VOL. XVIII. Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES Home for Aged Negroes. A Washington special says: Senator Nelson offered an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, appropriating $100,000 for a home for aged colored people to be built in Washington. Fifteen hundred of the elite Negro population of Houston and South Texas, and 500 representative white citizens of Houston, assembled at the auditorium to welcome Booker T. Washington, and his private secretary, Emmet J. Scoot, and it was a welcome of which any orator of modern times might feel proud. Alex Dumas Watkins, the only Negro who has ever acted in the capacity of instructor in Princeton University, is deal. Watkins had been in the employ of the university for eight years, and in a few years showed such proficiency in the science of histology that he was permitted to tutor some of the students who were back in their work. During the last two years he has also been an assistant in the biological department, where he made a number of clever experiments. He was considered the brightest old Negro in Princeton. He was fifty-one years old, and leaves a widow and several children.—Indianaapolis Freeman. To Publish Wreng Doers. A Washington special says: Following his avowel purpose to punish those federal office-nolders who have in their capacity of republican party officials, been charged with bartering their influence, President Roosevelt will issue orders at once for the dismissal of four active negro politicians in Georgia. The identity of the men convicted of this method of procedure by the reports of the postoffice inspectors has not yet been disclosed. The postmasters who are alleged to have been held up are not to be disturbed, the president regarding them victims rather than accessories. Right Will Prevail. The democrats of the West Virginia legislature recently introduced a "Jim Crow" car bill. As the legislature is strongly republican, the bill will be defeated. For several years past the democratic party has been trying hard to capture West Virginia, and should it ever succeed the greater portion of Afro-Americans there will be deprived of the right of suffrage through the enactment of infamous election laws. But there is a steady tide of immigration from western Pennsylvania and from disgustingly democratic southern states, and everything points to continued republican rule in West Virginia. Wherever the republican party is supreme, the right of suffrage is assured.—New York Age. Fina and Sword Condemned At a recent mass meeting of some of the colored citizens of Richmond, the following resolutions were adopted: "Whereas, the public press has communicated to us a certain speech purporting to have been made by our friend and townsman, James H. Hayes, in the city of Washington, which speech, if true, we regard as being incondiary; and, "Whereas, the said press publish the fact that the said James H. Hayes was counsel for the colored people of Virginia. "Now, therefore, as citizens of Richmond, we desire to enter our protest and disapproval of the utterances attributed to Hayes, as having been made at a public meeting in the city of Washington. "We now, therefore, invite the representative colored men of this city to meet us in conference to take such action as may be deemed necessary to place us properly before the public as colored men engaged in business in the city of Richmond." * * * Fighting "Jim Crow" Measure. The obnoxious bill introduced in the Missouri legislature by Crisp, of Kansas City, providing for "Jim Crow" cars on all railway lines, does not meet with the approval of the colored people of the state Large delegations of Negroes are hard at work trying to defeat it. The feeling against the proposed measure has grown so strong that telegrams were sent out to Negro preachers in every town in the state asking them to pray for the defeat of the bill. As a result, prayer meetings were held in nearly every hamlet and town in the state, the object of which is to supplicate God that the bill may meet defeat. As many of the Negroos are so employed that they cannot attend until late, all-night prayer meetings are being held in the larger cities. The Savannah SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1903. When Colonel Crisp learned that protesting delegations of Negroes would appear before the railroad committee when the bill was to come up, he declared that he would make no argument for the bill. Field Was Not Chairman. According to a Washington dispatch, Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the treasury, has written a letter to The Attahila Constitution in which he shows that W. A. Pleidiger, of Georgia, and not Adams, presided at the meeting of the Afro-American council the other evening, when James Hayes, the Virginia colored lawyer, delivered himself of a red-hot speech. In this letter, Assistant Register Adams says that the reports of Hayes' speech does him an injustice, as it was not as intemperate as extracts would seem to indicate. He at the same time desires it stated that Hayes is not a member of the executive committee of the council, and that that body does not stand for incendiary utterances of any kind. Attörney Hayes was put upon the list of speakers by Bishop Walters, chairman of the executive committee, and was warned against anything intemperate. His utterances were condemned by some of the other speakers at the same meeting. As for himself, Assistant Register Adams says: "So far as I am individually concerned. I am a believer in law and order. I have preached that through The Appeal, of which I am