EPISCOPAL HONORS DOCTOR J. M. CONNORS A PROMI- ENT CANDIDATE GENERAL CONFERENCE MATTER By Rev. J. G. Robinson, D. D., one of the Ablest Writers in the A. M. E. Church—The Freeman a Great Help to the Church—Men and Measures. EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN:—We, of the great A. M. E. Church, have all along looked to you to give us space that our views may reach the masses of our membership and ministry, and thus help us in effecting such measures as will be helpful to the growth and government of our church. The Freeman is sought, especially the year previous to our general conference, as eagerly as the church papers. Much that ought to be said and would be said through the journals of the church is crowded out for one cause or another, possibly better known to the editors, hence the manly spirit of resistance against official power used in the wrong direction, rises up in us and we come to The Freeman, and always get a hearing, and we can say much of the good that is accomplished from time to time in our general conferences is brought about on account of the healthy public sentiment mounded through the columns of The Free. man. We, of the eighth episcopal district, will within a few weeks, elect our delegation to the Chicago general conference. Many of us are striving to elect a delegation that will look after every interest of the curch. By wise and judicious legislation we can remove much of the cause for the grumbling that is going on in the various parts of the connection today. We are paying $5,400 every four years to support an educational department that the wisest philosopher in the church is unable to show where one five cents benefits the connection. If all of our colleges were placed under the controls of local educational boards we would have saving every four years of the above named amount; saying nothing of the hundreds of dollars of useless expense attached to the office. Our Preacher's Aid Association ought to be made a permanent feature, and a certain amount of our dollar money ought to be set aside for our superannuated preachers and other conference beneficiaries, handled and paid out by this department. We should keep pace with the great movement of other larger bodies of Methodism, and give our laymen representation in our annual conference. If we had lay representatives in our annual conference the appointments would be made with much more satisfaction to all concerned. They would, also, be placed on the financial committee they should be. They would thus see the goings of the money, and we would be protected from the charge of corrupt dealings, and could be vindicated by the best posted laymen throughout the connection. Mark this expression: "The Leak matter is going to cut a figure in the coming general conference." About this we will say: Dr. Leak is one of the strongest characters in the church, and his friends have patiently borne the strain of his being thrust away from the department long enough. They are going to rise in their might and vindicate that grand old hero. So, about this matter I will just put a period right here. The Southern Christian Recorder fight is warming up. Dr. G. E. Tayler, having announced that he is out of the race, Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D., of Georgia; Rev. W. H. Mixon, D. D., of Alabama, are foremost in the race to succeed Dr. Taylor as editor of said paper. All three of these men are strong and able writers and representatives of the church. I am not "hoggish," but once I am advocating the election of more bishops I have not allowed my name to be associated with the position of editor of the Southern Recorder I have been urged by many to "come out" as a candidate, but Dr. Connor lives in Arkansas and is a prominent candidate for bishop, hence I will not ask for the Southern Recorder, unless the general conference decides not to elect any more bishops. In that event I will issue a circular asking the support of the general conference for the position—dark horses you see. The above are but a few thoughts that will be followed by other suggestions that we hope the church will heed. I now hand the likness of Rev. M. W. Thornton, D. D., the able and aggressive young pastor of our big church in Wilmington, Del. Dr. Thornton is a candidate for the position of secretary of the Young People's Society of Alceu's Christian Endeavor. Before giving you a sketch of Dr. Thornton's life I wish to say the church cannot urge the general conference to a greater piece of work than to insist that this department be placed on a primer basis than at present. This department, if operated aright, can bring more real good and growth to the church than any one department in the church. Just what it will take to make this department permanent and effective, I confess, I do not know, but I believe the subject of this sketch does. Rev. M. W. Thornton has been busy every since he was nothing but a boy. He was born of ex slave parents in 1870, at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. He completed the public school grades at the age of thirteen; graduated in the high school course, including short-hand and typewriting at Des Moins, Iowa in 1888, being the first Negro stenographer graduate in America. He entered Drake University, Des Moins, Iowa, and became the first Negro graduate of that institution, and was given the degree of B. D. June 15th 1892, became representative of University Freedman's Aid in Memphis, Tenn. He joined the conference under Bishop Brown at Memphis Oct. 9th 1893, served a mission at Etna Creek in the Cumberland mountains, built a church, and acted as instructor in the Dickerson-Wayman Academy. He has served as pastor at Davenport, Iowa, Iowa City, and Washington, Iowa, paying at these churches heavy debts of long standing. He has also served at Carmil, Ill., Lansing, Mich., and Logansport, Ind., making a record of deserving mention at each place. Bishop Derrick brought him to Mississippi, and had him appointed president and principle of Campbell College located at Jackson, Miss. This school had struggled for existence long and persistent. The petty loyalties and other hinderances had prevented this school from growing—In fact, it was a school "on paper." This young man took charge of affairs, and under his wise and sagacious management, a large building was erected, 150 pupils enrolled, the grade of the school raised, and a good faculty secured—so to-day Campbell College is one of the living facts of the A. M. E. church in Mississippi. By appointment of Bishop Derrick he served acceptably and with success as educational commissioner of the 8th Episcopal district, and presiding elder of the Myersville district, central Mississippi Conference. Dr. Thornton was elected delegate to the general conference of 1900, being the youngest member ever elected to that body, and was recognized as one of the ablest representatives at that setting. He was appointed as pastor, of Bryn Mawr, Pa., and afterwards P. E. of the Harrisburg district, paying a large debt at the former place, and instituting many reforms on the district as P. E., and but a few things worthy of mention in connection with the great success accompanying his efforts. As a writer he is well known. He has edited "The Campbell College Journal" and "The District Sentinel," and has written several books—viz: "The White Negro," "The Christ of Caste," "Inter-marriage of Races" and a number of pamphlets. Rev. Dr. Thornton is one of the race's most sought for contributors to magazines and papers. He is one of the most fearless spokesman of the race on questions pertaining to our rights. His name became a by-word throughout the country shortly after the lynching of the Negro White at Wilmington, Del., because of his manly utterances, and the burning sermon he preached the following Sunday. Dr. Thornton has