The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1908-08-07

An article appeared in the Nash
vile American of August 5, which is
given in part below. 1t is another
case of the intent on the part of the
Republicans of Tennessee to keep the
Negroes political aspirations COM
pletely smothered:
"The colored Republicans of the
city organized a movement culmiha-
ting Tuesday TO have J. w. Grant,
one of the best known Negro lawyers
of the city made Assistant United
States Attorney General to succeed
Lee B ELK, resigned. A petition was
circulated, James Bumpass, another
we'll known colored lawyer Of the
city, having charge of the movement.
Early Tuesday morning Bumpass tel
ephoned District Attorney A. NJ Till
man, requesting an audience that he
might present his petition, but was
given the cold shoulder He was in
formed that a recommendation had
already been made and that reply
was being expected. The petition
was signed by twenty colored law
yers and citizens, leaders Of their
race in Nashville. Every one asked
to sign the document did so, as Grant
stands very high among his people
"The movement was talked over
Saturday among a number of colored
people of the city, but no active steps
were taken at that time, as Mr. Brock
had not resigned After learning oi
his resignation in the morning papers
Sunday, Bumpass took charge of the
petition Owing to the limited time
at his disposal, only a few were
asked to sign. The conversation be
tween Mr.. Tillman and Bumpass il
said to have been about as follows
Conversation over 'Phone.
Hello, is that you, Mr. Tillman?' 2

wThis is James Bumpass. | have

to Mr.. Brock, as Assistant Distric
Attorney, and myself and other
would like to wait upon you and pre-
sent it to you"
'Well, there would be no use il
your coming, Bumpass. I have a
ready decided to recommend som
one else. My recommendation ha
already gone to Washington, and
am expecting a reply Goodbye"
The document in question was a
follows:

and as a result the frame will be
ready for the upholstering and drap-
ing.
Line the box with heavy unbleached
muslin. denim or other heavy, service
able goods. and all around the front
and ends form pockets of denim to ac-
commodate shoes and slippers.
This can be done by taking a long
strip of the material and lacking an
end at one corner, using pair of shoes
or a single one as model around
which to wrSp the material to deter
mine the size Of the pocket.
Between the pockets secure the mate
rial with vertical line of large tacks
driven well into the wood.
From a mattress maker obtain some
curled hair and spread 1t on the seat
over which the upholstery material is
to be drawn and tackled. Treat the
back in similar manner and cover
the uprights with upholstery material,
under which thin layer Of sheet
wadding has been placed.
Across the front of the box arrange
a flounce Of the material so 1t will
hang evenly and tack 1t to the upper
edge Of the front boards just under the
lid, and to cover the tacks use a piece
of gimp and large headed nails, which
may be employed on the front of the
side uprights also.

They Won the Pool,

1t was certainly reprehensible, though
one cannot but smile ut the bold trick
played one night by half a dozen men
in Paris. These individuals rang at the
door Of a private house, and before the
servant could announce their arrival
the leader had donned an official scarf
and introduced himself as police COM
missioner, seized about $1,000 which
was lying on the table as stakes in q
game of poker, saying he would not
trouble the host and his guests to call
at the Office that evening, but would be
obliged If they would do so the next
morning. The commissioner" with
his escort, politely departed. When
the players dutifully called at the Of
flee the next day, their visit created
visible surprise, and they learned, to
their disgust, that this police commits.
sioner Of the night before had tricked
them and their $1,000 had been car
ried Off by a gang of thieves. So much
for playing poker and having an un-
easy conscience!-Boston Herald.

An Easy Word.

This is what happened to a Glasgow
workingman when he tried to make
his wife's home life happy by reading
the police news to her as contained In
his evening paper. In due course he
reached an interesting trial for as

as follows:
'This case was held over until to-
morrow, as the presiding magistrate
said he found considerable difficulty
in pronouncing sentence"

THE HIPPOCRATIAN OATH.
What Every Conscientious Physician
Undertakes to Do.

