an emancipation celebration at Kansas

ten thousand people turned out to hear
him. He states that the Republican

pages are replete with good things.
Although a new candidate for public

be an improvement on the preceding

EDITORIAL THOUGHTS.

We are giving some opinions OF the
colored press in this issue of THE Col
ORED AMERICAN anent the strikers and
strike breakers. There are some differ
enceS of opinion, but the main issue
is: Does the colOred man who accepts
fit himself? He is merely used as a
means to an end it seems, and his job
lasts no longer than the strike lasts.
He is then turned out, the strikers Re
placed and the feeling of race preju-
dice increased.

If the colOred people of the country
will follow Dr.. WashingtOn's advice

the occupations in which they are en-
gagged, they will have gone very far
toward solving the race problem.

The Star Of Zion contributes very
timely editorial in it's issue of August
4th, to the preachers, whom it denomi-
mates the "truest leaders of the race
and the Star sustains it's position by
strong facts and arguments. 1t is a
fact that for the past forty years no
class of men have contributed so much
TO the development and to the advanc-
ment of the race as has the preacher.
The school teacher has done his work
the politician and the business men
have done their work; but the efforts
TO develop the race along all lines, to
organize it into active working bodies
mas been the work of the minister
They have not all been educated, and
all of them have not lived up to the
tenets of the decalOgue, but their
power for good has been great and far
'eaching. We do not hesitate to say
hat the most scholarly, most liberal
most eloquent and the profoundest
men of the race, belong to that class
known as preachers.

POQsSG Cafe. .

BY far the best comedy present
ed in New Iberia this season was
"Pousse Cafe'' offered by Weber
and Fields big Company, headed
by Bobby Harris. Sam Sidman and
Jake Bernard, last Sunday night
at the Vendome in the pres nee of
q large and appreciative audience
While there is really no plot 10
''Pousse Cafe" it is made up
chiefly of farce comedy, singing
and dancing, in fact it is brimful
of life and scenes that create
laughter and drives away the
blues. And this it did last Sunday
evening to the intense satisfaction
Of every one in the audience, al.
most if not a single exception.
"Bedella" as sang by Miss Jessie
Moore and company, was in itself a
rare treat as were also the other
musical numbers, especially allow
Hove My Lou" by Ted T. Burns
and Company, "All That sort OF
Rot" Louis Delange, and little
Old New York" As comedians
Harris, Sidman, and Bernard are
cit" and can well be remembered
as beng among the very best
that have appeared in this city OF
section, and their supporting
company is deserving Of more
praise and commentator than the
space at our disposal permits us

Of city and country people on the

which the occasion afforded.

and this is the third one TO exhi
bit here; the two years ago under
the auspices of Elks; the second
one last year nuder the auspices OF
the firemen and militia; and now
the third one under the auspices
of the Red Men and Woodmen Of

One Of the principal incident,

with people for Ave or six blocks
and almost every one Of these
thousands were engaged in throw

those who did not engage in this

How to Reduce tho Waist.

Stand with the heels together. the
toes pointing out slightly, the body
erect, the chest high, and head straight
and the chin in. Hands are at the
sides, palms forward. Now count
seven, inhaling through the nose. and
swing arms up at the side until they are
the width Of the chest apart and above
the head, palms forward. Hold this
position through four counts, and then,
expelling the breath through the
mouth, swing down until the finger
tips come as close as possible to The
floor. The arms are stiff and the bend
ing is done at the waist, not at the
knees.
The first time this exercise is tried
the hands will be several inches from
the floor. When the summer girl can
touch the floor with her fingers she
may depend upon it that her waist
measure is going down.-Philadclphia

Women and After-pInner Talks.

Women as after-dinner speakers ap-

Perhaps this is the one direction in

"There was never any reason why
women should not have gained dis
tinction as speakers" said a woman
who is herself considered to have no
mean ability in the line, 'but the fact
remains that among the list of women
who have gained prominence in politics
and in the various professions within
the past ten years or more very few
could deliver speech that was any
thing more than an apology. But club
life has made calls upon women for
abilities in the way Of reading papers
aloud and joining in public discussions,

Telephone Girls of Europe.

A London correspondent who has
ndon-Paris-Nilan wire in his room
writes that In his opinion the telephone
girl is not quite an angel. He finds
the London telephone girls slow and
Indifferent. the French intractabie and
impertinent. When the Whitaker
Wright trial was proceeding he found
himself late with some news and
rushed to tie telephone. Absolute ST.
lence followed his frantic ringing, until
he almost pulled the telephone from the
wall. After twenty minutes or so a
sweet voice said: Number. please?"
But" he protested, Il have been ring
ing for half an hour" 'Oh. really! I
am so sorry. was drinking my tea!"
In Paris the girls are absent-minded
and usually make the connection bad
ly. but have invariably an excuse and
will not hear remonstrances.
The Italian telephone girl by the side
of her London and Paris sisters shines
indeed. She is obliged to repeat the
number wanted. and so seldom makes
a wrong connection, she is prompt, and
not exceptionally pert, but she is lazy,
and will often tell you that the person
you want does not reply when she has
made 10 effort to ring him up.-Rome

Lace For Gowns.

Tncre are any number Of pretty new
crepy materials that wash wonderfully
well. among them being crepe mar
quiSe, which has q background Of
monotoncs with embroidered dots and
crepe amazonee, very like the mar
quise. with stripes instead of dots.
Lovable and durable are the crepes,
prilcesse and ponpadour, combining
the softness of the crinkly fabrics with
the iustre Of silk.
For the trimming of these dainty
confections there is a tape lace, one
of the smart new dentelle ventures.
and another surprising novelty, straw
paSscmentcrie which the manufactur-
ers have made pliable and silky and
quite adaptable as an adornment for
the hot weather blouse and skirt.
