SMASHES WINDOW AND GRABS VALUABLE GEMS YOUNG MAN BARS SHOP DOOR BEFORE HE TAKES $15,000 WORTH OF DIAMONDS. Thief Is Pursued by Few Persons but He Manages to Make His Escape in Crowd Hurrying Along Street. New York City.—A tall young man, wearing a yellow raincoat and a dark Fedora hat pulled down over his eyes, stopped in front of Rosenthal's curiosity shop on Broadway at 6:30 o'clock in the evening, glanced into the window at a tray containing $15,000 worth of uncut diamonds, and then, paying no attention to the throngs of people hurrying by in the heavy rain, calmly adjusted an iron bar across the doorway of the shop, ran a chain through the door handles and fastened it around the bar with a padlock, locking door from the outside. stop them. After running for a few yards the man shoved the tray inside his raincoat and was lost in the crowd. It was found later that he had dashed into the hallway of the Sheridan building, leading from Broadway to 6th-av, tied the door handles together behind him and sped on to 6th-av. NOTED PATIENT IS DEAD WOMAN OPERATED ON TWENTY-FOUR TIMES, THE LAST ONE PROVING FATAL. New York City—The case of a remarkable patient was discussed by surgeons at the German skin and cancer hospital in reports of the death in that institution of Mrs. Mary Steffen Wilson, 30 years old. Within six years Mrs. Wilson underwent 23 operations, the twenty-fourth proving fatal. Mrs. Wilson's first operation was caused by a fall in which her spinal column was injured. A year later her son Rowland was born and a second, third and fourth operation followed in quick succession, and finally cancer developed, making the other operations necessary. Boy Escapes Gallows. Harrisburg, Pa.-Luig Deleo, a lad scarcely seventeen years old, was saved from the gallows by Wednesday's recommendation of the state board of pardons that his sentence of death for a murder in Fayette county be commuted to life imprisonment, but Frank Wells, aged 19, convicted with Deleo, must die. The cases were presented together Wednesday, it being represented that the extreme penalty should not be inflicted because of their youth. "Dago Frank" Is Buried. New York City.-Men and women of the underworld, neighborhood shopkeepers and scores of the morbid curious stood in a cold, drizzling rain Wednesday afternoon on the steep, winding hill opposite the home of Mrs. Mary Cirofci while funeral services were being conducted for "Dago Frank" Cirofci, the last of the gunmen. Nearly 100 persons tramped behind the white hearse and the six carriages to St. Raymond's cemetery, Westchester, where ganster was buried. SALUTE U.S.FLAG,OR SEIZUREOFTAMPICO Orders Are Sent by Secretary Daniels to Admiral Badger to Give Mexico. ADMINISTRATION'S STERN ACT Directs Whole Atlantic Fleet to Sail to Mexican Ports—Concensus of Opinion in Washington Is That War Depends Upon Huerta. Washington, D. C.—Events charged with the menace of war followed fast on the heels of the administration order to Admiral Charles Badger to sail with the whole available Atlantic fleet to Tampico. Told to Salute Flag. 1—Secretary Daniels sent his chief of staff, Admiral Fiske, to Hampton Roads with orders directing Badger to give Mexico 24 hours to salute the United States flag. If Huerta fails to obey this summons, the seizure of Tampico will follow. 2—At the state department it was announced that arms had been issued to Americans in Mexico City. 3—The consensus of opinion in the capital is that war now depends upon Huerta. If the grim ruler of Mexico stands firm and demands salute and recognition in return for each salute and recognition that he gives the United States, then, say the leaders, war will follow. These same leaders now believe that Huerta will stand firm. Tense Cabinet Meeting. President Wilson's order to Secretary Daniels to lose the Atlantic fleet under the command of Badger came at the close of a tense and exciting cabinet meeting. The object of this is to enforce the demand on the Mexican government by Admiral Mayo for apology, unequivocal and unconditional, for the arrest of his marines and the insult to the American flag at Tampico. Immediately following the order to rush the ships to Tampico it was decided to send Admiral Bradley J. Fiske, chief of staff of the navy department, to meet Admiral Badger at Hampton Roads or on the Arkansas, his flagship, which is at sea near Hampton Roads to deliver to the secret orders of the administration. The mobilization of the fleet and the dispatch of the Hancock from New Orleans with nearly 1,000 marines means that Admiral Badger, if he be obliged to use force at Tampico, will have, besides his guns, an army of 12,000 sailors and marines to send ashore and to hold whatever he takes. Administration's Orders Secret. Neither the White House nor the state department nor the navy department will reveal the orders now on the way to Badger by Admiral Fiske. It is learned, however, that these orders are substantially as follows: On arrival at Tampico the commanding officer of the fleet will send officers ashore to demand immediate salute to the American flag by reason of the arrest of marines and the indignity put upon the navy and its flag. If the general commanding the garrison of Tampico refuses to comply, the officers will withdraw, but will notify the federalals that they are to have 24 hours to consider and at the same time notice will be given to the non-combatants to withdraw from the city. At the expiration of the time limit set by Admiral Badger the admiral will proceed to land his marines, and if they are resisted, they will be landed under cover of the shells of the Chester, Dolphin, Des Moines and any of the light draft vessels which may have arrived at the time of the demand. KILLED AND WOUNDED ON BOTH SIDES NUMBER IN NEIGHBORHOOD OF 3,000. Juarez, Mexico.—A nine-day battle, possibly more desperate than that at Gomez Palacio and Torreon, has resulted in a victory to the rebels under Gen. Villa, according to an official report made public here. The combined rebel force came upon the reunited federals, said in the last days of the battle to have numbered 15,000, at San Pedro de las Colonias, state of Coahulua, 40 miles east of Torreon. The killed and wounded on both sides, it is said, will number in the neighborhood of 3,000. Rebels assert they have taken 700 prisoners. The federal army is said to have included the Torreon garrison, led intact out of that city in retreat by Gen. Velasco 2, the soldiers of Gen. Maas, Gen. Hidalgo, Gen. De Moure and two other generals. Seven Die in Apartment Five Boston, Mass.-Seven persons were killed, 16 seriously injured, 21 families, totaling 15 individuals, were endangered in an early morning fire that wrecked the Melvin, a five-story brick apartment house at the corner of Commonwealth and Long-avs. Nearly all of the suites were small kitchenette apartments in which the occupants were trapped as the flames raced through each story. Men, women and children were standing on window ledges shrieking for help when the firemen arrived. CONGRESSMAN SHARP Representative William G. Sharp of Ohio was considered for the vacant post of ambassador to Russia, but the czar's government objected to the appointment because Mr. Sharp voted for the abrogation of the treaty with Russia regulating passports. 'DAGO FRANK'S' LAST WORDS TO WARDEN SAYS, BEFORE DEATH, THAT "GYP," "LEFTY" AND VALLON FIRED FATAL SHOTS. "So Far as I Know, Becker Had Nothing to Do With the Case," Gunman Also Declared; "It Was a Gamblers' Fight." Albany, N. N.-Shortly before "Dago Frank" Cirofci went to the chair in Sing Sing prison he told Warden Clancy that "Gyp the Blood" Horowitz, "Letty Loule" Rosenberg and Harry Vallon, an informer, fired the shots which killed Herman Rosenthal, for which crime the four gunmen patrol. "So far as I know, Becker had nothing to do with the case," the gunman also declared. "It was a gamblers' fight." Cirofci averred he was five miles away when the crime was committed, and that "Whitey Lewis" Seidenshner, although present at the scene of the shooting, did not fire any of the shots. In Original Plot. Cirofci made no attempt, however, to deny that he was included in the original plot to slay Rosenthal, even admitting that two nights before the gambler was slain he went with two other gangsters to look for their intended victim. They were frightened away from Rosenthal on that occasion by men they thought were detectives. The condemned man also admitted that early on the night of the actual killing he was in the gray "murder car" with the gunmen, but he insisted that he left them before they shot the gambler. He did not explain precisely why he left the other gunmen just prior to the shooting. Both Supt. Riley and Warden Clancy expressed the opinion that nothing contained in Cirofci's statement would have any effect on the second trial of former Police Lieut. Charles Becker. Mr. Clancy said that the statement was made only after relatives of the condemned man had pleaded for the truth. The warden added that he had no desire to make the statement a legal record and therefore did not take "Dago Frank's" words down in writing and had not placed him under oath. Mother Urged Confession. The statement, which was made verbally in the principal keeper's office about 4 o'clock Monday morning, was the result of the insistent plea by Cirofceli's mother and his sister for the truth. They had been here and made an unsuccessful appeal to the governor to save the prisoner's life. Returning to the prison near dawn, they were met by the warden and taken to the office, where they met Cirofceli. Mr. Clancy came to Albany Monday and told his story to Supt. B. Riley of the state prison department and Gov. Glynn. The warden first issued a formal statement rehearsing a part of what Cirofceli told him and later added details, which included Cirofceli's admission that he and other gangsters had sought Rosenthal two nights before the slaying. Only "Mister" in Army Dies Newport, R. I.