ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXI. No. 37. [Name] REV. R. H. BROWN. Little George Evans Brown was brought before the association to be blessed. Rev. Stevens stated that a beautiful service was about to take place. Mrs. R. H. Brown is sick and it is thought that she will not recover, and she wants her little one given in to the hands of the blessed Master. Rev. Stevens took the baby in his arms and said this: "Presenting of the little ones to the Saviour is dying out, but Sister Brown is leaning upon the Lord and wants her God to be the God of her babe." Prayer: "bless your name, we to you. We pray that a blessing to the Fa you will bless the d home so sick, and comforted in you I dear babe into your Guide him into your humbly ask for Chr Mrs. Godsey and R stood sponsors for B Brown, of 2710 North REFUSAL TO WAIT ON NEGRO STARTS RIOT. Two Hundred People Engage in Battle at Suburb of Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 22.—Two hundred people engaged in a desperate race riot late this evening at Luna park. As a result, a number of persons were injured. Charles Julius Miller, a Negro employed in the registry department of the Chicago post office, entered the Cafe Neapolitan with a Negro woman. Miller is here attending the national convention of the Colored Knights of Pythias. Waiters refused to serve him and Miller, when ordered out, became abusive. One of the waiters attempted to strike him with a chair, when Miller drew a revolver. A large number of shots were fired before the weapon could be taken from him. Friends of Miller ran to his assistance and a free-for-all fight started. A riot call was sent in, and about fifty persons were arrested. Miller, who was seriously injured, and several others, had to be sent to hospitals. I Told You So—Palladium.

We pray that you will bless the dear wife that is at home so sick, and that she may be comforted in you love. We place this dear babe into your care and keeping.

After a long illness and suffering, Mr. J. N. Clark passed into the great beyond last Sunday. He died in the full triumph of his Maker, believing that as his earthly home had dissolved, that he had a building of God in the Heaven of Hevens. We had the pleasure of visiting Mr. Clark during his illness, and we never saw a more resigned Christian in a man, as we saw in him. His faithful wife was a help in every need. He leaves wife and two children to mourn his loss. He was buried from St. Paul's chapel last Thursday. In the absence of Dr. D. W. Cook, Rev. Holland preached the funeral services. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved widow and children. In the absence of all that human can do we commend them to the care of the all wise God, who cares for all and their many wants. Aunt Betsy Ervin Brown. Aunt Betsy Irvin Brown, of Columbus, Ky., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Rosa Curtis, 707 North Fourteenth street, and son, H. C. Curtis.

Quoting from Lucas, we say life, when it is lived is not a condition of sorrow, sickness or poverty, but the highestst privilege each being can attain—happiness—Lucas. Dip with thy loving cup of giving and thou wilt more abundantly receive—Lucas. You, the present day—will know that I have truths that will be known while I live—not 100 years after my so-called death, that will lead into temptation any insane person in the future to pass the hat and place a stone and flower over a covered hole in the ground—Lucas. He will be in St. Louis soon. F. C. B., J. M. T. AND F. L. T. The right thing done at last. We used to hear the word saying stop paying rent and own your own home.

He is now at 1701 Morgan street, and is known to keep a first-class store, and orderly in every respect. We can only ask that they give him a chance to prove himself.

NEGRO DETECTIVE GETS IN TROUBLE NEGRO DETECTIVE GETS IN TROUBLE Andrew Gordon May Have to Face Charges as Result of Deserted Husband's Complaint. An affidavit was filed Thursday against Special Officer Andrew Gordon, the oldest, Negro member of Chief Desmond's staff, by Augustin Lazaro, of No. 821 North Ninth street. Lazaro charges that he reported to Gordon that his wife had run away with a man and asked Gordon to find her. He said Gordon requested $5. In a few days, he says, Gordon got $10 from him, and several days later returned and said he had followed Mrs. Lazaro and the man to Memphis and had shot the man. He obtained $10 more, according to the affidavit, and next demanded more money. This time, Lazaro charges, he gave $2 to Gordon. Chief Desmond has ordered Gordon to report to him Friday morning at 10 o'clock, and the officer will be confronted by Lazaro. Attorney Ambrose Riley is representing Lazaro—St. Louis Republican. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Be it known that the Berean Baptist association that just closed their twenty-fifth annual session this week did the right thing in sending Rev. R. H. Colo to preach at Antioch Baptist church at 11 a. m., Sunday the 20th. The doctor read the 40th chaper of Isaiah for the morning lesson and commented on almost every verse. His text was from the same chaper from the 29th through the 31 verses. The subject was the advantages of waiting on the Lord. The sermon was fine and all present enjoyed it most heartily. At 8 p. m. Rev. A. Dixon preached a grand sermon which was food for the soul. Antioch mission had a real good meeting Sunday the 20th. The attendance was small, but the interest manifested was very encouraging. The delegates that attended the Baptist Woman's convention last week made a splendid report. Mrs. Garrett, of 4239 Labadie avenue, has been, and is quite ill at this writing. Do not forget to go with us next Monday for a day's pleasure at Stallings, Ill. FOR SALE Nearly new furniture in eight rooms. Owner leaving city, must sell. 3136 Pine street. Opposite Colored K. P. hall. GREEK MEETS GREEK. Last Monday night was the supreme of the supremacy, when the two excursions were to leave the foot of Olive street, one on the City of Providence, the other on the Corwin H. Spencer, where the lines were strictly drawn. The adherents of each boat met the people at the foot of Olive street, and entreated them to go on either of the boats. This lasted for some time, then the band took a hand, and much noise was heard. The Corwin H. Spencer then came to the aid of the Madison club, while the band on the Providence played their music. The whistles of the Corwin H. Spencer could be heard above all. Since the music could not be heard the Providence whistle began, and for more than 40 minutes did this shrewd tactics continue. On the levee could be seen men and women pulling at each other persuading them to go on their choice, yet all was in good nature, and at last the Providence started down the river followed closely by the Corwin H. Spencer. Thus ended one of the most pleasant contests that we have ever witnessed, as we say that GREEK MET GREEK. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Manager Marshall has secured a game with the ball team of Company K, Ninth cavalry, for to-day, Saturday, at Handlan's park, Laclede and Grand avenues. Game called at 2:30 p. m. This is the initial game for the association team, and the boys no doubt will give a credible account of themselves. After the session of the Bible class last Sunday a testimony meeting was held. Several new names were pledged for membership. The executive and finance committees will meet Monday evening, August 28, 8:15. All men cordially invited to the Bible class, 4 p. m.

