THE OPPROBE THE JIM CRY The General Effect the Negro Hanging over the negroes heads in the state of Missouri is a "Jim Crow" bill which was introduced by certain legislators for the purpose of pushing the negro to the wall and making him crime before the onslaughter of the white man's prejudice. This bill would be depressive from many standpoints, as it would have a tendency to curb his joyful spirit and stem his ambition. If the bill would pass it would make the negro in Missouri forver Republican. If it does not pass it will cause some Negroes to be independent voters. Any state that would pass a Jim Crow measure only retards the progress of The state. The Negro is an integral Has the Republican County Ke The white leaders of the Republican party believe they can forever ignore Negro voters with impunity. It has been a very long time since the negro has had representation in the county. Every race but the negro has a representative in all the offices. At the outset the negro was promised one or two positions. Frank Ross, Samuel Boyer and Oscar Hochland promised negroes positions. In 1902 the negroes organized and fought the county ticket and defeated it. In 1904 the county ticker was elected and they gave the Negroes promises what would be done. The chairman of the county ticket at that time could not carry out his promises because the candidates elected to office refused to stand by their pledges. At that time the Hon. P. S. Brown pacified a few of the Negro leaders by giving them city positions. The Negro voters notwithstanding they were angry when the ticket came up for a renewal of confidence. These weak Negro leaders with a couple of two-cent jobs in the city laid down their arms and refused to fight. But this condition has changed for the great multitude of 5,500 Negro voters is demanding a change. These petty leaders among the Negroes working in the City Hall dare not raise their voices and tell the Negroes to come on. If they do, they will be drowned like Pharoh in the Red Sea. Johnny—M-my new s-shoes hurt my feet. Mamma—No wonder, dear; you have them on the wrong feet. Johnny—W-well, I e-can't help it. I ain't got no other f-foot. Boo-hoo boo. —Chicago News.

Machinery moves in harmony and if the smallest wheel is broken or bent it has a general effect throughout the entire machinery. All states where Jim Crowism prevails is necessarily set back for an indefinite period. These laws are laws for the universe. No living man can fix the status of the sun or curtail its orbs. No man can prevent the lashing of the waves or stop a hurricane in its flight. This is the Will of God. No living man can stop progress of humanity or the tread of civilization. These are laws which God the Father has decreed us. The Republicans in the county who were elected believe that they are forever sheltered behind a four year term of office. Rome in all her splendor, sunk beneath the setting sun. Empires which have endured for centuries have faded away. The flowers of Athen's beautiful temples have perished. Father of time the reaper of death falls alike on black and white, good and bad, rich and poor. Don't think you are completely shield. The Negroes are determined to take out their revenge on the first Republicans that stick their heads up for office. A year from now comes another election. Thank God the Negro has time to organize to fight the aims of the greedy politicians. We have one thing in common now. A great black wave of prejudice scorn and indignation is sweeping the country to engulf the race. At last you have forced us together. The Negro traitors shall be read out of the race, and purged for their unfaithfulness. The good Negroes shall receive their reward. Remember humble and faithful Negroes just one short year and the howling hounds of war shall be set against the white men who would retard our progress. Organize Negroes of my race for they will need you and need you bad. With the balance of power given unto us, let us rise up and assert ourselves. Senator Hanna says organization is power, O! Temporal! O! Mores. Fortuna aves audacia. All Negroes who don't desire this paper please notify this office 780 M and 780 G. Don't wait until our collector comes around. This paper is going to the front by the good loyal Negroes who want an enterprising Negro Journal. This paper cannot exist on air and news. We must have the money. Please take notice. A GREAT FRIEND OF THE NEGRO HAS PASSED AWAY. HAS PASSED AWAY. Judge John Wofford has ceased to be. They are passing, yes they are passing one by one. As the Negro gazes into the distant future he catches the gleam of the beacon lights going out one by one. These lights are the friends of the Negro passing away. Judge John Wofford in all the history of his career on the criminal bench he has dealt out leniency justice to the Negro. Recognizing as he did the hard decisions given out by jurors he would cut them down is their sentence and make it very easy on the poor down trodden Negro. Let us hope that his departing shall be remembered by the colored people who have a regard for good citizens. CAPT. WEBER EXONERATED. Capt. Weber at No. 1 Police Station who was up before the Board on the charge of Allowing Gambling to be conducted in building of which he is owner was completely ex-emissioners to the general satisfaction of the entire community. The Negro s were especially pleased to have such a man retained on the force. Besides his long years of successful service. He has been a good friend of the Negroes. He has helped the good Negro citizen to get rid of the bad Negro. In his dealings with the Negroes at the Station he has been entirely fair to the black man. He has always gives the erring Negro a chance. The entire Negro race is glad that he has been retained. PROGRESS THE WATCHWORD OF TIME. PROGRESS THE WATCHWORD OF TIME. A. B. A. T. MOORE. The A. T. Moore Undertaking Co., at 1820 E. 18th St., will have one of the finest and most up-to-date establishment of its kind this side of the Mississippi river, when they complete the beautiful new four room brick addition which is now being constructed, and make all the repairs in the adjacent building which have been contemplated. Mr. Moore who is at the head of that firm, is an energetic, and thrifty business man. He came to the city a few years ago, since which time he has demonstrated to the world his ability as an embalmer and a funeral director. The Son highly complements Mr. Moore's strong race pride; he declares and insists that the race should stand by the Negro business enterprises and patronize them. The beauty of this is that he is putting into practice what he is preaching. All the men now at work in the construction of the new building; such as stone masons, brick layers, carpenters and etc., are Negroes. The new additions will cost over $1,000,00, and will be of great credit to the race and community. The unique arrangement of the departments, the plans, and etc., are the ideas of Mr. Moore. The following brief description will give a general idea of the place: There is private office and reception room with lady attendant, the chaple in which will be the special fancy glass show cases built from the flour to the ceiling. The state room is next in rotation, then comes the morgue. To the east of these two room will be the triming room, workshop and storage room. To the west will be a long hall leading from the chaple to back end of the building, the state room, morgue and the chapel each will have double entrance; one from the hall and one from room to room. The race should feel very proud to know that the establishment will afford just as good accommodations as can be given by any regardless of color. An article in the National Mirror saying, "Countie Bros. have purchased The Rising Son, and that they got it from reliable source. I start out by saying that it is absolute falsehood, and there could have been no reliable source save myself, Mr Wm T. Washington the owner of The Rising Son rents a portion of our building. He also pays his rent. I have had the highest respect for the gentlemen of the National Mirror, but I say that they have greatly deceived me by publishing this article without ascertaining the truth. Not only do I use this manner of denial, but I called Mr. Bailey up asking him to repute the statement. If Mr. Bailey or Harris is jealous of Mr. Washington I wished they would not use my name in order to get back at him. Hoping the approval of the public. Sincerely to the public, C. H.

The more you try to please some people the greater will be your failure. There is usually but one end to a woman's line of talk—and that is the beginning. The supply of adjectives in the English language is found insufficient for the girl to properly describe her hirst beau. Many a man growls a good deal about having to support a wife who works eighteen hours a day trying to help support him. GOD WILL BLESS THE CHEER- GIVER.

The work of the spring term in Lincoln Institute begins Marca 4th and many teachers who have employed in schools that close the latter part of February or the first of March, will enter the Institute and complete the work of this term, which with the summer school work will be of great assistance to the one pursuing the course, both in educational advantage and in securing in increased salary for the ensuing year. All parties who desire to teach will do well to avail themselves of these opportunities; and also should register the name and post office address with President Allen, as he has many applications for teachers stenographers, etc., good paying positions, both within and without the state of Missouri. Miles Lata Parks, class of 13, successful teacher in the Fort Scott schools recently sent us some very creditable work executed by pupils under her training in the second and third grades. Scarcely a day passes but that one hears directly, or indirectly from some graduate who is making good in his or her chosen line of work. The hope of the race is in its young people hence these reports are very encouraging to all concerned. Parents Faculty and students, deeply mourn the loss of Orlando Rutledge, class of '07. Appropriate resections were drawn up by the Senior class of which the young man was a faithful, studious and obedient member. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Grand Master, C. G. Williams was among the representative guests of the week. Profe sor Will ams expressed himself as very much pleased with the excellent condition in which he found the Institution. A very pleasing and instructive feature of life at Lincoln Institute is the after dinner talk, or better conversation of President Allen and the students during which current topics as brought forth in daily papers, standard magazines and high class books, are discussed and commented upon. Longfellow Day was thus appropriately observed; and many were the excellent lessons impressed by President Allen upon the young people assembled. Holmes, Lowell, Tennyson and Emerson have followed in the order mentioned, and have furnished a veritable, "Feast of season and flow of the soul," long to be remembered by all present. The Great Uncompiled Lexicon. Johnson was compiling the first list of words with meanings. "But," we inquired, "why don't you get up a dictionary of the things people didn't mean?"