-John T. Freeman, said to be the only person in the United States army with the official title of "mister," dropped dead at Fort Adams, where he was bandmaster of the Seventh coast artillery corps. "Roor" Woman Has Wealth Sharon, Pa. — Searched Monday, after being taken to the county home, Mrs. Charlotte Grummel, aged Sharon woman, was found to have $8,000 sewed in her clothes. The money was in bills of $20 and under. Mrs. Grummel, a widow, had been looked upon as poor. For months she had been a common figure in downtown offices and the police station, where she told imaginary stories of persecution. Recently she was adjudged insane and was committed to the home. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Lindsay Winslow, born a slave, for 42 years a messenger in the war department, body servant to a succession of commanding generals of the army, and known to every officer in the military service, died from a stroke of apoplexy at his home in Washington. Messenger Lindsay was fifty-nine years old, having been appointed in the government service when a youth of seventeen years. Lindsay was born in 1855, the property of the Temple family of Fredericksburg, Va. Miss Temple, one of the daughters of the family, who now lives in Richmond, Va., never came to Washington without calling on the old family slave, whom she held in great esteem and watched over. It was during the Civil war that Lindsay first made acquaintance with the army, with which he was to be associated for the rest of his life. In 1865, when ten years old, he used to sell ples to the soldiers of the army, encamped near Fredericksburg. One of the veterans of that campaign, now an official of the war department, tells of an attack of indigestion which he charges against a bit of pastry bought from Lindsay. A year ago Lindsay made his first appearance as an actor. In the role of himself, playing the part of a messenger to the commanding officer of the army, in a playlet written by Captain McCoy of the army, he appeared when the play was presented at the dinner of the Carabao society. Lindsay saw service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Detached from the war department he accompanied General Bell, in command of the army of pacification, and was his personal attendant throughout the campaign. Appointed a laborer in the war department July 1, 1872. Lindsay was given a fireman's job November 1 the same year. July 17, 1879, he was made a messenger. Transferred the door of the adjutant general of the army, at that time the commanding officer of the military service, November 4, 1879. Lindsay was given the rank of an assistant messenger because of the change of service. June 16, 1833, he became a messenger at $840 a year. When the office of adjutant general of the army lost its directing influence, and the office of chief of staff was created, Lindsay was transfered from the one office to the other, maintaining his dignity and responsibilities. He was relieved for temporary duty in Cuba October 6, 1906, when he accompanied General Bell. He resumed his duties as messenger January 4, 1907. Lindsay served as messenger and personal attendant to every adjutant general of the army from incumbency of General Drum to that of General Corbin, and of every chief of staff of the army since that time. Not many years ago Russia was a strong rival of the United States in the production of petroleum. Now the Russian empire yields only about 68 per cent as much old as California alone, and not much more than Oklahoma. Two carpenters and a plumber from England have recently been traveling in Belgium. Vocational scholarships were awarded to them, by means of which they are investigating old and new methods of house construction. The colored man in America has gone through the same experiences as the white man. He gave 250 years of unrequited toll to build up the nation. In the Revolutionary war Crispus Attucks, a mulatto, was the first man to shed his blood that white men might be really free. One hundred and nine of the 425 dauntless sailors who fought with Perry at the battle of Lake Erie were colored men. Nearly 200,000 colored soldiers fought with white men in the slaveholders' rebellion in defense of their common country. In the Spanish-American war the colored troopers did their duty splendidly at El Caney. From a little farm owned by John Jones, a former slave in Shelby county, Tenn., has come to the Supreme court of the United States the question of whether former slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters who likewise were in servitude. The supreme court of Tennessee had held that ex-slaves have no inheritable blood. One of John Jones' brothers has taken the case to the United States Supreme court seeking a reversal. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the laws have to do with the home in some way. The United States has become the heaviest buyer of South African diamonds. A bill providing for women judges in the children's court has been introduced in the New York legislature. Margaret E. McNamara has been appointed chief matron of the Industrial School for Girls at Delaware, Ohio. A woman lives in Philadelphia who has seen three centuries; who has been an eye witness of the changes they have brought; who has herself been most thrillingly affected by them. Her name is Mrs. Kate Whitehurst, and her century and more of life was most of it lived as a slave in the South long years before there was a dream of questioning seriously the rights of slavery to exist. Her home is at 2237 Oxford street with her daughter, Mrs. Caroline Mitchell. She is still able to move about, although feebly, for she suffered a serious nervous shock a few weeks ago, when fire broke out right in her bedroom, and she was saved by policemen when she was not very far from suffocation. She is known to be in her one hundred and fourteenth year, but she may be somewhat older, and one estimate gave her age as one hundred and seventeen. But the recollection of her age by a daughter of her old master in the South, based on the record in her sales papers as a slave, is that she was born at the end of the eighteenth century, and she may be the senior by a few months of Aunt Mahala Ayers, whose one hundred and fourteenth birthday celebration has been planned as an event this year at the Home for Aged Colored People. Mrs. Whitehurst's own memory of dates in her long life carries her back as far as 1811, when the great comet, from whose year the most famous wines of Europe have been dated, was visible and gravely at frightening all over the world. "I saw the great star fall," she says, when she refers to that overshadowing event in her childhood, the one thing which could leave an indefinite impression on the mind of a girl slave not yet in her teens, when all the ignorant, startled throng around her lived in terror of the great star's fall. She still sees herself, standing in the midst of other slaves, at night under the soft southern sky, staring up at the awful portent and wondering, while her elders in that doubly hapless horde argued its consequences of pestilence and war. Hampton girls are taught to do plain hand and machine sewing, cut, fit and make dresses, trim hats, weave rugs and select house furnishings. Tuskegee institute was opened July 4, 1881, in a rented church, a mere shanty, with 30 pupils and one teacher. To bring a school with such a beginning as that up to what it is now, and to gain for it a more than national reputation in the lifetime of one man, is a marvellous work. Back of it all is a master mind. There are scores of well-trained teachers, preachers (from Phelps Hall Bible training school), farmers, mechanics, trained nurses, seamstresses and good housekeepers sent out every years from this school, carrying with them the spirit of Tuskegee to uplift the race. Wyoming mines and oil wells in 1912 had an output valued at $37,000,000, and live stock gave the state's ranchers revenues totaling more than $35,000,000. Gas City, Kan., has a population of 1,200, but abolished the office of city marshal for the reason that there has been nothing for him to do in a long time.

SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1914. Do not get excited—there will be no war with Mexico. The "watchful waiting" policy of the Wilson democratic administration and President Huerta of Mexico will never permit it. Mark our prediction. Every Afro-American in the state should feel it a DUTY to sign a Senator Joseph Benson Foraker nominating petition. No class of Americans need a representative in the U. S. Senate, half as much as we need him there. The Gazette is the first paper, daily weekly or otherwise, in this section of the country, to publish the beautiful Panama-Pacific Exposition illustrations, given last week, and several weeks ago, and should receive credit for the same. We trust our readers appreciate the general news The Gazette gives them also on page 1, and its special features (woman's and sport's departments and humorous items) on page 4, each week. If anybody doubts that the Republican party is coming back, let him study the election in the Seventh New Jersey Congressional district on the 7th inst. It was one of the most pronounced condemnations of a national administration in any special election in the history of American politics. A most gratifying feature was its demonstration of the reunion of the two wings of the Republican party. The enrollment just completed in Pennsylvania shows that Republicans all over the State are returning to the party—in many counties the figures showing that three-fourths of the men who voted for Roosevelt now list themselves as straight Republicans. A fair estimate the State over is that the Republican enrollment is almost twice the vote given to Taft in 1912, while the third Party enrollment is much less than half the vote given to Roosevelt. The indications are that in the next election the Republicans will carry Pennsylvania. "FREE TRADE" ENGLAND. There is a general belief in the United States that as England is not a "protectionist" country, there are no custom duties on imports, particularly as to food. But this is an error Whitaker's Almanac (London) for 1814 gives the following list of articles on which there are import duties: Beer, cards (playing), chicory chloral hydrate, chloroform, cocoa coffee, collodian, ether, ethyl, fruit—dried, or preserved with sugar, glucoose, molasses, motor spirit, saccharin, in soap in the manufacture of which spirit has been used, spirits and "strong waters", liqueurs and cordials, perfumed spirits, sugar, blacking containing sugar, candied or dried peel, caramel, dried cherries, nuttley, sugar cocoanut, confectionery, licorice, crystallized fruits and flowers, canned and bottled fruit, ginger preserved in sugar, marzipan, sweetened milk, Nestle's milk food, soy (a sauce), preserved tamarins, tea, tobacco, wine. Then there are many excise duties and licenses; for instance, auctioneers, dealers in playing cards, "sweeted" (confectionery) have to pay; and there is a tax on patent medicines. In the United Kingdom the receipts from customs in 1913 amounted to £23,517,485—about 10% of the pretty considerable for a "free trade" country AGAINST SEGREGATION. Another high court has decided against the un-American policy of segregating whites and Negroes. This time the decision comes from North Carolina, being the supreme court's declaration of invalidity against an ordinance enacted by the city of Winston-Salem. Baltimore has tried segregation repeatedly; two different ordinances have been thrown out by the courts and a third will soon be subject to judicial action. Norfolk has attempted the same action and a test there is expected soon. The policy of segregation does not appeal to the open-minded. At the same time there should be consideration felt for those who feel the grind of the condition these ordinances are designed to relieve. It is no mere theory which confronts many of these communities. But whose would segregation lead to if indulged in at will by the majority in a community? If a council has power to crowd Negroes together by themselves, what could there be to prevent a majority enforcing segregation upon any other race, group or creed whose standing in the community might not be the highest? Virtually these questions appear to have been raised by the North Carolina court. In the long run, it is probable that the problem which a segregation ordinance is designed to solve will take care of itself. At any rate, it is not well to adopt a remedy which, in the last analysis, is worse than the original affliction. — Cleveland Daily Plain Dealer. A SIGNIFICANT REPUBLICAN VICTORY. On the 7th inst. Republicans won a sweeping, notable and very significant victory in the Seventh New Jersey Congressional district, when Dow H. Drunkker was elected to succeed the late Robert L. Bremner, Democrat. The Democratic candidate was James J. O'Bryne, and he was personally endorsed by President Wilson and received every possible support from the national administration. Secretary Bryan stumping the district in his behalf. Next to the victory in the Republicans carrying a strong Democratic district in the President's own state, the most notable feature of the election was the utter collapse of the Progressive party. In 1912 the district went Democratic by 3,324; at the special election on the 7th inst. it went Republican by about 5,000 plurality. The Republican vote made an actual gain of 3,803; the Democratic vote showed an actual loss of 4,847. In 1912 the Progressive vote in the district for Congressman was 4,746; on the 7th inst. it was only 600—a falling off of 4,146. The principal issue was the tariff. In every respect this is the greatest and most indicative Republican victory since the great defeat of 1912. K. OF P. ANNIVERSARY Editor Mitchell Presides and Councilman Cummings the Orator of the Evening—5,000 Attend. Richmond, Va.—The 34th anniversary of the K. P. and Court of Calanthe of this state, was held here, recently, and was attended by 5,000 persons. John Mitchell, Jr., G. C. of the state, presided, while Councilman Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore, Md., was the principal speaker. Attorney Dr. James spoke on "The Power of Fraternal Organization" in the Uplift of the Afro-American, and said, in part: "One of the cardinal virtues which a fraternal organization instills is loyalty to and pride in itself. Every organization thinks it is the best of all. Its members cherish its history, glory in the achievements, worship its heroes and their good deeds. As it applauds the virtue should inspire up to race pride, it accomplishes much—which has not pride in itself. A pride which gives birth to a determination that the race as a race shall accomplish something of merit to itself; a pride which savors EDITOR JOHN MITCHELL, Richmond, Va. Planet. of devotion and loyalty to each and every member of the race; a pride which will under no circumstance or condition waver in the support and advocacy of the interest of the race. A pride—coupled with that courage which makes for all that is best in the development of a race—such a pride is begged and developed in the successful operation of our fraternal organizations. "Fraternal organizations are kept intact and thoroughly cemented by the confidence reposed in their members. They are free and openhearted confidence. Our loyalty—a confidence thoughtless in every way of fear or distrust. Without this confidence no fraternal organization can exist—without it no leadership can be had and respected and without competent leadership no great good can be accomplished. "Fraternal organizations are the essence of helpfulness—one of the motives which accounts for their very existence is the desire for their members to become helpful one to the other—helpful when times go well and especially when misfortune, sickness or death may come. Times come when power and wealth are helpless to save us from impending danger and the helping hand of a brother can only supply the need. It is this spirit which is fostered by the fraternal organization and it is this spirit which should appeal to us in our onward march. Who knows the great good which would follow the practical exercise of a firm resolution to be of service one to the other, no matter in however an humble capacity." After the exercises a banquet was tendered Mr. Cummings at the Pythian Castle and was attended by the leading professional and business men of the city. NEW TRIAL FOR JACK JOHNSON.

