Jeffries in the Fourth of July in Reno, Nevada in the round or by knocking him completely or by the still holds the belt of the world's championship undisputed. The fight Monday was the greatest fight from attendance and financial interests that the world has ever recorded. Millions of dollars exchanged hands, men were made rich and poor, within one hour during this memorable hour the battle was waged by two giants but the colored armored to be Jeffries superior at every game, the game, he held him as a little child and could hit him at will. Johnson is adoubtedly the most skilled fighter, that ever dawned a glove. Thus we plainly see that when individual members of our race is given half a chance in America they prove the equal to the best of the Anglo Saxton and often their superiors. We have proven this fact in the pugilistic world, in the bicycle world, in the poetic field, in industrial education, in musical art, in the artistic painting, in oratory, in field of battle, in the long weary marches, in the North Pole, he was first to grab McKelvey assassin and today he is among the first in piece and to respect the star and strips. Then ought not the unbiased intelligent world give us our just merits and place the negro race on the pages of history where it should be.

BOOKER TO SPEAK Sunday Night, July 8th, at St. Paul's Church—Subject, "Care of Infants in Hot Weather." Rev. I. N. Daniels, the able and versatile pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, ever with the best interests of his people at heart, has secured Dr. A. J. Booker to address his congregation Sunday evening, July 8th. Concerned about the physical welfare of his people, as well as the spiritual, the pastor feels, with other thinkers, that the people need special education as to the care of the body, that it may be a perfect team, fit habitation for a small, servicing for perfection. Hence he considers himself especially fortunate in having intersted Dr. Booker, whose subject will be "The Care of Infants in Hot Weather." The subject is indeed timely. When mothers realize that a very great per cent of the deaths among babies could be avoided if mothers but knew and understood what to do, they will readily appreciate the service that Dr. Booker will render them. The Negro in materia medica wonderfully demonstrates his ability to serve his own and to compete with the white race, and Dr. Booker, especially ambitious to bring to his own race the very best, not only se- lects the great Northwestern university in which to complete his course, but after an internship in Providence hospital, special work in Wesley hospital, went to Europe to take his post course. Thus he is eminently fitted to bring to his audience a fund of valuable information. ly regret their departure and wish them much successs in their new home. Mr. David S.

Among them were Mr. Roy Watts of Clinton, the Misses Mary and Agnes Cissel of Fairfield, Mr. and Mrs. Crawford and children of Fairfield and three young gentlemen from Keoosaqua whose names we did not learn; and they were well paid for coming, as Washington had one of the best and finest celebrations ever gotten up. Mrs. Schofield, the evangelist, of Oskaloosa visited at the Rev. Williams' home last week. Mr. Tyler of Burlington visited Fred Williams a few days last week.

Harris of Galesburg Ill., spent Saturday and Sunday as house guest of Mrs. Andrew King, remaining over the Fourth to a select picnic given in her honor by Mrs. Arthur Wood, Mrs. David Stewart and Mrs. Andrew King. At the Sunday school session in the morning she addressed the school, saying this is not an inspection visit, but a pleasure visit, and yet pleased to meet the school in session as on the former occasions.