PRESIDENT IS STILL AT WORK Russia Apparently Inflexible on the Point of Allowing Japan Anything in the Shape of a "Frats de Guerre." Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 25,—The prospects of peace seem desperate, but they are not hopeless, despite the prevailing pessimism. There is still a chance, and the forces working for peace are continuing their labors. The president failed twice, but he is fighting on. The result of Ambassador Meyer's audience at Peterhof was unsatisfactory, but at least it was not a rebuff. It left the door open, and within a few hours after the receipt at Oyster Bay of Mr. Meyer's account of his audience the president had sent a new appeal through Mr. Witte, who received it from Mr. Pelrice about three o'clock Thursday morning. The emperor had already in effect declined the proposed compromise offered by Japan. He had refused it because, under a disguise, Japan offered to withdraw an article asking remuneration for the cost of the war on condition that Russia repurchase from the military possession of Japan the northern part of Sakhalin at a fixed price of 1,200,000,000 yen—the estimated "frais de guerre." Inflexible on that Point. Every message received from Peterhof, including those that came early Thursday, was inflexible upon that point. Had Japan not inserted the sum; had that been left for future adjustment, the proposition would undoubtedly have proved more palatable. The divergence in the compromise as suggested by the president, and as offered by Japan at the conference which was mentioned in these dispatches, touched this very point. The president did not suggest any price or the fixing of a price, and it is believed, although this can not be affirmed, that his latest effort was to secure the consent of the emperor to agree to accept the Japanese proposition with the amount subject to future adjustment by an arbitration board or otherwise. Offered to Divide Sakhalin. According to the Japanese, Mr. Wilte has already offered to divide Sakhalin. If the repurchase of Sakhalin was placed upon a purely business basis, the following few lines from the authorized statement of the Russian position should be borne in mind: "All that Japan does is to join the question of Sakhalin with that of a cash payment and to insist upon war costs under the name of purchase money. The transaction is fictitious and the terminology misleading. If what is proposed be in truth a purchase and sale, it should be treated as such, therefore, should Russia decline to buy the territory Japan should keep it and conclude peace on the basis of the concessions already stated." The Attitude of Japan. Japan, it is believed, would make the further concessions suggested if Emperor Nicholas would commit himself to this solution. This statement is based upon the works of the Japanese authority most competent to speak. When asked if it was correct, as reported, that the Japanese had said their last word and that all was over, he replied: "Now, we have not declared our position of Wednesday was our irreducible minimum. We are not assuming a threatening attitude. That is not the way to make peace." In the Hands of the Emperors. But the plenipotentiaries themselves no longer control on either side. The negotiations have passed from their hands to their principals at Peterhof and Tokio. Most persistently the report continues to be circulated here that Emperor William has been one of the main obstacles to peace, that while ostensibly in sympathy with the president's efforts, he is advising Emperor Nicholas not to yield. A Significant Point. It is significant that Mr. Witte made it a point to express his disbelief in the report from St. Petersburg, which caused considerable consternation here, that Count Lamsdorff had authorized Reuter's agent to declare that Russia, under no circumstances, would pay a contribution either direct or indirect or make a cession of territory whatever, Mr. Witte said he could not imagine that Count Lamsdorff could have authorized such a statement without informing him (Witte). To Succeed Congressman Marsh. Rock Island, Ill., Aug. 25.—James McKinney, of Aledo, was nominated for congress to succeed B. F. Marsh, deceased, by republicans of the Fourteenth Illinois district. Homeward Bound. Hamburg, Aug. 25.—Mrs. Charlaine magne Tower, wife of the American ambassador, was a passenger on the steamer Blucher, which sailed for New York. She was accompanied by her sons, Geoffrey and Roderick, and Mr. Tower's nephew, John M. Briscoe. Despondency and Suicide. Fordyce, Ark., Aug. 25.—J. S. Peterson, of Dallas county, member of the Arkansas legislature, despondent over ill health, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. Suggests That Nothing is to Be Gained By a Continuance of the War in the Far East. Mystic, Conn., Aug. 25.—The text of the document sent by the Universal Peace Union, in session here, to the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries, has been made public. It follows: "We are convinced: As regards Russia and Japan, that the sending of eminent and conscientious envoy thousands of miles from monarchial surroundings to our republic at great expense to formulate some plan to close the appaling war in the far east must not fall, inasmuch as nothing is to be gained by a continuance of the war, and as both belligerents desire peace. "If indemnity be in the way, call it recompense for caring for 100,000 prisoners and adjust the amount. Peace will soon reimburse; war never will. "If Sakhalin be in the way, give it as a peace offering to the inhabitants thereof and ask representation therein, and the trade there will be worth more than any conflict. "If limitation of naval power be in the way, refer to the czar's script and his recommendations, and then mutually agree upon limitations. "If intermed vessels be in the way, agree to release them if they will be turned into merchantmen and so paroled that they never will be used for war purposes. "If this will not accomplish the desired result, submit the points at variance to The Hague tribunal, the creation itself of Russia, and the result will be her victory of peace with honor and dignity." KING WILL BE A BERNADOTTE King Oscar of Sweden No Longer Opposes Acceptance of Throne of Norway by His Son. Stockholm, Aug. 25.—According to good authority the following in government circles regarding the accession PRINCE CARL. (Son of King Oscar Who May Assume Throne of Norway.) by a Bernadotte prince to the Norwegian throne has undergone a complete change. King Oscar no longer opposes the acceptance of the crown by his son Carl. As soon as the union between Norway and Sweden is dissolved his answer will be given, and it probably will be affirmative. THE CHICAGO POLICE AT SEA With the Release of the Negro Brancey They Have No Clew to the Murderer of Mrs. Mize. Chicago, Aug. 25.—The murder of Mrs. E. F. Mize is still unsolved by the police, and all former clews, including that centering around William Bracey, the negro who was arrested on suspicion, have been abandoned. Bracey was released after he had satisfactorily explained his whereabouts on the night of the murder. No additional arrests have been made, and the police are without evidence that may lead to any. CHOLERA APPEARS IN MANILA Two Soldiers Dead at Camp McKinley and Several Deaths in the City. Manila, Aug. 25.—An outbreak of cholera in Manila has been reported. It is thought that it is due to green vegetables from Hong Kong. Two soldiers have died at Camp McKinley, which is quarantined. In the city several natives and one American woman have died. The surgeons of the board of health state that the outbreak is not serious. WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING A Ship Laden With Case Oil and Naptha Destroyed in New York Harbor. New York, Aug. 25.—Struck by lightning during a terrific storm which swept over Staten Island and the lower part of the upper bay at midnight, the ship Mulberry Hill, laden with case oil and naptha, lying in the stream midway between Tompkinsville and Stapleton, was burning early this morning, lighting up the bay from the Battery to Sandy Hook. The crew of 24 men escaped. Iowan Asleep Over Seven Weeks. Marshallown, Ia., Aug. 25.—For over seven weeks W. F. Burkes, aged 32, of Mason City, has been asleep, not awakening at any time to recognize any of the friends about him. Although he appears to be in health and sleeping a natural sleep, he is slowly approaching what seems almost certain death. Found Dead at Foot of Stairs. St. Louis, Aug. 25.—Lawrence Walsh, 54, was found dead at foot of stairway. A son says his father had a stroke of apoplexy and fell down stairs. Walsh's wife died a few weeks ago. for CHAUTAUQUA PARK, stopping at ALTON, ILL. This will be the grandest excursion, and also the last one of the season. For those who enjoy an outing on the river, you certainly should be with us on this occasion. If you can not go on the day excursion, we give you a grand award.

