The church work also has moved on with increasing numbers as well as the King's College. The homes of the colored citizens are a thing of beauty and several heads of families are owners. The social life is extremely pleasant and fascinating, many of young people being accomplished in music. The chief livelihood is "waiting." The very best waiters of the country can be found at Taggart's hotel. They are men of ability and common sense. Most of them are in roving sort; here, there and everywhere they are spending their time. This is best evidenced by the money they have deposited in banks, homes they are purchasing and the spirit of do something that now comands so much of their attention.

She runs the management of parlores at the big hotel, and employers Alice Thomas and Josie Loyd as advisers. The home of Mrs. Cook is well situated for funnels and she makes a specialty of the large kitchen dinners for guests of the French Hotel. She serves in country style and wealthy visitors often come to her home for well-prepared and dainty dinners. Sol Pittman, a Louisville boy, has been so well prepared for eleven years. He is head porter at the Taggart Hotel. In proportion to his age, he makes greater progress than any of the bakeries in beautiful cottages and a lot.

Another feature of his business activity is the late office, of which he is proprietor. His cheeky honour at all the banks in Orange county. W. O. Martin conducts a tailoring es- tablishment and is one of the business promoters of the community. He takes interest in all matters for the elevation in the race. He figures conspicuously in the management of the Pluto Baseball Club. Clarence Thurman is the shoemaker, who Robert Pierce and Ben Johnson are propelling the race. Mrs. William Scott conducts a first-class dressmaking establishment right in the heart of the town. She has built up a splendid trade almost exclusively among the businessmen of Kentucky, Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson are of financial rating, most of their property being in Kentucky and Indianapolis, a place of a great business here that do fine business running boarding during the season.

He often visits a physician in giving his friends advice on how to drink the water. During the course he uses his spare time in his printing business; he does most of the printing in the valley. 'The headwaiter is James Gibbs. He is one of the oldest hotel men in the country. He has a national reputation for having the best hotel staff to employ. The second waiter is John Cook, and the third William Davis. During the busy season upwards of seventy-five men have joined the hotel. Gibbs and captains are Abe Laws, B. Eckert and James Head head linen man. Captains of the bell stand are Ike Lloyd and Henry Taylor. Both have held their places with honesty and integrity.

Mrs. Adolph Board conducts a dress-making establishment, while Holden & Adams run a dry cleaning establishment. A steam oven was recently installed in the house. From the spirit of thrift and industry that is now prevalent among the people in this city, most likely within a few years greater progress will be seen by most of the good work and the content by men working and have nothing to show at the end of the year.

D. DAYTON, Ohio, June 29—The ceremonies in connection with the unveiling of the monument erected in honor of Paul Dayton are said to mark a new epoch in the history of the Negro race. Think of fifty of Dayton's best white singers uniting in a chorus and singing selections written by Dayton. Had Jeff, Davis been present, or even Ben Tillman, either or both of them would have felt like committing suicide. I give here the Dayton Journal. The Dayton Journal has three great dailies, and ask Editor Knox to use whatever of them that suits him in this article. These great dailies counted themselves honored to carry the memorial speeches on their front pages and to otherwise speak of Dayton. A negro poet. Prof. W. S. Scarborough scored quite a point at the Dunbar memorial exercises, and the Dayton Journal was a genius, none of his achievements could be credited to Caucasian blood, and the great poet was of purely African extraction. Editorial from The Dayton the evening morning daily in this section of Ohio: SECTION OF OTHERS PAUL: LAURENCE DUNBAR PAUL LAUKENCE DUNBAK It was no advantage of race nor opportunity. He was a man of great ability. Paul Dunbak a poet. His color and his genius were largely unrelated. That he sprang of humble antecedents may accentuate but does not explain his gift of song. It is true that many of his minor verses were taken from his own life, and he made knowledge of the thoughts and feelings of his race. But the best work he did, the finest lines he wrote, the most enduring products of his pen, those by which he will be longest remembered, bear no trace of racialism. They might have been the white of the brain of the whitest of the white. In other words, Dunbar was a great poet, not because of his ancestry, not because he was a Negro, but because he was a slave, because the divine attribute and affaith of song. His lines that will most surely survive to his fame and hold him in the society of the immortals speaks of his life, of his dreams, of his dialect, it is true, but so have many other poets done. He voiced the joys and sorrows of his own people; he expressed their emotions and vividly told him their story. but he also armored them, he dreamed dreams, he saw visions he wrought his art into living lines; and it was Paul Dunbar, the poet, not alone the Negro, who thus thought and saw and strength. His religious sentiment was deep, and it manifests itself in manifold verses: I do not ask that Thou shalt front the fray, And drive the warring foeman from my sight: I only ask, O Lord, by night, by day, Strength for the fight. When does upon me press, let me not quail Not to turn me into coward flight. I only ask to make mine arms prevail, Strength for the fight. Still let mine eyes look ever on the foe, Still let mine armor case be strong and bright! And give me, as I deal each righteous blow, Strength for the fight. And when, at eventide, the fray is done, My soul to Death's bedchamber do Thou light, And give me, be the field lost or won, Rest from the fight! Editorial from the Dayton Herald, one of the most widely circulated afternoon dailies in Ohio. THE MONUMENT OF PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR. "Bury me beneath the willow, So I kain the song this. Such was the poetic wish of Paul Laurence Dunbar, as expressed in the inspiration of his "Death Song." At the unveiling of the Walt Disney Museum, this afternoon, a willow tree was planted by his grave. Nothing could be more fitting than the native genius of Dayton, who ranks as the most distinguished bard of the colored race. Prominent men from other parts of the country were in being present on this occasion and participating in the exercises. Paul Laurence Dunbar belong alone to no one race, nation, state or city. He was the pride of the nation. Dayton has produced many eminent men, notably Generals Wood, Schenck, Anderson and other heroes in war, and is known for his leadership in the Patterson, Barney and others. But they were not such international characters as the colored poet, who was known of all men in all climes where the English land was under attack, found its way. Although their genius pursued quite different lines, the name of the Wright brothers is the only one of any Dayton family that is better known the world over than the parish man with immortalized history the one with the classics of English literature and the other with the greatest invention of the century. Up to the time of the success of the Wright aeroplane, Dayton was one of any one who had ever lived in Dayton. Dunbar's work contributed not alone to his fame, but also to the intellectual standing of his race. Born of parents who were not Englishmen, he helped him, he became an author that attracted the admiration of the highest crit- ties in this country and the crowded heads of Europe. He has preserved the Negro dialect for all postity. His verses need no praise on this memorial occasion. Their merit has been as well established as history of the Negro dialect. Speaks more for him than can be told in any eulogy or story of his short, but eventful life. He left an inheritance for his race in that it could never be claimed. He could possibly come from an inferior being. Dunbar was born, reared and died in Dayton. He did his great work here. Verses that he wrote in an elevator and in his humble home were read in his village and found in every library. But he still lives the world over, and will continue to live like Homer, Horace and all who have sung so sweetly of their fellow-country's history of the material devices in existence, but the works of Dunbar will be handed down to other ages as he left them. He was an honor to the world of letters as well as to his race and native city, and he does more than can be put in bronze or marble. health, which has been much impaired, Felix is wearing the sparks and sparklets, and is drinking good bettermilk—like that which Fairbanks drinks—three times a day, and is asking, is everybody happy? TIME AND PLACE TO GET A HOME. Time is now. The place is Tuskegee, Macon county, Alabama. Every man who is at the head of a family or plans to have a village or a farm. Colored people can find no better place in which to permanently settle than in Macon county, Alabama, in which the Tuskegee Institute is located. In the first place, the white people in Macon county are among the finest and fairest in the world. No racial friction exists; justice is meted out to black and white alike. In the second place, there are ten thousand acres of farming land in Macon county which can be bought for cash or on easy terms. Children in persons do not wish to buy, but wish to move into the county and rent. A Few "Dots," Socially and Otherwise. Our next will deal with many social topics. We are giving most of our attention in this article to the Dunbar Memorial. Bishop B. F. Lee, D. D., preached last Sunday evening at Euclid Avenue A. M. E. Church.