been honored with the degree of "D. D." from Campbell College, in Mississippi, and Paul Quinn College in Texas. He is now delegate memorial of the lamented President McKinley, and delegate to the coming general conference, being elected from the mother conference of the connection—of which conference he is one of the recognized leaders. He is a lie trustee of Wilberforce University, and at present pastor of the large A. M. E. church at Wilmington, Del., one of the largest and most cultured churches in the first Episcopal district. The church is now undergoing a $3,000 repair. He is a candidate for the secretaryship of the young peoples society of Christian En- hand D., our own more-ren's on a say infer, so in a apart-more than Just deaver—and if elected will bring success to the department. His candidacy has assumed such proportions until he is spoken of more than all of his opponents put together. The Bishop question is also being discussed at great length. We need more Bishops, and I believe we are going to elect more. It is a senseless comparison to hold up the M. E. church to show that we don't need any more Bishops. The M. E. church, has culture and refinement to deal with in its largest fields—The North and East—The A. M. E. church—its largest work is in the South—so it is needless to say more. secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Bastist Foreign Mission Board. Sunday was "church edifice" day among the colored prophets of Kentucky. A hand some collection was raised by the Louisville people. Mrs. Ruthen Collett delivered several lectures here in the interest of the A. M. E. Publication department. The cause in which she is laboring so earnestly is a most worthy one, and deserves far more substantial help than she is receiving. A big publishing house is of great advantage to the race in diffusing knowledge by affording an out-let for our literary and musical talent as If we had a force of Bishops that would travel and work like Bishop Grant and Tyree, our work would soon double itself in our Southern field. The older Bishops can't do it—So we need some more young blood on the bench. Arkansas presents the name of Dr. J. M. Connor, one of the ablest men of the church and race for Episcopal honors—He is a living monument of success. His name is being discussed in connection with [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. REV. M. W. THORNTON, D. D. Pastor St. Paul A. M. E. Church, Wilmington, Del. the Bishopric in every quarter of the church. Dr. H. T. Johnson's friends are making a strong and vigorous canvass to land him on the bench. Rev. Dr. Ransom, of Chicago is my choice for editor of the Christian Recorder. J. G. ROBINSON, young people. The con Walnut is easy of access every section of the c Nicholson, of Indianapark days here. He visited ness the military displ Louisville Laconics. Louisville, Ky., Special.—At the last meeting of the school board the following appointments were confirmed: Miss Martha Walton, as teacher at Maden Lane school and Miss Frances L. Wallace as teacher at the Western school. Steps are being taken to have all children attend the school in their respective districts, and do away with transfers except for very convincing reasons. This is right, and should have been done long ago. The registration of voters stirred this city from Fountain Ferry to Cave Hill last week. Charges and counter charges of repeating, importation of voters, fraudulent registration, intimidation and all forms of political corruption were freely made by the Republicans and Democrats. The books show about 40,000 electors, of whom 7,000 are colored. Many Negroes failed to register, as fully 10,000 are estimated to be qualified to vote in the county. The tests are quite encouraging to the republicans and thousands of regular democrats are promising to cast their ballots for Col. Belt.nap as a rebuke to the alleged revolutionary methods of Gov. Beckham and his allies. A curious manipulation of human nature is exhibited in the case of Mamie Britt, who was a few days ago, convicted of the murder of her lover and sentenced to be hanged. She has asked her lawyers to desist from their efforts to secure a new trial, fearing that the verdict might be a life sentence or a commutation. She prefers death to imprisonment to the end of her days means working but work and long.drawn out misery. She has religion and will be happy in Heaven. Mamies philosophy is unusual in this generation, but who knows, but she is not, like the Sainted Mary, choosing "the better part." Miss Nomnie Burroughs is beginning her fall term with her hand, hand and type-writing class. Miss Burroughs is an expert stenographer and finds ample exercise for her powers in her work as corresponding Hamburg, Ark. secretary of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Babbist Foreign Mission Board. Sunday was "church edifice" day among the colored prophets of Kentucky. A hand some collection was raised by the Louisville people. Mrs. Ruthen Collett delivered several lectures here in the interest of the A. M. E. Publication department. The cause in which she is laboring so earnestly is a most worthy one, and deserves far moresubstantial help than she is receiving. A big publishing house is of great advantage to the race in diffusing knowledge by affording an out let for our literary and musical talent as well as developing our industrial skill. Secretary T. F. Blues preached a sermon Sunday afternoon at Zion Baptist church, under the auspices of the colored Y. M. C. A., entitled "The Measures of the Man." The Sunday afternoon meetings at Asbury Chapel, for the discussion of current questions possesses a positive educational value, and they should be liberally supported, especially by the teachers, ministers and young people. The corner of Ninth and Walnut is easy of access to the residents of every section of the city. Mr. James S. Nicholson, of Indianapolis, spent several days here. He visited West Point to witness the military display, and was much pleased with the fine field work of the Hoosiers. The Freeman would like to secure a good, live agent at this point. Is there not some bright young fellow in the public schools desirous of earning his support by taking hold of the work? Apply at once. Mr. and Mrs. Bowman Adams, of 923 W.

Believing that the situation brought about by the race problem in the United States can be relieved only by the best efforts of the people of both races, North and South, and feeling assured that there is sufficient wisdom, patriotism and love of fair play among the American people to enable them to cope with any situation, however grave, it has been decided by the National Sociological Society—an organization for the study of the condition of the colored people of the United States, and to suggest plans for the improvement of that condition—to call a conference to be held at Washington, D. C., November 9-11, 1903—at the time for the assembling of Congress in extraordinary session—to deliberate on the most serious phases of the race question, and to formulate plans for the relief of a strained situation. It is hoped that the discussions will be directed to definite propositions, and will lead to the formulation of remedial measures. The assembly shall be known and designated as the Washington Conference, and shall be free to elect its own officers, and to make rules for its guidance. As the membership of the conference will be confined to the most thoughtful and conservative persons of both races, it will necessarily be limited, and it is urged that the persons invited will accept the invitation and notify the corresponding secretary to that effect at once. The conference will be held at Lincoln Temple Congregational church. corner Eleventh and R streets, Northwest, Rev. Sterling N. Brown, D. D., pastor, and the first session will open at 2 p. m.

