THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR. NO. 10. AMERICA WORK OF FOREIGN MISSION BOARD Thrifty Agency of the National Baptist Convention. ERECTS MONUMENT TO LISLE Annual Meeting of Influential Religious Body Held at Savannah Fraught With Weighty Matters—Notable Career of Dr. L. G. Jordan, Originator of the Llake Monument Project. By N. BARNET DODSON. The national Baptist convention, which convened in its annual session at Savannah, Ga., on Wednesday, Sept. 6, to hold for one week, will deal with many important matters, upon which its future largely depends. The strengthening of its publishing plant and the adjustment of difficulties growing out of the division of its forces which occurred at Chicago in 1915 will doubtless consume considerable time. The opening session was marked by deep concern on the part of the leaders, who worked earnestly to lay before the delegates the exact conditions of the organization previous to entering upon the real business of the convention. One splendid feature of the session, however, upon which all are pretty well agreed as to its fitness and importance, is the work of the foreign mission board, under whose auspices the monument to the memory of George Llake, the first modern foreign missionary, has been erected at Savannah. George Llake was a native of Virginia, having been born in that state in 1750. He was ordained to the gospel mina- REV. L. G. JORDAN, D. D. try in 1775 and sailed for the foreign field in 1782. His death occurred in 1852 after he had rendered many years of great service. The idea of erecting a monument to the memory of George Liske had its inception in the fertile brain of the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, the energetic corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the convention, of which the Rev. Dr. Robinson is the chairman. The board took kindly to Dr. Jordan's plan for securing funds with which to have the monument erected, and a financial campaign for that purpose was begun. The board through Secretary Jordan requested the various state' conventions, Sunday schools, missionary and young, people's societies to contribute to the fund. The responses to the secretary's appeal were quite generous. What is known as "tag day" will be observed during the session of the convention at Sarawak, where the Llsie monument will be unveiled Sept. 9. The board hopes that a large amount will be collected from the sale of tags because of the opportunity afforded to reach so many persons from the various sections of the country. For nearly a quarter of a century Dr. Jordan has given his best effort to the foreign mission in the convention. He has collected the country several times, securing funds for the support of missourians on the foreign field and, in the common parlance, has had a "hard row to hoe," but he has kept at it. Because of his zeal for the work he is often referred to as "the Little Baptist Steam Engine." The Llsie monument is not only a credit to the denomination, but a very high compliment to the thrift, industry and mighty achievements of Dr. Jordan as a constructive genius. He is the editor of the Foreign Mission Herald, which is issued from the board's headquarters in the Ewing building, Philadelphia. Dr. Jordan is a member of the National Negro Press association and has been an active worker since it was organized seven years ago. Mrs. Talbert Bale Women's Clubs. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, the well known clubwoman and social service promoter of Buffalo, N. Y., is receiving congratulations from all sections of the country on her election to the presidency of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs at the biennial session of the association recently held in Baltimore. Mrs. Talbert is fully qualified for the position by education, experience and adaptability of the work. She is a recognized leader among the women of the race and brings to the association an influence that is national in scope. THE GAZETTE FISK OWNS SACRED TROPHY. Famous Tennessee School Given Bible Once Owned by Lincoln. By D. WELLINGTON, BERRY. Nashville, Teen. — President F. A. McKenzie of Fisk university has come into the possession of a Bible which was presented to Abraham Lincoln by a delegation of colored men at Baltimore in 1843. The Bible is to remain in the permanent custody of the noted educational institution for colored people, having been sent direct to President McKenzie from Hildene, Manchester, Vt. by Robert T. Lincoln son of the former president. The book was received by the university the past term, and arrangements were made to hold special exercises with reference to the gift. President McKenzie in making the announcement read a number of letters that proved to be very interesting and also delivered a short address, in which he declared that the gift would ever be regarded at the university as a sacred trust. The book is to be used at the school only upon very solemn and important occasions. It is understood. President Lincoln in accepting the gift from the colored people was quoted as saying, "God has ever given man. All the good from the Saviour of the world's communicated to us through this book. But for the book we could not know right from wrong. Therefore I return my sheer thanks for the very elegant copy of the great book of God which you present." In his letter to President McKenzie, Robert T. Lincoln, son of the great emancipator, said: "It has seemed to me betrayed that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institution where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection" than the institution founded by General Clinton Bowen Fisk immediately upon the conclusion of a distinguished service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." President McKenzie also quoted from the speech of Rev. S. W. Chase, the colored minister who acted as spokesman of the delegation which presented the book to President Lincoln. In part Rev. Mr. Clause said: "Since we have been incorporated in the American family we have been true and loyal, and we now stand ready to defend our country. We are ready to be armed and trained in military matters in order to protect and defend the star spangled banner. We come forward to present a copy of the Holy Scriptures as a token of respect to you for your active part in the cause of emancipation." EDUCATION AT HAMPTON General Armstrong's Views of Training For a Life of Service General Armstrong, founder of the Hampton (Va) Institute, often expressed himself as quite unwilling to undertake any scheme for the upbringing of a race which did not include girls as well as boys. He considered of vital importance, as did Booker Washington, the improvement of home life. Each year shows an improvement in the equipment and character of the Hampton girl. The domestic science and arts classes, the "gumption" classes, the academic course, the gardening, the carefully planned rotation system in all kinds of housework, the teacher training at the Whittier, the physical culture, the competitive games, the student government on corridors, the summer outing system and the newly organized Young Women's Christian association—all these give wonderful discipline to girls at Hampton. The weaving department with the training that it gives in the use of color develops the taste of the girls, a matter greatly assisted by the girls' advisory committee, consisting of the domestic science and arts teachers, the wives of some of the colored workers and a girl from each class chosen by the girls themselves. This committee gives valuable service in the matter of dress and influences the conduct of the girls in many ways. Major Motors reported at a recent factory meeting that the mothers of the Negro race had come to have implicit confidence in the care given their daughters at Hampton. The reports that come from the home when they were young were the most important school superintendents are most satisfactory. INDIANA MASONS MEET. State Grand Lodge Held Successful Session at Fort Wayne. After holding one of the most successful meetings in its history at Fort Wayne the third week in August the Indiana grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons selected Mount Vernon, Ind, as the place for holding the annual session in 1917.

