Johnson, wife of Senator Johnson of Maine, is one of the women who do not permit the social demands of a season to interfere with her enjoyment of birds and trees. Like Mrs. Edwin F.

Like Mrs. Edwin F. Sweet, wife of the assistant secretary of commerce, Mrs. Johnson knows the botany of school girl days from cover to cover. Like Mrs. Sweet, also, she knows a great deal more than is contained on the well-thumbed pages of this text book on botany, for during 25 years or more of intimate acquaintance with outdoor life she has learned many nature truths for herself. At Mrs. Johnson's summer home at Belgrade Lakes, Me, she and Senator Johnson have for years played hosts to their friends of the featured 'tribes'. Food and drink for the birds are put The act of respiration being done unconsciously for the most nart, neo- ple are generally surprised when he told that they do not know how to breathe correctly, and that to this ignorance may be attributed the predisposition to take colds of all sorts and the celebrated national nasal twang of Americans. A "Is it not extraordinary that a woman will spend a fortune on her clothes, her hair, h a r complexion and her figure, and neglect entirely to care for her voice?" asks Miss Franziska Boas, an alert young German who is teaching New York women how to overcome the effects of the neglect of voice hygiene. "The whole effect of smart clothes and a beautiful face and figure is lost when such a woman opens her mouth to speak. And the cure is a comparatively simple thing—just a matter of correct breathing and voice placing. "You Americans speak so far back in your throat! Of course it is partly due to the language, which has few When royalty deigns to visit this land, the first assistant secretary of state becomes a national hero, as witness the popularity of David Jayne Hill following the visit of of Prince Henry of Prussia. But even when royalty stays at home the first assistant secretary occupies a pleasant post as to social considerations and a vastly important one in the political sense. MARIA MAYER The present assistant, Mr. Osborne, formerly member of congress from Wyoming, and later governor of the same state, has stepped into the inherited traditions of the office and may be described as one of the the forceful influences of the administration. The officials of the state department and the ladies of their families dwell in peace and unity together. Mrs. Bryan habitually has Mrs. Osborne The Kansas State Agricultural college, located at Manhattan, Kan., is the finest matrimal agency in that state.

Now just figure out for yourself the excellent chances for matrimony this affords any enterprising young woman who wishes to choose matrimony and motherhood for her career. If a girl graduates from Manhattan without at least one proposal, it is her own fault. Most of them return home with an engagement to their credit. Many very senior girl in the graduating class of 1914 is engaged to be married and is pursuing her classes in home economics with the laudable ambition to learn how to make her own home happy and enduring. Statistics prove that the Manhattan girls are successful home-makers. Of THE GAZETTE daily in the trees on their place, and are every day consumed with evident relish by their little guests. Mrs. Johnson knows all the birds and wild flowers of her home state, and during the three years that she spent in Washington since her husband was elected to the senate, she has not quilted her outdoor interests and activities. "It is appalling to think," says Mrs. Johnson, "what a meager knowledge of American history many of the younger generation have. I suppose they learn the dates and names of revolutionary war battles when they are at school, but these can mean nothing very vital to them, else they would not be forgotten so soon. If every American mother presented to her child in a vivid and picturesque way the story of the founding of the American republic; if she made Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Webster, Clay and other statesmen real heroes to her boy and girl, instead of so many names, why she would endow her children with the priceless heritage. The Daughters of the Revolution have done a great work in founding also the Children of the Revolution, but every American mother should feel it part of the duty of motherhood to teach her child American history." rich vowel sounds, but the English speak the same language and nasal speech is much rarer with them, probably because they give the vowels a deeper value than Americans do. But this habit of using chiefly the muscles in the back of the throat for speaking makes for nasal tones and overstrains those muscles so that hoarseness and colds result. "You speak with your breath instead of on it, that is, you use your breath to help to enunciate words instead of letting the words float out on the breath. "Every one who has studied singing with a reputable teacher knows that the placing of the voice and its very quality, almost, depend upon correct breathing. But the great majority of just average people go about speaking nasally or otherwise unpleasantly and attributing the fact, if indeed they pay any attention to it at all, upon the way God made them. But it is really due to the way they made themselves by breathing incorrectly. "Of course if there are obstructions in the upper air passages, such as adenoids and other growths, these must be removed, but their removal is not enough. People who have had these afflictions have grown so accustomed to breathing in a certain way while the passages were obstructed that even after they are cleared they keep the same bad breathing habits." as her chief aid on Wednesday afternoons, and whenever tradition sanctions a general entertainment of the foreign corps. Apart from her aid to Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Osborne has some imposing duties of her own. Usually she receives on Tuesday and her drawing rooms are crowded to their capacity. Diplomats, like others, prefer to have duty lie along a primrose path, as it does when the wife of an exalted official of the foreign office is so charming, young and vivacious. Mrs. Osborne is rather a unique person in that she has never joined any sort of club here or at home. She claims membership in only one organization and that is the Presbyterian church. "Not that everything going on does not interest me," she explained; "far from that, I delight in knowing what is happening, but I never felt that I could materially aid any good cause except by encouragement and approval. I find myself rather inexperienced to pronounce final judgment and I like to await developments. Perhaps later on, I may give actual expression to my approval of various good causes by joining the ranks of workers." the 891 living graduates of the school during the past ten years, 416 are happy wives and mothers—the majority of them living on farms. In the last ten years there have been graduated from this college, 1,473 men and 929 women. Of these 922 women, 38 are dead. Of the remaining 891, 416, as I said, are housewives. There are 118 still unmarried—as yet—and living at home with their parents; 290 are teaching in high schools and colleges of the different states. We might say right here that a Manhattan graduate is always in demand, according to the seads and scads of letters that pour into the college in the spring asking about possible teachers for other schools. The physician's profession has claimed six young women from Manhattan, while there are six nurses, five journalists and nine stenographers. Only one has taken up dressmaking for a livelihood, but four were brave enough to operate farms of their own. And that isn't all of the story. The most vital significance of these statistics lies in the fact that in 50 years there have been, but three divorces among the Manhattan graduates! Of these divorces, two of the husbands repented and reformed and were forgiven and remarried by the wives. The third divorce stands—for excellent reasons.