The Civic Savings Association has a considerable following among our wage earners. Mrs. Lizzle Webb and Mrs. M. E. Washington are doing active and beneficial work in connection with the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. The tide of emigration for the past five years has been strong in the direction of Indianapolis and Chicago, but its force is now being broken by the gradual return of prosperous conditions. Work for colored people is growing more and more plentiful, and many are finding it advantageous to make their homes here while following their employment in Louisville. As a city of homes New Albany ranks with the best communities in the State. N. B. Shacklett is doing well as a painter and paper hanger, serving some of the wealthiest families. Floyd county has a Negro population of 2,500, and the average of intelligence is high owing to the excellent public school system and the industry of the masses in grasping their opportunities. Rev. I. C. Manuel, who has returned from the National Baptist Convention at Philadelphia, says it was the finest gathering of colored people that he has ever seen. The ovation to Dr. Booker T. Washington was the most pictureque episode of the meeting, and Dr. Manuel thinks that President Roosevelt could not have received a heartier welcome than did the "Wizard of Tuskegee."

BUSINESS MEDIUM **MRS. MARTH**, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test **MEDIUM** reveals everything. No imposition. Can be a business person, a marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangement. Can help her in her startling revelation of the past present and future event in one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; yet she can help you to be a nice nonsense. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends etc., with description of future companion. She can be consulted on all affairs of friends, enemies etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits contested business, divorce and speculation is valuable good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE, as the teacher she tells your mothers full mature before marriage, the name of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your future husband, the name of your young you are to have one, the name of your old you are to have one, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage—how many children you have or will have—whether you are married or single or in love with your sweetheart you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. ALL YOUR FUTURE and in a dead trance. Mother's should know the success of their husbands and children, young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or intended husbands. Do not keep company, marry or go into business with them. Religious scruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, on whatever the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting the Medici, it is only from the lack of interest in the medium. It is only from the lack of interest in the medium that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or her as self a Medium that can stand a test of what is true. It is not everyone who acquires 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 their thoughts on more than acquiring art, or on the psychology and kindred mind that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. It is admirable fact that persons who want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to know so well that they can hear if it 's ill be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used to confront a Medium to try to take the kind of the hand and gain control of the matter there, is a matter of impossibility to most of them And yet this can be done, and by consulting MRS MARTH this seeming mystery. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are infringements on our "only tongues," our wisdom not have been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an academic and uniting effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable mysteries have been discovered. By letter advice $1.00.

THE WAITER To the Honorable Publishers of The Freeman, the most popular Afro-American Weekly and the Hotel Fraternity generally: No doubt it may prove somewhat of a surprise to you to read an editorial from a waiter in Texas. As a young man in DesMoines, Iowa, last winter, asked me were there any hotels in Texas, and when I told him there was one in Dallas as large as the Savoy, he seemed as if to doubt the veracity of my statement, but I wanted to ask a few questions, make some inquiries on certain things that I don't understand, having read after several veteran head and sidewaiters, but this tipping system, dining room generalship does not seem quite clear to me, showing favors t, certain waiters, others abuse, it is a foregone conclusion that undue favors to men are at the sacrifice of other men. Recently I went to work for a head-water, and after two weeks a tramp waiter came along, engaged a room with the headwaiter, and as I was the only new man, hence the can. I left the city the following day. The tramp waiter staid about three meals. This headwaiter sent for me, but I had gone. If a headwaiter seats a guest at his table, who rewards his waiter with a fee, in case the waiter gives the head-water cause to become sore at him, off your station the guest goes. Such is not the proper way to reprimand a waiter. I believe you all will agree with me when I say that an efficient officer's ideas are too broad to allow him to be spiteful. Another incident: If a guest is of the kind to fee only the man in the door, should he secure said guest on a certain waiter's station and cause the waiter to lay off, which almost any waiter will invariably do, or how? The most important of my lengthy query is: Should a waiter expect a tip? If so, under what conditions? I was employed at a restaurant in Kansas City a short while ago. An inscription posted read: "A waiter who works for tips will not be tolerated." But they were paying $10 per week instead of $20 per month. As a great number of American plan houses are readers, please inform me on these little things, and let us hope in the future our fraternity will be void of such corrupt ARTHUR GREENE, Oriental Hotel, Dallas, Tex.

Editor Freeman—I have seen a piece in your paper for the last month written by Mr. Frank Long of the Windermere of Chicago. Ill, asking where all the good colored waiters are. One colored headwaiter of Chicago is sending south and getting foreign hands and lodging them in all the best hotels in Chicago. Other headwaiters desire good waiters, but do not care to send south and get play boys and try to make waiters out of them. If they desire to know where all the good waiters are I can tell them. They are in the stock yards and boot-black stands. My hotel opened Sunday the first of May, and I work thirty-five waiters, and I find plenty good waiters every year and do not have to work play boys. J. W. REDMOND, Headwaiter Grand Villa Hotel. Unfortown, Col. THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS. Opportunities Wait Upyn the Ener- getic and Thrify Worker. Despite the attacks made upon him by a discontented class of Negroes, Booker Washington continues to hold the first place among those to whom the more thrifty and wiser Negroes turn for advice and counsel. At the recent convention of "The National Negro Business Men's League" at Nashville, he was the principal speaker and was received with an earnestness which must have more than compensated him for the harsh treatment he received from some of his race on his recent visit to Boston. It is worth nothing as an evidence of the better sentiment with respect to the Negro which prevails in the South that the convention was held at the State Capitol upon an invitation given by the Legislature. As the Legislature is composed almost wholly of whites the giving of the, invitation is a proof that the rabid hostility expressed by Senator Tillman and a few other politicians does not truly represent Southern sentiment, at least so far as the Negro worker and business men are concerned. Washington, of course, repeated his well known counsel of work and patience as the only means of solving the problem of the Negro in the United States. In the course of his address he said, "We shall succeed in winning our way into the confidence and esteem of the American people just in proportion as we show ourselves valuable to the community in which we live, in all the common industries, in commerce, in the welfare of the State and in the manifestation of the highest character. The community does not fear as a rule the vote of the man no matter what his color who is a large taxpayer. It is not the Negro who owns a successful business or works at a trade who is charged with crime. While we are in many cases surrounded with disadvantages, when we compare our condition and opportunities with those of the Jews in many parts of Europe it is easy to see that almost every opportunity denied the Jews is open to us. The greater the difficulties to be overcome, the more strength we shall gain by succeeding. Every house owned every farm well cultivated, and bank account every store, every tax receipt we possess is one influence which will operate tremendously in our favor." The statement that the Negro in the South, despite all the disadvantages under which he labors, is better off then the peasants and Jews in many countries of Europe is fully justified by the facts. There are no limitations put upon the Negro in the South as a worker and as a property owner, and as land is cheap and opportunities for work abundant, even though wages are small, more thrifty among the Negroes are prospering. Starting without an acre of land, without a dollar, without experience in the responsibilities of freedom, the race as a whole has made a notable advance in the accumulation of property and some of the abler men have become wealthy. Along these lines, then, the Negro can hope to advance to a position of power in the community that will enable him to command a respect for his rights of all kinds.—San Francisco Call. News in Brief. Dallas, Texas, Special.—There are many strangers within our gates. Property owners are refusing to rent property on Wall street to colored people, and that street is being broken up.

