by sticking a fish hook in his finger. Mr. Tommy Stanfield of St Paul, Minn., formerly of this city, was called to attend the funeral of his little nephew, master Tommie, who died on the 31st utl. Master Bob Oakley, jr., of South Eighth street, is indisposed at this writing. Miss Sallie Long of this city, was called to the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Lucy Long of Jackson, Tenn., last Friday, June 1st, who is dangerously ill. After the majority of the race refused to take the excursion trip to Mound City May 30th, we are glad to learn that Mr. Pullen, who engaged the Wabash for the occasion, came out all right and made some money, after all.
News from Poplar Bluff.
Poplar Blufi, Mo., Special.—A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in the A. M. E. church of this city May 25th. The meeting was called to order and opened with singing by the A. M. E. church choir. Mrs. B. Berphitt presided at the organ. Prayer by Rev. J. C. Smith, after which Rev. Jas. Madison stated that the object of the meeting was to ratify the action of the general conference of said church, in the selection of the five new bishops at Columbus, Ohio. On motion Mr. J. J. Readman was called to the chair and made a few timely and appropriate remarks, thanking the congregation for the honor thus conferred upon him. Mr. F. Jordan was then elected secretary. First speaker called was Prof. H. A. Wheeler, who made all around speech, endorsing the above named bishops. Mr. A. Buliner and
L. D. Nelson made a few remarks. Prof. J. A. Lankford and Rev.Jas. Madison spoke on the progress of the A. M. E. church, after which Prof. H. A. Wheeler spoke.
Weatherford Items.
Weatherford, Texas, Special.—The closing of school was well attended, and all seemed highly pleased with the songs and recitations. The following are the graduates who received diplomas: Misses Emma Band and Indiana Ikard. Dr. G. A. Lewis presented the diplomas with an encouraging speech. Prof. G. P. Lewis and wife have been elected to teach another year. The people are making preparations to celebrate the 19th of June, the emancipation of Texas slaves. Mrs. Bettie Locket formerly of this city, but now of Midland, and Miss Everett are spending a few days here visiting friends. W. McClure and wife will soon move to California. The B. I. B. of K. entertainment on the 26th, was well attended.
A Correction
Editor The Freeman.—I noticed in the editorial columns of the Freeman some time ago, the following:
"The A. M. E. General Conference now in session at Columbus, O., has seen fit to adopt the following resolutions:
Resolved. That, while we depreciate war between nations, yet we heartily indorse the action of England in her efforts in teaching these misguided people (the Boer) the true lessons of our Christian civilization.
Resolved, That the sympathy of this meet-
ing go out to the struggling natives, who are grooming under the hell born tyranny of a man who is a slave.
I desire to state that the general conference adopted so such resolutions. There-solutions were read by Bishop Derrick, subsequent to the Sunday evening religious services, prior to the opening of the general conference Monday, May 7th. It is true that the matter so reached the public press by some means, as your journal stated it, but it is a mistake as the following, in addition to what has already been said, will plainly show: "The Conference by resolution assumes a neutral position in the war between the British and the Boers." The above is a part of the Conference record of the proceedings of May 10th. I would have sent this while in Columbus, Ohio, but I was of the opinion that I sent a correction of it in the matter I sent you for the old reliable Freeman. I noticed closely for it in the conference issue, but I see it was not included. Knowing the reliableness of the Freeman and how much and well it is considered by its hosts of readers, home and abroad, I send you the above for publication. With best wishes for The Freeman and its readers, I am for the wise conference stand

I have not missed an issue of The Freeman for nine months, and would feel completely lost without it. Mr. George Tang head-waiter at the Colonial Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio, has opened a first class restaurant, something that was very much needed, as it is the only first-class colored restaurant in the city. We wish him success. He deserves the patronage of all fellow-waiters, and in regards to the writer, Mr. Cozart, he is doing very nice work for your valuable paper, and hope he will continue to do so.

The Best in the Country
Ed Freeman—Allow me to congratulate you and the Freeman force upon the “make up” of The Freeman. Typographically, it is of the gilt edge variety.