This is a new portrait of Mr. Bacon. HOLD MAN AND WIFE ON MURDER CHARGE Detectives Find Body of Boarder in Grave in Back Yard; Woman Admits Killing. Akron, O.-With the arrest here of Mike and Annie Zicham on charges of first degree murder, police began the investigation of one of the most grewsome murders that has occurred here in years. Annie Zicham and her husband, Mike, are charged with killing John Mraz, 40, a boarder at their home, last Saturday and burying his body in the back yard of their residence. Mraz's body was unearthed by Detectives Eckerman and McDonnell. It was clad in underclothing. The first clew to the affair was brought to police when several of Mraz came to headquarters and said Mraz had been missing several days and they suspected foul play. McDonnell and Eckerman went to the boarding house on the case. Questions, put to the Zicham woman availed nothing. The sight of a place where the ground was dug up attracted their attention. In a few minutes one of Mraz's feet was uncovered the whole body was covered the head was severely bruised and cuts were on other parts of the body. Confronted with this evidence, police say, the Zicham woman told a story of having been insulted by Mraz Saturday evening. She said she first kicked him and then seized a stick of wood and beat him to death over the head. Mike Zicham told the same story. Police say x. They are said to have described to Detectives Eckerman, and McDonnell then how they dragged the body into the yard and buried it. It was late at night and no one saw them, they said. OBJECTS TO REVIVALS OBJECTS TO REVIVALS FUNSTON REFUSES TO ALLOW REVIVALISTS TO HOLD MEETINGS. San Antonio, Tex. — MuJ. Gen. Funston said he had no objection to the holding of revivals along the Mexican border by Baptist ministers, but that he did not wish such meetings inside the military camps. Revivalists, he explained, ought to obtain meeting places outside, where they would not disturb camp life. The general's statement was in further discussion of a proposal by Rev. J. B. Gambrell, corresponding secretary of the Baptist general convention in Texas, to hold meetings in camps. Exports Hit New Record. Washington, D. C. — A world's record for exports was set by this country during August, the department of commerce announces. The exports totaled $510,000,000. This is $35,000,000 higher than the previous record established in May. River Steamer Sinks. Cincinnati, O. — The, steamboat Reuben Dunbar of the Green line, coming down the Ohio river in a heavy fog, struck a snag just above Moscow and sank. All passengers and the crew, as well as her cargo of freight, were saved, according to report. Le Failure as Teacher. Boston, Mass. — Edmund Trowbridge Dana, grandson of Henry W. Longfellow, has been found by a Boston friend carrying the hod in a Canadian town. Three years ago he worked as a street car conductor for the same reason that he now slings brick and mortar—he desires to be a Tolstol. "Every time I've had a position as teacher in a college I've been fired," he continued. "I seem to be willing to tell my whole mind to anyone, they said. Such a trait is considered very naughty in a college teacher." JAIL TWO MORE IN BLACKMAIL PLOT Federal Agents at Chicago Nab Pair. Charge They Held Up New York Couple. Impersonated Federal Officers at Hotel in Which Man and Woman Chicago, Ill.-Secret service men have made two more arrests in their Chicago round-up of the blackmail "sindicate" and charged against their prisoners the extortion of $15,000 from a wealthy New Yorker—the largest single "shake down" the government is prepared to prove against the band. Posed as Federal Officers. On top of this charge, the department of justice charges that the extortionist, rising as federal officers, brought their wealthy victim and a woman with whom he was found in a New York hotel, to Chicago and kept them prisoners for more than a week in a Loop hotel. The men arrested are Homer T. French, alias "Jack" French, and James Christian, alias "Jimmie" Cross. French, who admitted he was unable to secure the required $10,000 bonds, was taken to the county jail and is still there. Christian, the "ristocrat" of the band captured in the Tyson hotel a week ago, was released on bonds. The latest and most sensational of all the government's charges against the "sindicate" concerns the alleged blackmailing of a prominent New York business man and a young matron residing also in New York. The blackmasters in this case, the government claims, were Homer French, George Iwkin and "Doc Brady". Here is the story told of the swindling by the department of justice: French, Irwin and Brady, representing themselves to be officers of the government, gained entrance to a room in a New York hotel and there found the man aid woman. Irwin informed the carer they were under arrest for violation of the Mann white slave set. "Would Listen to Reason." "I am United States Commissioner Mark A. Fount of Chicago," the department of justice claims the business man was told. These men are my officer and I have come to take you hook to Chicago for prosecution on a warrant we have here. The man and woman were taken to Chicago and while "prisoners," they were told definitely that "Commissioner Fount" would listen to reason. The New York man gave up $12,500 in currency—all he had. They were still held, however, and a few days later he secured $2,500 more which he turned over to the "officers." RESCUE PERILED CREW RESCUE PERILED CREW LIFESAVERS TAKE OFF MEN Portland, Me. The steamer Bay State, belonging to the Eastern Steamship corporation, which struck on the tip of Cape Elizabeth, has been abandoned by the last of her crew. The steamer began to pound so heavily that the men stalled the const guard who took off the 14 men in the breaches busy. All her passengers had been taken ashore earlier in the day by the lifeboats and the const guard cutter Ossippe. Would Give Trade to U. S. Washington, D. C. Auxubus to have little to do with Japan as possible in any way. China is making special efforts to give her former Japanese trade to the United States. Even now in Washington the burgee of foreign and domestic commerce and representatives of China—unofficial, it is true—are working to the same end. So far as the Chinese are concerned, the move is guarded with secrecy. The huge empire is unwilling to openly antagonize Nippon, at whose hands she has already suffered. Precicts Drv U. S. Before 1920. Columbus, O. W. Wayne B. Wheeler, who is general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of America, speaking here, said that a "dry" nation is now assured and asserted that an amendment for national prohibition would be passed by congress for reference to the states before 1920 and that the "ship of state will be in dry dock within five years thereafter." Farmers Battle Fire Kenton, O. O., Over, one hundred farmers are battling a spectacular brush fire which three miles west of McFaffey and which already has destroyed hundreds of dollars' worth of corn and other crops. In a few hours the fire had burned a strip one mile wide, and three miles long, and was threatening thousands of dollars' worth of onion crops. No farm buildings are menaced yet, but several lie in the fire's path. The flames started in dry weeds on Scio toon mourn near McFaffey. WILLIAM M. CALDER was nominated by the Republicans, for senator from New York, defeating Robert Bacon in the pri- lor. BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN NEAR DETROIT Flag Flyer on Michigan Central Rifle Safes in Express Car and Overawe Passengers. Detroit, Mich. — Armed bandits just before midnight held up and robbed the Chicago-New York flyer No. 14, on the Michigan Central railroad, two miles east of Dearborn, in the suburbs of Detroit. The bandits uncoupled the mail and express cars from the train and hauled them to a point two miles, distant. After looting the safes the men made their getaway. According to the story told the Detroit police, the flyer, which does not stop at the little town of Dearborn, was halted two miles east of the station by a man waving a red lantern. The engineer brought the train to a stop. As he swung out on the steps of the cub to see what had caused the waving of the danger signal, the engineer was confronted by a masked man who pointed a pistol at his head. The fireman was similarly covered on his side of the building. While the engineer and fireman under the orders of the bandits, re-enforced by the guns, were uncoupling the baggages and express cars, some of the bandits entered, the sleeping cars filled with slumbering men and women and patrolled the aisles with drawn pistols, warning the passengers any outcry would mean death. When the train failed to reach Detroit at 11:55, schedule time, the alarm was given and soon the standing train was found. Several automobiles loaded with policemen and deputy sheriffs left Detroit for the scene immediately upon receipt of the word of the holdup. DEMANDS FREE ENTRY DEMANDS FREE ENTRY JAPANESE EMBASSY SAYS FIGHT OVER ALIEN LAWS WILL BE RENEWED. Washington. D. C.-Japan's purpose to renew for the European war her contention for the right of her people to enclave to and own land in the United States, suggested in New York by Baron Yoshiro Sakatani, former finance minister in the Tokyo cabinet, was frankly admitted at the Japanese embassy. The position of the Japanese government, according to informal statements by embassy officials, still is that restrictions on immigration and land holding are not only derogatory to her dignity, but are unjust under international law in that they are discriminatory against her in favor of other nations. Removal of these restrictions, it is explained, are regarded as Japan's third and final step in her rise to statehood, the two being the abolition of extra territoriality and the negotiation of -commercial equality treaties. --- Elected for Fifteenth Time. Findlay, O.-Mrs. Ruth K. Stephens has been elected to the presidency of the county W. C. T. U. for the 15th time. Pleade Unwritten Law. Akron, O.- The unwritten law will be the defense of Michael Zdicham in the murder of John Mraz, church organist, whose body was found buried in the Zdicham cellar. Zdicham in a written statement to Prosecutor Kennedy said he killed Mraz, a bachelor, after Mraz had told him he had been intimate with Zdicham's wife, Anna. Both Zdicham and his wife pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the case. Mrs. Zdicham first told the story that she killed Mraz. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. GREECE JOINS WAR ON ENTENTE SIDE French and British Forge Ahead Along Somme. Capturing New Positions. Bulgarians Report Forcing Back Offensions Along Macedonian Front; Berlin Says Russians Fail in Their Attacks. Amsterdam, Holland — King Constantine has decided to cast the lot of Greece with the entente allies. The decision of the king was reached at a secret council of the ministers in which sat Constantine's queen, Sophia, sister of the German emperor. Give Germans No Rest. No rest is being given the Germans by the victorious Franco-British forces on the Somme front. The British capture of the long resisting Thiepval stronghold, following closely and unexpectedly upon the capture of Combes by the combined allied forces, was itself followed up by a new stroke by the French south of the Somme, where they grove out the Germans from Vermandovilliers and captured a strongly fortified wood west of the town. The British, on their part, smashed ahead in the direction of Faucoul L'Abbaye, says London. A strong German counter attack on the new French positions from Bouchaveaux to south of the Bols L'Abbaye farm was repulsed with heavy losses, according to the official statement issued by the French war office. Apparently this new French drive is aimed at Caunhes, which bears to the southern end of the Somme line somewhat the relation that Combes did to the northern sector. The French lines already have been pushed in well south of Chaundes. **Bulgarians Stiffen Resistance.