Woman's Board of Panama-Pacific International Exposition Making Elaborate Plans to Welcome "The World and His Wife" at San Francisco In 1915. ONE of the most important departments of the Woman's Board of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition concerns itself with the organization of the women of California. It is hoped above all else that the women of the state will view the world's gathering of 1915, all the preparations for it and every phase of its aftermath from the larger outlook—the one that takes definite cognizance of the fact that the Exposition exploits the Western Coast, of which San Francisco is but a part; the one that recognizes not the fact that the state will turn a turmoil benefit the people. Toward that realization the Woman's Board is spreading this universal idea through the state by the organization which is now almost completed. Each county is treated as a unit, the plan of organization being as simple as possible. Then, as a whole, the women of the state will stand back of every movement that makes for the success of the Exposition. With the work of and for 1915 done, the Woman's Board advocates permanent organization for years to come to get every possible benefit by welcoming and keeping it. Because the city and county government are one, the problem of organization differs somewhat from that of its sister counties. In the other counties the work is divided into geographical districts, each with a chairman responsible to the county chairman. This method of organization could not obtain in San THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM MRS. ERNEST S. SIMPSON OF THE WOMAN'S BOARD. Francisco because of the compactness of the population and because the city and county are coextensive. Therefore the women of the "home county" have proceeded upon a somewhat different plan of formation, but are governed by the general will of the people. They have leading benefits accrue to members of the county auxiliaries. Firstly, they share in the patriotic pleasure and duty of dispensing the state's hospitality, which is world famous. They will, in turn, assist in the receiving lines at the leaves, assemblies, reception and bails which will make memorable the social phase of the Exposition. Secondly, they will have the privilege of the Auxiliary tea and rest rooms in the California Host Building, the especial domain of the Women's Board. They will also assist in the distress fervor of preparation, the sensation dear to the heart of woman, with her housewife instincts. The Woman's Board, as a unit, will furnish, equip and administer the California Host Building. Mrs. Ernest S. Simpson of the Woman's Board is chairman of the Organization Committee, and Mrs. E. C. Wright is chairman of the San Francisco Auxiliary. To augment the membership of her organization, she proceeds along the same lines as other county chairmen. The result is a balanced, well rounded, many sided body that is truly representative of San Francisco womanhood. From these and from the other auxiliaries who serve on the juries of awards and the institution of the Directors of the Exposition to all those who serve in the services of women where their experience and will have a distinct value. When a woman becomes a member of the county auxiliary Mrs. Wright assures where her interests lie and what are her talents, tastes and attainments, with the view of intelligently selecting hostesses to act for the various conventions which will attend the Exposition. If a woman incline toward science, rather than art, then she will be chosen to assist at the receptions incident to the scientific conventions and vice versa. The San Francisco Auxiliary stands as the hostess auxiliary to all the fifty-seven other counties of the state, meeting and entertaining women from the interior when they come to the Exposition City during the time of preparation. In turn the women of this great group of counties have combined to extend the hospitality of the West to "The World and His Wife" when they visit California in 1915 and to work side by side with the men in the preparation for the Exposition.

BETTER THAN ANY LECTURE Colonel's Method of Rebuking Young Officers Probably More Effective Than Severity Would Be. The colonel of a German regiment on garrison duty near a lively city was very much annoyed by the way his young officers went about town in civilian clothes—contrary to the regulations of the service, the articles of war, and the spirit of Prussian militarism. He spoke very sharply about it and threatened the extremest penalties if anybody were caught doing it again. The warned served for a time—at least the offenders were more careful. Presently, however, two young lieutenants took a chance. They silenced away into town in modish afternoon clothes of the latest English cut, with top hats on and the rest. Suddenly they ran into the colonel. The next minute they had vanished into a grocer's shop. One minute more and the door of the shop opened. "Good afternoon, gentlemen," said the colonel. The pair stood before their superior silent and dismayed while a grim smile spread over the soldier's face. "Young lady," said the colonel, ad dressing the shopgirl, "give me two five-cent cakes of soap—and wrap them separately." The girl obeyed and the colonel gravely gave her ten cents. Then he turned to the young officers and handed each of them a cake. "Here, gentlemen," he said with a grin, "just so you shouldn't be put to any expense on my account. Good day." And he turned and strode out of the shop—New York Evening Post. **Strong Resemblance.** "Say, Billie," said Tommy, "do you believe in Santa Claus?" "You bet I do!" returned Billie. "I've seen him. I peeked while he was fillin' my stockin' last year." "What did he look like?" asked "What did he look like?" asked Tommy.

E. corner of Cedar Ave., and E. 30th St., and will open a drug store at an early date. Mr. Gray is an eastern man who is thoroughly interested in and friendly toward the race.

