THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 45 IN UNION THEM SELF-COSTLY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE When the Mexican rebels gained control of Northern Mexico they began at once to divide up among the peones the lande that have been held by a few rich, families. General Robelo was made head of the committee charged with the duty of making the partition. HOUSE APPROVES PROVISION LEGALIZING LABOR UNIONS IN UNITED STATES. Leaders of American Federation of Labor Sit in Galleries While Members of Lower Branch of National Congress Debate. Washington. D. C.—Without a dissenting vote the 207 members of the house present wrote into the Clayton anti-trust bill a provision exempting labor and farmers' organizations from prosecution under the Sherman law or other trust legislation as conspiracies in restraint of trade, but holding members of such organizations liable for acts which are adjudged in restraint of trade. Provision of Amendment. The amendment adopted provides: "Nor shall such organization, order, association or the members thereof be held or construed to be illegal combinations or conspiracies in restraint of trade under the anti-trust law." The house rejected a proposed amendment granting similar exemption to farmers' associations formed for the purpose of community buying and selling. The amendment was offered by Representative Nelson of Wisconsin. The amendment to the Clayton bill was agreed to recently by representatives of the American Federation of Labor and administration leaders. Leaders of the Federation sat in the galleries while the house debated and adopted it. Although supporting the amendment, Congressman Victor Murdock, Progressive leader, held that the amendment was vague and would lead to litigation. Called a Demagogue. "Labor came to congress years ago and labor was sent back to the courts" he argued. "The courts sent labor back to congress for legislation to exempt labor from the Sherman law. Again labor is to be sent back to the courts. Nobody on this floor knows whether this amendment really means exemption as demanded by labor. The American Federation of Labor has left no stone unturned to get exemption for its unions. It has overridden the vote of a president and has fought successfully against the lobby of the National Association of Manufacturers. The old standpat Republican activities were all directed to ward the defeat of this legislation. I am one who was called a demagogue because I stood for such legislation, for I believe heart and soul that the leaven working for good in this country is labor." Representative Thomas of Kentucky and MacDonald of Michigan sought unsuccessfully to broaden the amendment. Pastor to Discuss Yonkers, N. Y. — The sermon topics announced for summer Sunday evenings by Rev. Joseph Hillman Hollister, pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Mt. Vernon, include: "Should Worry," "Take It From Me," "Forget It," "What's the Use?" No sermon on the topic, "Good Night, Nurse," has been announced so far. Dr. Hollister labels the series "Some light words taken seriously." Makes Bride a Widow. Philadelphia, Pa.—After returning to the home of his father-in-law, bringing with him his 17-year-old bride, with whom he had eloped, Charles Miller, 22, shot and killed himself in the barn on the farm of John C. Pedrick, near Woodbury. Pedrick at 6 o'clock in the morning told his father-in-law that he was going to the barn to feed the horses. Several minutes later the bride and her father heard a shot coming from the direction of the barn. They found Miller lying with his shirt front bloodsoaked. THE GAZETTE DIRECTORS OF N. H. ROAD ARE QUIZZED TwoAppear Before Interstate Commerce Commissioner McChord in Capital. MELLEN'STALE NOT DISPROVED One Witness Testifies He Knew Little About Railroading and He Took the Say-So of Messrs. Morgan, Rockefeller and Others for Whatever Was Done. By B. C. Forbes. Washington, D. C.—Not one word of Mellen's testimony was disproved by the two New Haven directors who took the rand Wednesday. William Nelson Cromwell, the New York lawyer, bobbed up and tried to. He also sought to fix the czar's crown on Mellen's head instead of Morgan's. It was not made quite clear by Mr. Cromwell whom he represented in the case. Mellen Drove "Pretty Fast." The truth seems to be that Charles S. Mellen sat on the "dickey" and drove the superman Morgan sat inside the carriage and gave Coachman Mellen his instructions which way to go. Mellen drove "pretty fast." Director Elton swore before Interstate Commerce Commissioner McChord—so fast that the aged Elton could not see where they were going until the coach was upset and they all had their eyes "opened." To Chief Counsel Folk, Mr. Elton said J. P. Morgan usually "carried off the board of directors." Coaxed by Mr. Cromwell he agreed that Mellen took a very active hand in things. It is becoming a case of "button, button—who had the button?" Mellen says "Morgan." Lawyer Cromwell says "Mellen," and the obliging Elton first said "Morgan" to please Counsel Folk and then made it "Mellen" to please Mr. Cromwell—ostensibly Mr. Elton's counsel, but palpably seeking to serve the Morgan interests. Was Pliant and Passive. One thing established Wednesday was that if all the New Haven directors were as plant and passive and ignorant and obedient as James S. Elton of Waterbury, Ct., it was child's play for either Morgan or Mellen to drive them like a lot of cattle. And Director William Skinner of Holyoke, Mass, was also pleased to remain ignorant of many matters. Mr. Elton, 76, who was a manufacturer "until I got too old," turned banker and a New Haven director, this last in March, 1909, but frankly admitted Wednesday that he knew nothing about railroading or about the New Haven's mystifying number of subsidiaries, and that his head was too thick to grasp what was going on at the directors' meetings. He asked Mellen to teach him a little now and again, but with no brilliant results. It was all too bamboozling for him, so he just took the say-so of Messrs. Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellen and the rest for whatever was done. MILITANTS ON WARPATH USE HATCHETS, WHIPS AND London, England—Hatchets, whips, fists, desk ornaments and any missiles that came handy were used by militants in their rampages Tuesday night and Wednesday. Two editors, an art gallery at endant and Dr F E. Forward, deputy governor and physician at Holloway jail, were their victims. One of the editors and the gallery attendant are in a critical condition. The attack on the editors was made by two husky suffragets in the office of the News-Letter at Belfast, Ulster, Ireland. They first belabored Managing Editor Stewart, but he escaped with slight injuries. Later they returned and so furiously beat up Editor Anderson that he is in bed in serious condition. An attendant in the Bore gallery here tried to stay a militant as she hacked away at two pictures by a local artist. The woman turned on him and crashed the hatchet at his head. He fell unconscious and was taken to a hospital in a critical condition. The woman was arrested. Two young suffragets waylaid Dr. Forward just outside the Holloway jail and lashed him with whips till a policeman rescued him. It is the second time he has been thus attacked. The militants blame him for forcible feeding of suffragett prisoners. Ardillman Villa, in Fort William park, Belfast, was burned by militants. A quantity of literature attacking Sir Edward Carson was found. Blue and Grey Meet. Washington.—The blue and the grey came together at the unveiling of the Confederate monument in Arlington national cemetery Wednesday. National commanders-in-chief of the G. A. R. and of the Confederate veterans were among the speech makers. President Wilson accepted the monument in the name of the government when it was presented by Mrs. Daisy McLaurin, president-general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The monument is in memory of the heroic men and women of the south. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. SCHOOL CONTEST FOR BOYS. Professor J. B. La Fargue's Method of Safeguarding Young Lives. Alexandria, La.