Sullivan, Tammany leader. It had not been known until this action was taken that "Big Tim" had a daughter. The report of the house lobby investigating committee at Washington severely censures Representative McDermott and asserts that the National Association of Manufacturers and other organizations have maintained an improper lobby in Washington.

John D. Rockefeller contributed $25,000 to the fund of $25,000 being raised for St. Vincent's hospital, a Catholic institution, which is more generally known as Charity hospital at Cleveland. The subscription is made on the condition that the entire expected fund is raised. Less than $30,000 is now lacking. Two thousand Indianapolis union teamsters who have been on strike returned to work. Several more team owners signed union contracts, it was said at the labor temple.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1913. CAPTAIN M. M. NEELEY Captain Necley is the new congressman from the First West Virginia district, succeeding John W. Davis who was appointed solicitor general of the United States. NEW CHIEF OF N.Y.C. Alfred H. Smith Rises From Errand Boy to Head of Railroad. Cleveland, O.—Alfred H. Smith, who as a boy was graduated from Rockwell school, this city, Wednesday, in New York, was elected president of the New York Central railroad system to succeed W. C. Brown, who resigned a month ago. Smith is just 48. His rise in the railroad world reads like a novel romance. Starting as a $4 a week errand boy for the Lake Shore system here, Smith has in little more than 30 years climbed to the very pinnacle in the railroad world, to be in charge of a $550,000,000 chain of railroads. After quitting Rockwell school he ran the elevator in the old Lake Shore offices here and swept out some of the rooms. Then, instead of becoming a clerk, he elected to take up outside railroad work, and roughed it as one of the road's bridge gangs. It was in 1881 that he started this outside work. Step by step he advanced, becoming foreman of a gang, then reaching the division superintendency. MRS. YOUNG FORCED OUT MRS. YOUNG FORCED OUT RESIGNS AS HEAD OF SCHOOLS WHEN BOARD FAILS TO SUPPORT HER. Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, the first woman to become superintendent of schools of a large city, was forced out of her position when the board of education had a tie vote on her re-election. Immediately on the announcement of the vote Mrs. Young resigned her position, saying that without the support of the board she would have to decline to permit her name to go before the board again. John D. Shoop, assistant superintendent, was elected to succeed Mrs. Young. Mrs. Young has met with constant opposition, and a few months ago resigned her position because she was not allowed to have full sway in educational matters in Chicago. The resignation was withdrawn at the request of Mayor Harrison, who assured her a free hand in the future. SELLS HIS BLOOD, DIES MAN WANTED THE MONEY TO BUY CHRISTMAS PRES. ENTS FOR WIFE. Grand Rapids, Mich.—The Christmas season was drawing near and financial troubles beset him, so Clare M. Skinner, 35, availed himself of the opportunity to sell six ounces of his blood for $100 to buy Christmas things for his wife. Wednesday his funeral was held here. Jacob S. Meyer was in a local hospital. He had lost a great quantity of blood and his wealthy relatives decided to pay $100 to any one who would submit to transfusion. Skinner jumped at the chance. Meyer died a few days later, and Skinner died Tuesday. Three Deputies Shot. Houghton. Mich.-While anti-strike mass meetings were being held in Calumet and Houghton three deputy sheriffs were shot and wounded by striking copper miners at Hancock. The shooting followed attempts of the officers to search strikers believed to have been carrying guns. Feeling is intense because of the shooting and because of threats made by persons "interested in preserving law and order" to banish labor organizers from outside states from the Michigan copper regions. PROMOTERS OF GOOD WILL Managers of Mississippi State Fair Show Afro-America Fine Courts. At the very moment when the segregation order at Washington has aroused such strong feeling and much indignant protest, friends of the Negro will surely welcome any sign of hopefulness for the race, especially when that sign is manifested in the state of Jefferson Davis and Vardaman, the only state in the Union which now contains a population more than 50 per cent Negro—consequently, where the race problem might seem to be most acute. The managers of the Mississippi state fair, recently held in Jackson, the capital, some months ago, determined to give Negro exhibitors a larger opportunity than has been theirs in years past. They permitted the erection of a Negro building by Negro contractors, encouraged exhibits not only from Negro schools but also individual exhibitors, and also designated the last two of the ten days of the fair as Negro days, with provision for a Negro parade and mass meeting addressed by speakers of both races, athletic contests and a decoration contest, all of which were successful. The results have been altogether happy. The Negro building was filled to overdowing with exhibits altogether creditable, largely from Negro schools, but also from individual exhibitors. The Negro parade, said to have been a mile long and to have included about 5,000 Negroes, with double that number looking on, was a surprise, not to say an astonishment. In the eyes of both Negroes and white people. It included foats, illustrative of phases of Negro progress since emancipation; sections of Negro school children and thousands of plain citizens; was orderly, impressive and by its general good management proved the organizing capacity of Negro leadership. Concerning it the Jackson Daily News commented: "Negro day at the state fair has simply knocked the spots out of any feature that the white patrons of the big institution have pulled off this year—or almost any year, for that matter. The parade, shortly before the noon hour, was hardly short of a sensation. To say that it created astonishment among the white folk is expressing it very mildly. Honestly, you've got to hand it to the colored folks." "They have as: an example of civic pride, enthusiasm in behalf of the state fair and pride for their native state that white folks could well emulate." An immense audience of both white and colored people gathered for the noonday mass meeting and listened to addresses from prominent citizens of both races that were able and full of good feeling. MEMORIAL MEETING FOR LATE DR. JOHN R. FRANCIS. Noted Statesmen and Educators Praise Worth of Able Physician. Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, was one of the speakers at a memorial meeting held in Washington Monday evening, Nov. 24, for the late Dr. John R.

William Jennings Bryan, secretary of state; Dr. William M. Davidson, superintendent of Washington schools; Professor George W. Cook of Howard university, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States bureau of education and William L. Washington, head worker at the Colored Social settlement. The meeting was held in the Metropolitan A. M.