John H. Cisco, age 69, of 1854 Central Ave., a veteran of the war of the rebellion, and one of our oldest residents, died, Saturday, after months of illness. Mr. Cisco was for years in the government's local service; was a member of the Army for a session or two; and was in the employ of railroads with headquarters here, for years. He was for many years active in Red Cross Commandery and minor Masonic organizations. The funeral, Wednesday, from Antioch Baptist church, was largely attended, the pastor officiating, with the Madison County Masonic lodge of Detroit, a daughter, Mrs. Sadie Bolden of Chicago, other relatives, and many friends here and throughout the country, to mourn his demise. The petition for divorce filed by Mrs. Alberta L. Wills against J. Walter Wills was heard by Judge Addams, April 14th. After a thorough examination of the charge of gross neglect of duty contained in the petition, the court refused to grant a divorce to Mrs. Wills. Mr. Wills and his attorney, the Hon. John P. Green, were present a part of the time only, during the hearing. Mr. Wills was not sworn and gave no testimony offered, as was his agreement of alliance, release his interest in all real estate owned by himself and Mrs. Wills (excepting his place of business), and all his interest in any real estate owner by her. Her failure to procure a divorce, however, ended the negotiation. Mr. Wills says he will continue to pay alimony to Mrs. Wills for her support as he has, since their separation—Adv. 2t Another campaign to suppress caricature of Jews on the stage and in moving pictures was begun recently by the anti-defamation committee of the B'nai B'rith, of which Safety Director Benesch is vice president. Benesch ordered Chief Rowe to suppress a film entitled "The Missing Diamond." Benesch said another appeal urging the suppressing of the stage Jew will be made to managers of burlesque houses. "It doesn't make any difference whether we have authority or not, if the 'Missing Diamond' film is found the police will not permit it to attack the show that deserved. A battle-wide campaign on the same line has been undertaken by the Anti-Detainment league. The organization seeks to abolish unjust discrimination and ridicule of any sect or body of men. Rabbi M. J.

DEUWELL, A FIGHTER Will Win His Civil Rights Case Again In the State Supreme Court— Are Our Columbus People Supporting Him? * Columbus, O. — The Ohio supreme court was asked last week, to pass on the question of whether a confectionery establishment may refuse to sell soda water to an Afro-American, by George and Fred Foerster, proprietors of a confectionery store here. They were sued by Graham Deewell on a second trial gave Deewell a judgment for $50. On the first trial a verdict for the confectioners was given. The Foersters assert the Ohio civil rights" statute was not violated by their refusal to serve soda water to Deuwell and his family, and of course, the confectioners' civil law was imposed in 1894 by Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, editor of The Gazette, when a member of the Ohio Legislature, the first time. It has been passed on a number of times by the Ohio Supreme Court in the last twenty years and pronounced good law every time. The Foersters confectionery es- tertainment "as expressed in the statute. That is why the common pleas court gave judgment on a second trial, the first trial being held in a justice of the peace's court. Mr. Spriggs, who was very self-important, made an absurd offer for Mr. Timkins' extra lot in East Orange. He allowed a day for Mr. Timkins to think it over; then called again.

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: We find that the Home on E. 129th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the 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, with officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks painted. 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. We, your committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons: 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 multiply of such institutions simply increase the public burden an must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeciably undemocratic and unchristian policy of segregation and therefore, become the entering wedge of "jimcrowism," so detestable to all self-specting Negroes, the world over. 4. Such a step is plainly and unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backwards in the shiory and prescription, and a practical annexation 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 D. Lyman Abbott, and our own Dy. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Report No. 3. We, your committee, recommend that this Alliance readform 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 Whitney and The Cleveland Benevolent Association. Respectfully submitted, ELAM A. WHITE, H. C. BAILEY, CHAS. BUNDY, G. Y. CLARK, G. Y. WHITEBURER. The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. 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 2333 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. 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 Girls' Home, opened at Warrenville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schafer, 10214 Hampden Ave., N. E. In the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "jim-crow" Mt. Pleasant children's home? OPPOSED TO "JIM-CROW" HOME. At a recent meeting 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 in local institutions for all children and are more affluent and secure 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 protection of children, in 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, place ourselves squarely on record and opposing such a harmful movement, and as determined to use every influence to wipe it out. The statement being made, to the effect, that the alleged "Children's Home" in Mt. Pleasant, has been promised $1,000 in event of its existing one year, only aggravates the situation and, if true, but shows the determination of prejudiced persons (white) in this community to establish and maintain, if possible, this segregation attempt and consequent color-line.

RECENT MARVEL IS THE KINETOPHONE Wizard Edison Still Adding to His Wonder Record of Inventions. VOCAL ACCESSORY TO MOVIES Latest Idea in Thia Line Has Been Made an Unqualified Success— Will Allow Opera to Be Pre- Thomas A. Edison, whose inventions have for more than a third of a century held the world breathless and made the "Tales of the Arabian Night" seem commonplace by comparison, has surpassed his own wonder record of electric light, photonography, fluoroscope, Kinetoscope and countless other marvels by his latest magical invention—the kinetophone. Youngest of all the wonderful children of that wonderful brain, but requiring the most of mechanical ingenuity, the most of long sustained and determined effort, it seems destined most of all to preserve for him his title of "The Wizard of Menic Park." What is a kinetophone, anyhow? That was the question that bothered your correspondent, hearing vague rumor of this new Edison wonder and proceeding to investigate it. He knew it had something to do with "making the movies talk," but he had seen of recent years many titile failures of phonographic and vocal accessories striving to accomplish this for these same "movies." Just then there burst upon the ear the opening strains of "Il Trovatore." Not in the harsh, metallic timbre of the phonograph, but clean, clear and resonant, as from an orchestra, manytoned and perfectly balanced. The next instant there flashed upon the screen the opening scene of the great opera. From the crowded stage came the full-throated voices of the singers, blended in perfect harmony with the orchestra. Rising, swelling and sinking in cadence, all in faultless rhythm with every motion and gesture of those pic- 1 Thomas A. Edison. ture singers, the mingled music of voice and orchestra floated forth from that picture stage in an illusion that held the visitor spellbound. Not a false or a harsh note! Not a single ill-timed movement, nor a belated gesture from a single one of all that life-like throng, gathered there on the phantom stage; but all in perfect keeping—perfect beyond perfection—with the strains of voices and instruments! "Marvelous?" whispered the visitor to himself. "Till have to get something stronger than that weak word to tell this tale!" Sentiment and Humor at Movies. "Where we went last night," said a frequenter of moving picture shows, "there was a scene in one of the film showing a man and a girl, young lovers, kissing. She was a pretty girl and he was a fine, manly young fellow, and of course everybody was deeply interested in the picture. But at the precise instant that the lovers' lips met some man in the audience exploded with a gigantic sneeze, whereent the whole house blew up with spontaneous hilarious laughter. "In this picture scene there was a third figure, that of a man who had seen the lovers meeting and who when he saw them kiss turned away from them to smile. He was, to be sure, smiling over the lovers; but as he looked cut on the house at this moment with that smile$^1$ on his face he seemed like a real man smiling in appreciative understanding of what had just happened in the audience. At the sight of his smiling face the audience again blew up. But of course the pictures kept on moving all the time, and in half a minute the audience had once more settled down to look on again at the pictures in the usual quiet." **Scence Carefully Rehearsed.