HIS BUSINESS, SAYS HANNA.

Delaware, O., October 21.--When asked his opinion of President Roosevelts en- tertainment of Booker T. Washington at dinner in the White House Senator Han na said:
 "The subject is a personal one with President Roosevelt. He has right to entertain whom he pleases. He has not surrendered that right by becoming Pres ident. The incident cannot be magnified into one of political importance. The Re- publican party, however, has always been the friend of the coiored man, and of course Roosevelt is in accord with his party
 Senator Foraker said the colored race was to be congratulated on the obvious fact that the people of this country had a representative in the White House who would not draw the color line
 This is not white mans government nor black mans government" said the Senator, but government of, for and by the people.
 President Roosevelt has signified to the whole people that he considers him. self the head of such a government, which in this respect is now no longer ideal, but Is practical
 Governor Nash said President Roose- welt did just right He sticks to the an- nouncement made immediately after the death of President Mckinley, that he would be the President of the whole peo- pie. Politically the occurrence has no importance, except to snow what the colored people know already namely. that they have a friend in the White House,

CAUSES KISSES IN RICHMOND.

Richmond, Va, October H.-President Roosevelt is being severely criticised here by Democrats and white Republi- cans for giving dinner to Booker Wash ington The Republicans of prominence will not, for obvious reasons, allow their names to be quoted, but they are pri- vately doing some very plain talking
 Roosevelt has simply furnished the Democrats of this State with campaign material,' said one of the big leaders
 T am disheartened and disguested. Our chances of carrying Virginia were most encouraging, but I am afraid the Presi- dent has cost us thousands of white votes"
 The colored people, strange as 1t may seem. do not chuckle over the incident They look upon Washington as a sort of aristocrat and out of touch with them The Democrats are jubilant, and word has been passed down the line to some speakers to make this affair the text of their speeches.
 The Richmond papers all condemn this step in the direction of social equality between the whites and the blacks.
 When pictures of President Roosevelt were shown in the Bijou Theatre they were hissed. The pictures were removed and the audience cheered. This was noth- ing, however. in comparison with the cheers that went up when President Me- kinleys picture was presented

 N/NU disturbed by the severe
 Vi kS criticisms of the aouthern


 1 6 criticisms of the Southern press upon the notoIety of his vntcrtair- ment of Booker Taliaferro Washington, the negro educator, at private dinner at the White House. President Roosevelt has his personal views upon all such matters and does not permit sentiment to sway him.
 He regard 1t as his right and privilege to entertain Mir, Washington at dinner and does not hesitate moment to ex- tend the invitation because of the un- friendly criticism that might follow, He considers the protests made in the South tempest In teapot, and wosld not hesitate to ask any other negro he thought worthy to dine with him. MT. Mckinley frequently received Booker T. Washington. and always well comed him to the White House, but never asked him to dine with him.
 President Roosevelt acted in this matter just as he has in other things. He comes and goes from the White House afeot and alone. If he has an errand downtown he goes as if he were private citizen. He goes to the dentists shop instead of calling dentist to the White House. He goes to church in the most demo- cratic style.
 He treads through parks that he may take the shortest routes to and from the White House.
 He disregards many conventionalities though nobody has complained that he is not as dignified as he should be-

with figures on 1t, but now there are
many patterns. and they are all quite
novel. A beautiful new dinner gown
Is made Of the richest OF this always
rich silk. and on the pearl gray ground
are scattered lozenges, OF which one
half Is white and the other Is crimson.
Crimson on pearl gray Is very Frenchy
and stylish. This pattern Is seen in
seven different colors In the same de-
sign, only that the figures are in other
colOrs such as go In combination with
whatever the groundwork is. | forgot
to say that the figures are raised above
the silk.
The particular dress is one of a full
trousseau for a young bride. and 1t was
imported. The form is qaite a simple
one, inasmuch as the skirt Is SO plain.
The skirt Is made with three double
folds. at the center OF the back, and the
front breadth Is slashed TO allow for
insets in fan shape made OF crimson
tafeta. On each side OF the slashes
there is a line OF handsome lace Inser-
ton some three inches wide. This ex-
tends nearly to the waist, where they
form an apex to the point under a
pretty bow OF black velvet ribbon. The
waist Is OF the crimson silk, with a
crush belt OF black velvet. The upper
part OF the waist is cut away and filed.
In with white silk muslin wrought with
hne silver threads. This is then brought
down to the bottom in blouse fold and
decorated with another velvet bow, and
all the ends have spikes. These spikes,
by the way. are very popular just now.
The sleeves OF this dress are to the ell
bow only and are OF the silk trimmed

euffs. On the shoulders are bows with
spikes. and those on the elbows have
them likewise. These spikes are put on
many or the belts. especially those with
long pieces. In irregular lengths. and
these all have the spikes on the ends
They are OF gilt and silver end are call

and most graceful OF all the things
shown Is an empire frock OF white
peau de cygne. which shows that the
dressmaker OF today Is eclectic and
knows enough to use the best OF every
style to produce a harmonious whole.
The back Is princess. with rich folds
at the center below the waist, and the
front. from the sides. Is all in one
piece. This could not be done were It
not that the silk Is so wide. The waist
is short and reaches to the usual length
for an empire. and the shoulder and
yoke portion Is fairly hidden under a
handsome band OF heavy cream lace.

want It. The sleeves are tight TO the
elbow. and from there there is a pun

kind than that used for the yoke and
band. The silk In the dress is so heavy
and rich that IL requires no trimming.
