Eighth street Cortes Secretary PROPOSED UNION CONG The Union Congregational church to be erected at the corner to Tenth and Park streets, Des Moines, Iowa. The plans were secured through C. C. Cross and Son, the leading architects in Des Moines. The building committee, headed by Rev. H. W. Porter, who is a mechanic and builder, has put forth every effort to give to the people a handsome brick structure trimmed with stone and with ample accommodations for all the convenience of church life. The seating capacity of the auditorium will be three hundred and the gallery 125. Other rooms on the main floor, lecture room, Sunday school rooms, pastor's study and reading room. In the inasement will be the kitchen and dining hall. This church was organized December the 18th, 1904, with a membership of thirty, and since July the first the membership has increased to sixty. The men's league is one of the most interesting features of the work, with a membership of strong men fifty in number, who meet every Sunday afternoon to talk about themselves and their needs and how they can best obtain them. Addresses have been delivered to the League by Judge W. H. McHenry, Rev. J. W. Day, Judge C. C. Cole of Drake university, Mr. J. G. Olmstead, Dr. Gresham H. Hill. Geo. H. Lewis and other leading citizens. Our Sunday school, under the efficient leadership of J. L. Thompson and his active corps of teachers, have an enrollment of fifty. The Ladies' Missionary society and the Athenian Literary society, auxiliaries to the church, are actively engaged in everything possible to aid the work of building a mankind in small house where we have worshiped for the past sixteen months have have been inadequate for some time, but the congregation knowing its financial strength had not seriously thought of building until it was clearly seen that the very life of the church depended upon it. It is a work of faith. Where all the money is coming from is not known, but the people are going forth trusting in God and are determined to give every dollar they can, and the generous public who believe in a good work have and will aid us in the work for God and humanity. Every department of our work is increasing in interest and in numbers and the erection of our building will only enable us to continue the work so well begun. Our endeavor is to help every man, woman and child of the Negro race to think and to act well their part in the arena of life. The church membership is made up of industrious men and women and the pastor leads both by example and precept. The pastor, Rev. H. W. Porter, is a product of the Talladega college, one of the institutions, where the head, hand and heart of the man is trained for the duties of life. Rev. Porter will lay the first brick in the foundation, of the First Congregational church in the west for colored people, and has assured the people that they will have the building if he must lay every brick in the building and do much of the other work, and he has been assured that he will have sufficient help from those who can carry the brick to him as they have stood by him thus far in his work as pastor, we believe in finding a way or making one Our purpose first of all is to glorify God by holy lives and by devotion to the interest to his kingdom. Below is a few testimonials. Rev. A. L. Frisbie: "The Union Congregational church in this city is a worthy organization, much needed here, truly Congregational and working bravely to secure building and become permanently established. Mr. Porter, the pastor, is a gentleman of intelligence and high character. He is much esteemed for his work's sake and is piloting the young enterprise well." --- Judge C. C. Cole: "I have visited the Union Congregational church, an organization for the colored people of D. S. Moines. The work is well organized under the leadership of the Rev. H. W. Porter, and is doing much to help the people. It is a worthy cause, and well deserves recognition and assistance." Judge Wm. H. McHenry: "The Union Congregational church for the colored people of D. S. Moines is doing a good work for the uplifting of the race—it is a worthy cause. I have spoken to the Men's league, (an auxiliary to the church), and the GREGATIONAL CHURCH. work is worthy of recognition and assistance." J. G. Olmsted; "I have visited the Union Congregational church, and organization for the colored people of Des Moines. It is doing a good work under the leadership of Rev. H. W. Porter, and it is worthy of the support of the citizens of Des Moines." Frank W.