Many Little Things That Will Afford a Welcome Change in the Noon-day Repast of the Small Girl and Boy. SANDWICHES. — Chop very fine some cooked ham or cold corn beef or tongue with a little fat. Mix one teaspoonful of dry mustard and one salt-spoonful of salt with cold water to a paste; add a tablespoonful of creamed butter. Spread thin slices of bread with the mustard and butter paste; then spread with the ham, tongue or corned beef. APPLE SANDWICHES — After peeling the apples, allowing one for a sandwich, chop them up fine with a little celery, one stalk to an apple, mixed in. Beat into the yolk of an egg a little mustard, oil and vinegar, making a paste thinner than mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix with the chopped apple and celery. Spread between two layers of thin buttered bread. Pear sandwiches may also be made in the same way. FIG AND NUT SANDWICHES — After coring the dried figs, chop into fine bits with any kind of available nuts. Add enough cream to form into a paste. These sandwiches cannot be kept from one day to another. EGG SANDWICHES—After hard-boiling several eggs, separate the yolks from white and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour on enough olive oil to form a paste. Spread onto thinly cut and buttered slices of bread. Take half the whites and a few pickles. Chop into fine bits and sprinkle on top the egg paste. Then lay on another slice of bread. WATERCRESS SANDWICHES — Chop into fine bits any sort of available meat, ham preferred. Let the watercress be fresh and crisp. Pull the leaves from the stems and cover with a French dressing. First spread the chopped meat on the bread and then lay on the watercress, which should be allowed to drain in a plate for a few minutes before being spread. An orange sliced through the middle and sprinkled with powdered sugar, then laid between slices of bread, makes a delicious and refreshing sandwich. BAKED BEAN SANDWICHES—When the baked beans are perfectly cold make a tart dressing of oil and vinegar, slightly dampen the beans and spread between slices of buttered bread. FISH SALAD SANDWICH—The cold fish should be dressed exactly as the beans, with a little French dressing. CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH—This is very easy to fix, it being necessary merely to spread the cheese onto the bread. In regard to bread, it is better to use alternately white and brown bread. Nothing adds more to a meal than a pretty or unusual way of serving the ever useful potato. A plain potato salad (which is always much better in texture and flavor when the potatoes are baked instead of boiled) seems far more elaborate when served in the potato shells, and these are really pretty when properly prepared. For any sort of stuffing, the potatoes should be of uniform size, and large rather than small, since the larger ones are easier to handle; the novice had best practice on a few first until the fingers become deft in handling, for the first few are apt to be spoiled in removing the interior or in refilling the shells. Banana Compote. Make a syrup of four tablespoonfuls of water and four tablespoonfuls of sugar; add the rind of one-half lemon, two cloves, one inch of stick cinnamon; cook ten minutes; then drop into the syrup six bananas cut into fourths. It is best to cook just enough pieces of banana at a time to cover the bottom of the sauce pan. When the fruit becomes transparent and soft, take it up carefully, put into a pretty dish and pour over the syrup. Cool and serve with whipped cream slightly sweetened and flavored with lemon. PRINCESS ROBERT DE BROGLIE A Boston—Titled persons are not aarity on the stage these days of the ascendency of money power, but something of a sensation has been caused in London and in several of the larger cities of the United States by the appearance of a prince of illustrious lineage with his wife in vaudeville. They are the Prince and Princess Robert de Brogle, the husband being the cousin of the sixth Duke of Brogle, head of one of the most distinguished families in France, and the princess having been Miss Estelle Alexander, daughter of a wealthy New Mexican planter and divorced wife of a millionaire merchant of German extraction, Sidney V. Velt by name. Family quarrels and the triumph of their attachment make a romantic story of the lives of the young couple. The continent has princes and nobles in such profusion, many of them bogus, that continental titles have lost much of their significance to Englishmen and Americans, but Prince Robert de Broglie is the younger son of a really historic French family. Among the old ducal houses of France, the name of De Broglie possesses a special interest to Americans, for one of its most distinguished members, Prince Victor de Broglie, served through the war of independence in this country as one of the principal leutenants of General the Maquis de Lafayette. Of Illustricus Ancestry This prince was afterward guillotined by Robespierre in 1794, but his son married a daughter of the celebrated Mme. de Staal, and it is their great great grandson who is now 7 wielding the baton in conducting the orchestras for his wife's songs in their vaudeville entertainments. Other batons than that of a leader of an orchestra have been wielded by Prince Robert's ancestors, for a De Broglie was a marshal of France under the Grand Monaque and another under Louis XVI. Another Duke de Broglie was the philosopher and academician who, as head of the cabinet of Louis Philippe, was riding by his sovereign when Fleschi opened fire on them with his infernal machine. This was the De Broglie who married the daughter of Mme. de Stael, and his son was chief of MacMahon's cabinet and grandfather of Prince Robert. Led by Woman's Beauty How comes it that a scone of this august family of dukes and marshals and statesmen earns his living conducting an orchestra in a music hall while his American princess performs behind the footlights? The cause was Miss Estelle Alexander, now the Princess Robert de Broglie, a famous beauty. An old Chinese proverb says: "Trouble does not come from heaven, but is brought about by some woman." A beautiful American girl, the daughter of Lyman Alexander, an American landowner, who hold large tracts in southern California, Miss Estelle Alexander was the wife of a merchant and importer, of Prussian antecedents, named Velt, when she met the Prince Robert de Broglie in Paris in 1904. That meeting was in the studio of an artist in Paris, and the prince's mother and sister were present at the meeting. She was young and possessed of an encumbrance in the shape of an unsympathetic husband; the prince was youthful, ardent, a great admirer of beautiful women. Day after day the prince's valet carried flowers and notes from his master to Mrs. Velt. She knew him then only as M. de Broglie. She left her husband's house in Paris finally. That made Herr Velt's divorce a very simple matter, an easily achieved formality. And it was from that moment that the couple's troubles began. Disinherited by Father Prince Amedee de Broglie, the father of the youthful Robert, was a stern parent, with all the inherited prejudices of his class. As almost Roman power over the affairs of his children is given a father by the French laws, the elder prince's objections counted for much more than would have been the case had he been an American. In defiance of his expressed command, the couple were married in Milan. The parent immediately took action in the French courts to have the marriage annulled on the ground that it had been con- 1 tracted without the consent of the parents. This action failed of its purpose, Prince Robert - having meanwhile traveled with his wife to America and having been married again according to American law by a justice of the peace in Chicago. He had the marriage notice sent to the French consul there and received acknowledgment of its record, in order to comply with the French law as to civil registration of marriages. However, one recourse yet remained to the indignant Prince Amedee. He could cut off the son's allowance and disinherit him. This he at once proceeded to do. Although New York society had opened its arms to the two brothers of Prince Robert on the occasion of their visit to America, when the same people found the youthful couple in dollarless despair their reception was of a different sort. A prince whose seat consists of a bed-sitting room on the top floor of a cheap lodging house does not get the treatment of a prince who comes surrounded with the glamor of the appurtenances of his rank. So it came about that Prince Robert found New York capitalists cold to the propositions he unfolded concerning his inventions of a freight-carrying automobile with a vapor motor. Reduced to Penury. Things went from bad to worse with the Prince and Princess Robert de Broglie. Meaner and yet meaner lodgings they secured, until finally they were living penniless, in a garret, with their baby daughter, the Princess Jessemonde. It was then that an entertaining theatrical manager discovered them and made an offer to star the princess in vaudeville, with her husband conducting the orchestra as a sort of side-show attraction. Immediately the press took up their cause and painted the sufferings endured by the romantic pair for their love's sake. A thousand newspapers carried the story of their misfortunes to millions of American homes. Headlines made celebrities of this couple, and the evil day of poverty and of pinching had passed for Prince and Princess Robert de Broglie. Prepared by the newspapers for their appearance, the public extended a kindly welcome to