NO MOLLYCODDLES
IN !. N. Ca, TAFT
ASSURES WORKERS
In Speech to Colored Men He
Praises Work of
Organization.

Young Mems Christian Association
circles are rejoicing today over the vim
dication of their work and influence by
President Taft, who, in an address yes
terday. earnestly championed the Y. M.
c. A. and denied that 1t makes molly
coddles." The President spoke before
the colored branch Of the Young Mems
Christian Association.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion," said the President. has reduced
to a science the taking Of homeless
young men offering them an attractive
Christian club, in which all the in
fuences are gooI. in which there Is
scftening, enervattng influence, but ev-
erything tending to vigorous manhood,
and everything tending to restrain
young men from denoralizing vices and
practices"
The Presidents defense Of the Y. NJ.
c. A. was taken by some as 2 specific
refutation of the assertion of Prof. Will
lam Steiner, Of Grinnell College. Iowa,
who spoke here at the Y. NJ. c. A con-
vention two months ago, saying that
the membership included too many
''mollycoddles'' and too many kid
glove" young men.
Besides the President there sat on the
stage the secretary Of the FRENCH emf
bassy and NJ. J. Brady and NJ Umilere
Duval. deputies from Haiti in the boun-
dary dispute between that country and
Santo Domingo. DR.. ]. f. Moorland, in
ternat ional secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A.
escorted the President to the platform.
Lewis E. johnson. secretsry Of the
new Y. NJ: c. A, was president OF the
meeting He reported that $4,000 had
been raised Of a $1,000 fund. which is
necessary to obtain a $4,000 gift to-
ward Y. NJ. C. A. building by Julius

New York Collector Said to
Lead Race for Haitian
Post.

That Collector Of Internal Revenue
Charles Anderson of New York is now
in the lead for the appointment of min
lister to Haiti to succeed Minister Fur
Miss. tbs the gossip that Is going the
rounds among the negro politicians In
Washington.
This position has stirred up quite as
much commotion among the negro poll
ticians here and elsewhere as did the
appointment of Lewis to be Assistant
Attorney General. The former Register
Of the Treasury, W. T. Vernon, Of Kan
sas, Is an active candidate for the place.
But it is understood now that Vernon will
probably not be appointed. Senator Cur
tbs of Kansas wants him named, but
Senator Bristow and the other Kansas
insurgents do not. Moreover, II is said
the appointment of Vernon would please
neither the Booker. Washington follow
ing nor the group opposed to DR.. Wash
ington.
Others mentioned for the Haiti ap::
pointment are Prof. Kelly Miller. of
Howard University, here, and w. E. B.

Fifth Precinct Police
See Joke in Suicide"

Ever time any Of the men in the Fifth
precinct look at a little bottle and
stained note picked up In the Eastern
branch yesterday. they say we're
wise" and pass up the mystery of the
bottle, for, you see, the men of the Fifth
ore some sleuths.
The note in the bottle purports to
tell of the suicide of mysterious Thorn
as Moore, who like his poetic namesake,
had trouble with the smiles of women,
and unlike his namesake drowned them
in the Potomac.
The bottle and note were handed to
Policeman Garfield yesterday after 1t
was found. The note dated February,
1896, reads:
This bottle was thrown over at In
dian Head. 1 committed suicide because
of disappointment in marriage affairs"
But the foxy police saw the note was
written on a navy quartermaster' S
blank, which bore the date 1871. and
they figure the whole thing was an at
tempt to put one over" on them.

FOR TAILORED SKIRTS.

If you would profit by the example
of French t~ailors, you will order sep
arate skirts of one of the following
materials:
First. a double-faced cloth that has
leaped into important place Is being
used. 1t practically trims itself and
will be very popular for this economi-
cal reason.
Then there are cheviots and serges
for lightweight models, and all colors
are in vogue, the neutral shades and
dark blue leading.
Heavy fancy suitings are very popu-
lar. The English tweeds and mixed
suitings are having a tremendous ia
voritism shown them by the leading
houses.
Tailored skirts are not so straight in
outline, many showing slashed effects
at the side, and all are made walking
length.
Some have a slightly raised waist
band. SO that no belt is needed, while
others show a normal line, with a
stitched band attached to the skirt. On
others a back panel is attached with a
modified front edge that extends
toward the front. thus forming a belt
or girdle.

Plaster of Paris Pictures.

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know how to make
pictures Of plaster paris, and also IL you
must mix plaster paris and so forth?
Thanking you in advance, 1 remain,
d. S. L.
To a small quantity of plaster of paris
add a little cold water and keep stir
ring it every second. If you don't 1t
will harden. Add water and plaster OF
paris alternately until you ave the de-
sired amount, and the solution is about
the consistency of a thin cake batter.
Before making the plaster of paris solu-
ton, have the picture arranged in the
following way: Wet the face of he
picture thoroughly with cold water.
Turn it face do inward on a platter.
Be sure hat it is pressed down thor
oughly at all points. Remove all the
moisture from the sides of the platter
with a rag. AS soon as the plaster of
paris is ready pour it into the platter
containing the picture. If you wish to
put in a tnpe as a hanger pour about
half the plaster on the plate, put on the
tape and then pour in the remainder OF
the plaster. Let it stand for about an
hour and a half. BY the end of that
time 1t will not adhere to the plate.
