Nish. Servia.—Servian troops res occupied Sabac (Shabats) at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Monday Aug. 24, according to an official anouncement just made. The Austrians have been thrown back on the other bank of the River Save, and every bit of Servian territory has now been cleared of the enemy. The anouncement adds that the retreating Austrians devastated Servian villages and massacred the inhabitants. Sabac is on the River Save, 27 miles west of Beijrade. The taking of Nish by Austrians occurred Aug. 15. That Servia is preparing to wage a war of no quarter to her enemies is indicated in a note sent by Servia to the French government, protecting against the alleged order from the headquarters of the Austrian army to burn Servian crops and to fire Servian villages all along the Austrian line of march. This note says further that in view of Austrian cruelties to Servian troops it will be very difficult to restrain the Servians from measures of aggression. The Servian government finds itself constrained to take all measures of reprisal compatible with international law. A dispatch from Antivariel, Monte negro, says the fortifications of Cattaro, the Austrian seaport in Dalmatia, on the Adriatic, have been completely destroyed and that the Austrian commander is, now parleying for terms of surrender. The bombardment of Cattaro was conducted by a fleet of the allies. London, England.—A dispatch from Paris to Reuter's Telegram Co. says: "The losses of the Austrians in the battle of the Drina continue to grow according to telegrams from Nish. The latest aver that out of 300,000 Austrians engaged 15,000 were killed, 30,000 wounded and 15,000 made prisoners. Seventy-five guns were captured." With the reoccupation of Shabat by the Servians, says a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Cetinje, Montenegro, the 4,000 Austrian prisoners have been doubled, 4,000 additional men having been captured between Losaura and Shabat during the Servian march to occupy the latter town. spondent, "appears to have undertaken this measure to give time to her army operating against France to try to deal the British and French armies their death blow and then to march on to Paris, the distance between Mons and Paris being four times less than the distance between St. Petersburg and Berlin." London.—Undaunted by the crushing defeat in their first main attack and the capture of Namur by the German forces, the allied armies are preparing for another concerted attack. The fall of Namur, which is regarded as one of the most strongly fortified cities in the world, while in explicable is nevertheless admitted in a statement of the official English press bureau. London, England.—"Despite the German efforts to minimize the extent and importance of the Russian victories," says the Standard's Copenhagen correspondent, "the German public apparently is not satisfied of their security. A panic seems imminent in Berlin. Wealthy Germans are leaving the city and hastening toward Scandinavia by way of Copenhagen. A number of these already have passed through this city." United States Remains Neutral. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson has just issued a proclamation declaring the United States neutral in the war between Germany and Japan. Veteran Firemen Meet. Sandusky, O.—The Lorain County Volunteer Firemen's association, holding its annual convention and tournament at Vermilion, voted unanimously to increase its membership by embracing volunteer firemen's organizations of the past and present throughout northern Ohio. It changed its name to the Western Reserve Volunteer Firemen's association. C. R. Graham of Oberlin was elected president. Tournament honors went to Elyria, Oberlin, Medina, Wellington, and Huron. THE GAZETTE Meet Defeat After Concerted Advance Along Southern Frontier of France. Plans to Abandon Temporarily East and West Prussia to Russians So That He Can Push on Paris, According to Military London, England—German forces were repulsed with heavy losses after a concerted advance all along the southern frontier of France, according to an official bulletin given out by the local war office. The French were attacked in force by the Germans and the battle which followed is so have been one of the most successful from the standpoint of the defenders since the war began. The correspondent of Reuter's Telegram Co. reports an engagement in which an entire division of German cavalry was annihilated and advices from other sources indicate the enormity of the casualties. The Petit Parisien reports that the German advance started before daybreak of Tuesday. Britons in Thick of It. The same paper, in describing the fighting near Moss, reports that the British troops bore the brunt of six furious attacks and that wounded British soldiers reported that the allies raised a veritable hectacom of German corpses near the city. Belgian dispatches also bring cheering news of the success of the allied forces. The Belgians are said to have reoccupied Malines and to have pushed operations beyond that city, having succeeded in destroying the defensive works thrown up by the Germans. A dispatch to the Havas agency from Ostend says that a squadron of Uhlans, with quick-dring guns, have seized a railroad station near Ostend. They carried away the station safe, blew up a portion of the track and left in the direction of Ostend. At Snaekske bridge Belgian gendarmes in automobiles and on bicycles came up with and engaged them. After an hour's fighting the Uhlans fled, carrying away seven dead. The Belgians had six men killed and two wounded. Captives Sent to France. The wounded gendarmes have been placed aboard the steamer Princess Elizabeth, which is kept at the dock with steam up, ready to leave at a moment's notice for Dunkirk, France. A number of German prisoners also are on board the Princess Elizabeth. They include an officer and 30 men who are suffering from wounds. Unofficial military opinion is that the fighting along the French-Belgian frontier continues. Quiet confidence exists in Paris that the allies will hold off the German attack, the French forces will proceed longer arrives, the dispatch to the Havas agency from Antwerp says that King Albert is at present at the Belgian army headquarters, which has been established at Malines. Two Saxon princes, the correspondent continues, have installed themselves in the royal chateau at Lacken, a suburb of Brussels. To Push On to Paris. The Hague, via London.—The military correspondent of the Nienwei Courant declares he is able to state on trustworthy authority that the Germans plan to abandon temporarily east and west Prussia and Pomerania to the Russians and withdraw slowly to the River Oder, where the main defenses of Berlin lie. "Germany," according to the corre- Pennsy G. O. P. Meets. Pittsburgh. Pa.—The Republican state committee and thousands of G. O. P. voters, meeting in the Pitt theater here, adopted with little discussion a platform. Its principal features are: Reaffirmation of the party's belief of the protective tariff; deploring the Wilson administration policy in Mexico; urging an American marine built, owned and manned by Americans, protected by an adequate navy; pledges to enact child labor, women's labor and workmen's compensation laws. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O... SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914. Virginia Elks Line Up For Former Chief. FULLY QUALIFIED TO LEAD. Members of Progressive Secret Fraternity Called Upon to Show Appreciation For Work of Dr. James E. Mills, Through Whose Statesmanlike Efforts the Order Was Reunited. Norfolk, Va. - As the time approaches for the great Elks' convention, which meets in this city the latter part of this month, speculation is very pronounced as to the future policies of the order. As we look back over the fourteen or fifteen years of the activities that confronted the Negro Elk relative to his vital existence and compare them with the efforts of the present regime we are forced to admit that the personality of Dr. James E. Mills, past grand exalted ruler, stands out in bold relief as a principal factor in furthering the progress of this order. It is admitted that during his regime consolidation was accomplished and that the same acknowledgment fact throughout the birthhood. That the organization needs a man at its head well versed in its methods, one who can order the every function that pertains to its ritualistic workings, is an urgent demand, and as we compare the past with the present and view the many inactive lodges, numbering at least forty, it is essential that a man who is willing to work along these lines and bring in these lodges is the demand of the order, Dr. Mills I at this time the one person to put this order in its rightful attitude as consistent with its principles. For fifteen years this organization has been freighted with external and internal troubles due to the attacks M. B. from without and the recalcitrant forces within. Nevertheless the best results were obtained when Mills and Atkins swung into line, forming the long union desired, and settling through the courts the rights as to the copyright and who is entitled thereto. The final adjustment of this issue certainly was due to the unifying efforts of Past Grand Exalted Ruler Mills and his forces, and that the prominent and effective organization of the Antered Herd, as composed in tidewater Virginia, should be honored with this position there can be no doubt. To serve its best interest, it is more than urgent that they at this time act together and work for the interest that best serves for the further and substantial progress of this order. No order can succeed unless it is headed by capable, intelligent and active leadership, one well versed in the affairs of that which he seeks to serve. In looking over the vast number of able men it goes without contradiction that Dr. Mills is the man to head the organization, and from all indications he will be given the rights of government, and once more the magnificent array of young men of this organization will have made its very best selection, and at the same time new energies will be injected into the order. That Dr. Atkins is in accord with Dr. Mills is well known, as their endearing friendship under any condition has always been adamant for years, for no better confidence was manifested as to the same than was advanced in the settlement of the differences between the Afro-American Elks of this country. As an