the pair in vaudeville, and even staid, cold-hearted London has since opened its pursurseings to see them perform. It is said that the prince is a capable conductor of the orchestra and that the princess is a singer of no mean ability, possessed of a voice which would gain her recognition even without her romantic story and marriage to a prince to support it. Divorce Runs in Family. The princess had early experience of the operations of the divorce courts, for her mother was separated and divorced from her father, the planter, and married Edward Clay, a stepson of Senator Jones, as her second husband. And it is by no means the prince's first venture on the sea of matrimony. About five years ago he fell desperately in love with the former wife of Count Fleury, daughter of Baron Deslandes, who, after her divorce from her husband, son of the famous ambassador to St. Petersburg, shone as the leader of a famous coerter of wits and fashionables gathered nightly in her Paris salon. She then assumed her mother's name, that of the Baroness Deslandes. She was 30 years old and he was 21, but that did not prevent a blind attachment. In spite of the strenuous opposition of his powerful family, Prince Robert married her clandestinely in London. Immediately the Prince Ameedee started action to annul the marriage, claiming that there was virtually no marriage, since it was without the consent of the parents, without publication, and had not been entered upon the French civil registers. He won his case, and the marriage was declared invalid. For quite two years Prince Robert was inconsolable; and then he met the beautiful Miss Alexander in Paris, and all was sunshine again for him. Prince an American Citizen. Owing to the difficulties with his family, the prince was driven in November of last year to renounce his allegiance to the republic of France and to take out citizenship papers in the United States. The estate of the De Broglies, which surrounds the famous Chateau de Chaumont, is considered one of the most magnificent in France. His father, Prince Amedee, married a daughter of the sugar king, Henry Say, whose immense fortune was subsequently lost through wild and fraudulent speculation. The princess is an accomplished, as well as an exceptionally beautiful woman. During her education in Europe, she studied with Capouil of the Paris opera and with Fugere of the Opera Comique. In describing her own appearance recently, the Princess Robert de Broglie gave the following details: "Tall and slender; five feet ten; magnificent figure; wonderful long hair of dark, redfish-chestnut color, falling to knees; eyes of midnight darkness, changing to emerald hues and shades of deep seagreen, and at times are of a rich, dark brown; mouth and nose Grecian, and lips full and red." Yawning Benencial Systematic yawning seems to have proven highly successful in Austria as a method of vocal and health culture. Dr. Naegli advises deep yawning, with arms outstretched, thus insuring complete change of air in the lungs, and at each treatment he has his patients make six to eight yawns, each being followed by swallowing. He regards the exercise with deep breathing, as the best means of strengthening the respiratory organs and muscles, while it gives astonishing relief in catarrh of the throat. For singers a like practice causes the tonsils and uvula to retract and harden, and the clear passage gives the voice greater volume and improved quality. His Living Alarm Clock. "I've got the best alarm clock in the business and Uncle Sam provides it for me," said a Brooklyn business man of irregular hours. "Two or three days of each week I have to rise early. Our postman has a remarkably piercing whistle and also always rings the doorbell when he leaves any mail. But although he comes regularly as clockwork at seven a. m., he does not always leave mail for me and consequently his whistle does not always blow and the doorbell ring. So I just buy a postcard the afternoon before and mail it myself. It has never failed to arrive by the early mail, accompanied by the whistle and bell."—N. Y. Sun. WANT OLD TREE SAVED. Fine Elm Not to Be Harmed by Erection of Statue. "I am very glad," said an old Washington citizen, who is a lover of trees, "that President Roosevelt has taken a personal interest in the statue of Kosciuszko, the Polish patriot who helped to establish the republic of the United States. He may learn something of the site. The statue is to be erected at the northeast corner of Lafayette park, where it happens one of the finest trees in the district—a magnificent elm—graces that particular corner of the park. It is possible that the people in charge of the erection of the statue may think it desirable to remove the tree in order to improve the clew. Many of the members of the Cosmos club, located at the corner, have acquired a personal affection for the grand old elm, which affords a most grateful shade in the summer time. When the site of the statue was originally selected many months ago in informal meeting was held and a letter of protest was written to Col. Bromwell, the engineer officer in charge of public buildings and grounds. He replied that their wishes would be fully respected and that the statue would be erected on the corner without endangering the tree or its roots. Knowing President Roosevelt's great interest in trees, it is hoped that he will see that our grand old elm' is not injured by the new statue. The officials in charge of the work of putting up the statue say that there is room enough on the corner for both the tree and the statue, and that neither will interfere with the other. I hope they are right in their opinion, but I feel more safe is to the tree in knowing that the president is taking a personal interest in the project." WANTS THE CANTEEN BACK. Old Washington Lady Has Formed Lobby of One. One of the most active woman workers for the restoration of the army canteen is said to be a little lady who lives in South Washington, and whose only son was killed in a drunken brawl in one of the low dives that infest the vicinity of army posts. She pays frequent visits to the halls of congress, and never fails, when she meets a member of either house, to urge him to vote for the repeal of the anti-canteen law. Her son was a private soldier and, had been in the army several years before the canteen was abolished. Up to that time, she explains, he was a comparatively "sober lad." But after the post exchanges were done away with her son sought the low places about the military reservations that had sprung up like mushrooms, and became addicted to the use of the poisonous compounds that were dealt out under the name of "whisky." These, she added, converted him into a maniac for the time, and one day, while on pass and wild from the effects of the stuff, he engaged in a row and was killed. The burden of her plaint to congressmen is that if the canteen had been left undisturbed the boy would now be alive. She asks them to restore it for the sake of "some other mother's son who may be led into the practices of the low resorts and become a confirmed drunkard and gambler, and perhaps meet the fate of my boy." She visited the capitol a short time ago and called the attention of the legislators to the fatal shooting in a bar room near Fort Washington, down the Potomac, as another tragic result of the abolition of the army canteen. Saw Things Optimistically. They are telling an ante-recess story up at the capitol bearing on the strentuous session now in progress. There had been an informal meeting of some of the Nosters just before the holidays and they were looking over the situation and figuring what if anything besides passing the appropriation bills could be done at the short session. The general feeling was pessimistic, tor it was admitted that neither the house nor the senate was fully in accord with the president on all his propositions. But finally one of the members arose and said, gravely: "Gentlemen, away with these gloomy prognostications. I think the outlook for business is all right. We will get through with everything we came to together for. We have done well already and we will do better. We have already saved the dictionary of the United States, and before we get through, d—and if I don't think we will manage to save the constitution." Senator Pettus "Made Good." Senator Pettus Made Good: The punctilious standard of responsibility set up for himself by Senator Pettus, of Alabama, was illustrated a few days ago. A dapper young man called upon him, the grandson of an old southern friend long dead. The caller talked Mr. Pettus out of $50, promising to return it in a few days, but the senator learned that the young man had immediately deserted his wife and gone to parts unknown. The fine old gentleman lost no time in hunting up the deserted wife, gave her enough money to meet her pressing necessities and also paid her way back to her girlhood home in Alabama. "If I hadn't loaned the young scamp money," said Senator Pettus, when asked about the incident, "he would not have been able to get out of Washington and desert his poor little wife. I therefore hold myself responsible for her unhappy plight and, of course, there was nothing for me to do but send her back home to her people." Your best friend and worst enemy is your tongue. Round About New York Gossip of People and Things in the Great Metropolis JEROME A PAST MASTER IN THE ART OF COOKING NEW YORK.—District Attorney William Travers Jerome, who is conducting the prosecution of Harry Kendall Thaw, besides being an able disciple of Blackstone, is a past master in the art of cooking.

