Our city and even state will feel sorry to receive the sad intelligence of the death of James Hamilton, recently of our city but formerly of Ottumwa, is indeed a loss to the race. As a good citizen, a devout christian, a life member of the church, as a true Master Mason, a loving father and a kind friend to the young people, his place will not and cannot soon be filled. He was loved and respected by all races. Mr. James P. Hamilton was born in Augusta, Ga., May 30th, 1841 and died at his home, 844 Sixth avenue, May 1st, 1909. He left Georgia at the close of the civil was with Captain Stidger to Davenport, Ia. first, thence to Keosanqa where he assisted in organizing one of the respectable colored colony in Iowa. The hard flight and pioneer struggle he had to get colored children in the white schools was fierce. He married Miss Louise Smith Oct. 27, 1866. To this union six children were born, one boy and five girls; all have departed this life save three 'girls', Mrs. Mate Alexander of this city, Mrs. Emma Coleman of Chicago and Mrs. Ella Smith of Pierre, S. Dak. He leaves a loving and dutiful wife, three children and sixteen grand children, with a host of friends all over Iowa to mourn his loss. A notable fact was that all of his son-in-laws were present except one. The funeral was held at the A. M. E. church of which he was a trustee, conducted by his pastor Rev. Geo. W. Gaines, assisted by Revs. Griffith, McCraven and Dr. Dulin. The Masonic lodge, Golden Star No. 4, of Ottumwa, Ia. of which he was a member, had charge, assisted by North Star lodge No. 2 of Des Moines. Their ceremonies were very beautiful and effective, which were held at the grave in Woodland cemetery. The floral offering was beautiful and immense. It was one of the largest attended funerals ever held in our city. The pall bearers were Zach. Taylor and Wells Fowler of Ottumwa, R. N. Hyle, Jeff Logan, Henry West and H. E. Jacobs. MRS. N. M.

Professor J. H. Torbert, who is the principal of the High and Industrial School For Afro-Americans, Fort Valley, Ga., said in a recent address before a large audience of white people at Brooklyn, N. Y.: "The Negro problem is a great one. It cannot be solved in a day nor a decade nor in a generation. It must be worked out through patience and work, hope and prayer and sublime faith. "Let me appeal to philanthropists of the north to re-enforce the already large army of workers at the south, because in education lies the hope of this people. "Educate us and we will fight ignorance. Encourage us and we will fight crime. Treat us as a people who have feelings and desires and hopes in common with people of other races and we can work more heartily from within. We will have more pride of self, pride of race and pride of country. When the clean and the upright, when the useful and the progressive, of my race are encouraged and protected, when worth and merit shall have a larger part in determining our treatment and the color of the skin less, we can more willingly and effectively can move toward criminals to justice and teach respect for law and obedience to authority. An individual works best when he has encouragement, when he is told of his good qualities and when he is fully trusted. What is true of an individual is also true of a race. Be generous to us in our poverty, be lenient with us in our shortcomings, and we as a race will quickly acknowledge our mistakes and as quickly strive to make them less. But it must be borne in mind that we have a tremendous problem upon our hands at the south." AN HONOR TO HIS RACE. Walter H. Loving, Who Broke Racial Lines in Founding Filippine Band. Dunbar's "When do Coloed Band Comes Marching Down the Street" would not be an exaggerated description of the Filippine band. Under the matchless leadership of Captain Walter H. Loving it is winning the unstinted praise of the music loving people of Washington. The grand opening of the great Washington driveway, called by some the "Esplanade," by others "Riverade drive," was the scene of a brilliant assemblage recently to witness the concert by the Filippine band. The program on that occasion was presented by President and Mrs. Taft, members of the cabinet, with their wives, and other distinguished personages were among the throng that gathered to hear this band of "little brown men" from the faroff Philippine Islands. The central figure, the promoter, in fact, the creator of this band, is Captain Walter H. CAPTAIN W. H. LOVING. Loving, an Afro-American of fine presence, attractive physique and winning personality. The driveway concert is only one of the many given by the Filipino band, which has been giving performances at Washington twice or less since the 4th of March, when it won the day as it marched down Pennsylvania avenue in the inaugural parade. It played afterward at the pension office and at the White House. Captain Loving is a native of Washington, where he received his education, which he afterward supplemented in some of the big musical conservatories of the east. He is a musician by nature, training and adoption. He went to the far east, demonstrated his musical ability, organized the Philippine Constabulary band and returned to his home, after an absence of about six years, heralded and received by musical critics of high repute as one of the world's greatest bandmasters. Of all the colored men who have gone to the Philippine Islands not one has gained such fame as Walter Loving. He broke into new fields, into unexplored forests. He sought and succeeded in breaking over racial lines and as a result comes back to his native land as the leader of a band composed of eighty-five men of the Malay race. Young Pianist Encouraged. Miss Maude Arlene Robinson, who recently gave her initial piano recital at Brooklyn, is a most promising young musician. She was assisted by Mme. M. C. Copeland. A large number of Miss Robinson's immediate friends were present and gave her royal encouragement. REV. B. F. ABNER, A. B., A. M., B. D. Of Chicago, Field Secretary, Western Baptist Convention.

