THE LARGE WHITE BUSINESS FIRMS HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THE RISING SON. --- VOLUME XI. THE LARGE WHITE BU GREAT CONFID RISING This paper has at last succeeded in gaining the confidence of the large white business firms in regards to our advertisements as trade promoters. We have striven for a number of years to convince the various large firms that their money in our paper was well spent. Behind this paper are a set of energetic young men that are endeavoring to build up a great business in order to more thoroughly reach the Negroes. Among the 50,000 Negroes to whom we are catering there are many who do a great deal of buying. We are striving to build up our race on a more economical basis. We are trying to educate them where to buy there goods. To go where they are given the best consideration. For this reason we have made a canvass for ads among the white business firms believing sincerely that the large firms wanted THE FINDING OF POLICE. Commissioner F. F. Rozelle in Re regards the Negro Police men. A reporter of the Rising Son in a recent interview of Frank Rozzelle Police Commissioner learned that the investigation of the Police Department would in no wise affect the colored Patrolmen. Mr. Rozzelle authorized the following statement: I find in my recent research that the city has a well discipline set of Negro Officers. I say that they are generally efficient and a good set of Policemen; Polite and well behaved. I do not think the investigation will affect them. F. F. ROZZELLE. Police Commissioner.

Each day we find new supporters to our paper in the matter of ads and assistance. In a few months this paper will receive its proper recognition from every large firm. Our policy has been to give every one a square deal. Ten years of hard labor proves conclusively that we are honestly striving for what is due us. We feel that every one who has dealt with us has been generally satisfied. Let the good work go on. Each day let us grow stroger.

The Submarines Octopus and Lake Suffered No Inconvenience From Being Submerged 24 Hours. Newport, R. I, May 17.—With all hands well and contented, with a bountiful supply of fresh air, and with records of submergence broken, the submarines Octopus and Lake rose to the surface of Narragansett bay at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, ending a test of 24 hours under water. The Octopus rose first and the members of the naval trial board crowded about her as the conning tower hatch flew open. The members of the trial board at once went below to see what conditions existed on board and also to test the air supply. Samples of air were bottled every two hours through the test for analysis by the board. The Octopus blew out foul air only twice during the 24 hours she was at the bottom of the bay. It was computed that only one forty fifth of her air supply was exhausted, and if these figures are correct they tend to show that the boat could remain submerged 45 days provided the food and fuel supply were sufficient. The Lake also stood the test well, although a leak was spring in the superstructure. She pumped out twice, but what proportion of her air supply was used up could not be learned. Testing Rights in Court. Testing Rights in Court. Ardmore, I. T., May 17.—The Betie Ligon case involving right of some 2,000 people to citizenship of Chickasaw nation and $20,000,000 of property was argued in the federal court before Judge Townsend Thursday. The plaintiff contends that Betie Ligon is a citizen of the Chickasaw nation and is entitled to enrollment. The interior department knocked out Betie Ligon. It is now sought to have her and some 2,000 enrolled through court action. Officials of the federal government presented a demurre to the complaint contending that the court is without jurisdiction to pass on the case. There are lots of people in the social scale who do not weigh much. MISSOURI'S PRODUCT. Prof. J, T. Fox of this City Who Has Made a Splendid Record.

The busiest street in America runs along one side of the building, and on the other side the ceaseless ebb and flow of money crazed men soes on, Nearby the spire of Trinity bureh rises, and just around the cor. ner ts the maelstrom of money and toadness that is called the stock ex: rhange, Office on Tenth Floor. ‘Tho auditing department 1 on the enth floor of the bullding, and Lam inert, from his desk, could ‘look down upon the struggling, seething masses of men during the stock exchange hours, and perhaps dream that the fig- ures he was adding were dollars and that he was gambling with them in the market below. He was at work checking up an in: tricate table at ten o'clock in the morn ing. The day had been unseasonably hot for the spring, and the windows were thrown open for the first time, ‘There were perhaps 50 men and girls at Work in the department, but they practically were isolated from each other by partitions, desks, eabinets and files, No one was paying any at tention to Lammert. He was near the completion of bis inspection of the ta. ble, when a gust of wind suddenly swept the paper on which he had been verifying the results and testing then according to the office rules, and blew at out of the window. Lammert made a grab for the pre clous paper, which represented per hiaps two hours’ work, but it elude: him and fluttered over the sill, ‘The ‘wind caught it, lifted tas in a chim ney, higher and higher, and then « current of air drove it downward anc dt fell easily on a ledge only @ fev Se Sa ee nee ee nee tO ee eeeeteee ieee ee | mained.