Frothingham, the money broker, has brought forth many interesting stories concerning the fortune he made and lost in Wall street and the vast sums that are handled annually by the money brokers of New York. Frothingham started in as an office boy 35 years ago at three dollars a week and for the last 15 years is said to have cleared between $75,000 and $100,000 a year in commissions. The money brokers of Wall street receive a commission of 1-32 per cent, for negotiating time loans. This means a charge of $32 for securing a $100,000 loan, whether it runs for 30, 60, 90 days or longer. The most influential money brokers of Wall street do not think that they are doing a good day's business unless they succeed in lending close to $1,000,000. WOMEN who work in the factories of this city and their employers will be invited to meet in the homes of society women and discuss the relations between employer and employee, so as to establish a better understanding and improve conditions, if the plan suggested by Mrs. Clarence Burns, vice president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, is carried out. Ever since the Civic Federation suggested a similar movement in Chicago, and Mrs. Potter Palmer threw open her mansion to the labor union men and their employers, Mrs. Burns has had the matter under consideration. "What the Civic Federation and Mrs. Potter Palmer did for the workingmen of Chicago, we want to do for the working women of New York," said Mrs. Burns. "There are nearly 100 women's unions in this city with a membership of thousands. By bringing these workers and their employers together on ing to persons representing every occupation in life. Mr. Jerome boards a subway car and, going to his home, with the assistance of Mrs. Jerome, prepares the evening meal. The maids in the Jerome apartment are always in clover when the lord of the house-hold is seized with the notion to cook. The maids simply have to see that the steak or roast is ready, or that the vegetables are within reach for the soup. "The $12,000-a-year cook," as Mrs. Jerome calls her husband, is as fastidious about his cooking utensils as he is with the seasoning of a Welsh rarebit or a salad. His assortment of pans, gridirons, pots and steam cookers is said to be the most modern to be found in any New York grill room. Mr. Jerome is also of a mechanical and inventive turn of mind, and some of his kitchen utensils were devised by him. While at home he delights in discussing cookery, but when away from his office he absolutely refuses to talk law. MARK TWAIN TO WEAR WHITE EVENING CLOTHES greatly different from the conventional evening clothes. Mr. Clemens announced a year ago that he would thenceforth wear white because it corresponded to the original costume mentioned in "Adam's Diary." "I am 70 years old," he said, "and I reckon that's old enough so that I can wear about what I please." Care of his all white wardrobe, which consists of 15 suits, is no easy task for the huromist. He is obliged to send two of them to a cleaner every week. News of the new style spread rapidly among builders of clothes. Several of them said they were glad to know Mr. Clemens had had the courage to break away from the usage which made uncompromisable black the only wear for men after six o'clock in the evening. They also said the Spanish cloak was a great improvement over the usual type of cape overcoat. WALLST MONEY LOANED which means a return to them of $320 for a day's work. When the stock market is very active and the public is trading on a heavy scale, as it did during the excitement of the bull campaign in 1901, it is not an uncommon occurrence for a broker to lend out $3,000,000 or $5,000,000 in a day. Such business becomes exceedingly profitable, and since the commission is paid whenever the loan is renewed it often happens that a money broker can collect his commission from the same borrower two or three times a year. As the practice of lending by out-of-town banks has grown from year to year until today it is estimated that between $300,000,000 and $500,000,000 belonging to out-of-town banks is often outstanding in Wall street loans when money rates are abnormally high, the activity of the money broker has been materially extended. FACTORY GIRLS TO MEET RICH SOCIETY MATRONS an equal footing we can do much to better the conditions of the poor working girls. "This will promote a better understanding between the workers and those who employ them, and in that way do much to aid the former. "Of course, the women in whose houses the meetings are held must be prominent in order to draw the people. However, it would not be absolutely necessary for them to have the meetings in their homes. The meetings might be held in some hotel, under the patronage of prominent women. "There is no reason why the proposed meetings would not be just as successful as those held in Chicago among men; and I feel sure that a better understanding between the working women and their employers would give rise to materially improved conditions among the workers. Invitations will be extended to all the women's unions in the city to send delegates to attend and speak on subjects of interest." UNIQUE FEATURES for JAMESTOWN FAIR THE STATE OF NEW YORK INSIDE OF FLORAL FENCE JAMESTOWN EXPO GROUNDS Differing from all other celebrations, in that the industrial and commercial features, though full and adequate, are subordinate to the historical, the poetical and the spectacular; the Jamestown exposition offers a refreshing contrast to its predecessors. While adequate in every industrial and commercial feature, its eminence will rest upon other grounds. The highest triumphs of human invention and art will all have presentation, but even these must take second place beside the attractions which will distinguish the exposition. tion grounds there has been said what is claimed to be the largest finest parade ground on earth. this field of level green the region of the powers will vie with each in displays of martial pageant. The development of this expo has been something like the development of the original colony at town, with one important exponent Of all of the men and women en in this great enterprise for the ploitation of Tidewater Virginia has not stood forth one man a eminent executive ability. The It is estimated that at no time during the progress of this celebration will there be less than 10,000 soldiers camped about the grounds of the Jamestown exposition, making of it a field of modern chivalry and proffering a picture of triumphant peace to all the people of the world. Underlying this display of material paraphernalia and the pomp of power, there is a crowning appeal to the heart of American patriotism in its historical and sentimental significance. The Jamestown of old has vanished. The history of America's founders is written on the hearts of the nation. It was a pathetically weak household divided against itself and the miracle of its survival is revealed in the dauntless spirit of Capt. John Smith, a man who built better than he knew and blazed the pathway for a nation's feet. The picture of the pilgrim band, with all its history of tumultuous trial and triumph, now stands revealed beneath the mellowing touch of time. Smith, Percy, Rolfe, Newport, Gosnold, Laydon, Anna Bussas; all have passed away. Powhatan and Pocahontas; and all the great red host that looked on them—they too have taded. Like beacon lights far set down time's relentless tide, they signal back to the pathos, and the power, and the pride that was their portion, and of which the first alone remains. It will be observed that the Jamestown exposition not only includes every feature of its predecessors, but will in addition have many original ones possible to it alone. The greatest naval rendezvous in American history. Spectacular international military parades and drills by the picked troops of different countries. Magnificent marine effects and dazzling harbor illumination. Greatest gathering of palatial steam yachts. Drills and contests by sailors of all nations. Actual naval battles between Merri- mine and Monitor. Aught racing and every form of water sport. Sea bathing and sports at all grounds. Greatest assemblages of naval, military and other bands, making it the "musical" exposition par excellence. The greatest and most artistic pier in America. A new and intensely interesting water tournament, devised for the occasion. Digible air vessels in demonstrations and contests. A portion of the victorious Japanese fleet with some of leading commanders. British battleship Dreadnaught, world's largest and most formidable sea fighter. Two hundred Indians and cowboys with head of buffalo, making the greatest wild west show ever exhibited. Spectacular drama of "Pochahontes" by a Norfolk author and said to be of great merit and elegance. From this it will be observed that the eminence of the exposition will rest upon its unparalleled situation on the sea and the imposing spectacular effects of its great military, marine and naval pageantry. The most popular exhibit of the world's fair at Chicago was an imitation warship built upon piles in the lake. The Jamestown exposition will offer its visitors 50 or more of the finest ships of all nations; each one its own little world of fascinating life and animation. Every foreign country has signified its intention of sending ships. Seven of the leading nations will be represented by whole fleets. It is the treasured by whole fleets. Within the Incisure of the exposi- tion grounds there has been set out what is claimed to be the largest and finest parade ground on earth. Upon this field of level green the regiments of the powers will vie with each other in displays of martial pageentry. The development of this exposition has been something like the development of the original colony at James-town, with one important exception. Of all of the men and women engaged in this great enterprise for the Exploitation of Tidewater Virginia, there has not stood forth one man of preeminent executive ability. There has been, however, all of the strife, discord, jealousy and suspicion that marked the founding of James City. In the original colony, however, there was a passenger, one John Smith, who made himself so thoroughly felt at the time, that he gravis his name in history more effecenally than it could have been graved on metal or stone. There was a certain confidence in his bearing, much volubility and boldness in his speech that was exasperating. So acute did the situation become during the voyage across the Atlantic that this Englishman was finally put under arrest. The story of his life hitherto corroborates the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." The story related by himself is exceedingly exciting and romantic. It would have been more casily believed if it had been put on record by other hands than his own. It runs something like this: When but a youth he ran away from home, carrying with him his trifling belongings, and entered upon a wonderful career of adventure. While a mere lad he was shipwrecked, and again, according to his own account, he was robbed at sea. He became a tramp and wanderer through France, where, being attacked and robbed, he was left half dead and exceedingly near to perishing. Meeting this same horde of bandits later on, he reaped swift vengeance by slaying some of them. While on a ship carrying devout Catholics to the Easter celebrations at Rome, he was thrown overboard in order to appease a most furious storm for which his heretical person was held responsible. Whatever became of the pious Christian voyagers after their most alarming experience, is not known. Smith himself partly floated and partly swam to a desolate island. From this island he was rescued by a passing ship. While on this ship there was an encounter with a Venetian argosy, and after a bloody conflict, in which he was conspicuous, the argosy was captured and its treasury distributed amongst those engaged in the battle. Later on he joined the Germans, who were engaged in a fierce war against the Turks. As a soldier of the army of Prince Sigismund, he had a memorable experience with three Turks who were the champions of the Turkish armies. In this encounter he slew first one and then another, and still another of the Turks, who, in turn, engaged him in duel. This exploit commanded for him at once the favor of the German army; and especially of Prince Sigismund, who made him a present of a handsome purse, and who afterwards gave him a patent of nobility, the coat-of-arms of which was a shield upon which were emblazoned three Turks' heads, commemorating the combat with the three Turks of the Mohammedan forces. Whether one accepts the truthfulness of these stories related above depends largely upon one's point of view. Fortunately for Smith, the most exciting and unlikely of the incidents is corroborated by other and older records than his own. The story of the encounter with the Turks and the subsequent reward on the part of Sigismund are matters that had gone on record before Smith's narrations concerning them had been made public. But, whether John Smith was the hero and nobleman that he confesses himself to have been, he was a man who "did things," and because of his doings, the exploitation of historic Tide-water Virginia, is called the "Jamestown Exposition," albeit, the location is far from Jamestown, and very few of the myriads of visitors will go out of their way to visit the original place of settlement. SMITH D. FRY. WOMAN'S SPHERE THE SMALL DINNER THE SMALL DINNER ITS SUCCESS IS LARGELY A MAT- TER OF TASTE. Because one may not spend many dollars on the giving of dinners, that is no reason why one may not have them. It needs only a pretty arranged table, a congenial and carefully selected group of six or eight guests and a hostess in a pretty pale frock, to achieve an atmosphere that cannot be outdone, except in the matter of money spent, by the hostess who has a menage of sorts with a butler to serve and three or four maids to help take off one's wraps. The first principle for the hostess with one maid who aspires to a dinner, is to be tremendously careful not to attempt the impossible. Just the fact of giving the dinner is bound to mean a lot of work for her, but that will be part of her joy in the occasion. The menu ought to be simple and of things that she knows her cook can achieve, and the salad, the dessert and all the arrangements must be done by herself, if they are to be at all elaborate. An oyster or a fruit cocktail, to begin with, is an inexpensive dish, and one that will give a simple meal a "party-like" air that will start it right. A pineapple cocktail, for instance, may be made from canned fruit. The