It can be truly said without fear or favor or successful contradiction that Alderman Julius Goldzier has made for himself during his long residence in this city a name which has become a tower of strength and greatness among his fellow men. As a lawyer, Mr. Goldzier has no superior and very few equals. He has ever been found on the right side of all questions which affect the interests of the common people. His friendship for the Afro-American race has been displayed in many ways while he was a member of Congress. He openly and above board championed their rights and cause, and while serving in that body he made a brilliant record for himself and earned the reputation of being the uncompromising foe of the plutocratic class who are in favor of trampling under their feet the rights of the masses. In every way Mr. Goldzier is amply fitted and equipped to perform all the duties of State's Attorney and we varily believe that he will be elected to that office. During these series of articles it has been observed that more than six hundred thousand Democrats fought on the side of the Union; that many of the best and greatest generals in the Union army were Democrats; that Lyman Trumbull, author of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States and the "Civil Rights Bill" was born and rocked in the cradle of Democracy and died in the same faith; that Stephen A. Douglas, Ex-President Martin Van Buern, John P. Hale, David Wilmont, author of the Wilmont Proviso and many other Democratic statesmen assisted in restoring peace between the northern and the southern people. We have further observed that whenever any measure came up in either branch of Congress which intended to redound to the benefit of the Negro. All such measures have always received support from some of the Democratic members of that law making body which it is a well known fact that many Republicans have refused to vote for measures which were enacted for the advancement of the Negro. That the United States Supreme Court composed of all Republicans pronounced the "Civil Rights Bill" unconstitutional and the same Republican Supreme Court declared that the Jim Crow car law was constitutional: that from the time the Supreme court ruled against the Civil Rirghts bill no leader of the Republican party in either the upper or the lower house have introduced one measure which was intended to benefit the Negro. That Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley, Gen. John M. Palmer and many other great historical characters and leaders of the anti-slavery cause or movement expired withint the arms of the Democratic party. That James G. Blaine, the plumed knight of Maine, who ran for President of the United States in 1884 absolutely refused to receive a delegation of prominent colored men while he was stopping at the Fifth avenue hotel in New York city; that in 1896, William J. Bryan, the new Thomas Jegerson, was nominated for the Presidency by the great Democratic party, and while that fearless champion of the rights of the toiling millions was tarrying at the Auditorium in Chicago a delegation of Afro-American Democrats called to pay their respects to Col. Bryan, and the great leader of the new Democracy received them with open arms. In moving on it has been further observed that during the administration of Grover Cleveland more colored men passed the civil service examination and were assigned to duty, during his reign than there were under any of his Republican predecessors; that President Cleveland was the first President to appoint a Negor as Minister to a white Republic; or to select a Negro to discharge the duties of postmaster north of the Mason and Dixon line; that under his two administrations less Negroes were mobbed and lynched and crimes against them greatly decreased throughout all parts of the country. With all the foregoing facts before us how can any intelligent Negro permit any person to instill the idea into his mind that the leaders of the Democratic party are in the possession of all the vices, while on the other hand the leaders of the Republican party possess all the virtues. Is it not as patent as the noon-day sun that the great majority of the leaders of the Republican party are not interested in the future welfare of the Negro any further than to utilize him to further their own political aspirations? No one who is familiar with the past history of the Republican party and its leaders can brush aside these assertions. Let us in concluding turn for a few moments to the far South and see what the leaders of the Democratic party are doing for the Negro-in doing so we will quote from a series of articles which have been contributed to the press by Attorney J. N. Johnson of Texas, entitled, "Justice to both the HEW TO THE LINE. Negroes and the whites." Mr. Johnson is a Negro, and he is and always has been a very strong Republican therefore his utterances are worthy of our serious consideration. "There are men in the Democratic party who can always be depended on to raise their voices in behalf of the Negro. Every Southern state has them by hundreds and I suppose northern states too. The writer is best acquainted in his own state, Texas, and no set of circumstances could prevent me from giving all whites due credit for what they do for the colored man. Congressman Sayers, now Governor of Texas, Ex-Congressman Pendleton Hutcheson and Stewart, E-Governor Ireland, Ross and Hogg, Judge John Henderson of the Supreme Court of Appeals, some of whom lost a limb in the rebel army are Democrats of the first water, but are and have been ever ready to give ear to Negroes' complaints and aid their real interests. I will tell you something of these men. Major Sayers, Capt. Hutcheson and the late Charles Stewart, his law partner and predecessor, were champions for Negro defense in the courts of Texas. Major Sayers placed over a dozen Negro Republicans of Texas in positions in Washington where they could and did quality themselves in the professions of medicine and law, and who did not even ask those same men to vote for him or work for him. Major Sayers and Gov. Pendleton put them in, and they were the first and only Texas Negroes getting appointments in Washington since the days of our creation and Major Sayers as head of a committee in a Democratic congress favored a large appropriation to the Howard