction of automobile tires, but almost entirely to the crushing effect of horseshoes and iron tired wheels. In Russia the majority of strikes in 1912 (1,216, with 511,300 participants) were due to politics. The other 702, with 172,052 participants, had economic motives affecting them. Breeding cattle and horses from South Africa have been sent to Cuba by an English ranch owner there, who will experiment with crossing them with American stock. School lunches are served at a nominal cost to elementary school children in 41 American cities, in 200 English, 150 German and 1,200 French communities. The stamps of Persia show the lion and the sun—the lion as a symbol of power and the sun as an emblem of the ancient fire worship of the Persians. More than 2,000,000 grass hats were exported to the United States from the Dutch West Indies during the third quarter of 1912. Miss Viola Miller, policewoman in Ottawa, Ill., has the distinction of reforming that town in one month. A suspension bridge with a main span 2,700 feet long is proposed for the Mersey river at Liverpool. School teachers in Cincinnati will soon receive an increase of 10 per cent in their salaries. Boston has a woman that has won first prize in 40 vegetable shows during the past season. Iron ore mined in 1912 in the United States amounted to 55,150,147 long tons. The graphite deposits of Madagascar are to be exploited by a French company.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913. During the recent National Baptist convention, the Nashville (Tenn.) Union-Review, a church organ, was published daily, and creditably, too. American prejudice, among the higher army officials in the Philippins, is causing our soldiers there to be imposed upon. They are made to do about all of the roughest and hardest work. A new form of slavery, S'more "Wilson administration"! The Oakland (Cal.) Western Out look will please accept our sincerest congratulations on the completion of its nineteenth year. We wish it many more years of success. The Outlook is one of our best papers, and Editors Joseph S. Francis and J. L. Derrick are among the most earnest race leaders. THE "LITTLE BROTHER." According to all we have been able to see and learn, Rev. Dr. Carey of Chicago, made the best speech delivered by a member of the race at any of the many "Perry Centennial Celebrations," held in recent weeks, along the "Great Lakes." Here is a portion of his splendid address and a fain "sample" of it, it is, too: "American history actually teems with deeds of heroism and of valor of dauntless courage and unwavering loyalty on the part of the 'Little Brother' (Afro-American) in the nation. To-day we speak of peace, of universal peace. How can there be universal peace without universal justices? The American people are in moral conflict with enemies far more potent, far more dreadful than the British fleet or armed cruisers, which must themselves be conquered or they will conquer us. Is the 'Big Brother' (white Americans) really big enough for the task, for the responsibility for the opportunity that is his? As a true American, one who loves his country and believes in this country's greatness and goodness, the 'Little Brother' stands here to-day to plea for a fair chance. We ask nothing more—we will be satisfied with nothing less. We have done and are still doing our part. We have ever been loyal to the flag—no black anarchist has ever torn the Starry Banner down. We feel that we have not had a square deal. In many States we are distranchised because of our race, and 'jim-crow' laws disgrace the statute books of every Southern State. Efficient and trustworthy Afro-American Government employees in Washington have recently been set apart from their fellows with whom they have worked for many years, as if they were lepers. The 'Little Brother' feels that such segregation is unnecessary, unfair, unjust, un-American and un-Christian." DISGUSTED WITH DEMOCRACY. Thoroughly disgusted with democracy and the Wilson administration because of the latter's miserable treatment of our people, in every way. Ex Municipal Judge E. M. Hewlett of Washington, D. C., has withdrawn his application for the position of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. In a letter to the President under the date of Sept. 15, 1913, Mr Hewlett calls his attention to the maliciously insulting segregation which at least two of his Cabinet officers have inaugurated in their government al departments at the nation's capital; to his, (the President's) appointment of a white man to represent this country at the black republic of Haiti where the latter and his family must mingle socially with blacks, and winds up his letter, to President Wilson, as follows: "Since your administration has done so much in an effort to humiliate and degrade my race, I would be wanting in manhood and self respect if I allowed the endorsements, in my behalf, to remain on file, or accepted an office position in the administration. If you dersed, I therefore must respectfully ask that all papers endorsing me be returned and my name not considered. The Negro asks no favors, but insists that he be treated as all other citizens, without regard to color. Will you, Mr. President, who believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, be insisting colored clerks in the departments is rescinded and that all other discrimination against my race ceases?" The judge, apparently, is not the only other prominent Afro-American "independent" or democrat thoroughly disgusted with democracy as controlled and conducted, these