THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY DR. WASHINGTON'S DENIAL Booker T. Washington Emphatically Denies the Dispatches sent out from Philadelphia two weeks ago. The Whole Story he claims is a Cruel Misrepresentation and does him Great Injury. VOL. XVII. DR. WA TON'S Booker T. Washington Empha- ses sent out from Philade- Whole Story he claims tion and does h (From Atlanta Independent.) Tuesday morning the Constitution, our morning contemporary, and other dailies, carried the dispatch purporting to come from Philadelphia alleging that Dr. Washington had announced the justification of Ulrich's unwarranted and brutal attack upon his body in New York; that Dr. Washington stated in an interview that Ulrich was justifiable and did no more under the circumstances than any other man would have done; that if Ulrich had reasons to believe that some Negro had been bribed to kidnap his daughter, he had a right to assault him without notice or warrant, and that so far as he was concerned, there would be no prosecution. Now these statements in the daily papers were so inconsistent with every sense of decency and honor that the Independent at once wrote Dr. Washington asking him to confirm or deny the truthfulness of the interview. We publish below the correspondence. We could not believe for a moment that Dr. Washington, in teeth of the support of his friends and the press who believe so firmly in his innocence and who so universally condemned the assault, could so far forget the allegiance of his friends as to pardon an assasin or an attempt to take his life in cold blood. The correspondence explains itself and exonerates Dr. Washington, and the confidence of his friends is still firm and explicit in his integrity. Atlanta, Ga., Mar. 28, 1911. Dr. Booker Washington, Tuskegee Institutute, Ala. My Dear Brother—I notice a dispatch in the Constitution from Philadelphia, March 27th, to the effect that you had justified Ulrich in attacking you, and that you had stated that he had not done any more than any other man would have done under similar circumstances; that he had a right to attack you if he believed his daughter was about to be kidnapped. I want to know did you authorize this interview or is their any truth in it whatever, so far as you are concerned? Faithfully, B. J. DAVIS. Tuskegee Institute, A. March 29, 1911. Mr. B. J. Davis, 16 $ \frac{1}{2} $ N. Broad St., Atlanta, Ga. My Dear Mr. Davis: There is not the slightest truth in the dispatch in the Constitution referred to in your letter of March 28th. I am sending you herewith copy of telegram which I immediately forwarded to Mr. John S. Durham aa soon as I saw the dispatch to which you call attention. There is not the slightest truth in the statement either that I justified the attack made upon me by Ulrich or that I intimated that he would not be prosecuted. (Telegram) ence, Ave. Philadelphia, Pa. Please see or telephone Dr. Talcott Williams, editor of the Philadelphia Press, tonight that this paper has done me a serious injustice in printing the interview which I am informed appears in Monday's paper. I have not intimated to any one that Ulrich was justified in attacking me, or that the prosecution would be dropped. (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Hayden of Denver made a flying trip to San Pedro in a Hoxey Biplane. They are quite fashionable in Los Angeles now. Harry says he was glad when he struck the ground.

While in Los Angeles they were entertained by Mrs. Beatrice Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon and Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell who are living at the Gordon Apartments. Their headquarters while in the city were at the Gordon Apartments. H. H. NEGROES TOO BUSY TO READ One often meets Negroes who claim that they are too busy to read. They offer this as an excuse for not subscribing for papers and buying books. I really think this is a piny lie or a silly attempt to appear important which is really pitiful. Any thoughtful man who has common sense is not going to allow himself to get too busy to give some time to reading which is the greatest means in the world for developing the mind. Every simpleton who tries to get along without reading is paying more to some reader for doing business for him than a few books and papers and fifteen minutes a day spent in reading would cost him. It is little and low to cook to get It is little and low to seek to get rid of an agent by shamming or lying. Be manly, tell the truth. If you have not got the money say so. If you have decided to quit patronizing race enterprises because you have been disappointed or deceived a few say so. But remember that the man who ceases to patronize race enterprises because you have been disappointed or deceived a few times or for any other cause deerves himself, cuts off his own nose to spite his face and becomes as great an enemy to the race as the men who deceived him. As a rule we are too slack in business; we trust too many things to men's honesty. This is one foolish extreme. Then when we get robbed a few times we cease to patronize or trust any Negro regardless of how businesslike he presents his propositions. This is the other foolish extreme. We are supposed to a law and under this law all business should be transacted. When any person violates this law in dealing with you, it is only right and necessary that they be called to justice. If any man robs you give him to the law, and then trust the next one the same way. If you will take a friend's advice you will steal a few daily moments to read books, and papers especially. You will not only read the lines but will learn to read all the Negro papers you can get.—The Ethiopian Observer. Many Whites Evicted. The Seventh District Municipal Court was crowded Monday with white tenants who had been dispossessed by Nail & Parker, acting as real estate agents for St. Phillip's Church, which recently purchased apartment houses on the North side of 135th street between Lenox and Seventh avenues. Over seventy white defendants were present, and they told Magistrate Davis that they did not see why they should move because colored people bought the property. Magistrate Davis gave them until Friday to vacate the premises, and ruled that the agents could dispose of the houses according to their own desires.—New York Age. NEGRO WINS MEDAL FOR CHILDLS SLAVERY ORATION New York, April 6.—For the second time in the history of Columbia university, a Negro student has won the Curtis medal for excellence in public speaking, one of the highest scholastic honors in the gift of the faculty. This year's victor is George W. A. Scott, whose subject was: "Child Slavery." Scott's oration proposed a national law for the suppression of child slavery and the creation of a national children's bureau under the department of commerce and labor. "I stand here pleading for no race or creed," declared Scott, "but I say this: The nation which forty years ago was able to lift the shackles from 4,000,000 Negro slaves, should certainly be able to free 2,500,000 children." The first colored student to take a Curtis medal was Pka Isaka Simi, the son of a Hottentot chieftain, who was the winner in 1906. RACE NEWS Atlanta, Ga., April 4.—The Twenty-fourth Infantry Regiment, composed entirely of colored soldiers, is to be recruited to full war strength before sailing to the Philippines some time next month.