Wilkes of Boston, Mass., to John J. Christian, the skater. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. J. T. Jackson or the Buxton A. M. E. church. Promptly at 7:30 o'clock Miss Jeffers sent the guests thrilling with the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and the groom, escorted by Miss Henrietta Jones of Albia, Iowa, followed by the bride, escorted by Mr. K. J. Hamilton of Des Moines, marched through the beautiful decorations into the parlor, before the Rev. Jackson, who united them in holy wedlock. Then came the hearty and sincere congratulations of the guests assembled. The bride wore a beautiful gown of silk volle trimmed in crepe de chine, with hat to match. She carried a very pretty bonnet of Bride's roses. At S o'clock, the hour for the reception, monguests began to arrive, and from then on the house was crowded with the jolly friends of Mr. and Mrs. Christion. After partaking of an elegant three-course luncheon the guests began to depart, vowing that a more beautiful bride or more amible groom than our new Mr. and Mrs. Christian could ever exist, nor a better hostess than Mrs. Gaines, assisted by her daughter and family, could ever be found.

EASTER THOUGHTS. For the past few weeks the Christian world has been turning their thoughts to the approach of Easter Sunday. Preparation, both religious and irreligious, for the celebration of the resurrection of our Holy Savior. The irreligious preparation are those who have spent their time and money to make an outward show to the public, new bonets, new dresses, new shoes, new gloves, etc., not to glorify their Heavenly Father but to edify their carthly idol gods. It does seem to me sometimes in this busy age that the world has gone wild over fashion, style and soapy three-ringed shoes, and truths—our duty to God, our duty to suffering humanity, our duty to self. Let us not lock on Easter as a day of new clothes, like the proverbial peafowl, but a day of praise, of thanks and rejoicing for the triumph of victory over death. Let us wash afresh in the blood of our Savior that we may all live better lives on this mundane shore. RIP VAN WINKLE NEARING THE END. Joseph Jefferson, better known as Rip Van Winkle, the veteran southern actor and novelist, is nearing his final sleep at West Palm Beach, Florida. This actor has been a great man in his class and has left to the thoughtful world imperishable memory. He has made the world laugh and cry by his interesting and instructive stories, has done some good for the admittance of mankind and lived to a ripe old age, and has many friends now hope that he may live a while longer to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

He was an active member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias Lodges, also a member of the higher branches of the lodges.

The late Charles Hackley, lumberman and philanthropist, of Muskegon, Mich., began life there a poor boy, and left a fortune of $15,000,000.

Broadland, S. Dak, April 17—Quite a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray, who after a special treatment for three months was prostrate and helpless and given up to die with Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has always been considered incurable, but evidently from the story told by Mr. Gray, there is a remedy which will advance stages. This is what he says: "I was helpless as a little babe. My wife and I searched everything and read what we could find about Bright's Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife insisted that I should try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I praised God for the day when I decided to do so, for this remedy met every phase of my case and in a short time I was able to treat my weeks' treatment I was a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life." A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world. A woman does a lot of thinking trying to figure out whether the baby is going to be a great man or a good man.

Greenland has fewer than 12,000 inhabitants, and those who have been there wonder why she has so many. An eastern fashion journal says women are wearing larger shoes.

Fears Consequences Over Struggle Between Togo and Rojestensky. NOT SURE TOGO WILL WIN Attitude of Russian Admiral and His Big Fleet of Fighting Vessels is Such as to Cause Great Anxiety On Part of Japanese. London, April 20.—The British public is only now beginning to realize how much depends on Togo's skillful conduct of the approaching naval contest. Until Vice Admiral Robestvensky actually entered in the straits of Malacca there was a disposition to ridicule the power of the Russian squadron, but now that there is seen to be a growing likelihood of Vice Admiral Nebegatof joining Robestvensky before the fateful struggle opens lukewarm interest in deepening into anxiety. According to the Tokyo correspondent of a news agency, a momentous war conference, lasting five days, was held there on Wednesday attended by the elder statesmen, the premier and statesmen. A Tokio correspondent states that Japan has addressed a protest on France to the Russian Pacific squadron's presence in Kamchatka but, instead, the Japanese have responded. The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Tokio declares that a Japanese fleet is ready to sail for Kamranh bay. The Daily Telegraph's Hong Kong correspondent states that two stealth aircraft are flying over Kamranh bay on Sunday, report that no Russian vessels were then visible. No news, however, has yet reached London to show that the Russians have left Kamranh bay and it is assumed that they are still there. The news commenting on the situation contends that it is a matter of urgent importance especially considering Great Britain's world wide naval interests, to endeavor to secure a more definite international agreement on the question of neutral waters by belligerants. Harlin, April 20.