A good collection was taken up for the support of the pastor during the suspension of the meeting. SIOUX CITY ITEMS. Sunday will be endowment day at the A. M. Echurch and Sunday School.

A RAP FOR EAVESDROPPERS Simple Device Well Calculated to insure Privacy. The eavesdropper, are applying his ear, applied his eye. Through the keyhole another eye looked cold into his. He started back pale with fright. He tipped off hurriedly. "I'll lose my job," he muttered. Meanwhile his mistress, the widow, sat with the young and gallant captain in the room from whose door the eavesdropper had retreated. A cigarette smoldered between her slim fingers and her dimple elbows were on the table, among the litter of mice and wandwiches, cold partridge and champagne. The young captain pointed to the door. A hand mirror, its silver gilt back towards him, hung from the door knob. "Why did you put that there?" he asked. "It is a trap for peepers," recolled the widow. "Suppose my butler or cook stole to the door and put his eye to the keyhole. His eye would meet another eye. Believing himself discovered, he would trot silently away." DAYS OF TRIBULATION OVER. "I remember one man from my home town," a westerner senator said recently, "in the good old days of civil service examinations, whose dream of earthly attainment was a government place. When his party was finally successful he immediately set out for Washington and was on the job long before the 4th of March, but there seemed to be a hitch somewhere. All through the spring fie was about town. Wherever I wont I would see him, striving for or just after an audience with some department official. By Jume he was seedy and broken looking, but still appeared to be 'game'. Finally I found him in the gallery of the senate chamber apparently endeavoring to kill time. "Well, have you given it up?" I asked, trying to be sympathetic. "Oh, I got the job, all right, he replied with a satisfied smile. I'm working now."—"Success Magazine. The Earliest Religion Religion was at first purely domestic, an affair of the family, pure and simple. The gods were the dead ancestors, and the worship consisted of the perpetual care of the hearth fire and the graves of the departed relatives. It was the ancient belief (the most ancient, so far as we know) that the departed ancestors continued to live in or about the tomb, and that their peace and happiness depended absolutely upon the care with which their posterior looked after their workings. The hearth fire was allowed to die down, and the food and drink were not faithfully taken to the tomb, their existence became a wretched one; whereas, if these things were carefully attended to, all was serene with them. There is much to show that this domestic belief obtained for a long time before the belief in God and a future life came in—Chicago American. Mirror for the Sick Room. "Only a hand mirror should find place in a sickroom," said a doctor, "but should be one flattering to the patient—if it is too bright, for if the face is too broad, will lengthen it a little. And the patient should only be allowed to look in the mirror at propitious times. Many a patient has been frightened literally to death by his haggard reflection—has looked, sighted, and renounced hope. But many another patient in a really bad way—really desperate, too—being given a mirror, just after he has taken a stimulant, was wonderfully. In fact, a sickroom mirror, wisely handled, is a causal agent, who recklessly handled it may kill." Loved and Hated. Europe hates our rich art patrons and loves them. It loves them for the money they have made and are willing to spend on old masters and new masters, even when they are spurious. It hates the rich American when he beats a rich European in competition for some highly desired art treasure. Then Americans become more mute than by brute strength of the longer punches in their art consumers who raise art价到 unreasonable heights by their traditional desire to get what they want when they want it.

