The regular annual meeting of the Western Press Association held its meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last week While in number of attendance it was not much of a success for only about two actual editors and newspaper editors, the number of zen attendance was small, due perhaps to the fact that it was not sufficiently well advertised and the counter attraction of the K. of P. was so great and interesting all of these with the Grand Masons Lodge of Kansas meeting in Kansas City, Kansas, all the time.

Time, the Friday and Saturdayanksgiving in 1910. The president's Address to the Country. First, that we editors glean from past experiences and using them as a guide for us in the present and past, we see a ray of hope and better things for the negro race in North America. (While in South America, Canada and Mexico they are making great advancement.) The lessening of crime among our laborers enterning in the number of lynchings, with a larger per cent of our children in the common public high schools and colleges with a lower per cent of illiteracy than any other time with more of our laborers enterning in the recent Georgia discussion regarding the colored firemen, giving them equal pay with other firemen, all point to general gradual, but sure advancement along all lines. The reason that we urge our people in every community to acquire property learn a trade, enter into business, live a good moral life, create a friendly and neighborly feeling with your causes brethren, thereby cementing the chain of friendship with will be Third, while the race has gained, but little of her equal political rights denied them, yet the settling of the Brownwellia affair by the efforts of the Republican party by those discharged soldiers may be reinstated with full rights and full back pay from date of discharge. Fourth, but further resolved that we urge congress to take some constituent process, and by here we will violated the constitution of the United States be furnished or else a reduction of representation in congress be made in accordance with the republican party pledge in national platform. We would urge to become more united, the identity themselves with the best elements of American life and seek only those things that are uplifting and elevating to this much watched race the tendency to lessen the pressures in the southland by the better class of both races. —Thank God, there is a nation who thinks that there are some good in a black man and recognizes this fact not from merely guess, work, but from actual experience, if she has a blot on the pages of her history for the most part, but she has a blunt and bravest generals that ever adorned a uniform, as emblem of his official duty. Toussaint L'Ouverture, statesman, soldier and martyr, who was never conquered, was a hero who tried with all her battleships and brave soldiers to conquer and subdue this great fighter, with a loss of many lives in the struggle. Napoleon who became jealous of this great general, started out to make him a general, but was not able to his aim because of superior generalship and intelligence, but in order to end the struggle they resorted to stratagem, by pretending to make peace after which Toussaint L'Ouvverture was invited on one occasion to dine on board a French man-of-war and there he was captured, sent to France and confined in a dump, calm and tougher, the most cowardly and unsulderly like piece of work ever attempted by any intelligent nation and now comes the reward for the death of this noble general who gave up his life for his country. The French people who have been killed and the dead fought toughly, and have come to the conclusion that he is very valuable both as a soldier and a statesman and are recognizing his ability as such. Following is a clipping takes out of one of the French-Canadian papers just released on August 8th, 1989—France will probably enlist 40,000 negroes at Paris, France, is the negro destined to be the soldier of the future? France is so pleased with the record of the 2,000 black men in her army that she is confined to the army for the rest of August 8th, 1989—France will probably enlist 40,000 negroes from her West African possessions, available for the services of France or wherever French troops are called. The father of the scheme is Col. Mangin, who proposes that the French Consulation law be amended to allow 100,000 negroes from their native population of 12,000,000. This would give a black force of 1,000,000 with a reserve of 600,000. What will America say about this. It is a fact that the black man is going to be the shining star of the French army is true. It is true that American people are overlooking or never read the lives of such men as Robert Small, who at his family, surrendered to the federal army a transient slave and run away slave upon whose head a ransom of ten pounds was offered by his master, Wm. Brown of Framingham, Mass. for his return, afterwards took up the first insult against the American flag March 5th, 1970, at the Battle of Chinchincha, where he fought the revolutionary war and fell with the first three at the Boston massacre after the British troops were ordered to fire upon them. Do true-blue Americans and honest historians forget such acts of bravery, and loyalty, who erected a monument in honor of this true and patriot. Crispus Attucks, which ought to be admired by all loyal Americans regardless of color or creed. The negro has always been loyal to the Stars and Stripes and cost such a little patry sum as his own life or the destruction of his whole family, but we ought to at least be recognized as human beings of not as men and please keep fresh in your memories the events of the Spanish-American War, and the British troops were a feast for the eyes of the gallant rough riders with Teddy Roosevelt at her head, at the battle of San Juan hill, of which every intelligent American that can understand the English language knows what would be the colored soldiers, is it a wonder that the French government is grabbing the black man for her army? They want men that they can depend on and can fight as good if not better than her own soldiers that can stand up to the most difficult battles and let all be friends and work together for the best interests of America, the grandest country on the face of the globe. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS MEETING. NIGHTS OF PYTHASIA MEETING The Fifteenth Biennial Session of the Fifth National Encampment of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythasin N. A. S. A. E., E.

