MUCH INTEREST IN SULZER HEARING Able Counsel Secured by Both Sides In Fight. SEN. WAGNER WILL PRESIDE Court of Impeachment Consists of Members of State Senate and Court of Appeals—Two-thirds Vote Necessary to Remove Sulzer Permanently. Albany, N. Y.—Not only the state of New York, but the entire Union as well, is eagerly awaiting the beginning of the impeachment trial of William Sulzer, which starts on Sept. 18. The accused will face the high court of impeachment on charges brought by the lower house of the state legislature. The hearing will be staged in the senate chamber of the state capitol at Albany. This will mark the first time a governor of an American state has faced impeachment proceedings since the year 1870, when Adelbert Ames, then governor of Mississippi, was impeached. Ames resigned before his trial, thus bringing the proceedings to an abrupt termination. State Senator Robert F. Wagner, president pro tempore of the senate, who became president of the senate when Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn was automatically promoted to the position of acting governor by reason of the charges against Sulzer, will preside at the impeachment trial of the man who was chosen chief execu- THE FORTRESS OF THE WEST Photo of Wagner, 1913, by American Press Association. BENATOR WAGNER, WHO WILL PRESIDE AT IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, AND STATE CAPITOL AT ALBANY. tive of the state of New York. The court that will say whether or not Sulzer will be restored to the position or shall be convicted of the charges will consist of the state senate and members of the court of appeals. In order to impeach a governor it is necessary to have a two-thirds vote of the court. There shall be no appeal from the decision of the high court of impeachment, and this tribunal's decision will be absolutely final. At the trial the accused governor will appear in person with his counsel and will try to disprove the charges brought against him by the legislature. If the charges be sustained and the governor is permanently removed from office then the acting governor, who in this instance is Mr. Glynn, will continue to act as governor until the next election. Whether or not Mrs. Sulzer, wife of the accused, will appear in person as a witness at the trial is a question that is attracting wide interest here. It is recalled that just prior to the time a vote was taken in the assembly on the impeachment motion the wife of the governor issued a statement claiming to be responsible for the alleged deals in Wall street stocks and endeavored to shoulder the blame. It is likely that she will take the stand at the trial of her husband and repeat this statement to the court of impeachment. Five of the most widely known lawyers in the east—former Secretary of State Philander C. Knox, former Judge D-Cady Herrick, former State Senator Harvey D. Human of Binghamton, N. Y., and former Judge Irving G. Vann of the court of appeals and former State Senator James J. Gay Gordon of Philadelphia—are attorneys for Sulzer. Besides these noted counsel Mr. Sulzer will have among his advisers former Judge Arnold and Louis Marshall. To match the legal talent retained by Sulzer the board of managers appointed by the assembly has employed as counsel John B. Stanchfield, Edgar T. Brackett, William Travers Jerome and Eugene Lamb Richards. In addition to this strong array of talent Acting Governor Glynn is also to be advised by ex-Judge Edwin Countryman a P. C. Dugan. GOETHALS AT 1915 FAIR. Canal Builder Will Head Engineering Congress at Exposition. San Francisco.—Colonel George W. Goethals, U. S. N., whose engineering genius is bringing the Panama canal into being, is to take part in the Panama-Pacific International exposition, which is to be held in this city in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the great project. Colonel Goethals, who is chairman of the isthmus canal commission and chief engineer of the Panama canal, has accepted the honorary presidency of the international engineering congress, which will be held in connection with the exposition from Sept. 20 to 25, 1915. The congress, it is promised by its promoters, will be the most notable in the history of engineering. The exposition officials have communicated with some 80,000 engineers in all parts of the world with a view of having them visit San Francisco in 1915. The congress will be conducted under the combined auspices of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. PIGEON FLIES 1,000 MILES. Record Time of 26 Hours and 30 Minutes Established. Pittsburgh, Pa.—One thousand miles, air line distance, between Abilene, Tex., and Fort Wayne, Ind., in 26 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds actual flying time was the remarkable flight of a homing pigeon belonging to O. Anderson of Fort Wayne. The records, sent to President Carney of the American Racing Pigeon union in this city for verification, were officially announced. Forty-seven birds contested in the race from the Texas city, and the record made by Mr. Anderson's bird is a world's mark. The second bird to arrive in Fort Wayne from Abilene belonged to J. Schilling. It had been on the road 36 hours, 51 minutes and 47 seconds actual flying time. The speed of Mr. Anderson's bird averaged more than thirty-eight miles an hour. FINE TO GIVE OR TAKE TIPS. Waiters Urged St. Louis Council to Pass the Ordinance. St. Louis.