Williams, agent of Slater and Jeanes educational funds; Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph.D., pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church; Samuel Cohen of Richmond, and Dr. Douglass Freeman of the state board of health. Cheering Words from Mayor Ainalle. In his welcome address to the Negro organization society at its first annual meeting recently held in Richmond, Va., Mayor George Ainsle declared his hearty interest in the standard of citizenship of every member of the community. He said he believed in the society and its motto of "Better Schools, Better Health, Better Homes and Better Farms." BANKS THE VICTOR IN DAMAGE SUIT FOUR YEARS' LITIGATION. Decision of Common Pleas Court of Allegheny County, Pa., Upheld by Superior Tribunal of the State. Pittsburgh Railroad and Allied Lines Lose Case on Appeal. By Rev. P. A. SCOTT. Pittsburgh. - William J. Banks, residing at 39 Fullerton street, Pittsburgh, a former Pullman car porter, was recently given a verdict against the Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway by the superior court of Pennsylvania, which means a great victory not only for Mr. Banks, but for Pullman porters and other colored employees of the great Pennsylvania company. A little more than four years ago, while Mr. Banks was in the employ of the above named company as a porter, he was seriously injured in a railroad wreck, from which he has not yet fully recovered. Believing that he was justly due some indemnity for the suffering and the loss of time and money and falling to see a disposition on the part of the railroad company to make satisfactory restitution, he brought suit for damages. His attorneys were Wishart & Dickey, a prominent law firm of this city. The case was tried in the common pleas court of Allegheny county and, finding that the wreck in which Mr. Banks was injured was due to carelessness on the part of the employees of the railroad, the court gave Mr. Banks WILLIAM J. BANKS. a verdict of $1,250. The railroad company appealed the case to the superior court of Pennsylvania. After carefully examining into the merits of the case, the superior court handed down a decision confirming the verdict of the lower court granting the said Mr. Banks the sum of $1,250, with interest from the time of the lower court's decision. It was brought out in this trial that when entering the employ of the Pullman company each employee is required to sign a release of all claims for damages which may subsequently accrue for injuries sustained, whether or not such injuries were caused by negligence of the Pullman company or of the railroad company hauling its cars. By its terms this contract is made to inure to the benefit of the carrying railroad. The real question in this case was whether or not such contracts are valid. The superior court held that neither the Pullman company nor the railroad company can relieve itself from liability for negligence by such a contract. It is the policy of the law of the state of Pennsylvania that a common carrier cannot by contract relieve itself from liability for its own negligence. In having the courage to press this matter and test the laws of Pennsylvania Mr. Banks has found a way that will force this and other great corporations to have a more just regard for the life and safety of their employees and has also placed many hundreds of his hard working fellow laborers under lasting obligations to him for this victory that means so much in their behalf. Archie Lewis Dies In Washington. The recent death of Mr. Archie Lewis in Washington removes from the community one of its old landmarks among both the white and colored people. He served as chief of the robing room of the United States supreme court. The deceased was a native of Virginia and had served in the above named position since 1840. He was eighty-two years of age. When Mr. Lewis began his duties in the robing room Judge Taney of the Dred Scott decision fame was the presiding justice. New Pythian Temple In Evansville, Ind. Indiana Knights of Pythias are receiving congratulations on the near completion of the Pythian temple in Evansville. The building complete cost $20,000. It will be ready for occupancy about Dec. 20, according to the present calculations of the contracts. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS UPLIFT WORK IN VIRGINIA. Editors Were Ignored by Organiza- tion Society, State Norfolk Paper. tion Society, Says Norfolk Paper. Under the caption "Ignored the Press" the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide in a recent editorial said: "The Negro organization society is in session in Richmond. Summed up briefly, the object of the society is to create for the race 'better schools, better health, better homes, better farms.' We have before us a program of the session, in which is represented every sort of Negro organization and every agency for the improvement of Negro life with the exception of the Negro press. "The church, the school, the secret society, the farmer, the physician, the lawyer, the merchant and even the humble woman missionary are represented, but there is no one to speak for what the press is doing for race uplift. "There are twelve Negro newspapers in Virginia, each of which wields considerable influence for good, and if it were not for these twelve Negro newspapers very little would be known of the Negro Organization society or of those who compose it. "Advance notices of the meeting were sent out to most of these papers, and they were generously published. Detailed reports of the sessions will be sent to the papers also, and these will be published as far as space will permit. The Negro press is one of the most unselfish agencies at work for the uplift of the Negro, one of the most powerful and yet the least appreciated. The orators on the program of this meeting will speak their messages to the hundreds under the sound of their voices; the Negro press will take up the message and herald to thousands and hundreds of thousands of readers. This is the unselfish mission of the Negro press. "Just why the press was ignored in this important meeting we do not know. It was perhaps just one of those blunders that are so often committed by some of the 'big Negroes' in charge of the affair who would not be known outside of their home towns if it were not for the free advertising given them by the Negro press." SOUTHERN RACE QUESTIONS. University Commission to Hold Import- tant Meeting in Richmond, Va. The third meeting of the university commission on southern race questions will be held in Richmond, Va., on Dec. 19. The commission, which owes its inception to Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes fund and former dean of Tulane university, embodies one main idea—that the time has come for southern white people to study carefully and to speak out boldly on the questions affecting the Negro in his relation to the life of the southern people. It is a nonsalaried body and is composed of one representative from each of eleven southern state universities. Its aim is two-fold—first, to discover all the facts possible to learn about the status of the Negro in the south, and, second, to bring these facts to the attention of the white people of the south as effectively as possible. More than any other one thing, the commission hopes to make southern white men of weight speak out frankly. Professor W. O. Scroggs of the Louisiana State University sets the motion: "The four great needs in dealing with our southern race problems are education, co-operation, publicity and patience. As to education. I believe it is highly desirable that a course of instruction in the race question should be given in every institution for higher education in the south. In such a course it should be the object to place before the students the best thought of representative American citizens on this subject and to assist them in adopting a rational viewpoint on all matters concerning interacial relations. "This would undoubtedly have a good effect, but even then much more will remain to be done. The real problem, I believe, is not so much to reach the university student as it is to reach the man who lives on Jones' creek at the head of the hollow. He is not influenced by the printed page, but by the spoken word, and the only spoken word he ever hears on this subject is from one of his own group or from the lips of the demagogue." Industrial School Needs More Room. The Rappahannock Industrial academy at Ozanna, Va., is making good progress under the leadership of Principal W. Edward Robinson. The most urgent need of the school for the present is a dormitory for the young men. Principal Robinson is making an earnest effort to raise the necessary amount to meet the expense of the proposed improvement as speedily as possible. The charter of the institution allows a holding of real estate to the amount of $50,000. Several Friends of the school have given generously to its support, and it is hoped that the amount now sought may soon be raised. Try Segregation by Elimination. The presence of white men as barbers in the shops of the house of representatives in Washington is new and very strange to the old patrons. Until recently colored men had been employed in the shops of the house for the past fifty years. It is quite significant that where the operators of the present program of race segregation in Washington cannot segregate they eliminate. MISS DOROTHY CAMPBELL MARIS A. EWING Miss Dorothy Campbell, the beautiful daughter of Congressman and Mrs. Philip P. Campbell of Kansas, is to be formally introduced to Washington society on December 16. She has just returned from a trip to Panama with her father. SIX KILLED, TWO HURT Seven Hundred Pounds of Powder Explodes in Dupont Works. Gibbstown, N. J.-Six men were killed and two injured in an explosion of 700 pounds of gunpowder at the Dupont Powder works here. All the dead were employed in the gelatine mixing house, which was leveled to the ground by the explosion. They were: Harry Horner, Paulsboro. Howard Clark, Paulsboro. Herbert Mullen, Paulsboro. Stanley Joka, Paulsboro. Stanley Kasper, Paulsboro. Joseph Schmusl, Gibbstown. The injured men, Alexander Bosack and Michael Sam, were employed near the mixing house and were almost buried under the debris, which was sent flying in all directions. They will recover. The building in which the men lost their lives was a scene of a similar explosion about three months ago, when four men were killed and a score injured. Officials of the plant were unable to say what caused the explosion. There were about 1,000 employed in the plant at the time. The detonation threw the towns of Paulsboro and Gibbstown into a state of great excitement. SEES WAR IN U. S. IN 1914 MME, DE THEBES, CLEAREBATED FRENCH SEER, ALSO MAKES OTHER PREDICTIONS. Paris, France.—War probably will descend upon the United States in 1814, according to Mme. De Thebes, the celebrated seer, whose predictions for next year fairly bristle with martial forecasts. The entire globe, she says, is to be under the domination of Mars. England will have to face several grave dangers. London is to be visited by a flood. Portugal will see the restoration of her monarch. Austria will be visited by terrible strife and the streets of Vienna will run with blood. MORE MONEY FOR AIDS ATTORNEY GENERAL McREYNOLDS RECOMMENDS INCREASE IN ASSISTANTS SALARIES. Washington, D. C.—Attorney General McReynolds, in his annual report just submitted, recommends that the salaries of all assistant attorneys general be raised to $9,000. He also calls attention to the urgent need of a building for the department. A site has been purchased and plans prepared, but the construction of the building has not been authorized. Mr. McReynolds reviews at some length the status of cases under the anti-trust and interstate commerce laws and the prosecutions for land frauds, and tells of the vigorous enforcement of the provisions of the white slave traffic act. Washington, D. C.-That vivisection is practiced on human beings as well as animals in the hospitals and scientific institutions of New York city and other American cities was the startling claim made by delegates to the International Anti-Vivisection and Animal Protection Congress. Frank Stephens, one of the directors of the American Anti-Vivisection Society of Philadelphia, attacked the Rockefeller institute in New York city and said: "The Rockefeller institute in New York is a working model of hell."

