Splendors of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition Revealed by Its Present Progress. Event Marked the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Ownership and Management of the institution by the A. M. E. Church — Girls' Dormitory Named For One of School's Liberal Donors. Wilberforce, O.—Founders' day exercises at Wilberforce university the last week in February marked the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the ownership and management of the institution by the African Methodist Episcopal church. It was an event which will long be remembered by the faculty and students. SUPERB WORKS OF SCULPTURE AND ART IN COLOSSAL EXHIBIT PALACES FOR AMERICA'S PANAMA CANAL CELEBRATION. GLINTS of gold from vast oriental domes, Venetian blue on minarets, prodigious works of sculpture and the arrival of notables from all parts of the globe give glimpses of the great Panama-Pacific International Exposition as it will, appear when its gates swing open to the world. on Feb. 20, 1915 Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., of Chicago, chairman of the university trustee board and presiding bishop of the third episcopal district, in which the institution is located, was one of the Not for many years will the world be enabled to enjoy so marvelous a collection of the works of contemporary sculptors. The World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago first proved that the greatest talent might be engaged to produce work of even temporary value. Since then more and more attention has been given at each succeeding exposition to sculpture as a form of decoration, and the great Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco promises to surpass even Chicago's exquisite display. A. H. H. Every phase of the exposition is far advanced. Thirty-three of the world's nations will participate with government displays. Argentina leading with a government appropriation of $1,300,000 gold. PRESIDENT SCARBOROUGH. leading spirits in the celebration. He presided and in the opening made an able address on higher education. Addresses were also made by Professor H. E. Archer of Selma, Ala., president of Payne university; Bishop Joshun A. Jones, Dr. Thomas H. Jackson. Bishop B. F. Lee, Miss Halle H. Brown, Charles Stewart. Secretary Horace Talbert and Professor W. S. Scarborough. Bishops H. M. Turner and Evans Tyre were unable to be present. Bishop Shaffer in his opening address told of the establishment of the university, the purchase of the property by Bishop Payne from the Cincinnati conference of the Methodist Episcopal church and how a Mrs. Shorter had given the first $100, Bishop Payne having only faith. He also told about the work, how the school had grown year after year and of its bright future. AIRSHIPS WILL RACE AROUND THE GLOBE FROM SAN FRANCISCO IN 1915. AERONAUTS from all the civilized nations of the globe with every standard type of air craft driven by motors will participate in an aerial race around the world, which will be a feature of the sporting events to be held during the Panama-Pacific Interna- The address of Dr. Thomas H. Jackson was interesting for two reasons—first, because Dr. Jackson was a member of the first graduating class of the university in 1870 and is now connected with the Payne Theological seminary, and, second, because he had been a professor in the college many years ago. Secretary Horace Talbert furnished figures in his address, showing the collections for fifty years, and presented property owned by the institution to the value of $1,427,110.17. The collections were: From 1863 to 1876, $92,784.12; to 1884, $79,202.80; to 1895, $92,123.56; to 1895, $144,303.88; to 1910, $106,352.59; to January, 1914, $84,214.29. The race will start from the grounds of the Exposition in May, 1915, and will end there. Three hundred thousand dollars has been hung up in prizes for this suspendous world girdling contest. A number of the world's greatest aviators have signified their intention of entering the races. The recent flight of Stoeffler, ending at Muhlausen, Germany, in which he covered 1,375 miles, convains aviators that long flights are a matter of adequate supply stations. The above photograph shows the route around the world and the various supply stations. 88 Private gifts of sums of money to various interests of the school ranging from $1 to $1,000 were not reported in this amount collected. The dedication of the Emery hall dormitory for girls was also a feature of the celebration, and to President W. S. Scarborough belongs the credit for one of the finest and one of the best buildings on the campus. It has been erected under his administration as president. Professor Scarborough ranks with the great scholars of the age and is a member of a number of the leading societies of the country and is also recognized by men of intellectual worth and scholarship in Europe. In this line he has been very successful in helping his race and church. It was through this connection that he was able to raise the necessary amount to erect the building after he had secured a promise from Mr. Carnegie to give $17,500 if a like amount could be raised by Mr. Scarborough. The amount was raised. Among the men who assisted in this was President Taft, who addressed a meeting in Washington in interest of Wilberforce university. While President Scarborough was working here for funds Miss Halle Q. Brown was working in Europe, and when she returned home she came with a promise of $13,000 for the building from Miss Emery. The Emery hall was appropriately dedicated by Bishops C. T. Shaffer, B. F. Lee and Joshnia A. Jones. Miss Brown made a strong address, and then followed the reading of a poem which had been prepared for the occasion by Mrs. B. F. Lee, wife of Bishop Lee.

CANADA AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, SAN FRANCISCO, 1915. PLANS for the Canadian building at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915 have been approved, and the work on the great structure has started. The Canadian Palace, as it is officially named, will be one of the largest and most imposing of the foreign buildings, having a length of 340 feet, a width of 240 feet and a height of 50 feet, and will cost in the neighborhood of $300,000. It will be the largest building ever erected by Canada at an international exposition, covering 65,000 square feet, and will house one of the most elaborate and comprehensive exhibits of the Dominion's resources and products ever shown on foreign soil. Six hundred thousand dollars has already been voted by the Canadian parliament for the building and exhibits, but a further grant, bringing the appropriation up to $1,000,000, will be recommended by the government. Canada at the Panama-Pacific Exposition is following the same policy that has obtained at former expositions—namely, the display of specimens or exhibits of the natural products of the country—agricultural, horticultural, mineral, forest and fisheries—for the purpose of showing her climatic advantages and her resources to the great number of people who will visit the Exposition. Attention will be devoted to transportation facilities, and the railways will be assigned considerable space in the building. Practically the entire exhibit of Canada at the recent Ghent exposition—and it was conceded by all judges a most magnificent display—is en route here now, while many new and attractive exhibits are being prepared in the various provinces. The exhibit will be under the supervision of Colonel William Hutchison, who will represent the Dominion government.

The huge dome will be 186 feet in height and 152 feet in diameter. At night colored searchlights placed within the building will play upon the inside of the dome, giving it the appearance of a magnificent soap bubble, iridescent with all the colors of the rainbow. The building will cover five acres. Copyright, 1914, by Panama-Pacific International Exposition Co. THE WORLD'S FIRST INDOOR AEROPLANE FLIGHT, PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, 1915. THE world's first indoor aeroplane flight was made recently by Lincoln Beachey, the American aviator, on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Starting at one end of the Palace of Machinery, which is the largest wooden frame structure in the world, being almost 1,000 feet in length, Beachey attained a terrific momentum and rose into the air to a height of fifty feet, actually flying for a distance of 300 feet. At the opposite end of the building barriers of cloth were held by assistants to lessen the impact of the aeroplane. The machine, however, provided with a hundred horsepower engine, easily tore through the cloth, and the aviator received a severe shaking up. The difficulties of the flight were increased by the fact that the interior arrangement of the building consists of three longitudinal aisles each seventy-five feet in width, and Beachey flew down the center aisle, having to keep a straight course in order to prevent the aeroplane from striking the great columns of the aisle.

