There were three additions to Providence Baptist church Sunday, and the attendance was as good as usual, notwithstanding the hot weather. Rev. Dr. Cole preached as we have not heard him for some time, in spite of the heat, both morning and evening. The people love to hear this man of God, for the reason he puts his very soul into his sermons, and you can't help but enjoy his message. The Chrysanthemum club of Providence Baptist church will have their musical and literary entertainment Thursday evening, August 30. All persons holding tickets dated August 2 will be admitted, as the entertainment was postponed on account of the revival meeting. It is expected that Rev. Dr. Griffin the noted evangelist, will preach at Providence Sunday evening. A. E. Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St James A. M. E. church. He is a young minister, but he has outstripped many of the older ones. He is a good preacher and an able financial manager. The ST.

JIM CROW CARS NEGRO DENOUNCES JIM CROW CARS IN KENTUCKY. [Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.] Lexington, Ky., Aug. 15.—"We are getting tired of paying passenger fare and being hauled over the country like cattle," declared Rev. G. W. Ward, D. D., of Covington, Ky., in his annual address to the general association of Kentucky Negro Baptists, "and the Negro has reached the place where he must speak out against it. Eighty-five thousand Negro Baptists in Kentucky will this day enter a protest, and this association, with 10,000 delegates, will appoint a committee to wait on the railroad commissioners of Kentucky and enter our protest. "Ever since the 'Jim Crow' car law has been in operation in this state we have been on most of the roads forced to ride in the end of smoking cars, our women subjected to insults by all kind of men, and negroes, chickens and dogs have occupied the same end of the car." The association moved to appoint a committee to lay before the railroad commissioners of the state the complaints of the Negroes. ENTERED INTO REST. Mrs. Blance Raum (nee Taylor), who, with her husband, has been making her home in Chicago, died at the home of her sisters on Twenty-first street last Sunday afternoon.

A NEW BAR. Dehoney & Mead have opened a bar at 1547 Gratiot street. Mr. Dehoney is known for his fair dealing and we anticipate that they will do well.

Grand Lodge in Session at Columbia, Mo. The grand lodge opened at 9.30 with the largest attendance ever witnessed and the best of feeling prevailing. The grand master appointed a committee to dedicate the hall of U. B. F. and S. M. T., composed of the following persons: Reverend H. C. Vaughn, O. T. Reed, S. C. Howard, J. W. Wheeler, J. N. D. Endecott, R. J. Boon and Capt. C. H. Tandy. A committee on credentials and rules was appointed. Many resolutions were read and referred to the committee on resolutions. A committee from the grand temple was received and acted on. At 12 m. the lodge adjourned, to meet at 9 a. m. August 21. The mayor of the city, who was to have made the address of welcome, failed to appear. The grand master then introduced Mr. J. H. Williams, who in a most fitting address welcomed the order to Columbia in the name of U. B. F. and S. M. T. Several other persons spoke, acquitting themselves well. The joint session adjourned, and all brothers left the hall but S. M. Pettigrew, P. M., and J. W. Wheeler, who seemed to have something on his mind. In due time Mrs. Katie Moore, G. P., called upon the grand master, and he gave some wholesome advice, as well as the manager of the Palladium. The temple adjourned, to meet at nine o'clock Wednesday, August. 22. ITEMS J. W. Wheeler, H. H. Thompson, N. Wilson, Father Will and Capt. C. H. Tandy were the guests of Mrs. Annie Peringer and Miss Annie Fischer. This dear child liked the Palladium, and seemed like an angel of Heaven who came to console the Palladium. Dr. Cartin is booked for some grand lodge office. Mrs. Katie Moore is a good presiding officer. Many candidates are looking up. Mrs. M. Monroe, captain of the Olive Leaf, drill corps, is doing all she can to make it pleasant for her company. Mr. N. Wilson is not with the dashing L. B. this time, but is laying siege to Miss Mae Fischer, of 706 Park avenue. All's well that ends well—but the Palladium holds the cards to Miss Mae Fischer. Mrs. Carrie Stevenson and Mrs. Ella Lane are agents for the Palladium in the Grand Temple. Mrs. Watson, grand secretary of the Grand Temple, has no equal as a lady orator. Past Grand Master C. K. roster is here, quite feeble. Mrs. Anna Filey, of Fayette, is the idol of the Grand Temple. Mrs. Ida Garnett is one of the most noble women in the Grand Temple. Mrs. and Mrs. Coleman are well thought of in Columbia, Mo. They are O. K. Mr. S. Word, editor of the Cosmopolitan, is taking notes for the grand lodge. J. S. Howard is a candidate for grand master of U. B. F. Dr. Cartin is also a candidate, but he will be left in the soup. EVERYONE PROUD OF THEM. The ladies as well as the men are proud of the new gents' furnishing goods store at No. 2230 Market street. They seem to enjoy the novelty of buying goods over the counter from a Colored salesman. Among those who have shown us liberal patronage we would mention Mrs. Prentiss, of South Twenty-first street; Mrs. Pillows, of No. 3322 Franklin avenue, and a host of others, for all of which we feel truly thankful. Call again, ladies. RANDALL & WELLS. ON A PLEASURE TRIP Mr. W. T. Curtis left last Tuesday morning to spend a few weeks at West Baden and French Lick.

Mabel McCoy, Sweetie Richardson (nee McGrew) and another married woman are all chums, and lively chums. Miss Dorothea Nesbit, after spend a pleasant vacation in Chicago, has returned to resume her school duties in September. Mrs. B. J. Carruthers, of 2617 Pine street, has been somewhat indisposed for several weeks. We hope she will soon be herself again. Miss Ella Rinks returned home Wednesday, August 22, from Chicago, Ill. She was entertained by a surprise party given by her mother. Mrs. J. Patillo, of 28 S. Fourteenth street, has just returned from Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls and Toledo, O. She is looking well. Since the Texas beauties have been in St. Louis, champagne has been flowing in the Newport as the waters of Niagara Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Holt, of 2704 Lawton avenue, left for New York and other eastern cities to spend several weeks. We wish them a pleasant trip. Newport cafe is under new management, Mr. U. E. Spoot.