days, by its prejudiced leaders from the south. Bishop Alexander Walters, a thoroughly loyal race man, and leader of the so-called National Negro Democracy in the last national campaign, when Candidate Woodrow Wilson promised so much as to the fair-treatment of our people in the event of his elevation to the presidency, is, it is said, almost on the verge of breaking with democracy, too. We are sorry for the Bishop because his intentions were good. He joined the democratic Bishop Alexander Walters. party with the view and hope, as a result of his activities and good work, of being in a position, when the time came, as it has, to be of material help to our people. At heart, the Bishop is no more a democrat than the strongest Afro-American republican in the land. A VICIOUS ATTACK. In many places in Ohio the Colored people are beginning to see that Negro teachers for our children are the best. There is nothing in this thing of social mixing of the two races. The best whites don't want it any more than the best thinking Coloree. Give us our own leaders and the race profit thereby. The Urbana (O.) Infermer (monthly), E. W. Curry, editor Curry is at the head of a Colored school at Urbana which he is evidently trying to "boost" in some way by making the above untruthful statement. For years he has worked to establish this school, meeting with poor success (for obvious reasons), as far as we are able to learn. "Social mixing of the two races" in public schools is a vicious statement and Curry knows it; it is also a dangerous untruth. Evidently that is why it is used. He would promote "jim-crow" schools because he imagines it would in some way help his. Shame! This is not the first thing of the kind he has attempted, either. This will fall just as the others have. "The best whites and the best thinking Colored people do want the public schools, mixed as they are in Ohio, and what is more they are going to continue them just as they have for many, MANY years, Curry and the few of his kind to the contrary, notwithstanding. We will have "our own leaders" the race will permit proper Afro-Americans to lead them and not before, but we won't have "jim-crow" schools to please a few prejudiced whites and a few foolish Negroes who are looking for an easy living at the expense of a principle almost vital to the race. "There is no social mixing of the two races" in Ohio's mixed public schools, in a number of which are Negro teachers working side by side and in harmony with white teachers. And there will be more of them in the future. AN INNOVATION. It is explained that the appointment of Madison R. Smith, a Missouri white man, as minister to Haiti was made for the purpose of gratifying the Haitians. The other nations send white ministers to Port au Prince, and the United States sends white ministers plenipotentiary to every other capital. For many years the United States has been represented by Negro ministers at the Haitian capital, and it is said that a certain influential class of Haitians have resented the distinction. Negro ministers have not bloomed, but some of their families have a considerable French admixture. There are plenty of educated and cultured men. They do not, of course, object to a Negro American minister because he is a Negro, but they do object because he is the only Negro to hold an American diplomatic post outside of Liberia. The explanation of Mr. Wilson's appointment of Minister Smith appears reasonable, and it is difficult to believe that the selection will meet any widespread protest from Negroes in the United States. It is not probable that Negro ministers are representative of general racial sentiment.—Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer editorial, Sept. 23-13. The above is not only untrue and, but positively insulting—to the race-loyalty, race-respect and intellgence of Afro-Americans and Haitians alike. No sane person, familiar with the facts, would for a single moment credit the prejudiced American fie that Haitians, whether of full or mixed blood, are objecting, directly or indirectly, to the appointment of an Afro-American U. S. Minister to that country. As a matter of fact, Haiti and Liberia, if not also Santo Domingo, have always had and still prefer Afro-American representatives from this country. The reasons for this are too numerous and far too obvious to necessitate their publication in whole or in part, in order to convince any intelligent, unprejudiced person of the truthfulness of the foregoing statements. Equally untrue is the Plain Dealer editor's statement that "the United States sends white ministers plenipotentiary to every other capital," and that the "American Minister to Haiti is the only Negro to hold an American diplomatic post outside of Liberia." There are about a half dozen others, Mr. Plain Dealer editor. The explanation of President Wilson's appointment of the new U. S. (Haitian) Minister, a Mr. M. C. Smith, (white), of Missouri, does NOT "appear reasonable," and it is NOT difficult to understand why the selection is meeting and will continue to meet with the "wide spread protest" of Afro-Americans and all reasonable people of other classes. There is nothing in the world to justify the Smith appointment, and the only thing that can possibly be raked up as an THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913 excuse for the same is the silly and insulting American prejudice which the Wilson administration and the democratic Congress have shown in the wholesale dismissal of Afro-American federal office-holders, at home and abroad: in the secrecy of clerks of government departments at Washington, D. C., and in their retusal to give positions to even Afro-American democrats or republicans since southern democracy, which controls national democracy, "leaped into the saddle" at Washington, D. C., on the 4th of March, last year. The Plain Dealer may rest assured that there are far more than a "few scattered complaints," and that they ARE "representative of the general racial sentiment." Under the circumstances, how could it be other wise? PAPERS ON INTER-RACIAL PROBLEMS. Communicated to the First Universal Races' Congress Held at the University of London, July 26-9, 1911. Edited by Spencer S. Spencer, Jr. King & Son, Archard House, Boston, U. S. A., 28 A. Beacon Street, 1911 This is the title of a book of 485 pages, octavo, which may be well said to belong to the category of the really valuable literary output of the first decade of our century. The object of the Congress mentioned, was "to discuss in the light of science and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the West and those of the East, and to call for a so-called Colored peoples, with a view to encourage between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier co-operation. * * * Nearer and nearer we see approaching the day, when the vast population of the East will assert their claim to meet on equality the nations of the West; when, in short, the color prejudice will have vanished and the so-called Colored races shall no longer merely meet in the glowing report of missionary exposition, but, in very fact, regard one another as in truth men and brothers. The grave problems arising in various countries (and indeed very acutely, in our own) are to be discussed in an impassionate manner, the wise handling of which would remove dangers and possible causes of conflict, which, but for skilled guidance, might conceivably convulse mankind." Reviewed by request, for The Gazette by Adolf Pohle, Chicago, Ill. Women Barred! WOMEN BARREED Pluqa, O. of Barrett, here last week, of the north Ohio A. M. E. conference, possibly the most important matter was brought up on an appeal presented by Dr. J. M. Gilmore of Youngstown, former P. E., against the decision of Rev. Geo. W. Maxwell, P. E., permitting women as stewardesses to membership in the district conference. Bishop Shaffer, after referring to the discipline, quoting and explaining the law, rendered the episcopal decision that women could not be members or delegates of the district conference. Dr. Gilmore is to be congratulated on his victory. Send The Gazette your lodge news as well as your social, personal and church items of interest. This paper is for ALL of our people.

The Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W., met in Atlantic City, Aug. 26, 1903, and was largely attended. The suit in New York was decided in favor of W. H. Hutchess, because Justus Hughes (formerly Governor of N. Y.) decided there was no federal question involved in the case, as presented. It was the unanimous decision of the delegates to carry the case in Ohio to a final decision, and profit by the mistakes in the N. Y. case. The local lodge, Cuyahoga, is honored with the election of James H. Starkey, its present E. R. as Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight. The next meeting will be at Norfolk, Va. at the esteemed Loyal Knight at the same time, had a very harmonious session and elected all the old officers. The local Temple (Glenara), was honored by its P. D. R., Mrs. M. F. Green being re-elected. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotones decide our last disputes. For who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. DOINGS OF THE RACE On his fifteenth birthday anniversary, recently, Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, gave $250,000 to charities. Of this amount, $25,000 was given to Dr. Boeker T. Washington for the improvement and elevation of Afro-American schools. "Gunbac" Smith and Sam, Langford were to meet in a ten round bout in New York City, this week Friday night. Some more money for Langford. Organized Chicago Jews have organized the Ant-Defaunce League of America, for the purpose of eliminating the stage Jew, etc. The Afro-American, apparently, delights in the stage riddle of himself. There are about 1,000,000 Afro-Americans in the North; 94,446 in Washington, D. C.; 91,709 in New York City; 52,305 in Birmingham, Ala., and 22,762 in Mobile, Ala. Ninety-five per cent of the white women of Homersville, Ga., have petitioned the State Prison Commission, asking executive clemency for "Lage" Lane sentenced to hang) and are grave donors to his guilt of the crime for which he was convicted. Trailed to Los Angeles, Cal., from Chicago by a woman who claims to be his common-law wife, S. T. Bovey (white), one of the federal grand jurors who indicted "Jack" Johnson, for violation of the white slave act, was arrested in the California city, recently. At Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, a memorial has been erected in honor of the late Dr. Edward Wimot Blyden, scholar and linguist, one of the most famous of the world who in life. The memorial stands in front of Wilberforce Memorial Hall, Water street, close to St. George's Cathedral, and the bust faces the sea. It is easily seen by persons arriving by sea, rail or road. Frank Flicker Graef, convicted of complicity in the Etherington lynching at Newark, O., in July, 1910, and who served ten months on the penitentiary, released about a year ago, was found dead in a Newark hotel, Sept. 17.

