IN DUTION DEMOCRATISM CALLS UPON PEOPLE TO PRAY FOR PEACE "Eternal God, our Heavenly Father, out of the depths of our souls we cry unto Thee that peace may come speedily to the peoples now engaged in unholy war, with the enemy, in violation of the laws of homes, the breaking of hearts, robbing the world of its young men, filling it with widows and orphans, intervene, O we behold, persuasive power, that wisdom, mercy and brotherly love may prevail, and we will praise and magnify Thy holy names, in the spirit of the Prince of Peace. Amen." This prayer was written by the Rev. Henry N. Couden, the blind chaplain of the house of representatives, at the request of the Chicago Examiner to be the author of a persuasive power, inaugurated by this newspaper, which culminated in President Wilson's proclamation, naming Oct. 4 as a day for peace services all over the United States. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson has just signed a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe. He set Oct. 4 as the date. The proclamation follows: "Whereas, great rations of the world have taken up arms against one another and war now draws millions of men into battle when the counsel of statesmen have not been able to save from the terrible sacrifice; and "Whereas, in this, as in all things, it is our privilege and duty to seek counsel and succor of Almighty God, embbling ourselves before Him, confessing our weakness and our lack of any wisdom equal to these things; and "Whereas, it is the especial wish and longing of the people of the United States, in prayer and counsel and all friendiness, to serve the cause of peace; "Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, do designate Sunday, Oct. 4, a day of prayer and supplication, and do request all God-fearing persons to repair on the day to their places of worship, there to unite their petitions to Almighty God, that overruling the counsel of men, setting straight the things they cannot governor or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in His mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none. He vouchsafie His children healing again and restore once more that concord among men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor true friend, ship nor any wholesome fruit of tol or thought in the world; praying also to this end that he forgive us our sins, our ignorance of His holy will, our willfulness and many errors and lead us in the paths of obedience to places of vision and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise."

London, England--Another Grimsby steam trawler, the Revigo, has been blown up by a mine which exploded under the engine room. The skippers and two engineers were injured, but with the rest of the crew escaped in the boats before the vessel sank. War Causes Idleness. Berlin, Germany—War has brought in its train widespread involuntary idleness, in spite of the millions of men withdrawn from productive employment. Factories are closing down or running short handed and the pinch of non-employment is felt everywhere among the working classes. Symptoms of it are seen in the numbers of working men appearing on the streets as newsboys, or seeking other unusual employment and in the heavy calls for assistance from the municipal and labor union funds.

President Appeals to Miners and Employers to Fix Up Differences. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson sought to end the Colorado coal strike Monday by appealing to employers and employees to adopt a "tentative basis for the adjustment of the strike," drawn up by the commission of conciliation appointed by Secretary Wilson of the labor department. The appeal was sent to the president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., the chairman of the Victor American Fuel Co., the president of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Co. and to the officers of the United Mine Workers of America. It was forwarded after the president had held several conferences with Secretary Wilson. The basis of agreement offered by the president includes the establishment of a three-year truce, subject to the enforcement of the mining and labor laws of Colorado, the return to work of miners who have not been convicted of law violations, the prohibition of intimidation of union or non-union men, the publication of current scale of wages and rules, and the appointment of a grievance committee by the employees. The agreement provides that in cases where the officers of the company or the grievance committee cannot settle difficulties, a commission of three men named by the president shall step in and act as the final reference of all disputes. Under the agreement the claim for contractual relations would be waived, no mine guards would be employed, the federal troops now on duty in the strike district would be withdrawn, picketing, parading, colonizing or mass campaigning by the miners would be stopped, and suspension of work would be prohibited pending a decision by the commission. The expense of the commission would be divided between the employers and employees. MOLINEUX HELO INSANE MAN TWICE TRIED FOR MURDER AND ACQUITTED ONCE SENT TO ASYLUM. Babylon, N. Y.-Roland B. Molineux of New York, twice tried for the murder of Mrs. Katharine L. Adams in 1898 and acquitted on the second trial, was adjudged insane by two physicians sitting as a board in lunacy and formally committed, as a violent patient, to the Kings Park asylum. Molineux was arrested after he had dashed through the streets, clad only in a bath robe and trousers, and engaged in a series of running flights with pedestrians. For several days previously he had been a patient at a sanitarium, seeking recovery from a nervous breakdown. Ninety-one Are Saved. London. England—It is learned on reliable authority that the captain and about 90 of the crew of the British cruiser Pathfinder, which was sunk by a mine in the North sea, have been saved. The destruction of the Pathfinder occurred at a point 10 miles northeast of Saint Abb's Head, Scotland. The Pathfinder was literally blown to pieces. According to an official announcement the casualties among the officers were one killed, eight missing, one seriously wounded and one slightly wounded.

