Panama-Pacific International Exposition, Greatest and Most Marvelous of All Celebrations, Opens Completed In Every Detail on Feb. 20, 1915 Forty of the World's Great Nations to Join With America In Celebrating the Opening of the Panama Canal In a Conclave Unsurpassed In History. Wonderful Exhibits From All Lands Show the World's Best Progress From Beginning to End Magnificent Panama-Pacific International Exposition Will Abound With Superb Educational and Entertainment Features. THE PALACE OF THE KING'S TEMPLE THE MOTHER OF LINCOLN BEACHEY, FROM THE TOWER OF JEWELS, 435 FEET ABOVE THE EARTH, AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, WATCHES HER SON LOOP HIS ONE THOUSANDTH LOOP. When Lincoln Beachey, a son of San Francisco, on the occasion of his homecoming after breaking all world records as a daredevil looper of 999 loops, performed two entirely new and death defying stunts over the completed palaces of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition it was his aged mother who for the first time waved him on to fresh achievements. Mrs. Beachey held a place of honor, 435 feet up in the air, on the tiptop of the wonderful Tower of Jewels. From this aerial she was able to watch every erratic move of her daredevil son. She cried out only once. That was when he wrote the figures "1000" against the clouds, high above the two miles of completed exhibit palaces, significant of the looping of his one thousandth loop.

This photograph shows James Earle Fraser's superb piece of statuary, "The End of the Trail," at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. More than 800 beautiful sculptures are shown at the Exposition, the works of famous sculptors of the day. In addition to the sculptures shown out of doors, thousands of beautiful works of art are presented in the great Palace of Fine Arts. BY HAMILTON WRIGHT. THE construction of the vast Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco was 95 per cent completed three months before the opening day, on Feb. 20, 1915. The early installation of thousands of tons of rare and costly exhibits from all parts of the globe and the participation of forty of the world's great countries have assured a celebration that will be unrivalled in its splendor, magnitude, interest and comprehensiveness. From its opening until its close, on Dec. 4, 1915, the Exposition will abound with original features collected at an expenditure of many millions of dollars. It will present a cross section of human achievement.

Here will be a neutral ground where even nations engaged in warfare will display on a scale never before equaled their progress in the arts, industries and sciences of peace. Within three months before the opening of the Exposition as many as 2,000 tons of consignments had reached San Francisco in a single day, and, far in advance of its opening, the Exposition had created an unprecedented interest throughout the world, and its opening was eagerly awaited. In keen competitive exhibits there will be presented more than 80,000 single exhibits and groups of related exhibits portraying the results of the world's best efforts in recent years. This wonderful Exposition, presented at an outlay of more than $100,000, celebrates a contemporaneous achievement, the building of the Panama canal, and all exhibits that are entered for competitive, award will be those that have been originated or produced since the great Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis ten years ago. The possible exception to this rule will be where earlier exhibits are EXAMINER. MACHEX, FROM THE TOWER OF THE PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION LOOP.

Many of the displays will be especially adapted to study by the delegates to great national and international congresses and conventions, of which more than 300, embracing almost every phase of human activity, have voted to meet in San Francisco in 1915. Delegates to the congresses interested in social progress and wel- ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. fare work will, for example, see in the Palace of Mimos an exhibit three-fourths of an acre in extent, illustrating the manner in which the largest steel corporation in the world is caring for and plans to still further advance the welfare of its employees. In the Palace of Education they will be interested in a great United States government exhibit. The great war in no way has diminished the prospect of attendance at the Exposition, and thousands of Americans will for the first time, enjoy the educational trip across their native land. After the outbreak of the conflict the number of conventions deciding to meet in San Francisco proportionately increased. One of the most important of the assemblages will be the international, engineering JEWELS, 435 FEET ABOVE THE EXPOSITION, WATCHES HER SON homecoming after breaking all world rec. with defying stunts over the completed other who for the first time waved him in the air, on the tiptop of the won- ratic move of her daredevil son.

The nations are not attempting to show everything that they produce, but will lay especial emphasis upon those products in which they excel. In the Danish display, for example, will be shown products of the Royal Danish porcelain factory at Copenhagen. Japan in her exhaustive exhibit will display priceless works of art, loaned by direction of the imperial household and many of which could not be duplicated. From Italy will be shown historic paintings of the old masters, hitherto never exhibited in America in the originals. From China, there have reached. San Francisco, selections of exhibits collected under the supervision of the governors of the Chinese provinces. Hare silks and satins, carvings, inlay work in the precious metals, exhibits of the transportation methods employed in the old China and the modern methods used in the awakening republic will be shown. New Zealand will make a marvelous exhibit of its rare woods, of its fleeces, of its superb scenic charms. A large number of rare giant tree ferns from New Zealand will be found growing on the Exposition grounds. The Argentine Republic early set aside a larger sum than any ever appropriated by a foreign nation for representation in an American exposition. The modern cities of Argentina, the schools, churches, libraries, the great live stock and agricultural interests will be extensively portrayed, and the mutual interests of South America and North America will be emphasized in almost every conceivable manner. From South Africa will be shown diamond exhibits and methods of extraction. The magnificent Canadian displays will review not only the widely known agricultural wealth, but will illustrate the scenic charms of the great Dominion, of snow clad mountain peaks, of farreaching forest, of inland lakes in chains of silver and rushing mountain streams.