You go your way with never a look be- And I am left wit hears that burn and blind. You do the laughing, Love, and I the weeping. Some time, perhaps, my heart of love may turn, And you'll be left with tears that blind and burn; Some one will smiling go upon his way, And you, meanwhile, will kneel to weep and pray. One does the laughing, Love, and one the weeping. There is one thing that we are noted for, and that may be "tongue religion." The price of peace along about the Fourth will cost you a trip across in Canada. Our churches should learn to settle one debt before making another—doubling the first one. The fellow that's lucky, these days, is the one who has money saved up when it comes his time to take his vacation. Young girls, when attending picnics these days, be sure and try the goldsmith's art by putting buckles upon the garter snake. When it comes to the Negro man or woman, reliability and responsibility are two words that seem to confuse them very much. I'd like to see the policeman who can drive a colored man in the opposite direction of a brass band playing a ragtime march. Do you know that some of our people think as much about a bank as a young lady does of a brass ring? "A dime spent in a theater is worth five in a bank." Isn't it funny that, with the fact confronting us that eatables are almost out of our reach, yet our folks can be seen every market day with well-filled baskets? The Negro may never be able to pay his rent or his grocery bill, and often must do without some latest style frock, yet he can always rake up enough money to pay his bond or fine. It is a sad fact that fish and mosquitoes inhabit the same locality. So when you return from a fishing trip, and your friends can get many bites, you can truthfully say that you did—at least the mosquitoes did. Of course, many of us would not mind going swimmin', but it's so much more trouble now than it was in the days when you dressed more simple in a straw hat, a pair of shorts and a pair of trousers with half a pair of suspenders, and not a shoe nor sock. **BUZHER RETURNS HOME.** Mr. Felix Ruxer, an old-timer of old Hoierdom, has returned to this city, after an absence of five years. Mr. Ruxer is residing with his beautiful little wife that he and his wife have been all through the Western country, and, with all the prosperous times that they have had, "old Budany" seemed better yet to them. So he and his wife have been in bones, and also to doctor up Mr. Ruxer's health, which has been much impaired. Felix is wearing the sparks and sparklets, and he has good buttermilk at which Fairhair has the times day, and is asking, "Is everybody happy?" TIME AND PLACE TO GET A HOME Time is now. The place is Tuskegee, Macon county, Alabama. Every man who lives in Macon county should buy a home, either a lot in a village or a farm. Colored people can find no better place in which to permanently settle than in Macon county, Alabama, in which the Tuskegee Institute is located.

In the second place, there are ten thousand acres of farming land in Macon county which can be bought for cash or on credit. Third, if persons do not wish to buy, but wish to move into the county and rent, and work by the day, they can easily arrange to do this. Fourth, aside from the land scattered in other counties, there are fourteen hundred acres of land in small tracts for sale within sight of the Normal School. Fifth, the public schools for colored people in Macon county are the best, in our opinion, in the South. Sixth, Aside from the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, the town schools, as well as the country schools throughout the state, are housed in eight to nine months in the year.

