Vernon, who recently delivered a lecture in this city, first attracted public attention as the president of the industrial school at Quindare, Kansas. His splendid executive ability built up a prosperous school from an exceedingly small beginning and the school today is broadening its influence and usefulness. He was the principal speaker fore a club in Topeka Kan. This club was composed of men of national reputation, business men scholars students and the substantial citizens of the state. The club was delighted with Mr. Vernon's address and the newspapers of the city published copious extracts from his speech. This address placed him permanently before the country as an orator and a thinker. From an obscure and impecuous preacher he became a man of national fame and his field of usefulness widened. He became registrar of the treasury at Washington. In the first Taft campaign he was called upon by the national republican committee to speak in many of the doubtful northern states. The negro vote had become a doubtful quantity in many of the northern states in which he held the balance of power because of the wanton abandonment of the fun lamental principle of the original republican party and the Declaration of Independence. The said negro vote is still more doubtful today. Incidentally I want to call attention to the power of the press for good or evil Many people depend solely upon the newspaper for information. There is a disposition locally as well as nationally to publish in full crimes committed or alledged in regard to the negro while excluding and ignoring everything good. Five hundred negro women delegate from every state in the union assembled at Xenia, Ohio (Wilberforce university). The press association refused to telegraph its proceedings to its clients. Two hundred delegates and as many visitors attended the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs at Moline, Ill. The report in the city papers was splendid, but not a line to be seen outside that city. The mayor of Chicago telegraph to these colored women inviting them to hold their next annual meeting in that city. This invitation was endorsed by the association of commerce and the Illinois commission. Rt. Rev. Samuel Fallows, D. D., LL.D., is president of the Illinois commission. What did Peoria do? These two organizations of colored women are doing work and showing results. They are the peer of any similar organization of women in America. But oh, you Jack Johnson! Page after page and column after column—the telegraph, the telephone and the cable are used to inform the public of the doings of Jack Johnson. Thousands of good and noble things are being and have been accomplishe by the American negro and the newspapers which publishes only the criminal side is guilty of assassinating the character of the negro population of the city, state and nation. There are many white men and white women to whom the American negro is indebted for sympathy and encouragement and hope. These are of infinitely more value to a srtuggling race than gold. Here in Peoria these words have been spoken by Mr. E. F. Baldwin, Senator John Baily, Rev. J. Merle Stevens, Rev C. G. Clarke and others. The colored women have received words of encouragement and hope have been spoken by the white women of Peoria to the struggling, poor but honest colored woman of this city. It has at last dawned upon the negroes of Peoria that they must protect themselves from the irresponsible political promoter and bribe taker and the tramp preacher, and also that they must warn their white friends and well wishers that alms and charity are flooding the county with black men who are begging for "their people." With this digression I return to Mr. Vernon. He had the smallest audience of negroes that he has had for many years. It was regretted by every one but was unavoidable. It was a case of "too much Jones." Parson Jones has been a disorganized during his brief stay in this city. Parson Jones does not represent the progressive, intelligent and permanent negro residents of Peoria. There was a time when the Baptist and A. M. E. churches of this city held Thanksgiving services alternately and the pastors exchanged pulpits—when these churches held union Sunday school picnics. But all this and more, has gone a-glimmering since Parson Jones represent Parson Jones. The readers are to understand that Rev. Scott B. Jones is the pastor of Ward's Chapel A. M. B. Church of Peoria, and Mr. Charles S. Ruff is identified with that same congregation. Hence they ought to know just what each is doing, and what each is talking about. Mr. Ruff may as well adeed that every "Big Pull Off" Rev. S. B. Has attempted in Peoria has been a "Frost." The "Big Emancipation Celebration" at the Coliseum, The Tuskegee Band Concert, and the meeting of the Illinois Semite-Commission at the First Cougregational church were all "Frost." It is believed that the repetition of this kind of "Big Pull Offs" is becoming very distasteful if Mr. Charles S. Ruff's statement means anything. ENTERTAINS. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tinsley entertains the editor and family and Mrs. Harriett Jefferson, and grandson Joe Glover of East St. Louis, for dinner last Friday. The host and hostess spared neitner time nor money to make this one of the grandest spreads that we have been invited to attend for a long time. Everything was choice and palpatable, the only trouble the editor experienced was, that his appetite was a little impaired and we had to look at the others enjoy themselves. Mrs. Tinsley received a vote of thanks at the conclusion of this feast and it was decided that she was one of the best cooks in the city. May they live long and enjoy life is the wish of those who were there. Water Mellon Feast. Sunday afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. L. A Baker, of Belgrade, had the pleasure of serving some of their choice melons to about 20 of their neighbors. Rambler, was "Johnie on the Spot" and of course had to take part in the affair. This was really a Baptist love feast and there was no close communion as the host and hostess were Free Baptists and, "by the way," good ones at that, and the rest were Methodists and Missionary Baptist, which made the occasion more enjoyable. Every one left well pleased and amply repaid for the visit and topics discussed which were for the betterment of Christianity. BROTHER ENTERTAINS SISTER IN HONOR OF SIX- TEENTH ANNIVERSARY.

