THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Negroes Against Teddy NEGROES AGAINST ROOSEVELT. THE RACE PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF AMERICA. NINETH YEAR. Negroes Aga Negroes To Fig NEGROES AGAINST ROOSEVELT. Jackson, Miss.—That the state convention of Mississippi Republicans for the purpose of naming delegates to the national convention is going to be red-hot affair has become quite evident. The two factions are sharpening up their knives for the fray, and if a delegation is selected favorable to the administration and its policies, it will be accomplished only after the Negro element has been completely eliminated. A large amount of "insurrection literature" is being distributed among the blacks, who have heretofore taken an active part in Republican affairs, but who have grown very much dissatisfied in recent years because of the large amount of federal patronage distributed among white Democrats, the exclusion of Negro Republicans. With possibly one or two exceptions, Negro leader of consequence in the sate is either actively or passively opposing Presidetn Roosevelt and all other probable aspirants for the presidency are supposed to represent his policies. The revolt was inaugurated several months ago, when a convention of Negro Republicans was held and resolutions adopted strongly fororsing Senator Foraker and defencing the administration. Since that time a still hunt has been in progress, and the Negroes declare that they are going to bring about the downfall of the lily-white faction of the party, elect a Negro delegation to the national convention, and vote for candidate in nowise allied to Mr. Roosevelt or his administration. Earnest appeals are being made to Negroes to line up for the fray and urge the Negroes of the state not to show themselves to be bought into submission with a semi-annual seat on the federal grand jury. Roosevelt at Mound Bayou. On his way from a bear hunt, the resident took occasion to speak in Sound Bayou, Miss. From the tone his speech he thought the Negroes are looking for charity. He told the men to work hard and the women to good housekeepers, but says not a word about giving colored people their rights under the Constitution or insist the oppression which whites perpetrate on them. NOT SELL your household items, etc., etc., store them with us. Wherever the tribes of mankind strive to dwell togethe, there springs up the eternal race problem, says the Erie (Pa.) Herald. It is a problem with a myriad variant forms, but as old as the Tower of Babel. Moses solved one race problem by leading his oppressed people out of Egypt. Their descendants in many lands today know the bitterness of persecution and oppression that spring from racial hatred. It has been the never-broken rule that when fate has forced the men of two distinct races to dwell in the same land, their relations must be that of master and subject. Parity is not possible, for one must rule and the other serve, one must command and the other must obey. It is a rule founded not on justice, but on that far more powerful principle—prejudice. While men in all parts of the globe are liable to similar troubles, says the Minneapolis Journal, British Columbia is now in the throes of an acute racial otubreak. Australia is legislating against the Japanese, the Chinese and the Hindu. The Transvaal, made almost autonomous by the generosity of its imperial conqueror, is threatened with the dire fate of being utterly Asiaticized. Late advices from that South African colony gave details of a curious situation that has arisen in consequence of the colonial government's efforts to make it a white man's country. The South African blacks are not troublesome, but the British subjects that have flocked in from India are very much so. There are 12,000 of them in the Transvaal and many have become prosperous merchants and business men. It was resolved, first of all, to find out what Asiatics were entitled to live there and a law was passed requiring them all to register for identification purposes. This law has been met with passive resistance. The government has been unable to secure the registration and is now confronted with the anomalous situation of having 10,000 Asiatics who are liable to fine, imprisonment and eventual deportation. Literal enforcement of the law is evidently impossible. And yet the Asiatics are gradually squeezing the Europeans out of earning their livelihood. Business depression spreads and the white exodus goes on. But the Asiatic trader survives and grows in numbers He is thrifty and of good habits. But how is the sub-continent to be made the home of a white nation that will be a source of strength to the British empire? America has her race problems, but she has no monopoly of them. Truth to say, England and he colonies have more of them than we, and they are mostly quite insoluble. A BIT OF By HILEN J. CLEL (Copyright, by Daily Story Press) Trinity church is ablaze with lights.