Custom Practiced by Christian Church at Boston Before the Civil War. Before the civil war, when there were comparatively few Afro-American churches in Boston, it was the custom in some of the white Protestant churches to set apart in a remote corner of the gallery pews for colored people who cared to worship with their white brethren and sisters, notwithstanding a Negro church had been established at Boston since 1700. This custom, however, of setting apart a jimcow pew in a Christian church aroused the opposition of the abolitionists, one of whom wrote a spirited little book against this practice. It was entitled "The Negro Pew," Being an Inquiry Concerning the Propriety of Distinctions in the House of God on Account of Color." It was published without the author's name by Isaac Knapp, at 25 Cornell, in 1837. Without doubt reasons of prudence caused the writer to withhold his name, because the slavery question was already acute at Boston. "Suppose," says the author, "a church should set apart a seat for red headed people. Would a red haired man or woman ever be found in that church? Or suppose there should be a pew for the exclusive use of the humbasken. Would it ever be occupied? "No man would be writing that the constitutional peculiarity, which God gave him, should exclude him from equal privileges in the house of God. It therefore follows that no one ought to desire any of his fellow belongs to be subject to such exclusion for a similar cause. "The real cause of prejudice, however, is not color, but the caste feeling." He called the fear of amalgamation a scarecrow and said that the mingling of the races was going on all the time, even at the north, and that in the south it had made rapid strides. He gave this illustration: "A young physician went to the south, where he became acquainted with a worthy young woman, who was at service, without having the slightest suspicion that there was a drop of African blood in her veins. They were married and had lived happily together for some time when a gentleman informed them that he was informed him that the woman was his property. The astonished husband was obliged either to pay the man his price for his own wife or have his exposed at public sale. He chose the former. On informing his wife of the circumstances she remanded, with tears that she had supposed the gentleman, seeing her well provided for, would not molest her, especially as he was her own father." BISHOP LAMPTON'S VIEWS. Gives Religious Advice in Political Matters—Great Church Financier. Church financiers, representing all of the episcopal districts of the A. M. E. church, met recently at the well appointed banking house of the denomination on Fourteenth street, Washington. Dr. John Hurst, the financial secretary, made his maiden report to the board, which proved to be a record breaker. A cash balance of over $25,000 was reported. The aggregate col. BISHOP E. W. LAMPTON. lections have passed $3,000,000, and the "dollar money" fund is up in the hundred thousands. Bishop E. W. Lampton, who preceded Dr. Hurst in the office of financial secretary, was one of the most interesting personalities, from a Washington viewpoint, present during the meeting. Bishop Lampton resided at Washington for seven years, and this is his first visit to his city since he was a student. He is still called the "great financier" of the church, for it was during his administration that the financial department took on new life. His systematic methods as well as his sterling honesty brought the finances of his church into repute and made its paper acceptable as gilt edge security in any of the big banking houses of the United States. He is making a splendid bishop, and that in spite of the fact that he is the youngest one of the superintendents of that great church. He is a politician in conditions in Mississippi, which is his home, and in fact, throughout the south, where his work is, the bishop said: "I am not a politician and therefore I cannot give you a survey of political conditions in the south. However, like all true lovers of my race, I am deeply interested in political as well as their religious welfare. You may say, however, that I content myself by giving religious advice in political matters." Iowa State Bystander POET'S STATUE UNVEILED MONUMENT TO LONGFELLOW IS GIVEN TO NATIONAL. President Taft and Other Notables Take Part in the Ceremonies at Washington. Washington.—To the strains of "Hawatha" and "The Star-Spangled Banner," played by the Marine band, the statue erected to the memory of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was displayed Wednesday, which shows the American poet seated with a book in his hand, represents 12 years of hard and conscientious work by the Longfellow National Memorial association and the generosity of the public in coming forward with subscriptions to perpetuate in the national capital the memory of one of the nation's greatest poets. The occasion was the more notable because of the presence of the president of the United States, members of the diplomatic corps, men distinguished in letters, and by practically all of the living relatives of the poet. The statue itself is an artistic addition to the tributes to Americans who Monument to Lonefellow. have won renown in the higher arena of individual effort which adorn the national capital. It is the first statue erected here to mark distinguished services rendered to our national literature. The statue, which is located in a small triangular parking at the intersection of Connecticut avenue and U street, is of hercule size, of pure white Persian marble, and the pedestal, in striking contrast, is of reddish brown marble imported from Scottish quarries. William Couper of New York is the sculptor. Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme court of the United States presided at the unveiling exercises, and the invocation was delivered by Rev. Charles Wood, pastor of the Church of the Covenant. Addresses were received by the Rev. Bless Perry-Silver adjuctor bishop of Pennsylvania, on "The History of the Statue;" by Maj. A.G. W. Greely on "Longfellow the Man;" by Prof. Bliss Perry of Harvard university, on "Longfellow the Citizen;" and by Hamilton W. Mable on "Longfellow the Poet." The statue was presented to the city by Brainard H. Warner, treasurer of the Longfellow National Memorial and was accepted by President Taft.

