Needham, Pastor, corner 19th and McGee trusts, is a very worthy mission effort to spread what Mr. Needham terms the new doctrine of imortality in the flesh heaven on earth, and eternal life to enjoy it. It also includes deliverance from from sickness and death, through our Lord Jesus Christ and the indwelling Savior of the body. Mr. Neeham whatever may be said of his pecular views, viewed in the light of present beliefpro claims his doctrines with zeal and earnestness. We have never met a man ter equipped on biblical matters, no any one who from memory could quote scripture more accurately. He is a write by no means to be despised. And the strong part of it is he does all of his literary work at his shoe bench, in the midst of his daily toil, as the inspiration to write comes. He is a true believer in humanity regardless of name or color. While we may not be able to accept that Brother Needman proclaims yet we cheerfully concede that as a friend to humanity his mission is to do good, and point men and women to a better existence as he sees it from the Bible. Miss Ollie Martin, one of our Western beautiful theatrical lights will appear with the famous colored company of negro performers of Williams and Walker, one week, commencing Sunday. Jan 7th, at the Orpheum Theater on west 9th, street. This is the first appearance of the noted Williams and Walker in the west, also the first appearance of Miss Martin, who has been abent from this city seven years touring the East with different Theatrical companies. Her appearance here will be hailed with delight. She is remembered here by all as a very charming and petite young lady who has by her own exertions made a success on the stage. The AMERICAN CITIZEN of Dec. 29th., contained a general write up of datingsushed negroes, and some several prominent white republicans of Wyandott county. The issue bri tles and sparkles with news this week. Manager Dudley and his corp of able assistants deserve much credit for the effort. The AMERICAN CITIZEN is an able and worthy organ and mouth-piece of the race.

All the world's a stage men and women players; Negroes too make up the number and in life's many parts being played the theatrical stage is destin'd the future, as in the past, to be influenced by africa's soils and daughters to whose failures or triumphs we owe in a great measure the condition of the stage in the United States today. For evidence we have but to turn to the record of misstrelsy. Will greater exponents of our time, in that line be ever born than Kersands, the Huuns, McIntosh and others of the Georgia's Havely's Callenders? Whose imitators have represented minstrelsy, down to the present age of Ragtime, which now permeats the realms of comedy to the legitimate, But 'tis rather to the Legitimate particularly the Drama, that we, as a race, may look forward to as a possible great factor in helping to solve in a perhaps seemingly peculiar day the great negro problem. If you would stop to think it over, you would soon erceive the tremendous possibilities still more stupendous undertaking suggested by the vivid portrayals of the Drama. The Drama which found its origin in the religious ceremonies of a people whose emotions stirred within them a power that ruled Empires and those peoplewore a back skin. You will readily perceive that I am a strong-advocate of the drama an inspiring aspiration that leads to great and noble acts. Here I must vie with the popular actor that remarked that there is something more in the drama than entertain. It portrays the deepest emoons, pictures the most important experience of life which is more than nursing people. It also stirs people as much as a y great poem or painting, and thrills them adeeply as the most heroic spectacleuld do in real life. To the negro who hits the drama his mission his ambition isoling something that is also helpingeducate his people. It is then morean intertiting it as a spiritual and mental experience and has the sameeffect on people though in a less degreeas it were actual and not imaginary. The possibilities of the drama are undoubtedly limitless, and we cannot be too men or over enthusiastic in its advancement in its highest form. (Comme Jouanssussi artiste de Theatre) I knowwheof I speak. There is power to convertthrough the stage more powerfulthan many of the hypocracies of some churches ineffective formalities. Muchgood can be done the race bypursuance of an art whose doors are asy, like many other vocationsin this country, are closed to the negro Motor this we'll speak anon, to well we know how important a part the negro has played upon the boards as well as in civil life, from Aldridge to Doc Brown. In this profession as in others he must climb. Some white brother once remamed that the negro's ambition was like the monkey's to mitate. He might have added, and to climb, and we will keep on climbing until we reach the top of all vocations that helps to lead to the kingdom of the earth's nations. SUBSTITUTE FOR PLATINUM. For Inandescent Lamps Nickel Steel May Serve as Well. An important metallurgical discovery is reported by Industries and Iron. A few years ago a greatly increased demand or platinum was created by the invention of the incandescent electric lamp. In order to connect the carbon filament inside the globe with the copper wires outside, it was necessary to find a substance which would expand and contract with changes of temperature at precisely the same rate as the glass in which it was embedded. Platinum was the only material which seemed to meet the requirement. Therefore in all incandescent lamps two slender threads of this rare and costly metal have been used. But the supply of platinum has not kept pace with the demand, and fears have been expressed that a number of industries might be paralyzed in consequence. It is now asserted that for the particular purpose named another material has been found to be equally available. This an alloy of nickel and steel, in which the former metal constitutes 45 percent of the compound. L. C. Dumas, a Frenchman who is credited with the discovery, made a variety of tests with alloys of these two metals, in varying proportions. The results were very diverse, and, to one who is unfamiliar with such matters, surprising. Pure, unintermed steel has a rate of expansion only a trifle greater than that of glass and platinum. But if 23 per cent of nickel be added to it, the rate will be increased to that of brass, which is about double that of steel. With 37 per cent there is practically no expansion at all. But with 45 per cent of nickel the rate is close to that of glass AMERICAN KANSAS CITY KAN., FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1900. HIGH GRADE WORK.11 WULF'S Steam LAUNDRY FIFTH AND STATE AVENUE, H. F.

