The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME VIII. ALLEN CHAPEL. The Easter services were well attended all day. The congregation was a little later gathering than usual, but was a larger one than for a number of years. There were many visitors from St. Joe, and other cities, and everyone expressed their satisfaction with the day's services. The altar decoration was never more beautiful. The choir did its best, and the pastor has never preached a more beautiful sermon. Everything was in just the proper tune for an ideal Easter service. The congregation not only looked splendid, but seemed to feel the same. The captains dfd exceedingly well in gathering up their promises. All were able to make good reports. Those who turned over their money to the church treasury are as follows: James Crews, $82.15; Oscar J. W. Scott, $78.55; Samuel I. Lee, $59.85; Miles Dunn, $43.01; Howard Harris, $32.20; Geo. Shannon, $10.00. The penny collection for the day was $20.96. All of their cards are not yet in, so that their amounts may be larger by the next week. Thus far they have done well indeed. We hope the bazaar will be able to bring them up to the standard The exercises of the Sunday school were well attended and the small children did well, but the young ladies, a few of them at least, were more interested in their costumes than in making the programme a success. The appeal for the cause of missions was made by Prof. Vernon and a collection of $26.00 was raised for that cause. Rev. Ransom, of Topeka, was to have filled the pulpil in the evening, but the train being late, did not arrive in time; but all were pleased to see him anyway. A flash light picture of the altar, with the pastor and wife and his stewardess board, was taken Sunday night. The altar has never looked so pretty before. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE NOTES. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE NOTES. Among the visitors at the school this week were Dr. O. K. Pearsonis, the millionaire philanthropist of Chicago, and his wife; and Dr. F. G. Jordan, of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board. Dr. Jordan made quite an interesting talk to the students in the chapel. Bishop Geo. W. Clinton preached the Easter sermon at Tuskogee last Sunday. The school has just received $10,000, a legacy from the estate of the late Jas. H. Danforth, of Boston. R. K. W. Trees Without Leaves There are great forests of leafless trees in Australia. They are Acacias, or wattles, as some people call them, and their being leafless is simply an adaptation to the dry climate. They have leaves while growing, but when their growth is complete they shed the leaves and breathe through the little stem that remains, because moisture is too precious to them for the free evaporation that leaves always cause. Tortoise 400 Years Old. A tortoise, whose estimated age is 400 years and known weight is 600 pounds, making it the largest one ever reported, has crossed the United States on a limited train en route from the Galapagos islands to the private zoological garden of the Hon. Walter Rothschild, in London. In civilization cabbages are given him in lieu of the cacti of his native heath. Kissing Out of Fashion. The habit of kissing babies indiscriminately is now very generally condemned on sanitary grounds. But the decline of kissing seems to rest, in the main, upon the great principles of etiquette, which are superior, as everyone of intelligence must admit, to those of science. In other words, kissing has gone out of fashion.—Providence, R. I. Journal. Doctors Have to Work Hard Doctor Swansea, Eng., jas clubs the members of which pay $1.50 each per year for medical treatment, while their wives and children are attended free. To make a decent living from such club practice a doctor has to see about 100 patients a day. Doctors Have to Work Hard. Doctors Have to Work Hard.

After the concert the father, brothers and sister of the murderers (who were brothers) appeared on the stage and were applauded. Dyspepsia in England According to Sir James Crichton-Browne, the modern Englishman is physically a degenerate, and chiefly because of dyspeptic troubles. The growing frequency of appendicitis is, he thinks, due to the weakened digestive apparatus and insufficient mastication of food. U. S. Cadets Take Notice.

The Missouri legislator who referred to his opponent in debate as "a noise with hair on it" must take off his hat to Senator Kittinger of the Indiana Senate for his cloquent description of Senator Park as "a whining old whiskered sanctuary."

Sunday school opened at its usual hour, 9:30. Superintendent being late, Rev. E. M. Wilson, pastor, opened services. We had a most excellent lesson, which was taught by the pastor. He instructed the entire congregation from the Quarterlies, and the Cluster Leaf concerning the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, which was both interesting and instructive and all seemed greatly benefitted. Easter eggs were distributed to the audience. Regular 11 o'clock service consisted of praises, this being the regular monthly meeting. Congregation sang a hymn. Choir entered box, and after the congregation read 24th chapter of Luke, 1:33, led by pastor, sang Blessed Jesus. Then praise services began and lasted one hour. Then collection was called and benediction was pronounced. Special services in the afternoon. The annual sermon of the Masonic lodge was preached at 3:30, by Dr. Ewing of the Vine Street Baptist church of Kansas City, Mo. Choir entered choir box and the organist, Mr. Walter Countee, played the march while Dr. Ewing and the Grand Master walked down the aisle and met the members of the lodge, who were then marching into the church by min sie from the Metropolitan band. A large number of people witnessed the scene, a number being unable to enter the church. While the Masons were going through their usual performances, choir peeled forth in melodious strains "Wake the oSig of Jubilee." A most profound sermon was then preached by Rev. Ewing, text 26th chapter of St. Matthew, 42nd verse. His discourse was excellent and delivered with great pathos. He remarks that of all the ways in the world there was one chief way and that was the best way and the right way. He described the conqueror in all forms of life, took up Christ when he conquered death. Spoke of him when he went into the garden of Gethsemane also spoke of the cup of death, and with words and signs applied such to those who belonged to the order, in such a way, that to you, who had never tasted of those sweet waters of Masonry it is beyond your comprehension. He added that Free Masonry was based on God's eternal word, and that anything that was based thereon would stand. All enjoyed a rare treat. After the sermon the choir sang "All Ye Lands, How Lovely is Zion, Peace on Earth." Collection for this service was $17.35. B. Y. P. U. opened at its usual hour, 6 o'clock. President F. L. Lewis presiding. On account of an extra Easter program Mr. Walter Counteur served as organist for us. Audience sang "Joy to the World."