-A new method of extending the influence of the colored school as a benefactor to both the colored and the white people in a community has been evolved by R. La Fargue, principal of the Peabody private school for colored people in Alexandria, La. Professor La Fargue's idea is to get his boys, in competing for prizes, to take interest in work which will make for the betterment of sanitation and neatness in the city. The school contest idea is not a new one by any means, nor is the idea that the ideal school makes its influence felt for twelve instead of nine months new, but it remained for the Alexandria principal to combine the two and give us a new school contest to be listed along with the corn club, the canning club and the home garden contests. The Pedody school enrolled 513 in 1913, about half of whom were boys. In addition to a school garden and some work in domestic science, a home garden contest was organized, in which some sixty were enrolled. This, however, was not enough. Principal La Largue felt that his pupils should be influenced by the school to stay out of the gutter during the demolishing summer months. He proposed to accomplish this by getting them to work. Professor La Largue therefore interested some of the white merchants of the town to solicit the extent of offering first, second and third prizes for the boys giving the best evidence of industry during the summer months of 1914, the contest beginning in January and ending in September. The boys are to solicit odd jobs from the white people of the town and to receive upon the completion of each job certificates signed by their employers stating the date and the amount paid for the work. The boy who holds the largest number of these certificates by the opening of the school year next September will receive first prize. When this contest was about a month old, according to Professor La Fargue, one boy whom he had considered rather lazy had amassed twenty-two certificates, stating that he had mowed lawns, cut weeds and drained mud puddles and had received from 10 to 25 cents for each job. This stimulus may mean a turning point in the boy's life. It may mean the inculcation of industrious habits in one who would have otherwise grown up without any ambition or self reliance. It teaches them to grow up with the proper ideals of neatness and cleanliness of property, and the lesson is impressed by the fact that they themselves are to look for the defects as well as apply the remedies. It centers the interest of the southern white people, who receive the benefit of the labor, on the school and arouses their interest in an institution which raises the standard of living in their community. La Fargue's contest, therefore, deserves a good rank among the many activities outside of the classroom of the modern schools. UPLIFT WORK IN LIBERIA. Little West African Republic Needs Better Educational Facilities. Dr. J. Edmestone Barnes of Liberia, ex-militer of public works, now president and director of the Society For the Establishment and Maintenance of the Liberian Industrial Training Institution and Schools, gave a twenty minute talk Monday night, May 11, in Cleveland hall chapel at the Hampton (V.n.) institute. Dr. Barnes dwelt briefly upon the history of Liberia and very forbly brought to the attention of his audience the condition of the aborigines, who comprise 70 per cent of the population of over 1,500,000. Owing to lack of funds no provision has been made for taking civilization back in the hinterland to the tribes there who are anxious to be educated. Dr. Barnes expects when he returns to Liberia to establish elementary schools in suitable centers and also a higher industrial school at some healthful location in the hinterland. THRIFTY OKLAHOMA TOWN. Progress Noted In 'Municipality Inhabited Soily by Afro-Americans. Taft, Okla., is one of the most thrifty towns of its size in the far southwest. It is inhabited by not much over 500 persons, all Afro-Americans, ambitious and energetic. There are several stores in the town, one cotton gin, one hotel and many fine residences. The railroad station agent and the telegraph operator perform efficient service and are recognized by the state officials the same as white men serving in like capacity. Sarah Rector, reputed to be the wealthiest young miss of the colored race, attends the public school in Taft. Squire Jones is justice of the peace and also president of the local business league. The citizens of the town are greatly interested in the coming meeting of the National Negro Business 'league, which will be held in Muskogee the third week in August. Meeting of Baptist Sunday Schools. The twenty-first annual meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. convention will be held in Bridgeport, Conn., for two days beginning on Tuesday, June 16. The sessions of the convention will be held in the Messiah Baptist church, of which the Dr. Rev. W. N. Morton is pastor. As Bridgesport is in easy reach of the majority of the schools belonging to the organization an unusually large attendance is expected. DR. ANDREW D. WHITE Dr. Andrew D. White, who was the chief American delegate to the first peace conference at The Hague, was the principal speaker at this year's Lake Mohonk conference on International Arbitration. LANE RIDICULES GOVERNMENTAL RED TAPE IN THE NORTH. WEST TERRITORY. Advice Creation of Development Body Which Would Be Charged With Having Everything to Do With Natural Resources. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of the Interior Lane ridicules Alaska governmental red tape in a report just made to the senate and house committees on territories, and strongly urges that the territory be put in the hands of a development board of three members to have headquarters in Alaska and be charged with everything having to do with natural resources. Bills in accord with Mr. Lane's recommendations have been introduced in both houses of congress. "It is proposed and urged," says Mr. Lane, "that the board should take over such authority now exercised by various departments and bureaus as may be necessary to give it supervision over practically the entire public domain and all the natural resources of Alaska, and control of such activities as are closely related and essential to the development of the physical resources of the country. Beginning at the shore line, the development board should have complete control of all government activities and interests connected with the development of industries and transportation and the settling of the country. "This should include the control of the water power, building and maintenance of roads and trails, and operation and rates of the railroads and telegraph lines. It should include protection and control of game, fur-bearing animals, public lands, mineral deposits, coal, oil, gas, hot springs, timber lands and timber." Secretary Lane also urges that this board should take over the supervision of educational work among the Indians and natives, the reindeer industry, control of the surveyor general's office, and the supervision in cooperation with the department of agriculture of agricultural experiments and demonstration work in the territory. DIE TO SAVE OTHERS THREE YOUNG MEN SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES WHILE RESCUING COMPANIONS. Philadelphia, Pa.—Sacrificing their lives that four companions, two of then girls, might be saved, three young men, none of whom could swim, leaped into the Delaware river from a sinking rowboat and were drowned. The dead are John Mouchech, Raymond Tinney and John Murphy. The saved are George German, Sarah German, May German and John Neville. All resided in the northeastern section of this city. Tinney and Sarah German were engaged to be married. Accompanied by the others they visited Cramer hill on the New Jersey side of the river and hired a large flat bottom rowboat. They were more than 100 yards from the shore when it was noticed that the craft was rapidly filling with water from a loose board. None of the party could swim, but all the men volunteered to jump out that, the others might be saved. Five Trainmen Killed Connellsville, Pa.—Five trainmen were killed and two perhaps fatally injured when a passenger locomotive on the Connellsville division of the B. & O. was derailed at Cooks Mills, east of here. The locomotive was running light. An extra freight crew had boarded the engine to ride down the line to relieve a crew whose working time had expired. In some unknown manner the engine jumped from the rails and the men were scaled. BIG MEETINGS IN MEMPHIS. Tennessee Metropolis Host of Noted Workers For Human Bettirement. Memphis, Tennessee—The national conference of charities and correction and the southern sociological congress held largely attended and interesting meetings in this city, week ending May 9. The race question was freely discussed by both colored and white speakers at each of these two national organizations. Following the meeting of the above named bodies on Monday evening, May 11, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a large mass meeting in Avery chapel. The more advanced doctrines of the association on the race question were outlined by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of the Talladega (Ala.) college. This meeting was freely advertised in the white papers of Memphis. Large display notices appeared in the News-Scimitar and Commercial Appeal stating that "all persons who love the truth and dare to hear it were cordially invited." An enormous audience packed Avery chapel and great enthusiasm prevailed. Dr. Spingarn urged all colored men and women of all shades of opinion or schools of thought to forget faction and to stand together in battling for their rights as men and citizens. He declared that the Negro problem could never be