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1913. "THE USE OF MONGREL OR HY. BRID WORDS." Speaking of The Gazette's recent protest, to the heads of our local public schools, against the use of Jones' Fourth Reader in which the words "darkies" occurs, the New York Amsterdam News, said, editorially, under the above headline, in its latest issue: "There is now in progress a controversy between the Colored citizens and the Board of Education of Cleveland, Ohio, about the use in the public schools of a text book containing the words "darky" and "darkies". These words in particular are contested in "Darkie", which was written by the late rebel leader, General John B. Gordon of Georgia. We are in hearty sympathy with those noble citizens and taxpayers of Cleveland, who would have such insulting mongrel words eliminated from all text books where they are flaunted in the faces of our children, and give them the respect and races. How a fair-minded Board of Education can tolerate such usage we are unable to understand. "The word "darky" is just as much an insult to the self-respecting, intelligent Colored person as is the word "dago" to the Italian, or "sheeny" to the Hebrew, or "mick" to the Irish. These words are slang, pure and simple, and can have no useful purpose in the vocabulary of any person. Their only tendency is toward race prejudice and a strict Slang is low, vulgar, unmeaning language, and should not be employed by anyone, especially when attempting to characterize or designate a class or race of people. To intelligent Colored people the use of the term and all such mongrel or hybrid words, is a flagrant and gross insult, and should always be treated as such. The word "darky" is not far removed from its original meaning, and is equal in disgusting baseness and are insidious causes of racial evils and discord. "Our children should no more be confronted with such words than Southern white children be confronted with the words "crackers" and "rough-necks." This they would readily respond as an insult to their intelligence, just as we are doing and must continue to do. The only sarc and salu-ment needed to adopt is to eliminate all such objectionable words wherever found, and especially in the text books of our public schools." Anent the same thing, the N. Y. Age had the following editorial in a recent issue: "SLANDERING NEGRO IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS." "Is the Negro to be slandered by the text books used in the public schools of this country? Is the white child to be taught that the color of his skin makes him superior to the Colored child? Is it the aim of our white educators to impress upon the minds of the Colored youth of today that he is forever destined to serve as a teacher, not a matter how much education, culture and character he may possess? These questions present themselves for serious consideration in view of what seems to be a modern tendency to misrepresent and insult the Negro in some of our public schools. "In a recent issue of The Cleveland Gazette the complaint was registered that in the Fourth Reader used in the Cleveland public schools the objectionable word "darkies" is used. The Cleveland Gazette published a letter in last week's issue, written by the secretary to the superintendent of schools, in which he assured the Colored citizens that no intentional insult to the race had been meant; that the article in which the word "darkies" appeared had been written by a Southerner. "Publishers of text-books and periodicals seem to labor under the impression that the Negro is callous to terms of derision and slanderous statements made concerning his people. "K. is noticed that pains are taken to see that the American youth today is not taught in the public schools that the Caucasian has been in bondage, and that the capacity of a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. Nor is there ever any such oversight in publishing textbooks in which the Irish, Jews, Italian and other races are referred to. "There was published in the daily papers last week a dispatch from the South in which it was reported that the students of a Southern college had gathered up the school histories written by a Yankee and used in their college, and that they made a bonfire of the books. The students, it seems, were very interested in Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis were traitors to the government. "Very, very sensitive are many of our white Americans, the Southern in particular, even when the truth is told. So if they express indignation and wax wroth over the truth, what should the Negro do, when the history or reader taught and used in the public schools maligns his race and sets him in a false and prejudicial light before the world? "The revision of text-books, in so far as relating to the Negro in history, is in order." Our local City Federation of Women's Clubs have joined The Gazette in its effort to have the obnoxious and insulting words eliminated from Jones' Fourth Reader, or the book's use in 'the local public schools discontinued. Our local Ministers' Alliance should become active, too—if indeed it has not, already. This applies to all of the 20,000 Afro-Americans in this city, especially those who are in a position to help. This is a matter that concerns us all, equally. It strikes at the very heart of every home because it harms most our chil-rien—even those of tender years! JOHN H. HARRIS McDOUGALD SENT NOTICE. The President and Mrs. Wilson Send Assistant District Attorney an Official Announcement. N. Y. City—Assistant District Attorney C. W. McDougal is the recipient of an announcement from the President and Mrs. Wilson of the marriage of their daughter, Miss Jessie Woodrow Whitman, and Bowery Sayre. The latter and Mr. McDougal were associated on the professional staff of District Attorney Charles S. Whitman for some time this year. The above is an excellent portrait of Mr. McDougal. LINCOLN AS AN ORATOR. Lord Curzon chancellor of Oxford, while delivering a lecture on "Parliamentary Eloquence," said that he would avoid deciding which was the masterpiece of modern British eloquence by awarding the prize to an American, Abraham Lincoln. A professor of Balliol college, Oxford, Eng., a few years ago pronounced Abraham Lincoln "the most wonderful product of the Anglo-Saxon race." From an Englishman that was tantamount to sore throat, he pleased to a American who have watched the figure of Abraham Lincoln grow until it towers among the mightiest of the earth. TWO ASSAILANTS. David R. Hirsch, on his way home at 12:20 o'clock this morning, was assailed by a negro on E. 49th St, near Central Ave. S. E. Hirsch grappled with his assailant and was getting the best of him when someone struck him on the head—Plain Dealer. Editor Plain Dealer—Sir: The inacceptance in the police jumps is the failure to announce that there was a white man as well as a Colored man. Mr. Hirsch was knocked senseless and did not grapple with either assailant. This he told about twenty of us at the corner of Central Ave. and E. 55th St., about midnight, a few minutes after he "came to," and was hunting a policeman. I directed him to a telephone. He was muddy, bloody and hatless. The statement that he was assassinated by Negro, he had not the whole truth, according to his own statement, a very short time after the affair took place. I send you this in response to your published request of last week, and as a matter of fairness to the Colored people of this community. HARRY C. SMITH. Cleveland Plain Dealer, D. 4-13.