On account of praise meeting Easter sermon was postponed until 8 o'clock. Congregation sang, "Come Ye that Love the Lord." Choir entered choir box and sang a hymn. Sermon by pastor. After a most wonderful sermon, and the explanation of birds, eggs, flowers and rabbits, the communion was administered by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Wilson of Macon City. After the breaking of bread we had prayer, and asked God to bless the wine. Services were unusually good. Collection for the whole day was $33.62. Music by choir. Dismission. Easter Monday at 8:30. a splendid program was rendered. A fine paper was read by Mrs. Stewart of the Pilgrim Baptist church. H. J. McDonald delivered an address which was timely and instructive. A most excellent solo was sang by Mr. Edward Hardy, Recitation by the Misses Ellen and Edith Watson, which was delivered with ability. The remainder of the program consisted of song services. We are looking forward to the time when we will have a splendid church erected, which will be an honor to the cause. We are putting forth our best and most strenuous efforts to do the same as soon as possible. G. W. M. BISHOP MONTGOMERY WILL NOT ACCEPT MANILA POST Right Rev.

He prefers to stay in San Fran- RIGHT DAVID MONTGOMERY cisco, where he expects to become archbishop. The refusal of Bishop Montgomery to accept the post of coadjutor bishop FEW COLORED JOCKEYS NOW. White Riders Are the Favorites of the Turf. Fifty years ago negroes had almost a monopoly of training and riding race horses. To-day they have all but disappeared from the turf, save as stablemen, rubbers, etc. In the antebellum days the big land owners of the south constituted the patrons of racing from the owners' standpoint. It was natural for them to look for their stable help of every degree from among their many slaves. With the establishment of racing at Saratoga soon after the close of the war, followed by the opening of Jerome Park shortly afterwards, the center of the racing endeavor gradually shifted from south of the Mason and Dixon line to the territory around the metropolis. The negro, however, had been freed before this and naturally stuck to the horses and followed them north. The negro jockey flourished for many years after racing was established in the north, but his sun seems to have set with the passing of Sims, Clayton and Perkins, the last of the negro riders to gain and hold the center of the stage for any length of time, and about the only real good negro "jocks" known to the present generation of racegoers. PREMIER A STRONG MAN. Dr. Abram Kuyper Wisely Guides the Destinies of Holland. Dr. Abram Kuyper, the premier of Holland, whose ministry, it is said, is imperiled by the passage of the anti-strike bill in the second chamber of the Dutch parliament, and who was the central figure in the vast strike in the Dutch cities, is unique among the prominent statesmen in Europe in that he is a minister of the Gospel as well as a politician. Dr. Kuyper is now in his 67th year. His father was a Calvinist preacher and brought up the future premier in the same calling. He was educated at the University of Leyden, and first entered political life J. in 1869, when he took his seat in parliament. He has been concerned especially with education and is rather liberal in his religious views. Noon-Mark of Olden Times One of the simplest devices by which the midday hour was made known to dwellers in rural homes a century ago was a noon-mark. The dweller in town or village had the noon bell from the church steeple, but on nearly every farm house was a noon-mark, usually by a frequented door or window, Says Mrs. Earle in a recent book: "I have seen them many a time on the threshold of a barn, at the kitchen doorstep or outside the pantry. Country folk grew very skillful in telling the relative time from a noon-mark. I knew one old woman who, by her kitchen noon-mark, could tell the hours from 10 to 4 without a variation of four minutes, which is in general all that would be expected from a watch—from a woman's watch." Value of Gulf of Mexico Senator Dillingham of Vermont is a close student of meteorology, finding much amusement in watching the changing temperature lines on the big weather map at the senate and of the capitol. "That pond fascinates me," said the senator, pointing to the Gulf of Mexico. "It gives up most of the water that is carried overland and foes as rain in the eastern and middle states. What should we do were it not for the Gulf of Mexico?" he asked with the enthusiasm of a teacher instructing a geography class. at Manila occasions little surprise among his friends and acquaintances at San Francisco. For many years, white head of the southern diocese of California, Bishop Montgomery looked forward to being again assigned to duty in San Francisco, where as a young priest he laid the foundation of his great work in the cause of the Catholic church. A few months ago he was appointed coadjutor to Archbishop Riordan and returned to that city. The new position carried with it the right of succession to the archbishopric. In addition there is something further that holds Bishop Montgomery in San Francisco. The organization of the Catholic church there is largely the result of his efforts. The League of the Cross Cadets, Instituted by him, was primarily organized among the young men for the furtherance of the principles of temperance. This body has welcomed with joy his return from Los Angeles, and is a strong factor in holding him so close to the church in San Francisco. "My work lies here," said Bishop Montgomery. "I have worked and grown with the church in California, and I do not care to abandon it now." CHOSEN FOR HIGH PLACE. Hugh H. Hanna a Member of the Gold Standard Commission. Hugh H.