Afteg several attempts he “sticeveded in poking it Into thé angle made by the projection eight fect away. In his anxiety to recover the pa _per he forgot caution and, hooking the window pole on the ledge of the floor above, he tested it to see if it would bear weight, and then started to walk along the ledge, steadying himself with the window pole hooked onto the upper ledge. It was a foolhardy attempt, but he kot along well until he came to the corner and had to stoop down to get the paper. To do this he was forced to kneel on the ledge, letting go his hold on the pole, which swung back perheps a foot when he released it, and hung there, In Awful Predicament. Triumphant over recovering the pa per, Lammert started to stand up— and discovered, to his horror, that any movement toward straightening up would overbalance him and throw him down {nto the street. Also he realized ‘that the pole which had insured his alanes was behind him. If he could get hold of that he could straighten up with safety, He tried reaching up- ward with his left hand, but could not reach, For ten minutes, he says, he knelt there on the ledge, dizzy with fright, and was forced to shut his eyes and hang on with both hands to the ledge to overcome his desire to throw bim- self into the street. Finally, made ‘cooler by the desperate nature of hig position, he began to think He remembered that there was an- other window just beyond the ledge. He could craw! forward, even if he did not dare go back along the ledge, He steadied himself across the angle of the ledges and felt around the prow Jection. To his delight it was only about a foot wide, and on the other side he found a handhold—a small iron pipe His hand clenched around the pipe fave him renewed courage, and, al- though dripping wet from the nervous horror of the situation, he clung to it while, with infinite effort and caution, he edged his way, inch by inch, out until he steod on the ledge a foot wide, sheer over the street. With a sudden movement he got both hands gripped on to the pipe and swung his body around to the other side of the projection, and sat-down on the ledge, gripping the pipe tight with both hands and almost exhausted by bis efforts Seemed Like Death Trap. The full horror of the situation did not dawn on him for perhaps a min- ute, He says he thought he was with- in a few feet of a window. Then, The full horror of the situation did not dawn on him for perhaps a min- ute, He says he thought he was with- fn a few feet of a window. Then, after recovering a bit from his exer- tions, he suddenly reallzed that, in- stead of rounding a projection and ar- riving at a window, he had rounded one projection and sat in a space three feet wide between two such pro- jections. It was as if he were on a ‘shelf in a chimney which had one side open Lammert says it was half an hour before he was conscious again, He sut as if dazed, hig feet braced across o the opposite ledge, his hands clenched around the little plpe, pa. _ralyzed by horror, lil nerve had falled him complete. ly.

Ho sul clung to his giddy perch and at intervals shouted fot help. Several patroimen and night watchmen heard bis cries, but falntly, and, as they could not locate the sounds, they gave up the search, Day: break brought fresh hope to Lamm; Hunger, he says, revived him tee spurred him on to fresh attempts to escape. : His first thought was to slide down the pipe, but he found that it ended four stories below, apparently inwa hole In the wall Its own size. He dip. covered, too, that it carried telephone wires to the upper stories. During the morning he dectded to call for help every half hour, and took out his watch for that purpose, Also he found that he could kee two windows of a | building across the street, apparently | windows to washrooms, from the ir regularity, He could not see any of: fice windows, Vain Effort to Escape. | He was not afraid of the height that ‘day, and lost his giddiness when look: ing down, About noon he managed to stand up, and decided to try to get ‘around the angle again and return to the office window, He crawled out (until he could look around to where | the window pole hung; then he grew afraid to let loose of the pipe and drew back Into his safe harbor. He | had come near falling in the effort and was weak from the experience. Then a brilliant idea dawned upon ihim. He began pounding on the pipe _with his penknife, but after an hour of this he desisted. During the morn- jing, too, he had put out a signal of distress, flying his pocket handker | chief and waving at at the people be jlow. He spent the greater part ¢ the |afternoon writing Hotes on envelopes and papers from his pocket and trying to drop them into the street. Some were wafted blocks out of the way and some fell unnoticed He was so weak that he dared not attempt another climb around the ledge, even If he had possessed the courage, Night found him disheartened and despairing. He was about ready to let loose and fall into the street. Ap- parently no one had seen his signal or found his notes. The night was raw and sold and a misty rain drenched him to the skin, He grew still, and his body was filled with pains. Many times he shifted from ledge to ledge, and once, by bracing his feet on one ledge and sitting one the other, with ‘his hand around the pipe, he dozed off until a dream of falling awakened him. | Decides to Jump Into Street. |. Daylight came again—and with it hope. Lammert says that during the morning he declared he would end his misery by jumping—but that he was afraid he would alight on some one and kill him—so postponed the jump until night. The grim Jest kept recurring all day. Ho laughed at ‘the idea of waiting until others were safe ‘before killing himself, About four o'clock that afternoon Curtis Logan, an employe of a broker: age firm in the building across the street, went to the washroom and, While there, happened to glance out of the window He saw Lammert and stopped to look. “That fellow is a long time fix- ing that pipe,” he thought. For on the preceding day Logan had seen Lammert, noticed his perilous post tfon and watched him for a time, thinking he was a daring workman re- pairing the pipe. He watched this time for several minutes. Then he noticed the attitude of exhaustion and despair, and the handkerchief tied to the pipe. Suddenly the thought struck him that the #ian could not get out of the crevasse in the side of the building, He watched a while longer, and then, hurrying to the elevator, descended, crossed the street, and went up to the life insurance company office, where |he rasied the alarm. Rescued by Window Washer. ‘The employes of the auditing de- ‘partment were skeptical, but Logan insisted that a man was on the ledge. ‘Then some one remembered Lammert and his odd disappearance. The win- ‘dow was thrown open and some one ‘shouted Lammert’s name, The result was a feeble cry for help. After that there were things doing. Telephone messages summoned men from the nearest fire station, A rope “was swung from the window by Lam mert’s desk across to the window be- |yound the projection and one of the window washers, with his belt hook- led over the rope, slipped hurriedly |along the ledge, around the projection, J and in an instant reappeared support- |ing Lammert. Eager hands stretched New Yire Material. For comfort perhaps the pneumatie tire can never be excelled, but its tend- eney to puncture has induced many attempts to find a satisfactory solid substance, Hard rubber {s not suff ciently resilient, but a new compound, called clastos, has recently been tried in England, and the results are report: ed to be good, It consists of a mix. ture of glue, glycerine and chromic salts, dissolved together at a. high temperature, and forced, while — still liquid, into the inner tube of the tire. It is said to give about the same ease of motion as an airinflated Ure, The use of this substance increases the weight of a wheel from 20 to 40 pounds, according to the size, but an offset for this is claimed in the fact that extra tires need not be carried.— Youth's Companion.