We wish to warn our race contemporaries in the North, of the white and Colored representatives of Southern educational institutions and organizations, who come North soliciting funds, as a rule, and who express themselves, particularly when ad dressing white audiences and in inter views in Northern daily newspapers, as favoring segregation, "jim-crow" institutions, and various other color lines. They are making it infinitely harder for us. The time has come when every loyal, manly and intelligent member of the race, in every community, especially here in the North, must speak out in a respectful way, for the race at every opportunity. Use your local daily newspapers all you can, in doing so. Stand up squarely, at all times, for every right and privilege exercised by other American citizens, and oppose segregation and "jim-crowism." EFFECTS OF JIM-CROW Y. M. C. A.'S Cleveland has twenty or more Afro-American young ladies teaching in its public schools. Very few, if any of them, have even a few Afro-American pupils in the rooms over which they preside. One is a member of the faculty of Central High School. They are among the best of our public school teachers. The establishment of a "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. in this city will ensure the establishment of separate schools for Colored children here, just as it has in nearly every city in the North where there are "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A.'s. The result will be that instead of twenty or more teachers, we would have possibly ten, or a dozen at most, all of whom would be segregated in a building which would house our children only, many of whom would have to travel miles, through all kinds of weather, to get to it. This would mean the loss of about the same number of teachers, including the one we have in the Central High School. No one can correctly estimate the tremendous encouragement of the drawing of color-lines by prejudiced whites, in other public and quasi-public places and institutions, this would surely give. It also makes even clearer the absolute necessity of wiping out that unnecessary and very harmful "jim-crow" effort in M. Pleasant, known as "The Colored Children's Home." Strange that members of the race, if not most of whom have been driven to Cleveland by conditions made more or less intolerable by a multiplicity of color-lines including the separate schools, are so insistent in an effort to establish the opening wedge here to the establishment of the same intolerable conditions that forced them to leave the South. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY PLAN. Senator Sherman of Illinois, addressing the Senate in support of his federal presidential primary bill, draws a line of division between the two great parties in Congress which will be made clearer as the debate proceeds. The Illinois senator does not draw the line in any spirit of partisanship. His address is remarkably free of such a spirit. So far as it touches the practices and precedents of political parties, it deals wholly with his own party, without criticism of the meth- ods of the opposition. His strong intellect goes at once to the core of the question of delegate representation in national nominating conventions, by a grouping of forty-two congressional districts in seven Southern states in which, at the last presidential election, a not a Republican vote was cast. "It is not fair," he said, "to give to such states the same representation as to states where the Republican party has behind it strong voting power." He severely criticises the methods followed in the National Republican Convention of 1912, but calls attention again to the fact that these were the methods employed by the ruling forces of the convention of 1908. He sums up the case for his own party by saying: "These methods can be justified by an appeal neither to fairness nor justice. Neither can those who seek to make this a basis for the destruction of the Republican party justify that course." The Sherman presidential primary bill is in agreement with that of the Democrats, as now tentatively proposed, in reserving to each state the right to make its own presidential primary law, the delegates accredited by its constituted canvassing authorities to be recognized in the temporary organization by force of such credentials. But the Sherman bill goes farther than Democrats will be willing to go, in fixing the basis of delegacy of any party, in any states, on its shown voting strength in the state. That is where the line of party division against the Sherman bill will appear. Should such an eminently just and fair provision get into the law, Southern representation in the next National Democratic Convention would be materially reduced. Six of the seven Southern states named by the Illinois senator, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, were represented in the Baltimore convention by 128 delegates, while the State of Illinois was represented but by 56 delegates. Yet at the ensuing election Illinois alone gave Mr. Wilson 405,000 votes, while the half dozen Southern States named gave him but 410,000. In other words, any Democrat in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi or South Carolina, had twice the representation in the Baltimore convention that any Democrat in Illinois had. This is but a single evidence of disparity between Northern and Southern representation in national Democratic conventions. The patent fact seems to have been overlooked in the outcry over such disparities in national Republican conventions. Democrats in Congress will not accept the Sherman plan of representation, and if it were possible to put into a federal primary law something to fix and fasten the present ratio of delegate representation prevailing in all the states, and make it mandatory on parties, we should look to see it done, through force of caucus. The Sherman plan, which is the Republican party plan, will commend itself to all parties in the North, but in the South it will be opposed by Republicans and Democrats alike, since it would deprive both, in the next national conventions, of an undue preponderance in party power they have long enjoyed. A BISHOP TO BE PITIED Urges Our People to Have Self-Respect and Gain Individual Success—Sorry He is a "Negro." Atlanta, Ga.—A plea for the Afro-American to retain his self-respect and seek to elevate himself as an individual rather than as a race, was made by Bishop W. D. Chappelle of Columbia, S. C., in an address to the Educational Board of the A. M. E. church. "Self-respect is the first step to uplift," said Bishop Chappelle. "No people will ever amount to anything that has not the principle of self-respect. We as a race, must lift ourselves as individuals, and not by boasting that we are Negroes and talking of the progress we have made to achieve our goals. We teach the world that as individuals we are a part of the human family, endowed with the same qualities of manhood. We must build a solid character, and get education and wealth. We must add our part to the civilization of the world, then demand our place in the world. We must say he is proud that he is a Negro I put that Negro down as a fool! I am sorry that I am a Negro, and the future is dark and opaque for my boy, simply because he is a Negro." "IT IS INFAMOUS"! The Case of the Richest Colored Girl in This Country. Sarah Rector of Oklahoma, is only a little Colored girl. Her father was an Indian. She gets an allotment of land. Oil is discovered upon the land. She is thereupon adjudged to be a minor by the courts and her parents incompetent to protect her great interests. A white man, who cannot associate with her or her parents as an equal in the home, at the dinner table, anywhere, is designated as her guardian, to look after her wealth and not after her. He will do it, and the white courts will approve his accounts, straight or crooked, and her parents will have nothing to say about it. The courts will rule that much. It is infamous—N. Y. Age.