organizer Fast Grand Exalted Ruler Mills is known as the best, for when we recall the fact that from one lodge he made the order to sixty-five lodges throughout this country it is fitting evidence as to his ability to work. Mills for grand exalted ruler—at this time gratitude and honor demand it, aside from his natural ability for leadership. Virginia to Hold National Exposition. The promoters of the proposed national exposition to be held at Fort Lee, not far from Richmond, Va., in 1915 are making considerable progress in getting their plans before the country. Congress has voted an appropriation of $5,000 to be used in promoting the project to show the progress of the colored race during fifty years of freedom. AFFAIRS AT WILBERFORCE. Trustees Resolution Would Halt School's Progress if Made Effective. The writer of "Echoes From My Den," in a recent issue of the Southern Christian Recorder, makes spine very broad statements in criticism of the board of trustees of the Wilberforce, O. university, the work of the bishops and presiding elders of the A. M. E. church and other men and matters pertaining to the management and work of this noted school. If what the writer of "Echoes From My Den" says is true, then the great A. M. E. church should call a halt on those who presume to dictate the policy of Wilberforce university, especially that part which has to do with the duties of the president in personally using his influence in raising funds for the institution's needs and the management of the program for the commencement season at Wilberforce. In speaking of President William S. Scarborough, under whose able administration the school has greatly increased its usefulness, enlarged its plant, put up splendid new buildings, and gained wide popularity among the leading educational institutions of the country, the writer of "Echoes From My Den," in part says: "But I must tell you what they did for Mr. Scarborough. Why they actually lost sight of that magnificent building in their effort to make him tell where he got all the money from and from whom he got it and forbade him getting any more if he didn't tell who gave it to him. And then they went a step farther. They passed a resolution forbidding the president from contracting any debt, however small, in the name of the institution. In other words, they "resolved" all the president's responsibility and prestige away and attempted to publish the same to the world." If the above is true and if it were out to practice at Wilberforce or any other hool of the A. M. E. denomination it would paralyze the whole locational system of the church. Professor arborough never was a figure in any institution or of men. and who know him well may be sure he is able to take care of himself and the interest of Wilberforce university notwithstanding the sweeping statements made by the author of "Echoes From My Den." The A. M. E. church is not likely to allow its institutions of whatever kind to retrograde through interference from any source. What the race needs in all departments of its activities in church, school and other agencies for uplift is competent, educated men and women who are willing to put the cause they represent forward instead of themselves. Until such a course is taken we cannot expect the best results from our efforts to achieve success along any line. Wilberforce university is progressive. It has a progressive president and an able faculty. Its students and graduates are to be found in all sections of the country among those of the race who are aiming high and among the leaders of thought and action. BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION WORK SHOWS BIG INCREASE. No Cause For Undue Alarm, Saya the Board's Report. There are times when some of our leaders think because we have not a large number of American missionaries in foreign fields the work is not growing, says a recent report of the Baptist foreign mission board. It should be remembered that the efforts of all foreign mission boards is to get a prepared native ministry. One prepared native African can do the work of an American missionary and act as an interpreter and, if properly prepared, can do the work of three. Our foreign mission board has quite twenty young people in the various schools of our country preparing to return to Africa, South America and the islands of the sea. Among the very best workers now in the employ of our convention are the Rev. John Chilimbele, British Central America, a former student of Virginia seminary and college, and Rev. John Ntahia in Pondland, South Africa, a former student of State university, Kentucky. The above brethren have had the most marvelous success of any men connected with our work. Rev. John N. Menzie, college graduate from Wilberforce and State university, is one of the very best teachers in our schools, with Rev. J. E. East. These are all trained natives. The board reports this as one of the best years of the past eighteen of its work. More than 1,500 persons have been baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist churches and missions in foreign lands, it says. Work of the Late Colonel James Lewis. Not so many of the younger men and women of our race know of the work, positions of trust and responsibility held by the late Colonel James Lewis of New Orleans, because as a rule he never mingled freely with his people. Nevertheless he was a zealous worker for racial advancement. Colonel Lewis was appointed United States naval officer by President Hayes, surveyor general by President Arthur, deputy collector of estates and immigration inspector by President Harrison and surveyor general by President McKinley and Roosevelt. In the city government of New Orleans he was commissioner of police and public buildings and administrator of public improvements. Passing of Old Regime Marked by the Adoption of a Resolution Which Makes the Office of Grand Chancellor a Salaried Position—Activity of the Younger Members. New York.—The twenty-fifth annual session of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, state of New York, held recently at Caribbean hall in this city, was the most largely attended session in many years. Great interest was manifested in its proceedings from the opening day until the end of the three days' session. Sir Lee Crawford, grand chancellor, presided. The credentials committee reported the following subordinate lodges which were represented by regularly elected delegates: Majestic, Progressive, Vernon, Washington, Ben-Hur, Execsor, Arcturus, Pilgrim and Emmanuel, all of this city and Brooklyn; Lincoln. SIR LEE CRAWFORD. Douglass, J. A. Walker, Wilmore. Nightingale and Zion of Westchester county, Charles Sumner of Syracuse and Damon of Utica. There were also eight other lodges represented. The past chancellor's degree was conferred upon twenty-six sir knights, the largest number to receive this degree at one time in the history of the organization. The annual report of Grand Chancellor Crawford was listened to with great interest throughout its reading. When the grand chancellor had concluded his reading one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever witnessed in the grand lodge took place. Every man was instantly on his feet cheering Sir Crawford. For fully three minutes this continued. It was a grand ovation and well merited, for every one present agreed that his report was the most complete and encouraging resume of the progress of the order for one year that was ever presented to the grand lodge in this jurisdiction. This session marked the transition from the "old grand lodge" dominated for years by a small group of men of the old school, who were satisfied to let the "order" drift along in the same old rut so long as they were at the helm, to the "new grand lodge," ruled by the younger and more progressive set of sir knights, who were determined to revolutionize things and put new life into the order from one end of the state to the other. This young element was led and directed in the fight by that successful organizer from Westchester county. N. Y., Sir Paul H. Bray of Lincoln, No. 15, Yonkers. Among the most important and radical steps taken was the passage of the resolution offered by Sir Paul H. Bray placing the grand chancellor on an annual salary sufficient to enable him to devote his entire time and service to building up the order. The "reformers" felt that the time had arrived to place the Pynian order on a business basis in order that it might take on new life and grow rapidly. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Sir Lee Crawford, grand chancellor; Sir Adolph Howell of New York city, grand vice chancellor; Sir James L. Pinn of Syracuse, grand prelate; Sir D. A. Ags of New York city, grand keeper of records and seals; Sir William H. McFarland of Brooklyn, grand master of the exchequer; Sir John R. Hoyt, grand secretary of reserve fund department; Sir P. W. Jones of New York, treasurer reserve fund department; Sir C. P. McLendon of New Rochelle, grand medical registrar; Sir E. Richardson of New York, grand lecturer; Sir J. R. Harvey of Mount Vernon, grand marshal; Sir W. H. Smith of New York city, grand lodge attorney; Sir Paul H. Bray of Yonkers, past grand chancellor; Sir F. P. Peresett of Uden, supreme representative; Sir Wilfred H. Smith, supreme representative to fill unexpired term of Sir H. Leigh Jones; Sir D. R. Johnson, Brooklyn, grand master, atrms; Sir William Frohnan, grand inner guard; Sir B. F. Hutchings, grand outer guard; Sir Samuel J. Davis of New Rochelle, grand trustee. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS BOTH SIDESTELL OF BATTLES WON Russian and Austrian Armies Report Being Victorious in Prussia and Poland. Representatives of Newspapers Narrate Engagements Between Nations Now at War—Roads Strewn With Knapsacks, Cartridges and Equip London, England — The Russian embassy is in receipt of telegraphs from the general staff at St. Petersburg, which announce fresh Russian victories against Germany and Austria. These messages declare that Russian troops now occupy the whole of the eastern and southern half of eastern Prussia. A report was received from Paris that Russians occupied Marienburg, in west Prussia, 27 miles southeast of Danzig. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Exchange Telegraph Co. said that German troops retreating in the direction of Osterode, east Prussia, left behind them about 100 pieces of artillery. Austrian Victory Reported. Official reports made public in Vkna and received from Berlin by wireless say that a battle of three days' duration at Krasnik (in Russian Poland, 28 miles southwest of Lublin) ended in a complete Austrian victory. The Russian forces were repulsed along the entire front of 70 kilometers (42 miles) and are now in full flight in the direction of Lublin. A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. from St. Petersburg says that the Russian chief of staff announces that since Sunday the Russian invasion of Galicia and Prussia continued uninterruptedly along a wide front. The Times' St. Petersburg correspondent says that the Germans, who retreated by forced marches after their defeat by the Russians at Gumbinnen, are assembling a part of their forces at Koenigsberg. The German fortified position on the River Angerab was abandoned without fighting. Roads Strewn With Cartridges. "The roads beyond the Angerab are strewn with cartridges, knapsacks and equipment cast aside in the hasty flight of the German troops," says the Times correspondent. "North of Neidenburg Sunday and Monday there was stubborn fighting in which the Russians were again victorious, largely through their superb use of the bayonet. The enemy here had assembled the entire 20th army corps in a fortified position. The Russians had to negotiate pits and barbed wire. "Hand grenades were used, the Russians finally carrying the positions at the point of the bayonet. The Germans retreated toward Osterode, leaving behind many guns, machine guns, calisons and prisoners. "Meanwhile the Vilna army is driving the First German army corps toward Danzig. The question now is whether the German forces can escape and how long the Russians will take in occupying the territory east of the River Vistula. There they will find strong German defenses." ADMIRAL KAMIMURA Admiral Kamimura of the Japanese navy, whose fleet may soon be engaged in battle with Germany's far eastern naval forces. Gives Physical Tests. Youngstown, O.-Physical examination of all employees of United States Steel corporation mills in this city has just been started. The purpose of the examination is to secure a record of the physical condition of employees to assist in preventing the spread of disease and needless accidents. Special efforts will be made to detect men suffering from defective eyesight and hearing. Every effort will be made by the corporation to care for present employees found some what physically deficient. IN UNION UNION EXISTENCE DESTROY GERMAN WIRELESS STATION JAPS CUT OFF KAISER'S ISLAND POSSESSIONS IN PACIFIC WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD. News is Brought to Manila by North German Lloyd Steamer Which Had Been Badly Damaged After an Encounter With Japanese Cruiser. Manila, P. I—Japan has bombarded and destroyed the German castle and wireless station on the Island of Yap, thus cutting off from communication with the outside world practically all of Germany's island possessions in the Pacific. This was brought to Manila by the North German Lloyd steamer Princess Alice, which previously limped into the port of Zamboanga in a badly battered condition after an encounter with a Japanese cruiser. The officers of the Princess Alice were unable to state whether or not Japan had taken possession of the Island of Yap. The Princess Alice left Manila 10 days ago ostensibly for Mediterranean ports. According to her captain efforts were made to get into communication with the wireless station at Yap shortly after the vessel left port, but without success. It was then decided to visit the island to learn why wireless communication was interrupted. On the arrival of the Princess Alice it was found that the station had been demolished and the cable connection destroyed. The vessel then set her course westward and shortly afterward encountered the cruiser, which opened fire as soon as the identity of the Princess Alice was discovered. Several shots at long range took effect, one ripping a hole in the side of the vessel near the waterline, which threatened her safety until a cement bulkhead was thrown up about it. Yap is a small island lying to the southwest of Guam and is the principal station of the German wireless system in the Ladrone and Caroline groups. MESSAGE TO AMERICANS PREMIER OF JAPAN GIVES A PLEDGE TO THE PEOPLE OF UNITED STATES. New York City—The Independent will print in its forthcoming issue the following cabled message from Count Okuma, premier of Japan: "I gladly seize the opportunity to send through the medium of the Independent a message to the people of the United States, and to the loyal friends of Japan. It is my desire to convince your people of the sincerity of my government and of my people in all their utterances and assurances connected to the present regreatible situation in Europe and the far east. Every sense of loyalty and honor obliges Japan to cooperate with Great Britain to clear from these waters the enemies who in the past, the present and the future menace her interests, trade, her shipping and her people's lives. "This far eastern situation is not of our seeking. It was ever my desire to maintain peace, as will be amply proved; as we have been so proud of Japan I have consistently so endeavored. "I have read with admiration the lofty message of President Wilson to his people on the subject of neutrality. We of Japan have been so proud that prompted the head of your great nation, and we feel confident that his message will meet with a national response. As premier of Japan, I have stated and explained that Japan is an island and of the world that Japan has no uterior motive, no desire to secure more territory, no thought of depriving China or other peoples of anything which they now possess. "My government and my people have given their word and their pledge, which has been kept as long as Japan keeps promises. AUSTRIA TO FIGHT JAPAN DECLARES WAR AND MIKADO'S AMBASSADOR IS HANDED Vienna. Austria—Austria-Hungary Tuesday declared war on Japan. The formal declaration was served on the Japanese ambassador and he was handed his passports and will leave for Rome as soon as possible. The declaration of war was decided on at a council of the ministry at which the action of Japan in declaring was on Germany was discussed. Under the terms of the treaty alliances with Germany it was agreed there was nothing for Austria to do but formally to declare war, inasmuch as in this instance Japan was the aggressor and had raised the issue. Kaiser Names Belgian Ruler. Amsterdam, Holland—Kaiser Wilhelm has established a military government in Belgium. Official advises from Berlin state that Field Marshal Von Der Goltz has been appointed military governor of the nation now dominated by German troops. Man Falls to Death. Akron, O.—Police are endeavoring to identify the well dressed middle aged man who fell 150 feet over a cliff to death in the Cuyahoga Falls glens late at night. They are also endeavoring to find a well dressed woman who was with him when he took the fatal plunge. At 9:30 Tuesday night Charles Brown, who was fishing on the bank of the river, Cuyahoga Falls, heard a woman's scream followed almost instantly by the thud of a body. He ran to the spot and found a man dead. One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914 MESSRS. HARDING AND WILLIS GOOD INTENTIONS. Among the twenty-eight names suggested, last week, by Candidates Harding and Willis for members of the State Republican Executive Committee of eighty-eight members, was that of the editor of The Gazette. This was done without his knowledge. The State Central Committee, it seems, objected to the action of Messrs. Harding and Willis and left the matter in the hands of the district members of the committee. Harry L. Davis, the defeated candidate for mayor of this city, a year ago, and who aspires to become the party nominee, next year is the member of the State Centra Committee from this, the twenty-first district. Mr. Davis, it seems, preferred another, the very man our pele objected to as his political representative among us, last year. If he can stand it, we certainly can, and furthermore, will endeavor to show him again, and aggressively, too, next year, what we did only in a passive way, last year, that "chickens are bound to come home to roost" at the proper time. Messrs. Harding and Willis, however, have our thanks for their evidence of good will, even though we did not ask, seek or ever care for the "honor". THE SENATORSHIP AND THE GOV ERNORSHIP. As everybody knows, Warren G. Harding—the successor to Hon. Theodore E. Burton, in the Senate of the United States—is the editor of the Marion Star. But he has an assistant, and it was undoubtedly the gentleman who wrote the following excellent editorial—and it is also safe to say that he slipped it in the Star in the absence and without the knowledge of his chief: "The Star hardly need say that it is highly pleased with the outcome of the Republican contest for United States Senator. We are glad to have this honor come to Marion, and we speak with full knowledge when we say that Mr. Harding considers the honor all the greater to have outrun the distinguished Cincinnati, who stands in high emphasis among the great statesmen of his time. No one can dispute the commanding ability of Senator Foraker, and no Republi can dispute the honor so many everlastingly ardent and enoughest friends. Mr. Harding's campaign was not one of opposition and criticism; it was free from all misrepresentation, and above all political and personal attack. He uttered nothing for which he has to apologize as the nominee of his party, and will enter his campaign with the freedom that becomes a candidate for a great office. The Republican race was to admit the thousands of admirers of Senator Foraker and to voice that he has received so high a testimonial of the regard of Ohio Republicans, and Mr. Cole, the third contender, may take pride in the fine showing he made. It gives proof of his strength in his party, and shows a popularity that must be reckoned with. The Democratic contest was less close, but none the less spirted. Attorney General Hogan is to be accredited with a notable victory. He made the contest with no less strenuous a campaign than John J. Lentz, and with no less strenuous a campaign than John L. Zimmerman, and his victory is highly creditable. This paper will not discuss the strength of candidates. Within the parties the nominations speak for themselves. In the elections the lines will be drawn by parties, and the senatorial fight will be one of policies and