Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET AUTUMN. The leaves are falling one by one, And then again in showers, The fogs and daws and hazy sun, All tell of fleeting hours; The bees are gone, And life is shorn Of much of its fond glamor. The butterfly Soars not on high, Promoting thus the drama. The dried up streams begin to flow, While colors rise and mellow On foliage all around us glow; And apples red and yellow, Lie on the ground, And all around We hear the gladsome voices Of old and young In joyous song, While all the world rejoices. Thus Autumn brings the harvest home Produced by all seasons, Winter. Spring and Summer some, And Autumn with them reasons: All mine are thine, And thine are mine, So let us live, And take and give.

SPRINGFIELD, O.-In a letter to Samuel E. Huffman, of this city, Governor Thomas, of Colorado, makes a direct charge against a sheriff in connection with the Porter atrocity. The following is the letter: "Dear Sir:— I am in receipt of your letter of the 19th relative to the recent lynching of Porter in Linecoln County, this state, and am obliged for your words of commendation. This offense is unusually atrocious in that it involves well as homicide. The Segregat was arrested on suspicion by the police authorities my order he was held in custody in spite of the demands of the sheriff of Linecoln County until he confessed his crime. I held him for two days afterwards and as long as any probability of violence from citizens of this county existed. WHY HE PERMITTED IT. I then permitted his surrender to the sheriff upon agreement based upon the instructions of the district attorney that the prisoner would not be removed from the county for at least a year. In the absence of the had every reason to believe he was guilty. Indeed I was so confident of it that I left the city the following morning on private business and only learned of its violation and the burning of the prisoner after it had been committed. Sheriff Freeman in cold-blood disregard of his orders and his promise, took his prisoner to certain death, delivered him to the mob upon a mere pretense of violence, and I think participated in what followed. I made no public comment at the time, for I felt too deeply the humiliation involved in the criminal lawlessness of this officer to at once announce it to the world. Every effort will be used to punish him, but unfortunately the entire county, which is small in population, was implicated in the affair. Sincerely yours. C. A. THOYAS Governor."

Thus Declares the Colonial Secretary in Replying to Charges That He and His Relatives Were Profiting by Government War Contracts. London, Dec. 11.—In the house of commons yesterday Mr. D. Lloyd-George, Radical, member for Carman-von district, brought together a series of accusations against Mr. Chamberlain that had been signing in the newspaper and moved that no member of the government ought to have a direct or indirect interest in concerns competing for government contracts. He pointed out that the secretary of state for the colonies held 5,600 shares and other members of his family 67,000 shares in the Birmingham trust, which in turn was a share owner in the Tubes Limited, making £10,000 a year out of government contracts. He asserted also that Mr. Chamberlain and his relations held shares worth from £230,000 to £250,000 in Elliott's Metal company, contractors to the admiralty, and shares valued at £250,000 in Kynech's Dynamite company, contractors to the war office. After enumerating other companies in which the Chamberlain family, he asserted, had interests, Mr. George declared that he was not attacking the private character of the minister, but had raised the matter because "this case might be used as a precedent later to justify corruption." After various speeches for and against the resolution Mr. Chamberlain replied: "It is my personal honor that is involved in this question," he said, "and I think it hard, after 25 years of life in the full light of parliament, to have to stand up and explain that I am not a secondhand thief. These attacks are not on me, he said. I took no notice of the charges during the nation, although there had been a conspiracy of insnuffaction. I had been charged with fattening on the profits of a war I had provoked. "Of all the companies mentioned I hold shares in two. My relations intend to take legal proceedings and the public will see how these adominable charges will be dealt with by the courts. My relations are all business men and have had to make their own fortunes. I come of a family which boasts nothing of distinguished birth or inherited wealth, but has an unbroken record for nearly two centuries of unstained commercial integrity. Never during the whole course of my political career have I been asked to use my influence to secure pecuniary gain for myself or my relations." Proceeding to explain his connection with the two companies Mr. Chamberlain said he had joined the Colombo company 28 years ago. Its shares had never been quoted on the stock exchange. The contract to build huts for Boer prisoners in Ceylon was given to the Colombo company on the responsibility of the local government, without any communication with himself. So far as the Birmingham trust was concerned, he said, he knew nothing whatever of its investments, although he had not ascertained that there was a trifling investment in the Tubes Limited, since his business managed the business of that organization, but the company's already small business, the admiralty had largely decreased. After having made further explanations of a similar kind, Mr. Chamberlain exclaimed, amid ministerial cheers: "Is it not hard to have to deal with such rubbish as this? When all is reckoned up perhaps my indirect interest in government contracts is a few pounds or even shillings. And yet the house of commons is called upon to pas a solemn resolution which will not strike me, but will be a self denying ordinance for many members who do not anticipate that result." His son, Mr. J. Austen Chamberlain, financial secretary to the treasury department, followed with similar denials. Mr. R. B. Haldane, Radical member for Haddaftonshire, and others spoke, after which Mr. Lloyd-George's motion, which was offered as an amendment to the address, was rejected by a vote of 269 to 127. Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, the government leader, then moved the closure, which was carried by 253 votes against 106, and the address to the throne was adopted by 265 votes against 23. Low Rates For Bugale Exposition LOW Rates For Buffalo Exposition. Chicago, Dec. 12. It is likely that a rate as low as one fare for the round trip, and possibly one cent a mile, may be authorised by the railroads for the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo next summer. General passenger agents of the lines east of Chicago and St. Paul and west of Pittsburgh and Buffalo had a conference here yesterday to consider fares and arrangements for the exposition. Child Punished for Years Berklin furnished for Less Majesty. Berlin, Dec. 12.—Max Lensmann, the 16-year-old son of a Berlin lawyer, has been dismissed from his gymnasium and forbidden to enter any other in Prussia for committing less majesty when the principal of the gymnasium mentioned to the pupils the recent attempt upon the life of Emperor William Portsmouth, Va., Dec. 1.—John Bullock, charged with the murder of Chief of Police Walsh, of Freebold, N. J., was captured here yesterday. Bullock was badly wounded before being subdued. Thomasston, Ga., Dec. 10.—Charles Byce, a well known young man, was killed by Cliff Harnberger here yesterday, being shot twice in the chest, in a dispute over 50 cents. Harnberger was seriously cut. A coroner's jury brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 10.—It is announced that the first shipment of negroes from the south to Monrovia, Africa, will leave Birmingham Jan. 30 for Savannah, from which point they will sail. The colonists go under the auspices of the Librarian Colonization company. There will be 250 negroes in this shipment. Another lot will go within six or eight months. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 7.—As a result of a bill presented in the recent session of the legislature to prohibit children under 12 years of age working in the cotton mills of the state the mill owners of Georgia, have formed an association to stop the practice. Since the organization of the mill owners the advocates of the bill have decided not to insist on its passage. Winchester, Va., Dec. 6.—Ella Brown, a young colored woman of the county, pleaded guilty in the county court this afternoon to housebreaking and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. She was indicted in September last for entering the house of M. J. Hardesty, at Lenore, and stealing a quantity of clothing. She is the first woman to be sent to the penitentiary from this city. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 18.—Rev. William E. Johnson was yesterday acquitted of the murder of William T. Bellinger, court stenographer, at Bamburg, last April. The jury did not come in until 5 o'clock yesterday morning. The reverend prisoner received the verdict calmly, and filled his pulpit at 11 o'clock. He and Bellinger had had a dispute over a fence separating their homes. He seized a shotgun and Bellinger a pistol. Rome, Ga., Dec. 8.—Mrs. Joseph White was found dead yesterday afternoon on her farm, 12 miles west of here. Her head was crushed and her body denuded. She went out in the field to work in the morning, and it is supposed she was attacked and criminally assaulted. Sheriff Camp, of this county, is working on the case. The community is greatly excited, and if the assailant is caught lynching probably will be the result. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 6.—William Bullock, the murderer of Chief of Police James Walsh, of Freehold, N. J., who was captured by Detectives Garrett and Myers, of Bertie and Hertford, N. C., is still alive in Norfolk jail, though physicians fear that the wounds inflicted by Bullock's captors will prove fatal. Bullock today admitted that he killed Walsh and escaped from Monmouth county (N. J.) jail while awaiting execution. The identification of Bullock is complete. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 7.—The special committee of the lower house appointed to visit certain convict camps in this state is said to have found 72 white and black convicts sleeping in an apartment about 60 by 75 feet in size. They found that the hospital is about 18 by 18 feet in size, and that whites and blacks are required to occupy it together when sick. They also learned that whites and blacks are fed out of buckets in the same apartment in which they sleep. The punishment of this camp is said to be too severe. Danville, Va., Dec. 6.—Jailer George White had an exciting experience tonight with Vestor Griffin, the negro under sentence to be hanged Dec. 14. The condemned man, grown desperate, burned up nearly all his clothing, wrenched the sash from the window and loosened bricks from the wall with this. He defied Jailer White to secure him. The latter grappled with the powerful prisoner and, aided by two policemen, secured the man after an exciting struggle, and put him in irons. Griffin's crime was the murder of Georgia King, his paramour. Kenova, W. Va., Dec. 2.—Robert Bailey, a wealthy farmer, and who is also an extensive timber merchant along the Twelve Pole river, was shot and instantly killed by Charles Smith. The murder occurred on Garrett's creek, 20 miles south, at the home of Smith. Smith was a renter of Bailey, and no one was present at the trouble except his immediate family. The supposition is that they quarreled over a debt which Smith owed Bailey. Smith, who is in jail, alleges that Bailey was attempting to strike him with a club. Bailey was 46 years of age, and was prominent in county politics. A WEEK'S NEWS CONDENSED New York's India famine relief committee disbanded yesterday, after expanding $23,528.

