FRANCE CAPTURES STEAMER Russian Men-of-War Take Number of German Vessels in the North Sea —Kaiser's Armies Are Moving Forward East and West in Enemies Countries. London, Eng.—The sinking of the Hamburg-American liner Koeniginel Luise by the British cruiser Amphion, the report of which has been declared official by the government, and England's entry into the European war were marked by a decisiveness which the war experts of the world now expect to be duplicated daily or hourly for months to come. The warring nations are now all practically out of direct communication with the rest of the world owing to the cutting of ocean cables, telegraph wires and telephones. The Koeniginel Luise, of 2,000 tons register, the first vessel of the war to fall a victim to Great Britain's vaunted mastery of the sea, had been converted for war use and was to be used for the planting of mines. The cruiser Amphion fun upon her as she was starting on her mine planting mission, and when she did not heed shots over her bows to come to a halt and surrender the Britischer opened fire in deadly earnest, sending her to the bottom. She carried a crew of 30 men. Other British men-of-war have been active since the minute the home government cast down its gauntlet to Germany. The German bark Perkeo, which left New York July 8 for Hamburg, was seized by a British warship. She flew the German flag for the first time less than a month ago, having then been taken over by new owners. She was formerly under the British flag. A number of other German steamers anchored at Hull were taken over by the British authorities as prizes. The crews, made up mostly of naval reservists, were made prisoners of war. Confirmation has been received of the report that a French warship has captured the German steamer Porto off Guernsey, Channel islands. The Porto, which belongs to the Oldenburg Portuguese Steamship Co., is a vessel of 1,800 tons and piles between Hamburg and Portuguese ports. Russian warships have captured a number of German vessels in the Black sea. Meager reports from France, Belgium, Holland and Russia showed that Germany's armies were steadily moving forward east and west, and that her advanced posts were in contact with the opposing Russian and French armies. 28 Are Killed in Crash. Joplin, Mo—Thirty-eight persons were killed and twenty-five injured, six of them fatally, when two passenger trains on the Kansas City Southern railway met in a head-on collision 10 miles south of here. According to reports received here both the motor car and the train were running at a high rate of speed when they met at a small siding known as Tiptons Ford. With the collision came the explosion of the gasoline reservoir of the motor car, setting both the motor car and the train afire. THE GAZETTE London, England.-Great Britain declared war upon Germany Tuesday night. England based its move on Germany's unsatisfactory answer to the demand that the neutrality of Belgium be respected. The British government Monday night demanded that Germany make formal statement of its intentions toward Belgium and Holland, the neutrality of which has been guaranteed by the powers of Europe for 84 years. This Germany failed to do. The British foreign office has issued the following statement: "Owing to the summary rejection by the German government of the request made by his Britannic majesty's government that the neutrality of Belgium should be respected, his majesty's ambassador at Berlin has received his passports, and his majesty's government has declared to the German government that a state of war exists between Great Britain and Germany from 11 o'clock p. m., Aug. 4." Parliament has voted a war credit of $525,000,000 for emergency purposes. Commander-in-chief of the German army, who is directing the movements in the field. Shelia Passes New西兰 Bill. Washington, D. C.—By a vote of 53, Washington, D. C.—By a vote of New西兰 federal trade commission bill, the first of President Wilson's antitrust measures. Twelve Republicans voted with a majority of the Democrats for the passage of the amended bill. They were Brady, Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Fall, Gronna, Jones, Kenyon, Norris, Perkins and Sterling. Two Democrats, Senators Thomas and West, voted against the bill.

Every Afro-American in the Great State of Ohio Should Vote for Him on Next Tuesday—It is a Duty We All Owe the Champion of "The Black Battalion—Never Forget "Brownsville." Hermiston, Oregon, July 27th, 1914. the morning of August 12th: Hermison, Oregon, July 27th, 1914. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Dear Sir: "The issue of The Gazette dated July 22nd just just released, all the three things you say of me. I appreciate your good opinion very high, and your loyalty to 'Foraker, the Magnificent,' in the dark days as well as the bright, has won a very warm place in my regard. Thank God, the Union will soon know that Ohio has awakened and once again commissioned her most brilliant son to speak for her. It is only fitting that YOU, who stood firm in 1908, should share in his return to leadership. I envoy you the privilege of voting for him. Get me to more urge every man who knows this, to be sure and vote on August 11th. It is not enough to nominate Joseph Benson Foraker. He should be nominated by an enormous majority. It should be said on HON. CHARLES A. REID. How He Showed Real Friendship For the Race—A Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Secretary of State. Charles A. Reid, republican leader in the Ohio House of Representatives, is a candidate for nomination to the office of Secretary of State. He is in the prime of life, and for twenty years has been an active member of the legal profession, practicing in the state and U. S. courts. He was for six years, prosecuting attorney of Fayette County, where he has lived all his life, and has for four years been a member of the General Assembly. The duties of the office of Secretary of State demand legal ability, and judicial interpretation, and many of his decisions are not even reviewable by the Supreme Court. Select a candidate for this office whose lifework fits him for its duties. He is strong and forceful in his duties, and many severe fights against the radiocentric majority in the legislature. He is patriotic in advocating the rights of the humblest citizen, black or white. He made a strong fight on the floor of the House early last years, against the infamous Repart Bill, which sought to bastardize innocent and helpless Colored children, and make criminals out of respected Colored citizens; and openly "dubbed" the measure as, "The Democratic Matrimonial Jim Crow Car." His familiarity with the mistreatment of his force as a fighter, will help win if he is honored with a place on the state ticket.