(2) Never has missed an issue. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. To The Public. Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any person firm or corporation, which may appear in the colums of The Palladium will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of the management. All articles sent to this office for publication, must have the writer's signature or otherwise such articles will be ignored. We are not responsible for the return of unsolicited contributions on any subject. Churches and others having news or notices will please have the same in the office by Wednesday to insure publication in the week's issue. Five cents per line for each insertion. Seven cents per line for each insertion, black face. It occasionally happens that papers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. Some jack-legged preacher preached a so-called business sermon, and in his remarks, he mentioned indirectly a Negro weekly journal. Next week we will pay our respects to that gentleman. The moral is this: Clean our your own house, then see others. J. W. WHEELER, Manager. Everybody secure a copy of the St. Louis Palladium, August 26, 1905, and read the speech of Wm. L. Smith, which contains proof that no progress has been made by the Negro as a race, in the past 40 years in country. WM. L. SMITH. The compulsory attendance law, which will go into effect September 5, compels all parents and guardians of children to send them to school, under the penalty of a fine from $10 to $50 or to imprisonment in the city jail. There are 150 Colored men on the police force in Chicago. The new city directory putsthe population of Chicago at 2,600,000, and the Colored population now in Chicago, 72,000. The Big Four (Baltimore & Ohio route) is the railroad that is envised by all the railroads that come in contact with it. The officers are by nature cut out for railroad men. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. Be careful how you praise a public man until you are sure he is dead.—Life. M. B. H. Notice! Notice!! We have stated time and again that we can not publish a paper on wind. Advertising on the first page will be Harry Denny and Sonny Mack. The excursion given on last Saturday by the T. C.'s, or the two kings of record-breakers, Harry Denny and Sonny Mack, was a success. Over 1,735 persons were on the boat, and the trip was a pleasant one. Only a few disturbances occurred on the boat. Everyone enjoyed themselves to their heart's content. It was the longest boat outing there ever was. The boat landed about 2:30, and all were well pleased. Harry Denny and Sonny Mack still hold the record. It was thought that the K. of P.'s had them bested, as they had on board 1,600 persons, but the two champions would not be contented until the 1,735 mark was reached. So to-day they have the record of the largest crowd in the following places: Bozemcke's Grove, 3,000; at the Masonic Temple they were requested to sell no more tickets, and on the Corwin Spencer and all other places they stand shoulder and head above all. They have the laurels, so who will contest for the supremacy and take the lead from Harry Denny and Sonny Mack. A Grand Excursion. The Great Western club fully redeemed its promise, Monday night, on the steamer, City of Providence, when it carried out what is generally conceded to be one of the most enjoyable excursions of the season. The delightful river breezes, the excellent music and the admirable decorum of all present combined to make the occasion one long to be remembered. The Great Western club deserves much credit for its efforts to elevate the tone of our public assemblages. The officers of the club are: Floyd Ross, president; A. C. Cash, vice-president; John B. Vashon, secretary; Wm. D. Flowers, treasurer, and Jas. W. Grant, general manager. [Name] See me! See me to-day. This means you, and try Dr. Cooper's new discovery, the great system purifier, worm and germ destroyer; for it is startling the world by its marvelous cures. It has successively reached more complaints than any remedy. With this discovery, and his quick relief liniment if you can be cured while on earth you stay. I feel that these remedies will bring it, for it is making the sick well and well strong, the lame walk and the deaf hear. I have testimonials for all I've said at 925 North Jefferson avenue. H. H. GREENE, Agent. Another New Paper. Another newspaper called the Chicago leader, first volume, 13th. issue. It sides with the Methodist church. We trust it will stand—but it has a very few adds to keep it in the field. But the more come in make the band go sweeter still. double the cost of advertising on any other page, so do not ask me. Please read and then take notice and see the editress. I am out of that part of the business. A Visit to the Country. Miss Marie Kelly entertained a number of her girl friends with a dinner at her home in Kinloch, last Wednesday. The party reached Kinloch about 10:30 a. m., and the time was spent very pleasantly until time for dinner. Games of all kinds were indulged in on the grassy lawn, "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree."