Robert to the pulpit and it was voted that he have free access to it all times. There was a warm discussion on Brother Benjamin Scott and Brother J. J. Carter spoke very plainly. Brother James Patterson was in evidence here in the defense of Brother Scott and it was decided that the latter was not under charge. Brother Patterson assured the body that in his capacity as a white-washer, it was necessary for Brother Scott to go all over town. Rev, W. H.

A COLORED INVENTOR THE St. Louis Globe DEMOGRAPH announces the existence of a colored inductor there, named JEFFERSON GARY who has patented a freight and passenger elevator on different operating principles from any now in existence. It does away with all cables or weights now commonly used and substitutes therefor a threaded shaft, upon which the elevator moves up and down, with an automatic safety device which prevents accidents through elevator falls. It is claimed that elevator made under his designs are cheaper than those made under any other system. GARY never operated an elevator in his life, and never used any machinery other than a hammer during the time he was employed as a rooster. Most of his life has been spent as a house servant. He is at present employed as a house-man on Westminster Place, near Ventnorer Ave. St. Louis. Mo. He is 40 years of age, married, and has lived in St. Louis ten years, coming there from Eufaula, Ala. He was induced to work on the elevator scheme by hearing a family by whom he was employed discussing the fall of a down town elevator. He has worked on his invention for six years, and at the time was without education, being barely able to write his own name. He interested a number of colored men in his plans and they agreed to put up the money for the patents and drawings. The patent has later been secured. Gary's home is at 322 Cozens Ave., St. Louis, Mo. To the public: This is to certify that Ella Forrester has the full confidence of us, and is looked upon and treated as a member of the household. She has charge of the house; nothing is looked up, she has no knowledge of what thing. Rumors to the effect that she is the highest or truthful are without the silhouette foundation and should be stopped. 5 NIGHTS BAZAAR. The Ladies Auxiliary of Lewis H.

Detectives Came.—Mrs. Williams Fredleament. Detectives found furs and silks to the value of $1,800 in the parlor of Mrs. Susan Willi- ms a highly respect- ed colored lady, Ne. 1018 St. John St. Tuesday night. They were packed in a sugar barrel, and in one long bundle. The colored lady was the only prised member of the group when the detectives found the comparatively insignificant-looking barrel and bundle so full of valuable articles. The furs and silks were stolen from Mrs. Ellis both Hoffman, of No. 1781 N.S., Washington. The story of host they came to reach Richmond is rath er long. Colonel Hoffman United States army regiment of husbands of Mrs. Hoffman died at Atlantic City last summer. He and Mrs. Hoffman had for years been prominent figures in Washington society. WEALTRY PEOPLE. They were very wealthy. Colonel Hoffman and his wife went to Atlantic City last a summer for the bent-fit of the the former's health. He died. In September x Mrs Hoffman sent the colored butler back to Washington to open up the residence as she proposed to come home in a week or two. The only servants left with Mrs. Hoffmann were her white maid and the colored cook. After the departure of the butler, the cook. Sarah Finley, complained to Mrs. Hoffman of the loss of $10 which she alleged, had been stolen by the butler. Mrs Hoffman at once discharged the butler, and sent the cook to Washington to open up the house. Sarah went down to Washington, and in a day of two wired that a large quantity of furs and silk portieres had been stolen from the house. THE BURGLARY REPORTED. Mrs. Hoffman came to Washington, reported the burglary to the police, and upon her suggestion the butler was arrested. Mrs. Hoffman was read to believe the butler guilty, but woul not hear to the arrest of the cook, wha had been in the employ of the famil for years. Three detectives tried vain to establish the guilt of somebody but failed. The case was then give. to Detectives Sam L. Brown and Henry Lacy, of the Metropolitan force. HARD TO CONVINCE HER. They saw Mrs. Hoffman at her home, Sunday, and tried to convince her that her cook had stolen the property. The cook was known to be listening to the conversation. On Monday morning the cook, Sarah Tinsley, was arrested, she confessed, after being in jail several hours. She said she had shipped some of the furs to Richmond. HAD BEEN SENT HERE. The detectives discovered that they had been sent to Mrs. Susan Williams, but no address was given. Detective Brown same down from Washington Tuesday night and at once communicated with the Richmond detectives. S.geant Aleck Thompson, chief of detectives, and Walter Schleif, went to work with Brown, and in an hour or two had found Mrs. Susan William's house at 1018 St. John street, and the missing property in the parlor. She had not opened the packages, and had no idea whence they came. The detectives say she tells the truth when she says she did not know who sent her the package. Sarah Tinsley is originally from Richmond or Henrieco. She was coming down here in few days on a visit. The detectives tell a story which she had written to Mrs. Susan Williams, telling her to send the packages to a certain person in Henrieco whose name the officers will not give. The property was taken to the Second Station, and sent back to Washington. The butler has been discharged. CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR HOLIDAY RATES Mr. B. B.