ON THE FUNNY SIDE Applicant Was Well Versed on Statutes of State, But ignorant of Blackstone and Kent. In the old days, when oral examinations were still the thing, the examining board was pommeling an applicant with questions from Blackstone, Kent and other legal lights. "I didn't study anything about these fellows," complained the applicant. "What did you study?" asked one of the judges. "I studied the statutes of the state," he replied. "I studied them hard. Ask me a question about them and I'll show you. That is where I got my legal knowledge." "My young friend," said one austere judge on the examining board, "you would better be very careful, for some day the legislature might meet and repeal everything you know."—Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch.

HICKS DESERVED THE KNOCK Facetious Individual Is Told His Portrait Looks Like "Real Dough-Head Sort of Idiot." After many years Hicks met Rix, a friend of his schoolboy days. Almost half a century had passed since they had gone to school together, and now each was a gray-haired father of a family. Hicks was entertaining Rix, and was showing him his household goods. He was a facetious soul who took an altogether uncalled for delight in his own somewhat feeble jokes and witticisms. "That," said he, pointing to a painting, "is a portrait of my wife's first husband." "Why," said Rix, "you never told me that your wife had been married before!" He examined the picture with some interest. "Well, he looks a real dough-head sort of idiot, anyway." "That," said Hicks, "is a portrait of myself at the age of twenty-five, sir!" Apprehension.