More people have been killed in the city. There are 20,000 dead in the Adana provinces as a result of the massacres, and 25,000 homeless and penniless refugees are wandering in the vilayet. The deaths in Adana city alone are estimated at 5,500. Adana is terrorized by 4,000 soldiers, who are looting, shooting and burning. No respect is paid to foreign properties. Both the French schools have been destroyed, and it is feared that the American school, commercial and missionary interests in Adana are totally ruined. Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey—Authentic details of the atrocities committed by the fanatical Mohammedans in the villages and in this district are now coming in to Tarsus with sickening abundance. At least 10,000 persons lost their lives in this province, and some estimates place the total casualties at 25,000. Villages like Osmanleh, Bazche, Hamadleh, Kara, Kristian, Keoy and Keozook were actually wiped out. Each of these places had populations of from 500 to 600 people. The slaughter was unsparing; even Greeks and Syrians were struck down with the weapons. Entire families were burned to death in their homes. Hundreds of girls and women maltreated and carried on to the harens, where the women were separated from the men. The correspondent was informed that at one place a party of 100 Armenians surrendered to the soldiers. The prisoners were taken to an open field, where the women were ordered to stand apart from the men. Every one of the men was then shot. In many cases, the women were killed, their women elonging to them, trying to save their lives. A large number of women were wounded because of their persistence. Young Turks around Tarsus traded Armenian girls for horses and modern repeating rifles. The entire ten days seem to have been an insensate orgy of lust and violence in the name of race and religion. Marash, Aslatic Turkey—A letter received here by the messenger from Harni says that every man there has been killed. Only women, girls and boys under ten years of age have been left alive. The churches and houses were plundered and most of them were burned. Celebrates Discovery of Gold.

Hadley Protests Against Action by Congress on Congressman Murphy's Resolution. Washington—No action is expected upon the senatorial resolution introduced in the house Monday by Congressman Murphy of Missouri, asking for an investigation of the conduct of Federal judges Smith McPherson and John P. Phillips of the western district of Missouri in the litigation between the state of Missouri and the railroad companies over the maximum freight law and the two-cent passenger rate law. A protest telegraphed by Gov. Hadley stating that introduction of the Murphy resolution "at this time is unadvised," is expected to put the resolution to sleep in the room of the committee on rules, to which it was sent. Attorney General Wickersham received a telegram from Attorney Fergus Hagerman of Kauai City, calling the Murphy resolution "an outrageous tissue of misrepresentation by one who has no knowledge of the facts."

But Some Painter Will Wear No Longer. When you have a job of painting done you don't expect to have it done over again very quickly. In several things must be taken into consideration—the proper time to paint—the condition of the surface—the kind of materials to use, etc. All these matters are fully covered in the specifications which can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 111.

"My little boy had an awful rash all over his body and the doctor said it was eczema. It was terrible, and used to water awfully. Any place the water went it would form another sore and it would become grusted. A score or more physicians failed utterly and dismally in their efforts to remove the trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuticura Remedies. I got a goat skin of Cuticura cream box of Cuticura Ointment and bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before we had used half the Resolvent I could see a change in him.

A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years was troubled with stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all in vain. Everything failed to perfect a cure. I was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and it sourced my stomach.