Ogden's novel on steamboat life on the Mississippi, entitled "Tennessee Tod," said to be the best thing of the kind since Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn." This company will soon issue Mr. Michael Davitt's "Within the Pale," a book dealing with the dominant racial and religious issues in Russia. Mr. E. L. Shuman's Practical Journalism" brought out by Messrs. D. Appleton & Company, of New York, is a book of 265 pages and sells at $1.25 net. It is without question the most authoritative work on the conducting of a news paper ever issued. The reader of this admirable book is made to feel the pulse of a great and wonderful factor in our more wonderful civilization and learns in a very pleasant way of the inner workings of a metropolitan daily newspaper. The wholesome advice and valuable suggestion, both implicit and explicit, is notably sane, and has the spontaneity of expression that comes from matured thought sincerely urged. Mr. Shuman treats his subjects from the assured standpoint of one long trained in matters connected with the issuing of a great newspaper. His advice, therefore, to those undertaking such a career is full of real value, while the lucidity of the style and the many topics of interest toned upon make the book equally attractive to the general reader. New Harlem, Past and Present. The story of an Amazine Civic Wrong Now at Last to be Righted. By Carl Horton Pierce. With a review of the principles of Law Involved in the Recovery of the Harlem Lands. By William Pennington Toler and Harmon De Pan Nutting. Profusely Illustrated. New Harlem Publishing Company, 26 East 23rd street, New York city, New York. 340 pages. $2.00. This is a remarkable book. It presents historical facts that are at least startling if not sensational. It attempts to exploit the truth and to right a wrong of long standing. It begins with the proposition: "The Town of New Harlem is to come into its own. It was never legally merged into the City of New York. Its boundaries are fixed by irrefutable patents; its rights entrenched in the constitutional inviolability of a Trust." The book points out facts that are valuable to students of history and genealogy, and deals with a problem that is of tremendous Civic importance. As a purely historical narrative, it is fascinating and informing, relating the wonderfully story of early pioneer settlers with a faithfulness that is convincing. We are delighted with the book and sincerely hope that it will have the wide reading it justly deserves. Algonquin Indian Tales. Collected by Egerton R. Young. Eaton & Main, 150 Fifth avenue, New York. 258 pages, $1 25. Last winter we read Mr. Young's "My Dogs in the Northland" and we were delighted. But we are more favorably impressed with these Indian tales, breathing as they do the very life and history of primitave racehood. The manner in which the stories are written indicates that the author is intimately acquainted with the history and traditions of the Algonquin people, and that he has discovered in them some charming traits of character. Most of the stories are of absorbing interest and are not without a wholesome moral. The Best American Orations of To-Day Compiled by Harriet Blackstone. Hinds & Noble, Publishers, 31 West 15th street, New York city, New York 291 pages, $1 25. This collection will prove of special value to high school and college students. It contains examples of the very best orations delivered by Americans. We are proud of the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington is quoted as one of the "Best American Orators." The compilation, beside giving examples of orations delivered by Senators and lawyers includes also some pnipit, and university oratory that is most helpful.

There are so few books of late dealing with pure literature that we hall with delight a work of this kind. Mr. Sedgwick's volume is one of vital literary importance. It deals with the work of Scott, D'Anunzio, Montaligne, Macauley, English and French Literature, Don Quixote, and Thackeray. The author is one of the most entertaining as well as informing writes we have ever followed. He shows plainly that he is especially interested in Thackeray and he takes the pains to give an analysis of his style, etc, that is worthy of the esteem and admiration that author holds in all polite literary circles. —Wilberforce, Ohio.