Brief Account of How a Country Boy Qualified Himself For His Chosen Profession—Mastered Difficulties as a Student and Is Doing Real Constructive Work as a Business Man. Natchez, Miss. — Training, industry, thrift, politeness and energy are the factors which won Dr. H. J. Dumas a place in the hearts of the people in this part of the country. He is considered one of the most successful business men among our people in this part of the state. His success should be an inspiration to many boys who go around with their heads down declaring that their race or color operates against them. Color, hair or race never yet made a man and never will. The use of the mind, its training and the ability to master conditions are what count for something in this busy world. Henry J. Dumas was born in Houma, La., a country town, in 1875. He went to the parish school, where he got the foundation on which to build his future education. When he had finished at the parish school his parents sent him to the Houma academy, from which he graduated in the spring of 1896. He declared and there that he was going to make the world know that he lived in it, and thus far he has made good. Holding a diploma from an academy did not mean that his student days were over. He wanted a trude or profession. He taught for a year in the public school at Homma and then entered the Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., in the fall of 1888. He was among the first students in pharmacy. He had registered a declaration that he was going to lead his DR. HENRY J. DUMAS. class. "I am going to be a first class pharmacist," he said, "or none at all." He laid inside society and never sought a good time with the boys, but found pleasure, enjoyment and comfort in his studies. He did not feel that the world was standing still waiting for him, yet he felt that there was a place in the world which he could fill. In March, 1901, Dean George Hubbard handed young Dumas his diploma, showing that he had finished the course as laid down by the faculty and in keeping with the laws of the state, and he was then prepared to commence his active work. With a smile, standing with the other members of his class, he thanked the dean, and the next day packed his trunk and started for Mississippi. He heard that the state medical board was in session, and he felt that he should let the board know that he wanted to practice pharmacy. To him the examination was but a toy, so to speak. He passed it with ease and was commended by the members of the board. He soon afterward opened business in Natchez, and the people flocked in to wish him success. He was polite, courteous and willing to answer the many questions put to him by the crowd. They looked him over and decided that he was the right man and should have their support. Already his brother had made a reputation as a physician. Dr. Dumas stayed in the rented building for five years and then, with the co-operation of Dr. A. W. Dumas, erected a fine brick structure right in the business section of the city. Now there are in the building offices occupied by several business men and a sanitarium. On the first floor is a shoe store, one of the largest in the country operated by our people, and also a drug store. Steady Advance of an Ohio School. The Curry Institute at Urbana, O. has made wonderful progress under the leadership of its principal. Dr. E. W. B. Curry. Quite recently the institution received some very substantial financial aid as well as buildings and ground. The opening of the school this fall will witness a large increase in the number of students over the past year. RACE PRESS SHOWS COURAGE Editors Denounce Segregation as a Menace and Demand Fair Play. Muskeguee, Okla.-Before adjourning its annual meeting recently held in this city the National Negro Press association unanimously adopted the following resolutions: Whereas The members of the National Negro Press association are in a position to give to the public such information as to what the race is doing among industrial, intellectual, moral, political and spiritual lines, and whereas the clergy are in a position to give to the public such information as to our cause, we call upon each of them to give hearty co-operation by instructing their congregations to read race newspapers, magazines and periodicals and to instruct our publications on a higher business standard; and, Whereas There are but few white papers in the facts of the progress of the Negro press, and that as the Negro paper is the only medium through which we may receive due credit; Be a resolved. That we besease our education and our organizations that insist that Negroes support the journals of their race which are struggling for advancement and race betrayment and their social and political realities, realizing the outlay of time, energy and money; and, Whereas We find that the accommodations for Negro passengers on the Mississippi state of Oklahoma, are unequal to those granted the white race—that the fare for both races is equal—that the conditions in the "jincrow cars" are as follows: One car is badly lighted and insatiable cars; no smoking accommodations except among women passengers; their general equipment much inferior to those "for white persons." Whereas The officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway permit their employees to violate the laws of the state and to be forced upon us. Be it resolved, That we, the members of the National Negro Press association, present this treatment on their part as a curb to the highest ambitions, an insult to our womanhood, a reflection to our manhood and a denial of our human rights in direct violation of the laws of the United States, and the constitution of the United States. Be it further resolved, That we condemn the interstate commerce commission and the state railroad commission to the effect that it is unfair to exact the same face of the Negroes as of the other races and deny them equal accommodations, and to force them by rules of the company, not by law, to be treated much worse than cattle. That we especially commend the action of Editor Philip H. Brown of Hopkins-Florida against the violation of the separate coach law by railroad officials who did not provide equal accommodation in separate coaches. We recommend that a copy of these resolution be sent to the officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, the members of the state railroad commission and the interstate compliance commission. All the "jinrow laws" and class legislation, segregation of government employees and disfranchisement; that we make a special protest to all railroad officials against the inhumane treatment of Negro passengers in publicity and fearlessly not tacitly and subserviently—knowing that it is our duty to do so regardless of the adverse argument of the Negroes. Negroes, realizing that—He who would be free must himself strike the first blow. Resolved further. That we extend our wishes to our colleagues in the Muskegee Daily Fight for the courtesies shown our delegation, whose request that the letter "N" be capitalized in the word "Negro" was granted; also to all other mediums of publicity for valuable services rendered. We express our thanks to the people of Muskegee for their cordial welcome extended us, also to the National Negro Business League, the Muskegee League and especially to the Muskegee Business league for their arrangement and hospitality, under the supervision of Hon. T. J. Elliott of the musicians, who made the meeting a success. Be it further resolved. That we invoke the divine blessings on each and every member of our association and on the human race, returning thanks for all opportunities accepted and all privileges granted. NICK CHILES, Chairman. MISS IDA M. BECK. CHARLES SUMNER SMITH. THE FIGHT AGAINST RACE SEGREGATION CONTINUES Opponents of This Unlawful Practice Push the Ashland (Va.) Case. The race segregation ordinances, enforced rigidly for some years in many of the cities and towns of Virginia, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide in a recent issue, are challenged as unconstitutional. Municipal laws prohibiting Negroes from living in the same residence blocks with white citizens are for the first time under fire in the supreme court of appeals of Virginia. The fight to have the segregation ordinances annuled as contrary to the constitution of the state of Virginia and the constitution of the United States has been inaugurated in Ashland, Va., where Negroes have been excluded from residence blocks where white people are in the majority since 1011. The preliminary move in the fight to eliminate race segregation resulted in a first victory for the opponents of the segregation law when the supreme court granted a writ of error and superseded in the Ashland case. Well Qualified Young Minister. The Rev. A. S. Phillips, B. D., of the Virginia Theological seminary and college, is one of the most energetic young ministers of the Baptist denomination. He is well qualified for his chosen calling and is wisely using his time. The Rev. Mr. Phillips recently delivered an instructive sermon at the Union Baptist church, Montclair, N. J., and won many friends. Having finished his theological studies at Virginia seminary, he is ready to enter fully into the ministry. The Rev. Mr. Phillips is also a former student of the Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va. Notable Progress Being Made by Our Race at Capital of Lone Star State Due Largely to Spirit of Co-operation Created by the Local Business League. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Austin, Tex.-This is Texas' capital. So many are the hills here it might be said, as it was of Rome, that Austin is built upon seven hills. Austin is a pretty and orderly city of 35,000 population, 11,000 of which are colored. The two colored colleges here, with the splendid public schools, in so far as the race is concerned, makes Austin a typical college town and filtrates through the race community culture and moral purity not always found in cities of this size. Under President Lovinggood the M. E. college here is doing a wonderful work, and its president is thoroughly in touch with and active in every movement which has for its object greater progress for the race. Austin, in so far as the race's population is concerned, is a religious city. This is shown by its support of twenty-one colored churches. But while the race in Austin believes in laying up treasures in heaven, where thieves do not break in, etc., they are somewhat inclined to the belief that treasures laid up here on earth become a pretty solacing asset pending our transition from earth to heaven, a transition which few "live ones" are in a hurry for. This is shown in the fact that our people here have $250,000 invested in business enterprises, own real estate approximating $300,000 and have $30,000 in cash in the banks of this city to their credit. It would appear from this that the race in Austin is willing to lay up and take chances on thieves breaking in and moths corrupting and rust corroding treasures. One of the leading business men of our race in Austin is L. D. Lyons, a perfectly live factor in every movement conceived for the betterment of race conditions. Texas is getting rid of the lazy, shiftless members of the race. In many things Austin is an ideally attractive little city—the air of culture, the thirst for education and the hospitality of its people are such as to compel one to linger here and impel a regret at leaving. Austin's material progress, while complimentary, has not been of that aggressive stripe characteristic of some other cities because Austin had no live, active business organization. Success here in the post has been individual. Awakening to the fact that co-operative success is most vital to race advancement, Austin colored men have reorganized its business league, officiating it with earnest, capable men, and with earnest, enthusiastic men composing its membership. In talking with a number of the real factors in racial advancement I learned that they now realize that there are many things which Austin should have in the way of business controlled by men and women of the race, and that earnest efforts should be made to encourage the race to patronize race enterprises. The recently reorganized business league has already begun a business revival. The homes and churches of the race here are attractive, commodious and evince commendable civic pride by the manner in which they are beautified and kept up. The interest the race takes in the property possessed by it. in beautifying it and keeping it in repair and the energy displayed in better citizenship and in education no doubt are most responsible for the helpful entente existing between the two races. Austin has the maximum of desirable colored citizens and the minimum of the undesirable. One of the finest high schools for colored people in all this country is to be found here. It is a splendid fireproof building, with an unusually large campus. The equipment is complete, the school board being quite liberal in appropriating for its building and equipment. There is a total of six public schools for colored children. Professor L. C. Anderson, one of the best known educators in the south, is principal of the high school and practically the head of the colored schools generally. His effective work is seen in the results. There are three colored physicians here, two dentists and two pharmacists. As yet no lawyer has hung out his shingle in this city, and I do not see why one should not succeed if he did so. Two drug stores, undertaking, printing, furniture store, painting, carpentry and stone contracting, transfer business, blacksmithing, grocery stores and truck gardening are some of the business activities in which the race is engaged here. W. M. Tears, L. D. Lyon, J. J. Jennings, J. H. Stewart, President Lovinggood, R. B. Fairbanks, H. Brown, G. W. Norman are among some of the men who are active in making Austin an ideal city. The State Institution For the Colored Blind, Deaf and Dumb is located here. It is a commodious building with the teachers and officers not alone earnest, but efficient in the work of training these unfortunate of the race. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS GERMANS LUSING GROUND STEADILY Invaders' Enveloping Movement Has Failed, Says French Report. GAINS OF THE ALLIES. The allies have gained ground all along the line of the Gurcq and Petit Moir rivers and the British have driven the enemy back 10 miles. Further to the right, near Montmirall and Albi, the gains have been only temporary. Still further to the right, from Vitry-Le-François to Sermize, the Germans have continued to retreat in the direction of Rheims. The enemy's attempt to advance at Luneville has been checked. The British on the left, having fought before they left the field, several of the wounded, arrived here Wednesday, estimate that 30,000 prisoners have been taken by the allies and that the German losses in killed and wounded have been the same, of the allies are reported to be no more than ordinarily would be expected from the nature of the fighting. Paris, France.—Marked French and British success marked the fourth day of the great battle which, is being fought along the concave line extending from Meaux to Verdun, with Vitry-Le-François in the center. On the French left, that part of the line resting nearest Paris, the Germans, though reinforced, have lost ground steadily and Gen. Joffère and Field Marshal Sir John French are hurling more and more troops on the German flank to give the German retreat further momentum. Germans Are Pressed Back. In the center, that part of the line which extends through La Fere-Champenois, Sompuis and Vitry-Le-Francois, with the last named the theater of the greatest activity, the French have pressed back the Germans in a succession of terrific assaults, in which the French artillery played a most deadly and effective part. The advance of the French is slow but general in the furious fighting in the center. On the right of the allies the exhausted German army has abandoned for the moment the attack on Nancy, which was made under the personal direction of Emperor William. In the Vosges and in Lorraine the French official reports indicate that their troops are pushing forward. Despite the fact that the German right wing, which has healed its way from Mons to Paris, is in retreat and that the German center is being pressed hard by the allies, it must be remembered that in this, the greatest battle in history, 3,000,000 men are engaged and one or two advances or retreats will not decide the battle. Enveloping Movement Fails. There is no doubt that the German envoiement has completely failed and that the strategic position of the allies is the best since the beginning of the war, secure as they are in a favorable position near their own base. The French retreat on Paris was executed with such mastery skill that, after their orderly retirement, the army still retains its full striking strength and is much more favorably situated than the Germans for an offensive movement, because the latter have been forcing the fighting ever since their entry into Belgium and their troops have suffered from the exhausting marches and the continuous fighting. Lack of ammunition also has embarrassed the Germans. For this reason the invaders have been forced at several points along the extensive line to retreat to unfavorable ground, giving way before the more amply supplied allies. The invaders, however, have not been entirely on the defensive. A dispatch received by the Tempes reports that Luneville was evacuated Sunday by the Germans, who also have abandoned the surrounding heights. Luneville is on the Moselle, 25 miles southeast of Nancy. Deny Fort Has Fallen. London, England.—French officials here deny that the fortress of Maubeuge has fallen to German arms. They assert the defense of the stronghold continues heroically against heavy German siege guns. Gen. Cherfliss says that although Maubeuge is liable to arrest the intrush of the invaders who have passed around it, the mere fact that it is holding out valently is of the greatest value, as its strategical position commands the most direct route to Cologne, which the Germans need to keep their forces supplied with ammunition. The single track line from Givet is the only line of communication between Germany and the 12 army corps now in France. French Officer is Hero. Paris, France.—Sergt. Fougere of the 80th regiment of infantry is the hero of one of the most thrilling series of experiences that have yet come to light. During one of the battles in Belgium Sergt. Fougere received eight bullet wounds. He was finally captured by the Germans but escaped while being transferred to the rear. Despite a broken arm and wounds in his calf, thigh and ankle he limped over the 10 miles which lay between the invaders and his own regiment. IN UNION UNION 4 STREET CZAR'S TROOPS WIN COMPLETE VICTORY Battle at Rawa, 32 Miles Northwest of Lemberg Is Reported Over. Petrograd, Russia.—Reports reaching here say that the great battle at Rawa, in Galicia, 32 miles northwest of Lemberg, is over and that the Russians have won a complete victory. The Austrians are said to be retiring everywhere. Among the prisoners taken by the Russians are a large number of Germans. "On Sept. 8," a dispatch says, "a general engagement continued along the whole of the Austrian front. In the center the Austrian army is falling back. Near Rava Russka a stubborn battle was fought with considerable Austrian forces. Our troops are also attacking a strongly fortified position at Gorodok, west of Lemberg. On the left bank of the Vistula river our advance is developing very favorably." Slavonic Natives Used as Shields. The Slavonic natives of Austria arriving here as prisoners of war declare they were placed in front of the battle line purposely by the Austrians. It is proposed to lodge the wounded Austrians and Germans in the empty German and Austrian embassies. Trains filled with prisoners and large numbers of Russians and Austrians, wounded at Lemberg, have arrived here. A telegram from Bucharest, Rumania, says that the Russian victories in Galicia over the forces of the dual monarchy have aroused the Rumanians to almost fanatic excitement. Thousands of Rumanians demonstrated Tuesday in the streets of Bucharest in favor of Russia and France. 2.000 Italians Fall. The defeat of the Austrians at Lemberg has created a deep impression at Trieste and all along the Adriatic coast. The regiments which suffered most were composed of men of Italian origin; the 57th Austrian infantry was recruited almost entirely from Trieste Italians. This force was virtually annihilated, 2,000 men being left on the field and only 65 returning. What is probably most important is the demoralization of the Austrian army, which is now in a desperate situation. Disheartened by constant defeats and suffering from defection of the various nationalities of which it is composed, mutiny now has added its destructive influence and the desertions are many. SAYS GERMANS ARE IN RUSSIAN POLAND Berlin, Germany.—Maj. Moraht, the military critic of the Tageblatt, writes: "Tuesday's news that the Silesian landwehr have taken 1,000 prisoners from Russian and Caucasian corps, and news from Vienna that German troops occupied Radom (Russian Poland) on Aug. 29, together with earlier reports of a German occupation of Lodz and Petrika, throw a welcome light on a hitherto ignored section of the battle front. They indicate that the Germans marched in a broad front over the Silesian and Posen frontiers into Russian Poland and are in touch with the Austrian column advancing through Kielce (a province in Russian Poland bordering on Galicia). "The Germans must now be, or immediately will be, before Ivangored, and if the columns at Lodz and Petrika advanced, they also must have reached the Vistula with their left wing touching the fortress in the district of Warsaw. If indications do not deceive, we are in the presence of a German offensive across the Vistula river, which will co-operate timely and strongly with the Austrian offenses at Lubin." The Berlin war office reports that the Silesian landwehr has captured a thousand men and 17 officers of the Russian Imperial Guard. The right took place in the neighborhood of Breslau, and this is the first indication that Russian forces have invaded this part of the German empire. Up to the present time the operations of the scar all have been confined to east Prussia. Official announcement was made at army headquarters that the French fortress at Maubeuge, on the Sambre river, had fallen. The Germans took 40,000 prisoners, including four generals. Four hundred guns also were captured. Maubeuge is a French fortress of the first class. It is situated in the Department Du Nord, about six miles from the Belgian frontier. Good Year for Farmer. Chicago, Ill.—This is the golden year for the American farmer. His five leading crops for 1914 were worth $4,352,000,000 Sept. 1, leading grain men estimated, using the latest government crop reports as a basis. This is $682,000,000 more than the farmer received last year for the same five crops—wheat, corn, oats, barley and hay—and forecasts the richest returns to the soil-tillers in the history of the United States. This year's record breaking wheat crop alone is valued at $838,000,000. One Year.....$1.50. Six Months.....1.00.