** In the preparation of a moving picture drama each scene is taken up separately, discussed and rehearsed, and when it appears that the performers are thoroughly conversant with the situations and the action, the camera is put in operation, and the scene is photographed. The producer is heard prompting the performers, and if a single error occurs, the entire scene must again be rehearsed and taken over. This is continued until a satisfactory scene is taken. All film manufacturing plants are thoroughly equipped with complete wardrobes for all occasions, and have their own carpenters who put up an interior or an exterior setting at a moment's notice, only to pull it down again in a jiffy to make room for another one, perhaps more glabrate and pretentious. After the picture is taken the film is ready to be developed and is turned over to that department where the invisible images are made to show definite form and the first results are seen in the shape of the negative. After thorough washing and drying the sections are assembled; then the negative is turned over to the printing department, and there the picture is completed ready to be shown to the public. Titles are made and all imperfections are eradicated. Then the photo play is released. An appeal to the Charitable And now moving pictures have been pressed into service as a means of making people charitable. For a long time the Brooklyn Federation of Jewish Charities has been puzzled as to how to interest non-contributors to its many charitable activities. The members of the federation felt sure that many people in Brooklyn would become willing donors if only some idea of the organization's work could be placed before them in a striking and convincing form. At last Benjamin H. Namm, president of the federation, and Max Abelman, assistant secretary, hit upon moving pictures as the solution of the problem. Together they have written a picture play entitled "How the Jews Card for Their Poor," which is intended as a direct appeal to those who have money to spare, even if it be only in small quantities, to loosen their purse strings for the benefit of their less fortunate fellow-beings. The play is to be produced in the near future by the federation. This is the first time a film story has been used as a means of propaganda in communal charitable work. Films Show How to Cast Ballot. As the result of a suffrage law that has just gone into effect, the total electorate in Italy has been increased from four millions to eight or nine millions, and the number of qualified voters in one province alone, that of Catania, has advanced from 41,000 to 140,000. The task of educating this large number of new voters in the method of casting their votes properly is a big one, owing to the fact that few if any of them have ever before exercised the suffrage. To meet this condition moving-picture theaters throughout the district, as well as some of the political organizations, are running films showing the procedure to be followed. This means of educating the public has been so favorably received that similar methods are likely to be adopted for teaching the elements of domestic and personal hygiene.—Popular Mechanics. Child's Quick Recognition. Many unusual things happen in the lives of the photo players. Ruth Stonehouse, a well-known motion picture artist, was returning to her hotel after a day of work at the studio. She entered a street car and seated herself comfortably across the aisle from a child about six years old. The youngster gazed at Ruth in a bewildering way and finally let out a shriek that could be heard a block. "Mother!" the child cried, "that's the girl that was frozen to death in the picture last night," and sure enough it was. Ruth was embarrassed for a few minutes but finally got up, took the child in her arms and told her to come to the studio some day and see her work. The child promised to do so. Educate Child Actors Motion pictures have been used in schools, but a school for children appearing in motion pictures is the newest educational development of the "movies." Many children from New York are employed in Hollywood, Cal., in the studio of a film company, and that their education and that of the children associated with them may not be neglected the company is building a schoolhouse near the studio. It will be conducted as a branch of the public schools of Los Angeles, but will be supported by the film company. Higher Education Educational Motion Pictures Educational. That motion pictures, as educators, find one of their greatest opportunities for usefulness in the realm of literature, is at last conceded even by the most stubborn. Evangeline, Longfellow's beautiful poem, Hugo's Huby Blas, Homer's Odyssey, Oliver Twist, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and Dante's Inferno, offer a wide variety of treatment from which the discriminating student may choose. Millions See Pictures Daily It is not generally known that over 7,000,000 people daily attend motion picture performances. Chicago Takes to the "Movies." Chicago has over 600 photo-play theaters catering to 750,000 and more patrons daily. --- Inventor of the Aeroplane. We would be next to impossible to say who invented the aeroplane. Positions of paramount importance in the art of flying belong to Prof. Samuel P. Langley, M. Ader and Sir Hiram Maxim. They were certainly among the first to boost the art. The first to make a heavier-than-air machine that actually flew with a man were the brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright of Dayton, O. Until the latter part of 1906 the Wright brothers were the only men in the world who could fly. From 1903 to 1906 the Wrights made 160 flights, averaging a mile each; one flight, that of October 5, 1905, being 24 miles in length and lasting 38 minutes. BASEBALL Commenting on the reports of Otis Crendall and Arthur Wilson jumping, Jon B. Foster, secretary of the Giants, says: "Any player who jumps the Giants shows by his action that he does not consider himself of the calliber necessary for a championship team." DUBUC AMONG BIG HURLERS PRETTY O'AT NICE American Girls Among Those of F AGAIN HINT O One of the Pret Johnny Williams, the young Hawaiian pitcher with the Tigers, can do almost as many things with his feet as most people can with their hands. But thus far he hasn't been able to row a boat, shave himself or pitch with his toes. Clyde Milan's new contract with Washington is for one year only. This was at the suggestion of Manager Griffith, who told Milan that he wanted to be free to give the outfield; er a raise next year if he did work to deserve it. --- Second base seemed to be the hoo-doo position of the Detroit, New York and Chicago American league teams last year. All of these clubs expect to have regular men occupy this position the coming summer. Pitcher Lefty McTigue of Baltimore and former Brave, will have to stay out of the game this year. He has a chronic illness dating back to the time he was released by the Braves. He was traded for Briscoe Lord. It seems strange that McGraw is unable to turn out a successful baseball manager. Bresnahan, Bowerman, Dahlen and Tenney having failed, it is up to Robinson, Herzog and McCormick to make good. the good. Max Carey, who led the National league base thieves last season, is out