ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 21. 1914 NEW ADDITION TO RACE LITERATURE Period Covered by "Facts of Reconstruction." BOOK VOID OF PREJUDICE Former Mississippi Legislator and Retired Army Officer Discusses a Most Delicate Subject With Great Earnestness and Fairness—Advocates Full Civil and Political Rights. In "Facts of Reconstruction," the title of a most interesting and valuable book by Major John R. Lynch, retired paymaster in the United States army, the race has a work that is free from sectional animosity and partisan bias. It is free from any features which might be calculated to arouse racial antagonism. Beginning with 1866, the year marked by radical differences of opinion between the president of the United States and congress over the question of the reconstruction of the states but lately in rebellion against the national government, and running rapidly through the more important steps in MAJOR JOHN R. LYNCH. the political history of the state of Mississippi, touching here and there on national politics and ending with a conservative statement of President Taft's grave errors in dealing with the Negro question, the author has illuminated in a most effective fashion some of the most interesting pages of American political history. The recital of the story of reconstruction is in parts dramatic and in parts tragic. The strategy of designing politicians worked an appalling tragedy in the life of the ambitious Negro leader during the reconstruction period and especially in 1874, when the radical Democrats came into power throughout the southern states. The conditions described so vividly were lamentable, illustrating the awful calamities suffered by the weaker element of the body politic at the hands of the stronger. But Major Lynch is not a pessimist. He is a man with a great vision. He has seen the dawn of a new age "when each man's good shall be all men's aim." We of this age may be a little apathetic about such matters as are set forth in the book, but it would be well for us to read over and over again what this wise observer has written concerning our past. The book presents facts as the author has witnessed them. His study of the political situation is both analytical and intensive. He is a student of psychology. His is the advocacy of civil and political rights of all citizens. Major Lynch entered public life while quite a young man. It was in 1869 that Governor Ames appointed him justice of the peace in the city of Natchez, Miss. He showed splendid executive ability and was soon promoted by the people to a seat in the state legislature. His has been a brilliant career. There is hardly a Negro in the entire country whose past life has been so closely connected with the reconstruction period and who is more bigly esteemed in the councils of the Republican party today as is John R. Lynch. While he was serving in the national house of representatives he was a leader of powerful influence. He was once honored by the national Republican convention as temporary chairman. He has served as auditor of the United States treasury and paymaster in the United States army. Because of his close contact with the great leaders in the Republican party and with the problems in political life for the past forty years Major Lynch is well qualified to write intimately concerning the subject treated in his book. There is no way of accounting for the wonderful sagacity and wisdom manifested by our people during the reconstruction period. How they learned so quickly to conceive and plan legislation of such farreaching importance is a puzzle, but that they legislated wisely the laws of many of the southern states do attest. The administration of colored officials in the state of Mississippi, whatever may be said to the contrary, was many. It must be remembered that the race had no historians to record its acts; its critics were its enemies. THE NEW DIXIE HOSPITAL Much Needed Institution of Hospitals Much Needed Institution at Hamptons Industrial and Medical Equipment Has Ample Modern Equipment. Hampton, Va.-The new Dixie hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report: "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amd trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they do not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $0,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that about $63,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly 450 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the flames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." THE EDWARDS BILL WOULD BAR ALL BUT DEMOCRATS Measure Proposed by a Georgia Congressman to Legalize Segregation. Washington—Congressman Edwards of Georgia, author of a bill which has for its purpose the complete separation of white and colored employees in the government service, also wants to abolish the present modus operandi of the civil service. He is said to have asserted on the floor of the house, while speaking in defense of his bill Feb. 24 that it was his desire to reorganize the civil