He is practically a self made man. As a pastor he has served the following charges: Mt. Zion, Shelby Co., to South Frankfort Baptist church, Frankfort, at Christiansburg, Anchorage, Feewee Valley, and, finally, Centennial Olivet Baptist church, Louisville, Ky.

When that distinguished par. lianamentian feels that he has floored his victim he usually adds: "And I hope those few lines will find you well," which, when interpreted, means, that will hold you for a while. He is good humored and well means despite his caustic tongue. He is called, "The diamond in the rough." Rev. P. H. Kennedy, D.D., corresponding secretary of the association and general missionary of the State of Kentucky, is one of the greater lights of the association, as it refers to ability and length of meritorious service.

He has been invited to the meeting of the Home Mission Society for the purpose of addressing it. He has done much to bring about friendly relations between the white and colored Baptist churches of the South.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, Every now and then the poetic im- pulse becomes so strong in us we must give vent to it. The following is our latest impulse: Actor man, do you know summer's goin’? ‘oon winter's winds will be blowin’? Actor man, soon summer'll be gone, Say, is your overcoat in pawn? Note to the above: For the benefit of ‘those who may read or recite this to others, let mo say the letter ‘“t”” in the word winds must be pronounced like the word ‘‘eye.” This lends dignity to the verse. —- Owing to the late drouth the corn crop will be many millions of bushels short this year. This may be all right for that variety of corn that the earth produces; bat there is another variety of corn, and it was never known to have ashortage. Drouths affect it not, but. ‘on the contrary, is conducive to its growth. Yes, this variety of corn will give its regular yield this year. State street is being habilitated. The street had become so worn out, full o! 89 many cesspools of filth and mire, that, if it ever bad any, it had lost all of its Stateliness. Dearborn street and Ar. monr avenue have for years been mak- ing fon of State street. It may have been these two last-named streets were jealous of the repntation of State as the chief artery of trade of the South side. Any way it will not be long until State street will be enriched with all her former grandeur and stateliness, then she can turn up her nose at Dearborn and Armonr in silent contempt, and regard those thoroughfares as belng not a whit better than alleys. How is this for long distance sight- seeing? At present you can stay in Chicago and see “Way down East.” Prof. Oscar L. Triggs of the Univer- sity of Chicago says our hymns are all doggerel- This causes a shudder to actuate our frame to think that for all these years we have been attending di. vine worship we have been indulging in doggerel, and did not know it. 0! Heavens, this is worse than if some cherished friend had told us that all the time we have spent over our books, had been spent in dime novel reading.