principles. We know that the Marion nominee hopes to be the candidate of an united party, and the senatorial fights of 1912, and move as one great political party to a return to the control of Congress and restore Ohio as a great Republican State." It is probably not a bad guess that Mr. Harding himself wrote the subjoined editorial, which appeared in the Marion Star on the same day as the article above quoted: "TheRepublicans of Ohio have a strong nominee for Governor in Frank B. Willis. He is today one of the best known men in the State, and stands proven in his popularity by the splendid race he made for the nomination. It was no easy task to outran David C. Koehler, who was the nominee, name, has a creditable record in public service, backed by a notable success in his business career, and possesses a most attractive personality. He was strongly supported in the large cities, yet Willis' strength in the urban centers supplemented by his runaway plurality in the rural counties has given to the Ada Congressman a splendid victory. Frank B. Willis will prove himself as strong a nominee as he was strong as a candidate for nomination. He has a strong friend everywhere, he has a strong mentality, he possesses unquestioned THE WORLD'S FIRST BLACK WOMAN Something of His Splendid Work Among Our People in the Southland— Arch Deacon of Tennessee—Future Bright. The subject of this sketch, Rev. E. Thomas Demby, A. M., B. D. S. T., of Memphis, Tenn., has spent seven days, last and this week, in the city, accompanied by his splendid wife, former Miss Nettie Ricks, a native of Cleveland and years so one of our five young ladies. Dr Demby is one of the few Colored arch-deacons in the American church. He has done and is doing a wonderful work among our people in the Southland; so much so that a few years ago, when the question of Colored-American bishops was seriously considered, he was named as the Colored priest in every way prepared for bishop of our people in the South. Arch-deacom Demby has nine organized churches, four unorganized, and three mission-points in his arch-deaconary. He has three priests, two deacons, and industrial school with several teachers; has six priests, one deacon, four catechists, with several hundred communicants, and more than 400 Sunday-school children. This winter, he hopes integrity and honor, he is experienced in State and Federal politics, and is eminently fitted in every way to restore government to the people of Ohio and make them an excellent executive. Willis is particularly fitted to govern the state and conspicuous service in the General Assembly during two terms, and he has proven himself a power in Congress. He is progressive in the best sense, he is conscious to the highest degree—he is absolutely honest and is strong and virile. We shall be the campaign his way to a notable victory." Having served in the Ohio Legislature, in 1900, with both Messrs. Harding and Willis, and also Mr. Cole, the editor of the Gazette takes pleasure in endorsing fully the foregoing, relative to them, and especially the references to our great and good friend "the noblest Roman of them all" Joseph Benson Foraker, whom we helped to elect U. S. Senator when a member of the State Assembly (for the second time) in 1896. Willis will be the next governor of Ohio and Harding will succeed U. S. S. Senator Theo. E. Burton. Of this, there is no question or doubt in the minds of sane Republicans, and thousands of others who are not members of the party, in this state, these days. A grand Republican victory, for this fall is in the air; one can feel it. A EUROPEAN TOUR By Four of Our Leading Lady-Teach ers. Two Each in Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Md.-Ex ceptionally Interesting. Written for The Gazette Our itinerary calls next for trave through the far-famed Switzerland Geneva, delightfully situated on the lake of the same name, is our gateway into this beautiful country. Several days in this delightful city acquainted us with the artistic sense that marks the Swiss people. This evidences itself particularly in their style of architecture, and in the soft, beautiful colors used in the interior decorations of their homes. Flowers, too abound everywhere, and it seems as bright as the sun. More color than anywhere in our own land, another beautiful, little place in Switzerland is Moutreux, situated at the other end of Lake Geneva. Our rooms overlooked the lake, with the mountains beyond. A little distance away stands "The Castle of Chillon," immortalized by Byron. We visited the castle and wandered through its walls, and we encountered the thirteenth century all that such a castle meant in that time. So delightful is our location here that we experience seems to be even better than the last, we trust the future, and wend our way to the next point of interest. Chamouix is a town shut in by mountains, and lying just at the foot of Mt. Blanc. This mountain is indeed the most beautiful place in the world, we make the trip to the mer de glace of geographic fame. This ride is up high mountain sides on a little cogtrain, that seems at times to fairly hug the mountains. As we climb higher and higher we can look over sheer precipices and get fine views of the Chamouix valley, one of the loveliest in the forest, so we can see the covered with the softest rugs of richest hues. The "sea of ice" is a wonderful spectacle. Words cannot tell how this glacier, making its way down the mountain sides and through the valleys between, impresses one. Its crevasses are deep and wide; its surface most dangerous to walk upon; yet some are brave enough to risk and go far out upon it. One returns from such a trip aided with the grandeur of God's work. Berne, the capital of Switzerland, next month will spend an afternoon and morning here, wandering through the winding streets of this THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914 to organize several new missions in his convocation. Rev. Demby is thoroughly interested in the uplift of all conditions of our people. He is the president of our Federated Charities of Memphis; organized the Socialological Congress of that city, the Emanuel church club, the most influential organization in Memphis for the intellectual development of our people in that city. Rev. Demby is an author of several booklets and it is said that he is the best preacher among our priests of his church. He is a high mason, and says that his excellent wife has been responsible for much of his success. In Memphis, he has built up a splendid church-work, and erected a new brick church, a nice rectory and a department for Sunday-school and social education. In Buffalo, has been called as Arch-deacon Demby's curate. Rev. and Mrs. Demby left the last of this week for Detroit and Canada after spending a most delightful time in the city with their numerous friends. quaint little town. Here we seem to get nearer to the real characteristics of the people than before. Zurich, of interest to the student of pedagogy as the birthplace of Pestalozzi, is our next stopping place. We visit the house where Pestalozzi was born. We stand before a very fine monument to his memory. An exhibit of things Pestalozzi—manuscripts, pictures of his various schools, his cradle, his chair, and other things prove very interesting. An inscription or the door of a room near our house, in tells us that Goethe had coupled it in 1775, and 1779. Zwingil, of reformation fame, is remembered through his church and a house said to have been his home. Lucerne marks the beginning of a delightful week in the most beautiful section of Switzerland. The famous "Lion of Lucerne", carved in the natural rock in memory of the Swiss guards, who tell defending the Tull series during the French revolution, is quite impressive. An entire afternoon long, acquaints us with the exquisite beauty of this section. This charming body of blue-green water, with its curving shore-fine, lying in its entire length at the base of towering mountains, some of them snow-capped, presents a lovely picture. Sometimes we find ourselves entirely shut within an arm of the lake by the mountains. This trip, on Lake Lucerne, is not without other points of interest than the pretty little spot on the bank of the lake is a chapel called Tell's chapel, memory of the national hero of Switzerland. Even though Tell be accounted only legendary, the people hold him in, dear remembrance. A monument of natural rock, to Schiller, the poet, who immortalized Wm. Tell, stands prominently on the bank of the lake. From a little knot, jut trees and shrubs, is a statue of the Christ in the attitude of blessing the waters of the lake and its visitors. This is most beautiful and impressive. Another excursion in the vicinity of Lucerne, is the trip to the summit of Mt. Rigl. Here one commands, on the one hand, a view of the snow-capped Alpine peaks in an unbroken chain, stretching as far as eye can reach. On the other, lie beautiful valleys with lovely lakes and villages. This is a beautiful mountain of color and scenery. Interlaken, as the name implies, is a little town set between the two very beautiful lakes of Brienz and Thun. Here is a dear little town, beloved alike by lake and mountain, for the latter hover over it and seem to shut it in from all the world without. The Jungtran, the queen of the Bernese Alps, is the centre of attraction in the region. The deed presents a charming picture, set as in a lovely frame, just where the green-clad foot-hills divide to show her to best advantage. Words can do but little justice to Switzerland's scenery, that has not been over-drawn in song and story. Switzerland's beauty is God's great picture gallery; and one is lethargic, indeed, who is not quickened spiritually by a sojourn among her matchless beauties. From here our path leads into Italy, the fair jewel of the South; and from there our path directs you later from that sunny clime. Chimney Built in Sixteen Days. Chimney Built in Sixteen Days. A firm in St. Louis built last winter a chimney 85 feet high and three feet inside diameter in seven days' working time. It was actually in service, according to the Engineering News, sixteen days after receipt of the order to begin work. It was built of reinforced tile concrete on a reinforced concrete foundation. At no time during the building was the morning temperature higher than 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The materials were heated before mixing and placing, and fires were kept in the chimney constantly.