Mr. Hanna was born fifty-five years ago at Lafayette, Ind. He was educated partly in America and partly in Germany and is a wealthy manufacturer of Indianapolis. New York Society Agitated. New York society is in a flutter over the announcement that the earl of Kintore, King Edward's equestry, will sail for this country May 5, to remain twenty days. His coming is regarded as an event of the utmost significance, because he is already interested in an important American racing stable and his visit is believed to have a distinct reference to the appearance of the king's horses at the Louisiana purchase exposition at St. Louis. The earl will be given a dinner at the Union League club during his stay that will be participated in by all the real pattons of the American turf. Never before has there been in this country a representative of the royal sport so close to the English throne. Great Artist Is Bitter After a visit to this country of about a year sir Philip Burne-Jones, the English artist, has sailed for home. Before going he severely condemned "the yellow art critic" who, he says, seems to be indigenous to this country. Sir Philip mentioned the case of a Philadelphia artist who was about to dispose of a picture for $600. The work was severely condemned in print by a "yellow" critic, who evidently knew little or nothing about the matter. As a result the intending purchaser decided not to buy. Sir Philip thinks that the establishment of an art gallery or salon in the United States would act as a great stimulus to artists here. Mrs. Flagler Max Recover It is reported that Mrs. Ida M. Flagler, divorced wife of Henry M. Flagler, the Standard Oil millionaire, is recovering her reason. Two years ago, through a law specially passed to cover his case, Mr. Flagler divorced his wife on the plea that she was "incarably insane," and then married Miss Mary Lilly Kenan of Wilmington, N. C. In the event of Mrs. Flagler's complete recovery the millionaire would find himself in a distressing predicament. The lady is constantly under the care of a physician who receives $1,000 a month for her treatment and maintenance. Cares Little for Wealth. Although Miss Navonice Cushman, a schoolteacher of New Rochelle, N. Y., is heiress to half the estate of her uncle, Joseph B. Cushman, who died in December last, leaving an estate valued at $1,000,000, yet she continues to teach and seems unconcerned about her newly found fortune. Mr. Cushman left his wealth by will to be divided between his niece and his nephew, Charles Cushman, a cousin of the schoolteacher, who lives at Vernon, near Utica.

Mr. Heffeldinger is an enthusiastic advocate of the civil service system. MESSAGES IN STRANGE FORM. Remarkable Communication from Many Sources. Recently English newspapers published a story about a Liverpool man who found a message written upon an egg by the packer, a widow in Manitoba, whom he ultimately married. In 1899 a message was found in a barrel of apples that had been sent to England from New Zealand. In this message the packer of the fruit, a young woman, said that her ancestors, whose names were given, had emigrated from Kent, and she asked the finder to ascertain if any of her name and family still remained in that county. The finder was able to give her full particulars as to surviving relatives. Mr. Tew of Leeds, England, a member of a Yorkshire banking family, had at one time a collection of "messages in merchandise," some of them being very tragic reminders of the days when peaceful traders were caught by Algerian pirates and sold into slavery. One such message had been written in blood on a coarse canvas bag that had contained gum arabic; another appeared as a sort of tattooed stain on a large cork that had fastened a vessel containing attar of roses. SAYS SHE IS PERSECUTED. New York Woman Makes Complaint Against Vanderbilt Family. Mrs. Jacob H. Vanderbilt, who a few days age opened a "smoking parlor" for women on Fifth avenue in New York, has received so many protests from societies and individuals that she may have to close her shop. The protest which may be the last straw is a written one from the Y. M. C. A. She says the Vanderbilt family is behind it all, and that she is being persecuted. Mrs. Vanderbilt designed the shop as a place where society women might stop while out shopping and secure a cup of tea and a cigarette. It is luxuriously furnished, and since it opened has been crowded with women. Marvels of Bible Distribution Marvels of Bible Distribution. During the first year's work of the British and Foreign Bible society 100 years ago they spent £69, and thought they had done a big thing. So they had, but they were to do more. Last year they spent £241,143, and since the foundation of the society they have expended £13,000,000. Those are big figures, but when translated into numbers of books they are bigger still. The society last year issued over 5,000,000 copies of the Scriptures, and since its commencement a total of 180,000,000. Seven thousand volumes are sent out from London alone every day of the week through every week of the year. The output from all the society's depots, including London, averages 16,000 copies per day. A Preacher of Resources. Rev. J. W. Kimbrell of Madison, Mo. is a gentleman of resources. Bad roads prevented him a few Sundays ago from keeping his engagement at Porter's chapel, one of the churches on its itinerary. He bethought himself that a number of his parishioners had telephones, so he moved an organ to the Madison "central" office, got a choir and conducted a whole church service by telephone, excepting the taking up of the collection. Rev. Mr. Kimbrell is the clergyman who makes war on cigarettes by furnishings smokers with corncob pipes and good tobacco.