—Adv. CHARLES B. GALSREATH, Of Columbia County—A Republican Candidate for Secretary of State— A True and Tried Friend of the Race. CHARLES B. GALBREATH was born in Columbia county in 1858. He is of Quaker descent. His ancestors came from North Carolina to Ohio in 1854 and were hostile to slavery had involved them in controversies with the task-masters of that slave-holding state. His grandfather the morning of August 12th: "J. B. FORAKER NOMINATED!" "Mr. Cole and Mr. Harding also ran but were shut out, the first quarter." "Mr. Cole and Mr. Harding also ran, but were shut out the first quarter." I want to endorse your suggestion that some one call the attention of Vardaman, Tilman and their kind to the case of H. Procton Powe. If they are so "superior to the black man" and he is so "childlike", why don't they set him a better example, and why him for crime (i.e., robbery) with which also are guilty? It looks to me like they might take to heast our Divine Lord's words: "Thou too! First pluck out the beam from thine eye and then shalt see clearly to pluck the mote from thy brother's eye". Hoping you and the Senator may both be nominated by very large majorities, I remain yours sincerely, Mrs. Patricia Robinson. was active in aiding slaves to escape from their masters through the "un- CHAS. B. GALBREATH. derground railroad" in the years before the Civil War. After earning his COLLOPED SHORES MIDMONT ASSASSINES THE SQUARE DEAL DOOR OF HORN [Name] way through high school and college, he received the degree of A. M. from Mount Union College. He has been teacher and superintendent of schools, editor of a village paper, county school-examiner and college professor. From 1856 to 1911 he was State Librarian of Ohio, and under his administration the traveling library department of library organization and legislative reference were established. He was secretary of the recent Constitutional Convention and editor of the two large volumes of Proceedings and Debates. He has contributed to magazines, newspapers, and historical publications. Mr. Galbread has long been a student of constitutional questions and is thoroughly familiar with the history and qualifications especially of it. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS A. E. Culbert was born a Buckeye and has ever since retained that distinction. He early fulfilled that indispensable requirement of the successful statesman—that of living on a farm and later he taught school. He worked his way through school and college, was admitted to the bar; has been city solicitor; member of the board of education; and commander of the Maccabees. It was in this latter capacity that he became known personally to a greater number of Ohioans than perhaps any other Fremonter. There are no less than twenty-five or thirty thousand in the state who are personally acquainted with Mr. Culbert. This is one reason why Mr. Culbert has about sixty thousand signers to his petitions instead of the six thousand that are required. All this time Culbert has been busy acquiring an exceedingly large law practice and a law firm. This has kept him from being particularly active in politics up to now. But now he is making up for lost time. Fremont, regardless of political lines, is for Culbert; the legal profession in all parts of the state favors for the office a man of Mr. Culbert's attainments in the law; his host of personal friends throughout the state has been a great help; too not too much to say that his chances for preferment at the hands of the voters look as bright and rosy as anything in politics can possibly look at this stage of the game—Adv. believed, for a faithful and efficient discharge of the duties of Secretary of State. His Republicanism is of the progressive kind and was recognized as such before the third party was thought of. If nominated, he will, by attracting the support of a reunitied party and independent Democrats, prove a source of strength to the ticket. Over Ohio, a colored man were employed in the State Library, while Mr. Galbreath was at the head of this department, and his attitude toward the race has been such as to win him our sincere friendship.—Adv. If you have a white friend, a wife, tell him now is the time for him to show his friendship for you and the race, by voting for Senator Foraker, on Tuesday next. IN UNION THERE IS 55 MONTHS BELGIANS REPULSE GERMAN SOLDIERS Drive Back Force of 80,000 When Latter Makes an Attack on Liege. PRUSSIAN TROOPS DEFEATED French Troops Are Reported to Have Entered Hainaut, a Frontier Province of Belgium, and to Have Joined King Albert's Army —Other War News. Paris, France.—Official advices say that Germany declared war against Belgium Aug. 4, and that German forces moved on Belgium from the territory between Aix-la-Chapelle and Rheydt. There has been fighting around Liege and Vise. The latter town has been burned. German Attack Repulsed. Brussels, via London.—The Germans, completely repulsed, have been unable to renew their attack on Liege. The Belgian war office has just announced that fierce fighting had occurred in the environs of Liege and that so far as the Belgians were concerned the situation was excellent. "The Germans," the announcement says, "were driven back by a heroic attack made by a Belgian mixed brigade which already had earned for itself the highest honors. No German who passed the fort survived." All day the kaiser's forces, 80,000 strong, assailed the line of forts which guards Liege to the east. Nightfall they were forced to retire, leaving thousands of dead and wounded on the field. Every effort to cut their way through the Belgian line of defense was futile. Two regiments of German Uhlans have been destroyed by the Belgian army, according to an official announcement out by the French war office in Paris. Prussian Cavalry Defeated. Le Peuple asserts that in the fighting between Germans and Belgians near Vise a platoon of Prussian cavalry was almost annihilated by the enfilading fire of the Belgians from a building on the bank of the Ricer. The Prussians, in revenge, the newspaper says, fired on civilians. At Flemalle, near Aargenteu, a Belgian force surprised a body of Prussians and killed 70 out of 10 officers and 80 men. The Belgian losses were 2 officers killed and 10 men wounded. The Germans entered the province of Hainaut, a frontier province of Belgium, and to have joined the Belgian army. Germans Amazed by Belgians Germans Amazed by Belgians. German troops crossed the Belgian frontier at three points—at Dalheim, seven miles north of Liege, and at Francorchamps and Stavelot, both about 25 miles to the southeast of Liege. The prompt destruction of bridges by the Belgian troops checked the advantage of the Germans. Belgian reconnoitering parties located three German corps, the Tenth army corps at Eysden, the Seventh army corps, 40,000 strong, at Verviers, and the Sixth army corps in another locality not named. The Tenth German army corps is operating along the northern line, and, finding unexpected resistance, moved further northward, invading Dutch territory at Tillburg and crossing the Meuse at Eysden. A German officer, taken prisoner by the Belgians, said he was amazed at the resistance offered to the German advance. Germans Cross French Border. Paris, France, via London.—The French minister of war has just issued a communication stating that German cavalry and infantry were crossing the French frontier everywhere in reconnoitering parties. He adds: "A squadron of German dragoons bore down on Villers-La-Montagne, in the department of Meurthe-埃-Moselle, but was repulsed by French riflemen. A regiment of German cavalry advanced as far as Montfortaine in the same department, but fell back before a body of French infantry. The French mobilization is proceeding with the greatest order. Most of the reservists already have joined. An excellent spirit prevails in Alsace." Russians Enter Germany. A dispatch from Warsaw says Russian frontier patrols, driving the enemy before them, crossed the frontier at Lyk and Blala and penetrated several miles into German territory. The patrols captured and burned the German railway stations at Borglenn and Blala and destroyed the railway at these points, thus cutting the line of railway communication from Lyk to Hannesburg. The Germans are falling back all along the frontier, burning village after village in their retreat. Grades Poker Playera. Altoona, Pa.—That married men should be home with their families at 2 o'clock in the morning, while bachelors have considerably more liberty, and a man expecting a visit from the stork need all his money were the conclusions arrived at by Mayor S. H. Walker when four men caught in a poker game were arraigned in his police court. The married man was fined $20.80, the single man $15.80, while the father expecting a visit from the stork was let off with a fine of $10.80. The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year.....$1.50.