C., and the sojourn in Egypt was for 216 of 430 years from that time. For : Tength of captivity see Gen, 19:13, 14; Ex. 12:40, Kings 6:1, Gal. 2:17. RULERS.—It in quite generally agreed by scholars that the Pharaoh of the oppression was Rameges IL, and. the Pharaoh of the Bxodus his aon, Meneph- Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Chosen Family.—Vs. 1.5. “The first seven verses are introductory to the whole book. In accordance with the almost invariable custom of the writer, there {s first a brief recapitu- lation of preceding events, and then a statement of the actual condition of affairs." —Joseph Parker. V. 1. “These are the names.” The 12 sons of Jacob only are given, the heads of the families or clans. “Every man and his household.” “The ‘house- hold,’ according to the Hebrew {dea, included not merely wife and children, but men-servants and maid-servants, ‘dependents and retainers, even hire- lings who might quit the service and fo elsewhere when It pleased them.” Rawlinson. How numerous these households ware can be surmised from the fact that Abraham could muster 318 armed meq to rescue Lot (Gen. | M4:14); Isaac was mightier than some | of the neighboring kings (Gen, 26:16); Esau and Jacob had to separate be- | cause their followers were so numer- ous (Gen, 36:6, 7), , | V.5. “Andall . . . were 70 souls.” | The list is given in Genesis 46, where |iwo women are included, Dinah, Ja- |cob's daughter, and Scrah, a grand. | Jaughter. Perhaps, as Canon Cook uggests, these were named because ‘hey remained unmarried. Dean Payne Smith (Bampton Lectures) esti+ mates that altogether, with their households and retainers, they num- vered 3,000 souis. “That so large a sody should be favoraby received need not excite surprise.” The Reasons for Removal.—“There as need for Jacob's family being re- noved from Canaan, as some of them were becoming much tainted with the idolatry and pollution prevalent there. ‘n Egypt, on the whole, life was purer. Then there was a risk of their amal xamating by marriage with the doomed ‘anaanites; but the Egyptians were so different a race that there was no such risk with them. To be among the Egyptians would also be a benefit to them in other ways, for they would learn much from a people so skilled in all the arts of life and so superfur in civilization."—Blaikie. Even the af- Hictions they were to suffer there were not the least of their gains from the stay in Egypt, as we shall see. A Period of Prosperity.—Vs. 6, 7. It was a wise providence of God that ia- roduced the period of bondage in Egypt with a period of liberty and orosperity; otherwise, the Hebrews: would not have remained in Egypt after the end of the famine. A Period of Adversity.—Vs. 8-14. The period of prosperity throush which the Israelites passed was from Jehovah; but so, no less certainly, was the perfod of adversity which fol- lowed as soon as they were strong nough to endure it. Both were parts af God's great process of development and training. Rameses Il. as a Builder.—“This 4ing was the most enterprising builder ef all the Pharaohs, and that means he sacrifice of tens of thousands of ives He built temples and reared monoliths and colossal statues, His temples were approached through long. avenues of sphinxes. Out of the solid rock at [psambul he hewed two spa tions subterranean temples, and set ip at their doors four human figures 30 feet high, Among his public works was a chain of fortifications along the ntire northeastern fronticr of Egypt, for 160 miles, By his command im- mense dikes were built on the lower Nile and in the Delta, Canals were dug and cities were built."—Prof. E, P, Humphrey. The Climax of Cruelty.—Ex. 1:15-22. When Pharaoh found the Israelites flourishing even under this terrible op pression, he resorted to measures still more severe, ordering the destruction of their male infants as soon as they were born. The females would be harmiess, and would prove valuabie slaves, “A similar policy was pursued by the Lacedemonians toward the helots, by Mithridates toward his Ro- man subjects, and by the Caliph, Hakem, toward the Egyptians."—F. Johnson. When the official midwives evaded the king's command, “by a re- finement of cruelty to which the Herod of the future was not equat, he re quired parents to execute the sentence of death on their own children."— Humphrey. This was indeed the cll- See ce paniabaite “Prosperity ts a great teacher,” sald Hazlitt; “adversity. is a greater.” Affliction was called by Mallet “the wholesome soil of virtue,” in which patience, fortitude, and all the graces take root and flourish, Affliction gives us sympuachy for oth. ers in distress. “In the wounds our sufferings plow immortal Love sows sovereign seed."-—Massey, Affliction strengthens our mora! fiber,» Affliction discloses the best that 1 nus. ‘Trials show! ws our weaknesses bh VWOGUFin ‘f MT INP MES eee ge ee Ps . ae ee at. eT : he “e bie hoe | ; Pee ape oR it eas P " oad ai ‘ ead ee eee re Se. wa arty eran ee ae ere Nee oie ee ee f E a ie cml hi eae F re ee ie ee ig Ea ee seg ig i aires Parse Neat,” op pal AR Sane fre et WER oP MOORS Sie! 4 Selec ne: A alae ND Suite lk Magnets 8 5 + AES a rigs a lia art a ai OR ne eae ae Ae 5 a Paes} re ee ee. we Oat eae A tan a sd oe Nee "6S ca ew oe ae a aan Rey Ge bi Oe eas ey Paso Aeon oa Ok Oe ie a ey, 1 ee ae > a, Re ag ‘a eee we * " Up ees ie ak. RR, aa WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF DRESS ‘The array of millinery this season has been sufficient to tempt a Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, and it has been apparent to the most indifferent ob- server that there is