fruit is shredded quite fine, then to it is added three sherry glasses of curacao and the juice of three lemons. Use enough sugar to sweeten and a gill of good brandy and a few cherries or white grapes. Place at each plate a tall glass of this on a small dolie. There need be no worry over the clear soup, for every cook can make that, only be sure it is hot. Then the fish may be in ramakins or large artificial shells and of halibut with bits of lobster, and this too loses its goodness if not hot. With the roast there need be but one vegetable, that a hot macaroni dish or chestnuts creamed, tiny carrots in a cream sauce; always potatoes in some form, those beaten up and seasoned and put back into their half-shells with a top-dressing of whipped egg are nice. The salad, the next course, should TO WEAR OSTRICH FEATHERS. Enormous Plumage Adornments Are Now Called For. Ostrich feathers a yard long indicate the Parisienne's craving for plumage adornment. And not only one, but two or three of these immense plumes are used to decorate one hat. The feathers are, of course, the richest and best of their kind, the fronds curling up most gracefully and spreading out at the ends in a rather novel manner—that is, as the tip of the feather is approached the fronds straighten out, curling up only at their ends. In this way the feathers at the tips hang with a specially graceful droop. To produce this novel effect it is said that these are placed in water so that they will dry quite fluffy and straight, and afterward merely the tips are curled up to give the necessary finish. Except in plain black and white, almost all of these tremendously long feathers are varied in their coloring. If a pale color runs up the center with the stem the outer edges are more deeply tinted, or vice versa; a white feather near the root may have shell pink showing at the tip, a pink will merge into pale gray or brown, and so on. A Dress for the Small Girl. A Dress for the Small Girl. Box plaits are the feature of the small dress for the small girl. The little waist has a full pointed yoke, back and front. The box plaits extend from this yoke to the belt. In the front they are trimmed with buttons. The five-gored skirt made with box plaits to correspond with those in the waist is fastened to the waist under a pointed girdle belt. The skirt has full side gores, two inverted plaits at the back, and is finished with a hem. The bishop sleeves are finished with a strapped cuff fastened with a button. A stitched band of the material of coarse lace insertion may be used as the trimming to outline the yoke. Mercerized madras will be found a serviceable and pretty material for this dress, or gingham, zephyr or pique may be used. The front box plaits, the cuff and girdle belt should be trimmed with big pearl buttons. — Woman's Home Companion. New Lace Ties. Lace is more fashionable than ever, and the soft lace ties, bows and jabobs are immensely becoming and extremely popular. A band of Valenciennes insertion, with a narrow edge to match, makes a charming tie, the ends finished with a wide ruffle of the same lace. Valenciennes and the fine laces are the most used for this fashion. Rare old pieces of lace are making their appearance.—Dress. be above all very cold, and the plates equally so. Haven't you dined in houses where the plateets were sadly limited and the cook had hastily washed some that had been used before, and that were still hot? That is one of the small tragedies that the hostess of small allowance must guard against thrusting upon the notice of her guests. A skinned tomato stuffed with a delicious concoction of chopped-up nuts and apple, with a delicious dab of mayonnaise dressing flowing over it, with a crisp lettuce leaf beneath will make a splash of color that looks most refreshing after the hot dishes. One serves tiny toasted and cheeseed biscuits with this, with cream. Camembert or Iris cheese. And then the dessert may be as elaborate as one dares attempt. About the simplest and yet most elaborate-looking sweet there is, is made by filling tall stemmed glasses with a vanilla ice into which you have chopped walnuts and wee bits of pineapple or cherry and on which is poured a hot chocolate sauce. There is a knowing air of doing the right thing by having the small coffee cups passed in the living room on a tray with cream and sugar. The decorations of the table may be as simple as possible, for If the linen is smooth and fine and there are candles at the four corners with shades as pretty as possible and pretty laid silver, one has already half-decorated the table. A low bowl filled with merely a half dozen roses that are to branch loosely out are enough, and the pretty marissaus, so inexpensive now, can be arranged in a shallow Japanese dish with the odd little metal holders at the bottom of the bowl that serve to hold the tall stems upright, and then one fills the base with moss or ferns, low-lying. Hostesses often think that, since they cannot afford expensive wines and expensive champagne and liquors, it is best to go without, but a good claret solves this difficulty and gives an air of "correctness." It's extremely bad to refuse wine ostentationally from some principle, but one can let one's glass be filled and leave it without comment of any sort; and it is considered provincial not to serve any wine whatever at a "truly" dinner party; so if you do not, on the score of expense, let the having of a good claret solve the question, with the consciousness that you are doing the "correct" thing and that it is, after all, best in keeping with a meal that you and a single servant have evolved. The cravat, the shirt, and similar accessories of dress all play a most important part in the costume tailleur, in which we see, perhaps, the smartest of the early tashions. Here our artist has sketched a charmingly pret- 1 ty white cloth costume. You will notice that the braid is a heavy military one, with a thick rim; this is a novelty which will share its popularity with a fine silk braid. Both look well, but require skilful treatment. This garment savors of the Directoire coat, fastening invisibly at one side, and forming altogether an uneconomical and chic garment. Passing of the Pompadour Slowly but surely is the pompadour roll in the front of the hair losing its hold on fashionable favor. The front and side locks most certainly stand out around the face, but the hard, stiff and uncompromising line of the pompadour is no longer thought smart, and the hair must be in soft waves over the forehead—Dress. Men Admire White Gowns Men like whatever contrasts most with their own sober though practical attire. They may accept tailor made gowns and sensible hats, but they ap preciate feminine beauty most in distinctly feminine settings—picture hats, soft plumes, delicately colored gowns. A white dress, be it the simplest muslin or richest silk, always catches the masculine eye. OLD SEWANEE to CELEBRATE THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY'S Fifty years ago next July the University of the South, or Sewance university as it is best known, was organized, and in recognition of that beginning a celebration is to be held this year on the beautiful grounds of the institution on the high plateau of Lookout mountain to which will come the Sewance clans from all parts of the union. In the clan of Sewance are such men as President Roosevelt and J. Pierpont Morgan, both of whom have promised to climb the mountain and join in the festivities. Neither the president nor the millionaire financier are graduates of Sewance, but because of the help they have given the university they are counted as members of the clan. President Roosevelt was particularly attracted to Sewanee because of its attitude in the negro problem. He believes that the university will play a conspicuous part in years to come in solving the question. The president is intimately acquainted with the vice chancellor of the university, Prof. B. L. Wiggins, and has professed the greatest confidence in Sewanee's work. Sewanee teaches its students that the peplplexing race problem is to be solved only by appealing to the moral side of the negro. Intellectual development of the colored man, Sewanee believes, cannot alone accomplish the work. The working out of this problem is only a part of Sewanee's ambition. The university, broad in principle upon every question, aims to turn out men who are able to grasp the hardest questions of life, guided by the spirit of attrition. That was the spirit that inspired the founders of the University of the South when, in 1857, the corner stone for the institution was laid on Look out mountain. Swineye has turned out thousands of graduates, and today there are lawyers, doctors and business men of great prominence throughout the country who will say that it was the influence of Swineye that was in a great measure responsible for their success. J. Pierpont Morgan became interested in Swineye five years ago, when he attended a convention of the Episcopal church, in Minneapolis. The university, although run under the auspices of the Episcopal church, is non-sectarian in character. Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky, told the convention of Swineye's work, and Morgan became deeply impressed. When the convention was over Mr Morgan told Bishop Dudley that he would like to help such a university as he had described. A few weeks later the millionaire sent the university $50,000 in railroad bonds and folowed it up with a cash donation of $15,000. Lately he has promised another donation. There are over 500 New Yorkers who were graduated from Swanace. They have organized an alumni society with Dr. John H. P. Hodgson, of Washington Square, as president. Dr. Hodgson's father, Rev. Dr. Tel fair Hodgson, was so fond of the university that for 15 years he gave his services gratis as its vice chancellor. At his death, some years ago, Mrs Hodgson, his widow, erected a memorial chapel costing $23,000 on the university grounds. Rev. Mr. Hodgson, during his service as vice chancellor, presented the university with a medical infirmary. Sewancee has a romantic history. Bishop Folk, of Louisiana, was its founder. A son of the bishop, Dr William M. Folk, is a prominent practitioner in this city. Bishop Folk enlisted interest among southerners and got a donation of 10,000 acres of forest land on a high plateau on Lookout mountain. Besides this, he was promised endowments aggregating $3,000,000. The day the corner stone was laid—a bleak afternoon in October—5,000 men and women made their way to the mountain top. In the town of Sewance, at the foot of the mountain, there were not nearly enough houses to shelter them for the night. Tents were pitched in the forest, and there the visitors rested. There was an immense barbecue, and the occasion was one long to be remembered. Several wooden structures were put up for the workmen, and the work of building the University of the South was soon begun. Then came the civil war. The Seventh Illinois troops one day, in traveling from Nashville to Chattanooga, came upon the crude university huts. The work of putting up the stone buildings had not been started. The soldiers saw the marble cornerstone and at once became inquisitive. The stone was blown open with gumpowder, and the papers that Bishop Polk had placed there were abstracted. The wooden huts were set afire, and nothing remained to mark the site of the Sewanee university but ashes. During the war Bishop Polk, at the head of a Louisiana regiment, was killed. When the war was over the trustees again took up the work of building the university. They found that the fortunes of those who had promised the $1,000,000 of endowments had been dissipated. There were no funds with which to continue the work. Discouraged, the trustees concluded to abandon the idea. Under the grant by which they came into possession of the forest land, they would lose title if no buildings were put up by the fall of 1868. Bishop Quintard, whose brothers now own the Quintard iron works, of this city, realized that Sewancee was doomed unless something was hurriedly done. Three days before possession would have passed from the trustees, the bishop and two others went up to the mountain and planted a rustic cross, after the fashion of the warriors under William the Conqueror. The next day they hastily nailed together two rough huts, and the day after that the University of the South was an established fact. The bishop and his two counterparts sent for their sons, and for a year the boys were the only students of Sewanee. In the meantime the trustees had got more funds and stone buildings were beginning to assume shape. Inside of two years there were half a dozen the structures in that wilderness, with several professors and 50 students. Now Sewanee has an average of 550 students every year. Its domain has been beautiful until to day the grounds are among the finest to be found in the world. There are magnificent residences for the professors, while many of the friends or alumni of the university have houses on the grounds and live there the year round. One of the things on which Sewanee prides itself is this community. The university population, outside of the students, is over 1,000. Sewance's professors, unlike those of some universities, are never kept under restraint of speech. Freedom of the chair is one of the things for which the university is tamed. An instance of this is furnished in the case of Prof. Trent, now professor of English literature at Columbia university. The professor was, until a few years ago, one of the faculty of Sewance. Although a southerner, Prof Trent has some views on the war that are not in accord with those of all other southerners. Some years ago the professor wrote his impressions in a book which he called "Southern Statesmen of the Old Regime." The book created a factor in the south, as Prof. Trent had expected, Stanley friends of the university in the south wrote researching letters to the trustees demanding that Prof. Trent be instantly dismissed. They considered his utterance intolerable. The reply of the trustees was subtantially this: "We allow tree speech at Sewanee. That is one of the cardinal principles of our institution. Prof. Trent has not violated the university's law, therefore we cannot see any reason why he should be called to account. He will remain with Sewanee as long as he is true to its principles. Prof. Trent remained until he married and then moved to New York city. Long Distance. "Where are you going, old chap?" asked the first youth. "Going to send Myrtilia a kiss through the telephone" replied the second youth. "Why, you are slow. Don't you know a kiss through a telephone loses its flavor?"