Sacrificed Ambition to Subdue Factional Insurrection in Republica Ranka—Series of Speaker Pennington. HON. CHAMP CLARK, of Missouri, one of the most gifted and versatile statesmen ever sent to the national house of representatives by any constituency, as well as one of the most honorable and affectionately companionable of men, is writing a series of stories for prominent Sunday newspapers, under the caption: "Cloak Room Tales." All of these stories are interesting, and your correspondent is thereby incited to tell a few stories before the brilliant and versatile Clark gets here, and does the "scoop" act, by printing them ahead of the writer. The passing away of the great financial authority, the greatest of Ohio statesmen, John Sherman; the man who loved his fellowmen, but whose manner was so lacking in personal magnetism that people said he was cold and unapproachable; the man who gave away many thousands of dollars in charity to union soldiers, as the writer personally knows; the passing away of John Sherman reminds one of a story which shows his true greatness better than anything that has ever been printed about him. It was told by the late Senator Harlan, of Iowa. Senator Harlan was one of the greatest men Iowa ever produced in national affairs; and, in early youth, your correspondent was led by him into the educational pathway with gentle, loving kindness. Senator Harlan said, many years ago, and I made notes of it at the time: John Sherman amazed me when he gave up the great office of speaker of the house of representatives. He did it voluntarily in the interest of his party. But it was not merely his giving up the great office that amazed me. It was the fact that he gave it up to one far his inferior in every way. When Sam Rardall was defeated he gave way to as great a man as himself. Carlisle, of Kentucky, was well worthy to take Randall's place. Randall could have had no such feelings as permeated the breast of John Sherman, when he gave way to one who was wholly unfitted for the high official position. Some of the disappointments of Life are extremely hard to bear; and one of the most supreme trials is greatness is to give way to those who are inferior, but who have what is commonly called 'luck.' Before telling you what Sherman suffered, let me say that Grant's greatest trial in life must have been, when, with a full knowledge of his own genius, he surrendered his command to the incompetent Halleck, after the battle of Pittsburgh Landing; after he had won at Fort Henry, and after his brilliant achievements at Belmont and Fort Donelson. "But, let me tell you about John Sherman's self-abnegation. At the special session of the congress, in 1861, John Sherman was the caucus nominee of his party for the leadership. There were many ballots without a choice. Finally, as a matter of patriotism, John Sherman, entitled to the office, withdrew and thereby made possible the election of Pennington, of New Jersey. It must have been hard for John Sherman to do this, because Pennington was an old man, almost in his dotage. He was a good man, and had been a strong man in his prime; but he was utterly unfit to preside over the house of representatives, while John Sherman was easily the ablest man in the house. "Speaker Pennington would have been helpless in the presiding officer's chair if it had not been for a young man, or rather a youth, named Thad Morris. He had been a page boy for five or six THE NOES HAVE IT." years, and had made parliamentary law a constant study. He was ambitious to become a statesman, just as Arthur Bue Gorman, a little page boy in the senate, aspired to political honors. That made fellow Gorman succeeded, and was for many years a senator from Maryland, and he was for several years the only accredited leader of his party in the affairs. But the page boy in the house of representatives died at an early age. However, he rendered splendid service during that congress as the speaker's page; in that capacity being really the de facto presiding officer of the house of representatives, voicing as he was. Speaker Pennington repended upon him to dictate all of the "While the house was in session, Thad Morris stood beside the desk of the speaker, ready to prompt him on all subjects which might require a ruling by the presiding omeer. There was no man on the floor of the house, not a single member of the body, not even John Sherman himself, who knew the rules, the precedents and the intricacies of the parchamentary procedure of the house better than the youth, Thad Morris. Whether he knew other things so well I do not know, but he certainly knew more parchamentary law than any other boy o' his age ever knew. "Sometimes very ridiculous things occurred because of Pennington's absolute dependence upon the youth. Thad' could not whisper anything to the old man privately without causing trouble. Speaker Pennington depended upon Morris so absolutely that he felt called upon often to repeat whatever Thad said, and he often did so when it was entirely out of order. Whenever Thad would begin to whisper an explanation of some ruling about to "THE CHOIR WILL COME TO ORDER." be made the old man would begin to repeat, parrot-like, what the boy was saying, and the house would be convulsed with laughter. "Speaker Pennington would often begin talking before Thad could conclude a sentence intended only for his private ear. This would embarrass the boy, and he would not conclude his statement. That would leave Speaker Pennington's utterance unfinished, and he knew not how to conclude. All of the representatives understood the situation, knew that the boy was the real presiding officer, and they would throw the house into a confusion of shouts and yells of decision. The opposition party would make the most of it, of course. "As I said, Pennington was one of the best of men; a man of pure life and upright character; a man who had always been respected by everybody. He had rendered his district and his state conspicuous service. He was loyal, faithful and good. But when he was elected speaker he was so old and infirm that he should not have been selected for the position. "John Sherman keenly felt the situation; keenly felt that the man who succeeded in guiding the office was not, at that time of life, in any sense his equal. John Sherman was a powerful man and in his prime. Two years later, when the speakership was easily within his grasp, he gave it up reluctantly and accepted an election to the senate, where he remained so long and rendered such splendid service to his country." Some very interesting things occur in the house of representatives, which are not only cloakroom tales, but are history. There are occasions when the house becomes a body of jolly old boys, and they play all sorts of pranks. About ten years ago the present speaker of the house, Hon. D. B. Henderson, of Iowa, was absent when a quorum was necessary for an all-night session. Everybody knew that nothing would be accomplished at the night session, nothing but a lot of political wrangling; and many of the members went to places of amusement. The house ordered the sergeant-at-arms to arrest absent members and bring them in. One of these absentees was Henderson. Carlisle was presiding when Henderson was brought before the bar of the house and asked what excuse he had for absenting himself. He made some sort of explanation, when a republican member moved "that the gentleman from Iowa be fined $5,000 for his absence." Speaker Carlisle said: "It is moved that the gentleman from Iowa be fined $5,000. All in favor of the motion say 'aye.'" There was a chorus of "ayes." The motion was apparently carried unanimously, and people in the gallery were beginning to feel sorry for Henderson, when Speaker Carlisle said: "There are no 'ayes,' and a majority of 'noes,' and the gentleman is forgiven." There was a shout of approval of the decision of the speaker, because there was not a man in the house who really wanted popular Dave Henderson fined, particularly because no other absentee had been fined or reproved. It was simply the play and fun of the thing that made them vote for the fine, and Carlisle appalled it. When the congress adjourned last June a recess of ten minutes was taken before adjournment. The representatives crowded into the aisle before the speaker's chair and sang all sorts of songs. Democrats and republicans mingled together and made the big hall ring with their music. They sang "Dixie," "Star Spangled Banner," "Bonnie Blue Flag," "Yankee Doodle" and other popular airs. At last, when the hour for adjournment arrived, Speaker Henderson took up the gavel to call the house to order, when the members all pointed their fingers at him and sang: "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." When they had concluded Speaker Henderson rapped with his gavel, saying: "The chair will come to order; also the house." The speaker delivered a brief and eloquent farewell address and the house adjourned with a lot of more jollification and singing. Africa's Largest City.

