S. F. for "Lifting as We Climb" Therefore, be it resolved that the I. S. F. of C. W. C. feel keenly the loss of this beautiful vital moving spirit, and co-incident with theirs, the J. S. Y. club of Cedar Rapids has lost a bright resourceful and progressive member, her church, a consistent christian, her home, a faithful loving patient and dependable soul, and her community a benign and wholly beneficent influence; Be it further resolved, that from having known her worth, true womanliness and great usefulness, the I. S. F. of C. W. C. the more deeply sympathize with the bereaved family in the loss of this choice spirit and commend them to the justice and mercy of Him whose ways are inscrutable Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions of condolence be sent the family, a copy sent to the Iowa State Bystander and one placed on the record of the Iowa State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.

CITY CONVENTION Resolution of Condolence DES MOINES IOWA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1914. THE LYCEUM. At the meeting of the Des Moines Negro Lyceum on Tuesday evening the present international conflict in the eastern hemisphere formed the topic of a general discussion, led by Atty. S. Joe Brown. Miss Iva McClain, who leaves this afternoon for Iowa City to continue her studies as a junior in the State university, was present and made her farewell address for the season. Misses Marie Bell, Edyth Jones and Lelia Smith were other visitors present. The next meeting will be with Miss Josie Roberts at 1051 Thirteenth street. The Rev. B. U. Taylor, pastor, and H. Gould, district delegate, accompanied by their wives and Miss Susie Lee, left Tuesday evening for Chicago to attend the sessions of the Chicago conference of the A. M.

Taylor carried with him the best report ever sent from the local church, showing the church proper entirely free from debt, with fifty conversions and 120 accessions, raising the membership to 375. During the past year there has been raised $3,500 for local purposes and $160 in dollar money sent to the annual conference, hence the officials of the church have requested Rev. Taylor's return for another year, as they are confident that under his efficient leadership they shall be able to erect a new church edifice. NEGRO SOLDIER'S VALOR IN THE PRESENT WAR. Below we publish a clipping sent us by an American white man which shows that all of our well wishers are not yet dead. So let my race work on doing their full duty and every time thinking men will honor and respect us. Africans Fighting With the Allies Prove Too Much For the Germans. Paris, Sept. 9.—A feature of Monday's action was another heroic charge by the Algerian riflemen. At a critical moment it became necessary to carry a certain position and after Δαμ αμ paυδαρ puq Δαμ αμ two thousand Algerians with fixed bayonet charged the position at double quick without flinching under the storm of shot and shell. They never stopped until they reached the trenches, where they wrought fearful carnage. Many pieces of artillery and machine guns were captured. After the Algerians came the infantry and artillery and the wedge driven into the line forced the Germans to retreat. They were pursued by the same Algerians who inflicted terrible losses. I wish you to publish it in The Bystander for the benefit of the colored race. The Negro soldier is just as brave in the European war as he was in the American war. I think this is a great credit to the colored race. Another item I wish you to note. I read a piece a short time since, when the European war broke out. The flower of the German army, 7,000 men were marching in Germany, led by a Negro drum major who was born in the South African colonies. I consider that another great credit to the Negro race. You would not see anything like that in America. Here we have too much prejudice. IOWA-NEBRASKA BAPTIST AS- SOCIATION MEETING. About eighty-five delegates attended the sessions of the Iowa-Nebraska Baptist Association held is this city last week. There were two delegates from Nebraska, the rest from Iowa. Three new churches were represented, from Waterloo, Cedar Rapids and Bear Creek. The meetings were very harmonious, and there was spiritual rejoicing from the beginning to the close. There were excellent sermons and addresses delivered. The missionary lectures by Mrs. T. L. Griffith delivered in the womens's convention attracted much attention. The sermons in the women's convention were delivered by Revs. J. H. Reynolds, G. W. Jackson, T. B. Woodard, V. S. Cooper, Rev. F. K. Nicholson and Dr. D. A. Holmes. The sermons in the associates were delivered by Revs. R. P. Palmer, J. W. Evans, R. C. Bolling, W. M. J. Northcross, W. F. Botts and Dr. G. P. Mitchell and Dr. M. Toomey, Dr. S. F. Wilcox and Mayor James R. Hanna delivered addresses. The Sunday sermons were delivered by Revs. V. S. Cooper and J. M. Eaves and the missionary mass meeting was addressed by Dr. Daniel Malekebu of British Cestral Africa. The officers elected were: Of women's convention—President—Mrs. W. A. Brown, Buxton, Iowa. First Vire President—Mrs. L. B. Burton, Omaha, Neb. Second Vice President—Mrs. J. M. Faxes, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Bates, Recordings Secretary—Mrs. F. Bates, Des Moines, Iowa. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. M. Tompkins, Centerville, Iowa. Treasurer—Mrs. James Bowles, Fort Madison, Iowa. Board members—Mrs. F. E. Render, Des Moines; Mrs. Lula Edgar, Colfax; Mrs. O. B. Smith, Oskaloosa. Of the association—Moderator—Rev. S. Bates, Des Moines, Iowa. First Vice Moderator—Rev. W. F. First Vice-Okawa, Neb. The Street Railway Franchise Is Now Up to the People The City Council has decided that the people shall pass on the franchise submitted by the Des Moines City Railway Company. Therefore, it is up to the people to decide whether or not they want an adjustment of the street railway problem. Des Moines is growing fast and will grow faster. This development will be unchecked if the street railway improvements respond to the demand of the times. With continued failure to have lines extended and service improved, the City must, in the end, suffer most. The franchise extends for twenty-five years, and the company waives all claims to a perpetual franchise. There will be a six-for-a-quarter fare immediately and a ten-for-a-quarter fare for children. High School pupils will also be carried for half fare. This means an immediate saving in carfares of 20 per cent for adults and 50 per cent for children and High School pupils. About eight miles of extensions will be built immediately for the people living in West Des Moines, South Des Moines and Highland Park. New terminals for the Inter-Urban Railway Company will be constructed at Second Street and Grand Avenue. The total cost of these improvements, exclusive of the Inter-Urban terminal, will be $1,500,000. Forty per cent of this amount, $6000,000, will go to labor. The people are guaranteed good service, for the regulation of the service lies entirely in the hands of two supervisors-one named by the City Council and the other by the Company. The City Council, therefore, has just as much to say about the service as the Company. There will be no "watered" stocks or bonds because stocks cannot be sold for less than par and bonds cannot be sold for less than their market value. Then, too, all the proceeds must be used for additions, improvements and betterments of the property of the Company. According to the terms of the ordinance all expenses of the special elections must be paid by this company. The decision with regard to this franchise must be read by the people who should realize that if Des Moines is to go forward in development, it must have street railway service—and that it will have street railway service if this franchise is adopted. Recording Secretary—Rev. T. L. Griffith, Des Mines, Iowa. Corresponding Secretary—Rev. W. M. J. Northcross, Buxton, Iowa. Treasurer—Rev. F. C. Bollisg, Enterprise, Iowa. State Missionary—Rev. M. J. Bnrton, Keokok, Iowa. Members Executive Board—Rev. F. B. Woodard, Buxton, Iowa; Rev. F. K. Nicholson, Davenport, Iowa; Rev. V. S. Cooper, Centerville, Iowa.

EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS Arriving in Creston on Monday, Labor day, we found the people paying but little attention to Labor day and working the same as any other day. Even the children were going to school. Creston is a beautifully located little town of about 9,000 people, with only a few colored people. Mr. C. F. Burnaigh, the veteran hotel man, who has been at the Summit hotel for more than a quarter of a century, is still with them and doing well. He has a beautiful home ans it is well kept. Ye Editor took dinner with his family. Mr. Marton, 516 Wyoming street, owns nice property and it is crowded with fruit trees that are bearing. Mr. Marton is an old settler here and well liked. The Baldwin brothers live about two miles out of town and are still farming. They have under their control about 500 acres of land. Their crops this year are doing fine and their farm is well stocked with the The Street Is Now The City Council has de DES MOINES CITY RAILWAY, By En G. Schmidt, President. best breed of cattle, horses and hogs and they ship their stock direct to Chicago. They are the most progressive farmers in Iowa that I know of and they have been on this farm about fourteen years. We next stopped at Clarinda. Here we found about 600 colored people in Page county. Some are farming and doing well. The Johnson brothers at Gravity are leading farmers here. They each own eighty acres of land. W. H. Johnson is a rural mail carrier and has been on that route for ten or more years and his wife is his deputy. His only son, Fred, is also a mail carrier and he has recently taken unto himself a wife, Miss Daisy Clay of Des Moines. They have recently built a new house in Gravity and will soon be installed. Mr. Richard Johnson owns a barber and valuable property in Gravity and has a lovely family. Some are in school and some have finished. Richard is doing well and is well liked by the people here. In Clarinda we found Mr. Wm. Headley still driving the ice wagon, a very responsible position. Mr. Headley's one of our leading citizens and well liked here. He owns a nice home. Mr. Joe Jones also owns a nice home and is working at the same place. Mr. H. H. Cook owns a grocery store and is still working at that. He is a good business man. Mr. R. T. Lane has recently built a new restaurant and rooming house near the depot and is doing well. We had a pleasant visit with C. F. Davis at the hospital, who is almost well. He will leave the Monday, September 14, to go to his home in Council Bluffs. The churches are doing nicely here. Rev. W. R. Mitchell is charge of the Baptist church and Rev. N. P. Morgan is holding the fort for the Methodist church. They both are experienced and good ministers. Mr. Allen Jones, who has lived here for many years and worked in the blacksmith shop, has moved to Omaha and gone into the undertaking business with Mr. Obee as a partner. He has not sold his beautiful home, but has rented out. Joe Howe is making the fairs with his racing steed. Mr. Nowling, Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Pemberton are working at the same place and are coming citizens. Noah Pemberton is on the mail force. Dr. Gibson is still practicing veterinary and has a good trade. R. D. Black is one of the coming young men here and is well liked. They have a splendid Dasonic lodge here and an Eastern Star. The lodge was just consecrated and the newly elected officers were installed under the supervision of the grand master. We next wandered into Red Oak and found the people about as usual. Mr. Oscar Conner is still in the barber shop business, where he has been for more than a quarter of a century. His health is somewhat improved. Mr. Wm. Hampton, the veteran U. S. LETTER NO.1. court bailiff, lives here and is doing well. Judge Smith McPherson is sick here. Mr. Pearl S. Everhart is still running the piano and music store. He has the distinction of being the only colored man in Iowa who owns and conducts a first class piano and music store. He is doing well and has been in business here for