solved aright until every black man exercised the full rights of the franchise and had an active share in the administration of justice. White men could never vote properly for black men, and black men should never rest satisfied until they occupied positions of trust and responsibility in legislatures and courts of justice, said Dr. Spingarn. Then, and only then, could both races work together on equal terms for the best interest of their common country. UPLIFTING THE HEATHEN. Notable Progress Made by Baptist Missionaries in Central Africa. At the national convention, held in Ebenezer church, Boston, in 1897, an Englishman, Joseph Booth, who had been trading and laboring as a lay missionary in central Africa, visited the convention. He brought with him to the United States an African youth, who looked fright and not very promising for long life. Disappointed and disheartened by his failures to get the co-operation of the Baptists (white or colored) in the United States, Mr. Booth abandoned NEW BAPTIST CHURCH, CHIRADZULU, CENTRAL AFRICA. his plans and gave the African youth to the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign mission board of the national convention. Dr. Jordan put the boy in charge of Professor G. W. Hayes, president of the Virginia seminary and college, at Lynchburg, Va. After three years an attending physician informed the board that unless the youth was returned to his native land he would die. At the close of his third year at the seminary he was set apart to the work of the ministry, and during December, 1900, he returned to his native country as Rev. John Schlembwe. Rev. Mr. Cheek joined the young man, spending seven years at the same mission station in Africa. Miss Delaayon soon followed, spending five years, so today Negro Baptists have their best mission station at Chiradzulu, British Central Africa. The ultimate aim of all foreign boards is a prepared native ministry. The foreign mission board can boast of Rev. Schlembwe of central Africa, Rev. Kotl and Rev. Menzie of South Africa as some of the best equipped native missionaries in all Africa. These, with the twenty young people in the schools of America, preparing for their life work, three of whom are pursuing courses for medical missionaries, speak volumes for Africas future uplift. They make the Negro Baptists' contribution to Africa beyond computation. All loyal members of the denomination should feel encouraged over the splendid outlook of their work in foreign fields. Important Meeting For Educators. The annual meeting of the North Carolina colored teachers' assembly will be held at Shaw university, Raleigh, N. C., from Wednesday, June 10, to Sunday, June 14, inclusive. At a meeting of the executive committee recently held invitations were extended to the governor of the state, superintendent of education and other prominent white and colored persons to deliver addresses at the coming meeting. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Recently there has been organized in Nashville the only negro board of trade in the world, writes Michael Jones in a communication to the Washington Star. It serves as a beacon light and stands as an ideal example of what such an organization means to a community in which there are colored men engaged in business. J. C. Napier, exregister of the United States treasury, is president of the board, and through his master mind the policies are shaped and carried out. The young and unparalleled organization is demonstrating how indispensable such a body is to the fullest and broadest economic, religious and intellectual development of any town, city or country in which there are a goodly number of colored citizens. Dr. Booker T. Washington, whom the world honors and reveres, has been invaluable to the progress of his race and who is an undisputed authority on negro life in America, tells us that there are owned, operated and controlled by negroes in America 100 insurance companies, 300 drug stores, 65 banks, 450 newspapers, magazines and periodicals and more than 20,000 other businesses of various kinds. These people are succeeding in business because they are doing what the world wants done. A review of these facts will bring "visions of a better future" to even the most pessimistic of the race. How vivid it is that the Afro-American's problem is one of persistence rather than one of existence that nothing but success awaits him he will be will have faith, endure for a while and keep courage. It is imperative—and that soon—that he, in a much larger measure, ceases to be employee and becomes employer. Let there come from his midst satraps of trade, kings of finance, lords of industry, railroad wards, steel czars and merchant princes. Ninety negrs millionaires could solve about ninety per cent of the race problem. The American Genetic association foresees a solution of the so-called race problem in the natural increase of the two races as analyzed by Professor Wilcox of the census bureau. Mr. Wilcox says the Negro is steadily losing ground in the South both by immigration of whites and by their own declining birthrate. They are losing still more rapidly in the North. The more rapid increase of the whites is attributed not only to the infux of immigration, but to the fact that in the registration area where vital statistics are available, including three-fifths of the whites and one-fifth of the negroes, the negro death rate exceeds the white by about two-thirds. In the past 30 years the excess in the proportion of negro children has been falling until the present difference between the race is less than one-fourth that of 1880, and will, at the present rate, have disappeared when the next census is taken. This decline in the birthrate is ascribed largely to neo-emigration into the northern cities. The birthrate among negroes in the city is but two-thirds of city whites, whereas in the country it is above the country whites. Besides the fecundity of all races is lower in the North and the negro trend northward is constantly increasing. Most of the licorice root used in America comes from the marshy plains of Turkey and Russia. Discussing the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago, the leading church paper, the Standard, says: "The need of leaders is fundamental. The negro has a social passion for organization. He wants to start something, or belong to something already started. There is scarcely a field of organization within his reach that he has not covered straightforwardly or surreptitiously. Many of these organizations, in the church and out of it, fail. Perhaps more fail than succeed. The failure, however, is not due to the lack of co-operation or interest, but rather to the lack of comprehension and intelligence in working it out. "They are willing to try approved methods, to copy successful organizations, to imitate successful efforts; but these are of little advantage unless they are helped to secure such trained leadership as will put them in possession of the agents and the assets which were the indispensable factors in securing this success. It seems obvious that we can be of real help in training the men and women who are to be, in time, the leaders in congregational life of these churches." The Saco (Me.) fire department has a mascot in a cat which, because of its markings, is called Mackierel. The cat was asleep on the pole of a hose wagon when an alarm rang in, and was forced to cling to its precarious perch until the fire was reached. It had a wild ride, and as soon as it had a chance got off and went back to the hosehouse. The heart of a standing man beats 81 times a minute, of a sitting can see 71 times. When a mass is lying down it beats are reduced to 65 a minute. IN UNION UNION PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS Not only is it of vital interest 'o this whole municipality of Houston that its large negro population should acquire that reasonable intelligence which is the fruit of a good system of public schools and those useful habits of sustained labor which will make them invaluable in the growing industrial enterprises of Houston, but it is of equal interest that the negro population should live on sanitary streets and in sanitary yards and homes and that when stricken with disease they should have access to a well planned and well regulated hospital. Modern economists and statisticians have demonstrated that the financial losses due to preventable illness reach an astounding annual total among those employed in the industrial enterprises of the nation. These statistics apply with force to the colored population of the South where the negro is a large industrial factor. Hence this movement for negro hospital facilities is a timely step in the right direction—a step dictated by an enlightened scientific self interest on part of the good white people as well as by the more unselfish humanitarian and religious motives. To my own people here, I would say, "Seek to measure up to the opportunity presented you in this great city, along all lines, industrial, commercial, educational and religious. Let the colored ministers, physicians, teachers, merchants, lawyers and sturdy laboring people who are the backbone of the race join hands, heart and pocket-books to help push this negro hospital movement to a successful conclusion. Do your utmost. Sacrifice something for the benefit of the race and the good white people will do their part."