Some Noted Vocalists of the Race Who Have Erinced Their Ability as Interpreters of Classical Music—Success of Mrs. Daisy Tayley and Miss Milda Brown. If I were called upon to write a dissertation on the beneficent art of music as it has impressed me from the lips of some great vocalists and the fingers of some gifted musicians whom I have heard, I would be compelled first to quote the words of one of the past masters in that art who once said, "I care not who makes the laws of the people, but let me make their songs." Away back in the wilds of Egypt the natives caught the sound of sweet music in the wind as it whistled through the reeds on the banks of the river Nile. Music is coeval with the river Nile, and references to its sublime influence and consoling power are found in Holy Writ, from which we learn much of A. the musical preachyfties of the Hebrews. In Rome music as an art was borrowed from the Greeks, and while she stood in the pride of superiority as the mistress of all nations music was exulted to excess. We can well imagine its power of tenacity as we gaze upon that awful scene when Rome was on fire and her emperor, unmoved by the great calamity, which meant death to the inhabitants and destruction to the city, sat upon the heights fiddling over its ruins. Malirab, Alboni, Jenny Lind, Lucca and Cary need no monument to preserve to human memory their gifted volces. But the history of the Negro's part in the music of modern times has not so far been written. The names of such sweet singers as Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, known all over America as the "Miss Dell," Marie Mare Sloca, Ann Madhul and Eunina Louise Hyers, Florat Baton-Bergen, Sergei Strokes, Mme. S. E. Hackley, Mrs. Clough and Henry T. Burleigh are sufficient to warrant the Negro's claim to high class music. Among the many cultured Afro-American women of today who are devoting much time to the art and teaching of music in New York and to the singing of the singer who has traveled extensively in Europe and America. Mrs. Tapley completed her studies under private tutors and has A. E. appeared before many cultured audiences in old German, Italian and English songs. For the past two years she has devotedunch time to pino and voice culture, with classes in and out of town. Another young musician and outfitter, who attracts many brilliant audiences of both races by her melodious voice is Miss Minnie Brown of New York, who, with Mrs. Tapple, appeared in a high class musical at Mother Zlon church, in West Eighty-ninth street, New York, a few nights ago under the auspices of the Pastors' Ald society. They were recalled time and again as they sang "Popples and Rosemary" and creole love songs. Miss Brown halls from Spokane, Wash, and will tour with the Bert Williams company the coming season. The Inner Life Must Be Changed Alm of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua In Course of Erection at Durham Under the Supervision of Dr. James E. Shepard. Wealthy Men Co-operate. Experience has shown and history bears witness to the fact that in every crisis of a race or nation God always has in reserve a man or person to meet the emergency. While Afro-Americans have made commendable progress along most all lines of human endeavor to uplift themselves, no particular effort has heretofore been made to give the young men and women of the race such religious training in toto as would fit them for the best possible service to themselves and the race. He has been a friend of Durham, N.C., to erect a national religious training school and Chautauqua at Durham for the above purpose has met with almost universal approval and is an assured fact. Dr. Shepard says, "Make a man practically religious and the industrial and educational side will take care of itself." His plans for such a movement, similar to Winona Lake in Indiana and the Moody Bible School at Northfield, Mass., he sets forth as follows: First. To train men and women in the Bible school and with this life changed send them to change others. Second. Also planned to have a literary department especially adapted for the filiterate minister. The ministers of Norwegian and American race for the next three or four generations will remain so. There are about 30,000 of them in the United States. A safe place for them to be educated, leaving 27,000 yet to be DR. JAMES R. SHERPARD. reached. Themen 2,000 largely control the future of 8,000,000 people. In many instances these ministers are seeking the light. They cannot spend a long time in college and hence a practical course must be arranged to suit their needs. They must be made discontented with the old way and seek a better one. Third. - A special course for Sunday school teachers. The Sunday schools will be the largest and most potent force in shaping the race, and they the schools already established are neglecting it. The hope of the race lies in the activation of the young. Specially trained teachers must do the work if it is to be effective. A course covering a definite period will bring the only perma- Fourth.-Settlement work will be attempted in several communities and the results given to the public. Fourth.-Settlement work designed for the training of young men and women to do the work required by the Young Men' Christian association will be established. Fifth.-Settlement work ready for service this great arm of helpful work will do more for the masses. President Taft, ex-President Roebelt, governors of various states and prominent men of the country have highly commended and indented the movement. A site of land consisting of twenty-five acres in one of the most beautiful locations in the city of Durham, N. C., has been given for the erection of the school. Upon this site the school will be located consisting of two dormitories, auditorium and administration buildings, which will cost between $15,000 and $20,000 each.