BRAVE DEEDS OF AFRO-AMERICANS BRAVE DEEDS OF AFRO-AMERICANS Group of Winners of Carnegie Hero Medals INSTANCES OF GREAT VALOR Substantial Rewards Bestowed Upon Gallant Protectors of Human Life by Trustees of Fund Established by Noted Philanthropist Ten Years Ago How the Money Is Paid. In 1904 Mr. Andrew Carnegie, one of the greatest philanthropists of the age, whose millions were made in the iron and steel business of Pittsburgh, created a hero fund of $5,000,000 of first collateral 5 per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation, which fund is under the control of a board known as the trustees of the here fund, Mr. Carnegie having directed that in case of death widows and children or other dependents are to be provided for until the widow remarries and until the children reach a self support age. In the event of disability the disabled to be provided for until again able to work. The maximum death or displacement benefit to be paid in any one year to any one family or dependent shall not exceed $1,000, the amount and manner of payment in each case to be fixed by the commission upon the recommendation of the executive committee, provided, in no case, however, shall death or displacement benefits be paid unless it shall be clearly shown that the dependents or disabled need such assistance. The following colored persons are among the Negroes who have performed heroic deeds since this hero fund has been established, and here is what they have done: John B. Hill, aged thirty-five, coachman, rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged twenty-one, from a runaway, Atlanta, Ga., by grabbing the bridle of one of the horses of a runaway team hitched to a landau containing the child and maid. After being dragged some distance he threw the horse. Bronze medal and $00 to reimburse him for the loss sustained on account of injuries. George A. Grant, aged thirty-three, teamster, sustained fatal injuries rescuing C. G. Campbell, aged forty-six, president of the American Painting and Decorating company, and Charles A. Whipple, aged forty-eight, superintending of building construction, from a runaway in Groton, Conn. Grass grasped the bridle of one of the horses, and finding himself unable to control the other horse because its bridle was off, he threw the one he had hold of and was kicked on the neck and run over by the vehicle. He died the second day after. Award, silver medal and $25 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for each of four children until each reaches the age of sixteen. Theodore H. Homer, aged thirty-two, waiter, rescued F. Berger, aged eight, from a runaway in Philadelphia Aug. 2, 1908. Homer ran seventy feet to meet a badly frightened runaway horse drawing a delivery wagon containing Berger and, grasping its bridle, stopped it within eighty feet. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. George E. McCue, aged twenty-six, porter, saved J. M. Herman, aged two, from being run over by a train in Garden City, Kam. McCue ran 500 feet, part of this distance on the track ahead of a passenger train running forty miles an hour, and, grasping the baby and its carriage, which had rolled on to the track, threw them aside and cleared the track himself, the pilot beam of the engine missing him by a few inches. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. Martha Generals, aged fifty-seven, housewife, rescued Peter M. Malkenes, aged nine, from electric shock in Wilkesbarre, Pa. Unable to release his hold of an electric light wire carrying 2,200 volts, the boy was being jerked about when Mrs. Generals grasped him by the neck and received a shock which temporarily paralyzed her arm. She appealed to bystanders to aid him, but none responded, and then she grasped the boy again and succeeded in pulling him free from the wire. Her hand was disabled for a week. The boy's hand was badly burned. Awarded bronze medal and $20 a month during her life. Harley Tomlinson, aged thirty-four farmer, died assisting in an attempt to save Oscar Colson, colored, aged twenty-seven farmer, from drowning. Norwood, N.C. During a flood of the Yadkin river, Tomlinson and another man in a bateau paddled 400 feet from shore to Colson, who was clinging to a wrecked flatboat, and had got Colson aboard when the bateau capsized. Tomlinson and Colson were drowned. Award, bronze medal and $15 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $2 a month additional for each of the three children until each reaches the age of sixteen. Frank Forrest, aged fifty-three, farmer, assisted in an attempt to save Oscar Colson and helped to save Henry C. Meyers, aged sixty-two, insurance agent, from drowning, Norwood, N. O. When the capsize captured Fresnau downstream 500 feet and was rescued by his son in a boat; then running along the bank a mile and a quarter upstream to get above Meyers, who was in a clump of trees 400 feet from land, he secured another boat and, accompanied by his son, rescued Meyers. Award, bronze medal and $500 to liquidate debt, for other worthy purposes as needed. Albert K. Sweet, aged twenty, machinist, attempting to save four children from drowning, awarded bronze medal. James L. Smith, aged thirty-six, puddler, saved Frances R. Hetrick, aged two years, from burning, Sistersville, W. Va. Breaking away from men who tried to restrain him, after two or three men had failed to enter it, Smith crawled through a doorway under a blast of heat and smoke and occasional names into the hall of a cottage, and then into the adjoining living room, which was dense with smoke, and grasped the child, who had been left there. Smith groped his way back to the open door, dragging the child with him, and when he reached the open air collapsed. He soon revived. His hands and arms and the back of his head were burned. The child sustained no burns. Award, silver medal and $1,000 toward purchase of a home. Boyce Lindsay, aged sixteen, delivery boy, saved E. Reynolds, Smith, aged eleven, from being run over by a train at Spartanburg, S. C. Slooping over one rail before an approaching string of box cars, when the front car was but four feet distant. Lindsay fung Smith from the middle of the track, where he had fallen from his bicycle. As he was straightening up to get back from the track Lindsay was struck on the right shoulder and whirled around against the side of the car. Neither was injured.

