Some People are Fools for Money, Others for the want of Sense Subscription $1.00 Per Annum Lincoln Mem orial at Sum ner High A FINE PROGRAM WAS RENDERED — STUDENTS OF NIGHT SCHOOL EXHIBIT PREPARED, NESS — PROF. KING DOING GREAT WORK. The Lincoln Memorial that was held last Friday evening in the Auditorium of the Sumner high school by the students of the night school deserves a high commendation for the very excellent program rendered. The auditorium was packed with patriotic citizens, with many who could recall vividly to their minds the reminiscences of the days of the martyr and emancipator, in whose honor and memory was being celebrated. And oh! how they enjoyed it! The stage had a beautiful setting, with a large white statue of Mr. Lincoln resting on the north end of the stage. The program opened by a musical number from Prof. Reynolds' Night School Chorus, which in it alone, one could have been satisfied. The second number was a piano solo by Miss Mattle Washington, and still it got better. The third number was a vocal solo by Mrs. D. A. Holmes, whose musical tones of sweetness reaches down into the very being of one' s soul. In the next number the audience listened to an original poem, "The Emancipator," by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, which was excellent, and was read with much force by the writer. A piano solo followed, composed and played by Mr. C. Lee, which touched the audience's musical sinews so forcibly Mr. Lee had to return to the ivories for an encore. At this place on the program Prof. I. B. Morgan, superintendent of all the night schools, was introduced, who spoke 30 minutes or more on the "Reminiscences of Lincoln. The scholarly professor seemed to have made his subject a part of his very being and how his listeners enjoyed the humor, wit and history of this great and noble character. The Night School Chorus then sang feelingly, "Freedom." The last number was a duet by Mrs. M. C. Matthews and Mrs. Ella Stoval-Lesley, which was composed by Mrs. Matthews, it taking Lincoln's life from his humble birth to his tragedy. It was received with such applause their return to the stage for more was necessary to satisfy the audience. Prof. King, the efficient supervisor of Summer night school, who presided, gave in his wit and humor what the night school was doing and that the program that had been their privilege and pleasure in listening to, was of night school products. He then introduced two members of the school board who were present, Dr. Williams and Mr. Trotter, and also Dr. Williams' uncle, "Comrade" Williams. Summer night school, under the supervision of Prof. J. P. King, is said to be doing greater work in all of its departments than any school of its kind in the state and probably anywhere in the country. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The Brotherhood of the First Baptist church, Fifth and Nebraska avenue, of which Rev. W. A. Bowron is pastor, held its meeting on February 13 at the First church. H. A. Geren, the president, who is very punctual in time, called the meeting to order at the usual hour for opening, 5 p. m. Form of opening: Devotional: Song, prayer and Scripture reading. The Scriptural lesson, which is found in Ephesians 5; 6-21, was interestingly instructed by Deacon H. L. Moberly, who brought some new ideas to the minds of those that sat at his feet, to learn something about temperance; 40 minutes were given to the study. Deacon J. H. Walker, a broad, generous hearted Christian man, will attempt to instruct the Scripture lesson Sunday, February 20th. Subject, Purity of Life, after which Ernest Blue, a deep thinking Christian young man, will read a paper pertaining to the life of Abraham Lincoln, to be discussed by various members of the Brotherhood. H. J. Messley, the secretary, a very enthusiastic young man, will open the discussion, followed by the president, A. H. Geren, Deacon H. L. Moberly and J. H. Walker and other broad thinking men of the Brother- VOL. 2. hood, with Rev. W. A. Bowren, the pastor, to convey the final remarks. All the men of the First church are expected to be present, and the friends and members are invited to come out and enjoy an evening of good things. H. J. MESSLEY, Secretary. Dr. Ransom of Topeka was the guest of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Ransom of North Sixth street, last Sunday. The doctor was looking fine and his many friends here were glad to see him. He worshipped at his father's church Sunday morning. Died—Miss Mary Bell, Thursday, February 10th, at St. Joseph, Mo., age 37 years. The remains were brought to this city Sunday and were taken to the Wyatt & Collins undertaking parlors, from where the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon. She leaves two sisters and five brothers, one sister and three brothers living in this city, one sister in Texas, a brother in Topeka and one in Omaha. REV. D. B. JACKSON, D. D. Pastor of 5TH STREET BAPTIST TABERNACLE WALTER L. PAYNE, CANDIDATE FOR STATE TREASURER. Walt Payne, as he is commonly known to the masses of Kansas citizens, and whose home is in Burlingame, Osage county, announces his candidacy for the nomination at the coming Republican primary, for state treasurer. Mr. Payne is widely known throughout the state to electors of all political parties, and his loyalty, honesty and efficiency make him a formidable contestant for that most responsible office of trust. His experience as deputy state treasurer for ten years gives him a broad knowledge of the inside needs of the office. Mr. Payne has been very prominent in local and state affairs for many years and just retired at the last Kansas Day as president of the Kansas Day club, which has become one of the biggest and most talked of organizations in the state. Walt Payne makes friends because he is friendly. RENSSELAER, MO. Success to The Advocate. Everybody in Rensellaer seems to be enjoying themselves.