University Law School, to enable Negro lawyers to train free at government expenses, and when the same appropriation hung fire in the Republican house 54th congress, openly espoused it by the speech of his life, and willingly accepted the designation of champion of Negro rights, and won. The late Gov. Ireland and Ex-Gov. Ross, while governor, were ready to receive, reason with, and aid the colored citizens and to pardon and commute sentences of Negro prisoners in proper cases. Is this the kind of Democrats to oppose? None of these men have received colored votes against Republicans. I do know, however, that men occupying Republican seats in congress today who were elected on Democratic votes, the said Democrats voting for Republican congressmen while Republicans voted for local Democracy. I also know that Negro Republican managers and white ones too have arranged combinations in localities to further the interests of said leaders that were openly and clearly against the interests of the colored man in those places." Mr. Johnson also says: "It is the duty of the Negro to link his fortunes with the best people residing in their respective communities, and by so doing it will have the effect of setting at rest the cry of Negro rule, and the Negro must be educated up to defend his rights intelligently with a single eye to his own real interests and all will be well." If the Negro will only do this—obey all the laws of the land—conduct himself like a good moral and upright citizen, then, so far as he is concerned mob and lynch law and all forms of lawlessness will disappear from our beautiful shores as silently and as noiselessly as the peaceful river which flows on, and on, between its banks without a murmur into the waveless sea. Lastly and finally we still maintain that there is no logical reason why the Negro should solidly aline himself with the Republican party, therefore we most earnestly beseech the Negro to blot from his memory all the old musty traditions of the past respecting the Democratic and the Republican parties and let us affiliate with THE NEW DEMOCRACY, with the names of the immortal Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley and William Jennings Bryan, emblazoned upon its banner, stands with extended hands and open arms, ready and willing to receive you, and inviting you to tread the pathway of human progress by her side. THE NEW DEMOCRACY desires that you should become intelligent and study the public questions of the day and act freely and conscientiously thereon. THE NEW DEMOCRACY claims you as her child and brother; your home is with her children, your songs, your tears, and your joys, have for generations been mingled with hers, and at last your dust will be consigned to mother earth, side by side with the sons and daughters of this NEW DEMOCRACY to wait the unknown events of time and eternity. Then let us, my brethren, grasp the golden chain, which encircles the universe and let us dedicate our strength anew for the cause of liberty and justice, and at last: There shall come a time when brotherhood shows stronger than the narrow bonds which now distract the world, when cannons roar and trumpets blear no longer, when ironclads rust and battle flags are furled, when the bars of creed and speech and race which sever shall be fused in one humanity forever. THE END. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Before the Broad Ax again makes its appearance the great Presidential contest of 1900, which is drawing to a close, will have been fought and won, and passed into history, and from present indications from all over this broad land we have every reason to believe that the plain people, under the leadership of that matchless states man, William Jennings Bryan, will be victorious, Tuesday, November the 6th, and that the favored few who own and control the great trusts, monopolies, all the money, and the banking institutions, who are being lead by Mark Hanna, who is the inveterate foe of those who earn an honest living by the sweat of their brows will be overthrown, put to flight and defeated. As the campaign progressed the leaders of the Republican party, have endevored to poison the minds of the colored voters by making them believe that Col. Bryan was unfriendly to the Negro but the Colonel has on many occasions expressed his friendship for the colored race and he has said, while addressing many Afro-Americans that he "appreciated the support, so far given him by the Negro and in case he is elected President of the United States he has promised to protect the "rights of all citizens of this country, regardless of color, creed or condition" and knowing Colonel Bryan for a long time we know that he will never fail to discharge his duty in dealing with the Negro. The same thing can be said in favor of Samuel Alschuler, who will be the next governor of Illinois, for it is our honest opinion that he, M. F. Dunlap, James Todd and the remainder of the state ticket and the entire Democratic ticket of Cook county, will sweep the state and country from end to end, and on the morning after the election the bright lights of Democracy will blaze forth from every mountain and hill top throughout the republic, and Bryan and Stevenson at the masthead of Democracy and the common people will again assume control of this government on the 4th day of March, 1901. Rollin B. Organ, candidate for president of the board of county commissioners has no superior as an upright and clean busines man and right here we want to say that all voters who contemplate in voting for Mr. Organ can give him two votes, one for president of the board of county commissioners and the other for county commissioner. Mr. Organ is highly endorsed by the municipal reform league and kindred organizations and we believe he will be successful on the day of the election. M. J. Butler the next state senator from the 4th senatorial district addressed the colored Democratic meeting which was held at Douglas League Hall, 51st and Dearborn Sts., Tuesday evening and he made a good impression on those present and it is safe to say that Mr. Butler will receive a good sized vote from the colored people and many of them know that he is their friend and is bound to be elected. THAT PROSPERITY PARADE. We are informed that some of the colored ex-officers of the 8th regiment are up in arms because of