Hardy Becomes Weather Observer at Mobile, Ala.—The Associated Press News Service Marked by Prejudice—Tries to Belittle Success of Successful Negro Applicant—Pensacola, Fla., Offers Objection, but Mobile Accepts Him without Demur—White People in New Orleans Show Their Superstition—City Alarmed Over Strange Manifestations at 1125 Frenchman Street, Where "Spirits" Are Said to Worry Immates—Black and Tans Hold Meeting; Want to Harmonize with Lily Whites. KY V. P. THOMPSON Special to THE NMKLMA. NEW ORLEANS June 26, 1999. An Associated Press dispatch from Mobile, Ala., under date of June 23, speaks in the following manner of a colored man who passed the required examination and received the appointment applied for: Mobile, Ala., June 23.—Probably one of the first NEGroes over a break into the Weather Department, he arrived here to-day, in the person of Elijah S. Hardy, of Snow Hill, Ala., who came to take the position of weather observer. He was also an examiner and filed the bond. Hardy first assigned to Pensacola, Fla., but a charge of incompetence was filed against him and he was sent to this city. The assistant said, "This city has a charge to Pensacola." When the Associated Press takes stock is the belittling of the colored people to the extent of saying Negroes are breaking into it. State officials it is dangerously near becoming in its news service and unnecessarily shows its own ill will toward the black man in the honest world. That is making him to be a threat to the world. That is breaking into the Weather Service," as used by the Associated Press, sounds bad, coming from such a source, but would be taken in a lighter sense. It is being treated to be the reality of the white man. Mobile to Mr. Hardy's holding position he earned by the rating he received from those whose sworn business it was. It was the lack of qualifications in open competence examination. Is the Associated Press going into the business of fomenting troubles between the races where there are no troubles? Is the Associated Press was a news media which had no "axes to grind." White People Superstitious. The following ghost story, as told by local newspapers of New Orleans, shows what a hold the white in ghosts and spirits has on many white people in that city. The story proves that the white people in the Crescent City are larger in turn of mind and onto the colored people in the alarm they give about their WHITE PEOPLE WORRIED BY "GHOSTS." The New Orleans Daily States of June 24 maintains the following: THE BLACK BASEMENT APPEAL FOR HARMONY THE Black and Tars, or "Old Line Republican" still show desire to be under the same plum tree that shelters the Lily Whites. night the "Old Liners" met in St. Katherine's avenue, and adopted resolutions look ing toward a combination of the two facings in accordance with lines laid down at the package convention of 1908. These were in fact the two State committees should be recognized the Republicans in Louisiana had recognized under instructions from the national committees. The resolutions name Pearl Wight, H. C. Warmth, Rufus E. Foster of the Lily Whites and Walter L. Cohen, Emile Kuntz, and the ace of the Black and Tans as a committee to bring about the reorganization desired by the Black and Tans. Another committee was appointed to add further communication on the situation to the chapter. national committee. Although this meeting did advertise for Thursday night at St. Katherine Hall, the crowd which went out to that hat was on foot was very meager, there being too few people present. Cohen, Vance, Kuntz and other members that faction not showing up in the meeting. But the result shows that the hands of the politicians were working the machinery of the war. The names of Messrs Pearl Wight, H. C. Warnes and Rufus E. Foster, which appear as names of persons desired as members of the war, harmonize the factional differences in the State were used no doubt by the meeting without their consent or knowledge.

THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. To the Editor of THE FREEMAN: To the Editor of THE FREEMAN: paper. I wish to remind the local Leagues and individual members of the League, as well as others throughout the country, of the fact that the National Negro Business League, must give gust 18, and will remain in session three days. Just as soon as Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the Secretary, returns from Liberia, Africa, the detailed program will be issued. In the meantime, it is most important that the local Leagues select delegates who will represent them at the Louisville men's team. I also wish to urge the attendance of men and women of our race engaged in business throughout the country who have not heretofore been present at the League meetings and hear and see the strong, successful men of our race without getting new ideas, and new encouragement which he can take home and use in his own business. Aside from this consideration, every man owes it to himself and to his family to take a few days off for rest and recreation of scenery and in the daily routine of life. The people of Louisville, of both races, are making extensive preparations for the upcoming business League. Aside from preparations covering the business portion of the work of the League, extensive preparations are underway for social functions which will will be held on the entire day on the program, showing what progress that State has made in business and growth. A new and unique feature of the Louisville program will consist in the fact that the State will be presenting the entire day on the program, showing what progress that State has made in business and growth. That the men will not only be present in large numbers, but, if possible, they will bring their wives and other members of their families, so that the occasion will be appreciated by more other things, the local committee is providing for and old-fashioned barbecue on the 15th, a banquet in one of the largest clubs in the city, and a trip to Mammoth Cave on the 21st. Now is the time above all others in the history of our race for us to bend our enduring directions, and the National Business League points the way for this kind of work as no other organization does.

Atlantic City has been the popular seaside resort for colored people for years. The crest of Negro aristocracy is looming up. Atlantic City is a good place to see some of the evidences. If you have any perspiration, prepare to shed it now in these sizzling days. If March and April would borrow a few days of advanced weather, as June seems to be doing, we'd think none the less of March and April. Supervisors and enumerators for the census will not have to stand competitive examination. Seems to be a sort of compromise by which both forms of selection will be maintained. It is to be hoped that the Bishop Lampton affair at his home in Greenville may be amicably adjusted. The bishop has too much at stake to have it jeopardized on the account of a telephone misunderstanding. Col. Allensworth's town begins very auspiciously. High hopes and optimism reign supreme. It is to be hoped that nothing will happen to thwart the progress of the colony or to daunt the ambition of the leaders. The Elkhart judge said that the local option law was unconstitutional. Does it mean that the law is thrown down, or will there be more opinions? The judge certainly gave it an upper-cut when he said that the Legislature had thrust a duty on the people that should have been assumed by the Legislature. Some genius of a colored man has figured out that something like $18,077 is due the colored people of Virginia annually for school purposes on the basis of color as it concerns apportionment. They pay in taxes $507,305 and receive $498,228 for education. This was for last year, but it said similar condition is yearly. Guess the State has to have a "teetle" profit. LOGANSPORT, IND.

PARKHURST'S REMEDY. I am decidedly of the opinion that the more wine there is produced in this country and the more freely it is transported the more it will be used and the smaller the amount of drunkenness is correct statement of my views on the wine and whisky question. Of course, by expressing myself in that way I lay my open to charges from my employer, and I should that should deter me from speaking the truth. REV. C. H. PARKHURST. LINCOLN'S TEMPERANCE VIEWS. Too much denunciation against dram sellers and dram drinkers is indulged in. It is impolite, because it is not much in the nature of man to be driven to any denunciation, and the only way in which is exclusively his own business; and least of all, where such driving is to be submitted to at the expense of pecuniary interests or burning appetite. When the dram seller is not in the accents of entreaty or persuasion, diffidently addressed by erring men to an erring brother, but in the thundering tones of anathema and denunciation, with which the lordly will be so accustomed to the accents of felon's life and thrusts them in his face just ere he passes sentence of death upon him, that they are the authors of all vice, and misery, and crime in the land; that they are men and robbers of all thieves and robbers and murderers that infest the earth; that their homes are the workshops of the devil; and that their persons should be shunned by all the good and virtuous as most of the villains, who are all this, and in this way, it is not wonderful that they are slow, very slow, to acknowledge the truth of such denunciation, and to join the ranks of their denounceers in a hue and the color of their faces before the Springfield Washington Temperature Society, Feb. 22, 1842. ST. PAUL. MINN. Special to THE FREEMAN MINNEAPOLIS MINN Special to THE FREEMAN. Association Organized with Prof. W. H. Perry at the Head. LOUISVILLE, Ky. With the closing of the city schools it has always been something of a problem as to what should be done with the children until the fall season. For several years there have been grounds so that the children would have some place other than the streets in which to paly. Last year one or two of such playgrounds maintained in school of the colors/colors/but this those who have had the work in hand have decided that something more pretentious should be tried and they have organized a branch of the association a branch of the National Recreation League, and in which they will have the benefit of the co-operation of the local white association. Plans have been made to have at least two playgrounds with an area of 1000 square feet be taught rames and other diversions the same as is done with the white children of the city. It is expected that some help will be given the work by the city authorities. Prof. Wm. H. Perry, principal of the Western Colored School, is at the head of the movement and Prof. S. O. Johnson will in all probability have charge of one of the playgrounds. Mrs. Oliver Lawson, of Chicago, was the guest of Prof. and Mrs. D. L. Lawson for a few days of last week. Miss Mollie Harris and Master Everett Harris left this week for a stay of several months with relatives in Virginia.