Steady Advance of Man Who Worked His Way Through College, Founded Hospital and Became Foremost In His Profession — Great Organizer, Promoter and Devout Churchman. Knoxville, Teen — From a farmer in a backwoods county in Georgia to one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the race is the record of Dr. Henry M. Green of this city, who enjoys a lucrative practice and is foremost in almost everything that is for the moral and intellectual development of his people. He was born in Barton county, La., Aug. 26, 1856. He received his early education in the public schools of his native county, after which he entered Knoxville college, where he prepared for his professional work. He graduated in 1856, having worked his way through college. His parents were unable to give him any assistance in his school work, but he decided that an education was within his reach and declared that he was going to have it. He believed in the proverb, "Where there is a will the is a way." He had the will and found a way. With his little learning from the Georgia public school he was prepared to do three things—be a Pullman porter, work in the coal mines or teach school. He used one of these during the vacations and did not have trouble in finding employment. He was a college graduate in bed making on a sleeping car and in digging in the coal mines, and every dollar earned in these places he invested in brains. Finishing at Knoxville college, he decided to study medicine because he had made up his mind to be a physician and surgeon. He went to Chicago, and when the Northwestern university threw open its doors in September, 1800, he was among the first to enter. He made such rapid progress that he was appointed an intern in the postgraduate medical school in Chicago. In this he got both theory and practice. He served out his time and then returned to Knoxville and finished his work in the Knoxville Medical college in 1901. Dr. Green decided to take a more thorough course in medicine and surgery and went to Edinburgh, where he pursued these subjects under the most competent instructors. While in Scotland he visited London, Vienna and Berlin. He gained much general knowledge by travel and observation. Having well qualified himself for his profession he returned to America and began the practice of medicine in Knoxville, Tenn. In order to have the best facilities for doing real work, he established the first hospital among our people in this section of the country. He has been doing general surgical work ever since. He is now the surgeon in chief of the Wallace Memorial hospital in this city, where he performs many difficult operations during the year. It is putting it mildly to say that Dr. Green ranks with such surgeons as Drs. D. H. Williams and G. C. Hall of Chicago and Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington. As a churchman he is very active, being a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church and is chairman of the trustee board. When it comes to the promotion of education he is always found in the front. At this time he is an active trustee of Roger Williams university, Nashville, Tenn., and Nelson Merry college, Jefferson City, Tenn. He is one of the surgeons for the Knoxville, Severville and Eastern Railroad company, the first member of his race in this city to hold such a position and the only one. For four years Dr. Green was a member of the Knoxville city council, and during his administration one of the best school buildings in the state was erected, and it now bears his name. As a member of the city council he had the respect of all the members and the personal friendship of the mayor of the city. One year ago Dr. Green called together several men with money and told them that it was possible for the race to operate a coal yard in Knoxville. While many people said that it would not do, he convinced Dr. J. J. Johnson and C. H. Fisher, and they put down the money. Thus the Colored Coal company, with a capital stock of $5,000, all paid in, was begun. A coal yard was fitted up, and because of the business standing of Dr. Green there was no trouble in getting all the coal needed. The Southern railroad delivers carloads of coal into the yard regularly. It is the largest coal business in the country operated by the race. Thousands of dollars' worth of coal is being unloaded into the yard, and large contracts have already been signed for coal for next winter. Five wagons are busy, and when next winter sets in it will be necessary to put on almost as many more. Employment is being furnished to a number of men of the race and young women as clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers. This is the way to solve the race problem. Dr Green has invested some money in real estate and owns a palatial home. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS ASSERTS CARRANZA MUST BE IN PARLEY Official Tells of Administration's Position in Mediation Negotiations. GIVES STATUS OF SITUATION Antilla Will Be Allowed to Enter Tampico unmolested—Rebel Chief Has No Objection to the Participation of His Delegates in Niagara Falls Proceedings. Washington, D. C.—For the first time a clear and comprehensive summary of the administration's position in the mediation negotiations has been obtained. It comes from a high authority—a man who has been intimately associated with the president and Secretary Bryan since the secretary first took hold of the Mexican problem. Three Distinct Parties. "It is futile," he said "to consider mediation without the Constitutionalists being included in any resultant plan. There are three distinct parties at Niagara Falls: The mediators, the United States and Mexico, represented by contending factions, the Huertaists and the Carranzaists. Now is it possible to conceive that you can deal with one-half of the Mexican entity and delude yourself into believing you are dealing with the whole? The United States will not take the responsibility of formulating a plan that calls for the participation of the Constitutionalists, which plan the Constitutionalists have not themselves joined in, and the attempt to see that Carranza will carry such a program through. Unless the mediators' viewpoint is warped by prejudice they must see that nothing can come of their good offices unless Carranza is brought into the parley." The status of the Mexican situation as outlined by this same official is as follows: 1—The Antilla will be allowed to enter Tampico unmoleted. 2—Carranza has now no objection to the participation of his delegates in the Niagara Falls proceedings. 3—The question is now being discussed at Niagara Falls as to whether Carranza shall agree to an immediate armistice or to one "pending elections," as suggested in the original demand upon the Mexican government presented by John Lind. 4—The participation of Carranza delegates in mediation, however, will be without prejudice to his advance on Mexico City. 5—It is said the American delegates at Niagara have been given by the administration a large number of names of Mexicans from which to select both a provisional president and certain members of his cabinet. 6—The Huerta delegates have also submitted a list of names and the process of elimination is expected to be tedious. Favors Compact Commission. Favors Compact Commission. 7- The American government favors a compact provisional governing commission and insists that the provisional president or head of the commission shall have no executive authority. 8- The administration is willing to accept Huerta's minister of foreign affairs as provisional president in order to smooth out the constitutional requirement that Huerta on resigning must turn over the government to his cabinet officer. 9- This, it is said, will not militate against Carranza's ambition to be first de facto president and afterward president by election. 10- That events have not shaped themselves as to impel the selection of Carranza as president of Mexico, and that no matter what form mediation assumes it will not interfere with this program as an actuality. 11- That in no event will Carranza's delegates sign a protocol which excludes his march to Mexico City or that provides an armistice before this is accomplished. SHOOTS MAN AND WOMAN FORMER SUITOR FIRES TWO BULLETS AT COUPLE AND THEN MAKES ESCAPE. Middletown, O—Charles L. Snyder of Dayton probably fatally shot Miss Frances Wright and John Gaskin it is charged by police. Snyder asserted, it is declared, the woman had promised to marry him, but refused, whereupon he is charged with having fired two shots at the couple, when he found them in each other's company. One bullet entered the woman's mouth and came out through her neck, while Gaskin was wounded in the neck. Both are in a serious condition. Snyder escaped. Miners Back at Work Pittsburgh, Pa.—Adjustment of the wage scale in the Pittsburgh district resulted in many of the 40,000 miners returning to work under contract that is to be in force for two years. Machine men are to be paid 69 cents a ton, pick miners $1 a ton and each miner is to be provided with an electric safety lamp which he can wear on his cap. The lamps are supplied with power from a storage battery, which is charged every day. The lamp is surrounded with every possible safeguard.