—Ed Blackshear, in the Houston Post. H. P. Ewing, a negro farmer of Wyandotte county, Kansas, has evolved a plan that promises well for the betterment of his race. A farmer himself, he believes in the "back to the soil" movement for his people. The outcome of his long cherished plan is the successful launching of the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company, incorporated under the laws of Kansas, with a capital stock of $5,000, divided into 500 shares of $10 value. The company has leased 105 acres just west of Armourdale, which it all under cultivation and is now preparing to market a crop of vegetables of all kinds that will show results of scientific and intensive farming. For 35 years Ewing has been raising crops in Wyandotte county, at one time having 1,000 acres of ground planted wholly to potatoes. From his years of experience he has evolved ideas that not only increase his yield, but enable him to market the best class of farm products. For example, he has found that turnips furnish the best fertilizer for potato ground. "I find for this climate and soil that the Red River Ohio potato is the best seed to plant," he said in describing his methods. "As soon as the crop is harvested I sow the ground to turnips. The best of these I harvest, the balance are plowed under, enriching the soil and resulting in a better grade of potatoes the following year. The best time to market potatoes here is in July and August. Prices are better, as we do not have to compete with the northern grown product." Austria has 74,267 miles of highway. In 1910 the government expended $5,588,290 on roadway maintenance. "Have faith in the white man. He is your friend." Booker T. Washington, the negro educator, offered this advice to members of his race in an address at Atlanta, Ga., before the annual negro Christian students' conference. He declared that notable progress in co-operation between the races had been made in the last decade. The speaker pleaded for the education of his race. "By right living, obeying the laws and showing due deference to every man, you will demonstrate to the world what education makes out of the negro," said Doctor Washington. A popular novelty recently introduced in France is a cup so made as to keep tea or coffee hot while the user is reading the morning paper between sips. This is accomplished by providing the cup with a double bottom into which a slip of heated metal can be placed. The liquid is kept hot for a period of about twenty minutes. Many speeches are historical only because, like history, they repeat themselves. The value of Hungary's agricultural returns does not depend on several large crops or on the products of certain specified branches of agriculture, but rather on the great diversity of its products, for there is probably no country in Europe in which so many branches of agriculture are carried on. China proper has less than 0.4 mile of open railway to every 100 square miles of territory, and, estimating the population at 327,000,000, there is 0.18 mile of line to every 10,000 inhabitants. --- One Year. $1.50.

SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914. "There is an irresistible return to protection," declares the Republican Chairman of North Carolina, in a call to Progressives and Republicans to re-unit. This is apparent to students of the political trend the country over, and it is doing more to bring together the two wings of the party than anything else. This is notably so in Ohio. It hardly seems possible, but it is true:—The President of the United States declined to take part in the Memorial Day exercises at the National Cemetery at Arlington. Shades of Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and McKinley! And as if to emphasize his declination, President Wilson agreed to make a speech at the unveiling of a Confederate monument a few days later. That the "South is in the saddle" in the White House as in Congress is no joke. As, with bowed heads and tottering limbs, the remnants of the immortal Army of the Republic march—and for most of them the march will be probably the last on earth—what must they think? It has come to this: The President of the United States reuses to honor the dead sleeping in Arlington, but he accepts an invitation to speak at a Confederate monument unveiling five days following. ```markdown ``` Not only members of the G. A. R but politicians the country over are amazed at the recent declination of the President to attend the Memorial Day exercises at the Arlington National Cemetery, particularly as he agreed to speak at the Confederate memorial exercises five days later. Last year the President promised the G. A. R. to attend the Memorial Day exercises, but he went for an automobile ride in Virginia instead. The excuse given by the President this year is that it would not do for him to speak on current topics at this time;—and yet he spoke at the unveiling of a Confederate monument a few days later. President Wilson is the first President to refuse to participate in the exercises since the custom of holding a memorial over the graves of Union soldiers had its beginning soon after the war, although Cleveland went fishing. The incident will likely break up the intended reunion of the Blue and the Gray at the Confederate exercises. HARRISON PARKER. Our readers will find in one of the Sandusky letters, published in this issue of The Gazette, an interesting account of what a member of the race recently did to help free an Episcopal church (white) of that city from a long-standing indebtedness amounting to $4,500. We know that the first thought of most of our people who read of Harrison Parker's big-hearted act, will be to criticise him on the ground that our churches are all greatly in need of funds. A sober second thought, however, will make them realise, we feel sure, the tremendous influence for good Mr. Parker's act has had, and will continue to have for years to come, upon the class of people in this country whose good-will and friendship we need most. What he did, furnishes in part just the kind of a leavening needed, these days, to soften and help eradicate color-predispositions in this section of the country. Any loss our churches may have sustained through his splendid efforts to help the church (white) with which he had been affiliated for many years and until his recent death, will result in the race generally in profite a thousand fold. Therefore, there should be no invidious criticism, but generous praise from all of our people for Harrison Parker, deceased. CHIEF OF POLICE W. S. ROWE. A great misunderstanding has arisen among our people, particularly of the 11th ward, last week and this as a result of the determined efforts of the police to improve conditions, particularly in the Central Ave. district. The arrest of a few good citizens of color, last week Monday and Wednesday, by over-zealous officers, is largely the cause of this. Then came the publication in one or more local daily papers, on Tuesday of this week, which announced that the chief of police had given instructions to officers to arrest every Colored man, who entered the parks, evening, in an effort to apprehend a member of the race charged with the commission of several crimes, recently. Chief Rowe, as well as our people, was imposed upon by the reporter of that newspaper, because he had not given any such order, any more than he had authorized the indiscriminate arrest of persons in Central Ave. on last Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The chief is friendly to our people and has shown it in many ways for many years. This week he has caused an officer in the third and fourth precepts to call on the good members of the race who were so unfortunate as to have been arrested last week, on Monday and Wednesday, and proffer an apology. Also, he received kindly the many varied protests, in person and in writing, filed with him last and this week by our people, and respectfully requested all to co-operate with the police in the effort to improve the many conditions complained of particularly by all good citizens of the Central Ave. district and which have existed far too long, already. The Gazette desires to warn the good people in that locality to refrain from allowing their curiosity to draw them into crowds of any kind, and to refuse to permit Central Ave. loiterers to engage them in conversation for any great length of time in the street. If they will heed this warning, they need have no fear of being molested by officers, or of getting into trouble of any kind with the latter.