Do not allow anyone or anything to keep you from voting on Tuesday next. Let us show Senator Foraker that ours is not a race of ingrates, by giving him every one of our votes, on Tuesday next. As far as we are concerned there is only one candidate for U. S. Senator, to be voted for on Tuesday next, and that is Joseph Benson Foraker. Early last year, there was hardly a member of the race in this city that did not fully realize the need of a member of the Ohio Legislature. Have we forgotten so soon? Near the end of the list of Republican candidates for State Representative you will find the name of Harry C. Smith. Put a cross in front of it, if you will and help nominate him. There is not a member of the race outside of this state but does not envy us the glorious privilege we will exercise, on Tuesday next, when we cast our votes for Joseph Benson Foraker. Thousands of Afro-Americans throughout the country, outside of Ohio, are looking to this state and crying aloud for our men, "Buckeyes," to do their clear duty on Tuesday next. Why is it that our men and women of Cleveland are apparently unconcerned as to the nomination of a member of the race, on August 11, as a candidate for the Legislature? Wake up and get active, now!—before it is too late. It is not going to be an easy thing to get what we really want and need, this time. When any man sacrifices a seat in the U. S. Senate and the first place in public life, next to the presidency of this country, because of his effort to get justice for membebs of our race, it is more than our duty to do everything in our power to return him to that seat, and place in public life. Vote on Tuesday next! That Rev. R. C. Fox who at E. Liverpool, Tuesday, recommended separate schools for our children in the North, ought to be shipped back down South by his fellow-townmen of Pittsburg. We commend him to the tender (?) mercies of our esteemed contemporary, the Pittsburg Courier, who can and will teach him a much-needed lesson. Candidates who have advertised in The Gazette, want your support, and we ask you to give them the preference over others. Our columns were opened to all. Therefore those who have not accepted the invitation, cannot, with reason, object to our asking special consideration for those who care enough for your votes to ask for them in The Gazette. The Lord and our people know how greatly the race needs the Senator in the U. S. Senate, these days of Tillmanism, Vardamanism and Wilsonism. There is only one way to get him back there and that is to nominate him on Tuesday next. And he cannot be nominated unless we vote solidly for him. There must not be any stay-at-homes or stay-at-work Afro-American voters, on Tuesday next. We here and now call upon the women of the race in Ohio, to see to it that the men all vote, on Tuesday next. They are a power when they are active. "They have a duty to perform, too." There is much, very much indeed, that they can do to help reflect Senator Foraker to the United States Senate. And we know they will do it. Do not let the men rest or eat, next Tuesday, until they have cast their votes for the Senator. On Wednesday of next week, when it is announced that the Senator is triumphantly renominated, prayers will ascend to the Almighty from the lips of ten million Afro-Americans. All over this country and even in the islands of the sea (Hawaii and the Phillippines) where hundreds of our soldier boys are stationed, will the halluijahs be suxg. It will be necessary for us to work hard and vote, on Tuesday next, if we would have this great victory and happiness. PASSING OF THE PROGRESSIVES. The final registration in California shows: Republicans, 388,895; Demor- rats, 206,146; Progressives, 184,675. In the primaries in North Dakota the Progressives did not poll a sufficient vote to entitle them to a column on the ticket. The result in Minnesota has not been officially announced, but it seems probable that in that State, also, the Progressives will not hold their column on the ticket. In Florida, under the primary law passed by the last Legislature, registration was made compulsory and those (white) who registered were required to state their party affiliations. The Republicans registered 13,014 and the Progressives 556. In 1912 President Taft received 4,279 votes and Mr. Roosevelt 4,535 votes. FORAKER, COLE AND HARDING. when Senator Foraker was fighting the battle, for "The Black Battallion" and the race, that cost him his seat in the U. S. Senate, his opponents, our former colleagues in tl. Ohio Legislature, the Hon. Ralph D. Cole, was in Congress, and the Hon. Warren G. Harding, was editing the Marlor Star. Did either, or both of them, ever do or say anything in behalf of "The Black Battallion," or any of our people in Ohio or anywhere else, at that time or any other, that was heard above a whisper in this state or out of it? We have been here, "on the firing line" for the race, for the past thirty-one years, every week, and want to know because we do not even remember ever hearing the whisper. It would be ingratitude, amounting almost to a crime, for a member of the race in this state to fail to vote at the primaries on August 11, and for Senator Foraker. As far as we are concerned there is only one candidate for the nomination for U. S. Senator in Ohio, these days. Let us be MEN—work hard from now until the primaries for the Senator, and then walk to the polls on August 11 and do our DUTY! Be as loyal to him as he has always been to us; especially when fighting that great and long-drawn-out battle for our "soldier-boys in blue." Let our ministers and newspapers throughout the state "tell the story" to our people daily, including Sunday, from now until August 11. We owe it to him brethren of the pulpit and the press. REPRESENTATION IN THE LEGISLATURE. There is an opportunity for our people of Cleveland to have a member of the next Legislature. It will come on August 11; but they have certainly got to work hard from now until that time if they would take advantage of the opportunity. Last year we, all, felt the need, and sorely too, of such representation — when that vicious anti-intermarriage bill of Reppart's, was pending and about to pass. It would have made our girls the helpless victims of any white scoundrel that could, by any means, take advantage of them, and there would have been no redress in the courts for us, either, if the miserable bill had become a law. Don't you think that you had better wake up, brother, and take an exceptional interest in the coming primaries, and work hard for the representation we refer to? Better begin now! This is a matter of sufficient importance for our local clergy to bring to the attention of their various congregations, immediately. Sound the note of warning and do not longer let our people "sleep on their rights." THE CIVIC LEAGUE'S REPORT. An amusing feature of the Civic League's report Monday, on the editor of The Gazette and his candidacy for State Representative, is the comment to the effect that, after three terms, exceptionally successful ones, too (so characterized generally), he "would probably make a satisfactory Representative." Now, isn't that rich? "Probably" is good; positively amusing! And "satisfactory!" Satisfactory to whom, pray? We have had about all the assurance—in the last fifteen years—one could possibly have that we served the people of this county, satisfactorily, for six years—in the Legislature. There was and is no probability about it. Then what has occurred in the interim—since 1900—1901, when we served our last of three terms in the State Assembly, to cause the "Civic League's executive board," or secretary, Mr. Mayo Fesler, to doubt or question, even ever so slightly, our ability to again "make a satisfactory Representative," if the people are again to be the judges? We are older, by nearly fifteen years, and, at least, that much more experienced in public affairs, etc., all built upon a foundation of six year's experience as an "Ohio legislator from the county of Cuvahoka." Yes, there are a number of very good indications that we will be nominated, on Tuesday next; reelected in November, and again—for the fourth time—make an exceptionally "satisfactory Representative." ALBERT STRAUS. Republican Candidate for State Senator—Primaries, Tuesday, August 11, 1914. Our old friend and neighbor, Albert Straus, is a candidate for State Senator, and is asking all who know him to help for the nomination, next Tuesday. Mr. Straus was reared among us and lived for many years at the corner of Central Ave., and E. 30th St. Don't forget him, as you all know his friendship for our people. This is what the Civic League says about him: ALBERT STRAUSS (Rep.)—Attorney; resides 1840 E. 79th street; age fifty; public school education; served in city council 1828-85. He bears a good reputation for honesty and a kind demeanor; he would make a satisfactory lawyer. —Adv. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1914.

