IN VULCAN FREED FROM THE WREATH WHITMAN IS VICTOR IN NEW YORK STATE Republican Candidate Is Elected Governor Over Glynn, Democrat, Sutzer, Independent, and Davenport, Progressive. PENROSE RE-ELECTED IN PENNSYLVANIA Senator Is Returned to Upper Branch of Congress by a Large Majority, While Brumbaugh, Republican Candidate for Governor, Is State's Executive. New York City.—Charles S. Whitman, Republican, was elected governor by a plurality of 129,642 over Martin H. Glynn, Democrat. James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Republican, defeated James W. Gerard. Democrat, by a plurality of probably 55,000, and the Republicans were given control of both branches of the legislature in a great Republican landslide which swept New York state Tuesday. CHARLES S. WHITMAN. The Democratic representation in the house of representatives was reduced from 31 to 23. The state senate probably will contain 32 Republicans and 19 Democrats. The new state officers who will go in with Gov. Whitman will be: Lieutenant governor, Edward Schoenke; secretary of state, Francis M. Hugo; comptroller, Eugene M. Travis; treasurer, James L. Wells; attorney general, Egbert E. Woodbury; engineer and surveyor, Frank M. Williams. Emery A. Chase was elected associate judge of the court of appeals by an estimated plurality of 40,000. REPUBLICANS WIN IN PENNSY Philadelphia, Pa.—Pennsylvania Republicans swept into power by such a landslide in Tuesday's election that the Washington party, the name of the Bull Moose contingent in the Keystone state, is practically wiped out of existence. Indications are that Senator Boies Penrose was elected by four times as many votes as were SENATOR BOIES PENROSE, polled by Gifford Pinchot, the Roosevelt candidate, and A. Mitchell Palmer, the Wilson standard bearer, combined. For governor the Republicans gave Martin B. Brumbaugh as large a vote as they did Penrose for senator. The Democratic candidate was Vance C. McCormick and the Progressive was William Draper Lewis. The result is considered especially significant in view of the fact that President Wilson came out very strongly for the election of Palmer to the senate, while Theodore Roosevelt made especially strenuous efforts to insure the election of Pinchot. Saratoga, N. Y. — F. Augustus Heinze, copper king and financier, died at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday at the home of Judge Nash Rockwood, Mr Heinze, whose legal residence was in Saratoga although he spent most of his time in New York, came here Tuesday afternoon to vote in the state election. He went to Judge Rockwood's home as a guest and was suddenly stricken late in the afternoon, growing steadily worse through the night and being unconscious most of Wednesday. THE GAZETTE WILLIS' PLURALITY OVER COX IS 30,000 Warden G. Herding Is Elected United States Senator by a Plurality Over Timothy S. Megan of About 75,000. HOME RULE AMENDMENT IS ADOPTED Republicans Elect Majority of Their Twenty-eight Candidates for Members of Congress, Capture Both Branches of Legislature and Put in Office Entire State Ticket. ELECTION RESULTS IN OHIO. For governor—Congressman Frank B. Willis, Republican, elected over the present incumbent, James M. Cox, Democrat, and James R. Garfield, Progressive. Republicans carry 13 out of the 22 congressional districts. Republicans elect the entire state ticket. Amendment asking for state-wide prohibition defeated. Amendment asking for woman suffrage defeated. Amendment asking special tax levy defeated. Amendment asking for home rule, a recognized wet proposition, adopted. Columbus, O.—Frank B. Willis of Ada has been elected governor over James M. Cox by a plurality that appears to be about 30,000. Warren G. Harding has been elected United States senator by a plurality over Timothy S. Hogan of about 75,000. The rest of the state ticket was carried to an easy victory in the sweep. Not only was it assured that Frank B. Willis was elected governor over James M. Cox by a net plurality of approximately 30,000 votes, and that Warren G. Harding has defeated Timothy S. Hogan by probably 75,000, but it appeared certain that Republican had elected a majority of their 22 candidates for members of congress, had captured both branches of the general assembly and had swept into office the Republican candidates for county officers in probably 50 of the 88 counties. Home Rule Amendment Carries. When Hamilton county rolled up a majority of 68,000 for home rule the day was saved for the amendment. Early returns indicated the defeat of the amendments, but the returns from the country districts against home rule have not been heavy enough to offset the big majorities rolled up in favor of the amendment in the cities. At wet headquarters it was estimated that home rule will win by 10,000 at the least. The Anti-Saloon League issued a statement admitting that the returns still to be heard from cannot overcome the lead attained by the advocates of the amendment. 1910 The suffrage, tax and prohibition amendments were decisively deafed. Republicans have probably elected, moreover, their three candidates for members of the supreme court, Frank Taggart of Wooster, candidate for chief justice, and Thomas A. Jones of Jackson and Edward Matthias of Van Wert, candidates for associate justices. The election of Jones and Matthias by large pluralities over Phil M. Crow, Kenton, and J. Foster Wilkin, New Philadelphia, Democratic nominees, is assured, but there is still some doubt of the defeat of Chief Justice Nichols, the Democratic candidate. If the three Republicans are elected the number of Republicans and Democrats on the supreme bench will be equal. Judge R. M. Wanamaker, the seventh member, is a Progressive. Cox Congratulates Willis. The election wrought a complete change in state affairs, ousting the Democrats, who have been in control Blind, But Casts Ballot. New York City.—Perhaps the most unusual method of voting used in Tuesday's election was that invented by a former traffic policeman who is now totally blind. He procured a sample ballot the same size as the regular ballot. Holes were cut in the sample ballot in the squares where the former bluecoat wished to mark his crosses. Entering the polling booth with the regular ballot the blind voter placed the sample over it and marked his crosses through the holes. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. DR. SCARBOROUGH DEFENDS SCHOOL DR. SCARBOROUGH DEFENDS SCHOOL President of Wilberforce Replies to Magazine Article. EXPLAINS TRUE SITUATION. Unwarranted Attack on Noted Ohio Institution Greatly Displeases Alumni and Undergraduates — Wilberforce University With All Departments is Simply One Institution. Wilberforce — The indignation of Wilberforce university and a large body of alumni and undergraduates at the article under the caption "The New Wilberforce" found in the Crisis for August compels a reply, though we well know that unsigned articles anywhere usually merit only silent contempt unless the editor gives a tangible hold by becoming sponsor for them, says President William S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university. In such an article we are accustomed to seek at once the motives inspiring it. In this case we are wondering whether it was inspired by a malicious desire to strike the college department in particular, to belltake what it has done and injure its standing and work for higher education, or by a piqued spirit which sees an opportunity for retaliation, or by a spirit which thus repays personal favors through questionable eulogisms, or was it real, unadulterated ignorance steeped in egotism? We must leave it for readers and those generally acquainted with the situation to judge. One thing is true, however. No one is a real friend to the university or to any of its individual departments who DR. W. S. SCARBOROUGH. would strive thus publicly to magnify the work of any one department at the expense of another. And for any one to cull deliberately, isolate and twist facts to make it appear that there is but one department at Wilberforce that is worth while and to try to convey that it is not a part of Wilberforce, but a distinct school, is, to speak mildly, an unmilitated attempt to slander the whole institution, no matter what the motive. It becomes an attack that cannot be overlooked. Wilberforce has done much recently to honor the scholarly editor of the Crisis, and it has always stanchly upheld the cause and the association his magazine represents. Not three months ago it invited him to be one of the speakers during its commencement, and it readily acquiesced in his selection as one of the lecturers in the summer school (for the second time) in the department he eulogizes at $175 for five lectures. Wilberforce university is indeed courteously (?) repaid for this by the grateful editor. One thing we state at the outset. The "New Wilberforce" has been a verity for some years. It is Wilberforce university—the whole institution with all its departments and not simply one of them. No part can be greater than the whole. The determination of enemies, internal and external, to try to swallow up, to ignore, to misrepresent the very department that is the genesis of the whole, giving birth to all the others and fostering their growth, the part that stands for higher education—this determination all authorities here are agreed must not only be condemned, but put down. The department the article in the Crisis seeks to put for the whole and which calls forth such effusive praise was placed here by the state of Ohio in 1887, because it wished to help Wilberforce university, and this was the only way it could do so, and because it was just and right for it to be of service to us as we did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant under the Morrill act, which properly belonged to us, but which share went to Ohio State university. It was never intended to be an independent department, and it is not one now. The authorities, one and all, recognize that Wilberforce university with all its departments is a unit and not a conglomerate—n unit with but one bead, and that one the president of the university. The article in question is full of distortion. Facts are partially stated or omitted or put in wrong relations. The jumbled confusion of statements of the work done, of buildings, of cuts, of culled quotations—all seen seemingly used to mislead a public ignorant of the true relations that exist here and of the true work and workers. For example, the fact that the financial office of the C. N. and I. department is combined with that of the superintendency is due to no one's personality. It was so fixed by law some time ago, as was the bond to be given, and it has obtained for years. The sum mentioned as given in the last four years by the state includes moneys appropriated before that time for building purposes, but not available until later. We are proud of our senior cottage, arrangements and appropriations for the building of which were completed some years ago by the state, but one would infer from the writer's article that Emery hall was also a creation of the department he enologizes. This is not so, however. The funds—over $50,000—were raised by the efforts of the president and friends, and this dormitory for the girls of the college department is the one especially considered by all authorities to be the "most completely equipped dormitory to be found anywhere in any Negro institution." The military wing of our university, a cut of which embellishes the article in the Crisis, is a department that any institution may be proud of, but it is no creation of the department picked out for special laudation, as those unacquainted with the facts might regard it from the connection made. The United States government is pleased to maintain it still under the best of Negro instructors, paying all expenses, and has recently appointed Lieutenant B. O. Davis of the Ninth United States cavalry for the second time to take charge of it. The paragraph referring to enrollment is marbled so as to present a false idea. Figures certainly have no inherent power to falsify, but they may be made to say anything. Our enrollment for 1913-14 was 403. We do not pad our rolls. But there was no such increase as 16 per cent in any department to the knowledge of the president or the faculty. We have increased our enrollment yearly, we are pleased to say, and this increase has been most largely from without the state (over 300 last year), and the greatest per cent of increase anywhere is found in the college classes. The state of Ohio helps Wilberforce university by sustaining a department which has been gradually built up since 1887 through long years of labor and earnest work of those in charge. We are gratified at this confidence shown by the state in our entire work. We hope for more help. It is true, however, that the college needs funds. So does every institution for higher education in the land. It is no crime to need money. It is an easy matter, however, to sit down and spend money under direction or without it when one does not raise his hand to get it, but no recipient of such favors should congratulate himself upon unusual ability because of this condition. nor should he use the situation to "crow over" or to hurt any department which has to hustle to gather funds from philanthropy for its work. With such an attitude and similar statements from overzealous friends (?) Wilberforce university is apt to be more hindered than helped in its work. It can well exclaim, "Good Lord, deliver us from such friends." BELIEVES IN SCHOOL'S WORK Liberal Policy at the Wilberforce (O.) University Highly Commended. Wilberforce, O. President W. S. Scarborough, Wilberforce University: Dear Sir—The members of the board of education of Xenia school district and others who accompanied us on our delightful visit to this great university desire to express our high appreciation of the singular courtesy shown in our invitation. In our reception and in our entertainment. We desire to express also our firm belief in the importance of the work which the university is doing and in the faithfulness and ability with which it is being done. Particularly do we express our gratitude for the opportunity so generously afforded to pupils of the Xenia high school to pursue work in the university. XENIA SCHOOL BOARD. Manager Newport News Star Resigns H. C. Young, who has been serving in the capacity of business manager of the Star at Newport News, Va., for some time, has resigned. In speaking editorially of Mr. Young's leave taking, Editor Matt N. Lewis of the Star says, "With this issue of the Star, Sept. 25, our manager, H. C. Young, severs his relation with this paper and goes back to Norfolk to take up the work which he left when he came to us. We are thoroughly convinced that newspaper men who make a success must be born to the work and the practice, but increase their innate efficiency. All we can do is to hope that we may be able to find the person who shall be the star office and carry it on as efficiently and successfully as Mr. Young has done during the several months he has had the management." Big Victory For Anti-saloon League. At the September election in Virginia the Anti-saloon league of the state won a great victory over the liquor interests of the state. The law against the sale of intoxicating beverages in the state goes into effect the 1st of November. 1916. Women's Christian Temperance unions throughout the country are rejoicing over the victory of the Virginia organization and will fight the liquor sellers in their respective communities with renewed determination. ECONOMY IN USE OF SCHOOL FUNDS Progress of a North Carolina Institution Noted INFLUENCE OF GRADUATES. Agricultural and Mechanical College at Greensboro Shows Increase in All Departments—Success of President James B. Dudley as Educator and Defender of Human Rights. By GEORGE F. KING. Greensboro, N. C.-The North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical college in this city, for the education of colored youth, begins the fall term with an increase in all departments. The faculty is composed of well known educators, and the school ranks among the best in this section of the country. Graduates of this school are to be found among the leaders of the race in many states. They are holding positions of trust and responsibility and are making good along lines of useful endeavor. Through the good work P. DR JAMES B. DUDLEY. which the alumna is doing the school has become wildly known throughout the state and the nation. The funds provided by the state for the use of the institution are economically and wisely expended. The president of the school, Dr. James B. Dudley, is a man of great executive ability, and his influence in the south argues for much in favor of the amicable relations existing between the two races in this section. He has been at the head of this school for the past eighteen years. Dr. Dudley is devoting much time and energy at the present time to the movement in this state having for its object better accommodations for the colored people on the railroads. He takes a manly stand against anything which tends to degrade or in any way retard the progress of the race. Some time ago, when the attempt to segregate the colored farmers was made, Dr. Dudley was foremost in defending their rights against this jim Crow policy. He does not seek to stir up strife, but bases his efforts on the law as it relates to each citizen's rights to pursue his chosen calling without being molested, so long as such rights do not infringe upon the privileges of others. He has a host of friends among the masses of both races and is a true exponent of the gospel of fair play for every man, regardless of race, creed or color. He believes in law and order; hence his wise counsel has been of great service to the colored people in this city and state. Wherever there is an attempt in any part of North Carolina to supplant members of his race by the employment of foreign labor Dr. Dudley is at the front pleading the cause of the colored laborer against injustice and race discrimination. Industrial education is impartial in the bestowal of its blessings. It offers its gifts to the people of every race or clime without restriction, and to the colored people of the south its offerings have a peculiar significance, says Dr. Dudley. The older men of the race who were leading men, hants and workmen among them wrought well in their day. They were masters of the art of getting good results. With the disappearance of the old guard the field for the Negro mechanic has been greatly reduced. They are being displaced in many sections by foreigners. This is a serious loss to our people, yet there is encouragement in the fact that we have it within our power to arrest this serious loss by thorough preparation which will enable our people to compete with any class of workmen that may come among us. Efficiency is the watchword of the age. The prepared man gets the job, and the man who can fill the requirements in promptness, exactness, honesty and reliability will not only get the job, but will hold it. The progress of the race thus far is due almost entirely to the fact that we early grasped the split of education and industrial pursuit, and if we continue to cultivate this spirit our future progress will be far greater. Hard training for special lines of work, a better knowledge of values and the courage of honest conviction will do much to sustain us in the great struggle of the survival of the fittest.

