Current Opinion with Editorial Comment. POTTER HONORS COLORED MAN. Richmond, Va, Oct., 19.—Bishop and Mrs. Potter of New York, who have leased a residence here during the general convention of the American Episcopal church, last evening entertained at dinner Bishop Ferguson of Africa, the only negro entitled to a seat in the house of bishops convention. The dinner given in honor of the African bishop in the heart the south, has been the occasion of considerable comment among those who dave heard of it. This act alone commend the depth and bredth of of a real true christian man. It shows the lofty spirit of real manhood. Like President Roosevelt he simply had the opportunity and then had the moral courage to do his full duty without fear. We hope and pray that Bishop Potter's act will inspire other weak christians to stand up and do the manly and right thing. AGED NEGROES HOME Gives Up Her Little Home To Provide a Hotel and Refuge for Her Race. That the homeless of her race might have a haven in Des Moines which they may call their own, Mrs. John Miller, colored, 837 Seventh street, will open the old Childs home on Seventh street as a home for worn out and aged negro actors and a hotel for the traveling negro public. Mrs. Miller, through sympathy for her race and realizing the hardships that are endured by her race without homes, will sacrifice her little home and its comforts that has been hers for years that she might do this much for her own people: Mrs. Miller is essentially a home loving woman. The tiny cottage on Twelfth street, vined covered with masses of flower beds in the yard, is the work of years and the result of careful hoarding from her small wages earned at the washtub. This hotel and home has just been opened and again shows the real philanthropic spirit among the our race if we only had the wealth. Color Line in Real Estate. Whitie citizenns of the District of Columbia have combined to secure a legal interpretation of their right to draw the color line under written agreements relating to real estate transfers an attorney has been employed and a test case will be fought through the courts. Whenever a new addition to the city of Washington has been placed on the market the written pledge has been made that negro residents shall not be permitted to make purchase. In each of the transfers it is covenanted that the purchaser shall not sell or rent to a negro. But buyers have not hesitated to sell when the price satisfied them. It has been taken for granted that a sale having once been made to a negro and the title transferred to him, any effort to dispossess him because of agreements not to sell would be futile. Moreover, it has always been covenanted that the Fourteenth constitutional amendment would render abortive any attempt to prevent a transfer of property to a negro where the two parties at interest were willing to make the deal. The particular case in issue involves the sale of a piece of property in Bloomingdale addition to Francis Smith, a civil engineer and a negro. Among others who have contributed money to fight the case through the courts is Samuel Gompers, president of the federation of labor, whose home is in Bloomingdale. It no doubt must be excruciating to the colored advocate of labor organization when the very president and head of labor organization, will lower that high standard of justice and equal opportunity for all humanity, and put his money up to fight the poor laboring man who seeks better life and home surroundings, simply because he is colored, does not deserve the support of any honest, decent laboring man. No organization cat or ought to succeed who will draw the color line.—Editor. HON. JOHN L. WALLER DEAD It is with a degree of sadness that we announce the death of Hon. John L. Waller, formerly of this state but now of Kansas, He died Sunday Oct. 13, in Yorkshore, N. Y.

He was appointed as minister to Madagascar by Benjamine Harrison. A COLORED MUSICIAN. It has been said, and perhaps truly so, that the colored race is naturally musical. This fact is strongly emphasized in the person of Lee E. Greenway of Muscatine, Iowa, who is sure to become one of our great Musicians. He is celloist and has organized the largest orchestra in Muscatine, in fact the only first class one in that part of Iowa. He is the only colored boy in it. The Muscatine Daily Journal published a very nice story about the organization and spoke very highly about Mr. Greenway. It will be remembered that Mr. Greenway spent last winter here taking a special course under Prof. Nagle. We are proud to learn of his success as he merits it. Washington Notes.