HOLTZMAN MAYOR. The municipal campaign ending last Tuesday at the polls was without doubt the fiercest ever waged in the city of Indianapolis. Ex-Mayor Bookwalter was the "point" of attack from start to finish; he was the storm center around whom the political fury raged at all times. That he ran, as well as he did under the circumstances is remarkable and very much to his credit. At this writing Mr. Bookwalter stands beaten by his Democratic opponent, Mr. Holtzman, by about 1,000 votes. Many things conspired to defeat Mr. Bookwalter, most of which he could have avoided; he had great faith in machine politics, a lesson learned from his very successful predecessor, Thomas A. Taggart. But Taggart was an adept at hiding the operations of the machinery, while Bookwalter or his unfortunate crew took great pleasure in showing its beautiful movements. The parts were too much in evidence; they were too conscious and too acknowledging that they were parts. Mr. Bookwalter looked after the very faithful who had rights also, but it simply emphasized the machine idea to which so many stand opposed. The ex-mayor was liberal in his views, but probably not nearly so liberal as he was characterized. He was unfortunate in becoming entangled with the Indianapolis News, an old paper of reputation and great circulation, resulting in a fight to the death. It conducted a campaign by cartoon and spoke every day to the 200,000 citizens of the community. Mr. Bookwalter and the saloon people made a pill that was none too easy to swallow, but it is easy enough to see that he was driven to the position by the serious defection in his own ranks that menaced him from the very beginning. It is not too much to say that the city was tending toward the open, the sign that threw 5,000 votes to Hitz, the Prohibition-Independent candidate. Mr. Bookwalter, the practical politician that he is, was simply trying to make good; there had been elimination—there had to be substitution. The tendency to favor and screen his new found friends was perhaps the greatest evidence that they were his friends. But, in spite of the serious slump in his own party which in the main cast the 5,000 votes for Hitz, he made what politicians must concede, an excellent showing; it also shows what, under normal conditions the vote may have been. Hon. Judson W. Lyons has the assurance from his State, according to the Atlanta Age, of being re-elected National Committeeman and head of delegation. Well, Lyons is a great big man, who takes to politics like a duck to water. He is decidedly easy of approach, but his bearing permits no presumption. He is engaging in his personality, having the faculty of making you feel that you count for something also. You go away feeling that you have met a warm blooded animal; not a fish. Rev. E. W. Lambert, D. D., financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, was among the recent visitors of The Freeman office. He has just prepared an interesting little pamphlet of the collections and disbursements of funds for his department during the fiscal year, which includes $50 money sent from the West African Conference, the first dollar money sent from the continent of Africa. The pamphlet is interesting in that it sets out at length the financial status of the church, which is in a flourishing condition, each district showing a decided increase in collections over the preceding year. Mr. Charles F. Sneed, formerly a teacher in the Indianapolis schools, has gone to Cane Spring, Ky., to take charge of Eckstein Norton University. Mr. Sneed has taught in that institution before The Southern News, a publication of the institution, has this to say of him: Colored people should practice politeness. It is indicative of good breeding.—The Richmond Planet. It is indicative of good sense. Mr. Bookwalter was as game as old Napoleon. Every man meets his Waterloo at the last day if not sooner. Some of the colored Independents wilted in the booth, but they cast a large percent of their vote. The colored votes were divided between the Republican and the Democratic parties and Mr. Hitz. at Tuskegee Institute in the carpenter department, and his work proves that he is one of the leading workmen here. The Camilla Baptist Association began at Bethel Baptist on the 18th. Mrs. Georgia Henderson of Brunswick, Ga., is visiting relatives here. The B. Y. P. U. is all the go now, being set up at all the churches. The Freeman correspondent wishes every reading man to read this paper. See Mrs. Carrie Burns. So now paper clothes are to come in, and a good suit will be sold for $2.50. It will be incumbent upon the wearer, however, to know enough to come in when it rains. A Tuskegee students rejoices in the historic name of Henry Ward Beecher. Eckstein Norgron University opened Monday, October 5th, with an increased number of students. The outlook is quite bright for a most successful year. Prof. C F. Sneed, A B. A M, is the new principal. He is well known in the State and much beloved by all. He ranks high as an educator of experience. It is now M. Lebaudy, a French millionaire, who would carve out an empire out of the heart of Africa as a home for the United States Negroes. He would set up a Negro kingdom. He seems to have the money; we have the people, so on with the job. We do not desire to damn the scheme with faint praise, but we fear Monsieur will have an elephant on his hands. He is after Bishop Turner's heart; they ought to strike up a coalition. A kingdom means a king, who will head the dynasty—the Romulus of the seven hills to be? The door of the Colored Knights of Pythias Castle has been valued by an art connoisseur and antique dealer at the sum of five hundred dollars. Perhaps the Joint Stock Association builted better than I knew.—Weekly Guide, Baltimore, Md. If the door is worth $500, what is the whole structure worth? Of course we are supposing the building is the result of the same creative genius as the door. Why not sell it and have another made just like it? The "Snap Convention" is an incident that will be very much harped on in these anti-Bookwalter days. It appears that Mr. Bookwalter should have halted the convention in order to give other candidates a chance to shy their castors in the ring for the mayoralty candidacy. But presumably he felt that everything was fair in love and war and that he did not intend to give the enemy a club to break his own head; he had the club. Some colored men voted for Hitz and less for Holtzman; it was their high privilege if they saw it that way. Mr. Holtzman is now mayor; he is a Democrat, but he is mayor of the city and has sworn to do his duty. The campaign talk of what the colored folks may expect of him is the merest nonsense. He expects the same of us as any mayor, and we expect the same of him. And then there's the primary election for candidates on the county ticket; the worse piece of business the city has seen by the way of politics and where chances for a misdeal was so evident that all the defeated ones felt to have had it; it happened in the days of Bookwalter, and he suffers some on that score. The primary election law was the creation of Mr. Frederick Joss "What the Twentieth Century Demands of the Negro" is a pamphlet by Rev. R. A. Adams, B. D., of Natchez, Miss, who is well known as a versatile writer. He seeks to make the sailing of the race plainer by pointing out the dangerous places. The advice given is sound as might be expected of one who has given the subject so much attention. One of the serious things about the result of the recent election: there will be less colored people around the court house; but that's a mere bagatelle a great victory has been won; that is by some one. The Republicans of course defeated Mr. Bookwalter; they felt that he was a master mechanic at the machine and whose continuation in office simply intrenched his position. The annual statement of Manager John H. Collett of the A. M. E. Book Concern of Philadelphia, Pa., has appeared in pamphlet form, in which the details of the institution are set forth. The recent campaign was a trifle breezy for the colored boy; it was a case of diamond out diamond or Greeks meeting Greeks; the class was swift. Colored people should practice politeness. It is indicative of good breeding.—The Richmond Planet. It is indicative of good sense. Mr. Bookwalter was as game as old Napoleon. Every man meets his Waterloo at the last day if not sooner. Some of the colored Independents wilted in the booth, but they cast a large percent. of their vote. The colored votes were divided between the Republican and the Democratic parties and Mr. Hitz. Rev. Herod and the push didn't get what they went for, but they got the next thing to it. Let Hitz colored men remember that Hitz was their candidate; not Holtz- man. Mr. Keach says he only opposed the bad among the colored folks. Indiana avenue-u-u-u. He will Keach you-o-o-o. EXCHANGES. The Seventh Day Adventists are stirring up Salisbury, N. C., not so much because of their peculiar tenets as of their ideas of Christian brotherhood. The other Sunday they baptized three whites and five colored candidates and the "Star of Zlon" says, "white women of the sect wiped the faces of the white converts with the same towel that had wiped the faces of the black converts." Social equality like this will never do.—The Record, Washington, D. C. Dr. Edward Davis of St. Louis, Mo, resident physician of Provident hospital has been appointed physician to an Indian school at Zuni, New Mexico. It is a federal appointment and pays a salary of $1,000 per annum. Dr. Davis is in every way competent to fill the position that he merits.—The Kentucky Reporter. Dr D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, the leading church west of the Mississippi, has made the grandest success of any pastor since the organization of this church. His integrity and christian bearing have taught the people of St. Louis to love and respect him regardless of denomination—St. Louis Palladium. The Negroes of this country need some money. This is the only way by which they can be respected in a certain sense. They are doing very well on the educational matter, but I don't mean that he is doing as much as he should, but I mean that he is doing better along this line than he is along the line of accumulating money. The way to accomplish this is to be economical and don't spend more money a day then he earns.—The Piedmont Indicator. Camilla, Ga., Special.—Mr. R. C. Birt and Bros. have opened up a grocery store on Scott street. Prof. James J. Williams, R C. Lamar and R. B.