Miss Kaye has much loved and highly appreciated She will be joined by Miss Bessie B. Hughes and spend the 4th in Indianapolis. Although a good many of the teachers have left town for the summer the social affairs of the city are not as dull as would be supposed.

McGee, Michael and Messrs. Young and Maine. It is Planned to have several of these services during the summer months in lieu of the regular preaching service.

Blue, Librarian of the Colorado Branch Library. The season of the moonlight boat excursions is at hand and is meeting with about the usual success. The amusements are scarcely planned, that the scarcely be blamed or criticised for the amount of money they spend in these excursions. The Congregational Church took out a record-breaking crowd on Wednesday to the church to do the same. Favourable expects to do the same thing on the 6th of July. Miss M. V. Webster has been in Nashville this week in attendance upon a celestial place. For the past few years Miss Webster has been the moving spirit in a movement to erect a monument over the grave of Grand Princess of the order. On Tuesday she unveiled this monument and made the address. Miss Webster is the present Grand Princess of the order, and is well favorably known throughout the country. --- Notwithstanding the hot weather the politics in Louisville continue to simmer. Black Republicanism is somewhat worked up over the fact that W. H. Wright, who represents in the district, is a representative in his district, has decided to run as an independent candidate, since the local powers that be decided to not give him a chance to run on the Republican party, have a visibility of such a movement, but the general consensus seems to be that it is a good thing to let the Republican party know that the "Brother" is going to determine which are given to the "cabinet" or their chenchmen. If Wright succeeds in withstanding the pressure that is being brought to bear to get him to withdraw, and should be so fortunate as to win out it would be so easy, that they are in control of the black vote and who yet feel that they do not owe the voters anything except broken promises. The new departure at the Colored Branch Library in regard to the station work seems to be meeting with good success. Instead of closing the station the schools closed, as has been the custom in the past, it was decided to make a trial this year of keeping at least two stations off so that the public in those sections of the city would have access without the necessity of coming to the branch. The plan seems to be working well and is but an evidence of the interest of the city in the public work when the effort is seriously made to the library to them. It is hoped that wohr will soon be begun on the new $17,000 branch for colored people, which is to be opened in the summer of 1904 and for which the board appropriated the money some months ago. At the recent examination which was given for appraisal of the colored applicants passed with all the which compare favorably with those of the white applicants who took the same examination.

Pelham has been sustained by the Chief Commissioners, before whom matter was handled. The palice trial board. Bumpious white officers are now very careful how they take up and humiliate colored men of respecta- tion and standing. In 1930 Pelham, Watts caught a fartar mawaw, and result of his bad judgment and crass meanness he is minus $20 of the coin of the realm, attorneys' fees and a lot of val- uation, being banned from the 14th street Great White's and made to do duty on the outskirts of the town. *** The speech of Hon. Charles W. Anderson, of New York, on the occasion of the graduating exercises of the High and Norwegian universities, was so powerful, favorably, it was broad in scope, thoughtful in treatment and courageous in its conclusions, covering in a comprehensive way the field of education, politics, business, and government. His remarks, course of the administration in its relation to the race. His remarks won the hearty approval of President Taft, who was a strong supporter of him after he reached Convention Hall. The significant portion of the President's remarks was the assurance that Mr. Anderson would be retained as Collector of In Revenue for the second district of New York strictly upon his merits as an officer. Mr. Emmett J. Scott and his two associate members of the Liberian commission are expected to reach New York on the day of the visit, and are expected to flagship "Chester," accompanied by the scout cruisers "Salem" and "Bringham." The trio will proceed immediately to the United States to report before President Taft and the State House. As stated last week, the colored people of the capital are preparing to give Mr. Scott a royal welcome in recognition of the gilt-trimmed uniforms and the efforts to bring into closer communion the United States and the Liberian Republic. Mrs. E. J. Scott and her interesting quinquennial visit to the masses of the Schoohousehold will be here next week, in readiness to greet the talented Commander upon his arrival home. . . . Mr. W. L. Houston, Grand Master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, now located in Chicago, where he is pardoning the Master E. H.