WESTERN NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETING. The regular annual meeting of the Western Press Association held its meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last week While in number of attendance it was not much of a success for only about twelve actual editors and newspaper journalists in Kansas City, Mo., attendance was small, perhaps to the fact that it was not sufficiently well advertised and the counter attraction of the K. of P. was so great and interesting all of these with the Grand Masons Lodge of Kansas meeting in Kansas City, Kansas, all the time. Yet it was a good meeting, especially the last day for all the papers and addresses appealed to the intellect and very interesting. The principal feature of the association was the opening prayer by Rev. John Jacobs, pastor of the M. B. Church of Kansas City, Mo., and the following committees on resolutions. R. E. L.

Address to the community First, let us clear up from past experiences and using them as a guide for us in the present and future welfare of the race we can see a ray of hope and better things for the negro race in North America. (While in South America, Canada and Mexico they are making progress in the fight against the number of crime among our criminal element, the reducing of the number of lynchings, with a larger per cent of our children in the common public high schools and colleges with a lower per cent of our children, with more of our youth entering the organized and skilled labor unions, with the recent Georgia discussion regarding the colored firemen, giving them equal pay with other firemen, all point to general gradual, but sure advancement along all lines. Second, that we urge our people in every community to acquire property learn a trade, enter into business, live a good moral life, create a friendly and neighborly feeling with your caucasian brethren, thereby cementing the chain of friendship with will be Third, while the race has gained, but little of her equal political rights denied them, yet the settling of the crown was not accomplished.

RED OAK, IOWA (Special to Bystander.)—Thank God, there is a new nation who will have a more good in a black man and recognizes this fact not from merely guess, work, but from actual experience, if she has a blot on the pages of her history for the imprisonment of one of the most infamous men that ever adorned a uniform, as emblem of his official duty. Toussaint L. Lautour, statesman, soldier and martyr, who was never conquered by any other, has been adorned with all her battleships and brave soldiers to conquer and subdue this great fighter, with a loss of many lives in the struggle. Napoleon who became jealous of this great general, starred in the French Revolution, never accomplished his aim because of superior generalship and intelligence, but in order to end the struggle they resorted to KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAIS MEETING. The Fifteenth Biennial Session of the Supreme Lodge and Court and the Fifth National Encampment of the Union, Army, B.A. and A. A. held a largely attended and very successful meeting in Kansas City, Mo., last week, lasting from Aug. 22 to 29, inclusively. There were delegates and representatives from nearly every state in the Union, and even from other states. There were bands and several hundred uniform rank. In fact, 4,000 colored soldiers camped in military order at Camp Caruthers at Eighteenth and Indiana avenue, with Major General R. R. Jackson in command. The arrival delegates included members of the rank bands was one of the greatest bounties to behold; the famous Eighth regiment of Chicago, with her band of forty pieces and with 464 men on a special car; the special train from Richmond, Va., of twelve coaches with the band of forty pieces and with John J. Mitchell, Jr., with other bankers, onjoyed, was a great sight. In the band contest for $700 prizes in the largest convention hall, seating 15,000 people, nearly full, was another sight to see. The Eighth Band Band was a $100 prize, and St. Louis, Mo., crack band the third prize. The sessions were very harmonious and on Friday the greatest parade of colored soldiers and Sir Knights ever seen in America lasting one hour passing a given point.