—The city council has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to give or receive a tip in a hotel or restaurant. A fine of from $10 to $50 may be levied for each offense. Half of the fine is to be given to the police informant of violation of the anti-tipping ordinance. The measure was passed without opposition following a public hearing in which scores of waiters attributed the local hotel employees' strike to low wages resulting from the tipping practice. Pioneer M'LEAN DEMANDS BIRD PROTECTION Urges Senate to Prohibit Importation of Plumage. FLAYS "IGNORANT" WOMEN Feather Trade and Those Who Insist on Wearing Plumes and Aigrets Snare In Abuse—Points Out Laws of Germany and Lauds Them. Senator George P. McLean of Connecticut, author of the bill to protect migratory game birds, strongly urged the senate to adopt the house provision of the tariff bill prohibiting the importation of the plumage of birds. He attacked the feather trade and denounced the "ignorant women" who insist upon plumes and aigrets in following the dictates of fashion. Senator McLean pictured the wanton destruction of birds at the nest season, the widespread dearth of birds that are enemies to insects and other posts that destroy crops and the killing of game warriors who tried to protect the feathered tribes. "The plumage trade," he declared, "has left behind it a trail of savage ```markdown ``` BENATOR GEORGE P. M'LEAN. cruelty and civilized greed and cunning and nothing whatever to commend it except the blood money it has collected from ignorant women. I say ignorant women because no woman worthy of the name will encourage this trade once she understands her responsibility for it." Referring to Germany's protest, he said that Germany for many years by imperial act had prohibited the killing of useful and beautiful birds. "Upon what ground and with what grace do the German merchants ask us to find a market for their contraband goods?" he asked. He quoted Dr. Field, Massachusetts game commissioner, in reply to the criticism that the bill would encourage the destruction of American birds. Dr. Field appeared before a congressional committee and said he had prosecuted seventy-five milliners for selling the plumage of native birds, and in every instance the dealer asserted he could not tell the native from the foreign plumage when it was received from the dealer. "It was found in these cases that all manner of beautiful American birds were killed and their plumage sent to Berlin, London or Paris and there mounted and returned to this country as foreign plumage. How easy, in these circumstances, for the traders who appeared before the finance committee to swear they never deal in American birds. And how clear it is that only by the strictest guard over our imports can we prevent the cunning dealers from stealing our birds and selling them back to us as foreign birds. "It is contended by the trade that the enactment of this law will throw out of employment those now engaged in it. The savages who do the killing Press. BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED B UGUST 30, 1913. V scarcely will excite our sympathy. As for the milliners, there is ample proof that the trade will be quickly diversed to artificial lines, which will multiply tenfold the labor now required to mount the natural plumes. "The plea that the feathers of game birds should be admitted is easily answered. Game birds are and will be imported with their feathers on, and this law will in no way affect the trade in game birds. Where the plumage of game birds is imported it is taken in the nesting season and the bodies of the birds are thrown away. The tons of ptarmigan wings recently imported from Russia meant the slaughter in the spring of tens of thousands of game birds for their wings only. "As long as birds' feathers are worth their weight in gold the birds that happen to produce them will be hunted to the uttermost parts of the earth. Nearly all the civilized nations prohibit the killing of plumage and insectivorous birds by treaty or law, or both, but there is still a vast field unguarded where the bird pirate can ply his trade as long as the highly civilized nations furnish a market for his victims. "This senate passed a resolution this session inviting the president to negotiate conventions with foreign nations for the protection of birds—not our birds, not game birds, not migratory birds, not song or insectivorous birds, but birds the avi fauna of the world." PONIES TRAINED TO EAT MATES' FLESH Micro Hardships Experienced in Crossing Greenland. Copenhagen.—The story told by Captain Koch, a Danish explorer, of the crossing of Greenland in company with three hardy companions shows that the dangers and hardships to be encountered on the great Inland ice field have not decreased since Peary and Nansen journeyed over a part of the game wastes. The Danish leader and his three companions, Dr. Wagener, a German; Larsen, a sailor, and Sigurdson, a native of Iceland, were reduced during their journey to eating a pet dog, the only animal left. After landing on July 24, 1912, the first mishap encountered was the loss of some ponies. Soon after that their motorboat disappeared through the thin ice, and the explorers had to wait until near the end of September before the ice was thick enough to bear their clodges and horses. When they were ready to start Dr. Wagener fell and broke a rib. The expedition was ten miles east of Queen Louise Land Oct. 13 and went into winter quarters. Because fodder was short all the ponies were killed except five, which were trained to eat the flesh of their brothers. During a sledging trip Captain Koch fell forty feet into a crevasse, breaking his right leg. He was helpless in the but throughout the winter in a temperature generally 50 degrees below zero. On April 20, this year, the four men broke camp and with five sleighs, each drawn by a pony, started on their 750 mile march to the west coast. For forty days blizzards raged. The ponies became snow blind and so exhausted that three were killed. Then, with the night temperature 30 below zero, the sun's rays burned' the skin from the men's faces until they looked like raw beef. On July 15 they tried to push on to the coast, which was now visible, but they were so exhausted from hunger cold and wet they could scarcely move. The only chance for life was to kill the pet dog, which had tramped with them about 800 miles. This was done and the flesh was cooked and eaten. Othello.