With all his faults, a fly doesn't bother one as much as does a mosquito. They are fighting in Nicaragua, but why they are fighting no one seems to know. Blondes are becoming fewer, according to statistics. So many are "letting it go back dark," nowadays. The individual census cards make a pile 16 miles high. And the man higher up presumably is the top card. A liberal supply of sentimentalism is good for a man; it keeps him from brooding over his non-performances. A St. Louis man chewed up a $5 bill with a sandwich. At that it was about as cheap as a piece of meat of corresponding size. Massachusetts woman wants a divorce because her husband keeps a live lobster in the house. Well, what's she been keeping? And now a Beloit professor will tramp in the African wilds. How does he know those cannibals will be able to discriminate between a professor and a missionary? A Chicago surgeon has discovered how to graft new extremities on the bodies of his patients. Science should, in this way, be able to assemble a man supervisor to the natural article. A man who started to cure by fasting one of the lilies that flesh is heir to has made the discovery that it cured all ailments in his case. Having become defunct he is free from all disease, even the fever called living. Because Chinese immigrants have been detained on Angel island, the Chinese residents have boycotted American goods. Just what their reasoning is, is difficult to understand. Evidently, however, they are trying to meet boycott with boycott. The thrifty Dutch also are buying large amounts of American bonds and other securities for permanent and safe investment. The Netherlanders are a canny group, and when they make a purchase of this kind it is pretty strong testimony to the excellence of the bargain. That Culebra cut is one of the great difficulties in constructing the Panama Culebra Lions reports that a vast mass of stone and mud has dropped into the excavated channel, involving a whole lot of extra work. But this is one of the contingencies that had to be considered, and American pluck and perseverance will carry the job through in the face of all obstacles. Physicians have succeeded in making the stethoscope and telephone so sensitive that the heart beats of a patient in London were distinctly transmitted to a seismologist on the Isle of Wight. It is expected that this will be of great use in enabling physicians to keep in more sensitive touch with their patients at all hours. The new battleship South Carolina has returned to Norfolk after a trip at sea for target practice with a new record with big guns, having made sixteen bullets in sixteen shots with the twelve-inch weapons. With a score like that to their credit the jackets of the South Carolina must come pretty close to the championship for good shooting. The ex.Shah of Persia appears to have settled for himself at least the problem of what to do with deposed monarchs. He is studying medicine and hopes soon to become a practising physician. And that is a much more honorable and commendable proceeding than dwelling spar in unilienedness or plotting revolutions against the Sultan. So even the exs' might imitate his example with much credit to themselves. Of course it is guesswork as yet, and no one will know the actual population of the United States. The national federal enumeration now progress shall be completed. But word comes from Washington that census officials, basing their opinion on what has been learned thus far, believe that the total for the country will be not far from 100,000,000, which will surpass most estimates made previously. A Chicago judge bars wife beaters from citizenship. He might also bar them up away from the rest of the world. Here's a man complaining because "his wife eloped with his best friend." Friend, perhaps, was just trying to prove it. When there are a few more flying machines the commuter who works in France and lives in England will have a living chance. It is early in the year for crop estimates to have much significance except as to winter wheat. The government's May I report of a winter wheat crop indicates that there has been distinct improvement since a month ago, when the figure was 80.8. The area under cultivation is 2.5 per cent in excess of that which contributed to the winter wheat harvest of 1899. These are encouraging statistics, after the exaggerated proclamations of the government caused by the April blizzard. MELVILLE WESTON FULLER CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER DEAD Aged Jurist Passes Away Suddenly at Sorrento, Maine. Bar Harbor, Me.—Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller of the United States Supreme court died from heart failure at his summer home in Sorrento at six o'clock Monday morning. The death of the chief magistrate was unexpected, as he had been in fairly good health lately, and there had been no premortality symptoms of any kind of trouble. Sunday he attended as usual and when he was at night he appeared in his customary health. Death came about six o'clock Monday morning. Hs.'s daughter, Mrs. Nathaniel Francis, and Rev. James E. Freeman, who was a guest of Justice Fuller's at his Sorrento cottage, "Main Stay," were with the jurist when he died. The funeral services will be held at Sorrento and the interment will be at Chicago. For many years the chief justice had spent his summers at Sorrento, a summer colony located on Frenchman's bay, five miles from Bar