the past fifteen years or more. The peculiar thing about Pearl is that he is still single. We wonder why some of our girls do not look in that directions. Mr. C. W. Chappel is working at the hotel and David Connor is living here and doing well. He owns some valuable property and is a hustling young man. H. S. Martin is still working in the barber shop, as is also James Fisher and A. W. Jones. This town has no colored churches, but they are now trying to establish an A. M. E. mission. Rev. A. M. Campbell is here on the field working toward that end. We next found ourselves in St. Joseph, Mo. Here we stopped with Dr. E. W. Thompson, a former popular Iowa young man, who graduated from the University of Iowa, and is located in the drug store in this city. Mr. Thompson is doing well and is well thought of here, and it is no doubt a pleasure for his many friends in Iowa to know of his success down in "Show Me" state. R. P. Behesars, also a graduate of the State University of Iowa, has a nice dental parlor here. There are four colored doctors here, namely, Dr. J. A. R. Crossland, Dr. M. O. Rickett, Dr. F. M. Goodson, and I do not recall the name of the other doctor. They each seem to have sufficient practice and are doing well. Mr. G. W. Walker is still in the restaurant and confectionery business at N. Third street. He is not only a business man, but a real race man. Mme. M. Beard is developing a hair dressing establishment in this city. Mr. Madison, who formerly worked in a barber shop in this city, is working here in the Elks bar shop. Mrs. Alice P. McGauh is still living at 2805 Mary Street. She formerly lived in Bethany, Mo. Mr. R. L. Scott, Prof. B. T. Perkins, Prof. Sims, W. H. Jones and Prof. Endicott are some of the leading men of this town. Each of them own beautiful homes and stand for something in this city. The churches are doing as well as could be expected. As we receive regular weekly letters from St. Joseph we will not give any more of our people in detail.

In that publication Commer- lal Agent Otto Wilton outlines the conditions necessary for the auccess- ful sale of goods, the lines of manu factures required in South America, and the standing of the leading nations as contributors to those requirements. It is pointed out, for example, that Ar- Sentina imports large quantities of manufactures of the class produced in the United Btates, but that the United Kingdom and Germany supply more ot them, as a whole, than this country; while France sella there five times aa many automobiles, Germany 20 times as many fron beams, three times as many cotton goods, and England 26 times as much coal and twlce as much machinery in that market as the United States, This disparity in favor of European countries extends to many other articles and practically all coun- tries of South America, each of which {a interestingly discussed in the mono- raph named. ‘A mere enumeration of a few of the principal articles imported by Brazil will serve to illustrate tho opportunt- thes which awalt American exporters in that and other South American fields: Arms and ammunition, cars, automobiles, cotton goods, pharma. ceutical preparations, electrical appa- ratus, cutlery, machinery, leather, petoting paper, perfumeries, tin plate, soap, and wearing apparel all of which aro bought in large quantities; and in practically every case are obtained ‘more largely from England, Germany, and France than from the United Biates.

In the first place it is claimed that race antipathy has served the purpose of keeping out of a race pure, preserving its superiority. This claim presupposes that one race is superior to another by its very constitutional endowments, and, therefore, the superior and the inferior races are kept apart by race antipathy. Again, it is held by others, on far better grounds, that race antipathy has served to preserve the life of races. The various races once lived largely in a hostile environment. They were obliged to be on guard always against foes. Was he their main opponent, apologizing for their life. Race antipathy at this level was the fighting instinct and made for race preservation. Once more, it is maintained by others that race antipathy has made for the conservation of particular cultural values. These values are held to be dependent upon certain races, not only for their production, but also for their conservation. Now it may be admitted that race antipathy has served, very largely, to keep the races separate, but it is quite evident that it has failed in millions of instances in our land and elsewhere in the world and in all periods of history. Wherever there has been intermixture of races, through illicit intercourse, there antipathy has interfaced. Where it is desirable, at present, to keep members of widely divergent races from intermarriage, it is better to create moral barriers, those of reason and character, than to depend upon race antipathy. And where it is desirable that members of races more closely allied should intermarriage, race antipathy may hinder race virility, diversity and progress. Thus race antipathy is inadequate for restraint, at the lower levels, and on the higher levels it may prove detrimental to civilization. In like manner, we may admit that race antipathy has made for race preservation one level and under certain conditions, without being forced to concede that it is necessary now. We are on a higher level, and race preservation is better secured through reason and character than through mutual aversion. The member of a persecuted race or a racial group or a backward race is better protected today by its moral character and the conscience of humanity. There was a huge parade on Labor day by the colored branch of the International Longshoremen and Cotton Jammers, an organization recently established in Indianapolis. Plans had been made to unite the longshoremen's parade with that of the Emancipation park, bringing out the entire negro organizations of the city into one parade for this occasion. An American steel company has acquired immense deposits of the cap in Chile that it proposes to ship to the United States, the rate of 