Cox conceded his defeat, though he and his friends had hoped for victory all through the night. As quickly as he had decided the fight was over he wired this message of congratulation to Frank B. Willis: "I congratulate you upon your selection to assume the executive affairs of the greatest commonwealth and the most splendid people in the world." "Please accept my sincere thanks for your cordial message of congratulation," was the answer of the governor-elect.

Hats off! to the Rev. Frederick Taylor (white) of Indianapolis. He is right, too. See Cincinnati letter, elsewhere in this paper. Our ministers can give his remarks consideration and benefit the race. Prof. C. H. Moore of Reidsville, N.C., used nearly two columns of space on the first page of the Washington (D. C.) Sun of Oct. 30, in a too apparent effort to toddy to Dr. Booker T. Washington. He incorrectly charged The Gazette with holding Mr. Washington "responsible for the disfranchisement of the Negro voter in the South" and proceeded to punish the Sun with a long, windy communication founded on a false basis. Ap parenthey is he a fine sample of our educated "trucklers." They are a bane of the race. By the way, can you imagine Editor Timothy Thomas Fortune, of the Sun crying he "sees double like the horse," and "taking to the woods" in the discussion of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his quasit endorsement of segregation? Well he did it, just the same A REPUBLICAN "LANDSLIDE." Just as The Gazette predicted, repeatedly, during the campaign which closed so gloriously on Tuesday, victory has perched on the banner of the grand old Republican party throughout the North and at some places in the South. If it did not show itself in a wholesale election of candidates, it did so in a magnificent advance in the total vote of states and in a wonderful decrease of the alleged "Progressive" party vote all over the country. All of which is very pleasing and encouraging for the future. The gain in the Congress representation (in both branches) is the best thing for the business of the country that could possibly have happened. The success of the Ohio Republican ticket, particularly the election of Governor-elect Frank B. Willis and U. S. Senator-elect Warren G. Harding, our former colleagues in the Ohio Legislature, is all that is needed to enable "Buckeye" Republicans to "come back" and swing this grand old Commonwealth back into the Republican ranks to stay for another long term of years. The State Assembly has been regained, too, and will have a working Republican majority in both branches. Ohio will have between ten and fifteen, if not more, of the twenty-two Republican members in the lower house of the next Congress, instead of only three as at present. Tuesday was indeed a glorious day. The only "crimp" in our joyous feel 'ing is the failure of Columbus and Cleveland to elect their Afro-American candidates for the Legislature. We need some "one of the race, so greatly, in that august body, these days. While Franklin county elected a few of its Republican candidates, this Cuyahoga county, elected an entire Democratic delegation to the State Assembly as well as county ticket. There are at least two causes: a poor ticket and poorer management of the campaign. This last caused (largely) the Democratic state ticket, particularly Gov. Cox and Attorney General Timothy Hogan, candidate for U. S. Senator, to carry the county by pluralities ranging between 15,000 and 20,000. In all our many years' residence in this city, as a voter, we have never known Afro-Americans here- to vote so freely and openly for a Democratic candidate for governor as they did on Tuesday last. This can be traced, and easily too, to miserably poor management, doubtless the result primarily of ignorance of political methods, etc., on the part of the individual of color charged particularly with the supervision and care of our vote not only in Cleveland but throughout the state. It ought to be a lesson to those (whites) in the Republican party, here in Cleveland, responsible for the foisting of the individual on the Afro-Americans of Cleveland and Ohio, as well as on the Republican party of the state, as a local and state political adviser (member of the State Republican Executive Committee). Messrs. Harding and Willis, be said to their everlasting credit, endeavored to avoid this very credit, and would have succeeded but for the action of one Harry L. Davis, the first defeated (by nearly 6,000 plurality) candidate for mayor of Cleveland, and present member of the State Republican Executive Committee from the twenty-first district (Cleveland), who made the selection in spite of their pub- lished request that he not do so. Therefore, on his shoulders should be placed the blame for much of the large Cox and Hogan (Democratic) plurality in this, Cuyahoga county, on Tuesday. WHEN WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DIE? When the lion lions grass like an ox And the fishworm swallows the whale; When terrapins knit woolen sox And the hare is outrun by the snail. When serpents walk upright like men And the doodle-bugs travel like frogs; When grasshoppers feed on the hen And feathers are found on the hog. When Thomas cats swim in the air And elephants roost on trees; When insects in summer are rare And snuff never makes people sneeze. When fish creep over dry land And mules on bicycles ride; When foxes lay eggs in the sand And women in dress take no pride. When Dutchmen no longer drink beer And girls get to preaching on time; When billygoats butt from the rear And treason is no longer a crime. When humming birds bray like an ass And limburger smells like cologne; When plowshares are made of glass And the hearts of Indianians are stone. When ideas grow in dummies' heads And wool on the hydraulic ram; Then the Republican party will be dead And the country won't be worth a d—m! Addressed by Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, Colleague of Hon. Frank B. Willis in the Ohio Legislature. The gifted Colored Republican orator of Cleveland, Harry C. Smith, came into Warren County last Friday and made three memorable addresses, one in Henderson Hall, Lebanon, one at Harvesburg and the third at Waynesville. All three houses were packed to their utmost capacity, but not a man left until the last word was spoken. Mr. Smith was a member of the General Assembly for three terms, serving in the House with Frank B. He is the stalwart Republican and one of the best platform speakers in the state. If he returns to Lebanon he will easily fill the Opera House. It is of great credit to the Colored race that two of the greatest orators who have appeared in the county this year were of their race. We refer to them as the "Orators," llamas, pastor of Allen Temple, A. M. E. Church, Cincinnati, who spoke for Prohibition some weeks ago, and who will return next Saturday for an afternoon meeting here and an evening meeting in Harviesburg. They would be a creature to the people of any race. (Johnson.) Western Star, Oct. 29, 1914. COLORED ATTORNEY SPONSOR. For the First Time One Introduces a White Conquest to the U. S. and the World. Washington, D. C.—For the first time in the history of the U. S. Supreme Court a colored attorney, last week, moved the admission of a white attorney to practice before the court. William R. Stewart, Esq., of youngstown, O., was admitted to practice, on Oct. 28, in connection with a damage suit brought by James Welsh, of Youngstown, against the Erie Railroad, and, Oct. 29, Stewart moved the admission to practice of Emil J. Anderson, another Youngstown attorney. Until recent years there have been very few cases practiced in the highest court. Each year, however, records an increasing number of colored attorneys of sufficient caliber to have business before the Supreme Court. For a colored attorney to stand sponsor, however, for a "Caucasian" seems to have been without precedent. SCORES MINISTERS FOR CALL- ING ON WIVES Ohio Pastor Says Scriptures Make No Notice of Afternoon Visits. Cincinnati, O.