BYRD WHERE THE SO-CALLED "NEGRO PROBLEM" LIES-ITS SOLUTION. What the South Must be Taught Its Absurd and Inhuman Position—The Problem for Northern Whites—Social Equality—Rev. D. J. Mountain and His Kind—Praise for "The Gazette." The Gazette earned for itself the praise of every fair-minded man, in administering to the Rev. D. J. Mountain (white) a well deserved rebuke. The Colored race at large should congratulate itself for the uncompromising defender found in the resourceful editor of The Gazette. Mr. Mountain, like the most of the so-called uplifters of the race that go South and then come North, adopts the angle of the South with dismaying change that way. Mr. Mountain believes there is a problem and that this problem can be solved by educating the Colored people according to the way the Southern white people want them educated. Mr. Mountain may be correct in saying there is a problem, but his solution is unqualifiedly inapplicable. There is no "Negro Problem," in the sense of the Negro being a menace to American institutions, North or South, but the problem lies in the fact that the South has dismissed the way it had when it rebelled, that Negroes had no rights that a white man should respect. The problem lies there and the solution will come when the South is taught again that it must respect the rights of a Colored individual as much as the rights of any other individual. The South does not believe that Colored people have any right whatever to enjoy American citizen rights in this society, as every opportunity presented. Every law enacted smacks with this sentiment and every social instinct of the white Southerner justifies this absurd and inhuman position. The problem for white Americans is to compel their brethren in "Dixie" to respect the fundamental law of the land, and that under "States' Rights' Exemptions" they have no right to infringe upon constitutional rights of the Colored people, all other "toads" to Southern sentiment, have no place in the educational or moulding process of the Social equality is not desired by Colored people with all of any race, not even its own. In making this statement we mean to say that the Colored race could not be benefitted by associating on equality with the majority of the Southern people. No self-respecting Colored man desires to have among his coterie of friends, such men as Vardaman, Tillman and others. It does not concern us either if the gentlemen named object to us, for we assure them that it is mutual. So far as associating with the women of the South, it is certain that the results could not be more disastrous to race identity than the association of certain white men with Colored men. It is not unacceptable as it was, the white men then were infinitely superior to the horde of Negro-haters now fulminating in the U.S. Senate and elsewhere. The Colored race suffers immensely, being taught by men of Mountain's type and Colored sycophants that "truckle for pay." The schools educating the Colored race in the South will be investigated some day, and that very soon, to find out if they be efficient as well as proper in sentiment to develop a race that must be assured of its consciousness and must be taught to be aware of the very people who have been their everlasting social and political enemy. The Colored race must have no "prescribed education." He needs every kind of education that any other race needs to meet the demands of this American life. The one kind of education he must get away from is the "servant kind," commonly called the working education, and this work means some menial household drudgery or office cleaning and cuspidion. Give the Colored man education of American citizens and then by the law of fitness let him with the others gravitate to his job or place, fixed not by arbitrary laws of an unjust people nor by a pernicious caste system. The true men of the race will fight the Southern sentiment prevailing against the Colored race. The race will fight as never before, the discriminations and "jim-crowism" practiced upon it, so help us Almighty God! We are as determined to defeat Vardamanism as it is to handicap us. No man can lead us who compromises with that sentiment he be white or black. We must be menace to the race as Mr. Vardaman. The Catholic church cannot help the race through him. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD. "CHIEF SAM" SETS SAIL. To Have Ship Overhauled Before Starting for Africa.

The tableau concert, "A Monk's Vi-Monday evening, for the benefit of theision," at St. John's A. M. E. church, Old Folks' home, proved enjoyable, although not as largely attended as anticipated. The meeting at Mt. Zion Congregational church, Sunday evening, for the same purpose, was attended by about 150 persons. Dr. Cooley spoke and about $75 in cash and subscriptions were raised. A little more than half of the attendance. Many did not hear of the meeting until it was over. Then the "jim-crow" children's home in Mt. Pleasant is hurting the Old Folks' home effort to raise funds in several ways. At least one of its promoters is directly or indirectly connected with the Old Folks' home movement and people are beginning to wonder. Mrs. Sarah M. Bailey, press committee of the Women's Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Humane Society, writes The Gazette that the organization "has held no reception or engaged in no social activities"; that Miss Dorothy Chesnutt, our probation officer, upon invitation, attended a recent meeting of the Auxiliary, became a member of it, and was extended the warm welcome given new members. She, and Miss Skurdevant, representing the Associated Charities, made an effort to show the great interest in sociological work and commending that of the Auxiliary.

That it was a mistake to make a public "Charity Ball" an invitational affair was made clear by the recent Chamber of Commerce hall affair. Equally as great a mistake is it, to keep from the public, which has a right to know, the amount made as a result of the ball or entertainment, and the Cleveland Association of Colored Men is making a great mistake in not announcing, at least, the net receipts of its recent "Charity Ball." That one of its officers retained $25 for addressing envelopes sent out and for doing other work, because the failure is not sufficient excuse for the failure to which we call attention.

Matlock of 2911 Saratoga Ave., who has been promoting a "jim-crow" hotel, to be financed principally by wealthy whites of this city, has decided to discontinue his efforts, so Assistant Prosecutor of the Municipal Court Samuel H. Silbert, writes The Gazette. "Anything to get a dollar" these days, seems to be the slogan of "jim-crow" Negro grafters and promoters. They are literally "murdering" our rights and privileges in public places, institutions, etc. Where is this sort of thing to end? Help to stop them, here in Cleveland, at least. That much, we can try to do. M. Edelman, proprietor of the Alpha Theater, has purchased the Pekin Theater, across the street from the "Alpha," and has named it the "Avenue."

Izize Helen Ogden, a member of the race, crushed out her race enterprise and brought about the result noted in the foregoing. 'Twas ever thus! Case No. 22822, filed a few days ago in the Municipal Court is that of Amos Wesley Carter against The G. A. Morgan Hair Refiner Co.-Corporation—508 Superior Bldg., R. R. Cheeks, sec.; and Moses Dixon, propriator of a barber shop, 2905 Central Ave. The amount of damages claimed is $1,000. E. H. Krueger is attorney for Mr. Carter. Prof. Lefwitt and his two Boley, Oklahoma, Creek-Seminole college professor, left the city, last week, for Chicago. He insisted, when he called on the editor of The Gazette, that he did not advocate "segregation" at the Second Presbyterian church, cor. E 30th St. and Prospect Ave., last Sunday evening week, while several of our people present at that time, still declare that he did. An investigation of Cleveland's "tenderbill" district, Saturday night, by Public Safety Director Alfred A. Benesch, caused the statement to be made in Sunday's local daily papers that "Negroes and Chinese are rigidly excluded from practically every house in the district." As a matter of fact, there are at least two houses in that district conducted by Colored women for white men, only. $^{1}$ One of the neatest and best barbershops and shining parlorists in the city is the "Sanitary"—at 2833 Central Ave. First-class workmen only, and the best service guaranteed.