1,000,000 tons annually on the opening of the Panama canal, and it is said that other American interests are investigating the field. The patent office has reported a partial list of nearly 500 patents issued to negroes, among them twenty-seven to Granville T. Words of New York for electrical devices, many of which are in use throughout the country, one of particular value having been adopted by the Bell Telephone company. Elijah McCoy, a negro inventor of Detroit, has patented more than thirty-five inventions, one of them being a lubricating machine which is used on many locomotives in the United States. A man in east Manchester, N. H., possesses an unusually intelligent nose, which can tell its own age, striking its hoof on the ground 25 strikes and can indicate by nods whether or not it has had dinner. It follows its master without a halter and drives without the use of reins. India is developing an important turbine industry, though it does not yet supply the home market. Fish gunage as a supplemental food for cattle, bags and poultry is coming into general use in Germany. A private train has been built for the khevid of Egypt that is composed of cars that get their current from motors driven by gasoline engines. Methods for enlarging and reducing phonograph records, giving increased or diminished sound intensity, have been invented by a Frenchman. An electric railroad in Pennsylvania has adopted cars that may be used either for freight or passengers, the seats folding against the sides. A lantern that projects magnified by a microscope upon an easily examined screen has been invented in London. Two parts of ammonia to one of turpentine will soften old paint or grarnish and make its removal easy. A telephone system, American throughout in every particular, has been installed at Bahia, Brazil. An English railway is experimenting with fuel brigettes made from waste coal with a tar blender. Among the conclusions reached by Mr. Alexander Bettis of South Carolina, principal of the Bettis academy, was that flocking to town was fundamentally bad for the negro. He constantly affirmed that the best place for the colored man was on the land as a tilter of the soil. He was also able to organize on the land should be intelligently formed for the young men and women of the race should be educated according to their practical needs. Opportunities for such education existed after a fashion in the towns and cities. According to the Bettis theory of the fitness of things, sending young people from the country to be educated to work on the farms was logically foolish and morally mischievous. Reasoning in this direction was presented concluded that the thing was to bring adequate educational opportunity to the people of the country. He knew that his theory was right, but applying it was not easy. Bettis believed that part of the business of life was to meet obstacles and emergencies and throw them off the track. Manifestly the first thing to do was to make a beginning. This he did by securing enough land for a nucleus. This negro preacher knew his own limitations, and that he did not want to be a slave institution. His next step was to select and equip two young men for this task. They were sent first to the Schofield Normal and Industrial institute at Alken, one of the first schools established in the South for the education of the negro. Then they took courses in Atlanta university. One of them died soon after Bettis' academy was started. Twenty-eight years ago the surviving young man, Alfred W. Nicholson, took charge of the institute, and ever since then the status of access in the equipment and land development clusters around this man and his wife. The plant of Bettt's academy has been a growth like Topsy. From the small beginning of one primitive building the plant has expanded into a cluster of buildings, plain, to be sure, but sulted, if not adequate, to the substantial educational work which the school fosters. Falling or jumping down a 55-foot well on the farm of his father, the four-year-old son of B. Frank Minch, near Beebe Run, showed such pluck and courage that his rescue was accomplished an exciting half-hour of work by a brave negro farm hand. The lad was playing with other children when some of them dared to get into the box above to pump used for lowering the milk and milk into the well to cool. Then he either fell or, under the stimulus of the dare, rested the rest of the way. The children gave the alarm and help was quickly at hand. The colored farm hand climbed down the well by bracing his feet against the brick walls, and then he lowered a clothesline to the lad, who all that time had clung coolly and courageously to the pump box and kept his head above the water, though he had managed to graze on his in fall is a mytery. The child made the line fast to his little body, and was being raised when the line broke and he fell back. He still grabbed the pump box, and a stronger line finally got him to the surface in safety—Shiloh (N. J.) dispatch to Philadelphia Inquirer. The heroism of the negro bellboys, who fought with suffocating clouds of smoke while they rushed through narrow hallways, banging upon doors, arousing guests and rescuing small children, probably averted serious origin of life in a fire of murderous origin which threatened to completely destroy hotel lakesworth at Atlantic N. Over three hundred guests suffered heavy losses by the blaze, which swept through practically the whole of the fourth floor of the big, rambling frame structure. While the fire was at its height dense clouds of smoke swept into the dance hall on the Garden pier, three squares away, where an audience of fully 1,000 people, including guests of the Islesworth, who knew nothing of the blaze at their stopping place, some enjoying a moving-picture show. Some one yelled fire and the audience promptly stamped for the doors. In the intense excitement in the darkened hall forty women fainted and several were trampled on, while the panic-striken audience tried to reach the exits. A high temperature cement, which is said to work as well as fire brick in temperatures between 1,500 