Lillian Russell, now appearing in "Whoop Dee-Doo" at Weber & Fields' Theatre in New York, is making her biggest hit in two of Cole and Johnson's melodies "The Maid of Timbuoto" and "The Flowers of Dixie Land." --- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Tom McIntosh is making the hit of his life playing the part played by Ernest Hogan last season in the "Smart Set" company. While playing in Washington, D.C, he was made an honorary member of the National Colored Personal Liberty League. George L. Moxley, the veteran minstrel middleman, stage manager and tenor ballad singer, is still barbering in Martinsburg, W. Va. He is tenor solo singer for the First Methodist church and his wife is organist. George L. wishes to be remembered to Billy Kersands, Ernest Hogan, J. Ed Green and his baby boy. Notes from Smith and Jones of McKissick and Jones.—We are in our eighteenth week. We have finished the Novelty circuit and have opened up on the Goldsmith circuit for six weeks, then who are coming home. Mr. Smith gives Daddy Love great credit for placing him with the Jones'. Messrs. Jones and Smith send regards to him and Mr. and Mrs. Kersands, Cook & Jones, Charles Alexander and J. W. Simmons. The "Wang Doodle" four, Julius Glenn, Erb Robinson, Harvey Goodall and James White, touring with Bob Manchester's "Cracker Jack" burlesque company, appeared in Hartford Conn., last week. Sylvester Russell attended the matinee and enjoyed the singing and dancing of the quartette, which shared honors with the white stars, Ed Howard and Frank North. Mr. Russell also met two old friends, Jube Johnson and Leon Williamson of Tom Brown's troubadours, in Hartford. Notes from the Midway Vaudeville and Plantation Show.—The show is meeting with great success. Our manager is sparing no time in preparing for a winter's engagement "A New Top" this year. We showed in Athens last week and in Atlanta week of the 7th for seventeen days. Perry Bradford, of the New Orleans show, is with us. Bradford and Sims have joined hands once more. Wm. Walls is running them crazy singing "Show the White of Your Eyes." Notes from Culligan's Alabama Minstrels.—We are now in our tenth week, and the company is enjoying the best of health. Mr. and Mrs George are well pleased with us all. On Sunday, October 4th, the company was royally entertained at the beautiful home of Harvey Mitchell and E Epps, of Cresco, Iowa. Messrs. Mitchell and Epps are both excellent young men. They are the owners of a first-class barbershop The courtesies shown were all that could be wished. The Clarks are the "hit" of the program singing "What the band." Simon Bonomore, the Arabin acrobat, is a wonder. Wm. H. Johnson send regards to Al and Mamie Holman, Ted Frank, Harry Morton, Pop Adams, Grace Hoyt, Ambros Davis, A. D. Sawyer, W B West, Mr. and Mrs. Morton send regards to Daddy Love. Mary Shaw's Versatility. The character of Mrs. Alving in Ibsen's "Ghosts" affords Mary Shaw an excellent opportunity for the display of her versatility. Mrs. Alving is the central figure in the domestic tragedy. The display of emotion she is called upon to exhibit increases in intensity until the tremendous climax of the last act, when Mrs. Alving's only son, Oswald, who is toottering on the verge of insanity, urges her to give him poison with which to end his unfortunate life. In this trying scene Miss Shaw works so effectively that it is an invariable custom for spectators to remain in their seats after the final fall of the curtain and call the actress to the footlights again and again. Local theatre goers have desired to see "Ghosts" on account of the sensation the play caused in New York City and Chicago. They will have an opportunity of witnessing it when it is presented here at English's on Saturday, October 17th, matinee and night by Mary Shaw and a competent supporting company. Notes from the Exchange Garden theatre, Jacksonville, Fla.—The week beginning Monday October 5th was a banner one. Our show opening with the laughable act "Oriben" and each performer got their full share of applause. The oloi was opened by Miss Annie Jones, singing "Stand up and let the Lady Sit down." "Pretty Little Dinah Jones," sung by Pearl Woods had to be sung over again. Buddle Glenn, that funny comedian, singing "Hard Luck," he makes everybody laugh with his funny sayings. Miss Virdee Glore, "Ring Down the Curtain" was good. Dennis Mitchell, with his talking and singing turn, stands at the head in his line of business. Miss Sarah Price is everybody's favorite, but we regret to say Miss Price has been on the sick list for several days. Dau Robinson, in his Irish character, is O. K. The performance concludes with Mr. Buddle Glenn's laughable act "Senator Mill Sap, from Five Oak, Fla." "Black Snake" sells The Freeman. Notes from the Hercules of Minstreldom, Billy Kersand's Own Big Co — The past week has been a "corker," the S. R. O., sign being in evidence at every performance, and in a number of places crowds were turned away with the sad news that the capacity of the house had already been overtaxed. Well, we showed in Memphis two nights and a matinee, and to say that we "raised the roof" would be putting it mildly. The business was so tremendous until we have been requested to play a return date, which we will do latter in the season. Each and every act on the program, from the opening chorus to the after-piece, was received with voiciferous applause. Mr. Kersands was presented with a magnificent bouquet of Marshenille roses, and the Memphis News, in commenting on the "Grand Old Man" says: "He is certainly the peer of any and all Negro comedians in the world." Special mention was also made of the costumes and work of Kid Langford and Benny Jones. The band and orchestra, under the efficient leadership of James S. Lacy, and the entire show was pronounced the best of any Negro show now extant. Leaving Memphis we returned to Arkansas, showing in Pine Bluff, where hundreds were turned away.—Mr. and Mrs. Kersands send regards to Daddy Love and wife.—E. J. Burton desires all friends to know that the reported trouble at Memphis was all a mistake. He is still in the big show.—Charles Butler send regards to Daddy Love and all friends. —Bill Taylor and Bill Thomas knocked 'em cold in Memphis. Regards to local 208 A. F. of M.—The elaborate musical act of the Housely Brothers was big hit at Memphis—The entire Kersands party send regards to J. A. Watts, and wish him a speedy recovery. P. B. R. Hendrix's Chicago Items.