** In Macedonia the entente forces are encountering a stiffened Bulgarian resistance, especially west of the Vardar region. Paris reports Kalmakalcan height subjected to repeated attacks by Bulgarian forces, but declares the Serbians held fast, to the captured position. An official statement from Sofia says that after 10 days of heavy lightning between Serbian and Bulgarian troops on the western end of the Macedonian front, the Bulgarians forced back their opponents, compelling them to retreat along the whole front. Official reports just received from Bukharap take back nothing of the claims made by the Romanians of a notable victory over Field Marshal Von Mackensen in the great battle of last week in Dobrudina. The Romanians and their allies, it is declared, defeated heavy forces along the Danube end of the front and then, while the rest of the line held fast, the allies broke the resistance of the Bulgarians, Germans and Turks near the Black Sea and drove them back in disorder. On the Russian front Berlin says the Russians failed in an attack in Galicia along the Ludova sector. The Italianas report their troops have occupied a high position between Mernari and Tovo, west of Monte Cimone, in the Trentino region. REPORT U-BOAT ARRIVES BERLIN PAPERS SAY BREMEN HAS REACHED NEW LONDON: NOT REPORTED. Berlin, Germany, via London—The Berlin newspapers are acclaiming enthusiastically the arrival of the German submarine Bremen at New London. The Connecticut town has jumped to a point of prime interest, and the newspapers have found it necessary to describe its situation by the aid of maps. All the newspaper print a sketch of Capt. Schwartzkopf, captain of the Bremen, who was for a long time in the service of the North German Lloyd Steering Co. He served for years on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and distinguished himself in rescue work in the Hoboken pler fire in 1900. There have been many reports of the expected arrival of the merchant submarine Bremen at various ports on the Atlantic coast recently, but up to the present time she has not docked in any of them. Fight Over Girl Will Die Toledo, O.—Rivals for the affections of Pattie Lewis, aged 19 years, Dan Greene, 35, and Dick Evans, 27, quarreled. Evans shot Greene through the right eye. As Greene fell he to drew a revolver and fired a bullet into Evans' abdomen. Both men are dying. New Blackmail Plot Chicago, Ill.—Investigation of a new blackmail plot, in which, it is alleged, a wealthy Iowa man was fleeced out of $10,000 by methods similar to those employed by the "million dollar Blackmail syndicate," recently exposed, has been started by federal officials. The Iowa man, a widower, is said to have been duped, by a young woman and a man who posed as a government agent and "arrested" the Iowa on a charge of violating the Mann law. CITIZENS HONOR DEAD SOLDIERS LEADERSHIP OF S. A. DUNCAN Prominent Speakers Pay High Tribute to Tenth Cavalry Members at Mammoth Memorial Meeting Held Under Auspices of the Pilot-Gazetto and the Salem Lyceum. New York.—Not since the welcome reception to the "fighting" Tenth cavalry on its return home from the front a few years ago has there been such patriotism and face loyalty displayed by our people as was true of the meeting held at Salem church, in this city, on Aug. 24 in honor of the dead heroes who fell in the battle, of Carrizal, Mexico. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Pilot-Gazette, edited by Samuel A. Duncan, and the lyceum of the above named church. Editor I. mean deserves great credit for the masterful way in which the SAMUEL A. DUNOAN. ESQ. memorial was carried out. The auditorium of the church was overcrowded, but the interest in the meeting was so great that those who could not gain admission to the edifice remained outside and cheered the glowing tributes of the speakers with as much pleasure as if they had first row seats on the inside. The program was presided over by Mr. Duncan, who in his introductory address in part said: "No greater honor could come to me in the line of duty than that of presiding over a memorial service of this nature. Certainly it is one of which any man might well be proud, and I would not be responsive to those human instincts to which we are all heir if I did not feel some little claation over the position in which I find myself on this occasion. It is not for me, as the presiding officer, to cover the field that will be so well gone over by the ladies and gentlemen who shall also speak. And yet I should not be living up to the time honored custom of a presiding officer if I did not, in the popular vernacular, impute some attempt at least to strike my keynote." "We are gathered here for the purpose of honoring the illustrious dead of our race who fei'i am! The gretas and blinding sands of Mexico while defending Old Tibet, while battling against numerical odds to uphold the honor and dignity of the country of which we are a part. Men never died more gloriously. Soldiers of no race or country ever went to their deaths more cheerfully or covered themselves with greater fame or by their heroic deeds wrung greater praise from a reluctant nation than our boys in black, members of the same regiment that on another' historic occasion, in the face of shot and shell, charged up San Juan Hilt in good, heroic fashion, singing the song that has since been immortalized. There, Will Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight." "With that song upon their lips they brought home the hurds. They turned impending defeat into glorious victory, and the stars and stripes, which had been trailing in the dust, were again perched on high as a result of the forlitude and value of the men of the gallant Tenth. When can their memories fade? Never, never while there be within the human breast hearts that are loyal and true; never while men, despite differences, as to race, are willing to recognize virtue, loyalty, devotion and patriotism. "In extolling the herosom of our dead brethren we are but singing our own praises. The dead are no more; they have gone to their reward. For if it be true that those who die upon the field of battle receive the reward of the just, then the members of the Tenth cavalry, whose spirits died from their short term and mangled bodies at Carrizal have received theirs.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1916. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's policy evidently is to yield first and discuss the merits of a controversy afterward. Champ Clark deplores any "waving of the bloody shirl," and points to Taft's magnanimity toward the South as shown by his appointments of Southern Democrats to the federal bench. The plea is silly and one-sided. Wilson does not make it a practice to appoint Northern Republicans to the bench or to anything else if he can help it. Republican administrations are national. Democratic administrations are sectional. The record proves it. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, a North Carolina product, evidently is not pleased with the election in Maine, for his paper, the Raleigh News and Observer, says that "Maine went hell bent." That is not at all complimentary to the intelligence and patrolism of the voters of Maine, who listened to Daniels' speeches and then voted the other way. They are likely to resent the North Carolina estimate of their action and do some more voting of the same kind in November. "The law in his in (Jefferson's) mind was the guardian of all legitimate ambition. It was the great umpire standing by to see that the game was honorably and fairly played in the spirit of generous rivalry and open the field to every sportsmanlike contest."—Thomas Woodrow Wilson. Which was the great umpire in the threatened railroad strike, the law that provided for arbitration or the president who staked his political future on a game which was so unfairly played? One ardent defender of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson says that in the wage-increase legislation demanded by 20 per cent of the railway employees, Wilson took the only course that was open to him. Perhaps so, but if Grover Cleveland had been in the White House, there would have been other courses open to him. It makes some difference who has the task to perform. The job was too big for Wilson, so perhaps it is true he took the only course a man of his make-up could take. A DESERVING OFFICIAL In this contemptible fight on Warden Thomas, of the Ohio Penitentiary, The Gazette is with the warden. He is one of the ablest, fairest and best men to hold that position in the last thirty years. That he is a Democrat has absolutely no bearing on the case, as far as we are concerned. We have yet to meet an Afro-American, or other person, who has been an inmate of that state institution while Mr. Thomas has presided over it, that has not praised his fairness, broadness and kindness in the handling of the deserving prisoners under him. As is well HON. PRESTON E. THOMAS. known, he is an acknowledged expert, one of the very best in the country, in his handling of criminals. Instead of trying to drive him out of the position, the Willis administration should stand by him. And we say this as a life-long Republican, too. The next president of this great country visited Cleveland the first of this week. We need not name him; you know whom we have reference to; don't you? --- Speaking of percentages, the New York Evening Post, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor, figures it out that Milliken, governor-elect of Maine, received Taft's vote of 1912 plus 112 per cent of Roosevelt's, and that Hale, senator-elect, got Taft's vote plus 108 per cent of Roosevelt's. When Maine Progressives come back to the old party they evidently bring their sheaves with them. THOSE LIMA "OUTRAGES." Thrice in the last four or five weeks dispatches to the daily newspapers of the country announced that a Negro had assaulted a white woman in Lima. The alleged assaults were coming so thick and fast that our curiosity was excited and we wrote to the chief of police of that city for information. Following is his reply: Lima, O, Sept. 26, 1916. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—In reply to your recent inquiry: There have been three ALLEGED attacks made on women in this city since the assault on the Baber woman, which occurred in the country about four miles from town. In the first case the woman an alleges that it was a Negro who entered her house and asked her to go into the bedroom. She escaped with injury. In the second case, a woman very ill alleged that a WHITE man entered her room, but offered no violence. This might have been the delusion of a delirious person. In the third case a woman of questionable character was slashed across the face by someone whom she 'believes to have been a Negro. She says the man was result her, but demanded money of her. In the first case, the police arrested a colored man whom the woman positively identified as the man, and the grand jury put so little credence in her story that they did not indict him. In the other two cases no arrests were made. These are the facts from which you can draw your own conclusions. Yours truly, R. H. MKINNEY, Chief of Police. From the foregoing it will be seen that as a matter of fact there has been but one assault in the last month or two at Lima that can with any show of fairness be charged to "a Negro," and there is some question as to that one because when Mrs. Baber, the alleged victim, was asked to pick out the guilty person, she failed to do so. The chief writes that she did do so. He may be right. If so, then that Lima newspaper correspondent, who has been sending out false reports as to the number of "Negroes" charged with assault in the last few weeks on white women there, is doubtless responsible for the statement as to Mrs. Baber's failure to identify her assailant when Sheriff Eley had several "Negroes" taken before her for that very purpose. The chief's letter is apparently so frank and fair that we are inclined to place full faith and confidence in it. No one can fully estimate the harm that has been done our people, the country over, by the false reports sent out from Lima in the last few weeks. It is a pity that the person responsible for them cannot be punished. He is a disgrace to journalism. ANDREW J. LHORE "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens, regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice'. We want in this country what is right. I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want what is right and fair, I desire to see both fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood"—Charles E.