The Vanderbilt Automobile Cup Race and the Grand Prix, the two supreme events of the automobile year, will be held upon a four mile course, embracing a circuit of the Exposition palaces, a spectacular background far excelling in beauty and grandeur any which ancient Rome beheld during its historic charlot races. The Vanderbilt Cup Race will take place on Feb. 22 and the Grand Prix on Feb. 27, 1915. Great motorboats of the deep sea cruiser type will race for a $10,000 prize from New York through the Panama canal to the Golden Gate. A series of international yacht races in the twenty-one meter class will be held in San Francisco bay. President Woodrow Wilson, Emperor William of Germany and King George of England have each offered triplies in these events.—Swimming, water polo, fly casting, canoeing, football, baseball and long distance foot racing are included in a series of more than 200 different kinds of contests. President Wilson himself will attend the Exposition, and it is probable the members of congress will attend in an especially chartered steamer. Of international interest will be the greatest live stock show in the world's history. More than $500,000 will be awarded in prizes in a continuous live stock exhibit. Share and valuable breeds of all kinds of live stock from distant countries of the globe will be shown. Specimens of the famous Chillingham wild white cattle will be exhibited for the first time. With the exception of two specimens at the London zoo, this breed has never been shown outside of Chillingham park, England. These cattle are pure white, with black noses, black tips to the ears and black horns. An international sheep shearing contest will be one of the unique exhibitions. For the musical events there has been built by the Exposition the magnificent Festival Palace upon the grounds. This is equipped with a wonderful pipe organ, upon which Mr. Edwin Lenare, world famous organist, among other celebrities, will give a series of recitals. The International Eisteddfod will at San Francisco compete for $25,000 in cash prizes.

The famous Salt Lake Mormon choir, the deep toned plaintive singers of Hawaii and even a chorus of fifty Maoriian singers will take part in the choral events. At an expenditure of $1,250,000 the Exposition has constructed a great Archieum in the civic center of San Francisco, which will be used by the great conventions and song festivals. Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Craig will present their latest terpsiehorne novelty, the "Exposition Tango"; Mr Harry Lauder will sing the Exposition ballad. The amusement section of the Exposition, the "Zone," corresponding to the famous "Midway" at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, will carry out the purpose of the Exposition to give every feature a high educational value.

