PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Race Should Form Arbitration Courts VOL. XX. Race Sho Form A tio Montgomery, Ala., April 28.—Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, and also secretary of the National Negro Business League, spoke before the Alabama State Negro Business League here last Thursday evening. He referred, among other things, to the fact that the Negro under the pressure of race prejudice and segregation is gaining in racial solidarity and race consciousness. He quoted a recent writer on sociology to the effect that this racial solidarity and race consciousness were likely to increase, as there was going up within the larger world of the white man a smaller world of the black man. "Each advance in the education and intelligence," he said, "puts the Negro in possession of the technique of communication and organization of the white man, and so contributes to the extension and consideration of the Negro world within the white." He said the Negro people are bound to work together and to protect themselves economically. "And then," he said, "we have simply got to encourage a spirit of race amity, of eternal peace, of racial good will; we have got to put down the costly and mean habit of so many of our people of going to the law to settle every petty dispute that arises among us. Every since I was a boy I have beheld the awful spectacle of grown men and women going into the courts to settle every petty dispute that arises between them, literally pouring into the courts a staggering sum total of money which might be kept in the race for its education, for its uplift. Monroe N. Work, editor of the Tuskegee Year Book, tells me that it is probable that over $1,000,000 is spent in Alabama each year in lawsuits against one another by our people; lawsuits of a nature that could be settled outside of the courts. It is likewise probably true, Mr. Work says, that in the whole South $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 is spent by our people in the same way. If this $1,000,000 spent by our people in Alabama alone were put into business it would suffice to finance many hundreds of business enterprise among our people in Alabama. "What are these petty disputes for which this tremendously large sum of money is spent? In the main, they include family disputes assault and battery, abusive lau- guage, lodge troubles, petty thievery and a host of other kinds of disputes too trivial to be carried into a court of justice. If we could prevent this sickening drain of money and the economic loss therefrom, our courts would be less congested, and I hazard the prediction that a new era of happiness among our people would ensue. "I wish to offer this suggestion: That local business league throughout Alabama and the South take leadership in proposing the organization of Arbitration Courts for the purpose of settling all differences between Negroes without involving the disputants in court trials. At Boston, at Baltimore and at Birmingham such courts have been organized among us. Such courts should have but two officers, a president and secretary, with not more than five judges, three of whom should be regular judges and two supernumerary judges to take the place of any one of the judges temporarily absent. The settlement of disputes should not be based on legal technicalities, but simply, solely and only upon merit and justice, without too strict a regard to legal interpretation. Criminal cases should not be handled, and both parties to a dispute should be in honor bound to abide by any decision that is made. "Here is a work," he said, "that our State league can undertake as a definite, constructive program. The results will more than justify the effort, and the saving economically to our race in Alabama will be splendidly worth while." Washington, D. C., April 29 — Congressman Madden of Chicago, has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives asking that $150,000 be added to the present sum appropriated by the State of Illinois for the holding of an exposition at Chicago in 1915, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions. Louisville, Ky., April 28.—A jury in Judge Gordon's court last week awarded Rose Fletcher, white $100 damages, alleging that Clars Johnson had called her a chicken theif. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Boosts State Houses ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO MAJOR CHAS. YOUNG CAPTURES BARTEE AFRICAN WARRIOR Buchanan, Grand Bass, Liberia, Apr. 25.—Major Charles Young, United States military instructor, is seeing considerable active service here. In the late afternoon on the 16th instant he arrived from Rivercess by the launch, having on board Bartee, the famous Kru warrior. Bartee has been notoriously famous for the past year or two as the leader of the wars against the government. It is understood that Bartee and another Kru warrior were induced by Major Young to give themselves up to Bassa and took them up to Monrovia as prisoners of war on the 17th. On arrival of Major Young it appears that he and his prisoners went on to the barracks and one Nunly, a Kru man who was assisting the government in this mission was behind the main party and for some reason was struck in the face by Willie Brown. When the matter was reported to Major Young he sent a cadet with ten armed soldiers to arrest Brown. While this company was passing along the street they were talking about what they would do to Brown when they caught him. N. B. Logan heard the conversation. He was not aware of Brown's misconduct, but it is alleged that he would do the same to them. Reports of the affair differ, but there was an argument and the cadet ordered the soldiers to take Legan. He ran to the Dutch piazza, followed by the soldiers. He had been in service that day as deputy marshal and carried a revolver. When brought to bay he drew it and attempted to discharge it, but it would not go off. In the scrimmage that followed Logan was wounded in the face and badly beaten. The soldier fired off his revolver and took him before Major Young, who had him locked up. Logan proved to be sergeant of militia No. 2, and later when Captain Weaver and other officers pleaded with the major he was released. That night Major Young reported Willie Brown's assault to the proper authorities and he will be dealt with accordingly for striking Nunly. HAMPTON'S ANNIVERSARY Hampton, Va. Hon. William H. Taft was elected president of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees to succeed the late Robert C. Ogden, who had served for many years the cause of education through Hampton. Mr. Taft, at the forty-sixth anniversary ex ercises of Hampton Institute, presented to the trustees the candidates for certificates and academic diplomas. He declared that the Negroes should use the economic freedom that they have and work along an honest, industrial line. Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, president of the Virginia Medical College in Richmond, delivered the "Robert C. Ogden Memorial Address." He paid a hearty tribute to the man who had an abiding faith in the common man, in the common school, and in public taxation as a means of improving economic and social conditions. ,Gifts to the nation," an evening pageant, showing in picture and song the contributions of the Indian and the Negro to American life; a demonstration of Hampton's practical training for farm life; an automobile tour among "the schools in the background;" a "pilgrimage" of Northern friends; Dr. Hollis B. Frissell's annual report as principal on Hampton's vital relation to the public; an address by Mr. Taft on "The Mexican Question"—these were some of the interesting incidents of Hampton's anniversary. JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL CONFIRMED Washington, D. C., April 30. Judge Robert H. Terrell has been confirmed. The outcome of the buttle that has been going on since January 18 is a decisive victory for fair play, for real Americanism and genuine ability, as against race prejudice, brass bourdonism and civic hypocrisy. The triumph is one in which every Negro in the country will share. It is one which furnishes every citizen of the United States a cause for rejoicing. Since last Friday, when the Senate in executive session, gave a substantial majority in favor of the confirmation of Judge Terrell, the beniciary of the President's recognition has been the recipient of telegrams, letters and messages of every description, warmly congratulating him upon his success and bespeaking for him a renewal of his splendid career upon the municipal bench. Enthusiastic commendation has likewise been showered upon President Wilson for his fine courage in renominating the Judge, and according to him the full measure of his worth, despite the vigorous protests of men who stood high in the councils of his party. The President is extolled because he placed character and competency beyond narrow confines of race and color, and made it plain that he was above the sorbid conception of official acceptability that make an accident of birth the standard of selection. Praise is also extended to Attorney General McReynolds, who did not mince his words in estimating the capacity of Judge RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Huntsville, Ala., April 29.