But a snake is like a fish. It shrinks after capture." No Danger. "I wonder if the Babbleys run any risk of ostracism if they go to that fashionable resort?" "Oh, no; they've all been vaccinated." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. HAS VAST AUDIENCE Francis X. Bushman Tells Why He Prefers the Photoplay to the Legitimate Drama, of Which He Was an Ornament. Probably there is no more enthusiastic motion picture actor in the world than Francis X. Hushman. He takes as much interest in the production of a new film as the producer himself; and his suggestions as to scenery and costumes are considered invaluable. "Sometimes I have a longing to return to the stage," said Mr. Bushman, "but these longings are few and far between: I am in love with my work, and I really think a great deal of good can be accomplished by the motion picture actor. He appeals to millions of people, young and old. On the stage his audiences are necessarily limited: Penjoy thinking that every day I am appearing on the screen and giving enjoyment to thousands. When I say 'giving enjoyment' I do not mean that my acting is unusual or anything like that. I mean that in most of the pictures I am cast for the hero, and as a hero I am doing big, brave, things that must necessarily influence the whole world." "When I am appearing as the hero of a play, I try to forget that I am just an 'dramatic human being, and I try to throw myself into the part as a real hero. I act as I imagine a real hero would act, and as a rule my audience is with me from the start to the finish. These are some of the things that make motion pictures attractive to the actor. "I do not think I will ever return to the stage." I have become a 'motion picture fan as well as an actor, and I have ceased to listen to the call of the footlights." WAR'S EFFECT ON THE MOVIES One Big Production Postponed Because Leading Man Goes to the Front/ While speculation is rife as to the probable effect on the motion picture industry of the gigantic war now raging through all Europe one of the large eastern empires has already experienced one unqualified result of the tremendous conflict, which has compelled the postponement of its production of the Silver King, preparations which have for some time commanded the interest of the trade. Guy Standing, whose selection for the leading role was recently announced, is a captain in an English regiment, and when the announcement that England had joined the wholesale war was officially confirmed, Standing's military zeal immediately destroyed the poise that is necessary for so arduous a role as that of the Silver King. Obsessed with the desire to return to his regiment and join the colors, Standing pleaded for the postponement of the engagement. Impressed by the patriotic loyalty of the star, the producers consented, and Standing happily began preparations for a hasty departure. He sailed on the Lusitania. Rip-Roaring Comedy. "Oh! Look Who's Here!" is a comedy recently released. The story concerns Hawkins, a tired business man, who listens to the call of the soil, and arranged to go on a farm. Mrs. Hawkins, a militant suffragette, gets a job as a policewoman, and proceeds to act the part. Hawkins has adventures with a ferocious cow, while trying to rob her of her milk, and in the meantime, Policewoman Hawkins manages to help a burglar to escape, while she looks up innocent victims. Policewoman Hawkins is a most efficient officer with her vanity bag and powder puff, while Hawkins creates a furore with his misadventures among the pigs and chickens. Policewoman Hawkins is "rough-housed" while attending to her duties on the force and Hawkins is nearly smothered under a road of hay. Each one gives up the job and they arrive home simultaneously. Each comforts the other, and they decide that home life is the best and happiest after all. With Her Favorite People. Grace Cunard had a great reception at the several theaters in which she appeared on her eastern trip and notably in Columbus and Chicago. Miss Cunard had several tempting offers from both moving picture companies and circuit agents, but the most tempting of all was the added inducement to remain with the big "G" the company which has brought her so prominently to the fore and which gave her the opportunities to force herself to the front ranks. She is glad to get back to the old associations. Arranging for Big Productions. Carlyle Blackwell has been a busy man lately. He has engaged the Norbig studio at Edendale with its perfect laboratories and fine company together, including Jack Dillon for heavies, Eda, Mayo for leads opposite himself, Adelaide Wise; George N. Checchia, Ollie Kirkby, and others who will appear in the four keeler, "The Key to Yesterday," by Charles Neville Buck; and put into scenario form by R. A. Dillon. Max Blackwood is general manager of the company. At least one large American moving picture corporation has felt the burden of war in the loss of employees and that is the American branch of the French house of Pathe Freres. Though the majority of the employees in this country, are Americans there are a number of Frenchmen in different departments, chief of whom are the ranking officers, Arthur Roussel and L. P. Bonvillain, the two vice-presidents. When the call went out from the French consul in New York for reservists to return to the colors, practically all of these Frenchmen received the call. Mr. Bonvillain, who is a sous-leutenant in the French army, sailed at once, to rejoin his regiment. It means separation from his young wife and infant son. Mr. Roussel is ill, with pneumonia and the news of the war has been kept from him. Mr. Bardet, the cashier, has sent his two sons who sailed on the Lorraine. With them were Mr. Monce, sous-leutenant in the French army, and son of chief director Monca of the Vincennes studio, various office clerks, cameramen, actors, directors and men in every department of the business, all prepared to make sacrifices for the good of their country. They represent every arm of the service, infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers and aviation corps. The last private advices received from France by the house were that the huge factory in Joinville-le-Pont, not far from Paris, has been requisitioned by the government as a barrack. "Germania." This is declared a wonderful five-reel photo production dealing with the war situation throughout Europe. All the scenes are genuine and authentic. It is the history of the German revolution and the coalition of the powers of Europe which caused the first rout of Napoleon in the battle of Leipzig on October 16, 1813. Napoleon scoured the whole of Europe and intoxicated by his victories, followed the course of his identity toward a tragic ending. The allied armies had been conquered many times over, but were still unhurt. The protectorate of Napoleon, weighed heavily over the kingdom of the Confederation of the Battle, for the poets, philosophers and thinkers of the, whole of Germany were united in thought; that of relieving the fatherland from the humiliation, which the emperor with his glory had imposed. The German youth associated in the famous league of Courage—the Tugendenbund—disciplined their minds and their muscles at the sacred fire of an unimaginable threat for independence. Pittsburgh Dispatch Almost Too Real. During the filming of a coming three reel feature it was found necessary to encase Alec B. Francis, leading man, in a coffin-shaped affair, in which box he was supposed to be sealed and remain until suffocated. The actor was placed, in the box, the camera recorded the scene on the film. As the coffin was hermetically sealed, all hands were congratulating each other on the strong dramatic scene, when to the horror of all concerned it was found that the cover could nob be removed, and it was feared that Mr. Francis might in reality suffocate. Three crowbars were used, and at last the lid was pried off and a half unconscious Alec Francis was supported into the open. Bessie Wynn, the famous comedienne, who at present is touring the United States in vaudeville, thinks the Hollywood studios constitute the biggest and most up-to-date toy shop in the world. She visited the studios recently and met many old friends of her "Babes in Toyland" company. She posed for the motion camera for the first time in her career, and was very much interested in her appearance upon the screen. Beginning Not a "Right." Begging Not a Right The attempt to set up and prove a "right" for blind and crippled persons to beg on the streets of the city, through a test case brought on behalf of a beggar recently committed to the house of correction, ought to be met with determined and vigorous opposition by the city authorities. There should be no question of a "right" in the matter.