WAY HOLD SUBSIDIARY STOCK Although Highest Tribunal Declares Hepburn Rate Law Valid, the Companies Win Important Points—Easy to Dodge the Statute. Washington.—The decision rendered by the supreme court of the United States in the "commodities clause" cases affecting the railroads has attracted the greatest attention. That it is one of the biggest surprises the highest tribunal ever has sprung is manifested by the vast number of parts of the country. By the decision the railroads are the chief winners, although the Hepburn law is declared constitutional. These cases had been decided by the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania favorably to the railroads in that the clause of the Hepburn rate law, which prohibits interstate railroads from carrying commodities manufactured, mined or produced directly or indirectly by the roads, was declared constitutional. When it was found that the reversal was based on technical grounds and that the effect was really favorable to the railroads, those who had been anxiously awaiting the announcement of the result found themselves much puzzled. The court's judgment was announced by Justice White. Analyzed, Justice White's decision is that congress did not transcend its constitutional authority in the enactment of the commission, in hand, it was held that the government's construction of the provision had been entirely too comprehensive. As construed by the court, the sole object of the clause is to prevent carriers from being associated in interest with the commodities transported at the time of transportation, hence that the law only prohibits the transportation of articles when they have been produced by a railway company which has not, in good faith, parted with them, when the company owns or controls, in whole or in part, the commodity to be transported, and when the company has an interest direct or indirect in the commodity in issue, sense. In general, the prohibition does not apply to the ownership of stock in a producing company, but a that a carrier may own stock in such a company, and at the same time transport the product of that company. Summed up, the act only compels companies to disassociate themselves from the products they carry, and the contention of the government that the law applies to the ownership of stock and prohibits the transportation of commodities simply because they have the right to own them, regardless of the fact that the company has parted with them, is untenable and incapable of enforcement. Unless the act is promptly amended so as to include stock ownership, the railroads can escape the law entirely by converting their direct ownership of coal properties into stock ownership by the organization of subsidiary coal companies. The effect of the decision under existing conditions is favorable to the railroads, and the government lost on practically all points except in the sustenance of the principle involved. BRITONS THE BEST SHOTS John Bull's Riflemen Defeat Uncle Sam's 14,583 to 14,179 Points in Match. Washington. — British riflemen in the international small bore match just ended, demonstrated their superiority over the Americans. The match was a friendly one with bore rifles on gallery ranges in the respect of the Americans. The targets were issued by the British Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs, were signed by the respective associations and interchanged, and the results announced by cable. Australia, the other contestant, has not yet been heard from but the National Rifle association of America, under whose auspices the contests were conducted in this country, is of the opinion that their scores will not equal those of the British team. The British team made the grand total of 14,583 points out of a possible 15,000, or an average of 291 per man. The scores of the American team were 14,179. Mexico Celebrates Freedom.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by the constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Glyndon, who has served thirty-one years in the Fort Madison state prison for a crime, which members of the board say there is grave doubt of his having committed. The recommendation has been submitted to Governor Carroll. Only a stroke of the governor's pen now stands between the old man whose strength and hope and soul have all but died within the walls of an Iowa prison and freedom. That stroke will be backed by the united conviction of three men appointed as a competent advisory tribunal, that Glyndon has suffered long enough, that he not improbably is the victim of an appalling miscarriage of justice and that he should be allowed to pass his twilight days a free man. In 1878 he has breathed prison air, worn convict's clothes, and passed his days with the companionship of criminals within the four walls of the Fort Madison penitentiary. He has been in prison longer than any other man, living or dead, in the United States. ELECT FINANCE COMMITTEE W. R. Boyd of Cedar Rapida, President, D. A. Emery of Ottumwa, Secretary, and Thos.