Mack is conducting a rousing camp meeting on the John McGruder camp meeting grounds, one mile east of Bethel, Mo. The grounds are continually crowded with buggies and carriages. Misses Mabel and Eugenia Mack arrived last Wednesday, having spent several weeks in Indiana. After arriving in the city they took supper at the Newport with a young gentleman who thinks himself "It." Married men and women ought to go with their equals and the young girls and boys alone; it is unbecoming for them to interfere with their little quarrels. There are a few of these people in the 2600 block on Lawton avenue. PRIEST Rev, H. W. Smith, one of the divines of the A. M. E. Zion church. He is an able man and a gook writer.

M. All Right for Low-Neck Dress. the throat and neck prettily and make a decollete frock a pleasure to its wearer, where before it used to be almost a penance. Wash off the chest and arms with An informal at home is an excellent idea for celebrating the first anniversary of a wedding day. You could give it in the evening, and have it small and informal, although an informal evening tea is not entirely de rigueur. There will be nothing improper in having an at-home at seven until ten o'clock, even if it is not customary, but there will be some difference between the afternoon tea and the evening. For example, the guests will probably stay longer than they would at an ordinary daytime tea, and therefore provision must be made for more being present together at the same time. There will also be required a little more elaborate collation and more of it than for an afternoon entertainment. And as the guests will doubled wear dressier attire, a dressing room will probably be required, whereas at an ordinary tea there would be no use for it. Send out the invitations about ten days beforehand; use the ordinary visiting card, and in the lower correr the form, "Thursday evening, May twenty-sixth, from seven until ten o'clock." On the evening of the tea the rooms should be pleasantly lighted, without glare, but with as much candle A SEPARATE BLOUSE OF LACE. Suitable for Summer or Winter, a Most Satisfactory Possession. This pretty waist is of valenciennes lace, partially covered with appliques of heavy Irish guipure. The pointed Simple and Pretty. yoke is of gathered chiffon, outlined with the guipure. The elbow sleeve has a tight cuff of the embroidery, finished on each edge with a frill of plaited chiffon. Bran Bags. Make small bags about four inches square of fine cheesecloth; fill with sifted bran and use in place of soap; they may be dried and used a second time, provided they do not seem in the least sour. Of White Coque. A ruche for the neck of white coque feathers is tied in front with bow and ends of black velvet. Smart Frocks. Smart little shirt. waist frocks are seen made of sheer volle in blue or brown, trimmed with taffeta bands. warm water and soap, dash off with cold water to strengthen the muscles and set the blood to circulating, and then sponge liberally with water as hot as can be borne comfortably. This latter in order to open every pore and make the cream that is next applied to the skin sink readily into the skin. It is positively astonishing what an amount of cream a dry skin will absorb and that without leaving a hint or suggestion of oiliness or greasiness, either. The neck and throat should be well massaged, making up and down motions. A circular or rotary motion will fill in the hollow places on chest and shoulders best, and the same applies where the beauty cream is used on the bust—a splendid way to increase measurements. For the arms there is a slightly different mode of procedure. Here the skin food is rubbed on; then, grasping the upper part of the arm with the hand, revolve the flesh upon the bone in a circular motion. Follow this all the way down to the wrist, moving slowly and with a firm rather than a tight grasp. Then anoint the hands lightly and with the finger tips move the flesh of the hands around in tiny circles, just making both skin and flesh move upon the bone. Give the knuckle particular attention and let the finger nails have all the cream they can absorb. and lamp light, softly shaded, as possible. The decorations should be greens and daisies, which are easy to get, and cost little or nothing. Have big bowls filled with flowers combined with ferns and growing green plants. Boughs of blossoms or green leaves alone make a charming decoration for the mantel shelves and fireplaces, and small fir trees are pretty in the corners. The centerpiece of the refreshment table may be a bowl of daisies and ferns. The bride of a year ago stands in the parlor to receive, and on this occasion, since its reason is an anniversary of her wedding, she may well defy tradition and have her husband stand by her to receive also. Have a little music by all means, arrange with friends beforehand some kind of musical programme; and have them play in turn during the opening at intervals. It will be a good variation from the conversation. Ask two women relatives or friends to dispense hospitality at the refreshment table, one sitting at each end of the table, which should be spread in the dining-room and dimly lighted by candle light alone. Cake and sweet sandwiches, biscuits and candy, hot chocolate and lemonade or orangeade, and ices will suffice for refreshments. EXQUISITE TATTING COLLAR.

A young woman who had always been thin and who was very much run down from nervous prostratic, gained 15 pounds in a few months by oil rubs twice a week and later once a week. Olive, cocoanut and almond oils are used for this purpose. One patient who was in such a reduced condition from not being able to assimilate her food was given an oil rub every day, and was in this way nourished, besides gaining flesh. Tub baths should be used sparingly for frail children or very thin persons. Sponge baths and oil rubs are needed for them. SOUTHERN RAILWAY Trains Leave Union Station 10:00 A. M. 10:10 P. M.

To Introduce We Will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only 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. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

The relation of the Commandments to eternal life. They are the expressions of the salvation life (Ecclesiastes 10:5), the salvation life (Matthew 14:17), and help to us to the attainment of this character.

