America—the fairest of fair lands, whose productive soil and pleasant breezes, whose unexcelled and variated climes makes it the garden spot of earth, must if her people do not stop, be called to meet the inevitable fate which is meted out to all nations of people who pride self above the common laws of God. America—who of all the continents of the world offered herself as the place for the pilgrim fathers, whose love for individual life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness—led them from a tyrany mother country—to the land of the new country. These faithful, care-worn men and women left their mother country because their "liberties were checked" and sought the new country with the avowed purpose to raise up a country and a people who would serve God according to the dedicates of one's own conscience and that each man would grant to his fellow man the highest exercise of every right vouchedsafe to humanity by the great Master Builder of the universe—and where every man might enjoy life, liberty and the fullest pursuits of happiness in every way—regardless to nationality, creed or color. But should those salient, pure, Christian Pilgrims of the historic Mayflower come back to life and cast an eye over their beloved adopted country and see how far it has gone from the rules laid down by them and to witness in this country class against class—race against race—and to some—every vestige of God-given manhood rights blottted out—could they with pleasure praise the land of thir adopted nativity? These many labor troubles, these many combinations of wealth, these many exposes of corruption, these many shown abuses and these unpardonable, as well as inexcusable racial clashes all have their meaning—and thus it may be asked "what does all this mean?" Of all these elements of dissatisfaction—the most radical pronounced and grown is that of the issues between the races. On the one hand is seen the white man in his effort to find a suitable place for the Negro—and on the other hand we find the Negro growing in population, in education, in wealth and in ambition—and he is striving to convince the white man of his capability to seek and know his own place—and to ask only for those rights—those privileges and those liberties enjoyed by other citizens in a constitutionally free country. Is there to be a clash of races in America? Is there to be a clash of classes in our country- These are some of the questions which stand out badly and await some prophet to come forth and answer. The Negor is being subjected to untold iills and for the sake of his quiet and humble manner he is bearing them with reverential patience. Will the Negro—tho—continue to bear the yoke which with the close of each day he finds has been pressed closer and closer, tighter and tighter. These are questions which only time can and which time must answer. The Toussant Literary society held a rousing meeting at the Tabernacle Baptist church, Wednesday night to a crowded house. The society had for its honored guest Prof. J. S. Carson, who delivered a learned and eloquent address to them. The society highly appreciated the presence of Prof. Carson and invites him again. The following officers ewre elected: Edgar Duke, president; Miss Louis Wilson, vice-president; Miss Hazel Hurst, secretary; Mrs. Berry McBride, treasurer; Charles W. Price, reporter. The society also was pleased with the presence of Mr. C. C. Hickerson. The next meeting will be at the Second Baptist church. FOR MARSHAL CITY COURT. Colored Voters Announce the Name of W. H. Jones for That Place. At a recent meeting of a few representative colored men they have decided to ask the republican county convention which meets on April 28th, to nominate Mr. W. H. Jones for the office of Marshal of the City Court of Wichita Township. In deciding upon Mr. Jones they took into consideration the exemplary qualifications and well known ability of Mr. Jones as an officer of the law, and as a splendid, spotless gentleman. Mr. Jones is a heavy property owner and tax-payer in Sedgwick county and has been a resident of Sedgwick county for twenty-three years, except the time which he served as guard at the Kansas penitentiary, which position he filled with great credit to himself and satisfaction to his employers. If given this nomination Mr. Jones can be elected and if elected will make an ideal and satisfactory officer. The colored people in asking for Mr. Jones' nomination do so with no other motive than that they believe themselves entitled to one elective place on the republican ticket and that they place for the place chosen a man who stands well with both colored and white voters and a man well qualified for the place.

Everything new starts the idea of difficulty, and yet it is often mere novelty that exites the appearance, for on a slight examination of the proposal the difficulty vanishes. When we firmly believe a scheme to be practicable, the work is half accomplished. We are more frequently deterred by fear from making an attack, than repulsed in the encounter.—Noah Webster MOB MOCKS SUPREME COURT. Ed. Johnson Lynched After Federa Respite was Granted. Act Flagrantly in Contempt of National Government Likely to Result Disastrously for Mob Leaders. Chattanooga, Tenn.—An act outrageously in contempt of the United States Supreme Court was the lynching here of Ed Johnson, an Afro-American whose appeal for a stay of execution had been granted by the Supreme Court. Johnson was convicted of assault upon Miss Nevada Taylor, a white girl, daughter of the keeper of the Forest Hill cemetery. He was first sentenced to die on March 13. An appeal was taken to the State Supreme Court, which refused to grant a new trial. Then habeas corpus proceedings were instituted before United States Judge C. D. Clark, who dismissed the petition, and an appeal was taken before the United States Supreme Court, which granted an appeal and was preparing to set a date for the hearing. Had the court of last resort not interfered Johnson would have been legaly hanged this morning. He was taken from jail by a mob and hanged on a pier of the county bridge. The Supreme Court is not in session, having taken a recess until April 2, and what action it will take, if any, will probably not be known until then. The question of proceedings by the Federal Government against the leaders of the mob who lynched Johnson is being considered by the Department of Justice in Washington, but no conclusion has been reached. After the court yesterday granted Johnson's appeal, the clerk of the Supreme Court notified the sheriff of Hamilton county, in whose custody the prisoner was, and Judge McReynolds, who tried him, of its allowance, and directed the staying of the execution fixed for today and the retention of custody o the prisoner pending the hearing of the appeal. Their attention was also called to the law covering such cases, which provides that all proceedings in or under the order of the State courts shall be suspended in the meantime, and they were also directed to notify Attorney-General Whitaker of the State of Tennessee to the same effect. When the Afro-Americans learned early this morning that Ed Johnson had been lynched last night hundreds of them refused to go to work and there was a rush upon the hardware stores for firearms and ammunition. At noon all of the hardware stores were sold out of ammunition. The