We are progressing, all right. Absolutely no doubt of it. An Illinois member of the race, recently deceased, left Wilberforce one thousand dollars! There is nothing that has happened in the South, for many, many years, that has given so much real satisfaction to the entire country, as the recent defeat of Gov. Cole Blease of South Carolina, a candidate for U. S. Senator. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Prof. R. T. Greener of Chicago, for a copy of "The Enforcement of The Law" by Robert McMurdy, auctor of "The Upas Tree." Mr. Greener was U. S. consul at Vladivostok during the Russian-Japanese war. He is one of our best educated and ablest men. What kind of a law is the Democratic Underwood tariff law? In its failure to produce revenue it cannot properly be called a tariff for revenue. In closing down and even destroying industries it cannot be called a tariff for legitimate competition. Of course, it is not a protection measure. From the standpoint of the farmer, it could be designated very properly a "tariff for discrimination." The people of the country are getting on to what a dismal failure the Underwood tariff law is. Under Wilson, privileges given to American ships in the Panama Canal built by American money, have been taken away from them. It is now proposed to apologize to Colombia for the territory on which the Canal was built and make our apology good by paying her $25,000,000. We are buying goods of foreign countries and sending them our good gold. We have opened our gates to the products of cheap foreign labor. We have welcomed Argentine beef and Argentine corn and Siberian butter and Chinese eggs. Only two years of Wilson and yet these are results. What next? Last week Thursday, Co. H, Fourth infantry, Alabama National Guard, was ordered from Opelika to Dadeville to protect Luther Sims and Jim Wright, Negroes, from mob violence. The two are charged with the killing, a couple of nights previous, of Fletcher Turner, (white), a Dadeville merchant. The encouraging feature of the foregoing is the fact that even one company of the state militia was called out for the protection of the prisoners. It is only on very rare occasions that this is done when the prisoner is a member of the race. --- Watch the Democracy lay all the consequences of its own shortcomings in Administration policy since March 4, 1913, to the European war crisis. The titanic struggle across the seas makes a fine cloud of battle smoke to obscure Democratic incompetence just before election. The question for the thoughtful voter to answer for himself, however, has nothing to do with the war. This question is, what was happening to the country in the way of business and financial depression as the result of Democratic misgovernment for months before the war broke out? How much worse off will this land of ours be along this same direction now that the war is on—when the revenues of a boasted "competitive tariff" already fast diminishing during a time of peace, must decrease still further because foreign "competition" is stifled by the conflict of arms abroad. THE "COME BACK." A study of the returns of all the State and Congressional elections and primary results, including the recent primary in Ohio, give great encouragement from a national party standpoint. They all point one way. The indicator is not simply an average or net result; it is a steady—although varying in emphasis—index finger pointing to but one road, and that road is named Republicanism. The returns show conclusively that the Republican party has "come back" to practically its old-time strength—and, conversely, they demonstrate that the Democracy throughout the Nation has receded from the position it held in 1912; and it should be borne in mind that in that year it was a minority party on the popular vote. The figures also plainly tell the story of the collapse of the Progressive party; they furthermore indicate that the great majority of the Progressive vote of 1912 has now returned to its old allegiance. An analysis will, in addition, show that there is a strong disposition on the part of the stay-at-home Republican vote of 1912 to come out as of yore. In Ohio the situation from a Republican standpoint, in all these aspects, is even more favorable than the figures from other states show. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STARTLES US. The Louisville-Courier Journal quotes Dr. Washington in saying in a recent speech that "the Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his forces toward beautifying the neighborhood in which he lives." If Dr. Washington is correctly quoted, this is most discouraging. It is inconceivable that one who occupies so prominent a position in the Afro-American world should so far forget his position and his dignity as to urge his race to cease protesting against the most cowardly and humiliating legislation in the land. It is safe to say that segregation has many champions even among our race, but almost without exception they are to be found among the element where there is the least intelligence and where there is an inherent fear of opposing anything the white man chooses to do. But here we are smitten from an unexpected quarter; a recognized leader of the race, an educator, tells us to forget our manhood; to forget the sacred and inalienable rights of political and personal liberty, and to passively submit to the humiliation of being pushed aside as though we are a race of lepers, because we would seek cleaner and healthier neighborhoods in which to live. To submit to a degradation without serious objection is worse than cowardly; it is unmany and do仁ible, and any race that would do so without exhausting every means of moral and legal protest is unworthy of the name of civilized. Segregation is wrong, wrong in principle and fact, and if Dr. Washington believes it is wrong, as we think he does, it is to be deeply regretted that he lacks the moral stamina to say she. It is obvious even to the friends and supporters of Dr. Washington, that if he is quoted accurately, he cannot in the future be regarded as being in sympathy with the Afro-American who places his self-respect and manhood above everything else, and who is not willing to sacrifice either for the sake of living on more congenial terms with his white brother. Dr. Washington's statement is as puzzling to the News as it is painful, because even if he believes that we should not oppose segregation, it seems worse than a blunder for him to throw open so vulnerable a spot to the many opponents of his policies by saying so. However, the advice of "the Sage of Tuskegee" is not going to have any effect on our local fight, one way on the other. Surprise and disgust are expressed on all sides by those who read his quotation and The News is forced to confess to the drawing of some very painful conclusions, none of which are too complimentary to Dr. Washington.—Louisville (Ky.) News Comment unnecessary. What has Dr. Washington to say in reply? One of the strange incidents of the great war is the fighting in Africa between lonely little companies of white men living as temporary exiles of trade or government service in the midst of multitudes of black savages. In Togoland, a small German departement, many of the Germans were attacked by a stronger force of their British and French neighbors from the Gold Coast. a part of the British possessions in Africa and Dahomey, which is French territory. At last accounts they had surrendered to the allies. And in Toi Morocco, a native African nation, about 100,000 to 500. In the interior of Africa small German forces from German East Africa, where 4,000 or 5,000 Germans live among 10,000,000 natives, are attacking outposts in the Belgian Congo state. The Belgians are being aided by the British from British East Africa, where the native Africans number about 4,000,000 and the white inhabitants, chiefly soujourners who have no expectation of making that region their permanent home, do not exceed 2,000 or 3,000. That these white men, far from their own countries, surrounded by a sea of black savages, take up arms to kill one and in need of are necessarily lonely and in need of protection their own race is one of the grim little ironies of war. Yet similar warfare in the early days of America, with red instead of black savages for spectators and participants, determined the destiny of a great continent. Africa, too, may have a far far beyond anything its present state promises.—Cleveland Leader. The foregoing reminds us of a telegram, sent last week, to a Boer leader and former general in South Africa by another former Boer general, a resident of Texas (and an officer in Gen Villa's Mexican army), since the war with England that cost the Boers their country, practically, and made voluntary exiles of many thousands of them. The Texas Boer wired his brothers "at home" that "Now is the time to strike for liberty!" This is equally true in the case of the "black savages" (as the Leader terms them) in Africa. What a pity it is that they cannot be made to understand it promptly and take advantage of a glorious opportunity they may never again have. LEAVES WILBERFORCE $1,000. The following is a paragraph of the Leopold H. Green will. He died a few months ago. "And I also give, devise and bequeath unto the trustees of Wilberforce University, of the African M. E. Church, located at Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio, one thousand ($1,000) dollars to be devoted to scholarships in aid of such mertortious students as the faculty may from time to time be designated with scholarships designated The Leopold H. Green Scholarships." P. S. The late Mr. Green was a member of the race and a citizen of Illinois. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 12, 1914 WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIA BLE" GAZETTE'S CORRE- SPONDENTS. THROUGHOUT OHIO What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Mu- SANDUSKY.-Within the last two years Afro-Americans of Carolin County, Va., have built, unassisted three two-room graded schools costing $1,200 each and one three-room graded school costing $1,800. At present there are three schools under concession in the fall of 1914. Two are two-room schools costing $1,200 and the other is a four-room building at Dawn costing $2,500, where, later, high school subjects will be taught. These seven rural graded schools have been built entirely by our people at a conserva tive total estimate of $10,300. All bus students in the state aid of $200; that one receive $100, making the annual state aid to our rural schools in the county $1,300. These figures do not include the gift of the Bowling Green Industria Academy and 10 acres of land, the $200 to our people, nor the $175 annual state aid which that school as a teachers training school will receive.

