AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS IN UNION THERE IS THE WORLD THIRTY-FIRST AFRO-AMERICA Hampton institute is an undenom- inational school for the training of teachers and leaders in agriculture, the trades and community work. Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-principal of Hampton institute, has said: "Moral qualities, which in the aggregate make strong character as well as economic efficiency, are developed through the combination of industrial work by day and academic work by night, as they could not be by either alone, and longer hours are made possible in the trade, agricultural and domestic science departments. "Every student in the trade school has one hour of study early in the morning, eight hours of work in the trade school, and two hours of academic work in the evening period. This makes 11 hours a day, outside of which he must get time for meals, the care of his room, religious services and recreation. Yet the students gain in health and skill, in scholarship and in character." To ambitious negro and Indian student, the following courses are offered: Academic-normal, covering Students Learn Art of Dressmaking. four years of work for those who are preparing to become teachers; an agricultural course of four years; and a trade course of four years in any one of thirteen trades, including building industries as well as such indoor trades as tailoring and printing. In the agricultural courses the Hampton school has the opportunity of learning the best modern practise in field, garden, orchard, greenhouse, horse barn, dairy and poultry houses. Hampton sends out "agricultural missionaries." Mere bigness has never been a goal at Hampton. Every department has grown in natural response to the pressing needs of the races receiving training. Today, between 1,200 and 1,300 students, including some 40 Indians, are enrolled. The industrial accident insurance commission of California has published a decision that it is illegal to reduce wages to meet the cost of insurance against the compensation risk on employees. Plans for an orphan asylum to accommodate 400 negro children and to be erected adoloping the estate of August Belmont at North Babylon, L. I. are being discussed. Mr. Belmont also has a big place at Hempstead L. I. The promoters of the orphan asylum are said to be negotiating for the purchase of the Edwards farm of 100 acres owned by the receivers of the Dean Alvord company. The principal feature of this farm is an extensive nursery farm. There are several buildings on the tract and these it is expected, will be remodeled for the use of the negro orphans. The general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States endorsed the work of the Anti-Saloon league, the National Temperance union and the Woman's Christian Temperance union. According to the report of Rev. Mr.-McCleland, $247,000 was expended last year by the freedman's board, an increase of $34,000 over the preceding year. The money was spent for evangelistic and educational work in the four negro Presbyterian synods in the South in which 45 new schools were erected. A full report of the sixth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in Baltimore a few weeks ago, appears in the Crisis, the magazine published by the association. The meeting was addressed by many prominent friends of the colored people, and disclosed interesting facts and figures about the recent progress of the race. The same steam engine has been pumping water out of a coal mine in England for more than 100 years. THE GAZETTE Farming offers an inducement to Missouri negroes unsurpassed by any other calling and solves the problem of their future by giving them opportunities and advantages which no other vocation holds out, declares Commissioner John T. Fitzpatrick in a bureau of labor statistics bulletin. The negro population of Missouri is 15,452 men, women and children, with 43,960 living in St. Louis, 23,560 in Kansas City, 4,249 in St. Joseph, 1,995 in Springfield, 801 in Joplin, 1,871 in Sedalia, 1,846 in Hannibal and the others scattered over the state, including the few that now own farms and others engaged in husbandry. Out of the 280,000 farms in Missouri approximately 3,753 are owned by negroes. They range in size from 3 to 260 acres and are worth, land, buildings, live stock, and everything else on them, $27,768,750, using the average value of a Missouri farm $7,405 as the basis for computation. The farm of the average Missouri negro farmer, just like that of his white brother, the bulletin says, is well kept and well stocked, and is very productive, growing wheat, corn, oats, grasses, watermelons, strawberries, peaches, apples and all other food necessities. Negroes raise poultry for the market, sell eggs, milk and butter, have beesives and plenty of honey, produce sugar cane which, in fall, they boil out for sorghum molasses. Their daily menu is made of the best things they produce, being far superior to that of the average city negro. Who half the time is out of work because it is too busy to buy food. The hego farmers are full of comforts and joy. In winter most of them are well housed, warm, snug and well fed. Free fuel wood furnished by the timbered lands in and around their farms does away with coal bills. Every Sunday there is chicken, sweet potatoes, honey, dumplings, apples, nuts and other dainties, with strawberries or watermelon in summer and turkey or duck and mince or pumpkin pie in winter. Fresh eggs and hickory smoked sugar cured ham is an ordinary breakfast. Nearly every negro farmer of Missouri has a bank account, and his profits allow him to take a vacation in St. Louis, Kansas City, or some other metropolis once or twice a year. He owns three or four suits of clothes, with shoes and hats to match. A superintendent's report for the Washington's colored schools contains the following suggestive paragraph: "No other school population can present greater need for, nor a riper field for, this early training. Almost helplessly weighted with centuries of unfavorable conditions in the past, and with present environment largely inimical to proper moral and intellectual growth, many of the homes are not fitted to ogive to these tender years that care and training which insure bent to noble and manhood and womanhood. There is much due to private and society effort to supply this need, and it did much in directing the attention of congress to this great need and toward securing the public provision made. This public provision, though small, is large in significance, in the hope of larger provision it permits for the future." War in the Balkans closed the Dardanelles, which stopped the export of Russian wheat, injuring Naples' macaroni trade. Staining wood with beautiful colors while the tree is still standing is undergoing experiment. The dye is introduced at the root, and some trees take up three gallons of the coloring fluid in two days. If introduced when the sap is flowing most freely the results are quick and very marked. The colored tree is cut and used for interior or other woodwork and furniture. The experimental work conducted by the Canadian government in regard to the manufacture of peat proved so successful that there are now two private concerns producing peat, one at Alfred, Ont., and the other at Farnham, Que. It is said that the peat manufactured by the Canadian government is satisfactory for grates and also good for cooking. State authorities of Colorado are making a thorough study of minerals having or supposed to have radio activity, and authorities now assert that every curative mineral spring in Europe can be duplicated in that state. It is said there are 15 springs in Colorado having radio activity. The Philippine bureau of forestry reports that American and European lumbermen are trying to procure large and regular shipments of Philippine woods, mainly for cabinet making. A Sacramento man has proposed a plan to irrigate 9,000,000 acres of California land at a cost of $450,000,000. Five years ago the banana was scarcely known in Germany. Workmen in China's egg canneries receive ten cents a day. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1914. MAN OF BROAD LEARNING. Part Played by Well Known Educator In Contest For Funda Bequeathed to Afro-Americans For Education by the Late John C. Martin—Schooled With Distinguished Men. Atlanta, Ga.