Nashville, Teen., Special.—Beautiful St. John A. M. E. church presented a beautiful scene last Friday night. The occasion which called out a large representative gathering was in honor of Rt. Revs. Evans Tyree and Chas. S. Smith, recently elected bishops in the A. M. E. Church. The ladies of the church had decorated both the auditorium where the reception took place and the basement where the banquet was served. It was a denominational affair but all classes of our people were recognized and assisted in making the affair a success. Rev. James A. Davis, the leading spirit in the movement presided at the reception, and Capt. Geo. T. Robinson, acted as toastmaster. The music which was excellent was furnished by two choirs. Distinguished divines from surrounding towns were in attendance. Rev. Nelson McGarock, one of the fathers of Methodism in Tennessee was present. Although the reception and banquet were given in honor of both the newly made bishops, Bishop Smith left for Detroit, Mich., his future home. An elaborate program was prepared for the occasion and much eloquence learning and enthusiasm were manifested. Bishop Tyree in responding thanked his friends for the kindly interest taken in him and said his election made him feel very humble. As he entered the church he received an ovation. Dr. Jas. A. Davis called the house to order at 8:45 and an interesting program was renedered. Those holding tickets repaired to the banquet hall at the close of the literary program where a bountiful spread was served from the Boyd Cafe. After the first course was eaten the toast master rapped for order and after a few remarks stating that the master of ceremonies had requested him to serve, the following toasts to our newly elected bishops were said: On behalf of our Bishops, Rev. T. B. Caldwell, D. D.; On behalf of our Public Schools, Prof. F. G. Smith; On behalf of our Doctors, R. F. Boyd M. D.; On behalf of our Lawyers, Capt. G. T. Robinson, A. M., L. L.

Read The Freeman TOM THE TATTLER. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. 2 I think that when germs is used for germans abbreviation has been carried a trifle too far. *** The Tattler last week stated that Robert A. Kelley was a probability with Isham's Octoroons. This is wrong, he is a certainty with the "Hottest Coon in Dixie" company as Manager Miller's contract slumbers peacefully in his inside pocket. * * A new team in vaudeville-Yeager, Kelley and Yeager, are on at the Chicago Opera House this week. I have not seen them as yet but they should do a good turn provided the male Yeager is of any force. Mrs. Yeager and Mr. Kelley have been seen here in vaudeville and made good. --- Frank Mallory was circulating in town among his friends last week. He was on a still-hunt for singing talent to strengthen the Octoroons. Of course what he was looking for he found. Chicago can supply a dozen shows like the Octoroons with talent and then it will not be missed. It is like drawing a bucket of water from the lake the gap is filled so quickly that it is hardly missed. The town has such a lay out of talent, that were a roof to be placed over the neighborhood of Twenty-seventh and State streets, it would be a vaudeville theatre. --- P. R. Miller was in Gotham last week inspecting the theatrical field and I learn that he has succeeded in placing up his sleeve a pair of novelties which will be sprung when the season begins. As a theatrical manager and hustler, he is hard to excel. ** A certain young lady had heard some one speaking about "tinkers." She asked me to tell her the meaning of it but I confess I was unable, on the spur of the moment, to tell her. As the word is of slang derivation and is not in the dictionary, I will vouchsafe a definition. A "tinker," is a man who has acquired a virulent antipathy to work and knows just enough, and can execute just enough, music to ruin the chances of musicians. --- Little Tommy was delighted and exceedingly enthusiastic with the new study he had just begun. It was music, and Tommy had vowed to himself that he would never rest until he had acquired a mastery of this art which has "power to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend the knotted oak." One day his oldest sister, Mabel, was singing one of the late, popular love ballads when Tommy rushed in the room quite agitated at the same time exclaiming, "Mabel, that is wrong; you must spank the minutes." "Spank the minutes," reiterated Mabel looking at her brother with that dejected look with which one gazes on a lunatic, "why what do you mean? Are you crazy? I don't know anything about spanking the minutes." "That is what the teacher said," cried Tommy "and she knows more than you do. She said a person should never sing without spanking the minutes." "Spanking the minutes," mused his sister, "I wonder what he means." By and by a gleam of intelligence lit up her face like a ray of sunshine bursting through a cloud, and she says. "Now Tommy I have an idea what you mean, you don't mean spank the minutes, but you mean to say that when I sing I must beat the time." "That's it," gleefully chirped Tommy, "I knew it was something about a whipping or flogging of some kind." --- Messrs. Crane and Garland after making a formidable resistance against the weather were forced to succumb with their little tent show. Whereas their dying efforts will be much appreciated by the professon, yet the move they made in trying to launch