Some Noted Vocalists of the Race Who Have Enriched Their Ability as Interpretors of Classical Music—Success of Mrs. Daisy Taquley and Miss Munie Brown. By N. B. DODSON. If I were called upon to write a dissertation on the beneficent art of music as it has impressed me from the lips of some great vocalists and the fingers of some gifted musicians whom I have heard, I would be compelled first to quote the words of one of the past masters in that art who once said, "I care not who makes the laws of the people, but let me make their songs." Away back in the wilds of Egypt the natives caught the sound of sweet music in the wind as it whistled through the feeds on the banks of the river Nile. Music is coeval with music in the mountains, references to its sublime influence and consoling power are found in Holy Writ, from which we learn much of MRS. DAISY TAPPEL. the musical preclivities of the Hebrew. In Rome music as an art was borrowed from the Greeks, and while she stood in the pride of superiority as the mistress of all nations music was exalted to excess. We can well imagine its power of tenacity as we gaze upon that awful scene when Rome was on fire and her emperor, unmoved by the great calamity, which meant death to the inhabitants and destruction to the city, sat upon the heights fiddling over its ruins. Maillan, Albon, Jeunny Linda, Luca and Cary need no monument to preserve to human memory their gifted voices. In the history of the Negro's parish in the music of modern times has not so far been written. The names of such sweet singers as Elizabeth Taylor Greenchild and Kate Swain" Annie Pauline Pindle, Mme. Marie Sileka, Anun Madhah and Eunna Heyers, Flora Basson-Bergen, Sissierre Jones, Mme. S. E. Hackley, Mrs. Clough and Henry T. Burleigh are sufficient to warrant the Negro's claim to high class music. Among the many cultured Afro-American women of today who are devoting much time to the art and teaching of music, the Negro is a gifted contralto singer who has traveled extensively in Europe and America. Mrs. Tapley completed her studies under private tutors and has A. E. appeared before many cultured audiences in old German, Italian and English songs. For the past two years she has devoted much time to piano and voice culture, with classes in and out of town. Another young woman who has captivated many by her music and vocals is Miss Minnie Brown of New York, who, with Mrs. Tapply, appeared in a high class musicia at Mother Zion church, in West Eighty-ninth street, New York, a few nights ago under the auspices of the Pastors' Ald Society. They were recalled time and again as they sang "Poppies and Rosemary" and creole songs "Brownies" and "Bokhoe Wash," and will tour with the Bert Williams company the coming season. The Inner Life Must Be Changed Aim of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua In Course of Erection at Durham Under the Supervision of Dr. James E. Sheard. Wealthy Men Co-operate. BY GEORGE F. KING. Experience has shown and history bears witness to the fact that in every crisis of a race or nation God always has in reserve a man or person to meet the emergency. While Afro-American have unavoidable progress along most all lines of human endeavor to uplift themselves, no particular effort has heretofore been made to give the young men and women of the race such religious training in toto as would fit them for the best possible service to themselves and the race. The idea of Dr. James E. Sheard of Durham, N. C., to erect a national religious institution for the purpose of atrium for the above purpose has met with almost universal approval and is an assured fact. Dr. Shepard says, "Make a man practically religious and the industrial and educational side will take care of itself." His plans for such a movement, similar to Winona Lake in Indiana and the Moody Bible School at Northfield, Mass, he sets forth as follows: First—To train men and women in the Bible and life and with this life changed send them to change others. Second—Also planned to have a literary department especially adapted for the illiterate minister. The ministers of New York and New Jersey will be for the next three or four generations will remain so. There are about 30,000 of them in the United States and about 20,000 are educated, leaving 27,000 yet to be C. W. DR. JAMES R. SHEPARD, reached. These 27,000 largely control the stances of the schools and the stances of the ministers are seeking the light. They cannot spend a long time in college, therefore practical course must be made. The course must be made discontented with the old way and seek a special course for Sunday school teachers. The Sunday schools will be the largest and most potent force in the schools already established are neglecting it. The hope of the race lies in the schools already established are trained teachers must do the work if it is to be effective. A course covering a definite period will bring the only perman- Fourth.-Settlement work will be attempted in several communities and the results given to the public. The work will be designed for the training of young men and women to do the work required by the Young Men' Christian association will be established. With properly trained personnel, the great arm of help with work will do more for the masses. President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt, governors of various states and prominent men of the country have highly commanded and indented the movement. A site of land consisting of twenty-five acres in one of the most beautiful locations in the city of Durham, N. C, has been given for erection of the school. Three large structures, consisting of two dormitories, auditorium and administration buildings, which will cost between $15,000 and $20,000 each. Mr. Brodle Duke donated the site for the school, and thousands of dollars have been already subscribed. General Julian S. Carr, who is one of the wealthiest men in the south, has accepted the office of treasurer of the trustee board. The advisory committee consists of the following prominent men: Mr. C. G. Moore, Jr. C. G. Moore, J. C. Prichard, Asheville, N. C. General Julian S. Carr, Durham, N. C. Hon. N. B. Broughton, Raleigh, N. C. Senator Lee S. Overman, Washington; Rabbi Abram Simon, Washington; Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, New York city; Dr. Floyd A. Tompkins, Philadelphia; Mr. John L. Williams, Richmond, Va.; Dr. H. M. Hamill, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. John A. Earle, Chicago; General B. W. Green, Little Rock, Ark.; Dr. K. M. Mason, Lincoln; Dr. J. B. Dulley, Durham, N. C.; John Merick, Durham, N. C. Pioneer Social Club's Outing. The Business Men's Pioneer Social club of Jersey City held its annual outing at College Inn pavilion, North Beach, N. Y., a few days ago and had an enjoyable time.