Davison of the executive council is mailing a circular letter to the tradition of every county in Iowa making for a comparative statement of the real and assessed valuation of lands within the county. The information will be used in determining the assessments of Iowa railroads next summer. Six years ago a similar canvass was made by the council and the result was a 10 per cent boost in the railroad assessment. It was found in 1903 that the average rate of assessment of land was 1.15 per cent and this percentage was applied with some modification to the assessment of railroad property. In 1902 the total assessed valuation of railroads in Iowa was $51,307,950. After a canvass ordered by Governor Cummins had shown that farm lands were paying taxes on $0 per cent of their real value, the total assessed valuation jumped to $56,541,513, or in dollars per cent. Increases in earnings since 1902 have increased the assessed valuation until last year it was $63,457,197. No attempt will be made by the council to ascertain the comparative valuations of personal property or of city real estate. ATTACK ON ANTI-PASS LAW Illinois Central Company Will Carry the Case to the Nation's Highest Court Des Moines, Ia., May 3—The Illinois Central railroad has begun an attack on the Iowa anti-pass law that will not end until the statute has been passed upon by the United States supreme court. The attack of the railroad is centered upon that portion of the law which provides that a company attorney or surgeon may not receive transportation unless his work for the company is his "main or chief occupation." This provision is held to be unconstitutional and invalid on four grounds, and incidentally the arguments of the appellant contends that this portion of the anti-pass law so influenced the passage of the entire act that the entire law must be declared void.

DOLLAR WHEAT HAS COME TO STAY IN LEBS THAN FIVE YEARS CEN TRAL CANADA WILL BE CALLED UPON TO SUPPLY THE UNITED STATES. A couple of years ago, when the announcement was made in these columns that "dollar wheat" had come to stay, and that the time was not far distant when the central provinces of Canada—Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta—would be called upon to supply a large part of the wheat contents of the country; there were many who laughed at the priceless and ridiculed the idea of wheat reaching the dollar point and staying there. Both of these predictions have come to pass. Dollar wheat is here—and it is not only here, but is here to stay; and at the same time, whatever unpleasant sensations it may arouse in the super-sensitive American, Central Canada is already being called to help keep up the bread supply, and to help keep up the milk supply, as James J. Hill says, literally "become the bread-basket of our increasing millions." There are few men in the United States better acquainted with the wheat situation than Mr. Hill, and there are few men, if any, who are inclined to be more conservative in their expressed views. Yet it was the greatest of the world's railroad men who said a few days ago that "the country is totally lower than it is today"—and when it is taken into consideration that at that time wheat had soared to $1.20, well above the dollar mark, the statement is peculiarly significant, and doubly significant is the fact that in this country the population is increased at the ratio of 65 per cent, while the yield of wheat and other products is increasing at the rate of only 25 per cent. For several years the increase in the wheat yield is increasing in the United States, and this wide difference in production and consumption is the reason. This difference must be supplied by the vast and fertile grain regions of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There is now absolutely no doubt of this. Even the press of the country concedes the fact. Results have shown that no other country in the world can ever hope to equal those provinces as wheat producers, and that no other country can produce as hard or as good wheat. Said a great grain man recently, "If United States wheat maintains the dollar mark, Canada wheat will be well above a dollar a bushel, for in every way it is superior to our home-grown grain." With these facts steadily impinging their truth upon our rapidly growing population, it is interesting to note just what possibilities as a "wheat grower" our Northern neighbor possesses. While the United States will never surrender her prestige in any manufacturing or commercial line, she must very soon acknowledge, and with it bound to be beaten as a grain producer. It must be conceded that a great deal of the actual truth about the richness of Canada's grain production area has been "kept out of sight," as Mr. Hill says, by the strenuous efforts of our newspapers and magazines to stem the exodus of our best American farmers into those regions. It is a fact that up to the present day, we have already achieved the front rank in the grain producers, the fertile prairies of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have as yet scarcely been scratched. Millions of acres, free for the taking, still await our American farmers; and when these millions are gone there are other millions in regions not yet opened up to immigration. A few years ago the writer, who has been through those wheat producers, and when these millions of our people at the broad statement that Canada was bound to become "John Bull's Bread Basket." Now, after a last trip (and though he is a stanch American) he frankly believes that not only will Canada become John Bull's bread-basket, but it will within the next decade at least BECOME THE BREADE-BASKET OF THE UNITED STATES. Perhaps this may be a hard truth for Americans to understand, nevertheless. And it is at least a painful penation to know that hundreds of thousands of our farmers are profiting by the fact by becoming producers in this new country. The papers of this country have naturally made the most of the brief period of depression which swept over Canada, but now there is not a sign of it left from Winnipeg to the coast. Never have the three great wheat raisings provinces been more prosperous. Capital is coming into the country from quarters, taking the form of large farms, cerns seeking locations, and, best of all, substantial and sturdy immigrants come to help populate the prairies. Towns are booming; scores of new elevators are springing up; railroads are sending out their branch lines in all directions; thousands of prosperous farmers are leaving their prairie shelters for new, and modern homes—"built by wheat": everywhere is a growing happiness and contentment. Farmers are buying wheat—the "dollar wheat," which has come to stay. Notwithstanding this, the Canadian Government is still giving away its homesetts and selling pre-emptions at $3.00 an acre, and the Railway and Land Companies are disposing of their lands at what may be considered nominal figures.