That is the statement of so eminent a physician as Dr. Thomas Hunt Stucky, of Louisiville, Ky. Dr. Stucky has made a specialty of stomach and intestinal diseases. He declares that it is the nervous sort of life that is hurting club women. There is more nervous indigestion among women than among men, and a great deal more indigestion among the club women than among the women who attend peaceably to household duties, according to the opinion of this physician, who has made the subject a specialty. Men may commit more indigestive sins than women, but the percentage of nervous indigestion is greater among the women. Women break down their nervous constitutions by excessive strain, by arduous and exciting club work, and by social functions, and naturally when their nerves go the stomach goes with them. Then comes indigestion and its foes. The ordinary card games played in the average club or social function are a drain on the nervous vitality of women. When the strain is constant it wears terribly. Women have not the endurance to tand it. Among both men and women stomach trouble is on the increase. There are three causes that make for that increase: First, imperfect mastication, the sending of the food to the stomach in an improper condition; second, the drinking of too much liquids with meals, and third, the failure of rest after meals. Club women, as a rule, try to imitate man in his strenuosity, but they are not equal to the task. Women are a far more delicate piece of human mechanism than man, her nerves are not near so strong, her physical being is not built to stand the strain that man can endure, therefore, when she throws herself into that maelstrom of club life the whirling eddy is too strong for her to contend against, and soon her digestive organs go back on her, and with awful swiftness those deep facial lines, the loss of the brightness of the eyes, and the many ills peculiar to women. These destroy her comeliness of form and face, and when woman's grace of figure and comeliness of face begin to fade, her ambition begins to wane, and then rapid decline plays sad havoc with the best and purest of God's gifts to man—woman. Miss Ida Hill is canvassing "Life and Works of Our Greatest Writers," among which are the works of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar. We wish her much success in her canvassing. A BIT OF LIFE Trinity church is ablaze with lights. The chancel is fragrant with the perfume of rare exotics. The rustle of silken gowns is heard as guests pass up the aisle. Voices are hushed and anxious looks toward the western door show the eagerness with which they await the coming of the bridal party. One by one the carriages roll up, deposit their fair burdens and pass down the other side of the street. Outside the thick flashes of snow come down soft and fast. A sudden little gust of wind blows a miniature avalanche around a corner, and for a moment almost blinds a swiftly passing pedestrian, who suffers accordingly from the unexpected assault by bringing his umbrella in direct collision with that of some one coming towards him. Both hurriedly look up, and both simultaneously grasp hands and exclaim: "My dear boy!" "Pon my word, Geoff, where did you drop from?" gasps the younger man. "Odd thing, that, dye, know. Bob Lathrop and I were speaking of you this morning at the club; wondered if one of your royal Bengals had taken a notion to swallow you whole. Bob said: No. Trust Geoff for that; nothing so tame for him. Plucky man, Geoff!' Bob suggested some East Indian beauty and all that sort of thing; might be, you had said 'good by' to the land of your forefathers forever. But now old man, we have you with us again. Welcome back! Tell you, I'm delighted!" The serious gray eyes of Geoffry Thorne had reflected many lights during his friend's speech. At the mention of falling in love, they had saddened perceptibly, but had relighted as if with some sudden thought and turning to the other, he answered: "No, Jack, it was not that. Fighting tigers is not half bad, and there are pretty girls all the world over, but to tell you the truth, three years is a long time to knock around and I've come to stay. The Etruria dropped anchor six hours ago and here I am tubbed, dressed and making for the club; pretty good time, eh?" "Pretty good!" echoed Jack Lenox, absently. "By the way, Geoff, I was thinking instead of going to the club, suppose you take this card and drop into Trinity there; wedding going on—old friend, I believe, too—was going myself, but changed my mind. Good-by, old man! Meet you to-moram