"Negro students have always paid the same tuition as the whites and have received equal consideration with them. "The young woman has posed frequently before classes in which there was a Negro and never objected to his presence. We have not and do not intend to draw any color line." Ithaca, N. Y., April 10.—President Jacob G. Schurman of Cornell university today brought to an end the controversy over admitting Negro women students to Sage college dormitory. In a statement issued by Mrs. G. S. Martin of the woman's advisory council, he says all Negro women students are to be admitted to the privileges of the women's dormitories if they request admission. Atlanta, Ga.,—Rev. H. H. Proctor, who has been pastor of the First Congregational church, colored, for sixteen years, is being given a trip to the Holy Land by his congregation. He will be gone for three months or more. In addition to spending twenty days in Palestine he will visit Egypt and the Nile, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Germany, France, England and Scotland. He is to make some addresses in England, and will attend the coronation ceremonies of King George. The death of Right Rev. Dr. James Theodore Holly, bishop of Hayti, the first colored bishop consecrated by the Amenican Episcopal church, was announced in a dispatch to the church authorities in America during the week of March 25. Bishop Holly was born in Washington in 1829 and was educated as a Roman Catholic. Becoming an Episcopalian, he was ordained priest of the Episcopal body in 1856 and became rector of St. Luke's church, New Haven. He was consecrated bishop of Hayti in 1874 in Grace church, New York. Chicago, Ill.—No color line will be drawn in the classes at the art institute. Newton H. Carpenter, secretary of the institute, yesterday said the refusal of a young woman model to pose while a Negro student remained in the classroom was but a "frame up" planned and carried out by a disgruntled NO 31 student. "The question of color never has been discussed by the trustees of the institute," said Mr. Carpenter. "Negro students have always paid the same tuition as the whites and have received equal consideration with them. "The young woman has posed frequently before classes in which there was a Negro and never objected to his presence. We have not and do not intend to draw any color line." Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa. After an illness which covered a period of about two years, during which time he was not altogether disabled, but complaining mostly, John S. Trower, the wealthiest Negro in Pennsylvania and probably one of wealthiest in the United States, passed away at his home, 5607 Main street, Tuesday morning. The most notable thing in his life was his great devotion to his church and Sunday-School. He was regarded as the back-bone of the Cherry Street Memorial Baptist Church, which is said to be the oldest free Baptist congregation in the United States. As a caterer he has served more notable dinners and parties than any other man in the United states. He prepared and served luncheons for more than fifty United States war vessels. It is said that on one occasion he received $10,000 for a luncheon served. It is reported that he is worth over $1,500,000. He leaves a wife and five children. It may not be generally known, but nevertheless it is a fact that a coloredman presides at the throttle of an engine that pulls one of the fastest trains on the Pennsylvania Line west of Pittsburg. His name is Wm. G. Burnes of Indianapolis, Indiana. He runs between that city and Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Burnes has been in the employ of the company for over thirty-five years. He began as a section hand and was advanced from one grade of service to another as he increased in skill and efficiency until he was promoted to a passenger engineer about twenty years ago. It is said that some of the most successful white engineers today owe their training to the careful teaching of this man. Moreover he has the reputation of being quite a student and is well informed on subjects of general interest. Mr. Burnes is a citizen of Indianapolis and he owns considerable property as well as being interested in some good investments.

Bryan would be worth $2,000,000 to Memphis, Tenn., as an advertisement, the Omaha Commercial Club thinks that "Jim" Dahlman, the cowboy mayor of Omaha, ought to be worth $1,500,000, and has suggested to the Southern city that she might get him for that sum. Announcement was made by the school land department that 1,535,862 acres of school land would be sold in Oklahoma beginning June 23rd. Purchasers may buy as many sections as they can pay for.

Greeley.—Work on the plains system of the Greeley-Poudre irrigation district from McGrew reservoir to the Poudre valley ditch, embracing six reservoirs and numerous ditches, will begin at once, with a double force and continue without interruption until the system is completed. While crews have been employed on the Dover reservoir and the main laterals of the system during the last two months, matters pending have been adjusted so that all contractors will push the work together. It is understood plenty of money is on hand to complete the system which will bring water to 125,000 acres of Weld county land. Extensive Oil Options Secured.

The concern is also securing options on every foot of land that is on the market and the deal may run up to over 100,000 acres all told. Their present base of activity is in what is known as the Basin and Clay Hill districts, covering a tract of land about twenty-five miles in length.

Goudy will leave for Washington in a few days to oppose the low line canal contemplated by the Reclamation Service for the competition of the Grand Valley irrigation project.

An alternative plan, known as the high line canal, has been proposed. It is a more expensive piece of construction than the low line canal, but as it will save the orchards it is favored by the Western slope people. Mr. Goudy has been selected by a number of irrigation districts of this section to represent them in Washington in an effort to have the desired change in the plans made. Several attorneys from the Western slope will also go to Washington to assist in the efforts to have the proposed low line canal, which will require a 100-foot right of way through the best Palisade orchards, abandoned.

There are now before the State Legislature of Colorado three appropriation bills which have a very direct and important relation to the irrigation development of this state. These bills were introduced by Senator Carpenter and have not yet been reported out by the finance committee. The first bill is entitled "An act concerning a division of topographic surveys, providing for the management and duties of the same, and for co-operation by such division with the United States geological survey, and making an appropriation therefor." The appropriation named in the bill is $10,000 annually. The nature of a United States geological survey map is probably known to every one who has been interested either in mining, irrigation or engineering work. These maps show the topographic features of the land, such as mountains, hills, valley and gulches; all bodies of water, such as lakes, marshes, streams and springs; the routes of travel, such as railroads, wagon roads and trails, cities, towns and permanent buildings, and the names of natural and other features, as well as permanent monuments which are available as starting points for local surveys, townships, section lines, boundaries and land grants. They serve a great variety of purposes, but are especially valuable in connection with preliminary locations of railroads, canals and highways, and are very useful to prospective investors and settlers in making a study of the country in which they propose to locate. They are also very valuable to travelers, prospectors, etc., as guide maps. They are very useful in the study of water powers and the development of the mining interests of the state. Three Important Bills. The House passed three bills on second reading and gave two other measures considerable attention. The three bills passed were Senate bill No. 192, by Hilts, a law regulating the warehouse business and the issuing of warehouse receipts; Senate bill No. 465, by Cornforth, a bill legalizing racing meets with an amendment providing for the holding of ten-round boxing exhibitions, and House bill No. 554, by Madden, making new provisions for the forming of road improvement districts. House bill No. 117, by Teller, reclassifying the counties of the state, and House bill No. 490, by Homer, providing for the licensing of real estate agents and brokers, were considered but final action was delayed. The Teller bill, reclassifying the counties of the state according to the latest census, is one of the most important introduced at the present session. The bill changes the pay of many county officers. Automobile Tax Bill. There is before the Legislature a bill imposing a state tax on all automobiles and motorcycles. It is claimed under the provisions of this bill $150,000 will be paid into the state treasury annually. For