DANIELS IN COURT; NOT GUILTY HIS PLEA Lima, O., Sept. 26.—Charles Daniels indicted by the Allen county grand jury on a charge of criminally assaulting Mrs. Vivian Baber and whom an enraged crowd of 5,000 persons sought to lynch, was arraigned in open court this morning before Judge William Klinger. When the indictment was read Daniels pleaded not guilty. Two counts were contained in the grand jury's finding, one charging criminal assault and the other assault with criminal intent. His trial was set for Oct. 4. Elmer McClain, Esq., was appointed by the court to defend the accused man. Daniels was taken back to the Allen county jail and officers say he has been kept there the past week without the knowledge of the public. Immediately after his arrest, Daniels was taken to the clerked he was the man who had attacked her. Sheriff Eley sent three Negro prisoners from the county jail, chained together, to the city hospital to see if Mrs. Baber could tell the difference between faces. The woman immediately picked out one of the men as the one who attacked her. The man she accused had been in jail here for three months. His Method. "In writing a play," we asked the successful dramatist, "do you develop the plot first or do you simply start with the first act and let the plot develop itself." "The very first thing I do," he replied, "is to submit my connect with the manager to the best swer I can find." DOINGS OF THE RACE The N. A. A. C. P. has raised its $10,000 anti-lynching fund. Editor Harry C. Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, on many points of public policy, differed materially with Dr. Booker T. Washington, but the doughy Buckeye never abused him nor made any personal attacks upon him. At the time of the demise of the great educator, Mr. Smith graciously stated to a friend of the Wizard: "Several times, when Dr. Washington made periodic visits to Cleveland I accepted invitations to meet him at local hotels. These visits were appreciated and appreciated by us. There is no question but that his death is regretted by those who agreed and those who disagreed with him.—R. W. Thompson in Houston (Tex). Freeman. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS. Atlas Skipper, of Blackrock, Ark., while digging muscle shells in Black river, Sept. 10, found a 30-grain peel which he sold to Dr. Pepper and Henry Straus (both white), local peppers for $900. The New York Age asks if ministers are short of race pride. We believe that the great majority of them are and this applies to every trade and profession among our people.-Richmond (Va.) Planet. In keeping with its custom of excluding the Afro-American wherever possible, the democratic Wilson government has ordered 35 officers of the Army to serve for duty to the Haitian constabulary. No matter how radically editors or others may disagree on public issues, there is seldom any good reason why they may not be cordial and friendly in their personal relations. It is only the narrow-minded individual who has the power to be seldom matters simply because they are at variance on a single proposition. This is a time when Colored men of all creeds, political faiths and private occupations should hang together—to avoid being hanged separately—R. W. Thompson in Houston (Tex.) Freeman. Another Manual, a lad of Oklahoma, has an income of $50,000 a month from the oil yield of his allotment in the heart of the Cushing oil field. A number of mills in Philadelphia and New Jersey have in recent months employed hundreds of our girls from the South. Cities of the second class cannot incorporate schools in Kansas. This is the ruling of the Supreme Court of the State. The good bishop (Alexander Walters), who receives 'a salary large enough to support his family (of two) in comfort, and a few donations and extra besides, should have buried the $100 appointment which President Wilson has just given Mrs. Walters, he made. That would have been the proper attitude of a well-paid Bishop of the Church of Christ, and a Colored man, whose people has been insulted and discriminated against by the President of their native land.

GIRL ATTACK VICTIM DYING Lima Has a Third Assault by a Negro in Three Weeks—State Guard Held as a Rioter. Lima, O., Sept. 21.—Miss Sophia File, 23, is dying in a hospital here tonight as the result of an attack on North Jefferson street by a Negro. He attempted to assault her and she resisted. He cut her face and throat with a razor. The Negro is being sought by the entire Lima police force, aided by citizens whom they deputized. This is the third assault on women by Negroes in three weeks. O. N. James, a guard at Lima State hospital, was arrested late last Saturday night on a grand jury indictment because of the recent mob attack on the jail and Sheriff Eley. James is charged with attacking an officer with intent to lynch a prisoner. A BURNING SHAME AND DISGRACE TO ALL St. John's Willis "Boost" Meeting The North Ohio A. M. E. Conference Appointments, Etc.

St. John's church, Cleveland, and its pastor were severely criticized for permitting the Willis political meeting in the church, on a recent Sunday evening, under the "cloak" of an "emancipation celebration." Nearly all of the ministers of the conference felt that it was a burning shame and disgrace not only to "St. John's" but also to the conference and the entire church. The parents of the Ibis hotel for such meetings; the church of God should be held too sacred to be used to "boost" any political candidate's chances of election, even the governor of the state. N. O.

Friday afternoon, the conference was given a sight-seeing tour in automobiles by the Chamber of Commerce. The greater part of the minibus was comfortably seated and enjoyed a long and circling ride about the city and vicinity. A great deal of fun was created, however, when the machine, in which the Revs. L. W. White, M. N. Culpher, Wm. Watson, C. H. Young, W. P. Myers, and J. A. Price were riding, broke down about 10 blocks from the church, on the home-stretch, and the afore-named had to help push the poor "tired-out" thing to one side and hustle to catch a street-car so as to finish the ride. SENATOR FORAKER ILL. The friends of America's greatest statesman, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, will be sorry to learn of his serious illness. The Senator is too ill to think of taking up active campaign work this fall, which he had planned to do in behalf of his old friends, Hughes and Fairbanks. No one regrets this more keenly than the Republican candidates themselves, who knew that with Foraker behind them their cause, their chances for victory were that much greater. Cincinnati Republican.

THE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL, DURHAM, N. C., extends a cordial invitation to the heads of Universities, Colleges and Secondary Schools, for the education and training of Colored people in the United States to be the guests of the School November 21-24, 1916, for the purpose of Conferences, closer unity and understanding of the needs and educational requirements of the Colored people. Among the subjects to be discussed particular stress will be laid on the following: 1. What is the opinion of the Educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in Schools in the various communities? Has it been hurtful, unwise and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the situation? 2. To what extent should classes devoted to Teacher Training be encouraged? How and where located? 3. What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural Teacher? 4. What should be the standard of the University, College, Normal School, Teacher Training and Secondary Schools? 5. How should students be received from one to the other? 6. To what extent should religious instruction be carried on in the various Schools? 7. Where should there be a general clearing-house for aid for Negro Schools? 8. Is the aid given by the various Funds and Boards to Negro education wise, economical and helpful? Many other and kindred subjects will be announced on the tentative program, which will be published in the early Fall. This Conference has been suggested by a great many who desire to know the actual condition and needs of the School devoted to Negro education from those who are actually doing the work. Conference in respect will be more far-reaching in its effects than this. The guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training School. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration, which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. Do you approve of such a Conference? Will you be present? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Yours for service, James E. Shepard, President. "O, LORDY, YES, 8 WIVES AT 98. An Aged Kansan Takes Another Chance With a Bride of 44.