at the Metropolitan!" and waving his hand, was off; saying to himself: "Odd thing, that—just happened to think—old flame of his, Marian Strong—wonder how he'll take it!" Thorne glanced at the card carelessly. "Please present this at the church," stood irresolute a minute, and then turned toward the long line of carriages, saying: "Well, I might as well—can go to the club later and Jack says it is an old friend—wonder who?" and turning up his coat collar to the now icy wind, says softly to himself: "Three long years and now back again! Back to Marian!" How lovingly he dwells upon that name, dearer to him than all the world. "Marian! what will she say? Does she care? Who knows? Nothing but silence—all of my letters unanswered—nothing left me but this little ring that she took off her finger the night I said 'Good by!' and told me to trust her—and I have trusted. Can I wait until to-morrow, I wonder?" His thoughts were brought to an abrupt close by the obnoxious umbrella coming in contact with an awning stretched from the doorway of the church to the street, under which he now passes and into the glare. Los Angeles' Executive Stops "Scrap" of Newsboys. Mayor Harper acted as referee and later as peacemaker in a bout of fistcuffs that had not been scheduled, when he pounced upon two street gamins and ordered them to stop fighting and be friends, says the Los Angeles Times. The mayor was taking a stroll on Spring street. He was possibly won- The bridal party are at the altar. From his seat near the door he hears the impressive Episcopal service being read, while the tender strain of de Koven's "O Promise Me" softly steals through the heavy perfumed air. Now the notes have changed to a more joyous tone: the triumphant song of Mendelssohn pealing forth from master fingers. They have turned and are slowly passing down the aisle. Geoffrey begins to feel a bit bewildered. He says he cannot see distinctly, and yet, there is something strangely familiar — "Gad, this collar chokes me!" He turns nervously to loosen it. They are nearing him. The bride seems pale; and it is not a forced smile rather than a natural one that light", the beautiful face? The look of bewilderment on Geoffrey's face has changed suddenly to one of horror and then to a misery that time will never heal. There is spreading over his face an ashy pallor that brings in prominence every line; determination, too, is written there. "My God!" he mutters, "can it be Marian? Marian, darling, come back, come back!" he whispers feverishly and stretches out his arms. Nothing but space answers him. The warden taps him on his shoulder. He looks hastily around and sees he is alone in the church. He steps out int' the frosty air and looks around. Where is he? What has happened? Why is that heavy pain at his heart? and why does everything look so dreary? "Yes, yes," he sighs, "I remember it all." Then the look of determination comes back. Hastily calling a cab, he jumps in and gilving directions to the driver is soon among the long line of carriages drawn up in front of the handsome avenue home that he knows so well. "I will see her! I will know from her own lips," he mutters as he alights and passes in among the guests. He reaches a quiet doorway where he can see and yet be unobserved. He takes a long breath. "Ah, how beautiful she is!" He sees the same clear cut features crowned by that same beautiful hair that he had once reverently touched; the pure white throat rises like chiseled marble from the gleam of her wedding gown. "Her wedding gown! The wife of another!" the thought maddens him. He cannot bear it. "Marian!" he groans and turns away. He will leave the house—it is only agony to stay—he will go away again—all is over—only memory left—that will never go! He reaches the door and then as if impelled by a will stronger than his own—enters the drawing-room. She is receiving her congratulations with ease and grace always characteristic of Marian Strong, but today there is a restlessness, a tremor of excitement about her that she cannot conquer. Her eyes are nervously scanning the room; they look at every one who enters. She gives a sudden gasp. A look of terror spreads over her face and passing away, leaves her death white. Some one is approaching, and with a superhuman effort she controls herself. "May I offer my congratulations, Mrs. Wyman?" a low, steady voice is saying, but she hears nothing. Faces around her have become indistinct. She thinks she hears music somewhere. Her hand is held out mechanically and touched. "Geoffrey, Geoffrey!" she cries faintly. It is