C., Feb. 25—Rev Thos. R. Miller, an influential negro, at the head of a religious cult similar to the holiness sect, was tried in Municipal Court here for the abduction of of the abduction of the wives of ten other, negro men, some of them leaders of their race locally. The attendance was so large that court had to be removed from city hall to the county court house where standing room was at a premium. Miller appeared on Queen St. dressed in an elaborate ceremongown of many colors, at the head of a procession of women adherents before the trial. Prominent legal talent represented him. The court reserved sentence until after Miller is tried on other charges in connection with the abduction. Chicago Blade. From the description given of the Rev Thos R. Miller, it has ear marks of the Rev Jas, G. Mill r, formerly of Metropoli, who robbed Mrs. Geo. Blackwell, a widow of several hundred dollars and her household goods and then sent her over to Cuba, to die. The officers of the law here should use every effort apprehend him and have him back to Illinois and tried for his confidence game practiced here. Sparta.

Another thing that is worth knowing is, that a certain brother Jas. A. Clayborn was just on the eve of going to hospital in St. Louis Mo., to have an operation performed, as he had been told by a certain white doctor in a near by town that the knife was the only remedy and that he desired to be honest with him, that he like many other doctors could treat him for the money and at the same time know he could not cure him. This doctor is said to be a splendid physician, honest too, but mistaken in the case. However, Bro. Claborn, was advised by a friend to go to Dr. Springs, the noted colored physician, which he did. The Dr. made an examination and informed the patient that he could not locate any tumor, but a case of congested bowels, Strange as this may seem, in ten days or rather in a week's time he was on his road to recovery and now he is as well as ever So on your way to St. Louis, for surgical operation it will pay 'you to see Dr. Springs. The writer thinks these things are worth knowing. Please allow me space in your in your valuable paper to speak of the work in this town. I have been out of the state as pastor for more than a year. I was asked on the 2nd of January by the 1st Baptist church here to conduct a meeting of which I accepted and started in on the 13th with the Holy Spirit in front. We closed on the 31st with 32 convert of which this church received 8 for baptism and three reclaimed of which was a good personage this being a Free Baptist strong hold. Yesterday the 6th inst, they saw fit to extend to me a call of which I may accept. If I do or not the church is awake along all lines. They have a good S. S. B. Y. P. U. and mid-week prayer meeting. Pray their growth in Christ. I remain your in Christ and the Baptist.

