COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY.

President Miller and D. M. Webster
Give Facts About Amalsamation.
The subject for discussion at the
April meeting Of the Cosmopolitan So
ciety in Brooklyn was the BLENDING
Of Japhetic and Hamitic Blood In the
Southern States" President George
Frazier Miller presided and in the
course of his Introductory remarks
cited many cases of which he knew
in Charleston, 8. O., New Orleans and
other southern cities where amalga-
nation has been practical for genera
lions and exhibited over fifty photo
graphs showing the various types of
progenic amalgamation, which varied
from the Indian to the blue eyed An
glo-Saxon type. He told Of family
In Charleston where one brother was
white and the other ,colored, and yet
the family recognizes each of them.
Counselor d. M. Webster, the next
speaker, said that at the close Of the
war there were 100000 of known
colored people and thousands whose
identity has never been accurately re-
corded. This question of color, said
he, is no longer confined to the south.
The north is becoming more and more
intensified each day. Especially is
this condition seen In Boston, the very
cradle Of liberty and justice.
The tendency to cater to the preju-
dice of the south in public places has
increased with alarming rapidity.
New York is the largest southern city
In this country, and it's influence as
such is plainly seen and felt. There
are more southern people In New
York than any other city in the
United States. and they have brought
their hysterical prejudices with them.
While the, arts. etc. have been more
highly developed by the lighter races.
to the darker races belong poetry, mu-
sic and spirituality. r,.ar - -

leading spirit in the early activities Of
the church, was at one time elected to
the bishopric, but declined the Office.
The church grew in numbers and

treatment they receive at the hands
of their superior officers. 1t is sup
posed that these petty officers want
their white friends and the man

Negro walters. Since this is known
fact it appears that the white officers
have objected to the good service as
formerly "laid down" by the Negroes.
and are using any schemes to have
the most possible service which will
in time hurt the colored boys. OF
course this is done without Mr..

know of this condition, only COM

on the outside. If the walters OF our

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB
ScRIBER?

A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts on what
constitutes subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that a
man who received the paper, although
he never subscribed for it, is entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved,
and William Robinson took imme-
date possession, and received and &C
copied a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently, but no at
tention was paid to them by Mr.. Rob
inson. Finally there was a day, OF
reckoning Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he informed
the collector. but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for it. The Judge personally ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and made use of it and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper
Judgment was rendered in favor Of
the newspaper. ....
The Judge was severe in his criti-
cism of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think it worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use Of it as an act of dishon-
esty, he said one should acquaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receives.-X.

outdoor athletics for women will be
turned during the present week upon
the links of the Balustrol Golf Club
Here, beginning today and continuing
throughout the week, will be held the

championship of the United States
Golf Association and it is safe to say
that never before has such deep and
widespread interest been manifested
in this great annual event, the crown
ing contest of the season in the field
Iof feminine athletics. An important
factor in arousing in the highest de-
gree, popular interest in this years

Miss Dorothy Campbell, of Hamilton,
Ont, at present acknowledged to be
the foremost woman golfer Of the
world. Miss Campbell, who already
held the British championship, came
to this country last fall and annexed

Face Peeling Easy
Blonde or Brunette

1.-THE blondes complexion fades
early, because her skin is extraordi-
narily thin and fine says MINNIE. Lima
Cavalieri, perhaps the most famous
living beauty. THE brunette's as q
rule, is the reverse. The skin is
thicker and has tendency to an oily
appearance"
For either the faded blondes skin
or the brunette's oily or sallow COM
plexion, the best known remedy is or
binary mercolized wax. Used daily,
this will give one an entirely new COM
plexion within about a weeks time.
The wax gradually absorbs the worn
out surface skin, with all it's defects, a
little each day, without affecting the
delicate underskin in the least. The
latter will have the exquisitely beauti-
full glow of youth-indeed, one may
readily lose ten or fifteen years from
her age, so far as appearance goes. by
course of this simple treatment.
Mercolized wax, securable at. any
drug store, is applied like cold cream.

WOMEN CONFIDENT
Election Tuesday Settles Suf-
frage Question.
(National News Association


SAN FRANCISCO. Oct S.-On the
eve of tomorrow's general election.
following the close of one of the most
remarkable campaigns in the history
of this State, the women of California
are confident OF the victory OF their
cause at the polls tomorrow For many
weeks they have kept up the agitation
in favor of woman's suffrage. and with
remarkable energy and ability they
have conducted their Statewide cam
paign against big odds and despite
the powerful influences which the op-
position brought to bear upon the cam
paign. Argumentive literature in fav-
or of woman's suffrage was scattered
broadcast over the whole state of Cal
ifornia; suffrage orators travelled
from one end of the state to the 9th
er, addressing meetings in the inter
est of the women's cause; the church
es, womens societies and even the
school children were enlisted in be-
half of the momentous suffrage Ques'
ton and nothing was neglected that
seemed to offer even the remotest
promise of furthering the cause OF
suffrage.
Now the exciting work Of the cam
paign is ended and both sides to the
great suffrage question are resting on
their guns, eagerly awaiting the de-
cisive battle at the polls tomorrow
which will settle once and for all
whether the women of California shall
be the political equals of the man or
not. The advocates of woman's sui
frage, although admitting that they
shall have to contend against strong
opposition, express themselves conf
dent of victory. They believe that the
strenuous work of their campaign was
no means wasted but that it caused
the conversion of thousands of vot
ers heretofore prejudiced against wo
mans suffrage.
The woman's suffrage amendment
to the Constitution, it is true, is by faI
the most important of the twenty OF
more constitutional amendments te
be vaoted on at tomorrow election
but there are several among then
on the part of the voters. Although the
other amendments have received less
consideration during the past cam
paign, some of them are really more
| important than the woman suffrage
amendment. Among them is an am
endment which provides for the initia
tive and referendum in state legisla
ton. Other amendments provide fol
| the recall of the elective officers o.
| the state; for county charters ant
county home-rule; for eliminating
technical errors as ground for re
versal in criminal cases; for direc
} legislation; enlargement of the pow
ers of the railroad commission; thu
abolition of justice courts; for the in
! clusion of judges of the district courts
of appeals among those state Officers