A special stage will be erected in the center of the hall building and every one will be able to see and hear. We as a race are possessed of much musical ability and will doubtless appreciate that fluence of the art represented by Paderwiski, the greatest of the world's pianists. Ladies or gentlemen desiring to accompany a select party for desirable seats, will please send names to ANDERSGN, American Citizen, 335 Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, Kas. The political pot has commenced boiling in Kansas City Mo. The outlook for an exceedingly warm campaign is bright, the multiplicity of candidates indicate the situation will be extremely complicated. The prediction bids fair that the hotest campaign in the history of the city is on. The first quarterly meeting of Rev. Andrew Berry, pastor of Porter Chapel, on 21st., and Summite st. occurred Sunday January 7th 1900. Rev. J. M. Brown the young, and aggressive Presiding Elder officiating the reports were quite good considering that it is a mission charge, the prosqect for this work is promising. The first issue of The American Citizen as a daily, under the new management will appear on Sunday January 14th 1900. We ask the support, and patronage of each one regardless to greed, or nationality. We shall do our best to give the public a paper in every respect, worthy the patronage of all. As a race enterprise it appeals to the sympathy and support of each one. In our write up in our issue of the 29th. in referring to Rev. Eias Henderson, was made to appear as the only son of his parents, whereas he was the only help of his parents at home. The appointment of Mr. Fred Gleed as deputy under Sheriff Mennenhal has been announced. While there were several applicants for the place, it is said that the name of the successful appointee had been agreed upon long since the appointment was made. We only regret the delay in the announcement; We congratulate Mr. Gleed is a worthy young mau. The idea of electing a President without having plenty of "buttons" is not to be thought of. It is a pity that some of the fellows peddling them do not better buttoned up. PRICE TWO CENTS of Country G OF THE RACE. THE MIDNIGHT VOW. BY LEON RHODES.

This lovely girl I met last May On a dark and dreary night— Months had passed ere she would say Yes, Let, make me your wife. 'Twas three o'clock she came to see— Why on her I had not called, That night she made a vow to me And my heart for her 'enthralled. A DISH OF CABBAGE AND QUAIL (BY LEON RHODES.)