They had been married three months and were having their thirteenth quarrel—always an unlucky number. "You only married me for my money," he said. "I didn't do anything of the kind," she retorted. "Well, you didn't marry me because you loved me." "I know I didn't." "In heaven's name, what did you marry me for, then?" "Just to make that hateful Susan Miller you were engaged to, cry her eyes out because she had to give you up."

That gray squirrels are fast and long-distance swimmers was proved the other day to the entire satisfaction of Thomas Donnellon, the ferryman at Middle Haddam. He heard two gray squirrels chattering and scolding on a tree near the bank of the river. Suddenly a fierce fight took place, and the larger squirrel jumped from the tree into the river. Tom saw the dive taken by the gray, and watched for his appearance with great interest. The squirrel, instead of striking out for the nearby shore, started for the opposite side. A strong current was running, and though the waves ran high the little animal breasted them like a veteran. Tom followed in his boat. When the middle of the river was reached and he had gained on the gray he quickened his stroke, but the squirrel forged ahead, gaining the shore 15 or 20 feet ahead of his would-be captor.—Hartford Courant. His Skin Acted Well. A young English actor who had impressed his manager favorably was cast for a difficult role in a new production and his success or failure in it was a matter of vital importance to his future reputation. After the second act on the opening night his friend, William Gilbert, the popular dramatist and libertist, went behind the scenes fully realizing that in a kindly word or a sympathetic criticism he would bring hope or despair to the actor. However, on seeing that his friend was in a profuse periphrase he could not resist his own cleverness and contented himself with merely remarking: "How well your skin acts." — San Francisco Argomut.

In Turkey and certain parts of Asia, where Mohammedans abound, a Mussulman's grave is never opened again in any case. In order to avoid the least attempt the graves are huddled together, and immediately after the funeral a cypress is planted on the grave, so that their cemetery resemble a sort of forest. In the island of Jinor funerals are often retarded through the necessity of collecting funds for the funeral fete. As soon as the grave is filled up a young palm is planted. The custom of floral and plant offerings in homage to the dead has been general from time immemorial. The ancient Greeks not only strewed flowers over the grave, but also planted asphodel and mallow, because the seeds of these plants were supposed to serve as food for the dead. Romans, like the Greeks, attributed a special value to the rose as a funeral flower. — Meehan's Monthly. Australia's Open social Ware Australia's Queen Social Ways. Perhaps some of the strangest stories in Australian social life are those unfolded in the advertisement columns of the daily papers, which contain scores of notices of clairvoyants, palmists, king and queen gypsies, and fortune tellers pure and simple.

Registry offices for marriage are another specialty, which announce "parsons of all denominations always on the premises to promptly and legally marry people at an inclusive charge of 15 shilling.

BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER. BEFORE. AFTER Recognizing the fact that there are many SO CALLED hair growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through its fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