—Slayton's Jubilee Concert Company, after a successful summer season, opened their regular season at the Central Y. M. C. A. of Illinois, Chicago, Thursday, Oct. 8th, to a large audience. Seats had to be provided upon the stage, and standing room was at a premium, several hundred being turned away. From the general comment, they are above the general run of concert companies. Their roster for the season of 1903-4 include the best talent pertainable. They are Mrs. Lester Helms and Miss Pearl Pitts, sopranos; Miss Belle Hooker and Mrs. Cecil Wilson, altos; Lester Helms and N. I. Washington, tenors; A. L. Tutt, baritone; J. A. Hagerman, basso. This company will tour from coast to coast as they are booked solid through for the season 1903-4. Address all mall for them to Slayton Lyceum Bureau, Steinway Hall, Chicago, Ill. They send regards to their many friends. John Rucker, known as the Alabama Blossom, formerly with the Black Patti Co., is here this week with the Stain of Guilt company, and is one of the leading attractions of the whole company. He receives encore after encore, convincing his manager that he is earning his salary and perhaps worth more He sends kind regards to all. Will Dixon, formerly of the Blackstone quartette, late of the Aelioeans, also one of our leading young business men, has been upon the sick list, but is improving. Kind regards to all. W. D. Buckner of the Dixie Concert company assisted the Quinn chapel choir last Sunday and is always a welcome visitor to said church. Don't lose sight of the Great Eastern colored minstrel for they are making grand preparations for their opening in April or May. The names of the proprietors, Bailey and Smith, is sufficient to guarantee success. They are not making any noise, but are securing the best talent that the colored profession can produce. Prof. N. Clark Smith is organizing his several companies together for the winter season. Al. W. Martin's Uncle Tom's Cabin will show here at the Academy the week of the 18th. The Freeman representative sends regards to Al. Holman and wife, Ernest Hogan, Billy McClain, Jones and Smith, Sol Tibbs, Little Brownie, the Vaughners, Goggin and Davis and Williams and Walker. Joe Callin of Daddy Love's headquarters sends his regards to his many theatrical friends. We are glad to note the grand success the Hottest Coon in Dixie company are meeting with under the careful stage management of Al. Holman.

Blochard E Hayes, the Tantalizing Brown Under the Dove, the world's greatest colored song book spleeter, this season has a new and novel way in introducing his wares, hence he catches the gallery as well as lower floors from start, therefore you cannot hear a murmur during his whole speech. Any one asking is he successful Hayes says "watch me when I come out of office Sundays after settling week's receipts." Chas. F. Scott sends regards to Bert Deleo, Lewis Williams, Cohen, the Wilsons, Wm. Jones and Harry Royston. F. L. Denton and Ed Strongher says hello to members of the Kereands company. Miss Nettle Goff, the world's greatest lady trombone solist, of the Black Patti Tondbounads met us in Durham, N. C., and spent Sunday with her former partner, Wm. Garland, and was shaking hands with friends with the company. She left Monday morning to join her company, each wishing to the other company a very successful season. George Bagnet, Eb clarionetist, sends regards to R. C. Chrismon. Of late, in some of the towns, especially in Durham, it was difficult to buy a lunch after the show. Miss Ormes has kindly agreed to take charge of cafe De Ormuzme, where the best of estables can be found. Miss Ormes would like to hear from Marion Henry and Blanch Bradley. Write as per route in Freeman. Mr. Dudley's voice is somewhat improved and he is singing again in their act, "Satisfaction Babe," and, as before, he is forced to take two or three encores. Mr. Dudley would like to hear from Harry Jackson and Tom Brown. In Durham, N. C., Mr. C. H. Hines, one of the leading business men of the city, had a few of us out to his house Sunday night, where a most enjoyable evening was spent. Those present during the evening were John Pittman, Dude Kelley, John W. Cooper, Clarence Powell, Tommy Lewis and myself. After the show Monday night he had a few up to his shop, where another good time was had with Clarence Powell as master of ceremonies. You know the rest. Arthur Moss, tenor solist. is still a valuable member of the company and wishes to be remembered by all friends. The band under Frank Clermont is still cleaning up, and we are forced to play Hiawatha in our daily band concerts, and so well is it rendered that we are requested to play it again at night. Manzie Campbell still has the crowd around him, and it is very comical to hear some of the remarks said in his praise of his snare drum beating. The orchestra under Ralph Nicolas is keeping pace with the other departments of the company, showing that all are working in unison. Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Henderson, Smith, Daddy Love and Chicago friends, Mr. and Mrs. Kersands and company, Al. Holman and friends with Hottest Coon in Dixie company. Say, Claybrook and Stevens, I wonder how long it will take a person to walk from Henderson Smith's to Chicago opera house? Ha! ha! Moonlight Maids. A strong bid for the patronage of those interested in burlesque will be made by the "Moonlight Maids" company, a clever aggregation of pretty women and comic men, who are underlined to appear at the Empire theatre for one week commencing with the regular matinee on Monday, Oct 19. The style of entertainment is musical, vaudeville and comedy, interspersed with "bits" of real burlesque and interpolated with ensembles by as handsome a chorus as ever graced the boards of a local playhouse. The name of the vehicle that carries the company through two hours and a half of rolllicking fun and jolity is "A Rial to Rounder." It deals with the vagaries of a Cuban adventures and an "Innocent Married Man." Sandwiched between the two acts are half a dozen fine specialities by M'ille Dome, hoop roller, Frederick Brothers and Burns, musical artists; Miss Toma Hanlon and Mr. M. E Hanley, travesty sketch team; Fields and Wooley, German comedians; Miss Marie Rogers, coon shouter and Rice and Prevost, a pair of wonderful comedy acrobats. Thaddeus M. Paige, trombonist, with W. L. Main's circus, is meeting with great success. Copies of The freeman can besecured from H. B. Brooks 1025 John street Cincinnati, O.