the registration of every motorcycle including the right of the owner to operate, $2. For the registration of every commercial vehicle used solely as such and every motor truck regardless of the horsepower, $5. For the registration of every automobile of less than twenty-one horsepower, $5. For the registration of every automobile of twenty-one horsepower and above, but less than thirty-one horsepower, $7.50. For the registration of every automobile of thirty-one horsepower and above, but less than forty-one horsepower, $10. For the registration of every automobile of forty-one horsepower and above, but less than fifty-one horsepower, $17.50. For the registration of every automobile of fifty-one horsepower and above, $25. The road district bill introduced by Representative Madden is one of the measures recommended by the Good Roads convention that met in Denver last winter. It makes changes that will allow the formation of road improvement districts in all parts of the state. The Homer bill providing for the licensing of all real estate brokers and agents is meeting with some opposition. The warehouse bill, passed on second reading, is one that has already been adopted in about twenty states. The warehouse men are contending that uniform warehouse laws are needed in all states so that warehouse receipts may be negotiable securities in any part of the country. The Civil Service bill as amended was passed on second reading. As originally introduced this bill provided for the abolition of the Civil Service Commission, but it has been amended so that the commission will be continued but changes made in the law to remedy defects in the present system of State Civil Service. A large delegation of clergymen waited upon Gov. Shafroth to request that he veto the Cornforth racing bill passed a few days ago by the State Legislature. GIRL'S ROMANCE IS ENDED Death of Her Lover Darkens the Life of a Beautiful Washington Young Woman. Because of a great personal sorrow, Miss Julie Appleton Meyer, eldest daughter of George von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, and a leader in the administration social circles at Washington, has retired from the gay life of the capital. Her withdrawal reveals an interesting romance. Years before when her father was ambassador to Italy Miss Meyer met a young Italian nobleman. It was a case of love at first sight on both sides, but because of the youth of each there was no formal engagement. The young people, however, exchanged pledges of affection, and were, despite their separation later by the Atlantic ocean, intensely happy in their hope of the future. In 1907 Mr. Meyer returned from Italy to become postmaster general. Miss Meyer and her lover corresponded and there did not seem one cloud on the horizon of their young lives. Just at the time when marriage between them might have been possible the young Italian developed tuberculosis. The disease made such rapid progress that a year ago everyone but the two most concerned knew a fatal termination was beyond question. Last year Mrs. Meyer took her A Miss Julie Meyer. daughter abroad for what proved to be a farewell visit to her suitor. They returned to Washington in the early winter, when Miss Meyer took her place as, usual in the round of gayety, only to hear in less than a month of the death of her lover. She at once withdrew from all social functions to ponder in secret upon the words of Whittier: For of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: "It might have been." WASHINGTON GIANT IS DEAD Lived for 33 Years, But Did Little Except Eat and Sleep, Being Too Ungainly to Work. There died in Washington the other day a giant who had existed for 33 years. It cannot be said that he lived because living would seem to consist of more than eating, drinking and sleeping; and that is all that this giant has ever done. He was too tall to work as most men work, and, of course, like men of his abnormal size, he was abnormal also. This Washington giant, John Turner, was seven feet seven inches tall. He could neither write nor read, and he had no disposition to learn. It is said that his rapid growth began when he was about twelve years of age. His hands and feet were abnormal, even for his gigantic form. From wrist to finger tips his hands measured 16 inches. The hospital physicians said that if he was proportioned according to his hands and feet he would be ten feet tall and would weigh 800 pounds. He was 33 years of age, but at this lived nearly nine years past the average mark for giants. Medical records show that they seldom live over the age of twenty-five. His one amusement was to sit and doze under the broiling sun during summer months and in the winter to crouch before an open fire and sleep. He was not an inordinate eater, as giants usually are, and had no taste whatever for alcoholic drink. He was hideously ugly and seemed abnormal in every respect. Made Tawney Sneeze. Representative Tawney of Minnesota is so fond of figures that he almost eats them. One of his most valuable possessions is a volume containing the secretary of the treasury's estimates for the appropriations for the fiscal year 1802; and on his achievement of this book hangs a tale. He was out in one of the house corridors the other day, with the book in his hand, which he occasionally opened, when he was seized with a violent spell of sneezing. As soon as he had recovered himself a bit, he remarked that it was the older custom to put red pepper between the pages of government documents to keep out the bugs, and although the hand that had placed the red pepper there had probably long been dust, the red pepper seemed to be as potent as ever; hence the sneezing. Bears In Demand. The secretary of the interior department has been deluged with requests for bears—real live bears. Some folks want full-grown grizzlies; others will be satisfied with cubs. A boy in Norfolk, Va., wants a polar cub "right away." A widow in western Pennsylvania would like to have two cubs. The lady has twins. IS NOT A FIFTH WHEEL VICE-PRESIDENTS HAVE OFTEN INFLUENCED LEGISLATION. Popular Notion That the Vice-Presidency is Merely a Supernumerary on the Governmental Stage is a Mistake. The popular notion that the vice-presidency is merely a fifth wheel on the governmental coach is a mistake. Recently Vice President Sherman broke ties in the senate which took place on three successive roll calls. This is the first time in the entire history of the government in which three ties the government coach is a mistake. Recently Vice President Sherman broke ties in the senate which took place on three successive roll calls. This is the first time in the entire history of the government in which three ties have taken place in succession in the senate. As the vice-president can never vote in that chamber except when the members are evenly divided, he seldom has an opportunity to make his influence felt in that way. Mr. Sherman's immediate predecessor, Vice-President Fairbanks, never voted, nor did Vice-President Roosevelt; but Vive-President Hobart did once, though on a rather unimportant detail. John Adams, the first vice-president, gave his casting vote 22 times in the first congress, that of 1789-91. At that time the senate was small. Only 11 states were represented at the outset in congress, when it met in New York, in April, 1789. North Carolina did not ratify the Constitution until November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island did not do this until May 29, 1790. Neither of these states was represented in senate or house until 1790, and then the membership of the senate was only 26. Manifestly tie votes would take place among this small number oftener than they did when the membership was largely augmented. As the chief work of the first congress was to shape the framework of the government. Vice-President Adams had almost as large an influence in national affairs in those years as had President Washington. Vice-President Calhoun, in order to wreak vengeance on Jackson and Van Buren, gave the casting vote against Van Buren as minister to England, early in 1832, and Van Buren, who was on duty in England at the time, was compelled to return home. Jackson, however, promptly countered on his Democratic and Whig enemies by placing Van Buren on the second end of the ticket with himself in that year, and their overwhelming majority at the polls was Jackson's notification that Van Buren was to succeed him in the white house, and he did this in 1836. Vice-President Dallas, in 1846, gave his casting vote twice on the Walker tariff bill and thus placed it on the statute book. In the beginning of the government the members of the electoral college cast their ballots for two persons, without designating which they wanted for president and which for vice-president, the one receiving a majority going to the higher office and the second man on the roll taking the second post. In this way Adams was chosen vice-president under Washington and Jefferson under Adams. Each of these, moreover, went to the presidency on the retirement of their chiefs. The procedure was changed by the Twelfth amendment, adopted in 1804, by which each elector is required to state on his ballot whom he wants for each office. Adams, Jefferson and Van Buren were the only vice-presidents who went to the higher office by election until Roosevelt. Including Roosevelt, however, five of them—Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur—became presidents on the death of their predecessors. Roosevelt is the only one of those who went up by succession who was able to gain the office subsequently by election. Wyman Discusses Pellagra. Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon-general of the Marine Hospital service, is seriously alarmed at the increase of pellagra in this country. He says there have been 50,000 cases discovered in one state. It is only a few years ago that the surgeon-general reported pellagra practically unknown in the United States, and now he says cases have been reported from 30 states and the District of Columbia. He thinks it necessary for the purpose of serving the interests of public health that the government shall take cognizance of the growth of the malady. Dr. Wyman does not agree with many very eminent scientists as to what causes pellagra. He declares it to be a disease of obscure origin, and says that the medical profession has made little progress in ascertaining the cause of the disease, and that they have all failed thus far to find a remedy. Opinion of a Senator's Wife. Mrs. Robert Gamble, wife of U. S. Senator Gamble, of South Dakota, thinks that needle work is a sure cure for divorce. She thinks that knitting and sewing keep a woman's mind occupied when otherwise she might grow unusocial and ill-tempered. She is kept very buoy, and avoids the perils which often lead to the divorce court. She says that instead of getting yourself in a white heat over your husband's cross words, have a piece of embroidery which you can easily take up and lay away and work in a flower or a leaf in the interval. STORM KILLS TWENTY-THREE TWO TOWNS WIPED OFF THE EARTH AND HUNDREDS ARE INJURED. WIND, HAIL AND RAIN KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA . ARE HARDEST HIT—MISSOURI ALSO SUFFERS. Kansas City.—Twenty-three persons are reported dead, at least a hundred injured, two towns practically swept away, scores of buildings demolished and thousands of dollars worth of property damaged as the result of a tornado that raged in Kansas and Oklahoma. The tornado was accompanied by rain, hall and lightning. Many buildings were struck by lightning and burned. Western Missouri was visited by a rain and hail storm but this section was not in the main path of the tornado. Telegraph and telephone wires were rendered useless in the worst stricken sections and it is probable that the complete report of the death toll and the property damage will prove much greater than they now appear. The tornado levied its greatest toll of dead at Big Heart, Oklahoma, where eight persons were killed, ten injured and almost every building in the town wrecked. Whiting, Kans., was practically wiped off the map, sixty buildings being blown down, thirty people hurt and one person killed. At Powhattan, Kans., a woman and a child were killed. The tornado was accompanied by a driving rain and swept everything in its path. Houses were blown from their foundations, and the occupants whirled through the air. The tornado struck Big Heart from the southwest. Scores of persons surprised at the town being suddenly thrown into a state of semi-darkness, rushed from their homes and business places only to be struck down by flying debris. At the edge of the village a hundred Indians were encamped. Their tents were gathered up like bits of paper and carried away. The town of Whiting was badly damaged and thirty persons injured. Among the buildings that were wrecked was the Midland Valley railroad station. The agent and telegraph operator are reported to have been killed. As a result communication with the outside world was cut off. The tornado had passed an hour before a message was sent to Tulsa for assistance. When the rescuers arrived from Avant and Tulsa they found fully 400 people homeless. Aided by the light of lanterns, which were frequently blown out in the drizzling rain and swift wind, the searchers experienced much difficulty in locating the dead and injured. Several bodies were carried outside of the village limits and were found in farmers' fields. A high school building was wrecked at Eskridge, Kan., a number of houses damaged and from fifteen to twenty persons injured. At Hiawatha, Kan., a schoolhouse was blown down, an eight-year-old boy named Pelton, Geraldine Meisenheimer, 10, and a small child killed. The Meisenheimer girl sought refuge with three companions in a country schoolhouse and the building was wrecked soon afterward. The dead girl's companions were uninjured. Several persons are known to have been hurt at Netawaka, Kan. A child was killed at Manville, Kan. The Kansas end of the tornado started near Whiting and swept in a southeasterly direction for a distance of more than fifty miles. It is thought that many more people were killed and injured than have been reported at this time. Telephone and telegraph crews are working, now that the storm has abated, to get their wires in shape. It is a big task, as the storm left only one telephone wire in operation between Topeka and Kansas City, and all telegraph wires between Kansas City and Oklahoma are lost. In Kansas City the storm did little damage. A few horses were killed by lightning and some buildings struck. The rain lasted about an hour and was heavy. Hail accompanied it. Charged With Killing Daughter. Boston.—Mrs. Clara Russell was rested on the charge of strangling her 12-year-old daughter, Marporie, at her home in Dorchester. Senate Committees are Busy. Washington.—Both the Republican and Democratic committees to arrange the Senate committee assignments for the present Congress began business in earnest by holding separate meetings and taking up the preliminary details of the work. Schenectady, N. Y.-Jacob W. Clute, three times mayor of Schenectady, killed himself with a pistol shot in the bathroom of his home.

It has just pu When that Southern grand-daddy franchise idea is worked out to its extreme limit, it will be a creature having a myriad of legs, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, with feelers sweeping from the Canadian border to the channel of the Rio Grande. It has just put one of its fuzzy stilts down in the state of California, and this western land of flowers and sun shine is wondering what new species of tarantula it can be. The chief and particular object of this strange importation is to dispel the dread menace of Oriental influence in California politics and to check whatever political power Chinese and Japanese residents may have in the direction of public affairs. California has worked herself into a racial frenzy over the audacity of her Oriental population in its desire to exercise the right of suffrage. It is an exact counterpart of the race question of the South transplanted to the Western Coast, with yellow men instead of black men as the offending cause. But the situation is so desperate, in the opinion of the Western land-master, that the unlimited restriction of a lineal disability is being resorted to, because it has seemed to work so well in other sections, and so, with the Chinese and Japanese are classed all other races whose rights of franchise depend upon so frail an institution as a federal constitutional amendment. A proposed amendment to the state constitution of California provides that the son of a person not entitled to vote in 1879 shall not be permitted to vote after its adoption. Colored residents of California fall within the disabling provisions and become a prospective sacrifice to the prejudice of the white Californian against the Celestials. If it shall be adopted in California there is no telling where this descendant idea may crop out next. The presence of a supposed, or a manufactured, menace to the supreme authority of the white American, is the only requisite necessary to cause the white people of any other state to resort to this refuge of the lordly coward who seeks to rule by an assumption of absolute authority. These proscribed people may and do own property and pay taxes, but that is not enough to entitle them to representation in the ranks of the electorate. What the framers of the Declaration of Independence had to say about the similar usurpations of King George has nothing to do with the case today. It is of no consequence either that these unfit elements do not aspire to office themselves, but merely exercise the privilege of voting for white candidates for the numerous offices. They are nevertheless dangerous and must be cut down by the ghostly power of the grand-daddy executioner. But this phantom subterfuge, this spook of presumption, is drawing nearer to the Supreme Court of the United States, whence many a restless spirit of a dead cause has been ordered back to its slimy sepulchre. EASTER AT SHORTER. The lady ushers have been very earnest in their preparation for this Easter's decorations, and the beauties of spring will be much in evidence at Shorter tomorrow.