It may seem strange that the white press of the country with its men of letters, linguists and scholars, continue to treat the word Negro as a common noun, when it is well known that the word, regardless of its derivation, is intended to denote a particular race. The pity of it is that there are some Negro journals which persist in treating the word as a common noun. We have no aversion to the word, but when it is used out of respect for English, it should be written with a big "N".

In some there is A Scalloped Collar of Heavy Linen with Fleur de lis. (1) the merest suspicion of stiffness, (2) in others they are soft and (3) bumpy. Some of the newest turnovers are (4) entirely of rows of Valenciennes insuffusion finished by a frill of lace. (5) there are entirely of lace. The frills on the edge are often IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS. Vipet Luncheon and Book Party Interesting Entertainments. Violets are the flowers for the month of March, ao here is the hostess opportunity to give a violet lunchon. For the centerpiece have violets on a low jar and a nosegay of theigrant flowers tied with violet gauze ribbon at each plate. Candle shades on violet with silver tracery are very pretty. Serve caviar on toast, grape fruit with cherries, bouillon, baked oysters with camakins, breast of chicken, cutlets, peas, potato croquettes, hot rolls, cucumbers, salad in cucumber boats, cheese and raspberry jam, baskets of sweet violet hue, filled with ice cream, sprinkled with candied violets; coffee and violet colored bonbons. The hostess should wear a gown of this beautiful shade, and if the expense does not count, she may give to each guest a violet stick pin. Another Book Party This scheme is always good, though to many it may sound stale. I've yet to see it fail to be interesting and amusing. I attended such a party last week, and never had a better time. The invitations were in the form of a book and requested each guest to come representing a book, either in costume or by wearing an article indicative of the book. Here are some of the volumes who appeared: "Under the Lilacs," the young woman wore a hat trimmed with blues; "Under Two Flags," typing two flags in the hair; Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" was very funny, the man appeared with a cabbage leaf sewed on the middle of his cost in the back. The Man on the Box" was a young man who carried a wooden box and intervals stood on it. "Trilby" was represented by a card featuring a long musical trill and a bee tawn with ink. A husband and wife were "We Two," "My Wife and I," and "He Fell in Love with His Wife." An elderly gentleman appeared with a huge "S" and "A" pinned to his coat. He was totally guessed as Pope's "Essay on Man." The refresaments were fish turbot in shells, cheese sandwiches, coffee, olives, salted pustachio nuts, a macaque ice cream angel food. For prizes a book and a framed photograph of Emerson were given, and the favors were book candy boxes filled with tiny bon-bons. A Novelty Shower. The showers for brides now include nearly every article imaginable, but one of the newest things is to give a "Novelty Shower." As Mine, Merri has said before, only the very near and dear friends of the bride elect should be asked to these affairs, for the bride should not be asked to accept or people to give things that are not prompted by a heart full of love. The affair in question was so-called because each friend tried to think of something that the honored guest could not have. They consulted to finely plaited, and when of linen or batiste usually hemstitched. Real Torchon, Cluny and babe Irish are employed to alternate with fine lace or as a border above the hem. All sorts of pretty conceits are shown as a finish for the heavy and sheer turn over collars. Quite a diversity of tab effects are displayed, but the most successful, so far as popular approval is concerned, is one having two little tab-shaped ends of plaited slips, fastened to a shaped piece that fastens on the inside of the collar to the upper buttons, one tab resting above the other and fastened by a plain pin or one of fancy shape. There are also two little bows quite narrow, which give a very neat finish to the neck. Then, there are plain, plaid and checked scarfs of silk and linen ranging in price from 25 cents to $1.50, to wear with these collars, which are tied in a single bow under the chin. Four in-hand ties are worn with stiff linen collars, and the pins for these are of gold, silver and gun metal of the safety pin style, set with one or more semi-precious stones. Horse shoes, plain or set with stones, also are shown, beside whips and horse shoes of French brilliants, which are quite sporty looking. Sets with turnover collars have cuffs of medium width and the collar is wider than the turnover for separate wear. Some exquisitely dainty things come in these sets, which are hand-embroidered with French work or an excellent imitation of the same on a foundation of sheer linen or fine Persian lawn. Turn-back collar and cuff sets of fine linen with very full fine plattings on the edge are among the offerings. Coat sets come in hand work on sheer linen and are extremely dainty with their delicate designs in which open and blind work are combined or in which small face medallions are worked in the center and ends. Sometimes a little drawn work appears by way of a variant. gather, so there were no duplicates. There were ten guests, and here is a list of what they brought. A bag of silk to cover the hat when traveling, a case of postal cards, one addressed to each girl; a pad of paper and a bunch of stamped envelopes; a late magazine with the especially good articles marked; a late book with paragraphs marked. Then there was a box of candles (one bride said she was all ready to give her first dinner party, and discovered she did not have a candle in the house); a set of dinner cards ready for the name; a dozen lace paper mats to go under sherbert glasses; several dozen paper holders for nuts and bonbons. Then there were boxes of assorted pins and hairpins, and a little workbasket marked "for your guest chamber." A tube of library paste, boxes of matches and soap completed the articles. They all had the jolliest time and the bride said it was the most sensible "shower" she had had. MADAME MEEEL New Colors Appear. Brown and green and the smoke tins that were promised such vogue at the beginning of the season still hold their own, but several new colors are creeping into favor. There is a dull mincing of brown and rose which is called rosewood, there are coppery browns that are almost red, and there are many shades of bronze. IN SCHOOL AND NURSERY. 10 A new effect in the taffeta shirt-waist suit is shown on the miss' figure. The sleeves are omitted, and the armhole opening extends nearly to the girdle, showing a lingerie waist beneath. The little girl's frock is of red cloth and black velvet with white underbody, and the velvet ribbon decoration on the front and sleeves is made on white taffeta foundation. The baby's dress is of sheer lawn, with hand embroidered yoke and circular flounce, trimmed with Valenciennes lace, beadings and baby ribbons. Jewel Stained with Blood The Orloff diamond is believed to be responsible for 67 murders. PREPARE THIS YOURSELF. Tells How to Make the Best Blood Tonic at Home. For those who have any form of blood disorders; who want new, rich blood and plenty of it, try this: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can supply the ingredients at small cost. This is the prescription which, when made up, is called "The Vegetable Treatment;" by others, the "Cyclone Blood Parifier." It acts gently and certainly does wonders for some people who are sickly, weak and out of sorts, and is known to relieve serious, long-standing cases of theumatism and chronic backache quickly. Make some up and try it. PENMANSHIP A FINE ART. Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand Work from the Field. There is a renaissance in penmanship, despite the speedy comforts of the typewriters. Ten years ago it probably would not have occurred to anyone to show a page of manuscript at any exhibition; to-day pages or books of script form a feature of every show which takes to itself the name of arts and crafts. Some of the work is in Roman capitals, but the form of letter usually adopted is the unicell or halfuncell. Apparently all the writers have founded themselves in these models. Within these last few years not only has the art attracted a good deal of attention, but it has become quite the rage, so that in some circles it creates no more surprise now to learn that an amateur is taking lessons in script than it would have done some years back to be told that he or she had taken to poker work. From one viewpoint it is difficult to say where writing ends and illustration begins, but though in the recent revival the two arts naturally have gone hand in hand, the scribe and the illuminator are not necessarily one and the same person. Some of the illuminations show most elaborate and minute figure decoration, so delicate in coloring and so refined in treatment that it challenges comparison with the best of old work. Expect Contest Over Will. A contest is expected over the will of Mrs. Isabelle Beecher Hooker, sister of Henry Ward Beecher. Mrs. Katherine Burton Powers of Brookline, Mass., granddaughter of Mrs. Hooker, is expected to contest the will. The bulk of the estate which is estimated at about $70,000, is given to the son of Mrs. Hooker, Dr. Edward B. Hooker of Hartford. Mrs. John C. Day of New York, daughter of Mrs. Hooker, receives nothing "because," according to the will, "she and her daughter are so amply provided for by the estate of her late husband." MORE BOXES OF GOLD And Many Greenbacks. 225 boxes of Gold and Greenbacks will be sent to persons who write the most interesting and truthful letters of experience on the following topics: 1. How have you been affected by coffee drinking and by changing from coffee to Postum. 2. Give name and account of one or more coffee drinkers who have been hurt by it and have been induced to quit and use Postum. 3. Do you know any one who has been driven away from Postum because it came to the table weak and characterless at the first trial? 4. Did you set such a person right regarding the easy way to make it clear, black, and with a snappy, rich taste? 5. Have you ever found a better way to make it than to use four heaping teaspoonfuls to the pint of water, let stand on stove until real boiling begins, and beginning at that time when actual boiling starts, boil full 15 minutes more to extract the flavor and food value. (A piece of butter the size of a pea will prevent boiling over.) This contest is confined to those who have used Postum prior to the date of this advertisement. Be honest and truthful, don't write poetry or fanciful letters, just plain, truthful statements. Contest will close June 1st, 1907, and no letters received after that date will be admitted. Examinations of letters will be made by three judges, not members of the Postum Cereal Co. Ltd. Their decisions will be fair and final, and a neat little box containing a $10 gold piece sent to each of the five writers of the most interesting letters, a box containing a $5 gold piece to each of the 20 next best, a $2 greenback to each of the 100 next best, and a $1 greenback to each of the 200 next best, making cash prizes distributed to 325 persons. Every friend of Postum is urged to write and each letter will be held in high esteem by the company, as an evidence of such friendship, while the little boxes of gold and envelopes of money will reach many modest writers whose plain and sensible letters contain the facts desired, although the sender may have but small faith in winning at the time of writing. Talk this subject over with your friends and see how many among you can win prizes. It is a good, honest competition and in the best kind of a cause, and costs the competitors absolutely nothing.