to duplicate the feat. There is hardly a chance of his being supplanted by any of the aspirant recruits the coming season. There is no denying Art Devlin has a fast organization in the Oaks. He has several former big leaguers, and his own experience will go far in leading the coast team to the top of the league. . . . Baseball fans will be glad to hear that Germany Schaefer and Nick Altrock are going to master the tango, so that they can perform on the coaching lines before each game. Walter Maranville, Brave shortstop, has been induced to postpone his wedding until after the ball season. Manager Stallings says bridegrooms are hoodoos to a club. Baltimore in the International league will have, several former big league players on its staff this coming season. Among them are Midkiff, Ball, Daniels and Cree. The Giants are trying out a catcher named Wilson. The new one is Tom and McGraw says he will take the place left vacant by Arthur, who jumped to the Feds. Talking of southpaws, Charley Herzog has two on his staff that are as good as any National league team has. Rube Benton and Earl Yingling are the two portsiders. Pitcher Earl Hamilton is one of the few crack players with the St. Louis Browns. Hamilton is regarded as one of the best southpaw heavens in the American league. Bobby Byrne has already made good as second sacker for the Phils, and Manager Dooin says he'll make Philadelphia fans forget all about Otto Knabe. Pitcher Dick Robertson, turned back to Savannah by Cincinnati, has been sold to the Birmingham club of the Southern league for a price said to be $2,000. Eddie Foster is going like a house afire this year. The speedy midget expe cts to have the best season of his career, to make up for his idleness last year. A gipsy fortune teller recently told Joe Birmingham that he was going to have a lot of luck. Gipsy fortune tellers don't read the sport pages, evi dently. Pitcher Blanding of the Naps says Ty Cobb leads Joe Jackson because he can hit all pitchers. Chief Bender and Jack Warhop have Joe Jackson's goat. Cleveland needs more speed, says Johnny Evers, who certainly ought to know, as he hasn't seen the club but once or twice in the last six or seven years. Tommy O'Connor, the crack shortstop of the Notre Dame team last season, has signed to play with Grand Rapids of the Central league. Ed Konetchy says the Pirates will win the flag this season. And this is his first year with the Buccaneers. Manager Stalling has three Cubans on his team-Gonzales, third baseman, and Lugue and Villigon, pitchers. The Toledo franchise in the Southern Michigan league is said to be owned by Charley Somars. Doc Scanlon, former Brooklyn pitcher, has applied to the national commission for restatement. During his stay in the majors, Eddie Willett won 96 games and lost 72 for the Tigers. DUBUC AMONG BIG HURLERS PITCHER DUBUC OF DETROIT Frank J. Navin, owner of the Detroit Tigers, likes giants for pitchers. The bigger they are the better they suit him. He's got what he wants in this year's crop of hurlers. There are eight six-footers on the Detroit staff, two of them shoot up six feet six inches in the air. Here are the figures on the giant twirling crew: Height. Weight. Boehler . 6.2 180 Covaleski . 6 185 Comstock . 5.9 170 Cavet . 6.2 175 Dauss . 5.10 165 Dubuc . 5.10 189 Hall . 6.1 185 Mala . 6.6 195 Reynolds . 6.6 182 Schultz . 5.10 175 C. Williams . 5.8% 160 J. Williams . 6 180 Shepherd . 6.1 185 While the other big league managers are worrying over their chances, Connie Mack is figuring on the size of the crowds at the next world's series. Since Danny Murphy has departed, only Plank and Davis are left from the Athletic team that won the first pennant for Philadelphia in 1902. Manager Chance has a big first sacker on his roster. The youngster is Henry Williams, who is sure he'll stick at the firstbase job. "Hooks" Wiltse of the Giants is going to try and pitch the moist ball this summer. Hooks has tried it in practise and it worked well. Hughey Jennings says he wouldn't part with Walter Pipp for $25,000. Hughey thinks he is one of the finest prospects he ever saw. The pen is mightier than the sword said the ball player, as he attached his signature to one of those Fed contracts. Manager McGraw's secretary's name is Sparrow. There may be something behind the name at that. Charley Herzog is showing his players a few pointers in base running. Charles is some runner. Art Gregg, who formerly played for the Cleveland Naps, is a Brooklyn Fed. It is likely that Rube Marquard will again be the Giants' star southpaw. SPORTING WORLD Coach Guy Nickalls of the Yale crews has announced the makeup of the varsity eight for the present as follows: Bow, Coshman; No. 2, Meyer; No. 3, Jenkinson; No. 4, Ropp; No. 5, Sturtevant; No. 6, Rogers; No. 7, Captain Denegre; stroke, Gilfillan; coxswain, Moore. The ranks of former famous American athletes now serving as Olympic trainers in Europe will be augmented with the sailing of Alfred Forbes Copeland to assume his position as head coach of the Austrian Olympic team for the Berlin games of 1916. A boxing contest for the flyweight championship of the world between Percy Jones of Wales and Eugene Criqui of France was decided in the stadium at Liverpool and ended in a victory for the Welshman on points. The grand American handicap, the blue ribbon event among the trapshooters of this country, will for the second time in succession be shot at Dayton, O., beginning September 7, and will continue five days. John L. Sullivan comes to bat with the announcement that the athletic games of the Panama-Pacific exposition are to be the greatest which ever have been staged. Tommy Ryan, the old box-fighter, says that the fictive game has changed for the better, but that the pugilists are getting too much for their services today. Even though Willie Hoppe is an expert with the ivories, he is seldom forced to play his head off in order to win. Johnny Coulon is the baldest-headed champion the ring has seen since Ruby Bob Fitz lost to Jeffries. Some folks think that The Guide will be baby that will give Geers a ride in the M. & M. Here's why "Battling" Levinsky fights so often: He never has to train to take off any flesh. Baldy McGregor, 2:06%, has been sold by the Austrians to the Russians for $40,000. --- PRETTY COSTUMES AT NICE CARNIVAL American Girls the Most Admired Among Those in the "Battle of Flowers." AGAIN HINT OF THE "BUSTLE" One of the Prettiest Gowns Noticed Had a Suggestion of the Old Fashion—Hat of Spanish Design That Is Likely to Become Popular. NICE—Up to the present the weather has not been very favorable for the carnival season at Nice. On the occasion of the first "battle of flowers" the east wind blew so fiercely that the pretty girls in the carriages and on the stands could hardly hold on their hats. A famous "flying man" had arranged to hover over the procession of decorated cars on the Promenade des Anglais and it was even whispered that he would slowly descend and throw a bouquet of roses to the carriage which won the first prize, but unfortunately the east wind had to be taken into consideration, and when the human bird did actually arrive on the scene—high up in the air—everyone prayed that he might quickly depart, for fear of accidents. On the occasion of the second "battle of flowers," however, things went really well. The carriages were exquisitely decorated, and the show of pretty girls quite extraordinary. Every one said that the American girls carried off the palm this year. Nice is very full of Americans just now. Names well known in the states are to be found in the lists of the best hotels, and at all the carnival festivities the belles of New York have been very much to the front. Indeed, American Beauties in Production At the Hotel Negresco Mrs. Frank Gould's little sister, Miss Tilly Kelly, has been entertaining her young friends on a large scale, and this marvelous little personage was a center of attraction when she rode out, astride, on the famous Promenade des Anglais, in the morning. Three of the best decorated carriages contained pretty American girls. And on the terrace of the Hotel Ruhl the land of the Stars and Stripes was also well represented, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. Mrs. Dole-Norris' pretty niece, Miss Hews, was prominent in a leading carriage, and she looked charming in a Paris frock made of sapphire blue velour de laine, with one of the new bat-brimmed