—J. W. Petty, a well-known colored citizen, formerly a United States soldier, is planning the organization of a Negro company for service in Mexico in the event that volunteers are called for. Petty made a speech in courthouse square giving reasons why Afro-American citizens should volunteer for the inpendig war with Mexico. He said the Mexicans are nothing but half-breeds and Negroes, and Uncle Sam ought to let the Negroes of the United States do the fighting. Jackson, Tenn., April 27.—The Court of Civil Appeals held here Saturday that the Western Union Telegraph Company has the legal right to condemn easements on the right-of-way of the N. C. & St. L. Railway. The court also held that the will of the late Robert Church, a colored citizen of Memphis, in giving his large estate to his third wife and her children, was valid. Laura Napier, a child by his first wife by a slave marriage, sued for a share of the estate. This the court overruled and decreed she was not a legal heir. The tango is unknown in Liberia, according to Reed Paige Clark, who represents the United States Government as receiver of general customs at Monrovia, the capital of the little Black Republic. Mr. Clark is now on a six months' leave of absence. Mr. Clark says that ragtime and movies flourish in Liberia, but their is not an automobile in the whole of the Repuplic; in fact, there are no roads and no railroads. Life at Monrovia is villagelike in its simplicity, and the receiver of customs is delighted with the treatment he received during his two years' stay in that country. Mr. Clark says his British, French and German colleagues work harmoniously, although there is some fric-Terrell, saying that he was far and away the ablest of the five men who had constituted the municipal court of the District of Columbia. He recommended the reappointment of Judge Terrell on the sound basis of merit, and stood up straight in his position, unmoved by political consideration, personal bias or threats of a fight on the floor of the Senate. It was significant of the attorney-general's high sense of duty that the colored member of the bench was the only one of the retiring four judges deemed worthy of retention. NO 37 tion on political questions, but this is of no great importance. The port of Monrovia is showing a wonderful increase in shipping. More than four hundred steamers called there during the past year, with cargoes exceeding a million tons.—New York Age. Clovis, N. M., April 27.—The brother of the young colored girl who was lynched by a mob of white ruffians near Waguer, Okla, a few weeks ago, passed through this town on his way to Mexico. He gave a pathetic account of the lynching to colored citizens here. The young man's sister was but 17 years old and of respectable parents. Two half-drunken white men walked into their home during the absence of the mother and found the girl dressing locked themselves in her room and criminally assaulted her. Her screams for help were heard by her brother, who, kicking down the door, went to her rescue. In defending his sister one of the brutes was killed and the other escaped. Later in the evening the local authorities, failing to find the brother, arrested the sister, who was taken from jail by a mob at 4 o'clock in the morning and lynched. From his hiding place the brother, who is 21 years old, could hear his sister's cries for help, but he was powerless to aid her. The young man is anxious to learn the fate of his parents. Douglas, Ariz. April 27 — The Negro has already begun to distinguish himself in the conflict now taking place between the United States and Mexico. Earl St Clair, a member of the 9th Cavalry, is in line for a promotion for having prevented several Mexicans and white conspirators from stealing two machine guns on April 18, about 10:30 o'clock. St. Claire was a sentry on guard, and while at his post the culprits crossed the border and stole the machine guns. When St. Claire ordered them to give up the guns they showed fight but the colored cavalryman held them at bay with his six-shooter until help came. A number of the robbers escaped, but eight Mexicans and two white Americans were captured. The cavalrymen also took three automobiles from the desperadoes. St. Clair jumped into one of the automobiles and after a struggle captured one of the Mexicans who had succeeded in escaping with a machine gun during the melee. Earl St. Claire is 22 years old. The members of the 9th Cavalry are noted for their undaunted courage, and young St. Claire is no exception to the rule.

MUST RESTORE PEACE WHETHER THERE'S COMPROMISE OR ONE FACTION ADMITS DEFEAT DOES NOT CONCERN PRESIDENT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. DISARM ALL BUT TROOPS. Secretary of War Garison's Proclamation to Major Holbrook. Following is the proclamation calling for the disarming of all persons other than members of the military service in Colorado, which was sent to Major Holbrook at the day by Secretary of War Garison: "Whereas, Under existing circumstances, the possession of arms and ammunition by person not is the military service of the United States tends to provoke disorder and to incite domestic violence, and hinders the restoration of normal conditions of peace and good order. I do, by the United States, call upon and direct all persons not in the military service of the United States who possess or under their control to deliver them forthwith to the officer at the place herein designated, deceptively be issued to an arms and ammunition delivery above applies to individuals, firms, associations and corporations." Washington, May 6.—In providing for future governmen action in the Colorado labor situation, President Wilson has under advisement the problem of what to do as regards reopening the coal mines. His deliberations thus far include a plan of refusing the operators to resume work until there is industrial as well as civic peace. It can be asserted with a fair degree of precision that there will be no operation of the mines until they can be run without guns. Whether that means compromise somewhere along the lines of the present contending factions or whether one faction is to acknowledge itself defeated is a question with which the President is not concerned. He proposes that the government will aid neither unions nor operators, but will maintain peace. Whether this means closed coal mines all over the state developments will tell. It is reliably reported that Secretary Garrison has orders to keep the mines closed if they are to breed trouble. It is recalled that Roosevelt during the strike of 1904 threatened to put United States military forces to mining coal in Pennsylvania to supply people if the operators could not manage to peaceably mine sufficient for their needs. The disarming proclamation of the secretary of war, it was explained at the War Department, means exactly what it says, namely, that only military forces of the United States can carry or maintain guns. This, as a matter of course, would include the state militia were it not for the fact that the government has requested that body to be withdrawn as fast as the federals take the field. Secretary Garrison received voluminous telegraphic reports from cavalry commanders in various military districts in Colorado. The secretary reads these dispatches and gives return orders in person. There is no second in command. Congressman Keating spent some time with Secretary Garrison Saturday interpreting maps and giving him general information as to the geography and topography of the districts where trouble has occurred. Foster's Plan for Strike Settlement. Washington.—Here is Representative Foster's plan for the settlement of Colorado's mining troubles: "A conciliation board, where both sides will have equal representation, to decide all grievances that fail of individual or local adjustment." He would make this board a permanent institution. Foster says if the mine owners would meet the miners in a proper spirit this basis of agreement could be arrived at, as the men would waive recognition of the union. The mine owners, he says, refuse to agree to a conciliation board, because they insist it would be an indirect recognition of the union. Arms To Be Confiscated.