E. church at the school house. Mrs. Evely Taylor who has been ill ever since she came from Chicago is improving rapidly. The services at the A. M. E. church were well attended Sunday morning. Rev. Tony, the pastor, is improving in health. He hasn't had a severe cold this winter. The missionary society which met with Mrs. Lillie Howard Thursday afternoon was largely attended. There will be a mock trial at the school house Saturday evening. Mrs. Eliza Riptoc who has been very ill, is much improved. Miss Ellabelle Dant who is attending Hannibal high school, visited her parents Saturday and Sunday. The Advocate is much admired here for its clean news. SOUTH PARK, KAS. Mr. and Mrs. O. E.

Mustic ..... STATE CAPITAL NEWS STATE CAPITAL NEWS TWO GREAT MEN HONORED. Attorney James H. Guy spent Sunday afternoon and evening in Kansas City. Mr. Lloyd Hardin and son L. W. passed through the city last Friday en route to Leavenworth. Under the matchless persuasive powers of the evangelist, Miss Mary Evans, many souls are being converted to Christ at St. John's A. M. E. church. In commemoration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, February 12, and that of Frederick Douglas, February 14, the Topeka Industrial Art Educational Institute observed Monday of this week, rendering a very excellent program. The speakers for the occasion were the Hon. T. A. McNeal, editor of the Mail and Breeze, and Lawyer James H. Guy, one of the trustees of the school. The music was furnished by the Boys' Glee Club. The most enjoyable event of the season was the Kewpie Klub ball, which has been on the social time card for the past two weeks, and was pulled off by the boys on Friday night of last week at Music hall. One hundred and fifty or 200 guests attended, many of whom were from out of town. Among the number were Mrs. Leon Jordan and Mrs. Dr. Perry of Kansas City, Mo., Mr. Franklin Bradley of Lawrence and others whose names your correspondent was not able to obtain. The music, though rendered by the Ray Hall Orchestra, was good, the floor in fine shape, the decorations, though not to our liking, were exquisite, the dancing, in the most part, sane, the costumes of the ladies were very gorgeous and flashy. It was a very nice party. Mrs. Dr. Perry and Mrs. Leon Jordan of Kansas City, Mo., spent Saturday, and Sunday last in the city, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wright. The manager of the picture, "The Birth of a Nation," has filed suit in the First division of the district court of this county to compel the censor board to allow the picture to be shown in Kansas. Inasmuch as it was the judgment of the state censor that the picture was not fit for exhibition, there being no bias or prejudice in his decision, it is the opinion of lawyers that the court will not interfere with his judgment, be it good or bad. The services at First church were largely attended last Sunday and Dr. Ransom preached an extraordinary strong sermon at the morning service. At the evening service the pastor paid a high tribute in a masterly address to the martyrred Lincoln. The two Allen Endeavor societies gave a joint program at 5:30 which brought out a large number of young people, this being the close of world-wide week of prayer of this great Christian organization. The Sunday school under the efficient superintendency of Mr. Truman is growing rapidly. Mrs. M. C. Matthews' song poem on Lincoln, will be published in our next issue. ADVOCATE TOPEKA, KANSAS ST.