publisher, for nearly twenty years, and I respectfully refer all interested to the files of that paper and to my deportment as a citizen of Chicago and also of Washington, where I have resided for two years. So far as I know and believe the officers and members of the National Afro-American council are also advocates of law and order in the settlement of the many difficult questions which confront us as citizens of this republic." . . . . College Gets Printing Outfit College Gets Printing Outfit. The industrial department of the Morris Brown college, the Methodist Negro college in Atlanta, Ga., has been greatly improved by the addition of a complete printing outfit, consisting of two printing presses, type, four large composing stands and other requisites such as ink, binders and paper cutters. Students who take the printing course will be required to work from two to four hours daily. Other important improvements which are planned at this school are the erection of a large blacksmith shop and a modernly equipped laundry. The blacksmith shop will be completed the first of June, and the laundry a few months later. These additions to the industrial department of the college will help to give employment to deserving students who are compelled to work their way through the school, and at the same time will give them a trade which will be invaluable in after life. Rev. R. D. Stinson, collecting commissioner of the college, in speaking of Negrocs and Negro education, said: "We have long since realized that the hope of the Negro race, here elsewhere, if he (the Negro) is to ever stand upon his feet, largely depends upon how well he can do with his hands what he finds he can do. "The youth of the race must get the clearest conception of the dignity of labor. For 95 per cent of this infant race must work with their hands or become beggars; 78 per cent of the white people are laboring with their hands. And after all, honest toil is no disgrace. It has neyer been nor will it ever be. It is rather conducive to good health, long life, easy conscience and good humor. "The friend of the Negro race cannot show his friendship better than by assisting him in the Christian schools to obtain that which best fits him to realize the highest ideals of good citizenship. "It is gratifying to know that a very great number of the race realize that their destiny is in their own hands; and that after all the Negro is simply what he makes himself." NEGROES TO HOLD CONFERENCE. Colored Citizens of Jasper County, Gz. Will Discuss Many Subjects. Ga., Will Discuss Many Subjects. The negroes of Jasper county, Ga., will hold a meeting at Monticello on February 14th to discuss the best ideas about farming, going into debt, how to rear their children, how to pay for homes, and other questions of interest to the race. There will be a grand barbecue. After Half Century of Prohibition Loe Post Station Hill New York Traded Local Option Will Now be Tried. The advocates of local option carried the state of Vermont in an election Tuesday, and after more than half a century of prohibition, cities and towns of Vermont will, after March 1, be permitted to decide whether or not intoxicating liquors shall be sold in these communities, IN FAVOR OF TREATY Another Step is Taken Toward Building of Great Canal. SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES O. K. Morgan and Bacon Vote in the Negative; the Latter, However, Will Not Oppose Ratification and Explains His Action. The senate committee on foreign relations, Tuesday, agreed to a favorable report on the canal treaty. The agreement to report the treaty was reached after three or four sittings, devoted in the main to hearing Senator Morgan's objections to the documents in the present shape. He had not concluded when the vote to report was taken, but he announced that he would be willing to transfer the discussion to the floor of the senate. This was in accordance with a suggestion made by Senator Cullom, who told the dissenting senator that he had satisfied himself that the committee was prepared to report the treaty to the senate without amendment and that owing to the pressure of other business the members were anxious that the committee discussion should come to an end. He added the supposition that Mr. Morgan would desire to present his amendments to the senate and suggested that there was no necessity for discussion of the same points both in the committee room and the senate chamber. Senator Morgan assented to this proposition and said he would not feel offended in the least if the treaty should be reported. A vote on the resolution was then taken and carried by a large majority. Only two senators, Morgan and Bacon, voted against it. The committee will recommend the ratification of the treaty without amendment. The general opinion of the members is that Senator Morgan will continue his opposition on the floor of the senate and that several long sessions will be necessary to secure a vote. Senator Bacon explained that his vote was not inspired at all by opposition to ratification, but that he felt the efforts of Senator Morgan to ament the document should be exercised in the committee rather than in the executive sessions of the senate. Other members of the committee took the position that Senator Morgan might as well be cut short in committee and take up his contest for amendment in the senate, and they voted to report the treaty a once without giving him the opportunity to go fully into his objections. Senator Bacon did not consider this the proper course because the treaty was sent to the committee in order that all objections to it