Major Boughton and Captains Danks and Van Cise, Comprising Military Committee, Make Investigation and Submit Report. Denver.—The court-martial of every officer and enlisted man of the state militia who participated in the burning of the coal strikers' tent colony at Ludlow in which two women and eleven children were killed, is recommended by Maj. Edward J. Boughton, judge-advocate; Capt. W. C. Danks and Capt. Philip S. Van Cise of the Colorado National Guard, comprising the military committee which conducted an investigation. In a report of its findings submitted Saturday night, the committee lays responsibility for the renewal of hostilities to the Greek strikers, of the colony, but finds that after the first tent caught fire that soldiers and mine guards deliberately spread the conflagration by pouring oil upon the flames and other tents, The report attributes the burning of the first tent to concentrated firing upon it. It recites that Major Hamrock, when hostilities commenced, trained a machine gun on the tent colony "to test his range" and fired a volley directly into it. The committee holds Lieut. E. K. Linderfelt largely responsible for the antagonism which led to the tent colony burning, through "wholly tactless treatment of mine guards and strikers." It found that Louis Tikas, leader of the colony, had sought to prevent a clash between the colonists and the militiamen; that Major Hamrock had brought reinforcements before the battle, and that the Greeks had precipitated the fight by firing first. Tikas, who later was taken prisoner after having joined the Greek fighting ranks in the battle, the committee found, had been struck so violently over the head by a rifle in the hands of Lieutenant Linderfelt that the stock of the weapon had been broken. The committee found that Tikas and two other prisoners were shot. The committee reports that what was designated as Troop "A" was recruited from mine guards, who "come and go with strikes," are ineligible to enlistment as national guardsmen and mine employes. The coal operators are blamed by the committee for a large part of the riotous and lawless acts in the strike zone to their employment of "ignorant, lawless and savage south European peasants," who "have no respect for law and to whom liberty means license." In conclusion, the committee recommends in addition to a general court-martial the establishment of a state constabulary and a further investigation by state and federal governments. Major Boughton, who wrote the report, also added a minority recommendation in which he urges against the re-establishment of the tent colony at Ludlow. Cardinal Urges Peace Prayers Baltimore, Md.—Cardinal Gibbons telegraphed Archbishop Mora y del Rio of Mexico suggesting that the people under their charge be urged to pray for a peaceful outcome of the crisis in the relations between the two countries. OLNEY HEADS BANK BOARD. Washington.—President Wilson has selected the five men, who, together with the secretary of the treasury, W. G. McAdoo, and the comptroller of the currency, John Skelton Williams, are to compose the federal reserve board. The five to whom the President has offered places are: Richard Olney of Boston, secretary of state under President Cleveland, to be governor of the board. Paul Moritz Warburg of New York, member of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company. Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago, vice president of Union Trust Company of Chicago. W. P. G. Harding of Birmingham, Ala., president of the First National Bank of Birmingham. Dr. Adolph Caspar Miller of San Francisco, assistant to Secretary Lane of the Interior Department, and Flood, professor of finance in the University of California. Strong-Arm Squad Gets $61,000.

SLATTERY IS SPEAKER ELECTED BY HOUSE AFTER BE ING SELECTED BY CAUCUS. Governor Ammons Addresses Members of Senate and House in Joint Session, Amplifying Matters Contained in His Call. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, May 6.—The Nineteenth General Assembly of Colorado met in special session at noon Monday to consider matters growing out of the strike, a proposed compulsory arbitration amendment to the state constitution, settlement of the state's indebedness for militia operations and other matters mentioned in the governor's call convening the special session. Representative J. H. Slattery of Silverton was chosen speaker of the House, following a caucus of forty Democratic members. Governor Ammons' message, delivered verbally to the joint session of the House and Senate, amplified matters contained in his call. He said: "Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Nineteenth General Assembly. "Ladies and Gentlemen: "You are called in extraordinary session in response to the demands of a critical situation in the life of our state. Heavy duties have prevented my writing a message, and I come here today simply to make a few suggestions and to appeal for co-operation in all that may appeal to you to be right. "When the strife in the coal fields became so great that the local authorities were unable to cope with it and no funds provided either to pay the troops or their expenses; I did not call M. Governor E. M. Ammons. out the militia until I had exhausted every means that had been suggested to bring about a settlement of the dispute or to assist in other ways the dispute could be resolved in the situation; when the local authorities failed there was but one way provided by law in which I could assist, and that was through the military arm of the government. "The troops were called into the field and took charge of the situation as best they could, with the number of men that could be secured. Opposed From Start "From the beginning there was opposition. In previous times like this, the state would issue certificates of indebtedness, but recently that had been changed, and but 4% could be paid. The financial condition of the country was not such as to make the raising of money easy. I was and ons that the credit of the state should not be issued to the small pay allowed 'o the militia should go to them, and not to scalpers, and not to punish them, and not to punish on a cash basis; and so communicated with the clearing house associations of this city, Colorado of the state, that if they would not carry the certificates notwithstanding the fact that money was scarce, that the rate of interest was higher, and that payment indefinite; the clearing house association, before it could finally consider the matter, was notified that the matter would not agree to pay these certificates. Conditions Called Serious. "There was other opposition; but in the meantime conditions had become so serious in the strike zone that there was almost a bloom of prisoners were surrounded and insisted life almost daily, and a great battle was imminent, with danger of tremendous loss of life to say nothing of property; and feeling that I had no other course or excuse, I sent the militia to the field. "When it came to the payment of the first certificates they were not issued by the Supreme Court and ask that body to order the auditing of the bills and the issuance of the certificates. Notwithstanding this was done from two sources, from one source or another, not always apparent, such an opposition to the payment of these bills that it has been exceedingly difficult to make purchases and to raise further money. "In fact, approximately not more than one-half of the indebtedness contracted is being carried by banks and those who agreed to carry it; the Mexican Bishop Crucified. San Francisco, Cal.—Among the tales of revolution atrocities told by the refugees from the west coast of Mexico who arrived on the steamer City of Sydney, is that of crucifixion of the Catholic bishop of Chalapa. According to the account a detachment of the rebel General Zapata's soldiers called on the bishop to surrender the funds of his church. He refused, whereupon the soldiers are said to have nailed him to an upright cross and left him to die a lingering death. banks of these three cities are carrying approximately $250,000; the railroad agrees to carry theirs until the time some patriotic citizens, and some, too, who could ill-afford it, have been carrying some of their bills until payment could be provided. **Third Appeal Necessary.