"Do you think any engineering difficulty can upset the present plans?" was asked. "No, the canal is perfectly feasible," answered the distinguished engineer. "It should be open to commerce in ten years with the aid of modern machinery and from 30,000 to 40,000 men." "Where are these men to come from?" was asked. "Principally from Jamaica. The unskilled laborers must necessarily be negroes, and the negroes of Jamaica and other British West Indian colonies are infinitely superior to those of the other islands. "The blacks of Santo Domingo, for instance, are practically worthless. Lonfing is a part of their religion. Jamaican negroes are almost immune from yellow fever, and engineers who built the Jamaica railway extension in 1896 tell me they are good workmen—that is, comparatively speaking, of course. "Yes, forty thousand men may be more than this labor market can furnish, but in any case I do not believe American negroes should be employed. The number of men needed will depend on the amount of machinery. Owing to the climate, I imagine machine will replace hand work wherever possible, even with the cheapest labor. I should say in any event thirty thousand would be the minimum." Mr. Noble thought the American staff in round numbers would comprise five hundred men. The machinery will undoubtedly be American. "In handling material," continued Mr. Noble, "I think Americans are first. The Chicago drainage canal is the most perfect example of canal engineering that has been done up to the present time. "The French have passed us all in tunnel work near the surface, as shown in the new Orleans terminal and Metropolitan underground railway in Paris. The English have developed to its highest point the art of tunneling under water." Mr. Noble credits the French Panama company, organized in 1894, to take over the De Lesseps wreck, and, if possible, to save something out of it, with good judgment and excellent work. "We only had twelve or thirteen millions capital, and instead of spending this in carrying on the De Lesseps' plan, dug a triangular strip of the proposed excavation straight through the summit at Culebra. Not only will the actual work done be used in the final construction, but the company thereby could give the most practical answer possible to Panama critics. "It had long been said, in fact engineers insisted upon it at the first De Lesseps congress, in 1879, that the cut through the mountain was an insurmountable obstacle. The ground was thought to be extremely hard to excavate in some place, in others of soft clay, sand and water that could not be held. ATLANTIC OCEAN COLON Rio Getuin Cañon del Rio Chagres Rio Gatun Bahía Soldado Montecristín Obispo Emperador Culebra Parisco Miraflorde La Boca PACIFIC OCEAN MAP SHOWING ROUTE OF PANAMA CANAL "The present company, however, cut a small strip directly through the high ridge, and, at intervals, sank shafts to the depth of the ultimate cut. They lowered us 120 feet down those shafts in a bucket, on a windlass. "It wasn't a pleasant experience, but it gave us an opportunity to report on the actual quality of soil to be taken out of this most difficult of cuts. This was of great value to us, and, had, indirectly, not a little influence upon the negotiations in Congress. "The other big engineering problem is the River Chagres, which rises to great heights during freshets, and discharges as much water sometimes as the whole Lake Superior basin. An artificial lake, some distance from the canal is to take the overflow." When asked whether the French company's machinery was still serviceable, Mr. Noble replied that excellent care had been taken of it; at least, he always found fresh paint on it. At best, however, it would be of little value. American machinery twenty years old is almost worthless to-day, so radical have been the improvements. "Does any one still cling to the idea of a canal without locks?" was asked. "There must be locks to provide for the twenty-foot range of tide at Panama," said the commissioner, "but it is possible to construct a canal without any other locks. Such a canal would unquestionably be a great benefit to shipping, but its cost would be enormous and it would take twice as long to build." Mr. Noble is a firm believer in the commercial future of canals. Referring to the report of the "Soo" canal for the year, which he had just received, he remarked that the United States is paid back every year in the increase of trade the amount originally invested in this canal. "I do not agree," he said, "with the Australian postmaster-general in say- ing that the Panama canal will reduce the Australian trade through the Suez. "Most of the Anglo-Australian shipping will continue by the old route, because there is little difference in the length, and there is always the short cut for passengers and mail via Brindisi. But this does not mean that the Panama canal will not have a great share of the world's shipping."—New York Herald. Reviving the Curfew. The people of Antrim have hailed with delight the decision of the town commissioners to revive the ancien custom of ringing the curfew nightly. At Antrim, as at a great many other towns in Ulster, the curfew was in former generations rung regularly, but the practice, like that associate with the maypole, has gradually die out until now the places where it stillings are few and far between. The action of the commissioners is based on purely sentimental grounds. They have simply revived an old custom because the people like to hear the bell and are willing to pay for the privilege, as is indicated by the fact that a sum of money to pay all expenses has been handed over to the vestry of the parish church. Thinks All Are Too Well Paid Think All Are Too Well Paid. Among officeholders in Washington Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury is regarded as a most extraordinary person. Mr. Tracewell's salary is $5,500, and he thinks he is overpaid. Worse than entertaining such a heterodox opinion, however, is the fact that he has not hesitated to give expression thereto. During the recent session of congress he was giving a subcommittee some information regarding his office. The chairman complimented him by saying: "You are the first man government officer who has appeared before us who did not ask for an increase of salary." Tracewell replied bluntly: "I'm getting a blank sight too much now." In private conversation later he said: "Considering the hours of their labor and their responsibilities, government employees are paid more than any other class of men in the world." All of which is regarded in bureaucratic circles as little short of revolutionary. She's Pretty, but He's Strong. Jenkins owns a house in a Brooklyn suburb. It is now for sale, and his tenant, or, rather, his tenant's pretty wife, has had a number of callers who wanted to look over the property, says the New York Press. The other day Jenkins received a letter of complaint from his tenant, of which this is a copy: "Dear Sir—I have a complaint to make about the man who come out here to look at your house. Most of them think it necessary to tell my wife how pretty she is while they are looking over the property. I want to warn you that some of these days I am going to take a day off from my work and then if any of those men want to tell my wife that she is pretty I will be around to show them her husband is pretty strong." Count Cassini Will Return As soon as it was announced that Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, intended to sail for Europe about the middle of May, a rumor became current that he would not return. This is now said to be without foundation. The count is conceded to be the cleverest diplomat in Washington and the star member of the Russian corps.