It is the only school for our youth which has a military department equipped by the national government and commanded by a detailed United States army officer. It is located at Wilberforce, near here. It is, too, a complete university, offering instruction in military, theology, classics, science, music, business. There is a preparatory school in the buildings on campus of 100 acres. Wilberforce maintains a standard of scholarship as high as that in many of the country's colleges. Its faculty is composed of experienced teachers, whose scholarly attainments have won them high regard. THEODORE M. BATES, ESQ. Republican Candidate for County Auditor—Primaries, Tuesday, August 11, 1914. Theodore M. Bates was born in Massachusetts in 1858, came to East Cleveland in 1871, was educated in the Cleveland public schools and at Michigan University, admitted to practice law in 1879, was for several years a member of the Abstract Company, afterwards merged into The Guarantee Title & Trust Co., and has practiced law in Cleveland for many years. He was a member of the Cleveland city council, 1890 to 1892, and vice president of that body in 1891-2. He resigned in 1892 to accept an appointment as member of the Cleveland city council of Cleveland, in which office he continued until 1896, refusing at that time a reappointment. He was elected and PETER H. HARRIS served as a member and president of the Ohio State Decennial Board of Equalization in 1900-1901. Was nominated by the Republicans for the state senate in 1901, but went to defeat with the party, though running some 1,800 votes ahead of his ticket. In 1910 was elected on a non-partisan ticket as one of five members of the quadrennial Republican convention in 1910-1911, being the only Republican elected on the ticket and receiving the second highest vote cast for that office. He was president of the Tippecanoe Club in 1897, and has been a member of that club continuously since 1890. He lives at 1150 Mayfield Road and has a wife and five children. He is a Civic League has the following to say relative to Mr. Bates and his candidacy: THEODORE M. BATES (Rep.)-Attorney; resides 11500 Mayfield Road; age fifty-six; college and professional training; member city council, 1890-92; member of board of equalization, 1882-1896; president deennial board of equalization, 1900-1; member quadrennial board of assessors, 1900-10; bears an excellent reputation for ability and high character; especially well qualified by temperament, training and experience for this office. Adv. THE CIVIC LEAGUE'S REPORT. THEODORE B. GREEN (Rep.)—Attorney; resides 614 E. 107th St; age thirty-six; high school, academy and law school training; served as clerk in postoffice department in Washington, 1888-1903; is strongly recommended by men of his own race; would probably make a satisfactory Representative.

SUTTON (Rep.)-At torney; resides 2271 E. 101st St.; age twenty-nine; high school and law school training; never held public office; he is a young Colored man of good habits and reputation; but, in our opinion, has hardly the breadth of experience necessary in the Legislature. GEORGE W. SPOONER, ESQ. Republican Candidate for the Nomination for County Prosecutor—Primaries, Tuesday, August 11, 1914. Geo. W. Spooner, the energetic aspirant for the nomination for County Prosecutor on the Republican ticket is one of Cleveland's self-made men. He is a fighter that will add strength to the ticket and help others in the strife. Mr. Spooner was born in Cleveland thirty-five years ago, lived here all his life, was educated by personal effort in our public schools and business colleges, and finally, after studying nights at the Cleveland Law School, was admitted to the practice of law. He has been associated with the legal firm, Kerruish, Kerruish, Hartshorn & Spooner, for nine years and is now a partner. He is an excellent student and would ably attend to the county's business. More than this, he has a heart as big as his little body and has often befriended our people. Adv. WILLIAM J. HART. ESQ. A Deserving Republican of the "Old School." Who is Capable and Who Merits the Consideration He Is Seeking. William J.

HART, ESQ. chosen profession since October, 1889. He has built up a large and varied clientage, and his profession has called him into every court in the state—Ady. "Squire Hart", as he is generally addressed by the scores who know him, is broad-minded, genial, wholesouled, capable and deserving; a sturdy lion friend of the race for years, and The Gazette commends him, in the strongest possible manner, to the favorable consideration of the four thousand Afro-American voters of this city and county. If nominated and elected, he will make one of the best judges this indictal district has ever had. F. J. VAN WYE. Candidate for a Republican Nomina- tion as State Senator—Active, Capable and Deserving. Candidate for a Republican Nomination as State Senator—Active, Capable and Deserving. F. J. Van Wye is 42 years of age and has lived in Cleveland 19 years, never holding public office. But his wife, Katherine, man and lecturer mark him as an exeptionally well-cqualified candidate for the office he seeks. He was born and reared on a farm in Trumbull County, O., and worked his way through college by teaching school. His grandfather's farm was a station on the famous "Underground Railroad" in the days before the war of the rebellion; two of his uncles were killed the previous year; his father enlisted in 1881, and came home on one of his regiment, at the close of the war. Thus it can be seen that F. J. Van Wye was reared in an atmosphere of Republican patriotism, and naturally, as a result, is a firm believer in the importance of the Fiveteenth amendment and is bitterly opposed to the injustice and oppression of our people in the Southern states and wherever it exists. If nominated and elected, he can be depended upon to champion the cause of the people of the South, and deserves the support of every Colored voter in Cuyahoga county. Vote for ```markdown ``` Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Treasurer of State—Showed Practical Friendship for the Race. Representative E. C. Woodworth of Athens, should be the Republican nominee for Treasurer of State at the primaries August 11th, because he is a candidate with real political assets and can win at the November election. He is a life-long resident of Athens county, where he received his education. For several years he University. For several years he taught school and for ten years engaged in active newspaper work. In 1898 he enlisted in the Seventh Regiment, O. V. L. and served to the close of the American war. Representative Woodworth was elected and served two terms as treasurer of Athens county, and is now the present member of the House of Representatives from Athens county, serving his second term. In the 79th General Assembly, he was one of the first bill ever introduced in Ohio providing for the employment of convicts, on the public highways. In the 80th General Assembly the Democratic majority stole this idea of convict labor and incorporated it in a law passed at that session. He is the author of the law giving lawyers the right which to take examinations. He voted and worked for the Workman's Compensation law and all other labor measures designed for the betterment of the workman. In the 80th General Assembly he took a leading part in killing the pernicious Reppart bill, introduced for the sole purpose of insulting the Colored people of Ohio. It was Representative Woodworth who made the initial move which resulted in the deed to the land of the Reppart bill. Geographically he is located right, in Southeastern Ohio, which has not had a candidate for a state office for years. Let the slogan be: "WIN WITH WOODWORTH."—Adv. HOWARD UNIVERSITY Stephen M.

Candidate for the Republican Nomination for State Treasurer—A The subject of this sketch, Mr. Rudolph W. Archer, was born in Belleaire, Belmont county, Ohio, Sept. 20, 1869; served his county as treasurer from 1906 to 1911, and as a Republican, has always been found in the front ranks, fighting for the party, this time, for the nomination for treasurer of the special significance to, and special claims at the hands of, Republicans of Ohio, from the fact that he was the party's candidate for the same office two years ago when the state ticket was defeated by the Democratic landslide. That is why his friends are advancing his candidacy in such a vigorous manoeuvre, this fall, and they solicit the finest gation of his fitness and qualifications for the position he seeks. Mr. Archer, as a matter of fact, is entitled to the nomination on Aug. 11, and our voters of the state will make no mistake in voting for him. He has throughout his life been friendly to our people and will show this in a practical way. Mr. Rudolph W.