Afro-Americans congregated in large crowds, threatening to shoot white people and burn houses. At 2 o'clock the chief of police ordered all saloons closed and began putting on extra officers. The sheriff also began to swear in deputies and by night had secured and armed about 300. NOW UNITED VETERANS. President Joins Organization of Union and Confederate Soldiers. "The blending of the blue and the gray" lies very close to the President's heart, so close in fact, that he consented to become an honorary member of a Missouri camp of United Veterans, an organization composed of Union and Confederate soldiers. The resolutions creating the President a member of the organization were presented to him today by Senator Warner, of Missouri. The camp is located at Poplar Bluffs, and the action was taken on account of the President's attitude on his trip through the South last fall—Washington Post. Many, who have said that the Roosevelt who went through the South last fall, is not the same Roosevelt, the author of the "Door of Hope" and "Square Deal" doctrine, will read with considerable interest that the president has blended himself with "the gray." To us, it is not a matter of surprise. Every President we have had since the war has tried to blend "the blue and the gray;" if Mr. Roosevelt succeedes, he simply wins, where others have failed. But we do wish. our people would learn from this incident a race lesson. Everybody "blends," but the Negro. act from a Negro man, and he is bulleted to the world as a desperado. A white man can commit crime with cool deliberation, that would shock even Satan himself, and yet words of extenuation, insanity or drunkenness, or something, will be said to minimize the heinousness of his crime. Washington.—The Senate committee on finance, which has charge of the investigation of the charges preferred by Emma Brown against W. T. Vernon, the Kansas Negro whose name is up for confirmation as register of the treasury, has decided not to hold hearings on the matter, adn will reach a decision on the evidence already submitted. SETS THEM RIGHT. For the benefit of some people who subscribe for Negro papers we publish the following law which will do them good: NEWSPAPER LAWS. 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuation of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from postoffice to which they are directed they are held responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from postoffice or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers at the end of their time. If they do not wish to continue it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpapid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine. If those people who live in the vicinity of Mont Pelee find themselves chased again by another eruption, we fail to see what right they will have to expect outside help or sympathy. If they had any sense they would move away from that part of the country. The difficulties of translation are illustrated again by the story about a Japanese general who tried to say that Gen. Grant was "born to command." What he really did say was that Gen. Grant was "made to order." Our friend, Editor Graham, having confessed to being unable to distinguish between a cow and a jackass, tries to convict us of improprieties. Well, let it go at that. We do not care a continental whether he can tell a jackass from a guinea pig or not.-Hinton (W. Va.) Herald. An Ithaca woman has decided that as a descendant of Sir Francis Drake she will accept a fortune of $20,000; he is said to have left. Notions like this will crop out in families absolutely without any taint of insanity. NO.2 GOOD MEN AT TABLE HEARTY EATERS WERE THE FOLKS OF THE PAST. Records Show That Present Generation Compares Poorly With Its Ancestors—Thackeray's Description of an Old-Time Dinner. He was a florid man with a pleasing plumpness of person and possessing what Shakespeare calls "a fair round belly with good capon lined." He sat in a restaurant and discoursed of eating in this wise: "People are writing and preaching nowadays all the time about the danger of overeating. Why, bless my stars and garters! we do not begin to eat as our ancestors did. What are our puny little snacks of kickshaws compared with the Gargantuan feasts to which our greatgrandfathers—yes, and our grandfathers, too, for that matter—sat down? Their hearty breakfasts of meat, eggs, and often beer or ale to wash it down; their great midday dinners with roasts of all sorts in abundance and puddings and vegetables in profusion, and their suppers of cold meats, perhaps a chicken, cakes to beat the band and preserves and plies and things indigestible generally often topping off before they went to bed with a panful of apples and a pitcher of elder. Oh, they were eaters if you like! And between meals how they did pitch into cheese and doughnuts and anything else that came handy. "These were our grandfathers and some of our fathers. Going a little further back, see that 'curious document descriptive of manners in the last century, to which Thackeray alludes in his English humorists. Here is what seven of 'em ate at Lady Smart's dinner: A sirilon of beef, a fish and a tongue. Then came almond pudding, fritters, chickens, black pudding and soup. The third course consisted of a hot venison pastry or made pie, a hare, a rabbit, some pigeons, partridges, a goose and a ham. Then they topped off with cheese and drank during the meal claret, ale, brandy and tea. They sat at table four or five hours to get away with this meal and afterward drank port and played cards until 3 o'clock in the morning. "That was the way our great-grandfathers ate and their fathers before them ate, if they could afford it, and if they could not they made up in quantity what was lacking in variety and quality. Eat, why bless you, child, we modern men do not know what eating is. Perhaps, though, if our ancestors had done less eating and drinking we might be able to do more of it without the aid of dyspepsia tablets. Then, again, they did not know how to adulterate food in those golden days of gastronomy. However, I am a believer in hearty eating if a person can stand it. Ah, here comes my double sirloin steak with fried onions. Doesn't that smell nice?" Posthumous Honors for Suicides Posthumous Honors for Suicides. When the Japanese protectorate over Korea was declared recently many Koreans grumbled and some even went the length of committing suicide in order to mark their displeasure. According to the Korea Daily News the emperor has conferred posthumous honors upon several of these suicides. One of the misguided men, who poisoned himself with opium, was a minor official of the educational department, but the emperor raised him to the rank of vice minister of education, and an official of that department was dispatched by the emperor to inscribe the title upon his coffin. Another man, a private in the army, who committed suicide at the same time and for the same reasons, has also had posthumous promotion conferred upon him. Editor's Jail Substitute. Herr Heinisch, nominal editor of the Leipsic Volksblatt, who has just been sent to prison for twenty-one months because of the Volksblatt's attack on the Prussian electoral laws, did not write the articles. He is only registered as editor in order that he may go to jail on occasions like the present. Gold Cargo From India.