CADIZ—In South Africa—a British Colony—the natives of India, who are full-fledged British subjects, have to put up with the following restrictions and indignities: All East-Indian immigrants are required to register themselves precisely as criminals are required to each other. They are required to print, etc. They are compelled to live by themselves, in reservations outside the pale of civilization. The quarters assigned to them are unhealthy and insanitary. Educational facilities are grudgingly given their children. No matter how high their rank or deep their culture, no matter how much they may be willing to pay for the ride they must travel in inferior railway and street cars. It is practically impossible for them to buy or even lease property. They are hampered in every conceivable way when they attempt to secure licenses to engage in trade or peddling. In some instances, East India businesses in the country enterprises in South Africa have financially ruined because the authorities refused to readmit them after a temporary absence out of the Union, and would not allow them to import their countrymen to serve as employees. A poll tax of $15 a year is imposed on each East Indian who elects to remain in South Africa after the last election. They must pay a like amount each year for his wife and for each son above sixteen and each daughter above their teen years of age. The authoritaries harrass the settlers by refusing if allow their wives and children (even though the latter may have been born in South Africa) to join them. The legality of marriages contracted acording to Hindu and Moslem rites is unclear. The wedlock are deemed illegitimate. Religious observances are interfered with by barring out priests and preceptors. CORRESPONDENTS must mail all letters for publication at their main postoffice sufficiently early on Monday (or Sunday) of each week to have them reach The Gazette office on Tuesday morning, and always write to the postmaster on the city or town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY The fall session of Wilberforce University will begin Tuesday, Sept. 15 All students are requested to be on the grounds by the 14th, for registration, which will place in Carnegie Library Building. S.W. BORCHARDON, Pres. MINERAL WEALTH IN BOLIVIA United States Now in Position to Develop Natural Resources of the Country. "The opening of the Panama canal will bring all the South American countries in closer touch with the United States, and is bound to result in mutual profit," said J. H. Hobart of New York in an interview at Washington. "Bolivia is one of the countries in South America of which little is known here, but which is sure to be developed through being in closer touch with this country. There is no doubt that among the many industries to be established in Bolivia, gold mining is one that will be among the most lucrative. It was only a short time ago that Bolivia, ignorant of the gold that lay hidden, started her efforts to develop her mines of tin, copper, silver, bismuth and tungsten, paying no attention to the more precious metal. "Years ago, during the Spanish regime, the Spaniards took many thousands of dollars' worth of gold from the Bolivian mines. The fleet of Spain carried to Europe cargoes of gold, which historians erroneously recorded as the product of Peru. The error was due to the fact that almost everything sent from the American continent to Spain had to pass through and be recorded in the office of the viceyro, who resided in Lima, and the error was the less noticeable because, under the reign of the Spaniards, the territory now known as Bolivia was called upper Peru. "The day following the proclamation of independence, when the Spaniards took their departure, they took the precaution to close the entrances to all the mines, hoping to find them as they left them on their return. But the Spaniards never came back, and for a century the rich veins of gold, it is said, have been lost to mankind." KIND OF A FAN TO ENVY He Sits Through the Game Silently, Though All the Time Enjoying it Hugely. He is young, tall, slender, wears blue serge, and even on very cool days in the early spring he goes without an overcoat, Simeon Strunsky writes in the Atlantic. He sits out the game with folded arms, very erect, thin lipped and with just the break of a smile around the eyes. He usually comes alone and has little to say. He is not a snob; he will respond to his neighbor's comments in moments of exceptional emotional stress, but he does not wear his heart on his sleeve. I imagine him sitting, in very much the same attitude, in college lecture rooms, or taking instructions from the head of the office. Complete absorption under complete control—he fascinates me. While the stout young man behind me chatters on for his own gratification, forgetting one moment what he said the moment before—an empty headed young man with a tendency to profanity as the game goes on—this other trim young figure in blue serge, with folded arms, sits immobile, watching, watching with a knowledge of the world, knowledge and experience, enjoying the thing immensely, but giving no other sign than a sharper glint of the eye, a sleek opening of the lips. In a moment of crisis, being only human, he rises with the rest of us, but deliberately, to follow the course of a high fly down the foul line far toward the bleachers. When the ball is caught he smiles and sits down and folds his arms. I envy him his capacity for drinking in enjoyment without display. This is the kind of a fan I should like to be. Century-Enduring Bridges. If the United States has vanished like the Roman empire five centuries or ten centuries hence, any Chinese or other yellow antiquarians digging into the ruins of this city can find remarkable evidence of a golden age of monumental bridge buildings right in Philadelphia, asserted Chief Engineer George S. Webster of that city. He issued a description of some comments on 90 such bridges constructed in recent years which will endure for centuries. The same comments apply to sewers. He said: "The construction employed today, at a reasonable increase in first cost, adds far more than proportionately to the beauty, permanence and final economy of the bridge. "Where the head room and foundations permit, an arch bridge of concrete is built, and this should last at least five centuries, with possibly repairs to the lighter and more ornamental portions, such as the open balustrades, after say, a century. Bara steel is now used only where the weight of concrete is prohibitive." Was Noted Catholic Prelate. James Roosevelt Bayley, the predecessor of Cardinal Gibbons as archbishop of Baltimore, was born 100 years ago in Rye, N. Y. He originally intended to make medicine his vocation but abandoned the study at the University of Newark, and in 1840 was ordained a priest of the Protestant Episcopal church. Assailed by religious doubts, he visited Rome in 1841 and was received into the Roman Catholic church. Several years after his return to America he became president of St. John's college, Fordham, N. Y. In 1853 he became first bishop of Newark, N. J. Here he founded Seton Hall college and translated to the archbishopal see of Baltimore, the highest honor the church had to offer in the United States. New Modern English Little lessons in manners where she deems them necessary are being given by Miss Agnes Scotland, stenographer, to City Forester John Boddy, to school children calling at city hall for garden seeds this week. "Tit' your cap," she told a boy yesterday. A dull stare of incomprehension met the suggestion. "Tip your cap." Still no response. "C, lift your lid," shouted Miss Scotland. Off came the cap. He understood that—Cleveland Plain Dealer. BABOO DRIVEN TO COMPLAIN Not Wild, But Domestic Animals Disturbed the Peace and Quiet of Indian Officials. Serpents, baboons, tigers and other dangerous and disturbing creatures have not infrequently interfered with the work of progress and improvement in India. The distracted telegraph of a baboo station master, asking for instructions, in the unpleasant emergency of "tiger dancing on platform," has long been a stock anecdote. He was certainly excusable for being rather upset in his mind, and in his English. The recent plea of a baboo office clerk, addressed to the head of the firm whose son, a confirmed doglover, had been recently put in charge, had less to justify its urgency—yet there are many who will sympathize. A puppy's presence does not conduce to mental concentration or spiritual calm. "If this office will be continuously infested by sprightly canine with penchant for eating legs," he wrote, "how shall work be performed to honor's satisfaction? I beseech will honor relegate the friend of man to house and home, where noxious behavior shall be suitably admired." Mr. H. L. Polcett, who reports this choice gem, adds another, less recent, but equally characteristic, showing a tender-hearted baboo postmaster's consideration for that other domestic pet, less often reckoned the friend of man than of woman. "Office cat, by reason of death of rats, daily growing lean," he notified his superior. "Will superintendent please increase the contingent allowance for her return to stoutness?"—Youth's Companion. MAKING THE HUMBLE PENNY By the Use of Ingenious Machinery the Coins Are Turned Out and Sorted Quickly. We speak of copper coins as "copers" for short. In reality the penny is bronze, a mixture of copper, tin and zinc. This metal arrives at the mint in long bars. It is put into closed crucibles in a closed furnace, where the immense heat melts it until it runs like water. The melting removes any impurities in the metal. The purified metal is poured into long, thin molds and cooled, after which it is pressed between powerful rollers into sheets the exact size and thickness of a penny. These long, thin strips now go to another machine. This one is called the "cutter." It cuts the metal into round disks the size of a penny. The scraps fall into a tray beneath and are melted again in the furnace, so that nothing is wasted. The blank disks are now brought to a machine which raises the edges of the coins. This protects the face of the penny from a great deal of wear. After this process they are baked for two and a half hours to strengthen them. Then they are ready for the stamping machine. Into the machine they are dropped down a sloping tube. At the bottom of it they are struck between two dies and they come out stamped on both sides. Every coin is tested before it leaves the mint. The coins pass on a revolving belt before an expert, whose quick touch and glance discern those of imperfect make, bad color, etc. The last and most wonderful machine in the mint is the one that counts the pennies and bags putting the same number in each bag. 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. Bailey's Giants, Afro-American champions of the city, are now during the Z Stars to play them. It looks as if the latter are really afraid of them. Mrs. Joseph G. Brown of 2247 E. 89th St. left, Wednesday, for Detroit, Mt. Clemens and other Michigan points. Mrs. Sorgha Madison left Port Stanley, Ca.