a banner displayed during last Saturday's parade by colored Democrats, bearing the inscription "Negro Soldiers Can't Fight Without White Officers." This reminder of what Roosevelt said of Negro officers in Scribner's magazine stung them to the quick. No wonder they are sore. The inscription on that banner was enough to make every black Spanish war veteran blush with shame at his presence in that parade. What did you thing of it Marshall, Jackson, Dennison, Van Pelt, as you rode by and read that damnable insult offered by oyur vice-presidential candidate? When the war broke out you were among the first to tender your services to the nation. You left wife and children, home and business, and risked life and health for your country's honor. Had opportunity presented itself there is no doubt that you would have added new luster to the fame of the black soldier. You would have fought as bravely, you would have led as gallantly as any man who ever wore a shoulder strap. You would not have been without inspiration, too, from those of kindred blood. The example of a Hannibal crossing the Alps, a Toussaint L'Overture baffling with his generalship the military genius of France, a Crispus Altucks leading the Boston mob, a menelek the first to break an English square, would have spurred you to noble deeds. The most striking thing in connection with the affair, however, is the number of Negroes who appeared as apologists for this mouthy blatherskite, Roosevelt. There are Negroes among us, too, who even deny the existence of the article charged to Roosevelt. For the benefit of those doubters we suggest that they go to the Public library and ask for the bound volume of Scribner's magazine, containing the April No. for 1899, and read Roosevelt's article on the Rough Riders, page 436. Negro ex-officers, your presence in that parade was rediculous. SPEECH DELIVERED BY THOMAS J Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: I am proud to have the pleasure of addressing you this evening on such an important question, which confronts us in this campaign. I am not a grand stand orator that is going to do dramatic politics in order to have some camera fiend take a snap shot at me and put my picture in some paper, as the hour is late I will have to telescope my speech and I am so used to playing peak-a-boo with the trusts that when it comes to talking I am the greatest acrobat at that business in the world. In this enlightened age of benevolent assimilation monetary progress government by injunction intimidation and Coercion it keeps a man busy guessing wheather he is a coal miner or a canary bird, with their Porto Rican and their Cuban postoffice trickans, their Filipipnos and their Tulaeaas, their Jolapolas, and their Sulus its no wonder Smith left home; that is enough to make any decent Republican leave home. Hanna, Hay McKinley & Co. (limited) through their agents went to Aguinaldo and asked him what he was looking for. He said we want to form a government of our own shaped after the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. He says we are Christians, here we have our schools and churches, there is a record kept of all lands, births and marriages and has been for the past hundred years. They gave him benevolent assimilation by injecting lead pills into all his people that they could catch. They then went to the Sulu Islands and saw the Sultan they asked him what he wanted. He said, I want you and your trusts to keep away from here. You can't build factorys here and put American modern machinery in them and get my slaves to work in them at ten cents a day, the same as you intend to do with the Filipinos, because there are 140 of those islands NO. 2. and all the tribes on them talk different languages so you see they would get busted. They asked him what he did. "Oh! said he, polygamy reigns supreme on all these islands. I have 36 wives there is another geezer over on that island has got 15 wives and we have a grand old time." They asked him how much he would take and hoist the flag. They pay the following salary to the sultan: $250 to Dato Rajah Muda; $75, to Dato Attik; $60, to Dato Calbi; $75, to Dato Joakanain; $75, Dato Puyo; $60, to Dato Amer Hussin; $60, to Hadji Butu; $50, Habib Mura; $40, to Serif Saguin; $15, Now gentlemen what gets me is how those fellows passed the civil service and got on the pay roll at Washington. Fellow citizens, I will not kiss my little daughter on the 6 day of November and look into her pure eyes and vote her or her children into any king's harem for I say to you that polygamy under the stars and stripes in the Sulu islands means polygamy under the stars and stripes in the United States in the lapse of time. Gentlemen, this world has had its emancipators. O'Connel was an emancipator and Lincoln was the emancipator of the black slaves, but we have an emancipator that will free the black slave, the white slave and the ten million brown slaves in the Philippine islands—that grand man William Jennings Bryan. I believe that Bryan is especially ordained by God to carry out his mission because God says "The poor you have always with you," and William Jennings Bryan is always with the poor and on the 6th day of November he will be elected President of this republic by the largest majority that has been received by anyone running for the same office in the history of this country. In conclusion permit me to state I believe that any man who would vote the Republican ticket will sell his soul to the Baker's trust for rolls; to the meat trust for hairy sausages; for McKinley he will whop and after the election get soup, while the hearts of the Boers are aching. They say that if McKinley is elected we will die from starvation. We have never died a winter yet and the devil in hell will not kill us in the summer time. It was phianthropy day with the women of the Phyllis Wheatley club on last Wednesday at their rooms at 5058 Dearborn street. Mrs. Fannie Battle had charge of the program. Dr. Anna R. Cooper read a splendid paper on "Practical Charity," which created quite a discussion. President L. A. Davis read a report from The National Association notes of the executive committee of the National Association of Colored Women. Mrs. Rev. Wm. Gray made some timely suggestions the manner of conduction of the National Association and her remarks were ratified by all