(Continued on Col. 5, Page 2.) That "Jim Crow" Home That "Jim Crow" Home A DISGRACE AND VERY HARMFUL TO CLEVELAND AFRO-AMERICANS. History of the Backward Step—How it Will Close Several Public and Charitable Institutions to Our People. An entertainment given at the "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant "Industrial School," in November, 1913, netted $17. This all but precipitated a fight between several of its officials, at least two of whom wanted "that money." Now the "school" has been turned into a "Children's Home" and elaborate preparations are being made to get money. There is no need of a "jim-crow" Home of the kind in Cleveland and our people should not waste their money by contributing or giving to this movement. We should stamp or starve it out just as soon as possible. —The Gazette, Jan. 10, 1914 That "jim-crow" Industrial School effort, in M. Pleasant, has proved such a miserable failure, just as it should, that the promoters are now endeavoring to turn it into a Children's Home for the segregation of our dependent and other children. The city and county have been caring for these without any discrimination on account of race or color, should continue to do so, and will, if this latter "jim-crow" effort is promptly throttled as it should be. We understand that Dr. E. A. Smith, and a Mr. Thaxter Eaton, of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, an assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, are the whites encouraging the local Afro-American promoters of the "jim-crow" Children's Home. Again we call the attention of our City Federation of Women's Clubs, our Ministers' Alliance, and all intelligent and sensible people to this latest, miserable segregation effort.—The Gazette, Jan. 10, 1914. For some time we have been quietly investigating the persistent effort, extending over several years, of a man, a member of the race, to establish, first, a "jim-crow" industrial school in this city, and when that failed, to start a "Children's Home"—his latest effort and find that his underlying motive is to establish something that will occupy a house which he owns in a suburban section of the city, known as Mt. Pleasant, and for which he is now receiving $25 or more monthly. He has apparently drawn to hisistance three or four white persons who are alding him to foist this unnecessary segregation outrage on our people of this community. At what a loss to them, it is almost impossible to state in them, so far-reaching, in its baneful effect, is the projected effort. There is one encouraging feature, however, and that is the fact that the promoters of the "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant Children's Home are to open a meeting; they have effected a compartment organization Tuesday, January 13, 1914, Mrs. Hattie Fairfax and Mrs. Blanche Glillem Fairfax and Mrs. Blanche City Federation of Women's Clubs, accompanied by the editor of the Gazette. visited the alleged home in E. 126th, Mt. Pleasant, and found a condition there that beggars a description. It condition there that beggars a people of this community which should be wiped out instanter. Those in charge of the affair have gotten "certificates" with which they hope to beg money from not only our people but from all who can be invigued into giving. Do not contribute to this latest segregation effort. We found among the half dozen or more children at the alleged home, several whom the woman in charge said were secured from the Cleveland Orphan Asylum in St. Clair Ave. an institution that for many years has willingly well-cared for our orphan children in common with those of all other classes. Those at the Mt. Pleasant "home" (like the place itself) were dirty, ragged, their hair unkempt, etc. There is absolutely no excuse for a "jim-crow" institution of the kind in this city at this time. Then the orphans, dependent and bad children, are budded together there in a few rooms when there are a half dozen well equipped institutions, like the Cleveland Orphan Asylum in St. Clair Ave., the detention homes for boys and girls and others, which have in the past and will continue to prop- early care for those classes of our children if we do not make the mistake of permitting the establishment of a "jim-crow" home such as the projected Mt. Pleasant "home" claims to be. Will our best people of this community continue to sit still and let this thing go on? If so they will be further pleased (?) and gratified (?), are many months have elapsed, by seeing established right here in Cleveland separate schools for their children and "jim-crow" street cars for them. For that is what this sort of thing leads up to. Segregation in one thing, in any community, means segregation in other things. The two detention homes in this city, for boys and girls, are so to be supplemented by a large one which Juvenile Judge Addams, Sheriff Smith and others are working for. It is this and other local institutions, supported by the tax-payers' money and charity, that prejudiced white persons hope to keep our children out of by the establishment of a "jim-crow" home such as that projected "home" in Mt. Pleasant which "jim-crow" Negroes are trying to help them establish. SHAME, O, SHAME! MINISTERS' ALLIANCE PROTEST! Denounce the Alleged "Mt. Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrocession and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: We, your committee, appointed Jan. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY for COLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on E. 126th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one care of the children or condition of the same, we express no opinion, and make no commendation since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasi public. 2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been actually formed, membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed. 3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. E. A. Smith and Mr. Thaxter Eaton of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. We, your committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit:— 1st—There is absolutely no necessity for such an institution. The city, the county and the state have made sample and satisfactory provision for such an institution is dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeasing undemocratic and unchristian policy of segregation and therefore to the entering edge of "microcosmism," so unattainable to all self-respecting Negroes, the world over. 4. Such a step is plainly and unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscription, and a practical annihilation of the principles fought for, and obtained at the cost of much sacrifice, privation and bloodshed. 5. We are an English-speaking people, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest of our government, and firmly believe in that perfectly democratic principle so long enunciated by Dr. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." We, your committee, recommend that this Alliance reaffirm its former declaration, that the only institutions and organizations, of color, in the city of Cleveland, soliciting from the public, that we endorse, are: The Home for Aged Colored People, The Phyllis Wholey Association, and The Cleveland Benevolent Association. Respectfully submitted. ELAM A. WHITE, H. C. BAILEY, CFAS. BUNDY, G. V. CLARK, W. G. WEBSTER. The above report was unanimously adopted by the Members' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. THAT ALLEGED "HOME." Hon. H. C. Smith, Blackstone Building, Cleveland. Dear Sir;—I am very much interested in what the news items which you have sent me state and infer concerning the Mt. Pleasant home. I am sorry that the pressure of business in the office here does not permit me to call upon you. I would be glad to have you call on me, but peel your business imposes the same limitations upon your time. Would you care, as an alternative, to write me a letter containing definite statement of what you know concerning the Mt. Pleasant home, its officials, purposes, etc? I will preserve what you say in confidence. Yours very truly, T. C. Wellsted, Assistant Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. As a result of Judge Addams' and Sheriff Smith's urging, the county commissioners are planning a large detention home for boys and girls, the boys' detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the city, being inadequate to meet the demand. An agreement with the Salvation Army Rescue Home and The House of Good Shepherd, in addition to the detention home at 2393 E. 42d St., are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls. G. W. TURPIN'S School for Dancing Every Tues. and Thurs.