KERMIT ROOSEVELT WEDS MISS WILLARD COLONEL'S SON AND AMERICAN AMBASSADOR'S DAUGHTER MARRIED IN MADRID. Ceremony Takes Place in British Embassy and Is Performed by Rev. Watson, Pastor of American Church of Holy Trinity. Madrid, Spain—Miss Belle Wyatt Willard, daughter of Col. J. E. Willard, American ambassador to Spain, and Kermit Roosevelt, son of Col. Roosevelt, were married at noon June 11 in the chapel of the British embassy. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Samuel Watson, rector of the American Church of the Holy Trinity, Paris, assisted by Rev. Herbert Brown of the British chapel. KERMIT ROOSEVELT. The maid of honor was the bride's sister, Elizabeth, and the bridesmaids were Princess Thurn and Taxis, Glone le Verneur de Tillieres of Paris, Virginia Christian of Virginia, and Katherine Page, daughter of Walter Hines Page, American ambassador to England. The presence of Col. Roosevelt added greatly to the popular interest in the wedding. The bride's dress was of ivory satin and tulle with a court train. ONE KILLED, THREE HURT OCCUPANTS OF CARRIAGE ARE THROWN TO GROUND WHEN TRAIN HITS RIG. Shiloh, O.—A baby was killed and three adults were painfully injured when Big Four passenger train No. 11 struck a carriage containing the four victims at the Main-st crossing here. The rig was occupied by Frank Stoit, farmer; his brother-in-law, Frank Quinn; Mrs. Quinn and the Quinn infant, aged one year. Stout is a farmer living near Shiloh, and he was taking the Quinn family to his home for a visit. The train ground the horses to pieces, tore the carriage into fragments and threw all four occupants of the rig to the ground. The baby was tossed against the crossing gates and its skull crushed. Death was instantaneous. The three adults sustained cuts and bruises, but are not seriously hurt. Suffraget Invades Ball. London, England.—The ball and pageant in Albert hall commemorating the centenary of Anglo-American peace provided the most brilliant spectacle seen here for a long time. While Mrs Astor was taking her 'place beside Lady Warrender, who represented Britannia in the Columbia pagen, a young suffragett attired in red ran to the platform and began to shout an appeal. Her voice was drowned by the orchestra, and officials rushed forward and dragged her, shouting and strugling violently, out of the hall. --- The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY Riscakaad wana anion ae ene ‘Three Months.........000... 50 ea mit by postoffice money or der or registered letter Entered at the postoffice In Cleveland, ‘Ohio, as second-class matter. 7 aoe ogee opens HARRY C.

No man in America can express a homely truth in a more original and forceful way than Uncle Joe Cannon. “I believe,” he says, “that the Wilson Administration has given the average American less to eat than he had un- der a Republican Administration.” The President admits that there is a slump in business, but he says that “the condition is merely psychological and that no substantial reason exists why the country should not be in a Prosperous condition.” Our learned President evidently believes in the “faith cure” in economic diseases. ‘The fact that there ate a great many more Republican than Democratic cat: didates for places on the respective State tickets, is conceded to be an in ication of Republican confidence. It is being remarked that not for years has there been such a large crop of Republican candidates for places on local tickets as there are this year. HAS PUT ON HIS THINKING CAP. ‘That while he was crossing to Bu- rope Col. Roosevelt put on his thinking cap as to the trend of politics in his native country is an easy guess, Just about the time he returned from his South American exploring expedition several events happened which must have compelled his attention to the fact that things have been moving since 1912, and that the movement has not been toward the Progressive party The recent poor showing of that or- ranization in his great banner State of Pennsylvania must haye impressed him profoundly. No doubt he read ‘with care the editorials in some of the ‘most influential and best-informed met- repolitan journals plainly stating that all the indications are that the party of which he is the leader is rapidly dis- integrating all over the country, and that in all human probability even his €onceded wonderful and magnetic per- sonality cannot hold it together _as against ultimate reunion with the Re publicans. Indeed, just before saifing to Spain intimations eame trom the Colonel that he was inclined to approve of his followers endorsing Republican candidates if they professed Progres: sive principles. ‘The drift has set In—and nothing can. stop It.