When John Philip Sousa plays a selection not his own there are two things of which we feel assured, the composition must have unusual merit and will assured become popular. Sousa has a magnetism which renders his leading almost hypnotic. He trances his musicians into doing their very best work, and he entrances the audience by the magnificent results attained, consequently Howard Whitney, whose novel "A Lucky Duck," Sousa has promised to play, and Richard Carle, whose "Tenderfoot Selections" will be programed at the Sousa concerts, are both to be congratulated upon the master leader's choice of their work.

It fits her gentle, pathetic personality perfectly. Miss Talliaferro has a sweet singing voice, not of much power, but heart reaching in its charm and clearness. She is to sing a couple of songs in "Mrs. Wiggs, of the Cabbage Patch," which are calculated to touch the emotions of the most callous. One of these songs is a dainty little lullaby called "Cuddle Down Town," by Kerr & O'Neill, the other a pathetic bit of melody, entitled: "In a Garden of Faded Flowers," by Lamb & Bratton. Miss Talliaferro has a great future before her, but it is doubtful if she will have a better opportunity for success than in "Lovey Mary." Four years ago Fay & Oliver, the well known song writing team, wrote a charming sernade, called "Good Night Beloved, Good Night." As soon as their publishers, N. Whitmark & Son, heard the song they knew it was of the kind which would, if properly handled become a standard composition, so they resolutely set to work, and in newspaper parlance "plugged it" for all it was worth. The strange part of the thing is that, although the song is full of melody and beautiful sentiment, through a strange combination of circumstances. it took just four years of hard striving on the part of the publishers to place it where it is now—on the very top notch of popular songs. Some songs act that way. Alfred G. Robyn, who was one of the first of modern composers to write one of those characteristic and colorful intermezzi, which have since become so popular has followed up "Mansaniello" his first great success in that line by a similar composition, though in another vein. This is entitled "San Domingo," and was written as a dance and number in the "Yankee Consul," the new comic opera which he has written in conjunction with Henry H. Blossom, Jr. This intermezzo will, doubtless, become a favorite with orchestras all over the country, especially in restaurants of popular resorts, where it will doubtless take its place besides the ever popular intermezzo from "Cavalleris Rusticans" and "La Paloma."

Preventive Treatment For Early Blight, Late Blight and Rot. Fungous diseases are caused by the growth of one plant upon another. The fundamental principle in the treatment of fungous diseases is to prevent the infection of the host plant by the spores of fungi. The most practical way of doing this is to apply to the plant to be protected some substance that will kill the spores before or immediately after they germinate without injuring the host plant. Such a substance is called a fungicide. The method of application is usually by spraying. Copper sulphate (common names, blue vitriol, bluestone) is the most generally used fungicidal substance. It is used both in a simple solution and as the basis of bordeaux mixture. The SPRAYING POTATOES. simple solution of blue vitriol when applied to leaves or other green parts of plants will cause "burning." The addition of lime to the solution will prevent this injury. This combination is called bordeaux mixture. The following is a good formula for the bordeaux mixture: Blue vitriol, 5 pounds; lime (fresh), 5 pounds; water, 50 gallons. Dissolve the vitriol in water (hot water will do it more rapidly), slack the lime, dilute each with as much water as can be done conveniently, the more the better; then mix and stir thoroughly. If a little yellow prussiate of potash is dissolved in water and a few drops added to the bordeaux mixture no change will be noted beyond perhaps a slight yellow color if enough lime has been used. If, however, too little has been used a brown color will appear, and more lime must be added. A small excess of lime will do no harm. Spraying Potatoes. The barrel pump is designed to be attached to a barrel or tank and is the most generally useful form for ordinary orchards, vineyards and potato fields. Where a large amount of spraying has to be done a sprayer run by horse or steam power may be obtained. The barrel pump outfit (the pump should be attached to the head of the barrel) may be carried in almost any farm wagon which is at hand, a light one horse rig being preferable. A convenient spray cart may be cheaply made by fastening a platform of boards or plank on the axle of a pair of forward wheels which are provided with strong thills. The platform can be made so as to be readily and quickly detached when the wheels are wanted for any other purpose. Early Blight.—Dark brown or black spots with sharp margins upon the leaves, increasing in size and number, finally killing the vines; usually appears on late potatoes the latter part of July. Late Blight and Rot.—Rapidly progressive wilting and dying of the leaves, a whitish moldlike growth appearing on the underside; accompanied by rotting of the tubers; appears in August. These two diseases are frequently present together. Treatment.—Spray with bordeaux mixture by the middle of July, a second time the first of August, a third time the middle of August. When bugs are present at either of these sprayings they may be killed by adding half a pound of paris green to a barrel of the bordeaux.—H. H. Samson, New Hampshire Experiment Station.

An attempt was made by the company to put the more intelligent Negroes in the places of the strikers, but so much fass was raised that the project was abandoned. It is hoped that some adjustment can be reached for the car works are the life of the town, and not only are the white merchants and the well-paid workmen losing money, but upwards of 500 conscientious, public spirited colored men are idle because of the trouble existing.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Made My Nerves Strong. "For many years I suffered from terrible headaches and pains at the base of the brain, and finally got so bad that I was overcome with nervous prostration. I had frequent dizzy spells and was so weak and exhausted that I could take but little food. The best I could do was could not sleep, would die of paralysis as my father and grandfather had. I remained a helpless invalid for three years, when I heard of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerve and began using it. That winter I felt better than I had before in many years, and I have not been able to recover since I first used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerve. My appetite is good and my nerves are strong."—Mrs. N. M. Bucknell, 2029 Oakland Ave. Minneapolis, Minn. "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration, and could not direct my household affairs, nor have any cares. My stomach was very weak, headaches very severe, and I was so nervous that there was not a night in years that I slept over one hour at a time. We spent hundreds of dollars to the Chicago office and treated by specialists, but received no benefit at all. Finally I heard of Dr. Miles' Nervine and began its use. I was surprised that it helped me so quickly, and great was my joy to find, after using seven bottles, that I had fully recovered my health."—Mrs. W. A. Thompson, Duluth, Minn.