Apart from the amusements, conventions and congresses, the vast pageants, the superb pavilions of the nations and the magnificent state buildings, the Exposition itself is a sight well worth seeing. The giant exhibit palaces, the loftiest and most imposing, exposition buildings ever constructed, are in their architecture representative of the finest work of a commission of famous American architects, who freely collaborated with distinguished members of this profession abroad. Congregation of St. Joseph A. M. E. Church Among Most Progressive and Cultured In the North Carolina City. Work of Mossrs. Merrick, Pearson, Avery and O'Daniel. B. GEORGE F. KING Durham, N. C.—The splendid activities of a large group of progressive members of our race in this city, which have gained nation wide comment and won the apprehension of the better element of both races, have largely been stimulated by religious influences and are found among the strongest Christian factors in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Its effectiveness is due to its capable leadership and ability to inspire its constituents, who are ambivalent to win success in their church work.... Bishop L. J. Coppin, D. D. of Philadelphia is the presiding genius over this Episcopal district. He appointed to the St. Joseph A. M. E. church, this city, a man endowed with the requisites essential for the conserving of the religious interest in making the people of Durham a constructive force in racial uplift. Dr. E. T. Balley, pastor of the St. Joseph church, is now filling his third appointment as pastor of this thrifty congregation. This is a congregation where culture and Christianity predominate. During his administration there has been a bigger conception on the part of the members of their mission in life, and every department of the church has had unprecedented success. The in- P. dustious and munty life of Dr. Bailey has signally eliminated a kind of individualism detrimental to the progress of Christianity. Dr. Bailey is an ardent advocate among the educational forces of his great church, and he emphasizes that culture is imperative for the betterment of man to the extent that St. Joseph is always in the forward column of the forces in supporting the twenty-four institutions of learning owned and controlled by this denomination. At the recent session of the western North Carolina conference, which was filled with many fine features and with full rounded reports giving it the reputation of leading the southern conferences, the Rev. Mr. Bailey succeeded in getting the next educational congress of the North Carolina conference to meet in his church. St. Joseph's church willingly and effectively supports Dr. Bailey in all of the commendable movements with such able men as his lay leaders as Hon. John Merrick, founder and president of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of this city and president of the Mechanics and Farmers' bank; Professor W. G. Pearson, noted pedagogue and head of the Royal Knights of King David, a highly successful fraternity; Professor J. M. Avery, assistant general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, president of the Alumil association of Kittrell college and one of the leading laymen in North Carolina; Dr. G. W. Adams, cashier of the Mechanics and Farmers' bank, and John O'Daniel. Dr. Bailey's ministerial career of nineteen years, beginning at Chuckucktuck, Va., has been a success. In the outset he demonstrated his ability to do constructive work and built an ideal church at his first charge. For nine years he labored in Virginia, his native state. During 1904 he was transferred to his present conference by Bishop Lee and stationed at Asheville, N. C., where he served acceptably for two years, and, seeing that he was needed host at Kinston, N. C. he was transferred to that city in the North Carolina conference, where he gained greater prestige. He came to Fortran from Mont- Zion A M E. goes to Washington N. C., where he paid off a debt which had in part been standing against this church for thirty years, built a modern parsonage and doubled the membership in five years. One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1915. Sixty-three of the sixty-five Afro-American families living in Harvey-sburg, Ohio, own their own homes, writes our correspondent at that place. In the language of the irrepressible comedian, Bert. Williams, "that's goin' some, isn't it." Our people are taken advantage of so often in the stores, and elsewhere, that we suggest a careful reading by all of our readers of the article in The Gazette's local columns, today, under the caption, "SQUARE DEALS IN FOOD." It will pay you. Call your friends' attention to it, too. The brethren need not worry: When Gov. Frank B. Willis can get to it, he will do just what he promised to do in a letter to The Gazette, some weeks ago—he will treat us fairly and right in the matter of appointments to office. He may be depended on to do so. Be patient awhile longer. Yes, Frederick Douglas. How we miss him, John M. Langston and others of the great leaders of the past, no one of whom would have countenanced for a single moment the preaching of "a doctrine of surrender." O, that they were alive in this day and time, when they are so much needed. It is well to remember that that vicious anti-intermarriage bill, for the District of Columbia, is still pending in the U. S. Senate, after passing the lower house of the Congress. Have you written to your U. S. Senators, asking them to work and vote against it, and explaining to them why they should do so? The exceptionally caustic criticisms, of those Georgia lyachings, by the daily press and magazines of the North, has stirred the governor of that state, and the South in general, in a way that is bound to result in good. Seldom has this been the case, and we sincerely trust that, now that the good work has been so well started, it will be kept up. A church is not "a public place" in the eye of the law of any state in this Union. And why our contemporaries persist in announcing that a little girl in Brainard, Minn., was denied "civil rights" because she claims to have been discriminated against while attending religious service in a church there, is beyond our understanding, unless they are being misled by the prejudiced daily press. The Philadelphia Tribune carried a letter from Chambersburg, Pa., last week, which told of an alleged case of peonage in the southern part of that state, which it is hard to credit. An aged woman of the race is said to have worked in the fields, with scant clothing and worse treatment, ever since the close of the war of the rebellion. Our contemporary owes it to the race and the "keystone state" to verify the story or show it untrue, if it can. "The Motion Picture News," Chicago, calls the attention of moving picture theater proprietors throughout the country to the fact that the civil rights laws of many states in the North are such that it will be wise for discrimination against our people in theaters to cease. At this time we wish to again urge our people to promptly resent, by court action, every attempt to insult them by a denial of rights in all public places. Show that you are MEN and WOMEN, citizens, who know and will have your rights, under the law. A right that is not worth so contending for is not worth exercising. The death, recently, of Brigadier General Andrew S. Burt, retired, is a distinct loss to the race. He was a native of this state, enlisting in 1861. He continued in the army until 1902 when he was retired with a record of 41 years, during which he saw service in four wars. He served Phillipines from 1888 to 1891, and it was as commander of the Twenty-fifth infantry that he got the experience that caused him to have the greatest respect for our soldiers. When Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and others, were decrying the Afro-American soldier on account of the "Brownsville Affray," General Burt was one of his strongest champions and went on record with some very many statements. And he has been heard many times since then on the "Negro" as a man and as a soldier. He leaves a widow, two sons and a daughter, and a host of friends to sincerely mourn his loss. Among the latter are our people. According to a dispatch to the daily papers of the country, under date, Jan. 30, '15—and we are free to admit that, here of late, little credence can be put in most of such dispatches, especially when they have reference to our people—Jack Johnson who is out of the country and cannot return, has been sued by one G. Bernard Gerard who alleges failure on Johnson's part to live up to a contract in 1899—six years ago, and says Jack "assaulted him and extorted $2,250 by violence, the sum being $950 more than the salary due him." This too, about six years ago. If this is not "the limit" (providing, of course, the dispatch can be relied upon), then it is very near to it. What is it some people will not, at least, try to do? It is a good thing that Jack Johnson, many months ago, took care to so arrange his business affairs, which of course includes his property-holdings, in this country, as to make it impossible for persons to "touch it" or he would long ago have been "broke" as has so often been announced and hoped by the prejudiced who never, no never! will pardon him for becoming world's champion heavy-weight pupil. Poor things! BIG SUMS FOR EDUCATION Board's Report Shows Our Schools Have Received Generous Aid. New York.-The report of the general education board, issued Dec. 31, shows that a large number of institutions for the education of our race in the south have received generous financial aid from funds for that purpose under its control during the past eight years. The report in part says: "Between 1906 and 1912 seventy-four schools in Alabama were thus sided toward buildings and equipment costing $54,153, the Jeannes fund of the general education board contributed $18,888; Negro patrons of the schools, $35,265; toward $17,600 spent in maintenance in the year 1910-11, the fund gave $1,068, county boards $9,070 and Negro patrons $7,552. "At the present time schools are fortunate if they obtain as principals and teachers the graduates of one of the better industrial schools for Negroes. The general education board has therefore assisted some of the more efficient of these industrial training schools as follows: Hampton institute, $138,000; Tuskegee institute, $135,483.48; Spelman seminary, $106,912.88; other institutions, $85,384.77. "With the same end in view, gifts toward improved physical equipment have been made to a number of secondary schools owned or controlled by Negroes themselves—namely, Waters Normal institute, Winston, N. C. Thompson institute, Lumberton, N. C. Jeruel academy, Athens, Ga.; Americus institute, Americus, Ga.; Howe institute, Memphis, Tenn.; Florida Baptist academy, Jacksonville, Fla., and others. "It has been recognized that the higher education of Negroes must also be provided for. The reasoning followed in dealing with colleges and universities is equally valid in this connection. If primary and secondary schools are to have good teachers, principals and supervisors provision must be made for higher education." Besides the amounts contributed to the schools designated above, $114,000 was distributed among the following institutions: Atlanta Baptist college, Atlanta university, Fisk university, Lane college, Leland university, Livingstone college, Miles Memorial college, Paine college, Shaw university and the Virginia Union seminary. WORKERS' CONFERENCE AT THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Annual Gathering of Business Men Scheduled to Begin Jan. 21. The workers' conference at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institutes will be held on Thursday, Jan. 21. The subject selected for discussion is "The Schools and the Hard Times Situation," under the following subdivisions: First.—How the "hard times" situation has affected our community; second. What our school is doing to help our community in the present financial situation. (a) To get temporary relief. (b) To get permanent relief. (c) The opportunity that the present situation offers to teach the saving habit. (d) The opportunity of the present situation for initiating and increasing school extension work. A number of special invitations have been extended important citizens of the south-white and colored—to be present and speak at the workers' day conference. Among others, Mr. J. T. Hollerman of Atlanta on the subject, "Cotton Raising and the Present Economic Situation." It is also proposed to invite a successful colored cotton farmer to tell what he is planning to do with respect to growing cotton during this year. A representative of the financial interests of the south has been invited to address the conference on "The Financial Situation From the Standpoint of Credit" Invitations will be extended to Mr. G. L. Corner of Eufaula, president of the Alabama Bankers' association, and Mr. R. M. Hobbie, a wholesale grocery merchant of Montgomery. Ala. through whose intelligent direction many Alabama farmers are planning to turn to wheat raising this year instead of cotton raising. It is planned in connection with the general subject of credits, advances, etc., to ask Mr. J. O. R. Ross, president of the Atlanta State Savings bank himself a planner and one of the race's most successful men, to speak on the subject of "Credits and Advances." Plenty of Business In Boley, Okla. Boley, Okla., is the largest city in the United States founded and officered by colored men.