He was a rich and educated young man, one of the rulers of the local synagogue. He was in earnest, for he came running; courageous, for he openly; and was also humble and respectful. "Eternal life." This is the life of God which is implanted in our hearts as we begin to truly love him. V.18. "Why callest thou me good?" Jesus does not decline the appellation "good," but demands that the one who uses it shall state on what ground he applies it to him. "None good but . . . God." Only God is perfectly good, and he is the source of all goodness in men. "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments," and when the youth asked "Which?" evidently fancying that Jesus referred to some new command, the Master replied in the words of V.19. V.19. "The Commandments. Do not," etc. Jesus gives a free rendering of the commands of what we term the Second Table of the Decalogue. V.20. "All these have I kept." He had been honest, virtuous, respectable all his life. V. 21. Jesus looked upon the young man with the love-light in his eyes. He not only loved him as God loves all men, but esteemed him because of his many excellent qualities. "One thing thou lackest." Jesus will try to supply what is lacking, but it is a heart-possession, hence the young man must voluntarily accept the measures which will bring it to him. "Sell, give." Jesus saw that this young man's worldly riches were engrossing his attention, and making him so selfish that love was crowded out of his heart, hence he asked him to lay these hindrances aside. Who loves Jesus truly will gladly place all he has at his disposal and put away his worldly weach or use it as God's steward. "Come, follow me." With intense love, Jesus says to the young man, "Come with me. I have laid aside riches, for they would hinder my work for men. Love as I love. Give to men as I am giving myself. And then your goodness will become godliness, and your treasure be laid up in heaven, for your character will be godly." V. 22. "He went away grieved." His countenance fell. He loved his riches, and felt that they were a great good which he could not sacrifice. "He had great possessions." It was their hold upon his heart which made them a hindrance to him. V. 23. "Saith unto his disciples." He turned to them with a sad, disappointed look, drawing upon them for sympathy. "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of heaven!" How difficult it is for the rich to become Christians! V. 24. "Disciples were astonished." They had thought, and rightly, that riches were a great blessing, a token of God's favor; they were astonished when the danger lurking beneath them was pointed out. V. 25. "Camel go through the eye of a needle." An extravagant expression to denote an impossibility. V. 27. "With men impossible, with God possible." The very fact that we cannot save ourselves nor escape the many dangers which beset us in this life, helps us the more readily to accept Jesus as our Saviour. V. 28. "Lo, we have left all." Peter and the other apostles had left their fishing boats, their counting booths—whatever places of business they had previously occupied—and had given themselves to accompanying Jesus and aiding him in every possible way in his work. V. 29. "No man hath left house," etc. Some, or all of these, had been sacrificed by most of the apostles. (See above). "For my sake and the gospel's." Because of devotion to Jesus and desire to further the work of spreading his gospel. V. 10. "An hundredfold now." Not literally a hundred houses, or brothers, etc., but that which shall bring a hundred times as much heart satisfaction and real blessing. V. 31. "Many first . . . last; and last first." For many, conditions will be reversed. Practical Points. V. 17. Like this young man, we should seek eternal life by seeking Jesus earnestly, humbly, persistently. —Jer. 29:13. V. 18. In our God is the perfection of every virtue.—Ex. 15:11. V. 20. The righteousness which appears fair to our own eyes may wear a different aspect in the sight of God and our fellow-men.—Isa. 64:6. V. 22. Who has a divided heart finds no true joy anywhere.—Matt. 6:22, 23. V. 23. Riches put a man in great peril because they bind him to his real condition.—Rev. 3:17. A. F. and A.

GREAT HYPOCRATUS ANTHONY COMSTOCK, In New York, is on the warpath against the Art Students' league. He insists that "nakedness in art" must be suppressed. An art scholar praises Comstock in the following lines: Piano "legs" now must be covered with care, The trees cut down, if their "limbs" are bare, And new-born babies must trousers wear, When Anthony makes his rounds. Apollo his classic form must drape With coat and boots to hide his shape, And Venus, too, must put on crepe, When Anthony makes his rounds. All "bare-faced" sins must be confessed, "Bare-masted" ships be fully dressed, And "naked" stars must be suppressed, When Anthony makes his rounds.

MONTHLY RECEIPTS AND EX PENSES OF OUR GOVERNMENT. The receipts and expenses of the United States government for month ending July 31, 1906, were as follows: Receipts: Tariff ..... $26,176,744.74 Internal revenue ..... 22,102,238.65 Miscellaneous ..... 4,019,869.57 _____ $52,298,852.96 Expenses: Civil and misc. ..... $15,560,488.17 War ..... 14,256,960.85 Navy ..... 10,547,571.11 Indians ..... 1,986,715.08 Pensions ..... 11,961,126.96 Public works ..... 7,458,839.10 Interest ..... 4,041,214.44 _____ $65,813,721.71 Deficit ..... $13,514,868.75 This shows a deficit for the month of over thirteen and a half million dollars. Inasmuch as the tariff receipts are over $26,000,000, what kind of statesmanship would be required to do away with the deficit and also the $26, 000,000 received monthly for tariff? Here is certainly a grave financial problem for tariff reformers. GOD HELP THE RICH. God help the rich, Who from life's choicest gifts to baubles turn. To grasp the wages that their brothers earn; Who crush the poor; who live for selfish pleasure; Who nail humanity upon the cross; Who from the toiler take his rightful measure; Who lose the inward for the outward treasure; Thus on themselves and others wreaking loss, For tinsel things who scramble in the ditch And leave the way of life. God help the rich! The aching back of labor bent with pain. The men who toil and struggle to secure Scant means of life that they may toil again; The weary mothers with their tear-washed faces; The little children dying in their need; The ones who live in mean and wretched places, In hovels bare of homelike charms and graces; The ones whose wage is held from them by greed; The hopeless ones who patiently endure; Our hearts go out to them. God help the poor! Death of a Horse Show Promoter. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 23.—Aaron Elmer Ashbrock, one of the leading horse show promoters of the United States, and editor of the Bit and Spur, a Chicago publication, died suddenly at his home in this city of heart disease, aged 45. Public Amanuenses and General Notaries. Mr. Vashon's 18 years' experience in the tax and license division of the comproter's office in the recorder of deeds, licenses and other municipal departments and in realty circles, together with his extended and thorough classical and legal training, eminently fit him to successfully conduct such a business as he has entered upon. Geo. B. Vashon & Co., are prepared to accurately draw deeds, agreements, contracts, wills, petitions, bills of sale and all commercial and legal papers. They adjust accounts; conduct correspondence with precision; revise manuscripts; manipulate business schemes successfully, and make safe investments for their patrons. Though barely established, this firm has already contracted for three years' notarial service for the Usona Supply Co., and has been so retained by other concerns of equal commercial magnitude. They solicit the patronage of all, and guarantee perfect service. Geo. B. Vashon & Co. are at rooms 26 and 27, 503 South Fourteenth street. Communications to this address and to 2243 Oregon avenue will receive prompt attention. A SPIRITUAL JUBILEE MEETING.