"So do I, so do I, but what's that to him. He don't care a snap what we think of him. Well, we can show him there are more ways than one to make him care." Tom Winslow was the leader among his friends, and what he said usually carried weight. The three boys were walking arm in arm from school, kicking the rustling leaves before them. They were greatly interested in the subject under discussion, and the lovely blue sky and twitter of birds on the mild October afternoon were lost to them. "I'll tell you, boys. Let's go over to the house, out by the grape arbor, and talk this thing over. No one will catch a word, and I have a plan," suggested Tom. The conference was held that afternoon and a plan laid which the boys were to carry out the next night. Tom was spokesman, and he talked earnestly between grapes. "Now, this is my plan: We all have air guns, and there's plenty of good shot, and if we can't climb over his force because of that great bulldog we want spoil his apples for him. We'll get Jim, Harry and Lou, and with ours there will be six guns. We can take some short ladders and climb up far enough to shoot, and we'll just pepper those apples so full of shot he won't have a tooth left if he tries to eat one. It's good moonlight, and we can see to aim pretty straight, and old bully can have a dose, too." Mr. Brown, against whom this plot was laid, was a bachelor and a man of means, but was very close-fisted, and he showed his penurious spirit by never offering an apple to anyone, although the trees were loaded. The boys had even asked for a little fruit, but were refused, and soon after a high board fence with a barbed wire along the top was built around the archd; and, what was verse, a surly bulldog took up his abode at Mr. Brown's. The trio seemed to think the plan a fine one, and all ate another bunch of grapes to seal the compact. Mrs. Winslow called supper, and Bert and Ernest were invited to stay. This was an unexpected pleasure and always a treat, as the Winslow home was full of good cheer and welcome, especially to the boys of Medeville. "About nutting time, isn't it, boys? This warm weather won't last long. We'll have a frost one of these nights, and then hurrah for the hiekories! That reminds me;" the boys nudged one another and winked sly winks, and grandpa had a merry twinkle in his blue eyes. "Next to my father's farm," resumed the old man, "when I was about your age, there lived a man by the name of Silas Holmes, and he was as 'mean as dirt,' we used to say. He was honest enough and a good worker, but as stingy as people were ever made. We boys grew to hate Silas, and not without reason, for he watched us day and night, for fear we might somehow coax a melon or an apple over the fence. "He seemed to gloat over the idea that he alone raised and ate chestmuts. We boys got more angry each year, and finally things came to a erisis. One evening just at dusk I was going from the barn to the corncrib and I saw a figure in the melon patch; supposing it was father or Brother Jim. I went on, but on second thought turned back just in time to see Silas climbing the fence with a big watermelon under his arm. I called out: 'Good evening, Mr. Holmes,' and he called back: 'G'd evenin', Tommy.' "I was dumfounded, but concluded to keep my counsel until Bill, my younger brother, and I got to bed. Then we talked the matter over and decided to wait until chestnuts were ripe and have our revenge in some way. October days soon came, with the dropping leaves and the yellow corn, and we were busy making jack o' lanterns to light the barn, for we were to have the annual corn-husking bee at our place. All hands were set to work that day; the old barn was swept and great boughs hung about the sides and from the rafters, and the pumpkin men never shone so brightly. "We had laid our plans. Bill, Jack Hardy, who lived the other side of Silas, and myself. Of course Silas would be at the husking, and as the women were all busy getting the supper his daughter, Sally, would be over early to help. We all liked Sally; she kept house for her father. Yes, she was a good girl, but she had to toe the mark. About eight o'clock the folks began to come, and by nine o'clock the barn was full. Supper was announced about 11 o'clock, and then came our chance. "We stole away to the cornerbite, where we had hidden our bags, and then crept back of the barn, through the melon patch, across Sillas' garden to the other side of the house, over the fence and away across a field to where six big chestnuts stood, with the moonlight streaming over their heads. We decided that Jack should climb the tree and shake, while we filled cur bags, and then one of us would take his place and the other help him fill his. We were getting on fingly, when we were startled by noise, not an unusual one, but a sound resembling a moan, then all was quiet. "Give us another shake, Jack," I called; 'then'll come up.' I had no sooner said it than a louder moan same from near by. We were frightened by this time, and Billy whispered; 'A ghost!' "Ishaw! I said, 'ghosts don't make a noise, and there is no such thing, anyway,' and I bravely turned my head and looked about us. There it was, coming slowly towards us—white and specter-like—moving steadily from tree to tree, and you can imagine our hearts were thumping lively. 'Billy,' I said, getting close to him, 'hang on to your bag and well run.' I called to Jack, softly; 'Come on, Jack; drop quick, and you can have half my nuts.' "Before he could answer we heard some one sobbing, and soon a voice called out: 'Oh, boys, come quick! I'm so sorry, so sorry!' "This was no ghost, but Sally, holding Jack's head in her lap and trying to revive him. He had fallen from the tree and broken his arm in his hurry to follow us, and, frightened nearly to death at being left alone with the ghost, had fainted. Sally then told her story. She had overheard us boys talking one day and knew of our plan to 'boon' the nuts, and thought she would have some fun out of it. "We all went home feeling glad Jack's accident was no worse. Sally told a straight story to her people, saying we all went over to her house and Jack fell from a tree. The doctor was there and set his arm, and he was our hero, but no one knew of our ghost and the stolen nuts." "Is that all we had?" "No." Grandpa Winslow said, "there's a sequel. At Christmas time we were all invited to Silas Holmes' to dinner, an unheard of thing, and we went with wonder and curiosity sticking out all over us. There was a big turkey and all sorts of good things, and in the center of the table a great dish of chestnuts, but they were not disturbed until evening, when we were all invited into the great kitchen, and Silas said while we roasted chestnuts he would tell us a tale. Then he told of how when he was a boy he fell in the creek and our father jumped in and helped him out, and another time when he grew up his house burned, and father and mother took him with his wife and Sally into their own home, and kept them until his house was rebuilt. Then when Mrs. Holmes died, leaving Sally a little girl, mother used to care for her and helped him get along until she was old enough t) do the work herself, and so he rambled on. "Father spoke up and said: 'There, there, Silas, that will do.' We wondered what was coming. Silas took the big dish of nuts and asked father to empty them on the hearth and as the nuts rolled out a big, yellow envelope fell on top of the pile. Father picked it up and on it was written: 'A Merry Christmas, from Sally and Silas.' "Some years before this father had met with misfortune and was obliged to put a mortgage on our home. We boys knew the struggle he was having, and how mother was growing sad. "I'M SO SORRY, SO SORRY." There seemed only trouble ahead of us all. Silas said as father held the envelope: 'You boys, I know, have thought I was mean about the nuts, but I decided long ago to devote the proceeds of the sale of the chestnuts to my one desire—to in some way show my appreciation of your father's kindness to me. This money was all extra to me and I would not miss it, so Sally and I have carefully hoarded the nuts, not eating them ourselves. They are scarcce about here and bring a good price, and I am the happiest man in the county this Christmas morning to be able to say to you, Joseph, that your home is clear.' "Father had sunk into a chair and mother had drawn her chair close to Sally and they both cried, of course, but we boys gave one big cheer for Uncle Si, and I knew he was as glad as we, and more so. "But what about that melon he stole?" asked Tom. "Oh, yes, the melon. "Why, I found out soon after that Sally had asked father for it, as she had company come unexpectedly, and Silas went to get it, and never dreamed I thought anything wrong of it. Then, too, about the ghost. Sally told Silas our plan and they needed the nuts to finish the payment and took that way to keep them, you see. We always liked Uncle Si after that, and we always had all the nuts we could eat and, what was better, we learned that we should not judge people by their seemingly unpleasant or rough exterior, for often underneath the surface there is a warm and tender heart." There was silence for a time, and grandpa wondered if the boys guessed why he told the story or that he had been behind the grape arbor. "I don't believe we had better buy any more shot, do you, Tom?" asked Ernest. "No. Say, weren't Silas and Sally bricks?"—Detroit Free Press. Cities in the United States.