Harbor. A Great American. To Chief Justice Fuller fell the honor of third rank for length of service as presiding justice in the highest tribunal of the American government. For 22 years he was chief justice of the Supreme court of the United States. Chief Justice Marshall presided over the court for 34 years and was the first American to With the future rests the determination of his rank among the eight chief justices of history for ability and accomplishments. Before Grover Cleveland sent his name to the senate on April 30, 1888, for confirmation as chief justice, he was practically unknown except to members of the legal profession. In Maine, where he was born on February 11, 1883, he had been known as a well-behaved, rather scholarly lad. He had gone to Bowdoin college, and, after a womom most of the prizes for elocation. He had gone down to Harvard law school for one year. His Great Argument. From 1856 to 1888 he lived in Chicago, but attracted little attention outside his immediate circle of friends and associates at the bar until he undertook the defense of Bishop Cheney on a charge of heresy. His knowledge of ecclesiastical history and procedure astonished those who conducted the case, and his argument of the cause of the bishop before the supreme court of Illinois is referred to as the "suffragette seldom if ever surpassed in that court." He was a delegate to the national conventions of the Democratic party in 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880. The nomination of Mr. Fuller, then fifty-five years of age, was followed by a memorable contest in the senate. Inducing a Sneeze. Probably everybody has experienced the displeasure, if not actual pain, which comes from missing a sneeze. There is an easy way out of this if one happens to be out of doors at the time an dhe weather is clear. Just glance at the sun. There is something about the brightness of it that makes it seem like a irritating or whatever it is that is needed, and nine times out of ten if the sneeze has not got too far away it will come back.—New York Sun. Well Answered. A man advertised for a wife and requested each candidate to inclose her "carte-devise." A spirited young lady wrote to the advertiser in the following terms: "Sir, I do not inclose my 'carte,' for though there is some authority for putting a 'cart' before a horse, I know of none for putting one before an ass." Lectures for Country Pastures. The Mines Agricultural college proposes to establish lectures especially for country pastures. The judiciary committee, with its Republican majority, to which the nomination was sent April 30, held up the appointment until July 20. Then the committee reported it to the senate "without recommendation." For three hours that body debated in executive session whether to confirm or reject the nomination. The attack on Mr. Fuller was led by Senators Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart, Senators Cullom and Farwell defended him. The reports that he had been "copperhead" during the Civil war and that he did not possess the requisite ability as a lawyer were gone over. His Great Victory. Finally, by a vote of HI to 20, his nomination was confirmed. Since that day the entire court, as it then existed had passed away with the single exception of Justice Harlan. Of those prominent in the fight over his confirmation only Senator Cullom remains, and President Cleveland, who thus honored the Illinois lawyer, has thus gone to his grave. Throughout his service Chief Justice Fuller was noted for the dignity with which he filled the position. He preserved that manner on the bench or off. Although small of stature, not more than five feet seven inches, his wealth of silvery hair and classic features standing figure wherever he appeared. Chief Justice Fuller leaves an indible stamp on the laws of the country. Among his most famous opinions are the following: His *Famous Decisions*. The income tax decision, in which the income tax law was held to be unconstitutional. The Danbury hat case, by which labor unions were held to be amenable to the Sherman antitrust law. The Telegraph company versus the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in which the state was denied the right to tax telegraph messages, except when interstate. The Bank of Washington versus Hume, in which the insurable interest of the wife and children in the life of the husband and father was recognized as distinguished from the claims of creditors. Inman versus South Carolina Railway company, in which the railroad was denied the power to exempt itself from liability for its negligence in the shipment of goods. Moore versus Crawford, in which manpower were made to bear liabilities, such as those growing out of the fraudulent sale of land, as well as the legal rights. Leisy versus Haddin, in which the state was denied rights over original packages of liquor in interstate commerce, an opinion which led to the passage of the Wilson liquor law. Climatic Differences. On the coast of southeastern Alaska the average annual precipitation is about ninety inches and trees grow to a large size; in the central plateau, the precipitation is less than fifteen inches, including the melted snow, and the average size of timber is about two on the arctic slope, north of Rocky Mountain. In arctic conditions make forest growth together impossible, and those vast tundra are covered chiefly with moss, sedges and a few small shrubs.