stifling, and yet she is growing colder each minute. "Such a surprise!" the voice is saying in well modulated tones. "I only dering how the Burns-Gans fight would come out when right before his eyes, like moving pictures, two newsboys began to engage in the exploitation of the Queensberry rules. How the argument started did not interest the mayor. He put his hands in his pockets and watched. Here was as real a fight as ever he had witnessed in the ring and he watched the quick jabs and swings with interest until a crowd began to collect. Then one of the boys began to get the best of the other and the mayor --- returned from India this morning—met Jack Lawrence on the street; he told me an old friend was being married at Trinity and gave me his card—Such a surprise!" he repeated. "Couldn't believe my own eyes—had to come to the house to be convinced. You have my best wishes, Mrs. Wyman. I should like to see you again, but I sail to-morrow for England. I had expected to remain in New York, but my plans have been changed," and with a forced smile of adieu, he passes on and out in the cooling night. The room grows suddenly dark to Miriam. The light has gone from her life forever. "Mrs. Wyman is ill; the strain has been too much for her!" is whispered around. As the guests leave the room, some one says: "Beauty custom, any-way, standing two hours. Poor girls! I wonder there are not more cases of nervous prostration these wedding receptions." As Geoffrey boards the Kron Prinz the next morning, a note is handed him. It is only a little cream, crested affair, and reads thus: "They told me you were dead; that you had been killed in a fight with natives. My letters were returned. Father urged me to marry Mr. Wyman, and at last I yielded. Oh Geoffrey! why did you come back too late?" --- Jack Lawrence hears the news of Geoffrey's departure next morning at the club and twirls his mustache thoughtfully as he says to himself: "By Jove! there must have been something in that old affair after all. Jack, it wasn't quite fair in you! Poor old Geoff!" then calls for a brandy and soda. THE MAKING OF A HOME. Fine Furnishings Must Not Be Chief Reliance. It was a great, big house; a goodly lawn, and trees about, and flowers fresh along the walk. Alice was visiting in Boston. Harriet was at Atlantic City. Jennie was spending the summer at Asheville, N. C.; Billy was fishing in the lakes; Mrs. Snooks was abroad, and Mr. Snooks pretended to have an enormous case of brain fog and took it up to Lakeside to smoke it away. Thus a beautiful home was turned into a boarding house, where the cook entertained the chambermaid and the coachman and the goose hung high. Thus it happens, often happens, that as soon as a fine home is prepared, it is abandoned, its attractions grow stale and its companionship becomes wearisome. The fault is easily discerned. Dependence is put upon riches and the things they will buy. Fine mahogany, oriental rugs, crystal mirrors, costly plate, infinite bric-a-brac are relied upon to fill the heart with perennial delight, but they will not do it. They become awfully commonplace after awhile, and Alice looks into Jennie's face and says: "Home-life is a sham—let's skip," and they skipped. "Is there nothing better than this? Is this the fate of riches—this broken-up home; this always wandering away off for contentment and delight? Some years ago, we read in an editorial in the Outlook, this little sentence: "The joy which all men crave lies within the invisible circle of the heart." If Alice could only realize that; if Harriet only knew how much greater the heart is than the mansion; if Jennie could understand that that home was really as beautiful and attractive as the heart would make it—they would not wander to the utter-most parts of the earth for a contentment that they never find, because they turned their backs upon it at their own gate—Ohio State Journal. The Voice of Mind. A man has always the voice of his mind. A mind clear, distinct, firm, generous, a little disdainful, displays all these characteristics in its voice. interfered. He caught each of the combatants and read the riot act. "Gee," remarked one of the boys in alarm, "it's de mayor." "Now get together and be friends," said Mayor Harper, as he handed the boys enough cash to indulge in the purchase of soda water. "What were you kids fighting about, anyhow?" he asked. "Aw, dis mut says dat me grand-mudder's got a wart on her nose," remarked one of the juveniles as arm in arm they walked down the street. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N.