a show when the weather indications were all against them it doesn't display an over-supply of wisdom. Had they casually glanced over the weather department in any one of our metropolitan dailies they might now be counting hundreds of dollars which are now in the air. It pays to read the papers once in a while. --- A certain lady from the ranks of the profession has opened a boarding house in town, and as she has traveled with most of the theatrical people in town, she makes a specialty of catering to them. Her dinners are served family style; that is you pay her twenty-five cents, and pitch in to the delicacies of the season with which her table is continually loaded. The other day she was standing on her door step and noticed away down the street a bunch of professionals, headed by Will Humphrey, coming her way. She at once showed that she possessed great diplomatic THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ability. Rushing in the house she sizzed her "For Rent" sign, closed the shutters and hung the sign where it was very conspicuous. The bunch of professionals passed by in blissful ignorance wondering where they could get something good to eat. The lady was evidently on speaking terms with the appetites of these gentlemen. * * * Marsh Craig is in town. He has just returned from Charleston, W. Va., where he, in conjunction with James Lacy and W. O. Terry, runs a saloon. Marsh is looking very well and is ready to begin his season's work. * * * The weather so far has [worked disaster on the picnic yet the picnic keeps coming serenely to the front. The spirit of progression seems to be creeping into every thing. Last week William Wheeler came home, sat himself down to the piano, played awhile, arose from the stool, went to the next room, drank a dose of poison, returned to the piano, and played until he toppled over dead. This is certainly a decided improvement in suicides. I hardly think it could be called a ragtime suicide for all the parts in it were played too evenly. The name of the air he played when he fell dead has, not been made known. Possibly it was a “Hot Time.” *** Suicides nowadays are becoming old-fashioned. A more unique method is, if you are tired of life and wish to bring it to a hurried close, to go to Kentucky and be elected governor or go to St. Louis and ride on the Traction company's cars. Both methods are fully warranted to do the business. --- Mr. Morris Smith, one night last week sang at the "Blue Ribbon" downtown. He captivated his audience. His singing was par-excellent, he being the possessor of an unusually sweet, musical baritone voice. His stage deportment is superb. It is refreshing to look on him make his entrances and exits, especially after we have witnessed so many of our singers especially the men, come on and quit the stage with the manner of hod carriers. It takes more to please the audience than the voice. The Tattler has not forgotten how one of our crack singers deported himself at one of our leading theatres recently. When he quitted the stage, one would have thought he was trying to upset it, so ungainly was he. The future looks bright for Morris as he possesses all the ingredients to make a successful baritone soloist, provided time (for he is yet a youth) does not change his voice to one of bass. *** Bobby Kemp and Harvey Goodal were working at the Chicago Opera House last week. --- THE ELECTION AT JAYVILLE. In these days of rush and scramble to get the positions which our large cities offer we are liable to, and frequently do, overlook our smaller towns. Every state in this blessed household of states has its hundreds of towns, with their unrivalled brass bands, great statesmen, orators and other pompous personages too numerous to mention. Any state—Illinois for instance—judging from the expeditious manner her most rural statesmen can dispose of the deep problems of statecraft, could furnish enough statesmen to fill all the vacancies that would occur in the presidency during this century. In the southern part of Illinois where the beautiful rolling prairie lands stretch es away to the east to be kissed by the first rays of the morning sun, there reposes a very small town with a name which requires just twenty-one of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet to produce it in print—hence to save time, labor in writing, etc., we will call it Javille. Now there resides in Jayville, one Solomon Snodgrass Timberleaf, who, indeed is a mighty man; and in his native town, Solomon is the "whole thing." Never since the ark of Noah nestled on Ararat did one man represent so many different things. We can only mention a few. In his native burg Sol, as he is familiarly called, runs the only drug store in conjunction with the only undertaking establishment in town. If you were distasteful and displeasing to Sol in other words, if you incurred his enmity, he would simply take you in by way of the drug store, and your finish could be seen by an unusual activity displayed in the undertaking branch of Sol's place of multifarious business. In politics Jayville, which numbers 2,401 inhabitants, until recently stood by actual canvassing 1200 Republicans and 1201 Democrats; the other parties having no supporters. Sol besides running the only drug store and undertaking establishment in BEFORE. AFTER. course the colored people had no way to tell that they were being fooled and bought most of them to their sorrow.