Senator, published last Saturday, was an item of $125 paid to W. D. Brascher. Think of it! touching one of Senator Foraker's opponents for so large an amount of "maranua." Somebody must have been "awful easy." Tell your friends to vote early at the primaries, Tuesday, as the number of ballots printed have been limited and may not be enough. Pass the word along. We must have Afro-American representation in the next legislature, and must vote for our great and good friend, Senator J. B. Foraker. We desire to ask all interested in the candidate of the editor of The Gazette State Representative to speak to their white Republican friends and acquaintances also, urging them, too, to be sure to vote for him (to put an X before his name on the ticket) on Aug. 11, the day of the primaries. Do not forget this, please. * * * * * The first of the week, the editor of The Gazette received a very pretty souvenir post-card from Lewis G. Adkins, who was at Colorado Springs, saying: "I am hunting, but not for chickens but for gold" and for Cripple Creek, Colo., Tuesday. Having a fine time, They all want to see the man from Cleveland. There are people here from all parts." The Mt. Pleasant children's home association has at last voted to abandon the "jim-crow" project The Gazette has steadily opposed for months and has at last done the proper thing. Two months ago, Mrs. J. C. Cooper, the matron, was discharged, and Miss Otella Thompson appointed to succeed her, but on account of the many opposing the color-line institution, it was decided to discontinue it. Good! Every one of our voters should take pride in voting for Senator Foraker, Tuesday, and getting every one else to do so we can. We certainly owe it to him. If you did not register, last year, you will have an opportunity to do so on Monday. Pass the word along. Do not forget that we need a Dependent to look after our interests—a man not only willing to do so but one also able to. Dr. J. K. Nickens, who has traveled and lectured extensively in the south, will lecture and show panoramic views of the Panama Canal, etc., at Lane Memorial C. M. E. church, Monday evening. Nearly 100 pictures will be shown of the Canal Zone and various businesses of our people. Many facts will be given. The doctor will tell his audience what kind of men should be elected to represent us in council and legislature. Tickets are selling rapidly. Whenever you hear an individual insinuating, with mock modesty: "Of course, I don't claim to know it all", write that person "down an ass" who, as a matter of fact, knows so little that he does not realize that you are able to see through his transparent and assinine effort to impress you with his great knowledge, when, as a lowly and possesses a very low order of intellectuality. This remark is "the stock in trade" of a few very cheap and dumb Negroes, young and old, in almost ever community—Ex. Edward T. Banks of Dayton, a republican candidate for State Representative, spoke ably at Luna Park, Monday. The swimming pool was empty, as usual, on "Emancipation Day," when he determined to keep our people out of it ALL THE TIME. It bars them the Park dance hall and roller-skating also, on other days of the year and we fail to invoke the aid of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Civil Rights' law to make them stop so discriminating against people, which earned money to them at least one day a year. SHAME O. SHAME!! The temporary—if not final—abandonment of the movement to establish a "colored" orphan asylum is one of the best things that could happen in Cleveland. The Cleveland. Orphan Asylum on St. Clair St. and The Children's Home on Detroit Ave. have alineed their care to a new regard to "face, color or previous condition of servitude". Where there are not lines, draw NONE: especially when the objects of the "lines" are faring as well.—If not better than they would under the separate institutions you would establish for them. The Gazette has urged from the beginning the abandonment of any such undertaking. Wm. R. Green, Esq., was the Afro-American candidate for the Legislature, two and four years ago, and was defeated each time with the tickets, or most of the candidates on the same with him. He is a brother of Theodore B. Green, Esq., present candidate for a Republican nomination for State Representative. The father, Hon. John P. Green, see below (six years) in the Ohio Legislature, as well as to Asch. S. Sutton, Esq., we respectfully refer "Mr. Williams" to the Civic League report on his candidacy, published elsewhere in this paper. More than the foregoing we cannot, in fairness, say at this time. The foregoing is in reply to questions submitted to the Gazette, this week, by "Mr. John F. Williams", a patron of the paper. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of that great race paper, The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette, and thrice a member of the Ohio Legislature, is again, at the solicitation of hundreds of Afro-American and white friends, seeking the nomination for the legislature. The Pioneer Press has attached the strenuous career and long service of Editor Smith during the 30 or more years that it has known him, and he has never been found wanting in that one most important quality for a man of color—race leadership. This alone would be worth the effort, which is rightfully his, but the qualifications possessed by him are so many and varied, that it would be in the nature of a calamity for his constituents in Cuyahoga County to allow him to fall in either the nomination or election. Not only is Editor Smith affecting the welfare of the race with which he is identified, but he is truly a representative man—one having hundreds of pale-face friends who can be depended upon to follow his standard. In conclusion, it gives us pleasure to know such a man as Editor Smith, membership in Ohio's legislature, and membership in the wish of the Pioneer Press that he may be successful at the primaries on August 11—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. DISTRICT GRAND LODGE MEET Bellefontaine, O., Aug. 5.—Ohio District Grand Lodge, in annual session today, elected the following officers: S. S. Cheeks, Oxford, grand-master; Thos.

The subject of this sketch is a fine example of a poor country boy who has learned to play violins and achieved success when others would have faltered and failed. He was next to the youngest in a family of nine children. His father was a house painter, and his mother an invalid. To relieve the poverty and privation of this home, George at the age of ten, "shifted" for himself. His ambition for an education was kindled while he was a child. By an increase in wages, and later by teaching school, he worked his way through fifteen terms at Normal school, four years at college and PETER H. three years at Law School. He was engaged in public school work for 17 years, rising near the top in that profession by becoming the superintendent of schools in a city of 8,000 people. He now has an extensive law practice, with offices at 732 Engineers Bldg. He has at all times proven himself a friend to the Colored people and a champion of their rights. He employs one Colored constable all the time and aids others in their effort to keep even the most illiterate. The Colored people should use every effort to get Mr. Gurney in the State Legislature. Thus they will not only honor one who has favored them, but in a larger and more important field, they will secure the services of one who is able and willing to be a champion of their cause.—Adv. HENRY I. EMERSON, ESQ Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Congress in the Twenty-Second District — A Good Friend of the Race. Mr. Emerson comes from "New England stock," and has conducted one of the hardest-fought campaigns ever carried on in this part of the state. He is one of the common people—easy to approach, and is highly spoken of among our people here in Cleveland HENRY I. EMERSON, ESQ. because his friends among us are many, the result of quiet demonstrations of true friendship extending over many years. When you go to the primaries, August 11, do not forget Henry I. Emerson, a leading attorney of this city for many years. He is capable and will, as a candidate for Congress, add strength to the Republican ticket, this fall.-Adv. THOMAS J. McMANUS. Republican Candidate for County Commissioner—An "Old Cleveland Boy" Who Was Reared Among Our People of "the Old Sixth Ward." There are hundreds of our older men who will remember "Tommy" McManus, because he was reared among us "up in the old sixth ward." He is "a true blue" friend of the race PETER H. and is exceptionally capable for the position of County Commissioner because of long years of experience in the various kinds of work handled in that office. We urge our people to do their level best to nominate Mr. Mc Manus as one of our candidates for County Commissioner, on Tuesday next. He will add strength to the ticket—Adv.