Address By Hon Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor of the Treasury for the Navy Department, Delivered at Bathol Literary on Tuesday Night As a new general works about the history and work of the literary societies and their possibilities for growth, he spoke of Pethal Literary in particular. I sincerely thank you for the honor implied in extending me an invitation to open it before you. I will say that this is no literary society, at least among our people in this country better or more favourably known than this or ganization. Its name has penetrated to nearly every part of this country, and even out in Ohio, the state from which I heard of Pethal Literary is almost as venerous known as right here in Washington. The nation of the old norse is but history a formid. To my mind one of the masterpieces of fiction, the work that most accurately encompasses the great hold of human thought, action and emotion the work that in the most valuable manner interweaves the pure and impure tragedy and peace, is Victor Hugo's *Les Misérables*. It is for every country that has a moral problem, the one problem that does not hold in the lines on a map. Whenever man is growing morant and poor and in despair where every woman sells herself for bread where a child suffers for a book to teach at and for a health to warm itself Victor Hugo's *Les Misérables* knocks at the face and says, "I am to you". In the sting of civilization in which we exist the name of miserable is man. The sufferers in every chin, he groups in every tongue right here in laosted from America he stays out against impostive lake France in the days of the common country his populace, tap and blind laws that prop up it not customs. The present has the flavor of the past and today we have tyres, sports and savings.

He more true that we can and we who can rob against injustice is optimism. The very fact that some man other than our own race but that votes in our defense is proof positive that we should not be wholly cast down by presumption thoughts but should look up to the charitable bow of optimism that spins the sky for us as a people "for Miscellanies".

Each prize was presented with a very simple souvenir. Miss Green, of St Joseph and Herbert Jamison, won first prize and John Page and Miss Corn Jones booby prizes. At a live hour a dutty repast was served and all lauded declaring that one of the most enjoyable events during the holidays Great credit is due the colored people who reside near Hennetta, Ohio, for coming to the front and making a firm stand to stamp out injustices and licking. A colored boy was lynched because he defended his life by killing a Negro hostel of the rough work class. A mob gathered during the night, winked at the decentful, lying officers and away they went to the public square where a howling mob put him to death without judge or jury. The colored people who own the land and live in the surrounding country did not know of the outrage until the next morning. They arose in all their might and started in to put the town out of business. Destroyed and some of the boys could be in all over with the strangest brave voice of man who had sworn not to the Negroes can put an end to this business as may be seen by the example set by the blacks of Henrietta, and we trust that this spirit will spread throughout the states where the spirit of mob law reigns supreme. It has become common sport for a certain class of mean, low whites to take a colored man charged with a crime from the hands of willing officers and hung or burn him for the amusement of the crowds who seem to delight in witnessing such cruel deeds. It has become as common to lynch a Negro in America as bull fights in Mexico, rocking mania in the Philippines, prize fights and wrestling in England or a sword-tuck in France. The only CURE for lynching is to meet them with guns and dynamite. Oklahoma has started, let other states pattern after her magnificent example.

More than two thirds of this congregation was white, and so enthusiastic were the people that they be an to applaud the bishop and he had to stop and tell them that he was not making a speech, but preaching. The bishop made friends for his race and church at this place that shall stand when burning worlds are on fire. Saturday morning Mr Wescott brought two rings took us all out through the snow and mud eight miles in the country to see the Black Diamond gas wells and told us more about gas and the wells than we ever knew before.

And she succeeded in whatever she unles took, and she was ever ready at any time to administer to the sick, poor and needy.

Soldiers Course in Event of His Be- ing Suddenly, Awoke, Of Col. John C. Hayes, who served with distinction under Gen. Wendell Scott in the Mexican war, an amusing story is told by T. E. Farish in his "Gold Hunters of California." Hayes with his command had been scouting. On his return he made an report to Gen. Scott who sent him. Gen. Scott was a veritable man in enforcing military discipline. Her Hayes was used in the commander's headquarters. Scott said, "Col. Hayes, I have received no report of your expedition against the natives." I did not think it worth while, said Hayes. "Every officer of the army is required to make a full report of everything to his superior officers. Please make your report verbally." Hayes began by saying that he struck the padre's trail on a certain day, followed it for two days and on the third day, while his command was resting at noon and taking their stoea, the old padre came down on them. The "boys" gathered themselves together and whipped the Mexicans off, killing quite a number of the padre command. His own loss was insignificant—one killed and three wounded. "Surprised you, eh?" queried Scott. "Yes we were not expecting him." "Where were your pickets?" "Did not have any." "What!" shouted Igen. Scott. "A solonel in the regular army of the United States go into camp in the heart of the enemy's courtyard and never place a picket on guard." What would you do if surprised when sleepy?

But this was only the delayed justice that should have followed the rattle to arms of 1000 Negro soldiers who fought in the war of the Revolution or every conflict where our nation held its honor, and it was said of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth infantry and of the Grand army on the State of Illinois, when the darkest hour of defeat was most o'r-shadowing, out of the distance came a regiment as if on dresst parade faces set like stel, keeping step like machinery, moving here and there and everywhere, into that invisible storm of death passing the white soldiers to appering up the hill and never stopping till the Rough Rider 21 Canyon was won.

The Western Trade Journal in a recent article had the following to wry concerning this company: From time to time Western Trade Journal has had occasion to speak in favorable terms of several Nevada companies. We have not hesitated to recommend the stock to our readers, as our investigations of those enterprises have been such as to convince us that an legitimate promising mining enterprise nothing more secure is on the market. It is therefore a satisfaction to be able to add one more promising Nevada company to our list of reliable companies. In this connection we refer to the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., incorporated under the laws of Arizona, capital stock $1,000,600, 750,000 shares in the treasury, per value $1 fully paid and non-assetable. The company owns and is developing the highest property in the Gold Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a tunnel over 100 feet and our several good vents of rich ore, and will begin shipping soon.

S. and CLAIRA BENNES First published December 18th 07 ANNOUNCEMENT Many times in the past I have been asked by young men desiring to learn the profession of Pharmacy, who had not the necessary means nor time to take a collegiate course, if it is possible to learn Pharmacy by working in a drug store. I have replied that under ordinary circumstances it is possible, but a very tedious and up-hill undertaking, especially for a colored man in a white man's store. This expression of a desire to learn in honourable and profitable professional business, comes from so many, coupled with the great difficulty I have experienced in finding Pharmacists for my own store has impressed me with the idea that a short, but careful course of Pharmacy should be placed within the reach of those young men of young women who may desire our services.