He said: "Most Worthy Grand Master and Members—Being the oldest member of this order in membership, I wish to say I have at all times been loyal to the Grand Lodge and courteous to the members. I did come to ask that this Grand Lodge make The Palladium the official organ of the order, and I know it is the will and sentiment of this Grand Lodge to indorse The Palladium as such, but after I heard the reading of the board of managers' repot, and heard what they paid "Petticoat" Logan last year I said I could not take it for that paltry sum. I thang this Grand Lodge—but rest assured that I am loyal, and if one man or woman makes a threat at the Grand Lodge or its members, The Palladium stands ready to defend the order with its pen." Our words and actions were highly indorsed by the Grand Lodge. Now let the others have a say as to what was done. J. W. WHEELER, Manager of Palladium.

THE PALLADIUM IS FIRST-THE OTHERS FOLLOW. NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D. C..... 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each..... 8 California, Ohio, Jersey and New York each have 3 ..... 12 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3 ..... 12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mont- tana, Utah, West Virginia, Wis- consin, Indian Territory have one each ..... 7 Territory have on each ..... 7 Published in the south ..... 101 Published in the west ..... 44 Published in the east ..... 26 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. THE PALLADIUM REACHES MORE HOMES THAN ALL OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE WEST AND IS UP TO DATE ON ALL MATTERS OF INTEREST. For Sale. We keep on hand several wonderful remedies.

SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in order to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the "open winter" farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice Bceville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of other things you wish to do, just take advantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this inconvenience is to take advantage of whatever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive during the summer, but what is most unusual also during the winter. A man doesn't have to "lay by" for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San Antonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this special offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land in Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. Don't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. ROOMS FOR RENT Large furnished rooms for rent. 2704 Lucas avenue. Neatly furnished rooms for rent for light housekeeping.

This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.

She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines and had a lot of money in medicine. I had female trouble and would daily have fainting spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take care of my health. I had I and I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you I would have been in my grave to-day." Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for restoring women's health. FOR SALE COMPLETE STEAM PLANT Now in operation in basement at No. 118 Jefferson street, Memphis, Tennessee.

LEWIS'SINGLE BINDER STRAIGHT 5 CIGAR ANNUAL 7,000,000 ForYoung People A MARINE TELESCOPE. Device Which Any Boy Can Make and Which Will Help Him to See Below Water. There are many uses. to which a marine telescope may be put when you are afloat, and it is especially useful in ascertaining the state of the water and its depth in fishing—not to mention the wonderful things you are likely to discover below the surface. The materials required are very simple, consisting of a few feet of thin board, a small oblong piece of glass, some wire nails, and a piece of sealing wax. The glass may be three by four inches or larger. Saw from quarter-inch boards four pieces of the same length. 20 inches. BOX. GLASS END SHOWING CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF TELESCOPE. two each of widths to correspond with dimensions of the glass (Fig. 1). Nail these together into the box shown open at both ends. Lay the piece of glass over one end and fasten securely in place with pins driven into the wood and twisted over (Fig. 2). Large headed tacks may be used instead, if desired, the tacks being driven in the wood and their neads overlapping the glass edges, thus nolding the glass in place. Then make the glass end water tight by closing up all seams with the sealing wax. When in use, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the glass end is placed in the water while you look down through the open end. The light is thus shut out from all parts except that which must come through the glass end, an inch or two under water. The water telescope is long enough for you to sit comfortably in the boat and still watch the world under water at the same time. LOST THEIR LUCK.