"Honey, Ma Honey," Was Song Whioh Touchod Her Former Husband—Fortune Has Taken Many Peculiar Turns For This Beautiful Woman. London.—Rumors that Lord Francis Hope may rewed his former wife, May Yshe, are current. Lord Hope visited the London Opera House where Miss Yshe is appearing. The former lady Hope was in excellent voice and sang "Honey, Ma Honey," that she often sung to her husband during their life together. Lord Francis is said to have been touched by the sword. Overtures for a reconciliation, it is said, have been made through Lord Francis' brother, the Duke of Newcastle, and the duke's lawyer, Mr. Isilt, husband of Adeline Gence. Fortune has taken many turns for May Yohe. She was at the height of success when she was married to Lord Francis Hope in 1953. She was the most celebrated actress of three continents, young and beautiful. Her marriage was a turning point. In the twenty years since then she has run the gamut of misfortune. May Yohe started her career in a church choir near Philadelphia and MAY YOHE, WHO, IT IS SAID, MAY BE REWED TO LORD FRANCIS HOPE. soon went on the stage. She became a favorite and had many suitors. She chose Lord Francis Hope. Her wedding gift from him was the famous Hope blue diamond, taken from the head of an Indian idol and said to have brought bad luck to every one who ever wore it. May Yohe was no exception to the rule. After living with Lord Francis seven years she met Major Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of an ex-mayor of New York, and eloped with him in 1899. Lord Hope secured a divorce, and Strong and Miss Yohe were married. After a number of separations and after Strong had been forced to resign from the army, they separated permanently in 1905. In April, 1907, she was married to J. Newton Brown. He did not last long. Congress is still hammering away.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1913 Just such item foolery in court over Thaw, is what caused that fine structure of Cincinnati to be burned to the ground. It is a miserable example for the United States and Canada to act because and only because Thaw has plenty of money. Had he been a poor fellow, he would have been dead, rotten and forgotten. If observation's statement to the world be correct, it is unknown when to let a typhoid fever patient go out. In Wisconsin, one of the most advanced dairies, under no conditions will hire any person who has had typhoid fever; from the fact careful scrutiny says for months after patients are pronounced well and are going about they spread the disease. If that be true, and we have no right to doubt it, as much care should be taken of the supposedly well patients as required to cure them when confined to their rooms and beds. If one man—and that one man is Senator Clapp—by a resolution to investigate why colored employees in governmental departments are segregated, caused the orders to so do, to be taken down, how easily could the Republican party have so acted that nothing of the kind would exist in this, the boasted "land of the free and the home of the brave?" If we were the cause of the war because of slavery, and freed by them with whom we fought and helped saved the stars and stripes why are we not good enough to live as free men under them? As The Pioneer Press forecasted many months ago, Hon. Stuart W. Walker, one of Martinsburg's foremost citizens, and among the State's best lawyers, will be named as United States Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia. Colonel Walker has been recommended by United States Senator William E. Chilton, and it goes without saying that he will be named by President Wilson. The plum which our genial and handsome townman is about to pluck, is now possessed by Hon. H. Roy Waugh, formerly of Buckhannon, but now of Parkersburg. The Pioneer Press congratulates Colonel Walker on his forthcoming good fortune, because it views him as a man with whose existence God had something to do. The case of the colored girl, Cook by name, charged with infanticide, at her home in this city on Monday last, is pitiable in the extreme. Ignorant, possibly half frantic in the condition which she found herself, she is deserving of a bit of sympathy while undergoing oensure from the public, which is many times a barsh judge. The circumstances in connection with the death of her babe ought to be carefully gone into, and if there be extenuating circumstances, she should have the benefit thereof. Much more could be said in regard to this sad affair, but not wishing to be guilty of any impropriety, we will close by saying that strenuous efforts ought to be made to arrest and punish all reducers, and then there will be fewer recurrences of acts like the one the Cook girl stands charged with. Statements made above, are wholly disinterested, the writer having never seen, nor even heard of the girl until Monday last, but he is a lover of fair play. Back to the farm theory of Booker Washington, carries with it, back to a worse condition than before the war, unless every person owned, or, by going to the land, could own about ten acres, to work and do as he pleased with it as the constitution says he may. If every man owned ten, five, three, or indeed, one acre of good land and enjoyed all the constitutional blessings voucheafed to him, strikes would be unbeard of or if they now and then happened, the