Bonner Springs Chieftain: Without any fault with any of the other aspirants, it seems to us that Col. Ed. C. Little is easily the most available and best fitted candidate for congress in the Second district. Pleasanton Herald: There is no doubt but what Col. Little is by several thousand votes the strongest man in the Second district the Republicans can nominate for congress. He is the only man who can retire Joseph Taggart, and the nomination of some other candidate by the Republicans is the only hope the Democrats have of re-electing their congressman. Edgerton Journal: Up in Wyandotte county the Republicans are pursuing the peaceful pasttime of cutting each other's throats, politically. They have two candidates for the Republican nomination for congressman for this district. Wyandotte county knows that she holds the balance of power in the congressional election, yet the fool Republicans up there are letting the Democrats slip one over on them by keeping two Republican candidates in the race for the nomination, hoping thereby to divide the party strength in that county and re-elect Joseph Taggart next fall. With a man like Col. E. C. Little as the candidate of the Republicans, Joe Taggart can be beaten, that is if Wyandotte county Republicans will get solidly behind Mr. Little. The other Republican candidate up there, the way we view the situation at this time, doesn't stand a ghost of a show out in the district. This district hasn't been represented in congress by a soldier since the days of Col. Dick Blue, and now that a man who answered the call of his country in time of need, aspires to serve this district, it would only seem fitting to recognize his sacrifice to his country by electing, especially when that man has every qualification for making one of the best congressmen this district ever had. Mrs. W. A. Robinson of Bethel, was in the city Tuesday attending her lodge. She also made a call at the editor's home. NO.26 Annual Gathering of Lincoln Day Club LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC CITIZENS DO HONOR TO THE MEMORY OF THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR-JUDGE I. F. BRADLEY ELECTED PRESIDENT. Special to The Advocate. Topeka, Kas., Feb. 17.—The exercises held by the Lincoln Day Club at the Second Baptist church on Saturday evening, February 12, were very interesting. In the absence of the president, Mr. T. A. Bell of Leavenworth, the Rev. W. R. Carter of the Topeka Industrial Institute was placed in the chair. The club was addressed by Principal Carter, Mr. Malone of the Institute, W. E. Nelson of Junction City, Judge I. F. Bradley of Kansas City, and the Rev. B. T. Foster of Topeka. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Topeka State Institute Orchestra. At the close of the program the club adopted resolutions commending the state board of censors in not allowing "The Birth of a Nation" to be shown in this state, indorsed the state administration under Governor Capper and expressed the hope that when he had the opportunity he would accord to the colored voters of the state such political recognition as they justly deserve. The resolutions declared against preparedness and in favor of peace. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Judge I. F. Bradley of Kansas City; first vice president, W. E. Nelson of Junction City; second vice president, Mr. King of Lawrence; secretary, R. A. Malone of Topeka; treasurer, Mrs. N. Sawyer of Topeka. RESOLUTION 1. Resolved, That we fully appreciate the importance of the questions which are now before the public and we will lend our best effort to a just and proper solution of them. 2. And while we are mindful of the great wave of unrest and turmoil which is sweeping the world; we are also, equally mindful of that other, and important fact—that a constructive, rather than a Destructive Policy is to be preferred; and we are for peace, rather than war. 3. We indorse the splendid administration of Hon. Arthur Capper, and his honest and wise endeavor to enforce all laws. And we further believe, that when the opportunity shall present itself; he will give to all elements of his constituency, such consideration and patronage, as will him to be the governor of all the people. 4. We believe in a just and proper division of the emoluments of government, as well as of its burdens; we therefore, urge those who direct and control in the Republican party, to see to it; that all parts of the party are properly cared for, and that none are neglected; for "Tis only, when some of its parts fail, that the party fails to reach its highest calling. 5. We especially encourage local organization, with intelligent and aggressive action in local affairs, and that we keep in mind at all times the well known maxim, "The laborer is entitled to some of his production." 6. We commend our people for their record as substantial citizens, for Intelligence, Industry, Morals and Frugality; and urge them to higher and more noble action and Ideals. 7. We are aware that no people can rise higher than the level at which we find their women;—we therefore urge our women to greater activity, in all those lines of thought and action which tend to uplift, to the end; that their record may be as good as the Best. 8. We commend the state Censors for their wise and just action in excluding from this state, that latest "Blot on the Nation" the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation" and we believe their act ranks among the greatest and best of the age. 9. And lastly, we are unalterably committed to the Idea—that men, All men, are but men; and that there is but one standard by which they should be measured—a man—and by this standard, we ask, and shall do our best, to be measured.

