Dr. GRUM of Baltimore appointed to succeeded Dr. Grossland. Commeats from the Negro Press—Many words of praise to President Roosevele, for his actions toward the American Negro. THE VOLUMN IX When you help your Dr. GRUM or more ap to succ Comments from the Negro Press—M Roosevele, for his actions to It seems that each week there comes something good that President Roosevelt has done for our race, that it may look like flattery to write about him each week, but there has been two recent announcements that occurs to us does call fourth our strongest and best words of admiration and appreciation. namely, The appointment of Dr Crum to be Collector of Port at Charlestown, S, C. against the protestation of the white prejudiced people of that state, and for his firm stand by Mrs Cox in the Indianola, Miss. postoffice affair, and compelled those citizens to keep her or do without a postoffice. He would not yield to their prejudiced whims, he would not deviate, he would not stultify that true high regard for his duty and tee obligation that he assumed when he took the oath to be president of all the people of the United States of America. Those are the real men that our race should with one accord support, defend and protect, and even die for if need be. Eace generation has but few such men, yet those few brave men that dare to do right will shine out more resplendant each year, like Wendell Phillips, Chas. Summers, Wm. Lord Garrison, Oliyer P. Lovejoy, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. President, so long as you as you are president do your full, hones and loyal duty, and the true noble loyal people, both North and South will praise you. Let qualification, honesty, integrity, pure manhood be the test and not the color, race or creed.—Bystander. All of the howls that come up from the South about the appointment of Dr Crum, looks to a man up a tree like rot and demogouetry. The whites of the South nursed at the breast of a black mamma, work wrth him and for him, even light for him; yet when a nineteenths white Negro with an amhition inherited from them is appointed to an office cry out. "It is offense to the Southern white men" Where does the offense come in? The Negro cooks for them, nurses for them and drives for them with, instead of offense, the greatest of pleasure. There should come a time some day, woen the people who truly know and love the Negro would stop nonsense If a Negro is tc be appointed where shall it be? Where he is in power or where he has no power? Experience as shown that places here a rade is strong there it is re SEDALIA MISSOURI, JANUARY 24 1903 cognized by municipal, state and national government, where weak the contrary has been true. The Negroes oi this country beliave if President Roosevelt, the man who climbed San Jaun Hill with the famous Negro Cavalry in the face of the roar cannon and the hail of shot, was brave then he would be brave enough to stand by a Negro Collector of Customs in any northern state if the same conditions prevail as in Charleston. Trve nature spoke in Roosevelt, real nature npyn the plain did speak and he would not be toe man he is if it did not speak now—Spectator. PHILIPPINES FOR THE NEGROES Another heaven of rest (?) has been discovered for the American Negro and coincidently the settlement of the Negro question in America. The long-standing only solution of the Negro problem, namely, the settlement of Africa, has given way to new scheme introduced by old Senator Morgan of Alabama. Really, the amount of brain tissue expended by many of our leading men in devising scheme to dispose of the American Negro would speak well for them, if it were not utilized in propounding such erratic ideas. Senator Morgan has even gone far as to drnwthe attention of President Roosvelt to his proposed emigration of Negroes to the Phillippines with the result, it is said, that the President haa sent Thomas Portune as an envoy to investigate conditions there. The Negro seems to exist merely as a thorn in the flesh of American citizens. Bright futures have been presented for those of the race weo settle in Africa, the latest, however, is the Philippines. If the American Negro is wise he will remain in the land of his birth. If he acknowledges himself incapable of sustaining the oppression he receives here; when this country has been settled for him, what will be his fate when transported to a country in which the only object is the struggle for life $4 TO $8 A day guaranteed to every person send ing their name and address to Scott's Remedy Co. address to Scott's Remedy Co, P.

Many of the colored people of Sedalia attended the show on last Tuesday night know as the "Fatal wedding" but few of the ever thought of the head-end collision, of two of our very popular young men only a few days ago, which may be called a fatal engagement It came to past that one of these popular young men had been half engaged to a very pretty young TIMES. lady, and had purchased her some fine jewelry and other things in which to _____, but there seemed to have been a greater love in her heart for the other fellow, a trainporter, and at a suitable time she made it known to her first lover, that she loved another man. He then demanded the property he had give her, something like a ring a neckless and a fine wrap. No sooner had the third party been notified of the act, he hastily purchased her other jewels and wraps and he says, the one he purchased made the others look like rags. So we suppose that in a few days she may say, "I don't care if you never come back"—"You cant blame me for loving the railroad man" THE PRESIDENT Recieves Negroes as Guest COLONELS Are WRATHY White House Function Attended by Two Men and Three Women of African Decent. WASHINGTON, JAN. 23- Southern members of Congress received another shonk to their sensibilities at the White house reception last night, when they found among the president's guests five Negroes. They were Judson Lyons, register of the treasury, and Mrs Lyons, and John D. Dancy of North Carolina, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and two women members of his family. They appeared in the line early in the evening, and when they had greeted President and Mrs Roosevelt, proceeded to the east room, where they mingled with the other guests PROF. G. L.