C., May 7—Senator Cummins' address yesterday, following close upon that of Senator Dolliver's has made a strong impression here. Senator Cummins upheld Senator Dolliver's utterances and commanded his speech as a great one and the fact that both Iowa senators are laboring to make a strong impression in accordance with the promises of the Chicago platform, is recognized as having an important bearing on the situation with respect to the tariff bill. It is accepted as proof positive that there is a powerful sentiment in Iowa and neighboring states for genuine revision which will revise the tariff in interest of the ultimate consumer. Today Senator Clapp of Minnesota will speak. He is in accord with the general sentiment of the Cummins and is for downward revision, just as is his colleague, Senator Knute Nelson. Senator Cummins' address attracted much notice. He was given close attention by senators. He was frequently interrupted and had sharp colloquies with Senators Smoot, Flint, Scott, Aldrich and one or two others. He was applauded loudly by the galleries on one occasion, when he had a tilt with Senator Scott when he was telling of what he knew about the organization of the American Steel and Wire company which he helped to organize. Scott asked if he were paid in cash or in stock. Senator Cummins retorted: "If I had lived in the dishonest atmosphere of West Virginia that might have been the case, but I lived in honest Iowa and I will say that I got my pay in cash." This brought forth a storm of applause from the galleries. Further sharp exchanges between the Iowa and West Virginian occurred before the incident closed. Senator Cummins' statement about the steel and iron schedules attracted much attention from senators. He occupied the chairs in his office but he will be heard further as the schedules come up. With the exception of the reductions on lumber and hides Senator Cummins said there were no reductions in the bill that would affect prices to the consumer one whit. He wanted reductions of duties on commodities so that there would be reductions in prices to the consumer. Senator Cummins said he would vote for the bill if something was not disclosed to prevent it, but he would not do so because it was substantial revision or in compliance with the Chicago platform. He would vote for it because he believed it was some improvement over 1897 in light of changed conditions. **Celebrates Discovery of Gold.** Denver, Col., May 7—Colorado is celebrating with today with gates in Denver and other cities the fifth anniversary of the discovery of gold that started the Great Pike's Peak stampe of fortune-seekers in 1859.

On May 6, 59 years ago, the first recorded find of gold in the Rocky mountains was made in the district of Clear creek by Capt. John H. Gregory, a Georgia miner. Left Babe to Die in Field. Cedar Rapids, Ia., May 7—Peter Pinch, a young farmer residing near Rowley, has been arrested on the charge of murdering an infant born to his wife a few days ago. The child's body was found near Urbana and inquiry developed the fact that Pinch took the baby in a suit case, claiming he intended to take it to the home for friendship, and left it to die in a field. He was bound over to the grand jury on a preliminary examination at Vinton this morning. Big Fire at Glidden. Glidden, Ia, May 7—Fire starting in the wheat bins of the A.