—Anything pertaining to the material uplift of the Afro-American folk is of vital interest to the millions of the race who live in the south. There are many well trained men in the race silently working for the masses without being heredied over the country. Among such characters is Dr. M. M. Ponton, who is a resident of this city. By his quiet and sane methods of doing things for the benefit of the race he has recently accomplished something that will make the entire race his debtor. Dr. Ponton had the pleasure of meeting the late John C. Martin, a man of wealth, some ten years ago and became a close friend of the millionaire. He interested Mr. Martin in the race and was instrumental in securing the large fund which was used to better educational conditions among Afro-American ministers in the south, through which hundreds, if not thousands, have greatly benefited, irrespective of denomination. Mr. Martin furnished all of the money for this specific fund, known as the John C. Martion educational fund, of which Dr. Ponton was field superintendent. It looked ) her dark for the race, so far as the moneys it was receiving from this educational fund of Mr. Martin were concerned, when he died. At his death a protest was entered against his 1012 will, which restricted the money from going to a nonsectarian board for distribution. Being such a large sum of money, there was much concern felt on the part of those interested in the education of the Negro race. Dr. Ponton became deeply interested in the will and made a strenuous fight for the race, and his success in DR. M. M. FONTON. saving to the race a large sum of money for education is inspiring. The following letter was received from Mr. L'Amoreaux, a member of one of the leading law firms of the country. It is in part as follows: "We wish to congratulate you and your brethren of the colored race on the substantial benefits that will be derived by your people through the board of freedmen, located at Pittsburgh, which we understand has in charge the field work among your people. The board of freedmen is one of the three Presbyterian boards which are residuary legates under the Martin will, of which Wing and I are executors. This is the will which has been admitted to probate and under which the board of freedmen will receive a very large legacy upon the distribution of the estate." Dr. Ponton recently returned from New York, where he was looking after the interest of the race in this respect. Although he is one of the leading factors in the great A. M. E. denomination, he is so broad in his efforts for the material uplift of the race that he is regarded as nonsectarian in his views when it comes to race development. He is a strong advocate of promoting educational institutions for our people. He founded the Turner Theological seminary of Morris Brown college, this city, and was dean of this department for seven years. He served a year at Morris Brown college, filling the chair of theology and philosophy, and resigned in 1907 to accept the presidency of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss. By his genius and manhood he gave Campbell college a place of high recognition among A. M. E. colleges in Mississippi. He received his A. B. degree from Lincoln university and later graduated from the theological department of Boston university. At this university the members of his year were Dr. J. W. E. Bowens. Bishops Thirkleid, Hughes, Bashford and Hamilton of the M. E. church, Governors Bates and Russell of Massachusetts. MUSIC CLUB GIVES RECITAL. How R. N. Dett Is Uplifting the Race Through Music. Norfolk, Va.—Music is one of the certain channels through which aspiring colored people can and do reach the hearts of sympathetic Americans. It affords the ambitious colored man, woman or child the effective medium of telling the thrilling story of the race's pain and hope, as well as the race's struggle toward the light of a better future. A successful concert here and there, a recognition of talent, a well balanced program, a new enthusiasm for the best music—these are signs of a new day for the Negro musician, proud of his race and prepared to make good in his calling. The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Music club recently presented in recital R. Nathaniel Dett, head of the Hampton institute music department, whose work as a pianist and composer has already received the hearty indulgence and warm praise of competent musical critics. Mr. Dett has succeeded in making old and young alike join forces in rendering well and together the music of his race and that of the so called masters. What R. Nathaniel Dett has done and is doing to give his own people the benefit of good music and to demonstrate to white people the musical possibilities of the American Negro should be an encouragement to struggling colored men and women who wish to dignify the race's folk songs and to interpret the race's inner call to song. Mr. Dett played a number of his own compositions, including the "Magnolia" suite—(1) "Magnolas," (2) "The Deserted Cabin," (3) "My Ladylove," (4) "Mammy" and (5) "The Place Where the Rainbow Ends." "In the Bottoms"—(1) "Frelude ("Night"), (2) "His Song," (3) "Honey," (4) "Barcacle ("Morning") and (5) Juba (jance); "Go to Sleep," "Carnival Waltz" and "Inspiration Waitzes." He also played Schryte's "Poloise Billaume," Grieg's Nocturne, Rubinstein's Staccato Etude and Coleridge-Taylor's "Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler." Among other musical numbers were: Foster's "Rose in the Bud" and Hamil's "Because I Love You," by Miss Blanche Smith; Devorak's Humoresque and De Berlio's Adagio, by William Kemp; "My Spanish Rose," by Miss Annie Spiller. Miss Eliza Coppage read "Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii." The officers of the Coleridge-Taylor Music club are: Miss Bessie Burke, president; Clyde Carter, vice president; Miss Eunice Galney, secretary; William Kemp, treasurer. GRADUATES SHOWER HONORS UPON REV. DR. G. M. P. KING King Gateway Dedicated With Impressive Ceremonies at Union University. By N. BARNETT DOD5ON. [Class of 1831—Wayland.] An important feature in connection with the commencement season at the Virginia Union university was the dedication of King gateway, at the entrance to the university, on Wednesday, June 3, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The gate was erected in honor of the Rev. Dr. G. M. P. King, who was president of Wayland seminary, in Washington, until Wayland and the old Richmond (V.a.) institute were consolidated to form the Virginia Union university, in Richmond, Va. Funds for the erection of the gate, posts and tablets were contributed by graduates of the two former schools and the present university in appreciation of Dr. King's great and unselfish services to them as individuals and of his services to the race generally as a true friend and educator. While Dr. King is not now engaged in teaching at the university on account of his advanced age, he is nevertheless deeply interested in the work of the institution. Addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. E. Nash, D. D.; Rev. Dr. A. Binga, Jr., and the Rev. Dr. R. J. Langston. Responses to these dedicatory addresses were made by Dr. G. M. P. King and President George Rice Hovey, D. D., who spoke for the university. A thrill of tearful joy filled every heart as Dr. King expressed his thanks for such a broad token of his efforts to advance the cause of human brotherhood through the medium of Christian education. Orchestra music for the occasion was led by Professor J. M. Sampson. The exercises were closed with the benediction after the following ode was sung to the tune of "America:" Of V. U. U. we sing. Long may her praises ring Through all the land! Sound out her words of praise; Monument to her praise; Make her light brightly blaze On all around. And thus we'll sound her praise Through all the coming days The land around. That, loving all mankind, She sought to ever find Some good in every mind, Bless V. U. U. May blessings on her rest, The rarest and the best, Heaven's choice gifts. May wisdom be her guild, May truth with her able. While years shall gently glide With V. U. U. Hampton Alumni Association to Meet. The twelfth triennial meeting of the Hampton Institute Alumni association will be held at the school in Hampton, Va. beginning Wednesday, July 15. Three hundred members are expected to be in attendance. Preparations for the business session and the reunion social functions are now being made. FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS Success of Miss Maud Reynolds In Roanoke, Va. ACTIVE IN MANY MOVEMENTS Story of How a Virginia Schoolgirl Won Her Laurels Through Own Energies—Founder and Organizer of Home For Wayward Girls—Educator, Author and Business Woman. Roanoke, Va.