considerable dif- ference in the present fashions from those of the preceding year. It must be frankly admitted that the mushroom shape reigns supreme. Made in fine shiny straw it obtains in every color, and the popular trim- mings are the encirclement of the crown by an upstanding ruche of rib- bon tied into a bow at one side; the covering of the crown with tulle, net, or lace gathered into beef-eater shape with the base bordered with a wreath of flowers; the surrounding of the crown by tulle of three colors with a group of flowers on either side or a group of wings. An exception to these riles is a mushroom hat of white chip with t narrow band of black velvet on the brim, the crown trimmed with pale blue ribbon intersected with a band of coarse rush embroidered in pink roses, A yery pretty idea this is, too, and quite new, Some of the smartest of the season's styles are shown in our illustration. The leghorn hat in the center is an exquisite creation, both as to real, downright loveliness and as to price. The glorious fox-tail feather encircles the hat and then droops down full and free to the nape of the neck. There are two full-blown pink roses clustered at one side of the hat, while the brim shows the lining, which is so much in favor this season, But what this hat possesses in the way of elegance the one above it to the right makes up In smartness of design and finish, It is of white or If one is looking for a smart but simple costume the one here pic: tured will offer suggestion which will be easily carried out. In some of the new geranium pink shades with desir- able contrast of color on revers and cuffs it would prove a costume of which any woman might feel proud. Pinafore bodices for grown-up wom- en seem rather an absurd idea— doesn’t it? And yet itis an idea which finds favor in the sight of very many. On some of the new spring gowns one sees the genuine pinafore bodice and on others merely the shoulder straps which give a bodice a pinafore effect. One thing to be sald in favor of this mode is that it {8 very prac- tical; it comes to us at a moment when renovations are attracting @ great deal of our attention, and it en- ables us to make a last year's bodice uptodate at small expense. My personal opinion 4s that the pln- afore bodice {s only suitable for quite young women and for girls; it has a cruel little way of making the woman of uncertain age look ridiculous. Another fashion—one of the latest novelties—which 18 suitable only for young and slender women, is the short eoatee which just covers tho waist- line and which {s distinctly shorter in front than at the back. Amongst the prominent colors which are to have the favor of the au- thorities stand forth those many shades which have heen known as “plekled cabbage,” and include dull purple, soft pink, and a sombre tone of red. These may be seen in all the new cloths and in volle, the popular trimmings for them being lace to match, which, candidly, I don't like, while { regretfully realize that this will make no difference to its success in the world of dress. Other decora- colored chip, with the crown Hterally smothered under a wealth of white wisterla, while in front some roses cluster and the bandeau is veiled with @ softness of tulle. The three other hats are pretty and decidedly stylish, but not so expensive, giving one the liberty of choice at moderate outlay, The large chip hat in the upper left hand corner of the picture is wreathed around with blue hyacinths and tiny pink roses. The other chip hat in the lower right hand corner 1s another of the new smart shapes in rose pink chip, whose crown is covered with many loops of silken ribbon, while roses and their fresh green follage are grouped together at one side. The last hat on the Ist is of burnt straw and trimmed simply with Saxe blue ribbon, pink roses and brown tulle, but which make a charm- ing harmony of color. As millinery accessories, colored lace veils are in demand. The most popular tones for these are mole grey, brown and blue. Blue of a dark pea- cock shade 1s a tint much sought after in straw and also observable on some of the latest triumphs in artificial hor ticulture. I confess I have little re- gard for the peacock blue popples, even when supplied with a crimson center, and I also admit the like ob- tains, and would seem to be sure of a welcome. Besides the lace vells there are vells of plain net, trimmed with a narrow silken fringe, and veils of a gradu ated chenille spots, bordered with vel- vet, and veils edged with kiltings, these last having made thelr first bid for favor last year, Other veils show designs of chenille on the edge, ané others again are plainly bound with satin ribbon Lo WA; Gr Ay Z 4 Sf SAN FF Wh \N i} \ \ | \, \ eae tions are embroideries of dull shades in different tones of silk, reminiscent of Bulgarian and Russian methods of embroidery, oxidized silver braid and silk braid to match in color, and but- tons of diverse designs in enamel or metal. All alike are patronized. Also soft dull toues of blue are by no means absent from Fashfon's scheme of cot- or, which includes, too, various tones of yellow, buff, and deep biscuit, WHAT MADE HIM DOUBTFUL. Gize of Commuter's Hat Caused Ao quaintance to Worry, A commuters on the D, L. & W. re marked to a friend the other morning, as they came into the city: “Hawkins, of Stamford, ts going to Move Into that new house next door to me. I know him very slightly, and 1 understand that you know him pret ty well.” “Yes, I have known him for upward of 20 years.” “Well, what kind of a fellow ts he, Qnyhow?" asked the commuter. “A first-rate fellow, and in every way desirable.