Good Work For Home Missions. Society of Women at Worcester, Mass. Celebrates Fourth Anniversary With Mike Box Opening at Suffolk M. E. Church—Prizes Awarded. BY MISS A. L. V. WALKEN. The Woman's Home Missionary society of the Beth Methodist Episcopal church, Worcester, Mau. celebrated its fourth anniversary recently with a reception and mile box opening. The members of the society were distinguished by red ribbon badges. The devotional topic was conducted by the president, Mrs. Edward Scott, and Miss L. Van Hoeen. The president, who made the opening address, gave a glowing account of the work which the society has accomplished and urged the members more zealous to come, coming year after larger results than any in the part Mrs. Scott said: "The Woman's Home Missionary society has been an im- MRS. WRAK PRICE important factor in the work of Bethel church, and its helpful influence is being largely felt in this community. Our aim is to assist the sick, the poor and the needy as far as our means and personal help will permit, and it is indeed encouraging to know that those who have been the recipients of the society's help have shown their appreciation." The annual report, which was read by Mrs. Frank Price, showed that the society had done a large amount of good during the year. The report was very cheering to the members. Mrs. Frank Price helped plan soils which were followed by a paper on social settlement work, which was read by Miss A. L. Van'Jillen, who gave in detail some of the methods by which work of that kind is carried on by the society. Miss Lena Wilson gave a vocal soil, after which the president introduced Mrs. Rowell Hazard, who is a prominent missionary worker at the John Street Baptist church. Mrs. Hazard's subject was "Service and Sacrifice." She gave a splendid review of the work of the women of the early Christian church and also of their being the first at the tomb on the resurrection morning. She told further of how many women had sacrificed the comforts of home and friends and had gone out to work and had their bushes and often alone, to lands to carry the gospel to the heathen. The closing numbers were a piano soil by Mrs. Raymond Jones, a selection by Mrs. Frank Price and a vocal duet by Miss Nellie McNorton and Mrs. Lena Wilson. The mite box opening is in charge of Mr. Silas Laws. Rev. Mr. W. B. Perry, pastor of the church, announced the names of those entitled to prizes, as follows: Mrs. Frank Price, first prize, which was a handsome sofa pillow; Mrs. Fannie Hazard, second prize, a fancy apron; Mrs. Ada Edson, third prize, which was a beautiful glass dish. The officers of the society are Mrs. Edward Scott, Mrs. Ada Edson, vice president; Mrs. Frank Price, secretary; Miss Elizabeth Nott, treasurer. Civil War Veteran's Death. Although Henry H. Wells, a negro veteran of the civil war, died at the National Soldiers' home in Virginia some time ago, his wife and daughter, who live in Washington, did not learn of the fact until recently. Wells, who had been sick for a long time, became mentally unbalanced, during his last illness and when asked the address of his relatives gave him a burial with full military honors. His family have since been to the home and made certain of the Identification. Wells was born in Maryland in 1844, but enlisted from Virginia in Battery B, United States colored volunteer light artillery. He served throughout the war and was in many of the great engagements. After the war he was sent to the Texas frontier and was stationed for a time as acting hospital ward at Brownsville. He was a member of the P. O. Morton post, No. 4, department of the Potomac, G. A.

A rare and curious mazout portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Layette S. Richardson of Lower Manhattan, at Boston. It is entitled "George Washington; late president of the United States of America, etc," and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III, as it does the Father of His Country, Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mazout has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Insist on Yellow Flour. Charles Christador, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent, of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is tar-reaching."-National Food Magazine. No More Gold Lace for Afghanis. The ameer has published an edifix, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lanjigs and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubt less be received by his subjects with tatter mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity. Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a many state are合情于的; and in the most of the most unobservant person alive, in short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his.

Charles G. Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surprials, and to sell you something that money cannot buy. Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud to get money from the government. You will then, for example, Mr. Dawes on the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them One of the greatest games for the office man or woman to refresh themselves after the day's work.

A well-known family in Catholic cities, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the winter classes were to school. The family, being quite hospitably inclined, entertained quite lavishly some of the dignitaries of the Vatican. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others some of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to the see father. After awhile they came, the three golden-holden girls, but only stared at the deformed of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such behavior, said to the eldest: "Come here, dear; don't you remember good Father —, who used to come and see us from the cathedral?" There they stood, the three little children most disappointingly at good Father —, the eldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said—Philadelphia Public Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW. Woman of Experience Not Hasty in Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little imp if he belonged to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that boy had received then and there, the police were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general babel of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempest raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I make him mind if I had to half kill him. Wouldn't you." I don't know what the little woman "I did." You "don't?" said the determined woman. "Well, I know. But maybe you are not used to children? Maybe you never had any of your own?" "Oh, yes," said the little-woman. "I know what I would do, why I don't know what I would do." Concrete Not Modern. Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is secrely half a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that came to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and clumy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Colgnet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings, at first merely useful buildings like conservatories. It was early as 1874 a concrete wall was built on the north shore of Isle of Man 's sound, but it was built years before the idea 'took' here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was setized upon with avidity - south's Magazine.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE.