** "When certain cases that demanded that troops should return to the field, it became imperative to appeal to the General Assembly for further assistance, because it could not be handled by the queen." "I sincerely hope and believe that the Legislature will take this matter of financing the troops when needed, and that it will be able to assist for it in such manner as shall seem to be wise and just to the Legislature." "It is not out of place to suggest to you that the President of the United States in his communication to me has asked that the General Assembly shall as soon as may be, so that the situation as soon as to be permanent the help that has been given us by the federal administration, but that we are expected to take care of the situation as quickly as it can be arranged." "It has developed during this troubled condition that our laws are highly inadequate to control industrial disasters, citizens must agree that if we are to leave the settlement of such disturbances to the strongest, regardless of what is right in the matter, that there can be no right to appeal to the people who are residents of this state that if disputes of any kind, no matter what they may be, are to depend on intimidation, on turbulence or destruction of property, we can never hope to grow and become the state that we have a right to expect to be. Having been led to believe that our law requires authority for legislation is needed, I have suggested in my call that you should submit to the people, to be determined by them at this coming election, that you should control such industrial disputes; and I hope that this suggestion will appeal to you as being proper and right, under the circumstances under which we are living during the past six months. Duties of State Guard. "The National Guard is not organized with machinery intended to make it a police force. It is composed in the police of young officers of young business men, or those who have had no experience as police officers, believe that, as experience has pointed out in other cases, that the cheapest, the best, the most effective way of controlling such situations as we have had, is the establishment of a trained police force under absolute civility and discipline. We need not wait until violence has become great before they are sent to the assistance of the local authorities in controlling the situation. The establishment of such a force, that not only much money would be saved, much life would be saved, much property saved, much property would be saved, experienced would never be created and, therefore, that any strained relations that might arise between contending parties would be in a much better condition, and I sincerely hope that, while our state treasury is not in good condition for further expense, that you shall pass some measure such as that you may have states that have state police forces such as I have mentioned." Violence in District. "During the present strike conditions there have been times when much turbulence was caused where disturbances of the saloons congregated by some of the saloons. "I have had appeals made to me from some of the districts, by some of the saloons, and to the governor of the saloons could not be closed, showing that even those men know and realize the great danger that there is a danger that the governor am confident that when these disturbances arise, where riots are imminent, where disturbances may lead to great disturbances, the governor only had the right to superseize those local authorities which sometimes will not act, and close up any of them, and would avoid many dangerous conditions. "The Constitution of the United States guarantees the right to bear arms, but the country has found that under many circumstances it is not strictly restricted; and, if it is constitutional for the state and the local authorities to regulate and provide against carrying concealed weapons, as a cooperative measure, it seems to me that the General Assembly can provide against the sale and use of arms and ammunition in times of great danger in order to protect the public and the reason is just as strong in the one instance as it is in the other. Calls Crisis Grave. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have not asked you to consider a multiplicity of subjects. I have called you together with a group of people to discuss crisis and an only suggesting those things which I think may aid us in taking care of this particular situation. I appeal to you not as partisans but as citizens of your state to look into this situation just as thoroughly as we do in our own country. I facts, all of them; know them accurately; and then act accordingly, and if you do that, and I have every confidence that you will express the hopes, even the greatest confidence that whatever the result may be it will be worked out by wisdom and good judgment and redound to the honor and care of the people. "I thank you for coming so promptly and responding in this serious situation so well, and I know that your patriotism that your judgment, as shown by your actions in the regular session, will work out for the very best interest of Colorado." Colorado Operators Wire Wilson Refusal to Meet Mine Workers' Officials. Denver, May 5.—Coal operators representing twenty of the larger companies in the state, exclusive of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, joined in a telegram to President Wilson refusing absolutely to meet representatives of the United Mine Workers of America to arbitrate the strike. The operators declare they are acting independently of John D. Rockefeller, and the censure that has been directed against him is unjust, as the state operators have taken their stand against the union officials without reference to the course followed by Rockefeller or officials of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. National Guard Nearly All Withdrawn Denver, May 5.—With the exception of twenty infantrymen under Captain Dorn in the Oak Creek field in Routt county, all of the state troops have been withdrawn from the strike zone. Colonel Verdeckberg and the troops stationed at Ludlow were sent to their homes and the troops in the northern field are also relieved from duty. Captain Dorn at Oak Creek is to be reinforced by twenty men from the Glenwood Springs company. Of the 600 guardsmen on duty last week, less than fifty now remain.

FEW GUESTS SEE CEREMONY Blue Room of White House Is the Scene—Beautiful Gifts Are Received—Bridal Gown and Other Costumes Described. Washington, May 8.—Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter of the president, became the wife of Secretary of the Treasury W. G. McAdoo, at six o'clock yesterday afternoon in the White House. The wedding procession proceeded from the main stairway into the corridor, through the north door of the blue room, to the platform erected in the south bay window of the room. Miss Sallie McAdoo led the procession, followed by Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson. Miss Nancy Lane directly preceded the bride, who was escorted by the president. The groom, with Dr. Cary Travers Grayson, met the wedding party at the altar. Mr. McAdoo wore evening clothes and Dr. Grayson wore his uniform. Rev. Sylvester W. Beach performed the ceremony. After the ceremony the wedding party proceeded to the red room, where they received congratulations and good wishes of the company. The Marine band furnished the music. Supper was served at small tables in the state dining room. The decorations of the blue room were lilies and ferns, and the decorations in the dining-room were pink and white roses. Handsome Wedding Presents. In spite of the small list of invited guests the wedding presents were numerous. Prominent among them were the beautiful silver tea service, given by the members of the house of representatives, a piece of jewelry from members of the senate, twelve silver plates and a platter from the cabinet members and their wives, and a handsome gift from the justices of the Supreme court. From the diplomatic corps, no member of which was invited, came flowers and good wishes. The bride's bouquet was of orange blossoms, white orchids and lilies of the valley. The flower girls carried white chip hats, hung by ribbons, filled with flowers. Miss Margaret Wilson's gown was of soft blue crape with panniers and waist of blue tulle. The neck was finished with a cream lace ruff and a flowered sash completed the costume. With this costume was worn a blue lace hat, trimmed with pink roses and touches of black. Mrs. Sayre's costume was exactly like Miss Wilson's except that the color was pink. The gowns of the little flower girls were white, with blue and pink ribbons. Beautiful Wedding Gown. Beautiful Wedding Gown. The wedding gown worn by Miss Wilson is made of ivory-white satin and trimmed with real old point lace. The bodice is softly draped with satin, which crosses in front and is brought to a point below the shoulders, front and back. The V-shaped neck is finished with folds of soft tulle. The long mousquetaire sleeves are made In the Heidelberg forest, besides nesting boxes, single shrubs or small groups of species similar to those at Darmstadt are planted in young plantations of forest trees and so pruned to form platforms for the nests of birds that nest naturally in shrubs and trees, after the method devised and practised with such wonderful success by Baron Hans Von Berlepsch on his estate at Seebach, Germany. Here, too, are about fifty feeding stations—American Forester. of tulle. The real old point lace is gracefully draped over the right shoulder to the left side of the waist and is fastened with a spray of orange blossoms; the lace then continues as a border to the long, transparent tunic of tulle, which graduates to the side of the skirt at the train. The sweeping train is three and a half yards in length. A cap effect bridal wreath, with orange blossoms and long draped veil was very effective. The old point lace used on the gown is a masterpiece and a work of art in lace making. It is a part of a world-famous collection. Her Going-Away Dress. The bride's going-away dress is a three-piece dress made of corbeau-blue garbardine. The coat is made of corbeau-blue charmeuse and garbardine. The front and upper part of back of coat is made of charmeuse. The back is gathered at collar. The three-quarter sleeve of garbardine is topped with the blue charmeuse, the edge of the sleeve being bound with a flat back silk braid. The soft girdle of garbardine ends in front with an oval charmeuse buckle. The bodice is dark blue chiffon over white. It has braided straps of garbardine over the shoulders, with 12 rows of braid over belt of blue garbardine.