Brun, the French minister of war, has a sharp eye on recent developments affecting military science. He declares belief in the efficiency of the aeroplane and the submarine as war instruments in the future. Thus he affirms confidence that the principal fighting hereafter will be in the air or under the water. There is much of late occurrence to warrant such an opinion. Confidence in the immediate future is revealed by the fact that a big ship-building company has received an order for the construction of a steel freighter 524 feet long, with a carrying capacity of 9,000 tons. Many costly documents of this description have been lying idle this year, on the Great Lakes, but investors know that when business brightens there will be a brisk demand for all the tonnage afloat, and that others will be trying to place "rush orders" for new boats. The Jews who suffered during the recent uprisings at Kishnef and other places in Russia will not have died in vain if the appeal of the Russian ministry, signed by Premier Stolypin, for an amelioration of the condition of the Jews brings from the czar a modification of the restrictions now imposed upon a persecuted and abused people. The day is not distant in Russia when such occurrences as recently blackened the history of that nation will be regarded with horror. Has anybody found a missing balloon?

An airship of this style broke from the moorings at Mount Weather, Va., the signal service observation station, floated off at a height of a mile or more and has not been seen since.

The convention of cattle breeders of the United States which has been called to meet at Denver next January will have for its chief topic the rising price of beef. There is said to be danger that meat will go to prohibitive prices, and this the cattle men are anxious to avoid. Effort will be made to reawaken interest in the ranching industry, which has fallen off of late. The effort will be viewed with favor by all who relish that diet which is referred to in the Scriptures as food for strong men. The best authorities on the subject estimate that Minnesota and the two Dakotas will have a wheat yield this year of 235,000,000 bushels, which is far above the average. At prevailing prices this crop will bring $300,000,000 or $165,000,000 more than last year. There is no manner of doubt as to agricultural prosperity in that quarter. SCORES OF DETECTIVES HUNT LONE ROBBER OF PENNSYL VANIA EXPRESS. Lincoln Cents Mistaken for Gold by Highwayman, Who Shoots Conductor, Wishes Crew Good Luck and Flees in Mountains. Lewistown, Pa.—Detectives by the score Wednesday began running down every claw that may lead to the capture of the lone bandit who early Tuesday morning stopped a Pennsylvania express train with dynamite and at the point of revolvers robbed it of several thousands of dollars, including a great big bag of Lincoln pennies which he thought were gold coins. When the conductor of the train attempted to interfere with the robber's plans he was shot in the hand and the bandit succeeded on escaping. In the darkness, however, he mistook a bag containing 10,000 new Lincoln pennies for gold coin and triggered away with it, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered by the railroaders. When the train was leaving, he called for "Good-bay and good luck; I hope to see you again." It is reported that in addition to the missing pennies several thousand dollars in currency was missing, but the express company officials refuse to announce the exact amount of their loss. When the news of the robber reached the railroad and express company officials they were deeply concerned at its boldness and immediately ordered every available device from the east and west to the scene in an effort to capture the audacious bloodhounds were also put on his track. The looted train was made up of an engine, three express cars and two sleeping coaches filled with passengers. At about 1:30 a.m. it was running through Lewiston narrows, a wild and lonely mountain gorge through which flows the Junlata river, when suddenly a dynamite cap