Is the Unfortunate Condition of His People in the West Indies Says Justin L. Scale—Graphic Descriptions—Heart-Rending Experiences Cited—An Intensely Interesting Communication. Editor Gazette, Deer Str.: A few mouthteeths, the New York Evening Post, editor of the New York Evening Post, speaking in St. John's A. M. E. church of this city, said, among other things: "But what every American state needs, and particularly the south, is a mounted constabulary patrolling the roads. It is the existence of such a force of Negro constabulary in Jamaica which leaves in pearl the 800,000 dwellings and happiness with only 15,000 whites." Mr. Villard is right in his statement about the mounted constabulary patrolling the roads of Jamaica. Such forces are to be found in the roads and highways of every British West Indian Island. But "Negroes dwelling in Peace Happiness in Haitien have the drenny. A man held in the beautiful and brutal coils of a python is often quiet; but is he enjoying peace? Perhaps he is grooming; and will gentlemen mistake this for songs of praise? The mounted constabulary of Jamaica is the British Government produces the illusion of peace and happiness. And it works well, for the fools still believe themselves Englishmen; and the Union Jack, the emblem of their power; even as the Colored race here flatter themselves about their "Stars and Stripes." The truth is that here, we too often receive the "stripes"; and there too repeated the "ridden" and the too repeated the "hidden live in peace and happiness!" Yes; on the theory that tools are always peaceful and happy. Slaves, sir, do not know their status; therefore, that which is doled out to such, and by them received as just and reasonable for body and soul, must not—no cannot—be taken as the true standard of measure for men whose minds sit at the very centre of things, and recognize in all flesh a common and original substance. In the West Indies, there are a few such men and women to be found. 'Tis true, they are identified with a kind of shallow patriotism which they have often confessed with their hearts has never been what they could it be with a man who knows his true value, and those priceless rights of his which he has surrendered to society for the common good of all? But the sad and plight feature of it is, the crushing weight thrown upon the shoulders of those few but noble souls within our ranks. They have not only the combined force and intelligence of the English race to unison the ignorance and un顽固able indifference of the masses, who contribute towards the humiliation, more than the active emity of the whites could ever achieve. Be not deceived, sir, when you are told of England's equity and justice to her black subjects; whether it be from the lips of men or angels, believe it not. The British theory that, "all men are equal in the eye of the law," is a beautiful phrase; but it is perilously near what in political terms it means. Let me give you a few examples of "the white justice" in the British West Indies with which the writer has had representative relations: Between the years 1892 and 1900, I was employed on the reportorial staff of one of our daily papers, "The Barbados Advocate." For three years, I was detailed to the District courts in the parish of St. Thomas in the parish of St. Thomas there is a chapel—"Holy Innocent" is its name—to which an Irish clergyman of the Anglican church was appointed in charge, generally attend the practice and rehearsals of the choir which is composed of little boys, young men OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD and matured men. Now, every good church-goer likes to see how well the new parson plays his part in comparison with his predecessor. For this reason, all of the services were well attended by the Colored people, in spite of the fact that the priest had publicly expressed his disgust of having to "preach to a crowd of ignorant men" and "be a preacher one Thursday evening, during rehearsal, just in time to hear the reverend chanting the morning litany in company with choirs. After the rehearsal, I gave it, as my opinion, that the parson sang like a Dublin fish-woman. Somehow, the Negro sexton heard of my remarks and told the reverend gentleman, who demanded of me an open apology before the church, or be barred from communion and my name being taken. I was used an apology when the parson was appointed keeper of the "Lambs' Book of Life." But that's beside the point. This same clergyman, a few weeks later, slapped, cuffed and ejected from church one of the little boy-choir who held his hymn book before his face smiling, as the parson believed, at the melody of his voice. The priest was sued for assault and battery, and two courts of the island decided that this man of God (?) was justified in his assault, as the parson who smiled in his presence. One hesitates to say what would have been, had those Colored boys called out: "Go up thou badd-head." Take another case: A little girl of nine years was arrested by one Perkins, a planter, whilst gathering shrubs and brambles on his farm for the purpose of fire-wood—"to cook dinner." The girl scratched his hand in futile effort to escape. Perkins kicked the child twice, in the presence of her mother, afterwards given in custody and charged with petty larceny. When the family of the girl heard of this, they went in search of Perkins, but were met by a troop of mounted police, who arrested them for disorderly conduct. These people, five in number, were tried to imprisonment, and the girl sent to the "girls' referential." But what of Farmer Perkins who twice kicked the little Colored girl? The courts justified his act on the plea of self-defense. There are some Irish soldiers known as the Leister regiment, reputed for their hostility to the West Indian regiment, and they meet there is sure to be a fight. In the late 18th ago, they were quartered in Barbad as where a black regiment was also stationed, and a free-for-all fight was the consequence. As usual, the Leister regiment came off second best. Next morning, a number of the Colored soldiers were in the veranda of the barracks cleaning their rifles and laughing over the affair of the previous regiment overheard their talk whilst sentry, and fired on them, killing one and wounding three of the number. This was a serious case, for in times of peace such matters fall within the jurisdiction of the civil government. But they little knew how British laws are administered in the Colonies between her white and black subjects. To be brief, the whole matter, after an official inquest, was silenced and thrown cut by the grand jury as "not a true bill"; without a single protest by the ministers and attorney-general the crown, in spite of the fact that the trial was adjourned, tried in open court by a judge of twelve men. But the point is this: The grand jury is selected from the white tax-payers of the island; the petty jury from the black tax-payers. The murder was committed by a white soldier on a black soldier. Do you see the reason for this willful disregard of a well established rule of law? These are, but a few samples of cases which can be gathered by the score from every part of the British West Indies. And where, among the black soldiers, there are, to be found "the dead corpse of honor, buried in the grave yard of ignorance." In the West Indies, as well as here, there are a set of men whose mission, it seems, is to worry and terrify individualism—the map with personal independence of action. Their doctrine is: "It could have been worse, let us alone." These sir, are the true encumbrance of the race, having received their manner of life from their elders in the grave. Let someone dare to speak, write or act in accordance with the natural rights and privileges of preachers, well-willing but mistaken "old ladies" of the male sex, rise up in holy horror, and with their hideous and everlasting cries of "nay, nay!" they seek to scare every enlightened soul back into the frozen current of the past. For them, the experience of the past has no lesson. The light of reason shines not for their guidance. They never question, they never doubt, they never combat. These are the "peaceful and happy Negroes" of whom Mr. Villard speaks. JUSTIN L. SEALE, 10522 Arthur Av.