New Madrid, Mo., Special.—Closing exercises of the colored school, L. H. Brown, principal and Miss E. L. Waters, assistant, began. Opening Song—“Bring Them In.” Invocation—Rev. W. H. Parker. Introductory—Principal. The opening was attended with a slight accident by the stage falling, although, happily, no one was hurt. The program which was a very high-class one, was beautifully and succefully carried out, notwithstanding the many disadvantages the colored people are laboring under in this river city, they are coming. Five years ago there was no school building save a little frame house, now they have a beautiful brick with graded departments, and have also built a fine brick church second to none in Southern Missouri, all of this wonderful progress in such a short time was the zealous work of Rev. L. H. Brown, who, almost a year ago when it was almost worth a man's life to speak up for a Negro, he stood at his post like a man pleading or justice and fair play. The children of to-day show marked improvements of the children of the 18th century in rendering their pieces; they speak louder and more distinct, and more accurate in their gestures. Miss Amelia Ates' recitation on "Alcohol" and her dialogue, "Annt Rachel in the Country," if played by her in a traveling concert around the world would be a great success—assisted

BE NOT DECEIVED
RECOGNIZING THE FACT that there are many so-called hair growers and straighteners now being offered on the market, and knowing to a certainty that most of these are franks pure and simple. We wish to make a straightforward statement to the colored people of Amal through the NAPOLIOS FREE FRIENDS. In the year of 1871 our present Secretary through a fortunate circumstance acquired the recept for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or pushed to any extent until 1875 when it was put upon the market, and met with marked success. A thorough test by the leading colony of the United States, which we call us, required it for it and worthy in every respect of the confidence and attention of every man, the colored race. Because they found it to cause the hair to GROW LONG AND STRAIGHT, fine and as beautiful as an April-morning. It also cures all forms of itching, humilizing scalp diseases, stops the hair from falling out, and causes a new growth to grow on the baldest of the heads. It is also the reason that so many of people who imitate and make capital out of the merit of other people's goods. Beeing our success numerous so-called hair growers and hair straighteners were put on the market.

BUSINESS MEDIUM
MRS. MARTH, the world, renowned and highly celebrated business and test MEDIUM, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be beautiful. Marriage a speciality. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrange ties, challenges relationships, can anexe be present in a challenging revelation of present and future event in one's life. Remember, she will not, for any price, flatter you; you will not be accurate in describing missing friends, enmeshed in her gain facts nonsense. She can be constricted to affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She will be accurate in describing missing friends, enmeshed in her gain facts nonsense, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable or bad; she withholds nothing.
There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a book or a book of truth. It is only from the lack of knowledge that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of what they know. It is not everyone who mind may ask the reason why. It is simply that these advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend time with them and they art of phrenology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. An undeniable fact that persons will come for advice—in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a dummy they try their utmost empathy and forgiveness. They know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by the medium to try to hold the hand and gain control of the mind that is, by a master of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done, and by consulting the Medium H this seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there is no doubt that "olly tongues," perhaps, the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession.
It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium, and by a continuous effort you can walk a wall of parapertely unfathomable mysteries have been procured by MRS.

SATURDAY, JUNE, 9, 1900,

“Let There Be Light” is tne title of a
recent publication by David Lubin, It
is devoted to the discussion of those
economic questions that are thrust
prominently forward in the march of
current events. The author has suc-
ceeded in making, what is considered
ary ay uninviting subjects, exceedingly
interesting through his very unique
mathod of presentation,
Instead of following the usual plan so
well-known in works of this order
wherein page after page of the one-man-
idea is given, the author puts the argn-
ments in the mouths of five or six indi-
viduals, each of a different nationality.
They aro at liberty to speak according
to their convictions. These five or six
individuals form a club, the sole object
for existence, being, according to the
author: “The search for the causes of
poverty and social inequality, and the
Giscussion of plans for the amelioration
of existing evils.” “The title and the
advertised purpose of the volume scarce-
ly do justice to the contents.
The book will be found—especially
interesting to many owing to the fact
that one member of the club is a Negro.
Praise is due the author for allowing
the members of this working man’s club
toclothe ther thoughts in the best lan-
guage, which as the author says, will be
pleasing to either class, the learned or
the unlearned.
It would be too ong a story to deal
with the events that surround the
club of workingmen, yet _ those
events litt the volume from a lifeless
economic treatise to the plane of half
fiction.
The club is forced in a position of
prominence throngh the opposing ideas
of two Mr. Mortons, unele and nephew,
oth rich, ‘The younger man is of a
philanthropical turn. He desires to in-
‘vestigate the canse for the estrangement
of capital and labor. The uncle, a capi.
talistic recluse refuses for a time to
consider the club which is struggling
for light. Through the persistency of
young Mr. Morton, he however, consents
that the club may meet in his own resi-
dence. It meets after declining the first
offer in very dignified, yet courteon:
terms.- Mr. Morton, the elder, is carried
off of his feet by the clubs very decorus
manner of conducting business. He
is induced to make a speech. whereir
he makes concessions which he" neve
reamed of before.
On the morrow when sober reftectior
seta in, he reviewing himself from hi
patrician class, doubts the saneness o
his utterences. He finds himself oscilla
ting, flowing and ebbing between th
Charybdis and Scylla of doubt anc
belief, that any good could be derives