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS That the South is the best place for the negro and that education ought to prove his salvation were two of the points made by Robert R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, in a recent address. "Thoughtful negroes as well as thoughtful white men," he said, "are agreed that the South offers the largest opportunity for the masses of the colored people. It is fair to assume, then, "That, for the present at least, the South cannot depend on foreign immigrants for its farm operatives, its domestic and personal service, or its unskilled and semi-skilled labor; "That it must depend on the negro for the present and also the very distant future to recruit the ranks of this form of labor; "That, if the negro is to constitute the mass of industrial operatives of the South, it is imperative for the common good that there should be sympathetic co-operation with the white workers engaged in similar forms of industry;" "That every effort should be exerted on the part of the South to make these laborers, black and white, more reliable, more skilful and more efficient; that the laborer can be kept efficient and skillful only as his environment is wholesome and strengthening and not weakening and demoralizing;" "That it is the duty of every patriotic southerner to use every possible means for the practical, sympathetic training of these workers and their children through a thorough, well-regulated school system. "It is frequently asserted by careless and thoughtless speakers and writers that all negroes are lazy, shiftless and inefficient; but in practically every district where negroes are employed, whether as farm laborers or as mechanical laborers, the verdict is that a large majority of negro workers are reliable, many of them are skilful and very efficient, and not a few are almost indispensable. There are very few places in the South where the employer would be willing to dispense with the services of his negro employees." The speaker gave a hint of the means which must be employed to keep these workers faithful and efficient. "No leader, either black or white," he remarked, "can give skillful, efficient, conscientious service when he is surrounded day and night by all that tends to lower his health, distort his mind, weaken his morals, embitter his spirit and shake his faith in his fellow men." Major Moton was led to emphasize the very great necessity of education for the negro. "There has been much criticism," he said, "and some fun and ridicule made at the expense of the educated negroes by, perhaps, well meaning people. But, after all is said and done, the most successful and the most reliable and the most influential element in the negro race, as in every race, is the educated class—the men and women who have done most to cement cordial and sympathetic relations between the races; who have had the greatest influence for caution and conservatism upon the reckless and radical negroes; who have been most patient and most persistent in their efforts to fit the whole negro race for freedom and citizenship, in their broadest and most perfect sense, by practical Christian education and nane, wholesome advice." Kindergarten for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the South as one of the agencies for improving social conditions that have troubled two generations. Richmond, Va., has lately opened an experimental kindergarten which has already created such interest among negro parents and the school authorities that it is expected it will soon be made permanent. The Richmond kindergarten was opened by the National Kindergarten Association of New York at the request of Richmond people who knew of the success of the demonstration given among the colored children at Chattanooga, Tenn., where the local association assumed the care and support of the school on March 1. The largest motor vessel in the world is the Slam, recently built at Copenhagen, with a displacement of 13,200 tons. The first telephone is said to have attracted little attention until Dom Pedro picked it up and expressed his delight at it. Canadian farmers are gradually discarding the heavy fence rails which have surrounded their properties for decades, and are erecting serviceable wire held fencing with attractive entrance gates. Jack pine trees planted ten years ago in the sand hills of Nebraska are now large enough to produce fence posts. The new wireless station at Fort Myer, near Washington, D. C., has a range of more than 5,000 miles. Oil that was in barrels in the pressroom floated on top of the water in Milwaukee newspaper plant was partly burned and coated the machinery so that it escaped corrosion. A powerful searchlight on top of the tallest building in Indianapolis is a valuable adjunct to both the police and fire departments. The average length of life, it is stated, rose from 21% years in the sixteenth century to 40% years in the nineteenth century. Boley, Okla., was founded by John C. Leftwich, and other influential colored men, nine years ago. It is the youngest, but also the largest, exclusive negro and Indian town in the world. In the open forest, remote from civilization, a handful of red and black men, who held that voluntary segregation was the only solution of certain vexed race problems, set about proving their theory in a practical way. The city has grown to 8,000 population. There are churches, schools and stores, but there is not a whiten person in town or in the surrounding country. There are hotels where visiting whites may stop, but none will be allowed to purchase land or remain as citizens. The community has kept pace with the town, as something over two thousand Indian and negro farmers are cultivating the soil. Boley, has a model city government under control of the black race. The citizens are peaceable and thrifty. It may be said, to the credit of these black and Indian people, that no soilons, poolrooms, or houses of questionable character, exist in their remarkable little city. Loafers and disturbers are made to move on. Cotton-gins, sawnills, lumber yards and many factories are among enterprises established, besides 150 colored merchants. The trade to the city comes exclusively from Indian and negro people. The leading citizens are boosting the town to 25,000 population. Among the essential materials that help the town are churches of five different faiths. The "submerged" part of the black race is a heavy incubus upon its educated, prosperous members, asserts Mrs. L. H. Hammond in her book, "In Black and White. "As fast as they enter this class they withdraw into a world of their own, a world which lies all about their own, a world whose existence we are scarcely aware. It is largely the inefficients, the failures or the immature and untrained who remain with us." It will not do to dismiss the wretched condition of negroes in hovels with a shoulder shrug and a complacent "They like what they've got: they're made that way." It may be true, but there is truth beyond that truth. Mrs. Hammond urges legal condemnation of these unsanitary settlements, to be replaced (agency unnamed) by decently habitable quarters; maintenance of which could, for one thing, be helped by proper methods of rent collection. She urges also an "experiment station" in negro housing, and thinks an ordinary city block, though one-third of it were to be given over to playground and other "community" uses, would give satisfaction returns from the rental of "decent little houses" covering the other two-towers. She wishes the poorer negroes in the cities could be turned back to the land; "not because they are negroes," but because country life is so desirable a haven of refuge for those who are unable to get along in the towns. She does not tell just how they are to be got there, and just what they are to do when they get there. China has been hit hard by the increased cost of living. The price of rice has jumped 50 per cent since 1911—due partly to the famine and more to the destruction of crops during the fighting on the Yangtse. Not to be outdone by the new coins of the United States, the Bulgarian government has commissioned an Austrian factory to coln a variety of pieces, 20, 10 and 5 stotinks. One hundred stotings equal 19.3 cents. Charles Frederick Holder, in "Travel," describes a little-known region of California as "The Garden of Titans." The Coiorado "Garden of the Gods," he asserts, sinks into insignificance beside the new wonderland. Trees for beautifying school grounds are furnished free to rural schools in California by the Chico State Normal school. Chico will also send, on request, a man to lay out school gardens in rural communities. The word milliner is a corruption of Milaner, from Milan, the city which once established the hat styles for the world. Aluminum-soled shoes are made for laborers compelled to work on damp ground or wet floors. They have leather tops. A smoking tree is one of the natural wonders of