! LATE PARIS FASHIONS !


On evening gowns sprays. garlands and
single flowers are worn, but with a diff
ference, for the blossoms upon costumes
are mostly the handmade ones Of chif-
fon or velvet.
Jeweled flowers are the latest novelty,
the foundation being made of tuIle and
embroidered with seed pearls. tiny bril-
liants or gold or silver paillettes. A
single flower or a knot Of buds affixed
TO a dress adds much to its splendor.
Even coral beads are used in fashion

foliage being invariably done in che

to outline the veins upon leaves.

Fake Care of Your Teeth.

The proper time to brush the teeth IS
after each meal and at bedtime. Be
fore this is done all particles OF food
should be removed from between the
teeth by means Of a toothpick or, bet
ter. dental floss. Then they should be
brushed thoroughly with a brush of
medium stiffness dipped in tepid water
Very hot and very cold water are
equally harmful.
The brush should be used with an up
and down movement and not sideways
only. and the backs of the teeth should
be brushed even more carefully than
the fronts. for It is there that tartar
tends to accumulate. Many think that
tartar is harmless. but this IS an erro-
neous belief. Its accumulation is one OF
the principal causes of the loosenirg OF
the teeth. and its presence exposes one

THE NEW ARMY BILL.
Afro American Leaders Should See That
the Black Soldiers are Looked After
Some Recognition Due Them.

Editor Colered AmeIican-In view
Of the record and progress made by the
cOl0red race in industry. in intelligence
and especially n view of his splendid
record as a soldier, 1t would seem only
just and hight in the reorganization of
the army that the colored soldier be
allowed to share the glory and benefits
that are justly his because of services
rendered. 1t seems according to the
OilI now pending in Congress that the
white volunteer is to be allowed to reap
some Of the permanent md lasting re
wards by being given a place in the
regular establishment. That seems fair
snd right. Should not the colored
volunteer be treated likewise? He is
undergoing the same hardships win
uing the same renown, for himself and
country. upholding the same flag and
shedding his blood for his country's
eause. He volunteered his services.
Now would it not be the fair and right
thing to have the 48th and 49th voIun'
teer regiments (cOlored) now serving
in the Philippines transferred as they
are now organized, with officers and
men, just as they are, into the regular
services. In these regiments the field
officers are white and the line officers
are colOTed.
Since the day when Crispus Attucks
fell on Boston Commons, the first to
shed the blood that this country might
be free, in the Revolutionary War, in
the war of 1912, in the war of the Re.
bellion, in the Indian outbreaks on the
western frontier, in the war with Spain
and now ID the Philippines, the colored
man has shown by an enviable record
that he is soldier and a fighter. In

! In all probability the present coal
boat stage in the Ohio river will re-
main for a day or two longer, and if
the weather again moderates there will
be sufficient water in the streams to
ship coal to southern points as long
as the combine has towboats. An
other big shipment was made >yester-
day, and to-day the following boats
will leave Pittsburg: J. C. Fisher, 10
boats; Valiant, boats, IL barges;
Belle MCGOWAN, II barges; Volunteer,
IA barges; Fallie, II barges; Coal City,
% barges; Acorn, IA barges. Up to
last night the coal combine had sent
8,93S,000 bushels of coal south.
Two slight accidents were reported
yesterday to the coal fleet. The John
w. Allies narrowly missed striking
dam No. 8, on the Ohio, and as a
result ran her coal boats onto the
shore and was forced to leave two
boats. The Bertha stranded a barge
at Freedom, but it was f1oated off. The
sunken coal boats can be raised.
The coal combine is being handicap
per in it's shipments of coal by the
scarcity of towboats. AS fast as pos
sible the boats are being taken back
to Pittsburg and started out with new
tows. The majority of the coal ship
ped is intended for the Cincinnati and
New Orleans markets, which are near
ly barren of coal. On the last rise
100000 bushels of coal was gotten
out, but as the market was stripped at
that time the amount was quickly
distributed and used,
About sixty barges of coal from the
Kanawha reached Cincinnati yesterday
afternoon.
Capt. ]. A. Henderson and Capt. j.