A Curious Incident. One of London's papers, presumably well informed as to the mental peculiarities of its readers, gravely records that not long ago there lay on the table in a West end club a list of members who had put down their names for an approaching house dinner. A workman on a ladder, who was putting the finishing touches to the decoration of the ceiling, let fall a single minute drop of red paint. This dropped on the first name on the list and obliterated it as if with the stroke of a pen. "Some of the members who observed the incident," continues the impressive narrative, "thought it a very bad omen; others, like Hamlet, defied augury. But, curiously enough, the member whose name had thus been struck out was taken ill next day, and died in the club on the night before the dinner was to have taken place." We fail to see in this sequence of events anything that is "curious enough," or even curious at all, but opinions of such matters differ widely, and it is well known that our dear cousins are much more easily interested in the pseudo-supernatural than people with shorter histories.—N. Y. Times. Geneine Gratitude The portly statesman in the black outwaxy coat lighted his cigar, leaned against the bar and puffed away contentedly. Like most New York barrooms, it was a cosmopolitan place, full of many sorts of people. A lean, hungry-looking individual with grimy hands and the beard of an anarchist approached the portly gentleman cautiously. Number of Persons Lyncked from January 5th. "I say, boss, could you not let me have a nickel?" he began, tentatively. "What's the trouble?" asked the other. "Well, you see, the fact is I haven't a cent, and I was cut on an awful spree last night—and I want a beer." He got the nickel. He looked at the coin meditatively for a time and then at his banefactor. "Say," he ejaculated at last, "you're a good fellow. I wish I had another nickel so I could treat you." —N. Y. Mail and Express. Carpeted Rivery. The search for convenient ways of transportation by which the products of the Sudan may reach the outer world has called attention to a remarkable phenomenon of vegetable life on some of the head waters and tributaries of the Nile. This consists of enormous growths of papyrus and other plants, completely covering the streams and forming carpets of vegetation two or three feet thick, beneath which flows the water. Navigation by small boat is, of course, entirely interrupted by this obstruction, which is in places supplemented by vines and clinging plants which arch the streams from bank to bank. Heavy floods occasionally sweep away the accumulations of plants, but they are quickly reformed.—Youth's Companion. Women Convicts in Austria Austria is the one country in the world which never puts a woman in prison. Instead of giving the female criminal so many months in jail she is sent, no matter how terrible is her record, to one or other of the convents devoted for the purpose, and there kept during the time for which she is sentenced. The convent is not a mere prison in disguise, for its courtyard stands open all day long, the only bar to egress a nun who acts as portress, just as in other convents.—Buffalo Express. More Remains of Ancient Man In some grottoes in Algeria French explorers have recently discovered stone implements mingled with the remains of extinct animals belonging to Quaternary times. Further explorations indicate that during the age when the grottoes were inhabited the coast of Algeria had a configuration different from that of to-day. Among the animals associated with the ancient inhabitants of Algeria were the rhinoceros, the hippopotamus and various species of ruminants.—Scientific American.

For the last 27 years a war has been going on between the Dutch and the people of Acheen, in north Sumatra. Since 1873 up to the present time this war has cost the Netherlands something like $100,000,000, and over 100,000 lives have been lost on the two sides.—N. Y. Sun.

SATURDAY, DEC. 15, 1900 Every young man should read colored race journals. We must continue to show our young people the necessity of having good manners. Do not be discouraged, colored men. We have white friends. Let us encourage them in aiding us to better our condition. It's all right to look out for yourself alone, but you should not forget those associated with you. When the day of adversity comes to the race, all will suffer. The lawless white elements are now up against the business interests of the country. This is satisfactory to the colored brother, who is confident as to the result of the conflict. We should support race enterprises, save our money and become a benefit to the community in which we live, instead of a burden. Rev. Scott C. Wool, the brilliant Episcopal rector is now vice-principal of the St. Paul's Normal and Industrial School. A better selection could not have been made, and the management has need to congratulate itself upon such an addition to its faculty. MR. ORUMPAOKER'S BILL. THE CRUMPACKER BILL which has been offered in the House of Representatives is now the subject of general discussion throughout the country. It is an effort to enforce that provision of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which is as follows. "But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof is desired to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime; the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty one years of age in such state." The states of LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, SOUTH CAROLINA, and NORTH CAROLINA come directly under these provisions and are therefore vehemently protesting against the enforcement of the law. Certainly if these states have eliminated the Negro as a voter, fair play demands teat they relinquish their right to the representation which his electoral power confers upon them. The northern states are beginning to awaken to the fact that a white man's vote in South Carolina is just double in effectiveness to a white man's vote in New York. The colored brother is watching the controversy with interest, for now he beholds his bitterest enemies using golden arguments in favor of his continued enfranchisement. may prescribe regulations for prison's government and discipline, and it is evident that it is under this section which the Newport News, Va., council is acting. The demand is being made for restricted franchise. When the citizen of color becomes the scape goat, the laboring white man may well tremble. No argument as yet adduced has been used with more teiling effect upon the presentions of the laboring white man, than that which has been used against the Negro. In other words, a prisoner who has violated no city ordinances, but who has been guilty of stealing, burglary, arson or murder cannot be punished with stripes, while a man who has only offended in a nominal way and been guilty of violating a city ordinance can be lashed at the will of the jailer A more absurd construction and enforcement of the law could not be conceived of. The following letter explains itself, showing as it does the brutality of the authorities at Newport News, Va. There is no remedy in the courts. The remedy is in the hands of the politicians who control the affairs o. newport News, Va. There are open-hearted, generous, liberal minded white men to whom an appeal can be made, and we have no doubt that if properly approached, they will lead a erusade against this most abominable relle lof barbarism. There is no room for the whipping post in Virginia. Dear Sir:--In this city of late, there has been organized by the authorities here a Chain-gang consisting of Negroes who have sentences from ten days to twelve months in jail. Very recently the bosses of the different gangs started a law by which they claim they can whip a prisoner for insubordination. I was given ten lashes across my bare back with a buggy whip on the thigh, and every lyle tie the skin from my back. Knowing you to be a friend in a distress, I hereby ask you to give me some information regarding the "Whipping Post." As I understand it at present the Legislature of Virginia, abolished that law twenty years ago, and to-day I think that this law here conflicts with the laws of this state. Philadelphia, Dec. 12.—Two men and one woman were run down by trains and killed almost instantly at different times yesterday on the New York division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The woman, Mrs. Nancy Clark, was a sister of Andrew G. Curtin, the famous governor of Pennsylvania during the civil war. She was killed in the afternoon at Torresdale. The men were James J. McCarry, of Croydon, and Carroll Quaggle, of Bristol. They were railroad hands, and were killed last night near Croydon. "At I am without funds and I think I can enter suit against the city of Newport News, I write you to inform you that if you think a suit can be made out of the case and you are willing to conduct it. I am willing to do so any terma you may name.