"To Live and Let Live" Is Our Motto. WHITE MEN CRIMINALLY ASSAULT COLORED WOMEN AND WERE NOT LYNCHED—BOND FIXED AT ONLY $500. Brookhaven, Miss.-Hiram Case, Wiley Jarrell and John Greer, three white men, were tried here before Justices Douglass and Hoffman, charged with committing a criminal assault on Ann Powell, colored, and her daughter, a girl of 13, last Saturday night. hTe defendants were sound over to the next grand jury in the sum of $500 each, in default of which they were sent to jail. The alleged crime was committed in the country a few miles east of Wesson. MEN ARE BORN FREE. Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. Many a one believes himself the master of others, and yet he is a greater slave than they. How has this change come about? I do not know. What can render it legitimate? I believe that I can settle th's question. If I consider only force and the results that proceed from it, I should say that so long as a people is compelled to obey and does obey, it does well; but that, so soon as it can shake off the yoke and does shake it off, it does better; for, if men recover their freedom by virtue of the same right by which it was taken away, either they are justified in resuming it, or there was no justification for depriving them of it. But the social order is a sacred right which serves as a foundation for all others. The right, however, does not come from nature. It is, therefore, based on conventions. The question is to know what these conventions are.—Jean Jacques Rousseau. Johnstons Restaurant, N39 N. Main, is the place to get good meals. Ice cream and soda water always on hand ATTEND SOME CHURCH. What is the difference in a person in a civilized land who never goes to church nor Sunday school and the person in an uncivilized land and who never goes to church and Sunday school. The man who is living in a civilized land is worse of the two. The heathen have no church to go to and the other fellow has and will not go. The fellow who knows God's will and doeth it not shall be beaten with many stripes and the fellow that does not know God's will and doeth it not shall be beaten with few strikes. In this the fellow who gets the biggest flailing is the worse. There are plenty of parents and children who live in this city filled with churches and Sunday schools who never go to either. If it would be possible to get every Negro to attend some church or Sunday school just once each week we would soon have a race more gigantic than the giants of old. Attend some church or Sunday school. You owe it to yourself and the community in which you live. GRAND, YES INDEED, FINE. The musical recital presented by Miss Mamie Richardson and her class at Redman hall, Thursday night, was indeed a grand affair, and surpassed the expectations of all. In the first place the large audience which filled the spacious hall is a most flattering testimonial of the high esteem in which the people of Wichita hold Miss Richardson. The audience that greeted Miss Richardson Thursday night was by many odds the largest and most orderly which has ever met at this hall under a similar occasion. In the next place the rendition of each number on the program was pr excellent and filled all with pleasure Each of Miss Richardson's students who filled a program number played with grace and ease and showed plainly the training of their teacher. Miss Richardson's program on the plano was a marvel of wonderment and shows her to be a master of the plano and a wonderful musician. Her program as rendered follows: Part I. Piano Duet (Tourist March)...... .....Misses Clark and Patton March Militaire (Paraphrase, C.

A. of Topeka, Kan., defeated the Lawrence Athletic in a rough but fast game of football at Topeka Saturday, November 3d, the score being 5 to 2. The main feature of the game was the rough playing of the Y. M. C. A. boys. The Athletics being without any of the officials were compelled to abide by the unfair decisions. The best player of the Athletics was John Wilson, a freshman medic of the Kansas University from the noted Summer High School of Kansas City, Kan., who played left end. His long runs on the forward pass attracted the attention of the Topeka aggregation. Woodie Jacobs, the quarterback of the Athletics, was in great form; his punts and long passes were great as numerous s. Ben Thompson, the famous Topeka quarterback, was cheered several times. The Y. M. C. A.'s are scheduled to play Western University Friday, November 7th, st Topeka. The Athletics will play the Sumner High School at Lawrence, Saturday, November 16th.

All Queen Mothers of Tents send in at once the number of Maids and Pages to C. G. M. and receive Tent Endowment Certificate blanks at 25 cents per dozen. As we now pay endowment for Maids and Pages, it is necessary the certificates be in the hands of parents or guardians now, which will avoid trouble in the paying off the claims in the future. It behooves us to be prompt in this affair as we are the first to pay endowment for children. This places the International Order of Twelve in the lead of all orders in the Jurisdiction in the care of its children and all members should feel encouraged at this advanced move and do all in their power to push the order to the front. All departments of the order should pay their endowments the first of each month which will enable the C. G. Tr. to pay the endowment as promised. Since our last Grand Session eight members have passed away and we are pleased to state we are able to pay all claims. All Temples and Tabernacles are hereby notified to send in their reports the first week in December to C. G. M., also Queen Mothers send reports to G. Q. M. All C. M.'s H. P.'s should see that some news of importance of the order be sent each month to the Searchlight, the official organ. All D. G. M.'s and D. G.