IF HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, USE SAGE TEA Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv. Only Fair.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Dewey Green, a fourteen-year-old colored boy of Tulsa county, is Oklahoma's champion cotton raiser. His exhibit was awarded first prize at the Oklahoma state fair, eastern Oklahoma fair at Muskogee and the Tulsa county fair. What this ambitious little colored boy accomplished has brought him into favorable notice of the state board of agriculture. Dewey Green resides with his father on a farm near Jenks, in the lowlands of the Arkansas river, which cannot be excelled in Oklahoma for cotton. He was enrolled in the Tulsa County Boys' Cotton club early last year. When it was announced that Dewey had decided to join the club the white boys in the club were inclined to view the advent of a Negro boy with disdain. "You won't get anywhere in a contest with the white boys," was the fling one boy took at Deewy. "You all jes' wait till pickin' time and I'll show you who can grow cotton," was the rejoinder of the lad. On his one acre of cotton he made more money than did his father on forty acres of the same land adjoining. Not only was the yield unusually heavy, but in point of lint, number of bolls to the stalk and seed it outgraded anything shown in the three fairs. Dewey says he accomplished what he did by following out the instructions of the department of agriculture to the letter and by refusing to seek the shade when the torrid sun of July and August took all of the "play" out of experimental farming. Dewey has enrolled in the Boys' Corn club of Tulsa county and will go in for corn this year, as the disastrous luck attending the marketing of cotton owing to the war will have a tendency to eliminate cotton from the 1915 crops in Tulsa county. If anything, the Negro farmers of Tulsa county take more interest in the efforts of the government to promote scientific farming than the whites. They attend agricultural meetings and listen with rapt attention to all that is said. Many Negro farmers are going in for wheat, oats and alfalfa who until two years ago had never raised anything but cotton and corn. All who tried wheat and oats in 1914 made money. Where they have planted alfalfa they have for the first time in their lives gone in for hog raising. MaJ. Robert Russia Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton institute, in making his appeal for the school, said: "As a result of Hampton's extension work, the Negro Organization society, a movement which grew out of Hampton institute, has succeeded in getting nearly two hundred thousand colored people in the state of Virginia during "clean-up week" last April, to clean up their premises, destroy breeding places for mosquitoes, files, etc., thereby making possible better sanitary conditions for blacks and whites. The workers at Hampton, led by its self-effacing principal, Doctor Frissell, are helping in a concrete fashion to bring peace on earth and good will toward men—black men, white men, northern men, and southern men—and helping toward a peace and good will which a very large part of the civilized world, at the present time at least, seems to have quite forgotten. This year Hongkong has exported $200,000 worth of peanuts to the United States. After hearing Frederick Douglas and Anna Dickinson speak at the first Southern Loyalist convention at Philadelphia, John Minor Botts, the famous Virginian political leader, said: "Today I have heard the greatest white woman and the greatest colored orator in America. I tell you, sir, if Douglas had been a white man he would have been regarded as one of the greatest men in America." "Well, sir," was the reply of his northern listener, "we regard him as one of the greatest men in our country, even though he is a colored man." After accepting office, Douglas virtually retired from the lecture field, and whenever he appeared in public made Republican speeches. Mr. Douglas died in Washington, December, 10, 1895. Charles H. Summer of Goffstown, N. H., has an old clock, which is in a soapstone case, with dots for the hours and no numerals. The case stands about fourteen inches high. The works are peculiar, having double escapement with a straight verge and will run in any position. It is more than a century old. Speaking at New York in behalf of Hampton institute, Booker T. Washington praised the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations. "The work of these boards, should be followed into our southern states, where the money that they have given is helping to make a new South and a new civilization," he said. "I wish that those in charge of these investigations could get into the South and trace the influence of the Rockefeller and Carnegie money in bringing about better supervision of the schools." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL Booker T. Washington was the principal speaker at the annual New York meeting in the interests of Hampton institute, Virginia, at Carnegie hall. Mr. Washington said: "The Hampton institute in Virginia, whose interests bring us here tonight, more than any single institution in the South has led the way for a higher and, better civilization for both whites and blacks in the South, and the credit for this leadership is very largely due to the far-sighted, modest, unselfish, brave man, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, the principal of Hampton institute. "Aside from the millions of white people in the South, there are nine millions of black people. Taking the country as a whole, there are more black people in the United States than there are people in the Dominion of Canada, nearly as many as constitute the population of the whole of Mexico. We have enough Negroes in the United States to populate five of the smaller European countries, and then have two million remaining. "We can all congratulate ourselves that the United States congress refused a few days ago to enact that unjust law preventing more Negroes from coming into the United States. Such a law would have been unjust and needless." "While here and there we often have evidences of needless racial friction in the South, yet, when we consider what is going on in Europe, where the races are white, we may congratulate ourselves that in the South, where we have two races, different in color, that conditions are so peaceful and hopeful as they are, notwithstanding the wrongs that so frequently come to the surface. "The South just now is the most interesting place in which to live because there are so many changes taking place and so much work to be done. If the buildings of the school at Manassas need painting or repairing, the boys take care of it; all the children's shoes are kept in order, from a small patch to half soles and heels, by the young cobblers; the mattresses used in the dormitories are all made at the school; the washing for the entire school, as well as for the teachers, is done by the girls, as well as fill the housework and cooking. In fact, there are few occasions when is need to call in outside labor for a job of any sort. These boys and girls go back to their home towns or rural communities carrying with them, the inspiration of skilled usefulness and ideals of better living, and the surrounding community is showing decided signs of this influence in most gratifying ways. The school comes also in touch with the people of the country round about through the Negro Agricultural, Educational and Industrial alliance, which meets three times a year at Manassas. This brings together the farmers, ministers, teachers and leaders of industrial work among the colored people to discuss their special problems, as well as the best cultivation of the soil, crops and stock, home building, school work, co-operation of home, school and church, and any other subject which presents itself as timely. A caterpillar's eyes can see nothing at a distance beyond two-fifths of an inch. Six women, leaders in local society, members of the Wom.n's Charitable association, acted as pall bearers at the funeral at Punxutawney, Pa., of Mrs. Martha Thomas, an aged colored washwoman. The pall bearers were Mrs. James S. Lookard, Mrs. W. E. Porter, Mrs. T. C. Redding, Mrs. W. S. Sutter, Mrs. G., L. Shicker, and Mrs. T, G. Alabran. The women agreed to bury the Negress when it was found that the body would be turned over to an anatomical society, and had an undertaker prepare the body for burial. When the body was about to be removed to the cemetery, the women found they had no pall bearers. They volunteered to act and the funeral proceeded. While digging potatoes in Hope, Me., Arthur Hobart found one 12 by 15 inches in circumference. In which was a mouse nest, containing one old one and four little ones. The skin was left on the top like a trap door. A Chilean province has established two floating schools to enable the residents of its many islands to obtain an education. High-grade cattle fodder is a new French product from tomato seeds. The seeds are dried in a furnace, sifted to remove woody fiber, crushed by heated millstones, freed from oil in a hydraulic press and compressed into four-pound loaves. A striking illustration of the desire for education in Formosa is furnished by the fact that the English Prebysterton mission is founding a high school in Tainan which will cost $400,000. Toward this sum $33,000 has been contributed by non-Christian Chinese. IF BACK HURTS CLEAN KIDNEYS WITH SALTS Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for a While If the Bladder Bothers You. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases.—Adv.