—The Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Miss Maud Reynolds of this city is the organizer, is one of the most helpful organizations in the state for work among young women and girls. Its activities, however, are not confined to the female portion of the race alone, but are exerted in the best interest of the people generally in the various communities. Miss Reynolds has worked her way to the front and desires to spend a life of usefulness for her people. She is one of the busiest women in the country. She was born in Petersburg, Va., but at a very early age her parents moved to this city, where she received her early public school training and where she is now conducting a hairdressing parlor. She finished the public school course in 1900 and graduated from the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute in 1902. She taught school for five years, making a reputation MISS MAUD REYNOLDS. tion as one of the best teachers in the entire school system in Virginia. She was loved by both pupils and their parents. In her business establishment she uses the most modern methods and keeps on hand a fresh stock of all necessary material for the accommodation of her patrons. Her parlors are on High School street, and she numbers among her customers some of the leading people of both races. She is energetic and endeavors to render the very best service to her patrons. As busy as Miss Reynolds is with her many business cares she devotes considerable time to uplift work among the people. She organized a city federation of women's clubs consisting of a Civie Betterment club, Mothers' club and Charity association, each of which is doing its work well and bringing good results to the race. It is the first time in the history of Roanoke that the playground system for children of the race has been introduced. She is president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the state organizer, and at the same time she is state organizer for the W. C. T. U. In these positions she has the confidence of the women throughout the state. She is doing a great work for the development of womanhood. Miss Reynolds has written a booklet on "How to Organize and Conduct Women's Clubs." This has been placed in many hands and has been of great assistance to the women. She has made a special study of the work. In educational movements she is to be found in the front rank doing anything in her power for the advancement of the young people in an educational way. She is secretary of the State Alumni association of the Virginia Normal and Industrial college at Petersburg, Va., and treasurer of the City Alumni association. Her special effort is centered in a state home school for wayward colored girls, and in this movement she has invited all the women of the state to join. Within four years they have purchased a farm of 147 acres at a cost of $5,400, about $1,500 of which is yet to be paid on it. For the home the state has appropriated $1,200, and just as soon as the people can convince the state that they mean business other appropriations will be made and the institution put on a permanent basis. The work of building will soon be started, and then more will join in the work. Several men of wealth have promised to contribute to the erection of the building. The Colored Population of Missouri. Recent statistics place the colored population of Missouri at 157,452, distributed in the various cities and towns of the state as follows: St. Louis, 43,390; St. Joseph, 4,249; Kansas City, 23,566; Springfield, 1,955; Joplin, 801; Sedalia, 1,871; Hannibal, 1,846. PRAISES FLETCHER OFFICERS AND MEN Daniels Writes Commendatory Letters to Those Who Captured Vera Cruz. GIVES MEDALS AND GRATUITIES Official Statement of Acts of Bravery for Which Recognition Is Extended Relates Thrilling Incidents Unpublished in Engagement in Streets. Washington, D. C.—Secretary of the Navy Daniels has written commendatory letters to Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher and certain other officers and men of the vessels which captured Vera Cruz and has given medals and $100 gratitudes wherever provided by law for the gallant conduct of officers and men in the taking of the city. Relates Thrilling Incidents. The official statement of the acts of bravery for which recognition is extended relates thrilling incidents hitherto unpublished in the engagement in the streets of Vera Cruz. About 40 enlisted men and about 35 officers of the navy and marine corps have been commended. The presentation of the letters and medals will be an impressive ceremony. All hands will be called to muster. The officers and men to whom the letters are addressed will be called to the front in turn, the letters will be read aloud by the captain or executive officer and then handed to the men commended. Seidom has a naval officer received such a letter of praise as the one written by Secretary Daniels to Rear Admiral Fletcher. In part it follows: Showed Valor and Courage. "The department in this letter to you recites its action in the cases of these officers and men who were under your command and in the operations of which you were the directing head, in order that you may know the high estimate it places upon their valor and courage and to indicate to you in some degree its appreciation of your connoisseur of the arts, formularies of duties, entailing as they did as grave responsibilities as could well be placed upon a naval commander, for in the department's opinion your performance of duty at the seizure of Vera Cruz equally entitles you to all the well merited praise and commendation that has been bestowed upon the officers and men whom you were directing. Lauds Fletcher's Ability. "It is a pleasure to add that it was fully expected that no matter what you were called upon to do, it would be done with a spirit and a degree of excellence that could not be surpassed, and these expectations were met, in every particular, under circumstances requiring professional ability and skill and courage of the very highest order. Your part in the operations at Vera Cruz is known throughout the length and breadth of the land and so nobly speaks for itself that the department finds it difficult to embody in a letter anything that could add to the satisfaction of having so capably performed under extraordinary conditions a duty which not only upholds but adds to the best traditions of the service which you adorn. It is with pleasure that the department places a copy of this letter upon your already distinguished record." ADLAI E. STEVENSON DIES BODY OF FORMER VICE PRESIDENT IS TAKEN TO BLOOMINGTON AND BURIED. Chicago, Ill.—The body of Adalian E. Stevenson, former vice president of the United States, who died at the Presbyterian hospital Sunday morning, was taken to Bloomington at night. Gov. Dunne, his entire staff and other state officials, together with former Vice President Fairbanks, were present at the funeral services Tuesday afternoon in the Second Presbyterian church. The body lay in state for two hours. The Rev. Dr. Ellott, the pastor, preached the sermon. Adalian Ewing Stevenson, once vice president of the United States, had a long and honorable public career. He was vice president from 1893 to 1897 under President Grover Cleveland. In 1900 he again was nominated by the Democratic party for vice president and ran with William J. Bryan, the party's candidate for president, but was defeated. He served as a member of the Forty-fourth and Fort-fifth congresses. From 1895 to 1898 he served as first assistant postmaster general under President Cleveland. He was 78 years old. Another Bomb Outrage. London, England.—Another sufraget bomb outrage was perpetrated Sunday in the famous church of St. George's Hanover Square. A can of gunpowder, ignited by a candle, exploded after the evening service, damaging a fine stained glass window. A disgraceful scene was enacted in St. Paul's Cathedral, where several women been yelling during the service, one being chained to a seat. Before being ejected the militants gave great trouble to the ushers, kicking and screaming. MRS. P. V. PENNYBACKER 1925 Mary. Percy V. Pennybacker of Texas was re-elected president of the General Federation of Women's clubs at the biennial convention in Chicago. URGES TREATY WITH COLOMBIA RATIFIED BRYAN APPEARS BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS. Says Approval of Pact With Regard to Panama Canal Will Remove Much of Prejudice That Now Exists Against United States. Washington, D. C.