"Are you Dr. Livingstone?" That was the terse and tense question Henry M. Stanley put to an emaciated, disease-streicken, heroic old man who had plunged into the heart of the African jungle and had been unheard of for years. The answer meant much to both. It meant more to the world. Henry M. Stanley after months of indefatigable struggle—literally cutting his way foot by foot through the dense, forbiddink jungle, hourly fighting death, disease, nature, climate, poisonous insects, ferocious animals and huge pythons, had "found Livingstone." After struggling on and when all nature seemed to conspire hopelessly against him—when utter defeat and death stared him in the fce, Stanley discovered Livingstone as Livingstone had discovered the Great Victoria Falls—providentially. This dramatic meeting is now recalled in view of the great discovery with which the name of Dr. David Livingstone is inseparably linked—the discovery of the Great Victoria Falls which will be reproduced in moving pictures by Lyman H. Howe in the Crawford on Monday, November 11th. Although 50 years have passed since then, it has remained for Lyman H. Howe to be the first to reproduce the great discovery—in all its grandeur. Words are powerless to describe the sublime spectacle of a chasm more than twice the depth of Niagara. The scenes show the noble Zambesi rolling over the brink with a defening roar, the vast columns of spray rising from stupendous cataracts, the boling, rushing, churning, foaming waters—all are shown in the rich glow of sunset and moonlight as well as by daylight. The exquisite beauty of the scene is reproduced with the realism that invariably characterizes Mr. Howe's exhibition above all others. Compared to these animated pictures, more still or stereo-optic pictures are futtle. No imagination can conceive the true grandeur of this unequalled spectacle. It must be seen to be realized. The poetry and sensuous, languorous beauty of the dreamy South has been at all times a prolific field for the pen of writers of fiction and drama. In "At the Old Cross Roads," which will be seen here at the Crawford, matinee and night, on Saturday, Nov. 16th, the author conceived an intensely interesting drama of real life of that section, and the characters have been drawn with a master hand. The company is a splendid one and will contain the well-known and popular people that have been identified with the attraction for the past six successful tours. The sale of seats will open soon and the indications are that one of the largest audiences of the season will witness this ever popular play.

The name of George Ade is now known throughout the length and breadth of America and EEurope and one of his plays means that much money has to be spent. Correspondingly well known is the name of "The County Chairman," the prominent New York success which probably occupies the head of the class today. So when it is announced that one of Ade's biggest successes, "The County Chairman," presented by one of the largest and best companies is to be seen at the Crawford Saturday, November 9, matinee and night, the great importance of the announcement can readily be realized. Further, theatergoers should comprehend that one of the greatest dramatic treats of the season is coming their way and they should richly prepare for it.

Baskets of one sort and another, of atmple er more or less ornamental character, have long been used for holding fruit on tables, but within the last few years there have come to be offered for such use baskets specially designed with a view to their dec- orative effect, Here, for instance, is a lifelike bas: ketwork turkey perched on a basket. work pumpkin of proportionate dimen- sions, both turkey and pumpkin fin- ished in their natural colors, this tur- key table basket being designed to stand on a Thanksgiving dinner table. And here {s a table basket in the form of a swan, life size and natural fm appearance, and graceful, and here is a gorgeous table basket of fine work in the form and colorings of a peacock. There is a table basket in the shape of a chicken, and here 1s one designed to adorn a patriotic table in the form of an eagle. Sometimes table baskets are made to order in special forms, as for ban: quets. One such basket was made in the form of a billiard table. Where guch baskets are made specially it Is necessary to give the order well in advance, for it must go to Europe to be filled, table baskets, like almost all other fancy baskets, being made tn Germany. Besides being used for fruits table baskets are sometimes used for flow ers. They cost from five to twenty tun totlare. Blouse Novelty. One of the most charming novelties tn the way of blouses has been launched by a well known designer of unusual styles. This delightful little wast {s made of soft silk in the most delicate of shell pink tones. The en- tire bodice and drooping sleeves are formed of two-inch folds, one over- lapping the other. ‘These run from the high girdle over the shoulders and tuck in at the back. The sleeves are formed of a continuation of plaits or folds extending to the wrist, where they narrow down to proportionate dimensions. The neck ts finished with @ high lace and batiste collar and chemisette. Two rather more elab- orate blouses of this character have thelr folds an inch wide, and each one edged with the narrowest lace to be found. Besides giving the desired broad shouldered effect the lace softens the regular lines of the folds eo carefully placed. Waistcoat Trimming. ‘The universal use of waistcoats brings forward a great variety of trimmings. ‘These waistcoats are made of cloth, silk, or velvet trimmed tn braid; also of brocaded silks and tapestry vestings.