HERO IN HARD LUCK FATS DEALS UNKINDLY WITH WOULD-BE REFORMER. Youth Whe Rebuked Fat Man for Prom!zeuoys Expectoration Gets Into Serious Difficulty—Coarse Man ‘Wipes Up Floor With Him. A fat man—fat and apparently coarse, and with a predilection for bullying over the common people— stirred up a big rumpus yesterday morning on the Staten Island ferry boat Robert Garrett, which left St. George at 7:10 o'clock. ‘This person chewed tobacco with a noticeable vehenience, and with con- eecutiveness and frequency he was ‘obliged to dispose of the usual by- Product. It was the fat man’s method “of disposing of his by-product that made the rumpus. Perhaps there were ‘cuspldors, but the fat man didn't hunt for them. He picked out vacant spots ‘on the floor instead. There were wom- en passengers, and sonfe of them be- came almost panicky. Then it wa» that a small, heroic man made his Appearance. He was a young man with pale-blue eyes, a slim waist, and an unhalting expression around his chin, He had dodged the big man's hydraulic efforts once or twice, and felt called upon to do something. He might have chosen a more original re- mark, but under the stress of great mental excitement he resorted to the ‘old saw. Catching the fat man’s eyes he satd, angrily: “Do you expect to rate yourself as @ gentleman?” (Swish!) “Huh?” said the fat man. “Then don't expectorate on the floor,” added the young hero. A lot of “serves-you-right-you-horrid- old-thing” looks from the women re- warded the young man, who thought he had done his whole duty. Perhaps he had, but—— ‘The fat man relapsed from his con- templative mood into one of strenuous action. He reached forth his big, chubby hands, and hooked them fast to the clothes of the young hero with the pale blue eyes. Then he bore down on the little fellow and doubled him half up like a knife, and by sliding him backward and forward on the floor across the area of his temporary tobacco-chewing domain, he removed all traces of wet brown from the cabin floor. There was plenty of feeling over this incident. The young man didn’t like it. He was in an uncomfortable po sition, as he afterward asserted with great positiveness. The aim sought for had been practically achieved, bu the means—the means! @here wa: the rub! He was incensed at the rub Several coarse men gurgled with glee others swore right out, and the womer set up such a clatter that the attention of deckhands was attracted. One o} these hands was chewing — tobace¢ himself, but long years of introspec tion had enabled him to observe prop er sanitary precautions. The deck nands “went for” the fat man, but h¢ wriggled between the horses an¢ trucks and lost himself in the crows at the opposite end of the boat. The young man with the discouraged-look ‘tes trousers and determined air wa: hos foot all over the boat after th jarge person, but could not find im With the deckhands he stationed him self at the gangway when the passen gers left the boat at the Battery, con fident of catching the large person But he didn’t. Somehow, it is no made clear just bow, the 220-pound of fender wriggled past them and wen en his way, while the young herc after watching until the last man ha stepped ashore, went to his offle chewing the bitter cud of reflection.— New York Tribune.

He had been the life of the large house party at: tending the wedding. One of his stories particularly pleased the father of the bride, The catch line in it was, “Ikey, get off the wagon.” After the bride and bridegroom had started ‘on their honeymoon a number of the guests went to a theater, then to supper, and {t was late when they drove to the home of their host. The house was dark, and though a ring of the beil would have brought one of the servants, it was decided for a lark to try to get in, undetected through a window opening on the porch. Being tn a happy mood, the party forgot’ that there had beet some talk during the day of the pos sibilities of burglars making a. tr for the valuable wedding presents. The window fastening was no very seclre, and a little pressure re leased it. ‘Then the usher got hi head inside the window.

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. Kansas City, Mo., March 3, 1903. Office of the Postmaster, Publishers, Rising Son, In response to your inquiry, I beg to say your publication is duly entered as second class matter at this office and regularly mailed. The Rising Son is the only paper published by Colored people in Kansas City, Mo., that is entered at the post office as second class mail. "One of my reasons for liking the Filipino as a soldier is the same that gives me a preference for the negro in the same capacity—in a fight I am not worried about his safety, as it doesn't make any difference whether he gets killed or not. There is nothing more to it. If a person owned a thoroughbred or fall-blooded dog and also a cur, is it not natural that he would prefer to have the cur killed before the other?" This statement is charged to General F. D. Baldwin, Commander of the Department of Colorado. We wonder if there can be a man in the U. S. A. rated as a gentleman and an officer, who can be so brutal in his instincts. If so, HELL itself cannot be too hot for him. The Rising Son is devoted to the best interests of our rase, a fearless advocate of right and fair play. There are those in high places who read and receive this paper and its benefits who think that printers' ink and labor are produced by wind and talk. Now, to all such we ask you again to pay us what you owe. Some of you have gained your notoriety through this paper. Come and see us with the money. It has been told that one or two of our teachers have been quietly married. If this is so, we advise them to quietly resign. Deception or secrecy in matters of this kind is in violation of the Board of Education, and an imposition that the patrons of the school will not stand. President Roosevelt's trip is a grand success in every particular. Immense crowds greet him everywhere, and he is most royally entertained and enthusiastically received wherever he finds time to stop. The President's speeches are full of fine sentiment and practical logic. The President is a practical man, and he don't believe much in theorizing. He is the kind of a man the American people like and admire, and even those opposed to him politically admire him for his excellent traits. A NOTED BUSINESS MAN The material growth of Kansas City which has been so noticeable in the last decade or two, has not alone come through the natural resources offered. Men of energy and great business capacity are known to have contributed largely to the wonderful growth of this metropolis. For instance, Mr. Bernard Corrigan, who heads the management of the great Metropolitan street railway system. Mr. Corrigan is regarded as one of the most foremost and successful business men in the West. He has been identified with measures which have proved to be of great value to the upbuilding of Kansas City. The Metropolitan system which is being judiciously steered by its president, is fast meeting the demand of the public and it is a pleasure to note the increase of comfort and facility which it is giving the people of Kansas City. 1 Active in Political Work.