Good Work Being Done in Vancouver by the W. C. T. U. Several thousand miles from New York, on the island of Vancouver, in the city of Victoria, the Women's Christian Temperance Union have been carrying on a very successful work on practical lines. One branch of their work is a mission for men who are in a strange land, far the city of Victoria, the Women's Christian Temperance Union have been carrying on a very successful work on practical lines. One branch of their work is a mission for men who are in a strange land, far from home and without friends. Here they find a hearty welcome and people who take a personal interest in their welfare. There is a free reading-room and a pleasant dining-room, where attractive lunches are served at the smallest possible cost. The latter is greatly appreciated by those who have met with reverses, yet wish to pay something at least for what they receive. Many men have difficulty when out of work to live in a respectable way, and this the mission helps them to do. There are also some sleeping rooms, the number of which will be increased as soon as the much needed funds can be secured. It is supported by voluntary subscriptions. Every little while some one whom the mission has helped to make a new start in life, returns to visit the mission and leave something towards helping others in distress. The work was started several years ago in very cramped quarters. Some time ago better rooms were secured in a suitable part of the city near the landing places. Much of its success, says the Christian Herald, is due to the present manager, Mrs. Field, who has stood by it through many discouragements since she took charge three years ago. Her great tact and ready sympathy have won many friends for the Vancouver mission and the cause it represents. On the Wrong Side: Dr Ambrose Shepherd, of Glasgow, preaching in London recently, called attention to the remarkable and saddening discrepancy between the intense activity of the churches to day and the lack of spiritual results. How is it that the churches have to say again and again: "We have toiled all night and have taken nothing?" Dr. Shepherd answered his own question in these words: "The reason why so much of the prayer, toil, and sacrifice of the Christian church counts for little or nothing is because so many of us are living on the wrong side of Pentecost. Many of us know Christ; many of us are following Christ; but how many of us have claimed our own Pentecost, or have sought at Christ's hands that equipment for service without which all other equipment counts for nothing?" Preacher Descended from a King. W. M. Jackson, D. D., who is the great-great-grandson of a Madagascar king, was recently ordained in the American Episcopal church. He was born in North Carolina in 1854. The king from whom he descended was induced to send his two children, a boy and a girl, to Europe to be educated, but through treachery they were brought to America and sold into slavery. Dr. Jackson's father was a free man, and moved with his family to Oberlin, O. The son attended the public schools and in September, 1872, entered the freshman class of Oberlin college, two of his classmates being President Frost of Berea college, Kentucky, and Rev. F. B. Avery, rector of St. Paul's church East Cleveland, O. Summer Bible Conference. The National Bible institute, 156 Fifth avenue, New York city, announces that its first summer Bible conference will be held at Sagamore Be, ch, Mass, August 1 to 10. Its preside at, Don O, Shelton, states that the programme for the conference, now being arranged, will be unusually strong and will include some of the most helpful Bible teachers of the country. Sagamore Beach is on Cape Cod bay, 14 miles below Plymouth. Active in Missions. The Moravian church has just celebrated the four hundred and fiftieth anniversary of their organization. As no other body in the world, they have showed what it is possible for missionary zeal to accomplish, and today, although their membership in the United States is but 16,000, they maintain one missionary for every 65 members. Refuses to Yield The Protestant bishops in Ireland, with the exception of the primate, who is a graduate of Oxford, have adopted and issued a series of resolutions in which they refuse to accept the university scheme outlined by Mr. Bruce. Episcopal General Convention Preparations are already being made for the triennial meeting of the general convention of the Episcopal church to be held in Richmond, Va. next October. Work of the Extra Session. The extra session of the Missouri legislature, which has finished its labors, has sent to Gov. Folk for his signature 11 general bills besides the two appropriation bills. No extra session of the Missouri legislature ever did as much work as this and not very many general sessions have passed as many really important laws. The legislature lasted 35 days. The extra session called by the governor in 1895 served 37 days and sent one bill besides the appropriation to pay itself to the governor. It turned down two out of three measures named in the call, while this legislature passed some measure on every subject named in the call, though some were not in the form the governor first suggested, and his suggestions as to revenue measures, made after the legislature assembled, were defeated, as was ward local option, also mentioned in a supplementary message. The following new laws were enacted: The public utilities rate bill; no brewery owned saloons; no saloons in Columbia, the state university town; a law against shipping; liquor into local option counties; a law that covers all kinds of race track gambling; a law for the removal of derelict officials; a law preventing giving away liquor on election day; a fellow servant law for miners; a new child labor law. Trenton Well Advertised. As a result of the Trenton Clean City club collecting 80,000 tin cans the club has received communications from as far north as Toronto, Canada and as far south as Pensacola, Fla The Canada writer says that on 100 ordinary cans there is one and one half pounds of tin, worth 50 cents a pound, or 75 cents. The cost of removing the tin is ten cents a hundred. The Pensacola club wrote to ask how the cans were collected, how the boys were interested in the plan and how much they were paid for their work. Married Woman Who Sucd Him Isaac E. Manley, a wealthy iron manufacturer of Webb City, captivated and took out a License to marry his housekeeper, Mrs. Laura Robertson, who had sued him for $10,000 for breach of promise, then sued him for $5,000 for alleged conspiracy to create a riot in ejecting her from his home and caused the arrest and imprisonment of Manley's attorney, MR. Lively, and two special police officers who had tried to victet her. Motor Cars for the G. A. B. The veterans of the G. A. R. of Macon will go to the cemetery Decoration day in motor cars. This innovation was suggested by Harry M. Rubey, president of the State Motorling association, and the offer was accepted. The association at Macon can place about ten cars at the disposal of the veterans and several private machines will be tendered. The Southern veterans have been urged to participate in the exercises of the day. النموذج المطلوب Asks Writ to Restrain a Judge. The supreme court on May 29 will pass upon the application for a writ of prohibition fied by Tom Hennings of St Louis. He asks for the writ to restrain Circuit Judge Reynolds from hearing the case in which W. L. Watkins, state supervisor of building and loan associations, assumes to be receiver in St. Louis city for the Home Cooperative Association. Montgomery Tribune Sold. C. W. Turner of Chicago, has pursued the Montgomery Tribune from Ferd Warner, late of Chicago. Farmer Injured by Dynamite George Morton, a farmer living eight miles south of Boonville was so dangerously injured by a dynamite explosion that it is believed he cannot recover. He was using the explosive to blow stumps out of a field and had put in a charge and lit the fuse. After waiting several minutes he stooped over the stump to see if thus fuse was out. Th explosion came at that moment. He was blown nearly 20 feet, parts of the stump striking him in the head and face and inflicting terrible wounds. Drowned Far From Home. Thomas Robinson, a merchant of Macon has received a telegram from his brother-in-law in California, saying that the body of Mr. Robinson's son, T. Wright Robinson, drowned at Long Beach, Cal., April 29, had been recovered. Young Robinson was a law student and had been chief clerk of the judiciary committee in the California senate last session. He was 26 years old and was born and reared in Macon county. A Missouri Editor to the Territory. Col. John R. Reavis, recently city editor of the Star of Warrensburg has gone to Tulsa, I. T., to assume charge of a branch office of the Beaumont, Tex. Oll Investor's Journal, of which his son is editor and owner A big Land Sale. Dr. C. H. Van Ravensway of Boonville has purchased 1,787 acres of land in Callaway county, 15 miles northeast of Fulton, Consideration, $80,415. This is a part of 4,120 acres of land known as the Taylor Arnold farm. MRS. ROOSEVELT'S FAD IS COLLECTING OLD CHINA WASHINGTON.