Smith, My dear sir and friend: I have been watching in The Gazette your progress in running for the Legislature with the keenest interest. I was proud when reading of you. So proud and true hope that you will be successful. If ever a race needed a friend and brother to fight our cause, it is our race. When we look around and see how our race is fast being driven farther and farther away from the front, there seems no show whatever. One who is brave enough to offer himself as a living sacrifice (so to speak) for our race is surely to be praised. Therefore every good wish for a successful political run, is the wish of our whole family. I am Very sincerely yours, Pearl A. Dennie. THE POLITICAL LEAGUE ISSUES CALLS. Hillburn, N. Y.—President Byron Gunner of the National Independent Political League has issued the official call for the seventh annual meeting of this organization, which will be held in New York City at Bethel A. M. E. church, Sept. 7, 8, and 9th. The object and purpose of this League is set forth in the following paragraph: The determined purpose of the League is to lead in leading our Negro-American population out of political bondage, to wage perpetual and eternal war against any and all kinds of segregation based on race or color, and to restore the federal franchise to our oppressed brethren in the southern states." President Gunner also calls on our clergy and churches to observe Sunday, Sept. 6, as "equal citizenship rights day", offering up fervent prayers for this cause and for relief and appealing to congregations to realize the need of resisting the encroachments of segregation, the injury of disfranchisement, the horror of lynching. CURRAN'S WIT SAVED HIDE Eminent Irishman Probably Never Used His Tongue to Better Advantage to Himself. During a trial in Tipperary, Curran made a scathing attack on a land agent. Two days later an enraged gentleman burst into his bedroom in Dublin, before the counselor was out of bed; and, flourishing a horse-whip savagely, said: "Sir, I'm the gentleman you insulted in the court-house in Clonmel in the presence of the whole county, and I'm here to thrasher you soundly." "What!" exclaimed Curran, indignantly. "You call yourself a gentleman, and yet you mean to strike a man when he lies down." "No, bedad," protested the agent, scoring to take a mean advantage of his enemy, and slitting down. "I'll just wait till you get out of bed, an then I'll give it to you hot and heavy." "Troth, if that's the way of it," said Curran, "I'll lie here till you change your mind." And he turned over on his other side. The agent laughed and the counselor laughed, and he who came to the table joined the pair parted the best of friends. DOINGS OF THE RACE In the Bureau of Soils in the agrit cultural department at Washington, D. C., the doors of a toilet-room is placarded "For Colored Employees." Mrs. Melissa Washington, an Afro-American woman, on the farm ranch of James Thomas of Hugo,Ok, is 134 years old. She was born in 1780 in Africa. A grandson died two years ago, aged 85, and with her now are a great granddaughter, aged 45, and a great-great-granddaughter aged 32. Undoubtedly, Mrs. Washington is the oldest person in the country. She is a federation at its recent session contributed a check for $50, "to be used in making the Frederick Douglass Home at Washington D. C. secure." It is with sincere regret that we have to note the defeat of so noble a man as Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker for U. S. Senate and we share the same regret that our tried and true race defender, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of that fearless race organ—The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette lost, for the legislature, Mr. Theo B. Green may be a good man, and we do not know that he is Ohio's bravest and best man, we know, for that place, for he truckies and cringes on no lines of defense for the rights of his people—the kind of men the race is crying and dying for—Martinsburg (W.

SURPRISED THE SMALL BOY Woman's Knowledge Seemed Amazing to the Juvenile Distributor of the Book Although he was only a tiny chap of not more than ten or eleven, he already felt the necessity of helping the family earning capacity, and was cheerfully doing his small share by delivering flowers for a florist. The Woman Who Understood chance to sit next to him in a crowded street car on an early Saturday evening when the air was crisp and frosty, and a blustering wind was playing havoc with women's skirts and hats. He wiggled his small body close to the end of the bench to make room for her, taking care meanwhile not to crush his precious burden, and looked up with an ingraciating little smile. Across his arm he carried a bunch of gorgeous chrysanthemums, nearly as big as himself, and in the other hand was a square purple box, evidently containing violets. In spite of the rakish tilt of his ragged cap, the grimy aspect of his sleeve ends, which betokened many an impromptu face cleaning, and the grubbiness of his little hands, you could not help noticing that his cheeks had still an adorable baby curve. So the Woman Who Understands smiled down upon him and asked him the names of the flowers he was carrying. He didn't know. All he knew were dandelions, daisies, buttercups and clover. He picked them in Central park, he confided, when the trees began to get green. But these pretty flowers with the "fancy" names were a mystery to him. The big flowers, he said, were called "mums." He knew that because he had heard the "boss" say so. "Mums," repeated his companion in astonishment. "Why, no, those are chrysanthemums. Don't you think that's so much prettier?" He stumbled over the name, but repeated it again and again, evidently impressed with the grandeur of the title. "And what are in the box, do you know? I can almost guess, without having even seen them." "Dey's purple, lady," he informed her. "I seen 'em go in. And they smells sweet." "Of course they're purple. They're violets—sweet violets." "Villets," he repeated wonderingly, "I read a story onecet about violets, but didn't think dey looked." Then he looked impressively. "Gee, lady," he burst out, "don't you know an awmul lot!"—New York Press. J. W. WILLS & CO. The Leading Funeral Directors Chapel In Connection.

The attendance at St. Andrews' Episcopal church, last Sunday, was unusual, undoubtedly occasioned by the presence of the distinguished visitor, Rev. E. Thomas Demby. All were greatly pleased and benefitted by Father Demby's sermon and showed interest in meeting him and his excellent wife after the service.