He evidently places money-making and poetry-making on the same level. We don't blame Trigge for holding this opinion; for, if Rockefelier had done for us what he has done for him, we would go a few paces further, and declare Rockefeller to be greater than a dozen Shakespeares. N. B. We need the cai Any time s man or woman's weak: ness is touched upon, whether in public or private, he or she is. sare to wince in effect of it. A. N. Johnson, of Mobile, Ala., in addressing the National League of Colored Business Men, which held its sessions here last week, said: “One of the reasons we don’t succeed better is that as soon as one of or number gets alittle money his wife begins to dress far beyond what is reasonable. Our women are much too fond of fine Jew: elry, flashy clothes, and an air that mimics those whom it is folly to ape.” For these expressions he was almost mobbed by the feminine part of his audience when he had concluded. He defended himself by complimenting all who approached him on their individual good taste. But what Mr. Johnson said was a troth and a poignant one. It is every woman’s ambition to out-dress every other member of her sex. Her heart is never go happy as when, by some stroke of fashion, she has set the feminine tongues wagging concerning her. Suc- cess with her means dresses, hats, shoes, fineries, etc. in unlimited quantities. And us soon as her better-half begins to accumulate a littleof this world’s goods, unless he be capable of restraining her, she will go to extremes on the dress question, Ikmow women whose income is not two hundred a year, and yet they wear clothes that could not be bought with less than eight or ten hundred a year. What is the result? Indebtedness, or else some necessity must make up the deficiency. One cause of so much sexual vice in the world is this uncontrollable, not-to-be suppressed longing in women for fine clothes. Fine clothes they must have, Lonorably, if possible, if not dis- honorably. ‘We must teach onr women that it is better to dress ordinarily, and keep with- in the earning, than it is to lead the fashion, and ran in debt or dishonor. ‘The following poem by J. Gordon Coogler shows he is aware of one of women’s greatest weaknesses: ‘Alas! poor woman, with eyes of sparkling fire, Thy heart is often won by mankind's gay attire; So weak thou art, so very weak at best ‘Thou canst not look beyond a satin-lined vest. I've soen thee ofttimes cast a winning glance ‘And be carried away—as it were within a ‘trance— By the gay apparel of some dishonest youth, ‘Whose bosom heaved not a single truth, Alas for thee I would that thou coldst learn ‘That lovedoos not in such quicksilver burn; ‘That he who lurks beside thy virtuous path When thy good name fs gone, will gaze on thee and laugh. For what care ho, whom thy fair hand would take, If in after years thy gentle heart should break: No tears of remorse would damp his way- ! ward eyos— Such tears only come ere the conscience dies, A man never knows what a power he is in 8 community until along about election times: If our prima-donnas would only stick assiduously to such songs as ‘Kentucky Home” it may be the means of them securing a deed to an ‘Illinois Home.” Dr. Andrews, Chancellor of the Uni- versity of Nebraska, and former Super- intendent of Schools of Chicago, has provoked much criticism and discussion by his conumdram: “When is a lie not alie.” It is one of those fine points of ethics that cannot be decided in a moment, in fact there is not the least doubt but that as long as the world laste 1t will be debatable. ‘This question is by no means @ new one, for, for ages it has been # theme for debating societies. We remember in our youth we took the affirmative side of the enbjact “Is a lie ever justi. fiable?” and sneceeded in disposing o! our opponents. Supposing there was no lying at all going on in the world wonld it be suct adelectable place to live in after all Suppose every statement that was mad to one was the strict trath, would he b happier? I hardly think s0, How would a young lady feel, for instance were we, When we chanced to meet her instead of telling her how pleasing sh¢ looked, and how such and such a gar ‘ment became her, tell her that she had ‘on powder enough for a dozen women, and her dress was a “fright,” or her hat silly-looking and mirth-provoking? If ‘we have told her a lieisit not justifiable by the good results brought about? Had we told her the trath we would have made her a bitter enemy, and caused a general unpleasantness all around. How often do we spend a few hours of real misery in the company of others, bat what we, when we take our depar- ture, say what an enjoyable time we have had? Common courtesy, the ce- ment of friendship, compels us not to do otherwise. ‘When a person displays his or her talent it may be mediocre, or even much worse than this, bat pradence ictates that we should hand them a few ‘‘white lies” in the nature of com- pliments. Prudence isa virtue but in this case it must be supported by a lie. What man is there, if he is so full of truth he is ready to burst, but will to her face compliment the worst of singers? Lying is such a necessity to life we really live lies and seem not to realize it. Goldsmith says when you wish to borrow money from person go to him Gressed in your best, Let your clothes do the lying. Persons will go to church with all their fineries on, their whole appearance and demeanor saying “I am worth five or ten thousand a year,” when in truth their six or eight-dollar house rent is in arrears. Suppose you are sick almost unto death, how would you feel were a friend to state what he really believed by tell- ing you he could see death settling on your countenance? Wonld it not have made you feel better, and probably been a means to convalescence for him to have waived the truth and said ‘My! but you are certainly looking so much better.” As far as we are concérned we believe a lie is harmless where the motive is good. A statement discordant with truth, and with a bad motive is a lie that is sinful. Lying with good motives is just as necessary to friendship, suc- cess, and other virtues as rain is to the earth.

He began his recordbreaking career al- most with his first race, when as a three year-old he got a mark of 2:11} in an eight-heat race. That was four years ago He was started in thirty-five races, and won twenty-one. He has never landed outside the money. The races which he lost were when he was an ungainly, lop sided two-year-old, so awkward that he nearly fell over himself, or as a three" year-old, when he went out of bis class. He has won eixty-four heats in 2:30 o1 better, fifty-three in 2:10 or better, twenty-one in 2:08 or better, and has trotted nine miles faster than 2:05. Last season he lowered both the race and time record for stallions, and this summer he has already reduced five world’s trotting records. In addition to being the champion trotter of the world, he holds the stallion record, the race record, the record for the fastest heat ever trotted in a race, and the fastest two and three heats ever trotted in competition, Unless some aew cham pion appears, Cresceus now has only himself to beat, as he holds every im portant trotting record. He is now after the two-tainute mark, and while he has not been subjected tc an interview on the subject, his owner, George Ketcham, who is also his confi dant and adviser, says that under favor able conditions Cresceus will trot a mil in two minutes or less before the clos of the harness racing season, ‘Mr. Ketcham says that this will b the last season of Crescens on the track after which the great horse will be re tired to. life of ease and luxury, suc! few horses have ever enjoyed. see Mr. Ketcham will do this, too, fo | he is one of Ohio’s richest men and cai ‘the benefit has been extraordinary.