should be passed upon. Senator Bacon thinks that some of Senator Morgan's amendament the document should be exercisereaty, but he is willing to accept it as it stands, rather than fight to amend it, because amendment would undoubtedly mean considerable delay in ratification and in the construction of the canal. The Panama canal treaty was reported to the senate in executive session later in the day by Chisirman Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign relations. He did not make an effort to secure consideration of the treaty, but stated that the committee had agreed to report it unamended. Senator Morgan offered in the senate the amendments to the treaty which he had offered in committee. They were ordered printed without being read. WOMEN ALSO FIGHT LEE. Auxiliary of G. A. R. Protest Against Honoring Him in Statuary Hall. The woman's relief corps of the District of Columbia, an auxiliary organization of the Grand Army, at is fourteenth annual convention in Washington adopted resolutions protesting against the placing of a statue of General Robert E. Lee in the statuary hall of the national capitol as proposed by the legislature of Virginia. TO HONOR JEFFERSON. First Subscription to Memorial Received by Admiral Dewey. A Washington dispatch says: In response to the appeal made for subscriptions to the proposed memorial to Thomas Jefferson as the author of the Declaration of Independence, Admiral Dewey, Monday, received the first subscription to the project. It came from the Colorado Daughters of the Revolution. The senate Monday confirmed the nomination of George E. Roberts, of Town, to be director of the mint. Tribune. GEORGIANS ARE FETED. Governor Terrell and-Party Have Royal Time Among Host-of Friends In Gotham. Governor Terrell and members of the Georgia party were the honored guests of the Georgia Society of New York at the annual banquet given by the society at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel Tuesday night. The affair was carried out on a most elaborate scale, and every feature was heartily enjoyed by all present. Proverbal Georgia hospitality pervaded the very atmosphere of the dining hall and the guests of the evening were made to feel thoroughly at home at once. Naturally, a great deal of interest centered about the speech by Governor Terrell, and he did not disappoint his hearers, who complimented his sifting address by applauding warmly at opportune moments. His declaration that the people of a state or section grappling with internal problems needed intelligent sympathy without interference instead of ignorant assistance with prejudicial intermeddling, was the signal of a burst of tumultuous cheers. A number of impromptu speeches were made during the evening by prominent persons. Among the speakers was Hon. Clark Howell, president of the upper house of the general assembly of Georgia. Other members of the Georgia party responded to appropriate toasts and the evening passed most pleasantly for all present. Those at the guests' table included Mayor Low, George Foster Peabody, Clark Howell, James M. Griggs, N. A. Morris and Rev. Dr. S. A. Steele Mrs. Terrell was escorted to the table by Charles H. Williams and Mrs. Clark Howell by I. H. Mercer. The toasts were as follows: "United States," drunk standing; "Empire State of the South," Mayor Low; "Empire State of the North." Governor Terrell; "Empire City of the World," G. F. Peabody; "James Oglethorpe, Founder of Georgia," Oscar Strauss. Governor Terrell and his party were entertained previously at lunch by Hon. William Randolph Hearst, publisher of The New York American and congressman-elect from New York. Luncheon was served at 1 o'clock and a delicious menu was spread before the Georgians, whose appetites had been considerably, whetted by tramps about the city earlier in the day and on sight-seeing expeditions. The conversation at luncheon touched on many interesting and varied subjects and kind words were showered upon the host by the southerners, one of the party declaring that down in Georgia there were many who would be perfectly satisfied with Mr. Hearst as candidate to succeed Roosevelt. DOBLIN DID IT ALL. Naval Affairs Committee's Verdict in Lessler Bribery Investigation. The committee on naval affairs of the house Tuesday agreed upon a report in the Lessler bribery charges it relation to the Holland submarine boats. The following are the findings: "1. That the charge made by Mr. Lessler that an attempt had been made to corruptly influence his action respecting proposed legislation is sustained by the evidence; such attempt, in the opinion of the committee having been made by one Philip Doblin, on his own initiative and responsibility, with the idea of making money for himself if he should find Mr. Lessler corruptly approachable. "2. That there is no evidence to sustain the charge of an attempt by Lemuel E. Quigg to corruptly influence a member of the committee. "3. That there is no evidence to sustain the charge of an attempt by the Holland Submarine Boat Company or any of its agents to corruptly influence a member of the committee on naval affairs representing proposed legislation before said committee and the house. "In view of the foregoing, we recommend that the clerk of the committee be directed to certify to the attorney general of the United States a copy of the testimony taken at the hearing with a request that he take such action as the law and the facts warrant." By a vote of 9 to 6 the committee decided against the proposition to authorize additional submarine torpedo boats. WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.