service so that only white Democrats would be eligible to hold positions under the new system. "There are many of us in the house who would like to see the civil service abolished," said Mr. Edwards. "Then we could not only get rid of the Negroes in the service, but we could put Democrats in. It seems, however, that the friends of the civil service are in the majority, and we are unable to get it abolished. "My idea would be to abolish the present rotten system, and then rewrite another civil service statute after we had got Democrats and white people. We had got Democrats and white people would be covered under the new law and would hold on under it. It is politics, but our whole government system is one of politics and parties." "We can't keep the parties strong unless we give the positions to those who help win victories. If putting the Republicans and Negroes out of jobs is the attitude of a spoilsman, then I am a spoilsman to that extent, for I certainly have strong convictions along that line." The Edwards bill provides that the executive heads of the several departments shall issue orders segregating the white and Negro employees in every branch of the government service and that hereafter "white clerks shall not be required to occupy the same offices or workrooms with employees or clerks of African blood or descent, nor shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction or supervision of any person of African blood or descent." STEADY ADVANCE OF DR. HARPER NOT AFRAID OF HARD WORK Interesting Career of a Prominent Veterinary Surgeon Who Burned the Midnight Oil and Worked Far His Board and Lodging In Order to Secure an Education. Indianapolis, Ind.—Among the many business and professional men in this city who have won their way to recognition by hard work is Dr. Robert F. Harper, the only man of our race holding a veterinary surgeon's license and who follows the profession. He has been engaged in this line of business for a number of years. His success shows what an industrious, self-resistant, honest man with a good education can accomplish. Dr. Robert F. Harper is a native of Green county, N.C. At the age of thirteen, with his brother-in-law and sister, he settled in Crawfordville, Ind. Good paying positions were scarce in Crawfordville, and young Harper was anxious to earn money with which to continue his education. The best he could do was to secure a place in a family, where he served morning and early evening for his board, lodging and clothing, so that he might attend school at night. He made rapid progress in school and won many friends. Finishing the common schools of Crawfordsville, Mr. Harper left for Indianapolis to seek higher things; but, thinking that it was necessary to earn a little money with which to push his way up, he came to this city to earn some money. For one family he worked for eighteen years, saving his money. He was all the time seeking his DR. ROBERT F. HARPER. field of usefulness and decided on veterinary as his profession. He took the examination to enter the Indiana Veterinary college, being the first member of his race to apply. He passed the examination and was admitted and got right down to hard study. He was determined to make it. He was ranked with the best members of the class and graduated in 1897 with honors. Receiving his diploma and having passed the board of the state, he started his work. He has been a success in his line or profession, standing at the head in the city. He has worked for some of the wealthiest people in the state and is kept busy all the time. He knows the dumb brutes, with all their aches and pains. His knowledge and work have forced the men in the same profession to recognize his work and worth. He is a member of the Indiana State Veterinary Medical association, the only member of his race thus recognized. In the annual meetings his presence is always greeted with pleasure, and the warmest cordial reception is accorded him. Indianapolis has recognized his ability because the city administration recognized him by appointing him city veterinary surgeon, with special work to do. He made good in the position. He is devoted to his wife and son at home, and, then, he never allows an opportunity to go by when he can do something for his race. He is one of the leading Odd Fellows in Indiana, being for a number of years permanent secretary of local lodge. Lincoln union, 1486. He has been a member of the B. M. C. four times and will be in the next session to be held in Boston. During these sessions he has made many friends with the leading members of the order throughout the country and is now mentioned for one of the grand directors, and it is expected that he will return from Boston with the honor for his state. He is treasurer of the Past Grand Masters' council No. 23 and president of the Indiana Patrilarche regiment. Dr. Harper all these years has not been asleep, because he has purchased and owns some good real estate. He is one of the men who are doing something and who are helping to make things happen in this part of the country.