He was convicted (white) whose folk later received $5,000, as provided for in Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Anti-Lynching law. BRICKS SHOULD BE USED. Williamson, O. Curtis, 1917. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir.—In common with others, I always want our people to get all the money (honestly) they can, especially if they save some of the proverbial "rainy day"; but it I am pleased to say that I did not notice a member of the race acting as a target for thrown balls at the Ohio State fair at Columbus, as I did at the North Randall fair, near Cleveland recently. Don't you think you should not for other than soft balls? To be fair himself and other members of the race, bricks and not balls should be used. What do you think of it? If you favor the same, we will see if we cannot, at least, make it difficult for him to secure a job at N. Randall in the future. (By all means do so.—Editor.) If you were too black to be admitted to Luna Park roller rink at summer, except if your parents are at age 18—we would be too black to be "used" on Monday and Tuesday evening now that the park is closed, even if "COLORED PATRONS" are especially solicited on these evenings. A FREE OFFER In a Great Effort to Raise a Fund to Pay Off Debt on the Douglass Home — General Friends Offices, New York Property to Successful Con- The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association has in augmented a movement to raise sufficient funds to pay off the mortgage on the home and provide funds to put the home of the late, and illustrious Douglass in excellent shape. The residence on Cedar Hill, at Washington ton, with all the furniture, books curios, etc., belonging to Mr. Douglass, and with its fifteen acres of land on the property, will be the home to the White House, be bequeathable to the race to be maintained forever as a memorial and as a retreat where all might go, without charge, and enjoy it and everything which once was the property of the great apostle of freedom. A mortgage hangs over the home, which the trustees for years have been trying to pay off. For lack of funds, the beautiful, historical old house, which was once a lasting disgrace were this home to fall into the hands of the white man, or were its valuable furniture, books, papers, works of art and curios collected by Mr. Douglass to become lost through decay because the race he labored so hard to make free lacked sufficient respect and reverence for his memory to pay off the debt on the home and put in repair attention to the advertisement in another part of this newspaper offering two New York building lots absolutely free to the largest number of coupons. We urge men and women, and girls to enter this contest and assist to raise the necessary fund to pay off the mortgage on the home of the late, and illustrious Douglass, since and begin collecting coupons, for forming them to this newspaper each week, accompanied by five cents for each coupon sent in. Here is an opportunity to secure a valuable lot, which may be worth several thousands dollars to you in a short time, for New York real estate increases in value amazingly fast, and at the same time you will help raise the fund required to preserve the home of that illustrious Negro, Frederick Douglass. Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in The Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our read- and all of our friends to purchase those who ask for your trade in this paper.

When a "Jim Crow" attains to a position of trust and honor in the nation's employ though the position be of a minor nature, his success is in the face of racial handicaps that make his progress unreasonably difficult. Courage and force of character are required if he is to win his way. It would be shameful to add further handicaps based on the color of his skin and ignoring his moral and intellectual qualities. To establish a national stature of government Washington would be of interest, to violate the canons of true democracy. Further, the injury to the self-respect and natural ambition of American Negroes would be serious. The Negro is a patriot. Shall the government to which he gives his allegiance thrust him aside as at best a second rate patriot?

This is a matter we trust our City Federation of Women's clubs took up promptly and handled properly with the management of the firms mentioned. Our women's large patronage of both of these stores ought to give them our attention to bring about an immediate discontinuance of that sort of advertising. --- The testimonial recital given for Miss Olive Wells, Sept. 23, by St. John's choir, surpassed anything ever attempted by that excellent organization.