It's only 10c per month and no one should put the collector off. The Second congressional district has only two candidates who are seeking the nomination from the Republican electors in the August primary, and unfortunately both of these gentlemen are residents of Wyandotte county, Col. Ed Little and U. S. Guyer. Either would probably make a splendid representative, but it's a time when men should lay aside their social acquaintance and nominate the man that can beat Mr. Taggart, and the only man who can accomplish this feat is Col. Ed C. Little. This is not just the opinion of a few of the colonel's intimate friends, but every county in the district, including the editorial indorsements of the press, who are speaking out all over the district, as Colonel Little being the only available man who can win over Taggart. Not only is the country in sore need of a Republican congress, but the race as well; therefore we should look well toward that candidate, Col. Little, whose numerical strength is conceded practically by the entire Second congressional district as the only man who can lead the old Second district back to Republican victory. We who are fortunate to have good shelter and raiment ought to be extremely happy. There are many who have neither. A clean reading periodical makes clean thoughts and clean thoughts make clean lives. The big grim the coal man has been carrying for six weeks or more is gradually going with the ice and snow.

A PAPER THAT STANDS FOR SOMETHING. The recent change of ownership of one of our city papers leaves this paper the only Republican paper in Kansas City, Kansas. The Advocate has long been the only paper in the state, we believe, conducted by Colored Republicans. We now have the double honor of being not only the only paper conducted by Colored Republicans, but the only Republican newspaper in the city. We will try to do our whole duty to the great party which stands for the best interests of all the people, black or white, and to uphold the standard of Republicanism in the metropolis of the state.

HAD TO CRITICIZE WRITING Old Lady Was Grateful for Being Enabled to Hear Sermon, but Truth Was Truth. A kilted regiment, while, on the march through a part of Scotland, halted for a Sunday's rest at one of the remote villages in the Highlands, where some of the braw laddles were billeted on the inhabitants. One old lady had to find a lodging for two of the soldiers, Sandy and Tam, and she was delighted to know they were going to the kirk in the evening, she herself being unable to go. Her pleasure was increased when one of her guests, who happened to be an accomplished shorthand writer, promised to tell her all the minister said in his sermon, though she had her doubts as to how he would be able to remember it all. Sandy and Tam came back from church, and the former read the sermon out from his notebook, to the admiration and astonishment of his landlady, who had never heard of shorthand, and had no idea how anyone could write as fast as the minister spoke. When Sandy had finished, and the good lady had expressed her thanks for the privilege of hearing the sermon, she asked him to let her look at the book he had been reading from. She seemed much disappointed, however, because she could make nothing of it. At length, after a close inspection of the mystic signs, she said to the blushing warrior: "Ye're a grand laddle and a vera gude reader, but I must tell ye, and if I was your aim mither I wad hae to admit it, ye're the vera wurst writer I ever came across." OBJECTED TO THE ROOSTERS Philadeiphla Man Unable to Appreciate Chanticleer's Greeting to the Rosy Morn. Roosters that are described as having "shrill and penetrating crows" and hens that cackle unceasingly are responsible for William Brounsworth getting a summons to court to answer to a charge of maintaining a nuisance, the Philadelphia North American says. Complainant in the action, begun in court No. 1, is Andrew Heldrich, 418 Lindley avenue, who lives next door to Brounsworth. He alleges that the noise of the roosters and chickens is destroying the peace and quiet of his home and making early morning sleep impossible. "For some months past," the statement says, "the