IN UNION PEACE AND PROTECTION BRILLIANT EDITOR SLAIN BY WOMAN Gaston Calmette Is Killed by Wife of French Minister of Finance. Scribe Pays Penalty of Unwritten French Law Which Forbids Honor of Woman Shall Be Dragged into Public Controversy. Paris, France—Gaston Calmette, the brilliant editor of Figaro, paid the penalty just after midnight of the unwritten French law which forbids that the honor of a woman shall be dragged into a public controversy. He was assassinated, his body riddled with bullets by Mme. Henrielle Callaux, wife of Joseph Callaux, minister of finance, who had been the object of bitter personal attacks published in Figaro and signed by Calmette. He died later. Vindicates Her Honor The Calliaux Calmette feud had held the attention of Paris for a long time. The Figaro editor repeatedly accused the finance minister of political corruption. The feud reached its climax recently when the Figaro published the contents of love letters that Calliaux wrote to his present wife in 1901—before they were married and when she was the wife of Leou Carette, the literary critic of the Figaro. It was not to avenge the attack upon her husband, but to vindicate her own honor that Mme. Calliaux started out to shoot Calmette. With a Browning pistol concealed in her muff she went to the Figaro office at the busiest time of the evening and sent up her card to Calmette's room. Paul Bourget, the famous novelist and academician, was with the editor when her card was received. Calmette was astounded when he learned the identity of his caller. Shot Five Times. "Do not see her," M. Bourget advised. "She is a woman," Calmette replied. "I must receive her." Bourget thereupon wished his friend good night and withdrew. As he left the room he met Mme. Calliaux, who seemed perfectly calm and showed no evidence of the mission upon which she was bent. Immediately upon entering the room Mme. Calliaux raised her arm and fired five shots at a distance of six paces. Calmette fell without a word at the first shot and lay apparently lifeless. After the fifth shot the attendants seized the woman, who retained perfect self-possession. "Don't touch me. I'm a woman," she said. Several members of the Figaro staff rushed into the room. As they raised the wounded man he murmured: "I only did my duty. I have no personal malice." Police were summoned, but as they rushed into the building Mme. Calliaux walked calmly out to meet them. She surrendered. MASCOT OF ROAD IS VICTIM OF OWN DETERMINATION TO RIDE ON TRAIN. West Chester, Pa.—"Bob," the thoroughbred bulldog mascot of this division of the Pennsylvania railroad, well known for some years, is dead, a victim of his own determination to ride on passenger trains, regardless of a new edict that practically included him in the anti-pass class. He was killed by a train at Westtown, and his taking off spreads genuine grief to the men of the entire division, who, among other things, had opened a perpetual dog tax bank account here in his name. "Bob" disobeyed the new regulation of which he had been warned frequently. He was to ride no more on passenger trains, because he persisted in disobeying the mandate that he confine his presence to baggage cars. Frequently in his trips alone to New York, Washington or Harrisburg, "Bob," knowing that he usually had personal friends in every car, had meandered mostly into coaches and Pullmans, where his most indulgent benefactors rode. Hence the "Nomore-"Bob" edict. When "Bob," as per orders, was put off the train at Westtown and savagely told to "go home," he refused. Rushing to climb back up the steps of a moving car he was thrown under the wheels and fatally hurt. Brought home on another train and found to be past human aid, "Bob" died. He was buried here with cash chipped in by conductors, brakemen and others. Pirates Take $30,000 Hong Kong, China—Pirates boarded and looted the Norwegian steamer Childar off this port, carrying off booty to the value of $30,000, after overpowering, blinding and gagging the six Europeans on board.

The interior of the vessel was badly damaged by the band before they disappeared over the sides and escaped. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES {in Advance) One Vear..-..icerectsceee $1:50,.

St, Jacksonyille, Fla. —— “UP IN ARMS.” Columbus, O., Mareh 13—The Cob ‘ored people here are up ih arms be- cause the Majestic Theatre, recently ‘opened, refused to admit them to any part of the house. Most of the the: Aters here either refuse to admit Col ‘ored people, or confine them to the galleries, ‘ We trist they are sufficiently: high “up in, artis” to resent such unlawful and insulting mistreatment by taking the matter into the courts and teach- ing such theater managements a much needed lesson. The law is “on thelr side” and if they are not manly enough to use it, as is too often the ease, they are deserving of no better treatment... 1 DRAWS THE COLOR LINE. Milwaukee, Wis—Boxing bouts be- tween whites and’ blacks will not be permitted in Wisconsin, according to ‘4 ruling of the state boxing commis- sion. As a result, the proposed bout etsieen Sam Langford and Car) Mor ris at Kenosha will be called off. Rumor has it that the publication of Cory M. E. church's paper has been discontinned. ‘They (church papers) are mighty expensive luxuries as the Teading local churches of both races, have long since learned. The Gazette has time and again invited our pas- tors and congregations, lodges and other organizations to send their hews-items and notices to it, and they would be published free (without charge) if sent promptly and not de- layed until they are old. Of course, advertisements must be paid for, but not concise and short news-items and rabbits. ‘The tableau concert, “A Monk's Vi- sion,” at St. John’s A. M. E. church, Monday evening, for the benefit of the Old Folks’ home, proved enjoyable, although not as largely attended as anticipated. The meeting at Mt. Zion Congregational church, Sunday even- ing, for the same purpose, was attend- ed by about 150 persons. Dr. Cooley spoke and about $75 In cash and sub- scriptions were raised. A little more advertising would have secured a larg- er attendance. Many did not hear of the meeting until it was over. Then the “fin-crow” children's home in Mt. Pleasant is hurting the Old Folks’ home effort to raise funds in several ways. At least ane of its promoters ig directly or Indirectly connected with the Old Folks' home movement and people are beginning to wonder.