land owners could smoke their pipes of peace and whistle yankeedoodle. If you read and study carefully the Irish situation for centuries, back to the land, caused it. The same is true of Mexico and European countries. The biggest curses to man have come from the land for hundreds of years and will for hundreds to come. The real panacea for the ills of the Negroes, is honesty, industry, economy and above all a similar love for his kith and kin, that one Indian, Japanese and Italian has for another, and until he has it all that others do or try to do for him, will not be casting bread upon the waters. Having met Booker T. Washington's self praising body years ago, and being a bit curious to know if any change has taken place for the better, while in Philadelphia last week we went to Music Fund Hall Thursday night to find that if anything, it is worse. How absurd for men to come from all sections of the South on jimorow cars or chartered ones to prevent it, and from sections where they are disfranchised, lynched and shot down like dogs, and hold up that section for praise. Not a word was said against these curses, not a word against segregation, at home and especially at the Nation's Capitol—Napier himself was as dumb as a clam on the way he had been treated. "Back to the farm! back to the farm!!" was the slogan. The Negroes have been on the farms of America for over three hundred years. For two hundred and forty eight years, they were thereon as slaves and since that time they have been on the farm in a far worse condition than it was possible for them to be as slaves; for now and for years and years past they go in debt to start and work hard, late and early and try all they can to save; they never get out of debt. If however, they have too much sense and see through this method of back to the farm and will not acquiesce, they are arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison, from where they are placed in peonage pens, where none but God knows how they suffer. Why did they not condemn such brutality as above referred to? SULZER ASSAILED FOR VIR TUES, NOT FOR FAULTS. Quite regardless of Governor Sulzer's mistakes or faults, it is an undoubted fact that he has shown high courage and great virtue as Governor of the State of New York during the brief period of his incumbency; and it is further true that the bitterness of the attacks upon him which have led to the impeachment proceedings have been precisely in proportion to his exercise of political courage and public virtue in the discharge of his duties. However great or small his misdoings, his only fault in the eyes of those who are seeking his downfall lies in the fact that he has been, from their standpoint, to use their own word, an "impossible" Governor; that is to say, it has been impossible to get him to obey "Charlie" Mur- phy, whether by threatenings cojolings. The Legislature had adjourned on May 3, having refused to pass the Statewide primary bill that the Democratic platform had promised the people, and that Governor Sulzer demanded. Although there was little hope of getting any reversal of its action from the present Legislature, Governor Sulzer called a special session, and set June 16 for its beginning. The Governor took the stump and attempted to bring popular pressure to bear upon members of the Legislature. But Murphy himself was obdurate, and the Murphy control remained unshaken. Under the State constitution, a Legislature called in special session may only consider subjects expressly laid before it by the Governor. The special session rejected again the Governor's primary election bill, and sent up to him again for his veto its own bill, so framed as to permit the machines to control the situation through their conventions. Some other matters were submitted by the Governor which are not pertinent for us to present in this connection. The fight became every day more bitter, and the Governor's attacks upon Murphy and Tammany had by this time gone so far as to preclude all hope of reconciliation or compromise. The Governor was determined to destroy the Tammany boss, and the Tammany boss in turn saw no way of escape except to destroy the Governor. A good many weeks ago, according to private political information that came to us from sources that we regard as trustworthy, the Tammany leaders and the powerful interests behind them had determined to impeach the Governor in order to get him out of the way. A mere majority vote of the lower branch of the Legislature is all that is needed to start impeachment proceedings. This majority was in the absolute control of Tammany. It was the theory of Tammany lawyers that, under the Constitution of New York, the beginning of such proceedings would summarily suspend the Governor from his office and put the Lieutenant Governor in his place with full and unrestricted authority as Governor. At that time the Tammany machine had not decided what kind of charges they would bring against the Governor. Attempts were made to find him guilty of some impropriety in a law case twenty five or thirty years ago. In these matters he was completely exonerated. A breach of promise suit was brought, which seemed on its face absurd, because it related to affairs long since gone by. Finally an investigating committee of the Legislature was set to work to find out things against the Governor which