As far as I am able to learn this has not been done, Feeling that you were not cognizant of the foregoing and pos: sibly do not realize how very harmful sch a pyblication is to the Colored veople of this community, I am writing to ask you to please see that proper correction is made. Such publications have! tremendous effect in increasing racial and color prejudice and, there- fore, are much more harmful to my people than representatives of other races can realize. I am sure I need $ay no more to you and also feel sure that you will comply with this reason- able request, just as soon as possible. If there is any question in your mind as to the correctness of what T herein quote the Chief of Police as saying, I shall be glad to have you call him over the ‘phone and verity It. If memory serves me correctly, the chief told me that he made a second request of your reporter for the correction so greatly desired. It may be that I did not get, correctly, your representative's name from the chief over the phone. Thanking you in advance for this, Tam, Yours very truly, : Harry C. Smith. June 4, 1914. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Blackstone Building, City. ,Dear sir and friend:—Yours of June 4th, containing a copy of a letter sent to the managing editor of The Press, received. I am greatly obliged for the kindness and interest you have taken in the matter. As I told you over the ‘phone vesterdas, T called Mr. Me ‘Clain, editor of ‘The Press, asking him to make a correction of the article in which he stated that an order had been issued to arrest all Colored men found in the parks, which he prom- sed to do. In the home edition of The Press a correction is made, but in such a manner that in my estima. tion the article was worse than the original, 1 therefore immediately wrote to Mr. McClain—a copy of the letter I sent you. Bither this letter or the one you had written caused a cor- rection to be made in The Press, to- day, which T am herewith enclosing, I presume that thie is about the best that we can expect, as it places our Instructions exactly “as they. were given. © Again thanking you for your inter- est, Tam, Very truly yours, W. 8. Rowe, Chief of Police. | June 2rd, 1914. Bugene MeClain, Esq., Manager, The Press, "City. My dear sir:—An article appeared in The Cleveland Press, June. 2nd, which stated that the Chief of Police, had issued an order to arrest all Col red men found in the parks at night. Permit me to inform you, that no such order was issied by me, or any officer connected with police headquarters. The order called for the arrest of all suspicious persons found lurking in the parks. Wil! vou Kindly correct the statement made in The Press ar- ticle 2nd oblige? Tam, Respectfully yours, W. 8. Rowe, Chief of Police. ) ‘THE SLEVELAND PRESS. Editorial Rooms.

My Dear Sir:—I enclose a clipping from our yesterday's issue containing Chiet Rowe's statement that he had ‘sstied no orders for the arrest of Col- ored men in the parks. In today's issue you will observe an editorial again calling attention to the fact. I will be very glad to hear from you at any time in regard to errors which may creep Into our columns. ‘Yours very truly, Eugene MacLean, Editor.

LAUNDRY AGENCY --- HOTEL DALE E. W. DALE. Owner. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS E. C. Branson, professor of rural economics at the State Normal school, Athens, Ga., recently addressed the Southern Sociological congress on the subject of negro progress. What he had to say is gratifying to those who hope to see the American negro elevated in education, citizenship and ambition. If Professor Branson is right, the American negro is working out his own salvation, not in the town, but in the country. In the southern states in 1910 the ratio of negro workers ran far ahead of that of negro population in general. For instance, in South Carolina, the negroes were 55 per cent of the population, but 68 per cent of the farm workers. In Mississippi during the last census period negro farmers increased at a rate nearly two and one-half times greater than the rate of increase for negro population in general. In Georgia the difference was even more pronounced. The drift everywhere among the negroes of the South is from the city to the country. Southern cities that between 1865 and 1880 were in a way of being overwhelmed by the negroes, now show in some cases, a diminishing ratio. In the South there are about one hundred thousand negroes engaged in teaching, preaching, the practice of medicine and law and in business en terprises. These are, of course, upward-looking negroes. But on the farms of the South there are 2,500,000 negroes, and most of these are looking upward, too. In the farm regions the southern negro is achieving a new economic status. He is rapidly rising out of farm tenancy to the farm ownership. He is becoming to the South what the "peasant proprietor" is to France and Belgium. He is finding that bank books and barns are more important at present than ballot boxes. Nearly one-fourth of all the negro farmers in the South own the farms they cultivate. This rural property is valued at nearly $500,000,000. The Russian serfs, after 50 years of freedom, have not made greater headway. They have not done so well, indeed. In their conquest of illiteracy. During the last census period the negroes of the South increased less than ten per cent in population, but they increased 17 per cent in the ownership of farms, against a 12 per cent increase of white farm owners. The negro farmer now owns $27,000,000 worth of farm implements and tools, $177,000,000 worth of farm animals and $273,000,000 worth of farm lands and buildings. In 1880 Georgia negroes owned 580,664 acres of farm land, but in 1910 they owned 1,607,970 acres. Negro property upon the tax lists of Georgia now amounts in value to $34,000,000. The facts show a dwindling ratio of negro population in the southern state except Arkansas and Oklahoma; a decreasing ratio in the cities of the South, but an increasing ratio in the farming regions of every southern state except Louisiana. Hampton Court palace, London, may become the home of Lady Scott, widow of the South pole explorer, King George, it is said, having decided to make the offer. These apartments are occupied principally by the widows of men who have greatly distinguished themselves in the service of the country in a naval, military or civil capacity. The only stipulation made by the king when he offers a suite is that the recipient may not sublet rooms to any one without obtaining permission from the court. Hampton institute, the pioneer among the schools for teaching negroes and Indians, has decided that in the future it will not give a diploma to any boy or girl who has not received definite vocational training According to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the institution, the result of this will be a better prepared body of rural teachers. A great many of the Hampton graduates go back among their own people to teach the things they have learned in school. "In order to make their training more effective," says Dr. Frissell, "much thought has been given to the selection of new students. The application