Among the good things he said, was that, I need not introduce myself to this conference nor any member therin, because you all know me, and you know me to be just what I am. He also said, I believe a man is a man no matter where he is, who he is, nor the color of his face, for there is but one standard of righteousness no matter where it is found, no money or color can make him better, because he must have a righteous heart and mind. "I believe that when a man becomes qualified to lead, let him lead, let him be Irish, Swede or Negro." After he had completed his address of which he received many cheers, the new members were introduced by the presiding elders and made welcome by a general hand-shaking Upon the absents of Rev J. A.

Johnson, of the Southern California eiocese, formerly of Detroit, gave the Protestant Episcopal congregation at Lompee, Shnta Bardara county, a surprise by appointing the Rev Geo S. Brown of Philadelphia rector. Bishop Johnson was as much surprised as the parishioners when Rev Brown arrived to do his work Rev Brown is a Negro, the congregation over which he was to preside is white. The way some people support Negro papers and other enterprises reminds us of the story brother "windy breeches." Owfng to he shortness of space, we will not, however, at this time relate the funny story about the funnniey individual. These people, suffice it to say, subscribe for a Negro paper with wind, pay for it with wind. If the average Negro paper coeld subsist on windy talk every Negro editor would live in brick houses, have a 2000 page paper, hire 5000 printers, use 100 presses, have 3001 domestic servants, and then hare plenty of wind and talk to spare, But, fate has so decreed, that it takus the same kind of "sponulix" to run a Negro paper that it takes to run a white paperi There may have been a time in the ancient or medeavel days when a Negro paper did not have to use the hard cash to run a paper, but, sad as it may be that time is not now. Whenever you hear a fellow talk so much about his race pridism, ask him if he is a subscriber to his home Negro or any other Negro paper, if so, has he paid his subscription, theron hangs the key. As a rule editors can buy more with one's cash subscriber than he can with a thousand windy subscribere. Tsis rule may vary—but we don't think Tsis rule may vary—but we don't think so.

It should be considered a high compliment to all political parties that the office of county school Superintendent is kept free from politics, Pettis county has a capable man in this office. His state certificate, and first grade county certificates from numerous counties together with his commission, and the efficient way in which he has managed the educational affairs of this county, show to us that the voters made no mistake in electing him two years ago, Mr Coleman served about three-fourths of a term by appointment. Clty superintendents are retained as long as their work is satisfactory. Why not give Mr Coleman another term The voters of the 1st and 2nd wards are against any mixed ticket next spring, they party tickets are socialist Scally may be a candidate for re-election next spring if there is a citizen ticket A M. Parks may ask for re-election next spring Mr Parks and Scally was elected on their party tickets two years ago, and we want know why they are afraid to try the this spring We are informed that F. W.

Sam Hodges says he dont care if ther isnt any citizen ticket next spring, it hurt his business last year If there is a citizen, ticket next spring, things will be very lively down in the 1st. and 2nd wards Fred Benz of Lamonte, who is a candidate for Superintendent of School is a deserving young man, and ask your support for this place There has never been republican in the office of Superintendent for 20 years JEFFERSON C A bill has been prepared and is to be introduced at an early date in the legislature, which if it becomes a law will prevent the employment of all white teachers and janitoss at Lincoln Institute and is also aimed the monopoly, certain merchants are said to have In furnishing supplies for the school. The chief feature of the proposed measure, however, is that it will require that all teachers and employees of the school shall be colored persons. Some of the Missouri statement have been humiliated at the spectacle of white men performing mental tasks about the school for colored people. The superintendent of the industrial department, John H. Bredemant: his assistance W. R. Menteer and four janitors are white. Some of the legislators has been out to visit the school since coming to the capitol, and while they have been pleased with its workings as shown in the nnw printed report just out, and with what they observed, the spectacle of the whites proforming such humble duties as the janitors are required to do for the Negroes rather gratified upon their bilities, and this without any reflection whatever upon the bright bounge people and the faculty. Representative of the sections where the confederacy was strong are especially axerse to the sort of thing which Mr Connor will attempt to remedy in this bill, But there is another provision which is, perhaps, more important. It is that there shall be not more than one member of the board of regents resident in Jefferson City.