Succinct Story of Part Played by Famous Men and Effective Legislative Enactments Which Resulted In Final Abolition of Slavery—Virginia Exposition Big Feature of 1915 Activities. At a meeting composed of German Quakers, called Friends, held in April, 1688, a formal protest against slavery in the American colonies was adopted. This was the beginning of the abolition movement which never died out, but gradually spread with the growing colonies and which spread over the country when the states were formed and the government established. As the population grew and the number of slaves increased the spirit of opposition to human slavery increased until the freeing of the slave or the dissolving of the Union to perpetuate slavery became inevitable. And thus the great civil war came. It became evident that a nation with human slavery as its cornerstone could not stand. The first dawn of freedom appeared over the horizon in 1862, and the full sun of emancipation burst forth when the friends of human slavery gave up the conflict in 1865. The work of making a new man, a new American citizen, then began with the reconstruction of the government. When the slaves found themselves free, men and women they soon began to hold emancipation celebrations, which have grown into county and state fairs and expositions. A brief study of the work before the Virginia Negro Historical and Industrial association under the lead of the Hon. G. B. Jackson, which is beginning its arrangements for the great celebration of fifty years of freedom and exposition to take place at Richmond next summer, brings us to a relation of the history of the emancipation of the slaves in the United States. After the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1800 it was early decided that slavery was a disgrace to our country and a dark blot on our escutcheon in the eyes of Christian and civilized nations, so by an act of congress the slaves in the District of Columbia were freed on the 16th of April, 1862. This was the real entering wedge and paved the way for a general emancipation. On Sept. 22, 1862, President Lincoln issued a general proclamation of emancipation to take effect on Jan. 1, 1863. This brought about the thirteenth amendment to the constitution on Dec. 14, 1863. On Jan. 13, 1864, Congressman Ashley of Ohio offered an amendment to the constitution prohibiting slavery in the United States and its territories. The late Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri offered an amendment for the complete abolition of slavery and a vote was in the senate on June 15, 1864, but failed because it did not receive the necessary two-thirds vote. This forced the question into the presidential campaign of 1864 and the cause of abolition won at the polls. A vote was again taken on the Henderson amendment on Jan. 31, 1865, and the amendment was agreed to and was submitted to the states for ratification or rejection, and twenty-seven states, which were two-thirds, ratified it, and it became a part of the federal constitution. The second amendment had been issued on Jan. 1, 1863. After the election of 1864, December 1865, adopted the amendment and slavery died forever in the United States so far as congressional enactment was concerned. The closing of the civil war also sealed the fate of human slavery in the United States. The former master and the former slave were now confronted with new problems. Neither for a time knew his exact status or just what to do. They finally agreed that they should live on together under their new conditions and rebuild the waste places of the southland and make it once more blossom like the rose. That work since then has been going on. The new freedmen have made wonderful progress in fifty years along all lines, and because of this progress Virginia's colored population will hold a great exposition at Richmond during July and August, 1915. Pennsylvania Masons Are Thrifty. The Masonic fraternity in Pennsylvania vanished steady gains in its membership during the past year.