classes. He desires to serve his humane
instincts, but peradventure his selfish
interests more.
‘The younger Morton, buoyed up by
the strength of his greater humane
qualities, is not {eatisfied with the con-
flicting theories preached by men, but
by application tests the speculation of
tenet monlders. He succeeded in resou-
ing his evicted tenant, who was honest
enongh to do the right thing when he
was able, But the news of his philan-
thropy spread. He was besieged on
every hand. His agent, who was known
for collecting a larger percent. of rent
money than other agents, declared that
his interference{would not only ruined
his, Mr, Morton’s business, but his, the
agent’s reputation as well, and that he
would have to give up his houses if he
persisted in interfering. Thus the
younger Morton began to doubt himself
as an instrument for setting the world
rightside up.
Through the whole work rans two
threads ot thought; the opposing ideas
of the two Mr. Mortons, one of whom is
trying by practical tests to ameliorate
the condition of the working classes
while the other cynical at all times
seems to appreciate his failures, because
such failures demonstrate his contention.
‘The club itself is busy settling matters
by oratory, logic, ete., all of which
make the work very acceptable owing to
‘its contioversial tendency.
“We would not do the writer justice it
we failed to speak of the club in opera-
tion, We have spoken of that high
order of intelligence that seemed to
characterize each individual, Mr. Quail,
the Negro, claims the largest shure of
our attention.
Mr. Quail did not confine his remarks |
of the race question, but oceasionaily
and when appropriate, he did not forget
to express himself. When the question:
“The Republic and Its Destiny” was the
subject for the evening Mr. Quail said
in part
“Were I inclined to shelter my people
from reproach for any shortcomings, by
re-calling compensating glory of the past
Lcould point to no suh glory. The
Negro rae can as yet boast of no exalt-
ed achievement in the world’s develop-
ment, nor can I, in their behalf proudly
re-call the past, in the manner of the
last speaker. For the Negro, his glory,
if any, must be of the future.”
We leave the book. “If any” says
Mr. Quail. We note the tone of pessi-
mism. And yet he injects the words at
the the proper place and at the proper
time. Do the Negroes as Negroes ex-
pect a future glory in America? We
will only say that it all depends upon
the march of events, whether it be to-
wards racial solidarity or national in-
tegrity or wholeness, When that is
determined, then the other question is
in order.
Mr. Quail is found taking part in
every discussion, his remarks being
always punctuated with evidences of
good sense and sound judgment.
‘The author is to be congratulated for
the part assigned Mr. Quail, we have no
reason to be ashamed of him.

nam’s Sons, New York. ’