ALWAYS WITH THEM. We have proved that we are with the colored people when they are right, because they are right, and that we are with them when they are wrong to help them get right. But, its a mighty hard thing some times to keep some of them right. Yet we are with them just the same. Do right as often as you can, in as many places as you can, for as many people as you can and as long as you can. THE WICH TASEARCHLIGHT THE SPRING ELECTION. Next Tuesday, April 3rd, is election day. To the average man it does not seem that an election in Wichita is so near at hand, so disinterested does everyone seem to regard the matter. As a fact, the present election is the tameest, less enthused, and at the same time most interesting, especially to the colored people, of any which has been held in many a day, yet little is said and almost no interest is being manifested. The issue seems to be centered on the School Board members, and the colored people have been handicapped and every candidate on every ticket has signalled his stand for separate schools, and so completely are the colored people handicapped that it matters not for whom they vote for member of the school board—he is on the same platform. Therefore, early in the campaign we dropped this issue and now leave the colored voters to suit their own fancy, after having given them the facts. Not only this have we done, but two years ago before this matter got again, last October, we heard something of this movement and went in consultation with some of our colored friends that the cause might be removed, but as is the failing with the race, no heed was paid with the result today that it seems almost inevitable that the colored people must accept what they do not want. On the question of Councilman is another proposition in the respective wards the republicans have chosen very good, business-like men to submit to the voters for their suffrage and each of these gentlemen ought to be elected by handsome majorities. CITY ATTORNEY Geo. W. Adams, republican can dilate for City Attorney, should receive the vote of every republi can in Wichita for the office for which he has been named. Mr. Adams is conceded to be one of the foremost lawyers at the Sedg wick county bar and with Adams as City Attorney, the legal affairs of the city will be looked after in a proper manner. When you go to the polls vote for Geo. W. Adams for City Attorney. COUNCILMEN FIRST WARD—In this ward the party presents the name of Geo. H. Bradford, a bridge contractor, and a man well qualified to make a most excellent councilman, and a man whose interests are linked and tied with those of the tax-payers of our city, and a man who as a member of the city council will be a valuable addition to that body. Mr. Bradford's long experience in business and as a property holder and citizen of Wichita at once splendidly fits him for the place. His election is an assured fact, the only question is one of a big, rousing majority. SECOND WARD—The republican party in the Second ward presents the name of Chas, M. Ayler, a railway engineer on the Missouri Pacific—suffice it to say that Mr. Ayler will fill his post with due credit when elected—which he will be on Tuesday. THIRD WARD—When a man desires to have a house built he gets a good carpenter to do the work and by so doing he saves material and money too. This is what the people in the Third ward have done—they desired the interests of their ward built up in the council so they have selected a good, sober, industrious and well qualified man, Fred G. McCune to do the work. Mr. Cune is a contractor and builder and building up is no new thing to him, for he rather prides himself in this capacity, and when he is elected to the council Tuesday the people of Wichita and the Third ward in particular will be treated to an era of success in building a town to prosperity. Vote for Fred G. McCune. FOURTH WARD—The people of this ward expressed their approval of the work of Wm. Paugh during the past two years and so have renominated him to succeed himself. Mr. Paugh is a splendid gentleman and when he is re-elected will continue to do his whole duty in the council as he has done in the past. FIFTH WARD—The Fifth ward has re-nominated Mr. J. C. Dunn. SIXTH WARD—The republican candidate in this ward is I. C. Conners. Geo. W. Adams for City Attorney is the man. Vote for him. The colored Masons of this city are getting up a new class for the Chapter and Commandery degrees. Many are taking hold of this opportunity. Why not call and pay what you owe the Searchlight? We are doing our duty—why not do yours. FOR SALE. I offer all of my household furniture for sale at private sales at my residence, 355 North Market. For bargains call. Mrs. Richard Heck, 355 N. Market. F. P. Bateman arrived in the city Monday from his farm near Tryon, Iowa. Mr. Bateman has a fine farm up in that country and is making many improvements thereon. He will remain in Wichita about a month when he will return to plant his crop. He reports his wife in good health and that they both like their new location. Many Wichita families expect to move to the Creek nation this spring and go to farming. This is a good idea—there can not be too many colored farmers. Fred G. McCune will be elected Councilman from the Third ward Tuesday. John E. Lewis has the contract of laying carpets for the Rorabaugh Dry Goods Co. Rev. Joseph Wilson Jr., of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the famous singing evangelists of our country will fill the pulpit for one week at New Hope Baptist church, commencing Sunday, April 1st. He has a wide reputation as an evangelist. Go down and hear him. Mrs. Lizzie Madison, who has been very sick, is able to be up again. Richard Heck left Tuesday night for Seattle, Wash., where he expects to make his future home. His wife and family will follow him in the near future. His many friends wish him unbounded success in his new home and recommend him highly to all with whom he may come in contact. Richard is all right. What is the matter with the matrimonial market among the colored folks? It has been so long since Wichita had a wedding amongst the colored folks it seems like a dream. You had better hurry! The W. T. Vernon J. S. club met with Mrs. Frazier Monday night. After two hour's needle work, the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Orr next Monday night at her home, 13th and Moseley. This is the base ball season, close at hand. Now for games all round. Rev. J. H. Van Leu came in Thursday and spent a day with his family and friends. Phillip Payne has sold his home in Wichita and will move with his family to the Creek Nation where he will go on a farm. His many friends wish him unbounded success. Talk about a good, clean man—Geo. H. Bradford, republican candidate for Councilman from the First ward fills the bill. He'll be elected too. FORMER WICHITAN DEAD. W. H. A. Clark is in receipt of a letter from Giles Anderson, of San Francisco, Cal., stating the death of Mr. Anderson's father, Louis Anderson, who died in San Francisco on March 19th, and was buried on March 23. Louis Anderson was a former resident of Wichita and made this city his home for many years before moving to California, and there are many Wichitans who will readily remember him. The cause of death was dropsy. The many friends of the deceased extend their most sincere sympathy to the bereaved family. SEARCHLIGHT only $1. Per Year. Are You A Subscriber?

Nineteen players will try for positions on the team and they reported for trial March 27. "We will have the fastest ball team of its size in the city," said Manager Clark this week. "I have secured games for the season with Wellington, Arkansas City, Winfield and Newton. The club has a basket ball and track team also, and it is the intention of the club to give a grand ball and reception on its team in the near future." CHALLENGE—The Y. S. A.