TICKET. about in ee concerning the Citizens ticket for the election next spring of the four or five aldermen. During the past two years our city has been carefully and successfully managed, and have used such e- conemy that it is today in a better ffnancual state than it has been for years. The citizens has not been anoised by tie votes in the council by stubben contrary councilmen, mor has the taxpayers suffered and hardship to furtherth e advantage of anyone on account of his politi- cial following. as a whole the Tim- zs has only good words to say in regards to the work of our present council, so far as their work *s con- cern. Wedo not want to make anyone think that we are endors- ing a Citizen ticket as it was L1st year, we never did, and never will. But another election will soon be on, and some of them who will ‘be oandidates for re-election seems to think that their only hope to get back in their chairs is by such ticket as the one last year. A cit- izens tickes made up by the citi- zens would suit all the people, but a ticket made up bythe two com- mittees and a few bosses, and of- ceseekers, and for them to say to the thousands of voters ‘there is your ticker. you must vote it or not vote at all,” is to much for the the people of this free country. It is true that our city council should be composed of our best men, and it should compose of men who are not afraid to take his chance in a mass meeting or on a party ticket But they tell us that a “good” man don’t want to go among tne colored people and the common white people to get votes, and you will hearone say, if I run on a party I will have to buy up ail the niggers and poor white folks. If acouncilman buys his way into the council with his money, cigars, whiskey or groceries. he 1s not a fit subject for the place. and if he is above going among the poor peo ple for their votes, who by their taxes must help to pay his salary and the running expense of the city he should be above getting on aso-called citizen ticket. Ifa man wants an honest office given to him by the will of whole people, he will not go into a ring deal, nor will he spend one years salary in buying votes, but he will come before the whole people on some party ticket or in a mas meeting and make a clean honest campaign. $4,00 to $8,00 per day to any person sending their name and ad- dress to Scott’s Remedy Co.

What think ye, my brother, VASTORIA. “he the a ma 1L 4 A te Bee KIO Te haal a “THE FIVE CENT CIGAR. Averaze Life of, Popular Brands Said te 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 ar- tive at this general average of the five-cent cigar’s life. Many cigars of this class run through a longseries 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 Ihave 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 ofcigars 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 manufae- ture. The trouble is that man’s taste changes. He may get up feeling bad- ly, his stomach may be in bad-shape, and of course the cigar will not taste as it did when his system was in bet- ter condition. The cigar is blamed, and he simply dashes the thing into the street, and quits buying it. In- stances of this surt 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 thesmoker. But ‘recurring to the age of cigars, the av- erage to which I have referred has jbeen settled upon by tobacco men and is accepted throughout the coun- try. It is reached by taking the two extremes, the good and the bad five cent cigar, and ngaring 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 careful- ly, and with as much skill asthecigars that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mindsaying that many of them -are really far superior in materi- al, flavor and method of manufac- ture. So many of them, however, are of the cheap kind that the average is | lowered to five years, while the aver- ‘age life of the higher priced cigars | will run to a much higher figure.” TWO MOONS OF SALT.

Early Roman accounts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, including "the little beagle which may be carried in a man's glove." That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridiculed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MSSIOARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the American Authorities. Cuban cities, like Havana and Santiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow fever and smallpox have been practically stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps instituted a general system of housecleaning. Every house in the city was cleaned from top to bottom under the supervision of American officers, whether the tenant was of high or low degree; remonstrances availed nothing. As many as 16,000 houses were cleaned in one month. The sewer sys- SHOWN BY THE JEWELERS. Hatpins show large French brilliants set in balls.

Sterling silver vases come in beautiful designs, being tall and slender in shape to accommodate long-stemmed flowers. Among bug pins is a dragon fly with wings of emeralds and ruby eyes. Butterfly pins have wings set in emeralds, diamonds and rubies. One of the newest things in jewelry this fall is a thumb seal ring, coming direct from Home. The ring of either silver or gold is massive in appearance and the seal is large enough to be of practical use in sealing letters. It bears an engraved coat of arms or a curiously wrought monogram, plain letters not being considered good form. A silver walnut on the end of milady's long chain is more than an ornament. Some contain a tiny powder puff and powder, a small perfume bottle, besides a place for the pictured face of a sweetheart. Others are intended to hold small change—nickels and dimes—and have a sort of string to hold the coin secure, while others hold a thimble and a small emry.

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 to "fit" and Economy. Neighbor...Your little Dicky seems very unwell; his cough is quite distressing. Don't you think he ought to have medical advice? Mrs. Flyntskyn—Well, yes, I suppose he ought; but, you see, the winter's coming on, and some of the other children are almost sure to get a bad cold or something, and it'll be almost as cheap to have the doctor in for two or three as to call him in for only one.—Ally Sloper. Disinterested. The man who had dropped in to see him was smoking a cheap cigar. "I think you will find it more comfortable," said Uncle Allen Sparks, pleasantly, "if you'll sit over there by that open window.

From Infancy To Age MOTHER AND CHILD Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective treatment for children BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients, BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because it tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent catharkins that rack and tend their little bodies. DON'T IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fever is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. My baby is 4 months old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through peripheries if the were in a locust. When I said it was getting worse, I stopped pulling him into my mouth with a trussed with solenoid mind, and used to scream when he had a tachy fit. I did not know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a new dew of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he no longer pretty fair all night. He is a great deal better now. I gave him LAXAKOLA, and I think it would help nothing else to their sick babies. MRS. MARY DALEY, 991 First Street, South Boston, Mass.

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, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that other operation could help me, and even that only temporally, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then. 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. I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation. Examination and advice free.