Ono, Japan. Strange to say, it smokes only in the evening, just after sunset, and the smoke issues from the top of the trunk. Some English firemen have electric lamps mounted on their helmets backed by reflectors, which project a powerful ray in front of them. Verhoyansek, in northeastern Siberia, is the coldest inhabited town in the world. The winter maximum is 85 degrees below zero. The momentum of a modern 12-car railroad train running a mile a minute is equal to that of a ton weight falling from a height of 21 miles. Nearly 20 per cent of the persons engaged in agricultural pursuits in this country are members of industrial and economic organizations. Germany supports nine-tenths of its population by products of the soil. Safety pins are more important than ancestors. BASEBALL An unusually dependable Indian twirler has been secured by the Muskogee club in Likowsky, a Creek, who had a try-out this spring with the Dallas club of the Texas league. He was released and joined Muskogee, where recently he has developed into a sensation. CY YOUNG IN HOTEL LEAGUE PARIS DECRYPTION Leading Modistes Eve tire Costumes O of Black S SKIRTS SHORT A Gloves and Shoes M Sorts and Conditions --- They say of Brooklyn's Vancouver recruit pitcher, Schmutz, that he "resembles Ray Fisher a great deal, though he has an easier delivery and conceals his moist offerings very cleverly. The young man has pronounced speed and a very fair curve ball." Heinie Groh, of the Reds, has a position at the plate that differs from the stand of any other player. He faces the pitcher square, but as soon as the ball is pitched Heinie begins to shift and he is in good position when he makes his swing. Many improvements have been made at Exposition Park, the home of the Pittsburgh Federals. The entrance has been rebuilt and a new ticket office, new turnstiles and better accommodations in general will now be furnished. It is getting to be a habit with Veach of Detroit, to make a base hit when Sam Crawford is passed purposely to give the pitchers a chance at Veach. A way out of this for pitchers would be to strike out Crawford, then pass Veach. Just because Jack Graney, the Nape' outfielder, dropped a fly and let three runs score, Manager Birmingham fined him twenty-five simoleons. Wonder how big a fine Snodgrass drew when he made that famous world's series muff? Pete Falsey, Yale outfielder, has been signed by the Pirates. At last Manager Fred Clarke has come to the conclusion that he can't make good without a couple of college chaps. --- It's enough when a pitcher like Marquard, Mathewson or Cheney hands the Pirates a defeat, but when they get it from a Tincup—good night! Ray Collins, the veteran southpaw of the Red Sox, who has been of little use to the team this year, seems to be just rounding into form. George Chalmers, the pitcher who has just been released by the Phillies, will no doubt be able to come back another year. We can't see how some players can be so ungrateful. After being given free transportation to first they immediately steal second. The fans of Philadelphia are not boasting much of the chances of the Athletics to win another pennant just at present. Benny Kauff, who is the leading slugger in the Federal league, was with the New York Americans at one time. --- Bill Carrigan thinks that he has secured a comer in Pitcher Ruth, who comes from the Baltimore Orioles. Neer and Farr are playing on a Virginia league team. As good as that famous battery, Upp and Downs. Rube Marquard, the Giants' left-handed pitching artist, is displaying wonderful control these days. Honus Wagner has made over 3,000 hits. It may be a year or two before he makes another thousand. Walter Johnson's loyalty to organized baseball grows more and more with every game he loses. Manager Dooin of the Phillies has been trying to land a good shortstop, but without much success. Big Jeff Tesreau of the Giants has recovered control of the ball and is going like a real pitcher. George Stovall says the automobile craze has knocked the stuffing out of the baseball attendance. Charlie Herzog kept his team up in the front ranks much longer than he was expected to do. The Naps have recalled Pitcher Morton from the Waterbury team of the Eastern association. Charlie Herzog of the Reds wants to get Dode Paskert of the Phillies for the Cincinnati team. Louis Steidel, a semi-pro pitcher of Terre Haute, Ind., has joined the Brooklyn Federals. The Detroitis are occupying the role of jinx for the Chancemen, assisted by several others. Jim Kelley of the Pirates says his right name is not Taggart, as reported, but Jim Kelley. Ex-Manager Jerry Kane of McAlester has signed with the Joplin team as shortstop. Beck of the St. Louis Cardinals has one of the best throwing arms in the big leagues. Jack Slattery, the old Washington catcher, has been coaching the Tufs college nine. President Lannin of the Red Sox is very anxious to sign up his men for next season. M. Denton T. Young can't quit. After his late lamented engagement with the Federal league it was supposed he wouldn't show up again, but now comes the news that the once "grand old man" is pitching for a team at Benton Harbor, Mich., that exhibits for the amusement of resorters. Young's career was nothing short of wonderful for a pitcher. He served 22 years in the game, beginning with Cleveland in 1890 and ending with the Boston Nationals in 1912. "Cy" made some remarkable records during his stay in major league company. Should any of the Giants be affected with "charley horse" Manager McGraw will not be under expense for doctors, as Dave Robertson, his slugging outfielder, is a veterinary. The St. Paul club has given Outfielder Charley Hemphill his unconditional release; and the Cleveland club has given an unconditional release to Catcher Frank Roth. "Doc" Reisling, of the London team, thinks it might be a good idea to take a base ball team to England after the Canadian league teams' season is over. Red Faber has proved to be the saliva of the White Sox this year, and is now the grandest little life-saver in the American league. Thomas ("Buck") O'Brien, a pitcher, has been released by the Indianapolis club to the Memphis club, of the Southern league. George Kelsey, once manager of the Oklahoma City club, in the Texas league, is batting at a .333 clip with the Tulsa club. Hub Perdue, the pitcher traded to the Cardinals by the Braves, is said to use the longest bat of any player in the league. Spike Shannon, the former New York-St. Louis outfielder, is making good as an umpire in the Federal league. The Brooklyn Club has taken on for trial a local semi-pro. catcher named Sam Trainer. Manager Birmingham is having trials a-plenty in Cleveland. Eddie Grant has proved a good utility man for McGraw. SPORTING WORLD Quoit pitchers are interested in a game that will be held at Buffalo in September. The contestants will be Robert Colander, a noted Canadian expert, and William Stemp, who holds the championship of England. At the German Olympic games in Berlin in 1916, for the first time since the revival of the famops Greek games, a member of German's royal family will be seen in competition. He is Prinz Frederick Karl, a nephew of Kalser Wilhelm. Richard Strauss of Berlin, son of the composer, is an enthusiastic motorcyclist. He says that in many respects he prefers American motorcycles to those built on the continent. Mike Gibbons is to make another effort to gain the middleweight title. The St. Paul boxing marvel is anxious to take on Jimmy Clabby and believes that he can defeat him. Mrs. T. C. Bundy, who was May Sutton, known as the greatest woman tennis player that ever wielded a racquet, has announced that she will return to the tennis court. Dr. Emanuel Lasker will play A. K. Rubinstein for the chess championship. The series will begin in Germany in the fall. This country may see several of the contests. Lawson Robertson, one of the best known coaches of athletic teams in the country, has been engaged to train the athletes of Hungary for the next Olympic games. President Woodrow Wilson has donated a yachting trophy, which will be raced for in San Francisco next April in the 12-meter international vacht event. The Casine, at Newport, where the Davis cup finals will be played, will be improved at an expense of $50,000. Coach Courtney has been instructing Cornell oarsmen 30 years. An effort is to be made to boom cycle racing again. --- PARIS DEGREES COLOR SEASON Leading Modistes Even Show Entire Costumes Composed of Black Satin. SKIRTS SHORT AND SKIMPY Gloves and Shoes Must Match All Sorts and Conditions of Dresses—Decollete Corsage and Transparent Sleeves Revive Memories of Long Ago. PARIS.