However, Mansfield may be serious about it. You remember that other actor, Jim Jeffries, retired when he said he would. America sent 722,000,000 cigarettes to China last year. At this rate the low peril will soon be on the other not, so to speak. France's new president began life as a blacksmith, but he did not com- mence to rise until he had stopped sensing his hammer. When you can tell yourself to forget your troubles as you tell your neighbor to forget hers, you will have made a great discovery. Running down the populace in an automobile appears to a much more serious offense in Italy than in some places you might mention. A New York contemporary writes several stickfuls for Gotham manners. The chapter on snakes in Ireland required but half a line. Richard Mansfield's announcement that he is going to retire in 1909 is a reminder that comparatively few people think more than a year ahead. A Connecticut woman died at the age of 105, and there is still an older woman in that state. They got their start before the age of food adulterants. Many Russian liberals have no confidence in the douma. They fear that the carr will have no difficulty in making it turn handsprings and loop the loop. If Mansfield and Bernhardt do act together in her theater in Paris, we'd like to wager a small sum that the best play of the engagement will be "The Tempest." The Medical Record has an interesting article on "The Modern Conception of Matter," but it doesn't help the layman to find eat what is the matter with him. The ruling passion is strong in the richest woman in the world, Mrs. Walker of Philadelphia, who is going to live over a store. No bargains will get away from her. Dueling is a great thing. After a man's wife is stolen, it must soothe his feelings considerably to have a few inches of steel run between his ribs by the abductor. The Japanese appear to be of the opinion that by taking thought, accompanying it with suitable diet, they may be able in process of time to add something to their stature. An amateur scientific sharp suggests that maybe the stars cause the earthquakes. This idea is certainly more plausible than the theory that the earthquakes cause the stars. If we had a grudge at a nervous man we should invigile him to some spot where he had to see a woman sit in a rocking chair, and rock, and chew gum, while she did embroidery work. The courts at Dresden have awarded Mune, Schumann-Heink the fortune of her late husband on the ground that it was earned by her. There is nothing violent about that kind of reasoning. Pat Crowe says his conscience was all that restrained him from stealing $10,000,000, and that would probably not have restrained him such an awful lot if he had known where there was $10,000,000 lying around loose. One of the New York papers says that Queen Margherita of Italy expects to stop a week in New York before beginning her automobile journey. And yet nobody has ever stopped a week since Joshua stopped the sun. Now they are discussing the question whether or not married men are the best jurors in a murder trial where the defendant is a girl. There's one advantage in having married men serving on the jury. Their wives know where they are. GET RID OF THE GAS GET RID OF THE GAS Dr. William's Pink Pills Strengthen the Stomach and Enable It to Do Its Work. When the stomach is feeble the food lies in it undigested, decays and throws off poisonous gases that distend the walls of the stomach and cause interference with other organs, especially with the action of the heart and lungs. These gases have other ill effects. The nerves and the brain are disturbed and discomforts such as dizziness, hot flashes, sleeplessness, irritability and despondency originate from this source. Experience shows that these troubles vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to digest the food. In other words, it needs a tonic that will rouse it to do the work of changing the food into nourishment. Miss Minerva C. Ladd, of Ipswich, Mass., says: "I had a weak stomach from the time I was a little child. Whenever I took hearty food it would cause terrible faintness, and I would finally vomit what I had eaten. At times there would be the most intense pains through the upper part of my body. For days in succession, I would have to lie down most of the time. The distress was often so great that I could hardly bear it, and the frequent and violent belching spells were very disagreeable, too. "My doctor's medicines gave me little relief and it was not until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I found a cure. Within three weeks a decided improvement was noticeable. The belching spells were less frequent, the pains through my body were not so intense, my food was retained and after taking the pills for a few weeks longer I found that I was altogether free from the miseries I had so long suffered."

Every facility is being provided for in the way of stopovers and other conveniences, and the tourist movement to the Pacific coast, for the coming season promises to show an increase of many thousand people over that of any season ever known. More Big Ships. The slip from which the Dreadnaught, 18,000 tons, was launched at Portsmouth the other day was extended so as to hold ships up to 520 feet in length. Now it is being again enlarged up to no less than 700 feet, and people are wondering of how many tons the next battleship built in it is to be. WILHELMINA WHEN A CHILD. An Amusing Story Told of the Queen Years Ago. An amusing story is told of Queen Wilhelmina when she was quite a little child. Her majesty was not allowed to share dinner with the elder members of the royal household, but was permitted to make her appearance at dessert and place herself beside some particular favorite. One day she sat by a courtly old general, and after eating some fruit the little girl turned and gazed at him. Presently she exclaimed: "I wonder you're not afraid to sit next to me." Everybody in the room turned at the sound of her childish treble. "On the contrary, I am but too pleased and honored to sit next to my little queen," replied the old general. "But why should I be afraid?" Assuming a woebegone expression, the little queen replied: "Because all my dolls have the measles; they're all of them down with it!" FOOD HELPS. Speaking of food, a railroad man says: "My work puts me out in all kinds of weather, subject to irregular hours for meals and compelled to eat all kinds of food. "For 7 years I was constantly troubled with indigestion, caused by eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly cooked food, such as are the most accessible to men in my business. Generally each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sensations in my stomach, which destroyed my sleep and almost unltted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggy that it was hard for me to discharge my duties properly. "This lasted till about a year ago, when my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad, and I concluded to try it. Since then I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal, and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food in our cabooses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty handy, for it is ready cooked. "To make a long story short, Grape-Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no more burning distress in my stomach, nor any other symptom of indigestion. I can digest anything so long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my brain works as clearly and accurately as an engineer's watch, and my old nervous troubles have disappeared entirely."

Decision by the Supreme Court of the State, Against the Ladies' Home A verdict has been rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit brought against the Ladies' Home Journal (published by the Curtis Publishing Co.) by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of which Dr. R. V. Pierce is president. The suit was brought by Doctor Pierce against the Curtis Publishing Co. for making false statements about one of his standard family medicines known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. In the May number of the Ladies' Home Journal (1904), Mr. Edward Bok, the editor, stated that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription contained alcohol and some other harmful ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had in the action alleged that the defendant maliciously published this article containing such false and defamatory matter. Dr. Pierce further claimed that no alcohol is or ever was contained in his "Favorite Prescription," that said medicine was a vegetable preparation and contained no deleterious ingredients whatever; that Mr. Bok's statement, pretending to give some of the ingredients of said medicine, was wholly and absolutely false. During the trial, the Vice-President of the World's Dispensary Medical Association stated, that the ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription were extracted from the following native roots: Golden Seal, Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh and Unicorn, by means of pure glycerine. He was asked how he knew, as a physician and experienced medical man, that the "Favorite Prescription" was a cure for the diseases peculiar to women, such as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, antenversion retro-version, and he stated that he knew such was the fact because of his professional experience and the many thousands of women whose ills had been cured by this "Prescription." The Vice-President, being asked to give his authorities, read from the standard works, such as the United States Dispensatory, The American Dispensatory and many other standard medical books. The retraction printed by the Curtis Publishing Company two months after the libelous statement appeared and nearly two months after the suit had been begun stated definitely that analyses had been made at their request and that the "Favorite Prescription" did not contain either alcohol, opium or digitalis.

Then he sleeps from a quarter to half an hour. Tea is similar to breakfast, with the occasional addition of a few mushrooms. For supper he takes invariably a plate of rice and milk. Suez Canal.