The trim mings are plain silver gilt and the handle is a narrow stitched strap o} the suede. When the bag is opened the mouth forms a perfect circle, The inside 1s divided permanently by tne coin purse, which has an outside cov. ering of reseda moire and a lining of white suede. This is roomy, without suggesting bulk. ‘The bag proper fs lined throughout with watered silk, and on one side is a shirred pocket, which holds a tiny oblong mirror faced with silk and 2 green suede powder putt envelope, In which reposes an infinitesimal bit of elderdown, while between these two cases is a tiny glass salt bottle, with a silver gilt top. These purses come in other shades, too, in the fashions ble purple and lavenders, in gray, brown ranging from tan to seal, and in blue. It is the fad to have the purse match or at least shade into the color of the costume. Even young ‘girls adhere strictly to this one tone effect or to the one of harmony in coloring, Another smart bag of soft suede tn a lovely shade of brown was oblong in shape and had the outside smocked near the top. There were two or three rows of smocking below the narrow silver gilt rim, which provided consid: erable fulness at the bottom. This purse held the usual coin compartment and the three essential beauty acces. sorles—the putf case, the mirror and the powder box. Pigskin, while neither new nor es pecially smart, is always in good taste for morning use. It is a particu- larly suitable leather for young girls and is made up in. most attractive purses. If the strap kind is likee then a long, narrow purse is chosen. with the usual compartments and a well attached strap running length wise of the back. There are shorter purses of pigskin with a rounding down flap, trimmed with a narrow sil- ver rim. This has no visible fasten- ing, but there is a snap on the under side, The square purse, while very roomy and easy to carry, is not in as good taste as the long, narrow one. | BODICE FOR A MATRON, Pretty Made Up in Either Fine Wool- ens or Silk. | ‘This is a pretty bodice for making up in fine woolens and silk.

From Fran An Interesting Query Advanced By| new idea in this line that English Astronomer. peculiar and entirely dif Under this title the probability of the existence of a vast central body of which our own sun, with the train of attendant planets, is but a satellite, is discussed in Knowledge and Scientific News by F. W. Henkel, a fel- low of the Royal Astronomical society. After describing the difficulty in de- tecting the apparent motion of the fixed stars, due to the drift of our solar system through space, and the reasons for our present certainty that such motion exists, Mr. Henkel goes on to say: . “Many of the stars have been found to possess proper motions displacing them gradually in their relative posi- tions, but the most remarkable thing of all is to find that in many cases neighboring stars have proper motions nearly the same in direction and amount. This, of course, is partly due to. the sun's moticn in space causing this apparert agreement, but allow- ing for this, there is no doubt that very many are physically connected, though they must be enormously dis- tant from one.another. “Thus, five of the seven stars form- ing the ‘Plow’ are moving together as a body, and many of the Pleiades have a common motion. Though our knowledge of the sun’s motion through space is too recent for us to per- ce oy : ; ne oe: Bes oe cee Oe ee, fate ‘The Pleiades. ceive any deviation from a straight line, or, indeed, anything beyond the mere fact of this motion, yet there is little doubt but that the patch must really be a curved one, and it has been supposed that our sun with other stars is revolving round some great central body. “From the community of motion of many of the Pleiades it was supposed by Madier that Alcyone, the brightest star in that cluster, is the central sun round which the others, including our own sun, also revolve. Although, as Sir J. Herschel says, it is scarcely probable that any general circulation can take place in this position, lying so far out of the plane of the ‘Galac- tie Circle’ (Milky Way), and our knowledge is by no means sufficient to decide such a point, yet there is no reason for doubting that this star may be at the center of the motion of many of the neighboring stars, and thus a central sun, though possibly not our central sun.” The author notes that neither prop- er motion nor parallax has been as yet detected in the case of the star Canopus, whese brightness is next to that of Sirius. Thus, if we suppose the intrinsic brightness of its surface comparable with that of our sun, its real size must be many thousand times greater. This star, invisible in our latitudes, may, Mr. Eddington thinks, be the center of a system whose mem- bers are at.least as large as our own sun, if not larger, so that here we seem to have indications of the exist- ence of bodies of a mighty scale of magnitude. He goes on to say: “There is a