—There was a determined attempt on the night of April 17 to cut the railroad between Harlin and Vladivostok, a formidable body of Chinese bandits making an assault on a station of 100 miles east of Harlin. After a desperate fight which lasted several hours the bandits were driven off and dispersed. Many smaller companies of Chinese bands are retreating in the rear of the Russian army, but disappear when pursued. It is thought probable that they are Mamchurians, who scatter to their villages when they find themselves in danger. There are various reports of wide movements of Sisilian or curent troops of the army, but as yet these rumors are apparently unfounded. The vigor of the skirmishes taking place on the east flank of the Russian army, however, seems to indicate that the Japanese are planning to thrust northwestward and intercept the battle between Harlin and Vladivostok. RUSSIAN FLEET IS SIGHTED Paris, April 18.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Echo de Paris states that Vice Lautal Ropesvensky with a portion of his squadron has been sighted off Hong Kong, sailing northeast. This is not confirmed from other sources. London, April.—A special dispatch from Hong Kong says that a portion of the Russian squadron was seen Sunday at Tarian bay, about 360 miles north of Kamchatka bay. Turan bay is between latitude 16 and latitude 17 north. According to advises from Hailong to a Paris newspaper, forty Russian vessels were reeled in that latitude, steaming north. KALIEIEE WILL HANG. Slayer of Grand Duke Sergius Will Go To Gallows. Moscow, April 21—Ivan Kaleclie, who killed Grand Duke Sergeius and was sentenced to death, will be hanged next week. His brother is a member of a guard regiment stationed in St. Petersburg. His mother was killed in a car accident. She married beneath her station a Russian police servant of war, now deceased. Moscow, April 18—Kaleclie, the man who killed Grand Duke Sergeius, was condemned to death by the supreme court today. The trial was brief, consuming but an hour or so, and the jury found him guilty to the trial. The prisoner refused to plead, declaring that he was not in the position of a criminal before judgments, but was a prisoner taken in the civil war. Decision of Vast Importance.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS QBSTNATE MUSCULAR RHUMISMAT. Mr. Jones Fella of the Way by Which He Treated Himself Successfully When Doctors Failed. Six physicians, all of them good, one of them a specialist, had done their best for Mr. Jones at different times during three years, and still he suffered fear from a tumor that had been dormant in his system was suddenly brought to an acute stage by exposure while he was drawing ice in February, 1901. From that time on for a period of more than three years he was a constant sufferer. He tried many kinds of treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't budge. When regular doctors failed, and he was treated with unsuccessful, many said: "I should think he would give it up and save his money." Of his condition at this time, Mr. Jones says: "My rheumatism started in my right thigh, but in time it appeared in every muscle of my body. I lost the use of my left arm entirely and nearly lost the use of my right one. My feet were badly affected, and my right side was affected there was swelling, but the left side didn't swell when the disease settled there. The internal organs didn't seem to be involved at all. The trouble was all in the muscles and the nerves." Among the few who still encouraged Mr. Jones to think that a cure might be found a friend who had reason for great confidence in acting on her advice he bought a box of them in September, 1904. The story of what followed is brief, but nothing could be more satisfactory. "When I was on the third box," says Mr. Jones, "I could realize a change for the better. I felt sure that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were the right medicine for my case. I kept on wifen for several months longer and now I seem very well, and everybody is asking what I took." Mr. William Jones lives at Oxford, Mich. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills effect wonderful cures in rheumatism, because they work directly on the blood which is the seat of the disease. They are sold by every druggist. Advice that coincides with your own opinion is easily swallowed. Important to Mothers.