Senator Vardaman has been suecessful in holding off confirmation so far and many warm friends of the Judge are beginning to fear the long. liaired Negro lating Mississippi Sen- ator will prevent confirmation. —Im- diately after President Wilson sent in the appointment to the Senate of Judge Terrell’s name, he sent in the name of Senator Vardaman's brother to be a U. 8. Marshall in Mississippi - oy Vardaman’s ‘brother was. confirmed, but Judge Terrell's name is still hung up. From this many-are inclined to believe that the renaming of Judge Terrell by Mr. Wilson was: only a bluff, as he knows that both he and the Senate is controlled by men of the Vardaman type. Recently VU. S. Senator Sherman of Miinois, said in an interview: “The recent division of the Republican party has brought about the destruc tion of our protective system. ‘The new tariff law is a heavy blow to the Wage-earners and producers of the country. Under the pretense of reduc Ing the high cost of living, the Demo. cratic party has cut our pay rolls in two and reduced nothing but the abil ity of American labor to earn a living, The present industrial depression’ is a result of the division at the last election. “The injurions effect of the Democratic practice of giving our mar Kets away and transferring our pay rolls to foreign countries 1s now plain. “The Republican party is too vitaily interwoven with the fortunes and des- tinies of the American people to be destroyed by a single defeat or series of defeats. Its legislation* and ad ministrations have been the most, po- tential for good and the most pro- gressive in our history. Republicans who are Progressives or Progressives who are Republicans need not spend tinie about whether the division of 1912 will destroy the party. What both want is results. They can bet- ter secure them by union. ‘Those who seek to lay fratricidal hands on the party life ought to reflect that. its vital principles have not materially varied since the days when Lincoln inspired it with purpose and a long line of Republican presidents has illu- minated its path with splendid achievements. Sich a party is not destined to perish by a single de- feat.” To Help Our People. Chicago, 111. — Congregationalists have sent out an appeal to ail their churches in this city for the raising of $5000 or more to be used in pro: moting their work among our people here and assisting in paying for the property of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational church at 65th St. and Champlain Ave.; Rey.

That "Jim Crow" Home A DISGRACE AND VERY HARMFUL TO CLEVELAND AFO- 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 latest "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 per month. He has apparently drawn to his assistance three or four white persons who are aiding 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 words, 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 hold an "open meeting." They have effected a temporary organization only. Tuesday, January 13, 1914, Mrs. Hattie Fairax and Mrs. Blanche Crawford have joined the federation of Women's Clubs, accompanied by the editor of the Gazette, visited the alleged home in E. 126th St. (Mt. Pleasant), and found a condition there that beggars description. It is a disgrace to our people of this community which should be wiped out instantiate. Those in charge of the affair have gotten out "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 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 huddled 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 properly 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 and separate scouss 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 Retrogradation 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: I. We find that the Home on E. 1250th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one or more 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, with officers elected, a membership fee depon, 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. 4. For our committee, do hereby entrust our 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 ample and satisfactory provision for all of its 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, become the entering wedge of "jim Crowism" to detestate self-serving 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 Gladien—"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 Children, The Phyllis Wheatley Association, and The Cleveland Benevolent Association. Respectfully submitted, ELAM A. WHITE, H. C. BAILEY, CHAS BUNDY, G. Y. CLARK, W. G. WEBSTER, The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' 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 has you call me, but parasit your business imposes the same limitations upon your time.