I Owe to Per-ru-a My Restoration to Health and Strength." MISS RICKA LEOPOLD MISS RICKA LEOPOLD, 137 Main street, Menasha, Wis., See 'y Lied erkranz, writes: "Three years ago my system was in a terrible run-down condition and I was broken out all over my body. I began to be worried about my condition and I was glad to try anything which would relieve me. "Peruna was recommended to me as a fine blood remedy and tonic, and I soon found that it was worthy of praise. "A few bottles changed my condition materially and in a short time I was all over my trouble. "I owe to Peruna my restoration to health and strength. I am glad to endure it." Pe-ru-na Restores Strength. Mrs. Hestie Green, R. R. 6, Inka, IL., writes: "I had catarrh and felt miserable. I began the use of Peruna and began to improve in every way. My head does not hurt me so much, my appetite is good and I am gaining in flesh and strength." Considered the Proprieties. A man in Dallas county tried to shuffle off this mortal coil by hanging himself with a blind bridle. His wife found him suspended from a rafter in the barn. He was wroth at her interposition, saying: "If you had let me alone a few minutes more I would have been in heaven." His wife replied: "Yes, and you would have looked nice running around over heaven with a blind bridle on, wouldn't you?"—Thockmorton (Tex.) Times. BOYISH MIND WAS WORKING. Youngster on His First Sail Over the "Raging Main." None of us ever quite forget those days—when our years were few—of dreaming about life on the raging main, when the imagination revealed in pirates and plunder from statey galleons and valorous deeds done on storm-swept decks, says a writer in the New York Times. Recollection of this period is, at any rate, sufficiently vivid, so that the remark of a small boy could contribute materially to the "gayety of nations," among the passengers on one of the excursion steamers running from Manhattan across the harbor to Coney island. The steamer made her way across the bay, dodging tugs and ferryboats—fortunately meeting no pirate craft. The passengers, escaping gladly from the city's heat, nibbled their sandwiches and enjoyed the breeze. The waiters moved about the deck with their trays. The boy, just from the inland town, where his life so far had been spent, sat rapt and wide-eyed. If one could but know fully the "mental content" from which sprang his words at last! "Ma!" he cried, hoarsely, "tell me which one of 'em is the skipper!" SALLOW FACES Often Caused by Coffee Drinking. How many persons realize that coffee so disturbs digestion that it produces a muddy, yellow complexion? A ten days' trial of Postum Food Coffee has proven a means, in thousands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions. A Washin. young lady tells her experience: "All of us—father, mother, sister and brother—had used tea and coffee for many years until finally we all had stomach troubles more or less. "We were all sallow and troubled with pimples, breath bad, disagreeable taste in the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves. "We didn't realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and went to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postum and told us to try that. "Although we started to make it, we all felt sure we would be sick if we missed our strong coffee, but we were forced to try Postum and were surprised to find it delicious. "We read the statements on the pkg, got more and in a month and a half you wouldn't have known us. We were all able to digest our food without any trouble, one one's skin became clear, tongues cleaned off and nerves in fine condition. We never use anything now but Postum. There is nothing like it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," "There's a reason." ORDER GUNS CUBAN GOVERNMENT BUYS RAP- ID-FIRERS IN THE UNITED STATES. YANKEES TO MAN THEM Sentiment in Havana Said to Be For Annexation—The English Press Discusses the New York. — The Tribune says: President Roosevelt is to be appealed to by local Cuban-Americans, and Americans with commercial interests in Cuba, to use his influence to end the strife now in progress, before these interests are interfered with, as they will be. One word from the president, assert the men who are behind this movement, will suffice to end the uprising. Col. Carlos M. Aguirre, a veteran of the last revolution in Cuba, who apparently is the leading spirit among the local Cuban-Americans who are opposed to the Palma regime, has drafted a letter addressed to President Roosevelt. This letter calls attention to the many wrongs alleged to have been suffered by the liberals at the hands of the government, which he declares are responsible for the present uprising. It calls on President Roosevelt to appoint, by the authority of the terms of the Platt amendment, a commission to preside at a new election for president in Cuba, charging that at the last election the rights of the people were ignored, and that the constitution was violated. Havana. — Font Sterling, secretary of the treasury, cleared up a misleading announcement made at the palace to the effect that the Cuban government had asked the United States for eight rapid-fire guns manned by American artillerymen to be used in the suppression of the insurrection. The facts are, according to the secretary, that the government has ordered from an American arms manufacturing company four rapid-fire guns, and that these pieces will be manned by former members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. If these guns prove to be effective, four or more additional guns will be ordered, and it is expected experienced gunners can be procured in the United States to man them. The United States has not been asked to do anything in the premises. The subject of American intervention is not much discussa Talk Annexation. Havana. — It is believed by many Havana business men that it will be necessary for the United States to intervene and annex the isl and before the revolution will be crushed. Annexation is openly favored by the commercial interests in all of the large cities and towns in Cuba The revolutionary leaders even prefer annexation to the United States to a continuation of present conditions. Regarded as a Blow. Regarded as a Blow. The killing of the insurrectionary leader, Gen. Quentin Bandaer, in an engagement between rural guards and a band of his followers, is regarded as dealing the insurrection a heavy blow. Insurgents Capture Another Town. The insurgents have captured San Juan de Martinez, the terminus of the Westen railroad. Gen. Guenera, commander of the insurgents, has notified General Manager Livesey of the Westen that if any more troops are sent over the road he will blow up the bridge at the terminus and destroy the property. General Manager Livesey will pay no attention to the threat. The road is the property of English capitalists. A Battery of Field Artillery. New York, N.Y. New York. — Although it could not be officially confirmed, it is reported here that the steamer Esperanza, which sailed for Cuba Thursday, carries in her hold a complete battery of artillery, consigned to the Cuban government. Recalled By His Government. Capt. Luis More, of the Cuban army, who has been in this country with his wife, on leave of absence, was hurriedly recalled to Havana, and sailed Thursday by the Esperanza. Gomez' Son a Passenger. Among the other passengers on the steamer was a son of Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, former governor of Santa Clara province, and leader of the liberal party, who is under arrest for complicity in the insurrection. Comments of London Press. London. — The newspapers print editorials on the situation in Cuba. The Daily Telegraph says that intervention would create something like ferment throughout the South American republics. The Morning Post, in arriving at a similar conclusion thinks the position suggests that the difficulty of the Spanish in dealing with "the turbulent islanders" was greater than the Americans were originally inclined to believe. Drowned In Wife's Presence. Fairbanks, Ia. — Sud Miller, aged 65, a pioneer merchant tailor of this place, was drowned in Wapsis in the presence of his wife, who was almost drowned in her effort to save him. The couple were bathing. Happenings in Missouri. Missouri Farming That Pays. That Missouri farming pays and pays well when the right man and the right methods meet is shown by numerous examples. James Covington of Wellsville, is told about by his neighbors as specially illustrating the successful Missouri farmer. Mr.Covington has 1,300 acres of farm land. He bought 120 acres of the present extensive farm 20 years ago, when land was selling for but a few dollars an acre. With his earnings he would buy more land and keep on doing so, until today he has the largest tract in his section of the state. He always handled all kinds of stock, and lots of them. Seldom has he failed to make money on