Gardner, former Cleveland Heights policeman, was tried and the case dismissed, Friday afternoon, on charges of assaulting Mrs. Lottie Johnson, a domestic and a member of the race, 2692 Berkshire road, in the cell room of Cleveland Heights police station. Gardner was dismissed from the police department by Mayor Cain, following an investigation of Mrs. Johnson, 2692 Berkshire road, in the day, was still carrying a badly discolored eye, the result, she says, of one of Gardner's blows. Mr. Henry Johnson, the woman's husband, Friday, planned to file suit for $5,000 damages against Cleveland Heights village for the alleged false arrest of his wife and the beating he says she received in the police station. On the night of Aug. 13, Mrs. Johnson says she boarded a Euclid Heights car and was taken to the police station, took her to the end of the line on and the return trip she was again carried beyond Berkshire road. She boarded another car and when Berkshire road was reached, telling the conductor it was not her fault she had missed her stop. The conductor carried her to the Cleveland Heights police station and called a policeman. In the police station, Mrs. Johnson says, she refused to give her name. She was sent to a charges, Gardner again demanded her name. "First he choked and then he struck me in the eye," Mrs. Johnson said, Friday.

Wilson's Peace Policy About Only Proposition That Is Not Attacked. Columbus, O.—Ostratorical bombardment featured the first political conventions held in Columbus Tuesday under the new primary election law. President Wilson's peace policy was about the only proposition that did not come in for attack. The Democrats took no stand on either the liquor or the suffrage question. The Progressives declared in favor of both. The Republicans refused to take a stand for or against state-wide prohibition and made no reference to woman suffrage. Democrats Act With Swiftness. The Democrats were the first to finish. Their program went through with a whirl. They adjoined at 2:30. Their platform was adopted immediately after E. H. Moore, chairman of the committee on resolutions, read it. It endorses the administration of President Wilson, his peace treaties, the record of United States Senator Atlee Pomerene, the administration of Gov. Cox and the state officials, the work of the state legislature and the entire legislative program of the last assembly, declaring this program to be the Democratic interpretation of the will of the people. Declares the governor and legislature redeemed every party pledge. It pledges Democracy to send another Democratic senator to Washington from Ohio and pledges that the next assembly shall hold the brieferest possible session. It urges the passage of a national workmen's compensation act. It ignores both suffrage and liquor. Progressives Adopt PR Progressives Adopt Platform. "No surrender or compromise" was the slogan of the address of John L. Sullivan, chairman of the Progressive state convention. He declared that the Progressives had nothing more in common with the Democratic party than with the Republicans. He said that when the Republicans were in power they robbed the state right and left through illegal use of public funds, and he gave the Democrats a shot, charging them with unwarranted expenditures and machine building. The platform of the Progressive party charges both old parties with complete subservience to the brewers, enors suffrage, demands protective tariff and a tariff commission, and also pledges the party to the following: County home rule in taxation and an equitable adjustment of taxes on mortgaged real estate to avoid double taxation, an exemption of $500 of personal property for each person, to non-partisan municipal and county elections, to maintenance and simplification of primary and election laws, to the abolition of party nominations for judicial offices, the merit system in the public service, the construction and maintenance of main market roads, inter-county highways, county and township roads, the right of counties to adopt the commission form of government, the speedy completion of the Ohio river improvement project. Attorney Gox administration. Congressman S. D. Fess, chairman of the Republican state convention, praised Wilson for keeping the United States out of war, but he attacked the Gox administration and the Underwood tariff. He said that southern influences forced the law upon the country: "Ohio's 19 Democratic congressmen sit around sneezing while southerners take sniff," said Fess. He said that the new tariff was causing hard times. He quoted figures to show that most of the Bull Moosers had returned to the Republican party. He said that the Moosers were a Democratic aid society. Refusing to take a stand either for or against state-wide prohibition, the Republican state platform convention adopted a platform denouncing the Warnes tax law, the gross extravagance of the Democratic administration and Gov. Cox's usurpation of legislative functions, and declared for a return to a protective tariff and the upbuilding of the American merchant marine. No reference was made to woman suffrage. The platform favors an increase in compensation to injured workmen under the new workman's compensation act, indoles an eight hour day for labor "where feasible" and favors furtherance of the good roads project. Orders Absent Solons to Duty. Washington, D. C. — The house adopted a drastic resolution, introduced by Majority Leader Underwood, ordering absent members back to their duties and "docking" them for every day they are away except for sickness. The vote on the resolution was 215 for, 27 against and 8 absent. The fact that the war is spreading and the danger that the United States may be drawn into it is daily becoming more serious is understood to be back of the insistence of the leaders that full attendance be maintained. Writes of His Accept. Youngstown, O.-A letter just received here by G. V. Hamory from Colonel Stephen Fridrich, officer of the Austro-Hungarian army, recently in this section in the interest of wider, Hungarian suffrage, says that he is under arrest in Europe. The officer writes that he was apprehended at Havre, France, while enroute to Hungary and was being taken to Spain. The letter was posted in New York by an American woman into whose honegge it was placed in France. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Since the Southern Baptist convention adjourned, the joint committees of the Southern Baptist convention and the National Baptist convention have held two meetings, both at Memphis, Teen. Of these meetings, Dr. T. J. Searcy, of the Metropolitan Baptist church, and representing the committee of the National Baptist convention, has been the chairman; and Dr. O. L. Halley of Corsica, Tex., representing the Southern Baptist convention, has been secretary. Our last session was held on July 8. There were present from the Southern Baptist convention committee; Dr. E. Y. Mullins, Dr. O. L. Halley, Dr. B. F. Hiley, Dr. Box Cox and Hon W. E. Akinson. From the National Baptist convention there were present of their committee; Dr. T. J. Searcy, the chairman; Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the convention; Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, the corresponding secretary of their educational board; Dr. J. H. Henderson and Dr. J. D. Grenshaw. Wm Haynes held proxy for Dr. E. J. Fish, er. E. C. Morris for Booker T. Washington and S. E. Griggs for J. W Bailey. So we had a good representation from both conventions. Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans and Little Rock were represented in applications, for the location of the negro theological seminary. New Orleans was not directly asking for it but honored brethren who are interested presented a request that we consider it. Little Rock would have made a more definite offer, perhaps, if other cities had not been specially named. Louisville and Birmingham had no specific propositions. Both Nashville and Memphis made good offers, and through their representatives indicated their several advantages. Dr. Rufus W Weaver came to speak for Nashville and Dr. T. O. Fuller for Memphis. Other brethren freely discussed the two places and their several strong features. The committee sought carefully to give each place proper consideration. But we unanimously decided in favor of Memphis, Tennessee. They had made an offer which was in matter of financial inducements, the equal of Nashville. The principle upon which we decided to locate the seminary, "Where it could do the greatest good to the largest number," led the committee to decide in favor of Memphis. Then the committee from the Southern Baptist convention, to whom was committed the whole question of raising the $50,000 for the seminary, decided to ask Dr. B. F. Riley of Birmingham, Ala. to do that. And he has agreed to undertake the matter. We authorize him to fix the amount at $60,000 so as to cover the whole expense of raising the money, and provide for any failure on the part of subscribers. Dr Riley will acquaint the denomination with his plans. And we earnestly bespeak the most cordial reception and hearty co-operation in the undertaking. E. Y. MULLINS, Chairman. For the Southern Baptist convention committee. Old rules still obtain in the British navy, among them that which orbids the health of the king to be drunk aboard ship while standing up. They always drink the health of the king sitting in the British navy and are very proud of the difference between them and their comrades of the land service. Throughout their course at Hampton institute, negro and Indian girls are taught the elements of arithmetic, English, agriculture, history, as well as scientific housekeeping, physiology, cooking and sewing, and the principles of teaching. Almost eight thousand young men and women, including 1,200 Indians, have already gone from Hampton institute into the South and West, equipped in body, mind and heart to help their races get land, build better homes, schools and churches, and improve social and economic conditions. Many of the Hampton students have literally reconstructed in many places the existing community life and have brought prosperity to men and women by helping them increase their earning power, and showing them how to use to the best advantage the resources at their doors. For 45 years under the efficient leadership of Gen. Sampel C. Armstrong and Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, Hampton institute has been training boys and girls for safe and safe leadership in business, in home-making, in improving church, home and school life throughout the South and West. A shipbuilding slip is maintained in connection with the high school in San Pedro, Cal., where, under the practical instruction of a nautical architect, the students learn how to build a boat, make and place the engine and launch and run the craft.

