METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE WHITE PREACHER FINED. SUPREME COURT GIVES SIX NEGROES OF ELANE. NEW TRIAL. Six Elane Men Sentenced to Death Get New Trials Court Holds Evidence of Excluding Negroes in Selecting Jury Should Have Been Admitted Little Rock, Ark., Dec 6. On the grounds that the Phillips Circuit Court had erred in refusing to permit introduction of evidence to support a charge that prejudice in the exclusion of Negroes had been shown in selection of the present jury, the Arkansas To Court today reversed and remanded for new trials the cases of six of the Elaine Negro rioters who were under death sentence. Chicago, Ill. Dec. 8.-T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth, Kansas, the attorney of the convicted Negro soldiers in the Leavenworth Prison for participation in the Houston riots a few years since, is in Chiagco. Mr. Bell is making a nation wide appeal to the colored people to take a hand in the proceedings looking to the pardon and release from prison of the convicted soldiers. He is meeting with good success and says the people are responding to the call with commendable liberality. He will be in this city for ten or more days longer. Wayside Notes A little but late but never the less true. Brother Thomas Newman, and Sister "Ann" Flennoy, two aged and respected citizens, passed away. Bro. Newman on Dec. 6, and Sister Flennoy on the 7th. Both died in the faith. Sister Flennoy was a member of long standing in the A. M. E. church, and Bro. Newman long years of Mt. Pleasant Baptist church will be missed. Chas McClain of St Paul, Minn., ran down the line to be at the funeral of his mother's husband. The writer and Mrs. L. A. Phillips, one of the teachers of the school, Dewmaine; Gilbert Howard, and family of Carbondale, attended the funeral. Rev. A. J Bowers, Carbondale, and Rev Hadley, of Centralia, performed the funeral service. The services of Mt. Zion Baptist church, Dewmaine were good Sunday; Elders Bowers, Davis and McQueen, reported good work at their charges too last Sunday. The Mt. Olive Baptist M, D. U., and Executive Board, closed a very profitable service with the Clover Leaf Baptist church, Joppa. The preachers were at their best Elders Norment, Scates, Davis, Dr. Dorsey, Parnell, and Wesley, did the preaching. Elder P. B. French, opened the Executive Board Friday a. m. afterwhich Mod. J. B McGrary, took charge of the meeting. The whole affair was more like a revival meeting in fact that is just what it was. Read The Gazette; $2.00 White Preacher In Vice Toils Nabbed by Police While Entwined in the Arms of a Brown Skinned "Vamp." Savanah, Ga. Dec. 3 —Efforts of the police to clean out the vice district of this city, week resulted in the rounding up of Rev. C B McDaniels, prominent white evangelist of Atlanta, Ga. The resort has one of the worst reputations in the city and Rev. McDaniels was nabbed while entwined in the arms of one of the dark skinned "vamp's." He was hauled into a cell of the city jail and later asked to be tried by a jury of preachers. His excuse was that, he was conducted to the house by a hackman to whom he had applied for a quiet place to rest, and that he was unacquainted with the sections of the city. When asked what he was doing in the room with the vampire, Rev. McDaniels hesitated for a moment and was fined $100. A number of unsaved persons came forward for prayer. A number of the churches reported in a financial way. Elder W. H. Carter, Centralia, was much in evidence. It is to be regretted that pastor Cole. could not be present. Elder Stamps, acting pastor did fine service. With such men as Deacons Palmer, R. Rhodes, and others. The meeting had to be a success. More than $82 00 were realize. Missionary Henry Green made his report and was commended. Missionary Thos. Turner, sent in his report, being engaged in a meeting at Clifford, a number of professions up to the time of the writing. Deacon Isaac Watson left the Board to be present at a church meeting at Siloam, Unionville. Pres. S. H. Pruitt, conducted his meeting to the point and left feeling good. Men ought to learn to let well enough alone. Some of the ministers that felt that with one swoop that they could eclipse both associations Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive have come to the conclusion that they have undertaken a difficult task. Some of them have to learn that he who tells an untruth, that it takes another untruth, to support it, that is why the so called Zion Association is tottering because it is predicated on falsehood- Any man or set of men that would attempt to destroy the peace and harmony of these dine institutions for human organization that only meets once a year, may aptly be styled anything but a true gospel minister.

MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." FOURTH RED CROSS ROLL CALL STILL the GREATEST MOTHER in the WORLD "The Greatest Mother" concept which was visualized in the famous art poster used by the American Red Cross in its second war fund campaign has had its symbolism adapted to the Red Cross works of the post-war era and will illuminate the main poster to be used in the Fourth Roll Call November 11-25. This adaptation will bear the title "Still the Greatest Mother in the World." Everyone is familiar with the original "The Greatest Mother in the World," the effectiveness of which has been shown in part by the fact that it has furnished a synonym for Red Cross that has come to almost a household term. More than any other symbol, except the red cross itself, the public has made it the trademark of the American Red Cross. THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IN PEACE TIME Teaching First Aid Every person mentally and physically able to do so should take the American Red Cross instruction in First Aid Treatment.

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IN PEACE TIME With the Soldiers There remain in army hospitals throughout the country more than 28,000 soldiers still being treated for wounds received overseas. Red Cross workers give them the same sort of friendly aid—only more of it—that was given during the war. Furthermore, the Red Cross is teaching these ladies occupations at which they can later make a living and is keeping in touch with their home folks in order that no dependents may suffer for lack of funds.

Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhral Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

KNOW MONEY BY PICTURES How Those Who Handle Many Bills Find It Comparatively Easy to Tell Bad Ones. It is a comparatively easy matter to become an expert in the quick handling of money and also to detect bills that have been raised, according to those who have tried. A large proportion of the bills now in circulation are federal reserve notes. Those in common use have identification characteristics, in addition to the numerals, easy to memorize. Cashiers who handle large and small bills rapidly usually memorize the portrait on the bills, which are large enough to be unmistakable as the major mark of identification, with the numerals as the minor aid. The two combined are well-night infallible, save in the case of clever counterfeits.

At a dinner in New York the other day a prominent lawyer noted for his activities in rounding up investment swindlers told the following good story: "It's pittiful to see how foolish a great many people are when it comes to a question of finance. "Old Wash White is a good example of financial foolishness. When Wash's boss got back to the Delta from the North one day, he found the old man driving a fine young mule hitched to a handsome wagon. "Now, Wash was a notoriously shiftless customer, and so his boss said to him: "Where did you get that splendid turnout, Washington?" "Ah done bought it at Magnolia, sah,' said Wash. "How much did it cost you? "Ah done give mah note_fo' $200 for it, sah." "Good gracious,' said the boss, 'where do you expect to get $200 to meet your note when it falls due?" "Wash looked astonished and offended. "Fo' de Lawd's sake, boss man,' he said, 'you sho'ly don' expeck me ter give mah note an' pay, too?" Wasn't Addressing Tramp. On her way downtown the other morning the woman stopped to see a sick friend, who lives on the first floor of a remodeled private house with a bedroom overlooking a nice old-fashioned back yard. The window was open and suddenly a loud voice broke the calm of the sick-room. "You dirty bum, that's what you are," said the voice. "Of coarse you'll be comin' home now for your breakfast—and look at you, covered with dirt. It's a bum you are and not a drop of blue blood in you. Quit your whinin', you hungry stayout. Me lookin' and waitin' for you last night and worrying about you! And now I suppose you want to sleep all day and rest up for another night. You're just like the rest of your kind. It's a bum you are and nothin' else." The woman leaned out of the open window that she might see the wreck of humanity the tirade had visualized. And there was the comfortably built, immaculately clean janttress letting in her prize-winning Angora cat. Doughboy had come home for breakfast.—New York Sun. Japan's Sulphur Baths. At the foot of the volcano Asamayama in Japan there is a combination of hot sulphur and cold mineral springs. The bathing house consists of three or four substantial wooden bathing tanks, into which the hot water flows, and a wooden platform running around the room with cupboards and shelves where the people dress. Beams laid across the bathing tanks divide them into little squares, a square for each person. The duration of the time bath is regulated with great precision by the head attendant, and during the bath from 150 to 200 half litre scoops of hot sulphur water are poured over the head of the bath. Emergency Call. "We've got lizards in our basement, and I just killed a snake in the front yard. Can't you send some one out right away to kill them?" walled a voice over the telephone to William F. Cleary, clerk of the board of public works. It was a woman's voice, or Mr. Cleary would have sent a request to the board of public safety that one of the morals squabs be sent out with a suggestion that they might find whatever it was that made people "see snakes." However, he asked the board to send out an ordinary policeman to kill the reptiles—Indianapolis News. SHAKESPEAR SAID: "All The World Grant the truth now as then.

Riley, head of the "flying squadron" that hunts down profiteers for the department of justice, told a profiteer story at a Washington reception. "A sick profiteer," he said, "was told by his physician that he had only a short time to live. Accordingly, he expressed a desire to confess his sins, and a divine was sent for. "The divine entered the dying profiteer's chamber and the door was closed. An hour, two hours, three hours passed. Nothing was to be heard by the attendant nurses and physicians outside in the corridor save the steady, monotonous flow of the profiteer's confession, punctured at brief intervals by exclamations of horror and indignation on the part of the divine. "Lunch was sent into the sickroom, and the confession went on. The afternoon waned. The sun set. Night fell. The divine's dinner was carried to him. And still the profiteer continued to confess. "Haggard and unstrung, the divine at last, tuttered forth at daybreak at last tattered forth at daybreak. “Our unfortunate friend,” he said, ‘is no more. He worked very, very hard; but at the time he passed away he had only carried his confession through the first year of the war.’ COQUETTE SET NEW FASHION Favorite of French Monarch Responsible for Coiffure Which Came a Universal Style. Styles have had queer origins, and none more unique than the fontage, a style of hair dressing popular in the early part of the eighteenth century. The dressing consisted largely of doing the hair high and blinding it in place with a jeweled fillet or ribbon. At one time it was worn by every lady in the court of Louis XIV, and from there it spread to all parts of the civilized world where fashion reigned. The manner of its origin is this: The king went for a ride one morning with Mille, de Fontagne, a lovely girl with whom the king was madly in love, and who was not cold to his advances. In fact she shortly took her place as his favorite. As they rode, her hair came tumbling down, and there is reason to believe the little comedy that followed had been staged in in advance, even to the loosening of the pins that allowed her beautiful tresses to escape. At any rate, the lady slipped from her horse, and with a laugh lifted her skirts and took off a jeweled garter which she bound around her basely repiled hair. The king was delighted with the by-play, and upon arriving at the palace announced the mode the most becoming in the world. Within 24 hours every coquette and matron in the court had adopted the fashion. Learn From Lazy Man. At last some use has been found for a lazy man. The secret was revealed by F. B. Gilbreth, an efficiency expert, in a recent lecture before the polytechnic section of the American institute. W. F. WEDEKING Phone 376-r3 Res.
