Who Has Done Great Work Among Them - Distinguished Churchmen. Probably no minister in Baltimore has made greater progress in church building during the past seven years than has the Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church. This young minister was converted at the age of fourteen under the ministrations of Rev. A. W. Ivey, pastor of Springfield Baptist church, Halifax county, N. C. He at once became an active church worker. After inboring in Richmond, Va., and Washington the Rev. Mr. Allen went to Baltimore and joined the Psalmist Baptist church, of which Rev. Junius Gray is pastor. He was soon elected REV. W. W. ALLEN. superintendent of the Sunday school and a member of the board of deacons of that church. Rev. Mr. Allen was ordained in 1902. With a few devoted men and women church property at George street and Clinton avenue was purchased eighten months ago. The church has been remodeled at a cost of $1,050. Realizing that a minister should be educated as well as consecrated and despite his arduous pastoral labors, Rev. Mr. Allen entered the Clayton-Williams university at Baltimore, where he was graduated a year ago. From Oct. 11 to the 18th the seventh anniversary of the church was celebrated. Pastors of other churches and prominent citizens participated in the wives' night. Unfettered tribals given the night to the pastor for the successful work which he has accomplished in so short a time. The festivities came to a close on Monday, the 18th, with a great reception in which this popular young minister was halted on every hand as a great worker in Israel. Pastor Allen was honored a month ago by being chosen president of the Baptist Ministerial union of Baltimore and vicinity. NOTED SCHOLAR AND ORATOR Rev. J. J. Durham of Aiken Praised by F. Forman, President, McKinley "The Band of God In the Affairs of Nations" is the title of a pamphlet of sermons and addresses delivered on various occasions and in many sections of the United States by the Rev. J. J. Durham, A. M. Rev. Mr. J. Durham, who ranks with the leading men of the race as an orator and scholar, is pastor of the Friendship Baptist church, Alken, S. C. He is a graduate of Fisk university and also of the Mehary Medical college at Nashville, Tenn. When the late President William McKinley visited Savannah, Ga. in the spring of 1901 the African American citizen delivered the welcome address to the president on their behalf. At the conclusion of the speech the president took Mr. Durham by the band and said, "That was one of the most beautiful and eloquent addresses I ever heard." Rev. Mr. Durham is expected north on Oct. 27, and the citizens of Brooklyn, where he has many friends, may have the good fortune of hearing him speak at some public function. As captain and chaplain of the first battalion infantry of Georgia state troops he won wide fame on account of his sound and patriotic utterances on questions of public policy. Westchester County Politics. The Afro-American voters of Westchester county, N. Y., are taking a lively interest in political affairs nowadays.

Speeches were made by the Hons. Henry Scherp and Receiver of Taxes John O'Brien. Resolutions were adopted indorsing candidates for both city and county officers. Over 200 voters were present from different sections of the county. No Kick if Law is Applied Fairly. The Afro-Americans of Maryland have no objection to a constitutional amendment to property qualification provided it applies to all, white and black alike. The Massachusetts law is good enough for us. By all means let us have it. But we do not want any jug handle law. If the law is applied equally to all we will have no kick coming—Afro-American Ledger.

The National Negro Bar association, under the leadership of Albert S. White of Louisville, Ky., president; and his able corps of officers, bids fair to organization. Although only organized last August, much has already been done toward forming auxiliary branches in every state in the Union. Albert S. White, president of the organization, is dean of the Central Law school, law department of the state university, Louisville, and has held this position since 1892. He is also a charter member of the white Bar association of Kentucky and president of the Kentucky Negro State Bar association.

