FASHION HINTS.

The most fashionable belt of
the season is made of gun metal
and is about one inch wide.
Many Of these belts have steel
chains at the left side, TO which
are fastened bags of leather for
purse, shopping list. hand
kerchief, 'etc. Another pretty
belt is made to be worn over a
crash belt of stain. 1t is a long
sleud er chain of silver, with
large links and fastens with a
queer little ball and catch of
silver.
Women are wearing white to
the exclusion of everything else
in their homes. The prettiest of
all the house gowns are made of
white flannel or china crepe,
decorated with soft white lace
and silk ribbon. The underwear
worn, too, is almost iuvaria bly,
white. Some time ago colored
underwear prevailed, but
women have even given over
the wearing of tinted corsets,
A rosette of velvet in the hair
is also new fashion in sharp
contrast to the high stiff bows
and agrettes that hav been in
style for so long.
There is All ominous rumor
that women are to wear gathered
skirts. Box plated skirts are
here already, and while they
were not received with such
open arms as was the habit back
still they are being worn. 1t re.
mains to be seen if women will
60 back to the fashion of thirt y
years ago. Tight waists are
worn already, and it needs only
the promised gathered skirts to
make the picture complete.

THE MONTGOMERY CONFERENCE.
Opinions Expressed by Bishop Wal

tiers of A. NJ. E. Church.
Bishop Walters. president of the Afro
American Council. who is attending the
conference Of the A. NJ. E. Zion Church in
this city. made the following comment upon
the recent conference at Montgomery, Ala ::
Il am of the opinion that notwithstand-
ing the discouraging features of the Mont
gomery conference 1t will prove in the end
helpful to our cause. The large majority
of the speeches and prevailing sentiment
of the conference was inimical to the in
terest Of the blacks. This was to be ex-
pected. since the meeting was held in the
very city where the confederacy was es-
tablished. Again. the leading speakers
were the most radical in all the land-such
men as Mayor Waddell Of Wilmington and
men of his ilk. 1t is a sad day for any
people when their enemies and oppressors
would undertake to advise or suggest for
them their future policy.
Much was said about the increase of
crime among the negroes without giving
the causes for such apparent increase The
causes are: Lack of moral training,
which is largely Que to the methods used
to enforce obedience in ante-bellum days.
2-Prejudice against negroes makes it an
easy matter to securN convictions. 3-Their
extreme poverty prevents them from secur-
ing legal talent. ITO furnish convict
labor.
For years books and pamphlets have
been written and published declaring that
the negro did not belong to the Adamic
family The authors are dead and their
works have persisted with them, and the
world acknowledges the negro brother
Before the emancipation it was said it was
utterly impossible that the negroes should
ever be free. Some of those authors lived
to see them move out Of bondage to
freedom.
Il am not sorry that the conference has
been held. 1t is now obvious to all that
if the conference expressed the sentiments
of the south 1t Is opposed to fair play
toward the negroes. We are sure that
right is on our side. and right will win the
day. Some of us may live to witness the
folly of all statements that the negro can
never be anything in this country but a
newer of wood and drawer of water We
have seen SO many prophecies concerning
the failure of the negroes freemen, pro-
fessional men, mechanics, teachers, busi-
ness men, fnanciers, artists, ETC., come
to naught, that 1 have but little to fear
from the discouraging talk we hear these