defendant has been keeping in his yard a number of loud-voiced crowing roosters and a large number of hens, which have become an intolerable nuisance, because the roosters have shrill, penetrating crows and they crow during all hours of the night and early morning. "The crowing of the roosters and the cackling of the hens have affected the nerves of the complainant, his wife and children, and their health is threatened. The complainant's wife has suffered complete nervous breakdown and is under the care of a physician." The court is asked to declare the chickens a nuisance. Marketing Farm Products United States Senator Fletcher has called a meeting of the national marketing committee to devise means to aid the farmer in marketing his products, and also to enable the consumer to distinguish between the high cost of food and the high cost of service. "The farmers of the country are producing annually crops for which they receive $9,000,000,000, and for which the consumer pays, $27,000,000,000," said Representative W. S. Goodwin of Arkansas, a member of the committee. "The farmer gets 35 cents and the middleman gets 65 cents for each dollar the consumer pays for the farmer's crops. There is an enormous amount of waste, especially in perishable products, because of the lack of some central directing intelligence." Having Fun With the Bread Cards. German humorists have found excellent material in cartooning the bread cards. "Give me your bread card or your life!" was popular. Ferocious bandits were pictured as relinquishing fortunes in gold and jewels in order to steal bread cards; cautious heads of families were depicted as mounting guard at night over the safe in which repossed the family tickets. Dinner invitations, instead of "R. S. V. P.", bore the legend, "Please bring your own bread."—From "Is Germany Hungry?" in the Saturday Evening Post. Wants Couch for Policeman. Council has reinstated William E. Hockenbrecht, a policeman, in spite of a recommendation of Burgess Kelser that he be discharged, the burgess declaring the officer loafed in city hall instead of patrolling his beat, which Hockenbrecht admitted. After his reinstatement the burgess recommended that the borough buy Hockenbrecht a couch for use while on duty.-Sunbury (Pa.) Dispatch, Philadelphia Record. Gets Along Without Bananas.

WICKEDEST CITY ON EARTH Irkutak, in Siberia, May Well Lay Claim to That Altogether Unenviable Distinction. Which is the wickedest city in the world? If you ask an American this question, he will probably name Chicago, which has a most unenviable reputation. But he will be wrong. The discredit undoubtedly belong to Irkutsk, in Siberia. The population of Irkutsk—the very name has a cut-throat sort of sound about it—is 120,000, and every year five hundred murders are committed there. That is a world's record; and, what is worse, the murderers generally get off scot-free, for arrests average only about one in every fifty murders, and only one-half of the arrests are followed by convictions. In order to remedy this state of affairs, Irkutsk once decided to have a vigilance committee of its own. It got one—the worst vigilance committee on record, for ex-convicts and active thugs enrolled themselves by the score, and were given exceptional power by the governor. The reign of terror which followed is unparalleled in criminal history. The police were massacred. Rich merchants were shot in broad daylight, under pretence of being suspects. A system of "house-inspection" and "penal confiscation" was introduced, which was another way of saying wholesale burglary. NOT DESTITUTE OF KINDNESS Big Man Had Some Thoughtfulness In Spite of His Exhibition of a Selfish Spirit. The tube train was crowded with commuters hurrying to catch trains out to Jersey towns. Just as the doors were closing two men rushed on—one, a little old Jew, gray and bent; the other, a big, fat, prosperous-looking man, who shoved and pushed his way in, until he found a place where he could read his paper comfortably, regardless of the fact that he had stepped all over the old Jew and several other people, without even an appearance of apology. The Jew had murmured some words as to whether this train was right for "such