exploded and the engine driver brought the train to a standstill. When he looked out to see what the trouble he was confronted with a mated figure hid in the engine in either hand. "Are there any mail cars on this train?" demanded the highwayman. "No," was the reply of the started engineer. The engine crew then was forced at the point of the gun to accompany the robber to the first express car, where the messenger was looking out to discover the cause of the sudden stopping of the train. A revolver was pointed at the messenger's head and, threatening to blow up the car with dynamite, the robber took the express cars and senters the car to carry all the gold and bullion stacked in the first car to the side of the tracks. Conductor J. R. Poffenberger of Harrisburg, Pa., who came up while this work was being accomplished was ordered back by the bandit, who emptied one of his revolvers at him, one of the shots penetrating his hand and the others grazing his body. The express messenger of the train says there were five large iron safes in his car, each contain an abundant sum of money, but he did not see much, as they had been locked at Washington and could only be opened by sub-treasury officials at St. Louis. He had two rifles at the end of his car but could not get at them after he had opened the door and had been covered by the robber's revolver. NUNS FAIL TO SAVE SEVEN Children Perish in Orphanage Flames Despite Heroic Rescue of 750 Other Inmates. New York—Firemen making a casual survey in the buildings of St Malachy's Catholic orphan asylum, Rockaway park, over which the smoke of a dead fire was hanging Tuesday, came upon the charred bodies of seven children. News of the discovery shocked the little community, because it had been assumed that all the 750 or so of little ones who were in the orphanage Monday night had been saved by the heroism of the Sisters of St. Joseph and near-by residents. It was proved by the discovery that when the sisters ran to the head of the lines formed for five drill children in the rear ranks, dressed with fear, acted as a dumb brushes. They plunged back into the flames, burrowing under mattresses or getting behind doors. Five children had concealed themselves under mattresses and two hid beneath clothes in a closet. All were suffocated, physicians say, before the flames reached their bodies. Harry Thaw Prison Librarian. Matthewane, N. Y.—In their search for regular occupation for Harry K.

RELATION OF UNITED STATES TO FIVE TRIBES REVIEWED. Demurrers in Eastern Oklahoma Title Cases Started by United States Are Sustained. Muskogee, Okla.—Judge Ralph Campbell has sustained the demurrers in the suits brought by the United States to set aside various deeds and leases made by citizen allottees in the five civilized tribes in eastern Oklahoma, and thus settled a legal controversy that had been the cause of considerable concern in that part of the state. The court reviewed the relation of the United States to the five tribes since they became a nation, and found that no vestige of title to the lands allotted them now remains in the United States. The demurrers involved the question of the citizenship of these Indians and the court declared them to be citizens of the United States with all the rights, privileges and immunities of citizenship. It is held that the United States cannot maintain these suits on the principle that it sustains to the individual Indian a trust relation, such guardianship being incompatible with citizenship, national and state. Finally the bills were held bad because numerous defendants are joined in each bill who were connected with many distinct transactions regarding as many distinct tracts of land. SEMI - CDNTENARY OF OIL Golden Anniversary of Drilling of First Well in World Celebrated at Titusville. Tittusville, Pa. Aug. 28—Fifty years ago today petroleum was struck in the first oil well ever drilled. The momentous event took place on what is now known as the Emory farm, just south of Tittusville, and today this city is celebrating the golden anniversary in fitting style.