TO COMMEMORATE THE EVENT}
‘The people residing in tlie states of
the United States which have been
created ont of the original Lonisiana
purchase, under the national auspices
of the administration of Thomas Jeffer-
son, propose to commemorate the first
centennial of that initiatory eventin the
matter of acquiring new territory by
the Government at Washington, by an
inter-national exposition, to be held at
the city of St, Lonis, in the state of Mis-
sonri, in the year A. D., 1907.
The above is the introduction of a
circular letter that is now being sent ont
to prominent Negroes and newspapers
published by Negroes, by J, Milton Tur-
ner Turner of St. Louis. Anent the
proposed exposition which he declares
will eclipse the famous world’s tair of
Chicago, and rival the present Paris ex-
position, he says:
“At no time before has the Negro
been subjected to snch a searching in-
vestigation and criticism; and I believe
that if his progressive development in
art, mechanics, invention, agriculture,
literature, and in all other useful direc-
tions, is properly exhibited before the
critical eye of the American people and
the world, it will do much to lift him
upward into the common brotherhood
of manixind.””
“It is therefore my desire to submit
this letter to you for the purpose of ob-
taining your opinion upon its objeotsand
to ask yon respectfally, that Sif you are
in favor of having a Negro exhibit there
will you be willing to aid us in that fea-
ture of the enterprise, with your moral
and practical support in the organiza-
tion thereof.
In reply to the very distinguished
gentleman we will say with him that
the race is being rigidly inspected. Its
destiny is in a balance and is being.
weighed. The best friends of the race
arein a quandary as to which side they
will cast their verdict, Are Negroes con-
stitutionally incapabléy or are theysimp
ly unfortanate?We feel as we did toward
the Atlanta exposition—it was one more
opportunity. It may not have borna
Booker T. Washington, but it flung him
out in bold relief, that one thing alone
‘was of incalculable value to the race.
‘There are those of the race that stand
ready to decry those institutions and
thingsthat tend to perpetuate race lines,
However, they are in the minority even
among edneated Negroes, who feel that
their opinions are entitled to respect.
They are right in contending for a unit-
ed America, but they are not the con-
trolling forces, and no matter how fair
and equitable their claims, it is a con-
dition and not a theory that now con-
fronts the American Negro, As the
years roll by we find that the Negroes
are being cut adrift from their former
props and stays, that sympathy which
grew ont of sentiment is dead, and the
Negroes may as well learn the lesson
now, that what they get in the future
will be by an effort that resides in their
own ingenuity rather than by the pat-
ronizing ministrations of the whites.
‘The Negroes must do deeds, worthy
deeds, worthy of any race, and they
must not be hid under a bushel.
It is admitted that the element of
projudice enters largely into the prob-
lem, but what instrument is it to be
fought witht The Negroes will have
to so shapen their future career as to be
able to give the lie to the chargeof inca-
pacity, shiftleseness and licentions-
ness. It matters not whether these
charges stand as burning libels or foul
calumnies, the whole race stands thu:
accused. What boots it, if we are able
to point to the few who have scaled the
walls, leaped beyond the withering in
finences of these charges? There ar
yet millions who have made no suck
flight.
‘The Freeman certainly welcomes the
opportunity to demonstrate the opposite
to the charges now extant. It will serve
as astimnlus to those who are exercis-
ing their ingenuity in race building in
various ways. It will certainly dono
harm, henea must do good.

After a brief tour of the Atlantic Coast towns, visiting some of the principal summer resorts, we are now heading into Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois Our company has been greatly enlarged and the personel of the company now reaches the mark of fifty strong. Prof. Jas. Jt. Gray took very sick during the performance at Mt. Holly, N. J., but at this writing is convalescent and bids fair to be himself shortly. Major Ben Payne has been under the weather for the past two weeks.
The big vandeville bill at Jacob's Park, Louisville, Ky., this week is headed by Temple & Williams, the "Smoky Mokes" who are great favorites; they are making a big hit with "All Birds Look Like Chickens to Me."

He sends regards to Williams & Walker and Judson Hicks. Geo. H. Smith and his orchestra are rendering some excellent music. James Anderson and Wm. Dickerson are prominent members of the orchestra, also E. Wood. Dave English, the rag-time singer sends regards to all.
Pat Chappelle writes that he has almost completed arrangements for his new production "A Rabbit's Foot," which is from the pen of Frank Dumont of Dumont's Minstrels, who will be remembered, as the author of "Darkest America" and he claims that this is the cleverest piece that he has yet written. Mr. Chappelle has spared nothing in order to put the play on in the best style. He intends to carry a company numbering sixty people—male and female, and has already signed several well-known artists and is now in correspondence with other headliners. The show will open its season at Lakeview, N. J., about August 15. They will exhibit under a mammoth water-proof canvas, with special scenery, costumes, etc., which are now being prepared, and 'tis said that the show will be billed like a circus, as a large amount of money has been invested in elaborate special paper, which is now being printed by the Donaldson Lithograph company. Three elegantly dressed brass bands will be introduced in the monster spectacular street parade which will occur daily. Mr. Chappelle is well-known and respected in the theatrical profession, and writes that the company that he is selecting will be invested with a dignity heretofore unknown among colored performers.
Messrs. Voelckel & Nolan have signed Irving Jones to be the leading comedian of the "Black Patti Troubadours" for the season of 1900 and 1901. Irving Jones is reputed to be the very best interpreter of the modern rag time ballad and one of the most accomplished composers of songs of that class. He is also a very clever comedian. The terms of the contract are not made public but it is surmised that Irving Jones will receive the largest salary paid to any colored comedian. He has been with the "Black Patti Troubadours" during the past four weeks of their current season which closed at the Star Theatre, New York City, last Saturday night and his success was so pronounced as to lead