the members present. Editoress Clara Green read her Chronicle which was full of wit and wisdom. Next Wednesday, Nov. 7th, the musical section, under the direction of Mrs. Eliza Harris will have a good program. Subject, "History of Music." John E. Traeger, the next coroner of Cook county has so far worked harder and more persistantly for the success of the entire county ticket than almost any other candidate. Mr. Traeger has the endorsement of the leading newspapers of Chicago and there is no doubt of his election. Israel Cowen, candidate for judge of the Superior court has the past week spoke before many Afro-American voters who are delighted with him, and many of them have declared their intention of recording their votes in his favor. We have no desire to discourage those who feel that scratching is not wrong but we do hope that every body will refrain from doing any scratching on the day of the election and vote the Democratic ticket straight from top to bottom. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Farmora, Catholics, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Inclels, Mormons, Republicana, Priests, or any else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

The Natal subscribers to a testimonial to Major-General Baden-Powell, in recognition of his gallant defense of Mafeking, have decided to present him with a shield made of Transvaal sovereigns. Those who are privileged to act as hosts of the prince of Wales have to carefully study his likes and dislikes in the matter of food and wines, there being quite a long list of things which are "blackmailed" by him. He is also very particular as to punctuality in the matter of meals, viewing delays with much disfavor. The relations existing between mistress and maid in Australia are aptly illustrated in a recent issue of a Queensland paper, in which a girl advertises for a situation to take charge of a laundry or dairy. She can cook, and understands housekeeping, and adds: "None but a respectable mistress, who wishes to leave her servant in uninterrupted discharge of her duties, need apply." Foreign trade has picturesque features which greatly relieve its coldly commercial aspects. For example, in sending to Zanzibar a hundred thousand dollars' worth of kerosene oil last year the United States was doubtless trying to "light up" the dark continent. American locomotives are going to Africa in such numbers that the continent cannot much longer be called slow. Ivory, an ancient source of Africa's wealth, is becoming so scarce that earnest efforts are now making to preserve the herds of elephants from wanton slaughter. What wonders modern commerce works! Ex-Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota and his wife are going to build a home for poor girls in St. Paul. The ex-governor says: "If a girl is thrown out of employment, or for any reason loses her bread-earning power, we want her to feel that she is not without a friend. She need never despair so long as our home stands. There she can find food and shelter, be as comfortable, so far as her surroundings are concerned, as she would be anywhere in the world." It is by such things as this that John I. Pillsbury deserves his statue, which, the work of Daniel C. French, has just unveiled on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The growth of population about the Great Lakes will be one of the important revelations of the present census. Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago, have added more than a million people since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty per cent. The increase is directly related to the growth of commerce of the Great Lakes, which has doubled in the last five years. The tonnage capacity of vessels passing through the canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half as large again as that of all the vessels which enter and leave the port of New York, and two and a half times as great as the tonnage which passes through the Suez Canal. The Great Lakes certainly cannot be called "a waste of waters." They are teeming with life and usefulness. A dealer in spices declares that the consumer can now buy a pound of what purports to be pepper, ground, packed in a tin box and labeled cheaper than the wholesaler can buy pure unground pepper by the ton. The dealer who undertakes to sell really pure pepper must therefore charge a price for his goods which seems high when compared with the prices of his competitors, and thus adulteration becomes the general practice. It is an outrage on the consumer, yet it is the consumer's continual demand for cheapness that is largely to blame. The honest dealer and the customer who is willing to pay a fair price for pure goods will have no redress until public opinion demands government inspection of all food products, the compulsory labeling of such as are in any way adulterated and the punishment of all persons who sell adulterated for AN OCEAN WATER-SPOUT THE TORNADO ONE OF NATURES'- PHENOMENA OFTEN SEEN ON THE SEA REVELING IN COIN. The general understanding of a waterapout is that it is a whirlwind descending from a cloud overhanging a body of water, the wind sucking up water and drawing it to the cloud, from which it falls as a very heavy downpour of rain. Most spouts are of ONE OF NATURES'- PHENOM such nature, but they are occasionally of quite a different character. The spouts sometimes occur when no water except that in the clouds is near. In such instances a funnelshaped mass of water or vapor descends toward the DEMAND FOR LOBSTERS. Six Hundred Tons of Them Sent to Europe. Despite the fact that the lobster is growing so scarce that the demand is now hardly met during ten months of the year and cannot be supplied in February and March, a steamer sailed from Halifax, N. S., one of the few great sources of the American market, recently, carrying to Havre 25,000 cases, weighing 600 tons and valued at over $150,000. The foreign demand for this rustacean is increasing prodigiously, says the New York Evening Post, making still further demands upon the supply source. Three years ago lobster at 10 cents a pound was considered expensive; the cheapest price it brings today is double that sum. The reason assigned for the heavy orders from abroad is the presence of numbers of Americans in Europe at this time. It is impossible to ship live lobsters