Jayville, had in conjunction with these, under the same roof, the principal grocery, dry goods, music and gents' furnishing store in the town. His neighbors used to say that a babe might be born in Sol's place of business, be thoroughly fitted out, reared to man or womanhood as the case may be, and finally ushered into eternity without ever leaving the place. The time for election was at hand. The Democrats, with the assurance of a long line of continued victories, had nominated Jonathan Hapgood. For a Democrat to be nominated in Jayville was the equivalent of an election. The contest was for the mayoralty and Jonathan [Hapgood had already received some letters with the word "mayor" in the address. The Republicans were non-plused. They had sought so far in vain for a person to head their ticket. No one was willing to enter a contest where the Democrats had an absolute certainty of winning by one vote. After much deliberation among the wise ones of the party Sol was induced to head the mayoralty ticket for the Republics. He bore the reputation of being a determined man; had never lost a struggle wherein he was a candidate for any office whatsoever, as his present incumbency of the offices, head of the Jayville fire department and presiding official of the Masons, testified. But this was one time when his friends knew he was sure to be defeated. Various remarks were made concerning him. "What on earth could he have been thinking about to accept the nomination," said a prominent Jayville Democrat. "They must of drugged him into accepting it." remarked another and in this way things wore on. After his nomination Sol was more attentive to his business than ever, making no effort toward a campaign, not even using the expression: "Fellow citizens." Upon this grand and glorious occasion it gives me the greatest pleasure" once. Instead of speech making he was busily engaged in advertising and selling a new spring medicine of his own 'make, which eventually became the Jayvillian fad. The whole town was sounding its praises and busied each other telling the wonderful cures it had effected. Between the campaign and the spring medicine the town was kept busy and saw but little rest. When ever a knot of men gathered, it was either the issues of the campaign or the spring medicine they were discussing. At last election day rolled around. A sorrowful election day it was too, for the death of two Jayvillians, the night before had thrown a damper on the otherwise hillarity incident to a day of this sort. The full vote was pulled and when the final count was made the people of Jayville were electrified to find that the result stood: Solomon Snodgrass Timberleaf . . . Solomon Snoodgrass Timberland 1200 Jonathan Happgood (Dem) 1199 Jonathan Haggard (Dear) The next edition of the weekly Jayville Screamer, official Democratic or gan of the town, contained the following news items: "Yesterday the funerals of Hiram Jones and Greenleaf Whitcomb took place from the Methodist and Presbyterian churches respectively. They were two of our oldest citizens and had been life long Democrats." ```markdown ``` Why don't all the professional people read The Freeman? Its the greatest newspaper of the race.

