The Negroes of Philadelphia have tied up in banks, trust companies and other white concerns over $2,000,000. Colored men own in the United States ago rated drug stores, with an investment of something over half a million dollars. Kisonville, Fla., Business pro Issional Men's League, with 523 members, has invested, not including real estate, $120,000. The Georgia Baptist Printing Co. in Augusta, Ga., pays $8,000 annually to its employees and does a business that averages $867 a month. Mrs. E. Lewis, now of Chicago, has been in the hair dressing business 26 years Within that time she has taught her trade to 50 persons and saved $25,000. Mrs. Josephine B Brece, widow of the late Senator Bruce, is said to be an expert in cotton production, and owns a big plantation near Josephine, Miss., a town named in honor of Mrs. Bruce. W H Smith of Wagoner, I. T., does the largest business of any colored man in the Indian Territory. He employs four regular clerks. His goods are bought in car lots. He is also a heavy cotton buyer. The Colored Agricultural and Mechanical Association of Lexingtou, Ky., organized in 1860, is a member of the National Trotting Association. This distinction is enjoyed by no other Negro association in America. Negroes in Virginia have invested in business $14,426,536; own $15,000,000 of property, which includes their personal property, is assessed at $17,442,227. The taxes paid amount to $422.870.60 per annum. T. A. Curry of South Mc Alister, I. T., is the only Negro railroad contractor in the Southwest, and probably in the United States. He works from 200 to 300 men, and operates his own commissaries, has his own clerks, secretaries, paymasters stenographers. Mound Bayou, a Negro town in Mississippi, has a town and rural population of 2,300. This village has several sawmills, four public schools, five churches, merchants, blacksmiths, photographers, drug gists, doctors, printers, brick dealers, land agents, log and timber contractors. Georgia's first bale of new crop cotton was brought into Atlanta July 21st by Deal L. Jackson, a prosperous Negro farmer in the western part of Dougherty county, who owns his own farm. The bale weigh-d a out 360 pounds and was classed as fully middling. At auction the bale brought 11 cents per pound: For three successive years Jackson has appeared in Atlanta with the first bale of new crop cotton—Ex. Hand Badly Hurt. Mr. John Hare, an employee at the M K & T shops, got his hand badly hurt Wednesday while at work. Mr. Hare says he was exceedingly lucky that he did not lose his life. His hand got caught in the belting and for a few minutes he was up about 10 feet from the floor pulling back on the belt until someone came to his rescue and cut the belt. His hand was at once dressed by the doctors and he is now under the care of the M K & T hospital. John Abbott has been seen but very little this week. Well, perhaps he is mediating over how it happened that he was left in Sedalia all alone and no one to care for him. Cascades. C. iv. L. 1978.

Almost every day brings new evidence that the North now is, socially about as unfriendly and hostile to the Negro as the South. The latest prominent instance that there is a strong prejudice against the black man on this side of the Mason and Dixon line, as well as on the other, comes from that great Methodist educational institution, Northwestern university at Evanston, Ill. The edict has gone forth from the Women's Educational association, which has control of the dormitories for women at the university that Negro women will no longer be admitted. While this does not exclude them from attending the university it will practically result in exclusion. No reason of any consequence was given for this discrimination save that of color. Once upon a time the North felt some-what differently about the race problem of the country. It had a sort of sense of especial responsibility for the unfortunate black people of the south that grew out of the civil war. The North had fought to set them free and it felt that it ought to fight to put them on a higher plane. There was in those earlier days much talk about the equality of the races before the law and before God; and so on. It sounded well and promised much. But that was all while the Negro stayed in the south. Since he came north views have changed a bit, and this Northwestern university incident is but one bit of evidence of that change. It is easy to dispose of another man's troubles. Northern philanthropists could theorize more admirably about methods of dealing with the Negro problem as long as the Negro staved in the south. The problem was at their very threshold and—it was different. A northern man who goes south to live usually comes back with different ideas about the race problem than before he saw it in its fullest extent. He is willing to admit that the south knows something about it, and perhaps it has suggestions that may be of value. It is to be hoped that ostracism of the Negro in the north will not grow to any harmful extent. However, the Negro's salvation depends upon himself, and he will riso in the social scale just as far as he can lift himself. He needs the opportunity for education, however, and it is the duty of the white man to provide him with this opportunity.—Council Bluffs Nonpareil. Miss Cora Bush Marries a St. Louisan. At 8 o'clock Monday evening the many young friends of Miss Cora Bush, a popular young lady of this city was quietly married to Mr. Wattis, a very prominent train porter whose home is in St. Louis. The ceremony was a quiet one, as only the family and the minister knew of the affair until Mr. oush and the bride and groom were seen on their way to the depot to take their departure.