A POLITICAL REVOLUTION. Leaving to the people of Pennsylvania the settlement of the question of who shall represent them in the United States Senate, the primaries recently held in that state have attracted wide attention because of the demonstration they gave of the weakness of the Progressive party (called the Washington party) and the remarkable returning strength of the Republican party. The vote cast for Senator Penrose and the other "regular" candidates shows beyond a doubt that Pennsylvania will go Republican next November. This is admitted by leading independent papers, both in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, even though they may have favored the retirement of Senator Penrose. This is nothing short of a political revolution in a year and a half. In 1912 Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania by 51,807—the largest majority any state gave him. The vote was Roosevelt 447,426; Wilson, 395,619; Taft, 273,305. Pennsylvania has certainly swung back into the Republican column. In the large cities of the state the Progressive vote was one-fifth that cast in 1912; in many sections it was absolutely wiped out. Such papers as the Times, Sun and Herald, of New York, declare that the result in Pennsylvania foreshadows the collapse of the Bull Moose party, in spite of anything Roosevelt might do. The New York Times—certainly one of the ablest and most independent papers in the country—says: "*** There is the unquestionable decline of the active Progressive movement which seems to have culminated in the practical disappearance of the Progressive organization in the one great state that was carried in 1912. However, Mr. Pinchot has, with experience, fact, a fact it remains and one a prime importance to Mr. Roosevelt's future plans." The Times undertakes to show that the very first serious test of the Progressives' pet policy, the primary, has resulted in reinforcing the machine, and making it substantially more independent of the Progressive opposition with which it is menaced. The Times also observes a drift of conservative Democrats away from their party "on account of the extreme radicalism of the majority in Congress." "Here," concludes the Times, "is a combination of forces, the resultant of which is obviously unfavorable to the revival and extension of the remarkable campaign of two years ago." A WHITE CHURCH. Freed of a $4,500 Debt As the Result of the Efforts of An Afro- American Member. SANDUSKY, O.—A. bishop and other Episcopalian dignitaries, from Cleveland, Toledo and other Ohio cities congregated in Sandusky May 28, for the twofold purpose of consecrating Calvary church and paying funeral tribute to Harrison Parker, an Afro-American, who freed the church from a long standing $4,500 debt and thus made consecration possible. Mr. Parker, a barber, gave all he could spare and inspired others, some members of other denominations, who liked him, to make up the deficit. To him more than to any other individual, is due and is given the credit for raising the amount. He was a member of the church for many years, and was a benefactor, the benefactor, who had been ill for weeks, died. The last of the $4,500 was raised Sunday week and on that night a committee visited Mr. Parker and told him the money had been raised. He smiled. He could not speak. With the coming of the following morning he was dead. May 28, as the consecration service proceeded, the body of Mr. Parker reposed in a flower-strewn casket beheaded in bronze and placed in the church. Those who participated in the consecration, in addition to Bishop W. A. Leonard, were: Rev. Henry L. McChellan, rector of Calvary, and Edmund G. Mapes, rector of Grace, Rev. John P. Keeen of Trinity cathedral, Cleveland; Rev. Robert Harris, rector of St. Mark's church, Toledo; Rev. Thomas Jenkins of St. Paul's church, Fremont; Rev. Herbert Wilson of St. Paul's church, Huron; Rev. J. E. Broadhead of Port Clinton, and about twenty others. In addition to working as a minister, Mr. Island Fishing club and until this spring had been going to the island regularly for a quarter of a century. Club members gave approximately $500 to the church. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914. FORAKER FOR SENATOR. The spirited campaign now being waged in Ohio in behalf of ex-Senator Foraker, candidate for the United States Senate, should have the endorsement and support of the citizen of the United States; and some definite steps should be taken by the Negroes of this country to secure to Mr. Foraker every possible vote in the State of Ohio. The fact that Mr. Foraker is not now holding his seat in the Senate is due to his uncompromising attitude toward the Negro while the Brownsville investigation was in progress; and certainly if he sacrificed his seat for our cause we can well afford to sacrifice a few hundred dollars to his form of honor and political promi Negroes need not be told that there are few Forakers in this country; they need not be shown the record of this man in the Senate to convince them that he stood always for the black man and his cause when the strongest possible forces were directed against him. The name of Foraker was spread broadcast over this country until every Negro knew him as a friend—milled with a deep sense of justice to all men alike, regardless of their color, or their previous condition. This man is now before the citizens of Ohio and is now represented to the Senate where he and his class of men are sorely needed this very minute; and there should be no greater pleasure for the black men of Ohio than to cast their ballot for him at the Primary and final elections.

In hisogle to return. Mr. Foraker has the good will of the ten million Negroes in this country and of every patriot in the land. In the past he was a conservative progressive statesman who believed that government should not only collect from its citizenry the revenue necessary to its maintenance and that it should its inhabitants the rewards, emoluments and protection of the republic—Dallas (Tex.) Express. --- Ex-Senator Joseph B. Foraker formally announced himself last week as a candidate for the nomination for United States Senator from Ohio on the Republican ticket.

Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is the greatest and best of Ohio's noble The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a copy of a little pamphlet entitled, "Politics and the Schools," published with a view of clearing the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, at Frankfort, from the political thrallion of the men who have for a number of years used the school for selfish interest and personal gain. It is an excellent and timely publication which our people in that state should all read. Daniel Dawford Failow graduated from the Case School of Applied Science, last week Thursday. The graduating exercises of the school were held at the Euclid Ave. Congregational church. Chas. Ots Smith, director of the U.S. Geological Survey, gave the commencement address. M. Fowler was valedictorian of his (high school) class and stood second in his class at Case School. He was given the degree of Bachelor of Science as a metallurgical engineer. He and his folk are deserving of much credit for what he has done, and we wish him all success in his future work. Colonel Roosevelt stands with those who would sacrifice results to their conception of ideals and lose everything they seek rather than accept less than their dreams. He rejects the practical certainty of victory and invites inevitable defeat. He turns away from the one road which leads to his goal and plunges into a quagmire from which no highway emerges. —Cleveland Daily Leader. Editor Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, has announced himself for the legislature of that State. Mr. Smith set forth his accomplishments when he was a member of that body. Among these was a civil rights bill and an anti-lynching law. From a race viewpoint his services were highly meritorious and perhaps generally so. The chances of the Republicans are looking a little blue most everywhere, conspiring to forge a victory. This means that Mr. Smith is likely to be nominated, because the Negro vote is needed—Indianapolis Freeman. The country has seen the Progressive vote dwindle into relative insignificance in New Jersey, in Maryland, in St. Louis, in Michigan. It has witnessed the downward plunge of the third party vote in Chicago, in Ohio cities, and in the whole state of New York. It has seen the registration of voters in California, Indiana, Pennsylvania for point clearly to great losses for the Progressives and great Republican gains. The same conditions have been shown in Congressional district elections in Maine, New Jersey and Iowa. Practically all tests have shown that the Progressives are returning rapidly to the Red State, and that the way to bring about the triumph of progressive principles and the enactment of progressive legislation—Cleveland Leader.

Nicholas by sending it to her immediately. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Luxury of Sugar. Sugar was considered an article of luxury in Europe until tea and coffee became usual articles of diet. Sugar was then used to sweeten these beverages and so gradually came to have a prominent part in the daily diet. Before the days of sugar much more meat was eaten and the drinking of alcoholic beverages was much more common. The fair malden who could not, with impunity, drink a pint of ale for breakfast was unusual. Perhaps, in spite of the fact that most of us eat too much of it, sugar is a blessing. Even oversweetened coffee and cereal covered with sugar sound more beneficial than a pint of ale and half a pound of beef for breakfast. Sometimes It Is.