He will be in Philadelphia, and will be sub-cittee of management; from the 25th of July to August 1 he will be in Washington. From this point he will go to Mobile, Ala., and stay until August 8 with Mr. Houston. He will go to Albany, Ga., to attend the District Grand Lodge of Georgia, returning to Chicago about the 15th of August. Mr. Houston is catching on in grandifying the Chicago the Chicago and in their homes, and he is already very much "at home" in his new surroundings. *** Your correspondent ventures the suggestion that during the session of the National Negro Business League at Louisville in August, the newspaper men attendance together in a formal own, looking to the organization of a National Negro Press Association, as an auxiliary to the Business League. The newspaper men present a question, an organization, and the good effect of bringing these callings together has already been seen. Owing to the expense, a separate correspondent is present to this question. As nothing of a political nature should be brought before the press convention at this time, when the business aspect of the primary thing to be considered the holdover in conjunction with the Business League seems to us to be in perfect keeping with the intent and purpose of the parent body, can thus be formed, and out of it may come a much-needed stimulus for the editors, publishers and correspondents who are interested in the business League and endeavor to carry home the inspiration gathered from its cosmopolitan membership. eW should like to have the views of such able and far-seeking men, and to have the leadership, son, R. T. Barry, E. E. Underwood, Phil Brown, Cary B. Lewis and Albert S. White and Miss Julia Sohmers Young, who are interested in and who might, with propriety, take the lead in promoting such a conclave. A word from the press gang in general will be appreciated. Why not a heart-to-heart correspondent the newspaper folk at Louisville in August? Bishop E. W, Lampton, of the A. M. E. Church, was in the city a few hours Sunday, returning from a session of the Bishops' Council that was held at Wilberforce, Ohio, and attending while there the annual commencement exercises of the school. Asked about the report that he had made, Bishop F. Miss, who gave his name in Grimoire, miss, because of controversy between his daughter and a telephone operator: Bishop Lampton said: "You will, no doubt, be surprised to know that I myself knew nothing of the matter until one of my friends showed me the video of my first visit after my arrival at Wilberforce. I had been making a fight on the floor of the council for the holding of the next general conference in the central South. The city that gets the conference general makes the conference general, very delegates and the conference continues in session for several weeks. You can imagine my surprise when, on taking my seat, I was handed a newspaper containing an article about the Bishops' Council. The facts are: I left my home in Greenville, Miss., at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, June 12, in company with Rev. E. Wittenberg, Rev. J. J. Morant, Prof. J. Wittenberg, to the Wilberforce, Ohio, to attend the Bishops' Council and the Wilberforce commencement. I have had no knowledge of a mob or mob violence as was contained in the newspaper reports. I fear my people in the city after my arrival, myself, are being sadly misrepresented." Bishop Lampton indicated that he would return to his home in Greenville and resume his business, just as if nothing had happened, when he is strong with the merchants and state and city officials, and they place too high a valuation upon colored men of the Lampton type to permit a slight misunderstanding to alienate him from the land that has been purchased. The episode will not tend to injure in any way the standing of Bishop Lampton with the first-class people of Greenville or the state of Mississippi. The incident furnishes just another example of the venal nature of the stuff to the Associated Press, with the hope of adding a few dirty dollars to their pockets.

He is prople well and favorably known among a large number of colored people, who are going to vote for him on his principles as a man. In voting for Fred C. Owen every colored man in the city will be casting his suffrage for his own best individual interest. Mr. Owen is a coog man who stands for the protection of property owner. This should appeal to every Negro who has succeeded in buying himself a little home. All citizens repose for the property owner owning class can feel assured that the property and purpose of Mr. Owen to block every measure that may arise tending toward unnecessary improvement assessments.

What proved to be the grandest musical event ever given by a colored organization in this city was the tacit agreement between the R.K. of F. Concert Band, under the direction of Prof. C. Walter Striplin, at the Warren M. E. Church, last Sunday night. In their natty blue uniform a splendid appearance as they sat on the platform arranged for them about the pulpit. Prof. Striplin, the director, deserves great credit for his excellent manner in which he handles his men and the results that he has already obtained in such a short space of time. Particularly for the change of five weeks, have proved to be far beyond the expectations of the critics. All of the numbers were rendered in superb partitions by the "A Sunup" by Flath; "The War of March of the Priests," by Mendelssohn, and "The Pontifical March," by Gounod, arranged by Prof. Striplin for bass solo. The hearts of his hearers, who are doing exceedingly well as a soloist, next highest honors were about equally divided between G. Harry Bolder, tenor, and H. B. Ashby, bassoonist, who were doing exceedingly well as a soloist. Next highest honors were about equally divided between G. Harry Bolder, tenor, and H. B. Ashby, bassoonist, who were highly appreciated. R. Anthony Bush, piano accompanist, also came in THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER for his share of praise, for his work could hardly be improved upon. All in all, it was indeed a grand affair. The second band was given by the band will be given at the Trinity Church, Sunday evening, July 4. Despite the fact that we are in the midst of a street car strike, and the weather is getting worse, we are attended by a large and highly appreciative audience. The roster of the band as follows: A.

Then came the five Williams, singers and dancers of rare ability, who were also well received. A fair monologist and moving pictures closed the bill. THE STAR—This house offers a very good bill this week, headed by Stella and Jeremy "Smucker," assisted by the performer, who actually played the comedy sketch, which was one of the best acts of its kind ever witnessed on the Avenue. Each of the performers was given the opportunity. Mr. Ringer's comedy was the cause of great laughter. It is indeed a very good act. Then came Gordon Bunch, a very clever monologist, who did exceed. The monologist, in a very comedy, Hanson, a very good ventriloquist, and moving pictures closed one of the best bills seen on the Avenue for some time. Then came the very nice bill, headed by Robinson and Gough, a fairly good team of singers and dancers who more than made good. Then came Al Lewis, a fairly good monologist, who pressed the very heartily applauded. Then came MY HOT DEHOMEY! By JULI JONES A friend of mine told a friend of mine not to tell any one that he was told that Clarence Powell would play one week on the Stroll before going into rehearsal. New York now boasts of having the only two organizations in the world to push ten profession higher up. We hope that they will give us out West a chance to peep in. We will behave. Kid Thomas, the roller skate dancing champion, has just arrived from a forty-two weeks tour and will rest in this city until he sails for Paris, France, where he booked to open for a run of fifteen weeks. Slim Henderson, one of the Dohoney faces he was engaged to play ten weeks at the Jacksonville (Fla.) Airdome, Mr. Henderson has been on the sick list all the spring. W. H. Smith is the Florida company's Chicago representative. There is plenty of good news from the Far West—any amount from Seattle. It seems that the colored talent caught on at first. Funny, too, for these kind of things never do such thing; but there is such thing as a good show making business whether or not. The different houses along the Stroll are still fighting, but colored talent has about given out and this will dull matters for the season. The team needs to keep in the lead and has engaged Sydney Perrin to collaborate with J. Ed. Green to put on a 30-minute musical comedy, which he has been working on to take soubrette parts. Mr. Perrin will also do comedy in his own skits. The Grand is still the card, doing good business regularly. Swainman is back in the leader's chair and has introduced a new march song, "I Ain't Goin' Back to Kanada," and the "fightness" little house in Chicago, always has a capital bill. The management has a shek to throw inside of the next ten days that will jar Dehoney. The team is grinding up, ply grinding up and keeping a good distance fro mthe real battle, allowing the box office to tell the tale. The team has out new ones and has also had the pleasure of presenting Billy King in his last week in Dehoney. Gus Hall, the Temple's stock tenor singer has an offer to join the big Eastern companies for the coming season. Bert A. Williams, the great comedian, defeated justice with one word of his latest song and that a-plenty. The incident happened in Detroit. The incumbent happened in Detroit, and Mr. Beck's engagement, Bert is very fond of automobile driving and feels that he can be classed as a driver. He went on the first day in the city and made arrangements with one of his friends to drive out every car in the garage with a view of buying. Things went well for two days. The third day Mr. Williams came to grief for fast driving. He can oversee a car with a bodybryd thought it a joke until he had crippled a dozen or more people and run down "no telling" how many over a hundred. One of the bravest put a stop to the car. Williams and his car. Next morning Mr. Williams was hailed before one of Detroit's most severe judges for reckless driving. The court was packed to hear Mr. Beck's defense, as he was refused a lawyer. The judge read the charge over and said. "What have you to say, sir?" Mr. Williams got as far as you, "see, judge," when the judge interrupted him by say-ing and said, "Mr. Williams smiled and said, 'That's a plenty.' Judge misunderstood him and said, 'Did you dare to insult me by saying 'Make it twenty?' Mr. Williams with a smile salute. 'No, you honor, I simply said that a plenty.' Judge misunderstood him and said, 'You may go free this time.' Mr. Williams thanked the judge and said, 'You have said a-plenty' and made for it. 'You were aully five minutes before order could be given.' It was the first time in twenty years since the judged laughed on the bench. WILLIAMS AND STEVENS. WILLIAMS AND STEVENS.