Judge Addams has asked the commissioners to rent the premises adjoining the present detention home for girls in E. 43d St., and a house on the West Side to supplement the present boys detention home which occupies the two upper floors of the Detroit-West 29th St., police station. Supplementing the foregoing are, the home for boys at Hudson, and The Cleveland Girl's Home, opened this week at Warrensville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schafer, 10214 Hampden Ave., N. E. Assistant Director J. B. Vining of the department of public welfare states that three girls took up quarters at the home on the opening day. Girls admitted will come from the juvenile court and will be sent to Warrensville instead of being committed to Delaware or the Correction farm. The local farm consists of thirty-seven and a half acres and was bought last spring by the city for approximately $18,000. The house on the property has been remodeled and is of sufficient size to care for fourteen girls. The farm adjoins the Warrensville farm colony at the rear. Furniture for the girls' home was made at the correction home while the curtains, hangings, bed clothing and the all they will be made by the girls as needed. Committed girls will do all their own cooking and cleaning. Fruits and vegetables will be grown by the girls will receive instructions in gardening. A flock of the spring will be provided and a cow will be placed upon the farm in the spring. The entire work of farming and cultivation will be carried on by the inmates. Assistant Director Vining said all reference to the words "correction" or "commitment" will be avoided. the girls may feel a little disgrace as possible. "The girls will be held at the home by interest rather than by any attempt at guarding or force," said Mr. Vining. "After a girl is turned back to the community we want her to feel that the place is her home to the extent that she will come back to visit." It is said that Miss Schafer, the superintendent, will have an assistant yet to be appointed. For several years Miss Schafer has been employed as a teacher in the public schools with the exception of one year she spent in New York studying rescue homes and correction schools for girls. In the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "tim-crow." M. Pleasant children's home? OPPOSED TO THE "JIM-CROW" HOME G. W. T.

Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, since our children are being better cared for in local institutions for all. We shall fight such an effort and use every influence to wipe out the objectionable "Home" and any other, promoting discrimination and segregation. We, the women of the Federation, many of us belonging to the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Human society, organized to assist in the work of placing and relieving dependent children, know the abundance of organizations to help the above named organizations, and therefore, feel that a step as organizing such a "home" is entirely unnecessary, non-progressive and an insult to our race, and do hereby enter a vigorous protest, placing ourselves squarely on record as opposing such a harmful movement, and as a tool to use every influence to wipe it out.

Replies From Passenger Officials Indicate Desire to Give a Square Deal. By BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee, Ala.—Some months ago I sent out marked copies to railway officials in every part of the south of an article written for the Century Magazine, in which I referred to the unjust treatment of colored people on railroads. In addition, a letter was written calling attention to the portion of the article marked. It might interest those of our people who are seeking to improve the bad conditions that exist on many railroads to read some of the replies from these officials to these communications. In one case for example, the president of the railroad had a copy of the Century article placed in the hands of every officer on his road. Later on it is my purpose to urge our people to set aside one day in the year that might be called "railroad day," upon which throughout the country, wherever conditions demand it, we can go to the officials of the railroads and speak to them about the bad conditions that exist with a view of our co-operating with these railroad officials in order to bring about better conditions. I think the extracts from these letters indicate that the railroad officials are now in a state of mind where, in most cases, they are willing to recognize the justice of our claim for better things—In fact, some of them have already acted. When the proper time comes we should up with the officials concerned the matter of accommodations provided in restaurants, sitting rooms, street cars, steam cars, steamboats, etc. For the present, I am giving you these extracts for publication in order to show that there is an opportunity. If we go about it in the right way, to do away with what has been a long standing source of complaint. Views of Several Railroad Officials, Mr. C. J. Mills, assistant to President William Sproule of the Southern Pacific, writes: "Am very much obliged for your letter of Oct. 9 transmitting your printed article Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" and note with interest your reference to transportation facilities afforded in the south. These matters are bound to receive attention, and we hope the objections will be overcome in due course." Mr. William J. Black, passenger manager of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway system, wrote as follows: "I am in receipt of your favor of the 8th inst., inlosing an article by yourself recently published in the Century Magazine, which I have read with interest. You will, I no doubt, be pleased to learn that the Santa Fe has already provided equipment for colored travel in conformity with the plan outlined in your article. "At the present time 75 per cent of the coaches used in Oklahoma and Texas for colored people have two compartments, one being a smoking compartment and the other for men and women, and they have separate toilet facilities for each sex. As new cars are purchased or present ones are converted, they will be of that type, and we expect before long to have all of our cars for colored traffic on the same plan." The Race Is Not Getting a Square Deal. Mr. J. M. Parker, receiver and general manager of the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf Railway company, says "I have your favor with inclusure, be marked copy of an article which recently appeared in the Century Magazine. I shall take pleasure in reading this article, and from glancing through it I am inclined to think that the statement that the Negro is not getting a square deal in the way of transportation facilities is well founded." Mr. W. Coughlin, general superintendent of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway company, wrote: "I have carefully read the article to which you have called special attention and in connection therewith wish to say that while, no doubt, there is ground for complaint at times, am inclined to the opinion that, as a whole, the situation alluded to is improving. In fact, accommodations for white and colored passengers on our motor truks are identical. "On other trains there is not much difference except in emergency cases, where it becomes necessary to use temporary equipment that was not intended for passenger trains, but such cars as are used for the handling of both white and colored passengers as well as employees on freight trains. I assure you that our company appreciates the patronage of the colored people and that it is our desire to do what we can consistently for their comfort while traveling on our road." Will Confer With Other Officials. Mr. W. R. B. Biddle, receiver and chief traffic officer of the St. Louis and San Asserta Pig is a Gentleman. The pig is a gentleman, despite his diet, says Dr. Austin Peters, a leading agriculturalist. He is naturally one of the finest "gentlemen" in the land, and should be treated as such. Dr. Peters was talking on the raising and care of poultry and swine. "The pig is naturally a gentleman," said