department reports that 2,328 letters have been written this year; 1,536 application blanks have been sent out; 809 have been returned; 384 admission cards have been issued, and 237 applicants have entered." The Times of Ceylon has been investigating the possibility that Ceylon may be able to produce raw ramine fiber for supplying the ramine mills of the United States and Europe. Colored people who take Booker Washington's advice and become farmers will make no mistake. The farmer enjoys the most independent existence on earth. What surer recipe than that of acquiring financial competence can there be for minimizing if not entirely removing the handicap of social ostracism? Through the work of the Minnesota agricultural botany department of the agricultural college it will soon be possible for farmers to become familiar with the seeds of 96 varieties of weeds. Los Angeles county, California, now has a legally constituted officer known as "public defender"—said to be the only one in the world. It is the duty of the public defender to work as diligently in the defense of any accused person as the district attorney does in his prosecution. During a recent severe rain storm in Eastport, Me, the tides were the highest of the year, rising 28 feet 3 inches. The average rise and fall of the tides at Eastport are about 18 feet. Judge McCants Stewart of the supreme court of Liberia says that the affairs of the African republic are in better shape than for years past, owing to its financial reorganization under the guidance of Reed Page Clark who was loaned by the state department to handle the customs receipts of the nation, in connection with the assumption of the national debt by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Clark, as acting chief, was assisted by officials of the English, French and German governments. Stewart says it was some time before the system got under way, on account of the bond issue, but it is now very successful, and there is no friction similar to that of Persia during Shunster's stay at Teheran. The British Bank of West Africa has a new building at Monrovia, with tour branches. A German firm has asked for a concession for a railway in Monrovia, to run 100 miles inland. Another German firm, and Lever, the English soap manufacturer, have both sought the palm oil concessions. It is understood that American capital has not shown great interest yet in Liberian operations, but it would undoubtedly be welcomed, because it is not considered that financial investments by American merchants and capitalists would be followed by any policy of imperialism such as might follow the investment of German or French money. President Howard, according to Judge Stewart, is having a very successful diplomatic administration. Major Charles Young, a West Pointer, has done great work in organizing the constabulary. Judge Stewart will sail from Liverpool in company with George Washington Buckner, the new American minister to Liberia, and Leutenant Martin, who will assist Major Young with the constabulary. The pastors of the colored churches of Indianapolis conducted a memorial service in the auditorium of the colored Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of the Martin R. Delaney post of the G. A. R. and the Women's Relief corps. The Rev. D. P. Roberts of Bethel church was master of ceremonies. The proclamation authorizing the observance was read by Miss Susie Wilson. The Rev. C. W. Lewis conducted the Scripture lesson. The Rev. J. R. Harvey offered the invocation. Short addresses were made by the Rev. W. H. Weaver. J. H. Lott, the Rev. H. L. Herod, the Rev. W. S. Hodge and the Rev. Father A. H. M. Loney. A choir composed of members selected from the choirs of the various churches sang. A parade by the veterans, headed by the Y. M. C. A. band preceded the services. Several lodges acted as escorts for the G. A. R. men. Results of anti-typhoid inoculation among the French troops in Algeria and Morocco during 1912 were reported by Professor Vincent at the recent international medical congress in London. In western Morocco, while about 16 per cent among the non-inoculated contracted the disease, only one in 5,000 among the inoculated did so. The average output of coal to each person employed in the industry in the United States is a little more than 600 tons, in the United Kingdom 266 tons, in Germany 240 tons, in France 188 tons, and in Belgium 164 tons. The party of negroes assembled by "Chief" Alfred Charles Sam have sailed to establish a colony on the Gold Coast of Africa. The steamer Curlyba, chartered by Sam kist winter and brought to Portland, Me., for over hauling, has been changed from Cuban to British registry and now bears the name of Liberia. "We will first go to Norfolk to take on our bunker coal," said Sam, "and we will then head for Galveston, where many of the colonists are waiting for us. We will have accommodations for a few over sixty." Capt. McKenzie of the Holy Ghost and Us society will be master of the steamer. In Stavanger, Norway, even peasants and fishermen use electric lights. The engineer of the municipal electric plant has organized a class of housewives for instruction in the use of electricity-heated cooking apparatus. The New York Housewives' league has engaged several women to act as inspectors in their crusade against cold storage food. Two London daily newspapers—the Mail and the Chronicle—are insuring their readers against rail accidents. The London Express figures that the odds against death from injury caused by accidents to trains are $0,000,000 to I, while London Truth estimates the value to each subscriber is six cents a year. Investigation in North Carolina has shown that school attendance in cotton-mill communities is always lower than in rural or even mountain districts. There are now about 40 "psychological clinics" in the United States, according to Dr. J. E. Wallin of the University of Pittsburgh. The first of such clinics, for the purpose of studying and classifying mentally unsound children, was established in the University of Pennsylvania in 1896. For the first six months of 1913 diamond digging areas of southwestern Transvaal (these having no reference to the diamond mines proper) produced stones of a total value of $1,354,882 BASEBALL Dick Egan is doing well at short for the Dodgers. Manager Fred Clarke has but 24 Pirates on his roster. Johnny Evers has been elevated to leadoff man for Boston. Mowrey is doing great stickwork for the Pirates these days. SAIER IS WILLING PLAYER MILITARY HIGH Worn With CH the Best D Smart W QUEEN MARY To Her May Be Gowns of Cloth Pleased With Night at Carrigan is having a tough time of it with his pitching staff. Christy Mathewson is in form and pitching wonderful ball. Ray Caldwell is twirling some beautiful games for the Yankees. Red Dooin has an outfield that is hitting for an average of 448. The St. Joseph club has secured Pitcher Barney Duffy from the Pittsburgh National club. Hank Robinson of the Cardinals has a half-balk motion to first that is as good as the one Ed Walsh has. Harry Williams, the Yankas' first sacker, is a close student of Frank Chance's style around first base. Fred Clarke is sure one lucky