One of the agricultural freaks to be seen in Lancaster county, Pa., is a hen with a wooden leg. The fowl is the property of Daniel Brubaker, a farmer living near Rhees. The chicken lost a leg by an accident, and a humane member of the family fitted with a wooden appendage as near like an animal as possible. The hen is said to strut around without any difficulty. Blacksmiths are carefully taught and trained in Germany. As a result, some of the best blacksmiths in the world are Germans. In that country there are seven schools devoted to the training of these mechanics—in Burgstadt, Grossenhain, Frankenberg, Bremen, Zittan, and Zittan. The course of instruction in three of the schools lasts three years; in three of the others it is shorter. The Apple Consumers' League is rapidly increasing in numbers, and already has members in most of the schools. The teacher is to eat daily, during the apple season, two apples, raw or cooked; to have the fruit on his table every day, to ask for it in some form whenever he eats a meal in a public hotel or restaurant, and if it is not on the bill he must purchase the landlord that it is to pay to provide it to provide it. HONEST CONFESSION. A Doctor's Talk on Food. There are no fairer set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an eminent practitioner, of the good old school, who lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished tale needs dressing up; I had always had an intense prejudice which I can now see was unwarrantable and unreasonable, against all much advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the many 'ads' of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till winter. "While in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the rudest, healthiest little boys I ever saw. I ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for support in my pregnancy. I became exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, refreshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill effects whatever, causing no eructions (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress of food, leaving no ill effects whatever. "There is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stomach as this does. I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have for 10 years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and indigestion." Name given by Postum Clementius. There's a reason.

Their nationality is unknown. Manila, April 19.—Two unknown steamers have anchored in Lingayan bay, Island of Luzon, about 120 miles north of Manila bay. Admiral Train, in command of the United States naval forces here, has ordered the United States gunboat Ouites to Lingayan bay. London, April 15. The latest news from the far east shows that certainly a portion of the Russian second Pacific squadron was still coaling at Kamaranh bay Saturday morning, April 15. This news was brought to Singapore by the British steamer Sui Sang and to Hong Kong by the French steamer Phun Yen. The former merely reports passing the Russian ships at 11 o'clock in the morning. The Phun Yen saw twenty vessels coaling in the bay and it is supposed that they were inside the harbor. According to the Daily Maff's correspondent at Singapore, the Sui Sang, which was not molested by the Russians, sighted a big French warship two hours later, fourteen miles to the south, immediately proceeding to Kamaranh bay. London, April 19.—Japanese diplomats and others in London regard the alleged breaches of neutrality by France in allowing the Russian second Pacific squadron to remain over one of the most serious developments in the situation. Minister Hayashi and Earon Suyematsu, former Japanese minister of the Interior, were both seen by The Associated Press to give a harsh response to or to anticipate official advices giving the facts as to the period of Russian ships may stay in French waters. Minister Hayashi was particularly resentful and said he preferred to await confirmation of the reports which indicate he would indicate a serious breach of neutrality. Baron Suyematsu, who took a view that was very far from being alarming, said that if reports were true Japan would have good cause to compel Japan, however, had no intention to compel France, and added: "Japan is far from covering Cochin-China as has been imputed in some quarters. I do not think that France is encouraging the Russian squadron to missile attacks on the country. I believe that France is really lous to avoid trouble on account of the Pacific squadron. In fact I think responsible Frenchmen regard the squadron as an unwelcome guest, and therefore I am fully convinced that France will manage the matter in any way as to avoid being compromised." JAPAN ABOUSED Claim Is Made That Neutrality Laws Are Being Violated. Tokio, April 19—Discussing the presence of vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron at Kamarh bay, on the east coast of French Indo-China, the Jiji Shimpo, declares that the use of the island of Madagascar, by the Russian squadron was a direct and prolonged violation of the principle of neutrality but on account of the distance Japan in that instance simply loaded a proton. The paper, by the Russian squadron, uses Kamarh bay as a base for action against her opponent and says she intends to use it as the point for affecting a function with the remaining division of the squadron. The paper, by the Russian squadron, "Japan must regard its neutrality as completely ignored and Japan will not be obliged to respect its neutrality. Violations of neutrality in distant ports are not important, but when close to the zone of war it is impeded to view them with the same lenency." The Jiji Shimpo further declares that France is lending the Russians efficient assistance, thus naturally joining issue with Russia against Japan and that it is now necessary for Japan to notify Great Britain and obtain her co-operation according to the terms of the treaty. "Protests," the paper says, "are unavailing. The time for action has come." TOGO'S CAUTIOUS TACTICS. WILL Not Risk an Attack Wilth His Entire Fleet. London, April 20—Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, expressed the opinion to the Associated Press yesterday that Admiral Togo would not give battle to Admiral Rojestvensky with his entire squadron, but would continue the cautious tactics which characterized the battle against big jigs. The enemy, not because he feared defeat, but owing his desire to inflict the greatest amount of damage on the Russians with the least loss to himself. While confident of his ability to accomplish the total destruction of the Russian squadron in a big battle there is the danger of Togo losing one or two of its big jigs. The enemy on Hayashi believes Togo will employ his torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers, which number more than 100, and are vastly superior to the Russian torpedo boat fodilla, in harassing the Russians, while gradually picking off the Russian warships. He said the coasts of Japan, Korea and China would be the main work with torpedo boats while the narrow channel will make the maneuvers of large warships difficult and dangerous. Joseph McCaulley, of 144 Bhoote lodge, says, "Two years ago my lodge, says, "Two years ago my health was completely broken down. My back ached and was so lame that at times I was hardy able to dress myself. I lost my hair and was unable to sleep. There seemed to be no relief until I took Doca's Kid- pletely broken down.