Under the caption of the “Race Ques- tion in Hotels” the Courier-Journal of Lonisville, Ky. had a very excellent article in its laat Sunday’s issue. Not excellent in that it espouses the Negroes cause, but because it represents the true state of affairs regardless of its own peculiar wishes or desires in the matter. It gave # cold analytical expression of its impressions of the racial straggle, which we firmly believe will do more towards patting a better face on affairs than any hypocritical pretense, no mat- ter by whom made, Says the Conrier- Journal: St. Ermin’s hotel, in London. is get- ting 8 good deal of free advertising in ‘consequence of the admission of Negroes on the same footing as whites. Wheth- er the notoriety shall be profitable 1n the long run may be a question, bat that makes but little difference. The point of interest is that the English pipers seize it to vant thelr superior liberality in dealing with the race ques tion, It is true that England has for many years claimed that the air wafting over her soil or that over which she has dominion was too pure for a slave to breathe. The expression is pompous and platitudinons, caloulated to give rise to the theory that in her domains their ex- ists that utmost liberty, the Tarner brand, which is enjoyed by whites and lacks in common. And, indeed, it seems to be borne ont when we think of the islands, Jamaica for example, where the Negroes are in large numbers and are known as having made some head- way. Yet this fair faced supposition must not be too eagerly embraced for there stands, and has stood for two years, in the ‘‘Jamaica Advocate,” a publication of Kingston, an expression about like this: ‘Wanted, the whites and blacks to get along amicably to. gether.” The necessity for the expres- sion certainly exists or else it would disappear. We are not inclined to hoot down England’s theoretical love for the Negro, but it must remain a theory until simi, lar conditions make a test possible Until the test comes we will not hold i in good taste to berate our own land and country unless prepared to fly t that better one held ont by England o any other country. It is very likel that hardships against the race will no be diminished as long as we hold othe peoples countries as the refuge and ye abide with the oppressors. Reasor would suggest that the haven should b fled unto and thns end the struggle a once. ‘The matter will not end s0 easily however, and we take no violent excer tion to the views of the Courier-Jour nal when it says: ‘With reference to the reception o free persons of color into hotels, it is condition and not a theory with’ whic the proprietors have to deal. It may b profitable for English hotels to adm Them, because they do not see them i large nambers, and have to deal main! with the best epecimens of the race This gives the proprietors little reaso: for complimenting themselves on thei liberality, when the fact is they ar simply responding to the cold demand of business. In those parts of the Unite States in which Negroes are numerous and for the most part undesirable guest: the proprietors have no choice but t exclude this class of customers or t close their houses. It does not mak the least difference whether they thin! this is due to unjustifiable race preju dlosor not. ‘They must, in either event accept the situation as it is. and tak notice of the conditions under whic their business is possible. Were Englis! hotel-keepers confronted with simila conditions they would do precisely the Americans do in the same business ‘When they talk about their superic Uberality they are indulging in a bit 0 cant that costs them nothing, but whic THE FRE. aN: _AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPE.

In our own country there could be no exception to that class that is able to go to England and stop at hotels. If they suffer at home it is because of their vast constituency and the preclusion of the possibility for microscopic investigation in order to discriminate in their favor We are not yet ready to repudiate our own country in favor of any coun- try that now and then tenders a spas- modic smile in our favor. The thing must be tried; England or other conn: tries must have the conditions of the United States. If given the conditions and then these outside countries stand blindfolded with outstretched bands to receive all comers, if the Negroes do not go what about them? If any now firm ly belieye that there exists a better land than America who forbids the going? The stand taken by the St. Ermin hotel, England, was proper and the managers are to be congratulated. But, at that, England must not think that that was a remarkable stand; it simply withstood protests. There is scarcely a firet class hotel in any Northern city of America that will not accommodate that class of patronage, henice we cannot understand why the incident stands so conspicuous. What do we mean? We mean to defend our own country unti others offer us better advantages, and when these are offered only fools will stay here.

Rev J W Hawkins, Revs E 8 Smith, of Owensburgh, and J E Wood, of Danville, Ky., made noble efforts to land the next year’s association. Smith showed supreme strategical ability; the committee actually recommended Owens” burgh, due supposedly to Smith’s fine nand, Hawking, et al., very soon knocked out that proposition—ballotting was in order. Haw? kins won with hands down, “UP THE LADDER IN MISSIONS.” Among the recent publications by Negroes none is more worthy of consid eration than the volume of about 260 pages, which its author, Rev. Dr. Jor dan, secretary of Foreign Missions, has very appropriately called Up the Ladder in Missions It was in 1896 that Rev.L G. Jordan, then pastor of Union Baptist church, Philadelphia, was elected Foreign Mis sion Secretary. His position afforded the best opportunity for studying the mission question, The Rey. Dr. John H. Frank, of Lonieville, Ky., speaking of this work throngh the introductory pages, says: The author and compiler, the Rev. L.

The sub-division “Steppini Stones in Mission” is a chronologica recapitulation of the main events in thy field of missions generally from 1788 t 1901 It is interesting and valuable. | ‘The author hes, after much expens ‘and time, given the world an acceptable summary of the missionary effort from aspotolic days down—a veritable ency- clopcedia of information for those who contemplate entering that engaging field of labor or for those interested in the work. Bat its the Baptist that Dr. Jordan has most to do with in his very well written volume, in which there is a com- plete history of that denomination’s missionary effort from 1813 down to the present time. The anthorsays up until this time that church had been over- shadowed by other denominations It had been unduly taxed and fined for the testimony it bore However, since that time the church has taken fresh courage and, as the volume shows, stand amid the foremost denominations in the at- tempt to save the heathen nations to Christ The volume at this point speaks ape- cifically of the work amid the natives of Africa, of a long list of laborers, many of whom have gone to their reward.

King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words.