Keep a dish of fresh water where your dog can get at it at night or by day. Dogs need to drink often, says Our Fourfooted Friends, and many of the diseases of dogs are caused by the need of fresh water. If you keep your dog in a kennel see that it is raised at least six inches from the ground. A damp kennel causes rheumatism. When a dog is getting old and infirm do not allow him out on the street alone. An old dog, lost and bewildered, is a pitiful sight. Do not keep a dog chained; it will make him stupid, sullen or vicious, and is a cruelty to such an active animal. House dogs should be exercised twice a day. Do not let your dog follow your bicycle or automobile, unless you wish him to have fits or drop with exhaustion and heat.—Detroit Free Press. , 210p. KATRINA'S SURPRISE. How She and Her Mother Had a Good Time Though They Didn't Go to the Picnic. "We can't go to the picnic, Rosy," said Katrina ruefully to her doll. "Sister Nell won't take us, 'cause she said she didn't want to be bothered with kids. Sister Nell's got a bo. A 'bo' is a young man with kid gloves on, an' he takes her to ride in a buggy, an' you wear your best hat with the roses on, an' your stiff-newest muslin dress. "When he comes to call you set in the front parlor, an' those nights you don't have to wash the dishes; an' you hurry upstairs the minute you've' e't your jam and cake, so'st you'll have time to curl your hair 'fore he gets here. "I like it, Rosy, when Sister Nell has a bo, 'cause mother lets me scrape the jam dish, an' I have a little pan of soapsuds an' wash the butter dishes, so't it I won't be running in the parlor an' botherin'. That's 'cause Sister Nell, she said: 'Mother, I wish you'd keep Katrina out of the parlor when Jack calls. She hears everything, an' next day I hear her sayh' 'em over to her old doll." "I do tell you, Rosy, 'cause you're my best friend, next to mother, an' you understand me awful well. "Jack used to be a very nice bo, an' he used to take me in his buggy an' let me hold the reins while he was waiting for Sister Nell to find her coral pin. Last year he brought me some real firecrackers on the Fourth; but they're 'gaged now, an' I guess he's forgotten about me. I fought he was goin' to take me to the picnic, an' mother she said she would ask him to leave me with Mrs. Pratt; but sister Nell she put her foot right down on me, an' so I got to stay home. "You see, mother is jellyin' currants and things, an' they didn't jell or somethin', an' she's gotter do 'em over, so she can't take me, an' I'h fearful disp'inted." Katrina rose dejectedly from the front porch, tucked Rosy under her arm, and went around to the kitchen, where mother was dipping the clear red liquid into the tumblers. "Mother, did you have a bo to take you to picnics?" "Yes, Katrina, your dear father used to take me." "Like Jack does Nell. "Just the same, dearie." Mother sighed. "We must try to make each other happy, little girl." "All right mother. What could I "All right, mother. What could I do to make you happy?" "I'll tell you, Katrina. Let's think of a surprise for each other to celebrate the day." "I don't know can I s'prise you, mother. You know ever'thing." "Well, you try. Now, run away, and don't come till I call you to lunch." Katrina trotted off, wondering what she could do to "s'prise" mother. SHE WAS A FUNNY PICTURE. Soon after her merry laugh came rippling out of the garret window. Then all was quiet for half an hour, when mother called: "Katrina! Lunch." When Katrina came she uttered a long "O!" for mother had the lunch spread on the grass under the apple tree. And mother said the same kind of an "O!" when she saw Katrina; for she had dressed herself in a quaint old blue silk that she found in great grandmother's deerskin trunk. With a wreath of red paper roses on her head she was a funny little picture as she came trailing down the steps, holding up her skirts with both hands. "I'm Mrs. Liberty, mother!" she cried in glee. "An' that isn't all of the s'prise. They's more in a bag in my lap." "This isn't all of my surprise, either," said mother. "There's a second course." The tablecloth was mother's prettiest, and there were tiny biscuits and warm maple sirup. There were sandwiches with ham in them, and cookies and Katrina ate and ate. Then mother went for the second course. Katrina said a bigger "O!" than ever when she saw it. "Currant tarts! O, mother! I just love 'em." "Now what's your other surprise, little girl?" "Fireworks!" said Katrina; and she opened the bag and showed a heap of old dried chestnuts. Firecrackers and torpedoes never popped so merrily as did the chestnuts when laid on a shovelful of red coals. Katrina said, as she set the last one on the shovel: "It's better than a real picnic, mother, an' I'd rather have you than 40 bo's."—Boston Globe. Light for Thirsty Travelers.