Osborne of Boston, a colored porter employed by the Oakland Motor Car company, has just finished a portrait of cardinal O'Connell, which in many ways proves the ability of the artist. The picture and the wood carving in the frame that encloses it, and the pedestal on which it stands, required eight weeks to finish. The accomplishment is the more striking in that Mr. Osborne can devote only part of his spare time, about two hours a day when there is daylight, to the practicing of his favorite recreation and prospective life work. When his duties as porter are over at five o'clock in the afternoon he hastens to his little room, which is a studio as well, and while the light is good paints or does charcoal drawing. Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which is done in oil, was painted from a recent photograph by a well known Boston photographer, and is 20 by 27 inches. The carved and painted frame is about four feet high and is an excellent representation of the old Florentine art, as is the hand carved pedestal on which it rests. In the center of the woodwork above the picture is a miniature reproduction of the "Nativity," and on either side in the carved replica of Florentine cathedral windows is an angel, one holding a harp and the other a bugle. On the base of the frame is carved a wreath of red roses, harmonizing with the cardinal's cape. The work of Mr. Osborne is a triumph over difficulties, for practically all of the carving was done with a lackknife. Mr. Osborne was born in Savannah, Ga., in 1870, and spent the first 20 years of his life in the South. He worked with carpenters and learned panelling and moulding, but all the while he fostered a strong desire to become a painter. He used to draw in the sand with pointed sticks and occasionally procured a little crayon. Feeling that there was larger opportunity in the North, he came to Boston in 1891, and while working as a porter went to the evening school of the Boston Art club. There he received instruction in charcoal drawing from Ernest Major. Later he studied water colors under Miss Agnes Leavitt, an artist in Copley square. For several years after that he kept up his artistic endeavors alone, money not being very plentiful. He disposed of quite a number of paintings in this period, and with the proceeds he was able to go to the drawing school of Eric Pape in 1911, studying there three years. Much of his spare time has been spent in visiting art exhibitions and in the art department of the Boston city library. Mr. Osborne has sold a number of outdoor sketches and portraits done from life. He considers his best work to be the "Oriental Dancing Girl" from life, a picture which took him six months to complete and which is now on exhibition at the Boston City club. After a rest of two weeks he intends to begin a work called "Star of Bethlehem," which he hopes to have on exhibition by Christmas.