A goat ranch has been established near Kingman. Ex-givernor L. D. Lewelling has been commissioned a notary pu blie. Williamsburg says her joints can't run any longer. Home-grown apples are selling in Kingman county at $1.50 a bushel. A Coolidge man lost $10 betting on the proposition that this is leap year. A temperance revival at Lincoln Center has netted 500 pledge signers. Antelopes are making their appearance in large droves in Western Kansas. Rockefeller is building a $20,000 house on his farm in Southwestern Kansas. A new telephone company recently formed in Atchison has 700 subscribers. There seems to be a few more pension attorneys than members of the Twentieth regiment. The chances are that the census will show that Kansas has more people now than she had in 1890. The season when the central committees feel the public pulse and make other touches is now advancing. The trust that is hardest on merchants according to the Arkansas City Traveler, is the trusting of dead beats. Owing to the sharp advance in the price of white paper, some of the Kansas papers are advancing the price of subscription. A Downs widow who was recently granted a pension of $5 a month received back pay to the amount of $1,260 Christmas week. The daughter of Mary Ellen Lease has been awarded a prize in New York for a drama called "Love Laughs at Spice Cakes." W. L. Hutchison, a member of the Twentieth Kansas, has returned to the firing line and will run a new Populist paper at Anthony. During December the Topeka postoffice sold stamps to the amount of $11,785, an increase of $1,200 over the same month in 1898. Kansas will be a good place to live in whether you believe this is the end of the nineteenth century or the beginning of the twentieth. The average yield of fruit in Kansas, according to the estimates of the secretary of the Horticultural society is worth $20,000,000. A Seneca girl who fell from a street car in Kansas City during the last Carnival has sued the company for $20,000 damages. The Mormon temple that is to be built in Attica will belong to a branch of the church that is opposed to the polygamous crowd. While being tried for insanity at Emporia, Charles A. Wicks addressed the court and said that he knew he was of unsound mind and that he ought to be in the asylum. He said he had spell in which he was unkind to his mother, and that the knowledge of this made him feel pretty bad. The jury took him at his word and sent him to Topeka for treatment. Peter Anderson, the Swede of Dickinson county who went to the Klondike and got great riches, has given $10,000 to a Swedish hospital in Chicago. It was in this hospital that Anderson met the young woman who joined him in California on his return from Dawson and became his bride. Hugh L. Strait, brother of Miss Stella Strait, register of deeds in Bourbon county, weut to Manila as a member of the Colorado regiment. On his return he found that a Cripple Creek mine in which he had a large interest had been yielding about $3,000 a week. Speaking of his good fortune a local paper says: "None but the brave deserve the ore." Five hundred cows are owned by the stockholders of the creamery now being built at Barnard; which ought to give it a big push toward success. A Coffey county farmer who is very sore on sportsmen who love the gun and dog and indulge in wing shooting occasionally, and who will "never allow any hunting on the place," sneaked about four dozen quails into town and sold them in violation of law one day recently. He traps and pots the birds when the snow renders them partially helpless, and his boys hunt on the lands of all his neighbors. The musical critic of Atchison complains because all of the songs are written about roses and maidens and love and trysting places and sunsets, and never about men. Coming to think of it, though, he remembers, "Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now," in which the old man gets drunk in the first verse. Kansas holds Oklahoma warrants to the amount of $43,000 for taking care of territorial convicts at the state penitentiary. Oklahoma has no "pen" and keeps her bad men at Lansing. Farmers in three Kansas counties—Reno, McPherson and Rice—produced half the broom corn raised west of the Missouri river. Their crop sold this year for nearly $200,000. Senator Baker has been asked to secure government aid in the protection of the banks of the Missouri river near Pope. The river has cut away several hundred acres of land and carried away a half dozen farm houses and a railroad station there within the last eight years. Sixty-three ears of Marshal county corn filled the bushel measure. It weighed $32\frac{1}{2}$ pounds. The combined length of the sixty-three ears was 879 inches or $73\frac{1}{2}$ feet. Visitors to the Paris exposition next year will see that bushel of corn in the Kansas department - Missouri Valley Farmer. TAGAL'S BARBARITY TAGAL'S BARBARITY RESCUE OF LIEUT. GILMORE AND PARTY. Neak From Hunger and Cruel Treatment the Crew of the Yorktown Entered Manila After Eight Months in Wild Filipino Campe. Manila.—Lieutenant J. C. Gilmore of the United States gunboat Yorktown, who was captured by the insurgents last April near Baler, on the coast of Luzon, and rescued a few days ago by Colonel Luther R. Hare of the Thirty-third volunteer infantry, sat Sunday in the apartment of his sister, Mrs. Major Price, at the Hotel Oriente, in Manila, and told a remarkable story of his eight months' captivity, ending with his dramatic deliverance from a death that seemed inevitable. The steamer Venus came into the harbor Saturday evening from Vigan, province of South Iloocs, with Lieutenant Gilmore and nineteen other American prisoners, including seven of his sailors from the Yorktown- LIEUT. J. C. GILLMORE. U. S. N. Lieutenant Gilmore, after reporting, came ashore and hobbled along, with the aid of a cane, to the Hotel Oriente, where American officers and ladies were waltzing through the halls to the strains of "Aguinaldo's March." Although tanned and ruddy from exposure, he is weak and nervous, showing the results of long hardships. He speaks warmly of Aguinaldo and very bitterly against General Tino, declaring that while in the former's jurisdiction he was treated splendidly but that after he fell into Tino's hands he suffered everything. When the rescuing force reached them they were nearly starved, but were building rafts in the hope of getting down the river to the coast. Lieutenant Gilmore made the following statements: "The Filipinos abandoned us on the night of December 16. We had reached the Abalut river near its source that morning, and the Filipinos rafted us over. We then went down stream, along a rough trail, guarded by a company of Filipinos." That night we were separated from this guard and another company, armed with Mausers, was put in charge of us. I suspected something and questioned the lieutenant in command. He said: "I have orders from General Tino to shoot you all, but my conscience forbids. I shall leave you here." "I begged him for two rifles to protect us from savages, adding that I would give him letters to the Americans, who would pay him well and keep him from all harm. He refused this, however, saying that he would not dare to comply. Soon afterward he left with his company. "We had seen some savages in war paint around us, and we prepared to fight them with cobble stones, the only weapons that were available to us. The next morning we followed the trail of the Filipino soldiers, feeling that it was better to stick to them than to be murdered by the savages, but we could not catch up with them. Then I ordered the men to build rafts in the hope of floating down the river. It was a forlorn hope, but I knew the river must empty into the sea somewhere. I was so weak myself that I did not expect to get out, but I thought some of the men could. "On the morning of December 18, while we were working on the rafts, the Americans came toward us yelling. One of my men shouted, 'They are on us.' He was lashing a raft of bamboos. I, however, knew it was not the yell of savages, but the yell of Americans. The rescuing troops thought we had Filipino guards and called to us in English to lie down, so that they could shoot the Filipinos. That was the finest body of officers and men I ever saw." Lieutenant Gilmore could not speak enthusiastically enough about the 140 picked men who had rescued him and his party. Corbett v. Jeffries Jim Jeffries and Jim Corbett will meet in a twenty-five round bout March 15 for the championship of the world. To Fight Chicago Sewage Canal.