he. "It is man who has made him as he is. The popular idea that broken glass, empty cans and tn covers are appreciated as a diet by swine is one of the popular fallacies. Neither do they Francisco railroad, writes: "I have read yours of Oct. 10 and the pamphlet inclosed with a great deal of interest. I am quite sure that there is a disposition on the part of the carriers to do anything that they properly can to improve the conditions of the colored race. The conditions under which the carriers are operating at this time are in many respects so burdensome as to leave very little opportunity for the adoption of any philanthropic movements. I shall be very glad, however, to discuss this subject with the executive officers of other lines as opportunity offers." Mr. B. F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific Railway company, states: "The conditions cited in the article are not applicable to the Missouri Pacific. It is a fact that separate cars are maintained on the St. Louis, iron Mountain and Southern for the Negroes, but my information is that they are cleanly kept and adequate to meet all demands. However, I thank you for bringing the matter to my attention." Mr. N. M. Leach, traffic manager of the Texas and Pacific Railway company, writes: "In recent times the Texas and Pacific railway has made some improvement in the service afforded our colored patrons, and we are making an effort to further improve this service. We have received a number of expressions of appreciation from our colored patrons in Louisiana and Texas. I have read all of your article with a great deal of interest." Statement of Sunset-Central Lines. W. G. Van Vleck, writing for the president, W. B. Scott, of the Sunset-Central lines, says: "The matters referred to in your letter of Oct. 10 have been given very careful consideration by these lines. A few months ago we installed in our Sunset express all steel equipment, and precisely the same character of car is used for colored as well as white passengers. Later on we did the same thing with Nos. 7 and 8 and still later Nos. 11 and 12. These cars are all steel and all of the same kind. On the Central lines north of Houston trains 15, 16, 17 and 18 and on H. E. and W. T. trains 1 and 2 are similarly equipped. Local trains will be taken care of as fast as more equipment of this kind is available." George H. Taylor, vice president of the International and Great Northern Railway company, writes as follows: "I have your letter of the 11th inst. addressed to Frank J. Gould, inclosing copy of your article recently printed in the Century Magazine entitled 'The Greatest Source of Dissatisfaction to the Negro in the South'-namely, railway travel conditions. I have forwarded your letter and its inclusions to Mr. Gould in France." J. E. Franklin, president of the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf railroad, replies as follows: "I think you are entirely right in what you say in the pamphlet you inclose me. So far as this railroad is concerned, we are in a section of Texas where there is much Negro travel, but we are living the Negroes just as good accommodations as we are giving to the whites." Appreciation of our Mr. C. H. Hall, general passenger agent of the Central of Georgia Railway company, writes: "Yours of recent date, with marked copy of an article which recently appeared in the Century Magazine, has been duly received. The same will be given consideration, and I hope to write you further later. The management of this company appreciates the colored travel, and we desire to handle it satisfactorily." A. A. Matthews, superintendent of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway system, says: "I have read with interest your article entitled "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance" which you inclose with your letter of Oct. 9. The subject of better accommodation for Negro passengers is one that is receiving much thought by the railroads of the south, and I think, as our lines are improved and better coaches are used, that the Negro will share in the benefit. As for the Texas Central, except for a short distance, we very seldom handle Negro passengers, but when we do their compartment in our coaches is upholstered the same and receives the same care as the part provided for white passengers." C. B. Rhodes, general passenger agent of the Georgia Southern and Florida Railway company, replies: follows: "I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 18th inst., inclosing marked copy of an article of yours which was recently printed in the Century Magazine, for which please accept my thanks." Financial Aid For a Southern School. The Lucy Laney league, an organization composed of graduates and former students of the Haines Normal and Industrial school in Augusta, Ga., gave a large reception at Manhattan Casino, New York city, in the interest of their alma mater Friday evening, March 13. A short drama and good music were features of the occasion. The attendance was large and the entertainment was a social and financial success, and the proceeds will go far toward assisting the trustees of the school in meeting the heavy demands of the institution. Safeguarding American Citizenship Safeguarding American Citizenship. In his annual report to Secretary Wilson of the department of labor in Washington, the Hon. R. K. Campbell, commissioner of naturalization, says the fact that 1,581 persons who applied for citizenship papers in the past year were refused because of ignorance and 122 were denied on grounds of immoral character, is a sign of the successful operation of the law. During the year 10,801 applicants were rejected, and citizenship was granted to 82,017, the number rejected being almost 12 per cent. appreciate lemon rinds, orange peels and banana skins.

MARCH 14. 1814 BASEBALL Jack Kleinow will wear Montgomery's spangles in the coming season, having signed up with Bobby Gilkes' club. It seems only yesterday since "Chesbro and Kleinnow" was the battery combination that almost won a flag for James A. Farrell, along with Al Orth and Hogg. Although Connie Mack refuses to sign a contract to manage the world's champions for the coming season the Philadelphia American league club is not afraid the long leader will jump to the Feds. Mack has never signed a contract as a manager since he has been at the head of the team. Doc Newton, who once twirled for the Superbas and Highlanders, and who has been sent to Galveston by Memphis, announces that he does not like that assignment and will quit baseball unless another deal is framed up. --- Stepping out of class A is the jumping-off place for Bill Bergen in baseball, according to that veteran receiver himself. He has been sold from the International league to the Tri-State, but says he is ready to quit. Jim Gaffney, president of the Boston Braves, is some fighter that has been through a good many hard battles, and has generally come out on top. Johnny Evers has sanded in a good place for protection. . . . Charlie Street, the veteran catcher signed by the Chattanooga team, is for sale, according to Manager Harry McCormick, because he has made arrangements to get a catcher from the Boston Red Sox. . . . Henry O'Day will make his initial appearance as leader of the Cubs on the Cincinnati grounds on April 14. This will be a good time for Hank to give Garry Herrmann and his gang a long and loud laugh. The baseball tourists, it is said, found Nagasaki and Kobe the most interesting cities they visited in Japan. Evidently, then, there was a good deal of Tokyo they didn't see and weren't in Kioto at all. --- Secretary McCullough of the Pittsburgh Feds won out in his little publicicky argument with Charlie Doohn. Ruddy Charles dropped his side of a "useless argument at the request of President Baker." Cleveland fans can't forget Jake Daubert. Back in 1807 Jake wasn't good enough to land a berth with the Naps, but for the last three years he has been a .300 sticker with the National league. The Cleveland club has sold Pitcher Matt Hynes to Dayton of the Central league. He was with Portland in the Northwestern league last season and was the hero of a no-hit game