CAN SUE THE CHURCH ESTATE. Mrs. Laura Church Napier, daughter of Col. Robert R. Church's "Wife of His Youth" Maude an Heir Memphis, Tenn.—Probate Judge J. S. Galloway rendered a decision, last week, which gave Laura Church Nupler, wife of Andrew Napler of Vancouver, B. C., standing in court as a daughter and a lawful heir of Col. R. James leaving an estate worth $1,500,000. Her mother contracted a slave marriage with Mr. Church in New Orleans. Two years later, he was brought here, causing a separation which, according to the Louisiana law at the time, constituted divorce. Later, he was addressed by Col. Church correspondence which passed between them was exhibited to the court. She went in the name of Laura Church, and was addressed by Col. Church as his "Dear Daughter." He contracted two subsequent marriages, of which four children were born and are now living, also remarried, and the remarriage, according to the law of slave marriage constituted a divorce. She has made no claim against his estate MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL Judge Galloway held that the Louisiana, nor laws subsequently enacted, could affect the Tennessee law of inheritance, and that Laura, born of the slave marriage, was a legitimate child and entitled to inherit as an heir at law. She is given the right to contest her father's will in which her name is listed. Judge Galloway, the Tennessee judge ought to be gratifying to many of our people, for it permits many to trace their ancestry back for two or more generations with some sense of pride. Like the Tennessee judge, we believe that such marriages are legal and that the children born to such parents are as legitimate as any who marched down the church aisles, or wedded any where else, by the present laws and we are not required to marry down by Judge Galloway, Mrs Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C. is Col. Church's eldest child by his second wife—the one following Mrs. L. C. Napier's mother. Seattle, Wash. —Within a generation the Negro in the South will be the superior, both mentally and physically, of the white, unless there is a radical change on the part of the South in handling the child labor problem," said Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, recently, upon his arrival to attend the convention of the ACA of here. "White children," said Gompers, "are becoming degenerates through work in the cotton mills. The Negro children, because of their ability to live on less, grow up in the outside air and attend school more regularly."

DOINGS OF THE RACE Quite 30,000 more black troops will be added to the French African army, bringing the number of "soldats indigenes" (native troops) to 200,000. Their own music has been adapted to the drum and bugle, and many black or Arab regiments have their own band marches. Mr. Thomas Downing, for 50 years a clerk in the foreign department at the Boston postoffice, died last week. He was the son of George T. Downing He was Charles W. who was with Charles Summer when he was with a friend of William Lloyd Garrison. Mr. Downing was 67 years of age, and is survived by a wife. Speaking of "rag-time" music, H. E. Krebshiel, an author on folk-songs, Afro-American and others, and also music critic of the New York Tribune, said, recently, in that paper: "The rhythmical snap of the American Negroes is in all likelihood an aboriginal form." He was also powerful a hold on them that they carried it over into their new environment just as they did the melod- gated. It was so powerful an impulse, indeed, that it broke down the peculiarities which I have investi- barriers interposed by the new language which they were compelled to adopt in their new home." If the Negro isn't efficient, it is largely chargeable to his environ- ment, his treatment. We dare say that if they were given the considera- tion these foreigners will demand and receive, he would become the most valuable laboring asset of which any quarter of the Union may boast. A society for reforming the methods of working the Negro might be created. South and continue the issue of immi- gration as dependent upon the quality and desirability of the applicant.—Chattanooga (Tenn.) Daily Times. Chief Albert Sam of the Akim tribe, Ashante, W.

Each tribe has offered free 64 acres of their land and the unoccu- pied farm land to such settlers. Attorney W. W. Johnson of Chicago, who was the guest of Professor and Mrs. J. H. Damerson of Indianapolis, on Thanksgiving, was reported by the Chicago Defender as having been married to a Jewish woman there. The report is not true. At an early date he will take unto himself a "chocolate cookie" for Thanksgiving and retirement. He states that the engagement will be announced later.—Defender. It may not know it, but just the same the Chicago Defender is slowly working up a reputation for unreliability in news matters that is going to injure it in the near future. The Curry Institute, Urbana, has received a $200 piece of real estate from the Jewish House, a place of the race, of Westerville. The rent from it will go toward a scholarship bearing her name. John Wesley Moore, sixteen, of Cedarville, Greene county, Ohio's only Afro-American corn champion, was forced to leave the Metropolitan hotel, last week Wednesday because the color line was drawn on him. Consequently, he was out last year, and won the Washington, D. C. trip this year, with ninety-eight bushels of corn. He is an orphan. The white "corn boys" obtained a pleasant place for him to stop and took pains to see he had a good time; and he did. Good! for the Ohio "corn boys." On Saturday evening at the annual meeting of the St. George's Club the members, in recognition of his twenty years' service among them, presented Harry T.

County Treasurer O'Brien says he will defer turning over $16,000 collected as taxes for the relief of blind persons in Cuyahoga county until he learns whether the new relief law under which the funds are collected is valid. While the new law increases the pensions paid to the blind, the Legislature made no provision for appropriations. It is probable that a friendly suit will be filed in a few days to test the new law. Mr. W. Tilton delivered a very convincing business-lecture at the C. M. E. church, last Friday evening, to some of the best-thinking people of Cleveland. His subject was: "Why Negroes do not succeed in business like other races". According to the speaker, the chief cause was the under-valuation they place upon themselves and their lack of love and respect for their own race. Mrs. M. Barney and B. J. Strider. Dr. Chas. Bundy will leave immediately after Sunday morning's services, for Wilberforce, to attend a trustee board meeting. He has started a parsonage fund campaign, dividing the church into two clubs—the "Peerless" and "Watch-us-Grow", and is asking for $1,000 by May. A little rivalry between the clubs ought to net $2500. A Christmas x32 reception, the 26th, from 4 to 10 p.m. at Mrs. J. Hicks' 2164 E 74th St. and Tuskegee University's Watch-us-Grow" club.

SHAME! --- Crowded houses were the order of each performance at the New Ogden theater, all last week, and nearly the same condition obtained, this week. The vaudeville attractions like the pictures are really fine, and must be seen to be fully appreciated. Sunny days are best for body pictures, illustrating "Pilgrim's Progress" will be exhibited at the New Ogden. They surpass anything of the kind yet shown in any theater in that vicinity. Do not miss seeing them! Next week's vaudeville program speaks for itself—the finest "on the road." Only clean, wholesome and dour pictures and vaudeville shows ttl.

S. class met Nov. 26 at its vice-president, Mrs. Roy Putnam. Roll-call was responded with quotations from the Bible. The program, prepared by Mrs. Lenora Clinton, was well rendered. An interesting feature of it was a brief address by Mrs. Mary for successful spiritual preparation for successful women. A beautiful vocal duett was sung by Miss E. Toles and Mrs. E. Conyers with Miss Mattle Biggs accompanist. "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Mrs. Ruth Swepson, was well rendered. Mrs. Walter McAIBster gave several excellent readings. Mrs. Ina Perkins was elected president by an almost unanimous vote. Those present were Mdesamas Adams, Blount, Biggs, Clary, Clinton, Gail, Allister, Perkins, Sayles, Swepson Turpin and Toles.