—"There are three reasons why I want this treaty with Colombia ratified: "1-It will produce amity between the United States and Colombia. "2-It will restore friendly relations between Colombia and the Panama republic. "3-It will create a good impression throughout Central and South America and remove much of the prejudice that now exists against the United States." Bryan Accompanied by Friend. These were the statements made by Secretary of State Bryan before the senate committee on foreign relations when he appeared to urge the ratification of the Colombian treaty with regard to the Panama canal and which he for the first time laid before the committee. Mr. Bryan was accompanied by his personal friend, Charles A. Douglas, who admitted on questioning by the committee that among his other activities he was counsel for the Nicaraguan government and for the Constitutionalists in Mexico. Judge Douglas went to the Capitol to support the arguments of the secretary of state in behalf of the Nicaraguan treaty. According to all reports from the committee, the hearing being secret, both Bryan and Douglas were closely questioned on all points involved. In response to questions about the expressions of regret in the Colombian treaty, which amounts to an apology, Mr. Bryan said it was a heritage from the last administration. Regards Amount Not Excessive. There was in the files of the administration, he said, a memorandum from former Minister DuBois drawn along the same lines of the language used in the pending treaty which showed that it had been approved by President Taft and Secretary of State Knox. Mr. Bryan intimated that in due time publicity would be given to this document to refute Republican opposition to his treaty. With regard to the $25,000,000 proposed to be paid Colombia, Mr. Bryan said he did not regard it as excessive. He called attention to the fact that in the treaty of a former Republican administration $10,000,000 had been agreed upon. The $250,000 a year as a leasing privilege for the canal, he said, if capitalized would bring the total up to $18,000,000, so that the amount provided for in the treaty could not be considered excessive. Must Pay Income Tax Washington—Co-operative dairies, farmers' mutual fire insurance companies and other similar co-operative institutions have been made subject to the income tax. Houses Passes Judiciary Bill. Washington, D. C.—General reforms in the federal judiciary are proposed in the Watkins bill, passed by the house and sent to the senate. The measure would prohibit judges of United States courts from expressing personal opinions in charging a jury and from taking away from a jury the determination of issues of fact. It would abolish the fee system of compensating clerks of courts, substituting salaries ranging from $2,500 to $4,500. This, it is said, would reduce the incomes of many court clerks.

SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1914. Films that insult and ridicule our people are being barred from moving theatres throughout the country on protest of members of the race. So protest. A Paul Lawrence Dunbar memorial service will be held at the Institutional church, Chicago, June 28. Some Ohio cities might follow this example with profit to our people of their communities. Messrs. Brown, Wilkinson, Butler and Wood, members of the race, clerks in the Post-Office at Washington, D.C., were "dropped" last week. Both the postmaster at the nation's capital and the postmaster-general are Texas democrats. "Nuff sed." We did not hear Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard's recent speech in St. Louis, Mo., but we did hear the one made in this city, possibly a week later, and are in a position to say that his criticisms, direct or indirect, of Dr. Booker T. Washington's course, as far as it has relation to our people, were good and perfectly satisfactory to the great majority of our people who heard him. And we think this is the "good lesson Mr. Villard learned" on his recent trip west. We say this particularly for the benefit of our esteemed contemporary, The New York Age. IOWA RETURNS TO THE G. O. P On June 8 the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer—who must be accepted as an impartial authority—had a lengthy special showing the tremendous slump in the Bull Moose vote, especially in Iowa, in the recent primaries. He starts out by saying: "Complete returns from the state-wide primary election held in Iowa last week are coming in slowly, but the incomplete figures convey to politicians the significant fact that the Progressive or Bull Moose party in that state is rapidly becoming extinct. * * * Two years ago President Taft received 119,805 Republican votes; Colonel Roosevelt polled 161,819, while Mr. Wilson, who carried the state, had 185,325." While 140,000 Republican votes were cast at the recent primaries, the entire Bull Moose vote will not exceed 8,000 and may drop to 6,000. After noting the Bull Moose slump in Pennsylvania and Indiana, the Enquirer correspondent reports: "In New York Bull Moose prospects are no more encouraging than the returns of last week showed them to be in Iowa. The demoralized condition of the Democratic party in the Empire state has led some Democratic leaders to anticipate the loss of the state next November. The state is increasingly as seriously stronger than they were in 1942, and the Bull Moose infinitely weaker. * * Thus, despite the brave front put on by various so-called leaders of the Bull Moose party, all signs just now point to a healthy revival of the G. O. P. and its reservation as one of the two major parties of the country." A SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT. Pettitics, holding over a thousand names, were filed at the Board of Elections, last week, by the editor of The Gazette, a candidate for a Republican nomination for state representative Petititions, holding between 300 and 500 names, were not filed with those mentioned in the foregoing because some were returned too late, while others were either unsigned on the back or not sworn to, as required by state law. In view of the fact that only 273 signatures were necessary in order to have our name placed on the ticket to be voted for at the primaries, August 11, we feel that we have every reason to feel proud of this splendid endorsement, so willingly and promptly given by our many friends and well-wishers of both races. More than 90 per cent of the signatures on the petitions were those of members of the race, because very few of our white friends were asked to sign, our people, apparently, being anxious to furnish all or nearly all of the signatures themselves. This is very gratifying, too, and gives us every reason to feel reasonably sure of an almost unanimous support from them. If this proves to be the case, the prospects for our triumphant nomination at the primaries, August 11, are very bright, indeed, because we have always been able to depend also upon generous support from our thousands of white friends throughout the county (Cuyahoga). We thank every citizen who honored us with his signature-endorsement and the promise of support it carried with it, and assure all that we thoroughly appreciate the same. COST OF THINGS. Dun's Review shows that the cost of things—notwithstanding the tariff—has not been lowered the past year. Ordinarily the price of important commodities should show a decline this time of the year, yet it is noted that there has been a net advance of 2.4 per cent over May 1 and of 0.9 per cent in contrast with a year ago, the figures referring to the wholesale quotations. The following table gives Dun's Index Number for June 1, with compa- sions for earlier dates: May 1, June 1, June 1, 1914, 1914, 1913, Breadstuffs ..... $21,544 $21,162 $21,277 Meat ..... 12,813 13,068 12,963 Dairy and Garden ..... 16,437 16,114 18,956 Others Foods ..... 10,467 10,610 10,250 Clothing ..... 19,969 20,886 10,705 Metals ..... 15,559 15,695 16,760 Miscellaneous ..... 21,441 21,761 21,570 THE TRADE OF TWO APRILS.

A Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Clerk of Common Pleas, Subject to the Primaries, August 11, 19 4. We give, herewith, an excellent portrait of Capt. P. A. Mackenzie, for years a stanch and active Republican campaigner—one of the best known in the city. He was one of the most active members of the lower house of the State Assembly in 1900 and is one of the best expert accountants in this section of the state. He has served P. A. MACKENZIE. in this capacity for both state and national governments in recent years, giving perfect satisfaction. For more than fifteen years, Capt. Mackenzie has been a personal friend of the editor of The Gazette, who does not hesitate to command him for the nomination and position he seeks, in the strongest possible manner. There is absolutely no question as to Capt. Mackenzie's exceptional fitness, simon-pure republicanism and trustworthiness. CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE Harry C. Smith, Valiant Editor, Who Ever Fights Against Self Segregation. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, is a candidate for the nomination as member of the legislature from Cuyahoga county. Mr. Smith served three terms as member of the Ohio Legislature and put on the statute books of Ohio a Civil Rights law and an Anti-Lynching law. He is the only Colored man of the Ohio Legislature (or any other) ever to have championed and secured the passage of such remedial legislation. Not only was Mr. Smith's record a good one when in the Legislature, he was also a valuable to have in the Legislature of Ohio as any man we know, because he sees clearly that the great fight how for us is against powerful movement on foot to slide us down into a caste position. This is statesmanship, the statesmanship of the hour for Colored Americans, lest they by their own blind indifference or selfishness help bring on a condition whereby it will seem unreasonable to ask that we mingle with our fellow citizens. Boston (Mass.) Guardian. BUGKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS. relative mourn official Cooper Burris, both it called mother able G IT OUGHT TO BE "UNANIMOUS." As to the Nomination and Election of Our President, Mr. Joseph Benson Foraker Hermiston, Oregon, June 8, 1914. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Dear Sir: "The Gazette of June 6, just received. I am glad to see you are fighting for the great Senator. You are right in saying, the Colored people need him at Washington, and the white people need him, too. If ever the Republican party needed a cool, wise, brave leader, it does NOW, and J. B. Foraker is just the man for the place. Of all the weak, inefficient, unpatriotic administrations, this present one "is the limit", to use a slang phrase, and with the Republicans united behind Foraker, much harm might be prevented. Send him to Washington. Don't only elect him, but give him such a big majority that the Union may see a solid Ohio behind him. Let every Afro-American, every veteran of the Civil War, every man who loves the "Stars and Stripes", every man who wants our industries revived, every man who reveres our federal constitution, vote for Foraker. Rally to his support—from Pennsylvania to Indiana; from the Ohio River to old Lake Erie; "Queen City, Forest City, Capital City"—ALL! Make his triumph so great and complete that the whole Union shall be astonished. Yours truly, Mrs. Patricia Robison. AS TO SENATOR FORAKER. Washington, D. C., June 14, 1914. Friend Smith:—I hear you are to be a candidate for the legislature and to be the white leader of Joseph Benson Foraker, is a candidate W. T. FERGUSON. for the U. S. Senate, again. Success to you both. We need you both in the respective places. I'd just like to be a big man in Ohio with 50,000 votes at my command. You and the Senator could have them without the asking. Yours truly, W. T. Ferguson. "PROF." Z. W. MITCHELL, AGAIN! Write to this Friend of the Race, If You Know the Former—Rev. L. M. Greenman is a Member of the N. A. A. C. P. Persons in Newark, Springfield, Youngstown and Cleveland, O. St. Paul, Minn., and other cities, familiar with "Prof." Z. W. Mitchell and his alleged "Loyal Legion of Labor" organizations, should write to Rev. Lyman M. Greenman (white), 2237 Maine St, Quincy, Ill., minister of the Unitarian church, there.

Greenman. Mitchell has spent much time in Canada in the last few years. McVey Put Pelkey "To Sleep" Melbourne, Australia, -Arthur Pelkey, the Chicopee (Mass.) heavy weight, who knocked out and killed Luther McCarty in the ring at Calgary, Alberta, in 1913, was defeated by Sam McVey, the Afro-American, here last week Friday night.

OUR ALABAMA FARMERS OWN Montgomery, Ala. — Afro-American farmers own or control 5,100,000 acres of land in Alabama alone, or 350,000 more acres than they controlled in 1900.

In ten years the number of Afro-American farmers increased 17.3 per cent, and now they own or control one-fourth of all the farm property in Alabama, having an aggregate value of $97,370,000, or 107.5 per cent more farm property than they controlled at the beginning of the ten year period.

LAUNDRY AGENCY SAY O'SHAUGHNESS MADE GOOD IN MEXICO REDFIELD IS A CRITIC OF "STRENUOUS LIFE" ACCEPTS WHAT IS GOOD IN AMERICAN STYLES SAYS RICH CHILDREN NEED MORE LIBERTY Nelson O'Shaughnessy has made good. That's the opinion official Washington maintains with regard to the man who during the peac several months on the held the most trying job in the diplomatic service of the United States. P. A. The difficult character of O'Shaughnessy's job is realized when it is remembered that he represented Uncle Sam during three administrations in Mexico, all bitterly antagonistic to each other; first, the old regime of Porfrio Diaz, then the administration of Madero, and finally the regime of Huerta. O'Shaughnessy was first appointed by Roosevelt in 1904 as secretary to Copenhagen at the age of twenty-seven. He was one of those rich young fellows in New York city who ran to clothes, tennis and money. His family was anxious for him to get into the diplomatic service. The appointment was contrary to the judgment of the Republican senators from New York, but Roosevelt pushed it through anyway. In 1905 he was transferred, to Berlin as third secretary and played tennis with the crown prince. Two years later he went to Vienna, where he stayed four years. He was offered the appointment as Minister to Bucharest, but his friends were displeased with this and held the appointment up. For discipline he was given the second secretaryship to Mexico, a distinct step downward, so it was then thought. "The strenuous life is in most cases the least effective and efficient." Wil Ilam C. Redfield secretary of commerce, told the Brown university students the other day, in an address on "Efectiveness." M. B. "It is an infantile view of industry which measures its results by either the duration or the extent of the effort," he said. "Both the hustler and the apostle of strenuousness have' be come back numbers in their methods. They are to day in the same category with him who 'also ran.' "We deplore lives lost in war, and Enter now Mme. Kai Fu Shah, wife of the Chinese minister to Washington, in a Persian walking suit ruffled and frilled, with a turned-up hat which would do credit to the wax lady in the show window. 