These directions will serve for a petitcoat of any size, and any kind of wool may be used. If worked in petticoat wool, about one pound would be required for a full-sized garment. As, with the exception of the frill, it is worked lengthwise, it will not be likely to drop, as is so often the case with crocheted or knitted petitcoats. Two hooks will be needed—one long wooden one about the thickness of a No. 8 knitting needle, and a short, bone one of about the same size. Work a chain the length required from the waist to the lower edge of 46. HAND-MADE SKIRT. the petticoat, allowing about three inches for the frill, which is worked after the tricot part is finished. First row: Plain tricot. Second row: Two chain, which will count as the first stitch of the row, * draw up a loop through the horizontal thread at the back of the next stitch, draw the wool through the loop just made (chain-stitch), keep the loop on the hook, and repeat from * to the top of the row; wool over and return, drawing through two loops at a time, in the usual manner. Keep repeating this second row until the work is of the required width, join the two edges together with single crochet, leaving a few inches unworked at the top for the placket hole. For the Frill-First row: Work a double crochet under the end-stitch of the first row (under both threads), *, six trebles with one chain between each, under the end stitch of the next row (both threads), a double crochet under the next row, and repeat from * all round. Second row: A double crochet under the middle stitch of the first group of trebles. *, six trebles with a chain between each under the double crochet between the groups, a double crochet under the middle of the next group, and repeat from * all round. This row to be repeated as many times as may be required for the depth of frill desired. Last row: A double crochet under the middle stitch of nearest group of trebles, a treble into the next double crochet, *, three chain, pass the hook through the back thread of the first chain, and draw the wool through both loops at once, thus forming a small loop or picot, another treble into the same place as the last one, repeat from * until there are seven trebles with a picot between each in the group, a double crochet on the next group, and repeat all round. For the top—Work a row of double crochets along the top and round the opening. Second row: A treble on each double crochet, except for about six inches in the middle, across the front, which should be double crochets. Third row: Work round the opening and along the top with single crochet—that is, pass the hook through both threads of the stitch, and draw the wool through that and the loop on the hook at the same time; this will make a nice, firm finish. Stitch a piece of ribbon inside the double crochets across the front, leaving enough at each end to thread through the trebles and form strings. Falling Hair. For falling hair you will find the following tonic very beneficial: One dram of tincture of benzoin, one dram of fluid extract of jaborandi, four ounces of alcohol, two grains of mercuric chloride and water sufficient to make ten ounces. Perfume as desired. Apply this twice a day and shampoo the hair every week. If possible, electric treatments should be taken, as they are very beneficial in stimulating the scalp and thus restoring the tone. Princesse Slips Princesses slips of soft silk can now be obtained ready-made, which is a great boon to those who like to wear different colored linings under their summer muslins. They are well made, and can be altered to any figure with very little trouble. For Wash Waists. When making wash waists no hooks and eyes is the motto. Buttons whenever possible, for under many circumstances they are far preferable to hooks. In the dressy waists buttons and buttonholes can be hid under a fold. PROPER GIFTS FOR GIRLS. An attractive addition to almost any girl's dressing table would be one of the new hat pin holders, for in these days of inexpensive, yet variegated, collections of hat pins, a receptacle intended especially for them is most acceptable. These holders are made of silver and look like tiny vases, some being dull, others of bright silver, in very attractive designs, and they can be bought for from two to four dollars. Another article for strictly feminine use that is rather a novelty is the vanity bag; this is in reality a shopping bag of very good quality leather, which has snugly tucked away a mirror that is large enough to see one's whole face in, instead of necessitating a study of the countenance in sections, as is the case with most mirrors that are intended to be carried about with one; another compartment of this vanity bag contains a powder puff, with a place for powder, and there is also space for small toilet articles. Then there are belts of all sorts and descriptions, and for an a well dressed girl a belt is always an appropriate gift. The newer patterns in silver have the buckle, the piece at the center of the back and the slides at the sides connected by tiny silver chains which are very effective when the belt proper is of some delicate shade of soft ribbon. In this same style a daisy pattern was particularly noticeable and unusually pretty; over the foundation belt there was a row of silver daisies about one inch in diameter, and an inch and one half apart, and these, too, were connected by the little chains. In addition to these novelties there are many beautiful designs in buckles only, which no doubt appeal to some girls rather than the newer fussier fads, to say nothing of handsome belts of leather with buckles of brass or enamel. Almost every girl is the owner of a writing desk, and she would naturally welcome some one of the dainty desk furnishings that are to be had at a very small cost. Small candlesticks in plain or embossed silver for use on a desk, inkstands in some ornamental metal, and penholders of a substantial design in silver are always acceptable, and in leather goods there are desk pads and dainty little clocks in leather cases. And in this connection a most useful present would be writing paper. Find out the quality and make of writing paper that the girl prefers and give her not a little old 24-sheet box, but a good supply that will fill up the spaces in her desk and make it look business-like, so that she will have all the material at hand for writing her notes of thanks. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Dull eyes with hanging lids are often induced by apathy and indifference. Dr. Mossa, a French physician, affirmed the good results of administering potatoes in certain forms of diabete. He states that he has effected cures by this means. The best and healthiest trade in the world is that of dyemaking from coal tar. Tar and the smell of it is the best of all tonics and tissue builders. The average life of a tar worker is 86 years. The mortality is 80 per cent lower than in any other factory trade. If you want to be young, don't allow yourself to think on your birthday that you are a year older and so much nearer the end. Never look on the dark side; take sunny views of everything; a sunny thought drives away the shadows. Be a child; live simply and naturally and keep clear of entangling alliances and complications of all kinds. It's a strain on the hair to be curled and coiffed in devious ways all winter and many fashionable young women are giving their locks a rest just now by dressing them very simply, minus the Marcel wave and various other additions to beauty. One girl discovered that she was ruining her hair by too frequent treatments and curlings and the result is that among her friends visits to the hairdresser have grown less frequent, for whatever else the summer girl can afford to lose she can't afford to lose one strand of her hair. It is highly important that grime accumulated in the day should be removed before lying down. Neglect of this rule will cause shallowness and blackheads. The face should be washed with hot water and soap, be rinsed in many waters and be dried thoroughly. Next, a really good skin food, quite free from wax, spermaceti and salted lard and containing little or no glycerin, may be applied. If a liquid, it should be brushed over the parts. If more solid it should be gently spread. Any massage below the eyes, or at the eye corners, is sure to make wrinkles. A brush has a marvelous effect on the softer skin lines. For Rough Hands For hands that are rough and sensitive from being too much in water, this lotion will be found very delightful. Two ounces of listerine and two ounces of glycerin. The surface will soon become smoother and less sensitive. The lotion combines nicely with cosmetic jelly, formula of which is: Seven ounces of rose water, 30 grains of gum tragacanth, one ounce of alcohol, one ounce of glycerin. Soak the tragacanth in the rose water for three days, strain forcibly through muslin, adding glycerin and alcohol. A half-teaspoonful of pure borax is an improvement. Any perfume may be added. To Whiten the Neck A cut lemon, dipped in toilet borax and rubbed over the throat and neck, is highly esteemed for whitening the skin and is, of course, one of the simplest and cheapest of cosmetics. The skin should be bathed afterwards with a sponge and warm water. LOST 72 POUNDS. Was Fast Drifting Into the Fatal Stages of Kidney Sickness. Dr. Melvin M. Page, Page Optical Co. Erie, Pa., writes: "Taking too many iced drinks in New York in 1885 sent me home with a terrible attack of kid- ney trouble.

The war department is working on a new method of protecting gun emplacements as a substitute for masonry and concrete. An experimental emplacement is being erected at Fort Washington with a protective shield of worn-out railroad rails.

A test will soon be made on the efficiency of this type of protection against heavy projectiles.-Scientific American. Steam Power in England.

WRONG SORT. for a Time. A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Welden, Ill., says: "Last Spring I became bed-fast with severe stomach trouble accompanied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all, although I tried every kind. I had become completely discouraged, had given up all hope and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day my husband trying to find something I could retain brought home some Grane-Nuts. "To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and without distress. I began to gain strength at once, my flesh (which had been flabby) grew firmer, my health improved in every way and every day, and in a very few weeks I gained 20 pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts so well that for 4 months I ate no other food, and always felt as well satisfied after eating as if I had sat down to a fine banquet. "I had no return of the miserable sick stomach nor of the headaches, that I used to have when I ate other food. I am now a well woman, doing all my own work again, and feel that life is worth living. "Grape-Nuts food has been a godsend to my family; it surely saved my life and my two little boys have thriven on it wonderfully." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mieh.