Identification was difficult and only one body was identified with certainty. Other remains are being taken from the ruins. The total number of dead thus far reported is twenty-four, and it is now bellovos that the fatalities will number not less than thirty-five. CANAL TREATY IN PERIL. President and Secretary Hay Alarmed Over Attitude of Senator Morgan in Opposition to Ratification. A Washington special says: An important conference was held at the White house Saturday, the participants being the president, Secretary Hay and Senator Cullom, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate. The subject under discussion was the status of the Panama canal treaty. The situation, with regard to the treaty as it has developed in the senate is giving the administration and its supporters grave concern. The president is exceedingly anxious that the treaty should be ratified at the earliest possible moment. The conference held Thursday was with a view of ascertaining, if possible, what could be done to hasten consideration of the treaty by the senate. It is quite certain that the advices received by the president are not reassuring. An effort is to be made to get the treaty out of committee with a favorable report. That the effort will be successful is reasonably certain, but its troubles in the present view of the matter will only have begun. Senator Morgan, chairman of the committee on interoceanic canals, takes the ground that the negotiations conducted by the state department with Mr. Herran, representing Colombia, are not valid, as he holds that Mr. Herran did not possess the necessary authority to make a treaty binding on his country, and it is understood he will use his utmost efforts to defeat the treaty in its present form. Indeed, the intimation has reached the president that when the treaty is called up for final consideration in the senate, amendments will be offered to almost every section of it. It is stated definitely that another amendment to the treaty would imperil the entire canal project, as the government of Colombia might hesitate to accept amendments made to it, particularly if they involved essential details or principles. During the conference the situation was considered carefully, but what decision, if any, was reached, could not be ascertained. It is known only that an earnest effort is to be made in the senate to secure ratification of the treaty at the present session. SOLDIERS·WERE BRIBED. Morocco Sultan's Victory Gained by Gold as Well as Guns. A dispatch from Tangier says: The features of the sultan's victory over the forces of the pretender, Bu Hamara, show that the battle was stubbornly contested and the former's success was largely due to the co-operation at a critical moment of the Beni Ourein tribe, whose defection from the rebels the sultan had previously purchased with gold.

Away with the idea! The Negro does not want it.

Judson Lyons that on assuming his oflice as Register of the Treasury, that he found’all the colored clerks segregated in oneroom. Calling up the white Chief of that Division he asked the cause. ‘Ob, it just hap- pened 8o,’suid the Chief. ‘Ehen just unhappen it,’ said the Register.” ‘Tue venerable editor of the Geor- ga Baptist, the Rev.