Details of Cattleship Left to the De...partment of Navy — Favor Recom...mendation by Secretary of 19,400 Tons Displacement. Washington, March 29—The house committee on naval affairs decided to report a building program for new ships in the navy as follows: "One battleship to cost, exclusive of armor and armament, $6,000,000; the ship to be of the largest type, the tonnage to be determined by the secretary of the navy; three torpedo boat destroyers to cost $750,000 each and $1,000,000 to be expended by the secretary of the navy for submarine boats at his discretion. The navy bill will carry a total of $99,750,000. The current law aggregates $103,000,000. The committee placed an item of $100,000 in the bill for the repair of the old ship Constitution. The construction of a dry-dock at Bremerton, Puget Sound, was authorized, with an appropriation of $100,000 to begin the work. The total cost of the dock is estimated at $250,000. A floating steel dock for the Atlantic Coast was also authorized and $200,000 appropriated to begin construction. The cost of this dock is estimated $1400,000. In reaching its decision regarding the size of the proposed new battle-ship the committee favored the recommendation recently made by the secretary of the navy that the ship be of 19,400 tons displacement. This recommendation, however, was not incorporated in the bill, the matter being left with the secretary. At the suggestion of Representative Cousins of Iowa, private ship building firms are to be asked to submit plans for the new ships to be used in connection with the plans of naval constructors, in determining the features to be incorporated in the structure. The idea of the committee is to have the largest ship constructed. GERMANY'S GROWING NAVY. Berlin, March 29.—During the debate on the naval bill, in the reichstag Herr Spashn the central party leader, supported the government. He said Germany had to reckon on the fleets of France and Great Britain being arrayed against Germany's increasing fleet. Baron Von Richthofen, conservative, said it was impossible to have a colonial policy unless supported by a fleet, Admiral Von Tirpitz said he believed the naval program would only make the German fleet equal to that of France. All the political parties except the socialists expressed themselves in favor of the bill. IMMEDIATE FUTURE LOOKS VERY DARK FOR RUSSIA St. Petersburg, March 29.—Despite the government's assurance that another extensive outbreak in the immediate future is impossible, the clouds are lowering and there are other indications that a big storm may break before parliament can meet. The resentment against the terrible repressive measures of the government is arousing the people, especially the workmen in the cities, to fury. This is playing into the hands of the revolutionists, who are planning a strike and a general uprising. They believe that the right moment will come in mid-April and both sides are preparing for the fray. If it comes is likely to be bloodier and more terrible than anything previously witnessed in this country. The records of arrests in St. Petersburg, besides showing an awful state of lawlessness in the capital, is eloquent testimony of the methods by which the government hopes to prevent the threatened explosion. According to the returns, 659 beggars, 215 persons without passports, 217 thieves, 270 highwaymen and 1,067 "unclassified," which means political suspects, were taken into custody. At no time during the war was the war office more busy than now, making dispositions to suppress the first evidence of rebellion. Machine guns and ammunition are being dispatched in every direction, troops are being shifted and concentrated at strategic points, armored trains are being stationed at railroad centers, and iron-clad automobiles are being sent to the larger cities for use in street riots.

A great many Americans, both men and women, are thin, pale and puny, with poor circulation, because they have ill-treated their stomachs by hasty eating or too much eating, by consuming alcoholic beverages or coffee or factory, and in consequence the stomach must be treated in a natural way before they can rectify their earlier mistakes. The muscles in many such people, in fact in every weary, thin and thin-blooded person, do their work with great difficulty and in extreme and lasts long. The demand for nutritive aid is ahead of the supply. To insure perfect health every tissue, bone, nerve and muscle should take from the blood certain materials and return to it certain others. It is necessary to prepare the stomach and what is necessary to make good, red, rich blood. We must go to Naure for the remedy. There were certain roots known to the Indians of this country before the advent of the whites which later came to the knowledge of the settlers and which are now prepared to cultivate stomach and liver troubles. These are found to be safe and yet certain in their cleansing and invigorating effect upon the stomach, liver and blood. These are: Golden Seal root, Queen's root, Stone root, Queen's root, Root in Black Cherryhark. The medicinal plants residing in these native roots when extracted with glycerine as a solvent make the most reliable and efficient stomach tonic and liver invigorator, when combined in just the right proportions, in just the proper medical use. Where there is an essential deficiency — such as nervous exhaustion, bad nutrition — and thin blood, the body acquires vigor and the nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the favorable effect of this sovereign remedy. Although some physicians have been aware of the high medicinal value of above mentioned medicine as a solvent and usually the doctors' prescriptions called for the ingredients in varying amounts, with alcohol. The "Golden Medical Discovery" is a scientific preparation compounded of the various extracts of the above mentioned vegetable ingredients and contains no alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.

When the damaged engines have been repaired and others which have been ordered have arrived fourteen trains are to run both ways, six of which will be used for military purposes. A similar service will be established on the Transbaikal line. There were 900,000 men to be brought back. Of these 400,000 had already left on January 14, and there were thus still 500,000 to be repatriated. The evacuation is expected to be completed by the beginning of June. Free Translation. Ex-Speaker Keifer, of Ohio, in making a speech in the house of representatives the other day remarked that the leaders, Republican and Democratic, and their followers have adopted the principle of the legal maxim, de minimis non curat lex—the law pays no attention to small things. A Western judge gave a free translation to that maxim and said that it meant: "The law goes with head and tail up." DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA. Brushed Scales From. Face Like Powder—Under Physicians Grew Worse—Cuticura Works Wonders. "I suffered with eczema six months. I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on me without touching eczema. My face was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I want everybody far and wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Camden, N. J., April 25, 1905." Most people are patient when there is nothing at stake. For Your Liver JURY PAID THE FINE. The Offense Was Assault With Intent to Murder. A Texas correspondent tells Law Notes how an obstinate juryman was circumvented by his fellow judges of the facts. The offense charged was assault with intent to murder. After the jury had been out two hours they returned the following verdict: "We the jury, find the defendant guilty of aggravated assault, and assess his punishment at $25 fine, and herewith pay the fine." On inquiry as to the meaning of the last clause of the verdict, it came out that the defendant was not guilty, but the twelfth doggedly hung out for a conviction for aggravated assault, and would not consent to a punishment less than a fine of $25. Finding it a hopeless task to bring over the obstinate one to their way of thinking, the eleven finally decided to agree with him, and "chipped in" enough to pay the fine. Lion Jumped on His Back. Near Nairobi, Central Africa's new aristocratic resort, a lion jumped out from the brush upon the back of the Marquis of Waterford the other day, and he would have been killed but for two native bearers, who came to his rescue and killed the lion, after receiving a severe mauling themselves. Lady Waterford saw the fight, but did not fire for fear she would do more harm than good. The Czar in Seclusion. One who knows him intimately declares that the czar is essentially a home bird. He has absolutely no liking for the pomp and ceremony of a court, and would, if circumstances permitted, abdicate with the greatest willingness. Beyond the members of his family circle he has no close companions. King's Sporting Record. Few people are aware that there are hardly any wild beasts which come within the sportsman's category that have not fallen to King Edward's rifle. But he has never shot a hyena, though, when in Egypt, many years ago, he remained up all night on more than one occasion to kill a specimen. To Cure Red Noses. In an Indian newspaper appeared an advertisement: "How to Cure Red Noses permanently; absolute sooecy; send 2s 8d and stamped envelope."