It has been estimated that an average puff of smoke from a cigarette contains some 4,000 millions of particles of dust. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1914. "The ballot is placed in the hands of an American citizen for the protection of his rights, and the negro as a citizen must contend for everything that is given him, but he will find that he has many friends," were the words of Prof. William Pickens, in addressing the national convention of Congregational church workers at Washington. The convention opened with song and prayer service and a short talk by President A. Lawless, Jr., of New Orleans. A short business session was held, in which the amended constitution and by-laws were adopted. Rev. H. H. Dunn of New Orleans, La., followed with a discussion on "Superintendency." He called attention to the growin' work in the southern states, and declared that it was necessary to have a competent and well-prepared man to superintend it. Judge Robert Terrell addressed the convention and called attention to the necessity of the negro turning attention to his own interest in this country. At the close of his address Rev. Dr. Garner of Plymouth Congregational church introduced a resolution, which passed, appointing a committee consisting of Revs. De Berry of Springfield, Mass.; H. H. Proctor of Atlanta, Ga.; and Eugene Lawrence of Chicago; to draft a memorial to the senate asking for the confirmation of Judge Terrell. Revs. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension society of the A. M. E. church, and I. N. Ross, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Washington, made short addresses, as did Prof. T. S. Inborden, Brick Normal and Industrial college, Enfield, N. C.; Zeph T. P. Moore, Washington; J. C. Napier, Nashville, Teen; F. F. Sims, Beaufort, N. C.; A. C. Garner, Washington; George W. Moore, Nashville, Tenn.; Harold M. Kingsley, secretary college extension department, Austin, Tex. It was decided to hold biennial sessions in the future. Liberia, its aims and prospects were toasted at a banquet given at New York in honor of Hen. John Lewis Morris, secretary of the treasury for Liberia. The function was arranged by a committee of prominent colored citizens, headed by Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, and was given in St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church. The affair was largely attended. Dr. Pooker T. Washington, who has shown a deep interest in the welfare of the Little West African republic, was unable to be present and sent a letter of regret. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Wall street district, was toastmaster. Among those who responded to toasts were Fred R. Mcroe, editor of the New York Age and former American minister to Liberia; Dr Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, the Liberian consul general to the United States; Dr John H. Reed, principal of the Caroline Donovan institute, Liberia, and Rev. Dr. Brooks. Secretary Morris, in responding to the many good things said about his country, praised the colored people for the progress they are making and declared that he was grateful for the way in which he had been received here. Large deposits of radium ore have been discovered in the Perghana district of Russian Turkestan. Three hundred men and women attended the eighth annual session of the Grand Lodge of Modern Wood Chopers, at Houston, Tex. "If the negro would climb, or mount to anything, he must help himself," declared the sovereign commander, Prof. W. E. Johnson of Bonham, "and he must not expect others to do for him what he should do for himself. We are opposed to idlers, grumblers, fault-finders, but we are holding up the men who are willing to do something and who will do something; all others must get out of the way. "We have here today men and women who are not ashamed to work. Men and women who stand for Christian manhood and womanhood, and those who believe in the possibilities of the South. We are willing that we should go to the farm if we can only find protection of life and property there, and good school's for the education of our children. We are no longer willing to permit our children to grow up in ignorance." Of the seventeen serious accidents to submarines in the last ten years 11 have occurred to British vessels. The meteorological service of Russia finds itself in the position, rare in the experience of European scientific institutions, of having ample funds for its present needs and future development, thanks to a liberal increase in its budget recently authorized by the government.

The Grand Forks Ball club stands to realize a bit of cash by the sale of players this season, with Catcher Peters and Outfielder Altman as likely men for market. The Keokuk club has given Manager Spencer Abbott his release. Economy was given as the reason, but the reports are that Abbott could not get along with his players. Pitcher "Lefty" James, erstwhile Nap, and now with the Cleveland American Association team, has admitted he is flirting with the Federal league. A four-season contract has been offered the southpaw, he said. The Evansville club has signed Southpaw Pitcher Carl Schultz, former left-handed pitcher for Indiana university, who recently was released by the Indianapolis American Association club. "Dolly" Stark's injury gave Jack Clothier a chance to break into the game for Memphis, and he certainly has taken advantage of it and has covered the shortstop position in fine style. Jack Keliher, the former Brookline High boy, who was given a trial by the St. Louis Cardinals, is playing shortstop for Indianapolis. His work in the field has been good, but at the bat he is weak. --- First Baseman Steve Brewer has decided to finish the season with an independent team, at Mason City, Ia. Steve played some very fair ball for Grand Rapids, but his hitting was not quite strong enough for a first baseman. President Lennon of St. Paul has taken the bull by the horns and has cut his team to 14 men. But five pitchers are started on the club, four infielders, three outfielders and two catchers. That's enough for even a major league club. Pitcher Dave Roth, who was drafted from Jack Dunn's Orloles last year by the Chicago American league club and whose salary whip went back on him, is trying to stage a come-back on present with the Birmingham team. The Hartford club has signed Pitcher D. H. Henry, the Brown star, who kept the Providence college on the baseball map the past spring, and the man who twirled such a great game against the crack Yale college team on Yale Field this past season. Jack Pappalau, veteran pitcher of many leagues, has been released by Albany. It is conceded that Pappalau has about finished his baseball career, having served 16 years. He played under Connie Mack in Milwaukee. CAREER OF PITCHER KEATING M Ray Keating, one of Manager Chance's most dependable twirlers, was born at Bridgeport, Conn., on July 21, 1891. His baseball career began with the St. Charles school team, after which he pitched with the Factory league in Bridgeport, his work earning him a trial with the Bridgeport club of the then Connecticut league in 1910. He was not used regularly and he asked for and obtained his release. He then attended Niagara college for a season and pitched for that team. In the middle of 1911 he was taken up by the Lawrence club of the New England league, but he was farmed to the Hamilton club of the Canadian league before the season was far gone. He proved a star for Hamilton and Lawrence took him back for 1912 at a greatly advanced salary. His work earned Lawrence the pennant and President Farrell of the New York club purchased him in September. Eusebia Gonzzies, is the name attached to the good-looking Cuban on the Troy team. John Vowinkie, former major league pitcher, is now in the drug business at Oswego, N. Y. Larry Lejeune, who was once with the White Sox and later on the Brooklyn Dodgers, keeps on hitting the ball at a .400 clip. Frank O'Rourke, who was with the Boston Braves a couple of years ago, coming from Bridgeport, is fairly setting the world afire at Wilkesbarre. Bill Pergen, the veteran Scranton catcher, says there isn't a pitcher in the New York State league who compares with Ritter of the Scranton Miners. It is said of Umpire Cleary of President Farrell's staff, that he has removed but one player from the game for insubordination in two years. Cleary's games are all smooth affairs. A report that Charley Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox had purchased the controlling interest in the Buffalo International league club, is vigorously denied by President Jacob J. Stein. SPORTING WORLD Pigeon flying is a popular pastime in Great Britain. Denver hopes to secure the 1916 Far West Amateur Athletic Union meet. Koji Yamada, the Japanese cue expert, is performing in a sensational manner in Berlin. Miss Nell Kenny, an Australian swimmer, is in training at Brighton, Eng., for the swim across the English channel. Jim Corbett says Carpentier is not to be taken lightly, on which dope we deduct 120 pounds from our estimate of the Frenchman. Pat Dwyer, center on the 1906 and 1907 football teams at Penn, has beep selected as trainer of the red and blue eleven for next fall. Willie Hoppe has agreed to use 2½-inch balls in the English billiard games he is to play with Melbourne Inman, the British champion. Sapper O'Neill, the English fighter who made a good impression on the fight fans in New York, is now in Australia displaying his wares. Willie Ritchie