—Rev. Frederick Taylor, Indianapolis pastor, on Oct. 27, told ministers (white) assembled at the interdenominational institute at the Ninth Street Baptist church "the practice of ministers going from house to house making afternoon calls on church women while their husbands are at work causes more trouble for the church than it does good. This calling business may possibly suit some men but not me," he said with much vigor. "I wish it could be the man who started it. There is nothing about afternoon calls in the Scriptures. I go downtown to see the men in their places of business. You cannot get this sort of fish with a net, you have to use a hook and line—but, when you do land him, you feel that you have done something. The other way is harmful." A. Founder Dead.

Condition of the School Laid Before Trustees by Principal Washington. Dr. Booker T. Washington's annual report to the trustees of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute for the fiscal year of 1914, recently issued, covers in detail every phase of the institution's activities. At the very outset Principal Washington says: While both the extension and publicity work are costly, nevertheless from every point of view it is believed that such work pays. Our justification for large expenditures in these two directions is found in the fact that but for the activity of Hampton and Tuskegee in keeping the cause of Negro education before the people in the north and south interest in the subject would be waning instead of waxing as it is. In a word, every dollar that these two institutions expend in extension work and publicity is helping all the institutions in the south and the whole subject of Negro education. Indeed not a few of the most prominent white people in the south have expressed the opinion both in private and in public that both races in the south are constantly indebted to these institutions for newer and better methods of education. At the close of the school term, May 28, 1914, we had registered a total enrollment of 1,527-806 men and 631 women—who came from thirty-two states and territories and seventeen foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. In addition to the attendance in the institute proper the average attendance at the Children's House, our training school, was 201; the average attendance during the agricultural short course was 275, and the average attendance during the summer school last year was 412. During the past ten years the colored farmers of the south have made the greatest progress since emancipation in getting farm property. The results of investigation show that in the single state of Alabama the Negro owns 1,500,000 acres of land, an increase of 250,000 acres in ten years. The value of domestic animals which they own in the south increased in ten years from $85,216,337 to $177,273,785. poultry from $7,878,793 to $5,113,756 and implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $36,801,418. The values of land and buildings have increased from $99,630,420 to $737,501,665. From 1900 to 1910 the total value of farm property owned by the colored farmers of the south increased from $177,404,688 to $492,989,218. The new hospital at Tuskegee is demonstrating its usefulness not only to the student and teaching body, but to the colored people in many parts of the south. Among the purposes it is serving are disease prevention, training of a large number of nurses, opportunity for young colored interns to be trained, and furnishing a place where colored people, especially those demanding surgical treatment, can receive the best attention. The urgent needs of the institute, says Dr. Washington, are $50 a year for annual scholarships for tuition for one student, the student himself providing for his own board and other personal expenses in labor and cash; $1,200 for permanent scholarships; money for operating expenses in any amounts, however small; $1,500 for teachers' cotages; $40,000 for a building for religious purposes; $16,000 to complete the boys' trade building; $50,000 for a boys' dormitory; $50,000 for a girls' dormitory; an addition at least $3,000,000 to the endowment fund. The effectiveness of the work of the institute would be many times increased if funds for a new dormitory for boys to cost about $50,000 and $5,000 for a veterinary hospital could be secured. Legacies paid in part or in full during the year amounted to $64,117.90. Other legacies, notice of which was not received prior to June, 1913, which also have been paid in full or in part, amounted to $86,018.06. The total receipts for the year, including current expenses, were $473,764.92. The endowment fund at the present time is $1,942,112.08. For further details of the school's financial condition Dr. Washington refers to the treasurer's report. His Alphabetical Family. His Alphabetical Assistant City Prosecutor Souhrada of Chicago, in explaining his late attendance in court told the judge that "the stork supplied the letter 'D' to my alphabetical family this morning." "How's that?" asked the court. "Well, we've got all the letters up to 'H' now. 'D' was missing, so we named the new arrival Daniel. He's as fine a boy as you ever saw." He named his children over for the judge. They are: Albert, Bernadetta, Charles, Daniel, Elsie, Frank, George and Helen. "When will Z be represented?" asked the court. "I give it up." laughed the prosecutor. If you knew Nelson's Hair Dressing as we do you would never use anything else on your hair.

A Massillon, O., man (white) is president of the coal com- pany that erected the new building.

The Carnegie Hero Fund has recently awarded a passion to a president of Mrs. Henry West, whose husband was killed at Asbury Park, N. J., at a railroad crossing, Sept. 27, 1913, while saving the lives of two white children. For the first time in Florida's history a white man has, been convicted of murdering a Negro. Three white men, Ben McDaniel, B. M. Franklin and Math Davis, were convicted at Blountstown, Calhoun County, Fla., Oct. 27, of killing Eunice Johnson, whose body was found in a creek. Another Negro, a maternal witness, was convicted. They were not tried on that charge. They will probably be given life imprisonment. The two hundred Negro laymen and ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church who met in Nashville, Oct. 21 and 22 to consider the future status of the 300,000 Negro members of the denomination, put themselves on record as favoring the election of Negro bishops for our churches and for the establishment of a jurisdictional or quadrennial committee to oversee Negro membership, with identical powers and privileges as the white powers and privileges as the white powers. Dr. H. R. White, addressing the National Colored Chauauqua at the Ninth Street Baptist church, Cincinnati, recently declared it was his opinion that the colored children were through the mixed schools of whites and blacks than by being taught in a separate building. The finer nature of the white children, Dr. White said, has a noticeable effect on the Negro children. He also practiced in the home first. The other speakers were Dr. W. E. Blackwell of the Zion M. E. church and Dr. David Bohannen of Chicago. Frozen Without Ice.