With the sight of the fight, with blood streaming from his nose and ears, Jack, for a while, looked a beaten man. Dick kept stepping about his opponent, avoiding rushes and tackling, and drew blood. But this failed to stop Jack. The end came in the eight- ATTENTION PLEASE! Can place one or two Clever Singing Dancing Soubrettes. Lottie Grady—Please write.

McDowell was called to St. Louis last Thursday on a professional and business trip. The Doctor is making rapid progress in building up a practice in Chicago ranks with the best in the Windy City. Dr. E. W. D. Abner, of Austin, Texas, is in the city and has matriculated at the Northwestern Medical School her mer course. He is taking special laboratory work. Last summer Dr. Abner postgraduated from the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons. He enjoys a large and growing practice in the South. THE FREEMAN management in Chicago has procured the services of Mr. James W. Woodiee, who was the manager and owner of the Negro while it was published in Athens. Woodiee is an able writer, a literary man of excellent resources, and will greatly design our thousands of readers by the brilliant writing. The Chicago public will please take notice, as possibly no more worthy scholar is to be found, whose charming literary style places him among the leading Negroes of the social opinion. We hope to land some other gallant knight of society's social doings. Among the many "big doings" during the past week was the house warming of the Masonic Temple, the lecture of Editor of the Dumbar memorial meeting at the above named church. Preaching was general and of a high quality, and the instituted church of the many churches for the armed people Sunday, June 27. The church come and outings by rail and steamboat will help to furnish amusement and pleasure to hundreds of visitors in our city. With advent of the coming week the teacher will over the sound and west will be coming here for a vacation schools and the universities. The Knights of Tabor met at Bethel A| M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, in their annual religious services. The attendance of the members of the order was large, and together with the friends who turned in their books, the three were filled. But that was all, for from start to finish the meeting was poorly managed. In the first place, the responsive reading was ridiculous, but the fault was not with the reading, but with the committee, that failed to provide enough programs. Every sixth person had one, and the presiding officer explained that the balance of them were to be used at the beginning of the meeting, but was lost in taking up the collection by tabernacles. No doubt this part was of importance to the order, but not to an impatient and perspiring audience. From an ill-attendance, the onall at last they reached the sermon. Rev. A. J. Carey, the pastor selected to preach, realized the lateness of the hour and made no attempt to discuss his well prepared notes and thus ended a meeting that was of no credit to the 186,000 members throughout the Ummed States. The organization is upwards of ten years old, and consists of men and women deeply interested in the arts, eager to make sacrifices to prove that the Negro can attain in the great musical world honorable mention and recognition for his work. The lawyer, is president; Mr. Pedro Tinsley, conductor; Prof. Kemper Harold, leader of orchestra; Misses Williams and Gertrude Winslow, the conductor of Marie Burton, soprano soloists; Miss Constantia Brown, contralto, of Baltimore, Md.; Mr. Spyglass, baritone; Mr. Revels, tenor. The flowers were in abundance—everyone nicely remembered by their friends. Thus passed into history the very best and most talented musicians in this organization. A year ago they rendered a canta in the down-town district in one of Chicago's elegant theaters, but this organization by critics as their climax production. Friday night, at the Institutional Church, after Mr. Manning had finished his speech, he applauded, Mr. Clarence S. Darrow, a gentleman of the socialist class, made a twenty-minute speech in which he attested to the great Southern question. He feels himself always capable to advise all Negroes, and chief in this he began by telling the Negroes that the temptable many white people are. He classed the entire Negro race with the poor white trash and the illiterate foreigners, and that the Negroes who applauded his statement. "Negroes," he said, "were not as good as white people, although there are Negroes who are as good as the men of any race, and who are not as good as the earth and should strive to be acceptable to the working classes, for down there is where you belong. He was sure that the Negroes were not as good as the prejudiced as the Southern people, but he did not follow up that statement with a word of proof. If there is a man in the South who is not as good as Clarence Darrow is the one. He repudiated the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and used a rip saw of his bellicose logic on Prof. Kelly Miller, and found that he was not as good as the body in particular. He disputed Kelly Miller's statement that piety is one of the cardinal principles of the race. Mr. Darrow does not know how to up the hill of progress by accepting that biblical injunction, "First seek ye the Kingdom of Heaven and all righteousness and all things will be added to you. You should not be a grot all that has commended him to a decent, sincere and serious civilization. This is the secret of whatever consideration the Negro has received from the white people. You should not be a Miller know it better than any white man on earth? Whoever wrote "Why" editorial in the Chicago Conservator has a good opinion of himself. That is one of the evidences of race progress over which we may heretofore be confident. We are God's humble creatures and be proud that one honest, noble, true, virtuous and wise citizen lives among us, breathing the same kind of air we breathe, drinking the same kind of water we drink, the same kind of food. The question will never be answered, "How we ever got along without the Conservator?" Heretofore, and even now, it reminds us of a colorel company, the Colorel company and the ghost forgot his lines. We are a little bit sad over the fact that the "now and then" paper of Chicago should have ever frown so bold as to place a ban on ambition. We never know what we are, we are not lished on "leaders" are granted any kind of Anyhow, we applaud the paper that had the editorial swinging to its mast head, and the wall, entitled "Why?" Now why is a big proposition as of other bristling questions as a pack of nails. We admire the great things, standing before the great present times like the Godess of Liberty at Bedloe, with the great question why answered: burnishing it in the Jul yun, very godness with uplifted hand speaketh. BISHOPS' COUNCIL MEETS Most Important Session Held at Wilberforce, Ohio. WILBERFORCE, O., June 22.—The Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. Church just closed one of the most important session of its history. As the General Council during the closing exercises of WILBERFORCE versity a great number of ministers from every state of the Union, Canada and South America were present. All members of the commission were present except Bishop Flipper, and all bishops preside in districts in the United States were at the council except Bishop Salter and Flipper. "Bishop Lampton took exceptions when an operator addressed his daughter as Gertrude' while announcing a long disbandment of the church. That mass meeting of white citizens it was at first decided to lynch Lampton 'because he was becoming too important for comfort on the whites. Cooler counsel finally prevailed and he drove him from town. The conservative citizens guarantee Lampton protection should he wish to return." He paused for a few minutes and said: "This is dated June 14. I left my home 10:15 a.m. Saturday, 10:12 a.m. company with Doctor W. Wittenberg, I. Morant, Prof. D. W. Gary and my daughter, Miss P. G. Lampton, leaving Memphis en route to this place. I have been in the South no violence. I fear my people in the South are being misrepresented as well as myself." The commission immediately by vote, selected Kansas City, Mo., as the seat of the next General Conference, which means on behalf of the people of Kansas. Bishop A. Grant, 533 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kan., was elected chairman of the commision and Bishop E. W. Lampton, 502 N. Theobold avenue, Greenwich Mis., chairman of the R. R. commission. Bishop Lampton again renewed his efforts for the South and the council decided to hold its next session in Bishop Lampton's home state, Mississippi. VIEWS OF THE PRESS. “Tis not in mortals to command success, but will do well, Sempronius—will deserve it.”—Shakespeare. The school will do not win it. for life is short and individuals may die before truth comes into its own. But great races of men are practically perennials and their values are practically sure to in their deserved end, and persistence is the solution of race problems. All superficial clamoring and raging and all meek supplicating and longing will avail themselves in the natural course of strength, for in the natural course of existence the fittest survive and the weakest perish—The Colorado Statesman. When the school term has ended, it is the duty of every student to find something to do, and stick to it till the vacation is over.