Meaning of Easter BY EVANGELINE BOOTH ASTER ought to mean for New York the birth of a new hope of such a potential character as to carry with it salvation for both worlds. The Christ-man in HIS life is as a highway leading out into the citizenship of immortality. Any human being who has placed his feet upon this royal highway of life, even though his existence be the poorest, the commonest, the most restricted sort of an existence possible, has received a gift past all computation, beyond all imaginable value—the mysterious gift of life. He has before him all that eternity means to a child of the infinite God; and this infinite God is under infinite responsibility to do all He can to make this mysterious gift of life to His child an unspeakable blessing. The magnificent fact of another life sets a rainbow of hope against all the adverse conditions of this life. The question as to whether or not God's A Sweet: the chime the bells are ringing, Sweet the carol the angels singing: "Risen is our Lord most glorious, Over sin and death victorious." 5 T with the divine dress of the radiant springtide. Nature's book of purling brook, birdling's carol, hum of bee, heavenly tint of bud and blossom and the myriad voices of fen and forest that tell of springtide's rejuvenation is one to be studied by all men, and can only lead to one source—the God of nature himself. It is a living Christ we worship and serve. He conquered death and hell—for himself and for us; conquered them for this world as well as the next. The forces of evil need not have dominion over us. If we will come to him in penitence and submission he will infuse his divine life into our very being and make life a new thing to us. It is not a theory but a fact that the ascended Christ will so change the nature as to enable the individual to regard life from an altogether new viewpoint and realize that indeed, regardless of the pains and imperfections that beset us all, a spiritual "time of the singing of birds" has come. RUITION government is good becomes as nothing in the face of the certainty of another life and the chance of an immortal evolution. Blossoms may seem to fade here, but they will come to fruitage in the other life. Ideals may seem to be shattered here, but they will reappear hereafter, aglow with a new splendor. Every dream, every hope, every purpose—all shall find realization at last. Every shadow shall grow light; all loneliness shall find a presence that shall be company and joy. The bud which is now nipped by the frost shall yet bloom in beauty and sweetness. The fruit which does not get ripe in this climate shall yet ripen under the summer skies of immortality. Somewhere, sometime, somehow, we shall all attain to all that God ever gives us of sweet and true and beautiful. RISEN the story is throne of glory; of death set free— is thy victory? or harps of glory; the joyful story voice we sing, risen King, NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Sun Blamed for Variable Climate MacVeagh Will Abolish Red Tape INDIAN AFFAIRS PENSIONS PRAIRIE PRAIRIE THIS IS SOME JOB ALRIGHT LAND OFFICE W. SHINGTON.—Some idea of the gigantic task which confronts Walter L. Fisher of Chicago, the new secretary of the interior, can be gleaned from the fact that approximately $200,000,000 is expended annually in the department of which he has just been made the chief; 700,000,000 acres of public land is under his immediate jurisdiction, not including the territory of Alaska, and nearly 15,000 employees take their orders from him. The importance of the department to the country at large cannot be overestimated, especially at this time when the country is insisting upon an administration favoring use of the national resources of the country on the public domain and in Alaska, which will not only permit immediate development, but conserve these resources for future generations. Establishment of the interior department was the direct result of the accession of territory following the Mexican war and general increase in population, wealth and business. It was made a sort of catchall for government business which could not be conveniently transacted by any other department. At the present time the secretary of the interior has supervision over the following offices and institutions: General land office, in charge of Commissioner Fred Dennett, which supervises the survey, management and disposition of the public lands, the adjudication of conflicting claims relating thereto, the granting of railroad I ALWAYS GET THE BLAIME FOR EVERY THING THAT GOES WRONG AS a result of the action of congress at the last session in making a special appropriation of $5,000 for the purpose, Dr. C. G. Abbot, director of the astro-physical observatory of the Smithsonian institution, will be able to complete within the next year an investigation which was begun in 1905 and which, if it arrives at the expected conclusion, will result in a discovery of the first rank, such as is not often made in astronomical work. This investigation is expected to prove that the radiation of the sun varies and that this variation produces a corresponding variation in the temperature of the earth. While this discovery, if made, will have its highest value for pure science, it will also be of great benefit in its application to agriculture, to long-distance weather forecasts and other practical purposes. To complete the tests which have CARBACE CAN THAT IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THOSE THINGS DEALERS in corsets are not pleased with the latest fad of the Washington smart set. On excellent authority it is said that to be strictly swagger nowadays a woman must discard the engirdling stays—a thing not impossible with the present style of empire girdled frock. The younger set promoted the "back to nature" idea. There have been many smart dances this winter, and one after another the youthful damozels have cast aside the artificial form. The first girl to appear at a dance uncorseted created a mild sensation. But so materially did her innovation affect her career as a belle that the subsequent dances were remarkable ILL GET RID OF SOME OF THIS RED TAPE WHILE the customs service is being rehabilitated there is a disposition at the treasury department to clip off red tape wherever possible. The abuse has grown up through many years, and Secretary MacVeagh wants to eliminate it and practical politics whenever he can. A collector at a small port in New Jersey, who has a record of collecting 50 cents a year and drawing $40 in salary and expenses recently was called to account for not sending certain docu- and other rights of way, easements, the issuance of patents for lands, and with furnishing certified copies of land patents and of records, plats and papers on file in that office. In the national forests, he executes all laws relating to surveying, prospecting, locating, appropriating, entering, reconveying or patenting of public lands, and the granting of rights of way amounting to easements. The employees of the department are divided among the various branches of the service as follows: Office of secretary, 307; office of the assistant attorney general, 23; general land office, 1,487; office of Indian affairs, 5,705; patent office, 934; pension office, 1,579; bureau of education, 178; geological survey, 1,063; reclamation service, 1,745; bureau of mines, 198; hospitals, 909; parks and reservations, 86; territorial and District of Columbia, 26; office of superintendent of the capitol, 22; total, 14,262. Of course, the big thing in the public eye in the department of the interior at the present time is the conservation question, involving as it does a definite policy for the administration of the public domain with especial reference to Alaska, as well as the contiguous territory embracing the states. Arising under the present laws, however, is the Cunningham coal claims in Alaska and the water power sites' controversy, both of which were involved in the Ballinger-Pinchot embroglio, and both of which will have to be