Now let our people keep it up until they wipe out the "color-lines" at Luna Park. The Du Bois Literary club met at Mrs. Rogers', E. 63d Et. Wednesday afternoon. The following persons were elected to active membership: Mrs. Della Eubanks, Mrs. Jas. Tilley, Mrs. Hattie Fairax and Mrs. Elizabeth Gordon. Miss Rachel Walker of London and Paris, who has returned to her old home to re-locate, was elected an honorary member of the club. Plans for the season were laid and great success is anticipated. The organization desires to thank all who contributed to the success of its recent concert at Cory M. E. church, when Miss Walker was presented. * * * Dr. Frank Johnson of Cincinnati and B. F. Stewart of Norwalk, who has a job as messenger in one of the state offices at Columbus held for several months by his son, were the speakers at the Afro-American democratic meeting held in Teutonia hall, last week Friday evening. It was the largest est race meeting held in this city during the campaign, completely overshadowing the three meetings held in Woodloft (ideal) hall, the past three months, in which public candidates. That doubtless accounts for the astonishingly large support given Gov. Cox, Timothy Hogan, Sheriff Smith and other democratic candidates, up Central Ave., on election day. Fleming, as a member of the Executive Committee, local and state, was so marked a failure that it is a matter of common comment in that vicinity as well as elsewhere in city and state and the twenty bars of the Ideal hall, the twenty evening, came near precipitating a riot and practically broke up that Afro-American Republican upet it is said. Only two speakers (white) were in attendance and they got out in a hurry. No wonder Gov. Cox got such a surprisingly large vote in this county, and the local democratic ticket was elected to a man, Tuesday. Harry L. Davis (white) is responsible for the appointment of Fleming as member of the State Republican Executive Committee.

HOW ABOUT YOUR Personal Appearance—Have You Pride In It—If So, Give This a Trial. The advertisement of the Nelson Manufacturing Co. of Richmond, Va., which will be found in another column takes a pride in their personal appearance. They are the originators of Nelson's Hair Dressing, a preparation that is sold in every state in the Union. It has been on the market for nearly twenty years and, today, has probably the largest sale of any preparation of its kind. Such a remarkable success will be possible unless the article had real merit. Many of our readers have no doubt used it and know of its value. Those who have not used it and would like to test it, can do so without cost, as the manufacturers offer to send any reader of this paper a liberal free sample, if they will enclose a two-cent stamp to the postage, and mention this paper.

MILITARISM HAS NO PLACE Stern Indictment of Existing Order of Things Put Forth by Writer of Authority. The world shudders and lifts a hand that trembles from the very awfulness of war. An armature follows, the poets think that had been men—lovers, husbands, fathers—are gathered in all their hideous, mangled loathsomenes and buried. Ten men sit around a council table. The issue is still the shame, right is right, wrong is wrong. Both sides give and take. A treat settles what a thousand battles could not solve. Debt, taxes, pensions, be reavement and poverty, follow in an awful train, and so nations build an another army and navy to insure and protect peace. And the world hugs it mad deusion and squanders the suitance of its people for a life; for a life, either way you view it. If we are truly civilized, really, the product of the constructive forces of thought and intelligence, then militarism has no rightful place in our scheme of things And if militarism is by any possible argument justified, then we are not civilized; we are savages disguised by a veneer of culture; we are barbarians and patrons of the earth, shreds and patches."—Dr. Thomas E. Green in "Imbecility of Militarism." HAD TO PROVE THE HABIT Man Who Had Allowed Himself the Practice of Keeping Left Eye Closed, Got in Much Trouble. Physicians of Birmingham, Ala., recently called attention to the case of Thomas Armstrong, a boy of twelve years, who uses his hands as well as his feet for locomotion instead of walking erect. He has never known any other way of getting about. The juvenile court took the boy in charge in the hope of teaching him normal walking methods. Charles Appleton of New Orleans was the subject of illustration at a lecture given by a physician in that city not long ago. He had contracted the habit of closing his left eye. He said it rested his sight, he fancied, the left eye being the weaker of the two. The habit grew until he was not using it for reading purposes. At the lecture 'it was recited that everything had been done to break him of the habit, but without success, until he met with an adventure on a street car that ruffled him considerably. A woman boarded the car on which he was a passenger. He had his left eye closed as usual. She casually glanced at Appleton and remarked the closed eye without there seeming to be any cause for an apparent affliction. She looked once or twice again and made such an impression on Appleton that he was startled out of his habit and opened his eye. The woman looked, started, denounced him as a filtrer, complained to the conductor, waxed angrier the more she thought of the affair and finally had Appleton arrested. He had to prove his peculiar habit in order to escape WORK OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES Educators to Hold Meeting In Washington. WHAT THEY WILL DISCUSS. Representatives of the Various Schools Which Receive Government Aid Eager to Know South's Attitude on Smith-Lever Bill—Commissioner P. P. Claxton Among the Speakers. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Washington—The fourth annual conference of the representatives of the Negro land grant colleges will be held in Library hall on the campus of Howard university in this city on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 11 and 12. Professor Byrd Prillerman of West Virginia, chairman of the conference, is making an effort to have all the land grant schools represented. The subject of special interest be- fore this conference will be the Smith- Lever bill, which was passed by congress last winter. This bill makes ample provision for extension work among the farmers of the country, but, unlike the Morrill and the Nelson bills, it makes no special provision for the Negro. The distribution of this fund is left entirely to the states. Just what attitude the southern states will assume toward the Negro in the distribution of this fund is being watched with a great deal of interest, since it affects the interest of at least 7,000,000 colored people. The Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations will meet in the New Willard hotel Nov. 11, 12 and 13. The representatives from the Negro land grant colleges are eligible to membership in this association and will attend its PETER B. BURKE MAJOR R. R. WRIGHT. meetings mornings and evenings. Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, has been invited to address this special conference of the Negro representatives in Library hall at Howard university Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 11, at 2 o'clock. Chairman Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Colored institute, will preside. The address of welcome will be delivered by Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Science, and the response will be made by Professor W. C. Jason of Delaware. Following these addresses the representatives from the various schools, sixteen in number, will make brief reports concerning their work for the past year. The subjects and speakers for Thursday afternoon will be: "What Standards of Scholarship Shall We Expect of the Negro Land Grant College?" Led by President R. R. Wright of Georgia and President R. S. Wilkinson of South Carolina. "The Purpose of Industrial Education — Vocational, Educational, or Both?" Led by President James B. Dudley of North Carolina and President W. S. Buchanan of Alabama. "What Industrial Courses Are Most Profitable Educationally and Vocationally?" Professor F. H. Cardozo of Florida. "What Industrial Courses Are Most Popular With the Students?" "What Should Be the Minimum Requirements in Scholarship For Admission to These Schools?" "What Benefit Will Your School Receive From the Smith-Lever Bill?" will be discussed. "The Negro land grant college is the outgrowth of the congressional land grant act of 1882. This measure was introduced into the United States congress by the late Senator Justin Smith Morrill of Vermont in 1857 and finally passed in 1862. The bill granted public lands for the founding of state colleges to teach agriculture and the mechanic arts and allied subjects. An additional grant was made by an act introduced by Senator Morrill in 1890, which provided that in states and territories in which separate schools were maintained for white and Negro youth an equitable distribution of the fund be made between the two races. The act carried with it an appropriation of $25,000 a year from the federal government. The Duke's Question. The delicate operation of separating the French Slamese twins, which has just been successfully performed recalls Lord Houghton's story of a duke of St. Albans who went to inspect the original Slamese twins. The tale is retold in the London Express. The duke looked at the two boys, and then turned to their showman. "Are they brothers?" he asked. The showman's reply has not been preserved.