The organization engaged to assist three very worthy young women, Misses Ollie Wells, Ethel Moss and Valeria Crawford, in pursuing their musical and other studies. Ten dollars was donated to St. Vincent ("Charity") Hospital, Mrs. Blanche Glimere and Mrs. Harriet Fairfax were appointed a committee to meet F. M. H. Frederick, supervise the training of the patient, press the federation's disapproval of the use of Jones' Fourth Reader, in the school on account of words occurring in a lesson, which are obnoxious and insisting to our race. The secretary was instructed to write to President Woodrow Wilson, protesting against the segregation of our federal employees at Washington, D.C. A petition was forwarded to the cover of the president's official commutation of the sentence of Mrs. Bessie Wakefield. The next regular meeting will occur Feb. 19, 1914, at Mrs. James Tilley', E. 43d St., and an open meeting, Jan. 8, will be announced later. Mrs. Sarah Mitchell Bailey, secretary. Rev. Daniel Crawford, African missionary, author of "Thinking Black," who spoke last week Thursday night at the Gospel church, Cedar Ave. S. E. and E. 74th St., said, among many other interesting things: "The Negro in his native land is a thorough gentleman. He is tender, kind and considerate to all. Reared in savagery, as opposed to civilization as we know it, he knows no artifices of mere politeness and if he wore clothes it might be said that he wears his heart upon his sleeve for all to see. He is a man of heart at heart, and the true gentleman." Rev. Dr. Crawford is an Englishman by birth, is about 50, with blue eyes, gray hair and beard. Commenting on the progress of Africa since the advent of missionaries, he said no one in any part of the world appeared to realize the immensity of the continent and the consequent size of the task which the missionaries from England and America had undertaken. He told how they have almost stamped out tribal wars, which, he said, were responsible for the lack of progress in the war in Washington, D. C., Dr. Crawford was entertained at the White House. He left Cleveland last night for Detroit. FOUND AT LAST. Golderene, the New Discovery, Said to Grow, straighten and Beautify the Hair in a Short Time. The Golderene Manufacturing Company of Plainfield, N.J., is said to have recently discovered the greatest hair grower known to medical science. The new discovery is called Golderene and is especially adapted to Colored people's scals. Golderene will grow and be seen in the most subborn and kinkiest kind of hair. For both men and woman who possess a healthy head of good hair, Golderene is said to be superior to any other preparations as a hair dressing; it makes the hair fairly glisten—after the first application. Golderene contains the one ingredient known to medical science as a perfect hair grower and straightener. Golderene is highly recommended to eliminate the hair in even cases of complete baldness. If your hair is turning gray, try it and see if it will not make the pigment-forming cells active enough to completely restore the natural color. Golderene is not sold at drug stores, but is sent direct to you by mail upon receipt of price, fifty cents, by the Golderene Manufacturing Company, of 330-332-334 Liberty St., Plainfield, N. J.-Adv. 2t. Technical Defense. The following conversation was recently overheard, if we are to believe the man who tells it, upon the stairs of the Berlin elevated. It could never have taken place in New York, naturally. There would not have been time. The parties to it were a gentleman and a lady. She began it: "What impudence!" "Are you talking about me?" "I am. Just you. You jabbed me with your umbrella." "Absurd. I did not jab you with my umbrella." "But you did. Exactly that. Jabbed me with your umbrella. Don't you know, you brute, that civilized people don't carry umbrellas sticking out like that from under their arms?" "I tell you, once more, I never did it. I did not jab you with my umbrella." "More insolence! Yet you've still got the thing tucked under your arm and sticking out. I suppose you'll be jabbing me with your umbrella again in a minute." "But it isn't my umbrella. It's a borrowed one."—New York Evening Post. When You Dine With King George. Dinner at Buckingham palace is never later than eight. King George, unlike King Edward, plays the part of listener rather than talker at the dinner table. The rule that no guest touch on a subject of talk that had not been first introduced by the royal host and hostess is now out of date. At a private dinner party the king and queen are addressed as "sir" and "ma'am," and never as "your maiden." A rather curious rule that concerns the serving of wines which are not deceived is observed at the king's dinner table. The name of the grower or shipper of the wine is always removed from the bottle before it is taken into the royal dining-room. The reason of it is to avoid giving the grower or shipper the big advertisement of his wines appearing on the king's dinner table. It dates to the reign of George III. No Time for Haste The heroic freman with the fainting woman in his arms, stood at a seventeenth-story window of the burning building. Flames were bursting from the windows above and below and dense clouds of smoke were swirling around the man and his unconscious burden. In another minute it might be impossible for him to reach the iron fire escape, yet he stood there waiting with the woman in his arms. One man, more excitable than the others, shouted: "Come on down, you idiot! What are you standin' there for? Can't you see that escape will be cut off in another minute?" "Keep quiet," commanded an officer. "He don't start down till they begin on the second reel." St. Peter's Cathedral St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome was begun in 1506 and completed in 1626. The plan is a Latin cross 614½ by 446½ feet with rounded apse and transepts and vestibule. The height of the nave is 152½ feet, its width 87½ feet. The interior diameter of the dome is 139½ feet, its height to the top of the cross 448 feet. The pedimented dome, resting on its four enormous pliers, is one of the most magnificent achievements in architecture. What More Could One Want? Finest and viewfulest place.

Smallest Plumbing Bill on Record. A Wichita man has a received plumber's bill which he thinks ought to occupy a glass case in the Historical society. The Wichita man hired a plumber to fix a leak in his kitchen. He expected to get a bill for about five or six dollars. Much to his surprise, he received a bill for 55 cents—five cents for material and 50 cents for the work. Advice for the Girls After an examination at a training college for women teachers at Arnsberg, Prussia, the examiner, addressing the fifty-six girl candidates, said: "You have all done well and passed the examination.

Andrew Hatchett 2031 East 100th Street Phone, Princeton 2306-W Character In the Face. Character in the face. A great deal of a woman's character is reflected in her face. Those who have studied physiognomy can tell, almost at a glance, a woman's disposition, her talents and occupation. Eyes that are not afraid to meet yours speak for the honesty of their owner. A strong mouth shows a firm character. Expression tells its own tale in regard to the thoughts which are passing through the mind. It is true that appearances are deceitful sometimes, but sooner or later habits and temperament are bound to leave their mark upon the face. Best He Had Tasted. Mark Twain was playing golf on a well known English course. In trying to make a very long brassie shot, Twain tore up considerable turf and a chunk of dirt hit him squarely in the face. The Englishman he was playing with, seeking to relieve the embarrassment of his guest, remarked: "By the way, Mr. Twain, how do you like our course?" "Fine," said Twain. "I think it is the best I have ever tasted."—From "Golf Yarns," by H. B. Martin. Oldest Epigram. An epigram must pass through many hands and get much polishing before it is a perfect jewel. You may remember how Oscar Wilde sent (on the stage) the man of the world through the drawing room door with the epigram. "There is one thing I never could resist; that is temptation." But you may trace it from the Garden of Eden, where the masculine plea for mercy was that the "woman tempted me." Comparatively Simple. A clergyman whose patriotism exceeded his powers of oratory was speaking upon his favorite subject. At last he felt that something great was required of him. He worked himself up to a climax. "Patriotism," he exclaimed, "is the backbone of the British empire, and what we have to do is to train backbone and bring it to the front." Feminine Limitations There are few women that equal the greatest men in the field of art. Women have a genius for mothering. But they seldom carry over the greatness of their motherhood into the field of art. They have not been interested—have not thrown their whole natures into artistic forms of expression.—Maud Powell.