general unanimity of motion of several hundred stars in the Pleiades group. . . . The group is surrounded by large numbers of widely extended nebule, most of which were first discovered by the camera before they were perceived by the eye. Most of the members of this family have similar spectra, so that there seems no reason to doubt the very close connection of these bodies with one another, while the central po- sition and predominance of Alcyone render it highly probable that this star is the central sun of this system. “This, of course, in no way shows that our own sun also revolves round the same center. “In a recent paper on the ‘Syste. matic Motion of the Star,’ by Mr. Ed- dington (the new chief assistant at Greerwich), . . . the author ar- rives at the following results: The proper motions strongly support Kap- teyn’s hypothesis that the whole of the stars may be roughly separated into two ‘drift? or groups. One drift is movingly relatively to the sun, with a speed about three times that of the other. So far as has been examined, the numbers and magnitudes of the stars belonging to each of the two drifts are about the same, and they seem distributed in fairly equal pro portions throughout the sky.” = To Double Life of Umbrellas, ‘The usual way on coming in out of the rain is to place the umbrella in the rack or corner with the handle up- ward. This allows the water to run down and remain a long time in the metal that holds ribs together, which rust the joints and rot the fabric. If the handle is placed downward instead of upward the water will run away from this point first and the whole top will drv auicker. WATER NAVIGATION, Unique Method of Propelling Craft on Water, It is very evident that inventors are struggling with the problem of navi- gation on water, the present methods of propulsion being still possible of improvement. From France comes & new idea in this line that is certainly peculiar and entirely different from any so far devised. Only the principle of the contrivance is shown in the il i LO SKE A eS SS Zc — | ee a J SS Cea = ae Driven by Large Belt. lustration. The inventor employs a huge belt, which connects with pul- leys at each end of the driving mechanism. Smaller guide pulleys are placed between the larger ones. Suit- able power is provided to drive the pulleys, which in turn transmit the power to the belt. The latter is moved over the water with velocity and force to cause the water to react as a solid sufficiently to support the craft. Pad- dies are attached to the driving pul- leys, adding to the power of propul- sion. This unique method of naviga- tion has not as yet had a practical demonstration, but theoretically it should prove a success at least on small boats. COLLAPSIBLE WINDOW VENTI- LATOR. Fresh Air Device for Homes and Of- fice Buildings. A new fresh-air device for homes and offices is the collapsible ventilator. It is fastened by hooks to the inside of the window at the bottom of the sash. As the window is raised the ventilator, C, opens like an accordion to the limit of eight inches.

It is. designed to furnish abundance of air without any breeze. FOUND IN ZULULAND. Remains of a New Extinct Elephant Discovered in Africa. Jn the final report of a recent geo- logical survey of Natal and Zululand, Dr. W. B. Scott, the well known palaeontologist of Princeton, New Jer- sey, gives a description of the two last molars of an extinct elephant obtained from a deposit of late Tertiary age in Zululand. For the elephant the author proposes the name of elephas zulu. Its teeth have their constituent plates more numerous and thinner than are those of the existing African species, and they are described by Dr. Scott as being to a great extent intermedi- ate in this respect between the latter and those of the extinct European and Asiatic elephas antiquus. To Mr. R. Lydekker, who writes on the subject in Knowledge and Scientific News, they seem to be much nearer the molars of the species last named. It is suggested that E. zulu may have been the ancestor of the living E. afri- canus, in which case it would almost be imperative to regard the molars of the latter as being of a degenerate type. This question requires very caré- ful consideration; but, apart from this, the discovery is one of great interest. Wicbubin: Niaamenibate. Not long ago the farmers and culti- vators in Algeria often went to con- siderable expense to destroy the dwarf palms which abound in that part of Africa. Now, thanks to the constant progress of practical science, these same once despised plants have be- come a source of wealth, and are con- sequently cultivated in their turn. Their leaves furnih fibers from which, by very simple processes, is produced a substitute for horsehair in the man- ufacture of mattresses and of the fill- ing for cushions, chairs and so forth. Other plants likewise furnish fiders which are utilized for a similar pur- pose, but the African dwarf palm at present holds the lead in this industry.