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The thirtieth annual conference of Church Workers Among Colored People was held in St. Paul's church, New York city, October 5 to 9, by courtesy of the rector, Rev. Hutchins Chew Bishop, and his people. About fifty clergy attended the sessions and more than one hundred laymen and women were visiting delegates. There was much interest in the sessions for consideration of varied topics; the services were well attended, the attendance was remarkably good in the evenings when from seven to nine hundred persons were present. Discourses in the following states were well represented; Muskus sippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. On Tuesday evening, after shortened evening, Bishop Burch made an address of welcome for the bishop of New York, who was unable to be present on account of the Minnesota meeting of the house of bishops. Venerable Henry Baird Delaney, D. D. president of the conference, responded to the bishop's cordial greeting. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. George F. Miller of Brooklyn, and the necrologist's report was read by Rev. Ennnet M. Miller of Petersburg, Va. Friday was Woman's auxiliary day. As on other mornings, the holy communion was celebrated at seven o'clock. There were business meetings at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. At the closing session on Friday evening there was a solemn Te Deum and procession. Besides the president's annual address and other official reports, a long series of subjects were treated by writers, appointed speakers, and volunteer speakers. An address by Doctor Dillard of the Slater-Jeanes fund was of particular value. There was a fine address by Doctor Du Bois on the subject "War and Prejudice." Rev. George Chalmers Richmond of Philadelphia made an impression by an address, and Miss Julia C. Emery of the Woman's auxiliary took active and helpful part in the meeting of the women. A committee was appointed from membership in the several provinces to report whether the organization of provincial conferences of church workers would be useful. The need for a field secretary for work among the colored parishes and missions was reaffirmed. Commendation was given to work and investigations of Mr. C. W. Robinson, a layman of St. Philip's church, New York, with respect to conditions in connection with the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and also to the plan of having a colored secretary in charge of work among the colored chapters. The plan for a racial missionary episcopate was enthusiastically approved again, no dissenting voice heard. A general address to the church at large was set forth in conclusion and was read at the closing session. County Treasurer Guillian of Auburn, Neb., received a request from a Maywood man for statement of his personal taxes for 1883, because his conscience was troubling him. The Yukon Territorial council recently passed an ordinance regulating the black fox industry and prohibiting generally the exportation of foxes. Representatives of the Negro churches of Germantown held a big celebration in the ancient Mennonite church, Germantown avenue and Herman street, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The old church was selected for the reason that the communion table in that church is said to be the table upon which the Germantown pioneers of 1882 wrote the first public protest in America against human slavery. Rev. Morton Winston, pastor of Mt. Zlon Baptist church, West Rittenhouse street, presided. The visitors were welcomed by the pastor of the Mennonite church, Rev. J. W. Baylay, Addresses were delivered by Rev. E. W. Moore, Rev. W. A. Credit, Rev. J. G. Jackson, Rev. J. M. Moses, Rev. E. W. Johnson and Rev C. H. Blackwell. It is reported that the surface of the Caspian, which is 27 meters under the surface of the sea, has, since the summer of 1910, been continually sinking, and that it is gradually becoming inconvenient for navigation. A commission has been appointed to study the subject. In Poland schoolgirls are compelled by law to wear their hair away back from their faces and tied in the back with a brown hair ribbon. They are also forbidden to wear jewelry or corsems until they have graduated. The germ theory of the transmission of contagious diseases was entertained as far back as 1657, when the plague ravaged Rome. Recent developments seem to indicate that the first newspaper in English was printed in 1620 in Amsterdam. The average government salary in Washington is $1,079, and the average all over the country is $948. For every 1,000 males employed in New Jersey there are 276 females. India does a large business in the manufacture and sale of glue. About one-third of Great Britain's telegraphers are women. Potatoes are successfully grown in Yukon territory. From the report of the corresponding secretary of the Federation of Colored Women's clubs, Miss Ida Cummings of Baltimore, Md., the following excerpt is given: 4 "Our women are realizing as never before the power of organization. They are showing better judgment, working for larger results; they have caught the vision of service. Playing its part in all the forces of human endeavor, mutuality and helpfulness have stamped themselves. For these bodies of ours to be out of harmony means disease and death. Oh, a lack of human mutuality means more! "Here we have come as the Jewish people came, centuries ago, to Jerusalem, with their offerings, to celebrate the harvest. Instead of dipping a golden pitcher in the pool of Sloam for the altar, we are come to draw water of inspiration from the well of our different experiences. "In some states the ballot has come to our women. We hope the day may soon dawn when all of us may enjoy this privilege. Jane Addams says: If woman should fulfill her traditional responsibility to her own children, she must bring herself to the use of the ballot, that latest implement for self-government." I believe in woman suffrage because women are as integral a part of the commonwealth as man, and have equal social rights. But, sisters, what we need is to work hard and train ourselves to be fully prepared to use this privilege when it comes to us. "The temperance question is of vital importance to us. Sisters, let us work with renewed energy to rid the land of that which is doing so much to drag us down as a race. March 13, 1913 marked one of the most impressive scenes in our civic life in Baltimore when hundreds of our citizens appeared with white citizens to protest against the reissuance of certain saion licenses, and a woman of our race held them spellbound as she pleaded with them to close those dues for the children's sake. Thirteen saion in that one district were closed and 200 in the city. "In the training of our children homes and fresh air camps are being established for the dependent ones girls' homes for delinquents, and for strangers from the rural districts. . . Three hundred Negro children are born daily—and so much depends on the child culture of today." A committee of seven Negroes representing the Colored Federated Charities appeared before County Judge Ward at Houston, Tex., and spoke in behalf of the boys in contemplation of which the sum of $5,000 was set aside in the budget. The delegation declared that a necessity for the institution existed despite the fact that the Gatesville