will be the moving picture champion, if nothing else. He plans to re-establish himself by showing pictures of his fight with Welsh. Eddie McGoorty, the American middleweight, who is now in Australia, is reported to have accepted an offer to fight Georges Carpentier in London for a $10,000 purse. Eleven members of a Philadelphia cricket club have gone to England for some matches. Which same thrills us very much and makes us wonder what we'd say if England sent a ball team over here. Abel Kiviat, the Irish-American A. C. of New York runner, will try for the one-mile record this year. China recently held its first track and field meet at Sochow university, and the meet was won by St. John's of Shanghai. At the Olympic games held at Stockholm in 1912 the quick recording of the camera was used as an official guide with great success in determining doubtful finishes in the various track contests. --- DAINTY GOWNS AT TROUVILLE Glance at the Splendidly Attired Groups Gives One Perfect Idea of What is to Be "the Thing" During the Coming Season—New Ultra-Long Coats. TROUVILLE—The seaside gayettes have commenced. With the opening of the flower-decked villas and giant hotels of Trouville the play season may be said to be in full sway. So far as really smart resorts are concerned Trouville takes the lead, from every point of view. The season in this exotic spot is exceptionally short. It only lasts a bare three weeks. But during that time the fun and excitement is considerable. Baritz is much more fortunate—from the hotelkeepers' viewpoint—for the season in the lovely queen of the bay of Biscay lasts two full months, nearly three. But at Trouville all the world arrives the first week in August and before the last week of that month is out, tout le monde has disappeared. The summer season in Paris was so uncertain, so far as weather was concerned, that every one has predicted splendid sunshine for August and September. And so far it seems as though the prophets had seen clearly into the future, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. At the moment the weather is superb and the seafront at Trouville is crowded with well-known society people. Costume of White Linen. This morning, in the Rue de Paris, I saw the Duchess of Brissac and Princess d'Aremberg talking to a group of friends. The duchess was wearing a lovely suit composed of pure white linen and heavy gurpure lace. The skirt was rather short and tight and the coat was one of the new long models which define the curves of the figure. This coat was fastened with mother-of-pearl buttons rimmed with filigree silver, and the hat which accompanied the costume was one of the pictureque, shady shapes which the duchess has made so popular. This hat was in Tuscan straw and trimmed with two large water lilies and a length of black velvet ribbon. Princess d'Arremberg was gowned in white Indian muslin. It was a simple costume, but very fine hand embroideries appeared on the corsage and also on the hem of the long tunic. There was a soft slash of lemon-yellow tussah, and the princess wore a wide-brimmed sailor hat made of black stain straw and trimmed with white wings. Another lady in the group—1 do not know her name—wore an exceedingly smart tailored suit in dull rose linen. The short skirt was plaited from the hips down, and there was a very long, loose coat finished with a directoire collar. White Tulie and Lace. This coat opened over a dainty blouse composed of white tulle and valenciennes lace, and the hat was a white taffeta "canotier" shape, simply trimmed with a band of black velvet ribbon passed round the low crown and tied in a loose bow at the left side. The Duchess de Brissac carried in her hand one of the new long canes made of ebony. Just near the amber handle there was a bow of black velvet ribbon. A splendid model I saw a few days ago was created by Laferriere. The material was pastel-pink linen and there was a beautiful braiding pattern on the upper part of the coat and on the cuffs. It was finished off with a broad sash made of midnight-blue chiffon velvet and the coat opened over a dainty blouse made of palest pink tulle. The large picture hat was a Leghorn shape and it was trimmed with bows of velvet similar to that in the sash. This is but one of many new models. Another coat which is in great favor at Trouville is fashioned like a very long riding coat of modern cut. The upper part molds the figure but the skirt is shaped so as to give considerable width at the hem. These coats are made in linen and also in the new Shantung silk, which is firm in texture and which is produced in the most lovely pastel tints. Oyster-White Shantung. Oyster-white Shantung is very much used for Trouville and Blaritz tallored suits, and for the same purpose there are fine silk-finished linens decorated with hand embroideries. Some of these linens are white with the embroideries worked in artistic colors, others are pale yellow or pink embroidered in self colors. Fine braidings are again introduced on linen and Shantung dresses. The designs used for these braidings are very novel and intricate and on a few of the more costly models, intended for afternoon wear, I have seen small porcelain beads introduced in the interstices. These long canes are all the fashion just now. They are almost always dec Question of Shields. A combination of net under bodice brassiere and shield will be found a great convenience in hot weather. These in plain styles are quite inexpensive and will wash. They come, however, trimmed with lace, if so desired. Since shields, if worn at all, must be separate from the outside blouse on account of the kimono sleeve, these combination garments fill a want. Lace or mainsock camisoles come with tiny puffs or flare sleeves no orated with full bows of velvet ribbon and some of our Parisian elegantes add a cluster of roses or carapions. With costumes of directoire outline, long canes give excellent effects. Of course they are not very useful on sunny days, but one cannot pay attention to that side of the question. Long Coats to Be Worn. The new, ultra-long, coats have been launched at Trouville. These picturesque garments will be very much in evidence this fall and in the early winter months. Everything points to this. We have been led up to these coats by way of the three-quarter length tunics which were so much worn all the summer. Little by little our eyes have grown accustomed to this outline, and now one of the most famous dressmakers in Paris has launched a coat which is so long that it might almost come under the heading "Redingote." I have sketched one of these new coats. It is almost tight fitting and clearly defines the outlines of hips and waist. It is not of the hour-glass order because tight corsets have not yet returned to favor, but it really looks as though we were drifting in that direction. I sincerely hope that this is not the case, but many of the very new styles seem to demand a smaller waist than that which is now considered correct. However we shall see. Two new Carlier models have appeared. Both of these hats were created for a well-known society woman who always spends the month of August at Trouville. The wide-brimmed canotter shape is specially attractive. One of those hats which never fail to make a pretty woman look her very prettiest. New Millinery Trimming. One model was covered with fine white linen and trimmed with a strange flower made of black velvet and lined with the same linen that covered the hat. These curious black velvet flowers are quite the rage of the summer season. They are made in various shapes, and though they are called "flowers." A The Trouville novelty is the long coat of pastel colored linen with a chiffon-velvet sash. they do not resemble any known kind of plant. This mixture of white linen and black velvet is one of the most popular novelties of the year. We find it exploited in a dozen different ways. White linen parasols bordered with black chiffon velvet; white linen coatings with collars and reverses of the same somber material, and hats such as just described. It is a very Parisian idea, and one which requires to be arranged by a master hand. I noticed one of the curious little toques which have no crown, which are, in reality, nothing more than a wide band of velvet and flowers which circles the head and hair. This particular model was carried out in black velvet and velvet chematis blossoms, the flowers being of gigantic size and quite flat. These big blossoms were arranged all round the wide band, which formed the crownless toque, and the hair was plainly visible on the top. When this idea was first introduced, a thin cap of tulle covered the top of the head, but in many of the new models this cap is done away with entirely, and the hair is left uncovered. Cretonne Chair Covers. The linen coverings for chairs, plain or with the old-time prison stripe, have been banished by cretonnes that match the summer draperies in design and color. The scheme may be too expensive to prove very popular, for there is always that which may in time tire the eye about a decided pattern. longer than to cover the upper part of the arm and shoulder. These hide the shield successfully or make it unnecessary under a sheer frock. Durable Floor Covering. A durable and satisfactory covering for verandas is the rush runner which is sold by the yard. This rush runner is one of the most durable and substantial of all grass floor coverings. It is thick and heavy especially indicative of the informal comfort of a well-furnished porch.