The prevalent impression in the west that the operations in Poland have been conducted in wild and desolate country is curiously wide of the truth Poland is now more densely populated than any other part of Russia, and the towns which have figured in the recent dispatches are centers of turving industry, Radom, now out of sound of the guns, has large tanneries and distilleries, Kalisz, through which a big German column passed to relieve the pressure in the center, is famous for lace and embroideries. Every little town around which the fighting has raged has its own mills, chiefly textile. Poland is rich in minerals, and its coal field is of considerable extent. It is not necessary to cross into Silesia to find either factories or Germans engaged in running them. If Russia could have saved Poland from invasion we may be sure she would have done so.—London Times. Where Home Folks Come First Where Home Folks Come First. In Chicago men who need work are being given blue tickets. These tickets identify the holders as bona fide residents of Chicago. The object is to give needy Chicagoans first call on jobs and charity and to shut out an army of drifters who crowd into the city in the cold months to live on charity. Of course, the blue tickets do not doom to starvation all strangers who reach Chicago in a starving condition. They simply insure preference to Chicagoans when aid is extended and discourage the professional hoboes. Crushed Stone Industry. Crushed stone is the largest factor of the stone industry in the United States. Figures showing the value of crushed stone were first published by the United States Geological Survey in 1898 and amounted to $4,031,445. By 1913 the output was valued at over $31,000,000. Of late years stone crushed for making concrete has largely taken the place of building and foundation stone. "Is your wife handy with her needle?" "She's a good deal handler with her hatpin."

Thornhill of E. 37th St., who has been ill, some months, is being visited by his father. There is only one way to get our race's news, local and general, and that is by taking "the old and reliable" Gazette, every week. Mr. Frank Lyons was among the graduates from E. Tech. High school, last week Friday evening. He completed the electrical course. A number of members of our local churches that forbid dancing, "tripped the light fantastic" at the Charity ball, last week Friday evening, and the prospect of a number of "church trials" is most promising. A "jim-crow" car bill to cover public conveyances in the National capital was reported to the lower house of Congress, Monday, by a committee with recommendations that it be passed. The report of the Charity ball took up so much time, Monday evening, at the meeting of the C. A. of C. M. that the trial of "Dode" Green was postponed, one week. A committee was appointed to look into proposed charges against Henry Taylor. The internal strife in the Association, at this time, seems to be the greatest. Mr. Taylor was signed from its executive committee. Neither he nor Will Humley attended the ball, last week. That a Cleveland company has captured the gold medal for a safety device at the second international exposition of safety and sanitation held in New York city has just been announced at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the National Safety Device Co. The device is the Morgan national safety hood and smoke proof device. It is designed to mean of saving many lives and much property during 1914. During the safety exposition in New York the subway disaster occurred and the safety hoods on exhibition in the Grand Central palace were rushed to the scene of the accident, where they enabled the firemen to rescue people from the gas filled subway. The first grand prize medal announces the award on one side, while on the other is a plaque of the Museum of Safety, with its slogan "Now let us conserve human life." The officers of the company elected for the ensuing year are Victor W. Sincere, president; William Ganson Rose, vice president; Edgard A. Hahn, secretary; A. L. Dreyfus, treasurer, and Garrett A. Morgan, general manager. The following from a recent issue of the Cleveland News, under the caption, "SQUARE DEALS IN FOOD," is of so very much value and interest to our people, especially those who live in the Central Av., district, that The Gazette reproduces and suggests a careful reading of it: Estimating conservatively that Cleveland housekeepers are defrauded of $100,000 annually by tricky tradesmen, the city houses the weight labels on loaves of bread, to beware of dealers who use dented and battered measuring utensils, to look for the city seal on all measures, to watch the scales on which purchases are weighed, to make sure before weighing begins, to see that it comes to a standstill before the weight is announced, and to decline to pay butter and beefsteak prices for wooden plates and paper weighed with purchases. These are simple, often repeated warnings such as should be heeded instinctively by any person of ordinary intelligence and the average aversion to being vicious that they should be neglected to an astute challenger of $100,000 annually is a profit of $100,000 annually is a profit of $100,000 loss. We tend to the optimistic view and to Soybean with a certain suspicion that are to get the worst of the to it. We fear to start anything, to get in wrong, to be upbraided. The public support the commissioner of weights and measures does not get, the only wonder is that the loss is not greater. To mend matters does not contain sufficient pickle. The housewife has only to find an honest dealer and then give him his just due by sticking to him, with only enough cursory watchfulness to make sure that his honesty does not suffer a relapse." *** One of the most beautiful and elaborate affairs ever given by our people of Cleveland, was the second annual charity ball of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men held at the Chamber of Commerce hall last Friday evening. The hall was decorated with 500 yards of black and orange bunting, the colors of the association. In the center of the hall hung a very large heart with the letters "C. A. of C. M." in black and orange. Flags were artistically arranged over the pictures and between the windows, the walls, and the carpet, systematically distributed through giving a soft, mellow appearance. Bowman's excellent orchestra, hidden behind palms, furnished the music from a stage in the north end of the hall, while in the west end was a palm garden where the finest of refreshments were served by W. F. Hansbury, the caterer. Fifty palms were furnished by the Kirchner Bros. Guests in taxicabs began to arrive about 9 o'clock and were ushered, by footman, under the canopy stretching to the side-walk to the new lobby where the gentlemen checked their belongings in the dressing room, to the west. Dancing continued until 12 o'clock when the grand marche started, led by Theo B. Green and Miss Ruth Baxter of Erie, Pa., followed by Pres. R. R. Cheeks and wife and the members of the association. A flashlight picture was taken at the time, and dancers took out 2 a.m. guests out of theoutfellow guests were Miss and Mr. Lawrence, Miss Ruth Baxter and the Misses Purdy of Erie, Pa., Miss Reynolds of Akron, Mrs. Hughes and Miss Ella Bailey of Pittsburg, Mrs. Thos. Howard and Miss Maude Elliott of Columbus. The ball was not so well attended as that of last year, because of the failure to properly advertise it and because of the "hard-times", but what it lost in "quantity" it undoubtedly made up in "quality", in the matter of attendance. About two hundred tickets were sold, this year, and either 400 or 500, last year. There seems to be some doubt as to just the number that were disposed of last year. An investigation is in progress. ARRIVED TOO LATE The Joke on Ohio-ana as a National Capitol Celebration Senator, Charles Summer (By Isaiah Mitchell Sr.) (By Isaiah Mitchell, Sr.) Washington, D. C. — Our Cleveland, Ohio, colored citizens found a "temper in a teapot." They sent ex-Senator Hill to an amendment to the immigration bill that passed the House and Senate, because it bars Africans from the United States. This is a good joke upon our Ohio friends. If they had the political interests at heart of our disfranchised Southern brethren, they would have sent a delegation here to urge their Republican Senator and the Congressman to press upon the Supreme Court for that decision which affects every citizen of the United States. It seems our friends have forgotten that the immigration laws of this country allow only white people to become citizens. Senator Sumner tried to strike the word "white" out of these laws in the "Seventies" and failed. He succeeded in striking it out of the U. S. statutes so that the newly made citizens of the United States could pay audited by the Auditor of the Treasury. It will be remembered that Chinese are alliens, and Colored men from the French and British Islands worked on the Panama Canal and were returned home when the water-way was finished. There are many alliens from India here, but England guards them as her subjects, while the United States citizens of the United States; our northern friends should remember that charity begins at home.—Louisville (Ky.)