He declared the post of United States revenue agent by President McKinley during his first term and one of the attorneys for Congressman Walter Evans, now federal judge in the western circuit of Kentucky, in the contest for Judge Evans' seat by Oscar Turner in 1890. At one time he was editor of the New South and for a number of years a paid writer on the Courier-Journal, the Commercial and the Herald, leading southern dailies. In late years he has been a constant contributor to the columns of the Evening Post. He has also published in Kentucky. He is engaged in general practice and is constantly called upon to handle legal cases in all parts of Kentucky and frequently in adjoining states. He was permanent secretary of the state Republican convention that nominated General W. S. Taylor for governor of Kentucky in 1903, being the only man ever elected to such a position, and has frequently been on the state Republican campaign trail. He was a member of advisory committees. Since the Harrison-Cleveland campaign he has stumped Kentucky for the Republicans in every state and national campaign, and he has often been ALBERT S. WRITE, ESQ. called into Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. He took a prominent part in behalf o President Taft and was beard for the Republicans in a number of states, besides writing a strong series of article for Republican policies in the Louisiana Post and other papers. The executive committee is strom and when completed will represen every state in the Union. The next meeting of the organization will be in Boston next August, and the officers and members of the body will spare no pains to make it in every way successful and creditable.

Protective Device When a telephone line is electrically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body. What would a fair be without an shrink? This year there will be no counting the losses, but a piling up of profits. Always bear in mind that there is no spot on earth east of the north pole. Now the American aviator will leave upon the cirrus clouds his fresh tobacco stain. Many persons are satisfied to know that the comet is there without waiting up nights to see it. California should preserve its big trees from forest fires and make the number trust forever jealous. It is confusing to say that the original college widow is dead. Originality is the long suit of all of them. If people are not more careful the death strip is going to interfere seriously with our census prospects. Though science denies that there are equineotical storms they have a way of coming along about that time. France is going to tax foreign automobiles brought in for pleasure runs, which may serve to call attention to the good roads of Germany and Spain. Bugs are eating the gum off the stamps in Washington. It may be necessary to make an appropriation to feed the bugs in order to save the stamps. Marrying a slightly*shelf-worn European nobleman to a large package of American dollars is a job which Cupid might well be glad to turn over to a syndicate. A man in a Connecticut town was sent to jail for persistently whistling the same popular tune. That long-abused and long-suffering worm, the public, has turned at last. A fountain pen in a New York man's pocket stopped a bullet and saved his life. Most fountain pens destroy all chances of the future life, with the average-tempered man. California is thinking of dividing itself into two states of normal size. This plan if carried out will give to the world the inestimable blessing of two distinct varieties of "native sona." Gulf ports are gaining in export trade faster than are Atlantic coast ports, wholly regardless of the perfectly good theory that lines of traffic are foreordained to run only east and west. It is reported by the minister of the treasury that Castro in the last part of his term took a million and a half of dollars from the national treasury. No wonder he was reluctant to lease such a good thing. In giving up his claims to the throne of Portugal to wed an American heiless, the prince of Bragaan sacrifices a very pale shadow to a beautiful and substantial reality. So the sacrifice is not as harrowing as it sounds. That Uncle Sam turns out a high grade of markmen is evident from the experience of the Atlantic fleet. When practice with the big guns has to be suspended because the targets have been shot to pieces the fact funnishes strong evidence that there would be straight shooting in battle. New progress brings new