Notes from Ernest Hogan's Minstrels—"Honolulu, H. I., May 22. Our show is just what the people want. Our Kansas City Pickanninny Band is a feature and the street parade a source of favorable comment. The new play which has been duly copyrighted, "A Country Coon," written expressly for Mr. Hogan, is without a doubt the brightest and best play ever presented by colored artists. Collectively it falls nothing short of a gigantic success, while individual successes are scored by Ernest Hogan in the title role. Miss Carrie Carter, Miss Vincent Bradley, Miss Laura Moss, Miss Ringold, Miss Price, Miss Navarro, Master Livers, L. H. Saulsbury, Tom Logan C. Logan and Chas F. Alexander. We are now in our tenth and last week at the Orpheum, and interest is unabated—indeed Mr. Dante has refused an offer of re-engagement. We

sail for America, via Vancouver B. C., June 5. All mail can be addressed to members of the company there. Manager Carl Dante proposes playing right into New York City, arriving in time to immediately open the season of 1900-1. The following is the staff for Hopan & Dante: Carl Dante, manager; Ernest Hogan, Amusement director; Tom Logan, stage manager; C. F. Alexander, musical director; N. C. Smith, bandmaster; and George Taylor, master of properties. This is the only show that has pleased an Orpheum Theatre ten weeks and changed program twice each week. Our business has averaged $500 per night for ten weeks. Everybody sends regards to Chas. H. Moore, of New York City."
The third annual benefit performances of McClain Lodge, No. 1, B. Q. B. of Indianapolis, occurred at the Park Theatre, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings June 5, 6, with matinees daily. Notwithstanding the excessive heat during the opening night, the house was sold out before the curtain went up. The reputation established by this organizations in their former entertainments being well remembered by the theater-goers. The show this season was under the direction of Charles S. Sager, auth r of "The Negro," a melo-drama, which was presented at English's Opera House several weeks ago, and considering the short time that he had to get the people together his work was remarkable. The people in this show being entirely new, not being in the other production, and with only ten days rehearsals. The program was divided into three parts the opening being a Southern act in two scenes, entitled "Darkies on the Levee," which was full of plantation songs and antics; James Shetton essayed the role, previously played by Mr. Hartley, the slave owner, and did it in a creditable manner. Chas. Sager, John Bankett, W. Jesley Jones, Sadie Walker Bankett, Huntington, Minnie Eson, Eva Turner, John Tolliver, Mamie Anderson and Hattie Spaulding are worthy of special mention for the good work done in this act. Between the first and second act Harry Fidler, the clever mimic, appeared and made a big hit with his impersonations of prominent men; his portal of President McKinley, Benj Harrison, Geo. L. Knox and Admiral Dewey were especially good. The second act represented the "Court of Dahomey" with Miss Hattie McClure as

pelled to take five and six encores at each performance. Rucker is certainly a big favorite in the Hoosier capitol. "The Buffaloales' Third Annual Celebration at Military Park" arranged by Mr. Sager, served to introduce a number of professional and amateur talent of merit prominently among them being Mat Gayton, John Tolliver, Fred Lewis, Kid Robinson, the Clarke Sisters' Quartette, Laura Jackson, Minnie Edson, Elwood Knox, Master Carroll Lewis, and Chas, Sager. In fact the whole show was filled with many pleasing features.