The Negroes of the South offer no substantial objections to the abrogation of their political rights by unconstitutional amendments, for the reason there may be a lack of respect for correction but there will be no acquiescence to the attempt of a certain class of white men, whether they come from Canada or elsewhere, to shut us out from honest toll. The Negroes of the South have helped industrial factors in the community life where we live, or become THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER idlers and criminals and a menace to decent government.

In all cases the minister may not be the intellectual leader of his people, as much as this is desirable in an effective, all-inclusive ministry, but he may be, be, and ought to be, a leader in things moral. A minister is not always expected to be learned, but he is expected to be educated, for example he and his church ought to be known for vigorous opponents of vice, of corruption and immorality. When a moral issue is at stake, whether in business, politics or religion, the minister should be one of those who will take the lead. And this is especially true of our own ministry, who more than any other ministers in Christendom are the real leaders of the church, and who are people and their God; they are the interpreters of the Bible and morality; and they are followed implicitly—sometimes, and sometimes—by people are not torn by theological doubt and infidelity, while most of them accept the gospel as it is taught them from the pulpit and lived by the ministry. Now is the right minister to assert his moral leadership. As much as we admire learning, and try to follow it, we are not blind to the fact that mere book knowledge must always take a second place. We do not need today great theologians in the ranks of our supernatural character, capable of definite, powerful leadership in the great moral battles which we daily face.—The Christian Recorder. DEPOSITORS TO RECEIVE MONEY. WASHINGTON, D. C., Special—United States Attorney-General Wickersham is taking an active interest in plans for setting the affairs of the long-defunct Freedman's Trust, a group of thousands of Negroes were induced to deposi their money after the Civil War. Negroes throughout the United States are inclined to Freeman's Trust and there is a possibility of those who lost their money in the venture receiving at least a part, if not all, of their deposits. The number of depositors is 925,22 to 61,131 depositors. Under a Federal Commission dividends aggregating 62 per cent. have been declared, and of this amount 1,291,744,745 still unpaid. Dr. White called the attention of Judge Taft to this matter before he became President, and Attorney-General Wickersham's account is believed to have been inspired by Mr. Taft. ATLANTIC CITY, N.

A Difficult Curve to Control—"Bugs" Raymond, of the New York Giants, Tells About It. The spit ball is absolutely different from any other form of curve ball ever thrown. It is the result of an entirely different pattern. All boys who have played ball know that the ordinary curve is thrown by grasping the ball tightly, and then spinning it off the ends of the fingers, the fingers on billard ball. The ordinary curve ball, therefore, always gets the twist as it leaves the tips of the fingers, after having been released by the thumb. A spot on the ball about the reverse of this, a silver dollar is moistened with saliva. This spot is made so lubricant that the fingers, when placed upon the tip, of the first two finers are placed upon the moist spot, and the thump on the opposite side of the ball, and beneath. The ball is thrown with all the strength, the thumb is raised, gripping, slip off, and the ball takes a peculiar wabbling movement f from the thumb, which it leaves last. The spit ball is naturally very hard to control, and is difficult to regulate its direction with the point of the thumb. When the ball comes up to the plate it makes a sudden "break," and will drop either to one side or the other. The pitch is always well tell which it is going to "break." For a while the pitchers had great difficulty in getting up speed on the spit ball, but now they can throw it almost swiftly as the ordinary curve. MILES BEATS WEBBE.

TULSA, Okla.—Al Miles, "the Chicago Wonder," after being awarded the decision over Cyclone Webbe in their twenty-round bout last week, had the following "I fought Cyclone too hard.

Webbe lost to Miles on a foul in the eighteenth round. Miles challenges the ball at 155 or 160 pounds, weigh in at 3 "pockel as well as claims the light mid- THE FREEMAN.