dealt with by Secretary Fisher. Even while considering these important items, however, Mr. Fisher must ever have an eye on the general administration of the whole department, which is one of the most comprehensive in the entire government. been and still are being made at the observatory here in Washington (sea level), at Mount Whitney (three miles elevation) and at Mount Wilson (one mile elevation), Dr. Abbot finds it necessary to establish a station in the cloudless region of southern Mexico. Observations then will be taken at the new station, and at Mount Wilson simultaneously, and if the two sets of measurements should agree the conclusion will be proved. Congress has provided for this trip to Mexico by adding $5,000 to the appropriation regularly made for the work of the astro-physical observatory, to the intense gratification of Dr. Abbot and Secretary Walcott of the Smithsonian institution, as they are hopeful of success attending the undertaking. While the expedition will not set out for Mexico until next July, when, it is hoped, peaceful conditions will be restored in the southern republic, the work of preparation already is under way. The appreciation of the work that Dr. Abbot is doing is shown in the fact that during the past year the Draper gold medal was awarded by the National Academy of Sciences to Dr. Abbot for his valuable research in solar radiation. for the number of girls who had suddenly taken up the dress reform she started. The older folks didn't like it so well, and the criticism stirred up even drowned the commotion caused by Justice Harlan's overhauling of the swagger set for its disregard of proper Sabbath observances. But it was different elsewhere, and not to be outdone by the younger circle a number of the smart matrons introduced some novelties into their costumes. Mrs. Huntington Wilson attracted much attention by adopting the heelless slipper. Mrs. Wilson, who is one of the most picturesque women In Washington society, "dresses to her own style." Her gowns, which follow the lines of her supple figure, are unlined and weighted by a fall of crystal embroideries. Her hair she dresses with Grecian simplicity—the wnole ensemble agreeing perfectly with the satin shod feet, guiltless of the erstwhile popular Cuban heel. ments in connection with the payment of his salary. He made this protest, which has been preserved among the archives of the treasury: "I was criticised because I had failed to make an affidavit that I had paid myself my salary. In spite of the fact that I had sworn to my monthly accounts that I had paid myself my salary, I had not sworn that I had received the salary which I had sworn I had paid myself. This last affidavit cost me 25 cents. "I then had to put in a voucher for the 25 cents and make an affidavit that I had paid myself the 25 cents. This, according to a new ruling, was accompanied by an affidavit that I had received the 25 cents. I had sworn I had paid myself. This has started an endless chain, which threatens to land me in an insane asylum." 1519 CURTIS STREET Ice Cream, Ices, Candies MUSIC VOCAL-PIANO-ORGAN (Voice - Song - Speech) Madam Seiler and Emil Behnke's Methods .

Turn Over a New Leaf By subscribing for THIS PAPER A and beautiful, are shaped like the head of a lance or pike—referring no doubt to the weapon that pierced the sides of the Savior—while they are marked beneath with round spots signifying the 30 pieces of silver for which Judas sold him." Today this wonderful blossom comparatively familiar and is known as the passion flower. Botanists call it Passiflora incarnata. While it peculiarities of structure are undeably interesting, there is nothing about it that to the same eye suggests the miraculous. Hely Ghost Orchid. The same observation does not apply, however to another plant, for more remarkable, which is even the present day so great a rarity that probably there are not a dozen species. S Take the crucifixion plant for example. It is a species of euphorbia and grows in a very curious way, with no leaves worth mentioning save at the ends of its branches. All the rest of it is mainly thorns. In fact, according to popular belief, it is the plant from which the crown of thorns was made, which the Savior wore. Specimens of it are not often seen. One comes across it once in a while in botanical gardens in this country, where, in accordance with an old-time custom, it is made to grow in such ingenious fashion as to take the form of a thorny crown fastened upon a cross. The effect thus artistically produced, taken together with the naturally weird aspect of the plant, is most bizarre and striking. But the oddest thing of all about the crucifixion plant, perhaps is that it bleeds. When cut with a knife, drops of a red juice resembling blood exude from it. No wonder, then, that in the old world, where religion and superstition so frequently merge, this strange vegetable should be regarded with awe. The ignorant peasants, indeed, are fully persuaded that the red juice is really blood, and to them it is an additional sign of the supernatural that the small pinkish flowers turn to a dark crimson as the season advances. Imagination wields a master brush and lays on the colors with a skill most deft for purposes of illusion. What a most wondrous flower it was that the Spanish priests first discovered in the primeval forests of South America, its lovely blooms hanging in rich festoons from the branches of the trees! No wonder that they called it the flower of the passion and saw in it a divinely exhibited token that all of the pagan Indians would be converted to Christianity. For did not the miraculous blossom contain within itself the whole of the sacred story of the Savior's sufferings? The Five Wounds. Another name they gave it was flower of the five wounds, and said (as one holy monk wrote in painstaking script) that it had "clearly been designed by the Creator that it might in due time assist in the conversion of the unfortunate heathen." In further explanation of which a distinguished commentator, one Jacomo Bosio, remarked in a valuable work on America published in the year 1610: "The filaments above resemble a blood-colored fringe, as though suggesting the scourge with which our blessed Lord was tormented. The column of the flagellation rises in the middle. The three nails are above it. The crown of thorns encircles the column and close in the center of the flower from which the column rises is a portion of a yellow color, in which are five spots or stains of the hue of blood, evidently setting forth the five wounds received by the Savior on the cross. The crown itself is surrounded by a kind of skein, of a violet color, the strands of which number 72, answering to the number of thorns with which, according to tradition, our Lord's crown was set. And the leaves of the plant, abundant and beautiful, are shaped like the head of a lance or pike—referring no doubt to the weapon that pierced the sides of the Savior—while they are marked beneath with round spots, signifying the 30 pieces of silver for which Judas sold him." Today this wonderful blossom is comparatively familiar and is known as the passion flower. Botanists call it Passiflora incarnata. While its peculiarities of structure are undeniably interesting, there is nothing about it that to the same eye suggests the miraculous. Holy Ghost Orchid. The same observation does not apply, however to another plant, far more remarkable, which is even at the present day so great a rarity that probably there are not a dozen specimens of it in all the United States. Two of these are in the president's greenhouse at Washington. It will not survive unless kept in an extremely hot atmosphere laden with moisture—a fact from which it may be correctly inferred that this interesting vegetable species is a native of the torrid zone. Indeed, it grows nowhere except close to the equator, in wet and marshy places not far from sea level, where the humid air oppresses the traveler like so much almost unbreathable steam. Such is the natural