THOS. ISAAC KEYS.
The subject of this sketch was born in Brookhaven, Lincoln county, Miss., July 3rd, 1861, of slave parents, and the early days of his boyhood were spent on the farms of his native heath. In 1873 he moved with his mother to Ocean Springs Miss. It was here that young Keys' remarkable career began. He worked for number of years as a waiter in a small hotel, and in his spare moments would study. Mr. Keys chances for an education was limited to two or three years in the common schools. The rest has been accomplished by himself. In the face of adversity, and by dint of hard study and faithful application to duty this eminent son has made for himself a lasting name in history and in the hearts of his people. In 1882 Mr. Keys was converted and joined the M. E. church, and has filled all of the local offices in the gift of the church as a layman. He was chosen by his conference on first ballot as their lay-delegate to the general conference which convened in Cleveland, Ohio May 1st, 1896. Mr. Keys was chairman of the Jackson County Executive Committee for a number of years, also secretary of the Sixth Congressional District Committee. Member of the Senatorial and State Committees, and delegate to the state convention for 16 years. In June, 1896, he was an alternate delegate to the national convention of the Republican party at St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Keys was appointed post-master at Ocean Springs under the Harrison administration, and was appointed to the same position under the present administration; this position he fills with credit and acceptability to all. Mr. Keys is a member and supreme officer of several secret societies. A Master Mason, Deputy Supreme Dictor K. of H. of the world. Good Samaritan and a supreme officer of the United Woodmen of the world. In 1883 Mr. Keys married Miss Amelia Kinler, a charming lady of St. Charles Parish, La. Five children were born to them, three boys and two girls; death has since claimed Mrs. Keys, also one of the little girls, and they have gone to their reward. Our Isaac (as he is called) by his intimates, has managed to lay by something for a rainy day, having a snug little bank account besides owning considerable property in Ocean Spring. I cannot close this narrative without paying a tribute to the personal traits and inherent qualities of this good man. The writer's acquaintance dates back over a long period of years of unbroken friendship. I have always found him to be a true and tried friend, an uncompromising lover and defender of his race, a devoted husband, an indulgent father, and all of the essentials that mark the true man. Thus step by step this progressive son of the race is pushing to the front, and as he is still a young man, (if he is spared of us.) the world will hear more of Thomas Isaac Keys. Later Mr. Keys has been elected to the national convention from the 6th congressional district. J. H. CARTER,

A local organization of Negroes in Washington wired Queen Victoria on her birthday: "Congratulations to you and your army in crushing out the Boers, so deadly opposed to the black race of Africa." In 1896 George Washington Jonee, of Hill City, Kas, was elected Co. Attorney by a fusion of Democrats and Populists In 1898 he was re-elected by an increased majority. The strangest thing about it all is that Jones is a Negro. He has made a splendid record and has won the title of "whitest Negro in Kansas."

A summer baby requires nearly same amount of clothing as one born in the winter. The little cashmere shirts may be of lighter weight, but they must still be chiefly of wool, and the flannel'skirt or pinning blanket cannot be dispensed with. The blanket in which the 'child is wrapped need not be as thick a one as in winter, yet one is still needed. A new-born baby requires warmth, and even the summer breezes are too harsh for the tender flesh until it becomes accustomed to the atmosphere.
There is nothing so safe and so satisfactory for washing colored goods both light and dark as starch. Make a gallon of starch with half a cupful of, rice or corn starch and four quarts of water.

San Diego, Cal., Feb. 3, 1300.
Dear Doctor.—On or about the 15th of Jan.
I ordered three bottles of your blood cure,
I promised to give it a fair trial. I seemed to
be very confident. I was the first in
two or three doses. I had heart disease very
bad when I began taking your treatment.
I could not walk more than two blocks before
I had to stop and rest before I could proceed
further. Now I have not used up one bottle
of your treatment and can walk one mile and
not feel tired. My kidney and liver troubles
are passing away. I sleep better than I have
for sixteen years. Since I have been taking
your treatment, I have received benefit from the use of your Blood
and Nerve Tonic. I am respectfully your
patient and obedient servant.

I only used your hair preparation twice and my hair began to grow and stopped falling on. My hair is now growing beautifully. Before I began using your preparation I tried everything I heard of, but nothing proved successful but your Magic Hair Grower. I will also accept an agency for your medicine and have recommended it to my sister, at Fort Smith Ark. She will also send for some of the remedies. Yorus for ucess. PEARLIE F. LONG.

Dear Doctor: I beg leave to say that about fifteen days ago you treated me for neuralgia and I am in a symptom of it since. Your medicines seem instant relief. I have had treatments before, but nothing to compare with yours. You rubbed my head very lightly once and gave me one dose of that Magic Blood and Nerve Tonic, and the pain disappeared. I don't think that any one should hesitate in purchasing your medicines, for they are what they are recommended. Respectfully

Ralph H. Kendall
Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He can call up your spirit friends and show them to you. Can make them rap all around the room. He asks no questions, don't ask you to write names for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly indorsed by leading spiritualists everywhere, received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show, can give thousand of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years' practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell what business is best for you and where, how to win speedy marriage with the one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short, what is best to do. He succeeds when all others fail. Positive satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness, can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now
RICH, HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL with all their undertakings, while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice has often been solicited; the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriages and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex.
It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there is a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. Dr. She refers to the Hon. Chas. Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder, 47 Cleveland d avenue, and Mr. Fred Lampe, grocer, 641 Fulton street, Brooklyn. All have known him for the past ten years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is directed to.