The "change of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness, inquitude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant before her decease, and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely given to sick women. Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I had been suffering with displacement of the organs for years and was passing through the change of life.

It has conquered pain, restored health, and prolonged life in cases that utterly battled physicians.

Any people who look lightly on morality or do not demand, one of the other, the very highest moral attainments and moral standards, is sooner or later doomed to be relegated to the rear. It is not the duty of a people to seek a moral for its leader, but it is their duty to demand of him that high moral standing which is conducive to the welfare of the general people and until he has produced such standard it is their duty to stand aloof, and seek some other. Too often the people mistake self-laudation for moral standing and in the end such people are always the ones who get the bitter pill. Self-pomp, self-praise, self-laudation, has never yet been able to fill the place of true, unadulterated morality, and never will. Fine clothes, an arrogant manner, selfish interests, and know-it-alls, made poor, very poor leaders, especially for those being led. The people will some day learn to seek the morals and not the fine clothes or the man, and this is gospel truth. Why need a people keep themselves in continual hot water, continual confusion, continual fussing, continual fighting and scrapping among themselves simply to seek the lost morals of some individual? It is not the duty of the people to seek a moral for their leaders, but to set a standard and seek only for a leader who can and does measure up to the standard as set. This is right. The day will come when the people will refuse to longer worship types and shadows, but will reverence only those who possess the true and unadulterated moral standard which is a growing influence among any people. NORTH TOPEKA, KAN. The White Rose club met with Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Wims, 118 N. Jackson street, Thursday evening. After the routine of business a delicious lunch was served. All had an enjoyable time and a delightful evening was spent. All returned home reporting a nice time. The Getic club No. 3 met with Mrs. Ida M. Jordan, 903 N. Western avenue, last Tuesday evening. After routine of business a luncheon was served. Everyone was delightfully entertained by Mrs. Ida M. Jordan. The Golden Rod club of St. Mark A. M. E. church has changed the name of their club to the White Rose by requests of friends of Mrs. Ida M. Jordan. The name was changed to White Rose club as there was another Golden Rod club in South Topeka, the Art club for young people. This is why the name was changed. The Rosebud club is progressing financially for the rally. All of the five clubs seem to be progressing nicely financially. Macedonia Tabernacle No. 93 is progressing nicely under the supervision of their leader, Ida M. Jordan, High Priestess. The colored people from the pulpit down, must learn to emulate the good example of the white man. No matter what may be the misunderstandings or differences between white men, when it comes to spend his money he will walk blocks out of his way to spend it with a white man. But, we are sorry to say, the colored man will not even give his race his patroage when he does not have to walk an inch out of the way. On the other hand, too many colored men seek an oppor- tunity to cry down their own enterprises and spend their money building up the other fellow. LEARN PRINTER'S TRADE.

Kernan & Co., 1102 E. Douglas Pone 355 COLORED MAN A CANDIDATE. The colored voters of Wichita have decided to draft W. W. H. Jones as the candidate whom they will ask their white co-workers in the Republican party of Sedgwick county to honor with the nomination as marshal of the city court. Mr. Jones is a clean, straight forward, honest gentleman—and one who stands well at home and abroad, and, beyond question if given this nomination, and the party support will be elected and would fill the office with credit. Although Mr. Jones has been a resident of Sedgwick county for twenty-three years, yet he has never asked for nor has he ever held any office in the county, and he is not a candidate now of his own volition, but he has been pressed into service by the colored voters who have taken up his name and will ask that he be named. People who spend all that they make are on the regular county road to the poor house, although by the intervention of friends, they may never reach there.—Richmond, (V.) Planet. F. E. CLARK, D. P. A. VIA THE DISCOVERY OF A GENIUS BY ARTHUR HAMILTON (Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) The man had genius, the woman had ized the hopelessness of his passion hone. How was he, who could scarcely kee He lived in a cheap boarding house and kept soul and body together by doing the work of a literary hack. Sometimes he did little desultory tasks for newspapers, but never succeeded in connecting himself with a pay roll. Once he had been given a commission to write a little skit for a vaudeville stunt, and this was his undoing—if so sorry a failure could be undone. In working it up he had found it necessary to familiarize himself with the technique of playwriting and it fascinated him. Then the stunt was a decided success and the man who wrote it not only realized more money from it than he had from any other literary effort in his life, but also saw the possibilities of dramatic expression both in an artistic and a financial sense. And so he came to be a slave of the playwright's itch. And he wrote and wrote and wrote and starved and pinched and still wrote. But his skits were not accepted and his plays were returned by the managers and their readers. He became more seedy and more gaunt and more impossible—finally he became unconsciously hopeless. But he worked on because he was the slave of Genius and was compelled to follow the law of his being. She was the child of love and hope Her mother was the wife of Hinckley, the shoemaker around the corner, the most patient, industrious and hopeless of the relics of a bygone time before machinery had deprived good mechan- ies of their kingdom. Perhaps Hinckley was her father. Most people be- lieved not. There were rumors of a gallant stranger who had sojourned for a short time in the neighborhood and looked with glowing eyes upon the shoemaker's wife. And she, who never had had her romance, had it then, so the gossips whispered. And the handsome stranger faded away into the realm of dreams and after a time a daughter was born to the shoemaker's wife. The daughter was so different from the shoemaker and his pretty wife that more than one doubt was whispered as to her pater- nity. But the shoemaker never doubt- ed and she grew up as Nora Hinckley the angle of his eye. the apples of her splendid beauty—a beauty enhanced and chastened by the very essence of optomism—she crossed the path of the struggling playwright. Some deep chord in her nature drew her to him as the needle to the north. She was an occasional helper for Mrs. Simpson, who kept the cheap boarding house where he lived. She entered his life as a ray of sunshine. At the lowest ebb of his fortune she brought warmth and hope and cheer. She laughed at the hopeless clouds which overhung, and she believed in him and his aspirations. Recognizing a sympathetic spirit his starved nature unfolded under the warmth of her appreciation, and he discovered to her depths and M. M. The man had genius. shoals and angles which other persons ever had seen or suspected. As she beheld these revelations a great awe and a great love entered her heart and soul. She saw his great and heroic soul naked and free from the sordid limitations of his life, and she bowed down and worshiped with the devotion given only to women of her type. And under the spell of her appreciation and understanding, the shackles dropped away from him and his genius held full sway. All this involved many weary months and when he realized fully