V. I. "Then: " When the Chaldean army had for a time withdrawn from the city of Jerusalem, the prophet Jeremiah seized the opportunity to leave the city on some business connected with his patrimonial estate. He was, however, arrested as a deserter, and brought back and imprisoned. But he was allowed the privilege of the courtyard, and there, to all who would listen, he continued delivering his messages of warning. This aroused the princes here named, who evidently were officers holding positions near the king. "Had spoken:" Spake, or had been in the habit of speaking. V. 2. "Thus saith the Lord:" When the princes tried to silence Jeremiah, they were shutting their ears, and the ears of the people, to God's kindly warning. "He that remaineth... . shall die!" Some perished by the sword of the enemy, others from lack of food, and still others from diseases caused by the hard conditions of their life. "That goeth forth:" Not as a traitor, but in honorable surrender. V. 4. "Let this man be put to death." Princes desired the death of Jeremiah, because that they could silence him in no other way. "Weakeneth the hands;" etc. From one point of view the princes had a good case against courageing the warriors, for he made them feel that they were the prophet. His words undoubtedly had the effect of disasting their energy in the losing cause. "That remain in this city:... Already some had followed Jeremiah's advice and escaped to the Chaldeans (See v. 19). V. 5. "Zedekiah the king said," etc. This was a most unkind speech, showing that the man, whom one calls "a phantom king," was a mere puppet in the hands of his couriers. Like Pilate, of a later day, he could not find courage to do what he know to be just and right. V. 6. "Cast him into the dungeon;" They were too superstitious to kill him. Cowardice and cruelty were combined in their casting him into the dungeon, to perish from its foul gases or die by slow starvation. The dungeon was probably a cistern, quite similar to the one into which Joseph was cast by his brothers. See Gen. 37:24). Many a house in Jerusalem had a subterranean cistern in which water was collected. The one here alluded to was in charge of one "Malchian," and being in the court of the prison, had quite probably been used before as a dungeon for receiving prisoners. "No water, but mire:" The water in this cistern had dried out, leaving a great collection of mud at its bottom. Ps. 69 reads as if it might have been written by Jeremiah of this occasion. V. 7. "Ehed-melech the Ethiopian:" The negro eunuch, probably was the keeper of the king's harem. V. 8. "Went forth out of the king's house." Left apartments of the women over which he had charge. His manner of speaking to the king indicates that the eunuch went in great haste. He was indeed running to save the prophet's life, for if he were not rescued speedily, he must perish. V. 9. "These men have done evil." The princes had acted unjustly in persecuting the truest patriot in the city; they had acted cruelly and cowardly, as is shown above. "Like to die for hunger." The prophet would soon perish for lack of food, for no one had been directed to feed him. V. 10. The king is as easily enlisted in the effort to save Jeremiah as he had been in the effort to get rid of him. He was wont during all this time to counsel privately with Jeremiah. V. 11. "House of the king under the treasury." The eunuch knew of a certain room in the palace, under the store-chamber, where old clothes and possibly other discarded things were thrown. V. 12.—"But now . . . under thine armholes." But for this wise provision the ropes under Jeremiah's arms would have surely hurt and probably would have injured him. V. 13. "Remained in the court of the prison." Just where he had been before the new persecution by the princes. Here, the prophet was given daily rations such as were furnished the soldiers (chapter 37:21). Practical Points V. 1. He who would be spokesman for God will often have messages to deliver which are not pleasant for wicked men to hear.—Ezek. 3:11. V. 3. It is kind, not cruel, to plainly warn people of coming disaster, that perchance they may flee therefrom.—Ezek. 3:17. V. 4. Silencing the alarm bell does not put out the fire, but leaves more victims for the flames.—Ezek. 33:8. V. 6. He who is loyal to God need not be surprised at persecution from the hands of those who cast out Jesus.—John 15:20. Named for Saint Certain birds get their names from St. Peter. According to a writer: "The petrel (in German 'Petersvogel,' Peter's bird), a bird that skims the waves, is named after the apostle who walked upon the waves of Galilee. But the parrot's is a less simple case. In Spain and in Portugal, as in France, the word corresponding to 'parrot' almost certainly represents 'little Peter'—a familiar name playfully applied because Peter was so common a Christian name. Similarly a house sparrow is nicknamed 'piperr' in France." Up to Her. A Kansas teacher had been flatly contradicted by one of her pupils. "Don't you know it's wrong to contradict your teacher?" she asked, and then turned to her pupils and said; "What does it mean when anybody contradicts you?" The red-headed boy in the back part of the room promptly replied: "Why, it means that its up to you." Doctors at Sea A little girl in Denver, four years old, swallowed a nail. It lodged in the lower part of the left lung. Since then the doctors have been treating her for pneumonia and bronchitis and would not believe the little sufferer's story of the nail. Finally an abscess formed and when it broke the nail was coughed up. First of the Kind. Rattan furniture was first made in the United States with bamboo and a kind of sea grass imported from China.

His Better-Half Was to the Fore and Brought Things Her Way Three hundred motormen, gatemen, etc., were in the line in and near the offices of the Interborough Railway company trying to get their old jobs back when a large and square-jawed wife led her husband to the New York World, though many of the men had been waiting for hours. "My husband wants to go back to work," said the woman. "He's a platform man at the —th station," she explained. "Been on strike?" asked Mr. Norris, one of Hedley's assistants. "Not the minute. I wouldn't hear of such nonsense," said the woman, snapping her jaws. "Report for duty every day?" asked Mr. Norris. "Yes," snapped the lady. "John, you reported, didn't you?" "Woof!" admitted the man, timidly. "Who oof!" admitted the wife. "Then you disobeyed orders?" "Yes," the striker man answered. "The fact is, the strikers wouldn't let me go up the stairs to the station. I tried every day, but they dragged me back." "Hmph!" I like to see 'em drag me, shorted the lady. "I'd just like to see 'em! Well, Mr. Superintendent, does John get back?" Mr. Norris asked as if he had touched Mr. Norris started as if he had touched the third rail. "Er—oh—oh-yes, madam! Oh, certainly! Yes, yes, mere matter cf form. Oh, yes! Go right back to work as soon as we examine him. I waited waiting 'men grinned at John, who looked smaller than 30 cents' worth of radium. WHAT DID THE CATCHER SAY? Something the "Fans" Would Like to Know, But Will Never Learn. It was the last half of the ninth. The pitcher had gone up in the air, and the bases were as full as three goats, relates the Newark News. The score was 5-4 in favor of the team in the field. A single would tie the score. A two-bagger would win the game. Two men in the field, and the man at bat had two strikes against him. It was a crucial moment. And, as we say, the pitcher was rattled. Suddenly the catcher held up his hand. His right hand. He removed his wire mask and stepped toward the pitcher, who advanced to meet him. With mouth close to the pitcher's ear the catcher whispered something. What it was no one heard but the pitcher, who returned to the box. The ball shot true across the plate. "Strike three!" cried the umpire. The pitcher had saved the day. Now, then, the thing we want to know is this: What did the catcher say to the pitcher? A Finder's Graft "I want you to put in your 'Lost and Found' column an advertisement like this: 'Wallet containing considerable sum of money and papers.