I will preserve what you say in confidence. Yours very truly, R. C. Wellsted, Assistant Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. 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 Armory, in addition to Good Shepherd, in addition to the detention home at 2393 E. 43d 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.

OPPOSED TO THE "JIM-CROW" HOME At a recent metting of the City Federation of Women's clubs, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered printed in The Gazette: We, the City Federation of Women's clubs, do earnestly enter our protest against establishing the "Mt. Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, since our children are being better educated 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 work done by our people to help the above named organizations, and, therefore, feel that such 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 determined to use every influence to wipe it out.

It has been estimated that about 45 per cent. of the disease and death of the people of the United States can be prevented by the application of modern methods of sanitation, said Booker T. Washington in a recent address. If this is true of the People of the United States as a whole, I think it is safe to say that at least 65 per cent. of the disease and death among negroes is due to causes that can be prevented. I say this because, as everyone knows, the death rate is much larger at the present time among negroes than among whites. Particularly is this true among the negro population of the larger southern cities. What then is the remedy? I have said that in this generation at least the negro will be best off, from every point of view, in the rural districts of the south. We cannot, however, expect that be will remain in the country districts contented, happy and prosperous without the same means of civilization that other races enjoy. We cannot expect the negro to remain in the country if he has little opportunity to educate his children; if the schools are in session only two or three months in the year. Another remedy for the present condition of negro health is education. The reason that so large a number of the people of my race are ill and inefficient is because they are ignorant. TRAINING STUDENT Students are trained at Hampton try school work of the south as inc introduce work in cooking, sewing, making, etc. The man in the picture is an ex ers at Hampton how to make split w A negro woman who may be one hundred and twenty or one hundred and thirty years old and is certainly more than one hundred years, has been discovered living at Trotter, near Greenburg.

"If I were not sitting on the Italian throne, Queen Elena of Italy said recently according to the French press, 'I could earn $400 weekly as champion woman swimmer and for trick shooting in New York music halls.'"

Mary of England as a painter is water colors and as a dressmaker; the kaiserin as an art photographer; Wilhelmina of Holland as a miniature painter and fancy cook; They have never had an opportunity to know the laws of health and they do not know how to take care of their bodies. I look forward to the time when every city and every town of the south will do what some other cities have already done—started campaigns of education along lines of health and sanitation which shall not be confined to the white portion of the population alone, but shall extend to the black portion also. When I was in Great Britain some years ago, I discovered that the people of that great country were spending annually not far from $80,000,000 in an attempt to rescue drunkards, gamblers, loafers, the misfits of life which make up so large a portion of the population of the great English cities. In a word, they were spending that tremendous sum in trying to get people up out of the ditch. The masses of the negro people in the south, with all their weaknesses and handicaps, are not yet in the ditch. How much simpler, wiser and more economical to spend some millions of dollars to save these people before they fall instead of waiting to save them after they are already lost.

William Kfoate, a street car motorman of Chicago, was late to work one day recently for the first time in 20 years. He drove a mule car six years, before electricity was put into use. The activities of the Afro-American race have not been confined to the professions, however. He has done well on the farm. There are 800,837 Afro-American farmers in the southern states. In 1900 the value of farms (land and buildings) was $280,280,968. According to the census of 1910 it had increased to $900,132,324 or 136.7 per cent. in ten years. An example of the success colored farmers have wrested from the soil is furnished in the case of J. G. Groves, the "potato king." He reached western Kansas about 20 years ago with 50 cents in his pocket and is now worth more than $100,000. He has succeeded in raising a larger number of bushels of potatoes to the acre than any other man in Kansas. Berlin is said to be the quietest city in Europe, if not in the world.