We are constantly learning more of the economy of trench life, and from time to time we are given a glimpse at what may be called its luxuries. The telephone is, or course, a necessity, but now there is the hyperpericope, by which you may see your enemy without giving his sniper a chance at a pot shot. One letter from the front the other day mentioned that the question of electric lighting is being considered seriously, and the latest refinement is that of the electrophone, by which men in reserve may provide concerts for their comrades in the firing line. War has often been luxurious before, but only for the men at the top in the seventeenth century a du de Luxembourg, a Vendone or a Richelien took with him a complete town equipment, and his wines, his musicians and his silverware were all in camp. Wellington, though he was frugal enough himself, kept hounds for his officers in Portugal,-London Mall. Red Cloud's Granddaughter Red Cloud's Granddaughter. The biggest thing in the way of an Indian wedding ever held among the Sloux Indians was celebrated at Chadron, Neb. a short time back, when James Galligo, a white ranch owner, and Miss Josephine Richards, granddaughter of the late Red Cloud, big chief of all the Sloux tribes, were married. The best man was James Roam Eagle, and the bridesmaid was Miss Angeline Kills Above. Miss Kills above is also a granddaughter of Red Cloud. Half a hundred Indians accompanied the party from the Pine Ridge agency to Chadron for the ceremony, which was performed by County Judge Slatter. Judge Slatter's fee from the bridegroom was $50 and a fine saddle horse. The bride's dowry was a herd of 1,500 Hereford cattle and 500 horses, their total value being probably $150,000. As soon as the snow melts Mr. and Mrs. Galligo intend making a long jour in their automobile. L OFFER PER CENT OFF this year's suitings and overcoatings, rang- to $40. $5.00 to $10.00 on each.

Astronomers in the Carothell observatory at Houston, Tex., report a new method for observing sun spots without the aid of a telescope, as follows: If images of the sun be formed through clean cut round holes of proper size in a darkened room at sufficient distance from the aperture and cast upon clean white paper or cardboard, sun spots of ordinary size may be readily seen on the image. This method would enable amateurs to note the progress of the spots across the solar disk.