habitat of the Holy Ghost orchid, as the plant is called. It is a true orchid, and, like many others of its botanical kind, grows in earth. Its flowers are developed in little groups of two or three on a vigorous green stem, and in each of them, when it is fully open, appears, sitting within the calyx of the snowy blossom; a little dove with half-spread wings. So perfectly is it formed that even the fleshy excrecence at the top of the beak, characteristic of pigeons, is represented. It is, in fact, the most curious and wonderful of nature's imitations. "Lilies of the Field." It is wholly uncertain what flower Jesus had in mind when he spoke of the "illies of the field," which—though they toiled not, neither did they spin—were adorned more beautifully than Solomon in all his glory. Certainly he was not speaking of any blossoms of the type now represented by what is called the Easter lily, because no such lilies were known in the Palestine of his day, all of them being of exclusively eastern Asiatic origin. Of these lilies, there are many varieties, as everybody knows, the finest of them all, and the one generally grown at the present time in the greenhouses of this country, being a native of Japan—the Lilium Harrisii. A similar lily, though of a different variety, is the Lilium candidum, or Madonna lily, which is so called because it is the flower that is supposed to have been presented to the virgin by the angel of the annunciation. One finds it thus depicted in one of the most famous paintings of Murillo But, as above suggested, this lovely type of blossom was not known in Palestine 1900 years ago—a fact, however, which does by no means preclude the possibility that an angel might have obtained a bunch. Resurrection Plant. One of the most interesting of the vegetable species associated with Easter is the so-called resurrection plant, which is a kind of "tumble-weed," native to the region of the Dead sea. Some of its relatives, botanically speaking, are found in our own country and have similar habits. This tumble-weed during part of the year dries up and, detaching itself from the ground, assumes the form of a ball, seemingly dead—in which shape it rolls before the wind, scattering its seeds as it goes, to take root and grow into more tumble-weeds. Of all the many ingenious methods adopted by nature to accomplish the distribution of plants is more odd than this. But when the tumble-weed, apparently defunct, is put into water, lo! it begins to sprout, and presently is as much alive as ever. Whence the popular name bestowed upon it. Climbing-and Climbing By M. J. PHILLIPS (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) A group of young people was standing within the rolling surrounding the platform at the top of the town hall. Below, straggled the village, falling away in picturesque confusion from the hill on which the hall was situated. Off to the east, beneath the rays of a perfect moon, gleamed the radiant surface of Silver lake. "I am going to climb the flagstaff," said Calvin Brest. He was a drug clerk in the village, a wiry, dark young man, with the spirit of an adventurer, despite the humdrum occupation of surveying pills and powders. He felt moved to do something noteworthy tonight. Spring was stirring his riotous young blood and Jessie Dane was standing beside him. There was a chorus of half-frightened exclamations. The flagstaff sprang from the top of a low cupola just above their heads. It was a thick, crooked lance of timber thirty feet long, worn smooth by the beating of many storms. Brest did not wait for his wild resolve to cool. From the top of the ralling he leaned forward and drew himself up on the roof of the cupola. With a laugh he laid hands on the pole. Wrapping his legs about it he began to climb. It merely shivered a bit at first; but when he was a third of the distance to the top the pole swayed back and forth. If it snapped under his weight there was a sheer drop of nearly one hundred feet to the cobblestoned court below. But it did not snap. Brest reached the top without mishap, patted the gilt ball that crowned it and then with a whoop slid down the staff and alighted in their midst on the railed platform. He was given the reception of an admired, spoiled child. They praised and scolded him, but the scolding was the greatest praise. The pole had never been climbed but once before, and then in the daytime by a steepe-jack whose many precautions seemed foolish beside Brest's daring cleverness. Albert Whitcomb broke in on the congratulatory chorus. "I am going up, too." he said, and there was another sensation. Whitcomb was a young farmer whose land adjoined the town. He glanced at Jessie Dane as he smoke. The girl took a step forward and put out a hand as if to stop him; and then, realizing that any pleading might render her conspicuous, she turned away without a word. Whitcomb got to the roof and began to climb. He was heavier than Brest, and less skilled. Under his labored efforts the pole swayed and shivered. The smiles slipped from the faces of the watchers; their gay words of encouragement were stilled. They remembered that the staff was old; it had been years in place. At any moment Whitcomb might go down to his death. But good fortune waited on him, too. He placed his hand for a moment on the gilt ball, and slid back thankfully. He was not so popular as Brest and his safe return was greeted by less of a demonstration. A constraint fell over the group. The same thought was in every mind. The incident was not yet closed. For the youth who had been Jessie Dane's boyish adorer was there. Would he do as much as the others? Whitcomb voiced the question of all when he said with a sneer: "Well, Peter?" Peter Price, leaning indolently on the railing, drawled, "Well, Al?" "Are you a sport?" "Do you mean, am I going to climb that pole, too?" "That's what I mean." "Having been born with some sense," replied Peter, "I am not. Because you and Calvin made fools of yourselves is no reason I should." Whitcomb laughed bolsterously. "I always thought you lacked sand," he said. Later, Whitcomb and Calvin Brest walked home with Jessie. Peter Price did not seem to notice any change in attitude toward him. He attended the village merrymakings as usual and kept as near Jessie as possible, fetching and carrying for her and anticipating her wishes. As for Brest and Whitcomb, they enjoyed to the full the fame their exploit brought. They all attended the first picnic of the year on Snake Island, so called because of its peculiar shape and the fact that it terminated in a bluff two hundred feet high which looked like the uplifted head of a serpent. The island was in Silver lake, perhaps a mile from shore. The boat landing was on a narrow strip of beach beneath the head of the serpent. To get to the top of the bluff, it was necessary to walk for a thousand yards along the beach to a spot where the preciice began to subside and a path wound upward. The day was beautiful with all the warmth of summer. When the dozen young people reached the top they sat down on the new grass to rest after the climb, and to enjoy the sweep of sparkling water and wooded shore spread out before them. A sudden scream of fear cut through their light-hearted conversation and brought them to the edge of the bluff. Below on the beach was a "Are you a sport?" "That's what I mean." sight that for the moment struck them dumb with horror. Two of their party, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Pomeroy, had just landed and drawn their rowboat into the cluster of other small craft. Barely had they stepped ashore when the huge, black-bearded figure of a man darted from a clump of underbrush with club upraised. Mrs. Pomeroy had screamed at sight of him. The group above saw the next act in the tragedy. Pomeroy advanced bravely, but the club swept downward through the guard of his arms and struck him on the head. He dropped, and shriek on shriek burst from his wife. "That's the maniac who nearly killed his keeper at Fairview asylum yesterday and got