could be used as a basis of charges in impeachment proceedings. From "The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for September. EMERSON, HIGH PRIEST OF EFFICIENCY. Harrington Emerson is the man who made Efficiency a national slogan. It was he who startled the nation by saying, "I can show the railroads how to save a million dollars a day." It was he who first discovered for himself the principles of Efficiency, in a remarkable career of romance and adventure, and who then persistently compelled the whole United States to respect the new ideas and to listen to the gospel of Efficiency. Efficiency! Thanks to Emerson and his coworkers, this word has become the keynote of American business. It is the watchword of our trade conventions. It is the text of speeches, endorsed by Harvard University, by the City of New York, by the Federal Government. It is no longer a mere set of theories. It has been so widely adopted by corpora. tions and public officials, that we may fairly call it the art of success, worked out from the American point of view. The Emerson definition of Efficiency is "the elimination of all needless wastes, in material, in labor and in equipment, so as to reduce cost's, increase profits and raise wages." The Roosevelt definition is "applying the conservation principle of production." The Brandeis definition is "universal preparedness." My own definition is "the securing of a higher percentage of results, by applying scientific methods to the activities of the business world." No definition, however, can be very accurate, for the reason that Efficiency is now. Very little of it has been written down in books. As a general tendency, it is everywhere; but as a clear cut system of thought, it exists only in the minds of a comparatively small number of men. Those who appreciate and understand Efficiency are too busy to explain it to others. They are applying what they know and learning more. Naturally, they are somewhat inclined to keep this valuable new knowledge to themselves, just as the gold miner, who has struck a rich vein of yellow treasure, is inclined to be secretive about his good luck. The total literature of Efficiency would barely fill a five foot shelf, and most of the books are special studies of one problem or one trade. Just as there was only one book in 1865 which gave a general explanation of the theory of evolution—Darwin's "Origin of Species," so there is today only one book which gives a general explanation of the Efficiency movement.—Emerson's "Twelve Principles of Efficiency."—From "The Story of Emerson, High Priest of the New Science of Efficiency," by Herbert N. Casson, in the American Review of Reviews for September. Anecdotal Literature BY W. G. McTAVISH'S HORSES Alfred G Vanderbilt was talking in New York about the marked improvement in American horse flesh, due, in part to his own work. "We no longer see such horses," he said, 'as McTavish used to drive. He was a farmer and used to buy for farm use broken down nags that he paid about fifty cents a piece for. One day, with half a dozen of these nags, he was returning from a horse sale, when he came to a toll gate where the toll was thirty cents, and McTavish had spent all his money. He pondered a long time about what he should do, and finally said to the tollman. I can't pay the toll, and the long and short of it is, you'll have to take a horse." THIRTEEN. Jones, a man about town, had become so poor that often, donning his shabby clothes, he had either to bone his friends for a dinner or go hungry. Thus he dropped in on a former crony at meal time and said: "I thought I'd just drop in. I knew you were giving a dinner and that your guests numbered thirteen. So as your wife is superstitious about that number, I thought I'd just drop in, and make her feel easy." "But" said the host," you're quite wrong. Jones; we are not thirteen, but just twelve." "Well." said Jones, as he drew off his shabby old overcoat. I'll sit down anyhow, if only to laugh your wife out of her superstitious whim." Knicker—'What is the pie beit?' --- Rocker—"The one the Democrat have to pull in another notch." Lotta Crabtree, the actress, talking in Boston about the winter overshoes that she stands ready to bestow upon the horses of the Hub said: "these shoes which prevent fall, are badly needed in cold weather. If the horses could voice their Christmas wish, they would speak as pointedly as a little lad I know." "This little lad desired a watch for Christmas. He announced this desire time and again, and finally had refuge to the Bible, as follows: It was the rule in the household for the children to memorize and repeat every Sunday at breakfast verse from the Scriptures. The little boy repeated one Sunday near Christmas this appropriate passage—"And what I say unto you, I say unto all—Watch." CHIPS. Beauty is a short lived tyranny. William Henry Harrison served the shortest time as president. He died one month after his inauguration. The greatest gold producing states are California, Colorado and Nevada. It is said to be unlucky to be born on Friday, but Presidents Washington, Madison, Monroe, Pierce and Hayes were born on Friday. William Henry and Benjamin Harrison are said to be descendants of Pocahontas and John Rolle. SAILMORE 400-222-2222 BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD. Corrected to Deci st. 1912.