Seip in a communt gation to the Washington Star. Ban- groft’s History, volume five, pages 162, 183, says: “On the first of Janu- ary, 1776, the tricolored American oan- er, not yet spangled with stars, but showing 13 stripes of alternate red ‘and white in the field, and the united Fed and white crosses of Saint George And Saint Andrew on a blue ground in the corner, was unfurled over the Rew continental army around Boston, ‘which, at that moment of its greatest Weakness, consisted of but 9,650: men. On that day, free Negroes stood tn the ranks by the side of white men. In the beginning of the war they had en- tered the provincial army; the first keneral order which was issued by Geueral Ward had required a return, among other things, of “the complex- fon” of the soldiers; and black men, like others, were retained in the serv- ce after the troops ware adopted by the continent. We have seen Edward Rutledge de- feated in his attempt to compel their discharge. In October, the conference at the camp, with Franklin, Harrison and Lynch, thought it proper to ex- clude them from the new enlistment; ‘but Washington, at the crisis of his distress, finding that they were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, reversed the decision and asked the approval of congress. ‘That body ap- pointed Wythe, Samuel Adams and Wilson to deliberate on the question; ‘and, on the report of thelr abl» com- mittee, they voted “that the free Ne- roes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge might be re-en- Usted therein, but no, others.” ‘The right of free Negroes to take part in the defense of the country having thus deen partially admitted by the high: ‘est power, the limitation was lost sight of, and they served in the ranks of the American armies during every period of the war, When in 1778 the army was reduced to its lowest point in numbers, Ban- croft states, in volume six, page 43, that “Varnum, a brigadier of Rhode Island, proposed the emancipation of slaves in that state, on condition of their enlisting In the army for the war. ‘The scheme, approved by Washington, and by bim referred to Cooke, the governor of the state, was accepted. Ev- ery able-bodied slave in Rhode Island recetved law Uberty to enlist in the army for the war. On passing muster he became free and entitled to all the wages and encouragements given by congress to any soldier. The state made some compensation to thelr mas- ters, | As the object of this communteation fs simply to correct the error of Mr. Croggon as to when the first colored troops served in the army of the Unit: gd Statos, tt ts not necessary to refer to the wellknown fact that Negroes fought at tho battle of Bunker Hill, taking part in common with the white yeomanry of Massachusetts aud other States. Ther services in the Union Pray uring’ the Civil war are well mows. Kansas City has 130 miles of boule- ards, Houston has a Negro population of probably thirty thousand, and we be- delleve it can be sald without exag- eration that there is not a city in the ‘country where the Negroes are making Detter progress. We do not mean to say that there Is not room for Improve- ment or that everything that might be done to ald them is being done, but year by year the white people are com- ing to know that their interest in ev- erything that Improves conditions among’ the Negroes is one of vital im- portance. It ts no longer difficult to enlist the co-operation of the white people in any movement having ¢or its ‘object the welfare of the Negro people, ‘and we think nearly all of the south- cern cities can say as much.—Houston (Texas) Post. One of the objects of an Australian antarctic expedition will be the estab- Iishment of a meteorologteal station to give warnings by wireless of the se- vere storms which sweep for southern seas, Peruvian off flelds are rapidly be- ‘tng developed. ‘The Mlinols river was so termed trom the Mlint, a tribe of Indians on its banks. Another derivation is sug- gested in Isle aux Notx, Island of Nuts. ‘Several derivatives more or less fanct- ful are suggested by the etymologists and geographers. ‘One of the strangest cargoes ever carried on the sea was a shipload of dees sent from Holland to the Isle ‘of Wight, England, where the native bees are threatened with extinction by disease. The cargo consisted of 300 bives, containing about 10,000,000 bees. Beth, in the name of places men- tioned in the Bible, is the Hebrew word for “house.” Thus Beth-lehem fa the house of bread; Betb-alda, house of mercy. ‘The Belgian capttal has been off cially renamed “Brussels” by the Ger ‘mans, They have also Imposed Ger man time on the elty. if the land of England and Wales were equally divided among the resl- dents there would be a Little more than a eere for anch person. “There is much interest in’ the growth of the modern dances in the fact that they were all danced and played by us Negroes long before the whites took them up,” writes Jesse Rees Europe in the New York Trib. une. “One of my own musicians, Wi Ham Tires, wrote the first tango in America as far back as the Spanish: American war, It was known as ‘The ‘Trocha,’ and a few years afterward he wrote “The Maori’ These two tangos are now most popular, yet who heard of them at the time they were writ- ten? They were the essentially Negro dances, played and danced by Negroes alone. The same may be said of the fox trot, this season the most popular of all dances. “The fox trot was created by a young Negro of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. W. C, Handy, who five years ago wrote “The Memphis Blues.’ This dance was often played by me last season during the tour of the Castles, but never in public. Mr, Castle became interested In it, but did not believe it suitable for dancing. He thought the time too slow, the world of today demanding staccato music. Yet after a while he began to dance it at private entertain- ments in New York, and, to his aston- ishment, discovered that It was imme- diately taken up It was not until then that Mr. and Mrs, Castle began to dance ft in public, with the result that it is now danced as much as all the other dances put together. Mr. Castle has generously given me the credit for the fox trot, yet the credit, as 1 have sald, really belongs to Mr. Handy. You see, then, that both the tango and the fox trot are really Negro dances, as is the one-step. The one- step is the national dance of the Ne- gro. the negro always walking in bis dances, 1 myself have written probe ably more of these new dances than any other composer, and one of my compositions, ‘The Castle Lume Duck Waltz,’ is, perhaps, tie most widely know of any dance now before the public,” In the southern stetes are to be found about seventy banks that are owned, controlled and operated by Ne- groes. In addition to these might be mentioned numerous building and Joan associations. The Kindly spirit that prevatis be tween white people and colored in the South ts evidenced by the fact that presidents or cashiers of white peo- ple's banks have given Uberally of thelr advice to the competing Negroes’ banks, sometimes opening the first set of books for them and supervising thefr operation until they were well under way. Not long ago a bank conducted by Negroes in Richmond nearly became the object of a “run” because of an erroneous report concerning _ the bank’s Integrity. Several of the lead- Ing banks conducted by white people, through thelr presidents, told the Negro bank managers to pay claims promptly and that they would provide the funds required if necessary. ‘They knew that the Negroes’ bank was safe and solid and they had confidence in the honosty of the Negro president. Robert R. Moton of the Hampton institute reports that “in almost every community the Negro and white busi hess men are on terms of harmony and co-operation, loaning and borrow- ing and crediting as if both were white or both were black. In two years Minnesota has spent $3,524,814 for better roads, “Thave written unto you, young men, Decause ye are strong, and the word of God abldeth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one” (I John 2:16) ‘As Professor Findlay comments on this passage, “a manly self-respect and self-mastery are gained at adolescence or are forfeited.” In the days when all our native powers of will, tmagina- tlon, enthusiasm and asptration are at their best, and when the conditions of Iife are most favorable to self-dls- cipline, we must deal with those tg- noble motions of pride, covetousness, fretfulness, impatience, wrath and egotism which #0 painfully disfigure unsanctified old age. Age chiefly shows what a man 1s, what he has ever been, whether to his honor or discredit It 18 not the season of degeneration 80 much as that of revelation.