Emotionlism in Negro worship is rapidly giving away to those better forms of religious demonstrations as is witnessed on every hand amid the more enlightened races. It is another indication of progress being made in the right direction. How the race gained the idea that religious exercises were opportunities to give vent to the feelings is not certain. Yet it is known that most savage peoples on special occasions feel that excessive shouting, lamenting, yelling is a part of their racial life. It is their unwritten law, from which not one or at least not many seem to take exceptions. The unearthly war dances and ghost dances of the American Indians are sincere rites so far as they are concerned. Many African tribes are given to war dancing, a quasi-religious demonstration that seems to serve as an outlet for their effervescent feelings which is attendant on the preparation for deeds of great empruse. This emotion doubtless finds its counterpart in civilized nations; but in more decorous ways. The fervor noted in great campaigns the applause that greets the orator that spell-binds, the response to the singer that sang "the song that reached my heart" are no more nor less than that same emotion toned down—civilized emotion. The Frenchman rushes to battle singing the Marseillaise, a song accompanied by so many horrible deeds during the Revolution, that it was for a time interdicted; the American is inspired by "America" or the "Star Spangled Banner," or perhaps, "There will be a hot time in the old town to-night;" the soldier from Great Britain becomes a thing of terror with the singing of "Rule Britania Rule" or "God Save the Queen." Civilized peoples are not free from emotion. The man in the great convention is ready to throw away his hat, divest himself of his coat and other sundry wearing apparel, which to him, for the time, has become useless and valueless. To insist that the emotions are not aroused in church services would be to deny the same under other circumstances. But as in other circumstances they may be controlled. There is no appreciable difference in the kind of emotion aroused. It may be assumed that the same strings are played on in all cases. It is not imagined that one is forced to give vent to his feelings unless he desires. It seems a matter totally within the volition. The idea obtains that when emotions excited by religion are restrained, that it is "suppressing the spirit of the Lord." It is true that the Bible stands in defense. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. of emotion, but it is not thought that it has in view a religious excitement, that amounts to frenzy. There is nothing more beautiful in church worship than the ocasional clapping of the hands indicative a peace and repose of the soul that words fail to tell. The occasional exclaiming of the mercies of God would not be unbecoming to the most staid religious bodies. There are manifestations that could as well be suppressed, which would in no wise lessen the devotee in the eyes of the Master, yet add much to the tone of religious services. The idea of religiosity, which term is often applied to religion as practiced by the race will soon give away if the same rate of progress is maintained. The children to-day are getting a newer notion of the hing. To many of them, the idea of intense religious demonstration is totally foreign. It only proves the effect of environment. They have no innate promptings of the thing; they follow suit. It is Locke, the English philosopher, who maintains that man has no innate conception of a God. He may be right, he may be wrong; but it is evident that the conception of worship is not innate but is caught from association. Then again there are far too many who are preaching just for that effect, demonstration; too many singing for it, too many praying for it. But they violate the proprieties when they eke out the half fanatical emotions with their own inventions in order to be known as an efficient preacher. However, this order is giving away to those who live with the age, as it should be. Good morals and manners may be wanting in the Negro race, is wanting, but they are not alone in the manner. There are others who have adjustable manners and fluctuating morals, that like your horizon, is not always the same. The race has pinned its faith to the efficacy of industrialism and education feeling that these are the things it does not possess sufficiently to indicate the future. The race is not being held up owing to any moral delinquency. It has goodness in its favor. The white people of the country know this. The lack of it has not impeded the progress of the race for a single moment, and should the race be goodness personified, it would do but very little more towards solving the race problem. The morals of the race like the morals of all lowly mankind need attention, but it will be shameful to attribute the lack of progress in America to the lack of good morals. It is a belated cry; one that will grow constantly thinner as it speeds along. There are men and women of the race that compare with the best in this thing of good morals. They will have a singular duty to perform if they must wait to bring up the total race before they can get what is due them in the way of respect and consideration. This duty is not assigned to members of other races. Out with the idea that classifies all according to the meanest, in order to make a case! The race question means eternity if the whole is judged bad until the last man is good. Make morals an object of reformation but not a race issue. Dr. F. G. Snelson, of Sierra Leone, Africa, presiding elder of the Sierra Leone District with headquarters at Free Town, delivered a very interesting lecture at Wayman Chapel church Monday evening, the synopsis of which will appear later in this paper. Dr. Snelson has done a great work. His efforts will not be appreciated until he tells the story of his contact with the Africans of the bush, whose limited expressions and words makes life harder to missionaries than the effects of the importation of European rum. To hear Snelson was an opportunity. The Afro-American