Canada's inrush this year is wonderfully great and considerably ahead of any previous year. It is always interesting to those who contemplate moving to read expressions of opinions and to understand why it is therefore our pleasure to reproduce the following, written to an Agent of the Government and forwarded to the Immigration Branch of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa. Birch Hills, Sask., Canada, Feb. 1, 1984 *Dear Sir: I take pleasure in dropping you a few lines to let you know how we are getting along up here and how we like the place. We have been here close on to a year now and think the place is fine. We have been out working in the bush getting out logs for building etc., getting rails for fencing. We have not suffered with the cold as much as we did in Chicago. My little boys are out every day with their sleighs having a good time. The lowest the temperature has been this winter is 34 below, and it is very still, no wind. We had a splendid summer. We put up about 50 tons of hay and will have about 30 tons to sell. Hay brings $8 per ton now and will be higher in the spring. We have 20 acres broke and ready for crop. We worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. for this summer and am just 1 mile from the R. Ry. and town site. The steel is all laid out miles of the river and we often see the train bringing supplies for the Bridge. My wife's people are coming up about May. I wish you would write them and if there should be any one coming to Prince Albert that could do with a half a car let them know. The homesteads are all taken up within 12 miles of us. I often think if this land were only in the States what a rush there would be. It is the richest land and most productive I ever saw. I know that people back there that I write to do not believe me when I write them what a splendid winter we are having. They think we are all frozen up. We have only about 8 inches of snow, and there are cattle on the range that have not been rounded up this winter. Day after day the Ther, raises up to 50 and 60, and I don't believe we have had a day this winter that it stayed at zero My wife says that we used to think that zero was cold in Chicago. But don't mind it one bit. Christmas and I drove 5 miles with the 3 little boys and be low, and there was not a whimper from any one of them; I'd hate to do it in old Chicago. Well, I guess I will close, and you can tell any one in the U. S. that they cannot do better than come to the Prince Albert District. I remain "Why should we give so much attention to military science and naval equipment?" said the benevolent man; "war is, at best, a terrible thing." "Yes," answered the practical citizen, "but when it comes to a question of conquering or being conquered, it doesn't take me a minute to make my choice of two evils."—Washington Star Arrive.....