the great love he bore the blithesome lass, the great joy of the discovery turned at once into sharpest pain as he real- ized the hopelessness of his passion. How was he, who could scarcely keep his own body and soul together, hope to care for another and to assume the responsibilities of a family? But she never despaired. For her always was the golden day in sight when his genius would be recognized and their dreams be realized. * * * One day the world was startled with a new and great play. It was a drama which touched all the chords of human nature and inspired laughter and tears alike. It lifted every auditor A The woman had hope. to the heights of ideality and carried him to the depths of human woe. There was no false note and all the world paused to pay tribute to the perfection of the piece. And up and down the land the critics asked, "Who is it that has done this thing?" and there was no answer. For the play was produced under a nom de plume, and the cleverest work of the newspapers failed to disclose the real identity of the author. After the play had been a success for many months and had brought a great harvest of shekels to manager and playwright, a fire occurred in a great office building wherein the manager who produced the play had his offices. A reporter hurrying to the fire was enveloped in a cloud of smoke and cinders and after catching his breath found a charred piece of paper blown across his face. Glancing at it he saw that it was a contract and upon further investigation it proved to be the veritable contract between the author of "Love's Last Surrender" and the manager who purchased it. The controversy as to the authorship of the play had been waging so fiercely that the reporter recognized instantly the value of the information he had. He went on with his fire story and on the following day sought out the man whose name was on the priceless contract the gods had sent into his hands. He found him—a thin, hollow-cheeked man with eyes in which burned a fire almost uncanny in its intensity. He was ill dressed and bore none of the marks of the successful author. "What was the inspiration of this great work?" asked the reporter. "Come with me," replied the man. Following him silently the reporter went with the man by trolley car and walk until they reached the great cemetery by the flowing river. The great author paused beside a grave surmounted by a simple shaft but heaped high with priceless roses. "The inspiration lies here," said he solemnly. "The play is the very essence of the life and love and devotion of the marvelous woman who lies beneath this mound. It is the warp and woof of her heart-throbs and mine. That is why I have never let my authorship be known—I would not profane her love and mine. You, sir, have discovered the secret. You have it in your power to do this act of desecration. Do it, sir, if your conscience will allow. I cannot prevent it—but I forbid it in the name of every holy and generous instinct." He turned abruptly and went away. "Well, did you get the story?" demanded the city editor eagerly as Holmes entered the office. "No," replied Holmes soberly, tearing a piece of paper into bits and throwing the bits on the floor. "Nothing in it; false alarm." "Well, of all fools," remarked the city editor in disgust, "and you've wasted a whole afternoon. Get busy on that Hill graft case. Keep it in two columns." Holmes occasionally meets on the street a grave and solemn gentleman who modestly picks his way among the jostling crowd. And Holmes always lifts his hat when he meets him. And the grave and solemn gentleman always lifts his hat to Holmes. PHYSICIANS KNEW EACH OTHER "Good Thing" to Be Allowed to Remain Undisturbed. "Listeners," said H. Clay Pierce, the oil magnate, in New York, "seldom hear good of themselves. This is especially true if the listeners happen to be rich. "There was a rich old lady in St. Louis who had been ailing a long time. She liked and trusted her physician, but, becoming alarmed finally, she asked him to call in a famous specialist for consultation. "The specialist came. He charged $500. He examined the rich old lady carefully and gently. Then he went downstairs to partake with the family doctor of a sumptuous luncheon that the patient had provided. "Now the patient, a brave woman, wishing not to be deceived about her health, wishing to know the worst at all costs, induced her maid to hide in a closet in the dining room so as to overhear and report to her the physicians' discussion of her ailments. "The maid's report was that during the luncheon the specialist and the family doctor had talked of nothing but the Panama canal. Finally, draining his last glass of champagne, the specialist said as he looked at his watch: "But I must be off. My train goes in twenty minutes." "Then the family doctor said: "But how about the old woman upstairs? You must remember she is a good source of income to me." "In that case,' said the specialist, as he slipped on his overcoat, 'I won't interfere. The present treatment is an excellent protracting one.' Discount for Shortage. A couple evidently from an exceedingly rural district recently presented themselves at the home of a Buffalo minister and announced that they wished to be married. The would-be bride was of a homeliness to cause one less pity for the blind, but the groom seemed satisfied, and as they possessed the necessary license the minister proceeded to perform the ceremony. "How much dew that come to, parson?" the man inquired, bringing a handful of silver change from a deep trousers pocket. "Name yer regular figger that you charge th' swells. I'm a-goin' th' limit, by jinks." "Oh, I have no regular charge," the minister said; "just give me what you think it is worth." The groom turned and eyed the bride in a speculative manner. "She's a good gal, ef she ain't much on looks," he said, thoughtfully, "an I'll be gosh derned if she ain't wuth a dollar an' forty-five cents!" He was about to hand over the silver, when the lady caught his arm, and deducted the five cent piece from the sum. "Wait, Si," she said. "Take back this nickel; you don't know it, but when I was a child I chopped off two toes with th' hatchet."—Harper's Weekly. The Barley. The grain stands bonny where the cliffs are sheer And the blue North sea is sleeping; The stocks are yellow in a golden ear With their shadows inward creeping The tide lies silent on the sands below And the autumn past bangle angent To fall in bed over the distant row Of the long red roofs beyond the barley. O late last harvest-time, when days were long Worked men and maids by the steering; And gulls sailed landward in a screaming throng. To play pastures heading. Soft was the foostep that beside me trod In the dew of morning early. For Love walked there beneath the smile and And the high blue sky above the barley. The stalks fall mellow to the sweeping blade With their weeds laid beside them. And eyes meet stealthily as lad and maid Glance over where the stocks divide them. But mine turn ever while I work alone Through the banyard lay in a cavity. To the mound lying by a standing stone Where the wall shuts out the barley— Where the Nether Kirk is gray Janet. By the long blue sea beyond the barley. —Violet Jacob, in the Outlook. Why He Liked Venice. Marion Crawford gave recently a dinner in Rome and during the dinner the talk turned to Venice. “There is a young lady from Duluth,” Mr Crawford said, “whom I met one bright October morning in Sorrento. She told me that she was touring Italy with her father. She said her father had liked all the Italian cities, but especially he had liked Venice. “Ah, Venice, to be sure,’ said I. I can readily understand that your father would prefer Venice, with its gondolas and St. Mark's and Michael Angelo's—’ “Oh, no,’ said the young lady, ‘it wasn't that. But he could sit in the hotel, you know, and fish out of the window.’” Her Perguisites. E. Z. Gross, the mayor of Harrisburg, Pa., was condemning the fees and unfair perquisites which swell unduly the salaries of many unimportant office holders. "Fees and perquisites," he said, "tend to cause unjust dealings. Even in the kitchen that is so. "A butcher told me the other day that a young woman, the cook in a prominent family hereabouts, came into his shop and said: "Gimme a fine large roast o' beef with plenty o' bones." "Plenty of bones?" said the butcher in amazement. "Yes.' answered the young woman. 