The beauty show for men at the Victoria pier, Polkestone, continues to be the chief subject of conversation in the town and its vicinity, says the London Mall. There are many aspirants and many inquiries, but with the execution of a courageous few the would-be exhibits hesitate to face a great audience even for five minutes. Councillor Forsyth, who is responsible for the show, has decided that only facial beauty can be considered in the matter of awarding prizes. In view of this, he has arranged for a huge gift frame draped with black velvet to be erected. In an opening in this frame only the head and face will be allowed to appear. Councillor Forsyth, in answer to inquiries by the Daily Mail, wishes it to be widely known that, with the full approval of his colleagues, he has decided to make the competition or en to all England. The judging will be by the audiences, and the scrutiny of votes by women. Several local "beauties," in order to gain chest measurement, are training with dumbbells. Others are giving over flesh for a fruit diet, and many are taking a course of Turkish and other baths in order to get into form. The greatest obstacle to many is the lack of moral courage to face an audience. Cost of Milk. The president of a New York dairy concern gives the following itemized statement of the cost of milk: "We have been paying the farmers three and one-half to four cents for milk and after the first of October will have to pay four to four and one quarter. It costs a cent a bottle freight to bring it from the farm to the city. It costs half a cent a bottle for cleaning, filling and iceing. It costs another three-eighths of a cent a bottle to haul it from the depot to the wholesale house. That means that it costs practically six and one-quarter cents a bottle to put the milk in the delivery wagon. Out of the balance we have to pay drivers, inspectors and bear other expenses. There is really little or no money in the milk bushes." He might have added the cost of bottles that customers fall to return and flatly refuse to pay for—an item by no means small. The wonder is to people who read such a hard luck tale as this—and producers and dealers of almost any variety of farm product that can be named to put up a story to match it—that all agricultural pursuits are not abandoned. Somehow or other, though, they go on with everybody concerned showing signs of prosperity. Queer, isn't it? The director of the Trans-Caucasian railway, Col. Neijebauer, has issued the following curious order: "In the course of six months of the current year 30 officials of the Trans-Caucasian star line have perished by violent deaths. Ten among them were of the highest ranks in the service and 20 in the lower ranks. Although it has now become customary to ascribe these appalling murders to revolutionary organization, there are grounds for suspecting a majority have been caused by a desire to see situations vacant. In order that such villainous proceedings may bring no profit to their authors, I have found it necessary to order that all vacancies on the line which have resulted from officials having suffered violent death shall not be filled by candidates from among local officials, but by persons transferred from the railways in European Russia. I give this notice as a guide to future action."

On most ocean boats there is an abundance of warm water in the bath rooms, and the daily salt bath is a great tonic, but beware of getting too hot. It will turn you faint if you do, even if you are accustomed to an equally high temperature in fresh water at home. It is a lot better to be a model husband and got the dinner when wife is at her club than to be a shocking example of the other kind of husband who shows up in the divorce court and has a weakness for throwing dinner plates at his life partner. Sir Thomas will have to do better than a 65-foot boat if he wants to do any America's cup racing. It is probable, however, he could be accommodated on a proposition to race gaso lene launches for a purse.

New York. — There was a sharp turn of sentiment in financial quarters late Wednesday, renewed confidence in local banking institutions taking the place of the panicky feeling that has threatened solvent houses and demoralized the stock exchange for the past few days. Those financiers whose dubious opinions are most highly esteemed by the public expressly convinced the conviction Wednesday that the worst was over and that out of the present chaos a condition more stable than has for some time existed was rapidly shaping itself. Rockefeller Will Help Banks. Rockefeller Will Help Bank John D. Rockefeller has taken an active interest in the pressured financial situation and has been added to loanary and a number of the financial institutions. "I think," said Mr. Rockefeller to a representative of the press Wednesday evening, "that the existing alarm among investors is not warranted, and I hope the good common sense of American people will control the situation. Personally, I have absolute faith in the future of the values of our securities and the soundness of underlying conditions. "Instead of withdrawing any of my moneys from the banks, I am cooperating with others in helping to meet that which I firmly believe to be only a temporary crisis, now having the good of his country at heart should, I have deed, lend a hand to reestablish confidence, and I propose to do my part to the full extent of my resources."