institution was a suitable institution for the Negroes sent from this county. J. Dixie Smith, chief probation of fice of Harris county, who recently paid a visit to the Gatesville institution, declared that the Harris county school was needed to care for juvenile delinquents who committed minor of fences. Judge Ward declared that the matter would be taken up at an early session of the county commissioners court and given due consideration. Chile will raise $10,219,650 this year for improvements on state railways and $22,921,215 for betterments will be raised in the next six years. The vast area of rich lands in Texas her splendid climate, her generous laws and her warm-hearted citizens constitute a firm base upon which will be erected from year to year a commonwealth of unprecedented prosperity. The instruction given in her agricultural colleges and the research work in her experiment stations will be carried to the people of the rural districts. Already the work of organization has begun and instruction and demonstration in agriculture and home economics in conformity with the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, will inaugurate the work of popular education of the working farmer. Surely the good people of Texas must see an immediate and urgent need for this work among the people "furthest down." All the arguments in favor of extension work among any people anywhere apply with greater emphasis to the Negro farmer—Wade C. Rolins, in the Houston Post. There are more than 85,000,000 sheep in Australia and nearly 25,000,000 in New Zealand, or more than eighteen for each resident. A New York inventor has patented an attachment for talking machines that repeats a record as long as the mechanism is running. A wire lemon juice extractor has been invented that resembles the familiar glass one with the advantage of being unbreakable. A small electric flashlight, mounted on field glasses, is used in the German army for night signalling for distances up to six miles. Twenty miles of roadway around Chicago is soon to be concreted at a cost of $12,000 a mile. New Zealand hotel employees work six days a week. Metal bedsteads are in popular mand in Siam.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1914 DECORATED SASH ENDS ARE IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE SEASON'S GOWNS. When Possible, Hand Work Should Always Be Employed on Them— Sketch Shows a Design That Will Work Out Well. The sash is a very important feature of the gown as now worn, and upon its choice and decoration much depends. The most artistic of these sashes are those that are adorned with handwork; nothing ever surpasses the work that is done by hand. Beautiful as the machine-made patterns are, they can never hope to equal that done by the former means. The design in the sketch will be found to work out very effectively; the roses are done with the rose stitch, and the stem, bow of ribbon and leaves with ordinary embroidery stitches. The satin sash can be bought all ready made, but without any decoration. They are to be bad in all shades; all that has to be done in this case is to simply iron a transfer on the ends of the ribbon and embroider them. If the worker prefers the sash can be made up at home; in that case it is better to work the ends before making up the sash. The roses may be cream, pink, white or red in color; this will, of course, depend upon the gown that the sash is to adorn. They are worked as follows: Begin in the center of the rose; make a few satin stitches, then make several back stitches; let the stitches be of unequal length and put them closely together to get the effect of folded-over petals. Now work this center with a row of larger stitches; these can be in a lighter shade of the color used for the roses. An outer row is added; these loops or stitches should be made a little tighter than the others, as they serve to draw the rose together, as it were. Let the center of the rose be the deepest in tint and the outside the palest. The bow of ribbon is simply worked with satin stitch; the how may be of any color to tone with the general color scheme or it may be worked with the same shade of green as the stalks and leaves. The stalk can be worked with crew stitch, and the leaves in satin stitch. The sprays are easily and quickly worked and are well worth while the doing; it is much more economical to do this embroidery at home, for even if the gown has to be sent out to be made the cost of hand embroidery has been saved. The necessary silks for the work can be bought at most fancy shops and there also the transfers are to be had. SERVICEABLE FOR THE FALL "Coat-Frock" Will Carry Its Wearer Over a Period That Is Sometimes Rather Trying. This is an age of fashion evasions and duplicates. By the turn of the neck a collar develops into a cape and a cape subsides into a coat. In this list of transformations comes the new "coat-dress." By the aid of the "coat-frock" one may indeed defer the purchase of the suit until the fall styles are more clearly defined and the fall prices more nearly surrendered. Until the middle of November, or December, this garment presents a solution of what to wear on the street, and after that it is good for the entire winter season in the less obtrusive role of a house frock. As may be surmised from the name, the "coat-frock" nearly resembles a suit. This is due to the fact that its long basquelike bodice terminates in the flowing ends of a really truly redingote. Just at present one is seeing many of these serviceable frocks in serge and gabardine, which materials guarantee their availability as a street suit far into the fall. Dark blue, brown and green are the favored colors here, and one saw recently at luncheon a woman whose clothes illustrated perfectly how smart and dashing and really becoming is this long-waisted and betuniced style of frock. Made of dark blue serge, the basque-bodice was buttoned down the front till it met a long-deferred girdle in the shape of a SMARTNESS IN TEA GOWNS Costumers Are Giving Particular Attention to These Useful and Pretty Garments. A topic of interest pertains to tea gowns, for in these days such a garment is often relied upon in place of the smart gowns. Considerable amount of favor is still accorded the separate coat idea. At one ateller renowned for its original tea gowns these coats are being fashioned of some wonderful metal brocade ninon, rather barbaric in coloring, the edges hemmed with ostrich feather trimming or marabon. A glorious scheme of coloring was in shades of orange or flame, the whole scintillating with interwoven threads of gold. And this was deattained to be worn with clinging under draperies of deeply tinted lace, lightly drawn to the figure by a deep sash of rainbow coloring formed of different colored ribbons folded with apparent carelessness over one another. Another, equally unusual, was car- sash tied in the front. Unlike many of such costumes, this one abjured the high military collar and the rather low-cut throat was defined by a smart linen collar whose flare was adequately repeated in the deep cuffs. MISTAKE TO NEGLECT HANDS They Are a Thing of Beauty, or the Reverse, According to the Attention Given Them. Always file the nails from the corners toward the center of the nails. This tends to make the finger tips slender. It is well to file the nails on the same day every week. They seem to feel the regularity and look better for having them done in this way. About polish, every one has her own. They are all about the same, that is, if you get a good one, which you should be careful to do, as a rough, inferior polish is aut to scratch the nails and in thicken them. Those who have not thought it worth while heretofore should begin now to care for their nails. The little time spent at this will show in good-looking nails before very long. Begin today. The outfit costs so little almost any one can afford it. A good remedy for damp, moist hands is to make a lotion consisting of one-fourth ounce of powdered alum and one teaspoonful of spirits of ammonia in a pint of boiling water. Bathe the hands with this. DICTATES OF FASHION Fashion demands that every gown shall have shoes to harmonize. Many of the new suits and coats have decided, close fitting lines. Redingotes of white cloth will be extremely fashionable this fall. Costumes of white net or lace are trimmed with ornaments of jet. Scotch plaids and mixtures will be used for coats, capes and tailored suits. Very chic with the tailored rig is the embroidered