女 Mme. Kal Fu Shah takes not the slight tate t trouble to cover her dusky locks and twists them in the conventional way which fashion dictates at present. "I am so much of an American," said she, "that I sense of novelty first impressions so lived in New York The children of the rich need more liberty rather than less luxury, accord- loved to Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, who helps her two boys to run away from their tutor and plays fire engine and Indians with them. A "Poor little things! I'm sorry for them," she says earnestly. "I look out of the windows and see other children walking up and down the drive with a nurse or governess, never having any fun. Why, when my sister and I were little we used to get out with our doll carriages and really play with the other children on the block. We had a nurse, but she wasn't always leading us about by the hand, though we lived right here in New York. "Yes, I really can remember," and Mrs. Hearst laughs infectiously over the fact that she is astonishingly young and girlish looking to be a mother of three sons, one of whom is She (still blushing)—Am I the first kirj) you ever kissed? He—No darling; but you are the last She—Am I really? Oh, Jack, it makes me so happy to think of that. Rough Riding. "There's nothing so hard to ride as a young broncho," said the westerner. "Oh, I don't know," replied the man from back East. "Did you ever try the water wagon?"—Toledo Blade. But this was O'Shaughnessy's great opportunity. A mouth after his arrival in Mexico City things began to warm up. It was just at that time that Blaz fled and the Mexican post became the most delicate in the diplomatic service. During Madero's rule O'Shaughnessy became extremely friendly with him, but when Huerta achieved the presidency, the American charge quickly cultivated a personal relationship with him. O'Shaughnessy's view seemed to be that while 30,000 or 40,000 Americans lived in Mexico, most of them directly extending American trade with this country, they always should have in him a friend at court. In other words, he was forever trying to establish an influence with the Mexican government whatever that was. After the removal of Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador last July, no one was appointed to succeed him, and O'Shaughnessy became charge d'affaires. It is believed he made no representations as to the policy of recognizing the Huerta government. Certainly if he did they were never known outside the state department and cabinet. But all during this trying period his personal relations with Huerta remained friendly, though, of course, political relations frequently came near the breaking point. John Lind was sent to Mexico as the president's personal representative, but except for ten days in the capital he remained at Vera Cruz, 380 miles away, and negotiations with Huerta were carried on directly through O'Shaughnessy. There were dozens of times when an open break meaning war with the explosive alcoholic old Indian dictator might have been precipitated, but O'Shaughnessy realized this was what the home government did not then want and staved it off. have advocates of peace who are fluent in speech regarding the horrors of strife," he continued. "Yet, while one must sympathize with those who have lost dear ones in battle, are we as eloquent and active as respects the many that are slain in industry? We mourn the dead of Vera Cruz, but in the first three months of this year there were slain several times that number in the industries of Massachusetts without great public grief, while the grisly list of dead from automobiles makes our occupation of Vera Cruz look relatively like a pleasure excursion. "I doubt if either state or nation is as yet sufficiently effective in thought on these matters to provide at once, let us say, as many millions for public health as we would provide for a railway in Alaska, or for additions to our navy. I approve both the railway and naval additions, but it seems to me effective thinking would place at least as great weight upon the value of our men and women." where both my father and my husband were connected with the consular service, but we were in Peking during the revolution which overthrew the ancient empire and from my windows I could hear the cannon booming over the capital. I could even see the smoke and hear the awful din which accompanies war. "I must confess that I have been always curious about the mysteries of the American woman's toilet, the confusing number of garments, the endless accessories. In New York, of course, I wore our national dress, and I must admit that I still cling to my old way whenever I am desirous of being really comfortable. "You see, we have learned the philosophy of being always at our ease and our soft, flowing robes make for it more than the curious fashions which are now in vogue. Even ceremonial dressing with us is a brief labor compared with the ordinary dressing in the western garb." nearly nine. "No, no one ever thinks that they are mine," she admits, "but you see my eyes and hair are dark and they are all fair. They think of me more as a sister than a mother, anyway, I'm afraid. But I don't mind climbing fire ladders and being captured by Indians if it makes them happy. "I didn't know how to play boys' games at first, but William, the second boy, was very delicate for a time and had to have a trained nurse, George, the oldest one, had an English governess, and the first thing I knew both children were afraid to speak aloud. "I was perfectly desperate, so I packed off all the servants at once and we all learned to play. Mr. Hearst had the hardest time, because he had had no brothers and had never really learned himself. But he studied up parlor magic and I believe the children consider him quite entertaining now. And Momme, as they call me, is almost as good as a real playmate." Worth Keeping. Anyhow.

BASEBALL Bobby Schang of the St. Joseph team is a brother of Wally Schang, of world's series fame, and if the expectations of Jack Holland, local base ball magnate, are carried into realization Bob will be a greater catcher even than his brother. WID CONROY NOW A MANAGER SPLENDID WORN Parisiennes are men Vie Withe Magnific COLORED HAIR Queen Mary's O Sam Krepps, second baseman of the Newport News team, 2nd one of the Virginia State league's star players, broke his left leg above the ankle at Norfolk, while sliding into a base. He will be out of the game for the rest of the season. --- Clyde Goodwin, brilliant young shortstop of the Kansas City Feds, stole third with the bases full at Kansas City the other day. He should be tolde they don't do that in real "major" leagues any more. The veteran shortstop, Joe O'Rourke, formerly manager of the Sacramento club, of the Pacific Coast league, has been purchased by the Wichita club from the Louisville club of the American association. Chief of umpires, Bill Brennan, has been asked by a prominent base ball man of Havana, Cuba, to take the Federal league to the island after the regular season for an extensive exhibition tour. --- Bill Carrigan declares that the young shortstop, Everett Scott, will prove one of the real finds of the present season. "He is a great fielder, a fine batter and a speed marvel," says Manager Bill. R. E. Lee, the star hitter of the Army base ball team, has been signed by the Chattanooga club. Lee failed in mathematics at West Point in the last quarter and was ineligible to play college ball. If Herbert Pennock, Connie Mack's young heaver, has anything, he should show it. Connie Mack and every one of his instructors has taken a hand in teaching the youngster how to pitch. George Burns, the Tigers' first sacker, is a Philadelphia man, and his friends there are rubbing it into Connie Mack that he allowed so valuable a prospect to get away from him. Jack Henricks, manager of the Indianapolis team, is in the market for five ball players. One pitcher, two infielders and two outfielders are wanted to strengthen the team. Pitcher Bill Steen seems fated to have trouble with his wrist. He broke it in May, 1913; injured it again at New Orleans in March; and broke it once more in April last. The Feds are considering entering Philadelphia next year. Several wealthy Quakers are after a franchise, and it is believed another team would pay well there. Rip Hagerman, the tall, slatlike heaver of the Naps, has made himself quite solid with Manager Joe Birmingham because of his winning ways. It has been ten years since the Chicago Cubs finished lower than third place, and in eight