Sketch of Mrs. McAdoo. Mrs. McAdoo is the only one of the three daughters of the president who has evidenced no inclination to pursue an accomplishment or perfect herself in any branch of study. Like her mother, she has talent as an artist in oils and has spent two seasons at the Acadamy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. She has a keen sense of humor, and is much of a diplomat. She is the only member of the White House family who has a nickname. She is called "Nell." In appearance, Mrs. McAdoo is tall, slender, with a girlish figure, and a light, swinging gait. She has a pleasant smile, fine teeth, a rather large mouth, blue eyes topped with dark brows and fringed with dark lashes, a fine clear white skin and quantities of soft, straight, dark hair. She rides, dances, swims and rows well and is quite a linguist. Her place in society as the wife of the secretary of the treasury will now be next to that of Mrs. Bryan. Career of the Groom. Mr. McAdoo was born in Georgia in 1863, of a family which had been wealthy, but had lost their all in the Civil war. At twenty-one young McAdoo was admitted to the bar and five years later he came to New York. There he formed a partnership with William McAdoo, who was no known relation. In 1886 Mr. McAdoo married Miss Sarah Fleming of Chattanooga, Tenn., who died four years ago. There are six children. Mr. McAdoo's principal residence is at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, not far from New York. A violent cyclone raged over the northeastern part of the island of Madagascar recently. Simultaneously a tidal wave swept over the whole northern coast. Serious damage was done at Tamatave, and many buildings and native huts were destroyed. Shipping suffered greatly, and several vessels sank, without, however, any loss of life. Sixteen natives were drowned in the floods. There were no casualties among the white population.

Shinn intimated that he would carry his case to the Supreme Court. AMMONS ASKS EXTRA $250,000 WILL PROVIDE FOR EXPENSE IF TROOPS ARE AGAIN SENT TO FIELD. NEW BILLS INTRODUCED MAJOR HOLBROOK TELLS TWO HUNDRED FOREIGNERS, ALL MUST GIVE UP ARMS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, May 7.—After a conference with Governor Ammons, the appropriations committee of the House of Representatives agreed to fix the amount of bonds for payment of militia expenses in the coal strike at $1,000,000, which is $250,000 more than the estimate of the expenses already entailed by the National Guard in coal strike duty. The additional $250,000 would provide for expenses of the militia if it should be ordered out, according to Governor Ammons. Representative Tait of Denver introduced in the House of Representatives a resolution instructing the State Land Commission to take immediate steps to terminate leases of state coal lands and to prepare for the state's operating its own coal mines, employing therein only citizens of the United States or those who have declared their intention to become citizens. The House adopted resolutions thanking Governor Ammons for demanding federal troops for strike duty and also thanking President Wilson for sending the soldiers. Ardourel introduced a bill providing that all expense of maintaining the National Guard on strike duty shall be paid from revenue derived from an income tax, the tax to range from 1 to 5 per cent on incomes above $5,000. It is estimated by Ardourel that, under his bill, the tax on the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. would be $100,000, and on the Victor-American and Rocky Mountain Fuel Companies, $50,000 each. The judiciary committee of the Senate voted to recommend indefinite postponement of the bill, drafted at the instance of Governor Ammons, for the creation of a state constabulary. The bill was so drastic that no member of the committee would agree to sponsor it. A less rigid bill on the same subject may be introduced, but legislative prophets predict it also will be killed. Washington, May 7—Colonel Lockett, commanding the federal troops at Trinidad, Colo., notified Secretary Garrison that he would post the call for the disarmament of citizens in the strike district Thursday. Disarmament Proclamation Means All Disarmament Proclamation Means All Trinidad.—Earnestly pleading with a heterogeneous group of nationalities only a small percentage of whom could understand his sharply spoken English words, Maj. W. Holbrook of the Fifth United States cavalry Wednesday urged 200 strikers in mass meeting at Camp San Rafael to deliver over their arms and ammunition to the United States authorities. And after he had done the group disintegrated and prepared to allotted portions of the camp where they heard interpreters repeat in some form the remarks of Major Holbrook. Major Holbrook informed the strikers that the proclamation for disarmament included everybody except those in actual service of the United States. He said even the sheriff and police of Trinidad would not be allowed to carry weapons of any sort. The matter of disarmament, it was announced by William Diamond, union leader, would not be put to a referendum vote of the miners, but would be left to the inclination of the individual strikers. Major Holbrook, speaking for Col. James Lockett, in command of the troops in this section of Colorado, promised the strikers that the mine guards would be disarmed first of all within the next two or three days and then the United States would call up on the strikers to give up their arms. Upon mention of disarmament of the mine guards the strikers, led by the English-speaking ones, applauded vigorously and gave close attention to the major. Oleo Manufacturer Fined $10,000.

Jelke, oleomargarine manufacturer, was fined $10,000 and sentenced to two years in jail for conspiracy to defraud the government of taxes on illicitly colored oleomargarine. Seven other defendants in the oleomargarine cases, most of them connected in various capacities with the John F. Jelke company, were fined $2,500 each by Judge Geiger in the United States District Court. SAVOY HOTEL OWNER SHOT. "Col." Bulger, Soldier of Fortune, Fatally Wounds L. F. Nicodemus.

LAWLESSNESS. If this disregard for Law and Order must prevail, then it is as clear as the noonday sun that the fair name of our city will be so besmeared that it will be almost like a hideous nightmare to mention it abroad, We can recall but three years ago at the Brown Palace, one of the lead- ing and aristocratic hotels in this city, a man shot a number of other men by his free use of a gun, resulting in the death of two and permanent injury of another, and on Wednesday last, to our utter astonishment, the proprietor of the Hotel Savoy was shot down in a cold-blooded manner by a “Colons’” Bulger—a man who took part in the Spanish-American War and the Mexican Reyolution. L. F. Nicodemus, the name of the proprietor, was attended by three of the best physicians and surgeons of Denver, but the bullets had pierced six holes in the larger and smaller intestines, which made no possible chance for recovery. It is high time that something be done by our Legislature to suppress the free usage of guns, as visitors will most likely entertain a feeling that will be ruinous to our intended upbuilding of our city. These actions by the so called higher-ups set an example for people who are less responsible, and if they are not dealt with to the fullest extent of the law, will establish a prece- dent that will not be easily effaced. > A REJOINER. “To speak his thoughts is every freeman’s right— In peace, in’ war, in council and in fight.” In our issue of April 25th we published an article, “AN APPEAL FOR UNITED EFFORTS,” in which we showed the lack of unity among our people and offered suggestions as a remedy that would be very advantageous to our cause, Information was received at our office that some heads of certain or- ganizations had taken umbrage and started to use their influence on their ass- sociates and followers to relinquish their subscriptions to our paper as a means of retaliation for what they called something offensive. While we adhere to the saying, “The truth spoken harshly makes no bet- terment,” yet, when it comes upon declaring the truth for the edification of the people and the setting up of standards worthy of emulation, we will do the same as fearlessly now as in the past! ‘This idea of covering up and suppressing our weaknesses has often mili- tated towards our progress, and the only wise and prudent way which is generally acceptable is to point out clearly our defects in various lines, and then offer suggestive ideas for reform and improvement. There are some minds that find much pleasure in leaving things to take care of themselves —but in an age progressive as this, we should not worship the old expression, “contentment with our lot,” but rouse ourselves from our dormant condition and lay bare facts about things which are always working to our detriment and not our betterment Such men and leaders who oppose our policy of “cease to do evil, learn to do well,’ delight in keeping a people in the channels of ignorance and retrogression, so that they may continue to succeed in their greed of gain as also their impressions of greatness which they put forth every effort to establish and maintain, But this can not, will not and must not continue, as younger minds are being developed, and with the march of intelligence and the progressiveness of the age their dominating influence will be shattered and dissolved as the mist before the rising sun, We intend ever to bring before the public such matters as are actually retarding our progress, and with their material assistance endeavor to ad- vise as to the best measures to be adopted for our permanent benefit and everlasting credit. Lenders of the class above-mentioned may try to harm us for uncovering the truth, but the story of “the stone that rebounded” is always being read, and demonstrated in our every day life, “Evil to him who evil thinks!” * Se ee ee ae eat a See ee te eee Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that’s the first kind of reading matter you want.