Council will meet in Indianapolis the latter part of August. We take this occasion to call attention to the meeting. From the comment gleaned from race papers there is much interest manifested as to the outcome of this meeting. There is sometime to do in making ready for the members of the Council, among whom are some of the best men in America. It is hoped that the citizens will not be slow in appreciating their responsibility in the matter. In writing "Know Thyself" Mr. Howard has bequeathed to the race a legacy to which they can ever point with pride. Look for the first chapter in our issue of July 21. WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH IT? The Afro-American Council has done the proper thing in asking the Democratic convention to include in its code of principles a statement condemning the system of disfranchising that is now being carried out by some Southern states. It is right to appeal to both of the great parties, or for that matter, to all of them, asking them to register their protest against the pernicious system now in vogue. This manifest opposition will, at least, create sentiment. While, at present, those who insist on this process of political reversion, seem impervious to sentiment, yet they are not. Keep hammering away and though adverse sentiment be as adamantine walls, it must give away before the ceaseless application of the battering-ram. The fact of it is; they are wrong. And unless the public conscience is totally seared it must at last hearken to the dictates of justice. Those psychologi al laws that operate with the single individual should be as efficacious with the generality. That great scientist indeed will be out of joint if it fails to do for the totality what it promises to do in particular. The great public has been driven to do the right things. Under the enabling influences of such women as Harriet Beecher Stowe, and such men as William Lloyd Garrison, Wendel Phillips, Lovejoy, Whittier and hundreds of others, the weight of slavery was cleared from the public mind. The struggle that followed was no more nor less than a complement to that age of civil depression; it was an atonement. There was a great sacrifice—like all great movements require. Christ, Himself knew that it must be so, His death and suffering to establish a great truth, and to inaugurate a great movement. This era may be the crucible—the refining furnace of the Negroes' tribulations before the curtain drops on the third act of the Negroes' advent in America—slavery — emancipation — citizenship, without expressed or mental reservation. The foregoing may be too visionary. I , in the language of De Bergerac, may be all too sweet, to be true, but it is logical; it is the expected. This age is certainly the period of the "troubling of the waters" with the Negroes. The efficacy lies in plunging in and receiving the blessing. The unrest, the agitation are most hopeful signs of the better morrow. Death and decay are the other names for indifference, and half-heartedness. Apathy kills, while activity either for or against quickens. It means about the same to the future race whether the tide is for or against it; if against it, it can only result in a corresponding activity that will surpass the mere nullifying of anv effect, hence an increment to the races good. It gains in force and strength what is lost in speed. Even the laws of natural philosophy are not at naught in racial movements. It is left to the race to take advantage of the agitation. It is the time to go on dress parade. The zone of calms has been passed. The race is no longer a sargasso—sea. The Afro-American made a splendid move when it sought to have the great parties incorporate a plank in their platforms, that denounced the evils of the day. It deserves to be congratulated. It will sustain its brilliant reputation for, "standing for the Negroes," if it does not falter and allow itself to be swallowed up by a political vortex. The race question and politics while converging at points, are not the same. The Colored American has taken a poke at H. C. Smith of Ohio. It says he took one of his bumps to Philadelphia with him. It must have been his anti-Myers bump which he has been so faithfully nursing for a term of years. It says that Smith is a huge joke, and that he is most amusing when most serious. In Baltimore a colored man was sentenced to be hanged for assaulting a white girl. And it is said that the culprit simply grinned as the Judge pronounced the death sentence. If this fellow was white a commission would be appointed to look into his sanity. But he is black and that removes him from all such considerations.—The Philadelphia Tribune The poor devil had nothing else to do except to grim. He knew that a good grin was about all that was coming to him that he appreciated; so he just grinned away. However, it was not necessary to have let him out on the plea of insanity. If the man committed the crime let him grin and hang. He got what the race is contending for; a trial. Because the white people work the insanity racket, it does not make it right. Besides it is not the rule that white men escape punishment even when shamming insanity—give them justice. The very generous Milwaukee correspondent of the Chicago Appeal says: "There are several Afro-Americans here who wish to establish a weekly paper in the interest of the race The Indianapolis Freeman is worth more to the race than all the other jon nals combined. We would advise some active young man to secure the agency here as he could dispose of a hundred or more copies per week. We have more worthless papers throughout the country than we can support." This very great compliment to The Freeman is highly appreciated. It is waste of time to say anything about the proposed Negro political party. There is none, never was one and never will be any. The superfluous proposition dies a boring.—The Lexington (Ky.) Standard. And furthermore, there ought to be none. It was Nero who wished that the necks of Romans might be twisted into one great whole; that he might chop off their heads at one fell blow. There are Neros with us yet. Danville News.