to Europe, for even in the journey from Portland, Me., to this city, from 10 to 20 per cent of those shipped in barrels—the usual way—are dead when they arrive in the markets. For export, lobsters are canned. The demand for lobsters in New York at present exceeds the supply. The reason for this is that the lobster is made the basis of one of the most delicious salads, and in the summer every one wants it. The government is trying to check the growing scarcity by enforcing strict laws regarding the size and weight, and by stocking southern and western waters. Portland, Me., produces the best and most delicate lobsters, and most of those consumed in New York, but it cannot give enough now for this market. "I haf a hot time in my incides and wich I wood like to be extinguished. What is good for to extinguish it? The inclosed money is for the price of the extinguisher. Hurry pleas." A Boston merchant of great wealth, believing that certain symptoms indicated that he would become insane, consulted a specialist, and under his advice became an inmate of a private asylum. For twelve years his recreation was the piling of gold coins and then knocking them over. At times he washed his hands in gold eagles and half-eagles. At the end of the long seclusion he returned to his counting room, and in twelve months confirmed the thoroughness of his recovery by making $500,000. He died of yellow fever in Cuba, where he had Progress Promoted by Poverty. Poverty is an incentive and a discipline. If most of us were rich and had nothing to work for the world would be lazy and degenerate, softened with luxury, spoiled by lack of healthful opposition. Any condition that deprives us of hope is a condition of living death; but a poverty that makes us industrious, resolute, hardens our bodies and sharpens our wits is far from unfortunate, for it contains within itself the element of cure. ```markdown ``` IS REVERED BY THE YAQUIS A earth from the under side of the cloud. This column of water or vapor is supposed to be hollow and it whirls around with almost lightning rapidity. The lower end of the column, or funnel, does not drop clear to the surface of the earth, but descends toward it MENA OFTEN SEEN ON THE SEA. within a distance of from ten to fifty feet. In such instances the water of the spout is, of course, supplied by the cloud, but in case of waterspouts over a large body of water it seems quite likely that at least in the early stages IS REVERED BY Sainthood is a good deal like life insurance; one has to die in order to obtain its benefits. Yet there are exceptions to the rule as regards both. Occasionally a man receives payment upon his life insurance policy before he quits this vale tears; occasionally there are persons who have been canonized either by pontifical decree or popular verdict, before they have been gathered to their fathers. One of the latter is Santa Teresa, the patron saint of the Yaqui Indians, a tribe now struggling to retain their homes in a wild and mountainous region of Mexico. They are having a hard time of it, and at last accounts there was immediate danger of their total extermination. Santa Teresa is now in San Francisco. For several years she lived in the state of Sonora, and although it is there that her personality and her strange powers have been chiefly known, her name has become quite familiar in the United States, owing gone to look after his sugar plantation. A similar passion for handling gold coin is now and then exhibited by men who suddenly become rich. George Augustus Sala, in his "Life and Adventures," tells of a London journalist who speculated in railway stocks. His first venture netted him $5,000. Drawing it in gold, he repaired to a hotel, emptied the bags of gold in the bed, and went to sleep literally in the sands of Pactolus. The man was so crazed by his good fortune that he felt pleasure in reveling in a golden bath. and prime among its attributes is that heaven-sent faculty of living in a future that has no offset to its perfectness—the faculty of hope.-Saturday Evening Post. Wire Fences Conduct Lightning. Lightning has killed so many cattle while they were standing near wire fences that it is proposed to diminish the danger by means of ground wires, which will conduct the electricity into the earth. of the formation the water from the cloud descends until it meets the water of the sea. After the union of the two the water of the sea probably ascends, taking the water from the cloud back with it. It is said that many seamen believe that waterspouts may be precipitated and completely destroyed by a well-directed shot from a cannon. It is even related that upon a number of occasions this feat has been accomplished. The theory is that the concussion of the air from a heavy gunshot is so great that it overcomes entirely the force of the whirlwind and dissipates it to such an extent that the gyrating condition quite disappears. The best method of bringing about this result is to fire an explosive shell directly at the water column. If a shell with a time fuse can be thrown so much the better, especially if an expert in cutting fuses of right length for estimated distances is at hand on board the boat. A shell exploding near a spot is guaranteed to kill it so dead that it will never rise again. Upon the ocean numbers of waterspouts will sometimes rise within a comparatively short distance of each other, and when the spouts are of great size, as they sometimes are, ships in their path are in actual danger. The same theory in regard to the destruction of waterspouts by firing shells at them is held by many in regard to the annihilation of cyclones. The project of using guns on these devastating and death-dealing storms has been seriously considered in a number of towns in the west and northwest which have been visited by disastrous cyclones. The scheme which has been broached contemplated the placing on a cannon or shell-throwing gun upon some eminence in the town and providing it with a sort of lifesaving squad of volunteers from among the citizens. Upon the approach of a storm this squad, or a part of it, would man the gun and be ready to hurl a shell at any gyrating cloud of dangerous appearance as soon as it should come within gunshot of the town. Although this project has been discussed a number of times, it has not yet been put into execution.