dangers. The surgeon of the French warship Descartes attributes seismic and eye tinting to the use of wireless tidegauge. The esema has appeared on the faces and hands of the seamen told off to work the apparatus. Therefore the surgeon recommends that in future use of the wireless apparatus precautions be taken to protect these parts of the body. Here is another discovery, and it has been made at a distance farther than the north pole. Observations by Prof. Percival Lowell, the Harvard astronomer, convince him that there is oxygen in the atmosphere of Mars, and from this he concludes that it is possible for life to exist on that planet as well as on the earth. Here is a chance for real distinction. What strap-inventor will fly to Mars and find out all about it? The Secondary report of the department of agriculture renews assurance that the leading grain crops will be large. The prospects are that the wheat yield will be 714,302 bushels against 644,604 last year, while corn is put down at 2,648,846,000, as compared with 2,668,651,000 in 1908. Other figures are: Oats, 1909, 1,008,000 bushels, 1909, 807,156,000 bushels; rye, 1909, 31,066,000 bushels; 1908, 21,551,000 bushels; barley, 1909, 170,648,000 bushels; 1908, 166,756,000 bushels. The public seems to have been educated into believing that rabies must inevitably follow a dog bite. With the victim in such a frame of mind, his body, cagebed by terror, becomes an easier prey. The New York state forest commisser is establishing telephone lines to the invulnerable for the care of fire wanderers. In extinguishing forest fires as well as others much depends upon getting an early start. The telephones are likely to more than save their cost. It is a remarkable fact that it has not happened sooner and often. A young man on Long Island tried to commit suicide because he was compelled to listen to stories of the wonderful sayings and dolls of a child in the family. As if the disasters to Messina and in Catafina were not enough, a town in Sicily has been wrecked by a eruption. The beautiful land of Italy appears to be siligned out for the most inexorable forces of nature to decompose. 4t CASHIER KILLS SELF OFFICIAL OF WRECKED BANK TAKES LIFE IN FIT UP DESPONDENCY. Dead Man Was Not Blamed for All leged Shortage in Bank—Mother-in- Law Falls Dead When She Sees the Body. Mineral Point, Ws.—The body of F. E. Hansche, cashier of the wrecked First National bank of the city, was found Monday resting in the grave of the family plot of the local cemetery, he having ended his life by shooting. Mrs. John Gray, aged 80, mother-in-law of the dead banker, and to whose home Hancome's body was removed from her son-in-law body was brought in. Hanschew had been missing for several hours, but no alarm was expressed until inquiry at the bank and various other places about town failed to reveal his whereabouts. A searching party was finally or ganised with the result that the body of the dead banker was found lying over the great hill and another. Hanschew was 55 years old and had been despondent for some time past. He was never known to take a vacation. He leaves a widow and two grown daughters, one a teacher in a public school at Milwaukee and the other a student at the Milwaukee Normal school. Hanschew's heavy losses and worry over the fact that he had told depositors shortly before the bank failed that he had right are said to be believable for his act. The dead cashier had been connected with the First National bank since its organization in 1884, andate diving-President Allen in point of service. He began as bookkeeper and teller, and carried much of the bank's responsibility on his shoulders. He had a reputation of strict honesty. The bank, for a generation regarded as one of the strongest in southwestern Wisconsin, was closed a week ago after a week's investigation of the books by Bank Examiner Goodhart. In an attempt was made to keep the institution on its feet by the sale of mining property in which Allen was interested, but the deal fell through. It was alleged that the bank had been tooted of $200,000 by means of notes forged by Allen. Allen's chief aid in running the bank was Hanscome. The former became seriously ill when the bank was closed, and Hanscome devoted every minute of his time to assisting Examiner Goodhart in straightening out the books. When Receiver Schofield took charge last Thursday rumors which could not be confirmed had it that the loss to depositors would run greatly over $200,000.