Yellow Fever Is Costly. Physiology of Fishes. The fact that fishes, after the loss of the ears, lose their equilibrium, but still respond to sounds, led to the belief that the car in fishes was for equilibration, and that fish hear through the contact of sound waves with their skin. Now Parker of the United States fish commission has demonstrated that the fundulous heteroclitus hears after the nervous connector between the skin and brain is severed. Golfers with Arab Caddies. Golf has spread to the land of the Pharaohs and some excellent, links are to be found at Helouan, twenty miles south of Calro. The links are, of course, sand, but as the sand is firm the going is excellent as a rule. There is no better proof of the spread of civilization in Africa than the fact that golfers can be seen doing a round on the desert attended by Arab caddies. Quick Trip Around World. The development of the modern railroad and steamship makes possible a trip around the world in twenty-seven days, as follows: From New York to Hamburg, 4,800 miles, 7$^{3/4}$ days; Hamburg to Vladivostock, 7,500 miles, 6$^{4/4}$ days; Vladivostock to Seattle, 7,000 miles, 10$^{4/4}$ days; Seattle to New York, 3,300 miles, 2$^{3/4}$ days; total, 22,600 miles in 27 days. Possibility of Human Diversity. According to permutation, the forty-two individual or genetic instincts of which the human mind is composed may combine in 2,810,012,225,505,759,797,086,285,212,489,021,129,540,768,000,000 different ways, which will account for all the diversity of the human family in the past at present, and for millions of years in the future. Of Value to Seamen. An interesting feature of the application of electricity on shipboard is the so-called Schotten telegraph, or bulkhead telegraphy. In the moment of danger caused by a collision this telegraph enables the captain on the bridge to see whether all the water-tight doors are closed or not. Will Take Brooklyn Church The Rev.

The English courts have gravely decided that a bicycle is neither "a carriage hung on springs" nor "a beast of draught," and therefore only pedestrian tolls may be charged for it. The decision is just, though the method of arriving at it is peculiarly English. Chamberlain the Coming Man. Joseph Chamberlain is still the man of the hour in England. The Colonial Secretary is now sixty-seven years old, and he has been thirty years in politics. His wife is an American, the daughter of W. C. Endicott of Massachusetts.

Pope's Faith in Professor Leo XIII, has great faith in Prof. Mazzoni, who has in his home a portrait of the pope, with this inscription: "Praeclaaro viro, Gaetano Mazzoni, Medicio, Chirurgo, arte eximia, manu strenua, praeclaire de Nobis merito. Leo XIII." The professor, it wil be remembered, declared not long ago that the pope would easily reach his 100th year and more. Dyspepsia in England. According to Sir James Crichton-Browne, the modern Englishman is physically a degenerate, and chiefly because of dyspeptic troubles.

Show a woman an easy, comforta ble and healthful way to improve her complexion and she is naturally im terested. "Coffee ts the one greatest enemy of fair women, for in the most of cases at directly affects the stomach pro ducing slight, and sometimes great congestion of the liver and therefore causing the bile to be absorbed into the system instead of going {ts nat- ural way, The result is a sallow, muddy skin and a train of diseases of the different organs of the body which, in all too many cases, develop into chronic diseases. A lady speaking of how coffee af. fected her says: “I was very fond of coffee but while drinking it was un- der the care of the doctor most of the time for liver trouble, and was com: pelled to take blue mass a great deal of the time, My complexion was bad and I had a pain in my side steadily, probably in the iiver. “When I conchided to quit coffee and take Postum Food Coffee I had ft'made carefully and from the very first cup we liked the taste of it bet ter than any of the old coffee, “In a short time the pain left my side and my friends began to com ment on the change in my complexion ‘and general looks, | have never seen anything equal to the good I got from aking this change, “A young lawyer in Philadelphia named ——, whose life was almost Durden from indigestion and its train ef evils, quit coffee some months ag¢ and began on Postum Food Coffee He quickly recovered and is naw well strong and cheorful and naturally loud in his praises of Postum, “Another friend,tan old gentlemar of seventy, named ——, who for year suffered all one could suffer and live from dyspepsia, and who sometimes for wocks could eat no bread or solic } food, only a little weak gruel or milk quit coffee upon my recommendatior and took up Postum, He began to ge ‘| better at once.