TOGO KEEPS IN BACKGROUND Rumored Russian Fleet Has Passed Formosa Straits. FROM CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE Other Reports Place Squadron Still in Kamran Bay — Japan Presents Statement to French Government and Receives Satisfactory Reply. St. Petersburg, April 21.—A telegram from the seat of war in Manchuria states that the Japanese armies are advancing northward, prosed by cavalry. April 21.—(2:15 a.m.) The ministry of finance has received a telegram from a confidential agent at Shanghai giving a rumor that Vice Admiral Rejestvensky has already passed the straits of Formosa and encountered Vice Admiral Togo. Saigon, French Cochin-China, April 21.—Admiral Rejestvensky's fleet is still in Kamran Bay. The French admiral, Jonquieres, has taken every step to insure neutrality. Paris, April 21.—Considerable conflict exists between the press and official advises concerning the whereabouts of the Russian squadron, but that the squadron has been outside of French waters since last Sunday. Its present whereabouts is not known, but if the squadron is in or near the Kamran bay the government is assured that it is outside French territorial limits. Paris, April 21.—Acting upon instructions from his government, Dr. Motone, the Japanese minister to France, called on Foreign Minister Mitsui to present representations on behalf of Japan concerning the presence of the Russian Pacific squadron in Kamran bay. An official communication issued after the meeting states that Minister Motone's action had not the character of a violation of neutrality, but was to obtain assurances that France would observe strict neutrality. Notwithstanding the official version, it is evident that the intention of the French action is in the nature of a protest. Foreign Minister Delacorte responded to the representations of the Japanese minister by pitting out the precautions heretofore taken to preserve neutrality and the special instructions recently sent to the governor general of Indo-China arsenic poisoning unit, Mr. Delacorte's assurances sought to ally the approvements of Japan, which he maintained had not been justified by any specific facts. The exact terms of Japan's representations have not been disclosed, but it is understood that, while having the usual courteous form of diplomacy, they set forth that serious apprehensions had been aroused by the Japanese invasion in Kashmir bay and the urgent desire was expressed that French neutrality be placed beyond doubt. St. Petersburg, April 21.—It is claimed here that Admiral Roberstovsky has not overstepped the French rules of neutrality at Kramanh bay, the coaling and provisioning of his ships occurring outside territorial waters. Russia has not been accused of assisting to Paris. The charges of Russia's violation of neutrality, coupled with the revival of the story that Russia intends to send her Black Sea fleet through the Dardanelles and the report that the British Mediterranean fleet has been sent to the Aegean sea to head off the Russian fleet, cause extreme interest in the students of 21.—The students of the Conservatory of Music, who as announced April 1, were arrested and sentenced to a month's imprisonment for connection with the agitation in favor of Rlmsky Korsasoff (who was removed from his professorship in the conservatory because of his attitude towards the striking students), have been released to live in St. Petersburg while pursuing their studies, being ordered to leave the city forthwith. Governor General Troepoff is taking the most energetic measures to prevent trouble on May day, having discovered that the workmen's leaders are advising all the men to arm themselves, in order to be prepared to resist the troops. The police have a duty to arrest the most active officers, who will be arrested and transported to villages. About forty of the men were taken into custody last night. The Moscow Gazette suggests that the only way to restore order is to divide the empire into districts, each under the supervision of an energetic personage armed with dictatorial power. A number of deputies will be cited shortly for less denial under the new code for public denouncing the emperor and the exile regime. WANTS TRIAL BY GERMANS Johann Hoch, Alleged Blue-Beard, Has Preference. Chicago, April 22—Johann Hoch, on trial for the murder of one of his wives, Mary Walcker-Hoch, expressed a desire today for German jurors to try him. The confessed bigamist already had secured a change of venue to get before the jury. Hoch professes to believe that he will succeed in getting his liberty. Hoch's contends contends that the new indictment voted against Hoch is invalid. The indictment was voted on the request of Assistant State's Attorney Olson because the name of Mrs. Mary Walcker-Hoch was misplaced in the first indictment. Hoch juried some months ago. The present grand jury heard no witnesses against Hoch. it is contended, and therefore was unable to vote a valid true till against him. When the hearing was resumed yesterday counsel for Hoch made a motion to quash indictments against Hoch. The motion was overruled by Judge Ann Examination of von Hoch then began. Hoch appeared in court calm and smiling. BODY OF PAUL JONES IS FOUND Search of Ambassador Porter in Paris Successful. IN OLD ST. LOUIS CEMETERY Is Identified By Highest French Medical Expert—Probable that United States Will Send a Naval Squadron After the Remains. Paris, April 15.