You will find that the model here filustrated will work up exceedingly well in georgette crepe, pussy willow silk, chiffon or crepe de chine, and the arrangerient of the collar can be guaranteed as a real novelty. We are gradually getting back to “chokers,” but before they completely envelop us we are allowed a deep breath of free- dom in such broad, loose collars as this, which is particularly modish at the moment, ‘The blouse itself, of any of the ma: terlals mentioned above, shows a hort: zontal slash across the front at the bust line, between the edges of which fs hung a ruffle of self material with the outelde corners hanging in points below the belt.

White, cloud pink, maize or mauve will all be lovely for this dainty ‘Mousa: FULL SKIRT HAS WON PLACE Not as Yet Fully Adopted, but Many of the Smart Dressers Have Taken It Up. With the short coat and its military collar the skirt varies, but the full skirt without a tunic claims prece- dence in the very smartest models and Is gradually making itself more and more felt, though for the great mass of winter frocks and sults the long tunic In one form or another will hold good. Paris sponsored the plain full skirt early In the season and the later models emphasize the idea, but the eaarliest showing here leaned rather to the tunic models, and Amer- fean women are slow in accepting the newer skirt. ‘And vet one sees it worn here and there wherever smartly dressed wom en congregate, and it is featured more an¢ more prominently in shops of the better class. One afternoon during the American fashion show at the Ritz Carlton, in New York, a group of five well-known actresses happened to foregather on the stairway, and each of the five was wearing a version of the plain full skirt.

Exaggerated Width May Remain In Style, But It Is Not Certain— Long Sleeves to Be Accepted —Matter of Coats. If one Is altering a street or house skirt it would be wiser not to adopt the exaggerated width, for {t has only Dlazed the way for a less narrow skirt than we have worn for several seasons, and now the best thing ts to cut Hew skirts in between the two widths) ‘The shortness of it depends upon our own inclinations, but there 1 no semblance of a return to an tn- step length, and, better still, there Is no sign that they will touch the floor iv (Wi en (Xx aaa % PAR ey 4 \\\ HEE MEY Be NN Aiea \\\ pity AK LL All eta 3 a Gowns of blue taffeta worn by Ger- aldine Farrar at a morning concert. ‘The hat is of silver lace with a silver tassel. ‘We are too inordinately proud of our footwear these days to accept a style of skirt that would hide it It is also safe to accept the gathers at the waist line of the skirt, but not at the waist line of the bodice. More and more are we convinced that the fitted waist will play the important part in the spring fashions. Already there is an alr of oddness about the Dlouse that sags over the belt, and there Is no effort made to shorten the waist and there 1s every indication of & well-defined waist line. Long sleeves must be accepted, and in the evening there fs a rival fashion creeping up on the one that ellminates the sleeve altogether; It calls for a short sleeve of the material, Is a bit full, and ends in a band of itself and a ruffle of lace. This Is only used on those new frocks in which the bodice 1s of the same opaque fabric as the skirt, One gown that shows this fea- ture Is of white taffeta embroidered with huge silver wheels, the skirt gathered to the belt, and the bodice merely @ continuation of the material Opposed to this is the fashionable sur- pice bodice with the material drawn up to points on the shoulders and caught with a flower or a Jewel, but not holding a sleeve, or providing a place for one. As for coats, cut them short if you are altering on a large scale. The Jong one has no chance as far as one can see. Even those that cover the hips are giving vay to ones that merely cover the walst line. Hips are smoothly fitted. even when there are gathers, strange as it may sound, for these gathers are held in by a bel that drops over them and fastens with a buckle, often of gun metal All these points are well-established and they are good for the woman who intends now to commence the process ‘of alteration. Concerning Skirts. While wide skirts are worn the skirts of medium length are preferred and the extreme skirt 1s seen only on the woman who will always be a fad- dist. Skifts that measure two yards around the bottom are oftenest select- ed. These vary {n construction; some are circular and many are plaited, while most are cut with yokes. The Cape With a Yoke. ‘The cape with a yoke, that most old-fashioneddooking garment, is very much in fashion for an evening wrap. Often this yoke Is only the appearance of a yoke, for the cape is cut on cfr- cular lines, shirred in below the shoul- ders to form the semblance of a yoke and give it added: warmth.