Brooklyn, Aug. 15.—This is to certify that I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city, out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I did. He told me the cause of my troubles; he took me in and treated me as a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea. I would advise all in had luck, sick or in trouble to go to him at once. Sinceerly,

A SENSATION IN BROOKLYN—A MINISTER'S STATEMENT:
I wish to state that one of my parishoners was sick and in trouble for a long time, Mrs. Brown, 37 Gay street. No one seemed to understand her case. She had several doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do her any good. It was my duty as her pastor to call and see her. Hearing of the wonderful work being done by Dr. Shea the last few years, I thought I would call and see him myself. I found him a sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers; told me to send him a lock of the patient's hair, which I did by her daughter. He told at once what was the matter and in a short time cured her sound and well. Her family had seemingly been under a cloud. Now all is changed. All are well and prosperous. I can truly and heartily recommend Dr. Shea to all those in sickness or distress of any kind.
REV. WILLIAM JOHNSON.
Pastor Lebanon Church, Brooklyn.

Hoyt's Poisoned Blood Cure.....87 bottles
All other blood remedies combined.....13 bottles
Total.....100 bottles
The 87 bottles of HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE sold in March gave such universal satisfaction that Mr. Morrison has already sold in April 94 bottles of This Medicine and only 7 of all other combined, while H. C. Raffensperger, the druggist right across the street sell from 3 to 6 in an evening; and J. P. Fritz, two squares south, sells as many as 10 bottles in a day.
Eddie, the seven-year-old son of Mrs. H. Armstead, 605 Cincinnati street, was vaccinated February 1899, and afterwards broke out in a mass of running sores, and remained so while under the local physician's treatment. His suffering was intense, and the vaccinated mark failed to hear. He started taking HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE about Aug. 15, and immediately grew healthier and stronger. To this medicine alone little Eddie Armstead owes his life.
George Gibson, 2016 Hovey street, suffered with Constipation, which produced serious nervousness. He was unable to even ride in a buggy, is now able to work—the first time since July—the result of taking HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE.
William J Kennedy, 1902 Holloway avenue, had poisoned blood the result of inhaling the air in a glue factory. Six bottles of HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE relieved his system of every particle of the poison.
Mary Moler, 915 E. St. Clair, says: "Both of my little girls suffered for years with Eczema. Physicians treated with no benefit, and two bottles of HOYT'S POISONED BLOOD CURE cured both cases completely. I am now taking it for eczema myself."

The Chicago Tribune
is a newspaper for bright and intelligent people. It is made up to attract people who think. Is not neutral or colorless, constantly trimming in an endeavor to please both sides, but it is independent in the best sense of the word. It has pronounced opinions and is fearless in expressing them, but it is always fair to its opponents.
Matters of national or vital public interest gain space in THE TRIBUNE than in any other paper in the West.
For these reasons it is the newspaper you should read during the forthcoming political campaign.
THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public.
Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West.
It presents the news in as fair a way as possible, and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the most comprehensive articles and features, if you are busy the "Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE" published daily on the first page gives you briefly all the news of the day within one column.
Its sporting news is always the best, and its Sunday Pink Sporting Section is better than any sporting paper in the country.
It is the "cleanest" daily printed in the West.

The camp is made up of colored men from Indianapolis who served in the late war in the companies of Caps. Buckner and Porter and these two officers were chiefly instrumental in organizing the camp.

The following officers were elected: Commander—Capt. J. hn J. Buckner. Senior Vice-Commander—John Edlen. Junior Vice-Commander—Walter J. Thompson.
Adjutant—J. H. Ringgold,
Quartermaster—Capt. J. M. Porter.
Claplain—Thomas Donaldson.
Officer of the Day—Sidney Moore.
Officer of the Guard—Robert S. Shobe.
Trustees—John Hicks and William Simcoe.
Capt. English followed the muster with a short speech to the camp, in which he complimented it upon the fact that it was the first camp of colored soldiers of the late war to be organized in the United States.