guy. The experts picked his team to get a bad start and worse finish this year. Several major league managers declare they are going to use McCraw methods this year. Well, there'f one — Connie Mack—who won't. --- The Senators have signed Douglas Neff, captain of the University of Virginia baseball team, and conceded to be the best shortstop in the East. Willbert Robinson promises to become one of the most popular managers Brooklyn ever had. The fans of the Church City are all rooting for him. . . . One of the most improved young players in the U. S. A. is Captain Peck-inpaugh, of the New Yorks. This once awkward performer is a master at shortstop now. "Ham" Hyatt is kept in the limelight by his successful pinch-hitting. Hyatt's timely wallops have placed more than one game on ice for the Pirates so far this season. Colonel Hedges threatens to put an end to gambling on the Brownns. This causes a New York contemporary to remark: "But why should anybody gamble on the Brownns?" Pitcher Douglas, the Pittsburghs' big right-handed recruit from Spokane, is an image of Cy Burger, of the Pittsburgh Feds. He works about the same as the ex-Dodger. Twenty-five years ago; John J. McGraw, now manager of the New York Giants, was drawing down a salary of $360 per year as a ball player. And now—aw, what's the use? Says the New York American: It is hard to dope the race in the American league this season. For the life of us, we can't tell which team will finish next to the Athletics. --- Turk Leary, Brown first baseman is playing a fast game around the initial sack. He has filled a long felt want, as first base has been the Brown's weak spot for years. The Giants' midget third baseman Milton Stock, has so far more than made good McGraw's confidence in him by filling the shoes of Shafer and Herzog at the difficult corner. Connie Mack has released Brick McInnis, a brother of Stuffy, the first sacker of the world's champions. Evidently Connie does not believe that baseball talent runs in families. . . . The Boston Braves are planning a keener strategic game, says Bill Phleton. Evers, always a little fox, will keep on scheming at second, and he has been reinforced by Kraft at First. --- It is expected that Cincinnati will show more speed on the bases this year than ever before. Manager Herzog has been drilling the men in this and he is a star oase runner himself: Southern league teams will play off postponed games at the first opportunity. It is figured that the schedule so crowds games that it is advisable to let postponements pile up until late in the season. --- "What have the Pirates got to make any pennant fight with?" queries an exchange. Nobody in the world—but Wagner, Koney, Viox, Mowrey, Carey, Gibson, Adams and three or four more. Lloyd Bishop, the big right-handed pitcher of Kansas university, just signed by Cleveland, was also one of the university's star football players Catcher Billings, of the Naps, was also secured from Kansas university. --- The parents of Thompson, pitcher of the Jersey City Skeeters, probably did not anticipate that he would be come a professional base ball player when they called him Cecil. --- Frank Chance declares he has made up his mind to retire permanently from diamond activities. "Williams looks so good to me on first base that there is no need to continue the order of keeping in playing trim," he said yesterday, "especially when I could not expect more than a year of usefulness." CIN Vic Sater, the bright young first baseman of the Chicago Cubs, is not only a splendid ball player, but a willing one—and willing ones, according to all reports, are at a premium on Hank O'Day's team. Saler's rise to fame has been rapid. He really spent but one season in the minors and jumped to the big show with a rush. History tells that he might not have remained but for Roger Bresnahan, who is now his team mate. Murphy was going to send him back to the minors in 1911, but Bresnahan, then manager of the Cardinals, refused to waive and Murphy kept the player rather than let him go to St. Louis. Neither Chance nor Murphy could appreciate Sater, and it was not until Evers became the Cub manager that he really secured the recognition due him. Hank O'Day ought to have one card in his favor as manager of the Cubs. He is a native son of Chicago. Fans are more or less merciless, however, and Hank will have to hold up his end like any manager not native to the windy city. --- Frank Truesdale, the new Yankee second baseman, says that he has not yet warmed up to his work. He has been working on his farm in the South all winter, but predicts that there will be a big change in his playing as soon as the weather gets warm. Claude Cooper, who deserted the New York Giants, is playing a snappy game for the Brooklyn Tip Tops. Cooper's hitter is a big feature of his play. Manager Bradley seems to think that he picked up a coming star when he landed the former Giant.

MILITARY CAPES HIGH IN FAVOR Worn With Charming Effect by the Best Dressed of the Smart World of Paris. QUEEN MARY SETS FASHION To Her May Be Attributed Mode of Gowns of Cloth of Gold—All Paris Pleased With Royal Visit—Gala Night at the Theater. PARIS.—I saw this week one of the latest models of the popular military capes which have so completely captured the affections of the Parisiennes. At the famous Auteuil race meeting, graced by the presence of King George and Queen Mary of England, capes of this order were to be seen on every side. This is a style of garment which the ultra-chic Parisienne knows how to wear with extraordinary grace and charm. She throws it back carelessly from the shoulders and allows it to fall in perfectly straight lines from shoulders to hem. The model is a Rouff creation. It is made of mouse-gray cloth, with linings of petunia-red silk. The quaint "bretelle" sash is made of the same material, and this sash is passed through two long slits at the back of the cape and then tied in a large bow. The large directoire collar is also made of petunia silk and the sash is crossed over the bust, in brettele fashion, and then passed under the arms and tied as I have just described. Such a cape as this would look splendid in navy blue cloth lined with Pompelan-red silk, the collar and brettele sash being in soft black satin, or in hedge-sparrow-egg blue liberty cashmere with linings and sash in soft black surah silk. Long Capee Much Worn. Long capes in deep crimson cloth are very much worn with black satin costumes, or the same style of garment in empire-green chiffon cloth, with linings of "Martine" printed silk. Capes of this order have completely taken the place of kimono wraps, even for evening wear. Some of the new evening capes are as becoming as they are beautiful. Made of the softest satins and brocades, these capes are lined with printed or hand-painted gauze and decorated with costly embroideries. At the opera I have seen such capes made of gold and silver gauze and embroidered in delicate silks and glittering patlettes. Since Queen Mary's visit cloth of gold has become a favorite material for evening dresses and mantles. The Parisiennes were enchanted with the queen's royal appearance at the gala given at the opera when she were a trailing gown of