York building lot Free BASERALL Bob Groom, has struck his stride again. Baseball Players' fraternity has nearly 450 members. Nap Rucker, too, is planning a pilgrimage to Bonesetter Reese. Eddie Foster is playing as good ball for the Senators as he ever did in his life. Hank O'Day says a ball player is at his best when he is about thirty years old. Griffith has shipped one of his Cubans, Calvo, to Atlanta of the Southern league. Dent, a pitcher sent to Atlanta by Griffith early in the season, has shown excellent control. President Navin of Detroit has warned Ty Cobb not to play winter ball in California. Walter Tragesser, a newcomer in the major leagues, has signed with the Boston Nationals. A Detroit paper says: "Consider the Illy and Roger Bresnahan; they toll not, neither do they spin." Connie Mack comes out with the statement that he will have a better team next season. What for? Lefty Leifeld, who was sent to the coast by the Cubs, won the first two games he pitched for the Seals. Comiskey well can afford to be happy if he knows that both Walsh and Russel will be in tiptop shape next year. Jack Fournier, the big Frenchman of the White Sox, is a wrestling enthusiast and great admirer of Frank Gotch. We can imagine of nothing of less consequence than being afraid of losing a job as manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Manager Mack is beginning to realize that Eddie Plank is getting old—a fact of which most fans were not cognizant. Hughey Jennings remarks that Ralph Comstock, his recruit hurler, has more nerve than any youngster he ever saw. Joe Berger, who has supplanted Maurice Rath at second base for the White Sox, is making a big hit with Chicago fans. Johnny Beall, the youngster who went to Milwaukee in part payment for Chappell, is batting in the clean-up position for the Brewers. The leading White Sox "slugger" is batting .274. Standing answer to inquiry, "What's the matter with the Chicago American league club?" Irving Porter, a young outfielder secured by the Reds, has a batting average of over .400 in the New England league and is faster than Jim Thorpe. Ben Tincup, a pitcher, has been bought by the Phillies. If he can overcome the handicap his name gives him, he may make good in the majors. The Yanks are beginning to behave like regular ball players, and cartoonists and paragraphers will soon have to look for some one else to poke fun at. --- Artie Hoffman is playing a comeback role with the Nashville Southern League club and it is probable that he will be with the New York Yankees in 1914. Tommy Leach to succeed Evers as manager is the latest program mapped out by Cub rumor mongers. If Leach falls then Bresnahan will be tried, they proclaim. Miller Huggins is an ingenious chap. He has offered Konetchy for about half of McGraw's ball club. The Giants' leader might accept the generous offer at that. Caldwell is one of the best hitting pitchers in the big leagues. He is good enough to hold down a regular berth in the outfield if he were not needed on the slab. Helnie Zimmerman has another incentive for "being good." McGraw has promised him a trip around the world. Ping Bodle has been promised the same thing. Pitcher Kirby, who belongs to Toronto, pitched a no-hit game for Guelph against St. Thomas in the Canadian league on August 6. He struck out ten men. Minor league magnates are hot after some of that major league ready money. Big league magnates have spent about $50,000 for five players recently. Some of these were astro- The Pirates, Cubs, Reds and Tigers all are said to be after Cyril Slapnick, the big Greek, who hg been pitching clever ball for the Milwaukee club of the American association. Doc Scanlon, who is under reserve in the Phillies, has pitched two no-hit games for the Independent team in the Brooklyn suburbs that lands him a piece of money each Saturday. Hank O'Day says Tinker's showing has vindicated him (O'Day) for what happened in Cincinnati last year. BROOKLYN The recent defeats of Eddie Plank have convinced his most loyal backers that he is actually about done, in spite of his spurt at the beginning of the season. Eddie will have to pitch a couple of no-hit games to convince the doubters that he is not ready to quit just yet. Zinn, a former Yankee, is playing field for the Braves. Philadelphia writers think Reed, the recruit shortstop, looks like a comer. Tim Murrane has denied the story that he intends resigning as head of the New England league. Manager McGraw expects Rube Marquard, his star southpaw heaver, to be the star of the coming world's series. Frank Farrell, owner of the New York Americans, does not intend to let money stand in the way of building up the Yankees. Griffith believes Clyde Milan, his star outfielder, is as good as Tris Speaker or any of them as far as accurate throwing is concerned. Connie Mack figures he will have seyen pitchers in shape for the world's series. They are Plank, Bender, Coombs, Houck, Brown, Shawkey and Bush. Pitcher Guardars, whose every day stunt while twirling for the Ashland (Wis.) team was to strike out 10 or 20 men, has been signed by the Chicago White Sox. George Whitted, the Cardinals' young shortstop, wastes a lot of time straightening up for each throw, according to Huggins, who is trying to eradicate the failing. SPORTING WORLD It is said that Jim Jeffries has offered to help Ad Wolgast get into condition to re-enter the fight game. As a result of the death of "Bull" Young the boxing game is ended in Los Angeles for a while at least. Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' association races at Lexington, from October 6 to 18, will be for pursue aggregating $65,000. Yost has decided he won't start the Michigan football candidates on their work so early as he had intended. He is afraid they will go stale. An attractive offer has been made for Etawah, the greatest three-year-old of the year, with a record of 2:074% growth its cost present owner but $8,500. . . . The value of the Irish Derby of 1915 the big horse race of the Emerald Isle, will be increased to 2,500 sovereigns, and the Irish Oaks to 1,000 sovereigns. Packey McFarland says that five pounds is all that keeps Charlie White from the lightweight championship. Charlie's fighting weight is 128 pounds. The entire programme of sporting events on the German Olympics to be held in Berlin in 1916 will be run off in eight days, two less than at Stock holm last year. Fred M. Thompson of Jackson Mich, recently sold Farmer Spear for $10,000 to O. W. Parcell. Farmer Spear won many trotting stake events early this season. Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world, has said he wants to be champion but two years more, then he will turn the title over to some clean young fellow. Notre Dame will not lose Elchenlaub and Dorlas, conceded by western critics to be two of the best of the 1912 gridiron performers. Both have announced their intention of returning to school. It may be a great deal of consolation to our English brethren to learn that San Francisco has produced an other couple of tennis players who look the counterparts of Maurice McLoughlin. The Californians told the truth when they said that Leata J. was one of the best pacers they have sent across the divide. She not only is fast, but she is a superior racing proposition as well. . . . Ar Chung, a young Chinese light weight boxer of Boston, made Pa McCary, a Gothan boxer, quit in the sixth round of a scheduled ten round bout at New York. Ar Chung is said to be the first Chinese boxer to apear in a New York ring. THE CAZETTE, CLEVE AND O. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913 VARIETY IN THE COMING STYLES Monotony That Marked Spring Tailormades Is Absent From Autumn Fashions. DARK COLORS FOR STREET No Doubt That Predominating Shades for Outdoor Wear Will Be Somber — Masculine Accessories Promise to Be a Particular Feature. Shopping for the autumn tailored suit will be far more interesting than for the spring tailormade because variety is the keynote of the coming styles. There was a wearisome monotony last season in both skirts and coats; little variation in length, practically none in trimming, and very little in cut and material. This year there are modes for all manner of women; there are short, jaunty coats for tall, slender figures, long, three-quarter length garments for more majorly figures; draped skirts and plain ones; betts and waistcoats or wide sashes and vests. She would be indeed a curious creature who could not find a suit to please her this autumn. Street Costumes Dark. On one point the majority of French couturiers agree, and that is a dark subdued coloring for street costumes. The bright, vivid tones are all very well for the summer, when every one is in a riotous mood, but for the winter the reaction from those violent colorings is very lean, from blush however, has a serious tint in "tete de negre," which is almost indistinguishable from black, but which on close inspection betrays a brownish shading. Another equally popular color is midnight blue, a very deep navy blue that suggests black. There is also a deep rich purple and a georgite green which is darker than the famous Bakst green. Masculine Accessories. This leaning toward dark colors for the street does not mean that all color will be kept for indoor functions and for the evening, but that the brilliant tones will be centered in the trimming. Vests and waistcoats may reflect one or many of the radiant hues, some of the art nouveau stuffs displaying a remarkable blending of color. Against the dark background of the suit those accessories borrowed from the masculine contingent stand out with a vividness which is startling. Take, for instance, the waistcoat on the suit at the right of the illustration. This waistcoat was exploited in one of the Rodler vestings, a bright golden yellow duvety, with conventional flower pots developed in scarlet and green. Fortunately, the material does not look as crude and garish as the description might lead one to think and with the "tete de negre" velours le laine suit it is very effective. The Sketch. Waistcoats are of many types; some are mere vests, which fill in the open space in front made by glanting the coat directly back from the fastening over the bust; others are fashioned like men's waistcoats, with backs of plain satin. Many coats are made to be worn with or without the waistcoat, and the waistcoat, on the other hand, is worn frequently without the coat. The plain attas and satins are used generally or the waistcoats worn with blouses. Still another type of waistcoat could be described as a girdle vest. The waistcoat on the middle figure in the sketch is built along these lines. A bright green and white satin has been adapted and draped around the figure. When the jacket is removed the effect is very similar to that produced by my high girdle. Plaids Popular The color note is sounded also in plaids, which are combined freely with plain materials, but this color note, it must be admitted, is very much subdued. It has been many seasons since plaid goods have been so popular as they are today, and