Nov. 1, for the purpose of encouraging farming among the Negroes of Missouri and adjoining states, and putting them in touch with the Agricultural Department recentestablished at Lincoln Institute All farmers and friends of education are invited to be present. The following questions will be discussed; How many Negro farmers are there in Missouri? How many own their farms? How much land do they cultivate each year and what kind of homes have they? What is the outlook for the colored farmer in Missouri? What can we do to keep our boys and girls on the farm. Do we take the best daily and weekly and the best agricultural journals? How many days in the week do we work? How do we spend our time when the crops are laid by? How can the agricultural department of Lincoln institute and the colored farmers help each other? Please send your names to the president, B, F, Allen, if you expect to be present and tell what subject on the program you will be prepared to discuss. If you have some other good subject send it too. Efforts will be made to secure reduced rates an the railroads.

What Mean White Americans, It does seem hard for a young Afro-American youth, who is ambitious and eager to become a competitor with his white brother in sharing some of the blessings of life, for when we look at the recent actions that the many labor unions and other secret and political bodies have taken to suppress the colored laborer and prevent him from becoming a member of secret or political parties—simply because a man's skin is dark—he is ostracised. It is a shame, a snare, a gross injustice that he is thus treated. Why, last week the national association of stationary engineers, which met in Boston, voted to exclude colored engineers, notwithstanding the brave fight that Mr. Howard of Massa chusetts and Optenburg of Wisconsin, made for fair play and justice. Then in a certain southern state republican convention they excluded all colored delegates and would not admit them. And even last week in our city the Grand Sovereign Odd Fellows lodge, which held its annual session here amended the constitution so as to prevent [colored men admission—will saymo re abo ref It is indeed a shame that our country is coming to forget their duty of loyalty equality, justice and fraternity. Civilization cannot advance unless all are given equal chance and opportunity in the race of life—Bystander, Des Moines, Ia. CARD FROM PROF. WHITE. Tells How Free Text Books May Be Obtained. Prof. J. U. White, republican candidate for superintendent of schools, writing to the St. Louis Republic of Sept. 29, says: The Republic of this date contains an article entitled "How to Get Free Text Books." The correspondent says that I gave as the aggregate amount of all solvent notes, secured by mortgage or deeds of trust, the sum of $265, and pay taxes thereon. He also says that deeds of trust recorded in my name in Wayne county have an aggregate value of $3,744. I think the correspondent is mistakeu in both statements. My opinion is that, upon my statement of the actual value of the notes held by me, the assessor wrote about $600, being one-third of the actual amount, as is customary in Linn county I am also of the opinion that trust deeds recorded in Wayne county show me to be creditor in an amount considerably in excess of $3,744, but as partial payments have been made to me during severa years the actual amount due me is very much less than the face of the record suggests. Some of the notes which I once owned I have traded for other property. I stand and the republican party of this state stands for free text books. The tax to pay for them would be very slight. The wealth of the state, which is the greatest indirect beneficiary of general education among the masses would, as it should, pay for the books necessary to the education of the youth of the state. Even upon a farm worth $2,000 to $3,000 of an assessed value of $650 to $1,000, the tax for free books would only be 11 and 17 cents respectively. Under such a law the corporate wealth of this state would pay its proportion of the tax necessary to buy books for the children, and the tax is justifiable, because the intelligence and industry of the citizen is the best possible guarantee against crime and pauperism. I am very willing to pay my small mite to help the good cause: J. U. WHITE. NUMBER TWO THE FIVE CENT CIGAR. Average Life of Popular Brands Said to Be Five Years. "The average life of the nickel cigar is five years," said a prominent tobacco man to a writer for the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "and it is curious to note the differences which have enabled cigar men to arrive at this general average of the five-cent cigar's life. Many cigars of this class run through a long series of years. There are some brands now that have been running for more than a quarter of a century under the same name, and they are really the same cigars, made in the same way, having the same flavor and all that sort of thing. In this connection I have been impressed by the remark which we often hear about certain brands of cigars changing in quality. I heard a man say the other day that he had been smoking a certain brand of cigars for two years or longer, but that the cigar was getting so bad that he had concluded to quit buying it at all. 'It is nothing like the same cigar,' he said; 'the taste has changed, and it tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves.' Now he was altogether wrong about that. I know the cigar, know how it is made and all about it, and I know that no sort of change has been made in the process of manufacture. The trouble is that man's taste changes. He may get up feeling badly, his stomach may be in bad shape, and of course the cigar will not taste as it did when his system was in better condition. The cigar is blamed, and he simply dashes the thing into the street, and quits buying it. Instances of this sort are very common. Mind you I do not mean to say that some of the brands do not change. There are tricks in the cigar business, just as there are tricks in other trades. But in nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the smoker. But recurring to the age of cigars, the average to which I have referred has been settled upon by tobacco men and is accepted throughout the country. It is reached by taking the two extremes, the good and the bad five cent cigar, and figuring back to the middle. Some five cent cigars close with the first lot made. They are failures, having nothing in them to recommend them to the public. The material out of which they are made would not make decent 'three-fors,' the kind that are sold to the negroes on the river. The higher grades of five cent cigars are made as carefully, and with as much skill as the cigars that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mind saying that many of them are really far superior in material, flavor and method of manufacture. So many of them, however, are of the cheap kind that the average is lowered to five years, while the average life of the higher priced cigars will run to a much higher figure." TWO MOONS OF SALT. Some Interesting Statements Concerning Amount of Salt in the Sea. Roughly speaking, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, if you take the salt out of the sea water, you deprive it of a thirtieth of its weight. On that basis one-thirtieth of the entire weight of all the sea water in the world is salt, and, as salt and water bulk about the same, we may estimate, also, that, by bulk, one-thirtieth of the huge mass of the ocean is pure salt.