While employed in the East last week, Monday morning, our young ladies had rathering experience. About 11 of the member of the race, knounced front door. When she opened told her his "name" and said been sent there by some one the "lady of the house" about work. The young lady, referred to call "milady" and on turn saw the man with her book which he had left on the counting the money. When he back the lapel of his coat to purse and money in an inside she "landed" on his hand with pin, a woman's handiest the broom excepted, possibly blow made him drop purse and Then the young lady proceeded hastily for "the lady of the who was just behind her.

A Columbus correspondent writes: "The Ninth Battalion, in addition to do guard duty, loaded and unloaded wagons, covered ditches and some of them were digging ditches. They did not help do any building. You see, Mr. Smith, one half of the world does not know what the other half is doing. So that was the way at Camp Cedar, the boys were working—and the other half did not know anything about it." Mrs. Edna Anderson Gregory, a native of this city and former public school teacher, and her three children passed through the city, last week Wednesday, en route to Washington, D. C., from her summer home at Linwood park, Vermilion. Her mother, Mrs. Julia Bardine, an old resident of this city, highly esteemed, came to the city with her and will stay there for weeks. She stopped at Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gibson's. E. Edd. St. The great majority of the members of our local Ministers' Alliance denounced, and bitterly, too, the recent Willis "boost" political meeting, at St John's A. M. E. church on a SUNDAY evening, under the cloak of an "enmanual disguise," and the disguise was pretty thoroughly discussed at one of their meetings recently. Many members of the church are, too, very outspoken in denunciation of the affair, and the trustees disclaim all responsibility for it. Mrs. Nettie Ricks Demby, of Keeling, Tenn., a native of this city, writes the editor of The Gazette, Sept. 25, 2013, that she had radio nearly five weeks. This place is wonderful. Father Demby and my climb alone half-way up Pike's peak. We go to Kansas on the 25th and then attend our Church (Episcopal) convention at St. Louis, Mo. We have had a beautiful and restful trip.

Jones, pres.; Arthur Morton vice-pres.; Mr. Warfield, treas.; Mr. Lewis, sec., and E. F. Montgomery, historian. Mr. John W. Stanley, one of our oldest residents and for years one of our leading citizens, died last week. The funeral, the first of this week, on Monday, was largely attended, several lodges participating in the services, the deceased being one of the pioneer seasons of the city, and the author a written letter of Four children survive him: Mrs. Carrie Langston and Mr. John Stanley, jr., of Detroit; Mrs. Susie Johnson and Mr. Alexander Stanley of this city. They have the sympathy of a host of friends and acquaintances in both cities. The superintendent of the Infirmary (at Warrenville) wrote The Gazette, on Sept. 22, 1916, as follows: "In answer to your card, inquiring about S. W. Wilson, I wish to advise that our records show his demise on September 22, 1916. You know that at present we have but four Colored men in the institution—George Clark, J. L. Lilley, Louis Green and Gus Gaston. We have an Infirmary orchestra and Louis Green is the leader; so you see that he is contributing to what little pleasure there is left in life for the limates here." Mr. Wilson, an old citizen, a former member of the Infirmary, Henry Kidd, long deceased, whom all of our older residents will remember. Henry was very popular. The public school domestic science centers of this city announced, the first of the week, that meats and groceries cost more in the 11th ward than any other place in the city except one and that one is in the vicinity of St. Clair Av. and E. 152d. St. Their figures, for a year past, are based upon the per capita cost for meats and groceries at many points in the city. This proves what The Gazette has from time to time, for years, claimed and called its readers' attention to. The meatshops and groceries up Central Av. way have little or no "heart" in dealing with our people and the poor whites who live in that vicinity, and it is about time for our people to awaken to a full realization of the fact. Mrs. L. A. R. Cunningham, mother of Mrs. Marian Alkerns of this city and Mrs. Nona Beng. For youstown, died, St. Mary be her daughter's, in that city, after several years' illness. Heart trouble. The funeral services, Sept. 16, in this city, at Undertaker Willis chapel, were largely attended by many of our older and leading residents and conducted by Rev. G. V. Clark. A trio, consisting of Mrs. Edwina Seelig, Mrs. Daisy Underwood Wade and John H. Kellog, sang applause for the appreciation, adopted by the Old Folk's association of which Mrs. Cunningham was a member, were read. The deceased being an old resident of this city, well-known and highly esteemed, and this being the home of her daughters for so many years, very naturally resulted in the formation of a large circle of friends who sincerely heart, felt sympathy to her daughters. While employed in the East End last week, Monday morning, one of our young ladies had rather a thrilling experience. About 11 o'clock, a member of the race, knocked at the front door. When she opened it, he told her his "name" and said he had been sent there by some one to see "the lady of the house" about some work. The young lady, referred to went to call "milady" and on her return saw the man with her pocketbook which she left on a shelf. There was $11 in it. The man was counting the money of his coat to stuff the purse and money in an inside pocket, she "landed" on his hand with a rolling pin, a woman's handiest weapon, the broom excepted, possibly. The blow made him drop purse and money. Then the young lady proceeded to yell lustily for "the lady of the house" who was just behind her. The man tried to get away bft the two women and the rolling pin were too much for him. He is of the kind that will start a mob surging up Central Ave. to wreck our churches and business places, some of these days. His kind have been "raising Ned" throughout the city for several days. The "language" just is a woman of the kind. He is of the kind that will start a mob surging up Central Ave. cursing a man, Tuesday morning, too often heard from that kind of men and women in that vicinity, these days, was something FIERCE. The emancipation celebration at Mt. Zion Congregational church, last Friday evening, was so unlike the political affair at St. John's A. M. E. church on a recent Sunday evening, incorrectly styled an emancipation celebration, as to cause a comparison much to the discredit of St. John's alleged celebration. Mr. Robert Turner, of E. 37th St., opened the meeting with Mr. Wm. C. Amos, a speaker of the evening, a member of the other race, Wm. Wm. C. Amos, of N. Y. City, a native of Maryland and long a resident of that state, Virginia and Washington, D. C., delivered one of the most up-to-date and remarkably pleasing addresses it has been our good fortune to listen to in years. After a thorough discussion of "holidays, celebrations, anniversaries and special days", Mr. Amos in an exceptionally interesting manner sketched much racial history, spoke eloquently of the great leader, friends of the race, like Lincoln, Judge Albion W. Tougee and others; spoke of the great progress of the race since 1865; of our splendid record in the wars of this country; of the great men and women in many fields of endeavor the race has produced, like Edmondia Lewis, Banneker, Bannister, Ira Aldridge and his daughter, Geo. W. Williams; spoke of the material possessions, and advance of the race since 1865, our success in politics, really a remarkable one in marked contrast to the stereotyped political "boost" talk of Gov. Frank B. Willis at St. John's church on a recent Sunday evening. It was interesting, encouraging—in inspiration to all who heard it. ALL HAIL, "THE HAMMER!" For many years we have heard a lot about throwing the "hammer" into the discard and giving time to "constructive work." Many have said: Build up; never tear down. But knocking and tearing down are just as necessary in the economy of things, as building up. Battering down Wrong is a useful process and must usually precede the building up of Right. "Foul as it is, hell itself is defiled by the fouler presence of John." That was the terrible verdict of the contemporaries of King John of England. In his person were combined insolence, selfishness, unbridled lust, cruelty, shamelessness and tyranny. The barons rose against him and demanded a change A. D. 1215; they invited the king to a little meeting at Runnymede and they informed the absolute monarch that there must be some material modifications in the autocratic power of the king. John did not relish the demand, but he realized that he stood alone and that the barons had their little "hammers" up their sleeves and were ready to use them, so he granted the Magna Charta. The Great Charter was discussed, agreed to, and signed in a single day. Thus modern democracy and liberty had their origin in "hammer" work. In the sixteenth century the Catholic Church had grown corrupt. The priests were guilty of immorality, extortion and all the other crimes in the decalogue. The Inquisition was working overtime. When conditions were at their worst, Martin Luther appeared on the scene armed with a "hammer," and he battered down the Devil so strongly entrenched in the church. Thus began the Reformation which separated the Protestant church from the Romish See, and conferred inestimable benefits on mankind. For many years the American colonies had been oppressed by England, the mother country. The colonies protested against taxation without representation. Mother England refused to heed the cries of her children, so in 1775 the colonists revolted, the first blood shed being that of Crispus Attucks, a mubatto, whose valor the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has commemorated in enduring granite and bronze on Boston Common. The continued "hammering" of the colonists finally brought the liberty which was proclaimed, July 4, 1776. In the seventeenth century, African slavery was inaugurated in America. William Wilberforce and others "hammered" at the vile wrong in England. The agitation was continued until the year 1834 saw the abolition of slavery in all British colonies. Bond-service had a strong hold in the United States, but the abolitionists had already unsheated their "hammers." William Lloyd Garrison. Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Sumner and hundreds of others "hammered" the great evil until the slave holders' rebellion came, when "hammers" were exchanged for guns, and with the assistance of nearly 200,000 former slaves, who fought nobly, the great blot was wiped from the escutcheon. The work of the hammer is not yet complete. Thousands of social wrongs still exist which must be hammered until they disappear. Thousands of men, such as women- slavers, jimcrowists and their ilk, men who 'would barter their birthrights, must be hammered until they beg for mercy and reform or are knocked into hell. Great is the hammer! Long may it exist to knock down the Wrong; to build up Right.—St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. "ALL HAIL, THE HAMMER!" A Tribute to Fearless Race Workers—The "Jim Crow Crowd" and Segregation. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 18, 1916. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor to Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Dear Mr. Smith—I have always admired your stand for the rights of our people. You have been fearless and have not hesitated to use your "hammer" on the "jim crow" crowd, and it has been very effectively done. The Appeal's editorial, "All Hall, The Hammer," is a tribute to your work as well as that of others who have fought the good fight. Long may you live to battle for the cause of Right. The family and relatives of Mr. John W. Stanley, deceased, extend their thanks to their many friends and the several lodges for their kind remembrances in their bereavement. MRS.

