THE NEGRo,s HANDICAP.
[ washington. Ia, Press.l

What tremendous handicap a
black skin is! A negro in this country
has no more show than has a SNOWFALL
in perdition. The cards are fixed
against him and the dice loaded. 1t is
an infinite pity, a vast, teeming,
spawning race under doom, the butt of
all the rest of creation, accused, sold
out as slaves. The black race is her
metically sealed under matches, and
can't make anything out Of itself. It's
muscle, its Drawn, and even it's virtue
commercialized for Others Ham would
lots better have been side meat. Meat
he is, and others eat it.

Narrow velvet ribbon slipped thru
the mesh Of lace medallions adds a
contrasting touch to the decoration OF
coats, gowns and bodices that is very
effective.
Costumes that display an almost
equal quantity of velvet or cloth and
silk are extremely chic and they are
more comfortable and appropriate for
the present season than all silk, but.
notwithstanding, there is great craze
for light weight materials. The cloth
or velvet provide proper warmth, and
silk the ornamentation upon these
modish toilettes, SO all requirements
are met.

able and may be had in many soft
tones and attractive patterns.
The revival of chenille balls, tassels

seems to be growing every day.
Some of those who are already think

interested in this paragraph from

expensive trifles. Opera glasses are

there are lorgnettes, fans. hatpins and
umbrella handles of shell, gold-mount-

Many handsome pieces in embroidery
are made with the Cluny lace braids,

are the hand-embroidered waists.

When selecting ribbons for sheer
silk-lined fancy articles, it is very
good idea to choose shade somewhat
lighter than the lining.
The incest feature Of some of the
gay plaid coats is the plain satin lin
ing which is often in the softest and
most attractive shades.
The band Of black satin that edges
the front of long coat is continued
around the bottom in deep points that
extend half way to the hips. A line Of
fancy braid follows the satin and at
each point is a double loop Of the braid
terminating in long dangling ends.
A gown worn at fashionable New

princess order, were two narrow ruff
fles of thin lace edged with dark brown
velvet ribbon.

"It is we'll that the editor is a man

community" says the Manson Dem

man has reflected, with grim
sarcasm, on the way life could

unexpected quarters il he should get
out his muck rake in earnest, But h.
never does it-or at least not often,
and then only when his corns are step

the press. They bear everything, but
tell only part of it. They resist great
temptation, and draw the mantle of
charity over some unsavory nlesses."

CANADIAN ROADS RACING
FOR OUTLET TO PACIFIC

VICTORIA. B. c. June 1s.-Four great
railway lines are believed to be heading
for the Yellow Head Pass in the Rocky
Mountains. and il is more than likely
that the Canadian railway commission
viii have a difficult task to perform in
alloting each its right OF way through
the mountains. The companies concern
ed viii be the Grand Trunk Pacific. the
Canadian Pacific, the Canadian North
ern, and the line under the control Of
James J. Hill. The latter will be the
company now known as the Vancouver.
Westminster & Yukon, which has a
charter in this province TO build from
Vancouver TO the Yellow Head Pass.
1t is not unlikely there may be a race
among several Of these companies to
get their lines from the wheat fields OF
the Canadian prairies to the Pacific
Ocean. None of these roads and pro-
iected lines has filed plans with the
Ottawa government YET, but it Will be
be no surprise II several of them are
sent in almost simultaneously.

Modern Methods in Ferreting Crime.

young artist in London has brought

Six Famous Personages-
A weIl-known girls magazine gave a
competition lately to its readers, which
produces some amusing results. The re-

order;
I. The Bis9s1p OF London

3. Mr.. joseph Chamberlain
4. Miss Marie Corelli; Lord Roberts.

an American as an English public. That
Miss COrelli should be linked with Lord

BERLIN, June 16.-Passengers and Of

with the way many of the passengers