The editor and manager of this is more than thankful to the liberal hearted members of the A.M. E. Conference, for the helping hand extended to this paper. We must not forget that in less than six months the M. E, Conference will met in this city, and will bring with it a number of brained and intelligent Negro preachers and D D's too. If a young man says he is a good republihan and at the same time working for a democrat for a money consideration, he is a lair and the truth is not "there" be a or a mouse and the world will respect you more. Hon Peale has made some good speaches in our city this week, and we are under the opion that when the colored voters of this district will have did their duty on November 4th. the the seventh district will be ably represented in Congress by Mr Peale the man of the common people and the republican nominee. The colored voters can always find judge N. H. Rogers their friend, he has proven this fact from his past record as a Justice of the Peace. He has treated each and everyone of them with kindness and fairness in each and every case that has ever come before him. If you want an honest and a fair man in this office, one who is not afraid to do his duty at all times as a justice, then you will cast your votes him. He has served one successterm in this office, and is better acquainted with needs and the surrundings of the colored people, and can and will do more for them than any other candidate in the field. Vote for him and less --- help to return him by a big majority. The Swift Packing Co. of our city has opened up a new field for the colored women of our city. They are now employing all of them they can as chicken pickers. The chicken picking business is in the winter season, and is one of the best in the city. It is a blessing that the doors of the Swift Packing Co. in Sedalia have been opened so as to give the colored laboring woman a chance. TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF PETTIS COUNTY. Great pressure will be brought to bear by the state democratic election machinery to elect their representative from this county. They have sent out their agents to hustle up the Negro voters and purchase them if possible for this position, as it has been rumored on the streets. The question is now will the Negro allow himself to be hoodwinked by such machinery and persuaded to cast one vote against such a gentleman and statesman as J. H. Bothwell, who is acknowledged as one of the leading factors of the state. The Negroes of Sedalia and Pettis county never did and never will have a better friend in the house of representatives than Hon. J. H. Bothwell. While he was with the minority his influence ranked and balanced with those of the majority, for the people have always found in him a man. The Negroes of this county cannot afford to vote against him, for when they do they will have voted against their friend in Sedalia, in Pettis county, in the house of representatives, and a friend to them anywhere they meet him. What more can you expect or ask. So we ask you in the face of fairness and justice not to scratch out your friends for the sake of money influence today, for tomorrow you may need a friend's helping hand. Part of the Negro voters of St. Joseph have themselves up a ticket known as the Abe Lincoln Ticket, with M. O. Ricketts at the head of it for Senator, and part of the Kansas City Negro voters have made up a ticket known as the Negro ticket, with L. H. Jordan at the head for Congressman. This looks like another plan operated by the state democratic machinery to offset a lot of Negro republican voters all over the state and thereby enable them to carry their point because the machinery this year is weak among the white voters, and the only hope they have is to lead the so-called Negro leaders of our state under money or some other influence to put a Negro ticket in the field and get hundreds of Negroes to waste their votes in this manner and thereby allow the machinery to carry out their plans. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Ricketts both are smart enough men to know it is impossible for either of their tickets to be elected in these towns because there are not enough Negroes there to elect them, but they do know that if they do get the Negroes to vote their tickets that it will cut down the republican votes until the democrats can be elected and thereby receive their compensation. Do the reading part of our people in St. Joseph and Kansas City believe that these men who constitute these hatched up tickets are doing the right thing for their race as they have been talking and preaching for years. Will they be led to slaughter by them? We answer, No! They must look in to the matter, and when they have figured it up they will find that it BIG SPEAKING.