His work speaks for itself wherever seen; his pastel painting cannot be surpassed for beauty and artistic taste; his paintings from real life are wonderful in their life like appearance. His pencil sketches of Southern homes and Negro log cabins as they appear on Southern plantations are artistic wonders, on account of their life like appearance. He is second to none as a sketching artist.

He is the only Negro in America who can lecture to an audience of a thousand or more people and draw a picture of some one in that audience and never stop talking. He will draw the picture in eight minutes. Mr. Jacq'es as a race lecturer on the business avenues of life can not be surpassed in entertaining our people. He can hold any audience of our people, spell bound at times and then again in a roar of laughter from two to three hours. He is certainly arousing our people wherever he lectures to enter into the business world and do something for themselves. He has traveled through thirty-one states and the Dominion of Canada and lectured to our people and opened classes. He has taught large classes in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, New Haven Conn., Cleveland O., Toronto, Can., London, Can., Detroit, Mich., Chicago, St. Louis Mo., Memphis and Nashville, Tenn., New Orleans Atlanta Ga., Jacksonville Fla., Richmond Va., Cincinnati, O., Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis and hundreds of other places where he has lectured to crowded churches and churches and organized art classes.

Wright Discovers a Cure for Lost Manhoed and ends it Free to Every Sufferer Who Will Write for it Gratitude is ous of the noblest Im- pulses of the human heart and in few instances has this fine quality been so conspicuously exemplified as in the case of George B. Wright, of Marshall. Mr, Wright is a merchant and well known citizen of Marshall, Mich., who was permanently cured of lost man- ‘hood and nervous debility after declin- ing health for years. He now devotes ‘his life to helping other men who suf- fer as he once suffered Mr. Wright offers to send his medical prescription that effected a cure in his case to ev- ery reader who is suffering to-day as he suffered. All who will drop him a letter asking for a copy of the pre- scription will receive it by return mail free of charge. ‘The following editorial by A. N. Tal- ly, M. D., regarding Mr. Wright's pre- scription for lost manhood appeared in the December issue of the United States Health ixeports, published at Washington, D. 0.: We, as tne highest American author- ity, on all matters of health, sanitation and hygiene, are constantly receiving letters of inquiry about a reliable cure for lost strength in men. "Therefore we have ordered an inves- ‘tigation to be made into the subject, ‘and our medical staff found there were ‘many so-called cures on the market, ‘but that many were worthless and some actually harmful. Therefore when we came upon the prescription furnished free by George B. Wright, a merchant of Marshall, Mich., we in- stituted examination and found that its wonderful efficacy depended upon its being exactly compounded accord- ing to proper chemical requirements in order to establish the proper chemical actions and reactions in the human system, and that it should especially, and above all, contain each and every ingredient named in the prescription, otherwise it would be quite inactive and worthless. Properly mixed and containing ev- erything called for in the prescription, its effect upon the nerve centers is truly wonderful and its nerve tonic properties easily surpassed all ordinary methods of medication. ‘Among the benefactors of the race may be mentioned the said George B. Wright, inasmuch that he gives this grand discovery free to all who write for it. ‘Taken according to directions, it builds up the weak and restores to full size and vigor the nerve muscles. Tt brings hope and cheer and lifts up the discouraged man so that he once more enjoys the beauties of nature and the pleasures of life. Failure in business and love surely falls upon him who is weakened physically and mentally, and “is sad condition is at once relieved and a new man made of him who uses this prescription. ‘Wherefore, upon the highly favorable report of our medical staff we extend to George B. Wright's prescription for Jost manhood the full editorial and offi cial endorsement of the United States health reports. As certain as a wound leaves a scar, and as sure as effect fol- lows cause, do men live to repent their follies and indiscretions in weakness and suffering, The tortured sufferer may bear no tell-tale marks of ruin upon his face to betray his lost man- hood. He goes to his grave a human wreck, and never tells of his sufferings tor