IN DEEPEST WATER Secrets of the Sea Are Revealed 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 chains covered miles deep with water are being mapped and charted and are yielding to the upper world the strangest 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 "those who go down to the sea in shirts." 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 greatest depths, apparatus for shallow water investigations and a 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 floor. In the great depths the water is just above the freezing point, no matter what its temperature 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 thinnest of gauze undershirts, but wore long mittens to protect their hands and arms from the ice cold mud. This was a great comfort, too, in that blistering 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 blazing 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 water, its temperature and 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 Hawaiian islands and Japan 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 connected by one or two crossbars, twelve feet in length. Fastened to this frame is a con-shaped bag 30 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. A dial indicates the number of feet of wire out, and a pointer on a scale shows the strain, which often amounts to five or six tons, upon the cable. As soon as the dredge has reached the bottom the ship 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 lifted to the surface. The deepest haul which the Albatross 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 wung on board, the lashings at the bottom unfastened and the contents dropped upon a table. The ice cold mud is carefully washed away and the specimens 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 incandescent lamps far in front of them to light their way in the inky blackness miles below the surface; others with phosphorescent rots 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 from the terrible pressure to which they have become accustomed, their eyes often pop out of their heads and their stomachs turn inside out.

"Did you catch any fish?" asked the woman who is always encouraging. "Not one," replied her husband. "We got a couple of nibbles and then there was nothing doing all day." "Well, even if you didn't catch any I'll bet you gave them an awful scare." Training a Cook. An Irish servant is, of all people in the world, the most anxious to please, and she even desires to do exactly as she is told, even when the commands laid on her are unreasonable. In "The Lighter Sible of Irish Life," Mr. G. A. Birmingham gives an amusing instance of this trait. A young housekeeper once undertook to train a cook. One day, it happened that there were whiting for dinner. She explained carefully the proper way of cooking whiting, and with a view to achieving elegance in the serving of the dish, added that these particular fish are usually sent up to table with their tails in their mouths. The fish appeared on the dinner table, not seductively curled after the pleasant habit of whiting, but lying rigidly straight on the dish. Each of them, however, had its tail cut off and neatly inserted into its mouth. The inexperienced cook had most conscientiously obeyed what must have struck her as a merely vexatious order—Youth's Companion. When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. "I got no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve remedies I tried, because I didn't know that coffee was daily putting me back more than the doctors could put me ahead. "Finally at the suggestion of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postnum, and against my expectations I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I had drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum, but there is nothing marvelous about it—only common sense. Coffee is a destroyer—Postum is a rebuilder. That's the reason. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well bolled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves, quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 20c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Postum. — sold by Grocrow. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There are some persons who think that race antipathy, in the sense of "a dislike for the unlike" and an aversion from social contact and a repugnance toward race intermixture, has served and still serves a good purpose, is a comment of Daniel Evans in the Boston Globe. In the first place it is claimed that race antipathy has served the purpose of keeping the blood of a race pure, and thus securing 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. War was their main business, and suspicion the rule of 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 failed. 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 defend upon race antipathy. And where it is desirable that members of races more closely allied should intermary, 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 at 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 iron ore in Chile; that it proposes to ship to the United States, at 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 horse, which can tell its own age, striking its hoof on the ground 25 times, 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 turpentine industry, though it does not yet supply the home market.* Fish guano as a supplemental food for cattle, hogs and poultry is coming into general use in Germany. A private train has been built for the khedive 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. 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 continually affirmed that the best place for the colored man was on the land as a tiller of the soil. He was also certain that labor on the land should be intelligently performed, therefore 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 rather a straight line, this preacher concluded that the thing to do 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 know how to manage an educational institution. His next step was to select and equip two young men for this tusk. 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 institution, and ever since then the story of success in individual equipment and land development clusters around this man and his wife. The plant of Bettis' 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 suited, 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 after an exciting half-hour of work by a brave negro farm hand. The lad was playing with other children when some of them dared him to get into the box about the pump used for lowering cream and milk into the well to keep cool. Then he either fell or, under the stimulus of the dare, jumped 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 said that time had clung coolly and courageously to the pump box and kept his head above the water, though how he managed to grasp the pump in his fall is a mystery. The child made the line fast to his little body, and was being raised when the line broke and he fell black. 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 loss of life in a fire, of mysterious origin which threatened to, completely, destroy the Hotel Islesworth at Atlantic City, N. J. 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 abundance of fully 1,000 people, including guests of the Islesworth, who knew nothing of the blaze at their stopping place, were enjoying a moving picture show. Some one yelled fire and the audience promptly stamped for the doors in the intense excitement in the danced-hall forty women, all dressed were trumpeted on, while the panic-streaked audience tried to reach the exit. A high temperature cement which is said to work as well as fire brick in temperatures between 1,500 and 3,109 has been invented.