'Bones is my perquisite.'" ```markdown ``` Fashion Details That Need Attention. Now that the princess gown, the girdle effect and the empire coats and dresses are in style, it is absolutely essential that great care should be given to the fit of the corset and the cut and fit of the underwear. If the latter wrinkles or is badly shaped the effect of the gown is hopelessly marred, since smoothness and perfection of fit constitute the principal attractions of the mode. Even the sheer gowns are in the princess effect, only in these instances the goods is usually shirred from just below the bust line well over the hips; in this way the goods are held in place more firmly and effectively. Some of the sheer French gowns, made of very inexpensive dimities, by the way, were fashioned after this style and were very pretty for slender girls and young women. The organdies, dimities, Swisses and other wash fabrics are appearing in pretty frocks suitable for women and girls. For the latter the styles selected should be very simple, as too much ornamentation and trimming is unsuitable for schoolgirl's frocks. New Idea in Kimonos. Kimonos have come out in still another form—one without a yoke, even without the shirring which, in so many, has taken the place of a yoke. Six or eight half-inch tucks run down three or four inches from the neck in back, and give it the desired spring, and instead of bands running around the neck and down the fronts in time-honored kimono fashion, a collar shapes itself into wide reverie-like points which run out over the sleeves. The bands edge collar and front in a way that is as charming as it is different. The insertion of lace medallions has been carried almost into an art. Crescent-shaped bits may be set tip and tip and made to follow the outline of yoke or flounce; or those same bits joined to make a circle—a great medallion in itself—about a tucked piece of stuff. Or they may alternate—one turn up, the other down. For Sachet Bags. The blending of perfumes will be found delightful for sachet bags. The two odors that mix most perfectly are violet and heliotrope and the addition of a little sandalwood to these will produce an exquisite odor that will baffle those who smell it as to the identity. White rose and heliotrope blend very sweetly, and lilac and violet make a dainty combination. A little sandalwood or orris root added to almost any combination of odors will increase the pungency and make the result more lasting. Carnations is a delightful and spicy odor in itself, but the addition of white rose makes it sweeter and a little dainter. A number of odors combined in various ways and scattered through one's effects in tiny sachet bags/envelopes will produce an odor that is altogether fascinating, delicate and difficult of detection. Girls' Dress of Checked Wool The bell-shaped skirt is trimmed with a shaped ruffle of the material ornamented on each side of the front with buttons. The blouse is made with groups of plaits and trimmed with braid which also forms loops fastened with buttons. The turnover collar, the stand- A ing collar and the cuffs are ornamented with embroidery. The girdle is of velvet. New Blouses. Practically all the new blouses fasten in the back and have short or three-quarter sleeves. There is a fancy for let-in pieces of lace and irregular motives of embroidery figures upon lace. Unless blouses match a skirt they must be white. Later in the season, when women don their spring suits, the white blouse will take precedence over every other sort. It is so dainty and charming an article of dress and so very useful that a woman cannot have too many of them. Great care is taken to fit the shoulder seams properly and also the underarm seams. The back is just loose enough to avoid the strain of pulling if fastened down to the skirt, and in the front there is no suggestion of blowing save the least bit of sag at the waist line. The shoulder seams no longer drop off the shoulder in awkward fashion. The broad-shouldered effect is given to those not possessing it naturally, by full sleeves gathered into the armhole so that they stand out, but, nevertheless, many of the blouses show quite scant sleeves. Velvet Waist. Blouse of olive-green velvet trimmed with shaped bands of the same and ornamented with antique buttons. It simulates a bolero over a blouse of lace and is finished around the neck with an edge of light blue taffetta over a chemisette of lace like the blouse. The cravat is of the blue silk and the girdle of the velvet. The full sleeves are finished at the elbows with of the material and of lace. A. White Season. "Despite the free use of vivid colors, these will be in the minority, and the coming season will be distinctively emphatically white. "The high class tailors report that white broadcloth, serge and flannel are in unprecedented demand, for simple walking costumes as well as for visiting and driving. They advise their patrons to select only high-grade material, because the cheaper varieties soil very much more readily. "Piques are going to be worn, and they will be particularly smart for morning frocks, and also for separate coats and wraps. The piques show various styles of cording, from very fine to very heavy, and their firmness delights the heart of the ladies' tailor. Eyelet embroidery shows to advantage on pique, either by itself or in combination with motifs of 'babby' Irish lace. Hedebo or Danish cutwork is also used, and promises to be as popular as the Hardanger of recent seasons. "The vogue for white gowns necessitates a corresponding one for white hats, both in felt and in lingerie. The white felts will be worn late into the advancing spring. The felt is of the same fine variety introduced during the winter, and the trimming shows wreaths of tulle voluminously plaited, and curling tips that nestle above the ear."—Helen Berkeley Loyd in The Delineator. For a Bride Elect. Linen showers for a bride elect have been exploited so frequently that something new is welcomed. An "emergency shower" is novel. This is given, as are all other "showers" by a friend of the bride to be. Each guest is asked to bring something for the bride's pantry shelf for emergency occasions. Necessarily, the articles are all canned, bottled and boxed stuffs. They may include pickles, potted cheese, wafers, cherries, mints, deviled ham, olives and canned goods of any sort. Each article should be wrapped in white tissue paper and placed in a huge fancy market basket tied with a bow. At such a function simple and suitable refreshments would be cheese, olives, deviled-ham sandwiches and coffee. There must be a a "charm" cake, of course, to ascertain who will be next to marry. Make this of popped corn and sirup, molded in a cake tin, with the "charms" secreted in it. Turn it out on a salver decorated with flowers. Silk and Wool Folienne Some fetching suits are made of the silk and wool colliernes in the grays and whites, with the tiny hairline strip of black, or color, dividing the surface into small squares. Sometimes these goods have a small silk dot or tiny flower embroidered in color in the center of each square. One very chic suit of pale gray collierne with a cross bar of black shows a pale blue polka dot embroidered at intervals. The skirt, which is made up over a gray taffeta foundation, is circular and trimmed with folds of dark blue silk. The bodice is tucked in the finest of lingerie tucks and strapped with dark blue silk bands and with small turquoise buttons. Charming Winter Colors. The young contingent has never worn more becoming or fascinating winter costumes than the cloths or chiffon velvets in coral shades, both pale and deep in tone, besides the flaming and shrimp shades as well as the darker reds. They are always a charming color note at theater, concert or matinees. Knights and Daughters. It changed High Priestess or Ours since this list was kindly notify me at once, to make the correction.