the ear is expressed that their popularity will tend to cheapen them. One either likes or dislikes a plaid material; there are no half measures, and the woman who over-uses plaids is almost sure to kill them for the woman in search of exclusive styles. There are some very artistic plaid materials shown, many reproductions of the well-known Scotch tartans, and a large number of new designs in soft greens and blues, with stripes of silver or gold and unusual brown and purple combinations. Plaids are being made both in silk and in cloths. The costume shown in the sketch is developed in volours de laine. the plaid forming the skirt, and the plain blue volours de laine appearing in the jacket. The plaids permit a certain discreet amount of draping, though they are more satisfactory cut in straight: lines with, perhaps, a few pleats as displayed in the sketch. Collar and cuffs of the plaid connect the skirt with the jacket. On the longer coats, fashioned on the order of a Russian blouse, the wide girdle-like belt may be likewise of the plaid. The pleats on the skirt just mentioned are interesting as indicative of a style that one of the well-known contourers means to push this winter. She showed at her opening an unusual number of pleated skirts; some pleated at one side, others pleated all around. So far, in fact, Waistles for the Traveler. Crepe de chines are popular and practical, as they clean easily. The familiar double frill is still used, as are also narrow frills which outline the front pleats, or follow the side fastening. They have the button through collar and cuffs, with long shoulder lines. Wash silks have broad or narrow stripes in purple, gray, blue, rose, yellow or brown. Then again, any color may be found with a white stripe. All these silks are made in the manshine style. Un- did she carry her prediction for pleats that the jacket of one suit was box pleated to match the skirt. Mors About the Sketch. As a general rule, the majority of skirts are draped, rather than plaited, and the drapery is almost as valuable in position as the plaits. On the more dressy tailored skirts the front drapery is in evidence, but on the skirt for hard wear, a slight draping of the front into the side seam, or a modest draping of the material in the back is often used. The draping of the skirt on the right hand figure is exceedingly well done, and in keeping with the general style movement of the autumn. The fullness in the front is gathered into the V-shaped yoke, and allowed to fall to the ground in the front, giving the desirable "hitching-up" effect. A similar effect is produced with a yoke which extends several inches deeper in the back than in front. When the yoke is extended in length it becomes a tunic and forms one of the chief style features of many of the tailored skirts. The tunic skirt is more in evidence than ever, and, while the tunic is not wired, except on dress velvet costumes, it does hang full on many of the cloth skirts and takes on a pannier draping, which is very becoming to slender figure. Even in tailored skirts the fulness is retained between the hips and the knees, and it may be accentuated, as it is in the skirt on the middle figure, where actual pockets, to hold handkerchiefs, vanity cases and other feminine trivalences, are placed on either side. The tailored interpretation of the three and four-floored skirt is the tier skirt, of an equal number of tiers or tunics. On the several tailored skirts the tiers are stitched, but on the more dressy suits one or more of the tiers or tunics are outlined with fur. The jackets are as varied in cut as the skirts, and range from the skirt jacket, suggesting the eton, to the long, three-quarter Russian Coat. The former may stop short at the waist line, in the back, as well as in the front, or it may continue in the form of coattails nearly to the knees. As a rule, these little coats fasten just once across the bust, and display a brightly colored waistcoat, with two V-shaped tabs below the waist line, which may, or may not, be marked by a belt. A larger number of coats range in length from 24 to 26 inches, are cut away in the front to a more or less degree and slant in the back to long, square tails. This is not a distinctly new style, but it is so universally becoming that the more conservative couturiers have adopted it as the fundamental mode in many of their garments. Still other coats take on the boxey lines of the topcoat, with the fulness restrained slightly by a belt, which may encircle the waist like a deep girdle or merely extend across the back. There are other dressmakers, prominent and influential, who cling to the long, loose lines of the Russian garment. This style is particularly good with fur trimmings, and the touch of fur is almost obligatory this season. New Flare. Aside from these general styles there is a novel flare in many of the new coats—a flare that lends a ripple to the skirt of the coat and makes it stand out from the figure in a manner slightly suggestive of the tunic. With the pegtop skirts, and others showing unusual fulness over the hips, the flare in the coat becomes a necessity. It is noticeable likewise on many of the coats where the skirt portion is attached to the upper part at a slightly raised waist line. This marking of the waist line may be considered the connecting link between the long and short coats, for it lends the effect of a short coat to a long garment, in very much the same way that the tunic on the skirt gives the appearance of a long coat to a suit where the jacket stops at