THE CHICAGO DRAINAGE CANAL As the Nucleus For a Waterway Which It Is Urged Should Be Surveyed by Government Engineers as a Basis For Considering the Subject. Washington, Dec. 12.—The merits of the project for connecting the Mississippi river and the great lakes by way of the Chicago sanitary canal was considered at a special meeting of the river and harbor committee, held in the private lobby of the house of representatives last night. The main purpose of the meeting was to hear from a number of Chicago gentlemen—members of the Illinois Valley association—who have been identified with the sanitary canal project, including Lyman E. Cooley, the eminent engineer; Gel. Isaac Taylor, of Poerla; Frank Wenter, of the board of trustees of the sanitary canal, and Henry Mayo, of Ottawa, Ills. The Merchants' Exchange of St. Louis was represented by H. R. Whitmore. Senators Cullum and Mason, of Illinois, and the entire Illinois delegation in the house of representatives were also present, the senators and some of the members making addresses after the technical branches of the subject had been presented. Col. Taylor was the first speaker. He pointed out the magnitude of the work already done, and explained in detail the nature of the project and the cost up to this time. He said it was not asked that at this time congress take up the work, developing the full national advantages of the waterway, but that a survey be made by government engineers to serve as an intelligent basis for considering the entire subject. Mr. L. C. Cooley set forth the engineering features of the project. He said the waterway not only would serve for navigation, but also would develop horse power worth $20,000,000 annually. He maintained that a waterway connecting Chicago and St. Louis would be justified even without the Mississippi river, owing to the enormous commercial development it would bring about. He spoke also of the ultimate development of extensive navigation, chiefly by barges, between the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Mayo, of Ottawa, Ill., addressed himself to meeting the statement, which he said, had been frequently made, that the movement for a great waterway was an afterthought of the sanitary canal project, with a view to unloading it on the government. He said that the state always had kept in mind the construction of such a great waterway, and when the sanitary canal was projected distinct provision was made to have it conform to the general system which the state desires to carry out in the future. Chicago did not then or now seek to unload anything. On the contrary, the state imposed conditions on Chicago, adding an expense of $10,000,000, in order that plans for future navigation might be carried out. Mr. Wenter, of the board of trustees of the sanitary canal, said that when the question had been presented to the people of Chicago they had always raised their voice for a waterway which should be not only for the disposal of sewage, but also for navigation, and the people had invariably assented to taxation for the full realization of the commercial project. Senator Cullom spoke earnestly in favor of the survey. There was no purpose to commit congress to the expenditure of $25,000,000, he said, but only to secure an intelligent inquiry which would serve as a basis for future action by congress. Ever since he was a boy, the senator said, he had heard of this project, so that it could hardly be considered an afterthought of the drainage product. Senator Mason and several of the Illinois members of the house were also heard from. Evans For United States Senator. Minneapolis, Dec. 12—Robert G. Evans, of Minneapolis, is now the only avowed candidate for the United States senatorship made vacant by the recent death of Cushman Kellogg Davis. At a meeting of the Hennepin county delegate last night announcement of the withdrawal of Thomas Shevlin from the rise was formally made. Then followed statement from Thomas Lowry and Loren Fletcher that they have no desire for the plan. This left the field clear for Evans, and the vote that was taken showed the following result: Evans, 14; Fletcher, 1; Lowry, 1; Pillsbury, 1. A formal ballot followed, which showed a gain of one for Evans and a loss of one for Pillsbury. Evans was then declared the choice of Hennepin county. Negro Jealousy and Murder. Woodstown, N. J., Dec. 12—Oscar Hendrickson, colored, aged 20 years, was shot and killed yesterday afternoon by Lewis Bailey, also colored, and about the same age, on the farm of Frank Borton, two miles from here, where Hendrickson was employed. Bailey was a farm hand on the farm of Ira Duell, near here, and went to the Borton farm, where he quarreled with Hendrickson over a woman. They had a heated argument, which was ended by Bailey drawing a revolver and shooting Hendrickson dead. The murderer escaped on a bicycle. Hasleton's Biggest Pay Day. Hazleton, Pa., Dec. 12. - Within the next week a total of about $478,206 will be distributed in wages by the various coal companies of this region, making one of the biggest pay days in the history of Hazleton. The mines have been operated steadily since the recent strike, which, together with the 10 per cent increase granted by all the companies, will run the pay rolls away beyond what they have been for corresponding periods in previous years. The estimate is based on a careful canvass of all the coal companies offices. THE MUSICIAN TOP_NOTCH OF STYLE LOW PRICE!

Much Harm Done by So-Called "Private Detectives." Most of Them Thrive on the Misfortunes of Their Fellow Men-Disliked by Regular Secret Service Officers. [Special Chicago Letter.] THE "private detective" is what might be called a problematical character. His services are at the disposal of anyone and for any purpose whatsoever. He thrives only in large cities where men and women lose their individuality and 6d can "cut up capers" without much risk of being discovered. The regular detective fills a useful place. He protects society against thieves and lawbreakers and brings violators of the statutes to justice. The private detective, on the other hand, promotes violations of social laws and rarely appears in any other than the divorce court. In the course of a suit for separate maintenance recently tried before a Chicago judge an unjustly accused husband characterized the sleuth who had collected the filmy evidence produced against him as a "sevenger among moral blacklegs and a prince of liars." Occasionally one encounters a private detective who is an exception to the rule, who is truly helpful to his employers and a valuable member of society. Such was the commendable character of the man employed by a well-known Chicago physician who had received a number of anonymous letters assailing the reputation of his wife, in whom, by the way, he had perfect faith. The doctor suspected one of his neighbors of the authorhip of the scurrilous letters, and engaged the detective to collect evidence against him. The detective at once declared that the anonymous communicated wars written by a woman, and that the chiography bore no resemblance to that of the gentleman suspected by client. By sheer accident he picked up a little note in the doctor's office, the writing in which attracted his attention. He compared it with the libelous documents and at once jumped to the conclusion that both were written by the same person. An hour later he again called on his client and learned that the note had been written by the doctor's own wife. Without committing himself, he called on this lady and boldly accused her of being the author of the letters defaming herself. She broke down and confessed. When questioned as to the motive of her strange act she explained that her husband had formed the habit of spending his earnings at the club and neglecting her, and that she thought that by arousing his jealousy she might be able to keen A him at home. When informed of the discovery the doctor felt like throttling the detective, but the unexpected appearance of the repentant letter writer prevented a catastrophe. Thus far, the detectives' story goes this incident might be classed among the romances, but the sequel was a tragedy. Instead of reforming his habits, the doctor spent more evenings at his club than ever before, and eventually the woman made every statement contained in her correspondent letter. true. She became a drankard and a frequenter of questionable resorts, and now is an inmate of the insane asylum at Kankakee. Among the amusing cases which were brought to a happy termination. by the same detective was that of a young couple who had too much time and money for their own good. The man in the comedy was employed in a bank, the woman was the daughter of a wealthy stock yards man. After the honeymoon they got just a little bit tired of each other, and to give variety to a life of ease both began to answer personal advertisements in certain Sunday newspapers. Neither had the least attention of doing anything wrong—all they wanted was a little fun. But playing with fire is a dangerous thing. By and by Mr. Man formed the acquaintance of a "little widow fond of congenial companion," and Mrs. Man became quite chummy with a "stranger in the city who wishes to meet a refined lady under 30." The friendships thus formed never ripened into intimacy, but both Mr. and Mrs. Man began to suspect each and thought the time had arrived to collect "testimony." Bright and early one Monday morning Mr. Man appeared at the detective's office and told his tale of woe. An hour or two later Mrs. Man arrived and related her troubles. The detective, who had been a schoolmate of Mrs. Man's father, concluded to clear the atmosphere by setting as the private adviser of both. He told Mr. Man to insert an advertisement in the Sunday newspaper which had caused all the wrangling of the "acquaintance of a prepossessing young lady to accompany the advertiser, a young man of irreproachable character, to the opera." Then he advised Mrs. Man to use the codumins of the same paper, for the purpose of "forming the acquaintance of a distinguished-looking gentleman of fine social position." Having baited the trap, the detective advised the two allies to answer each other's advertisements. Both appointed the parlor of a downtown hotel as the meeting place; and the detective was on hand to introduce them to each other. The absurdity of the denouement was superb, and taught two young foes a lesson which they have not yet forgotten. To show the meanness to which some of these private detectives will resort to make business it is only necessary to make mention of a oase which was brought to light during a recent divorce trial. Mrs. Jones, a charming young married woman, who, to use a colloquial phrase, was completely wrapped up in her husband, had a brother noted among his companions as an inveterate gambler and race O RIGHTEOUS CASTIGATION. by the court. Later on he was thrashed w:thin an inch of his life by Jones, and after he had recovered from the first castigation fell into the hands of Mrs. Jones' brother to receive a second drubbing. A number of the latter's friends promised to repeat the dose from time to time, and Sherlock concluded to shake the dust of Chicago from his feet. Police officials state that private detectives are responsible for fully 50 per cent. of all the domestic difficulties and misunderstandings aired in the courts of our large cities; and judges have several times gone so far as to caution jurors not to place too much confidence in the statements of hired spies who thrive on the misfortunes of others and enrich themselves by robing men and women of faith in each other and confidence in their friends and neighbors.