For the past ten years there have been two fac- tions in the state and despite form- er efforts for reconciliation, they are still apart. Editor White is to be commended for his efforts to heal this breach. In his endeavors he should be upheld by those who are in favor of unity. ‘Lo have a recon- ciliation would be the crowning event of the venerable editor’s life, and it is hoped that the proper sen- timent will pervade the heart of every Baptist in the state and cuuse them to act as their Master would haye them. - Tue sentiment that all of our people should imbibe is contained in these few words by Bruce Grit: “Let the colored men all over the country be discreot, temperate of speech, cautious in action, modest in bearing and determined to occu- py the vantage ground which the heroism and suffering of the black man on two hundred battlefields of the rebellion gave to their posterity and all will be well. Don’t boast and don’t embarrass those of anoth er race, who are endeavoring to se- cure to ua and to our posterity the blessings of liberty and equality be- fore the law and who recognize our right tobe. ‘The problem will, ad- just itself and nothing we can do or say will in avy particular retard or husten its solution.

The most recent “by request” introduction was made oy, Senator Hanna on Wednesday. “Che big hearted Sena- tor is always obliging and did-as he was iequested by the men who are going over the country and trying to build up false hope in the breast of the old ex-slaves, and as has been published, duped many of them iu- to paying certain amounts to further the plan. ‘The men who are behind this echeme are not men of means, and undoubtedly they are living on the credulity of those whom they in- fluence into the idea of getting a pension and for that reason they are fighting hard to make an impression on the mind of those whom they are misleading. The “by request bill” introduced by Senator Hanna will give them farther material to aid them in their campaign. Those swho are duped in the belief that the ex-alaves will receive pension from the government should be made to understand that this will never oc- curand that they had better stop paying into the coffers of any insti- tution or to any eet of men money tu have euch an act pass Congress.

Tho first thing that my attention was called to.was that there was not the usaal crowd of colored and white people at the atations to meet the train. 1 judged from that these people are beginning to learn the real value of time and were remaining at their Work. Those that were at the stations had a-busi- ness move and appeared to be there on business On arriving in Savannah I was met at the station by Adjutant Sol. G.

E. Love, M. D., S. Palmer Lloyd, M.D. Treasurer; J. Henry Bugg, M. D., ©. Bryant Whaley, M.D., secretary, 306 West Henry atreet. They also have a loan company known as the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company with an authorized capital.of $50,000, $2000 of which is Baia in. This is what Atlanta needs and must have. ‘This institution is filling a long feltueed. Some of our people will and must borrow and this institu- tion can lend them at a reasonable rate. | ‘There ie a fine market in Savan- nab and the colored people are ‘doing a great deal of the business in it. G, L. Bowen is one of the lead- ing poultry dealers in the market. | ‘The colored Masons have six lodges there in good condition, with possibly one exception. ‘They are geod workmen and are doing ex- cellent work for the order. ‘They Will some day in the near future have a Maonic temple. They com- pose some of the best men in the city and that section. With such men as compose the Masonic frater- nity in that city the white citizens can alwaya feel that their interests ere safe. I met them in a joint ses- sion Wednesday night January 21, jand found them a fine, well-inform ed set of workmen. The meeting ‘waga grand one. After the meeting ‘the past officers and brothers of the different lodges eecorted us to the ‘bangnet hall of the Adelphia Club, where amost elegant banquet waited us - The entertainment was one among the best we have attended. ‘The Adelphia Club owns its build- inge and 18 composed of some of the leading men of the city. The F ces are living is peace and harmovy. No friction, Every one seema to be a friend to every other person and they are living examples of what can be in every southern city. The colored people spoke in glowing termis of the friendship and good treatment of their white friends, and the white citizens spoke of the excellent behavior and pro- greesiveness of some of their color- ed citizens. ? They have several fine public echool buildings and I understand, ull are well filled. Ionly had time to visit one, that was Professor J. C. Rose’ school He has some bright scholars and when it comes to sing- | ing Lam told his echool has no equal in the city. Imust confees I was favorably impressed ‘with both the city and’ its people. . I thourht the city a kind of alittle city pear alow marshy place on the river, which Yiver would run up