hats, set smartly on the side of her head, in velvet of the same color. In the same carriage there was another pretty American girl, who was dressed in sapphire blue charmeuse, with a Dolly Varden hat trimmed with crimson roses and blue velvet ribbons. In most of the carriages that girls were all dressed alike, or at least in the same color, and as this color harmonized with the flowers which decorated the carriage the whole effect was artistic and delightful. One of the prize decorations consisted of a sort of pagoda top, composed entirely of czar and Parma violets, which had been attached to a Victoria. Thousands and thousands of the fragrant little flowers were used, and on the front of the carriage there were high clusters of pure white tules. Strikingly Original Gown. Another lovely carriage had a company covered with orange satin and golden yellow roses. Yet another had an artistic frame covered with carvations, maldenhair fern and white lilies. In this carriage there were several pretty girls dressed in white satin gowns and wearing Watteau hats trimmed with Lancret blue velvet ribbons. I noticed a very original gown worn at this battle of flowers by an Austrian girl who, with a large party occupied front seats on the terrace of the Hotel Ruhl. This dress represents a new outline and one which will certainly be popular when the summer season opens in Parts. On it were the "bustle" pannlers of which we have been hearing so much of late. These curious little puffs of silk are at the back of the gown only, and they give a peculiar and unexpected "ligne." I do not say, because I do not think that "bustles" are again coming into fashion, but one or two leading dressmakers in Paris are trying hard to make the style of dress indicated popular. It possesses the charm of novelty and in this costume was in every respect charming and becoming, but viewing the subject as a whole I cannot say that I see reason for anticipating a "bustle revival." The material of this gown was tafetas, plain and striped. The color was a rich shade of Egyptian blue and the stripes were white, lemon yellow, sapphire blue and black. The quaint corsage, pouched over the cinture slightly, all round, and there was a dainty collar in embroidered muslin, with frills on the sleeves to match. Skirt Draped Up in Front The skirt of this costume was draped up in front. This is one of the very new Parisian fashions, and when the draperies are cleverly manipulated the effect is good. Of American Scholarship If American scholarship is not in place, it is in power. If it does not carry the election today, it determines the policy of tomorrow. Calm, patient, confident, heroic in our busy material life it perfectly vindicates the truth that the things which are unseen are eternal—George William Curtis. "Penny Wise, Pound Foolish." We heard on the street the other day of a man who claimed he was too course it will be understood that such skirts must be made of supple stuffs, otherwise the draperies would give an ugly line in front. All the new tafetas are extra supple, almost as pliable as charmeuse. Lord and Lady Charles Beresford have been very much in evidence at Nice and Monte Carlo ever since the beginning of the new year. They were staying for some time at the Hotel de Paris at Monte Carlo, then they went to Cannes for the golf, and just now they are staying at Nice. One hat noticed at the "battle of flowers" may be said to be the most important shape of the year. It represents the hats raised on stiff bandeaux, which will be so generally worn this coming summer. These flat hats, raised are already immensely popular with the ultra-smart Paristennes. And it is a fascinating style when properly worn, and by the right woman. This hat, of course, calls for a high style of hair dressing. It also demands a picturesque costume. For example, a real Watteau or Dolly Varden shape would look ridiculous if worn in conjunction with a severe tailored suit. When the warm days are with us again and dainty silks and fragile muslins are the order of the day, we shall then see these flower-trimmed hats at their best. And we shall certainly see them in great numbers, for the Watteau models will be the leading favorites of the spring and summer seasons in Paris, and later on at Trouville and Biarritz. Original Hat Model. The hat sketched this week is an exceedingly original model. Here you have the genuine Spanish "montera" shape, the shape—but of course not CLOSET OF STOCK. A SPANISH STORIES OF BELLOW PULSE PRILLED MEN BLACK FASHION. in the same materials—worn at Nice during the carnival festivities, and it at once attracted general attention. The hat, or rather toque, itself is close fitting, and in the case of the model shown in my sketch, it was covered with folds of black tulle embroidered in jet beads and pallettes. At either side—jutting out—there were loops of black velvet. In this way the hat was very much wider than long and it was worn by the Spanish bull fighters. This "montera" model was launched pressed far down on the head, in a most fascinating way. I need hardly say that the real Spanish "moneras" are entirely covered with chenille, with large, hard pompons of the same velvet stuff at either side. It is only the outline which has been copied in the model I have sketched. Spring Hues Are Mellow Spring colors have the mellowness of autumn. Rich, deep shades they are, not the intense, bright tints of spring foliage and flowers. A lovely new green is glow-worm green. Chartreuse and myrtle are also attractive shales among the new greens. Blue prairies to be especially popular, and there is a lavender tinted blue which is like the tints on old china. Petrol is a new blue that is almost black. Soldier pink reproduces the bright red tones of English army uniforms and Chambertin is a lovely, magenta-like shade such as might be produced by diluting red wine. A lansdowne frock in the last-named shade was accompanied by a coat lined with pale yellow and the combination was most pleasing. Long gloves of pale yellow embroidered silk also accompanied this Chambertin costume for the afternoon. For the Little Girl Summer dresses for the woman child are now the question. She will need several of them, for last summer's gowns have grown too small. For general utility there isn't a better pattern than the simple kimono dress, which fastens down the side and is belted by either a linen or leather belt. Buttonhole the low neck, the edges of the short sleeves and the side fastening. The belt also may be scalloped and buttonholed if one wishes. Chambray and linen are the best materials for these utility dresses. A dark brown linen or chambray for mornings is excellent. Then there are dark and light blue, pink, tan, lavender, giving one a variety. All of the dresses may be made over the same pattern, but it is advisable to have each one a different color, although one may have as many white ones as are needed. The white dresses may be embroidered in colors. poor to take his home paper, but all the same he read a notice in one of our county papers, telling how to prevent a horse from slobbering, and sext for the recipe. when the $1.50 worth of information came it said: "Teach your horse how to spit."—Spencer (Ore.)

EASIER JOB FOR POLICEMAN Seven Officers Required to Put Irishman behind Bars, But One Could Easily Release Him. Here is one that was told by Congressman Edward W. Pou of North Carolina at a recent banquet when the topic switched to the inevitable Pat. The esteemed Patrick, so related the congressman, went to the depot to meet a relative that he hadn't seen for several years, and the result was great happiness. Pat being muscular, the police force had much trouble in convincing him that he ought to be the guest of the city, but finally he was placed in the municipal rest. "Shure, judge," remarked Pat, when he was haled before the magistrate the next morning, "If yez will be so kind as to forget it O'll do as much for, yezself sometime." "Let me see," reflectively responded the magistrate. "You are the man who gave the officers so much trouble. I understand it took seven of them to lock you up." "Yls, yer honor," innocently admitted Pat, "but it would taken only wan to let me out."—Philadelphia Telegraph. AT THE TOP OF THE HEAP.

A lady the other day said to him: "Oh, Mr. — I have just seen your wife for the first time since your marriage. But I had supposed that she was a taller woman.