Paganini, the wonderful violinist, when he received the proceeds of his concerts—he insisted on being paid in gold—used to wash his hands in sovereigns.

Children to whom it is given have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous lives. Parents should realize that it is their duty to give it to every child who is not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by parents than fits, epilepsy, and St. Vitus' dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them if Dr. Greene's Nervura were given when the first symptoms appear. Charles L. McBay, a highly esteemed police officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle St., New Bedford, Mass., says: "About two years ago my little daughter became run down in health and suffered from St. Vitus' dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely affected her low limbs. "After trying various remedies without obtaining relief, she began taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. She continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she was again able to walk without lameness, her general health was restored, and she was able to attend school and to play like other children." Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is the prescription and discovery of the well-known Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th Street, New York City, who is the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic complaints, and he can be consulted in any case, free of charge, personally or by letter. The Centaur Company of New York city, manufacturers of Castoria, recently learned that their well known preparation was being counterfeited in St. Louis, Mo., and that worthless imitations were being sold. After a careful investigation by Chas. H. Fletcher, president of the company, it was learned that a preparation in imitation of Fletcher's goods was being prepared by the Palestine Drug Company of No. 107 South Second street, and sold by a few druggists. Warrants were sworn out for the imitators. Yesterday John Blick, president of the offending company, and Benjamin Chireaun, chemist for the concern, were arrested, but later were released on bond. The cases will be tried before Judge Clark of the Court of Criminal Correction. The Centaur Company has determined to protect the public from worthless imitations of their goods. St. Louis (Mo.)

Onions are a kind of all-round good medicine: A whole onion eaten at bed time will, by the next morning, break the severest cold. Onions make a good plaster to remove inflammation and hoarseness. If an onion is smashed so as to secure all the juice in it, it will make a most remarkable smelling substance that will quiet the most nervous person. The strength of it inhaled for a few moments will dull the sense of smell and weaken the nerves until sleep is produced from sheer exhaustion. It all comes from one property possessed by the onion, and that is a form of opium. Any photographer will tell you that lots of people will sit for a picture and then won't stand for it.

A London paper prints a story to the effect that Charles Stewart Parnell is not dead, but leading the Boer forces in South Africa. Parnell is by no means the only man officially reported as dead, and concerning whom a popular belief prevails that he still remains in the land of the living. Throughout Russia a similar superstition exists t concerning that Charles S. Parnell. General Skobeleff whose sudden death at Moscow has always remained shrouded in a certain amount of mystery. The idol not alone of the army but likewise of the masses of the Russian people, the popularity of this heroic figure, who still lives in the hearts of his countrymen as the "White General," at one moment gave serious concern to the government at St. Petersburg, especially when the general, having without authority pledged Russia's co-operation in certain anti-German enterprises of France, showed a disposition to use his influence with the people to force the czar into an immediate war against Germany. Moreover, his close intimacy with the Gen. Skobeleff leaders of the pan-Slavist party at Moscow, and his pronounced sympathy with their views, all contributed to render him a species of "enfant terrible" to his government. It is these circumstances, coupled with the fact that his alleged death took place precisely at the moment when Russia found herself on the verge of a war with Germany, for which she was in no sense prepared, that has given rise to the so widespread belief that his demise was fictitious; that he merely vanished from the scene; prompted by motives of patriotism and expediency, and that he remains to this day in the land of the living. So firmly is this conviction rooted in the minds of the people that only two years ago the entire population of a large town in the interior of the empire, after adorning the chief thoroughfares with MU umphal arches, flocked to the railroad station with bands of music and silver salvers bearing bread and salt, all for the purpose of welcoming the "White General," who, according to a rumor, originated no one knew how, was to arrive by the midday express train. In Austria many believe that Arch Duke John is still alive. Librarian Putnam has abolished the custom of permitting persons of responsible character and unquestioned position occasionally to take books from the Congressional Library, after making a deposit as a precaution against accident. Mr. Putnam says that there have been no abuses of the custom, but that he thinks the absence of all risk the safer plan. News of Andree Still Lacking. The dispatch buoys of Andree's lost enterprise, just brought to Stockholm, give little tidings of his fortunes, for they were cast to earth and wind and wave in the early time, when the aeronauts were full of hope and their friends had not begun to despair. These messages were sent at brief intervals back to the world by the man who was all too probably to see it no more, and after the last message silence and distance swallowed up the expedition—the men, the balloon and the whole project of a new invasion of the pole. ```markdown ``` DISPATCH BUOYS FROM ANDREE. Among the large army of the "missing"—those who are not returned as prisoners or slain in the battles of the race, because their end had no witnesses and because, but for the lapse of time which persuaded us of their death, they might be living still—Andree has a lofty place. No new hope is afforded by the experiment made some weeks ago to test the sustaining power of a balloon of 8,000 cubic meters, supplied with all scientific apparatus and provisions for three weeks.