in. the city when the tide rises. But I was mistaken. The city is high from the water, atreets well paved and well cleaned and it isindeed a mo- lel city and would make a good summer resort. Savannah and her peopie are all right. Ministers Union. ~ 4 business meeting, such would characterize the proceedings of the Evaugelical Ministers Union on ‘Tuesday morning. Rev. . R. Sims, the president, presided. Rev. H. R. Ellis conducted the devotional ex- erclaes, with the beautiful hymn, “Must Jesus bear the cross sloue” and read the 23d Pealm, Man is “peremially interesting to man”; in- deed the proper study of mankind is man, and if we look strictly to it, there is nothing else eo interesting. How inexpressibly comforting then it must be to know our fellow-creat- ure, to see into him, also to sée out ofhim and to view the world alto- gether as he views it, or rather from his point or view. ‘Such thoughts would arise as the natural sequence of the characteristics “friendly” criticism On our devotional exercis- ea, from time to time, and which are especially helpful and encouraging in many instauces. In this connec- tion the remarks of Rev. R. H. Sin- gleton who was followed by Revs. D.S. Wells, J. W. Roberts and Jus. Jackson ehould constitute the ne plus ultra of our intellectual sym posium. Miss Sophia Nix of Au- gusta was introduced to the Union by Rev. J. A. Hadley, chairman of the committee on charity, traveling preachers and teachers. She is rep- resenting an orphanage at Auguata, und is soliciting further aid among our people-and citizens of Savannah generally. Sermonic reports as follows : Rev. C. W. N wton reported a sermon from Jodges 7:4, “The peopie are too many,” subject “The minority the strength, or chiel support in every great cause ;” in which the stolid indifference, self-complacen- cy acd logubciourwess on the part of the mujority in the cause of Christ to-day was graphically out- lined, showing first that the majori- ty content themselves with being simply hearera of the Word, second, they do the talking and voting only to bind heavy burdens on the shoul- ders of the ininority, who does the work, third, while the majority is given up to this spiritual dolce far niente, the pliant victims of base criticiem, fault-finding and com- plaining the minority is pressing on- ward and upward, bearing the bur- den of the majority toward the mark for’the prize of the high calling-in Christ Jeeus i Rev. J. W. Roberts reported sermon from Acts 17:26, “And made lof oné blood all nations of men,” which was treated ina most inter- ‘esting and scholarly manner, under [the quaint subject of the “Brather- hood of man and the Fatherhood of | God” The doctor exceeded himeelf Iwith the many heart-rending illus. trations, and deductions from cur- rent events, in the comity of na. Ition’s race prejudice and ostracism. Rev. P. F. Curry reported a ser. mon from 1st Epistle General o} John 3:1, subject “What manner o! love that brings us to God,” which was a very practical and timely dis course, on the matchless love o! God, on the display of Christ in hie primeval glory. But where eo many report ser mons at the same time it 1s impos. sible to render @ more satisfactory digest in extenso. The meeting ad- journed with the benediction by Rev. W. B. Berrien, EB Jonathan Nelson, Secretary St. Philip’s Dots. Sunday was communion day and a large congregation was outat each seryice. Rev. Newton preached an excellent sermon at 11 a.m. His text was Judges 14:7, subject “The ministry is the strength of ull good causes.” Key. Newton proved to the congregation that the majority ie not the strength in all cases. The apeaker illustrated the subject 50 plainl7 that everybody readily agreed with him. At 3p. m. tne Lord’s supper was administered toa large congregation ; two persons were ad- mitted to membership. At 8 p. m. Rev. Newton also delivered a grand sermon to a large congregation ; text Luke 22:8, subject “The voyage after soula” ‘This was one of the grandest sermons that have been heard in this church for a grest while.

LOGAN, {6ole Agent, Perry and Randolph Streets: Catarrh Remedies and Doctors Failed Pe-ru-na Cured. MR. A. E. KIDD. ELGIN, ILL.—In a very recent communication from this place comes the news that Mr. Arthur Ernest Kidd, a well-known architect of that city, has made complete recovery from catarrh of the head, from which he had suffered for nearly a quarter of a century. He writes from 18 Hamilton ave.: "I am 42 years of age, and have had catarrh of the head for over half of my life, as a result of scarlet fever, followed by typhoid fever. I got so bad that I was almost constantly coughing and clearing my throat. The catarrh greatly impaired my eyesight, and the hearing in one ear, and reduced my weight to 110 pounds. "I tured nearly every catarrh remedy advertised, besides a great many different physicians' treatments, all of which failed "I had heard and read of Peruna, and finally decided to try it two months ago. I have now taken seven bottles, and weigh 172 pounds. Never felt happier or nicer. Feel tip on."—A. E. KIDD.