Ba! tle Creek, Mich, SECURE A FREE HOME In the Fertile Wheat Fields of Western Canada. assumed such proportions that organ- ized efforts wre now being made by interested persons and corporations to stem the tive. The efforts are being initiated chiefly by railway and real estate interests in the states from which the bulk of the emigration takes place. The tcovement of population has taken frow numerous states thou- sands of persuns whose presence along railways in these states made business for the transportation com- panies, The movement hae also be- come so widely known that it has pre- vented the settlement of vacant lands along these lines, parties Who might have located there being attracted to the free and more fertile lands of Can- ada. The result of the movement has been that the railway companies not only see the vacant lands along theit lines remain vacant, but they also see hundreds of substantial farmers who have helped provide business for these rallways move away and so cease their contributions. The farmers have moved to Canada because they were convinced thet it would be to thelr financial interest to do so. In moving they have been inconsiderate enough to plece their own financial interests before those of the financial interest of the railway corporatiogs. In addition to the railway corpora: tions, real estate dealers are working to stem the flow of emigrants. Of course every emigrant who goes to Canada means the loss of commissions on land deals by real estate dealers. Now a person has but to know what the interests are that are trying to etop the flow to know what motive is influencing their course. The emigra- tion means financial loss to railway corporations and to real estate men. These interests therefore are not dl- recting their opposition efforts out of any love for the departing emigrants or out of any high patriotic motives either. They are doing so purely from selfish Interests. It 1s a matter of dol- lars and cents with them. They are so patriotic, they are so consumed by love for their fellow-citizens, that they want to prevent these fellow-citizens going to Canada and getting free farms of the best wheat land in the world, and insiead they want to make them stay on high-priced farms in the United States, where’ they will con- tinue to pour money into the pockets of these railways and real estate men. One of the methods employed by these interests to stem the tide is the distribution of matter to newspapers, painting Canada in the darkest colors. These articles emanate chiefly from a bureau In St. Louis. They are sent out at frequent intervals for simul taneous publicaion, A writer Is em- ployed at a high salary to prepare the | matter, Moreover, statements absolutely at Jenene with the truth have lately | been published broadcast. These ap pear chiefly in what purport to be let- ters from persons who are alleged to have gone to Canada and become dis- gusted with it. Only a few of such | have been published, and they contain statements that are absurd in their falsity. Whether the parties whose | names appear in connection with those letters have ever been in Canada, and, If so, their history while there, is to be thoroughly jooked into. The dis- covery of their motive, like the dis- covery of the motive of the interests who are engineering the opposition, |may prove illumining. In the mean- time, however, it may be pointed out that only a few of such letters have appeared, but since 1897 over 87,000 American settlers have gone to the Canadian West. Can any reasonable person suppose for moment that If Canada was one-quarter as bad as rep resented in these letters thre 87,000 Americns now there would remain in the country; or, if the Cancdian West had not proved the truth of all that was claimed for it, the papers of every state in the American Northwest would not be filled with letters saying so? Imagine 87,000 aggressive Amer- | eans deceived and not making short shift of their deceivers. The fact is the 87,000 are well satisfied and are encouraging their friends to follow them. Anyone who sees any of these dis- paraging letters should remember that it is railway and real estate interests who have from purely selfish reasons organized a campaign to stem the flow to Canada. If Canada were halt as bad as represented there would be no need of such an organization. The | fact that such exists is of itself a mag- | nificent tribute to Canada. Finally it should not be forgotten that the letters published are brimful of falsehoods, and that 87,000 satisfied Americans in '| the Canadian West constitute a living | proof that such is the case. ’ The Canadian Government agent || whose name appears in advertisement || elsewhere in this paper is authorized to give all information as to rates and .) available lands in Western Canada.

"It is the barrier I have established between my clients and the vulgar. Why do you come here? To be among yourselves, to avoid embarrassing or compromising surroundings. If I changed my prices the house would be invaded and you would all leave." Another patron who complained of a sauce was asked: "Did you dine here last evening?" "No," he replied. "That is the trouble, then; you spoiled your taste in the other restaurant." Still another guest objected to the charges on his bill, comparing it with an identical breakfast of a few days previous, which amounted to eighteen and a half francs, whereas the breakfast in question was charged twenty-one francs eighty centimes. "I will investigate the mistake," said Bignon, who, with the two bills, proceeded to his desk, returning shortly afterward. "It is very true, monsieur, that a mistake was made in your favor last Monday; but I make no claim for restitution." NOT LIKELY TO BE POPU' \R. Scriptural Method of Carving Fowls Has Disadvantages. A scriptural method of carving fowls when in secular company was claimed by a witty monk who, having been asked to carve one day, sald: "Inasmuch as you demand it, I will carve the fowl according to biblical principles." "Yes," exclaimed the hostess, "act according to the scriptures." The theologian therefore began the carving. The baron was tendered the head of the fowl, the baroness the neck, the two daughters a wing apiece, and the two sons a first joint, the monk retaining the remainder. "According to what interpretation do you make such a division?" inquired the host of his confessor, as he regarded the monk's heaping plate, and the scant portions doled out to the family. "From an interpretation of my own," replied the monk. "As the master of your house the head belongs to you by right; the baroness, being most near to you, should receive the neck which is nearest the head; in the wings the young girls will recognize a symbol of their mobile thoughts, that fly from one desire to another; as to the young barons, the drum stricks they have received will remind them that they are responsible for supporting your house, as the legs of the capon support the bird itself." Origin of a Word. "How do you pronounce vau-d-e-l-be?" asked the prefect of the purist. "Vowdville," was the instant reply, followed by the question, "How do you?" "Vawdeville," frankly confessed the prefect. "But I suspected I was wrong. That is the reason I asked you. I take it the word is French?" "Yes, and it comes from the name vau-de-vue—a river in Normandy. In that town during the fifteenth century lived Oliver Basselin, a French poet, who wrote a variety of matter in prose and verse. And now, after 600 years, every variety performer calls his act a vaudeville turn. The study of the origin of words is interesting," concluded the purist. Proud of His Norwegian Birth Proud of His Norwegian Birth. Edward Grieg, the Norwegian composer, dislikes the use of the word "Scandinavian" as applied to him. Recently, there appeared in an English monthly magazine an article entitled "Grieg, the Scandinavian Composer." Grieg, when he saw it, sent a telegram to a friend in London requesting him to see the editor and explain that he was not a Scandinavian but a Norwegian. It is an interesting circumstance that but for the Jacobite troubles he might have been a Scotsman, His ancestors, the Greigs, emigrated from Scotland after the affair of 1745 and settled in Norway. Age of Cats. Herr Pohl, president of the German Society for the Protection of Cats, has just published the results of his investigation in regard to the age, which it is possible for these animals to attain, Cats, he says, are like human beings in one respect. The more peaceful and better regulated their life is, the longer they are likely to live. As a proof, he points out that a favorite cat in the Royal Castle of Nymphenburg has lived to be forty-two years old, and consequently may fairly claim to be considered the dean of cats in Germany.