and such a place." A shouted "yes" from the guard and another shove from the fat man, and the old fellow subsided. When we finally reached the station and everyone tried to beat his neighbor off, what was our surprise to see the big man stand quietly aside, take the old Jew by the arm, tell him this was his stop, and give him further directions as to his destination—repeating his words twice, for the old man was too scared to comprehend at first—and then go on his way—New York Times. Learn to Seek Happiness. There are many people who seem to think that happiness is a thing, like a house, or a dress, that you can get hold of and keep, as it were a possession of your own. It isn't. It's a state of mind! a quality of character. You have to work for it as you work for other desirable qualities. And you have to keep on working. Teach yourself to respond to everything lovely or cheerful, to see beauty, to enjoy the society of other persons, to delight in work, to find enthusiasm in play. Teach yourself interest in the struggles and hopes of others; the sort of interest that is of use, that is a help. Learn to enjoy the many little things that turn up day by day. Make the most of your own mind, your own capacities. Don't sit around pondering whether you are happy or not, whether or not life is worth living. Live it thoroughly; keep awake to all the wonder of it, and you'll be happy without knowing it, at first, until you have gone along far enough to realize what happiness it is. Except in times of real tragedy and great suffering happiness, in some at least of its myriad forms, is possible; is a duty indeed. Likely to Become Great Industry. The palm and palm-kernel oil industry of West Africa bids fair to rival the cottonseed-oil industry of this country. It is only waiting for improved methods in cultivation and preparation for the market, as the field for cultivation of the palm is practically unlimited. Naturally the value, extent and importance of this oil industry in Africa is but faintly realized by persons other than those directly interested in the trade. The amount of oil annually exported from British West Africa alone is now probably about 110,000 tons, and of kernels 220,000 tons. The palm tree from which the palm fruit is obtained is indigenous, and grows in enormous quantities on the west coast, the area extending from three to four hundred miles back into the interior. And Besides Biddy Didn't Care. Little Ruth was helping mother feed the hens. As they scrambled for their food, one ill-natured biddy pecked at another, pulling out a bunch of tail fathers. Ruth looked at the feathers, then at the unfortunate hen. Then a great idea dawned upon her, and with visions in her mind of a hat with plumes, she called her mother's attention to the feathers on the ground. Mother misunderstood. "Never mind, dear, they'll grow back," she said. As Ruth pictured her dolls with plumed hats, she doubted her mother's statement. Hopefully she tried again. "Mother, can't I have, the feathers? I don't think they'll grow back."—Kansas City Star. The East India Hair Gr The East India Hair (Grower The East India Hair (Grower with a balm of a thousand flowers.

GRAHAM. 510 State Ave., K. C., K. Tardy Justice to Stuyvesandt. The official representative of the Netherlands at the unveiling of a statue of "Petrus Stuyvesandt, the last and best of the governors of New Amsterdam," presented to the people of the city of New York by the Dutch government, frankly admitted that this colonial administrator did not receive proper support from the foreign office when he was in power. In this and in other ways contemporary Holland has tried to show to descendants of the men and women who founded and built up New Amsterdam that the former estimate of Stuyvesandt is not held; that he was not responsible for the surrender to the English; and that it is time to do justice to his merits as a man of force and insight. Thus does time rectify injustice done, give it but years enough! It may be doubted now whether Washington Irving painted the portrait of this administrator fairly. r Grower Will Promote a Full Growth or Hair, Will Also Restore the Strength, Vitality and the Beauty of the Hair.