Every man has an excuse for wanting the earth, but his excuse is never satisfactory to his neighbors. Dalren, China, has 21 public primary schools with nearly 6,000 pupils, and 289 private schools with 7,000 pupils. The highest inland building is the new Chamber of Commerce at St. Louis, Mo.

The moon is getting nearer to the earth at a speed of about fourteen feet in 200 years. Ceylon rickshaws now use American wire wheels. When the authorities of the Caliburn school decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school, the student tradesmen attacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and putting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesmen in the training. Again the call came to do some building which would require skill, patience, and endurance. It was the erection of a two-story brick building to be used as a social center for the boys. Contracts were awarded to the Trade Schools departments and student tradesmen did the construction work. Today the building stands completed. It is known as Clarke hall. It is used by the Young Men's Christian association. To appreciate the meaning of these three examples of construction work done by the Hampton tradesmen, one must see the completed structures and realize the building problems which the young negro and Indian tradesmen met and successfully solved. While construction work calls for ability to read working drawings and follow detailed specifications, the demands made by repair problems are in many instances even more taxing. To make a repair quickly, skillfully, and economically, requires unusual ability. Hampton institute is indeed an industrial village in which there is constant demand for men who can do good repair and construction work. Hampton aims to fit young men and women to do well and in an uncommon way the common tacks of life. Students are taught to handle their tasks like skilled workmen. They have for their work an excellent equipment and they are expected and required to take the best possible care of the school's property. They receive financial credit for their work and they are required to keep a strict account of all that they earn and spend during the years of their training at Hampton. Clerks in the stores and shops of all kinds in Mexico smoke while waiting on customers. The work for girls at Hampton leads to the important occupations of homemaking and teaching. When a girl enters Hampton institute she has the opportunity of receiving thorough training in domestic science. The girls work daily for 12 months in the laundry and in the boarding departments under the supervision of experienced teachers, and carry on their academic studies in the evening the same as the boys who are in the work class. The mental and moral training, which the year of combined work and study gives, makes it one of the most valuable years of the course. The working day for the girls is shorter than for the boys, but a girl may earn from $15 to $18 a month. This enables her to be entirely self-supporting during her first year in school, and to accumulate a balance toward defraying the expenses of the second year. A girl in the work class needs very little money besides her entrance fee and first month's board. This course is advised for all new girls regardless of their ability to pay their way in the day school. Belgian state railways buy cloth from England for uniforms of employees.

Marsans is going back to Cuba again, having been prevented from playing when a St. Louis judge postponed his case until late in the fall. It was a peculiar excuse the court offered. He was going on his vacation. With Hal Chase now assured to the Buffalo Feds on first base, it is expected that the deal by which Joe Ager is to go to the St. Louis Feds will be put through. This will mean the casting adrift of Hugh Miller. Cobb and Crawford get more big hits for extra bases, yet a majority of the fans would choose Connie Mack's great clean-hitters, Collins and Baker, if asked to name the best hitting combination in the major league.

Pitcher Matt Zeiser is back with Lowell, from which club the Boston Red Sox originally got him. 1 Not all the glory of the old time brigade belongs to Wagner, Lajole, Mathewson and Plank. For Tommy Leach also belongs—and well up around the top. Tommy started pro baseball just 18 years ago with Petersburg, Va. He is playing his sixteenth season in the big show. And just at present Tommy is not only fielding finely, but is out batting both Wagner and Lajole—and about two hundred others in the main corral. Leach deserves to be classed with the immortal few—the 1 per cent—who after 15 years' service are still first-class actors. In place of waning, he has played better ball the last two years than he has shown since the early days of his stardom, when he was part of one of the most formidable machines of the game.