CHAMP CLARK'S PROTEGES ARE LEGION FINDS CLUB LIFE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION When Henry C. Frick, the steel multi-millionaire, was reported to have Frick, the steel as reported to have handed a check for $2,000,000 to Miss Frances Schoemaker Dixon on the other day, in Baltimore, as his wedding gift to the bride of his son, Childs Fricke he did a great service or a great unkindness to the young bride. MARGARET Will this hand some personal fortune suddenly thrust upon her turn out to be for her own real good, or will this charming, unaffected, simple, home-loving, serious-minded young woman be "spoiled" and turned into a frivolous, worldly society butterfly? These are the questions being discussed in Baltimore and New York society and among young Mrs. Frick's school friends, who are devoted to her and who sincerely hope that she will use her money as an increased power for good. Mr. Frederick Townsend Martin, in writing recently of the frenzied treadmill of fashionable society, and after cataloguing the endless whirl of social duties and frivolities of the rich woman of fashion, says with earnestness: General Blanquet, who was recently referred to as the "power behind 1. who was recentent "power behind the throne" in the Huerta administration, has long been prominent in the affairs of Mexico. M. Blanquet is a soldier who has come up from the ranks. He was a sergeant at seventeen and is a stern disciplinarian. It was Blanquet who with his own pistol administered the coup de grace to the Emperor Maximilian, when that ill-fated representative of European powers essayed the impossible task of uniting the discordant parties and governing the country as a monarchy. General Blanquet commanded the firing squad that was told off to execute Maximilian and two other political prisoners. Then, as now, Blanquet was a soldier who obeyed orders to the letter. He was directed to execute, and he executed. Mrs. Champ Clark is most charitable women ark is one of the omen in Washington in a quiet way. She does good by stealth to sighthouse to find it. 1 The down-and out appeal to the kindly heart of the wife of the speaker of the house by scores and hundreds. If she has any political pull accruing from her position she never puts it to account. her whole lifetime did she ever try her hand at any "shenanygin" in order to get a friend a job. "That was long, long ago," said Mrs. Clark, "when Champ was just a There is in Boston a woman's club in which 15 professions are represent ions are represented. Enrolled are lawyers, doctors, surgeons, actresses, singers, instrumentalists, artists, sculptors, dentists, pharmacists, supervisors of schools, architects, trained nurses (who have college degrees and hospital diplomas), poets, lecturers, composers, platform entertainers, playwrights and journeymen. And the women of these professions claim that their club lawyers, doctors, surgeons, actresses, singers, instrumentallists, artists, sculptors, dentists, pharmacists, supervisors of schools, architects, trained nurses (who have college degrees and hospital diplomas), poets, lecturers, composers, platform entertainers, playwrights and journalists. And the women of these professions claim that their club ambiations bind them more closely to their homes and to their work in the outside world. They go even further and say: "There should be clubs of professional women in every large city." Marie B. Currler, president of the club, who before her marriage was a well-known actress, said recently: "I believe more and more that the active woman's club is instrumental to making a home sweeter and hap- That Other Life. There is no break in a life. Though our worthy ambitions may never be realized here, we may hearten ourselves with the word that Dean Bosworth once sent to a young man whose career threatened to end at the very opening of his life-work "Be sure," he wrote, "that some place, somewhere, you shall have an opportunity to realize the highest ambitions of your soul." If we continue to do our work well we shall be able at the close of the day, in Drummond's phrase, "to put by the "At what time does a woman find time to read in such a treadmill? This frenized social parade is made up largely, of people who talk well on trilies and look profound over sophistry and humbug. "If men and women have no time to read, then they are unacquainted with the great questions of the day; if they are merely smatterers in aesthetes, what sort of a conversation will they provide at a dinner table? Well, the inevitable will happen, of course—they will talk treadmill. "The social treadmill is responsible for any dullness we have. It accounts for the strange phenomenon of a leisure class with nothing on earth to do, getting nervous prostration doing nothing." It will be an extremely interesting matter to watch the development of the charming young bride of the son of the steel multif-millionaire, and see whether she will, as her friends hope, develop along the lines of serious-minded purpose, using her money and her position for good. If so, then the $2,000,000 wedding gift which it in reported she received from her father-in-law will be used wisely and will increase young Mrs. Frick's opportunities for doing good. But if this money turns her head and she enters the social treadmill, then her life will become about what Mr. Frederick Townsend Martin has so graphically pictured. Young Mrs. Frick's life up to the present time has been in the nature of a favorable augury for the future. The mention of the Emperor Maximilian recalls all the last century romance that surrounds that romantic figure, who was selected by Napoleon III. to rule Mexico. It was in 1864. The United States was torn by a great Civil war, and was distracted from interfering with foreign invasion of the neighboring country. Maximilian, an Austrian prince, selected in 163 to carry out the designs of the Assembly of Notables of France, was the younger brother of Francis Joseph. He accepted the charge and in 1864 he marched into Mexico, at the head of French troops. His troubles began with a proclamation in 1865, intended to suppress brigandage, but which was employed by imperialists ruthlessly to slay liberals. This started an insurrection. Simultaneously the affairs of Napoleon III were so bad at home that he had to recall French troops from Maximilian's support and the latter's downfall and arrest followed. In 1867 he was shot to death together with two of his generals. General Blanquet was the military genius of the late President Madero and it was he, too, who arrested Madero last February when the Mexican capital was undergoing the throes of bloody revolt. common, ordinary member of the house. Out home in Missouri, I thought Bill Jones needed a post-office and I tried to get one for him." "And did you succeed?" "No," said Mrs. Clark, with the quaint chuckle that is peculiar to her, "nobody paid the least attention to my request. Bill never got the postoffice." But the distinguished lady's proteges are legion. When a worthy case for help comes to her attention she never relaxes her efforts until the subject is relieved. She never turns a deaf ear to an appeal for aid, and her hours are as full to overflowing as those of the president. She is kind to interviewers and she is charitably tolerant to the hordes of freakish folk who intrude upon her time to make her the subject of psychological examination, or to get confidential views on the nebular hypothesis, or the authentic way of making cornmeal "batter bread," Missouri style. plier; it has been my experience that the woman who has an outside interest—an, interest, for instance, that takes her away from her home once a week—is the woman that will sit down to dinner with less-langled nerves than if she had been tied to the household cares for seven days." "How do you reconcile the professional woman, her home and her club?" was asked. "Very easily, indeed. I believe that, when all is said, the professional woman is an ideal home maker; she brings to it the experience of her profession; she brings to it the patience that her profession requires; as a mother she has her profession as a restful avocation; as a wife she finds all the more joy in her home, because she is a professional woman." Accidentally Vaccinated. Accidental vaccination occurred to a Liverpool (England) physician, not many days ago. The medical practitioner, while vaccinating a baby, had the misfortune to break the glass tube containing the vaccine, with the result that he received an incision on the forefinger of his left hand. Imagine his surprise and dismay when the next morning, irritation of that digit painfully brought him the realization that he had unwittingly vaccinated himself. well-worn tools without a sigh, and go out expecting elsewhere better work to do."—Exchange.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1913 SPORTS AMATEUR JAP BILLIARDIST PRESENT ST COPY W Both in Millinery and Is a Reversion Flirty New York bowlers cross the water to compete in the 1914 German tournament. SWIMMING Bud Goodwin of the New York A. C. has been competing in swimming races for 17 years. He is going well, and may break his own mile record of 25:36 2.5, established a year ago. European tennis stars are now observing the amateur rule which was originally passed to handicap America and which American players rejected. As a result there has been a decided strr in Continental tennis. 1 2 Melbourne Inman, champion of English billiards, and William F. Hoppe world's champion at balk line billiards, have signed an agreement to play three matches each of one week's duration. The games will be staged in New York, Chicago and a Canadian city. FOOTBALL Harry Williams has a contract to coach football at the University of Minnesota that runs for two years. * * * Pogue, of the Illinois university eleven, is ranked as one of the greatest quarterbacks of the year in the west. The receipts for the Minnesota-Chicago football game were announced as $32,274—just $1,000 in excess of the previous high mark. The attendance was in excess of 20,000. John Lewis, twenty years old, a senior in the Cambridge (Mass.) high school, died from injuries received in a football game played November 8 between Cambridge and Martin's Ferry high schools. Lewis's death was due to concussion of the brain. He played left end on the Cambridge team. Just to show how difficult it is to distinguish football players in action "Poch" Donovan, the Harvard trainer, was unable to pick out his own men in a recent game at Cambridge. As most of the injuries in football are due to professional games, it is moved and seconded a game be played between elevenes composed of wrestlers. Among other things, the all-star selection for football officials comprises Fleager, Northwestern, referee; Wrenn, Harvard, umpire; Porter, Cornell, linesman. Inasmuch as football is being crushed again by a number of "experts," it is respectfully suggested that they eliminate points for field goals as well as for goals from touchdown. It is said "big nine" coaches intend to revise their football schedules in 1914, but there is no truth to the report that Notre Dame is to get games with Minnesota, Chicago and Michigan. BASEBALL Charley Doool of the Phillies says that the conceited players become the biggest stars. St. Louis admits that Rickey and Huggins are the greatest managers in the world from October 14 till April 13. George Stallings, leader of the Boston Braves, is considered to be one of the best judges of young ball players in the country. President Hermann of Cincinnati wants the world's series abolished. He needn't worry. It's all over as far as Cincinnati is concerned. Manager Clark Griffith of the Nationals has a novel scheme. Clark would give prizes to the teams finishing close up in the major league races. Federal leaguers say they have signed Helnie Zimmerman, but said they would not go after major league stars. Would Zim stick after this insult? During the 1913 season Frank Chance tried out ten men at first, seven at second, eight at short, nine in center field and about a half dozen in right and left fields. Buffalo exchange declares "all that Manager Clymer needs now is a catcher, two winning pitchers, two hard-hitting outfielders and another good infielder." Outside of all that Buffalo seems to have a pretty fair ball club. Gaffney spikes the Marquard-Tyler story by saying that he does not believe Stallina would have Marquard as a gift and that as far as George Tyler is concerned, Boston expects to make him the greatest left-hander in the same. --- 围 Ikujiro Tamura. A skilled manipulator of the cue in the person of Ikujiro Tamura has recently arrived in this country from Japan to meet any or all of the high class American amateur billiardists. Tamura is said to be a better player than Koji Yamada, who had little trouble in holding his own in the international matches in this country last winter. About ninety pacers stepped into the 2:10 list this year. Mr. Billings has 13 trotters in his stable for saddle horses. Peter the Great leads the sires of money winners down the big line this year. Branham Baughman, 2:04% an honest pacer, went through the season without winning a race. Peter the Great, McKinney, Bellini and Todd are the only stallions that have sired more than ten 2:10 performers. The fast pacer Pickles, 2:03% likes the speedway game first class and is doing all that was expected of her in New York. Frank Bogash, Jr., having won $24.25 this year ranks second among all harness horses. Etawah being first and Tenara third. The Cox stable heads the list of money winners with $85,000. Murphy being next with $77,000 and Geers third with $55,000. PUGILISM Gunboat Smith of California was given the decision over Sam Langford of Boston at the end of a 12 round bout. Mike Gibbons of St. Paul defeated Marty Rowan of Brooklyn in the second round of what was to have been a ten-round bout in Brooklyn. Governor Ferris has resumed his war on the boxing game in Michigan and will take particular pains to prevent Chicago fighters coming into the state for exhibitions. Joe Borrell, the Kensington middleweight, knocked out Ben Koch, the middleweight champion of the navy, in the fourth round of their bout at Philadelphia. Johny McCarthy of California and Wildcat Ferns of Kansas City, went 15 rounds to a draw at Denver. Jimmy Duffy of Lockport, N. Y., won by a big margin over Willie Beecher of New York in their ten-round bout at Syracuse. Tom O'Rourke, who brought out George Dixon, says that he has the next middleweight champion under his management in George Asbe. This is at least open to discussion. One insination over the re-entry of Mr. Mike Gibbons of St. Paul into the welter class is that he found the climate too tough up in the region of middleweights. Colgate university's cross country team defeated Lafayette college, 20 to 25. Cornell won the annual cross country race with Pennsylvania by a score 20 to 34. Elmer Hoffman, a roller skater from Milwaukee, made a mile in 3:15 in a race at Racine. New York proposes to pass a city ordinance prohibiting all advance sales for amusement enterprises in order to obviate the ticket speculation evil. The University of California is to have a new cinder track.