There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not every one who placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what be or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind makes the reason why. It is simply that the reason why make the able to study human nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of physeology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minda what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a plaint is the art used by many unprincipled mediums, but to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Ms. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are inrangers in our midst with oily tongue, perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable mysteries has been secured by MRS.

Prevents Hair Falling Out, Removes Dandruff Stops Itching and Restores Luxuriant Growth to Shining Scalps, Evebrows and Evelashes. A PRIME PACKAGE FREE. MISS DELLA JONES of Calvert, Texas Those who are losing their hair or have parted with their locks can have it stored by - remedy that is sent free to all. A Cincinnati firm has conduced that the best way to convince people that hair can be grown on any head is to let them try it, and see for themselves. All sorts of theories have been advanced to account for falling hair, but after all it is the remedy we are after and not the theory. People who need more hair, or are anxious to have what they have, or from sickness, dandruff or other causes have lost their hair should at once send their names to the Altenheim Medical Dispensary 231 Butterstein-id Building Cincinnati, Ohio. A cent stamp to cover postage, and they will forward prepaid by mail, a sufficient free trial package of their remedy to fully prove its remarkable action in quickly removing all trace of dandruff and disease and forcing a new growth of hair. The incar is not a new experiment and no one need fear that it is harmful. I secured John Bruner Postmaster of Millville, Henry Co. Ind., and he strongly urges everyone to try it. A Methodist preacher, Victor A. Faioux of Tracy City, Tenn., was perfectly bald on his face and for many years, but has now a fine growth. M. S. C. W. Castleman 848 Main St., Riverside Cal., reports her husband's shiny head which soft, fine hair and she has derived wonderful benefit. Among others who have the remedy is the wife of Geo. Diederich General Agent of the Big Four K. R. Dayton O. who was entirely cured of baldness. The president of Fairmount College, Sulphur, Ky., Prof B. F. Turner, was bald for thirty years and now has a splendid growth of hair from having tried this remarkable remedy. Write today for a free trial package.

HOW SHE SAVED IT Miss Della Jones of Calvert, Tex., relates an interesting Experience. Used a Free Trial Package of a Remedy and the Result Was Wonderful. Nothing can be more unfunny to a lady than to lose her hair. To see it gradually getting thinner and thinner and the bald spot growing larger and larger day by day is apt to cause maln choly and be a cause of taking cold and a rious sickness. Miss Deena Jones prom nent in Calver. Text, colored society was having serious trouble with her hair but fortunately saw the notice of of the celebrated Foo treatment. She sent for a free trial package and says: "It affords me the greatest pleasure to say that everything regarding the treatment is just as represented. I had no faith in it, but since it costs nothing to try I used it and my hair has now been saved and restored to its original growth. Am very much pleased to recommend such a valuable and remarkable treatment. The remedy also cures itching and dandruff sure signs of approaching baldness and keeps the scalp healthy and vigorous. It also restores gray hair to natural color and produces thick and lustrous eyebrows and eyelashes.

Them With His Disapprovall. Capetown, Dec. 12—Sir Alfred Miller, governor of Cape Colony, yesterday received the deputation appointed to the recent Afrikander congress at Worcester to present to him, for transmission to the British government, the three resolutions adopted by the congress. In reply to the deputation's spokesman he said: "I shall forward these resolutions to the imperial government with my strong disapproval. They were framed by clever men now engineering the legislation and encouraging those who are carrying on a hopeless resistance." The first resolution demands the derination of the war, with its unkind misery, protests against the devastation of the country and the burning of farms, which "will leave a lasting heritage of bitterness," and declares that the independence of the republic will alone insure peace in south Africa. The second urges the right of the colony to manage its own affairs and censures the policy of Sir Alfred Milner. The third pledges the congress to "labor in a constitutional way" to attain the ends defined in the two preceding resolutions. The Grout oleumargarine bill passed the national house by 196 to 92. The army reorganization bill passed the national senate by a vote of 166 to 233. Representative Tayler, of Ohio, has introduced a bill to put an end to polygamy. Mr. John Jay Edson, of Washington, has been appointed chairman of the inaugural committee. Contract laborers from Porto Rico are now en route to work at the sugar industry in Hawaii, for Claus Spreckels. Mr. Henry Russell, composer of over 800 songs, including "A Life on the Ocean Wave," died yesterday in London, aged 87. Saturday, Dec. 8. Harvard defeated Yale for the third consecutive time in the later-collegiate debate at Cambridge last night. The ear's improvement is maintained and his food is now more substantial, although the greatest care is exercised. In the British parliament Joseph Chamberlain announced that civil government would be given the Boer republics.