IS NOT AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY Court Finds that Purchase of the Majority Stock of Mutual by Iowa Company is Permitted by State Law. Des Moines, Oct. 21.—There will be but one telephone system in the city of Des Moines. The injunction asked for by the minority stockholders of the Mutual Telephone company to restrain the consolidation of the two systems in operation at the present time, was denied by Judge McHenry of the district court.

The opinion contains five thousand words. It was written immediately after the case had been submitted. Judge McHenry in denying the injunction against the merger declared that such a merger is not against public policy and is expressly permitted by the laws of the state. He also showed the articles of incorporation were such as to permit of such a transaction.

An action of this kind is anticipated, for attorneys for the minority stockholders of the Mutual company stated that they will appeal the case immediately. BELL GETS IOWA CITY 'PHONE.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: "My husband's health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. "He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give up in a few weeks. He suffered severely with stomach pain. "Tired of everything I had been able to get for him to eat, one day seeing an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, I got some and tried it for breakfast the next morning. "We all thought it was pretty good although we had no idea of using it regularly. But when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape-Nuts. "It was the same next day and I had to get it right along, because when we would get to the table the question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts? was a question.' I began to buy it by the dozen pigs. "My husband's health began to improve right along. I sometimes felt offended when I make something I thought he would like for a change, and still hear the same old question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts?' "He got so well that for the last two years he has hardly lost a day from his work, and we are still using Grape-Nuts." Read the book, "The Road to Wellville," in pikes. "There's a reason."

NEWS FROM the CAPITAL Liquor Men to Reform Their Business Senators May Keep Themselves Clean WASHINOTON—There is not yet that absolute trust in the weather bureau that should exist, and if this were not true the loss in the recent West India hurricane, which came on schedule time, would have been much less. Ports in the storm district were warned of the approaching disturbances, and vessels in the extreme south Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico ports received advices 'to remain in harbor. The storm apparently had its inception near the middle islands of the Lesser Antilles, and moved thence westward over the Caribbean sea. In accordance with the weather bureau placed in safe harbor and shipped it in place of safety at all. The loss of life would have been much less in all probability had not the people who were warned disdained to heed the warning. There are really a lot of right-sizable people who believe that the weather is something to laugh at and have fun in, and a lot of other people, notably United States senators, who while in Washington direct all the operations on THE world do move. The liquor dealers of Washington are engaged in a reform as is a reform, say what you will or may. They propose to have liquor vended in the national capital in a perfectly ladylike way, and it please you the Retail Liquor Dealers Association is at the head of the reform. Among the important features suggested as the future policy of the Reform Liquor Dealers' association are the strict observance of the regulations now in force by the excise board, the partial elimination of the "grower", nothing to be sold in this form to wagon drivers or other pass-byes, the dozing away with the free lunch except a screened bowl of cheese and crackers, the free lunch being an unwarranted competition to regularly issued cheese and cheese and at the time calculated to be tary and a means of transmitting disease; the discontinuance of "cut prices" and brazen competition; the dozing away with large signs, and the removal of all kegs piled up in front of saloons as an advertisement of the volume of business being done. SENATE BATHS WHEN congress convenes in Washington the first Monday in December begrimed and perspiring senators emergent from the toll and dust of the senate chamber will no longer be forced to hurry home to "wash up" for dinner. Instead they will hide their desheered appearance in dark corridors and slip stealthily through the dusky subway to the $4,000,000 office building. Here baths, which rival those of millionaires' homes, are ready for the members of the upper law-making branch. In order to encourage the senators in the office, which tends to purify, the baths were made to exceed in elegance anything found in a senatorial home. A large room was set apart on the first floor of the building, marble EE McCLUNG, who played half back on the invincible Yale football team of 1811, has been elected by President Taft, to succeed Charles H. Treat as treasurer of the United States. Mr. McClung, who is treasurer of Yale university, took up his work in Washington November I. Through his work at Yale Mr. McClung has been obliged to make New Haven his temporary residence, but his home is in Knoxville, Tenn. Besides doing important work in connection with the finances of Yale, Mr. McClung has had other valuable experiences in financial matters, having been connected with the Southern railway for a time and also other enterprises in his native state. Mr. McClung was probably one of the greatest half backs in college football, playing on the Yale team at the same