WILL BE TRYING TO MANY Soft Waves and Curls That Were So Becoming to Most Faces Are to Be Things of the Past—Coming Season, it Appears, Will Be a Velvet One. PARIS—The latest Parisian head-dresses show studied simplicity of outline. Foreheads are again very fashionable. More than this, it is now considered correct to show the greater part of the ears. It cannot be denied that the newest style of hairdressing is rather trying to any but pretty women. The soft waves and curls which formed a becoming frame for a sharp cut face a few months ago are now voted impossible. It becomes more and more the fashion to leave the hair unwrapped and uncurled; simply to brush it until it gleams like spun silk and then to draw it back from the face and fasten it near the top of the head with a handsome comb. One of the latest Parisian harddressing models is illustrated. The head at the top shows a picturesque style which is very becoming to girls who possess small and regular features. There is a light, straight fringe on the forehead and then the unwaved hair is drawn right back and fastened close to the head with ornamental pins. Another hairdressing idea is very popular. The hair is drawn back from the forehead as in the first case, but a single loose lock is permitted to fall over one eye. At the top of the head the hair is held in place by a massive ebony comb. As a rule women who have small features look distinguished and pretty when their hair is lightly drawn back from the forehead, but the new methods become distinctly trying when they oblige the side hair to be drawn back also. Nine times out of ten a woman looks prettier when she has a few soft curls showing at either side of the head. I do not mean the quaint kiss curls which were the rage last spring, but little natural looking curls which soften the face and add to its charm. In my opinion the Parisiennes are very much inclined to run into exaggeration in this matter. The mysterious order has gone forth that foreheads are to be bare, and as a natural result all the hair on the head is now being drawn back as though the fortunate victim was about to wash her face. Mischief always dwells in the heart of exaggeration, and so I put forth a little word of warning. One of the new fall materials is a cloth which resembles ottoman silk, but is made entirely of wool. It is shown in several strong colors, but is I think, at its best in a rich tone of orange yellow. In one of the big dress-making establishments in the Place Vendome I recently saw a sensational costume in which this cloth played an important role. Just a Trifle Bizarre. The gored skirt was made of black bretschwanz and the Louis XVI coat, which was rather long, was in the orange colored cloth. There were immense cut jet buttons on the fronts of the coat and on the sleeves and pockets. At the wrist there were plaited frills of old yellow lace and the strange garment was lined with black satin and accompanied by a flat brimmed picture hat made entirely of velvet. The bretschwanz dress had a little decollete corsage, which was drawn up over a chemisette of lace similar to that on the sleeves. It was a remarkable costume, and would certainly score a success if worn by the right woman. Tangerine yellow will be one of the leading colors of the winter season; and side by side with it we will find cyclamen pink and Prussian blue. Cloth in these colors will be used for long coats and for loose mantles and we shall also find the colder tones of beige and putty very popular. A Redfern model intended for September wear at Biarritz, was made of pale beige faced cloth, with narrow bands of skunk on the tunic and also on the fronts of the corsage. On the smart coat which accompanies this costume there was some handsome silk braiding. Velvet Season Coming. It is going to be a velvet season, that is certain—velvet in all the rich dark shades and in black. It is some little time since we have had a real velvet season in Paris, but we are entering upon one now. For elaborate afternoon dresses the velvet materials will be the handsomest braided and trimmed with bands of fur. Braiding is once again the fashion. It is to be seen on many of the best tailored models, and such men as Redfern, Drecol, Worth and Rouff are using it with the best results. A black velvet suit richly braided in black silk never falls to make a success. It is eminently dressy and suitable for all occasions which demand ceremonious costumes. Black chiffon velvet will continue to be a favorite material for evening Activities of Women The average wages paid women in the textile trade in England is $3.56 a week. Marle Dressler, the actress, is the owner of large mining properties in Nevada.

The Parisiennes have accepted with enthusiasm a modified 1880 outline which gives a peculiarly boyish appearance to the figure. This effect is obtained by the application of 1880 styles to 1914 forms, that is to say, by the introduction of tight fitting bodices over the loose, straight fronted corsets of today. "Hourglass" Walst Not Likely. It has been loudly whispered that with the revival of 1880 styles we should surely have a return of "hourglass" waists, but this is not at all the case. It is, of course, true that at the 1880 period very small waists were fashionable and extremely large hips. It was indeed the hourglass outline. But the Parisiennes have no intention of returning to that. They are, or rather their dressmakers, are simply adapting 1880 fashions to present day figures, and the results are really admirable. The smart woman of today looks rather like a grown up child who has come A One of the latest Parisian styles of hair dressing. The unwaved hair is drawn back from the face, a light, straight fringe failing over the forehead. into the salon in her school pinafore. The dress seems to hang in straight lines from the shoulder to knees; the hips seem little larger than the waist and the whole figure looks frankly boyish. In a model worn at the Deauville races the underskirt was in midnight blue charmeuse. Then there was a folded sash in black chiffon velvet molding the hips and from this sash a wide flounce of black chantilly depended. The charmeuse corsage molded the figure with extraordinary accuracy and it was buttoned right down the front with little balls of blue enamel. The sleeves were quite short and very long gloves in pearl gray suede were worn. The flat brimmed hat was covered with black velvet and trimmed with a single purple-pink rose of great beauty. ONE WAY TO DEFY RAINY DAY Ingenious Hostess, on Such Lamentable Occasions, Organizes "Circus" for Amusement. Every hostess has a feeling akin to panic when she finds a downpour setting in for the day and her rain-bound guests wandering disconcertedly through the house fretting about the weather. The girl who wants to shine as an entertainer then will have in mind plans that can be worked out on such occasions to dispel the pervading gloom. One house party kept indoors quickly organized a "circus." Home-made circus posters were hung throughout the house, with a notice beneath that the greatest show on earth would give two performances, matinee and evening, and that all the guests must attend and come prepared to do a "stunt." The liveliest man in the party acted as ringmaster. Now "stunts," it was discovered, cover a wide range of accomplishments, and ridiculous feats were the most successful. Some did sleight-of-hand and tricks with cards. One dignified gentleman said the only stunt he could do was to wiggle his ears, which he did, convulsing the audience with laughter. Ear-wigging is not counted a drawing-room accomplishment, but at any rate few persons can do it, and this was voted a "star act." After the show in the evening the performers were taken to the room, old-fashioned kitchen, where real circus fare awaited them. Sandwiches were served, and peanuts, pink (grape juice) lemonade, hot sausages (though that is not their circus name), popcorn, ice cream cones—but every one knows what is eaten at the circus. The "big tent" effect was heightened by sawdust and bunting. The Cape's the Thing Gray liberty satin is smart. Gray capes are lined with yellow. Waistcoat and surplice fronts are a feature. The purely ornamental lace capes have no fronts at all. These seem to be stuck on the shoulders with bits of plaster. For just now caps of taffeta in lovely hues are featured at the resorts. ciation, has a laboratory at Bowling Green, Ky., where only women are employed.

"Why did you take out the mirrors you had around your soda fountain?" "They hurt the business. When ever a woman saw how she locked in haling a drink through a straw she'd never come back to do it again." Speaking of Suffracettes. A lady of great beauty and attractiveness, who was an ardent admirer of Ireland, once crowned her praise of it at a party by saying: "I think I was meant for an Irishwoman." "Madam." rejoined a witty son of Erin, who happened to be present, "thousands would back me in saying that you were meant for an Irishman." Explained. "I hear that you have a college graduate for a cook. Isn't that rather expensive?" "Not very. She works for her board and clothes." "Why, how does she come to do that?" "She's my wife."—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. A Stay-at-Home. "Of course, I'd like to vote," said Mrs. McGudley. "But I dunno'd I ever get a chance to exercise my right to vote even if I had it." "Couldn't you go to the polls and cast your ballot, like anybody else?" "No. If everybody voted all the help in the house would be sure to want the day off every time there was an election." Fatal Disease. A young painter who had just finished a picture insisted upon a friend calling to see it. "There, now," enthused the artist, "you see my new picture. What's the matter with that?" "I don't know," replied the bored friend, "but I should say it was a case of art failure."—National Monthly. Saving Labor. "The automobile is a great boon to the poor, overworked horse," said the sympathetic woman. "Yes," replied Mr. Chuggins; "but while it is making life easy for the horse, it has three or four human beings busy day and night keeping the machine in repair." Nothing Softens Him "Tompkins seems to have an incurable grouch." "I agree with you. I've known him to eat a meal that would delight an epicure, toss off a glass of cordial, light a 25-cent cigar and start right in knocking humanity." Not a Rash Promise. "Do you think you will be able to provide for my daughter's wants and necessities?" asked the proud parent. "I don't know about her wants." answered the prudent young man, "but I will be able to provide for her necessities." Philosophers and Optimists. "What is the difference between a philosopher and an optimist?" "Well, a philosopher takes things as they come, while an optimist, if they come with the dark side uppermost, turns them over." His Record. "We want plenty of energy in our business. Has this fellow you're recommending any go in him?" "Any go! There isn't a speed law in ten adjacent states that he hasn't fractured."

Sweet Innocent Alice—Why are you taking up botany? Kitty—Because my fiance is interested in a plant of some kind and I want to be able to converse intelligently with him about his business.