—"When everybody is somebody, nobody is anybody at all," as the clever gondiller remarks in the Sullivan opera. "So it is at the capital. In the large and growing class of "somebodies," the woman who wants to make her mark has to be different. Even Mrs. Roosevelt seems to recognize that fact and rather than be classed with the average she is making her personality felt along many lines. To begin with Mrs. Roosevelt, having set the national taste toward black for street wear and white for indoor occasions, switched off to the other extreme and now wears rather amazing combinations. No one except the president's wife could have hoped to put on snuffy-looking brown for a great wedding and not be classed with the dowds. Yet Mrs. Roosevelt did this very thing, and this winter saw innumerable dark brown and indigo blue afternoon and evening toilets, a radical departure from what Paris calls "good form." Mrs. Roosevelt has chosen to ally herself with that part of society which goes in for uplifting. U.S. ROGUES GALLERY THE United States government is to establish immediately in this city a criminal identification bureau, or what may be called an "Habitual Criminal Registry," for keeping the records of all men convicted of crimes against the federal laws, and also all indicted by grand juries of the United States courts. The bureau is to be under the supervision of the department of justice, and all prisons in the United States where government prisoners are, or have been confined, have been directed to send their records, consisting of photographs, Bertillon measurement cards and finger-print identification sheets immediately to the department of justice. A central bureau for the identification of federal law-breakers has been urged for some time by criminologists. Heretofore each prison in the United States has kept its own records, and a federal law-breaker could serve a term in one prison and be freed without the fact ever becoming known that he had served a previous term for a similar WISE WHITE HOUSE CROW IS OLD WEATHER PROPHET MANY folks in this city as well as elsewhere have been talking about the old crow which is known to have established his headquarters long ago in the White House grounds and whose skill as an augur has been advanced recently by a warning he gave that Easter Sunday would certainly be a moist and unpleasant day. To the east of the mansion on the north front, in a little grove of elms, the old bird has his habitation. Generally he occupies a tree very near to the north portion. There is a large hollow in the trunk of this tree and in the topmost branches his sable plumage is nearly always to be seen. Some of the policemen on duty about the grounds keep an eye on the old fellow at times, but the majority of them ignore him. "I have as much as I can do," said one of the bluecoats when the subject of the crow's methods was mentioned to him, "to keep my attention riveted upon the crowds of people that swarm here every day without giving any thought to the crow." But there are others about the White House who have paid considerable attention to him. One old retain- PRAYING MINISTERS of the Gospel in Washington and in some other places where Secretary Taft is well known, aim at him a curious criticism. They say that he does not often attend church, and that he does not seem to care for conventional religious forms and ceremonies. They do not say that the secretary is irreligious in the broad sense, but merely that he does not comply with the usual rule of men in high public station in the matter of attending divine worship regularly. For example, when he was on his way to Cuba the last time he had to spend Sunday at Charleston, S. C., where the old custom of going to church is rigid- RARE OLD CHINA Her name is on the list of patrons of art and music. She is pledged, when her husband leaves office, to aid in the establishment of a National Academy of Art and of a National Conservatory, both to be supported by government funds. She keeps up her membership with the Spanish-American War Relief society, and performs her part of the labors. Likewise the Army and Navy Relief society and the Cooperative society know her as a faithful contributing member, just as she was when her husband was in less exalted station. A few minor fads Mrs. Roosevelt also confesses. She wishes to go down in White House annals as the most intelligent and conscientious collector of historic china who has ever graced the stately mansion. She is making this claim good by delving and digging everywhere for pieces of the china used by presidential families since George sipped his tea out of gold-rimmed cups of Martha's best set. Every administration is now represented in the cabinet which adorns the portrait gallery in the lower floor of the White House. GOVERNMENT TO KEEP WATCH ON CRIMINALS offense in another penitentiary. Now all records are to be classified in Washington, and not in any of the federal jails or prisons. The Bertillon measurements, photographs and finger prints of the convicts are to be taken and sent to the central bureau. Also the records of all men suspected of being yeggmen, train or post office robbers. Those held in federal jails under indictment, etc., are to be sent there. The central bureau will ascertain the record of each man from the date he has, and if one not yet given trial proves to be an habitual criminal this fact will be made known to the prosecuting attorney and the judge previous to the hearing, and if the man is convicted it will mean that he will be given the limit. At the present time there are about 8,000 known criminals who violate the government laws, and a close tab is to be kept upon these in the future. It will go hard on a known criminal convicted in a United States court here after. er, who went into service when Gen. Grant became president, says this same crow was stationed near the house when he first took up a humble position there. "And we all know," said this old fellow, "that as a weather prophet he can give cards and spades to the bureau officers and beat them." There is no one of the officials, high or low, who will venture conjectures concerning this crow's age. Their guesses range anywhere from 27 years to time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, but there is a consensus that no matter how old he is he is a wise bird. That he possesses some influence is evident from the fact that his forecast of the weather for Easter prevented the ladies of some of the members of the minor offices about the White House from venturing out and risking a detriment to their headgear. "How long this old fellow will remain with us no one can tell," said one of the clerks. "He knows he has a good place where no hunter can take a pot shot at him and no wanton little boy can hurl a rock at him, so he is wise enough to stand pat." SECRETARY TAFT NOT A REGULAR CHURCH GOER ly adhered to by all the better class of citizens. It was noted that the secretary did not go to church there, and one or more ministers of that city have since then made inquiries of men of the cloth in Washington as to the secretary's church connection and habits in this city. Some of Judge Taft's friends here say he is a Unitarian, and others that he is an Episcopalian, but nobody seems clear as to how often he goes to church when in Washington. Withal, however, the secretary's life is singularly pure, even though he may not regularly attend divine worship. KANSAS STATE NEWS. An Attorney's Perverse Cow. An Attorney's Perverse Cow. O. E. Ellis, a chanute attorney, owns a three-year-old cow that is, to say the least, a peculiar bovine. The cow has a calf over four weeks old, and there is a litter of five pigs in the barn lot that are about the same age as the calf. The cow has to be tied while the calf is permitted to suck, and Mr. Ellis is afraid to turn the calf in the lot with the cow fearing that the cow will kill it. The cow has laid claim to the litter of pigs and when the pigs are absent the cow runs up and down the fence apparently in a distracted frame of mind, bellowing in distress. The pigs stand up on their hind legs and suck the cow, resting their front feet against the cow. Delegates to the Civic Federation. Delegates to the Civic Federation.