The first signal comes from the back with numerous aches and pains. The second signal comes in the Kidney secretions. The urine is thin and pale, or too highly colored, and showing a "brick-dust like" deposit. Urination is infrequent, too frequent or excessive. You should heed these danger signals before chronic complications set in—Diabetes, Dropsy, Bright's Disease. Take Doan's Kidney Pills in time and the cure is simple. J. F. Wainwright, of the firm of Bones & Wainwright, painters and contractors, Pulaski, Va., says: "Four or five times a year for the past few years I have suffered with severe attacks of pain in my back, caused from kidney trouble. During these spells I was in such misery from the constant pain and aching that it was almost impossible for me to stoop or straighten and it really seemed as if the whole small of my back had given away. At times I also had difficulty with the kidney secretions which were discolored, irregular and scalding, and I was also greatly distressed with headaches and dizziness. I used a number of recommended remedies but I never found anything so successful as Doan's Kidney Pills. When I heard of them I had an attack and procured a box of them. In a few days the pain and lameness disappeared, the trouble with the kidney secretions was corrected and my system was improved generally. I have every confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Wainwright will be mailed to any part of the United States on application. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Dislike of titles is ingrowing here.

Old Clock Was Valuable. A man in Vienna possessed as an heirloom an old clock made early in the sixteenth century. He thought it was worth about $10. One day a stranger came and offered him $400 for it. The owner suspected that if it was worth that it might be worth more, so he investigated the matter. He soon received an offer of $4,000 for it and finally sold it to the Kensington Museum, London, for $20,000. Good Samaritan Medal.

COOKING CONTEST. The ladies have a champion interested in the betterment of family cooks. $7,500.00 in cash has been donated by C. W. Post, Chairman of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., to be distributed between now and July next in 735 cash prizes to stimulate family cooks to better service. Less burned and greasy meat, and potatoes; less soggy biscuits, cake, etc., and better coffee, Postum and tea is the motto. The girls are to compete in the preparation of good, everyday dishes and in general cookery. Probably Grape Nuts and Postum Coffee will come in for some attention incidentally, but the tests will be conducted under the daily direction of the housewife and 735 cooks will win varying cash prizes from $200.00 down to $5.00, no one is required to pay anything whatever to enter this contest and each winner will receive a large certificate or diploma with the big Postum seal in gift, a badge of distinction much to be sought after. Particulars can be had by addressing Cookery Dept. No. 349 of Postum Cereal Co. Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. Merely an Eye to Business. The manager of a tobacco factory is hailed as a philanthropist because he has installed pianos in his workrooms and has them played constantly for the enjoyment of his operatives. The fact that fingers and arms will move perceptibly faster, under the stimulus of swift musical rhythm, increasing the output of each worker from 10 to 30 per cent, was perhaps not overlooked by the employer when he made this investment. The First Wireless Message. What loops we have been. This not George, gazing ardently but silently into the eyes of Mabel, been a transmitter pure and simple? And as the silent message, circling, expanding, swept into space, what was it, all these years, but the psychologic coherer in Mabel's car that caught and recorded the message that contains but three words, Sent wireless by George and received wireless by Mabel? Has it taken Marconi to tell us this? A. Peculiar Accident Six Italian workmen had their legs broken at the same time in Amityville, L. L. recently. They had been relaying the tracks of the Long Island Railroad and had a rail ready to lower when a drill engine backed against the car in which they were, knocking the rail from their grasp. It fell, and in doing so caught several of them on the legs, with the result above stated. When They Were Gabes An amusing party was one at which each man was given a photograph of one of the young women present, taken when she was a baby or a very small girl, with instructions to find her for his partner at the card table. The majority of the girls were not hard to find, as women change much less than men as the years go by. Tesla Makes Large Promises. Locomotives propelled by electricity drawn from the air without cost, and ocean liners racing over the sea by the agency of the electric current drawn inexpensively from the same source, are promised for the near future by Tesla. It is to be done on the principle of wireless telegraphy. Swallows Have Great Speed It has often been stated that sixty miles an hour was the utmost rate at which a swallow could fly. Recent experiments upon Compagnie and Antwerp proved that a swallow in a hurry can cover 12815 miles in an hour. THE MEN AND WOMEN Who Enjoy the Choicest Products of the World's Commerce. Knowledge of What Is Best More Important Than Wealth Without It. It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are necessary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for world-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learning the real worth of the choicest products. Their commendation, consequently, becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well informed of all countries the method of selecting, enjoying and learning the real worth of the choicest order and the combination the most excellent of its kind. The above is true not of food products only, but is especially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy, Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and presented in the form of a pleasant and refreshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup. It is also useful in the purity and purity essential in a remedy intended for family use. Ask any physician who is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at all eminent in his profession and has made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the system he will tell you that it is the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after-effects. Every well-informed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative and is glad to sell it, at present. It is also useful in the purity and purity because it gives general satisfaction, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original packages only; the name of the remedy—Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.-printed on the front of every package.

In distress I was advised to try Peruma, and although I had never used a patent medicine before, I sent for a bottle. "Words but tily describe my surprise to find that within a few days I was greatly relieved, and within three weeks I was entirely recovered. I am never without it now, and take an occasional dose when I feel run down." -Julian Weisslitz If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruma write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

You know I once acquired the habit of wondering what was going on, and neyer have got over tt,” “Oh, there's nothing particularly new," answered the newcomer, “ex- cept that a ship captain reports that your old island is overrun with lob- sters.”" “Ah!” muttered Crusoe. “And so they have begun running excursions to my old familiar haunts at last."— Judge. Fair Warning. The voice at the telephone was a roar. “Hello, central!” “Hello!” replied the soft voice. “Give me Main 99,999. And, say, central, he’s the agent of this flat I'm living in.