Pierpoint Morgan, James Stillman, and a number of the most influential financial interests in the city, cooperated in an effort to bring order out of the chaotic condition into which the financial community had fallen. The committee was formed to protect trust companies and unlim- ited assistance promised to the Trust company of America, which during the day withstood a $12,000,000 run. After a thorough canvass of the situation Secretary Cortelyou pledged government assistance to the extent of $25,000,000 run. Withstands a Long Run. Withstands a long. Another potent factor in bringing about the undoubted return of saner sentiment and improved confidence, was the ability of the Trust Company of America to withstand an all-day run, as it successfully did. In the face of enormous withdrawals, the officials of the bank proclaimed their readiness to settle with all depositors on demand. Even for a few minutes after the regular hour of closing the bank, it was at its main office in Wall street and at the Broadway branch and certificate all checks presented. Then it was announced that the institution would be open as usual at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning prepared for eventualities. So marked was the strength of the bank that many who withdrew deposits early in the day again deposited them before the doors were closed. The bank as last reported were in excess of $70,000,000. Several million were withdrawn, but funds to satisfy every claim were said to be at hand. Clearing House Report Good. The clearing house report was also favorable Wednesday. Apparently the national banks have passed the crisis and those which have required assistance gave evidence of being able to take care of themselves. The failure of the Knickerbocker Trust company, which suspended Tuesday, to recoup what it persevered such an adverse influence on the general situation as might have been expected, and the early action of Acting Superintendent of Banks Skinner in taking possession of the institution on the advice of the attorney general gave rise to a feeling of relief. The announcement at Albany of the appointment by Gov. Hughes of Clark Williams, of this city, as state superintendent of banks, was received with the governor. Acting Superintendent Skinner had been filling in since the recent resignation of Superintendent Mott. Quick Work by Wireless Glace City, C.

THE EARTH DETROIT FREE - PRESS Rockefeller Bees No Portent of Disaster.—New York Times. GERMANY WINS AERIAL RACE POMMERN CAPTURES BENNETT CUP, TRAVELING 880 MILES. L'Isle de France Second—Lincoln Beachey Wins Dirigible Contest. St. Louis.—Proclaimed as the most remarkable ballooning contest in the history of the world's aeronautics, with every racing record broken, the second international cup competition, which started from here on Monday last, ended Wednesday, with Germany accorded the winning laurels. The finish of the race was the closest and most exciting the followers of the sport have ever known, the victorious German balloon, the Pommers, which landed at Asbury Park Wednesday morning, having but slightly more than five miles the advantage of the French contestant, Lisile de France, second in the race, which scended during the afternoon at Herbertsville, N. J., a few miles from the Atlantic coast and slightly northwest of Point Pleasant. The third balloon, the Dusselford, stands third in the race. American entries are fourth and fifth, a third German team is sixth, a French team seventh, American eighth and English ninth. The unofficial estimated air-line flight of the Pommern is 880 miles, and that of the L'isle de France is 875. Only the proximity of the Atlantic ocean stopped the wonderful flight of the Pommern. The balloon could have remained in the air many hours longer and undoubtedly would have had several hundred miles ahead of the distance of water ahead. Sailing to windward and return over a course measuring one mile and a half from start to finish, Lincoln Beachey, of Toledo, O., won the dirigible balloon or airship race Wednesday, which marked the close of the St. Louis aeronautic carnival of 1907. The prize was $2,000. In his "Beachey airship," a cigar-shaped affair propelled by a four-cylinder gasoline motor, the winner, covered the distance in four minutes and forty seconds.

The Pittsburg stock exchange was closed promptly. Statements issued by George Westinghouse, prominent bankers, officers of the stock exchange and the clearing committee show conclusive that the financial situation here is sound, and there is no danger. The sever stringency of the money market is alone responsible for the Westinghouse difficulties. The solvency of the embarrassed companies is not questioned.

Freight Steamer on Cocks Creeck City, Cal.-The British freight steamer Queen Cressain struck on north seal rock, four miles northwest of this place at 1:30 a.m. m. Monday.