anything in which he dealt. He attributes his success to always doing what no one else would do. When others sold he bought, and when others bought he sold; that has been his rule of action. He now has on his farm 25 head of horses, 85 mules, 150 head of cattle and 900 head of sheep. In January, 1905, Mr.Covington went west and bought 700 head of sheep, for which he paid $2,100. From these sheep he has since sold 550 sheep, for which he received $2,337, two crops of wool, for which he received $2,295, and has 900 head of sheep left that are worth $4,950. The total receipts from the $2,100 investment during the 18 months has been $4,950 in cash and 900 head of sheep yet unsold, worth $4,950—a grand total of $9,900—Columbia Herald. Missouri the Garden Spot. Editor Moran thus sings Missouri's praises in his Wellsville Record: "Missouri is the garden spot of the earth. There is but one thing that would excuse a man for leaving the state, and that is to avoid being lynched. We would not leave to avoid that calamity. We would rather be dead here than to live some places in this country—places to which we frequently hear of Missourians-moving. We have noticed that a majority of those who leave here in search of fame and fortune returned clothed in rags and full of regret. There is not a place in all the wide world where so small an amount of energy will procure so many of the necessities and comforts of life as in Missouri. A man is a sucker to leave this state. Here we have everything that heart could wish. There is sunshine and shade, water and wood, fruit and flowers, grain and grass, corn and cash. There are spirited horses, stately mules, splendid cattle, superb sheep, and such swine as Missouri alone can grow. Best of all, we have the most beautiful women in the world. In our homes there is happiness, in our lives there is love, in our hearts there is charity. In Missouri we reap the richest blessings of divine favor. The pleasures and privileges that we enjoy find no counterpart in any part of the earth. The men who deliberately leave here deserve no sympathy in the hour of their undoing and in the day of their distress." Photographs by Lightning Another instance of lightning striking a man and photographing the surrounding scene on his body is reported from Rocheport, Boone county. A young farmer named Tom Brown was standing under a tree when he was killed by lightning. The local paper says that on his body was found a "perfect picture of the tree under which he was killed, the leaves and twigs being plainly distinguisherable." A Medal for an Odd Fellow. Several thousand persons attended the I. O. O. F. picnic at Liberty. A number of the grand lodge officers were in attendance. One of the chief features of the programme was the presentation of a gold medal to Manheim Goldman of Kansas City by W. S. Missmer, on behalf of the local lodge, for 50 years' continuous membership. He became a member July 12, 1856. Feared a Prison Mutiny Extra precaution was taken recently by the officials and guards at the Missouri penitentiary to prevent any attempt to escape by the convicts. Two private night watchmen in the vicinity of the penitentiary reported to the prison officials that they saw a man climb the prison walls and it was feared that a similar mutiny to that of last November might be attempted. Land Values Increased. Land values have increased in Missouri in one year $56,913,860, according to the 1906 report of State Labor Commissioner William Anderson, which is as much as any other two years in the history of the state combined. The year 1905 was the most prosperous the state has ever experienced, according to the data on file at the state labor bureau. St. Joseph Politicians Fought. Judge A. M. Woodson, democratic nominee for supreme judge of Missouri, and Daniel J. Clifford, deputy state dairy inspector, had a personal encounter in Judge Woodson's law office in St. Joseph recently. Woodson struck Clifford in the face with his fist. Katykids Were Early. Frost is due about the end of August if the old saying is true that it will come six weeks after the first katydid is heard. Katydids began "hollering" in the middle of July. Raised Their Assessments. Raised Their Assessments. In the state board of equalization figures given out recently the Metropolitan street railway of Kansas City is raised from a valuation of $5,900,868 to $6,552,693. The board reported a marked increase in the assessed valuation for 1905 of nearly all the public service corporations of the state. The total assessed valuation for railroads, telegraph and telephone companies and bridges is $148,920,925.51, an increase over the valuation for 1904 of $10,990,735.62. As determined by the board the valuation for purpose of taxation of the steam railroads in the state is $105,981,205.93; electric and street railways, $31,202,119.12; bridges, $4,759,500; telegraph lines, $2,468,723.25, and telephone lines, $4,599,977.21. The total increase in all cases of property by the board is in round numbers $77,759,000, of which about $10,000,000 is on the railroads, street railways, etc., and the rest is on realty and personal property. The grand total for this year is $1,240,799,394. Liberty Has a Ghost. The majority of the people of Liberty are seeking their homes early as night now and sleeping behind barred doors and windows, all because an alleged ghost has made its appearance in the city every night for several weeks past. Several women and children and a few men have met it face to face in dark places along the streets and all have fled to their homes as fast as their feet would carry them with one exception. According to everyone who has seen it, the ghost is at least nine feet tall, wears a long garment with a cape and hood, has teeth an inch long, is as black as the ace of spades, and at time travels on its hands and knees. The ghost first made its appearance shortly after the disagreement between the city authorities and the electric light company left the city in darkness. A Missouri Brace War. Following whippings which have caused much race feeling, the negroes of Sillex, Lincoln county, are selling their property and fleeing. The trouble is the outgrowth of a severe whipping which negroes gave James Edleman's 9-year-old son. One night recently a party of men, in retaliation, seized the son of Alton Pearl, a negro and whipped him. The parents applied for a warrant in Troy for the members of the party, who are known. As they returned from Troy a crowd of white men captured Mrs. Pearl, took her to a warehouse and gave her eight hard blows with a whip. The Pearls were then directed to leave Sillex, which they did. Feeling over the trouble grew so strong that the whites are said to have given general notice to all negroes to leave the village and an exodus began. $110,000 For Zinc Lease. J. C. Stewart, president of the Centercreek Mining Company, has received a check for $110,000 from S. Y. Ramage, of Oil City, Pa., for a Morgan 40-acre lease owned by that company and located north of Carterville. This is the largest cash deal ever made in this district for a 40-acre lease of zine lands on which there is but one mill. The real value of the land consists in the fact that some 40 drill holes covering the tract, show a sheet ore face of ten to 14 feet, all above the 156-foot level. The Centercreek company has also given a 60 day option on the fee of the property at a price about the same as the lease. The Pennsylvania company is planning to erect several large mills. Interest Pays Salaries. The Missouri banks having state deposits paid into the state treasury $76,018.31 interest on state deposits in 1905, according to Treasurer Gmelich's books. This lacks only $531.69 of being enough to pay the salaries of the governor, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor, superintendent of schools, members of the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners, and all their clerical forces in Jefferson City for the year. Discarded Their Lanterns. Liberty has discarded its lanters and is again enjoying au electric light service, the city council and the electric light management having come to terms. The electric light management granted the request of the council, but will not run the arc lights after 2 o'clock. When the lights were turned on the town resounded with the cheers of the people. Sedalia Editor Married. John L. Cunliff, editor of the Sedalia Capital, and Bernice Gower-Kirby, of Kansas City, were married there recently. The wedding was a quiet one. To Lead Anti-Saloon Fight. Rev. Henry McDowell has retired from the pastorate of the First Congregational church at Joplin to assume the management of the affairs of the anti-saloon league in this section. He will maintain headquarters in Carthage. Pay Big Licenses. There are four saloons in Maryville paying $2,800 license each. The Tribune favors raising the license enough to drive two or three of them out of business.