Slowly but surely the adjacent islands are getting into the big league. George (Buster) Brown, former National league pitcher, died recently in his home at Sibu City, Ia. His death followed an operation to remove a growth from his arm. He got it back again. Mike Donlin has been given the title of "pinch hitter" by Manager McGraw for his Giants. He will take the place of "Moose" McCormick. Billy Sullivan says he is going to take care of Pitcher House, whom he discovered while on a scouting trip last season. Sully believes the youngster is ripe for the majors. Vic Saier's brother, Herbert, has been signed by the Fort Wayne (Central league) club. Herbert is a second baseman. Earl Moore, the veteran National and American league twirler, has jumped to the Feds, and will probably play for the Cleveland team. Manager Larry McQuinnlan of Terre Haute announces the purchase of Pitcher Louis Loudermilk from Fort Wayne and Pitcher Marloa from MIlwaukee. C The new manager of the St. Louis Federal league team is Mordecka Brown, who did more than his share in helping Frank Chance win pennants when they were both with the Cuba. He is better known as Miner Brown or Three-Fingered Brown. When he was a young man he worked in a mine and a premature explosion took off one of his fingers, and on his pitching hand at that. With the stump of the missing finger he is able to get a peculiar twist on the ball, and a resultant curve not possessed by any other pitcher in the business. Joe Graves, the young Chippewa Indian signed by Connille Mack, is being touted as a real find. The Memphis club has signed a player named Pat Moses. Manager Mique Finn caught only the first name and signed him. "Murphy," says the New York Trub une, "one of the roaring lions of base ball, went out like a lamb." Yes, but not a shorn lamb. Otto Williams, according to reports from Kansas City, is to draw his re- lease after eight years service in the American association. This will be Bill Jones' fourth entry into the American league. He has been with the Naps three times, and now hooks on with the Brown. "Pitchers! Pitchers! Give us pitchers!" is the cry of every baseball man- ager. But they should remember that pitchers alone can't win games. The Reds will have the only German infield in the league next season. Hob- ltzelt, Groh, Herzog and Niehoff are the candidates nominated for the inner waters. --- It will be up to Bobby Byrne to fill Otto Knabe's place with the Philies. Though heretofore he has played at third, Bobby will now tackle the job at second base. Fred Glade, formerly a member of the St. Louis Brown's pitching staff, is now a baseball magnate. He is interested in the Grand Island club of the Nebraska State league. SPORTING WORLD Arthur Pelkey does not look so good to Tommy Burns as he did after Pelkey's bout with Luther McCarthy. Mat Wells, former English lightweight champion, was defeated by Matt McCoy recently in Sydney, Australia. Mr. Billings is building a mile track on his Virginia farm. The latest recruit to the Andrews stable is Florence Vincent, 2:12 1/4. The new rules of the trotting associations have added much to the value of race horses. The three-heat plan will not be popular on the national tracks, as every heat winner has to take a record. Walter R. Cox wants to know of something eligible to the M. & M. that has anything on his colt Peter Johnson. New York state athletic commission is under suspicion and an inquiry into the methods used to control boxing is under way. Knockout Mars had a shade on Young Goldie of Pittsburgh in a ten-round featherweight contest at Cincinnati. George Chip, middleweight boxer, once tried for a place on a Cleveland baseball team, but was found lacking. B. E. Lawler, last year's quarterback on the Gopher football team, has been elected president of the athletic board of control of the University of Minnesota. William Hoppe, 18-2 and 18-1 balk line billiard champion, won the last block of his 1,500 point match at 18-2 with George Sutton, Chicago challenger for the New Yorker's title, giving him a grand score of 1,500 to Sutton's 734. Hobe Ferris, former Boston-Minneapolis infielder, has been appointed referee of the Rhode Island Boxing association. In the bout between Mike Gibbons and Al McCoy at the Irving Athletic club in Brooklyn, the fight was Gibbons' all through. A neat hook to the jaw sent Young Jack O'Brien clear through the ropes at Philadelphia when he fought six rounds with Al Dewey. The latter had a shade the better of the argument. PRESENT MODES NOT ARBITRARY General Refusal of Women to Slavishly Follow the Behest of Fashion. PERSONALITY NOW THE THING P ARIS—The couturier this year are working along divergent lines. There are as many fashions as there are types of women. Not many years ago all women had to adapt themselves to one particular vogue. Now most of us can look attractive without ignoring our personality. One thing is certain—that the fashions of today are not arbitrary. If at the present moment a woman applies to a fashion expert, it is no longer to ask what is most in vogue, but