It first appeared as tiny clear blisters and in places the blisters; were so close together that they almost formed one large blister. The skin was rough and cracked open. At times it was so bad that it disabled me; my hands became so sore that I could scarcely use them. "I used every remedy that I could find but nothing seemed to do any good.

Luxemburg, whatever its claims to the protection of Great Britain, possesses one strange association with England that dates back 12 centuries. It is connected with the cult of St. Willibrod, the variously-spelled Saxon saint who helped to convert the Germans to Christianity—very imperfectly, as an Oxford don once dryly remarked. Every Whit Tuesday the memory of our English saint is honored at Luxemburg by a procession and religious dance which rank among the most curious survivals of medieval pageantry. Luxemburg is also a place which appeals to British naturalists, for one of the commonest birds in the public park there is the charming little black redstart, which is a rare winter visitor to England.—Daily Chronicle.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it is true. We are permitted to publish in this announcement extracts from the letters of five women. All have been recently received unsolicited. Could any evidence be more convincing? 1. HODGDON, ME.—"I had pains in both sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached and I was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an operation, but I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman."—MRS. HAYWARD SOWERS, Hodgdon, Me. 2. CHARLOTTE, N. C.—"I was in bad health for two years, with pains in both sides and was very nervous. I had a growth which the doctor said was a tumor, and I never would get well unless I had an operation. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I glatly say that I am now enjoying fine health."—MRS. ROSA SIMS, 16 Winona St., Charlotte, N.C. 3. HANOVER, PA.—"The doctor advised a severe operation, but my husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person and can do a hard day's work and not mind it."—Mrs. Ana Wilt, 196 Stock St., Hanover, Pa. 4. DECATUR, IL.—"I was sick in bed and three of the best physicians said I would have to be taken to the hospital for an operation as I had something growing in my left side. I refused to submit to the operation and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—and it worked a miracle in my case, and I tell other women what it has done for me."—Mrs. Laura A. Grusworn, 2300 Blk. East William Street, Decatur, Ill. 5. CLEVELAND, OHIO.—"I was very irregular and for several years my side pained me so that I expected to have to undergo an operation.

HAS NO INJURIOUS EFFECT Strong Denial That Presence of Tuberculosis Sanatoriums is Detriment to Adjoining Property. Convincing proof that tuberculosis sanatoriums or hospitals are not a menace to the health nor a detriment to the property of those living near such institutions is given in a pamphlet issued recently by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In an extended study of the subject the association has not been able to find a single instance where a tuberculosis sanatorium has had an injurious effect on the health of anyone living near it, nor where it has had any lasting effect upon property values. The pamphlet, entitled, "The Effect of Tuberculosis institutions on the Value and Desirability of Surrounding Property," reviews all the studies made on the subject, takes up court decisions bearing on the question and contributes besides some original investigations of typical hospitals and the opinions of prominent men, life insurance companies and others. Nearly one hundred and fifty different institutions are studied. In all these institutions not one case could be found where the assertions of opponents to their location, that a tuberculosis sanatorium would spread disease and injure property, could be substantiated. In fact, a number of instances were found where the presence of the sanatorium or hospital promoted outdoor living, tending to lower the death rate, and increase the market for produce and labor, thereby benefiting the community. Never allow children to eat when they are hot and tired; let them cool down a little first. For this reason an interval should always be allowed between work or playtime and the meal, and the nurse of governess must be instructed to bring the youngsters home at least twenty minutes before the actual meal time and in a leisurely manner. Hurrying on the "late for dinner" cry upsets both temper and digestion. If a child seems tired when it arrives, sponge its face and hands and let it lie down for a few minutes before the meal. If it falls asleep don't wake it; rest is more necessary than food at the moment and give a light meal later. "Do you prefer an automobile to a horse?" "Yes," replied Mr. Chuggins. "Because it goes faster?" "No* exactly that. But somehow I enjoy hanging around a repair shop more than loading and looking on in a livery stable."

Were it not for the Republican policy of protection the United States would not have the enormous mills and factories—temporarily or partly put out of commission by the "competitive" Tariff—to supply the domestic demand and to answer the call to come for export trade.