STILL UNDER $65,000 BAIL Charged With Extortion at New York Hotel; Rich Man Confesses That He Was Prey of the Blackmailers. New York City.—The first member of the octopus "blackmail syndicate" to receive the penalty of the law, William Butler, was sentenced by Judge Martin P. Manton to 18 months in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta. Conviction Speedy. The conviction of Butler in such summary manner is taken by the authorities to foreshadow the speedy destruction of the gang. Hitherto the members, in their frequent clashes with the law, have been able to defy the authorities. Butler was brought to New York under two indictments. One charged him with conspiracy to fraudulently represent a government officer. The other charged him with the extortion of $858 from Mrs. Regina S. Klipper of Philadelphia. Butler pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge. "I guess the jig is up," exclaimed Butler when Assistant United States District Attorney Knox, in charge of the blackmail prosecution, displayed the evidence against him. "I've been under arrest 16 times, but I've never been up against it like this before. I was never convicted or even indicted." Butler's plea and sentence does not grant him immunity of the charge of extortion at a New York hotel. He is now under $55,000 ball for hearing in Philadelphia and Chicago in connection with the blackmail operations. Confesses He Was Dupe. Chicago, Sept. 27—Announcing that he had concluded to "accept personal humiliation" to save other men and women from being drawn into the blackmailers' trap, Edward R. West, vice president of the C. D. Greg Tea & Coffee Co. of New York and Chicago, admitted that he is the "A. R. Wesley" who was surprised in a New York hotel with "Alice Williams" by representatives of the band of Mann act blackmailers recently exposed by federal officials. The blackmailers, after bringing West and the woman to Chicago, talked the man out of $15,000 in return for a promise to keep quiet. "The woman with me was not Alice Williams, but a woman member of the gang," West said. This woman is under surveillance in a Chicago hotel, pending the outcome of the preliminary hearing of John T. French George Irwin and "Doc" Brady on charges of blackmailing West. French who has used "Jack" and "Homer" as aliases, is said to be the son of a wealthy St. Louis widow, who believed him to be engaged in the haberdashery business. YOUNGSTOWN REPORTS MURDER MYSTERY Mutilated Body Found in Culvert; May Have Been Assailant of Little Girl. Youngstown, O.—The local police authorities are working hard on one of the most puzzling and grewsome murder mysteries in the history of the city since the finding of the body of a man with his head and arms missing here in a tunnel under a B. & O. culvert west of the city. The man is unidentified and the police have little or nothing to work upon. The body of the man was found by Nick Pavelko, a foreigner who was seeking a lost cow. When found the body had no clothes or shoes and had begun to decompose. Did one of the posses which took part in the hunt Saturday afternoon for the assailant of six-year-old Lucille Harris, who was assailant in Mill Creek park, find their man? This is one of the questions detectives working on the case are asking themselves. In many ways the description of the man found tallies with the description of the man who brutally assaulted the girl and for whom a score or more of men hunted. The location of the place where the body was found adds color to the theory. Another theory is that as the place where the body was found is near a camp of section men, possibly a fight among the foreigners might have resulted in the murder. Family of Fighters Portland, Ore—Mrs. F. B. Merryman watched the enlistment of her fifth son to enter the United States army. He is J. B. Merryman. 19. He is the 291st member of Mrs. Merryman's family to join the army since the Revolutionary war. "Two of my sons are already in the army," said Mrs. Merryman. "Two others have served their terms of enlistment and been honorably discharged as sergeants. When the two in the army attain the ranks of sergeant, they will be ready for civil life." Can't Fight. Kills Self. Lynchburg, Va.-Richard R. Riebschlager, aged 26, former fireman in the German navy, is dead here from wounds sustained by shooting himself through the head with a revolver while standing on a grave in a cemetery here. He committed the act, his friends believe, because of his inability to return to Germany to fight. Riebschlager came to this country aboard the Bremen I prior to the beginning of the war, and had made unsuccessful efforts to return to Germany. Pretty Clothes for Small Maid NEW FUR POPULAR NEAT SPORTS COAT M. Little People Have Been Giver Attention of the World's Greatest Designers. VELVET VERY MUCH IN FAVOR That Material Exceptionally Fashionable, Though Many Others Are Distinctly in Style—Some Hints for the Proper Costuming of the Schoolgirl. There are mothers by the thousands who know not Lannvin. She may be a new perfume, an old wine or a racehorse, for all they care, but way out beyond the bounds of the post office, youngsters wear the things this gifted woman has designed. Unmarried, devoted to her meces and nephews and building for her family brood a spacious and artistic home near Paris, kind of heart and clever of brain, she has glorified the schoolgirl and put her stamp on the children of the world. The older women will tell you she has done something greater than that; she has made the middle-aged woman look like the schoolgirl, and that gives her the prestige of a sartorial alchemist, a brewer of magic. It is her verdict that the small girl shall wear small clothes. She has made tiny little frocks for kindergarten wear that button down the back and barely reach the knees. To give a touch of gavety, she has embroidered baskets of roses on her frocks. She ignores the waistline and flares her little gowns straight out from shoulder to hem. In Black and Light Colors. Jenny does differently; she adopts black velvet for small girls and also takes up with taffeta in the second mourning colors of violet, mauve and Skirt of Chiffon With Deep Cream Lace Bands; Bodice and Polonaise at back of Deep Blue Satin.