Broken Down, Like Many Another Woman, with Exhausting Kidney Troubles. Mrs. A. Taylor, of Wharton, N. J., says: "I had kidney trouble in its most painful and severe form, and the torture I went through now seems to have been almost unbearable. I had back-ache, pains in the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, feverish headaches. There were bearing-down pains, and the kidney secretions through now seems to have been all most unbearable. I had back ache, pains in the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, feverish headaches. There were bearing-down pains, and the kidney secretions passed too frequently, and with a burning sensation. They showed sediment. I became discouraged, weak, languid and depressed, so sick and weak that I could not keep up. As doctors did not cure me I decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills, and with such success that my troubles were all gone after using eight boxes, and my strength, ambition and general health is fine."

The dramatic season opens in October and closes at the end of April, when a large part of the inhabitants go fishing. Tree Made Into House. A singular maple tree on the left bank of the Oder, in Germany, is at least a century old, and has been twisted and cut into a kind of circular house of two stories. A firm, leafy floor has been formed by causing the branches to become gradually woven together. Above this is a smaller second floor, similarly formed, and the ends of the branches have been woven into solid walls, in which eight windows on each story have been cut. Chinese Ingenuity. Many attempts have been made to find an unfailing supply of pearls. The Chinese, it is said, have solved in their own way the problem of how to make a mussel "lay" pearls. Five or six small beads, made of mother-of-pearl and strung together by a thread, are dropped at the proper season into the open mouth of the shell. Two years later the mussel, when recovered it is made to disgorge the beads, now covered with a pearly crust, indistinguishable from the naturally made pearl. Rice Eaters. In China and its dependencies, with a population of 400,000,000, or 25 percent, of the total population of the world, rice is the principal food supply. The same may be said also of India, with its population of 275,000,000, and Japan, with its 40,000,000. In addition to these it is a chief article of diet with other peoples of Asia and Africa, whose population is estimated at 100,000,000. The total reaches 815,000,000, or 50 per cent. of the total population of the earth.—Boston Globe. Suffered for "White Lie." Is a white lie ever justified? That at least some people believe it has no excuse is proved by the following tale: An ancient rabbi came to a city where all the people were truthful, married one of the inhabitants, had two children and prospered. One day a neighbor called when the rabbi's wife was washing her head, and the rabbi, going to the door, was seized by false modesty and said that she had gone out. Thereupon both of his children died, and, as no one died in that city before reaching old age, the neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi confessed what he had done, and was ordered to leave the city immediately.

In a report in the London Times it is stated that the Cape to Cairo railway in South Africa has been opened so as to run over the Kafue river on a bridge which stands on 13 spans, each 100 feet, with pillars resting on a bed 16 feet under the water. Kafue river is 266 miles north of Victoria falls, and the distance from Cape Town is 1,908 miles. The railroad, however, is now at Broken hill, 347 miles beyond the falls, the line having been pushed on while the bridge was building over the Kafue river.