of those ten years they finished no worse than second. Answering the pleadings of the Atlanta club. Providence has waived its claim on Infielder Harry Holland and he is again in the Cracker lineup. Jack Leary, the new first baseman of the St. Louis Browns, is said to be the best first-sacker that the Browns have had in many a year. Hughie Jennings thinks much of his team this year, for he claims that the 1914 outfit is a stronger one than he had in 1907, 1908 or in 1909. Marty Kavanaugh, the Harrison youth, and former member of the Newark team, is proving a strong infielder for the Detroit club. The talk that Snodgrass will succeed Stock at third for the Glants does not sound reasonable, for Stock is playing too good ball. Exertion of playing ball all winter has, told on Sam Crawford, who, to save himself from fatigue, now hits nothing but home runs. Manager Tinker of the Chicago Federa claims that in Zwilling, Beck and Wickland he has one of the strongest outfields in baseball. Says Otto Knabe: "I'll play the Philies a seven-game series and win five any time they want to accept the challenge." The Kansas City Packers have a shortstop named Tappan, and he has been tappan 'em when hits were needed. How can Charley Herzog's team be expected to bat well now that the Cincinnati base hit has been done away with? The honor system Branch Rickey installed in the camp of the Browns seems to be a much better system than some of the old managers are using. Frank Snyder, Cardinal backstop, is the most improved catcher in St. Louis. He has a perfect wing and can also hit. Milton Stock of the Giants is said to have the heaviest pair of legs seen in the majors since the days of Charley Hickman 中 William F. Conroy, who was well known as a major league player a few seasons ago, is now the manager of the Elmira team in the New York State league. Wid, as he is known to the fans, has never had any previous experience as a diamond pilot and his success or failure with the Elmira bunch this year will be watched with interest. Conroy was an infielder with the New York Americans for several seasons and was also with the Washington team. Lately he had been playing with the Rochester club in the International league. Despite the fact that the St. Louis Feds got away to a fine start and led the league by a good margin, St. Louis writers are enthusing over the Brookfeds. They say Bradley's team will be "in the hunt" all the way, with a glorious chance to annex the pennant. If anyone wants to get Manager George Stallings angry he simply has to refer to him as "a good loser." "Lefty" Waltrous, Yale's sensational pitcher, has been lost to the nine through a scholarship technicality. Manager Jack Dunn, of the Baltimore International league team, thinks he has a wonder in Pitcher Ruth. Branch Rickey says that he will be perfectly satisfied to have his team finish in fourth place this year. Murray, the new outfielder with the Braves, throws left-handed, but is a natural right-handed batsman. Eddie Murphy, the right fielder of the Mackmen, is doing the heavy hitting for the world's champions. There are nearly fifty double-headers stored up in the big leagues this season. SPORTING WORLD It is almost sure that Elmer Q. Oliphant, Purdue university's most famous athlete and football star, will remain in the athletic limelight for a few more seasons, as he has decided to take the examinations for entrance to the United States Naval academy. A new high jumping star looms up on the Pacific coast. He is Edward Beeson of the San Francisco Olympic club. Beeson is credited with clearing the bar at 6 feet 7% inches, one inch higher than the previous mark. Jimmy Smith of Brooklyn retained the national all round bowling title at the close of the eighth annual meeting of the National Bowling association. Smith rolled an aggregate of 1,917 for the nine games. Pennsylvania and Cornell have each won four times the cup emblematic of the intercollegiate track championship. The trophy becomes the permanent possession of the college winning it five times. The Army and Navy people are still squabbling over the score of the annual football clash. Now someone has suggested that games be alternated between Washington and New York. In the recent University of Pennsylvania relay race held in Philadelphia, 14 championships were captured by athletes from beyond the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic coast. Harvard university still has an unbeaten one mile relay team for the college year of 1913-1914, they having won at the recent University of Pennsylvania relay races. Efforts are being made by certain lawn tennis enthusiasts in England to have Canada and Australia play their Davis cup preliminary in England this summer.

SPLENDID GOWNS WORN AT OPERA Parisiennes and American Women Vie With Each Other in Magnificent Dress. COLORED HAIR LOSES CHARM Queen Mary's Outspoken Dislike of Eccentric Fashion Has Practically Killed It—Two of the Recent Collures That Are Simple But Excellent. PARIS.—There can be no doubt about the success of the "Boston and Covent Garden Company" in Paris. Just at first people were inclined to say that the beautiful Theatre des Champs Elysees was too large, that it was "unlucky." But Mr. Henry Russell went ahead gaily. He had full belief in his own venture and that belief has proved well founded. Tout Paris is talking of the "Poston Season." Every one who is any one is making a point of attending all the important "first nights." The opening night of the season was immensely brilliant. The theater looked really lovely. I have more than once spoken in detail of the new Theatre des Champs Elysees, in connection with the Russian ballet season. Unfortunately Mr. Astrauc has lost money over his plucky endeavor to give Paris one of the most artistic and beautiful theaters in the world. When the curtain went up for the first time on Montemozzil's charming opera, "L'Amore Det Tre Re" the most notable members of the American colony, as well as numbers of Parisian society women, were present in the stalls and famous "corbeille." The opera itself was a huge success. The plot was interesting and the music fresh and attractive. As to the singing—it was nearly perfect. Beautiful Gowns Worn. Some of the gowns worn by Parisiennes and Americans In the boxes and stalls were rarely lovely. White satin and white lace dresses were to be seen on every side, for it is a well-known fact that the peculiar color of the brocade in which the theater is upholstered shows off white costumes to perfection. This color is a pure shade of "lacque de garance" and it makes a remarkably effective background for white or pale tinted toilettes. On the other hand it is distinctly trying when juxtaposed with any of the new japonica-pink shades. One of the most charming gowns in the house that night was that worn by the Principessa di Stigliano-Colonna. This gown was composed of ivory white Mechilin lace, mounted over ivory satin. The skirt was flounced from waist to hem and the corsage was a discroet mixture of soft lace, pale gold embroidery and lemon-yellow chiffon. At the waist a soft globe de Dijon rose, set in dark leaves, gave a rich note of color. In her hair, which was dressed high, the principessa wore a high diamond algrete, and right at the back, very low down, a flat diamond comb. In Sea Green Satin. Another lovely gown seen in the "corbelle" was worn by the Comtesse de Ga Tilliffet. The material was sea green satin and there were draperies in oyster white chiffon embroidered with pale green paillettes and silver beads. The dress had a narrow pointed train which was caught up in walking, by a silver ring. The corsage was crossed over the bust and it was sleeveless, the arms being bare right up to the shoulders. When the comtesse entered the theater, she was wearing a long, loose cape made of leaf-green mirror velvet; this cape had an immense collar in pure white fox and a lining of silver tissue. Some