Paquin has also taken up with juvenile costumery. She has reflected the thrill of romantic delight which the French give to their Scotch allies by turning out plaids and tartans that no little girl would be ashamed to wear to school. In all this costumery designed by Paris for juveniles, the skirts are short and full, the bodices slim and tight, the necks cut round and finished in a simple manner. In materials, velvet is exceptionally fashionable; so are tarfeta, silk, chiffon, Georgette crepe and the different weaves of army cloth. In the clothes that are not intended for the nursery there is a certain aim of sophistication that has been lacking in American clothes for a decade or two. So much for the real youngster. What of her older sister who is going to boarding school or college? Costuming the Schoolgirl Costuming the Schoolgirl. It is no slight task and cannot be accomplished in leisure moments—this arrangement of a 'schoolgirl's wardrobe. The wisest plan is to give her enough clothes to last until the Christ- SETS FOR BETWEEN-SEASONS Hats and Scarfs of Velvet and Fur Provided to Wear With the Tailor Made. Lovely sets, consisting of the hat and shawl collarette or crush collarette, are featured in New York. These sets combine velvet with fur and will be exceedingly smart worn with the demi-tailleur. A typically youthful set had a mushroom poke hat, the crown an extremely high, puffy tam effect in midnight blue velvet, while the brim was of old-rose cut wool. The shoulder shawl collarette was of velvet, and was lined with the cut wool, the top of which was folded back on the velvet, forming a sort of cuff effect and adding a touch of color. A tiny band of silk flowers in old rose finished the hat in front and formed the fastening of the collarette. Another very good-looking set consisted of a large sailor hat of mole color velvet, the brim bound in mole-skin, and the trimming being four molekins buttons with gold cord loops, --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1916. mas holidays and not attempt to dress her now for the entire year. This, argues the mother is too extravagant a plan to put into practice, although it is good in theory. A little experiment, however, will prove that this really makes for economy. There are few adults who care to wear the same gown throughout ten months of the year. A woman may not want to keep abreast of the fashions, but no woman is guiltless of the desire to show her public that she knows what they are. This feeling is far more potent in a young girl than in a grown-up. She cares not for quality nor quantity. She wants the last thing at the right moment. If she is compelled to wear the same new frocks from October until May, she will rebel. The consequence is that she will worry her mother into giving her some new frocks after the New Year, with her former ones still valuable. Therefore, try the system of giving her just enough to last her through the Christmas holidays, and take advantage of the reasonable prices of fashionable clothes at the shops. Making for Economy. It is perhaps wiser to provide her with two one-piece frocks and a top coat in than with a tailored suit so early in the season. The classroom frocks which used to bother mothers' minds so much is now simplified by the universal fashion of separate flannel skirts, sweaters and shirt waistals. There are many schools in which the girls insist upon wearing wash skirts throughout the season, but this is an extravagant fashion because of the laundry bill. The preferred shirtwaist is of silk instead of cotton, which calls for a bit more money in the beginning, but which saves more in the end. The top coat seems to be essential. There are admirable new ones brought over from Paris and also designed in ```markdown ``` Frock of White Georgette Crepe With Flounce of Midnight Blue Satin, Skirt Fastened Down Back With White Velvet Buttons. Hood Collar Finished at Back With Silk Tassel. America. The smart ones have loose, circular capes that flare away from a half-flow, rolling collar, with a fastening on the side instead of in front. As for the one-piece frocks, they can be chosen in any color and material that the girl likes. There must be one for afternoon and informal evening wear, which the French designers make up in white or cream lace with colored satin or in Georgette crepe with satin. The Hats They Wear One of the new hats for schoolgirls is excessively good-looking, made of plaited black velvet, and silver braid. It is a combination of the hats of sullors and Chinese mandarins. France, you know, took hold of the Chinese influence again as soon as she introduced the Louis XV fashions. The embroidered hat has had its day. The colored felt hat, soft, silky felt, with a large, flopping brim and a soft, deanted crown, will rival fudge as the schoolgirl's chief delight. In deep pink, without a touch of any other color or trimming, it is strongly desired. (Copyright, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ranged from the crown center to the brim edge. The collarette of this set was of the muffler type and combined the moleskin and mole velvet. Still another was of black velvet and striped novelty fur that had a tonch of yellow in it; this was carried out on the hat in the form of a woven gold thread duck that formed the solitary central trimming. Braid Monograms. Here is a new, quick and inexpensive way to letter household articles. Buy a five-cent card of old-fashioned rickrack braid in blue, pink or any desired shade. Draw your letters and securely fasten down one end of the braid. Now twist the braid so that all the points are toward the outside of the letter, then sew to the material. This takes only a few minutes to do, and looks very well, especially on bath towels or other large articles.—Woman's Home Companion. Flower Necklet A charming fashion for small children of the smock-wearing age is a flower necklet to match the smock. VARIED EFFECT IN TRIMMING Beaded and spangled capes are in Just at first our leading furriers refused, with indignation, to use rabbit skins in any form, writes a Paris correspondent. But little by little these autocrats have been forced to give way. Dyed rabbit is the craze of the hour. This is an undeniable fact. And it is certain that chinchilla-dyed rabbit is a very pretty little fur. It is so short that it looks almost like plush, but then it is deliciously soft and supple. This fur was introduced at the end of last year by several prominent mannequins from famous Paris houses. They appeared on the Grande Plage of Blarritz, wearing the loveliest tricolor sweaters which had large collars and deep cuffs made of some strange gray fur. Everyone asked, "what is it?" And it was difficult to arrive at a correct answer. In this way general curiosity was aroused in connection with dyed rabbit, with the result that no one felt really astonished when it was announced as "the correct thing." Nearly all Redfern's winter skirts are rather long, compared with the skirts of last spring. Some of his models in cloth and serge almost reach the ankles; others are just long enough to cover the tops of high laced boots. These skirts are almost as wide as ever but they are made of such supple stuffs that the folds fall straight from waist to hem. Redfern is using a great deal of fine blue or black serge; and he is making lovely morning suits in pure white faced cloth, the latter often showing cape collars and deep cuffs in musquash. With pure white tailored suits the most effective boots are those made of supple black patent leather laced up the fronts, not at the sides. These boots have high Cuban heels and they are extremely smart. The toque I have sketched this week is one of Carlier's new winter models. It was Caroline Reboux who first made cap-toques so popular with our Parisiennes, and now Carlier is showing many close-fitting models which look like inverted bowls and which cling quite close to the head and hair. The toque shown in my drawing was made of skunk-brown velvet and the trimming consisted of a band of skunk which was passed round the toque and then twisted into a very high, wired loop directly in front. I have seen a similar toque made of rich violet panne and trimmed with a band of dark brown mink. Carlier is making some uncommon and charming toques of rich brocaded satins which have been traced over with metallic threads. These toques are almost always trimmed with narrow bands of fur and sometimes a bright red rose but is introduced at the back, close to the hair. CORRIGHE Dedicand & Adorandus Long beach, the noted resort on the Atlantic coast, at Long Island, was the stage on which the latest fall fashions were exhibited in the fashion revue. The models shown were beauties for the coming fall season. The accompanying model is a dainty Georgette dress. The skirt is trimmed at the bottom with silver lace. One of its striking features is the length, as Dame Fashion decreed the skirts on the coming fall dresses shall ankle length. The attractive Collarettes and muff are of Hudson seal, trimmed with ermine. Present Styles Lend Themselves Really to Adornment That Means So Much to the Appearance. The present use of pocket ideas in dresses gives the opportunity for decorative motifs and bandings, and the new polonalise and tunic ideas require an edging to complete their effectiveness. For this purpose straight-strand silk fringes are used. Wool fringe is also applied to the bottom of dark wool skirts. Beaded tassels, ball fringes and drops are used to finish sashes and the deep corners of collars. Beaded fringes in new colors will trim the new evening dresses, jet being used on black evening gowns. Beaded novelties in rich Indian colors are very smart. Ball fringes and boleros in these shades are handsome. A new garment is for use over skirts having plaid hips and gathered or full backs. For party frocks pasted shades are used. A new idea in silver trimming the use of a very large filet mesh which suggests a fish net in appearance. Lewis—whose malson at Blairitz is world-famous—is showing many eccentric velvet and satin hats which seem turned up at every possible and impos- A A Close-Fitting Cap of Skunk-Brown With Band and Loop of Skunk A Close-Fitting Cap of Skunk-Brown Velvet With Band and Loop of Skunk. sible corner. These hats are so original in shape that they do not call for any trimming. They are accompanied by a pair of handsome hatpins and the very latest thing in vests. MIST-SHADED TULLE GOWNS Exquisite Shades Shown in Costumes That Have Reached This Country From Parisian Costumers. New evening gowns from Paris seem to be made of the soft colored mist that one sees sometimes at sunrise or sunset. They are composed of delicate tulle, or of the more delicate nets. A lovely one is a mixture of peach tulle and orange tulle. These two colors are very happily combined, the peach tones toward the top of the gown, mounted over white chiffon, and the orange tulle forming the skirt ruffles and a drapery which replaces a sleeve. Black net or dark blue is hung over light blue chiffon in another dance frock. An odd bluish shade of green girdle, embroidered with green gold metal bullion, encircles the waist. Both fur and flowers are seen on some of these gowns, the fur, slender strips of erineum or marten, harmonizing rather than contrasting with the gown color. The flowers are more little tufts of tinseau胶, disclosed to view by the way they catch the light on their metal threads. The skirts are a little longer, just below a low boot top length. While full, they are so gauzedelike and lilip that even then the four or five yards of fullness does not make them stick out much. Sleeves are nil—a drapery, flounce or bertha falling over the arms.