"Wife" Includes a Second Wife In Life Policies. Probably few persons will dispute the proposition that in common parlance if a married man speaks of his wife he intends to refer to her who is his wife at that time, and does not contemplate her death and a second wife, whom he may subsequently marry. But suppose a married man effects a policy of insurance on his own life under the Married Women's Property Act, 18S2, "for the benefit of his wife and children," and after his then wife's death the assured marries again and has a second family. Will the second wife and her children be entitled upon the death of the husband to share in the policy money's? This was the question before Mr. Justice Kekewich in a case at the end of last week, and he held that the second wife and her children are entitled to share. The decision appears to be in accordance with good sense as well as law. As the learned judge observed in giving judgment, the presumption that when a married man speaks of his wife he intends his wife at the time loses weight when an instrument like a policy of insurance, which is intended to make provision for a wife and children after the husband's death, has to be construed. The husband in all probability intends to provide for those who survive him, and for that reason stand in need of the provision; and this conclusion is strengthened by the reflection that as he cannot reasonably be supposed to have intended to benefit only the children living at the date of the policy to the exclusion of after-born children of the then existing wife, there appears to be no good reason why the children by the second wife and the second wife herself should not also share. There is no reason why the trust in favor of the wife and children which the act of 18S2, mentioned above creates, should not include objects as yet unacertained. Upon these grounds it was held that by "wife and children" the husband intended his surviving wife (if any) and his surviving children, whether by his then living or any after-taken wife.—London Telegraph.

David Meckison is well known, not only in his own State, but throughout America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman, Catarrh, with its inidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: "I have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing."—David Meckison, Member of Congress. The season of catching cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and the nasal cough are to be heard on every day. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and direful of diseases, is a cold. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air passages, which indies nose, to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head, and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna, properly used, never fails to cure a con- ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR A WINCH REPEA ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR A FREE PE-RU-NA ALMANAC repeat. They don't jam, catch, or fall to extract.

While many people have been cured of catarrh by using a rinse, ruma, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Perma has cured cases innumerable of catarrh over years' standing. It is most if not the only remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

All Prerequisite. $49.00 and $10.00. Ancient and Modern Ideas on the Subject Time and Disease the Effacing Agents of Beauty. What Has Science Done to Restore the Lily and the Rose? Socrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus a delightful prejudice, Theophrasus a silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods, Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how beauty is to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defied. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfigurements and crimson the Roman nose with unisightly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony unspeakable. If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blister, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with polsonous elements to become a part of the system until death? It is vain to attempt to portray such suffering. Death in many cases might be considered a blessing. The blood and fluids seem to be impregnated with a fiery element which, when discharged through the pores upon the surface of the body, infumes and burns until, in his chants for relief, the patient tears the skin with his nails, and not until the blood flows does sufficient relief come to cause him to desist. Thus do complexonal defects merge into torturing disease, and plued vanity give place, to real suffering. A little wart on the nose or cheek grows to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of tetter on the palm of the hand or on the limbs suddenly envelops the body in its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg expands into' a graining ulcer, which reached out its fangs to the sufferer's heart in every paroxysm of pain, a small kernel in the neck multiplies into a dozen, which eat away the vitality, great pearl-like scales grow from little rash-like inflammations in such abundance as to pass credulity; and on so may we depict the sufferings to which poor human nature is subject, all of which involve great mental distress because of personal disgusts. If there were not another external disease known, eczema alone would be a sufficient infliction on mankind. It pervades all classes, and descends impartially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped in it, others have it confined to small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc., but everywhere its distinctive feature is a small watery blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, causing heat, inflammation, and intense itching. Ring-worm, tettler, scaled head, dandruff, belong to this scaly and liching order of diseases. Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on a reddened base, which blooms upon the removal of the scale, is to be dreaded and avoided, as of old. Impigio, barber's itch, erysipelas, and score of minor infections up in part of the skin of external diseases on the skin. Thus far we have made no allusion to those afflictions which are manifestly impurities of the blood, viz.: swelling of the glands of the throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs, tumors, abscesses, and mercurial poisons, with loss of hair, because the whole list can be comprehended in the one word sero fula. It is in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors and affections of the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Original in composition, scientifically compounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable in any climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most delicate and sensitive, they present to young and old the most successful curative of modern times. This will be conside ed strong language by those acquainted with the character and obstinacy of blood and skin humors but it is justified by innumerable successes where all the remedies and methods in vogue have failed to cure, and, in many cases, to relieve, even. The Cuticura treatment is at once agreeable, speedy, economical, and comprehensive.