It also is best to keep as near the head as possible when putting the harness on. Ways of the Wise Ret. Mystery of the Wine Hat.

The fond father held the manuscript while his son practised the oration. "Shall we permit the ruthless hand of the hydra-headed tyrant," cried the youth, "to—to—to—well, what is it?" The father was wrestling with the manuscript. "Oh, yes," he muttered, "here it is: 'trescente.' Go on."

CARPENTERS STRIKE Master Builders' Association will Employ Non-Union Labor CLAIM BREACH OF CONTRACT Boycott Affects All of the Important Building Operations Now Under Way in Des Moines. Others May Quit. Des Moines, July 8—Making good their promise given Wednesday members of the Master Builders' association Thursday discharged all union carpenters and will employ non-union men in their places. The boycott affects all of the important building operations now under way in Des Moines, as the association comprises thirteen of the largest contracting firms in the city. It is estimated that more than 200 union carpenters are idle. The lockout came as a surprise to the union men although they had been warned that such action was contemptu Trouble between the carpenters and the Master Builders' association has been imminent for months. The contractors have threatened a boycott repeatedly on the grounds of a violation of agreement by the carpenters. The carpenters maintain that they have no agreement and have paid little attention to the threat. The agreement which the contractors claim has been dishonored is the general rule which is the first of the trade rules adopted by the carpenters on April 1. It provides that "in case of any trouble or misunderstanding between the employers and our men, the differences shall be arbitrated and work shall proceed pending arbitration." The contractors allege that the carpenters have paid no attention to this clause of the agreement, although they are insistent on the clauses which provide for the wage scale, which is an advance over last year. They say that union men are frequently ordered to quit work when the attempts at arbitration have been made. The most recent alleged violation of the contract was the refusal of union carpenters to work on the Equitable building addition, where the Charles Weitz Sons company employs nonunion structural iron workers. This is the immediate cause of the present trouble. MRS. YOUNG IS HONORED Chicago School Superintendent is Made President of the National Association.

He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and at evening, before I put my boy to bed, I used them again and the improvement even in those few hours was surpassed. I was soon supposed to be so much less, used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son is now in his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never returned. I would recommend the Cuticura Soap, the CutiCochran, 1823 Columbia Ave, Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 20, 1998."

СЛАСК ДОНИЗОЛ J. A. JOHNSON WINS Defeated Jeffries in the Fifteenth Round at Reno. JEFF COULDN'T COME BACK Negro Blocked Old Champion's Blows at Every Stage of Fight, and He Went Dwn Under Rrain of Terrific Blows. Reno, Nev., July 6—James J. Jeffries was knocked out by Jack Johnson in the fifteenth round. Tex Rickard announced that the purse amoured to $121,000, instead of $101,000, each man having been given a $10,000 bonus. He also stated that the purse would be split sixty per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. The house amounted to $250,000. The white champion never seemed to have a chance from the opening of the battle, his opponent labbing him at will. I Reno, Nev., July 5—John Arthur Johnson, a Texas negro, the son of an American slave is the first and undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. James J. Jeffries, of California, winner of twenty-two championship fights, the man who never was brought to his knees before by a blow yesterday passed into history as a broken idol. He met utter defeat at the hands of the black champion. While Jeffries was not actually counted out, he was saved only from this crowning shame by his friends pleading with Johnson not to hit the fallen man again, and the towel was brought into the ring from his corner. At the end of the fifteenth round Referee Tex Rickard raised the black's arm and the great crowd filed out glum and silent. Jeffries was dragged to his corner bleeding from his nose and mouth, and a dozen cuts on the face. He had WRESTLING JAMES J. JEFFRIES. a black, closed eye, and swollen features and he held his head in his hands dazed and incoherent. Johnson walked out of the ring without a mark on his body except a slight cut on his lip, which was the opening of a wound he received in training. Not Even Championship Fight. Ring experts agree that it was not even a championship fight. Jeffries had a chance in the second round, perhaps, but after the sixth it was plain that he was weakened and outclassed in every point, and after the eleventh round it was hopeless. It was the greatest demonstration the ring has ever seen of the failure of a fighter to "come back" after years of retirement. The youth and science of the black man made Jeffries look like a green man. The Unconscious for a Week.