Hang up the hams a week or ten days, the longer the tenderer and better, if kept perfectly sweet. Mix for each good-sized ham one teacup of salt, one tablespoon of molasses, one ounce of saltpeter. Lay the hams in a clean, dry tub. Heat the mixture and rub well into the hams, especially around the bones and recesses. Repeat the process once or twice, or until all the mixture is used. Then let the hams lie two or three days, when they must be put for three weeks into brine strong enough to bear an egg; then soak eight hours in cold water. Hang up to dry in the kitchen for a week or more, then smoke from three to five days, being careful not to heat the hams. Corn cobs and apple tree wood are good to use in the smoking. The juices are better retained if the ham is smoked with the hock down. Tie up carefully in bags when the smoking is complete. CLEAN WITH POTATO PULP Nothing Will Do the Work Better or Quicker If the Material Is Properly Prepared. Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp in clear water, and pass the liquid through a coarse sieve into another vessel of water. Let the mixture stand until the fine white particles of the potato are precipitated, then pour the water off and preserve for use. This liquid will clean all sorts of silk, cotton or woolen goods without injuring them or spoiling the color. Two good-sized potatoes are sufficient for a pint of water. The article to be cleaned should be laid upon a linen cloth on a table, and, having provided a clean sponge, dip it into the potato water and apply it to the article to be cleaned until the dirt is entirely separated, then wash in clean water several times. The coarse pulp, which does not pass through the sieve, is of great use in cleaning wool draperies, carpets and other coarse goods. Don'ts for the Housewife Don't be optimistic regarding the butcher. Have a scales in your kitchen. Don't market by telephone unless you want seconds and left-overs. Don't forget there is much nutriment in cheap cuts of meat if properly cooked. Don't economize on cereals. They are the best and cheapest of foods. Don't buy fruits and vegetables out of season. Don't buy in large quantities if your home is small. Don't take ice in winter. Use a window box. Don't buy new novels. Don't use extra telephone messages. Visit personally. Don't jump on a car for every ten blocks. Walk! Don't get into debt. Charge accounts are vampires. Don't live beyond your income. Flavored Creams. To make these one cup of granulated sugar, one-quarter of a cup of water and six drops of essence, or twice as many of extract of any of the following flavors, peppermint, wintergreen, orange, rose, clove or cinnamon, are required. Cook the water and sugar till a little lifted on a fork or spoon spins a thread. Do not stir while cooking. Remove from the fire, add the peppermint or other essence or extract, and stir till the candy thickens and looks cloudy. Drop immediately from a teaspoon on to a greased paper or plate. If the candy becomes too hard to drop, warm by standing the saucepan over hot water for a moment. Fried Maryland Chicken Merely split a young chicken in halves, sprinkle over with flour and fry in deep, hot butter, allowing 20 minutes for each side, 40 minutes in all. Season well, turning chicken, and also pan frequently. Have it covered, for steam of the moist meat and butter aid in cooking it. When thoroughly done, lay on a hot platter and put as much flour into the gravy in pan as there is fat remaining, and let brown for an instant. Add nearly a cup of cold or warm water, gradually, and one heaping teaspoon of sugar and allow to boil, thus making a delicious brown gravy, thickened, and pour on chicken. Serve at once. Surprise Bananas. Peel some bananas and cut two inches in length. One end of each piece should be cut evenly enough so that it can be made to stand up on a platter. Boll some homemade apple jelly and drop in the bananas. When the jelly has cooled a little take out the pieces of banana, sprinkle them with dessicated cocoanut and place them on the dish on which they are to be served. When the remainder of the jelly is cold it should be placed in chunks around the bananas and a cold boiled custard poured over the top. Baked Salt Mackerel. Wash and soak mackerel over night. In the morning put into baking dish with a pint of milk, bake 20 minutes, remove fish to a platter, and to the milk add one tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of flour, one saltspoon of pepper. Pour this over the fish and serve with baked potatoes. For Rent—Furnished Rooms, modern, No. 2108 Arapahoe Street. Mrs. Lizzie Peopletoe Carter, Proprietor.

Phone Champa 752 AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Bettis academy at Trenton, S. C., has 500 students, who come from far and near. One-third of them walk, some come five miles, and returning to their homes every night, gladly making these trips in order to get an education. The balance of the students are fed and lodged on the premises, and all hands must work, for here education has no frills. Without going into details, it may be said that intelligent industry is the applied purpose of the school, and thrift and economy is the characteristic of everybody about the place, from Mr. Nicholson and his wife down to the smallest kindergartner, who is beginning the act of intellectually and morally rising. Much more interesting than the school itself is the land buying and development which has been going on for a quarter of a century under the leadership of Mr. Nicholson. It should be said at the beginning that the land purchases were, and still are, made largely on credit, in the case of each effort at expansion of ownership. Like all real credit in this case, it is based on confidence. Necessarily, this means confidence which responsible southern white men have in Mr. Nicholson, and the men who have become or wish to become land owners. Traveling from farm to farm we examined some of the results of this land experiment within a radius of ten miles of Bettis academy. In this section colored men own and operate about fourteen thousand acres of land. In the main, this land was bought in considerable tracts, often by Mr. Nicholson assuming the original responsibility. Then it was divided to suit the buying capacity of the colored people who now own it. Along a stretch of country ten miles in extent the farms, with only an occasional holding by white men, are owned by negroes. Half of the 1,000 acres is paid for, and by the practise of economy and industry that would be a credit to any race. The reputation of this colored community is of the best. No reputable white man has anything but the highest praise for Mr. Nicholson and his land experiment. Crime is practically unknown among the men and women on these farms. White men of character rather seek to buy farms on the border of this settlement. By so doing they insure themselves against the undesirable citizens of both races, not hard to find in South Carolina. The output of motor cars in the United States in 1912 is estimated at between two hundred and fifty thousand and two hundred and eighty-five thousand. "For several months," L. A. Halbert, in charge of the board of welfare at the hospital at Kansas City, said, "the Provident Hospital for Negroes has been conducted by responsible negroes and a little disappointment has been felt by them because their hospital was not included in the list of charities indorsed by the welfare board. This came about because the Provident Hospital for Negroes and the Phyllis Wheatley hospital have been combined, so as to have only one negro hospital in the city. The name of the new hospital has not been selected. The new project represents a desirable development for negroes and should have liberal support from all people interested in the welfare of the negroes." It's a good plan for a man to say nothing and saw wood, but, of course, it isn't a woman's place to saw wood. The colored academic teachers at the Calhoun institute in Alabama are graduates of college or normal school, and are accomplished in the latest methods of the foremost classrooms. Most of these instructors are in the primary grades, because they can best sympathize with the children's habits of thought and standards of life, in many instances brought from the cabin, and are most patient in correcting the imperfect language of such pupils and in using pure English comprehensible to them. Under Calhoun's conditions the colored force is not only efficient, but also indispensable. The nurses, graduates of high-grade Northern hospitals, perform services in the community which a white woman would indeed be willing to give, but which the negroes could not bring themselves to accept, save from one of their own