ANGBL FISH A FIGHTER. Beautiful Outwardly, But So Cantankerous That It Lived Alone. There died at the aquarium recently an angel fish that for years had had a tank all to itself. It differed from the other angel fish exhibited there also in the respect that it lived unusually long in captivity, says the New York Sun. One reason why the angels are hard to keep is their scrappiness among themselves. The fight and quarrel and wound one another with the sharp spines with which their gill covers are armed. This long-lived angel fish killed two or three tank mates, or so wounded them that they died of their injuries, and it continued to attack other angel fish put into the tank with it, until finally, and because of its great beauty, it was permitted to occupy a tank by itself. It was a vigorous, hardy fish, and the brightest-colored fish the aquarium has ever had; and all angel fish are beautiful. Some angel fish have yellow tails. This one had a blue tail with a yellow edge and the characteristic angel fish blue of its body was of the deepest and at the same time the most livid and brilliant blue. At times it seemed almost luminous; it was a wonderful and most beautiful blue. Fighter as it was among its kind, it was one of the tamest fish in the aquarium. It took food from the hand when it had been there two weeks, and was ready to take food in that manner always thereafter. On the last day that it was fed something so frightened the angel fish that it jumped out of the water and struck the wire screen over its tank with such violence as to inflict a serious cut in its head. It had been in perfect health and condition up to that time, but, susceptible as all fishes are to fright and shock, this was too much for it, and in the following two days it went through a familiar course. Sometimes it would rush about, and in this blind scurrying do itself some other injury, and sometimes it would go round and round in a small circle, for minutes or an hour at a time, only to fly off into tantrums again, and finally to die of exhaustion.

Evans Building, WASHINGTON, D. G. Short Talks On Advertising ByCharles Austin Bates. Farming is generally looked upon as a very simple occupation. A farmer is considered an independent individual, because his business is safe and pleasant. Probably the most enviable feature is its ```markdown ``` Advertising is just as safe, and a great deal more profitable, than farming, but there are people who fail at it. A farmer has first to look for a rich and fertile field—so has the advertiser. The field must then be cultivated and the seed planted—so must advertising be planted. "Rarming is generally looked upon as a very simple occupation." The farmer must take care of his crop, The farmer must take care of his crop, keep the weeds down, keep the ground properly fertilized and irrigated, and the advertiser must perform corresponding offices for his advertisements. FORECLOSURE FARM MORTGAGES If he plants an ad in a poor paper, where the soil is not good, he cannot expect to get much of a crop of returns. If he plants it in a good paper and allows it to run to seed he cannot expect very much. "Just the same, we hear of foreclosure of farm mortgages." If the farmer and the advertiser will both select good soil, put good seed into it, and take care of the sprouts, the harvest is sure to be satisfactory in both cases.

Commitment - Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, then gave me help, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.