rather what is most appropriate for her. A concrete instance of the adaptability of the new fashions may be seen in the new pannier drapings. Some designers drape the panniers very low and others drape them very high over the hips. In Beer's exhibition most of the panniers were placed high. This effect is very becoming to a tall and slim woman, but if the short or middle-sized woman wishes to wear a pannier, she may have it draped somewhat longer and still be in style. Polonaise Gives Long Line POLONISE GIVES LONG LINE. And the polonaise, too, does not follow one certain line. A designer, or dressmaker with initiative, has the opportunity to arrange it variously. It is especially adaptable for the heavy set woman, as draperies on the polonaise effect always give long, graceful lines and lend height. No doubt while bustles are not generally approved of, some tall, willowy girl may succeed in looking well in one. But is it not to be sincerely hoped that the majority of women will ignore them? In place of the bustle they may avail themselves of the many original draperies and arrangements of flouces. For washable summer dresses, ruffies are particularly practical and pretty, especially when they are made of the new embroidered crepe, net or volle. The tall woman can well afford to drape them straight around the skirt. The fashionable sag toward the back, however, may be easily obtained by the placing of the flouces on the skirt. Normal Waistline. It is true that some of the leading designers have shown a few small waisted frocks. But it is safe to forecast that their vogue will not survive. More and more the woman of today, both here and abroad, is finding outdoor recreation a necessity. Naturally this develops a normal waistline and also a healthy contempt for the immodest fashions of the past, such as extraordinary wide hips and high busts. Wraps Simple and Full There is a display of real creative ability in the new wraps. Undoubtedly they will demand much attention from the fashionable woman. Not only are their styles numerous, but fetching. While they suggest the beginning of the nineteenth century in quaintness, they are more graceful and not so heavy. They are not overburdened with excessive trimming. A novelty is the wrap of two-toned moire. Perhaps because moire is fashionable this season, or because it is now made in tones of two colors, the fabric seems to stand out as something new. Coats made of moire are likely to hang very loose and full from the shoulders. They suggest the pellisse of the latter part of the eighteenth century. Of course, in designing outer garments the couturiers have in mind this season's tunics, panniers and bustles, which must be covered by the coats. In Two-Toned Moire. An interesting wrap made of two-toned moire in emerald green and old blue is trimmed around the neck, bottom and sleeves with broad ruffles. The head of the ruffle is finished off with a pinked double box plait of the same material. Because of its simplicity, this wrap excels in distinction. Another fascinating idea is a wrap of nattier blue in heavy gagardine. It is lined with a cream colored, shirred chiffon, with headings at the top and bottom. The coat is made simply and is beautifully cut. Tacked together at the back of the neck, the rest of the material of the wide back hangs over in the shape of a hood, displaying the shirred chiffon lining. At the end of the hood hangs a huge blue jet tassel. It is easy to imagine how pretty this same model would look in green, or red with a lining of canary yellow. The jet tassel in a red or rich green to correspond with the coat might prove even more effective than in the nattier blue. Printed chiffons are used successfully for a great many purposes. Wraps made of white crepe lined and trimmed with such chiffon can be used for a great many occasions. While these wraps look pretty with white dresses, they may also be worn with gowns of pastel shades. Interstellar Space. That interstellar space is not absolute void, but is partly filled with particles of matter, however small or invisible, is the theory that an American astronomer has evolved through the study of comets. His theory is based upon the fact that all bodies fall at the same rate in a vacuum, but in the open air lighter bodies are retarded by friction and fall at a slower rate. If interstellar space were a vacuum, all stars, comets and planets would keep the M. Model of gray eatin with new draped effect. Vest of white silk with waist finished with plush edging. Rather curiously, some of the new outing coats are fashioned upon the style of the misses' low belt dresses. With their new rippled flare and sash they possess lines becoming both to short and to tall women. Rah-rah cloth is a popular fabric for sporting coats, and it combines prettily with other materials. Serviceable Spring Frocks. Just at present we all face the problem of selecting street clothes for spring that shall be both pretty and practical. The number of fabrics shown complicates the problem. Of all the materials, however, three seem to be