DEP'T Fast St. Louis, ILL Short Talks On Advertising ByCharles Austin Bates. Advertising by circulars and such things undoubtedly is sometimes profitable. In the manufacturing or jobbing business this is more likely to be true than not. The retail merchant needs a quicker, surer, less expensive method, and he finds it in daily and weekly newspapers. There is no method of advertising which costs so much and so little at the same time. While the expenditure may have to be greater in the newspapers, the amount of publicity received is doubly as great in proportion to the price as that to be had in any other way. An exact example will do more to make this clear and to prove it true, A shoe dealer on Sixth Avenue, New York, wished to advertise his store. He purposed sending out a series of circulars, one each month, for nine months. There were 5,000 circulars sent each time, and the cost for the series of nine, including postage, was about $600. For this sum he reached 5,000 people nine times. For the same amount of money he could have placed a five-inch ad in the Sunday issue of a paper having a guaranteed, sworn circulation of over 1,000,000 copies every issue for 39 issues, covering the same period that the distribution of his circulars did. Contrast the 45,000 circulation he secured by the circulars with the 4,000,000 circulation he could have had in the paper, and you'll see at once how great a mistake he made. There is no question about the fact that he would have received ten times the benefit from the newspaper advertising that he did from the circular. It is the only logical conclusion. Sometimes circulars are good, but whenever you are contemplating issuing one sit down and figure up the possibilities—see how much space and how much circulation the cost of the circular would buy in your best newspaper. You will find in every case that reason and common sense will be in favor of using the paper. By doing so you will reach nineteenth of the very people to whom you would address circulars, and you will reach ten times as many other people to whom your circular would not have gone at all. Copyright, Charles Austin Bates, New York The two-pound rose-red of Rhodesia, 1890 issue, catalogues $30 in Sixtieth edition, is selling by London dealers at $1.50, and can be bought of the British South Africa company, in London, for face value—$9.74. A Melbourne paper announces that the £2 Victoria, long promised, has at last been issued. The stamp will not be used in appreciable quantities by the public, but it will, however, serve a useful purpose, when affixed to documents covering the issue of an equivalent number of circulars or papers, which will then only have to be branded: "Paid at Melbourne," instead of having stamps affixed to each one of them. While the descriptions of counterfeiters in the philatelic press have an admitted instructive value, yet it is known that they do not have so great an influence as is sometimes supposed. It seems that the average collector is not a stamp student who revels in the comparison of minute details—he does not take the time if he has it. He buys from reliable dealers and he feels safe in trusting to their knowledge. If at any time they are at fault and sell him a forgery, he knows that he will suffer no loss, but have his money or its equivalent refunded. The poor results attained in the printing of the new British stamps have led to the suggestion that the authorities in England make inquiries anew as to the relative merits and practicability of the two methods of stamp printing, surface and recess. Years ago, in England, the line engraving process was discarded in favor of typography, but the argument is now advanced that the successful application of steam printing to line-engraved plates (all the old British line-engraved stamps were hand-printed) has equalized the comparative cost of the process, and since the authorities seem to have given up the exclusive use of doubly fugitive colors—the washy purple and green—the arguments of the De La Rue, surface-printing, party have been sadly weakened. VARIOUS MATTERS. Georgia fruit growers are claiming that the peach crop of their state yields more money to the producers than does the cotton crop. The two American cities in which the number of colored inhabitants is increasing most largely are Washington and Philadelphia. The registration of voters, except such as become of age between August 1 and election day in November, is now complete in Alabama, and it foots up 165,500, of whom 188,000 are white. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has described the United States as a "gigantic furnace."

The kaiser of Germany is encouraging every effort toward the use of alcohol for lighting, fuel and power purposes, and under the stimulus of prizes offered to inventors and engine constructors it is being largely utilized in various ways. Alcohol is economically made from a number of products in Germany, and consequently the supply of it is very large. At a recent exhibition demonstrating the use of alcohol there were shown a number of motors, farming implements and similar things propelled by an alcohol flame. There were also lamps which displayed great efficiency. In a report recently made to Washington, Consul General Guenther writes from Frankfort that the chief of the fire department of Hanover has recently invented an alcohol firing apparatus, used in connection with an automobile fire engine, which is said to be very satisfactory in practice. The engine is driven to the scene of the fire by an alcohol motor, and while on the way the steam is gotten up by the new invention noted above so that the engine is ready for operation immediately on its arrival on the ground. Ordinarily it is necessary to keep the engine constantly fired in order that the steam supply may be immediately available. Otherwise much time is lost in getting up steam. BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. Diminutive Canines of Ancient Breed That Could Be Carried in a Glove. There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. 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 MISSIONARY. 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.

ANY HEAD NOISES? ALL CASES OF DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING ARE NOW CURABLE by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. Gentlemen: Being entirely curled 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, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. 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.