Always use them How Emperor William is Battling Against a Dangerous Heredity. Emperor William's father died of cancer of the throat. Emperor William himself had infantile paralysis, and has had to struggle with many infirmities. It has been whispered that he himself is troubled with the same malady which carries off his father. Royal blood is unfortunately most generally deteriorated blood, as an ambulance, and is doing his best to eradicate the bad blood from himself and his family by the adoption of simple life principles. Through the visit of a countryman of his to Battle Creek, Michigan, while in this country, visiting the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became acquainted with the Battle Creek idea of simple living and has to a large extent adopted the methods in his family. His wife and children live the simple life and the simple number, King Edward, also has these baths installed in his Windsor and Buckingham Palaces for the use of himself and Queen Alexandra. Among other things GOOD HEALTH, the oldest health journal in the world, tells about the Battle Creek idea and the simple number, King William is brimful ofulate ideas. Sample copy 10 cents.

Transmission of Facial Characteristics It would appear that the transmission of facial traits subordinate to a definite law, that is to say, that ancestral facial expression and appearance are more often than not transmitted through the female members of the family, who generally do not exhibit the same characteristics to the male offspring, and that the younger generations show, as a rule, all the facial conditions and signs which were present in a remote ancestor—North American Review. Facts About Alaska. Alaska is an interesting region. In area she is twice as large as Texas, with California thrown in, but her resident white population numbers only about 30,000, though in summer she has from 10,000 to 20,000 more whites. In fur, fish and minerals she is rich. Since her annexation she has furnished $50,000,000 of furs, $60,000,000 of fish and $70,000,000 of minerals, chiefly gold and silver. Her output of gold, which was $9,000,000 in 1904, was $16,000,000 in 1905, and will be fully $26,000,000 in 1906.—Leslie's Weekly. HIs Interest Was Personal. An eccentric member of the British parliament who died recently endeavored vainly during a quarter of a century to get passed into law a bill for preventing persons from standing outside windows while cleaning them. During his last session the old fellow complained to a colleague that his object in introducing the bill had been quite misunderstood by the house for these 25 years. "I introduced the bill," said he. "not for the sake of the window cleaners, but for the sake of the people below, on whom they might fall. The idea of the bill was suggested to me by the fear that a window cleaner might fall on myself." GAS USED UNDER LIME KILNS. Innovation by Connecticut Company Is a Success. The New England Lime company, of Winstead, Conn., asserts that it is the first to introduce gas as fuel for lime burning. The method is pronounced an entire success. The growing scarcity of wood fuel led to the discovery of gas as a substitute for wood, and the company no longer considers the gas method an experiment. The efficacy and reliability of gas have been demonstrated beyond a doubt. Had it been impossible to find a substitute for wood, said a member of the company, it would have meant the restriction and perhaps the total abandonment of the business. Gas fires are absolutely clean at all times—no clinkers and no clinders—and the lime produced is much whiter than that burned by wood. Gas also produces a more intense heat, and consequently increases the capacity of the kilns.

I found no relief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me great distress. "It was that sore, gnawing, hungry feeling in my stomach that was so distressing and I became a sick man. Grape-Nuts was recommended as a food that could be easily digested. "Leaving the old diet that had given me so much trouble, I began to eat Grape-Nuts with a little cream and sugar. The change effected in 24 hours was truly remarkable, and in a few weeks I was back to health again. "My work as a minister calls me away from home a great deal, and recently I drifted back to fat meat and indigestible foods, which put me again on the sick list. "So I went back to Grape-Nuts and cream and in four days I was put right again. The old dull headaches are gone, stomach comfortable, head clear, and it is a delight to pursue my studies and work. "Grape-Nuts food is worth more than money to me, and I hope this may induce some sufferer to follow the same course I have." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