waistcoat of white plique. Navy blue and brown and green are in the greatest favor for autumn. Among light colors sand and putty are chosen. There is a great demand for plain, straight skirts on account of the long coat. Other straight skirts are plaited. The apron string sash is a pretty new idea. The strings are fastened at the side seam and are tied in a loose knot at the back. DAINTY DANCING FROCK DAINTY DANCING FROCK Model by Carere of white printed chiffon with skirt of accordion plaited chiffon. Selvages Still Apparent. When the dressmakers first began to leave selvage edges exposed at the bottom of skirts and draperies, and at any conceivable point on the bodice, there were exclamations of amazement. But the freedom that this use allows, the grace and suppleness it gives to the fabrics, have more than justified it. It is still used in the same way in the new models. ried out in shades of mandarin blue, which possibly suggested the somewhat Chinese fashioning. Again, there are ten gowns of more shapely character, more what is known as the reception gown, and therefore quite suitable to wear at a quiet house party dinner. A charming model is arranged in ivory charmeuse and the finest lace in a slightly deeper tone of ivory, the high draped walst sash, with broad effective bow in front, and the little handmade roses being carried out in lettuce green, the ceinture in soft satin and roses in chiffon. For the quaint quasi medieval sleeves tulle is used, the points weighted with a pearl tassel. Ostrich at Hands and Throat. One of the alluring trimmings of the new season is ostrich, and one of the most alluring ways of using it is at the hands and throat of a silk or satin frock. One in old gold charmeuse of soft color and texture has brown ostrich flues outlining the round neck and finishing the very long sleeves. SOUPS THAT WILL BE LIKED For the Colder Days There Is Nothing Better Than That Made With Peas—Other Suggestions. To make thick pea soup wash and soak overnight one pint of split peas. Next morning put them into a pot with two quarts of water. Meantime fry until brown two sliced onions and a head of celery in two ounces of clarified dripping. Put them in with the peas and two slices of bread cut diagonally, a teaspoonful of salt and half that amount of pepper. Bring to the boil, simmer for one and a half hours, rub through a sieve, add one pound of mashed potatoes, return it all to the pot and bring once more just to the boiling point. Strain if desired. If the soup is not thick enough add a tablespoonful of flour and butter rubbed together and let the soup heat for five minutes longer. This soup is very nutritious and would take the place of meat. For a good cabbage soup remove the outer leaves from two small cabbages and cut into shreds with half a head of celery. Soak in boiling water for ten minutes, drain and cool in fresh boiling water for ten minutes. Once more drain and place in a pan with two pints of stock or water, one ounce of finely minced sweet herbs and pepper and salt to taste. Then bring to a boll and simmer for fifteen or twenty minutes. Serve with grated cheese. Potato soup is good and cheap, especially if made without meat, although scraps of meat or gravy may be added if liked. Cut three medium-sized potatoes into thin slices, add one small slice onion and a handful of rice. Boll in water sufficient to cover. Parsley heightens the flavor, but it should be lifted out when well cooked. When the potatoes are done blend a piece of butter the size of an egg with browned flour and stir it into the soup. This gives a rich color and appetizing flavor. Milk may be added, but it should be sparingly used. You may add carrots, beans, peas and other left-over vegetables to such soup. Drop dumplings are nice to serve with this soup. Take one egg, one-half eggshell of water, a pinch of salt and one teapoisonful of baking powder. Add enough flour to make a dough that will drop easily from a teaspoon. Remove when they rise to the top of the soup.

For the mixture rub a little flour, say a dessert-spoonful, smooth with some cold milk, water or stock, then add this to the soup and let it all cook for five minutes longer. Aunt Nellie's Pudding Flour, one cupful (half pound); salt, one pinch; chopped suet, one cupful (half pound); candied peel, a few strips; one egg; molasses, one cup; rind and juice of one-half lemon; milk enough to molsten. Mix all the dry ingredients, make into a light paste with the egg, molasses and lemon juice, adding the milk, if necessary. Steam for two hours. Pineapple Salad.

These are delicious. Salad Olls. A decided salad oil economy is obtained by mixing with a quart of the pure cottonseed oil, a few ounces of pure olive oil for imparting richness of flavor. The nutritive qualities of the two are about the same, and to some persons this mixture is more appetizing than the rather pungent flavor of the plain olive oil. Worth Knowing When broiling steak, brush with olive oil. It will keep in the juice. Always flour your pie tins instead of greasing them. You won't have soft pies, says the Janesville Gazette.

As he led them from the entrance of the White House grounds the attention of the party was attracted by a group of figures that form one of the monuments in Lafayette square. One of the figures that form one of the monuments with one hand appears to be frantically grasping the garments loosely draped about her while with the other she is offering a sword to Lafayette, who occupies a position above her. Mr. Moore approached the group and in the regular sing-song manner of the professional guide, said: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to the far-famed statue of the great soldier and statesman, Marquis de Lafayette. Below is a woman in supplant attitude, holding a sword. Apparently she is speaking to him—" At this moment one of the ladies in the party interrupted and wished to know what the lady was supposed to be saying to the great Lafayette. Mr. Moore studied the statue for a moment, then turning to the lady he said: "That's very plain, if you observe the position of her attire, madam. She's begging him, 'Here, general, take this quick, while I catch my clothes.'" Thereafter all questions asked were of an entirely impersonal nature. Arranging a Demonstration "I suppose," said the candidate, "that I can depend on your support?" "I dunno," replied Farmer Cortossel, in a low tone. "Mirandy an' the two girls are hangin' out o' the window, over the porch, tryin' to hear what we're talkin' about.

Suspicious Person "That man is very cautious in wording his letters," said the suspicious person. "He always uses the phrase 'Yours truly,'" "What of it?" "You must note the equivocation.

APT REPLY OF STAGE DRIVER Declares Himself to Be Most Abused Person in Oregon and Companion Agrees With Him. Senator Harry Lane of Oregon, though born in that state, comes of southern ancestry, who emigrated to the far West many years ago from Carolina. His career has been varied—at one time a doctor, then later on superintendent for the state insane asylum, then into the senate. Lane's grandfather, who was one of the most prominent men in Oregon in the old days, was also a senator, and held that position at the breaking out of the Civil war. Naturally, this senator, whose name was Jo Lane, felt kindly toward the land of his birth, and these sentiments found frequent expression on the floor. So much so, indeed, that when he reached home he began to realize that he was beginning to lose his great popularity, while many already regarded him as an out-and-out rebel. One day he took a seat in a stage alongside of the driver, who did not know the identity of his companion. In the course of the conversation Lane remarked that he thought he was the most abused man in the state. "Well, I don't know about that," chuckled the driver as he flecked a fly deflyt from the nigh horse's flank, "but I do know that if you are any worse abused than that rascal Jo Lane, heaven help you."—Washington Star.

"What makes you insist on always dancing with that girl?' You know you dance badly." "That's true," replied the determined youth. "I think a lot of that girl. If I dance with her instead of letting her sit down and watch me at a distance, maybe I can keep her from seeing what a fearful dancer I really am." Politic Economy "Of course," said Meandering Mike, "de great ting in taxation is to take de money away from a people widout lettin' 'em realize dey're partin' wid it." "Yes," replied Plodding Pete.