Parsons of Newton went in the ditch near Randall injuring Parsons and five others. great Jeffries was like a log. Johnson was like a black panther, beautiful in his alertness and defensive tactics. Jeffries fought by instinct, it seemed, showing his gameness and his great fighting heart in every round, but he was only the shell of his old self. The old power to take a terrible beating and bore in until he landed the knockout blow were gone. Johnson's Great Science. After the third round Johnson treated his opponent almost as a joke. He smiled and blocked playfully, guarding off the bear-like rushes of Jeffries with a marvelous science, now tucking a blow under his arm, again plucking it out of the air as a man stops a baseball. Out of the sea of opinions and arguments that bolster up this fight and made it the talk of the world, these pinnacles of facts have been cast up: The fight was on the square. Of that there was no doubt after the first round. There was no evidence or hint of the famous "yellow streak" on the part of Johnson. Johnson proved himself so absolutely Jeffries' master that experts such JACK JOHNSON as W. Corbett, the Australian sporting writer and ring expert, declared that Tommy Burns had put up a better fight against Johnson and that the black man was only playing with the other men. The end was swift and terrible. It looked as though Johnson had been holding himself under cover all the rest of the time, and now that he had measured Jeffries in all his weakness, he had determined to stop it quickly. In an instant, after the crowd realized the fight was over, the ring was stamped by a wild throng. The short end betting men were hilarious, but in the great mass of the spectators there was a feeling of personal loss. Hope had lived in thousands of breasts until the last minute, and now their idol had crumbled and this black man stood peerless. They could not help but admire him, and there was little animosity shown toward him. For the most part the people were silent, just readjusting things in their minds. Hundreds swallowed the bitter pill of heavy financial loss. Rickard in Statement. Statement of Tex Rickard, referee and promoter: "Jack Johnson is the most wonderful fighter that ever pulled on a glove. He won as he pleased from Jeffries, and was never in danger. I could not help but feel sorry for the big white man as he fell beneath the champion's blows. It was the most pittable sight I ever saw. As a matter of fact, I thought way down in my heart that Jeffries would be the winner of the fight. "The fight was won and lost when Jeffries went through the ropes the first time. This is official, the other knockdown does not count. It was this way: Jeff was brought to his knees and as he rose, dazed, Johnson hit him with a succession of lefts that sent him through the ropes. As he lay there several of his seconds caught hold of him and helped him to his feet. Under the rules of the game, which I have read thoroughly while certain people were saying that I couldn't referee a fight, this disqualified Jeffries and Johnson was the winner. "I thought the seconds were going to carry Jeffries to his corner. Instead they shoved him into the ring again to be beaten further while I was doing all I could in the confusion to stop the fight. "Jeffries could not hit Johnson and Johnson could hit Jeffries, when ever he pleased. Jeffries was not as good as the last time he fought." Eight Receipts $250,000.

Keeps Pulpits Empty as Congregations Cannot Pay Ministers MATTER DISCUSSED AT PERRY Rev. C. E. Lereau Elected Moderator and Rev. C. J. Wright, Clerk Of the Central District Baptist Association. Perry, July 7—Pulpits of strong Baptist churches in Iowa must remain vacant because the recent high cost of living makes it impossible for the congregations to pay the salaries asked by the ministers for the same reason, say the state officers of the Baptist convention. At the Central Baptist association which closed its sessions in Perry, it was found that out of thirty-seven churches in the central Iowa district there were ten that were without a pastor for that cause. The subject of the pastorless church was discussed considerably at the association meeting, and it was the conclusion that under present conditions these pulpits might have to remain vacant for some time to come. "It is impossible in these days of the high cost of living for congregations to pay the salaries that ministers must have to meet living expenses," said the Rev. S. E. Wilcox of Des Moines, state secretary of the Iowa Baptist convention, who attended the district association meeting and took part in the discussion. The problem of the rural churches was also discussed in this connection. The Rev. C. E. Lerean of Denison was elected as moderator of the Central District Baptist association and the Rev. C. J. Wright of Sac City as clerk.

Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me that is was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once and words express the wonderful results of her treatment. I have tried so many hair treatments that my hair was in a dreadful condition. Mrs. Perkins' first treatment proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp.

You certainly have discovered the true secret of beautifying the hair, and I wish you every success—and give you permission to use this letter and my own ideas. I feel that cannot too highly recommend it. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. 4 1-2 INCHES OF HAIR IN 7 TREATMENTS. Denver, Col., Aug. 13, 1909.