Owed the Bank $113,065.93 Emporia, Kas.—The board of arbitrators in the case of Morton Albaugh, receiver of the First, National bank, vs. William Martindale, has made a report. They decided that Martindale, who was vice president of the defunct bank, owed the bank $113,065.93. This amount is more than the total of the Martindale estate, and there are other claims against Martindale which aggregate $100,000. The property is now in the hands of R. T. Battey of Florence, who is trustee, and is worth between $10,000 and $50,000. Paying Off Kansas Mortgagas Wichita, Kan.—A statement issued from the office of the register of deeds, Mr. Carnahan, shows the amount of mortgage released in Sedgwick county for the year 1899 to be $1,206,244.

Jackson, Miss.—The reading of Governor McLaurin's message in the legislature created quite a surprise when the section referring to the growth of Mormonism in Mississippi was reached.

NO EXTRA SESSION. Governor Stephens Has Changed His Mind. Jefferson City.—Governor Stephens has been considering the advisability of calling an extra session of the legislature to pass a law taxing franchises. He has asked members of the legislature for their opinion as to the advisability of doing so. A majority have replied that they are favorable to such legislation but said they did not believe the present legislature would pass a law to that end. For that reason the governor has given out the statement that he would not call an extra session. American Captives Mutilated. Manila.—Advices from Magalang, province of Pampanga, report that Captain Conhauser, with three companies of the Twenty-fifth regiment (negro) captured the insurgent stronghold Comanche, on Mount Arayat.