—I have just been studying some lovely gowns. They were created by Drecoll and each one was a gem in its own way. In England it is said that this is "a white season." I have heard on the best authority that the most effective gowns specially created for Ascot are pure white, in chiffon, Indian muslin or lace. But the most exclusiv among the Paris dressmakers are using quantities of black, or dark blue, silk and gauze for the smart race toilet, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. Whole costumes composed of black satin are to be seen in the Rue de la Palx showrooms, and as to picturesque gowns made of filmy black lace—they may be said to be ubuntuous. A Drecoll model is particularly original in outline. It shows the new swathed sash which molds the hips and the smart tunic which is semi-Persian in "ligne." It also shows the exaggeratedly decollete corsages which are so generally worn nowadays in the afternoon. This model was made of midnight-blue charmeuse and striped gauze which had lines of dark blue and white, with hair stripes of silver in between. Fashionable Skimpy Skirt. The skirt was short and—as is the present fashion—very skimpy. The tunic in this instance was not unduly long and, under the folds of the sash, it was set into a plain hip-yoke. The corsage was partly made of gauze and partly of tulle. It was exquisitely fragile and clinging and the sleeves were quite short. With such sleeves as these immensely long gloves should be worn and the latest idea is that these gloves should be in pearl gray suede, dainty shoes to match being worn with all sorts and conditions of dresses. The hat with this costume was one of the favorite models of the present season. It was of the "plateau" order and almost flat in the crown. At the back it was raised on a high bandeau and lavisly trimmed with shaded ostrich feathers. The Parisiennes wear these hats with grace and charm. The hair is dressed high at the back to give support to the hat and kisscurls are invariably seen at the sides, just in front of the ears. I must draw attention to a big butterfly bow at the back of the swathed sash. Bows of this kind are frequently seen on the new models by Drecoll, Paquin, Worth, etc., and they are exceedingly effective on tall women. The dress would look extremely well suited to the hot taffeta hat, which attached itself to Shantung and a corsage made of chiffon in the leading color of the taffeta. For the Afternoon. Or, for a thoroughly useful afternoon gown, it would be lovely in black charmeuse, with a wide sash of saphire blue gauze, or soft silk. A remarkable feature of all the new race gowns is the decollete corsage and very short, transparent, sleeves. Our grandmothers speak of these corsages as "evening bodices," but if our great-grandmothers were living they would probably regard the fashion with delighted eyes, for it would recall their own young days. I am not quite sure about the actual date, but I fancy it was in the "early Victorian" days that round, decollete corsages and exaggeratedly short sleeves were worn in the daytime. I rather think that crinolines were in fashion at the same time and "poke" bonnets. The afternoon corsages of today—especially those prepared for the Grand Prix—are fragile to a degree. They are frequently made of tulle or the finest net, and the short sleeves, which only reach half way down the upper arm, are transparent. The effect is dainty and exceedingly picturesque, and when very long gloves are worn the arms do not look too bare. Gowns From Worth. I have seen some lovely race gowns chez Worth, composed of chiffon and taffeta in a cool shade of "pumice stone gray." This is one of the favorite colors of the season and it is delightful when combined with lemon yellow or with desert-dawn-pink. Worth is using embroidered taffeta in this color, the embroidered being carried out in soft silks mingled with fine silver threads. One exquisite gown, intended for "The Drags," had an accordion plaited skirt of pumice stone gray taffeta and an embroidered tunic of chiffon to match. There was a swathed gash in desert-dawn pink charmeuse and the fragile corage was entirely made of the same chiffon as that of the tunic. A chemisette of white tulle, with a high Puritan collar, gave a finishing Susie's grandmother had been scolding her. Susie felt indignant, but had been taught never to "answer back." However, she got even. Taking her kitten in her arms, she thus soilloquized: "Kitty, I wish one of us was dead this minute. Not you kitty, nor me, kitty, but one of us three in this room." --- Shanting can boast of forty centuries of agricultural activity. It is touch to a particularly successful gown. Gloves and Shoes Match Dress. I must not neglect to mention that the shoes and long gloves were in suede in exactly the same shade of pumice stone gray as the dress and large diamond buckles appeared on the low fronts of the former. A race dress seen in Drecoil's ateliers exploited the prevailing popularity of black taffeta. This seems a curious material for summer wear—as I had occasion to remark at the beginning of this article—but one cannot account for that mysterious thing called Fashion. The gown in question was created for one of the most admired actresses on the French stage, and though it was simple in style it was amazingly effective. The short underskirt was scalloped at the hem. Then there was a very long tunic, gathered at the waist and also scalloped at the hem. The corsage bloused in front, but at the back it was fashioned like a short coatte, and the sleeves were very short and loose. It was a very aunt costume, but attractive; the hat which accompanied it was 1880 in style, with a narrow brim and high crown. It was trimmed with a cluster of beautiful black feathers. Favor Long Tunics. All the leading Parisian dressmakers continue to regard with favorable eyes the ultra-long tunic which makes the skirt with which it is worn look like a petticoat. In some cases the tunics are so long and the skirts so tight and short that the outline is absolutely ridiculous. I have more than once mentioned that these exaggeratedly long tunics cut the figure and make any but very tall and slender women look "dumpy." But in Paris women of all sizes—and all ages—wear these tunics. It is one of those fashion which seem to appeal to all tastes. A hat with an immensely high lace bow is one of the 1880 styles which specially please the smart Parisiennes. This hat is made of black tafeta and 14 A Summer Novelty is the Flower Toque, Composed Entirely of Giant Pansies. the huge bow is composed of embroidered tulle. This bow takes the form of a butterfly and it is, of course, invisibly wired. Flower Togue. There are strings to this model and these are tied in a small bow at one side. The drawing shows one of the latest toes, covered with giant pansies. The shape is turban and the toe is close fittig. The pansies—which are made of silk and velvet—are immensely large and the shape is entirely covered with them. At the left side there is a brush algrette made of white horsehair. Flat brimmed hats covered with satin or taffeta tree an absolute rage in Paris this summer. After a long spell of extremely small hats and toques pretty women are accepting the picture models with avidity. Daily these hats grow larger and larger. We shall find the real "picture" styles in full flood of favor when the Trouville season opens. Bunches of ripe fruit—such as oranges and lemons—are very much used in the millinery world. Very attractive tooes are trimmed with clusters of golden oranges mingled with sprays of scented orange blossom. Lemons are used in the same way and very realistic peaches are to be seen on some of the best Rue de la Paix models. For the Little Boy. Children of three and four years are now wearing more embroidery than formerly. The little Dickens suits have probably brought this in, as the little straight shirts worn with the plain knickerbockers are much "be-scaloped." The collars and the cuffs are scalloped and buttonhole in white, if the blouse is in a color, and in pink or blue if the blouse is in white. The shirt of the Dickens suits always is of a contrasting color to the knickerbockers, so that the best plan is to embroider the little shirt in a color to match the knickerbockers. There may be a tiny pocket in the left side of the shirt and the little lad's initials or monogram may be embroidered upon it. still an agricultural province with an area of 55,000 square miles—about equivalent to that of the state of Wisconsin—with an estimated population of 30,000,000, and has been forced to a degree of intensive cultivation unknown to the farmers of the United States.

Girlhood chums, their paths of life had separated and when they accidentally encountered one another, naturally they had many things to discuss; mutual friends, etc. "By the way, Mamie," inquired Mary, "what ever became of Bill Smithers—that ugly, bow-legged man, who was such a simpleton that he could not come in out of the rain?" A frigid look overspread Mamie's face. With the hauteur that her sex can display on needed occasions, she freezingly spoke: "Madam, he is my husband." Poor Mary. What could she say? Her face was scarlet and she worked her brain overtime to say something to appease her friend.