—The remarkable search which Ambassador Porter has conducted for the body of Paul Jones has been crowned with success by the discovery of the body and its identification yesterday by the highest French medical expert as unquestionably that of the famous American admiral who founded the American navy. Ambassador Porter cabled to Washington last night announcing the successful results of his long and difficult search. The body is in a good state of preservation, considering that the interment took place over a hundred years ago. The circumstances leading to the final discovery of the body are particularly interesting. General Porter has conducted the search for the last five years. A large force of workmen has been engaged night and day tunnelling and cross-tunnelling the old St. Louis cemetery. This constituted a huge operation. This encompassed nearly a cover with buildings requiring a system of subterranean mining. Hundreds of wooden caskets were found but not until Wednesday were uncarcled the four leaden caskets which gave promise of containing the body of the admiral. Three of them bore plates designating the names of the deceased. The four others, superior solidity of workmanship, were found on this casket and it is supposed it was removed when another coffin was super-imposed on it. The leaden coffin was opened in the presence of General Porter, Colonel Bally-Blanchard, the second secretary of the American embassy, and Engineer Wets, who has been directing the exections. The body was found in the well protruding from the being immersed in alcohol. It was wrapped in a sheet with a packing of straw and hay. Those present were immediately struck by the resemblance of the head to that on the metallicions and busts of the admiral. Was an autolipid, no uniform, decoration or sword were found, as all such articles had been accounted for after the burial. TOGO WAITING OFF NAGASAKI. Opinion of Captain Yepantchine, a Russian Naval Attache. Paris, April 20—The Russian naval attacke here, Captain Yepantchine, in an interview, says he believes the strategic situation will lead Admiral Togo to naval妥援 Jostenskyst off Nagasaki Japan, where Togo will have a base to repair and maintain Yepantchine gads, is important, owing to the Japanese not having reserve vessels. The captain further says that Togo's strength represents seven battleships, against Jostenskyst's five. The gun power of the squadrons, he asserts, is practical, and the discounted for use at the siege of Port Arthur, have been replaced by new guns of English and American make. Captain Yepantchine also declares that Jostenskyst's lengthy voyage and daring entrance into the waters of the Japanese constitutes an argument without historical precedent. ENGLAND ENTERS DENIAL Did Not Tell Japanese Government of Sighting of Russian Fleet London, April 21.—Foreign Secretary Landowshe has taken occasion formally to deny to the Russian government the statement of the Novovce Vremya in regard to the British cruiser Ijihigenia which vessel the newspaper said had transmitted by wireless to the Russian fleet and had pressed Admiral Robotovetsky's squadron 140 miles from Salign. This, the Novovce Vremya declared was very important news to the Japanese longsmuch as Robotovetsky had succeeded in slipping by the Japanese seals. The British office contained the specific statement that the Ijihigenia did not even sight the Russian squadron. Indict Former Postmaster St. Louis, April 21—After an investigation understated at the wish of President Roseveil, M. L. Reddock, former postmaster at Yasoo City, Miss, has been indicted by the federal grand jury here on a perjury charge.

The largest bequest evev made by a colored person to Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., was recorded in New York City last week, when the will of Mary E. Shaw of Philadelphia was probated. It bequeathed $38,000 to the institute, of which Booker T. Washington is president. James Hayes, a colored lawyer of Richmond, Va., has been selected for the post of consul at Guadaloupe, French West Indies. Now that Professor Greener has been retired as consul at Vladivostok, Mr. Hays will enjoy the distinction of being the only Negro consul in the service. Within the next year a self governing Negro colony will be started near La Junta, Colo. Only one hundred people will permitted to begin, but as the colony progresses more will be added. The 10,000 acres will be divided into farms of 80 acres each and those who are able to pay $200 or $300 for the land will be among the first. Ten students of the Topeka Industrial Institute will supervise the laying out of the land, etc. Mr. Joshua Parker, who died recently at Dover, Deleware, placed before the race a worthy example. He was the wealthiest Negro in lower Deleware, being worth at least $10,000. His estate is willed to the Deleware State College for colored students, with the proviso that his heir is to have certain benefits during her lifetime. In giving his wealth for the upliftment of the race. Mr. Parker emphasized the privilege our men and women of wealth have for helping in the development of the race. Many of our people, for lack of a little forethought, permit much hard-earned money to pass from the race. There is a sort of skepticism as to making of wills among our people, and the preachers should seek to correct this tendency from the pulpit and in private conversation.