McCord, Ex-Governor of New Mexico, in letter to Dr. Hartman, from Washington, D.C., says: Dear Sir—At the suggestion of a friend I was advised to use Peruna for catarrh, and after using one bottle I began to feel better in every way. It helped me in many respects. I was troubled with colds, coughs, sore throat, etc., but as soon as I had taken your medicine I began to improve and soon got well.

Paris has a novel provident society, intended to provide marriage dowries for all its members of both sexes. Monthly payments of 10 cents for ten years insures a "dot" at marriage after that time of $75. Larger payments bring a corresponding increase of dowry. The grants, of course, are considerably in excess of the sums of the premiums accumulated at compound interest, the difference being made up out of the society's funds, derived from patrons' subscriptions, donations and legacies. The institution, founded in 1895, has prospered wonderfully, having a membership roll of girls and young men of 162,000. The present year of grace, being the fifth of the society's existence, has witnessed several departures from the association, members having claimed their dowries at the expiration of the prescribed time, and got married at once on the strength of them, frequently to other recipients of similar portions from the "Donation," as the society is called. $100 Reward. $100.

Otto Hulsman is an old time citizen of Chicago and he will be one of the next commissioners of Cook county. Michael Irrmann, the laboring men's candidate for county commissioner has the confidence of all classes of voters and he will surely win out. Frank Wenter, Wm. Legner, Thos. Smyth and Thos. J. Webb, are all tried and true business men and they will make ideal sanitary trustees. Peter Kiolbassa and Henry Stuckart, who are both capable and able in every way will surely be elected members of the board of assessors of Cook county. Joseph E. Flanagan, candidate for county commissioner is one of the best and most successful business men in Chicago and he can render good service to the tax payers while serving on the board. John J. Feely, has made a splendid campaign against his Republican opponent, and Mr. Feely feels reasonably sure of carrying the second Congressional district providing all the Democrats do their duty. Down at Richmond, Va., the Old Dominion Shirt company, finding it difficult to employ suitable white girls in its factory, has given employment to 150 colored girls paying from $2 to $6 per week. Thos. F. Scully will be selected as a member of the State Board of Equalization from the 4th District and Lawyer E. W. Cullen, who is a tax payer and an honorable gentleman will be chosen from the 7th. Jacob B. Thielen, who was for many years engaged in business on the North side will be honored by the tax payers of Cook county and Chicago by being elected county commissioner. Mr. Thielen is clean and honest and will stand for right and justice. Congressman Geo. P. Foster will again be returned to Congress from the third district. Congressman Foster up to the present time has made a good record and the people in his district are not in favor of making a change so they will again return him to Congress. Jas. McAndrews will go to Congress from the 4th Congressional District, Wm. F. Mahoney from the fifth, Emil Hoechster from the 6th and Wm. Peacock from the 7th. These four staunch Democrats will all assist in upholding the hands of Wm. Jennings Bryan, the next President of the United States.

"A word to the wise, etc." Read our "Longavita" ad. in another column. Some things for the Negro to consider before he votes. That Roosevelt offered a most damnable insult to the Negro soldier. That this insult can be found in the April No., 1899, of Scribner's magazine, page 436. That McKinley pinned a confederate badge on his coat at Atlanta, saying: "This is the proudest moment of my life. That the Republican party of today is not the party of Lincoln. That the Negro has kept the Republican party in power for thirty-five years, "bestowing upon them presidencies and getting janitorships in return." That this country sacrificed millions of money and thousands of lives to guarantee liberty to the Cuban, Porto Rican and Filipino and will not protect its black citizens at home. That this country under a Republican president paid eight hundred thousand dollars to indemnify the families of the Italians lynched at New Orleans; not a cent for the thousands of murdered Negroes. That President McKinley scarcely mentioned the lynching of Negroes in his message to Congress. He devoted a newspaper column to the lynching of foreigners. That the main issue in this campaign is the trusts; that the trusts control the factories and workshops of the country from which the Negro is excluded. That Bryan has said his position with reference to the Negro is identical with that of Lincoln, Phillips, Garrison and Lovejoy. That Bryan was born and raised in Illinois; that he is a northern man in sympathy and thought. That the salvation of the Negro race in America lies in a divided vote. That if the peculiar construction of the Constitution will not allow the national government to interfere for the protection of the Southern Negro, the Republicans can amend it. They have a majority in Congress. That the Supreme Court of the United States is Republican and every question coming before it touching the Negro's rights under the Constitution has been decided against him. That the Jim Crow laws of the South are violators of the Constitutional amendments enacted for the protection of the Negro. Why doesn't the Supreme court declare these laws unconstitutional. REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE One who steals a ham is a theif. One who steals a fortune is a financier. One who assists in stealing the Philippines is a patriot. REWARD Anyone who can give information as to the whereabouts of Adam Hora (colored) who when last heard of was working at the barber trade in this city will be suitably rewarded by Mrs. Sarah Robinson, No. 2 Rector court, Charleston, S. C. JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY. The uncertaintys ov life are just what make life endurable. Death is a det which all admit, but none are quite reddy to pay. It iz what we want and will have, more than all we need and rust have, that makes us all so unhappy. "The gods help them who help themselfs," and men are very apt to do bizzness in the same way. Genuine ridikule iz not the offspring ov morbid and bitter hearts, but rather ov gentle, but hilly sensitive ones. Kuriosity seems to be the same in all folks; the vulgar stare with both eyes, while the refined peek thru the kracks. It is a grate consolation to kno that we are right, but it adds grate sweetness to the consolashun to hav others admit it. Good and bad fortune are so evenly mixt in this life that we frequently draw them out of the barrell at the same spiggot. It seems to be impossible for a woman who thinks she iz superior to her husband, not to make an offensive display ov it. Humbugs are like bladders—they kan be blown up until they bust; but they kant be mended and be blown up the sekond time. The thoughts ov mankind seldom rize abuv the bizness they are engaged in. A cobbler's whole soul iz in the sole ov his boots. I hav the utmost reverence for the angels, but I don't beleav the most perfek one in heaven iz rated az high by the Almighty az an honest and virtuous man on earth iz. Thare are but few things more delishus than skandal; people luv to sip it with their tea.—New York Weekly. CGOKING VEGETABLES. Do not let your cook take too thick a rind off in paring potatoes. The best part of the potato is near the skin. See that cucumbers are sliced as thin as possible, and put cracked ice over them half an hour before they come to the table. Cabbages are better if boiled with meat. Potatoes should always be boiled separately. Otherwise they are sodden and unpalatable. On the other hand, turnips should have a thick rind pared off. The turnip has an outer part that destroys the flavor of the whole if not thoroughly removed. Ontons should not be added to a stew, or put in to cook with anything else until they have first been boiled for about ten minutes, and the water thrown away. City cooks too frequently fail to properly "string" beans before cooking them. This is annoying at the table. Beans are vastly improved by a cream or milk and butter dressing. To clean celery of the insects often found on it, take a wineglassful of hot water in which a little bicarbonate of soda has been dissolved. Plunge the celery into this after it has been washed. Then cool in ice water before serving. A wooden leg made of oak never produces a-corn. No married man is henpecked who buys his own neckties. The man you fail to get will never add to your wealth. No one would object to free silver that was practically free. The coquette was created so that the fool might have a companion. No man appreciates poetry unless he has a little of it in his make-up. When flatterer meets flatterer his satanical majesty sits down and rests. Only fools follow a goose with the expectation of finding an ostrich feather. Other people don't amount to much when you use yourself as a standard of comparison. Many an actor whose name is on a billboard is an acrobat when it comes to jumping a board-bill. The woman who thoroughly understands men may not be able to write good poetry, but she is apt to be a Lawrence M. Ennis, Advocate and Counselor at Law, Suite 726 Opera House Block. S. W.

From times immemorial it has been man's predominating ambition to prolong Life. But among the many brilliant minds, who have devoted their lives to the fascinating subject. It was left for the immortal Darwin to give to the world, in his great theory of Life, the fundamental principle upon which to build all further research in this direction. Following closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr. Ludwig Buechner, a German scientist of international renown, with his remarkable work entitled "Das Buch des Langen Lebens" (the book on Longevity). But alas, like Darwin he too died, ere he could reap the fruit of his wonderful doctrine. Others however, equally great took up the interrupted thread with the result that two famous German scientists, after years of experiments and research, have at last discovered the secret of Longevity, in the shape of a remarkable Vegetable Compound, which, if properly used, will positively prolong Life. This new remedy, appropriately named "Longavita" (meaning Long Life) has been subject to the most rigid tests at all the leading clinics and hospitals throughout Europe with marvelous results. Appreciating the importance of this discovery, we have acquired, at enormous cost, the exclusive proprietary right to this truly wonderful preparation, which has proved a blessing to mankind. "Longavita" is the true Tablet of life, a rejuvenator excellence, embodying the veritable secret of longevity in a practical, feasible form. It is the fountain of perpetual youth, which it prolongs far beyond its present limits, while retaining health in a perfectly normal state. "Longavita" brightens the eye, stimulates mental activity, gives elasticity to the step, makes the face full, absorbs wrinkles, cleanses the system, purifies the skin, and is the only true Ponce de Leon remedy for old and young of both sexes.