Mr. Samuel Wiggins WING REMEDY agen ee HAVE A FIRM HOLD Some Interesting Figures Forwarded by American Consuls in Europe—Tastes of Peoples Are Shown to Vary Widely. American consuls in European and other foreign countries have recently been sending reports to Washington on the motion picture industry, these reports showing that east and west, north and south, the "movies" now hold sway and are playing a star role in the amusements of the nations. From many places comes the consular declaration that the attractions at the film play theaters are not merely one of the chief amusements, but the chief amusement. From Nuremberg, Germany, for instance, Consul George Nicolas lft writes that the moving picture "has advanced to first place among the people of Bavaria." In Munich there are 32 theaters, with a total seating capacity of 4,650, and a yearly sale of 3,000,000 tickets, while in Nuremberg there are 14 theaters, with a seating capacity of 3,400. The other large Bavarian cities all have numerous theaters. In regard to comparison with other amusements. Consul George N. Iff writes that in the city of Hof the total attendance at places of public amusement for one year was 209,551. Of this total, 138,610 was attendance at film shows. Attendances at other amusements were: Theaters, 38,000; concerts, 8,600; public dances, 4,000; circuses, 7,000. In the city of Fuerrin in one month the attendance at the "movies" was 14,000, while for that month and the two preceding months the attendance at all other public places of amusement, including ordinary theaters, was but 12,600. From Great Britain come reports that, while the motion-picture theaters are constantly increasing their hold on the public, American films of cowboy life—well received not long ago—are beginning to lose popularity. HIS ROLE IS COMEDY LEAD Few of the Photoplay Stars Are More Popular Than Clever Mr. Eddie Redway. Eddie Redway, who is now playing leading comedy roles, was for a year connected with Arthur Roberts at the Lyric theater, London, England, where he played in "The Modern Don Quixote" and later under the management of Mr. George Edward, in the famous comedy "The Messenger Boy." A Eddie Radway. Mr. Redway is well known in Scotland, Ireland and Wales. It was during a visit to Chicago that Mr. Redway was engaged to play leading roles and much is expected of him, too, and much he is going to give us and the photoplay public—the laughing kind—that you will be pleased to see. Specialist on Railroad Photoplays. J. P. McGowan, the producer, has be come known as a specialist on railroad photoplays. He has produced and is still producing them from every angle, and the members of his company are almost as well versed in railroad lore as he is himself. Helen Holmes, his leading woman, declares she almost lives on, in, around, or under trains. Historic. "Say, wait," said the travelling man to the hotel waiter, "what kind of chicken do you call this?" "That's a Plymouth Rock, I believe," replied the waiter. lieve," replied the waiter. "I am glad it has some claims to history mention," said the man. "I thought it was just an ordinary cobblestone." To Produce "Fantasma." An eastern company has acquired the filming rights to the Hanlon brothers' extravaganza, "Fantasms." The fantastic effects and the scenic scenes are said to lend themselves to perfect photographic reproduction. No Inducement. Circle—It seems that the tangle craze is passing. Terpsichore—Of course. Who wants to dance the old thing now? Why, even the clergy have decided that there is nothing at all improper about it!—Judge Essentials First. "What would you do when first employed to bring an action?" asked an examiner of a young candidate for the legal profession. "Ask for a retaining fee," was the prompt reply. He passed—Livingston Lance. Not Right. "He is the most irregular man I ever saw." "So." "Sure. He was fired out of the regular army because of irregularities." SEEN IN MANY PRODUCTIONS Remarkable Ability and Beauty of Miss Beverly Bayne Has Made Her Much In Demand. Miss Beverly Bayne is a charming member of an eastern stock company whose work in a number of recent productions has won the praise of both press and public. Miss Bayne is a striking photographic subject and a firm believer in all outdoor sports. She is an export horsewoman and can be seen any fine morning cantering along. Her favorite hobby is sketching and water-color work. Her unusual beauty A. and ability to portray a wide range of characters have gained for her a host of admirers in the film world. She has played leading roles in such recent productions as "The Girl at the Curtain," "Through the Storm," "The Love Route" and many others. Villa In the "Moxies" Motion pictures of General Villa and the constitutionalist army in Mexico, taken at the front and under fire, are being shown. The films are martial enough to satisfy the keenest taste, and that Villa, usually accepted in the United States as a bandit, is made to look a plauso hero, detracted little from their thrilling quality. "The Battle of Torreon and the Life of General Villa" is the title of the films. The first reels are given up to various views of the fighting which preceded the constitutionalist victory in the north. One gaspe" at the temerity of the camera men who made the pictures, for there are actual scenes on the firing line, and bullets and shells are getting in their deadly work. In the second part of the entertainment what purports to be the true history of Villa's life is given. A pious orphan, with two sisters dependent upon him, he is the victim of the federalals, and swears revenge. His rise to power is shown step by step, until at the head of the rebel army, he wins victories over his foes and completes his vengeance. The acting in this latter part is done, not by the general himself, but by an actor made up to look like him. Some of the scenes are overdrawn, but the setting always is good. Popular Child Actress Popular Child Actress Kathle Fischer is six years old and was born in Oakland, Cal. She is a wife of Margarita Fischer, leading woman of the "Beauty" brand photo plays, and appears with her aunt in these motion pictures. Miss Kathle inherits most of her talent from her gifted mother, who is known on the stage as Mary Scott. This little maid also has been favored with the careful tutelage of her popular aunt, in whose care she has been left. Kathle is dark and has big, expressive eyes. All though a natural comedienne, in serious drama the child has an intelligent grasp of the meaning of the theme and the sentiment to be conveyed. She has enacted parts in many photo plays, the principal ones being: "Why Rags Left Home," "Bobby's Magic Nickel," "The While Sleeped The Klee," "The Kid," "Playmates," "Jimmy's Deception," "Fooling Ucile," "The Lesson the Children Taught," "The Wife" and "The Sacrifice." Husband—Did that dress-suit case corre? come. Wife—The one full of dreadful clothes from the office? Yes; and they came just in time to give away to the missionary society. Husband (in a sepulchral voice)—It belonged to an Englishman I have invited home to dinner. (Doorbell rings.)—Life. Ita Nature. "I don't see how there could possibly be a shoe trust." "Why not?" "How could a shoe company ever belong to a soleless corporation?" Paramount Question. First Dogmaniac—So Stella got her separation, all right. Second Ditto—Do tell me. Who is to have the custody of the Pom?—London Opinion. Experts. "I think the world takes a man at his own valuation." "I think you're mistaken. The customs house inspectors are as alert as ever!"—Twn Topics. A Slight Hint. She—There is one sure way a woman can tell a gentleman in a crowded street car. He—What is that? She—By Lls get-up. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914. BASEBALL All teams look alike to Walter Johnson. The Cardinals are weak before left-handers again this year. SCHALK IS STAR CATCHER TWO MODES SHOW New Garment W Here to Stay, Welcome GOOD IDEA The Cardinals are weak before left- handers again this year. The Feds are bears at producing that one-to-nothing brand of ball. The Feds are bears at producing that one-to-nothing brand of ball. * * * * Some of the baseball magnates are now litigating over 300 per cent. * * * * The Fort Worth club has signed Catcher Bill Rapp, late of Sioux City. * * * * The Fort Worth club has signed Catcher Bill Rapp, late of Sioux City. * * * * Baseball managers want "fresh" recruits, the self-confident, noisy kind. Otis Crandall, of St. Louis, and Karl Crandall, of Indianapolis, are brothers. Johnny Evers is beginning to hit the ball and will strike his natural gait soon. St. Louis papers say that Lee Maagee's real name is Leopold Hunsch meyer. A Washington paper refers to Cleveland as "the suburbs of the American league." Tinker to Evers to Chance: "How much income tax did you fellows have to pay?" Doc Gessler of the Pittsburgh Feds says that his league doesn't need any more players. According to the Kansas City critics George Stovall has assembled a band of demon stickers. Mike Doolan is making plays in Baltimore which recall the shortstopping of Hughey Jennings. Say, isn't it about time for the Boston management to make its annual change of managers? Jack Coombs, the Athletics' iron man, is going to assist Ira Thomas in coaching the pitchers. Sam Crawford and Ty Cobb both are working steadily with the Tigers and are hitting the ball. Mordecal Brown to date is a much more successful manager in the Feds than his old pal, Joe Tinker. Shortstop Corhan of San Francisco made four hits in four times up off Pitchers Peet and Salveson of Portland. How would you like to be an umpire and have to announce Mr. Oeschger of the Phillies as the pitcher of a battery? The St. Paul club has arranged to secure Shortstop Dee Waish from the St. Louis American club in the near future. --- Third baseman Rilley, star of the Yale team, will in all probability become a professional when the college term ends. The Haverford club has signed Pitcher James Crawley, an eighteen-year-old southpaw, halling from Suffield, Conn. Connie Mack is growing extremely radical in his remarks. He says: "I wouldn't be surprised if we won another pennant." George Walsh, who played football and baseball at Fordham college, is trying to win a place in the outfield of the Superbas. What a clinch Charles Herzog is going to have this season. All he has to do is to "talk" an inferior ball team into the pennant. "This is the life," chuckle the Federal league backers, as they recall the direful predictions of the organized baseball magnates. Manager Bill Carrigan of the Red Sox, like Jim McAleer, ranks Tris Speaker as the greatest ball player in the world, not even barring Tyrus Cobb. St. Louis is well stocked with Milers. The Feds of that community have W. Miller and the Nats a Jack Miller, Charles Miller and a Miller Huggins. St. Louis scribes say that Bill James, now with the Browns, has "come back" with flying colors. James made two efforts with the Naps and was sent back as a failure each time. The New York Sun well says: "In giving the winning records of the American league pitchers a foot note should show how many times the pitcher in question drew Walter Johnson for his opponent." --- "Caruso" Beck is going so handsomely at Chicago's first base that he thinks he'll continue to earn his playing ball instead of singing at the movies. The movie fans may take this as good news or not. Manager Griffith resents the idea that "Doc" Ayres is a second-string pitcher. "Ayres is one of the best workmen on my staff," said the Old Fox "and he will show the other fellows that he has the real class before the season is very old." It is no longer necessary for George McBride to do all the covering of Washington's second base when steals are attempted. Ray Morgan has greatly improved in this respect, and he is now handling throws and tagging runners in an entirely competent manner. SCHALK IS STAR CATCHER SOX Ray Schalk, the catcher of the Chicago club of the American league, was born near Litchfield, Ill., in 1892. He began his professional career with the Taylorville club of the Illinois-Missouri league in 1911. From that club he was secured by the Milwaukee (American association) club in mid-season and at once became noted for his splendid work. In 1912 he attracted the attention of many major clubs and was finally purchased by the Chicago club in August, 1912. He made good with the White Sox at once and is now one of the star catchers of the American league. Miller Huggins' Cardinals look like a pretty fair ball club just now. Huggins says he has got rid of a lot of trouble makers. Nicholas E. Young, president of the National league for 19 years, is now forced to remain in his bed, being too feeble to be about. A Washington man says that to be a good polo player one has to be able to hit backword. Gee, several ball players would make good polo players. The veteran catcher-coach, Joe Sugden, says he never met a man with sounder baseball theories than Manager Branch Rickey, of the St. Louis Browns. ... Manager Frank Chance, of the New Yorks, is very much delighted with the spirit of his players and believes he will have a real ball club before the end of the season. Jimmy Callahan says Sam Crawford has eight years more of good baseball left in him. Evidently Sam must have shown Callahan something on that trip around the world. "Old Cy" Morgan, former Philadelphia American heaven, isn't all in by any means. Cy heaved a three-hit game for Kansas City against Columbus the other day. SPORTING WORLD Colts by Lord Revelstoke, 2:12%, are the sensation of the spring season at Vienna. * * * * It does seem strange that no Englishman ever called golf "nothing but glorified shiny." * * * * Abe Frank's, stable which is to go through the grand circuit will be trained by Bert Shank. * * * * Ben Whitehead will bring a rather formidable string from Tennessee to the Michigan short ship circuit. * * * * Gunboat Smith has practically agreed to box George Carpentier in London, June 28, for a purse of $25.000. --- The policy which Princeton will pursue in coaching the 1914 football team will be to develop the open game of kicking and passing. Don Johns, defeating a field of eleven riders, won the recent 100-mile motorcycle race at Phoenix, Ariz. His time was 1 hour 36 minutes 50 2-5 seconds --- Young Kansas, the Buffalo feather weight, has jumped his manager, Allie Smith, and has gone to New York with Frankle Erne, former lightweight champ. President Fitzgerald of the Western Skating association has asked the Amateur Athletic union to include roller speed skating in all national and international events. Yale university has raised $366,949 of the estimated $500,000 required to complete the bowl shaped stadium which it is hoped to have ready for the big football game with Harvard next fall at New Haven. Work has been started on the new Palmer Memorial Stadium at Princeton. Every effort will be made to complete the structure in time for the Yale game next November. The plans call for a seating capacity of about 41,000 persons. Stanislaus Zhyszko and Americus may soon wrestle for the championship. Negotiations are under way and several promoters are bidding for the contest, which will be to a finish. The National Cycling association, the government body of cycling in America, and a member of the International Cycling union, has conferred upon the Panama-Pacific International exposition the right to hold bicycling championships in connection with the program of sports to be held in San Francisco in 1915. --- TWO MODELS OF SHORT JACKET New Garment Without Doubt Is Here to Stay, and Many Will Welcome It. GOOD IDEA FOR COSTUME Ribbons or Silk Cords May Be Used in Place of Wide Sash—Corsets Undoubtedly Returning to Their Proper Degree of Favor. PARIS.—It is not easy to get away from the jacket that looks more like a sacque than a coat. Possibly one wants to avoid it, but it is not for the stout and the thin alike. One must consider the proportions if one has an idea of looking one's best, and not merely following a fashion. As all efforts to bring in the long incroppable coat have failed so far, one must take up the subject of this accepted short jacket with serious consideration. It is evidently the choice of the majority, and it is only natural to suppose that as the summer progresses the short affair will increase in fashion; as women have a rooted objection to wearing one inch more of material in this summer climate than is necessary, one is led to believe that we shall see that the lines of the figure cut at the waist line by this sacque coat on figures to whom it is becoming and to whom it is not. There are two models worn so far, writes a correspondent of the Washington Star. One is straight and follows the lines of the figure without touching it, and the other has a rippling back from shoulders to hem. This hem is only an inch or two below the waist line. None of these new coats, it seems, is to be so long as to hide the top part of the sash, for, mind you, the strongest Persian influence we have had in three months lies today in the hip sash, which goes lower and lower each week. **Good Effect in Short Coat** Mark this fact well, for in it lies many of the best possibilities of this short coat. It