and 3,000 has been invented. Freshly ground coffee and camphor, burned together, make an effective and refreshing disinfectant for the air of sick rooms. Multiplying the height of a wireless aerial by four will give its wave length approximately. A few crystals of oxalic acid will purify shellac varnish which has accumulated dust. There were 1,011 fatalities on British railroads last year, 59 less than the year before. Electrical machinery for gathering peat is being experimented with in Germany. DESSERTS IN HOT WEATHER Substitute and Fancy Dishes That May Be Offered to the Guests of Crystalized ginger cut in fancy shapes may be used in decorating creams and ice served in high stemmed glasses. Cut the ginger in small diamond shapes to represent leaves with a piece of candied cherry for the flower. A good summer dessert consists of a sheerbert glass filled with lemon ice or vanilla cream, with a little well in the center filled with chopped preserved ginger and branched over. This is a spoonful of stiffly whipped cream that conceals the filling. This arrangement is equally good with Bavarian cream or any of the various forms of custard desserts. A delicious combination of flavors is obtained by cooking together equal quantities of crystalized ginger and figs, both cut in small pieces. Add twice the quantity of water and let the mixture simmer until it is reduced to a soft pulp. A little sugar may be added if desired. This makes a delicious sauce to serve with ice cream or fruit. The individual cases spread the top with this fig and ginger mixture and decorate with whipped cream. The flavor of ginger is particularly good in combination with marshmallows. A novel sweet for the dinner table is made by cutting marshmallows in halves crosswise and inserting in the center of each cut a wedge of ginger. Place in a dish on a plate. Place in circles on flat bonbon plate. Small cakes covered with white icing can be decorated in similar style. A refreshing ginger ale punch is a little out of the ordinary, as it calls for a bunch of bruised mint and the juice of five lemons and two oranges to three plums of ginger ale. Sweeten lemon and orange and use some powdered ginger as a garnish. REMEMBER IN THE LAUNDRY Points That May Seem of Small in portance Will Surely Shorten A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled with white clothes will greatly aid in the whitening process. A tablespoonful of borax put in the last water in which clothes are rinsed will also whiten them surprisingly. Pound the borax so that it will dissolve easily. This is especially good to remove the yellow which time gives to white garments that have been laid aside for two or three years. When colored muslin has become faded and it is desired to bleach it white, chloride of lime put in the boiling water in the proportion of one tablespoonful of lime to one quart of water will effect it. Badly stained handkerchiefs can be made white as new if placed in a vessel and covered with ammonia and peroxide of hydrogen mixed with twice the bulk of water. The handkerchiefs soak, and then wash them in the usual manner. Often the gloves in tinted shades color handkerchiefs, and the process is one of the best for cleaning them. Soft Soap Use three-quarters pound of potash for every pound of grease. Soak the potash in cold water overnight, and next day boll it until the potash dissolves, then while still boiling hot pit it over the grease, which has been placed in the receptacles in which you intend to keep the soap. Every day pour on more boiling water, according to your city's water tar and stir thoroughly. Twenty-five pounds of grease will make about one barrel of soap. Pour on a kettle of hot water each day until it comes to the right consistency. Basket Corrosion. Cut with a Parisian cutter the desired quantity of good cantaloupe, pit about an equal quantity of fresh cherries in a pan, adding a little sweet maple syrup over them, place in a fire and let it cook until the cherries throw in the cantaloupe and lay aside to cool. Serve on a basket of pistachio ice cream, arranging half cantaloupe and half cherries and sauce as you would a peach Melba. Dishwashing Hint: Cleaning a saucepan in which milk has been boiled is often a troublesome task. A simple method is to quickly replace the lid after pouring out the boiling milk so that the steam will not have time to escape and allow the saucepan to cool. Then shake the lid again. Then put the pan in cold water to soak; afterward it can be washed easily and quickly without the bother of scraping. Meat Loaf. Have the butter grind together the following: One and one-half pounds fresh pork, then add 16 crackers, four eggs, one onion, one tea spoonful nutmeg, one teaspoonful salt, one cupful hot water; mix into a loaf, put into rooftop and cover it in moderate oven about 45 minutes. Welsh Barebit Heat one cup milk in double boiler to boiling point, add two teaspoonful cornstarch (dissolve in little cold milk), then one-fourth teaspoonful mustard, one-half teaspoon salt, butter size of cheese, one-half pound mild cheese, grated. Cook a minutes. Serve on toast or crackers. Lemon Shortsake. Make the pastry part the same as for any shortcake, and shred between the layers a paste composed of the grated rind and juice of a large with a cupful of sugar and one cupful of sweetened cream, flavored with lemon. Magnolia Dressed Sweet. Boll two ice cream in a pint of milk with a bit of lemon peel and a good bit of cinnamon, until the pipes are swelled to their utmost size without breaking. Lay them on a cushion dish and pour a cushard over them hot IOWA STATE BYSTANDER BASEBALL Pitcher Verney Ashley, who had a trial with the St. Louis Browns in Florida last spring and then turned his arms out to his wife for decision, with the result that he lost a good job in a Class A league, has quit the game and is rusticating in Michi- --- Pitcher Elmer Manger, recently taken on by the Chicago Cubs and dropped because he seemed to have nothing, now gets a trial with the Pirates, who are in such desperate shape that they will try anything. Billy Martin, Georgetown university shortstop, who