cloth of gold veiled in glistening tulle. The scene in the famous theater on that night baffled description. All Paris was present and everyone appeared in the most exquisite gowns and jewels. It was, of course, a "tiara night," and I noticed that many of the more effective tiaras were wide rather than high. Some of these splendid hair ornaments were made in the fern-leaf pattern, small, thin fern leaves in diamonds standing erect from a band of single stones. Madame Poincare's Costume. Madame Polincare was one of the few notable women present who did not wear a diamond tiara. She looked charming in a lovely gown composed of ivory satin and ivory chiffon richly embroidered in silver and pearls. In her dark hair, which she always dresses very simply, she wore a large diamond aigrette, and on her neck she had a diamond collar of historic value. One of the loveliest dresses in the opera house was that worn by Comtesse de Talleryrand-Perigord. This robe was composed of leaf-green satin veiled in pearl gray chiffon embroidered in green pallettes and diamonds. The corsage was mass of fine embroideries and there was a swathed sash of pale rose crepe de chine which was fastened at the waist by a cluster of almond blossoms. This was a particularly uncommon gown, and it proved admirably becoming to the countess. Another notable dress was that worn by Duchess de la Rochefoucauld. It was in rose Dubarry mirror velvet, with a tunic of rose-colored chiffon covered with Indian embroidery in pale gold threads. The corsage was decollete in the 1830 style and the duchess wore a magnificent necklace of diamonds as well as a low diamond tiara. White was very much worn at the opera on the occasion of the gala. Superb Floral Decorations. The floral decorations were superb and so many uniforms were worn by the officers present that white gowns gave specially good effects. On the occasion of the royal visit the Avenue de l'Opera was particularly well decorated. At close intervals large placques, on which the royal monogram appeared surmounted by a gold crown, were swung from poles, high above the street, and between each pole there were long garlands of pale pink roses. in the rue de la Palix the windows Sootfall of Cities The sootfall of Pittsburgh, as determined from careful measurements during the last year, ranges from 695 to 1,950 tons a square mile per annum. The destructive possibilities of this immense deposit may be illustrated by stating that if an equal amount of lamphack were ground with oil so as to form black paint it would cover from 17 to 57 square miles with two costs. Statistics of sootfall at certain places in Great Britain are as follows: Industrial section of Leeds, 529 tons; center of the famous dressmakers' establishments were crowded with elegantly dressed clients and with pretty mannequins. A charming idea was carried out when the king and queen drove down the rue de la Paix on their return from the military review at Vincennes. A number of mannequins flung thousands of rose petals down on the passing carriages and both the king and queen looked up and smiled their thanks for the perfumed carpet which had fallen at their feet. Comfortable Short Vell It is a long time since veils of the kind shown in the sketch were in fashion. And this is surprising, since the short veil is as comfortable as it is practical. Every woman knows how disagreeable a long veil is during the hot summer days, and equally uncomfortable on a frosty day in winter when the fine net becomes damp. The latest short veils are made of real lace, but they look equally well in spotted net or in lined tulle. There is another veil worn of more eccentric order. This is gathered round the brim of the hat and again gathered under the chin, the soft folds being confined by a narrow black velvet ribbon. These gathered veils are by no means universally becoming. On some women they look very smart and attractive, but unless cleverly arranged they are apt to look a little dowdy. A hat that has found favor is a "bowl" shape in pale mastic colored [Illustration of a helmet with a feathered crown.] One of the New Vells in Navy Blue Spotted Tulle With a Blue Velvet Ribbon. chip. The border is covered with a quillling of mastic taffeta and a large black horsehair mount stands high in front. In the White Lace Vells. Plain white lace vells are again very fashionable, but this season they are harply face from the eccentric designs of impossible flowers which made the vells of last year so difficult to arrange. The new white vells have a delicate design worked on the hem and they are covered with small spots, about the size of a pea. In a faint cream shade they are very becoming to the complexion, but I must again remind my readers that white vells must be constantly washed or cleaned. Indeed this applies to all face vells. A famous Parisian doctor has publicly stated that a vast number of bad complexions are due to the use of solled powders, and the length of hair not lie close to the skin and rub against any little imperfection that may show itself on the face. First a tiny plumple arrives, then this plimple becomes red and ugly. Finally—perhaps—something like a boil appears, and everyone wonders "why." The answer is easy to find. A soiled veil has poisoned the skin. It is an easy matter to wash a lace or net veil and one is well repaired for the slight trouble.—Italia De Villieres, in Boston Globe. Printed Stockings Printed stockings are now the thing. The designs, small flower clusters, birds, butterflies and odd futurist patterns, are printed on the white silk instead of being embroidered, and as the printings run from the tip of the toe almost to the knee, up the instep, the stockings are suitable for wear with buttoned boots as with slippers or pumps. Skirts are so short now that the stockings are in evidence almost as much with buttoned boots as with slippers and buttoned boots for summer wear are so dainty and desirable that many women prefer them with formal costumes on account of the style and correctness they give the street costume. Nagging Children. We hear a great deal about nagging wives, and even something about nagging husbands, but How about nagging children. There are plenty of them, and they never give their mothers any peace. This habit should be broken. Children that are allowed to nag only become more and more restless and discontented. Felt at Home.

They were talking about the doctor and his diagnosis in the lobby of a Washington hotel the other evening when Congressman Thomas G. Patten of New York told of an incident that happened in Gotham. Some time ago, he said, an esteemed citizen who wasn't enjoying his usual appetite and cheerfulness, consulted a physician, and was told he had to tobacco heart. The information he imparted to his sympathetic friends. A few days later one of his friends met the doctor on the street. "Say, dog," remarked the friend, "did you tell Jim Murphy that he had to tobacco heart?" "Jim Murphy," repeated the doctor, thoughtfully. "Yes, I believe I did. Why?" "Nothing," was the smiling reply of the friend. "Only if you had ever smoked one of his cigars you would have been able to bage heart." Philadelphia Telegraph.