Further particulars of the work are given in The Friend of Sylhet at the remarkable annual assembly meeting at Mairang. People came in crowds from all directions; in some cases whole churches, not content that their teachers and deacons should come, came en masse, so that it soon became a problem how to accommodate the thousands in such a small village, situated on bleak and inhospitable hills. The rajah did his part royally. For three days he fed hundreds, and on the Sunday it was reported that 4,000 people sat at meal in his house, and 2,000 in the house of one of his relatives. Each house, Christian and non-Christian, had its full quota. One poor woman, who had reluctantly promised to take five visitors, rejoiced in saying that she had been able to take 40. It was a truly marvelous sight to see the congregation that had gathered on Sunday. The number was reckoned to be about 10,000. The correspondent says: "But if the number of people made us wonder, the sights in the meetings were more marvelous still. It was a time in which the Spirit of God manifested Himself unmistakably. Throughout the assembly one felt in the midst of people who realized the nearness of Jesus Christ. The truth had dawned upon them as Dr. Dale said it came to him one Easter morning—Jesus Christ is alive. In the prayers we heard people conversing with their Saviour, as if they were face to face with Him. These were people who had experienced the joy of salvation. Gladness was the prevailing spirit. To them it was not a mere duty to attend the meetings, but real pleasure, and this pleasure was not due to any excitement. The report of the year told us that 5,000 persons had entered the church since the previous assembly." SOULS AND TEETH. Missionary Worker in Africa Preaches and Then Pulls Teeth. Among the many and various items of interest in the speeches given at the May anniversary of the great missionary societies, there can scarcely have been one to surpass what was told by a Wesleyan missionary, lately returned on furlough from Rhodesia. He has been laboring there for 14 years, during which time he has translated the Bible into the Mashona tongue. But his audience in Exeter hall were amused beyond measure when he went on to tell them that there was one thing which, if he did not take it with him in his evangelistic travels, the African natives would miss more than an ordinary English church-goer would miss his minister's sermon if he had forgotten to bring it with him into the pulpit. That was the forceps for extracting teeth. He had found that an indispensable accompaniment in his missionary work. At the end of a service, he would say: "If any of you want your teeth attended to, you must wait behind after the congregation have gone." He had drawn as many as 20 teeth when he had finished preaching the gospel to a crowd of natives. Heine once said, with his skeptical sneer: "Psychical pain is more easily borne than physical, and if I had my choice between a bad tooth and a bad conscience, I should choose the bad conscience." But here, observes the Record of Christian Work we have a Christian missionary who is happily able to deal with both. JAPAN AS TUTOR OF INDIA. Nation's Victory Over Russia Has Given Her Great Prestige. Reports from India have indicated the profound effect on the natives of Japan's victory over Russia; and it has been said that Indian youth hereafter, in considerable numbers, instead of going to the colleges in India founded by the English, or to Oxford or Cambridge for their finishing education, would go to Japan's institutions of learning. Certain it is that hereafter there is to be far more intercourse between India and Japan than in the past, and here is proof of it. Rev. Tasuke Harada, pastor of the largest Congregational church in Japan, at Kobe, and Mr. Motuda, of St. Paul's college, Tokio, have been invited by the India Y. M. C. A. Union to visit India, and speak at university centers on Japan's history and ideals. They are now in India speaking with power from the Christian standpoint. A Wise Decision. A regiment of soldiers was drawn up for church parade in the barrack-square at Belfast, but the church was being repaired and could only hold half of them. "Sergeant major," shouted the colonel, "tell all the men who don't want to go to church to fall out on the reverse flank." Of course, a large number quickly and gladly availed themselves of the privilege. "Now, sergeant major," said the colonel, "dismiss all the men who did not fall out, and march the others to church—they need it most." To Cure, or Money Refunded by Your Merchant. So. Why Not Try IT? Price, 50o, Retail. Washington, D. C., August 20th.—A determined effort will be made at the next session of congress to prevent another appropriation for the free distribution of common garden seeds. Congress now expends $242,000 a year in giving away the commonest varieties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and pumpkin seeds. They are divided into 40,000,000 packets so that the packets cost about half a cent each. But as a large part of the appropriation is expended in clerk hire, packeting the seed, etc., the actual value of the seed in a packet is much less than half a cent. These packets are put up in packages of five packets, the total cost of the packages being about two cents each, and they are purchasable anywhere at five cents. Each member of congress gets 12,000 such packages, which he distributes to the voters of his district. The farmers say that these packages contain so little seed as to be of no value to them, while the total appropriation, if expended in sending out really rare and valuable seed, or in maintaining a national agricultural college, or divided among the state agricultural colleges, would be of immense value to the farming interests. They therefore protest against the waste of public money. The seedmen claim that as congress has already expended $5,000,000 in giving away turnip and watermelon seed, it is time it should give away saws, axes or hoes and give the seed trade a rest. Those who believe that congress should cut off this perquisite of its members now used for political purposes, are writing their senators and representatives, urging them to abolish the free seed distribution, and the National Grange, many state and local granges, horticultural, agricultural and other societies are adopting resolutions condemning it. Mr. William Wolff Smith, of Washington, D.C., has been selected to represent the opposition to the congressional free seed distribution, and is personally answering all inquiries concerning the same. Small Profits of Pawnshops. Consul General George W. Roosevelt reports that the official report of the Brussels pawnshop for 1905 shows a capital employed of $387,181 and profits made during the year of only $4,966. The amount of loans on pawns was $1,253,173. In 1904 the amount loaned exceeded the amount for 1905 by about $96,500. GOOD COLORS FOR HOUSES It is not generally known—not even among painters—why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses, and the knowledge of just what tints are best to use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent book, says that experiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the sun, will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film. Thus red is a good color because it turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays. In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, browns, grays and olives which, considering the various tones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the blues. It must be understood that no virtue is claimed for tints in themselves, irrespective of the materials used in the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scale off, if adulterated white lead or canned paint is used, but if one is careful to use the best white lead—some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer—and genuine linseed oil, the warm tints mentioned above will outwear the same materials tinted with the cold colors.

Hitchter In Use For Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies; those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

For the first time in thirteen years the government announced last week its purpose to purchase silver for coinage purposes. Tenders are invited at the office of the director of the mint in Washington, D. C., on every Wednesday until further notice. These tenders are to be for delivery at the Philadelphia, New Orleans or Denver mint, settlement to be on the New York basis of bullion guaranteed .999 fine. The treasury reserves the right to reject all tenders or accept such part of any tender as may suit its convenience. It is understood that, anticipating its reappearance as a purchaser might temporarily disturb the market unduly, the treasury has obtained considerable amounts for future delivery, so that it is in a position to drop out of the market for several months if desirable. The average requirements for the treasury throughout the year will probably not exceed 100,000 ounces per week, and it will be the policy of the department, while keeping a reasonable amount on hand, to distribute its purchases throughout the year so that its demands will be uniform and not an element of uncertainty in the market. From the resumption of specie payments in 1879 down to the year 1900 the constant increase in the stock of subsidiary coin required by the growing population and trade of the country was supplied by the recoignage of old and uncurrent subsidiary coins, which accumulated in the treasury under the resumption act. In 1900 as this stock was running low, authority was granted in the monetary act of March 14 to the secretary of the treasury to divert to the coinage of subsidiary pieces bullion purchased under the act of July 14, HOW TO DETECT BASE COIN. In the course of a trial at the London central criminal court, on the 29th ulto., the foreman of the jury which had been trying some of the mint cases, addressing the common sergeant, said that if the authorities would accept a suggestion of 12 business men who had during the year to deal with a considerable amount of silver coin, there was a most simple method of detecting base coin immediately. It was to take the suspected coin between the forefinger and thumb of the left hand and a good coin in the same manner in the other hand and to rub the grained edges of the coins sharply together, when the metal of the spurious coin would almost immediately shave off. It was a test which could be carried out on the top of an omnibus car or in a railway train, and the jury thought the public ought to know of it. He had written to three chancellors of the exchequer pointing out that the mint authorities were depriving the public of this simple test by continuing to issue crown and threepenny pieces with plain edges. The common sergeant, after experimenting with two coins, quite agreed with the jury as to the value of the suggested test, which ought to be generally known.