MAY BE COFFEE That Causes all the Trouble When the house is afire, it's about the same as when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act—delay is dangerous—remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," wrote a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely most of the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the coffee and began to use Postum and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats strong and regularly. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. "I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum—must be well bolled. 15c and 25 packages.

It is well known that caged chaffinches are celebrated for their eagerness to compete with one another in singing. They deliver their songs alternately until one is exhausted and unable to take up his turn. So excited do the birds become that it occasionally happens that one of the competitors drops down dead. The originating and directive causes of the particular song of different kinds of birds is not understood. But it is established that they have a great gift of imitation. Parrots, piping crows, ravens and other such birds are familiar instances, while little birds such as bullfinches can be trained to whistle the melodies which human beings have invented. Even the house sparrow, which, though allied to singing finches, never sings when in natural conditions, has been converted into a songster by bringing it up in company with piping bullfinches. ANCIENTS USED DIVING BELLS Writings of Aristotle Prove That They Were in Use at Least as Early as 325 B. C. That the diving bell has been in use for many centuries is proved by the fact that Aristotle makes reference to the use of this device for exploring ocean depths about 325 B. C. A diving bell was first used in Europe in the sixteenth century A. D. In 1662 one was used on the Scotch coast in searching for the wreck of a ship of the Spanish armada. In 1716 Halley made great improvements in this machine and he was the first to set foot on the bottom of the sea by means of a diving bell. The talpa marina, or sea mole, a diving machine to be used for laying torpedoes and the like, being a cylinder provided with compressed air sufficient for two people for fifty hours; was invented by Tosselli, a Venetian, and was used in the Bay of Naples in 1871.—American Boy. THE PLAICE The plaice, whose price has increased so enormously on account of the restriction of the fishing area, is the chief food fish of Great Britain. Over £1,200,000 worth of plaice are landed here each year, and it is essentially the fish of the fried fish shops of our own East end, some of which have had to cease business owing to the Billingsgate prices. The East Ender prefers plaice even to more costly fishes, as was brought out in evidence before a parliamentary commission, and sometimes even hallibut is made to masquerade as its more plebeian relative. The tales of dogfish and sharks may be dismissed as mainly fiction, and I offer no solution as to the mystery of the large quantity of dogfish landed annually on these shores.—London Chronicle.

FRUIT LAXATIVE FOR SICK CHILD Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without gripping. When cross, irritable, feverish; or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, collo—remember, a good "inside cleaning" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs." which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Adv. Kissing Microbes.

Prehistoric man on this continent stands revealed in a new light through the discoveries made by an expedition of the American Museum of Natural History of this city, headed by Nels C. Nelson, who has returned from the Southwest. He found in a refuse heap, near an ancient pueblo community house near Santa Fe, N. M., relics which evidently date back from one to two thousand years. The strata show the rise and the decline of the races of the Southwest in the industrial arts, and especially in the making of pottery. The old tribe of the Tanos, whose collapsed dwellings are at least two thousand years old, lived in the regions over which the expedition has been carrying on its work. The refuse heap has on its lower layers broken pottery, implements of stone and utensils of all kinds, which show a race emerging from savagery. The vessels which Mr. Nelson has rescued from oblivion are mostly in fragments and his will be the task of piecing them together again. BAD PREDICAMENT A chicken is shouting at a fish in a river.

As persons in this town were on their way to church a full-grown male deer walked in from the old Pittsburgh- and Philadelphia pike road and slowly ambled down the main street, taking no heed of the group on each side of the street. It walked about for a time, perfectly at ease, and stopped in side streets, sniffing about apparently for food. No effort was made to disturb the buck, and after church service it was found standing directly across from the entrance of a church, where it boldly watched the congregation as it left the building. When but a few stragglers remained it slowly trotted off in the direction from which it had originally entered town.