Whether the entrance examinations for the Naval academy are so rigid as to be virtually prohibitive is a question the navy department is to leave to the decision of a jury of 2,000 educators. It has just become known that the department, stung by repeated charges that the examinations were unfair and illogical, had determined to submit the matter to 2,000 high school principals and college professors in every part of the United States. Rear Admiral Victor Blue has already ordered printed 2,500 copies of the latest examination paper, and these will soon be sent broadcast. Accompanying each copy will be a series of queries, which when answered by the educators are calculated to settle for good the controversy over the "stiffness" of the examinations. Here are the leading questions the educators are asked to answer: "Is the examination too difficult for the ordinary high school student in his third year?" "Pick out the questions which seem improper in an examination for entrance to the Naval academy." "How long should each examination require?" Charges have been made in congress that the examination is so difficult and unusual that it serves to bar the average youth from the service. Figures have been produced for the purpose of showing that fewer than one-half of the aspirants pass it. DRIED CANTALOUPE NOW. Discovery Will Turn to Profit Millions of Wasted Small Ones. Los Angeles, Cal.-With the perfection of experiments now going on California will give to the world another luxious dried fruit—the dried cantaloupe. They will turn into profit some of the millions of small cantaloupes left in the fields every year. Thomas D. McCall of El Centro accidentally discovered the fine qualities of the dried article. McCall had dumped a great heap of cantaloupes to one side, several breaking open. These dried and threw out such a fine aroma that. McCall was attracted and tasted them. They were excellent, and now cantaloupe growers are drying all of their small melons. The dried variety is said to have a much finer flavor than the fresh fruit. BOY GYPSIES STOLE 17 YEARS AGO FOUND Knew Only His Name Was Fred Before Identification. Watertown, N. Y.—Frederick Brosseau, twenty-four, who was kidnapped by gypsies nearly seventeen years ago, has been restored to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brosseau of Sissonyville, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., who had long mourned him as dead. On Oct. 14, 1806, young Brosseau left home to meet his father at the edge of the village. That was the last seen of the boy in Sissonyville. About a week ago a young man deserted from a band of gypsies in the Canadian wilds and took refuge with the monks of Oka, whose isolated monastery is forty miles from Montreal. He could remember nothing of his history previous to becoming a member of the band, except that he had been called Fred and that his former home was in northern New York. The presence of the wanderer was reported by the monks to the Montreal police, and an aunt of the young man recognized his picture in a newspaper. The parents were notified and went to Montreal, where they positively identified Brosseau by a birthmark. He is being detained by the police as a witness against some of the gypsies who are under arrest charged with kidnapping. WILSON TO TRAVEL IN FALL.

Hughes writes as follows: "I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford's Black-Draught, and quit taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did not have any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me—haven't had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black-Draught has done for me." Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for derangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest.

SPANY, CHICAGO, ILL. For Thirty Years PIONEER PRESS Has been the leader in this State and Nation for the grand and noble fight that is being waged for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro. The PIONEER PRESS was never known to lag or trifle in any matter where the interest of the race was involved. For this characteristic, THE PRESS should have the unswerving support and encouragement of Negroes everywhere. It contains reliable news, interesting editorials and clever special articles. It is safely recommended to you as a perfect newspaper for the home and family. IT LEADS in the quantity of original matter which it furnishes its patrons. IT LEADS in its spicy editorials and fearless sayings. IT LEADS in its general, local and miscellany pages. TAKEN all in all, we don't feel that we are exaggerating when we state that The PIONEER PRESS is one of the best all around weekly papers in this country today. WE ARE not alone in making this statement, for some of the best and most prominent men of the United States have done likewise. These persons above referred to, were not confined to one particular race, either, but to both. THE PIONEER PRESS Has the LARGEST city circulation— The LARGEST Foreign circulation— The LARGEST domestic and general circulation— The LARGEST county and rural circulation of any Negro newspaper in the United States— Has the LARGEST Anglo Saxon circulation— WHY IS THE ABOVE SO? BECAUSE it is the pioneer of this section in blazing the way for truth, honesty, piety and frugality and all other requisites that are necessary for the making of manly men and womanly women of all races.