Philadelphia, Pa., May 5, 1908. Having taken scalp treatments from Mrs. T. D. Perkins for four months, I can say that it has been perfectly satisfactory in every way. When I began taking her treatment my hair was very short, harsh and stubborn and broke off close to my scalp. I was now long and pliable. I recommend to all to take Mrs. Perkins' treatment. I remain. Yours respectfully, ALICE PAGE. HER CLAIM IS BONA FIDE. To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Mrs. Perkins for nine years, and can testify that she did have short hair, as she says, until three years ago, when she began treatment on her own hair. In two years she grew it to the lengths illustrated in her picture. She is a reputable citizen and her business reputation in this city and state is a guarantee of straight dealing. C. A. FRANKLIN, Editor Denver Statesman. HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE HER Denver, Col., April 22, 1909. To Whom It May Concern: I find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madam Perkins, and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. Madam Perkins, for many years a resident of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favorably known women in our state. The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a tribute to her phenomenal success in her professional life. The wonderful growth of her own hair is remarkable testimony. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. Respectfully, DAVID E. OVER, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. HER HAIR GROWS ONE INCH A MONTH Denver, Col., Aug. 9, 1907. I have used Mrs. Perkins' scalp and hair treatments for seven months and it has given perfect satisfaction. My scalp is free from dandruff and my hair has grown six or seven inches. I highly recommend it to all who have scalp diseases. Monmouth, Ill., Oct. 26, 1908. Dear Madam, I received your letter and was glad to hear from you. I am very proud of the treatment that I have taken from you. The results are wonderful. You would hardly know that it is the same head of hair if you had it, am going to send and get another prey before long. I am proud to recommend your cure to all who wish to know your great work. My husband is very much pleased with the way my hair has grown. He thinks it is the best hair grower yet. Mrs. HATTIE HUMPHREY. STOPPED HAIR FROM BREAKING OFF. My hair was in a very bad condition when I began taking treatments of Mrs. Perkins in March, 1906. It would break off and was BYSTANDER & JB. CO., Publishers. DES MOINES.

After being under her treatment nine months my hair has taken new growth, my scalp is free from all dandruff and the hair is growing nicely. I am proud of my hair and I am confident I have any trouble with their hair or scalp to consult with Mrs. Perkins, for she can help all who are willing to carefully follow her instruction. MRS. A. B. WILLIAMS. 730 S. Weber, Colorado Springs. ALL TREATMENTS GIVE PERFECT SATISFACTION. Almosa, Col., Oct. 25, 1908. Dear Madam: I received the goods all right, which I presume you know by this time. I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment before writing. I also received your letter from Pueblo, and thank you very much for interest shown. Now as to your treatment, I used the red shampoo, and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say, it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head, (laugh). Now, as to your salve, it is the nearest thing to perfection I have ever used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. THE CROWN OF SUCCESS. A year ago the first movement was made of the wonderful success which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and it is her intention to give the benefit of her knowledge to the world at large. Being one of the best known women in this section of the country, already the news occasioned much comment, and many people who had known her for years, came to realize for the first time that the magnificent suit of hair she has now was the product of a very short time and that a bare three years ago she wore her hair in short curls, not braided and dressed as she now does. That success begets success, was evident from the start. Classes in the care of the scald and the beautiful beauty of the hair were filled at once. They grew in prodigious bounds and some weeks ago she was compelled to abandon her out-of-town classes altogether. She confines herself now to treatments at her home in the Highlands and to mail order business. In the special articles which will appear from time to time in this paper, we delight to call attention to success in various lines achieved by people of this city and state, both that there may be honor paid to whom honor is due, and also that proper appreciation and patronage may come to pleneers in business among us. Personal profit for themselves and example and encourage all go hand in hand in success won by the people. Even the mean spirited should not begrudge the one when so much is accomplished for the whole people at the same time. In her business Mrs. Perkins does not play the part of a charlatan, but sets forth clearly the possibilities of her work, and her greatest endorsement falls short of the stalking endeavor and thorough going knowledge she uses. We have seen her grow and grow, we know that she has succeeded and we, therefore, predict that in no great length of time she will be doing a business that will rival any mall order business conducted by a woman of our race in any department of endeavor.