PURITY to allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to cool and cleanse the blood. This treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the sewerest forms of eczema and other itching, burning, and scaly humors, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure of torturing, disgusting humors, eczemas, rashes, and inflammations, from infancy to age, when all other remedies and the best physicians fall. The remedies constituting the Cuticura system will repay an individual scrutiny of their remarkable properties. Culticura Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Culticura Ointment, the great skin cure and purest and sweetest of enollents, combined with the most delicate and refreshing of flower odors. It purifies and invigorates the pores of the skin, and imparts activity to the oil glands and tubes, thus furnishing an outlet for unwholesome matter, which if retained would cause pimples, blackheads, rashes, oily, motty skin, and other complexional disgustations, as well as ascalp infections and irritated falling hair and baby skin. It gentle and continuous on the natural lubricators of the skin keeps the latter softest, soft, flexible, and healthy. However, its constant use, assisted by an occasional use of Culticura Ointment, realizes the fairest complexion, the softest, whitest hands, and the most luxurious, glossy hair within the domain of the most advanced science knowledge to supply. Cuticle Ointment is the most successful external curative for torturing, disfiguring humors of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, in proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticle Soap, and followed in the severe cases by a full dose of Cuticle Resolvent, is sufficient to seldom innate relief in the most disgressing forms of fistling, burning, and scalp humors, permitting and sleep, and point, and pain, very cute when all other remedies fail. It is especially and children, cleaning, soothing, and healing the most distressing of infantile humors, and preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, and hair. Culurea Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet of all ages, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair, and hands far more effectually, agreeably, and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients, while free from every ingredient of a doubtful or dangerous character. Its "One Night Treatment of the Hairs," or "Single Treatment of the Hair," or use after athletics, cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Culurea Soap, is sufficient evidence for the purification of the blood and diluting fluids, none approaches, and is the most medical action necessary. It neutralizes and resolves away (hence its name) scrofulus, infertile, and other humors in the blood, which give rise to swellings of the glands, pain in the bones, and torturing, disgusting emuptions of the skin and scab, with loss of hair. Cautious Resolvent extends its purifying influence by means of the pores to the surface of the skin, allaying irritation, inflammation, itching, and burning, and soothing and healing. Hence its success in the treatment of distressing humors of the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, which fall to be permanently cured by external remedies alone. The grandest testimonial that can be offered Cutlera remedies is their world-wide sale, due to the personal recommendations of those who have used them. It is difficult to realize the mighty growth of the business done under this name. From a small beginning in the simplest form, against prejudice and opposition, against monied hosts, countless rivals, and trade indifference, Cutlera remedies have become the greatest curatives of their time, and, in fact, of all time, for nowhere in the history of medicine is to be found another approaching them in popularity and sale. In every clime and with every people they have met with the same reception. The confines of the earth are the only limits to their growth. They have conquered the world. To the test of popular judgment all things mundane must finally come. The civilized world has rendered its verdict in favor of Cutlera. $3.00 W·DOUGLAS $3.50 SHOES UNION MADE V. W. L.