Welk, a miller at Haven, will leave soon for Southern Russia, where he will erect a flour mill and equip it with American machinery. He will build it himself. Mr. Welk is a Russian by birth, but has lived here for years and has made money in the milling business. He sees a far better opportunity, however, to operate a mill in Russia with up-to-date American equipment. Campbell Commander of G. A. B. Campbell Commander of G. A. R. Judge R. A. Campbell of Hutchinson was elected department commander of the G. A. R. of Kansas by acclamation at the reunion at Topeka. C. B. Martin was elected department commander of the Sons of Veterans. All sofficers were officially installed at the auditorium and state house. It was decided to hold the next annual encampment at Kansas City, Kansas Harvest Will Be Late. Farmers agree that wheat prospects have brightened materially in the past few days of warm weather and in Dickinson county report no serious injury from bugs. It is probable that a good average crop will be gathered. The damage from freezing seems to have affected only the more advanced fields and soft wheat. Just how much that damage will be is uncertain. Harvest will be very late. Will Build Paraffine Plant Contracts were made at Erie for furnishing machinery and equipment for a large paraffine plant on the Great Western refinery site. About 50 carloads of material will be required and shipments will be begun about July 1. The Great Western people expect to complete the new plant before the end of September. Brick Plant Closed by Car Shortage. Brick Plant Closed by Car Shortage. Because of inability to get cars in which to ship its product the Coffeyville Brick company has decided to shut down its Chanute plant Liguor Per Capita. The annual consumption of liquor in Kansas per capita, according to statistics, is less than 15 per cent of the annual consumption per capita in the states outside of Kansas, says the Arkansas City Searchlight. Nebraska on the north pays 17 times as much and Colorado on the west 14 times as much liquor tax to the United States as does Kansas. A Record Smashing Hen. A Woodson county hen is trying to smash some more records. She laid two eggs recently measuring 7 1/2 inches around the long way and 5 3/4 inches around the other way. The green bug has not hurt the egg crop. K. U. Students Visit Prison. Dr. Frank W. Blackmar, professor of sociology at the University of Kansas, accompanied by 35 students visited the United States prison at Leavenworth and the Kansas penitentiary in Lansing. Professor Blackmar takes the members of his sociology classes to Leavenworth to inspect the prisons each year. Many in Corn Growing Contest Many in Corn Growing contest. One hundred and 14 McPherson county boys have sent in their names to be registered with Superintendent Coons in the list of contestants in the corn growing contest. The contest promises to be a lively one and will result in some fine corn being raised. The contest will be decided in the County Farmers' institute to be held this fall. The 18 winners will be given a free trip to Manhattan next winter to enter the state corn growing contest and attend the course of instruction which will last nine days. C.B. FIZER M. B. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky. writes: "I have suffered with kidney and bladder trouble for ten years past." "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." *Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble.* Mrs. Geo. H. Simsr, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly all the time." "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manalin." "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." It is the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys service at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. Danger In Signals. "I was playing a game of cards in a mining camp in the Rockies," said the mild-mannered man, "when suddenly my partner, by way of a gentle hint, held up two fingers to indicate that he had a pair. Quick as a flash, one of our opponents whipped out his dirk and slashed off the fingers. "Awful! Well, it was pretty bad, but wasn't he in luck that he didn't have a full hand?"