away! They telephoned me his description," gasped Patterson, editor of the village paper. "Oh, what shall we do!" monned Jessie Dane. "See, he's going to grab Edna!" She turned to the white-faced young men. "Oh, run, run!" Peter Price slipped off his coat and shoes. "No time," he said swiftly. "She'd killed before we could get down the path. I'm going this way." He stepped down onto a ledge of rock on the perpendicular face of the cliff. Living foot had never pressed the face of Snake Island cliff before. It seemed a sheer drop of ten score feet from the grass roots to the sand. But there were ledges and shelves which furnished handgrips and footholds, however precarious. Price worked his way downward. He dared not look, for when he did his head swam dizzily. He groped with his feet, already stockingless, torn and bleeding from the. jagged rock, and found support somehow. Hand under hand he crawled over the flint as a fly crawls on the side of the house. He was careful—but not too careful. For too much care meant delay. And Edna Pomeroy's screams even now echoed pitifully as she struggled in the madman's clasp. Once he lost his hold and fell for a yard or more; fingers and toes, spread talonlike, rasped over the merciless rock. Peter Price reverted to type, went back ten thousand years in the flicker of an eyelash. Once again he was a man-monkey who had missed a waving branch in the highway of the trees. His fingers had eyes in them; his toes clutched with fierce suppleness. He found crevices no wider then the bridge of his nose, and clamped onto them. Slipped—caught; and clung again. The fall was stopped. He climbed, with no time to be thankful for his escape. The picknickers, straggling, sobbing and panting, reached the beach. They found Peter tying the subdued maniac with a painter from one of the boats; Dan Pomeroy was laving his throbbing head; his wife was crying a little, but quite calm—considering her experience—and wholly unharmed. Jessie Dane went straight to Peter and took both his scarred hands in her own. "Be careful Jessie; they're bleeding. You'll get all stained up." He tried to speak in his old, matter-of-fact way, but his voice trembled. "I don't care," she said, and her eyes shone with a light that dazzled. "I don't care. For you are safe, Peter—dear!" "China day" is an important occasion in a household. A wooden tub should be lined with a soft cloth, pearl ash dissolved in warm water, and the best antique cups and saucers, vases and plates washed carefully in it. A pastry brush always should be kept, with which to work out dust which has collected in the crevices of china figures, while, after draining the china on a wooden board, it is dried with a soft cloth and then polished with a silk handkerchief. Putty to clean antique glass and wet whiting for pewter are two other secrets of a successful cleaning day. For the insides of decanters and bottles nothing is better than to soap small pieces of blotting paper and fill the bottle with them, adding water to reach halfway up, and then shaking energetically until the contents froth. A Matter of Form. "I have come to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage," stammered the young man. "And what if I refuse?" asked her father. "That will make no difference. We shall get married just the same." Realizing that nowadays he was lucky even to be consulted in the matter, the father gave his consent and his blessing. His Reward. Motorist—Yes, it took me about six weeks' hard work to learn to drive my machine. Pedestrian—And what have you got for your pains? Motorist—Liniment.—Tilt-Bits. A Possible Solution. "I wonder what Bluebeard had in that secret room?" "Probably some haircloth furniture. We keep ours out of sight since mission styles came in." For China. His Reward.

A costume of mustard colored cloth, with lace jabot and silk rever with blurred pattern. Black satin sash edged with silk fringe, satin cuffs and high stand-up collar. At the neck the costume is finished with a cameo and NEW USE FOR THE OLD SHAWL Summer Wraps and Matinees Are Being Made From Delicate Finery Worn Long Ago. Any girl whose mother or grandmother has a silk shawl, no matter what the size, should endeavor to have it given to her. Just now the loveliest summer wraps and matinees are being made from them, and the fact that the delicate material need not be cut is apt to make the owner more willing to transfer it to the younger member of the family. As the shawl is large or small, it is manipulated pointed or square. The best effects will be gained in the latter, if the wrap is of the small variety. It is taken for granted that the shawls have fringed edges, but should this not be the case a silk fringe as wide as one can afford should be carefully sewed around. If it is impossible to match the color, white may be substituted, although a black fringe on a white shawl is especially effective. If the square is a small one the top is turned over wide enough to form a deep border, twelve inches at least. With this still back, the shawl is folded squarely in two, up and down. Then twenty inches from the middle the top border is tacked together. This may be done with a pin to try the best proportion. The wrap is then put on, the pin or tack coming at the middle of the back of the neck. It is then necessary to have another tack put at the bottom of the V formed at the back, and the wrap is complete. It requires no lining of course. Ribbons or a fancy clasp may be put on, to hold it together over the bust. Variety is given by making the tack a little to one side of the middle. The fastening then laps over in front when the wrap is worn. When the shawl is wide, it should be folded first three corners, regulation shawl fashion, except that the top is not turned over quite so far. Tacking is the same as with the other shape. Rompers. Just a few words in favor of rompers for the little girl's summer wardrobe. It is well to plan children's outfits with an eye to saving laundry bills. Rompers are easily made or cheaply purchased, afford wonderful protection during play hours. The little linen bloomers to match the dresses do away with the petticoats—another laundry saving. One mother who is considered a good manager announced that all "nighties" and pajamas in her family would be made this year of cotton crepe, so nurse can wash them out in a bowl. As they need no ironing, another item is knocked off the laundry bill. Little Taffeta Coats. About to the waist line. They have big revers and a frill. This is a small 4-inch ruffle at the bottom. An inch belt of braided silk or sou tach finishes the top of the frill. They are trimmed in heavy lace, big bullet buttons or velvet ribbon.

The handbag is now the inseparable companion of woman. A beauty is made of sealskin with a gold top, the owner's initials in gold adorning the side that is generally presented to the gaze of the public. Oxidized silver is sometimes seen, but gold is more favored. No longer is a handle of modest length allowed. Long cords of leather or silk are supplied, occasionally several are plaited together, and finished where they join the bag with tassels. The black suede and the velvet bag also have their devotees, while leather worked in the Venetian manner is much in evidence. In Paris, and on the continent generally, great liking is evidenced for the bag of fairly modest proportions with long cords that are slung across the shoulder—in the same way as one carries field glasses—perhaps because this method displays its beauty to the greatest advantage. Pseudo Silk Hose. The woman who loves silk stockings, but who cannot afford them, will find those of mercerized sea island cotton a very good substitute, as they have the look of the real silk. Their luster is excellent, their weave fine and even, and they, of course, wear out any number of silk stockings. They are made with all the latest improvements, ample sized tops and reinforced heels and toes. Not only black and white and tan are procurable in them, but a good range of colors as well. A. E.