fine jewels were worn that night. Mrs. Myron T. Herrick—who occupied a prominent box—wore two priceless strings of pearls. Her gown was in pale silver-gray satin, with draperies of paleest gray chiffon embroidered in silver and, on the corsage, some lovely old lace. Few Eccentric Head-Dresses. The 'English ambassadress also wore gray but in a darker color, and in her case the Quaker shade was thrown into the background by a long mantle of embroidered chiffon in a splendid shade of "voilet de Monsieur." I noticed that very few pink or blue head-dresses were to be seen at the Theatre des Champs Elysees. It really seems as though the visit of the queen of England had dealt death blow to this eccentric, yet tactive, fashion. The queen has expressed herself very clearly in London on the subject of "colored" hair and will not permit it to be worn at any of the court functions. In this way the idea has been formed that hair of this order is not quite in the best taste. As a matter of fact there are one or two shades of metallic-pink hair which are distinctly artistic and becoming. Under strong electric light this hair looks almost natural. It gives the impression of red hair which has become slightly faded. I noticed recently a really superb evening wrap worn by Princesse Guy de Faucingy-Lucinge at the Theatre des Champs Elysees. This mantle How Snakes Move Along To watch a snake or a serpent gliding smoothly and silently along the ground is to see one of the most marvelous things in natural history. Indeed, the wisest man who ever lived confessed that the motion of a snake was one of the things that he could not understand. As a matter of fact, a snake walks on the ends of its ribs—a very curious use for ribs to be p- to. These ribs are very numerous, there being one for each part of the backbone. Each rib is also fixed was composed of charmeuse in two colors; sapphire blue and shell-pink. The form was "vague" and the mantle was very ample. Over the shoulders there was an exquisite cape made of silver lace and bordered with chinchilla. Princess Guy wore this mantle over a Greek gown composed of palest shell-pink crepe. The folds of this dress were purely classic and the "Diana" corsage was confined by silver ribbons. Chinchilla is running ermine very close this season as a "summer fur." The Parisiennes have always used ermine in lavish quantities as a trimming for gowns and mantles of lace and chiffon. They have even gone so far as to trim indian muslin frocks with ermine at mid-summer. Now, however, chinchilla is almost as popular as the soft, white fur and in connection with dull silver lace and embroidery. It is amodally effective. The full lace head shows a charming colfure adopted by Mile. Yurbe at a recent reception given at the Spanish embassy. Mile. Yurbe is one of the loveliest girls in Parisian society, and she has the reputation of being a perfect dreser. The colfure in question was quite simple, and because of that very attractive. The hair was slightly waved and parted in the center, a loose lock being permitted to fall over the forehead. The hair was then drawn back and dressed rather high at the top of the head. There was no comb or ornament of any kind, simply perfectly dressed hair. "Powder and Patches." The sketch shows an ideal "powder and patches" head-dress. The hair was silver gray at the back and snow-white in front. It was arranged in loose coils and curls all over the head, and a bank of black velvet ribbon was then passed around the hair. In a soft bow at the left side. This band was studded with brilliants. It has been said that powdered hair is going out of fashion, but I do not think that this is the case. At the opera and at smart dinners and re A BLACK TURNING DAY AND LANDING FORMS AN CUPURE FOR PONDERS MALL. eceptions "powder and patches" seem more in favor than ever, and with women of fine taste. It is undoubtedly true that powdered hair makes certain women look older than need be, but on the other hand it is also true that the same hair makes some women of "uncertain gze" look surprisingly youthful. Everything depends on the type and on the complexion. I have more than once warned my readers against adopting snow-white hair all over. This—except on a very young woman—certainly gives an elderly appearance. The most effective and becoming style is the silvery-gray hair, tinged with dark streaks at the back and dead white locks in front. Great care must be taken to powder the sides of the face as well as the hair so that skin and hair may seem to melt in each other.—Idalia de Villiers, in the Boston Globe. Veiling Novelties. Vellings with lady bugs, beetles, lizards or serpents, in one-figure effects, are finding a ready sale. The idea was obtained from the latest fad in Paris, that of painting a reptile or insect on the cheek instead of pasting on a beauty spot. Another novelty which should find favor with the fair "rooter" is a vell with a bat and ball design. The tilt to the new hats has been found to obscure the vision to some extent, although vellings are left well cleared of designs in front of the eyes. An innovation that has been well received is a lace vellings made so that any length desired may be purchased, says the New York Sun. Formerly only yard and a half lengths could be obtained. This necessitated bunching the vellls on the top of the hats, which are small, and was an objectionable feature to many women who might buy these goods. Tango vellls in the usual vivid shades are going well, and the next thing manufacturers will take up, it is said, will probably be the slogan, "Buy a veil to match your colored wig." Initials on Towels Nowadays the prospective bride embroider her personal initials on the towels devoted to her own use in colors to match her room. For each bedroom the towels are worked in a different color to correspond with the furnishings, and very often the sets include bath mats and wash cloths to correspond. to one of the large belly scales. By the muscles acting on the ribs, these scales are moved forward one after the other, their edges catching the ground, and the result is a rapid gliding motion. We notice that the body always moves from side to side in a wriggling or writuring manner, never up and down, as is sometimes shown in pictures.

ON THE FUNNY SIDE Officer Threatens to Return Baseball Pass Unless Charlie Comiskey Drives His Car Slower. Charles Comiskey, who runs the White Sox ball club in Chicago, is widely acquainted in that big town and in his day has been lavish with passes to his ball park. Last year he gave a season pass to a young man he had helped to an appointment on the Chicago police force. Soon after this Comiskey was pushing his automobile a bit beyond the speed limit up Michigan boulevard and was stopped by a policeman. The policeman opened the door of the car and saw Comiskey sitting inside. "Hello, Bill!" said Comiskey. "How are you getting along since I got you your job on the force?" The policeman coughed and stuttered. Finally he said: "Look here, Charlie; you'll have to go slower with this car of yours or I'll have to give back my pass!"—Saturday Evening Post. The Sunday school teacher was making a review of the lessons. "Who was the wisest man, James?" "Solomon." "That's right. Now, Frank, who was the strongest man?" "Jonah."

A lariat tightly binding his legs, the crazy steer was at last brought to earth by the ranchman. "Humph!" it grunted, endeavoring unsuccessfully to rise. "Now I know where the idea for the modern skirt came from." Indeed, the steer's efforts to walk were as funny as those of some women.—Puck. Her Appearance Explained. "How pale and worried your mother looks. Is she sick?" "No, ma'am, but pa's got the grp." "And is she afraid that he won't get well?" "Oh, no, but whenever pa's sick, he worries her so that she always looks as though she had what was alling him." Her Suspicion Mrs. Styles—John, I wish you would take me to the opera tonight.