"Young gentlemen," said the college president, notwithstanding the fact that he was addressing the students, "young gentlemen, hazing must be stopped and stopped at once. It has injured the college more than any of you ever could guess. Only last week a gentleman declined to give us $1,000,000 because there was so much hazing. Hazing is a bad thing financially." "How about morally?" asked the student. "Aw. aw, really, there may be something in that, but—aw—the—the point has never come up, and I—aw—am not prepared to answer.

"Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905." Long Sermons. Mark Twain tells this story, the moral of which you may supply yourself: "I went to church one time and was so impressed by what the preacher told me about the poor heathen that I was ready to give up a hundred dollars of my own money and even go out and borrow more to send to the heathen. But the minister preached too long, and my enthusiasm began to drop about $25 a drop till there was nothing left for the poor heathen, and by the time he was through and the collection was taken up I stole ten cents off the plate."—Southwestern's book.

A German journalist visiting in Washington, himself a man of stalwart proportions, was rather inclined to look with something like contempt on the many undersized statesmen he saw in the national legislature. But when Secretary Taft bore down upon him he gasped in wonder. They were introduced and after a short chat the secretary departed. Just as he disappeared from the German's admiring gaze the towering form of Congressman Sulloway hove into view. The German looked at the New Hampshire man long and earnestly. "He is bigger than any man in his imperial majesty's Uhlian guards," said the foreigner in a tone of chagrin. "and I shall write one whole letter about him." A Big Bargain for 12 Cents Postpaid.

Mrs. Jolie Robbins, of 1121 Clar St., Decatur, Ill., says: "I was weak, thin and troubled with headaches. My appetite failed so that I did not relish my food. I was unable to do my work because my limbs pained me so and my feet were swollen. I got numb and dizzy, my tongue seemed at times to be paralyzed so that I couldn't speak distinctly. My extremities, when in this numb state, felt as if some one was suckling needles into me all over their surface. Through my shoulders at times I had such pain that I couldn't sleep. Many times I awoke with a smothering sensation. "When the physician's remedies failed to benefit me I began to look for something that would. My sister, Mrs. McDaniel, of Decatur, recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me and I at once purchased some. I was greatly encouraged when I saw how they acted on my nervous condition and continued using them until cured. I am now able to attend to my duties and have not consulted a physician since. "I also gave them to my daughter who had always been weak and who at this time seemed to lack vitality. Her cheeks were colorless and she was thin and spiritless. She had anaemia and we feared consumption, because every time she went out doors if it was at all cold or damp she would take cold and cough. But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills brought color back to her cheeks and strength to her body."

