ESTRANGEMENT
oCCASiONED By THE RECENT UP.
RISING AGAINST NE.
GROES
In Indiana and Illinois, and RooseveIts
Course Is Driving White Voters
Out of Republican Party.

Washington Aug. 6.-The recent up,
| rislngs against negroes in Indiana and
Illinois is expected to have political
! effect. The Republican party, espe-
clal[y under Roosevelt, is regarded
as negro party, aud the whites il
these states are said to be becoming
estrangeG from ii. y prominent indi-
ana man in Washington said:
You would be surprised to know
that there is likelihood of the negro
vote in Indiana and Illinois. which has
been assured to the Republicans by
President Roosevet's course, being
offset by the loss of white Republican
votes. That is however a fact arls-
ing out of the existing race problem
in these states.
NO one can have failed to observe
the state of public sentiment against
he colored race in Indiana and Illi-
aois. 1t is more pronounced in Indi-
ana but it is bad enough in Illinois. |
7jp afraid it is growing worse every
stop.
Nov we are beginning to observe
oCi'tical phase of the situation similar
TO that of the south erners. The Re-
publican party is being looked upon
as the party of the negro and is be-
ing deserted by white Republicans
who share the race prejudice That
teeiing is especially noticeable in the
small towns, and crops out in the mu-
nicip2l elections. 1t is question of
how tar that feeling will extend. but
it is growing and will have enough
weight in future elections
"The Republican managers, in or
der tG recognize the negro vote. place
negro candidates on the tickets for
minor offices that result in hue and
cfy from the Democrats that it is
negro ticket, and local pressure is
brought to bear to keep men from
voting it who are known to entertain
feelinc on the race question. My
statement may be received with incre-
duiitv in the north. but nothing is i'm
.'essihle in a community where the
race feeling is so strong that a cater
CT from neighboring town employed
to serve a banquet is forbidden to
bring his negro walters in for one
night and the walters are driven out
of town with actual violence"

forever for Othello to find and rave


| aNGl.
In Egypt the handkerchief was
counted as aH amulet and among the
Moors as a love token. Grecian wo-
men appear on their vases musing
pensively with large cloth in the
right hand. and among the Romans the
utilitarian use of handkerchiefs was
deplOred by Juvenal With Elizabeth
e England. the handkerchief, like all
articles of the toilet, was much to be
considered, and was trimmed with lace
and decked with embroidery. Tiny
squares of finest lawns fpely wrought
edged with gold ACE and folded neat
ly, were given by court ladies to their
lovers, who wore the dainty tokens in
their hats.
Now the handkerchief is. in it's way,
thing of sentiment. from which one
may read little of my lady's charac-
ter, for the dainty woman always has
delicate snowy bit Of linen, edged
around with lace, delicatey perfumed
and with certain freshness about it
IS if it Wee never used but once. II
iced Japanese ladies never do use a
handkerchief more than once, any
more than they use toothbrush the
second time. A tiny bit of paper
handkerchief is that affected by my
lady of chrysant hemum land 1t is
tucked into her sash or orbi, and used
# necessary and thrown away.
For morning the~e are fine and thin
Grass linen squares. with faint bit
IF color in the border, and very smart
they look peeping from a pocket, and
for the afternoon there are sheer
squares of the lawn, most delicately
embroidered in fine and close rather
than elaborate patterns. For evening
the tiny squares are edged arour
with real Valenciennes lace, and very
tiny they are, too. For there is never
a pocket in an evening gown. and
it is well to have the handkerchief
small enough to be tucked away in
small space
For some reason fine and pretty
handkerchief will almost redeem an
cid or commonplace toilet. Somehow.
in the eyes of her sister women, the
girl who is always dainty enough to
carry something nice for handker-
chief even with plain attire, rises
several degrees in regard. And, to the
lover there is a great amount of SEN
timent attached to the little flmy tri-
fe he finds in her book, or beside her
chair, redolent of the perfume she
always exhales and warm from the
touch of her hand.

Heels Of a fair height are always in
fashion and always good style, but
the extremely high Louis XIV. heel,
which adds so mucn to a woman's
stature and takes so much from the
size Of the foot, is sometimes voted
bad style" by the mysterious goddess
who regulates what is and is not to
be the thing.
ut has been passing through one of
these periods of eclipse quite lately
and no woman who objected to rather
free remarks being made on her per-
son or dress, has ventured to walk
abroad supported on Louis XIV. of
extreme style. Somehow, during the
last few years. this heel has carried
with it the suggestion of the minor
stage and the music hall that accom-
panies aggressively coppered or yel-
lowed hair, extremely small waists anu
white wells worn over china pink
cheeks. When everybody wore trail
ing skirts, however, nobody missed it.
Now the short-footed woman of low
stature, forced into brief petticoats.
longs for the uplifting Louis made as
high as possible. but does not want
to be thought bad form for wearing
it. Perhaps public opinion-most
f1ckle of goddesses-is about to suffer
a change in this particular although
there are no signs abroad as yet.
Meantime the small woman, timid as
most small women are, must sit on
the fence and wait"

A citizen calls the attention of the
Graphic to the fact that there is an
ordinance which prohibits the hitch
ing of horses to posts and awning and
shed supports on the streets. imposing
q penalty for it's violation. The or
didance is being violated daily, and
the violations are resulting in filthy
streets. In many places such a stencil
is created that a person can not pass
without holding his nose and going by
on run. The ordinance should be
enforced as matter of health and
cleanliness, and if it is not going to
be enforced II should be repealed.