time as the famous Hofheffinger. McClung and Hofheffinger that Yale went through the entire season of 1891 their farms and ranches by the weather bureau reports. Early in the morning senators and representatives begin studying the weather bureau maps. If the reports of the weather from the morning rain is impending in harvest time, a large force is ordered to work, by wire, and the manager told to hustle. If hay is to be cut and the weather bureau reports say "storm," the hay is not cut, but by wire the manager of the farm or ranch is ordered to hold the "hands" for an emergency call in the event of a storm. Brighter, particularly is the weather map studied in the winter by western ranch owners. United States representatives in congress have many of them much of their wealth in cattle, hogs, sheep or horses. A blizzard means untold loss to them. If the weather indications of that special locality are for bad weather, the farmer is rounded up where they may be cared for indefinitely in case the storm breaks. Indeed, although not perfect by any means, the weather bureau prognostications have saved the people of the country millions of dollars a year, and would save them yet other millions if the people would but heed the warning. It is a common thing to say: "What does the morning paper say? Rain? Well, I will put my umbrella away. No rain to-day." Just the same, five out of seven times the rain comes. No liquor is to be sold to a female over the bars, nor in private upstairs rooms or hallways; objectionable characters or language around saloons will be placed under the ban. Men known to be habitual drinkers or those in any way under the influence of liquor will be refused. Well, now, you know, all this might have been written by the W. C. T. U., and certainly it is a vindication of the hard work they have been doing for the betterment of large cities. To stop the "rushing of the growler" and the serving of liquor to women will go a long way toward that reform which all good, public-spirited people have long desired. There are absolute closing of all saloons from Saturday night until opening time the next Monday morning. Members of the association will aid the authorites in running down "speak-easies" and the bogus clubs. The members of the dissociation have held several conferences with Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of the police, and for the first time in the history of the capital the authorities and liquor dealers are working hand in hand to suppress the evil saloons. As a rule the capital's saloons are well regulated, but in the lower class districts there have been complaints and arrests of the police to wipe out. The association is backed by ample funds to carry out the reform at which it aims and Maj. Sylvester is glad to get its aid. floored and wainscoted with the purse of white stone. Into sections of this room have been fitted the baths, shower baths, Turkish baths, needle baths and other facilities for cleanliness which invite and even entice. Marble rooms, bound round with gilded steam pipes, beckon when the senatorial waistcoat and modest neck are hung up on solid metal hooks fastened in marble walls. In the rubbing rooms are two great marble walls, supported upon hand-stepped bases. These are wide enough to accommodate bases. A form of Senator Heyburn of Idaho, long enough for the tail Shivley of Indiana, and bounded around, by a forbidding ridge, which will keep from accidental fall the small and rotund form of Chamberlain of Oregon. It is not to be charged because the elaborate bathing facilities are provided in the senate office building that senators have not bathed before. Two plain tubs on the room where senators are shaven and trimmed at the expense of the government were available to senators or guests whom they desired to entertain, but they were seldom used. without being once scored against by a rival team. The Silly Astronomer. Mars was shining his brightest and rudest. He looked to be just a short distance away, and had the twinkling little stars far outclassed. So gorgeous was he that a couple of policemen who had been pacing their beats drowsily came to an abrupt halt at Fifth Avenue and Gist street, attracted by the glowing spectacle in the sky, and fell to discussing it. "They say that thing is more than 35,000 miles away," said one. "Ridiculous!" was the quick re-joiner. "Why?" "Because if it was you couldn't see it, you can't see nothing that's 35,000,000 miles away." "Well, that's what they say, anyhow." "They're crazy. Why, if you'd put a watermelon on the top of the court tower, you couldn't see if you were a couple of miles away." Then, to forever settle the matter, the sage concluded: "And look how much bigger a watermelon is than that meanly little star up there."—Pittsburg Gazette Times.

Beemed Imminent—Scalp Was Very Scaly and Hair Came Out by Hand-failure—Scalp Now Clear and New Hair Grown by Cuticure. "About two years ago I was troubled with my head being scaly. Shortly after that I had an attack of typhoid fever and I was out of the hospital properly after I first noed the loss of hair, my scalp being still scaly. I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. I was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and nearly a box of Cuticura Ointment, the change was surprising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas I had my mind made up to be bald. W. F.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages, and use of pomade would enable us to shuttle barb, kinky or curly hair, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length. As long as the Pomade woman is the hair, this result may be obtained by one shortrow application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition. Pomade women of large size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.