against Vancouver. Roy C. Gafford of Minneapolis, Kan., has been re-elected president of the Kansas State league, which will have for its 1914 circuit Great Bend, Hutchinson, Salina, Clay Center, Newton and Emporia. . . . Heine Zimmermann says he is not sorry Evers has been deposed, but Heine had much more reason than any other Cub to say so. He felt the sting of Johnny's tongue often last summer. * * * Tommy Leach was picked by many to succeed John Evers in case the explosion came last summer, but the veteran center fielder has drawn only a captaincy under an outsider. . . . Clyde Engle, first baseman of the Boston American league team, who was reported as a possible recruit for the Federal leaguers, has signed a contract with his old club. Dreyfuss says he will always keep Wagner on the pay roll at $10,000. But we have a mental picture of Barney giving up $10,000 a year for one old man to watch the bats. Did you ever hear of a player stealing first? No? Well, Tyrus Cobb is one player who has accomplished this feat several times. Frank Chance says that he would sooner have Walter Johnson on his team than Tyr Cobb. But most managers would rather have both. Dick Cotter, who was once a Cub and was supposed to have signed a Fed contract recently, signed with the Indianapolis team again. Manager Clark Griffin of the Senators is willing to pay $100,000 for Ty Cobb. Griff thinks Ty is worth every cent of the money. Harry Cassidy, outfielder of the Denver club of the Western league, has signed a three-year contract at $3,000 per. George Kahler, Cleveland hurler, now with the Federals, wants to be a physician. The International league season will consist of 154 games. The season to begin April 21 and close September 27. Nap Rucker has been picked as the greatest southpaw hurler in the game at the present time. Hap Myers, former first sacker of the Boston Braves, has signed with the Buffalo Feds. Doc Miller, outfielder, has signed a contract to play with the Cincinnati Reds. T Many good major league players have been signed up by the Federal league during the past few weeks. Davy Jones, formerly with Chicago, St. Louis and Detroit, has agreed to play with the Pittsburgh team. Jones last fall announced his retirement from the game and said that he intended to devote his time in the future to his business, but the inducement held out by Manager Gessler of the Smoky City club was too much for the former Detroit slugger. Peters, who worked for Dallas some years back, later with the White Sox and last season with Minneapolis, American association, has signed a Kansas City Federal league contract. Bresnahan says that Jimmy Sheckard will teach the hitters of the Toledo club not to hit until the count is three and two. This may work out well with some athletes, but not with all. The signing of Pat Newman as manager of the Houston Texas league team finally stills the rumor that he was to be traded to Chattanooga of the Southern league for Mickey Coyle. Bert Niehoff, who will play third for Charley Herzig's Reds this season, is in fine shape and it is the belief of the Red manager that the former Colonel will make good in the big show. Johnnie Kelleher, who played short for the Hoosiers late last season, is a neighbor and close friend of Francis Ouimet. Johnnie, so 'tis said, like his friend, is some golfer. With Jack Knight and Larry Lajoie, Manager Birmingham expects the Clevelands to do some tall ball playing, even if Falkenberg is gone. Jim Baskette, the right-hander sent to Toleto by the Naps last fall, has signed his contract with the American association outfit. The St. Louis teams will have twenty-seven open dates this season. They will have seven open dates in September. Clark Griffith says that the game was just as fast twenty years ago as it is now. He ought to know. Emelio Palermo has left Cuba for Marlin Springs, where he will report to the New York Giants. Manager Rickey has seventeen college players on his roster. He's trying to best Connie Mack. SPORTING WORLD Walter Cochran, the fifteen-year-old billiard wonder from Iowa, will never compete for the amateur championship. By negotiating for professional engagements, he has established his professional standing and must look to that field for honors. Walter P. Steffen, captain of the Maroon football team in 1908 and chosen by many critics for the All-American eleven, signed a contract to coach the Carnegie Institute of Technology football squad of Pittsburgh next fall. . . . Sweeping changes are coming in Princeton's football policy. The forward pass will be used to the limit of its possibilities and open play will replace the old style. Nash Turner, once America's crack jockey, and by birth a Texan, will move from France to Heycalert, Belgium, and ride for Baron de Crawhez. There are more real good light: weights around the middle west at the present time than there have been for several years. From New York comes word that Geers instead of Murphy is apt to be behind Directum I. in his races this year. Tommy Burns has taken Art Pelkey to Australia. It looks like as if all the boxes were going to Kangaroo land. The winners of 30 races or more last year are Fred Jamison, Tom Berry, Herman Tyson and Art Martin. The winter colony at Memphis is pleased with a green pacer by Walter Direct in the Geers stable. New York has a boxer named Whirt wind, but he probably is no faster than the rest of them. Merry Direct, 2:11½, put the five mile ice record down to 12:37½ at the Ottawa meeting. The foreigners picked up a mighty good sire In Ed Custer, recently bought by them. COSTUMES SEEN AT MONTE CARLO Most Effective Are Those Copied From Gowns Worn in Recent Successful Play. NEW IDEA IN BLOUSE COATEE Modiste Has Succeeded in Introducing Most Picturesque Outline—Extremely High Colifaces Now Worn Are Revival of Fashion of 1373. MONTE CARLO—In the early hours of the morning—that is to say, between ten o'clock and midday—the scene on the Casino Terrace at Monte Carlo is very brilliant. When the sun shines—and when does it not shine—in this favored spot—the famous terrace looks like some daity feminine creature who is well aware that she is lovely and calmly accepts admiration. People talk with enthusiasm about the Promenade des Anglise at Nice, but though this promenade is immensely long and sufficiently picture esque, it cannot compare with the Casino Terrace at Monte Carlo. In the first place, the terrace stands high above the sea and it faces the south. Every ray of sunshine that falls on Monte Carlo is caught by this enchanted walk. And then the tropical foliage which frames it is so rich and luxuriant that no painting could ever give a correct impression of its natural beauties, writes Idala de Villiers in the Boston Globe. On the terrace I saw two charming little suits which had been copied, almost directly, from some of the wonderful Poetre models which are just now attracting tout Paris to the Athenee theater. The name of the piece in which these gowns appear is "Le Tango" and it was written by Richepin, the Academician, and by his wife. Real "Tango" Costume. Paul Poiret has practically dressed "Le Tango." And the scenes have been arranged and executed by the famous "Martine," one of the most artistic personages in Paris. A very lovely Austrian woman was wearing a genuine "Tango." It had evidently been copied from the original Poiret creation, designed for Mlle. Spinelli, but the colors had been altered. There was the same curious blouse coatte, banded in below the waist by a culture covered with beads, but the material of the coatte was cherry-red duvetyn instead of black satin, and the skirt with which it was worn was black and white striped cashmere de soie. The blouse coatte was exceedingly picturesque in outline. It opened in a deep V over a quaint chemisette composed of white silk-finished linen, and the beads on the broad ceinture were made of dull porcelain in several shades of blue and red. The sleeves of the coatte were quite long, curving down over the hands, and the shoulders were arranged in kimono style. As to the skirt, it—like the original model—was plain and rather tight. Skunk Trimming on Skirt. In Poiret's "Tango" gown this skirt was made of black and white duvetyn and the hem was bordered with skunk. With the charming costume I have just described the pretty Austrian wore a flat brimmed hat made of white felt and round the crown there was a wide band of embroidery similar to that on the cinture. Poiret has introduced a novel bolero in this piece, and this I have also seen copied in different materials. The original bolero was in a heavy make of black satin and worn in conjunction with a tunic of pale gray duvetyn, but the little gown I saw on the terrace had a similar look in bottle-green face cloth, while the tunic was composed of black and white checked ensham and the skirt in the same material as the bolero. There is a certain shade of pale strawberry, which looks beautiful in the sunshine of Monte Carlo. As I have mentioned, one has to take a grt it care in choosing suitable colors for the "Sunny South." Some shades of blue give splendid effects, other shades of the same color seem to "fight" with the sapphire tints of sea and sky. Colors Especially for South. All the soft pastel colors are certain of success and of course pure white. In the land of sunshine, white or black may be regarded as safe. The dark-eyed beauties of southern Spain know this very well; they never fail to envelop their charming faces and forms in black or white lace mantillas on the occasion of great feastas. For afternoon wear at the Casino a black satin coat and skirt, or costume, is certain to score a success, and I have already said, in more than one article, that white serge tailored suits are invaluable at a smart seaside resort. Japonica pink is another valuable color for Riviera wear, and this lovely tint is at present in great demand for dressy restaurant frocks. At the Casino on the occasion of an important concert I saw a charming coifure. The transparent tule cap is one of the Parisian novelties of the season. This style of cap was introduced by Mile. Dorziat in a piece recently produced at a fashionable theater in Paris and it at once became popular. On a young and pretty woman such a head- "John" the Favorite. A French journal has been digging into the soul of the young girl, and asking her what she wants in a husband as to color, age and name. The vast majority of 50,000 reply that they want a dark man of twenty-seven, and his name should be the French equivalent of John. None of your Algeronns or Erics for the cautious damsel. None of your Hippolytes or Pauls-mercurial or subversive persons. They want John when it comes to husbands. dress is fascinating. The hair is dressed high and the cap being transparent the colls and curls are distinctly seen through the delicate meshes of tulle. The border may be in diamonds or in nears. Pearls Add to Effect. Pearls Adult A loose string of pearls circles the throat and gives a wonderfully picturesque effect. Another head-dress was a revival of a style of hairdressing which was in vogue in the year 1878 or thereabout. This head-dress was exploited by Princess de Broglie at the Casino concert and it attracted general attention and admiration by reason of its simple, yet elegant, outline. The rage for bare foreheads increases daily. While a ringe is worn now it is always broken, that is to say it lies on the temples in the guise of soft curls, while the middle of the forehead is bare; or it may lightly over one side of the face, while the hair at the other side is drawn away from the forehead. Princess de Broglie had an effective rosette of black velvet placed high in her hair, at one side, and round her neck she wore one of the new jet bands which at a little distance looks like a narrow band of black velvet. At the same concert a beautiful evening wrap was worn by Princess Mirko of Montenegro. The material of this wrap was crepe de chine in three shades of yellow, a rich lemon tint shaded up to the darkest orange. On the collar and cuffs of the wrap there were borders of ermine which had been tinted lemon-yellow and the wrap was fastened by a jeweled clasp. **Coifure Very High.** This mantle was worn over a lovely robe, composed of oyster white chameuse and tulle embroidered in crystal beads and tiny pearls. Princess Mirko of Montenegro has masses of dark hair and this she wore dressed very high in the prevailing fashion. It is clear that a change of coifure will do for a woman. The present style lends dignity and height. it also adds an appearance of calm repose which is very welcome in these days of hurry and hustle. I hear people say that powdered hair is going out of fashion, but, as I mentioned in a recent article, I see no A BEAUTIFUL 1898' COIFURE MORN AT THE FROSTLE AT FRONT CROSS BY PONTCASSÉ DE BROOKE sign of this. On the contrary, it seems to me that the Parisiennes, and also very many English and American society women, are adopting powder and patches more and more freely. It is undeniable that carefully powdered hair is flattering to the complexion. It is also undeniable that it makes a woman of "uncertain age" look younger than she could have looked with henna tinted locks. Subject Needs Consideration. At the same time it must be admitted that white hair gives an impression of middle age—at first sight. One may depart from this impression after a close examination of hair and skin, but since first impressions are obstinate there is always a certain amount of risk. With regard to purple and blue hair there is little to be said except that such eccentricities can be adopted, with good results, by certain women, but that on the whole they are "impossible." Very dark blue hair is becoming to women of fine, clear skin. And in the shadows of an opera box I have seen dark purple hair look wonderfully attractive. At best this fashion is one to be adopted with great care. Strings to the Hats How many times have strings to hats and bonnets come again to the fore, and then been set aside as being too bunchy? The other night, at a fashionable New York restaurant, a pretty young woman came in with her hat tied with big bows of coloured tie. She was heard to remark that the hat is so worn that and stil in fear of drafts. Now this sore throat will doubtless be the cause of all the women taking to wearing strings on their hats. Beauty Spots. Black velvet beauty spots, cut in disks, big and little, in triangular and in various odd designs, are sold by the box. The reverse side is covered with a gumlike substance which fastens the velvet securely to the skin when it is slightly moistened.

"No." "Why should the law give that to man who wants to be his widow."—Baltimore American ON THE FUNNY SIDE ONE SMILE THAT CAME OFF Information "that Man Was Sitting on His Hat Withheld for Fear of Spoiling Expression. "Look pleasant," said the photographer. The sitter raised his eyes and gave a sickening smirk. "Your head just a little more to the left, please," suggested the voice from the black shroud. "No, don't move the eyes." Like a man suffering from a stiff neck or an Elifel tower collar, the sitter tilted his head gingerly till it reached the desired angle, and he resembled a dying fish trying not to mind. "That's very nice; very nice, indeed," said the photographer. "Stay just there while I make the exposure." He removed the cap as he spoke and counted out a minute and three-quarters. "Thank you," he observed. "You can get up. I'm afraid you have been sitting on your hat." "My hat," roared the sitter angrily, regarding the flattened felt. "Why the dickens didn't you tell me I was sitting on my hat." "My dear sir," protested the photographer, blandly, "that would have spotted your expression."—Pittsburgh Chronicle. Giving Mamma Away A beautiful young widow sat in her deck chair in the stern and near her sat a very handsome man. The widow's daughter, a cute little girl of four or five years, crossed over to the man and said: "What's your name?" "Herkimer Wilkinson," was the reply. "Is you married?" "No; I'm a bachelor." The child turned to the mother and said: "What else did you tell me to ask him, mamma?" He Lacked the Nerve A town character, who had been in trouble with the police many times, was arrested recently on a minor criminal charge.