Here in Kansas City the Rising Son the oldest Negro journal began its career. It has gone through many crises. It has almost been to the wall, but by some prepossessional power it has maintained its grip in the city. The Rising Son too has had many owners and managers during its ten years career. Many Negroes occupying eniment positions as school teachers, mail carrier and lawyers have been connected with this paper. Some of the people who have been connected with this paper at various times are Harry Graham, now teacher at Western University; Prof. J. S. Harris principal at Summer School, the late Prof. S. R. Bailey, Mrs. Francis Jackson, now a teacher at Lincoln Institute, T. B. J. Robinson, Willis Mosley, J. F. Cole and the veteran newspaper man Lewis Wood. Many more which could be recorded. Mr. Wood turning the paper over to the new manager. The people who have worked on the paper could no doubt tell the public some interesting experiences. One strong reason why the Son did not go down was because the people have long desired a good, negro journal. During these long years of continuous success the Son seemed not to have the proper master. If the right person had of been in the right place they never would have deserted the paper. The controllers of the paper at that time only needed to arouse an interested public. Some of the essential things for the maintaining of a good Negro newspaper. First the paper must have something there in to live and interesting. Third, there must be a unity between the subscribers and the officials of the paper. Fourth, you must have a community from which you can draw fresh batches of news each week. Fifth there must be a general support throughout the entire community in which you have a circulation. Sixth the subscribers must pay their subscriptions promptly. Seventh there must be a sympathy on the part of the general public. Eighth the editors and reporters must bow to the will of the public. Ninth, the people on the paper must have enough ability to deliver the goods. Tenth, the paper must be prompt regular and on time. These are some of the most essen- For Cash or on Easy Payments If you are thinking about making a purchase it will be worth your while to come in and see us first.

Successful Labor for on" Among the es of the City. tial things it takes to run a first class Negro journal. Hence these are thoughts for serious consideration. The reason that the Negroes should have a good paper is four-fold in its answer. There are many reasons. Through a Negro paper the colored people can learn of their own ac- complishments from an unbiased standpoint. They need a good paper to show them the light, to guide them through political campaigns. To tell them what men to support. To tell them when a Negro political leader is leading them wrong. To fight for their rights upon all occasions. To help the underdog in his fight for existence. To shield the innocent. To protect our women. To instruct the growing young men. To encourage the young graduates. To sound the alarm when danger is near. To be ready upon all occasions to declare for justice and equal rights. To show to the white men that are friends of the Negro that their labor has not been in vain. To sing of the deeds of their fathers and mothers during the time of slavery. All of these things are conductive to one object, the maintaining of a first class Negro journal with a city circulation of 10 or 15 thousand. The Negro has gone a long ways toward solving the race problem. The new men on the Rising Son are making a strive for about 15,000 subscribers among the 35,000 negroes. Every subscriber should assist us in our efforts to reach 15,000 colored people. Let every one who takes this paper speak a good word for the paper. In securing 15,000 subscribers in Kansas City and a few thousand out of Kansas City, the Negroes could justly boast of having a splendid opportunity of being assisted in improving their conditions. Every country hamlet should have this paper in their home. Every Negro voter should see to it to have a copy of this paper in their home to be instructed along political lines. They should be enlightened in regard to their lodges, and when they have meetings, church news should be read in their rooms. All of this in its entirety should be had. Right will always triumph over might, and if this be the case the Son will soon reach the 10,000 mark and then on and on. At last the Rising Son has secured the right people for the --- 1006-1008 East Eighteenth Street Home Phone 5077 Main Choice brands are on hand.

With sincere confidence and sympathy on the public's part the paper will take a boom and then go on. Let the day hasten when the Rising Son will enter to brighten every household and hamlet. A continued effort will bring success. THE RISING SON QUERY BOX. This query box is for the benefit of the public. Everybody is at liberty to ask questions, except those questions of the strictest private nature, etc., and to answer any question desired. You will please write your question or answer and bring or mail it to the office of the Son, 914 E. 12th Street. Why is it that the Negroes do not support their Newspapers, which are so valuable in giving to the world the progress of the race? Which is the proper day for the Negroes to celebrate as emancipation day? The Son hopes that the patrons of this paper will feel that its columns are open, but it also wishes to state that people not subscribing for this paper should at least order the paper when they send in their news. The Rising Son is making a canvass for 15,000 subscribers within the next 8 or 10 months. Can they get them? Have you been to the new Arlington Theatre? If not, why not, and when are you going? Do the Colored people of this city desire to see a newsy news paper? Will they show that they want one? MRS. N. J. REYNOLDS. The Only Living Chartered Member of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. Mr. N. J. Reynolds, a historical church woman of our race, and evangelist of the Colorado conference, is a pioneer citizen of Kansas City. She is visiting her son, Mr. Wm. Bowles. of 710 E. Sixth St., and a host of old friends. She was married in this city about 39 years ago to Mr. Byrson Bowles, and later moved to Colorado; since which time she lost her husband in that state, and later in 1895 was the second time married to Mr. John Reynolds. The great religious worker was inspired and moved by the spirit of Almighty God to go into all the world and preach the everlasting gospel. She started as an evangelist from the Colorado Conference appointed by Bishop Tanner in 1899. Having been successful in her work in Colorado, she came eastward and has been very active this year in the evangelical work in her home state. She visited a large number of churches in Missouri, and says she finds a great need of enthusiastic church women who will go into the mission work with all their mind and strength to do something for God and humanity. The most interesting feature about the sketch of this character is that she is one of the founders of Allen Chapel in 1867 the first A. M. E. church, it was at that time located on Locust, between Third and Fourth streets. The first pastor of that church was Rev. William Owsley, who formerly resided in Carrollton, Mo. There were only eight members who constituted, the organization which was perfected by the Presiding of Leavenworth, Kansas, Rev. J. C. Emery, who later became to be a Bishop. The following are the eight charter members of the church of which all are dead except Mrs. Reynolds, whose former name was Annie Brown: William Lewis, Robert Campbell, Smith Douglass, Peter Wills, Delpha Lewis, Naney Rounds, Nannie Brown and Phenix Brown. Mrs. Reynolds will be glad to have her friends call while in the city which will only be about two weeks more, and then will return to Colorado Springs. She will preach next Wednesday night at the A. M. E. church in Westport. ```markdown ``` Furniture Co. Kansas City, Kans. Store Siota Ave. Home Phone 1073 We FE and RESTAURANT NOW OPENED. Meals and Short Orders. From 6 A. M. to 12 P.