SAMUEL GOMPERS REBUKED Is Informed That European Labor Doesn't Care for His Opinions — Austrian Getz Sarcastic. Paris — American labor and Samuel Gompers, head of the federation in the United States, received a sting in rebuke in the International Trade Unions congress Monday when European delegates, in the presence of Mr. Gompers, denounced what they termed America's equivocal attitude toward joining the international movement. Mr. Gompers needed all his old time energy to repel the attack. He insisted problems of police of American trade unionism were set intermingled with American traditions and ideas that Americans could ill spare the time to encounter the influence of European leaders where the trades unionism tendencies were temperamentally different. Nevertheless, as an evidence that the United States was anxious for international co-operation, Mr. Gompers proposed a proposal favoring world wide organization which would "defend the rights and interests of all." The clash came over the question of the exact status of Mr. Gompers and the American Federation of Labor in the conference. Mr. Gompers explained that for the present he was merely an auditor but was ready to give his opinions. It has been the aspiration of the American workmen to come into closer contact with the working class rope, as they were profoundly attached to the cause of solidarity of labor. Hueber, an Austrian delegate, vehemently characterized Mr. Gompers' explanation as mockery. He, like the others, had been under the impressions of the press, andness and that Mr. Gompers was the official delegate from that country.

Cuticura Proved a Great Success. "Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were red.

Potter Drug & Chem, Corp, Sole Props, Boston In all Fight Against Tuberculosis. Prevention of tuberculosis versus dividends is the proposition which some of our largest insurance companies are now trying to establish.

Several fraternal orders, notably the Modern Wooden Knights of Pythias, Royal League, Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Circle, have already established or are contemplating the erection of sanatorias for their tuberculous members. The Ever Changing Waist Line. The Ever Changing Waist Line. Consider the mental agility it takes to keep up with one's waist line. One goes to bed at night in the sweet assurance that it will be under the arms for the next two or three months at any rate, and awakes to learn from the headlines in the morning paper that it is positively at the knees. There is absolutely no use in prognosticating anything about it any longer. That the waist line occurred at the waist was an axiom accepted as unquestionably as that the earth revolves on its axis, but in these days of higher criticism it is likely to be anywhere. It bloweth where it listeth.—Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, in American Magazine. No infallible Method. A leading mathematician of France gives another warning that is no infallible method of doubling one's stakes after a loss.

IT WORKS The Laborer Eats Food That Would Wreck an Office Man. Men who are actively engaged at hard work can sometimes eat food that would wreck a man who is more closely confined. This is illustrated in the following story: "I was for 12 years clerk in a store working actively and drank coffee all the time without much trouble until after I entered the telegraph service. "There I got very little exercise and drinking strong coffee, my nerves were unsteady and my stomach got weak and I was soon a very sick person. Just last I stopped eating everything which I thought might affect me except coffee, but still my condition grew worse, and I was all but a wreck. "I finally quit coffee and commenced to use Postum a few years ago, and I am speaking the truth when I say, my condition commenced to improve immediately and today I am well and can eat anything I want without any bad effects, all due to a healthy diet." I told my wife today I believed I could digest a brick if I had a cup of postum to go with. "We make it according to directions calling it full 20 minutes and use good rich cream and it is certainly delicious." Look in piks, for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

The first thought in painting should, of course, be durability—and durability means simply pure paint properly applied. Pure paint is pure white lead and lined oil (with or without tinting material). Some years ago the paint-buyer was likely to be interested on counterfeit white lead if he was familiar with brands. To-day he may buy with perfect safety if he only makes sure that the Dutch Boy Painter trademark is on the packages of white lead that he buys. This trademark was adopted by National Lead Company to distinguish the pure white lead made by them from the adulterated and fake goods. It is a guarantee as valuable to the house-owner as the education of a paint expert could be. About Time. Dorothy—can I have some water to christen my 'diamma'? Mother—Oh! no.