"First and last, day and night, he
who has given himself to the cause of
medicine sees the most sOrdid, the most
terrifying, the most pitiful, side of hui
mainly" says writer in Appleton's
Magazine. His training is in the
slums, where the elements of life may
touch even the lowest and basest. His
service is demanded in sickness and
pain, and his final act, as irrevOcably
as the rising of the sun, is to close the
eyes forever of others, even perhaps
those whom he brought into the world.
He is the possessor of secrets, the re-
pOsitory of sorrow.
Unto whatever house l enter
will go for the benefit Of the sick.
With purity and holiness l will pass
my life and practice my art So ran
the oath administered by Hippocrates
to his students almost five centuries
before Christ. and so still stands today
the physicians ideal. Medicine then
partook Of character of holiness, for
the student, too swOre to reckon him
who taught me this art equally dear to
ue dS III! PaichlS' W iooh upon Ills oI-
spring in the same footing as my own
brothers and to teach them this art If
they shall wish 1t without fee or stipu-
lation.
Can any one today with an inkling
of the life of the disciple Of medicine
doubt that the spirit Of this ancient
oath is rigidly observed in It's practice,
or that. as Hippocrates dictated $500
years ago, Whatever in connection
with my professional practice or not in
life Of men which ought not to be
spoken abroad will not divulge, as
reckoning all that should be kept Sc

Hint on Laying Out a Suburb.

"A striking instance of how the beau
tses OF nature may be preserved in the
. laying out of a suburb is shown in the
= western part Of Oak Park in the little
street known as Elizabeth court. When
that section of Chicago first was built
up it contained many fine oak trees,
two OF which stood directly in the line
of the thoroughfare as it was project
ed from North Home avenue to North
Kenflworth. The old poem "Woodman,
Spare That Tree" appealed to the own
ers of the tract, and consequently the
'oaks were left standing in the middle
of the street, the driveways winding
about their bases in the best manner
possible. Since that day the trees have
grown and tlourished and lend unique
attraction to the height orb BOD.

A Bit of Advice.

This is bit of advice offered by the
Gunnison Gazette:
Young man, if you should come
across a girl who, with face as ra-
diant as a sunflower, says as you ap-
pear at the door, 81 will be busy for
half an hour yet, for the dishes are not
washed" just squat right down on the
doorstep and wait for her, because
some other chap may come along and
secure the prize, and right there you
will have lost an angel.

NEW STAGE GOWN.
Costume Worn by Mrs. Langtry In "A
Fearful Joy."

AS all women know who know any
thing at all about the origin Of fash
ions, the French couturieres try" their
new creations on actresses first, nota-
bly, in their stage gowns in plays Of
the present period.
Mrs. Langtry's gowns designed for
her by Partisan mOdistes for her part
Of Mrs. Arundel In "a Fearful Joy"
are some Of them quite wonderful, and
all will be copied and in due time ap-
pear in different materials in this coun-
try.
These robes are rich in gold and bold
embroideries on thin silks and filmy
chiffons, and they also embody both
the empire effects and the serpentine
swathing Of folds about the figure.
They also show wide sleeves that
sweep pelerine fashion to the center Of
the shoulders and are caught at that
point with golden tassels and depend
ing cords.
In the first act Of "a Fearful Joy"
Mrs. Langtry wore the evening frock

Nature and wOman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and etfica-
cious than any combination OF drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"FQr twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time 1 had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re.
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.

WAX HATPINS.

The latest craze in the hatpin line
are those made of plain, ordinary.
everyday sealing wax. In London
last year nearly every girl was maxi
ing sealing-wax hatpins and this year
the fad has reached America. Al
though simple to make, when finish
ed the hatpins are as beautiful and
attractive as those costing many dol
lars. All the materials necessary to
make hatpin are few sticks of
perfumed scaling wax, costing 5
cents a stick; a small wax taper or
alcohol lamp, a penny hatpin and a
glass of water. Choose a stick of
wax of the color desired for the foun-
dation color. Hold the end over the
flame until the wax is soft enough to
drop, then dot onto the hatpin head.
When the pin is fairly covered hold
over the flame, revolving so that the
wax will not drop, and the hatpin
will retain its shape. If an odd
shape is required, it may be done by
molding while wax is soft
When you have. the desired shape
and size, cool by dipping in cold wa
ter and wipe dry.
In finishing select about three
other colors and put few dots of
each color on the pin head; then
heat. revolving continually. By care
full manipulation, the wax. when
warm. can be made to flow around
the pin head and form pretty stripes
and designs. Cooi as before in water
and pass once more over the flame
to gain the luster, and you will have
a charming pin of your own design.
For Christmas presents one can
make these pins in variety of Shapes
and colors.