fear of shame. Such mental an- guish at times drives him to the verge of desperation, and he is easy prey for those vultures in human form—quack doctors—who hold out alluring hopes of cure only to disappoint, and after robbing him of his money, plunge bim into absolute despair. No one can appreciate these horrors of lost manhood except he who suf- fered them. No one can help such suf- ferers except he who knows a cure and has himself been restored to full man- hood. A notable cure of lost manhood in an extreme case was effected in the person of George B. Wright, a music dealer and well known citizen of Marshall, Mich. Mr. Wright for years suffered the agony of lost vital powers. He saw his physical power go from him as the result of insidious disease, until he was reduced to a con- dition of senility, and the best doctors in the country gave him up to die. Like many others, he tried the va- tious remedies offered by specialists for the treatment of weaknesses pecul- far to men, and it was this experience that drove him to a little study and research for his own benefit. He asserts that his ten years’ suf fering, both mentally and physically, was turned to unbounded Joy in a sin- gle night through a rare combination of medicines that literally made him young again. It is the prescription of ‘this discovery that his enthusiasm leads him to offer free to any man, young or old, who feels that itis ani- mation or the fire of ambition has lef' him and needs something that’ will brace him up and enable him to be prepared for any undertaking whick may present itself. ‘There is no question but what in his individual case the results were just ‘as described, and {t seems quite prob- able that any man who believes him- self to be weak may profit by sending for this free prescription. Many peo- ple wonder how he can afford to send ‘this prescription free, but it costs him little to do so, and he feels a philan throple Interest in giving weak men an opportunity to cure themselves. A request to G. B. Wright, musi dealer, box No. 908, Marshall, Mich. for his free preseription will be promptly and privately complied with by return mail. How’s This.

The Phelp's Hall Bible Training School conducted in connection with the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute offers exceptional opportunities for young men who wish to prepare for the Christian Ministry. A special building known as the Phelp's Hall Bible Training School is set apart for this department of the work. It contains a chapel, library, reading room, office, three recitation rooms and forty sleeping rooms. The teaching is wholly undemnational, the purpose being to help all denominations and not to antagonize any. The cost of board is $8 per month and students are given a chance to work out a portion of this, leaving as a rule, but five or six dollars to pay in cash. A few who have no money are given an opportunity to work out all of their expenses. Lack of means need debar none. The teaching in this department is free. The next school term begins September 11.

Afro-American Catholics. There are over thirty Catholic priests laboring exclusively among Afro-Americans and they have over one hundred and ten schools. Catholic Afro Americans are bunched in Maryland, Louisiana and Kentucky. The only national collection of the Catholic church in the United States is taken up yearly for the benefit of Afro-Americans. The cardinal of Baltimore and archbishops of St. Louis and Philadelphia form a committee to whom is entrusted this collection for distribution. So says Father Slattery, a prominent priest of the church and educator of Afro-American youths. Catholics. He recently purchased for his church a large tract of land near Montgomery, Ala., upon which will be erected another school for the young men of the race members of the Catholic church, who desire to become priests, teachers, etc. This is carrying the work "in Africa," so to speak, and ought to open the half-col sed eyes of some of our Protestant church connections (white. There is one thing about education received in Catholic institutions the race does not thoroughly appreciate, and that is that respect for American prejudice is not taught in them. This is too often the case in Protestant institutions of learning for our people presided over by whites. Rev. Slattery made a good speech at the Montgomery, Ala., conference.

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.

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 me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Shea. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble to go to him at once. Sincerely, 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. Dr. Shea can show thousands such as he above. DR.