race. So with the care of the persons and habits of the children of the school, and the sanitation, cleansing and other intimate directions given in the negro homes. The farm at Tuskgee contains 2,350 acres. There are more than a thousand domestic animals and hundreds of chickens. Last year Tuskgee raised 16,000 bushels of sweet potatoes and 10,000 bushels of oats. The other large crops are hay, corn, peanuts, peaches and garden truck. On the farm are 110 buildings, large and small, some of which are very beautiful. Nearly all of these buildings, grounds, equipment and live stock are worth almost one million four hundred thousand dollars, and there is an endowment of about two million dollars. The sixteen negro workers of Calhoun have proved themselves efficient and indispensable. Of the eight men employed sx are colored. These sx are in charge of the demonstration farm, the shops, buildings and repairs, and the life and work of the male pupils. There are five colored women teachers. There are two colored nurses for school and community. Three of the five directors of girls' industries are colored, as is the house mother. The list would be incomplete without the mention of the pastor of one of the best rural churches of the state, whose leading members are land owners, thanks to Calhoun. Though he is not in official relation with the school, his house is adjacent, he is often engaged for special service, and the religious part of the extension work is done with his help and counsel. The efficiency of these teachers and workers is attested by the reputation of the school, which so largely depends upon them, by the pure character and fine discipline of the student body, recruited mainly from the Black Belt, and whose organization for moral, religious and mental improvement is under this direction. A special indication of efficiency is the recent removal of any supervision over the colored directors of industries except the principal's general oversight, which encourages independence and initiative. At present the county superintendent of education, recognized as among the most progressive in the state, is introducing into the county schools, white and colored, the methods taught in the Calhoun shops. One of the fields of the demonstration farm has been pronounced the best in the state, and reports of government farm experts are full of approbations for results of special value to negro farmers to whom the school farm is the standard. The national convention of Congregational Workers Among Colored People was held at the Lincoln Memorial temple, Washington, with the co-operation of the People's and Plymouth churches. The opening session was held April 15. Rev. D. J. Flynn of Charlotte, N.C., conducted devotional services. Sessions were held three times each day during the convention, which closed Sunday night, April 19. The officer are: A. W. Lawless, Louisiana, president; H. H. Proctor, Georgia, vice-president; H. S.

In a class of 108 pupils in a Brooklyn public school, according to the Crisis, two colored girls, the only colored pupils in the class, took the only prizes offered, a bronze medal for proficiency in spelling and a silver medal for excellent work in German. There is nothing spectacular about Tuskegee. It endeavors to train its students so that they will go out and engage in some industrial pursuit. While the school has received a large share of the money gifts of our philanthropic millionaires, this money cannot be said to have been wasted or used extravagantly. The work of Tuskegee in training negro youths and in increasing their earning capacity has been of great value to the South in dollars and cents. The Tuskegee teachers are up-to-date in their work and methods, and are a well-dressed, intelligent looking body of men and women. W. M. Crawford, a railway conductor of Jackson, Ga., has a curiosity in a $30 bill, which was offered him for fare. The bill was issued November 2, 1776. A Kentucky humorist declares that for simplicity of living his people deserve the blue ribbon. Discussing the matter of breakfasts, he says: "The standard Kentucky breakfast has been from immemorial times fixed by Lexington. It is simple, manly, stimulating, and, above all, free from ostentation: Rise at 5:30 a. m; three cocktails; a chew of tobacco; coffee." In Germany the number of persons without religious profession has increased from 17,000 in 1907 to nearly two hundred and sx thousand. WIFE OF MINISTER FROM THE NETHERLANDS LONG BEHIND THE SCENES IN WORLD POLITICS LONG BEHIND THE SCENES IN WORLD POLITICS HIS CITY MANUFACTURED SPEECH DIDN'T FIT HIS CITY MANUFACTURED SPEECH DIDN'T FIT STUDIED GREEK BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON "What interests me especially about Americans," said Mme. van Rappard, wife of the new minister from the Netherlands, "is their wonderful activity. Such a vigorous nation I have never seen before! And with it all, the young women are as fresh and beautiful as flowers! C HARRIS & EWING "My daughter goes to dances and balls in the evening, comes home late and remains in bed until late the next day to get 'slept out,' as we say in Dutch. I go out shopping in the early morning and see the young American ladies who have been dancing the evening before equally as much as my daughter looking so wide awake and active that I marvel at them. Our women at home could never do this. They seem to require more rest than the Americans." "Perhaps," suggested Mile, Ernestine, the charming young daughter of the minister, who happened to be in the drawing room at the time her mother was speaking, "the difference is due to the climate. American air seems to be so much more stimulating than that of Europe. I myself have felt the difference." Both madame and her daughter are two of the most interesting acquisitions that diplomatic society in Washington could ever hope to meet. In the first place, they speak charming and fluent English, sprinkled here and there with a French bonmot. Secondly, they have had unlimited and enviable experiences which provide them with interesting, original For nearly thirty-two years Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice, British ambassador to the United States, has been behind the scenes in world politics. Few men have the knowledge he possesses of the unwritten history of the nations in this last third of a century. He has an intimate acquaintance with the individuals who have directed the course of events; often he has played a large, though silent, part in that directing. O. W. Bickle A quiet, modest figure of a man, charming of manner, approachable, frank, kindly, putting on no "side", having no use for the mask of mystery with which the higher diplomatists are presumed to cover their When Representative H. Sutherland of West Virginia was a lad of about fourteen he decided one spring to start out on a tramp like the boys in the Alger books. So with two friends he began a hike which comprised many weary miles and a good deal of beating his way on trains till he landed way up in the northwestern states. There he remained for the next six months, and came back home with $75 decided one spring to start out on a tramp like the boys in the Alger books. So with two friends he began a hike which comprised many weary miles and a good deal of beating his way on trains till he landed way up in the northwestern states. There he remained for the next six months, and came back home with $75 and a vast amount of experience. Sutherland worked in a government position in Washington for many years, then went out to cast his lot amid the wilds of West Virginia. He offered his services to the campaign managers, and they were accepted, but the managers took the precaution to send him out in the sparsely settled districts to "cut his teeth." Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio is regarded as a most serious statesman, but not an especially bashful one. In this respect he has bravely overcome a youthful falling which beset him at boarding school. A It seems he was at an academy where lamps were in use for the boys to study in their rooms at night. By accident young Pomerene broke the chimney to his. He was too timid to go to the matron and ask for another, so he adopted a plan by which nature could sup- topics for discussion. Lastly, they are intensely progressive. This quality is undeniably the link which will bind them closely to their American associates. After a stay in America of only three months, they were able to answer in no uncertain fashion almost every question put to them concerning their impressions of American habits and institutions with a promptitude that revealed keen, ready intelligence. "From what I have been able to judge," said madame, when asked to tell what she thought of us, "I am of the opinion that the American mind is especially inventive. You excel the world in wonderful invention. I think you are more capable along that line than in art. "Now, I do not say," cautioned madame, "that you are lacking in artistic perception. I am not qualified to speak of that, for I have not studied your art; in fact, I have not yet been able to visit any of your galleries. But it seems to me, with my limited opportunity for observation, that invention is the pre-eminent American accomplishment." The last post which M. van Rappard held before coming to the United States was situated at Morocco. Before the period of their residence in Morocco they lived at Brussels, Berlin, Paris and St. Petersburg. Madame is enthusiastic about all of these cities. She would return tomorrow with pleasure, she said, to any of them. Apropos of her gardening ability, madame was asked if she was an expert tulip grower, as are so many of the Dutch ladies. She replied that she knew how to take care of tulip bulbs as well as any of her countrywomen, but that she must admit they were not her favorite flowers. Roses and carnations are to her much more beautiful. operations, he sees nothing remarkable in what he has done or in his own personality. With genuine concern he expressed his regrets to an American interviewer recently that he was "so uninteresting a personality" and that he could furnish so little material for an article concerning the British ambassador. He didn't seem to realize that he has lived the things that romancers and playwrights have, by their art, made colorful and thrilling; that the melodramatist and the writer of tales of modern romance can find in his career a veritable mine of material. His vision of himself is that of an earnest servant of the empire, doing as well as he may each day's task in the world of diplomacy, inspired by an intense loyalty and the spirit of high service. He comes of a line that has so served. His progenitors for generations have figured large in the government of the empire. His house today has numerous representatives in the diplomatic and other services. Sutherland, in his room in the city, worked up a fine speech and memorized it perfectly. He would stay up at night for weeks declaiming to an imaginary audience. His first assignment proved to be Stubbsville, and he did not get there till late at night with this one speech. But promptly at eight he mounted the stage, drank the customary glass of water and started. The subject was the panic of 1893. Tearing up his hair and hammering the table till one leg broke, he poured out a torrent of Niagara-like eloquence. "Gentlemen and ladies," he shouted in winding up his mighty effort. "You all remember the time of terror that reigned then—how the engines in your factories were stilled, the wheels of your industries rusted and how along your broad streets swept the workless man, the empty dinner pail hanging on the languid arm of labor, as your hungry crowds surged down these handsome avenues." Just then he took a look at his audience—it consisted of seven men, a woman asleep with a baby in her arms, two dogs fighting in a corner, and the "broad avenue" was only a steep, muddy trail down the mountain-side! ply him with the needed illumination. It happened to be the time of the month when the moon was full and the air very clear, so the bashful boy sat out on the roof, adjoining his room, studying his Greek for several nights. At last some one of the faculty discovered the young Spartan and supplied the needed chimney. Demosthenes, speaking to the sea waves, was not in it with Pomerene studying Greek by the light of the moon! Justifiable. "Why did you beat this man so terribly?" said the judge, indicating the bebandaged figure of the plaintiff. "I asked him why a horse had run away, your honor," explained the prisoner, "and he told me that it was because the animal had lost his equineimity." "H'm," said the judge.

Spring in all AND GEN= Novelty for Spring Outdoor Wear SERGE with a wide wale or a heavy whipcord or any of the fancy corded weaves in fabrics used in making a gown like that shown here will develop a costume as chic as any the season has offered, although in a design so simple that it is distinguished. By comparison with the flounced or, more properly, tiered skirts, and the much fussed up but pretty jackets which the present mode parades in endless variety, this dress is uncompromisingly simple. Yet it follows the mode and will be singled out as one of the most attractive exponents of it. The same style is pretty in taffetta silk, in satin and in plain cloths. But the last do not prove so easy to hang In the lines pictured in this illustration. There must be a certain degree of stiffness in the weave for the best results. This gown, like all the other successful ones, hangs upon the figure in the easiest manner. The skirt is narrowed at the bottom by gathering the body into a wide band at the lower edge. The band, in this case, is of the same material as the rest of the skirt. The Coiffure and the Hat 1 1 EARLY in the season's career of style changing, there came an edict from Paris to the effect that "three quarters of the hair to show" should govern the shaping and posing of hats. Although we have developed much independence of Parisian edicts, this particular one has been favorably considered. The "three-quarters of the hair to show" means that one side of the face and hair is to be silhouetted against the hat brim, or at least to be uncovered by the shape of the hat. With this in mind the coifure has risen to the occasion and is considered with reference to the hat. The hair is waved and, since something of the front and back and much of the side must be in evidence, its arrangement across the forehead, at the nape of the neck and at the sides, are all to be considered in adopting a style with reference to its fitness for the hat. It must fit the face of the wearer, too, and the effort to meet all these requirements has resulted in a variety of new coifures, mostly high, all waved and, as 2 rule, attractive. Women when length of neck warrant it may wear the hair in a coil at the back, more or less low. The lines of the hair have to be adapted to the face and their direction controlled for it. In the coiffure pictured here with a hat the face will bear the long sloping line of the waved hair from the top of the head although with a sparing use of the striped trimming elsewhere it might be made of the stripe, with fine effect. The plain blouse, open at the front, has a fairly long skirt of the fabric of the gown. It terminates in a wide border of Roman striped ribbon with a panel let in at the front which extends up on the bodice to the bust line. There is a vest of white net and flaring collar which turns back from the neck all around. It is supported with fine wires that hold it in shape, and finished with a narrow blinding of ribbon. The overskirt is shaped to lengthen at the sides and back and is turned up across the back, showing the reverse side of the striped border across half its width. The sleeves are long with the upper part wide at the arm's eye and gradually narrowing to the elbow. Below this they are narrowed to the arm with no room to spare. Altogether this gown and hat may be classed among those that possess distinction. Black colonial pumps and black silk hose clothe the feet. 1 to the low coil. In the coifure without a hat the hair is drawn back from the face in lines that lift instead of falling, and the hair pinned in above the coil. In this coifure, too, the coil is higher. This latter arrangement of the front hair, loosely waved about the face and drawn back, is used with a French twist at the back of the head terminating in a coil and puffs at the top. But the hair is very loosely drawn up at the back, with fullness enough to fill in between the hat brim and the head. Bandeau trimmings and underbrim bows are cleverly arranged to help out in this matter of filling in. Another noteworthy feature of the adaptation of hat to hair is evidenced in the use of malines matching the hair in color. Facings of shirred maline on the underbrims of hats, if made in the color of the hair, are wonderfully effective. In all the new collures the hair is waved and the ears are almost entirely covered. And the hair is brought forward on the cheek when the collure is designed for youthful wearers. Sometimes a wave is combed forward and adjusted by means of invisible pins. Sometimes a lock is curled into a wiry ringlet and plastered down with bandoline, as in the colfure shown here, and rarely a cluster of short ringlets is flattened and fastened down with invisible pins which hold them in place. --- JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