When the crew left the vessel her pumps were still going and her bulkhead was holding. The steamer will prove a total HOME REMEDY FOR A COLD. The best time to doctor a cold is when you feel it coming on. Do not delay, as you can often cure it in one slightift taken in time. Keep in mind that a cold summer retards the crop—a cold ben never lays—a cold hound—comfortable and a cold house—breeds cold—so when you start to cure your nose, you will. Bathe the feet in hot water—take hot drinks of lemonade or composition lea—take a good laxative quinine tablet and go to bed and sweat. The most important treatment in doctoring a sold or sore throat is a good application on the lungs to help reduce the pressure of pneumonia. It should also apply to comforterate the goose grease, etc, but this thing for this purpose is Hoff's German Liniment. This is a camphor cream, strong and penetrating, yet perfectly clean and does not soil clothing or bedding. It is a simple household remedy, is sold everywhere for twenty-five cents. Be sure to rub it in well and then it is sore use as a gargle. The above treatment is conservative—in fact a good deal less than a good tombstone—and a neglected cold often takes to an untimely grave. Old Colne Discovered. Workingmen in demolishing the old smother house of the first United States mint, on Seventh street, Philadelphia, have uncovered a number of relics of the early days of the republic. These relics consist of a number of foreign and domestic coins, dating as far back as 1793. Some of the interesting finds are a number of test coins that were experimented with by the officials in the old times. These coins are similar to Chinese money, each containing a hole in the center that was filled with various kinds of metal to bring up the value of the coin. Stretching Rings. A jeweler in Third avenue, New York city, advertises "Wedding rings purchased here will be stretched to any size without extra cost." His enterprise is based on a knowledge of human frailty. "The girl often happens to balk," he says, "and the fellow gets it in the neck. The ring for that intended may not fit the finger of the next intended; so I stretch it for nothing. I have stretched rings as many as five times for one man." Why not use rubber rings? Sheer white goods. *La fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are launched, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty.* Home laudering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Fair Warning. "Well, I see that slim girls will be the style this winter," remarked the harmless idiot. "Yes," responded his sister, "and if any of my girl friends suddenly get slender over night I don't want you to ask any fool questions. Hear me!"—Pittsburgh Post. A Vast Bum. The amount of money which the government is called upon to redeem in the course of the year reaches an almost fabulous amount. In 1804, for instance, it totaled $12,000,000. This redemption is either for the purpose of securing clean, fresh notes or to get change of some other denomination. Give Defiance Starch a fair trial—it for both you and an cold starch—try it for both and ask you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no ineffectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membranes. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUREXES and COPAIAA a trio of medical agents is formed in Parura which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CURDALIS SEED, FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. from a theoretical standpoint therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Sava It's Not 80.

Mount Pleasant.—At a special meeting of the executive committee of Iowa Wesleyan university, Mr. Hancher declared his intention of tendering his resignation to the next meeting of the board of trustees. A special call was issued for such meeting to be held Nov. 6. For the three months ending Oct. 1, the profits on operation were $2,666, making a total for the five months under the new regime of $9,781. The falling off of the profits for the last three months as compared with the two months preceding is accounted for in the fact that air compressors working twenty-four hours a day possessed 0.025 percent of the strength on the hill during low weather. New drive wells now in case of completion will obviate this expense in large part by cutting off 0.5 percent of the fuel bills. The large fact that stands forth is that under the old trustees, whose mismanagement is today recognized by every sane person, the plant incurred an indebtedness of $50,000, which was steadily pilled up, while under the new trustees the old plant is being wiped out and the plant is making money. The absence of the thievery under the present arrangement and the adherence to strict business principles is making of the institution a profit producing utility instead of a bill of expense to the municipal corporation. The earning capacity of the plant is the recent report, was a revolution to most of the citizens. It confirms the belief widely expressed that the old trustees had set about it deliberately to wreck the plant which they knew was a money maker in order that the property might be bought up at a nominal price and operated by the current trustee, McArthur, former superintendent is now awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of embezzlement.

This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matter, which cause the afflictions.