COLORED SPORTING CLUB ORGANIZED IN MEMPHIS Exclusively for Negro Fighters—Effort to Get a Championship Match Between Johnson and Langford. MEMPHIS, Tenn.—What is believed to be the only club of its kind in the world, being composed entirely of Negroes and whites, is being organized here, and will cut into the prize fighting field under the State-wide laws just passed legalizing eight-round bouts. The Negroes will be matched, and an effort will be made to have two black men, Sam Langford and Jack Johnson, fight for the world's championship here. Since the number of Negroes in this immediate vicinity at 100,000, and the promoters do not anticipate lack of support from the Negro kins is president, John Griffin treasurer, and Pole Steel matchmaker. White people will be barred, except as spectators, and is chartered under the State laws. SAM LANGFORD IS HOME. NEW YORK—Sam Langford, the Negro heavyweight, who recently went to the U.S. to compete in the weight championship by knocking out Ian Hague, has returned home on board the team. He will be the first fight Johnson for the championship at any time," he declared as he left the steamer. MOVEMENT TO GUARD AGAINST SPIKING—NEW SHOE Spiking Dangerous to Ball Players— May Do Away with Sharp Edge Cleats—Injury Frequent. That baseball will soon be as dangerous as football unless a means is found to do away with "spiking" is the opinion of experts. Hardly a day passes that some player in the big leagues is not put out of the game as a result of being gashed by the sharp steel plates worn on the ball player shoes. He keeps him from slipping and sliding over the ground. In the movement to guard against the spiking peril a new baseball shoe has been designed. Instead of the present razor-wielding shoes, the three corners of a metal plate, which is riveted to the ball and heel of the shoe, the head of the rivet being on the interior so as to prevent any irritation of the foot. The player must practice yet, and the experiment will be watched with interest by those desirous of legislating the spiked shoe out of baseball. Both base runner and guardian of the bag must display absolute courage in making close plays. The runner dares not slow up for fear of being put out and losing a chance to score a run that will be missed. The guardian of the bag must be recklessly indifferent to the peril of a collision. Consequently, they are smashing together all the time, ankles, feet and legs are cut, bones are broken, and injuries sustained. Managers have come to so thoroughly understand the perils that go with putting a tag on a base runner that almost never gets in the way of inquiring into the abilities of a newcomer is: "Can he touch out base runners? This looks easy. It might be expected to be a simple feature of an infielder's work, but as a matter of fact it is the hardest. It is a play whose difficulties escape the average spectator. He can see and thrill when a long hit is made, a difficult running catch completed, a one-hand stop and a catch, and nerve necessary to escape the spikes and touch out the base runner are features of the game lightly esteemed by the man he plays. A close play is never made but that the baseman is put in imminent peril. In his cagerness to reach the bag the runner is shown any undue caution, he would be voted a quitter, and would soon find himself out of a job. He must come straight through, never thinking of consequences, whether he self or to the man he is seeking to elude. In fact, a large percentage of runners now slide even to first base on bunts or have never there is a chance of beating them out. Therefore, not even the first baseman is immune from the peril of getting mixed up with the spikes. The international spiking are rare. Not many ball players will intentionally main a fellow player. Yet in the anger and excitement of the game men lose the肘头, and often make accusations that they are not playing well. The catcher is more exposed to the spiking peril than any of his fellows, for the probable reason that plays are at the home plate more bitterly contested. The catcher is the base runner has moved around to the last stretch of the journey, but as far as the vital question of run making goes, he is not the one who gets the bat unless he can cross the home plate. Therefore, extra recklessness inspires him when he gets to this point. The catch is correspondingly anxious to stop this is a combination that leads to many serious smashups at the home station. The great second baseman and short-stops know the fine art of geeting the ball and admitting that the knowledge is of paramount value in guarding second base. Here a great number of plays come off where quick action is required, for most of them the players have an objective point, and in most of the double plays second base is one of the stations for which the runners are trying. Humor, constant practice means of circumnavigation, tag. The light, speedy men have all kinds of ways of going into a bag, without exposing the ball to the risk of the probability of being tagged. These men can do as much by wriggling and dodging as the more reckless runners can achieve by smashing right into the machine. These runners have sudden movements that are very deceptive. Often only an arm or leg is exposed, and by a sudden swerve even this poor surface will be able to let the runner reach the bag in safety. It is not possible to do away with spikes. The ball player must have them both to field his position and when he is ready to throw the ball, the runner. Therefore, a premium is put on courage for the equipment of the infielder, and the nerve must be supplemented with good judgment and a mastery of every trick of the game. IDLENESS IGNORLE We call attention to the fact that lots of our boys are out of school, many are here from school, and the majority of our students are not friends. Our friends ought to get them into some kind of work, however high or humble. We must be missionaries and look after our students. We must help our friends, tell them our boy wants work to return to school, and what you expect of him, and if you show the man you are, that will help you help him. If directly, indirectly, all kinds is noble, but all kinds of idleness is noble. That will apply to our girls also. Let the students come between the young students, see what wonderful results will happen. It must be justly said we may recommend the wrong one; suppose you do: only be more careful next time. Our students will interest is shown in them, they will respond with like interest, and vice versa. We will await the outcome of this year's results with great expectancy.—The Statesman GOOD HEALTH IN HOT WEATHER Most people in the towns and cities of New York and New Jersey live for several months with dread and apprehension. Hot streets, hot days, oppressive nights, and scorching temperatures are pictured in the mind as the usual concomitants of the summer months in this climate. The matter of fact, there is no reason why anyone should townships fear the summer. To be sure, of health are disregarded, and if a person tries to live in the summer as he would in the winter, there is grave danger of sickness, physical discomfort. But, on the other hand, the common-use principles, rigorously followed will ensure that man a comfortable and healthy summer, no matter how hot the weather may be. The first essential for good health in summer is precaution against overcrowding. No man should walk during the hot hours of a summer's day any more than is necessary. He should not indulge in sports or games when the sun is hot, and he should not be much as possible. Walking in the broiling sun without one's hat is as dangerous as it is senseless and useless. Careful diet is also very necessary for summer comfort. Vegetables and fruits are important and nourishing, if taken in moderation, and fruits should not be eaten in large quantities. The prudent man will avoid over-eating in the summer, and will take care to prevent diarrhea, while keeping his bowels Cool, non-alcoholic drinks are sometimes helpful, but they should always be used most moderately—Staunton Reporter.