the waist line. Luncheon Favor. A dainty bonbon box, suitable for a luncheon favor, can be made of crepe paper in the form of a rose, or daisy, or any flower which successfully carries out the color idea. A rose is perhaps the easiest flower to make, although almost any flower could be fashioned with a little ingenuity, says the New York Press. To make the rose, cut petals from crepe paper and curl them around the edges of the center, curving outward. The center is one of the little pinked paper cups that come in candy boxes. The petals are made long enough so that they can be wrapped under the cup with wire. The rose cup is then fastened to a green stem, made by twisting crepe paper around the wire. Crepe paper leaves are added and the rose cup is complete. A large bonbon is placed in the center of each rose and the effect is very quiet and charming. Net Device to Protect Waist Walst protectors of fine net, to be worn under the coat collar for the protection of the waist beneath it, are made of net and lace, says the Philadelphia Times. One attractive style is made of the white net, a strip about half a yard wide laid in soft plaits and finished at the ends with white silk tassels. Another style is made of two strips of shadow lace edge fastened together along the straight edges with a piece of narrow lace beading. This protector is finished with gift tassels. Some of these protectors are allowed to crumple and fold naturally under the coat, some are held straight and flat with wire collar stiffener four or five inches high. lined net and lace waists are also very practical, as they are easily laundered and cool. Bows at the Back. One of the whims of fashion is the placing of bows at the back of the neck instead of at the front. The bows are flat and tailored in effect and the fringed ends reach to the waist. This method of placing bows seems to be in line with the tendency to gather the skirt in the front and leave it plain in the back CONTRIVANCE OF MANY USES Peddler Finally Succeeds in Discovering Proper Temptation in Selling an Improved Rat-Trap. Deddler (opening bag)—I have here, madam, an improved rattrap, which— Lady of House—"We are never troubled with rats." "Which can also be used for cracking nuts—" "We never use nuts of any kind." "Or as a coffee roaster. Adjusted in this manner in—" "We always buy our coffee roasted." "Just so. Reversing the wires that form the upper portion and bringing down the side flap thus, we have a device for holding eggs when cooking—" "We never eat eggs." "And by folding these wire loops, as you see me doing now, it makes a handy arrangement for holding a mirror—" "Haven't the slightest use for such a thing." "By adjusting another small mirror in this position, and another at this angle, as you will notice, and placing it in a kitchen window, for example, it has the curious effect of enabling the observer, seated at one side of the window, and entirely out of sight, to see distinctly through any window that may be opposite, and to note what is going on inside, and all I ask for this most useful and comprehensive invention is seventy-five cents, which is only about one-half—" Harold—I've got an—aw—beastly headache this mawning, doncher know. Hattle—What caused it? Harold—A howid thought stwuck me last night. Equal to the Occasion. The eminent traveler who was giving an illustrated lecture threw a picture of a celebrated Japanese upon the screen. "This," he said, "is a portrait of Admiral Togo. I wonder if any little boy or girl in the audience has ever heard of him or can tell me what made him famous." Bobby Shortall raised his hand. "Well, my son?" "He's the man they named the Salirey Togo trunk after." Didn't Know Him. A drill sergeant was drilling the recruit squad in the use of the rifle. Everything went smoothly until blank cartridges were distributed. The recruits were instructed to load their pieces and stand at the "ready," and then the sergeant gave the command: "Private Lunn was puzzled. He lowered his gun. 'Which one is Will?' he asked. "He asked me why I thought I ought to have it." "What did you tell him?" "I told him that I had been twelve years in the same place." "And the,?" "He said I ought to be ashamed of myself." And There Are Others. "You advertise that you can remove wrinkles." "Yes, but we seldom have men patients." "Oh, I'm not a patient. It's my wife. Her latest wrinkle is that she would look well in one of these silhouette gowns." "The only way to cure that wrinkle would be to give her one of them." Going by Authority. Jim Jackson—No, sah—yo' don't ketch dis coon wukkin' on a rainy day like dis! Squire Hennery (astounded)—Rainy? Jim Jackson—Wal, dat's wet de almanac says, an' dat's good 'nuff foh me!—Puck. All Right "If you were a minister would you be satisfied to have the men of your congregation come to church without their coats?" "Certainly, why not? A man usually carries his cash in his trousers." His Mind on Insecte. She (hearing her father coming)—Fly! He (a bit mooney)—Where? I'll swat it! Adding the Insult. "What's the matter?" demanded the impatient passenger in the stalled automobile. "It it seems to be a case of locomotor ataxicab, sir," responded the chauffeur, with a mirthless laugh. True Heroes. "Who says the age of heroes is over?" "What has roused your enthusk asm now?" "These men who march in the suf fracte parades." A Comparison. "You say the nobleman your daughter married reminds you of summer fiction." "Yes," replied Mr. Cumrox. "It's a case of a fine title for a mighty uninteresting piece of work."