Drummond, Wis., Aug. 21st (Special)—Whole families in Bayfield County are singing the praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills and the reason why is given in experiences such as that of Mr. T. T.

Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It. To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of This Paper May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys begin to get better they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. Didn't Know I Had Kidney Trouble I had tried so many remedies without their having benefited me that I was about discouraged but in a few days after taking your wonderful Swamp-Root I began to feel I was of health and run down generally; had no appetite, was dizzy and suffered with headache most of the time. I did not know that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble, but somehow felt they might be, and I began to feel I was not healthy and had a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it goes right to the spot and drives disease out of the system. It has cured me, making me stronger and better in every way, and I cheerfully recommend it to all sufferers. MRS. A. I. WALKER, 331 East Linden St, Atlanta, Ga. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suffering and fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles; make your head ache and back ache, cause indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away. The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is known to medical science. How to Find Out If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of immediate attention. EDITORIAL NOTICE.—So successful is Swamp-Root in promptly curing even the most distressing cases, that to prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and a book of valuable information, both sent absolutely to the book contient many of the thousands upon thousands of testimonial letters received from men and women cured. The value and success of Swamp-Root is so well known that our readers are advised to send for a sample bottle.

"Let my counsel be acceptable, and my predictions stand forth as the fulcrum and beacon ray and hope of fu- ture glory, by duly exercising judicious judgment, union, a strenuosity in high ideals of a moral righteousness and education, intelligence and unswerving allegiance to God and sacred duties. The blessed and high price of freedom, immense in its extensive privileges, should animate to energy magnanimous holy and an impetus of ceaseless progress from consideration of what nations, who, years ago, were strangers to national greatness, but to-day dictating treaties and law recognized by world powers. These privileges were bought by a mighty national upheaval, when the earth shook by the march of enemies, and day was turned to night by the smoke of battle, when the ploughshare of destruction threatened universal carnage. Let no one's heart fail them. I speak to you the words of soberness and gentleness. I humbly and devoutly realize what this 22d day of September represents, what it stands for. I hear again your fathers' and my fathers' fervent prayers that the oppressed may go free, and the prayers uttered by faith hath been answered, and the God of righteousness and judgment has brought to pass that by laws and constitution Hydra Medusa headed slavery has been abolished. The Afro-American is a citizen, and therefore not a home-born slave nor alien. The price of this priceless heritage is perpetual vigilance. The Negro nation are born warriors from immemorial ages, long, long before Caesar, Alexander or Napoleon—long before the birth of Rome. But we are not aggressors. We are gentle, standing forth in impartial history as the masters in military science, strategy and execution of arms, possessing bravery and honor, through thousands of years from proud Nimrod the Cushite to Hannibal, from Hannibal to Toussaint L'Overture. Wendell Phillips, in impassioned voice, depicts the character of this noted martyred statesmen. If I were to tell you the story of Washington, I would take it from the lips of Americans, who find no words rich enough to paint the great captain of the nineteenth century. If I were to tell you the story of a Negro. I am to glean it from the reluctant testimony of his enemies, who hated and despised him because he had beaten them in battle. Napoleon, at the age of 27, was placed at the head of the best troops of Europe. Cromwell never saw an army till he was 40. Toussant never saw a soldier till he was 50. Cromwell manufactured his own army out of what? Out of the best blood of the island—out of the middle class of Englishmen. And with it he did what? Conquered Englishmen, their equals. Toussant manufactured his army out of what? Out of the despicable, dabased Negroes—100,000 brought into the island only four years before, unable to speak a word of intelligent English to each other—yet out of this mixed mass he forged a thunderbolt and hurled it at what? At the French, the most warlike nation in Europe, and conquered them; at the most courageful warlike nation, the Spaniard, and put them under his feet; at the pluckiest blood in Europe, the English, and they skulked back home to Jamaica. Now if Cromwell was a general, Toussant was a soldier. Now, blue-eyed Saxon, proud of your race, go back with me to the commencement of the century. Take what man you please, let him be either American or European, crown his head with the best university routine of learning, and with the silvery locks of seventy years, and show me a man of Saxon lineage for whom his most sanguine admirer will place a laurel rich as embittered foes have placed upon the head of this inspired black of Santo Domingo. Rare military skill, profound knowledge of human nature, trusting his state to the blood of his sons rather than permit the slave society of his humiliated village of his dominies, anticipating Sir Robert Peel fifty years, and taking his place by the side of Roger Williams before any American or European had won the right. I would call him Cromwell—no; Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he formed went down with him into his grave. I would call him Washington—no; the great Virginian held slaves. I would call him Napoleon—no; Napoleon made his way to empire through broken oaths and through a sea of blood. But Toussant never broke his word. England had her Hampden, France her Lafayette, Rome her Caezar, but fifty years hence, when TRUTH gets a hearing, the muse of history will take Phocion for the Greeks, Hampden for England, Lafayette for France, choose George Washington as the consummate flower of America's earlier civilization. Then, pausing with the pen of fame dipped in the ambroial rivers of seintillating water, write in the clear blue above them all the name Toussant L'Overture, the statesman, the martyr and soldier. I would persuade you by hallowed shades of our ancient ancestor, Go forward, onward, and know that the darkness and gloom is just before day."