Mall Orders Prompt- D. R. GREEN, Fifth St. BLES es it is because you are not HARD TO DEFINE VULGARITY What One Generation Condemns Another May Have Considered Distinctly Proper. There is nothing more difficult to define than vulgarity. It is often merely something one dislikes in somebody's manner of speech or behavior. Webster's dictionary defines "vulgar" in the modern sense as "lacking cultivation or refinement; rustic, boorish; also, offensive to good taste or refined feelings; low, coarse, mean, base." And "vulgarity" it defines as "grossness or clownishness of manners or language; absence of refinement; coarseness." The half of these definitions might safely be cast aside. It is absurd to define "vulgar" in the present sense as "rustic; low, . . . mean, base." When we say that anyone is vulgar we mean chiefly that he is, in Webster's words, "offensive to good taste," and that is about as near an explanation as we can go. As to what good taste is, who can inform us? To say that it is the taste of the best people does not get us much farther, for we have then to discover who are the best people. And is it the best people who have ever lived that we must follow, or the best people who are living now? The best people nowadays would consider it vulgar to get drunk at table; but the best people of bygone times were of a different opinion. --- Aid to Sleep. There are two very simple but effective remedies for that kind of sleeplessness that comes from overwork or nervous exhaustion. One is to have the feet very warm. Put them against a rubber bag filled with hot water. A rubber bag is better than an earthen bottle, as it will retain the heat for hours. The second method is much more simple. Discard the pillow, turn over and lie on the stomach with hands clasped under the forehead to lift the head a trifle. This will often send one to sleep. When you are tired and nervous a good rubbing all over the body with the lotion here given will be very restful. Lie quietly in bed after the rubbing for half an hour and you will then feel quite equal to taking up the daily tasks again. Here is the lotion: Diluted alcohol, six ounces; cologne water, six ounces; tannin, ten grains. Nothing Too Hot. Chabert, the fire king, who was a popular favorite in London many years ago, claimed to be able to swallow arsenic and other polsons with im punity. Visitors to his entertainment were requested to come provided with phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and oxalic acid, which he proceeded to consume before their eyes, taking an antidote afterward which was supposed to neutralize their effects. Then, to show that he was as im pervious to heat as to poison, he would take a raw leg of lamb into an oven heated to 220 degrees and remain in side until the joint was cooked, when it was carved and handed around to the audience. The performance concluded by Chabert rubbing a red-hot shovel on his head and face and allowing anyone who wished to drop molten sealing wax on his tongue and hands THE NEGRO MAGAZINE.

Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books By Sidney C. Taup, PhR. "The Truth About the Bible" about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy-five pages, $2.00. All cloth-bound. These pages are not bound. You show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the origin of disease and death. They are arresting the cause of death. They are scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written. They are daily going to the great thinkers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable than the human intellect stages under the sea of ideal ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die."—Prof. J. Slas Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane indulgences, than to give us the idea that has ever been given to the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. W. A. Thompson, M.D. W. A. Swan, M.D. F. M. McCubbins, M.D. H. F. Mulligan, M.D. Theodore E.

Stevenson as a German Spy. Stevenson as a German Spy. It is interesting, says the London Chronicle, to recall that Stevenson has recorded his imprisonment in France as a German spy, so foreign looking was he in appearance. Andrew Lang found his appearance at twenty-eight was anything but that of a Scotsman, and the same difficulty pursued the novelist through life, more especially on the continent. "It is a great thing, believe me," he wrote in the Inland Voyage, "to present a good normal type of the nation you belong to," and, as he says in the same chapter, "I might come from any part of the globe, it seems, except from where I do." New Sect. At a North Shore golf club a man, who had been playing with a clergyman was quite sure that he heard the holy man swear two or three times under his breath. Suspecting the lapse, he could not be sure of it, until one monosyllable came out with unmistakable clearness. After he had finished the match, a friend of his said: "I saw you playing just now with Rev. Dr. Smith. Of what demonination is he?" "Some people say he is a Unitarian," said his late opponent, "but I should call him a Profanitarian." Salt Water Improves Coal. Salt Water improves Coal. In recovering cargoes of coal from sunken vessels it has been discovered that the combustion of coal is improved by submergence in salt water. Coal subjected to the action of seawater for a number of years will burn almost entirely away, leaving only a small amount of ash and no clinkers. Crates of coal, each holding approximately two tons, were submerged by the British admiralty in 1903, and at different times since certain of them have been raised and experiments conducted. The tests all have been in favor of the salt-water treatment.