particularly fitted for all around wear—serge, silk plaid and tafeta. Serge frocks are shown trimmed with sashes of Roman silk. Others have entire overskirts and at least half of the blouses constructed of this material. However, the Roman silk has been somewhat used already, and promises to become rather ordinary. A distinctive gown of blue serge, cut in pretty, long lines and adorned with black silk braid, although quieter, expresses more individuality. Roman Silk and Chiffon. The Roman silk can be carried out effectively by using it for an entire gown, with a tunic of chiffon, edged with a band of the silk. The chiffon should be of the predominating color in the silk. A pretty black taffeta gown is one looped widely on each hip and gathered into three soft, graceful puffs in the back. The waist, bloused and lengthened toward the back, is finished off in the center front with a soft Japanese bow. There is a little guipme and collar of white organdle. The bottom of the kimono, three-quarter sleeve is daintly adorned with a double, box-plaited, pinked ruching, from under which protrudes a little white organdle cuff, edged with lace. At this time of the year people who dance are likely to be thinking about new frocks. The old ones may be somewhat claibly, and then one tire of wearing the same frock too often. With the coming of spring many attractive ideas appear for evening gowns. One, for instance, is a dress of almost any colored satin, draped over with net. Several flounces arranged in a bouffant effect and edged with an inch wide silver tineelled ribbon may adorn the skirt. A similar ribbon, only five inches in width, is draped loosely around the belt, crossed in the back, and draped over the flounces on the hips, finishing in an artistically knotted loop rather low over one side. Wreaths made of small June rosebuds and forget-me-nots, when placed over rose, blue or white chiffon, or over black velvet, adorn an evening gown most attractively. Such a garniture of chiffon and flowers can be easily arranged over a gown already worn. Chiffon does not always require an expert to drape it. Almost any woman with an artistic sense can use it to help herself out of a difficulty. Why Gerkl Returned Maxim Gorki's intimate friends in Italy say that the Russian writer practically returned to his native country to die. Gorki is said to be in the last stages of consumption and his death is perhaps a question of months, perhaps days. The doctors who attended him during the last two months at Capri and Naples gave up his recovery as hopeless and suggested to his companion, Mme. Andreyewa, that he return to Russia. She then persuaded the writer to accept the pardon granted him by the Russian government. Smoke Nuisances Bill—This paper says that Denver is preparing drastic laws to deal with smoke nuisance. Jill—From this distance it is hard to tell if this will affect the women who smoke cigarettes or the gentleman who smoke stogies. same relative position and speed. But if it were not a vacuum, the lighter, celestial bodies, such as comets, would tend to be retarded by friction and fall behind the larger and denser bodies. This retarding would be most noticeable at the part of the comet's orbit which is farthest from the sun, and the comet would tend to change its movement at this point and assume an individual direction. This hypothesis seems to be borne out by his observations—Popular Mechanics. CAP and BELLS Pennsylvania Congressman Gives Neighbor Legal Advice Concerning Chicken Killed by Former's Dog. When Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania was a struggling young lawyer in his home town a neighbor entered his office one day and asked: "What could I do if another man's dog entered by yard and killed one of my chickens?" Mr. Palmer replied that the damage done could be collected from the owner of the dog. "Well," said the man, "since it was your dog, you may as well pay me the worth of the chicken, about a dollar, Mr. Palmer." Mr. Palmer smiled as he handed the man the amount named, and said: "Now, as I have paid all that I owe you, don't you think it only fair you settle up that matter of the little bill you owe me?" "But," protested the neighbor, "I don't owe you a penny." "Ah," smiled Mr. Palmer, "don't you Kindly pay me $5 for the legal advice which I gave you concerning the loss of your chicken." Perfect Treasure After addressing a woman's cooking club a famous lecturer was besieged by the members, who questioned him about his own household and about the kitchen in particular. "Are you satisfied with your cook?" some one asked him. "Yes, indeed," was the reply. "Is she economical?" "Very." "Can she bake pies and bread?" "The best in the land." "Is she neat about her work?" "As tidy as a pin and as attractive in appearance as one would care to see." "How about her disposition?" "I think it is about perfect." "Huh!!" exclaimed one of the matrons, who had been having trouble with her cook. "It's a wonder you don't marry the girl." With a satisfied smile the lecturer replied: "That's exactly what I did."