is now with the Napa landers, has stirred up a dispute, the Boston Braves claiming him. The matter will be threshed out by the national commission. . . . Habe Danzig, who has been playing semi-pi ball around San Francisco for a couple of years since he quit the Montgomery team of the Southern league, has been signed by Sacramento as a utility man. Manager Johnny Dobbs of the New Orleans Pelicans not only says the team will win the northern league but also the best all-Southern team in the league or any other league. . . . A Portland baseball editor says that the Cleveland club sends Pitcher Johnny Lush to Portland because he needs more experience and that the "youngster" did not cost the club much money. --- Manager McGraw of the Giants has signed another college pitcher. He is S. W. Royce, who, while pitching for Hamilton last spring, set the college world on fire by striking out every body in sight. --- Red Munson, formerly a catcher with Nashville and later manager of the Bristol team in the Appalachian league, has been signed by the Cleve land American league as a coach for young pitchers. --- Lorenz Pezold, the youngater whose injection into the Cleveland infield sent Larry Lajoie to the bench, hails from New Orleans, and like the man he succeeds, has some French blood in his makeup. --- Umpires Bush, Kane and Manassau have all been released by the Federal league. They had ten-day clauses in their contracts and were let out under these clauses in order to cut down expenses. --- Jim Delehanty, who was put on the shelf at the opening of the season, is now able to play with the Brooklyn Feds and his return to the game means some shifts in the Brooklyn's team. B. Washington has obtained a new catcher in the person of Tom Wilson of Galveston of the Texas league, and, according to Scout Kahoe, he is one of the greatest throwers in baseball. . . . A report from Los Angeles has it that Howard Emke, exploded phenom of the Angels, has been offered a bonus of $1,000 and a salary of $700 a month to sign with the Feds. Three major league clubs have been bidding for Outfielder Bobby Roth of the Kansas City team, and both St. Louis clubs are said to have made offers of players and cash. Brooklyn asked wavers on Pitcher Ed Reulbach and the Cincinnati club refused to waive, Manager Herzog believing the Fraternity director still has something left in him. The trade of Jack Martin to Philadelphia for Josh Devore gave Manager Stallings just the man he wanted for his outfield and put his team in a settled condition. Umpire Monte Cross, put out of half the games played in the Federal league by uksas of Pitcher Tom Seaton, is now out of the other half with a damaged foot. --- Lefty George of the Cleveland A. A. team set a record for pitchers as batters in a recent game when he made five hits in as many times up. With the reduction of the Ohio State league to four clubs but two umpires were necessary and President Bob Read released Mike Jacobs. The veteran Jimmy Williams, with Minneapolis, was made an offer of an umpire's berth in the Federal league, but he declined it. Records show that the Cardinals and the Browns of St. Louis lead their leagues in the doubtful honor of striking out most. Baltimore, with all its stars gone, shows signs of fading, though the team held up remarkably well for a time. Grand Rapids has traded Outfielder Tydeman to Wichita for Outfielder Bossoloni and cash to boot. William Bierhalter, umpire in many leagues, and familiarly known as "Two-Bits," has been signed by Press-identified Hellbronner for the Central league --- Jack Dunn of Baltimore picked up another piece of money when he sold Pitcher Ensign Cottrell to the Boston Braves. Andy Coakley has made another shift of his Atlantic league team, its latest stopping place being Norwalk, Conn. S The "jumping" of Hal Chase to the Federal league gave Jacques Fournier his chance—and the Frenchman has made good with a vengeance. He has made Chicago White Sox forget Chase and his hitting has been an important factor in many of Chicago's games. Jacques is the only member of the Chicago team who is batting above the 300 mark, and he has a fine chance to finish the season among the select class of hitters. It is awful to think of what would have happened to the National league race had not the Braves lost 20 out of the first 25 games played. The present spurt of the Braves has the leaders laying awake nights. Ed Konchery apparently shook off his batting肿 when he broke up a 13-inning game between the Pirates and the bases loaded. The big fellow has started hitting again. . . . Jersey City has given Catcher Bobby Wells his unconditional release. A year ago he was rated one of the best players in the league, but his arm became worthless. --- It is not the signs on the fences that bother the Giant batter, declares Sid Mercer, in the New York Globe, but the signs the opposing catcher gives the pitcher. John Titus has slowed up a lot. He cannot throw, covers little ground, and has voted himself out of every contest in which a southpaw appears. Thanks to the heavy hitting of Kauff, Campbell and Carr particularly, the Indianapolis team has a remarkable record for team batting. The St. Louis Americans have released First Baseman Charley Bold to the Lancaster club of the Tri-State league. George Burns has been closing in on Charley Herzog for the base running honors of the National league. Jack Barrer never fielded better in his life, but his hitting this season has been the poorest of his career. SPORTING WORLD American owners who have thoroughbreds in England, France and Germany are deeply concerned over the welfare of their strings of horses. With the coming of martial law the military authorities can command all horses, no matter if they are domestic subjects of that country or foreigners. --- The average trapshooter will solemnly avert that there is "nothing just as good" as clay pigeon busting to be handed over the sporting counter, and then he will follow up the assertion with an array of more or less plausible evidence to back his claim. A law of sports as immutable as "the laws of the Medes and the Persians" is, "they come back." Trap shooters show no exceptions to this rule but the reason why a trapshooter never comes back is simple—he never goes back. --- Just as soon as Czar Haughton of Cambridge heard that King Yost of Ann Arbor was mobilizing his football warriors he did likewise. War has been declared. The first battle will be fought October 16. Despite its second consecutive defeat in the varity eight-oared race at the Poughkeepsie regatta, Cornell university athletes have closed probably their most brilliant year. The Cycle Racing association is to construct a track in Boston at a cost of $40,000. When completed it will be the best in the country. The seating capacity will be 20,000. Georges Carpenter will give five cents a day for fighting in the French army, which is about the amount any fighter is worth as a day laborer. Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight, has taken up golf and is showing much proficiency. Friends of Homer Baker, New York Athletic club half-miler, are anxiously waiting for some news of his where- abouts. When last heard of he was in Germany. In honor of these warlike times the football rules have been amended to permit more roughing of the fullback. The use of an ax is forbidden. What a splendid ad it would be for a certain ten merchant if the Germans should capture the Shamrock IV Secrets of the Sea Are Revealer In Dredges. Explorations of the Ocean's Floor Made—Strange Fish Brought to the Surface Succumb at Once to Changed Pressure. We hear much of land exploration, of expeditions leaving day by day to place man's record in some unknown part of the world, but little is told of the exploration of the ocean bottom where the vast plains and mountain ranges are being mapped and charred and are yielding to the upper world the strongest creatures of nature. Yet this work is being carried on in almost every sea of the globe, quietly and persistently, although almost unknown except to the scientific world and the sea in shores, says Popular Mechanics. For years America's place in these important operations has been held by the Albatross, an iron, twin screw steamer of 1,000 tons' displacement, built for the United States fish commission in 1883 and fitted with apparatus for marine work of every description. Its equipment includes machines for ascertaining the depth of the water and character of the bottom, dredges for obtaining fish and other animals from the great depths, aparcments for shallow water inshore, and complete laboratory, where specimens may be identified and packed, and scientific studies carried on. The most important work which the Albatross has done, and that for which it is best equipped, is deep sea sounding and dredging. It is by means of soundings patiently taken one by one that almost every important submerged mountain chain and peak has been plotted and that we know the materials which cover the ocean in the great depths. Just before freezing point, no matter what its 'atemperature at the surface. When the Albatross, was in the Dutch East Indies and we were working in a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit, the men who sorted out the specimens in the bottom of the dredge net were dressed in the thinner of gauze underhirts, but wore long mittens to protect their hands and arms from the ice cold mud. The man who was most affected was that blasting heat, for a cool drink could be obtained in a very few minutes by burying a bottle in the mud, no matter how hot the sun which was blasting down upon us. By means of a register the number of feet of wire which has run out before bottom is found is indicated, and this is reported to the officer in charge. Thus at every sounding the depth of the ocean floor is specified, specific gravity at the bottom as compared with that at the surface, and the character of the ocean floor are learned, and the chart prepared accordingly. The deepest sounding which has yet been made by any ship was in the Pacific ocean between the islands and islands and showed a depth of six and one-half miles. There are two styles of dredges by means of which the animals and fish of the great depths are captured—the nets which are dragged over the bottom and those trawled just below the surface. The bottom dredge consists of a pair of heavy iron running frames that can move in a convexive feet in length. Fastened to this frame is a cone-shaped bag 20 feet long, made of heavy web, the end of which is closed by a lashing. The dredge is hung over the starboard side of the ship on a long boom and by means of a steel cable is slowly lowered to the ocean bottom, the feet diagonal to the water, the wig and a pointer on a scale shows the strain, which often amounts to fire or six tons, upon the cable. As soon as the dredge has reached the bottom the船 steams ahead at about two-thirds of a mile an hour, dragging the net over the ocean floor. It remains down for an hour or so, and is then slowly to the bottom where it whales. Albatrots has ever made was five and one-half miles, and it was 17 hours from the time the dredge was first lowered until it again appeared. The net is towed beside the ship for a few minutes, then it is waving on board, the lashings at the bottom unfastened. The table is the cold mud is carefully washed away and the speeches carried to the laboratory. It is like opening a Christmas package for a naturalist to watch the dredge come to the surface bringing unknown treasures from the hidden depths. Strange fish are found which carry incarnate lamps far away from the inky blackness miles below the surface; others with phosphorescent gots along their sides which must glow like the portholes of a steamer at night; still others with their eyes upon long stalks or with no eyes at all. And poor things, when released into the harbor, which they harbor, are accustomed, their eyes often pop out of their heads and their stone-turn inside out. Fastidious Shopper. "Yes, she couldn't buy a two-cen- stamp, but she could buy an entire stock out for inspection." Electric Canal Boat The newest thing in transportation facilities is the electric canal boat. The New York & Buffalo Steamship company is planning to construct a fleet of 30 self-propelled freight barges, possibly with accommodations for a few passengers, which are expected to make the trip between New York and Budapest in Hudson River. The canal in three, 275 feet long, and will have a capacity of 1,600 tons. Beards, Windows and Hats Had to Pay Tribute. Nesedy Kings in Ancient Times Were Very Unorthodox in Their Methods of Raising Money—Solicited Like Beggars. In early times it was common for needy kings to raise money by very unorthodox methods in England. Edward I was accustomed to raise money self to the solicitor of land and Edward III had a disturbing habit of imposing taxes without the consent of parliament. Edward IV solicited money "like a common, or rather a sturdy, beggar." Richard II imposed a poll tax which affected both males and females from sixteen years upward. An earl had to pay four pounds, as also had the mayor of London, while a married man had to pay fourpence for himself and his wife and a single woman had to pay fourpence for a wonder, remarks the Ne. York Press this tax led to Wet Trichel rebellion. Charles I was a keen man for money and he set parliament at defiance. One of his most remarkable proclamations ordered the nobility and gentry to restrike their country seats and cease idling their time in London, under pennantage. We grumble nowadays at the taxes imposed by the various budgets, but we are freed of the freak taxes that burdened our forefathers. Beards were taxed at one time and Henry VIII, who were one himself free of charge, graded the tax according to the status of the weaker. The bishop of York to three of the three fortunes for his face fungus, and this was the amount fixed by Elizabeth on every board of over a fortnight's growth. The most odious tax ever introduced was that of the birth tax, which came into operation in 1695. This tax ranged from £30 on the child to a duly paid fortune for a child. Taxes were also imposed on burials and marriages. William Pitt the younger, who was the most juvenile premier and chancellor of the exchequer Britain ever had, came into office at the age of twenty-four, and as he found the public finances in a desperate state, he instituted some weirful taxes. He instituted a tax on windows. He placed a tax on horses. In defiance of the latter tax and by naming Jonathan Thatcher rode his cow to and from the Stockport market. So recently as 1869 there was a tax in England on hair powder, which was first instituted in 1795. It cost a guinea for a license for a display powdered hair, though a striving parent with more than two unmarried daughters could obtain a double license for two guineas, which allowed all the girls of the family to powder their polls. This tax was not so stupid as the hat tax, which was introduced in the reign of George III, when money was badly recorded to fight the French. For, indeed, there was a tax on watches and clocks, and women will be interested to learn that from 1695 to 1706 there was a tax on bachelors. Every unwed man over twenty-five had to pay into the treasury a shilling a year, though in the case of a gentleman this amount was increased to five shillings, and in the case of a duke $12.10. This tax brought in about one thousand pounds a week and induced many men to venture into matrimony. WISE WALL STREET BROKER He Made His Manager His Partner With the Object of Cutting Down His Losses. "How can you look so smug and cheerful?" one broker, disagreeably asked another. "You certainly can't be making money while the stock exchange is closed." "I'm not," said the other, "but I'm losing less than when the exchange was open. Staying in the country has made it unnecessary for me to buy a commutation ticket to town, and by remaining at home I don't have to buy my lunch every day. Further, I'm saving on stamps, stationery and telegrams. "And this morning I served notice on my manager and customers man that they could become partners in the business, at certain percentage each, or quit. They came in, and now they can share with me the loss of the business. I don't have to pay them salaries; whatever they draw, they will have to pay back again out of their share of the profits—if we ever make profits again." Law Point Settled. The court of appeals of New York in Severson, as commissioner of charities of Binghamton vs. Maeenumber, holds that when the bondman for one held as a disorderly person for failing to support his family is sued, it is not necessary for the plaintiff to prove that the family had become a public charge. The court said that the judgment of conviction and the bond executed by the defendant were founded on the man's ability to support his wife, and the judgment necessarily established that he was liable and able to support her at the time the judgment was rendered. Nailed Himself to the Job With a wire nail driven through a finger and into the woodwork to which he was tacking a canvas sign, George Silpah, a stage carpenter, was held a prisoner in the gallery of the Auditorium theater until with great suffering affected his own release. Silpah was alone in the building when a misdirected blow of a hammer nailed him fast with his hand in such a position that efforts to draw the nail that impaled him caused his intense agony. Burlington (N. J.) Letter to the Philadelphia Record. MONMOUTH, ILL. A farewell hand shake and silver coin shower social was given Rev. W. A. Searcy and wife by the members of the St. James A. M.

Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner, 923 N. 18th St., Birmingham, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nervous prostration for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best remedies, but they all failed to reach my case. I would feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take it. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily-grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have been tried for the drunkleggs. If first bottle falls to benefit your money is returned. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. Furniture Magic Hair Grower and Straightening Oil MME.