LYON CALL FOR MILLIONS NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED AT WASHINGTON. Many Departments at Present Insufficiently Housed—Magnificent Structures in Contemplation or Course of Erection. "While visitors who have not seen the nation's capital in several years are universal in their comments upon the marked improvement and expansion of the city," said a Washington architect, "these evidences of our growth are nothing to what may be summarized and presented as a bird's-eye view in even so short a time as two years hence. "Omitting the congressional library from our conclusions, it will be noted that many years elapsed between the erection of the war, state and navy buildings and that occupied by the post office department, the most recent acquisition to our department structures. While this building has been occupied since 1899, it is now very much overcrowded, many of its divisions being scattered in other buildings down town. "The government printing office building can hardly be classed as an office structure, and neither can that of the bureau of engraving and printing. The building occupied by the latter is so very much overcrowded that the work is stated to be seriously interfered with, and that unless congress speedily grants an appropriation for further additions the congestion at present existing will offer a difficult problem to those who have to do with its solution. "The new office building of the senate and the house of representatives will in nowise relieve the congestion in the executive departments, and which, by the scattering of the various divisions and bureaus of the different departments throughout the city, is a source of great annoyance and inconvenience to all concerned, not to speak of the heavy expenditures for rentals. The department of justice is especially inconvenienced by reason of being inadequately housed in what was formerly a private library in another structure over half a mile away. The newly created department of commerce and labor also has no home which it may truthfully call its own. In the vicinity of the war, state and navy building there are three or four structures filled with the overflow from the mammoth granite pile. "Hence, as large as an appropriation of $10,000,000 for office buildings in this city may seem at first blush, it would, indeed, be found to be inadequate to properly accomplish the purposes, and a total of $15,000,000 allowing $5,000,000 each for three new buildings, would be found to be more in keeping with a situation which is perfectly well understood to exist in this city, and which, as has always been the case since the inception of the government, has been one which has never been fully met by our chief legislative body. "From the standpoint of simple commercialism, eliminating all the other important constituent elements of this highly important governmental and local question, it would be supposed that the proper housing of its executive and working forces in the capital would be a primary consideration with congress. "But we cannot have too many pubic buildings in the city, even though the outsider may imagine that we already have a sufficiency, and we will not, therefore, be unnecessarily alarmed at the fear that we may have too many of these structures. The yearly volume in the increase of the government's business, and the necessarily enlarged forces required to handle it, are so great that it will not be long that the need for new structures will be increasingly imperative. "With the completion of the senate and the house of representatives" office buildings the rectangle bounding the east end of the capitol grounds will, with the exception of a single square, be covered by marble structures of beauty and size which cannot be duplicated in any other capital in the world, and there will be formed a plaza which in itself will be worth a continental or an ocean journey to feast the eyes upon. In fact, the beautiful white union station structure, being but two squares from these grounds, might with propriety be included within the radius." Did Taft Smile? A little story anent Secretary Taft, which I think has never been in print, was told the writer by a friend who was an eyewitness. It was on a Washington street car and nearly all the seats were occupied. A pretty young lady and a bright-looking small boy sat near the rear door. The car came to a halt and Secretary Taft entered. Of course, every eye was fastened upon the distinguished official, who, with becoming statelliness and dignity, passed down the aisle to a vacant seat in the rear end of the car. The small boy climbed on the seat and watched the royal progress with fascinated eyes. Then, breaking the silence of awe, rose his clear, penetrating childish voice: "Auntie, auntie! Why has the gentleman got his legs put on behind?" The secretary sank into the nearest seat and the silence was still further broken by irrepressible giggles.—Boston Herald. Good Reasons.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906. Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Government Agent, Indianapolis, Ind. My Dear Sir: When you were at our place in July I promised to write you what my north quarter made per acre. You will remember it was all sown to wheat. Well, I finished threshing yesterday and received from it an average of $43\frac{1}{2}$ bushels per acre—testing $64\frac{1}{2}$ pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat is the best sample I have ever raised—so uniform and even in size. You may know it was a good sample when I tell you that I have already sold 2,000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors. This year has been my best effort in farming during my life. My wheat totaled 9,280 bushels and my oats nearly 5,000. If you remember I pointed out to you a half section lying just west of our house and joining my upper quarter on the south, which I said I should have in order to make one of the best farms in western Canada. I am very glad to be able to tell you that I now own that half section. My ambition now is to be able to market 20,000 bushels of wheat next year. If some of those good, honest Hoosiers could have been with me during the last two weeks and could have seen the golden grain rushing down the spout into my wagon and then could have seen it in great piles in my granaries, I feel sure they would have been forced to acknowledge there is no better farming country in the world than this. I may just say that I have done all my farming with eight head of horses and one hired man except during harvest and threshing. This year I proved to my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when once "woke up," can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers. His best yield was $42\%$ bushels per acre, so you see "old Indiana" is holding the ribbon this year. Yours very truly. N. E. BAUMINK. PREACHER AND THE POET. Writer Speculates on Shakespeare a a Churchgoer. Probably Shakespeare did his own thinking on questions of religion, said little, and conformed strictly to the existing order. Still we question if he was a good churchgoer. The town and church of Stratford had a decided bent toward Prebysterianism, and there is reason to think that he did not get on well with it in this respect. Himself the wisest of preachers, he does not seem to have been fond of preaching. That which sounds most like it—and very wise it is—comes from Polonius, whom he calls "a prating old fool." We fear that when he walked to church with his wife he went no farther than the porch, but strolled along the Avon, where he was found by Susanna and Judith on "a grassy bank" in close converse with "daisies pied and violets blue," and "herb-o-grace" as became Sunday. And in winter he was not sorry "when coughing drowned the parson's saw." The preacher and the poet have never got on well together, and will not until they are identically the same person, as Cardinal Newman says; and they must not divide and antagonize what God have joined together—Theodore T. Munger in the February Atlantic. How to Sleep in a Blanket. There are a great many very competent treatises telling you how to build your fire, pitch your tent and all the rest of it. I have never seen described the woodman's method of using a blanket, however. Lie flat on your back. Spread the blanket over you. Now raise your legs rigid from the hips, the blanket, of course, draping over them. In two swift motions tuck first one edge under your legs from right to left, then the second edge under from left to right, and over the first edge. Lower your legs, wrap up your shoulders and go to sleep. If you roll over one edge will unwind but the other will tighten.—Stowart Edward White in Outing. COFFEE THRESHED HER. 15 Long Years. "For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little lil. woman, "while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physicians, but did not get much relief. "I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was downhearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find something to help me. "Several years ago while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Postum and thought I had never tasted anything more delicious. "From that time on I used Postum instead of coffee, and soon began to improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or more with ease, and do many other things that I never thought I would be able to do again in this world. "My appetite is good, I sleep well, and find life worth living, indeed. A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tasteless. "I explained to her the difference when it is made right—boiled according to directions. She was glad to know this because coffee did not agree with her. Now her folks say they expect to use Postum the rest of their lives." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkks. "There's a reason."

Rings Round Eyes --- The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.

BOX Save Darning and Make Your Feet Happy M. D. STEVENSON & CO. 1003 WALNUT STREET SOLE AGENTS for KANSAS CITY Tuskegee Institute, Ala., February 1, 1907.—It is now nearly twelve years since Frederick Douglass, to whom the Negro people owe more than to any other man of our race, for the part he took in securing our freedom, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the subrubs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to preserve this house with its memorials and traditions and make it a permanent memorial to Douglass and the Negro people. An association, known as the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a rare opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Douglass and to show their reverence and love for the man, who during the trying times before and after the war, consoled in his own life, more than any other man of our race the aspirations and the cause of the Negro people. I have been asked by the officers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $4,400 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the Association and the Negro people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to the Negro people what Mount Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would contribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by Post Office order, check, or otherwise, as soon as this communication is read. I am making this appeal by the authority of the officers of the Fredrick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, and with the approval and sympathy of Mr. Douglass immediate family. Now is the time, when Mr. Douglass' birthday is being celebrated and talked of in all parts of the country, for the race to show its love for Douglass not only in words, but in deeds. I shall hope to receive, within the next few days this money, which can be sent in sums of twenty-five cents up. Each contributor will receive a receipt for whatever he sends. After the money has been secured to clear off the mortgage, I am sure steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purpose mentioned. The following letters, written to me for the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, will make the situation clear: Washington, D. C, December 17, 1906; Cearn, Mr. Washington: There is an encumbrance of fifty-four hundred dollars ($5400), bearing 6 per cent interest, payable semi-annually against the Donglass property. This property consists of about fourteen acres in the heart of Anacostia, on a hill giving a beautiful view of the Potomac River and city for several miles. It is the opinion of experts that when the Government completes the new bridge and the construction of the flats, this property will be worth at least $5,000 an acre, its annual worth is now $1,500 and more. It is exempt from taxes by the out of Congress incorporating the Propertiak Donglass Memorial and Historical Association. The Association needs at least the $5,400 to lift the mortgage. In the course of time about nine acres of the property could be cut up into building lots and sold and with the proceeds of such sale Cedar Hill could be endowed with ample funds to meet the wants of the Donglass Memorial Association in perpetuity.

Recipe That Is Sure to Please the Most Fastidious. To make mayonnaise is indeed a fine art in cookery; unless the greatest care is observed the dressing will be either too thick or too thin, or it will curl at the stage when the oil is poured in. Here is a famous recipe for mayonnaise that cannot fail to please the most fastidious. Beat the yolks of two eggs until they are creamy and then add, very slowly, three or four tablespoonfuls high grade salad oil, and next two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, slowly as the oil. Now pour the contents from the mixer into a saucepan of boiling water. You are to continue stirring until the dressing begins to get thick, when it is to be removed from the water and stirred until cool. Now add one-half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls French mustard, one teaspoonful sugar. Having previously beaten the whites of the two eggs and a fourth of a tumbler of cream, stir these in with the dressing in the order named. As this will make a rather large quantity of dressing you may save half for another time and in that case do not add the whipped cream until you are almost ready to serve at table. Georgia Split Biscuit. Pare and boil three large Irish potatoes until soft. While still hot mash them finely. Add a cup of blended lard and butter, two eggs beaten separately and an yeast cake dissolved in a pint of warm milk. Finally, add enough flour to make a smooth dough. After letting this rise again roll it out on a bread board to the thickness of half an inch. Cut into biscuits; butter each one on the top and place over it another biscuit. Crowd them slightly in the pan to keep from spreading, and brush the tops with a piece of melted butter. They will make their last rising quickly, and should be baked as any other roll would be.