PARIS—In Paris there is a distinct tendency toward reviving the styles which were in vogue when Watteau painted beautiful women. One finds this tendency in connection with millinery as well as dress. The leading Parisian milliners are showing models which are distinctly Watteau—small, very coquettish, and intended to be worn very much on the side of the head; in fact, so much on one side that it seems as though they must fall off. One of the prettiest actresses in Paris recently made a sensation on the stage by appearing with her beautiful hair swept off her forehead and with a little Watteau hat perched on one side of her head. The hat was made of dark blue velvet and trimmed at the upturned side with two high very narrow wings. The effect was startling. One side of the forehead was absolutely bare—not a curl to break its outline. It seemed like the forehead of a Botticell model. At first every one was inclined to smile, but little by little the charm worked. Before the evening came to an end a great many fashionable women had reached the conclusion that the exaggerated Watteau type was full of distinction. But even outside this Watteau craze it becomes more and more the fashion to wear the new velvet hats with turned up brims very much on the side of the head. In the accompanying sketch there is no real exaggeration; the model represented might be worn by a woman of the most refined taste, but the change of outline is cleverly indicated. Six months ago every woman of fashion was wearing her hat jammed down on her head, forehead and hair being almost entirely hidden. We are rapidly getting away from that style, though it is still in favor with the majority. For Ordinary Wear For Ordinary Wear. Some of the new evening dresses for girls are distinctly Greuze in outline. There are the dainty flounces of filmy lace and pannlers of flowered silk, the latter being confined at the waist by a shaped sash which molds the figure. An exquisite model recently created by Premet had a short flounced skirt composed of beautiful old lace and quaint pannlers of Louis XV. broche silk. These pannlers were gathered at the waist and skillfully draped over the hips; in front they ran up into a point, and the waist was circled by a shaped corselet, also made of broche silk. Over the shoulders there was a delicate little litchi of lace and the short sleeves were finished with frills of the same material. It really looked like a fancy dress ball costume, but it was intended for ordinary evening wear. Premet is always in the first row where affairs of fashion are concerned. When a new style is launched by this firm it is worth while to pay attention. Some of the best Parisian dressmakers are introducing a curious combination of panniers and tunics, the panniers being rather flat and the tunics distinctly Persian in outline, I have seen this style exploited with considerable success. For instance, a dinner gown of orange colored charmeuse which had a narrow pointed train. On the draped fronts of this skirt there were some fine Japanese embroideries, and the short, rather flat panniers were carried out in dull blue chiffon of the exact shade of the most prominent designs on the skirt. Then there was a Persian tunic of diamante tulle, fringed with crystal and a folded corsage of oyster white tulle mounted over flesh-pink chiffon. There were diamond shoulder straps and a broad sash of black crepe de chine embroidered in cut jet and finished off with jet fringes. At the waist, directly in front, there was one of the new conventional flowers which are made of velvet or plush. In this case the flower was in velvet of the deepest shade of blue, and for a heart it had a huge diamond but Exaggeratedly High Hair. The very latest style of hairdressing is exaggeratedly high. This change has been indicated in several recent sketches, but in Paris they are rapidly approaching extraordinarily exaggerated styles. I have already seen on the Parisian stage headdresses which were almost as extraordinary in outline as those favored by Marie Antoinette. The hair was drawn up from the forehead and puffed out over immense cone-shaped trifettes. In outline some of these headdresses closely resembled the big fur helmets worn by the English guards. They were curious; almost comical, and yet in individual cases attractive. With this style of hairdressing the correct thing is to leave the forehead almost bare. Not quite bare, as in the case of the semi-Botticelli style, but bare on the temples, with a heavy curl falling in the center and curls at either ear. I think the average Amer- The Christian Associations. A recent campaign of the Young Men's Christian association and the Yong Women's Christian association has served to show the tremendous backing behind those organizations both in numbers interested and in wealth accessible. The two associations have undertaken to obtain in New York city, in the two weeks beginning November 10, $4,000,000 for new buildings. One reason that the work of these associations has so strong a hold on the loyality of so lean woman will find this style becoming it; it recalls certain Dana Gibson heads, only that the hair at the back is much higher and fuller. Gaby 'Deslys' Influence. Although Gaby Deslys is a daring little personage who deliberately goes in for wearing startling fashions, her example has had a certain effect on the world of fashion in Paris. She has, in truth, made feather evening headaddress fashionable again. Last spring every one was wearing tall mounts, standing erect from the forehead, in the evening; then, during the summer season this style was voted bad form. Now, however, it is again the fashion to wear very high, thin mounts standing erect above the forehead in the evening. These mounts are generally attached to a jeweled band or invisibly held in place with the aid of strong hairpins. They present a very imposing appearance and tend to make their wearer look unusually tall, which at the present moment is an important thing, as all the newest fashions have been created for women of five feet eight inches and upward. Some of the prettiest of these high mounts are arranged in graceful curves which wave back slightly over the hair at the back. In metallic feathers they are charming and also in the new make of horse hair which imitates almost perfectly the fine ospreys which used to be so fashionable. It is certainly true that the example of humane American women has influenced the whole of Europe. Now that there is no demand for real algrets or osprey, the managers of the big department stores are obliged to lay in an immense stock of beautifully made mounts, which bear no real relationship to harmless birds. This is a step in the right direction and it is one of which America may well be proud. For the Afternoon. For afternoon wear one of the newest and most successful materials is "drap de neige." This lovely cloth is, as its name suggest, pure white. In texture it resembles duvetyn, but it is even softer and more slurple than this famous material. Drap de neige is being largely used by one of the most exclusive tailors in Paris. He is A A Beautiful Millinery Model. One of the most beautiful of the new velvet Trumpet 911, Glycerin Mounts.