REPUBLICAN POLICY IS BEFORE THE SENATE Mr. Beveridge Introduces a Resolution Prepared by the Leaders of His Party —Secretary Gage to Be Investigated —Other Congressional News. Senator Beveridge of Indiana has introduced the following resolutions in the Senate: "That the Philippine islands are territory belonging to the United States; that it is the intention of the United States to retain them as such and to establish and maintain such government control throughout the archipelago as the situation may demand." It is known that Senator Beveridge's resolution on the Philippines was written by the Senator in consultation with Senator Lodge, chairman of the Philippine committee; Davis, chairman of the foreign relations committee, and Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, for the last named finally revised it to the form in which it was introduced. It is understood that the resolution is a composite expression of the views of the Republican Senators. Jan. 4. - In the Senate Mr. Aldric opened the discussion of the financial bill with the explanation of a substitute for the House bill. After Mr. Aldrich concluded the Senate adjourned until Monday. The Pettigrew resolution concerning the Philippine war went over until Monday. Senator Beveridge gave notice of a speech for Tuesday on the Philippine question, prefacing his notice with a resolution declaring his own position on the subject. A resolution was presented by Mr. Pettigrew, calling upon the secretary of the navy for the report of Admiral Dewey of April 13, 1898, in which the admiral said he could take Manila at any time. He asked immediate consideration, but Mr. Spooner objected and the resolution went over. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution which was adopted, reducing the mileage fees to be paid witnesses in cases before the Senate to $3 per day while in attendance and actual traveling expenses. This will reduce the amount for witnesses in the Clark case about one-half. Mr. Allen's resolution calling for correspondence between the treasury department and the National City bank and the Hanover National bank of New York was agreed to without modifications. The House session was very brief, the only incident being the adoption of the Sulzer resolution introduced yesterday calling upon Secretary Gage for all information regarding the deposit of government funds in certain New York national banks. Jan. 3. —The House was in session only fifteen minutes, and during the time had a little flurry over an attempt of Mr. Sulzer of New York to secure consideration for a resolution asking information concerning the relations of the treasury department with the National Bank of New York. The resolution was referred to the committee on ways and means. In the Senate a large number of important bills were introduced and a definite foundation laid for proceeding with the financial bill, by fixing the hour for beginning debate on this measure for 2 o'clock to-morrow. The most notable event of the day was a protest entered by Mr. Hour of Massachusetts, to the summary disposition of resolutions asking for information about the conduct of the Philippine war. He indicated a purpose to demand consideration for such measures, even at the expense of the financial bill. Founded the Chicago "Fair." Chicago.—Ernest J. Lehman, the founder of the Fair department store, and the first to put into execution in Chicago the department store idea, died at White Plains, N. Y.

A toy watch, about the size of a quarter, swallowed by Alma Todt, 3 years old, of 225 North Asland avenue, was located in the pit of her stomach or means of X rays. The watch would have caused death ultimately. The little girl is in a precarious condition and a surgical operation will be necessary to remove the timepiece. The little girl swallowed the watch while playing in the parlor of her home. She held it dangling from a chain, then placed it in her mouth. In some ray the fastening became loosened and she started coughing, forcing it down her throat—Chicago Chronicle. La Porte, Texas. The progress of the construction work at La Porte, Texas, the future great deep-water shipping point at the head of navigation on Galveston Bay on the Gulf of Mexico, is progressing favorably. The wharves and switching tracks are nearing completion and the work on the streets and on the sewerage and water systems is now under way. Mr. I. R. Holmes, the general manager of the La Porte Improvement Company and the La Porte Wharf and Channel Company, is personally superintending the improvements.