—New York Herald. Block Patterns in Color Block and check patterns are very much seen among the new phloisteres for this season. They are to be employed in all parts of the house, as well as for veranda cushions. There are enormous block patterns in black and orange, green and white, brown and white, etc., and there are much smaller patterns in duller shades which are more suited to conservative taste. Gray and white in the small block is very charming. The gray is really most lavender. In these small block patterns there is a great variety in color combination. Fur Sleeves in Velvet Wraps It's no use deterring the discussion of fur, for it's already appeared too often to be ignored. Not merely as collars and capes, for they have never gone away, but as part of the design of dresses and coats. Short corselet jackets of cloth and velvet are made with fur sleeves and conversely Russian coats of smooth, short fur have sleeves and scarfs of velvet, and even of chiffon. Effective Drapery. Hip drapery makes the women with the large hips appear to have smaller ones than heretofore. A few folds and slight drapery is an improvement rather than otherwise; but when they come to be distended by crinoline, whalebone, etc., they lose any blance of grace, and the amount of material required is exasperating. Beaded and spangled capes are in short and in long, flowing styles, the former for use as a dress decoration and the latter as a gorgeous evening wrap. An effective pattern is composed of a huge orchid in the natural coloring on a background of jet. Subdued shades of wine red, green, shrimp pink and blue are also adopted. Hats of Allover Gold Brocade Oriental brocades and embroideries are being used to cover flat-brimmed sailors and small tricornes. The linings of these hats are of dark flowertoned velvet, and the only trimming is a gilt buckle or one of semiprecious stones. Boiled in Buttermilk If clothes have become mildewed, or if they are yellowed from lack of use, bolling them in buttermilk will effect a cure. They should be rinsed well in warm water, then dung in the sun. Appliqued Flowers. Sprays of flowers are appliqued on the silk skirts of young girls' evening frocks—the silk being velled with tulle ATTRACTIVE GARMENT FOR FALL AND WINTER WEAR. Preferably Designed to Be Made Up in a Wide-Checked Velour, But Other Material May Be Employed If Desired. The sketch illustrates an exceptionally well-designed sports coat for falf and winter wear. The smartest fabric sports coats reach to the knees or slightly below, while fur models termed "sports coats" are considerably shorter, the average length being 32 to 36 inches. In the original design a wide-checked velour is employed; but this coat could also be very effectively developed in one of the Scotch, English or Irish mixtures, in bright plain-colored velour or of two-tone corduroy. This latter fabric is being featured by some of the textile houses for sports coats. One of the points claimed in its favor is that it should be a fall and winter rival of and substitute for the ribbed silk in contrasting colors which has had such a tremendous vogue during the summer season just closing for sweaters and sweater coats. A fair range of colors and color com A Smart Fall Model Sports Coat. binations are noted, and as a sports coat fabric this two-tone corduroy certainly seems to have a good deal to commend it. It is the indisputable right of every sports coat to have a beautiful lining, and the model sketched is so favored. Lining silks offered for fall and winter selections are extremely good looking, and are so vividly colored that it would be easy to doubt after looking at them much that is said concerning a "dye shortage." Floral, parrot, butterfly and fruit patterns are shown and futurist color blendings are looked upon with favor. Returning to the subject of the coat shown in the sketch. Note that it flares widely from the shoulders; that it is equipped with a very becoming check scarf collar, and that big buttons trim it well. To make this coat for the average figure $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards of coating 54 inches wide would be required. Spill and Match Holder. The increase in the price of matches makes it more desirable than ever to use spills when possible in place of matches, but at the same time it is Spill and Match Holder. necessary to have matches at hand as well as spills to obtain a light in the first instance. Under these cir- cumstances it is a good plan to keep both matches and spills together and use the latter whenever an opportunity occurs. We give a sketch of a very decorative and pretty holder for this Fashion Hints. Newer than the sailor hat is the scoop shape with the shortened rim in the back and a suggestion of a poke in the front. A charming long coat has a chasuble back. Rabbit fur is the favorite of fur trimmings. The frock of jersey is seen a great deal. Suit coats promise to be longer this winter. Hats are simply trimmed, but brilliant in color. Soft white satin hats are liked for soots wear. Corsets for large women were never so well made as now. Cross-stitch the collars and cuffs of the gray frock with blue. Attractive Luncheon Set. One of the most attractive and dalyunie setown sets is made of white colors. Just now there seems to be a vogue for embroidery in dif- purpose in which both these little articles can find a place. In making it cardboard is used as a foundation, and a piece of the shape shown in the diagram on the right of the illustration must be cut out and perforated at the points indicated by the dotted lines. The card is covered on both sides with pale pink silk and the pockets next sewn in place, and in doing this the needle and thread is passed through the perforation in the card. The holder is edged throughout with a claret-colored silk cord which is arranged in loops on either side, with ends that hang downwards, knotted and frayed out into tassels. For suspending the holder from a nail in the wall a loop of ribbon with a rosette bow at the top is attached to the upper part, and it is further ornamented with four rosettes sewn on at the points indicated in the illustration. Some pretty little floral design such as suggested in the sketch can be worked upon the front of each pocket and at the top of the back of the hold. Gav Patterns of Silk. Quint medallions and bouquets and prim little baskets of flowers are scattered over the surface of soft silks. Rings of several colors and of irregular shapes are dropped at widely spaced intervals over other silks, and on others highly decorative patterns are used. Georgetje crepes have baskets of flowers scattered over the surface. A fine taffetta broche, which combines crispiness and softness in just the right degree is ornamented with a little flower which never grew on land or sea. Stripes are very fashionable and are cleverly used. Gray-patterned linings are used in coats and suits. Delicate organdie embroideries are used in a number of dainty ways; many are lightly touched in color, and especially old blue and delicate rose. Embroidered nets touched in color are used for entire frocks as well as trimmings, Hints in Fall Millinery. The shops are already showing a good many autumn models. One of the first departments in the world of dress to be affected by the change of seasons is millinery, and although we may expect to wear thin suits for several weeks to come, we must change our headgear without delay if we wish to consider ourselves fashionable. Why it is that a velvet hat on a hot summer's day is supposed to be chic is hard to understand, but the fact remains that fashion has decreed just this combination popular, and women have bowed with alacrity to this decision. On the whole, hats are high. Crowns rise to really astounding proportions; ribbon bows are placed at just the right angle to add a few inches to the hat they adorn; plumage of all sorts is arranged so that it gives height; everything, in fact, has an upward tendency—Pittsburgh Dispatch. Neat Ornament for Table. This is an attractive little novelty that is simple and easy to make and that will look pretty upon the writing table, dressing table or mantlepiece. It is constructed with five little twigs of wood fastened together with tiny thin sharp nails. The twigs should be left in their natural condition—that is to say that the bark should not be peeled from the wood. The small sketch on the right of the illustration shows a back view of the easel, and the two unright pieces of wood in front are fin- Easel Watch Stand. ished off at the top with glass-headed pins run into the ends of the twigs till nothing but the heads are visible. When the easel has been completed it is covered with gold paint, and a piece of broad velvet ribbon stretched tightly across the front and the ends of the ribbon sewn securely together at the back. In the center in front, close to the upper edge of the ribbon, a dress-hook is sewn and upon this hook the watch may be suspended in the manner illustrated. This hook is bound round and round with very narrow ribbon matching the velvet. Practical Coat. For storm, motoring and traveling use there is nothing like a coat with an optional hood—a deep collar, which can be buttoned up to form the hood when desired. ferent colors. This set consists of only seven pieces, and yet virtually covers the whole table. The largest piece is the runner, being the length of the table from end to end. Then there are two other pieces one-third the size of the runner. These are placed on either side of the runner at the middle, giving the effect of a double runner. Then there are four small dolls set into the four corners. The napkins may be embroidered to match. A very fetching color scheme is pink, green and a little black. Of course, if you have a blue dining room, the set would be charming worked in blue. Proper Skirt for Basque Bouse. Designed especially to be worn with the basque blouses which extend six inches or more below the waistline are skirts of broadcloth and satin, the waist and hips of which are smoothly fitted. If they have plats, these are attached to yokes. But the most successful model is circular, with a seam in the center of the back and another in front.