The latter combination is wonderfully effective, for this fox is lemon yellow in color and the linings of coats and wraps are made to match. There is no more satisfying combination of color than lemon yellow and ivory, or oyster white. With a clever touch of some deep vivid color in the hat a perfect ensemble is obtained. Another new material is velvet chiffon. This stuff is heavier than mousseLINE de velvours and very much more durable. It is being made in all the rich shades of claret and red, which are now so fashionable, and in the purple known as "violet de mousseigneur," it is rarely lovely. I have seen a lovely model, for afternoon wear, made in this material. The color was deep emerald and the Persian tunic was bordered with skunk. The folded corzae was richly embroidered in bright colored silks intermingled with gold threads and there was a swathed sash of invisible blue chameuse. Dark blue buttons rimmed in paste appeared on the fronts of the corsage.—C. C. Jointed-Head Hair Pens. The newest thing in hair decoration is the pin with the jointed head. It is a big shell pin, of the sort worn in pairs—or in greater numbers—and the ends or tops are studded with rhinestones. They are defly arranged on hinges so that they may be turned at any angle to the prongs of the pin. Hence, if the knot or strand into which they are to be thrust is only an inch deep they can be thrust in lengthwise and the head of the pin can be turned at right angles to the prongs in such a way that its full beauty will show against the hair. There are other fancy pins with curved prongs or shanks, so that they can be pushed into a curving strand of hair in such a way that they are comfortable and secure. It is often difficult to place a straight pin comfortably over a curved part of the head. many people is that it is closely connected with the actual material welfare of the poor. This is true not only of citizens, but of new arrivals.—Harper's Weekly. Handicapping Hubby. "His wife is a business woman, all right." "What makes you say that?"

STATE The biggest herd of seahorses the New York aquarium has ever had is now on exhibition there, 288 in number, and including many specimens six inches or more in length. These seahorses were assembled from Sayville, L. I., Gravesend bay and Belford, N. J. The largest specimens came from Sayville. They are in two tanks on the gallery tier, salt water side. In nature the seahorse feeds on many minute forms of marine animal life. It eats just hatched out fishes an eight of an inch in length, the eggs from the shrimp and various very small marine worms. In captivity it thrives best on a tiny shrimp-like crustacean known as gammarus, which is found on some forms of vegetation in the brackish waters at the head of salt creeks or in the pools of salt marshes that are overflowed by the tides. They could not be gathered separately, the vegetation with the gammarus clinging to it is brought to the aquarium, where the little crustaceans are separated from it. Education in India. Free compulsory education for the masses of India, a recent official report says, is not practical for decisive reasons, financial and administrative, but the government hopes to add 91,000 primary schools in the near future, and to double the number of pupils, now amounting to 4,500,000, while free education is to be extended to those who cannot afford fees. A great effort is to be made to improve the education of girls in practical directions, untrammeled by the domination of examinations, special attention being paid to hygiene.