Whatever may be the opinion of France or of Europe on the subject of the war between England and the Transvaal, it is impossible not to notice the attitude of the entire British nation in face of the very serious check the British forces have experienced. The disaster at Ladysmith has not destroyed the nation's courage, and, what is more remarkable, the people have not lost their cunning. Far from seeking to embassas Lord Salisbury or overturn the government because of the disaster, all parties are united in support of the government, and ready to furnish means to insure victory.—Petit Parisien, Paris. The constantly increasing business of the B. & O. R. R. has necessitated very material additions to the telegraph service. During the past year nearly 2,000 miles of copper wire, 165 pounds to the mile, have been strung. New lines have been placed in service between Baltimore and Pittsburg, Baltimore and Parkersburg, Newark, O. to Chicago, Philadelphia to Newark, Philadelphia to Cumberland and Cumberland to Grafton. During the summer several of these wires were quadruplexed between Baltimore and Cumberland and duplexed west. Novel Scheme for Libraries Patrons of every public library realize the difficulty of obtaining the popular books of the day. It is impossible to meet the demand, even with a large increase in the number of copies purchased. A device, originating in the St. Louis library, and being copied in some other city libraries, is to put such books on a special list and to charge a fee of 5 cents a week for them. Wonders of the Locomotive The story of the locomotive sounds simple in the recital. The wonder of the thing comes into view only when one reflects on the speed and nicely with which cumbrous parts are made to do their duty. The piston and connecting bar of a modern locomotive weigh some 600 pounds. When the speed is sixty miles an hour these parts travel beak and forth five times in a second. return this coupon and three one cent stamps to the J. C.

Several Engagements in Which the Boors Came Out Victorious—Ladysmith Again Attacked—General French Reports a Repulse. London.—The British public is at last face to face with a critical moment in the campaign. It may safely be said that at no previous time have there been such anxious hours of suspense as will be passed until the arrival of further news regarding she fate of Ladysmith. Great Britain has to face the terrible possibility that the next news will be the fall of Ladysmith. The disquieting feature is that the Boers seem to have had sufficient forces to deter General Buller from attacking, while themselves making strenuous efforts to reduce the town. In the presence of this ominous situation even General French's disaster, of which apparently the worst has not yet been heard, assumes quite minor importance in the eyes of the public. The war office publishes the following dispatch from General Forestier-Walker, commanding at Cape Town: "General French reports under date of January 6: 'The situation is much the same as yesterday, but I regret to report that a serious accident has happened to the first battalion of the Suffolk regiment.' "From news just come to hand from them I gather that, with the authority and with the knowledge of General French, four companies of the First battalion advanced by night against a low hill one mile from their camp. They attacked at dawn. Lieutenant Colonel Watson, commanding, gave orders to charge. He was at once wounded. Orders for retirement were given. "Three-quarters of the force retreated to camp. The remainder held their ground until they were overpowered by greater numbers, when they surrendered. Seventy were taken prisoners, including seven officers. "General French reports that the Boer commando which made the attack on January 4 lost fifty killed besides wounded and prisoners. The commando was dispersed." General Buller has wired the war office the following, dated January 6, from Frere Camp: "The following message 'received from General White: 'Attack continues and enemy has been reinforced from the south.'" "The following was received at 4 this afternoon from General White: 'Have beaten enemy off at present, but they are still around me in great numbers, especially to the south, and I think renewed attack very probable.'" "The sun has failed and I cannot get further information from Ladysmith until to-morrow." London.—A special dispatch from Frere Camp, dated Saturday, January 6, says: "At 2 o'clock this afternoon the whole of General Clery's division marched out of camp to attack Colenso. The attack was slowly developed and at 4:30 the British field guns advanced on the center and commenced shelling the Boer positions on the flat land between Hlanwane hill and Fort Wylie. "About this time a heavy thunderstorm raged over the enemy's positions. "At 5:30 our troops were still advancing and had reached a point very near Colenso. The neval 4.7 and field guns were busily dropping shells into the enemy's trenches along the river and the forts of the enemy had made no reply." London—The war office has received the following dispatch from Colonel Baden-Powell, dated Mafeking, December 16. "We attacked one of the enemy's works this morning, endeavoring to push back the cordon northward. Our force consisted of three guns, two squadrons of the Protectorate regiment, one of the Bechuanaland rifles, armored train, etc. The enemy had strengthened their works during the night and doubled their garrison since yesterday's reconnoisance. "Nevertheless, our attack was carried out and pressed home with the greatest possible gallantry and steadiness, under a very hot fire. But all efforts to gain the interior by escalade failed, the fort being practically impugnable. "Our attack only withdrew after six of our officers and a large number of men had been hit. Nothing could have exceeded the courage and dash displayed. "The general situation remains unchanged and the health and spirits of the garrison are very satisfactory. "I regret to report 21 killed and 24 wounded." $200,000 More for Cooper Institute. New York.—Abram S.