lengthens the line from the shoulders to the hips and allows many women to adopt the fashion who otherwise could not do it. On the slender figure the effect is admirable, and even on the women whose hips are perceptible the line is helped. It is difficult to see the beauty of the short waist except in gowns where the classic idea is consistently maintained, and this is not possible for the street. That is the trouble with all artistic endeavor in dress that is not backed by practical experience. I heard a story in Paris of how Leon Bakst once designed some wonderful gowns for two Russians of high degree to be worn at a fancy dress ball in court circles in St. Petersburg. When they were given to a dressmaker he was in despair as to how to make them. They looked marvelously well on paper, but they could not be cut nor put together in cloth. They were soap bubbles that could only be imprisoned in paint. Finally this dressmaker called in the designer and demanded that he be shown how to make these creations. Bakst gathered all the fitters and cutters belonging to this famous house, and this staff worked for days without result. When the gowns were finally finished they were impossible and utterly unlike the colored drawings that Bakst had made. The Russians of high degree were compelled to throw them aside, although they had cost $300 aplace. Others had to be made by the practical dressmaker. All of which goes to show how the lack of practical knowledge is a decided drawback to great artists. It is possible for this reason that every attempt in the line has been a failure. And when artists talk about the beauty of the high waist line and insist upon it as an adjunct to our costumes they forget, or do not consider, the fact that this kind of waist line demands a consistent silhouette (which is the original subject of this discussion). It was one of the ugliest features of modern dress when allied to a tight skirt and kimono blouse. Now that it has disappeared to a large extent, one is grateful. The long waist line of other days has not appeared, but each week shows fashion returning to some form of drapery that gives the impression of a long line from shoulder to hip. In the past there have been many ways of making this feature ugly, and so one hopes that the Orient will continue to exert its influence upon the style. At present it is charming, and we are probably indebted to a street model in blue gabardine seen this week for showing us how it can be executed without loss of taste or undue primitiveness. Again the Long Waist. Women are beginning to lengthen the waist line without decreasing the fullness at the hips. The models that are being made for summer show the wide sash drapery as an adjunct to gathers or plaits. The woman who has undue flesh below the waist will not give a hearty welcome to this idea, but it is not more seriously inconveniencing than any of the other It Can't Be Done. Jim Brown and Tom Smith—to call them by name that are not their own—were roommates and companions in misfortune. One afternoon they came across a piece of money and they decided to eat dinner in a good restaurant to go to a show afterward. When they had eaten their meal and were calling for the check the one who was to pay dropped a five-dollar gold piece on the floor. They couldn't find it. "That gives us," said the other. "We "that fixes us," said the other. "We can't go to the show." fashions with which they have been struggling for the last three years. Nothing has been invented for so long a time for the woman with an old-fashioned figure that it is probable she has either given up all hope or has changed her type through exercise, diet, or dancing. How anyone can remain stout who indulges in dancing is a mystery. This pastime, or madness rather, has done more to keep and to make women thin than any other form of effort advocated for that purpose. Let me suggest a practical hint to those women who like the long-waisted effect and yet who do not wish to add the bulk of a wide sash to their hips. Use ribbons or silk cords, as Cheruit does on her new summer gowns, bringing them down over the hips in two or three rows. The idea is really good. The cords hold the gathers down, and so appease fashion, and at the same time they increase the length of line. This trick is also primitive. And if a woman went uncorseted the effect would be ugly to our sophisticated eyes, but when she is well corseted the arrangement is attractive. Corset Is Returning. Corset is Returning. And, by the way, corsets are coming into more favor than they have garnered for a year. Women are tired of going around without support, and they are realizing what the doctors told them—that civilization had deprived women of a natural support for their waist line and abdomen, as well as the soles of their feet, and that it was not possible at this late date to give the figure freedom without serious injury to it. All these facts taken together are responsible for the lengthening of the waist line, and by summer we shall have forgotten that we ever advocated the waist under the bust. Strange to say, there is no reasonable argument in favor of the return of the small waist, and there is no attempt to get this fashion again before the public, but it is probable, don't you think, that with the full acceptance of the long waist we shall surely come into the small one? This is not a pleasant thought, and, as the surgeons declare, it looks as though it would require a surgical operation to bring it about, but those of us who have watched woman change her silhouette and her mean- A Model of black tagal straw, trimmed with a huge wing of accordion-plaited taffeta. precensions have full faith in her ability to reduce her waist six inches in as few months. The Outgoing Tunic. The minaret is no longer with us for the summer. It has gilded out as quickly as it came. No more do the stiffened edges of soft fabrics swing around our hips, although there is no lack of drapery there, but it is part of the skirt, and does not come from an attached piece, unless one could call the new long overskirt by that name. One unconsciously thinks of it as the skirt itself, for it soon will be. Its lengthening, and the dropping of the narrow petticoat are very sure, the dress prophets think. And there are others, high in fame and prestige, who feel that the straight plaited skirt is bound to come in with the earliest styles of autumn, to be foreshadowed in Paris in June. The only dark shadow on the sky of the near future is the insistence by some of the dressmakers on what one writer has called the Buny styles. They are ugly, and even romance cannot redeem them. Not even the marvelous Anna Pavlowa can make them likable. She has introduced them into her dance to Weber's "Invitation to the Valse," and one is gled to hear the last strals of it, as the costumes spoil her grace and beauty; her appearance gives one a panicky feeling as to what will happen to those who are .not formed in the long lines of loveliness. Paradoxical "Do you know why the majority of heilresses fail to save money?" "No; why is it?" "Because they will husband their means." "Walt," answered the first, summoning the waiter. And to the waiter he said: "I have just dropped two five-dollar gold pieces on the floor. Please find them." The waiter searched and while the guests were putting on their coats he found the gold piece. "Thank you," said the guest. "Now when you find the other one keep it for the bill and your tip. Never mind the change." And they went to the show. ON THE FUNNY SIDE "Luckily for Me I Wasn't Bald-Headed," Exclaimed Man Rescued From Swimming Tank. A well-known athlete says that on entering a Turkish bath one night he found a stranger struggling in the swimming pool. There was nobody near, and the man was evidently unable to swim, having jumped in probably without ascertaining whether the water would be above his head. The athlete swam to the assistance of the struggling man. Grasping him by the hair, he towed him to the side of the tank and assisted him to hang on until he recovered his breath. What were the first words uttered by the rescued one? Did he stammer out thanks to his human preserver? No. The human mind is a curtis affair. As the half-drowned man struggled back to consciousness, memories of an old jest seemed to flit through his brain, for he said: "Luckily for me I wasn't bald-headed!" - New York Mall. No Comparison. An Englishman and an American were standing before the wonders of the Victoria Falls, in darkest Africa, when the Englishman said: "Surely you must concede that these falls are far grander than your Niagara Falls."