A New York clergyman, who often spends his vacation in fishing the streams of the Adirondacks, was on one trip adopted by a handsome setter dog, which insisted on following him from camp to camp, as he moved along the stream. One day he met a party of men upstream with a native guide. The dog immediately recognized the dog as his own property. "Trying to steal my setter, are you?" he shouted at the clergyman. "I'll have you to jail for this! There's a law in the woods just as big as you have in the city." The clergyman endeavored to explain that he was an unwilling companion of the dog, which had refused to be driven away, but to little effect until he added a two-dollar bill to his arguments. It's queer what strange things happen in here," he said to the stage-driver who carried him away from the woods. "That is the first time I was ever accused of stealing a dog." "Yes, air," replied the driver, sympathetically, and added, after a moment's pause, "For myself, air, I have nothing to say, telling any thing."—Youth's Companion. The Sinful Human Heart- A clergyman was addressing a youthful class in Sunday school. To illustrate the idea of regulating the sinful human heart he took out his watch and held it up that all might see it. "See this watch," he said. "Just imagine that it does not keep good time—that it goes all ways but the right way. What ought it to do with it? Instantly a little boy held up his hand. "I know!" he shouted. "Sell it to a friend." Hospital Story-Telling It is curious that philanthropists in search of a novel means of doing good do not engage reciters and storytellers to visit hospitals and amuse the patients. A rich man in New York engaged Marshall P. Wilder, the diminutive entertainer, who has given pleasure in nearly every city, to visit New York hospitals. In New York, Mr. Wilder, a comedian thusastically by the convalescent patients, and his merry stories did them good. Sailing Days Not Over Just at a time when every one who is at all interested in the sea and ships is talking over the Lustiana, her size and her record, it seems a curious reminder of old times to catch sight of a new gold sign in the windows of a skyscraper down at Bowling Green which announces a "sailing service to Australia and New Zealand." No man is called to a life of self-delicat for its own sake. It is in order to obtain a compensation which is real and always proportionate—Drummond. Get Saturated with Caffeine. When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined in health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not it has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years has had severe stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all in vain. Everything failed to give relief. Was instructed for some time, and came carrying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I coffee again and it soured on my mouth." I finally conceived that coffee was not the only treat I needed and I tried it in its shade and with it I commenced using Bismuth and it was very to the touch. I have now used it four months, and my health is no greatly improved. I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before I suffered for years with insomnia. "I have found the cause of my troubles and a way to get rid of them. You can demand upon me to anticipate the punishment. Ransom read "The Road to Wollville," in Plainville. FIVE MONTHS IN HOSPITAL Discharged Because Doctor Could Not Cure. Levi P. Brockway, S. Second Ave, Anoha, Minn, says: "After lying for five months in a hospital I was discharged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected, I had another g spells, some times fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight five months in a hospital I was discharged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected, I had smothering spells, and sometimes fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight was impaired and the kidney secretions were badly disordered. I was completely worn out and discouraged when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, but they went right to the cause of the trouble and did their work well. I have been feeling well even now."

The loves and friendships of individuals partake of the frail character of human life, and are brief and uncertain. The experience of a human life may be shortly summed up: A little loving and a good deal of sorrowing; some bright hopes and many bitter disappointments; some gorgeted browns when the skies are bright and the heavens over us in providence, B颂着 over in blessings, glads the heart almost to madness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many Waterloo defeats, until the heart becomes like a charnel house filled with dead affections, embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then the heart is filled with sorrow, it is broken, the individual life, closes a vapor, passes away —Matthew Hale Carpenter. SKIN SORE EIGHT YEARS. Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies but Got No Relief—Cuticura Cures in a Week. "Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms, and I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cucurcua Remedies (costing a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I have been working my business. I went to work again my business and been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cucurcua Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschhaff, 24 Columbus Ave, New York, N. Y., March 29 and April 6, 1906." Something New In Tablecloths She had come into the store to buy tablecloths and she stated in the beginning that she wanted something "new." The salesman was patient and showed her everything in stock, but nothing suited. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, fussily, "haven't you anything different?" The clerk brought out one of the discarded tablecloths that he had put in the coffin, and said with an air of interest: "Here is one of the very newest designs, madam. You see, the center is in the middle and the border runs right around the edge." "Why, yes! Let me have that one," she said eagerly. Not to Be Wasted Ben Cary had near his house a swamp, which was a breeding-place for herds of man-eating mosquitoes. Some enterprising neighbors, who learned of the crude oil treatment, went to Ben and tried to persuade him to exterminate the pests. "Exterminate 'em?" said Ben. "Not much. Not much. Why, Mis' Cary an' I just I paid $22 for showing the side plazzer that she's been pestering me for about years. How we goin' to get any good of it, if we kill off the skeeters?"-Youth's Companion.

The late James McNeil Whistler was standing bareheaded in a hat shop, the clerk having taken his hat to another part of the shop for comparison. A man rushed in with his hat in his hand and supposing Whistler to be a clerk angrily confronted him. "See here," he said, "This hat doesn't it."
